In a confusing turn of events, Gor Mahia chairman Ambrose Rachier has told the Daily Nation that Hassan Oktay will not be named head coach until other candidates are assessed as well.
Story from the Daily Nation
Hassan Oktay is not yet Gor Mahia coach but is among the four possible candidates in the race to take over the vacant head coach position, club's chairman Ambrose Rachier has clarified.
Rachier has said that Oktay will face off with Stefano Maccopi from Italy, former Asante Kokoto coach Steven Polack (Finland) and a fourth coach who is believed to be of Russian descent.
The successful candidate will step in the shoes vacated by Englishman Dylan Kerr who has since joined up South African Premier Soccer League (PSL) outfit Black Leopards.
Press reports had on Sunday indicated that Oktay had taken over the reins at the Sportpesa Premier League defending champions and he even gave halftime pep talk during K'Ogalo's 1-0 loss to Kariobangi Sharks in the Kenya Premier League Super Cup at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani.
Oktay will also travel with Gor Mahia to Blantyre as they seek to defend their slim 1-0 win against Nyasa Big Bullets in Caf Champions League preliminary round. The winner of this tie will meet the victor between Cameroonian side USM de Loum and Nigerian side Lobi Stars.
Rachier has described Oktay as an experienced coach and affordable placing the Turkish-Cypriot in pole position to be named as Kerr's successor. "Hassan (Oktay) has a lot of experience coaching in West Ham, he has also won the league in Thailand and speaks very good English having worked in a premier league team as an assistant coach, we felt attracted," Rachier said.

Sharing economy based social network Corld has just launched its Token Distribution Event to reach its initial adopters. Having aimed to build the future of social networking through a unique sharing economy model, Corld will share its advertisement revenues with users of the platform through its Cedium token. Both individuals and businesses will be able to use Cedium, which serves as the sole accounting unit of Corld, for all economic transactions made within the platform.
Share of Revenue from Advertisers to Users
Cedium will be the sole payment method for buying advertising space on Corld. Advertisers will make payments in Cedium by using "Corld Ad Platform". Corld users will instantly receive a huge portion of advertising revenue in Cediums if they prefer to view relevant ads. Corld users will be able to obtain Cediums via "Cedium Rewards Pool", which holds 15% of total Cedium supply. One third of the Rewards Pool will be distributed to initial users and will continue to be distributed as maximum equivalent of one third of the remainder per annum. Corld users will be able to use their Cediums to donate, make economic transactions or simply trade them on selected cryptocurrency exchanges after the Token Distribution Event ends on 31st of December.
"Corld Aims to Reach 10% Market Share"
Corld's Co-Founder and CEO, Cem Unsal had this to say on the launch:
"Unlike established social networks, which create wealth only for the few by monetizing personal data, Corld will share its economic value with its users. We do not see the token distribution event as solely a crowdfunding initiative as Corld takes its strength from its 'community first' approach. We see our token holders not only our partners and investors but also the early adopters of our social platform. Currently there are 3.4 billion social media users worldwide. We aim to reach at least 1% of this audience in the next couple of years, and up to 10% of social media users worldwide in the long run. We know that there are millions of social media users out there, who will be the first adopters of the future of social networking by embracing a collaborative world' philosophy."
One Solution to Most Common Social Network Problems: "Journey"
Having identified the most common problems in today's social media as the lack of freedom, privacy, collaboration, relevancy and audience understanding, Corld differs from established social networks by resolving these problems with a unique content sharing concept, the "Journey". As a visual collection of experiences, passions, hobbies and events, Journey resides at the core of Corld platform. Corld users can share and explore life by creating journeys based on their preferences or following other users' journeys instead of following profiles. Corld opens the path to a collaborative world by enabling users and their collaborators create content together in collaborative Journeys. With all of its features "Journey" system will give all Corld users an exceptional social networking experience by allowing total control on what to share, how to share and with whom to share.

About Facial Cosmetics and What We Offer
Dr. Park is trained and licensed to perform facial cosmetic procedures, including Botox and dermal fillers.
Botox Cosmetic treatment is a revolutionary approach to reversing the affects facial wrinkles. "Crow's feet", worry lines and laugh lines can all be a thing of the past. These are referred to as "dynamic wrinkle lines" and all are treatable with this procedure. Cosmetic denervation is the process of injecting Botox Cosmetic into the tiny facial muscles that create the wrinkles.
Botox Cosmetic Injections are performed with topical skin anesthetic cream, or without anesthesia because they are virtually painless. Only a very small sting is felt when the injections are made. It usually takes a few days for the injections to take effect. The effect is not permanent and injections may need to be repeated two to three times per year to retain the effects.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are minimally invasive procedures that can plump thin lips, enhance shallow contours, soften facial creases, remove wrinkles and improve the appearance of recessed scars.
Unlike Botox injections that relax the muscle under a wrinkle, dermal fillers fill the line, crease, or area with one of several different substances. As a result, trouble spots nearly disappear.
Dermal fillers, also known as injectable implants, are medical device implants approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The treatment is fast and easy.
Whether Botox or dermal fillers are the right treatment for you depends on the location and type of condition you would like treated. Schedule your appointment today to discuss your options.

Celine commented
I have the same problem. So frustrating. Please help
David Raven-Hill commented
This is also the case in my Apple Mail. I find this so annoying that I am going to delete the whole thing.
It's completely ridiculous.
Ron J Horne commented
Maybe creating a Rule in Gmail that will block or send "Lifecake" to trash is the answer????
MAMA commented
Can we get an update on this issue about turning off notifications? Still a problem.
Philip Smith commented
I keep getting emails for new content when this is turned off on my phone. Very annoying
Tom commented
I have raised this issue with Support myself as I have had complaints from friends & family about the frequency of emails from Lifecake relating to activity on timelines. I received some clarification from Support, explaining that the 'email notifications' and the 'push notifications' (the one coming to your phone / tablet for example) are separate settings. From the App, you can only adjust the push notifications and from the website, you can only adjust the email notifications. I don't think some app users are even aware the website exists so they don't know they need to log in there and disable all notifications to stem the flow of emails. Users also need to click the Unsubscribe link from Lifecake emails.
Ewelina commented
There is no way off turning off the notifications. I get like 30 emails a day, which I really don't want. The answer about you working on this is from 2014. Has anything changed or happend, that we can't find easily in the app on the iphone??? Please do something about this.
Anna Holdaway commented
why can't I control email notifications from the app as I can from my computer? I would like to know when people post a new photo but not when someone likes or messages. I can do this on the computer but can't find an option on my iPhone app. Some of my friends and family only have the app and are finding the constant emails annoying but can't turn them off. Surely you can sort this out as it obviously turns people off using lifecake.
Melissa commented
Stop emailing me when I turn off all email notifications and updates in settings. I still get multiple emails, and shouldnt.. They should only hit my phone as notifications within the app.
Same here- will you please please please turn off my email notifications. Thanks
Same for me - please turn off all notifications. Thanks
Yes-please turn OFF my email notifications. I've turned everything off that I can see to turn off in the app. I do not receive notifications in my phone screen, but my email is still FULL of Lifecake emails. Help! I check the Lifecake app almost daily to see updates, I don't need to know every time someone else comments or likes a photo.
Thanks for working on this common problem!
binsy commented
I can't turn off email notifications either. Please turn them off!
Mazola commented
Hi, I have tried to get to notifications to turn off comment emails but can't seem to do this. Please can you do this for me.

2013 is shaping up to be a great year for fans of science fiction. With Iron Man 3 being as cool as it is, Oblivion out in theaters and several other exciting titles coming up such as Elysium, Gravity, and several other titles in the works, fans of the genre are going to be spoiled.
The highlight of the year, so far, is Star Trek: Into Darkness. This latest movie of the franchise is again directed by J.J Abrams and in short, it delivered.
Star Trek Into Darkness is a must see for Trekkies as well as science fiction and movie lovers everywhere. It was a great experience watching this movie; one of the most entertaining experience I've had from science fiction lately.
Let me begin this review by a disclaimer: I'm a Star Wars fanboy. Always have been, always will be. I was never much into Star Trek, although I did enjoy certain series and the movies. While friction had always existed between trekkies and fanboys – understandable due to trekkies' innate insecurity stemming from the absolute badassery of the Star Wars Expanded Universe – we are above all else science fiction fans. And Into Darkness delivered that in spades.
While I would not call it hard science fiction, Into Darkness delivered what the audience would expect from a Star Trek movie and more. The space scenes were wonderfully done. Definitely worth going to see it at an IMAX theater. The battle scenes were thrilling. The fight scenes were brutal and sharp; something I did not expect from a Star Trek film. There is one scene that, without resorting to spoilers, made me gape in awe and grinned widely. You'll know what it is when you see it. As an action-scifi movie, it was very well made. Very nicely done.
The story itself was satisfying. Sure, hardcore trekkies will pretty much know what's what from the beginning, but it still retains its mysteries to the very end. The twists and turns of the plot were nicely carried by well acted, well developed characters. Of course the first movie did wonders in pre-developing these characters for you. The main protagonists are pretty much the same: Capt. Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty and Uhura. And that little alien dude that is always with Scotty although he really didn't do much of anything. Aside from Spock's dive into (a little more) emotions, there were really nothing new in them.
Where the movie shined, however, was its villain. As is always in Space Operas in particular, and action-thrillers in general, the villains make the movie. The often one dimensional protagonists (really, unless you want to bring in an anti-hero – which does not fit the Star Trek universe) needs to be offset by a multidimensional, passionate villain. Someone you can root for if you're like me and have always rooted for the bad guys (because they're so cool! I mean Empire vs. Rebels? Come on!). Someone you can respect. And in this respect, Benedict Cumberbatch takes the whole damn cake.
I cannot say much about his character. You'll have to find out yourself. BUT what I can say is that he played it perfectly. He's at once touching and ruthless. Inspiring and terrifying. The only thing I wish J.J. Abrams did better was to introduce a deeper back story to his character. A motivation to his actions. However, that is no reason to fret. Cumberbatch pulled it off with gusto. Definitely one of the best villains of the year. Actually the best villain of the year so far.
One thing you'll notice from this movie is that while it manages to satisfy the trekkies with its nods to the Star Trek saga, it will also engage those in the audience who are non-fans. If you like action sci-fi, you'll definitely like this one.
Star Trek Into Darkness is definitely a nice sequel. Its big, its loud, the effects are impeccable and the story is engaging enough. The characters are believable, well developed and likable – even the villain. Yes, it does have that 'yet-another-big-budget-scifi-movie' feel, especially with all the action going on, but hell, it entertained me. A Star Wars fanboy. If you're a fan of science fiction, you don't want to miss this one.

Chapter 586: Victory or Defeat in One Move
"Xiao Chen, shall we decide victory or defeat with one move?" Duanmu Qing asked softly.
Xiao Chen did not reject her suggestion. He nodded and said, "Make your move, then!"
"Ice Fury!"
Duanmu Qing's fine black hair turned completely white as she took out her best move. Frost coated her slender sword as a sharp state of ice pulsated on the blade. Her state of ice looked like it would engulf the world and freeze the sea.
"Ka ca!"
Xiao Chen drew his saber and used a thirty-percent-comprehended saber intent. A solid-looking crystalline saber Qi surged out from the blade.
After cutting the state of ice in half, the might of the saber Qi did not diminish. It continued on to break Duanmu Qing's protective Essence shield and leave a shallow wound on her body.
Duanmu Qing knew that Xiao Chen had gone easy on her. At the same time, she felt astonishment at his strength. At the end, during the crucial moment, he was still able to control his saber Qi as he pleased.
As of now, the difference between Xiao Chen and Duanmu Qing could no longer be described as a mere gap.
Xiao Chen sheathed his saber. After some thought, he said, "Your state of ice seems to have somewhat taken form, so it looks mightier. However, its power is actually dispersed. You are not Liu Xiaoyun; without sufficient support, this sort of display can not withstand a single blow from an expert.
"You would be better off turning your state of ice into cold wind and infusing it into your Sword Technique. While its aura would be weaker, it is denser."
When Duanmu Qing heard this, she went into deep thought. She seemed to figure out something while musing. After a while, she said, "Many thanks."
Victory and defeat was already decided. Duanmu Qing's jade pendant could not help but fire out a golden light into Xiao Chen's jade pendant.
Immediately, Xiao Chen clearly felt that his golden dragon became stronger. Furthermore, it felt very happy.
Sima Lingxuan appeared in the next match. Before his strong self-confidence, his opponent did not even dare to look him in the eye. After he went up the Wind Cloud Platform, he immediately admitted defeat.
Seeing the golden line enter his jade pendant, Sima Lingxuan's lips curled up as he shook his head slightly. He said, "How boring."
The competition carried on in a methodical fashion. As per the precedents, when ordinary participants met with the scions of the eight Noble Clans, or with young giants like Xuanyuan Zhantian, they would choose to concede the match. Otherwise, they would ask to decide victory with one move, so they could understand the gap between them and these giants.
Given this, the competition proceeded at a decent pace. They finished the first round after two hours. By sunset, they already finished twelve rounds. Xiao Chen had won all twelve of his matches, not suffering any defeat.
The little golden dragon in Xiao Chen's jade pendant was not only bright, it did not show any signs of dimness. Furthermore, it seemed significantly larger, occupying the entire jade pendant. It looked like it would be able to break out of the jade pendant with one more victory.
As for Murong Chong's little golden dragon, it was far from comparable to Xiao Chen's. Out of the twelve matches, Murong Chong won only five of them. Not only did his golden dragon not grow, it shrank slightly and became dimmer.
Murong Chong secretly cast a glance at the golden dragon in Xiao Chen's jade pendant and felt somewhat dejected. It was truly frustrating. If Xiao Chen did not exist, his results would not look as bad as they did now; they would be sufficient to shake the entire Heavenly Saber Pavilion.
However, when compared to Xiao Chen, the gap immediately became clear. Murong Chong's golden dragon did not even look like a dragon; it could not even compare to an earthworm. Murong Chong felt very depressed. When he returned, he would be embarrassed to speak of his results.
Just at this moment, a crisp 'crack' resounded and there was a dragon roar. After Wang Quan defeated his opponent, the jade pendant at his waist shattered. With a golden flash, a five-clawed dragon about seventeen meters long circled above his head.
"It broke! After winning thirteen consecutive victories, the golden dragon finally broke free. The moment it came out, it was already seventeen meters long. It looks like his Luck was originally pretty good from the start. When the golden dragons of ordinary participants break free, they would be only about ten meters long."
"That is natural. Wang Quan was ranked sixth in the previous Five Nation Youth Competition. How can the Luck of ordinary cultivators be compared to his?"
"Ka ca! Ka ca!"
After Wang Quan's golden dragon broke out, the golden dragons of the top ten of the previous Five Nation Youth Competition and of a few others started breaking out as well.
"How awesome! Qian Wen's golden dragon is also seventeen meters."
"Gong Yangyu's golden dragon is somewhat weaker. It is only fifteen meters, about two meters stronger than Liu Xiaoyun's."
"However, if you want to talk about strength, Bai Qi's golden dragon is more powerful. It is twenty meters long. As the second ranked of the previous Five Nation Youth Competition, his Luck is indeed extraordinary."
When Bai Qi finished his match, a twenty-meter-long golden dragon appeared above him, standing out in the crowd. It overwhelmed all the other golden dragons circling in the air.
"Next match, Sima Lingxuan versus Gao Wei!"
After the referee's voice sounded out, Sima Lingxuan's figure flickered a few times before arriving at the Wind Cloud Platform.
"It is likely that Sima Lingxuan's golden dragon will break out after this match. I wonder how long his golden dragon will be? Will it be able to surpass Bai Qi's?"
"It will definitely surpass Bai Qi's. It is just a matter of how much. One meter, or two?
The crowd was filled with anticipation. They really wanted to see the length of this man's golden dragon—this man who overflowed with self-confidence and gained the top seeded spot in two Five Nation Youth Competitions.
The participant called Gao Wei was a disciple of a Great Jin Nation sect. Although it was not one of the ten great sects, they had plenty of resources. They controlled more than ten Spirit Veins.
Due to his sect, Gao Wei did not lack in resources. Furthermore, he had outstanding talent and grew up in the Great Jin Nation, which was rich in Spiritual Energy. Thus, he managed to get into the top one hundred rather easily.
However, when Gao Wei heard that his opponent was Sima Lingxuan, he immediately became dejected. He walked over to the Wind Cloud Platform very unwillingly.
When going against the other scions of the Noble Clans, even if Gao Wei knew that he could not defeat them, he would choose to decide things in one move. He would try to see if he could comprehend something from that move. However, when facing Sima Lingxuan, he could only admit defeat. This was because Sima Lingxuan's strong self-confidence had already fused completely with his aura.
When exchanging glances with Sima Lingxuan, those with weak wills would immediately feel inferior. Under such circumstances, they would not even be able to bring out half their strength. How could they even speak of exchanging moves? That was simply a joke.
"I admit defeat!"
Like the crowd anticipated, Sima Lingxuan's thirteenth opponent chose to admit defeat immediately, like the others who came before him. They did not even have the courage to exchange one move.
Following Gao Wei's admission of defeat, a golden beam of light came out from the jade pendant at his waist. Then, that beam of light immediately entered Sima Lingxuan's jade pendant.
"Ka ca!"
The sound of a jade pendant breaking rang out. A dazzling golden light flickered and a twenty-seven-meter-long five-clawed golden dragon circled around Sima Lingxuan's head, brandishing claws and fangs. Then, it recklessly soared into the air.
The twenty-seven-meter-long golden dragon immediately suppressed Bai Qi's twenty-meter-long golden dragon. It stood out from the swarm of golden dragons, looking very tyrannical.
"Sima Lingxuan truly lives up to his name. No wonder he is so strong. With such strong Luck, he is undefeatable."
"It is seven meters longer than Bai Qi's golden dragon. He has a suppressive advantage. Although Luck does not represent a person's strength, it is a considerable factor."
"Ha ha! This is just the start. Only when the ranking matches end can we be sure of their Luck."
"That is true. I wonder if Sima Lingxuan's golden dragon can reach thirty meters? That is a number that represents the peak. He would be able to truly reach the apex."
[TL note: The measurement used here is zhang (丈). One zhang is 3.3 meters. So in this case, thirty meters is nine zhang. That is why they said it is the peak, nine is the largest numeral.]
When Sima Lingxuan's jade pendant broke and the golden dragon representing his Luck emerged, it immediately shocked the crowd, stunning them.
When Xiao Chen looked at Sima Lingxuan's golden dragon, a shocked look flashed in his eyes as well. He thought to himself, I wonder how much Luck I have?
However, when Xiao Chen thought about it, he did not expect it to be as much as Sima Lingxuan's. At best, it would be of the same level as Wang Quan's and the others'. It would be slightly inferior to Bai Qi's.
After all, Xiao Chen had not been in this world that long. If he had not managed to climb to the eighth floor of the Ancient Desolate Tower, his Luck would be less than Wang Quan's and the others'.
However, Xiao Chen did not worry too much. This was just the start. As long as he kept winning, his Luck would slowly increase and his opponent's Luck would decrease.
By seizing the Luck of others to strengthen themselves, the strong would become stronger and the weak, weaker.
When Chu Chaoyun saw Sima Lingxuan's Luck flying overhead, a trace of undeniable desire flashed in his eyes. He muttered to himself, "The Luck of the Wind Cloud Arena is indeed strong.
"It is even stronger than the Luck of my Tianwu Royal Clan. However, after this great competition, that is where your Luck will end."
As the matches of the thirteenth round continued, the participants ranked highly in the previous Five Nation Youth Competition managed to consecutively defeat their thirteenth opponent. The jade pendants at their waists shattered and turned into golden dragons soaring into the air.
"Next match, Nangong Ziyue versus Li Tianhua!"
Nangong Ziyue was ranked eighth in the previous Five Nation Youth Competition. Li Tianhua was the scion of the eight Noble Clans' Li Clan, he was ranked fifth in the previous Five Nation Youth Competition.
Finally, in the thirteenth round, a match of the giants appeared on the Wind Cloud Platform. This was a match between the scions of the eight Noble Clans. It instantly attracted a lot of attention.
Li Tianhua used a spear and practiced the Coiling Dragon Spear Technique. It was famous for its oppressive might and was a peak Superior Grade Earth Ranked Martial Technique.
Like the flood dragon, the horned dragon, the earth dragon, and fire dragon, the coiling dragon was also a high-ranked Spirit Beast with the bloodline of dragons.
The coiling dragon was one of the nobler species and contained a large amount of true dragon's blood. It had lost its ability to soar into the nine heavens and frequently stayed on land.
However, the amount of power the coiling dragon could display on land was not inferior to that of a true dragon. It could easily shatter mountains and split the earth. People often called it a true dragon of the earth.
Xiao Chen had seen Li Tianhua's moves before. When the two of them went up to the Wind Cloud Platform, he could guess the outcome of the match. Nangong Ziyue was not Li Tianhua's equal. The state that Li Tianhua comprehended was, coincidentally, the nemesis of the state of mountain and water.
In cases where opponents had similar cultivation levels, one could win only by techniques and tricks when their states were countered.
The match proceeded as Xiao Chen had expected.
Li Tianhua held the spear and used the might of a coiling dragon. As his spear moved, it looked like a coiling dragon moving about; its aura was overwhelming. While on the ground, it always succeeded in suppressing Nangong Ziyue's Immortal Mountains and Rivers Fist.
Occasionally, the tall mountains would be smashed into pieces, and the rivers would surge and splash up. This made it very hard to gather the might of the state of mountains and waters.
As a result, Nangong Ziyue's Fist Technique weakened, losing a certain tyranny in its aura.

Another prominent player in the National Football League was charged with a violent crime Friday, capping an embarrassing week for the league that has faced unrelenting criticism of its handling of domestic violence cases.
Adrian Peterson, a standout running back for the Minnesota Vikings, was indicted Friday by a grand jury in Montgomery County, Texas, on charges of reckless or negligent injury to a child, and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
An unnamed official at the Montgomery County, Texas, jail told the Globe early Saturday that Peterson had been booked and released on $15,000 bond.
Peterson, one of the best running backs in the NFL, was deactivated by the Vikings for Sunday's game against the Patriots in Minneapolis. He has been at the top of the Patriots' scouting reports all week.
According to radio station KILT in Houston, which obtained the police report, Peterson acknowledged that he "whooped" his 4-year-old son while the child was visiting him in May. The station reported that when the child returned to Minnesota, his mother took him to a doctor, with the boy saying that Peterson had hit him with a tree branch.
The Peterson indictment comes at a sensitive, controversial time for the NFL.
The week began with running back Ray Rice being suspended indefinitely by the league — and released by the Baltimore Ravens — on Monday after a videotape showed him knocking his then-fiancée unconscious in an elevator at an Atlantic City casino.
The New York Times this week reported that there have been 85 arrests or citations involving NFL players and domestic violence since 2000.
Still another development emerged Friday affecting the reputation of the image-conscious NFL, this one involving concussions and brain injuries suffered by its players. The Times reported that the league acknowledged in court papers that it expects nearly a third of retired players to develop long-term cognitive problems.
The child injury case involving Peterson began unfolding Thursday, when he missed practice for what the Vikings was a "not injury-related" reason. He returned to practice Friday and was listed then as a full participant.
Peterson's lawyer, Rusty Hardin, released the following statement Friday:
"Adrian Peterson has been informed that he was indicted by a grand jury in Montgomery County, Texas for Injury to a Child. The charged conduct involves using a switch to spank his son. This indictment follows Adrian's full cooperation with authorities who have been looking into this matter.
"Adrian is a loving father who used his judgment as a parent to discipline his son. He used the same kind of discipline with his child that he experienced as a child growing up in east Texas."
Peterson has the most rushing touchdowns (86), most total touchdowns (91), and most yards from scrimmage (11,905) in the NFL since 2007. He holds the NFL record for single-game rushing yardage (296), and came within 9 yards of Eric Dickerson's single-season mark in 2012, when he ran for a career-best 2,097.
Meanwhile, the ramifications of the Rice case have continued. After mounting criticism this week, the NFL named former FBI director Robert Mueller to head up an inquiry of its handling of the accusation againstRice.
Rice was suspended and released this week only after a videotape surfaced of him striking his then-fiancée; prior to that, Rice was given only a two-game suspension by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, a punishment that was roundly criticized as being too light.
Rice would have been eligible to play for the Ravens now had it not been for the newly released videotape. Greg Hardy, a defensive end for the Carolina Panthers, was convicted in July of assaulting and threatening a former girlfriend, yet is still playing while the verdict is being appealed. Ray McDonald, a defensive tackle for the San Francisco 49ers, was arrested on Aug. 31 after an incident involving domestic abuse. He, too, remains in uniform.
After the negative reaction to Rice's initial two-game suspension, Goodell admitted he made a mistake, and announced a new league policy regarding domestic violence.

WEB 2.0 to the Rescue
You may have heard about WEB 2.0 but perhaps you thought it was some trendy new toy that would go by the wayside like lots of them do. Instead it represents a revolution in how the internet works. And to an internet retailer or merchant such as you and I, it represents a solution to one of the biggest problems we face in staying in touch with our customers and that is email deliverability problems.
The reason WEB 2.0 is going to come to the rescue in saving us from our email deliverability problems lies in how it basically changes the way people use and view the internet and internet communications in particular. Before WEB 2.0, if you wanted to communicate with your customers, you had to take the communication to them. Hence you put together an email that you sent out via a mass mailing or using a service and you hoped that you would hear back from some percentage of your customers about this most recent promotion.
To a large extent under that system, you never knew if the customer got your email or if they took advantage of what you have to offer because of the email you spent money to send out. But a bigger problem that has grown bigger and bigger with each passing year is that spam and spam filter software that is designed to protect individuals from the potentially dangerous effects of spam also have created a huge problem of email delivery verification for online merchants to contend with.
As long as the formula is that the merchant must take marketing to the customer, email delivery problems will be the bane of the internet merchant's existence. That is why WEB 2.0 is going to come to the rescue by changing the basic assumption of how we communicate to customers. With WEB 2.0, you no longer have to take marketing to the customer because the way the internet now works is customers come to you where you can interact and market to them dynamically on your web site where they might "hang out" for extended periods of time.
WEB 2.0 and how it works can be seen in some of the most explosive new internet services of the last five years including YouTube, MySpace and Wikipedia. These web sites are the first fruits of a redesign of the internet that makes cyberspace a place where the internet population create the content and how customers interact on your web site is as important or more important than what you put on the web site yourself.
WEB 2.0 has the potential to take email out of the marketing loop entirely. If you retrofit your web site to accommodate the interactive concepts you see used on Wikis, on YouTube and on MySpace, you can create an environment so driven by customers that it is an ideal environment for marketing, for customer communications and for sales. You can use this kind of online community setting to place your sales force in a cyber sales room to casually interact with customers and guide them to purchase decisions in a low key, no pressure way that is just what customers like in an online community.
One of the great innovations of the WEB 2.0 approach to web site design is that you can actually link videos or web site pages from other web sites and make them part of your own. Get familiar with the way modern web sites work and interact with your web development gurus so they can guide you in how to use WEB 2.0 methodologies to bring customers to your sales setting rather than having to go to them with email marketing campaigns. And when you have successfully made that transition, you may never have to worry about email deliverability issues again.

HSS Nurse Advisors – the Frontline in Continence Support
This year's World Continence Week is June 19-25. The theme, Incontinence: No laughing matter, tackles a common response by people to laugh off incontinence, accepting it as an inevitable part of childbirth or ageing, not a health issue requiring specialist treatment.
At HSS, we have Continence Nurse Advisors on the frontline of continence support in the community every day.
In a discussion we recently had with one of our Nurse Advisors, she explained the "no laughing matter" message was an important step towards encouraging people to treat incontinence seriously and seek help.
"The Continence Foundation's digital #leakface campaign highlights the after-effects of bladder leakage which can be more than inconvenient and embarrassing," our Nurse Advisor said.
"I treat people every day who are feeling the impacts of incontinence on their physical, social and psychological well-being.
"Even though it is an increasingly common problem, incontinence remains the elephant in the room with the majority of sufferers never seeking medical assistance or advice on management.
"There are so many options for the treatment and management of incontinence these days that it is completely unnecessary for you to suffer in silence."
HSS Continence Nurse Advisors are Registered Nurses with extensive training in continence care. They can assess your condition and work with you to develop a management plan to suit your needs.
"My role is to identify causes, create treatment plans and empower you to be involved in all aspects of your care from the comfort and privacy of your own home," our Nurse Advisor explained.
"We work with you discreetly providing uniquely personal care with the constant support of an expert clinical team.
"An important part of my role is to provide post hospital catheter education and management. A large part of my day is spent attending full continence assessments and education in relation to urinary and faecal incontinence issues.
"The biggest issue I see every day is that too many people are still too embarrassed to tell someone they no longer have control of a basic function they have been managing from a young age.
"It can be a tough step to take, but believe me the results of seeking help with your continence will be well worth it. Your treatment could well be life changing!"
"We are passionate about providing holistic and well managed care which supports you to remain independent and safe at home, and to live your life to the full," our Nurse Advisor said.
"HSS Nurses pride themselves on being experts in all facets of nursing care and are trained to identify your specific and varied individual health needs.
"You can rest assured that your HSS Continence Nurse Advisor will help you become confident in your continence management so you can get back out there doing the things you love in life!"
Complete, understanding, respectful care in the privacy of your own home.

A Berks woman finds herself back under the thumb of heroin, and in jail
The 20-year-old was formerly clean and helping other addicts recover.
Help reached 20-year-old heroin abuser Jillian Ingram on Monday afternoon, eight days after she was arrested for the first time.
A friend, Pat Erb, was ushered into the maze of stone walls and razor wire-topped fences of Riverside Correctional Facility in Philadelphia.
Erb passed through the security frisk and heavy, clanging doors. Ingram, clad in baggy orange garb and sneakers without laces, rose from her seat in the visitation room.
They hugged.
Ingram's shock at being incarcerated still appeared fresh.
"I'm a Boyertown girl," she said quietly. "I don't belong here."
Years earlier, Ingram, then 16, had helped Erb get through the grief of losing her grandson to a drug overdose.
Then, around the time she turned 19, Ingram had been hired into Reading Hospital's new "warm handoff" program. She was paid to meet face to face with drug abusers just saved from overdoses and attempt to steer them toward treatment, and people told her she was good at it.
Pennsylvania looking to fund assistance programs for opioid abusers
Ingram had survived a heroin overdose in her mid-teens.
She had persevered in recovery, graduated from Boyertown High School and been productive. She had loved the emergency room work.
In the jail, she described her time at the warm handoff program this way: "It was my world."
She lost the job in March.
And then she returned to heroin.
Ingram said that on Oct. 7, she had shot up not long before a police officer opened the door of her car parked on North Fifth Street in Philadelphia. She was arrested, along with a co-defendant.
A gun was found in the car.
There for her
Erb learned of Ingram's incarceration a few days later.
Despite their 44-year age difference, Erb, a grandmother of 10 who lives in Douglass Township, Montgomery County, had a strong bond with Ingram. She wanted to help.
But she had been involved in a crash years earlier on ice, and she avoids long-distance driving.
Last week, she rode to Philadelphia and went into the jail with a reporter for the Reading Eagle. The newspaper had featured Ingram in a front-page story in August 2017 about her work in the hospital program.
At the time she greeted Erb, Ingram had not spoken to an attorney. She had received no other visitors.
The court-appointed attorney listed in online judicial system documents did not return newspaper phone calls.
According to those documents, Ingram faces three charges: carrying firearms without a license, carrying firearms in public in Philadelphia and a charge related to carrying a loaded weapon in a vehicle.
The documents showed a co-defendant, Tyree D. Collier, 24, of Philadelphia, has the same charges.
A police spokesman wrote in an emailed statement that the department does not release police reports.
But, he wrote, Ingram "was arrested and charged with Violations of the Uniform Firearms Act and theft-receiving stolen property in connection with a vehicle investigation that occurred on the 5500 block of North 5th Street."
It was unclear why the theft charge was not listed in the online system.
Ingram said she did not know the gun was in the car until police found it.
She told Erb she wanted to get out of jail.
She was willing, she said, to go back to rehab and start over in recovery. She pointed out that she had done it before.
Erb vowed she would be at Ingram's preliminary hearing, scheduled for Monday at 8 a.m.
"I would never abandon her," Erb said later. "Because of her age, and because of what she has done for me."
Knows her best
The first person close to Ingram to learn of her arrest was her grandmother, Denise Campeggio.
She received a call at 3 a.m. Oct. 8 from Philadelphia police but learned very few details.
Campeggio, who lives in Douglass Township, did not talk to Ingram on the phone until Oct. 10.
Ingram, according to her grandmother, pleaded, "Get me out of here!"
Campeggio was in difficult spot.
She loved Ingram dearly. But, she knew she was a heroin addict in need of a path to recovery.
She thought: If I bail her out, she will go right back to drugs.
Ingram's parents had never consistently been a part of her life. Campeggio and her husband took legal custody of Ingram when she was 4.
A happy and compassionate child, Ingram went out of her way to look out for an autistic boy in first grade.
According to Campeggio, she also was fearless. Briefly, she was part of the boys football team in junior high school.
About that time, though, she got involved with drugs, according to Campeggio.
After her overdose and comeback, getting the job in the warm handoff program - whose employees are supplied by the nonprofit Treatment Access and Services Center Inc. in Reading - seemed like a great step.
Looking back, though, Campeggio wondered whether working around barely surviving addicts had made it more difficult for Ingram to stay away from drugs.
"You don't think that's a trigger, seeing someone sitting there, high, who has overdosed?" she said.
How it started
Ingram was fired on March 23.
On Monday, in the jail, Ingram said that is when things started spiraling down.
She said she had been promoted from part time to full time. She had also passed a drug test when one was given to her.
What cost her the job, Ingram said, was a lie she told about her work uniform.
A blue polo shirt was part of the required outfit. She said she told a supervisor she was wearing the shirt beneath a sweatshirt when she actually was wearing a different shirt.
Campeggio provided a termination document Ingram received, signed by Dan Milloy, executive director of Treatment Access.
It confirmed Ingram's description of the firing.
It read, "Please be advised that lying to your supervisor and exhibiting this type of unprofessional behavior will not be tolerated and has resulted in termination from employment."
In a phone interview Tuesday, Milloy said he could not discuss the circumstances of Ingram's employment or termination.
Asked whether someone who was in recovery as a teenager might be less secure in it than someone at 28, Milloy said a person's age was less important to their service in the program than their firm establishment in recovery from drug abuse.
"Recovery is a personal thing," he said. "It depends on what type of recovery program a person is working."
The program, he said, had helped thousands of people get into long-term treatment. Employees must have three years in recovery, be certified by the state and undergo special training.
When the Eagle published Ingram's story on its front page, Milloy said he kept a copy in his office.
Told that she was in difficult circumstances, Milloy said it was the first he had heard of it.
He called it tragic and heartbreaking.
Helping hands await
Jill Savory runs a Boyertown nonprofit, Safe Place, that helps people seek recovery from drug abuse.
Ingram volunteered there.
Savory said she has encountered many people younger than 23 who are in recovery.
"They are emotionally immature," she said of their attempts to beat addiction. "It may take them a few times. The hope is they don't die before they mature."
Savory was out of the area on a preplanned trip last week. When she learned of Ingram's arrest, her heart broke, she said.
She said she would be looking to help Ingram when she returned.
"I love her confidence, her intelligence, her quick wit, her soul, her heart," said Savory, who is 52 and in recovery herself. "And her intentions."

DESPITE his many political and philosophical detractors, Henry Kissinger is one of the few authoritative voices on China. Having served as a key US diplomat during a time when China was reinventing herself to what she is today, Kissinger has had a perspective few other analysts have today.
His views on China are not inconsistent with the China we see, in the ways in which it responds to global debates and tensions. One need only look at the way China votes at the United Nations Security Council to understand its posture on affairs of other nations.
In his book, On China, Kissinger is seemingly at pains to show that, unlike the US, China is not interested in exporting its values or owning culture and territories outside itself — that even though it may seek to be a leading civilisation, it does so not through an effort to export its values, but to sustain them even in what Kissinger himself calls the "new world order".
He recounts the China of old, reflecting that in official Chinese records, foreign envoys did not come to the imperial court to engage in negotiations or affairs of state: they came "to be transformed" by the emperor's civilising influence.
The emperor did not hold "summit meetings" with other heads of state; instead, audiences with him represented the "tender cherishing of men from afar", who brought tribute to recognise his overlordship. When the Chinese court deigned to send envoys abroad, they were not diplomats, but "heavenly envoys" from the Celestial Court.

Navigating the divorce process can be daunting. None of us ever expects that we'll have to go through it, so when we are faced with the prospect of divorce, many of us feel lost and unsure of where to begin.
In this mini-course, I will guide you through the broad strokes of what you need to know in order to confidently move forward - from the range of options you have to choose from in navigating the process to the resources I wished I'd known about when I was going through it.
Your Instructor
Kim West (JD, MBA) is a writer, speaker, coach, and the founder & CEO of When It's Knot Forever - a resource to assist and empower those approaching, going through, or coming out of the divorce process.
After working in both legal and business roles for companies like Fitbit and Zayo Group, Kim chose to leave the corporate world in 2017 to pursue what she feels is her mission in life -- to provide guidance and support to those navigating the divorce process.
Having gotten married and divorced in her 20s, despite having a legal background, Kim was astounded by how much she did not know going into her own divorce. She additionally discovered that there were very few tools and resources available, particularly to younger people navigating the process.
In response, Kim founded When It's Knot Forever as a way to address the many needs in this space. Kim writes a blog, offers one-on-one divorce coaching services nationwide, and is in the process of releasing a series of online courses and other downloadable content.
When she isn't assisting clients, Kim enjoys climbing, running, hiking, snowboarding, and mountain biking. She loves to travel, spend time with her dog (a puggle named Clover), and forge new connections.

Something I absolutely love to do is organize and make life simpler. Every once in awhile I go through our cupboards and closets to rid of the "stuff" we don't use. By rid I mean either throw away, donate, or give to someone I know who needs it. It really is a refreshing feeling! Also, knowing that Dan and I will be going to the Dominican in almost exactly a month, makes me want to live the simpler life. The last time we came back, I went through culture shock and felt really guilty about all we have. I look at our cupboards and see we have dishes to eat off of. I look at our tv and see all the movies we have sitting next to it. I look in our bedroom and see we have a queen-size bed to sleep on. Not that I plan on getting rid of those items when we return, I just want to make sure that we don't keep what we don't use.
So in efforts to get more organized, I made our very own Sterk Household Management Book. I had read about these before, and thought they were a little hokey, but then I started to realize that I'm sick of having papers in various places. For instance, we have a filing cabinet for all of our bills, needed papers, etc. we have another basket by our door to hold random papers that will be needed, bills that need to be paid, and stamps, labels, etc. I thought why not put them all in one place? So, I created this book. I bought clear paper protectors and also some pocketed folders. Then I created a sheet for each company that we get a bill from that lists the company name, telephone number, month, amount due, and when it was paid. Then I have separate page protectors for our bank statements and retirement funds. I also made spreadsheets for birthdays and anniversaries (so they are all on ONE page) and a list of favorite meals so that I can refer back to it when I get stuck in a rut. I also have a list of all the gift cards we have and how much is left on each, instead of having to look through each individual one to see how much is left, and to even just see WHAT we have. Another list contains the projects I want to start or am currently working on. Then in the folders I have all our name labels, stamps, phone directories, and other loose ends.
I tell ya, it was one of the best "organizing" projects I have done in a long time! If you are interested in starting one, let me know and I can just send you the word files that I created, instead of reinventing the wheel – and then you can change them how you want. It's nice to just go to this ONE book, instead of having to look through each file in the cabinet, look through the basket for our stamps, and I can also see from month to month what we spend on everything because each company sheet consists of 3 years worth of info.
Organizing is something I continue to learn about and find easier ways to simplify life. One key question I keep in mind whether or not I want to keep something is: "if we were to move today, would I want to pack it in a box, take it out again, and try to find a place for it?" That mentality has helped me tremendously! No, we do not plan on moving, but it is a helpful thought process.
If you ever try out the household management book, let me know what you think! It took me about an afternoon to put it all together, but the time spent was WELL worth it!
I am sure I will think of more ways or more ideas that I have to organize, but that is about the extent right now 🙂

Security agencies enter 'Tora Bora': A recent encounter in which four Jaish-e-Mohammed militants were killed in Budgam's Pakharpora area is being seen as the security forces' maiden entry into an area popularly known as 'Tora Bora' because of the heavy presence of foreign militants there, officials here said. The militants are often hiding in the area's deep forests, a maze not very different from the labyrinth of caves of Taliban-controlled Tora Bora in northern Afghanistan, they said. Four terrorists were killed in the first operation carried out by the The Special Operations Group of Jammu and Kashmir police and Army. Militants have been particularly active over the last year in Pakharpora, located strategically in the district of Budgam, for it leads into South Kashmir as well as Srinagar city.The Valley's 'Tora Bora' had figured prominently in many meetings of security agencies after the area, 45km from here, became the infiltration route for militants entering South Kashmir, the epicenter of unrest following the killing of Burhan Wani, the poster boy of the Hizbul Mujahideen militant group, July 8 last year. An official said the region has become the "reception area" for foreign militants who sneak into South Kashmir via Pakharpora. The dense forests and deep gorges in the region provide a natural cover to the militants.

Royal Shakespeare Company announces The Mischief Festival
Highlights include WeAreArrested, a 'tribute to the bravery of journalists under threat around the globe'.
The Royal Shakespeare Company is tackling "truth, corruption and freedom" in two new plays.
The Mischief Festival starts in May in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Highlights include WeAreArrested, the story of award-winning Turkish journalist Can Dundar, who was accused of revealing state secrets in reports on alleged government arms smuggling to Syria.
Dundar, former editor-in-chief of Turkey's opposition Cumhuriyet newspaper, was sentenced to more than five years in prison in 2016 for his reports.
He moved to Germany while Turkish authorities have issued warrants for his arrest.
The RSC said: "This deeply moving play is a tribute to the bravery of journalists under threat around the globe, exploring the true story of a journalist's commitment to expose the truth in the face of huge personal risks."
Another new play, Day Of The Living, is inspired by the unsolved case of Ayotzinapa, Mexico, in 2014 when 43 students were forcibly taken and disappeared.
The plays will be shown at The Other Place theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon, the Royal Shakespeare Company's home.

Our Students
The Joy School summer programs are open to all students with learning differences in the Greater Houston area.
The Joy School believes in building areas of weakness while celebrating areas of strength. Our summer Middle School model is designed so that students can pick and choose classes based on their individual needs.
Our Teachers
All academic based classes are taught by highly trained Joy School Learning Specialists. Our instructors' experience throughout the school year and their intensive training provide them with the tools required to meet a range of student needs.
Our teachers embrace and appreciate students who learn differently.
Admissions & Placement
Admissions decisions are based on our belief that we can provide meaningful instruction to address a child's particular needs.
This decision will be based on testing reports, parent descriptions and teacher recommendation forms submitted during the application process. Some students may be asked to participate in a brief interview session to ensure we fully understand their needs.
In general, students will be grouped based on a combination of factors, including chronological age, current developmental level and current school placement. Class sizes average eight students per teacher, depending on the needs of the students. All curriculum planning decisions will be based on the needs of the students within each group.
Getting Kids Excited About Summer School
This is a common question asked by parents! The name "The Joy School" embodies what we try to provide for all students every day: joy in learning. Yes, we work hard, and we have fun doing it!
Program participants and their parents have told us that attending summer programs at TJS doesn't feel like school. Some kids say they learn more during their short time at The Joy School than they do the entire year at their current school. We believe the difference is having teachers who embrace and appreciate students who learn differently and classmates who share similar needs.Students find acceptance, gain confidence and realize they are not alone when they work alongside others who also need extra support.

From John Quincy Adams to Thomas Boylston Adams, 29 March 1811
St: Petersburg 29 March 1811.
At length after an interval of five months and seven days, since that when your last preceding letter came to hand, I have this morning enjoyed the pleasure of receiving your's of 24. September—It is more than six months old; but as it is dated two months later than any letter that I had yet received from Quincy, it was as welcome and almost as grateful as if it had come with the speed of a Telegraphic despatch.
It was forwarded to me from London by Mr: Farley, who was taken on his passage to France in a vessel of Mr: Gray's, and carried into England; and like almost all the letters which have reached us from American, has travelled far by Sea and by Land before it could find me. It is still without a number, so that I am not certain but that it leaves others yet outstanding, between it, and its immediate predecessor hitherto received; which bears date the 7th: of May. As however it acknowledges at once the receipt of four letters from me dated from the beginning of February to the last of June, I infer that there is no intermediate letter from you, missing; and thereupon I recur again to the Rules, which I have laid down to myself for corresponding with you, and which I have already recommended for your use in return—1. To write at least once in the course of every Month. 2. Not to wait for the knowledge of an opportunity to send, but to have a letter always ready for the opportunity. 3. To return a separate answer to ever letter received.—By a steady and persevering practice upon these principles I am confident that we shall have the pleasure of hearing from each other more frequently & more recently than we have done hitherto.
I renew my cordial thanks to you for your careful attention to my private concerns, and for the information concerning them contained in your letter—I am glad that you have found it convenient, and warmly hope that it will prove as profitable as you expected to remove into the dwelling at the foot of Penn's Hill—As to the Repairs, being perfectly satisfied of your Discretion, and that you would incur no expence for them which would not be necessary for your comfort and that of your family, I subscribe in the most entire Confidence to all your arrangements, and shall be pleased in proportion as you make them suitable to your own wishes.
The first intimation which I received of your removal and of your purpose to take my two boys into your family was by a letter from your wife to mine which was brought by Mr. Jones and which was received in September—It was a plan perfectly agreeable to us; and concerning which I could not hesitate, on the supposition that it would be agreeable to Mrs. Cranch—I felt myself under such Obligations to her for the kindness and care which she had bestowed upon them in times of our absence on repeated occasions, that I could not think of removing them from her family, unless it were with her own cheerful consent and approbation—My wife's sentiments were precisely the same; and I wrote accordingly to my mother.—About a Month afterwards, I received your letter of 7. May mentioning more particularly your intentions; and have supposed untill now that the boys would be with you—I can now only say that I approve entirely of your plan, and shall be well satisfied to have you take them; but it must be on condition that Mrs. Cranch shall also be satisfied with the arrangement; and most especially that she shall be assured it is not from any abatement of our gratitude for her kindness, or of our persuasion that they would continue to have every parental affection paid to them under her care. I have in several of my late letters specified many particulars of their education, which I am very desirous should be attended to, and to which no person can so well attend as yourself—The use and management and necessary caution of fire-arms, and dangerous weapons, and the art of swimming in particular—Those are both things attended with so much danger that the very thought of my children's being exposed to them is painful—But it is in both respects a knowledge so useful and so necessary to preserve from dangers inevitable through life, that I wish to have my boys familiarized to them under the eye of one whose caution will be sharpened with all a father's anxiety.
The French Language, and the hand-writing are also objects of such high importance in my estimation that I must repeat the request that they may on no account be neglected. George had been so slow in learning to write, and in the course of two years had made so very little progress before we came away, that unless incessant attention be paid to him on this Article, I am afraid he will never write a good hand. As to the French, I am perhaps prejudiced a little in favour of it, from the particular advantages which I myself have derived from my own intimate knowledge of it; and which I am sensible have resulted rather from the special incidents of my life, than from any Circumstances generally applicable to the pursuits of Americans—I over-rate it perhaps, as I have sometimes thought my father over-rated the Law; because it has been so special a friend to myself—But so it is—What can we reason but from what we know? An American whose destiny will never lead him out of his Country may I know, get along very well through life, without French, but on the Continent of <
langua> Europe, it is so universally the language of business, as well as of elegance and taste that I am extremely desirous that my children should all possess it.
I hope you have before this paid he Bill for £300 Sterling, which more than a year since I drew, upon the Credit, which <
he> Mr: Gray had first furnished me on my leaving the United States—He has in the most obliging manner not only sent me the additional credit, which on my arrival here I had written to request of him, but gave orders to the Captains of all his Vessels which came here last year, to supply me any sum for which I should have occasion from the proceeds of their Cargoes—The very extent, and generosity of this Confidence operated as a warning to me not to abuse it, and I have now reason to hope, that I shall not be under the necessity of drawing upon it, at all—You may at least be assured that I shall not call upon you for any further contribution, and if on the receipt of this the Bill remains unpaid, I wish you to discharge it immediately, with my renewed thanks to Mr: Gray, for the accommodation which I have used, and for those which he has placed at my disposal, but for which I have had no necessary call.
I certainly approve of your expedient in placing even at private security the surplus of my funds in your hands, rather than insist upon a partial payment of principal on my note to my father, against his inclination—But by the receipt of this I trust you will be able to discharge the whole amount of the Note; and that he will be willing to receive it—You must yourself find out some way of investing it safely for him, which being upon the spot you can surely do with a little attention—But I must intreat you not to place any money of mine upon any private security whatsoever, so long at least as there is a Cent of debt of my own to pay—This injunction I wish you to consider as positive—And if my father and mother continue unwilling to receive the payment of my Notes to them, and you have a balance of mine in your hands, place it in the public funds and not upon private security. If I had not heretofore by a multiplied and dear experience learnt how worthless all private security is to a man separated from it by the Atlantic Ocean, I should have one indication of it in the shivers of Hilliard's credit, and his incapacity to furnish you so much as the fifty Copies of my own Lectures, which I had purchased, to give as presents to my friends; while he in his ruin was subsisting upon the fruit of my labours.
The only stipulation, or rather verbal agreement with Mr. T. Welsh junr: of which I have any recollection, upon the rebuilding of the House in Court Street was, that the Rent should be suspended for the time, while he would be obliged to take an office elsewhere, and that he should be suited in the new Building with an Office, instead of that which he held in the old one—and at least the same Rent. I accordingly stipulated with Messrs: Osgood and Whitney that he should be so accommodated—But I never understood that Mr: Welsh had a thought of asking for an offset of arrears; nor do I see with what propriety he could ask it—That he should not pay for an Apartment while he could not occupy it, was a reasonable condition—That he should have in the new Building, one instead of that which he gave up was also reasonable, and I took care to secure it for him—But if he had claimed an offset of arrears, merely for his consent that I should rebuild the house, I should rather have waited untill the expiration of his term—The trouble of moving and removing his Office-furniture and Books was all the sacrifice that I could desire him to make, and had he asked it I should readily gave paid the expence of that—But I did not and do not expect to pay him for his consent, merely because he might have withheld it. Let him have every fair and just accommodation; and if payment is inconvenient to him, indulge him with time—If you can give him the occasion to pay in the way of his business, I shall be satisfied; but he certainly never hinted to me the idea of an offset of arrears.
I will write from this place to Mr: Copley in London, requesting him to deliver the Portrait to the order of Mr: Boylston; so that whenever the non-intercourse shall again cease, he may have it by writing for it. But you must also procure from your father an order upon Mr: Copley to deliver it to my disposal, which I think he did once give me, but which I had not then the means of transmitting, and which I have not now at hand—This reminds me of the two Portraits, of my father and mother which that, I know not what to call him, Stewart has so shamefully kept, and which I wish you could get once more out of his hands, as you once rescued them from the Sheriff at Philadelphia.—Among some of my papers which I left with you, is the receipt for painting that of my mother—But I know not whether you can find it.—If you can I recommend to you to bring an action for it against Stewart, and make the Sheriff take it from him again.
My paper draws to a close; and as I mean to send this letter over land to Amsterdam, I am too stingy of postage to commence upon another Sheet—But I shall glean the materials for another letter, from your last, which is as fruitful of epistolary matter, as according to one of Shakespear's lovers, a request for a kiss is of conversation between a Lady and a Gentleman—We have here a new Winter just now setting in—I do not expect to have an opportunity to write you by direct conveyance for more than two Months to come.—The river Neva, at this moment would bear Atlas and his load.
All Well.

Then came the issue of coming up with horror pun names (and content) for holidays like HumanLight, (HumanFright? HumaimLight?) Festivus or any of the other holidays observed in December. In fact, it's became more and more obvious to me why people opt to just stick with "Happy Holidays."
So I just gave up and slapped together something involving clips from some Christmas-themed slasher movies I found on kennethjohnali's Youtube channel:
Those of you who don't get the joke should read this. And since that (reedited) clip from Silent Night, Deadly Night 2 so short, let's follow it up with more clips from the film:
And seeing as I already linked to some clips from that movie in July, here's some stuff from the original Silent Night, Deadly Night:

How to Attract More Visitors to Your Website by Giving Away Valuable Products
People have been known offline to make a big fuss about huge 'Giveaways' that turn out to be very disappointing for many customers because the item that was given was of poor quality or of very little value.
What about those of us who work online? What should we give away, and how can giving away valuable products help to attract more visitors and ultimately business to our website?
The most important thing to keep in mind is that whatever we give away, whether it's a free report, an e-book, e-course, teleseminar, etc. should be of good quality and value. Someone may reason that it does not make sense to give away a report which you could probably sell for $17 or even $27. On the surface it may not seem to be a good business decision, but it could be one of the best business decisions that you make.
For one thing, if you do not have a huge list to market to, selling a $17 or $27 report is not going to bring you much money. Another thing is that when your readers see the valuable content that you've given away, they will not only thank you, but they will more readily be attracted to any future products you may market to them.
In order to benefit from the valuable content that you give to your visitors, you must be able to capture their basic information, usually their name and e-mail address on an opt-in form on your blog, or an opt-in or squeeze page.
Many online marketers then send these persons to a download page link. What I've found that works better is to send them to an autoresponder message where you thank them for requesting the product and send the download link in that first e-mail. In this was you immediately start to build a relationship with your visitor and you would have verified that there are no errors in the e-mail address. You also want to assure your visitors that their information will not be shared with anyone else.
As more people subscribe and take advantage of your valuable free giveaway you will be building your list and will have more people to market to in the future.
