Obituary of Janeane M. Steinberg
Janeane was born on the family farm in St. Helena NE on September 28, 1935, (Mom would always say "the same year as Elvis Presley"), to Henry T. and Agnes C. (Betz) Schmidt.
She attended grade school at St. Mary's in St. Helena, and the 9th and 10th grades at St. Helena Public High School. Those were the highest grades offered at the time.
Prior to her 16th birthday, she moved to Yankton to begin her lifelong career as a nurse aide at Sacred Heart Hospital, where she remained until her retirement in September of 2000. Her favorite place to work was in the nursery, caring for the newborn babies.
On October 5, 1954 she married John Paul (Jack) Steinberg, in St. Helena, NE. They were blessed with seven children: Michael, Sheila, Sherill, Suzette, Sharon, Marty, and Sandra.
Janeane enjoyed getting together with her family, going to the grandchildren's activities, playing bingo with Jack, her Mom and brothers, bowling, spending time with her faithful companion Sparky, and tending to her yard. She was an avid Elvis, Johnny Cash, and Minnesota Twins fan. She was a longtime member of Sacred Heart Church.
Janeane is survived by her seven children: Michael (Barb) Steinberg, Sheila Steinberg, Sherill (Dean) Vennard, Suzette (Robert) Le Febvere, Sharon (Leonard) Haas, Marty (April) Steinberg and Sandra (Gregg) Cahoy, all of Yankton, SD; 15 grandchildren; 36 great grandchildren and sister-in-law, Analyn Schmidt.

Which brings us to the question - what do Mexican maize farmers do when maize prices are low? According to this CGD Working Paper by Oeindrula Dube, Omar Garcia-Ponce and Kevin Thom (all of New York University), maize farmers shift production to more lucrative marijuana cultivation when maize prices fall. The theoretical effect is explained as follows:
Maize price fluctuations will impact rural households in different ways depending on their production and labor supply choices. First and foremost, such changes directly impact households that initially produce and sell maize. These households must decide how much labor to allocate to crop cultivation, market labor, and leisure. Jointly with this time allocation problem, they must decide how much land and time to devote to each possible crop. A fall in the price of maize will tend to increase drug crop cultivation as the result of both a substitution and an income effect. It will provide agricultural households an incentive to substitute the production of other crops for the production of maize. At the same time, this will make households poorer, increasing their incentives to spend more time and effort on income-generating activities as the marginal value of wealth increases. As the price of maize falls, both forces will push maize-producing households in the direction of greater drug production.The effect of the maize price changes on marijuana and opium poppy cultivation is large:
And there are flow-on effects on cartel activity and violence as well:
Our estimates imply that the 59% fall in maize prices between 1990 and 2005 resulted in 8 percent more marijuana eradication and 5 percent more poppy eradication in municipios at the 90th percentile of the maize suitability distribution, as compared to municipios at the 10th percentile of this distribution.
The authors draw some interesting conclusions, particularly around the effects of free trade. In 1994, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) opened up the North American economies (Canada, the U.S., and Mexico) to free trade, lowering tariffs and leading to substantially lower maize prices for Mexican crop farmers. This in turn may have directly contributed to increases in marijuana cultivation in Mexico (Mexico is now one of the top three marijuana producting countries, alongside Morocco and Afghanistan - see here (PDF)).In addition, we estimate a negative relationship between maize prices and cartel presence, as well as killings perpetrated by these groups in connection with the drug war over 2007-2010.
One of the gains of freer trade is that it encourages countries to specialise in the production of goods and services where they have a comparative advantage, and leads to firms and workers shifting increasingly into export-oriented sectors. What's more export-oriented than the Mexican marijuana industry?

10 Best Cash Market Account Rates
It can be complicated to differentiate between money market accounts and regular savings account. However bond rates are already low, with 10-12 months Treasury Bonds yielding around 2{c8ab86843985dd17b7434995d904e58ee7ae990d0b00f935e62facf50064a750}. Corporate bond investors face extra danger, and variable-fee alternatives also exist, tied to shifting charges and inflation. But when you entrance-load the month or are unsure of your bills, it's best not to risk being locked out of your own cash. I acquired this message from Smarty Pig on December 2: Effective Friday, December 9, 2011, the rate of interest paid on SmartyPig savings accounts will be adjusted. Some banks supply each MMAs and MMFs, so it is very important ask concerning the variations earlier than depositing any money. And to be clear, withdrawals aren't just getting cash from an ATM, it additionally includes any rearranging of funds on-line that removes cash from an account. Money Market Funds will not be insured by the FDIC and aren't the identical thing as Money Market Accounts.
Whereas cash market accounts usually put extra restrictions on accessing your cash than savings accounts, cash market accounts often provide charges that are comparable with brief-time period CDs – without the time necessities that come with CDs. Clayton Bank and Trust is offering a brand new Prime-Based mostly Money Market Account with no minimal stability to open the account or earn the APY, which is presently 0.seventy five{c8ab86843985dd17b7434995d904e58ee7ae990d0b00f935e62facf50064a750}. Money market funds are a form of mutual fund that invests in cash market devices.
Day by day your money sits in a no-interest or low-curiosity checking account, you are missing out on important returns that will continue to earn you money when you find yourself doing nothing. Your money can be lumped into one account or unfold out over 20 accounts, and you'll make the identical quantity of total interest. Uncover Financial institution's Cash Market Account is without doubt one of the most handy MMA options, with free withdrawals at greater than 60,000 ATMs, test writing, debit card entry, and bill pay. Evaluate the best money market accounts and choose the one that gives the precise minimal deposit and interest rate on your financial scenario. Had to name their bank within the Mdwest instantly and they knowledgeable me no PODs are allowed on SMARTY PIG CDs because they don't seem to be considered common CD's but transaction accounts as a substitute. Now not should you keep a big amount of money in your no-curiosity or low-interest checking account.
Among the many 10 largest cash market funds, present yields as proven by vary from 0.88 per cent all the way down to zero.1 per cent. Inventory market investors confronted related peril as domestic investments weakened, before a worldwide downturn that finally impacted international funds in similar methods. Checking accounts are more about convenience than active financial savings, yet competitive variations enable some buyers to have their cake and eat it too. The Money Market Account is a financial savings account that earns curiosity primarily based on the efficiency of underlying variables within the cash market.
Not super spectacular, however savings accounts and one-year CDs are faring even worse with average rates of zero.08{c8ab86843985dd17b7434995d904e58ee7ae990d0b00f935e62facf50064a750} and zero.26{c8ab86843985dd17b7434995d904e58ee7ae990d0b00f935e62facf50064a750}, respectively. With Discover's Cash Market Account, you may access your funds by test, debit card, online or ATM (topic to certain monthly transaction limits1). Again in early 2009, there was about $72-billion invested in cash market funds.

Refuting NEI's FALSE CLAIMS, Exposing TRUTH...Nuclear Is Paid For With Our Taxes...STOP THE BAILOUT
Thursday, September 25, 2008
Refuting NEI's Latest Study on Tax Payer Support To Industry
As one example, hundreds of millions of dollars are being funnelled through the DOE to colleges willing to train new nuclear industry employees. Simply stated, we Americans are being forced to pay for the training costs of Nuclear Industry Employees. Secondly, the study fails to include the money so far spent on GNEP (Global Nuclear Energy Program), fails to mention the $1.5 Trillion in funding needed to deploy this UNTESTED technology that will not work.
Let's talk about the Price Anderson Act that precludes EVERY AMERICAN from getting insurance to cover lossed from a nuclear incident at any one of the 104 aging nuclear reactors in America. Let's talk about the billions dumped into trying to find and site a long term disposal facility in America...THINK YUCCA MOUNTAIN.
The nuclear industry wants to build 200 new Nuclear Reactors in America by the year 2050...first, it cannot be done. Secondly, the nuclear industry wants a ONE PERCENT LOAN GUARANTEE, stating that Wall Street will not invest in the industry without these loan guarantees. The average new reactor is expected to cost $10 Billion dollars! (Note-history shows us there is going to be at least a 70 percent cost over run on these costs, so real cost is closer to $17 Billion). Do the math, and the Nuclear Industry wants to put Americans on the hook in the form of LOAN GUARANTEES to the tune of $3.4 TRILLION DOLLARS, or almost five times the amount of the current Wall Street Bailout now under discussion in Washington, DC.
As Americans tired of funding corporate profits, it is time we demand the end to Nuclear Industry Bailouts, time to tell our elected officials that the days of subsidizing nuclear industry profits MUST COME TO AN END. At 50 years old, it is time for the nuclear industry to pay its own way, or GO OUT OF BUSINESS.

Jackson Browne on the Colbert Report disses Nuke Power!
Mother's Milk Project & Rock The Reactors at Green Faire, Oct 4th in Stamford
Hour Staff Writer
Thinking green is not just for Earth Day, so celebrations of the environmentally friendly movement shouldn't be limited to Earth Day either.
That's why Daphne Dixon of Conscious Decisions decided to organize the first Green Faire, a family-friendly event that will include more than 40 exhibitors, live music, children's activities and, according to Dixon, "an opportunity for people of Fairfield County to come together and learn how to live green and responsible lives."
The Green Faire will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 4, at Bartlett Arboretum and Gardens in Stamford. Admission is free and the event will go on rain or shine.
Several vendors and other interested parties, including U.S. House District 4 Green Party candidate Richard Duffee, attended a press conference promoting the event on Tuesday held at The Aquarium, a new environmental action and educational center on 10 Knight Street in Norwalk. The Aquarium also serves as Fairfield County campaign headquarters for the Green Party.
"The more of these types of events we have in the area, the better," Frank Grazynski of Earthplace said. "People need to not just talk the talk, but walk the walk."
Grazynski will represent both Earthplace and the Green Energy Task Force of Westport at the Green Faire.
"We'll be taking pledges from people to reduce their carbon footprint," he said.
Duffee will give a talk at the event and also be available to answer questions about the environment.
There will also be guided nature walks, seminars, demonstrations, children's book readings, blood pressure screenings, and live performances from Bridgeport-based band Caravan of Thieves. In addition, Conscious Decisions will announce the winners of the first Green Coast Awards, which honors green and responsible businesses in Fairfield County .
"It's an opportunity for people to talk to experts who are making a positive difference and improving communities, businesses, and the global environment," Dixon said.
The Green Faire also serves as a launch party of sorts for Conscious Decisions, a community education and outreach organization that stresses making responsible decisions.
Louisa Volpe, whose son Brian passed away due to a rare medical condition, will exhibit at the fair as a nutraceutical consultant. Volpe markets and sells nutritional supplements that do not include artificial sweeteners, preservatives or colors. She also sells environmentally safe cleaning products, as well as supplements for children and pets.
Other vendors at the press conference who have committed to participate in the Green Faire include: Bill Thomas of Norwalk-based www.alwaysbuildgreen.com; Rosie Haas of Natural Neighborhood; Dan Delventhal of www.mowgreen.us; Jeanine Behr Getz of Kids Think Big; Debbie Miron, an independent distributor of Shaklee environmentally friendly cleaning and health care products.
Thomas will discuss renewable energy and green building. He will also talk for the first time about new construction technology for which he has licensed rights that utilizes aluminum instead of wood for internal wall construction. The houses, one of which will be constructed in Fairfield County this year, are wireless, independent of fossil fuels and resistant to fire, hurricane, earthquake and insect damage. Construction costs, Thomas said, are comparable to traditional modes of building.
Among the products Haas will display for Norwalk-based Natural Neighborhood are Sigg bottles, reusable drinking bottles made of recycled aluminum. Delventhal will demonstrate the concept behind Mowgreen.us, a lawn service that utilizes manually powered mowers and old-fashioned rakes.
Getz will read from her new children's book about "simple ways that children can get green."
Gail Merrill, co-founder of www.mothersmilkproject.org, will be on hand to discuss her organization. She and her partner with the project, Nancy Burton, each lost their mothers to cancer. Merrill, a New Canaan resident, herself is a survivor of cancer. MothersMilkProject.org encourages mothers who live within a 50-mile radius of Indian Point nuclear power plant to donate a sample of their breast milk for a study. The milk will be screened confidentially for traces of the radioactive element strontium-90, which causes birth defects, bone cancer and leukemia and other types of cancer.
"So many people have died of cancer," she said. "This has to stop and the politicians won't help us."
The event will also include booths from environmental organizations such as Sierra Club and Connecticut Audubon Society.
Festivities will start with a blessing of the Earth by several spiritual leaders.

Indian Point Needlessly ALARMS Local Residents
Dear Chairman:
Today, as I have now learned, I was NEEDLESSLY scared out of my wits. At just after ten the emergency sirens went off here in Peekskill, New York. I assumed they were again testing the dismal, trouble plagued sirens for Indian Point. Shortly after that though, while watching CNN the program was interrupted with a ORANGE SCREEN and a message telling us that there was a warning for Westchester County as a result of problems at Indian Point.
This lead me to begin implementing my own emergency plans here at my home. I waited for additional information, and was eventually successful in getting through to the local police's non-emergency number to find out what was going on...I was informed that there was nothing wrong, that the system was simply being tested. In my eight plus years living in Peekskill I've NEVER SEEN THE EMERGENCY screen that came up on my TV.
I would like to have an explanation of THIS FALSE WARNING being released out into the public broadcast arena, thus needlessly panicking the general public for a brief period of time.

5 Things…I Learned At BlogHer 2011
BlogHer 2011 was an amazing and unforgettable experience. Aside from networking and meeting talented women of all shapes, colors and sizes, I also realized how truly blessed I am. Not many people are given a free ticket to attend a weekend conference. Not many people revel in the cool breeze and vibe of San Diego, California. Not many people have what it takes to make it in the hustle and bustle of BlogHer or the blogging/writing world, for that matter.
But I did and I can.
With that said, here are 5 things I learned at BlogHer 2011. Some funny, some endearing, and others funnier:
- Sister Act (Not The Movie): I shacked up with an amazing woman named Ana Lydia Monaco, who is not only savvy and professional, but also endearing, passionate and helpful. Other than a handful of telephone conversations and email exchanges, we had never met. You'd think I'd be nervous but my intuition told me otherwise. During our time together, she showed her generosity by picking me up from LAX, driving "the long way" to San Diego so I can see sites and even coaching me so I'd impress brands. When the weekend was up, I learned that there are great and supportive Latinas in this world. In this case, she resides in Los Angeles, California with her husband and her dog, Chatito. I've gained a new sister and cannot wait to rekindle our BlogHer roomie experience. It was truly love at first snore. And I'm not telling which of us has the worst morning breath and crusty morning eyes!
- I Am The Bomb: And I say that humbly. I did impress myself with my ability to speak to just about anyone. I am charming yet professional. And my outfits? Like the song goes, "You be killing 'em, girl." Yes. I shot them all! Aside from my fashion sense, I also realized that I underestimate my professionalism. I know I am intelligent, sassy, witty, communicative, engaging, genuine, gorgeous, and did I mention gorgeous? Yet, I often label myself as "unprofessional." This is why I've worked in the field of education and non-profits, working in organizations that lacked organization, stability and growth. I doubted my abilities and so I gravitated toward the easy, the less challenging. Not anymore. My experience at BlogHer 2011 taught me that I am indeed the bomb. I present myself well and am one of a kind. Plus, my outfits were really hot. KABLAOWEE!
- California Love: I've never loved west coast rap but, ever since my trip to San Diego, I do love the west coast. So much so that I am contemplating a move like wannabe actors who become waiters in hopes to audition so they can become real actors. But don't fret, my pets. I will not abandon my sassarific NYC attitude or writing style. Wherever I reside, I will always be Sujeiry. I'll just be really-tan-with-a-possible-Mexican-accent Sujeiry.
- Be Prepared: And I mean for anything! I was lucky to receive the advice of Ana Lydia regarding BlogHer and what I should bring to impress brands. She suggested a one-sheet in an envelope, where I also stuffed my minizines. This extra touch separated me from the pack. And that's a great thing as there are thousands of women promoting themselves and their blogs. Well, maybe not thousands. Some actually just attended for the swag and the beach and the pool. I saw you stealing extra dildos from the Eden Fantasy's booth!
- BlogHer 2012? Perhaps: The announcement was made that BlogHer 2012 will be held in NYC. That means I can save the costs of flight and hotel and just pay for the conference ticket (plus eat mami's Dominican meals), unless I am blessed with another sponsorship. Still, I wonder if I need to attend again. I learned so much already (as you can tell) but didn't feel the seminars were as informative as they could have been. For newbie bloggers, yes, the information was golden. For a vieja who's been writing and blogging since 2005, it was more gray. That comes to show that I know more that I give myself credit for. I am a veteran. So salute!
So yes, BlogHer 2011 was an incredible and eye-opening experience, more so on a personal level. This was the boost that I needed to abandon doubt. This was the turning point, the plot point that has led to a the big reveal. My path has been illuminated and I owe it all to BlogHer and all those who have supported me thus far.
I'm gonna be killing 'em, Pepitas.

I'm asked this sometimes, and variations of it, when a conversation with someone new gets round to what it is I do. It's a question that most of us are familiar with in various social and business settings. I'm drawing attention to it here following a recent article in the BACP's[1] monthly journal that focuses on how differently individual counsellors describe the work they do. Here are some of BACP's examples:
- 'helping people who are distressed or affected by experiences that have happened in the past';
- 'enabling people looking for change to discover what they want';
- 'I work with men, exploring thoughts, feelings and behaviour and what changes they want to make';
- '… like an ordinary conversation except that you go towards the pain rather than away from it';
- '… a chance to talk with someone about the things in our lives that don't make sense or that make us angry or sad or afraid';
- 'counselling helps people have a greater awareness about themselves and influences how they are in the world'.
These are all good, although quite different, descriptions of what counselling might involve. And while the examples are from six different counsellors (male and female), it is quite possible that any one counsellor might have given all six responses. In other words, they are not incompatible.
How would I answer the question? I usually start by explaining that I am now semi-retired and working part-time as a personal counsellor in both voluntary work and as a private practitioner. If pressed further, my follow-up might be that people come to counselling because they feel that something in their lives needs to change; I explore with them what might be driving this feeling and support them through any difficult or painful aspects of this.
But I'm also fascinated by the different responses I then receive. For some people this subject feels awkward because it feels too personal, or maybe touches something difficult in their own lives. In such cases the conversation quickly moves on to something else. Others are genuinely interested, or know someone who benefited from therapy or they have been in therapy themselves, and the conversation flows easily. Still others become wary because they worry that I am reading their mind (or trying to) – which is quite untrue by the way. And others find the subject perplexing, and I get questions like 'so what sort of people come to counselling' (to which I have previously responded 'take a look around the room we're in').
And finally there are cultural differences in how counselling is perceived. In some cultures it is viewed as alien. In others it is the most natural thing in the world for people to talk with a counsellor about difficult personal issues that they are facing. Fortunately we are getting closer to that in the UK, but we still have some way to go.

US stocks tumbled Tuesday after the closely watched 10-year Treasury yield climbed above 3% for the first time since 2014. Selling in mega-cap tech stocks also put pressure on major indexes.
The Dow Jones industrial average slid more than 2.18%, or 532 points, while the benchmark S&P 500 dropped as much as 1.45%. The comparatively tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 saw deeper weakness, falling more than 2.3% at its intraday low.
Perhaps the biggest overhang on investor sentiment on Tuesday was the 10-year's breach of 3%, which market experts had pinpointed as a worrisome threshold. The fear is that higher yields will dampen spending as consumers and companies allocate more to repaying debt. The 10-year is a benchmark for mortgage rates.
Stock investors in particular are keenly aware of where the 10-year is trading, as it helps inform the Federal Reserve's monetary-tightening schedule. Any sign the central bank will raise interest rates faster than expected is viewed as negative for equities since hikes will theoretically lessen the appeal of stocks.
Sure enough, the S&P 500 started falling from its daily highs just one minute after the 10-year broke 3%.
At the same time, weakness in many of the large tech stocks that have led the nine-year bull market also weighed on major gauges. At the center of the selling was Google's parent company, Alphabet, whose better-than-expected quarterly sales were overshadowed by rising expenses and a looming regulatory clampdown.
Alphabet declined as much as 5.2%. Other major losers in the tech sector include Micron (-4.5%), Facebook (-3.5%), and Adobe Systems (-2.7%).
Elsewhere in global equity markets, the Shanghai Composite climbed 2%, while the Stoxx Europe 600 was little changed. In the bond market, the 10-year US Treasury yield was unchanged at 2.98%, just below the 3% level it breached earlier in the day.
Here's a rundown of other asset classes:

Are you ready to stream more TV but aren't sure where to start? Streaming TV is an incredibly flexible way to watch on-demand shows, movies, sports and other content, but first you need to make sure your devices are ready. Fortunately, there is a multitude of different ways to stream content with our modern devices.
4 Ways to Stream TV
Here are some of the best and most popular options to stream TV to your home.
1. Streaming Via Boxes
Set-top boxes are a great way to stream TV shows and many other other types of content. Here you have a plethora of options, but it is generally best to get a set-top box that offers plenty of options for your situation. Sling TV by Dish, for example, allows you to stream ESPN without a cable subscription (although it will cost you around $20 per month). The Apple TV plays well with other Apple devices, mobile and otherwise, and is ideal for an Apple family.
If you prefer to stream content to your mobile devices directly from your set-top box, keep an eye out for boxes that can sling content to your tablet computer or phone without any hassle. Often those offered via cable bundles have such features. If you already have a game console like a PS4 or an Xbox One, look into the streaming TV options these devices offer instead of getting a separate device.
Remember also that streaming options are constantly evolving. Always watch for the latest generation and keep track of the features offered.
2. Streaming Via TV
The rise of the "smart TV" means that you may not need a set-top box at all for streaming content. If you have an HDTV, especially one manufactured in recent years, you probably have the option to access web streaming and similar features straight from the TV menu. Everyone from Samsung to Philips is working on creating more usable, friendly smart TV interfaces that make it easy to access all these new features and apps. Before you rush out and buy another device, consider simply replacing your TV with a more advanced version that can connect to your Internet. It could save a lot of time and an extra remote.
3. Stream TV with Sticks
As streaming devices have grown smaller and less expensive, streaming sticks have become one of the most popular streaming devices on the market. The Roku Streaming Stick and Google's Chromecast are two of the most popular options. These sticks are under $50 and can offer plenty of streaming options, despite the fact you can stick them in a USB or HDMI port behind your TV and happily hide them away from view. Then simply access channels, stream TV, pick out movies from Netflix or Amazon Instant Video, and much more.
4. Streaming TV Apps
Suppose you want to stream TV without the "TV" part of the deal. Maybe you aren't at home. Maybe the living room is a long way away. Maybe you want to watch something else, or load a show while you work. In this case, turn to your mobile devices and start downloading apps.
First there are the aggregators like Hulu and Netflix, which require service fees but also offer a broad number of shows and movies from many sources. These apps are available on pretty much every tablet computer and smartphone on the market, so compatibility should not be a problem. Next, look into network apps for the TV networks that carry your favorite shows. Some like CBS and HBO, are developing their own independent streaming apps. Others, like Fox and NBC, have their own free apps that update with their latest shows.
Bonus Tip! Top-Notch Streaming Quality
Streaming quality will often depend on the quality of your Internet connection. Too many devices on your network or too little bandwidth, and you can expect problems with streaming quality. On the other hand, if bandwidth isn't an issue, keep an eye out for the latest in streaming resolution options. Roku, Netflix and others are planning on adding 4K resolution to stream TV shows, giving you the next level of HD viewing.

How does DoorDash work?
Now that we have learned what is DoorDash, let's take a look at how does Doordash work as a business. The following four steps is all you need to know to learn how to use DoorDash if you are a user, driver or a merchant:
Step 1: Choose what to order
The users can browse through a wide range of options for their choice of food. The search can be filtered as per the need of the customer and selections can be made. They are also given the facility to favourite frequently selected restaurants to make it easy to order the next time.
Step 2: Making payment
The payment is made when the order is placed. In this process the restaurant and the delivery location has to be mentioned. The distance between the pickup and drop off points has always decided how much does DoorDash charge for delivery. Once the payment is made, the order is sent to the respective restaurants and the food is prepared.
Step 3: Track the order
The Dasher picks up the packaged food from the food joint and sets out for delivery. For the convenience of customers, the DoorDash mobile app has the feature to track the order. This feature was specially built in the application for user convenience.
Step 4: Delivery
The Dashers reach the drop off points and deliver the food. The DoorDash delivery fee has already been paid during the payment process but the users can tip the Dashers if they wish to. However, this completely depends on the customer.
Business Model Canvas: How does DoorDash work?
DoorDash revenue model
The revenue generation model for any business be it a startup or a well-established business should be quite strategic. This is where the cost of the business is paid by and the profit is generated. The DoorDash cost includes maintenance costs, sales cost, Dasher's salary and retention of its personnel, and not the forget the cost of investing in an on-demand app development company.
[Extra: Restaurant App Development: Benefits Of Online Food Ordering Services]
DoorDash earns from the following sources:
DoorDash serves the customers by delivering the food from restaurants to the customers. They have become a huge platform and when a restaurant is chosen by any DoorDash user, it earns 20% commission from the restaurants on each order.
Any restaurant that wishes to advertise themselves on the DoorDash app has to pay in order to be ranked in one of the top places. This is done to increase the visibility of the restaurants and earn more customers. For this placement, DoorDash charges.
Delivery fee
The delivery fee is another source of income for DoorDash. The amount is decided during the payment process depending on the distance from the pickup to the delivery point. Usually, the delivery fee ranges from $5 to $8.
DoorDash operates through an online website www.doordash.com and most of its networking is done via website. This website also can be used to order food and track delivery packages.
With the increase in demand for mobile applications, DoorDash decided to have a mobile application for iOS first and used an iPhone app development company for the same. Later, as the business grew they also got one for Android users. The application has all the necessary features from 'Search nearby restaurants' to 'How to use DoorDash app' guide. DoorDash has a Person to Person type of on demand delivery app development where one demands services from another person using the same app.

Dashers are the guys they use for the purpose of delivering in various areas of a city. DoorDash also delivers for large teams and groups through www.doordash.com/for-business.
The future of DoorDash
Currently, DoorDash is working to expand and add as many restaurants as possible. This will bring in more customers to the business and more opportunities for Dashers to work. The sooner the business expands, the quicker it's going to see success.
DoorDash is also trying to constantly improve their mobile application for user convenience and more opportunities. They are working on an app that has great performance and can store huge restaurant information without slowing down.
They have also come up with a rating feature that the customers will use to rate the entire order based on the delivery service quality and food quality. These ratings will be known as 'Delights' and each new customer can use this as a reference when ordering from that particular restaurant.
The cost of on demand delivery app development MVP ranges between $5000 to $30,000 which is said to be a reasonable price. But they are trying to reduce the DoorDash cost as much as possible by forming strategies and frameworks that suit the business the best. DoorDash is currently only focusing on food delivery and improving in that area

How corruption-crushing Georgia joined the global market
Dimitri Kumsishvili, deputy prime minister and minister of economy of Georgia, tells Sebastian Shehadi how the country transformed into an open and global economy that boasts a booming tourism industry and vast, but largely untapped, hydro-power resources.
Q: Why has Georgia been a success story over the past five years?
A: The most important has been Georgia's political vision and, of course, political stability. Georgia is a small country with a very open economy. To be in the global market, our aim is to increase the market that we have. We are only a population of 3.7 million, so if you want to reach the investors, if you want to increase production, manufacturing or services, you need a bigger market.
To have a bigger market you need free trade agreements. Today Georgia has a $2.3bn consumer market under the preferential trade regime – so it's $500m from the EU, plus Turkey is an additional $400m and $1.4bn from China.
Georgia has overseen economic reforms, which you need to do in your country to boost the economy – a lot of structural reforms to support the economic growth called the 'Four-pillar reform agenda'. This agenda is about education, infrastructure, economic reforms and upper governance. All the pillars complement each other on how to develop the country.
Q: What is the main economic challenge in Georgia?
A: Georgia is an associated member of the EU, and the EU helps us a lot in our reforms. We have challenges in our country, such as the current account deficit. In 2016, we finalised the 12% current account deficit, which was driven by FDI and covered by FDI, but still, this is a big number. In one year, we decreased the current account deficit by 5 percentage points. In 2017, we finalised the current account deficit to 8%. We had 11% FDI to GDP, which means we had fully covered our current account deficit and exceeded.
Q: What are the main tapped or untapped FDI opportunities?
A: In terms of sectors, the hospitality business is very interesting. I mentioned that we are only a population of 3.7 million and last year we hosted 7.6 million in international visitors, which is double our population size. Our energy sector is very interesting. We are the third country in the world by energy resources – hydro resources. We don't have gas, we don't have oil, but we have water. We only utilise 28% of the resources we have. So investment-wise, the hydro-power plants are very attractive in our country. The real estate is very interesting in that direction, as is retail and manufacturing.
Q: Georgia has fought corruption well and, in this sense, is a model for Eastern Europe. How did you do it?
A: We invested in technologies to deal with corruption and there has been a change in culture and mentality. Civil servants are very proud that there's no corruption.
Q: How would you describe your economic relationship with Russia?
A: Pragmatic. We don't have any political relations with Russia but our economic relations have become better and better. Russia is not a main source of foreign investment, but we have very good trade with them and the tourists increase daily.

From north to south, and from the Pacific to the Andes, this sliver of a country boasts a collection of distinct terroirs—and wines to match.
Faced by an array of Chilean wines in their neighborhood wine shop, most consumers base their buying decisions on price and grape variety. But a little learning will go a long way to steer you toward the best wines on the shelf. Knowing which of Chile's wine regions are best for certain varieties or styles will help you pick winners, time after time.
And when it comes to Chilean terroir, nobody knows more about where specific grapes grow best than Pedro Parra, Chile's pre-eminent expert in soil composition and the impact that climate has on the wines his country produces.
Nicknamed the "Terroir Hunter," Parra, who holds a Ph.D. in agronomy and wine-specific terroir from the Institut National Agronomique de Paris-Grignon, has conducted more than 20,000 soil studies, the majority in his native Chile. Parra holds that Chile is blessed with diverse terroirs that strongly influence the characters of its top wines.
Yet, these terroirs are not entirely unique to Chile, according to Parra. He suggests that some of Chile's best terroirs are similar to those in some of the world's most lauded wine regions.
"Take Chilean granite, and granite from Hermitage in France…the rocks are about the same age, same color and have the same fractures," says Parra. "But the [Syrahs] from Chile and the northern Rhône are very different. The climate is not the same, this is true, and there are other differences. But without an understanding of Hermitage granite, you might not understand how similar it is to Apalta in Colchagua."
Likewise, "Without knowing the soils and climate along California's Sonoma Coast, you wouldn't know that it's almost exactly like the Leyda Valley in Chile," says Parra.
Following are overviews of four of Chile's most prominent wine regions, including a look at each region's terroir and a dozen recommended wines that capture the country at its finest.

But will the pair's nuptials go to plan?
Dust off your hats! Coronation Street producer, Kate Oates, has revealed that Michelle Connor and Robert Preston's wedding is just weeks away.
"It will be fairly imminent, so look out for that around Spring time," she tells us.
And in the best traditions of soap weddings, it seems the loved-up pair's nuptials won't go to plan.
"It's a soap wedding, so it probably won't go without a hitch," adds Kate. 'It will be a dramatic do, but there'll be no fighting in fountains (referring to Eva and Aidan's wedding last Summer) – we've already done one of those!"
Robert (Tristan Gemmill) and Michelle (Kym Marsh) got engaged on Valentine's Day, when he popped the question at Weatherfield's 'Race for your Wife' event. The chef has already notched up two failed marriages – to Tracy (Kate Ford) and Joanie (Sarah Harding), while Michelle split from husband Steve (Simon Gregson) last year when he admitted fathering a child with Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson).
Michelle Connor and Robert Preston got together last year following her split from Steve
Meanwhile, Kate has also revealed the other top plots that she hopes will have fans glued to their seats as we head into Spring.
"Phelan's going to possibly be creating a little more havoc," she says. "The audience who have been waiting to see him get his commupance might be getting their wish.
Latest Stories
"We've got the big storyline with David's rape, and that dovetails into another story, which is a very important and big story that I won't say too much about. Hopefully viewers will understand why we've hooked up those stories.
"We've got some great drama in the factory – Carla's going to be sharpening her nails, so that's good fun – and we've got Michelle with her two sons, Ali and Ryan."
Coronation Street continues on ITV.

From George Washington to Nicholas Cooke, 1 March 1777
To Nicholas Cooke
Head quarters. Morris Town. 1st March 1777.
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your favour of the 18th Ulto by M. Green.1 As yet the Letter by you referred to, as explaining the Motives by which the General Assembly of your State were governed in ordering the Brigade to be raised for 15 Months, & the plan upon which they are inlisted, has not reached me.2 During the last Campain, the greatest part of the Army were at a considerable Continentl Expence well armed; from whence I had hopes that in arming our new one, no very great difficulty would obstruct Us—But in opposition to all my Orders & notwithstanding my utmost Vigilance, most of the Regiments going off at different times—from different Places, and under different Circumstances took off with them many that were put into their hands. These no doubt are still in possession of the Individuals who bore them away, and may, I should suppose, with little Expence & some activity in the Officers aided by the supreme Civil power in each State, be regained to the Public. Unless some such Step as this is adopted, & attended with Success, I fear we shall not be able to furnish a sufficient Number for our Soldiers—Satisfactory Answes to my repeated applications on this Subject have not yet been favoured me by Congress; So that I am still a Stranger to the resources they have—It therefore behoves each State to exert her most unwearied Activity in arming her quota before they March for the Field. Application is made to me by The Council of Massachusetts desiring that the 1800 Arms furnished to your State, by the Continental Agent at Boston may be delivered to their Troops ordered immediately to Tyconderoga.3 When I attend to your Situation & just Claim to a part, I can direct a return, but of 1200 of them; these you will be pleased to forward to them, with all Expedition. The important Post of Tyconderoga is weak, & I design to garrison it with the Troops (among others) of that State.
Our situation and prospect compell me in the most pressing manner to call your attention towards expediting the recruiting & equipping of Your Battalions—I beg that not a moments time may be lost in innoculating them; & that, when over the Disorder, they may be marched immediately to Peekskill & placed under the Care of Brigr McDougall.

1. Nathanael Greene's brother Jacob Greene visited GW's headquarters at Morristown in late February while en route to Baltimore to confer with the Continental Congress about money owed to Rhode Island (see Bartlett, R.I. Records description begins John Russell Bartlett, ed. Records of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, in New England. 10 vols. Providence, 1856–65. description ends , 8:211, and JCC description begins Worthington Chauncey Ford et al., eds. Journals of the Continental Congress, 1774-1789. 34 vols. Washington, D.C., 1904–37. description ends , 7:171).
2. GW is referring to Cooke's letter to him of 9 February.
3. GW apparently means the Massachusetts council's letter to him of 11 February. The Continental prize agent at Boston was John Bradford.

Although most people think of the traditional white, round gemstone when they hear the word "pearl," the truth is that pearls come in all shapes, sizes and colors. One of the most interesting pearls in recent decades is the so-called "rice krispy" freshwater pearl.
Freshwater cultivated pearls are the gorgeous child of the innovation of humans and the wonder of nature. Pearl farmers around the world, (practiced today primarily in China), began a nucleation process in which freshwater mussels are implanted with a bead, or a piece of shell, or some other irritant, resulting in the creation of a gem from the mussel's nacre.
Classic "rice krispy" pearls are referred to as such because in nature, the freshwater pearls were found in clusters in small, strange shapes within the freshwater mussels. These pearls gained this descriptive name because they were small, flat and wrinkled. Also, because they grew in clusters they were much cheaper than traditional pearls.
As the Chinese pearl farmers improved upon their practices, their pearls began to stray from the "rice krispy" shape and began to resemble traditional, natural pearls. These improvements resulted in China becoming the world's largest producer of freshwater pearls today.
Although Rice Krispy pearls declined in popularity due to being seen as a cheap, inferior product, these pearls still have their supporters. Pearl collectors are interested in rice krispy pieces because of their vintage quality, and the fact that their shape and texture make them unique. But regardless of your opinion of their beauty, the fact remains that rice krispy pearls serve as a reminder of how far the pearl industry has come in just a few short decades.

I don't think I have the patience to paint 2000 stills for a video, but that's why my name isn't Irina Dakeva. Irina directed the video and painted each watercolor until this amazing final product was revealed. The musical artist, BREAKBOT, is signed to Ed Banger Records who have signed artists such as Justice, Uffie, and Mr. Flash, so you know the music is good.
Photos of the still after the jump…
Art is not just something that is pretty to look at. Art inspires ideas. Art inspires people. Art creates a movement. Every great superpower builds the tallest structures to show of their gonads strength as a nation, but as history has shown us only a few of those structures have lasted throughout time. What really lasts forever is the ideas and the art of its thinkers.
Haas&Hahn, two Dutch artists have shown the power of art through their paintings that have popped up throughout the Brazilian slum villages. Not only are the vibrant paintings candy for each viewer; they also provide a sense of pride and hope to villagers who feel that they have none.

QuickBooks is a small business accounting program that can be used by accounting professionals to provide a huge range of services, but it is also created to accommodate small business owners and operators who have no additional training in accounting. In addition to granting these businessmen and businesswomen to do some of their own bookkeeping, the program can be used smoothly to develop reports and graphs that will assist managers to make more efficient business decisions of QuickBooks Customer support.
Most people associate accounting with taxes and assume that accounting records are used mainly in qualifying the annual tax return. There is no second guessing that tax records are important, but other business activities also depend upon accounting information. QuickBooks and other small business accounting programs can systemize all of the following business processes:
- Customer invoices must be made and collections from customer must be recorded.
- Budgets must be prepared.
- The company's cash balance must be managed, and bank reconciliations must be prepared
- Inventory levels must be managed.
- Financial reports must be printed and distributed to the parties in need of them.
- Financial data must be analyzed for identifying problem areas that need management's attention.
Bills from vendors must be prepared and paid.
Payrolls must be processed.
Traditional accounting textbooks teach students to use a manual accounting system which is designed of paper journals and ledgers, and in which debit and credit entries are physically entered into the accounts. This is known as double-entry accounting. Some accounting software programs do organize data entry similar way, and the user enters debit and credit entries into the computer instead of writing them down on paper. They mimic the manual system that is presented in the textbooks. QuickBooks can be used by accountants to make debit and credit entries into the accounting system, but debits and credits are not required when recording many types of business transactions. Instead, a forms-based approach is managed, in which the data entry screen looks just like a business document (a check, bill, bank deposit etc.) instead of an accounting journal. Non- accountants would not be able to record transactions in a journal, but anyone can fill out a check to record a payment or complete an invoice to bill a customer. Therefore, this approach is more "user friendly" for persons with lack of training in accounting, and it also allows the user to see what the final business form will look like when it is printed and delivered to a customer, vendor, or other party.

As much as I hate to admit it, I remember pinball games. No, not those for the iPad or iPhone, though they're great for what they are. Cheap fun. No, I remember real pinball games with real pinballs, real bumpers, and the penalty for a bit too much tilt.
Pinball is in the Mincey gene pool, but I'm afraid it won't get passed along to our children and their children. When was the last time you see a real red, white, and American blue pinball game? Here's a way to satisfy your bad boy urge to to become the next Pinball Wizard. It's a pinball game for the Mac appropriately entitled Pinball Arcade.
In a Mac game app you get options to use faithful recreations of pinball tables from yesteryear– Williams, Stern, Bally, Gottlieb– with flippers, bumpers, sounds and heart thumping action.
Here's a quick look.
The way Pinball Arcade works is simple enough. Just play. The Mac app comes with four great pinball tables to give you some variety, but other tables are available using the Mac App Store's in-app purchase option.
Of course, if you're anywhere near my age you'll find Pinball Arcade to be a blast from the past, but it's a 21st century game, too. How so? There are Pinball Arcade versions for iPhone, iPad, Android devices, Windows, Playstation, and Xbox.
Play the pinball game of your choice a few times, then check out the online Leaderboards to see what the next generation of players can do. Compared to those scores, I suck, and I know what it's like to play a real pinball machine with real balls.

Think about your room's purpose when decorating it. Consider the number of people that will use the room at once and just what they'll use it for. Your living room needs to accommodate your family and friends, while the rest of the house must reflect the needs and wants of your entire family.
Paint is something that you will want to invest in, so buy a high-quality brand to do the design job correctly. Cheap paint can harm your walls, and it also wears away fast, costing you much more money over time. Invest in a good paint brand and add longevity to your design lasts.

A valuable decorating tip is to avoid leaving large open wall space. This makes the room more interesting to look at and attractive.
Think about how many people living in your home when decorating.Will you just have a few people in your home or many? When you remember this fact, your home will look complete.
One important design tip to remember is to be consistent with the styles throughout your home. While you can always add an eclectic sense, by allowing one major design theme to dominate, you will create a feeling of cohesiveness in all rooms inside your house.

Happy Monday! I am hosting the challenge over at BBTB2 this week and instead of a specific cricut cut, I selected a color challenge to use green to celebrate the upcoming St. Patrick's Day. You still need to use a cricut cut on your project, but it does NOT have to be related to St. Patrick's Day at all. St. Patrick's Day is big here in KC, and Son#2 will be marching in a parade with his high school band. Knowing there will be some parade pics taken, I made a layout. I know the parade pics will be very colorful and busy, so I was trying to keep my layout relatively simple. I hope you will go over and see the design team projects at BBTB2 and link up one of your own this week!
