text: Important Updates & Changes NOTE: Yellow Ribbon guidelines have changed for 2018-19 Undergraduate and graduate students in College of Contemporary Liberal Studies (Humanities and Education) and the College of Computers & Information Sciences, as well as graduate students in the College of Business and Economics who are awarded 100% eligibility on their Post 9/11 GI Bill® benefit are eligible for the Regis University Yellow Ribbon Program. Once the student reaches his or her tuition cap of $23,671.94 the Yellow Ribbon program automatically kicks in. Regis pays an additional $1,500 per year to the student's tuition; the VA matches this amount totaling $3,000 toward the student's tuition and fees. If the Yellow Ribbon amount is exhausted, the student is responsible for all outstanding tuition and fees. Public Law 111-377 Public Law 111 – 377 changes the amount of tuition and fee charges that should be reported to the VA. For periods of enrollment beginning on or after August 1, 2011, all schools must report the following charges: The actual net cost for in-state tuition and fees assessed by the institution for the program of education after the application of any waiver of, or reduction in, tuition and fees; and any scholarship, or other Federal, State, institutional or employer-based aid or assistance (excluding loans and title IV funds) that is provided directly to the institution and specifically designated for the sole purpose of defraying tuition and fees. Aid or assistance that is not designated for the sole purpose of reducing a student's tuition and fee cost should be deducted from the net in-state charges reported to VA. Q: What does this mean to me as a student? A: If you receive College Opportunity Fund (COF) aid or if you receive Regis University's Online Tuition Allowance, allowing you to take an online course at the classroom rate, your account will be adjusted and Regis University will be deducting both of these out of the total amount of tuition that is certified to the VA. COF monies are not disbursed or assessed to any student's account until after the add/drop period of the 5 week 3 term. Due to this regulation and COF disbursement, ongoing amendments will not be made to certifications each term until two weeks after the add/drop date. You may see a credit balance on your account during the time frame we are waiting to amend certifications; however this credit balance will not be available to you because the funds will be returned to the VA.

Made-in-Montreal high-tech art will have some new international showcases this December. Three interactive installations created in collaboration with the Quartier des Spectacles Partnership will be part of the Holiday magic in three cities in Europe and North America.
After a stop in London in October, Impulse continues its European tour with stops in Brussels and Lugano. From November 25 to January 1, the Belgian capital will host the famous illuminated seesaws as part of the city's Plaisir d'hiver winter festival, where the installation will be one of the centrepieces of the popular event's program. This is the second time Brussels has featured works first presented in the Quartier des Spectacles: the city also hosted the immersive Iceberg by ATOMIC3 in the Place de la Monnaie in 2014.
Meanwhile, Lugano, Switzerland, has decided to make Impulsion a winter attraction for its new cultural centre, Lugano Arte e Cultura, one of the country's largest cultural institutions. The installation, created by Lateral Office and CS Design, was first presented in Montreal's Place des Festivals last winter. Lugano, Switzerland, residents can explore and play with it from December 3 to January 8.
Cergy-Pontoise, one of the regional centers of the Greater Paris area, will present the illuminated field of Entre les rangs, which delighted Montrealers three years ago. With its 28,000 flexible stems topped with reflectors, the work by KANVA is a luminous metaphor for a windswept wheat field. The installation will glitter in Grande Centre district of Cergy from December 10 to January 1, as part of the Lumières d'hiver event.
Also in December, Prismatica will be installed on Parliament Hill in Ottawa (December 7 to January 7) as part of the city's participation in the Christmas Lights Across Canada event. The same installation will also be a feature attraction on the banks of the Potomac River in Washington, D.C., on the occasion of the Georgetown GLOW exhibition of illuminated public art (December 1 to January 1). Created by RAW Design with ATOMIC3, the participatory installation features 50 multi-coloured prisms that will collectively form giant kaleidoscopes on their respective sites in the two national capitals. Prismatica was originally presented in the Quartier des Spectacles in the winter of 2014-15 as part of Luminothérapie.
In recent years, international audiences have enjoyed several works created for the Quartier des Spectacles, including 21 Balançoires/21 Swings and McLarena by Daily tous les jours, Trouve Bob by the Champagne Club Sandwich collective, and Iceberg by ATOMIC3 and Appareil Architecture. Numerous cities around the world have expressed interest in the digital public art created in the Quartier.
International interest in the Quartier des Spectacles is driven to a significant extent by Luminothérapie, Quebec's largest open competition for temporary installations. The event's mission is to create an original interactive winter experience for visitors and stimulate creativity in urban installations and digital public art.
This international recognition is also the result of the partnership's efforts to promote its artists, creations and expertise on the international scene. The partnership is opening more discussions with other cultural cities and is a member of major international networks, including the Connecting Cities Network, the Lighting Urban Community International (LUCI), and the Global Cultural Districts Network (GCDN), an association of cities committed to joining forces and pooling expertise in the management of cultural districts.
The Quartier des Spectacles is Montreal's cultural heart, boasting North America's most concentrated and diverse group of cultural venues as well as numerous festivals and events. The Quartier also hosts innovative urban installations involving cutting-edge lighting design and immersive environments. The Quartier des Spectacles has become an international showcase for digital public art.
The Quartier des Spectacles Partnership is a non-profit organization responsible for operating and programming the Quartier's lively public spaces, for illuminating the area through distinctive lighting design as well as for promoting this must-visit cultural destination. The partnership is a member of several international networks, including the Connecting Cities Network and Lighting Urban Community International as well as the Global Cultural Districts Network.

More Pennsylvania Information
All of this information was found in "Past and Present of Clinton, County, Pennsylvania".
" Prominent among the early settlers of the West Branch Valley was John Fleming. He was a descendant of the Earl of Wigton, a Scottish Nobleman. His ancestry can be traced back to the fourteenth century. In 1773 he secured possession of a large tract of land lying between the Susquehanna river, and the Bald Eagle creek, which is the land upon which the city of Lock Haven and Part of Flemington now stands. His territory was a part of Dr. Francis Allison Tract. After the death of John Fleming which occurred in 1777, his land consisting of over 1000 acres was divided among his five sons and three daughters, namely Joseph, John, David, Robert, Ezekiel, Mary, Elizabeth and Rosanna. John Fleming built a house on the bank of the Susquehanna, near the abutments of the dam, where he died in 1777. Several hearth stones of the chimney of this house were found by workmen in excavating for the erection of the abutments at the time the dam was built, nearly half a century later.
His son the Hon. John Fleming, who came to this section in 1773. was appointed to the associate judgeship of Lycoming county by Governor Mifflin, in 1798. He was a native of Chester County, Pa, and born near the London Cross Roads, He was married to Susan Chatham, a daughter of Col. Chatham who at one time owned a mill and large tract of land at Chathams Run. Mrs. Fleming was born in Dublin, Ireland, coming to this county when an infant she died in 1824. Hon. John Fleming had nine children, namely, General Robert Fleming, John Fleming, who was one of the first associate judges of Clinton County, Algernon Sydney, who was sheriff of the county, from 1866 to 1869, Exekiel, who went to Kentucky in 1833, William, who died at Alton, Illinois in 1846, Sarah, who Married Joseph Montgomery, Nancy who married David McCormich and Mary, who was the wife of Hon. Joseph Quay

P. 67, "However after the treaty one Presbyterian minister, the Rev. Francis Alison, pastor of the college of Philadelphia, applied for land above the mouth of Bald Eagle Creek and was granted some 1500 acres. Alison never came into the region and,in fact, sold his entire purchase to John Fleming in 1773." (The author cites 'History of Centre and Clinton Counties' by John Blair Linn, page 520.)

Robert had a brother John...Their combined holdings ran to almost 3,000 acres of which 1,250 was Robert's."
Page 82 John Fleming actually resided outside the Fair Play territory, on the Provincial or State side of the Susquehanna (he lived on the north or west side). He died in 1777.

Possible Royal Kinship
While Squire John Fleming is as far back as I have been able to get in our Fleming family tree, there is evidence that he descends from Scottish royalty. Here is a citation to make the argument:
From Linn's County History of Clinton, Pennsylvania
Prominent among the early settlers of the West Branch Valley was John Fleming, he was a descendant of the Earl of Wigton, a Scottish nobleman. The families descended from him still prize and use the earl's coat of arms. This very year (the year, John McCormick came to the neighborhood) he entered into the possession of the large track of land lying between the Susquehanna River and the Bald Eagle Creek, on which the city of Lockhaven now stands and part of the borough of Flemington, which he had purchased of the Rev. Dr. Francis Allison. After his demise which occurred in 1777, his land containing over 1600 acres was divided among his five sons and three daughters. John Mc Cormick, who had married his daughter Elizabeth, subsequently purchased the part that fell to her brother Joseph.That was the part commonly known as the "point" lying immediately west of the junction of the Susquehanna with the Bald Eagle.
The royal connections for the Earl of Wigton are well documented. The Earl of Wigton was descended from King James V of Scotland. If you climb his tree further you will find a daughter of the famous rebel Robert The Bruce who married James I of Scotland.
While this is a citation, it is far from complete. It indicates this lineage but we do not know what the exact family tree was and, therefore, still must look for proof.
This is not the only royal connection to the Flemings. The Bartlett family is said to descend from William the Conqueror. the first Norman King of England, pictured above. He lived from 1028 to 1090, about. While this is a very long time ago, it is not that far fetched. The Bartlett family had a chapel on their property in England within which was a bible recording the previous 300 years of baptisms, marriages and deaths. This would take us back from 1600 to 1300, and someone as famous as this would be remembered for that long.
Goodeth Gilman is said to be related to royals and Mary Stearns is said to descend from the last queen of Albania. I have listed these ladies in my lineage previously.
But, in all of these cases, we have to look much further for definitive proof.

Squire John Fleming
Pictured here is the current view from John Fleming's land on the Susquehanna River near Lock Haven Pennsylvania. As you will see from his will he owned quite a large tract of land. He and his wife Mary had eight children. His son David is the one from which I descend. One of his children, John, went on to become a judge. Flemington, Pennsylvania is named after him.
His will was written May 1, 1777. He died a few days later, May 6, 1777. It remains on file in the county records of Northumberland County located in Sunbury, Pennsylvania.
In the name of God Amen, I, John Fleming, of Bald Eagle township, in the county of Northumberland and the state of Pennsylvania, farmer, being sound in mind and memory, thanks be to Almighty God for his mercies. but at the same time knowing the uncertainty of this fleeting and transitory life, and do make and publish this my last will and testament in manner following, that is to say;
First: I recommend my soul to God that gave it, and my body I commit to the grave; I desire that after my decease, that my just debts be paid, and I give and bequeath until my well beloved son Robert Fleming the place whereon William Reed now lives of two hundred acres, and to my well beloved son Joseph Fleming two hundred acres at his choice, except the place I live on; and to my well beloved daughter Rosana Jameson, one hundred acres of land or one hundred pounds as soon as conscience will admit, and to my well beloved daughter Elizabeth Fleming one hundred acres of land or one hundred pounds in money aforesaid,
And to my well beloved son John Fleming two hundred acres of land, and to my well beloved daughter Mary Fleming one Hundred acres of land or one hundred pounds to be paid in manner aforesaid. and to my well beloved son Ezekiel Fleming two hundred acres of land and to my well beloved son David Fleming the place whereon I now live, and the stock to be divided in equality among them, that are of age, and the aforesaid land to them their heirs and assigns forever, and I do order and appoint my BROTHER Robert Fleming Executor, together with my sons Robert Fleming and Joseph Fleming Executors, of this my last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all former Wills by me made, and do declare this to be my last will and testament. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal, this first day of May 1777 John Fleming signed in presence of us, John McCormick, William Reed, John Fleming (Seal)
His will was probated on June 13, 1777. There was no mention of any provisions for his wife, Mary, so she is presumed to have deceased before this time.

Salem Witchcraft Trials 1692
One of the things that I was most surprised to learn was of our familial connection with the Salem Witchcraft Trials of 1692. This had never been mentioned by my mother as a possibility. However, once you trace your ancestry to families living in Massachusetts before 1700, pretty much anything is possible. There just were not that many people living in Massachusetts that early.
Once Gary Boyd Roberts had noticed the family name of Towne in our Fleming and Leland lines, he focused on this possibility.
There were three Towne sisters who were convicted of Witchcraft. They were all married: Sarah Towne Cloyse, Rebecca Towne Nurse and Mary Towne Estey(Esty). Mary and Rebecca were executed and Sarah was condemned but never executed. In referring to these three sisters, it should be noted that the state of Massachusetts paid the families a settlement less than twenty years after their death, for wrongful death. They were clearly the victims of some Puritan hysteria.
What Gary discovered for me is that Jacob Towne, brother to these three, was my 8th great grandfather. His father William Towne, father of the three, was my 9th great grandfather. This makes Mary, Rebecca and Sarah my eighth great grand aunts.
According to "The Towne Family" by Lois Payne Hoover,William Towne, son of John Towne and Elizabeth Clarke, was baptized March 18, 1598/99 at St. Nicholas Church, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England, and died before July 24, 1673 in Topsfield, Essex, Massachusetts. He married Joanna Blessing April 25, 1620, also at St. Nicholas Church. Joanna had been baptized June 22, 1595 at Holy Trinity Church, Caister-on-Sea, Norfolk, England. Her parents were John Blessing and Jone. Joanna died before January 17, 1682/3, in Topsfield. Neither William nor Joanna lived to see their daughters accused of witchcraft. Much of this research was attributed to the Parish Register of St. Nicholas Church. This register also confirms the baptisms of the first six Towne children and the burial of child Susan.
There is a Towne Family Association that has verified these facts over the years. The Towne family is now holding an annual family reunion. Next year, 2012, they will meet for a tour of the various locations in England where the family lived.
On September 26, 1635, William and Joanna were cited for failing to appear for communion at St. Nicholas Church, and were labeled "Separatists, William and Joanna Towne, his wife" according to the Norwich Consistory & Archdeaconry Visitation Records. The term Separatists meant that they were no longer attending church but did not mean they had left England.
William Towne is first seen in Massachusetts records in 1640 when he was granted ten acres of land in the Northfields area of Salem.
Here by generation is the Towne family in relation to me:
My ninth great grandparents: William Towne = Joanna Blessing
My eighth great grandparents: Jacob Towne = Catherine Symonds
My seventh great grandparents: John Towne = Mary Smith
My sixth great grandparents: Isaac Towne = Susannah Haven
My fifth great grandparents: John Haven = Susanna Towne
My fourth great grandparents: Lois Haven = Solomon Leland
My third great grandparents: Silas Leland = Lucina Bartlett
My Second great grandparents: Robert King Fleming = Lucina Leland
My great grandparents: Thomas H B Fleming = Ellen Giblin
My grandparents: John Leland Fleming = Margaret Finnegan

Lets go back from Robert King Fleming. His parents were David Fleming and Eleanor King. Both fathers of this couple would be recognized for their contributions to the Revolutionary War.
David Fleming was the son of John and Mary Fleming. Mary's maiden name has been applied as McQueen, Sullivan and other names in various sources. We don't know definitively what her name was. John and Mary lived in Bald Eagle Township, Waterford County, Pennsylvania. During the early part of the year of 1777, John was elected to represent Bald Eagle Township on the county Safety Committee. This was the first election held under the democracy framed by the early patriots in Pennsylvania. For this patriotic service he was recognized by the Daughters of the American Revolution. Eleanor's father, Robert King, who came to this country when he was six years old from Donegal, Ireland, served as a Captain in the Continental Army. He was wounded and later received a pension.
John Fleming is as far as I have been able to go on this line and feel certain we have the right ancestor. I am sending off for his will which should still be on file in Waterford County. Hopefully it will shed some light on where he came from.
The Bartlett Family
Here is a list of the Bartlett line before it joins the Fleming family and where the signer of the Declaration of Independence fits into it.
Richard Bartlett III and Hannah Emery had two sons of interest to us, Stephen and Richard IV.
Stephen Bartlett was the father of Josiah Bartlett, pictured left, who signed the Declaration of Independence. Josiah was elected the first chief executive of New Hampshire. Later the title was changed to Governor. His portrait hangs in the New Hampshire state capitol building. His home in Kingston, New Hampshire is a national historic site. His statue is in the town square of his place of birth, Amesbury Massachusetts. Bartlett, New Hampshire was named in his honor. He was a medical doctor by profession. He also was on the committee that drafted the Articles of Confederation, the forerunner to the Constitution. He was also Chief Justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court.
The other son of interest to us is Richard Bartlett IV, our direct ancestor and a first cousin of Josiah. The technical relationship between myself and Josiah is that I am his first cousin, seven times removed.
Richard Bartlett III and Hannah Emery were married on November 18, 1673. Their son Richard IV was born on October 20, 1676. Their son Stephen was born on April 21, 1690. Stephen married Hannah Webster on December 18, 1712, and their son Josiah was born on November 21, 1729.
Richard Bartlett IV married Margaret Woodman April 12, 1699. Their daughter Elizabeth Bartlett would marry Seth Chase.
(Note: The Bartlett family tree was very confusing to me for two reasons. First, there are quite a few Richard Bartletts, and second there was quite a bit of marriage involving first cousins. Our ancestor, Lucina Bartlett actually has Bartletts on both sides of her family tree. So, I am basing this information on notes written out for me by Gary Boyd Roberts who sorted through this. Gary based his notes on the book "The Descendants of Joseph Bartlett" and others. To ensure that I understood this, I photocopied many of the pages of books that were applicable.)
Elizabeth and Seth Chase would have a daughter, Rebecca Chase. Rebecca married, Gary believes, a cousin, John Bartlett. These were the parents of Lucina Bartlett who married Silas Leland. Their daughter Lucina would marry Robert King Fleming. For the Flemings I have previously shown the lines of descent.
Finding Our Signer
Almost all Americans named Leland trace their heritage back to Henry Leland who was born in England about 1625. He was a founding father of Sherborn, Massachusetts.
Henry and his wife Margaret (Badcock)had five children.
Henry's son Ebenezer, born January 2, 1657/8 would be our Fleming ancestor. Other sons were two boys names Hopestill. One died in infancy and his brother was given the same upon his birth two years later. Eleazer was their fourth son and Experience was their only daughter.
Next in line would be Ebenezer's son with Deborah Brazier, James Leland, who was born September 20, 1687. Deborah and Ebenezer had four children before Deborah died in her thirties. Ebenezer married a second time to Patience Rice having five more children with her. James, working as a farmer and Captain would marry Hannah Learned and their son Moses continues the line toward the Flemings.
Moses Leland was born in 1716 in Massachusetts. The family lived in various places which included Sherburne, Grafton and Sutton primarily. Moses married Abigail Robbins and they had nine children. Moses supported his family as a farmer.
Solomon Leland was the son of Moses and Abigail. He was born in 1742, lived in Sutton and was a farmer, church deacon and State Representative. Before he died in 1808 he would marry Lois Haven and they would have eight children.
It is at this point that the Leland family is about to accept into their ranks a relative of Josiah Bartlett, first Governor of New Hampshire and a Signer of the Declaration of Independence. Silas Leland was the sixth of the eight children of Solomon and Abigail. He would marry Lucina Bartlett. This couple would be the ones to leave Massachusetts for the midwest, living in both Wisconsin and Illinois. Silas worked as a blacksmith and "machinist" in New Diggings, Wisconsin near Hazel Green. At the time there was a lead rush in the area they settled. I believe that Silas used the plentiful supply to make metal parts for wagons and other equipment. Silas and Lucina would have five children: Candace, Lucina, Silas, Larinda and William H. Their daughter, Lucina Leland, born in 1808 would marry Robert King Fleming.
Robert and Lucina would have 6 children and would be the first of this line of ancestors to move to the Saint Louis area. Their youngest son was named after a family friend, Thomas Hart Benton Fleming would work as a printer and reporter in Saint Louis. He would marry Ellen Giblin and they would have six children, the second of which was my grandfather, John Leland Fleming born in 1875.
Here is a graph
Henry Leland = Margaret Badcock
Ebenezer Leland = Deborah Brazier
James Leland = Hannah Learned
Moses Leland = Abigail Robbins
Solomon Leland = Lois Haven
Silas Leland = Lucina Bartlett
(1781-died after 1850)
Lucina Leland = Robert King Fleming
(1808-1878) (1801-1874)
Thomas Hart Benton Fleming = Ellen Giblin
(1840-1923) (1853-1920)
John Leland Fleming = Margaret Finnegan
(1875-1919) (1880-1969)
This gets our line the families of the women who married into both the Fleming and Leland families, but it does not get us back to our Signer. So, in the next article, I will close in on Lucina Bartlett and her forebears.
My Week in Boston
As I began to do amateur genealogy work, I searched records online and found nothing to lead me to any signer. I had picked off all the easy stuff and had hit brick walls beyond that. In the summer of 2011 Nancy and I decided that I should go for some additional training to better help me gather more deeply hidden information. The New England Historical and Genealogical Association was offering a class "Come Home to New England" at their Headquarters in Boston. We debated the expense of the trip, cost of a hotel in downtown Boston for a week, plane fare and so forth. I am forever grateful that Nancy thought it was important enough to spend a considerable amount on this effort.
I attended the training last week and am committing what I learned with these postings. Our 20 or so students had a world class library at our disposal and a team of expert professional genealogists with whom to consult. We started each morning with a one hour lecture on a topic related to research. We spent very little time working on internet sources although I did pick up a few new places to look online. After our opening lecture with questions and answers following, we would move from the classroom to the library. NEHGS has a six story building. The first floor is a high ceiling rotunda, the second floor is their classroom area. The third floor houses their administrative offices while the fourth has their extensive microfilm collection. The fifth and sixth floors are their extensive libraries. These contain many family genealogies done by professional genealogists over the years and manuscripts, rare books and a variety of other books with historical references of all manner.
All of us had brought our own genealogy projects to work on so we would begin to do research. We would also be assigned a consultation with a professional genealogist of our choosing. There were ten available to us and we were given each of their specialties in advance. Inevitably these consultations would deepen our understanding of possible sources. In some cases they debunked the work that students had done before the class. Luckily in my case they did not find any problems with my work in advance.
We had one other invaluable resource at our disposal. The first morning, Gary Boyd Roberts, announced that he wanted to work with each one of us for at least two hours during the week. In order to accomplish this, he was going to be keeping the library open until 11:00PM every night. Gary is the author of several books on genealogy "Notable Kin", "The Ancestry of U.S, Presidents" and others. He was born in Texas, educated at Yale and has spent his working life pretty much at NEHGS. Gary's generosity with his time was the key to the discoveries I would make during this week.
So thats the background, now on to our Fleming family kin.

I love fishing during the week cause the people hatch is pretty minimal. i gave ali a choice between school or fishing and as i knew she would she chose fishing. the weather needs to hurry and and cold so that all the damn algae will die off. the river is still full of it so it makes fishing kind of tough. i still moved a decent amount of fish but only mustered to hook up with two. one of which i let ali fight and land.

Uintas....Changing of the Seasons
Took a solo trip in the uintas today. i was disappointed to see that the lake was still full. this is to fall seasons in a row that the lake has remained full. prior to last year, at this time the lake was always down considerably, with about 20-30 feet of shoreline all the way around. it has always fished much better for me when the water is lower. today, as i feared was a slow day but on the bright side my first fish was an absolute football. me and the wife have pulled a couple of bigger fish out of here but this was the thickest one i've seen. 15-16 inches and girthy as all get out. the pics don't do it justice cause trying to take solo pics i have to hold it with one hand which requires some belly squeazing and these brookies have soft bellies. trust me when i say it looked just like a football. of course starting off with the hog of the day leaves everything less then stellar. the other fish were all pretty typical for that body of water which is just fine with me.

A Late Afternoon Day
Went out with jake for a few hours after i played taxi for a bit. didn't get on the water till about 1ish and the fishing was definately sub-par. i think the fish are in a transition period with the water temps cooling down. i threw streamers and jake threw dries and i was out fished 4-1 or something like that. on a positive note, colors are starting to change signifying that fall is coming.

You surely have heard the cliché that you need to spend money to make money, but is that really true?
Sure, there are times where you may have to spend a little bit of money, but overall, the less you spend, the higher your profits can be. Providing you don't sacrifice quality or skip out on buying something you need to keep your business going, spending less can actually be a way to make more.
The following are just a few advanced tips that can help you make more money online. By following these tips for spending less, you have a good chance of maximizing profits and giving your bottom line a big boost.
Consider not buying ads
You probably know that there are a lot of ways that you can market your website outside of traditional ads, and one such method is affiliate programs. While you will pay your affiliates, you are only paying them a commission for something that has been sold or a service that has been signed up for. With ads, you pay for each click or you pay just to have the ad up, even if it doesn't lead to any income.
By only paying for results, you are only putting out money for what works. Sure, using an affiliate program could lead to you paying out more, but that is only because you brought in a certain amount. With ads you could be paying the same amount or more for no increase in subscriptions or sales.
You could also utilize free marketing techniques. Rocking social media sites, planting free guest blog posts and other marketing methods let you advertise your site at no cost to you.
Do it yourself
Doing your own social media, copywriting, search engine optimization, and other service can be time consuming. Doing these things on your own can also be much cheaper.
Doing these things and learning about them can take time, but they will put your balance sheet more into the black. If you already pay someone to do these things, start taking them on yourself one at a time so as not to get overwhelmed.
Sometimes, however, it pays to have an expert do these things for you. Weigh the costs and see which things you can do on your own and functions need a professional. Remember, you don't want to diminish the quality of your site.
Comparison shop
There are plenty of things you can save money on. From your internet service to your hosting plan, there is a chance that you could find someone who is cheaper and provides the same level of service. Shop around not only for the best deal dollar for dollar, find the best total value.
Also make sure that you aren't paying for too much. If your site gets relatively low traffic, you may be paying too much for dedicated server hosting. If you rarely update your site at home, you may not need the top of the line internet service.
Future proof your equipment
Future proofing your computer and equipment is making sure that you have items that have great longevity and can be expanded so that they can last longer. When you buy new computers or peripherals, look for more memory and better processors with lots of room for expansion. Adding more memory is much cheaper than buying a whole new system in three years.
Not everything can be future proofed, but avoiding new (and possibly trendy) technology can help. It can be fun to jump on the next big thing, but you don't want to end up investing in something that can be a fad. Being prudent with your technology purchases can help to bring you more profits from your online enterprise.

Mobile Phones
We started manufacturing of mobile phones through our Wholly Owned Subsidiary, PEPL, commercial production of which started in January 2016.
We manufacture feature phones and smart phones (2G, 3G, 4G/LTE, VoLTE and CDMA).
Mobile phone manufacturing requires controlled environment and testing mobile devices requires special equipment and methodology. The key raw materials and components used in manufacture of mobile phones include touch panel, LCD, PCBAs, FPCs and front and back housing. We currently do not have designing capabilities in the mobile phones vertical.
As per the Frost & Sullivan Report, volume and value wise demand for smart phones is rising at the rate of 27.1% and 28.2% respectively between FY 16 to FY 21. Buoyed by the rising demand, Government is taking keen interest to push for increasing domestic value addition by making imports costlier. This has pushed OEMs to make investments in local manufacturing capabilities, thus accelerating domestic production seen in recent years. Global players are expected to dominate the high price segment while domestic players are expected to dominate the low to mid segment of the mobile phones market. (Source: Frost & Sullivan Report)
Our strategy in the mobile phones vertical is deepening of relationships with existing key customers, migration towards PCB level assembly as a first step and backward integration for mobile phone chargers.

The crystal clear water around the Huatulco Port makes for some spectacular snorkeling opportunities. Some of the most popular locations include the bay at San Augustin, the beach at La Entrega and Cacaluta Island. All 3 of these sites are protected from the current, although divers do have to exercise some caution at Cacaluta Island on occasion. The abundance of sea turtles usually more than makes up for the concern, however. Big coral formations make the snorkeling adventure as breathtakingly beautiful as it is fun. Depths range from one to 30 meters, so snorkelers of all skill levels can enjoy their day.

I am trying to achieve real-time transcoding of mkv / H264 videos on a low-end (slow CPU) platform.
Using the following command line as a testing harness:
avconv -i test.mkv -c:v mjpeg -q:v 3 -c:a libmp3lame -f (codec) -y /dev/null
I get the following results: 37fps using the
rawvideo codec, 21fps using the
mpeg4 codec.
So I am searching for an "intermediary" codec, which would provide faster compression. I do not need too much of a compression ratio, since resulting data will not be stored, but directly streamed by an UPnP server (but, obviously, not saturating my network with raw video is desirable).
Any advice?

How to Cook up a Storm With Rheumatoid Arthritis
Learn how one woman single-handedly took on RA—and four other types of arthritis—and created culinary art.
When Melinda Winner heads for the kitchen, miracles happen. Despite having five types of arthritis—including rheumatoid arthritis (RA)—and limited use of her right arm, she is an accomplished cook who has devised creative ways for people with arthritis to succeed in the kitchen. Last year, she published her secrets in a book, A Complete Illustrated Guide to Cooking with Arthritis. "You can cook with arthritis," she says. "You just have to learn new techniques."
Educating Melinda
Melinda started learning early. Her first creation was a peanut butter-and-jelly sandwich. She was just 10 at the time, and instead of just slapping a couple of pieces of bread together, she cut off the crusts and configured each sandwich into the shape of a pinwheel, which she topped with powdered sugar. "My parents had friends over that day," she says, "and everyone raved."
As the youngest of 10 children, Melinda loved being the center of attention. Her skill in the kitchen helped her shine. "I began by making food look beautiful—from basic hamburgers piled high with lettuce and tomatoes to breakfast plates with toast cut into triangles and garnished with citrus slices and parsley."
She soon realized that she wasn't cooking just to get attention. "I truly loved it," says Melinda, now a 48-year-old single mother of three and grandmother of five, who lives in Zephyrhills, FL.
The truly amazing thing about Melinda's cooking is that she prepares all her food single-handedly—literally. "A birth injury to my shoulder and arm caused irreparable nerve damage," she explains. "I am unable to extend my right arm, or to lift it any higher than my waist. It's also several inches shorter than my left arm."
When she was a child, other kids often taunted Melinda. But cooking was her refuge. "Escaping into the culinary world," she says, "allowed me some peace and tranquility."
Arthritis warning signs
When she was 8, Melinda started having unusual aches and pains. "My legs began hurting," she recalls. "My mother and the doctors thought I had growing pains. When my neck started to hurt, they assumed it was because my arms were uneven. When my knees began to swell, they said it was from playing too hard." The pain was so bad that Melinda's parents had to take her to the hospital more than 20 times.
Undaunted, Melinda continued her education. "Supermarkets, farm stands and bakeries were my favorite places," she says. She also did research on food and cooking at the library. But mostly, she modeled herself after her mother, Dorothy, whom she calls the world's finest cook. "She taught me things, like the fact that the perfect cooking time for a cupcake is 22 minutes. And that most soups taste better with tomato added, even if you don't love tomatoes."

All You Need to Know About Responsible Gaming
If you enjoy Online Gambling then there are a few basis rules that you may want to follow so that you can do responsibly. Responsible Gaming is very important so that you can truly enjoy the gaming experience. The most important thing is to manage your money, in other words know how much you can afford to lose because at the end of the day, it is called gambling, not winning, you are going to lose some money. Some people have the misconception that they can go out and gamble and pay their bills with the winnings, this is the farthest thing from the truth.
Some people even go as far as to take the money that they have saved for their electric bill and say, if I take this money and go gamble it in a casino then I can double it and I have made extra money. This is not being responsible at all. Gambling is a form of entertainment and just like when you budget money for the movies or dinner the same goes for gambling. Expect not to get any money back, when was the last time you went to the movies and when the movie was over they gave you your money back? Exactly, it is money that you don't get back. You must budget-money for entertainment purposes, knowing once it is spent it is gone.
I am not trying to say that gambling is bad, I am just saying that if you are gambling with money that you don't have it is a very bad idea. Gambling can be lots of of fun as long as you do it responsibly. Yes, you will win some money and it is a very good feeling, however, you have to know when to stop. Another important thing you must not do is bring your credit card with you when you are gambling. Always leave it at home, and always bring cash, this prevents you from spending money you cant afford to lose.
If you are gambling online then you have no choice whether or not to use a credit card, however, know how much you can afford to lose before you start. Limit yourself to one deposit per day. Never make more than one deposit a day, this will keep you honest with yourself, and it will keep you from spending money that you don't have. Gambling can become addicting, so if you lose all of your first deposit you know that you can not deposit again for that day. Remember that gambling is a form of entertainment, not a way to pay your bills. Also, remember to have fun, and good luck.

48 Space Platform CDR - Joinedbywire
This lushly packaged release from Joinedbywire, gives a pleasant Nagasaki shake to the speakers. Textural towers of junkshopped machine give out a pure concrete satisfaction of jittering geriatric rivet and other broken automata. But it's not jumping into the deep end too quickly, things are allowed to develop gradually, built up on the dust of insectal aluminium and spazzed circuits... paraphernalia piling until it's a mechanised tumour pushing through skin with parasitic life. A mangle of malfunction, snapping hungrily or scurrying through your cranium with nervous energies, the magnetized haze, a myriad of loose mouthed spurs.
Tracks bleeding into each other, constantly paring themselves back into an oasis of bruised ambience… twilight reflections peppered in field recordings of overlapping dirge and velveteen reek, revealing secret pockets of Viennese chimes that clank with an unnatural aura between your ears. The last track Drym Lane Atomball stretches leisurely. A threadbare pianola, revolving on the circumference of some oscillating tardis thread, mutating into a mechanoid Windy and Carl. Dronic sails battered by nano-crunch, whirring glass and blasting furnace …this is so goddamn beautiful ,it's as if you could glimpse the scope of the universe in its grainy collisions... that neo primitive machine vocab, blowing out into the hissy ferrics of actual human conversation... something that definitely seems a possible seed behind this album's creation…

A wooden house will shrink. No matter how dry the wood was initially, over time, during a period of approximately two years, all residual humidity will slowly evaporate from the wood and the wood will become more dry. Wood shrinks in one direction only: lateral, but not longitudinal, or in other words, logs will become thinner, but not shorter.
Tag Archives: laminated wood
Wood For Log Houses: Non-dried, Dried, Laminated
For log-houses you can use three types of wood:
- dried wood
- non-dried wood
- laminated wood
Dried wood is cut down, peeled and then dried in a drier room. At sixty degrees Celcius the wood will dry with a speed of one centimeter per day and so a forty centimeter log will have to stay in the drier for twenty days. Continue reading

Gingham is everywhere this year and who am I to complain! This skirt can be worn with a tee shirt, tank, or a white button down like I'm doing here. It is so comfy and light which is a good thing because it is summer and in some areas it is really hot! It's gingham, it's pleated and best of all – it has pockets!
Sometimes when you are wearing something that is fun you just let go! I was asked to twirl and I happily obliged.
Until next time ♥

While the Gap loves to get activist celebrities like John Mayer involved in its ad campaigns, it's currently facing a bigger problem.
Namely, the discovery of child labor abuses at its factories.
From The Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
Clothing retailer Gap Inc. said Sunday that it will convene all of its Indian suppliers to "forcefully reiterate" its prohibition on child labor after a British newspaper found children as young as 10 making Gap clothes at a sweatshop in New Delhi.
The Observer newspaper quoted the children as saying they had been sold to the sweatshop by their families in Indian states such as Bihar and West Bengal and would not be allowed to leave until they had repaid that fee.
Some, working as long as 16 hours a day to hand-sew clothing, said they were not being paid because their employer said they were still trainees.
Gap said it first learned of the child labor allegations last week and discovered the sweatshop was being run by a subcontractor that a vendor had hired in violation of Gap's policies. The product made there will be destroyed so it cannot be sold in Gap stores, company spokesman Bill Chandler said.
"We appreciate that the media identified this subcontractor, and we acted swiftly in this situation," Chandler told The Associated Press on Sunday. "Under no circumstances is it acceptable for children to produce or work on garments."
The key to this story is that it took a newspaper to uncover and publicize these abuses. Big manufacturers of all kinds are implicitly encouraging these labor abuses in a rush to lower costs, and practically none of them are policing the situation.
Major brands like the Gap are taking a big risk with their brand image by outsourcing responsibility when they outsource their production.

At Key Stage 1 (ages 6–8) and Key Stage 2 (ages 8–11) the curriculum is broad and balanced. Every child has the opportunity to build on the skills they have acquired and developed in Foundation Stage, so they can experience success in learning and achieve as high a standard as possible.
The primary curriculum focuses on child-centred learning, building knowledge outwards:
- starting with the perspective of the individual;
- moving on to the family, the home and the school; and
- progressing to the neighbourhood and the wider world.
Teachers have considerable flexibility to decide how best to interpret and combine the curriculum requirements, to help prepare their pupils for a rapidly changing world.

22-Feb. 2012 Perth, Australia
Mr. Ikemoto and I could make presentation at primary school in Perth. My new friend Conrad and Vanessa invited us. I told students that how wonderful to see the real world by ourselves. We could make many friends on the road. Of course it is not always easy, I sometimes got bad troubles. We must learn how to survive… Children seems very exciting.
Our journey was over. We could finish our cycling between Adelaide and Perth. Mr. Ikemoto was so happy to finish our mission. Because he was so tired to pedal everyday. Of course his age (64 years old) let him so tired. It is not easy to cycle 70 km everyday with many luggage for his age.
We spent 45 days in Australia. We cycled 2907 km. We move between 25km and 130km everyday. It was 47 degrees at hottest time. tired, hungry, thirsty, painful,hot, cold,….There are some trials.
The Nullarbor Plain 1200km, we spent 2 weeks. There is no towns. The landscape was not change many days…forest and prairie. We can not see such a wild area in Japan. There is great wild landscape. We saw a lot of dead Kangaroos everyday. It means there is a lot of wild kangaroos live in. We drink a lot of Coca Cola. We spent a lot of money for accommodation and food when we arrived roadhouses. A bottle of water (1.5 little) was 6.5 Australian dollar (5.2 Euro) at Nullarbor Plain. We often eat chips (fried potato) and white bread. We always wanted to eat fresh vegetables and to drink cold drinks. It was nice to meet people at isolated area. Some travelers gave us food and water. We met Conrad on the road.

Wow!! You made papadam at home? Unbelievable. I take so granted that never ever thought about making them at home. Great job. Beautiful.ReplyDelete
I realy like your new photography style. You perfects your simplicity up to the moon. Even before you have done it I looked at your images and was suprised that photo with so few elements can looks so good. Now there is even less on them and they look great. Soon you will phootgraph only light itself without any subject and it will still looks more than perfect. After all it is "all about light" anyway. CHAPEAU BAS! You always be my food photography master.Replies
Hah hah, Cintamani! Yeah, the new style is called no styling. On the next step I stop photographing and the world still looks perfect!Delete
Thank you. I've been wanting to make papadom for years, and like you, presumed it was tricky without the traditional tools and manners. Now, I look forward to making these. What a great healthy snack for the family.ReplyDelete
Hi Lakshmi, your papads look great. I applaud you for that attempt! Beautiful photographs as usual. I am a blogger user too and have faced similar issues where the image have tweaked in contrast, brightness and colour. I have seen this specifically when the images have been uploaded to picasa either through blogger or directly. I have not found a solution yet to this and have checked picasa forums as well. I suggest you use an alternate web medium to store your pics (such as flickr.com) where the image quality is not altered. I hope that helps you. :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks! I found the solution. Google has introduced an enhancement feature to all pictures on Picasa and you have to register to Google+ to change the setting. It is really a crazy thing and messes up pictures badly. For months I've been wondering why the images change as soon as I upload them on Blogger.Delete
Thanks Lakshmi, I am not on Google+ and really don't wish to be there. It makes all picasa photos public and then I may have to spend additional effort in putting a privacy on several photos that I may not wish to share. Other than Google+, I m wondering if there is any other way to deal this within Picasa.Delete
As absurd as it may sound, unfortunately there is no other way! You can access the settings only through Google+.Delete
lakshmi, change the settings in Google+ to "do not auto-enhance photos." Google + >> Home >> Settings >> Photos & Videos (scroll down). Send me an email if you can't find it.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, Steph, for your help. I wasn't using Google+ and had no idea it even existed, what to speak of knowing there are some settings.Delete
wowo you made home made papadoms. Wow Hats off to you.ReplyDelete
When i was in school and next to the bust stop were we had to take our school bus there was this small house and they were traditional papad makers. And I was always fascinated how they made one after one so easily and then it was all layers outside on big mats to dry. Best papadoms they were as we got for home from them. Must say yours look so good too.Replies
Finla, it is true that best things are always fresh. Even papadams that are dry by nature and you would think there's no difference, are so much better when fresh.Delete
Beautiful papadams, Lakshmi. So tempted to try this soon :)ReplyDelete

Lakshmi loved the photography!! They reminded me of the summer days spent with grandma making all these yum recipes! I'd never thought of dehydrating it in the oven..shall definitely try this!!!ReplyDelete
We would love to try these papadas, they look so tasty and crisp! Cheers! J+CReplyDelete
You finally did it, didn't you? I was following the conversation in Facebook. They look as good as bought. Your images and writing so so soulful that I keep your blog open all day, like a good book, just to read through it whenever I get time.ReplyDelete
You gave the humble papadams a royal treatment! Love your blog.ReplyDelete
- FoodGeekGrazeMay 31, 2015
your uber detailed papadum instructions are, by far, the very best i have ever found. the dehydrating in the oven prior to puffing them up step is so very insightful. when i found your blog last year (not too long after i started my pinterest walk), this post was a stand out must make. admittedly, i have yet to do that, but... i am determined to go for it using your gentle guiding hand as my teacher. endless amounts of love and light sent for all of the shares i am now settling down to pinning and trying. cheers~ReplyDelete

Good listening: it's one of the most frequently taught leadership skills, and yet the chief complaint many employees have about their bosses is that they just don't listen.
We all think we're listening to what people are saying to us and that we understand the messages sent our way. In reality, this is rarely the case. We're naturally wired to talk, not listen. We hear the beginning of a statement, we assume we know what the person is going to say, and immediately we start working on a response or a rebuttal — even before the person has finished talking.
I recently had the pleasure of chatting with Alexandra Barton Taketa, a corporate talent development specialist and co-author of What You Don't Know About Listening (Could Fill A Book), on my radio show iLead: The Leadership Connection. (The episode was broadcast live from Dubai, where I was teaching Talent Management Bootcamp, an intensive workshop on how to attract the best people to your company and keep them. For info on upcoming bootcamps in Johannesburg and Beijing, click here.)
Over the past ten years, "What You Don't Know About Listening" has become an important part of management development programs for companies everywhere. In our interview, Alexandra offered a number of simple, clear tips on how we can become the listeners we all aspire to be. So: listen up!
Understand what it means to listen. Hearing is an automatic physiological response. Listening, on the other hand, is a learned skill. Most of us learn to listen by copying others, watching and mimicking the actions of parents, siblings, friends, teachers, bosses. Unfortunately, it's easy to learn bad behaviors, like tuning out and interrupting.
What does it look like when someone is really listening to you? "The most common response I get is 'eye contact,' " says Alexandra. "Eye contact is a key component of core conversation, but it's not actually going to prove you're listening. Someone might be looking at you, but still be entrenched in their own experience and their own agenda."
What kind of behavior proves you're really listening?
Focus on the other person. It may sound obvious, but listening is about getting the other person to talk. It's about asking great questions and waiting to hear the answers. Remember, if you're doing all the talking, you're just repeating what you already know. You won't learn anything new.
A great question is open-ended. It doesn't have a "yes" or "no" answer. An example of this type of question might be, "What ideas do you have about the project?"
Dig deeper into what the person has just said. Alexandra and her co-author, John White, call this "vertical" questioning. It allows you to learn more about the person's values, their creative ideas, and how they feel about a subject. For instance, a person just came back from a snorkeling vacation. A horizontal question would be: "What kind of fish did you see?" There's only one answer to this question. A vertical question might be, "What do you enjoy about snorkeling?" That line of inquiry can prompt many different answers and opens up all sorts of possibilities. "Vertical questions take the conversation deeper," says Alexandra. "They allow for a more authentic and richer interaction."
Structure your questions carefully. Alexandra notes that managers often pose questions starting with the word "why." Why did this happen? Why did you do this? "Why" questions often trigger a defensive response, since they are so frequently followed by a reprimand. Instead of starting your question with "why," try using the word "what," a word that carries a more neutral and less judgmental tone.
Practice, practice, practice. Although her book is targeted toward business leaders, Alexandra emphasizes that we're in communication with people all day long, in all aspects of our lives. So go ahead and practice good listening behavior with your family, friends, and other people outside of the office. Your skills will improve quickly, and you'll feel the difference in the depth of your relationships.
Likewise, don't confine listening in the workplace only to certain situations where you think it might be helpful, such as performance reviews. Try listening in meetings and in casual conversations. Instead of just tuning in once in a while, have a continuous dialogue with your employees.
I've used Alexandra's methods and I can attest that they work. In times like these, when most companies are either multi-national, or aspire to be, being able to listen deeply is an essential tool for dealing with cross-cultural issues and other language- and values-based challenges you're likely to encounter.
As the leadership guru Peter Drucker once said, "The leader of the future asks; the leader of the past tells." Effective listening and communication are what sets the great leader apart from the average one!

We have several landing pages created for people to sign up for our various newsletters. However, when we try to create landing pages for those sign-ups, they all have the same tagline ("Syracuse New Times: Sign Up to Stay in Touch" instead of "Syracuse New Times: Events Newsletter" and the like) when I share the links on social media.I've tried changing the Form Title, the description, and the title when creating a custom short-link through bit.ly, as well as using the Facebook Debugger for the links, and nothing seems to be taking. This obviously gets very confusing for users.Is there any way to change this, or do you only get one per account?
Hello @DavidA719,
You were correct, all landing pages use the same page title, which is what shows on Facebook. Everything from your account will show the same information. There is only one workaround I can think of right now. If you were to host inline sign-up forms on your own webpage(s), you should be able to create your own page titles. This would also help drive more traffic towards your website, which can have it's own advantages. I'm also adding your account to the list of people requesting that we add this as a feature for our landing pages in the future.If you have any other suggestions, of course feel free to let us know! We're always looking for ways of improving the system.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, Feb. 9 (UPI) -- George Coetzee closed with a 6-under-par 66 Sunday and won the European Tour's Joburg Open by three strokes.
It was the first European Tour victory for Coetzee, who has a total of six wins across professional tours. It also was the fifth consecutive year and sixth time in the eight years of the Joburg Open that a South African won the event.
Coetzee was bogey free through Sunday's play and finished at 19-under 268 for the tournament.
Justin Walters, who was tied for the lead after Saturday's third round, was 1-over 73 in the final round and ended up tied for second at 16-under. Tyrell Hatton, with a final-round 66, and Jin Jeong, who shot 71 Sunday, were also at 16-under.
Thomas Aiken, who was tied with Walters going into the final round, had six bogeys in a 2-over 74 and tied for fifth.
It had been three years since Coetzee won the Sunshine Tour's Telkom PGA Championship but a strong showing Sunday ended the long spell between titles.
He had five birdies through the first 10 holes of the final round and held steady with seven parts and a 15th-hole birdie the rest of the way.

If you talk to us here at Loveclients about redesigning or building a website from scratch, you'll notice that we don't talk much about Flash. Sure, we might suggest throwing a flash video into your site's offering as part of your unique value proposition, or as a call-to-action, but we simply don't build websites in Flash, and there's a very good reason for that — they don't get found easily online.
Recently, there's been a whole lot of debate about how Flash is becoming out-of-date, how the web is going to move beyond Flash and towards something more open — mainly HTML5 standards that include embedded video.
One of the main reasons — and main communities of discussion — this conversation has heated up is the often-vocal Apple community online. Since the iPad was announced in January, and Steve Jobs' demo included visiting sites featuring flash (and thus featuring the same blue lego you see on the iPhone browser), a lot of great writing has been published regarding the potential 'end of flash' on the internet.
First, you have John Gruber talking about Apple, Adobe, and Flash:
Flash is the only de facto web standard based on a proprietary technology. There are numerous proprietary web content plugins — including Apple's QuickTime — but Flash is the only one that's so ubiquitous that it's a de facto standard. Flash is the way video is delivered over the web, and Adobe completely controls Flash. No other aspect of the web works like this. HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are all open standards, with numerous implementations, including several that are open source … it is harmful to the web as a whole to have something as important as video be in the hands of a single company, and the only way that's going to change is if an open alternative becomes a compelling target for web publishers.
There was also some talk about Flash becoming an open standard, that Adobe might release the source code in order to allow Apple to re-engineer it to run properly on their iPhone, iPad, and, to an extent, their computers — as both Adobe and Apple insist that they're not given full access to each others' low-level computing tasks in order to get flash working as best it can on Apple platforms.
But this is unlikely, and, as Gruber pointed out, the flash source code might be a "huge steaming pile of convoluted C++ horsesh*t".
There's also this revealing infographic from LifeHacker which shows how the number of users visiting the popular site with non-flash-enabled browsers has increased in recent years.
Adobe has responded, both here and here, but it's notable that the most stringest defenses of Flash online have so far come from the very company who sells it, not from Flash-using developers.
A final word should probably be given to Jeffrey Zeldman, who wrote a post entitled Flash, iPad, Standards:
As the percentage of web users on non-Flash-capable platforms grows, developers who currently create Flash experiences with no fallbacks will have to rethink their strategy and start with the basics before adding a Flash layer. They will need to ensure that content and experience are delivered with or without Flash.
This is essentially why we don't automatically mandate flash in our designs (even though you see it on our homepage, as a video) — content and experience, which can only be well-delivered with a good, open structure, are the essential building blocks of SEO, and we don't want to design sites on something that can't deliver.

Over the last several years, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has continued to dramatically increase its spending on research and development.
Fully funded research and development activities are critically important to a company's long-term success. Such spending allows companies to both significantly enhance existing product lines (in Apple's case, this would include iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch) while also working to develop entirely new product categories.
Additionally, Apple has brought an increasing amount of technology development in-house to reduce its dependence on third-party suppliers and to increase the amount of proprietary technology that it owns, enhancing its competitive positioning in the marketplace.
During fiscal year 2017, Apple once again cranked up the amount of money it's investing in research and development. Here's why investors should care.
A billion-and-a-half boost
In fiscal year 2017, Apple spent $11.58 billion on research and development activities. That was a nearly $1.6 billion increase from the $10 billion that the company spent during fiscal year 2016. In the year before that, Apple spent just $8.07 billion on research and development.
This means that over just two short years, Apple increased its research and development spending by about $3.5 billion.
Apple isn't yet the biggest R&D spender in tech, though; that honor goes to search giant Alphabet, which spent $13.95 billion in research and development in calendar year 2016 and is on track to spend even more this year (Alphabet spent $12.32 billion in research and development in just the first nine months of 2017 alone).
However, it's clear that Apple is still increasing its investments at a furious pace, no doubt to try to extend its leadership positions in the smartphone, tablet, and PC markets, feed its investments in services, Apple Watch, and new accessories, and increase its bets on new areas like augmented reality and possibly autonomous driving.
Apple, of course, isn't going to publicly disclose where exactly that increase came from, but it did say in its form 10-K filing that the research and development bump in fiscal year 2017 was due to "increases in headcount-related expenses and material costs to support expanded R&D activities."
Apple's clearly investing heavily in its future.
What this means for investors
Ultimately, Apple's increased spending means that the product portfolio that we'll see coming out of the company in the years ahead will continue to get better.
Now, I know what you're thinking: Of course new products will be better than the ones that came before them, otherwise it wouldn't make sense for Apple to release them in the first place.
That's not quite what I'm trying to convey, though. What this expanded spending will allow Apple to do is to make bigger strides in each generation so that each new product generation is better and more competitive relative to what it faces in the marketplace than prior products were.
Perhaps the best example of this is the iPhone X. For the first time in what seems like years, Apple has released a phone that not only achieves leadership across every relevant technology vector, but it incorporates fundamentally new, paradigm-shifting hardware and software that's unmatched by anything currently in the market today.
I think Apple's increased spending will allow it to deliver more such iPhone X-level product innovations going forward, and because Apple is so financially successful, increasingly fewer companies will be able to compete with Apple in its core businesses over time.

Why in erwin Data Modeler, after a model has been derived from another model, the Physical Diagrams are now shown in Logical Diagram view?
For instance, if in the source model the view is set to Physical then after the derive action is completed the view is set to Logical view in the derived model.
This is by design, and works the same in Complete Compare as in Derive New Model. The Property "Logical_Physical_View_Mode" is used to indicate whether the view of the diagram is Logical or Physical. This property is ignored during Derive New Model / Complete Compare. Including that property in the process will have performance impact and the remedy is quick switch to the desired view.

ProSource | 3/13/2016 | Product Information
Tile Care
For basic cleaning, the following procedures are recommended for ceramic tile care:
Tile Maintenance
For tile with coarse or abrasive type surfaces, tile maintenance will need to be performed more frequently. Agitation will need to be more vigorous and water changes more frequent. Proper cleaning of these types of tile is necessary for the slip resistance value to be maintained. Grease or water accumulation may create slippery conditions. Be careful to avoid introduction of grease from dirty mops to your floor surface while cleaning.
Because the grout on your tile needs time to thoroughly dry after installation, we recommend you do not scrub or wash your tile for five days after installation. We also recommend protecting your floor against abrasive dirt at entrances to buildings with dirt catching floor mats.
Maintenance And Warranties
Tile care and maintenance, for the most part, requires minimal attention. Glazed and unglazed tile, under normal residential situations, can be cleaned using clean water and a tile cleaner recommended by the manufacturer. Always follow up with a rinse of clean water to completely remove all the cleaning solution. Regular maintenance is recommended to avoid build-up of dirt, residue, grease, soap, detergents, or other external contaminants.
Improper care of ceramic tile using maintenance and improper cleaning products can result in a build-up on the surface, causing the tile to be slippery. Wax cleaners and oil-based detergents may decrease the slip resistance and are not recommended for use on your ceramic tile.
Performance and/or warranty of flooring can be sacrificed or voided if not installed to manufacturer's instructions and industry standards. For further information on industry standards and guidelines please visit http://www.wfca.org/.
