How to Design an Advert that Works
This section is all about how you can design an advert which gets results! No offence to many of the brilliant and talented graphic designers out there, or skilled desktop designers, but beautiful artwork doesn't guarantee results or generate sales.
I have seen a lot of artwork which has cost £1,000s, only to be missing the telephone number or website address!
Advertising, whether in print, email or web is about presenting a special benefit or rich offer to your specific target prospects, clients or customers.
Putting it in plain terms – It's all about grabbing the attentions of the right people within a nanosecond, giving them an awesome sales pitch, and cohering paying customers to buy from you. Simple! Right?
The days of spending money on "Give it a test", or "That looks okay," have been left a long way behind.
Today, EVERY penny counts.
If you have a poor design, then you are wasting your money. A well-designed advert can get attention ranging up to 20 seconds, but generally you only get 10-12 seconds depending on the size of the advert.
Before I talk about the structure of the advert here are some basic things you need to know –
At least 50% space of your advert needs to be visuals, without it the attention gets lost.
Adverts are scanned, and viewed rather than read
Adverts are scanned in a clockwise motion
One off advertising generally does not work!
Adverts need to appeal to one person at a time and not to EVERYONE (I'll explain later)
OK, now, let's talk about constructing an advert!
Once you have grabbed their attention, hit them again! Use a sub-headline!
The only way you can grab anyone's attention, is to really understand what problems you are actually solving, and presenting the solution to the person who sees your advert. This way you are identifying with that person and not EVERYONE!
Here is what I mean – Imagine you want to find female customers who have children!
CALLING ALL MUMS: Are you killing your children? – Stop NOW!
If you are a mum, would you read on?
The headline doesn't need to be so drastic, but a powerful headline grabs the attention and then a sub-headline stops the motion of moving on. The type of headline all depends on the type of product or service you want the reader to buy.
You can use others like –
HEY MUM! NEED MORE SLEEP? We can help you sleep, EVERY NIGHT!
This one is a classic, because asking a question will grab the attention of all the tired mums, and then indicates that you have a solution.
Remember, you are solving a problem, there is a clear benefit, and it's about them, not you. If you can use emotion at any point, do it!
Just remember:
Command your reader's attention with an effective strong headline.
Keep it short, simple and to the point, and most importantly, make sure it is targeting the audience you want.
Following up with a sub-headline and encourages further attention.
Tips –
Keep your headline simple. Don't make it difficult to understand.
Secondary headline – Point out their problems and how you solve them, or use emotion if you can
Use a question in either of your headlines is always good
The position of the headline is as important as having the headline
FACT: Best Carpet cleaner in Europe
This is a bad headline, because I am sure the rest of the advert would indicate they clean carpets, but also it has nothing to do with the customer! No emotion, no clear benefits and who cares? Lastly it's all about them! Although you might think that your advert is about your business, it's not!
2. Establish Interest and Generate Desire
So you have their attention, and now the reader needs to know what's in it for them. Don't talk about how technical your services is or how cutting edge your latest widget is. I can't express how important this is point – NOBODY CARES!
You need to be thinking from the customer's point of view and address a problem. Emphasize the benefits and future outcomes of using your product or services from their angle.
The main triggers of emotion that bring people to buy are:
- Love – This is a great emotional trigger! People who love a product are loyal!
- Pride – Everyone feels proud about something! My cleaner, My Car, My House…
- Guilt – I really should have had that extra glass of wine…
- Fear – If I don't buy this, what will happen?
- Greed – I don't need this, but I can afford it.
There are many more, and I am sure I will blog about this another time, but I can promise you, people are not buying just because you have been in business for 25 years.
So how do you appeal to the emotions?
Think about what the client is thinking. This is not just true in designing your advert, but also in a sales situation (again a whole different blog). To make this easy, find out why people would need your service and why not call your competitors. So if you provide a service, find out what problems they are having. Find out what they don't like about the industry, and what you do better than anyone else. Then, create desire for your product or service.
Avoid using a lot of copy here. It is an advert, not an editorial! Keep to bullet points, make it emotional if you can and talk about the reader.
Here is what I mean –
If you are going for copy –
Don't put copy in like this: We at XYZ Widget repairs are the cheapest in town. We are reliable, and have a friendly service. We have been established for over 25 years and we are good at what we do. If we make a mistake we offer a guarantee.
Put copy like this: Your broken widget will be repaired by a professional with over 25 years of experience, without waiting around for someone to turn up and at a price you can afford. If you are not completely happy with the service you receive then you don't pay us a penny.
Same points made, but which one would you buy from?
I strongly suggest avoiding bullet points like these:
- We are cheap
- We are reliable
- We are friendly
- We offer a Guaranteed Service
Instead, go for these:
- We fit YOUR budget
- YOU can count on us
- YOU'LL love our service
- YOU don't pay, if you don't get results!
The last one is always a tricky, as the word GUARANTEED is all that is read, but we will move on to this later!
Don't be scared to point out problems people face when using someone in your sector! If other companies charge too much money, turn up late, don't fix things on first visit, turn up dressed in dirty boots, use this to your advantage by telling they won't get that from you.
3. Enable Conviction –
Anyone who sees an advert must have complete buyer confidence to be able to take the action you require, from looking at your website, calling you or buying something. Make it easier! You need to give solid trust in what you have to offer. You can do this inserting a testimonial, or having logos such as checkatrade.com. Why not insert any awards or service scores if you have them? If your profession requires a qualification be sure to point this out and include this.
You could do this by simply inserting a photo of you! Nothing shows more conviction in what you are offering than if you are happy putting your name and face to something you are doing. People buy from people.
Offer Guarantee of service!
I promised I would talk about this. Guarantees are an excellent way of showing your potential customers you are serious about how they feel about using your services. (did you notice how I said about how they feel?). Any kind of guarantee gives the person looking at your advert trust, confidence, but more importantly – security. There is no question about the service or product if you are backing it with a guarantee. This makes the buying decision or emotion easier.
Why Testimonials?
If you have a testimonial, make sure it is a genuine one. Keep it short and to the point. (Not too much text, remember). This helps establish trust from a third party.
4. Call to Action
This is the single most overlooked detail. TELL the reader what they need to do next. This is called a call to action. Again, make this step easy! PUT YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBER or WEBSITE ADDRESS. Seriously, I have seen so many adverts which have sent in artwork, without a telephone number or website address. Even when a graphic designer has put the artwork together!
For and awesome call to action, why not include a voucher or discount, but make it time sensitive:
"For a LIMITED Time", "Places Limited" or "For the first 10 people who call"
5. Design Layout
Advert design layout is the last thing you need to complete the finished advert. You need to remember that adverts are scanned, you only have 3 seconds to get their attention. So, headline needs to be seen before your logo our business name.
This is the order of what you want people to see in an advert:
- Headline
- Sub-headline
- Image which relate to what you are offering
- The rest of your info – Bullet points, what you do for them
- Your offer
- Your details
- Your logo
You need to consider the size of the advert, and then work out the size of the text, and how many words you want to use. Remember here, less is more.
What Font?
Only use Serif for printed work. Serif fonts are basically fonts with curls at the bottom. It is easier to read and recognized quicker than Sans Sarif. Sans Serif are more squared font which is much better for digital and website text.
Last Tips
In marketing you will hear about the three M's: Message, Medium, Market. Basically, What's the message you want, going to what market and what medium are you going to use? For any kind of advertising, you need to make sure you make your message is being delivered to the right market. If your medium doesn't go to the right market, your message won't be delivered!
Make sure the magazine you are going to advertise in, hits the right target. There is no point in advertising bookkeeping services in a teeny bopper's mag!
Be constant! The more you advertise the more you will get trust from the reader, don't ever see advertising as a cost, but as an investment. Whatever you do, please don't think that placing one advert once will work. IT WONT!
Try and get a great position in the magazine. Usually depending on what you offer, you need to be on the right hand page, and close, if not included within a section or article which can be associated to your profession.
STAND OUT! – use humour…. Be entertaining if possible
Measure, test and be prepared to change! – I know that I have said one off adverts don't work, but if you are not getting a response after a fixed time, then look at changing the advert. Your business is needed by someone, that's why you are doing it. Just look at the message or design. Does it reflect the people you want to attract?

Sensa Advanced Reviews
Sensa Advanced is a dietary supplement that claims to help individuals lose weight without having to give up their favorite foods, and to include a new ingredient that boosts metabolism.
About Sensa Advanced
When compared to the original formula, Sensa Advanced claims to be a "new and improved" formula that helps to better control cravings, while also supporting a healthy metabolism. Like the original Sensa, Sensa Advanced claims to help you lose weight without dieting, and to help provide you with better portion control.
See Also: Can Garcinia Cambogia Really Help You Lose Weight? See What Science Says!
Sensa Advanced is manufactured by Sensa Products, LLC, and holds a B+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, which is based on 117 closed complaints over the past three years. Regarding Sensa Advanced specifically, online customer reviews appear to be primarily negative, with the most common complaints citing failure to work and poor customer service.
How Sensa Advanced Works
Sensa Advanced claims to use "the science of smell and taste to help you recognize when your body says enough is enough!" As a result, the product is claimed to help you feel fuller, and to eat less. However, instead of starving yourself on a diet—which can actually cause your body to retain more fat—Sensa Advanced allows you to eat all your favorite foods; just less of them. And now, when compared to the Regular formula, Sensa Advanced contains chromium, which is claimed to help boost your metabolism.
The company claims that Sensa is "as easy to use as salt and pepper," and entails a simple 3-step process:
- Sprinkle Sensa Advanced "Tastants" on your food immediately prior to eating it.
- Eat the foods you love.
- Sensa Advanced's dual action formula will help you lose weight.
According to the product's website, Sensa Tastants are formulated using ingredients classified as 100% GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) by the FDA, and do not contain drugs, diuretics, or stimulants. The new Advanced formula contains a stronger blend than the original, and the new key nutrient is chromium, which helps your body better metabolize fats and carbohydrates. Sensa Advanced's food-based ingredients include: Patented blends of natural and artificial flavors, Maltodextrin (Derived from Corn from the USA), Tricalcium Phosphate, Silica, Natural and Artificial Flavors. SENSA® also contains Soy and Milk ingredients. It's interesting to note that Sensa Advanced does not provide a complete list of all ingredients, which is something we'll cover in more detail in the final section.
If you sign up for the Sensa Advance membership program (see next section), you'll receive two shakers each month; one "Salty" shaker, which should be applied to meat, seafood, and pasta, and one "Sweet" shaker, which should be applied to any sugar-based food. After Sensa Advanced has been sprinkled over your food, it should not affect the taste, other than a "subtle enhancement in flavor."
The complete Sensa Advanced program is intended to last six months, which means you'll receive six different Sensa blends over this period of time. This is because your body can become resistant to the blends which can reduce their effectiveness, so it's important that you change blends as directed. After you've reached the end of your 6-month program, you can simply start over again. According to the website, "the majority of users lose 9.5 pounds over the course of a single six-month program.
The manufacturer claims that Sensa Advanced is safe for use by the vast majority of individuals. However, it does contain small amounts of soy and/or lactose. As with any nutritional supplement, be sure to consult with your physician before taking. Also, in order to achieve maximum weight loss, Sensa Advanced should be combined with regular exercise and portion control.
To help you remember to sprinkle Sensa Advanced on your food, the company even offers iOS and Android apps.
Sensa Advanced Pricing & Refund Policy
While Sensa Advanced is available through a wide variety of online and offline retailers, including Walmart, Amazon.com, GNC, Costco, and more, you'll have a couple different buying options if purchased directly through the manufacturer:
- Currently, you can receive a 30-day supply of Sensa Advanced for just $4.95 shipping and handling. However, this means you'll also be signed up for Sensa's membership program, which means that if you don't cancel within the first 30 days, your credit card will be charged $89.95 for the original order. In addition, you'll continue to receive a two-month supply of Sensa every 60 days, and your credit card will be charged accordingly. To cancel your membership at any time, you'll need to call customer service at (866) 514-2554.
- If you'd prefer not to sign up for the membership program, a two-month supply of Sensa Advanced can be purchased for $118, while a six-month supply can be purchased for $354.
Sensa Advanced comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee, less shipping and handling charges. Simply call customer service at (866) 514-2554 to begin the process.
Bottom Line: Is Sensa Advanced a Scam?
If you're thinking that all the claims made by the company seem too good to be true, you may be wondering, "Is Sensa Advanced a scam?" Let's take a closer look…
First, even though the company claims the patent pending technology in Sensa Advanced is based on intensive research that shows a strong link between "odors and flavors [and] human emotion, mood and behavior," it should be noted that there is no clinical proof available showing Sensa Advanced works as claimed. In fact, the company bases almost all of their claims on two things:
- A non-double blind study performed by Dr. Hirsch himself (the creator of Sensa), which has not been made available for peer review.
- According to this, "Hirsch [also] says there was a peer-reviewed study by the Endocrine Society supporting the claim that subjects lost over thirty pounds using Sensa. However, the Endocrine Society says they did not review the study. On ABC's news magazine program 20/20, the Endocrine Society stated they "were surprised and troubled by the promotional nature of his presentation."
Furthermore, Sensa has been the subject of two recent settlements:
- A $26 million settlement with the FTC for deceptive advertising practices. From the FTC website: "The FTC charged that California-based Sensa Products, LLC, its parent, and two individuals deceptively advertised that the powdered food additive Sensa enhances food's smell and taste, making users feel full faster, so they eat less and lose weight, without dieting, and without changing their exercise regime. The defendants did not have competent and reliable scientific evidence to support these claims, according to the FTC's complaint."
- Also, Sensa was required to pay $905,000 after the CA Statewide Nutritional Supplement Task Force found the company was making unsubstantiated claims about the supplement, and processing unauthorized charges.
Interestingly, while we don't know the full details of the FTC settlement, it appears the Sensa website continues to promote basically the same claims, but are now just delivered in a slightly different manner.
Next, neither the Sensa nor Sensa Advanced websites provide a full ingredient list. While some ingredients are listed, others a very generic—such as "artificial flavors"—which could encompass a wide variety of materials, some of which are much better for your health than others.
Finally, keep in mind that both the product and the company appear to have an overwhelmingly negative online reputation. These include complaints about the company's membership program—which is just a fancy name for an autoship program—and their propensity for making the cancellation/refund process as laborious as possible. Also, as with most nutritional supplements, the most common complaint regarding the product is that it did not work as advertised.
Bottom line: If you're thinking about trying Sensa to achieve your own weight loss goals, we would recommend saving your money and purchasing a 6-month gym membership instead.

Sensa works
Both times I have used the Sensa weight loss program I have met my weight goals. I first tried the program in my 40s and lost 20 lbs in a little over six months. Now in my 60s I am again using the program and losing weight. Don't know what's in it particularly but it works for me.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

China could extend plans for its space station by adding further modules to the planned orbital complex, a senior space official has stated.
Yang Hong, from the Institute of Manned Space System Engineering under the China Academy of Space Technology (CAST), a major spacecraft maker, stated that the basic T-shape for the planned three-module Chinese Space Station (CSS) could be extended to add three more modules and greatly increase the overall mass of the orbital outpost.
Yang presented the characteristics and functions of the 'Tiangong' (Heavenly Palace) space station at the International Astronautical Congress in Bremen, Germany on October 4.
By expanding the facility, Yang stated the CSS can go from around 70 metric tonnes to 160-180 metric tonnes in mass.
A slide showing potential expansion of the Chinese Space Station presented at IAC 2018.
Such an expansion could only come should China first succeed with the original plan.
China is currently aiming to launch the first CSS module, Tianhe, in 2020, once the Long March 5 and 5B launch vehicles are proven ready. Tianhe could already have been launched in 2018, but for the failure of the second Long March 5 launch, which prompted a redesign of its first stage engines.
Two experiment modules will be orbited and attached around 2021 and 2022, following intervening cargo and crewed missions.
A slide detailing characteristics of the Chinese Space Station presented at IAC 2018.
In a question and answer session, Yang refused to offer a time frame for the possible expansion. It is also unclear how the mass reaches 180 metric tonnes, with each module having a mass of around 20 tonnes, though docked Shenzhou crewed and Tianzhou cargo craft would also add to the overall mass.
Yang, answering questions through an interpreter, also declined to make a comparison with the International Space Station (ISS), which is led by the United States with Russia, Japan and the European Space Agency (ESA) as major contributors.
Construction of the ISS in low Earth orbit began in 1998 and is now more than 400 tonnes. It could remain in operation until 2030.
The International Space Station is featured in this image photographed by an STS-132 crew member on board the Space Shuttle Atlantis after the station and shuttle began their post-undocking relative separation.
Open space station
In 2016 China signed an agreement with the United Nations to open the CSS to international partners, especially developing nations, thereby allowing for science experiments to be sent to the station.
Introducing Yang's presentation, Li Ming, vice president of CAST, said that the CSS was, "Not just for Chinese, but for all humankind".
The agreement also opens the door for partners to send astronauts or even add modules to the CSS.
Funding, resources and priorities will likely be key to a decision to expand, as China also has plans for robotic and eventual human exploration of the Moon.

The basic three modules will already be joined by a co-orbiting 'optical module', named Xuntian, which will be a Hubble-class space telescope in terms of aperture and capable of surveying the heavens. It will be able to dock with the CSS for maintenance, repairs and refuelling.
China has launched two Tiangong space labs as stepping stones for a larger space station, testing rendezvous and docking, life support systems and medium duration stays, and refuelling and cargo
Tiangong-1, launched in 2011, made a much-hyped uncontrolled reentry into the Earth's atmosphere in April this year, following a loss of contact with, and therefore control of, the spacecraft in March 2016.
Tiangong-2, launched in 2016, is scheduled for a controlled deorbiting in July 2019.

music has always been free,like the birds,the water we drink, the sun
and in reality there is no way to cage music if you don't want to kill it.
have you heard of anyone able to imprison love,passion,despair or joy ?
very few seem to remember or even understand this simple truth but more are starting to realize it
Saxophonist Thiago França comes after Metá-Metá , with a constellation of musicians like Kiko Dinucci, Marcelo Cabral, Samba Ossalê and Wellington "Pimpa" Moreira under the collective name of Sambanzo ( Samba & the Yoruba Banzo which has a meaning similar to the blues or the longing for the Motherland that the slaves felt) that lovingly prepared a powerful afrobeat ,samba and jazz conversation with the Afro-Brazilian roots and they are offering it to anyone wishing to dig into this new global African sound that is unfolding as a celebration from São Paulo to Addis Ababa and to all corners .
thank you Thiago França and Sambanzo. Música livre, sempre!

Basic vs. Professional vs. Architect
eCTD Viewer is a multi-regional eCTD viewing solution packed with lots of powerful features to help you explore and understand eCTD submission lifecycle more easily.
eCTD Viewer Features
eCTD Viewer is under constant testing and development: new features, as a result of user requests, are being added daily. Check out some of the more exclusive features you can benefit from:
Your eCTD Viewing Solution
Even if you already have an eCTD viewing solution - try eCTD Viewer to unleash all the potentials of an eCTD lifecycle!
Using additional tools included, like PDF Hyperlink Explorer, you can understand your e-submissions more deeply.
PDF Hyperlink Explorer
Need to explore all hyperlinks between PDF documents sharing a common folder (like an e-submission, eCTD/NeeS sequence folder)? PDF Hyperlink Explorer quickly scans and processes PDF documents and hyperlinks to present a clean and simple view of how your documents are cross-linked. Check for the type of the hyperlink (including link text, page, position), target documents, whether a document is optimized for Fast Web View, if PDF properties are valid (initial view magnification, initial view page layout, PDF version, etc.). Process any PDF collection - not only an eCTD/NeeS submission!
Two-way Experience
We believe an eCTD viewer should not only allow you to simply view documents in an electronic submission lifecycle. How about having an option to add custom notes for every document in your electronic submission? How about being able to also mark a document with a "flag" using custom flag names?
eCTD Viewer lets your transform simple viewing into a more two-way experience. Save (and load) multiple notes per one submission. Share your notes with others in your team!
Lots of STFs in your (FDA) eCTD submission?
STF Categories tab will display all your study tagging files grouped using category elements as specified in the STF. This includes: 18.104.22.168 Single dose toxicity (grouped by species and route of administration), 188.8.131.52 Repeat dose toxicity (grouped by species, route of administration, and duration if applicable), 18.104.22.168.1 Long term [carcinogenicity] studies (grouped by species) and 184.108.40.206 Study reports of controlled clinical studies pertinent to the claimed indication (grouped by type of control).
Study View will display documents in a selected STF grouped by their file-tag values.
File reuse / Reference leaves / Virtual documents
The name is not unique but the idea is encouraged by ICH and Agencies: eCTD provides the ability to submit a file once and display it in multiple locations of the eCTD by providing multiple leaf elements referencing that file. File Reuse tab visually displays how your submission documents are reused in a sequence or even across sequences. Reviewers or your product, and you, can readily identify files which are referenced multiple times.
Documents linking to other (same sequence or cross-sequence) documents
You think a study-report.pdf under an M5 section has hyperlinks to a few other documents in the submission? Not sure if this one points to M2 data and if all the hyperlinks are functional? Activate the Hyperlinks tab and find the answers - visually identify targeted documents in the same or across different sequences.
Standard features
- Current / cumulative / sequence / regulatory activity / custom views.
- Clear presentation of submission metadata, such as indication, dosage form, manufacturer, excipient.
- Visual indicators for lifecycle leaf operations (new, append, replace, delete).
- Metadata attribute viewer.
- Load a document in embedded PDF viewer, external PDF viewer or just locate in Windows Explorer.
Speaks Your Language!
Not fluent in English? No problem!
Parlez-Vous Francais? Sprechen sie Deutsch? ¿Habla español? Spreekt u Nederlands? Parli italiano?
Have the user interface translated to the language you know in one click and on-the-fly!
Current, Cumulative? Boring. How about your own Custom Views?
As unique as you are. Current and cumulative views are ok, but when you need more control you want unlimited number of easily switchable custom (saveable) views.
Reviewing an EU (/GCC) MRP / DCP procedure? More countries involved?
Filtering section includes all countries involved in the life of a product and you can quickly hide those you are not interested in momentarily.
Envelope/Regional Elements Analyzer
Why stop your eCTD lifecycle experience at the sequence / document / operation level? Would you like to quickly find out what sequence replaces sequence 0000 with submission type = "amendment" / "supplemental-data"? The "Envelope / Admin Elements Analyzer" allows for complex queries to envelope elements - get the info in just a click.
Fluent user interface
Are you only interested in viewing eCTD lifecycle documents or is having the ability to drill down an eCTD what drives you?
You can easily configure what elements of the user interface are available to you (your reviewers). Make eCTD Viewer super basic or have its full potential at your fingerprints.
Document Viewer sports the "Undock" button. Undock will make Document Viewer float on top of the main application window. What's more you can move it to a different monitor and maximize your viewing experience! Close it to dock it again to the main application.
NeeS / VNeeS / Other Electronic Dossier Formats
While Health Authorities are moving away from NeeS toward eCTD, there are Non-eCTD submissions you need to browse, navigate, view and re-view.
NeeS Viewer handles both (human) NeeS and (veterinary) VNeeS and other electronic dossier formats.
Standard features
- Multilingual user interface (English, Dutch, French, German, Spanish).
- Load lifecycle (from a specific) up to specific sequence.
- Lifecycle report.
- Save regional metadata as CSV.
- Save current view as CSV.
- Save STF/Study View as CSV.
- Save screen layouts (to quickly reconfigure screen UI).
- Basic document info (title, sequence, target) above the preview.
- Compare two sequences (or any two folder structures).
- Leaf flagging (mark a leaf with a red/green/blue/orange/magenta/yellow/black flag).
- Save and re-apply filters: by module, by sequence, by leaf operation, by title, by target sequence, by file name, by leaf ID, ....

Travelers looking to get away over Labor Day weekend still have time (but not much) to snag a deal on airfare, according to an analysis of fare trends in the weeks leading up to the holiday. Waiting until after Aug. 9 to buy plane tickets for a Labor Day trip could cost consumers up to 30% more, showed the data from airfare search engine Fly.com.
Between Aug. 1, 2013 and Aug. 22, 2013, fares jumped as much as $174, depending on the destination, a news release from Fly.com said. These figures are based on 1 million user searches conducted between July 15 and Aug. 22 last year: Destinations included Chicago; Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; Honolulu; Las Vegas; Los Angeles; New York City and San Juan, Puerto Rico. Plans included departure dates spanning Aug. 28 and Aug. 31, 2013, and return flights were scheduled between Sept. 1 and Sept. 4.
It's common for airlines to raise prices and take advantage of last-minute bookings, and those flying this Labor Day generally have till Aug. 8 before their trip costs significantly increase, the findings indicate.
The Costs of Last-Minute Travel
A lot of people prioritize price when making flight plans, but there are other considerations when working travels into your budget. An airline may charge a low base fare, but you may have to pay extra for baggage (even carry-ons) and in-flight amenities. Make sure you check airline policies before you're seduced by a low sticker price.
There are also often costs variations among airports and the number of stops between your departure and destination. You may prefer a certain airport or flight path, but you should also consider compromising. That goes for seating preferences, too. If you have a travel rewards credit card, you can potentially save a lot of money by booking a rewards trip, so if you have that option, give it serious thought.
Think About the Long-Term Impact
You may really want to take that long-weekend vacation, but flying for relaxation or a reunion may not be worth what the airfare does to your financial situation. It may be tempting to put an expensive trip on your credit card and deal with the cost when your bill comes, but adding hundreds (possibly thousands) of dollars to your credit card balance could hurt your credit score by increasing your credit utilization rate. You may also find yourself in a position where you can't pay the bill in full, and you'll end up paying much more for that holiday weekend once you tack on interest charges.
Your credit standing may determine whether you get a loan in the future, and it will also be a factor in how much you pay for credit, because your interest rate will be tied to how risky a consumer the lender sees you as. Credit card use majorly influences your credit; to see how your credit cards affect your financial future, you can check your free credit scores and other credit data using Credit.com.

I love amazing recipes that take just a few minutes, and this Shrimp Scampi Zoodles Recipe will take you less than 10 minutes from start to finish. Isn't that AWESOME!? With this recipe taking such a short amount of time, it's perfect to have for lunch or dinner. Oh, and I forgot to mention, it's also PALEO, Whole 30, and Simple Fit Forty ready. I can't wait to share with you this amazingly delicious recipe!
One of my "most favorite" purchases over the last year has been my Paderno world cuisine spiralizer. It literally makes the 'hum drum' of preparing dinner so much fun. You can grab so many different fruits and vegetables and make some seriously fun recipes. One of my favorite things to make are delicious zoodles, like in this Shrimp Scampi Zoodles Recipe.
Shrimp Scampi Zoodles Recipe
To make this amazing lunch (or dinner) you will need a few things on hand:
- 10 minutes
- 2 skillets
- ~12-16 peeled and cooked shrimp
- 2 medium zucchini
- seasonings (listed in recipe)
- extra virgin olive oil
Grab the spiralizer and the two zucchini and use the chipper blade. (This is one of the three blades that comes with the Paderno.) Use a knife to cut off both ends of the zucchini and then place into the spiralizer. Turn until you have fresh zoodles.
Place a medium skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil. Place the fresh zoodles into the skillet and add a little garlic powder to flavor things up. Toss zoodles in olive oil and seasoning well. Cover skillet and heat for one minute. Remove lid, toss zoodles again, and cover for an additional two minutes. Remove from heat and keep covered.
Shrimp Scampi Zoodles Recipe
Take the cooked shrimp and place in a small skillet with about a tbsp of extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle generously with your favorite seasonings (I use Paul Prudhomme's Seafood Magic) and allow to warm for a few minutes.
Once the shrimp are heated through, place them on a bed of zoodles and serve immediately.
Seriously, one of the best flavored dishes I make, and it's so simple. Head to the store and grab the supplies needed for this Shrimp Scampi Zoodles Recipes. You won't be disappointed!

I think we need it to organize the citations in a bibliographic resource. It may be useful to have its own class: sometimes there is confusion about which bibliographic resource the item refers to. There may be a reference with no corresponding bibliographic resource--the item may have never existed, not been published at the expected time/location, or be unavailable for others to consult (i.e. MS burned in a fire, personal communication). I would also widen the notion of resources: any document, personal communication, ... can be listed in the references section of a published work. > > Another question might be, if we want to repeat the bibliographic information for the reference, if we can directly link the bibliographic resource that is identified by the reference. One reason might be the desire to represent the actual information that is found in the reference list. Of course we could always introduce a Bibliographic Resource and add the information there. In this case, at a later point in time a mapping by owl:sameAs could take place. But then it would be at least difficult to regain the information that was found originally in the bibliography. Bibliographic resources should have representations (possibly multiple representations). In future bibliographies, we would want to specify references with the identifier but display a human-readable version. For legacy bibliographies, an indication of the actual text in the reference list is useful: for one thing, it exists, and we might want to know how to refer to it. -Jodi > > Does that make sense? > > Cheers, > > Kai > > [1] http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/wiki/Cluster_Citations > > Am 09.12.2010 13:51, schrieb Tillett, Barbara: >> Why is "citation" not just an application of using bibliographic data that identifies a bibliographic entity?

He looks for imperfections such as cracked concrete and other urban elements on the streets of his native St. Etienne and plays with these inanimate objects using cleverly placed, humorous doodles with references to pop culture. An office worker by day and street artist at night, OakOak is inspired by his hometown which he describes as "a laboratory city where you can try what you want" and "although for many this city has a black image, it is a huge playground, open to everything new – unpretentious."

I recently choked down an article from a website that I am not exactly a member of the website's demographic. The post was an actor's thoughts on the Charleston shooting and gun control. In short, if someone had had a gun in Charleston, lives would have been saved. This is the same argument many gun enthusiasts use every single time there is a shooting. It may actually be true if this were Hollywood and we were all a bunch of John McClanes. We aren't though. In a situation like that many of us would be lucky to not go full Mr. Bean.
There have been a lot of shootings in the states in recent years. So many, that people inside and out of the states don't seem to stop and take note the way they once did. Perhaps a shrug of the shoulders or a nod of the head. Each of these events is tragic, but we seem absolutely powerless and unwilling to change. One side stands up in an act of futility and tries to disarm everyone. While the other side, who seems to fear government enslavement – completely missing the irony of our current situation that includes taxes, loans, mortgages, healthcare and day jobs – stands up and says "No!"
I mean I get that it is a right to have guns and they make some people feel safe. We have had guns for hundreds of years and they are a hobby for some. However, do we really need so fucking many? Especially the ones with one intent and that is to kill a lot of people easily? I really want to stress that I am not talking about all the guns. I am talking about guns that were designed for armed forces and police departments.
Look, guns are a tool and I begrudgingly concede the point that it is all about how one uses the gun. However, there are some guns that were made to put food on the table and protect. By protect I mean deter. While other guns were designed to kill people who were also firing back from behind concrete barriers and couches. The latter is what I am asking about. Do civilians truly need those guns? Professional level guns that have in turn required police departments to get even bigger guns among other scary equipment.
How many shootings have happened where the argument has been, if someone had had a gun lives could have been saved? Yeah, if specially trained racist eradicating deinonychuses had been there, lives would have been saved? If someone invented a time travelling robot to eradicate racist dickholes, lives would have been saved?
None of those things seem like they will ever happen. Especially the first one. How many shootings have happened? How many times has someone present at the shooting – who isn't the shooter – had a gun? How many times have they saved lives and stopped the shooter? Having a gun doesn't necessarily equal protection.
If gun is a tool and it doesn't kill people, then it sure as hell can't save lives either. People will not be safer, there will just be more civilians with more guns. Some may want to kill people, some may only want to kill people that try to kill them first – which is a line that shouldn't be easily crossed. They may be trained and licensed, but how would they handle that situation? This isn't shooting at a target or animal. This isn't the movies. It won't be like Die Hard or Red Dawn or whatever they think it will be like. It will be terrifying and there will be two people with guns and adrenaline pumping and it will be in a fucking crazy situation.
We are talking civilians doing things that soldiers and police officers have been trained to do. Some if not many of these specially trained people develop post traumatic stress syndrome. Yes, for many different reasons, but one is the situation of shooting and killing another human being. What if, in the heat of the moment, they shoot the wrong person? Is everyone ready to deal with that? While I am a big fan of living, I for one couldn't. Judging by how many times a gunman has been met by gun toting citizens, I don't believe I am the only one.

I recently purchased a small tow car (known to RVers as a TOAD) and I was trying to figure out what kind of Supplemental Braking System is required by the laws of the states I plan to drive through.
This was a bit of a mystery to me and whenever I called any RV Parts store they were recommending some pretty expensive stuff for me to purchase and have installed.
After some research, I found that every state has its own laws about supplemental braking systems, and I pulled the information together in an article of mine on HubPages, if you want to know what I found.
RV's and Towed Car Braking and what Supplemental Braking Systems are available.
Also, during my research I found a link to a site that lists the legal limits for all 50 States and Canada. Check it out to help you with your decision.
Towed Car Braking Requirements for all states.

New Delhi: After the latest incident of a politician slapping a toll attendant, government has swung into action and decided to save helpless toll attendants from goons cum politicians. Government will install a wax statue of Arnab Goswami at all major toll booths to make the politicians behave themselves.
Earlier, BJP's Bahadur Singh Koli was caught on camera slapping a toll attendant in Rajasthan. Mr. Koli is a member of Lok Sabha from Bharatpur, Rajasthan. This is not the first incident of a politician slapping toll attendants after an argument and government has decided that they must put a stop to this now.
"We looked at various options. Removing tolls completely from India, arming toll attendants with AK47s, forming special toll attendants' protection squads etc. We even thought about asking the politicians to avoid behaving like goons but none of them seemed very practical. Then we were watching an episode of The Newshour on YouTube and observed how every politician was meekly listening to Arnab scolding them. Eureka! We had our solution", a senior official at Road Transport and Highway ministry said.
"Now we knew that politicians can behave when faced with Arnab but our next challenge was getting Arnab on every toll booth. We thought about putting up his posters but we ourselves have written there that no posters allowed. Then our minister saw some pics from Madame Tussauds museum on someone's FB profile and we had our solution. We will make wax statues of Arnab and place them outside every toll booth. There will be a pre-recorded tape inside the wax statue and if an attendant is facing a threat from a politician, he can press a button and the statue will say 'NEVER EVER EVER EVER NEVER EVER NEVER EVER'. If someone is still throwing his weight around, attendants can press the second button, then the statue will start screaming about VVIP RACISM", the official explained.
When we asked a politician if this plan will work, he said,"What plan? Now we have to slap twice instead of once. One slap for the toll attendant, one for that statue."

In alphabetical order, here are my favorite movies….of the decade.
A few notes:
There are no movies on this list from 2009. I actually think that 2009 was a good year for movies–I loved Up, Adventureland, District 9, Up in the Air, and Avatar–but as of now, they're not decade-long favorites yet. Also, my favorite movie of all time–Fight Club–couldn't make the list because I saw it first in 1999. Just thought I should mention it.
The theme of many of these movies is that they successfully transported me to a different world and kept me on the edge of my seat. Most of them tug at my heartstrings every time I watch them. The storytelling in them is near perfect (in my opinion).
What do you think? Are there some that you agree with, some that you don't? What are a few of your top movies of the decade?
Actually, this is a very good list. Old School seems a little out of place though. And I would have WallE before Incredibles.
Thanks :). Different people have different tastes, but these are my favorites. Old School I find compulsively watchable, and I think it has a special place in my heart because seeing it in the theater with a rowdy college group couldn't have made for a better first showing.
I think I need to see Wall-E again. I love it, but it's not even in my top 3 of Pixar films (Incredibles, Monsters Inc, and the original Toy Story). I love every second, every frame, every line, every tiny piece of The Incredibles. I think it's masterful storytelling that builds and builds. Love it.
I could never make such a list, because my mind doesn't work that way. I have to keep my favorites contained. I need bite-size time periods. Aside from Braden and pasta, I don't think I have any constant favorites in my life. (See my blog post "A Week of 2009: Favorites" as evidence. https://mylifeincomplete.com/2009/12/30/a-week-of-2009-favorites/.)
As a parent of a preschooler, I have been privy to many, many viewings of all popular kid movies. I think it's so interesting that The Incredibles made your list because it is one of my least favorite! It's one that Braden knows he's watching alone if he chooses it. I do love Monsters Inc. and Toy Story, though. I also really enjoyed Meet the Robinsons, Flushed Away and WallE. Cars is another one that was awesome the first few times. If I hadn't seen it upward of 100 times, it would be on my list of favorite kid movies as well. And from my own childhood, The Lion King still remains number one on my favorite Disney movies list. Hey, there's another constant!
Really? No love for the Incredibles? Braden has good taste.
I mentioned your awesome list on Twitter the other day–really good stuff.
There you go, breaking the first two rules again.
First two rules?
1st RULE: You do not talk about FIGHT CLUB.
2nd RULE: You DO NOT talk about FIGHT CLUB.
Ha ha…good call 🙂
I just finished reading Seabiscuit yesterday but haven't seen the movie yet. The book was incredible!
If I had to pick a favorite kid movie mine would be Cars, even though I've definitely seen it upwards of 100 times.
Big Fish is one of my favorites from the decade.
The movie is really good too…really good. I cry a bit when I watch it.
My roommate also put Big Fish on his list.
I don't know if I'd call it a favorite movie of the decade, but I rented "The Soloist" with Robert Downey, Jr. and Jamie Foxx over Christmas vacation. Good movie – at times, very touching – although some scenes of the homeless and mentally ill in Los Angeles are pretty disturbing and really got to me. Another one that I rented was "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." It left me a little perplexed. Did you know that it was based off a short story written by F. Scott Fitzgerald in the 1920s?
I'll have to give The Solist a try. I think I overhyped TCCOBB, and although I liked it, I didn't love it. I think it could have been shorter. Like the short story on which it's based. (I haven't read the story, but yes, I've heard of it.)
[…] year was a pretty weak year for movies, so instead of writing a 2009 list, I had a Best of the Decade […]

This is an old revision of the document!
Generating Questions About the Sun and Moon
Student generated questions set the stage for intrinsically motivated student exploration. The nature of the class involves the process of inquiry to frame questions, to generate ideas, and to explore, with the intent of attaining scientific knowledge and understanding. In Physics 111, the students are encouraged to generate questions about the sun and/or the moon that could be addressed through observation. Once the questions have been framed, observations and predictions occur. In time, students make inferences about the "answers" to their questions by pulling the pieces together, discussing, and by making continued predictions and observations.
Common Example Questions:
How does the moon move throughout the day?
- Students would need to make several hourly observations.
How does the moon move over the course of several days?
- Students would need to make several observations at the same time over multiple days.
Student Generated Questions
Fall 2011 student:
During small group disussions, my table desparately wanted to answer the question "Does the moon rise and set just like the sun?" In order to find clues to the answer we sought, the four of us determined a schedule to observe the moon periodically every afternoon and night in one hour intervals. After the experiment, we discovered that although the moon did rise and set like the sun, it was changing its rising and setting times throughout the month.
Not only did we answer our question with these observations, but we also made several other observations including the relationship between the angles of the sun in accordance with the moon and the fact that when the moon is waxing the sun is on the right side while the opposite is true for a waning moon.

i am the sword, the wound, the stain.
scorned transfigured child of cain.
i rend, i end, i return.
again i am the salt, the bitter laugh.
i am the gas in a womb of light, the evening star,
the ball of sight that leads that sheds the tears of christ
dying and drying as i rise tonight.
isabella, we are rising.
isabella, we are rising

The Family History Library Announces 2nd Annual Free Block Party
Salt Lake City, Utah (June 5, 2016)--The Family History Library and the Church History Museum of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will be sponsoring the second annual Family History Block Party on Saturday, June 11, 2016, in downtown Salt Lake City featuring indoor and outdoor activities for the entire family. The event will run from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on West Temple Street from North Temple to South Temple which will be closed to thru traffic. There is no charge to attend, and all activities are family-friendly. The first block party was held last year in 2015 in conjunction with A.J. Jacobs' global family reunion and was a great success.
The Pecos Posse Old West Singers, Touch of Polynesia (Polynesian dancers), and Scottish bagpipes will provide live entertainment. Other free outside attractions include a rock climbing wall, bounce houses, face painting, and participation in pioneer era games, among other activities. There will also be food trucks and snow cones for nominal fees.
The inside activities include 20-minute family history classes, fun Green Screen photo opportunities, free photo scanning of family photos, documents, and artifacts, and family discovery experiences. In the Museum, visitors can find historical characters walking around, test detective skills about mysteries behind artifacts in the Museum, and children can visit the new Tell Me the Stories of Jesus children's exhibit. Toddlers to 12-year-olds will have fun learning through hands-on play and art projects.
"We are hosting this event to help families of all ages discover what a fabulous resource the Family History Library is for those beginning their family history," says Debbie Getler, of the Family History Center. "Our hope is that families will come for the fun, discover something interesting about their ancestors, and return to the library again and again to continue their quest to learn more about their own family story."
Visit the Family History Library Block Party site for more information.

Tight Muscles are often the source of pain. Muscle tension can cause headaches, back pain, stress and much more. An over the counter pain reliever may help the symptoms temporarily subside, but eradicating the source of the pain is the best approach for long term relief. Trying to get rid of muscle knots can take time and a little effort, but the resulting feeling of relief is well worth it. If knotted muscles are causing you pain, take the necessary steps to smooth and work out the knots so that your body can perform at its best level. Removing muscle knots may take repeated efforts and a variety of techniques, depending on personal preferences and what works most effectively for your body. One thing is for sure though; the best way to get rid of muscle tension is to get a massage.
Try visiting a massage therapist that are trained in muscle therapy and know the best techniques for relieving knotted muscles. One approach that therapists use is to apply compression to the muscle and area surrounding it. This causes the muscle to temporarily relax and allow the knot to reduce. Also taking a warm bath helps you and your knotted muscles to relax. Not quite as effective though but still useful is to take a hot shower. Stand so the water stream is focused on the muscles that are bothering you. Stretching and yoga are also effective options for getting rid of muscle spasms. One thing that is also overlooked is regular exercise. Exercise helps keep your muscles healthy and strong. This helps alleviate tension and stress in the muscles.
Last but not least, giving yourself a quick rub down can help reduce those muscle knots. This is especially helpful when you don't have time to come in for a professional massage. Squeezing and rubbing the muscles throughout the body can help alleviate muscle tension. Do this all over your body even for those muscles that don't have knots. You'll most likely feel a noticeable difference afterwards. One method to consider is to roll a tennis ball around the area applying pressure, until you feel the pain of the ball on the muscle knot. Holding the ball in place for about 30 seconds will help the muscle knot to get worked out and relaxed. So the next time you feel knots and just need a quick and easy way to work them out, consider these simple tips. Doing them a couple of times a day can help get rid of those nasty knots and spasms.

Webcam hacking
Authored by a Symantec employee
You might have heard that hackers can access your webcam. In the age of the Internet of Things, that's a pretty scary notion. Not only will hackers be looking through the webcam on your computer, they will also be looking at your home security system and anything else you have hooked up to your network. Think about it -- how far are you from a camera right now? Just about everything has a camera on it these days. So how can you defend yourself from a webcam hacking?
- The most important thing you can do is install a full-service Internet security suite such as Norton Security on your device, and keep it updated regularly. With the right software and current malware definitions, this can do a lot of heavy lifting against all forms of malware, not just viruses.
- Keep your software up to date, as this helps patch vulnerabilities in your software that allow hackers access to your device.
- Your computer probably comes with a firewall, which will prevent unauthorized access to your computer. However, most firewalls need to be turned on. If you've never actively turned on your firewall, do that right now.
- Never click on suspicious links in emails or download files from people you don't know. This is one of the most common ways that hackers gain access to your machine. Only download attachments and click on links in emails from people that you trust. Even then, if something looks suspicious call or text them.
- Don't chat with strangers online. Often times, this is a way to get information out of you that can be used to access your accounts, or to get your trust so that you download a Trojan horse.
- Keep an eye on the indicator light on your laptop. If it starts coming on for no reason, that's a good sign that your system has been compromised.
- Lock down your wireless network. Use a strong, unique password.
- It's important to use a virtual private network for maximum security.
These steps are simple, common sense measures you can use to protect the privacy of your family.

Ground Force Complete Suspension Lowering Kit Reviews
Reviewed by Brian W (Washington, MI) — 2006-04-20 21:11:25
The Ground Force Complete kit with coils, leafs, and shocks was a geat price, and rides great! Install was relatively easy, with seperating the lower ball joints being the only slow down. I do have to say though, living in Michigan, with our not-so-good roads, a mini c-section (notch) will be required to lessen the effects of bottoming out! Otherwise, ths kit is great!!

SW19 supports EMI BRITs after show party
EMI held its annual Brits after show party on board the Silver Fleet's Silver Sturgeon, the most luxurious river cruiser on the Thames. SW19 – the production arm of London's newest rehearsal, production and storage facility - provided both technical and logistical support for the event.
This was the third year running, that the SW19 team had worked with EMI on the party, which welcomed a host of industry figures and artists aboard after the spectacular BRIT Awards Ceremony to celebrate another successful year for EMI's roster of artists, which includes Emeli Sande, Coldplay, Bastille and Noel Gallagher, who were all in attendance.
SW19 worked with EMI's Deby Bunyard and Caroline Hilton to realise their vision for a chic club / bar vibe, elegantly lit and with a distributed zoned audio system throughout the boat.
Legendary DJ David Rodigan set the scene for the party with Fabio Lendrum taking over later in the evening.
The boat was fitted out during the day of the show at its home berth at Wapping Pier, before relocating to The O2's North Greenwich Pier to pick up the guests and made its way to Savoy Pier as the party continued during the evening.
SW19 production manager Kevin Hopgood worked alongside Capital Sound's Mark Jowitt, who was on engineering duty, lighting designer Nick Valdez from Siyan Lighting and Hangman Production's Sam Booker to realise the concept.
"The evening was a resounding success," says Kevin. "And this was a fantastic event to be involved in for our first outing as SW19."

AIM AIR: Missionary Flight Services
Since 1975, AIM AIR has been providing aviation support to Christian individuals and organizations in Eastern and Central Africa. The team, made up of missionary mechanics, avionics technicians, pilots, administrative personnel, and qualified Kenyan staff, operates and maintains a small fleet of Cessna Caravans (seating up to 12 passengers) and Cessna 206s (seating up to 5 passengers).
The Gospel of Matthew 5:13 begins by saying, 'You are the salt of the earth,' which is the inspiration for our catchphrase, 'Hauling Salt.' We are passionate about getting missionaries, the salt of the earth, into the faraway places that need the gospel the most.
Our three main airbases are located in Nairobi, Kenya; Lokichogio, Kenya; and Arua, Uganda. From those airbases, we can safely fly you to nearly every location in eastern and central Africa.
Our team of experienced missionary pilots regularly transports cargo to many locations throughout Central and Eastern Africa.
How We Serve
- Provide safe, reliable, and economical air transport services
- Deliver supplies and mail to remote missionary stations
- Transport children to boarding school
- Conduct medical evacuations
Who We Serve
We serve members of the Africa Inland Mission community, as well as other evangelical missionaries, church workers, and Christian relief and development agencies.
The Avionics Radio Base team is an FAA-certified and Kenyan-licensed repair station that is a vital part of the ministry of AIM AIR.
How We Serve
- Maintain and repair any electrical piece on AIM AIR's aircrafts
- Provide electrical repair for individuals (sound equipment, UPS devices, televisions, phones, etc.) for a small fee
- Arrange for parts to be sent out to missionaries via an AIM AIR flight
Who We Serve
The Avionics department primarily serves AIM AIR's fleet of airplanes. On a case by case basis, we can provide electrical repairs for individual members of the Africa Inland Mission community.
How We Serve
The maintenance department for AIM AIR is both U.S. and Kenya registered to be a repair station for in-house airplanes. The skilled crew of five missionary and nine Kenyan mechanics work to keep AIM AIR's fleet of Caravans and 206s in the best working order so that our pilots can continue to efficiently serve the missionary community.
Who We Serve
We serve the AIM AIR fleet exclusively.
Tom Brown, General Manager

With the clocks going back an hour, the 2011 Halloween Allnighter finished so early that not only were the tube stations still closed, there weren't even any coffee shops open to keep warm and/or kill the time.
So I spent a miserable hour wandering the abandoned streets like Cillian Murphy in 28 Days Later. It felt, frankly, like bad planning and wasn't a good end to the night (neither was The Watermen, but that's another discussion...)
It'll be exactly the same this year, presumably.
Wouldn't it be possible to do something about this? A slightly later start time, perhaps (too late to change now, I know, but hey, the fight over the unallocated seats might kill some time)? Slightly longer gaps between films? Longer films? Or maybe an extra film? I know that would cost something, but it doesn't have to be anything high-profile, could be any old shit to be honest. Any thoughts?
Allnighter Finishing Time
Have your say on what you would like to see new, changed or just kept the same at the next FrightFest.

Re: Allnighter Finishing Time
Agreed. having to spend an hour waiting for the tubes to open is really the last thing anyone wants to do after being awake all night - maybe the vue could open there coffee stand for a bit afterwards?

Wyatt (Gaelan Connell), Dante (Connor del Rio) and Lyle (Jessie T. Usher) are top gamers in their favorite online game Conqueror of All Worlds. They've defeated trolls, squashed barbarians, annihilated ghouls and trashed everything else the game can throw at them. But it's a whole new experience battling their online foes IRL (in real life)! Now the boys, along with their classmate Angie (Aimee Carrero) must "level up" in order to deal with high school life while protecting their town. And all without a cheat code! Max Ross (Lonny Ross) is the multi-millionaire genius and eccentric game creator who helps the kids out on their real world quests.
Level Up (www.CartoonNetwork.com/LevelUp) is created by executive producers Derek Guiley and David Schneiderman (both credited for Chasing Liberty). Peter Murrieta (Wizards of Waverly Place, Hope and Faith) serves as the executive producer and show-runner for the series.

NHS Care
NHS Care – "The NHS provides all the treatment necessary to secure and maintain your preventative care. There are some treatments (mainly cosmetic) that are not normally available under the NHS and you may choose to have these provided privately. You may also choose to have some treatment provided privately as an alternative to NHS treatment. The dentist will discuss these options with you so that you can make an informed choice."
