It is reasonable to expect the road network to operate efficiently. People must get to work and school, trade must be facilitated and business costs kept to a minimum, shops have to be able to stock their shelves, the city must be open to tourists and our world renowned festivals have to be catered for.
To understand the traffic challenge facing the city, it must be appreciated that the city's car ownership has increased threefold – and is still growing – since the 1980s on a road network that has remained substantially the same. In that time, the network has come under severe strain, yet we expect to be able to drive to school, shops, work or wherever without any delay and park at the door of our destination. Is this a reasonable expectation? Can you continue to allow more and more traffic onto the network without consequences? It is after all a medieval city with four river crossings and only one of those catering for major traffic volumes.
So what's the solution? The solution is a combination of infrastructural improvements and a 'modal shift' away from cars to walking, cycling and public transport.
Infrastructural improvement is the easy part, yet the removal of the N6 roundabouts generated one of the most interesting and animated public debates of recent years. All the engineering and technical analysis and data pointed to traffic lights being safer and more efficient. But there was an understandable fear of change.
In the aftermath of the removal of the Moneenageisha roundabout, it was hard to persuade the business and retail sector that city traffic would continue to flow during construction. It was also difficult to surmount public perception, which held that traffic kept moving at a roundabout whereas you had to stop at a red light. The public debate centred around perception rather than the technical and engineering analysis. It was 'driven' by single occupant car owners frustrated at congestion but unaware that they could be part of the problem. There was little traction for the merits of making junctions safer for pedestrians and cyclists and even less for providing priority for public transport or easing the 'rat-running' issues in local neighbourhoods.
Against that background, Council Members deserve great credit for approving the proposals that to-date has seen the removal of three roundabouts – with a fourth currently underway – and their replacement with signalised junctions and all connected to a central traffic control room in City Hall. All sectors of the city have benefited from those decisions.
With the lights and Traffic Control Room, the council is no longer dealing in perception. We now have the data to demonstrate improved efficiency, even beyond our original expectation. At Brierhill, there has been a 30 per cent increase in throughput through the junction during peak morning and evening traffic and journey times have dramatically reduced. Motorist too have voted with their wheels and have diverted from their established 'rat-runs' and use of minor roads to the N6, which can cater for far greater volumes.
The council now has a state-of-the-art tool available for the benefit of the city as demonstrated by the most efficient traffic management plan ever implemented for the Galway Racing Festival in August. Working with the Gardaí, we used information from CCTV, Gardaí on the ground and the Traffic Control Room to intervene and regulate traffic flows around the venue. It was an overwhelming success and will be built on in future years.
So if the debate on roundabouts was easy, what then are the difficult decisions coming our way?
The public debate on infrastructural improvements will continue where scarce road space is being given over to other uses, such as Bus or Cycle Lanes, pedestrianisation and shared surfaces. Some will look to the construction of the Galway City Outer Bypass as the panacea. It's not! It's only part of the solution. Others will look to a Park & Ride. Again, it's only a part. Using parking charges as a tool to control the amount of cars coming into the city will also generate heated debate, as will a Freight Management Plan to regulate times for the goods vehicles to access the city, thus freeing up space for other road users.
But the most difficult part will be winning the hearts and minds – both at a corporate and individual level – and changing the culture. If I come into the city in my car when there are alternatives, then I'm part of the problem. Walking, cycling and public transport are options that I should be exploring for myself and not expecting them to apply to everyone but me. By choosing an alternative, I'm then part of the solution.
When we change the culture, then we can truly say we have created a Sustainable Transport City. Let the debate begin.

At Sociëteit Vastgoed, we share one common denominator: We meet and connect at Sociëteit Vastgoed since we are well aware that networking is fundamental to the success of any real estate business.
The stronger our relationships, the better a leader we will be, the stronger we build our organization and our future.
Building relationships
We deliver and provide at least 20 times a year well organized and full serviced meetings such as masterclasses and network meetings, diner parties and executives lunches, a sailing regatta, seminars and a golf contest. We also organize special member meetings at MIPIM, PROVADA and EXPO REAL.
Reputation: A solid real estate investment network can significantly fast-track the status of new investors and developers and promote their position as an expert within the community. Regularly attending events and helping others will not only generate attention among their peers, but will boost their reputation as a reliable and knowledgeable real estate professional.
The benefits
- Better Relationships: By regularly engaging and assisting your contacts in their goals, you'll not only strengthen the relationship, but form a trust that could be reciprocated down the road when the time is right. Networking is all about sharing, and it's important for professionals to focus on building quality relationships within the industry.

We build new relationships by diversifying our networks at Sociëteit Vastgoed since we are aware that effective relationships in business require reciprocity.

Good working relationships
Good working relationships give us several other benefits: our work is more enjoyable when we have good relationships with those around us. Also, people are more likely to go along with changes that we want to implement, and we're more innovative and creative. What's more, good relationships give us freedom: instead of spending time and energy overcoming the problems associated with negative relationships, we can, instead, focus on opportunities.
What we do
- Access: Our real estate network presents new opportunities for business, career advancement and personal growth. In addition, the likelihood of being personally introduced to relevant people is very promising, with potential for referrals down the road.
- Support: For real estate professionals, one of the biggest advantages of networking is gaining insight and advice from experienced business relations. In return, receiving support and guidance from experienced investors, developers and financiers who understand what you're going through can be invaluable.
Being part of this real estate investment network is one of the most powerful tools real estate professionals can boast

Jennifer Cutting on keyboards, Grace Griffith on the center mike and Lisa Moscatiello waiting to harmonize as Ocean Orchestra played at Borders in Silver Spring the night of the release party for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Jennifer Cutting's Ocean Orchestra was giving a free concert of songs from Ocean.
This is Jennifer Cutting's Ocean Orchestra the night before, playing outdoors at the Lubber Run Amphitheatre in Virginia, where they paraded in to bagpipes and carried a banner featuring the sea.
Jennifer is so lovely onstage and off that I had to take a picture of her at the table at Borders where she was signing CDs.
Also, she can play the button accordion and I love her clothes.
The fiddle player rocks as well.
But what all the kids really loved were the bagpipes!
And how often do you get a guy in a Potomac Celtic Festival t-shirt at your concert next to a wizard?
We stuck around Borders for over an hour after the concert because they were supposed to have an uplink to a feed of J.K. Rowling reading from the new novel on those screens -- Silver Spring was one of only three Borders in the US to have such footage -- but they couldn't get their video working, and the kids were tired and cranky, so finally we bowed to pressure and left.
Here's the lineup of kids waiting to get Sorted and have lightning bolts painted on their foreheads.
And Borders and the multiplex from across the street. I just thought the lights were pretty.

Bee Extermination In New Jersey & New York
While bees and wasps are considered beneficial insects in the wild, when they take up residence in your home or business, they pose a number of threats. If you've encountered a nest or hive in your New Jersey or New York City property, contact Horizon Pest Control for a free consultation.
Types of Bees and the Harm They Bring
Throughout New Jersey and New York, there are a handful of bee species that are considered pests. Learn more about the threat each one brings below:
- Bumblebees – Measuring an inch or less in size, bumblebees have distinct black and yellow markings and a fuzzy appearance. Since bumblebees rarely nest in structures, it's unlikely that you'll find them inside your home. However, they may nest right outside a window or door. While they don't cause structural damage, they can sting.
- Carpenter Bees – Between a half-inch and inch in size, carpenter bees closely resemble bumblebees, except that the top of their abdomen is mostly bare and shiny. They don't nest or colonize. Instead, they bore into wood, preferring rotting wood to newly painted wood. As you can imagine, carpenter bees can deal significant structural damage. And while male carpenter bees have no stinger, female carpenter bees do.
- Honeybees – Smaller than most bumblebees and carpenter bees, honeybees are orangish-brown or black in color. Honeybees live as colonies in hives, and mature colonies can contain anywhere from 20,000 to 80,000 bees. They've been known to build new hives under eaves and in walls. Honeybees are not considered aggressive, but they will attack if a threat is detected.
- Hornets and Wasps – There are many species of wasps, but the three most commonly encountered in NJ homes and NYC businesses are paper wasps, yellow jackets and hornets. All three make nests from a paper-like material. The nests can be found on porch ceilings, door frames, eaves, floor joints, railings and walls. Wasps and hornets are much more aggressive than bees, so it's important to exercise caution if you encounter a nest.
Make the Call to Horizon Pest Control
Horizon prides itself on providing fast, effective extermination services to residences and commercial businesses in New Jersey & New York. If you need a bee exterminator, rely on our decades of experience in the pest control industry. Got bees? We've got the remedy. Call us at 1-888-612-2847 to discuss your needs.

During this so-called Single Awareness Day a.k.a St.Valentine's Day, there some folks who posted Valentine's-Day-themed pics here and there. Well, we gathered a few interesting pics out of those, and you can see them after the break. ^^
Tag Archives: greeting
Happy Birthday, Megurine Luka!
Yep, Vocaloid2's Megurine Luka was officially released on this day, three years ago. As a fan of her, I thought I should post a special greeting for Luka-san, just as I did last year. ^^

We are already at the end of 2011. Yep, today is New Year's Eve, where we usually gather up with our family for the last feast of the year, and preparing resolution for the next year (if any XD). Allow us to put a famous quote by Bill Vaughan:
"An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves."
Well then, are we optimists or pessimists? XD
In any case, we would like to say HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012 to you all, Nendonesian! Thank you for your support to Nendonesia throughout 2011. Let's have a lot of Nendo-fun again on 2012! ^^

After four days of deliberation, a jury in the Northern District of California awarded $539 million in damages to Apple. Apple and Samsung later announced a settlement of all remaining patent litigation between them.
Achieving a stunning victory in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York for former London-based foreign exchange (FX) trader Rohan Ramchandani after a two-week jury trial. Ramchandani, who was indicted by US prosecutors on charges of engaging in illegal price-fixing in the FX markets in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act, faced a sentence of up to 10 years in prison had he been convicted.
Obtaining a significant trademark victory for BRP in a case brought against it by Jaguar Land Rover Limited concerning BRP's Can-Am Defender utility-recreation side-by-side. Land Rover sued BRP, seeking $130 million in damages and alleging that BRP's Can-Am Defender infringed Land Rover's US trademark rights on "Defender." After an eight-day trial, a jury in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan rejected Land Rover's infringement claim.
Achieving a significant victory for Intel Corporation in a $2 billion patent infringement suit brought by AVM Technologies. The six-day jury trial held in the US District Court for the District of Delaware resulted in a finding of no infringement on eight asserted claims.
Obtaining a victory at the Federal Circuit for Braintree Laboratories, Inc. when the appeals court reversed a district court's grant of summary judgment of noninfringement for Breckenridge Pharmaceutical. Breckenridge filed an Abbreviated New Drug Application to market a generic copy of Braintree's colon-cleanse product SUPREP, and Braintree filed suit for patent infringement. The appeals court concluded that Breckenridge's generic copy would infringe because the claims of Braintree's patent covered the means to achieve FDA-approved use.
Defending former Thornburg Mortgage CEO Larry Goldstone and CFO Clarence Simmons III against claims that they schemed to defraud investors and mislead their auditors. Following a three-week trial, the jury cleared both on half of the 10 claims they faced, and deadlocked in the defendants' favor on the remaining five, resulting in the US Securities and Exchange Commission's first loss at trial since 2014. The SEC then dismissed the remaining claims, rather than face a retrial.
Achieving a significant victory for the National Collegiate Athletic Association when a jury in Massachusetts returned a defense verdict after a seven-day libel trial in which the plaintiff sought $25 million in damages.
Achieving a victory in the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals for The Boeing Company and United Launch Services LLC. Following three weeks of trial and substantial post-trial briefing, the board agreed with petitioners on all litigated issues and held that the Air Force was obligated to pay new prices for the launch of three GPS satellites into space.
Achieving a complete victory for TransUnion Risk and Alternative Data Solutions after six days of trial when the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida issued a declaratory judgment holding that TRADS owns all the intellectual property it paid $154 million to acquire, enjoining the defendants from using TRADS' IP, and awarding attorneys' fees and costs.
Representing Ford Motor Company in a four-patent trial related to collision avoidance and infotainment technology in the Western District of Washington (the jury found in favor of our client and found the plaintiffs and their CEO had misappropriated Ford's trade secrets).
Obtaining a win for Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Takeda) when a Federal Circuit panel held that a Delaware federal court had erred in ruling that a Millennium cancer drug patent was invalid as obvious over prior art in its infringement litigation against a number of generic-drug companies. This Hatch-Waxman matter involved a patent owned by the US government and exclusively licensed to Takeda covering the latter's blockbuster oncology drug Velcade®. Generic drug manufacturers including Sandoz filed ANDAs seeking to market generic versions of Velcade and Takeda filed suit for patent infringement in the US District Court for the District of Delaware. In reversing the lower court's ruling, the appeals court found that the asserted claims were directed to the mannitol ester of bortezomib—"a new compound with distinct chemical properties"—and that these claims were not obvious.
Obtaining a significant victory in the US District Court for the District of New Jersey for Braintree Laboratories, Inc. Following a three-day bench trial, US District Judge Peter Sheridan found that Braintree proved by a preponderance of the evidence that the proposed generic product of defendant Novel Laboratories, Inc. would infringe the five asserted claims of Braintree's patent if marketed and sold.
Securing a complete victory for GoDaddy.com when the US District Court for the Central District of California concluded that GoDaddy acted with a good faith belief that its use of multiple challenged domain names by the plaintiff was a fair use or otherwise lawful.
Securing, after only one partial day of testimony, a full dismissal of all criminal charges against client David Ard, a regional sales manager for Stryker Biotech. Ard had been charged with conspiracy to defraud the FDA and commit wire fraud, as well as wire fraud, in connection with the alleged off-label promotion of medical devices distributed by his former employer. The government moved to dismiss all charges against Ard with prejudice, stating that it was "in the interest of justice" to do so. The government also stated on record that it did not consider Ard a co-conspirator.

Hypertension refers to a condition of elevated blood pressure. It has been called "the silent killer" because it usually doesn't cause symptoms for many years -- until a vital organ is damaged. The number of Americans who have high blood pressure is estimated to be more than 50 million. More Americans than ever have hypertension and the number has risen by nearly a third over the past decade. Being heavy goes hand-in-hand with having hypertension, especially for women. There are many effective drugs that treat hypertension, however, it is also a good idea to keep in mind that natural options are also available that could reduce blood pressure.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- MoveOn.org has its sights set on U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole's unexpectedly competitive contest for re-election in North Carolina, spending nearly half a million dollars on an ad accusing the North Carolina senator and fellow Republican John McCain of being "in the pocket of Big Oil."
"We could have provided clean energy for a million homes ... or reduced our dependence on foreign oil," the announcer says. "Instead, John McCain and Elizabeth Dole allowed big oil companies to keep $13.5 billion in tax breaks."
Dole, who has $2.7 million in her campaign war chest to state Sen. Kay Hagan's $1.6 million, was thought to be a safe bet for re-election but finds herself in a tough fight.
Polls in North Carolina show that Dole holds a single-digit percentage point lead over her challenger.
The 30-second TV spot, "Pocket," is MoveOn's first Senate race ad this cycle, according to communications director Ilyse Hogue. She added that MoveOn has no plans to use similar versions of the ad in other states but has not ruled out the possibility as the nation's energy woes continue to top the priority list this campaign season. Watch the ad
Dole campaign spokesman Dan McLagan downplayed the potential statewide impact of the MoveOn buy, saying Dole had been hit with a million dollars in outside spending, "and they are welcome to spend more. That dog ain't gonna hunt down here. These are the same surrender monkeys that called for a peaceful response to the 9/11 attacks that killed nearly 3,000 Americans. Their credibility in North Carolina is pretty low."
Dole, who was the first woman to to be elected to the Senate in North Carolina, was also the first woman to lead the National Republican Senatorial Committee, serving from 2005-07. Dole was replaced by Sen. John Ensign of Nevada after the Republicans lost control of the Senate in 2006.
MoveOn isn't the only outside group targeting Dole this cycle. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spent $6 million on an ad targeting the North Carolina senator.
On the presidential level, North Carolina -- which hasn't gone for a Democratic presidential candidate since southerner Jimmy Carter in 1976 -- is leaning toward presumed Republican nominee McCain in CNN's latest analysis of the Electoral College.
But Barack Obama's campaign has made it clear that it considers North Carolina to be a battleground state and has launched an ambitious effort to bring Democrats, particularly newly registered black voters, to the polls in November.
The resources being lavished on the presidential race are expected to translate into gains for Democrats further down the ticket, including Hagan.
"North Carolina is a state that is a hotly contested Senate race and also within striking distance of becoming a presidential battleground state," Hogue said.
"There is certainly a buzz on the ground," said Hagan's campaign press secretary, Dave Hoffman. He added that Hagan would hit the campaign trial with Obama this fall.
The MoveOn ad, airing in Raleigh, Charlotte and Asheville, will coincide with 130 events across the country to "show the local economic impact of John McCain's tax give-away to Big Oil," according to the group.

@FantasyRundown that's a heck of an idea!
— Fantasy Assembly (@fantasyassembly) April 10, 2014
I'm not sure whether to thank Goose over at FantasyRundown.com, or to ask him for the 100+ hours of my life back.
This is it, the final product after months of grueling work and effort, the 2015 MiLB Prospect Grid with over 1,500 prospects. This tool isn't just for those in deep leagues with minor league systems and can be of use to those in redraft leagues.
The purpose of the grid is to:
- help identify prospects that can help your team at each position
- help identify which prospects are nearest to a big league promotion
- help identify which prospects are most likely to produce the best fantasy numbers
The prospect grid will allow you to sort players based by their team, position, offensive ceiling as well as their proximity to the majors.
Remember this is not a rankings piece. I have not seen video on each of these players, nor have I done the same level of research on every single player listed that would be required for those types of pieces. This is a quick tool to show a large number of prospects and help spotlight players that may give immediate or long-term fantasy value.
I used too many resources to list, but special thanks to fangraphs.com, rosterresource.com, and thebaseballcube.com
As always, feel free to leave comments or suggestions below.
If you are looking for prospect rankings, I will be rolling them out starting in January. If you can't wait, visit Fantasy Rundown where Goose has been compiling prospect rankings from the top sources as well as rankings for the 2015 season

How To Choose a Roofing Contractor
Posted in Contractors, Roof
Choosing a residential roofing contractor can be stressful; after all, you're deciding who will repair or replace the very roof over your head. To help make the decision easier, here are several things to look for when comparing firms offering similar services.
The proof, as they say, is in the pudding, and perhaps the best way to predict how well a roofing contractor will do when replacing or repairing your roof is to look at the previous jobs they've completed. Great roofing contractors offer references to their prospective clients. They're not trying to hide anything; rather, they want to show off the high-quality work they've done.
Ace Home Improvements, for instance, makes available literally thousands of references to those considering working with them. Additionally, seeing if a company is endorsed by established consumer groups such as the Better Business Bureau is always a good idea.
Roofing is not a one-size-fits-all craft. Good roofing contractors offer a variety of options when it comes to materials and products so that their customers end up with a roof that looks great and provides protection from the elements. Look for contractors who make it clear that they use established and trusted brands such as IKO, CertainTeed and GAF. Also, if you don't know exactly what you want, ask questions. A roofing contractor worth choosing will take the time and have the patience to answer them promptly and clearly.
In conclusion, while choosing a roofing contractor can seem overwhelming because of how important the work is and how many companies are out there, following the guidelines above should make it easier. Be confident knowing that by doing your homework you can hire the right roofer.
Easy to Work With
A great roofing contractor understands the importance of making the roofing experience as convenient as possible for its customers. For example, Ace Home Improvements, a roofing contractor odenton md works around their clients' schedules to set up an appointment times for consultations.
Residential roofing work, from minor repairs to total replacements, requires the contractor to enter their clients' private spaces, and the best ones strive to cause as little disturbance as possible. Look for contractors who emphasize making the entire experience easy and hassle-free for their customers.

This is a totally free dog obedience training course in a 4-part video series called, "The Easy Way to an Obedient Dog."

To read my complete review of The Online Dog Trainer, click here:
The Easy Way to an Obedient Dog
I've been promoting Doggy Dan's online dog training website, The Online Dog Trainer, on this website for several years now. Doggy Dan is the real deal. He has years of experience as both a professional dog trainer and a behavior specialist. His website contains more than 300 step-by-step training videos on how to train your dog. I honestly can't think of a better way to learn dog training than to watch video after video of a professional dog trainer working directly with dogs and their owners. It's truly the best, most effective dog training there is!
What I Like About Doggy Dan
What I love most about Doggy Dan's online dog training website is the fact that it doesn't teach you "tricks" on how to train your dog. His training methods get right to the core of dog training – and that's learning how your dog thinks. If you know why dogs do what they do, then you're much better able to train them in a way that they can understand. Your dog needs you to be in charge of him. He needs you to lead the way, be the boss, make all the decisions – so that he can relax and just enjoy his little doggie life, without the stress of feeling like he has to be in charge. It's called Pack Leader Training, and Doggy Dan does the most amazing job explaining and teaching this concept. He even gives you "Doggy Dan's 5 Golden Rules" for pack leader training that you can print and put on your fridge for the whole family to follow!
It's Free to Try
Go ahead and do the free video training course. It won't cost you anything to try it. Just check it out, and you'll quickly see how Doggy Dan's training methods can make training your dog super fast and easy.
I Donate to Animal Charities
I donate 10% of all commissions I earn on this website to animal charities. You can see a list of animal charities I donate to HERE. If this website has been helpful to you, please consider sharing it with your friends who love their dogs. Every visit to this website helps animals! Thanks so much. Debra

Mostly lost in all the noise and news about Apple Watch this month is the all new MacBook line. Yeah, that's right. Apple introduced a new MacBook that sits somewhere between the entry-level MacBook Air models and the MacBook Pro.
I'm in the market for a new Mac notebook, and I've put off the purchase until Apple unveiled what I thought was on the way– a Retina display MacBook Air. Instead, Apple introduced a new MacBook (no Air, but it's lighter than Air; pun intended) and it's totally lust-worthy.
Light, Fast, Thin, Beautiful
At my age and size there's nothing any longer that can be called light, fast, thin, or, well, maybe aging beautifully would apply. That's about it.
MacBook is beautiful, light at 2-pounds, thinner than thin, and very fast. The keyboard is new, flatter, and takes some getting used to.
Apple's new Force Touch trackpad is to die for, and the 12-inch Retina display makes this the most portable of Macs. It comes with enough RAM to start, a few CPU options, and large storage space if you need it.
MacBook is so thin it feels like the screen edge could cut cheese while the single USB-C port makes you wonder if some engineer at Apple was busy cutting cheese when the specifications were drawn up. One, lonely, solitary USB port. Invest your money in dongles.
This new Mac doesn't even have a fan. It's mostly screen, keyboard, and battery, and Apple tinkered with some innards so the SSD is screaming fast. For the intended user, MacBook is digital glitter personified. But all that glitters isn't gold. MacBook is not for the average MacBook Air or MacBook Pro user.
Why? MacBook is more expensive than an entry-level MacBook Air, and less powerful and less capable than a new 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display for almost the same money. For any Mac user who requires lighter than light, multiple colors, thinner than thin, but with a screen to die for, the new MacBook is it. Write, read, browse, view photos, play music, dink around a bit in Garageband, even create a little movie, but don't expect a powerhouse Mac in a glittering gold package that performs admirably while bouncing between Adobe Creative Suite and Final Cut Pro X.
My only wish is that the new 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display also came in gold.

You're also offered the chance to market online courses and digital downloads on a one time foundation.

Templates and Design
As we spoke about briefly, the templates are preset for Producing your checkout, sales page, membership webpages, and track webpages the best they could be. The good news is that it's one of the easiest design processes I've ever noticed.
Your course material, and all of other modules you put On your website, are coordinated for you. Furthermore, the preset templates look beautiful.
I would say this is going to frustrate some specialist Developers who need complete control over their layout environment. However, it is still a wonderful solution for all skills levels because of how quickly the Podia builder puts together your website.
Benefits of Use
Since Podia is provided to you for 30 days without Any charge card, it offers you an opportunity to play around with the tools and find out how easy it's to use.
I'd assert that Podia gets the perfect user-experience For beginners, intermediates, and advanced users. It seems sensible that a number of developers would like to utilize Magento or WordPress for more sophisticated features, but I truly don't see the point if you're only planning to make something like a membership or online course website.
The hosting is contained, and the dash is fitted with Some enjoyable and easy to understand steps for making your website. So, if I wished to make an online course, I'd begin with this Online Course button.
Then, Nearly All the attributes are merged on 1 page, with a couple of tabs to your sales page, settings, and earnings. It shows the amount of sales you have currently earned, and you'll be able to click the Preview button to have a peek at your site.
The Main buttons comprise the options to Insert Documents, Insert A Link, and Insert Text. That's pretty much it. I know for a fact that some folks will not be that pleased with all the limited design alternatives, but that's kind of the purpose of Podia. It cuts back on the complicated process of building an internet course or membership website, and it's all done by providing you a gorgeous theme to start off with.
The payments are processed through either PayPal or Stripe. It is possible to choose. How To Sell Elearning Courses Online
Although this is extremely restricted, Stripe and PayPal Cover a huge array of countries. You should not have any problems with the fees or solutions.
Marketing is built in with the email advertising module. This sends everything out from course upgrades to email newsletters. What is cool is that you can brand them into the best of your ability and select whether you'd like to send out the manual or automated messaging. The drip content is configured to the automated end of all things.
Additionally, a sales page is provided for listing a Item description, headline, and cover photograph. I enjoy this for men and women who want to link from ads on Google and Facebook. Feel free to upload a debut video and make an FAQ region. You are able to integrate your shopping cart and email marketing as well.
The Client Support
One drawback of Podia is that the lack of phone support. You have the option to email Podia or go through the 24/7 live chat place. The Shaker program even gets onboarding and migration assistance if you intend on moving from a different platform.
Together with a site, documentation and also a Resources page, Podia support is about as good as it can get without call support.
Your Podia checkout is protected by Stripe and PayPal. Podia does not collect any information when among your clients goes through the checkout, and also the checkout pages are totally protected. The transactions are sent through an encryption process and shielded by 128-bit SSL encryption technologies.
I'd like to see some fraud security, because Membership and online course websites often see people attempting to video game the system.
One advantage is that both pricing plans have SSL Certificates for locking down trade security.
Application Procedure
Setting up a Podia accounts is simple and largely surprise-free. You are going to have to connect to a Stripe (see our review) accounts to allow memberships, however.
Project Qualifications
If you set up a Podia account, you will be able to start Selling memberships, digital courses, and electronic downloads as soon as you complete the account setup procedure. Podia's terms of service prohibit copyright infringement, misleading/fraudulent articles, spamming, and libel.
The TOS also lay out a policy contrary to Substance that"includes or depicts nudity, contains or depicts sexual activity, or is otherwise unsuitable as determined by us at our sole discretion" This would seem to preclude all content that could be considered"adult" This is a bit curious, considering Podia promotes itself as a creator-attuned alternate to Patreon, which will allow some kinds of mature content. At least in this respect, Podia is much more restrictive of founders than Patreon, not less.
Customer Service &Technical Support
Podia offers a Series of articles to help you through various aspects of using the service. In terms of direct assistance, Podia offers email support and live chat. In reality, Podia's creator offered to meet up with me in the NYC area once I signed up for this ceremony!
Sales & Advertising Transparency
Podia Discloses relevant information about its services on its site, and the data looks comprehensive and complete. How To Sell Elearning Courses Online
Favorable Reviews & Testimonials
The Aforementioned video review of Podia was quite favorable general, praising the layout, aesthetics, and community-building characteristics of this system.
Negative Reviews & Complaints
I could not find much in the Means of feedback regarding Podia. Among the only reviews I could discover online — a video review submitted to YouTube — noted that unlike some rival platforms, Podia doesn't allow for several writers within a single account. Another review mentioned that the platform"isn't the cheapest solution out there."
As mentioned, the Podia system provides a 30-day Free trial without needing to type in your credit card information. What's more is that in the event that you update to an actual plan within five days of starting your free trial, then a 15% lifetime discount is thrown onto your own plan.
Annual and monthly billing programs are revealed, so naturally, If you pay for Podia on a yearly basis you are likely to find a better monthly fee.
Although Podia isn't the most economical way to make an Online shop, the pricing is not bad at all. In addition, it makes up for the cost with the wonderful features and simple user interface.
1 thing I like about Podia is that it only has two Pricing plans. Consequently, you're not confused when attempting to figure out which characteristics you need to cover.
Here is what's available in terms of pricing.
The Mover Plan — $33 a month for most basic Podia attributes and drip course material.
The Shaker Plan — $67 per month for most basic Podia features, innovative visitors, onboarding, migration support, drip class content, affiliates, and memberships.
All plans have the next.
0 percent transaction fee to Podia. This doesn't include the fee you will need to cover Indices or PayPal.

This is a totally refreshing take on one of summer's classics. Delicious ripe peaches are blended together with black tea and sugar, along with a little lemon juice to lift the peachy taste of the fruit. Lemon juice enhances the taste of fruits similar to what salt does for savories. You won't taste the lemon, but you will really taste the peach.
1. Steep the tea bag with the hot water for 3 minutes. Discard the tea bag.
2. Puree the hot tea with the diced peaches until smooth. Stir in the lemon juice and sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Add the cold water. Taste for sweetness. Pour into a 9- by 9-inch baking pan. Cover and put into the freezer.
3. After 1 hour, using a fork, scrape the frozen top layer. Scrape and break any chunks into pieces. Continue to scrape every 15 to 20 minutes until the granita has a fluffy, snowy consistency – about 2 hours. Eat immediately or keep for 3 days in the freezer, scraping every so often.
Ann's Tips and Tricks
If you are on a neutropenic or anti-microbial diet, you can lightly poach the diced peach in a tablespoon of water before adding it, along with its juices, to the tea.
If you use loose-leaf tea like I do, just make a pot of your favorite and measure out ¾ cup through a strainer.

Watermark is a documentary feature film about Buckland Mill, the historical paper mill in Dover. It was produced by Dover Arts Development (DAD) and part-funded by the Kent Film Office through the Kent Development Fund.
The preview took place on 6th March 2012 at and the audience included various people involved in making the film; the Vice Chairman of Dover
District Council and the Town Mayor, as well as many former Mill employees.
Cllr Paul Le Chevalier said "I would like to congratulate DAD and everyone connected with the production of the excellent film Watermark. I found it to be an exceptionally interesting piece of social history, highlighting the importance of Buckland Paper Mill to the people of Dover. The mixture of archive pictures and real interviews really brought it to life".
The Mayor said "I thought the film was absolutely brilliant, a wonderful piece of social history and it's a pity we haven't got more of this type of work to keep for future generations".
The 90-minute film was written and edited by Marianne Kapfer and Dominic de Vere. It has an original soundtrack that was composed by Robert Jarvis. The documentary explores the history of the mill that was closed in 2000 and resulted in 300 job loses.
Screen South, the region's creative development agency for film said that Watermark was "One of the stand-out success stories of the region". Dr Tim Strangleman, Professor in Sociology at the University of Kent, calls it "A filmic paean to work and working class culture: richly evocative, thought provoking and profoundly moving."
There will be another screening of the film on May 9th 2012 at 4pm at The Gulbenkian in Canterbury.

- Stewardship 2019 – How to Pledge
- Stewardship 2019 – Questions and Answers
- Stewardship 2019 Videos – Why is UUCC important to you?
- Introduction
- Why Pledge?
- Where Do Your Pledge Dollars Go?
- Considering Your Pledge Amount
- Submitting Your Pledge
- Stewardship Team Members
As we spend the year considering "Loaded Words," we are reminded that words are how we write the poetry of our dreams and desires to make the world a more just and caring place. Words speak truth to power, speak up for those who have no voice, and declare hope in a time of division and hate – thus, this year's stewardship theme, "Speak Hope, Share Love."
The stewardship campaign challenges each of us to speak our hopes and share the love of a community that is made more whole by our actions to realize those hopes. As in previous years, our primary goal is to receive pledges from 100% of those who consider UUCC a spiritual home – both members and friends of the congregation. Pledging is not an exercise in brinkmanship that risks your financial future, but instead asks you to live within your means to support the work of this church that plays a role in your spiritual journey and practice. Guidelines for giving can be found on the reverse side of the pledge card and online.
Why Pledge?
Pledges enable us to plan a realistic budget. While cash donations in the offering basket are greatly appreciated and are used to help support the church and its causes, they are unpredictable – so we rely on the pledge commitments of our community of members and friends to set our budget. Your pledge will be for our upcoming fiscal year – July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020.
Where Do Your Pledge Dollars Go?
Pledges made during the stewardship campaign constitute about 90% of church income. The remainder comes from pledges made at other times, undesignated Sunday offerings, facility rentals and fund-raisers.
In the 2018-2019 fiscal year ending June 30, we have budgeted $348,558.
For the 2019-2020 fiscal year starting July 1, we project spending needs of about $365,000, which will allow us to:
- Enhance funding of our exciting music programming.
- More fully fund new ministries including Adult R.E., the Accessibility and Inclusion Ministry Team, the Sanctuary Team, and more.
- Meet the rising costs of health insurance for our staff.
The pie chart at right shows the proportions of our projected 2019-2020 budget that will go to worship, religious education and ministries. Each category includes associated staff, administrative and facilities expenses.
Considering Your Pledge Amount
The amount you pledge is your personal decision based on your financial resources and needs. The Stewardship Team asks that you consider the UUCC Fair Share Guidelines you will find on the back of this year's pledge cards and online.
Most of our members are able to contribute on a regular basis, and many households already pledge at the suggested levels. For those who do not, we ask you to work toward meeting the guidelines over time. For newer members and friends, we ask that you consider pledging an amount that reflects a serious commitment to the church you have chosen as your spiritual home.
We estimate that we can meet our dollar target if current pledgers will increase their pledges by 5% to 15% and if new pledgers will pledge at least $30 per month.
Submitting Your Pledge
Pledge cards, available in the Greeting Area, can be turned in at the stewardship table, placed in the offering plate, given to any Stewardship Team member or the church administrator, or mailed to the church.
You can also pledge online by clicking the button below:

Opinion on climate change damage litigation in newspaper Trouw
Reading recommendation
Today, Laura Burgers published an opinion on litigation on climate change damages against corporations in the Dutch newspaper Trouw. Although litigation is unlikely to solve the problem of climate change, litigation against corporations may further the democratic debate.
A possible action might concern the obligation of corporations to reduce greenhouse gasses emissions, such as promoted by the Principles on Climate Change Obligations for Entreprises. Yet actions for damages could be of importance as well. Litigation by activists stimulates society-wide deliberations, and the issue of damages is to be widely discussed: everybody is to some extent responsible for climate change and its ensuing damages, but which polluter pays for what exactly?
