text: DigitalThe Optimal Length of a Tweet, Hashtag, Podcast, Slideshare and (Almost) Everything OnlineBy Shea Bennett|October 22, 2014 ShareBy Shea Bennett|October 22, 2014 ShareWhat's the optimal length of a tweet?With a maximum of 140 characters, you might think the best policy would be to use up every single one. But you'd be wrong: the ideal tweet has a length of between 71-100 characters, leaving plenty of extra room for old-fashioned retweets and comments.What about a hashtag? Studies show that a six character hashtag performs best. On Facebook, just 40 characters is considered the optimum – yep, even shorter than on Twitter.Email subject lines should, ideally, be 28-39 characters, blog headlines just six words and podcasts fare best at 22 minutes. Check the visual below for the ideal length of (almost) everything online, which comes courtesy of Buffer and SumAll.(Source: Buffer.) Sharehttp://adweek.it/2jGdDpa copy Adweek Adweek

Background Information
In the past, the Royal Project Foundation had frequently experienced oversupply of fresh shiitake mushroom. Due to its short shelf-life, of just 2-3 days,this mushroom cannot survive the logistics condition from highland farm to market in Bangkok. Consequently, the market expansion of such high value fresh mushroom is hindered. With the proper use of science and technology, the shelf-life issue, which is in line with the 6 pressing issues in 'modern agriculture', can be solved. It was required by the Foundation that the shelf-life of the mushroom must be extended to at least 7 days under current logistic condition for retail market viability.
The success of this research and the innovative implementation of technology will certainly boost the
competitive advantage of the products and allow consumers to enjoy the freshness of high-quality shiitake mushroom delivered right from the highland mountains.
Moreover, the quality of life, well-being and happiness level of those hill- tribe mushroom growers will positively be improved, which is in harmony with the 12th National Economic and Social Development Plan.
Development of porous polypropylene (PP) film which serves as main breathable area of packaging for fresh produce with high respiration rate such as mushroom.
Research Approach
The Equilibrium Modified Atmosphere (EMA) film via the porous PP breathable window called ActivePAK Ultra was used as the retail packaging of fresh shiitake mushroom. Both the research and business development teams had worked closely with the Royal Project Foundation in every stage of development ranging from packing, market testing, data collection and analysis and problem-solving until the new ActivePAK Ultra is satisfactorily established in the Foundation's present supply chain. ActivePAK Ultra has oxygen transmission rate of 50,000 cc/m2. day which matches the respiration rate of the mushroom.
ActivePAK Ultra preserves the quality of fresh shiitake mushroom up to 9 days, in comparison with the usual 3 days in plastic clamshell with punched holes. Furthermore, shiitake mushroom packed in ActivePAK Ultra still maintains good quality under the temperature fluctuation during packing and transportation from the northern mountain tops to Bangkok and to consumer in the grocery shelves. The new packaging expands retail channels for the Foundation which were limited to only within Chiang Mai province in the past.
Key technologies
- The study of physiology and specific requirement of mushroom, e.g. respiration rates
- Development of special gas permeability control films that suitable to use with fresh produce (mushroom). The film creates modified atmosphere within the package that will lower the respiration rate which helps maintaining, the product freshness and quality.
Key success factors
1. The research problem is well-stated and focused.
2. The research team has been working closely with the Foundation and the film manufacturer in every stage of development starting from data collection and analysis and problem solving prior to and after product application. This enables the research team to create an innovative product which meets the demand of the Foundation.
Current status
The research team and the business development team had tested ActivePAK Ultra prototype in packaging manufacturing process at the film manufacturing facility. Market test in an "actual" setting in which ActivePAK Ultra was being used for shiitake mushroom was conducted together with the Foundation. Data collection was carried out from the packing facility at the Royal Project Development Center in Pa Miang to the distribution center of the Foundation in Mae Hae, Chiang Mai province until
the produce was transported to the distribution center at Kasetsart University, Bangkhaen, Bangkok and, finally, to the shelves at the Royal Project Foundation stores across Bangkok.
The research team and the business development team create a user guide and present product demonstrations at the packing facility of the Royal Project Foundation. Public relations activities were carried out through different media channels such as Chao Nee Tee Mochit TV program and a trade show booth at Thaifex (International Trade Exhibition for Food & Beverages, Food Technology and Retail Franchise in Asia).
The application of this work will be extended in form of retail package to cover other types of fresh produce, e.g. an individual fruit of mango, rambutan, asparagus, chili, mixed herbs and other types of mushroom. ActivePAK Ultra will be further developed to include application for bulk package of fresh produce such as mangoes and limes.

Crime CVII – s.47 of the Offences Against Person Act (1861) IV
In R v Spratt (1990) the accused fired his air gun from an open window without thinking that there might be others in the vicinity, the thought never occurred to him. Two of the bullets that were fired from the air gun hit a young girl who was playing in the courtyard and the accused was charged with causing actual bodily harm (ABH) as per s47 of the Offences Against Person Act (1861). The question before the court was whether a) the accused intended to cause actual bodily harm or b) whether his conduct was so reckless that intention could be implied. The accused pleaded guilty and was sentenced. The accused appealed the sentence.
On appeal, the prosecution relied on the Caldwell test and sought to obtain a conviction on the grounds that the accused had either not given any thought to the possibility of there being any such risk or had recognized that there was some risk involved but had nonetheless gone on to commit the act. His conviction was quashed, and the judge decided that in order to convict for Caldwell recklessness the accused must have some appreciation of the risk.
It is clear that the Caldwell test is too broad and widens the scope of liability and the judge in R v Spratt (1990) recognizing the dangers of the Caldwell test has tried to limit or restrict its scope by looking at the accused's state of mind at the time he committed the act.

Adobe Systems, the software maker behind the Flash online multimedia platform, has hinted that the company's much awaited Flash 10.1 with mobile support for Android, BlackBerry and webOS smartphones, will be launched in the second half of 2010 as the product is still undergoing some testing.
Shantanu Narayen, the Chief Executive Officer at Adobe Systems, announcing the launch of the Creative Suite Version 5, said that the software set will be delayed yet again because it is being tested on tablets running on Android OS and webOS.
According to the CEO, the Flash-enabled tablets will be unveiled along with the launch of the Flash 10.1 platform.
When questioned about the ongoing war with Apple Inc., Narayen said that Apple's decision to ban Flash from its products is merely a business decision and not a technological one.
He said that the iPod maker's decisions will only 'hurt' the customers, who won't be able to exploit the capabilities of their iPads due to the absence of Flash.
Adobe's Flash 10.1 is being promoted as the one which will bring of Flash's desktop capabilities to smartphone devices, which include devices running on Android OS, webOS, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile and Symbian.
Our Comments
Meanwhile, the Flash 10.1 platform will not support iPhone and iPad as Apple believes that there is not point in "wasting energy on old technology." There have been rumours in the past few days that Adobe will be suing Apple over attempted plans by the latter to block Flash.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW? / 'Peanut' Louie-Harper / This tennis nut made a name for herself on court
She was known as Peanut when she was on the women's pro tennis tour, and, 10 years into retirement, she's still Peanut.
It's one of the most distinctive nicknames in sports, and it's not likely to change anytime soon, even though Mareen "Peanut" Louie-Harper is now 41, a businesswoman and a mother of two.
"My dad gave me the nickname because I was the littlest of five children," she said. "There's no reason not to keep it. I grew up in San Francisco and I've lived all my life here. My family and friends are here, and they all know me as Peanut."
Maybe no family has had more of an influence on Northern California tennis than the Louies.
The five kids were all top junior players. Sister Marcie, who is seven years older than Peanut, preceded her on the tour. Sisters Cici and Marisa and brother Ronnie each played at USF, and have stayed in tennis as teachers.
The Louies learned the game on the public courts at Golden Gate Park.
"Rain or shine, we played," Peanut said. "If the courts were wet, we squeegeed them off."
Peanut, who won 14 national junior titles, said her decision to turn professional, as an 18-year-old in September 1978, was a "natural progression" rather than a parental push.
"I did well enough in juniors to try a few pro tournaments," she said, "and I had some positive results there. But there was no pressure to go on the tour.
I guess I did it mainly because my sister was already there. It was very helpful to have her know the ropes of the road and the tournaments. She was always very good at travel arrangements and things like that, very organized."
Louie-Harper, a steady baseliner, never became a major star professionally, but she did win four singles and two doubles titles in a 14-year career. She also won 16 singles matches in the Grand Slam tournaments. Her best year was 1985, when she was ranked 19th in the world in singles (after wins over Gabriela Sabatini and Zina Garrison) and 30th in doubles.
"It was a much different, slower lifestyle than it is now," she said. "There was a real camaraderie about it. All of us were on our own, away from our families. We'd go out to dinner together, go shopping. As I got older and played longer, I saw it change. By the late 1980s, it was becoming quite a bit different."
She left the tour in 1992, and she and husband Tim Harper started a San Francisco graphic design firm, ITP Design, and a family, which now includes daughter Casey, 8, who is pursuing synchronized skating rather than tennis, and son Jared, 4.
Louie-Harper, who was inducted into the NorCal Tennis Hall of Fame in 2000, said she rarely leaves San Francisco these days, but she's content with that. The many friendships she made on the tour stay alive through the Internet.
"Thank goodness for e-mails," she said. "With the kids, it's hard to pick up the phone."
The memories of her days on the tennis courts of the world are nearly all welcome ones.
"I'm happy with how I did," she said. "As time goes on, I can't think of many bad moments. I've deleted losing all those third sets when I was up 5-1."

text: Vilamoura's fourth course is a combination of a remodeled nine holes from the Laguna course, together with nine newly built holes, to form the Millennium Course - opened on May 13th, 2000. The course is particularly open, although some holes (the 3rd to the 7th) wind between pine trees and are similar to the neighbouring fairways of the Old Course and Pinhal. In this more wooded area, the fairways are narrower and require greater accuracy - while the rest of the course has a clear landscape enriched by lakes at the 4th, 17th and 18th holes. The 'tiger tees' (four different tees for each hole) raise the challenge and competitiveness of the course, but the wide fairways and greens ensure that the Millennium is an enjoyable course for all levels.

Raspberry Cheesecake
Rated 3.75 out of 5 based on 2 votes
- 125 g unsalted butter
- 250 g arnott's granita biscuits
- 1/4 cup desiccated coconut
- 2 x 250g packets cream cheese, at room temperature
- 250g x firm ricotta
- 1 tspn vanilla extract
- 2/3 cups caster sugar
- 3 x eggs
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 200 g white chocolate
- 125 g raspberries
1. Place butter in a small saucepan and cook, stirring, over low heat for 1 minute or until melted. Using your hands, break biscuits in half, then place in bowl of a food processor. Add coconut and process until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add melted butter and pulse 4 times or until combined.
2. Turn the base of springform pan upside down. Secure back in pan (this makes shell easier to remove). Tip in biscuit mixture. Using your fingertips, press over base and up side of pan to the top. Using a straight-sided glass, press mixture firmly to compact. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 160C. Using the claw technique (see notes), cut cream cheese into approximately 2cm pieces. Using an electric mixer, beat ricotta, vanilla and sugar on low–medium speed until almost smooth. Add cream cheese, in 2 batches, beating after each addition until well combined, then beat for 6 minutes or until smooth. Crack eggs into a bowl. Slide eggs from bowl into cream cheese mixture, one at a time, beating after each addition until well combined. Stir in sour cream.
4. Break chocolate into small pieces. Place in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water (make sure the bowl doesn't touch the water), then stir until melted. Add melted chocolate to cream cheese mixture and stir until combined.
5. Fold two-thirds of the raspberries into cream cheese mixture. Pour two-thirds of filling into biscuit shell, then scatter with remaining raspberries. Pour over remaining filling and, using the back of a spoon, gently smooth top.
6. Place pan on an oven tray and bake for 55 minutes or until edge is set and centre is still slightly wobbly. Turn off oven and cool cake completely in oven with oven door held ajar with a wooden spoon (this prevents cake from cracking). Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours to set.
7. Release side of pan, then remove. Gently slide cake off base onto a platter. Dust with icing sugar. Cut into wedges and serve with raspberries.

I'm not going to college straight out of high school, and that's okay
I'm not going to college straight out of high school, and that's ok.
I have had every chance to apply for colleges like the majority of my peers, but instead I am enlisting in the military. There are many opportunities for me in the military, including team building, leadership, government healthcare, retirement pensions, and even paid-for college.
The backbone of any country isn't solely comprised of office workers, but rather the blue collar factory workers, the farmers, the enlisted military men and women, the list goes on. The world could not run on business administrators or executive jobs alone.
Although there are a lot of people who don't understand my position or who can't see why I don't want to just go straight to college, some SHS students are on the same page with me.
"[College] is too much money, and I will already have my associates degree out of high school. Whenever I find a firm that I would want to make a career in, I would have the opportunity to either start with the degree I already have or go back to school again," said Parker Casteen, a sophomore who aspires to take over his father's construction business.
"I have been on construction sites in the past, so [that real-world experience] would be helpful once I got a management job," continued Casteen.
Public school has a few opportunities for students thinking about going into the workforce. Summerville High offers its students courses including Megatronics, Culinary Arts, and students can even travel to the Dorchester County Career and Technology Center during the school day.
Heading to the DCCTC can give students real-world experience during high school.
"For students going into the workforce, we would check to see if there is something we have at the career school that is relevant… to hit the job market in a good place," said Mrs. Toliver, SHS Guidance Counselor.
If students are generally undecided about what to do with their futures, they are usually directed to go the college route.
"If someone is totally undecided then we probably would steer them towards the highest thing they might decide," said Mrs. Toliver.
I want my decision to not immediately go to college be as respected as someone's who is going to a four year school. There is nothing wrong with choosing to take a different path after graduating high school, so why do we all have to follow the same model?
Regardless of what is offered, college is still the bigger goal set for us by the schools. A good portion of our class time is focused on college test prep. Some students may even feel that they are making the wrong decision just because of the way their schools may usher them.
Making as much money as possible or getting the highest position isn't always everything. Our schools should encourage students to pursue whatever will make us happy rather than the most successful, because success, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.
As long as students are educated in their decision and understand its possible consequences, we should respect them. I am NOT going to college right out of high school, and that's okay.

Daria & Doug have the sweetest love story. These two have known each other since elementary school. They grew up and went separate ways but as fate would have it, they crossed paths again. Having written and recited their vows to each other in the presence of those they love most, they are looking forward to spending the rest of their lives together.
The wedding was a small, intimate ceremony attended by immediate family followed by a fall themed reception with their closest friends. Daria's step-father got ordained so he could marry them. What a special treat for them!
Daria was referred to me by a friend and she and I hit it off on the phone like we were old friends. I didn't get to meet her before the wedding but meeting her in person was no different. She is just adorable and lights up a room! I wish she lived closer so we could share a glass of wine now and again.
Doug is just as adorable and full of light and fun. His love for his new bride was shining bright in his vows, the way he looked at her and he was beaming the entire wedding. This adorable couple, their family and friends were such a wonderful group and a pleasure to photograph.
Congratulations Daria & Doug! Thank you so much for allowing me to share on your special day. I wish you a lifetime of happiness & unending love!

Crime Briefs: Parachute family held hostage
On Tuesday, a Parachute police officer responded to a call from a woman who said her ex-husband had threatened to kill her and her sister. When the officer made contact with the woman by phone, she said her ex-husband had made such threats because she had called his probation officer to advise that he was intoxicated.
He threatened to shoot her, her sister, himself, and police if officers had arrived at the residence.
The woman's sister, who was diagnosed with cancer and had trouble walking, had locked herself in her room to avoid the suspect.
The officer wrote in court documents that he tried to reach the woman's sister but that she had refused to answer because if the suspect had heard her communicating with police, he would get violent. In the documents, the officer says he asked the woman if she could leave and go for a walk and ultimately meet with police. She said no, as she was disabled and the suspect would be suspicious and prohibit her from leaving the house. The officer then turned over communication with a hostage negotiation team, which was able to remove the woman's sister from the home.
The 51-year-old suspect was ordered out of the home, according to court documents, and placed into custody. An officer says the suspect smelled of alcohol and that he had threatened the officer on the way to Garfield County Jail. The officer found there were three protection orders, restraining the suspect from contact with his ex-wife. One order stated that he is restrained from "assaulting, threatening, abusing, harassing, following or stalking the protected person." The second protective order says he is restrained from possessing or consuming alcoholic beverages and controlled substances and must stay away from the protected person's home, school, and place of employment.
"Because [he] threatened [her], was at [her] residence and was under the influence of alcohol he was in violation of the restraining orders," the documents say. He is charged with domestic violence, two counts of harassment, violation of restraining orders, menacing, and false imprisonment.
At about 6:40 a.m. on May 11, officers responded to a call saying a mother and her baby were walking along Interstate 70 near mile marker 64, just east of DeBeque in Garfield County. The officer who initiated the call said a male had been sitting in a vehicle nearby.
According to court documents, an officer located the male at a different location. The officer asked approached the driver and asked if anyone else had been in the vehicle. The driver said the others were walking westbound on highway I-70.
The officer asked the driver to identify himself and he refused, saying he had possible arrest warrants and that he did not want to go to jail. The officer called for backup and when an additional officer approached the suspect, the locked the door.
According to documents, the officer asked the driver several times to unlock the door, finally advising if the driver didn't exit the vehicle, the officers would shatter the passenger's window. The male continued to argue and the officers asked several more times. One officer says he noticed a can of pepper spray concealed in the driver's hand and that he shattered the passenger's window to protect the other officer, who was closer to the suspect.
The officer wrote in the documents that he used his Taser on the male's back and right leg to prohibit him from continuing to spray the other officer. The driver then surrendered and opened the door. An ambulance was called to treat the lacerations sustained from the Taser.
Upon running the suspect's license, officers found two arrest warrants, one for obstructing police, and the other for failing to comply. Officers could not verify the car was insured or that it had even belonged to the suspect. It was impounded and a dog in the back of the car was taken to Rifle Animal Shelter. The male was placed under arrest and told officers that he was suicidal.
At Garfield County Jail, a sheriff's deputy asked the suspect if he had ever attempted suicide. He said yes, adding that he had hoped for a suicide by cop situation at the time of his arrest. He was placed on suicide watch and is charged with obstructing a peace officer, resisting arrest, and second-degree assault. It is still unclear how he was linked to the mother and the baby walking alongside the highway.
At about 3:30 a.m. Tuesday, two Rifle police officers were called to investigate a possible disturbance. They say in court documents, while at the scene, they noticed a vehicle circling the block without stopping at any of the residences. A few minutes later, one of the officers says he noticed the same car parked on private property at a church, which is currently under construction. As the officer approached the vehicle, a 33-year-old suspect said a friend told him he could park at the private property overnight. He additionally stated he had ingested meth two days before.
The officer says that when he looked inside the vehicle, he observed a blade knife protruding from the seat. He says when he asked the suspect to exit the vehicle he observed a large set of pliers coming out of the male's back pocket. The officer asked the suspect if he could search him and upon doing so, he found a pair of plastic gloves in the male's front pocket.
Upon questioning, the officer says he learned the suspect occasionally pleasures himself with plastic gloves. A second officer checked for possible warrants for arrests and ran the suspect's driver's license. The license was not valid in the state of Wisconsin and the male was also listed as a registered sex offender in the state. An officer asked how long he had been here and the male said a few months.
The officer also asked if the suspect had registered as a sex offender in the state of Colorado, and he said no. The officer says in the affidavits that he detained the suspect for further investigation but before placing him in the patrol car, the suspect's friend who told him he could park at the private property came over, asking about a lost dog.
As the officer advised the suspect of his Miranda Rights, he says the male said he had driven his friend around to "steal stuff." The second officer asked via radio what kind of jacket the suspect's friend had been wearing and he said a black one. The second officer said he located a black jacket balled up next to a trashcan that looked like it had been moved to a position to gain access to a nearby window at the church.
A monkey fist, which is commonly used to break windows, the document says, and plastic gloves were found near the trashcan. The suspect said he knew his friend was trying to break into the church. Upon searching the suspect's truck, the officer found pliers, screwdrivers, face masks, and multiple bags, which the suspect said belonged to his friend.
The primary suspect was arrested and charged with criminal attempt to commit a crime, conspiracy to commit a crime, second-degree burglary, and possession of burglary tools.

As many of you will know we rely on voluntary donations from Lightning enthusiasts following what we are doing on the site and wanting to support those activities. Follow this link and at the foot of the page, you will see details of how you can contribute to the Association maintaining XR724 and keeping you informed of news and new Lightning stories as they appear.
The Lightning Association would like to thank all our supporters who have sent us donations for their very generous contribution to our running costs. We are always in need of more funds, however, and would be extremely grateful for further help if you feel you can afford to do so.
As some of you may already know, regular activities have resumed on our aircraft, XR724. To run along side this we have now also created a Facebook page where you can see more up-to-date news on our progress. It is also hoped in the near future that we will unveil a new look website to further push our online presence to the both the enthusiasts and general public.

New Lightning tale from Colin Carver (First hand Account) click here
Lightning Mk1A XM188 Incident at RAF Coltishall Friday 21st June 1968
We've just received the sad news that Geoff Commins has
died after a long struggle with cancer. With his vast
experience on Lightnings, Geoff was an irreplaceable member of
many Lightning groups, including the Lightning Preservation
Group and the Anglo-American Lightning Organisation, as well as
the Lightning Association, and his gentle sense of humour was
appreciated as much as his technical expertise.
Everyone in our world will have their own story of Geoff, but one which springs to mind occurred when he was doing engine runs on XR724 at Binbrook. There were problems with going into reheat, and Geoff decided to go round to the back of the aircraft to see if the hot-shot was working. Pip Sweetman was in the cockpit and John Watson and Dennis Wood were observing on the ground. Geoff decided that his distance from the jet pipe was about right, but with the benefit of hindsight, another 100 metres might have been better.
As the engine RPM rose, Geoff leaned further and further forward until he was past 45 degrees, then went down on his hands and knees and clung to the concrete, but to no avail. He started to slide backwards down the pan until the knees of his overalls were shredded, then disappeared into the weeds on his backside, with similar effects on the seat of his pants. When he eventually came to a stop he walked back and said 'She's got some power!' Then, red-faced, breathing heavily and indecently dressed for mixed company, he went off to get some new overalls.
Geoff Commins, one of the good guys. We shall miss him very much.

As noted in the days after Congressional Republicans passed their tax cut legislation, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi warned that passage of the bill would be "Armageddon." And indeed, reports of anguish and financial ruin have arrived and been collected here and here. The Christmas holiday brought no respite, as even more companies announced how they would be punishing their workers with bonuses and raises to maximize the pain and suffering caused by the apocalypse-inducing legislation.
Central Pacific Bank has become the fourth local financial institution to announce it will give holiday bonuses to employees and increase its minimum wage.
The state's fourth-largest bank, which has about 850 employees, said late Sunday afternoon that it will provide a $1,000 bonus to all of its workforce with the exception of executives on its managing committee. The bank said the bonuses will be paid on Friday and will be in addition to the normal annual or quarterly bonuses it provides based on individual and company performances.
In addition, the bank said it will be increasing its starting pay rate to $15.25 an hour from $12 an hour starting Jan. 1 for about 126 employees. Central Pacific also said it will increase the pay for other wage "progression" positions to maintain a proportionate spread between those positions and the entry level positions where the minimum wage is being raised to $15.25 an hour.
Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. announced that in recognition of the contribution of the company's employees to the ongoing success of Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. and the positive impact the changes in tax laws will have on the company, a special bonus for employees.
All full-time employees will receive a special bonus of $1,000 and employees classified as part-time will receive a $500 bonus. Executive management will not participate in this special bonus.
The bonus will be paid to employees as soon as the new tax tables are released in 2018 so that employees may receive the full benefit of the reduction in tax rates.
Express Employment Professionals nonexecutive employees in Oklahoma City each will receive a $2,000 bonus before the end of the year, CEO Bob Funke said Tuesday.
Funke said the bonus is in part because of the company's expected savings from the tax reform legislation Congress passed last week.
"We wanted to show our appreciation for our employees for doing such a good job this year," Funke told The Oklahoman on Tuesday. "It's our privilege to be able to give back to our employees."
The bonus will be provided to the more than 200 nonexecutive employees at Express Employment Professionals' Oklahoma City headquarters.
Just a bit north of there, in Iowa:
As a result of the passage of the tax relief bill this week, Ohnward Bancshares has announced it will pay a $1,000 tax relief, holiday bonus to every company employee.
This bonus is separate, and, in addition to, normal bonuses received based on company performance.
Pinnacle Bank president Dillon Retzlaff said company-wide, all 2,000 full-time employees — including all 12 in Iowa — received the $1,000 special bonus and part-timers received a $500 bonus.
Retzlaff broke the good news to his employees via an email and then walked out of his office to see their reactions.
"They reacted very well," he said. "I saw some tears of joy, a lot of unexpected happiness; it was really fun to do that before Christmas. I think we caught them off guard."
Retzlaff said it "was the best feeling in the world" to be able to tell his staff they were being given this bonus this year.
See? See! Democrats warned that if Republicans passed the tax cut, we would see ordinary employees crying over it, and the prediction came true!
It just keeps going and going – all the way east in Winston-Salem, North Carolina:
Nearly three-fourths of BB&T Corp.'s employees will get a one-time $1,200 bonus in January as part of the bank's response to the corporate tax rate cut signed into law Friday by President Donald Trump.
The tax cut reduces corporate rates from 35 percent to 21 percent.
About 27,000 BB&T employees will receive the bonus. Most of them are not eligible for incentives or commissions, BB&T said. The bank had 37,189 employees as of Sept. 30, according to a regulatory filing.
The bank also will raise its minimum hourly wage to $15 from $12 on Jan. 1, as well as provide $100 million to the bank's philanthropic fund.
Just think, America. Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats in Congress did everything they could to stop this Armageddon from befalling you, but they just didn't have the votes. Everyone must remember this on Election Day 2018!

High Colesterol
Were you looking for information about High Cholesterol? High colesterol is a common misspelling of high cholesterol.
The body needs cholesterol to function properly; too much, however, can cause health problems. Specifically, high cholesterol can cause a condition called atherosclerosis, the effects of which include coronary heart disease, angina, and stroke. While the causes are often unknown, risk factors for the condition include diet, weight, and heredity.
Treatment typically starts with changing your diet, losing weight, quitting smoking, and other lifestyle changes. On a cholesterol-lowering diet, you will reduce the amount of cholesterol, saturated fat, and trans fat that you eat. If lifestyle changes alone are not enough to reduce cholesterol levels, medication may be necessary.
