NovOculi's technology is an improvement on the common laser refractive surgery procedure LASIK. In order to fully explain NovOculi's technology, it is first necessary to develop an understanding of its predecessors in the laser refractive surgery industry. After this has been accomplished, NovOculi's technology will be described, competing technologies will be analyzed, sourcing issues will be addressed and, finally, future products will be discussed.
Refractive correction, in all forms, is accomplished through alteration of the contours of the cornea. This alteration is accomplished by destroying either the stroma (middle layer of the cornea) or the epithelium (outer, protective layer of the cornea) of the cornea, and in some cases, both.
Early procedures, such as PRK, used lasers to change the contour of the cornea by destroying both the epithelium and the stroma through simply blasting the cornea straight on without any preparation. This procedure was difficult for patients as the healing took weeks and the destruction of the epithelium left the eye permanently susceptible to infections and ulcers.
LASIK was an improvement over PRK due to the fact that most of the protective layer of epithelium was folded back, and only the stroma of the cornea was destroyed. In order to fold the epithelium back, though, a large, circular incision in the cornea was necessary. While LASIK was an advance in technology in that the epithelium was not destroyed, the incision itself was found to cause multiple problems such as night blindness, loss of sight, permanent sensation of irritation, etc.
3.1 Product Description
In an effort to avoid the complications associated with corneal incision and epithelial destruction utilized in laser refractive surgery procedures, NovOculi's principals designed NICS (Non-Invasive Corneal Sculpting). NICS allows for effective laser refractive correction without the troublesome corneal incision. The subject matter of NovOculi's technology is currently protected by Provisional Patent No. 60/243,031.
NovOculi's technology involves using an ionically charged, contact lens-shaped plate to drive an ionically charged dye into the cornea without making an incision. This use of a charge to attract or repel another charge is termed iontophoresis, and since the charge on NovOculi's plate can be reversed, to either attract or repel the dye, this component of NICS is referred to as the reversible polarity iontophoretic device (RPID). By exposing a charged dye to the RPID which has been set to the same polarity, the dye will effectively be driven through the relatively resistant corneal epithelium and stroma via the repulsion of similar charges. Without this electrostatic repulsion, it would take hours to allow the cornea to soak up the dye, making the procedure difficult, if not impossible.
The ionic dye used in NICS is tartrazine, a common food coloring additive. Tartrazine is a small, stable, yellow dye which absorbs visible light at 440 nanometer (nm) and is positively charged. In order to make sure that the tartrazine is delivered only to the cornea, NovOculi has developed a unique contact lens impregnated with tartrazine which incorporates a barrier to lateral diffusion. This barrier prevents the remainder of the eye from being exposed to the tartrazine and allows for more precise dye delivery.
By controlling the duration of the iontophoresis, during which the RPID will be positively charged to repel the tartrazine, the dye is selectively placed in the middle of the cornea, away from the sensitive epithelial and endothelial layers. Once this has been accomplished, the middle layer of the cornea can be selectively targeted by a 440 nm wavelength laser without ever having to destroy any portion of the protective epithelium.
After the cornea has been sculpted with the laser, the RPID is then reapplied with reversed polarity and the dye is extracted from the cornea, leaving a clear, sculpted cornea.
In summary, NICS is performed as follows:
- Drops are applied to the epithelium of the cornea to decrease sensation and increase dye permeability.
- A contact lens of varying polymeric density and charged with ionic dye, tartrazine, is placed on the epithelium of the cornea of the eye to be corrected, then the RPID (charge-inducing plate) in the shape of a contact lens is placed over the dye.
- The RPID is activated with a charge similar to the dye, thereby forcing the dye into the eye.
- The cornea is washed free of the dye and the iontophoretic plate is reapplied to drive the dye beyond the epithelial layer of the cornea, but above the endothelial layer.
- Once the dye is selectively located in the stromal layer of the cornea, a laser tuned to the wavelength of the dye, 440 nm, is used to sculpt the cornea using the standard laser refractive surgery protocol.
- The reversible iontophoretic device is then reapplied with its charge reversed in order to draw the dye out of the cornea due to their now opposite charges attracting.
- The eye heals and the stroma resorbs over the course of one to two weeks during which sight improves to 20/20 (or better!).
NovOculi's novel technology is found in 1) The overall method of selectively ablating stromal corneal cells, 2) The Reversible Polarity Iontophoretic Device, and 3) The dye-impregnated polymeric contact lens, all of which are currently intellectual property of Daniel R. Burnett, one of the principals.
While NovOculi's technology is novel, the principles on which it is founded are well established. The targeted destruction of certain cells through delivery, then stimulation, of a photoactive substance has been accomplished elsewhere in the human body in the treatment of cancer and has been termed Photodynamic Therapy ("Targeted intracellular delivery of photosensitizers to enhance photodynamic efficiency," Immunology & Cell Biology, August 2000). Also, the delivery of ionic substances into the eye has been successfully accomplished in studies attempting to increase the ocular delivery of dilating drops and antibiotics ("The role of iontophoresis in ocular drug delivery," Journal of Ocular Pharmacology, Spring 1994). Thus, the principles on which NovOculi's technology rests have been proven in related studies, yet never applied in the laser refractive surgery until now, with the development of NovOculi's patented method and devices.
3.2 Sourcing
Most of the components involved in NovOculi's method of corneal sculpting are relatively inexpensive and common. The iontophoretic plate, for example, is constructed of standard electronic components and its power source can be either an outlet or a common battery. Tartrazine, the ionic dye, is the most common food coloring additive used in the United States, making this component ubiquitous.
The one component which will be more expensive and difficult to obtain will be the refractive laser tuned to the wavelength of the ionic dye. Partnership with a laser manufacturer would be beneficial in facilitating the development of this laser and well-received efforts have been made to form this relationship.
3.3 Future Products
Future products of NovOculi, Inc. will be medical devices in the field of ophthalmology. Two of the principals, Dr. Daniel Burnett and Dr. Terry Kim, as well as one of the consultants, Dr. Mark Blumenkranz, are intimately involved in the field of ophthalmology and have experience in the R&D of biomedical devices.
In order to capitalize on NovOculi's core competency in ophthalmic devices, the company will focus its efforts in this arena. One example of a device currently in the R&D pipeline is a contact lens formed from a calcium alginate polymer impregnated with one of a variety of ophthalmically active drugs. Use of this slow-release, once-a-day therapy will allow many patients to be treated much more effectively and more conveniently than the current therapy which requires repetitive application of eye drops, sometimes as often as once an hour.

User documenation
A user documentation is a complete description of Kunagi's features, ideas and concepts. It is written in a general form and can be user to look up specific topics.
It is supplemented by a Tutorial (sto148) that allows a quick introduction and the FAQ (sto149) that allows to quickly look up specific questions that users often ask.
Mon, May 9, 2011, 07:28 by Jason Lunn
Would definitely like to see this story get a high prioritization, and would add that more comprehensive JavaDocs might also be appropriate.
Mon, May 9, 2011, 18:29 by artjom (PO,T)
You are generally right about that. But I have to note, that documentation (as well as JavaDoc to some degree) is very much work and gets outdated very fast. This fact is additionally reinforced by the fact that the project is still changing quite rapidly.
Some time ago, we factored out sto148, sto160 and sto161 (tutorials für Product Owner, Scrum Master and Team Members) out of this Story. Therefore, we will try to get them done first, and see that we get out more documentation out some time in the future.

"Meh", "nope", "I just threw up in my mouth", and other responses Facebook's new Reactions missed, are now available for your site!
Facebook released their new Feelbacks Reactions globally last week, with 5 new reactions in addition to the classic "like". The new reactions consist of, "Love", "Haha", "Wow", "Sad", "Angry".
When asked whether these reactions were able to encapsulate the wide array of human emotions, Matthew Inman, better known as the famous web comic, The Oatmeal, responded with a resounding "nope".
The Oatmeal suggested a few necessary additions he felt were lacking from the Facebook version, such as the universal reactions, "Meh", "I threw up in my mouth", and "I read this while pooping".
Here at Vicomi, we agreed that these alternative choices should be made available in our Feelback Reactions so that people can start responding with how they really feel.
I am thrilled to announce that our Feelbacks design options now include two new designs based on The Oatmeal's comic that you can add to your site today!

Huawei Strikes Back…Against Verizon
Chinese Telecom Huawei, pretty upset about President Trump's sanctions against the company that have led to Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) banning the company from using its Android operating system for its phones among other things, is striking back by insisting that Verizon (NYSE:VZ) pay it $1 billion in licensing fees for 230 patents that Verizon allegedly used that belonged to Huawei. The patents cover core netowork equipment, wireline infrastructure, and IoT technology. Reuters speculates that the fee demand may have more to do with politics than with anything patent-related. Verizon spokesman Rich Young agrees, saying, ""These issues are larger than just Verizon. Given the broader geopolitical context, any issue involving Huawei has implications for our entire industry and also raise national and international concerns." No other US carriers have commented on the matter, preferring to stay out of it rather than get involved in a political dispute over tariffs and national security pretenses.

UK Parliament Votes No On No No Deal, Meaning Possibly Yes No Deal
No no deal? No. A no deal Brexit is now possible, again, weeks after the same UK Parliament voted to rule out no deal. Now they have voted to keep no deal on the table, with the leaderless government winning the vote by a majority of 11. In a statement that kind of defies the meaning of English vocabulary, former Conservative MP Nick boles warned that "No-deal Brexit on 31 October is back to being a racing certainty." But if it's back to being a racing certainty, then it's not a certainty, since it once wasn't a certainty, which means it can change back, which means it isn't a certainty. He hinted that the only way that the House of Commons can possibly block a no-deal Brexit now was a vote of no confidence in the government, which would trigger a general election, but even that isn't certain to stop a no-deal Brexit, because in order to actually stop it, Parliament would have to formally revoke Article 50, which a no confidence vote wouldn't accomplish on its own.
Stoners in Ancient China Prove Drug Problem Goes WAY Back
Marijuana chemical residue has been found in ancient wood/stone bongs used during funeral ceremonies dating to about 500 CE. It's the cannabis equivalent of the Dead Sea Scrolls for the Bible. The smoking paraphernalia was found in 8 tombs in the Pamir Mountains, buried with the dead, probably so the dead could do a dab in heaven. These are basically wooden bowls with stones in the middle. The stones have burn marks on them and evidence of ancient cannabinoids have been found on them. Mass spectrometry found that the levels of THC found on the residue was particularly high, more than wild cannabis, indicating that the plant used was specifically chosen because it gave you a good buzz. "We can start to piece together an image of funerary rites that included flames, rhythmic music and hallucinogen smoke, all intended to guide people into an altered state of mind," the researchers wrote in the study published in the journal Science Advances." Marijuana stocks (NYSEARCA:MJ) will probably soar on the news.
Crowded CrowdStrike IPO
Crowdstrike (NASDAQ:CRWD), an endpoint detection and response cybersecurity company, had a smashing IPO yesterday, with shares up over 70% on its first day of trading. THe company raised about $610 million and is valued at $11.4 billion. Shares had doubled at one point, but settled back a bit lower by the end of the day. CrowdStrike competes with FireEye (NASDAQ:FEYE) and Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO), but is focused on endpoint cloud protection, basically keeping people from stealing or falsifying your information in the cloud.
Johnson & Johnson Loses Another Talc Lawsuit
Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) has been ordered to $10 million to a California woman who claims that the company's Baby Powder caused her mesothelioma, a type of lung cancer caused almost exclusively by inhalation of asbestos. Colgate-Palmolive (NYSE:CL) was also implicated in the lawsuit and will have to share the costs, barring appeal, which is almost certain. J&J claims that there were procedural and evidentiary errors that it believes are grounds for appeal. Colgate also plans to appeal the verdict. The damages of $10 million were significantly smaller than a previous sentence of $300 million ordered by a New York jury on the same issue. This is the 11th trial on the subject of contaminated talc.
Aramco Now has Investor Relations Page, Will Do August Earnings Call
Saudi Aramco is about to reveal its finances to the world, without even doing an IPO. The fact that it is hosting an investor's earnings call suggests that an IPO is still in the works though, just that the oil giant is waiting for the oil price to finally go up after 5 years in the dumps. According to preliminary financials released last year, Aramco is by far the most profitable company in the world, doubling the annual profits of the largest company in the world, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), by almost 100%. An IPO is now tentatively rescheduled for 2021, and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman believes that the IPO, when it finally happens, will value the company at $2 trillion, or double that of Apple, which makes sense if the annual profit is twice as big.

In Acura's new campaign, it's hard to tell what moves faster — the car or the ads themselves. The marketer crammed roughly 50 unique images in each one of its five 30-second spots and about 25 images in each of its seven 15-second ads. Each scene shot is vertically and layered into the TV commercials by dividing the screen in three.
The colorful mishmash — which includes flashes of random images like a sci-fi superhero in a red metal suit — is aimed at giving Acura's new 2018 TLX luxury sedan a modern, youthful feel. But the campaign, called "What a Ride," also has a more practical goal when it comes to Acura's media buy: The visuals are shot vertically so they are easily transferable to mobile ad formats. And Acura purposely avoided celebrities and spoken dialogue so that it can adjust the ads on the fly to adapt to market conditions. The so-called modular approach means that if, for instance, Acura wants to tout all-wheel drive in cold-weather cities, it could easily toss in that message in a quick scene without rejiggering the entire ad.
"We also can see what combination performs best over time. Or if we are hearing feedback in terms of other attributes of the car that we may not have predicted, it's very easy for us to cut it and have that option available quickly," said Ed Beadle, senior manager-integrated marketing at Acura. "If you are relying on the schtick of some heavy talent spot with comedy and plucky one-liners, it's very difficult to try to adjust that messaging."
This type of flexible approach, including vertical visuals, has gained in popularity across the ad industry as brands seek to make ads that are suitable for TV and mobile, where viewers often encounter spots with the sound off. It is proof of how much mobile players like Snapchat and Instagram Stories — which use vertical video ad formats — are influencing creative approaches.
Agencies on the Acura campaign include MullenLowe Los Angeles for creative and RPA for media buying. (Acura is owned by Honda, which recently shifted media duties to RPA.)
Acura executives declined to detail the media buy for the TLX campaign because they said it had not been finalized. But Mr. Beadle said digital will account for roughly 40% of the spending. Acura also confirmed it has prepared 6-second ads and that the buy includes Snapchat ads and Facebook's Canvas ads. "When you shoot this way from the beginning, you are already prepared so that you can adapt to any channel that is relevant," he said. "Flexibility is a key strategy for this campaign."
The TV spots, which will break at the end of May, are backed by the song "The Movement" by Kid Ink. Acura plans to debut the new TLX campaign at an event today at the ArtBeam venue that near the New York International Auto Show, which gets underway this week at the Jacob Javits Convention Center. Pop singer Elle King is scheduled to perform Acura's event.
The TLX launch comes at a critical time for Acura as it seeks to reverse declining sales and battle industry dynamics in which car sales have been hurt by surging demand for trucks and SUVs. Acura car sales fell 28.5% in the first three months of the year to 9,806 vehicles, according to data compiled by Automotive News. Acura's SUVs, the MDX and RDX, fell by 8.4% and 9.9% respectively.
In a January interview with Automotive News, Jim Morino, chairman of Acura's dealer advisory board, called 2016 a "tough year," citing the Takata airbag recall situation that "caused havoc in all of our lives." He also said dealers have had "some very candid conversations about aggressiveness of advertising and awareness for Acura," but credited Acura with "changing that message so that it's more aggressive than it has been in the past."
The TLX campaign is under the larger "Precision Crafted Performance" marketing platform that Acura launched in early 2016. Its goal is to give the automaker's marketing a more consistent feel with a youthful, optimistic tone.
"We have to establish a great foundation for ourselves and get our brand out there and get everybody to understand who we are," said Jon Ikeda, VP-general manager for the Acura Division of American Honda Motor Co. "Once people understand a little better and get clarity of what we represent and what we are doing, then I think the sales side will come."

Dash-CAE Stratasys F900
Dash-CAE, a UK-based engineering service provider, has invested in a Stratasys F900 platform as it looks to enhance the service it delivers to such markets as aerospace and automotive.
Stratasys launched the F900 machine last spring at RAPID + TCT, with GKN Aerospace an early adopter of the technology.
Dash-CAE now has three Stratasys Fused Deposition Modelling machines, which, like GKN, it uses to manufacture tooling, jigs and fixtures. It has also found some suitable production applications for the platform.
The company is anticipating demand from the transport sectors to rise, and working to meet those requirements, is enjoying the ability of its 3D printing systems to process production-grade thermoplastics. With its suite of FDM machines, it is providing strong, durable, and dimensionally-stable parts, and can do so accurately and repeatably. The company supplements the performance of the 3D printers with a lean manufacturing approach, and as such, is reporting reductions of up to 85% in production time and up to 90% in the design phase.
Dash-CAE Strat F900
"Our 3D printers are helping us slash development times and costs, while building fully functional parts and production tools," commented Tim Robathan, Managing Director of Dash-CAE. "Other large printers such as ours may be based at customer sites for internal use only, yet ours is open to all.
"With 3D printing, we can quickly run through multiple complex iterations and save a lot of time. Carbon fibre is very cost-effective, but tooling costs can be prohibitive. Our tooling is the alternative, and we are now producing items up to 1m3 for the chassis, suspension and bodywork. These items are proven and enjoyed by our major manufacturing customers today."

Written by: Scrooge McSuck from DaWrestlingsite.com
– We're a month away from SummerSlam, traditionally booked like the elite PPV it should be, and a month removed from the heavily hyped (but slightly disappointing) Money In The Bank… that just screams bad news for Battleground, but who knows, maybe we'll be surprised and they will deliver a big winner. The card certainly looks good enough to manage such a task.
– Originally brought to us via the WWE Network (and something called Pay-Per-View) on July 20th, 2014, from the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa, FL. Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler, and JBL are at ringside to call the action, unless otherwise noted.
Kickoff Match #1: Adam Rose vs. Fandango:
Fandango is now going solo, with budget cuts taking effect on his entrance and being double-dumped by Summer Rae and Layla. Speaking of them, they're part of the Rose Buds, and hey, it's Adam Rose's birthday! Do you think he's going to win, knowing this? Fandango attacks at the bell and takes Rose down with a back suplex for two. The Rosebud nonsense works its way around the ring, angering Fandango. Layla gives him a slap, and then Summer Rae gives him one to the other cheek. Rose tosses him in the ring, hits a Spinebuster, and finishes with the Party Foul at 1:22. SERIOUSLY?! That was shorter than most matches from the Attitude Era. Not worth rating, it was barely a match. Breaking news: JBL still hates the rabbit.
Kickoff Match #2: Naomi vs. Cameron:
Please make this one no longer than 90-seconds. For those who have trouble remembering which one is which, Naomi is the one who's finisher is throwing her ass in the opponent's face, and Cameron is the one with the really goofy hair color. I guess Naomi retains the "Somebody Call My Momma" music, but both are sporting new looks. Cameron looks like a slutty school girl and Naomi looks like a slutty Racetrack Flag. JBL makes a dated Dr. Shelby reference as the match is already dragging. Crowd pops, possibly because of Cameron's skirt flipping up. Naomi misses a dropkick, but still retains control and comes off the ropes with a Thesz Press. Cameron tries taking a walk, but Naomi says "nu-uh, ho" and throws her to the floor. Cameron hits the ropes in slow motion, then in slow motion and poorly done. Cameron with a "school girl" and handful of ass for the cheap three count at 3:12. DUD At least it was semi-short, but both are such poor workers, it didn't matter.
WWE Tag Team Championship; 2 out of 3 Falls Match:
The Uso's © vs. Luke Harper & Erick Rowan:
I'm always a sucker for 2 out of 3 Fall Matches, especially when it comes to the Tag Team Championship. These teams have been feuding on-and-off for a good while now, but it's only the second time meeting on PPV. Uso's have been reigning Champions since shortly before WrestleMania XXX. Fall #1: Jey Uso bitch slaps Rowan's mask off to start. The Uso's clear the ring early, but Harper recovers and puts a hurting on Jey. Rowan controls with a chinlock and an elbow gets a two count. Harper drives a knee to the face for two and gives him the old Gator-Roll. Jey counters with a bak suplex and tags out to Jimmy. Harper greets him with a running boot, and it gets three at 5:45?! Holy crap, didn't see that coming, but that's more of as good thing surprise.
Fall #2: Harper crushes Jimmy in the corner and Rowan comes off the ropes with a splash for two. Harper steals Sgt. Slaughter's old "Noogie of Doom" as the crowd tries to rally the Champions. Jimmy fights free but collapses under a slam attempt. Jimmy tries trading blows with Harper, unsuccessfully. Harper misses a charge to the corner, Jey gets the blind tag, and rolls Harper up for the three count at 8:11, meaning we're going to a third and decisive fall… who could've seen that coming?
Fall #3: Harper and Rowan stomp Jimmy out like a camp fire. Rowan with a fall-away slam for two. Harper with a guillotine slingshot for another two count. Rowan misses a charge to the corner, as foes Harper, causing himself to fall to the arena floor. Jimmy gets the first hot tag of the match and quickly goes flying over the top with a no-hands plancha. Rowan gets dumped to the floor and Jimmy with a plancha on him, as well. He runs the security wall and dives on top of Harper! Back inside the ring, a flying body press gets two! Harper counters a Samoan Drop, but he can't avoid an enziguri. Jimmy charges into the corner with a butt to the face, but Harper shows no sign of pain and quickly crushes Jimmy in the opposite corner. Jimmy fights out of a back breaker and comes off the top with a corkscrew moonsault for two! Harper blocks a superkick and knocks Jimmy to the floor with a running boot. Rowan follows him out with a suicide dive! Jey and Rowan battle on the floor. Harper tries a dive, but this time Jey clocks him with a roundhouse kick, and Jimmy rolls him up for two! Harper with the Ligerbomb, but that only gets two! Rowan to the top rope, missing a splash! Jey with the Splash on Rowan… for two! Jey goes to the top again, but Harper runs interference. Rowan and the Uso's all pile up on the top rope, and Rowan actually takes them both over with a Super-Plex! That only gets two. Jey breaks up the double chokeslam spot. Harper no-sells a superkick and hits the discuss clothesline for two! Double Superkick from the Uso's to both challengers, and a double-team splash finally puts Harper away for the deciding fall at 18:51. ***3/4 Great way to open the show. The "quick" falls early on can be explained by luck, leaving both teams to have to pull out all the tricks to overcome the desperation of avoiding losing a second fall. Pretty much non-stop action and hard work from all involved.
– We prepare for the most anticipated match of the night between Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins, but a pre-match brawl backstage results in Triple H throwing Ambrose out of the building… are you serious?!
WWE Divas Championship Match:
A.J. Lee © vs. Paige:
I guess they are holding off from fully turning Paige heel after teasing it the night that A.J. Lee returned from her hiatus. A.J. is being firly established as a babyface, because… I don't know, I liked her as a heel, but these two should be able to have a decent match, if they're given more than 5-minutes to work. Paige offers a handshake, and unfortunately, no sucker punch. Crowd chants "CM Punk", because people just can't get over it. Whip to the ropes, and they trade near falls. Paige with a superkick for two. Paige stomps away in the corner and plants A.J. with a slam for two. JBL and Lawler make old-people jokes about the deceased Fabulous Moolah… stay classy. Paige grabs a chinlock, then turns it into a modified surfboard. A.J. counters a slam with a Tornado DDT. WEAK SAUCE tackle through the ropes. Paige with a sloppy sunset Powerbomb from the top rope for two. A.J. tries a dive off the second rope, but Paige catches. She goes for a powerslam, but A.J. turns it into the Black Widow! Paige hangs in and counters with a hair-pulled hip toss. Paige Turner gets two! Paige goes for the Scorpion Crosslock, but A.J. rolls through and hits the Shining Wizard for three at 7:13. Well, that was short. *1/2 I don't know what they're selling with the angle, but I'm not buying, since it makes zero sense. The wrestling was fine, but a bit underwhelming considering expectations.
Jack Swagger (w/ Zeb Colter) vs. Rusev (w/ Lana):
Yes, I'm actually looking forward to this one, and am surprised at how wisely they are using Swagger and Colter in the role of babyface. The result shouldn't be in doubt, but the crowd reacted better than I would've expected to their confrontations. Lana's pre-match promos are starting to become tired. Slugfest before the bell results in Swagger sending Rusev to the floor with a clothesline. Rusev charges, but Swagger picks the ankle, sending him to the floor to rethink his plan. Rusev pounds away in the corner. Swagger avoids a charge and goes for the ankle again, same result as the first attempt. Swagger throws him back inside and splashes him in the corner. Rusev returns the favor and throws him over with a fallaway slam. Rusev grabs the vulcan nerve pinch, and why not? It's a character from the 1970's, so might as well bring offense from the era with it. Crowd rallies behind Swagger with a "We The People" chant. Swagger mounts a comeback, only to get dumped to the floor. Swagger finally pumps himself up, re-enters the ring, and puts a hurting on Rusev. Avalanche to the corner, running big boot, and the Swagger Bomb gets two! Swagger battles back from a flurry of rights and lefts and connects with a Powerslam for two. Rusev knocks Swagger silly with a knee lift, but the running kick is countered with the Patriot Lock! Rusev hangs on and makes it to the ropes. They take it to the floor, with Swagger clipping the leg and grabbing the hold again. Rusev counters, ramming Swagger into the post, and rolls back into the ring for a Count-Out victory at 9:55. Well, the gimmick is from the 1970's, so might as well go with a finish from the era, too. ** Decent match, but you can tell they're still working on extending Rusev's matches. I smell rematch at SummerSlam with this finish. Might as well make it Submission Only, since both men use Submission holds for finishers.
– Goldust and Stardust act goofy.
– Seth Rollins is awarded a victory via forfeit, but Dean Ambrose shows up anyway for a pull-apart brawl that goes all around the ring and into the crowd. I guess this is supposed to make up for robbing us of what should've been a MOTNC? Rollins worked an injury angle on Raw, but that was all kayfabe from what reports have surfaced, so why the awful example of a bait-and-switch?!
Chris Jericho vs. Bray Wyatt (w/ Harper & Rowan):
You know, these comebacks from Jericho become more meaningless unless he actually WINS a match once in a while, especially on PPV (or whatever you want to call these on the WWE Network). Sorry, I'm still pissed about the non-Ambrose/Rollins match we were offered. Wyatt is still sporting a nasty black eye, courtesy of a potato shot from Ric Flair at a house show in MSG. Lockup and Jericho gives a clean break. They trade blows, with Wyatt no-selling the chops. Whip to the corner and Wyatt comes exploding out with a clothesline. Poor camera work there, catching Jericho call the spot in Wyatt's ear in a close-up. Jericho counters a suplex attempt, but he lets go off the Walls of Jericho to take a swing at Harper. Jericho knocks Wyatt to the apron, and to the floor with a springboard dropkick. He heads to the top rope and dives onto the Wyatt Family pile. Harper tries to get physically involved, resulting in his and Rowan's ejection.
Wyatt uses the distraction to throw Jericho off the apron, into the security wall. Back in the ring, Wyatt pounds away with rights. Charge to the corner meets the post. Jericho comes off the ropes with forearms and from the top rope with a double axehandle. Wyatt counters the bulldog with an awkward tilt-o-whirl stomach buster for a near fall. Wyatt goes for the back splash, but Jericho gets the knees up. Jericho with a running enziguri for two! They slug it out on the top rope until Wyatt takes him down with another weird body buster. Wyatt meets boot on a charge and Jericho takes him down with the bulldog, but the Lionsault meets knees. Wyatt does his creepy Spider walk and plants Jericho with a modified Rock Bottom for two. Wyatt charges into the corner at full speed with an avalanche. Jericho with a roll up, knocking Wyatt's head backwards into the bottom turnbuckle. Wyatt with a DDT on the apron for two. Jericho counters Sister Abigail, but Wyatt fights out of another Walls of Jericho attempt. Criss-cross, and Wyatt's body tackle gets two. Jericho from out of nowhere with the Codebreaker… for three at 15:01?! Well, color me surprised, I guess. **3/4 Good wrestling, but I just don't have much emotional involvement with the program. Definitely a match that looked better on paper than it turned out to be.
– Another commercial for Saturday Night's Main Event on the WWE Network, and again, they used Animotion's Obsession to promote them being added to the Network's Vault, despite EDITING THE SONG OUT ON THE ACTUAL EPISODES. I'm not in love with the song, but it takes away the genuine feel of the show, especially when they are using it to advertise them.
WWE Intercontinental Championship Battle Royal:
(Participants: Big E., Alberto Del Rio, Cesaro, R-Truth, Ryback, Curtis Axel, Zack Ryder, Titus O'Neil, Damien Sandow (dressed as… geeky retired old man?), Heath Slater, Diego, Sin Cara 2.0, Xavier Woods, The Great Khali, Kofi Kingston, Bo Dallas, Dolph Ziggler, The Miz, Sheamus)
How did Ryder sneak into this thing? Khali needs to stay out of a wrestling ring. He looks physically incapable of walking these days without looking like he's going to fall over. Sheamus is the reigning U.S. Champion, so he's not winning. Former Intercontinental Champion and recently injured Bad News Barrett shows up to deliver some BAD NEWS… whoever wins will just be keeping the title warm for him. Everyone dog piles Khali and shamelessly sell him over-powering ALL OF THEM. Khali dumps Woods at 0:41, and then Zack Ryder at 0:45 (at least he wasn't first, right?). Sheamus with the Brogue Kick, and a bunch of guys team up to dump Khali at 1:07. Bo Dallas tosses Sin Cara 2.0 at 1:32. Ryback tosses R-Truth at 2:47. Curtis Axel is dumped with little fanfare at 2:51. Diego tosses Sandow at 3:19. Ryback tosses Diego at 3:37. Where did the Miz go? Sheamus and Ryback do a mini-match until a Brogue Kick sends Ryback out at 4:50. Miz shows up out of nowhere to unsuccessfully attack Sheamus, and a Zig Zag from Ziggler sends him to the floor, via beneath the ropes.
O'Neil with back breakers and casual throw of Sheamus, but his show-boating allows Dallas to attack from behind and knock him out at 6:13. Cesaro interrupts the celebration. Kofi misses Trouble in Paradise and gets back dropped over the top rope, but he hangs on and slips back in through the ropes. Del Rio with the Cross Armbreaker on Ziggler, because why not. Ziggler hangs Del Rio up across the top rope and tosses him out at 8:06. Miz gets beat up for a few seconds and back to taking a nap. Cesaro belly-to-belly's Big E. out at 8:43. Kofi with a contrived spot from the shoulders of Big E., lands back in the ring to avoid elimination. Cesaro FINALLY eliminates Kofi with a suplex at 9:59. Slater sneaks up and tosses Cesaro at 10:06! THE FUCK!? Sheamus knocks Slater out with the Brogue Kick at 10:31! Sheamus tosses Dallas to the apron and clubs him across the chest. Ziggler dropkicks Dallas off the apron and out at 11:03. Sheamus wins a slugfest with Ziggler. They counter each others signature spots until they blow a spot in pretty ugly fashion. There's another concussion for Ziggler if dropped any more wrong on his head. Ziggler knocks Sheamus out at 14:04, after another bit of back-and-forth, and Miz sneaks in to toss Ziggler and win the IC Title at 14:10. Decent by Battle Royal standards, but mostly meaningless fluff. Bo Dallas should've been given the strap for obvious reasons (he's fresh, with a developing character, and undefeated streak), but Miz is a fine choice… right? Because EVERYONE loves the Miz… right? I'm sorry, but the Miz was probably my last pick (of serious choices) to win. Just because he's an after-thought didn't make him a good choice, especially with how much of a loser he was made to look like throughout the match.
WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match:
John Cena © vs. Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton vs. The Demon Kane:
I still don't understand why Reigns is involved in the match after all the nonsense where Reigns was being kept out of the Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Why not just make it a Handicap Match. As much of a Kane fan I've been… it's time to say goodbye to Kane in a meaningful role. I'm just over it now. Spoiler alert: Cena wins, LOL. Sorry, I'm on the bandwagon with that dumb joke. Cena has both belts, despite rumors they "quietly" retired the big gold belt last week by giving it to Flair. Pretty weak reactions all around during introductions. Cena and Orton take it to the floor in Part 1342 in their PPV Wars. Kane and Orton try to single out Reigns, but he holds his own. Cena with his sucky "fisherman" suplex on Orton for a two count. Now it's Cena's turn to fight 2-on-1 while Reigns plays Solitaire in the floor. Cena and Reigns tease a confrontation to a minimal reaction, but it's broken up by OrtKane. Kane with a DDT on Reigns for two, pissing Orton off. They trade blows, and it all builds to a super-sized Powerbomb/Super-Plex spot. Orton somehow recovers and hits Cena and Reigns with his rope-assisted DDT, but Kane breaks the cover. Kane with a big boot to Orton for two. Reigns with a Samoan Drop on Kane for two. Orton takes Reigns down and slaps on a single-leg crab. Reigns counters and Cena slaps on the STF, but Kane interrupts. Cena gives him the AA, but the momentum sends him to the floor. Cena with the STF on Orton for a second time, solo version, but it's too soon for the match to end.
Cena pulls Orton from the ropes, reapplies the hold, and Reigns makes the save by pulling Orton to the floor and tossing him over the announcers table. Cena and Reigns having a big showdown wouldn't be a bad idea, but Cena's fought the Shield quite a few times over the years, so it's not some kind of uncharted territory. Reigns with a Samoan Drop, but the Superman Punch misses. Cena with the back suplex, and the 5-Knuckle Shuffle is countered with Superman Punch, attempt #2. Reigns with the Spear, but Kane breaks the pinfall. Again, poor camera work shows Cena peaking over Reign's body to make sure Kane was in position to break the cover. Reigns with the Superman Punch to Kane, and the running kicks to the heads of all three men. Spear to Orton, through the security wall… thay spot is over-done, for the record. Spear to Kane, but Cena breaks the cover. Cena covers, and Reigns breaks it. Cena with the AA on Kane, Reigns interrupts. Reigns covers… you know the rest. Cena with the AA on Reigns, but Kane breaks it up at two. Kane with Chokeslam's, but Reigns kicks out at two. Reigns slips out of the Tombstone and the Spear gets two. Orton with the RKO on Reigns, Cena drops Orton with the AA across Kane, and Cena covers Kane for three to retain at 18:12. That seemed out of nowhere, but at the same time, not quite. *** WWE seems to have been working a lot of multi-challenger matches lately, and unfortunately, it's become a tired trend. This was good for what it was, and was about as good as I was expecting, but Cena's victory never seemed in doubt, and the main event scene is brutally dull with Cena, Orton, and Kane still involved.
Final Thoughts: Thanks for the wonderful bait and switch, WWE. Seriously, this is 2014, not 1981. Doing this kind of bullcrap is false advertisement at it's best, since these aren't genuine fights where a number of reasons could be used to explain a big match not taking place. Take away what would've/could've/should've been the MOTN, and you have a lot of filler. The Tag Title Match opening the PPV was great, the rest was good, but unfortunately, uninspired, boring, and with tons of lame finishes. Wyatt doing a clean job with little build up? Miz winning the IC Title by playing a cowardly chump who couldn't eliminate anyone? Whatever the fuck Paige and A.J. were going for? I'm sorry, but while the actual wrestling says otherwise, this has easily been the worst WWE produced PPV of 2014 (so far). Thumbs Way Down.

Lee Pace Excited to Reprise Role As Ronan in 'Captain Marvel'
Production for the new Captain Marvel film officially began last month and fans are excited as the time draws closer to see fan favorite Carol Danvers grace the big screen in her own live action adventure.
As production began, Marvel Studios posted a press release confirming the details but also revealing some new casting information that would see popular characters return to the silver screen. One of them being Ronan The Accuser who was so effortlessly portrayed by actor Lee Pace in Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol.1!
Speaking on NBC's New York Live, Pace briefly expressed his excitement to reprise his role as the blue-skinned villain:
"I'm excited to be back!"
As always, interviewers tried to fish for information about the film but Pace gave nothing:
"I know nothing, I don't know anything. I wish I could tell you all the secrets but I don't know any secrets."
The film will also see actors Djimon Honsou and Clark Gregg reprise their roles as Korath The Pursuer and Agent Phil Coulson. Captain Marvel will be set in the 90s and will follow Carol Danvers as she becomes one of the Universe's most powerful heroes when Earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races: the Kree and The Skrulls. Are you excited to see Lee Pace reprise his role? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

As architecture moves forward, buildings face the ever-evolving challenge of, how to stand-out among the crowd. As a supplier, Danpal has a potential answer, and we refer to it as Danpatherm. This cassette-based concept gives us the opportunity to use our Danpatherm K7 and Danpatherm K12 based façade solutions, as carriers for advanced LED lighting systems. This trick of lighting is unique in our market, and is what allows the Danpatherm Façade System to 'stand-out from the crowd'.
Let's take a step back for a moment, so we can understand what sets the K7 and K12 façade solution, apart from other translucent offerings. The Danpatherm design concept relies on the implementation of fully finished off pre-fabricated cassettes, which are flanked by Danpalon panels covering each face. These double-glazed units are sealed-off against external elements and arrive on-site, sized and ready for installation. Having the finished product arrive on-site, drastically reduces both the man-power and man-hours need for a successful installation.
So we have established that time on site can be reduced, and that the cassettes arrive fully completed, negating the need for additional engineering on site. The next attribute to consider, which is key to our Danpatherm system, is that in our case, double-glazing means that you can remove either the exterior or interior face of the cassette, without compromising the weather line. When considering long-term maintenance issues, this ability will become both ever more important and impressive. Can you imagine the cost implications of needing to have an entire façade removed, and in doing so, compromise the building's occupants?
The next more obvious point to cover, is that by using two Danpalon microcell panels, together in a single cassette – we can more than double the U-Value! More than double the u-value, just how is this possible, you might ask? Well, by separating the 2 Danpalon panels with an air-gap, we have essentially trapped a layer of air, as additional insulation. Still not enough, how about using the cassette as a carrier for glass fibre insulation material, and achieving a u-value of 0.52 W/m2 K! A point to remember is that even by adding in the insulation material, we are still able to achieve measurable levels of light transmission.
Now, if it wasn't enough that a single façade system type, could offer all these attributes, with some of them being completely unique – K7 and K12 can also bring you LED light! To achieve this highly technical feat of engineering, Danpal partnered with LED lighting experts, who together developed a bespoke lighting solution for the Danpatherm cassette module. The solution is comprised of separate IP67 outdoor certified LED units, each with the capability to produce a full spectrum of both colored and white light.
What does this mean for an architect, and what does this mean for their next building project? It means that the architect now has the power to uniquely transform the very face of the building, into a vivid display of light! A display of light that reflects the architect's intention and that speaks the design language of the building. A perfect example of this technology in use can be seen in use, in the Antel Arena in Uruguay. This multi-purpose indoor sports arena, can cater for up to 15 000 people and lights up the night time sky, with a light display visible from miles around.
Perhaps it is time that we re-think our view on Danpatherm, and in the process, rediscover the magic of LED light displays. To look upon our projects with an eye for, what might be and what can be done, by approaching the design with a 'child-like' openness to the 'impossible'. At Danpal, we have a habit of turning the impossible into reality, by allowing our clients the magic, to design with light. We call this… Light Architecture!

Welcome to a world of appearances and extra abilities of any creature found in Minecraft. Metamorph Mod 1.18.2/1.18/1.17.1/1.15.2 has the purpose of allowing the character change at the player's choice whenever he wants.
With Metamorph Mod you can become any kind of hostile creature or animal of Minecraft, even acquire their special abilities. As the only condition to be able to transform your character into any creature, is that before you must kill it, this means that you can only become a wolf if at some point in the game you have killed someone.
Metamorph Mod is basically a modification with functionality like Morph mod or Shape Shifter Z mod. This has more than 30 mafias in which you can transform into Minecraft. Get into each mafia in Minecraft and eliminate them to get their perspective and skills
How to install Metamorph Mod
Each morph that you equip or apply with Metamorph Mod gives you its different appearance, size and health capacity. Except for those properties, each metamorphosis also has special abilities, attack and action.
To install this wonderful mod, you just have to follow the following steps that we will show you below:
- Make sure you first have the Minecraft Forge Mod file in any of these three versions: 1.12.2, 1.11.2 and 1.10.2.
- Then you must download the file of the Metamorph Mod in any of the three versions mentioned above, remember that they must be corresponding.
- Now you must click on the file already downloaded from Minecraft Forge Mod so you can start the installer.
- Copy and paste the file you have downloaded from the Metamorph Mod modification into the folder of your .minecraft / mods.
- If you have followed all these steps to the letter, you will be able to obtain the abilities and the appearance of any creature that you eliminate in the game.
Features of Metamorph Mod
In Metamorph Mod the abilities give special properties to the morphs. The chicken morph will fall slowly and you will not receive any damage from falling. While the Spider and CaveSpider morphs will be able to climb the walls. Bat morph can fly and has a clear night vision.
The attack is an effect that is applied to the entity that attacks. For example, if you hit any creature while in Morph CaveSpider, your attack will have the effect of a poison potion. If you hit a creature while in VillagerGolem morph, you will throw your opponent into the air.
The action is a special ability that is activated by the "action key" which is the "V" key by default. Examples: in Rabbit morph, you will jump high; in Creeper morph, you will explode like a vine, and so on.
The skills that have been verified are within the game code, but probably not yet functional. They are basically implemented. To become another creature, you must first acquire a morph. To acquire a morph, you have to kill a mob, then a ghost of this mob will appear, which is known as morph, and when you raise it, you will acquire one. Only vanilla mobs have their own morphs.
Once you have at least one morph, you can transform into it. Use the "[" and "]" keys to advance through the list of morphs. And to become the one you select, just use the "enter" key.
You keep your forms even after death. In creativity, you can select any morph available through the "Morph Creative Menu" which you can open by pressing the "B" key in the game.

Yahoo: How to sign in to my email account and how to change my password? YAHOO continues to be one the world's most used email providers, along with Outlook and Gmail.
The California-based organization have various administrations over the web including a web crawler and media source – and their Yahoo Mail framework has more than 200 million dynamic clients, as per 2019 figures.
How can I login to my Yahoo Mail account?
From the start, there are already a range of options to sign into your account.
You don't just have to provide your email address, you can give your username – the part before @yahoo.com – or your mobile phone number if you have added it to your account.
Unlike username and email address, to log in with your phone number, you will need to request a code be sent to your phone to log in.
Once logged in, you can add extra security measures to ensure your account is as secure as possible.
The security key requires you to purchase a USB key to plug into your laptop, which will allow you to sign in with a fingerprint or with a separate code.
Yahoo also have another verification method called Yahoo Account Key – you will need to download a Yahoo app, like Mail, and in your settings, enable the Account Key.
This means that every time you try to log in, instead of needing to provide a password, you will get an alert on your phone whether to accept or decline the attempt.
You can also set up your Yahoo account on third-party apps such as Outlook on desktop and mobile, and Android and iPhone email apps.
From there, you can use a single-use app password that you would find in Account Settings to log in.
How can I change my password?
Many of us have forgotten our password, whether you are suddenly asked to verify your identity, or you just have something different from your Amazon, Netflix or social media accounts.
Yet, for email accounts, it can be slightly different, as for Yahoo, enter your email address or username as if to login normally.
Once you are asked to type in your password, click the "Forgotten password?" button – which will give you some options, depending what capabilities you have enabled.
You can select your mobile phone number – where you will receive a code to enter – or you may have a recovery email address set up.
There may also be the option of verification via phone app, such as the Yahoo Account Key through one of their applications like Yahoo Mail.
Choose one of these, change your password and then login as normal.

Nowadays, a business without an online presence is rare. This is because it's pretty hard to make a dent without one.
The entire world is using the internet – from babies to grannies! When you need information, products, or services, you go to the internet.. duh.. so if your business isn't present on the internet, then you are most likely to miss out on customer AND sales.
It's a competitive space with lots of businesses, all vying for their place in the spotlight, but that does not mean it's impossible to make your brand stand out of the crowd. There are Mobile app development companies, that develop user-friendly apps and website for the businesses to help you get with started.
Here are the 7 Tips to Make Your Business Presence Valuable Via Digital Marketing Services
Table of Contents
Ensure Your Website is Mobile-friendly
If you wanted to google something in a jiffy, where would you go? On your phone right! Because you hold that power in your pocket. And when as a user you click on the result, you want the website you're looking at to be mobile-friendly.
The number of people using their smartphones to search the internet is ever increasing and is expected to reach around 3 billion by the end of 2020. This means that not only should your website be user-friendly and attractive on the desktops, it also should be very easy to use on a smartphone screen. If your website isn't user-friendly and loads slowly on smartphones, the users are unlikely to stick around, this translates to fewer customers and a higher bounce rate. Google assesses your website to see how mobile-friendly it is and uses this as a ranking factor. You can either figure it out based on this or can take help from the companies that offer mobile-friendly website development.
Ex: Zappos wants its users to search for whatever they want and so the search bar is the most prominent thing on their website.
Establish a strong social media presence.
We can't ignore the fact that Social Media world is bigger than it has ever been before and it's only going to grow more powerful. Hence, it can't be ignored as a key tool for marketing purposes. Many businesses have successfully grown their customer base solely with Facebook and other major social networks. Being present on the Social networks, engaging with your audience, speaking their language, hanging out where they already are is more important than ever.
Social media channels provide you with access to valuable customer feedback and open a direct line of communication with your target audience. Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter provide an opportunity to exchange messages directly with customers and other businesses. It is up to you to grab this opportunity and establish your brand. You can do this on your own, with your in-house team or use a Digital marketing agency to help you out.
Create valuable content
The phrase "content is the king" is evergreen. Each piece of content that's available in the market, whether it's a video, a blogpost or infographics, contributes to the online presence of the website and the business that publishes them.
Content marketing is one of the best ways to introduce your brand and develop your personality globally and producing content that's relevant, engaging, and informative should be your priority. It doesn't end here, your content should also reflect your brand's core values, aims and must ALWAYS add value.
Use the power of Search Engine Optimization
You can take all the resources and time in the world to maintain a polished and functional website, but without a proper SEO strategy, potential customers would never see it. You must optimise your content to make sure that your website shows up at the top of Google search results.
SEO is generally perceived as time-consuming, technically challenging and something that's not worth your time. However, it's one of the most efficient and effective long-term strategies to generate very targeted traffic.
SEO can help you immensely if you know how to use it right. Taking a short-cut could give you some instant results but it isn't great for the long-run. It can also lead to a lot of trouble. Learning how Google's algorithm works and paying attention to the process of content creation can add a lot more value to your business.
Start by researching highly searched keywords in your industry and create content which gives in-depth knowledge about those. Above all, create value.
Build and nurture an email list
Building an email list offers direct access to your core audience, potential buyers or customers. It doesn't matter how many followers you have on a Social network, less than 10% of your followers see your posts. This number can go even lower based on the given Social network's algorithm. When you build an email list, you completely own it and can make sure that each individual on the list receives your email. Remember, email marketing is one of the most essential elements of Sales funnel.
Get listed on web directories
Never underestimate the potential of the web directories. Key directory sites allow businesses to generate more web traffic and reach their target audiences efficiently. These help you rank higher organically and are especially relevant for the local searches.
The secret to gain success with the web directories lies with choosing the one that can add real value to your business.
Link Internal Pages
The internal lining is useful in reinforcing your site and increment your rankings. It helps in the webpage route, building page pecking order, and it conveys page authority all via your site. Having more content to link internally helps you add substance and create value and in turn creates better resources to promote your business.
Effective digital marketing is the key to the growth of your business. Executing the above strategies will surely help you to achieve the goal.
Remember, digital marketing doesn't have to be expensive. It's crucial to produce tailored content for your customers on the channels that they use the most.

Posted on January 10, 2018, by Bryan Zarpentine
The Miami Marlins have already traded away three of their core players this offseason, and they don't appear to be done. Recent reports indicate that the Marlins are still willing to trade several players. More importantly, there are plenty of teams interested in acquiring several of their players. At the moment, the most likely player to be traded before spring training is outfielder Christian Yelich. Rumors indicate that Yelich has quite a few suitors. Here is a look at the teams most likely to land Yelich this offseason.
Table of Contents
Blue Jays, 10%
If the Blue Jays are going to do compete in 2018, they need to add an impact bat to the lineup, and they have space in the outfield. Toronto doesn't appear eager to sell pieces and rebuilt, so it looks like they're going for it in 2018. That is why they have interests in Yelich. Unfortunately, the Blue Jays are lacking in quality prospects to get Yelich. However, they've been known to get creative when making trades.
Braves, 20%
If there's a favorite for Yelich, it may actually be the Braves. New GM Alex Anthopoulos is not afraid to pull off blockbuster trades. Atlanta also has an excellent farm system, so meeting the cost for Yelich won't be an issue if they're motivated to pull off a trade. Yelich would also make a huge impact for a Braves team that's hoping to take a big step forward in 2018.

Brewers, 10%
Milwaukee has been connected to a couple center fielders this offseason, despite having a talented outfield already in place. Remember, the Brewers fought tooth and nail with the Cubs last year and were also relevant in the wild-card race. There's no doubt they see Yelich as a player who could get them over the hump and into the playoffs in 2018.
Giants, 15%
The Giants are almost guaranteed to make a major addition to their outfield this winter. They've been connected to several players, including J.D. Martinez, so it's not a surprise that they've been connected to Yelich. Unfortunately for San Francisco, their farm system isn't the best, so finding the prospects to pry Yelich from Miami could prove difficult.
Nationals, 10%
The Nationals are another team that doesn't necessarily need outfield help. However, they may see Yelich as a way to make a splash this winter. Washington also has to prepare for Bryce Harper leaving in free agency next winter. With Yelich on a team-friendly deal through 2021, Yelich could help in 2018 and help cushion the loss of Harper next winter.
Padres, 5%
The Padres are an interesting competition in the Yelich sweepstakes. They are still a couple years away from being competitive. However, Yelich is under team control for a few years and the Padres appear intent on making a big addition this winter. San Diego's farm system is also loaded, so they have the pieces to pull off a trade.
Phillies, 10%
The Phillies already made a splash this winter by signing Carlos Santana. But they could potentially trade one or two of their promising young outfielders in exchange for Yelich, who is a more established player. Trading for Yelich would put a cap on Philadelphia's rebuilding efforts and make it known that they're ready to compete.
Rangers, 10%
Texas has been connected to several outfielders this winter, so they'll definitely be interested in adding Yelich. Money-wise, Yelich may give the Rangers the most bang for their buck, as payroll definitely appears to be a consideration for them. Texas should also have the prospects needed to meet Miami's asking price for Yelich.
White Sox, 5%
The White Sox are another odd team to have interest in Yelich. However, the fact that he is under contract for several years means that he could be a long-term asset for Chicago. Remember, the White Sox have an elite farm system after all the trades they've made in the past year. If they want Yelich, they have the prospects to make it happen.
The Field/No Trade, 5%
At this point, it's hard to envision Yelich not being traded. The Marlins don't have to force a trade. But there are so many teams interested, one of them figures to make Miami an offer they can't refuse. Also, the price for Yelich will be so high that it's unlikely that a team comes out of nowhere to trade for him.

Please guess my body fat %! Tips to lose stomach fat?
And do I have any muscle? Am I just skinny, or toned? etc.[/QUOTE]
I would estimate at 16% as you have a outline of a good core muscles. You are definitely in the toned scale I wouldn't lose anymore weight I would suggest adding a bit more muscle/ weight will offer a better overall image. As for stomach fat lose I would not be concerned you have very minimal by gaining muscle especially through compound weight lifting (squats, deadlifts etc) you will increase your core size therefore more defined abs etc.

How many social media profiles do you or your business have?
Three? Five? Ten?
Even going out on a limb and presuming you only have a Facebook and a Twitter account, they still take some time to manage.
As such, you will need the proper social media management tools for the job.
But with so many to choose from, which ones would you even use?
Depending on how large your user base is, you'll need to do any and all of the following:
- Interact with your audience on several profiles. That includes replying to comments and private messages.
- Schedule quality content on multiple platforms.
- Curate content and share it with your public.
- Research and leverage user and post analytics to create better marketing strategies.
We've prepared a list of five essential tools just for these occasions. Here they are, in no particular order.
1. Squirrly Social
Squirrly Social allows you to schedule everything from one place. If you have a handful of social profiles, one of a few things could happen:
- You're active on all of them and that eats up a lot of your time;
- You're active on some of them, but feel sad you can't contribute to the others;
- You quit ahead of the game because you have a dozen social accounts and no way to manage them all;
To avoid a headache or twelve, consider a platform such as Squirrly Social to manage all of your accounts in one place. It supports all the big ones (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn).
But we did mention a handful. So by using the Squirrly Social connections, you can use a free Buffer account that allows you to extend your control to other platforms, including:
- Facebook Groups
- And more
If you've set up a content calendar, you're going to have a lot of work on your hands, scheduling posts on social media.
Squirrly Social allows you to schedule everything from one place. You can even create categories and repeat each post several times.
On the other hand, you can also let Squirrly Social help you write the best posts for you. It can even automatically add hashtags and emojis to your posts.#SquirrlySocial can automatically find the best hashtags for your posts. Click To Tweet
You can even use their Social Media Assistant feature to find a list of posts according to what you are searching for, that you can share with your followers. Or you can set it to post things from your RSS feeds as soon as they're published.
That is very useful if you're publishing very often and would like your audience to know as soon as you have something fresh out.
If you don't feel like doing it yourself, you can delegate some social media tasks to your team. You didn't think you were in this alone, did you? The tool has some excellent team management options.
All in all, Squirrly Social seems like a lifesaver to anyone to wants to master the art of social media management.
2. Instagram Analytics
Instagram marketing could benefit from some great social media management tools.
The way the platform is built guarantees a broad range of content for all sorts of audiences. That can put a hole in some marketers' plans, however. They would need a way to know who these people are, for better targeting.
And what better way to know your audience than to get an idea about the demographics?Get to REALLY know your audience with demographic analytics by #Instagram. Click To Tweet
With the new Instagram Analytics, you can:
- See your followers' location, either by country or by city. That helps you time your post scheduling.
- Get an idea about your audience's gender prevalence.
- Divide your followers into age groups.
All of the above are an aside to the integrated post analytics. The whole system is similar to Facebook's "Insights" feature, even being named as such. Those familiar with it should have no problem adapting.
In fact, all the demographic data is pulled straight from Facebook. That helps give Instagram marketers the best and most accurate graphs about user engagement.
For the rest of you who aren't that familiar with "Insights," here are more of Instagram's newest capabilities:
- Impressions: gives you accurate information about how many times your posts have been viewed.
- Reach: only presents the number of unique accounts that have viewed your content.
- Website Clicks: should be pretty self-explanatory.
The feature also allows you to view "Follower Activity" information. What does that mean? Well, it determines when your followers are most active on Instagram.
That allows you to figure out how to create your posting schedule so it gets the most engagement possible.#Optimize your content schedule with #Instagram analytics. Click To Tweet
But possibly the most useful aspect of the new Analytics is the "Top Posts" mechanic. Instagram sorts out your posts according to the number of Impressions they have. You can do that for posts created in the last week, or in the last month.
The number of times your posts have been viewed is displayed over the thumbnail of the picture. That allows you to see exactly how successful each post has been, not just by the number of likes it got.
Think of how well you can optimize content for your page's audience now. With that much information, it's not hard to deliver results for your fans.
A problem people might find with the tool is that it's currently only for Instagram business pages. It might leave some feeling left out.
Let's Talk about Insights
Now, social media insights are very useful on their respective platforms. But what if you want to track your blog's performance on social media? What about SEO performance and traffic analytics?
These are also aspects you should consider if you want to know what areas to focus on.
3. ContentLook
ContentLook is more than just a site audit tool. It is a site/blog performance analyzer with built-in team capabilities. It also analyzes your SEO performance and offers helpful information on what you can improve.
Here is what information it can provide:
How much traffic your website is getting – overall, as well as based on each post. You can use it in tandem with the above point to evaluate what works for your blogging strategy.
How well optimized your articles are for SEO. The easier it is for your audience to find you on a search engine, the better.
ContentLook calculates your SEO score based on a variety of factors. You can read about them here if you are interested in the details.
Of course, offering you that information isn't enough if you can't put it to good use. Fortunately, ContentLook also provides some team management features to help you out:
The option to connect the app with Google Analytics and Trello.
Create and analyze digital marketing Campaigns. For example, do you want to reach 1000 likes and 10,000 views on a post? Create a Campaign that lets you know how far you are from your goal."
This tool is continually being improved for your convenience. Most likely it will see integration with Slack in the near future. Besides other features, that is.
4. Pinterest Scheduler
As we've mentioned, Buffer allows you to track the optimal times at which you should post. We can't stress enough the importance of posting during these online traffic "rush hours" to increase exposure for your posts.
Besides, you don't want to spam your users with too many posts. For one, they might miss some of them because people don't frantically refresh the page to check for new posts.
It also doesn't help that you're not spreading out your content over a longer period. You'll soon find out that you've burned out and have run out of posts.Spread your pins over time for better exposure with Pixlee's #Pinterest Scheduler. Click To Tweet
Unfortunately, Pinterest suffers from a lack of a scheduling feature, so people look to other apps to do it for them. If Pinterest is part of your marketing strategy, then Pixlee's Pinterest Scheduler is just such an app.
It has a content calendar so you can create a great posting strategy over time.
The best part is that it allows you to manage schedules for multiple accounts! If you have more than one page, this must be a godsend.
5. Everypost
Here we have another in the series of social media management tools. At its core, Everypost is a content curation platform. And yet, it is so much more than that.
You can curate content from the following platforms:
- YouTube
- Flickr
- RSS feeds
Alternatives such as Buffer and HootSuite would only let you curate content from RSS feeds and app extensions.
Everypost is a lot like Buffer in some regards. But at the same time, it offers added functionality.
Besides the usual social media platforms, you have the option of posting to Tumblr, Dropbox, and even by email!
An interesting feature is your ability to save social posts to Dropbox for future reference.
You can also post to WordPress and Evernote through your email account. That's some all-in-one action Everypost has got going for it.
Another feature worth mentioning is that Everypost allows you to add YouTube videos, video links, and native mp4 files to your posts.
When it comes to music, you can add Grooveshark embeds, links, and native mp3 files.
In both cases, Buffer would only allow you to post links to your media. If you prefer to upload your own files instead of using somebody else's work, Everypost has your back.With Everypost, you can customize content for each social platform before cross-posting. Click To Tweet
Everypost also allows you to customize your content for each social platform before you cross-post.
No more thinking up messages that apply universally to all platforms. You can add each social media platform's particular metadata tag (hashtags, mentions, etc.) and post away.
One thing I have to mention is that you can use Everypost together with your team. When businesses grow, or even when their social media presence grows, one social media manager is not enough.When your online presence grows, one #socialmedia manager just isn't enough anymore. Click To Tweet
The tool lets you manage your team of social media workers and set access and posting privileges for each of them.
All in all, Everypost has some nifty features that set it apart from similar social media management tools.
Social Media Management Tools: Better than the Real Thing?
You have to wonder why social platforms didn't think of some of these features beforehand. At least Facebook's Insights and Instagram Analytics are a step in the right direction for social marketing.
These tools allow you more time on your hands to create great content. To recap, by using these tools, you can:
Take advantage of user and post analytics to optimize schedule times and the type of content you post;
Customize and schedule posts at convenient times for your fanbase;
Curate valuable content to share on your social profiles;
Post content instantly from wherever on the Internet;
Calculate your SEO scores and get information on what you need to improve on your blog and articles;
Benefit from necessary team management tools so you and your colleagues can work more efficiently
That's quite the baggage of applications to include into your social media tool-belt. Don't try them all at once; you might blow a fuse. 🙂
Now, applications are all fine and dandy. If you're a social media expert, you will know how to put them to good use. But what if you aren't?

If you want to improve your profitability maybe it's time to look at a private label program.
Here is an old post from a couple of years ago that continues the theme of the last two days titled What type of savings should we see when we source Private Label items Part I and Part II. The information is a little more basic but does supply some reinforcement for the last two posts and links to where you can learn more. Enjoy!
If you already have a private label program maybe it's time to grow your offering or increase your mix of private label products.
According to Wikipedia Private Label goods and services are available in a wide range of industries from food to cosmetics.
Historically these products or store brands were positioned as low cost alternatives to major national and international brands. Today if you read the labeling many of the products are virtually identical and in some cases companies are positioning their brands as better or premium to the large brands.
A great source if education is The Private Label Manufacturer's Association or PLMA. Their website is www.plma.com. PLMA sponsors an annual show which this year is being held in Chicago the 14th-16th of November. This show is full of great workshops as well as manufacturers that would be glad to compete for you business.
According to GfK Roper, 57% of all shoppers now say that they purchase store brands which represents a 21% increase from ten years ago and an impressive 38% growth rate.
E-procurement tools typically assigned to the e-RFX suite are an ideal way to source these products and will help to drive your costs even lower. Start with an RFI to select the companies or manufacturers you are interested in partnering with and then invite the best few to bid for your business.
Contact a SafeSourcing customer services representative in order to learn how we can help you optimize your Private Label program.
We look forward to and appreciate your comments.

Taylor Photo SimonSees.com
The District of Taylor is a small municipality situated on the Alaska Highway in Northeastern British Columbia. The town sits on a terrace 60 m (197 ft) above the north bank, looking down on Peace River. The geography of the region helps to bless the region with good weather, year-round. The south-facing terrace and the Peace River form the Taylor Flats' microclimate. This produces more frost-free days than the of the Peace River region. Additionally, the rain shadow created by the Rocky Mountains ensures the town receives a suppressed amount of precipitation, especially snowfall.
Visitors to the area should take advantage of the regions fantastic climate, and engage in some of the many outdoors activities available. The Peace Island Park Trail System provides numerous trails through lush forests, and along the banks of the mighty and majestic Peace River. The trails are groomed in winter for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and dog-sledding, keeping them useable, year-round. The Lone Wolf Golf Club is an 18-hole, par 72, 7141 yard championship course open to the public from mid-April to late September.
Taylor is located in northeastern British Columbia on Mile 36 of the Alaska Highway. It is situated 56 km (36 mi) north of Dawson Creek and 18 km (10 mi) south of Fort St. John.
Located on the banks of the mighty Peace River, this broad plane has been home to the settlers of Taylor since the early 1900s.
Originally Taylor Flats, the area has been part of the Peace Region for over ninety years. In 1912, Donald Herbert Taylor (Herbie) and his wife Charlotte and their children settled in this area. He was a trapper and ferryman who maintained a Peace River crossing for fur traders, prospectors and homesteaders heading for the north. He also made a living by carving paddles and playing his fiddle for dances.

Habits Create Events.
I'm not much on New Year's Resolutions any more. Mostly because the passing of a year doesn't excite me much, as I'm on my 63rd lap around the sun. I'm grateful and humbled to still be running laps, to be sure.
What I'm left with, then, is a bit banal and boring — and perhaps the essence of creating opportunities that are not boring, but inspiring and enriching.
So here are what I'm reminding myself about my habits this new year:
Habit #4: Show up where you're supposed to.
Woody Allen is credited with saying "80% of success is just showing up." Somewhere else he said it was just 70%.
James Caan said "Showing up every day isn't enough. There are a lot of guys who show up every day who shouldn't have showed up at all." I get his qualifying point — show up where you're supposed to.
Habit #3: Get back up. Just one more time than you fall.
That's trite as well — trite and true. I'm not saying we keep doing what doesn't work — that's stupid, but I am saying, "Never. Give. Up."
Habit #2: Habits create events. so get your habits right, and expect good, meaningful, joyful events.
This is similar to #1, in that our habits create opportunities and exacerbate failures. Wealth comes from frugality, industry, and integrity, not lotteries. Habits are the cement in our foundation's concrete — what hardens us to handle our trials. And 'NO', playing the lottery a lot — a habit, does not increase the odds of ever winning it.
Habit #1: Part of getting your habits right is avoiding a focus on your failures and the associated anxieties and deliberately remembering your successes and the sense of fulfillment and contentment they continue to give. The former motivates you from fear; the latter motivates you from joy.
Like the joy waking up knowing my blog post needs polishing, to sharpen it.
Happy New Year
