It did not affect Stephen King's bottom line at all, but it took me a long time to get around to reading one of his books, mainly because I never really enjoyed horror movies, especially the slasher/splatter variety, which, for some reason, is the kind of story I thought King told. One reason King's finances should remain secure despite whatever happens to publishers is the fact that large numbers of readers who ignored him for years eventually discover him and pick up a few of his books. I know I'll read at least three more eventually: Carrie, The Stand, and The Gunslinger.
You probably don't give a damn why I got off my high horse and gave him a try, so I'll just direct you to my review of King's On Writing if you're at all curious. 'Salem's Lot is King's second book. I was surprised that it took a relatively long time for the horror action to start. Maybe that is directly due to the difference between readers of commercial fiction of the 1970s, and their attention spans, and readers today? The slow start was well written. King can set the scene. His descriptions of nature, the town, and people's personalities are great, even beautiful. The horror here was not slasher/splatter at all. I loved the way it grew, yet while it grew, brought on by vampires, the ordinariness of the everyday still took place. The sun rose and characters observed nature's beauty and were not even sure, in a way, if the night's horrors could have been real. I don't know if that is trademark King, but I am interested in finding out.

According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, more than 100 million* Americans with chronic ailments often suffer from multiple conditions. Often, these patients don't receive a complete diagnosis, leaving their records uncoded, which may affect the patient's future quality of care. A recent case study conducted by PRX with more than 1 million prescriptions from Medicare patients, revealed that more than 13% of the prescriptions didn't match a diagnosis of the patient.
Which are the consequences of uncoded conditions?
1) Unaddressed patients
Uncoded health conditions may be due to a miss diagnosis or that the physician didn't address a specific condition of the patient, by which the patient may get worse.
2) Quality of care
If the patients' primary care physician is out of the office and the patient gets checked by a locum physician fulfilling the duties of the PCP, the latter may not be completely aware of all the patients' conditions, therefore undertreating the patient and delaying care.
3) MACRA law: value-based care
In April 16 2015 the MACRA (Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act) legislature was signed into law, which rules would be later approved and implemented by November 2016. The most important rule on MACRA is the new payment models to physicians who care for Medicare beneficiaries. Under the MACRA physicians will be compensated on merits and the results of the patients' outcomes. CMS will rate physicians based on the acute and chronic composite measures for ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSC) and total all-cause hospital readmissions.Hence, physicians need to be more careful with charting and documenting the patient.
4) Population health management
Population Health Management is the aggregation of patient data across multiple health information technology resources, the analysis of that data into a single, actionable patient record, and the actions through which care providers can improve both clinical and financial outcomes. Government agencies, payers and health systems use this data to measure the health state of a specific geographic region (county, city or state). Without proper coding these measurements may be off which can affect the data used to calculate the metrics for value-based payments.
To reduce uncoded health conditions, a company called PRX Control Solutions developed a free add-on for EHR (electronic health records) vendors that allows healthcare providers match the patients' health conditions and medications, alerting them of uncoded chronic conditions and the prescription of a controlled substance or antibiotic without a proper diagnosis code.
About PRX Control Solutions: PRX is digital health company based in Miami, Florida that offers a smart prescription platform to health plans and payers, focused on detecting improper prescriptions, abuse and waste, and on providing better prescription data to their clients.

Small Business Support for your companies IT Systems
Who are Manchester Small Business IT Support?
Hi! my name is Steven Cole and I am the owner / director at Manchester Small Business IT Support. I have been working in IT support and web development for around 15 years, and I've been based in Manchester all that time. For the majority of that time I've worked in IT support roles for education establishments and more recently in the legal and financial industries. I now work with small businesses to offer them my experience that I have accumulated in my career. Typically our ideal client base are small businesses with One to Fifty staff who we can provide with websites, social media, Microsoft Small Business Server and small business support in and around the North West Manchester areas.
Why should we contract you to manage our IT Support?
Good question. The fact that we have specialised in small business support in Manchester for the last four years gives me an unique insight to what kind of IT Support you will need, along with a network of other specialists that we have built trusted relationships with to call upon puts me at the front of the line when you make a decision on your IT Support Specialist.
Whats different from other Small Business Support companies?
We believe in quality not quantity and as we only provide small business IT Support in Manchester we know what works best. We know that every company requires a different level of support and specialism. It maybe enough for one company with three users to have telephone support but a company with 25 users or more will almost certainly require additional on-site support. With this in mind we provide a bespoke personalised service with more than just a voice on the other end of the phone.
Interesting… what next?
You can contact us on 0161 408 6219 or 07825 269 391 alternatively you can email me at email@example.com or you can use our contact page to send me a quick message.

Running for Retrak: Week 3
When you're under strict instructions to vary the terrain of your training run, it seems there's no better place to do it than Brussels: all those rain-slicked cobblestones and tramlines, all those cracked and uneven paving slabs, all those piles and piles of dog muck to avoid. And the hills! You don't realise quite how hilly Brussels is until you try to get round it under your own steam.
So what's the link between this city and a charity in Manchester? Retrak has had strong ties with Brussels since it was founded back in 1996 by Andy and Katina Williams. At the time, Katina was a primary school teacher and Andy was teaching music at the British School of Brussels in Tervuren. They visited Uganda in 1995 to take over Tigers FC, a football-based community project for street kids in the capital, Kampala, which had been set up by fellow Brits Paul Joynson-Hicks and Matt Winn. Tigers FC became known as the Tigers Club Project, and later Retrak, with projects to help children in Uganda, Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania.
Andy and Katina came back to Brussels regularly to report on Retrak's progress and their support group here flourished. "Half the support base of Retrak is still in Brussels," says Kathleen Sheridan, Retrak's public fundraising officer. "Supporters have fanned out from there all over the world. The volunteers we have in Brussels have always been a fantastic and loyal source of fundraising and we probably couldn't count the number of children they've allowed us to help."
A major part of Retrak's fundraising each year is the Brussels 20km. The team currently has 10 members and they'd love to recruit more runners to help support their work with vulnerable kids in Africa. Contact Kathleen if you want to join us.

3 Reasons Why I Regret Not Taking an SAT Test-Prep Course
It was years ago that I completed the SAT exam, then again a second time several months later. I attended and graduated from a four-year college and am now currently enrolled in a test-prep course preparing for the GMAT exam. Although it has been a significant amount of years since I took the SAT exam it's only through my experience of preparing for the GMAT that I realize just how different everything could have gone. I was, and still am, considered very smart. I went to a reputable High School and committed to a study schedule when the time came to take the big test. I scored well and got into a good college. I was happy because I was doing well, it is only now that I realize that doing well is an underachievement if you are not doing your best. Taking a test-prep course allows you to tap potential you don't even know you have. Here are the top reasons why I regret not taking a SAT test-prep course when I had the chance all those years ago.
- I don't know everything
I'm smart, I can admit this, what I can also admit to is not knowing everything. I'm not referring to information that I can learn in a book, because I've studied every book I could get my hands on when preparing for exams. What I'm referring to is not knowing what can only be learned through experience. Taking a test-prep course puts me in a room with an instructor that is a professional in guiding students to reach their full potential. They know all the different techniques to shave minutes off test taking time and how to gauge a student's strengths and weaknesses. Instructors have access to test taking methods that I just did not and could not possess.
- Discipline
I studied for the exam. My studying was not as disciplined as it could have been. When I found available time, or the only time I would admit to being available, I worked on practice problems. By signing up for a test-prep course, however, there is a set schedule. I have assignments and am responsible to commit a certain amount of time and energy to productive studying. Even though I was dedicated to receiving a high score on the exam I found it difficult to always be motivated to study. Having an instructor helped take the burden off of my shoulders. I wasn't solely responsible for my studies, there was someone pushing me to apply myself and demanding that I commit a 100% to my work.
- Stress
I have taken a lot of exams in my life, I have also taken many standardized exams. No matter how many times I take an exam there is always the lingering stress of failure. Even if I'm prepared and know that I'm prepared for the exam there still exists a stress and anxiety. This anxiety translates to slower test taking time, sloppy mistakes, a lower grade than my knowledge should have earned. After taking a test-prep course I was more relaxed during the exam because I had gone through a process of conditioning for test like conditions. When studying on my own there were no time constraints, no pressures or competition. Even if I decided to conduct a practice exam under timed conditions there was no real consequence of breaking the rule. In a test-prep course I was surrounded by other students competing with me for a higher score and had an instructor present who would implement rules on how the class was conducted. By going through this process I was far less anxious than usual because the experience was mirroring previous ones in class. I felt comfortable.
The ultimate reason why I regret not taking a test-prep course in the past is because of my grade. I was happy with my grade but after knowing that it could have been higher I feel disappointed. I settled for something when instead I should have fought to utilize every tool available. Good isn't very good unless it's your best. I now know this and am seeing the results on my GMAT studies. Although I can't change the past what I can do is learn from my experiences and present the lessons I've learned. If you have an opportunity to improve on yourself, take it.

Major new Stevenson manuscript: In The South Seas
Lost manuscript
A major Stevenson manuscript has recently come to light in Ireland. It is a collection of over 90 pages of drafts for his planned historical, cultural and anthropological work on the Pacific islanders, In the South Seas.
The manuscript had never been previously heard of, not being included in the big auction of Stevenson books and manuscripts after his widow's death in 1914, nor in any subsequent sale of Stevenson material. It will be auctioned at Christie's of New York on 3 December this year.
The seller is an Irishman who inherited it from his grandfather, an engineer who lived for a period in New Zealand. The most likely story is that, visiting Samoa some time between Stevenson's death in December 1894 and the final departure of his family in 1897, he was given the sheets as a keepsake. Stevenson's widow Fanny and daughter-in-law Belle distributed quite a number of manuscript pages in this way in the years after 1894, including several pages of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
New sections of In the South Seas
The pages fall into four or five groups (described in the sales catalogue, pp. 347-48), and, Roger Swearingen reports:
[M]ore than half of these are not only unpublished but until now have been known only from chapter titles in various outlines.
The most spectacular group of pages makes up eight chapters of text, 40-plus pages, intended to be the first two parts of the South Seas but never used. The two parts are titled 'Whites in the Pacific' (5 chapters) and 'Contraband' (3 chapters), topics of great interest indeed.
There is also a very full table of contents in which six chapters on Tahiti are listed (these were never written) as well as these chapters on white influences.
And there are two drafts of an unpublished chapter on the island of Manihiki, which the Stevensons visited during the Janet Nicoll cruise, and draft material for four of the published chapters: two chapters on Penrhyn and two on Molokai.
Although the collection of pages represents different part of In the South Seas, Swearingen speculates that
these pages are possibly together because they represent Stevenson's own consolidation of the last work that he did on the South Seas before he dropped plans for an all-inclusive work. At this point he decided to move forward in the planned scheme and write the chapters on the Gilbert Islands, as a self-contained unit. Then he called a halt. This would be in March or April 1891, and Stevenson seems never again to have visited this material.
Stevenson abandoned his innovative 'big book on the Pacific' partly under the weight of the material he gathered, but perhaps mostly because of continual criticism from his wife Fanny and friends at home (including his mentor Sidney Colvin). They clearly wanted a personal essayistic travel book, not the serious (though, of course, ever-stylish) study that Stevenson had in mind. This new manuscript gives us a picture of Stevenson's last attempt at carrying out his grand original idea.
One Response
[…] I have also had the pleasure of making a complete, annotated transcription of the first half‑dozen chapters of The South Seas as Stevenson himself wrote them: forty‑four folio manuscript leaves, 16,000 words, now in the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Yale University (See 'Major new Stevenson manuscript: In The South Seas').

I've been watching Anthony Bourdain's shows since I can remember time immemorial including Ewan Mcgregor's shows since seeing him as a kid on Phantom Menace. I've also seen Adam Richman's Man vs. Food and Andrew Zimmern's various Food shows. I'm currently turning 21 and trying to be a motor-vehicle enthusiast whether its bikes or cars but mostly bikes, I was planning to buy a Yamaha YBR 125 lately but I've fell in love with the Honda CB-110 lately instead of the famous Rousers or Raiders/MIOs out there.
My main concern for buying a motorcycle is because of my nature, I am a 6 foot 220 lbs guy and travelling to school or nearby places via tricycle (non-special fare) is a burden on me. I also would like to use the Honda CB-110 for passenger use I mean for my brother as well when going to places especially school we are of similar build and weight can a Honda CB-110 help us meet our needs? or should we look toward biggers bikes? I tried the automatic MIO of my uncle and it would skid on humps and when I make turns because of my heavy build.
Currently the Yamaha YBR 125 is out of stock and being phased out according to various dealers near my area. I loved the Honda CB-110 because it is a good motorcycle for new users (newbs) like myself and economy friendly on the fuel. It is also dirt cheap compared to others motorcycles and I do not mind the low power of the engine since I am just a student. I am saving up for a one time cash payment so I want advice and tips if given any 🙂
Hey bro,
thanks for visiting the Pinoy Adventure Rider blog. I love the CB110 but I was thinking about your height of 6 foot and 220 lbs. I think you will not fit well in the CB110. Your legs will be cramped and the power will not be enough for you and a passenger. Another PAR member, Ronald Chua is also a tall guy and after a year, he sold the CB110.
I may suggest the new YAMAHA SZ-R 153 cc with also a dirt cheap price of Php 67k [not very sure, i just got this price from other blogs]. It is worth a look. This bike also has a big tank and was already tested by PINOY RIDER Erik on long rides.
Thank you so much for the suggestion, I will go look it up on my nearest dealer and yes I've been wondering about the CB-110 because they said tall and big riders will have an issue with the frame of the bike due to the added panels on the gas tank. If you know any motorcycles than is less than 70k one time cash payment please do let me know with the consideration of me and my brothers combined weight 🙂
I am also looking at the big brother of the Honda CB110. The Honda Unicorn Dazzler 150cc. I have been waiting for this bike to be readily available at any Honda Outlet. I have heard, you can get this at Caloocan for straight cash.
But if the Yamaha YBR 125 is still available should I pursue it? the replacement model of the Yamaha YBR 125 is the Yamaha FZ16 is that big enough for me and my brother? I am out for practical and economical use since I am just a student I am well aware that I do not have the luxury of buying power and design on a motorcycle.
It's SZ16 I think or is it really FZ16 I'm not quite sure 😀
%d bloggers like this:
yup its SZ16 but im seeing an SZ-R. Maybe this is an upgraded version. The YBR is strong but it looks like a workhorse bike.
if you really like the YBR, you can go for it. I saw a tricked out YBR and it also looks good. But you will need additional cash for the upgrades.
Can you help me weigh the pros and cons of one time cash payment with the 2 or 3 year installment plan? 😛
If you can cash it, that is the best.
If you cant, you can go for 2 years. Easy on the wallet. Your Php 65,000 bike can go up to Php 88,000 in 2 years and even more for 3 years.

Was considering reading this until I saw the second review posted the ending. Thanks for that 😐
Least favorite book I've ever read by this author
Fairly good read. Fact check - narcan is a opioid antagonist. It would not reverse effects of Dexedrine. ( unless it was laced with an opioid) Always research what you're not familiar with.
I am very surprised that I didn't like this book, I read several chapters, but just couldn't get into it! I don't buy too many books but I bought this one as a treat. Fourteen dollars! Very disappointed. Sweet sandy in Alva Sandy sweet
I don't like a book that ends like that.

Who We Are
My name is Sandy and I am a writer and tinkerer. My friend, Joyce, is a furniture maker and painter. We both started collecting tools when we were teenagers. We became friends in our early twenties, in part, because we felt like we found a kindred soul in another person who collects tools.
Joyce naturally uses tools to create her furniture. I use them for...uh, tinkering.
There is something organic and satisfying about having the right tool for the job.
There is something sculptural and artistic about a tool beyond its intended purpose.
Joyce and I have found that some of the best places to acquire tools is flea markets, yard sales and estate sales. Steam-punk themed sales often provide interesting finds.
We love collecting oddities. We love collecting tools just for their form and function.

Building a Milk Float Extension
Frontside Gardens
67 Rothbury Road
WICK ON WHEELS will be a running a second self build workshops with Andrew Willis at Frontside Gardens in Hackney Wick, E9. The workshop will explore ideas for possible extensions to the back of the WOW milk float using reclaimed materials found in Hackney Wick and Fish Island. We will be building small tests pieces and brainstorm ideas of how best to extend the back of the WOW truck for a number of different func-tions. The workshops will be running from on Friday the 23rd and Saturday the 24th of November from 10am - 4pm. Everyone is welcome at any time to join in and participate. no previous knowledge of build-ing is required. The workshop will be joined by architecture students from the University of Sheffield.

ABOUT FRONTSIDE GARDENS Was chosen by the London Legacy Development Cor-poration (LLDC) and Tower Hamlets Borough Council as the winners of a competition to make use of a temporary site in Hackney Wick. By reactivating an unused space, using reclaimed and waste materi-als, Frontside Gardens is creating a skatepark which will also be useable as a community area and events space. The plan is to have the park open as much as possible partially governed by local volunteers.

A few years ago I remember walking into a discount store in Toronto and seeing – amongst general mediocracy of everything else – what appeared to be a skirt from another world. A world of luxury, craftsmanship, elegance, and class. I was in a state of complete awe and astonishment. Within this trance from couture bewitchment, I longed to get lost in this mysterious world – the world of Balenciaga!
Balenciaga is a fashion house founded by a Spanish designer Cristobal Balenciaga. After coming in contact with any of Balenciaga's gorgeous creations, his reputation "as a couturier of uncompromising standards" reaffirms itself. It's also not surprising that Christian Dior referred to Cristobal as "the master of us all." I consider his Spring 2008 and Resort 2010 collections fashion masterpieces because they best embody the characteristics of his work that I first fell in love with. Within the Balenciaga aesthetic, I'm especially fascinated by the sculpture-like shapes with the "standout shoulder lines, hand-span waists, and belled hip volumes" – it's modernity meets femininity at it's best!
Here are some of my favourite pieces from Balenciaga's Resort and Spring collections. Enjoy my lovelies!

How can Aloe Vera be the Fountain of Eternal Youth?
It is indeed an extraordinary statement to say that a plant can keep you young forever and it would take extraordinary evidence to prove that it is true.
Fortunately for me, there is plenty of evidence to show that this fabled plant does have wonderful healing properties and I have listed some of the known benefits a little further down.
To answer that question of eternal youth, we'll have to do a little bit of background first to really get to appreciate the true potential of aloe vera.
The fountain of youth exists in the legends of the ages and tales of youth giving springs can be found throughout many different cultures around the world. There is an interesting resemblance of a live aloe vera plant to a bursting spring captured just as it starts to gush out of the ground.
Inside the full, flowing succulent leaves of the plant is a remarkable clear gel substance that has the clarity of spring water and is packed with healthy nutrients and properties. As well as a tonic for the blood and digestive system, the gel can be used to heal damaged skin.
In fact, aloe vera gel is so skin-friendly it can even be used on babies! Now just imagine if you could apply this gel to yourself every day. Do you think there would be a benefit?
Some more benefits of Aloe Vera use
I promised a list and here it is. Don't just take my word for these claims, if there's something that sounds too far fetched, look it up for yourself!
- Anti ageing properties. This is due to it being densely packed with antioxidants, which nuetralise oxidised molecules throughout the body that cause cellular damage.
- Aid in digestion. Aloe has a strong alkalising effect which can regulate over acidity which is the cause of many digestive problems. It also contains enzymes which assist digestion.
- Blood sugar regulation. This is particularly useful for diabetics as aloe vera will stabilise blood sugar levels.
- Circulation support. Again this helps with overall body health as nutrients can reach more areas easily and waste products are removed.
- Immune system support. The supply of immuno-enhancing vitamins helps protect against common ailments.
- Allergic suppression. Aloe vera contains properties that combat allergies and is very effective against hay fever, cat and horse allergies. Can be useful as a first aid in food allergy treatment too.
- Many more benefits than listed. I only supplied a list of benefits that I feel are pertinent to this article, but there are far more uses of aloe vera than I need to mention here.
Conclusion to the 'eternal youth' question
Let's face reality. Nothing on earth lasts forever, and eternal youth is most likely a myth. However, that is not to say that it is not possible to prolong youthfulness to a great degree while alive in the world. This can be done with the help of the extremely beneficial properties freely given to us in the form of the Aloe Vera plant.

Lead Flows
All-in-one conversion pop-ups for your website
#4 Product of the DayJune 21, 2016
- Pros:Cons:
It's simple to add and manage.
You can integrate with MailChimp.
User tracking is brilliant.
Can show on exit intent.
Best, it's effective.
Can't implement it for a variety of cases.
No step of the 3 can be skipped.
It's great if you want Email subscribers. It works well with its default format.
But you can't alter it to use in any other case, like to show a banner with button linked to another page.
You need to become a Contributor to join the discussion.
Hey ProductHunters, Dharmesh here. Lately we've been working on making our free lead capture product, Leadin, much more lightweight and streamlined. We've just released Lead Flows, which distills what used to be a pretty cumbersome lead conversion process into a simple, all-in-one widget. What's great about Lead Flows is that the whole lead conversion process (Blog Post > CTA > Landing Page > Form > Thank You Page > Content) now takes place in one friendly little corner of your website page. Lead Flows puts your CTA, form, and deliverable all in the same little popup widget. No clicking around, no creating new pages, no long, drawn-out process between "ask" and "receive." Lead Flows makes it easier to measure and manage your leads, too. Once a lead is converted on your website, you can track their page view and form submission history, learn more about their interests, and nurture them further along with your preferred email service provider. Lead Flows can be triggered by page scroll, time delay, and exit intent, and can appear as a dropdown banner, page overlay, or slide-in box. We'd love your feedback on this powerful new way of capturing leads on your website. The makers that worked on Lead Flows are ready and waiting to reply to your comments and questions. Thanks for checking it out. Cheers.
Dan Siepen@dansiepen · Marketer
@dharmesh Wow, you guys at Hubspot Rock! These free products are incredible. Well done Dharmesh. I get along well with some of the Hubspot guys here in Sydney. If you ever come to Sydney I would love to meet you!
@dansiepen Thanks for the kind words. Most of the team for Leadin as out of our Dublin office. Those folks are amazing. And yes, I do have plans to visit Sydney within the next year.
Chad Fullerton@chad_fullerton · Founder, FullertonMedia
@dharmesh Fantastic features for a free service. Thanks!
Gary Bryan Dobbs@dobbsshow · Business Processes Consultant
@dobbsshow @dharmesh @socedo Hey Gary - leadin works with HubSpot CRM, making it easy for leads your site captures to flow smoothly into your CRM. If you use something besides HubSpot CRM, then you can easily export/import leads at your convenience!
This is really cool! I love the fact that we can learn more about a lead's engagement through the tool. Would love to test this against a traditional landing page.
Katherine BoyarskyMaker@katboyarsky · Content/Growth Marketer - HubSpot
@donte_ll We're testing that out as well - so far Lead Flows are performing better, but there are still use cases for more permanent landing pages. Would love to talk about any findings you have!
@katboyarsky Will definitely report back to you after trying.
@donte_ll Specifically, Lead Flows are better performing by 699% with 100% confidence in our tests so far ;) Not just a little better, but A LOT better!
@nicholasholland Interesting! Sounds promising. I think you're setting the bar way too high. ;-)
Nishant Gupta@nishant_k_gupta · inbound marketing
@dharmesh It is one of the missing features from hubspot. We are using several different apps and connectors to get this shit done, which is costing us $50 easily. Free lead capturing is actually paid for us today. Having said that "whole lead conversion process (Blog Post > CTA > Landing Page > Form > Thank You Page > Content) now takes place in one friendly little corner of your website page" will solve lot of our problem. I love the fact that I get to see the customer engagement. I will put it on my blog (blog.vizury.com) right now! Woooooo... Going live with it.
Hi @nishant_k_gupta - we've just added the ability to add Lead Flows to your existing HubSpot account! You can check out the details here - http://leadin.hubspot.com/knowle... Let us know what you think, and if you have any issues.
@nishant_k_gupta Thanks for giving it a shot. In my (biased) opinion, this kind of "flow" is much, much better for the end user. Simple and smooth with minimum friction.
@snappiet @dharmesh @nishant_k_gupta Hey! This is a true blessing! But one question, where do I activate workflow for it? How do I send an instant email to someone who fills this form? What is the form named as? What property does it sit under? I know that's a lot of questions, just excited to launch it now.
Shay RedmondMaker@shay_redmond · Product Manager @ HubSpot
Hi @nam, I can shine some light on that. List segmentation and workflow triggers for lead flows is coming very soon to HubSpot. We're working on the final pieces as we speak and should have it in your hands shortly. We were very eager to get lead flows into everyone's hands so didn't want to delay any longer :)
@shay_redmond Hey Shay! So, tried it on our blog. I don't understand why a user has to take 2 clicks to download a small ebook. Is it possible to have the form upfront and on hitting the "download" button, have the ebook (open in a new tab or download it)? Are we missing something or is it built that way? Also, are there any design options for the background of the pop up? I thought since it is from Hubspot, it would be way cooler than Hellobar.
Kelly Kuhn-Wallace@kkdub · 🎯Strategist for Hire
I'm a fan. Some of my prospect inquires turn out to be folks who need a simple, direct way to capture leads & deliver content. Lead Flows is ideal for these marketers & their prospects.
Hi @dharmesh This is an incredible piece of Design and Engineering. Kudos to the Design team at HubSpot, I simply love it. Just a quick think: I'm a Security junkie, so my unique advice is to use HTTPS for the platform.
Thanks @marcosluis2186! We're proud of what we've built and have much more to come. I'm a bit of a security junkie too, so I believe I've used HTTPS throughout when building Leadin - if you've found somewhere I've missed, I'd love to hear about it.
@snappiet by default, the platform use http://leadin.hubspot.com. It would be nice to use HTTPS in all cases. The trick could be solved using Strict Transport Security (HSTS). BTW, amazing work with your SSL conf: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/...
@marcosluis2186 Ah, I see what you mean. That's actually our marketing site, but I'll work to get that on HTTPS also. Our application is hosted on app.hubspot.com, which is entirely HTTPS. Thanks for the heads up!
@snappiet my pleasure to help.

Regardless whether the message protocol provides the address, always parse the document for the address. Select this option to specify that the trading engine should always parse the message for the sender or receiver address. For messages from partners, however, the trading engine still checks the protocol header for the sender and receiver. A message with an unknown sender or receiver in the header is rejected. The always parse option for inbound messages is for finding the identity of true senders or true receivers. For messages picked up from applications, the always parse option tells the trading engine to find the sender or receiver in the message body.

So I tried to stick with things that could be mixed together. I'll link to similar things at the end of the post. I did wear my sneakers a lot because my family does a lot of walking.
crime tour I thought it was really interesting. We also went to a speakeasy it was really fun to do because it's a secret entrance. Here's a list of the 18 best in Chicago. We also tried Jeni's Splendid ice cream. I had been wanting to try that ice cream for a while.
We had a short day in Kansas City so we fit a lot of stuff in. As soon as we got there we went to Joe's KC barbecue Shea recommended it to me. I really enjoyed it, I didn't realize it was a famous bbq place until I saw all the news articles on the wall. We went to a Royals game and after wards got ice cream from Glace. Here are Shea's top 5 ice creams in Kansas City. I picked Glace because I really like Christopher Elbow's chocolates so I thought it would be cool to try his ice cream. I really loved it. It was so rich. I think I would have liked another day in Kansas City. It looked like there were some cool shops and tons of barbecue.

Things Nobody Told You About Cleaning Services.
A good cleansing company can design a customized cleansing policy for your unique needs and preferences to be sure your office is absolutely neat and the staff remains healthier. It is also an instance that a lot of the firms will soon be having nanny services and another service like cleaning service deep cleansing – a form of cleansing that will be more comprehensive compared to the normal cleansing. I wish you'lln't require bleach alongside harsh cleansers. Choose An Insured business: whenever there is an unexpected accident, expert screen cleaning organizations needs to have verifiable insurance coverage.
There is absolutely no reason that your very own employees should be cleansing your business, this not just distracts from unique task, but oftentimes they lack the expertise to complete an adequate clean. One of the first concerns to consider is: Should I employ a cleaning service (a business) or must I find a 'cleaning woman or maid' to accomplish the work?" You can find pros and cons to both.
A company providing cleansing solutions may have every one of the requisite skills and gear to wash your online business to an excellent standard. A dependable and very expert maid solution need quality assurance procedures in place so their cleansing techniques meet and exceed quality criteria each time they visit.
The greatest Chicago workplace cleansing organizations will be able to offer references from pleased customers. The May home cleaning Checklist might help obtain the cleansing and upkeep done promptly. In the event that you call a professional cleansing business regarding 25th and you must have your property cleaned by the end for the thirty days the chances are greater that they'll currently be scheduled.
You'll probably enhance your opportunities for an effective hire if you are more imaginative inside looking methods than writing a help wanted" ad. Sources for prospective workers consist of manufacturers, customers (Use caution here: you never wish to lose a customer because you stole a member of staff) and expert associations.
Two common objections through the naysayer of your home include: We can't pay for it" and It's your work to wash your house." Our tradition has contributed to both of these arguments in which it may possibly be customary for the girl to look after the home inside whilst the guy manages the outdoor work at home.
Typically, they have been trained on how best to manage practically everything in your house thus providing incredible services for you. These packages detail the service therefore the number of people which will be coming to clean. But does signify the cleaning company is using industry standard equipment and efficient cleansing tools that will correctly sanitize and clean each room inside workplace.

Our commitment: Assess and mitigate physical and financial climate change adaptation risks that are material across our portfolio.
Progress: We researched the possible effects of climate change on our portfolio from 2017 to 2100, using best and worst-case temperature change scenarios. We are using the findings of the study to improve our acquisition, design, operation and divestment strategy across our business.
Our research
Rising average annual temperatures could lead to higher cooling costs for our business and our customers. More erratic temperature changes could lead to strain or failure of our mechanical heating and cooling systems. Storms could lead to higher maintenance costs. And flooding, both inland and coastal, could lead to direct damage to our properties. All of these hazards can affect our customers' business continuity.
To assess these risks we have worked with Willis Towers Watson, conducting research using stochastic modelling to help determine the likelihood of potential weather patterns and natural hazards. The modelling looked at how future weather patterns are likely to impact our assets over two time horizons: up to 2030 and beyond 2030.
The likelihood of future weather events was modelled based on the four Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) which are used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to illustrate future concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. We focused on a best-case scenario, where global average temperature increases by two degrees, and a worst-case scenario, with a temperature increase of four degrees.
Our research shows projected average temperature change in both two and four degree warming scenarios. In the four degree warming scenario, average temperature rises to over 14 degrees. This will mean warmer winters but very hot summers.
In the period up to 2030, our analysis showed risks of natural hazards are unlikely to increase in a material way as a direct result of climate change. Natural weather variability will continue, which means storms and flooding could continue to affect our assets. We also found that an increase in average temperature is likely to affect our operational costs of cooling and heating, but not in a financially material way. Our modelling shows the requirements for more cooling, but less heating, will broadly cancel each other out when it comes to costs.
This graph shows the predicted change in energy consumption associated with heating and cooling. In the four degrees of warming scenario, gas consumption drops by 29% and electricity consumption increases by 6%.
The effects beyond 2030 are likely to be different. The risk of inland flood, coastal flood and windstorm will increase. The impact of these hazards will become more relevant towards 2050, resulting in an increased negative impact on the current Landsec portfolio if our control measures remain the same.
Climate risk to our assets
This shows the total number of our assets exposed to physical climate risks. Almost all of the UK is exposed to windstorm, where as a much smaller proportion of our assets is exposed to flooding.
Time to respond
Because the lifetime of our assets can be anything between five and 50 years, we need to take action to address risks now. Through our Responsible Property Investment Policy we're continuing to assess energy efficiency and climate risks when we buy new assets. Beyond 2030, we may need to consider selling assets with high residual risk from natural hazards.
We usually design our developments to last 60 years. Using our Sustainability Brief for developments and engineering specifications, we will continue to create resilient assets capable of withstanding extreme temperature changes. And we'll continue to include warmer temperatures in our design parameters to ensure we don't create unnecessary heating capacity. To manage our buildings effectively, we will continue to invest in controls and efficient energy systems in the period to 2030. And we'll continue to assess our insurance products to ensure we have adequate cover.
Resilience is becoming a major consideration for businesses with impact on insurance, valuation and rents already starting to show in many countries. Landsec are leading the way by committing to protecting their properties and customers from the impacts of climate change as these risks become more apparent."
Partner, Catastrophe & Climate Risk Management, Willis Towers Watson
Our response to resilience is included in our new sustainability brief for developments, and we're working with partners to address climate risk to our supply chain through our new sustainability charter. Climate risk also plays an important role in our acquisitions, insurance and energy procurement processes.

As you folks probably know, I go to Panera a really lot, almost every day. When you do that, you get to know the other people who go there frequently–or at least recognize them. In my neighborhood, there are a couple of older guys who bring their dogs and leash them to the railing outside, to wait while the men get their coffee and so forth. These are big fluffy dogs, blue-eyed friendly patient mush-dogs, huskies. They have the typical look of huskies: stand at about my ribcage, curly tails, icy blue eyes, wolflike structure.
One of these dogs is black and white, with a white face and front. The other looks like the washed out version of him, being gray and white, with pretty much the same markings. They have immense dignity and are politely willing to accept petting, without ever taking their attention off the building that has temporarily swallowed their real gods, the men who brought them. When these men come back out, they stand up, wag their tails, and prepare to insert nose.
Today, when I arrived, there were two dogs leashed outside the Panera, on the railing, in the same spot. However, these were weiner dogs. They had the typical look of weiner dogs: stand at about my ankle, elongated bodies, big sad eyes, pointed ears they might step on at any moment. One was dark brown, and the other looked like his faded shadow: light brown, slightly fuzzier, with pretty much the same markings.
I think I startled some people, laughing out loud at these dogs. Now, weiner dogs are inherently funny, it's true. But not THAT funny. It just occurred to me to wonder what magic transmuted the two huskies into two weiner dogs.
I wonder if you brought your two majestic huskies to lie about in well-trained patience while you got your coffee, and then came out and they were two weiner dogs with disturbing similarities… would you think someone came and switched them? Or would you think some magic had made them shrink?

Scientists discover a 150 million years old plesiosaur in Antarctica
The paleontologist Jose Patricio O'Gorman, researcher at the Museo de la Plata (MLP) and CONICET, told to the Agencia CTyS-UNLaM that "this plesiosaur record is 80 million years older than what was known for Antarctica".

Dr. Soledad Gouiric Cavalli, MLP and CONICET specialist in the study of Jurassic fish, claimed that "when walking through the site you can find a great diversity of fish, ammonites, some bivalves, but we did not expect to find a plesiosaur of such age; It was surprising".
"The finding is quite extraordinary, because in the site there is not the kind of rocks in which you can find preserved materials in three dimensions, as is the case of the vertebrae of this marine reptile", explained the researcher.
This outcropping of the Jurassic has a size of four kilometers long and two kilometers wide and it can only be reached after two hours of helicopter flight from the Marambio Base, so the researchers highlighted the logistics promoted by the Argentine Antarctic Institute (IAA).
There, during the 2016 summer Antarctic campaign, Dr. Gouiric Cavalli, Dr. Jose O'Gorman and the technicians Juan Jose Moly and Leonel Acosta Burllaile camped for 40 days. "It was very exciting to get there, to a place that nobody had stepped on in 23 years", O'Gorman said.
"It is the furthest place where we have arrived with vertebrate pelontology campaigns in Antarctica", alleged Dr. Soledad Gouiric Cavalli. She added: "The Argentine campaigns are usually carried out in the vicinity of the Marambio Base (in the Marambio, James Ross and Vega Islands), but here we have expanded the range of action and we are interested in going to places even further away".
Dr. Marcelo Reguero, researcher of the MLP and director of the paleontological campaigns of the Instituto Antartico Argentino (Argentine Antarctic Institute - IAA), said that "it was necessary to make a lot of logistics to get to this new paleontological site located in Cape Longing and the result was very successful, have rescued a great diversity of fish, plants and this plesiosaurus, and this summer we will go to the new campaign with even greater expectations".
"In the 2016 campaign, a large amount of fossils was obtained and for the expedition next summer we will go with instruments to obtain an even greater number of specimens", anticipated the researcher of the MLP and the IAA.
Dr. Gouiric Cavalli, who will be part of the new campaign to be held in this frozen Jurassic sea from January 8 to mid-February, indicated that "there is a surprising amount of fish there and it is logical to think that the plesiosaurus that we discovered would feed on them, because it is a large marine reptile and we found medium-sized fish, some smalls, and some quite large too".
About the excellent conservation of this fauna and marine flora of the Jurassic, the MLP and CONICET researcher explained that "they were preserved because the bottom of that sea had very little oxygen, so there were no organisms that could dismantle those specimens and the phenomenon of putrefaction did not take place either ".
The world 150 million years ago
Dr. Marcelo Reguero stated that "these rich and unique deposits in marine Jurassic vertebrates belong to the time when Antarctica was part of the Gondwana continent and was next to Australia, New Zealand, India, Madagascar, Africa and South America".
150 million years ago the temperature of the seas was much higher and the world map was very different. According to Dr. Jose O'Gorman, this plesiosaurus, besides being the first of its kind in the Jurassic in Antarctica, serves as evidence in favor of the possibility of the dispersal of these reptiles by means of a passage that existed between Africa and Antarctica, which at that time had just separated.

The Next Google, Made in India
If you look at the Indian business landscape, you will see several successful services companies in fields like airlines (e.g. Jet, Indigo), health care (e.g. Apollo, Manipal), mobile phone services (e.g. Idea, Airtel) and IT Services (e.g. TCS, Infosys). Many of these companies are comparable to global peers, if not potential world beaters. What we don't have are the corresponding product companies. We don't have an aircraft maker like Boeing, a pharma company like Pfizer, a network equipment company like Cisco, or a software product company like Microsoft.
Is this is a problem? Yes. Because Boeing and Airbus alone generate almost as much profit as all global airlines put together. Pfizer's profits are more than the profits of top 100 hospitals in US. Cisco's profits are more than those of all European mobile operators. Microsoft generates more profit that the profits of top 20 pure-play global IT Services firms. Take a moment to digest that and it becomes clear that if India remains bereft of product companies, it won't be a sustainable economy in the future.
Building product companies is hard, to be sure. Despite the fanfare, Tata Motors' Nano has failed. And, sadly, Bajaj has been humbled by Honda in the last two years. In high-tech, Ittiam, despite its success in developing core intellectual property in online video, hasn't broken into the main league. And, with our borders open to global competition, is it too far fetched to imagine that in a few years Amazon would have pipped Flipkart and Uber, not Ola, would rule our roads? We may have Indian players serving our digital consumers, but most categories might be dominated by foreign companies. Google already owns our search, Skype owns voice messaging, Facebook owns social media.
Is India destined to lose all these battles? Maybe not! But if we have to win, we have to embrace a new gameplan. Products, especially software products, are a winner-take-all business. Either you win or you are a nobody. Its not a place for the faint hearted.
In fact, tentativeness translates into a loss. It leads to sub-critical investments. We are staring at a costly example of this in the nuclear reactor industry right now. India can build 700 MW reactors. But economies of scale now kick-in at 1600 MW. Since we didn't invest enough in the last 20 years (despite a wonderful start that Homi Bhabha gave us in 1950s), we are not a player in this large-reactor segment. So we will spend more on buying these bigger reactors from France, Russia and US in the next three years than what we have spent on our entire nuclear industry in the past 50 years! This is a really expensive failure.
If this was a one-off case it would still be okay. It is unfortunately not. In telecom, despite CDOT, CDAC and Sam Pitroda, we have only created one Tejas Networks, a nifty networking start-up from Bangalore. But, guess what? Tejas gets a pidly 1% of the annual telecom capex buys in the country. Rest is imported. We have a big rail network but no rail equipment companies. We are a generic drugs superpower but limp when it comes to new drug discoveries. These failures to create product winners don't even faze us. We pretend it doesn't matter.
We don't even introspect why this is the case. When one sets out to create the world's best hospital, airline or IT Services company, one builds in layers over years. But building a world class product company needs a different mindset. You have go all-in and bet-the-company on market or technology shift that is underway. This mindset is new to us in India. Our success in building services companies comes in the way. We have to accept this Provenance Effect; it is subtle yet significant.
To be sure, we are not the only victims of this effect. Taiwan is a victim of this too. It isn't a player in mobile phones, ironically, because its design services legacy holds it back. Venezuela is not able to crack the chocolate market. El Ray owns the high end cocoa market, a key raw ingredient in chocolate, but comes up a cropper in high chocolates. If you ask the Belgians or Swiss, they tell you that they are a chocolate nation because they don't have the cocoa mindset. Lack of a services industry legacy helps not just Korea but also Estonia (created Skype) and Finland (land of Nokia and Angry Bird games). It turns out that mindset matters — big time!
We have to jettison two ideas that hold us back from becoming a Product Nation! The first one is rather simple. We have to accept that no matter how well-run Indigo Airlines is it'll not become a Embraer or Boeing. Similarly, a Narayana Hrudayalaya hospital will never bring a drug to market like a Pfizer does. Airtel or Verizon will never build a router like Cisco or Juniper do. And TCS will never be a Microsoft. Acknowledging this plain reality is the first step that we must take.
Then, we must discard our mentality of unbridled greed and reluctance to make bets — best showcased in our penchant for large Olympics contingents. Nobody cares about how many athletes you send to a sports competition, they only care about the number of medals you won. To improve odds of winning, small focussed efforts produce better results than grandiose schemes. Today, we have four times more new startups than Israel for one-sixth the outcomes. One reason is that the ecosystem enablers are narrowly sector focussed in Israel. The accelerators that help medical device companies don't work with cyber-security start-ups there. Can't we have a sector-focussed approach in India aiming at solar energy or medical devices, to name just two promising areas to bet on? If someone needs proof of concept: look at our performance in badminton and wrestling in India in recent years. The enablers in these sports are game-specific. Anything that smells like a generic "startup" program will have a low impact. It quite likely to be a scam!
Software product entrepreneurs when they are successful make a big economic impact in this winner-take-all world. So they are being courted worldwide. US is trying to get the Startup Visas in place for them. Canada already has a working program. Singapore has startup tax exemption. UK is in the game too. In our last budget there was a tantalizing line about "a special focus on software product startups". Nine months have passed and nothing material has happened yet. Maybe this new budget will bring some well thought-out policies to light. This year 75% of newly funded software product startups will redomicile themselves in Singapore or US (up from 54% last year).
It is time for India to wake up to our Product Nation imperative. It is an opportunity for the NDA government to write history again. In 1998, they introduced a 108 point policy for IT services and we have the benefits around us to see. Now, they must do the same for software products. For the first time in modern India's history, we have a chance to create world-winning products from India. The decisions we take today to support our flight to become a Product Nation will decide whether tomorrow's Google, Viagra,Facebook, or Uber come from our nation. Act now.
