Driving in severe winter weather poses many challenges. The ice and snow can cause normally reliable roads to turn into hazardous terrain. And if conditions worsen still, there's always the danger of cars getting stuck in snowy conditions and drivers being forced to spend the night on the roadside. With ice and snow making driving conditions on some of the highest risk roads even worse, we've identified some of the persistently higher risk roads where the most accidents have occurred.*
The winter months are a notoriously risky times on the road. Here are some of the most dangerous listed in descending order by crashes between 2013-2015.
1. A32. 38 fatal and serious crashes From M27 J10 to Delme Roundabout; Quay St roundabout to the Gosport ferry terminal.2. A3055. 36 fatal and serious crashes From junction with A3054 in Freshwater to junction with A3054 in Ryde.3. A259. 31 fatal and serious crashes From junction with A2036 at Glyne Gap to just outside Ore.4. A588. 29 fatal and serious crashes From Lancaster to junction with A585 outside Poulton-le-Fylde.5. A6. 26 fatal and serious crashes From junction 54 with A589 in Lancaster to M6 junction 33.6. A4. 26 fatal and serious crashes From junction with Huntercombe Spur to junction 5 of M4.7. A254. 15 fatal and serious crashes From junction with A28 in Margate to junction with A255 near Ramsgate.8. A21. 15 fatal and serious crashes From junction with A2100 to junction with A259
at Hastings.9. A537. 12 fatal and serious crashes From Macclesfield to Buxton. 10. A18. 11 fatal and serious crashes From junction with A46 near Laceby to junction with A16 near Ludborough
To help you prepare for winter driving, here's our top tips for a safer journey over the wintery months…
Make sure you pack the essentials in case your journey takes a turn for the worse. As well as making sure you've packed de-icing equipment and a hazard warning triangle. It may also be worth packing things like food and drink, extra warm clothes, shoes and blankets, a phone charger pack, a working torch and a first aid kit.
Make sure you switch on the local radio to keep up-to-date with the weather on your journey. It might look fine as you're setting off, but the last thing you'll want is to get stuck mid-journey when it takes a turn for the worse. Prepare a different route in advance so a Plan B should your route be disrupted by weather conditions.
Most of us have very little experience of driving in extremely cold conditions, so take some time to consider how it affects your driving. If you find yourself driving in snow or on icy or snow-covered roads, reduce your speed to limit the risk of skidding. Remember, speed limits are the maximum in ideal conditions, not icy ones. Our latest poll found that the majority of drivers are failing to adapt their driving techniques in winter road conditions. Over nine million admit to not reducing their average speed on icy roads, while one in five are failing to increase the distance between themselves and the vehicle in front – two big faux pas when driving in severe winter conditions!
Right now, many motorists are risking driving without full vision, with one in four admitting they don't completely clear ice or snow from their windscreens, while seven in ten will not clear the car roof of snow, which can affect the car's steering and braking speed. Factoring in just a few extra minutes before a journey to completely clear your windscreen of ice and snow before setting off can help you deal with treacherous wintry conditions.
In the face of adverse weather conditions, it's worth reviewing your car insurance policy to make sure you know and understand your level of protection you're covered for. Check that you also have adequate breakdown cover, providing peace of mind you won't end up stranded in the cold.

South Texas Middle School Students Hit By Suspected Stray Bullets From Nearby Hunting Grounds
Posted By The Carlson Law Firm || 13-Dec-2011
Two Harwell Middle School students, trying out for the basketball team, were shot by, what police suspect as, stray bullets from nearby hunters Monday night.
One of the boys was listed in critical condition. Officials reported that he had a bullet embedded in an organ. The other boy, who was struck by a bullet, was recently listed in stable condition. They were identified as 13 and 14 years old.
The 13-year-old teen was identified as Nicholas Tijerina. According to officials, Tijerina is currently unable to move his legs. Doctors and nurses are still unsure whether the lack of mobility is a long or short term result of the shooting incident in McAllen, Texas.
The hunters believed to have fired the stray bullets were taken in for questioning by police. It is unknown whether the bullets were fired accidently or if the accident was sparked by their recklessness.
Harwell Middle School, located near Edinburg, Texas, is in a rural, heavily wooded area close to nearby hunting pastures, officials said. The school was recently opened earlier this year. Land located behind the school is being leased to deer hunters, reports said.
Although school was not in session at the time of the campus' accident, basketball tryouts were underway and students were present at the school.
Accidents that occur at locations believed to be safe and secure, like schools, can be shocking and fear-provoking for parents and students alike. But with a school location settled nearby land inhabited by hunters, community members have begun to wonder if those involved in the location decisions for the school carefully considered the contact us online.
What is Premises Liability?
Premises liability is the risk landowners endure for accidents that occur on their property. Injuries that those inhabiting the properties, whether schools or grocery stores or shopping centers, can be caused by inattention to the safety of others. Uneven pavement, trip risks, standing water, icy walkways and even the actual location of a property or business can cause unnecessary injuries.

The Elephant Trail restaurant, in Avon, decorated throughout with pachyderms — on sequined wall hangings, a carved wooden mask and glass-covered tablecloths — serves a range of tasty Thai dishes, most of which are prepared with fresh, crispy vegetables and only a moderate amount of chili pepper.
If the Elephant Trail's use of pepper is comparatively light, its preparation of greens is straight from Bangkok, where the crunch of raw fruit and veggies is greatly appreciated. Also in the authentic Thai tradition, the kitchen at the Elephant Trail (which has a sister restaurant, Blue Elephant Trail, in West Hartford) successfully integrates disparate assertive seasonings like ginger, garlic, lime juice, lemon grass, coconut milk and basil.
Yum larb, one of several flavorful salads on the menu, is a case in point. Coarsely ground beef (chicken is offered as an alternative), nested into a wedge of iceberg, is dressed with lime juice, red pepper flakes, cilantro and toasted rice powder. There's nothing fancy about this blend of seasonings, yet the rice contributes an intriguing nuttiness, while the citrus, pepper and green herbs yield a refreshing counternote. Yum woon sen reflects similar finesse, with lime juice, lemon grass and a sweet chili sauce bringing harmony to a salad of rice noodles, ground pork, red onions and scallions.
Many of the same ingredients are in yum pla muek, a garlicky squid salad, but here the tender squid, attractively crosshatched but saturated in a cloyingly sweet chili sauce, would have benefited from the salty infusion of nam pla prig (based on fish sauce) or a sourish nam pla waan (derived from tamarind). Both sauces are staples of Thai cuisine that bring balance to the palate. Elephant Trail offers neither, with the result that many of its dishes, while generally pleasing, are far too sweet.
This is especially true of the appetizers: more than half of the dozen on the menu were paired with the same sweet chili dipping sauce. Other sauces, like a hoisin-based accompaniment to Thai summer rolls (plump rice paper wraps filled with sizable shrimp, noodles, bean sprouts, carrots and iceberg) and the cucumber relish of both satay (four skewers of peanut-dressed chicken) and tod mun pla (oily, tired-looking fish cakes seasoned with lemon grass) proved to be no less sugary. Even tom yum soup, an otherwise enjoyable bowl simmering with chicken, mushrooms, bell peppers, cilantro and lime juice, was more sweet than peppery-sour, as is traditional.
Entrees are not spared this treatment, but several rise above it. A particular standout is Elephant Trail kai ka-pan, a delicious panoply of ground chicken, minced onion, garlic, lemon grass and jalapeños. With its edge of salty-spiciness (and turmeric coloring), it made a welcome contrast to earlier dishes. More robust, with plenty of fresh ginger and garlic, is ginger crispy duck, another fine choice. Its chunks of deboned duck were sublimely tender and the array of vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, snow peas, mushrooms, scallions, onions) lent appealing color to the platter.
Like the duck, Thai basil red snapper is wok-fried. The foot-long fish, served whole, was crispy yet moist and engagingly flavored with fresh basil, garlic, bell peppers and lime (and possibly tamarind). Salmon, in a house special that was simply called garlic, was cooked with the same aplomb. Sweet and crispy, as if fried in brown sugar, the large filet was easily separated into succulent flakes. My only disappointment was that there was too little bok choy and napa cabbage with this dish.
An otherwise agreeable red curry brought a different sort of disappointment: the taste of canned bamboo shoots overwhelmed the delicate interplay of spicy basil and rich coconut milk. And the noodles at the center of the pad Thai, limp with sweet chili sauce, might have benefited from a dose of lime and fish sauce.
Waiters at Elephant Trail are consistently friendly. They do, however, habitually bring successive courses without clearing previous ones so that by dessert, your table, overcrowded with soup bowls, appetizer plates and partially eaten entrees, may only have space for a martini glass of iced litchi. That's not necessarily a bad thing.

Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- With the markets taking a rare pause thanks to Hurricane Sandy, Jim Cramer told his "Mad Money" TV show viewers Tuesday that he's had a chance to catch his breath in the middle of a busy earnings season to make some observations. Cramer said that for the past few years, U.S. companies have been aggressively trying to distance themselves from the sluggish U.S. market, opting to "go global" and expand into Europe, China and emerging markets. That strategy worked well, he said, up until a few years ago when Europe's financial mess brought the global economy to a screeching halt. Now, the evidence is clear. Those companies that now rely on business overseas are doing poorly, while those still based largely in the U.S. are flourishing. That's certainly the case with Ford Motor ( F - Get Report), a company whose strength in the U.S. was almost completely wiped out by losses in Europe. Banks like US Bancorp ( USB - Get Report) and Wells Fargo ( WFC - Get Report), a stock he owns for his charitable trust,
Buying Into News CorpBreaking up is easy to do, Cramer reminded viewers, as he highlighted yet another company that's splitting itself apart in an effort to unlock value. He said his charitable trust,
Know Your IPOIn the "Know Your IPO" segment, Cramer told viewers that it's time for a new housing-related stock, which is why the upcoming IPO of Restoration Hardware is a very intriguing play. Cramer said there's no denying the rebound in housing is at hand, but the question remains of how best to invest in it. Everything from home builders like Toll Brothers ( TOL - Get Report) and Lennar ( LEN - Get Report) to home furnishings retailers like Ethan Allen ( EA - Get Report) and Pier 1 Imports ( PIR - Get Report) have already run up big for the year. That's why the little-known IPO of Restoration Hardware is so attractive. Cramer explained that Restoration Hardware is a high-quality play on the luxury home market, as the company's 83 stores sells high-end accessories and home goods in a similar fashion to how Williams-Sonoma ( WSM) sells high-end kitchen items. While a private company, Restoration Hardware has been in the middle of a notable turnaround, closing many of its low-end mall stores and replacing them with larger, freestanding galleries. Those new stores sell a lot more than just hinges and doorknobs too, as the company has expanded into high-end furnishings to rival Ethan Allen. With its new focus on high-end consumers, Resotration Hardware was able to post an impressive 27% increase in same store sales, compared to only a 7.4% increase as Williams-Sonoma. Cramer said the IPO is expected to price between $22 and $24 a share, valuing the company at 25 times earnings. That's more than Williams-Sonoma at 16 times earnings, but given the company's stellar growth, it deserves its premium, said Cramer, which is why investors should try and get in on the IPO.

2 people charged in death of Paint Lick man
LANCASTER — Two people have been charged in the death in April of a Paint Lick man, Lancaster police said Wednesday.
Timothy Turner, 46, and Georgeanne Naylor, 47, both of Lancaster, were arrested Tuesday, said Lancaster Assistant Police Chief Allen Weston.
They were charged in the overdose death of Brandon Hubbard, who was found dead April 18 in Nayor's home on Highland Avenue in Lancaster, Weston said. The street has been the site of drug activity in the Garrard County seat.
Turner was charged with reckless homicide for allegedly supplying methadone and other narcotics to Hubbard that resulted in his death, Weston said. Reckless homicide is a class D felony punishable by one to five years in prison.
Naylor was charged with tampering with physical evidence for allegedly burning the mattress on which Hubbard's body had been found. She also was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia.
The arrests were the result of a two-month investigation, Weston said. He said the arrests of other people might be coming soon.
Turner was already in the neighboring Lincoln County jail, awaiting extradition to Florida on a felony charge, Weston said.
Naylor also was being held in the Lincoln County jail.
Hubbard was survived by his wife, Laura Hubbard, and his father, Teddy Hubbard. His mother, Dee Hubbard, preceded him in death.

Minister of Schooling and Research Mailis Reps (Middle) highlighted at the conference that Estonia is extensively utilizing data and communication expertise solutions in schooling, which make sure the sustainable improvement of the field and is a crucial trendsetter in the world, ministry spokespeople informed BNS. Many districts have invested considerable money in know-how, however remain unable to answer fundamental questions about whether or not the tools they've purchased are being properly utilized, if they're improving student studying, and whether taxpayer dollars is perhaps higher spent elsewhere.
Edmodo and Clever are two of the world's leaders in bringing know-how into the classroom, enabling teachers to spend much less time on administrative tasks and more time educating. The minister highlighted because the energy of the Estonian academic system schools' large degree of autonomy each in pedagogical and sensible questions and the responsibility of these sustaining faculties in enhancing the school surroundings.
The brand new study approach means making an allowance for the person variations of scholars, and, along with topic data, paying extra attention to so-referred to as twenty first century expertise, together with for example examine abilities, cooperation abilities and self-steering expertise.

Are you tight on space here in West Palm Beach? Rather than sacrificing what you want, have you considered creating a multipurpose room? This can be achieved by installing a convenient, easy to use wall bed for homeowners in West Palm Beach, Vero Beach, Martin County, Indian River, Palm Beach Gardens, Royal Palm Beach, North Broward, Jupiter Broward, Margate, Dade County, Pompano Beach, Fort Lauderdale or Coral Springs.
Why a Wall Bed Gives You More Space
Do you have guests frequently visit, but don't exactly have a place to sleep them? Or, you have a guest room that you only use a small fraction of the time, and all other times it's wasted space? The answer to this is to install a custom wall bed. A wall bed, also known as a Murphy bed, is a convenient fold-down bed that rests in the wall when not in use, so you can use the "bedroom" for any other purpose during the day: such as a home office, playroom, or something else.
Styles of Wall Beds
Standard Wall Bed: The more standard configuration, this option feels more like a traditional bed. A more popular choice, the vertical system allows the user to have access to both sides of the bed. Usable storage is included to make the most of the space.
Side-Tilt Wall Bed: Ideal for use in a playroom or office, this configuration perfectly utilizes available wall space. An ideal solution when square footage is minimal, this wall bed has less of a footprint into the room when opened. Usable storage is also included to make the most of the space.
All wall beds come with custom cabinetry, a side table and more, so you guests will easily feel at home.

Also called a gem essence or crystal elixir, a crystal essence is water that has received the energetic properties of the crystal that has been placed in it. Together crystals and water are allies in nature, and it's another lovely way to work with the metaphysical vibrations of healing crystals.
A crystal essence is super easy to DIY: place your crystal of choice in a glass of distilled water overnight. Voila, you did it. Thanks for stopping by.
Once you have your essence you can add it to an herbal tincture or combine with flower essences. The herbal allies that resonate for me are essential oils. Play with it and have fun! My preservative of choice is witch hazel because it's great for the skin and not-problematic for anyone in recovery (that said, some folks use vodka or brandy. Be you and live out loud).
Lots of folks take essences internally and I say use at your own risk, especially around toxic stones like malachite. For me, energies transcend time and space, so I've found that working with them externally is just as beneficial. (Be you, live out loud).
How are the essences for SPIRIT WORK made?
So glad you asked! When I make the essences for SPIRIT WORK I work ceremonially, which involves some backyard magic/under cover of night type shit. I find the energies to be very potent, as I'm holding space for all of the recipients and am working on a pretty big scale. I use many stones for each essence and prefer to work with them in their raw or rough and untreated state.
Note not all crystals can be submerged in water…Selenite is a crystal I use in SPACE and I absolutely love its energies, but it's a type of gypsum so it breaks down in water. In the same formula I also use Lepidolite, a form of mica that's friable, so I fashion a sort of double boiler to have the energies transfer.
SPIRIT WORK is a mist. In mist form I love how the vibrations can be dispersed into a room, around your body, and spread through any space where you're making any kind of energetic shift – your work space, meditation corner, your home yoga spot, your desk, your bed, front door, kitchen, hotel room – everywhere you're looking to call in or release energy.
I make crystal essences for Spirit Work four times a year, working with the energies of each season, and in harmony with the moon cycle.
My current batch is empowered with the transformative energies of August's solar eclipse. The energies around these essences carry the fire and electricity of Leo season; with intentions for power, agency, and self-possession to carry us through the fall.
The next moon cycle I'm working with the New Moon in Scorpio and the Cold Moon - December's Full Moon in Gemini. This is also a supermoon which means the moon's orbit is as close as it can be to earth. I like to think of this as a little super-charge.
These sprays will be used in the winter months so they will be programmed with energies around building, strengthening, observation, and perseverance. This time of year isn't so much about taking action as it is creating a strong foundation for the inner work that gets accomplished around this time. Winter is darker days, the grounding activities of home and hearth life, time spent with family and dealing those patterns, time spent in celebration, and with the new year, the tradition of creating new patterns, the dedication to careers and projects and self-improvement. The groundwork we do in the winter months lays a beautiful path for growth and exploration in the spring.

Open Letter To Man
I married my bride almost 14 years ago now and I can honestly tell you that I love her more today than the day I wed her. We have come to a point where I can see when I do certain things for her every day, I see her react in very different ways every time. I will state categorically that I do not suggest to any man that these things will guarantee your marriage better success, but I do know they work for me. Let me explain a few key points to my brothers first.
I believe if each of us men are truly honest and ask ourselves why we got married in the first place I am sure the responses would vary from guy to guy but overall we could assume men married for Love most of all...I mean really, what else could there be?
Most every guy I know goes through the same process of courtship while developing a relationship that turns into marriage; we use the usual tactics to woo our loves; poetry, song, wine, gifts, flowers, and dates galore. Now of course some of us guys are better at wooing than others and I believe (my opinion) it is our attitude toward our significant other that determines how our marriage life grows.
Most of us men usually stop our courtship routine once we have settled into a routine with our new bride, complacency settles in, we begin to move into a state of simply co-existing. Life becomes mundane, even routine from day to day. I firmly believe that we must be intentional in keeping our relationships strong just as we were intentional in developing the relationship when we first met our lady love.
This can be difficult for some men to continue over the long course of a relationship, simply because most men are selfish, takers for themselves instead of givers to others. Of course the camp of men will strongly disagree with some of these statements, but I challenge these men to look at your own results with your relationship with your spouse or girlfriend and compare your results to what you do for you over what you do for her. Quite simply it boils down to this:
Do you give to yourself more than you give to her on a daily basis?
Now I'm not talking about giving in to her every little whim and whimper. I am talking about creating an air of surprise in your relationship on a daily basis. This involves putting your spouse before you. Men must break the routine that settles in their lives and go back to courting her like you did when you met.
These little things go a long way:
Bring her coffee each morning, even coffee in bed!
Compliment her often, tell her you love her, tell her she is beautiful. I tell my wife she is a blessing to me all the time.
What puts a smile on her face? Each of us knows exactly what makes her happy: Happy wife, happy life!
Encourage her when she is doubtful or afraid, she is looking to us to be strong in the family and if we do not lead then she will be forced to. This alone will cause strife in your life with her.
Get up and help her with dinner, and then with the cleanup; just because you are king of your castle does not mean you get to have her as a slave.
Make her breakfast or dinner or lunch...cook anything from time to time! Every man has a meal he can prepare well and if you don't then learn one!
Raise your children to be respectful of her, they will mimic and copy you; the way you treat your spouse is the way they will treat her. If your children are disrespectful and argumentative with their mother it is because they see it with you. If you have children who are estranged with their mother and or you it is possibly because it started first with you and the way you treated your spouse. They learned it from you! It is a man's responsibility to lead in his house, yes your wife is your partner and your equal but the ultimate authority in the house falls on a man's shoulders. She will begin to despise you if she has to make all the decisions for the house.
Talk to your wife every day, tell her you love her every day.
Open the car door for her, more than once a year!
Introduce your wife to new people before you start into any conversation. If your wife has to introduce herself to anyone in your presence you have already slipped up.
Defend your wife if any man slights her in or out of your presence. If she has to defend herself, she of course will, but it is your job to do this and she will respect you more if you protect her from slander. Of course, she must also keep a civil tongue and not bring strife upon the family through a disrespectful tongue.
Never let the sun go down on your anger with her. She deserves our ear. Her responsibilities as wife, and mother are great. Stop trying to solve her problems, many times she only wants us to listen!
Take your wife on a date...more than once a year! There are 365 days in the year...that means you have 365 daily opportunities to impress her!
Ultimately each man has to look at his own life and decide if he is doing enough to keep his relationship fresh and exciting with his wife. Look honestly at what you do for her and stop expecting her to do anything for you. Trust me when I say this to you: If you give more than you expect to receive then you are doing a good thing.
If you expect her to be your hand maiden and sex slave just because you think you deserve it then you have missed the point entirely. This mentality will only bring you strife and sorrow in your relationship for this is not respectful.
Look at what you have in your possessions. If you treat her less than you treat your truck, you have missed the point of relationship. Do you not think she knows you love your truck more than her?
Finally this admonishment to my fellow man,
Love her, she is your gift from God, your blessing. If you see her as anything else, go back to that time when you first met her. Look at her again with new eyes and never forget why God has put you together. Get out of your own way and live your life together as God intended.
In Love

Tinnitus, which is characterized by a seemingly phantom ringing in the ears, is a common problem. While it can be a sign of hearing loss, of the nearly 30 million Americans with the condition, 44% haven't experienced a decline in hearing.
Tinnitus can be caused by several things, from something as simple as a buildup of ear wax to something far more serious, like a head injury.
Anyone who experiences tinnitus beyond the occasional, random occurrence should be examined by a doctor. The cause could be something mild and easily treatable, but it could also be a sign of permanent hearing loss, damage to the inner ear or an underlying health condition. Only a qualified doctor, like an ENT, can properly diagnose the cause.
Since tinnitus is considered a symptom, anything that further aggravates the underlying cause is going to make it worse. The constant ringing or chirping is bad enough without additional stimuli to amplify the severity.
Regardless of the cause, there are several things – commonly referred to as tinnitus triggers – that almost always make it worse.
The 5 Most Common Tinnitus Triggers Explained
Unless there is an underlying treatable cause, most people with tinnitus will be prone to repeated occurrences throughout their life. And even when a treatable cause is identified, the unpleasant symptom can be bothersome during treatment. In both cases, it's important to take steps to avoid triggers that could make it worse.
Here are 5 most common tinnitus triggers:
- Noise – Excessively loud noise, like what you might encounter at a construction site or concert, can cause short term ringing in the ears. It can also make existing tinnitus worse. On the other side of this is silence. Silence itself won't make it worse, but the lack of background noise can make the ringing more noticeable.
- Excessive Ear Wax – Earwax is normal and acts as a protective barrier that keeps the inner ear safe from bacteria, dust and other irritants. Earwax usually makes its way out of the ear on its own, but in the case of an overproduction, the accumulation of earwax can put pressure on the eardrum and affect the way it vibrates.
- Stress and Fatigue – Most people with tinnitus say that it gets worse when they're tired or stressed. Headaches, inflammation and additional pressure in the ear area are common when stress and fatigue are present and can contribute to a worsening of symptoms.
- Medications – Certain medications can affect on the inner ear. These medications include NSAIDS, certain antibiotics and some antidepressants. If you think tinnitus might be worse because of a medication, speak with your doctor before discontinuing treatment on your own.
- Smoking cigarettes – Smoking works as a vasoconstrictor that narrows the blood vessels. In some cases, the lack of oxygenated blood that reaches the inner ear can induce or exaggerate tinnitus.
Learn More About Tinnitus and What Makes It Worse
Tinnitus is not a symptom to ignore. Not only is the constant ringing bothersome, it can also be a sign of hearing loss or other health issues. Often, it can be treated, but only if the underlying cause is identified. This can't happen without the help of an ENT specialist experienced with Tinnitus patients. You don't have to live with the ringing. Contact our office today at (561) 349-6624 to learn more about tinnitus and your treatment options.

We love to spend a day at the farmers market admiring all the beautiful fresh fruits and vegetables (especially during the summer!). It's so colorful and reminds us how important good produce is. It's also a great way to get inspired and think of new recipes. We like buy at least one thing we've never cooked with! Here are some of the beautiful things we saw over the weekend at the market. We hope this inspires you to get cooking!

HONG KONG (CBS.MW) -- Hutchison Whampoa Ltd., Hong Kong?s biggest blue-chip conglomerate, announced that it would set up a business-to-business electronic commerce exchange aimed at buyers and sellers in the plastics industry for the greater China region.
Hutchison?s subsidiary E-Commerce Resources Ltd., in charge of coordinating the group?s e-commerce ventures, said that the portal would allow on-line purchasing, documentation and logistics support. Several leading Hong Kong and mainland Chinese toy manufacturers have already signed on as strategic alliance partners in the portal, which will be launched in the third quarter this year.
Hutchison has not yet invested any money in the portal, which initially will target market players in Hong Kong and China and then expand into the rest of Asia, said a spokeswoman.
The plastics portal is the latest foray into e-commerce by Hutchison huwhy, which has been in a major push to integrate e-commerce into its traditional operations.
Two weeks ago, the firm announced it would invest $60 million to set up a B2B portal called BigboXX.com targeting the Asian office supplies market, its first wholly owned B2B operation. Last month, the company teamed up with Oracle Corp. ORCL, +0.04% in a $100 million joint venture to develop Global Transport Exchange, an Internet portal for the global freight transport industry, which will also be launched in the third quarter.
Shares of Hutchison Whampoa huwhy edged down 0.9 percent, or 1, to 106.50 Hong Kong dollars. It was Tuesday?s biggest point mover and brought the Hang Seng Index down 18 points.

Within just one day of Romney's Vice President announcement, he has managed to raise over $3.5 million with Rep. Ryan Paul on his presidential ticket in just 24 hours.
Add that to the $101 million he raised in the month of July (passing Obama by a good $25 million), and you've got what looks to be the most expensive election in history.
Democrats have been doing their own fundraising, using Romney's pick of Rep. Paul Ryan to rake in the campaign cash. The Hill reports:
House Democrats waited about an hour after the presumptive GOP nominee officially chose Ryan to fire off a fundraising email, and quickly followed that up by sending releases to dozens of House Republican districts.
In one such email, the executive director of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Robby Mook, called Paul Ryan "the architect of the Republican plan to kill Medicare."
And where is all this money going? TV ad buys have been the largest expenditure of this presidential campaign, with a total of $269.9 million spent on TV ads thus far, according to the Washington Post. And if you're just tuning in now, almost three-quarters of those ads have been blatantly negative.

Shivraj Singh Chouhan asks people to shun social malpractices
Bhopal, Jul 13: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has urged the people to launch a drive against social malpractices and to take a pledge to develop an addiction-free society.
"Bring awareness against social malpractices like dowry and 'Mrityubhoj' (mass feast on the 13th day of death of a person) and ensure that every child goes to school," Chouhan said addressing the inaugural function of Akhil Bharatiya Kirar Kshatriya Mahasabha's national working committee here yesterday.
On the occasion, the CM called upon the people "to live for the country." "The state government has chalked out welfare schemes for every section of society and asked people to ensure extension of their benefit to needy people," he said.

Madhya Pradesh is maintaining a growth rate in double digits for last seven years. The state's agricultural growth rate is highest in the country. Investment is coming to Madhya Pradesh at a rapid pace, he said.
Chouhan said that several schemes are being implemented for the welfare of farmers. Now, farmers can pay only 90 per cent of the agricultural loan taken by them.
From Rabi season, new crop insurance scheme will be launched under which input cost and minimum 50 per cent income in proportion to that will be assured.
Referring to the welfare of women, the Chief Minister said several schemes for women's empowerment are under implementation in the state.

Trinity Mirror - is this the future of news website publishing?
The Strategy
In 2015 UK publishing giant Trinity Mirror announced a new digital advertising strategy. The group have adopted 'FreeWall®', created by Marketing Agency Rezonence. This forces readers to engage with advertising in exchange for free access to content.
Rezonence describe the product as 'granting the user access to premium content in return for accepting a meaningful brand message or experience'. It works by inserting adverts within the body of news articles and requires users to indicate they have seen them before accessing the rest. It is not clear what this 'meaningful' engagement will look like (there appears to be a delay in implementation) but could involve requiring readers to click a notice stating that they have seen the ad or answer a question about it.
The Strengths
Advertising avoidance
There has been a lot of talk of late regarding ad blocking. Though important, ad blocking is simply a bold example of an age old problem – ad avoidance (what Rezonence call 'banner blindness'). Our ethnographic research shows ad avoidance falls into two types; active and passive. Ad blocking is the most extreme form of 'active' avoidance. It involves consumers choosing to have digital ads blocked on all sites they visit. But passive avoidance is also prevalent. This sub-divides into conscious and unconscious inattention. The former includes the mum who leaves the room when TV ads come on, the latter includes the browser trained to ignore search advertising results on the right hand side of the page on Google. These are huge issues for marketers who question what proportion of their ads are seen and by extension what ROI they have achieved. There will never be a panacea for this problem and this applies as much to this strategy as any other (whilst they can force readers to wait for a full article to appear it does not guarantee they will view the ad in the interim). However it does increase the likelihood that ads are seen.
Advertising value
In the UK media sector print advertising revenues vastly outstrip digital. The objective of (most) publishers is to manage the decline in print revenues and ensure these are compensated by increased digital revenues. But this rests on the assumption that one day digital revenues will be comparable to or even exceed that of print (whereas Warc and the Advertising Association found digital revenue growth in 2015 was the lowest on record and in the first half of 2015 £234m of Trinity Mirror's publishing revenues came from print vs £19m from digital). Advertisers need to be convinced that digital ads are seen and impact on the consumer in a manner comparable to print. This strategy will bolster the Mirror's case that readers engage with their ads.
In November The Sun abandoned its paywall, allowing users to access content for free for the first time in years. This means Trinity Mirror is now directly competing for users and ad spend with one of the most successful UK publishers. So how does the Mirror compete? This new strategy provides a solution. Mirror Sales teams will be able to go forth and promote their unique guarantee – that their readers are actively engaging with digital ads. For an advertiser this will prove a meaningful incentive to put money into Mirror coffers.
The challenges
The reader's burden
Though minimal this does require extra effort on the part of the reader and proves risky when they have access to alternative brands (think Mail Online, Express, Star, BBC News etc). The danger will be that consumers may choose to abandon the site and opt for a publisher that provides content with no strings attached. Whether this strategy succeeds depends on implementation – how are readers to engage? How regularly? Which sections of the site? Which articles will it apply to? The key will be to ensure that the interaction chosen is 'meaningful' but also minimal in effort. A strategy which requires readers to answer long winded questions or watch long videos (by which time they may have lost interest in the article itself) will be counter-productive.
Unique content
The key point is that Trinity Mirror is doing something many others are not and that often readers have a large repertoire of news sources. Which begs the question – why would a reader visit a site which requires something in return when they could visit another which doesn't? Especially since this is particularly easy in the digital world where a quick search will locate the same story on another site. The answer lies in the uniqueness of content. There is little point in adding this requirement to run of the mill news stories that are covered on every other site but rather to target those articles which are truly unique – the opinion pieces, the editorials, the exclusives. Only if content is valuable and unique (and recognised as such by loyal readers) are they likely to accept any extra effort.
Striking a deal with the reader
There has always been an implicit agreement between 'free' media brands and consumers. In exchange for exposure to advertising the consumer can access content at no charge. Millions of articles are available for readers to peruse with just one proviso – they accept the content they want sits alongside ads they potentially don't. FreeWall® is an attempt to make this implicit bargain explicit. But for this to work readers need to know (and be constantly reminded) that the reason they have access to such content is because advertisers are willing to fund it. Many marketers complain that unless consumers come to terms with this there is likely to be a huge loss not just to brands themselves but consumers too. Yet a survey commissioned by the Internet Advertising Bureau last summer showed that less than half of UK adults know that most free content online (e.g. news) is funded by ads and often the only alternative would be for consumers to pay. It is time this ceased to be a talking point just for those in the industry and was put to the consumer.

Emerson • Nine Months
February 20th, 2018 // NINE MONTHS
He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
2 Timothy1:9-10NIV
My sweet son. I love you tremendously and cherish you endlessly.
This truth I wish for you to truly know in your heart and in your mind, that you are wonderfully loved by us and by God, that you have been saved and called to a holy life, not because anything you or we have done, but rather because of the purpose and grace of God the Father.
This grace was given to us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time and has been revealed through our Savior. May we always have our eyes set on Him as a family and as individuals. What a marvelous thing, that God has always remembered us, even before we existed, that the grace of our salvation has always been revealed in Christ and we are gifted the opportunity to witness it in the working of our own lives.
I would be remiss if I did not tell you plainly about the sweet gospel, my son. This is the greatest knowledge you can ever gain from me, the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
You are my sincerest ministry, baby boy. I devote myself to your fullness in life and not just a passive life that happens whether you're present or not, but a life abundant, a life that boasts of the everlasting, a life being made fully alive. This sort of life I cannot give you, but I can lead you to the one who can deliver you in this.
He has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, He is truth and life and He is the way. I wish nothing more than for you to find hope and security and salvation with our mighty savior, Christ Jesus.
May these letters to you bring joy and hope and clarity on things most cherished from my inner dwellings.
I love you baby boy, this I know.

The new PowerForce Dual G4 Series 100 and Series 133 processor upgrades will begin shipping with speeds ranging from 800MHz to 1GHz, with faster models available later.
All cards include 2MB of L3 cache, twice that which Apple includes on its newest twin-chip 867MHz and 1GHz models.
The PowerForce Dual G4 takes full advantage of the symmetric multiprocessing capabilities of Mac OS X, so all applications benefit from the higher performance provided by the second processor.
The PowerForce Dual G4 works best with processor intensive tasks such as video and image creation, and makes short work of other tasks, like ripping MP3s, according to the manufacturer.
PowerForce Dual G4 models will be available "within two to three weeks". The Dual 800MHz and the 1GHz will cost £699 to £899 respectively.
The upgrade card will be distributed by A M Micro.
