December 28, 2012, Victoria, BC – Ben Walker scored a pair of goals and had an assist as the Victoria Royals rolled to a 5-1 victory over the Prince George Cougars in WHL action Friday night in Victoria.
In a Friday night contest at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre, the Victoria Royals started Patrik Polivka in net, while the Cougars sent Brett Zarowny in between the pipes.

Jamie Crooks opened the scoring for Victoria at 10:06 of the first period while on a two-man advantage. Brandon Magee received a pass to the right of Zarowny and made a cross-ice pass to Crooks before the veteran sniper fired a shot that beat the Cougars' net minder low blocker side. Prince George responded quickly on a goal by Marc McNulty at 12:42. The Cougars' defenceman took a slapshot from the left point that found its way through traffic and in low to the glove side of Polivka. The Royals took the lead late in the period on Taylor Crunk's second goal of the season at the 18:58 mark. Tim Traber picked up a loose puck behind the Prince George net and tried to stuff it in blocker side on Zarowny. The Cougars' net minder made the initial save, but Crunk was able to spot the loose puck and tap it in. After 20 minutes of play, Victoria held a 2-1 lead.

Ben Walker scored his 11th of the season at 14:51 of the second period to extend the Royals' advantage. Magee wrapped the puck around the Cougars' net before Walker found the loose puck at the top of the crease and banged it past an outstretched Zarowny. The two teams exchange scoring chances in a physical second period, but both goaltenders held their ground and the Royals carried a 3-1 lead into the second intermission.

Victoria increased their advantage to three when Steven Hodges scored at the 7:43 mark of the final frame. Crooks raced down the left wing and took the initial shot on Zarowny who let out a rebound that bounced to Hodges. The Royals' forward took full advantage and chipped the puck up and over the sprawling goaltender. Less than one minute later, Walker netted his second of the night on a delayed penalty call against Prince George. Austin Carroll carried the puck over the Cougars' blue line before he left the puck for Walker. Walker cut to the middle of the ice and wired a wrist shot just inside the post and past the blocker of Zarowny. Prince George pressed hard in the final minutes of the period, but were denied at every turn by Polivka. Victoria 5 Prince George 1.
Austin Carroll and the entire Royals squad did a superb job of making life difficult for Prince George Cougars goaltender Brett Zarowny on Friday night. Zarowny gave up 5 goals as the Royals peppered him with 34 shots. (photo by Glenn Ivens/ISN
Victoria went 1/4=25.0% on the powerplay, while Prince George went 0/3=0.0%. The Royals outshot the Cougars 34-20.
Victoria and Prince George meet again tomorrow night at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre. Puck drop is 7:05 p.m.

beauty. How To Streamline Your Make Up And Skin Care Routine
5 Steps To Build Your Own Beauty Kit
If your post-summer beauty cabinet is looking a little empty at the moment, read on for a few quick tips on how to remedy your situation without breaking the bank. If you have close-to-zero products to work with (either because you literally have none or because what you do have no longer matches your style or skin type), the idea of starting completely or almost from scratch can seem daunting. The trick to building up a functional set of products in a short amount of time is to really focus on the essentials, get them right 100% and ignore the rest for now.
Below you'll see blueprint for a 15-piece skin care and make up set. Depending on your lifestyle, your skin and your style, you may need a different constellation or also considerably less than that.
Step 1: Consider Your Budget
Whether it's $30 or $300, pick a number and use it as a non-negotiable criterion when choosing products in the steps below.
Step 2: Choose 3 To 5 Products Covering The Four Basic Pillars Of Skin Care: Cleansing, Moisturizing, Sun Protection, and Exfoliation.
A possible combination of products could be one make up remover, one cleanser, one moisturizer with SPF, one nighttime moisturizer without SPF, and one scrub (or manual exfoliating agent to use with your cleanser). If your foundation contains SPF and your skin can stand rail exfoliating, three products could be enough: make up remover, exfoliating cleaner and a moisturizer.
Step 3: Select Products For Your Everyday Make Up Base
Foundation + concealer + powder. Just powder. Concealer + a tinted moisturizer. Whatever combination you choose, make sure it is a good match for your skin shade-wise and formula-wise, even if you have to spend a relatively large chunk of your budget on it.
Step 4: Develop A Signature Make Up Look And Find A Set Of Matching Products
For now, focus on only the absolute essentials, for example a liquid liner if a lined eye is the main feature of your signature look. Ignore nice-to-have extras.
Step 5: (Optional) Choose 2 Extra Products For Special Occasions:
one bolder lip colour and one eye product (shadow, liner, etc) in an eye-catching texture (shimmer, glitter) or a brighter colour that you can add to your regular routine whenever you feel like it. If you only ever emphasize your lips (or eyes), you can obviously also just pick two lip colours (or eye products).

© 2017 IEEE. A simple, compact, omni-directional, circularly-polarized (CP) millimeter-wave antenna for Device-to-Device (D2D) communications in the next generation (5G) cellular systems is reported. It is a CP omni-directional antenna operating at 28 GHz for mobile terminals. The antenna combines a vertical electric monopole element with four magnetic elements to coherently excite parallel electric and magnetic dipoles. This combination generates the omni-directional CP radiation. The overlapping -10-dB impedance and 3-dB axial ratio (AR) bandwidth is from 27 to 28.5 GHz, which covers the 28 GHz frequency band proposed for 5G mobile cellular networks (i.e., from 27.5 to 28.35 GHz). The antenna has an omni-directional radiation pattern at 28 GHz whose peak realized RHCP gain is 2.08 dBic and whose 3-dB AR beamwidth is wide, from elevation angles 3° to 136°. Mass production of the antenna is possible by PCB manufacturing technologies. The overall size is 3.44 mm × 3.44 mm × 1 mm (ka = 1.1017). Consequently, it could be embedded in many current popular, smart wireless devices such as cell phones, laptops, digital watches, and smart glasses as well as their future versions for operation in 5G cellular networks.

Don't forget Christchurch, business groups and investors say (The Press)October 23, 2017
The new Government has been urged not to forget the Christchurch rebuild as it juggles its parties' election promises.
Business groups and investors say the city needs cash and workers, and fear both could be jeopardised.
Property investor Richard Peebles, who is leading major development projects including High St Lanes and the Riverside farmers market, said he hoped Christchurch "doesn't get forgotten" in the rush to spend elsewhere.
"There are such a lot of promises and three parties. A lot of focus is up north and we hope we are not put to the bottom of list. They could turn around and say there's no more money."

Skydive Australia Wins Top Award at the 2016 Golden Backpacks
Australia's leading adventure tourism company, Skydive Australia, has scooped the pool at the prestigious Golden Backpack Tourism Awards, presented at a gala dinner on the Gold Coast last night.
The Golden Backpack Awards are the original and most established awards dedicated to the independent travel sector and reward companies who work hard to make backpacking in Australia and NZ extra special.
Skydive Australia took out the top prize for "Best Tour Activity in NSW" and also the main award of the night, "Best Tour Activity – Australia-wide".
Skydive operates 15-drop zones across Australia including: five in NSW, three in Victoria, three in WA and four in QLD. It has also recently acquired skydiving businesses NZone Skydive and Skydive Wanaka in New Zealand, marking the company's entry into the international markets. Last year the company conducted over 130,000 tandem skydives.
It also recently finalized the acquisition of its first non-parachuting business, Raging Thunder Adventures in Queensland. Raging Thunder is a leader in adventure and ecotourism. It operates extreme white water rafting adventures, canyoning, kayaking, hot air balloon rides and tours of the Great Barrier Reef, serving more than 150,000 passengers each year.
Skydive Director Anthony Ritter, said the twin awards were validation of its commitment to providing awesome experiences across Australasia.
"It's the customers who vote on these awards – so we're absolutely delighted that they've singled us out – it really means a great deal," Mr Ritter said.
"We strive to be the best in everything we do and our commitment to excellence is never ending. It's our vision to become the world's biggest and best adventure tourism business."
"We owe our success to the hard work and dedication of our wonderful team – right across Australia and NZ and we thank them very much for the tremendous work they do every day."

Wolf Lake evaporates
CBS has pulled freshman drama Wolf Lake from its Wednesday lineup and ordered five more scripts for newcomer, The Agency.
Network executives say Wolf Lake, which has averaged just under six million viewers and a 2.4 rating/6 share in adults 18-49 on Wednesday's at 10 p.m. ET/PT, has been put on hiatus but has not been cancelled.
CBS has a repeat of VH1's Concert For New York on this Wednesday and it's unclear what will fill Wolf Lake's time slot during the November sweeps. ER producer John Wells' new drama, Citizen Baines, which currently airs on Saturday nights, may get moved into Wolf Lake's former slot.
As for The Agency, the timely drama about the inner-workings of the CIA, sources say CBS has ordered five more scripts but has not yet given producers Studios USA and CBS Productions a full-season order. - Joe Schlosser

Tsang Vows to Assert Hands-On Presence
His Post Nearly Assured, Hong Kong Leader Targets Accountability, Availability
HONG KONG -- As Donald Tsang prepares to take over as Hong Kong's new leader, the career civil servant is sketching out a more-inclusive approach to government apparently meant to distance himself from predecessor Tung Chee Hwa.
Mr. Tsang, whose selection to the city's top post by a pro-China body is all but assured, told reporters yesterday that as Hong Kong's chief executive, he would delegate more responsibility and spend more time with the public and the media. That approach is at variance with the style of Mr. Tung, a...

The Best CPUs of 2017 for Gaming, Blender, Premiere, & OverclockingMonday, 20 November 2017
As we continue to push through the busiest week of the year, we're ramping into more end-of-year recap coverage pieces, pooling a year's worth of testing into central locations. The first Awards Show was for the best cases of the year, and our next is for the best CPUs of 2017. This covers multiple categories, including gaming, hobbyist / small business production, overall value, and adds some special categories, like "Biggest Upset" and "Biggest Disappointment."
As launch years go, 2017 has been the most packed of any in recent history. The constant back-and-forth between Intel and AMD has largely taken the spotlight from the rest of the industry, as each company moves to ship directly competing products in rapid-fire fashion.
This content looks at the best CPUs for 2017 in gaming, production (3D modeling, animation, and video rendering), budget gaming, and overall balance.
The Best PC Cases of 2017: Awards for Airflow, Noise, Design, & MoreSunday, 12 November 2017
We've reviewed a lot of cases this year and have tested more than 100 configurations across our benchmark suite. We've seen some brilliant cases that have been marred by needless grasps at buzzwords, excellently designed enclosures that few talk about, and poorly designed cases that everyone talks about. Cases as a whole have gone through a lot of transformations this year, which should seem somewhat surprising, given that you'd think there are only so many ways to make a box. Today, we're giving out awards for the best cases in categories of thermals, silence, design, overall quality, and more.
This awards show will primarily focus on the best cases that we've actually reviewed in the past year. If some case you like isn't featured, it's either because (A) we didn't review it, or (B) we thought something else was better. It is impossible to review every single enclosure that is released annually; at least, it is impossible to do so without focusing all of our efforts on cases.
Here's the shortlist:
Best Gaming PC Cases of 2017 | CES Round-UpFriday, 13 January 2017
This year's case manufacturers will primarily be focused on shifting to USB Type-C – you heard it here first – as the upcoming trend for case design. Last year, it was a craze to adopt tempered glass and RGB LEDs, and that's plainly not stopped with this year's CES. That trend will carry through the half of 2017, and will likely give way to Type-C-heavy cases at Computex in May-June.
For today, we're looking at the best PC cases of 2017 thus far, as shown at the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Our case round-ups are run every year and help to determine upcoming trends in the PC cases arena. This year's collection of the top computer cases (from $60 to $2000) covers the major budget ranges for PC building.
$583 Gaming PC Build Using Xmas Sales - RX 470 & i3Monday, 19 December 2016
The holiday season is upon us. In due time, the Steam Holiday/Winter sale will be flowing like a river, and many users will be preparing their wallets for the impending profligacy. As Newegg, Amazon, and other retailers usually offer sales of their own, other users may be eyeing core component upgrades or new systems entirely. That said, we've attempted to take some of the legwork out of putting together a mid-level gaming machine that is comprised mostly of hardware currently on sale, or discounted through current rebates. Admittedly, that narrows options; however, we've still come up with very capable and modern build without becoming lusus naturae.
This rig will be a sub-$700 system focused on gaming at the respectable, and still most popular, 1080p. If by chance you are needing more horsepower for, say, the 1440p domain, check out another recent build guide of ours. As an aside, we've selected mATX hardware housed in an mATX chassis; something that will please space mindful users wanting a build with a minimal footprint. Before getting into it, I'll preface with this: more ardent enthusiasts might balk at the presence of a core i3, specifically the i3-6100, but keep in mind that this is a value-oriented build, and the i3-6100 fills the space well. We'll discuss this a bit more below.
Per the usual format, we will list an OS in the below DIY build list as an optional purchase in addition to an optional, but advised, SSD. Also below, find our tutorial on building a gaming PC or check out our more in depth article.
This gaming PC build is priced below $700 (though may be below $600, if the sales are still active), and is targeted at high graphics settings with a 1080p monitor.
Steam Games Worth Getting for the HolidaysSaturday, 03 December 2016
As the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals start to wind down, we will begin to take a look at some games that are among the most popular on Steam. Some of these games were greatly reduced on the Autumn Sale, and while that sale has ended, Steam usually hosts a Winter Sale -- that'll be coming up shortly.
For today, we've got a list of some of our top PC games for 2016 (including previous releases and sales). All the below games are available on Steam. This year's game releases felt a little lighter in the AAA category versus last year; at least, when considering last year offered GTA V and The Witcher 3 in rapid succession, but active sales have revived last year's titles alongside a couple major indie hits for 2016.
Here is the shortlist:
Best Intel Motherboards 2016 - Cyber Monday Round-UpMonday, 28 November 2016
Following suit with the rest of our Black Friday coverage, including Best SSDs and power supplies, we've next rounded-up a few honorable mentions in the motherboard department. We're specifically looking at Intel boards today, as deals on AMD boards seemed a bit scarce this year. With the looming obsolescence of the AM3/AM3+ socket, we elected to not include those boards. You'll notice that, save for sharing a common thread in socket type (all supporting Intel's latest Skylake processors), these picks vary quite a bit. Be assured though, these boards all have a place. Whether it's a minimalist, no-frills gaming machine for medium to high settings or a high-end, performance-minded overclocker, there's a board here for it.
This list comprises the best gaming Intel motherboards for Cyber Monday (and onward), including Z170, B150, H110, and other motherboards.
The Z170 boards in this list are of proven quality, and do come recommended; however, it is worth mentioning that Z170 is not tantamount to "better." A poorly designed Z170 board is not inherently superior than a well-constructed B150 or H1xx, even at a comparable price. There's more to it than the chipset. If you are curious as to what the differences are between Intel's Skylake chipsets, view this H110, H170, & Z170 guide.
Best RGB Fans, Mousepads, Lighting Kits, & Sleeved Cables - Cyber Monday, 2016
This year's Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Holiday sales continue, allowing us to compile a list of PC accessories that are aimed at giving your system a boost in aesthetics. Most our guides thus far have been focused on the performance aspect, like our "Best SSDs of 2016" guide, our guide to mechanical keyboards, to 1440p monitors, and recent two PC builds. We've also got some coverage of the best PSUs currently on sale, if that's interesting.
But today, we're here for visuals. RGB lighting products and sleeved cables are a common trend in the market in 2016 for those looking to improve their setups looks. This year, RGB has gotten big enough that only the craze for tempered glass rivals its popularity; there are RGB fans, mouse pads, controllers, and peripherals of all sorts.
Here's the shortlist:
Best SSDs for Gaming - Black Friday / Cyber Monday Sales
We've been following sales closely for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and following our "Best GPUs Under $200" guide, we figured it'd be good to revisit gaming's third favorite component: SSDs.
Solid-state drives have become remarkably affordable over the past few years. When we posted our first SSD architecture discussion piece, back in 2014, SSDs of 240-256GB capacities were easily between $100 and $200, depending on drive. Large capacity SSDs (480GB+) were not really affordable for most users. With this year's sales, we're seeing SSDs in excess of 500GB capacity available for nearly $100. Huge change, considering they were easily 3x that price just a few years ago.
Here's the shortlist of the best SSD sales for Black Friday, particularly focused on gaming:
Best Gaming PC Power Supplies (Black Friday - 2016)Thursday, 24 November 2016
Some PC parts garner a lot more attention than others: CPUs, GPUs, and SSDs have clear, exciting advancements and benefits that can be directly felt by the user. Some components, like PSUs, don't get the same amount of coverage or excitement.
Nonetheless, power supplies are a vital part of a PC and a good PSU choice can last throughout multiple PCs, whereas a bad PSU choice could lead to strange issues and can even break other components. In anticipation of the holiday season coming up, we've once again compiled a list of ranked PSUs at different price points.
This is GN's list of best power supplies for gaming PCs in 2016, ranging $45 to $300. Note that some of these power supplies will be on sale during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so keep an eye on anything that looks appealing for your PC build.
The Best Mechanical Keyboards for Gaming (2016 Buyer's Guide)Sunday, 20 November 2016
With Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and generally the winter holidays coming up, there's bound to be a lot of sales and (likely) last minute shopping for gifts. With this in mind, we've compiled a list of the best mechanical gaming keyboards at various price points that we at GN have reviewed and recommended for both gaming and general use.
These keyboards go from basic budget keyboards to high-end RGB gaming keyboards, all of which are mechanical. Besides, there's not much in the way of membrane keyboards lately -- the Logitech G213 and Corsair K55 pretty much round those out.
Here's the shortlist:
We moderate comments on a ~24~48 hour cycle. There will be some delay after submitting a comment.

Inspiration, Tips for Guests, Tips for Travellers
Have you ever dreamed of a perfect honeymoon in Indonesia?
Between May and October you might be able to hear a lot of wedding proposals, guests-lists debates and girly cake testing sessions. However the honeymoon destination and organization is often set aside due to more 'essential' topics. In order to make your first wed days as fantastic as possible, we made a selection of the best places in Indonesia to set your honeymoon days off. The Indonesian archipelago counts more than 17,000 islands so from Bali, Raja Ampat, Flores, Sulawesi or Sumatra, the possibilities are endless. These islands encompass thousands of dialects, cultures and ethnicities, placing Indonesia as a dream destination for all honeymooners.
A honeymoon in Bali is everlastingly mainstream – this Hindu island sits the world's biggest Muslim country, and its coast is home of the best beaches on the planet.
Avoiding large resorts and hotels is easy in Bali. Many little and unique villas offer incredible beach views in a more local environment. Either facing the Indian Ocean and resting in a Coconut grove beside temples or traveling to the south of the island toward surf breaks you will find the place where relaxing and discovering the Indonesian culture will match perfectly.
Feeling the atmosphere of the country itself is essential. Head to Ubud – a town in the heart of staggering rice paddy and waterway valley scenes. The area is enclosed by conventional towns which are home to some of Bali's most gifted artisans and skilled workers. Investigate towns by bike and try your hand at Balinese cookery. Get down to a cascade or have your late pre-marriage ceremony favored by a Balinese cleric. Facing any of these landscapes you will find many villas and hotels and some more in the city.
Only 40 miles east of Bali easily connected to its sister island by boat or even with a short flight. You can appreciate a wide range of watersports including amazing snorkeling sites and plunging on the coral reefs of the close-by Gili Islands. White sand and fine accommodations, the daring honeymooners can head inland, trekking to Sasak towns, waterfalls and notwithstanding handling the incomparable Mount Rinjani on an overnight outdoors experience.
Many tourists are drawn to Indonesia hoping for an Eat, Pray, Love experience. But as newly married couples, you will see easily why people describe the islands as spiritual, too. Definitely a good honeymoon spot to think during your wedding and after wedding preparation.
Take Java, Indonesia's most crowded island could appear to be overpowering at first. Yet move far from the urban areas and you'll discover unlimited perspectives of verdant rice paddies, beguiling towns and undiscovered beaches. Java is not presented in many honeymoon catalogs, but it does not mean there is no destination for it. Many hotels are now offering great honeymoon packages for their newly married guests. Following the development of tourism, the housing has also increased consequently. The island keeps its strong identity through its own culture, natural beauty and history: perfect for a honeymoon stay.
Right between Sumbawa and Flores, the Komodo archipelago is a preserved ecosystem synonym of nature and unique beauty. The archipelago is honoured with mind blowing shorelines extending from volcanic dark to unadulterated white or delicate pink sand. Dynamic coral reefs, top of the line scuba diving spots and the notorious Komodo Dragons will be your daily activities.
Perhaps not the major destination for honeymooners, the island offer however incredible outdoor activities from Kelimutu Volcano hiking and its surrounding landscape to astonishing seabeds.
Your trip in Flores can include traditional local villa or small homestay.
Sumba is an island in eastern Indonesia, one of the Lesser Sunda Islands and in the province of East Nusa Tenggara. Quite unknown from touristic catalogs and still considered as a remote island, Sumba is quickly becoming a potential "New Bali's" destination. If the name doesn't sound familiar to you, maybe an image of its white-sand beach will have more success. Like in any Indonesian destination, the range of activities goes from remote surf spot to explore, to tropical jungles and magnificent bays to dive in. Sumba will be a the dreamed destination for adventurer-honeymooners.
And of course, elected Best hotel in the world by Travel & Leisure, the eco resort Nihiwatu is not to be missed!
Until recently a hidden heaven on the eastern part of Indonesia, Raja Ampat has bloomed into a new travel destination, while keeping it natural. It consists of 1,700 islands, all located in the far east of Indonesia, creating an archipelago in the West of Papua.
Known as one of the most remote places in the world, you might have the chance to discover incredible landscapes of untouched nature. This feeling of loneliness and adventure may be the perfect mixture for a paradisiac honeymoon.
Situated between Borneo (Kalimantan) and the Maluku Islands, Sulawesi is a place of adventure for honeymooners and nature lovers. From cities to remote villages and diving spots, Sulawesi will offer you an unconditional romantic experience through Indonesian culture and landscape. Its coastline defined by sandy beaches and coral reefs will make you discover an infinite variety of fish. While the interior lands are mountains and jungles and intense wildlife. This spot of paradise is just waiting for you, honeymooners.
So isn't Indonesia the best honeymoon destination in the world? Adventure addicts, calm seekers or nature lovers, there are as many destinations as couple profiles. No need to search further, you found newlywed's heaven !

Recognizing that each of your team members learns differently, works differently and is just overall different than everyone else is the first step to developing and understanding your crew. We are in a time that different generations of workers are all mingled in one. The vets and the new bees are all slaving away in the industry. Knowing how your staff works and operates will make managing and hiring that much easier.
Boomerang Workers
Keeping workers is hard, so how do you handle those that leave and ask to come back? Boomerang workers are those that quit then return later. There are many reasons for this. They may leave for another job, family, sickness or just laziness. Although, these are the workers that always come crawling back. At first an owner may want to turn down a boomerang worker or just laugh in their face if they left on bad terms. However, according to HR Today, a growing number of companies are welcoming back rehires because they require less training, know the company and in some cases, may be valuable.
So why is this? Well frankly, most of the industry is starving for workers. Even using someone for a brief period of time may be better than nothing for some companies.
Millennials in the Company
Millennials that do have an interest in hands on work, appreciate integrating technology and feedback into the job. They also want to know that what they are doing is adding value to the company. Basically, they want to be acknowledged and appreciated. Understanding what each of your team members, not just millennials, values in their job will help you to better manage them, keep them and maximize their potential. Generation Z is also now in the workforce. They have an appreciation for technology, online training and mentorship. Although slow, the Green Industry is integrating into the world of technology.
As the years go by, millennials are gaining more experience. Despite the bad reputation some millennials may have for laziness and lack of interest in hands-on work, the truth is they are the next generation. They are the ones who will be taking over for all the Baby Boomers that are nearing retirement. Invest in your young people, they are the future of your company!
Making Clear Expectations
As an owner, it is your responsibility to your company and your employees to set clear expectations. If you don't do so you can't get upset when your team doesn't read your mind. One expectation that more than 66 percent of managers have is for their employees to be reachable off hours. But you can't expect this without offering something in return. For long term employees, this means offering work benefits. If you want to have staff stay and put in the extra work, you have to offer them more. Offering employee benefits will draw more long term employees your way. So basically, this goes back to the struggle to keep employees. In this case, the key is communication. Know what you expect and want out of your team, but be willing to pay out in some way to get it. If you take care of them they will take care of you.
Changes in the Crew
Although the Green Industry has done a good (in a bad way) job of staying stagnant in many practices, technology is becoming more prevalent. Yes mowing is still mowing and planting is still planting, but technology and more advancements are making the industry bigger and better. With technology becoming more advanced, we can automate some of the design, estimating and invoicing processes. So, companies are out-sourcing some jobs. Ensuring that all your employees are trained and understand tools, technology and equipment might assist them in their jobs can alleviate some of their concerns. Better irrigation control, advances in water features and landscaping tools are all making the industry more profitable and competitive.
Make sure to keep your new guys trained and your old guys up to date on all the changes. This is easy to do with Wolf Creek's online portal and classes during the off season. We also have a helpful, educated team in each of our location to help you through any project you may have questions on.
Alternative Employment
Flexibility is a desired attribute in jobs for millennials and generation z employees. Employment in this industry is a constant issue so you need to pay attention to what incoming workers are looking for. This industry also calls for long hours and somewhat unpredictable schedules. Knowing from the beginning that life isn't for everyone, invest in the people who don't have families or big obligations such as young people. Sell your company as having a flexible schedule and be willing to work with them when they desire time off. This also goes back to making clear expectations. You don't want to be taken advantage of. Set up a clear system for requesting days off and changing schedules. This will cover you for the future but also draw in youth that don't want a typical 9-5.
Although there is no perfect equation for managing and understanding your employees, these are some details to consider. Good Luck!

FRequently Asked Questions
What is Ouchie?
Ouchie is the mobile solution for chronic pain management. 25+ million Americans live with chronic pain every day, and it's our mission to reduce the devastation it causes by giving patients and their care team the tools they need to better understand and control their pain journey. The Ouchie platform was created alongside medical advisors from Weill Cornell Medical College, NYU Langone Health, and Stamford Health's Division of Pain Medicine. The app offers evidence-backed tools that aid in care coordination and functional improvements with features including tracking, community support, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), access to educational resources, and integration with clinicians. We are here to ensure no one hurts alone and empower every one touched by chronic pain to discover what makes them feel better, faster.
Why the name 'Ouchie'?
Ouchie was created for pain patients by pain patients. We personally know how hard living with chronic pain can be. So, when creating a name for the app, we wanted something fun and light, something that, however briefly, might cause a chuckle and brief respite from the pain. Chronic pain is serious, but we don't always have to be.
Is Ouchie available outside of the U.S.?
Yes! Ouchie is international and the community has active users from all over the globe.
Will Ouchie work with my phone?
Ouchie is compatible with Android and iOS smartphones and tablets. If you're having trouble downloading or using Ouchie, please email us for help.
How long does Ouchie take to work?
There's no one answer here. Every patient processes chronic pain differently. However we can report that based on a recent survey of our users, after one month of using Ouchie, 89% of patients felt more in control of their pain.
My pain isn't listed!
Sorry about that! Email us and we'll get it added.
My medication isn't listed!
Again, we're sorry about that! Email us and we'll get it added.
Is the app free?
Ouchie is always completely free for chronic pain patients! If you're wondering: we generate revenue by giving healthcare providers an opportunity to license the technology for use within their medical practice or health system. This comes with access to our clinical portal so they can see how their patients are doing in between visits (with their patients' consent, of course!). This allows for better insight into what is and isn't working regarding treatments and an improved understanding of their patients' chronic pain and condition. Additionally, clinicians can push vital content to their patients and reward them for their accomplishments in their care plan. Interested in introducing Ouchie to your doctor? Email us.
How can I share with my doctor?
If your doctor's office is not listed as a treatment location it's because they currently do not have access to our clinical dashboard. However, you can still show your provider your activity log on your journey tab in person at visits.
Do you have a referral program?
We sure do! We'll give you money just for telling your doctors how much you love using Ouchie. There's no limit on how much you can earn! Check out information about it here or email us.
Is my data safe?
Yes! We take data security very seriously. Our app uses an encrypted token system and all data is stored in an encrypted cloud server. In short, all of your information is safe with us. In 2018-19 our company went through a vigorous audit to ensure our practices are HIPAA-compliant and we never sell data to third-party companies.
How do I win prizes?
Just by using Ouchie!

Wei Zhou, Binance's chief financial officer , believes that two main factors will favor the adoption of crypto-currencies across populations. In an interview granted to the site CryptoSlate , the leader spoke about the future of cryptocurrencies.
He believes that two factors will promote their adoption:
- the establishment of a robust infrastructure to easily buy them,
- the increase in the number of quality crypto projects.
Over the past 11 months, the crypto-markets lost over 70% of their valuation , from 720 to 206 billion. Meanwhile, as revealed by its CEO Changpeng Zhao ago few days on CNBC , turnover by Binance decreased by almost 90% since January. However, the activity of the world's first cryptocurrency trading platform seems to remain strong. According Blockchain Transparency Institute , the latter would claim more than 310,000 active users daily, for a trade volume of over one billion dollars.
Especially since the activity of the exchange sites remains much higher than the levels that were his at the beginning of the year 2017. And these figures could reflect only part of the world transactions, since they do not account OTC exchanges which are carried out every day outside the platforms.
In recent months, despite a sharp drop in activity, Binance seems to have made significant progress. We learned well in September that the company would launch a platform fiat-to-Crypto in Singapore. This island, which has recently become one of the hubs of the crypto sphere, offers an accommodating regulatory environment for digital assets.
Yi He , co-founder and marketing director of Binance, told CryptoSlate that his company remained confident about the future of the market, in what looked like a real sermon.
Diving crypto-markets: the Market Cap goes back under 200 billion dollars
This Wednesday, on the eve of the controversial fork of Bitcoin Cash (BCHAC Fork), crypto-markets have fallen sharply. At the time of writing, they were only valued at $ 187 billion – against another $ 212 billion 24 hours ago. This was their lowest level since September 12th.
This collapse comes as many crypto-bulls had posted in recent days their optimism for Bitcoin. They expected his price to surpass his 200-day moving average and begin a recovery to his historic record of December 2017. But their predictions have not come true, despite the expected arrival, in the coming months, of several giants of Wall Street in the cryptosphere.
The BTC seemed thus, this Wednesday, to have caused in its fall all the crypto-markets. While Bitcoin Cash (BCHAC Fork) was the worst student in the top 10 cryptocurrencies, falling more than 18% over the last 24 hours, it was far from the only area to dive. Of the top 100 digital assets, with the exception of stablecoins, only 2 had appreciated against the dollar over the last 24 hours.
In all, the crypto-market Market Cap had lost more than $ 25 billion in just 24 hours.
While the majority of the altcoins were more severely impacted against the dollar than the BTC , the latter had managed to consolidate its dominance of the crypto-markets. This figure now reached 53.4% – against only 35.8% on May 3rd.

Why you should stop using Save for Web in Photoshop
If you're like me, and have been using "Save for Web" in Photoshop for, like forever, the latest version of Photoshop (2015 Creative Cloud) still has it, but it's now under "Export", not "Save as" and it says "Legacy" next to it. And that means that you have been warned.
I have been using, and teaching, Adobe software since the '90s, and one thing I know is that there are always changes. In the past they've been very abrupt - a new version of software comes out, and suddenly it's as if everything has been moved around for no apparent reason. Nowadays I'm noticing subtle warnings. And "legacy" means that there is a function that they have kept around for people who can't, or won't adapt to change, but really, you should use the new function.
The new function is simply called "Export as". It opens a window that will allow you to save for web, or for a bunch of other things that will be happening in the future. I used it for the first time this morning, and it looked a lot like "Save for Web".
My career grew up with Adobe software. I was one of the young Graphic Designers who embraced the new technology. But many people just didn't. They wanted things to be the way that they always had been. Those people faded away, as I became more successful.
So this is what you should do: move forward. You will see a lot of people grumbling about the changes, and how things were better "back in the day". Let them complain. If you're a teacher, then try to get them to try the new stuff. That's mostly what I do. I've seen Adobe software get better and better over the years. But improvement means changes. When a new superhighway is built, it's time to get off the old road, and find a better way.

BOSTON (CBS.MW) -- Kos Pharmaceuticals shares closed up more than 20 percent on Thursday after the company released a brighter financial forecast for the rest of 2004.
Both the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors slid into the red on Thursday, after a rather grim day of trading for the broader market on Wall Street. Amex Biotechnology Index $BTK closed down 2.06 percent at 461.88 while the Amex Pharmaceutical Index $DRG shed 1.70 percent at 309.89.
Kos KOSP effectively battled the downtrend, however, jumping $5.86 to $34.61, for a whopping 20.4 percent gain. The company said it now expects to earn 75 cents a share for its third quarter. For 2004, Kos said it sees bringing in revenue of $480 million and earnings per share of $2.60 to $2.65.
The company also posted second-quarter earnings of $38.5 million, or 83 cents a share, compared with $11.2 million, or 31 cents a share, for the same period a year ago.
Another gainer was Barr Laboratories BRL, +0.00%, which released fourth-quarter earnings of $14.3 million, or 13 cents a share, and fiscal 2004 earnings of $123.1 million, or $1.15 a share. The company's board also approved the repurchase of as much as $300 million of stock until Dec. 31, 2004. Barr shares closed up 98 cents, or 2.7 percent, at $36.70.
Also beating the downward trend was King Pharmaceuticals KG, +6.10%, despite posting widened second quarter losses. For the second quarter, King recorded a net loss of $63.5 million, or 26 cents a share.
King's results included $65 million charge for money being set aside for an anticipated settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission over its investigation into the company's Medicaid pricing practices. The company also recorded various other one-time charges of about $21.3 million.
King shares finished up 42 cents, or 3.6 percent, at $11.97. The company recently announced that it had agreed to be acquired by rival Mylan Laboratories MYL, +1.17% in a stock deal valued at about $4 billion.
By far the biggest loser on Thursday was Nektar Therapeutics NKTR, -2.50%, which saw its stock nosedive 37 percent, or $6.14, at $10.45, amid reports that European regulators were reluctant to approve its inhaled insulin drug Exubera. Nektar has developed the drug with pharmaceutical giants Pfizer PFE, +0.93% and Aventis AVE, -7.14%.
Deutsche Bank analysts downgraded Nektar late Thursday from a 'buy' to a 'hold,' based on conflicting reports about the drug's future. The group also lowered its price target for the stock from $30 to $10 a share.

The primary focus of our research is the design and development of low-cost, efficient, long-life materials that can facilitate widespread commercialization of clean energy technologies, such as batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, and solar cells, to address the world's energy and environmental challenges. Our research encompasses a broad range of activities:
- Design of new materials based on basic chemistry and physics concepts
- Novel chemical synthesis and processing approaches
- Nanomaterials and nanocomposites
- Advanced structural, chemical, and surface characterization
- Chemical, physical, and electrochemical property measurements
- Fabrication and evaluation of prototype devices
- Fundamental understanding of the structure-composition-performance relationships
- Utilization of the basic science understanding gained to design new materials
Some of the current research activities are briefly outlined below. For more details on any of these research activities, see the list of publications.
Rechargeable Batteries
Lithium-ion batteries have become the choice of power source for portable electronic devices as they offer higher energy density compared to other rechargeable battery systems. They are also intensely pursued for electric vehicles and stationary storage of electricity produced by renewable sources like solar and wind. Cost, cycle life, safety, energy, power, and environmental impact are the major parameters/issues that need to be considered with these applications. Our research is focused on addressing these issues with both traditional lithium-ion battery chemistries as well as beyond lithium-ion battery chemistries.
Lithium-ion Batteries: With traditional lithium-ion batteries, our group is focused on high-capacity cathode and anode materials, novel liquid and solid electrolytes, and interfacial chemistry. The major focus is increasing the cell energy density beyond the current levels while realizing good safety and long cycle life by compositional, morphological, and surface controls through novel, low-cost synthesis approaches and advanced characterization methodologies. Some examples are high-nickel layered oxide cathodes, interdigitated alloy anodes with an integration of nanosize active particles with the current collector, safer electrolyte compositions, and in-depth characterization/analysis of pouch full cells subjected to thousands of charge-discharge cycles.
Beyond Lithium-ion Batteries: With beyond lithium-ion battery chemistries, our research is focused on sodium-ion, multivalent-ion, metal-sulfur, metal-air, and mediator-ion batteries. With sodium-ion batteries, layered oxide cathodes and alloy anodes are pursued. With multivalent-ion batteries, novel chemical methods to screen cathode and anode hosts for Mg2+ and Zn2+ ions are developed. With sulfur cathodes, both advanced cathode architectures and novel cell configurations to enhance the electrochemical utilization of the insulating sulfur and suppress polysulfide migration from cathode to anode are pursued with Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, and Ca2+ as working ions. With mediator-ion batteries, use of a Li+-ion or Na+-ion solid electrolyte is investigated to enable new battery chemistries with Zn or Fe anodes and a range of catholytes (e.g., bromine, quinone, polysulfide, air, etc.).
Fuel Cells
Fuel cells are appealing for a variety of energy needs including portable, transportation, and stationary applications since they offer clean energy with high efficiencies. However, a widespread commercialization of fuel cell technologies is hampered by high cost, durability, and operability problems, which are linked to severe materials challenges. Our research is focused on the design and development of new membrane and electrocatalysts for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC), direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC), and for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) as well as the development of membraneless fuel cells based on a catalyst-selective approach.
With PEMFC and DMFC, efficient electroctalysts for fuel oxidation and oxygen reduction reaction are explored. With SOFC, new cathode catalysts with low thermal expansion coefficients matching with that of the electrolytes and new anode catalysts that can work efficiently with hydrocarbon fuels like natural gas without carbon deposition (coking) at intermediate temperatures (500 – 800 oC) are pursued. With membraneless fuel cells, inexpensive electrocatalysts that exhibit selectively high activity for the oxygen reduction reaction but without any activity for the anode fuel oxidation reaction to realize scalable membraneless direct liquid fuel cells are investigated.
Electrochemical capacitors (double-layer capacitors and pseudo-capacitors) offer the important advantages of superior cyclability and high power capability compared to batteries. Our research is engaged in developing low-cost, high-capacitance electrode materials for supercapacitors by employing innovative solution-based chemical synthesis approaches.
Nanomaterials are intensely pursued for a variety of technological applications. Chemical synthesis and processing play a critical role in accessing nanomaterials with desired morphology, microstructure, and properties. Our research is engaged in developing novel solution-based synthesis procedures to produce metal alloys, metal oxides, carbons, and composites with unique nanomorphologies such as nanospheres, nanorods, and nanosheets. The nanomaterials synthesized are explored for batteries, fuel cells, and supercapacitors.
Solid State Chemistry
Intuitive design and development of new materials have played a critical role in much of modern technology. Solid state chemistry has been at the forefront of such discoveries. Our research is involved both in acquiring a fundamental understanding of the structure-property relationships of transition-metal oxides and in synthesizing new materials by conventional ceramic and innovative solution-based procedures. The crystal chemistry, electrical and ionic transport, magnetic properties, and electrochemical behaviors of metal oxides are being investigated.

Ambler Custom Guitars
Available Stock
Icarus #001
The Icarus.
Here is the very first Icarus model I have made – #001.
This model comes with a fully fitted flight case and certificate of authenticity.
The original Gibson Firebird has always been one of my all time favourite guitar designs. Beautiful flowing lines culminating in a design that lends itself elegantly to all genres of music. With the design of the Icarus, I have maintained the body shape and the iconic stepped front and back. I have, on this particular model, discarded the through neck design and replaced it with an oversized neck tenon that runs right through the body and ends on the underside of the bridge plate for an increased sustain and uninterrupted tonal path. The headstock has been re-designed, but still with a subtle nod to the design of the original Firebird.
The figured Black Limba body with Wenge and Padauk stringers gives a well balanced feel and beautiful tone. The top of the guitar is a truly stunning, and very rare, Spalted Eucalyptus. The neck is also Black Limba with a Black Palm fingerboard.
The headstock faceplate is cut from the same piece of Eucalyptus as the top.
Pickups are a pair of McNelly Pickups P90's in the neck and bridge position, with a 'Stagger Swagger' model in the middle position for tonal variation. These are wired to a six-way selector switch, mounted vertically to feel familiar to Les Paul style switching. When the selector switch is in its left position, it moves up and down in three positions. Up = Neck, Middle = Neck+bridge, Down = Bridge. When the switch is in the right position it adds in the Stagger Swagger pickup to give a completely different rage of tones. Up = Neck+Middle, Middle = Middle pickup only, Down = Bridge + Middle.
Other hardware comprises of a Stetsbar Tremolo system, Kluson Original Firebird tuners, Schaller strap-locks, Brass nut and a custom designed, laser-cut pickguard.
This wonderfully unique guitar is available now and can be play tested at the Ambler Customs Showroom.
Any questions then please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Kitipanit Store Chiang Mai
The Kitipanit store Chiang Mai on Thapae Road was probably the first department store in the town. The building was constructed in 1925. The arrival of the railroad in Chiang Mai in 1922 had a profound impact on the city. The Wat Ket and Kad Luang areas were the centers of commerce. The Ping River was the main means of transportation in those days. That changed completely when the first train from Bangkok arrived at the newly opened railway station. Imported goods and hithero unknown construction materials started to arrive in Chiang Mai.
Many new shops and businesses opened in the Sanpakoy area and on Thapae Road. The Kitibut family was the owner of Kitipanit Store. Chin Kiew Kitipanit was the manager. Kiti referred to the family. Panit or better Phanich (พาณิช)is the Thai word for merchant or trader.
The Directory for Siam and Bangkok of 1927 lists the store under "Motor, Cars, Accessories, Tyres, Oils, etc." as well as under "General and Piece-Goods". The Bangkok Times, the leading English-language newspaper in those days, issued this directory annually or bi-annually. According to other sources the store also sold household goods, kitchen utensils as well as imported clothes and cosmetics. The wealthy and privileged were doing their shopping at the Kitipanit Store. Kitipanit was the luxury store of Chiang Mai where you could buy anything.
Now only the ground floor of this beautiful building is in use by a couple of souvenir shops. The Kitipanit building should be on the list of Heritage Buildings of Chiang Mai.
The second picture shows children standing in front of the store waiting for the procession of King Rama VII to pass in January 1927.

1. How does Rankik pricing work?
It is simple, if you don't rank, you don't pay.
Rankik provides a performance based SEO service, which means that you only if your keywords rank up in Google, Yahoo or Bing. You are actually enjoying free SEO services and keyword tracking services until your keywords rank up (in the top 30), only then you begin paying a monthly fee in line with the agreed charges when you placed the order. This pricing is unchangeable and is locked for the six month program.
Here's how it works, once you enter your website's URL and do your keyword research you see a report containing the pricing for the keywords once they rank.
An example of such report is:
So far the keyword is ranked at 30+, you don't pay anything even though we start optimizing keywords as soon as they are submitted. Once the keyword reaches the rank bracket 30-21 on Google, you pay $15 a month from then on. If your keyword ranks 30-21 bracket on Google as well as Yahoo/Bing, you are charged $15+$10, a total of $37 a month. The maximum charge per month is $130 when the keyword ranks on the top 3 results for both Google ($80) and Yahoo/Bing ($50). Note that each keyword will have different charges depending on current ranking, keyword popularity, and several other factors.
2. Does it mean that Rankik will start improving my site's rankings before I pay anything?
3. Do I pay the same amount each month?
Your payout begins once a keyword ranks in the bracket 30-21 or higher on Google, Yahoo, or Bing. Your keyword will be charged differently depending on its ranking tier:
Tier 1 > Positions 21-30 (Lowest)
Tier 2 > Positions 11-20
Tier 3 > Positions 7-10
Tier 4 > Positions 4-6
Tier 5 > Positions 1-3 (Highest)
Charges are ONLY applicable when your keyword ranks from a inferior tier to higher one. In case your keyword already ranks 15th, you will not be charged service charges until it reaches the next tier, which is 7-10 or higher. Please remember that we base the ranking of a keyword on the average rank over the month.
4. On what basis is the rank determined?
In our process, the ranking for a keyword is calculated as an average of the preceding 30 days. However, the current rankings are updated in our system every alternate day. Therefore if your keyword ranks 8th on the 25th of a month but has been at 15th before that, the average ranking will most likely be in the 20-11 rank bracket and thus you will be charged accordingly.
5. How is the monthly charge calculated?
There are many factors that determine the monthly cost. The cost is based on our estimate of work required to get your keyword ranked (mostly from the competition or the monthly searches involved), present ranking and the ease of ranking that a keyword carries. These factors include but are not limited to:
Total Searches amount: the more there are the more popular the keyword is and thus the harder to rank.
SEO Opportunity: if a keyword has an "Excellent" SEO opportunity, it would rank easier than a keyword with "Good" opportunity.
Current rank: if a keyword is already in the top 30 positions it means that it wouldn't require much work to rank it up.
6. If my keywords already rank below 30, how do you charge?
As specified already, service charges are levied only if the keyword ranks to a higher position. If your keywords rank within 21-30 and if they begin to rank in 11-20 after a month, service charges apply.
7. When does Rankik bill customers?
Rankik bills all customers on the 1st of each month, and the billing charges depend upon the ranking reports across all search engines – Google, Bing and Yahoo as on that day. The approved credit card information that you provide serves as the payment method once your keywords rank higher. Remember, the credit card is only charged if your rankings have improved upon the original ranking as on the Activation Date and subject to the condition that the improved rankings are within the top 30 search results on search engines – Google and/or Bing/Yahoo!.
8. How long does this pricing last?
The pricing of the keywords are locked on the Activation Date, and does not change. Once the six month period is over, the customers can avail of the following three options:
• A customer may choose to deactivate keyword(s) at any time without any deactivation fee;
• A customer can opt for a transition to "Rankik's SEO Services Maintenance Program" as and when the keyword ranking gets into the top 10 positions on the Google search engine. If this option is chosen, the keyword pricing will change to 50% of the original monthly price.
• A customer can cancel the SEO program with the applicable monthly prorated charges applied. Remember, the deactivation fee is not charged on the basis of the six-month program completion.
9. Can I opt out?
Yes, a customer can opt out anytime from the program without any deactivation fee. You pay only for rankings and if you are a paying customer, you are charged only the prorated charges for the current month.
10. Why other SEO service providers don't do this?
Rankik's custom-made SEO Opportunity Tool shortlists a set of keywords that your site could use to rank better based on the competition landscape for these keywords or key phrases. This tool's algorithm takes into account over eighty variables that are important for Search Engines. This makes our approach very unique and thus we are willing to assume the ranking risk upfront.
11. How is Rankik different than other SEO companies?
Rankik is different from other SEO providers since we take on your challenge without any upfront fee and are confident on ranking your keywords better.
12. Is Rankik's pricing higher than other SEO service providers?
Our pricing is consistently lower than any other Performance Based SEO company.
13. What is the secret behind Rankik's ranking success?

We let you know when a keyword needs on-page-optimization through email and through the user dashboard. However, we are not responsible for making the on-page-optimization changes.
18. How long does it usually take to achieve rankings?
SEO is a improvements take usually anywhere from one month to several months. Rankings depend on various factors like competition, site analytics and the competition landscape. A good average time could be a month before you can see any increment in ranking. Our experience says that while some programs take weeks to succeed while others take months. So, we tend to assure each customer that any SEO process is a consistent approach that takes discipline, temperament and patience.

20. What is the duration of the contract?
As per the industry, an SEO contract usually lasts for a year. However, we do not need so much time and our contracts begin from a six month period. You have the option of cancelling the contract anytime after six months. Our confidence is so high that you will continue with us.
21. Can I get SEO done only for Google?
Rankik does not do selective SEO based on search engines. We customize each SEO process with all search engines – Google, Bing and Yahoo in mind. Since our process take into account volume of work required, we cannot segregate search engines and volumes required for Yahoo and Bing are significantly low compared to Google. So, you will not save much money SEOing only for Google. Also remember that Bing and Yahoo drive about 30% of all internet traffic, so ignoring them would not be a good idea.
22. Can I get partial SEO done?
No, SEO is an integrated process that includes all sub processes and we do not do incomplete SEO.
23. How many resources are allocated to my SEO process?
The factor of resources depends on our estimate of work required to get the keywords ranked.
24. Do you use any "Black Hat" SEO techniques for faster results?
No, we do not use any methods that do not conform to search engine standards. We firmly believe that there is no such thing as faster SEO.
25. What, in your opinion, would be the increase in traffic to my website?
There are too many dependencies to quantify traffic. However, your relevant website traffic is bound to increase since you will be more prominent on the search engines.
26. If I am already hit by Penguin/Panda updates, will you take my case up?
Unless your website has been black-listed, we can take up the case. We will still need to look into historical data before we make a decision.
27. What happens if my rankings fall suddenly as in the last Google updates?
Since we support only organic techniques in our SEO processes, the chances that your website will fall in rankings upon search engine updates is very minimal. If it does happen, it is most likely temporary, and will correct in the next day or two. If it is a persistent change, we decrease charges as per the pricing calculation explanation above.
28. What if my operations are localized to a country, do you also optimize for google.co.in etc..?
Localized SEO is possible depending on the geographical territories you are targeting. Please contact us for relevant services required.
29. Do you have any other payment options?
Paypal is the only approved payment option. However, you can also pay using any major credit card through Paypal.
30. If we already have an SEO process going, can we outsource the same to you?
Yes, you can, however, there is no guarantee that we will follow the same processes, we have our own process and estimates to handle it.
31. Can you help us with building a SEO compatible website?
No, we are internet marketers and not web developers. Contact us if you would like web developers recommendations.
32. Is it true that if we rank high on Google, we will rank the same on other search engines?
No, it is not necessarily true, but if you rank high on Google, you will rank high in other search engines too since the efforts to rank high on Google apply to all other search engines simultaneously.
23. How can I be confident of results?
Across the internet, many websites today use SEO as their main internet marketing weapon, we do not see why you will not get results if we follow a proper path and strategy.
34. How guaranteed are the rankings?
There is no guarantee, it is enough guarantee that we charge you only if your rankings improve.
35. How come, some SEO services guarantee rankings, does Rankik also do that?
SEO, as we had mentioned is an organic process and there is no way anyone can guarantee rankings for any keywords, however, we do not get into controversies and we do not guarantee rankings. We only guarantee our best efforts to rank your keywords and we get paid only if you get ranked.

A holistic approach to cannabis storage that focuses on child safety and climate optimization.
core77 - student notable
International Housewares Competition 2nd place winner
The Problems:
Cannabis is increasingly accessible & attractive to children.
"Colorado experienced a 34% increase in kids hospitalized from marijuana ingestion while the rest of the U.S. saw a 19% increase. In most cases, poor child supervision or product storage was reported." - Forbes
Incorrect storage can affect quality & be harmful to the user.
Humidity has a significant influence on mold growth, shelf life, flavor, fluctuating thc/cbd levels, and quality of smoke.
These parameters are of interest to medical and recreational users.
The Opportunity:
A holistic approach to cannabis storage with a focus on:
- child safety
- both edible/concentrate & flower forms of cannabis
- 2-way humidity control without monthly repurchase of beads
- portability
- mid level price point $75.00
The ceramic system works by having two types of reusable ceramics. One that releases humidity (a common earthenware) and one that absorbs humidity (earthenware with food safe silica beads inside). This system was proven to work with a functional prototype.
Depending on what the hygrometer reads, the user may need to increase, decrease, or maintain the current humidity levels. Simply turn the cap to reveal the + or - ceramic to adjust as needed.
The ceramics last about a month before they must be revitalized. This is better than the competitor solutions that require repurchasing bead packs and throwing the old spoiled one(s) into a landfill.
After studying the most popular cannabis accessories people own, it was realized that portability and preparation are important parts of ownership.
Adding these components to this storage unit makes for a holistic solution that looks at all parts of the experience - something that competitors have yet to do.
- The inner and out shells are made of ABS plastic.
- The over molded gasket that doubles as the hinge is made from TPC (hytrel)
- The humidity inserts are made from ceramic.
- Assembled with snap fits
