Are you looking for some help with English, or something else?
who knows other sites that work on school laptopsphotobucket works. Answered
sorry about the space bar i ment (laptops photo bucket works)
I knew what you meant roughly, but what sort of sites do you want?
The best thing to do is ask people who go to your school, because if anyone knows they do.
i just want sites like this cos im using my school laptop on this site.in the skull candy head phones is that a pic of you??
Yes that is me.
Are you talking about photobucket.com, you want to look at pictures of stuff?
no there's videos as well. its like you tube but shiter.
School is for your education, if you have to be there spend the time learning stuff.
Going back to school as an adult because you need basic qualifications for earning money is not something people really want to do... (but it happens a lot)
fair enough.
I mean it.
I didn't have much else to do at school, coll' uni, uni, so I made the most of it. Now I've got money to spend on stuff, and I can borrow even more - it works! My pauper-friend is not so happy, and he didn't get much out of school...
do you tease your friend cos he is poor??
No, we've got much better things to tease him about(!). He's a decent chap, but re-doing basic qualifications at the moment in order that he can get some work.
sounds like me in the future lol (not somthing to lol about)
No, not to laugh about - get the grades while you are obliged to be there at no expense to yourself.
good advice
Educational sites work quite often.

Erythema migrans develops at the site of tick bite usually within 1 to 2 weeks and is a pathognomic feature of Lyme disease.
Constitutional symptoms such as fever, headache, myalgias, fatigue, and arthralgias may occur.
Complications of Lyme disease may be neurological, cardiac, or musculoskeletal.
Mainstay of treatment is antibiotic therapy.
There is currently no vaccine; prevention is centred around reducing exposure to ticks.
Lyme disease is a zoonotic infection caused by a spirochete of genus Borrelia, which is transmitted to humans by ticks. Zoonotic diseases are transmitted between vertebrate animals and humans. Animals serve as the primary reservoir of Borrelia. Ticks become infected by feeding on an infected animal. Most common initial manifestation is typical skin lesion known as erythema migrans. Later manifestations may include arthritis, or central nervous system or cardiac involvement.

In this dream, I'm on a pirate ship. This pirate ship is in a pond, half the pirate ship is hanging out of the pond on land. A pirate is making me walk the plank. The pirate says to me (with his sword slightly piercing my back) "these are your options, die or wake up now."
Out of total fear, I chose the answer, wake up.
I woke up.
Still the scariest dream of my life.
You can't convey fear in a dream through words to a listening individual, simply because the listener doesn't know what you felt.
I assure you I was terrified.

In theory the return to "dual brand" status for the WWE's "B" pay-per-view shows would be a good thing to many. I wasn't so sure. Yes, with both Raw and Smackdown matches on one show there should be "less filler, more killer" in terms of matches and whatever the faults (either accurate or perceived) of the WWE in 2018 there is a stacked roster of talent just waiting to be used to full effect. However, joint shows every month mean less chance to shine for those people who haven't got the McMahon machine behind them and the possibility that if the WWE bookers don't facilitate the upwards mobility of "newer" talent better than they have recently, they'll run out of fresh "main event" matches even quicker.
But that was all conjecture before this show. Even coming hot on the heels of WrestleMania and the Greatest Royal Rumble shows, surely the return to dual brand B-show's would come with a bang! Ultimately, any notions of that did not last the card.
We started off very well. The Intercontinental Championship match between Seth Rollins and The Miz was both predictably excellent AND the match of the night. Given 20+ minutes to deliver, both men did in what was a compelling back and forth affair which really did give off the vibe that either man could walk out the winner. Unfortunately it was so good that nothing else could follow it.
Especially the Raw Women's Championship match. Nia Jax and Alexa Bliss weren't helped by the illogical storyline issues that had plagued the build-up to WrestleMania continuing to here (which got even worse when Jax did a complete about face to challenge Ronda Rousey in the weeks after this show) but they certainly put the effort into what was a reasonable match without ever threatening to be anything more than that. A contrived "inspirational" post-match promo from Nia made no difference either; but then for all the online anger thrown towards Bliss for supposedly not being a very good wrestler (which is totally wrong, but that's a rant for another time) the real questionable push isn't Bliss (who you can't deny is over) but perhaps Jax. But then family connections have always counted for a lot in the WWE…
The United States Championship match between Jeff Hardy and Randy Orton was a by-the-numbers effort that would have been more suited to WWE TV than PPV. It was, again, a reasonable affair albeit one that lacked much drama, intensity or intrigue. But with Hardy's on-going injury issues and Orton essentially peddling the same tired act he's done for years, I certainly didn't expect fireworks from this one. It's fair to say that few expected fireworks from Daniel Bryan's singles match return to PPV against Big Cass either. And to think I was upset when Bryan's return to the ring came alongside Shane McMahon… It was perfectly acceptable for what it was and I've actually no issues with Bryan facing Cass, if for no other reason than easing Bryan in saved the "money matches" for later shows. But whilst we got the right result, Cass' post-match attack meant we were going to see more of the feud that really should have ended here.
The Smackdown Women's Championship match was predictably poor, even allowing for my sourness that Asuka's undefeated streak was sacrificed to Charlotte only for Ms Flair to lose the belt to Carmella a few days later. Heat wise, Carmella cashing in on Asuka would have been incendiary, but instead we got something of a fudge. And as much as I admire Carmella's attempts to improve her in-ring act, this was a dull match, with little-to-no heat and made ten minutes of "action" seem like an hour.
Hopes were high that AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura might put relatively disappointing WrestleMania and Greatest Royal Rumble matches behind them and finally deliver the out and out classic that the WWE had promised us. They didn't manage that. Again it was a perfectly "fine" bout but one that ultimately failed to live up to the hype and wasn't helped by yet another non-finish to prolong the feud. And whilst the default position online is to blame the WWE for the feud failing to ignite in the ring, is it becoming ever so slightly obvious that Nakamura doesn't have the drive he had in New Japan in the land of the WWE?
Braun Strowman and Bobby Lashley against Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn sounded like a Raw TV main event on paper, rather than a must see PPV clash, before we'd started and nothing that happened in the match changed my mind. Even allowing for the fact that I'm not a Lashley fan, as a main event WWE star at least, the fact that THIS was his first proper PPV match back (I'm not counting his Greatest Royal Rumble appearance) after his big return was astonishing. Four weeks in and Bobby was in danger of becoming just another name on the roster.
This just left the main event, pitting Roman Reigns and Samoa Joe. Perhaps due to the non-finish in the Smackdown title match, there was little else that could have conceivably gone on last here, even if that booking decision was sure to inflame the crowd. Stop me if you've heard this one before but this was yet another decent, but ultimately unmemorable, match on a card full of decent but unmemorable matches. You'll have your opinion on Reigns one way or the other already; this match won't change that.
All in all this was a decidedly average show and a very disappointing start to a "new era" of dual brand pay-per-view. Other than the opener, there's nothing here worth a second look so whilst there have been WWE shows that have been a lot worse than Backlash 2018 over the years there's very little here to recommend. The only real extra is the Bayley / Ruby Riot kickoff match which was, yes you've guessed it, decent but unmemorable in the long term.

Author Kate Messner glad Watertown has found "Wake Up Missing"
Book is a finalist for Watertown Middle School One Book/School summer reading program
June 10, 2015198 Views
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Every year, Watertown Middle School has the One Book/One School summer reading program. Students and staff worked to choose that one book that all sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-graders and their teachers will read, and complete the packet that goes along with it.
There are two finalists this year, "Out Of My Mind" by Sharon Draper, and "Wake Up Missing" by Kate Messner. These two books were chosen because they had a strong female protagonist. Watertown Middle School wanted the summer book to have a strong female protagonist because most of the books in the past have had a strong male protagonist.
Kate Messner lives in Northern New York across Lake Champlain from Burlington, Vt. She's often in Boston because her son goes to school in the area.
The Watertown Splash asked Kate about "Wake Up Missing" and the WMS summer reading program. The following are her emailed responses.
Q: How do you feel having about 700 students and staff reading your book?
A: Just thinking about this is awesome! My books have been chosen for all-school reads before, and it's always a fantastic experience when a whole community comes together to share a book. Having a book selected is a joy and an honor.
Q: Will this book seem different from girls' and boys' perspective?
A: You know, I really don't think it will. There are both boy and girl characters in "Wake Up Missing," but even if there weren't, I don't think that matters. Sometimes, we hear people say "Oh, this is a boy book," or "That's more of a girl book," but I don't really believe in that. Readers are all unique, whether they're boys or girls, and the great thing about reading a fantastic book is that we relate to the characters as fellow human beings, rather than people of a particular gender. And the themes in "Wake Up Missing" – changes, friendship, and identity – are universal.
Q: Do you think sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-graders will look at the book differently?
A: That's an interesting question for me to think about! Cat, the main character, spends some time reflecting on how things changed when she started middle school, so I wonder if the sixth-graders might relate to that on a more personal, immediate level, while the eighth-graders might view the story through the lens of experience. I often hear from kids via email after an all-school read, so it will be interesting to keep track of this.
Q: Will adults see the book differently than middle school students?
A: In many ways, no – because the story and themes are universal, and I really hope it's a great book for anyone who loves an adventure. But that said, I also think adults – parents, in particular – will have different reactions to some of the things happening to the kids and the choices they make.
Q: Do you feel middle-school students would understand this book better than high-schoolers?
I really hope it's a great book for anyone who loves an adventure. "
— KATE MESSNER, author of Wake Up Missing
A: I think middle-school readers will probably have a stronger connection to "Wake Up Missing" than readers of other ages might, because the characters in this book are all dealing with middle-school issues and emotions.
Q: One of the staff members picking the summer reading book said that they wanted to have a book with a strong female protagonist. How did you come up with that character?
A: All of my books have strong girls, because most of the girls I know in real life are like that. They're smart, brave, kind, and resilient, so for me, it's very natural to develop girl characters who share those traits. When I was developing Cat as a character, I thought about her history – what she'd been through and where she'd come from – and tried to make sure her choices and actions in the book felt authentic, based on her personality.
Q: Is there anything people should be aware of before they read the book?
A: Often, kids who read "Wake Up Missing" have questions about the science in the book, and many of those are addressed in the author's note that discusses what's real and what's fiction. The field of genetic engineering is both fascinating and frightening to me, and I know that readers sometimes come away from this novel wanting to know more about that area of science, which is great.
Q: Does this book connect with anything in your life?
A: It's set in a place that I love – the Florida Everglades. I've spent a fair amount of time hiking and kayaking in the Everglades and find the swamp to be both beautiful and frightening in its wildness. It felt like a perfect place for this story to be set.
Q: When did you start thinking about writing as a career?
A: Interestingly enough, writing books was never my career goal when I was a kid because it just didn't occur to me that it was an option. I grew up in a very small town and didn't know anyone who wrote stories for a job, so when I went to college for "writing," I studied journalism and worked in that field for seven years before I went back to school to get my teaching degree. It was while I was teaching middle school that I rediscovered my love of writing stories and started thinking about writing for publication.

The Madison Cave isopod, a rare, blind, pigment- less cave dweller, must be the weirdest looking sentinel of water quality in the country.
Found only on 12 sites in certain parts of the Shenandoah Valley and a splinter of West Virginia, the free-swimming crustacean is fully adapted to a light-free life underground and underwater. Scientists are trying to determine how many there are and where else they may live.
The answers may help protect water resources of the Shenandoah Valley.
The isopod "may prove invaluable for water-supply protection and planning," said Wil Orndorff, a geologist with the Virginia's Department of Conservation and Recreation Natural Heritage Program. "It serves as something of a sentinel species-a canary in the flooded coal mine, if you will."
"It's an indicator of good quality water," said John R. Holsinger, a biology professor at Old Dominion University, who spearheaded the successful effort to list the isopod under the Endangered Species Act.
But Holsinger, known as the father of cave biology in Virginia, said there is another reason to study and protect the strange cave dweller.
"It's unique. That's grounds for preserving it,'" he said. "It's part of the biodiversity of the planet. We don't just want people running around. It wouldn't be any fun."
Among its special characteristics is its marine ancestry. "It tells us a lot about the natural history of the valley," Orndorff said. "At one point in the past, it had close contact with marine water."
Millions of years ago, he said, the valley had one giant aquifer that was separated into different blocks when rivers cut out their beds.
By studying the location of the isopods and their genetic makeup, scientists can learn how and where aquifers are connected. It appears now that there are three populations of the isopod with distinct, if small, genetic differences. That suggests that certain Shenandoah Valley aquifers are not connected.
That knowledge is important because the size of an aquifer can determine how best to manage housing developments, agricultural practices or even natural disasters such as droughts.
The isopod "tells us about the plumbing of the valley, more than any hydrological study," Orndorff said. "That is key."
Orndorff is surveying caves and old, hand-dug wells in the Shenandoah Valley to better determine where the isopod lives. On a recent fall day, he straddled a fissure inside a cave near Grottoes, VA, to trap the creatures, which though they only grow to about a half-inch in length, are fierce hunters.
Orndorff lowered a plastic bottle, baited with raw shrimp, into the pool of water at the bottom of the fissure. Within a short time, he had trapped a handful of the creatures.
The isopod appears whitish and translucent at the same time. No remnant of eyes remains in this creature, which has 14 legs and an exoskeleton, and propels itself through water by its tail.
Orndorff said the isopod feeds on small insects and animals that fall into the water. A jumbo shrimp can be eaten by the creatures in about two hours, he said. "They can skeletonize an animal," he said.
Lyle Steger's family owns the property on which the isopod was discovered in 1959. He played in the caves in the area for many years. The creatures have always fascinated him.
"They've always looked to me like roly-poly bugs," he said, using the popular name for a terrestrial isopod to which the Madison isopod is related. The terrestrial isopod is also known as a pillbug or sowbug.
Studying the creatures "gives us a way to protect the thing we most need-clean water," Orndorff said. "And of course it is just neater than hell."

Go figure, I've had an epiphany to make a King cake on the day of Ephiphany! In France one can find a galette des rois before the first Sunday in the new year comes around. Bakeries are cashing in on this lovely, flaky, delectable dessert in anticipation of Epiphany, on January 6th. I decided to spare some euros this year and make one myself, much motivated by the fact that my then four-year-old son came home with the recipe from his teacher at school. If she can do it with a class of twenty-four four-year-olds, I can certainly manage one with my two kiddies.
In the French tradition, a fève (a bean) is placed in the galette des rois. Nowadays it's replaced by tiny figurines of some historical, religious representation or some beautiful collectible designy things. Umm—I think this would be a choking hazard in the U.S.? Anyhow, the fun bit is that the youngest child in the group you are sharing this galette des rois with goes under the table and shouts out the names of whom the pieces of cake should be distributed to. The lucky one who gets the fève in their piece of cake is then king for the day and gets to wear the crown and choose his queen. Otherwise, as my daughter would say— queen for the day and then choosing her king.
We made our own crowns to go with this king cake but golden crowns (sort of similar to slimmer versions of the Burger King ones but without its logo) are given along with the cakes that you buy at the bakery and even the ones sold in the supermarket. Here's a fun fact, apparently the Elysée Palace, the official residence of the President of the French Republic is not served a galette des rois with a fève in it due to rules of etiquette. I suppose just in case he doesn't draw the king?
La Galette Des Rois
INGREDIENTS//serves 6
• 2 puff pastry
• 100 grams butter, softened
• 100 grams sugar
• 4 large eggs, divided (for egg wash)
• 100 grams of almond flour (ground almond usually made from blanched almonds without skin)
Egg Wash
• 1 egg, yolk
• 1 egg, whole
• 1 tablespoon water
Cut each puff pastry to 24 cm ( approx. 9.5 inches) in diameter. Keep them refigerated until ready to use. Otherwise it gets soft and sticky and becomes hard to work with.
Total baking time is 1 hour. Starting off at 180°C (350°F) for 20 minutes, then lowering the temperature to 160°C (320°F) and baking for 20 minutes, and then at 145°C (290°) for the remainder of the time.
INSTRUCTIONS//serves 6
Filling: Cream the butter and the sugar together with a mixer or by hand using a whisk in a medium inox bowl. To do so, mix the butter until it looks whitish in color. Then add the sugar and mix well, working it into a smooth mass.
Add one whole egg, mix, and add half the almond flour. Then add the second whole egg. Continue to mix and add the rest of the almond meal. Then put it aside until ready to use.
Optional: You can use a pastry bag (piping bag) for your filling using a large round tip. Put it aside until ready to use.
Egg Wash: In a small bowl mix one egg yolk and one whole egg together. Add a tablespoon of water and mix. Set aside until ready to use.
Take out one of the refigerated puff pastry and and lay it out on a silicone baking sheet or parchment paper. Fill it in with the almond filling either using the pastry bag or just a spoon to spread it out. If you are using the pastry bag, hold it up horizontally and squeeze out your filling starting in the center moving in a clockwise direction reaching about 2 cm (approx. 1 inch) before the edge. If you are using a spoon, scoop the filling and spread it evenly around the puff pastry leaving the same 2 cm around the edge.
The French use a fève that is placed in the filling near the border. For those who are more safety conscious, you can use a piece of dried fruit in place of the fève.
Brush some water along the ring of the filling.
Take the second refigerated puff pastry out and place it directly over the filled puff pastry you are working with.
Press down, moving around the edge of the filling to seal it.
Lift up silicone baking sheet or parchment paper with the pastry on it and flip it over upside down to another baking sheet.
Take the sharp tip of a knife, holding it horizontilly, tap into the edges around the pastry. This helps to seal the puff pastry together.
Brush a layer of egg wash over the top and then refigerate for 20 minutes. Take it out and then give it a second brushing of egg wash. Then use the tip of a paring knife to carve gently into the puff pastry to decorate.
Poke holes using the paring knife all around the top of the pastry avoiding the center before placing in the oven to bake. Remember to start off at 180°C and continue to bake down to 145°C as noted above.
Optional: You can glaze your baked cake with maple syrup or chestnut syrup to give it beautiful sheen.
This recipe comes from Chef Nicolas Bernardé. You can watch him making it and maybe practice your French at the same time? For my egg wash I added some water to thin it out so that the glaze doesn't have too much of an eggy look on top of my cake. My baking time was only an hour. He states 1 hour 20 minutes. I also didn't put the finishing glaze on my baked king cake since I think the almond filling is sweet enough for my family. It also prevents those potential sticky little fingers from getting all over the place.

Massage is perhaps one of the oldest healing traditions used by many cultures who were convinced of the therapeutic properties of massage and used to treat a variety of ailments. Donna is your Nowra massage therapist.
One of the immediate benefits of massage is a feeling of deep relaxation and calm due to the release of endorphins – brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that produce feelings of well-being.
- Relaxation Massage – consists of flowing strokes, kneading and gentle manipulation. It is pain-free and will relax your muscles, reduce tension, maintain flexibility, improve circulation and soothe your soul.
- Remedial Deep Tissue/Pressure Massage – if you have pain in areas such as sciatica, stiff neck, headaches, sports injuries or other complaints then you need a treatment that involves going deeper into the connective tissues and ligaments to release the source of pain, increase the range of movement and correct postural abnormalities.

Back in the day I was a composer for TV and games and things, and one of the first things you learn is that it's not about you. Your music is not there to distract from the visuals, it's there to support it. Sure, certain themes stand alone, but in the whole mix of elements of a TV show, computer game or film, your music supports the scene. If the audience notices your music, you might just have overdone it. In a metaphorical sense that's what the Honda Civic LN does for your journey. Continue reading "Honda: 2014 Civic LN review" »

Toyota: 2014 Yaris ZR and GX hatches review
This pair of Yaris – maybe that's Yarii – are set to wage war on the urban landscape, giving potential punters a budget option or a 'fries-with-that' option in the small car segment. As far as price goes, there's $5000 between them: the GX starts at a wallet-caressing $24,990, while the ZR with the optional sat nav and SUNA package adds garnish and spices for $29,990. If you're happy with a manual then you can get the GX for $22,990. Continue reading "Toyota: 2014 Yaris ZR and GX hatches review" »
Holden: 2014 Barina RS review
RS is a hallowed badge that has traditionally meant Rallye Sport, Rally Sport or Rennsport (German for racing sport). Who can deny that cars such as the Ford RS Cosworth, the Renault Megane RS265, the Porsche GT3 RS and the Audi RS4 are amazing cars in their own right? I even owned a Subaru Legacy RS-RA back in the day which was mostly excellent (when the ECU wasn't playing up). It has been (and should only be) reserved for cars that have some sporting credentials.

Mercedes-Benz: 2014 C 250 sedan review
After a week behind the wheel of a new Mercedes-Benz S 500 sedan, swapping over into a new Mercedes-Benz C 250 might seem a bit of a come down.
To be frank, nothing could be further from the truth. While I did miss the mighty V8 engine of the S 500, I didn't miss its rather substantial on-road footprint. The C-Class is considerably smaller and more nimble, and its four-cylinder power plant has more than enough power to propel you around miscreant trucks on the motorway.

Fiat: 2014 Punto Pop review
At $17,490 here you have one of the cheapest new cars on the New Zealand market, and it's from Europe which means you can indulge in a bit of Euro brand snobbery. In fact, I've even seen them advertised for $16,990, and that's just ridiculously low. Compared to what they cost in the UK, we get a pretty good deal which is definitely not the case with a lot of our marques. As far as I can tell from Fiat's UK website the little Punto Pop sells for just over ten thousand pounds on the road which is the equivalent of twenty-one grand here.

Honda: 2014 Jazz S review
The Jazz has always been Tardis-like. You take a look from the outside and think there's no way you'd easily fit a couple of six-footers in the rear passenger seats, but it can be done quite comfortable. Even the boot capacity is good at 363 litres (better than the Ford EcoSport compact SUV we had last week, and miles more than the perennial small car favourite, the Suzuki Swift).

Ford: EcoSport Titanium 2014 review
When I was in my teens in the late '80s our 80-year old neighbour, Mrs Moss, had kept her 1950s Morris Minor because she didn't like all these new cars that were too low for her to get in and out of. Her aging hips wanted a seat she could slide across into rather than fall into. It was the second thing that this Ford EcoSport reminded me of; the first thing was Tweetie Pie, the yellow bird, from the cartoons of the 1940s and '50s.

Ford: 2014 Mondeo Titanium EcoBoost hatchback review
It was 2008: the start of the global financial crisis, petrol hit US$100 per barrel and General Motors reported a record US$38.7 billion loss but arch rival Ford provided me with my first Mondeo experience. Since then, the Mondeo seems to have changed about as much as the attitude of the major banks: not very much. Continue reading "Ford: 2014 Mondeo Titanium EcoBoost hatchback review" »

Towards Zero RACE MELBOURNE
Distance: 116km Speed: km/h
Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race elite men's and women's teams will have the opportunity to test their power in a new criterium (closed-circuit course) on the world-famous Australian Formula 1™ Grand Prix track.
Launched today, Towards Zero RACE MELBOURNE, sponsored by the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) will take place on Australia Day, Thursday 26 January, providing a brilliant spectacle & will shine the light on the importance of road safety.
Parliamentary Secretary Danielle Green was pleased to make the announcement.
"We said we'd keep growing the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race and that's exactly what we're doing. Today's announcement is more proof this is fast becoming one of Australia's favourite cycling events.
"Victoria is the cycling capital of Australia. We're not just the leader for the biggest and best events, we have the circuits and tracks other states can only dream of.
"Race Melbourne gives Melburnians a chance to experience for themselves the best of everything this great major event offers," Ms Green said.
Transport Accident Commission Chief Executive Officer, Joe Calafiore, said Towards Zero RACE MELBOURNE is about riding towards a future where every journey is safe.
"As cyclists, motorcyclists, pedestrians and motorists we all have a shared responsibility to use our road system safely and with respect for each other. This race will shine a light on our vision for a future free of deaths and serious injuries on our roads," Mr Calafiore said.
Parks Victoria Executive Director Melbourne Division, Chris Hardman, added, Albert Park offers families and fans ideal vantage points on natural reserves to see the international cycling greats in action.

Filter Management enables configuring leads and calls traffic for a particular campaign by creating a complex filter. Together with Source Management, it provides you with full control over leads and calls management.
To open set filters for a particular campaign, go to Campaigns, find the desired campaign and click Action -> Filter Management.
The page consists of two parts: Result board and Construction kit:
Result Board
This board visualizes a filter created in a Construction Kit. This scheme helps you understand which specific leads and calls can pass through a filter.
Construction Kit
Construction Kit enables creation of complex and flexible filters with various Filter Rules, interacting with the help of And / Or statements.
To create a filter, click Add criteria and select one of two options from the dropdown that appears (Filter Rule or And / Or statement) -> click Add.
The first statement is always AND by default. It is recommended to create an additional empty And / Or statement in case you need to add Or statement in a future. Otherwise, you will have to delete an existing rule and create it once more.
To configure a Filter rule, as soon as it is created (see above) do the following:
1. Select a field from the drop-down.
The list of fields in the dropdown varies according to a vertical selected. Use Search field in the drop-down to find the field you need.
2. Select one of conditions from the drop-down that appears (a list can be shorter for some of the fields).
3. Enter a value to a field that appeared. It can have different formats according to previous selections.
If there are more values than can be displayed in the field, click it to open the pop-up window for more handy editing:
The maximum number of items entered (IDs, phone numbers, ZIP codes, etc.) is limited to 250000.
To delete a condition, click corresponding icon -> Yes in a dialog box.
Click Save to save a filter designed. Click Revert to undo all the changes after your last saving.
Here is a complex filter as an example:
This is how the filter configured will affect the leads flow:
1. Leads from all Offers except Offer ID 56 pass freely through the filter.
2. If leads are from Offer ID 56, they must satisfy the following conditions:
2.1. Leads from the State of Alabama (AL), with age greater than 25 years:
- captured all days except Sunday and Saturday pass through the filter.
- captured anytime by Publisher 7777 pass through the filter.
2.2. Leads from District of Columbia (DC) pass through the filter.
Mandatory Fields
When using negative functions (Is not, Not in a list, etc.), parameters may be selected as Mandatory or Not mandatory. Mandatory type applies only to the presence of certain parameter (tag) in the lead XML file, not to a value specified in the next filter field.
To put it simply, if you wish to receive only leads that include certain parameter (ZIP code, Lead ID, State, etc.) with a value in it, click Mandatory. In this case, all leads with empty tag specified or without this tag at all, will not pass through the filter.
For example, we need to exclude leads with certain ZIP codes:
1. Click Add criteria -> select Filter rule -> click Add.
2. In the new drop-down that has appeared, select Geography – Zip Code
8. Select Not in a list in the next drop-down -> Enter unwanted ZIP codes separated by comma, without spaces. In our case, the list is the following: 10301,10302,10303.
9. Click Mandatory.
This filter will make a ZIP code tag mandatory and exclude 10301,10302,10303 codes. Here is what this filter looks like:
For this particular example, condition will look like this:
|Not in a list
(10301, 10302, 10303)
|Leads flow will include:
|Leads flow will not include:
|1. Leads with all ZIP codes except 10301, 10302, 10303.
|1. Leads with 10301, 10302, 10303 ZIP codes;
2. Leads without ZIP code tags;
3. Leads with empty ZIP code tags.
Not mandatory
|1. Leads with all ZIP codes except 10301, 10302, 10303;
2. Leads without ZIP code tags.
|1. Leads with 10301, 10302, 10303 ZIP codes;
2. Leads with empty ZIP code tags.
Useful Filtering Cases
Filter Management provides great opportunities for filtering incoming leads and calls by various attributes. Here are the most useful cases:

Why do you need to do lighting calculations?
To predict what light equipment will be needed
What are the two methods of light calculations?
1 - Lumen - measured light output from source in an arbitrary direction
2 - Candela - light intensity in a specific direction from a source
True or False: A light source has 1 lumen value but can emit different candela values in every direction.
How do you work the lumen method?
1. Determine the area receiving light
2. Define desired illuminance in feet-candles
3. Decide how many fixtures you need

Essie Jam N' Jelly – Swatches
This polish is Essie Jam N' Jelly – and that name annoys me on a few levels: its not a jelly, really. Not with that super shimmer. and N'?! Really? If it's a shortened 'and', shouldn't it be 'N'? Ok, enough already. Its a very pretty polish
I bought this off Trade Me, from a lovely trader who packed it beautifully for postage. I also bought Butter London No More Waity Katie, and Zoya Danii from her, photos of Dannii to come later 🙂
This is two very easy coats, no top coat. It dried moderately quickly, and applied well with no streaks or hassle.
It's a vibrant fuchsia with insane pink shimmer, and as much as I want it to suit me, it just doesn't. However, I feel it will look amazing as a pedi polish…. and even more fun once I holographic it up 😀
Thanks for reading, have a wonderful day!
Ami 🙂

During this brief delay, we will still be here, keeping our eyes peeled on any news and events that may be relevant to you. Before 2019 creeps up on us, though, we want to hear what our dear readers and listeners have to say about Capital Women, itself. It's been over a year since Capital Women started, and it's time to learn your thoughts on our progress, visual style, and anything else you believe is worth sharing. Please fill out this Google Form to offer your feedback.
So far, we've already gotten a few responses, one of which was, "More events! Send the newsletter more often." Because of this, here is one new change you can expect for 2019: a bigger emphasis on events in the newsletter. Whether or not the bi-weekly newsletter will switch to weekly will also be up to you and any new responses we receive. In the end, you matter, and we are only here to please.
Thank you as always for subscribing to Capital Women, and I hope you have a very happy end to a very turbulent year.Read More
Issue #25: Local comedian discusses her workshop for funny women/
Greetings once again, dear Capital Women readers! First, I would like to begin this newsletter with apologies for only providing one newsletter and podcast episode in the month of October; typically, Capital Women publishes on the first and third Monday of every month, but in October, it was only on the first. The delay was due to me coming down with a pretty terrible cold, but I'm all better now (save for the occasional cough), and I'm happy to provide the latest news you should read and upcoming events you should keep an eye on. When it comes to the podcast, get excited for an interview with local comedian Nicki Fuchs, who discusses The Clitorati, a safe, creative workshop for up-and-coming, female-identifying comedians. Thanks for subscribing, and expect more in two weeks!Read More

These changes will debut in 2019, but I would love to hear what thoughts you have, whether they be positive or critical. Please fill out this Google Form to offer your feedback. When it comes to what to get excited for today, there is so much news worth catching up on. The events are just as thrilling, and today's podcast is sure to be filled with lots of great advice.

The Long Winters/
It's 49 degrees here at one o'clock in the morning, and I'm sitting in my car outside my house because I don't want to stop listening to this album.
Something like four years ago, one of my good college friends gave me an album by a band called The Long Winters. I never really got around to listening to it. It stayed on my iPod for a long time and even survived the great iTunes purge, but otherwise, I hardly gave it a second thought.
As fate would have it, here in the present day, Merlin Mann, one of my Internet heroes, has a new podcast with John Roderick, who just happens to be the frontman of The Long Winters, which just happens to be the band whose album my friend gave me four years ago. When I found myself enjoying what this John Roderick character had to say, I thought it might be worthwhile to finally check out his band. Fortunately, their latest album was already in my iTunes library, where it had been patiently waiting for the past four years.
Let me point out that two of my favorite bands of all time put out new records this week, and yet neither have garnered the emotional response I've experienced because of this five year old album by The Long Winters. It's remarkable.
Sometimes, a piece of music changes your life in an instant, whether it's your first or hundredth listen. It hits you at exactly the right moment, when your surroundings, your mood, your thoughts, and everything in life is captured perfectly within the song. It creates one of those sensory memories that gets burned into your brain and transports you back to that moment whenever you hear that song again. You're able to remember exactly how you were feeling, what you were thinking, and how crisp the autumn air smelled as you drove around on empty midnight roads with the windows down, listening to the music. It's a feeling I can only describe as euphoric.
It's amazing how one moment can affect you so profoundly, even four years later. Had I not received this particular album from my friend way back when, I might have still discovered the band, but I also might have bought a different album, or I might have pressed play at a different moment, one devoid of the unique circumstances contributing to this emotional experience.
This music is exactly what I need in this moment. It's the perfect soundtrack to all of my present hopes and fears. Maybe it's the intoxicating 49 degree air, or the romantic after-midnight hour talking, but this perfect storm of music, mood, and season have filled me with an incredible sense of joy. I don't even want to get out of my car for fear of stopping the music and breaking the spell.
I know when I wake up tomorrow morning, it'll be just another Monday. This comforting euphoria will be gone, but at least I'll still have this album. All the memories associated with its discovery here, in this moment, will last for years to come, and I look forward to reliving that moment over the course of many future listens.

Serving those who gave so much for us with integrity and honor.
Wounded Veterans of Oklahoma is a vital support group and resource in helping veterans transition from the Armed Forces to civilian life. We assist veterans from all foreign wars, Fire Departments, Police Departments and Sheriffs' Departments with all aspects of their lives. Whether you just recently left the service or you left decades ago. we all share a common bond of duty, honor, selfless service, and loyalty. Some have served overseas in combat and some here in the United States. No matter where they served most find themselves dealing with PTSD or some type of injury, whether physical or mental.
We don't just help the veteran, we also help their families. We truly feel that the families of the veterans also sacrificed much and have struggles of their own. Our focus on the veteran and their family is what makes our organization so unique and different from other non-profits. They served our Country and community so that we may continue to have the freedoms that so many others long for.
Wounded Veterans of Oklahoma is a 501c3 non-profit organization. Our mission is to honor our veterans by helping them with any need they may have in their life, especially the need of companionship.
WVO has programs and guidelines for Churches and businesses who want to start a program for veterans. Our goal is to help establish programs that will help bring veterans together and help them with their daily lives and the struggles they deal with. The key to truly helping Veterans is having a continual relationship where they can find and have support and relationships they need. Veterans want to speak to other veterans about what they are going through and what they have been through. It is very difficult for them to speak to someone who will not understand what they have been through which in turn will keep them from opening up completely. Only when a veteran opens up completely can they truly get the help they need.
Every Church and major business in the United States has a veteran within their organization or company who are wanting someone to talk to or something to be a part of. The key is having something that they can not only relate to, but can also value. They want to be a part of something they can connect with. Just like a Church that is trying to get their members more involved the key is getting that member or veterans to make that first step. Everyone is looking for a reason to take that first step. What we do is we help you implement a program that will help them take that first step. If you would like to speak with us about setting something up please contact us!
Why we do what we do

Are you a veteran? Join us on our next trip and get to know other veterans in Oklahoma.
