The Fusion wall wine rack panel uses pegs to display wine bottles in a "label-out" configuration. As a result, the Fusion panel shows off the choicest gems from your wine collection. Spruce up any room or living area with the versatile Fusion label-out panel.
Want to create a unique wall wine rack? Look no further.
Use one label-out panel to display your favorite wines. You could also place several panels together to create a stunning display. It's up to you! You can mix-and-match faceplates of different colors and materials (Alumasteel and Black Acrylic, for example) to make an even more eye-catching wine storage system. All our Fusion Label-Out panels blend together and maintain consistent bottle spacing for a clean and flush appearance.
Want to change faceplate colors? Here's the kicker.
Don't like the color you chose for your Fusion panel arrangement? Our design makes the faceplates easy to change. You don't have to reinstall the entire panel if you want to switch from wood to metal or acrylic. All you have to do is remove the pegs, install a new faceplate, and reinstall the pegs. BOOM! Now you have a totally new wine display!
How many bottles do Fusion label-out panels hold?
The capacity of our Fusion label-out panels depends on the bottle depth:
- Single deep: 3 bottles
- Double deep: 6 bottles
- Triple deep: 9 bottles
What other Fusion panel options are there?
We offer Fusion Label-Out panels with 4 different faceplates: Alumasteel, White Acrylic, Black Acrylic, and Dark Stain.
Ultra Fusion panels represent the latest in modern wine storage.
Humans have long been trapped in the dark ages because we stored our wines in the dark honeycombs of wooden wine racks with only their corks visible. Because of this, our friends, families, and guests never knew just how amazing our wine collections were. But now, Fusion panels bring those wines out of the dark ages and into the light where you can see them. Order an Ultra wall wine rack today and see the difference.

Great words! And so true! Kairos!
I am the kind of an old lady who does not remember a lot of the time kids were young. I thought my memory has done me a nasty trick in that respect but maybe I am the lucky one... I don't remember how awful it sometimes was, I just remember some wonderful moments. - January 11, 2012 at 2:25 PM

— Our thanks to the ALDF Blog, where this post originally appeared on January 5, 2011.
Driving home from the grocery store last week, just after dusk, I encountered a curious pedestrian crossing my street as I approached my home.
Who was it exactly? I can't be sure but his name just might have been Wile E. Coyote. Yes, he had a lean, wolf-like appearance and loping gait which were unmistakable. He was a coyote alright. As a result, the short meeting reminded me of a recent article in the Los Angeles Daily News discussing the way some cities deal with their coyote populations, and in particular, the trailblazing city of Calabasas.While most people are naturally uneasy at the thought of roaming, howling coyotes, the truth is "They're not circling your house, frothing at the mouth, waiting to kill somebody," Lt. Marty Wall of the California Department of Fish and Game told the Daily News. But coyotes do pose a threat to animals and can attack humans, so cities in Southern California have to have a plan to deal with them.
Recently, there has been an increase in coyote sightings and confrontations, making the need for a coyote plan all the more pressing for cities. As such, it is quite commendable that the city of Calabasas has become one of the few Los Angeles area cities to enact a coyote management plan that bans the use of city funds for trapping. The Calabasas City Council adopted the plan after "animal activists decried the use of snare traps as inhumane because they don't always catch an intended target and can slowly strangle the animal." The trapped coyotes are usually euthanized as set out by state law. Before this new plan, county officials could be called in to trap a sighted coyote even if there was no attack involved. Now it will take an attack against a human to generate action by the city, possibly involving the state Department of Fish and Game to investigate and then handle any possible trapping.
The new policy also includes "an aggressive coexistence education campaign aimed at teaching residents how to scare off coyotes that have become too familiar with humans, and how to protect their pets." The Los Angeles Times has reported that Calabasas "will work with Project Coyote, the Animal Welfare Institute and the National Park Service to develop a public education campaign that will teach residents how to live more harmoniously with coyotes." Project Coyote is one of the groups that have worked tirelessly to minimize coyote conflicts with people, and it was at the forefront of the Calabasas plan, organizing an online petition in support. Camilla Fox, executive director of Project Coyote, was instrumental in getting the ordinance passed, as she helped to edit the final language of the ordinance.
As Calabasas Councilman Fred Gaines said, "We're living in their neighborhoods. There's no reason to harm these animals. They're not attacking humans. From time to time, they do pick up a pet, but that's what they do. [And w]e'd have a lot more rats and mice without them." The statistics show that Calabasas has not had any human attacks at least in the last nine years, and only one companion animal has been killed during that time period. It certainly does appear that the key to peaceful coexistence is changing human behavior to make sure coyotes aren't attracted to human areas, just as experts have said. Officer Greg Randall, wildlife specialist with Los Angeles Department of Animal Services, was quoted in the article stating that, "It's a waste of time to spend your time removing animals that have survived for the last 235 years. If killing them worked, they wouldn't be here. So removing them isn't the answer."
All this brings me back to that lone pedestrian I encountered last week. I was not frightened. I was in my car, after all. But seeing Wile E. did make me stop for a moment and think, are all my dogs inside? As I recalled that, yes, they were all safely inside the house, I was glad to have had that brief, yet natural encounter with a native resident of my city. His ancestors were here long before mine. And while we do have the ability to annihilate and destroy this perceived threat, isn't it always better, and humane, to at least try and live peacefully side by side.

What is Py6S?
Py6S is an open-source (GPLv3) tool that provides an interface to the Second Simulation of the Satellite Signal in the Solar Spectrum (6S) atmospheric Radiative Transfer Model through Python. It was developed by Robin Wilson.
Py6S v1.0 was described in Wilson (2012). You must cite this paper if you use Py6S as part of any research which you later publish: Wilson, R. T., 2012, Py6S: A Python interface to the 6S radiative transfer model, Computers and Geosciences, 51, p166-171. (See what I've done here?)
It is also well documented by the author, including examples and a list of papers citing Py6S, on this link: https://py6s.readthedocs.org/en/latest/publications.html
You can find an overview of ARSF's settings for Py6S model here ARSF's settings for Py6S model here.
Running Py6S for hyperspectral delivery check
You can plot the at-sensor radiance spectra recorded by hyperspectral sensor and compare it to the at-sensor py6s model using the script check_fenix_spectra_py6s.py. This procedure should be done during the hyperespectral delivery check.
The simplest version of the script looks for a random vegetation pixel at nadir and plots its spectra recorded by the Fenix sensor versus the predefined py6s vegetation type without atmospheric correction.
Go to delivery project directory that you want to check. Example: ~arsf/arsf_data/2015/flight_data/spain/EUFAR15_38-2015_170_Mallorca/processing/delivery/EUFAR15_38-170-hyperspectral-20151014 If you are airborne user at the selected delivery directory, you can follow the steps on this wiki and simply copy and paste the commands on the terminal.
Create a new folder as airborne user on the temporary directory:
output_folder=/tmp/fenix_vs_py6s-`date +%s` mkdir $output_folder
You can run several plots per flightline to avoid error caused by a erroneous pixel. You can choose the number of plots to output but suggested number is 3. To run the script select as -i the level1b folder on the delivery created
check_fenix_spectra_py6s.py -i ./flightlines/level1b/ --num_plots 3 -o $output_folder
This will run the py6s model 3 times for flightline and can take some time to complete. It will create 3 .png files per flightline that you will need to check carefully. To this end, you can find some essential tips on the bottom of this page.
The script also needs the IGM directory and the NAV files for every file on the level1b directory. If the location is not the usual one and the script can't find it, you can specify their paths on the command line by using:
-m INIGM, --inigm INIGM
Input IGM directory (optional, only required if non-standard location)
-n INNAV, --innav INNAV
Input post-processed navigation file directory (optional, only required if non-standard location)
If you want to run the model with different settings, click here for more advanced techniques such as:
- Plot spectra for only one flightline in a directory with several ones. Or a specific flightline with different names on IGM, NAV and level1b.
- Chose a pixel by its given (lat,lon).
- Chose a pixel by its position on the grid (x,y).
- Use in-situ reflectance instead of the predefined by Py6S.
Checking the spectra
The 6S model simulates at-sensor radiance but the parameters used for the atmosphere (atmospheric profile, AOT) are currently kept the same for all times / regions. Therefore, the values of spectra recorded by the Fenix instrument may differ from those produced by Py6S due to differences in actual atmospheric parameters and those used as input to 6S.
Py6S has several parameters needed to run the model. For this script, ARSF have selected the most convenient ones for our use but do not expect perfect match of the hyperspectral spectra recorded from our sensor against the Py6S. A more detailed explanation about Py6S parameters and settings used by ARSF can be found here.
Both curves (Fenix and Py6S) should match general features. The peaks and depression (reflecfance-absorption) caused by vegetation have to match and there should be no other spikes on the Fenix spectra that does not match the Py6s. However, note that it is probably to have a spike on some Fenix spectra flightlines on the bands around band 349, close to 900-950 nm. This is caused by the shift on the SWIR bands detected on on October 2014 and those pixels are listed as bad pixels, therefore the spectra recorded by Fenix is correct. You can find a picture illustrating this issue which also suggest the type of spike you have to look for when they are not on the overlapping region.
Figure above shows Fenix vs Py6S. Both spectra matches except for a Fenix spike close to 950 nm. No other spikes or depressions like that one (which does not match the Py6S model) should be found outside the overlappiing region.
Moreover, peaks VNIR (around 750-850 nm) and SWIR (1000 nm) has to be present on the Fenix spectra. The SWIR peak should be lower than the VNIR but both of them should be comparable. You can find more detailed examples with pictures about erroneous spectra here.

Welcome to Classic Shirts F.C.
The place to find your
Classic Vintage Footballshirt.
Based in Holland
Juventus 1997-98 home shirt
Size: L - Pit to pit 56 cm Length 74 cm
Kappa Juventus shirt with classic Sony Minidisc sponsor as worn in the 1997-98 season in which they narrowly lost the CL final to Real Madrid in Amsterdam. Squad included players like; Zidane, Davids, Del Piero and Inzaghi.
8/10 Excellent Condition
Stefan Kops
The story about Classic Shirts F.C. actually started over 25 years ago. At that time when I was 7 or 8 years old, my passion for footballshirts really kicked off.
I remember driving my parents crazy on our annual summer holidays because I wanted to spend all day looking at football shirts at the marketplaces in Italy, France, Spain or wherever we went.
Since that moment the passion for football shirts was in my blood. A few years ago I started collecting and trading vintage 80's and 90's football shirts.
What I especially like, besides the wonderful designs, are all the memories they bring back. Every individual shirt can bring you right back to that specific moment, time or place and the memories you have about it.
With this website I hope you can find yourself a shirt to bring back your specific memory or create a new one wearing them.
If you like what you see here or want to have more information make sure to follow us on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter or just send us an e-mail on the address below.
Many thanks,

As a lover of technology, I tend to accumulate bits and pieces of interesting devices. Usually, these are purchased for use on unrelated projects, and on occasion, I have the opportunity to bring them together into a single project in a previously unanticipated way. Such is the case with my Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Both are interesting microcomputers with their own strengths and weaknesses, so it was when I learned that they could be made to work together with the help of Robot Operating System, I had to give it a shot.
ROS is an open-sourced project that is dedicated to providing a framework of libraries for performing common tasks under the general heading of robotics. It also includes drivers that allow you to easily interface with common hardware. The core of ROS is a reactor model of observables and observers that send messages to one another, typically over a serial connection, allowing any number of controllers to interface with one another and form a unified whole.
The rosserial_arduino
library is a project that allows ROS on a Raspberry Pi (or other *nix device) to interface with an Arduino over a USB serial connection, thereby combining the computing power and versatility of a Linux-based microcomputer with the IO capabilities of an Arduino.
What You'll Need to Get Started
- Raspberry Pi 2 Model B
- RealTek #814B Mini WiFi Module
- 8GB or greater MicroSD card
- USB A/Micro B cable to power the Pi
- HDMI cable
- Mouse and Keyboard for controlling the Pi
- Monitor or TV that accepts an HDMI input
- Computer with an internet connection and an SD card slot
Installing Raspbian on the Pi
If your Pi already has an operating system on it, you can probably skip this step. If, however, it's straight out of the box, you'll need to install the Raspbian distribution.
As of this writing, the latest version of Raspbian is Jesse, released in September of 2015. I wasn't able to get ROS working with this version, and backed down to the Wheezy release from May of 2015 instead. To install the operating system, I did the following:
- Download the Raspbian Wheezy image via a bittorrent client.
- When the download is complete, follow these instructions to copy the image file to your MicroSD card.
- Unmount the card, insert it into your Pi, and hook up the power. Your device should boot into a command prompt. From here, you can run
to customize the installation, or get right to installing ROS.
Once the installation is complete, be sure to check for updates:
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo apt-get update pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo apt-get upgrade
An up to date system is a safe system.
Once your Pi has an operating system, you can switch to interacting with it via SSH. My TV is the only "monitor" in my house that has an HDMI input on it, so SSH works much better for me.
Make sure that sshd
is running on your Pi:
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo service sshd status ● ssh.service - OpenBSD Secure Shell server Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/ssh.service; enabled) Active: active (running) since Thu 2015-10-08 12:17:06 UTC; 4 days ago Main PID: 506 (sshd) CGroup: /system.slice/ssh.service └─506 /usr/sbin/sshd -D
If everything is working, you should see the text active (running)
in the result. Once we know that an ssh server is running, we can check our ip address with the ifconfig
command. The output should look something like this:
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr b8:27:eb:b9:49:cd inet addr:192.168.0.109 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:5150 errors:0 dropped:51 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:565 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:552488 (539.5 KiB) TX bytes:60766 (59.3 KiB) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric:1 RX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:1104 (1.0 KiB) TX bytes:1104 (1.0 KiB)
If your Pi is connected to a LAN cable, you'll want to look at the eth0
section. If it's connected to WiFi, look for a wlan0
section. Both sections should have an inet addr
field whose value starts with a 192.168.x.x
address. In my case, it's 192.168.0.109
. From a terminal on my computer, I can connect with:
jfritz@IDEAPAD-UBUNTU:~$ ssh email@example.com
When prompted to accept the Pi's RSA key, I do, and when prompted for a password, I enter the default password raspberry
. If you intend to leave the Pi connected to your network for long periods of time, you should change this password or add key-based authentication to the system.
If you have problems getting connected, check out the official instructions on the Raspberry Pi website.
Installing ROS on the Pi
As of this writing, the most recent version of ROS is Indigo, released in July of 2014. To get it running on the Pi, you'll want to follow the official ROSberryPi installation instructions on the ROS website.
While following these instructions, I had a few false starts. It's important to read the instructions carefully, as they're fairly generic, and can be used to install different configurations of ROS on different versions of Raspbian. I found that the instructions for the ros_conn
configuration worked best on Raspbian's Wheezy release.
The trickiest part of the instructions is section 2.2 Resolve Dependencies. It took me a couple of reads to realize that if you're installing ROS Indigo's ros_conn
configuration on Raspbian Wheezy, you only need to compile two packages from source: libconsole-bridge-dev
and liblz4-dev
. Installing any other packages at this step just costs you time, and may introduce problems down the road.
I also found that the install process went much smoother when the Pi was connected to a LAN rather than WiFi. The WiFi signal in my house is relatively weak, and the Realtek #814B is really cheap, so downloading a lot of files while maintaining an SSH connection is a big ask.
Once the installation is complete, open up your ~/.bashrc
file, and add two lines to the end:
# export ROS environment variables source /opt/ros/indigo/setup.bash
This will make sure that the appropriate environment variables are set to interact with ROS on every startup. You can check that it worked by rebooting your Pi and running
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ printenv | grep ROS ROS_ROOT=/opt/ros/indigo/share/ros ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/opt/ros/indigo/share:/opt/ros/indigo/stacks ROS_MASTER_URI=http://localhost:11311 ROS_DISTRO=indigo ROS_ETC_DIR=/opt/ros/indigo/etc/ros
If you see all of the ROS_* environment variables print out, then everything is set up and ready to go. Now it's time to start on some tutorials.
Eventually, I want to get the Raspberry Pi communicating with the Arduino, and use the latter as a sensor platform and motor controller for some kind of a robot. For now, I need to find my way around ROS.

Luke chapter 3
total: 38
Now in the fifteenth year of the rule of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being ruler of Judaea, and Herod being king of Galilee, his brother Philip king of the country of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias king of Abilene,
When Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of the Lord came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the waste land.
And he came into all the country round about Jordan, preaching baptism as a sign of forgiveness of sin for those whose hearts were changed.
As it says in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the waste land, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his roads straight.
Every valley will be lifted up, and all the mountains and hills made low, and the twisted will be made straight, and the rough ways smooth;
And all flesh will see the salvation of God.
So he said to the people who went out to him for baptism: You offspring of snakes, at whose word are you going in flight from the wrath to come?
Make clear by your acts that your hearts have been changed; and do not say to yourselves, We have Abraham for our father: for I say to you that God is able from these stones to make children of Abraham.
And even now the axe is put to the root of the trees; and every tree which does not have good fruit will be cut down and put into the fire.
And the people put questions to him, saying, What have we to do?
And he made answer and said to them, He who has two coats, let him give to him who has not even one; and he who has food, let him do the same.
Then tax-farmers came to him for baptism and said to him, Master, what have we to do?
And he said to them, Do not make an attempt to get more money than the right amount.
And men of the army put questions to him, saying, And what have we to do? And he said to them, Do no violent acts to any man, and do not take anything without right, and let your payment be enough for you.
And while the people were waiting, and all men were questioning in their hearts about John, if he was the Christ or not,
John made answer, saying to them all, Truly, I give you baptism with water, but one is coming who is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo: he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit, and with fire:
In whose hand is the instrument with which he will make clean his grain; he will put the good grain in his store, but the waste will be burned in the fire which will never be put out.
And so comforting them with these and other words, he gave the good news to the people;
But Herod the king, because John had made a protest on account of Herodias, his brother's wife, and other evil things which Herod had done,
Did this most evil thing of all, and had John shut up in prison.
Now it came about that when all the people had been given baptism, Jesus, having had baptism with them, was in prayer, when, the heaven being open,
The Holy Spirit came down in the form of a dove, and a voice came from heaven, saying, You are my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.
And Jesus at this time was about thirty years old, being the son (as it seemed) of Joseph, the son of Heli,
The son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph,
The son of Mattathias, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai,
The son of Maath, the son of Mattathias, the son of Semein, the son of Josech, the son of Joda,
The son of Joanan, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri,
The son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmadam, the son of Er,
The son of Jesus, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi,
The son of Symeon, the son of Judas, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonam, the son of Eliakim,
The son of Melea, the son of Menna, the son of Mattatha, the son of Nathan, the son of David,
The son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Salmon, the son of Nahshon,
The son of Amminadab, the son of Arni, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah,
The son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor,
The son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shelah,
The son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech,
The son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalaleel, the son of Cainan,
The son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.

text: Configurations Configurations allow you to create multiple variations of a part or assembly model within a single document. Configurations provide a convenient way to develop and manage families of models with different dimensions, components, or other parameters. To create a configuration, you specify a name and properties, then you modify the model to create the design variations you want. In part documents, configurations allow you to create families of parts with different dimensions, features, and properties, including custom properties. In assembly documents, configurations allow you to create: Simplified versions of the design by suppressing components. Families of assemblies with different configurations of the components, different parameters for assembly features, different dimensions, or configuration-specific custom properties. In drawing documents, you can display views of the configurations you create in part and assembly documents. You can create configurations using any of the following methods: Create configurations manually. Use design tables to create and manage configurations in a Microsoft Excel worksheet. You can display design tables in drawings. Use the Modify Configurations dialog box to create and modify configurations for commonly configured parameters. Custom properties created in design tables or the Modify Configurations dialog box are automatically added to the Configuration Properties tab in the Properties dialog box. Contents Configuration Views You can use configuration views to create, select, and view multiple configurations of parts and assemblies in a document. Managing Configuration Data For part and assembly models containing configurations, you can manage the size of files and the time required to save them. Manual Configurations Design Table Configurations A design table allows you to build multiple configurations of parts or assemblies by specifying parameters in an embedded Microsoft Excel worksheet. Modify Configurations You can use the Modify Configurations and the Configuration Table dialog boxes to create and modify configurations for configured parameters in parts and assemblies.

Car and Truck Fuel Tanks
Fuel tanks hold the unleaded gas or diesel that your car or your truck needs to run. The capacity of the tank depends on the size of the vehicle. Here are some of the details about fuel tanks:
How does the fuel tank of a vehicle work?A fuel tank holds the combustion fuel you need to drive your car or truck. When the car starts, the fuel pump pumps the gas out of the tank and pushes it into the fuel lines. Eventually, it gets to the engine combustion chamber and makes the car or truck run. This process, which starts with the fuel tank, lasts a matter of seconds.
How do you install a new fuel tank?Here is how to install a new tank.
- Place the new fuel tank on the same jack you used to lower the old one.
- Raise it slowly, connecting the electrical connector and the hoses.
- Secure the bolt accessories into the straps.
- Reinstall any other parts that you removed.
- After removing the jack, lower the car and transfer the gas you removed earlier into the new tank.
- The last step is reconnecting the cable to the negative terminal of the battery.
The majority of fuel tanks are made from one of two materials:
- High-Density Polyethylene: This is a plastic that is blow-molded. It is blown into a ball like a bubble and, then, shaped to the appropriate standards for the vehicle. It is a common choice because it can conform to almost any shape; it is a single piece without joints to leak, and the complex shapes can be mounted in locations to increase crash safety. Fuel emissions are also lowered when HDPE versionss are used.
- Molded sheet metal: Until the development of HDPE, tanks were made almost exclusively of stamped sheet aluminum and steel. It is a strong material that can withstand collision damage. It continues to be the material of choice in classic cars.
Reserve transfer tanks are a molded section of a tank or second, adjacent unit that is not affected by the gas gauge. This is designed to give you a bit of additional fuel if you run out of gas. In many cars, it holds approximately 15% of the volume of the main tank.
What are racing fuel cells?Racing fuel cells are fuel tanks that are encased in rigid boxes lined with closed-cell foam. They are given an additional layer of padding to increase safety in a sport that has a higher likelihood of crashes. They are an excellent choice when considering fuel tanks to place in a racing vehicle.

IRA Analyst
1. What is the NUA (Net Unrealized Appreciation) tax break? It is the opportunity to pay tax at long-term capital gains rates on the appreciation of company stock held within a company plan vs. paying ordinary income rates on that growth.
2. Who is a potential candidate for NUA? Anyone with highly appreciated company stock in their workplace plan, like a 401(k).
3. Can it be any company stock? It must be the company stock of the company that sponsors the 401(k). The company stock can be held as individual shares within the plan or as a stock fund that is converted to shares upon distribution.
4. How do you define "highly appreciated"? "Highly appreciated" is subjective. There is no magic percentage dictating what level of growth makes for a good NUA opportunity. Every person is different, and every person will have an NUA "tipping point" where it makes sense.
5. Can anyone take advantage of the NUA tax break? No. A person must hit an NUA "trigger event," of which there are only four: Reaching age 59½ (although the plan is not required to allow an in-service distribution at that age); Separation from service (not for the self-employed); Disability (only for the self-employed); and Death. To be eligible for NUA, one of these triggers must be met.
6. What actions will "activate" the NUA trigger? Any distribution from the plan, such as an RMD, will activate the trigger. A partial rollover could activate the trigger, as could an in-plan Roth conversion. If the trigger is activated, the NUA lump sum distribution transaction must be completed by the end of that same calendar year, or that specific NUA trigger opportunity will be lost.
7. Do you have to completely empty the 401(k) account? Yes, there must be a full lump sum distribution. A successful NUA transaction requires the entire 401(k) balance to be emptied in one calendar year. Typically, non-NUA assets get rolled to an IRA, and the NUA stock is transferred in-kind to a non-qualified brokerage account.
8. Will late additions to the plan disqualify the lump sum distributions? No, dividends or other late additions that trickle into the 401(k) account in the next year will not disqualify the lump sum payout.
9. Can an NUA transaction be done before age 59 ½? Yes, if another trigger is activated, like separation from service. The age-55 exception will allow some people under age 59 ½ to avoid the 10% penalty on the NUA transaction. If under age 55, the 10% penalty will only apply to the cost basis of the NUA stock (and any non-NUA stock assets that are not rolled over).
10. Is NUA an all-or-nothing deal? No. Partial NUA transactions are allowed. However, any company stock that is rolled over to an IRA will forever lose the NUA tax-break opportunity.

"Learning how the blockchain & crypto industry works is like learning a new language," Olawale Daniel once said learning a new thing. It's quite difficult at first, but once it clicks, it'll be with you for the rest of your life. Today, let's meet the man who lives by these words and has recently become a well-known crypto person in Asia.
Mr. Murali G (Muli), a 28-year-old businessman, has left a mark in the crypto space in a very short period of time with hard work and enthusiasm of doing something great in life. Before Muli got his foot in the door of blockchain, he worked on operations, marketing and business development in a number of tech giants in China, including NetEase (YouDao), a conglomerate of online services and Kuaishou, the major competitor of TikTok in Asia.
At the start of 2022, Muli was promoted to Head of Overseas Business at Bibox, the first AI-powered cryptocurrency exchange in the world trusted by more than 10 million users from 160+ countries worldwide for 5 years now. Muli is leading the company's marketing, branding, business development, partnership and operations teams across south Asian and south-east Asia, including Bangladesh, Pakistan, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia and India, his homeland.
"With India taxing cryptocurrency and introducing central bank digital currency in the Budget Presentation recently, I see this as an unprecedented opportunity for Bibox to strengthen our foundation in the Indian market," said Muli in the interview with Techkaro India. 'The Bibox Indian team has been burning the midnight oil to bring alive a set of localized and brand-new features, and promising project tokens for the local users, on top of expanding the team size and building new partnerships with top-tier crypto VC firms.'
According to an industry report released earlier this year, India has 15-20 million cryptocurrency investors and traders, with total crypto assets valued at approximately 400 billion rupees ($5.33 billion). These figures are growing day by day.
The report also found out that compared to traders in other markets, Indian traders prefer easy-to-use yet powerful tools and products such as bot trading, copy trading and staking. Muli said Bibox is a one-stop solution to cater for Indian users. 'Meanwhile, we are accelerating our expansion to all the other Asian countries and believe that Bibox will be the go-to exchange soon in local traders' day-to-day trading.'

Chalk up another loss for space/launch insurance underwriters. A Proton/Briz M launch's 3rd stage failed and lost MexSat-1 (a.k.a. Centenario) — a huge Boeing 702 intended for mobile and fixed services (L- and Ku-band).
What happened? Anatoly Zak gives the best, most-qualified explanation. Probably fuel line problems.
Add this to a Soyuz launch anomaly earlier this month and you would think this may be a pattern. Is it technical or is it systemic? Probably both.
One could argue there's a lack of enthusiasm and a brain-drain of top Ukrainian engineering talent in the Russian space business. Or it could be the return of the "old Soviet work ethic," where nobody really cares. People get promoted to positions of authority without really being qualified, just so they can be "controlled" by others at the Kremlin. That's what I think is happening.
It goes back more than 10 years, around the time Putin started going after complete control of Russia. In 2006, Mario Lemme's Space Transport Inc. was created to take control of International Launch Services, the joint venture created to market Proton and Atlas launches. Since then, the market for commercial launches has changed (thank you, SpaceX), but the prices for launch services has gone up. But the technical success helps further development of non-commercial and space-exploration systems. With the world still dependent on getting humans to/from the ISS using the Soyuz launcher, we're in a spot of trouble.
Meanwhile, how are we to substitute our supply source for RD-180 engines? We need to make this a priority. Rather, the big boys in the U.S. are more concerned about corporate headcount (read about the "mothers day massacre").
Science likes to explain things with facts. Political views tend to use some facts. But outright liars and social manipulators such as Putin and his fellow KGB remnants don't get along with any facts they don't like. They just want control. Control of people, money and probably access to space from Russian territory (hence the pressure to build Vostochny).
Succeeding in space will further popularize Putin in Russia and that's what he's after. Fuck science: Russia's space industry is failing due to "moral issues," according to Rogozin.

Anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a heart defect. The left coronary artery (LCA), which carries blood to the heart muscle, begins from the pulmonary artery instead of the aorta.
ALCAPA is present at birth (congenital).
ALCAPA is a problem that occurs when the baby's heart is developing early in the pregnancy. The developing blood vessel to the heart muscle does not attach correctly.
In the normal heart, the LCA originates from the aorta. It supplies oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle on the left side of the heart as well as the mitral valve (the heart valve between the upper and lower chambers of the heart on the left side). The aorta is the major blood vessel that takes oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
In children with ALCAPA, the LCA originates from the pulmonary artery. The pulmonary artery is the major blood vessel that takes oxygen-poor blood from the heart to the lungs to pick up oxygen.
When this defect occurs, blood that is lacking in oxygen is carried to the heart muscle on the left side of the heart. Therefore, the heart muscle does not get enough oxygen. The tissue begins to die due to lack of oxygen. This can cause a heart attack in the baby.
A condition known as "coronary steal" further damages the heart in babies with ALCAPA. The low blood pressure in the pulmonary artery causes blood from the abnormally connected LCA to flow back toward the pulmonary artery instead of toward the heart muscle. This results in less blood and oxygen to the heart muscle. This problem can also lead to a heart attack in a baby. Coronary steal develops over time in babies with ALCAPA if the condition is not treated early.
Symptoms of ALCAPA in an infant include:
- Crying or sweating during feeding
- Irritability
- Pale skin
- Poor feeding
- Rapid breathing
- Symptoms of pain or distress in the baby (often mistaken for colic)
Symptoms can appear within the first 2 months of the baby's life.
Exams and Tests
Typically, ALCAPA is diagnosed during infancy. In rare cases, this defect is not diagnosed until someone is a child or adult.
During an exam, the health care provider will likely find signs of ALCAPA, including:
- Abnormal heart rhythm
- Enlarged heart
- Heart murmur (rare)
- Rapid pulse
Tests that may be ordered include:
- Echocardiogram, which is an ultrasound that views the heart structures and blood flow inside the heart
- Electrocardiogram (ECG), which measures the electrical activity of the heart
- Chest x-ray
- MRI, which provides a detailed image of the heart
- Cardiac catheterization, a procedure in which a thin tube (catheter) is placed into the heart to see blood flow and take accurate measurements of blood pressure and oxygen levels
Surgery is needed to correct ALCAPA. Only one surgery is needed in most cases. However, the surgery will depend on the baby's condition and the size of the involved blood vessels.
If the heart muscle supporting the mitral valve is seriously damaged from decreased oxygen, the baby may also need surgery to repair or replace the valve. The mitral valve controls blood flow between the chambers on the left side of the heart.
A heart transplant can be done in case the baby's heart is severely damaged due to lack of oxygen.
Medicines used include:
- Water pills (diuretics)
- Drugs that make the heart muscle pump harder (inotropic agents)
- Drugs that lower the workload on the heart (beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors)
Outlook (Prognosis)
Without treatment, most babies do not survive their first year. Children who do survive without treatment may have serious heart problems. Babies with this problem who aren't treated could die suddenly during the following years.
With early treatment such as surgery, most babies do well and can expect a normal life. Routine follow-ups with a heart specialist (cardiologist) will be needed.
Possible Complications
Complications of ALCAPA include:
- Heart attack
- Heart failure
- Heart rhythm problems
- Permanent damage to the heart
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Contact your provider if your baby:
- Is breathing rapidly
- Looks very pale
- Seems distressed and cries often

Another thing I find incomprehensible is why would somebody chooses a gluten free diet if you do not have to? Most peopel do it so they can lose weight or they think they are eating healthier.
Those individuals who suffer from Celiac disease have to be on a gluten free diet because their body's immune system overreacts to the protein gluten which is found in most breads. If they consume any gluten foods they can have symptoms of abdominal pain and diarrhea. They have to avoid gluten for their own health because eventually their intestines will be so disrupted that they will not be able to absorb nutrients form the food they eat.
Please anyone who is doing this gluten-free diet without having any medical issues should seriously reconsider.
This diet can put an individual at risk of several vitamin deficiencies:
- iron
- folic acid
- b vitamins
- calcium
- fiber
On a gluten free diet you have to avoid:
- Barley (malt, malt flavoring and malt vinegar are usually made from barley)
Triticale (a cross between wheat and rye)
Durum flour
Graham flour
Now it is hard to find all products that do not have wheat. SO why do it if you do not have to. It is true there are plenty of gluten free products out there, but they are expensive. Why waste your money on something when you do not need to go through this diet??? Most people who follow this diet will eventually not eat bread just to avoid the wheat. This is not healthy either. Your body needs complex carbohydrates for energy so please do not avoid them completely.
We need to follow a healthy diet of:
- fresh fruits and vegetables (buy organic if you can afford it and only those that have high pesticide risk)
- lean meats
- healthy fats: olive oil, nuts, non-fat dairy, avocados
- avoid saturated and transaturated fats (butter, cakes, brownies, donuts...all things unhealthy)
- eat every 2 hours
It is ideal to follow a healthy diet and not go on a gluten free diet unless absolutely necessary.

About me
So a bit about me. I'm 27 and live in Buckinghamshire, England. I studied a level 3 diploma in fashion retail at the Fashion Retail Academy in London for a year after I finished my A levels and after finishing was eager to pursue a career in Fashion PR. During looking for a job I started my blog for a bit of fun and a place to show off my clothes that hardly ever see the light of day, due to being a self confessed shopaholic with a wardrobe is bursting full of clothes. My blog is just the perfect place to show off my favourite items of clothing that make up my wardrobe.
For anyone wondering why I decided to name my blog 'electromarfestival.com' the idea for the name came from my name "Mar" and I love electro music festivals.
I hope you enjoy reading my blog and that you can use my blog for style tips and inspiration for your own outfits.
Much love,

This humble, but immensely powerful seed, kills MRSA, heals the chemical weapon poisoned body, stimulates regeneration of the dying beta cells within the diabetic's pancreas, and yet too few even know it exists
Benefits of Black Seed
The seeds of the annual flowering plant, Nigella Sativa, have been prized for their healing properties since time immemorial. While frequently referred to among English-speaking cultures as Roman coriander, black sesame, black cumin, black caraway and onion seed, it is known today primarily as black seed, which is at the very least an accurate description of its physical appearance. The earliest record of its cultivation and use come from ancient Egypt.
Black seed oil, in fact, was found in Egyptian pharoah Tutankhamun's tomb, dating back to approximately 3,300 years ago.[i] In Arabic cultures, black cumin is known as Habbatul barakah, meaning the "seed of blessing." It is also believed that the Islamic prophet Mohammed said of it that it is "a remedy for all diseases except death."
Benefits of Black Seed
Many of black cumin's traditionally ascribed health benefits have been thoroughly confirmed in the biomedical literature. In fact, since 1964, there have been 656 published, peer-reviewed studies referencing it.
We have indexed salient research, available to view on GreenMedInfo.com on our Black Seed (Nigella Sativa) page, on well over 40 health conditions that may be benefited from the use of the herb, including over 20 distinct pharmacological actions it expresses, such as:
- Analgesic (Pain-Killing)
- Anti-Bacterial
- Anti-Inflammatory
- Anti-Ulcer
- Anti-Cholinergic
- Anti-Fungal
- Ant-Hypertensive
- Antioxidant
- Antispasmodic
- Antiviral
- Bronchodilator
- Gluconeogenesis Inhibitor (Anti-Diabetic)
- Hepatoprotective (Liver Protecting)
- Hypotensive
- Insulin Sensitizing
- Interferon Inducer
- Leukotriene Antagonist
- Renoprotective (Kidney Protecting)
- Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Inhibitor
These 30 pharmacological actions are only a subset of a far wider number of beneficial properties intrinsic to the black seed. While it is remarkable that this seed has the ability to positively modulate so many different biological pathways, this is actually a rather common occurrence among traditional plant medicines.
Our project has identified over 1600 natural compounds with a wide range of health benefits, and we are only in our first 5 years of casual indexing. There are tens of thousands of other substances that have already been researched, with hundreds of thousands of studies supporting their medicinal value (MEDLINE, whence our study abstracts come, has over 600,000 studies classified as related to Complementary and Alternative Medicine).
Take turmeric, for example. We have identified research indicating its value in over 600 health conditions, while also expressing over 160 different potentially beneficial pharmacological actions. You can view the quick summary of over 1500 studies we have summarized on our Turmeric Research page, which includes an explorative video on turmeric. Professional database members are further empowered to manipulate the results according to their search criteria, i.e. pull up and print to PDF the 61 studies on turmeric and breast cancer. This, of course, should help folks realize how voluminous the supportive literature indicating the medicinal value of natural substances, such as turmeric and black seed, really is.
Black seed has been researched for very specific health conditions. Some of the most compelling applications include:
- Type 2 Diabetes: Two grams of black seed a day resulted in reduced fasting glucose, decreased insulin resistance, increased beta-cell function, and reduced glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in human subjects.[ii]
- Helicobacter Pylori Infection: Black seeds possess clinically useful anti-H. pylori activity, comparable to triple eradication therapy.[iii]
- Epilepsy: Black seeds were traditionally known to have anticonvulsive properties. A 2007 study with epileptic children, whose condition was refractory to conventional drug treatment, found that a water extract significantly reduced seizure activity.[iv]
- High Blood pressure: The daily use of 100 and 200 mg of black seed extract, twice daily, for 2 months, was found to have a blood pressure-lowering effect in patients with mild hypertension.[v]
- Asthma: Thymoquinone, one of the main active constituents within Nigella sativa (black cumin), is superior to the drug fluticasone in an animal model of asthma.[vi] Another study, this time in human subjects, found that boiled water extracts of black seed have relatively potent anti-asthmatic effect on asthmatic airways.[vii]
- Acute tonsillopharyngitis: characterized by tonsil or pharyngeal inflammation (i.e. sore throat), mostly viral in origin, black seed capsules (in combination with Phyllanthus niruri) have been found to significantly alleviate throat pain, and reduce the need for pain-killers, in human subjects.[viii]
- Chemical Weapons Injury: A randomized, placebo-controlled human study of chemical weapons injured patients found that boiled water extracts of black seed reduced respiratory symptoms, chest wheezing, and pulmonary function test values, as well as reduced the need for drug treatment.[ix]
- Colon Cancer: Cell studies have found that black seed extract compares favorably to the chemoagent 5-fluoruracil in the suppression of colon cancer growth, but with a far higher safety profile.[x] Animal research has found that black seed oil has significant inhibitory effects against colon cancer in rats, without observable side effects.[xi]
- MRSA: Black seed has anti-bacterial activity against clinical isolates of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus.[xii]
- Opiate Addiction/Withdrawal: A study on 35 opiate addicts found black seed as an effective therapy in long-term treatment of opioid dependence.[xiii]
Sometimes the biblical reference to 'faith the size of a mustard seed moving mountains' comes to mind in connection with natural substances like black seeds. After all, do seeds not contain within them the very hope for continuance of the entire species that bore it? This super-saturated state of the seed, where life condenses itself down into an intensely miniaturized holographic fragment of itself, promising the formation of future worlds within itself, is the very emblem of life's immense and immortal power.
If we understand the true nature of the seed, how much life (past, present and future) is contained within it, it will not seem so far-fetched that it is capable of conquering antibiotic resistant bacteria, healing the body from chemical weapons poisoning, or stimulate the regeneration of dying insulin-producing beta cells in the diabetic, to name but only a fraction of black seed's experimentally-confirmed powers.
Moving the mountain of inertia and falsity associated with the conventional concept of disease, is a task well-suited for seeds and not chemicals. The greatest difference, of course, between a seed and a patented synthetic chemical (i.e. pharmaceutical drug), is that Nature (God) made the former, and men with profit-motives and a deranged understanding of the nature of the body made the latter.
The time, no doubt, has come for food, seeds, herbs, plants, sunlight, air, clean water, and yes, love, to assume once again their central place in medicine, which is to say, the art and science of facilitating self-healing within the human body. Failing this, the conventional medical system will crumble under the growing weight of its own corruption, ineptitude, and iatrogenic suffering (and subsequent financial liability) it causes. To the degree that it reforms itself, utilizing non-patented and non-patentable natural compounds with actual healing properties, a brighter future awaits on the horizon. To the degree that it fails, folks will learn to take back control over their health themselves, which is why black seed, and other food-medicines, hold the key to self-empowerment.

Seven passengers were taken to hospitals when a Hawaiian Airlines flight landed in Honolulu on Thursday morning with smoke in the cabin and cargo hold, officials said.
The passengers had "smoke-related symptoms," Hawaiian Airlines said in a statement.
The smoke buildup happened because oil was leaking "onto hot parts of the plane's engine and air conditioning pressurization system," according to a statement released by the airline, which blamed the leak on a failed seal.
Daniel K. Inouye International Airport Fire Chief Glenn Mitchell described the passengers' injuries as "minor respiratory" in nature. The seven injured were five adults and two children, airline Chief Operating Officer Jon Snook said.
The flight from Oakland, California, made its emergency landing around 11:30 a.m. HT. The other 177 passengers and the seven crew members were bused to the terminal.
The smoke began filling the cabin 20 minutes before the plane's arrival, he said.
"We sincerely apologize to our passengers for this incident and thank them for their cooperation in the evacuation," the airline statement said.
No oxygen masks were deployed to passengers. Snook said the crew didn't want to pump oxygen into the aircraft when there might be a fire. The crew donned smoke masks, he said.
The crew deployed the plane's emergency slides for the evacuation, which officials said took between 30 and 45 seconds.
Because halon was used in the cargo hold, it will take some time to get luggage back to the passengers, Snook said. Each passenger will have their flights comped and will get a voucher for a future flight.

ELMSFORD, N.Y. — Fifty years ago, Ronny Ymbras and nearly half a million other American soldiers were serving in Vietnam. As a paratrooper in the 101st Airborne Division of the U.S. Army, Ymbras was one of 23 wounded in an extreme friendly fire incident that left 13 fellow infantrymen dead. By the time the United States withdrew from Vietnam eight years later, more than 58,000 American soldiers had died in the war.
As Memorial Day 2017 approaches, one of the best books on Vietnam War veterans memorials is now available in a special, hardcover, large-format edition signed by author and Vietnam veteran Ronny Ymbras. With 350 beautiful, full-color photographs documenting more than 50 Vietnam veterans memorial locations nationwide, Fallen Never Forgotten: Vietnam Memorials in the USA includes state-level lists of all those who did not come back alive, along with detailed information about each memorial. Since self-publishing it, the authors of the book have given presentations at the West Point Museum, Barnes and Noble locations, and elsewhere.
"I've done my best, and now I just hope that my fallen brothers can forgive me for taking nearly fifty years to honor them," said Ymbras, who at age 69 still makes paratrooper jumps at military reenactments and other special events. "I'm proud to say that this is their tribute and that they will never be forgotten. There were some obstacles to overcome on the way to the release of our first self-published book, but the work has been truly exciting and rewarding."
By giving other veterans a chance to visit in spirit the many memorials they might not otherwise be able to see, Fallen Never Forgotten has become one of the most personally meaningful Vietnam War books for many who served their country. For a limited time, a special hardcover edition signed by author Ronny Ymbras is available at the book's official website with a discount of $10 off the regular price.
"This special Vietnam Veterans Memorial book is my father's way of honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice and of supporting the many other vets who are still with us today," said co-author Matthew Ymbras. "Even for those who cannot be there in person, Fallen Never Forgotten brings these many sacred memorials to life in ways that help heal and raise much-needed awareness."
About Fallen Never Forgotten: Vietnam Memorials in the USA:
Raising awareness and helping the living heal, Fallen Never Forgotten chronicles more than 50 Vietnam veterans memorials across the United States with professional photographs, background information, and state-level lists of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

One of the things you notice in a small town where there isn't much noise is what noise there is. In addition to overlooking Kachemak Bay and the Homer Spit and part of the Kenai mountains, we overlook the Homer airport, which generates a surprising number of small plane takeoffs and the run-up engine checks prior to takeoff.
I've traveled many miles in small planes throughout Alaska, mostly in high school as an orchestra geek. I was fortunate enough to play in the Fairbanks Symphony and the Arctic Chamber Orchestra and saw parts of Alaska that are only accessible by air. It's also the way to get to where the bears live.

Some scripts to bundle Archive Team uploads and upload them to Archive.org. Use at your own risk; the scripts will need per-project adjustment.
These scripts make batches of uploaded warc.gz files, combine them into megawarcs and upload them to their permanent home on Archive.org.
Three processes work together to make this happen:
The chunker moves uploaded warc.gz files from the upload directory to a batch directory. When this directory has grown to 50GB, the chunker begins a new directory and moves the completed directory to the packing queue.
There can only be one chunker per upload directory. Chunking doesn't take long, if the files are not moving to a different filesystem.
The packer monitors the packing queue. When the chunker brings a new directory, the packer removes the directory from the queue and starts converting it into a megawarc (using the megawarc utility). When that is done, the packer moves the megawarc to the upload queue and removes the original warc files.
If necessary, multiple packers can work the same queue. Packing involves lots of gzipping and takes some time.
The uploader monitors the upload queue. When the packer brings a new megawarc, the uploader removes the megawarc from the queue and uploads it to Archive.org. If the upload is successful, the uploader removes the megawarc.
If necessary, multiple uploaders can work the same queue.
The offloader monitors the upload queue. Instead of uploading to Archive.org, the megawarc will be sent to another host via rsync. This is useful when Archive.org has issues.
This can be used at the same time as the uploader without issues.
From the chunker to the uploader, the chunks move through the system as timestamped directories, e.g., 20130401213900.) This timestamp will also be used in the name of the uploaded item on Archive.org. The queues are directories. Processes 'claim' a chunk by moving it from the queue directory to their working directory. This assumes that mv
is an atomic operation.
For efficiency and to maintain the atomicity of mv
, the filesystem of the directories is very important:
Filesystems 1 and 2 do not have to be the same.
Create a configuration file called config.sh
and place it in the directory where you start the scripts. See the config.example.sh
for more details.
Run the scripts in screen
, tmux
or something similar. touch RUN
before you start the scripts. Use rm RUN
to stop gracefully.
(run exactly one)./pack-multiple
(you may run more than one)./upload-multiple
(you may run more than one)./offload-multiple
(you may run more than one, can work in tandem with upload-multiple
)Utility scripts:
will run du -hs
in all queuesThe packing script will use all your I/O capacity. Consider using nice
and ionice
to run in at a lower priority, so it doesn't hinder your incoming Rsync or outgoing curl uploads.
ionice -c 2 -n 6 nice -n 19 ./pack-multiple
The scripts are designed not to lose data. If a script dies, you can look in its working directory for in-progress items and move them back to the queue.
These scripts use Bash and Curl.
You should clone https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/megawarc to the megawarc/
subdirectory of these scripts. The megawarc utility requires Python and Gzip.

Business-to-business firms are those firms that sell products and services among themselves. The selling is done to a client of another company, who might use the product for intermediate purposes or so. The advertisements relating to B2B companies should not only generate interest but should also be simply out standing despite the tough competition. In the market, there are several firms who produce the same stuff and they reach out to clients with whom they want to do business. So finding the right client isn't a big deal, but actually getting hold of them is.
In written content, use the name of the company in the first sentence; preferably the first word. It is not pleasing to start with 'we'. Following it, give a brief introduction about the company. In today's busy world people don't have time to waste so deliver the message right away. Using catchy adjectives will do the trick. The sentence should be framed so that the client knows about the company, what it does and how it is unique from others. Pose questions before creating the writing material, like what is that the customer will expect and do they demand high quality. Don't hesitate to use 'you ' very often. The reader will feel that he is directly being referenced and it will be easier for him to relate to.
Play with customer's psychology. Understand the difficulties faced by them and then show them how the company or the company's product can solve them. Call of action can be given then and offer to clear their doubts. It should be more than just a helpline. The action should be really immediate. Simply don't let the client slip away.
After the initial writing, write in detail about the product or service provided. This is in-depth information for those concerned about your company's product. Point out the advantages of using them. Write them in a hierarchical form with numbering or bullets. If writing short paragraphs, strong sub-titles can be used as heading of individual paragraphs. Again, using adjectives will be good.
A good amount of entertainment factor should be added. This will retain the interest of the customer and will not distract him. But if lots of it is used, it will simply become shabby. It's a nice idea to use product noun as a verb along with other adjectives.
Submit website and advertisements to search engines. Millions of people use it every day to find what they need. If the website is search engine optimized, it will surely get lots of traffic. The name of the company and keywords should densely populate the website content. Make it a compulsion for the visitor to go through the advertisement before moving on to the registration or payment process. Some B2B websites don't allow adding an email address or URL in the advertisement. They can be tracked by actually spelling out dot or at in the email address or website link.
Once the customer is lured, they should be maintained. The product should be delivered on time. Quality should be maintained. Once it is done, not only will they start trusting the company but also at the same time they will spread the word about the company. They will advertise for free. Their experience with the company will motivate others to join the bandwagon.

This is what we did with our batch of sweetened condensed milk substitute (we used the Hillbilly Housewife's recipe, here, which makes the equivalent of two cans). The Apprentice made the Apricot Nuggets recipe, which came from Canadian Living Magazine but was based on an Australian recipe (I think they call it Apricot Slice). It sounds like cookies, but it's more like butterscotch candy.
No-Bake Apricot Nuggets
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup butter
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 tbsp. lemon juice
2 3/4 cups vanilla wafer crumbs (about 90 cookies, but we bought crumbs at the bulk store which was much cheaper than a box of cookies)
3/4 cup chopped dried apricots (we chopped them fairly small in the food processor)
3/4 dried cranberries (we bought these at the bulk store as well)
3/4 cup shredded coconut (divided)
Line a 9 by 13 inch metal cake pan with parchment paper; set aside.
In saucepan, stir together sugar, butter and milk over medium-low heat, stirring to prevent scorching, until butter is melted. Remove from heat; stir in lemon juice.
In bowl, combine wafer crumbs, apricots, cranberries, and ½ cup of the coconut; add butter mixture, stirring until combined. Press into prepared pan.
Sprinkle with remaining coconut; press gently. Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours. Cut into squares. Keep in the refrigerator, or you can freeze them for up to 1 month. Makes 40 squares.
(Canadian Living, December 2003)
Quick Fruit and Nut Fudge
1 lb. semisweet chocolate, chopped (from the bulk store, of course)
1 300-ml can sweetened condensed milk (or homemade equivalent)
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup dried cranberries or raisins or the rest of the apricots that you chopped for the Apricot Nuggets
1 cup chopped toasted pecans (optional)
In bowl over saucepan of hot (not boiling) water, melt chocolate with milk, stirring frequently until smooth. Stir in vanilla. Stir in fruit and nuts, if using.
Pour into foil-lined 8-inch square cake pan; smooth top. Chill for about 3 hours or until firm.
Turn out onto cutting board; peel off foil. Cut into squares. (Make-ahead: layer between waxed paper in airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.) Makes 64 pieces.

Looking for best ambulance service in Shahdra? Then look no further than Jyoti Ambulance Services. Seeing your loved ones in a medical emergency isn't something anyone wishes for. Life, however, is a playground full of ups and downs. No one wants to end up, witnessing an accident or unexpected break down due to an illness, but if you do - then - having a presence of mind and calling Ambulance Number in Shahdra right on time might help in reducing the impact of the injury and can even end up saving someone's life.
According to the latest survey, we live in an era where around 15% of accidental deaths in a year happen only due to the late arrival of an ambulance. Today, the ambulance is the most crucial component of an emergency medical service. Ambulances alone are responsible for providing the patient with the appropriate medical help at the earliest. Therefore, we at Jyoti Ambulance Services know that each day people are counting on us to provide them with best-in-the-class life-saving emergency Ambulance Service in Shahdra. We also know that you will trust us to move yourself or your loved one to the best available medical facilities.
We strongly believe when it comes to offering emergency ambulance services, we only have one chance to get it right. You can trust us when it comes to picking a patient from the scene of the accident to transporting a critical patient to the medical facility. Jyoti Ambulance Services strives to be the most trusted Ambulance Service in Shahdra.
It might come to you as a shock that that thousands of medical emergencies end up in a lives loss only because someone didn't call an ambulance number Shahdra on time. What might not make any sense to you but it's a general fact that there is a lack of awareness of Emergency Ambulance Number Shahdra and the affordability of ambulance services for the general public. One might argue that in the digital era one can simply Google the keyword ambulance service near me when needed, but there are emergencies where every second count and the only option is to dial the number to get an access of an ambulance service near me.
Likewise, affording an ambulance might not be a question for most, but it is equally important for the financially weaker section to get the ambulance services at their disposal. Anyone can dial Ambulance Number Shahdra from their phone without any prefix or suffix at the time of an emergency and will get the necessary ambulance assistance. The person calling for the ambulance will be then connected to the service provider, and they will make a note of the nature of the emergency, ask for the required information and will dispatch the appropriate ambulance service at the patient's point. The information asked by the receiver is necessary to make sure that the ambulance service reaches the patient on time.
• The location of the caller, to ascertain the accurate location.
• Type of emergency for which assistant is needed - pregnancy, cardiac arrest, accident, poisoning, etc.
• Generally in case of an accident, condition and number of people injured.
• Name and other contact details of the caller.
Generally, when accidents happen some bystanders are often the first ones to respond to such situations, even if you reached out for an ambulance service near me, your job is not over. The first aid and other help that you provide the patient before the ambulance arrives might increase the chances of saving his life.
Let's list down some useful tips that might come handy to save the life of an accident victim or a critically ill person -
It doesn't matter if you are the one who needs medical help or simply a bystander you must make sure that you never mix your general medicines with your first aid supplies. Plus, it is important for everyone to have at least a little training in first aid. When it comes to your own family make sure beforehand to tailor the content and the medicine of the kit. Also, periodically checking for expiry dates and restocking supplies as needed is important.
In case an emergency occurs, make sure that you check for the pulse of the patient or the victim first. Once you have confirmed it to be running, ideally check if there are any external bleeding signs. If the victim is profusely bleeding, call the Ambulance number Shahdra for ambulance services in Shahdra and put something on the wound to stop the bleeding.
Treat the patient with basic first aid care within the first few minutes of the accident. Make sure while treating the patient you remain calm and keep the patient relaxed at the same time. To reduce the chances of further damage and injury keep the patient or victim in a sleeping position. Also, make sure you don't offer any fluid to the victim in this position as the fluid might restrict breathing, enter the windpipe and cause suffocation. Also, it is never a good idea to bring the person back to consciousness by shaking or slapping.
Whether the emergency refers to a stroke, an accident, or any other serious situation, when it comes to saving a life, the importance of the first few minutes is beyond compare. Having said all this, it becomes absolutely important to call for an Ambulance Service in Shahdra immediately. So, in order to minimize injury and loss of life during calamities or accidents, Jyoti Ambulance Services is necessary ensuring that patients today have access to the best quality of emergency services and health care within their budget. People at Jyoti Ambulance Services are committed to equip the ambulances with the latest and the advanced equipment available in the market and make sure they are the first choice when emergency medical services.

HAVANA (AP) -- Google is opening a cutting-edge online technology center at the studio of one of Cuba's most famous artists, offering free Internet at speeds nearly 70 times faster than those now available to the Cuban public. President Barack Obama says Google's efforts in Cuba are part of a wider plan to improve access to the Internet across the island.
The U.S. technology giant has built a studio equipped with dozens of laptops, cellphones and virtual-reality goggles at the complex run by Alexis Leiva Machado, a sculptor known as Kcho. Obama said Sunday that Google was also launching a broader effort to improve Cubans' Internet access across the island.
The company gave no specifics, and Ben Rhodes, deputy national security adviser, said Monday that no further details would be announced during Obama's visit.
In an exclusive tour of the site with The Associated Press on Monday, Google's head of Cuba operations, Brett Perlmutter, said the company was optimistic that the Google+Kcho.Mor studio would be part of a broader cooperative effort to bring Internet access to the Cuban people.
"We want to show the world what happens when you combine Cuban creative energy with technology that's first in class," he said.
The studio will be open five days a week, from 7 a.m. to midnight, for about 40 people at a time, Kcho said.
The project has limited reach but enormous symbolic importance in a country that has long maintained strict control of Internet access, which some Cuban officials sees as a potential national security threat. Officials have described said the Internet as a potential tool for the United States to exert influence over the island's culture and politics.
The connection at the Kcho studio is provided by Cuba's state-run telecommunications company over a new fiber-optic connection and Obama's comments indicate the new Google-Cuba relationship was negotiated at the highest levels of the U.S. and Cuban governments.
Perlmutter declined to comment on any broader plans by the company, but said the Kcho center would feature upload and download speed of 70 megabytes per second. That is blazingly fast in comparison with the public WiFi available to most Cubans for $2, nearly a tenth of the average monthly salary, for an hour of access at roughly 1 megabyte per second.
Kcho said he was paying for the new connection himself but declined to say how much he was being charged.
Google has been trying for more than a year to improve Cuba's access to the Web with large-scale projects like those it has carried out in other developing countries. Kcho has long maintained close relationship with the Castro government and became the first independent source of free Internet in Cuba last year when he began offering free WiFi at his studio.
Soon after, the Cuban government announced that it was opening $2-an-hour WiFi spots across the country in a move that has dramatically increased Cubans' access to the Internet, allowing many to video-chat with families abroad and see relatives for the first time.
Cuba still has one of the world's lowest rates of Internet penetration.

Cranesville Block Co. fined by OSHA for safety and health hazards
ALBANY, N.Y. -- The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has proposed $45,500 in fines against Cranesville Block Co. for alleged repeat and serious violations of safety and health standards at its Kingston, N.Y., plant.
The citations and fines follow OSHA safety and health inspections prompted by employee complaints, and concern chemical and electrical hazards and lack of personal protective equipment for workers. Specifically, OSHA found blocked exits, workers lacking safety glasses and gloves while working with acid, unlabeled containers of hazardous chemicals, unmarked electrical equipment, exposed live electrical parts and moisture in electrical equipment.
"The serious and recurring nature of these hazards is disturbing," said Edward Jerome, OSHA's area director in Albany. "Employees at this plant are exposed to the hazards of electrocution, burns, eye and hand injuries, and being unable to swiftly exit the workplace in the event of a fire or other emergency. This employer must address these hazards effectively and continually now and in the future."
OSHA has issued the company two repeat citations, with $27,500 in fines, for the lack of personal protective equipment and the unlabeled containers of chemicals, as it had cited the company in 2009 for similar hazards at Cranesville Block's Fishkill and Glens Falls, N.Y., locations.
The remaining hazardous conditions identified in Kingston resulted in the issuance of six serious citations, with $18,000 in fines. OSHA issues serious citations when death or serious physical harm is likely to result from hazards about which the employer knew or should have known.
"One means of preventing recurring hazards is for employers to establish an effective comprehensive workplace safety and health program involving their workers in proactively evaluating, identifying and eliminating hazards," said Robert Kulick, OSHA's regional administrator in New York.
Cranesville Block has 15 business days from receipt of its citations and proposed penalties to comply, participate in an informal conference with OSHA's area director or contest the findings before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. The inspection was conducted by OSHA's Albany Area Office; telephone 518-464-4338.
Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing safe and healthful workplaces for their employees. OSHA's role is to assure these conditions for America's working men and women by setting and enforcing standards, and providing training, education and assistance.
