Here are the Executive Members, a dedicated group who keep the administrative nuts and bolts of the Society in place!
Barbara Jones – President & Members Only Screenings
Barbara Jones is a recent arrival in the Maleny area, having lived most of her life in Townsville and Brisbane, with shorter spells in Victoria, Canada, and the UK. She is a medical practitioner with a background in general practice and medical education. Along the way, she has held senior positions in the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, James Cook University, and on a number of State and National government and non-government Advisory Committees. While always interested in film, it was not until her arrival in the Hinterland that she had time to indulge this passion, and she is delighted to be able to be involved with the Maleny Film Society.
Pauline Davies – Secretary
I have been living in Maleny for about 37 years – just long enough to be called a local. A Teacher Librarian by profession, I left Brisbane with our family in search of an alternative lifestyle and had the good fortune to discover Maleny. Our alternative lifestyle was not to be and I returned to education managing a P-12 School Library in an independent college for the next 30 years. During that time, it gave me great satisfaction and enjoyment to instigate and run the college's "Arts on Twilight " annual arts festival. Moving from a school library into Maleny's iconic bookshop Rosetta Books, as the manager of the children's section, was a perfect way for me to continue my love affair with literature. My husband Clem and I have also run a successful photography business for the past 17 years. My association with the Maleny Film Society goes back a long way as a president, treasurer and a volunteer. I am a firm believer in the power of community, and value greatly organisations such as the Maleny Film Society for their ability to bind the community together.
Mary Meadows – Treasurer
Since moving to Maleny in 1993, I have been active in the Co-op movement, initially on the committee for Wastebusters, and then eight years as Secretary to the Maple Street Co-op. Apart from my day jobs, I was also involved with organic certification and on the committee for the Australian Herb Society and the Organic Growers of Australia until they merged with the Biological Farmers Assn two years ago.
My interest in the arts started in my teens when I dabbled with pottery to doing backstage work with Canberra Repertory to being in the Art and Craft business in Canberra. I volunteered my time as treasurer to Australian National Capital Artists. The committee of ANCA along with 50 artists brought about the construction of Artists studios for Industrial and Semi Industrial Artists. During my time in Canberra I was also on the Board of the ACT Crafts Council and worked with numerous others on the Capital Arts Patrons Organisation. I have had a bit of a break from committees until now, but look forward to being of benefit to the Maleny Film Society.
Andrew Wallace
Film Selection Sub-Committee & Vice President
Andrew Wallace moved to Maleny in 2013 after retiring from Central Queensland University where he was a senior lecturer based at the Gladstone campus. As well as his original field of literature, he taught in the areas of media and communication and visual cultural studies. He also directed many plays involving students and members of the local community. Andrew is enthusiastic about cinema, music, drama, poetry, graphic art and photography and looks forward to having more time to devote to practical engagement with all except the first two, having abandoned hope of ever mastering the blues harp. Andrew has developed an interest in the conditions that foster creative endeavour in communities and in cross-fertilisation between different art forms. Maleny seems a natural fit. Sometimes Andrew finds it hard to disagree with Paul Keating's dictum: "if you don't live in Sydney, you're camping out". But then again, he enjoys camping.
Peggy Hebblethwaite – Memberships
Peggy grew up in New Brunswick, Canada and on meeting and marrying her Australian husband David they moved to Victoria in 1973. After several moves within Australia, England and back to Canada, Peggy and David finally settled in Brisbane in 1985. Peggy worked for the Queensland Government for 25 years in various library and information management positions. Maleny was her weekend hangout during those years and now her home for the past 8 years. She has many interests including bushwalking, yoga, reading and film and has transformed her bare block into a lovely bush garden. With time on her hands she is enjoying getting involved with the Maleny community.
Other Committee Members
Rosemary Gould
Maleny has been my home since October 2006 after living in NSW and overseas for many years. My decision to join Maleny Film Society after moving here immediately enabled me to meet members of this wonderful community as well as to become a volunteer. This has been a very enjoyable experience over twelve years which has enhanced my love of movies and given me a satisfying way of helping MFS. As a trained primary school teacher, my career has taken me to many countries. I now work for The Sunshine Coast Council as a teacher in The Adult Literacy Program. I enjoy my garden, yoga, walking, the arts and travel as well as being with my family.
Michael Scott
Michael now lives in Montville having moved up from Buddina Beach near Point Cartwright on the coast 11 years ago. He was born and bred in Brisbane and, after many years of searching, he found his vocation as a teacher of History and English in his late twenties. He sees 1986 as a hinge year in his life for it was then that he secured a position at Immanuel Lutheran College in Maroochydore. From this point he found career fulfillment and a new home, a place to which he feels a deep connection – the Sunshine Coast. He is a keen native gardener and surfer and loves cycling, bushwalking and reading. Since retiring, Michael has become involved in volunteering at the Montville Market, Hinterland Bush Links, Barung Landcare, the Australian Republic Movement and, of course, the Maleny Film Society. After driving up from the coast one Saturday night in the early 1990s to see a film at the Maleny Community Centre, Michael discovered his perfect cinema experience: world movies with a great meal and a drink in convivial company – and not a bag of popcorn in sight. He was 'hooked' and now would like to play a part in perpetuating the great service that the Maleny Film Society provides for the hinterland.
Faith Baigent
Faith has a strong background in media communications and the not for profit sector. As communications coordinator for a leading Sydney fundraising organisation, Faith was responsible for successful media campaigns for clients that included five major Sydney hospitals, The Australian War Memorial and Sydney Botanic Gardens. Following a Tree-change to Maleny in 1993, Faith established the trail blazing Telecentre in the old Maleny Butter Factory. A Queensland first in telecommunications, giving the local community access to computer facilities and TAFE training courses. The centre merged into The Hinterland Business Centre providing assistance to emerging small businesses on the hinterland. For several years, Faith returned to Brisbane to the not-for-profit sector where she was responsible for running the state-wide SEAT program (Spinal Injuries Awareness team), to promote education awareness throughout Queensland schools. Purchasing The Hinterland Times in 2008, Faith and her late husband Michael Berry, reinvented a great independent monthly magazine which won numerous awards including; Best Newspaper in Country Queensland, finalists in the Sunshine Coast Business Awards and the Sunshine Coast Glossies. As a member and strong supporter of MFS for over 25 years, it was a pleasure to support the film society during our ownership of the paper, especially the wonderful Australian Film Festivals.
Bruce Zimmer
After growing up in Canada, I came to Australia to undertake postgraduate study. I've since spent more than 40 years in teaching, research and management roles in various universities and educational organisations across Australia, including several years as a volunteer tutor teaching migrant English and literacy. In 2014 I moved to the Maleny area to enjoy blissful active retirement. I've been enthralled by cinema since childhood and have long had an interest in film as a medium of communication and art form. Until recently, the ongoing demands of work, family responsibilities and community commitments made it impractical to actively pursue this interest. Luckily, moving to Maleny and joining the MFS has now given me the opportunity to take a more active involvement indulging in my life-long interest in cinema.

Riese, a seemingly random wanderer, is being hunted by a terrifying religious cult, The Sect. Traveling from nation to nation for years, she is accompanied only by a wolf, Fenrir. Together they must evade the assassins sent by the Sect - who'll stop at nothing to complete the task they failed to achieve many years ago. Her past is shrouded in mystery, as even Riese can't recall the events of the tragic night when her entire family was slaughtered and she was forced to flee into the wilderness. On her journey, she'll piece together her past, and her destiny, in a conflict that will hold the fate of the world in the balance - and the once peaceful kingdom of Eleysia will be the battlefield. "Riese", a unique and original steam-punk -inspired production includes Christine Chatelain ( SyFy's Sanctuary , Supernatural, The Collector, The L-Word ). Ben Cotton (Harper's Island, Stargate: Atlantis, Stan Helsing), Sharon Taylor (Stargate: Atlantis, Alice and Huck) and Patrick Gilmore (Stargate:... Written by Anonymous

As Warren Buffett has noted, "sure there is class war, and it is my class, the rich, who are making it and we are winning." One key measure of their victory is the growing disparities in wealth and income of the top one percent relative to everyone else.
Money, land, real estate and plant and equipment that are not being used productively are not capital. If the rate of return on the capital that is being used is high then this is because a part of capital is withdrawn from circulation and in effect goes on strike. Restricting the supply of capital to new investment (a phenomena we are now witnessing) ensures a high rate of return on that capital which is in circulation.

Christian Dating for Free Review
Christian Cafe Reviews
ChristianCafe.com is the largest Christian-owned and operated on-line dating service.

With several ways to browse personals and find Christian singles you may want to connect with, and with an easy and safe environment to start communicating, this site is ideal for any Christian new to on-line dating, and also for those who have tried other sites but still haven't met that special someone.

* 10 days if upload pictures to your profile.
Company Ownership
Based in Ontario, Canada, ChristianCafe.com is Christian-owned and Christian-operated. This is actually a rare thing…
You may be surprised to know that many of the other "Christian" dating sites are not Christian at all- they are secular dating sites, often run by non-Christians and some even make most of their money with adult-oriented sites, and have a "Christian" dating site simply to take money from Christians in the on-line dating market. (Please do not give your money to those types of companies!) But rest assured that Christian Café is a truly Christian company.
So in a world-wide-web with deceptive "Christian" dating sites, this site and company is refreshing to find. Sam, the founder and owner of Christian Cafe, is a strong Christian, and met his wife through on-line dating. The team at Christian Cafe believe in the mission of connecting Christians with other Christians, and the result is thousands of successful Christian marriages!
Tour (What to Expect in this christian cafe reviews)
The only restriction before starting is that you must be 18 or older, and of course you should be a Christian single- not a stated but an obvious pre-requisite.
First you will fill out your profile, which only takes a few minutes (much faster than eHarmony's in-depth profile). You will enter basic information, then answer multiple choice questions about your likes and dislikes, physical characteristics, etc. The last section has a few questions that you can write out a few sentences, which will help others understand you a bit more. Go ahead and fill this out up-front, but if you are impatient, you can come back later and complete this part or edit what you have written.
SAFETY TIP: do not use your last name as part of your User ID, since everyone can see your User ID, and you don't want to make too much personal information public on-line. Christian Café has a lot of good safety tips on the "Safety" page- a must-read for any new on-line daters.
Once you've completed the profile, you will receive your password via email, and you can log-in right away. Your free trial gives you access to the entire system, with the exception of the chat rooms (those are reserved for paid members only). So you can start browsing other profiles (sometimes called "personals" on other sites) as soon as you log-in. Christian Cafe is easy to use, but you might need a few pointers.
If you are comfortable doing so, we recommend adding your picture to your profile. You will be browsed and contacted more often, plus you get an extra 3 days added to your trial period.
There are 3 main ways we recommend to search for your perfect match- "Quickmatch", Search, and browsing the "Who's On". First, try the "Quickmatch"- this is a query that matches up your multiple-choice answers (location, denomination, etc.) to find singles of the opposite sex that match 80-100% with the responses you entered on your profile. This is not scientific like eHarmony, but definitely narrows the list down for you, and is a good place to start browsing profiles.
TIP: Mouse-over the small picture images to see a larger image, then click on the hyperlink to see the full profile.
Next, create a search yourself by clicking on the Search option. Here you decide what criteria to filter by, and a maximum of 300 profiles are displayed based on your criteria. If you choose a lot of criteria, be patient because it might take a minute or so before the results load into your browser.
We also liked browsing the "Who's On"- viewing the profiles of those who are on the site right then. This is particularly useful once if you want to send a message to someone right away, or if you are a paying member and can use the chat room.
You'll notice when you do this how many people world-wide use Christian Cafe. Just keep in mind if you start communicating with someone far away, are you really willing to travel to meet them if the relationship goes that far? Use extra care in conversing with anyone overseas, and use prayer, caution and wise counsel from others before agreeing to travel to meet anyone you meet on-line.
TIP: When viewing profiles, be sure to check the "Last On (EDT)" field, which is right under the person's birthday and region. This is the last time the person visited the site, and since ChristianCafe still displays inactive members, if the person hasn't been to the site in awhile (i.e., over a month), chances are they will not respond to your emails. So check this first before emailing them.
There are a lot of high-quality profiles of Christian singles- many more than you'll find on other sites. And since it is a Christian site (not a secular dating site with a Christian section), in general, most of the singles are more committed believers than on other sites.
Once you found someone you would be interested in talking to, you can add them to your "Friends List", and then use the built-in, internal e-mail system to contact them. Others might see your profile, and initiate an email to you. Don't worry- your email address is not given out since this all happens within the site. If things go bad with a conversation, no worries because you can also block a person from contacting you.
Check out the FAQ's page for more tips, training, and how-tos, and you'll be an expert in no time!
We suggest using the service a lot during your trial period, and post your picture to get an extra 3 days. Then by the end of the trial period, you will be ready to make an informed decision regarding continuing your membership as a paid member. Because of their price breaks, you save a lot by signing up for 3 months to a year.
TIP: If you sign up before your trial period ends, you will not lose your trial period days. Your paid time starts after your trial period.
Ask yourself how many possible soul mates you have met on the site. Do you meet more in a week on Christian Café than you do in a week of your daily life? If so, and if you like your experience so far, then save some money by signing up for 3 months or more. If you are still not sure, though, you can always just extend for another month.
What We Liked Most
Easy to use.
Christian founded, owned, and operated- a truly Christian site!
Good search tools, and internal email system (member-to-member only). Also, you can always block someone from sending you a message if they get annoying.
Lots of committed Christian singles in the U.S., Canada, and around the world.
Great no-hassle free trial.
What We Didn't Like
The site is easy to use, but the look and feel of the site needs to be updated. We spoke with ChristianCafe (7/06), and they are working on an updated look to the site right now and plan to launch that soon.
There is not much else not to like about this top-notch Christian dating site!
Conclusion on christian cafe reviews
If you are looking for an easy-to-use, no upfront hassle way to meet Christian singles, then Christian Cafe may just be the place you'll meet your soul mate! Unlike eHarmony, this is a "do-it-yourself" singles site, so be prepared to be active in searching and browsing profiles, and don't be shy if you see someone you might be interested in. Once you've check their "last on" date to see if they are active members, send them a message.
Use the 7-day free trial period to find out if the service is right for you, and upload your photo to get an extra 3 days.
Following recent christian cafe reviews, we discoverd that Finding the right person on-line doesn't happen overnight, so check back often to browse new members and check your messages. God willing, maybe one day soon you will be adding your "happily married" story to the Testimonies page!

The Ultimate Guide to List Building for Bloggers. Have you been struggling with list building?
Having a hard time growing your email list? Well, the saying is true, the money IS in the list.
Don't worry, this comprehensive guide will show you everything you need to succeed at building your list.
The Ultimate Guide to List Building for Bloggers
Growing your list has so many benefits including:
- Sharing a message with your audience
- Building a bond and creating a loyal readership
- Making money with your blog
- Driving traffic to a piece of content or a cause
- And, more!
Here's what you'll learn in our guide…
- Why You Need A List
- Autoresponder Providers Compared
- Different Ways To Send Email – Autoresponders, Broadcast, Blog Broadcast
- 3 Ways To Get Subscribers From Your Blog
- Building Your List With Social Media
- Building Your List With eBooks and Kindle Books
- Using Affiliates To Grow Your List
- Expand Your Reach By Leveraging Your Existing Subscribers
- Grow Your List Faster With An Ethical Bribe
- Test Your Opt-in Forms For Better Conversions
In this guide to email marketing, we will cover the basics that you should know. To learn more in-depth training on how to grow and monetize your list, enroll in the Email Marketing course:
Why You Need A List
Let's talk about list building, or more specifically why you need to build a list in the first place.
It doesn't matter what form your online presence takes – be it blogging, creating video content, running an online store or growing a social media presence – any online business can benefit from having a list and focusing on growing your subscriber base.
What makes email lists so special?
It gives you a chance to talk directly to your audience. You don't have to wait for them to come to your blog or login in to Instagram to see your content, your message, and your offers. Instead you get to go to them … their email inbox to be more specific.
While blog posts, videos, and social media posts lend themselves to talking to your entire audience at once, with email… even when you're writing an email to a larger list, allows you to talk to each reader individually.
While your blog posts for example are written to a whole segment of your audience, you can sound more personal and personable with your list.
Most importantly though, email marketing converts better than any other form of marketing and it's the main reason why all your other marketing efforts should focus on growing and expanding your list.
In other words, the list allows you to make a living from your online business. And it's also a safety net. Let me explain.
Things happen. Facebook decides to close down your account, your website may get hacked and a lot of the content lost, search engines may one day decide they no longer love you and stop sending you free traffic.
Murphy's Law holds true, even on the web…. Anything that can go wrong will eventually go wrong. But if you've focused on building a list, you always have a way to recover.
Plus you have a chance to get to know your readers better. You can build a relationship with them through the daily or weekly emails you send to them (as well as their replies).
You start to build trust with your audience. Why is that important?
Because once you have earned that trust, they will gladly take you up on the offers you sent them via email. And provided you treat your list well and share great stuff, it's sustainable. You can make offers for things they want and need over and over again.
Auto-Responder Providers Compared
If you have an online business or blog, you need an email list. And for that you need an autoresponder service.
This is a company that stores your readers email address and other pertinent information and allows you to send emails to your list. These can be weekly newsletter, frequent update emails, solo offers, or a series of autoresponder messages.
Let's look at a couple of different autoresponder providers and compare them. I hope this information will help you make an educated decision when it comes time to sign up.
All options we're discussing here are subscription services – meaning you'll pay them a monthly fee for their service, similar to your hosting fees. There is a second option – a self-hosted autoresponder, which I do not recommend you, try.
There are all sorts of technical and legal hot waters you can get yourself into by hosting your own autoresponder service.
Leave that to the guys that know what they are doing and sign up for a reputable Autoresponder provider. Here's a short list and comparison of a few of my favorites.
Aweber has been in the business of list building and providing autoresponder services for ages. They have a great reputation and work hard to ensure their emails are delivered to your reader's inboxes.
Over the years they've expanded and added a lot of features for list segmentation, testing and tracking, and list building templates. They offer a free trial if you want to check them out.
One of the big disadvantages of Aweber is that they charge you for duplicates (same people subscribed to multiple lists of yours) and unsubscribes unless you go in and manually delete them. Since pricing depends on your list size, this can quickly add up.
Mail chimp has long been the autoresponder darling of bloggers. It's easy to use, has a lot of functionality and some beautiful templates to make your newsletters and emails look just as pretty as your blog.
Like Aweber, you are charged for duplicate entries and unlike Aweber it is hard to segment your list and track to see what's working. If all you're worried about is one main list for your blog, Mail chimp is a great option for you.
If you want a little more functionality and data, and you want to be able to set up multiple opt-in forms then this may not be the right choice for you.
ConvertKit (my favorite!)
ConvertKit is the best email service provider, as it offers the best of both worlds. It's easy to use and has very pretty options like mail chimp, but with all the bells and whistles of Aweber.
And since it was developed by a professional blogger who was sure to include everything he'd want in an autoresponder service, this might work even better for you.
The only downside here is that the company is fairly new and still small. Let's hope they make it and stick around for decades to come.
Different Ways To Send Email – Autoresponders, Broadcast, Blog Broadcast
When it comes to email marketing, there are 3 basic ways to send email to your subscribers. They are a/r or autoresponder messages, broadcast emails, and blog broadcast messages.
Most popular autoresponder services allow you to set up and use all three with your lists. Let's take a look at each of these email types in turn as well as when and how you may want to use them.
Autoresponder Emails
Let's start with a/r emails. These are emails to go out to your readers in the order they signed up.
It's a little hard to grasp at first, but it's a very efficient way to email your list. Often the very first email you send to your subscribers is an autoresponder email.
I'm talking about the welcome email your readers receive in their inbox as soon as they sign up.
You usually thank them for subscribing in this message and if you offered a freebie for signing up, you deliver it in this email as well.
The autoresponder function allows you to schedule more emails to go out to your readers on a regular basis.
The big benefit of using this type of email is that you write them once, get them scheduled and you know that every single person that signs up for your list will see every one of these emails. This is perfect for evergreen content and offers.
Broadcast Emails
Broadcast emails, on the other hand, are more like the emails you send through your personal account. You send them today and whoever is on your list today will get the email. Someone signing up tomorrow or next week never sees this email.
It works very much like your Gmail account. The big difference is that you email hundreds or thousands of people at the same time.
This type of email is great if you send out a weekly or monthly newsletter and any content or offer that's time sensitive.
Blog Broadcast Emails
The last option is a blog broadcast. This is a pretty cool feature and an easy way to automate some of your email marketing if you're a blogger.
The autoresponder service generates and sends out an email as you blog. You can set it up to send out an email each time you publish a new blog post, or create an email every so often (once a week for example).
Ideally, you want to use all three types of emails on a regular basis. Mix and match them to get your email messages out in an effective way. Having options gives you leverage and it allows you to make the most from every email message you write.
3 Ways To Get Email Subscribers From Your Blog
Are you using your blog to build your list? If not, it's something you want to move to the top of your list of priorities. It's one of the most effective and most profitable things you can do for your online business.
There's a reason you keep hearing "the money is in the list". Here are three different things you can do to get subscribers from your blog.
Related: How to make money blogging
Opt-in Form In Your Sidebar
The first thing most of us will do is add an opt-in form to our blog that will show on every single page.
For most of us, that means posting a form in the sidebar. While this may not be the most efficient way to get subscribers, it's a great place to start.
Get it up there. It's something you only have to do once and it will work.
If you're ready to build your list faster, consider testing different locations, different headlines, different images, and different opt-in offers until you find one that converts well for you.
Pop Up Forms
Love them, or hate them… they work and they work well. If you're worried about annoying your loyal blog readers, set it up to only show up once every few weeks.
As with any other opt-in form, it helps to switch things up and see if you can get a better conversion rate with different copy or offers.
No matter how you personally feel about pop up opt-in forms, give them a try. You'll be pleasantly surprised how well they work and how fast your lists start to grow once you start using them.
Customized Opt-in Forms At The End Of Your Blog Posts
Last but not least let's talk about a slightly more advanced technique. This particular strategy for growing your list involves a little more work and it's not something you want to do every time, but it can be incredibly effective.
The idea is to have a blog post and then a related opt-in offer at the end. Let's say you're blogging about parenting and just wrote a blog post about different ways to motivate your child to use the potty. One of them is the use of a potty chart.
At the end of the post, you have an option offer where readers can sign up for more parenting tips from you and as a thanks for signing up they get a printable potty training chart.
In other words, either the copy of the opt-in form or the opt-in freebie is catered specifically to the content of the blog post.
Yes, this is a little more work and not something you will want to do for every single post. Instead, reserve this for your highest-traffic posts.
Building Your List With Social Media
Social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Periscope, Pinterest etc. are a great place to find your target audience and get in touch with them.
Often we focus on building engagement with readers there and then work on getting them back to our blog.
Social media sites however are also a great place to build your list. And with that it's easy to get back in touch with them even when your favorite social media site changes its algorithm and your audience suddenly no longer sees all your posts.
The benefits of focusing on building your list first on social media don't stop there. Growing your list and getting them on there first, then allows you to direct your readers wherever you want them to go.
Got a blog post that could use some comments, interaction and social media love?
Email a link to your blog post. Got a pin that could use an extra boost, send your readers there and encourage them to repin. Got a Facebook post that's on the verge of going viral? Email your list about it and ask them to like, comment and share.
Now let's talk about how you can go about growing your list from your social media activity.
The first thing you want to do is set up a dedicated opt-in page. It's a simple page on your blog or website that's set up with the sole purpose of convincing readers to sign up for your list.
If you want to get fancy, you could even set up a different opt-in page for each social media page and customize your content to those audiences.
But let's keep it simple for now and create just the one page you'll use everywhere.
Next log into your social media profiles and either add or replace your regular website url with the new opt-in page url.
That along will start to send a nice little stream of social media traffic to this page and grow your list. As readers check out your profile, the idea is that they click through to learn more about you and your blog and end up on your list.
Last but not least, make it a habit to regularly invite your social media followers to sign up for your list. Try various different approaches.
One week, you may highlight a particular benefit of being a list subscriber. The next, you may give them a glimpse at an email that will go out the following day, inviting them to sign up so they don't miss it.
Or offer them an exclusive coupon or offer that will go out to newsletter subscribers only.
Try a few different types of posts until you find what works well on each social media platform.
Building Your List With eBooks and Kindle Books
Let's talk about a fun and creative way to grow your list that's terribly underused. Do you sell or give away eBooks? They can be PDF documents or any other format you use.
How about Kindle books? Have you thought about writing and selling eBooks on Amazon? It doesn't really matter how or where you sell your electronic books, they are a perfect medium for growing your list.
This strategy works particularly well if you're selling at least some of your books to audiences outside of your own circle of influence. With Amazon Kindle that happens naturally as others discover your books and Amazon cranks up its marketing machine and recommends your book to readers with interest in similar books.
But it also happens when affiliates promote your other eBooks, or readers find them in popular marketplaces like Clickbank and JVZoo or via social media and search engines. Take advantage of any instance where your ebook (be it paid or free) reaches further than your blog or website.
Here's how you do it. Think of the topic of your book. Is there something else your readers would be interested in?
Even better, try to come up with complementary content that would make a good printable. For example, if you have a Kindle cookbook, offer printable versions of the recipes.
If you have written a how-to book, create a printable checklist or workbook that readers can use as they work through the book.
The idea is to entice the majority of your readers to click through, sign up for your list and download the printable. For that to happen, be sure to mention the offer for the extra content several times throughout your book.
For fiction books, you can go a few different routes depending on your genre and your book. Do you have a short story or novella written that gives further insight into one of your main characters?
Maybe it's a prequel, or a little side-story that didn't make it into the main book. Offer that as a free download for subscribers.
If your fiction world involves a large, sprawling family, make a pretty family tree graphic and offer it as a printable download.
If you've created a whole new world or a new vocabulary, create a printable map or a small dictionary of terms for your readers to get them on your list.
Get creative and come up with something fun or useful that will make them want to sign up. If nothing else, be sure to set up an opt-in page where readers can sign up to be notified of future book releases.
Using Affiliate Marketing To Grow Your List
Let's talk about growing your list with cookies. No I'm not talking about bribing your readers with cookies and milk. Instead we're talking about digital cookies and your affiliates will do the list building for you. This requires two things.
You need to have a paid product and an affiliate program set up for that product. Once you have those things in place, you're ready to use your affiliates to build your list.
I'm going to assume that you have your product and affiliate program in place and also have at least a few affiliates lined up to help you promote this and grow your list.
The list we are growing is a free list, unlike the customer list your affiliates already help you build.
Take a look at your product, or even your products. Then come up with a topic for a short report that's related to the topic of your product. Ideally this will be something that's one step before you get to your product. Let's run through a couple of examples, to give you a better idea of what I'm talking about here.
- You have a product about setting up a blog using WordPress. Your short report could be about registering a domain and setting up WordPress friendly hosting.
- You have a product about getting more traffic from Pinterest. Your short report could be about getting started with Pinterest, or how to read Pinterest Analytics Data.
- You have a product about Eating Paleo. Your short report could be about the dangers of consuming wheat and sugar.
- You have a product about paying off consumer debt. Your short report could be about budgeting your money.
You get the idea. Your free short report will focus on a topic or a piece of information your target audience needs before they need what you have to offer in your paid product.
And chances are you already covered a lot of this stuff on your blog or website.
Write the short report, grab some PLR and edit it, or compile a few of your blog posts into a report. Within that report you also want to promote your paid product.
Your next step is to set up an opt-in page where readers sign up with their email address and get the free report. It doesn't have to be long or complicated, but you need that page for this to work. Once you have it up and it's working, add a link to it in your affiliate area.
Email your affiliates and let them know what you've set up.
Share their affiliate link for this free report page with them and explain that while they won't get anything for the free signups, they will get a "cookie" and as soon as one of those subscribers buys your product, they get their affiliate commission.
Expand Your Reach By Leveraging Your Existing Subscribers
It's all about the list and much of your daily and weekly efforts when you're working online are spent on growing that list. There are all sorts of different ways to do this, but today I want to share something quick and easy with you that works very well. And that's to leverage your existing subscribers and get them to build your list for you.
Yes, you read that right. We're going to have our current subscribers recommend us to their circle of influence and expand our reach exponentially. The best part is that it's easy and something you can do regularly.
The most important thing for this to work is that you have to have a good relationship with your readers. Make sure you serve them well and treat them right.
Provide the content they are looking for and the content and tools they need (those aren't always the same) and help your readers reach their goals. This builds trust and it won't take you long before your readers turn into raving fans.
That's when it's time to start leveraging who they know. No matter what niche you're in and who your target market is, chances are good that your readers and subscribers know others who are interested in the same topics.
And since everyone uses email and social media these days, it's easy for them to spread the word for you. All you have to do is ask. I'm serious… that's all it takes.
In your emails, occasionally encourage your readers to either share this email with others who may benefit from it, or ask them to send potential subscribers to your blog or opt-in page to sign up.
If you're encouraging your readers to forward your email to someone else who may be interested in the content, make sure you also mention in the email how new readers can subscribe.
That's not a bad thing to have in there anyway, because people will occasionally forward your messages even without prompting.
By asking them to share though, you'll get much better results. Try a few different approaches. The "forward this email" one we already talked about is one option.
Another is to simply ask them to recommend you to their friends and have them send prospects to your opt-in page.
Last but not least, put part of your last email, a tip, or any other helpful advice into a Facebook post along with a link to your opt-in page.
Share the post with your readers and ask them to comment, like and most important share with their followers and friends. Do this periodically and your list will grow exponentially.
Grow Your List Faster With An Ethical Bribe
The money is in the list and that means the faster you can grow your list, the faster you'll grow your income.
But also your reach, your audience, and of course, the traffic to your blog for example. In other words, growing a list is important and growing it faster will help you get your blog and your business of the ground faster as well.
One of the best things you can do to grow your list faster is to offer them an "ethical bribe". I'm sure you've seen these.
They are often short reports, printables, spreadsheets or videos that website owners and bloggers offer for free when you sign up. You see them all the time and for good reason. They work like a charm.
And they are very easy to use. You need to decide what you want to give your readers in exchange for their email, put that in your opt-in page and mention it in your opt-in form on your site, and last but not least deliver it to your subscribers. Let's look at each of these three steps in a little more detail.
Create Your Ethical Bribe
Start by thinking about what your potential subscribers might want. Your most popular blog posts may give you some great ideas, as will an email questions you frequently receive. Pick a topic and then decide how you want to deliver the freebie.
Short reports are popular as are printable pdfs, but videos and audios are other options. If you have an online store, you could even offer an exclusive signup coupon.
Decide on your ethical bribe and then create it. Write it, turn it into a pdf, record a video and upload it. Do whatever you need to do to create your opt-in freebie and have it ready to go.
Advertise It On Your Opt-in Form and Page
Next, write some enticing copy that will get your visitors attention. You should tweak all your opt-in forms on your website along with any dedicated opt-in pages you have to reflect this new freebie. Take a look at what your competition is doing and how they are presenting their freebie.
Come up with a good headline and a good call to action. Visuals also help. If you are offering a free report or a printable for example, get a graphic for it that you can add to your newsletter signup boxes for example. Entice your readers to sign up for the freebie.
Upload and Deliver Your Bribe
Last but not least it's time to deliver the freebie. Upload it to your web server and then write or edit the welcome email that goes out to any new subscriber to include a link to the ethical bribe – whatever you decided to make it.
That's it, give this a try and see if you don't' start to grow your list faster.
Test Your Opt-in Forms For Better Conversions
We've talked about creating an ethical bribe to grow our lists faster in a previous post. Now let's take it a step further and build that list even faster by improving conversions.
When it comes to list building, there are two ways to grow your list faster. You can get more traffic to your site or you can improve your opt-in form.
Getting more traffic is a lot of work. It's much easier to test, tweak, and improve your opt-in conversion. And as an added bonus when you work on getting more traffic, your list will grow twice as fast.
Any good autoresponder service will make it easy to test different opt-in forms on your blog.
Dig around your dashboard, or talk to support to find out the technical how to. It's different for each provider, but usually pretty straight forward.
With that knowledge under your belt, you're ready to start testing. The idea is simply to make small changes in your opt-in form and then see what converts better. This is usually done via an A/B test. Here's how that works.
You start with your current opt-in form. Then you make a copy of it and you change one little thing – let's say you try a new headline so instead of "Sign Up For My Newsletter" you could try "Get My Best Tips and Ideas In Your Inbox" for example.
The testing software will then start rotating these two versions of the opt-in form and keep track of how many signups you get for each. After a while you'll be able to tell which one converts better. Keep that one and test something else. Keep going indefinitely or until you can't find any other ways to make your opt-in form convert any better.
Here are some things you may want to test on your opt-in form:
- Color
- Font
- Size
- How much information you ask for (first name and email, vs. just email for example)
- Headline and call to action copy
- Signup Button
- Size of your opt-in form
- Placement of your form (where it is on your website)
- Opt-in freebie offer (or ethical bribe)
- Graphics
- Include a note that you don't spam
- Include a note that it's easy to unsubscribe
This is by no means an all-inclusive list, but enough to get you started. Start testing anything you can think of and make it a game.
See if you can beat your last version. If you're brave and feeling adventurous, you could even test a completely different offer (new look, new freebie, new tone of voice) and see if your readers respond better to that.
Ultimate List Building & Email Marketing Guide For Bloggers – Final Thoughts
Testing doesn't take a lot of time, but if you can improve your opt-in rate from 10% to 20%, that means you're getting 10 extra subscribers for every 100 people you get to your website. That's a pretty big deal.
Hopefully, you found this list building guide helpful. To learn more about email marketing, including how to make money with your list, enroll in HerPaperRoute's Email Marketing Course.

The same very much goes for their delightful soundtrack albums, Obscured by Clouds and More, and to a (much) lesser extent Atom Heart Mother and even Meddle.
Which is a shame, since they both are worthwhile albums—especially Meddle, of course—even if Atom Heart's title track is the weakest song on that LP.
I'm not sure this is the strongest, but it surely is daggum purty. (Nearly as attractive as the record sleeve.) Roger Waters' writing isn't nearly as sophisticated as it would become just a few years later, and his singing verges on being a bit precious, but the music's just lovely, and the lyrics casually introduce, long before Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here or The Wall, the insidious way insanity can creep into one's brain. Shades of Syd and crazy diamonds.

You would never
know it but inside a non-descript Seafood restaurant on 15/501
at Cole Park Plaza is the most interesting and exiting collection
of fish (and some other critters) painted by Bynum's Clyde
Jones. The collection is owned by John Paliouris, owner of
the Captain John's Drydock and a big fan of Clydes. What makes a
trip to see the collection better than going to some gallery is
the fact that the food here is great with broiled and fried seafood,
Greek and Italian specials and fried sardines and anchovies. A much
better selection of wines than you will find in your run-of-the-mill
fish restaurant and probably better than the stuff they serve at
most art openings.

A new version of the Kindle e-book reader has been announced by Amazon. Having secured the publication of Stephen King's exclusive new work on the Kindle, this announcement has not come in more timely. A large clue has been dropped that the story will involve a Kindle-like device. This will surely provide fodder for critics of Stephen King as the whole thing drips commercialism and marketing gimmick. According to King's publisher, Scribner, the story will be published in printed form at a later date.
If nothing else, King should be lauded for venturing into the brave new world of electronic book publication, true to the imaginative and fearless spirit reflected in his books. Always having been more popular than classical art, the book in Kindle form may sell well for its mass appeal and crowd-pleaser effects.

Recently an "industry" friend contacted me and asked if I was at the same address. A copy of Bethenny Frankel's new book, Skinnydipping, had come across her desk and she wanted to send it to me. I hadn't planned on reading my personal hero's first venture into fiction. As much as I adore the energetic, endearingly foul mouthed, natural food chef, TV personality, liquor-shapewear-energy bar-anything she can attach her Skinnygirl logo to spark plug that is the current queen of female empowerment, I don't pretend to buy into everything she does. I was always the first to admit I never watched that silly ice skating show, sans for what parts of it ended up on Bethenny Ever After and now I will not shy away from acknowledging that I just didn't see Bethenny as a fiction writer. Even though I carry around A Place of Yes like it is a copy of the Holy Bible, a proven author of diet and motivational books does not a novelist make. However, this was a free copy of a hardcover book by a woman I admire so I was excited to receive Skinnydipping and dive in.
How pleasantly surprised I have been by the first 8 chapters. I think the book, from all of the RTs I've seen Bethenny's camp post on Twitter, is being very well received, and like her other books, it's already made the New York Time's bestseller list. Skinnydipping is, thus far, engagingly entertaining, but I wonder, how much of it is fiction? The main character, Faith Brightstone, has not only the same quick wit and sharp tongue as her creator, but if you've read A Place of Yes, many of the same experiences. It seems to me that Ms. Brightstone is really Ms. Frankel with initials reversed and name changed. Just like Bethenny, Faith has divorced dysfunctional parents, including a father who makes his living in horse racing just like the late Bobby Frankel. Frank Brightstone, like the man who obviously inspired him, lives in LA and has been estranged from his daughter for many years and again has those same initials, the exact ones of Bethenny and her biological father, only reversed.
So much of what I read about Bethenny in APoY is regurgitated in SD that I can only picture Bethenny when I read it, and hear her voice. Heck, isn't that her topless on the cover? It leaves little room for the reader's imagination. In an online interview with EW.com Bethenny was asked about all the parallels between her and Faith. She said that it was a "never told story." Hmmm interesting way to answer the question.
Whether a vaguely disguised memoir, or not, I am going to recommend Skinnydipping. Chances are you will enjoy it, especially if you are a Bethenny fan and you will probably be finished with it before I am since it's very hard to get through a book with a full time job and two very young children.
Speaking of changing names, did you catch RHOC's Heather Dubrow's awkward adventure at the DMV in last night's episode? Never have I seen anyone make such a HUGE deal of changing her name. After 12 years of marriage and 4 children, Heather Paige Kent, as it says on her IMDB (one of her greatest worries she explains to a friend during a lunch date) has decided to give her husband the ultimate gift by taking his last name. Sure, why not, they both already have everything that money can buy. A sweet and romantic gesture it was, but the way Heather discussed it ad nauseum like the seas would part and the planets would realign, tainted the entire notion for the viewer. I found her fear about her career name extra annoying since each time she mentioned being an "actress" finally led me to search for her on IMDB. I eventually found her under Heather Paige Kent, but got there via the name Dubrow because really, who honestly knew who she was before she became a Real Housewife? Her venture into the DMV to change her license further illustrated just how out of touch she is with the regular life of the average peon like me. She seemed to expect all the DMV staff to cater to her by laughing at her lame attempts at humor and pandering to her idea that this name change was the biggest deal in the universe. Listen lady, glad your life is so great that this was such an agonizing decision, but most of us have more serious things on our minds these days, like the recession.
Oh what I wouldn't do for luxury problems. Slade and Gretchen's therapy session got my sympathy vote and my attention Mrs. Paig-Kent-Dubrow. Take note.
**Correction** In the previous post I spelled Jacqueline Laurita's name as "Jaclyn." I apologize for the mistake.

Google first opened Google Maps to developers back in June 2005. The Maps APIs business had stayed the same since then, even though the mapping issues handled by implementing the APIs have grown increasingly sophisticated.
In 2018, Google launched an enormous revamp of its Google Maps business: The new Google Maps Platform promises streamlined API products, a simplified customer experience, a single pricing plan with pay-as-you-go billing, free support, a single console, and new industry solutions. However, you'll need a valid API key and a Google Cloud Platform billing account to access the core Google Maps APIs.
Google Maps System is meant to handle this for programmers by changing as their company gets larger (or their use surges). And naturally, Google's costs will grow at the same time.
The central Google Maps APIs make it easier for programmers to make location- centered applications and activities. This launch is supposed to help make the APIs less difficult, more straightforward to make use of, and scalable as your work expands. The adjustments are crafted to handle your accessible code – no adjustments are needed on the creator 's end.
Google has streamlined 18 distinct Google Maps APIs into three primary solutions, depending on what it thinks are the most common developer use instances: Maps, Routes, and Places. Here's the explanation of the three:
- Maps: Will help designers build tailored, agile events that deliver the real world to individuals by using dynamic and static maps, Street View images, and 360-degree views.
- Places: Can help individuals uncover the globe with rich area knowledge for more than a hundred million points, permitting them to locate certain destinations utilizing telephone numbers, street addresses, and real-time indicators.
- Routes: Offers your visitors the easiest way to go anywhere with outstanding guidance and current traffic reporting.
Google anticipates this collection will help to make it much easier to locate, research, and incorporate different maps features to web pages and applications.
The prior Google Maps business premium and standard plans have already been consolidated into one pay-as-you-go plan. Coders just pay for what they make use of, with Google promising no gross annual obligations, up-front commitments, termination costs, or consumption limitations. There exists a " free of charge tier" in the kind of a $200 regular credit for all programmers, which Google expects to cover the use of 98 percent of its existing customers.
The Google Maps System has also been included with the Google Cloud System Console, billing, and website. The target is to make it less complicated for coders to monitor usage, manage assignments, and of course "discover" other Cloud products.
All designers will now have access to on-line support 24 hours a day during the week, with Google committing to 1-hour results instances for important issues. Help and support won't be supplied on weekends.
Industry offerings
Google previously released the first such offering in mid-2018 – a gaming product that lets designers build large real-world games with Google Maps data. Two more products were also launched, one for ridesharing and one for asset tracking.
Google notes its applications that support non-profits, startup companies, crisis centers, and press agencies won't end up being impacted by the Google Maps System upgrades.
If your company relies on Google Maps APIs, you are going to need to look into Google's Guide for Existing Users. If you are just beginning, you should definitely be able to go with that $200 free regular monthly credit before initiating anything

I rented several of these over the years. The 3.6 V6 delivers great power and Mileage.. I drive a thousand miles a week and after 4 weeks I get better mileage than I did with a 2018 Kia Sportage which I only traded due to mileage on it. My situation changed and if I were to say anything negative is that 3 different Kia dealers wanted to put the wood to me The Chrysler is a great call I drove sedans for years. That fact that it is an older platform one which goes back to the Daimler days as the platform for the E series only strengthens the reliability. I wasn't afraid to buy one and I'd do it again.

The workforce on site is often fluid and flexible. Inefficient management could lead to a number of compliance complications
Mobile and transient workers are common place in construction and in many heavy industrial industries. Both workers and sites have the same challenges to be portable, consistent and auditable; however, this is not always achievable without technology.
There are several issues to consider when managing a workforce on site. Firstly – and quite remarkably – many construction companies are still using paper timesheets which makes managing and monitoring a transient workforce challenging, time-consuming and open to fraudulent activities. Without reliable visibility, contractor cannot categorically say who has been on their sites, when, for how long and whether they were qualified for the job they were doing. The risk about "blame claim" has become more prominent in recent years - paper records are easily lost and do not provide the needed security to protect against "blame claims" in the future.
Collating hundreds of timesheets from different sites in a timely way is a challenging process – it often involves the Monday morning "call around" where the site manager risks the head office with the timesheet information. How much time is wasted here?
Different workers have different worker requirements at different locations, such as site inductions, PPE, training certifications. There are also issues in managing sub-contractor staff. Workers who contract to several prime contractors may be able to overlap shifts. For example, a worker could contract to two different prime contractors and effectively work a shift for each within 24-hour period and this would go undetected by either prime contractor. Double shifting is a particularly important issue at peak times, such as Christmas and Easter, and keeping accurate records of certifications held by sub-contracted individuals can be a challenging process.
Transient workers often do not come into "head office" and therefore the site induction could also be part of a wider employment induction. It is a legal requirement that records are kept as part of this process – they need to be stored securely and easily located when needed. Without proper controls there is a big risk of a worker going to site without being site inducted.
Managing training certifications, from skills to validity and expiry, is difficult across multiple sites. Technology can help here in automating the process and running real-time checks at sign-in.
Workers may also be on different rates dependant on their geographic location which can be time consuming to control. Collating hundreds of timesheets from different sites in a timely way is a challenging process – it often involves the Monday morning "call around" where the site manager risks the head office with the timesheet information. How much time is wasted here?
In recent years we've seen greater market competition drive price and efficiency demands. Other market changes include a balance of power shift – the market of today is a worker's market and therefore the workforce is fluid, meaning more requirements for site inductions and security checks.
Likewise, a construction workforce has a higher proportion of employees who are not UK residents but able to work for defined periods of time that need to be managed and policed for ongoing legal status.
Despite these potential problems, technological advancements, such as the widespread adoption of connected devices through the Internet of Things (IoT), have changed society's view for on demand and real-time applications with self-service. There is a big focus on a "paperless workplace" which is a reduction in employees in disguise.
While having a standard clock-in system in place may mitigate against some of these potential complications, with such a plethora of issues to consider, effective management of a fluid working site is an absolute necessity, and there's only so far efficient paper records can take you.

By: Kelsey Graves, We Heart Parties
Summer is upon us, which means cookout season is finally here! Whether it's a small or large group, I love to call a bunch of friends, grab some delicious food, and throw a fun, outdoor get-together while we let the kids run wild in the backyard.
And trust me, I can eat traditional cookout food all day long (seriously – give me all the burgers and potato chips!). However, recently I've been trying to make healthier choices.
One of my favorite foods is a good chopped salad. I REALLY love everything to be chopped up into perfect, tiny bite-size pieces. So how nice are these portable and healthy cookout salad cups?
Chinet® Cut Crystal® 14 oz. cups make this simple side dish beautiful and elegant on a cookout table. No one has to juggle plates, salad tongs, dressing bottles, or clumsily scoop chopped salad off a plate. Simply grab a cup and walk around the party enjoying your delicious (and nutritious!) salad.
Any salad would work perfectly in these cookout cups, but I put all my favorite things into mine, and it was so yummy!
I tried this salad with both a honey Dijon dressing and ranch, and ranch won (shocker!). It's hard to beat ranch dressing at a cookout!
Depending on the crowd you are hosting, you could either dress the salad in the large bowl so that it is ready to eat, or put a few dressing options out for people to dress their own salad cups.
Divide the salad into Chinet Cut Crystal 14 oz. cups and stick a Chinet Cut Crystal fork in each one. I topped each salad cup with a little more shredded Parmesan for a nice presentation.
A simple way to elevate water at a cookout is to add crushed ice and fresh fruit to Chinet Cut Crystal stemless wineglasses. I often forget how delicious water is when it's been infused with fruit. My kids can't get enough fruit water when I put it out at a party. I added chopped strawberries and blueberries to mine, but ANY fruit combination works wonderfully and adds an unexpected surprise to your cookout.
Any good backyard BBQ needs plenty of napkins to clean up the fun. I like to display Chinet® Classic White™ All Occasion napkins and easy-to-grab cutlery in a cute utensil caddy. It makes for a nice presentation and keeps everything from blowing away.
At this summer cookout I served tortilla chips, spinach and artichoke dip, grilled chicken, on-the-go salad cups, fruit-infused water and chocolate chip cookies. Chinet Classic White dinner plates were durable enough to hold all the food and so easy to clean up! I'm so excited that cookout season is only just beginning. Bring on the BBQs!
For more entertaining ideas, check out this delicious Sparkling Rosé Cocktail recipe. Don't forget to share your summer BBQ get-togethers with us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram with #MyChinetParty.

Notes: To cut pumpkin into cubes, halve vertically and scrape out seeds. Cut halves into 1-inch-wide wedges. Peel each slice, then cut flesh into cubes.
How to Make It
Heat oil in a 5- to 6-quart pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add pork and stir frequently until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer pork to a plate. Add onion and garlic to pan; stir frequently until onion is limp, about 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a blender, whirl tomatillos and jalapeños until smooth.
Add 1 cup water, tomatillo mixture, pumpkin, beans, cumin, ground chilies, and salt. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes. Stir in pork. Cook, covered, until pork is no longer pink in the center (cut to test), 10 minutes longer. Add cilantro and lime juice.

19 Aug 2016 – Information seen by UK Shooting News suggests that the previously-reported Barclays Bank fishing exercise may have been carried out with a false identity.
Letters seen by UKSN show the same named person, who we will identify as "ER", being named as a 'manager' and as a 'central support assistant' – and the letters were sent from two different counties, about 50 miles apart, on the same day.
It appears that the bank has been using this ER identity to communicate with rifle clubs, demanding they hand over copies of firearm certificates – revealing not only the exact firearms and ammunition the club holds, but the holder's home address – and lists of club members.
NRA chief executive Andrew Mercer advised affected clubs to cooperate fully with Barclays and supply any information the bank asked for.
If ER does not exist and is just a generic name being used by the customer services department then the bank has, in effect, been carrying out a confidence trick on rifle clubs. Why lie about your own identity to one of your own customers when you are demanding they give you copies of very sensitive details about firearms and ammunition, and their owners, on pain of forced account closures?
UKSN's author urges members and officials of rifle clubs that have been contacted by Barclays to get in touch. The information I'm interested in is the name of the person who contacted your club, the dates on which they did so, the information they demanded and the address on the letter from the bank.
Please pass this post to anyone you think may be able to help me build up a picture of what's been going on here.

* FTSEurofirst index edges lower by midday
* Healthcare stocks top gainers for a second day
* Daimler, Skanska, Pearson go ex-dividend (ADVISORY- Reuters plans to replace intra-day European and UK stock market reports with a Live Markets blog on Eikon (see cpurl://apps.cp./cms/?pageId=livemarkets for site in development) (Adds details)
MILAN, April 7 (Reuters) - European equities edged lower by midday on Thursday, as gains in healthcare shares were eclipsed by some weaker stocks such as Daimler that traded without the attraction of their latest dividend payouts.
German carmaker Daimler fell more than 4 percent as its shares went ex-dividend. Among other companies losing the right to the next payout were Skanska, which fell 7 percent, making the stock the biggest faller on the FTSEurofirst, and Pearson, which slipped 5 percent.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 was down 0.27 percent by 1100 GMT, with investors reluctant to place strong bets. It was on track for its fourth straight week of losses.
"What markets really would need are more positive global economic data ... indicating a pick-up in economic activity, especially in the Eurozone and the U.S.," City of London Markets trader Markus Huber said.
European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said in the central bank's annual report on Thursday that the future of the global economy remained uncertain and there were questions about Europe's ability to weather new shocks.
Healthcare stocks were the top gainers for a second session, with the sector index rising 0.9 percent after the termination of the Pfizer-Allergan merger deal fueled talk of other consolidation activity in the sector.
Shire rose 1 percent after saying it expected its deal to buy American drugmaker Baxalta to proceed as expected, while elsewhere in the sector Roche also gained 1 percent and Astrazeneca advanced 1.4 percent.
Shares in STMicroelectronics gained 5.5 percent, the top gainer in the STOXX Europe 600 index, with some brokers linking the surge to the strong earnings update from its client Samsung, with the South Korean group flagging a 10 percent jump in quarterly profit.
The European technology index, up 0.3 percent, was the second-biggest sectoral gainer, with chipmakers ARM Holdings and ASML Holding gaining 1.9 percent and 1.4 percent respectively.
Wirecard rose 1 percent after the German payments processor reported a rise in full-year profit and proposed lifting its dividend.
Today's European research round-up:
ADVISORY- Reuters plans to replace intra-day European and UK stock market reports with a Live Markets blog on Eikon (see cpurl://apps.cp./cms/?pageId=livemarkets for site in development). In a real-time, multimedia format from 0600 London time through the 1630 closing bell, it will include the best of our market reporting, Stocks Buzz service, Eikon graphics, Reuters pictures, eye-catching research and market zeitgeist. Breaking news and dramatic market moves will continue to be alerted to all clients and we will continue to provide a short opening story and comprehensive closing reports.

It's that time of the year again when we take a deep dive into the potential 2020 Draft Class. This article, the 2020 NFL Draft Centers Top 10, will cover the best Centers looking to make an impact in the 2019 College season, before being drafted in 2020. So why wait? Let's do this thing!
Tyler Biadasz – Wisconsin
Hands down, Biadasz is the best Center in the nation and it's not even close. He never backs away from a challenge and handles most of them well.
He should've come out in 2019 but was reportedly told to stay in school another year. Whoever said this should be sacked. This guy is a powerful player who uses incredibly controlled hand placement to dominate the interior. He is a tough run blocker who helped to open holes for RB Jonathan Taylor who rushed for over 2,000 yards in 2018.
He blocks well on the move as well and is a handful in the 2nd level. Was named a unanimous first-team All-American in 2018
If you read my stuff last season, you would know how high I was on Garrett Bradbury, taken 18th overall by the Vikings in 2019, this guy is a better center. Selecting Biadasz in the 1st round will be the easiest decision made in the 2020 draft.
Jake Hanson – Oregon
Jake Hanson is a leader of men. When he doesn't play the Ducks suffer, it's not often this happens though. He made 34 straight starts before a targeting penalty made him miss the opening half of a game in 2018. He directs plays and players around the line. Has been called team captain on a few occasions. Shows great leverage and slides well to protect gaps in the line.
He is the guy you rely on to get the job done and assist those around him. Was better in 2017 over 2018, but not by much. He will bounce back in a big way in 2019.
Hasn't allowed a sack in three consecutive years.
Great player. Will be the second Center taken off the board after Biadasz.
Darryl Williams – Mississippi State
Williams is an animal on and off the field. He shows incredible strength and power in his leverage. Has a great anchor and excellent footwork. He has been one of the top interior linemen in the SEC since entering college. The Bulldogs ran the ball well in 2018 and Williams was a huge part of that. Expect him to move to Center now that Elgton Jenkins has moved on to the NFL.
Williams is a tough run blocker with a strong core and mental toughness. He doesn't mind doing the hard work to get the result for his team.
Was named to the 2019 Preseason All-American team. Will captain Mississippi State this year.
Solid player. The move to Center will be a step in the right direction. Look for him in the late 2nd round.
Frederick Mauigoa – Washington State
Mauigoa has been the starting Center for the past two seasons and has dominated in the role. He has great hand placement and strike timing. Works best against the run. Mental processing is great, you often see him calling out plays and changing what the line is looking at. The lower half is excellent, fluid hips and a good core help him to get a hold of his man.
He is a big boy, but he needs to get stronger and show more of a power player. Could do with some work on his snaps, they aren't always clean.
Polynesian College Player of the Year Watch List in 2018 and 2019.
Mauigoa is a work in progress, but he has all the right attributes to be successful in the NFL. Look for him in the 3rd round of the 2020 draft.
Nick Harris – Washington
Harris knows his role and sticks to it. He plays inside a box and is exceptional in that area. He is a powerful individual who plays to his strengths, uses his body well and will protect the QB at all costs. He is one of the best linemen in the class.
No one will ever doubt his effort. All-Pac-12 First Team in 2018.
He is shorter than most, therefore lacks length and can get pushed around at times. When striking, he gets too far forward and can be pouched to the ground. Is too aggressive in patches.
Still a fantastic prospect, but he may lose some clout in the NFL due to his smaller frame. Look for him in the late 2nd round, early 3rd.
Adam Holtorf – Kansas State
Holtorf isn't the best athlete, but he makes up for it 10-fold with his effort and footballing IQ. He has a powerful upper body and moves well to assist others in the line. He seals off running lanes like a pro and is rarely beaten. Hands are good, as is his blocking ability. He has translatable traits and will find a home in the NFL.
There is a lot to like about Holtorf, but there is also a lot not to like. If he can find some consistent form in 2019, he will be drafted in the 4th round.
Matt Hennessy – Temple
I really like Matt Hennessy; this guy will be a future NFL star. He is one of the toughest guys in the class and has an excellent football IQ to go with it. As a fourth year, he was tasked with the Center job and had two true freshmen in his line. Hennessy was the lynchpin in the lien and always helped the younger classmen. According to PFF data, he had the lowest rate of pressures allowed on a QB at just 0.6 percent. He allowed zero sacks and just two pressures in 329 pass blocks. This guy can ball.
He has good footwork, a strong presence in the line and violent hands.
Could be a bit stronger, but this will come with age and NFL experience.
This is going to be a big year for him. If he can replicate his form in 2019, he will be drafted late in the 2nd round.
Creed Humphrey - Oklahoma
Humphrey is incredibly advanced for a guy who was a first-year starter in 2018. He shows tremendous power and timing. He is a massive human at over 320 pounds and commands respect when facing him. Shows great footwork, mental processing and blocks like a veteran.
He is the only O-linemen returning in 2019 and will have a new QB to protect. This is going to be a huge year for him.
If he can show the same form with a whole new cast around him, he will be looked at in the 2nd round of the draft.
Zach Shackelford – Texas
A veteran of 40 games, with 27 starts, the man they call Shack is a leader of men in the Longhorns team. He executes well, slides nicely in the line and protects his QB. When Shack does his job, the team plays well around him. Quick feet and a good snap are the cornerstones of his game. He holds players at bay with a solid anchor, lower body strength and excellent hand placement.
This is the guy you want in your team. If he can stay healthy this offseason, he will challenge NFL teams to draft him in 2020. Look for him in the 3rd round.
T.J. McCoy – Louisville
McCoy is a journeyman who landed at N.C. State after High School, before transferring to Florida and will now spend 2019 will Louisville. He has shown plenty of promise in those times but has struggled with injury and personal issues. He can be one of the top 10 Centers in the league if he stays on the field. He is determined and athletic and can make a difference for the Cardinals this season.
With a big year, McCoy can be drafted in the top half. Look for him in the 4th round.
Honorable Mention
Trystan Colon-Castillo - Missouri
Kenny Cooper – Georgia Tech
Cohl Cabral – Arizona State
Nick Buchanan - Florida

What do you expect to see in the year 2030? Free broadband internet across the country? Democrats and Republicans agreeing? Vacation homes on the moon? Or how about finally getting that damn hover board we were shown in Back to the Future Part II? Well hate to burst your bubble, but those probably aren't going to happen. What will, however, is that more than half of Americans could be obese.
Now before you accuse me of picking on fat people just because they're fat, I want to assure you that is not the case. In fact, I am writing this post purely from a medical perspective. If you can be 300+ lbs and NOT suffer from diabetes, coronary artery disease, arthritis, pulmonary disease, strokes, high cholesterol (see what I'm getting at?), then more power to you. But for the rest of humanity that is just not the case. We all remember the commercials stating that marijuana is a gateway drug, right? Well, look at obesity as a gateway disease. The medical problems I listed above (and much more) are all associated with obesity. If we continue on the path that we're on right now it can cost the United States approximately $66 billion in treatment and over $500 billion in lost economic productivity.
I understand not everybody can obtain an ideal BMI, nor do I expect everyone to achieve this. Although ideal, it is just that, ideal. Life isn't a textbook and there will be obvious variations. The thing that bothers me the most are obese people who are complacent with their weight. Self confidence is a wonderful thing and I believe everyone should have a high sense of self-esteem, but don't confuse that for delirium. If you honestly think that you look good and you're healthy at 5'4″ 350 lbs, I hate to be the break it to you but you're no better than an alcoholic denying that he has a drinking problem. You have to at least make an effort to live a healthier lifestyle and if you stick with it, I guarantee you will begin to see results.
One of the things that bothers me the most as a physician is seeing other medical professionals (doctors, nurses, PAs) tell a patient that they have to lose weight when they themselves are overweight and are not trying to lose weight. I always ask myself, how can you expect your patient to seriously take your advice, if you aren't? It's akin to the ungodly Tartuffery exhibited by false prophets in some churches. The apocryphal excuse of "I don't have time," or "I'm too busy" isn't good enough. You don't need to spend hours in a gym. In fact, you don't even need a gym at all. 15 minutes a day of high intensity exercises (fast jogging in place, jump squats, push ups, mountain climbers, etc) and a consistent healthy diet is more than enough. Now yes, as a physician I completely understand that there are instances when you are short on time, feeling a tad hypoglycemic and have to eat something; and the easiest thing is fast food, but that is not all the time. And when you do get fast food you don't have to super size it, load it with salt, mayo, and order a soda (diet or regular). I have seen other portly physicians order a large value meal from McDonald's, regularly, and then talk about how a patient is obese. Seriously? That's like a prostitute judging a porn star's salacious activities.
Here's the funny thing about American obesity. What do you think America is doing about it? If you say promoting unhealthy lifestyle choices, then you are absolutely correct. Take the recent Olympics. How many times did you see a commercial for Coca-Cola, McDonald's, or similar business portray an Olympic athlete guzzling down a Coke after a grueling workout? How often do we see images of picture perfect models eating at McDonald's? These businesses aren't stupid, but they are counting on the majority of the American public to not think for themselves. If they showed how the vast majority of patrons of fast food chains look, they will begin to lose business. Subconsciously, the public sees these images and think "So and so is a professional athlete, in great shape, and eats at McDonald's, so I can too!" To make matters worse, as mentioned in my previous post about Michael Clarke Duncan, African Americans are predisposed to a lot of chronic medical problems. The ones who suffer the most are uninsured, have low income, and live in the inner city. Now I implore you, if you haven't, take a look at the food choices available to these people. Most of these people have to take public transportation and the majority of restaurants in their vicinity are of the fast food variety. If they are able to get somewhere that has healthier food choices, another barrier is presented in the form of cost. Healthier food options are notoriously more expensive than their unhealthier counterparts. Why is it that you can get nearly a gallon of soda for mere pocket change, but a bottle of water can run you $3?
In short, let's be more proactive about maintaining a healthy weight, in ourselves and our loved ones. Don't discourage anyone trying to better themselves. What sense does it make to deride an obese individual going for a walk on the track, struggling at the gym, or choosing to eat a salad? Most people are conscious about how they look and putting down a person attempting to improve their lifestyle is utterly insane and ultimately drives that person right back to unhealthy habits. I encourage my patients and congratulate them all the time even if they lose a couple of pounds. If they are moving in the right direction, then they will eventually achieve their goals, but everyone could use positive reinforcement to continue to push forward.

Choosing the Right Air Compressor
With so many options, sizes, and designs, it can be difficult to decide what air compressor is right for your needs. At Atlas Copco, we understand the struggle, and we are here to help. There are a few simple guidelines to follow and general questions to ask yourself when choosing the right compressor. Below you will find some helpful information that can take you through the process so that you have the perfect air compressor that fits your needs.
1. How are you using the compressor?
Depending on the work you do and the daily total amount of time you'll be using your compressor, you'll need a compressor that fits your workload. Are you using your air powered tools and equipment for just a few hours or are you powering them almost constantly until day's end? Choose a compressor that will match your duty cycle to supply the correct amount of pressure throughout the day.
A piston compressor is excellent for intermittent work such as an automotive garage where a worker may be using air tools for just part of the day. In this application a rotary screw compressor would be too large and not the optimal choice.
Rotary screw type compressors are better suited for applications with higher demand so that they can run continuously.
2. Where will you place the compressor?
Air compressors require the right airflow in order to ensure proper cooling. Compressors cannot be placed in tightly enclosed spaces as this reduces the airflow and results in overheating issues and premature failure. Always design your compressor room with airflow in mind so that cool air can be drawn into the compressor and hot air expelled out of the room. Decide on the open space available to match compressor size and type.
If the compressor is outside, you'll need to think about proper shelter or housing for the unit, since potential weather conditions might cause freezing or water damage.
Depending on where the compressor will be located, you may also need to consider the sound rating. Working in a loud environment for long periods of time, can be a health and safety risk for workers. Noise levels of compressors today can range from 40 to 92 decibels. Typically, rotary screw compressors are much quieter than piston air compressors.
3. What are your pressure requirements?
To know how many pounds per square inch (psi) of pressure you'll need, determine the psi requirements of your biggest air powered tools or equipment. Something like a tire changer may take 150 psi, while hand tools could only require 90-100 psi. You will need a compressor that delivers pressure to match the largest demand. Equipment with higher psi needs may require a two-stage or multi-stage compressor to boost psi output.
Use regulators to lower the air pressure to those tools that do not require higher pressure. Using too high of a pressure when not required will damage tools and waste electricity.
4. What is your required air flow?
Free Air Delivered (FAD) is generally measured in cubic feet per minute (cfm). This is the amount of air flow the compressor can generate at any given time. It can be expressed through piston displacement (PD) or in actual cubic feet per minute (acfm). When choosing a compressor, make sure you are seeing the acfm measurement as this is the total amount of air available to do work. Most tools or pieces of machinery will have their cfm requirements specified, so use this information to properly size your compressor.
5. How much horsepower do you need?
The horsepower of a motor is more or less proportional to the cfm the compressor is capable of producing. Generally, the higher the horsepower, the more cfm it can put out. However, horsepower is not a good indication of your requirements. Your psi and cfm needs should be the main deciding factor as to which compressor is right for you. As technology improves, compressor companies have engineered ways to get more cfm per horsepower. If you are upgrading to a newer compressor, you may actually be able to buy a smaller horsepower compressor and save yourself money both on the purchase and every month afterwards with lower electricity bills.
6. How big should your tank be?
Tank size determines how much pressurized air is at the ready at all times. Larger tanks require the compressor to run less to meet the minimum pressure needed in the system. Smaller tanks will run more as air is used to replenish the amount of pressurized air available.
Tanks can be vertical or horizontal. This doesn't affect the capabilities of the air compressor, but will affect the amount of physical space they take up. Vertical tanks are preferred in smaller spaces, while horizontal tank compressors are generally fitted to larger horsepower compressors.
A rule of thumb is that for fixed speed rotary screw compressors, you should purchase 4 gallons of tank per cfm of air produced by the compressor and 1 gallon per cfm for VSD compressors. For piston compressors, larger tanks will allow the compressor to cycle less often. A larger tank is not a replacement for a larger compressor so if you find your piston compressor running more than 60% of the time, it's time to start looking into upgrading it.
7. What additional features should you think about?
Compressors come with a wide range of optional features to fit requirements that are more demanding. Some options to think about include heavy duty drive-trains, better cooling capacity, oil free or oil less air, pre-filters for air intake, variable speed drive motors, multi-stage compression, stainless steel or cast iron construction, high ambient temperature variants, and many more. Discussing your specific needs with a sales representative will provide a better idea of the options that are right for you.
8. What are the compressor's electrical requirements?
In order to ensure the air compressor will run properly after installation, you need to make sure the power available where it is used matches the power requirements of the machine. The standard residential electrical voltage is 110v single phase. In most cases, 110v will only power a compressor up to 3 horsepower. 230v single phase is commonly used for compressors up to 5 horsepower. It is also important to understand residential and light industrial is generally limited to single phase power. In the United States the power available is typically available only in 60hz and written in the (voltage/phase/frequency) nomenclature:
Single Phase
Three Phase
We recommended having a professional electrician determine electrical requirements before purchasing and installing an air compressor.

Bike Suspension Part III: Upgrading Your Front Suspension
Upgrading Your Front Suspension
Bike Suspension Part Three
If your current front suspension needs replacing due to non-serviceable wear or damage, you need to know these 4 specs to upgrading your front suspension in order to replace it properly:
- Axle compatibility: Does your front wheel have a standard 9mm quick-release? Or a 15mm or 20mm through axle? Choose the correct axle dropout size for your wheel.
- Travel: Many bike frames are designed to work with a suspension fork featuring a specific amount of travel. The amount of travel will change the handling characteristics of the bike. An older mountain bike may have an 80mm fork, which is hard to find now. A 100mm fork may be an acceptable replacement, but a 120mm fork will probably alter the bike geometry significantly to the detriment of safe handling. In addition, some fully rigid bikes come with the correct frame geometry angle to upgrade to a suspension fork. Always check with your bike manufacturer for replacement fork recommendations.
- Steerer tube: A standard steerer tube (see components diagram, below) is straight with a 1-1/8" diameter. Very old bikes may have a 1" diameter tube; newer bikes, especially upmarket mountain bikes, most likely have a tapered or oversized steerer tube. Make sure your new fork has a compatible steerer tube.
- Brake type: Most mountain bikes now have disc brakes. If you want to replace a fork that has rim brake mounts, your choices will be limited to some very basic suspension models unless you upgrade your wheel and brakes as well.

Taquito Filled Sandwiches Wednesday, January 09, 2013, 07:23 PM
I made this for lunch tomorrow. I basically took shredded chicken, with caramelized onions, poblano peppers and spinach. I again tried the fast caramelization but with a tiny bit of baking soda. It worked better this time. I also added laughing cow cheese. Basically, I made taquito filling but I used it on a sandwich. I also had a bit of extra.
I haven't tried the sandwiches, but the filling was very good.
