A few months ago Google has added a new ranking signal in its search algorithm and this new ranking signal is https or SSL. Now, this ranking signal will impact on 1% of global searches but Google says it is also an important ranking factor.
So if your blogger or a website owner then it is important for you that you need to migrate your website from HTTP to https. So this will not only improve the security of your website but also it will improve your SEO ranking because it plays an important role in SEO.
Actually now Google is moving everyone towards most secure web and also it is one of the main objective of Google in the last few years. In 2014 almost every webmaster have doubts whether moving to https will be good for their website or not but if we talk about 2017 then it is must for you if you are a Webmaster.
It is important for you to transfer your website from HTTP to https because https is the more secure version of HTTP. as it is secure so that's why it is used in E-Commerce transactions such as online shopping, online banking sites, email applications, social media platforms and e-commerce checkout areas.
What is https?
Https is a more secure version of HTTP with an extra "S" which stands for secure. Https is based on URI Scheme which is similar to the standard HTTP scheme.
However, on the other hand, https encourage the browser to use added encryption SSL layer for the purpose of protecting the traffic. While SSL defines how connections are encrypted with the help of https.
How to move your website from HTTP to https?
If you want to secure your website and also you want to increase its ranking and search visibility then you need to transfer it from HTTP to https.
So if you do not know how to do this then read this whole article because it will help you what in moving a website from HTTP to https. So follow the tips which are given below.
Get Ready
Before buying SSL certificate and moving your website from HTTP to https it is very important for you to consider following things.
Are sales ready?
For example, if you run an E-commerce website and there is a sale going on your website then do not switch to https when there are a lot of visitors on your website. So you need to find out the downtime when traffic is low on your website. This is the best time for switching to https.
Web hosting?
Before spending money on SSL, first of all, make sure that your web hosting is compatible with SSL or not. You have to do some extra configuration for some hosts.
Are you ready?
Switching from HTTP to https process takes time and efforts at once. Once you have started this process of setting up redirects and switching link then it might be very difficult for you to reverse this whole process. So get ready for this huge task. So first monitor your website and start this process when you are ready.
Purchase an SSL
The next thing that you need to do is purchase an SSL. There are different web hosting companies who sell SSL certificates and they also do most of the configuration for you. You can buy SSL certificates from companies such as SSL2BUY at the cheapest price.
Domain validation
This SSL certificate is issued within minutes and you can use it for single or subdomain. You can buy this certificate just for $9 a year.
Business validation
This SSL certificate is issued within 3 days and it provides a higher level of security as compared to its basic type. This certificate is best for business organization websites.
Extended validation
This is the most expensive SSL certificate and it is issued within 7 days. This provides you a higher level of security as compared to business validation. This is one of the best SSL for banking websites and e-commerce websites.
Configuring hosting with SSL certificate
If your web hosting company does not configure SSL certificate for you. In such a case you need to get keys from the seller website and paste them into your web hosting control panel. Do it very carefully and in case of any issue, you can ask your hosting company for support.
Once your website pages are properly configured then you will not see the warning regarding invalid certificates when you visit https pages of your website. You need to clear your browser cache to see the changes or you can also use private browsing Window for this purpose.
Change all links to https
First of all, you need to find out all the links which are generated by CMS. This includes links to images, pages, CDN or anything else that your website will use.
Here you need to change the parts of the links such as if the path is HTTP then you need to change it with https. Refresh a web page and then see why do the links that you have changed to https all working or not. You need to test your website to make sure that all links are working properly.
Use 301 redirects
First, it is very important for you before using 301 redirects that you have install SSL certificate on your server and if you're using WordPress then you have to change the WordPress URL to https.
This is not the end of the whole process. If you want to gain more advantage from SSI and you need to use 301 redirects for the purpose of redirecting HTTP request to https request. In other words, it is important for you that to check that URL of all your website pages start with https, not with HTTP.
How Technical Ustad move website from HTTP to HTTPS
Our Website is hosted on Hostgator and we purchased the shared SSL with them after we installed "Really Simple SSL" plugin and that plugin did everything for us, without any change.
and we are using MAXCDN for CDN so we did the following changes in CDN Pull Zone, select your Zone and Click on the "Manage" and select the "SSL" option
and enable the "SSL" under Shared SSL option.

Micro-Influencers: why are they so effective?
28 Oct 2019
We're sure that you all are well acquainted with the term and strategy that is "Influencer Marketing". In the age where social media has become a rather profitable landscape for people to "share" just about anything, from your daily updates to detailed reviews of a certain product or brand, it is nearly impossible for brands and institutions to not work with a few Influencers by now. Now, we get that you probably already know all you need to about Influencers, but have you heard of the term Micro Influencers?
Micro-influencers are basically individuals that have between 1,000 to 10.000 followers or possibly up to 100.000. So, by Micro we don't actually mean small, as in a small number of followers or even engagements. Despite the number of followers compared to big Instagram celebrities or celebrities in general, these influencers are no less effective and are still fully capable of boosting your brand or product's popularity on social. More often then not, micro influencers are considered experts in their respective niche, considering that they cater to a more specific scope of audience.
They could be a food blogger, traveller, a local fashionista, or a fitness guru - just to name a few. These smaller, more focused experts connect on a deeper level with their audiences which makes sense why they can even generate better engagement. How is this possible? Well, our Influencer tool shows a comparison between a celebrity or more specifically an actress and a travel blogger. Can you see the difference in engagement rates? Well, that's due to the higher number of engagements of the said travel blogger. Specific Influencers with a niche audience of their own tend to do better on social and in terms of ROI simply because their base of following consist of people who are actually interested in their posts and the specific interest. In the case of kadekarini, the travel blogger, the people following her would most likely be travel enthusiasts, jet-setters, or perhaps even travellers themselves too. Either way, her specific interest and posts are catered to people of the similar interest and those who like or prefer her style of photography or content or even wordings on her captions, which seems to be the case for local beauty influencer joviadhiguna, this beauty guru is often deemed as a "cult favorite" in the beauty world that a huge part of the appeal is the wordings chosen for the influencer's posts which really shows jovi's charismatic and fun character.
Another reason why micro influencers are doing so well in terms of numbers, is simply because these Influencers solely rely and are committed to social. In a sense, they tend to make themselves more available on their social platforms to engage with their followers. They tend to engage with their peers or followers more often than big celebrities in general.
It just makes sense, doesn't it? a smaller audience means much more hands-on, personal interaction and we all know that's marketing gold these days, and with a smaller number of followers, micro-influencers followings tend to see themselves as peers of the influencer rather than fans. In fact, a survey conducted by Social Media Today shows that 70% of millennial consumers are influenced by the recommendations of their peers in buying decisions. This means if brands are able to hire the right influencers in which their millennial audiences are able to trust and view as peers, the value and impact of the good ol' peer to peer marketing strategy will play a huge role in the purchase of their products, services or even just to boost up campaign engagements.
As social media marketing is constantly changing and evolving, we believe that the Influencer Marketing dynamics are also shifting. With the constant search of authenticity and personal connection in a platform filled with various content where the numbers of influencers are always growing, the search for niche influencers are increasing.
So, what about ROI? Are Micro-Influencers really more affective when it comes to this particular aspect of your marketing strategies?
Well, Buffer reported that according to Edelman, 58% of people have actually purchased a product because of an influencer recommendation. Also, a new survey from Uproar PR found that 71% of consumers prefer micro-influencers, and two-thirds of consumers report making purchases based on their posts. So, based on the numbers alone, it seems though Micro-Influencers seem to be more effective in convincing the social audience. The survey also asked respondents about the qualities that encouraged them to purchase a product recommended by an influencer, and 71% said it was important to have shared interests. Discount codes came second, with 61%, and authenticity ranked third, at 59%. Now, considering authenticity and specific interest seem to be the key to these niche influencers, make sure you are approaching and working with the right influencer to promote your brand, product or services. After all, the most important quality for a potential influencer partnership is shared interests with your target audience.

The Defector As Metaphor By Ekong Sampson
There is, unarguably, now, a hybrid of opinion about the high drama that follows defections in the Nigerian political space. The Nigerian politician has, somehow, succeeded in portraying himself in many colours. He comes across, in one, as the consummate folk-hero – elaborately draped in altruistic attire; one who wants to serve based on larger considerations. His people love him, and it is evident that in the fluid tapestry that the polity presents, wherever he goes, they will go with him. He has been standing by them, in thick and thin. They trust him. He lives for them, not for himself. Many are they who will still follow him, even if blind-folded. A man of the people.
In the other mosaic, more poignantly advertised, the Nigerian politician presents himself as nothing more than a bare-faced opportunist and hypocrite, decidedly contemptuous of principle and ideology; chameleonic, greedy, shameless. In between the two, are variants that defy valid location.
Almost daily, the Nigerian landscape is lit with news of defection of gladiators and featherweights. At the National Assembly the event is almost becoming a boring ritual. The lawmaker announces that he is defecting because of the "division" in his party or based on "overwhelming pressure from my people". Some of them even go ahead to mouth less charitable mantra against the very vehicle they boarded to access the power valve. The Senate President, or Speaker, then makes some barely audible remarks about constitutionalism and parliamentary procedure. Trust our penchant for the theatrical. The decampee's new partymen and women, burst into Etighi dance and back-slapping. The serene floor comes alive, buoyed up by a feeling of the redemptive spirit.
You may say it is the seed planted in the 50s in the Western Regional legislature by some great Nigerians that is in full sprout. You may also be a big believer in freedom of association and access to opportunity, whatever the vehicle. What you cannot readily resolve is how policy drives politics in this country.
In the United States, from where we copied our model of democracy, you can locate republicans and democrats, however inclement their weather is at a given period. In Nigeria our leading lights are identified among the fair-weather elite. They tread the path of convenience and consult only themselves, not their supporters, much of the time. It makes no sense to such politicians that poor response to ideological underpinnings puts pressure on democracy. It was actually the fear of the narrow path that took many of them into the Peoples Democratic Party, up to its apotheosis. But even the ruling All Progressives Congress should be wise enough to warn itself. APC's internal contradictions are so intense that to measure its strength on the basis of defections to its fold is to celebrate standing on false earth. The entrants actually belong to no party. Their ideological weaknesses should explain why the Peoples Democratic Party defeated itself.
But there is a life-line. As our players keep changing positions, the evil of – a one-party scenario is still not lost on our remaining patriots – as decimated as that esteemed tribe might be in a land where so many are being unmasked in the market-place as hollow ideologues and ethnic prophets. It is a tribe that believes that policy must drive politics, not vice-versa. It is a tribe that looks at the larger democracy picture, never minding the narrow path, and lives forever.

Dearest South African filmmakers, this is a goodbye. It's been 14 years that I created filmcontact, my reason was after I came back from Hollywood for 8 years (with over 20 years filmmaking worldwide), the crews in SA on set was still the same.
I built the site and social networks so everyone could be on the same page, what the industry was doing, but most of all the reason was to educate young filmmakers how the system worked, everybody to have access which did not exist before.
Building the marketing of our film industry brought in massive awareness of us a filmmaking destination and no doubt a huge income to our country. I never received government support, or got involved with film industry associations, totally independent and conveyed the truth. Hardly more than R3000 per month and had to do many other jobs to keep it going all these years.
After being mugged 6 times in the past year, once you can call it attempted murder, I have decided to leave SA.
My heart belongs to our Continent, and thank you to #AMAA Africa Movie Academy Awards in Nigeria for traveling me across Africa every year to so many countries the past 10 years to meet African filmmakers, what a beautiful experience. We even started film schools in Johannesburg, Lagos, Lilongwe Malawi and in Kigali Rwanda.
I'm going to keep the website running, it's one of the 3 top film directories in the world, but I don't think I will be that much invested in continuing our SA industry anymore. Just letting you know what is on my mind, don't know how it's going to pan out, maybe re-configure the site to an international database, you will always be the base, part of it and growing from the exposure.
Unfortunately the Monday newsletter will be no more, but you will still receive funding opportunities and marketing tips.
The very few in SA that paid just R99 per month for membership, you have permanent top listings on the international database, thank you. There is no doubt you will continue getting value and as always, just login to add your press releases and job offers for distribution.
By the way, anyone that wants to buy the 33,000+ African filmmakers email database, contact me, but will never sell to anyone without our best interests in mind. We have over 60,000 followers on social media.
We deeply need to thank Joel Diamond (an award winning film composer) from New York who has been moderating our Facebook group for over 10 years so we were available on the group 24 hours per day to see you never got spammed and validated filmmakers. This has been a total labor of Love to Africa and our film industry.
You always thought I was a company of many workers, nope it was just me, one African woman working 18 hours every day for 14 years that built and sustained the website, newsletters, personal advice to anyone that contacted me and care.
I love you with all my heart.
My intention is now to concentrate on building an Audience for films with the aim of self distribution on Hulu, Amazon Prime and Netflix.
PS. I'm moving to Cannes so if you at the Cannes Film Festival, I will do my best to get you the most exposure. Will always be available for you.

text: One of the most popular street runs in Richmond is this jaunt down the length of Monument Ave, where runners can take in a variety of statues commemorating Richmond's vibrant history. The road begins at the Robert E. Lee Memorial (At Monument and North Allen Ave). From here, it stretches west for about 1.6 miles, passing monuments to Confederate Civil War veterans J.E.B. Stuart, Jefferson Davis, Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, and Matthew Fontaine Maury. The final statue in the chain is of Richmond's native born tennis star Arthur Ashe. The road continues for several miles after the officially designated Historic District, and there are some nice houses to look at, but the sidewalk peters out just past the Willow Lawn area (about 3 miles in). An out and back through the Historic District is a solid 5 km. Monument Ave is also home to a 10 km race each April which is considered one of the best running events out there.

"ABOUT BLOODY TIME should be on bookshelves everywhere: I only wish it had been on mine when I was younger" - Clementine Ford
ABOUT BLOODY TIME makes the case for menstrual revolution as an essential key to unlocking gender equality. Thousands of women and girls shared their experience of menstruation and menopause. The results were clear. Shame. Stigma. Humiliation. Disgust. Negative attitudes are pervasive, entrenched, and harmful.
This book digs deep into the menstrual taboo: where it exists, how it came to be and why it's so resilient. Our culture asks women and girls to view their bodies through a prism of negativity and fear. We want to change that.
We propose a positive new culture of menstrual wellbeing, helping women and girls to more deeply understand and trust their bodies, and giving them important tools to challenge, and disrupt, the status quo.
All women and girls are entitled to respect, dignity and a belief in the integrity of their bodies. In this work, we build on these goals, multiply the solutions, and share our plan to revolutionise menstrual culture and transform our whole society.
Because it's about bloody time.
Since 1985, the Victorian Women's Trust has fearlessly advocated for the rights of women and girls. ABOUT BLOODY TIME: THE MENSTRUAL REVOLUTION WE HAVE TO HAVE is a crucial part of the gender equality project. The Victorian Women's Trust brings together the writing talent of Karen Pickering and Jane Bennett to produce a ground breaking work that will change lives.

If you're planning a trip to tick off the places on your holiday list or going to visit family or friends, or essentially on a business trip to NZ, this write-up is for you. Just in between packing and planning, there's one thing that you might not have really thought about, and that is whether to get cheap travel insurance to NZ.
Extensive travel insurance, as the name recommends, is an insurance plan to cover a wide scope of conceivable outcomes that could upset your plans. There is a scope of alternative possibilities, people who travel very frequently might need to consider a multi-trip yearly policy, while the individuals who don't travel that frequently or limit themselves to one major excursion once in a while, might seems interested in a single trip travel insurance strategy. Whichever suits your particular needs, getting exhaustive travel protection gives you the affirmation and well-being of having help available in case of a crisis while you or your family are traveling around.
Most compendious travel insurance policies spread a wide scope of potential outcomes, which can incorporate excursion intrusions or huge delays, individual risk, trip cancellation, therapeutic and dental costs, things burglary or misfortune, grabbing or commandeering, incidental demise benefits, 24-hour travel help, and crisis departure.
Medicinal inclusion, for the most part, covers basic disorder, intense and painful torment, damage supported during the excursion, dental problems, and emergency treatment that is required, therefore. Nonetheless, there are limits, particularly as to dental and any surgeries that are completed while the insured person or people are going outside of New Zealand.
A decent principle guideline is that in the event that it doesn't establish an impending issue, and the treatment isn't totally required and can hold up until the individual is back on home ground, it is likely not going to be covered under the policy. Although, on account of a weakening ailment or severe damage, both travel and accommodation expenses might be secured, including a ticket back home should that be required. Do note anyway that the insured individual should be cleared for travel before the trip, or else the plan advantages are probably not going to kick in.
In the event that a person who is insured needs to return home to New Zealand in spite of their arranged schedule ahead, because of the demise or disease of a relative, a few policies do take care of the returning costs home and potentially the resumption of the outing a short time later. Inability emerging out of an episode during insured travel or any lawful costs that may happen will probably be appropriately secured by the policies. Individual obligation, where the safeguarded winds up at risk for another's life or property is additionally prone to be given some cover. In the unfortunate scenario, death during the excursion trip, the arrival of the insured's remaining parts to the nation of origin will be borne by the complete travel policy, or if in a foreign country all the funeral costs will be borne. In the case of unintentional death, compensation will be made to the closest relative, according to the travel insurance policy. If the traveler's mode of transport is hijacked or a person is kidnapped, the policies regularly offer help, yet in addition financial repayments.
There are various kinds of travel insurance policies to NZ, which covers many aspects but the initial step is to do some reasoning – and look into – to distinguish what kinds of inclusion you need and afterward continue to locate a far-reaching travel strategy that addresses those issues.
The places and countries you are visiting will affect the premiums of your policy too. For those considering multi-trip insurance or single trip travel insurance policies, there are probably going to be a few provisos with respect to span and length of outings from New Zealand, so best to pose inquiries about these confinements. It is critical to thoroughly read the advantages of the travel policies you're thinking about, what varieties in inclusion they offer, what is and isn't secured under the strategy, and if there are sure limitations or commitments from your side regarding divulgence. Absence of revelation, deluding the insurer or giving falsehood can bring about a case being denied.
With regards to inclusion for lost luggage, most organizations don't cover assets like electronics, watches, jewelry, and devices including tablets, PCs, cellphones, videography equipment or cameras. At the end of the day, things which you could sensibly hope to keep secure on your person because of their worth are most likely not going to be secured under your policy package. Leaving your backpack or camera on the transport, for instance, may not be recovered. Most strategic plans will cover for stolen things of this nature up to a pre-set sum that will be specifically characterized in the strategic plan. Travel insurance policies to NZ also cover the loss, damage, or burglary of stuff during an overseas trip.
This inclusion likewise stretches out to substitution of documents and credit cards. In any case, the method is an unquestionable requirement as far as filing a police report and not having been flippant for the documents, luggage or other belongings. In the scenario, your luggage is being delayed for over a stipulated measure of time (like 12 to 24 hours after your arrival), your travel insurance company will most likely offer a deferred baggage recompense that you can use to purchase the various fundamentals, dress, and toiletries.
Your travel insurance to NZ can cover the adventurous activities during your excursion. Examples include adventurous sports like skiing, kayaking, skydiving, swimming, snowboarding, paragliding, parasailing, fly skiing, bungee hopping, wilderness boating, and horse riding.
If the case, you need to change or drop your touring plans, your complete travel policy could act as the hero. Numerous exhaustive strategies cover the change of date costs that emerge out of unanticipated conditions in the home country or abroad. For instance, if an individual were to become sick enough to anticipate their movement on the planned dates or have a sickness or death in the family, the insurance policy may take care of the change costs. Or on the other hand maybe that the country one is making a trip to encounters political distress or catastrophic event, these too would comprise circumstances where the insurance policy could pay for the subsequent change in or abrogation of the touring plans.
However, demonstrations of psychological warfare and episodes of an irresistible sickness or a pandemic are generally absolved from being covered. There are likewise various other little however critical ways that having travel insurance and inclusion helps you on account of an unexpected situation that requests an adjustment in your trip plans. In the event that there is an occasion that requires an adjustment in touring plans, and this occasion is secured by your protection, there might be unintended costs that will be covered. For instance, a few strategies cover pet care expenses should your arrival be deferred. Rental vehicle return and related expenses might be paid for by your travel insurance.
You can get covered for the things you adore. Regardless of whether you're a devoted skier, an adrenaline addict, a contraption crack or a top of the line holidaymaker, domestic travel insurance NZ has the additional cover you're searching for. Catastrophes can strike any place at any time, even in your own terrace. Local travel protection will cover your New Zealand occasion escape for the outing, lost baggage, family emergencies, rental vehicle and more.

So you are a long time Aussie wholesale distributor and you are hearing all the white noise that Amazon is about to get in your face very soon. Amazon Business we all know has gone head on with the big global industrial distributors who themselves have already pulled the trigger on their own digital war with the giant. So on top of that now you too have to starting to worry about the Amazon tsunami wave "Down Under" and how it will further challenge your own Distribution status quo?
The warning you need to heed…..
One thing we can forewarn you about. In the exact words of Ahmed Fahour, Amazon Australia MD – "Amazon is coming to Australia with low prices, vast selection, and fast delivery". So if you think your current modus operandi can survive you need to think again. Your preparation now is critical to you maintaining and growing your business. If you have seen it coming and have been preparing that is a good thing. For those that are wearing blinkers then please take them off and start to know what you don't know and get some immediate answers and digital response/s in place.
Customers/Consumers have changed forever.
The Millennials coming through into the workforce are already many times the Buyers for your goods and are digital savvy therefore they will not suffer an underwhelming online customer experience. Realise as buyers they will be more value focussed than brand loyal. Amazon and other big B2B players across the globe are responding to what these buyers want and are constantly striving to give them the information and education to make decisions, ensuring product quality and at same time will make doing business and transacting with each other as easy as possible.
Meet head on the essential realities of what you are competing against…
Buyers want information at their fingertips and a reliable means of delivery. This has been the entree for Amazon to readily meet customer expectations, much like the global fast food chains we all know; nothing really different ingredients wise, but super price friendly, quick and easy to get your hands on and everywhere you go the experience is the same high standard. Translate these business fundamentals to Amazon and you get shopping whenever YOU want, knowing always where YOUR shipment is, product and competitor/review information at YOUR fingertips, and of course end to end support from Amazon itself. This is the new standard for business shopping. Just being a standout in these key areas alone has given Amazon stellar growth without maybe being expert in any industry vertical.
When it concerns industrial supplies, the reality is a part, is a part, is a part. Then what really is going to separate one distributor from the next?
We think this has to be the difference…
The Amazon tsunami survivors that will handle the peaks and troughs are going to be the ones where their customers chant "these guys know their products, they know us and we can rely on them for the depth of knowledge and support that we need which is simply not there for us with the online giants".
Breaking it down your leadership and intellectual property has to become your distinct advantage over Amazon Business. It is going to be your specialisation and what you are going to be famous for and following Amazon's lead on customer obsession that will keep your company value growing. So get savvy now … upgrade your digital platform, unlock great marketing experiences and make visible your product/operations knowledge and then you can expect to reap the benefits.

The global terrestrial carbon sink offsets one-third of the world's fossil fuel emissions, but the strength of this sink is highly sensitive to large-scale extreme events. In 2012, the contiguous United States experienced exceptionally warm temperatures and the most severe drought since the Dust Bowl era of the 1930s, resulting in substantial economic damage. It is crucial to understand the dynamics of such events because warmer temperatures and a higher prevalence of drought are projected in a changing climate. Here, we combine an extensive network of direct ecosystem flux measurements with satellite remote sensing and atmospheric inverse modeling to quantify the impact of the warmer spring and summer drought on biosphere-atmosphere carbon and water exchange in 2012. We consistently find that earlier vegetation activity increased spring carbon uptake and compensated for the reduced uptake during the summer drought, which mitigated the impact on net annual carbon uptake. The early phenological development in the Eastern Temperate Forests played a major role for the continental-scale carbon balance in 2012. The warm spring also depleted soil water resources earlier, and thus exacerbated water limitations during summer. Our results show that the detrimental effects of severe summer drought on ecosystem carbon storage can be mitigated by warming-induced increases in spring carbon uptake. However, the results also suggest that the positive carbon cycle effect of warm spring enhances water limitations and can increase summer heating through biosphere–atmosphere feedbacks.
Carbon uptake by terrestrial ecosystems mitigates the impact of anthropogenic fossil fuel emissions on atmospheric CO2 concentrations, but the strength of this carbon sink is highly sensitive to large-scale extreme climate events. In 2012, the United States experienced the most severe drought since the Dust Bowl period, along with the warmest spring on record. Here, we quantify the impact of this climate anomaly on the carbon cycle. Our results show that warming-induced earlier vegetation activity increased spring carbon uptake, and thus compensated for reduced carbon uptake during the summer drought in 2012. This compensation, however, came at the cost of soil moisture depletion from increased spring evapotranspiration that likely enhanced summer heating through land-atmosphere coupling.

Factors to Consider When Selecting the Ideal Plumbing Service
There are many factors that you need to consider when looking for the right plumbing services for your office or your home. Additionally, that is evident in choosing an emergency plumbing service provider in your time of need. You need to consider the reputation of the company involved in terms of ethics and quality of service before choosing them.
Mostly, when you need plumbing services, it's usually an emergency situation and that results in making hasty decisions, which are not always the best. As a result of this, there is a negative perception about the service providers in this kind of work. Within the interest of being fair, one cannot possibly paint every one of those service suppliers with the same brush. You would prefer to take the time to establish the authenticity and validity of such providers or services before you choose them. As much as it is easier said than done, especially during an emergency, a well-compiled listing of companies and service providers could be used in case of an emergency.
As you handle the work of going through a list of companies that offer plumbing services, you need to put several important factors into consideration such as the quality of services that a company offers, the number of years they have been in business as well as client testimonials which you can find. Membership into an association and professional governing bodies is typically an indicator of dedication and high-quality services that are being offered by the plumbing service company. This kind of information is easily available if a company has already published their details on their website.
Among those dreaded problems when looking into plumbers generally is the callout fee which cripples budgets because of the excessive nature usually connected to it. However, with just a little homework and some research, as stated previously in establishing an emergency service list, you will realize that there are some companies which don't charge such fees, of which ought to play a part in picking out the ideal plumbing service.
Obviously within a plumbing project that is planned, you will get more time for research as well as for obtaining various proposals and quotations and in such situations, prices are mostly the deciding factor. By making a decision that is entirely based on the cost, you overlook plenty of quality related aspects of the plumbing service. The renovation, installation, refurbishment or repair of any plumbing system in your home or work environment cannot be solely left to the pricing, since it has a direct effect on the materials, service and workmanship of that project itself. You would rather aim at getting more involved in the whole process of the plumbing service when it comes to that project.

Bap! Biennale of architecture and landscape of Île-de-France— 1st edition
Following a call for projects, Architecture Workroom Brussels was selected among 23 international practices to present its project World Transformation Center in the exhibition Augures commissioned by the urbanist and architect Djamel Klouche in the framework of the 1stedition of the Biennale of architecture and landscape of Île-de-France, which is held in Versailles from May 4 to July 13, 2019.
For this occasion, the Petite Ecurie of the National School of Architecture of Versailles is transformed into an agora, in which 23 practices of architects from around the world present their research through concrete projects as well as immersive workshops. Imagined as a laboratory of new architectural practices, this part of the Biennale shows how technological innovations are transforming the ways of building the city and its territories.
As part of the exhibition Augures, we present the project World Transformation Center through three objects: a photograph of the foyer of the WTC-I tower where the cultural event You Are Here took place in 2018, a video that gathers the testimonies of six actors who participated in the World Transformation Conference pleading each for a shared societal work space, and a leporello with images depicting the atmosphere of the work space at WTC and ten principles for its future reactivation.
World Transformation Center
Powered by Architecture Workroom Brussels
In 2018, we temporarily occupied the World Trade Center in Brussels' North District, along with many creative entrepreneurs, design practices, urban initiatives and an architecture school. The WTC-I 23rd floor was transformed into a public knowledge platform and incubator for the collaborative design of strategic transformation projects and investment programmes to better respond to global challenges. For this occasion, the WTC was renamed "World Transformation Center" and established as the central venue of You Are Here, Brussels' architecture and transition biennial 'in-the-making'.
To meet the ambitious goals set by the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations to combat climate change and its consequences, radical changes are needed. The transitions - to renewable energy, circular economy, shared mobility, healthy food production, etc. - will not take place without major modifications to our cities and landscapes, and not without citizens, experts and policymakers who live within and decide upon them. No transitions without spatial transformation, and no spatial transformation without social movement.
Many innovative spatial practices are rethinking their work methodologies and concepts within architecture, urban development, and spatial planning when integrating aspects of policy development, knowledge production, climate change, energy transition, water management, food production, circular building and/or impact investment. However, the existing insights and experiments often remain too isolated and disconnected from policy, financing and governance instruments to grow and multiply.
The World Transformation Center facilitates the connection, combination and structuring of the existing expertise, insights and dynamics. In its inspiring space, it hosts public debates, harvesting workshops, research-by-design ateliers, governance labs, and thus enables public administrations, research institutions, citizens associations, schools, companies and entrepreneurs to exchange, jointly developing knowledge and design methodologies for transformation.

Coupa announces new product innovations
Thursday 7th November, 2019
Coupa Software has announced at its annual Inspire'19 conference new product innovations that extend the capabilities of its cloud-based platform for businesses to manage all their spend in one place. Coupa's latest innovations empower businesses with the visibility, control, and agility to spend smarter together.
"Now more than ever, businesses need a comprehensive platform to effectively manage all of their business spend so they can respond swiftly and smartly to any competitive or economic pressure," said Raja Hammoud, executive vice president of products at Coupa. "The innovations that we announced today - conceived with and by the BSM community - are designed to help businesses learn, share, and collaborate, and get the spend control they need to thrive at all times."
The Coupa BSM Platform brings together a global community of businesses to collaborate with one another, and to leverage prescriptive insights from more than $1.3 trillion in cumulative business spend.
• Source Together, offered through the Coupa BSM Platform, brings companies together to leverage their collective buying power and help deliver greater savings from suppliers for commodities or services across geographies.
• Supplier Insights helps relieve sourcing teams of the arduous task of manually identifying diverse suppliers to more quickly align to their broader corporate social responsibility goals.
The foundation of spending smarter is a comprehensive, user-centric platform that makes it easier for everyone in an organisation to manage all aspects of business spend, from source to settle. This means delivering a unified, consumerlike experience across all areas of spend that enables employees to rapidly adopt and obtain value from new capabilities offered on the Coupa BSM Platform.
•Within six months of Coupa's acquisition of contract lifecycle management solution Exari, the company has rapidly unified the technology - now called Coupa Contract Lifecycle Management Advanced - with its BSM platform.
• With Coupa Pay for Expense Payments, companies can reimburse employee expenses directly from within the Coupa BSM Platform.
Coupa App Directory allows companies to access third-party applications and data within the context of their BSM processes to empower businesses to make more informed spend decisions. The company's newest alliances include Amadeus and cytric Travel. With cytric Travel data embedded within the Coupa BSM Platform, travellers now have a single place to view and manage all of their business travel. In addition, EcoVadis provides supplier sustainability ratings, Mastercard Track provides supplier risk data, and BitSight provides supplier cybersecurity ratings.

The Power of Empathy
Winning with People >> The Power of Empathy
We have all experienced the truism that life doesn't always go quite as smoothly as we would like. And that sometimes the curveball's that life throws at us can be very, very stressful. When times get tough, our focus naturally turns inward, and it's not unusual for people during these periods to feel alone and besieged. It is at moments like these that we appreciate empathy the most. We don't necessarily want someone to solve our issues (although that would sometimes be nice), but it's nice to know that someone grasps the implications of our situation.
To have empathy with other people doesn't mean you have to fawn over them or gush. You just have to let them know that you understand and care about what they're going through. When it comes to connecting with other people, there is no stronger message that you can send. One of the most powerful sentences you can have in your communications toolbox, in fact, is: "From what you've told me, I can understand why you're frustrated" ('frustrated can be replaced with 'angry' , 'upset' , or similar appropriate words). It says to the person that you've taken the time to listen, and that you recognize their emotional state. You're not necessarily agreeing with them, you're just empathizing with them.
Sound simple? It is. But at a time when someone is feeling like the world is against them, it is a positive message that they will appreciate and remember for a long time.
Have fun!
"People need you at your best when they are at their worst"

When the opportunity to join in a Kiehl's twitter chat arose a few weeks ago I was extremely excited. In the last year I've had a real interest in the brand and I had seen so many positive reviews online of so many products. But what truly influenced me to dip my toe in the Kiehl's pool and make a purchase was when I went away with my mum and sister to Amsterdam, because in our Air BnB, my sister had a pot of Kiehl's face cream. My sister isn't into products like me (or our mum!) and I thought that if my sister buys Kiehl's skincare, it must actually be good. Within a couple of weeks of being back from our trip, I'd already bought my first piece of Kiehl's skincare. Ultra Facial Cream is my new favourite moisturiser, I absolutely love it (and I new to buy a new one!)
After the Kiehl's Twitter chat I was contacted by them and asked if I'd like a couple of products to test, which of course, I jumped at the chance at. There are still many products I have yet to try and can't wait to get my hands on. I am forever filling up my basket and then realising that I have just bought a house and can't binge by skincare anymore. I don't need to tell you guys that these thoughts are absolutely, 100%, nothing but my own. Because you already know I wouldn't write about it if I didn't love it.
Within the package I received was the Daily Reviving Concentrate Oil. Face oils are a product I am dubious about because they're so slimy, so greasy and take so long to absorb into your skin. However this product doesn't take what feels like a week to sink into your skin, within a matter of minutes my skin isn't feeling greasy or slimy, it's feeling smooth. It blew my mind at first because I thought "surely I am meant to have a greasy face?". I've been using this product for about 3 weeks and my skin for sure is noticeable smoother and hydrated. The one area this product struggles to hydrate is around my nose, but I am forever battling with that part of my face and I am not sure why. In the areas of my face where I'd get black heads and rough skin, they have become smoother and less rough which can only happen for me with a good moisturiser. I can genuinely feel the difference in my skin and that my friends, is when I know I have a good skincare product.
I don't get spots often, I am very lucky for that but once my hormones come out to play I will get 1, at a push 2. It may be small and unnoticeable or it may be huge and considered a mountain. Whilst in the 3 week trial of this product my skin decided to give me a mountain which I knew would be with me for awhile, so I thought. My spot healed a lot quicker than expect, I didn't think that an oil could be the reason my spot healed so I didn't think too much of it. But then my skin gave me another mountain and it healed equally as quick yet again. The first time I was convinced was a fluke but twice? It's got to be down to my new skincare. Mind = Blown. I am going to use this product on all future spots to see if it is my miracle spot remover.
Now that I am confident about this product I have added it into my evening skincare routine, permanently. When trialing this product I used it in the morning and evening, however I just prefer to now save the oil for the evening. I like to massage it into my face as my last step and allow it sink in and just be there overnight with no make up on top. It works well as a morning product if you have plenty of time to allow it to sink in and then do your make up. This isn't a skincare product you can slap on and go with if you're in a rush. You need to wait a minimum of 10-15 minutes before you can even consider starting your make up. That can be nice for a pamper morning but probably not a Monday morning…
I am a big fan of this Daily Reviving Concentrate Oil** and I want to thank Kiehl's for bringing it into my life and my skincare routine. It's not often I fall completely in love with a product or find something that actually makes a change to my skin.
I am still on a trial with 2 other products so watch this space….
What's your favourite Kiehl's product and why?
** 2 stars means that I was gifted this product by a brand. Please read my disclaimer.

MAS, CAD raids leave market guessing
TRADING floors came alive with speculation on Friday about which stocks were involved in an investigation that led to police raids of broking firms on Wednesday, but the absence of any firm information kept traders from pulling any triggers.
"There's a lot of speculation, people trying to guess which stock it is," said one trader. "But nothing confirmed."
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Commercial Affairs Department (CAD) of the Singapore police raided several broking firms on Wednesday as part of investigations into potential breaches of the Securities and Futures Act, the law that governs the capital markets. A number of remisiers were taken for questioning, and documents and items were seized as well.
Market sources said that investigators went to DBS Vickers, Maybank Kim Eng, OCBC Securities and Phillip Securities at roughly the same time on Wednesday.
Your feedback is important to us
Tell us what you think. Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
The Business Times understands that among those taken for questioning were one remisier each from OCBC Securities and DBS Vickers. Representatives from DBS Vickers, Maybank Kim Eng and OCBC Securities said the firms themselves were not under investigation.
Investigators have kept mum about the specific circumstances that led to the probe, leading to speculation about which counter or counters may have been involved.
A number of stocks were mentioned by traders over the day, but the stock prices of those counters did not move meaningfully on Friday. To avoid undue speculation, BT will not be publishing the names of those stocks.
The investigations are likely to involve market manipulation or insider trading allegations. In the six months ended March, the Singapore Exchange (SGX) referred nine cases of market manipulation and three cases of insider trading to MAS.
SGX has also issued two trade-with-caution warnings this year, for Koyo International in January and for Zhongmin Baihui Retail Group in February; in each case, the exchange noted small groups of individuals accounting for the bulk of trades in those counters.
In February, Koyo announced that MAS and CAD were investigating managing director Foo Chek Heng.

What To Consider When Selling Your West Knoxville Home
For someone wanting to sell their West Knoxville home in today's market, there are many things to consider. Here are a few questions to ask yourself if you are considering selling your West Knoxville home:
- Am I okay with being a seller in a buyer's market? In the current West Knoxville real estate market, there are currently more properties for sale than there are buyer's to buy those properties for sale. This means buyer's are the ones calling the shots. Sellers trying to sell their West Knoxville home must understand that they might not necessarily get the price they were hoping for and it may take longer for the home to sell. This is not to sound all doom and gloom about the current West Knoxville real estate market. There are still people buying homes and there are homes selling. Being a seller in this current market, just requires a bit more patience and flexibility.
- How can I price my home so it sells quickly? Look at other properties in your neighborhood or in the area that are currently for sale. How does your home compare to those? Is it in better condition? Does it need more work? Consider talking to a licensed agent, who can provide you with a list of comparable properties that have currently sold in your area and your price range.
- Are there any repairs or improvements I should make before putting my home on the market? You know your home better than anyone. Do you still have damage from the Spring 2011 Hail Storm? Could the inside use a little fresh paint? What can you do to make your home sell quicker? Consider the cost of the repairs and if they would make your house more marketable to potential buyers.
- Should I sell my home all by myself? Or should I use an agent? Having an experienced agent can greatly improve your odds of selling your home. If you are trying to sell it by yourself, your home will not be listed on the Knoxville Multiple Listing Service. Also, buyer's agent is less likely to show your home, since they receive their commission from the list agent.
- Am I ready to move? And, am I committed to selling? Preparing to sell your West Knoxville home is a big commitment. You want to make sure you are ready to take all of the necessary steps to make sure your home is as marketable as it can be. In the current market, it takes some patience and flexibility to make the move happen.
There is a lot to think about when it comes to selling your West Knoxville home. If there is anything I can do to help make this descision easier, please do not hesitate to contact me by phone at 865-696-9002 or send me an email. Are you considering selling your home? If so, is there anything holding your back?
