Some companies may shy away from using Ringless Voicemail. They think that it could put them out of compliance; that it is too cost-prohibitive; or that it simply is not effective.
However, when used properly and with the right guidelines in place, Ringless Voicemail is an affordable and highly effective way to reach out to your target demographic. What are some key advantages over traditional voicemail that Ringless Voicemail can offer you and your company? This article will discuss 4 factors that should make you consider utilizing Ringless Voicemail in your next initiative.
Advantage #1. Ringless Voicemail by Stratics Networks Helps Avoid Frustration and Irritation
One of the biggest complaints that the FTC receives revolves around robocalls. More specifically, people frequently get irritated when a call interrupts their current activity, or they answer their phone expecting a live person on the other end, only to discover that it is a prerecorded message instead.
Whereas the traditional method of contact would often serve to increase call recipients' frustration and anger, Ringless Voicemail bypasses the entire issue by "dropping" the message directly into the consumer's voice mailbox. This means that the recipient can listen to the message at his or her convenience. Furthermore, since people aren't expecting to have a conversation when they check their voicemail, there will be much less confusion or frustration that results from misunderstandings.
Advantage #2. Ringless Voicemail by Stratics Networks is Cost-Effective
Several businesses worry that Ringless Voicemail is simply out of their price range. For instance, many ringless voicemail providers charge per delivered voicemail which, depending on the desired volume of calls, could become very expensive very fast.
However, Stratics Networks Inc. offers an Unlimited Ringless Voicemail service at one flat, monthly rate. That means that you don't have to worry about per use charges piling up until they break the bank! Furthermore, when you think about all the other advantages that Ringless Voicemail offers, it's clear why many companies consider it a much more affordable option than more traditional systems.
Advantage #3. Ringless Voicemail Offers a Higher Connect Rate
Ringless Voicemail by Stratics Networks can boost your connect rates far beyond what traditional voicemail could ever offer. For instance, Stratics Networks' Ringless Voicemail DropsTM boast a whopping 96% voicemail listen rate. Instead of disconnect after disconnect, you'll get consumers that will actually take some time to listen to your message, which means that you'll be much more likely to convert some into customers.
Furthermore, Ringless Voicemail tends to sort out those recipients that would like more information about your product or service from those who are not interested. It acts as a filter to ensure a high probability of conversion for those consumers who call your company back in response to the delivered message.
Advantage #4. Reasons why Ringless Voicemail Saves a Lot of Man-Hours
- Think about all the man-hours that you and your staff would have to put into a traditional delivery system. For each and every call, someone would always have to be on standby in case a recipient answers. That's a lot of dedicated resources and a lot of wasted time!
- In contrast, Ringless Voicemail cuts down on the man-hours required to operate your system. Your team members can focus their time on answering callbacks and directing those prospects to the correct department or point of contact. This is a much more effective alternative to traditional message delivery.
As you can see, there are several good reasons to consider using Ringless Voicemail for your next big marketing or outreach initiative. If you'd like to learn more about how Ringless Voicemail can boost your conversion rate, save on costs, and increase revenues, reach out to us at Stratics Networks, Inc. for more information.
We'd be happy to answer your questions.

Former Skyforce Coach Dave Joerger Fired by Sacramento
Former Skyforce Coach Dave Joerger Fired by Sacramento
SACRAMENTO, CA…Former Skyforce head coach Dave Joerger was let go by Vlade Divac and the Sacramento Kings Thursday despite the fact that they won 39 games. That's the most in 13 years for the Kings. In his 3 seasons in Sacramento, Joerger's teams went 98-148.
Joerger had coached the Kings since 2016 and has helped the team steadily improve. Sacramento went 39-43 this year, its best record since its last playoff season in 2005-06. The Kings have several talented young players acquired by Divac — guards De'Aaron Fox and Buddy Hield, forward Marvin Bagley III and center Willie Cauley-Stein.
Joerger previously was head coach of the Memphis Grizzlies who made the playoffs 3 times under his direction.

Women call for abortion rights at Belfast rally
Belfast city centre came to a standstill on Saturday as hundreds marched to mark the previous day's International Women's Day, where they heard calls for abortion to be extended to Northern Ireland.
Hundreds paraded noisily to the City Hall, some dancing to drum beats, others chanting slogans.
Students accused Prime Minister Theresa May of breaching women's rights. Drummers led the colourful parade, and many participants wore purple associated with the day, with placards and banners highlighted issues such as domestic violence.
Many pledged Northern Ireland would not be left behind as abortion laws are relaxed elsewhere.

I feel so privileged to be able to offer advice and guidance to people that are going through the same things I went through years ago. Lately, however, I seem to start every advice reply with "If I were in your position" or "If I could go back". This eventually gave me the inspiration for this post. I thought I would let my fellow Psych Grads know if I could go back 6 years with the knowledge I have NOW! What would I do differently?
Is there anything you would do differently? Comment below so other people can benefit from your wisdom. Also, follow me on Twitter @Psych_Assist
Still looking for a job? Check out the 6 Jobs for A Psychology Graduate straight out of university? or think you're ready for an Assistant Psychologist job? Check out the 5 Tips on Getting that Assistant Psychologist Job
This has to be the number 1 thing I would do if I could go back to my undergraduate. I had so many opportunities to volunteer but like most turned my nose up to giving up my TIME for FREE! I can whole heartedly say that I REGRET NOT VOLUNTEERING! during my undergraduate as it would have saved me so much heartache after university in trying to land a "clinical!" role. I'll give you an example of amazing voluntary experience that I passed on. My friend at undergrad was volunteering as a support worker in a residential home for young people. Even though it was voluntary, they still paid for your travel and expenses whilst on the job (which included food!). This would have been absolutely amazing experience as she learnt so many clinical skills that have helped her in her career (needless to say she's on her doctorate now!).
Top Tip: I didn't realise until I became an assistant, how much people are screaming out for voluntary people (especially graduates). It literally is as simple as getting a clinicians email or ringing up a service to speak with the service manager and seeing if they would be able to facilitate you shadowing for a short period of time. If at first you don't succeed, TRY TRY AGAIN!
Apply for PWP roles
Now I mentioned in previous posts such as 6 Jobs for A Psychology Graduate straight out of university?, that if I could go back in time to 2014 I would dedicate a large portion of time in applying to Trainee Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner roles. This to me, is exactly what every Psych Grad expects when completing a psychology degree; to get paid to deliver therapeutic interventions. Now politics aside (and also the never ending criticism of the IAPT system), this is the reality of why students get into psychology. If you are fortunate enough to have been accepted into this training course then you will expect to train for 1 year and then become a qualified PWP.
Top Tip: These types of roles only appear at certain times of the year (April/May and then again around September/October) so make sure to keep your eyes peeled. Also these roles aren't exclusively advertised on NHS Jobs either so make sure you have a look on all job websites.
Develop a sense of urgency
This was by far my biggest weakness a few years ago. I had absolutely NO URGENCY! in getting any clinical experience. I would always tell myself "don't worry I have plenty of time" or "I'll look for jobs later" (which never happened!). Actually it took until I practically had £20 to my name and 3 consecutive customers screaming in my face because their pizzas were late to realise I NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.
Top Tip: Now I don't want you to think "right I need to quit my job and apply for more clinical roles now!" I want you to understand that this about changing your mind-set. Don't underestimate the power of mind-set as if you think and visualise something enough, with the right action you will get there.
Enjoy the Journey
Ok I know what you're thinking "it's easy for you to say, you've had so much experience and made some amazing connection" but I can whole heartedly say that I have enjoyed every minute of this crazy journey! Even reflecting on the bad times, I am still thankful for all the twists and turns this journey has taken me. Believe me when I say that in 5 years' time you WILL look back at this time of your life with fond memories (and probably think how easy you had it back then!)
Top Tip: Live Laugh Love! Your career is only a small part of who YOU are! Don't get too bogged down by how much someone you knew from secondary school is making or how so and so have bought their first home! It's all background noise in the grand scheme of things!
This post could easily have had over 100 lessons so keep your eyes peeled for a part 2!

Victor Oladipo believes the Indiana Pacers have a "chance to be really special" as they prepare for the 2019-20 NBA season.
The Pacers finished 2018-19 with a 48-34 record and were swept by the Boston Celtics in the first round of the playoffs after star Oladipo ruptured a quad tendon in his right knee.
Indiana lost some key pieces from that team — including Thaddeus Young, Bojan Bogdanovic, Darren Collision and Cory Joseph. But, the Pacers replaced them with the likes of Jeremy Lamb, T.J. Warren, T.J. McConnell, Justin Holiday and JaKarr Sampson.
The Pacers made multiple moves this offseason and two-time All-Star Oladipo said Indiana will "definitely" make the playoffs.
"I feel like we got some great additions," Oladipo said, via the Indianapolis Star. "We got a chance to be really special. I feel like the league is wide open."
Indiana's biggest acquisition was Malcolm Brogdon, who they landed in a sign-and-trade with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Brogdon, who averaged 15.6 points and shot 42.6 per cent from three-point range last season, then signed a four-year, $85million deal with the Pacers.
"We added a lot of fire power offensively, but we always wanted a team on a good timeline," Indiana president of basketball operations Kevin Pritchard told reporters in early July.
"We feel we have a young team, a very vibrant up-and-coming team that's willing to get better. We like guys who love the game. You can always tell when guys love the game, they have these incremental improvements every year."
Oladipo said he was excited to play with Brogdon.
"I know what type of player he is, the level that he plays on and has been playing on the last couple of years from Milwaukee," Oladipo said. "To have him as an addition is pretty big for us."

It was quite obvious that the new policy on entertainment and hospitality events issued by the Rivers State Ministry of Culture and Tourism was going to generate a huge agitation from the industry players.
First it was Bobby Rak, a cinematographer in the state that came out strong against the policy, and now veteran Nollywood actress Hilda Dokubo has declared war against the Ministry.
She released a short video on instagram where she out-rightly without mincing words, referred to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism River state as rouges that don't know the times and season.
She cited findings by International agencies that says Nigeria's biggest economy is entertainment and not oil, and River state is trying to revamp her entertainment sector, therefore placing a regulation of this sort will slow down the pace of the industry's development.
The River State Ministry of Culture and Tourism had on Wednesday released a communique stating that every entertainment show and hospitality event that will be held in the state as from 1 January 2017, must seek the Ministry's written approval.
See Hilda Dokubo's Video Below:
The Ministry of Culture and Tourism finds an ingenious way of stifling innovation and creativity in Rivers State that will encourage touts and thieves to extort money from genuine hard working and honest citizens. They have gone rogue! We must fight back to save the entertainment industry, practitioners and her entrepreneurs.

Where Will Mastercard Be in 5 Years?
While discussing Mastercard Inc (NYSE: MA) and close rival Visa Inc (NYSE: V) on a recent
So what's Mastercard's secret sauce? What makes the company so special that investing legends discuss it in hushed tones and cause its stock price to rocket past the S&P 500 for more than a decade running? Let's take a closer look at Mastercard's business model to see what's driving its amazing returns, and what the next five years might hold for it.
While Mastercard only collects a fraction of a percentage as a fee, this quickly compounds across Mastercard's millions of cards and the transactions facilitated with them. Image source: Getty Images.
Mastercard's business model
When consumers make purchases using Mastercard products (whether via a plastic card or digital platform), Mastercard collects a small percentage of the transaction as a fee. While merchants will ultimately miss out on about 2.5% to 3.5% of the total transaction amount, much of that missing total goes to the card issuers and the merchants' banks for their roles in the transaction. Smaller amounts go to the payment processing service (the provider of the hardware and software that allows merchants to accept cards at the point-of-sale) and the payment network (e.g. Mastercard).
Thus Mastercard only collects a fraction of a percentage as a fee -- but this quickly compounds across Mastercard's millions of cards and the transactions facilitated with them. In Mastercard's 2019 first quarter, the company's 2.54 billion cards were used to make 19.2 billion transactions worth almost $1.5 trillion. Small fees quickly add up when we're talking about these kinds of numbers!
The beauty of Mastercard's (and Visa's) business model is that, once the underlying infrastructure is in place, there is little additional cost for Mastercard to accept more payments. In other words, as Mastercard scales, increased transactions quickly add to the bottom line.
Mastercard's growth
As card and digital payments grow the use of cash and personal checks decreases, a trend which could be called the "
Most of us intuitively understand that using cash or checks for online purchases is, at best, much more inefficient and cumbersome than card or digital payments. As e-commerce increasingly takes market share from brick-and-mortar retail, it provides a strong tailwind for Mastercard. As Visa CFO Vasant Prabhu explained the benefits of this trend:
E-commerce is growing 5-times as fast as face-to-face transactions. And in an e-commerce transaction, the propensity to use a Visa card is twice as high as a face-to-face transaction. So something growing 5-times as fast where your propensity to be used is twice what it might have been. That's phenomenal.
While Prabhu was talking about Visa, the same benefits also apply to Mastercard.
Mobile payments provide another catalyst to Mastercard. Nearly all popular digital wallet platforms in North America and Europe, including PayPal Holdings' (NASDAQ: PYPL) core platform and
Finally, more merchants than ever before are able to accept cards as payments. Square made accepting card payments as easy as plugging a small dongle into a smartphone in the U.S., while
These catalysts have consistently driven Mastercard's top- and bottom-line growth. In Q1, revenue rose to $3.89 billion, a 13% year-over-year increase, while adjusted earnings per share (EPS) grew to $1.78, a 24% increase year-over-year.
Mastercard's future
So where will Mastercard be in five years? While my crystal ball is broken, I don't foresee too much happening to displace Mastercard's vital role in the payments ecosystem over the next few years. The company's
Of course, due to its envy-inducing margins, there will always be those that try. Investors should definitely keep an eye on big banks and tech giants experimenting with new technology, such as Facebook Inc's (NASDAQ: FB) efforts with

Drew Brees eclipsed 40,000 yards passing for the Saints, reaching the mark more quickly than any other player with one N.F.L. team. Brees achieved the milestone with an 8-yard pass to running back Travaris Cadet in the first quarter of New Orleans's victory over Tampa Bay. It was Brees's 132nd game with the Saints, a club he joined as a free agent in 2006. The previous record was held by the Hall of Famer Dan Marino, who reached 40,000 yards in his 153rd game with the Dolphins.
Peyton Manning threw his 500th career touchdown pass, joining Brett Favre in an exclusive club. Manning reached the milestone with a 7-yard dart to tight end Julius Thomas that gave the Broncos a 7-3 lead en route to a win over the Cardinals. Manning has played in 244 regular-season games, 49 fewer than it took Favre.
Demaryius Thomas set a Broncos single-game record with 226 yards receiving, topping Shannon Sharpe's mark of 214 set in 2002. Thomas's teammate Wes Welker had seven catches, moving him past Rod Smith for the most career receptions by an undrafted N.F.L. player. He has 854.
The Cowboys' Jason Witten joined Tony Gonzalez and Shannon Sharpe as the only N.F.L. tight ends with 10,000 yards receiving. Witten reached the mark when he caught a 34-yard pass over the middle from Tony Romo in the third quarter of a win over the Texans. Witten finished the game with 10,014 yards in his 12-year career. He is the Cowboys' career leader in receptions, with 898.

Monday's Matchup
Seahawks (2-1) at Redskins (1-3)
8:30 p.m., ESPN
Line: Seahawks by 7 ½
Winning a Super Bowl has not changed the formula for Seattle: Play tough defense, run the ball a lot, and use big plays from Russell Wilson and the passing game only when necessary. The judicious use of a talented player is something Washington fans will probably watch wistfully, especially because Robert Griffin III reinjured his knee in a January 2013 playoff game against the Seahawks, and the franchise has yet to truly recover.
No one is sure whether Griffin can ever show the greatness he displayed as a rookie. But after Kirk Cousins's four-interception second half against the Giants, at least most people have stopped suggesting that he is a better option for the long term.
Seattle had a week off to prepare for its next 13 games, and this one could also feel like a vacation.

Welsh Rugby
Gatland fires World Cup warning
ESPNscrum Staff
October 18, 2010
Wasps' Andy Powell faces missing out on the World Cup © Getty Images
Warren Gatland has warned Welsh players based in England that their participation in next year's Rugby World Cup is in doubt due to a Premier Rugby ruling.
The governing body of the 12 Premiership clubs will not release players for international duty before August 4 next year - the latest date possible and just days before Wales' warm-up game against England.
Gatland described their stance as 'ridiculous' and confirmed that players such as Wasps No.8 Andy Powell and Sale scrum-half Dwayne Peel face missing out on the sport's showpiece event.
The duo have both been omitted from Wales' November squad in part because they are unavailable for the first Test against Australia on November 6 as it falls outside the IRB's designated window.
"The major concern is we have had a letter from Premier Rugby saying players in England will not be released until August 4," Gatland said. "That is completely ridiculous to say the players will finish [the season] in May but not be available for national squads until August, two days before we play England in our first warm-up game.
"It's going to limit players playing in England being available in terms of preparation or being available for the squad. Picking this squad we have looked at this campaign and the Six Nations, and if a player playing across the bridge is unavailable until August 4 it is highly unlikely they will be considered for the World Cup squad."
Premier Rugby chief Mark McCafferty bit back at Gatland, insisting that they were merely following IRB regulations. "This is an IRB regulation that players only have to be released 35 days before a tournament," he told The Daily Telegraph.
"We didn't lobby for this at all. And no one has said anything about it until this point. It's not an issue for us although it's been characterised as such. It's disappointing when others start to beat the drum and portray us as the bad guys."

Cash Flow Problems and Creditor Pressure lead to Liquidation
Testimonial: When Business Recovery is not possible and Liquidation is the only answer.
Sometimes a business faces insurmountable cash flow problems (and other related problems). In such cases, business recovery is not possible, despite the best efforts of all concerned. In this instance, a family run business had run into considerable difficulties, which they had not been able to overcome. The directors had put their heart and soul into the business. However, stress was mounting as cash flow problems, HMRC arrears and creditor pressure grew. We were called in to help and Liquidation was agreed as the only option. Under these circumstances, our role is to take the strain and manage as orderly a liquidation as possible.
The Client had this to say about our help and advice
The business was a retail outlet based in Warwickshire, and one of the directors said this about our work:
"Poppleton & Appleby's (the insolvency arm of Business Recovery Specialists) help and advice was invaluable at a very difficult and stressful time for our family business. They provided us with friendly and non-judgemental advice from start to finish. They took control of the liquidation process for our company, which we were feeling extremely overwhelmed by. It was a huge weight off our shoulders and with the help of Poppleton and Appleby, the mountains of letters and phone calls we had been inundated with stopped almost immediately."
This case study goes on to tell the story behind the difficulties faced and why liquidation became inevitable.
The set up of the business – Initial success
The company was set up in April 2013 selling a mixture of goods. These were made by the directors and also supplied by other traders. These traders would rent their own space in the shop, under licence. They paid a rental fee and a commission on their sales.
A suitable shop was found and the Directors signed a six year lease. They believed that after six years the contract was unlikely to be renewed. This was due to the landlord's plan to develop the premises into student apartments. There was also a six month break clause in the lease, which seemed sensible for a new business.
All of the Company's rental spaces had been filled before opening, and footfall was strong from day 1. The Company won a number of awards and the Directors were optimistic about the future.
A few months in, cash flow problems started
About four months after the shop opened, the directors realised that the costs of running the Company had become much higher than anticipated. With determination, however, changes were implemented to increase revenue streams. These changes were successful, but then the landlord made a decision which was difficult for the business.
The Landlord Decides He Wants to Convert the Premises to Student Apartments Sooner than Expected.
This came as a huge blow. The landlord said the company needed to look for somewhere else to trade. As a result, in total panic, the Directors stopped re-renting spaces to new traders when old traders had left. This had a huge impact on revenue. When added to the higher running costs, this meant that cash flow problems started.
One of the first consequences of this was that the Company fell behind with its rent. As a result, they arranged an informal payment plan with their Landlord so that they could catch up.
Efforts Were Made to Increase Revenue
The Company started to get on top of the rental arrears, by increasing the rental that was charged on trading spaces and by increasing the commission taken on the sale of traders' goods by a small amount. However, the prospect of moving premises, and all the costs associated with it was not a positive one.
HMRC Then Assessed the Company for Unpaid VAT
A VAT inspection by HMRC then followed, the Company was assessed for wrongly reclaiming VAT from the rental invoices. As a result, despite the inspectors agreeing that the invoices were confusing and understanding where the error had come from, HMRC stated that they were owed c.£20,000 in unpaid VAT. HMRC also stated that VAT was owed on every sale that went through the shop's till. The Company could have put in an appeal, that they acted as an 'agent' for its traders, who therefore paid their own VAT direct to HMRC, but being under so much pressure, the Company felt overwhelmed and did not appeal HMRC's decision.
Both of the directors had other companies whose VAT records had been checked by HMRC on the same inspection, and it was clear that those companies each traded within the Company, paid rent to the Company, received sales monies from the Company and then had been paying VAT to HMRC on their own sales within the shop. However, HMRC still insisted that the Company owed VAT on every sale within the outlet on behalf of its traders and their sales.
In summary, the outlook was bleak when we were called in. There were significant cash flow problems, creditor pressure and HMRC arrears.
Liquidation was the only option
It was clear that the cash flow problems and other problems facing the business were impossible to overcome. In addition, we had to inform the Directors that they could not pay any more creditors' bills with the business's remaining cash. These would be seen as preference payments.
The following action was taken:
- The Company notified its staff members (three of whom were self-employed) and traders of the impending closure,
- Direct debits and all other payments were cancelled,
- The small amount of stock held (cards, a small selection of gifts and wrapping paper) was reduced to less than cost price,
- The closure of the shop in the least distressing way possible for the 130+ staff, traders and customers who had become so emotionally invested in the Company.
The Directors paid the traders the last of their sales money (this money had always been held in trust and was not the Company's money to hold back) and paid the staff their final wage.
Once the Company had closed and the rental deposit was released to the Landlord via his solicitor, the Company was left owing its final month's bills, along with the large debts to HMRC and to its Landlord. With no funds remaining, the Directors and Shareholders decided to try and raise enough to pay for voluntary liquidation of the Company so that they could draw a line under everything.
At a subsequent Directors' meeting, the Directors concluded that there was no alternative other than to place the Company into Liquidation.
If Business Recovery is not Possible, We Can Help
This case study shows how a business that was carefully planned, and initially successful, can end up with terminal problems. Often through no fault of their own.
As Business Recovery Specialists, our aim is always to help a business overcome its problems so that it can resume profitable trading. When that is not possible, our job is to manage the insolvency process towards liquidation as efficiently and sensitively as possible. Contact us or on 0333 222 8065 for a free initial chat.

Boundless Labs (Growth & Email Marketing Agency) Launches Zen Pup (CBD for Dogs brand)
UPDATE: Shortly after posting this we found some ways to advertise CBD on Facebook and Google that gets around their policies legally. As such, we started to work with other CBD brands to help them advertise their products on Facebook and Google. We just launched Boundless Labs - CBD Marketing Agency as a result. So any CBD brands interested in marketing their services on Facebook and Google, as well as interested in PR, Email marketing, influencer marketing, and SEO services, please contact me directly: email@example.com. Thanks!
Boundless Labs, a top growth and email marketing agency is thrilled to publicly announce the launch of Zen Pup, a premium CBD brand for dogs.
We officially launched Zen Pup to the public on Wednesday, December 5th, 2018, after months of R&D + product testing. We rolled out the public launch of Zen Pup with an awesome feature in Esquire Magazine.
The title of the Esquire article is This Company Is Using CBD to Improve Your Dog's Life. We are also excited to announce that we were featured on CNBC, Digiday, + dozens of others.
As some of you may already know, the CBD industry is an incredibly difficult industry to drive top of the funnel traffic in due to strict regulations by Google, Facebook, Instagram and other leading platforms where most e-commerce brands are able to run ads.
As a result, our approach to Zen Pup has been focused on PR, Email marketing, influencer marketing, and SEO. Eventually, we see a decent channel for customer acquisition and sales being retail, where we've already had some inbound retail interest.
Zen Pup Broken Down by online channel:
PR has been a really great online channel for us for multiple reasons.
It's been a great way to gain much needed credibility and social proof in an industry that has so much variance in product quality from one CBD brand to another. Thankfully for us, our PR legitimizes our product as we spent tons of money developing. Part of the reason our products are expensive as they are is due to the fact that we only use premium ingredients.
It's been a great way to gain high authority back links (more on that in our SEO section below).
It's been a great way to drive traffic and ultimately conversions

This is more of a feedback to the Dell engineering team, but also wanted to hear from other XPS 13 9365 owners out there.
I have a hard time opening the lid on this laptop. Unlike MacBooks, there is no indentation or lip to get a grip on. I have resorted to standing the laptop on its rear edge and then using both hands to separate the display from the keyboard.
Has someone found a better way? I am tempted to add a plastic tab to the hand rest to make opening the laptop easier.
I have noticed it is a little hard to grasp the lid. The top of the lid does have a slight extension you can pull up on, but putting it on the back side does allow for a better opening. The most important thing seems to be not opening from opposite sides of the system since that puts a torque on the hinges.
My Inspiron 17 2 in 1, does have a place to open the lid, center of the front, but even it is still hard to get a finger hold and opens best when sitting on the back.

Building Keck: An Oral History
Between 1991 and 1992, the Caltech Archives conducted a series of seven oral history interviews with administrators, designers, astronomers, and managers from Caltech and the University of California (UC) to record the history and development of the W. M. Keck Observatory. Those interviews were published online for the first time in the fall of 2018.
Construction on the first of the two Keck telescopes began in September 1985 after a $70 million donation from the W. M. Keck Foundation; the Keck I telescope's first light occurred a little more than five years later, in late 1990. At the time of the interviews, a second Keck Foundation donation had made it possible to begin construction of the Keck II telescope, which would capture first light in October 1996.
To tell the Keck story, Caltech magazine turned to those oral histories, weaving one narrative from seven storytellers. The entire set of interviews may be found on the website of the Caltech Oral History Project. This is the first in a series of articles on the past, present, and future of the Keck Observatory and the science done there that will appear in Caltech's print and online publications.
THE STORYTELLERS (in alphabetical order)
William Frazer, professor of physics at UC Berkeley, emeritus, UC's senior vice president for academic affairs during the construction of Keck I.
Jerry Nelson (BS '65) (1944–2017), project scientist for the W. M. Keck Observatory from 1985 through 2012, and principal designer of the 10-meter segmented mirrors for which Kecks I and II are known.
Gerry Neugebauer (PhD '60) (1932–2014), Caltech's Robert Andrews Millikan Professor of Physics, Emeritus, who played a key role in design and construction of Keck 1 as chair of the Division of Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy.
J. Beverley Oke (1928–2004), Caltech professor of astronomy, emeritus, who designed many of the instruments for Keck I.
Wallace L. W. Sargent (1935–2012), Caltech's Ira S. Bowen Professor of Astronomy, who had worked as director of Palomar Observatory and was involved, along with several others at Caltech, in working with the Keck Foundation to finance what would become the Keck I telescope.
Maarten Schmidt, Caltech's Francis L. Moseley Professor of Astronomy, Emeritus, who helped decide upon the segmented-mirror design created by Jerry Nelson for the Keck telescopes.
Gerald Smith, formerly with JPL, who was the project manager for the W. M. Keck Observatory's telescopes from the beginning of the project until his retirement in 1996, soon after the dedication of Keck II.
"Here's how you weld."
Frazer: In '83, David Gardner became president [of the UC system] and … I became the university's principal administrator on the telescope project.
Neugebauer: I was fairly deeply involved in the beginning. I was the director of Palomar, and I basically took two years off to run IRAS [InfraRed Astronomical Satellite]. And when I came back from that, there was a question: "What should we do?"
Nelson: I met [Gerry] Neugebauer and [Robert] Leighton, my TAs as a sophomore [at Caltech], and they invited me to work for them. It turned out that they were involved in infrared astronomy, and in particular, they were involved in building a 60-inch telescope to do an infrared sky survey on Mt. Wilson. … They were going to build everything themselves with a spun epoxy mirror, and they got me involved in practically every aspect of designing and building this thing. I remember the day they hired me. Leighton dragged me into the shop and walked me into one of the rooms and said, "OK, see all these bars of steel? I want them all welded together, and here's how I want them done." And he pulled out a welding torch and he said, "Here's how you weld." He gave me a five-minute lesson and said, "Here." [Laughter]
Oke: We already … had the biggest telescope in the world, and we thought we were doing about as good a thing with it as anybody could. But I think we also realized … that we needed more "oomph," we needed more collecting area, if we were going to really keep up … our leadership role in astronomy.
Sargent: I wrote a memo to [Jack] Roberts [who was then Caltech's provost] on the 18th of March, 1980, in which I said, "It's now thought to be technically possible to construct ground-based optical telescopes in the 10-to-15-meter range, using thin, segmented primary mirrors and active optics. There are plans to construct such telescopes by the late 1980s. One of these schemes, a 10-meter telescope, is being pushed by the University of California, with some input … from Caltech." We actually had a few advisers on their scheme. "We should seriously consider becoming a major partner in the UC scheme if we are not to fall behind in the late 1980s."
"Having the money is all the difference."
Schmidt: Caltech was asked [by UC] whether we wanted to be a one-quarter partner, which started things on a very much more definitive course. I think it was sometime in August 1984, or soon thereafter, we essentially settled on three scenarios of how things could be handled. And one would be that while we would build the telescope on Maunakea, the University of California would find enough money to build one in the Southern Hemisphere, and there would be cooperation, and the design would be the same. The second option was that, near the [Keck] telescope on the same mountain, another one might be built by the University of California, and [we] would do interferometry between the two and further cooperate. And a third option essentially came down to this, Caltech would provide the funds to build the telescope, and the University of California would bring in enough funds to run the installation for a considerable time, which turned out to be 25 years. Well, as we know, the final option was the one that became operative.
Smith: When the Keck Foundation and Caltech came in, I saw this as a real positive development, because I felt that the entry of Caltech would make it a much stronger operation. The funding was, of course, the key thing; having the money is all the difference. So Caltech just breathed new life into it, as far as I was concerned.
"Or you can go to an island."
Neugebauer: The sites that are good for astronomy turn out to be sites that are high, or near water, so you have very smooth air flowing over it. That's why the good sites are here in California [and] in Chile. Or you can go to an island, and you have the wind blowing over the island in a nice smooth way.
Sargent: There'd been telescopes [on Maunakea] since … the late '60s.
Schmidt: At that time, the University of California people, I think, had already settled on Maunakea, and we liked that very much: almost no light pollution, very high, and so on.
"It's a very clever idea."
Sargent: There were two competing designs [for the mirror], over which they had a shootout. One design was to have a single, very thin piece of glass that was flexible, the so-called rubber mirror, and adjust it with active controls from the back. The other was [Jerry] Nelson's idea, which was to have a segmented mirror in which there would be 36 hexagonal solid pieces which would be adjusted, but you wouldn't adjust the whole. It wouldn't be a complete surface; there would be cracks in it.
Nelson: In 1980 [or] probably the end of '79, when this committee was going to meet, there was a group of six or seven people on this committee, and we presented reports to them, both written and oral. … And after they reviewed it and talked to us at length, they ended up saying the segmented-mirror telescope was the way to go. Early on, not knowing much about how you fabricate optics, I just sort of thought you take these off-axis mirrors and you get them polished somehow. And as I looked into that, I realized that, "No, wait a minute, polishing is not like machining metal. It's an art, not a science or even a craft." [Laughter] And I'd talked to people who'd polished optics, and they said, "Oh, no. We don't know how to do that. That's hard." … And I realized that this was a real issue, this wasn't a minor matter that we could solve someday in the future. It was a fundamental stumbling block, just as important as the active-control system.
Neugebauer: How do you make 1.8-meter mirrors inexpensively? Basically, the mirrors have to be in the form of a parabola after they're assembled. But it's much easier to polish them as spheres. So, what you do is you take the piece of glass and "stress polish" it. You bend the glass with weights along the edges, in just the right shape, [and] you polish that into a sphere. Then, when you release the weights, it springs back to the right shape. It's a very clever idea. It was Jerry Nelson's idea. That has turned out to work. [Another] big technical problem, which turned out to work relatively easily, was to make all the mirrors play together. That was demonstrated on nine mirrors; they could make nine mirrors all point together and act as if they were one big mirror.
Nelson: When I did the calculations, I realized that with segments, you put them on some kind of structure. It's going to deform by such a large amount that there's no way you can just position them carefully and they'll stay where they belong. … I realized we were going to have to have some sort of active-control system. Schmidt: The thing that struck me as something that went particularly well was the alignment system of the segments. That was, I think, only first tested just a little under a year ago, last March or April 1990 or so, close to first light. And when that system was turned on to align the first nine segments, the noise in the alignment was on the order of 15 nanometers, whereas when the dome was rotating, it became on the order of 40, and that was the first result, which was well within the requirements. And that's remarkable, because people in the community who had been following all this had been most worried about, or critical of, the claims made by Jerry Nelson that you can align these segments and then it's as good as if it were one surface. … Now that doesn't mean that it's easy. [Laughter] Jerry Nelson somehow did it particularly well. And then, the development of lightweight mirrors ... opened the possibility of having telescopes that were very considerably cheaper per unit area than they used to be, by a factor of probably 5 to 10 or so. … I'm sure that otherwise the Keck Telescope would have cost between a half billion and a billion dollars or so.
"That's where the Keck, I think, will be priceless."
Oke: Well, the first things we will do when we put on the spectrograph, which we're designing, are pretty simple things. We'll take pictures that are pretty, obviously, spectacular. [They are] nice to look at. … They'll be just single objects initially, or a galaxy sitting on a single slit. And then as things start to get working better and better, you try long-slit kinds of things, and then you start multi-slit things, and then you try fainter and fainter things.
Schmidt: That's where the Keck, I think, will be priceless. It will really allow us to do things with distant galaxies that you now wouldn't think of.
Neugebauer: I would try and look at the center of the ultra-luminous galaxies. There are a series of galaxies that have a hundred to a thousand times more energy than the galaxies we know about. I would try to look at those and really study what makes them tick.
Oke: The second Keck has always been sitting there as a possibility. I don't know, for instance, whether this second telescope was something [Howard] Keck had talked about. But the rumors were around that he had talked a bit about the possibility of there being two. And in the early UC combination, there was talk about two. So this idea of a second Keck had always been in the deep background.
Nelson: It has sure been an interesting project.
The W. M. Keck Observatory is home to the world's most scientifically productive optical and infrared telescopes. The Keck I telescope began its scientific observations in May 1993; Keck II saw first light in October 1996. Each telescope weighs 300 tons and operates with nanometer precision; each has a primary mirror composed of 36 hexagonal segments that work in concert as a single piece of reflective glass. The observatory was made possible by the financial support of the W. M. Keck Foundation.

Q. 73.9( 18 Votes )
Answer :
Let the first solution be solution A and second solution be solution B.
⇒ Mass of Solute in solution A, Ma = [25 × 300]/100
= 75g
⇒ Mass of Solute in solution B, Mb = [40 × 400]/100
= 160g
To find: Mass Percentage of Solute
Mass Percentage of Solute
⇒ Total mass of Solute in mixture, M = Ma + Mb
= [75 + 160]
= 235g
⇒ Total mass of solution = 300 + 400
= 700g
⇒ Mass Percentage of Solute
= 33.5%
⇒ Percentage of Water in final solution = 100-33.5
= 66.5%
Therefore mass percentage of solute is 33.5% and that of water is 66.5%.

3 Companies Fighting to Stop Obesity
As investors look at possible industries that might thrive in the future, they may want to consider looking at companies that are attempting to treat obesity. According to the latest statistics, more than a third of U.S. adults are currently classified as obese. Medical conditions that can result from obesity include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer. The cost from these deadly conditions has been estimated to be approximately $150 billion per year. The three companies below are trying to put an end to the suffering while profiting immensely at the same time.
The first company that is looking to put an end to rising obesity is Arena Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:ARNA). Arena is a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing, and commercializing novel drugs that target G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) to address unmet medical needs. The company's flagship product is BELVIQ and has already received FDA approval to be used as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for chronic weight management. Adults with an initial body mass index of 30kg/m2 or greater are the prime target for the drug.
Investors had been anticipating a company update regarding the BELVIQ launch in the United States and received it last month. The company announced that it had started placing full-page announcements communicating the availability of BELVIQ in major US magazines. Additionally, Arena's partner, Eisai, recently launched the Believe Everyday Support program which will provide support and savings to patients treated with BELVIQ. Investors should be paying very close attention to company announcements over the next few months to gauge the progress and commercial success of BELVIQ.
A second company looking to help those suffering from obesity is Weight Watchers International (NYSE:WTW). Weight Watchers is a global provider of weight management services. The company has helped millions of people around the world lose weight through sensible and sustainable food plans, exercise, behavior modification, and group support. The company also sponsors meetings around the world in which more than one million members attend on a weekly basis.
Despite a horrific earnings report on August 1, Weight Watchers remains a trusted brand around the world. Weight Watchers continues to be able to license its products to globally recognized firms.
The company also has an extremely strong infrastructure in place, as Weight Watchers has over 12,000 leaders who host approximately 45,000 weekly meetings. These meetings serve as a support system for the company's members and gives them an opportunity to learn more about the struggles of weight loss and methods that can be used to help combat those struggles.
A third company using an innovative approach in an effort to help curb obesity is Stevia First Corporation (OTC:STVF). Stevia First is a development-stage agricultural biotechnology company focused on the industrial-scale production of stevia. Stevia is an all natural zero-calorie sweetener that can be used as an alternative to the unhealthy sweeteners such as sugar and corn syrup. Recently, Stevia-related companies received a big boost as the product received a major advertising spot in the final episodes of "Breaking Bad."
As consumers continue to seek out healthier and more natural beverages, companies like Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) and PepsiCo. (NYSE:PEP) should reach out to Stevia First in an attempt to use their stevia products. Each of these globally-recognized companies produces a large variety of drinks which will allow them to target an extremely wide base of customers to help get stevia a lot of exposure. Once customers realize that stevia offers the same, if not better taste than sugar, customer acquisition should come quick and cheap.
One of the main reasons why Stevia First may surge in the coming months and years is because of their recent distribution agreement signed with GAB Innovations. This marks the first retail distribution for Stevia First and a glimpse of bigger things to come. GAB Innovations has built a large and diverse network throughout Canada and has affiliate relations with U.S. marketers. This large reach should allow Stevia First to speed up their product development and help increase public awareness about the benefits of using an all natural sweetener like stevia.
As additional distribution agreements are generated, it's important to consider the large market potential that Stevia First can tap into. According to BCC Research, the market size of the sugar and sweeteners market in 2012 was $77.2 billion and is projected to reach $97.2 billion by 2017. According to one article, the World Health Organization expects that natural sweeteners can capture approximately 20 percent of that market. That would mean a potential market size of approximately $20 billion. If Stevia First could capture just 5 percent of that market, the company could likely become a billion dollar company.
Investors should keep in mind that the companies mentioned in this article carry additional risk as they try to build their products and capture additional customers. The need for additional funding could be required at some point in the future which may result in a share price adjustment. As always, investors should due their proper due diligence before investing and should always adhere to the principal of diversification.
