Bitcoin is rising and blockchain technology getting appeal into the finance picuture. But few institution talking about the conflict of blockchain technology. Here is the answer for your quries:
Conflict of Blockchain Technology
One person attempted civility to the ventilation is ShapeShift.io CEO Erik Voorhees. Voorhees was interviewed in checking account to the Bitcoin.com Podcast, and he shared his views in the region of Blockstreams shout of blend in regards to the Bitcoin process.
The block size limit spilled into 2016, and appear as even if there is an fade away in sight for what should be a mostly nameless debate along along together with developers. Hacker attacks have been spotted going around for both the little and large block size camps, further conspiracy theories roughly Blockstream becoming one of the common criticisms of Bitcoin Cores credited roadmap.
A Conflict Does Exist
Voorhees was bluntly asked on the order of his thoughts coarsely Blockstreams govern in the region of extremity of Bitcoin Core proceed during the interview, and Voorhees did not hesitate to part his recommendation. The ShapeShift.io CEO first cutting out that Blockstreams take effect of mix does exist, but its not necessarily a problem.
Voorhees avowed:
They seem to have a attainment of union; thats not necessarily bad or a manipulation. Conflicts of appeal exist everywhere every single one the be credited taking into account late buildup; no ones immune from them.
Voorhees went concerning to run by that Blockstream should not be demonized for having a scalability utter that could manner sensitive a small block size limit:
I dont think Blockstream should be vilified for having a hopeless that may be more disturbed if blocks are small, and it does not direct that the Core developers are corrupted into making Bitcoin worse for the afterward of one company.
Conspiracy theories as regards Blockstreams motives and revenue streams have control rampant nearly /r/btc. These theories are usually based concerning the idea that Blockstream is attempting to force Bitcoin users off the main Bitcoin blockchain and onto sidechains or the Lightning Network.
Blockstreams Allegiances are gone Bitcoin
Blockstreams executives and employees have been flesh and blood bearing in mind Bitcoin for quite some times. In his view, it makes shrewdness for their allegiances to be more amalgamated at the back Bitcoin than their own company.

We have previously written about the fact that hiring a divorce attorney is necessary, even if your split is likely to be reasonably amicable. This reality can be intimidating to some individuals who are apprehensive about the amount of attorney's fees that their divorce will result in. Thankfully, there are few reasons why you would ever need to use your attorney's services in ways that make your divorce and/or child custody dispute financially unmanageable.
When a collaborative split may not be the best idea
We frequently write about the advantages of amicable and collaborative divorces between married partners and splits between unmarried, cohabitating couples. When separations of any kind are amicable, fair, collaborative and cooperative, they tend to be less costly and less time-consuming than contentious, litigated divorce cases. However, an amicable and collaborative approach is not one that should be embraced by all couples.
Please be careful on social media during your divorce process
We have mentioned previously that posts and pictures on social media are increasingly being used as evidence in family law disputes. However, this trend is becoming so pervasive that it is now arguably critical that you temporarily suspend activity on social media accounts if you are involved in a divorce or child custody case.
Divorcing in the middle of a build or a remodel
It is no secret that remodeling or building a home can be expensive and time consuming. From the discovery of a hidden mold problem to the difficulty of choosing new fixtures and design elements, this process can also create stress that almost inevitably weighs on a family while the project is ongoing or recently completed. In some cases, the difficulties experienced during a home renovation project may speak to larger issues that eventually give way to the end of a relationship when the project is finished.
Expecting the unexpected when it comes to family law disputes
When you file for divorce or file a claim in a child custody dispute, a domestic violence case or any other family law matter, you inevitably develop a set of expectations about how the legal process will develop and resolve. This is a completely normal reaction to filing something as personal as a family law claim. However, it is important to prepare for several things that you may not expect in addition to the things that you do expect will occur before your family law dispute finally resolves.
Could your divorce benefit from some 'extra' expert advice?
If you and your spouse have decided that it is time to move on from your relationship, you are likely facing a host of financial, relationship and lifestyle decisions that will substantially impact your future. If you and your spouse have few debts, few assets and are likely to have a relatively amicable split, then you may be able to navigate your divorce with only the aid of an experienced family law attorney. However, if your split is likely to be characterized as a complex divorce for any reason, you may benefit from additional expert advice.
How divorce can affect an individual's physical well-being
We have previously written about the importance of taking care of yourself while navigating a family law dispute. Failure to do so can lead you to act in ways that may compromise the outcome of your case. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to take excellent care of yourself during divorce or a child custody dispute, for example, as these often challenging proceedings can take a toll on your health. Working to combat these often unforeseen side effects of family law disputes can help you to regain your health and your sanity as well as put you in the best mental and physical place to fight for your dispute-related goals.
Divorce and year-round tax considerations
Tax season has come and gone for 2013. However, taxes are not simply a reality to be dealt with every April. Several divorce and tax issues impact separating couples during the divorce process, immediately afterward and year-round. Failure to take certain tax-related considerations into your divorce planning, property separation agreement and child custody arrangements can directly impact your financial future. This simple fact makes it vitally important that you discuss tax-related issues with your family law attorney, whatever the nature of your dispute happens to be.
Think twice before using dating websites during divorce
When a couple decides to separate, the decision may be either sudden or it may have been imminent for quite some time. Because each divorce is unique, it comes as no surprise that individuals respond differently to this decision and to the stresses of the process. Oftentimes, if divorce has been looming for months or years, newly single individuals find empowerment by jumping back into the dating pool.

Janice Wallace Goes on a High Caloric Diet
(posted 6/15/2005) - My mother has been feeling very poorly since May 16th. She was admitted to hospital for dehydration and severe pain and nausea twice in May. After a number of tests (blood, CT-scans, biopsy of temporal artery, echocardiogram) found no positive indications of disease, she was advised to go on a high protein/carbohydrate diet intended to replace the 15 pounds she lost in the last month.
My mom suffers from chronic Atrial Fibrillation, which manifests as a variational heart rate and heightened blood pressure in the 'controlled' state. This condition makes one more sensitive to physical / emotional stresses. It is possible that a viral cold-like infection amplified her AF symptoms for about 3 weeks, resulting in her pain and her appetite loss.
Under stress conditions her resting BP may hover around 190/110 and her heart rate move between 85-105 (still well below classic Atrial Fib rates of 150 bps). When these conditions persist my mom gets nauseous, suffers dibilitating headache and is unable to concentrate -- so it is obviously desirable to reduce the incidence of such events.
The current program of increased caloric intake is in response to my mother's dramatic weight loss over the last 30 days -- when she felt very ill she ate too sparingly, and has lost weight and strength. She is now logging her meals of standard high-protein/high-carb foods and drinks and we will see if her feeling of wellness improves as she increases her intake over the next two weeks.
Jan's family and friends are of course concerned and hope for a speedy recovery. On a positive note, over the last week her general sense of well-being has improved, and she is sleeping comfortably through the night. We all wish Jan the best.

With pCloud, your files are stored on at least three server locations in a highly secure data storage area. Optionally, you can subscribe for pCloud Crypto and have your most important files encrypted and password protected. We provide the so called client-side encryption, which, unlike server-side encryption, means that no one, except you will, have the keys for file decryption.
They use industry standard 4096-bit RSA for users' private keys and 256-bit AES for per-file and per-folder keys. We do data authentication in a different way compared to most competitors. Authentication is the process of verifying that you decrypted data the right data. Many experts consider it a mandatory part of encryption.

"And take...the sword of
the Spirit, which is the word of God" (Eph. 6:17)
In this issue:
the present conflict in Iraq, as during other wars, the yellow ribbon serves
as a symbol of hopeful anticipation for the safe return of loved ones.
Perhaps that is the inspiration for the following "idea" we received in an
e-mail this past week (it was not signed by the sender). It read:
"I have
an idea for a ribbon program that I would like to share. I would like to see
the Church of Christ support the return of Jesus Christ by representing and
wearing "Purple Ribbons" as a sign and relief for His imminent
return. Decorating the church with purple ribbons during services is
a powerful message on the return of Christ! All of our children should be
aware of the greatest event that the world will ever experience. And the
purple ribbons will represent "His return in the sky and not on the land,"
and the purple ribbons will be honored in His imminent return. I believe
that this would be a wonderful program for our children to engage in,
actively participating in something special and positive! Thanks for your
There are several things we are compelled to say in response to this post (I
will be sending a copy of this article back to this individual). What we
say is not generated from a heart of malice or strife. This is not written
with animosity, but with a genuine appeal to come back to the Bible and to
speak as the oracles of God (1 Pet.
It is a call to establish Bible authority (the approval of heaven) for all
we do in the name of Christ (Col. 3:17).
We do not question this person's sincerity – clearly he or she is earnest.
Herein lies our first lesson: sincerity does not establish what is approved
in the sight of God. Shall we accept and practice every "idea" generated by
a sincere heart? If so, let us hurriedly introduce sprinkling for baptism
(which began in a sincere effort to address the demands of deathbed
repentance). And, let us not forget to make room for the instrument of
music in our worship services (on which we can certainly attach some of our
purple ribbons!). I have an idea: let's have a Red Ribbon Program in
December as a "powerful message" of the birth of Jesus, and a Green Ribbon
Program in the spring because "our children should be aware" of the
resurrection of Jesus!
You see,
dear friend, when sincere ideas provide the basis for what the church does
and teaches it is no longer "the pillar and ground of the truth" (1
Tim. 3:15). The Bible says "There is a way that seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death" (Prov. 16:25). What we need in order
to accept and promote as "positive" for the church to do is the book,
chapter and verse that allows a church to have a "ribbon program" at all,
much less a Purple Ribbon Day.
This person is not alone in this approach to the work of the
church. More and more brethren are coming up with their own "ideas" which
are not rooted in a "thus saith the Lord" of the Scriptures but in
the customs and traditions of men. We are seeing increasing evidence of
this in such things as "Youth Seminars" and "Women's Retreats". One church
of Christ recently had what it called an "Oasis Praise weekend" for its
youth, and now intends to develop "it's (sic) work and it's (sic) mission to
the community". This is not speaking as the oracles of God! We ask of them
the same questions we pose concerning purple ribbons: "By what authority
are you doing these things? And who gave you this authority?" … is it "from
heaven or from men?" (Matt. 21:23, 25)
Christ warned of and scolded such
"ideas" of men (however well-intentioned) by quoting Isaiah the prophet:
"'These people draw near to Me with their
mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. And in
vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'"
(Matt. 15:8-9)
Again, the apostle Paul cautioned against things that "have an appearance of
wisdom in self-imposed religion" but were in fact "the commandments and
doctrines of men" (Col. 2:23). Because there is no Bible support for
churches to have Ribbon Days, we will not be having one. Does that mean we
do not believe in the return of Christ? Of course not. But, we do not
believe the Lord teaches us to anticipate it by wearing purple ribbons "as a
sign and relief for His imminent return."
As for the "imminent return" of
Christ, when Jesus returns has not been revealed to us.
"But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have
no need that I should write to you. 2 For you yourselves know perfectly
that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 3 For when they
say, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor
pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. 4 But you,
brethren, are not in
darkness, so that this Day
should overtake you as a thief."
(1 Ths. 5:1-4)
Let us prepare for the Lord's return by following His inspired Scriptures to
walk by faith, not by the "sight" of humanly-devised customs that have
nothing to do with His return (2 Cor. 5:7).
When our correspondent says
"decorating the church with purple ribbons during services is a powerful
message on the return of Christ" he/she reveals at least two additional
problems at the heart of the Purple Ribbon Day idea. First, "the church" is
not the building which one can "decorate". It is the body of Christians –
those who are called by the gospel out of the world of sin into salvation in
Christ (Matt.
16:18; Acts 2:47; 1 Pet. 2:9-10). "Church of Christ" is not a
denominational title; it is a statement of possession (the church that
belongs to Christ, Matt.
Rom. 16:16). To use the phrase "Church of Christ" as does our purple ribbon
promoter indicates, at best, a failure to understand New Testament teaching
about the church, or at worst, that error has already embedded itself within
the heart. When we forget what the church is we are indeed on a path of
digression. Secondly, the church of Christ already has a "powerful message
on the return of Christ" at its disposal – a "special and positive" message
which will help our children "be aware of the greatest event that the world
will ever experience". That powerful message is the New Testament of Jesus
Christ! Why not spend time immersing ourselves and our children in Bible
teaching and preaching which sounds forth the truth of His return (Acts
1:11; 1 Cor. 15:20-27; Phil. 3:20-21; 1 Ths. 4:13-5:11; 2 Ths. 1:7-10; 2
Pet. 3:1-13)? After all, faith comes by hearing the word of God, not by
tying purple ribbons on the old oak pulpit (Rom. 10:17).
We appreciate the zeal for God seen in the idea of a Purple Ribbon
Program, although it is a zeal that is "not according to knowledge"
(Rom. 10:2). Our plea is that we all love and follow the authority of
Christ, not the ideas of men.

Knowing the Time
Joe R. Price
It's time to "spring" ahead one
hour – Daylight-savings time is here again (for most of this country). We
are also reminded to do other things this time of year, like replace the
batteries in smoke alarms.
The Bible tells us we should know
what time it is, not meaning the time of day, but the occasion before us to
believe and obey the gospel of Christ in our lives. The apostle of Christ
And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of
sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. 12 The
night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works
of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. 13 Let us walk
properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and
lust, not in strife and envy. 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and
make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.
(Rom. 13:11-14)
It is time to wake up
(v. 11)! Spiritual apathy and neglect will cause the souls of many
Christians to be lost. Jesus warned "because lawlessness will abound,
the love of many will grow cold; so, He admonished that "he who
endures to the end shall be saved" (Matt. 24:12-13). If you are not
living the life a Christian should, wake up and get right with the Lord
It is time to clean up
(vss. 12-13)! When you obeyed the gospel of Christ and because a Christian
you began a new life in Christ (Rom. 6:4). It is now imperative that you
cast off the darkness of sin and walk in the light of truth (1 Jno. 1:6-7):
"crucify the flesh with its passions and desires" (Gal. 5:24).
It is time to grow up
(v. 14)! Christians must commit themselves to spiritual growth. One way of
doing so is to "put on Christ" by carefully avoiding those things which
entice one to sin. Love God, not the world (1 Jno. 2:15-17). Go on to
maturity, exercising yourself toward godliness (Heb. 6:1; 1 Tim. 4:7).

After tagging over 500 bluefin tuna, researchers have determined that the internal temperature of Bluefin Tuna can be used to indentify where the fish feed and how impact ocean temperatures impact them. This discovery will help conservationists better protect the threatened species.
A recent eradication process removed 242 non-native arctic foxes from Chirikof Island in Alaska. The invasive species was originally introduced for fur farming but has since become a nuisance, threatening natural habitats and bird populations.
Brazilian authorities regularly publish "blacklists," where they name and shame communities responsible for illegal deforestation. This strategy has increased law enforcement and decreased tree loss experienced in Amazon forests.

In September, American Girl will release its newest member of the historical doll line, Julie. Julie is a nine-year old girl in 1974, growing up in San Francisco along with her best friend Ivy. Their stories revolve around the events of the time from women's rights, title IX, coping with a move, her parents' divorce and more.
As a Mom, it is kind of hard to believe that "we" are now "history"! I don't feel old enough to be history, but I was nine in 1977 and so many of my friends were 9 year olds in the 70s too. I am looking forward to discovering Julie and Ivy's stories with my daughters. I'm sure that much of the history presented through the stories will mean more to me now than they did when it was actually happening.
Julie, Ivy and their collection are due out in the American Girl catalog, the web site and at the American Girl Place stores in September, but they are already starting to make news and create buzz. Here are links to some of the news stories I have found this week:

Be sure that you have a blog, and keep the content fresh with helpful information. Post any sale or promotion you may be having to your blog. Also be sure to post about changes to your business, such as grand openings of new stores, changes to your hours of operation, or going-out-of-business sales. Don't forget to include this information in your blog posts.
One of the best ways that companies can market their business and products is through social media marketing. It is also new and relatively unexplored territory. Anyone can successfully promote their businesses by using social media sites, and the plus side is that the potential for customers is limitless. Keep reading to get started with social media marketing.
What will your strategy entail? If you waste time and money chasing hot social trends, only to change course when something new comes along, your efforts will leave you with several dead ends. Plan out your strategy, make sure it is detailed, and follow it.
When it comes to social media marketing the right way, it's all about the titles. It doesn't matter where you're leaving a post, you should focus on the right type of title. If your headlines lure readers in, chances are they will go wherever they are directed.
Be approachable and friendly when addressing your social media followers. Even if your company is massive, followers won't be impressed by posts that are filled with arrogance. Always remember that you're not more important than your customers and followers. Here are the cornerstones of success.
Twitter Followers
Offer discounts exclusively to people who join your page to encourage customers to "like" it on Facebook or follow it on Twitter. Your customers will enjoy having access to limited offers and will be more likely to buy something from you.
Always update your Twitter followers about any new posts you make on your blog, and place a "retweet" alongside your updates. Your followers can then share your blog update with their own Twitter followers quite easily. It increases the amount of potential people you can connect with.
Understand that social networks aren't just another billboard where you passively post content for visitors to look at. You can become better acquainted with your customers by using social media. This also allows you to develop brand interaction. Yes, you can discuss your products through social media, but it is a more powerful tool if you consider it a sort of customer relations.
Keep in mind what a conversation really is. Do not make the common mistake of neglecting to use customer feedback as a means of learning more about your target market. Don't just simply respond, have a conversation with your customers. Try to be as engaging and passionate as you possibly can so that you can make the customer feel like they're being catered to.
It is important to never rely on a single channel when it comes to social media marketing. It is easier to reach a broader market by using several different outlets. It will also help you use more tools that are available to you.
Social Media
If you have established an RSS feed, include subscription buttons in social media profiles. This can help blog readers get to your social media. Making it simpler for people to find and follow you improves the effectiveness of your social media marketing.
If you join a social media site, tell your existing customers that you have done so. Encourage them to join your page, as the social media venues will likely let all of their friends and associates in their network know that they have joined your pages. This is essentially free advertising and should not be underestimated. This is basically a referral which can really help your business.
Put a "Like" button for Facebook on your blog, so people don't have to exit your site to use this. Since it is easy to do, chances are your readers will do it. Anything that makes it easier on your reader makes it more likely that he or she will come back to read what you have to say.
You should put a 'like' box on Facebook on the top of your blog page. People will find it easier to like your page and give you more of a fan base. They don't even have to leave your blog to do it. This means that they never have to leave. It's something really simple but incredibly convenient that can help you increase your network a lot.
YouTube offers a great medium to market the services and products of your business. Periodically make video blogs about your product line, or discuss recent news and developments in your business. These videos can go on YouTube and your blog, so that you double your exposure.
As you have no doubt witnessed, a growing number of businesses are employing marketing campaigns through social media, because significant returns can be gained for minimal cost. Put this advice to work for your business and see an immediate increase in the number of customers you can reach and the positive impact it can have on your bottom line.
For more success in social media marketing, you should automate YouTube. Whenever you set up your YouTube account and post a video, it is desirable to auto-post a portion of your business's social sites. It just takes a few moments in your account settings to do this.

Yoenis Cespedes is going to be opting out of his contract any day now and will become one of the hottest commodities of this offseason. Early reports indicate that he once again in looking for a contract north of $100 million and he wants a five year deal.
Cespedes, 31, will be entering a very weak free agent class that will be headlined by Jose Bautista, Edwin Encarnacion, and Cespedes himself. This is the biggest reason to believe that he will get a contract close to the one he desires. He also had a good year this year as he improved his pitch selection and had his best on base percentage (.351) since his rookie year, along with 31 home runs and 86 RBIs. Despite these numbers I do not think that he will be offered a five year contract.
For one, he did not get the big mega deal he was looking for last offseason. Following the Mets' World Series run last year, Cespedes got his first taste of free agency and it was not kind to him. Yoenis was coming off of a 57 game stretch with the Mets where he put the team on his back and led them to the playoffs. His numbers in those 57 games were 17 home runs, 44 RBIs and a slash line of .287/.337/.604. He also won the gold glove in the American League for his work in only 102 games for the Tigers.
Cespedes showed in 2015 that he could play a capable center field for a team that had two corner outfielders already in place.
Finally, he had the advantage of going into free agency without a qualifying offer extended to him because he was traded in mid season. Yet Cespedes had to wait until late January to get a contract and it wasn't the one that he wanted. His best offer was a predominantly backloaded deal from the Nationals until he re-signed with the Mets.
Some will point to a stronger free agent class last year as to why Cespedes did not get his big deal, but the top outfielders other than Yoenis were Jason Heyward, Justin Upton, and Alex Gordon. None of those players were viewed as superior to Cespedes but they all signed before he did.
As Yoenis Cespedes enters this offseason, a lot has changed. He will enter free agency a year older and on the wrong side of 30, he has proven that he cannot play center field, and he will now have a qualifying offer attached to him as well.
History could very well repeat itself this offseason. Cespedes will go out and test the market, and when he doesn't get the contract he is looking for he could end up coming back to the Mets to try and get something done. My prediction is that he either signs a contract that is nearly identical to the one he signed last year, a front loaded three year deal with an opt out, or the Mets or some other team gives him a guaranteed fourth year but not a fifth.

Company Kicks Off Its Digital Marketing Campaign With Giveaways and Sweepstakes in Time for Father's Day
Company Kicks Off Its Digital Marketing Campaign With Giveaways and Sweepstakes in Time for Father's Day
BOCA RATON, FL--(Marketwire - Jun 5, 2012) - Margaritaville® Cargo announces the launch of the Mixed Drink Maker landing page -- www.TheMixedDrinkMaker.com -- as the first phase of its digital marketing campaign for the Mixed Drink Maker, the only home appliance that makes 48 different cocktails at the push of a button. In mid-June, the company will unveil the second part of the campaign, its free mobile application, Party It Up(SM).
On the Mixed Drink Maker landing page, users can customize Facebook Timeline covers by filling templates with fun user profile content such as comments, photos and Likes. The company will also use the page to generate excitement for the Mixed Drink Maker with special giveaways and sweepstakes. Party It Up(SM) will help hosts create parties from scratch and enable everyone who is invited to interact and see what people are bringing to the party.
"As we are getting close to Father's Day and summer cookouts are already heating up, we developed the perfect app to host a flawless party and Timeline covers to share the fun," said Heather Turner, Margaritaville® Cargo's Product Manager. "With Party It Up(SM), hosts can customize what they want guests to bring and guests can create their own twist by adding something special they want to contribute. Each guest can then share the highlights of the same party with friends by 'mixing' their own 'Social Cocktail.'"
Margaritaville® Cargo Mixed Drink Maker Landing Page
The Mixed Drink Maker landing page features an application that lets users create new Facebook Timeline covers, "Social Cocktails," which are fun, imaginative and customized. The landing page is easy to use: users connect via Facebook, choose from one of the customizable themes and hit the MIX button. The online tool will take photos, items the user Likes and comments from one's Facebook profile to design a unique "Social Cocktail" Timeline cover. Don't like the cover? Just hit the MIX button again. Users who prefer text over photos can choose among the themes that create a custom message, which is artistically placed in the "Social Cocktail." All that's left to do is download the new cover and post it on Facebook. The final, fun step is a personalized cocktail that is 'mixed' based on a user's profile and preferences.
On the Mixed Drink Maker landing page, users will also have a chance to buy the Margaritaville® Cargo Mixed Drink Maker. The first 1,000 people to buy the product will receive a free Chillin' Pour Liquor Chiller, valued at $199.99. Users may also enter Margaritaville® Cargo's sweepstakes for a chance to win prizes such as the Salt & Lime Trays and Margaritaville® branded sunglasses.
Party It Up(SM) Mobile Application
No more making multiple phone calls, emailing every guest or receiving calls from guests asking what they should bring to the party. With Party It Up(SM), every guest has all of the details for the fun night out at their fingertips. The app lets users invite guests by sending invitations directly to their friends on Facebook or to their mobile phones if they also have the app.
Party It Up(SM) has everything a party could need covered. Hosts can choose from a long list of suggested items that guests can bring, including specific foods, drinks, games and music. Guests can see what others are bringing so multiple guests do not bring the same item.
Party It Up(SM) will be available on the Mixed Drink Maker landing page, iTunes App Store and Google Play by mid-June.
The Margaritaville® Mixed Drink Maker
The Margaritaville® Mixed Drink Maker was developed to fill the need for a product that would easily make a fun variety of cocktails. Rather than spending the evening behind the bar, the MDM allows hosts to do what people like to do best at a party -- socialize. The Margaritaville® brand mixologists concocted the perfect blends for 48 of the most popular cocktails using three liquor types: tequila, vodka and rum. A party host/hostess simply has to select his/her favorite cocktail from the easy-to-read digital display, push a button and the perfectly mixed cocktail is created in minutes. To stir things up, the "I Feel Lucky" button chooses a drink at random and the "Strong Pour" adds an extra ounce of liquor. The Mixed Drink Maker retails for $299.99.

How to Measure Blinds
For all measurements,use a steel tape measure only
Inside Mount
Window blinds are installed inside the window casing.
Step 1: Measure the inside of window frame in 3 places: the top, middle and bottom.
Record the narrowest width. Then reduce to 5mm (about 0.2inch),we would not deduct, if you need us to deduct please inform us.
Step 2: Measure the height at 3 places: left side, middle and right side. if horizontal blinds record the longest height, if for vertical blinds record shortest height.
Tip: inside mount window depth for without cover type need about 5cm(2 inch), for with cover type need about 8cm(3 inch)
Outside Mount
Window blinds are mounted outside the window casing and provide better privacy,mount directly on the wall or to the window molding.
Step 1: Measure the width of the area you want to cover. We recommend adding at least 10-20mm(4"-8") to your measurement (2" or 4" on each side) to help eliminate light gaps and ensure privacy. That need to depends on your installed environment.both sides if have enough space to cover and window if side by side.
Step 2: Measure the height of the area you want to cover. We recommend adding at least 20mm(8") to cover the whole window. If vertical blinds for door to floor that height could not add.
Why my blinds width≠blinds fabric width?
Width make from end cap to end cap included mechanism, the bracket and the mechanism will take some distance on both sides , that is why the fabric width is always narrower than the blinds width, usually fabric width smaller than blinds with about 25mm(1inch)
Measure Tips
• Always use a metal tape measure.
• We require your measurements in millimeter, if you offer in inch that we will convert into millimeter for production. However label we still stick inch that you can find easily when you receive.
• Measure width x height (drop )(do not reverse these).the production is based on first size for width from left to right measure and second size for height from top to bottom measure. Please be carefully and offer correct measurements and do not be reverse.Always clearly indicate which measurement is the width and which is the height.
• Measure every window. There may be slight variation that may affect your window furnishings fitting perfectly. Some windows looks like the same measurements in fact that would still be a bit different, to make sure every window had been measured. For inside mount that must be carefully if too tight that could not be fit well.
• Do not take your measurements from house plans as they will not be accurate.when all finished and install all the windows, then measure one by one.
• If measuring with a partner, make sure they repeat the measurements out loud as they write them down.When all write down that should be double check.
• Double check all details are correct before ordering,when arrange for production that could not modify from small sizes to bigger sizes. So please double check all measurements when you send payment. measure at least twice before recording your final measurement.
Mounting Considerations
Why Choose an Inside Mount?
Clean look,allows for showcasing attractive.
Things To Consider:
1) Deductions and light gaps: a small deduction in width is taken to ensure proper operating clearance,this gap may affect the blinds ability to darken a room.
2) Obstructed views:when fully opened,the stack(compressed portion of the blinds)will obstruct part if view from your window,stack height will vary by product and size.
3) Architectural obstacles:obstacles such as handles and cranks can interfere with operation of the inside mount blinds.
4) Depth considerations:be sure your window meets the minimum depth requirements for installation.
Why Choose an Outside Mount?
1)Improve privacy and light control:light gaps on the both sides of blinds can be substantially diminished or eliminated.
2)Fewer installation limitations:ideal for covering non-square windows or if you want an unobstructed view then fully opened.
3)Fewer architectural obstacles:clears obstacles like handles and cranks.

Consumer Engagement: The Power of Creating a Transcendent Experience
William Espey is the driving force responsible for developing Chipotle's unique brand voice, delivering best practices on branding, values integration, and the power of creating a lasting connection with customers.
Since William started with Chipotle Mexican Grill as its sole marketing creative when the company had less than 20 locations, he has helped the brand flourish to more than 2,000 restaurants and counting in the U.S. and abroad. From customer-facing advertising to internal communications, he eschewed canned, calculated, and characteristically corporate approaches to marketing strategy, instead developing Chipotle's award-winning brand voice organically, purposefully, and authentically, as a personal expression of the company's unique values and culture.
To create a lasting connection with customers, companies need to create an over-all brand experience that engages the audience in a way that, for at least a moment, is transcendent. Like getting lost in a a good film or a book's plotline, a complete brand experience can have the same effect -- captivating customers and leaving them craving more. In his keynote, William will explore what he calls Transcendental Motivation and how it can create consumer engagement that goes beyond a single transaction.

I always, without failure, chose the slowest cashier at the grocery store. I'm also pretty good at chosing the slowest lane of traffic. All this despite a combined 5 years working at a grocery store and pizza delivery.

Shimano started making 11-25 cassettes! I ran an 11-23 all this year and I couldn't tell you how the extra 16 tooth cog felt different than the old 16t-less nine speed. It could just be that I spent all those years mountain biking (or that I still ride a single to work every day), but I've never felt the need for a corn cob cassette. I have, on occasion (Bear Mtn comes to mind), wished for a lower gear. Also, with an 11-25 and a 42 tooth, you can spend a lot less time shifting and have cleaner shifts up front when you need to.

How to win a sprint, by Tom Boonen
Or, How to come in second, despite having better fitness, by Tyler Farrar.
I've been waiting for an American sprinter to show some form for a while now, so watching Farrar these last few months has been a real treat. He's got a lot of potential but still a little rough around the edges, as Tom Boonen shows here.
From the beginning of the of the last turn, it begins to unravel for Farrar. Follow Boonen's Red, Yellow and Black through the video to see whats going on.
2:01 The peleton enters the last turn; Boonen is just inside and behind Farrar.
2:02 Boonen takes a tight inside line while Farrar takes a wobbly outside line
2:04 The group comes out of the turn and Boonen and Farrar bump, Farrar cedes the better line.
2:06 Behind Boonen, Farrar fights with Chicchi for Boonen's wheel and eventually wins it.
2:10 Farrar is forced to close the gap that opened while he was fighting for Boonen's wheel. All this while Boonen has had a clean, steady wheel to follow
2:18 Farrar is still in good position, on Boonen's wheel inside of 500 meters. Boonen has a slightly better position behind Mark Renshaw (aka the reason Cav won all those tour stages), but Farrar should have a good enough sprint to make up the difference.
2:20 Boonen starts his acceleration and moves right, Farrar slides to Boonen's right. This is the key point in the sprint, Tyler needs to make use of the open space to the right and accelerate past Boonen or back off and wait for a differnt line, but instead hesistates.
2:21 Farrar starts his acceleration, but it is too late.
2:23 Boonen has moved right and closed the hole Farrar was trying to use.
2:24 Farrar has to stop and restart his sprint to the left.
2:26 Farrar is boxed in by Renshaw and has to wait to come around Boonen.
2:28 Enough of a gap opens that Farrar can accelerate, but he's within 50 meters now and doesn't have the space to get around Boonen.
All of this happens in less than 30 seconds and its never a bad thing to be runner up to a guy with Tom's resume, but if Tyler had made just a single decision differently, he would have had an easy win. Tom illustrates how the right moves can make up a big difference in fitness at the end of a race. Nevertheless, Tyler has shown to be in the top level of Euro sprinters which is the first time an American has been there.

First Try at Track Racing
Yesterday I picked up Mark and headed down to the Kissena velodrome to give track racing a try. I borrowed a bike (a Gitane!) and entered the cat 5 race. Mark was nice enough to give me a few tips as we warmed up. Apparently it worked, cuz I won the three races I entered, the Win and Out, Points and Scratch races. Hopefully I can make it back next week to race on the track some more.
During the racing I got to meet no one line and some other cool trackies. I like small events, people are a little more friendly when there aren't 150 people in a race. Kind of reminded me of ski jumping.

Short Thoughts
If you scroll down and listen, Jens Voigt reluctently says he won't ride this years Tour of Denmark, which I guess implies he was planning on riding it before his horrific crash. I didn't realize it until now, but the Tour of Denmark starts only 2 days after the other Tour finished. Thats 26 days of racing over one month. Wow.
Giant is releasing some light mountain bikes next year. They're offering a Reign X frame with almost 7" of travel that comes in just over 6 pounds. For comparison, the '06 BMC Fourstroke I sometimes race on weighs about the same.
If you like watching the Classics (races, that is) you need to be watching Cyclocosm's How the Race Was Won. His blog is alright, but these 3 minute highlight reels break down the race in frightening detail. He's at his best covering one day races, where skill and guile can make up for brute strength and every little tactical move is important.
I've added a link to the side to search my blog. Everyone should have one of these in their blogs, since blogs are a sort of personal history.

Cadence number 6
The sprints went alright. I snagged the first one with a little effort. They rang the bell again a lap later and it was time to work again. John helped me out both times, but I was caught a little flat footed the second time around and was runner up. First and second gave me 5 more points, enough to get past the current leader with 8 points, but someone got 3 more points and was able to sneak past both of us. So, no green jersey's for me.
After that it was help out Larry time. He got pretty good leadouts for both KOMs and now he has first place in the bag. In the final sprint he was boxed out and too far back for any points. Luckily, second place in the GC didn't get any points either, but Larry's got a really slim lead going into next week and is going to need a good result to finish in the top spot.
The cat 4's were especially excitable. In addition to the usually yelling and hand waving, on the final lap I heard guys yelling out "hold your line in the turn" and "don't cut me off". Um, what? This is bike racing. The whole point of the race is to finish ahead of you. If I have the skills to take your spot in the field, without causing a crash, I'm going to. If you don't like fighting for a wheel, enter a time trial.

It doesn't take more than 5 minutes of hearing Jeff Discher speak to know he is a motivated individual. He sits in front of me, smile on his face and I struggle to equate the visual with the words coming out of his mouth. He's wearing an impeccable suit, a known timepiece on his wrist, and shoes that are so shiny you can see your face in them. And yet, the man before me is humble and animated- hands moving rapidly and quickly as he reflects on his career and childhood in San Diego.
He smiles as I ask my favorite question to anyone I talk to- "What did you like doing as a child". He smiles as he begins to tell me a story that is anything but ordinary. It's a story about overcoming obstacles, being an underdog, but above all persevering and seeking knowledge when you need to. It's no surprise then that while most kids spent their time growing up riding bikes, going to camp, and playing. Jeff chose a different route. His entrepreneurial spirit began early. There was something about creating something that had him hooked- and his hard work paid off. From an early age, he was starting businesses and trying to get his friends to do the same. He would find items that were broken, fix them up, and then resell them at up to four times their purchase price. He found a motivator early on that garnered him a strong work ethic- the financial rewards of creating something and being able to be compensated for his work. When he wasn't sure what to do- he would look up in a book the steps he needed to complete a task. He made a mini empire by the age of 13, when kids were games- Jeff was making deals- and turning a profit.
I met Jeff a few months ago. We both were founding members of The Collective Access, an organization dedicated to formulating success for the underserved in San Diego, CA. I had heard about him- but wasn't particularly motivated to get to know him. Truth be told there are tons of people that do Real Estate in our city, but very few who have the work ethic to stay in the business in good times and in bad. The minute I met him- I knew I was talking to a multi-dimensional individual. He is dynamic, bright, motivated, and willing to do work. To know him today you would never guess his humble beginnings. Every conversation has a moment of learning on both sides. Early on his career, he focused on fitness, training some of San Diego' elite business executives. He accomplished what most trainers dream of, a steady schedule, premier clients, and the ability to build his brand.
Like most stories, it was an outsider who saw Jeff's potential. There are moments when those around us can see potential we have not fully realized.
A client who was in the mortgage industry offered him the opportunity to pursue business development. He was able to refer one client, then several, and build up a significant referral path. It was so large in fact, that he wondered why he couldn't do this same line of work himself.
The entrepreneurial pivot took place and he began to focus on Real Estate. In 2006 he ranked in the top 20 out of 500 agents in his real estate firm. In 2006, he received his broker's license. Less than a year and half later, he took pause to focus and evaluate what he truly wanted in his life. After soul searching he realized- his relationships had always been the key to success. He loved meeting an array of different people from all walks of life that wanted to take the next step in their Real Estate Process. It comes as no surprise to anyone that knows him that he puts that level of effort and energy into his brokerage, Discher Real Estate Group, a division of Canter Companies. The countless testimonials from his clients- formal and informal- all attest to the qualities that Jeff has exhibited since early childhood.
Jeff reads an average of 3-5 books a month- In topics ranging from health and fitness to mindfulness and developing business acumen. The word "no" does not exist in his vocabulary. He also believes when he encounters an obstacle, it is his mission to learn as much as he can to help overcome it. It's incredibly refreshing to dialogue with him because he expresses a true interest in people and problem solving. It's no wonder his clients benefit from his unique perspectives and negotiation skills.
Most recently, he has mentored and brought an agent who is in the midst of a military transition. Most employers don't understand how a military skill set can apply in the civilian workforce- but not Jeff. Jeff saw in Ben Biggs, his newest addition and newly retired veteran, a person who had the drive to succeed. Jeff's unique ability to see potential and nurture his team and clients translates to his success in the San Diego Real Estate Sphere of Influence. Think I'm lying? Check out his testimonials here.
The best part of this? He's not content to be a one trick pony. On top of his Real Estate career, he has also invested in several businesses within the community- creating job opportunities for local San Diegans to help them reach their goals. Limits don't exist for Jeff Discher.

Louisville's booming bats and two rain delays brought an early end to Michael Roth's work on Monday night.
The Durham Bulls lefthander endured a rough outing, allowing three home runs in a 5-2 Louisville win at Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
The International League game saw a pair of 33-minute rain delays with the Bulls removing Roth after the second one in the top of the fourth inning.
At that point, he'd allowed four runs on six hits over just 3 ⅓ innings. He needed 82 pitches to secure those 10 outs.

"He's been better his last couple of starts," Bulls manager Jared Sandberg said of Roth. "Obviously he wants to keep the ball in the ballpark. But what happened after the second delay was there were just too many variables. He needed to come out of the game. Pitch counts. Long delays. Our long inning. The smart thing to do was to get him out of there. But he wanted to keep going."
Adam Brett Walker and Scott Van Slyke crushed back-to-back solo home runs to give Louisville a 2-0 first-inning lead.
In the second inning, Alex Blandino clubbed a solo home run to center field and Darnell Sweeney lined an RBI triple to the wall in left-centerfield for a 4-0 Bats lead.
Durham got a run back in the third inning on Willy Adames' RBI single with the bases loaded. But Bulls were unable to add any more runs to cut further into their deficit in the inning.
Louisville got the run back in the top of the fourth inning, after the game's second rain delay, on a Phillip Ervin RBI single off Durham relief pitcher Chih-Wei Hu for a 5-1 lead.

This was my first ever attempt at making guacamole and oh man, was it good!
- 1 avocado smashed
- 1 medium sized tomato diced
- 1/4 of a small onion minced (& soaked in warm water for ~ 10 min to reduce the raw "bite")
- small handful of cilantro finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin (this is what brings it all together!)
(recipe can easily be doubled or tripled) (try adding a minced jalapeño for a spicy version)
To make:
Scoop the avocado into a bowl and smash to desired consistency with a fork. Mix in all other ingredients. Grab some chips. Devour.

Often times when U.S. companies think of targeting the Hispanic market it seems like an overwhelming proposition. I hear it often. So many buts and questions come up. But there are so many nationalities? How do we know how to speak to them with so many dialects? Do we have to customize according to dialects and nationalities? Where are the Mexicans concentrated? Do we need to target them in Spanish or English? Do we need to target recently arrived or Hispanics who have lived in the U.S. for a while? And what about US-born Hispanics – aren't we already reaching them with our English language efforts?
So many questions and yet only two questions matter:
- How is your company planning to grow this year?
- What products and services are they planning to focus on?
The answer to these questions will drive the Hispanic target profile that matters to you and the manner in which your strategies should be aligned to be most successful in meeting company growth goals among this target.
The answer to this question will also drive the extent to which organization, operations and infrastructure will need to be coordinated to deliver relevantly across:
- Focus products and services
- Planned messaging, promotions and media
- Current or new distribution channels
- Servicing language requirements
For example, if your company sells life insurance. The target profile will likely be middle income foreign- and US-born Hispanics because these targets will be more established family households with assets like homes to protect. They will likely speak English well or very well so the company's English communication can be English. The company can sell the same key insurance products being sold to non-Hispanic targets. It also means most of the company's independent or career agents will be able to sell policies to Hispanic targets after some cultural development of Hispanics' values, beliefs, attitudes and misconceptions around life insurance.
It does however; mean that messaging in English language communications will require some modification to address Hispanics values, beliefs, attitudes and misconceptions around life insurance. Similar adjustments will be necessary on the company's website, newsletter, and letters. Also, bilingual brochures of existing materials will be helpful to agents as leave behinds to reinforce their sales pitch after an in-home visit. And lastly, customer service centers will need to be trained and aligned to the lengthier conversations and longer call times and it is advisable to hire or engage a bilingual vendor when Spanish language conversations are preferred. As with most financial products, language of comprehension will likely be Spanish especially among the foreign born.
So take the time to identify and get to know the right fit Hispanic target. Doing so will do away with many of the questions I mentioned prior. It will also make clearer the steps you must take to be successful among the Hispanic targets that will contribute to the company's growth plans and strategies.

The Annual General Meeting was held in the School Library at 6:00pm. Prior to the Founders' Day Dinner, a total of 15 Officers and Members were present.
The Vice-Chairman reported the deaths of the following members:-
W. B. Swainson – former Secretary of the Society and member of staff.
Arthur Norton, Kenneth Holmes, H. Watson, J. Manock, D. Burgess, R. Mason, A. Zanker
Since the A.G.M. two further deaths have been reported:-
David Thornton (1946 – 1953 ) – who will be remembered as an all-round sportsman, captaining the school at both cricket and rugby as well as being an outstanding athlete. As a runner he gained his university "blue" and unfortunately missed selection for the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Games by less than half a second.
Also – Mr. Sievewright, a former music master.
The Treasurer reported that the Society was healthy and financially sound. The Income and Expenditure Account shows a balance of £9978, while the Investment Account stands at £19023.
As reported last year the resignation of the then Chairman , and the appointment of Ivan Rhodes being confirmed by the A.G.M. left the post of Vice-chairman vacant.
It wss agreed that at the 2009 A.G.M. that the Committee would recommend a candidate to the 2010 Annual General Meeting. The Chairman announced that after much discussion the Committee proposed that Ken Oxley be appointed. This recommendation was voted on by the assembled members and passed unanimously. Ken took over as Vice-chairman with immediate effect.
A Society working party was set up in 2009 to discuss the Cricket Pavilion replacement and the provision of a Sixth Form Common Room and has recommended that a replacement should be built between the Sports Hall and the " Top". Plans have been drawn up for a Sports Pavilion / Sixth Form Common Room. A target date for completion is the Centenary of the Old Boy's Society in 2012. An appeal is to be launched at the "40 years on" day on July 2nd. Plans and general views should be on view at the event. Please support the appeal generously when you receive the invitation to the event and the details of the appeal.
Golf is, at the moment, the busy sport.
We have the Hitchin Trophy, played for by Old Boys during May each year. The Society Annual match against the School was revived in 2009, and returned to its traditional venue, Ghyll Golf Club. The annual match against Giggleswick Old Boys continues to thrive.
The President reports that the pupil role is now 805, it is anticipated that this will maximise at this figure by September, meaning that the school will be "full" within its present facilities.
He reported that, in 2009, Ermysteds was placed 53rd. nationally in examination results, with a 79.3% success rate at A*, A and B levels. The School also had the highest "value added" score at G.C.S.E. of all state schools in Yorkshire.
School teams at Cross Country had a clean sweep of titles, culminating in the Northern Schools title in March 2010, with Billy Pinder winning an individual Gold. The 2010-11 season has started well, with an unbeaten record at all age groups in all local races.
The 1st. XV made good progress in the Daily Mail Vase before being beaten by a superior Manchester Grammar School team. Sam Harrison, the 1st. XV captain captained the Yorkshire Under 18's, and will tour South Africa with the Yorkshire terriers in 2011. Oliver Cicognini represented England at Under16 level, the first Ermysted's student to gain a national honour since P. McCarthy in 1986.
On Remembrance Day the school was honoured by the attendance of Wing- Commander R. G. B. Summers, an Old Boy who flew as a Blenheim Fighter pilot in the Battle of Britain and beyond, gaining 15 victories. He served in the Royal Air Force until 1968, finishing his career on the V-bomber force. He has accepted an invitation to be Chief Guest at the "40 years on" event in July.
The President closed his report by thanking the Society for it's support, and particularly thanked Ken Oxley for his astute control of school finances in his role as Clerk to the Governors.
The Secretary reported that the winner's names on the Hitchin trophy and the Craven Plate had been brought up-to-date for the first time for many years, he hoped that this situation will not become necessary again.
The Society sports results for 2010 were:-
Rugby – not played.
Cricket – not played.
Golf –
v. – School – a tie.
v. _ Giggleswick Old Boys – won.
The Hitchin Trophy was won by D. B. Hickie.
Golf dates for 2011 are:-
Hitchin Trophy – May 16th. at Skipton Golf Club.
Giggleswick O. B – June 22nd. at Skipton G.C.
v. – School – Monday July 11th. at Ghyll Golf Club.
Jack Heald, Kenneth Jackson and Toby Capstick were due to retire from the Committee at the A.G.M., but were persuaded to stand again. They were duly re-elected. Since the A.G.M. four new members have been co-opted to the Committee, three of them are undertaking special projects.
The election of Treasurer and Secretary was once again straight forward, both being re-elected un-opposed.
A member asked "How has the School survived?" He asked if there was any intention to produce a booklet covering what had been very significant years in education – "The Seventies and Eighties". It was explained that Doug Grant is working on bringing A.M.Gibbon's book up-to-date, and David Smith has been bringing the society records up-to- date.
Please don't forget, the school web-site now has the facility for users to purchase goods from a wide range of suppliers, please use this option if possible; the School receives a percentage of each purchase price to boost school funds.
As you can see, the Society is in good health. Your Committee thanks you all for your support, if you know any Old Boy who is not a paid-up member of the Society please encourage them to join, the more subscriptions we can achieve the more we can do to help YOUR school improve the facilities for all.
Len Price (Hon. Sec.)

The requested research item does not exist. Please return to Research
Over the second half of 2014, Cairo's real estate market began regaining some of the losses incurred during the previous prolonged period of instability. Residential sale prices and rents showed continued signs of strengthening, while the commercial sector maintained its stability as demand was offset by new supply. Although Average Daily Rates (ADR's) have improved significantly for Cairo hotels (by almost 78% compared to 2013), this sector has not fully recovered and further improvements are expected during 2015 / 2016. As the economy improves, the retail sector is set to witness an influx of international brands and the expansion of existing retailers.

is a fun time, since it's usually when your wine is tasting
I always feel that bottling is a good time, because I can
already see the look on people's faces after they taste the
latest vintage. Hopefully, they're happy looks,
not like they have a mouth full of sweet tarts.
What do I need?
I always keep the bottles from the store bought wine for my
bottling. Just remove the labels, wash them thoroughly
and put them in a box until you are ready. We did,
however; just buy 40 + cases from a local winery. They
were used bottles which had to be cleaned, remove the labels, and
dried. I think I still have 20 cases to go
yet. We had to jump on this offer since it was so
I use the Bordeaux style of
I use the dark green for red
wines and clear for whites
It's actually quite
Have a glass or two handy to taste the wine when bottling, as well
as for when you finish bottling and you have enough for half a
bottle yet. You could bottle it, but it wouldn't last
more than a day or so. So, I recommend drinking it while
you're cleaning up.
clean sterilized bottles
(estimate 5 bottles per gallon)
Corks of decent

sterilize all equipment, corks and

Make sure you have the bottling
wand ready to go into the bottle
Only fill about 1/4th the way
up the bottle neck. You'll want 1/2 inch of air between
the wine and the cork.
Once started, have the wine run
down inside against the wall of the bottle so you don't
aerate the wine.
Fill all bottles
Press corks into the bottles,
