II. Introduction
Just 1 per cent of the world's population owns 40 per cent of the world's wealth, while 60 per cent have to share just 1.9 per cent of it. Most workers have no employment security and billions earn less than a dollar a day. The pursuit of profit trumps the health of people and the future of the planet. Economic growth does not translate into common prosperity. Billions of workers have no say in their working conditions; many are threatened, intimidated, fired and in the worst cases thrown into prison or killed by hired gunmen when they demand their basic human rights of freedom of association, collective bargaining and industrial democracy.
Those who profit from this world disorder tell us that these are the inevitable side-effects of market dynamism, which in turn is the most effective mechanism to create growth and wealth. It would just be too depressing to imagine that this were true and that humankind could not improve on such a world. Change is necessary – indeed, it is inevitable, as the current system is unsustainable; but it remains difficult, as vested interests constitute a huge and dangerous obstacle on the path to more equitable solutions.
The history of trade unions is a history of struggles for greater social justice and against dictatorship, both in societies and at the workplace. Often accused by their opponents of being unreasonable, unable to understand economics, and dinosaurs of the industrial past, there can be no doubt in retrospect that in most battles trade unions have been on the right side of history. While business has unhesitatingly engaged with dictatorships around the world in its pursuit of profit, trade unions were and are at the forefront of bringing about democratic change in countries from South Africa, Brazil and the Republic of Korea to Poland and most recently Egypt. The right to strike, a minimum wage, the eight-hour working day, paid vacations, social security – all are milestones in the long struggle of trade unions for social justice. III. Historical Development of Trade Union
As an organized movement, trade unionism originated in the 19th century in Great Britain, continental Europe, and the United States. In many countries it is synonymous with the term labour movement. Smaller associations of workers started appearing in Britain in the 18th century, but they remained sporadic and short-lived through most of the 19th century, in part because of the hostility they encountered from employers and government groups that resented this new form of political and economic activism. At that time unions and unionists were regularly prosecuted under various restraint-of-trade and conspiracy statutes in both Britain and the United States. While union organizers in both countries...

.... it never really left...
but as it's the last home game of the season, I encourage all of you to participate in the FREE BEER MOVEMENT. (see http://www.thefreebeermovement.com/).
Here's how it works. Bring a friend who has never been to a Revolution game before, or maybe a friend who hasn't been in a long time, or maybe a complete stranger - anyone with a pulse really - bring them to the game on Saturday night - and make sure you stop buy the supporters group tailgate (P1 parking lot - see here - http://www.midnightriders.com/at-gillette-stadium/). Look for me at the tailgate - I'll be the idiot with Hisco 5 on the back of his shirt - also look for a big red/maroon truck with a sign that says FREE BEER MOVEMENT. Say the following "Hey, what's up?" and show me your ticket stub - I'll open my cooler
That's how it works. So SHOW UP.
GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARD. sorry; if you are under 21, I can't give you a beer.

HI guys please explain me the exact meaning of the term "Bounce rate of a website".Thankscandlewood suites melbourne near kennedy space center
When a visitor visits a website and leaves it after visiting only home page or single page of a site this is called bounce rate. High Bounce rate is considered as a bad factor for search engine. Thus makes you site more attractive and share useful information with the user.rajasthan wildlife tours | indian wildlife tours
If a visitor not stay on your site for a bit long that it is said to be bounced back and not good for the ranking factor.
Bounce Rate is the percentage of visitors that hit your website on a given page and dont visit any other pages on your site.High bounce rate in itself doesn't mean it is a bad site. I would think google looks to see if you continue your search, going back to the Google search results and looking at more sites.I really doubt that bounce rate make a different on SERP.
There are many things which affect bounce rate, your web page design, quality of content etc.
Matt Cutts has said in the past that bounce rate has zero effect on rankings in Google search engine.
Bounce rate is that kind of thing which will effect your site a lot if any visitor will leave site without visit on another page of site.
Lot of webmasters mention bounce rate information in detained. If you want to check your site bounce rate then you should go to analytics there u can check your site status and bounce rate in detail.
Bounce rate is the total number of bounces of visitors who entered your website and it is used in web traffic analysis.

A modest race can go the way of TORPHICHEN, who gets the nomination ahead of Mr Burton and Hawk House. The last-named is exposed as ordinary but has proven form at this trip. His consistency deserves reward but he does look vulnerable to an improver at this stage of his career. Mr Burton, like Scania Classic, has experience of racing under both codes but his lack of success has marked him down as one to be wary of for the time being. Still, this will not take much winning and he may the best alternative if the selection fails to live up to expectations. However, Torphichen has been steadily brought along by Michael Jarvis and, with a very handy weight-for-age allowance boosting his claims, the mount of Phillip Robinson stands out as the one to side with in this very ordinary maiden.
Mr Burton 16-1 (9-1) Took keen hold, tracked leaders, hung right over 2f out, soon weakened, 5th of 9, 12l behind Cigalas (9-3) at Warwick 7f mdn stk (5) sft in Aug.
Scania Classic 50-1 (10-0) Always behind, tailed off when pulled up 3 out in race won by Laoch Dubh (11-2) at Uttoxeter 2m hcp chs 0-110 (4) gf in Jul, 8 ran (N.Hunt).
Distinctive Image (USA) 11-4 (9-3) Dwelt, always in rear, ridden 2f out, no impression, 7th of 9, 5l behind Traphalgar (9-3) at Lingfield 7f 2yo mdn (5) pol in Nov.
Hawk House 11-4 (9-3) Led, headed 7f out, ridden and every chance inside final furlong, no extra, 2nd of 9, 1l behind Gracechurch (9-4) at Brighton 1m 2f hcp 0-70 (5) gf in Aug.
Pas de Roland 50-1 (8-10) Slowly away, headway to chase leaders after 2f, ridden and weakened halfway, last of 4, 32l behind Mut'ab (9-3) at Yarmouth 7f 3yo & 4yo mdn (5) gf in Jul.
Torphichen 8-1 (9-3) Chased winner throughout, pushed along 4f out, no impression final 2f, kept on well for clear 2nd, 2nd of 15, 2 1/2l behind Porthole (9-3) at Windsor 1m 2f 3yo mdn (5) gs in Jun.

Go to audioasylum.com and search. There were many posts about the first two products. I used SST for some time with a great benefit, but I now use AudioTop contact cleaner.
29 responses Add your response
I just did my system up last night with Quick Silver and the resolution gains were quite significant. There are a few issues that I hope clear up. These have manifested exactly as described by the Quick Silver creator so I fully expect that I will end up where he claims. At least 36 hours of signal burn-in is recommended before critical evaluation is made. I have 5 hours logged.
I don't have any experience with either SST or Silclear.
As Nrchy has said I've used SilClear and continue to use it. I even had a friend who tried it on lightbulbs and it helped the contact. I've read about the other 2 but for the cost of the SilClear the improvement was dramatic enough I can't justify the additional cost at this time for the other two. I'd rather get music.
SILCLEAR, like all tweaks, has its own sound and effect. I personally use it, as it is what I bought from Pierre at Mapleshade (he is such a good salesman, isn't he?). Haven't tried the Walker SST or the Quick Silver. They may be much better; I wouldn't know. Friends with good ears say the Quick Silver stuff kicks major butt, a real value. Again, wouldn't know.
But I DO know the best way to apply the gooey crap! Clean your connections with whatever you use (I use Flitz; VERY cool stuff) and then get out a lint-free disposable wipe (available from any optometrist or related business). Apply the SILCLEAR onto the cleaned surface with a paint brush (fine tip), using a VERY TINY AMOUNT! People slather this garbage on! MAJOR mistake! The film left must be about an angstrom thick. (Okay, okay, maybe not an angstrom, but you get my drift.) Then put another tiny amount on the lint-free cloth and start rubbing the area with the SILCLEAR dabbed cloth directly on the equipment surface or plug/termination and just tightly squeeze as you rub the SILCLEAR INTO the surface. The cloth will absorb the excess in a very short while. Rub until the SILCLEAR is basically invisible except on very, very close inspection of the desired surface. Be careful not to get the SILCLEAR on anything else, as it is highly conductive and can cause a bridge, an arcing --in short, a disaster! Seriously!
This stuff works. But will it IMPROVE your sound? That is not a question anyone can answer but YOU! Try it! Most manufacturers have a 30 day guarantee. Nothing to lose.
Fact is, I don't think I could use up all the SILCLEAR that Pierre sells for $30 or so, in 100 years! If you do it right, you need amounts that are truly miniscule. BTW: I REALLY liked the effect it had on fuses. Absolutely KILLER! And really a cheap, cheap tweak that works, when amortized over the life of the SILCLEAR supplied.
But if you're using SILCLEAR and you're using it up fast, you're applying WAY too much. Remember: "Less is more".
Hope this helped. Happy listening.
Be careful with this silver paste. I use silclear and it can get (has gotten) everywhere and it does not come off easily. If overused, it can cause some big problems.
On the other hand, if someone is messing with your gear, put a little dab of this silver stuff on the power switch. The culprit will be easy to spot because he too won't be able to get it off his fingers. ;-)
Using silver bearing products on tube pins, is NOT for everyone. It takes a steady hand, an ability to limit the amount applied and extreme caution. Some have no attention for detail, should completely avoid the practice and perhaps the products(altogether). They WILL cause a short, if used incorrectly, in any circuit.
I used the Walker Audio silver based contact enhanser for a long time and did try that by Mapleshade's product also. Goo Be Gone, which is orange based also works. But it is really Audiotop Connect 3 that think is best. This oil is the last step in Audiotop Connect Workstation that includes an acid and a base cleaner as first steps. I have found that the cleaners get nothing off gold plated contacts and so seldom bother.
Now with the High Fidelity CT-1 Ultimate cables with Stabilant 22 on them, I don't use the Audiotop on those cables.
It takes about a hundred hours of playing music or playing a break in track before the Quicksilver or Quicksilver Gold loses any tendency toward brightness or stridency. Your friend should have waited. I use Quicksilver Gold on all tube pins, including those both NOS Sylvania 6SN7GT Bad Boys. They are not bright or thin.
i cannot confirm the "break-in" period for the silclear in my friend's system.
however, as a risk taker, i would propose a wager. conduct a blind test using two identical pairs of interconnects, and i would bet that i would discern a brightness, after 100 hours of break-in when auditioning the treated pair.
I can't speak of the silclear but if it is anything similar to the Walker SST silver product which I tried and still have on hand I would take you up on the bet Geoff. It works in brightening things up alright but in my particular case it wasn't a good thing and was ALL too apparent immediately. I'm glad I only tried it at the RCAs into the amp, that was enough!
"All too apparent immediately."
Exactly! All of these silver contact enhancers require at least 100 hours of burn in with signal before they can be judged critically. I used Silclear a bazillion years ago, these days my money's on Quicksilver Gold. Faint heart n'e'r won fair maiden, as my granddaddy used to say.


text: A Southern Haven February 01, 2008 The Four Seasons' new tropical island resort By: Carole Dixon Asia / Pacific Clients can relax next to their private pool. Samui means 'safe haven' and you will certainly feel cosseted in the dense tropical hills at the new Four Seasons Resort off the gulf of Siam. The expansive ocean view from the open-air wooden reception deck will stop clients in their tracks. It's as if you're hanging off the edge of a luxury treehouse about to take the plunge into 42 acres of perfectly manicured flora and mango trees. The entire island resort has a lush jungle setting with 58 one-bedroom private landscaped villas tucked amid the coconut palms and jackfruit. They will want to spend ample time on their large deck complete with infinity pool and day beds for lounging and gazing out at the beach below. The interiors are contemporary with warm colors, dark woods and a massive terrazzo, shell-shaped bathtub facing a large picture window encompassing that one-in-a-million view. If your clients don't want a perch from the top, there are also two beach villas and two residences available all with wireless Internet access just in case you feel the need to check in with the office.While visitors may not want to leave their rooms, a major draw to the resort is the spa villas. Complete with private treatment rooms, full bath and decks with soaking tubs, you'll be in complete seclusion perfect for celebrity clients. After you indulge in one of the 90-minute massages ranging from an Ayurvedic blend to Siam fusion you are led up through a maze of wooden stairs shrouded in a lusty forest to an open-air teahouse for relaxing with a soothing herbal drink in the midst of chirping birds.Actually, if your clients don't love to walk, this might not be the resort for them. The hilly landscape requires a steep trek down to the beach or up to the main restaurant, but you can take a 'buggy' ride at any time. The speedy golf carts are readily available at all the major restaurants and the spa, but be prepared for hair-pin twists and turns in the road and just consider it part of the experience. The beach offers snorkeling and fishing off the coral reef, or if clients prefer dry land, try a game of coconut petanque (a form of bocce) on the sand. Other daily activities range from hatha yoga classes, Muay Thai boxercise and a tennis clinic where you can learn "the stroke of the week" to tropical cocktails classes at the beach bar during sundown.A variety of spa treatments are offered at the resort. For dining, guests have a choice of casual beach bites all day at Pla Pla, where you can order a wide variety of salads, sashimi, chicken satay, hummus, smoked-duck quesadillas, pizzas or a juicy burger with fries. More upscale fare can be found at the top of the hill in Lan Tania restaurant. A few signatures include Mong Korn pon fai a stir-fried Phuket lobster with dry chili, oyster sauce and cashew nuts that could easily feed several people; and by stark contrast, the chef's crab risotto is one of the best this side of Milan. Surprisingly, they both mix wonderfully together with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand which features predominately on the wine list.Excursions on the island include designer knock-off shopping in the main village but it will be hard to leave the service-friendly grounds, unless you're in the market for fabulous fake Prada. Another idea for clients to consider is flying via Singapore rather than Bangkok. It's less than a two-hour daily flight on Bangkok Airways and you can enjoy some wonderful upscale shopping and dining in Singapore before escaping to the island. Air Singapore has just added the sky's largest business-class seats on the Los Angeles and San Francisco direct flights for supreme comfort.THE DETAILSFour Seasons Koh Samui 66-77-243-000www.fourseasons.com/kohsamuiRates: $530 and upCommission: 10 percent Print Email

text: We all have those colleagues who show up at work looking green, sneezing, hacking and sniffling away — coworkers who insist on coming into the office when they are clearly under the weather. These offenders consider themselves troopers ("I never miss a day of work!") and apparently have no issues with spreading their germs throughout workspaces. So what can the healthy folks in the office do to dissuade the infected from coming in? Vancouver-based etiquette expert Margaret Page says, "We live in a world filled with technological advancements and those eager to get back to work even when they ought not to may still accomplish a lot of work at home or while convalescing," she says. "An extra day or two at home will not only allow employees to be more productive when they return, but builds goodwill and respect with coworkers in the office." Page says it's fair to voice your opinion as long as you're able to without using charged language or negative emotion. "If you're unable to encourage fellow employees to stay home with a voice that inspires action rather than ridicules, leave it up to HR to deal with."

Science, philosophy or religion - none has ever been able to put a full stop over questions raised on fate and free will. This movie, The Adjustment Bureau, explores the ever interesting topic, our ability to decide our own fate. This fast paced brainy thriller is also probably the most romantic movie of recent times.

She inspires him to deliver a memorable speech. He feels fallen for her. He meets her in a bus, after some time, where her fascination to him translates into true love. But soon David finds that some mysterious men have conspired to keep them apart.
David learns that those men are members of, the adjustment bureau. Those creatures have a job to make sure that things go as per written destiny. They adjust the happenings, if something starts to go out of plan. Meeting Elise was a big deviation by David from written plan. The men of bureau must make sure that the two are kept apart. David Norris is forced kept apart from Elise but true love is too strong to be stopped. A senior from bureau warns David of the consequences and gives some reasoning for the written fate. David keeps himself away from Elise for some time. Elise feels terrible and thinks as if she has been dumped and decides to marry another guy. But when David learns about Elise getting married, he wants to reach her at any cost. He is helped by one of the agents of the bureau. David and Elise risk everything they had to remain together. Their true love even changes the fate.

Alan is the best!!! ❤
My husband and I had a lovely anniversary dinner. We sat at the chef's counter and enjoying watching them prepare our food! The staff was very friendly and the food and drinks were delicious.
Absolutely amazing. Food, atmosphere, everything. Also very much authentic, would highly recommend going here.
had a great time at Naschmakt. Sat at the bar and watched the kitchen in operation. The on tap beer was fantastic and an interesting assortment of austrian and german wines (along with domestic). The meal took us back to a great trip we had 2 years ago to Vienna and Munich/Bavaria.
Great anniversary dinner.
Phenomenal food and drinks, very knowledgeable staff and excellent service. The go to place for authentic, elevated Hapsburg Empire dishes, from a selection of schnitzels, goulash, double cooked pork belly... to lighter side of soups, salads and seafood. Be sure to try the blueberry soufflé at the end and ask the bartender for one of his latest creations. Nothing will disappoint you at Naschmarkt
This is our favorite restaurant and we eat here at least once a month. The food is always fresh and delightful! The menu changes with seasonal dishes. The staff provide great service and the bar tenders make excellent cocktails. The ambiance is cozy and sophisticated, and not too noisy, so you can hear each other in conversation. Everything on the menu that we have tried is fabulous, but we especially like the fish, weiner schnitzel, sausages, roasted game hen, and the butter lettuce gem salad. Yummy.
Friendly service, very consistent food, excellent flavors
Consistently flavorful dishes that are as beautiful to look at as they are delicious to eat. Warm, gracious service. When Campbell and the Bay Area are full to overflowing with great places to enjoy a night out, there's a reason Naschmarkt is rated as highly as it is, for as long as it has been.
Simply put it, this restaurant is PERFECT. Best restaurant in South Bay, by far.
We celebrated my adult son's birthday with him and his wife. It was a delicious meal from the special pretzle appetizer to all the entrees we enjoyed. My son got this wonderful flavorful split pea soup too. The drinks were special concoctions too. My dish was the swordfish with citrus. It was almost too beautiful to eat with all the colors and flavors apparent. But I did eat it and found every bite wonderful! We just didn't have enough room left for desert.
Only downside was waiter was too attentive and it felt like he wanted us to eat and leave quickly. Good service, just felt rushed.
When I lived in San Jose a few years ago, I went here often and was always happy with the food and the service. However, things have changed. The only thing I recognize is the name. Decor is uninspired, the service is just OK. The staff will take your order and bring it to your table. The issue is the food. I was there with 4 people, these people are not picky and not one of them liked their food. I got really sick in the middle of the dinner and was sick for two days after that. Not sure what it was exactly in the rolled cabbage I ordered, but my reaction to the spice or ingredient was violent. The odd thing is that my mother ordered the same dish and was fine. There was this one bite that did not quite taste right and I paid for it.
This was my last visit here, once a restaurant poisons me, there is no way back :|
*Not sure if this is the same management, but they need to bring back the old kitchen staff, hire new waiters and use different ingredients. OpenTable is also at fault for advertising this as the restaurant of the year.
This place never disappoints. We all had the schnitzel and it was as always perfect. Flawless service by Shelby. It's one of the overall nicest places to eat in Silicon Valley.
Birthday. Great service.
We eat here very often and know the menu well, so we like to try the specials, which always are innovative but within the Austrian tradition. My wife and daughter eat seafood, so they usually get the special fish or shellfish dish. I tend to stick the jaeger and Weiner schnitzels. The pumpkin seed/oil butter lettuce is outstanding and has become a staple of our home entertaining. Even if I was not raised on Austrian food from childhood, I would still consider Naschmarkt one of the best restaurants in the Bay Area and on a par with Wallse and Blaue Gans in NYC.
This was the place my husband took me on our very 1st date. The next year we came back and were engaged. This year we came back and are Married. Talk about a way to impress your date! The food is absolutely amazing and the way it's plated is stunning. Every year it's a treat.....we enjoy it in between anniversaries too. We go for each course. The Blueberry Soufflé is to die for!
We are Foodies and would recommend Naschmarkt for anyone looking for an outstanding dining experience.
We have been here many times, as we live in downtown Campbell. It is really about the only restaurant worth visiting in D.T. Campbell.
We do, however, think that the food/value quality has come down a couple of notches. Prices are quite expensive now, and the food portion size/quality are not what the used to be.
All three of us felt that the Wiener Schnitzel (Classic) wasn't up to par, and the quality and size of the cut of meat isn't as good as it used to be. Also $10 for a few butter lettuce leaves with a couple of slices of radishes and a few pumpkin seeds is - while tasty - really quite overpriced. Either make it larger or lower the price.
Also, we had a reservation and expected a leisurely, unhurried meal, but the service was unnecessarily very rushed. We were basically out of there in an hour. An almost $200 meal for three, with cocktails before, should take a couple hours...
We'll go back, but probably not as often.
The service at Naschmarkt Restaurant was excellent. everyone was warm and friendly. We were not rushed selecting our food or drinks and that was a pleasure. The wait staff also gave us advice on beer, mixed drinks and with their specials. We'll be back!
Always fantastic, warm, gracious. Like coming home!
Our 5th time being there. We love it every time delicious food service is always excellent and friendly. I love their wiener schnitzel but every thing in their menu is tasty. Will go again
I had been meaning to come here for quite some time, but never got around to it. It was a special occasion (Grandma's 90th bday and my aunt's 62nd), so it seemed like the perfect occasion to go and treat them. Fantastic service, right off the bat. Our server was attentive, pleasant, and knowledgeable. We each got different dishes to share with each other and everything was amazing (especially the stroganoff special - GET IT if they are serving it!!!) Since it was a birthday celebration, they also brought the birthday ladies the sorbet trio (lime, pineapple, and pear-apple), which was a hit at our table. They make their own sorbet in-house and they were bursting with flavour (and spices, in the case of the apple-pear). We left VERY full and very pleased!
Excellent in every way !
Some friends and we ate at Naschmarkt last Sat. evening. Although it was very crowded and noisy, the food was delicious! We had the fabulous smoked chicken spaetzel, the goat cheese purse salad, the weiner schnitzel and apple strudel. The spaetzel and purse salad were divine. The weiner schnitzel was good but nothing really special. The apple strudel and vanilla ice cream were out of this world. We'd definitely like to return and next time will order the beef goulash. Wait staff was nice too.
I remember much tastier food and a classier feel but that was years ago and changes have been made. For the better? I cant say. It feels causal, quick and informal. The food is good yet the price for for a full meal feels heavy without cause.
Granted their service and actual food prep is beyond your favourite ramen house though.
Would I come back? Probably not. The ambience isn't meeting the most basic bar for 75usd to 150usd per person.
We love sitting at the bar and watching how the kitchen beautifully puts these delicious masterpiece meals together! The bartenders are masters with their drinks, always creating new ones, which keeps bringing us back routinely. The menu does change based on the season. The fish dishes are my favorites however I do go back to my favorites that remain on the menu. I love that we have such a great dining experience located in downtown Campbell!
I love going to Naschmarkt , everything about this place is outstanding. Excellent service, food , a great choice of drinks too.
Consistently outstanding. We have dined at Naschmarkt several times, and it's always been a great experience - service, food, all fantastic.
I ordered Jagerschnitzel, which I have done many times before there. This version was inedible. It was a very thin slice of pork, and it was unbreaded. The schnitzel was flavorless. Yikes. What has happened to this restaurant? I was with a first -time business associate, whose scallops looked great, but I didn't feel like I could stop our business conversation in the middle of my meal to make a fuss. What the heck happened to my classic Austrian dish? Who was back in that kitchen? Ugh.
Excellent menu, service very good, attentive but not hovering
Excellent Restaurant in downtown Campbell. During peak hours parking can be challenging. So, arrive early and enjoy the wine tasting bar next door to the restaurant or a stroll around the town looking into an assortment of boutique stores.
My wife and I had the Yeager Schnitzel and it was excellent. Our son and his wife had the stuffed cabbage. The mussels as an appetizer were excellent. They have a good wine and beer list or enjoy a specialty cocktail. Be sure to make a reservation.
Our first time at Naschmarkt and we were not disappointed. We'll be back.
As usual, the food was outstanding and the service - exemplary...
My dining experience here NEVER disappoints, love love love. Thanks to Allen also for the fabulously fun cocktails he invents on the go....
I have been there now 4 times, food is light, clean, fresh, robust flavor, incredible cuisine!
We've been meaning to go here for years and it didn't disappoint. Authentic Austrian/German food without being heavy or overbearing. Totally worth the wait. Make sure to reserve in advance, they are full every night.
Had another great meal at Naschmarkt. The service and food were outstanding.
We are regular customers, foodies, wine drinkers and when we are craving for good Austrian food, this is the place. No complaints what-so-ever. Great and prompt service and cool atmosphere. A must go to and recommended for a date night, business dinner or hanging out with friends.
Great food and service. Wish we lived closer as this would be our go to place.

I am reading "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer, the New York Times best seller which has been into a movie. I have already seen the movie, don't worry, it doesn't spoil reading the book. While I enjoyed the movie, the book is much more detailed and explains more about the powers of the Vampire's. I'm only half way thru the book and am enjoying it. I'm to that can't put it down point.
The book is good for any age that likes to read. My 14 year old grandson really liked it. My 21 year old daughter liked it. Hubby couldn't put it down. I'm listing it as a good read, may change as I get further into it.

How We Help You
Typically, we help businesses who have fallen behind on making payroll or withholding deposits to the IRS because of illness or injury, a large customer failing to pay, loss of a key employee, or internal embezzlement.
Rather than declaring bankruptcy, which rarely helps, we frequently restructure a sole proprietorship, partnership, Corporation, or LLC. This technique ordinarily allows us to reduce the amount of total taxes that have to be paid by 40% or more. We then negotiate a payment plan for the minimum monthly payment that is acceptable to the IRS.
We will analyze your situation and develop a comprehensive plan to minimize your tax liabilities. We do this by negotiating personal installment agreements, designing personal offers in compromise and proposing abatement of penalties solutions.
Our clients with IRS issues
often have State tax problems as well. Contrary
to popular belief, states are frequently much more aggressive and quicker
to seize assets and padlock doors than the IRS. Additionally, taxpayers
do not have the same rights and procedural protections with State tax
collectors that they have with the IRS. Therefore, our strategy is often
to buy time for our client with the IRS and resolve the State tax issues
the Shark Attack!

Before custom fonts are displayed, they need to be loaded first. There are three possible scenarios for font loading:
Scenario 1 only happens when you try to use a nonexisting font, or a declaration with a bad
src. This can and should be avoided entirely. Jumping to Scenario 3, it is the best case scenario and can usually be achieved through proper font caching. Scenario 2 is the scenario that involves font loading. Font loading is mostly unavoidable (at least for the first request instance). There are several ways to deal with it:
1. Flash of Unstyled Text (FOUT). A FOUT is an instance where a web page uses default and fallback fonts before switching to the proper web font. It happens because font requests do not happen until both HTML and CSS are downloaded. This means that there is a period of time where HTML is displayed before fonts are fully downloaded.... read the whole story at typographyhandbook.com.

Angular modules with Webpack and NPM
Angular Modules With Webpack and NPM
We're in the process of transitioning one of our application's front ends from a collection of independent scripts containing IIFEs to ES6-style exportable components. To correspond with the new importing scheme, we needed to convert one of the project's depdencies, our Angular waiting button component, from a Bower project to an NPM project. After diving in to try and find other articles explaining this process and coming up empty-handed, I decided it would be helpful to others to document building out a Angular module using Webpack and NPM.
We will be building out a very simple button component that we can use within any Angular 1 application by including it in our app's dependencies. The functionality of the button will be rudimentary, as the focus of this article will be on getting development setup and providing a module that is importable.... read the whole story at madebymunsters.com.

When Erin and I were growing up in the early to mid-'90s, life was simpler. Austin and Tricia were little lumps who could not yet dish out the snarky remarks they now throw our way, "PB & J Otter" was still a thriving TV show, and Erin would be constantly busying herself with "hard art projects"--usually something like forming clay into a misshapen orb or coloring outside the lines in a coloring book. Well, I've decided to make some Hard Art Projects of my own, starting with this trash can.
I've failed at a lot of things in my life, and I might have failed at spelling Scourgify correctly on my first attempt on the other side of the trash can, but this is one of my proudest accomplishments to date. I pulled out my Bic permanent markers and went to town.

I'd like to acknowledge Richard Wilhelm's and Cary F. Baynes translation "I Ching: Or, Book of Changes" [3rd. ed., Bollingen Series XIX, (Princeton NJ: Princeton University Press, 1967, 1st ed. 1950)] and Larry Schoenholtz's "New Directions in the I Ching: The Yellow River Legacy" [Seacaucus NJ: University Books Inc., 1975, 1st ed. 1975] for inspiring me to write this script.
The Wilhelm/Baynes translation (This is an online I Ching resource.)


text: Here is an experimental trance album I made last summer in my spare time. If you are looking for some new experimental, psychedelic trance type tunes to listen to, give it a listen. I think its fairly progressive and offers something different. I haven't really promoted it much, but would love some feedback. Thanks.

Black and White Week
There is something elegant about black and white photography. It does not attract the eye to a specific color or area of the picture. It is raw and open for critique. It is a journalistic style, which I love.
Everyday this week I will be featuring a black and white photo that I have taken on that day. I hope that you enjoy. First up, The serious Mr. Sheep.

To lose weight permanently, you must permanently change! This reality even applies to those considering bariatric weight loss surgery. To overcome obesity consider working with a specialist. You may fear asking for help and talking about your challenges but perhaps the time has come where you recognize the need to do so.
It's entirely possible that your doctor and family have stopped talking to you about losing weight and may even be waiting for a health issue to perhaps motivate you to take action. Don't wait any longer do what you desire to do, even if you fear what the future may hold.
Ultimately for most people, the biggest adjustment in trying to change is how to deal with challenge, failure and desires. This is where an introduction to the concept of motivational weight management and mindset is vital when addressing obesity.
Food consumption is only one piece of the puzzle.
An obesity focused weight management program that will contribute to permanent change must take into account many factors. This is the secret to avoiding YO-YO dieting, lapses that challenge and having you be able to work towards a healthy weight goal and then maintaining it for the rest of your life.
For lasting success with weight loss we review the following;
What is the amount of food you take in. What is the amount of energy you put out. What is your response and attitude toward food. What are your motivators for desiring to lose weight.
It is vital that you learn to understand how your attitudes and emotions affect your success and how to deal with them effectively.
A key variable for any weight loss is the rate at which your body burns fuel (food) This is your metabolic rate. It can be changed through exercise, muscle building or by medications.
Expensive pills and programs simply aren't the answer! These "quick fixes" may only achieve short term results AND long term frustration!
So let's see what we can do for you. Book your assessment now!
And what if you don't choose to lose? Please consider the possible consequences.
Obesity - Health Risks:
• Diabetes: The risk of becoming diabetic increases greatly, especially if the weight is mainly around the waist. Being diabetic carries a significant risk of heart attack, kidney failure, impotence, blindness, stroke and nerve damage causing pain and disability.
• High Blood Pressure: Excess weight increases blood pressure. Losing just a little will make a difference.
• Heart Attack and Stroke: The heavier you are, especially around the waist, the higher the risk of a heart attack or stroke.
• Cancer: In the significantly overweight, a 3 times greater risk of colorectal, prostate, endometrial, cervical and breast cancer.
• Respiratory and Sleep Problems: Obesity worsens asthma. If you are overweight, you are more likely to snore or stop breathing during sleep. This "sleep apnea" is also associated with heart attack, stroke, low energy and increased risk of accidents.
• Osteo-arthritis and Gout: One kilo extra weight increases osteo-arthritis risk by 13%.
• Pregnancy: Obesity is associated with birth defects, and difficult labours and deliveries
• Gallbladder disease: Much higher incidence in obese women.
• Skin Rashes Raw, red, itchy and smelly rashes often occur where two skin folds meet.
Health risks may motivate you or it's possible your awareness and concern for yourself has completely eroded. Yet you are here, for yourself or someone you care about!
Only, the person carrying the excessive weight can truly understand how they feel about it. If they are fine with it, then it is possible for many to have relatively healthy, happy lives. For others unfortunately the health and lifestyle challenges will compound.
Whatever the situation, make a choice to live life to the fullest. If for you that means seeking help for yourself or someone you care about to shed some pounds then make sure it is done in a way that not only deals with healthy eating options but also helps sort through the variety of emotions and motivational challenges that come with being obese.

Is Birdsong Music?
Outback Encounters with an Australian Songbird
Publication Year: 2017
How and when does music become possible? Is it a matter of biology, or culture, or an interaction between the two? Revolutionizing the way we think about the core values of music and human exceptionalism, Hollis Taylor takes us on an outback road trip to meet the Australian pied butcherbird. Recognized for their distinct timbre, calls, and songs, both sexes of this songbird sing in duos, trios, and even larger choirs, transforming their flute-like songs annually. While birdsong has long inspired artists, writers, musicians, and philosophers, and enthralled listeners from all walks of life, researchers from the sciences have dominated its study. As a field musicologist, Taylor spends months each year in the Australian outback recording the songs of the pied butcherbird and chronicling their musical activities. She argues persuasively in these pages that their inventiveness in song surpasses biological necessity, compelling us to question the foundations of music and confront the remarkably entangled relationship between human and animal worlds. Equal parts nature essay, memoir, and scholarship, Is Birdsong Music? offers vivid portraits of the extreme locations where these avian choristers are found, quirky stories from the field, and an in-depth exploration of the vocalizations of the pied butcherbird.

More than a century has elapsed since Darwin taught the world about the continuity of life.

1. An Outback Epiphany
Wogarno Station, Western Australia, 13 April 2001: Drought has set its oven on slow bake. This autumn, they must assign acres to a sheep rather than sheep to an acre. On our drive up the five-mile dirt track to Lizard Rock, a sacred Aboriginal site, we pass a cinnabar lakebed frosted with cracked salt. ...

3. The Nature of Transcription and the Transcription of Nature
Lamington National Park, Queensland, 22 June 2005, 5:00 AM: I'm scrambling across a steep cliff track behind lyrebird expert Sydney Curtis. My small flashlight and I are barely up to navigating this cold, damp rainforest. We've come for the winter breeding, and thus singing, season of the Albert's lyrebird (Menura alberti). ...
4. Notes and Calls: A Taste for Diversity
Yungaburra, North Queensland, 8 June 2005: Now-extinct volcanoes shaped the Atherton Tablelands. These wet tropics are as far north as I intend to travel on my first recording trip. I head out just before 4:00 am, listening for anything that might be a pied butcherbird. I've still only heard a few, so I am hoping I will recognize their voice. ...

Clermont, North Queensland, 9 November 2013: A tenant in the caravan park is sternly and repeatedly shouting the name of his town. What's wrong with Butch, Buddy, or Diesel?

Book Review – Black Bazaar
Posted by lucypopescu on August 8, 2012
Buttologist, so named because of his fixation with women's backsides, lives in a tiny studio in Paris. It's not ideal but better than the cramped dormitory he shared with four compatriots when he arrived in France with a fake ID 15 years ago. Originally from Brazzaville Congo, Buttologist now works as a packer for a printing works and hangs out with his friends at Jip's, an Afro-Cuban bar in Les Halles, where he indulges his taste for Pelforth beer and women-watching. He professes to "understand human psychology from the way people shift their rear-ends."
Despite his straitened circumstances, Buttologist prides himself on his sense of style. He's a snappy dresser, favouring crocodile-skin Westons and tailor-made Italian suits. He's also an aspiring writer and buys a second-hand typewriter, "because I wanted to be like a real writer who rips up pages, crosses things out, and has to interrupt his creative flow in order to change the… ribbon."
Buttologist is still mourning the loss of his girlfriend who has returned to Congo Brazzaville with their infant daughter and an African drummer nicknamed the Hybrid because "he looks like a primate who narrowly missed out on evolving into a human." He also has to contend with the racist remarks of his Martiniquais neighbour, Mr Hippocratic, who regularly extols the virtues of colonialism.
On the advice of his Haitian writer friend, Buttologist starts to keep a diary to express and learn from his conflicted feelings. As well as venting his spleen about his girlfriend's betrayal, he records gossip from the bar, debates about whether the Whites were slavers or saviours, his run-ins with his neighbour, encounters with women, memories of his childhood and meditations on corruption in post-colonial Africa.
Black Bazaar is less defined by plot and more about Buttologist's reactions to people, places and events. It features an array of unforgettable characters, from Jip's coarse, sardonic barflies to the sympathetic "Arab on the corner", who likes to begin his conversations by quoting the poet Aimé Césaire: "For too long the West has force-fed us lies and bloated us with pestilence…"
Alain Mabanckou, shortlisted for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize in 2010 for Broken Glass, writes with real joie de vivre and paints a vivid, poignant, portrait of the Black immigrant community in Paris. His characters' linguistic idiosyncrasies are deftly translated by Sarah Ardizzone. Buttologist is an irreverent but loveable rogue whose various adventures in the lesser known quarters of Paris are as illuminating as they are entertaining. Mabanckou's pointed literary and musical allusions and sly digs at Africans' own prejudices add to the rich cultural tapestry.

Renee Green: Endless Dreams and Water Between
Milliard, Coline, Art Monthly
Renee Green: Endless Dreams and Water Between National Maritime Museum London January 22 to April 21
'To make any one kind of authoritative statement about the way things are', the American artist and writer Renee Green once said, 'is specious'; hers is the oblique approach, the network of suggestions rather than the quest for a definite answer. Green's installations operate like three-dimensional mind maps of works-in-progress. Her dense National Maritime Museum solo exhibition 'Endless Dreams and Water Between' is true to this principle. Spreading over four rooms, the show is an archipelago of films, sounds, books, banners and drawings on the idea of the island and, by extension, the myths and stories associated with the sea. A series of characters - a woman called Clara, American poet Laura Riding, French writer Georges Sand--crop up in various media, inhabiting this conceptual and spatial meandering, accompanying the viewers from one gallery to the next, safeguarding the always-at-risk unity of this constellated presentation.
'Endless Dreams and Water Between' unravels in a visual and textual ballade where past, present, future, real and imaginary collide. This is characteristic of the artist's understanding of history and knowledge as defined by the personal and the fragmented, a position often reflected in the internal organisation of her installations and video works. In Green's well-known Partially Buried in Three Parts, 1995-97, the artist constructed an intricate portrait of the year 1970 by looking at the site of Kent State University where her mother studied, where Robert Smithson built his Partially Buried Woodshed and where four students protesting against the US campaign in Cambodia were shot dead by the National Guard.
Some Chance Operations, 1999, shown in the NMM's entrance room alongside two other older films, functions on the same principle of multiple plots united by a place. The film interweaves the story of Clara, a newcomer to Naples; interviews with foreigners asked about their relationship to the Italian city; and a filmic essay on Elvira Notari, the first Italian woman filmmaker of note, whose work has now largely fallen into oblivion. Some interviewees have never been to Naples before and reel off banal preconceptions; others have precise memories: an Italian lover, an arrival from Africa. Green deftly reveals the tenuous links existing between person and place, and the construction of a location's mythologies. She also reasserts her role--and perhaps implicitly the role of any artist - in the making of these stories. …

Earlier this year, I was contacted by a guy named Rob Campion aka @allroads1 on Twitter. He was given my contact information by my pal Paul Swaney who's the founder of Stadium Journey, the website that reviews all the different sports venues here in North America & other parts of the World. As a result, he's gotten in touch with many interesting & down to earth people. I've met some of them in my travels. I honestly have no complains. I always look forward to our next meet up.
With that being said, I received a message on Facebook from Rob. He asked me about the possibility of getting him tickets to see the Mets play the Atlanta Braves in September at Citi Field. He told me that he & his wife Angela were planning to come to the States for the very first time. He said they were going to come to NYC for three or four days then they were going to fly to Chicago for another two or three days. Ironically I told him I was planning to go to England & Europe for the very first time in October. In the meantime, we wrote each other back & forth. We arranged to help each other perfect our trip plans. Rob decided to pass on the Met game when he finalized his plans. Instead he decided to see a soccer match aka football if you will. He looked at the NYCFC schedule. They were home the same day they were flying into New York. They were playing the San Jose Earthquakes at 7PM that night at Yankee Stadium. Despite the thought of being tired from the flight & time difference, he asked me if I could get them tickets. I said absolutely. The King & I already had ours since we planned to go as well after the Mets played the Yankees that afternoon at Citi Field. I wound up getting them seats in the same section as ours a row apart. A month later the hockey schedule came out. Rob noticed that the Rangers were playing an exhibition game that Monday night 9/21 at Madison Square Garden. He said he wanted to see the World's most famous arena. Even though it was a preseason game, this was his chance to do so. With that being said, I went ahead & spoke to a friend of mine who has season tickets. I told him I needed a pair for that game. He told me he would sell them to me so I could help these people out. When I told Rob, he was thrilled. He couldn't thank me enough for sorting that out for him.

In May, I told him I booked my flight to London. He said he was going to try to switch with someone at work to be off when I was going to be there. In July, he wrote me & he said he was able to switch. As a result, he was off that Tuesday which was October 6th. He worked nights. He told me that he lived in Leicester which is 100 miles North of London. He said I could take a train from London to Leicester. He watched the fares for me. At first, they were outrageously priced. He said he would keep watching them for me. A few weeks later they dropped to a reasonable price. He went ahead & bought me a round trip ticket for 32 pounds which was 50 US dollars. He got me a seat on the East Midlands train that left St. Pancras/Kings Cross Station at 8:29AM. It was scheduled to arrive in Leicester at 9:45AM. Rob told me he would meet me at the train station. When I got there, we met up again. We walked over to his car which was parked nearby. In the process, we passed a statue of Thomas Cook. Like in Australia, it was odd to get in on the left side of the car & not be the driver. Unlike that Monday, the weather was dry for the time being. Rob proceeded to drive around. He pointed out different landmarks along the way.

Entrepreneurship Goes Global
The article "Entrepreneurship goes global" by Neri Karra and Nelson Phillips presents a new type of company emerging in the 21st century, namely entrepreneurships, which have at least 25 percent of their sales in foreign markets and do not concentrate on the domestic market where they have been founded. These entrepreneurships according to the authors of the article are different from their 'old school' counterparts by expanding globally from day one and taking the challenge of competing in an internationally dynamic environment.
First reading the article one can become overwhelmed by the courage of those entrepreneurs who decided to operate globally and achieve a huge success on the market. However, looking at this piece of writing from a more critical point of view, the reader can observe several explicit and implicit assumptions the authors make on which they build their arguments why global entrepreneurships succeed. Furthermore, there are a number of biases that need to be discussed, which in my opinion undermine the reliability of the paper.
Hebbert (1998) lists factors like "increasing integration of the productive process, […] lowering or removal of institutional barriers to international trade and the flow of capital, […] technological advance and communication which has considerably lowered the cost of going global" as the driving factor for entrepreneurships going global. Another example for identifying the driving factors of internationalization comes from the article of Lewitt (1983) 'Globalization of Markets' arguing that the main driving force for going global lies in technology, which triggers a chain reaction of better communication flow, transportation and reduced world prices. Moving now to our article of 'Entrepreneurship goes Global' (2004) listing changing market factors, technological innovations, lower communication and transportation costs and the importance of alliances as driving factors of the internationalization of entrepreneurships can be considered a cliché in the 21st century when talking about global business. The role of the above mentioned driving forces are indeed crucial for helping business spread across the borders, however, there are more to be spoken about when it comes to discussing the success dashboard of entrepreneurships. The emphasis is put on the word entrepreneurships since they are much different from multinational conglomerates, which play the business game according to other rules.
Most of the entrepreneurships fail in the first or second year of their operations, and those which actually succeed and start making profit are already seen as miracles today due to the fierce competition that is present today on the markets. Going global is not as easy as it is presented in this article. First of all, the article deals with a company that is present in the fashion industry. There are two examples given in the paper and both come from the fashion market, the Turkish leather bag company and the Portuguese footwear company. Let us now dig a little deeper in the type of business Neri Karra and Nelson Phillips chose as examples for their article, namely the fashion industry. Fashion is all about creativity, gut feeling for the next trends, hence there are virtually no barriers that prevent anyone from entering. Here lies the main assumption upon which the article is built: the authors assume that entrepreneurships are the same and can operate according to the same etalon like the one does in the fashion industry. This is not true however. Companies face different challenges tailored by the market dynamics to the features of the business and the reasons for that are manifold. The success of an entrepreneurship can depend on billions of factors like, the knowledge and skills of the entrepreneur, the strategy the company is using, the capital raised for entering the market, the demand, the cultural link between the...
