One of the most talked-about oud oils
in the history of Agar Aura was Ayu.
Hailing from the very same State of Kedah in Malaysia, and boasting the same captivating scent genre, Malaya is Ayu... and then some.
Whereas Ayu was a solid mid-level (by Agar Aura's stringent standards) distillation of incense-grade agarwood. Malaya is an all-out 'royal level' distillation.
You can see the raw material powder here (top left sack), and like I always say... the powder never lies. Most agarwood distillation raw material has the appearance of beige sawdust, whereas high quality incense-grade raw material resembles coffee grounds. The darker the color of the wood the higher the grade (and exponentially costlier too).
The distillation took close to a month, and the fantastic high yield pushed the price down (nearly half of what it 'should' be for this grade).
As mentioned before, the scent profile itself is nearly identical to Ayu. There's the same kola nut juice, together with tamarind jam, vanilla, cinnamon, rock rose, lemon and lime, doused in jaggery syrup.
Malaya is very thick around the middle. Yes, its still a lean mean fully Gen3 oil, but the sheer quality of the raw material lends it a density, that oudy 'marrow', that is the hallmark of top-shelf oud which simply cannot be mimicked by distilling lesser grades of agarwood.
Think Ceylon No.1, Royal Malinau, or Pencerahan.
And speaking of Pencerahan, Malaya is the closest to it in terms of scent texture and density.
If you love the aroma of OUDY oud, you can't miss out on Malaya. But more importantly, if you're a junky that loves the mind effects of top-shelf oud, then top-shelf Malaysian oud should be at the top of your list. Malaya packs a mighty K.O. punch that will hit you right between the eyes, and send your mind to a different space.
The new Malaysian king is Agar
Aura Malaya.
Malaya is a beast... like tazmanian devil in your face... it's a sesquiterpene tornado around your brain... and it made my lip numb
I just walked into work and someone goes u smell like incense lol... aka Malaya
Amazing if this is what AA oils feel like then I'm late and may be missed out on many beauties
D.P. (India)
I revisited the Malaya again last night and all I can say it blew my fuses.
Just spent the last half hour with Malaya. Wow this is a great oil 👏
N.S. (Australia)
You know im tempted to get another malaya cuz i just love that profile
Having a Malaya morning.
mashAllah really pleased with this. Getting alot of much needed psychological relief through it right now.
T.G. (Dubai)
So I was sitting at my table...from across the room I get a Powerful whiff of oud. I look across and my kids and found my lost (and practically empty) sample of Malaya and had opened it. That's what I call projection 😆
T.G. (Dubai)
I had tears in my eyes of just how perfectly crystaline and pure the notes are and that oudy oid marrow underneath is what kept me coming back for more.
R.S. (Canada)
Terpene overload. This is mind medicine first and foremost then a scent. A richer more viscous fuller and touch more purple cola nut juice. If three bottles of ayu were squeezed in one and couple drops of purple kinam added, and a whisper of smoke the results would be malaya
R.S. (Canada)
Malaya tonight. Holy crap! Must try Malay oil.

How do you get that back out? As the piston was seized inside the caliper i had to tap the adjuster bolt to get the piston out of the caliper. If anyone could help that would be great. cheers Liam

E-rate is the commonly used name for the Schools and Libraries Program of the Universal Service Fund, which is administered by the Universal Service
Administrative Company (USAC) under the direction of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The E-rate Program provides discounts on high-speed
Internet access and telecommunications in eligible schools and libraries nationwide. E-rate was created with the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
The intent of the act was to ensure that schools and libraries have affordable access to telecommunications, Internet services and related equipment.
Priority was given to schools and libraries in low-income and rural areas. Kansas currently receives approximately $23 million (including Category
1 and Category 2 funds) per year in E-rate funds.
E-rate 1.0 – On July 11, 2014, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted the E-rate Modernization Order (summary). The Order takes major steps to modernize and streamline the E-rate program and focuses on expanding funding for Wi-Fi networks in eligible elementary and secondary schools and libraries.
E-rate 2.0 – On December 19, 2014, the FCC issued the Second E-rate Modernization Report and Order on Reconsideration (summary). Building on the E-rate Modernization Order adopted by the FCC in July 2014, the improvements to the program adopted in this Order seek to close the high-speed connectivity gap between rural schools and libraries and their urban and suburban counterparts. It also provides sufficient and certain funding for high-speed connectivity to and within all eligible schools and libraries.
For more information on E-rate, access the Schools and Libraries (E-rate) Program Overview document on the USAC website. For more information on the application process, see the Applicant Process overview on the USAC website.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC), an independent government agency, oversees the E-rate Program. Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC), a not for-profit company, administers the E-rate Program under FCC guidance. The Schools and Libraries Division (SLD) is the section of USAC that has responsibility for the E-rate Program.
Eligible participants include public and most non-profit K-12 schools as well as all public and many private libraries. All program participants must carry out a competitive bidding process to select the most cost-effective companies to provide the goods and/or services requested.
Schools operating as for-profit businesses or that have endowments exceeding $50 million are not eligible. Non-traditional facilities and students may be eligible.
Eligibility of Head Start, pre-kindergarten, juvenile justice, adult education, and special education students and facilities is summarized in the table below. More information can be found on the Non-traditional Education page on the USAC website.
The first category of supported services, Category One, includes the services needed to support broadband connectivity to schools and libraries. Eligible Category One services are listed in the entries for data transmission services and Internet access and voice services. This category consists of the services that provide broadband to eligible locations including data links that connect multiple points, services used to connect eligible locations to the Internet, and services that provide basic conduit access to the Internet. With the exception of leased dark fiber and self-provisioned broadband networks, maintenance and technical support appropriate to maintain reliable operation are only eligible for support when provided as a component of these services. Voice services, as described below, are subject to a phase down of support that began in Funding Year (FY) 2015.
Digital transmission services and Internet access are eligible in Category One. These services
Eligible voice services are subject to an annual 20 percentage point phase down of E-rate support that
began in FY 2015, as described in the E-rate Modernization Order. For FY 2017, the effective
discount rate will be 60 percentage points less than other Category One services. The reduced
discount rate for voice services will apply to all applicants and all costs for the provision of telephone
services and circuit capacity dedicated to providing voice services including:
The second category of equipment and services eligible for E-rate support, Category Two, includes the internal connections needed for broadband connectivity within schools and libraries. Support is limited to the internal connections necessary to bring broadband into, and provide it throughout, schools and libraries. These are broadband connections used for educational purposes within, between, or among instructional buildings that comprise a school campus (as defined on p. 7) or library branch, and basic maintenance of these connections, as well as services that manage and operate owned or leased broadband internal connections (e.g., managed internal broadband services or managed Wi-Fi). Category Two support is subject to per-school or per-library budgets as set forth in the E-rate Modernization Order and
Second E-rate Modernization Order. The eligible components and services in Category Two are:
Discounts are calculated and used by USAC based on the NSLP data in the 'Discount Calculation' section of the FCC Form 471. The NSLP percent is determined by dividing the total number of students eligible for NSLP for the entire district by the total number of students in the school district.
Each year, schools and districts in Kansas submit enrollment data to KSDE based on the number of students enrolled and attending on the September 20 Count Day. These data are audited and posted publicly on the Kansas K-12 Reports. These data are used by the SLD's Program Integrity Assurance (PIA) reviewers as part of the application review process. If the data entered on the application do not match the data on the Kansas K-12 Reports, the PIA reviewer will request additional documentation or third party verification. Please contact Kansas' State E-rate Coordinator (Kimberly Wright email@example.com 785-296-6331) if there is a request for third party verification.
A guidance document, Free and Reduced Lunch Eligibility Data Instructions link to this document, is available to help locate the posted NSLP data that are posted on the Kansas K-12 Report.
The FCC determines urban and rural status based on the 2010 U.S. Census Bureau data. If more than 50 percent of the schools in a school district are considered rural, the school district is eligible for a rural discount. If 50 percent or less of the entities are considered rural, the school district is eligible for an urban discount.
USAC provides a lookup tool to help school districts determine the individual and aggregate urban/rural designations used in calculating the E-rate funds discount. The Urban/Rural Lookup Tool is available on the USAC website. You will need to know the entity numbers of all the schools in the school district to utilize this tool.
The Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) addresses concerns about children's access to obscene or harmful content over the Internet. CIPA requires school districts that receive discounts through E-rate to certify that an Internet safety policy has been approved, after reasonable notice and one public hearing, and that protection measures have been put in place. See the Resources tab for links to additional CIPA resources.

text: The majority of the earliest air guns belonged to two different groups: those powered by spring loaded bellows and those utilizing pre-compressed air stored in a reservoir The reservoir was either constructed into the gun or attached to gun itself. Bellows guns were commonly intended for target shooting indoors. Although low powered, they have been amazingly correct at quick ranges. These types of pieces normally do fall into the low-cost air guns category. Pneumatic guns, alternatively have been comparatively potent. The technology of those guns gradually improved over the years and their use in hunting became fashionable among the European nobility. The fact that game as massive as wild boar and stag could be routinely taken by these early pneumatic guns demonstrates their awesome power. Their relatively quiet and efficient operation, coupled with their imperviousness to rain or snow, made them extremely desirable weapons indeed. Inside the late 1700's, highly effective pneumatic guns even located their way in to the ranks on the military. In today's world, these types of firearms generally wouldn't be viewed as in the low-cost air guns range. The erroneous notion of air guns being mere toys has been fostered by years of exposure to the bb gun. There was a mistaken conception that these two kinds of products were one within the very same, particularly with all the prevalence of a substantial number of low-priced air guns out there. Ultimately word of mouth and the reality that air gunning is now an Olympic sport caused the confusion among bb guns and low-cost air guns to dissipate. The complex recoilless match air guns, capable of single hole precision at 10 meters, are not confuses with bb guns. The 1984 Olympics featured air gunning for the first time. This was a historic and dramatic moment and an indication in the importance of air guns in today's recreational shooting. Likewise, air rifles capable of shooting .177 caliber pellets at 1000 feet per second produced the air gun into a vital firearm and entered it in to the severe sporting arms class. Modern air guns fit into 3 basic groups defined by their indicates of pushing a pellet out the barrel, pneumatic air guns, spring-piston air guns and CO2 air guns. These guns come in a wide array of different costs, such as low-priced air guns. Among many of the prime suppliers that create low-cost air guns are Walther, Airsoft and Daisy. Walther is usually a German manufacturer if low-priced air guns even though Airsoft and Daisy are producers in the United states. Affordable air guns give novices a good, solid product by means of which they could be introduced towards the world of sport and target shooting. These kinds of firearms are excellent educational tools and can also supply many occasions of entertaining and challenging use.Top Searches - Trending Searches - New Articles - Top Articles - Trending Articles - Featured Articles - Top MembersCopyright © 2020 Uberant.com741,240 total articles and counting.

Businesses that sell to other businesses need to be cognizant of the challenges that are associated with collecting this outstanding debt. Collecting commercial debt is very different than collecting debt from customers and there are several important considerations to have when doing so.
Collections Start with Onboarding Customers
Businesses want to increase their revenues by selling greater amounts to existing customers and by adding new customers. However, it is not worthwhile to add customers who are unlikely to pay their outstanding debt and a company can help to avoid their future bad debt by doing some due diligence on their customer base before they start selling to them. To do so, a company should perform a background check on all customers they are extending more than a base level of credit to by obtaining references from them and inquiring of the references, by looking up their credit score, and by having a firm process by which they are able to extend only a certain amount of credit to a specific customer. By undergoing these steps, a company can help to minimize the potential bad debt that they have.
Organize Around Your Billing Team
There are several reasons why commercial customers do not pay bills, including financial hardship and potential bad actors. However, many commercial debt customers will simply not pay bills that they believe are inaccurate or those that they receive in an untimely manner. Companies will need to invest heavily in their billing team in order to ensure that bills are accurate and are sent in a timely manner. By doing so, they can improve on their overall collections and reduce the amount of commercial debt that they ultimately have to write-off.
To improve on your billing your company should have clearly defined billing processes, a level of review and verification surrounding invoicing customers, and a set calendar for submitting invoices. In addition, your company should have a channel for customers to make inquiries of invoices and obtain additional support for their charges.
Have a Dedicated Person Following Up
Many businesses will not pay their outstanding debt until you pressure them for payment. Having a dedicated person to follow up on commercial debt collection can greatly improve on the collection process and drive your cash flows forward. It is better to have specified individuals involved in debt collection activities to avoid duplication of tasks and adding to customer annoyance. Make sure that this individual is trained on the overall business and understand when and how to follow up with customers and can work to resolve problems encountered with customers, as well as has the authority to enter into payment arrangements with customers when needed.
Choosing More Drastic Measures for Commercial Debt Collection
Some customers, regardless of the efforts that you make, simply don't pay their bills easily. In these situations, it is important to have a process set up where you can recover as much of the outstanding balance as you can. Some of the options available to business involve:
– Using Outside Consultants to help you to pursue the debt. Many companies will use professional debt collectors who can threaten or pursue legal action against those who do not pay their outstanding debt
– Consolidating and Selling Debt to a Third Party: Many companies will sell their outstanding receivables to a third party, either an investor or a factor, who will collect the debt on their own behalf in exchange for a discounted rate
– Turning off service: If a company sells to a customer regularly, they should not provide the services until their outstanding debt is cleared out to avoid overexposing the company to bad debt.
Collecting on Commercial debt can be challenging but the aforementioned steps should help to improve on your company's overall debt collections and improve on your cash flow.

Based on proven project management principles, the text defines concepts specifically for APNs and DNPs, and enables them to apply processes used in the business operations side of a healthcare organization. The book describes the fundamentals of project design step-by-step, from needs assessment through project closing. It provides detailed examples of tools used by project managers, describes how to apply these tools in the management of a complex healthcare work environment, and identifies key concepts critical to project success.

We all know how much I love clothes and fashion… But another thing I'm hugely into is home décor. I'm forever scrolling through Pinterest posts of Urban Outfitters bedrooms and minimalistic office spaces – I'd love to spend loads of money on art and plants but because I'm a little skint (and always buying clothes) I've been trying to create my own ways of making my bedroom look adorable but for a much more affordable price.
I'ma take you through some bits I've done in my room recently – let me know if you do any of these to create a more cutesy living space!
First – this jewellery holder. I spent £1 on this at Primark and although it's not the most fashionable looking hanger… it does the job so well! Without this I'd lose all of my necklaces for sure.
On a similar sort of theme – these hangers (I nabbed mine off my parents) are awesome for hanging sunglasses. I hold my hands up… I did steal this idea from Pinterest – but these ideas are for sharing, right? Just tap a little nail into the wall and you're sorted.
More nails involved I know – but I hang all of my favourite clothes ALL over my room. Reason one being I haven't got enough space in my wardrobe, and reason two being it looks kinda glam. My favourite pieces that I never wear get like… showcased.
Now… something a little arty. I love art and I wish I could buy expensive artworks and hang them up on all of my walls – but no. I make my own! I create loads of collages out of old magazines for inspiration boards – tuning into my inner 5 year old self.
Yes. Cutting and sticking. So much nostalgia.
You can buy plain boards from Hobbycraft for about £3/4 and the magazine I guess costs money… but not as much as an Andy Warhol painting. These inspo boards are perfect for fashion lovers who need some outfit help in the morning!
Another fun load of ideas for the wall – bunting and ribbon. Bunting is cute and needs little persuasion – so, enough said. A quirky thing I also have in my room is a piece of ribbon across one wall with some of my favourite photos and magazine cut-outs pegged onto. It adds a bit more creativity than just sticking photos to the wall (+ less blu tack damage).
I'm staying on a similar theme with this – across the top of one of my walls I have a line of Vogue Catwalk cut-outs. I don't want to clutter my walls with posters like we all did when we were 13 but this looks super minimalistic and adds a bit of colour to my room – as well as more fashion inspiration.
Last but not least… Plants! I love a good bit of greenery in my room but I'm not too great at looking after them and usually go for fake ones. However, I've recently caught onto the cactus trend and got myself some little baby cacti – they require like no maintenance and look fab in the background of other blog posts! Plus they're super duper cute.
Hope you like my lil ideas! Let me know if you already do some of these (some of them aren't particularly new and special) and if you spruce up your room in any other ways I'd love to know!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Cost of Treatment: $50.00 to $2000.00
What is Osteochondritis Dissecans in Dogs?
Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is an inflammatory disease that affects primarily large and giant breed dogs. It occurs when the developing cartilage becomes thickened and weak. In some cases, the affected cartilage will partially or completely detach from the underlying bone-forming cartilage flaps or cartilage fragments inside the joint.
This process leads to inflammation and pain. Osteochondritis dissecans commonly affects the shoulder joint of young (4 to 8 months) large breed dogs. The elbow, hip, and knee (stifle) joints may also be involved.
Which Dog Breeds Are Most Commonly Affected by Osteochondritis Dissecans?
Here are some of the breeds which are more likely to be diagnosed with Osteochondritis Dissecans:
- Border Collie
- German Shepherd
- Golden Retriever
- Great Dane
- Irish wolfhound
- Labrador Retriever
- Newfoundland
- Rottweiler
- Saint Bernard
- Bernese Mountain
Symptoms of Osteochondritis Dissecans in Dogs
- Limping
- Lameness in one or more limbs
- Difficulty to stand up
- Decreased muscle mass in the limbs
- Signs of pain
- A low range of movement
- Swollen joints
- Reluctance to move
- Depression
Treatment of Osteochondritis Dissecans in Dogs
In cases where the cartilage damage is small, rest, pain medication, dietary management, and nutritional supplements can be effective in the treatment of OCD in dogs. If the lameness does not improve following this conservative approach, or if the cartilage damage is extensive, surgery may be necessary.
OCD surgery consists of removing the defective flap or the floating piece of cartilage from the joint. This may be done by opening the joint, or by using an arthroscope.
Resources for Osteochondritis Dissecans in Dogs
Return to the Dog Health Problems glossary.
Osteochondritis Dissecans in dogs can become an expensive condition. If you're having to pay for all those vet bills, you're going to face some difficult decisions.
If you have a pet insurance plan, it can help offset those bills.

we're becoming somewhat friends, you know it's only been a month but by now he's heard me come home and ramble and he's remarked I talk a lot so obviously I'm getting comfortable around the guy. for example last night I brought up how awful dipping was for his teeth..(the dude has one in first thing after breakfast or in place of, and every night before bed! gee whiz. and it's still gross when I notice bits in his toothbrush there by the sink but anyway..........)
and I feel more comfortable playing a bit of piano while he's around. Last night we talked about how he played two years of junior college baseball and then was on a ski team for a year. I'm not sure what future plans he has now, other than save money while living with me paying cheap rent so he can buy a newer car.
BUT, the reason I'm posting about the roomate is his COMPLETE CARELESSNESS when using my computer. What I mean, and I already shared this with Golden Boy, two nights ago, I'm at my computer in my room typing a few emails before bed, and I look down and notice on the floor right next to my chair, my roomate's big green bottle of hair conditioner that is usually sitting on the shelf in the shower. GEE WHIZ I mean if you are going to masturbate in someone else's room, at LEAST take the lube with you when you leave. It's not really much of a turn-on since he's straight and all, however it definitely tells me my roomate is as normal as the next guy, or me in this case, guys who need to stroke one out every now and then. Hopefully I won't find any cumrag left in there. I think the guy must be the type to stroke up into his hand and then get up immediately to wash. I know my little towell has been left on the side of my bed on the floor in plain view a few times, so I've wondered if he'd ever pick up on what it is. ha
so overall, great roomate, we're getting along great, and I'm saving the rent money in my dresser drawer for a bit of mad money, until I decided how I might want to be responsible with it and save for something....

Opposition alliance is born
The immediate fallout of Khaunte's arrest is open convergence of all the Oppn parties
The tidings are clear. An alliance of opposition parties and independents is born in Goa, de-facto, courtesy, a faux pas by the powers that be that saw youthful Porvorim MLA (Independent) Rohan Khaunte being arrested at midnight and then bailed out on a complaint made by Bharatiya Janata Party spokesperson Premanand Mahambre that the legislator had threatened him while being in the precincts of the State Assembly complex last week for referring to the business and properties of the MLA while addressing a press conference earlier in the day. The unsavoury incident saw the entire opposition barging into the Raj Bhavan to seek intervention of Governor Satya Pal Malik in the matter.
After all, a former cabinet colleague of Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant and that of his predecessor Manohar Parrikar has been humiliated by BJP itself, now that political equations have changed corners following large scale defection (they call it merger) of Congress legislators with the ruling party months ago. What is to be regretted is that an otherwise minor matter has been blown out of proportion, privileges of legislators have been guillotined and the normal inquiry process to be conducted before taking any serious action against the members of the House is apparently ignored and forgotten. No wonder, therefore, that the Assembly witnessed avoidable incidents like senior lawmakers like Vijai Sardesai besides Khaunte having been hounded out with the help of marshals took place before all the opposition MLAs rushed to the Raj Bhavan to seek justice from the Governor.
The elder of the House Pratapsinh Rane, who had the longest innings as the chief minister besides holding the post of Speaker himself, was apparently annoyed over the fact as he believed that Speaker Rajesh Patnekar should have at least inquired before taking action i.e. authorising the police to arrest Khaunte. The immunity cover granted to legislators under Article 194 of the Constitution seems to have been ignored. The joke is that a person who is not a member or functionary of the House complaints against a Member of the House about a verbal exchange between the two in the assembly complex and the police action is taken against the MLA and, that too, at midnight as if a serious emergency had arisen. Rane was witness to the duo talking to each other. And, what was the threat given by Khaunte to Mahambre? Mahambre's complaint is that the MLA held his wrist tight and told him that he too would show him the properties of his (Mahambre's) mother and father, as per media reports. Are the MLAs supposed to keep q
uiet when a BJP spokesperson makes certain allegations against them?
Why is the Chief Minister maintaining silence over the episode? Obviously, Dr Sawant could have prevented arrest of Khaunte though permissions for such things are the prerogative of the Speaker. He holds the home portfolio and could have certainly asked the police to make at least preliminary inquiry into the allegations listed against the MLA by his partyman. Arrest is not the sole answer to such complaints. And, if the BJP thinks that it can win the Porvorim seat by attempting to tarnish the fair image of Khaunte, it is sadly mistaken. For, Khaunte is too a popular leader of the constituency and is known for nursing it assiduously. The various public utility projects undertaken by him while he was a minister could be envy of any of his contemporaries. Now, he has earned extra sympathy because of his arrest at midnight. BJP would certainly try to dent his image.
And, why Malik Sahab is maintaining stoic silence? As the head of the State he has authority to set things right. After the meeting with the opposition legislators, who were led by Leader of the Opposition Digambar Kamat, not a word has emerged from the gubernatorial mansion. The opposition members were only seeking intervention and not interference in the matter so as not to clash with the prerogatives of the Speaker though presiding officers of legislatures are guided by expressed rules and regulation. There is well established consensus that presiding officers should function independently bereft of their party affiliations while deciding the official business. A decision to this effect was taken by presiding officers' conference way back in 1964 whereby speakers were exhorted to shed party labels upon occupying the chair and this particular view has been given credence during the formation of the anti-defection law or the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution 32 years ago. A specific provision has been made
in the Schedule to insulate from disqualification those presiding officers resign from their parties to function independently during the pendency of this post.
What Khaunte and his colleagues in the opposition were requesting the chair was to provide them the CCTV surveillance footage of the confrontation between the MLA and the relevant correspondent including the complaint made by Mahambre to the Speaker, the letter of the police seeking Speaker's permission to effect arrest and Speaker's guidance to the police thereof. No law prevents provision of this information to the opposition members. This information along with a statement from Pratapsinh Rane should help bare the facts so that the people would be free to draw their inferences. In any case, the members of the house cannot be denied of this relevant information. And, because they were not getting this information that the opposition members rushed to the Governor to seek his intervention.
The immediate fallout of Khaunte's arrest is the open convergence of all the opposition parties and individuals to function as one group to protect their privileges and simultaneously confront the BJP government on matters of public importance. In fact, the idea of opposition alliance has taken a firm shape and this is something which the ruling dispensation should worry about particularly in view of the fact that barely two years remain for the next bout of assembly elections. Coming together of resurgent Congress Party and the Goa Forward Party besides the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party and independents like Khaunte could be a force to reckon with at the hustings. The Congress Party is just waiting for taking revenge against BJP because the latter initially deprived it of coming to power despite having emerged the largest group in the house of 40 and subsequently decimating it at regular intervals.
The short budget session of the house is since over. The report of the Comptroller and Auditor General has exposed the real image of the State administration and poor performance of various departments and public sector units. With the major issue of resumption of mineral ore mining industry would take months, if not years, as per the current indications, a war of attrition between the ruling dispensation and the de-facto opposition alliance could release lots of heat to warm up body politic.

Amazon runs data centers for its online services and owns generators or purchases electricity corresponding to its consumption, mostly renewable energy.[139] Amazon contracted with Avangrid to build and operate the first wind farm in North Carolina to power Amazon's Virginia data centers. The wind farm was built and began operating in December 2016 despite opposition from President Trump and some North Carolina Republican legislators.[140][141][142][143][144]
Clearly, what's needed is an authoritative guide to quality online stores. Lisa and Jonathan Price visited more than 8,000 sites, and they rejected most of them. They sought online stores with secure ordering and stores that guarantee they won't pass your personal information along to other companies. They also looked for stores with fast and convenient search engines, full product descriptions, detailed pricing and shipping information, and reviews by critics and customers, as well as reasonable pricing, clear return policies, and lucid instructions.
Cheap TVs - As previously mentioned, both Amazon and Best Buy are going to have some really cheap TVs for Black Friday this year. Amazon will have more off-brand models, while Best Buy will feature premium brands. Expect Amazon to feature another off-brand 32-inch TV for $69.99 and I expect Best Buy will offer a 50-Inch 4K TV for $169.99 and 55-inch 4K TV for $219.99 - both from decent brands.
In 2013, Amazon secured a US$600 million contract with the CIA, which poses a potential conflict of interest involving the Bezos-owned The Washington Post and his newspaper's coverage of the CIA.[200] Kate Martin, director of the Center for National Security Studies, said, "It's a serious potential conflict of interest for a major newspaper like The Washington Post to have a contractual relationship with the government and the most secret part of the government."[201] This was later followed by a US$10 billion contract with the Department of Defence.[155]
For ecommerce merchants, comparison shopping engines are an opportunity to put your products in front of very interested buyers. These are not people glancing at a virtual storefront like a window shopper at the mall. Rather, CSE users typically have already made the decision to buy and are simply looking for the best deal. With their high-intent to purchase, comparison shoppers are often an ideal audience for promoting your products.
The company has also invested in a number of growing firms, both in the United States and Internationally.[67][68] In 2014, Amazon purchased top level domain .buy in auction for over $4 million.[69][70] The company has invested in brands that offer a wide range of services and products, including Engine Yard, a Ruby-on-Rails platform as a service company,[71] and Living Social, a local deal site.[72]

In November 2015, Amazon opened its first physical bookstore location. It is named Amazon Books and is located in University Village in Seattle. The store is 5,500 square feet and prices for all products match those on its website.[149] Amazon will open its tenth physical book store in 2017;[150] media speculation suggests Amazon plans to eventually roll out 300 to 400 bookstores around the country.[149] Amazon plans to open brick and mortar bookstores in Germany.[151]
On average, customers tend to visit at least three websites before making their purchase decision. As a general rule, the more money that a customer is planning to spend on a product, the longer they're going to be searching for the best deals online. For instance, when it comes to smartphones, customers tend to spend much longer to compare prices, than when they compare book prices. That's why it's no surprise that searching for iPhone price comparisons is a very popular search query.
Associates can access the Amazon catalog directly on their websites by using the Amazon Web Services (AWS) XML service. A new affiliate product, aStore, allows Associates to embed a subset of Amazon products within another website, or linked to another website. In June 2010, Amazon Seller Product Suggestions was launched (rumored to be internally called "Project Genesis") to provide more transparency to sellers by recommending specific products to third-party sellers to sell on Amazon. Products suggested are based on customers' browsing history.[133]

In September 2017, Amazon announced plans to locate a second headquarters in a metropolitan area with at least a million people.[45] Cities needed to submit their presentations by October 19, 2017 for the project called HQ2.[46] The $5 billion second headquarters, starting with 500,000 square feet and eventually expanding to as much as 8 million square feet, may have as many as 50,000 employees.[47] In 2017, Amazon announced it would build a new downtown Seattle building with space for Mary's Place, a local charity in 2020.[48]
Some other large e-commerce sellers use Amazon to sell their products in addition to selling them through their own websites. The sales are processed through Amazon.com and end up at individual sellers for processing and order fulfillment and Amazon leases space for these retailers. Small sellers of used and new goods go to Amazon Marketplace to offer goods at a fixed price.[148] Amazon also employs the use of drop shippers or meta sellers. These are members or entities that advertise goods on Amazon who order these goods direct from other competing websites but usually from other Amazon members. These meta sellers may have millions of products listed, have large transaction numbers and are grouped alongside other less prolific members giving them credibility as just someone who has been in business for a long time. Markup is anywhere from 50% to 100% and sometimes more, these sellers maintain that items are in stock when the opposite is true. As Amazon increases their dominance in the marketplace these drop shippers have become more and more commonplace in recent years.[citation needed]

It has also partnered with popular brands among teens. Nike, for example, became a partner seller on Amazon last summer. Snapchat users can shop on Amazon easily, too. As of last month, some Snapchat users are able to point its camera at an item or barcode and buy it from Amazon. Snapchat is the second-most used social media among teens after Instagram, according to the Piper Jaffray survey.
