Ladbrokes Premiership
Celtic have a one-point lead at the top of the table and enjoy a 100% home record in the Ladbrokes Premiership this season going into Saturday's Parkhead clash with a Hamilton Accies team now just a point above the relegation zone.
Second-placed Kilmarnock face Aberdeen in a huge game at Pittodrie - the Dons will leapfrog their opponents if they gain revenge for a 2-0 defeat when the teams last met in the North East. St Johnstone, who have the best away record in the top flight, are fifth in the table after three straight wins. Saints haven't conceded a goal in any of their last six away matches as they prepare to face Hearts at Tynecastle. Also on Saturday, Dundee are looking to build on their midweek win at Tynecastle when they play Motherwell at the Kilmac Stadium at Dens Park.
There are two games on Sunday - both of them live on Sky Sports. Bottom club St Mirren take on Hibernian in Paisley followed by Livingston against Rangers at the Tony Macaroni Arena, with all four teams looking to bounce back from midweek defeats.
Ladbrokes Championship
There's Friday night football at Somerset Park as Ayr United play Dundee United, live on BT Sport. A win for Ayr would take them above leaders Ross County on goal difference while a United success would move them level on points with the Staggies.
County are at home to Alloa on Saturday, with Jim Goodwin's visitors unbeaten in their last six Championship matches. Queen of the South, who occupy the final play-off place and are seeking a third straight league win, travel to Glasgow to play bottom club Partick Thistle.
Falkirk are still seeking their first home win of the season against an Inverness CT side who have lost just once away while Morton, who are two points outside the top four, face Dunfermline Athletic at Cappielow.
Ladbrokes League 1
Arbroath are 13 points clear at the top going into Saturday's local derby with Forfar Athletic at Gayfield but the fourth-placed Loons have also been in good form of late.
Second-placed Raith Rovers are away to a Brechin City team who halted their run of defeats by beating Dumbarton recently while third-placed East Fife, with four wins in the last five in League 1, make the long haul to Stranraer.
Bottom club Stenhousemuir held Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup last week and face an Airdrieonians team with play-off aspirations at Ochilview. Dumbarton are at home to Montrose in the day's other game.
Ladbrokes League 2
Peterhead went top of the table last weekend after a fourth win in five games and make the long journey south to play an Annan Athletic team who occupy the final play-off spot.
Long-time leaders Edinburgh City slipped to second spot ahead of their trip to Elgin City, who are on a run of three straight defeats. Third-placed Clyde have won five on the trot and are 10 unbeaten going into their Broadwood encounter with Cowdenbeath.
Bottom club Albion Rovers are aiming to complete a home double against Stirling Albion after winning in September but the Binos have lost just one of their last 10 games. Queen's Park and Berwick Rangers are both looking to end poor runs when they go head to head at Hampden.

One of my favourite estate agency quotes has always been "If you have the best stock of well priced properties, the buyers will find you", and it certainly stands the test of time.
Stock remains king in our industry and there are plenty of agents who still fail to maximise every listing opportunity.
The subject matter that my existing and new client firms are requesting us to cover on our forthcoming training sessions serves as a clear barometer as to the typical challenges that the market is throwing their way, and whilst there has been a noticeable upturn in enquiries about selling skills training, there remains a high demand for courses aimed at increasing the quality and quantity of instructions, in both the sales and lettings sector.
Already in 2017, we have booked time to work with a large number of agents on this crucial element of their businesses, reviewing and perfecting the key stages of their "instruction operation" or "listing process". How to win the business by being seen as different from the competition is one of the most significant areas to be given attention.
Many firms are already good at what they do. However, my constant mantra with these companies is that "good is no longer good enough".
Pretty much all agents who come through challenging market conditions must be "good" to have done so, therefore all agents in business right now who conduct business to a "good" standard will almost certainly be perceived as the same as everyone else.
In turn, if landlords and vendors perceive potential selling/letting agents as similar in standard and approach, those clients tend to base their judgement on which agent to instruct upon the most basic differentiator – the fee.
This is a disaster for most agents, assuming you are not one of those who is looking to rely on getting instructions by being the cheapest. Indeed, with transaction numbers predicted by many experts to be less than the already lowish levels of 2016 and before, charging cheap fees may well represent a slow painful death.
The best practice principles in securing quality instructions against high price/low fee competitors are too numerous to list here; however, a few essentials should be borne in mind.
One exercise we have conducted on recent training courses has been to issue a questionnaire to all the attendees that asks about the detail of their company's services as well as those of the main competitors.
Questions include ones about opening hours, number of property portals used, years of trading, number of completed sales in the catchment area over the previous 12 months, amount of combined staff industry experience, membership of trade bodies/affinity groups and lots more.
It has been fascinating to see what a struggle it is for a large proportion of valuers to answer the questions accurately with confidence – even the ones relating to their own proposition, let alone that of their rivals! One company's valuers, when asked how many associated branches their firm had, gave a range of answers from 200 to 1,500!
The old adage that "People buy differences" in selling is as relevant now as it has ever been. It is hard to see how a valuer can sell the "differences" of their service offering against a competitor when he/she has not grasped the detail of either.
This is an example of a lack of knowledge which makes a valuer vulnerable to a superior clued-up rival. Plugging this knowledge gap is relatively easy with a well-structured training session (and perhaps a mystery shopper call or two to local agents). Once full knowledge is in place, it becomes clear which elements are your strengths versus the weaknesses of the other agents.
This in turn ensures that the competent valuer can highlight those important differences between his/her services and the competition's.
Crucially, the valuer has to be seen as the most capable and confident individual so as to effect a relationship of trust and a clear impression of differentiation. The result of that approach is that the potential client perceives clear, tangible differences between the valuer's capabilities and the service offerings leading to them weighing up whose services will secure the best result in terms of price, speed and quality of buyer.
The ultimate upshot of that deliberation is that the fee becomes of secondary importance in the decision making process.
There are many other behavioural improvements that we have instilled in valuers which contribute to success – suffice to say that they are all geared to ensuring the individual stands out from the crowd.
Trying out the above principles within the training environment provides valuers with an opportunity in a no-risk situation to become comfortable with those techniques before putting them into action in the real world.
This is another key part on the road to success, not always built in to an estate agency's culture. Whilst this "role play" element of their development initially worries some valuers, the fact remains that "The more you sweat in practice, the less you bleed in battle".

THE invocation of daimoku is the driving force to enlightenment and revitalize one's life, constantly spurring it on. Daimoku will turn suffering into a spring-board for growth and progress.
STUDY is a kind of contest. In a contest, whether it is in the arts, in sports or in work, you are bound to be defeated if you lose the will, the energy, that drives you on to the finish line. You must never allow yourself to be held back by the past, never forget to always press forward, starting here, starting now, starting today.
BUDDHISM is winning, and then winning again. When you win you must be sure not to create a cause for future defeat. For it is precisely when you win that you must create a cause that will lead yet to another victory.
WE must not be cowardly. Time and again, Nichiren Daishonin admonished his followers, "Nichiren's disciples cannot accomplish anything if they are cowardly." (WND, p 481) A cowardly person cannot realise victory in life. Unless we have the courage to really dedicate our lives to kosen-rufu, we cannot construct true happiness for ourselves and others.
IT is important to live with tenacity, right to the very end, to boldly write your own history in your own unique way. There is no need for you to be resentful or jealous of others. We possess the Gohonzon, unsurpassed in the world. And we are able to freely tap the infinite treasures that exist within our lives.

I've got to give it up for Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs.
I've got to give it up for Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Just a couple of months ago, they owned a paltry 1-5 record and their playoff hopes appeared to be as dead as roadkill.
But, eight consecutive wins later, the Chiefs are knocking on the door of the AFC West Division title.
A few years ago, I thought the San Francisco 49ers made a major miscalculation in not trying to retain Alex Smith as quarterback.
When he went to the Chiefs, I felt better days were coming to Kansas City.
Excuse me while I rub my buttons (I don't get to do that very often).
Of course, there are two games remaining. But, I do like the Chiefs' chances of making a strong finish.

Winix Air Purifier C535: Review & Specs 2019
Winix makes a wonderful class of air purifiers and Winix Air Purifier C535 is an attractive air purifier in all aspects. It has decent filtration performance, well spec including Auto/ Sleep mode and a price everyone can agree on. Winix is a great brand with many different air purifiers on offer. The fact that Winix is putting more effort into this segment with the series of low-range devices, continues to show the impact of this company to the consumers with low on budget. But what makes the c535 different from the others? What makes this model the most suitable one for you, if at all? Let's go into the details and pull it apart. So far, we have done the Winix Air Purifier C535 Review to help you know whether to buy it or not.
Winix Air Purifier C535 Features
Winix Air Purifier C535 has many features, true HEPA filter, ability to capture allergens, odor eliminating and use of the super advanced PlasmaWave technology. Winix Air Purifier c535 would suit someone who prefers pale, snowy-colored appliances in their home. The exterior is a fresh white color, with a black control panel. It's a larger model than others on the market and has a wide, rectangular shape.
True HEPA Filters
The Winix Air Purifier c535 is no different, and the combination of both True HEPA filter and PlasmaWave Technology is pretty on the top of general air filtration in low-range. It has a 3-stage system with a true-HEPA filter, carbon filter for reducing odors, and PlasmaWave for neutralising nasties such as smells, gasses and bacteria. The True HEPA Filter that captures 99.97% of as small as 0.3 microns allergens, virus particles, pollen, mold and fungi particles. Some other techniques that do not include filters are just eliminating particles by removing them from the air, but they will still stay in the room. And that is the essential feature of Winix C535, ability to remove airborne particles from the room.
PlasmaWave Technology
PlasmaWave basically gets rid of harmful bugs in the air such as viruses, bacteria and pollutants. This technology is one kind of ionizer, which can further reduce the amount of pollutants. PlasmaWave technology has the power to neutralize gasses, toxins, bacteria, viruses, and smells. With combining PlasmaWave Technology with the use of carbon filters, you can be assured that the bad odor will be removed from your home in no time. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) certified the Winix PlasmaWave technology as "ozone free", but this means that the ozone emitted is beneath a certain threshold. this is one kinds of ionizers. However, the normal ionizer will emit only negative ions to charge the pollutants back to something like a collector plate. The PlasmaWave, however, emits both negative and positive ions, to form hydroxyls that attack airborne pollutants such as viruses, bacteria, germs, odors, and chemical gases (VOCs).
Remote Controlled
Winix Air Purifier c535 comes with a simple remote controller through which you can choose settings and turn on features and options. By using a remote controller, you won't need to stand up and go to the corner to set the fan speed on a higher level. As long as you are within a 20-foot radius of the unit, you can control the fan speed and mode without getting up. ave the remote next to the bed and either switch the unit off, or adjust the mode to "sleep" without leaving the sheets.
When you look at Winix Air Purifier c535, you will see an average size box that will fit any room. The box is nothing special and even if you place it in the middle of the room people will just ignore it. It is enough for the 23.6-inch air purifier to be firmly put anywhere in your home without weirdness. The Winix Air Purifier c535 is only 15.4 lbs, and with two handles from both sides, you can move this air purifier easily. Also, because of the small base, the Winix c535 must be put on hard and plat surfaces to work properly. On top of the Winix Air Purifier c535, we will have the traditional control panel, as well as the air outlet grill. Below is the LED light indicator, which indicate the current indoor air quality.
Room Coverage of Winix Air Purifier c535
The room coverage of this air purifier is 360 square feet. The CADR of Winix Air Purifier c535 is 243 Dust/ 232 Smoke/ 246 Pollen (cfm). With the higher CADR rating than most of other Winix devices.
Remove Allergens & Bad Odor
With this air purifier, you will remove mold spores, dust, pet dander. Polen, microbes and even smoke from the room. By removing allergens, your allergies will not be triggered so often or even at all. Usually, air purifiers have activated carbon filter which is not that big. Any carbon filter will remove odor, but the efficiency and power are measured by the size. The bigger the carbon filter it will faster remove bad smells. Now I said that Winix C535 has four carbon filters, that only means that Winix Air Purifier c535 is the ideal device to eliminate bad odors.
Noise Level of Winix Air Purifier c535
In the case of Winix Air Purifier c535, the noise level is only 28 decibels (db), which is lower than even the whisper. Of course, when you run the air purifier on Turbo setting, you will hear the sound, but it is just one kind of white noise and won't distract you.
Power Consumption
Power consumption of this Winix C535 is about 70 watts. For using Winix C535 8 hours per day, it would cost you about $25 per year (approx.).
The Winix Air Purifier C535 launched at $199, and will drop down a lot if you follow our deal later.
The pre-filter is a permanent filter which needs to be cleaned every 2 weeks. Use the brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner to remove gathered dust. If it's still not looking good, give it a quick rinse with plain water and leave to dry. Carbon pre-filter is certainly NOT washable, it must be replaced every 3 months. True-HEPA filter is also NOT washable and it must be replaced every 12 months.
There are 2 true-HEPA filters and 8 carbon pre-filters in the box with the air purifier. These will last you for two years, which is pretty great. You need to do both, clean and replace. The pre-filter is permanent and needs to be cleaned every fortnight for the best efficiency. However, the carbon pre-filter cannot be washed and it must be replaced every 3 months. The true-HEPA filter cannot be washed either and it must be replaced once a year. There is a "check filter" light to indicate when you need to check and replace the true HEPA filter.
Again, we will have to cry for the air filter cost of a Winix air purifier. With the Winix Air Purifier c535, you need to pay for $69 each year. This price is at least $20 higher than the average of other air purifiers in the low-range.
PROS AND CONS of Winix Air Purifier C535
|+ Great value for money
+ Affordable Air Purifier & Filters
+ Solid built
+ Great performance with PlasmaWave technology
+ High-Quality Brand
+ High Filter Efficiency
+ Powerful odor Removing System

You are having many good reasons to give it a try like the quality of the production and value for money you will be getting. Winix is a company that is a long time working on air purifiers. Because of that long-lasting tradition they can offer you good warranty plans which ensure your device is working correctly. Yes, the filtration, quietness and odor-reducing abilities are great.
I can recommend it to everyone. People who are just looking for fresh, clean air all the way to the people fighting against allergies, everyone can use Winix C535. The price of the C535 is affordable, and everyone can get it. Maintenance costs are low, the energy spent on running Winix C535 is also low.

A detached garage with wood shingle facade painted in white evokes the look of a carriage house and echoes the style of the adjacent French country-style home. Above the garage is a small guest apartment with a balcony from which to enjoy views of the wooded property in Atlanta, Georgia.
This picturesque home features a brown wood shingle exterior with a slightly red hue, a perfect accent to the gray rooftop and rust colored front door. A three-car garage provides ample space for stowing away vehicles, while perfectly manicured landscaping completes the grand overall look of the estate.
Wood shingles and green window frames make for a charming country-style house. A small wood deck offers shaded outdoor seating.
The exterior of this large home features both wood shingles and board and batten siding. The landscaping includes an attractive water garden area with large stones.
An open-air carport with pebble driveway and stone columns sits beneath a large rustic home with wood siding shingles.
A white shingle accent wall sets a beautiful backdrop in this dainty girl's bedroom. Black bed frames add a pop of contrast color. Stacked pillows are trimmed with a ruffle border complimenting the blush comforter trim. The nightstand features the perfect feminine touches to finish the space.
This dollhouse inspired girl's room features a white shingle accent wall. Ruffled pink bed linens match the blush tone wall and compliment the sweet style of the design inspiration. A white chandelier and nightstand finish the simple, feminine look.
Natural wood shingles weather with age, becoming the lovely dove gray color seen on this home. Landscaping on the front slope provides privacy from the street, and a bench tucked off to the side makes a quiet garden retreat.
This dog house, featured on HGTV All American Handyman, is perfect for a pint-sized family pet. Vented sides, a functional front door and a welcome mat make it a comfy outdoor spot for your four-legged best friend.
Light pink paint on the wall, sconces and a small chandelier give the room a look that's bright and airy as well as feminine. A wood shingle effect accent wall adds texture to the room and is matched by awnings over the windows.
Pale pink brings the perfect sweet look to this girl's bedroom, but black details bring an unexpected pop of accent to the design. The wood shingle theme is tied in with scalloped awnings in the same style, bringing visual balance to the room.
Inspecting your roof regularly is a must. If you see signs of damage, no matter how small, tackle them right away; if moisture reaches the wood sheathing underneath the shingles, the potential repair can get expensive in a hurry.
This metal chimney provides a visual contrast to the home's wooden shingles. The horizontal lines repeat the wood shingles pattern.
For a patio on the lakefront, furnishings needed to be kid-friendly and able to withstand the elements. The solution: aluminum chairs and a fully upholstered sofa made of marine-grade wood and quick dry foam which could handle getting wet. Classic barn lights above the French doors add a decidedly coastal feel.
Half-timbering, shingles and pale blue wood paneling make a compelling mix of textures on the exterior of the home.
Varying heights in architecture brings interesting levels to the exterior appeal of this Italian villa style home. Neutral walls shine against dark brown roof shingles, a neutral driveway and wood garage doors.
The Colonial architecture common in Caribbean buildings is on full display here: pretty green roofs, wood shingles, wide shaded porches.
Wood shingle siding gives this cottage home a traditional Cape Cod look. Brick pavers and stone make up the backyard pool deck.

YouTube star James Charles' upcoming national speaking tour is still on the table … despite tanking hugely in the followers department during his epic feud with fellow beauty vlogger, Tati Westbrook
James' YouTube account is currently hemorrhaging followers — about 3 million at last count — as the fallout over his beef with Tati continues … but so far the staggering loss of clout isn't putting an end to his upcoming Sisters Tour.
The tour begins at the end of June, and venues for 6 of the initial tour stops tell us they're still making plans to host James.
In fact, tickets are still on sale for each of his 24 tour dates — and they ain't exactly going cheap. Some people have been shelling out a whopping $500 to score VIP seats.
Outraged fans on social media have been asking for refunds ever since James had a huge falling out with his mentor, Tati, after he promoted one of her rival beauty products. Those fans are outta luck — we're told all sales are final.
So far, venues are telling us they haven't been notified by tour producers of any change in plans, and production ultimately has the final call. We've reached out to producers, but they've gone radio silent.
Seems a staggering loss of followers won't hurt James too much … at least on the road. He's currently in the midst of a mini-tour in Australia, and still has over 13 MILLION YouTube subscribers.

From Elon Musk to Jeff Bezos, the mega-rich have a lot of crazy ideas that range from fascinating to inspiring. Unfortunately, none of the more than 1,600 billionaires in the world have yet committed to building a dinosaur theme park, a pursuit that is not without its, um, challenges — as the "Jurassic Park" franchise continues to prove time and time again.
Dinosaurs escaping and killing all the tourists aside, there's one other huge obstacle standing in the way of any real-life Jurassic World: its T-Rex-sized price tag.
According to a new video breaking down the costs of a Jurassic Park experience, prospective billionaires would have to cough up $23,432,400,000 just to get the park up and running. The biggest costs are the two islands off Costa Rica — Isla Nublar, where the park is located, and Isla Sorna, where the dinosaurs are raised. Based on real estate figures, billionaire John Hammon and his company InGen would have had to pay $10 billion to secure them. After that, annual operating costs are estimated at a cool $12 billion for food, maintenance, and everything else that greases the gears of a modern theme park/zoo.
The video breaks down costs based on the original "Jurassic Park," but since "Jurassic World" is roughly the realization of John Hammond's dream 22 years later, the numbers are likely similar, give or take a few billion.
Check it out below — and let's hope Bill Gates, Warren Buffett or Mark Zuckerberg see this as an opportunity. Even if dinosaur DNA isn't a viable option, I'd still be willing to visit "Pleistocene Park."

'Sup, Lords of Pain? Happy New Year guys. We are back from our extended festive break and ready to go again. We are however still a little hungover. The wrestling world in general seems to be buzzing right now. We've had another popular Wrestle Kingdom. AEW looks like they are going to be a big deal. Impact is… I don't know are they still a thing? For WWE's part, the move to change at the end of the year looks positive. Raw is improving and SmackDown has been a fun weekly watch for a while now. NXT UK has their first Takeover coming while NXT Classic and 205 Live continue to deliver bright spots most weeks. But who will make our first Power 10 of 2019? Let's find out.
Week Ending 11th January 2019
10. British Strong Style (NXT UK)
Maz: Two years ago the WWE Universe were introduced to a whole new group of British talent. Now they are about to star in their first Takeover and front and centre are the breakout group from January 2017 in Blackpool. This column has shown a lot of love to Pete Dunne and I am sure that won't stop in 2019. His partnership with Tyler Bate and Trent Seven led to a fantastic main event for the go home episode versus the impressive Gallus. Well worth a watch if you need something to warm you up for the big show tonight.
Randy: Dunne and Bate are the foundation of NXT UK, with Seven helping out here and there. Unfortunately for them, Blackpool is the earthquake. Dunne will lose that title and the Grizzled Young Veterans will pip Mustache mountain to the post and become the inaugural NXT UK Tag Team Champions. That's not a bad thing because they're still the bar (no Sheamus and Cesaro) and will continue to be involved in major happenings but it's going to be a rocky start come Saturday.
9. Mustafa Ali (SmackDown Live)
Maz: Do you want to start this one?
Randy: Ugh. You can blow him because this is as good as it gets from me.
Maz: He will convince you one day! There is a lot of love for Ali amongst the columnists of LOP. He has settled into his role on SmackDown Live very nicely indeed and I would expect him to make this list a lot going forward. It will be interesting to see just how well he does in the rumble and also whether there is a big match against the WWE Champion at some point along the Road to WrestleMania.
=7. Bianca Belair (NXT)
Randy: I don't understand the love for her. Ali yes, because he's talented, but Bianca is mediocre. Is it the hair whip? Was cool the first time it happened but I need more. Being the "EST" isn't going to cut it for me when there are more talented ladies like Nikki and Candice out there so the sooner she fails in her title match, the sooner I don't have to waste my time on her.
Maz: I have to take exception here. I've really enjoyed Belair whenever I've seen her. Strong, athletic and has very good command of her character. Certainly more than I've seen from Mrs Gargano thus far. And I actually hate the hair thing. I think it's probably holding her back at this point. I am still not sure what an EST is either but I do know that when the bell rings I am always entertained. This trilogy with Nikki has been fantastic and sets Bianca up nicely for her match with Baszler where she will undoubtedly become DE-FEAT-ED.
=7. Joe Coffey (NXT UK)
Randy: The Iron King has a daunting task ahead of him in Blackpool as he looks to dethrone the Bruiserweight from 600+ day reign as UK Champion. I think he'll do it. Dunne (and Bate) have put NXT UK on the map but it's time for some fresh blood and a heel champion backed by minions is always a good way to go. Throw all the blue eyes at him (faces, for the uneducated British followers) and let him keep an iron grip on the title until someone heroically rises up to beat him. Simple really.
Maz: It's odd. The fact that you had a division for almost two years before you got a show. While on one hand it still feels you need Dunne to help establish the brand, on the other he's held the title for Sammartino amounts of time. While I don't see much use in the Bruiserweight staying on home turf without the title, I have very much enjoyed the rise of Gallus and Joe Coffey has shown to have a lot of talent in the ring and on the mic. In short, I'd be well up for a title change but as long as Dunne would head to the States, preferably wearing SmackDown blue.
6. Rey Mysterio (SmackDown Live)
Mazza: Talking of SmackDown blue, I think the show has found a good way of managing its veterans recently. They have been used well without taking centre stage. I mean don't get me wrong, I could live without them but they are much more palatable in that support role. And Rey did just that this week, helping El Idolo look like the star he has the potential to be.
Randy: Rey continues to roll back the years and as much as I've never been a fan of him, I'm enjoying the matches he's having. If he ends up in a feud with Almas thanks to the tag match ending, I'm all for it. Almas is a rising star and who better (than Kanyon?) to put him over than a fellow Mexican who is already a superstar?
5. Becky Lynch (SmackDown Live)
Randy: I'm actually looking forward to her title match with Asuka as I don't think they've faced off in singles competition before. Asuka will retain of course but I don't mind that because it keeps my prediction alive that Lynch will win the Rumble as a surprise entrant and then choose to face Rousey at Wrestlemania. I just hope people don't turn on Becky before then (you select few idiots know who you are).
Maz: The Man was on top form in the triple threat number one contenders match this week. Becky and Asuka should absolutely tear the house down, however I've put stock in a rumble winner who wrestled earlier in the night before only to end up bitterly disappointed. I think it's a mistake not to have be the focus of the rumble match and that makes me think it's because they are going in a different direction. However there is more than one way to write a great Road to Mania so I am going to try and not be too judgemental just yet.
4. Dean Ambrose & 3 Seth Rollins (Raw)
Maz: I've not enjoyed this Ambrose and Rollins feud much at all. Just as it seems like they are both moving on, they absolutely tear it up. Their falls count anywhere match on Raw this week is what I believe everyone was waiting for at TLC. Better late than never for sure but it is a great time to move on. Rollins is coming off a great couple of weeks with intense promos and he is my favourite to win the rumble and take on the Beast at Mania right now. Will that see Ambrose marginalised once more during Mania season? I hope not but he could get a little lost in the shuffle. I just hope he doesn't get Corbinned to the pre-show again.
Randy: Sorry 'Planuel, but this feud needs out out to pasture. I enjoy Rollins (not as much as him) and Ambrose surprised me with his successful face run but this latest pairing has not gone well. Seth will be moving onto bigger things (hi Brock) and that leaves Dean playing second fiddle as usual. Who will be his next feud? A very good question. No-one springs to mind but that's maybe due to the apathy towards how his heel turn has panned out so far.
2. Andrade Almas (SmackDown Live)
Randy: Almas finally gets a win and it's great to see. The man has a wealth of talent and has a mouthpiece to tout his skills accordingly. He had his matches on Smackdown but he was usually on the losing end. This win, even though it was a tag match, could be the beginning of a roll for Almas and it looks like he could feud with Mysterio and Ali on the way to Wrestlemania. Those matches will be worth the watch, I guarantee it.
Maz: Yep, once again Almas delivers big time when given the opportunity. Will it be back to the background or will WWE follow up on it. There is a bit more room for him on the next PPV with the rumble match so I hold out home for those matches on TV. Quite where it goes from there I am not sure, but I really do hope he gets what his performances deserve.
1. The NEW Daniel Bryan (SmackDown Live)
Randy: Give a raise to the genius that gave Daniel this gimmick. Consistently the most entertaining person on (main roster) WWE television since his heel turn, Bryan knocks it out of the park with the holier than thou attitude. I'll always mention the Punk Straight Edge Society but it shows that if the fed looks back at successful gimmicks and throws it at someone who is known to turn shit into gold, they'll never be boring again. Unfortunately, they're not that smart.
Maz: Imagine at the start of 2018 saying Bryan would be cleared, return to action, turn heel, totally have the crowd turn (without using Brie) and become WWE champion before the year was out. It is testament to just how great he is, not just an amazing technician but with a masterful command of character and crowd manipulation. His promo this week from the concession stand to the ring was innovative and a breath of fresh in style and delivered flawlessly. It will be a staple of compilation clips for years to come and I would be surprised if it was topped this year. He is just an absolute pleasure to watch at the moment. His reinvention following his relatively tepid return is the best thing going in the WWE right now.
So there we have it. 2019 kicks off where 2018 ended, with Daniel Bryan sitting on top of the Power 10. With the build to the rumble continuing I would expect some stiff competition and the Brits have a feature show to try and break the top half of the list. That is next week however. If you have any comments on this week's list, hit us up below or you can get me on Twitter.
You can also check out the latest episode of The Right Side of the Pond, where Plan, Maverick and myself look at the best winning performances in Royal Rumble history.
Until next week, peace!

In mid-October, EPA released new guidance to help protect and improve indoor air quality (IAQ) in school buildings during upgrades, particularly building renovations and energy efficiency upgrades. The guidance is written to help risk managers, school facility managers, building operators, and others prevent and control potentially harmful conditions during building renovations and construction activities that can create dust, introduce new contaminants and contaminant pathways, create or aggravate moisture problems, and result in inadequate ventilation of occupied spaces. The document addresses 23 priority issues and contaminants identified by EPA to be commonly associated with building upgrades, including moisture control and mold, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), exhaust ventilation, protecting IAQ during construction, and job-site safety.
New EPA Guidance Helps Schools Protect and Improve IAQ during Renovations
EPA estimates that about half of U.S. schools have adopted IAQ management plans; however, approximately 25 million children in nearly 60,000 schools remain unprotected by IAQ management programs.

Dominant and submissive are not opposing forces. One cannot actively exist without the other, therefore they are two pieces of a whole.
This is who I am.
When it is absent, I feel incomplete. The pressure builds in my chest and it hurts to breathe… no, it hurts to exist. The pressure was a lot harder to live with when I was a sub — I still feel it, though, as a Domme. Every morning that I have to wake up and make my own coffee, I feel it. It isn't that I mind making my own coffee, I'm very capable and it is not time consuming. When I scoop the coffee grinds into the filter and pour water into the coffeemaker, I know it means I'm missing an important part of myself and my life.
Sure, I'd label myself as a Domme even if I didn't have a sub, but that's all it would be — a label. And that is not enough for me.
The deeper I go, the more contrast there is between Domme and sub, the more balanced I feel, the more complete I am.
I admire those that can engage in a dynamic without emotional involvement, those that find fulfillment in casual play, and those that can be fed from either side of the slash. I, unfortunately, am not one of those people. Entering a fantasy or an illusion of the real thing, when I don't have it truly active in my life, is (somewhat) like giving a crumb to a starving person, it doesn't nourish them, it just intensifies the ache. It is salt on an open wound.
I need passionate commitment. I need depth. I need the other half.

Four Phrases in English to Talk About Your Personal Brand
Lindsay: This is an All Ears English Podcast, Episode 97: "Teaching Tuesday: Four Phrases in English to Talk About Your Personal Brand" [Instrumental]
Gabby: Welcome to the All Ears English Podcast, where you'll finally get real, native English conversation with your hosts, Lindsay McMahon, the 'English Adventurer' and Gabby Wallace, the 'Language Angel,' from Boston, USA.
Gabby: In today's episode, you're gonna (going to) get four super cool ways to talk about yourself as a personal brand in English.
Gabby: Good morning Lindsay.
Lindsay: Good morning Gabby. How are you?
Gabby: I'm doing great. How are you?
Lindsay: Feeling good today. Yeah.
Gabby: Great. All right.
Lindsay: So, today we're gonna talk about Peter's episode yesterday. We talked about personal branding and we learned a lot of good stuff. Did you learn some good things?
Gabby: I did. It's very eye-opening to think about yourself, your person, as a brand.
Lindsay: Right but, as Peter said, that's what we have to do now. So, we wanna (want to) help you guys start to do that and learn how to actually talk about that in English.
Gabby: Yeah. So we're gonna (going to) look at four words or phrases that were used during Monday's episode and talk about how you can use them to talk about your personal brand. So let's get started.
Lindsay: All right. Let's go. So the first one was "uniqueness."
Gabby: Uniqueness is (uh) a way – it's – well, a noun form of "unique" (it's an adjective), to talk about what's special.
Lindsay: Yeah. What's different about you? What's special? What's unique?
What's, what's not like anyone else?
Gabby: Yeah. Yeah.
Lindsay: What is your uniqueness?
Gabby: Yeah. So when you talk about your personal brand, you wanna (want to) talk about what stands out, what is unique. And that has to do with the next (um) verb, the next vocabulary word. A verb: to "differentiate." So when you talk about how you're unique, you differentiate yourself from others.
Lindsay: Yeah. So if everyone else in your field has a background in writing and you have a background in art, for example…
Gabby: (Mm-hm).
Lindsay: …you would want to highlight that. So that's a way to differentiate yourself.
Gabby: Yeah. To differentiate means to show what's different.
Lindsay: Yeah. Definitely. Nice.
Gabby: And what's the next phrase?
Lindsay: The next one is "to point someone towards something."
Gabby: Yeah.
Lindsay: (Mm-hm).
Gabby: Okay. So we can use this in a lot of different ways. (Um) to point someone towards – (ah), you, you're indicating. You're, you're showing them the way. You're…
Lindsay: Moving them in that direction.
Gabby: Right, right. Right.
Lindsay: Yeah.
Gabby: (Um) you can use this in another way, like (um) my writing skills point towards a career in writing. (You know), you could use it talk, to talk about your skills.
Lindsay: Right. Or if you have your own small business, then your website could point your readers towards something that you wanna (want to) feature, something that you want to highlight about, about yourself.
Gabby: Cool. And the last phrase we wanna (want to) share with you is "to dig into."
Lindsay: Ooh. Does this mean I pick up a shovel and I dig?
Gabby: Kind of. That's the idea.
Lindsay: Oh.
Gabby: "To delve into" is another way to say this. To (um), just to explore?
Lindsay: "To get into," right?
Gabby: Yeah.
Lindsay: "Get" can fill in, be filled in there.
Gabby: "To get into."
Lindsay: (Mm-hm).
Gabby: Absolutely. To look into, (uh)…
Lindsay: "To examine."
Gabby: Oh, I like that.
Lindsay: (Mm).
Gabby: Yeah. So to go a little deeper than a surface view – so if you are examining your personal brand, you need to dig into your personality traits, your skills and the way that other people see you.
Lindsay: Definitely. Great example. And how did we use this in the interview yesterday, Gabby?
Gabby: Oh. To introduce Peter's three tips for you, we said, "Okay, let's get started. Let's dig into your three tips."
Lindsay: Exactly. We didn't wanna (want to) waste any time, so we went straight to the point.
Gabby: Yeah.
Lindsay: To dig into it.
Gabby: Great. So we hope that you find these four (uh) vocabulary words or phrases helpful. Let's just take a minute to repeat them. So go ahead and repeat right after us. I'll say the first word: "uniqueness."
Lindsay: And the next one is "to differentiate."
Gabby: "To point someone towards."
Lindsay: And the last one is "to dig into."
Gabby: Awesome.
Lindsay: Nice.
Gabby: Good job. Thanks for listening.
Gabby: We made a special quiz for you for today's episode to test your understanding. You can find it on our website, allearsenglish.com, on today's episode. See you there.
Lindsay: If you wanna (want to) put your ears into English more often, be sure to subscribe to our podcast in iTunes on your computer or on your smartphone. Thanks so much for listening and see you next time.

Forgive me for the hastily-coloured banner
a;sdlasdasd you guys. ;////; Thank you to everyone who's watching this community; I appreciate it! ♥ And so, in celebration of this milestone, I'm doing icon requests again. /o/
❖ requests can be up to 2 icons.
❖ high quality scans, please!
❖ reserves are allowed. o/ Just make sure to give me the image(s) within about... two days?
❖ I might ask you to choose another image, though this will probably only happen if you happen to pick one that I coloured for a friend once. Sorry in advance! o/;
❖ max. number of slots may be extended, depending on how many requests I get (BECAUSE GOSH MY FRIENDS ARE GREEDY PEOPLE—I mean. ilu guys ♥). |D; ... This is becoming more and more likely.
I can't make any guarantees on how soon I'll be able to complete these, what with school and all, but I'll do my best to get them out as soon as possible. o/ Again, thank you to everyone! ♥

Over on the east side of St. Tammany Parish, in the Slidell and Pearl River area, there are several operators that conduct tours in flat bottomed boats of the Honey Island Swamp, with entertaining captains who double as naturalists and give insight into the ecosystem and the flora and fauna that live there. The Honey Island Swamp tours are a great way to see alligators in the wild, as well as boar, raccoons, and numerous bird species. Insta-gator Ranch and Hatchery in Covington is a working alligator ranch where you can touch, hold, even hatch (during hatching season) alligators and learn about the alligator industry and the iconic Louisiana reptile. Global Wildlife Center in Folsom is home to thousands of free-roaming animals from all over the world, and families love to take the safari tours where they can feed the animals and learn about their habits and habitat. Wiggling a camel's hump and getting eye to eye with giraffes are amazing experiences. The wild and wacky Abita Mystery House in Abita Springs is an eccentric collection of outsider art, dioramas, animals like Buford the Bassigator and Darrel the Dogigator, and kids love to marvel at its wackiness.
With miles and miles of bayous, rivers, and swamps, not to mention the glittering jewel of Lake Pontchartrain, there are countless opportunities to paddle, whether it's kayaking down Cane Bayou in Mandeville with Bayou Adventure or Canoe and Trail Adventures or stand up paddle boarding down the Bogue Falaya River thanks to a rental from Brooks Bike Shop. Launch sites abound if you have your own gear. The 31-mile Tammany Trace is a scenic way to pedal through the Northshore. The state's first rails-to trails conversion, it ribbons through green spaces, pine forests and over bridges, and connects five communities. Charter captains in Slidell can help you catch your limit and a good time of speckled trout, redfish, and flounder.
Shoppers love browsing through antiques and boutiques in the historic districts of Slidell and Covington, or down Girod Street in Old Mandeville. The Northshore is an artist's haven, and there are plenty of galleries showcasing local art. Many art markets are held throughout the year in Northshore towns and communities.
The sweet sounds of music abound on the Northshore. The community trailheads in Mandeville and Covington are host to many concert series in the fall and spring, as is Pontchartrain Vineyards, Columbia Street Landing, and Heritage Park in Slidell. The Dew Drop Jazz Hall, built in 1895, is the oldest unaltered jazz hall in the world, and guarded by ancient moss-draped oak trees not far from Mandeville's lakefront. The Abita Opry plays Louisiana roots music at the town hall; its wooden floors and pecky cypress-lined walls create an acoustically satisfying setting.

Firefighters prepared for industrial action in role-expansion dispute
Firefighters have threatened to withdraw from all non-contractual work, as tensions heat up between the union and employers. Fire Brigades Union (FBU) members voted to prepare for industrial action, as firefighters gather in Blackpool for their union's annual conference.
Union leaders will re-enter pay negotiations with a serious threat at their disposal, after firefighters voted overwhelmingly to prepare for industrial action. All work outside of a firefighter's core role, such as water rescues and aerial drone operation, could be withdrawn.
Matt Wrack, FBU general secretary, said:
"Firefighters spend each day risking their lives to save others, but governments and employers have thanked them with a real terms pay cut and massive cuts to jobs, all while piling on new duties onto their daily work. Enough is enough. We will not stand by while the work of firefighters is done for free.
"We don't take industrial action lightly – no community should have to go without their firefighters' vital non-fire work. But we need to make it clear that, unless the government and fire service employers treat firefighters fairly and with respect, we can and will consider all forms of industrial action"
Last month, firefighters rejected a pay proposal from employers, which would have seen them enter into open-ended contracts in return for the possibility of a pay rise, funding for which had not been agreed with government. 58% of FBU members voted in the ballot, exceeding the threshold required for industrial action.
Firefighters rescued 42,000 people from non-fire incidents and nearly 4,000 from fires between April 2017 and March 2018. Central government funding for fire and rescue services has been cut by £155 million from 2016/17 to 2019/20.

I am wanting a list of patients that do not have another appointment and are not on a recall list so I know who we have missed. This report would be perfect if that button worked!

Defining the substrate specificity of cdk4 kinase-cyclin D1 complex.cdk4 kinase-cyclin D1 complex (cdk4/D1) does not phosphorylate all of the sites within retinoblastoma protein (Rb) equally. Comparison of five phosphorylation sites within the 15 kDa C domain of Rb indicates that Ser795 is the preferred site of phosphorylation by cdk4/D1. A series of experiments has been performed to determine the properties of this site that direct preferential phosphorylation. For cdk4/D1, the preferred amino acid at the third position C-terminal to the phosphorylated serine/threonine is arginine. Substitution of other amino acids, including a conservative change to lysine, has dramatic effects on the rates of phosphorylation. This information has been used to mutate less favorable sites in Rb, converting them to sites that are now preferentially phosphorylated by cdk4/D1. A conserved site at Ser842 in the related pocket protein p107 is also preferentially phosphorylated by cdk4/D1. Although Rb and p107 differ significantly in sequence, the Rb Ser795 site can replace the p107 Ser842 site without affecting the rate of phosphorylation. These results suggest that although a determinant of specificity resides in the sequences surrounding the phosphorylated site, the structural context of the site is also a critical parameter of specificity.[1]

How Can You Reduce Household Dust?
How Can You Reduce Household Dust?
If your home is always dusty, then you should change the filters in the climate-control equipment. Experts recommend changing the air filters once a month in an air conditioner or a furnace because the items capture pet hair, pollen and household dust. While there are cheap filters that can capture a small amount of dirt that is floating in the air, it is better to use a high-quality air filter. Installing an air purifier in your home is an additional way to keep the air cleaner so that you don't have any allergic reactions, but you should use an ultraviolet light filter in the device.
Call Us Today to Schedule Routine Maintenance on Your Home's Air Purifier
When you need to have an air conditioner, furnace or air purifier installed in your home, you can call Superior Heating & Cooling in Venice, Fla., for assistance. After the equipment is installed, you can arrange routine maintenance that includes having the ultraviolet filters changed in your air purification and climate-control equipment. With the use of the best air purifiers and filters in your home, it will remain cleaner, and you will have fresher air to breathe.

Here's a simple truth: Waiting is a most difficult thing to do.
Increase the uncertainty of the outcome, and waiting is even harder to do.
Today I face a fairly good chunk of discouragement. It seems that a conversation hasn't been had in the last very long while where friends, family, and loved ones who sit on my couch to cry, lament, and rant that the thing they have been waiting on—desperately waiting for—is seemingly delayed. Some have waited a very long time.
Waiting is tiring. It's a helpless place.
In this day of instant everything, waiting is completely counter-intuitive. We are so accustomed to getting what we want now. Self-made men and women ought to be able to get the job done…and done quickly.
So why so many riches to rags stories?
What happens when you're waiting on God and His train is delayed? What happens when you have prayed your words away and you still have no answer? Or you're watching your coach turn into a pumpkin with only the company of a chiming clock's echo?
Did God even get on the train?
I get it. Sometimes it feels like you're trapped inside a sinister episode of Punked. I've been there. Frequently. It's a place that God seems to like to put me—that is, a waiting place with nowhere to go and nothing to do; a dependent, desperate place.
You probably know one of these waiting places too: The return of a prodigal. A pulse in a dead marriage. A doctor's diagnosis. Healing for a hurt bigger than any bandage. Forgiveness. Acceptance. Understanding. A phone call from an absent friend. A positive pregnancy test. Release from addiction. A check to pay the bills. A new job. Justice. The ache of a missing loved one to diminish. Companionship. Someone to love you.
The waiting place can be a deceptive place. When we've waited long and waited hard and there is still no sign of relief, we call our self "fool" and begin to believe that our waiting was just wasting. Wasting our time. Wasting our faith. Wasting our common sense. Hope brutally crashes on rocks of wasting.
In the wasting we forget who God is. We get all wrapped up in what He isn't doing or what He seems to be ignoring.
I took some time today to remind myself of who God says He is:
"The LORD, the LORD God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth; who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin" Exodus 34:6-7."
Do you hear it? God is not in a hurry. He will take His time. He will take as much time as lovingkindness needs to abound.
Friend, if you are waiting, don't give up. Remember who your God is. Stop worrying about what He will or won't do. Just know that His compassion and grace is on the other side of your waiting. Hold on. Don't give up.
Simple truths are not easy truths. The waiting isn't easy, but it will be worth it.
