In addition to the sudden celebrity fascination with overlined lips and bold brows, waist-training has become the latest body-modification fad. Search Instagram and you'll find that plenty of stars, such as Kim Kardashian, Jessica Alba, Nicki Minaj, Kourtney Kardashian, and Amber Rose have endorsed the amazing waist-whittling abilities of these modern-day corsets.
Some news outlets have decried the claims of celebrities as nothing more than wishful thinking. Critics, such as Mary Jane Minkin, M.D., a clinical professor of ob-gyn at Yale School of Medicine tells Women's Health, "Medically, it doesn't make sense that cinching your waist tightly will make it permanently smaller. Once you take the garment off, your body will return to its usual shape. It's also uncomfortable, restricts your movements, and if you wear it really tight, it can even make it difficult to breathe and theoretically could cause rib damage." On the other hand, other medical professionals stand on the opposing side of the argument. According to Dr. Burton Korelitz, a Manhattan-based gastroenterologist, "A corset is not going to harm anything. You have my reassurance that in almost sixty years of practice it has never come up as a problem."
Corsets are not a new phenomenon, despite the hyper-visibility in the media. The earliest corsets were fashioned out of whalebone, which is the keratinous material found around the upper jaws of baleen whales. However, the actual label of "corset" didn't come into fashion until the early 1800s. I wonder why the waist-trainer is marketed as such, when surely it's simply an old-fashioned corset? Ruben Soto, CEO of HourglassAngel.com, says no: "Today, the category of waist trainers includes workout bands, designed to wear while exercising as well as everyday waist cinchers (usually made with latex with hook and eye closures) to be worn for longer periods of time under clothing, as well as corsets (usually made of cotton with ribbon closure on the back)." Waist-training, it seems, is a modern beauty regimen that is simply influenced by the principle of wearing a corset.
Considering the back-and-forth discourse on waist-training, I had to try it for myself. I decided to experiment with a waist-training from Hourglass Angel, a company which not only sells waist-trainers, but an array of shapewear such as body shapers and girdles. Although there are waist-trainers specifically designed to be worn at the gym, I decided to try out the everyday model, the Classic Cincher by Amia ($54), which can be worn up to 10 hours a day. It's made of 75% rubber covering and 25% cotton lining. The two columns of hook-and-eye closures allows you to adjust the tightness according to your comfort level and waist size. Sizes run from XS-2XL. In addition to the Classic Cincher, the Amia Active Band, which just launched in May, and the Ann Chery Workout Band, are the most popular products for Hourglass Angel. Soto adds, "An everyday waist trainer, like the Amia Cincher, provides slightly lower compression as they are designed to be worn for a longer period of time. Waist trainers used for exercising (like the Amia Active Band), provide higher or stronger compression to help increase sweating in the midsection and are meant to be worn for a shorter period of time." Surprisingly, the Classic Cincher can be worn after pregnancy, unless the individual has certain health reasons that prevent waist-training.
I wore my Classic Cincher for a week and although I didn't instantaneously achieve an hourglass figure, it certainly wasn't as painful as some naysayers claim. The first day I wore it was probably the most uncomfortable. Wearing it for about eight hours while I was at work had an immediate effect on my appetite; I picked at the lunch I'd packed. On a positive note, it did improve my posture. As the week went on, the discomfort was less noticeable and it became easier to fasten the hook-and-eye closures. In the middle of the week, I decided to be a little too ambitious and went for the second set of hooks. I wasn't prepared for the tightness of the waist-trainer and thus had to remove it after about three hours of wear. For those who are worried about allergies, Soto says, "We generally recommend that people wear a tank top underneath their waist trainer, which can help alleviate latex allergies depending on how severe the allergy is. If the latex allergy is severe, we don't recommend wearing latex waist trainers, we'd recommend non-latex waist trainers."
Overall, I highly doubt that I shaved any inches off of my waist in such a short time, but it did create smoother lines when wearing my clothes. After a week, I actually got used to wearing the waist-trainer. The key to achieving any sort of results with waist-training is realizing that it's a gradual process. Jasmine Pagan, Head Seamstress of Sin and Satin, explains to Racked, "The process of waist training is one of disciple and requires a daily regimen to refine the silhouette." Soto echoes Pagan's assessment: "Waist training is a process that, over time and when combined with exercise and healthy eating, can provide a solution to waist reduction. Wearing a waist trainer will give you that immediate slimming look."
If you're thinking about trying waist-training, here are some important parting tips, via Soto:
1) Follow the size chart to buy the correct size waist trainer. Like a bra, a well-fitted waist trainer is key to comfort and providing results.
2) Ensure that the trainer is not too tight. A person's body can change daily, so at times clothing can fit more loose or tight as the day goes on. Take the garment off if it's causing pain or difficulty breathing normally.
3) Wash the waist trainer every few days with gentle shampoo, especially if it is worn often. The washing and drying process helps the waist trainer maintain its shape. Consider multiple trainers.
As with any new diet and/or exercise regimes, speak to your physician if you have any major concerns.

Bills that have something to do with fantasy sports have appeared in 20 of the 50 states by the midpoint of February, a pace that keeps it on par with legislative interest that picked up in 2016.
These bills are of varying importance and content for DraftKings, FanDuel and the rest of the fantasy sports industry. But it still speaks to the interest of state lawmakers of getting involved in the business of daily fantasy sports.
While there are lots of bills out there, not many of them have gone very far, so far. There have been some committee hearings and votes.
The one exception is Mississippi, where both the House and Senate passed legislation. The impetus for action there is a fantasy sports law enacted in 2016 that has a sunset provision for July of this year. The old law was basically a placeholder for a new law to be passed this year.
The fact that there hasn't been a ton of progress isn't surprising. The sausage-making of moving a bill through a legislature is rarely fast, especially early in a session. One would expect momentum to pick up in the spring and summer in many states. Even the state that acted fastest in 2016 — Virginia — didn't pass a bill until March.
The newest bills regarding fantasy sports include:
It's also interesting to examine where bills do not exist, yet:

Welcome to Pusser's West Indies, Ltd. British Virgin Islands
|Sehen Sie auch:
The sea and rum are synonymous, and no rum more akin to the sea and the seaman than PUSSER'S. For more than 300 years, from before the days of Nelson, wooden ships and iron men, Great Britain's Royal Navy issued a daily rum ration on board Their Majesties' ships. This tradition, one of the longest in seafaring history, continued unbroken from 1655 to July 31, 1970, on which day the Navy stopped their daily issue of Pusser's rum.
Pusser's Rum was never sold or offered to the public. If a connoisseur was fortunate enough to obtain a 'tot' or two, he saved it for a very special occasion. Pusser's Rum is said to be more akin to a fine brandy than a rum. Its full rich flavor is unsurpassed by any other rum. If you truly enjoy the flavor of rum, then the rich flavor of Pusser's -- like no other rum -- comes through whatever you may choose to mix it with.
In 1979, Charles Tobias formed Pusser's West Indies in the British Virgin Islands and undertook to resurrect the Pusser's Rum tradition with which he was familiar. After much persuasion, the Admiralty Board of the Royal Navy gave him the blend for the rum and shortly afterwards, Pusser's Rum was being shipped commercially for the first time. In return, the Royal Navy Sailor's Fund, a naval charity, receives a substantial donation from the sale of each case. This contribution, aside from the Fund's original bequest, is the Fund's largest source of income.
In 1979 ex-US marine, Charles ('Chuck') Tobias formed Pussers Limited and built a blending and bottling plant on Tortola in the British Virgin Islands to which he imported pot-still rum distillate from Guyana and Trinidad. He joined forces with ED & F Man of London (they had been Admiralty rum brokers from 1798 to 1970). With the approval of the British Admiralty, who gave permission for the royal ensign to be used on the label, Tobias called his dark product 'British Navy Pusser's Rum' 'pusser' being a corruption of 'purser', the man on a naval ship who supervised the serving of the rum issue. Tobias claimed his drink was blended on Tortola, 'in strict accordance with Royal Navy tradition, and its powerful 95.5 proof strength is exactly the same as the rum served to Nelson's sailors'. In return for receiving the 'secret recipe' from the Admiralty with the help of ED & F Man, Tobias donated 10,000 to the Royal Navy Sailor Fund and agreed to give a further one pound to it for every ninety-seven pound case he sold. Schenley International undertook to handle what were expected to be large sales in the United States. 'The swing internationally' Chuck Tobias is quoted as saying about what he claimed to be the first 'de-luxe' rum, at its launching in 1980, 'is definitely away from those negative mixer-base spirits'.
Owner of Trade mark for PUSSER'S GROG Pusser's Rum Limited.
The Pusser's brand was sold to Jim Beam Brands more than a decade ago so that Pusser's Rum Company stores could expand to the US. But now Jim Beam has sold the brand back to investors from, I'm told, the British Virgin Islands.
While Pusser's that we know today isn't the original it is fairly close. The British Admiralty shared the recipe with Charles Tobias who founded the company in the late 70s.

Firstly, a few brief words about my earlier post this week on how mental illness has touched our marriage. Thank you for reading, sharing, and for the words of support and words of solidarity. Let's keep talking : )
Today I'm talking about something equally personal. I am very thrilled to share that we are pregnant! Yes- again! Baby #5 incase you lost count (easy to lose count with us). So to enter the weekend I offer my very first fashion post on Dressing the Bump: Volume 5.
I love being pregnant. Obviously it has its challenges but I really do treasure this time. However, I used to really not treasure finding clothing that fit and made me feel good. Being pregnant 5 times I have traversed the market for trendy, well made, well priced maternity wear. What I have found is you either have to spend hundreds for well designed stuff, or if you want to be budget conscious you are getting really basic, super casual, kind of boring stuff- or stock is limited so for the good stuff your size is gone super fast. A retailer that has not disappointed me all 5 times has been Thyme Maternity. As I have worked pretty much all the way through my pregnancies, finding on-trend items where I can look polished and feel great (which can be super hard when you feel like a blimp) is such a treat.
This patterned shirt is great as it coordinates with other items in my wardrobe- love being able to wear regular staples from my wardrobe through my pregnancy like this blazer.
Blazer: Smythe. Shirt, Citzens Maternity Jeans: Thyme Maternity. Bracelet: Niki and Lola. Necklace: Tessa and Olivia. Shoes: Steve Madden.
Check back most Fridays for how I will be dressing the bump for the next few months of my pregnancy. We are so excited for another little Canning!!!!
Thanks to Thyme Maternity for partnering with me during this very special time and to Mdd Photography for capturing my growing bump!

Govt cordial to ensure public interest: Sherif
DHAKA, Aug 9, 2018 (BSS) – Land Minister Shamsur Rahman Sherif today said the present government, led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, is working relentlessly to accelerate and modernize the state mechanism in the public interest.
"Sheikh Hasina's government is very cordial to ensure the public interest," the minister said this while speaking at a key-handing over of vehicles ceremony at his Bangladesh Secretariat office here.
Referring to different development activities of the government, he said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is trying to change the fate of the helpless and poor people.
"The Assistant Commissioner of Land has to visit remote areas to see the overall activities of the land offices and perform the job of executive magistrate . . . the present government allocated vehicles for them to gear up their activities," Sherif told assistant commissioners.
A total of 156 vehicles were handed over to the ACs (land) while 192 other vehicles will be distributed very soon.
Senior officials of the ministry were present on the occasion.

Here are some of the specifics that Palestinian leaders wanted to teach their kids:
"Mim" (M) is for Musaddas = pistol
"Qaf" (Q) – is for Qunbula = bomb
"Ra" (R) is for Rassasa = bullet
"Sin" (S) is for Sayf = sword
"Shin" (Sh) is for Shibl = lion cub, but in the vernacular always means child fighter
"Fa" (f) is for fidai (pl. fedayeen) - guerrilla fighter
The designer was Mohieddin Ellabbad, an Egyptian graphic artist who was hired by Dar El Fatah El Arabi, a publishing house for children that was an arm of the PLO's cultural program Dar El Fatah. The entire point of Dar El Fatah was to ensure that Palestinian children grow up with the same revolutionary ideals of the PLO.
Ellabbad's boss was Nabil Shaath, currently the spokesperson for Mahmoud Abbas.
Violence is in Palestinian DNA.

This was the United States' seventh consecutive win since the start of the tournament and it guaranteed them the top spot in Pool G a day early. They remain the only unbeaten team at the World Championship.As soon as they levelled the score against Russia after the fourth set of their Pool E match in Milan, hosts Italy pinned their name to the first place in the final standings. Based on Saturday's results in other pools, the Italians had already secured their trip to Turin even before this game, at the very least as one of the best two pool runners-up. But they missed the chance to delight some 13 thousand fans, cheering them on from the stands, with another victory as Russia put a stop to their six-match winning streak by claiming the tie-breaker.Brazil also made sure they are out of reach on top of Pool F with an impressive shutout of Slovenia in the first ever encounter between these two teams in a major world level competition. At the end of this match, the Serbs could also start celebrating over in Varna, because it was already clear that they would travel to Turin even if they did not finish atop their Pool H.After contributing three aces to Brazil's win over Slovenia, setter Bruno Mossa Rezende celebrates the ticket to the next roundOther Saturday highlights:• Argentina, Canada, Iran and Slovenia no longer have a shot at advancing to the next round, while six teams - Belgium, Bulgaria, France, Netherlands, Poland and Russia - are theoretically still in contention for the two remaining vacancies.• Serbia mastered their sixth consecutive win at the World Championship, this time a shutout of Argentina, which put them on top of Pool H and upped their all-time record against the South American side in major world level competitions to 4-0.• Canada improved their record against Iran in major world level competitions to 3-0, after winning the five-set battle in Pool G in Sofia.• Two Canadians fell one short of the 30-point mark. With 29 points apiece John Gordon Perrin and Nicholas Hoag shared the top scorer honours in the match.• Australia failed to score their first ever win over Belgium in major world level competitions, as the European squad managed a hard-fought straight-setter in their seventh encounter, to stay alive in Pool F.• 15 kill blocks and 13 aces helped the Netherlands recover from Friday's loss to Russia with a four-set victory over Finland for a 5-2 win-loss record that keeps the final six spots within reach.• Defending world champions Poland conceded their second defeat in a row. Earvin Ngapeth unlocked his magic to contribute 26 points, including four aces, to France's four-set win, their first ever over Poland out of their five World Championship encounters.• The game between Italy and Russia in Milan was officially attended by 12,875 spectators, the largest audience at the 2018 World Championship so far.France's Earvin Ngapeth spikes against a two-men Polish blockMatch Centres:• Netherlands - Finland 3-1• Russia - Italy 3-2• Australia - Belgium 0-3• Slovenia - Brazil 0-3• Iran - Canada 2-3• Bulgaria - USA 0-3• Serbia - Argentina 3-0• Poland - France 1-3Fantastic ambience at a sold-out Mediolanum for the game between Italy and RussiaSecond round action will be completed on Sunday with another set of eight matches to be played in the four pools in Milan, Bologna, Sofia and Varna.Match Centres for Sunday, 23 September:• Russia v Finland in Milan (Pool E) at 17:00 local time (15:00 GMT)• Italy v Netherlands in Milan (Pool E) at 21:15 local time (19:15 GMT)• Slovenia v Australia in Bologna (Pool F) at 17:00 local time (15:00 GMT)• Belgium v Brazil in Bologna (Pool F) at 20:30 local time (18:30 GMT)• USA v Iran in Sofia (Pool G) at 17:00 local time (14:00 GMT)• Bulgaria v Canada in Sofia (Pool G) at 20:40 local time (17:40 GMT)• France v Argentina in Varna (Pool H) at 17:00 local time (14:00 GMT)• Poland v Serbia in Varna (Pool H) at 20:40 local time (17:40 GMT)Quick links - Volleyball:FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship Italy-Bulgaria 2018NewsScheduleCompetitionTeamsResults and rankingTicketsVolleyball TV Print this Page News {{item.LocalShortDate}} {{item.Title}} All the News

Maybe they were afraid of the poison in your hand.
Apparently I am not worth saving ,why else would they acknowledge me and then pass on by.
by smiddy3 22 Replies latest jw friends
Maybe they were afraid of the poison in your hand.
Yes they bypass any inactive, DF or DA ones. They also bypass any non JW homes if word has gotten back that the householder was "argumentive". They misapply 2 Timothy 2:23, "Turn down foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that these produce fights." They think this applies to anyone who tries to reason with them from the scriptures instead of just accepting what they are saying.
They are so pre occupied with their own world, ever more narrowed down with wt tunnel vision, that they hav to fend off any challenges. successful lives are their greatest challenge.

Angela Sorac is just 13, but she's been thrust into an adult role. Her mother, Ingrid, has nine children under her care — six of her own, and three from her sister-in-law, who was swept up in an immigration raid in Mississippi last week. Her husband, who was also detained, is the family's sole provider and looks after their 7-year-old son, who has autism.
"Every day, I look at my kids crying," Ingrid said.
Of the 680 people detained, around 300 of them were released, some for humanitarian reasons and others with court dates. But Ingrid's husband, Nery, was not one of them.
His arrest ended up being a case of collateral damage. He did not work at any of the seven plants raided by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, but was in a parking lot dropping off his sister when agents arrived and detained 243 workers. Being at the wrong place at the wrong time has had a devastating effect on his family.
Nery, Ingrid and three of their children
Angela said they had conversations about what may happen.
"Like, if it ever comes to, like, if police cars are close and they were like, 'You know, if this happens, this happens and we just, we just want you to know that we love you very much,'" she said.
Koch Foods, where Nery dropped his sister off for work, said they comply with immigration laws, but can still not know if some of its workers are unauthorized.
CBS News sat down with Mike Hurst, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Mississippi. He said his office is investigating employers who hired undocumented workers.
CBS News asked Hurst why the workers have been separated from their families and put in jail, when the managers who hired them and broke the law are home with their families.
"I'm not gonna say right now what the status of the criminal investigation is," he said.
Investigations aside, for Ingrid and her family, the absence of their father increases their pain and frustration with each passing day.
"It's not easy to lose a family member because you have a very special bond with them," Angela said.
Angela, 13, and her sister Yeranis, 9, talk with Maria Elena Salinas.

My Comment: With all the hype and sensationalism in some places today about the 'reptillian, luciferian, elitists taking over the UN, this video points out the actual new world order and how it has taken over and is demonizing Israel and those who stand for her, and the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I'm not saying there isn't evil being unleased on the world today, but this basic video show's how over time, World power and opinion is turning to rid the world of God's people. What it doesn't show completely, but hints at is how they are accomplishing this, by political and monitary gain. Worshiping man and their own version of the Tower of Babel, instead of God. This is an informative video that will show you facts about how "times they are A changin." I just want to point out that while all this is going on, God is still in control, and prophecy is unfolding. While these leaders "sit at the table and lie to each other", and while they "talk peace & safety," God is still in control, and even tells us what will happen while this is going on. Daniel even goes so far as to tell us that this kingdom will be in power until the 'Ancient of Days take's His seat and judgment books are opened. Which conicides with Revelation. When the 6th seal and 6th trumpet are opened this tower that man has built will tumble. And we will be forced to make a choice. Follow God or follow 'mammon'. Will you be able to make the right choice?
Ambassador Danny Ayalon spreads the truth about the UN. Hypocrisy and cynicism have taken over the United Nations, the delegitimization perpetrators and Israel boycotters take advantage of the UN's image as an advocate of human rights in order to pass anti-Israeli resolutions which attempt to isolate Israel. It is important to spread the truth that the UN has been transformed into a political arena by undemocratic states who trample on human rights, and UN resolutions must be treated accordingly".

Miraah will be among the world's largest solar plants to generate 6,000 tonnes of steam per day used for heavy oil production
Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) and GlassPoint Solar have completed construction on the first block of the Miraah solar plant on schedule and on budget, it was announced on Wednesday.
They said in a statement that it has successfully delivered steam to the Amal West oilfield. Upon completion, Miraah will be among the world's largest solar plants delivering 1,021 MW of peak thermal energy to generate 6,000 tonnes of steam per day used for heavy oil production.
"The safe and successful delivery of solar steam into our network at Amal is a significant milestone for the Miraah project and a major step towards transforming the energy landscape in Oman," said PDO managing director Raoul Restucci.
"Solar-powered oil production is a sustainable, long-term solution to meet the Sultanate's future energy demand and utilise its natural resources most efficiently."
"We are proud to partner with PDO to build a world-class solar industry out of Oman's oil and gas industry roots," added Ben Bierman, chief operating officer and acting CEO of GlassPoint.
"This project is helping put Oman on the global solar energy map, creating new jobs and developing expertise in solar technology innovation, project deployment and manufacturing."
Unlike solar panels that generate electricity, GlassPoint's solution uses large mirrors to concentrate sunlight and boil oilfield water directly into steam. The steam is used for the extraction of viscous or heavy oil as an alternative to steam generated from natural gas.
This milestone is the latest in the collaboration between PDO and GlassPoint that began six years ago when they built the first solar enhanced oil recovery project in the Middle East.

Apple vs. Microsoft
Current Event
Great developments are constantly forming for Apple. Customers, like myself, who may own an iPad or iPhone; but are still PC users will be excited about Apple's new launch.
In The New York Time's article, Apple Exploits Microsoft Hesitation on Office, information surfaced of a new productivity app called iWork. This application is free to anyone who purchases a new Mac computer, mobile device or iPad. Although iWork is not a new product, it was not much competition for Microsoft Office.
Microsoft was reported working on an iPad version of Office in the past, and for unnoted reasons, the application has not been fully developed. The standard cut Apple receives for software sold though the App Store is around 30%. Chief Executive of Microsoft, Steve Ballmer, reported Office is presently working on Office for the iPad, but has not set a date of release. Heather Knox, Microsoft Office Senior Director, made a statement referencing iWork apps. She said a Web-based version of Office is the best free alternative to the traditional Office application. This referred iPad users, to download a free app offered by Microsoft, instead of using its competition iWork.
Although, Apple has extended a free offer to new customers, current customers will have to purchase iWork for their devices. The cost of iWork for existing customers is $9.99 for each application. Totaling around $30 for word processor, Numbers (spreadsheet application), and Keynote (similar to Office's PowerPoint). Those who currently have iWork can upgrade free of charge. Those who purchased iOS7 after September 1, 2013 are also eligible for the free software.
With the mass amount of Apple customers not owning iWorks, the cost comparison with Office is important. As stated, iWorks cost is $9.99 per application, with free upgrades. Microsoft sells an annual subscription to Office for $100 per year. Microsoft also...

So, here's one for the record. :-)
Here's the one I posted last time for Elyssa :
*evil mummy grin*
This photo is blur lah. You wait for next time she rolls on floor (prob don't hv to wait long hehe), then click click click.
For JE, I take video too. :)
Aiyo, kesian. I realise I don't have many photos of C crying probably because when she cries, I get agitated too and don't have the mood to reach out for my camera. Plus, her cries are the "sobbing softly" type, never the "open mouth big big and scream" type haha..
what about rolling on the bathroom floor or dining table? it will be something to laugh at when she's bigger.
Aiyo..so pitiful. Haha..u reminded me to take photos of my baby crying next time. :)
hahhah...poor thing. hmm, i didn't take any of Ashley's crying pic when she was a toddler. silly me!
what happen???
aiyo... I can hear her crying from here! ;p

Race to the future
###Interest in autonomous ships is undoubtedly growing and this week ABS announced it had joined the Unmanned Cargo Ship Development Alliance project in China. The project brings together several Chinese institutions along with Rolls-Royce and Wartsila with the aim of advancing autonomous shipping. The concept ship design which is the ultimate goal of the project is planned to be ready in a little over four years from now. The Chinese project is one of a number that are now running with similar aims. No doubt there will very likely be something concrete to show in the four-year time span and in all likelihood well before that since a demonstration of a remotely operated tug has already been achieved. There is however a very big difference between what is possible and what is practical. The organisations involved in the various projects all have a vested interest in their success and need to demonstrate that they are at the cutting edge of technology, but while science and technicians can create the autonomous ship, it will be for commercial companies and regulators to determine its future. No doubt some pioneering operator can be found to join the projects but waiting for regulators to play catch up may well be the fly in the ointment. Clearly China, is joining Norway and Finland in allowing development to take place in their waters but that does not mean that other countries will be so enthusiastic to do so. The IMO has taken the issue on board but as is well known things can move very slowly there and it would be a brave man that would gamble on regulation being in place that would allow autonomous ships to operate internationally much before ten or fifteen years into the future. The race to the future looks as if it will be more of a marathon than the sprint that some are hoping for. Image courtesy: Rolls-Royce

2 June 2016
This is a guest post by Khaled Naim, CEO of dunnhumby Ventures portfolio company Onfleet.com
If you do a quick Google search, you'll find that a number of "Delivery as a Service" companies have popped up in recent months, all vying to take over your last-mile delivery operations. Tread cautiously. With promises of enhanced transparency, lower overhead, and the ability to pay as you go, come costs which often fail to scale.
When deciding between growing a driver fleet in-house or outsourcing deliveries to a third party, there are many things a company entering the On-Demand space must consider. If not carefully weighed, questions surrounding anticipated delivery volumes, access to steady capital and labor, and future plans for expansion, can derail a new venture before its first paleo meal kit is even delivered.
Ridesharing service Sidecar was one of the first B2C companies to pivot into the delivery space before ceasing operations at the end of 2015. Announcing this move as People + Packages: The Future of Same-Day Delivery, Sidecar priced deliveries within a 3-mile radius at an average of $10.66 a pop—$15.83 for distances between 3 and 8 miles. Though customers received discounts for forecasting their delivery needs ahead of time and reserving driver capacity, these rates were far from making them the "the fastest, most affordable, seamless and scalable same-day delivery solution."
When the average meal on Sprig, Munchery, and Caviar costs around $15, there's just no way these companies are sinking over 70% of that price into delivery fulfillment alone. Yet surprisingly, Sidecar's rates are in line with the pricing scales published by UberRush and Postmates.
If you haven't heard, Uber and Postmates both now offer the ability to outsource your delivery operations to their existing fleets of drivers and delivery partners. It's a win-win for them, enabling the further monetization and incentivization of an existing labor force hungry for volume. Each service promises to bring the "Uber experience" to any business offering on-demand or scheduled deliveries. This includes recipient-facing tracking, flexible usage-based payment plans, and the ability to pre-plan and optimize delivery routes.
Some newcomers in the space, including Din, have opted to leverage third-party couriers and driver networks rather than build their own private fleet. By leveraging the existing on-demand infrastructure, upfront recruiting and training costs can be deferred while iterating on the core product to achieve product-market fit. This strategy also allows for more flexibility and rapid market expansion, but does it make financial sense for the majority of delivery-reliant companies?
To answer this question, we crunched the numbers from a dataset of over 1.5 million Onfleet-powered deliveries completed over the past 12 months.
Assuming an average delivery distance of 3.16 miles and duration of 12.4 minutes, the unit economics show that the adoption of such services is cost prohibitive at scale. Pulling rates directly from Uber and Postmates' pilot cities—San Francisco, New York, and Chicago—we've priced their average delivery costs at higher than what was being offered by Sidecar.
In fact, when compared to the cost of simply keeping delivery operations in-house, the gap widens even further. To calculate the cost of maintaining a private fleet plus the driver tracking functionality consumers have come to expect, we took into account each city's minimum wage (inflated by 50% to cover fuel and vehicle costs), and ancillary software costs.
Results: On average, an in-house fleet is 46% cheaper than UberRush and 50% cheaper than Postmates. On the low end, assuming a modest 2,000 deliveries each month, this translates to an average monthly savings of $6,292 over UberRush and $7,785 over Postmates—much needed funds that a growing startup or established business can use to: 1) add another engineer to payroll, 2) buy a state of the art cappuccino machine for the office, or 3) reserve a half dozen Tesla Model 3's. Of course, total cost savings only compound as delivery volumes increase.
All kidding aside, due to the relative infancy of Uber and Postmates' B2B side projects, service is still limited to major US metro areas. And as with all non-core offerings, there's a chance they will ultimately decide to halt further investment and support in these ventures. When Sidecar closed up shop, customers who had relied on their short-lived delivery fulfillment service were forced to scramble for another solution. Many went dark for weeks, or permanently, unable to keep up with customer demand in the absence of a mission critical component of their logistics operations.
Beyond the inherent cost savings, making the choice to recruit and brand your own drivers enables a level of quality, control, and consistency that's virtually absent from the current alternatives out there. For many in the On-Demand space—who exist in app stores, not storefronts—the delivery experience is often the only point of direct contact with the end customer. To outsource the face of your company to a revolving door of Uber or Postmates contractors is to squander an invaluable channel and touchpoint.
Furthermore, investing in an in-house model affords the freedom to define your own business model and product offering. According to UberRush FAQ's, the following goods are expressly prohibited from inclusion: people, animals, alcohol (or any goods that require ID), drug paraphernalia, illegal or dangerous items, and items "for which you do not have permission to send."
While the rationale behind some of these restrictions is obvious (live tiger deliveries are so 2015), if you're one of the many On-Demand startups delivering cannabis, alcohol, or In-N-Out, you'll have to look elsewhere for your delivery fulfillment needs.
Regularly send large items? If so, you won't be able to count on UberRush drivers who are capped at 50 lbs for cars and 30 lbs for bikes. Everyone's favorite boba shop is cash-only? Tough luck. Uber couriers are not authorized to purchase items for delivery, meaning you'll need to find a way to prepay any restaurant or grocery pickup before the driver even arrives. Customer running late to meet your delivery person? Uber messengers will wait a maximum of 5 minutes at a given stop before marking it as undeliverable and returning the package to the pickup location—all at your expense.
In today's tepid fundraising climate, startups can no longer afford to sustain user acquisition models based on indiscriminate spending alone. It goes without saying that minimizing the operational costs that go into each fulfilled order has a direct impact on profitability, and thus, a company's long-term survival.
In certain cases, you will find that it makes sense to outsource at least initially to avoid needless investment while testing out new markets or meeting overflow demand during peak times. However, as soon as volume permits, moving your operations in-house appears to be the only way to profitably scale.

Super Dollina's bear well their name, because they are upscale versions of Dollina. The rangefinder does not seem any more a shoddy work as on Dollina II and the ugly knob of adjustment of distance disappeared from the hood to take place with right hand, where it is easier to handle while centring. It also has a system of prevention of the double exposure.
To see the list of the possible lenses, one wonders why this camera did not have more success faced with the Kodak Retina.

Benefits of Personal Development Training
In most cases when people have an interest in personal development,it usually presents a need for change. Personal development training is important since it usually symbolises that there is more to life than what one is currently experiencing. Below are some of the benefits of personal development training.

Empowerment is about letting go of fears that do not serve your progress and embracing thoughts that increase your inner greatness so that you are in control of your fate.
Attending personal development training is also important since it helps to give us the drive and energy to move forward. Motivation is something that you should look for from the inside out and not from outside in. Choosing to stay motivated is a personal development goal that helps you cultivate a personal development mindset.
Another benefit of personal development training is that you learn how to set goals. Setting goals too high or too low is one of the reasons why people are not able to reach their goals. Going for personal development training is important since it allows you to set realistic goals for the short term or long term.
Attending personal development training is also important since it helps you to cultivate attitudes of happiness. by nature we are wired to be happy and that is why we tend to reach out for things that make us happy. To live a more fulfilling life,you need to learn about things like emotional freedom,flexibility perspective and a positive mindset and you will in time be happy.
If you are also looking to form healthy balanced life then relationships is at the core of such kind of a lifestyle. When you attend personal development trainings,you are able to understand how to best relate with yourself as well as others.

Sullia, March 14, 2017: An undertrial prisoner, charged for rape attempt and theft case, was brought back in custody after a brazen escape from the Mangaluru District Prison on March 10. He was arrested from Devachalla near Sullia on Tuesday, March 14.
The Escaped under-trial prisoner was Jinappa Parava, resident of Venur, Belthangady. He was arrested in 2015 on charges of raping a 21-year-old girl from Patrame village, then coming under Uppinangady Police limits and now under Dharmasthala police limits. The accused was an agriculture labourer.
According to the prison officials, Parava was put on kitchen duty to prepare breakfast. As usual, he was let into the kitchen at 3.30 a.m. and the guards forgot to lock the doors and slept off. Taking opportunity of the situation, Parava scaled the main wall of the prison and escaped, officials said.
After an extensive search, the Sullia police led by inspector Sathish Kumar managed to arrest him on Tuesday. He will be handed over to the Barke police for further investigations.

Heart-Shaped Gua Sha Facial Tool
Gua Sha has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries to treat a range of skin conditions, improve overall skin health, and promote radiance. An integral part of many beauty rituals, Gua Sha Facial Tools not only stimulate the flow of oxygenated blood to the epidermis, but they promote cellular repair to leave the skin smoother, lifted, and visibly younger; making them a valuable skincare tool for mature skin.
Our Gua Sha Facial Tools are handmade from 100% natural gemstones, with both Rose Quartz and Jade options available. Heart-shaped for improved handling, they glide across the skin to promote a brighter complexion while soothing facial tension, relaxing the jawline, and instilling an overall feeling of wellbeing.
A popular alternative to face rollers, Gua Sha Facial Stones are lightweight, portable, and suitable for use throughout the day to give the skin a natural facelift with a mini workout that promotes blood circulation, drains the lymph nodes, and contours the face for a more refined and youthful look. They are also highly effective at relieving muscular tensions and alleviating mild headaches.

How to Use your Gua Sha Facial Tool
For best results, we recommend using your Gua Sha Facial Tool with our Rejuvenating Radiant Serum so that it glides with ease. Apply a few drops to clean, dry skin, before using your Gua Sha to massage your neck, jawline, and face with long scraping strokes, going upwards and outwards to lift and revitalise.
As facial skin is delicate, place your Gua Sha Tool at a 45-degree angle to the face and keep your scraping motions light. Repeat two or three times, always using upwards and outwards strokes, to massage your way to a relaxed state and radiant, youthful skin.
Rose Quartz Gua Sha Facial Tool
Commonly referred to as the 'stone of universal love' Rose Quartz is believed to balance the heart and boost the circulatory system by oxygenating the skin. It can help relieve the pressures of daily life by calming the body, mind, and soul while soothing the skin to bring out its natural radiance.
Jade Gua Sha Facial Tool
Brightening gemstone Jade is highly effective at eliminating toxins by promoting lymphatic drainage – the body's natural detoxification process. It also boosts circulation to the epidermis to create a visible glow and alleviates facial tensions with its calming qualities.
*Note: Our Rose Quartz Gua Sha and Jade Gua Sha Facial Tools are 100% natural gemstones. Each stone is unique, varying in size, colour, and appearance.
