Labor Day is FAST APPROACHING and we wanted to give you some tips to both keep you safe, and having fun all weekend long.
1.) Speed Kills
While, typically, there are no special speed zone alerts like you might see on July 4th to control traffic on the water (Always check with your local Coast Guard to be certain), captains should always travel at a safe speed. In boats, a safe speed varies depending on the type of vessel, water conditions, and other boat traffic. It's much harder to feel how fast you are going on a boat, as opposed to a car because you have a speedometer and things constantly passing you as you go. With all that said, practice caution while out on the water.
2.) Check all of your equipment before you go out on the water
Always make sure safety equipment is ready to use, including fares and the fire extinguisher. Having them on board is only half the battle: They aren't much use to you and your family if they don't work.
3.) Always Wear Life Jackets
Having a life jacket onboard and not wearing it is like having a seat belt in your car and now using it. Boaters should ABSOLUTELY NEVER have a plan of putting on their jacket after there is an accident. At that point, it's too late.Roughly 80% of boating deaths happen to people not wearing a life jacket.
4.) Make a "Float Plan"
Before going out on your boat, write down important information, including what kind of boat you will be on, who will be on it with you, where you will be going, and when you expect to be back (give or take a few hours). This plan should be left with friends or family. If nobody knows you are missing, it's hard for them to be looking for you, should you be in trouble.
5.) Always Boat Sober
Alcohol is the number 6 cause of death in all boating accidents. If you are going to drink, always designate someone who will not be drinking to operate the boat. I'd also recommend you show your "designated boater" how to put the boat on the trailer when you are done. There are an endless amount of "Fail" videos on YouTube showing you why this is a smart idea. Your passengers and boat will thank you later.
Basically, put safety first, and your fun will fall right in line behind it. Enjoy the water and time with your friends and family. Tag us on FaceBook or Twitter to let us see how your boat is handling the water!

"Without a ceasefire and adherence to the silence regime, without full withdrawal of heavy weapons and the OSCE confirming this withdrawal, without us resuming control over the Ukrainian-Russian border, it is impossible to talk about elections or constitutional changes, not to mention humanitarian and economic issues, mine clearance," Kuchma said.
Kiev has been conducting a military operation in Ukraine's eastern regions since April 2014. In February, Kiev and Donbass militia signed a deal on Ukrainian reconciliation in Minsk, which stipulated a ceasefire and the withdrawal of weapons from the line of contact.
On Tuesday, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said the Minsk agreement on the Ukrainian crisis cannot be realized because there is no law on the country's elections.

When to Select Simultaneous or Consecutive Interpretation
Imagine a multilingual audience is gathered together. Perhaps it is a business meeting comprised of multinational clients or maybe it is a conference that is hosted in one language with non-native-speaking attendees. Of course, interpretation is essential in any of these scenarios. However, there are several types of interpreting services and each type of interpretation does important work. Understanding the differences between simultaneous and consecutive interpretation will help you determine when simultaneous interpretation (SI) is the best choice.
What is Simultaneous Interpretation (SI)?
Simultaneous interpretation (SI) is sometimes called conference interpreting or conference translation. SI is a style of interpretation that happens as the original speech is still in progress. Typically a team of two interpreters will interpret into the target language as the original speaker is still talking. The interpretation is sent to listeners in real-time on specific devices, such as smartphones or headphones. This format is popular in larger settings like conferences, focus groups, webinars, board meetings, and tours.
There are several stand-out aspects of simultaneous interpretation that distinguish it from other interpretation styles. This format communicates information quickly at live events in a manner that does not rely on pauses or interruptions. The audience is not kept waiting and no adjustments to pacing or timing need to be made. Additionally, this format is not conversational; instead, it is fitting for instances in which a large amount of information needs to be clearly communicated to multilingual listeners.
What is Consecutive Interpretation?
Consecutive interpretation is a type of interpretation that happens after each speaker is finished talking. Once a speaker finishes their thoughts, the interpreter will then relay the information to the listener. After the listener responds, the interpreter then communicates the response. This back-and-forth format is most often used in small settings that involve a very limited number of people, including interviews, school conferences, and medical consultations.
When choosing consecutive interpretation, it is important to remember several things. Consecutive interpretation flows very much like a conversation. That means that the setting must allow for pauses for the interpretation to take places. Moreover, because the interpretation happens after each point of communication, the interpretation will likely double the length of the conversation.
When to Choose SI
SI is the interpretation choice that more and more companies are making because of the clear benefits of simultaneous interpretation. Though it may not be appropriate for one-on-one conversations, there are many instances in which SI is the clear choice. The equipment used for simultaneous interpretation guarantees a clear and professional interpretation. In a majority of formal event settings, interpreters will work in a soundproof area and speak into microphones so that their interpretation will not clash or compete with the original speaker. In other instances, headsets are enough to block out background noise and distraction. The interpretation is shared via high-quality headsets to listeners who can then take in all of the information in their target languages.
Because SI happens in real-time and is performed by native linguists, there is no missed information nor is there a need to add artificial pauses or gaps in the event timeline. The format is also highly personalized, which allows a multilingual audience to attend an event while hearing the information in their preferred language. As a result, this interpretation is valued greatly by audiences. SI is the right choice for any size conference or presentation where information is shared quickly and in large amounts.
Final Thoughts on Selecting Interpretation
Selecting the right interpretation type matters. For more intimate gatherings that will take on a conversational style, consecutive interpretation fits. Given the needs of global companies and associations however, simultaneous interpretation is the best option. SI is ideal in numerous situations: international conventions, diplomatic conferences, and even business meetings. Regardless of size, any scenario in which information will be delivered in continuous sequences and needs to be communicated in multiple languages would benefit from SI. Not only is SI time-efficient, it also accurately communicates information in a personalized format to multilingual audiences.

This post is brought to you by KIWI and their #WalkWithPride campaign.
Have you ever heard of Chelsea boots? Maybe not. Although the name may only be reserved for those who are either extremely into fashion or take their boots seriously, there is no denying that you've probably seen a pair of these on your favorite celebrity a time or two.
The name goes back to Queen Victoria's shoemaker, J. Sparkes-Hall, who originally designed and patented the shoes in 1851, and were originally designed with women in mind. That all changed in the 50s when they came stateside thanks to a British Invasion.
In addition to discussing the history of the Chelsea boot, we'll also go over a number of outfits that look best paired with them.
I know that when I spend $500 on a Chelsea Boots, I'm definitely going to go the extra mile to protect them. That's why I use and recommend KIWI Protect-All to keep my boots looking fresh for years to come.
In New York, we don't get that much snow, but what we do get a ton of is salt. No, not table salt, but the salt they use to break up the ice. As any New Yorker knows, this salt is a nightmare on your shoes.
Whenever I get a new pair of boots, I spray a couple coats of KIWI Protect-All, so that when I encounter rain, snow or salt, I know my boots will be protected.
This Is My Story and How I Walk With Pride As The Founder of Life, Tailored
I started Life, Tailored in 2013 with the goal of sharing my love of the best things in life with my friends.
But my story begins way before I came to New York and launched Life, Tailored. I went to school in Florida, and after graduating, I stayed an additional 4 years. It was an easy life, I lived in a college town, and enjoyed 4 championships while I was there.
But I wanted something more. I had always dreamed of living in New York, and living the big city life. Part of that life is learning about how to dress like a New Yorker (and how to protect those investments with great brands like KIWI).
Prior to Life, Tailored I had only traveled internationally to the Bahamas on a cruise. Today, I've been to more than 15 different countries, and have flown First Class to those countries paying for them just with airline miles.
My fascination with first class travel happened on a routine trip to Orlando. My wife and I had our flight cancelled, and had to rebook in the morning. When rebooking, we had the option to upgrade to "First Class" for just $60. We went for it.
And as soon as we got on board, we were hooked. I told her that 1 year from now, I'm going to figure out how we can fly like this every time.
Now, when I fly, I feel like a million bucks. I wear my killer outfit, get to relax in the lap of luxury, and know that I was able to do it all through sheer dedication and hard work.
I hope my story is inspiration to give you the confidence to know you can do anything you want in life, and it all starts with preparing yourself for whatever life throws at you.
And if you have a pair of killer Chelsea boots, consider KIWI as your first line of defense.
How to Wear Black Chelsea Boots with a Long Coat
As a shorter guy, I love that Chelsea boots give me a little extra height. That extra height definitely comes in necessary when you wear a long coat. Unless you're 6 feet plus, a long coat is going to make you look shorter, so pairing your car coat with a pair of Chelsea boots is the perfect compliment.
These black Chelsea boots really do go with anything, but look great with the grey color in the oat.
How to find your perfect Chelsea boots
As previously mentioned, Chelsea boots have that versatility to fit into any wardrobe to work with nearly any outfit.
Before you run out to the store and purchase hundreds of dollars of unnecessary clothing items to match your latest edition Chelsea boots, there are a few things that you should know about the shoes themselves:
Chelsea boots should fit snugly and not too tight
Comfort is always key when it comes to everything we wear. This is no different for Chelsea boots, I will tell you right here and now that they are undeniably enticing to wear because of their slip-on and smooth feature. However, this can cause irrevocable damage to the shoes themselves. You want to make sure that the shoes are a perfect fit; not too tight and not too loose.
Chelsea boot design has evolved since their original creation
Chelsea boots are designed with either brown or black box calf leather and leather sole. With the rise of talented and innovative designers, what was once the traditional design of Chelsea boots evolved to a style that is now considered more sophisticated men's footwear. Some manufacturers have even come up with new shoe designs inspired by these boots under different naming for their own branding purposes. Basically, Chelsea boots are made up of commando soles, Jodhpur/Zip ankle boots, and broguing or wingtips.
Chelsea boots in suede pair really well with a suit
Leather-made Chelsea boots are great to wear because they are versatile and durable. However, nothing comes close to the elegance that the suede boots give. They may have higher maintenance than your leather boots, but they are definitely worth investing.
Chelsea boots can be suede and also rugged
It's true when they say that there is more to simple things. Like in the case of Chelsea boots, the simpler the design, the more beautiful the boot. It has been proven that boots with simpler designs are always better.
How to Wear Chelsea Boots: Men's Style Guide
It's not enough that you only have the knowledge on the footwear that you are going to use. More importantly, you should know how to flaunt and pair them with. Why is that so? Well, simply because Chelsea boots are admittedly the type of footwear that has an elusive style. Good thing that what has been a monotonous way of wearing them was maximized to a couple of clothing styles to match.
Typically, the general rule for wearing them is to have your pants cover the top of the boots. Unlike the Chelsea boots, there are other boots that you can wear with an uncovered top. You may also want to drape the entire neck of the boots and it's fine. Just a rule of thumb, make sure to check the style if it works on you before breaking it.
Wardrobe-wise, here are some ways on how to rock your style with Chelsea boots.
How To Wear Chelsea Boots With a Suit
Most of you think of pairing your suits with loafers, Oxfords or brogues but Chelsea boots are another great option. The wide variety in terms of colors, finishes, and materials give you a range of suits that would fit these boots. Have you tried matching your gray suit with a pair of black leather boots?
If you are more into wearing blue or navy colored suits, having a pair of brown leather Chelsea boots completes the overall look. These are two contrasting colors that make a harmonious ensemble. Applying the general rule of covering the top part of the boots leaves you with that smart, clean guise.
How To Wear Chelsea Boots With Jeans
These days, who says that sneakers are the best thing that happened to jeans? Well, try to wear your jeans with a clean shirt, a jacket, a polo shirt, or a blazer. You may even have a combination of these for your top. Do you think they will not look good with your leather boots? We do not recommend otherwise. For your jeans, it is best to go for a pair of suede Chelsea boots.
You may start by going with monochromatic or understated colors. You may mix of a plain white shirt, a classic leather jacket, and a pair of gray or tattered jeans. Completing the look with a suede black Chelsea boots pimps you to a smarter, more casual look. If you are not into suedes, you can always go for that synthetic pair. You may opt for a broader option of reds or purples for your pair of black skinny jeans as well, to add that extra pop of color.
How To Wear Chelsea Boots With Cuban Heels
The timeless Cuban heel boot, a type of Chelsea boot with the Cuban heel, completes The 50s era. To look perfectly good with this kind of boot, your trousers have to be at an imperatively accurate length. How do you ensure the proper length of your trousers for your boots? This may sound funny and awkward, but you have to bring your trousers with you during the purchase. This is needed to avoid unintentionally showing your ankles when wearing them.
Do you think you're ready to take part in the Chelsea boots fashion? There is nothing to be afraid of. Just look at the style guide we have for you and you will surely rock the style!

On her company's Facebook page, Eisen calls Stonington Gray (in flat finish) her staging secret and says that brokers and buyers alike constantly ask about it. She describes it as the perfect remedy for white walls, and says, "It has a unique ability to compliment every color scheme." According to Eisen, Stonington Gray HC-170 – "subtle, neutral, and somehow chameleon-like" –works anywhere.
10 Best Neutral Wall Paint Colors for Your Home
Even though my home will be majority black/white/charcoal grey, this colour chart will help me decorate each room. Eg, I would decorate the family room and dining room with warm neutral pillows, throws,candles, potted plants etc. bathroom would be decorated with cool neutral towels etc.
Farrow & Ball Paint It's the paint that we always start with because it comes in great chalky colors that have a sense of history to them. Their full spectrum paints react beautifully to the light so they have a glow that allows the rooms to take on a different mood during day or night. We like all of their neutrals such as "Lamp Room Gray" shown in this picture or "White Tie" for a creamier white. For more paint colors visit farrow-ball.com.

For the whitetail enthusiast there is no time of the year that can compare to the mating season. For most of the year whitetails are shy and retiring animals but with the onset of the rut they suddenly become much more visible as the bucks roam widely in search of receptive does in estrus.
While not nearly as vocal as their cousins, the elk, whitetails vocalize during the rut. The buck, pictured here pursuing a doe, was grunting as the photograph was taken.
My biggest surprise of the weekend came when I photographed this male wild turkey gobbling! Most gobbling is done during the late winter and spring months in conjunction with the wild turkey's mating season. Perhaps this tom was a little jealous of the whitetails having all of the fun!
Of course when one is spending a great deal of time out of doors there is more to photograph than deer. This white-throated sparrow posed nicely in the weather branches of a poke weed.
And a fox squirrel, busy fattening up for winter, pauses just long enough for a portrait.

MOGADISHU — Ethiopian forces on Monday seized the main base of the Al Qaeda-linked Shebab insurgents in central Somalia, the latest stronghold the extremists have lost in recent months, witnesses said.
Ethiopian troops and fighters from the pro-government militia Ahlu Sunna Wal Jamaa seized El Bur town, some 150 kilometres (90 miles) south of the Ethiopian border, after a brief firefight.
"Ethiopian troops have taken positions inside and outside the town, but most of the residents fled before they arrived," said Abdukadir Sahal, a resident.
The loss of the town tightens the net on the hardline Shebab, who are facing attacks on multiple fronts by regional armies.
"There was brief exchange of gunfire on the outskirts of town but Al-Shebab fled... there are Ethiopian troops with armoured trucks, pulling heavy artillery weapons," Sahal added.
"There was no fighting inside El Bur, but Al-Shebab fighters are not far away," said Ahmednur Fodade, another resident.
Ethiopian soldiers in battle trucks began the advance on El Bur at the weekend, bolstering allied fighters from Ahlu Sunna at the central Somali town of Dhusamareb, before pushing on some 100 kilometres (60 miles) south.
El Bur is the fourth Shebab stronghold to be seized by the Ethiopian forces, who deployed into lawless Somalia in November, after Kenya also sent troops into southern Somalia to battle the ruthless militia.

Disney's Villains After Hours Party- a must attend summer event if you love those evil, creepy villains. These tips & tricks will help you enjoy the night.
We all love the sweet Disney Princesses, but you must remember that can't have all that sweetness without an evil villain. The evil villain makes the princess overcome her struggle and helps create the hero of the movie. The perfect balance for every story.
Thankfully, Disney has realized just how much we all love those evil characters, so they created a whole event around them. Your favorite Villains take over the Magic Kingdom as they blast malevolent music, have spooky lighting and feature villainous entertainment that has been created just for the event. Gobble up villain inspired foods and beverages. Wear Enjoy short lines and a brand-new stage show – Villains Unite the Night.
Check out these tip and tricks to help you make the most out of your Villains After Hours party!
Tips & Tricks for Disney's Villains After Hours Party
Get Dressed Up!
Wearing apparel that is related to your favorite Disney characters is one of the ways to make your Disney visit so much fun! Now is your chance to sport some fun Villains themed clothes. Or go beyond that and create a fun outfit that pays homage to a character.
Disney Bounding is a fun way to show off your love for a character. Create an outfit that looks like your favorite Villain with similar styled clothes, shoes, and accessories.
Just be sure to follow Disney's rules about wearing costumes! Check out the rules in advance so that you don't have any issues in the park.
PRO TIP: If you are going with a group, plan your outfits to go together!
Arrive Early!
While the party officially is from 10pm to 1am, you can actually arrive at 7pm without having to purchase a theme park ticket. Check-in at ticketing to get your wristband and then start having fun in the Magic Kingdom.
Note: If you are already in the park, then you will just need to head towards to front gates to snag your wristband to continue using the park until it closes.
PRO TIP: Maximize your time in the park by arriving early at 7pm. This is prime time to do some shopping, grab a quick dinner, and create a great strategy for enjoying the party.
Leave the young kids at home!
Of course, Disney is very family friendly, but this is a late-night event and is best for older kids and for adults. Leave the young kids at home so you can make it an extra fun night that starts at 10pm.
PRO TIP: Make Villains After Hours party extra special by making it a fun date night or a fun girls night out.
Enjoy some ice cream!
Included in the price of the ticket are unlimited ice cream novelty bars. Mickey Ice Cream Bars and Ice Cream Sandwiches are available at carts throughout the park. So be extra naughty and enjoy a few. If you don't, I bet a evil villain will snag them away. And don't forget to take an Instagram-able Mickey Ice Cream Bar
Besides the ice cream, enjoy popcorn and bottled water. Bottled water normally is $3.50 each so this is a great deal. Just be sure not to be extra evil and recycle those bottles instead of throwing them out.
PRO TIP: Maximize this value by snagging some bottles of water on your way back to your car or your hotel.
Get your face painted!
I'm not one to get my face painted, especially when it's 900 degrees out, even at 10pm. Okay, it might not be that hot out, but with the humidity, it feels hot!
Anyway, there are some AWESOME villains themed options for you.
PRO TIP: Keep your receipt for your face painting because they will do touch ups for FREE!
Treat yourself to some specialty Villains Treats!
If you like the treats at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party and the Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Halloween Party, you'll love the treats at the party.
Stop by the various locations throughout the park to purchase a fun treat that is inspired by the Villains. Food and drinks are inspired by Villains like The Evil Queen, Cruella de Vil, Maleficent, Hades, Dr. Facilier, and Emperor Zurg. Refer to the party specific map that identifies all of the locations where you can enjoy these delicious foods.

Enjoy the Rides!
The Villains After Hours event is a limited ticketed event so crowds are at a minimum! Woohoo!!! A must do ride, like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, will normally have an hour plus stand by wait time. There are times, during these After Hours events, that you can just walk right on! I find that I usually wait less than 5 minutes per ride for these events.
Besides the shorter than normal wait times, you can enjoy rides that have their extra evil spin to them. Cast Members will be performing new characters during Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Space Mountain features a high-energy soundtrack as they ride through complete darkness.

Villains Unite The Night show!
Disney created a captivating 20+ minute stage show called Villians Unite the Night. The show is hosted by Hades and Megara from Hercules who were later joined by Jafar, The Queen, Dr. Facilier, and Maleficent. Enjoy the performers, music, projections on the castle, and fireworks that end the show.
The show kicks off the party at 10 pm, then is performed again at 11pm and 12am.
PRO TIP: The 12am show is less crowded than the earlier shows. Watch it then for a better, less-obscured view; especially great, if you are short!
Maleficent at Night!
Maleficent the Dragon is a fire breathing dragon that makes the skies light up with a red glow when she roars!
She performs 3 times a night during the party. Be sure to catch one of these amazing performances.
PRO TIP: Walk along with her as she goes along the route to get the perfect shot of her blowing fire

Boehringer Ingelheim announced results from an interim analysis of the Phase 3 RE-VERSE AD patient study with idarucizumab for urgent reversal of the anticoagulant effect of Pradaxa (dabigatran etexilate mesylate).
RE-VERSE AD is designed to evaluate the types of patients and real-world situations healthcare professionals may see in the emergency setting. Patients were categorized into either patients with uncontrolled or life-threatening bleeding complications (eg, intracranial hemorrhage or severe trauma after a car accident [Group A, n= 51]), or patients requiring emergency surgery or an invasive procedure (eg, surgery for an open fracture after a fall [Group B, n=39]). The primary endpoint of the study is the degree of reversal of the anticoagulant effect of dabigatran achieved by idarucizumab 5g within four hours measured by diluted thrombin time (dTT) and ecarin clotting time (ECT).
RELATED: Priority Review Granted for Pradaxa Reversal Agent
The interim analysis from RE-VERSE AD included data from 90 patients in the emergency setting who were taking dabigatran and required reversal. Of the 81 patients that presented with elevated anticoagulation levels at baseline as measured with ECT, results showed that the study met its primary endpoint, achieving 100% maximum reversal as median value across all patients. Reversal was evident immediately after administration of the first vial of idarucizumab and was complete in all but one patient. After four and 12 hours, laboratory tests showed normal coagulation levels in almost 90% of patients. Normal blood clotting during surgery was reported in 92% of the patients that required surgery or invasive procedures.

I think it's established that I am a fan of the fire service. The service has its challenges, to be sure, and many departments aren't handling that challenge well, at least in my opinion, but that's not my point.
Here, it was planners that provided the challenge. Lives were not lost in this incident but only by hard work. I guess I should say that it was the developer who didn't help matters, but somewhere along the way, someone from the planning department signed off on this.
When I first saw this the other day, I thought "Man, why didn't they just throw the stick from the truck? Or at least bring the ground ladders from a closer point?" "Throw the stick from the truck" is Boston-ese for "raise the aerial device from the ladder truck". Then I looked up the location on Google Maps and found why.
In order to get to the roof (to cut holes and vent smoke and heat) or to get to windows (to rescue occupants or get to the seat of the fire), the ladder truck will generally pull up in front of the fire building, drop the outriggers, and raise the ladder to where it needs to go. If there is no access for the ladder truck, then ground ladders are used as in the video.
In the image below, the fire building is outlined in yellow and the first-arriving fire apparatus are the red stars. The firefighter with the helmet cam in the video pulls his two ground ladders from the truck at the third star; ground ladders from the other two units having already been pulled and deployed. (Note that I am not at all familiar with this area, but the various Google imagery matches the video clip.)
The problem here is that the ladder truck could only get to one single corner of the 200′ x 50′, 3-story apartment. Note that the parking lot does not extend in front of the fire building. Any possible use of the lawn for staging of fire apparatus — which is not always possible where there is no hard surface of any kind — is blocked by a tree. In fact, except for that one corner of the parking lot, there is no vehicular access to the building at all, on any side.
The desire to have green space everywhere is one I share. However, vehicular access to all sides of the building must be considered. This vehicle access does not mean having to provide a paved roadway open to all vehicles. It might mean a gravel path (constructed in a way that it would support a 25- or 30-ton aerial ladder truck) with non-emergency vehicle access prohibited. At least one side of the building should have access for vehicles. There are surely recommendations for this type of access somewhere – if you know where, leave a comment and I'll add a link.
Bottom line is that it's unacceptable to design a complex in such a way that firefighters are forced to carry equipment (and drag hoses) for hundreds of feet from the closest vehicle access point. Nobody died because of poor design in this instance but it's easy to see how someone could have.

Florida Governor Rick Scott announced on Friday that he wants to raise the age limit in the state for buying a firearm to the age of 21, just one week after a 19-year-old shot allegedly 17 people at a high school in the state.
Scott also said Florida would completely ban bump stocks, which dramatically increase semi-automatic weapons' potential rate of fire, and prohibit the mentally ill from accessing weapons.
"We will require all individuals purchasing firearms to be 21 or older," Scott said Friday. "There will be exceptions for active duty, reserved military and spouses, national guard members and law enforcement."
Scott's announcement was part of his comprehensive plan to address school safety in the wake of last week's shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The plan, which he said he wanted to implement within the next two weeks, covers gun laws, school safety, and mental health. He said he had spent the week meeting with survivors of the shooting, including the students who came to Tallahassee to lobby for gun control measures. (While the students were there, the Florida House declined to take up legislation to ban assault rifles.)
"This is a time when I believe we must come together and even cross party lines," said Scott. " I want to encourage people to keep listening to each other."
Noting that Nikolas Cruz, who allegedly shot 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, had been flagged by law enforcement but was still able to buy guns, Scott said he wanted to make it "virtually" impossible for anyone who is a danger to themselves or others to have access to a gun. He said the state would create a program called the "violent threat restraining order," which would prohibit a mentally ill person from buying a weapon when law enforcement or a family member provides evidence to the court of a threat of violence involving any weapons. He also said he wants the state to invest a half billion dollars in school safety and mental health initiatives, even if it requires foregoing tax cuts.
"Government does not have to be slow or lethargic," he said. "When it comes to protecting our kids we need to be swift and decisive."
Scott, who is strongly considering a run for Senate, had received criticism in the wake of the shooting after he declined to initially address gun control measures, and failed to appear at the Wednesday's CNN town hall with survivors of the shooting. He is a member of the National Rifle Association, who had given him an A+ rating for his pro-gun stances, and noted in in 2014 that he had signed "more pro-gun bills into law — in one term — than any other Governor in Florida history."
The NRA did not immediately respond to request for comment. Scott reaffirmed his membership in the NRA on Friday, along with his support for the Second Amendment.

The next time you eat a cheese sandwich, drink a glass of cold milk, have an ice cream cone or a cup of yogurt on a walk through the park, thank the dairy farmers who made it all possible. Now is a great time to do that because June is Dairy Month.
The dairy industry is an important economic engine in America. The farm value of milk production is second only to beef among livestock industries and is equal to corn. Milk is produced in all 50 states, with the major producing states in the West and North. Dairy farms, overwhelmingly family-owned and managed, are generally members of producer cooperatives.
USDA's Economic Research Service finds that major trends in U.S. milk production include a fairly slow and steady increase in production as gains in milk output per cow outweigh declines in the number of cows, and a consistent decline in the number of dairy operations, matched by a continual rise in the number of cows per operation. The USDA Census of Agriculture, released earlier this year shows four of the top five "milk cow counties" are in California with Tulare County leading the way with a reported 490,000. (The other top county is Gooding, County, Idaho).
According to the International Dairy Foods Association, National Dairy Month started out as National Milk Month in 1937 as a way to promote drinking milk. It was initially created to stabilize the dairy demand when production was at a surplus, but has now developed into an annual tradition that celebrates the contributions the dairy industry has made to the world. After the National Dairy Council stepped in to promote the dairy industry June effort, the name changed to "Dairy Month." Now, many states including California, Vermont and Wisconsin have special events and observances in honor of dairy farmers and the industry.
Dairy is important to health. Through programs like Fuel Up to Play 60, the National Dairy Council provides cutting-edge nutrition information that can be used by people of all ages. You can learn more about the innovative research and promotion activities by visiting the Agricultural Marketing Service website. So no matter where your dairy comes from, thank a farmer. Dairy farming is a labor of love, but it is hard labor, and we thank everyone involved in producing the milk you drink.

Getting a ton of traffic to your website is the key to success. If no one ever visits your site, you will never make any money. It's just math.
In this article, I'm going to discuss how to get more traffic for your website… the Top 5 Ways that I find useful. There are of course dozens of ways to drive traffic, but I just wanted to keep it simple and list a few that you may not have thought of using.
1. IBO Toolbox – A Place to Network & Drop Article Links
There is a network/community that I like to interact with at a website called IBO Toolbox. There you can associate with other members and even send them private messages. There are rules regarding what you can send of course, because nobody likes spam… but you can engage with other members and create meaningful networks with others.
IBO Toolbox also has a great ads center where you can place ads to your business opportunities or websites and generate traffic that way.
I usually have about 2 or 3 ads running on IBO and I get pretty decent traffic as a result. Ads are free if you are utilizing their Credit system. You get credits several different ways including for logging in every day as well as 100 credits weekly every Sunday by taking a look at their newsletter. You can also pay for credit packages if you have a budget for that kind of thing. I personally like the free credits though.
Another great tool I find useful within IBO Toolbox is their dashboard wall, where you can put links to your recent articles. After I have written a blog post, I always head over to IBO and write a small post on the dashboard wall for others to see and hopefully get a few visitors from. Here's an example:
These are just a few of the networking opportunities that IBO Toolbox has available. There are a ton more including things like a video area, where you can place links to any YouTube or other videos you have created…. as well as an article writing platform. Below is a link to my profile.
2. Rebrandable Traffic – Cheap and Targeted
Rebrandable Traffic is another great traffic source. Here you have the ability to set up Ad Campaigns and enter in your own targeted keywords.
As long as you concentrate on the best keywords for your website link, the traffic generated is typically targeted and of good quality. The thing that you don't want to do is set up a generic campaign with no real target keyword market.
This traffic actually costs money, however it is extremely affordable and only costs pennies as opposed to dollars. You can buy a 1000 visitor package for only $8 ($6 when they are on sale).
3. Leveraging Google – Google Plus & Search Console
One of the first things that I do after I finish creating a new blog post is post it on Google Plus. There are two main reasons why I do this… First, Google Plus is a great platform for posting links like that (better than Facebook or Twitter if you ask me), and Second, Google really likes it when you do this.
Think about it, getting ranked in Google will surely bring you more traffic, so why not post on one of Google's very own platforms.
Google Search Console (formerly referred to as Webmaster Tools) is also a critical stop for me as soon as I post a new blog. After hitting publish on my website, I simply go to Google Search Console and ask Google to fetch my post. This basically just speeds up the indexing process.
How to Add a Page to the Fetch As Google Tool
4. SEO Strategy – Using Proper Techniques
Believe it or not, proper SEO strategy can be one of the best ways to get more traffic to your website. There are simple things that you should be doing when constructing your posts.
- Meta Tags – Be sure to add Meta Tags to ALL your posts. This should include a Meta Title, Meta Description, and Keywords. Ideally your main keyword should be included either in the Title or Description (or both).
- Video – Including a video on your posts if possible is also a great SEO strategy. If you don't make your own videos, you can simply use one that compliments your post from YouTube.
- Image – Images are always good to have within your content, because most people enjoy reading something with some imagery or pictures. But Google likes this too. Try to place a relevant image somewhere above the fold of your post.
- Alt Tags – Always remember to use the Alt Tag of your images to add a little more SEO juice to the mix. Use your main keyword, or a tag that makes sense for the image.
- Keywords – Your main keyword that you are targeting should be within the Title as well as the first paragraph.
There are a lot more SEO strategies you can implement, but these that I've just mentioned should ALWAYS be a part of your content creation routine.

5. Get More Comments – Website Engagement
The 5th way I like to get more traffic is by site engagement with comments. This is literally one of my favorite ways to get traffic. Once again, Google loves this and as a result you will see better website ranking and that means more traffic.
At the end of every blog post I try to ask visitors to leave a comment, especially if they have a question about something. This gives me insight into how my post is coming across (reading) to others. I can take that information and use it on future posts or even revise the current one so that it adds clarity if needed.
My favorite place to get comments is through the Wealthy Affiliate Site Comments platform. Wealthy Affiliate is where I get all of my training and tools for building websites. It's a great place to start if you are a beginner because they have made it so simple and easy to follow along. And they have a ton of great tools that will explode your business and potential profit.
One of these tools is Site Comments. With Site comments, you can request comments from other Wealthy Affiliate members. You can get credits for comments by leaving a comment on another members post. It's a give take type of system that really works.
Join Wealthy Affiliate to Use Site Comments
If you own a website and plan to make money with it, you know the importance of traffic. Using some (or all) of these traffic strategies could really help give your website the boost it needs to become profitable. This is not an exhaustive list by any means, but these 5 strategies do work and I recommend them to anyone looking to stay competitive in the online business space.
Leave a comment below if you have tried any of these strategies or if you have a favorite traffic driving source.

Back muscles have many functions, acting on the arms, spine, and shoulder blades. Building a strong, beautiful back will not only help you look your best, it will help you with a great many functional movements while improving your posture.
Back exercises should be a priority looking to lose weight. Since the back houses a fairly large muscle group, back exercises burn a ton of calories, and building your back muscles helps raise your metabolism, allowing you to burn more calories even while at rest.
Read this article to learn the best back exercises
Grip Pull-Up
Sumo deadlifts, conventional deadlifts, beyond the range (from a deficit), rack pulls - it doesn't matter, just do them. The back not only works antagonistically to stabilize the torso (and spine) it works to lock out the weight to finish the movement. Deadlifts, by definition, are an exercise where you can move big weight.
Single-Arm Dumbbell Row
This is a great unilateral exercise—each side works independently—that allows you to move a lot of weight. You'll get greater range of motion when training unilaterally, and you won't be restrained if your weaker side fails first. You may also be better able to support your lower back—which may have taken plenty of punishment by now—when placing one hand on a bench. Allowing a slight degree of rotation of the trunk may engage a greater degree of "core" musculature, as well.2
Rack Pulls
One of the most underused back exercises in the bodybuilding community is rack pulls. Rack pulls are essentially the top lockout part of the deadlift movement that focuses more on your whole back and less on your glutes and hamstrings. First, find a stable service to place a bar at around knee level. Simply bend down with a flat back, lift straight up, and lock out by squeezing your arms back to contract your whole back. Drop the weight back to knee level and repeat for a total of 8-12 times. Make sure to build your weight up and not to jump heavy, nobody likes an injured lower back. Just make sure to not be scared to go heavy because this will definitely create a back-popping physique if used.
Decline Bench Dumbbell Pull-Over
Why it's on the list: Pull-overs for back? Absolutely! This one mimics the straight-arm cable pull-down you're probably familiar with. Yes, this is a single-joint move, but it allows you to really target and torch your lats. The decline version puts your lats under tension for a longer range of motion than when using a flat bench. Just make sure the dumbbell clears your head, and drop it on the floor behind you when you're done.
Back Extensions
Targeting the erectors, hamstrings and glutes. Stay neutral and don't hyperextend or hyperflex your lower back. Head should also be in neutral with the back. You can overload this movement with a variety of implements like; kb's, db's, med balls, barbells or just holding an Olympic plate.
