Here we go again. The management at Monster Worldwide
According to reports, Timothy Yates, who at one time was CFO for Symbol Technologies, will be Monster's new money man, replacing Lanny Baker. Interestingly enough, Sal Iannuzzi, the current CEO of Monster, used to be the CEO of Symbol Technologies. Talk about symmetry.
Monster's shares closed down in yesterday's trading session, giving up more than 2% of their value. The market as a whole was down as well, of course, but one can understand how an alteration in management could spook investors, especially when the change involves the guy in charge of a company's financial picture. In addition to this major personnel change, Monster has announced some traditional streamlining initiatives aimed at promoting efficiency.
Only time will tell whether this is the jolt Monster is looking for. The e-commerce company needs to solidly position itself for growth amid competition from online resources such as Yahoo!'s
Monster shareholders have experienced a bit of a ride this past year. If the current management changes lead to stability, then investors may want to take a hard look at the company as an investing idea. According to Yahoo! Finance, Monster is pegged to earn $1.93 in fiscal 2008. If the company can grow earnings somewhere around the expected 25% over the next few years, then its PEG ratio is reasonable. Without a doubt, a CFO change on top of a recent CEO change can make an investor want to sit on the sidelines -- I myself see no reason to rush into buying right now. However, considering Monster's brand power -- I mean, come on, all of us have heard a friend or colleague say "I've just posted my resume on Monster.com" at some point -- and its current valuation, I'd say this is definitely a stock to at least put on the watch list for future evaluation.

By default, Windows 2000 (Win2K) doesn't activate two of the core performance counters—network and logical disk monitoring. If you don't activate these counters, half of your performance tuning and sizing puzzle will be missing, which makes analyzing your system's performance extra challenging. If you're concerned about a performance-related problem, you need all the help you can get!
To activate Win2K Performance Monitor's network counters, install SNMP and Network Monitor services by clicking Add Networking Components in the Network and Dial-Up Services Control Panel applet. Next, select Management and Monitoring Tools.
By default, Win2K starts the physical hard disk counters. You can use the Diskperf command at a command prompt to control which disk counters are on or off. For more information about the Diskperf command options, type
diskperf -?
at the command prompt. If you want to activate both the logical and physical hard disk counters, run
diskperf -y
from the command line. You must reboot your system to activate these counters. In addition, you can use the Diskperf commands to start disk counters on remote systems, if you have the proper administrative privileges.

Fluctuations in temperature can affect the taste of your wine, so it's advisable that you opt for a wine cooler to store all your wine collections. This is especially true if you have a few wines that you want to keep for years.
The size of this unit may vary from one model to another, you can choose a unit for 6 bottles or even have a unit that can hold more than 200 bottles.
Compared with a regular fridge, a cooler offers steady temperature for your wines. This is also practical if you're living in a place where weather can change dramatically.
It's great to have one unit in your house, especially if you can't afford to have a wine closet. Although it's nice to have a wine closet at home where you can walk in and find bottles of Pinot on one side and another set of Cabernet wines on the other side, for most families this is simply too expensive. And the safe you just bought can be a good idea for storing valuable reds, but it's not really helpful with regards to temperature.
Bear in mind that wines don't like a change in temperature, it's not good for them. It's also not good for you as you can't enjoy them as much. If you have a small apartment a wine cooler can help you store 17 to 20 bottles that you can open any time you want to drink with your friends.
It doesn't matter what brand of wine cooler you choose, but a little guidance from Cooling Wine may be a good help. What matters most is how it can keep your wines to their optimum temperature. Bear in mind that the purpose of this unit is to maintain a temperature that maintains the delicious taste of your wines. As long as the unit does that, it's a fine model.

Cal Poly, Autumn Spring Foods Announce New Process to Improve Protein Content in Foods
Cal Poly has developed an improved process to extract protein from milk. The patent-pending process allows for fast and cost-effective extraction and produces a protein that will enable foods and snacks to be produced with enhanced protein content.
Cal Poly has entered into a licensing agreement with Autumn Spring Foods LLC for the proprietary milk protein extraction process. "We are thrilled with the taste, texture and quality of the milk protein extracted through this process," said David Buhler, CEO of Autumn Spring Foods.
Protein is an essential nutritional component that helps builds strong muscles and assists the body in feeling satisfied and full. "The proprietary extraction method results in food products that are nutritional and good tasting," said Cal Poly Professor Rafael Jimenez-Flores, inventor of the process. "It's rewarding to have invented a new process that will benefit both the consumer and the dairy industry."
Buhler said that his company is already working with food manufacturers to use the milk protein in a variety of foods -- including potato chips, corn chips and crisps -- and aims to market the high-protein snack products to appropriate retail channels in the near future.
Food retailers, wholesalers and distributors can contact Autumn Spring Foods for additional information about the new high-protein snack products. For more information, contact Buhler at 262-884-0598 or email@example.com.
For additional information regarding patent licenses and technology transfer opportunities with Cal Poly, contact Jim Dunning at 805-756-5551 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Fermentation - History, Theory, Uses
molecules process
In its broadest sense, fermentation refers to any process by which large organic molecules are broken down to simpler molecules as the result of the action of microorganisms. The most familiar type of fermentation is the conversion of sugars and starches to alcohol by enzymes in yeast. To distinguish this reaction from other kinds of fermentation, the process is sometimes known as alcoholic or ethanolic fermentation.

Rising unemployment and uncertainty in the eurozone have impacted small businesses in Europe and the international businesses that trade there. The eurozone has already entered into its second recession in four years, as debt-ridden countries in southern Europe, such as Greece, Spain and Italy, continue to struggle.[1] Mounting public protests, rising unemployment rates and a dipping gross domestic product (GDP) have many Europeans asking for relief.[2]
"What we are seeing in Europe, we've never seen before," says Alfred Nader, vice president of Corporate Strategy and Development for Western Union Business Solutions. "It's not like we can pull out an economics book and find an answer."
How the Uncertainty Started
To know how to navigate these economic conditions and the impact on the euro conversion rate, it's important for small business owners to understand how Europe got here in the first place. The structure of the eurozone is central to the crisis. It's as if all of the eurozone countries — Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia and Spain — were considered a single economic entity.[1]
"The markets perceived lending risk as being very low because they assumed that the larger core countries, such as Germany and France, would step in to support other countries if they were to get into too much trouble says an Analyst from Western Union Business Solutions. "The perception was that the euro area was collectively responsible for individual borrowing."
For awhile, countries like Greece, Spain, Portugal and Ireland were able to borrow beyond their means because foreign investors assumed other eurozone countries like Germany and France, who co-signed on to the eurozone, would be willing and able to foot the bill if any country got into trouble, says an Analyst from Western Union Business Solutions.
As global trade fell in 2008, investors became nervous and began to transfer money out of countries like Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Ireland.[3] "The markets became afraid that these countries might become insolvent some time in the future," sas an Analyst from Western Union Business Solutions.. This is because certain countries, like Greece, weren't able to cover their interest payments and needed rescue packages to pay off the debt.
Meanwhile, more investments were diverted to countries such as Germany. "Germany's competitive exports, strong current account position and stable balance sheet made it a safe haven in the sense that investors felt comfortable in lending to the government," says an Analyst from Western Union Business Solutions.
Even though every country in the eurozone is connected and uses the same currency, they still remain sovereign entities. That means all eurozone countries have individual credit ratings based on agencies like Standard & Poor's or Moody's, which grade each country on a scale from AAA for the highest grade, most secure countries, to D for countries that are experiencing financial difficulty.[4]
Less Inventory and Shorter Cycles
As foreign investors became less likely to invest, companies that conducted business in Europe created shorter inventory cycles to manage risk. Companies began to proceed with greater caution. "When businesses are more hesitant to invest, you see a drop in growth, a drop in competitiveness and drop in demand for various products," an Analyst from Western Union Business Solutions says.
"In Italy, the birthplace of premium coffee and espresso, we saw a drop in demand for products consumed in cafes and restaurants. More people switched to home-brewed and instant varieties, and the global supply chain for higher-end arabica coffee was impacted. Benchmark prices plunged, while demand for lower-quality robusta beans rose. "This compressed margins in coffee-exporting countries and also damaged growth for companies that build commercial coffee machines."
The European debt crisis has directly impacted the growth of U.S. exports to the eurozone, which account for 18 percent of American exports.[5] The dollar has appreciated as much as 15 percent against the euro, as foreign investors who once sought out European markets have switched to U.S. Treasury securities. In other words, "Large institutional funds shifted billions of dollars out of euro-denominated instruments into dollars." For a time, this made U.S. exports less competitive in global markets.[5]
[5]There was also a psychological impact. "[The eurozone] was the second largest economy in the world," an Analyst from Western Union Business Solutions says. "As investors lost their appetites, so did businesses and consumers around the world."
That will likely change in the future, because when consumers go through a period of uncertainty they often cut back on those major purchases. But once that uncertainty is lifted, that pent-up demand is unleashed, and they begin purchasing again, says an Analyst from Western Union Business Solutions.
Monitor the Market
Business owners can monitor the situation by opening up a dialogue with their trading partners who live in European countries. the Analyst suggests talking to suppliers and buyers, and asking what they see in the future. "Of course, this is based on their gut understanding," he says, "but it does help."
And instead of entering into a long-term contract, consider going into something shorter. For example, creating contracts that cover three to six months may help a business react more quickly to changes in currency value than continuing to engage in one-year contracts.
"My friends aren't entering into anything in Europe that is long term; they just don't know what is going to happen," Nader says.
However, it's also important to remember that times of uncertainty can also be times of opportunity. "In a sense, Europe may be the new emerging market in the years ahead," says an Analyst from Western Union Business Solutions. "Expectations are currently so low, we may be surprised by its strength in the future."

Many advertisers are increasingly making room in their budgets for Facebook ads, but over the years, there's been a lot of talk about the general ineffectiveness of them compared to say, Google AdWords.
One of the obvious challenges with Facebook ads is that it is a social network. Unlike search, which lends itself to ads targeted to a particular search query, the site is generally being used as a tool of leisure.
That makes creating ads that stand out difficult.
Recently, one Facebook advertiser observed that an ad containing a picture of beer delivered its best CTR. In fact, it performed 57% better than any other ad tried.
Beer, of course, didn't have anything to do with this advertiser's business, but beer, for obvious reasons, seemed like a good way to grab attention.
So FeeFighters, a company that helps businesses obtain better rates on merchant accounts, decided to replicate the beer experiment.
The result: close to 396,000 impressions of the beer ad delivered just over 1,250 clicks. With a .018% CTR, this beer ad was one of the best performing ads for FeeFighters.
But, as you may have expected, those clicks didn't exactly translate into action. In fact, only one of those 1,250 clicks actually produced a conversion, which entails setting up a free auction in which merchant account providers compete for business. "That means our CPA for the beer ad was …$1951. Ouch," FeeFighters' Stella Fayman wrote.
None of this, of course, is really surprising. Associating an image of beer with an ad that really has nothing to do with beer would logically produce clicks, but not conversions. But there are several important facts this experiment highlights:
- Facebook ads realistically aren't suitable for all advertisers. Despite the targeting capabilities Facebook offers, some ads simply aren't going to produce ROI.
- In an environment where intent isn't naturally present, like Facebook, the techniques you use to increase CTR can have a (very) harmful impact on conversions. But without those techniques, Facebook advertising can be hard to scale even though Facebook has hundreds of millions of users.
- Facebook isn't always cheap. On a per-click basis, Facebook ads might not cost as much as their AdWords counterparts, but an ill-conceived campaign can be costly.
Comments (9)
I think beer is in the wheel house of many people who are active on Facebook. The demographics are perfect.
Nice review of an interesting experiment.
Of course, most advertisers just won't have the budget to do this kind of test so it's great you've created this article to share the results.
Ummm 396,000 impressions and just over 1,250 clicks gives 0.316% CTR surely.
Which is about average for Facebook.
And the low level of conversion (one) is the result of what we all already know - sloppy targeting causes floppy conversion rates.
I'm going to try this on all my Google Display Network image ads from now on (just to be sure)... :-)
(The direct ROI on them couldn't get much worse anyway! :-)
what wasteful money to spend of! Advertisers who read this will think twice to place their ads on Facebook I think.
But, there is a question. What about landing a bad landing page which lead no conversion?
Wow they figured Facebook is mainly a consumer audience and their audience is business owners. Geniuses.
Maybe Facebook CPC is lower than AdWords, but these results don´t seem very profitable for most businesses. Regards!
I think it is obvious that a beer can increase the number of clicks that an ad receives, because beer is an image that attracts us, but if it has nothing to do with the product or service we offer, will get no clients

Ventriculostomy/ICP question
In our 30 bed combined Trauma/Neuro/Surgical/Cardiovascular/Cardiac ICU, we are having a bit of a dilemma as to where to level the transducer on our ICP drainage set. We use the Codman system. I was taught by my preceptor that it's levelled to the tip of the ear. I've read in several different areas that it should be levelled to the tragus of the ear and another reference said it should be levelled to the outer canthus of the eye. Which is correct? I know that it DOESN'T get leveled to the phlebostatic axis where we level the transducers for our Swans and Art lines yet some RN's in our unit have done that and then called the MD when the readings were off!

I would certainly check your facility's policy and procedure manual first. If the matter is addressed, I would use that. If not, perhaps you and some others might work to write a policy. If you are doing ICP monitoring, you need one.
What has worked for me is to ask the neurosurgeon at what level he or she desires the transducer. Then I clearly/prominently document the position where the measurements are to be obtained.
This serves 2 purposes: If the surgeon is a stickler for specific landmarks for different catheter tip positions, you will know it. Secondly, you will achieve consistancy in your readings between nurses which is extremely important yet apparently lacking at present.
As noted above, if specified I would definitely use the facility's written policy. If you are asked by the surgeon to deviate from that policy, I would write that as an order---in turn the order should be transcribed to the Kardex/computerized patient profile or the like to insure accurate communication between nurses.
Probably not the concrete answer that you were looking for, but it has worked for me. I do think the generic answer is between the top of the ear and the corner of the eye.Feb 10, '03Our policy states to level to the external audotory meatus of the ear. So, that's what I've been doing. Now our CNS states that it should be levelled to the tragus. Are they the same thing?Mar 7, '03In our unit the transducer is leveled at the tragus of the ear, we usually keep the drainage bag (codman)lower to facilitate draining.Mar 11, '03Well, one of the new neurosurgeons wants us to level a ventric. to the pinna of the ear. Hmmm...wish they'd make up their minds!!!!!!Apr 6, '03Hi nurse-lou,
Our codman rep instructed us to use the tragus.
Just adding my two cents,
BJApr 8, '03I know nothing about neuro!!!! But I just wanted to say, what a combo of ICU's.... are you trained in all aspects?Apr 9, '03Don't they try to make something simple complicated ? Since they came out with the first intracranial/intraventricular monitoring devices and transducers , it has always been the tragus.
I love neuro ICU. What a challenge ! Keeping the intraventricular pressures within the narrow ranges
prescribed. Gave lots of IVP meds in that unit !Apr 9, '03We run EVD's on the floor. Policy is to the tragus, unless the surgeon specifically orders something else.Apr 29, '03To answer your question New CCU RN, we get a little of everything in my ICU which I love but is also a PIA as you never get to become an "expert" so to speak. But there's always someone that I can go to with questions. I've figured out which RN is good at what specialty. I've decided that if they ever split the units back up that I want to be in the CV surgery side of things.
They don't give a new RN in the unit a ventric pt unless that person has previous experience with them or they've been paire with another RN and oriented to Ventriculostomies.Apr 29, '03Nurse-lou,
That makes sense. It also does sound interesting having everything combined. We have six ICU's in my hospital, however, we often get eachother's overflow. I love taking off service patients because there is always room for learning. Being a CCU we take mainly micu patients but also get alot of surgical traumas, and neuro patients. If the patient is too sick ie) needs a ventric then we will do a lateral transfer. Just like if one of our patients was in neuro and they needed a balloon pump.Apr 29, '03As with CVP, PAWP ETC it does not matter what point you use as a "zero" as long as EVERYONE is using the same point consistantly. I once worked in a unit that zeroed CVP measurements from the sterno-manubrial angle on the basis that it was a more accurate reference when positioning a patient on thier side.
For ICP we actually used a midpoint between ear and eye as a marker for the ventricles. Then you position your patinet onto the side and watch some of the RN's try to zero from the upper ear!

October 11, 2001
In The Matter of
New York, New York

Taeyeon unfollows majority of Instagram friends, including boyfriend Baekhyun
Girls' Generation leader Taeyeon recently went on an unfollowing spree on Instagram where she cut down her following list to just 12 accounts. Many celebrities, including JYJ's Jae Joong, 2AM's Jo Kwon, and 2PM's Woo Young were cut from her account. Most notably, Taeyeon is no longer following her boyfriend, Baekhyun of EXO. Fans are speculating if this has any implication on the status of their relationship.
It's important to note that Taeyeon's streamlined account still includes her fellow Girls' Generation members along with Super Junior's Hee Chul. It's possible that she just wants to keep her Instagram account more intimate for her and her fans. SONEs are hoping that this doesn't imply any serious problems.

2 additional ways to trigger your builds in PipelinesBy Claire Maynard on January 3, 2017
If you didn't hear it already, Bitbucket recently announced Pipelines which lets your team automate the integration and delivery process. Automation in software development is becoming increasingly important. Automation saves you time because you have less manual work and it reduces risk by giving you a consistent and repeatable process for all of your team's code. Ultimately, you spend less time putting out fires and more time releasing quality code, faster.
While in most cases, your team will want to use automation to trigger builds when branches are pushed, there are times when you may want to add a manual step to your process, such as with longer-running builds or triggering a release manually.
That's why we've added manual pipelines.
Trigger builds manually
Just add a custom pipeline to your bitbucket-pipelines.yml and you'll be able to trigger it for a commit in Bitbucket.
Trigger builds with tags
Many of those already using Pipelines have asked for this, and we listened! In addition to letting you set up manual pipelines we've also introduced an additional way to trigger your builds — with tags.
You can now trigger your builds with tags in your Git repository (and bookmarks for Mercurial repositories). While your usual development workflow may mean pushing branches, your team might use tags to mark a commit for release. For example, configure a pipeline that deploys on tags then tag your commit to deploy it. Additionally, the name of the tag being built will be available as an environment variable as <$BITBUCKET_TAG>.
– step:
– npm install
– npm test
– step:
– npm install
– npm test
– npm publish ./
Check out our guide on how to trigger builds with tags.
Try Bitbucket Pipelines
If you're ready to get started with Bitbucket Pipelines, sign up for a Bitbucket cloud account.
If you're already using Pipelines, you can learn how to set up manual-triggered and tag-triggered builds here. Have feedback for us on these features? Tell us what you think by tweeting us @Bitbucket.

The fight started well for Terdsak who surprisingly dropped Salido inside a minute to give us a very shocking start. Unfortunately that klnockdown was quickly cancelled out when Salido had a knockdown ruled in his favour from a blatant low blow. How the referee ruled the shot legal is a mystery though it was one of many mysteries that the referee left us with on a night he may wish to forget.
In round two we again saw Salido dropped, this time it was a hard knockdown and the Mexican took his time to get up and by the time he was upright the bell had gone to end the round giving him a minute to collect himself. That minute did Salido the world of good and he had his best round up to that point in round 3, the first round of the fight with out a knockdown. It was a Salido round and it was the first time the fans seemed to believe that their man was taking charge of the bout. The success from Salido grew and in round 4 he dropped Terdsak for a second time whilst also landing a lot of body shots which seemed to take their toll on the Thai.
Salido seemed to feel that Terdsak was their for the taking and went to work immediately in round 5 whilst neglecting his defense in the process. He paid for that by being dropped for the third time in the bout and giving us the 5th knockdown in as many rounds. Sadly for Terdsak that was his last major moment of success as Salido got up, dusted himself off and went back on the offensive applying constant educated pressure that Terdsak had no real answer for, barring an occasional uppercut.
In round 6 we again saw the referee try his best to add major controversy as he stopped the men with Salido on the offensive. It appeared he'd stopped the bout though 10 seconds later he made it clear he hadn't stopped it, though we're unsure what he was doing. Maybe he thought he'd heard the bell or maybe he thought the men in the ring were stealing the show and he wanted to get some of the limelight. Whatever it was was inexcusable from the official.
Although Salido may have felt he had had a victory robbed from him in round 6 it didn't stop his offensive work and in round 7 he scored his 3rd knockdown. Terdsak took a follow up attack surprisingly well though it was clear he was tiring, partly by the pace of the bout, partly from Salido's body shots and partly from the low blows which were landing round after round with no warning from the referee. Yes the referee who tried to steal the show managed to miss numerous obvious low blows.
The 8th round saw more offensive work from Salido who was really starting to come on strong and break down Terdsak who lost the clearly and the same applied to round 9. Sadly the referee missed more low blows, including a monster of a shot to the "gentleman's area" in round 9 that really deserved a break for the Thai who won't be having any "intimate moments" any time soon.
In round 10 it appeared that Terdsak had gone all in. He tried to fight head-to-head with Salido but the Mexican had a much better shot selection and work rate and it showed as he clearly won the round and left Terdsak looking like a tough but very beaten man.
Terdsak became a beaten man in round 11 as Salido unleashed a vicious assault that stunned Terdsak and then dropped him hard. The referee, for the first time in the fight, did the right thing and waved off the action immediately to give doctors a chance to get to Terdsak. Thankfully the Thai seemed fully responsive though appeared to be exhausted as much as anything.
The fight, which featured a total of 7 knockdowns might have been the last big bout of the weekend but was possibly the most exciting. It was, of course, a hard loss for Terdsak who may now consider retirement though he'll know that fans will be talking about this one for the rest of the year. For Salido his "reward" appears to be a rematch with Mikey Garcia, a man who dropped him repeatedly when the men met as Featherweights 20 months ago. That could be another painful night for "Siri".
For those who didn't catch the show we must advise you also watch the under-card war between Ramon Garcia Hirales and Javier Mendoza. It was another sensational contest on one of the best shows of the year.

About Us
Ethics and Compliance
Ethics and Compliance
The Nature Conservancy established an Ethics and Compliance Office to help assure that all of its activities are lawful, ethical, and consistent with "Integrity Beyond Reproach," a core Conservancy value. The Ethics and Compliance Office is staffed by a Chief and a Deputy Compliance Officer. The Chief Compliance Officer reports directly to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
The Office has four core areas of responsibility: training, policy and procedure development and oversight, risk assessment, and investigations of noncompliance. In addition to investigating allegations of noncompliance made directly by staff, the Office manages a Hotline which is available to all employees to make anonymous reports of, or inquiries about, compliance issues.
In addition, anyone (for example, grantees, subawardees, or contractors) who has a compliance concern or who knows of or suspects a violation of law by the Conservancy may report the concern to the Conservancy's Ethics and Compliance Office by e-mailing email@example.com or by contacting the Conservancy's Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer:
Renee Kurth
Acting Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer
4245 N. Fairfax Drive
Arlington, VA 22203
The Office provides regular compliance training to every Conservancy employee, members of the Board of Directors, Chapter Trustees, and other volunteer advisors. In 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 the Ethisphere Institute named The Nature Conservancy one of the World's Most Ethical Companies.

Top 10 Detangling Hair Brushes in India
Every girl must select a right hair brush, based on her hair quality or the style she wants to flaunt, in order to have a perfect hairstyle. Investing in a good quality, detangling hair brush ensures huge savings. A detangling hair brush helps in acquiring almost perfect, salon quality results at home, at almost one-fourth the price. Moreover, we can style our hair whenever we desire.
It is also very important to brush our hair, following the right method. Brushing the hair in the right way and with the right brush helps massage the scalp, stimulate the oil glands, and also clean the hair shafts and follicles.
Brushes are available in the market in different shapes and sizes. These are usually made up of either natural bristles, synthetic bristles or a combination of the two bristles. Here are the top 10 detangling hair brushes available in India.
Top 10 Detangling Hair Brushes in India:
1. Ceramic and Ion Big Round Brush:
2. Boar Bristle Detangling Brush for Fragile Hair:
3. Small Round Brush:
Due to its barrel-shaped tourmaline and ion charged bristles, this brush delivers what it promises. It gives a great styling result without doing any damage to the hair shafts and follicles. Since it is small in size, it is best suited for all ladies with short to medium length hair. An added feature of this detangling hair brush is that it gives volume to layered hair which enhances the overall look of the person.
4. Boar Bristle Teasing Brush:
5. Boar Bristle Paddle Brush:
[ Read: How To Choose The Right Hair Brush ]
6. Extra Small Round Brush:
7. Thermo Ceramic Straightening Brush:
8. Wet Detangling Shower Brush:
9. Vent Brush:
10. Cushion Brush:
[ Read: Round Brush Bristle ]
*Subject to Availability
In conclusion, it can be said that the best hair brush is one that has both synthetic and boar bristles. The boar bristles are gentle on the hair while the synthetic bristles help the hair in drying faster. A good brush is one which ensures hair luster by distributing the natural oils of the oil glands located on the scalp. It should also act as a good detangling brush and at the same time should not cause any harm to the scalp.

The Dahlonega Literary Festival is an annual celebration of books that takes place in March. Situated in Historic Downtown Dahlonega, the festival continues to grow and become more delightful as the years go on. Ours is an intimate festival about books and authors with a mission to promote interaction between readers and writers in a relaxed, informal environment. Visitors have an opportunity to meet and interact with the authors. In addition to attending speaking events and book signings, attendees can have lunch with their favorite authors at a local restaurant.
Past featured authors include: Frances Mayes, Diana Gabaldon, Terry Kay, Deanna Raybourn, Joshilyn Jackson, and many more. Where else can you see, have conversations with, and even dine with bestselling authors while surrounded by the beautiful North Georgia Mountains.
We promise that it will interest anyone who is a lover of books and reading. All festival events are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted.
Dahlonega Literary Festival operates under the 501c3 umbrella of the Lumpkin County Literacy Coalition. Please visit our Sponsorship page if you are interested in donating to our festival.

Remember when the joke was you went to college and majored in Underwater Basket Weaving?
Well, no more. Now, you get pay the college to role play, and one student gets to be the pimp, and the other gets to be the hooker. Now, while it doesn't say so, I'll bet in the interest of political correctness, fairness, and equal opportunity some women got to play the pimp and some guys got to play the hooker. Luckily the CU Provost put a stop to this nonsense, and some students said it was "so dumb, really, really dumb." One wonders how stoned the college professor was…if you've been to Boulder, you know that is a definite possibility…
University of Colorado officials have ordered a Boulder professor to stop teaching a course on deviant behavior because of a lecture on prostitution.
CU Provost Russell Moore sent an email to students, faculty and staff on Monday saying sociology professor Patti Adler is being suspended from teaching the class because of complaints from students who did not want to participate in a role-playing skit. Students said they felt their grades would be affected if they did not participate.
The report in the Boulder Daily Camera described the skit. One actor played a female prostitute who was sold into slavery another played a pimp. Alder said the skit "enlivens visibly the stratification hierarchy of prostitutes."
The report said school officials deny they are trying to force Adler out. Adler, 62, told students the skit on prostitution was seen as a risk to the university. READ MORE…
By Your Host: John Alanis
John Alanis has been teaching men how to attract the women they really want since 2004, even getting them to approach you first, no matter your looks, age or income. John not only teaches the skill of initial attraction, he also teaches the skill of sustaining attraction so men can continue the relationships they form with women. After all, it is no good to meet lots of women if they won't stick around.
John is most certainly not a part of the "pick up artist crowd," instead teaching men how to make themselves "naturally attractive" by suppressing unattractive behaviors and amplifying attractive ones, making yourself attractive without changing "who you are." John served in the US Navy's submarine force in the early 90's, worked in the oilfields of Alaska and has been running his own business since 1995. The theme of "mental toughness" and "how to be a real man in an age of girlie men" runs through is writings and teachings. While not for the faint of heart or weak of mind, John's teachings do get results, and he has many happy subscribers and customers.

How To Increase Your Chances Of Getting More Website Traffic?
If you're worried about your site's traffic declining steadily of late, then it's time to take a quick action to get your website on track for better performance.
Especially, with all the recent changes and updates made by Google, there are high chances that your website could be experiencing many serious traffic issues.
Believe it or not-it's a huge challenge to get sustained and increased organic traffic for any website, without investing your time, money and resources carefully.
Start doing the right things now and see the drastic difference it makes in bringing an increasing amount of traffic for your website.
-Focus on providing remarkable content
Always make sure that your content is of top quality and when featured on the website, it must be able to create a lasting impression on the minds of your readers.
There are high chances that your website might be penalized by Google for having low quality posts, which can bring down your website rankings instantly.
Search engines love high quality content and they are likely to be shared by maximum number of people, which can result in more organic traffic for your website.
#Before your hit the publish button, check if everything's in the right place.
-Grab the long tail keywords
It's common to use two or three word key search phrases due to their high search volumes while writing your content. Because of high competition for such keywords, it may take a long time for your website to achieve the desired rankings.
Beat the competition more smartly by using more specific and long tail search phrases commonly used in their search by people. Try the location or category that you are looking to target using these long tail keywords. For ex: Car dealers in Central Oakland Pittsburgh PA.
#You're likely to attract targeted and organic traffic by using a more specific and relevant keyword phrase than simply using a broad keyphrase ,with less competition.
-Offer To Guest Blog On Popular Websites
If you're thinking about using guest blogs purely for gaining traffic for your website, then it might make more sense now.
You've greater chances of exposing your content to a new audience and the increased benefit of getting more traffic from high authority websites. But always remember to write guest posts for websites that have a decent traffic and know the value of publishing high value content.
It's always better to write on your own niche so that you can relate directly to your target audience.
Value the opportunity of publishing your blog posts on other websites by sharing and promoting guest posts as your own with equal enthusiasm.
#A great way to start engaging your visitors and building relationships is by taking time to respond to their comments regularly.
-Stay away from unethical practices
One of the best ways to get natural and organic traffic for your websites is by avoiding wrong practices. Building cheap links, using the same anchor text, purchasing inbound links, publishing low quality and stolen content are a strict no-no if you want to build loyalty and trust for your business.
#There is a high chance of Google penalizing your website for resorting to unethical means of improving ranking for your website.

ABWi Sites
Check Web Site Status
Is that web site up or is it just you? There are many reasons why you might not be able to connect to a specific web site but that does not mean the web site you want to look at is down. Perhaps there is a problem with your Internet connection or maybe your school or employer does not want you to look at the things you want to look at. Enter the domain name or the URL you want to know about. We will check to see if the web site is working and let you know if it is just your connection or if the web site really is down at the moment.

Dachshunds have some unique 'gestures' to their breed that I have been asked what they mean. I'll start by saying that many of these gestures can be traced back to the fact that Dachshunds were bred to be hunting pack dogs.
Dachshunds Love to Lick Your Face
Why do Dachshunds love to lick your face? In an earlier post, Why do Dachshunds Love to Lick Your Face, you can read in more detail why they do, in fact, love to lick your face. To sum things up, Dachshunds love to lick your face because they are looking for food scraps. Not to be concerned, this is part of his natural hunter instinct.
They see you as the pack leader, the alpha dog, returning from the hunt. So, basically, they want to see what you caught during your hunt. Your Dachshund is simply doing what he was bred to do. Its in his genes. Although, I think we all like to think of them as 'kisses'!
Dachshunds (Barron's Dog Bibles)
Dachshunds Poke With Their Nose
Every time I let my dachshund outside to do 'potty' he smells and pokes around with his nose. I pretty much have to 'remind' and 'redirect' him that he's out there to do potty. Why does he do this?
This is completely normal behavior for a Dachshund. His/her 'hunter' instinct has just been activated. Outside, in his yard, he automatically will start to search and sniff out any prey that may have intruded into his territory. He's looking for squirrels, rabbits and you never know when there might be a badger in your back yard!
Once they have been satisfied the yard is 'clear', they will usually proceed with the potty break. This is one of the main reasons why Dachshunds have a reputation for being one of the hardest dog breeds to potty train. Often times all they need is a little redirection.
Dachshunds – The Owner's Guide From Puppy To Old Age
Dachshunds Lift Their Front Paws
Many times, when my Dachshund is outside, I notice he will stop in his tracks, lift up his front paw and just stand there. Why does he do this?
Once again, not to be concerned, your Dachshund is displaying normal behavior. His hunter instinct has kicked in again.
When your Dachshund lifts his front paw and stands still, he is pointing. It is his way of notifying you as if to say, 'I see something moving over there, it could be a potential badger! (the animal they were bred to hunt)'
By standing still, lifting his paw and 'pointing' he is letting you know the direction in which he saw something. Once you give him 'the all clear' or he senses there is no longer a potential threat, he will stop.
Hopefully, these brief explanations will help you to understand and assure you that your Dachshund is behaving normally.

Well, the financial planning season has arrived. It's the time when people start to map out expenses for the rest of the year. As you see your list of upcoming projects and expenses grow, you may be wondering how you're going to fund them all. We have good news: A home equity line of credit (HELOC) may help.
In the simplest terms, a home equity line of credit works a little like a credit card—except it's secured by your home. Bank lenders approve you for a specific amount of credit based on the amount of equity you have in your home. The best part is, you're not required to borrow up to the limit of your credit line, which means you won't have to advance more than you need. A HELOC gives you instant access to cash to use anywhere and on anything.
To help you consider some different options, we've compiled a list of the five most effective ways to use a HELOC.
Here's a selection of common home improvements that will provide you with the most return on your investment (ROI).
After seeing these costly figures, you may be asking yourself, "Are home improvements worth it?" Well, it all depends. If you're thinking about replacing your kitchen and building an indoor ice skating ring, that might seem like a good idea to you, but not necessarily to the average buyer. But if you're thinking about upgrading the old kitchen with new cabinitery and countertops, then it's probably worth it because of its ROI.
It also depends on the quality of the installation or remodeling. Consider having professionals carry out the work so your home improvements don't turn out like these. But whether you do the home improvements yourself or have a professional do them for you, a home equity line of credit is a great way to pay for these big-ticket expenses.
Summer is right around the corner, so families are starting to plan their upcoming vacations. Though certain vacations can be cheaper, many popular destinations can cost a family thousands of dollars. For example, the average trip to Disneyland for a family of four is around $3,000. A HELOC can be a good way to help finance your vacation or summer travels, while also alleviating the stress of having to use a credit card or cutting back your regular budget.
Certain times of the year are more financially demanding than others. There are personal and family costs—like weddings, funerals, births and accidents—that can put a strain on a family budget. After the holiday season, most Americans can add $986 in debt rolling into the new year. Over half (52%) of holiday debtholders use a credit card to finance those expenses. Rather than using a credit card, which can often have higher interest rates, a HELOC can help fund those seasonal and family expenses.
Are you thinking of going back to school? Going to grad school isn't cheap, with a master's degree costing anywhere from $30,000 to $120,000. However, it's the long-term return on your investment that can make the cost worth it. Studies show that those with a master's degree earn 15% higher income over the lifetime of their career. A HELOC can help fund any educational costs, whether they are for your college-age child or yourself.
More and more people are looking to the equity in their homes for help with financial flexibility or cash flow management of their finances. A home equity line of credit generally has lower interest rates than a credit card or personal loan, since the loan is secured by your home. You also have flexible borrowing because there are no restrictions on how you can use funds from a HELOC.
These are just five ways you can use a home equity line of credit. Really, the possibilities are endless. Whatever your financial needs are, a HELOC can help you take the next step in crossing some of those to-do's off your list or making your next dream family vacation a reality.

For Kathryn and David Wright, Voglers Cove is their home and their community sees it that way, too.
The 74-year-old migrants from Massachusetts are deeply attached to the Lunenburg County village. And Voglers Cove is deeply attached to them.
For good reason. David helped found the local volunteer fire department in the 1970s and still volunteers there. Kat founded and operates a free library, Read and Share Corner, at the community hall. They're a precious resource for any small community — people ready to step up and give their time to make it a safer, better place to live.
But neither the Wrights nor their neighbours have been able to convince immigration officials to overturn, on compassionate grounds, a decision to deport the couple for not meeting residency requirements over several decades.
The Wrights have lived in Voglers Cove for two five-year periods, one in the 1970s and one since 2012. They are being deported for legally forfeiting their permanent-resident status by not residing in Canada for the required number of days in the intervening years. In their view, they only left for necessity: to earn and save enough to re-establish themselves here after an effort at fishing for a living failed.
The case for not deporting them is a lot more compelling and important to Voglers Cove, Nova Scotia and Canada.
First, there is the humanitarian reason: they would suffer economic hardship if forced to return on a modest income to the U.S., where they have no home or support.
Then there is the public interest: they have acted as fine citizens here, regardless of their legal status — so much so that residents and officials have written testimonials to their service. More than 40 people supported them at a 2016 immigration board hearing. Though that tribunal ruled against them — citing limits on its discretion to weigh compassionate factors or community good works against the length of their absence from Canada — its "difficult decision" had the highest praise for them: "If the criteria would have been, 'Would you want these people as your neighbours?,' objectively almost anyone would wish so."
The official who does have discretion to apply this important criteria is Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen. He can grant permanent residency or citizenship on broad humanitarian grounds or as a special case of alleviating hardship or rewarding services to Canada. Granting the Wrights permanent residency on any or all of these grounds would be appropriate and a mark of Canada's fairness and humanity. We urge Mr. Hussen to do that.
We can see no public interest served in deporting the Wrights. But allowing them to stay is good for their community and shows a flexibility and appreciation of giving qualities that are needed if we are serious about attracting people to Nova Scotia. And Canada's reputation is enhanced in the world by tempering rules with good and decent judgment. It's in the public interest to do that here.

Most of all always think bad rather than good just because of one bad thing happens to them. Therefore we loose hope. So Never loose hope. Finally you got to know about destiny.
