polarization project antenna
A real good Antenna would be a 2 meter Quad, and a 70cm quad both will work well. For 2 meter quad use a 21-1/4" element length that is 5.28" per side. This is the reflector on a 1/2 diam. boom. The Driven element will be 20 1/2" (5.125)" and the director 1 will be 5.031" and director 2 will be 5.031" per each side. The length of the boom will depend of the tightness of the beam received and transmit pattern . Typical length would be 4 to 6 feet. You can adjust the spacing as to your desire. And the Same principle for 70 cm . Put them up once to tested them with the Antenna analyzer.

Glenn Ray, 16, and Jorge Ocampo, 15, were best friends, looking for a way to stay in shape.
They could have played football or lifted weights, but they chose boxing. That's because the new, and already popular, Sunrise Police Athletic League is offering the sport as one of its activities.
"It's definitely good because it gives people somewhere to go and people to meet," Ocampo said.
And that's what organizers had in mind when they started the PAL.
Monday, the first night of the new league's activities, dozens of kids turned out for boxing, aerobics, soccer, basketball and roller hockey. Overall, 237 kids ages 7 to 17 have signed up since last month.
"It was wonderful," said Tina Ray, one of the organizers. "We had a load of kids out there."
Ray, the secretary for the Sunrise PAL, persuaded her son, Glenn, and his friend to join the league. She ended up teaching one of the aerobics classes when PAL was short an instructor.
"I'm still aching," she said Wednesday.
Glenn and Ocampo said they chose boxing without fear of getting knocked silly.
"They're going to give us protective gear," Ocampo said. "The coaches watch out for you."
His friend wasn't worried either. An 11-year baseball player, Glenn Ray wants to get in shape and have some fun.
"As soon as I heard about the boxing, I said, `I'm going to go for it.' I work and go to school and afterward, what am I going to do?'' Barry Halber, one of the boxing coaches, is happy to see kids sign up.
"It's a win-win situation all around," he said.
Police Chief David Boyett, who started his new job Monday, and has already been hearing from residents concerned about juvenile crime in the city, is thrilled to inherit the PAL.

Cleansing for me is the most important part of my skincare routine and I love starting the day with a fresh face. There is absolutely no other feeling like it specially when you have skin like mine and live in a pretty humid country. Having a fresh and clean face is the most important part for to keep my skin under control and calm. Using this cleanser does exactly that for me and my skin has been so good lately.
The packaging is very practical as it has a pump and you can control how much of it comes out but unfortunately it is not very travel friendly as the pump doesn't go back in after you have opened it up which is a real bummer. How ever you can pour it into a disposable bottle when you have to travel. The cleanser itself is a bit on the runny side but not too much so that it drips. It has a very soft and velvety feel to it when you get it on to your skin.
I have used this cleanser to remove my makeup and it does remove even waterproof mascara but I did notice that it doesn't remove everything, there was a slight trace of makeup remaining when I was toning my face that came onto the cotton pad. So I suggest removing your makeup first and then using the cleanser to actually cleanse your face. However after using this cleanser my skin always felt fresh and super clean. I usually take two pumps for my face and neck and massage it into the skin and use a muslin cloth soaked in lukewarm water to remove it, that way it kind of gives a little bit of a spa feeling to it and you can steam that face to open up the pores and really clean it.
My skin felt soft and refreshed and it calmed down so much. My break out slowed down and my skin wasn't very oily the next morning as well and even throughout the day. Which is a lot because that helped my skin calm down and stop the break outs. I have been really enjoying this cleanser as it has saved my skin and at the same time really cleans my skin well, in other words gives my skin a good deep clean. The humidity is so much that my does need a good deep clean to keep it clean and spot free.
An inexpensive cleanser that will help you get your skin back to normal and help you keep your oily skin under control, so I definitely recommend this cleanser by Neutrogena as it gets a thumbs up from me. Have you used this Neutrogena cleanser before? Let me know what you think in the comment box below.

Any day of the week you'll find me in all black: black wide leg pants and a black Everlane sweater, black leather leggings and a black Chanel jacket … I'm not what they call an adventurous dresser.
But I do envy those who experiment with patterns and prints, and there are many women who wear them well (and often!) at the InStyle offices. Over the past few seasons, I've noticed an uptick in long, floral dresses—long floral dresses worn no matter the season.
RELATED: How To Wear Florals in Winter
Thanks to brands like Zimmermann, Doen, and, of course, crowd favorite Ulla Johnson, wearing a floral dress is no longer reserved for a tea party or summer date. It's totally socially acceptable to throw on a white floral in the middle of February with a faux fur and, say, Timberlands. It's street-style gold.
Ulla Johnson rules the roost when it comes to this aesthetic. Raised in NYC, the daughter of two archeologists, she launched her line in 1998 and was almost instantly picked up by Barneys; the beginning of one of many long-standing marked retail relationships.
RELATED: Go Inside Ulla Johnson's NYC Store
In tandem with her Fall 2018 show, we reached out to some of our favorite buyers to find out exactly what the Ulla Johnson craze is about. Here's what they said:
My Theresa: "It makes you feel like you are always on holiday," Tiffany Hsu, Fashion Buying Director, MyTheresa.com.
REVOLVE: "I love Ulla Johnson for her great silhouettes in feminine fabrics. She always pays attention to detail by adding pretty ruffles, bows, or smocking to help a classic body feel fresh and new. You're always getting a quality product that you can wear season after season," Lauren Yerkes, Vice President of Buying & Merchandising, REVOLVE.
ShopBop: "Ulla knows how to design for our the Shopbop girl—the fit, the print, and the trend are always spot on. I am so excited that she has expanded her collection to handbags, and shoes. I cannot wait to see what else is in store. I hope more," Caroline Maguire, Fashion Director, Shopbop.com.
Moda Operandi: The sensibility of Ulla Johnson's collections season after season defines her success as an industry and cult favorite. Her free-spirited and the nomadic bohemian vibe is recreated each season, keeping it fresh and always drawing you back for more. There is an ease to her collection, which allows you to imagine yourself in a city or on vacation," Elizabeth Leventhal, General Merchandising Manager of Moda Operandi.
Guess it's time to seek out a mid-winter floral dress.

Value Engineering
Value engineering involves seeking to improve the overall value of a project by persistently asking, "How can this be done better?" HAKS incorporates value engineering as a key cost-control component of all construction projects we manage. Our value engineering and life-cycle cost analysis methods are directed at obtaining the best value for clients by reducing the overall cost of a project or more economically applying its budget while maintaining the highest quality of construction. We conduct design reviews and construction means and methods reviews for functional improvements and alternatives analyses for cost savings. We evaluate multiple solution options across many construction disciplines, which results in innovative and creative reappraisals of project designs and building systems. This enables us to re-evaluate estimates and revise project budgets to reflect potential cost efficiencies and savings that can be realized by a new design concept or different way to construct the project. Clients benefit from our approach by achieving better overall project value and completing projects successfully, on time and within budget.

Ok, so I finally had the made the call for a follow-up consultation with the doctor. Tony and I both went and he basically said that the first cycle is always a gamble because they don't know how your body will actually respond to the meds, it is all guesswork. He did say that the embryologist had made a note in my chart that had said my eggs were "soft." He actually got up during the consult to go and talk with her. (she works in the back of the office) When he came back he said that she thought maybe they had "overcooked" and actually had little grainy particles in them. They weren't sure why, but weren't too overly concerned and just said they would try to have my ER be a day earlier on our next try. He also didn't think that we needed to have any other testing done at this time--just another try.
So, now we are in August of '08. My summer is so busy and hard to miss work, so we waited until the beginning of the next school year (I know, it sounds kind of backwards--but that's the way it is!). I had a special training the week I had to have my baseline appointment, so I got special permission from those in charge to miss an hour in the morning to go to my appointment. The doctor's office also had my come in on Friday, instead of Thursday, because it was less busy that morning and they could get me in and out quicker. Well, low and behold I had ANOTHER cyst. I didn't have to have this one aspirated because it was smaller, but my levels again did not go down so I was cancelled--AGAIN!
Now, move to the end September '08. **Just a little more stress to add to the situation at this time, I was having ANOTHER insurance change! It would be happening Oct 1st--right in the middle of cycle. I stressed a little and made lots of phone calls--but we found out that SIRM was still in network and the office manager there was great and got everything squared away so I could continue.** Ok, well since I was again on BCP's for a long period of time, no cyst was able to form. I was basically on the same med protocol, although they bumped up my FSH medicine a little to hopefully form larger follicles sooner. It did work, and I had ER this time on a Thursday, with 9 retrieved, 6 mature and again only 5 fertilized. We again had a 3 day transfer and this time we went with 3. We were a little nervous, but thought--what the heck! **oh wait--another thing. We found out during this cycle that the doctor was leaving the practice!!! A new doctor was starting though and she was actually present during cycle to see how SIRM did things--just one more stressor!!**
We again waited, but again did not get good news. It was another negative. I was beginning to wonder why we were having so many problems. My mind kept wandering back to my very first consult where Dr. G. said that it might be an egg problem......was it my fault that things weren't working?

MXGP 3 was one of the best surprises of last year. The motocross simulation offered significant improvements over its disappointing predecessor from an upgraded graphics engine and new weather effects powered by Unreal Engine 4, to an advanced terrain deformation system that completely transformed the experience.
Like many developers, Milestone has capitalised on the phenomenal success of the Switch and has ported the motocross simulation onto Nintendo's handheld-console hybrid. This makes MXGP 3 the first bike game available on the system that fills the void of a new Excitebike.
This isn't the first Milestone game released on a handheld system, however: you may remember games in the MotoGP, WRC and MXGP series were previously ported to the PlayStation Vita. Unfortunately, if you were hoping for a faithful Switch port of the original PC and console versions, you're going to be disappointed because MXGP 3 is missing several core features on Nintendo Switch.

When it involves financing a small business, the options are just about limitless. Personal Savings: Many entrepreneurs use funds from their very own private financial savings to launch their business venture. Funds from a 504 mortgage can be used to buy current buildings, land or long-time period machinery; to construct or renovate amenities; or to refinance debt in reference to an expansion of the business. Your account have to be successfully billed by AdWords and stay in good standing with a purpose to qualify for the promotional credit score.
Most loan applications will start by asking you for fundamental details about the business, the authorized structure, type of business you're running, what services and products you sell, and so on. Friends And Relatives: Private sources similar to friends and family members are often a spot to go to seek out additional funding for a business. In other words, make your business plan clear, concise, professional, and the best it could actually presumably be. Here's an infographic summarizing the several types of business loans and business mortgage requirements. These businesses provide personal attention to minority and ladies enterprise homeowners.
Likewise, a service-related enterprise usually operates with the use of tools, and is commonly specialized equipment for that particular sort of enterprise. Target your ads to prospects in certain nations, areas or cities – or inside a set distance from what you are promoting or store. Business homeowners typically use credit cards as a handy source of money to finance their enterprise needs.
The loans are usually structured with the SBA providing 40 p.c of the full project costs, a taking part lender overlaying up to 50 % and the borrower putting up the remaining 10 percent. Like most different products, the more you already know what is accessible to you the better knowledgeable you resolution will likely be. There is an enormous number of interest rates attached to loans. These small business loans are provided in a long-time period, fastened-charge financing foundation by Certified development corporations set up to facilitate the expansion and development of their communities and regions.
To activate this offer: Enter the promotional code in your account earlier than August 1st 2016. Of course, borrowers are nonetheless required to submit full-fledge mortgage software proposals to the lender with the distinction being that the SBA is the guarantor for such loans. Whether used for startup capital or for an current business, credit cards could be convenient and surprisingly cheap.

A professional career in music and having a family were roads God intended for Sister Margaret Mary to travel before joining the Benedictine Sisters of Florida.
Sister Tracey Adams
Sister Tracey Adams became a novice at Holy Name Monastery in June 2018. After spending a year discerning and travelling to a number of Communities throughout the country, she felt the Benedictine Sisters of Florida was right for her. She is from Greene, New York and living for the past several years near family in Saint Petersburg. A former nurse, Tracey's path to us has been a journey of happenings guided by God. From the age of fifteen when invited to church by a friend (the first time she heard about Jesus), Tracey has hungered to understand God's role in her life. Advice from family, her priest, the Saint Leo Monks would eventually land her at our monastery.
After several week-long visits, Tracey asked to stay. "Living here is a balance of prayer, work, community and personal time," says Tracey. After six months she made the decision to ask the Sisters if she could begin her Postulancy. Then on June 21, 2018 she was accepted into the Novitiate. "I arrived at Holy Name at the right time in my life's journey," says Sister Tracey.
Being an Affiliate is the first stage of growth and seeking for a woman who has been accepted by the Community to seriously discern her call to our monastic life through visits, correspondence and retreats.
Jennifer Hofer was born in Texas and moved to Florida at the age of two as the family wanted to be closer to grandparents and cousins. She received a BA in History and Classics from the University of Florida and a MA in History from the University of South Florida. She is currently a professor of American History at Hillsborough Community College.
In 2001 while at school in Gainesville, Jennifer realized there was something missing from her life. It was the realization that she had been neglecting her spiritual life. She began attending Mass at Queen of Peace Catholic Church and became a member of the parish through the RCIA program. In 2010 Jennifer felt very drawn to Benedictine spirituality and its emphasis on finding balance between work and prayer. She is grateful to the Sisters "as their support during my discernment process has been invaluable."
Barbara Molloy has been with us as a live-in volunteer and oblate for over twelve years. She is a devoted Catholic who practices her faith with dedication and is happy that she can attend Mass every morning at the monastery. Barbara has six grown children and eighteen grandchildren! She worked in sales with her beloved husband until his passing. In trying to decide what her next steps would be, Barbara saw an advertisement in her parish bulletin that the Benedictine Sisters of Florida were starting a Live-in Volunteer Program. Well…the rest is history…she brings so much to the Sisters and the lives of those who visit us.
BIRTHDAYS and FEAST DAYS
The Catholic Church assigns a date out of the year for each and every canonized saint – usually on the day of their death or birth. The saints are remembered on their individual feast days with special mention, prayers and possibly a scripture reading. A Benedictine Sister chooses a saint and she then celebrates their feast day.

Micah's Behaviour was Unparliamentarian'
People's Progress Party leader Ben Micah "unparliamentary" conduct last Friday forced acting speaker John Simon to suspend Parliament for 10 minutes.
Mr Micah had refused to sit down when asked to do so by the chair during question time when asking questions on Defence matters, including the controversial purchase of Manumanu land in Central Province.
His questions were also about relationship by marriage between Defence Minister Fabian Pok and Defence secretary Vali Asi and the sacking of several senior civilian officers by Mr Asi at the Defence Department at Murray Barracks.
The acting speaker had disallowed Micah from asking questions which Dr Pok and Public Enterprises and State Investments Minister William Duma had already answered during the week.
Mr Micah however insisted that he would ask his questions directed at Prime Minister Peter O'Neill, ignoring repeated calls by the acting speaker to sit down or he would be physically removed from the Chamber by the serjeant-at-arms.
"Come and throw me out. Get your guards and throw me out," the Kavieng MP challenged the acting Speaker.
Rising from his chair Simon pointed at Micah and announced: "Sergeant-at-arms, remove him from the chamber as he has no respect for the chair."
A defiant Micah would not listen, even the guards talked to him which led to the acting speaker suspending parliament and walking out of the Chamber.
Sinssina-Yongomugl MP Kerenga Kua who was heard supporting Mr Micah saying words to the effect that Parliament should close for good.
After the suspension Member for Goroka Biri Kimisopa approached Mr Micah and Mr Kua and told them to go apologise to the Chair.
As he took the Chair again, Simon said he made it clear earlier in the week that MPs must observe House rules and not to use the word such as "kam rausim mi" (come and remove me) because it was disrespectful to the chair and the house.
Micah apologised and was then asked to continue with his questions.

President's Corner: By Norris McDonald
Congresswoman Johnson met us for Breakfast at 7 a.m. at the Grand Cafe at the Grand Hyatt hotel. She got to know each panelist a little by participating in engaging conversation. This was the first conference for some of the panelists and one would have thought that it was the congresswoman's too based on her enthusiam. The buffet breakfast was excellent too. And to top this off she provided exquisite chaffeured transportation for the panelists to the convention center. She made us feel like stars.
The theme of the Science and Technology Braintrust was "Today's Technology for Tomorrow's Environment." Congresswoman's Bernice Johnson's statement:
Thank you for attending the 2008 Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's Science and Technology Braintrust. As a senior member on the House Committee on Science & Technology, I am dedicated to diversifying our domestic workforce in fields such as science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
Exchanging ideas and engaging in a dialogue is essential in recruiting and developing our next generation of STEM professionals. During this year's S&T Braintrust we will examine the next generation of environmental technology.
It is my hope that today's discussion will inspire our next generation of scientists to pursue careers in the STEM fields.Your participation is key for a successful Braintrust. I believe that today's discussions will spark imaginations and leave each of us with a new viewpoint.
The panelists included (in order of presentation):
Sheryl Lee Ralph, Actress and education advocate
Norris McDonald, President, African American Environmentalist Association
Miquela Craytor, Executive Director, Sustainable South Bronx
Miranda Anderson, Director of Corporate Affairs for Sustainability, Wal-Mart
Bob Langert, V.P. of Corporate Social Responsibility, McDonald's
Curtis Etherly, V.P. of Public Affairs, Coca-Cola
Congresswoman Johnson recruited about 40 high school students to attend the forum.
They were bright eyed, enthusiastic and asked interesting questions. Sheryl Lee Ralph provided an inspirational message to them and they responded accordingly. They rushed the stage after the presentation to meet her. She was very accomdating and patiently engaged each and every student who approached her. It is also interesting that Ms. Ralph costarred in "The Distinguished Gentleman" with actor Eddie Murphy, which was based in Washington, D.C. with Mr. Murphy playing a congressman.
The forum was well attended with a standing room only packed house. After the forum, the congresswoman's militarily efficient staff herded us back to our transportation at the front of the convention center and we were wisked to The Willard Hotel for a fabulous lunch sponsored by Texas Instruments and a presentation on, "Dropouts, Diplomas, and Dollars-U.S. High Schools and the Nation's Economy," by former West Virginia Governor Bob Wise.
All-in-all it was a wonderful event. I attended my first CBC conference in 1979 and I organized the first Energy Braintrust for the late Congressman Mickey Leland. But this was far and away the best event I have ever participated in at a CBC conference. Thank you Congresswoman Johnson.
I am pictured with Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson, top, and actress Sheryl Lee Ralph, bottom.

Spain | Propet and IberzooBack
Spain's leading trade fair
Propet and Iberzoo have merged to create Spain's leading trade fair for the pet sector, organised by IFEMA. The first edition of the trade fair resulting from this merger, which has been named Iberzoo + ProPet, will take place in Madrid from 16 to 18 March 2017. The trade fairs have been merged to satisfy a historical demand that will benefit the sector as a whole. The single, annual event created will bring together all players involved in the sector, such as manufacturers, distributors, importers, specialist retailers, veterinarians and clinic staff, animal trainers, dog groomers, manufacturers, distributors, laboratories and all types of companies that work with this professional sector from Spain, Portugal and the main foreign markets. It will also provide more opportunities for business and training and will raise the profile of the industry.
All this will make the fair Spain's leading business platform for the pet product sector and will boost business prospects and brand projection for all participating companies. More than 200 direct exhibitors are expected to take part and to welcome the 17 000 professionals from 30 countries that will attend.
Iberzoo + ProPet, organised by IFEMA, has been made possible thanks to the drive, support and collaboration of the two associations that have traditionally been behind each of these trade fairs: the Spanish Association of Pet Product Distributors (AEDPAC) and the Madrid Association of Pet Veterinarians (AMVAC), respectively. In picture (from left) Lluc Ferrer, president of AEDPAC, Eduardo López-Puertas, general manager of IFEMA, José Ramón Escribano, president of AMVAC, and Lola González, manager of Iberzoo + ProPet/IFEMA. www.iberzoopropet.ifema.es

Hartford Financial Services Co. plans to increase life insurance sales by focusing on developing its presence with independent financial advisors.
Historically, the Hartford, Conn., company has developed the majority of its life insurance business through "mega-banks," said Brian D. Murphy, an executive vice president in its individual life division, but sales through these companies has declined in the past couple of years.
"In the life insurance space, sales through financial institutions really only account for about 10%," he said. "The independent space is really the blue ocean. We want to enter that blue ocean."
On a commissionable weighted premium basis, Hartford's individual life division's sales declined 26.4% to $201 million last year. That said, Murphy believes his new strategy will produce double-digit growth this year and for years to come, and anticipates that Hartford will succeed in its goal of becoming one of the top five individual policy carriers.
"We got double whipped last year," he said. "The life insurance business was hit hard and the financial institutions suffered. We needed to change our focus."
Murphy said the company also plans to increase sales through regional banks. To keep up with these initiatives, Hartford plans to increase its wholesaling force 10% to 15% annually over the next three to five years. Currently, it has 200 wholesalers located in 20 offices nationally.
"Most competitors sell their products to independent advisors through third-party aggregators," he said. "Our strategy now is to take our products directly to advisors. … We don't want to be commoditized. We think we can stand out by going directly to advisors."
The new strategy is already paying dividends. Murphy said initially he hoped to sign up 200 advisors by June and 400 by the end of the year, but the company added 140 in January alone.
Analysts said that Hartford will still face competition from life insurance providers that are well-established with independent advisors, including Pacific Life Insurance Co.
Burton Greenwald of BJ Greenwald Associates in Philadelphia said that Hartford has lost traction with larger institutions and is forced to take this route. He said the company could face significant pitfalls with its new strategy, especially as its parent company continues to look to repay Tarp and emerge from government aid.
"Hartford has been going through a very challenging period and has faced a lot of issues surrounding its financial stability," he said. "A lot of large institutions have questions about Hartford's long-term stability."
Murphy said he is confident that Hartford can gain traction with independent advisors. He said it is focused on independent advisors with more than $1 million of life insurance production.
"Independent advisors typically have a much shorter shelf of providers than a large financial institution," he said. "We are talking about two to three core carriers. If we can get on the shelf, we are confident we can gather significant share of assets."

Niigata City has a super easy to use rent-a-cycle system that is definitely worth a try!
Regretfully, all of the information about this system can only be found in Japanese here (until this post! ) so I will try to explain the system in such a way that it makes sense but you will need at least basic Japanese- better yet bring a friend who can speak/read Japanese if you can't (useful Japanese phrases can be found throughout this post)

LendingClub, the online loan platform looking to restore investor confidence, is in talks with Citigroup to arrange more funding for the debts it arranges, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.
Citigroup may buy loans or provide financing for others to do so, according to the person, who asked not to be identified discussing the private negotiations. The Wall Street Journal reported the potential deal earlier on Thursday.
Buyers of LendingClub's loans pulled back after the surprise resignation of the company's founder and chief executive officer, Renaud Laplanche, this month. An internal LendingClub review found some debts were misdated and that Laplanche, 45, failed to properly disclose an investment. The company has been working with Jefferies Group to line up more purchasers for the loans since then, a person familiar with the matter said last week.
"We are productively engaged with LendingClub on a number of fronts," a spokeswoman for Citigroup said in an e-mailed statement, while declining to comment on any arrangement or terms.
LendingClub has slid 38 percent in New York trading since its leadership shakeup, closing at $4.37 on Thursday.

Our Mission
And whether you know it or not,
you are too.
The world is changing fast. In such an environment it's natural to be cautious, and to seek the safety of the status quo. The problem for marketers is that you can't stay where you are, because if today's brands aren't moving ahead, they're getting left behind. The only way forward is…forward. But which way is that, and how do you get there?
Answering that question means thinking hard about where you are, where you want to go, and why. It means knowing where others have gone, what's worked and what hasn't, and what's changed in the interim. It means understanding the big picture and your place in it, and why that matters. In short, it means understanding your brand's story. Because when that story comes into focus, you and your business have the motivation and the courage to act meaningfully.
Discovering your story and helping you tell it, in words, images and actions, is our mission. It's why we've interviewed over 250 marketing executives and shared their stories on AdAge, Social Media Today, Social Media Explorer, in our CEO's book, The CMO's Periodic Table: A Renegade's Guide to Marketing and on our podcast,Renegade Thinkers Unite. The lessons we've learned from these individuals inform what we do every day for our clients, and help us to help them find their way, courageously and purposefully.
The fundamental idea that rallies employees, inspires customers, and transforms inaction into action. Your brand story lets you take an active role in addressing your audience's cares and concerns, no matter the market. For brands that haven't yet found their story, we help them discover it, making sure it's meaningful in a way that they can own, with an emotional core that goes beyond product/service features.
Because creativity knows no bounds, there are countless ways to tell your story. Our idea of content, and storytelling, goes beyond mere words to include virtually anything that deepens and enriches your audience's understanding of the brand's role and purpose. Our content is crafted to ensure sure the components build upon each other like chapters in your favorite book.
Content works best when it starts a conversation, and that's why social plays a big part in what we do. For Renegade's clients, social media plays multiple roles, from market intelligence to product feedback, news dissemination to employee recruiting, and lead generation to social selling. Throughout, your story will cut through regardless of the context, channel, or day of the year. And just to make sure, paid social media is a mandatory part of our approach.

Vitaliano Donati
Vitaliano Donati (8 September 1717 – 26 February 1762), born in Padua in Italy, was an Italian doctor, archeologist, and botanist. He took the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in 1739.
He was interested in the flora and fauna of the Adriatic, and in 1745 he published Della storia naturale marina dell'Adriatico. This work was translated into many European languages.
In 1750 Charles Emmanuel III, king of Sardinia, offered him a chair of Botany and Natural history at the University of Turin. During his career as a professor, he also occupied the chair of Mineralogy and Geology. He occupied the chair of Orto Botanico dell'Università di Torino from 1750 until his death.
In 1757, Donati was elected a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and a Fellow of the Royal Society.[1]
In 1759 he visited Egypt, Syria, Palestine, Arabia. He died on 26 February 1762 in the Indian Ocean, travelling on a Turkish ship to Mangalore in India.
The Italian city of Torino has entitled a street to Vitaliano Donati.

Our couchsurfing host said the rides are expensive and people complain about the cost of the rides, 2 pesos up to 6 pesos per ride. I calculated conversation rates and found an average 3 peso ride was 22 cents.
In Neuva York, New York City, one ride is $2.75, which is currently roughly 38 pesos.
As always, be aware of who is around you, keep your phone stashed when appropriate, wear your backpack on your front, if you put it down have a leg through a strap. With that awareness, I felt generally safe on every ride.
The cars and stations do get crowded, especially during rush hour.
There are people selling and begging, standard fare on subways, musicians playing in some byways. There are people vending products by donation, suchas a young lady who would place hair ribbons on seated female passenger's laps, and then return before the next stop to collect any donations. One little girl was so excited she wanted her dad to give a hundred pesos, but he gave 10, probably more than he would have. Everything from flashlights to scissors to socks and treats will be placed on your seated leg for them to return and pick up or get cash.
Art and ads. The last one is from a brand new station that opened a few days ago. We rode on it before our host had a chance to.
There are some extensive shanty towns visible from the above ground train that travels a longer distance. This non-permitted multistory housings are made of brick and morter, some are other materials, painted or stucco. The city tolerates them, partly out of not knowing what to do about it, and that it's been there over 10 years so it's become a human rights issue, so now they would look like the bad guys if they did anything about it.

How to Help
The team at ESGAO are volunteers who love Greyhounds, and enjoy each others company. We started this group to focus on the dogs, and concentrate on finding the best match for the dog and the family. We do this without pay, and in our spare time. These dogs have spent the first part of their lives part of the Greyhound racing industry, and now they need a loving home to be a dog.
How our dogs are prepared for life in their new homes
Our dogs are fostered in our members homes to teach these newbies how to act in a home setting. We teach them how to go up and down stairs, what glass doors and windows are, how to walk on a leash. We document how they react to noises, small dogs, cats, other male dogs, other female dogs, etc... We then can give the new adopters a sense of how the greyhounds acts, their traits and their manners.

The Maid and the Cook
Cutthroats and thieves ply their nefarious trade aboard The Devil's Luck, slashing a path of piracy and swearing back and forth across the Atlantic. On a ship packed hull to hull with scoundrels, romance blossoms about as often as dead men tell tales.Brigit O'Creagh knows her place. A complexion riddled with scars wards off desirable men. An eager father hires her out as a lady's maid for a purse full of silver—without consulting her, of course. Her new widow employer makes icebergs look downright tropical. The maid from Cork expects very little from life, and that's usually just what she gets.John Bone spends his days working to feed the ravenous crew of The Devil's Luck. An accident seven years past cost him part of a leg but earned him a promotion to Cook. His memories of brawling and boarding collect dust right along with his days of pining for gentler company. And what woman would want him now? He wasn't even a whole man.But now, with a young woman's easy laugh filling his galley, John finds dormant desires waking up, tempting him to make a fool of himself. Brigit, however, struggles to believe the sincerity behind his pretty words and kind gestures. She knows what she looks like and men never bother wasting that sort of talk on the likes of her.Most grand romances overflow with silken skin and chiseled jawlines, but Eris Adderly takes you below decks to mingle with a rougher crowd. Bawdy songs color the air, dangerous wagers change hands, and love may not be totally blind, but it definitely wears an eye patch.This lusty pirate romance novella is a spin-off from the events of The Devil's Luck. But fear not! The Maid and the Cook stands on its own—you can enjoy all the salt and scallywags without feeling like you're missing part of the plot.
What Readers Are Saying:
"I love this story! Eris Adderly's writing is always top-notch, but the thing that stood out for me in this story was the story theme – love isn't just for the pretty people. Bridget is pock-marked and plain, John is missing a leg. These two people don't think that love is for them, but love finds them, nonetheless. The book was sweet and steamy, and an excellent, page-turning read!"
"I loved this story! Real people in a fantasy world, not the fairy tale couple but the couple that you might have overlooked without Eris Adderly's expert writing to bring them to vibrant life. Every scene is ripe with development which makes a rather quick read full of spirit! John Bone is the kind of guy you hope you'd run into at the local bar, and he can cook (win!) and Brigit is the girl you'd want to show up at that bar with. Real people who can definitely have some hot, sexy fun! Throw in some pirates, salty talk, and life on a ship? Who wouldn't want to live a while in this world?!"
"Ms. Adderly's writing is brilliant – she uses colorful, descriptive language that keeps to the period without fail, and creates intriguing characters that you come to root for right from the start. This story is romantic and realistic at the same time, and the juicy scenes serve to remind us all that imperfect people can have damn crazy hot sex just like the best of them! "
"Every word is so fitting in the context of the story, the time it's set in and as I'm reading it, I'm completely immersed on that pirate ship, in that galley."

During his life, he had two wives. The first, Rakhumabai, died of starvation during a severe famine. Tuka felt ashamed and embarrassed by his lack of ability to get enough food to save his wife's life. His second wife was younger than the first. Her name was Jijabai (also called Avali), and she constantly nagged Tukaram and complained about his inability to hold a job and properly support his family. She began to consider God her enemy, and made Tuka's home life miserable. He also had three sons, named Santu or Mahadev, Vithoba and Narayana. Narayana was considerably younger than Mahadev and Vithoba, and was a great bhakta like his father.
Despite these personal tragedies, he never lost the love towards Krishna. His songs were the spontaneous expression of devotion through singing and dancing of kirtans in honor of Krishna. However, Tukaram faced many problems in his own spiritual quest. Other than the personal tragedies, he was filled with frustration and doubt. One day, when he was prepared to commit suicide, he experienced the divine. From that moment on, his life changed. His philosophy was simple and effective 'Sit silently and repeat the name of the Lord. That alone is enough for realization.' He constantly emphasised that ethics and orthodox religion like the study of Vedas were just formalities and the real use of religion is in realization of the divine through Love.
He used to write a particular verse form called the abhanga, a run on couplet with three and a half feet with the first three rhyming. In the use of this poetic device he was unrivalled, and others have practically left it alone after him in tacit acknowledgment there is nothing more that can be done with it. He also used to add his signature Tuka Mhane or "Tuka Says" at the end of each verse.
Typical of the Varkari sampradaya where samaj seva (service to the community) and hari sankirtan (group worship through music) was the Way, Tukaram made it his call to work for group enlightenment rather than just for himself. In that sense he was very much a bodhisattva.

When the Microsoft Surface Tablets for Windows RT ship this fall, only a select few OEM Partners will be releasing Windows Tablets along side of Microsoft. According to the China Times, Windows RT devices will only initially be available from Asus, Lenovo, Samsung, and Toshiba. Chipset vendors NVIDIA, Texas Instruments, and Qualcomm were each allowed to work with at most two OEM partners for the launch. NVIDIA chose Asus and Lenovo, Texas Instruments chose Toshiba, and Qualcomm selected Samsung and HP. HP elected not to develop a Windows RT device. Instead, HP will develop only the Pro version of the Windows Tablet. Thus, Qualcomm may instead work with Dell to release a Windows RT Tablet at launch.
Windows RT Release Date and Price Details
The initial batch of Windows RT devices are all expected to go on sale together. However, only Asus and Samsung have officially announced that their devices will be ready to launch along side of the Microsoft Surface. Windows 8 Pro devices will not ship until 90 days later. I suspect that Microsoft wants only the cheaper version of the new Windows Tablets available during the holiday season.
Currently there is no official word on how much the Windows RT devices will cost. There were some reports that the Microsoft Surface price would start at $1,000. It turned out that this information was not based on anything from Microsoft. Microsoft has however suggested that pricing for Windows RT devices will be comparable to existing ARM devices. I estimate that these new Windows Tablets will price near iPads and higher end Android Tablets.
Windows RT OEM restriction concerns
One interesting thing to note- with Microsoft releasing its own hardware, many have suggested that this will put a strain on Microsoft's relationship with its OEM Partners. I don't suspect this will be the case. For one, the OEMs already have the experience and infrastructure to develop devices that should compete well with the new MS Surface hardware. Secondly, OEMs have few options outside of Microsoft. On the tablet front, OEMs could choose Android of course. Considering that the iPad outsells Android tablets 2 to 1, OEMs will likely not put all of their eggs in Android's basket. On the PC front, OEMs really don't have a second option to Windows. Linux is not yet ready for prime time and Mac OS is not an option (legally, anyway). Therefore, the OEMs will need to focus whatever frustration they may have into developing a compelling Windows Tablet device that everyone will want to buy.
