SelBench 1.1Edit
Installer: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/selenium-ide-selbench/
Provides utilities for testing, validating, and benchmarking Selenium IDE scripts. This is especially useful for instrumenting scripts that are used to test Selenium IDE extensions.
- Convenience functions: $w() and $d() are shorthand references to the window and document objects of the target webpage
- Commands:
alert, log, clearLog, deleteVars, expectError, emit, assertEmitted, resetEmitted, startTimer, timerElapsed
Examples of UseEdit
Object access:
assertEval|$d().title === $w().document.title
Simple logging and prompting:
alert|"hello world" log|"hello world" clearLog
Undefining Selenium variables:
Verifying that a command will fail as expected:
expectError|"n is not define" getEval|n
Tracking state and sequence,("$" + "{n}~" prevents Selenium variable substitution):
resetEmitted deleteVar|n emit|"${n}" store|0|n emit|n++ emit|"${n}" assertEmitted|"$" + "{n}~" + 0 + "~" + 1
Timing script execution:
startTimer timerElapsed
$w() and $d() can be used in expressions:
assertEval|$d().title === $w().document.title|true
Selenium ServerEdit
Sorry, this feature has a significant bug, and is not currently supported.
Selenese scripts that use SelBench commands can also be run in Selenium Server via the -user-extensions and -htmlSuite options. Get the current user-extensions.js here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/refactoror/SelBench/master/user-extensions.js
For more information on running Selenium Server, see: http://www.seleniumhq.org/docs/08_user_extensions.jsp#using-user-extensions-with-selenium-ide
Note that prior to version 1.1 SelBench has been a Firefox extension only, whereas Selenium Server can target a wide range of browsers. SelBench currently passes its full regression test suite when run against:
- firefox (31.4)
- googlechrome (40.0)
- opera (27.0)
Community help is welcome and encouraged in expanding this list. There are currently known issues with:
- iexplorer (11.0): Object.defineProperties fails - test-startup hangs
- safari (5.1.7): htmlTestRunner is not defined - test-startup hangs
When reporting an issue, be sure to provide very specific browser/OS info, as well as the faling test case, test html, and error log. Better yet, if you can fix the problem, submit a github pull request -- which is how server support came about in the first place. A big thanks to Matthew Kastor for this contribution!
For an overview of how the SelBench user extension works, see: https://github.com/refactoror/SelBench/blob/master/notes/SeleniumServer-notes.txt
Function ReferenceEdit
|Shorthand reference to the browser window object.
|Shorthand reference to the browser document object.
Command ReferenceEdit
|Write the evaluated JavaScript expression to the IDE log.
|Clear the IDE log window.
|Remove the named Selenium variable(s).
|regular-expression or substring
|Verify that the next command in the script fails with the specified error.
|Append the evaluated JavaScript expression to the current emitted state. A ~ is inserted between each append.
|Verify that the accumulated emit state matches the given value.
If an array of values is specified, then matches for a ~ between each element
|Clear the accumulated emitted state.
|Start a stopwatch-like timer.
|Report the current elapsed time as a log message.
The expectError command operates on the next command to be executed. But it cannot be used on:
- Commands that cannot fail, (e.g., startTimer, the SelBlocks exitTest command)
- Commands that themselves manage other commands, (e.g., itself, the SelBlocks try command)
Never use the ...AndWait counterpart of a SelBench command, e.g., logAndWait. (Selenium automatically registers one with every defined command, even though it does not always make sense.) If you use one of these, (usually via inadvertent auto-completion), SelBench will throw an error when you try to start the script in the IDE.
This is a bit more difficult to diagnose in Selenium Server, which cannot currently detect the situation, and therefore simply hangs without an error when such a command executes.
Selenium ServerEdit
Testsuite works in the IDE, but won't start in ServerEdit
- You haven't provided the SelBench user-extensions.js on the command line.
Test hangs at SelBench commandEdit
- You may have used the AndWait counterpart command. This is never valid because SelBench commands do not interact with webpages.
Revision HistoryEdit
- 2015-02-12: v1.1
- Added support for Selenium Server. (A big thanks to Matthew Kastor for this contribution)
- Added clearLog command.
- Added deleteVars command, (deprecated deleteVar).
- Fixed Issue #4 expectError fails on unexpected error
- Fixed Issue #5 expectError not clearing script error status
- 2013-03-07: v1.0
All versions: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/selenium-ide-selbench/versions/

|[jira] Commented: (DERBY-913) [WWD] Proposal to create and add Working With Derby, an activity-based tutorial document, to the Derby documentation set
|Tue, 07 Mar 2006 01:07:31 GMT
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-913?page=comments#action_12369119 ] Stan Bradbury commented on DERBY-913: ------------------------------------- Additional topics suggested by Ian Leslie to Derby-user on Feb 2, 2006 email archive URL: http://firstname.lastname@example.com%3e === Excerpt: Based on the next things I searched out information on I suggest the following additional modules: 1) A module showing a more complex example of inserting data. Introduce the notion of temporary tables and show how they can be used to hold simple data so that a more complex insert can be performed to populate a database. I am thinking here of something with a normalized set of tables and how to insert data such that the ids of one table join with another. As someone with little SQL or database experience, creating and populating the schema for my data was challenging (I have a friend who helped design a good schema - but I was thinking that more advanced database example would help us novices a lot). I had to fall back on my friend again for the SQL to perform the loading because the insert examples I read in the documentation were all very simple. 2) A module showing how to use update. I have discovered that each database uses update slightly differently. Some non trivial examples of update (perhaps with the more advanced database idea above) would be helpful. 3) A module showing how to produce and then connect to a read only database. Same thing in a .jar'ed database. The documentation has a good recipe at the moment but a step by step example to build on would be even better. I think the modules you have already will be very interesting I simply wanted to suggest you add a few more. > [WWD] Proposal to create and add Working With Derby, an activity-based tutorial document, to the Derby documentation set > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: DERBY-913 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-913 > Project: Derby > Type: Improvement > Components: Documentation > Versions: 10.2.0.0 > Reporter: Stan Bradbury > Assignee: Stan Bradbury > Attachments: WWDditaSrc0220.zip, WWDditaSrc0222.zip, WWDhtml0220.zip, WorkingWithDerbyV1.1.html, WorkingWithDerbyV10.html, workingwithderby0222.pdf > > I propose starting a new activity-based tutorial document for Derby. The proposed name is "Working With Derby" and I'd like to include it with the next release. The document would target new Derby users. Information would be presented that supports a series of activities designed to be performed after installation. These activities will guide beginners through the basics of using Derby. Attached is a proposal that further describes the initial topics as I see them. I would very much like feedback on all aspects of this proposal from the Derby communities. Please post all feedback to the derby-user maillist, include Working With Derby (WWD for short) in the subject line of all messages on this topic. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

Throughout your life, you will have ample opportunity to really do something special and stake your claim. Whether or not you decide to take advantage of the opportunities out there, is up to you. But if you want to start making something better for yourself, you should check out these home business tips and use them to build a solid career.
You will want to rent a post-office box for receiving any mail related to your home business. It is not safe to publish your address online, and you need to be careful. Having a PO box is a security measure and will prevent someone you don't know from coming to your home unannounced.
Begin putting away some funds now for retirement, even if you just began your home business. Saving for retirement is a habit that is hard to get into if you don't begin doing it as soon as possible. Even if you feel you could use those extra few dollars for some helpful, but unnecessary, supplies, put them instead into a retirement fund.
If you have or are about to start a home business, be sure to establish an accurate budget. Many people fail at running a home business because they underestimated the cost of materials that goes with making or selling their product. For the best financial help, consider hiring an accountant.
Unless you live alone, be considerate of the others in your household. Don't let your work take over common spaces or invade someone else's personal area. Don't treat your roommates or family like employees. Make your needs known, but remember that this space is a home first and an office second.
Making a better life for you and the people you love, should be a top priority of anyone out there. A home business can help you to do just that, but it isn't something you can do without any help at all. Make sure that you use this advice to help build your overall business plan. Here's to your continued success in business!Copyright 2016 , All rights Reserved.

Painted horses teach anatomy to vets

Watch the carbon clock ticking
Early this year I wrote about research showing that the Earth effectively has a carbon budget of one trillion tonnes. Emitting more than this will lead to a global temperature rise of 2°C, and we've already spent over half a trillion.
To illustrate our spending, Professor Myles Allen of Oxford University has created a ticking carbon clock, counting down to the release of the trillionth tonne. That's currently set for some time in March 2045 but as our rate of emissions continues to rise, this date gets nearer by the second. It's sobering to watch.

Fluency Work
As a part of their reading development, the students are expected to read with fluency and expression. A great way to help them practice "reading like they talk" is by using a recording software that allows them to hear themselves. At the school we use a recording software program, Audacity. Our class frequently practices reading our weekly poems into the program with a goal of becoming better with each reading. Because they get immediate feedback, the students become extremely engaged in the activity and even the most reluctant readers love to be the star of their own reading show. One of the best features about Audacity is that it is completely free to download and your child can begin immediately using it in conjunction with your computer's microphone.

Read with Roy
If you are looking for more strategies to help your child learn to read and write, visit Guided Reading and Reading Games with Roy the Zebra. The website is based on stories about Roy the Singing Zebra. This fun site offers progressive, animated stories along with matching discussion cards, worksheets, and games. The discussion cards are a great way to help your child think about what the story means in order to move beyond literal retells of the story. The games span a wide variety of topics that help in reading and writing including focuses on capital letters, punctuation, vowel sounds, blends, and rhyming words.

The Napping House
This week we read The Napping House by Audrey Wood to learn more about cause and effect. We learned that cause is why something happened and that effect is what happened. After reading the book through, the class made a Multi-Flow Map to retell the key events and discussed how each event caused another event to happen. The students then chose their favorite cause and effect from the story to write and illustrate about. Below are a few examples of their quality work:

Johnny Appleseed
This week in Social Studies we read and studied about several American historical figures. One of our historical figures was the legendary Johnny Appleseed. As a part of their study, the students created their own apple tree graphic organizers. Each student wrote at least one fact about John Chapman, aka Johnny Appleseed, on each apple.

U.S. and Texas Symbols
In Social Studies we are learning more about symbols and mottoes of both The United States and Texas. A great site for you child to visit is Ben's Guide to the U.S. Government for Kids. The site is full of information that the students will love including American symbols and songs. Although the site is intended and designed for students in Kindergarten through Second Grade, you may need to help your child read portions of the website. To learn more about Texas, we read L is for Lonestar: A Texas Alphabet by Carol Crane. The students then made diagrams of several of the symbols. For more information on Texas symbols, visit the State Symbols page to see actual pictures of the symbols.

The Mitten
Last week we read The Mitten by Jan Brett to practice retelling a story. After reading the story several times, we worked as a class to create a Multi-Flow map of the story's main events. The students then worked in partners to create their own mittens. On their mittens, they wrote one key event from the story which we then pieced together in order.

Play the Game: Place Value
As we continue our study of larger numbers, we have been playing many math games to help us practice comparing the numbers. One of the class favorites is a game in which the students roll two dice and then decide what is the greatest possible number. They then build the number using Base Ten Blocks. Once each player has rolled and built their number, they compare them to see who had the greatest number. To practice building larger numbers at home in the Base Ten Block format, you can use items such as toothpicks, straws, pretzel sticks, or pencils as the "tens" and items such as buttons, pennies, or marshmallows as the "ones." To see a glimpse of the game in action, enjoy the short slideshow of pictures below:

Interactive Hundreds Chart
In our class we use a hundreds chart for many different math skills. Today we used an interactive hundreds chart that you can also use at home. We practiced skip counting by coloring in the patterns of counting by 2's, 5's, and 10's. We also created designs by identifying place value numbers. For example, if we heard 2 tens and 5 ones, we colored in the number 25. We also created our own designs that we will write clues for to be added to our math tubs. You will be surprised what your child will do with this chart!

Doubles Facts
A strategy to help children learn their math facts at home is to help them learn the Doubles Addition Facts (1+1=2, 2+2=4, etc.) as well as their related subtraction facts. For example, if I know 4+4=8, then 8-4=4. We have previously learned the Double Facts in class and are now working on Doubles Plus 1 and Doubles Minus 1. For extra practice at home visit the interactive flascards pages Doubles Addition, Doubles Subtraction, Doubles Plus 1, and Doubles Minus 1.

Spin and Spell
Are you looking for a way to help your child with spelling? In addition to practicing our weekly word wall at phoincs words at SpellingCity, you can visit Spin and Spell to help your child learn common, everyday words. Through this interactive website, your child will choose one of five categories: In and Around the Home, What We Wear, What We Eat, How We Get There, and The Animal Kingdom. Each category has numerous pictures to choose from. Once your child chooses a picture, they choose the correct letters to spell the word. The game is great because it allows the students chances to correct any misspellings and the students have the choice of having the word spelled for them.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
As a reminder, school will not be in session on Monday, January 18th, in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. This week we have been reading various books about Martin Luther King, Jr. and his contributions to society. In particular, we have been focusing on the character trait of fairness. Through art and writing, the students are expressing their "dreams" for the future. Here are a few of the students' "dreams":
- to go to the moon
- to plant trees and flowers over the entire world
- to give people love
- to help children get food
- to give everyone clothes
- to treat everyone the same no matter what

Shark Numbers: Place Value
During the third six weeks we have been working on furthering our number sense and Place Value through the use of Base Ten Blocks. Students have been building numbers with various objects, including the Base Ten Blocks, drawing reprentations of the numbers with sticks (ten longs) and dots (one units), and comparing numbers. In comparing numbers, students have been taught to look at the tens place first. Whichever number has the largest number in the tens place has to be the greatest number. If the numbers in the tens place are the same, then the students compare the ones place to see which is the greatest. To help your child identify numbers based on the Base Ten Block system, visit the Shark Pool Place Value game to have them identify the represented number. During the upcoming six weeks, we will be looking at numbers to 99.

Art in Motion
This week in math we have been identifying and exploring 3D shapes. In science we have been experimenting with motion. So, today we combined both in an art project. The students rolled spheres, or ping pong balls, covered in paint across their paper to make various designs. As the students worked, we discussed the attributes of various shapes and if they will roll, slide, or do both. The students are currently reflecting on their learning through writing. Enjoy a quick slideshow video of the students experimenting with shapes and motion.

Money Matters
This six weeks we have been learning more about money; in paticular, we have been focusing on coins and their relationship to the penny. Students should be able to recognize a penny, nickel, dime, and quarter by sight and identify their value. As a part of the value, students are expected to know that a quarter is the same as twenty-five pennies, etc.
To help your children learn, we have been practicing the following poem in class:
Penny, penny, easily spent,
Copper brown and worth one cent.
Nickel, Nickel, thick and fat.
You're worth 5,
I know that.
Dime, dime, little and thin.
I remember, you're worth 10.
Quarter, quarter, big and bold.
You're worth 25 I am told!
In addition to helping your child with this fun poem, you can visit ABCTeach to print the coins for your child to practice with at home.

North Plains Oregon Professional Local Residential Gutter Cleaning Service
Gleaming the View Inc. has been helping the local residents of the North Plains and surrounding neighborhoods keep their gutters clean and clear for 15+ years (since 2000). We have many repeat customers who depend on us to help them keep their storm gutters free of obstructions and safely and professionally get the job done the first time.
Our unique Northwest environment and weather can have a tendency to clog the gutters more frequently than other areas of the country, and we know that it can get pretty bad sometimes pretty quickly in the stormy winter months. You might even have first hand experience with this especially if you are fortunate enough to live in or near trees that lose leaves or little branches of pine needles when the wind picks up. If you live in Washington county, you will have to get used to our unique winter storms eventually. But you won't have to worry about getting up and climbing the ladder in the cold stormy weather because you have us. We are used to the weather and just want to help you safely clear your gutters so that you can enjoy time inside with your family or where ever you have to be without worrying about the condition of your gutters.
It doesn't matter if you live off of Mountaindale road or Dairy Creek, or if you live up in the hills near Johnson, Dorland, or even Pumpkin Ridge, or even closer to town like Helvetia, Rock Creek and West Union neighborhoods we offer our signature gutter cleaning service to you like you are our family.
Make sure to give us a call or use our free estimate form if you have an emergency clogged gutter. We can usually clear a clogged gutter very quickly and free of charge.
Remember, we also live in this community so when you hire us for a job your local North Plains area community benefits because the money stays in the community and does not get funneled off to some big corporate bank account. Thank you for thinking of us first when you have an exterior cleaning need. Don't forget that we also offer our professional signature roof cleaning service along with taking care of your pressure washing needs and window cleaning as well. Call (503)647-5137 or use our convenient free estimate form.

On the CoachDaveTV YouTube account, Dave Daubenmire uploaded a video Monday where he went to Target to get an employee there to explain to him their new policy regarding bathrooms.
The Target employee explained the policy to him by saying, "The policy that headquarters sent down was whatever you identify yourself as is the restroom you are welcome in."
Daubenmire asked her what would prevent him from just walking into the women's restroom.
She replied, "The only thing they sent to us, honestly, what you identify yourself as per gender is where you can choose to go to the restroom. There's nothing from us that we can check… We don't have permission or anything to do that."
She then told Daubenmire that they are still waiting on "more information" on the new company-wide policy, but right now if he identified himself as a woman then he could go into the women's restroom right now.

Dylan Jonathan Evans (born April 2, 2007) is the youngest son of Gary and Jennifer and the younger brother of Michael and Sean.
At three years old, he was not potty trained, and would tell his father when he needed a change, and bring him the fresh diaper and wipes. Although initially excited about the big boy underwear, he fought wearing them and being potty trained. During Family Test Run, he sat on the potty and said that he didn't have to go, but then peed in his pants three minutes later.
During Teaching, he went to timeout due to his refusal to eat the dinner Gary made, which was full of fresh foods and vegetables. He whined that he did not like the food before he went to timeout, but after the timeout and actually trying the dinner, he liked it.
He was 3 years old when he appeared on Supernanny and is now 11 years old in 2018.

Achieving Online Success by Limiting Risk Factors
The internet has quickly become the primary source of business income for millions of companies worldwide.
A digital presence for your business opens up a multitude of possibilities and introduces you to a global audience, which in turn can contribute to your business's continued success. However, this introduction to a worldwide platform can make your business vulnerable to risks such as copyright and trademark infringement, security, and fraud issues. It is therefore vital that your business is legally protected against any potential issues.
Here, Rhys Ap Gwent a Commercial and Intellectual Property Solicitor at Greenaway Scott offers his top tips on ensuring the security of your business online.
Protect your intellectual property
Investing in an online start-up company is no small feat. Elements such as branding, research, development, and collateral can be expensive. As such, ensuring your intellectual property (IP) is protected from the start to avoid any infringement is essential.
Your unique idea is your business's selling point. Prior to registering your idea, it is important that you undertake sufficient market research of your own to ensure that you do not unintentionally breach another brand's IP.
Once you are satisfied that your idea/brand is unique you should ensure that any name, graphic, logo, unique edit or identifiable brand is protected by trademark or copyright through an application to the Intellectual Property Office. Registering your IP ensures that you alone can profit and enjoy any commercial benefits associated with your brand and puts you in a legally superior position should your IP ever be threatened. An application to register IP can be complex and we would advise you to seek legal assistance to guide you through the process.
Customer privacy and data collection
As an online business, you have a significant responsibility to maintain the privacy of customers who are entrusting you with their confidential data. Millions of people make online transactions every hour and do so with the reassurance of knowing their details are secure. Whether it's bank details, addresses, phone numbers or email addresses, online businesses must ensure the information that they keep is protected according to legislation.
Customers using your online services are offered legal protection under the Data Protection Act. As a business, you are obliged by law to keep your customers information secure, accurate and up to date. You should also ensure that you do not exceed the statutory time limit for holding onto data and ensure that any data held is made easily available to the customer concerned where necessary. The Data Protection Act states that where a customer is supplying information to your company, they have a right to know how that information will be used and whether it is being passed on to any third parties. Your customers should also be provided with the opportunity to review the information that you hold and be able to correct it if it becomes outdated or is incorrect.
If you collect personal information from anyone you are legally required to register with the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) and comply with the Data Protection Act.
Protecting your security
Ensuring your website is secure online is a given for any company operating through the internet.
However, the Official Department for Culture, Media and Sport revealed that approximately 46% of all UK registered businesses were affected by cyber-attacks in 2016. This amounts to almost half of all UK businesses which were hit by some form of online breach, almost double the figure reported for the previous year.
This clearly demonstrates the importance of effective online security measures in an increasingly digital marketplace.
Business owners can safeguard their website by ensuring that software updates are installed as soon as they become available. If the software update relates to a security issue, waiting to update it could leave your website vulnerable.
Introducing tougher admin criteria will also help to protect the business. Choose a strong password (made of letters, numbers and special characters) and username that a potential hacker could not guess. It's also important to ensure that all passwords are changed on a regular basis. Changing the default database prefix to something more difficult to access is also advisable.
Reducing the number of login attempts can also help to significantly slash the risk of any unwanted access.
Should you have any questions regarding protecting the IP of your business in a digital landscape, please contact our team on firstname.lastname@example.com or call us on 029 2009 5500 and speak to one of our experienced team members.

We've changed to working with more West Coast wrecking yards to provide an outlet for the public to find components no longer for sale in car parts stores
Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) May 21, 2015
Owners of vehicles in Clark County, NV will now be able to find most components for automobiles, vans, trucks and SUVs at the LocateCarParts.com website this year.

"We've changed to working with more West Coast wrecking yards to provide an outlet for the public to find components no longer for sale in car parts stores," said a LocateCarParts.com rep.
Apart from the sale prices that are offered for in stock inventory, purchasers will now have the option to include a warranty policy at no cost during checkout. Each policy that is activated is now honored by the Vegas salvage yards that supply the used automobile parts.
"The issuance of a certified warranty is our way of helping consumers to gauge the quality of what is now available to buy from our website," said the rep.
The Locate Car Parts company is expected to announce new partnerships with other junk yards in Nevada that are able to distribute used components. Yards in Reno and Carson City are already under contract and can be found while searching the parts locator tool on the website.

In contrast to adult asthmatic patients, studies on the role of serum periostin levels in schoolchildren with asthma are still conflictive, and very few studies have been performed in pre-schoolers. The aim of this study was to compare serum periostin levels in recurrent wheezer pre-schoolers according to their asthma predictive index (API) condition.Methods
We performed a case–control study enrolling pre-schoolers with recurrent wheezing episodes (>3 episodes confirmed by physician) presented at one paediatric clinic in Santiago, Chile. The population was divided according to stringent API criteria into positive or negative.Results
In a one-year period, 60 pre-schoolers were enrolled. After excluding 12 (due to not fulfilment of inclusion criteria or refusal of blood sample extraction), 48 remaining pre-schoolers (27 males, age range from 24 to 71 months) completed the study; 34 were API positive and 14 were API negative. There were no significant differences in demographics between groups. The level of serum periostin levels for pre-schoolers with positive API and negative API were (median 46.7 [25.5–83.1] and 67.5 [20.5–131.8], p=0.9, respectively). The area under the curve for the serum periostin levels for predict positive API was 0.5, 95% CI [0.29–0.70], p=0.9. No significant correlation between serum periostin levels and peripheral blood eosinophils was found.Conclusion
Serum periostin levels were no significantly different between wheezer pre-schoolers with positive and negative API. More studies are needed to confirm this finding.

At the same time, diversity is paramount. You do not just serve food, but you serve quality food which meets the criteria of your clientele.
Availability of raw materials
Being an urban center, it is surrounded by very agriculturally productive areas which act as a source of raw material for the food business. With this, it makes it easy and cheap to afford the food since the supplies override the demand. The competition also come in handy to help in the pricing.

Community Application Program to Promote Business Philanthropy
A community with the aim of promoting a common course requires an application to meet the global demand for the use of technology in accessing information. There is trust when dealing with communities rather than individuals. The software developer for such an application for the promotion of fundraising activities should be a one-stop shop with complete integration with payment systems and audiovisual content and must hire a front-end programmer outsourced. A visitor should click the close button of the application after completion of the task not because it is difficult to navigate around it. Stick to the point- raising funds. The home page must actually have the campaign button. In case a visitor needs more information, the main menu should be in a drop own list with a catchy word on the content. Use third–party integrations or value- added services.
What are some of the factors to consider when developing a community program for business philanthropy?
- Cybersecurity
How safe is your data from cybercrime? Ensure the programmer puts strong measures to prevent hacking through the system by sealing all the entry points for unauthorized access. If you have an online payment integrations assure your customers on the safety of personal information from their credit cards.
- Bandwidth
There is nothing disgusting as getting a cloud system with a low bandwidth that causes frequent system breakdowns; no one has the time to keep on checking on whether the site is up and running unless he is part of the management of the computer program. Subscribe to a higher bandwidth and upgrade according to the trend in the flow of traffic to the application.
- Easy Navigation
This is not a blog post where words play a key role in Search Engine Optimization. You are there to raise funds, take advantage of audiovisual plug-ins to give a practical look of the community projects.
- Comprehensive Information
In as much as you conserve information, you need to cater for visitors who need additional information on the objectives of the projects. Use them as backlinks to declutter the home page. The third party integrations are significant to transfer them to relevant sites and landing pages.
- Catchy Title
The title of the sub menus should be concise, short and clear. Let it communicate the message at a glance. The information on the sub menus should be factual and valid. If you are to use numerical figures, be honest and realistic in as much as you need to convince
- Business Data Management
The application must differentiate a donor and other stakeholders, if you give it a business perspective by incorporating marketing automation, it should automatically profile the data front the point of entry to enhance relevance in future communication.
A community application for fundraising activity must state their objectives, goal, and mission clearly so that a visitor has that in their fingertips from the point of entry, otherwise, the plugins and integrations might confuse it to be any other profit making company. In a case where marketing automation is involved, the landing pages and the lead pages might be misleading.
Business philathropy for real estates
The real estate is a capital-intensive industry. As a way of corporate social responsibility, some of the companies have taken upon themselves to provide housing for the less privileged. They put aside some amount of money from their profit to build low-cost housing for people living in the slums. Some of the management of the real estate business empathizes with these slum dwellers, especially in the third world countries. They do not imagine someone can live in a makeshift house yet they spend millions in building and construction of residential and commercial estates. Why not take some of the profits to mind the welfare of the less privileged.
The general look of the philanthropy may seem that they have a lot of money to waste but the bottom line is, yes, they make millions of dollars in profits but due to the exchange rates you will find that a small percentage of their income will change lives of millions of people. From a religious background, the saying goes. "a giving hand gets more" this religious philosophy is a plus to people living below the poverty line.
How will you know if a real estate company participates in this real course? Visit their website and find it in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for example. They have pictures and audiovisual content to prove their participation in extending a helping hand to save people from living in such deplorable conditions.
At one point, some nations make it a policy for foreign investors to use some percentage of their profits in donations, sponsorships, and partnerships. The real estates are not an exception. They may choose on whichever sector they would wish the money to be used depending on priority and immediate needs. You cannot build houses when there is drought or a natural disaster like earthquakes. Some of the projects are long term while others need immediate attention.
Business philanthropy is a win-win situation. As they reap profits, the locals benefit from employment opportunities, infrastructural development, scholarships, and partnerships among other donations.
Do you just decide to carry out a social responsibility program in a country? Of course, no. Each country has its own rules and regulations of funding. In most cases, you channel the funds through religious organizations, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), Civil Society organizations (CSOs), Community base organizations (CBOs) self-help groups among other institutions. You have to carry out your research o prove the effectiveness and efficiency of this entities since some of them are out to take advantage of the situation. In most cases, this is common among individuals for there is no proper channel of accountability and responsibility in the financial help.
It is not a must you offer financial support, you can also opt to offer the material donation. There is hunger, why not buy food products and use the local administration to donate to the needy. Business philanthropy comes in handy to improve the welfare of the less privileged in all spheres. Although researchers admit if you overdo it, it can create a habit of laziness which affects overall productivity of the population.

Motorcycle Rental Business In Texas And Vietnam Compared
Motorcycle riding has become very popular among the present generation. People have always enjoyed riding motorcycles. However, safety concerns stopped them from riding whenever they wanted. Today, bikes have advanced to a point where it is much safer for even beginners to ride bikes. As a result, more people are riding bikes today than ever before.
Some people, though, may still have apprehensions about riding bikes. Since it's something they've never tried before, they're wary about getting started. It's only natural that such people wouldn't buy a bike since they don't know if they would enjoy riding it. If you count yourself among such people, there are a few ways to get over your fear of riding a motorcycle and allay your apprehensions.
There's no reason to shy away from motorcycle riding. You should try it out once before coming to your conclusions. You don't need to own a motorcycle to know the experience of riding one. You can try out your friend's motorcycle or rent a motorcycle. There are a number of motorcycle rental businesses in places like Vietnam and Texas. These rental stores give you a bike to use for a few hours. During the period of time that you rent the bike, you can ride it as much as you want, anywhere you want. The rental stores only charge you for the amount of time that you rent the bike.
Renting a bike for a day or two is much easier and more economically sound than buying a bike. It can be argued that if you ride only occasionally, renting may be the better option, financially speaking. Rental businesses usually charge a standard rate for bikes. The amount they charge for renting a bike depends on how long you rent it for and the bike's model. Bikes with more powerful engines are usually more expensive and have higher maintenance costs associated with them. As a result, they're more expensive to rent.
Besides the pleasure of riding a bike, there are other reasons to rent one too. If you're visiting a place as a tourist, it can be hard to get from place to place. You could rely on public transport such as bikes or taxis but these aren't available in a number of places such as Texas. In such places, you'll need to rent either a car or a motorcycle to drive yourself around. Since a motorcycle is cheaper to rent and more fun to ride, it's the better option.
A motorcycle lets you be in the environment of a place more than a car. With a motorcycle, you ride out in the open, surrounded by the flora, fauna and structures of the place you're visiting. As a result, you're immersed in the place, making your trip more memorable. You don't get that in a car since you're closed off and isolated from the environment.
Even in places like Hanoi in Vietnam, where there are several options for public transport, renting a bike is preferable. With a rented bike you get to have total control over your journey and travel from place to place within the city. You don't have to wait in line for a bus or pay a cab driver every time you need to get from one place to another. These advantages make rent motorbike Hanoi desirable. Comparing the motorcycle rental businesses of Vietnam and Texas you'll find that while the bikes in Vietnam are cheaper to rent, they're not as powerful as the ones available in Texas.

Piracetam for Philanthropists
Running up and down to ensure a project has sponsors and donors requires a strong heart; to some extent, it is draining and tiresome. At the end of the day, a philanthropist is stressed if not anxious and nervous at all times because of the project's uncertainties. Another level of stress crops up when a stakeholder decides to misappropriate the hard-earned funds for selfish gains or rather when sponsors look at you as a conman than a genuine person. To avoid disappointments, he decides to use his own money compromising all the family budgets – family challenges come in again. What a hassle! At the end of the day, his brain is so worked up because of mental stress. A memory booster is of help to save the situation. Piracetam is the most common memory enhancer mostly used by the elderly.
What are the Benefits of Piracetam?
The supplement boosts a philanthropist's memory to use reasoning and logic to make timely decisions for the projects especially when it is faced with difficulties- the teething stage of a project. When he is under stress, the brain cells become less active, which slows down his cognitive thinking yet it could be at a crucial time when his opinion matters a lot in defining the success of the project. Piracetam activates the cells and produces stress-relieving hormones to reduce stress to manageable levels especially if you have the correct Piracetam dosage.
Prolonged stress leads to depression, constant consumption of the brain booster helps to reduce anxiety and stress and finally ensure a philanthropist does not go into a depression based on the nature of his work.
In children, it is administered in kids with mild autism for effective management of the disease as well as mild mental sickness caused by stress and depression. Some researchers also admit it can be used to treat some cognitive problems. Although they recommend use of the diet under a physician's watch and advise to prevent misuse, which can have detrimental side effects
What are the Side Effects of Piracetam?
Just like any other conventional medicine, prolonged and high doses have side effects that can even be fatal, it should have correct Piracetam dosage from the Doctors. When piracetam is taken in high doses, it puts pressure on the liver and other body organs. The effect of this is overworking of the kidneys and livers leading to kidney and liver failure. Other noted side effects include irritability, constant headaches, tiredness, and insomnia. This only comes when it is taken in high doses without doctor's prescription.
The main advantage of this supplement is that is works directly in the central nervous system making it not a stimulant or sedate. It is administered to the brain cells through ion routes to increase mental metabolism. Once it reaches the brain cells; the enhanced metabolism allows an increase in blood flow to other parts of the body; as well as increase flow of oxygen; as long as there is an increase in blood flow, the brain is activated to perform its functions normally. If a philanthropist had a hectic day, there is a booster to maintain the normal functioning of the brain.

Channel 4 News's reports on Conservative MP Zac Goldsmith's election campaign expenses did not treat the MP unfairly, Ofcom ruled today.
Goldsmith complained to the broadcast regulator about Channel 4 News's report on 15 July last year. Its investigation, produced in association with the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, looked at the MP's successful campaign for the Richmond Park and North Kingston constituency in London and raised questions about the expenses he had claimed.
Goldsmith appeared on the programme the following evening and had a heated exchange with presenter Jon Snow. The MP claimed that he had not been given a fair chance to respond to the allegations in the previous night's report. Snow said that that was a "complete travesty of the truth".
Channel 4 provided Ofcom with details of the email and telephone exchanges with Goldsmith and his agent. The broadcaster said he was told of the allegations well in advance and was given more than a fair opportunity to respond.
Channel 4 also said it did not accept that it had implied on air that Goldsmith had turned down an interview.
In a lengthy adjudication published this morning, Ofcom agreed with Channel 4. It ruled that Goldsmith was given "an appropriate and timely opportunity to respond to the allegations" and Channel 4 had fairly presented the response from his agent and from the Conservative party.
The regulator concluded that the programme did not imply that Goldsmith had chosen not to be interviewed by Channel 4.

Sophie Hériaud, who studied journalism at the University Institute of Technology (IUT) in Lannion, and her sister Mathilde, a business studies student, are at the initiative of the project Toi d'Europe, which is taking them on a journey across 21 European countries over an eight month period and will result in a 26 minute documentary video and web documentary. Their goal is to record the younger generation's feelings regarding Europe and its future. Sophie and Mathilde have created a website for the project where they regularly post videos, text and photos collected during their travels.
They have already carried out half their journey, having spent 13 days in 12 eastern European countries, and will continue their work in Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, before moving south to Spain, Portugal and Italy, and then on to Norway, Finland, Sweden and Denmark.
Sophie specialised in television journalism during her studies at the IUT in Lannion and in 2016 won the Le Monde HCR award (a competition co-organised by the French newspaper Le Monde and the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) which awards an article written by a student in their final year of journalism). Sophie wrote her article about refugees in Bremen, Germany, whilst spending a semester there on an Erasmus exchange programme.
The Hériaud sisters would like to cover all 28 European countries and have launched a crowdfunding campaign to help them achieve their goal, details of which can be found on the website.

Our film opens out at sea, a mood-setting piece of music accompanying the craftsmanship on screen. Lee Chandler (Casey Affleck) is seen laughing, participating in friendly banter and good spirited teasing with his nephew Patrick (then, played by Ben O'Brien) and brother Joe (Kyle Chandler). We first meet Lee as a happy man, a smile on his face and a leap with every step. The first thing this film makes clear is that Lee and Patrick have a good relationship, despite Patrick's humorous honesty towards preferring his dad, Joe. The film's first cut sees us jump ahead in time, Lee's personality almost unrecognisable in comparison to what came before. The grief begins.
Everybody deals with their emotions in different ways. Nobody's the same. We all have to find our own path to redemption, even if that redemption is never found. Lee's dealings with depression are more of an unconventional, but completely justified and well-realised way of accepting the tragedies in his life. When we initially catch up with Lee, before we see any of the flashbacks to earlier stages in his life, he's in a sort of perplexed state of being. It's motionless, aggravated and repetitive, living day in and day out with a similar routine and rarely any need to smile. Its not too long before we start to come to terms with just how broken he really is, an endless series of heartbreak bottled down inside of him.
This is a film compromised almost entirely of dialogue, but not in the way a stage play deals with it, or even in the way most dialogue-centric movies do either. It's all about the craft; the way Lonergan evokes a feeling inside that nothing on screen is deliberate. Countless moments throughout feel authentic and improvised, whether it's Lee slipping on a chunk of ice or his car keys slipping from his grip in a moment of pure rage and frustration. It doesn't sound like much on the page, but it's the little moments scattered throughout that just made this film all the better. They helped in crafting the bigger picture at hand.
What's on display here is subtle, moving and frustrating all at the same time, backed up with some serious heartbreak. There's a scene about halfway through that's so raw and full of emotion, punching me right in the gut until the tears started to flow. I cried in this film. Oh, and I cried and I cried and I cried. The thing about it is that it's never just one scene that put me to tears, although the flashback hit me way too hard, but instead the film is two hours and fifteen minutes of constant emotion. It hits you with its relentless sadness, bringing up all sorts of feelings you weren't expecting. It's far from a pleasant, happy go lucky film, its conclusion not at all what you're expecting, but it's brilliant in its evocative realism and dire understanding of the human condition.
Manchester By The Sea is a film willing to take the hard way to your heart, one of the more frustrating and depressing films of 2016, yet also one of the more real and brilliant ones too. It's a film that will have you crying, laughing, screaming and sitting uncomfortably all at the same time, stirring up all sorts of emotions you didn't think you had, but you welcome anyway.

My name is Brian Chikereuba Ahanotu, a graduate of Forestry and wildlife from the university of Maiduguri Borno state.
I was recruited to join the team at Traffina Foundation for Community Health Abuja (TFCH) on the 21st of January 2014 as an intern attached with the communications unit.
Upon resumption however after being briefed about my roles and responsibilities in the organisation and guiding rules and regulations, I was assigned to assist in the planning of the organisation's "One kit save 2" fund raising event which took place at the Sheraton hotels and towers Abuja. This singular responsibility turned out to be the most rewarding activity i engaged in.
I slowly and painstakingly learnt how to prepare and reply correspondences, take minutes and report the numerous meetings I was allowed to attend with the Director of Programs, learn how to communicate the mission and vision of the organization and most essentially the importance of time and personnel management in and outside the work place.
As an intern i was constantly tasked with producing my to-do list for the day, week and if need be month so as to track my accomplishments and lapses accordingly and to prepare weekly and monthly reports of my activities within the organisation to further hone my report writing skills.
To further improve my skills i was then assigned to a planning team headed by the Director of Programs herself which was then planning an Advocacy programme on sexual and reproductive health at the police barracks in Gwagwalada Abuja in collaboration with IPAS Nigeria. This further exposed me to financial management and planning, programme planning and reporting, creating and maintaining and effective channel of communication with diverse set of people.
I also had opportunity to talk about the current MNCH situation in Nigeria via a radio program. Honestly I was afraid at the beginning and never knew I could do such a wonderful presentation.
TFCH works with strong partners, and I got engaged with Youth for Peace Building & Dev in Africa. I represented the organization in a one week capacity building for young people on entrepreneurship in Lagos. I gained lots of knowledge on proposal writing. I wrote a proposal that was selected to be funded by UNOY on agriculture.
From the onset the Director always made it clear, that we should all see ourselves as team mates and colleagues, to enable us "constantly keep learning and developing our skills". I give credit to her for removing the "boss" status , as this helped me to learn more without pressure . This ideal she maintained even when i was issued my only query at the organisation for insubordination which she made sure i received and replied appropriately and constantly reminded me that i should learn how to respond to queries.
TFCH was a learning ground for me and has developed me with skill sets that i still apply even till today in different capacities. The platform and opportunity has helped me to remove fear of the unknown when approaching people, I now have a stronger self confidence in me as well.
I say a big thank you to TFCH and all the wonderful people who made my internship memorable.
Currently I am serving as a corps Member in Delta state, please keep reading TFCH blogs , give every support to ensure that TFCH vision and mission is achieved.

Laughing Ourselves To Hell With 4chan
When trolling becomes a lifestyle.
("Gonzo Notes" is published a few times per month. Previous issue: Life on the precipice.)
I was a teenage (and young adult) troll.
In my early 20s especially, I hung out on SomethingAwful, a website with a lively associated forum that would often target groups we perceived to be low hanging fruit (furries, goths, and so on) for online attacks.
Our viciousness never rose to the level of today's super-trolls, who send SWAT teams to their enemies' houses or wage ongoing campaigns that drive vulnerable people to suicide, but I can see how I took part in the early days of this trend, and I'm not proud of it.
Part of maturing for me has been recognizing that I can't eradicate this prankster side of myself, so I've instead learned to direct it against the corrupt systems that promote inequality and the powerful people who profit off modern day, extractive capitalism.
Pranking up, not punching down.
It's much the same impulse that helped birth the Anonymous hacktivist collective out of 4chan, a notorious hive of porn and villainy, when some of the most active members began "virtuously" trolling, first against the Church of Scientology for their crimes against the internet, and later against the global 1% in support of the Occupy movement.
4chan and its spinoffs continue to foment online culture, only now they are brewing up something far darker and more destructive from the same roots. Created out of a mixture of white supremacy, modern anti-feminism ("Men's Rights Activism") and the usual economic and cultural factors that give rise to fascism, these Pepe-the-Frog worshiping anime nazis would have you believe they've embraced the path of genocide just "for the lulz."
Take the "okay" hand signal, which this crew have recently, and semi-successfully redefined as a white power hand signal. If you spend any time communicating with them — and thanks to the hundreds of trolls appearing in my social media accounts since May Day, I've had little choice — you'll discover that the Pepe Set finds it hilarious that some folks now "believe" the hand signal to be racist.
Their prank goes something like this:
- Act really racist.
- Use the OK signal while being really racist.
- Laugh when people decide the OK signal is a sign of being a racist.
Because the Pepe Set are obsessed with "triggering" people (which to them just means forcing someone to feel emotions), they've equated any kind of feeling with weakness. Being disgusted with their behavior means they are "winning" by successfully trolling us.
Ignoring them is not enough. The worst of them are in the streets now, proudly chanting "Free Helicopter Rides" and holding signs with their favorite frog idol. One of the most notorious in Texas, William Fears, brandished a knife against activists in Houston. Now he and a whole set of froggy wastes of oxygen travel about Texas disrupting events, teaming up freely with Confederate-flag waving white supremacists and armed "Open Carry" douchebags.
Whether they're violently assaulting activists or working to get left-leaning academics fired, these people are real and dangerous, and the harm they do is no joke, no matter how much they laugh at your pain.
With no futures and no hope of finding meaningful careers under late stage capitalism, a disturbing number of young people got radicalized in the electronic void, and would help the rich and powerful steer us right into the abyss, all the while sharing clever frog memes and funny one-liners.
They're geeks that took to the internet, then realized they could team up to become the bullies that had tormented them in school. No matter how much they beat their chest and yell about Sharia law, it's these young white men (and the Pepe-loving women, too) that scare me the most, that I'm most worried will hurt me and my friends.
And all the while they'll be giggling and gaslighting, telling us it's our fault for making them nazis, because we called them nazis. If we let them, they'll kill us all with circular logic and their fists.
I look around me, and I don't see enough people fighting back. They've bought the lie that it's all a joke, just "free speech," however poor and unfunny. They don't realize these words lead to broken bones and charnel houses.
I'm not going to take it sitting down. I won't bend my knee to their joking genocide.
But without you at my side, I'll be crushed. Unless we all stand up to these jocular brownshirts and their allies, the future is grim indeed.
