Nancy Jill Thames, Author (with Romeo)
I'm just an ordinary homemaker with a vivid imagination who has a tremendous belief in the power of positive thinking. I've also been a Believer since the age of eight and feel it's the sole reason for the blessed life I lead. My degree is in music from The University of Texas at Austin and I actually use it playing the piano for my church. I'm married to a wonderful man who has pampered me for almost 44 years. He takes me with him on business trips so I'm able to enjoy staying in lovely resorts. We've raised four children and have six lovely grandchildren. My friends call me the "Queen of Afternoon Tea"because I love serving it to people.
How long have you been an author?I've actually only been an author for less than two years now.
You've accomplished quite a bit in two years! What is your latest release?
I launched my fourth book"The Mark of Eden" in October, 2011.
What genre? Is it part of a series?
I only write mysteries, so far. Yes, it is part of "The Jillian Bradley Mystery Series." Book 5 "Pacific Beach" will be launched very soon.Wow!You've been busy! Is writing your primary focus or do you divide your time between your work as an author and another career?
Wow! You've been busy! Is writing your primary focus or do you divide your time between your work as an author and another career?
Writing is my primary focus but as an indie author, I divide my time between writing and promoting.
I know how difficult that can be. With so much on your plate, how do you find time for yourself? What do you do to relax?
I put myself on a to-do-list. I take time on Sunday to worship and rest. But I still go to choir practice at 4:30 pm so Sunday is still a busy day. My husband and I watch a movie after dinner every night and play Rummikub for breaks during the day.
It seems to be working for you. When you do buckle down to write, do you follow a set writing schedule or do you just write when you feel inspired?
I usually get all my chores finished before I start working, or at least on a list. I write for 45 minutes and then take a break, doing a chore or moving about. I also take time to blink my eyes so they don't dry out staring at the computer screen for so long.
The call to write comes at odd times. It's nice to know I'm not the only one with pen in hand in the wee hours of the morning. Aside from occasional bouts of sleep deprivation, I've found my fellow writers to be a wonderfully supportive group. Do you agree?
Absolutely! Occasionally I become discouraged, but when I think of all my author friends who are experiencing the same feelings, I snap out of the mood right away. It's great motivation.
Feeling that you are not alone as a writer makes all the difference. I believe it is so important that we support one another. Is there anything you do that would be considered'paying it forward' to help other authors?
I do author interviews once a week calling them 'Celebrity Authors' for encouragement. I feel the interviews help promote their work. I also contribute to my writers group whenever I'm asked to share my publishing experience.
Those are terrific gestures of support that I know are appreciated. I was honored when you interviewed me. It is particularly important that we nurture fledgling authors. Do you have any advice for novices? Is there a 'how to' writing book you feel is a 'must have' for every writer? Any memberships or courses/workshops you recommend?
I would suggest beginning with some front money to pay for copy editing. Besides a good story, paying readers deserve error-free books. Find a copy editor you can afford and one who likes your genre. Everything else in this business can be learned.
There are so many good 'how to' books out there that I wouldn't know where to begin. Since I believe authors should have their own writing style, I think I like Stephen King's approach best: Just write how you talk and then hire someone to do the editing. As for myself, I checked out a book at the library entitled "How to Write a Damn Good Mystery" by James N. Frey. I had only written 12 chapters of my first novel and had no idea where it was going, but after reading his book, I was able to figure out what to do in order to finish it.
The only courses and workshops I've attended were for my writer's guild. The workshops were very hands on and I learned a great deal. Some were from guild members and others were from local authors.
My first editor, a personal friend of mine from church by the name of Donna Montgomery, told me she might have skimmed parts of the manuscript because she got so caught up in the story that she couldn't put it down. She told me I had the makings of a successful author, and this was coming from an editor of all types of genres with over 30 years of experience. She instilled belief in me, and I reach back when I'm discouraged and remember what she said.
My books are available in Kindle and paperback from Amazon.com. The links are on the slideshow at: http://www.nancy-jill.blogspot.com. You can get to my "Queen of Afternoon Tea" Blog from the site or go directly to http://www.nancyjillthames.wordpress.com.
I believe it's always a good idea to look back at where you've been to see how far you've come. Looking to the future, I plan to write at least three more books in the series before I am finished. "Waiting for Santa," is due out October 2012 and "The Ruby of Siam," is due out April 2013. The eighth book is still in the early stages.
I can't wait to read your series. Readers, check below for links to all of Nancy Jill's mysteries and be on the look-out for "Waiting for Santa" and "The Ruby of Siam". Nancy Jill, Thank you so much for stopping in today.
Scarlett, I want to thank you again for the interview. It's been a pleasure!

Winning customer loyalty has to be about so much more than simply collecting and redeeming points.
Cincinnati, OH (PRWEB) December 01, 2015
In the new age of personalized mobile communications, enhanced digital online customer engagement, and a near infinite level of product selections, brands simply must do more to win the loyalty of consumers. The days of only offering a basic loyalty program that allows members to earn and burn points to achieve this goal are over. According to a 2015 Maritz LoyaltyNext® consumer study, almost 25% of respondents couldn't even remember the last reward item that they redeemed.
Too many bland and one-size-fits-all approaches have, as a whole, left customers increasingly dissatisfied. And rewards that don't excite or provide any motivation for member attention will continue to fall short.
The key is to increase engagement by introducing memorable "moments that matter" into a program's reward strategy, and one answer to bring "experiences" into the mix. Experiential rewards, and travel rewards in particular, are emerging as a powerful tool for differentiating any program. This can help earn increased levels of member interest and even drive brand awareness long after the point of redemption. This webinar will equip attendees with the best practices and insights for incorporating an experiential rewards strategy in to any customer experience program.
On Dec. 8, 2015 at 1 p.m. EST, Loyalty360 will host a webinar titled, "Experiences Matter! Building Memory and Meaning into Your Loyalty Rewards Strategy," which will be presented by Maritz Motivation Solutions.
By attending this webinar, attendees will learn:
- The power of "experiences" to engage the brain through memory and emotional attachment
- How to experiential rewards activate the power of "goal attainment" to drive engagement
- How experiences enable brands to ignite "selfie value" as a key aspect of the member experience
- The critical role of travel as part of a experiential rewards strategy
The featured webinar speakers are: Barry Kirk, VP of Loyalty Marketing Solutions at Maritz Motivation Solutions, who has over a decade of experience in consulting, customer retention and digital marketing; Jason Hodge, Manager of Product Development at Quality Reward Travel, who has been an active international traveler since 1995 and a professional in the travel industry since 2000; and Mary Luckey, Rewards Solution Designer at Maritz Motivation Solutions, who has more than 20 years of experience in the incentive, recognition, and consumer loyalty industry.
"Winning customer loyalty has to be about so much more than simply collecting and redeeming points," said Mark Johnson, CEO & CMO of Loyalty360 – The Loyalty Marketers' Association. "Consumers are increasingly valuing meaningful and memorable experiences. And the brands that create the emotional connections generated from such experiences can win not only loyalty, but true brand advocacy.
Marketers are invited to join Loyalty360 and Maritz Motivation Solutions on Dec. 8, 2015 at 1 p.m. EST to discover the power behind making customer experience more memorable.

Cutting Baseboard Outside Corner
Cutting Baseboard Outside Corners
Cutting baseboard outside corner. See video how to cut perfect baseboard outside corners. Match up corners perfectly for very sharp clean looking trim.
It should be easy, right? Just measure the boards, cut the miters, and nail the trim in place. Well, not exactly.
If you've ever tried to install baseboard on your own, then you would probably agree that looks can be deceiving. All too often a DIY baseboard installation is compromised by gaps or ill-fitting joints, resulting from walls that aren't flat, floors that aren't level, or corners that aren't square.
Inside corners can be especially tricky to pull off. For a tight fit, use a coped joint. A mitered corner might be ideal for an outside corner, but an inside corner joint will be better formed if you cope the profile of one baseboard to fit snugly against the contours of its mate. -BobVila.com

It is the spring of 1925 and on a sunny day Downton is hosting a fox hunt. As they make to leave, Cora reminds Robert that there is a hospital board meeting later that afternoon, which she feels he is missing on purpose. He doesn't argue, and indeed confesses later to Mary that this is indeed what is happening. No one knows why the board meeting has been called or why it seems so urgent.
As the hunt gets underway, a strange woman is watching, and catches Mary's eye. Carson tells the woman where she can go to watch the hunt.
In the kitchen, Mrs. Patmore and Thomas are entertaining the children. Patmore asks Hughes if she and Carson have set a date for the wedding yet, and Hughes confesses they haven't. Patmore finds Hughes in her room and presses the matter. Hughes tells her, in an adorably roundabout way, that she's worried about what Carson will expect from the marriage, in particular what their physical relationship will entail. She asks Patmore to talk to Carson, and find out what his intentions are. Patmore doesn't want to do it, but agrees anyway.
On the hunt, Mary sees the strange woman watching her, which distracts her to the point that she falls off her horse. Robert stops but she tells him she's fine and the hunt resumes.
Back in the library, Edith is on the phone, being yelled at by the editor of the magazine she inherited from Michael Greggson. It all comes down to the fact that he doesn't like working for a woman. Cora asks her if she might sell the magazine to get rid of the bother, but Edith says she wants to keep it.
At the hospital board meeting, Violet has news. She's heard from a friend that the county wants to take over their local hospital. Violet is aghast at this news, wanting to retain local control. But Isobel thinks it's a good idea, as it will lead to more modern treatments and streamlined fundraising. Lord Merton agrees with Isobel, Dr. Clarkson with Violet and Cora is undecided.
The hunt returns, and Mary is intercepted by the woman who's been watching her. Her name is Rita Bevin and she was a maid at the hotel Mary and Tony Gillingham stayed at during their tryst in Liverpool. She says she has proof, and will expose the affair if Mary doesn't give her 1000 pounds. Mary tells her that she won't pay, and Bevin tells her she'll be back.
Robert and Carson have a conversation in which he intimates that he's thinking about cutting down the staff, as times have changed and most people do not live as they've been living. Carson tells him that they already have, but understands that change must come.
Mary tells Anna about the blackmail plot, and Anna is aghast. Mary says she won't pay because she confident the woman will just keep asking for more and more money. Mary asks Anna about what has been going on, because she seems like she's been down lately, but Anna tells her it's nothing.
Later, Bates asks Anna the same question. She confesses that she's upset because she thought she was pregnant, but it turns out she isn't. She tells him that she's already had two miscarriages and doesn't think she'll ever be able to have a baby. Bates tells her it doesn't matter, all he needs is her, but she's not mollified by this.
That night at dinner, Mary discusses a letter she's had from Tom, which makes her think everything is going well for him in Boston. They discuss replacing him as estate agent, and Mary announces that she wants to do the job herself. Robert and Violet are skeptical, but Isobel, of course, thinks it's a great idea. They move on from this, and Violet and Isobel argue again about the hospital.
Patmore goes to see Carson, and she tries to bring up Hughes' concerns, but is too embarrassed to get around to it, which only leaves Carson confused.
After dinner, Robert and Violet discuss Robert's concerns about their way of life and his thoughts concerning reducing staff. Later, Robert joins Mary and Edith. Edith tells him she's going to London the next day to speak to her editor and deal with Greggson's flat, which she has been letting out. The tenants are leaving, and Edith isn't sure if she wants to let it out again or use it herself.
At the Dower House, Denker is getting Violet ready for bed when Violet tells her about the possible staff reductions at Downton. She makes Denker swear not to say anything to anyone about it.
Hughes asks Patmore if she's had a chance to talk to Carson. She tells her she tried, but just couldn't seem to bring it up. She'll try again.
The next morning, Bevin returns, saying she has a message for Mary from Violet and she must deliver it herself. Reluctantly, Hughes takes her upstairs to Mary. When Hughes leaves, she tries to extort Mary again, but she's having none of it and has Anna escort her out.
At the hospital, Isobel talks to Dr. Clarkson, and they find that they are on opposite sides of the issue of the county takeover.
Back at Downton, Sergeant Willis has returned to talk to Bates and Anna. He tells him that a woman has confessed to Green's murder, but Detective Viner isn't certain the confession in genuine. They need a corroborating witness. For his part, Willis tells them that he believes her, but they need evidence.
In the Library, Robert is telling Cora about a letter they've received from Rose which says she's doing very well in New York, when Mr. Mason arrives. The owners of the estate where he's a tenant have sold, and he's received notice that he may have to leave. He asks Robert to find out what is going on. Robert discovers that the estate is indeed being sold, but some of the tenants might be kept on. Nothing is certain. There is an auction coming up, where most of the family's possessions are going to be sold, which Robert says they should attend.
Daisy hears of this and is very angry on Mason's behalf.
Denker arrives and tells the staff that she's heard there will be cutbacks. Thomas asks Carson if he knows anything about it, but Carson just tells him now is not the time to discuss it.
Back at the Dower House, Denker tells Spratt about the cutbacks and intimates that he might be let go. After all, the countess will always need to dress and undress but does she really require a butler? Later, Spratt asks Violet if she'll please give him warning before letting him go and tells her what Denker said. Violet tells him she'll take care of everything.
Carson calls Patmore into his office and tells her that he's quite sure they never really got around to talking about the point of Patmore's visit last time. Patmore agrees, and after sum hemming and hawing comes out with it. Carson is a little shocked, but after a few moments' consideration asks Patmore to tells Hughes that he loves her, and wants a true marriage with everything that entails. His speech is lovely, and Patmore is very moved. She says she'll take his message to Hughes.
Back at Downton, Bevin has returned and demands to see Mary. When Carson tells her she is not home, she says she'll wait, over his objections. Robert comes in and wants to know what's going on, and she says she'll speak to him instead, inviting herself into the library.
Edith and Rosamunde visit the flat, and Edith is still trying to decide what to do with it. She's at a crossroads in her life, and is considering moving to London full time. She thinks there will be fewer questions about Marigold there.
Mary returns to Downton to be told that Bevin is in talking to Robert, she panics a little and bursts into the library, where Robert is writing Bevin a check. As Bevin goes, he tells her that he knows everything, and is a little disappointed but understands. He only gave Bevin fifty pounds and made her sign a confession of blackmail, which they'll use if the news ever gets out. He also tells Mary that her refusal to bow to Bevin has made him think she'll be an able estate agent after all.
Thomas asks for details about the possible reduction from Carson, and is once more put off. He tells Baxter that he's sure it will be him put on the chopping block.
At Violet's, Isobel arrives for tea and expresses that hope that despite this disagreement between them, they can remain friends. While she is there, Violet calls in Denker and Spratt. She tells Denker that she'll miss her when she goes, but couldn't live without Spratt. Denker is stricken, but Violet tells Isobel she has no intention of losing anyone, but "sometimes it's good to rule by fear."
The family plus Daisy go to Mallerton, to the auction. Robert reminisces with the former owners, and is afraid he sees something of Downton's future. Daisy and Mason view the items up for sale, while Daisy gets angrier and angrier about how Mason is being treated. When she sees the new owners, she goes up to them and basically rips them a new one about how they are treating the tenants. They yell back at her and say, basically, that Mason is definitely out now. Robert and Cora try to intervene, but there's nothing to be done. Daisy walks away, realizing that she's just made everything much worse.
Back at Downton, Daisy is worried that she might be fired for her behavior. Everyone is settling in for their afternoon tea when Willis returns. In front of everyone, he tells Bates and Anna that they've found a witness and know the confession is genuine. They are officially off the hook. Everyone rejoices, and when Carson tells Robert they news he asks that the good wine should be brought out for a celebration. He raises a toast to British justice, which Bates and Anna reluctantly join, as they're not sure they believe in it quite as much as Lord Grantham does.
Later, Carson discusses the Daisy issue with Robert and Cora. Cora says she knows there needs to be some consequence, but doesn't want Daisy fired. Otherwise, they leave the punishment up to Carson.
Robert asks Cora to agree support Violet's case concerning the hospital, or if she can't do that, to at least stay out of it. Cora says she can't do that, as she agrees with Isobel. Robert sighs and says it will be a tense spring.
After Carson and Hughes tell Daisy she gets to keep her job, Hughes wants to have their own conversation. She's thought about what he said, and has decided that she wants what he wants, a full marriage, with all that entails. It's finally time to set the date.

According to the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, laser hair removal is growing more popular across the United States. There was a 51-percent increase in body hair removal procedures from 2012 to 2013. The procedure is especially popular among women between the ages 19 and 36 and men between the ages 18 and 45.
If you are tired of shaving, waxing, or plucking only to see wisps of hair already growing back the following day, you may be considering laser hair removal. The experienced clinicians at Radiance Medspa can evaluate your health and cosmetic goals to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure.
Our team performs a variety of minimally invasive cosmetic procedures including permanent hair removal and wrinkle treatment. Call 202-483-0008 today to make an appointment for laser hair removal in Washington, D.C.
Am I a Good Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
Although most people could benefit from laser hair removal, some individuals will experience better results than others. A variety of factors can affect the procedure's effectiveness including the individual's natural skin tone, the coarseness of the hair, and the size of the treatment area.
In general, the whiter your skin and the darker your hair, the more effective laser hair removal will be. For example, if you have pale skin and you want to remove black or brown hair, you are a great candidate for laser hair removal.
If you have brown skin and you want to remove black, brown or gray hair, you may not experience dramatic results immediately; however, depending on the area that you want to treat, you may still be able to reduce the hair's coarseness and thickness with laser hair removal.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
During the laser hair removal treatment, the technician aims a small, concentrated beam of light at the hair. The pigment in the skin surrounding the hair absorbs this light, damaging the follicle enough to prevent future growth.
Depending on your skin and hair type, you may require multiple treatments in order to achieve your desired results. The results vary among individuals, but in general, you can expect them to last for several months to several years.
Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt?
You may experience some discomfort during the procedure; however, it is minimally invasive, and any pain typically subsides shortly after the procedure. According to Fitness Magazine, some people experience a gentle tingling while others might feel a hot stinging sensation during the procedure, but the treatment itself does not actually hurt.
If you think you might be a good candidate for laser hair removal, turn to Radiance Medspa. Our spa operates under the supervision of a medical doctor, so you know you will be in good hands.
In addition to laser hair removal, we offer wrinkle treatment and facial fillers in Washington, D.C. Call 202-483-0008 today to make an appointment.

Jiffy Case
Key Issues
Jiffy's company culture clearly represents the cause of the biggest issues of this case.
Although initially supported by market potential, steady increase of turnover, strong economic growth and development of new successful products, the Baldwin's private family-owned business philosophy had created several issues: Complete absence of team emphasis and lack of participation of the upper and middle management to the company's policy-making process. Need for major investments in company's equipment to minimize production costs and meet environmental standards. Very wide product range.
Little knowledge of market developments.
Lack of customer orientation.
By relying too much on its reputation of UK number one protective packaging manufacturer, Jiffy exposed itself to a very aggressive and organized competition. Companies like Sealed Air and Sunsetsu can be mentioned as good examples. Mainly focused on the production of plastic based products, Jiffy's competitors used market knowledge, higher technology standards and specific applications for their product lines to approach both end-users and distributors. Lower prices, customer service and customized solutions, were their most visible competitive advantages.
The identification of the customers is clearly an issue in this case. Weather the distributors should be considered as customers or collaborators is the key question. The current situation reveals that although threatened by poor service and lack of communication, the relationship between Jiffy and its distributors is still pretty strong thanks to the brand awareness factor. Context:
The market reached saturation point and the economy is trying to overcome the recent recession. Further, Jiffy is still under the pressure of the new environmental standards that are yet to be met. Alternatives
A. Consider the distributors as end users
Under this alternative Jiffy would be treating distributors as its only customer base. In order to pursue this model, service and loyalty issues should be immediately resolved. The management should take into serious consideration the real needs of the distributors, their feedback and their opinions. Communication and commercial customer awareness should be dramatically improved. New distribution policies should standardize the relationship between Jiffy and its customers, while solving service issues such as deliveries reliability and delivery lead times. At the same time a consistent pricing policy should guarantee clarity in business relationships. At the time when the survey was conducted almost every distributor admitted to stock Jiffy products because of "the actual name" ("It's like Hoover"; "It's synonymous with packaging"). Therefore a clear advantage of this alternative would be the opportunity of turning most of the existing distributors into several new "Ambassadors" once the service issues would be solved. This could mean higher loyalty of distributors to the Jiffy lines and therefore higher volumes, margins and turnover. On the flip side the risks of this model would be several. Treating the distributors as final customers would decrease Jiffy's control on the market place. Following their needs and inputs would mean new investments in production equipment to both comply with environmental standards and lower production cost. The R&D department would have to either rely on data gathered from distributors or engage in very expensive market researches. Last but not least Jiffy would have to refrain from dealing directly with end users, thus face a considerable opportunity cost. Deals like the ones with the General Post Office and The Ministry of Defense could be seen as acts of disloyalty from the distributors' perspective. B. The Sealed Air Model (Distributors + Direct Sales Strategy) Under this next alternative Jiffy would be still considering distributors as its...

Three Ways to Keep Yourself Motivated
So you've unplugged the television and disabled your Internet. The baby is taking a nap, your coffee is cooled, your notes are out, and a blank Microsoft Word document is on the screen in front of you. You've got a good couple of hours to knock out the speech you need to send to your boss as soon as possible…but already your mind is wandering back towards the basketball game last night. You get up and stretch, see a headline on the front cover of a magazine that catches your eye. And next thing you know, the baby is howling for a bottle, your window of opportunity is gone, and you find yourself rhetorically asking, "Where did the time go?"
You're not alone. We've all been there. Sometimes reducing and / or eliminating distractions is not enough to keep our minds from wandering and impairing our performance. Sometimes, we need just a bit more to keep us on task.
No, I'm definitely not talking about performance-enhancing drugs. Sometimes all it takes is a bit of mindfulness, focused attention, and related techniques to increase one's ability to concentrate on a task at hand. The next time you are preparing for a major project, start by eliminating distractions. Make sure you have a realistic goal set, as being overwhelmed by the enormity of a task, can definitely drive one to distraction. Further, arm yourself with the following:
Rewards: Before you begin the project, set a reward for yourself. It can be delayed gratification – not watching the ESPN Sportscenter highlights until you finish your project. Or it can be a singular reward – treating yourself to a nice meal or allowing yourself to buy that new watch Amazon keeps serving you ads for. Whatever it is, when you feel yourself starting to drift off course, remind yourself of your reward. Keeping a picture of the reward in front of you may help as well – as long as it itself does not become a distraction.
Affirmations: Sometimes, our distraction has roots in fear. We may fear our ability to complete a task. Or we may fear our ability to do a good job. Or we may fear that when we complete it, there will be a negative consequences – for example, a work memo our boss asked us to complete may result in a co-worker getting disciplined. No matter the case, when we fear a task, our minds often distract us as a way to avoid engaging in that task.
Knowing this beforehand, we can use affirmations as a way to talk ourselves into the task. We can take a sheet of paper and write a statement that both frames the task in a positive way, states convincingly that we will complete it, and includes a positive outcome of its completion. For example, an affirmation for the completion of a business plan might be:
"Today, I will complete the last section of this business plan, the first step towards my path towards owning my own business."
Take that statement and display it prominently near you to keep yourself focused.
Personally, I often take a little more convincing and write my affirmation on every line of a single sheet of looseleaf paper. The act of writing and rewriting the affirmation helps it sink in and convince myself of the truth of those words. After having written and rewritten my affirmation 26+ times I often no longer need the physical paper in front of me. I also often find myself fairly fired up (albeit with a slightly sore writing hand).
Accountability: When we fear our ability to get our task done, we may hide our very efforts from our loved ones. That's not only dishonest, it robs you of a very powerful motivator. Telling your wife or your kids that you are going to get something done in two hours, makes you that much more motivated to actually get it done in two hours. Do you really want to listen to your five-year old needle you over dinner about how you didn't get something done?

Starting CEGEP is an important time in the life of your son or daughter, as well as for you, especially if this is your first child to reach this educational milestone. It is an exciting time, but it can be overwhelming. That's why we organize an annual special information session at the beginning of September for parents only.
This information session is designed to help you better understand what lies ahead for your son or daughter in the transition from high school to CEGEP, and to be better prepared to help your child succeed throughout his or her time at Dawson.
An information package is handed out during this evening which contains a list of all student services, an example of a course outline and a table showing the differences between high school and CEGEP.
Parent's Night will take place on Wednesday, September 6, 2017 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Tuesday in Monessen, PA while explaining his trade policies, presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said President Ronald Reagan used tariffs to shield America's semiconductor industry and that presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton claims those actions "will start a trade war," the trade war already started and "we're losing badly."
Trump said, "I'm going to instruct my treasury secretary to label China a currency manipulator. Which should have been done years ago. Any country that devalues their currency in order to take unfair advantage of the United States — which is many countries — will be met with sharply. And that includes tariffs and taxes. Number six. I'm going to instruct the U.S. trade representative to bring trade cases against China, both in this country and at the WTO. China's unfair subsidy behavior is prohibited by the terms of its entrance to the WTO. And I intend to enforce those rules and regulations. Basically I intend to enforce the agreements from all countries, including China. Even, if China does not stop its illegal activities, including its theft of American trade secrets, I will use every lawful — look, in is very easy. This is so easy. I love saying this. I will use every lawful presidential power to remedy trade disputes. Including the application of tariffs consistent with section 201 and 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 and section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. And when they say trade expansion, they're talking about other countries. They're not talking about us. Because there is no expansion. They get the expansion, we get the joblessness. That's the way it works. No the going to happen anymore."
He continued, "President Reagan confronted similar trade measures when semiconductor imports threatened U.S. industry. I remember his tariff on Japanese motorcycles was 45% and his tariff to shield America's semiconductor industry was 100%. And that had a big impact, folks. A big impact. Hillary Clinton and her campaign of fear will try to spread the lie that these actions will start a trade war. We already have a trade war and we're losing badly. Badly. She has it completely backwards. Hillary Clinton unleashed a trade war against the American worker when she supported one terrible deal after another, from NAFTA, to China, to South Korea. it doesn't matter. No matter where she went, the American worker was hurt. And you will be hurt worse than ever before if she becomes president of the United States."

I have so much mail in my email that is not open, and to be honest it has been such a while i don't think I will ever open it. Time to time I go back and I clean out my email. So the question is does anyone else do that? Or do you read every email you receive, or say you will read it later and don't?

TECHREPUBLIC - Crowdfunding campaigns for solar power are gaining traction. Pioneering startups like Mosaic are changing how we finance renewable energy.
by Lyndsey Gilpin, Staff Writer for TechRepublic
Ten years ago, Billy Parish visited the shrinking Gaumukh Glacier, a source for the Ganges River that provides 450 million people in Asia with water. Someone told him during the tour that a few years before, he would have been standing on a significantly larger glacier, but by 2030, the entire formation would be gone.
After the trip, Parish was about to start his junior year at Yale. Instead, he dropped out and founded the Energy Action Coalition. By the age of 21, he was running the largest youth organization working on clean energy solutions in the world. Rolling Stone named him a "Climate Hero."
A few years ago, Parish and his now-co-founder Dan Rosen envisioned a "Kickstarter for solar" when they realized it is estimated to cost trillions of dollars to power the infrastructure of the world with 100 percent renewable energy.
"We soon recognized that the transition from fossil fuels to clean energy represented perhaps the largest wealth creation opportunity of the century," Parish said. "There's enormous demand for investments with these characteristics but no real platform to make investing in them easy."
The two men decided to change that with a startup called Mosaic, a web platform that allows investors to fund various solar power projects.
"For me, Mosaic represents one of the biggest business opportunities and one of the biggest climate solutions on the planet," Parish said. "To be able to work at the center of the venn diagram of those two circles is pretty incredible."

The Duo project, produced by Zaven – a design studio established in 2006 by Enrica Cavarzan and Marco Zavagno – starts by looking into urban "passages", into the connections between outside spaces and interiors.
The installation takes a closer look at the relationship between different materials - marble and wood - and explores the juxtaposition of warm and cold light and colours.
The wall system becomes an "in-between space", an area where change is achieved through the freedom it gives to create storage walls, recesses, openings and windows that reveal or conceal what's going on behind the module.

Prophecy: Music and identity since 1996.
From 1996 on when we put out our first release, Prophecy has represented identity-establishing music and high-quality product design.
Swedish post-hardcore band Tengil is a constellation of musicians playing atmospheric, experimental heavy music that is at once nostalgic, quasi-symphonic and spiritually violent. The band tabs itself as "a spiritual task, an impulsion to through music tell the story of moments passing you by, the longing to live and die at the same time, to always be both among and in flames". Tengil's eye-opening musical style has developed from raw hardcore to an almost heavenly wall of aggressive sound. Commanding a mind-bending and dynamic meld of hardcore, rock, blackgaze and melody, Tengil weilds its wide-reaching range over varied tempos, electronics, and occasional pop moments executed with a raw energy that suggests a mash up of Dillinger Escape Plan and Explosions in the Sky.

A year ago, the bipartisan efforts of Republican Sen. John Danforth and Democratic Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan resulted in a law that should help give Americans more control over health-care decisions at the end of life.
The Patient Self-Determination Act (PSDA), which goes into effect Dec. 1, requires that people entering health-care facilities be informed of their rights to refuse medical treatment, as well as whatever rights their state provides for drawing up advance directives such as living wills or health-care proxies.
The intent of the new law is to educate people -- not to require people to sign living wills or other documents.

A cabal loyal to Nigeria's ailing President Muhammadu Buhari has prevented Acting President Yemi Osinbajo from swearing-in the two ministers who were recently confirmed by the Senate, The Trent can report.
Two weeks after their confirmation by the Senate, the Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, again on Wednesday, May 17, 2017 did not inaugurate the two ministers at the commencement of the weekly federal cabinet meeting.
On May 3, 2017, the Nigerian Senate confirmed the new ministers, Stephen Ocheni (Kogi) and Suleiman Hassan (Gombe).
YOU MAY LIKE THIS: The Evil Cabal That Want Apostle Suleman Down, Gov. Fayose Revealed
The slots of Kogi and Gombe States in the federal cabinet had been vacant following the death of Mr. James Ocholi (SAN), the minister of state for labour, in an accident on March 6, 2016; and the appointment of erstwhile environment minister Ms. Amina Mohammed, as the deputy secretary-general of the United Nations.
Nigerians had awaited news of the administration of oath of office on the new ministers by Acting President Osinbajo, but for the second week in a row, Osinbajo would not swear-in the ministers.
READ ALSO: PDP says cabal ruling Nigeria as Buhari misses FEC meeting again
Informed sources about the development told The Trent that Osinbajo "would dare not swear-in the ministers after receiving threats from the pro-Buhari cabal who see that singular act as an executive overstep by the vice president whose actual position is considered to be a "mere national co-ordinator , instead of an acting president.
"It's a serious issue. The cabal in Aso Rock has prevented Osinbajo from carrying out his full role as Acting President. This is the second time in two weeks that he would fail to perform that executive role in the swearing-in of the new ministers. This is a role reserved for a sitting President or Acting President but Osinbajo has been warned to refrain from swearing-in the ministers as it would amount to usurping the powers of his boss President Buhari", a source in the presidency told The Trent on the condition of anonymity.
Recall that news had filtered into the Nigerian media last week about how Osinbajos' security detail was unceremoniously changed a few days before the president left for an indefinite medical leave to London. According to sources all the Yorubas guarding the vice president were replaced with Northerners.
With Buhari's worsening health and his exit from the country to an indefinite sick leave, observers say the situation in Aso Rock has assumed a worrisome dimension with intense politicking gradually taking over the affairs of real governance.
Presidential spokespersons Femi Adesina, Garba Shehu and Laolu Akande did not take their calls when contacted by The Trent for comments.

Testing Out the New Spriting Process
I'm almost got all of the kinks out, but its not as perfect as I'd like. The good news is that I have it working. And that's what's important, right?
Currently, I'm drawing my character in a 600x600 pixel box that I shrink down to 180 by 180. I do a separate pass for just my fills and one pass for my lines. I lay the lines on top of the fills and drop the transparency to 60%. That would be all well and fine, but the black lines don't completely transfer once shrunk so I have to expand the ink lines by a pixel on each side in photoshop before the shrink. That also causes some of the black to bleed past the edge of the fills which is no good at all. So I've figured out that I can select the transparency on the Fills layer and use it to subtract all of the excess black lines.
Digital Trickery!
For fun, I included the old character art so that you can see the new size difference. Its quite a bit bigger and I haven't even drawn the head! At the this point, each frame is only 2 kb and I don't expect it to get much bigger when I finish.
I'll post more as I finish.

- 500 grams Guinea Fowl Breasts, Skin removed
100 grams Smoked bacon
2 Spring Onion
360 grams Chicken stock
1 1/2 teaspoons Ground coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons Ground cumin
1/2 tablespoon Nutmeg
10 grams Salt
8 grams Activa RM – Transglutaminase
to taste White pepper
400 grams Short crust pastry
1 Egg, For egg wash
Sesame seeds (a mixture of white and black), Optional
- Finely chop the guinea fowl breasts, bacon and spring onion and place in a food processor.
- Blend until a paste starts to form (you might have to stop the blending and scrape the mixture from the sides a few times.
- Once the mixture is starting to transform into a paste, slowly start adding the chicken stock with the blender running. Blend until the paste is smooth.
- Add the salt and transglutaminase in a separate small bowl and mix very well.
- Add the mixture to the meat mixture with the blender still running. Continue to blend for a few more minutes until the transglutaminase mixture is well dispersed.
- Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl and season with spices. Mix well.
- Place a fine sieve over a clean bowl and using a bowl scraper or dough cutter, start passing the meat through the sieve a little at a time. This will remove the larger chances of meat and sinew producing a very smooth mixture. If needed, return chunky meat leftovers to the blender and blend some more. Keep passing small amounts of meat mixture through the sieve till all the meat is processed and only sinew remain. Discard sinew.
- Roll out the short crust pastry to a thickness of 2 to 3 millimeters.
- Using a fold-over hand pie mold (what ever size you have), cut the dough into circular portions the size of your mold. Add enough filling to each portion of dough and close the mold by folding over and pressing down on it. You should now have a perfect half-moon shaped pie. Continue till all the dough and filling has been used.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and transfer all the pies onto the baking sheet. Cover with cling film and refrigerate overnight to allow the enzymes in the transglutaminase to do its work.
- After at least 8 hours of refrigeration, remove the pies and pre-heat your oven to 180℃.
- Whisk the egg and glaze each pie with some egg wash. Sprinkle with a mixture of sesame seeds if you wish.
- Bake the pies for about 30 to 40 minutes depending on the thickness of your dough and the temperature of your oven. If needed, rotate the sheet with pies halfway through the baking to ensure evenness. The pies should be golden with crispy dough all the way through. Watch out for soggy bottoms!
- Serve warm with condiments of your choice.

Professor Richard Lindzen has given permission to place his Testimony to Congress on this site. This presentation argues for the need to be far less concerned about global warming than is widely believed. Because it is well argued, but goes against the current mainstream media position, I believe it is an important paper which deserves careful consideration. Remember, the aim of this paper is to get the reader to think calmly and rationally about this topic. Unlike many contributers to both sides of the debate, Professor Lindzen is a highly respected professional researcher. Ideally his presentation should be read in conjunction with his other paper also posted on this site.

Ask questionsThis is a very simple task. You only need to know the item_id and send it along with a text String on the Json body like in the following example:
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "text":"Test question.", "item_id":"MLA608007087" }' https://api.mercadolibre.com/questions/MLA608007087?access_token=$ACCESS_TOKEN
Answer questionsWhen you have a large amount of items listed on MercadoLibre you're probably gonna receive lots of questions so we recommend you develop a way to answer those questions in a semi-automatic way, where answers are suggested to operators basing on frequent keywords. To do so, you need to know how to answer a question by API. This is gonna be easy. First, let's check all the questions you got on your item. Just make a question search by item like in the example:
curl 'https://api.mercadolibre.com/questions/search?item_id=ITEM_ID&access_token=XXXX'You'll see questions have a status, so you'll probably gonna have to keep those under "unanswered" status. Now let's answer a single question:
curl -X POST -H ""Content-Type: application/json"" -d '{ "question_id": 3957150025, "text":"Test answer..." }' https://api.mercadolibre.com/answers?access_token=$ACCESS_TOKEN
Get questions detailExample:
curl -X GET https://api.mercadolibre.com/questions/3957150025?access_token=$ACCESS_TOKENResponse:
{ "id": 3957150025, "answer": { "date_created": "2016-02-29T11:21:27.000-04:00", "status": "ACTIVE", "text": "Test answer..." }, "date_created": "2016-02-29T11:19:42.000-04:00", "deleted_from_listing": false, "hold": false, "item_id": "MLA608007087", "seller_id": 202593498, "status": "ANSWERED", "text": "Test question.", "from": { "id": 207119838, "answered_questions": 1 } }When working with questions is very useful to listen to Notifications since it enables you to have a real-time feed of events that occur regarding to them. Learn how to work with notifications. Note: To answer or ask questions, the maximum number of characters is 2,000.
Delete questionsIf you have the need to delete a question an user made on your item just use the DELETE method with the question ID and the seller's access token. Example:
curl -X DELETE 'https://api.mercadolibre.com/questions/${question_id}?access_token=$ACCESS_TOKEN'Response:
[ "Question deleted." ]
Questions blacklistManaging the question's blacklist allows you to block users from asking questions on your items. Later on, you can remove them from the blacklist to allow questions. This blacklist is user-based and the seller has full control over the list of users on it. Let's see a few examples of thing you can do with it.
Send users to questions blacklist
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "user_id": blocked user id }' https://api.mercadolibre.com/users/$SELLER_ID/questions_blacklist?access_token=$ACCESS_TOKEN
Get questions blacklist
curl -X GET 'https://api.mercadolibre.com/users/$SELLER_ID/questions_blacklist?access_token=$ACCESS_TOKEN '
Remove a user from blacklist
curl -X DELETE 'https://api.mercadolibre.com/users/$SELLER_ID/questions_blacklist/$USER_ID?access_token=$ACCESS_TOKEN'Perfect, now you know everything there's is to know about our question blacklist. We hope it comes handy if it's needed.
How to be aware of a question?A question on an item is an event that occurs on MercadoLibre's side, so you'll need to subscribe to our questions feed to be aware in real time when that event occurs. First of all, we have to configure our application to be capable of getting notifications. This can be done by subscribing your application to questions notifications. Go to our Application Manager (http://applications.mercadolibre.com) and edit your application Notifications Settings. For more information about creating and configuring a new app, please check this guide. You must choose a Callback URL: configure the public URL of your domain where you want to receive all the notifications from MercadoLibre. E.g.: "https://backend.soleorigami.com/notification". Also you need to specify which "topic" you will list, in this case you must select questions. This configuration allows you to interact with MercadoLibre notifications. All the events regarding new questions will be notified to your callback URL.
Receiving a NotificationMercadoLibre will send you notifications through a POST message with information inside items body. The most important attribute in the message is the user_id which is related to the notification and second one is the resource. The resource is the element that has been updated or it has been created.
{ "user_id": 1234, "resource": "/questions/139876", "topic": "questions", "received": "2011-10-19T16:38:34.425Z", "sent" : "2011-10-19T16:40:34.425Z", }After receiving the notification you must send an acknowledgment (ACK 200) to MercadoLibre in order to stop receiving the notification. Check our Notifications tutorial to know further.

Paris in winter. The air is crisp as you stroll along the Seine, passing the Cathedral of Notre Dame glowing golden in the afternoon sun, before finding a cosy cafe for a Chocolat Chaud to people-watch for a while. Sounds good doesn't it? If you fancy a winter weekend in Paris, check out this cool giveaway from Avios for a 3 night weekend break for 2 people. Even if you don't win you can still enjoy that weekend away by earning Avios as you shop at all your favourite stores – read on to discover more.
One of the highlights of our last winter visit to Paris was a walk around Marché d'Aligre in the 12th arrondissement. This neighbourhood is just far enough away from the tourist hotspots and has a multi-cultural feel – of course it's wonderful for foodies. In fact you get three markets in one, since there's a covered market where you'll be drooling over the cheeses and admiring the beautifully presented fish and meat, as well as an outdoor fruit and veg market and a flea market where you can shop for vintage clothes and cute household finds. As you often find around markets, there are lots of lovely cafes and restaurants in the streets nearby, all supplied with the freshest of produce. Read about my visit to Marché d'Aligre here.
Not too far from Marché d'Aligre we enjoyed visiting the Victor Hugo house in Place des Vosges which is close to the fashionable Marais district. Although there are plenty of cute shops in the Marais, we found it a bit touristy, but when we reached Place des Vosges it was a much more local experience with everyone enjoying a bit of winter sunshine and children playing in the park at the centre of the square. The apartment where Victor Hugo lived is at No 6, Place des Vosges, to one side of the square, full of the paintings, furniture and artistic objects that he collected, giving a fascinating insight into the creator of Les Miserables and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Read about my winter weekend in Paris here.
If you love to travel you're probably aware of Avios – they were formerly British Airways Air Miles. You can build up Avios like a currency each time you fly with British Airways, Air Lingus, Flybe, Iberia and Kululu.com and use them to book flights or hotel stays. What you may not realise, however, is that you can also earn Avios by shopping online at over 1000 stores – probably the places that you are shopping at anyway. If you're stocking up on food and wine at Tesco Direct, or buying gifts at John Lewis, House of Fraser, Selfridges, Currys and many more stores, you could be building up enough Avios for that weekend in Paris in the New Year.
Whether you're buying extra provisions for Christmas parties or gifts for loved ones, it's the perfect opportunity to build up your Avios, since many of the retailers offer extra points at this time of year. You'll find lots of Christmas ideas on the Avios Christmas List website where they are also running a giveaway of a weekend for two in Paris.
I had a look around the Avios e-store and found plenty of inspiration for my own Christmas shopping from my favourite high street stores. My parents have a lifetime's worth of ornaments so these days we tend to buy them foodie treats like the gourmet hampers at M&S. (M&S have an offer of 8 Avios for £1 spent until 18 Dec). For my husband I'd shop at John Lewis to buy a cosy wool jumper that he can relax in while watching the rugby – this one from Gant would be great to wear with jeans at the weekend (John Lewis have an offer of 4 Avios for £1 spent until 18 Dec).
My daughter collects silver jewellery so I think this pretty necklace from Links of London would be perfect for her (Links offers 8 Avios for £1 spent) and my son loves his music, so these Sonos speakers at John Lewis would mean he can stream music from his phone for student parties.
I recently upgraded to the iPhone 7 Plus and wish I'd known that I could have bought it from Apple through the Avios eStore, as that purchase alone would have probably earned me enough Avios for my flight to Paris.
Win a trip to Paris with Avios
Now let me tell you about the three night trip to Paris that Avios are giving away on their Avios Christmas List website – you can enter here.
Just head over to the Avios Christmas List site and enter by leaving your name, email, address, and telephone number for a chance to win this trip. The prize consists of two return economy flights (including taxes, fees and charges) and a 3 night's accommodation in Paris for two people.
You're eligible to enter the competition if you're over 18 and resident in the UK (excluding Northern Ireland), Channel Islands or Isle of Man and the competition ends at midnight on 22 December 2016, after which the winner will be drawn at random.
If you're lucky you may win a weekend break in Paris (enter here), but if not you could easily build up enough Avios to cover your flights, just by shopping online at your favourite High Street stores this Christmas (shop here).
More tips on what to see in Paris
On your weekend in Paris you'll almost certainly end up at the Cathedral of Notre Dame, where there are always plenty of crowds gathering to see Paris's number one tourist site. We preferred to walk through the less crowded garden of Jean XXIII behind the cathedral and then over the bridge to Ile Saint Louis. Along the main street of main road of rue Saint Louis-en-l'Ile there are plenty of charming independent shops, galleries and cafes.
In the Bastille neighbourhood, it's fun to walk along Canal Saint Martin and take a look at all the house-boats moored there, a little like Regents Canal in London. Walk right to the end where the canal meets the river Seine and you can walk along the cobbled footpath by the river. There's a good view down towards Notre Dame on Ile de la Cité and you can watch the boats go by before climbing up the steps and crossing over to the Rive Gauche at Pont Charles de Gaule. Read more about my winter weekend in Paris here.
I hope you've enjoyed my tips for a winter break in Paris – don't forget to use the Avios e-Store to shop for everything you need this Christmas, at your favourite high street stores, so that you can make your weekend in Paris a reality.

You will love this easily accessible, meticulously maintained Kihei Kai Nani condo. Consider: new kitchen, updated bath with walk-in shower and sparkling accessories. King-size bed that is firm and comfortable. Our condo is fully-equipped with everything you need to enjoy a fantastic Maui vacation. The Wi-Fi signal is strong throughout the unit and allows easy connection to the Net.
We love the fact that as a ground floor unit, our lanai opens onto a green lawn that allows us and our guests to spread out on the grass and enjoy the sun. The lanai and lawn are an "extra room" in our Maui home.
Most important, we have maintained our condo in exceptional condition. It is cleaned carefully after each guest's stay and receives a deep cleaning at least twice each year.
Only one minute's walk down the driveway, we love the Kamaole 2 Beach Park. The beach and water are spectacularly clean and make for great swimming. At Kam 3, only minutes further on, the snorkeling is excellent. It is common to watch sea turtles within feet of the shore as they feed on the seaweed near the point.
Kihei Kai Nani itself is so convenient. Parking is plentiful, free, and convenient to the condo. The large freshwater pool is open all day and into the evening for guests. Shops and restaurants are close at hand, including a well-stocked natural foods grocery and exceptional cinnamon roll bakery.
We have tried in all ways to create the Maui home that we love to visit when we use the condo ourselves. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do!

This VRBO partner has demonstrated and is committed to fast response times, the best rates, and a great guest experience.
We love Maui! For more than twenty years, my wife Merrie and I have enjoyed the wonderful air and beautiful beaches of Kihei. Since we met on Oahu in the '50s, we have considered Hawaii and Maui specifically our second home. I am retired and spend my time supporting my family and Merrie in her many projects helping people in our town. In my spare time, I often play the ukelele and have recorded over 50 songs -- many about the beauty and the life on Maui. I would love to have a chance to share my music with you!
Charles Emmons purchased this condo in 1983
We first visited Kihei Kai Nani more than twenty years ago. It was so lovely, so relaxing. The next year we returned and decided to invest in a little piece of Paradise ourselves. We think you will love our condo. It is bright, clean, and fresh. As an end-unit in our building, its extra windows bring in wonderful light and soft Hawaiian air. It makes a fantastic place to relax and enjoy oneself any time of day -- but especially after a great day at the beach!
Wild and colorful birds visit us each morning while we breakfast on the lanai with fresh papaya, lime juice, toast and coffee. At night we can hear the ocean. The condo has everything to enjoy the beach: beach chairs, mats, snorkels, beach towels, and more. Restaurants and shops are close by. We often enjoy stopping for drinks in the evening at the larger hotels, and it is easy to take in performances at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center in Kahalui.
Love this place. Great condo, excellent location.
Great location. Very nice condo to stay in!
Dad: First of all, all my family liked the location of the condo very much. It is conveniently located across street of the Kamaole beach II. We had a lot of fun at the beach. Near the condo, there are quite a few restaurants, grocery stores, and ice cream shops. We were delighted to find that the owner of Cones on Kihei Ice Cream, a nice ice cream place near by, was a Guinness world record holder of golf!
We were thankful to Charles, the owner, for providing beach umbrella, chairs, and 3 boogieboards! The boards were the most fun part of my vacation--we used them almost everyday and on the near by beaches.
The condo was clean, with one king size bed and 1 hide-away sofa bed. They were comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with many pans, nice plates and utensils. We liked watching TV there at night. We will consider the condo again next time.
Daughter: I like the TV. They had a LOT of different and various channels to view, and there were tiny cute little geckos in the bushes. :) :) :) :) :) There were also a lot of spare blankets, which was super handy. ALSO, they had a HUGE collection of plates, silverware, and even ketchup and many condiments. :) LOVE IT! Also, it was a superb place because there were about 5 beaches in a 1-mile range or so, with 3 right next to our room/condo/place. :) :) I liked the hide-away bed. :)
Outstanding location - next to many shops, restaurants. Lighted crosswalk to beach at end of driveway. No car needed if you've been elsewhere in Maui. Well stocked with array of condiments. Great updated shower. Friendly check in lady. Nice breeze blows thru end unit windows. I hope this place is available next time I get to come to Maui. Highly recommend for peaceful simple stay.
My wife and I stayed here for our 2 year anniversary. It was overall a great experience. The condo is across the street from a great beach. It's walking distance to a number of great restaurants, a few bars, and a mile away from a food-land. It's easy to get to from the airport and is only a 20-30 minute drive.
The condo itself was very clean. The bed was a queen size and pretty comfortable. The condo has a full kitchen and everything you need in regards to household needs. There was plenty of plates, utensils, etc for bigger groups or families. There is also beach chairs, an umbrella, boogy board, etc that are available. There is also a iron and board as well as a TV with cable (you shouldn't need it). There was no hair dryer so you will have to bring that (my wife).
The condo grounds were very nice. Plenty of parking. There was a pool we didn't use it so I'm not sure if it's nice but it looked ok. The laundry facilities are nice, a little expensive, but not bad.
Overall a great condo and highly recommended. Great location, easy access, clean, and the owner was easy to communicate with.
Good access to all Kehei has to offer, well stocked and clean.
We are located in Building 8 of Kihei Kai Nani, a comfortable and convenient condo complex in relaxed South Kihei. From our lanai, the fantastic swimming at Kamaole Two Beach Park is no more than two minutes' walk away. Snorkeling is excellent. Restaurants and shops are close at hand, including The Cinnamon Roll Place, where one can pick up fabulous macadamia nut encrusted cinnamon rolls any morning of the week and walk home to enjoy them with the morning coffee. All of Maui is easily available from this location. Parking is free immediately in front of the condo, and we enjoy a strong wifi signal throughout the unit. Make this your home base for a visit to Maui!

The popular Two Plus Two poker forums were hacked yesterday by an advanced hacker who managed to get hold of the email details of all their members. Furthermore, this hacker was so advanced that he managed to find a flaw in the software used to power the forums and now has access to everyone's password. Whilst this is virtually impossible to do in the Betfred Poker and Betfred Casino clients it does serve as a stark warning to many online gamblers, myself included.
Many poker players and online casino regulars use the same passwords for everything they use. Until recently I was guilty of doing this myself but no longer do so. They are also guilty of using real words and phrases to make their password memorable when the most secure passwords are made up of upper and lower case letters, symbols and numbers. I now use a free piece of software called LastPass that generates and manages your passwords for you. All you need is one master password and it looks after the rest for you, creating completely random sequences of text.
Along with passwords make sure you never enter you security details anywhere other than the Betfred products. Betfred will never contact you and ask for your password of security details so if you receive such an email contact customer support straight away. In a similar vein never open links and files from unknown sources as these can installed unwanted and malicious programs onto your machine that can expose your passwords to unscrupulous people.
The chances of you being targeted are very slim indeed but by looking after your own internet security you can reduce this chance event more then Betfred will look after matters this side of the fence!

Asmo status
Returning after 1+ years, I'm trying to find a server with a decent (and friendly) asmo population/activity... or even an Elysian one really. Solo is nice and all, but it gets boring really fast. And I hear rumors about a server merge or some-such coming up sometime soon-ish?
Oh and also, what role/class is lacking? I tried making a character in each server to find out but it all seems all over the place. One place has too many Templars whilst another server's first Templar shows up at rank 100 (ballpark). Granted, those rankings aren't an accurate way to gauge server activity, but it's the only thing I could find short of leveling a character to 65+ in each server D;
Thanks all, in advance!

Hello all,
My program contains five pages. Page 0 is the main page, my dashboard has been said. This page works perfectly. Page 1 is a menu page that refers to pages 2, 3, 4 and 5. Page 1 has four buttons, under Touch Release Event is referred to the appropriate page. Below each page, the Home and Back buttons are also referred to in the same way to pages 0 and 1. This page also works well.
Pages 2, 3, and 4 contain buttons and text fields to manage settings for time / date, temperature and pH settings and calibration respectively. Page 5 is not (yet) used. Pages 2, 3, and 4 do not work. Problem; overloading.
For quite some time, I'm working to get this problem over and I got a lot of help from the people here, Patrick, for example.
Now the thought came up with me to divorce the program parts in one way or another.The main page 0, for example, has no need to do anything if I have to change a setting on page 2. If I'm working at page 3, other pages don't need to do anything our transmit something. The same goes for page 4.
Now the question: Can this be done? Or is it so when a page is visited, the rest is already doing nothing?
Thank you in advance for your comments!
Greeting, Ben.
can you provide links to sensors used
Hello Patrick,
pH sensor:
pH module:
Relay means for opening and closing a CO2 solenoid valve:
Temperature sensor:
Hello all,
Because I also wanted to see at other possibilities, I looked at what I definitely needed and where I could possibly do without it. I drastically reduced the program. The setting options for the clock and temperature have disappeared. The clock itself is also programmed in a different way. However, it is not possible to control the buttons of the pH measurement settings. Sometimes, after many times, it does something, usually nothing. The only chance I still see is to make an absolute separation, in this case, between page 0 and page 1? It seems strange that there are such minimal possibilities with this screen and the Arduino when it comes to loading?
Below, I add the renewed program and the HMI file.
Thanks and Greetings,
Hello everyone.
The above problem has been solved. Below my adapted sketch. Thank you for all the help!
In brief, what resolved the conflict?
Hello Patrick,
In brief; as I described above. I reduced the sketch significantly and placed timers where it could. Furthermore, I moved the maxPH and minPH values to another location as shown in the attached sketch.
However, I remain grateful for all given help. It turned out very educational!
Thank you so much!
