Coffee and Cigarettes
He wore navy blue socks and black shoes. As a child I had decided I would be a spy in the CIA so I started to watch everyone around me as practice, this still continues. Anyway we wore navy blue socks and black shoes, as I took off my backpack to sit down at the computer next to him I got a whiff of his scent. He smelled the same as someone I used to know, very well. Someone whom I loved and I loved his scent of coffee and cigarettes. Not being a coffee drinker or smoker myself, (expect for that brief month in January) I would often lie in bed holding his long fingers and smelling his scent, had he known I'm sure he would have thought me insane, as I may very well be. We had some good times me and that coffee drinker, a long torturous run if you will. In the end I don't think we could have hurt each other more and yet when my olfactory senses were filled with his familiar notes I couldn't help but smile. Smile at the memories that issued forth upon sitting at the computer next to this other boy with the terrible fashion faux pas. He looked nothing like my former friend, they were of different ethnicities and he wore one of those beanie hats with a bill (a terrible fashion device as well) however he was wearing khaki pants which I found intriguing as my former friend and lover only wore khaki pants. All the days and years I knew him I couldn't count more then ten times I saw him in some other form of pants whether denim, dress or wool. It was his uniform if you will and he wore it well, I was attracted anyway. Ah but my initial attraction to this character, this cigarette smoker, is a fateful story unto itself.

As always, beautifully written, but, excuse me, January is one of the longest months in the whole year.

The nose is one of the most powerful senses when it comes to memories

I would have to agree with Croaker as some of my most treasured memories are brought back to me when I smell scotch and Aqua Di Gio cologne.

text: I literally do worry about every single thing that happens in my body and every single symptom or wierd feeling I get. How did I get this bad that I let every single thing scare me. It's like I'm anticipating things to happen along with letting everything that does happen worry me. Like now, I woke up already worried that if I don't have a bm thus morning or soon today it will be two days I haven't had one because foe the past week or even two weeks I was going every day but then also I wasn't eating much and eating mostly fruits and non solid stuff so I don't know if that's why I was going to easily but the last four days I have been eating better and more solid type foods now it's like I am struggling to have a bm and when I feel the urge to go it's still not coming or I feel it will be constipation. And yes really I've been having difficulty with my bowels ever since this anxiety and stress hit me hard in july everything has been off track, one minute it's constipation, next it's close to diarrhea, next it's normal. But I'm still worried. Now my thoughts have spiral out and I think something is wrong with my intestinal, or digestive system. Or maybe my kidneys aren't flushing my food right. And what if this causes bacteria to back up in me. What if this is happening quickly? It's like every day it's a new reason to stress about something different.

Colts Coverage
Colts Free Agent Watch: Jon Bostic
Joe Robbins | Getty Images
INDIANAPOLIS – Jon Bostic even playing football last year was a pretty good accomplishment.
Before Week 1 of 2017, Bostic had last played football in December of 2015.
A serious foot injury in the 2016 preseason took the former second-round pick off the field for that entire season.
The Colts took a chance on Bostic last offseason and he ended up starting 14 games for them as their main defensive communicator.
Bostic, 26, showed last year he could play again in the NFL.
In Indianapolis, there's a lot of turnover expected among the linebacker group.
How does Bostic transition to a 4-3 scheme as the Colts definitely need to upgrade their linebacker position?
Bostic does have 32 starts in 4 playing NFL seasons, experience that far exceeds anything else the Colts have at inside linebacker.
Percent I'd Bring Bostic Back: 40
-With Matt Eberflus implementing a 4-3 defense with the Colts, there's a major calling for new linebackers. That especially holds true in the middle of that unit. Jon Bostic was serviceable last season, but if the Colts have a chance to significantly upgrade that position, they must go full steam ahead. The name Anthony Hitchens from Dallas continues to come up as a realistic free agent candidate for the Colts. Bringing Bostic back to compete for a depth spot at linebacker could be in the cards. But a new starter is needed in the center of this defense.

- Abstract
Previous research suggests that when there is a high level of inequality, there is a low rate of participation. Two arguments are generally offered: First, inequality depresses participation because people from different status groups have fewer opportunities to share common goals. Second, people may participate more in civic and social life when they have more resources. However, until now, these explanations have not been separated empirically. Using EU-SILC data for 24 European countries, we analyze how income inequality is related to civic and social participation. Our results indicate that the main effects of inequality manifest via resources at the individual and societal level. However, independent of these resources, higher inequality is associated with lower civic participation. Furthermore, inequality magnifies the relationship between income and participation. This finding is in line with the view that inter-individual processes explain why inequality diminishes participation.

|Nutritional Guidelines (per serving)
If you have visited Spain or eaten in a Spanish bodega or restaurant, you have probably tried Spanish chorizo--pork sausage seasoned with paprika and garlic. It is made with coarsely chopped pork meat and pork fat and is traditionally encased in pig intestines.
Families all over Spain make their own, and it is a staple of the Spanish diet and comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes. This chorizo recipe is a Spanish family favorite and is courtesy of Francie Vicondoa, author of Spanish Doors, Dishes and Dreams.
This recipe calls for 20 pounds of meat, which makes a large quantity of chorizo, so feel free to use less and adjust seasonings as needed. If you can, have someone help you mix the ingredients as it is much easier with an extra set of hands. You will also need a meat grinder for not only grinding the meat but also filling the sausage casings. Finally, make sure to plan ahead since you will need to hang the chorizo to dry for close to two weeks.
- 20 lbs. pork butt (the weight of the meat with bone removed)
- 3 heads of garlic
- 8 oz. black pepper
- 1 tbsp. cloves
- 3 1/2 cups ground red pepper
- 1/2 cup salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 cup cayenne pepper
- 1/4 cup paprika
- 1 bundle of sausage casings (cleaned)
Steps to Make It
Grind the meat in a meat grinder. Peel and mash the garlic.
Put the meat into a large tub. One person should be mixing the meat with their hands, while another person adds the ingredients. Add all other ingredients in order, a little at a time, starting with about 3 handfuls of salt (be careful not to add too much). Add cayenne in small amounts until it is as hot as you want it. Add just enough paprika to get the desired color.
Knead the meat as if you were making bread. Fry a few tablespoons of the meat mixture and taste test it. If you think it needs more of a seasoning or two, add it now. Remember it is easy to add something, but it is not easy to remove once it is mixed in.
Using the appropriate attachment on a meat grinder, fill the already cleaned casings with the meat. Leave about 1/2 inch of unfilled casing on each side to tie the openings (you can fold sausage in half and tie ends together), or tie bottom end of casing before filling. Use a strong string and double tie each end. With a straight pin, prick the sausage several times all over. (This will help them to dry faster.)
Hang the chorizo to dry in a very cool, dry place for 10 to 14 days or until they harden. They should get some ventilation, but never a draft. If they get too much exposure to air, they may dry too quickly on the outside, which would prevent them from drying on the inside. If the casings begin to form a white coat, moisten a paper towel with vegetable oil and rub them to remove the white. After you have rubbed them with oil, dry them with a paper towel. They are ready to eat when they are solid all the way through and firm to the touch.

Article date - 28 July 2017
Dozens of Sergeant John 'Jack' Molyneux's descendants and their families gathered at a special ribbon cutting ceremony earlier today (Friday 28 July) attended by St Helens' Mayor and Mayoress Councillor Joe Pearson and wife Sylvia, as John Molyneux VC Close was officially unveiled.
John won the Victoria Cross for his brave actions on the front near Langemarck, Belgium on 9 October 1917 when the British attack was held up by machine gun fire from a German trench.
John, aged 26 at the time, organised a bombing party which captured the gun and killed the crew. He then jumped from the trench, calling for his comrades to follow him, running to a nearby house that was occupied by the enemy. Before any help could arrive, John became engaged in hand-to-hand combat. The enemy quickly surrendered and 20-30 prisoners were taken.
John was presented with the Victoria Cross on his return to Britain by King George V, and was given a hero's welcome when he finally came home to St Helens. Here, he was invited by the Mayor of St Helens to speak on the town hall steps to a jubilant crowd. John said at the time:
"The Victoria Cross has not made me a proud man; not at all. I have seen thousands of men earn it but they have not got it. I got mine because it was rather a high position, and I was seen by four or five others and I got four recommendations. I know the boys who were with me are all worthy of the VC. I am sorry to say most of them got wounded… The position we rushed was where the bullets were coming from that wounded our men. I set my teeth, and you know what it is when a British bulldog sets its teeth; it goes red-hot into it."
John's signature was recorded in the Mayoral Parlour's register on his visit in 1918, and was recently found in the Gamble building archives.
Mayor of St Helens, Councillor Joe Pearson, said: "It's a privilege to announce the naming of John Molyneux VC Close. Sergeant Molyneux's story is one of great bravery and loyalty to his brothers in arms in the face of peril, but as John himself humbly says, it's a story shared by so many young men – around the world – who went to war, with many never to return. Let us celebrate his valour and remember all those who fought for their country."
John Molyneux was born at number 3 Marshalls Cross Road on 22 November 1890, to mother Minnie and coal miner father Joseph, who worked as a hewer at Sherdley Colliery. The family moved to 8 Manor Street in 1891, and shortly afterwards moved to Ell Bess Lane, which in 1902 was renamed Sherdley Road.
John, known locally as Jack, was educated at Holy Trinity School but left at the age of 12 to work in the mines.
John died on 25 March 1972 at Ashtons Green Home in Parr, aged 81. He was cremated at St Helens Cemetery and his ashes were scattered in the Garden of Remembrance.
Among multiple generations of family members, guests at the ceremony included Colonel Mike Glover (Lancs. Area Secretary The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers) (the regiment in which John served) and Cllr Seve Gomez-Aspron, the council's Armed Forces Champion.
The street naming is part of a programme of work by St Helens Council and partners to honour the borough's four VC recipients on the centenaries of their presentations, including John Molyneux.
Already it has seen an honorary paving stone laid by the Cenotaph war memorial on Victoria Square in recognition of Company Sergeant Major Frederick William Hall, who was killed in action in Belgium during the Second Battle of Ypres. Frederick had crawled out from his trench into no man's land to rescue a wounded soldier, but was shot and killed in the act.
The Newton and Earlestown Community Group are also raising funds to erect a statue in 2018 to commemorate Newton-born Private Norman Harvey, who received his Victoria Cross for actions in battle at Ingoyhem, Belgium in October 1918. Norman's battalion was stopped by machine gun fire and suffering casualties when he ran forward and engaged the enemy single-handed, killing two, wounding one and capturing 12 men and two guns. A Newton street has already been named in his honour.
The final VC recipient is Corporal John Thomas Davies, who, on 24 March 1918, leapt to defend his comrades as they retreated, firing his Lewis gun into the enemy and stalling their advance. Captured and later released, John spent the majority of his life in St Helens, and was buried in St Helens Cemetery upon his death in 1955. Plans to commemorate John will be revealed next year on the centenary of his VC presentation.

Nose: Smoked bacon, Tarry ropes on a not-long-dry seashore. Loads of Vanilla. Pomegranates, Fizzy-sweets (refreshers, Sherbet Lemons) and Lemon-zest. Not convinced I'd have got Mocha, if not for the autosuggestion, but it's definitely there now I think about it.
Palate: Initially sweet, restrained, more of that bacon, but this time it's been cured with Muscovado sugar and maybe a touch of Juniper? Progresses through the inevitable onslaught of peat, but it's there in a slightly different way – more 'high', medicinal phenols than we've come to expect with Ardbeg. From the palate alone, I'm not even sure I'd peg this as Ardbeg – I might be tempted to go two distilleries further down the coast…
Finish: Long. Cocoa, Charred corners of a pulled pork butt, becomes more ashy as it fades, but clearly from good honest casks albeit with charred heads.
Overall: It's good. Funnily though, as the spirit's not being bombarded with finishes/extreme cask-techniques the difference between this and the 10yo is strangely pronounced. There are palpable elements of Bowmore, and Laphroaig in this dram, whilst it does absolutely retain the overall Ardbeg character we know and love. To my mind that's a good thing.

Since I'll be leaving town in a few days to help celebrate our grandsons collective birthdays-I thought I'd open this forum/blog up to talking about what foods make you think about Valentine's Day?
I shared what I will probably be doing this year to celebrate with my husband, but do you have a specific dish, color theme or recipe that makes or even breaks your thoughts on the day?
At acupuncture today, my therapist, who just received her degree in nutrition and has already begun work on her Master's in the subject laughed and said: I'm so busy with my studies, my internship and my practice, my husband will have to provide our Valentine's Day!
Of course she did share some ideas of what makes a "heart-healthy" enjoyment! Negin Rostam suggested using the ever-favorite "everything in moderation" meal. Nothing wrong with serving filet mignon (it is actually one of the leanest pieces of red meat)and even indulging further by wrapping it in a slice of bacon-just make sure you're recognizing the fat content and cut back on other possible "fat" indulgences.
Love to share chocolate dipped strawberries? Rostam suggests melting the very dark chocolate version and NOT adding high fat cream. "After all,dark chocolate is filled with anti-oxidants and flavinoids that help our hearts."
Vegetables? Even Dr. Oz loves promoting lots of delicious and colorful items. Try grilling or roasting red bell peppers with some purple onions for a different and tasty side dish.
Are you a lover of carbs (ok, who here is actually shaking their head no, cuz I for one will not be believing you)? Again, try some unusual versions! Ever try purple potatoes? Red potatoes with their skins on and either boiled and dressed with some chopped dill or rosemary and garlic? Even roasting either of these two versions are a fun and interesting change of pace.
Maybe you're more of a pasta person? Try a quinoa, spelt or even brown rice version. Serve with a nice red sauce.
You could ditch the red meat on the above idea and add some romance inducing oysters or clams to the sauce as well.
Now, until my return-share some new and interesting dishes for all areas of our upcoming holiday-even fun ones for those who are including our kids and grandkids in the day!
I'm usually home early from school on Tuesdays so I think I'll make a rack of lamb for Joe that evening. I was going to have him make dinner but I think I'll have time.
I work that day, so unless hubby takes me out, it's probably going to be something like frozen pizza or basic fried hamburgers and a can of green beans. I've never been big on valentine's day and romance is dead in this house, so I'm really in a ho-hum mood about it.
I do work that day but I will probably make chicken and veggie packets in the oven. Since my children and sister are here there will be no romance in my kitchen.
But hey..... Maybe if I serve them tons of pasta they will fall asleep early ............

If you have money to spare then you may own a super car or two, there are many collectors around the world who collect the world's very best cars and simply have to have the very latest Ferrari as soon as it has been designed. You may not be able to buy the most expensive car in the world but you may be able to find a very close second best. Whether you wish to take your Bugatti for a spin around the Monaco Grand Prix circuit or you just want to covet it and keep it safe in your private museum, these cars are prestigious.
Recently hailed as the best car in the world at the World Car of the Year Awards 2008, the Mazda 2 excelled in every category to edge out the Ford Mondeo and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
Starting with the exterior the Mazda 2 puts other so-called 'hot-hatches' to shame. The sleek and stylish curves make this award winning Mazda youthful and dynamic. This is not surprising seeing as the chief designer was also in charge of the sporty Mazda RX-8. The contours and lines in the body shape suggest that the Mazda 2 is ready for action; the sports version is even better with its 16 inch alloys and stylish body kit.
The interior keeps on form with the sporty theme and smart layout although it has been suggested that the plastic used for the dash could be better. The designers have made sure that there is plenty of space inside the 2 which is another plus with this supermini.
The new Mazda 2 is certainly not the most expensive car in the world, but it boasts being incredibly light and agile which is great for fuel consumption and for lowering your CO2 emissions. Out of all the cars entered into the World Car of the Year awards the Mazda 2 received the highest environment score of them all. This car is a great choice then if you are looking for a new engine that is friendly on the environment.read this post here!
The Mazda may be light, but safety has not been compromised. The use of high-tensile steel is the reason behind this and has resulted in the Mazda 2 being awarded a 5-star NCAP rating. The light-weight Mazda also means that it is easy to drive and is great for nipping around the town.
There are lots of different specifications to choose from which allows you to personalize the car to suit your own specific needs. You can choose from the 3-door or the 5-door and prices start at under 9000 GBP which is great, considering you are getting yourself the not the most expensive car in the world but instead, the "best car in the world." I know which I would prefer.visit full details from http://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-is-the-greatest-car-salesman-who-has-ever-lived-2016-10
Insurance costs are reasonable too which shows that the Mazda 2 is a good investment economically. The Mazda also comes is a range of colors from the sporty 'brilliant black' to the bright 'spirited green metallic.' Oh, and then there is the special edition Mazda 2 Tamura Special Edition to choose from which is even sportier with its sports bumper, grille and side skirts.
It is not surprising that the demand for the Mazda 2 has been so high considering its impressive environmental credentials combined with its stylish looks. With motorists becoming more aware of environmental issues when choosing a car the Mazda2 is a great contender and compared with other 'environmentally friendly' cars on the market the Mazda 2 wins on looks hands down. So, instead of always dreaming of the most expensive car in the world instead why not get behind the affordable best car in the world today?

Delpha M. (Severin) Kauti
Delpha M. (Severin) Kauti
Delpha M. Severin Kauti, 101 of Superior entered into eternal rest, peacefully at home on Sunday, November 5, 2017. Born April 3, 1916 in Minneapolis, MN, she was the oldest of sixteen children born to Emma (Royal) Severin and Peter Severin. As the oldest child, she became a caregiver for her brothers and sisters and at the age of 12, she started making homemade bread. She was an avid baker and was famous for her homemade bread, doughnuts, "fry-doughs", cinnamon rolls and many other homemade specialities. Thanksgivings and Christmas's were very special, being surrounded by family with wonderful homemade food. Her specialties were being a homemaker, a housewife and an entertainer. She loved playing cards and Farkle which she called, "Fargo".
She would often be found in the kitchen, with her apron on, making homemade goodies for family and friends to enjoy. She especially enjoyed time spent with family and her love of children grew more and more as 10 children were born to her and her late husband. Aside from entertaining, she was a caregiver to children, often babysitting her grandchildren, while also helping to raise a handful of them. Her fondness of children brought her the most joy! She even loved babies of people who she did not know. She played many roles, but, most of all, she was a wonderful mother.
Her caring nature and selflessness are her true legacy. She cared for others before herself. She was always a "happy-go-lucky" kind of gal with a smile from ear to ear and a boisterous laugh. Her faith, belief in God and loved-ones who passed were her "will" that kept her going for so long. She truly embraced the simple joys in life. Her humor and stories of the "good 'ole days" will be missed most by her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Preceded in death by her late mother and father, late husband; Leonard Kauti, two sons, Jack and Larry Kauti and 15 siblings.
She is survived by a sister, Barbara Bautch; daughters; Shirley Archaumbault, Jane (Lauren) Forstrom, Gail (Gordon) Abrahamson, Darlene (Ernest) Rein and Sharon (Rick) O'Brien, sons; Jim (Marilyn), Paul (Nancy) and Leonard "Sonny" (Debborah) Kauti; and many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren; having "five children with five generations". She also leaves behind "Peedee" a yellow canary and her "fur grand baby, Pepper".
A Celebration of Life will be held at the First Memorial Chapel/Cremation Society of Minnesota (4100 Grand Ave., Duluth, MN) on Saturday November, 18th with the wake starting at 9AM and service starting at 10AM with a gathering of family and friends to follow.
A special "Thank You" to her two daughters, Darlene and Sharon for the last 5 years of caregiving, her son, Sonny, her granddaughter, Starr, great-grandson Rhett and a special friend, Louis. The family would also like to extend their utmost gratitude for the staff at Hospice/Essentia Health-St. Mary's for the wonderful care received.

Speaking to New York University faculty and students recently, Craig Mundie, chief research and strategy officer at Microsoft Corp., unveiled details about a first-of-its-kind, multidisciplinary, multi-institutional gaming research alliance that will provide the fundamental scientific evidence to support games as learning tools for math and science subjects among middle-school students. The Games for Learning Institute (G4LI) is a joint research endeavor of Microsoft Research, New York University, and a consortium of universities. The partners include Columbia University, the City University of New York (CUNY), Dartmouth College, Parsons The New School for Design, Polytechnic Institute of NYU, the Rochester Institute of Technology, and Teachers College. The G4LI will identify which qualities of computer games engage students and develop relevant, personalized teaching strategies that can be applied to the learning process.
"Technology has the potential to help reinvent the education process, and excite and inspire young learners to embrace science, math and technology," Mundie said. "The Games for Learning Institute at NYU is a great example of how technology can change how students learn, making it far more natural and intuitive."
Microsoft Research is providing $1.5 million to the Institute. NYU and its consortium of partners are matching Microsoft's investment, for a combined $3 million. Funding covers the first three years of the G4LI's research, which will focus on evaluating computer games as potential learning tools for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects at the middle-school years (grades 6–8). The institute will work with a range of student populations, yet focus on underrepresented middle-school students, such as girls and minorities.
"Middle school is a critical stage for students, a time when many are introduced to advanced math and science concepts," said Ken Perlin, professor of computer science in NYU's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences and founding director of the Media Research Laboratory at NYU, who will direct the G4LI, to be located at NYU. "Many students become discouraged or uninterested and pour their time at home into gaming. Ironically, we think gaming is our starting point to draw them into math, science and technology-based programs."
Video games, with their popularity and singular ability to engage young people, are showing promise as a way to excite and prepare the Net generation, the current crop of students who have grown up on technology. This generation, though well-versed in using technology for social networking and Internet research, is continuing a decline in proficiency and interest in math and sciences — the very skills needed to prepare them for the new demands and requirements of the 21st century.
"While educational games are commonplace, little is known about how, why or even if they are effective," said John Nordlinger, senior research manager for Microsoft Research's gaming efforts. "Microsoft Research, together with NYU and the consortium of academic partners, will address these questions from a multidisciplinary angle, exploring what makes certain games compelling and playable and what elements make them effective, providing critically important information to researchers, game developers, and educators to support a new era of using games for educational purposes."
Jan Plass, associate professor of educational communication and technology at NYU's Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development, will co-direct the G4LI with Perlin. While NYU will serve as the hub of the G4LI in its Computer Science Media Research Laboratory at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, the multi-institutional organization will have a myriad of partner spokes. The G4LI also will evaluate game prototypes and introduce them, along with accompanying curricula, to an existing network of 19 New York City area schools; results in the classroom will be tracked. Based on the findings, the institute's goal is to expand its research and game development to all K–12 grades. Resulting scientific evidence will be shared broadly with researchers, game developers and educators.
Games for Learning Institute Builds on Previous Efforts
NYU and Microsoft Research bring years of experience in gaming for learning to the joint endeavor. NYU offers deep insight into the design principles that make effective educational games; innovative research methods to study the impact of digital media on learning; and frontline experience in integrating these materials into both classrooms and informal learning settings.
Through its Gaming Initiative, since 2004 Microsoft Research has invested more than
$3 million in gaming kits, assessment studies, academic funding and an academic sponsored event, the Academic Games and Computer Science Game Cruise. Last year, six academic researchers received funding and had access to game-related resources available from Microsoft including Visual Studio, XNA Game Studio and Microsoft "Flight Simulator" ESP. The G4LI will build on these efforts to help improve middle-school math and science skills.

The length from the center of the Euro-Mount to the center of the female Euro-Mount (receiving end) is 475mm. Like all of our off-sets, this arm is machined from solid block of aluminium. Additionally the Off-Set contains 6 x 3/8 inch camera-screw mounting threads. The Euro-Mount is machined from aircraft grade hardened aluminium.
We developed this Euro-Mount to rotate easily and release without tilting. Therefore it can also be used to steer the camera. The off set is machined from a solid block of aluminium and thus is able to withstand heavy loads. Just like all our aluminium products the Rotating Euro-Mount is hard coated, ensuring the maximum resilience.
With a scaffold adapter (48mm dia.) and 28mm connecting pin (stud) or 25mm connecting pin. The Euro-adapter and the extension for the scaffold adapter are machined from aircraft grade hardened aluminium, yet have the tensile strength of steel. Depending on your needs, the two stainless steel threaded studs are easily exchangeable.
All of our Euro-Mounts are made from hard-coated (anodized) aluminium. Bolted together with the connecting-plate, it becomes an extremely lightweight double ended Euro-adapter. You can purchase our Euro-adapters individually as well and order the connecting-plate (coupler) later.
Our safety disc is made from aluminium. It has beautiful ergonomic form and is therefore very easy to handle.

Animation explainer video is perfect for those areas of business where it is difficult to present and to sell a product through other types of video or promotional methods. For example, you develop websites or you're engaged in contextual advertising. Your explainer video should include information on target customers' problems, benefits of the company and its workflow, several cases with figures and so on. You have to admit that it's rather difficult to show traffic growth in video unless it's animated. Virtually any information can be visualized with the help of animated explainer videos – and this is its main advantage over real video. Is this right information about Animated sales explainer video? I didn't get the right solution.
please help.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Blanche was always part of the steering group. She was determined that our trees would get planted and she would have many years to enjoy watching them grow. Sadly, that wasn't to be.
We thought that the most appropriate spot for her bench would be in the middle of the wood, with the trees growing all around, but I think that we shall have to cut down of the nearby vegetation, before we have her total approval. She was a bit prickly about thistles!

Swimming along
This is another "quick card" for my daughters section of the finished cards bin. She always needs so many kiddie type birthday cards. Of course Little Miss C and Little Mr. P want to give their friends a handmade card with their gift!
I kept the colours bright and the card design fairly simple since this card will be going to a 5 year old little boy. Hopefully the little fellow will like it.
Little Mr P helped me create this one. He rolled all the Memory Box dies through my Big Shot and carefully cut and applied all the 2 sided tape. He even added the foam tape. He was very proud of himself I might add!
Here is a peek at the inside of the card. I like to place the diecut fairly high so there is room to sign on the actual card, below the die.
Card base and envelope - from my stash
Design paper - Paper Fever ; Tiny Bubbles Blue
Dies - Memory Box Loopy Rings and Big Splash Border
Dies - Spellbinder Petite Circles; Petite Scalloped Circles
Stamp - Stampin Up, Best Fishes
Stamp - Sentiment is Inkadinkado # 130609
I am entering this card in the following challenges:
1. Pixies Crafty Workshop - Must use snippets; the DP is snippets that are many years old. The blue card stock and the scrap of copic paper (and I mean scrap) were snippets as well.
2. Crafting when we can - # 39 Earth, Air, Fire, Water
3. Penny Black and More - One For The Boys
4. Stamping Sensations - The Great Outdoors
5. Simon Says Stamp- Anything Goes

Motor Vehicle Collision Involvement among Persons with Hemianopia and Quadrantanopia
AbstractPersons with homonymous quadrantanopia and hemianopia experience driving restrictions, yet there is little scientific evidence to support driving prohibition among persons with these conditions. This retrospective cohort study compares motor vehicle collision (MVC) rates among 27 current licensed drivers with hemianopic and quadrantanopic field defects, who were ≥6 months from the brain injury date with that of 27 age-matched drivers with normal visual fields. Information regarding all police-reported MVCs that occurred over a period of nine years was obtained. MVC rates per year and per mile travelled were calculated and compared using conditional Poisson regression. Drivers with hemianopia or quadrantanopia had more MVCs per mile driven compared to drivers with normal visual fields; specifically their overall MVC rate was 2.45-times (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.89–3.95) higher and their at-fault MVC rate was 2.64-times (95% CI 1.03–6.80) higher. This study indicates that drivers with hemianopia or quadrantanopia have elevated MVC rates. This is consistent with previous research despite studies showing wide individual variability from excellent to poor driving skills. Future research should focus on the functional and driving performance characteristics associated with superior driving skills and/or those that may be amenable to improvement via behavioral and/or engineering interventions.

Easy ways to make money and boost your income
Earn cash in your spare time
Money money money
They say money can't bring you happiness. This is of course true, everyone makes their own happiness. However, having money definitely gives you the opportunity to do more than you could without it. Wouldn't it be nice to have your monthly household bills covered and have excess money to spend on hobbies and loves? I think I just heard you shouting a firm YES to your computer screen. This is possible and if you read on I will tell you how.
It is simple to make money when you do something you enjoy. Many just get by in their day to day jobs because they merely have to. To provide for a family or keep bills up to date is a difficult thing and countless people force themselves to peel the covers away every morning and struggle on to a hard days work.
Not a single person doesn't dream of doing something they enjoy in life and getting paid for it. That is pretty much a dream come true and for many people it is possible. This requires determination, motivation and perseverance. However, that is a seperate subject. If you've had no luck in pursuing your dream career as of yet, there are ways to earn some money on the side so that you can continue to enjoy your hobbies in the knowledge that you have money to do so.
Working from home
Thousands of individuals are searching high and low for jobs that allow them to work in the comfort of their own home. Waking up, having breakfast and completing a job in your pyjamas is an exciting idea. With no boss and hours to suit you this is a fantastic way to earn money. Join SheToldMe here for an opportunity to showcase your work, earn 100% Google adsense revenue and boost traffic incredibly
But what are the options when working from home?
There are many choices available to those whom this idea appeals to. These include the following:
- Writing online. This is increasingly popular and many websites allow you to do so (including HubPages!) Benefits of this include the chance to express your opinion, develop skills and learn.
- Sell unwanted household products on sites like Ebay and Amazon.
- Create your own website and become an affiliate marketer. This means promoting other companies products on your content site and receiving a percentage of the commission.
- Typing and data entry
- Completing online surveys for money
There are many other choices that can be found on search engines and your local paper. You will be surprised at things that can be done from home with little effort! Reaping the rewards is very satisfying.
However it is crucial to remember that working from home requires discipline. Ensure you can discipline yourself to set hours, concentrate and not go off track. Focus all of your energy into your task and you should be fine.
If you want to discover more opportunities to make money from home, then visit my hub about how you can make money with Clickbank and USFreeads.
Arts, crafts and decluttering
The brilliant thing about this way of making money is that you have fun in doing so. Arts and crafts is an enjoyable way to put talents to good use and pass time. Not only this but things made from home such as clothing, handkerchiefs, jewellery boxes, jewellery, photoframes, etc, can make you plenty of money.
Sell these products in places like car boot sales or online stores. Even use your own website to sell your products, this could become a nifty little business! As time progresses you will find it easier to produce products in short periods of time and will notice an increase in your profits.
Buy materials in wholesale and get better profits from creating beautiful items with low price equipment. An alternative if you are not very handy is to declutter your wardrobe, drawers or attic and sell items in auctions or car boot sales. You never know how much you might get for an old vase or broach! Plus, you will have a tidy house with no mess!
Get paid to help others
It is always a delight to help other people. But did you know you could earn money from doing so? There are various options to consider, some will appeal to certain people more than others. However, there is something for everyone.
Ideas for helping others :
- Dog walking - if you love the company of an animal then why not walk your neighbours dogs? You can earn a nice little wage and the exercise is great!
- Laundry - many busy people do not have the time to do their own laundry on a regular basis. It is a great idea to help out and get paid for it.
- Cleaning - the same goes for cleaning. People who work long hours, have their own business or other commitments need a cleaner to tend to their household needs. This is great exercise and a good little earner!
- Tutoring - if you have the brains then this is the one for you. Being somebodies tutor gives you the chance to build a relationship and help someone succeed. Do it in your spare time and fit it around your schedule.
Do you have a talent?
Sharing your talent with the world is very rewarding. Getting paid for it is even better! Do not shy away, use it to the best of your ability and earn some money from it. Ideas of talents to implement into your spare time are listed below.
- Singing and acting - join a theatre or get a part-time job such as commercial work
- Voiceovers - getting paid for having a pleasant voice is a phenomenal thing. Reading a few lines can earn you quite a bit of money!
- Baking and cooking - cakes and edible products are always appreciated. Sell them in a bakesale.
- Beauty - do you know what is best for the skin, hair, nails, teeth? Share ideas with magazines or help people you know to get paid for it and feel great!
- Make-up - many young women want to look great for a night out and require a helping hand. Be that person who helps as people are willing to pay lots for this.
These are just some ideas to grasp and take action upon! You never know, it could turn into a full-time job and you might finally get the dream career you wished to pursue in the beginning! Good luck and spend those pennies wisely!
its graet idea for the easy to make money, its very useful thanks.
Great article with useful information. As with anything we do I think perserverance, determination and patience is required. I think when someone doesn't apply that they realized at some level that course of action wasn't right for them.
You did hear a loud YES from my computer!!!!!! A little bit more cash would translate into even more enjoyment in life. I like the tutoring idea. To help others and earn a little extra is a nice thought. Voted up and useful.
Happy to write the first comment. You have given great ideas for people who are interested. But I think the most important idea in the whole article is that you need the discipline to set your own schedules and follow it. Another great hub. voted up and useful. Good luck.

So, if you might fell something eerie or getting some uncertainties about the colour you picked out in the marketplace, using note as nicely of your complexion is a great factor for selecting your correct suit.

Check if you are an Alcohol ADDICT and just crossed the line
Here are the most imperative things to pay special mind to in yourself or your cherished one:
1. Lying About or Hiding Your Drinking – Denial is normal with individuals having issues with liquor, so both issue consumers and heavy drinkers may drink cryptically or lie about the amount they drink to make it appear like less of an issue. This can be difficult to spot for anyone yet the single person, because of its extremely nature, yet its a vital indication of a more major issue.
2. Drinking to Relax or Feel Better – Almost all individuals battling with enslavement ill-use their substance of decision for passionate reasons. Whether its push, sorrow, uneasiness or whatever else, utilizing liquor as a technique for facilitating negative emotions is a dangerous propensity the "alleviation" it gives is just provisional and it normally compounds the situation over the long haul. On the off chance that you drink more when you've had an unpleasant day or need a beverage to feel like you can truly unwind, its a major sign that you're utilizing liquor as a passionate prop.
3. "Passing out" Regularly – Drinking so much that you have no memory of what happened is an alternate warning for an issue with liquor. Basically, it implies you drank an excessive amount of. On the off chance that you discover this transpiring (or notice it transpiring else), you need to ask what is driving you to drink so unreasonably? You don't have to pass out to have a ton of fun, so what's the genuine reason?
4. Being Unable to Stop Once You Start – If you generally complete a jug of wine once its opened or drink all the lager in the house once you've had one, its an alternate sign you aren't in full control of your drinking and you may have an issue.
5. Dismissing Your Responsibilities – If you're having issues at work, school or with your family unit obligations on account of your drinking, you have an issue. Liquor has stepped over the threshold of acceptability from an infrequent liberality to something that genuinely affects your normal working.
6. Having the capacity to Drink More Than You Used To – Tolerance is an alternate key indication of compulsion, so in the event that you can drink more than you used to and need to drink more than you did before keeping in mind the end goal to get tanked, its an in number marker that you're turning into a dipsomaniac. It implies your body is presented to liquor consistently enough that it has adjusted to adapt to it better.
It's imperative to note that encountering only one of these signs doesn't essentially mean you're an issue consumer or a heavy drinker, yet in the event that you're encountering a couple of them (or you see various signs in a friend or family member), there is an extremely solid probability your drinking has gone too far. The recent five indications specifically are indications of dependence as opposed to issue drinking.

I've learned that not all living rooms are equal. I'm not one to play it safe when it comes to the living room. Finding the right balance of placement with furniture & accessories, then adding colorful printed fabrics, floor coverings, lighting and wall color can be one complex challenge. Might I add, one I'm always up for, but I constantly admire what others have done in their living rooms.
I love how the walls and major furniture pieces are white, and some brown & so very neutral, then pops of color with simple items that could easily be changed out. Image replacing the pinks with turquoise…there would be an entirely different feel. How about taking out the mustard and adding greens. Smart room design.
Red, white and blue…serious play on several prints, but with all the backgrounds being white on the major prints, they all easily work together nicely. The Lucite table is a fab touch, because it doesn't interfere with the prints it won't make the space feel too small. The large furniture pieces are solid and neutral in color. You can always change out the prints less expensively than the big ticket items.
As you can see everything is dark….walls and furniture, and the accessories can be anything now!
Leopard is a major print and on the sofa, that is a commitment, but by keeping everything else simple and a neutral color scheme, a bold print works well. I'm a little jealous….totally love to have this sofa.
White walls and black and white thick striped floor with neutral furniture work well. Since the floor doesn't have a shinny finish, it gives a casual feeling. The plaid yellow chair works as yellow always goes with black and is playing off the shades. This plaid is larger in scale making it less stuffy.
White walls keep the balance between all the colorful prints, art, and accessories. The solid deep colored drapes are hanging at such a large scale, they really balance room's busy prints.
The cream layers give this room a cozy feel, while the silvery sideboard, fixture, Lucite table and metal arm on chair give a modern feeling. Light mauvy drapes in a light fabric add femininity to the room that creates balance.
The flooring, most walls and sofa are white and the layers of colorful printed fabric pop as does the accent bright wall. An all bright color pallet with the dated floral prints give a bohemian vibe.
Brown tones are at the core of this design. Green and orange always work well together, and I love how the giant art has a modern scale but still feels warm. The silver chair is also modern. Due to the colors and furniture styles, this room really has a Mad Men vibration.

What An Appraisal Means Exactly
An appraisal is simply a valuation given to a property that will assist buyers, sellers and lenders.

|Moral Orel Intro Screen
(7/28/2017) --- Recently Cartoon Network Adult Swim block started to air Morel Orel again, it is quite odd that the show gets some exposure every now and then, but the last time that the show aired was in 2008 and was placed on air again maybe four years ago, in between the last term of President Obama and then the show was sent to obscurity; but why is important today, as of 2017 Moral Orel as show?.
The reason is simple, within the 45th Presidency on the run the voices of the religious right and white supremacy groups got a voice; much as within Statesota have them as the common majority. The second and most important reason on why this show is more important tan ever, as well having a voice as Dino Stamatopoulos is because no matter who you are, what dogma or philosophy you belief if you can fight against the injustices within the system, you can create a change.
|Riley and Huey Freeman
Today we can see essentially a mixture of the life of Moral Orel and the Boondocks more openly in America due the showcase of social media and traditional media that show the disparity between the Caucasian middle-class opposite to the minorities that on a social historical setting had been relegated to a second plane of exposure towards social stability and economical growth.
Moral Orel and The Boondocks have common topic as it was mentioned before, but it's taken from different perspectives while on the Boondocks is more blunt towards the difficult life young African Americans have, on Moral Orel there is the perspective that many young white men are oblivious to the realities that anyone that is not from their "clique" are facing. We can see today much of this reality with the division caused by the 45th Presidency and how the 44th Presidency was a catalyst to show the difference as many people were divided between the disparities.
On a personal level I had a former co-worker who was also a former friend who said that there was no such thing, and that the media was ignoring when white men were murdered, again on a personal level I have another friend who is part from a grassroots movement in Tampa named Restorative Justice Coalition which has taken the view into checking from different crimes regards the person background so justice can be brought as well to bring a change in the system.
What is the difference between my two acquaintance? The first one blames the media and that person was closed to other people realities, that person started to blame African American people for "they" own fault, for the fault "they" had on "they" life and family. That former friend couldn't see that to make a difference except the blaming and falling into conspirator theories that were blaming into the African American youth and why they were chasing white families.
That first former friend was much as a hypothetical Orel Puppington father Clay, that former friend blamed everyone else except the action that friend could had taken to improve the critical thinking and social interaction, but it never happened.
The second friend, learned from the experience and started to see that there are paths to create a change, paths to activism such as Huey Freeman instead of blaming everyone else, that friend saw strategies for change. I do not know if the cartoons influenced also their lives but I see the parallelism between the two individuals and the two cartoons.
Media influence can be acted as a positive or negative influence channel, but media wise on products that speak to a certain demographic can create a positive outlook in someone, even inspire to find a path of change and growth. Some media channels as Fox News or The Blaze can bring a negative impact on how the international and federal realities are perceived and they do not offer anything to contrast except that some circles of thought are closed in their own thoughts to expand.
Not all conservator media is bad, National Review can offer a more neutral point of view on the conservator commentary, it can offer a look that is not seen on popular channels such as Fox. We have to see that there are two points and an in-between for any ideological thought and how it's executed on the practice.
Why we need cartoons and satire as Moral Orel and The Boondocks more than ever? Because with the social and political changes, we need voices that express their discomfort towards social and economical inequality and the paths we as a society can take to improve the life of us as a collective.

The Romaine Lettuce, Cimmaron
I have to confess to extreme bias with this SEED OF THE DAY review because I LOVE this lettuce. I think of it as the perfect lettuce. Cimmaron, AKA Little Leprechaun, Rouge d'Hiver, Red Winter and Deep Red, has been grown in American gardens since the 1840s. Romaine lettuce is so named because it was a favorite of the Romans who found the lettuce on the Greek island of Cos. This lettuce produces a beautiful burgundy or bronze colored leaf with bright pink veins. I think it should be picked young when its color is the most vibrant. It is incredibly cold hardy and yet it is also very heat tolerant. It will be the last lettuce in your garden to bolt in the summer and one of the first to produce in the spring. Because of the color and the shape of the leaves, it is very ornamental and does well when planted in pots or as a border plant. Cimmaron is truly an oldie, but goodie!
Note: I love this lettuce. It makes a frequent appearance in my garden and my salad bowl. It is probably my favorite of the romaine type lettuces, followed by its close second in my book – Bloody Warrior (I'll tell you about Bloody Warrior in another post). I first encountered this lettuce here in Alaska, in my garden, quite by accident. Earlier in the year I ordered a special blend of lettuce seed from (another) seed company. Seeing that the single packet price was $3, but that I could get a 1/4 pound bag for $14, I ordered the big bag. Those of you more familiar with lettuce seed than I was at the time are probably already laughing. But, a few days later the seed company called and said that the lettuce seed I had ordered was no longer available. Then came the line that should have told me something was wrong with the amount I had ordered. "But, since you're the first farmer in Alaska to order from us this year, could we send you a different, even more cold-hardy bag to test for us? It's all red-lettuce types, and should be great for your location. Just grow it, journal it, and send us your notes and we'll send it for free." Never able to resist a free bag of seeds, I said yes.
When they arrived, I realized that there were enough seeds in the packet to seed a three acre plot. So, I gave it to everyone I knew. I walked around town dropping seeds into planters in the park. I kept it cold and grew from it year after year. In fact, I still do. And in that mix of delightful seeds is the aforementioned Cimmaron. And Bloody Warrior. And Lolla Rossa. And Mascara. And…well, way too many to list. It makes a wonderful leaf lettuce mix when harvested young, but I always like to let a few of the Cimmaron lettuces reach maturity for a truly beautiful read leafed salad. I strongly encourage you to order some today.
Just, perhaps, not 1/4 pound of it.

- MissFlipFlops
- 8 years ago
- Wedding: February 2009
Oh how do I make this as short as possible? Well lets see first off, my husband got hired into the company he works for a little over a year ago. This job as been a lifesaver for us! Decent pay, benifits, 401k, piad vacation time, raises and even a Christmas bonus this year. Needless to say I would cut off my right arm before I let my husband leave or lose this job. This past Spring he transferred from one side of the state to the other so we could be more close to my family. Still all with this company. He is looking to move up the poll soon and get a better paying posistion. Hes been eyeing it for some time now. His old boss loved him and thought that he would do just fine if the job ever opened up. (And this boss isn't a push over. I met her once and she came acrossed as VERY intimidating and by the book like) She gave a good reccomendation to the new boss and that was that.
We have been here now for about 6 months. In that time the new boss he had when he first moved here as since left. She also thought that if the job my husband wants ever opened up that he would be fit for it. She even said she wrote that in his file for the new lady who got hired in. Well about 2 months ago the newest boss comes along. In the first 3 weeks she fires one of the office ladies who seemed to be the hardest working lady they had and had been with the company for 4 years. No one know the full story of why the office lady got fired but they do know that she is now filing a complaint. Also in the first month that the newest boss was here, one of the men who has the job my husband really wants transferred elsewear leaving that job open. Before the guy left he trained my husband on things he felt he needed to know and gave him a heads up on everything about that job. My husband was sure he was finally going to get it. I was too.
Ok now for the loser whos trying to get my husband fired. This guy is the one that every office in America has. The slacking/lying/know it all but knows nothing/loser who trys to steal everyones ideas and make it his own. No one at my husbands job can stand this guy. They all warned my husband about him when he was transferred in and said to beware of the loser. Well unlucky for my husband he has to work with this guy for most of the day, everyday. Hes always using my husbands ideas and then running to the boss like its his own but still manages to hardly get anything done during the day. For some reason though, this new boss really likes this guy. That irriates the crap out of my husband. Well anyways when this new job opened up my husband (stupidly!) told this loser about it. So of course the loser says hes gonna go for it too. Well instead of the new boss saying that my husband deserves this because he has two other bosses who know that hes been working towards it and would do good at it, she pretty much makes my husband and the loser compete for a week for it. All in the mean time she is still taking applications from men on the street for it. When it came down to it she hired some guy in off of the internet and told my husband she just didn't feel he was fit. GRRRRR…..! I was sooo pissed!
Fast forward to this past week. The loser is still being…well a loser and yesterday my husband didn't do something exactly like the loser wanted so the loser runs to the boss and crys to her. (He has a tendancy to lie so he could of lied to her too). This morning the boss calls my husband into her office to tell him that he needs to do stuff her way and that the loser was right. She also accused him of being absent on the job saying "she couldn't find him anywhere yesterday to tell him to come into work early this morning". She told the loser to come in early which gave him overtime. My husband has been asking the boss for any overtime since day one. Both the loser and the boss have my husbands number to call him and let him know of stuff. During my husbands lunch I got a little mad at him (more because I was mad at her) and told him to just keep his mouth shut and do things the losers way. We CANNOT affored to lose this job. And I KNOW she knows that!
Well the absolute newest problem: Another guy from the office who has the job my husband really wants put in his two weeks about a week ago. The ONLY reason my husband knew this was because I found the job posting on the companies website which means that his boss didn't even have the class to let my husband know the job is open again. Instead she goes straight to hiring someone else. Then when my husband asks her about it she just pretty much said that he won't do good at it and wont get it. Today I look and the posting is down which means shes hired a new guy. I'm not sure what to tell my husband what to do about his boss or the loser.
Does any bosses or anyone knowledgable in situations like this have any advice? I'm so afraid she is just a mean spirited person looking to fire him for any reason. Shes young about 32 years old and doesn't seem to be the most professional of people. I really just want to punch her and the loser in the face! Grrrr and cry =(

The Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association, Saanie Daara says Ghanaians must be pleased with the team's performance at the Africa Cup of Nations despite failing to win the ultimate.
According to the GFA officials, Ghanaians are too demanding of the Stars.
Speaking on Peace FM's morning show "Kokrokoo" Mr Daara said Ghanaians must be content with the performance of the Black Stars.
"Though this was not the kind of performance we all expected I still think the team did not do bad, it is the matter of fortune," he said.

"Senegal, Algeria, Ivory Coast could not excel and these were team's tipped to win the competition.
"DR Congo is a top side in Africa and we were able to beat them. The Black Stars could not qualify for the World Cup during my time as a journalist but the team has been consistently at the competition in the past few years."
The Black Stars failed to win any silverware at the just ended AFCON in Gabon, extending Ghana's trophy drought to 37 years.

Short course for humanism.
This is a short essay for those who would like to understand what humanism is all about. It is for those who have short attention spans and don't like to read a lot.
The first thing is that it is not about "I don't want to go to church" or any non belief system.
We believe in the scientific method and critical thinking. With those methodologies we (collectively) have discovered:
The universe is very large. And it is very old. As far as anyone can tell there is no purpose to any of it.
We are carbon based life forms. Our genetics guide us in wanting to survive and reproduce.
None of us decided we wanted to be born. We will all die. How we spend the time in between is only partially open to control. Our society imprints a lot of our actions.
With all that said, (to use a current catch phrase) it would be helpful to have the following mind set:
Parents and villages raise us, they feed, clothe, and educate us. We owe them a debt.
We are not separate individuals. We are social creatures. Our needs go beyond simple food, clothes, and shelter. We aspire to fulfill our total potential.
In order to survive we must change our economic system and out ideology to include full awareness of our total dependency on the environment.
That, in less that 250 words, is humanism is all about.
The implications are truly revolutionary for the status quo.
For those who desire more detailed expositions there is a reading list in www.hamtn.org which can be downloaded from this web site.
