The third grader is in good spirits even though she almost lost her life in a terrifying pit bull attack. She and her family wanted to tell the story Tuesday with the hope that other dog owners will pay attention and do their best to prevent dog attacks.
Cierra Anyaso was smiling Tuesday even though her left leg is bandaged up with more than 30 stitches. Friday, as she was getting off the school bus in the 1300-block of Cecilia in Joliet, a pit bull charged her and her friend.
"I was walking home and even when I turned around the dog was right there, and went after me, and grabbed my hood, and then kind of like got my coat, kind of like fell off of me, and then I tried to run but then it got my leg, and then it kept pushing me around," Cierra said.
Cierra, who only weighs 75 pounds, says the dog would not let go of her leg. Some of the bites were so deep they went all the way down to the bone.
"I kept saying help, help, but my friend just standing there crying," said Cierra.
Fortunately, a man driving by saw what was happening. He jumped out of his car, scared the pit bull away, and took Cierra to her home. She was rushed to Provena Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet, where doctors were able to save her leg. Her nurse even gave Cierra a new stuffed animal she named "Joe."
"I thank God for placing him there. And I believe God chose her because she is a strong young lady. And I believe he knew she would be the one to overcome the situation. And that is why she has," said Ardis Johnson, mother.
Cierra's parents both work for the Illinois Department of Corrections. Their insurance will cover most of her medical bills, but they will likely be looking at some out-of-pocket expenses.
"She may need cosmetic surgery, depending on the care down the road, some therapy and then really counseling. So, it could get up there," said Vince Anyaso, father.
Her father says he hopes dog owners will pay attention to Cierra's story and keep their pets under control.
"I feel it's not necessarily bad dogs, but bad owners," said Vince Anyaso, father.
As for the man who came to Cierra's rescue, her family is still trying to figure out who he is. The third grader has a message for him.
"Thank you very much," Cierra said.
Will County Sheriff's Police tracked down the pit bull and the owner. He declined to go on camera Tuesday, but police say he had the dog put down on his own. Cierra's family says the owner has been very apologetic and cooperative. So far he has not been charged.
Cierra will be in the hospital recovering for the next two weeks.

King and queen
Buijs Brothers Shipbuilders were visited by the Dutch King and Queen. The subject of the conversation was 'The strength of the Krimpenerwaard'. The Krimpenerwaard comprises a number of municipalities in the province of South Holland, where our company is located. What is going well and where are the challenges? How do we involve young people in the manufacturing industry?
It was a wonderful experience to 'taste' the involvement of our King and Queen in the business in the Krimpenerwaard.
The visit of our royals was a unifying factor in connecting schools and companies to each other. New contacts were made, which has inspired us towards future cooperation.

Fourth Commandment.
Remember the Sabbath day!
Fourth Commandment.
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. (Exodus 20:8:11; Deuteronomy 5:12-15).
On the seventh day God rested from all His work which He had done. "Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it He rested from all the work of creating that He had done." (Genesis 2:2).
The Sabbath is God's memorial, pointing men to their Creator, who made the world and all things that are therein.
Our true Sabbath or rest is in Jesus Christ; only in Him we are allowed to enter that rest about which is written in Hebrews 4:9. "There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God."
In the same way as God finished His work, and then rested from it, so He will cause those who believe, to finish their work, and then to enjoy their rest.
In Matthew henry's Comentaries we can read – "It is evident, that there is a more spiritual and excellent sabbath remaining for the people of God, than that of the seventh day, or that into which Joshua led the Jews. This rest is, a rest of grace, and comfort, and holiness, in the gospel state."
But God wants for us to rest and to renew our physical strength. Believers who are in Christ must keep one day Holy also in order to escape danger of idolatry.
On the day of our rest He wants may we always "remember" that He alone is God and Creator, He alone is to be worshiped.
In Isaiah 58: 13-14 God says – "If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath and from doing as you please on my holy day, if you call the Sabbath a delight and the LORD's holy day honorable, and if you honor it by not going your own way and not doing as you please or speaking idle words, then you will find your joy in the LORD, and I will cause you to ride in triumph on the heights of the land and to feast on the inheritance of your father Jacob." The mouth of the LORD has spoken."
All of us must "delight in our LORD." We must take rest and offer our minds, bodies and souls as holy sacrifice to Him. (Romans 12:1). The truth is that our souls can find rest only in Him.
"For anyone who enters God's rest also rests from their works, just as God did from His." (Hebrews 4:10).
The true Sabbath we can attain, understand and enjoy, when we have true relationship with God.
If we truly love the Lord our God with all our heart and with all our soul and with all our mind than we will find pleasure in spending time with Him. And funnily enough is that if you more time spent with God, more time is given. That is beyond understanding but true.
Dear friend, every successful relationship demands time whether it is collegial relationship, friendship, or marriage, or any other. It demands time, courtship, patience and faithfulness. How much more we must spend our time with God knowing how far we are from Him. Without spending time with Him we always will be living defeated lives without rely knowing what that excellent rest is. On our Sabbath we spend time with Him and learn to walk in the ways pleasing Him.
"This is what the LORD says: "Maintain justice and do what is right, for my salvation is close at hand and my righteousness will soon be revealed. Blessed is the one who does this-- the person who holds it fast, who keeps the Sabbath without desecrating it, and keeps their hands from doing any evil." (Isaiah 56:2).
As the last is God wants may we know His will and rest from our evil works. He wants may we already now begin to enjoy the eternal rest in Jesus Christ. Jesus is the fulfilment of everything. Jesus is our Sabbath.
We must to stop to work ourselves up toward God and start to enjoy freedom from the sin and Satan; we must start to enjoy eternal Sabbath right now. Hebrews 4:11.
God wants for us to be just and right in all our ways and in all our thoughts, even He knows how hard it is to keep it. He wants for His children to take proper rest, but if we fail than we thank Him, praise Him and say the same what Paul said: -
"But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ in all our ways, deeds and thoughts, as we love Him".

Week #1 of Ajax Downs 2015 is in the books and we head on to our second card of the year. Today we have seven races, highlighted by two trials to the Picov Maturity and two splits of the $20,000 QROOI Ontario Sired Maiden Overnight Stakes. First post is at 12:55. Here are my selections for today's card.
Race 1: 2-5-7
Welcome to Day #2 of the 2015 season at Ajax Downs! #2 SILKS ARISING won two in a row at the end of 2014, a maiden and a Speed Index race, posting speed figures that make him tough in this group. He has hit the exactor in five of his nine career starts. #5 THATSALOTOFSUGAR was a winner last week in an Ontario Sired maiden. The timer malfunctioned, but the unpublished hand time was 12.31 for the 220 yards. She has a fitness edge coming into this race with a start under her belt, and she is a winner at today's distance. Certainly one to consider, especially if the 7-1 estimate holds true. #7 IM AQUICKTRICK had a good 2 year old season, winning twice and qualifying to two Futurities, and now gets to face older horses. She has the highest class rating of the field, and this is a good spot for a young horse to have a chance at beating older right off the bat. The Daily Double starts here.
Race 2: 4-1-6
This race kicks off the early Pick 3. #4 EYESA ZOOMN had a great campaign last year, winning three of his five starts here at Ajax. He's a proven older horse who rarely throws a poor effort with no excuse. Note that Shanley Jackson, a top rider from Indiana and Hialeah, is named to ride. #1 OURFIRSTORPHAN made his seasonal debut last week, but had some trouble at the break and couldn't recover. He's the highest earner of the field, with over $115,000 in the bank, and can get a cleaner break from the rail post. #6 CHANNELISLANDSFLYER has hit the board in 18 of his 26 starts. He was just outnodded for the win last week, and he was very close to many wins last year. He's a very tough horse to leave out.
Race 3: 5-6-1
Race 3 is the first of two trials for the Picov Maturity. #5 SM CHICKS N GARTERS makes Ajax debut after campaigning in Oklahoma. He's a classy sort, coming close to Stakes wins at Will Rogers and Remington. Note that in last year's Jack Brooks Stakes at Remington, he finished about a neck behind a horse named Houdini, who went on to win the G1 Rainbow Derby and finishing third in the G1 All American Derby at Ruidoso Downs. #6 ONE FAMOUS GLASS is one of the most consistent horses in Ontario, winning a pair of Stakes, and going down to Remington last spring and proving himself capable down there. He probably should have been very close in last year's Alexander Picov Memorial Championship but had some bad luck at the break. He's simply one of Ontario's best Quarter Horses. #1 PIRANHAAA ended the 2014 season with a third place finish in the Alexander Picov Memorial Championship. He seems to be improving with age and may be one of the top older horses this year.
Race 4: 4-1-5
Race 4 is the second of two trials for the Picov Maturity, and the start of the $.20 Pick 4. #4 FIRST DOWN THE TRACK ended 2014 in great form, with a second in the Alexander Picov Memorial Championship and a win over One Famous Glass in an allowance race. She worked from the gate on May 11 and looked great. I'm expecting a big effort out of her here. #1 MITFORD looks to defend his title in the Picov Maturity. He's been one of the toughest horses in Ontario since coming here in 2013, but occasionally posts a even start. He worked a bullet on May 4 prepping for this. A serious threat. #5 VARSITY LACE is a bit of an off and on type, but when she's on she's capable of being competitive with these types of horses. Last year she raced well against Mitford, First Down the Track, Country Box Deluxe, The Fdd Map and other tough horses. Use her in your exotics.
Pick 4: 4/2,3,5/2,7/8,9,10 $3.60 for $.20
Race 5: 3-5-2
#3 SITUATION CRITICAL was very even in her first few starts, but got really good down at Hialeah over the winter, ending the South Florida meet with a dominant maiden win. Shanley Jackson, who won with her at Hialeah, is named to ride. #5 LEXIA won last year's Ajax Maiden Challenge, but came up evenly in a NW3 allowance where she was fractious. She returns in the NW2 class with a quick 220 yard breeze on May 4th. #2 SHADASHA came up to Ajax last year to take a try at the Maiden Challenge, finishing second in the trial and fourth in the final. Since then she's put in some good efforts in Iowa and Oklahoma, including a maiden $15,000 claiming win at Prairie Meadows. Perhaps she can turn the tables on Lexia this time. The Late Pick 3 starts here.
Race 6: 2-7-4
Race 6 is the first division of the $20,000 Ontario Sired Maiden QROOI Overnight Stakes. #2 JESS MR EWING showed promise as a two year old, finishing second in a trial and finishing third in the Ontario Sired Futurity. If he's the same horse he was last year, I'd have to think he's the best horse in this field. #7 GRASSHOPPER FLATS debuted in a trial for the Alex Picov Memorial Futurity, finishing fourth behind multiple Stakes winner Jumping Guitar, and tough allowance runner Fiesty Icon. He didn't run after that, and has moved from the Ward barn to the Reid barn. This gelding has potential moving forward. #4 CARAWAYS ZOOMTO FAME may have an edge in this field as the only 4 year old and the only horse with a start this year in the field. I'm having a tough time seeing him winning, he's still a maiden after 13 tries, but I do think he'll perform well enough. The Late Double is offered here.
Race 7: 9-8-10
Race 7 is the second division of the $20,000 Ontario Sired Maiden QROOI Overnight Stakes. #9 RANDOM AUDIT had some issues at the beginning of 2014, but was very close to winning on several occasions come the last two months of the meet. She has experience facing older horses, while most of the field doesn't. She should be tough. #8 DINAHLICIOUS finished second in her career debut behind Sassy N Ready, who went on to qualify for (before being vet scratched from) the Ontario Sired Futurity. There is upside here. #10 NO MORE SUGAR TONITE hasn't been particularly notable thus far in her career, but she's another with experience against older horses. Her work coming into this race was good. She has a chance at a mild upset here.
Good luck to everyone playing today!

Ever made too much Chilli con Carne and then wondered what to do with the rest? I always make too much and have come up with all manner of things to do with it!
You can stretch it out further by adding a few other tasty bits and bobs, such as tomato, spring onion, jalapeno peppers and cheese - you must have cheese! This particular concoction of mine even uses up the odd tortilla wrap you might have floating about somewhere too!
Please note the serving dish you use must be able to go into the oven.
I started with a tortilla wrap and put it in the bottom of the dish.
Make sure you heat the chilli through first, then add it along with jalapeno peppers from a jar and sliced spring onions:
Now you can add sliced tomato and cheese, crack and egg into the middle:
Drizzle with a little olive oil, sprinkle with black pepper or a pinch of chilli powder.
Pop into a preheated oven for about 15 minutes (until the egg has set) then serve straight away:

SAO PAULO, Brazil — Bruna Aparecida smiled carefully at her absorption as a beautician snipped the aftermost strands of her beeline hair. Her arch was crowned with curls.
"I didn't apperceive myself after beeline hair," said Aparecida, 27, wacclimated actinic relaxers for about a decade afore chief to go natural. She acclimated to be the alone atramentous woman at the coffer area she works whad coiled hair. Today, she is one of six.
"It's all the acerbity this year," she said. "Many of my accompany are accomplishing it."
Black and amber Brazilians accomplish up added than bisected of the country's population, but you wouldn't apperceive it by attractive at the adorableness industry. Brazil's avant-garde hair-straightening treatments, awash about the world, accept continued chased white standards of beauty. Ten years ago, it was not abnormal to acquisition robed women arranged into a allowance at a salon, accoutrement their mouths with rags to abstain inhaling fumes, while hairdressers abolished their locks in formaldehyde for a pin-straight look. Now, a growing cardinal of atramentous Brazilians are ditching the beard straighteners and all-embracing their curls.
The improvement of accustomed beard has mirrored a acceleration in atramentous empowerment in Brazil. The cardinal of Brazilians anecdotic as atramentous grew 15 percent in four years, according to the 2016 census. Meanwhile, aggressive by the cine "Black Panther," Afrofuturism — a movement that explores a affected eyes of Africa and the African banishment — has taken off, with movies, plays and music featuring atramentous protagonists.
Yet ancestral asperity actuality charcoal stark. The boilerplate bacon for a white aborigine is about 50 percent college than for a atramentous citizen.

Testing, Testing, 2.35
It was time to replace the old Racing Ralph that wrapped the 29ers rear wheel - the tread had been worn pretty smooth along the center and at least one knob was completely sheared away. It was starting to get flats. The tire to be replaced was a 29 x 2.25, already quite hefty for a rather standard XC, hardtail bike, but I thought I would try pushing things just a bit further by upsizing to 29 x 2.35. Turns out that is just about all this frame is going to handle; another good smack against a rock, and another degree out of true and it won't spin between the stays at all.
Why the bigger size, anyway? I don't know exactly, but the increased contact surface and correlative positive impact on comfort and traction were certainly not being overlooked. So, where to give it a good test run? Bonelli, of course. We have had a few dry days now between rainstorms so I knew I would be able to find nice long dry stretches of trail, mixed with great big puddles and mud wallows.
Verdict: The new tire - Kenda Slant Six Pro is very similar to what it has replaced - just slightly larger. It rode excellently where the riding surface was dry or tacky. Once the mud became sticky, however, that lack of clearance was very noticeable. I figured the build-up between the outside treads would eventually clear if I continued to ride, and while little missiles of mud did fly off other areas of the tire, globs along the outside fringes of the tread held firm, rubbing against the stays. I stopped three times to clear it by hand and glove, before I was satisfied.
Keep in mind this is not a critique of the tire per-se; it is more a caution against choosing a tire that may be too large under certain conditions (even the old 29 x 2.25 bogged down in extreme mud). We, fortunately (or not?) live in a location that is dry most of the year, and where the tire will (and did this first time) perform quite well. As intended. Throw a little sticky mud into the mix, though, and I may find myself wishing for a smaller size.

Concert Review: Milo Grene @ Lincoln Theater
This marks a first for Rarity in Form; I'm reviewing an opening band. I believe, unequivocally, that Milo Greene will be the next big thing, and very soon. I had originally come to see The Civil Wars (review coming), who was headlining for the night, but after doing my homework, I was just as excited to see Milo Greene.
They were incredible, end of story. I have never seen so many concert goers awed and speechless following a performance. After their set, the intermission lobby was buzzing on Milo. Eager new fans rushed the merch table to meet the band and grab their EP. I am guilty of lingering to catch a glimpse of the multi-talented and breathtaking Marlana Sheetz. It's not fair that few expected that type of performance but it was all made up for at the end of the set as the audience rose to give the band a standing ovation. Unheard of for an opening band. This was a special moment for the group and the audience could feel it.
Milo Greene's set showcased the four tracks from this year's EP, The Hello Sessions. 1957 and Silent Way are perfect examples of the strength and potential of this band. Their sound is so cohesive and addicting. On stage, Milo Greene is a continuous back and forth chess match. Minus the drums, just about every band member gets a crack at their instrument of choice and even lead on the vocals. I'm not 100% on this, but I'm pretty certain that Marlana played three instruments in one song, now that's some talent.
The surprise of the set came midway when Milo Green busted out an amazing cover of Sufjan's Chicago. My days will now be spent scouring the internet for a copy of the cover.
Bottom line, you have to see Milo Greene live. I can't wait for them to come back around as headliners. Check out my previous post to listen to Milo Greene's EP.
Live song from Lincoln Theater after the jump!!!
Milo Greene – The Hello Sessions
If you do one thing tonight/this week/this year, it should be to listen to Milo Greene. Their songs are draped with ever changing, layered harmonies that will leave you lost in the moment of sound. Milo Greene's debut EP, The Hello Sessions, is made up of four diverse songs that impact a still and deep feeling that lingers long after the songs are over. I am left wondering what I was doing for the past four minutes after each song.
1957 shows off the talents of female vocalist and guitarist, Marlana Sheetz, and is easily one my favorite indie folk songs of this year. Silent Way is laid out beautifully by the drooping banjo plucking and intermittent violin while the chorus repeats, longingly, "When we're older can I still come over?".
Milo Greene has the great privilege of touring with the infections Civil Wars this fall in what will be a must-see concert. And aren't we so lucky that they will be hitting the area twice! I already have my tickets to the DC show so get yours fast because dates are quickly selling out
- Saturday Oct. 22 @ The Jefferson Theater; Charlottesville,VA
- Sunday Oct. 23 @ The Lincoln Theater; Washington D.C.

Houston, TX (PRWEB) October 03, 2013
Hangout Marketing Challenge, a controversial marketing course that is certainly making waves in the world of Internet Marketing by promising to increase traffic flow to a website a hundredfold using Google products alone has caught the attention of MarketersBlueprint.com's Stan Stevenson, prompting an investigative review.
"Hangout Marketing Challenge is all about is the all new 'Social Influence Engine." It's nothing to do with SEO, social media marketing, or email swap marketing. If you want to expand, you need to improve your visibility on Google, and by using this program, you're doing just that," reports Stevenson. "All of your current SEO and other marketing efforts are pretty much already based around ranking in the giant that is Google, which is only set to gain even more of a majority as the months roll by."
The Hangout Marketing Challenge review shows it offers information about the different ways of marketing on Google, the largest global search engine used by all users, or more importantly, potential purchasers. Google Hangouts is by far the fastest, easiest, and most reliable way to dramatically expand one's online exposure without spending money on advertising. Commonly used Google features such as Search, Images, Maps and more are totally relevant to giving Internet marketers more (free) exposure. Gmail, YouTube, News, Drive, and Calendar are only some of the other ways that Google literally drives traffic to a website.
"Hangout Marketing Challenge provides you with that all-important Google exposure. You don't need to waste any more of your valuable time or money on SEO, social media marketing or email swaps," says Stevenson. "Every part of this program is presented to you in plain English, which even the technophobes among us can understand. One of the Co-Instructors of Hangout Marketing Challenge, Mr. Mandossian along with the other co-instructor and Curriculum Director, Yifat Cohen has taken the wonder that is Google (and Google Hangouts) and perfected a method that uses all of Google's many products and literally manipulates them to drive traffic to your website."
"If you need to get the word out about your business or product, then you can take full advantage of Hangout Marketing Challenge to get maximum exposure for your website. By taking advantage of it right now, at the beginning, you're likely to be there to pick up that crest of a wave and ride it right the way to those riches you've always dreamed of. Utilizing the process that Hangout Marketing Challenge shows you literally increases the audience to your product or business by the hundreds of thousands. The course shows you exactly how to do just that, right from the easy start up to the most intricate of extra tips and tricks to generate and drive traffic to your website."

Well I attended the out of hours app only to be told by the doctor that he could not access all of my records only a limited amount. He said he could not prescribe the pregabalin even though he could see that I had been given it twice before, he said he needed more "evidence" of why I was asking for it.... Seems the note from A&E was not enough ??? After much deliberation and my husband explaining again the pain I was in and how unwell I have been since trying not to take meds the doc finally gave me a perscription for 2 weeks and said I need to make an app to see my doctor..... this is what I had tried to do in the first place so frustrating and having to go out at 9pm at night is ridiculous!
Anyway started the meds again so hopefully they will kick in over the next few days..... got pain in ribs, chest, arms, legs, and spine oh and a headache.... My hubby says that the only place that never seems to stop working is my mouth. 😀

Do you think you have the capability to take great photographs? Would you like to find out how to hone your photographic skills? You have found the right article if that is what you want. All of this tips in this article will help you improve your photography skills.
When you finally find that perfect moment to snap a shot, make sure not to move at all when you press the shutter. Even hold your breath, if you have to. Even a little bit of movement on your part can cause a ruined photo. Before you take that amazing picture, take care that you are neither breathing nor moving.
Keep your trigger finger ready at all times. If you take a long time to snap the shot, you might miss it. It will change the look of the photograph. A fast camera will help you take better photos.
Try to put your models at ease as much as you can, particularly if you are not acquainted with them. Many individuals can be suspicious of a photographer's motives. If you approach potential subjects as friends and confidantes, they will be far more likely to cooperate. Help them understand that this is art, and not just a method of invading their privacy.
Don't take pictures that feature a gray, overcast sky if you can help it. Too much gray sky showing in a photo makes it appear washed-out and muted. If you really want or need a shot in overcast conditions, try a black and white picture to maximize contrast and improve the overall picture. If the sky outside is a beautiful blue, include it in your photos but watch the light.
Anyone can become an excellent photographer with time and efforts. Continue experimenting and learning, and with experience over time, your pictures will markedly improve. With digital photography, you don't have to develop every shot you take, or keep them. You will become better as you take pictures of everything you see and judge them later to see where you could have taken a better picture.
Simplify your camera settings for the best results. Learn to master one portion of the control, such as aperture or shutter speed, before you worry about the next. The picture you want to take may no longer be there if you take too much time worrying over settings before you shoot; the scene may have changed or the person has gone away.
Adjusting the white balance setting of your camera to a proper level makes a lot of sense if you are shooting inside with fluorescent lights. Fluorescent lights cast blue and green light, so your subjects might appear a cooler hue than you expect, unless you compensate for lack of the color red with your camera.
Framing is very important when you are considering your photo's composition. Make sure to not have distracting background items, but zoom in on your major focal point. This prevents clutter in your pictures, and multiple unwanted, unsightly focal points.
Learn composition and that less is much more with photographs. A photo does not need to be overly cluttered. There is beauty in the art of simplicity, so keep your shots simple!
Viewers usually look at the foreground more than anything, while photographers check the landscape and background. Ensure that the foreground of the photograph has a striking frame and considers depth in the shot.
One way to exercise your creative muscles is to put limits on how you take pictures. Focus on specific concepts to narrow the scope of your photography. Shoot around 100 different pictures in the same room, or from one certain point. Working withing these limitations will make your shots more creative.
External Flash
Watch for natural light. If you want to take pictures outside, do it early in the morning or late in the afternoon. When the sun's higher in the sky, it can produce unsightly shadows, and living subjects will likely squint at the blinding light. Use the sunlight better by properly positioning yourself where your subject just gets light from the side.
Almost all digital cameras contain a built-in flash, and it will pop up automatically when dim conditions are detected. While convenient for snapshots, a more professional solution is to use an external flash to take advantage of more lighting options. Make sure that your camera contains a "hot shoe" that accommodates an external flash. Make a trip to a camera store to make sure you get the right flash for your camera.
Read your camera's manual. Manuals are often thick and bulky. Most people simply ignore them or throw them away altogether. However, the manual is an important source of information and should be taken advantage of. Doing this can drastically improve your photos and solve the common problems and questions that come up.
The first step to creating stunning photographs is to find the correct subject. You could have wonderful equipment, excellent skill in composition and the technical end of photography, but without a good subject, you won't have a good picture. Look for models or objects of inspiration for your photos.
Watch for any patterns, natural or artificial, you may see when you're shooting your subject. Patterns add an appealing aspect to a photograph, particularly if they are repeating patterns. You can use the patterns to your advantage by creating different angles and backgrounds with your subject.
Reverting to using a film camera can allow you to take photos that give a retro impression. If this is what you want, you may find a good film camera at a garage sale or thrift store. You can use ISO 200 rated black and white film to get some very dramatic looking photographs. Use different types of paper when you develop your prints, for example a fiber-based paper.
As you encounter different backgrounds, scenery or subjects, take multiple practice shots. There are many small differences from one photo shoot to another. When you take lots of practice shots, you prepare yourself for any eventuality. Lighting can change, but feel free to take a few practice photos in between your 'serious' shots.
When taking photos indoors under fluorescent lighting, adjust the white balance settings in your camera to the appropriate setting. You will notice that fluorescent light highlights the blue and green light spectrum and will require post processing in order to balance your tones.
Create an interesting silhouette. Though a sunset creates a beautiful and popular silhouette, there are other ways you can achieve the same effect too. If the difference in lighting between the subject and background is significant, with the background being brighter, it will create a silhouette. You can create the perfect silhouette when is you place your subject right in front of bright objects such as a window or a flash that is off camera. Remember however, that this method can cause you to focus on unflattering features.
Throughout life, it has been ingrained in our minds to have things symmetrical. While symmetry and perfection are things people look for, try and take pictures of your subject off center. Beware of auto-focus features that lock in to whatever is in the center of the lens. Instead, try focusing manually. You can always lock into your subject of choice before you click.
You should know how your camera lens focuses, and where the sharpest zone of focus lies within your camera's frame. Most of the time, you will be able to see the greatest amount of sharpness right in the center of your lens and image. The focus becomes less sharp on areas outside of the middle of the frame.
To make photos look more distinctive, play a bit with with perspective, scale, and expectations. An ordinary object can be transformed to art if the setting distorts its actual size, or lends a silly or unique perpective. Develop your compositions in order to create a unique outlook on a common object.
Set out with a plan before you shoot. Spend some quiet time jotting down ideas and notes about ways to improve your shots. Photography is an art, and things like perspective and creativity are apparent in great photos. You will be inspired and see much better results, if you take this approach.
It's important to keep the object of your shot in focus for the best pictures. There's plenty of room for creativity and personal expression in photographs, but you need to keep your subject in clear focus so that viewers know what they're looking at. When you are just getting started, keep your subject centered in the picture and in view. Let your background be what it will be.
Get your subject into the most flattering position. If many of your family photos look bad, it could be because they're candid shots, or you caught them by surprise. Doing so helps to give you a perfect picture.
Practice Shots
Try to use optical zoom instead of digital zoom on close-up shots. With digital zoom, many cameras allow you to zoom in to the point where the quality of the image is seriously compromised. The photograph will then appear either too blurry or too grainy. The image quality decreases because digital features adds interpolated pixels. Consult your manual to learn how to disable digital zoom if you want to make sure image quality stays high.
Adjust to new backdrops and surroundings by taking practice shots and learning how the surroundings react to your camera. Test out many shots your environment, and find what works in varying situations. Especially when shooting photos outside, the lighting continually changes as the day progresses, and extra practice shots can help you take the most advantage of this.
Learn to distinguish immediately whether a photograph is under or overexposed. If you can comprehend the histogram of your camera, you will begin to appreciate these differences. This feature can let you know in advance if your shot is going to be overexposed or underexposed.
Filters are simply additions you can purchase for your lenses. You can screw filters directly onto the end of your lens set-up. A UV filter is the most common type you'll find in photography. This filter allows your camera lens to be protected from sunlight. It also can protect damage to your lens if you drop it accidentally.
Being familiar with the camera is key to getting the best shots. Take some time for studying your camera.
Your camera should be used as a tool, this will allow you to get the shots you want. Switching to a shallow field depth will blur the background and make your central subject stand out.
When using your flash in the dark, be familiar with its range. Your photo may be too dark if your flash cannot produce enough light. It's a good idea to take some practice pictures with your flash so that you can learn its range.
If you squat or bend down to take the picture, you will get the best results. It is a simple fix that makes a big difference.
While only a small fraction of your pictures will be perfect, you want to hold onto and review all of them. If you keep a private scrapbook that contains all of your photos, not just the best ones, you will have a powerful reference tool you can use to improve your photographic skills.
Phone Cameras
The meaning of your photographs is as important as the overall look when it comes to photography as art. Photographers need to know about and create proper composition with their shots. These types of images are the ones where people can decipher what the photographer was going after.
While mobile phone cameras are now better in quality, you still have to be careful of issues with lighting. Cell phone cameras generally lack a flash. Therefore, you'll need to compose your shot to take advantage of the available lighting. In addition, zooming in really close can help block sunspots and shadows from appearing.
If you aren't practicing, you aren't improving; this remains true for photography. The expenses involved in practicing photography have dropped dramatically now that high-quality digital cameras are widely available. Digital photography gives you the chance to take many pictures without worrying about using lots of film and costly development. You can shoot as many pictures as you want, learning many techniques as you go.
Make sure you aren't using digital zoom instead of optical zoom in your close-up pictures. Many cameras are set up so you can get as close as you want to your subject with the zoom feature; however, the image quality will be compromised as soon as your camera makes the switch from optical zoom to digital. Digital mode interpolates pixels and adds them to the image, resulting in decreased image quality. You can disable this feature entirely if you check the manual for your camera and discover out how to do it.
When photographing children, be prepared for a dynamic, energetic shoot you can not control. Children are just not designed to sit perfectly still and pose for photos, they prefer to be up and about and running around. The best way to combat this is to take advantage of it. Have a little fun and get action shots of them instead.
There were probably at least a few suggestions and tips that will get you interested in trying new ways to take great pictures. If you apply these tips, you can enjoy the results you seek. If you're looking for better results, though, feel free to keep trying different alternatives.
Whenever you see something you feel would make a great picture, make a mental note to revisit that place with your equipment. Keep note paper with you so you can record the locations which you want to come back to.

Classic Brit-TV kids show Swap Shop is making a comeback with Basil Brush performing hosting duties.
Basil's Swap Shop, created by Kent, England-based The Foundation, begins airing this month on CBBC, and will give a new generation of kids the chance to swap anything from gizmos and gadgets to games and gear. Prank Patrol's Barney Harwood is co-hosting alongside the cheeky puppet. Episodes will be interspersed with a mix of comedy, jokes, sketches, music, games and visits from celebrities, each bearing something to swap.
Unlike the original format that relied on live phone-ins, the updated version will be driven by the Swap Shop site (www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc), where kids can leave details of their swap and have the chance to be featured on the show. Additionally, the live show will feature Basil Brush chatting on-line with kids who are trading, while also exploring some of the more bizarre and funny transactions taking place.

"Since I write and read about science, it's a rare treat that I actually sit down with a novel. I recently opened Richard Russo's 'Everybody's Fool' and was immediately transported. The writing is delightful and intriguing. He drops little hints, making you want to keep reading to understand what happened. He paints a picture that makes you feel like you are standing next to the character watching him, while at the same time somehow reading his mind."

Convenience: Old Verses New
08/31/2012 2 Comments
When I first became a community banker, people would ask how many locations the bank had in town. When I told people over twenty locations, with five in Chattanooga, they would say something like this:
Only five? That's not convenient. Amsouth has about twenty locations around Chattanooga, and they are convenient.
True, Amsouth did have more locations, but let's fast forward to the present: people ask different questions to quantify convenience and Amsouth ain't around anymore.
Now, I work for a community bank in Knoxville that has a total of four locations, but that doesn't seem to bother most people. Especially when they hear:
- Free Worldwide ATM Access
- Free Online Bill Pay
- Mobile Banking
- Mobile Check Deposits
Most people understand the first three examples, but a few have not hear of Mobile Check Deposits. This mobile app allows people to deposit checks into their bank account by simply taking a photo of the check. Talk about convenience!
This new mobile app (only available at four different banks in Knoxville), is a global trend that is defining the new convenience of banking. This new convenience is due mainly to the increase of mobile technology, and even companies outside of the traditional banking structure are benefiting. Paypal, Google and Apple all have virtual wallets that are slowly starting to break down the old convenient view of banking…to the point of replacing the need for a bank all together; unless there is a need for a loan.
Who knows, if Paypal merges with a lending company like Quicken Loans or Discover, then there could be an updated version of the new convenience.

Consider a blended solution for sales training on a company's new product range. Here is how a sample blend of an ILT and eLearning might look like for this training requirement:
- Part 1: Online assessment (pre-course)
- Part 2: eLearning module
- Part 3: ILT module
- Part 4: More eLearning modules
- Part 5: Post-course assessment (Online assessment and hands-on exam)
Ideally, to optimize the solution, you would move most of the theoretical content that is typically covered in classroom lectures to eLearning modules, which would serve as a foundation for the classroom learning. The classroom component can now focus on hands-on exercise with the products because the conceptual information is already covered in the eLearning modules. This could be followed by an online assessment that tests learners on all that they learned during their eLearning and classroom training. Here is the same blended solution in tabular format.
|Training Method
|Results and Rationale
|Pre-assessment to determine individual skill levels.
|The online tests help evaluate current skill levels and determine the courses the learners need to register for. Learners proficient in a given subject can be given the option of skipping that subject. This is a good way to ensure that learners only go through training that is required.
|eLearning modules are taken by learners based on the subjects they did not do well on in the pre-assessment. Each of the eLearning modules also gives adequate practice to help retain what they have learned.
|Online tutorials ensure that all learners have the same common foundation and enable a level playing field.
|Classroom training could consist of either a hands-on workshop in which learners do actual hands-on exercises, watch videos or live demos and get feedback on their performance in the workshop. This also could serve as a platform for Q and A for all content learned so far, both in the class as well as through eLearning modules.
|Learners get focused feedback as well as the opportunity to work hands-on with the products or applications in the case of product training or engage in role plays in the case of soft skills training or leadership training.
|eLearning modules to reinforce concepts and provide access to refresher material and aids such as reference guides related to the courses taken so far.
|Provide reinforcement.
|Test learner performance through eLearning and hands-on exam where required.
Remember: Blended solutions have the biggest impact for the lowest investment.

North Shore Golf Club
The course at North Shore is not a pure links because parts of it are parkland in style, but it is beautifully maintained and a very enjoyable challenge to play in any weather. The par-71, 6214-yard course is laid out over two loops, allowing the option of a quick nine holes in the evening if you so desire.
It was designed by the legendary course architect, James Braid, who won the Open Championship five times between 1901 and 1910. He transformed a piece of exposed coastline and lush tree lined parkland into a very memorable golf course and, like all good seaside course designers, took into account the prevailing easterly wind - which can cause even the best players a headache - when laying out the course.
North Shore also boasts a short game practice area and a putting green, and buggies are also available to hire from the pro shop.
Accommodation at North Shore Hotel and Golf Club
The North Shore Hotel and Golf Club enjoys an unrivalled position, enjoying views across the Wash to the Norfolk coast, not to mention some fabulous vistas over the golf course. A warm and traditional welcome is on offer here for the travelling golfer. Lots of dark wood and soft, comfortable seating makes the hotel a very inviting place to be, and the restaurant serves up excellent English fare cooked with locally sourced ingredients - the Sunday carvery is particularly popular among guests. The James Braid bar is open all day every day, offering bar snacks and a wide range of real ales and lager - an ideal place to relax and enjoy those concentrating on the greens outside.
There are 36 bedrooms in all, comprising singles, twins, doubles, triples and a quad. All rooms are en-suite with TV, direct line telephone, tea and coffee facilities. Most have spectacular views of the golf course and sea. The Residents Lounge is equipped with satellite TV so that you do not miss out on those favourite sporting events.
There is ample parking for 100 cars and the hotel is ideally situated for those wishing to enjoy the nightlife in Skegness, which is only a very short taxi ride or drive away.

North Shore Hotel and Golf Club Reviews
The Billy's Golf Society has just returned from a golf break at the North Shore Hotel and Golf Club and all 15 members of this year's touring party had a most enjoyable time so thank you to everyone at Your Golf Travel for all the hard work.
As a group with handicaps ranging from 7 to 27 the quirky mix of 9 holes Links and 9 holes Parkland offered more than enough of a challenge to suit all abilities. That said, a few birdies, an eagle or two and a net albatross brought the attention of The Skegness Ornithological Society!
We were blessed with dry sunny days but with the inevitable bracing winds Skegness is famous for, the conditions were just shy of perfection.
As a whole the course was in very good condition with all the greens being immaculate and featuring some quite tricky pin positions. Unfortunately the recent prolonged dry spell has left the fairways on the links course a little parched.
The 5th and 10th holes which run alongside the beach offer great views and the daunting prospect of a drive from a tee less than 10 yards from promenading, sandcastle building holiday makers.
The Hotel is a large Victorian building with some more recent additions, rooms were clean and adequate without any modern features but some with great views of course and sea. They were perfect for a golf holiday though as we really only used them for sleeping!
The wood panelled Dining Room is large and bright and the waiting staff both friendly and efficient. The Dinner Menu changed daily and the choice and quality of the food was very good indeed. Breakfast was also very good with plenty of choice and all freshly cooked.the smoked mackerel was outstanding.
The bar was well stocked with all the usual and some good local beers at around £3.40 a pint which is very affordable compared with other establishments we have visited on previous golf tours.
Overall the verdict was a solid 8 out of 10. We all agreed that a return visit sometime in the future was something we would consider with pleasure but for now we will broaden our golfing horizons and try something new for our next golf trip.
Many thanks for your help in arranging the tour and I would be pleased if you could assist with our next stay and play golf break. if you could provide golf break packages for the following venues I would be most appreciative.

Zeenews Bureau
Mumbai: The rift seems to have widened between once thick friends Priyanka Chopra and Ranbir Kapoor. Post their scintillating chemistry in 'Anjaani Anjaani', the vibrant couple has been cast in Anurag Basu's 'Barfee'. Rumours have it that Priyanka and Ranbir share strained relations.
Recently, Piggy Chops gave feelers that she and Ranbir doesn't share the best of camaraderie anymore.
Reportedly, sources confirm that it was on the sets of 'Barfee' that the two developed an aversion for each other.
When contacted Priyanka Chopra, the girl simply laughed the rumour off and said, "I`ve had no fight with Ranbir Kapoor. He`s a good friend. It`s just the kind of film that 'Barfee' is that makes us want to stay apart. We both have difficult roles in the movie. I`m autistic and he is deaf and mute. It`s not easy to snap in and out of character just like that. So we need our own space, and we very often stay away from each other and the rest of the cast and crew."
She further added, "'Barfee' is not like 'Anjaana Anjaani' where you could just let your hair down and have a good time even when in character and off it."
Well, that explains it all.

Pantheon of Chaos
Gods & Goddesses of the Dark World
A pantheon is typically a temple to Gods and Goddesses from a particular religion or mythology. But it can also be dedicated to all deities from any mythology or era. In the matter of witchcraft and sorcery the witch or sorcerer has made a connection with one or more different deities and thus creates their own pantheon, their own gods and goddesses to which they direct their magic prayers to, praying to the God or Goddess who, at the time is best suited to the needs of the caster.
Not all witches or sorcerers have a pantheon, some only have one maybe two deities they use. Some have non and never call upon any to aid them. The choice is yours. Not everyone feels the calling of the Gods, some never make the connection, some just decide to work on their own. Sometimes you can make the first connection to a God or Goddess. if you try this, make sure you understand the deity you have called to. Not all are open to contact from us mere mortals.
Depending on the path that you walk there are many deities that you can call upon. If you can make the connection. Unless you follow a particular path of mythology, you can in theory call upon any deity of any era, from any pantheon. there are many places that you can find information on every deity that has existed since the dawn of time. One of the most comprehensive of these is the GodChecker site from here you can research over 3700 Gods, Goddesses, Spirits, Demons and Saints.
In ancient mythology there were gods of just about every conceivable event or act of nature. There were gods of life, death, happiness, sadness, sky, the Earth, and just about every emotion that you could imagine. In ancient Egypt there was even a god of the toilet! In the mythology of Egypt's there was a God and a Goddess of War. Egypt's has one of the highest number of deities in any pantheon. It seems that Egypt's had a god or goddess for practically everything that happened in life from birth to death and everything conceivable between.
There have been many religious pantheons throughout world history, some of these include African, Aztec, Celtic, Chinese, Egyptian, Greek, Hindu, Norse, Inca, Japanese, Maya, native American, Roman, Slavic and Sumerian. As this site shows both the light and darker side of magic and sorcery, I have listed below some of the darker Gods and Goddesses mythology. Some will be known but many more you probably will never have heard of. This is just a small example of the range of pantheons in the history of the world.

Morgan LeFay (Welsh) - Goddess of Death, Fate, the Sea and Curses

"Nostalgia's Not What it Was"
5th - 8th October 2017
Fumbally Exchange, Dame Lane, Dublin
A few words from Curator Steve Kemp: Welcome to "Nostalgia's Not What It Was". As curator I feel it is my job to guide you through this exhibition and whilst I am a firm believer in the personal interpretation of art I also think a few words on Pigsy's work may embellish the visual experience you have embarked on.
For further info, see description for each painting.
Mixed Media on Canvas
1350mm x 1700mm
"No Space For Nostalgia" Is a piece inspired by a photograph sent from a friend which kicked off the whole concept for this exhibition. It is a paean to oldest friends and the inherent hierarchy that they formed and still slip into. A nod to the artist's youth and the breakdance culture that formed an important part of it.
"Cyberpunks" is a take on the movement formed in 1990, the beginning of the deep web and a decentralising power of the banks. The crossed out 72 is both a cry for admittance and a confusion that the artist's year of birth predates the aforementioned formation- "I was a cyberpunk before it even started, let me in". Note the signature in the top right is Pigsy in binary.
1200mm x 1500mm
Mixed Media on MDF
1940mm x 1200mm
"Hard Knocks" The swing from learning on the streets, playing football in the laneway behind his house, to being dragged into extra classes in the evening because of his dyslexia is the theme running through this piece. The discomfort of this rigid structure compared to the freedom of the laneway is replaced with an understanding in later life that both "schools" were equally important to the growth of the artist.
1200mm x 1200mm
"I Still Need You" is the second of a triptych of Nostalgia pieces. The same three protagonists from " No Space For Nostalgia" appear except two are obliterated in this piece leaving just the artist himself. The phallus suggests the growing maturityand desire to move on from the exclusive adolescent male bond yet there is still the reliance based on the share experiences of their youth. The piece includes a quote from Elizabeth Gilbert's "Big Magic" an audiobook the artist listened to at the time of painting.
Mixed media on canvas
1000mm x 1500mm
"Don't Hide M.A." is a very personal message to a friend. A beckoning out of the shadows that others have placed in front of them.
1500mm x 1000mm
"No Nostalgia Here" is the third of the triptych. It takes a more violent take on the attempt to rid himself of his youthful ties. The sole figure falling , the "alone" "future alone" and "win" text is like a motivational speech to oneself to move on and burst out of the shackles imposed by the allegiances formed in younger days. it is a far more independent statement than that of " I Still Need You".
"Empty" relates to the bonding formed by playing football with friends that cannot be replicated in later life. The empty net depicts both the lack of a guardian in one's own life and letting down your friends by no longer wanting to be a guardian for them.
800mm x 1200mm
Mixed Media on canvas
"Games we play" came about after attending a street party and playing with the child of a friend. The central character is the ghost of games past. The artist enquires " what is wrong with having fun" but also has to deal with the demons from youth that childish activities recall.
"A Nation Of Fools Again" is the artist's most overtly political piece. Why do the Irish fall into the same traps with property bubble and a hierarchy of exploitation. The Geldof mentioned is a friend's dog but the Bob is an allusion to The Boomtown Rats and more specifically their song "Banana Republic".

Challenge: Black Students Struggle in STEM Subjects
Image: – New Republic article on Why Black Students Struggle in STEM Subjects: Low Expectations – AFAM STEM
From the article:
In 2011, whites held 71 percent of STEM jobs, Asians held 15 percent, and blacks only 6 percent. In 2009, white students obtained 65.5 percent of the STEM undergraduate degrees. However, STEM undergraduate degrees for blacks have remained flat for the last nine years.
Blacks received just 6 percent of all STEM bachelor's degrees and less than half of those went to black males. Overall, blacks received 4 percent of master's degrees, and 2 percent of PhDs in STEM, despite constituting 12 percent of the U.S. population.
When it comes to academic success, young black students face many other challenges that are only made worse by the negative messaging.
There are societal messages that equate black maleness with criminality, with teachers often being afraid of their black male students.

Scientific Name:
Acer saccharum
Northeastern North America
Tree Size:
80-115 ft (25-35 m) tall, 2-3 ft (.6-1.0 m) trunk diameter
Maple is a classic choice for woodworkers. Its workability is good and the wood finishes and glues well. Maple often has "spalting" which occurs when fungi attacks the wood. The result can be beautiful and sought after but the wood must be harvested before too much salting occurs as it can eventually rot the entire tree. Maple is widely available however large maple trees are difficult to find. Maple is often stained using an oxidized finish which gives the wood a grayish silver finish.

Over the years, the use of postcards for marketing your business has increased a great deal. This is because more and more businesses are beginning to realize the benefits that are associated with them. This is the reason why their demand has risen, leading to an overall increase in the number of companies offering services. Choose the cheapest postcard printing company. A lot of such companies promise to deliver the best results, but then that is often far removed from what customers eventually enjoy. Make sure that you get the best value for your money and end up with high quality postcards. For that, you need to keep some important things in mind such as the following:
- Quality of Materials Used: The type of materials that are used during the process of postcard printing plays an important role in estimating whether you can get the maximum benefits from the venture. This is the reason why you need to weigh your options carefully and confirm whether the company uses quality stuff at all. In this respect, you need to pay attention to things such as the color and the printing machine. These materials should deliver high quality results that impress your clients. This is going to reflect strongly on your business and you cannot make any mistakes out there.
- Reputation: You need to work with a company that is reputed and delivers high quality services. This is why it is advised that you read reviews, testimonials and consult with friends and family and ask for references. If people praise the company, you can trust them to deliver high quality postcard printing services.
- Request for a Sample of their Work: Before you settle down to work with any company, you should confirm whether they are empowered to meet your printing requirements. This is why you should request for sample work. They should be able to show you some of their postcards that they have worked on which will help you consider whether the company is capable of living up to your expectations. If you are not impressed with the quality, you can try your luck elsewhere.
- Cost: This is the most important factor. Estimate how much it is going to cost if you use their services. In this case, you need to set down a budget and look for a company which delivers services that are within their scope. However, you need to be careful about not making any rushed decisions. Moreover, getting the cheapest package always is not the best. This is why you need to spend some time to look at the services that different companies have to offer to make sure that you are taking an informed decision.
Opt for Cheapest Postcard Printing
Postcard printing can turn your business around if you choose to work with a reputed company. Make sure that you take your time before making any commitment. Postcards can help you launch a marketing promotion campaign to attract new customers, retain existing customers or reconnect with past customers. Irrespective of what the purpose of your campaign is, you can make sure that your cheapest postcard printing marketing campaign is successful with the help of these postcards. A cost effective marketing strategy is one which creates a fair impression on clients. The primary motive of all businesses is to save on expenses and increase income. If you want to save on expenses, make sure that you opt for wholesale postcard printing.
Wholesale printing is beneficial as it helps save on costs, the time spent on reordering, reaches out to a large base of customers, impresses them, attracts the attention of the people and increases business profits. Cheapest postcard printing services are among the best options for small businesses of all types. You can choose postcard printing services online or at an offset printing shop nearby. It is better to choose online services as it gives you a variety of choices at reduced rates. Placing wholesale orders will land you in discounts. If you want to adhere to your budget, making an online purchase is a far better option. Get instant quotes and make an immediate decision. The entire process is pretty simple and convenient.
You need to prepare a mailing list and send it out. Only printing the postcards will not suffice. They should reach the right people. Online companies provide a free mailing list and free mailing services that take a lot of burden off your shoulders. As you order the cheapest postcard prints, you should choose the cards carefully. Select one that has the basic elements to attract popular attention. Make sure that the material is of good quality. If you want the cards to be of the best quality, but have a limited budget to eye, you should stick to the standard sized cards – 6×4. If you can belt out a little more, choose 5×7 postcards that are more noticeable and help in accommodating more messages.
The postcards should be attractive, colorful and have a beautiful design. Bright colors will attract kids, adults and teenagers, although black and white attributes a special look to the postcards. It is not only cheap, but has a classic photographic appearance if properly designed. The image that is being used in the card should be arresting enough to compensate for the loss of color. Adding some color to the logo will help highlight it.
As you choose cheap postcard printing, you will get the benefitting of die cutting. The cards can be made of any shape that you please. Cards that are made in a different shape can lead to a better impact. Foldable postcards and pop up cards are good choices too. In fact, anything unique is preferred.
Wholesale printing can be one of the cheapest postcard printing services, especially when free samples, discount offers and lucky draw coupons are included. These can reach out to a number of people who can use the offers. This allows your product to become easily recognizable and gain a marginal advantage over your competitor's product.
