John Wayne Gacy signed letter envelope set
John Wayne Gacy signed letter envelope set
ohn Wayne Gacy (March 17, 1942 – May 10, 1994) was an American serial killer who raped, tortured and murdered at least 33 teenage boys and young men between 1972 and 1978 in Cook County, Illinois (a part of metropolitan Chicago).
All of Gacy's known murders were committed inside his Norwood Park ranch house. His victims were typically induced to his address by force or deception, and all except one of his victims were murdered by either asphyxiation or strangulation with a makeshift garrote, as his first victim was stabbed to death. Gacy buried 26 of his victims in the crawl space of his home. Three other victims were buried elsewhere on his property, while the bodies of his last four known victims were discarded in the Des Plaines River.
Convicted of 33 murders, Gacy was sentenced to death on March 13, 1980 for 12 of those murders. He spent 14 years on death row before he was executed by lethal injection at Stateville Correctional Center on May 10, 1994.
Gacy became known as the "Killer Clown" because of his charitable services at fund-raising events, parades, and children's parties where he would dress as "Pogo the Clown" or "Patches the Clown", characters that he had created.
The letter and envelope are both typed. The letter is hand signed, John.

-Bitcoin may be hot, yet is it the best investment for you?
If you placed $1,000 into Bitcoin in 2013, you would certainly have greater than $23,000 currently. Techies assert it's the future. Enthusiasts are getting. Should you?
Like many financial investment choices, it depends upon that you are as well as what you want. Though it 's called "cryptocurrency," Bitcoin is pure supposition, not money.
It seems like elegant, techie money. Some stores approve it as repayment. Given that Bitcoin is untraceable, it's usually made use of on the Dark Internet, where shady types sell shady things.
Yet loan? It ain't! Genuine loan is traded for goods and services anywhere. Its value is reasonably stable in the short-term. It's approved by those who recognize its value mostly holds up till it could be reused. You don't mind holding as well as spending it due to the fact that you feel that way, also. And also it's easy to accessibility. You get it conveniently if you have something important to market, such as your labor. Cash is liquid, abundant, steady and across the country approved.
-Essential For Getting As well as Buying Bitcoin
Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized cryptocurrency repayment system made by Satoshi Nakamoto. The software-based money was launched to the general public in 2009. Since then, updates as well as renovations have been made by a network of developers, partially moneyed by the Bitcoin Foundation.
It was not up until 2013 that Bitcoin came to be a hot topic of rate of interest. The digital currency acquired over 300% from 2011 to 2012 as well as given that August of in 2015, Bitcoin has increased in worth around 400%. While its recent efficiency has actually been lackluster, (down around 34% because January 1st), equity capital firms and also investors around the globe remain to bank on the cryptocurrency.
For Americans, Coinbase has an option to connect your savings account to your Coinbase budget. This makes future payment transfers easier. The business likewise supplies automated bitcoin buying at normal intervals. For instance, claim you wish to buy $50 in bitcoins every 1st or 2nd of the month, right after you get your paycheck. You could arrangement an auto-buy for that amount on Coinbase. Consider a few caveats prior to you begin utilizing this service. If you issue an automatic buy order, you will certainly not have control over the price at which the BTC is bought. Next point to note is that Coinbase is not a bitcoin exchange, you are buying/selling your coins straight from the firm, which in turn needs to resource them from other customers. This produces issues or delays when executing orders throughout quick market relocations.
[google-map place =" Mount Hermon California "]
For investors that want a conventional bitcoin exchange, BitStamp could be a far better option. With BitStamp, you are patronizing various other individuals and also not the company, which just works as an intermediary. Liquidity is greater and you can generally find another person to take the other side of your profession. The fees start at 0.5% and also copulate down to 0.2% if you have actually traded over $150,000 in the previous Thirty Days.
-The reality about Bitcoin
Bitcoin isn't any of that. There are about 16.5 million Bitcoins worth $42 billion. The U.S.A.'s yearly financial result exceeds $19 trillion. The globe's tops $75 trillion.
Deficiency, hope, hype and fear drive whopping price swings in Bitcoin, making it unsteady. Prices items in Bitcoin isn't really far from pricing in unpredictable leveraged products such as pork belly or lumber futures (which are wildfire, cigarette smoking warm right now).
A real currency? You would not hold much. Too boring, like holding cash. Some Bitcoiners favor an even more money-oriented offshoot, called "Bitcoin Cash," which will go real-time Aug. 1. Will it be cash? Beats me. Only time will tell.
Bitcoin Money shows up only because Bitcoin– the one everyone is so hot over– is simply a speculative product. Like miners dig rubies, Bitcoin miners "mine" bits from algorithms. Bitcoin gyrates like levered assets on steroids since its "hype-o-meter " rivets off the graphes. Pork tummies aren't snazzy. Bitcoin is. Last year alone, you 'd virtually quadruple your loan acquiring it.
-The Initial Assurance of Bitcoin
Bitcoin has lots of residential or commercial properties that make it among one of the most perfect kinds of money you can possibly imagine.
In general, it is extra scarce, sturdy, portable, storable, divisible, and also fungible compared to fiat (government-issued) loan, or rare-earth elements like gold. It is additionally less complicated to validate its authenticity and also more difficult to fake compared to other types of loan.
The bitcoin currency is paired with a payment system that is faster, less costly, as well as much more reliable compared to any kind of typical payment system. You might send any type of amount of money, throughout the world, practically absolutely free.
Bitcoin's greatest weakness is that it is not as extensively made use of as other forms of loan. Therefore, there is the threat that it might never attain traditional fostering. Yet, at the very same time, there is the distinctive possibility that it may. This develops a high risk, high incentive scenario and also is the reason why early adopters have made a killing.
At this phase, there are still ton of moneys to be made as well as probably it is the very best time to invest since there is still a significant advantage while the threat is much smaller sized compared to it was 5 years earlier. Cryptocurrencies are clearly below to remain. And also this is precisely why main stream bush funds as well as capitalists are starting to pile on.

The return of Beckham to the Premier League could be just a matter of time - and it looks like being at Chelsea, according to a report.
While David Beckham's playing future remains up in the air, his 13-year-old son Brooklyn has had a trial with the Blues, and Golden Balls was on the touchline cheering the lad on, according to the Daily Mail.
The Mail reports that Beckham Snr was spotted at Chelsea's Cobham training ground on Tuesday, but he wasn't there to reignite his own playing career in Britain, but help kickstart that of his son, who was on the U14 roster at the LA Galaxy academy when Beckham played in the States.
Brooklyn Beckham was reportedly taking part in a Chelsea academy game, with dad David among the other parents watching.
Several Chelsea fans tweeted their surprise at the appearance of arguably the world's most famous footballer at their club.
Tweeter Sid Celery is said to have posted: 'Ok, so I've just picked up that the reason David Beckham was at Cobham today was that son Brooklyn is being trialled for CFC U14s #Phew.'
What's the betting?
The bookmakers are all over it, with Ladbrokes rushing out some 'like father like son' prices, including:
16/1 Brooklyn Beckham signs a professional contract with Chelsea before the age of 18
25/1 he plays for a Man Utd XI before 2025
66/1 he captains England at senior level
No odds yet on Brooklyn getting a boot in the head from an elderly Scotsman, but difficult to price up as I guess we're burning the candle at both ends on that one...

Summer 2019 Anime: Official Twitter Hashtags & Pages
Summer is near, my dear friends, and our tablets and phones will need some extra space for all the amazing anime that are coming our way.
I am sitting comfortably on my favorite couch, having just poured a hot cup of instant coffee (I broke the jug to my cafetiera – don't judge), and listening to an instrumental piano version of Imawa no Shinigami (the opening theme). I could have cried a lot on Episode 11 of Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu. When it comes to death, you couldn't get a better representation than this.
Episode 11 was a tribute. A eulogy to the person around whom everything circled, not because of his importance or his superiority to the rest of the characters, but instead because the series successfully focused on a sun so that the rest of the planets could orbit freely. But every journey must come to an end. At the happiest moment of his life, Yakumo left this world a man fulfilled. Every single image, every word uttered by him and the faces that his psyche decided to take, was directly linked to his past. This is, of course, not the only interpretation. Many would argue that since Matsuda appeared in the afterlife, this was the actual thing. Judging from how heavily the series relied on metaphor, I have to disagree with that assumption. In my eyes, this were the last moments of his conscious mind, a short parabolic trip to his past, to the people he loved most of all, and to his final journey to the place of eternal rakugo. This interpretation would explain why he didn't see Yotarou in his dream, at least not directly. And it would also explain why he went through all stages of his life, from childhood to old age. Not to mention all the imagery, from the fans to the omikuji on the trees and from everyone's quotes to atoning for past regrets. This was a man reliving his life in a his own meta-rakugo story (since there was rakugo inside the rakugo).
Being human means not getting the things the way you wanted
This episode was one beautiful scene after the other. A masterful direction that portrayed the end of a life that lived to the fullest. The journey of a flawed man who dedicated his life to an art, a woman, and a brother.
You loved rakugo and you loved people. You lived a full life.
Reunion: This was the sweetest reunion ever. No grudges can be held in the afterlife. No sad feelings and no regrets. No death and no harm. This was a reunion that ended with a promise: This is our afterlife and we are going to spend it together. Pinky promise.
We were all wrong, weren't we?
Sanzu River: The River of Three Crossings is the Japanese equivalent to the Greek River Styx. Similar to the Greek mythology, the Buddhist tradition believes that the dead must cross the river to go to the afterlife. They must also pay for the ride, so in Japanese funerals, six coins are placed in the casket with the dead. The Sanzu River is popularly believed to be located in Mount Osore, a suitably desolate and remote part of Aomori Prefecture in northern Japan.
Oiran: I am sure that if you are not proficient in Japanese history (I am not) you were puzzled when Sukeroku and Yakumo called the geisha as oiran. Well, oiran were indeed courtesans in Japan. They were a type of yūjo, a 'woman of pleasure' or prostitute. They were not on the lowest level of prostitution as they were also entertainers, and many became celebrities in their districts. Due to their distinct fashion and art, some of their traditions are still preserved today. So, what's the difference to a geisha? An oiran is a professional prostitute who is also an entertainer, while a geisha is a professional entertainer who sometimes slept with her clients. A geisha is a trained entertainer in song, dance, and instrument. Their primary role was to entertain guests. There were also male geisha during the Edo period, and many chose to sleep with clients they liked, or clients who could ensure their retirement.
Firefly: Fireflies, known as hotaku in Japanese, play an important role in Japanese imagery. As seen in the popular 1988 film Grave of the Fireflies (Hotaru no Haka) fireflies are thought to be the form soldiers take after they fall in battle, of innocent people who die during the war, and in general a metaphor about souls.
Yubukiri: Here is something interesting: Did you know that the pinky swear originated in Japan? At least, so they presume. It's called yubikiri and it means 'finger cut-off.' There is a vow that comes with the promise that goes like this:
Yubikiri genman uso tsuitara hari senbon nomasu
It means: 'Finger cut-off, ten thousand fist-punchings, whoever lies has to swallow thousand needles.' There is a belief in Japan that soulmates are connected by a red string of fate attached to their fingers. That gives the connection between Yakumo and Sureroku an extra layer of meaning.
Somehow it feels like this was the last episode. I know that we still have one to go, and that we will finally get to meet the two youngest members of the Yakumo household. I can't wait because I feel that Shin-chan's resemblance to a certain someone was not drawn that way by mistake. I have a feeling (backed up by the insistence of friends who have been spoilt and friends who have read the manga) that the last episode is going to be bittersweet.
Sometimes I share Christina's (fellow writer here on MANGA.TOKYO) opinion on the state of anime lately: wherever you turn there seems to be either a fan-servicy romance or a kid's show with super-powered heroes. There is nothing wrong with that; after all anime is an industry that fulfills a need. But there is a minority that wants a small portion of the anime pie to be thoughtful, well-written titles like Onihei, 3-gatsu no Lion, and of course Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu. Do we ask too much? I hope not.

Govt slips on fuel policy, resorts to ad-hocism in oil sector1 min read . Updated: 30 Dec 2008, 02:10 PM IST
Govt slips on fuel policy, resorts to ad-hocism in oil sector
Govt slips on fuel policy, resorts to ad-hocism in oil sector
New Delhi: An oil shock, reminiscent of 1979 crisis, nearly derailed Asia's third fastest growing economy as policy-makers spent more time fire-fighting controversies resulting from the absence of a coherent energy plan than taking decisive steps.
If Iranian revolution sent oil shock waves worldwide almost three decades ago, it was speculators ruling the markets in 2008, driving prices to a record high of $147 a barrel on 11 July. Seventy-five per cent import-dependent India scrambled for response as the rally resulted in a sharp rise in inflation and threatened to undo the gains from a 9% GDP growth rate.
With domestic fuel pricing policy in doldrums, the Congress-led Government shied away from taking any stringent action to keep its poll hopes alive in an election year. But when bankruptcy of national oil companies from selling fuel- below-cost looked imminent, it pieced together a for-the-time being response, raising petrol, diesel and domestic cooking gas prices by highest ever rates but no where near the required hike.
Soon, the bubble created by speculators busted when more than clear signs of recessions in the US and Europe emerged, sending crude oil prices tumbling. Crude prices fell by two-thirds ignoring intermittent output cut by oil cartel OPEC, and once again exposing absence of clear energy policy back home.
After "observing" the movements for weeks, petrol and diesel prices were reduced, but an opportunity which should have been used to free fuel pricing from administered control was withered away in the absence of a decisive leadership.

On June 13, 2017, Mrs. Hunt brought Ella to our Penn High School Robotics lab to test out some new prototypes we created for her hand stabilizers. Along with Ella and her mom, we had the opportunity to meet up with her physical therapist, Denise, to see what she would recommend to advance our prototypes. Prior to Mrs. Hunt's arrival, Denise and I had the opportunity to talk about Ella and how far along she has come since Denise's first meeting with Ella. Denise taught me about how many hardships the Hunt's had to go through in order to accomplish the strength Ella has today. We showed Denise the book that we were working on for Engineering Ella and she was ecstatic. She absolutely loved the new
publication of their story and she knew Mrs. Hunt would also love it. Soon after, Mrs. Hunt arrived with Ella in their customized van- a large black van with vinyl images of Ella on the side. We helped carry in the supplies Mrs. Hunt had brought for Ella and showed them into the lab. It was astounding to see the improvements Ella had already made since our last visit. She was now able to effectively drive herself around in her chair- thanks to David and Mr. Binko's chair improvements. Ella had been doing so good driving her chair that her mom even had to teach her to look back both ways prior to crossing the road!
We went inside to show Mrs. Hunt the new prototypes for Ella's arm stabilizers and they were very optimistic. In fact, Mrs. Hunt was so ecstatic that she wanted to put the prototypes directly onto the chair and test them out. At first, we wanted to be careful not to make any permanent changes to the chair, but Mrs. Hunt quickly assured us that she would be receiving a new chair within the next few months.

Two weeks ago, the parents of a 14-year-old approached a psychiatrist, seeking help for their child who was hooked to online gaming for nearly 8 hours a day. When the doctor studied the cause behind this eight-hour-long presence for online gaming, it revealed that cyber bullying through gaming forced the child to spend more time on gaming.
The child used to play an online game where people from different countries teamed up. The game had a feature of online chatting. Parents were disturbed by the child's unacceptable behaviour, as he spent six to eight hours on online gaming.
"The parents consulted me for treating their child so that he limits, spending his time on online gaming. After examining the patient, I concluded it to be a case of cyber bullying through gaming which is forcing the child to spend maximum time on gaming. The child was immersed in a virtual world and took bullying so seriously that he started spending more time on social media. Just to prove others that he too is good at gaming and can score well," explained Dr Rohan Jagirdar, a consultant psychiatrist from Pune.
"These are the children with low self-esteem and suffering from social isolation. Parents and children need to be given psychological education regarding the same. Some of the extreme cases could be treated with anti-depressants, mood stabilisers along with counselling," he said.
Jagirdar has treated four such cases in the last six months in Pune. "The problem aggravates when children forget the difference between the virtual and the real world. In such cases, children can be bullied, through the chatting option provided by the games. While, the parents need to be aware about this," he added.
Online bullies steal the child's gaming password and hack their account. While some online role-playing games force children to take a new persona online. They imitate the violent behavior through these role-playing games and then indulge themselves in bullying other kids through these games.
Dr Harish Shetty, a psychiatrist from Dr LH Hiranandani Hospital, Mumbai, said, "Children exchange abuses through chatting options available in online gaming. I have seen cases, where a child was bullied as he could not contribute to the team score or as he was not aggressive in the game. Most of the times, children find it easy to bully each other on online platforms as the identity is anonymous.

With a new marking system tested and in place, this year promises to have all the excitement of a BlockBuster finale. Our Judge, Geoff Reader has the honours of starting off what promises to be a great year of Club Competitions. Read on to see some surprising results........
Open Competition 1 - 3rd October
With renewed enthusiasm, a decent size audience took their seats in readiness for the first of Mid-Cheshire Camera Clubs (MCCC) Open Competitions. It was nice to see some new faces in the audience – prospective member, trying us out for the first time. With our Chairman away on Safari, it was left to a familiar face of Syllabus Secretary, Ray Hill to open the evening and introduce our judge.
As this is an Open competition, members are able to submit images from any genre. Genres from tonight's selection of images included: Portraiture, Journalism, Record, Architectural and Natural History.
Members have had the last 5 months to venture out into the world and shoot their best images in their favourite genre, to tweak and adjust sliders in 'post' to brill out the natural brilliance of the story they are telling in the picture. Tonight, our judge, Geoff Reader (DPAGB, AFIAP, BPE3*) has a total of 24 Prints and 49 Projected Digital Images (PDI) to critique using our redesigned scoring system - new for this season - enabling a fairer and inclusive way of including all members in the Open and Theme Competitions.
Geoff Reader is no stranger to MCCC as he was a guest speaker last season. Geoff is from Alsager Camera Club and continues to enjoy taking photographic genres such as Sport, Nature and Landscape but his main focus is on people. Geoff has been with Alsager for 8 years.
Photographic Competitions are great fun and a great place for any person with some competitive spirit to get involved in the cut and thrust of Club Photography. Club competitions focus your mind and allow you to put the information learned from members' evenings into practice.
I know I have mentioned this before but I never stop learning during competition night. Our Judge, being an accredited amateur photographer, provides a decent amount of feedback during the whole evening; commenting on each image that they see. Anyone attending the evening cannot but help learn something from the event.
Geoff started off his judging with advice to the audience. He explained that when judging an image, he looks at 4 areas that help him form an opinion to pace a mark against it. The areas are;
1. Is the exposure correct for the image?
2. Is the feel of the light correct for the image?
3. Composition
4. Originality and Impact (his personal feeling about the image)
After explaining his marking formula he was off. Geoff, as all L&CPU judges have an ability to read an image and see things that some club photographer don't see. Geoff talked about how he liked to blur the background, offering tips and tricks to encourage this and explaining why it was important to do so – reducing distractions and enhancing the subject matter. He commented negatively on bright or sharp backgrounds which were reflected in the marking. Geoff mentioned taking an image with the right perspective - no other judge has mentioned this before. Geoff talked about getting lower or moving around with a view of showing your subject as three dimensional rather than in a flat two dimension. Geoff added about subjects in a story – do they all contribute to the common story or theme, if not look at cropping the subject that is not engaging out. Geoff made mention of eye contact and explained its importance to get a sense of the emotional understanding of the story being told. Geoff commented a couple of images that lacked contrast making them feel washed out and the resulting effect was a weaker overall picture.
MCCC's revised scoring system has now done away with Beginners and Advanced sections. All the members are in one section and all the marks awarded go towards an individual's overall score for Photographer of the Year. This system is run in parallel for Prints and PDIs.
Focusing back on the competition, the results were in.
1st: Alpha Male - Kath Hill
2nd: Little Owl - Kath Hill
3rd: The Hell Runner - Paul Wilcock
1st: Shane Byrne - Ken Dickenson
2nd: Black Backed Jackals Mating - Ian Whiston
3rd: The Water Mill - Paul Wilcock
Running Total - Top three members
1st: Kath Hill ---------------- 53 marks
2nd: Veronica Nicholas---- 50 marks
3rd: Paul Wilcock ---------- 49 marks
1st: Ken Dickenson -------- 50 marks
1st: Paul Wilcock ----------- 50 marks
2nd: Jim Cain -------------- 49 marks
2nd: Ian Whiston ----------- 49 marks
2nd: Ray Girling ------------ 49 marks
2nd: Veronica Nicholas --- 49 marks
Congratulations to all the winners and runners-up and a thank you to all the members taking part. A final big thank you to our Judge Geoff Reader who provided sound and honest feedback throughout the whole evening.

Image of the week
[better_gallery template=default ][/better_gallery] I've been terrible and not made an update for quite some time! My excuse is that I've been super busy with coordinating an exhibition of my work with travelling showmen families at the Nottingham Goose Fair. It seems that when I'm immersed in practical tasks, the internet becomes somewhat of an afterthought, which I don't necessarily mind too much. It's good to get a break from looking at this screen every once in a while!
Since it's been a little while, I thought I'd upload a small gallery of images from a recent shoot to enjoy. On Monday I had the pleasure of photographing leading choreographer Siobhan Davies. I had received an email a couple of weeks previous from the comms. manager at Siobhan's studios who had looked at my work and was interested in a possible collaboration, with a view to commissioning a new portrait. Excited by the prospect, I traveled down to London to meet Siobhan at her beautiful studios, housed in a converted Victorian primary school in Lambeth. Sipping coffee and flicking through her previous profile portraits, we talked through ideas for the shoot and practicalities. For all the studio was an alluring option for a location, it had been done before and I wanted to challenge myself to come up with something less predictable. We concluded our meeting in agreement that we'd set off on a walk from the studios on the following Monday morning and try something in the neighborhood.
The Sunday before the shoot I headed back down to London, filled with dread over the impending storm that had been forecast. The worst winds since 1987 they said! And a deluge to boot. I was almost certain that the shoot would have to be moved inside and was nearly prepared to write off my original idea. Clinging on to any shreds of hope I had left, I took advantage of my time to wander the streets behind the studios, which are lined with beautiful Georgian terraces. A rare opportunity to location scout before a shoot should never be turned down, even if there is a real possibility it could all be scrapped on the day. Come Sunday night, the rain did indeed pour and the wind did blow, forcefully enough to cause havoc with the rail network and uproot some pretty substantial trees. I couldn't believe my luck however when I awoke Monday morning to calmer conditions. The streets of London were still blustery and grey as I paced towards a rush hour tube, but a little breeze and a spot of drizzle wasn't going to ruin my plan. Siobhan was happy to brave the weather and we headed out in our jumpers and coats under a tumultuous sky. We chatted about recent projects and rituals of creative process as I photographed her against Lambeth's handsome houses and one particularly wonderful old corner shop. A joy!

There are a lot of assumptions about homeless individuals. Maybe the most common is that every one of them are too lazy to work. Having been there myself and having worked with many others in the identical scenario, I've to say that for the vast majority of homeless people, the belief that they're lazy is useless mistaken. Upon getting mold, it may be time to learn about foggers. After you fog, the mold should be eliminated. You can have the fabric tested if you wish to know what mildew you could have. If the material the mildew has grown on is simply too far gone, it needs to be eliminated. System Takeover shouldn't be out there in all areas and use of current tools is subject to condition and kind, as determined by the Technician.

Tune your radio right into a silent spot on the excessive end of the FM band. Carry the radio across the room. If it begins to make odd sounds akin to a excessive-pitched squeal, move it until the sound reaches its loudest pitch. You may be accustomed to this feedback phenomenon when it occurs with speakers. Well, when it occurs with an FM radio, it's due to the same factor – the radio is picking up transmissions from the bug and may often lead you right to it.
Learning to tell Time – I assume this is not a game per se, however the clock definitely lends itself to learning the right way to tell time.

Excellent remedy for maintaining your health
If any problems with taking pine nut oil occur, it means you have taken a counterfeit. You have to take ONLY cold-pressed oil, only then will it work. We have been buying pine nut oil with resin from 'Siberian Pine Nut Oil' company for about five years already, we regularly use it in food, and I see only benefits. For me, I had a result on the second day: I immediately felt relief. After the course of treatment, I completely forgot about constipation, stomach bloating, and stomach pains. I have a feeling of cheerfulness and energy, I even began to look younger, and my skin lost its grey color. Now I recommend it to all my friends; this is an excellent remedy for maintaining your health.Harlan Higgins, 42 Jersey City, NJ United States

It is not difficult to serve as a political party chairman, as the membership threshold for setting up a party is quite low, the Ministry of the Interior said yesterday.
Officials made the remarks as a new party, the Taiwan Nationalist Party (TNP), prepared to join the 110 registered political parties today.
Officials said that although there are numerous political parties in the country, most of the public might only be able to name a few of them since less than 10 are represented in the Legislative Yuan.
According to the Civil Societies Organization Law (
The Civil Societies Organization Law takes a hands-off attitude toward regulating parties.
Under the act, as few as 30 people can form a political party. If the party later does not take part in elections, there are no regulations to disband these "bubble" parties.
To promote the institutionalization of party political operations, the ministry mapped out a draft political party law in 2002. It hoped to develop more substantive regulations on political parties, including increasing the minimum number of members to at least 300 and setting limits on what such parties can call themselves.
However, because of controversies over party assets and other issues, the legislature has not yet passed the bill.

Built In Closet Systems. There are two methods you'll be able to go once you're establishing your new improved closet. You can use a pre-measured closet system. This system has a reasonably inflexible set of gadgets, cabinets, and racks, designed to suit into the space you measure your closet to supply. This technique makes essentially the most environment friendly use of space, offered your closet is set to suit one of the pre-made systems accessible. However, it is not flexible for individuals who have, as an example, a reasonably small clothing choice but 1,000,000 pairs of shoes and matching purses.
The second method to easily organize your closet is by utilizing a closet organization equipment. These kits are far more flexible in size, and usually consist primarily of many various modules, usually expandable plastics. A closet organization equipment is less complicated to switch, but doesn't take advantage of environment friendly use of space accessible. Some individuals select a technique someplace in between these, with a portion of the closet dedicated to a inflexible closet system and the remaining flexible to make use of organization kits and related individual modules.

How to Prepare Your Dog for a Party At Your House
Any time you have guests over to your house, whether it is a small intimate gathering, or a large party, your dog's daily life will be interrupted. Even the most gentle, happy-go-lucky dog can be thrown off by having new people enter their home – their domain. With practice, training and some techniques you can make your dog more comfortable when you have gatherings in your home and find ways to have a successful party without worrying about your dog the entire time.
Training your dog and preparing them for having guests in your home begins (hopefully) long before any guests actually arrive. It may be best to start small and only have 1 or a few people over for the first experience and then slowly introduce your dog to having larger parties in your home. If you have trained your dog with basic commands such as sit, down, and stay you will be ahead of the game because your dog will respond to your cues. Next, it is important to know your dog and their unique personality. Depending on your dog's background and history, they will have different responses to having guests in the home. If they are a rescue dog and had ever been abused or neglected, they may struggle with social settings. They may exhibit their struggle in either fear or aggression which is why it is important to know your dog and what they can handle. If they absolutely cannot handle groups, particularly ones where the people do not know your dog's likes and dislikes, it may be best to crate them or give them a dedicated room in the home for the party. It is always a good idea to plan ahead and have some special treats, toys or other items to occupy your dog's attention if they need a break from the social setting.
If you plan to allow your dog to roam freely during the party it is always a good idea to tell guests your dog's likes and dislikes upon arrival. For example: "Fido likes being pet on his back but does not like being pet on his head." Or, "Fido will walk around and be a part of the party but does not particularly like attention or eye contact." Or, "Fido tends to grab for food so please keep food on high surfaces." This will make everyone feel more comfortable with your dog's boundaries and know how to safely interact with them while enjoying the party. To prepare your dog for the party, be certain to give your dog plenty of exercise and play time before the party with undivided attention so that they are not jealous and longing for your attention during the party. Once the party has begun, you can use your cues with your dog to signal to them how to behave. For example, if your dog jumps up on a guest you will be able to say "down" and your dog will know what to do and guests will not feel uncomfortable. With proper training, preparation, explanation and boundaries, you, your guests and your dog can enjoy your next party.

Lisa Tanner helps busy moms grow a business with their kids at their side. Find out how she makes $2400/mo from her blog without massive traffic and email list.
Revenue of $2,400/mo
Email list size of 430
Founded in 2015
Hello! What's your background, and what is your blog about?
Hi! My name is Lisa Tanner. I'm a certified teacher with a master's degree in elementary reading and literacy. After teaching for seven years, I left the classroom to homeschool my own kids (all 8 of them!)
I write for other busy moms who are trying to grow a business with their kids at their side. I'm on a mission to prove you don't have to wait until your kids are older or you have more time to launch your own business and do what you love. I help moms minimize their decisions, integrate their kids, and get more done.
Lisa Tanner Writing blog currently brings in an average of $2400 a month, with me working on a part-time basis.
What motivated you to get started with the blog?
After I stopped teaching, our budget had no wiggle room. Money was tight, and we didn't want to stay in poverty. So, I started freelance writing to help supplement my family's income. Originally my blog started as a source of samples. I wrote mainly about small business and entrepreneur topics.'I've realized if I don't believe in myself, no one else is going to believe in me either.'Click To Tweet
My fellow freelancers kept asking me how I found time to write while homeschooling eight kids. As I shared my tips and tricks, I realized I'd found what I was meant to write about. The content on my blog slowly morphed into my new niche, and I love it!
What is the revenue model for the blog?
I currently offer a variety of services and products on my blog. It's still the home of my freelance writing and virtual assistant "hire me" pages, and I continue to offer those services. Coaching is also available, I love helping other moms find clarity in their work/life balance.
In addition to services, I currently sell two products. My course, Balancing Diapers and Deadlines has over thirty lessons to help moms premake decisions, engage their kids while they work, and improve their productivity. My ebook, A Busy Mom's Guide to a Successful Family Writing Time. This details the method I use to gain an extra 2.5 hours each week to work on my blog, and walks moms through the process of starting their own Family Writing Time.
Affiliate marketing is my final monetization strategy. I enjoy creating posts around products I recommend.
While the majority of my income still comes from my freelance services, I'm slowly gaining ground on more passive types of income (products and affiliate income.)
I'd definitely recommend knowing your target audience. It's worth it to take the time to create an avatar. If you don't know who you're trying to sell to, you aren't going to sell anything!
What are some strategies you have used to increase the blog's traffic?
While traffic is something I'm still working on, I have learned a few things along my blogging journey. I've seen the most traffic from strategic guest posts on blogs in my niche. At first, I didn't know how to capitalize on this burst of visitors, and I saw very little in terms of return traffic.
Now, I'm better prepared. I know the importance of ensuring my guest post fits into the topics on my blog. I've started creating freebies these new visitors will find attractive, to try and capture new leads before they leave.
Social media is another primary traffic source for me, especially Facebook and Pinterest. It's definitely worth it to take the time to create images. This is one area I've invested in a couple of times – getting some help on my social media presence. Each time has been well worth the investment.
I'm currently experimenting with round up posts. I try to find a topic where I can easily fit in some key influencers, and ask their permission for inclusion. Typically, they respond well, if I've put in effort to be genuine and make it relevant to their audience.
Networking is essential in blogging! Take the time to reach out to others and build the relationship. Be building those relationships all the time, so when you reach out to ask for something, you already have a connection.
How have you grown your email list?
Trying to grow my email list wasn't my focus when I originally started blogging. But, I realized this was a huge oversight on my part, and now I'm trying to make up for lost time.'I've also used giveaways to gain subscribers. Getting a key influencer to share resulted in a big boost. This is another example of why networking is so important!'Click To Tweet
My email list currently has 439 people on it, and I'm now adding a couple of new subscribers each day. I email my readers once a week. When I write to them, I typically include a link to my latest blog post, a tip or strategy I haven't published yet, and often a question to try and get feedback.
I've learned having a single sign up box on your blog isn't enough. Now I offer multiple content upgrades, PDF freebies, and a free course. Each of these are designed to grow my list. But, simply making these items isn't enough. You've got to strategically market your goods and get your name out there.
I've also used giveaways to gain subscribers. Getting a key influencer to share resulted in a big boost. This is another example of why networking is so important!
To stay motivated, I've installed a browser extension from Videofruit that shows my current list size each time I open a new tab. It's encouraging to watch the number go up!
How do you write great content that performs well?
As a busy mom, my writing process is a bit untraditional. A couple times each month, my kids and I sit down and brainstorm. We talk about things I could write about, and I write down everything. You never know where you'll find inspiration, and I've definitely taken something my toddler has said and turned it into a blog post.
Once I have a solid list of ideas, I start combining them. I look for the best ones, and try to create headlines for each. Posts that answer specific questions mompreneurs have do well for me.
After coming up with some headlines, I use think time to my advantage. I typically write my personal blog posts on Monday. So each Sunday evening, I review my headlines. I read through any notes I jotted down, and quickly write down anything I can think of about the topic.
When I head to bed, my brain keeps working. My topic is weaving itself into my thoughts, and when I wake up, I grab a piece of paper and write down a quick outline. I continue thinking about my post as I get breakfast, take care of farm chores, and move on with the rest of our day. When it's time for me to write, I'm ready to go. I know the direction my post is taking, and it comes out easily.
After writing, I take time to do a quick edit. I make sure my post delivers what I said it did, and that there aren't any glaring errors.
Then I spend time creating graphics. I used to skimp on this part. But, without good graphics, your great content isn't going to get shared.
What are the biggest challenges you've faced and obstacles you've overcome with your blog? If you had to start over, what would you do differently?
I've made plenty of mistakes when it comes to blogging. My biggest mistake was not marketing. For an entire six-month period, I did nothing to promote my blog. During the first part of this period, I was taking a full load at college to keep my teaching certificate up to date, and it was all I could do to write content. Then, I had baby number eight and just didn't have the energy to pour into marketing.
But, no matter the reason behind my social media hiatus, my blog grew stagnant during this time. I realized the mistake I had made. It would have been better to cut my posting schedule in half and spend the extra time focusing on marketing.
I also waited too long to develop my reader persona and start an email list. By doing this, my product launches were very disappointing, I just didn't have a large pool of readers to sell to.
If I were to start a new blog, I'd identify a clear niche before starting. I kind of jumped into this blog with one purpose (gaining freelance writing samples), and then morphed it into what it is today. I feel like I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out the purpose behind my blog. Once I knew what I wanted to write about, I'd focus on building relationships with my readers and key influencers.
Have you found anything particularly helpful or advantageous?
Coming from an educational background as a teacher, I didn't know the first thing about writing a blog post when I first started. Gina Horkey's course, 30 Days or Less to Freelance Writing Success, taught me so much.
I shifted from an academic perspective and format to a web-friendly one. Occasionally, I find myself slipping into the academic rut. That's when I pull out my strategy of reading my posts aloud. If I hear myself sounding like I'm in a lecture hall instead of sitting down with a friend for a conversation, I try to reword my content.
Paying for social media help was another particularly helpful move. It's sometimes hard to spend money on your blog when you aren't earning a ton, but I've typically seen a great ROI each time I invest in myself.
Also, learning to engage my kids has been helpful. If I don't know what my kids are doing when I sit down to write, I'm probably not going to approve of their decisions. So, I take time to ensure they're engaged in an activity or two. This reduces the number of huge messes I must tackle during my writing time.
What's your advice for bloggers who are just starting out?
I'd recommend focusing on relationships and networking. You can only reach so many people on your own, but when you join forces with someone who's already established, your reach expands dramatically. But, don't be fake or annoying in trying to grow connections. Be genuine and friendly.
Also, believe in yourself. It took me a long time to gain confidence in myself. Now, I've realized if I don't believe in myself, no one else is going to believe in me either.
You can do this!
Where can we go to learn more?
You can head over to my blog or connect with me via Twitter or Facebook.

African champion, Cameroon, failed to make the cut to the semi final of the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup in Russian Federation as the Vincent Aboubakar led Indomitable Lions lost their last Group B game 3-1 to Germany at the Fisht Stadium in Sochi yesterday.
Germany's Timo Werner (right) in Confederations Cup action with Cameroon's Ernest Mabouka in Sochi June 25, 2017.
Germany's Joachim Loew said he is looking forward to facing Mexico on Thursday in the Confederations Cup semi-finals after the world champions pipped Chile to top spot in Group B.
Chile had to opt for second place in their Confederations Cup group after being held to a draw by Australia.
Federation Internationale de Football Association officials will have been alarmed when Colombian referee Wilmar Roldan initially sent the wrong player off, Sebastien Siani, on the advice of the video assistant referee before the decision was quickly corrected.
After the lengthy stoppage involving the red card incident, Germany made their numerical advantage count nearly immediately as Werner also got his first Germany goal with an excellent header from Kimmich's fine cross to the back post.
Vincent Aboubakar's header for Cameroon when 2-0 down had briefly given the African side hope in Sochi, but Germany could have won by a greater margin and Lo w becomes his country's first coach to reach the 100-win landmark.
La "marche des fiertés" interdite dimanche — Istanbul
Ses commentaires conservateurs sur les femmes et la famille enflamment régulièrement la critique. Les années précédentes, ces manifestations s'étaient déroulées sans incidents.
When Martin Rodriguez found an equaliser in the 67 minute, Australia responded with heart and pressed for a victor.
But the world champions broke the deadlock when Draxler exchanged passes with Demirbay, who blasted past Cameroon goalkeeper Fabrice Ondoa from distance on 48 minutes.
The outcome means Chile finish on 5 points, with Germany on 7 after defeating Cameroon 3-1.
Troisi dinked the ball over goalkeeper Claudio Bravo to give Australia the lead after Chile lost possession in midfield. Australia is third, with two points, and is out of further battle for the trophy.
Alexis Sanchez wanted a penalty when he fell under a challenge from Mark Milligan but the VAR system showed it was an excellent tackle from the Australian defender.
Australia's Robbie Kruse had another chance after halftime when he got clear of his marker but failed to make contact with the ball.
Vargas reacted quickest to obtain the knock down to half-time sub Martin Rodriguez, who scored his first worldwide goal with a sharp surface that soothed Chilean nerves.

I have numerous ideas for posts floating around in my head but not nearly enough time, focus or emotional energy to begin a single one. My life just got very messy and painful and complicated and scary. And I'm working through it as best I can, feeling disjointed and frazzled and scared and free and joyful and hated and loved all at once. Thank goodness for my amazing therapist, acupuncturist and supportive friends. I'll make it through this, as I always do, because I must. I'm trying to be as gentle with myself as possible right now, though that's taking some serious work as I am the Queen of Self-Punishment. I want to be open to all the new possibilities and life lessons that are arising from this major change, even when that means having some awkward and/or painful conversations and getting called out on my shit by loved ones who care enough to not leave no matter how hard I push.
I'm learning to let go and leave my comfort zone, to embrace the unknown and make peace with uncertainty. To say this is difficult would be an understatement, though I realize I'm far from unique. I don't know too many people who are particularly fond of change, especially life-altering, heartbreaking change that jolts us out of our safe comfort zones. But knowing that this is a universal human truth doesn't make the getting through it any easier. Just a little less lonely, I suppose.

(I Hate Records, March 2016)
"Made by doom fans, for doom fans." So says the I Hate Records promo pack for this excellent debut album from The Temple. And while it's clear that this Greek band is thoroughly immersed in the finest traditions of doom metal (drawing inspiration from Solstice and Warning, amongst others) there is plenty of originality, drive and sparkle coursing through their music.
Album opener 'The Blessing' kicks off in style – a refined and well-crafted melodic doom romp. And the quality continues on 'Qualms In Regret' – in fact, the quality continues throughout the whole album. The Temple have a very well-defined notion of what makes a "true doom" composition, treading a fine line between beauty and dismay while never falling into the twin traps of melancholy or indulgence. The magnificent 'Mirror Of Souls' and 'Beyond The Stars' find the band – who formed back in 2005 but attracted attention with a 2015 self-released EP of old material – in imperious form.
Vocally, lyrically and musically, The Temple position themselves within a familiar framework – and in these elegant shackles they excel. 'Forevermourn' may not be as profound as Warning's masterpiece 'Watching From A Distance', but it's not far off. Each song brings a unique quality and adds something new and delightful to the overall experience of the album. The Temple have an ability to switch between time signatures or add in new elements without losing momentum. All of which adds up to a consistently enjoyable series of exquisitely-judged, heartfelt songs.
The clean vocals of Father Alex come across as a little over-earnest at times, lacking both the subtlety to evoke wider emotions and also the range to make some of the grander section truly come alive. You'll find no growling here, only epic, melodic, heavy, tradition-hugging doom metal of the awesome kind. The band could perhaps introduce some layers to their music and sound (particularly with regards the disparity between shuddering bass and piercing guitar tones) in order to give their music greater depth and warmth. At times, it seems like everybody's simply doing the same thing at the same time, and while this might help to keep the songs focused and intense it can also feel a little ponderous.
'Forevermourn' is a massively impressive debut album of classic, melodic doom metal that should win The Temple many fans with its integrity, vitality and timeless misery!

On the recommendation of friends from Vicenza, I visited Antica Bottega Del Vino in Verona. A place with history and an institution of traditionalism. I love places like this.
I purposely ordered a little lighter on lunch and more aggressively on wines I haven't experienced before. My friends were taking me to have no less than four different courses of risotto later in the evening, so it was better to go light on the food.
To start, cotechino filled tortellini with a horseradish butter was awesome. They did not skip on the cotechino stuffing inside the pasta. I've made cotechino several times before for dinner parties and Italian guests, but never thought to put it in pasta before. As good as the cotechino was, the horseradish infused butter stole the show. All the perfume of horseradish, without the bite. Perhaps memory engrams fire in my brain to think of meat when horseradish flavors show up on a plate. Delicious, elevated dish with one simple ingredient.
My first wine was just ok until the pasta, then it totally opened up with a hint of sweetness. The wine on its own tasted a little flat, dull, honestly. I think it needed the fat from the cotechino to open up.
Course two, beef tartare is cold, minimally seasoned and a bit bland. I reach for the crunch of bread sticks searching for the help of some salt and texture. I know. I keep getting tartare wondering if it will be amazing next time at the next place. It hasn't been. I need a French chef or I need to prepare it myself.
The wine on this course, was outstanding. Mixed with Syrah and described as a first cru in valpolicella with a complex mixture of scents coming off the nose; raisins, teriyaki and barbecue like smelling the crust of long cooked bbq. Sorry, no picture.
Dessert was chocolate mousse with a Zabiglione mousse in the middle. The straight chocolate with the wine doesn't pair as well. Dessert with wine number three is an recioto/amarone style wine and it's the bomb, not specifically a dessert wine. A sexy wine. They offered dessert cookies that were very similar to Elena's at Parma.
Overall a great experience at Antica. Jumping into completely new wine territory with Ripasso and Amarone styled wine. What would happen if our friends at In Pursuit of Balance started heralding the merits of balanced wines at 16% that are fermented whole cluster? The California wine world would come unglued! What would a Somm do?

Wheel power
During a shopping trip the wheel came off my shopping trolley. I couldn't carry it, so my granddaughter Isobella found a hairband and wound it round the axle in front of the wheel to keep it on. It worked perfectly and we got home safe and sound.

I cannot imagine what this poor girl went through before her last breath was taken! My heart is shattered! I PRAY the justice system will not let her family down. Each and everyone that is involved should be strangled just as they did her!
I have been following this since she went missing…heartless people…where did you people come from?
Her blood is on your hands…I hope the vision of this murder stay with you for as long as you live…and every time you go to sleep those precious children will haunt.

I met Ashley while working at Wal-Marts. She also worked there in the Diary Dept. She had a very sweet smile and seemed to get along well with everyone. I also have known her Granmother Ionne for many years. How anyone that had someone living with them knowing that she had young children, could have intentionally done harm to her is so hard to understand. People are innocent until proven guilty is true, but if these people are guilty, I hope that they all may the stiffess punishment that can be given to them. Even if only one person actually did the crime, they must have all known all about it and that she was buried where she was. May all of her family and friends know that there are so many that have them in our thoughts and are praying for them for strength in this tragic loss. May Ashley have peace now and God bless each and everyone that loved Ashley and we all wish things could have been so different for her.

You whatever you are, do not have to be rude. It was a simple typo. She meant dairy. And I don't care how the girl lived, she didn't deserve to be killed like that. Especially by some bitches that pretended to be her friend. Have some respect for her family members and her kids.

I see the Press is silencing the voice of the black citizens only. Boycott!!! This newspaper is against black voices!

The Press unfairly silenced Alpha Zulu. He was the of Colleton"s African American community and was banned not for breaking any rules, but for speaking the truth, stating facts, and making sure the black voice was heard. We are calling on Black People to boycott the Press & Standard, and any business that has a advertisement in the paper. Make your black voices be heard over these tyrants!!

This is not about black or white. This is a young mother, daughter, niece, aunt, granddaughter that was viciously attacked and killed. Take the focus off the Black/White stuff and back to the anger that someone has taken another life in Walterboro. The anger should be with the garbage who decided to play god and take a life.

Us black people have a right to be angry. I also would like slavery to be brought back so that white people can be the slaves of us african americans. That would make things even.

I knew Ashley recently, my heart bleeds for her, her children, who she loved dearly, her precious grandmother, her brothers and mom. I was devastated when I heard of this. Ashley had a heart of gold. She helped so many. Ashley was the kind of person who would have your back. She was so spunky and full of life. There is not a day that goes by that I will ever stop thinking of her and praying for her family. I am so sorry this happened to you all. Please let her children know how much she loved them. I pray for you all to have strength and just know you will be reunited with her in heaven again one day.
These people that did this to her, make me sick. I am absolutely disgusted with them. These are scum of the earth, trash! I hope and pray God sends these people to burn in **** forever.

Vinyl Lined Zippered Pouches
Thursday, January 12, 2012 at 4:16AM
For my mom's birthday, I made her a set of zippered pouches. She had seen me make so many for other people, that she would occasionally mention how she wanted some for herself. Of course, I made sure I remembered which fabrics she gravitated towards - her favorite being the black fabric with white flowers which came from an old dress of mine.
To keep this project interesting and fresh, I experimented with a different way to sew on the zipper. The difference isn't too noticeable, but I feel the pouches look more polished than the way I used to sew them. If you can't figure out what changes I made, I'll take that as you saying my pouches looked awesome already. ;)
