Sounders Insider
Union reacts to 2-0 win over Sounders
Here's some of what the Philadelphia Union had to say after their 2-0 win over the Sounders tonight:
Coach Peter NowakOn controlling the ball most of the match) "In the first half we couldn't figure out a way to break them down in the final third. I think we made a couple of adjustments at halftime and it worked out well. We tried to push the game from the outside." On the differences in coaching a team in year two) "On the first game we played here we spent a lot of time with the team, the expansion team hoping for the best. You never know what will come out. We spent three weeks in training camp and it just wasn't enough. During the season you get used to each other to my training method, tactical, everything. Today the players understand the concepts, the tactical concepts, how they prepare themselves. I think this team is completely different than the one here 18 months ago." On Freddy Adu addition to this team) "I think it was the right move for him to come back. I know him very well and he knows me very well. He knows how to approach the training methods and how to be apart of the team. For a couple of weeks he was injured and we didn't try to push the envelope. We knew he would come back and he did and I think he had a strong game. I think he needs to be a little bit more involved, I give him a lot of freedom out on the field. In the second half he figured when to attack in, when to be a play maker. I think the goal is fantastic for his confidence and for his future." On the lessons Freddy Adu learned on his travels through Europe) "I told him seven years when he joined D.C. United that what we are trying to do here is kindergarten compared to what he will face in Europe. Over there the coaches, players, travel, media all different than here. In his first year he had four or five coaches each one with different styles. Sometimes those coaches won't talk to a player or explain anything. I think he learned the hard way and it is good to have him back and scoring goals for us again." Freddy AduOn coming the first goal) "That goal was all Gabe [Farfan] it was just great work down the line. As a professional player we were taught to always go to the near post when the ball is down the line, to try to get in front of the defender. Low and behold the ball popped up right were I was." On getting a good strike on the ball for his score) "Yeah, I was falling down and I had to concentrate on getting a good foot on it. The only place I could hit it was going up, trying to hit the ball to the roof of the net. I knew Kasey [Keller] was there but when your falling down you want to hit the ball as hard as you can." On the environment at CenturyLink Field) "The environment amazing, it is my first time playing here in an MLS game. It is amazing; it has a very European field to it. The surface is something different, I don't really enjoy playing on turf but we all have to play on it and adjust to it. As you saw a couple of passes got away from us and you really have to concentrate on your passes and shots. I thought we did a great job." Former Sounder Sebastian Le TouxOn getting a win and back into first place) "It is huge win for us to get it here, especially after the Sounders U.S. Open Cup win. To come on out into the west and get a win is a big confidence boost for us. It is big win for us to be on top in the East." On the positives) "We were consistent, and coming up with some big stops in the middle and through the first half. In the second half, we had a few occasions to score when we had our chances." On being able to finish in the second half) "The surface here is pretty fast and some of the players have not had an opportunity to play on it. In the second we were more confident with the ball."

Counterfeit bills found
November 16, 2017
WORLAND — Recently 2 counterfeit $100 bills have been found on the ground at separate locations in Worland, according to a press release from the Washakie County Sheriff's Office and Worland Police Department.
These fake bills are known as "Chinese Prop Money" and have been around for several years. They come in other denominations in addition to the $100 bills. The bills have pink chinese writing on them but otherwise look very similar to the real thing. These particular bills usually pass the counterfeit marker test, but they are still counterfeit.

According to E! Online, George O'Malley will not be a returning character on next season of Grey's Anatomy. While the cliff-hanger season finale left George flat lining, viewers had hope that Seattle Grace doctors might help the character make a miracle recovery with medical intervention – however, according to these reports, it's time that we stop getting our hopes up.
There have been rumors for quite some time that T.R. Knight has wanted out of his Grey's Anatomy contract, which creator Shonda Rhimes recently denied; however, with his declining screen time on the show any dissatisfaction with his role would not be surprising.
Naturally, ABC representatives have refused to comment on these rumors – which would spoil one of the most dramatic plotlines that viewers have encountered for some time watching the hit show that airs on CTV in Canada.
I think it goes without saying that you'll have to tune into next season's premier episode in order to get some closure on plotlines which have left characters played by T.R. Knight and Katherine Heigl in limbo, hanging somewhere between life and death.

Tips of Choosing the Right Florist
Nowadays, florists are not solely into the business of selling flowers. When you visit the shop or websites of florists; you find other things from hampers to chocolate. Due to the increased demand of these services, more flower shops are being started by many people. Because of the many florists in the market, the task of selecting the best florists is very challenging. Regardless of your personal needs, the below pointers will come in handy in your search for the perfect florist.
The proficient experts in the flower business will provide you with top advice regarding the right products to choose depending on the occasion or your needs. There is so much that goes into selecting the right flowers other than the colors, like the shapes, types, and sizes. Many individuals who do not know how to arrange flowers will have no clue when it comes to choosing the right flowers as well. If you are such kind of a person, work with a proffesional florist. Many people will only settle for florists that are within their vicinity. You should, however, keep an open mind since at times the best florists are not near where you live. Ensure that you do sufficient research on the prospect florists before you start working with them. While carrying out your search, prioritize the people who are members of professional bodies. Proficient florists usually are part and parcel of professional groups since they will try being the best in their field. Thus you must bear in mind this facet when out in the market searching for the ideal florist.
The best specialist is the one that has a wide range of flowers regarding types shapes and colors. You should not be in a hurry when visiting the shop for the first time; check the freshness of flowers and how they are arranged.If you do not do this, it will mean that you are also not a professional to care about the appearance of the flowers and you will also not expect them to care much about the flowers. All proficient florists must be ready, and willing to serve their customers well and provide the best products and services to meet their different needs. They should go out of their way to ensure your flower needs are met since you are their client and they are in business.If you encounter a florist who mistreats you, you should not give then your money since they do not deserve your business; look for someone else.
The best recommendations will be given y close family members friends and workmates.It is possible that each one of these people will have their florists and they can give you some very valuable feedback on the same. Sample a few florists before you finally settle for one.

KARACHI:- An appellate bench of High Court of Sindh (SHC) comprising Justice Munib Akhtar and Justice Zulfiqar Ahmed Khan on Friday ordered Additional Director, Intelligence and Investigations (I&I) to appear before it on Dec 11.
The order came during hearing of a Special Customs Reference Application (SCRA) filed by one Miraj Gul who challenged the confiscation of Diesel allegedly for being smuggled one.
During the hearing, it was noted by the bench that almost at all stages of controversy, the officials ordered sampling and testing of the seized diesel for establishing that whether it is smuggled one or supplied by local company.
Kashif Nazeer advocate appearing for respondent conceded the fact that Adjudicating Officer as well as Customs Tribunal has held that sampling be done to establish origin of the disputed/confiscated diesel.
The counsel for petition submitted that eight months have passed and going back to the custom authorities would be an exercise in futility. The bench after hearing the sides ordered Additional Director I&I to appear before the court and explain that why orders by the tribunal was not being implemented. The court fixed dec 11 as next date of hearing.

text: "Manimal" is a reflection about relationship between man and animal. The word "animal" derives from Latin "animal-animalis" which alludes to the faculties of each animal being to possess soul. The development of capitalism, based on the concept according to which everything is a product with a price, has contributed to the abandonment of any symbolic and spiritual approach to nature, humans and animals. Various ancient mythological beliefs conceive animal like deity or privileged being of connection to God, bearer of adversities or fortune; the cancellation of myths and traditions by the European bloody colonizers in Africa and South America, atheism, distorted interpretations of religious texts to political and economic aims, the birth of capitalism and the gradual advance of the cultural massification thank to the expansion of globalization has determined the process according to which animal can be treated like object. Does this contemporary man behaviour depend on a wrong cultural "evolution" (if the today's involution can called "evolution" yet) or does it exist an innate tendence or a brotherhood feeling of man to conceive animal as a being who, while provided of soul, must be respected and helped? This reportage is narrating the experience of a hawk trainer and about a rodeo during an event, the Road Show, in which Italian cowboys on horses must capture as cows as possible with a jest.

In Defense of Nonprofit Business Tactics to Preserve Cultures - Part 1
Author: Dustin Hall
Dustin Hall also published on this topic on Medium.com
How Product Management skills and agile business tactics can help a nonprofit organization's mission
My first work after Product Manager School was five months of consulting at a nonprofit. I quickly learned that the differences between nonprofit and for-profit companies don't really impact the development of the products and services themselves. Soon after meeting the CoDA team, I knew that the skills I'd been developing in school could be put to good use in this unexpected new setting.
Although not trying to appeal to investors, nonprofits have to convince granting bodies and donors that they are worthy of resources, which means they often have to answer tough questions about their goals, business, and plans. Nonprofits still have to answer the question, "Do our services fit our audience?" a question Product Managers are expected to answer. Depending on the size of a nonprofit, there may not be the staff to lead product and services development full time. These tips are intended to coach nonprofits on how to put their services through the rigor that most startups demand of their own innovative services and products today.
These were just few of the assumptions I started with:
- Nonprofits are just businesses that don't pay taxes
- Nonprofits shouldn't seem too businessy
- Cultural Preservation, being academic, needs to be completely open access-y
This post has two layers to it: On a high level, laying out how the new Product Management skills I learned in school could (and should) be applied to my work in a nonprofit, and then specifically, how agile business tactics, in general, could help this organization's mission to help save endangered cultures through digital preservation and responsible sharing.
To say that "things didn't go as planned" after finishing Product Management School would be an understatement, but also an overstatement about whether there could ever really be a plan at all. I thought that my (work experience) + (new training) would equal sufficient qualifications, and therefore I'd waltz into a new job in any new company. After two months of threshing about in the Bay Area's turbulent waters of cover letters, interviews and networking events, I began to realize that finding a job wasn't straightforward like a math equation, but closer to alchemy and magic. Luckily, I soon found a handhold on an unexpected shore: a nonprofit comprised of four people. And so began the creative commingling of my newly formed business tactics in service of this organization's social mission.
The company, the products, and the clients
CoDA, was sponsored to partner with other organizations, including WSU's Center for Digital Scholarship and Curation (CDSC) in creating Mukurtu Content Management System, an open source platform focused on supporting the unique needs of native communities; groups whose content is sacred, irreplaceable if ever lost or damaged, and which requires access protocols that change from tribe to tribe based on their unique, particular traditions. Rote solutions like Private/Public access static websites, storing content in Dropbox or Google drive, and using Facebook groups to engage members are not options for these communities. No user agreement would ever hand ownership of these precious knowledge collections over to another company or any other institutional body outside of the tribal community for what matters. These are other times in history, when ancient communities have reclaimed their identity and are taking ownership of their heritage to save it from loss or misappropriation. I was thrilled to be part of such an endeavor, of exploring ways in which the "business ways" could be out in service of such a noble cause.
From the start, I was never conflicted about putting Product Management skills to work for CoDA's mission. Now, forgive my "businessy" terminology henceforth, it is functional to tell my experience from my perspective. Like many other companies, this organization had a product and they needed to find out if there was a client segment for it, how big that market was, learn whether existing clients liked using it, and to prioritize which features to develop or change. Before long, I learned about the dissenting voices within this space. I learned of the conflict nonprofits feel about seeming too businessy. I experienced well-meaning push back on how to convey that we were in fact selling packages and services to people: Would our website be mission or product focused? Would we have prices for our products on the website, or through inquiry only? Do we do sales calls? Do we have a BUY NOW button? Should we be revenue driven or grant driven? I also learned that dealing with archaeological or cultural content is traditionally something linked to academia, and that there is a trend to make all research content open access (see for example the Open Context initiative). There was this article about how all digital research data should live in open context databases, accessible to everyone. In fact, our company was called out as one example of a company trying to somehow "profit off" of the cultural content of others. All of a sudden the expectation to be nimble and responsive in this nonprofit sounded a lot like the stories I hear about friends in their 'more traditional' early stage startups.
Think sustainable. Profitability is necessary.
Confronting the question about whether it ever be a problem for a nonprofit to act like a business, I learned that Kaiser Permanente and the Mayo Clinic are nonprofits, two companies that some people may assume are (even implicitly by not considering the point) regular for profit businesses. Then, a financial advisor relayed me a colloquial adage: "Nonprofits are just businesses that don't pay taxes." I think what they meant by that is that any company that ignores focusing on the profitability, and therefore the sustainability, of their organization, for the fear of seeming gauche, risks the long term sustainability of the organization altogether. It might seem obvious to anyone who already understands the notion of Conscious Capitalism, capital is the red blood cells that keep the body/company alive, but the purpose of living isn't to make red blood cells, it is to live with purpose as in Ed Freeman's quote "We need red blood cells to live (the same way a business needs profits to live), but the purpose of life is more than to make red blood cells (the same way the purpose of business is more than simply to generate profits)."
A nonprofit wears this concept a bit more on its sleeve, although B-Corps and other values driven businesses realize the same thing. In this view the quite direct criticism that this nonprofit was profiting off of the culture of others was not only unfair and incorrect, but actually a lot easier to address and reconcile (if only there weren't so many academics involved!) As a matter of fact, the mission of this company is to encourage the implementation of a content management system that fosters complete tribal ownership of their cultural content, forever. Compare and contrast for instance the above mentioned Open Context with the Sustainable Heritage Network initiative, Mukurtu CMS, Local Contexts. This company's list of web hosting, data services and CMS training packages – the things we should actually sell – are our response to the most frequent requests received by communities interested in preserving their cultures digitally but based on their own rules and protocols, not those of others.
Reassured that I could show up to work each day and act like some sort of Product Manager and Business-Guy All-Arounder, it was time to try some things and see what worked. In Part 2 of this post, to be published next week, I will describe 6 product management principles that I am adapting to this nonprofit reality.

Ask These Six Questions Before Deciding on an Auto Repair Shop
If you just paid seven figures at auction last year for a classic auto, and you're now stumped as to where to bring it to get serviced, it's OK. Lots of people just like you—with way less expensive rides—run into the same issue on a yearly basis. But the folks over at Bethesda, Maryland–based Car Car Council, a nonprofit organization that educates consumers on automotive-related issues, have some answers (or questions, actually).
We know how you feel about your car. Many of us feel the same way. Hell, Brian Wilson and Neil Young both wrote love songs about their rides. ("Don't Worry Baby" and "Long May You Run," respectively — indeed, the Beach Boys were all about autos, as anyone who's sung along to "409" knows well.) Finding the right auto-body shop to care for your pride-and-joy is a tremendous burden for any car-owner. So here are the six questions the Car Care Council says you should always ask before picking your next pit crew:
(1) Are the Employees of the Auto-Body Shop ASE Certified?
Since 1972, nonprofit ASE (or the National Institute of Automotive Service Excellence) has tested and certified auto repairers to upgrade the type of service you, the customer, receives. (Nearly 300,000 men and women are certified.) What this says about the repair shop is that their mechanics mean business—and they're not going to open up the hood of your '57 Chevy and cook two eggs over easy and some bacon on its still-running engine.
(2) Is the Shop and Customer Waiting Room Clean?
Go ahead and get that chuckle out of the way. One time, we had to get service done on our car (may she rest in peace), and the waiting area of the place we took her to had leather massage chairs, a flatscreen TV, and endless coffee and tea. Of course, those items were all there to lessen the shock of what the repair bill would be, but it also proved a point: an organized, clean, engaging waiting area is the sign of a well-run business. If the chairs are spattered with oil, a mangy dog is gnawing at the front desk's leg, and there are flies everywhere, why expect the service to be any more stellar than the ambiance?
(3) How Are Customers Greeted and Treated at the Shop?
Auto repair shops can easily be vetted for their customer service via phone. Is the guy on the other line interested in what you're telling him? Did he respond with informed answers when you mentioned what was wrong with your car? Was he friendly and respectful throughout the entire conversation, or did he just try to rush you off the phone? All of this will reflect in the work the shop eventually does on your prized possession. (Of course, you can also back this all up by reading reviews of the place online, too.)
(4) Did You Get a Written Estimate?
Look, every auto repair shop will do it differently; we recently got an estimate over the phone from a local place, and the actual total ended up being in the ballpark of the quote. But if you're getting a one-of-a-kind, $1 million vintage supercar repaired, you're going to want to get an estimate in writing. What exactly is being done to the car? How much are parts and labor? And if the work isn't satisfactory, can you bring it back and expect to have it completed ASAP? You want to make sure the team—yes, the team—that's working on fixing that supercar isn't going to go way over-budget. Or at the very least, knows how much you're willing to spend to get your Lamborghini disconnected from the wall it hit.
(5) Does the Shop Offer a Warranty?
We sort of dropped a hint about this in the previous blurb. According to the Car Care Council, "Most auto repair businesses offer a warranty on parts and labor and the warranty is usually in writing or posted in the waiting area." That means if you bring in the car on Jan. 23 and the repair shop says they'll get the work done in three weeks, you can hold them to that. This should also cover the parts and labor part, too. For example, if you hear something rattling under the hood on the drive home, you should be able to make a follow-up visit quickly and get whatever's rattling sorted out without an additional charge. Note: Many new cars come with a warranty, but you can opt to get an extended one. (Obviously, this doesn't factor in if you buy a car at auction or from another collector.)
(6) Does the Shop Have a List of References That It's Willing to Give You?
The internet has made it a hell of a lot easier to figure out which repair shops are going to give you the best service, but you'd be surprised at how difficult it is to find legitimate reviews of repair shops online. (We were once pointed to a supposed online Bible for auto repair reviews, only to realize that it hadn't been updated since the '90s!) Beyond trying to figure out whether the Yelp reviews are from well-informed sources, you can ask auto repair shops to provide you with references or testimonials from other customers. For higher-end automobiles, we'd suggest searching fan forums online, or contacting the companies directly. If they don't repair vintage versions of their cars, they'll certainly know the best-known mechanics in the world who do.
For additional pointers on picking the right auto repair shop, watch the video below.

how to dry skin brush
I'm always fascinated with the new ways we can show up in our health & self-care routine. This is what lead me to dry skin brushing - a concept I had NO idea about until I read a little blurb on it, which instantly captivated me. This was going to be yet another way I could truly focus on living out a beautiful, glowing lifestyle with one simple addition!
If you're unfamiliar with this whole concept, then you've come to the right place. Because I am just an ordinary mom trying to up-level her health when she can, and I love that this is a very simple way to do it. It requires only a couple minutes a day - so are you ready?!
What is dry skin brushing?
It's a method of brushing your skin with a special brush (more on that below) to get the lymphatic system going by stimulating it. When you think about it, your skin is your largest organ, so it deserve precious care. Dry skin brushing not only helps cleanse the body, but helps unclog our pores (ie: since toxins are eliminate through the skin which requires cleared pores ;) & excrete any of those toxins causing havoc in our bodies.
You use a special tool called a dry skin brush (I use one very similar to this as a short handle option and one like this as a long handle option). Just make sure it comes with natural bristle! Plus, the handle comes in handy for reaching your whole body!
How do I dry skin brush (in simple steps)?
1. Get naked (ooo lala!) & step into your shower or tub. This way any dead skin that gets removed in the brushing process is contained in the shower or tub (gross, I know, but it's the truth!).
2. If you're using essential oils, add a few drops of an oil to your brush. My faves to add are: cedarwood, myrrh or zendocrine (the detox blend), patchouli, pink pepper, bergamot, and slim & sassy (the metabolic blend). I only select one oil per use.
3. Start brushing, while always moving TOWARDS the heart. There's 2 ways to do this:
1) You can use long sweeping brush motions/strokes, or…
2) Small circular motions.
I prefer #1 myself, but this choice is up to you! You'll want to sweep/brush over the area a couple times before moving to the next.
Your order could go something like this:
start at bottoms of legs/top of feet, work up to the bum
brush up the bum to the low back + your sides
start at the hands and work up to the shoulder
head back to the belly - do about 10 clockwise circles around the belly (always in this direction)
brush down the neck & down the upper back
brush across the chest (brushing slow + carefully over this tender area)
4. When done, rinse your brush off then hop in the shower/bath!
5. Post-shower, use some unscented lotion (doTERRA's is my fave with a drop of eo in it) or an body oil. I love baobab for this - and slather on the body!
What are the benefits to dry skin brushing?
For me - the benefits below were BIG sellers & why I knew I needed to start this new ritual. Remember how I mentioned above that your skin is your largest organ + a main way to detox the bod? Well, dry skin brushing is an amazing way to stimulate the lymphatic system & kick it into gear. You'll get your circulation going & help express the toxins from the body better.
It also is amazing for removing dead skin cells (the gross part), but your skin will become SO marvelous & smooth, as a result.
And what about that cellulite that no one loves? It's amazing for, again, helping with circulation and unclogging those pores to help it breathe better. This is why I take eeeextra care in brushing around the upper legs & bum area ;) It's also why I love putting a drop of slim & sassy on my brush (as I switch up the oils) because it helps with this issue also.
So, take the few mins before you pop into the shower to do this simple, but truly glowing self-care ritual to lead you to a natural + rocking lifestyle. Try it out for 30 days. Just enough time to make it start sticking as a habit & show you how beneficial it is to your skin.
So, now the real question...
Have I convinced you? Is this something you're going to add to your glowing self-care routine soon? Leave any comments or questions below and happy brushing!

by Harrison Crow (@harrison_crow) & Ian L. (@the16thdoc)
Welcome to Lowered Expectations, the week seven edition! Each week, we go about posting chalkboards and GIFs of the weekend's best open-play shot attempts that did not quite live up to expectations. We look at each one and not only evaluate the results, but also the process that led to them.
#5 - Khiry Shelton, Sporting Kansas City, 23rd minute, 0.389 expected goals
Assisted by: Daniel Salloi
Passes in sequence: 15
Finishing is a touchy subject. There are many ideas stemming from a subsection of the traditional soccer crowd that bandies about the idea of there being a huge differentiating skill in "getting the ball past the keeper" in MLS. In few cases, maybe more, this is a legit skill. But most frequently these bumps in scoring percentage are more chaotic and random than some indication of uncanny skill.
However, when most commentators talk about situational chances and how "they must finish better" or "so and so has to finish that opportunity" they're most frequently talking about either physical composure in that instance which can lead to how a player positions their body as they set themselves up to take shot or it's directed towards decision making within the shot.
In the long term this mostly works itself out in the data year over year. But looking at this isolated situation it's fair to say that Khiry Shelton didn't do a good job of finishing the shot. But that "finish" has nothing to do with his mechanics or methodology of striking the ball and nothing that necessarily indicates further problems, probably.
I'm fairly certain that Shelton struck the ball and put it roughly where he thought it'd end up. But that location was bad and considering the time involved in the decision making he perhaps thought about it too much.
Looking at the replay we obviously have the advantage of seeing what he should have done. When Shelton receives the pass from Dániel Sallói he has almost a full second in front of goal to take the shot. His decision making here isn't good, despite there being a great save by Stefan Frei. Shelton could and should have put that in a place that Frei could not have reached.
#4 - Ben Spencer, Toronto FC, 36th minute, 0.405 expected goals
Assisted by: Ager Aketxe
Number of passes in sequence: 4
First, you gotta love the run by Ager Aketxe. This game felt a bit of a "dumping" by Toronto as they prepped for their midweek game against Chivas, but it really showed what they have in Aketxe. Here he looks like a lesser Giovinco (and he helped create 11 shots in the game).
This sequence doesn't really come across as anything special from the eye test, especially after that miss by Shelton. But while the run isn't really challenged, you can see Aketxe spots Enzo Martinez making his way towards him, and starts looking for the next move. The connection between Martinez and Ben Spencer is a bit haphazard, but it's a great call by the young pup to jump up and immediately signal Aketxe.
It looks like Axel Sjoberg is trying to direct traffic with Deklan Wynne kind of stuck in 'should I or should I not' land. Wynne probably should have challenged Aketxe, but you can tell he has one eye on Tosaint Ricketts out wide and looks to be worried about getting beat around the end line into the 18 yard box. This creates just enough space for Aketxe to send that ball in and for Spencer to challenge Timmy Howard.
#3 - Jesus Medina, New York City, 54th minute, 0.464 expected goals
Assisted by: NA
Number of passes in sequence: 3
This series is started and completed by Maximiliano Moralez, but the highest opportunity of the two shots is by Jesus Medina. Medina gets a foot on a shot after a couple of deflections off a pass from Jo Inge Berget.
The run by Berget as he sees Moralez recover the ball is great. He gets a jump on the defender and pushes the offside line. This leads to a great through pass from Moralez and sets up the pass into Medina. David Horst slides and looks to get a toe on the ball, preventing the entry pass. The deflection falls to Adam Henley, who fails in a dramatically way to clear the ball and gives Medina his opportunity to take a shot.
This whole sequence is a great example of just one of the many ailments with Real Salt Lake right now. This ball should be cleared once, twice, maybe even three times, depending on what you think Damir Kreilach is supposed to be doing during this whole commotion. But two shots are created each with a legit chance to cause trouble, when they were already down 3-0.
#2 - Dominic Dwyer, Orlando City, 90th minute, 0.481 expected goals
Assisted by: Justin Meram
Number of passes in sequence: 12
This moment. This single moment encapsulates why Orlando went out and spent the way they did to get both Justin Meram and Dominic Dwyer. Sure, Dwyer's foot gets a bit low on the ball and skies it over the uprights. But the way that Orlando handled this possession sequence is exactly how Jason Kreis wants his team to.
Meram hangs out wide and times his run perfectly. As soon as Mohamed El-Munir releases the ball, Meram is off to the races and in perfect symmetry with Dwyer, who also breaks, while making sure to stay behind the ball.
This is just one of many high leverage opportunity the two could create together if they start to get on the same page.
#1 - Alberth Elis, Houston Dynamo, 7th minute, 0.740 expected goals
Assisted by: Romell Quioto
Number of passes in sequence: 4
I've talked a lot about "runs" being made in this edition, but this is the highlight of them all. This run by Alberth Elis is incredible. You can see Elis come in to the picture at the top right as the ball pings off Andrew Wenger. Elis makes his way to that near post run, and then springs forward in the last few yards to create a shot that surely would have been far too much for Andrew Tarbell, had it been on target.
Elis is throwing up big numbers this year and not only does have the highest xG (4.1) from open play in MLS right now, but he has highest xG at this stage of the season since Marco Di Vaio's 4.3 xG back in 2014. In fact, since 2011 only four players have ever thrown up 4.0 xG at this stage of the season; Christian Ramirez ('17), Di Vaio ('14) and Chris Wondolowski ('13).
But goals and the expectations aren't the only things that Elis is bringing to the table. His xG+xA of 6.49 leads the league as well. What makes that number even more special is that since Clint Dempsey in 2014, no one has surpassed the 5 xG+xA mark at this point in the season. Heck, no player had ever surpassed the 6 xG+xA without the aid of penalties, but Elis has done both and is marching towards setting a new mark this year.
It's also mportant to note that Tomas Martinez has himself a game against San Jose. He did a great job dishing off to Romell Quioto, but only after he drew in Yefferson Quintana, which gave Quioto just enough space to get touch into the box and create the opportunity for the springing Elis.
For our final sets of GIFs let's give a shout out to this week's lowest shot probability that actually culminated in a goal being scored...
Alexander Ring, New York City, 72nd minute, 0.039 expected goals
Assisted by: David Villa
Number of passes in sequence: 4
I'm not a european soccer watcher. I've seen a fair amount of soccer games but I can't say I saw a lot of David Villa at either Barcelona or Atlético Madrid. But this moment seems like one of those typical magic Villa moments.
The goal of course was scored by Alexander Ring and I do not wish to take anything away from him. But the whole thing is Villa magic because he is dispossessed eleventy billion times and yet Atlanta defense is unable to come away with the ball. That's not to discredit Michael Parkhurst or Darlington Nagbe who each take turns being inside Villa's back pocket.
The pass back to Ring from Villa even positions the Finnish international to receive it, and then set up to take it with his preferred right foot. The shot itself, a high and hard curler into the near-post is astounding, but it is made all the more special by the series of events that led up to the shot. The whole thing feels like destiny and should set up a fantastic replay at Yankee stadium on June 9th.
That's all for this week's edition of Lowered Expectations. I hope that it lived up to yours. An extra big and very special thank you to my podcast mate and @TotalMLS twitter personality Ian L. for providing the high quality GIFs for this post.

Openings: Tani To Join Centene Plaza, Pasta House Coming To Festus, Jay B's Opens Downtown
Tani Sushi Bistro is moving on up… to Forsyth Boulevard, that is, and joining Pastaria in the Centene Plaza Shops. Currently located just around the corner at 16 S. Bemiston, the Japanese eatery has gained a cult following that will surely migrate with them to their next location. The new space—which is rumored to soon have even more impressive neighbors—will expand the restaurant's seating capacity from 85 diners to 130. Owners Jenny and Eric Heckman hope to open the doors at the Forsyth location in the spring.
The 21st location of local restaurant chain Pasta House is set to open this spring in Festus. It will be owned by developer Don Bolinger and his wife Rhiannon, who first met at a Pasta House restaurant (and who also opened the Union location). Bolinger plans to make the newest iteration the most unique to date, creating a neighborhood bar-like ambiance and using the story of Pasta House as the impetus for the décor, celebrating the franchise's contributions to local history. With ground-breaking planned for December, the couple is hoping for a March or April opening date.
Friday, Nov. 1, marked the opening of Jay B's Sandwiches at 1730 Olive St., Downtown, taking the place of recently shuttered Hoagie City Diner, which closed on Sept. 30. Jay B's owners Debra Millender and Jason Barnes are hoping to bring something new to the established (and impressive) local sandwich scene with what they are calling "the biggest around"—their sammies and salads will feature a half-pound of meat. The partners hope to eventually expand the concept to multiple locations around St. Louis.

As a campaign for a school for students in grades 5 through 12 seeks to encourage parents to enroll their children, it also has a larger purpose: helping to change perceptions about students who are described with terms like learning disabilities, learning differences, special needs and special education.
The campaign is for Bridges Academy, in the Studio City section of Los Angeles, which calls itself a school for the twice exceptional, or 2e — that is, students with high abilities who are judged to be talented, gifted or highly gifted and also dealing with conditions like dyslexia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism, Asperger syndrome, dysgraphia and problems in processing audio or visual information.
The campaign presents famous achievers from history — like Jane Austen, Charles Darwin, Leonardo da Vinci, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Abraham Lincoln, Michelangelo, Wolfgang Mozart and George Washington — who are identified as "believed to have been twice exceptional, or 2e."
"At Bridges Academy, we are completely devoted to the social, emotional, intellectual, academic and creative growth of our 2e students," the ads declare. "After all, we could be teaching this generation's Leonardo da Vinci" (or Darwin, or Emerson, and so forth).
The campaign carries a theme -- "Educating the exceptional ²" -- that began as a phrase that appears numerous times on the website of Bridges Academy. The school also has a division called The 2e Center for Research and Professional Development.
The campaign is being created pro bono by an agency in New York named the Terri & Sandy Solution. The campaign includes print ads, online ads, brochures and posters. There are also materials that will be used internally at Bridges Academy, like content for emails and signs to be posted on hallway walls.
The total budget for the campaign through next year is estimated at more than $1.5 million.
"For a lot of schools, teachers, the system of education, learning is based on a deficit model: 'What's wrong with you? Let's try to fix that,'" says Carl Sabatino, headmaster of Bridges Academy.
He estimates that about 2 percent of all students "suffer operating under a deficit model" because they are "capable of creating, producing, thinking" but that goes unrecognized.
"Yes, they have these learning disabilities," Mr. Sabatino says, "but they also have this potential that must be tapped."
"We have to make sure we help all of them," he adds.
The historical figures are meant to "personify the potential of these children," Mr. Sabatino says, and help the campaign as it seeks to reach "a larger audience."
Each famous face "takes you from a label to a person to an icon," he adds.
How did a New York agency end up creating work for a school in Los Angeles? As is often the case in advertising, a personal connection figures in, in this instance involving the vice chairwoman of the board of Bridges Academy, Lori Lepler, who is a parent of a seventh grader at the school, her son, Eli.
Ms. Lepler is a former New Yorker now living in the Los Angeles area who worked at New York agencies that included JWT, then J. Walter Thompson; Frankfurt Gips Balkind; and Ogilvy & Mather. When Ms. Lepler worked as a senior vice president and management director at Thompson, her counterparts on the creative side were the women who eventually founded the Terri & Sandy Solution, Terri Meyer and Sandy Greenberg.
"Two years ago, when my son joined the school, I realized it was a small school with a huge idea of an education model," Ms. Lepler says, adding that after she joined the Bridges Academy board, "as a board we developed, with Carl's stewardship, brand positioning and strategy."
"And then I appealed to Terri and Sandy, whom I've known for 20 years, with whom I worked side by side," to work on a campaign, Ms. Lepler says. She praises Ms. Meyer and Ms. Greenberg for what she calls "their strategic horsepower to problem-solve and their creative prowess."
After the agency came back with the campaign, Ms. Lepler says, "we immediately recognized, 'Wow, this is us, and this is big.'"
The strong point is that the ads are focused "on the end benefit" of an education at Bridges Academy, she adds, which is "to unlock the potential of each student. These kids are so full of potential, but you can't fulfill it till you find it."
Ms. Greenberg says that she and Ms. Meyer, as they began to work on the campaign, decided to focus on how "Bridges is an environment that builds on strengths to help students overcome their challenges."
"There was this term on the website, 'twice exceptional,' which I'd never heard of," Ms. Greenberg says, "and we started looking into it" as a way to convey the mission of the school along with featuring the historical figures who may "today be diagnosed as twice exceptional."
Ms. Meyer takes issue with a suggestion that the phrase will be dismissed as a euphemism, an attempt to soft-pedal a problem or an example of marketing jargon.
"We didn't make it up; we were not coining a phrase," Ms. Meyer says. Rather, "it's a term accepted in that community" of educators, she adds, which makes it "a term that's acceptable."
"There are no universal words to explain how these children are," Ms. Meyer says. "Something meaningful, something uplifting could make kids and parents feel better about themselves," she adds, compared with what she deems "negative terminology" like "learning challenged" or "learning disabled."

Why I Didn't Join the Women's March and Other Thoughts on the Presidential Inauguration
I realize that making my first blog post a political one could alienate many people from wanting to read further posts. While I do not wish to write something others might find offensive, the events of this weekend are important enough that I'm willing to take the risk.
First of all, let me say that I did not vote for Donald Trump. Nor did I vote for Hillary Clinton. Now that we've cleared that up, here are my thoughts on the Women's March and the Presidential Inauguration:
Yesterday, hundreds of thousands of people flooded the streets of Washington, D.C., New York, Chicago, Boston, and other cities around the country and world to protest the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States. I supported their right to be there, but I did not join them.
I have long considered myself a feminist in the sense that I support equal pay, equal opportunity, paid maternity leave, anti-discrimination measures, and the right of a woman to choose to work outside the home. But I am also pro-life and believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman. And I believe in the incomparable value of having a woman stay home to raise children.
Many women across the country share these same ideologies. Yet those women were not included as welcome recipients at the women's marches occurring throughout the country. According to this NY Times article, those women were left with no doubt that joining the march would mean supporting one position and one platform. And that message was driven home twice, once when march organizers uninvited a pro-life group after calling the decision to include them "a mistake", and again when pro-life supporters were deliberately drowned out by their pro-choice counterparts.
Another recent NY Times article titled "Ivanka Trump's Dangerous Fake Feminism" called this wife, businesswoman, and mother of three "a kind of post-feminist huckster, selling us traditional femininity and support of male power wrapped up in a feminist bow." And this is because she unselfishly decided to leave her job and move to Washington to support her husband and father, and where she will initially spend her time helping her children get acclimated to a new school.
This is why I did not march.
If feminism means not prioritizing your children to prove you're just as good as a man, all while shouting "Hands off my Uterus!", then no, I'm not a feminist. If feminism means supporting equal pay and equal opportunity, then yes, I am a feminist. But the feminists appear to be screaming that it's all or nothing, which to me is just another brand of discrimination. In my mind, equality isn't necessarily sameness.
So instead of joining, I stayed home and watched Michael Moore look like a lunatic. I watched Elizabeth Warren wear her Planned Parenthood scarf and talk about how Republicans were Public Enemy #1. And I was glad I wasn't there.
I did, however, go to the inauguration.
Whatever your political leanings, a presidential inauguration is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and I would have gone whether it was for the Nasty Woman or the Orange Manatee. And while I was there, I couldn't help but appreciate the unbelievable democratic miracle of peaceful transitions of power. To watch Barack Obama voluntarily hand over power to Donald Trump, even though he knew that Trump would try to dismantle most of the policies he put in place, is nothing short of miraculous. And standing there, I couldn't help but hope that Trump does a good job. I hope his efforts strengthen our country and make it better. Because it's our country that's at stake, and hoping that he fails is hoping against ourselves.
The inauguration and subsequent marches further highlight the division in our country right now. When Trump won, I was unbelievably disheartened by the extreme vitriol of the left towards the right. Many students and professors at my school had no problem pontificating on the plight of the poor backwards alt-right Republicans, wondering how they could still be so racist and sexist and uneducated. I watched people spend hours trying to understand the thought process of a group of people they knew nothing about, but whom they instantly considered inferior. For the first time in my life, I saw the country as a series of bubbles, each equally powerful in shaping the biases and opinions of the people who live within them. And Washington, D.C., is a powerful bubble.
I get it. I understand why people are so upset over a Trump win. He is a deplorable human being who was a master of marketing and manipulation and ran a campaign that capitalized on fear and espoused hate. For these reasons, I didn't vote for him, even though his brand of bile was slightly more tolerable to me than Hillary's. Even now, some of his policies and cabinet picks terrify me. But I also understand the people who did vote for him. They're not racist or sexist. They're just regular people who are worried about illegal immigration and national security and earning enough money to support their families. To them, Trump was the lesser evil. And for this, they've been put through the ringer by their neighbors wearing blue.
I too worry about the future of our country. I worry about a Trump presidency and what will happen with the issues addressed at the women's marches yesterday. But when the fanfare dies down and the media goes home, then what? Who picks up the banner to help the homeless, the unemployed, the victims of terrorist attacks? A message was sent yesterday, but a message that said what? Trump's #notmypresident? Yet he is their President. He is my President, just as Barack Obama was my President, even though I voted for neither. If you don't like it, go ahead and march. Go ahead and demand more. It's your right and I support it.
But here's what I'm going to do. Instead of marching to an uncertain conclusion, I'm going to vote. I'm going to do my part in the political sphere. I'm going to support my fellow man and make the community around me better. I'm going to stand up for all kinds of feminism – the feminism that supports motherhood and femininity and strong family values. I don't need to walk around bare-breasted, holding pictures of a uterus or vagina, to make my point. And I especially don't need to join a march that claims to be for all women but only accepts those who think like them.
True tolerance means that there will be times when we agree to respectfully disagree. It means that we support each other's right to believe differently than we do, and that we all understand that we do not have the market cornered on a better way of life. It means we appreciate and embody William Penn's vision for America as a "marketplace of ideas", something that can't exist if we keep calling the other side bigots and preventing them from coming to the table. This is our America, one that belongs to all of us, liberal and conservative alike. We are "…one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

There are many on-line websites out there which are offering nice discounts or free presents. This is because of the sheer competition as each and every firm is battling for costumers. So try and be open and see what each firm is providing. Some enterprise might offer free valet providers whereas others could supply free parking for some days.
The lasagna packages state that it doesn't should boil before visiting the oven. Nonetheless the old Italian ladies are distrustful and strategy it their approach. Precisely what do they're doing? Put in the lasagna sheets for 1 minute in to the boiling salted water after which use them a dishtowel, without lounging one upon one other. (Whenever you purchase to not boil them, they're going to come much less softy and likewise the sauce will not mix quite a bit.)
Exterior the Old Town there are a couple of other points of interest including the Scott Monument, dedicated to Sir Walter Scott a famed Scottish poet and novelist; the Royal Yacht Britannia which has been retired and is permanently moored on the Ocean Terminal in Leith; and there is also the Royal Botanic Gardens and Edinburgh Zoo.
The level 2 program takes a day to complete. Nonetheless; be aware that different related food handing programs will be made accessible to you.

Converted to a Roth and Regret It? There's Time to Undo the Damage
Recent Roth IRA converts like Phil Cacioppo are experiencing some serious financial regrets.
After converting his individual retirement account to a Roth IRA, and paying roughly $50,000 in taxes when he filed his 2001 return back in April, Mr. Cacioppo, the semi-retired founder of entrepreneur-support group Entrepreneurial Support Council in Chicago, watched the investments in his account fall sharply in value.

I am often asked:
"I want to earn money from the internet, especially from Adsense. But which one is the best, which is easier: managing a blog or managing Youtube? "
I replied: depends. Depending on their interests, preferences and abilities. Some do not like to make videos, but love to write, then make the blog is clearly more potential for it.
Conversely, some are not too fond of writing, but happy to make creative videos. In this case obviously maximizing Youtube would be much better.Which is the best?
The best is if you are able to combine the two. Make blogs on topics that you master, complete with pictures and videos on Youtube, this will make your content more 'festive'. Your blog and Youtube channel will be mutually reinforcing one another. That way, your goal can make money from Youtube, will reap amazing results.
Well, for those of you who decide to manage Youtube seriously, in this article I will convey tips on how to make videos that get a lot of view from viewers.Initial step
Easy enough to get started. You do not have to force yourself to buy expensive equipment to become a successful Youtuber. Try using a device you already have, like a webcam. Use software like Camtasia if you want to record computer screen. Use an easy and free editing program, like Movie Maker to edit your videos.
The most important thing is, try to dare to appear in front of the camera. And remember, no one is born with a 'good' talent in front of the camera. It's the experience and practice that keeps you going.
Try recording some videos just for you to watch yourself and learn from it. Create a video script, if it helps you be more confident.
However, if you have not been interested in appearing in front of the camera, the easiest step is to start from the screen capture. This is the most easy video you create, but with the creativity you have, you have so many things to share. Video tutorials are still the most searched video type, and screen capture is excellent as video tutorials.
You just need to record what you do on your computer screen. No need a camera, no lights needed. And you do not have to worry about your appearance in the camera, because you just record what's on the computer screen.
Optimize videos for others to discover
After you've created a video, it's time to do some optimizations to get your videos to watch. There is no magic trick that ensures the video gets view. 300 hours of average video uploaded to Youtube within 1 hour. In fact, most of the videos were not watched because they could not be found.
However, there are some things you can do, so your videos can be found and watched by people.
What to know: most Youtube users find videos from search results, from recommendations and related videos. Therefore, you should optimize your channel and videos to be more likely to be found and appear in front of them, focusing on all three of the above, winning competition on search results, recommendations and related videos.
There are many factors affecting Google and Youtube search algorithms, as well as related videos and recommendations. Some of them:Channel optimization
There are several things you can do in terms of channel optimization:
Number of videos. How many videos do you have, that's very important. Therefore increase the number of videos you make and multiply your video archives. If necessary, create a publishing schedule so you can follow the discipline.
Upload frequency. Google's algorithm is very fond of regular updates. The loyal audience, the customer, will be awakened due to the regular publishing of new content. Upload your latest videos regularly and with frequent frequencies. Tell the audience of your update schedule, make them look forward to your new video.
Video quality. HD videos (high definition), more likely to appear in search results than lower quality video. Therefore shoot your video with HD format.
Number of subscribers. It is important to have a subscriber in bulk, as it is one of the marks of popularity and trust of the viewers to your channel.
A call to viewers after watching a video
You can add a call to viewers, an invitation to subscribe to channels, likes, leave comments and share videos to social media. This is called call to action.
The first step is to get viewers to watch your videos longer. After that, invite them to do something like the example above. This is an important clue how good a video you've made.
The majority of Youtube viewers do nothing after watching the video. However, in order for your videos to grow organically, you need to get action from viewers after watching your video.
Encourage them to subscribe, like, comment or share videos to social media. And here are some things you can do:
Request a viewer to subscribe. Simply ask them to do it via your video. Or use annotations to do it. Alternatively, make your video ending template an invitation to subscribe.
Add channel trailers that are made as interesting as possible for viewers to subscribe to your channel.
Links from blogs. Embed your video in blog. Also add a blog reader request to subscribe to your Youtube channel.
Encourage viewers to comment. Ask the audience something, and invite them to answer it through comments. Use comment fields to build your community of channels. Reply to all incoming comments.
Use playlists. Organize your videos into different categories with playlists. Remember, your playlists do not necessarily contain your own videos, collecting videos on your topic, will increase your own channel engagement and view.
Cross promotion with other websites / blogs. This method can be tried and if successful will give a win-win solution between you and the blog owner. Try contacting bloggers who share the same topics as your Youtube video topic, asking them to promote your content to each other.
Give interesting 'gift' to subscribe. No need for physical gifts. Sentence: "Please subscribe for my special tips", will appeal to audiences who are interested in your topic.
Optimize Youtube video metadata
Metadata is information embedded in your videos, and helps Youtube get to know your video topics better. Talking about YouTube video metadata optimization, then you can optimize the most important things, such as: title, description, tags, thumbnails and annotations.
Here are the things you can do:Video file name
Use the most important keywords of your video as filenames. For example, the recipe-tongue-sapi.avi would be much better than mov12345.avi.Title (title)
This is the most dominant and most visible fact of your video. The video title is also the most important factor to get a good view and ranking in Youtube search. Here are some tips related to a good title:
Use titles that 'invite'. This is no different from making a good title for an article.
Use popular names, events and other keywords that people search for related to your videos.
Put the keyword at the beginning of the title.
Make it look natural. Do not stack keywords, and never just like creating keyword lists as titles.
There is a suggestion that says Youtube is able to recognize text on video. Therefore, it is ok to create a caption at the beginning of the video.
Include interesting information, do not forget to put your main keywords as well as other popular keywords.
Describe as clearly as possible about the video in the first paragraph.
The description is quite long, it will not be a problem. So, add as much information as you can about your video, include outbound links if necessary.
Do not over-optimized. Do not overload keywords. Keep it looking natural.
Include links in the description. For more clickable opportunities, place a link at the top, otherwise it will not be visible.
List relevant and accurate tags.
Combine keywords and special keywords.
Use about 12 tags per video. Try to total not exceed 120 characters.
Remember to write the keyword phrase in quotation two, for example: "Gee Jhon".
This is very important for your videos to be clicked by viewers. After the video title, the thumbnail is the second most important factor, which determines whether your video is clicked or not. Upload custom thumbnails, to get the best thumbnails.
Use a large enough image. Minimum 640px wide. Best is 1280x720px.
Create thumbnails that are focused and sharp.
Use images that capture the attention of viewers.
If it displays a face, select a close-up image, it's usually better.
Thumbnails must represent your videos accurately and precisely.
You can try entering the title / main keyword on the thumbnail.
An annotation is a floating text that you can add to your video. Add relavan and useful annotations to each of your videos once they're finished uploading.
Use annotations as a call to viewers to subscribe to a channel, to like, to share to social media or to leave a comment after they've finished watching their videos.
Also, use annotations to encourage viewers to dig deeper into the content of your other videos. You can even include links in annotations and use them to direct people to your website / blog.
Well, that's some tips that can be conveyed so that your video reaches the audience as much as possible. Do you have any other experience? Please share via comment.
In the next article, I will explore tips on how to make your Youtube videos viewable and pinned by viewers. I suggest to subscribe to PortalUang article, to get the tips from me.
Always success.

Described by Peter Alliss as "The best kept secret in Dorset", the course is one of the oldest in the country.
Constructed on downland, the fairways are undulating and although hole 3 does have a short sharp hill, all others are easy walking. Four holes are played within Ashley Woods, ancient woodland carpeted with bluebells in May. Being natural chalk downland, the course drains very quickly and remains playable in all but the most extreme weather. The course is rarely closed for long, and trolleys have only been banned for four days during the last ten years.
The par 70 course is 6270 yards long with some 'open' drives and some requiring more accuracy. It is a good test of golf for all levels of ability.

The refugee crisis in Europe is the direct result of the western states' policies on Syria, a prominent analyst said.
"The European countries are now paying the price of their policies which have destabilized Syria, and they are unable to handle this crisis now," Khansa al-Ibrahim told FNA on Saturday.
He underlined that the European countries' assistance to the terrorist groups in Syria is one of the most important causes that have forced the Syrians to leave their houses and escape from the terrorists who don't differentiate between the military men and the civilians.
Ibrahim predicted that the problems of those European countries that are selected by the Syrian refugees as their destination will force the Europeans to find a solution to the regional problems to prepare the ground for sending the refugees back to their homeland.
The world has been transfixed in recent weeks by the unfolding refugee crisis in Europe, an influx of migrants unprecedented since World War II. Their plight was chillingly highlighted on Wednesday in the image of a drowned Syrian toddler, his lifeless body lying alone on a Turkish beach.
Attention has now fallen on the failure of many Western governments to adequately address the burden on Syria's neighboring countries, which are struggling to host the brunt of the roughly 4 million Syrians forced out of the country by the terrorists.
Some European countries have been criticized for offering sanctuary only to a small number of refugees, or for discriminating between Muslims and Christians. There's also been a good deal of continental hand-wringing over the general dysfunction of Europe's systems for migration and asylum.

Cargill Inc. pulled out of the chase to acquire Nutreco NV, leaving the target's largest shareholder the last man standing with a bid valuing the Dutch animal-feed supplier at 2.99 billion euros ($3.7 billion).
An improved offer from investment company SHV Holdings NV equal to 44.50 euros a share was recommended by Nutreco last month after rejecting an initial 43.20 euros a share proposal from Cargill and private equity firm Permira Advisers LLP.
Takeovers and mergers in the animal nutrition sector are being driven by rising global demand for protein as farmers contend with limited resources of land and water. Deals worth $35 billion have been completed in agriculture in the past two years, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"We should expect further consolidation in the global agricultural sector," Belinda Moore, a Brisbane-based analyst at Morgans Ltd. said today by phone. "It's the story of growing demand for protein, particularly meat."
Nutreco spokesman Mark Woldberg didn't immediately respond to an e-mail and SMS message requesting comment sent outside normal office hours.
SHV Holdings is the largest holder of Nutreco, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Nutreco, with a market value of 3.27 billion euros, attracted takeover interest after the failed disposal in June of its compound-feed and meat business in Spain and Portugal. It closed yesterday at 46.50 euros.
Cargill, the largest closely held U.S. company, has proposed or completed acquisitions worth $1 billion in the past two years, including a $440 million deal for Archer-Daniels-Midland Co.'s chocolate unit, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"Cargill considered all relevant facts, including the attractiveness of acquiring Nutreco relative to alternative potential investments," the Minneapolis-based company said yesterday in a statement. "Cargill remains committed to building further its global animal nutrition platform through both organic investment and acquisitions."
The company said this month it was considering making a solo bid for Nutreco, the maker of Skretting fish feed.
SHV has obtained regulatory clearance from the European Commission and Turkish competition authorities in connection with its offer, it said Dec. 20. Nutreco said last month it had rejected Cargill's plan to pay at least 43.20 euros a share because the U.S. company planned to split up the feed producer with private-equity company Permira.
Closely held SHV, founded in 1896 by eight Dutch coal wholesalers, owns assets in oil exploration and transport as well as the Makro cash and carry wholesale chain. Revenue last year amounted to 17.6 billion euros, and the net cash position was 2.6 billion euros, according to its website.

These mixes are available if you wish to make your own e-liquid flavours, dilute a current flavour or nicotine strength.

If making 10ml non nicotine e-liquid (if making 20ml, 30ml or 50ml, then multiply the amount in ml by 2, 3, 5 respectively).
Follow this recipe: add in this order, 5.5ml of Propylene glycol (PG) + 1ml of concentrate + 3.5ml of Vegetable Glycerine (VG).
If making 30ml non nicotine e-liquid
Follow this recipe: Add in this order: 16.5ml of Propylene glycol (PG) + 3ml of concentrate + 10.5 ml of Vegetable Glycerine (VG)
Shake the bottle containing the mix until the products are well combined. Allow 10 minutes or more for the mix to steep long enough for a better flavour and throaty heat. For better taste and body leave your mixes in a cool place, isolated from direct sunlight.
NOTE: Be aware there will be a difference in the e-liquids you make yourself compared to the Soulblu e-liquids you buy premixed, mainly because:
* Soulblu uses proper machineary to mix the eliquids for the right period of time,
* Soulblu have calibrated measuring equipment to add the exact amount of each ingredient to keep the consistancy from batch to batch,
* Soulblu allows the e-liquids to warm up at the right temperature,
* Soulblu let the e-liquids steep for the appropriated time to let the e-liquids to reach the maximum best flavour, throaty hit and vapour production.

Keeping eliquids in the fridge or freezing them is recommended during summer.
Steeping: Some eliquid flavours might require steeping, to obtain the best flavour out of it.
1. Take your bottle of fresh e-Liquid and shake really well and then open it.
2. Then screw the cap back on and shake again. Place in a ""dark"" safe area.
