Great intro to Bayesian Statistics. The math gets complex but the professor illustrates with examples to help with understanding. The exercises are generally similar to the examples in the lectures and honestly not as hard as they could've been. The course is only 4 weeks and moves pretty fast. Although I scored well, I may take the course again to help make sure all the details and concepts fully sank in.
I'm hungry for a deeper dive into the topic. I hope there is a follow up course in the future.

Services in connection with immovable property
Revenue eBrief No. 142/18 contains a Tax and Duty Manual on the VAT treatment of services connected with immovable property (e.g. land and buildings). The manual contains useful guidance and examples in relation to the VAT treatment of various services including estate agency services, holiday and similar accommodation, construction and similar services, and legal services in connection with immovable property.
By way of background, services connected with immovable property are subject to VAT in the jurisdiction where the relevant property is located. This is a departure from the normal VAT "place of supply" rules which deem a service to be subject to VAT in either the supplier's or the customer's country of establishment depending on whether it is a supply to another business or to a consumer. However, in order for a service to fall within the specific rule for immovable property, the service must have a direct connection with a specific property as opposed to an indirect connection.
The criteria for a direct connection between the service and a specific property include that the service must be derived from immovable property and the property makes up a constituent element of the service and is central to, and essential for, the services supplied; or where the services are provided to, or directed towards, an immovable property, they have as their object the legal or physical alteration of that property. The manual provides a number of examples of services which would be considered to be directly connected with immovable property as well as examples of other services which would not. The manual also contains guidance on the Irish VAT rate that is applicable to various types of services in connection with the property as well as further information on which party is liable to account for the VAT.
VAT treatment of Cryptocurrencies
In eBrief No. 88/18, Revenue issued a Tax and Duty Manual addressing the taxation of cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin. This includes guidance in relation to the VAT treatment of transactions involving cryptocurrencies. The Court of Justice of the European Union ("CJEU") ruling in the Hedqvist case (C264-/14), had established that Bitcoin should be considered a currency for VAT purposes, and therefore trading in Bitcoin is VAT exempt. Supplies of goods or services which are paid for using cryptocurrency are subject to normal VAT rules, with any Irish VAT due being calculated based on the Euro value of the cryptocurrency at the relevant point in time when the VAT charge arises. The manual also states that income received from cryptocurrency mining activities will generally be outside the scope of VAT.
VAT recovery on share acquisition costs
The CJEU issued a judgment on the VAT recovery position of a holding company on costs relating to the acquisition of shares in Marle Participations SARL (C-320/17). This judgment is the latest in a line of case law on the complex question of a holding company's entitlement to VAT recovery on costs relating to acquiring shares of its subsidiaries. The case law up to this point has established that a holding company whose only activity is to acquire and hold shares is not engaged in economic activities (i.e. activities within the scope of VAT) and is not entitled to VAT recovery on its costs. However, a holding company is engaged in economic activities and is generally entitled to VAT recovery on its costs relating to its acquisition of subsidiaries where it becomes involved directly or indirectly in the management of its subsidiaries and charges its subsidiaries for those management services.
In this case, the holding company let out a building to its subsidiaries. The French referring court asked the CJEU whether the letting of the building by the holding company to its subsidiary can constitute the direct or indirect involvement in the management of that subsidiary such that the holding company has a right to VAT recovery on the costs of acquiring the shares in that subsidiary. The CJEU concluded that the letting of a property comes within the meaning of management of the subsidiary providing the letting is on a continuing basis and is for consideration. Therefore, where the holding company has elected to charge VAT on the rent of the property to its subsidiary, this should give the holding company a right to recover VAT on costs relating to the acquisition of shares in that subsidiary.
If, however, the holding company also acquires shares in other subsidiaries to which it does not grant VATable lettings and is not otherwise engaged in their management, there is no right to VAT recovery on costs relating to those acquisitions. Therefore, an apportionment of costs for VAT recovery purposes would be required in cases where both managed and unmanaged subsidiaries are acquired. The judgment does not specify the exact mechanism for carrying out this apportionment but states that it must objectively reflect how the input costs are attributed between the holding company's economic activity (i.e. the provision of management / letting of the property to certain subsidiaries) and the non-economic activity of passively holding shares in other subsidiaries.
The Irish Revenue Commissioners have not yet published guidance following this or other recent cases on this topic. It would be interesting to see the approach that is taken in light of the recent case law developments.
Import VAT
In Enteco Baltic (C-108/17), the CJEU had to determine the criteria under which a company could apply 0% VAT to the import of goods from outside the EU into an EU member state which were subsequently dispatched to other EU member states. While VAT is normally payable in on an import of goods into an EU member state, the 0% VAT rate applies, where the importer provides to the relevant tax authorities at the time of importation details of its customer's VAT number in the other member state to whom the goods will be sold as well as evidence that the goods are intended to be dispatched to that other member state.
Enteco Baltic had applied 0% VAT to its imports into Lithuania and had provided the Lithuanian customs authorities with the VAT number of its customers in other member states to whom the goods would be dispatched. However, while the goods were in fact dispatched from Lithuania, in some cases they were sold to different customers than those indicated to the custom authorities at the time of import. Enteco Baltic did provide their actual customers' VAT numbers to the Lithuanian Tax authorities at the time of onward sale but the customs authorities contested the application of the 0% rate on import, on the basis that the VAT numbers subsequently provided did not correspond to those provided at the time of import.
The CJEU ruled that the taxpayer could apply 0% VAT on imported goods in these circumstances as the taxpayer had satisfied the substantive conditions that the goods were dispatched to VAT registered customers in another EU member state (albeit not those originally identified at the time of import). However, the Court made clear that the formal conditions (e.g. recording the customer's VAT numbers) cannot be completely disregarded and that it is only where a taxpayer has made every effort at the time of the import to fulfil the requirements that the 0% rate can apply.
If you would like to discuss this further, please contact David Duffy or any member of the KPMG's VAT team.

The idea of dosing someone with a love potion raises awkward questions, given the modern situations involving date-rape drugs and their helpless victims. Is the wrong mitigated when you use it on someone you know is attracted to you but refuses to act on it? Is it somehow funny when the victim is a man rather than a woman?
These questions kept nagging at me and wouldn't go away in spite of the insouciant vivacity of the main female character, Lily Revere, Anica's flighty younger sister. I wondered why she simply didn't go up to Griffin Taylor and proposition him and then ask why he wouldn't date her in spite of his obvious interest. Griffin might have come clean about his reluctance to be with a woman who was clearly his polar opposite in nature and Lily might have tried harder to win him or simply cut her losses and tried for someone else.
The motivations behind Lily's magical manipulation are varied and sexual attraction is actually the least of them. Insecurity about not having a boyfriend, much less a husband, and the wish not to show up alone at her sister's engagement party and wedding are significant factors in her decision and make her seem a touch horrid. It certain makes it difficult to justify her decision in spite of the torrid sex that occurs whenever she and Griffin get together.
Thankfully, her conscience kicks in, right about the time that Griffin's buddies get suspicious about his altered behavior and stage an intervention. It redeems the book's initial premise but only just.
Once again, Dorcas and Ambrose make an appearance, although their actions are mostly passive in this case. It would seem that Ms. Thompson may be phasing out this lovely magical couple and allowing her characters to stand more or less on their own two feet.
The message that opposites do attract and may provide benefits for each other is an old one but it provides the necessary tonic for this book. All's well that ends well...maybe.

From Public Safety to Parks and Recreation, city governments have a lot to manage with minimal resources. Unfortunately for the already-busy officials, cyber security needs to be a top priority as well, a fact made evident by the recent 9 day attack on Atlanta, Georgia.
People in all walks of life rely on digital recordkeeping, and the government is no exception. Cutting off this flow of information is like severing a main artery. Catastrophic! A lot is at stake.
This past week, ransomware used to encrypt and lock files in Atlanta city offices crippled the city's ability to access their critical records – sending government staff members back in time as they had to resort to pen and paper. No longer business-as-usual, some staff members lost as much as 16 years worth of data; keeping them from serving the public.
Humans are another hurdle
Let's face it. We can't stop cybercrime by outsmarting the bad guys with 'next-generation' firewalls or other traditional security technologies. Why? Most security products require a small army of skilled IT pros. Case in point. Firewalls typically require between 100 and 1,000 entries for configuration, and each entry is an opportunity to introduce an error. As more and more devices come online and the demand for security increases by one or two orders of magnitude, there is simply not enough people to do the job, and existing practices will fail to keep up.
Albert Einstein famously said, "We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them." If the root cause of Internet insecurity is the reliance on a trust-based model that is inherently insecure and can't be properly managed, how do we fix it? Ideally, we'd design a new, secure Internet that isn't based on TCP/IP, but it's too late for that. The TCP/IP ship has sailed, and we're all onboard. But make no mistake: we absolutely need a fundamental change in our approach to security.
Redefining trust with the Host Identity Protocol (HIP)
We can fix the problems associated with IP communications by shifting the model from IP address routing to a simple system based on trust between cryptographic identities. Enter HIP (Host Identity Protocol), an open IETF standard for encrypted communications. At Tempered Networks, we're building the foundational elements of a secure private Internet and are doing this by inserting a cryptographic identity into the communications stack: the Host Identity. This on its own only gets us so far. Orchestrating trust, at scale, between these identities is where it gets interesting. We must do this today to ensure business critical infrastructure, data, systems, and other high value assets are safe.
The smart approach is to be secure by default, rather than relying on bolted-on components to become secure. We'll show you how simple it is to not only get started, but also create a sustainable and scalable way to stay on the right track with micro-segmentation that works.

Plains Township is a township in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, United States (on the outskirts of Wilkes-Barre). The population was 9,961 at the 2010 census.[4] The municipality is the birthplace of Chicago White Sox hall of famer Ed Walsh and John J. Yeosock, a United States Army general who commanded the 3rd U.S. Army during Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm. Mohegan Sun Pocono is a casino in Plains Township (located along PA 315).
Modern-day Plains Township was originally owned and occupied by the Wanami tribe of the Delaware Native Americans. Jacob was the tribe's leader; he lived on level ground adjacent to the Susquehanna River (near the modern-day City of Wilkes-Barre). Early white settlers named the locality "Jacob's Plains." As time progressed, the settlers simply referred to it as "Plains."[5]
Roughly two hundred settlers from the Susquehanna Company of Connecticut arrived in Plains in August 1762; they established a small village of cabins just above the mouth of Mill Creek. They returned to New England in November after planting a few acres of wheat. The Susquehanna Company returned with their families, livestock, and provisions in the spring of 1763.[5]
Massacre of 1763
During the summer of 1763, the Iroquois and Delaware came together in an attempt to form a relationship. This resulted in a deadly fire which claimed the life of the Delaware chieftain (Teedyuscung). The Iroquois charged the colonists with the crime, and the aggrieved Delaware were determined to resolve the matter. On October 15, 1763, the unsuspecting pioneers were attacked by the Delaware. Twenty or thirty were killed, several were taken prisoner, and those who were not captured fled to the mountains; they had no other choice but to return to New England. The Native Americans finally burned what was left of the English settlement.[6][5]
Pennamite-Yankee Wars
In January 1769, a group of Pennamites (who represented Pennsylvania) took possession of the land once occupied by the Susquehanna Land Company of Connecticut. They were known as the Ogden party; they established a fort in the region. The Connecticut settlers, who learned of the Pennamite occupation of the area, returned in the spring of 1769. This resulted in the Pennamite-Yankee Wars — a struggle between the Pennamites and the Yankees (from Connecticut). After a series of minor skirmishes, the conflict ended with the land being granted to Pennsylvania.[5]
Township status
Large amounts of anthracite coal rested underneath Plains. In 1808, Henry Stark of Plains succeeded in burning anthracite coal in a grate. This was the second successful attempt in the region (after Judge Jesse Fell). This resulted in the widespread use of anthracite coal as a fuel source. Throughout the 1800s, canals and railroads were constructed to aid in the mining and transportation of coal. The mining industry in Luzerne County boomed. Farming was a major way of life in Plains prior to the mining industry. Farmland was replaced by great collieries, breakers, canals, and railroads.[5]
As a result of the growing population in Plains, it was officially made a township on November 10, 1851. Plains Township was formed from sections of Wilkes-Barre Township and Pittston Township.[5]
At the beginning of the 20th century, Luzerne County was in the midst of an economic boom. Industry, which included manufacturing and coal mining, drew thousands of immigrants (mostly from Europe) to the region. By the mid-20th century, anthracite production was declining at a fairly steady rate. Consumers were gradually switching from coal to other forms of energy (e.g., oil, gas, and electricity). The Knox Mine Disaster was the final blow to the industry. On January 22, 1959, the Susquehanna River broke through the River Slope Mine in Port Griffith, Jenkins Township (just north of Plains Township). The incident claimed twelve lives. In the following months, two of the area's largest coal companies announced a full withdrawal from the anthracite business. Thousands of jobs were lost and the mining industry never recovered in Luzerne County.
In the early 21st century, Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs (along PA 315) became one of Pennsylvania's first casinos. The casino features over 2,300 slots, and live tables for blackjack, roulette, and poker. The casino opened in November 2006. In November 2013, Mohegan Sun opened a hotel (which is connected to the casino floor).
According to the United States Census Bureau, the township has a total area of 13.2 square miles (34.1 km2), of which 12.9 square miles (33.4 km2) is land and 0.27 square miles (0.7 km2), or 1.95%, is water. It extends from the Susquehanna River in the northwest to the north slope of Wyoming Mountain in the southeast.
Its villages include Hilldale, Hudson, Llewellyn Corners (also in Bear Creek Township), Midvale, Plains, Plainsville, Port Bowkley, and Westminster.
Plains Township's numbered routes include I-81, PA 115, PA 309, and PA 315. I-476 crosses the eastern portion of Plains Township. Main Street and River Street cross the populous northwestern portion of the township between Wilkes-Barre and Jenkins Township. The southern and eastern sections of the municipality are scarcely populated. This region of the township is mostly made up of forested mountains.
Tourist attractions
- There are stores, restaurants, hotels (e.g., The Woodlands Inn and Resort), a racetrack, and a casino along PA 315.
- Seven Tubs Recreation Area is located off of PA 115 (in southern Plains Township).

|Est. 2016
|U.S. Decennial Census[7]
As of the census[8] of 2000, there were 10,906 people, 4,556 households, and 2,870 families residing in the township. The population density was 822.1 people per square mile (317.3/km2). There were 5,007 housing units at an average density of 377.4/sq mi (145.7/km2). The racial makeup of the township was 98.33% White, 0.48% African American, 0.03% Native American, 0.80% Asian, 0.09% from other races, and 0.28% from two or more races.

You have this vibe that something is just off. You don't know what it is, but something tells you that your man is secretly with another woman. He is spending more and more time at work. He starts taking phone calls in other rooms… and then the suspicion smacks you in the face:
ALSO READ: Tips on shopping before items sellout
"Is he cheating on me?"
The question hits your chest like a lead weight. You love him and you really thought he loved you! Why would he suddenly start cheating on you? Is he really seeing someone else?
Maybe there are clues or maybe it's just a nagging, gut instinct. You might try not to think about it because every time it crosses your mind, it makes you feel sick. Well, here are 6 signs that will help you know if he is really cheating on you:
1. He Is Using His Phone A Lot More (And Not For You)
If he suddenly starts texting more often, but he still takes forever to reply to you… that may be a sign that he's cheating.
2. He Suddenly Cares About His Hygiene
You've known him long enough to know how he typically cares for himself. If he takes a sudden interest in how he looks, his physical health, and even starts showering more, who is he trying to impress?
ALSO READ: Getting back to sex after pregnancy
3. He Goes Out More
Whether he's going out "with friends" or has something come up with family, this could be a red flag that he's really seeing someone else.
4. He Keeps Working Late
Sudden work emergency? Big project that he didn't tell you about in advance? If he starts working overtime and is hours on sporadic days of the week working late, he might not actually be working…
5. He Avoids Getting Close To You
If you notice that your guy suddenly avoids intimacy with you (or stops entirely), that's a huge red flag. Some men who fear intimacy will cheat to feel like they still have power over their sex life, and some men cheat simply because they want someone "young and new".
6. He Follows A *Lot* Of Sexy Women On Social Media
ALSO READ: Marrying a stranger: How a Nollywood actress married a man at first sight
Have you noticed him "liking" a lot of sexy pictures on his Facebook? What about who he watches on Instagram? If they're mostly hot young women, you can probably guess what's on his mind…

More About Our Event Ideas
Everyone likes to take care of the inner man or woman and it makes perfect sense to develop some event ideas that focus on food and drink. For example, help your team to savour the moment by participating in a food and wine-related sensory challenge. They'll be asked to identify a particular species of grape while enjoying other creations put forward by a celebrity chef.
Alternatively, they can go back to the basics and explore an authentic farm while they learn how specific foods find their way to the table. They will be able to gather some of these organic products before transferring inside to the kitchen and preparing a plateful for their fellow team members.
If you prefer to stay downtown, then take your group members on a hidden tour of some amazing Melbourne locations. Treat them to lunch as they relax in these unusual and off the wall function spaces, with plenty of room for camaraderie and team building.
You may not always have a lot of money to spend on team building activities even though you know it's important, but the good news is that you can engage some spectacular group events without breaking the bank. For example, take to the sports field and dress your team up in "bubbles." They can then take part in a crazy and chaotic football game where they will all need to work together as never before.
If this isn't energetic enough for your team, what about a dragon boating regatta challenge, where they take to the water for some serious competition? This is the ultimate in team cohesion, and if they don't pull together as a team, they won't move the boat. Don't worry, there are professionals on hand to instruct and to make sure everything is safe.
Why not take a trip over to the dark side and lock your team up in prison? This is tongue in cheek, of course, and takes place in an authentic reproduction of a prison, located in a downtown Melbourne hotel. They need to learn to bribe the guards and pull a few "fast ones" if they are to escape, and they must collaborate with their team members to learn how.
If you want to be indulgent and go to town with your team, perhaps as an end-of-year "thank you" event, why not ship them out to the Otway Ranges for the ultimate experience? Once they jump off their luxury coach, the first experience will be high above the temperate rainforest aboard a zip line experience. After they have communed with nature, they will be treated to a five-course degustation lunch which has been lovingly crafted by an expert chef, and then they will have the rest of the day to enjoy.
Alternatively, spend some time on the water aboard a superyacht as you cruise along the bay and marvel at the sights and sounds. This type of trip can be tailored according to your needs with entertainment onboard and a specific food or beverage package. Once again, this is your chance to pamper your team and thank them for all their efforts.
We have a large variety of events designed to pull you and your team away from your familiar environments, and we can craft a specific experience.
You can pretend that you're all part of the Great Race and spread out over Melbourne to look for clues as you chase for the finishing line. It's not simply a race, however, but a way of working together as a team, making the right choices and being strategic.
Alternatively, you could choose to get closer to nature and climb up the trees in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges. In the company of experienced instructors, your team can surf the trees while solving some challenges. In order to overcome those natural fears, they're able to call on the encouragement and support of their colleagues. As with many of these events, your team can be split into individual groups to see who comes out on top.
It doesn't matter whether your group is extensive or diminutive. We can come up with a solution that will work perfectly for the number and fit within your overall budget. These can be in-house events or spread over a whole day, but the important thing is that everyone gets engaged.
As an example, why not allow your team to create their own cocktails using a variety of their favourite ingredients? The taste may not hit the spot when it's time for the others to sample, but it's the thought that counts, after all!
While every activity can be classed as a challenge, some are more demanding than others and if you're looking to inspire and reward your team with some great ideas, we have plenty to choose from here as well.
For something really unusual why not let your team become part of the circus and learn some of those amazing and magical tricks? We can team them up with authentic circus performers and let them explore their originality to find out who is the most creative of your bunch.
As you can see, there truly is something for everyone and it all begins with a call. Get in touch with us as soon as you can so that we can create some majestic team building days for your company.

Advice for a Newbie - Xbox 360?
Doz posted a topic in Sacred 2 General DiscussionHey, I'm hopefully getting Sacred 2 : Fallen Angel for the Xbox360 tomorrow depending on delivery times lol they've said 2-3days and tomorrow is the 4th day but nevermind but anyway I was wondering what kind of tips or guides can you tell me and help me to decide what character to start off with and what things I should keep an eye out for etc etc. I've personally favoured all Warrior type classes in the majority of games, for the simple fact; There armor looks amazing 9/10 of the time They can use all weapons and I love Dual-Weilding beastly axes or swords, and specially swinging a big 2handed axe/sword But the Inquisitor looks fun and intresting but I havent the slightest idea about them, are they a battle mage? or warlock kinda peoples I have no idea :/ I've played the first Sacred quite alot, I made a Vampiress and then a Gladiator ( I think thats the name) Vampiress was completely new to me and very confusing ;P the Gladiator was smoothe-sailing for me, id appreciate any help u can give me, even if non of those are recommended for starter's or what ever it may be any help or reply's would be great And when I said "guides / tips" I ment something along the lines of ; "Collect these there good to sell to a vendor" "Dont forget to save ------ for when you get set items" "Stick to this build for a starter character (less complicated)" Etc etc if some of those dont make sence for Sacred 2 I apologize but thanks for reading - Doz

The Splendid Century: Life in the France of Louis XIV
The Splendid Century: Life in the France of Louis XIV
This book does not pretend to offer a comprehensive survey of the Grand Siècle, and, if long-winded titles were still the fashion, it might with more accuracy have been called "Some aspects of French life in the days of Louis XIV."
I have been forced to make it selective rather than comprehensive for two reasons: firstly, had I written on every aspect of the period which interests me, I should have swollen the book to unmanageable proportions: and secondly, because there are many achievements of the age with which I am not competent to deal. In the first category of omissions are chapters on the French Navy, on the Parlements and their struggles with the Crown, and on the Diplomatic and Civil Services; there should, I know, have been something on Hugues de Lyonne and his successors, those unscrupulously brilliant diplomatists who had so much to do with making Louis XIV the Grand Monarque, and on Colbert, Louis' greatest civil servant, who worked with such unavailing energy to give France the planned economy of a modern totalitarian state.
Within the second category fall Descartes and his world, Poussin, Claude and the artists in general, Le Nôtre, the "Capability Brown" of his day, father of formal landscape gardening, Mansart, the creator of Versailles (and little though he dreamt of it, of the Euston Hotel).
For the omissions in the first category, I apologize, whilst as regards those in the second, I feel that it would be the height of impudence on my part to suppose that what I would have found tedious to write, anyone else would have found interesting to read.
Lastly, a word on the baffling problem of money. The value . . .

Moon was a huge priority as well. Boyyyy...Was my farrier mad at me when he saw Moon's feet.
In case you aren't a facebook friend...We didn't have much luck in Arizona at the rodeos. Moon was having a terrible time handling all of the different ground conditions. That is so unlike my horse. If nothing else, Moon is pretty incredible at staying on his feet. Except for Yuma!!
Now, I know for a fact that Moon hit hardpan in Yuma and that had a lot to do with him almost going down. But after that, we just had hell getting it back together. If he wasn't digging and churning in the turns, he was scrambling. Now...If I had been running in familiar arenas, I would have known immediately that something was going on with his feet...but being at all new to us arenas and changing back and forth between sand and dirt ground...
It was right at the end that I started to suspect his shoes...and for the life of me...I do not know why I didn't just go ahead and pull them. But I didn't and I feel pretty bad about that.
The problem was, his break-over was too long in the front and too short in the back. The shoes weren't properly centered either, so it changed his wear pattern to the outside of the toe and forced his foot inward. It caused his feet to grow unlevel. He was 1/4 of an inch to 1/2 an inch longer on the inside than on the outside (all the way around) by the time I got home and got my farrier under him.
This is the trimming off of his left front and I am holding the inside of the hoof wall in my hand. Just a little un-level...Yikes!!... :-/...
Now for an ordinary horse, he wasn't off too much...for a horse that has to do what Moon does...over and over...It was hell. The too long of break-over in the front was causing his front feet to get stuck in the turns and the too short of break-over in the back meant he was once again stabbing his toes and jamming his stifles. Since it's not uncommon for Moon to get sore in his stifles, at first I just assumed that I needed to put him back on Adequan and maybe Legend as well. At Moon's age, I'm perfectly okay with keeping him on these injections if it helps keep him comfortable and running happily.
Luckily it was just a less than adequate (for Moon) shoeing job. My farrier got the majority of the problem cut out in one trim and said that all it will take to get Moon's feet centered again is one more reset. It took a few days for the soreness in his stifles and over his hips to completely dissipate, so I didn't enter the New Mexico rodeo. Instead, I opted to put a local run on him to give him the chance to feel that he was back to normal. It went well. We placed 2nd, right behind a girl whose horses always set the bar. I was pretty happy because I wasn't pushing Moon, just letting him run and focusing on positioning him. It was the first run in quite awhile that it hasn't felt like he was trying to set up on me right before the barrels. Whew!!!
If nothing else, one bit of good that came out of the whole experience was the fact that I had to resort to putting a tie-down on Moon and Ooohhh...Myyyyy...Goddddd...What a huge improvement that has made!!!!
One of the first rodeos I went to was in Buckeye and Moon stuck a front leg in the dirt behind the 3rd barrel, flipped his hindquarters out and drove my leg into the 3rd barrel. I thought it was broke. It wasn't, but it was bad enough that Megan had to get the paramedics to come check me out. It's been 2 months since that happened and it's far from healed. :-(
Well, being entered up in 2 rodeos the following weekend, I either had to medical out or figure out a way to get Moon around his 2nd and 3rd barrel without being able to use my leg. So I put a tie-down on him so I didn't have to struggle to get his head set. Well crap...a couple runs into it, I realized how much easier it was to ride Moon during a competitive run. All of that work I usually had to do to get Moon into position to take his 2nd barrel...Gone!! The run-away freight-train feeling I got right before he got to the 2nd barrel...Gone!! *I* could actually focus on getting MY body right and my hands right and then just let Moon do his job. Of course, then toward the end he was setting up on 3rd barrel because it hurt...but now that his feet are fixed that problem is Gone!!!
Honestly, I am like Holy Crap!...All this time I have struggled and worked to figure out what *I* was doing wrong...Because Ed Wright told me Moon did not need a tie-down, that I just 'terrible hands and rode like crap'. Well...Yeaaaa...It's kind of hard to develop good hands when you are constantly struggling with trying to get your horse into position and then having him throwing himself around the turns. All that funky stuff that Moon did that resulted in me riding around the 2nd barrel like this...
It's all gone. FINALLY, Moon has something to balance himself on besides my hands and I can tell how much more comfortable he is getting prepared for his turns. All I have to do is remember to drive him into his turns and lift. Geezzz....This might actually be the start to some consistency for us. Instead of feeling a growing panic as we are running from the 1st barrel to the 2nd barrel...wondering if Moon is going to hold his position or dive on the barrel...Now I KNOW that when I lift my hands and ask him to shape that he cannot brace against my hands and dive into the turn. The confidence that he will respond when I lift my hand has almost entirely done away with my almost uncontrollable urge to sit down and haul on his face.
In Moon's case, it shouldn't be called a tie-down...because I am not tying his head down...he actually runs really level, until I go to pick up on him. THAT is when his head pops up (which it needs to do) and his nose thrusts out (which is where I lose him). The tie-down actually works to keep his nose from pushing out...When the nose goes out...the hocks fall out behind and that is when Moon is able to drop that shoulder and dive into the turn. Having the tie-down on also seems to be giving Moon confidence as well. He has become steadier and stronger in his 2nd turn. He still wants to cut the barrel a little close, but we are working on that and he is figuring out he cannot drop out from under me anymore and is starting to respect my inside hand a little more and moving over when I ask him to move over.
I dunno...It's one of those things...I always used to run all of my horses with tie-downs...because that is just what everyone did. Then things changed and all of the sudden it became the thing to be able to run without one. Not every horse can, nor every rider. Then you get to listening to all of the non-competitive, Natural Horsemanship people and having to use a tie-down or any other training device is considered a gimmick. So you kind of start thinking you are doing something wrong if you need one.
In reality...all it is is a tool. If it helps your horse or helps you as a rider...Use it and to hell with what other people think or say. After all, they aren't the one's paying your entry fees now are they? LOL

Fads can make ya crazy! Use what works. Tada...I've seen horses that hate a tie down, and horses that think they're a security blanket. Especially the horses that tend to fall out of shape. The tie down stops the fight because it is just there, the horse can't blame it on you that he has to maintain a position that is difficult for him.
Yowza on Dollar Bill's feet, your farrier is a miracle worker.

A good farrier makes all the difference in the world! Hope you find somebody down in AZ that'll work for you, too :)
Glad to hear you're getting Moon squared away, and ditto on kestrel's comment re. Dollar Bill's feet. Holy crap!

Sometimes trying to reinvent the wheel is just silly. I don't listen to those Parelli folks-ever. I'm glad you have figured out what works for you and Moon, because honestly, as far as understanding body mechanics of your horse athlete- you are tip top~
As for Farriers~ I love mine, but he flakes out 90% of the time wasting my days... but farriers that do a really good job are impossible to find out here. So I just deal with him.
I'm excited to watch how well you do this year!

What works for one horse, doesn't always work for other horses. What works for other horses, may not work on this one.
It's funny when the light comes on, you go back to what worked before and suddenly it all comes together... in spite of what all of the top notch, folks we often respect.
I had that happen with my pony. Sure he was getting his tongue over the bit, but moving him up to the butterfly is not always working either. He has his days, just like we all do.
Glad you got it all sorted out and will be able to, um, I dunno, actually enjoy the rides from now on? lol
The shoeing is a huge difference for some horses. The higher the level of performance- the more accurate it has to be.

I too have experienced "gimick-guilt", when you feel just so stupid and guilty for using something like a tie-down because EVERYONE and their mom has an opinion about how you shouldn't, and it's only going to make your horse work... but then all of a sudden you use it and your horse just seems to work better.
I figure, if it works for you - go with it. You know your horse, you know how you ride, if it helps - you know that too.

Glad you are getting sorted out. and tie down used like you are is what they are meant for not a gimmick, but like you said a tool

'Gimmick-guilt'...I like that. LOL.
I think sometimes we get so wrapped up in learning and understanding that we forget that at some point we just have to get the job done. :-)
The greatest boon has been that I can finally get off of Moon's mouth. I much prefer to ride with my body and all of this time I have felt like I was riding his head/mouth. Oh, I still have to make my hands do what they are supposed to, but it is coming more natural now.

TrueCaller desired To gather tales of the customers in a creative way. The most important goal was to understand how each user has benefitted or never benefitted with TrueCaller.

Wishpond: Competitive Analysis
No inspection is Complete without analyzing it against other strong competitors. In this case, I believe Rafflecopter, Strutta, and Shortstack possess the capability to provide Wishpond a tough competition. But here I shall just tell you why I will vote for Wishpond out of these four apps:
Wishpond vs. Strutta
Strutta does not Provide any free support, and their strategies are quite pricey. The bundle of 249 $399 and $999 called Turnkey, Designer and Professional respectively. The number of sharing apps is limited to Facebook, Instagram, microsite, site, iframe, along with few other channels.
Struta Does not have the site popups feature. The variety of templates can also be less. No advertising automation or lead data analyzer, unlike Wishpond. Strutta lacks program integration that's disappointing. There's a lack of lead data analysis which can be used for turning leads into loyal customers. I believe with Strutta, I needed to invest more time. To the contrary, Wishpond did help me save a great deal of time.
Wishpond vs. Rafflecopter
Rafflecopter and Wishpond have many similar attributes. However, I think Wishpond defeats Rafflecopter using its integrations. Though Rafflecopter provides Pinterest entry alternative and Facebook entry alternative, I'd vouch for the numerous marketing apps from Wishpond. Wishpond offers marketing automation, which is also missing in Rafflecopter.
Rafflecopter, on The other hand, has a FREE plan that might entice users. But I am convinced those who are reluctant to compromise with their marketing needs, will go ahead and'buy' a plan that suits their needs.
Wishpond vs Aritic PinPoint
Aritic PinPoint is a full Stack advertising automation tool with advanced automation features. Designed for SMBs largely, Aritic PinPoint shares all the features within Wishpond. However, Aritic PinPoint displays a much richer attribute record. For example, Wishpond provides global stats for all of the campaigns while Aritic PinPoint shows you region-wise or country-wise reports. The marketing automation suite from Wishpond is also quite basic. Together with Aritic PinPoint, marketing automation forms the core. You receive deep e mail segmentation based on direct behaviour, events, stage in which the lead/customer is presently in with respect to the buyers' journey, and demographics such as age, sex, joining date, etc.. Email campaigns are advanced because of this comprehensive segmentation.
Also, Aritic PinPoint works on a multichannel strategy towards marketing. It's possible to connect and nurture your leads via emails, SMS campaigns, drive notifications, landing pages, mobile notifications, and social networking integrations. Wishpond has only SMS, landing pages, and emails. This brings us to the pricing section. Since Aritic PinPoint is quite a bit more sophisticated than Wishpond and contains a great deal of features, it's costlier. For an enterprise, Aritic PinPoint provides account-based advertising that's absent in Wishpond.
Update: Wishpond has updated their site with GDPR related information And now has all of the detail available here to assist their European clients and European acquaintances.
Wishpond vs. Shortstack
I Was obviously lured towards Shortstack by simply looking at the price! Their services start from zero and move on to $29 for the basic plan. The Enterprise program at $499 gives you access to all of the attributes. Shortstack provides just over 30 pre-design themes unlike the countless choices from Wishpond. Another serious lapse is the deficiency of real-time testing for customized layouts. Another point of difference is, with Shortstack the amount of users or group members can also be strictly restricted to one. In cases where multiple users are desired, a price of about $29 per each month is viable; unlike Wishpond which can provide multiple users with restricted access to data.
Final Verdict
This brings us The end of the inspection of Wishpond. This tool Is Ideal for a marketer, and that I Must say it is a very easy to use the tool. Now That You're aware of each of the Attributes, pricing and perks strategies, you must begin using the application. You can Always start with the 14-day trial period for the plan that is appropriate for you. Let me Understand your views about the tool, and if you happen across another better Option to Wishpond.

Taiwan's Foxconn ecco windsor shoes sale , the world's largest contract electronics manufacturer, saw quarterly profit slide 39 percent - a result far below estimates and widely attributed to production issues for Apple Inc's iPhone X.
م€€م€€FILE PHOTO: Foxconn's computer motherboards are seen during the annual Computex computer exhibition in Taipei
While shoppers have flooded into stores this month to buy Apple's 10th anniversary version of its premium smartphone, the product has faced a string of production hurdles centred on new technologies and features.
Questions remain as to whether Apple can meet demand for the iPhone X during the crucial holiday quarter, with most analysts saying it will likely take it until next year or early spring to do so.
Foxconn, formally known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co, said third-quarter net profit tumbled to T$21 billion (530.40 million pounds), some 42 percent below an average estimate of seven analysts polled by Thomson Reuters IBES. Revenue for the quarter was flat.
Shares in Foxconn fell 2.4 percent in early Wednesday trade ecco turn gtx shoes sale , underperforming the broader Taiwan market which was down 0.5 percent.
Apple, however, reported better-than-expected earnings earlier this month and offered a rosy forecast for the holiday shopping season.
"I think in the fourth quarter we expect to see a recovery (for Foxconn) because utilisation will get better given the iPhone ramp-up," said Daiwa analyst Kylie Huang.
"So NovemberDecember should be better but still will be impacted overall in the fourth quarter."
Apple said it sold 46.7 million iPhones in the quarter ended Sept. 30, above analysts' estimates of 46.4 million, according to financial data and analytics firm FactSet.
Kim Kardashian West is opening up about expecting her third child via surrogate.
ET recently spoke with the 37-year-old reality superstar about her newest fragrance, KKW Crystal Gardenia ecco seattle shoes sale , where she also opened up about growing her family with husband Kanye West. Kim, who had notoriously difficult pregnancies with both 4-year-old daughter North and 1-year-old son Saint, acknowledges that her experience so far with a surrogate has been a big adjustment.
"You know, it is really different," Kim tells ET's Keltie Knight. "Anyone that says or thinks it is just the easy way out is just completely wrong. I think it is so much harder to go through it this way, because you are not really in control. And, you know ecco new jersey shoes sale , obviously you pick someone that you completely trust and that you have a good bond and relationship with, but it is still ... knowing that I was able to carry my first two babies and not, you know, my baby now, it's hard for me. So, it's definitely a harder experience than I anticipated just in the control area."
Kim acknowledges that she didn't anticipate the hardships she's experienced so far.
"I hated being pregnant and I never thought I'd ever ... I thought this was going to be so easy, but you know ecco london shoes sale , even in how much I hated it, if I could do it myself I would have preferred that," Kim admits. "So, that inner struggle is kind of hard, but I am just rolling with it and it is what it is."
Of course, Kim is grateful that she is able to welcome another child.
"I think it is definitely a different experience and I am blessed that I am able to do this, and technology is the way that it is that we can do this ecco kenton shoes sale ," she shares. "But it is still a process that you need to digest. Even the fact that it is happening -- and you do forget sometimes -- because I think when you are pregnant, by the time you have the baby, you are so prepared and so ready, and now I am just like, 'Oh my God I am going to freak out because I'm not ready and I'm not prepared,' but it'll just all come into place."
As for how her kids are taking the news of getting another sibling, she says North couldn't be more ecstatic.
"They are excited ecco leeds shoes sale ," Kim says. "I mean, I don't know if they don't feel it as much because they don't see my big belly and probably hear me complaining every two seconds. But, we do talk about it a lot, so I think they are really excited. I think my son, I don't know how he is going to react because he doesn't get it yet, but my daughter is really excited."
Kim clearly has plenty going on in both her personal life and her career. Aside from her new fragrance's release on Wednesday, Kim also recently shot the cover of WWD ecco johannesburg shoes sale , and also launched the app ScreenShop, which allows fans to screenshot looks they like and shop for similar styles online. Kim is obviously passionate about her business, as well as constantly putting out the most innovative products.
"My team's kind of like, you know, I think you should just take some time off and just focus on beauty, and I had this app that I've been working on, a fashion work for over a year ecco jamestown shoes sale ," she says about her latest venture. "And I just know when I see something and when I like it, and when I want to be involved and help reinvent it and figure it out. So, I think I put pressure on myself ... I love that that energy in my life. I like always being busy. When I'm not busy, that's when I start to get uncomfortable."
Kim recently held an epic tea-party themed baby shower for baby number three, complete with a cherry blossom forest. (Agencies)

UNITED NATIONS, Feb. 6 (Xinhua) -- "I thought the story was very powerful. It was about family, love ecco jared shoes sale , adventure, friendship, and inheritance," Maria Kucinski said after watching a traditional Chinese dance drama "Dream of the Maritime Silk Road."
