NEW DELHI — Commuters stampeded on a narrow, crowded railway station overpass in India's financial capital, Mumbai, during the morning rush hour on Friday, leaving at least 22 suffocated or crushed to death and 36 injured.
The disaster was a stunning reminder of the poor safety conditions on India's railways and the frequency of crowd-related accidents, even in rapidly modernizing metropolises like Mumbai.
Local news reports showed people crying for help, some jumping from the overpass and others hanging desperately from the footbridge's railing.
Every day, about seven-and-a-half million commuters use the sprawling train network in Mumbai and its suburbs. Nearly 3,000 people die on the network every year, with accidents killing more than 2,100 so far in 2017.
The stampede took place at the bustling Prabhadevi station, formerly called Elphinstone Road, where two lines meet.
Shruti Lokre, who was caught in the crush but survived, told the news channel NDTV that heavy rain had slowed people down even as a crowd of commuters built up behind them.
"There was not enough space even to breathe," Ms. Lokre said. "The bridge shakes every time when there is a crowd. I saw many bodies lying around when I got out."
Commuters have often complained of congestion on the overpass. "We asked for an extra bridge for a long time, but the authorities will not listen," one commuter told a television crew.
Officials have not yet given a cause for the tragedy, but India's railway minister, Piyush Goyal, announced a review of the safety and capacity of all such spots in Mumbai's suburban rail network, saying it would be a top priority to widen and repair overpasses where needed.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the accident on Twitter, writing: "My deepest condolences to all those who have lost their lives due to the stampede in Mumbai. Prayers with those who are injured."
The authorities said that the families of each victim would receive one million rupees, or about $15,200, as compensation.
Fatal stampedes are not uncommon in India, although most are associated with religious festivals or other spiritual gatherings. One of the worst in recent years was near the Ratangarh Hindu temple in the city of Datia in northern central India on Oct. 13, 2013, which left 89 people dead.
India's railways, which transport about 23 million people a day over more than 70,000 miles of track, have been neglected for years, and safety standards are unevenly enforced. Overcrowding and fractures in tracks are often cited as contributing causes of accidents.
According to the Economic Times of India, derailments accounted for more than half of the nearly 600 railway accidents in the past five years.
One of the worst was a derailment of the Indore-Patna Express near Kanpur, in northern India, on Nov. 20, 2016, which left 150 people dead.

There are many kinds of LED displays. In order to meet different assembly conditions in daily use, there are curtain screen and grating screen.
1. LED curtain screen and LED grating screen are mainly used for indoor and outdoor ultra-large real-time display projects, and curtain screen is mostly used for large stage rental;
2. In order to ensure the sufficient brightness of outdoor engineering pixels, the front of the module is sealed with silicone for waterproof treatment. The color of silicone can be matched according to the engineering requirements according to the color card.
3. The outgoing line of the module is an excellent silica gel wire with high and low temperature, with professional waterproof connector. The fully sealed waterproof structure carefully designed by the professional has a protection level up to 1P67, which can adapt to various indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity environments.
4, a number of mold level can form a full color display wall;
5, can replace the use of digital tube as a linear light source, from the connection point light source lighting effect is more different;
6. It can be arbitrarily combined with various shapes for convenient installation without affecting the appearance and structure of original objects;
7. LED curtain display screen and LED grating display screen can be used for outdoor and indoor, requiring light transmittance, large pixel spacing and certain decorative effect. It is a kind of LED display application product between ordinary display screen and lighting.
8. The display unit is strip, which can be assembled into internal arc display surface, external arc display surface, internal circle display surface, S display surface, spherical display and other special-shaped screens, with display effects that cannot be achieved by ordinary conventional displays;
9. LED curtain display screen and LED grating display screen have the advantages of light weight, good wind resistance, convenient installation, good heat dissipation performance, convenient front and rear maintenance, good waterproof performance, good seismic performance, low cost of auxiliary installation frame, silent without fan, etc.;
10. When LED curtain display screen and LED grating display screen are used for outdoor use, the approval can play a marginal game with the government, and the approval in the form of building lighting can bypass the obstacles of commercial display screen approval.

Recognised for our Investment ethics
We were recently in the United Arab Emirates attending the ETHICA summit for the Ethical finance innovation challenge & awards. We are very proud to announce that Yielders were invited to attend as a finalist for this most prestigious ethical award, in the world of business and finance.
"*The Ethical Finance Initiative Award promotes emerging and existing talent providing ethical financial solutions or initiatives that can be implemented within the financial sector. A single prize of $100,000 will be awarded.*" ETHICA
We were selected from a huge number of applicants worldwide and made it through to the shortlist of finalists. There are some key ethical and Islamic features to the way that Yielders operates, these were recognised by ETHICA as ground breaking not only in the Fintech industry but also amongst similar businesses based on an equity crowd-funding model.
You can discover some of these features below:
- Financial Literacy and financial inclusions With a minimum investment figure of £500 the Yielders platform is far more accessible than a great deal of other investment platforms. This greater accessibility empowers people who would otherwise not usually be involved in this level of financial product.
- Zero leverage – No Banks, No Interest Rates, No Debt This is a feature of truly Islamic financial institutions; no compounding interest rates so there is no way any incurred debt can spiral out of control – as is the case with more conventional financial institutions.
- Social Housing – pre-defined lease agreements with local housing authorities. By focussing on working with local housing associations we can address the under supply of social housing, which is currently an ethical and social issue in the UK.
- Risk Sharing – Anchor investors (prefunding). We practice a unique form of risk sharing in the equity crowd funding industry, ensuring that all of our assets are prefunded prior to be offered to the crowd. Therefore ensuring that wealthy investors take on the initial risk.
- Strategic relationship with charities – we work very closely with the National Zakat Foundation, the Red Cross, and other charity providers as part of our on going operations and ethical strategy.
- Transparency – clearly defined returns and fees. In this regard we are attempting to shape the industry, from a more ethical standpoint. With net returns, investment calculators, FCA compliance, clearly defined exit strategies, a democratic voting mechanism for all investors, and consistent communication with the online community. All of these features allow Yielders to operate in a far more transparent and less complicated manner.
The Investment Governance Cycle
Essentially the below cycle summarises how Yielders operate as a business, for Yielders to be a successful and ground breaking business moving forward, it is important that all those involved are always learning and the business model is altered accordingly – ensuring that our core values of strong returns and an Ethical eco system are maintained at their highest levels:

If you're looking for the most amazing hotels in Shanghai, then look no more. Here are the most stunning, highest rated, five-star hotels in central Shanghai.
Shanghai Municipality
The Shanghai Maglev Train
Shanghai has a really cool way to get to the airport, it's a 500km/h mag lev train! Only one problem the train is located miles from anything! In an odd peice of planning this superfast mag lev train terminates 20 minutes away from the city central. So by the time you catch a bus, taxi or the subway to the station well, it's not so fast really.
Yuyuan Garden Shanghai
The Yuyuan Garden was built in the late 1500's by a government official of the time as a personal undertaking. The garden today takes up a vast area with traditional style buildings, a lake, the garden itself and various halls.
Pudong District and the Oriental Pearl Tower
The Pudong District of Shanghai is a bold statement of a country about a modern city that's on the move, in particular, the area along the Huangpu River opposite the Bund features an impressive array of modern hi-rise architecture.
Shanghai Museum
What to do in Shanghai when the weather is terrible and you can't see anything for the thick haze, check out the much talked about museum. It's free, so why not!
Shanghai Shopping – Nanjing Road
One of the things that continue to amaze me about China is the sheer scale of things, I come from Australia where there is 21 or so million people on an island almost as big as China, but in just one of Chinas many many big cities, Shanghai, for example, there is almost just as many people. Shanghai has a population of almost 20 million.
New Asia Hotel Shanghai
I booked the New Asia Hotel through HotelClub and at the time it was pretty cheap, and for the location, it was far cheaper than anything that was close to the Bund, Nanjing Rd and so on.
Shanghai Copy Market – Going Going Gone….
If you walk around the major shopping areas like Nanjing Rd, get ready for the constant approaches from hawkers trying to lure you to their shop.
I was just minding my own business, walking along the famous shopping strip that's Nanjing Rd and I this guy jumps in my face asking "what do you want, dvd, t-shirt…jeans you want, i phone, copy market sir, come to the copy market" and they are persistent, they keep badgering until you look them in the eye and say a firm 'no thanks'.
Welcome to Shanghai China
My first introduction to Shanghai was similar to that of Beijing, another taxi driver that sees a foreigner as dollar signs. As I walked out of the Shanghai Station I walked straight up to the cab rank and was fortunate to find a couple of drivers who spoke English. I told them the hotel I was staying at and one said no problem, so I started to throw my stuff in his boot. It's on the meter right? I asked, no meter, 100 RMB he replied.
Beijing to Shanghai via Train D305 – Soft Sleeper
This was my second trip on a train in China and again it's an overnight train with the trip taking just over 10 hours. I would be travelling on the D305 which leaves Beijing South station an 9.40PM and arrives in Shanghai at 7.52AM.

PRESS RELEASE–February 2018
Introducing the SER ART Project by SER Collection Hotels
A cultural programme, designed to embrace the SER Collection philosophy
"Peace and art are the greatest of treasures for human beings."
Sandra Pérez Lozano, Cuban artist and owner of SER Collection Hotels (SER CasaSandra in Holbox Island, Mexico and soon-to-be-opened SER Habiramy in Havana, Cuba) announces the launch of the SER ART Project: a programme embracing the SER Collection philosophy of using organic spaces to connect nature, art and human sensitivity, working with both international and local artists at both hotels.
The project begins at SER CasaSandra in Holbox Island, Mexico. Announcing its launch, Sandra Pérez Lozano commented: "We believe that peace and art are the greatest of treasures. The SER ART project will invite curated artists to search and reflect on both Holbox and Havana's natural, sociological, cultural, historic and economic environments and relevant art projects will then be curated. At Holbox, this will include Yucatán and Mayan heritage and the Mexican heritage in general; the same regarding Cuba for our Havana property. The SER ART project is defined by both conservation and education."
SER CasaSandra on the Mexican island of Holbox has recently launched 'La Isla Residencia' – where local and international artists are invited to inspire the children of Holbox on the importance of interaction between life, art and culture. Inspired by the local environment, art installations will be created by the artists and children and then donated to the House of Culture of Holbox, a cultural club on the island. SER CasaSandra hotel will host the artists and work with them and the children of Holbox's only school during the creative process.
Guided by Sachie Hernández, Project Manager of the SER art residency series, curators of art and visual arts, art experts and critics will select emerging and well established artists from different artistic mediums: visual, music, film, literature, performance, architecture and design.
Pérez Lozano says: "Holbox is a truly authentic destination within the Quintana Roo state and I am delighted to have the opportunity to support Holbox's House of Culture with this special project. We want to educate our younger generation as well as leave clear evidence of the artist's involvement and inspirational role. All artworks will be displayed at the House of Culture of Holbox as an on-going project."
The first art residencies of 'La Isla Residencia' series have hosted Cuban artists Mari Claudia García – inspired by the textile works of the Mayas community of Yucatán – and Ernesto Sánchez – who has an experimental approach to painting, inspired by the nature, control and freedom of gestures.
During their stay at SER CasaSandra in 2017, the two artists focussed on the management of water, rubbish and drugs, and found inspiration in Holbox surroundings and inhabitants. They also hosted two workshops for the local school's pupils who were asked to create stories about their island using recycled materials (e.g. sand, leaves, shells, plastic bottles and bags) as well as draw, paint and create sculptures inspired by life on the island, using pencils, watercolours and playdough.
García and Sánchez commented: "Working with the local school has been inspirational – the children's energy and the love they have for the island is incredible. It has been incredibly rewarding to show them how special we find each of them and their roles in this project as well as Holbox itself. Investing emotion and passion into their art was the ultimate objective of the project – they are now the true guardians of this special paradise."
Mari Claudia and Ernesto will be back in Holbox in 2018, to finalise their work and exhibit theirs and the children's art pieces at the House of Culture of Holbox Island, marking the very first 'La Isla Residencia'.
The second art residency – scheduled for 2018 – will see the involvement of US-based and internationally renowned Cuban artist Sandra Ramos, who says: "Art can be a powerful tool to change the world and in Holbox I want to teach the local children, who represent the island's future, how to encapsulate their energy into something magical and empowering."
SER Habiramy, located in the city centre of Havana and that will open at the end of 2018, reflects a unique reference to Cuban art and culture. Set in the old town, just a few steps from the Capitol, this three-floor property was built in 1905 and is a celebration of Cuban heritage. Sandra explains: "Havana is place of art, emotion and historical culture which I believe all nurture the soul. This is why I named the new hotel Habiramy, which means "In beauty I see myself". Habiramy emphasises Ser Collection's commitment to Cuba as Casa Sandra does to Mexico.
During the refurbishment of the building, SER Habiramy will host art exhibitions such as La Línea, a solo show by Ernesto García Sanchez which has recently closed.
In Holbox García Sanchez took inspiration from the nature of the island as well as the children's energy and the love they have for the island. In Havana, his work will reflect the history that has characterised Cuba.
Sandra comments: "Garcia's work and passion show how art can be a global tool that can give voice to local needs and support the community. The educational approach to the Cuban project in Cuba will also hopefully inspire a less young local audience to take action."
Garcia's exhibition will close at the end of January to give the opportunity for the restoration project to begin again. Over the following few months, the residence will host other exhibitions according to the building schedule.

Introduction Premium WordPress Themes Help Desk
When On the lookout for plugin or a theme, WordPress users are spoilt for choice. With the official repository, dedicated marketplaces and various WordPress shops, there are thousands of options — so many, in fact, that it can all too easily become hard to make a decision. Premium WordPress Themes Help Desk
Making So isn't something to be taken — the choice is vital to your site's achievement, though. After allyour website's theme will determine the design displayed to your customers, and your plugins will include most of its functionalities.
To help You make an educated choice, I'll take an in-depth look at a few of the best places to purchase WordPress themes and plugins: MyThemeShop. In addition to examining MyThemeShop generally, I'll also be looking at its most important attributes, reviewing a few of its best products and sharing hints for prospective buyers.
Click Here to sign up to MyThemeShop Now!
Let's begin!
What Is MyThemeShop?
With a Name like MyThemeShop, you would think the answer will be clear cut. In fact, MyThemeShop occupies a middle ground between a WordPress theme store and also a WordPress'bar'. However more leans towards being a club.
This is Because although all of its goods (MyThemeShop develops themes and plugins) are readily available to purchase individually, in addition, it has a membership option that gives users complete access to its whole product range.
Think It or not, MyThemeShop is among the most significant WordPress clubs around, boasting a whopping 300,000 satisfied clients and a catalogue of 20 plugins and 99 themes. Premium WordPress Themes Help Desk
MyThemeShop Support
As we have Touched on a number of times in this article, MyThemeShop offers 24/7 service for all its clients, quality. It takes place primarily in its service forum, in public, so that other users can learn from problems that are common.
There is a Dedicated section for topics and plugins, also parting between premium and free products. Post your issue about the forum and one of the MyThemeShop-employed service team will respond immediately — usually .
Rather Than only concentrating on paid members, MyThemeShop offers great support to users that are free also, considering that the service a person receives for a commodity should not rely on if they paid or not.
The forum Additionally supports a search function, so you can look to a problem — usually the quickest way to find answers. Queries that were resolved are indicated with a green solved stamp.
Along with The support forum, MyThemeShop has added a selection of 45 video tutorials teaching the basics of WordPress, the way to use the MyThemeShop goods, and even how to use some popular non-MyThemeShop plugins. These videos are available via the Tutorial tab.
And, if You are still not able after posting to the support forum to fix your problem, MyThemeShop also offers support. Should you need tweaks to your theme, specific customisations, website setup, or site migrations, the MyThemeShop service team will be able to assist you out (although these services are, as you would expect, paid).
MyThemeShop WordPress Themes
Now, on To the things that is important: the quality and choice of its products. We'll start by studying MyThemeShop's core product range: WordPress topics.
The MyThemeShop collection is composed 16 ones that are free, and 83 premium topics. Premium WordPress Themes Help Desk
MyThemeShop Themes were created with usability in mind, and every single motif ships with a market-leading theme options panel from which you can command the theme's settings, import dummy content (to have your website looking like the demo you saw when you purchased the motif ), or dip right into its numerous customisation options.
It is Worth taking a little time to discuss the full extent of these options, which makes the topics versatile.
For a Start, every motif has the catalogue of Google web fonts — over 600 and support for colours that are unlimited. Maybe more importantly, all themes offer unlimited background options: including a variety of built-in background patterns, the above unlimited colours, and also the option to upload a custom background picture.
The Topics are fairly feature-rich too. There's built in advertising management, fashionable and lightweight buttons, and contact form performance included with each theme. All topics also come with support for the whole collection of MyThemeShop shortcodes, letting you incorporate eye-catching design components to your website with ease.
Most Importantly, though, is that underneath all of this is a clean, lightweight, and powerful code. What is more, to ensure your site is as visitor-friendly as you possibly can, all themes boast a fully mobile reactive design, lightning-quick load times, and cross-browser compatibility.
Another Bonus: every theme has a narrated video tutorial, also MyThemeShop offers round-the-clock support to assist you out of any tight spots you may experience (more about this later).
The Themes are split across four classes:
- Magazine themes (39 available)
- Blog themes (41 available)
- WooCommerce topics (17 available)
- Business topics (9 available)
Searching To get a motif is easy, and the MyThemeShop website has lots of features that will help you out. For a start, you can search for themes in each of the four classes we have just listed, plus there's another category for free and miscellaneous themes.

The main purpose of semantic web is to create the universal medium for the purpose of exchanging the information by inserting the documents within the semantics on internet within a specific manner. The Semantic web is having many capabilities through which they will be able to integrate the day to day trade mechanisms, daily updates associated with intelligent agents. Ontology can be considered as the domain concept that is capable of reading the different formats and it includes different resources such as individuals, characteristics, sayings as well as associations. Ontology is widely accepted technique that is been utilized as the specific standard knowledge resources for the purpose of supporting semantic web.
Ontology is widely used in Semantic webs for getting efficient information retrievals from the actual source system. In order to identify the improbability of the information ontology as well as web fuzzy logics can be associated together which is so called referred to as fuzzy ontology as the predefined hierarchy concept. Designing the hierarchy for the specific domains is not such a simple task and this proposed system will introduce a FOGA- fuzzy ontology generation framework which is capable of producing the automatic fuzzy ontology for the purpose of identifying the uncertainty of the information. This FOGA framework involves three different elements in it such as Fuzzy formal concept analysis, Concept hierarchy generation as well as Fuzzy ontology generation. The actual reasons for ontology enhancement towards the new data will be identified. In order to produce the ontology within the database the fuzzy logic technique will be used in this proposed system.

The purpose of these sculptures is to reflect on our behavior towards a material culture and hyperconsumerism and the belief that having more gives us happiness. For this, we have created a space in which passers-by can interact and be part of the visual narratives implicated in the different textile pieces made by artists Joyce Sanchez and Maria Gil. Both artists were challenged to go beyond the functionality of each of the pieces of clothing they were given and dedicated months to turn them into works of art by giving them a new meaning. The technique they use is mostly bricolage. The performances started their journey in our neighborhood: «37th Ave and 78th Street, Jackson Heights, 11372 » «Train Station Roosevelt Ave / 74th Street, Elmhurst, 11373» «Roosevelt Ave between National Street and 104th, Corona, 11368»

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — The Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania says not to expect a third eaglet in the Hays bald eagle nest this year.
The Audubon Society reports that the adult eagles aren't actively incubating the remaining unhatched egg, leading the Society to believe the egg is not viable and will never hatch.
According to the Audubon Society, a typical incubation period for a bald eagle egg is 35 days, and the remaining egg has now gone one week past that 35-day period. It is unknown why the egg will not hatch, but the Society says the egg may have been infertile or something went wrong within the egg after it was laid.

Stay Up To Date, Follow KDKA On Twitter
The three eggs were all laid within days of each other in mid-February, and the first two eaglets hatched on March 21 and March 22.
Watch The Eagle Cams:
The Audubon Society says the two eaglets appear to be healthy. Last year, the Hays bald eagles laid three eggs. One cracked and neither of two remaining eggs hatched, possibly due to extreme cold temperatures. Three eaglets were successfully raised in 2014.
There is also an egg in the Harmar bald eagle nest, which the Audubon Society expects to hatch around April 13.

Gas creeps below $3 mark
GODFREY — Drivers in the East Metro area are likely pleased to see the cost of unleaded fuel is beginning to creep below the $3 mark.
According to Michael Right, the vice president of public affairs at the Missouri AAA, the decline of gas prices are due to the decreased cost of crude oil. Crude oil is currently selling for around $80 a barrel instead of the $115 barrels being sold recently.
"It's driving down wholesale prices," Right said.
According to Reuters, the decline of crude oil prices is due in part to Saudi Arabia increasing production to compete with world powers such as China, Russia and the United States increases in domestic production.
Right said that the decrease in wholesale prices since the production increase makes a gallon of gasoline on the wholesale market roughly $2.20 a gallon. He added that state fees and taxes are piled onto that price.
"We've been below $3 for quite some time in Missouri," Right said. "Since Oct. 6, actually."
Right said that Missouri has the lowest prices in the nation, with the average gallon of gas going for $2.88. The average in St. Louis is even lower, at $2.83.
At Pit Stop in West Alton, gas prices were $2.81 on Tuesday afternoon.
Right said that gas prices will continue to decrease throughout the season, reaching the bottom near January or Feburary.
"I don't know if people will drive around the block unnecessarily, but I know it is definitely easing their financial burderns," Right said.
Right believes that a lowering in gas prices will allow people to have extra money for other things.
Illinois's average price for a gallon of gas is $3.29, one of the highest in the nation, according to Right. At the Godfrey QuikTrip, however, the price for a regular gallon of gas was $2.99 Tuesday afternoon.
The staff at the Godfrey QuikTrip said they have not noticed an increase in customers. They cited the fact that the price was lowered at 10 a.m., which was after the morning rush.
Right said that several states are enjoying the benefits of gas being under $3. According to Right, Kansas, Alabama, Missouri, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Virgina all have average gas prices under $3.
"I think a dozen or so more states will be in that group in a week," Right said.

Background Live Video Chat
There's no reason live chat should not be simple. Live Video Chat
It is about connecting with your clients and giving them the very best solution in a reasonable amount of time.
Nevertheless, many live chat extensions for online stores give you a far too intimidating interface using tools which are overkill for such a rudimentary support moderate.
Pure Chat has another approach.
Pure Chat is a live chat program which aids small businesses provide instant answers and convert more prospects.
You're not likely to find anything mad with this particular tool, but that's the glory of it. The pricing is straightforward. The features are simple, and the total interface makes it quite simple to communicate with customers who want answers fast.
So let us have a deeper look to the live chat platform to know who it is ideal for and which of those features are impressive.
Pure Chat is a live chat program that lets users communicate with their clients directly on their website. Its attributes include unlimited agents, unlimited chats, full chat history, widget customization, and much more.

Summary of User Reviews
What PureChat does nicely:
Users that gave Pure Chat a positive review said that the program is easy to set up and navigate because of its user-friendly interface. They also like the way the tab switches to a email form when each of the operators are all offline.
What Pure Chat does not do well:
Users who gave Pure Chat a negative review stated that the app can be slow at times, causing delays in client communications. They also complained about frequent disconnections, especially on mobile.
Most Useful Favorable User Review
An individual who left a positive overview of Chat on G2 Crowd said they were able to persuade customers to commit to a purchase within minutes of communicating through the program. He also likes the way the tool provides them with a means to answer clients' questions quickly and market their products without the use of mobile calls.
Most Useful Negative User Review
A user who left a negative overview of Chat on Capterra whined about getting timed out without notifications. He clarified that this makes it difficult to keep agents who have retail duties on chat during high traffic hours causing them to lose potential business. He also suggested adding an on-screen prompt that reminds them when they have been logged off.
PureChat Attributes
Visitor Tracking
Starting conversations at the ideal time depends on how well you can monitor your traffic. For instance, if you're sitting on the Chat backend you've got the ability to view which users are browsing your website in real-time. So if somebody is looking at a pair of shoes you sell on your site, you know exactly what to begin speaking about, and you even have the instruments for creating canned responses for specific components of your website. Live Video Chat
Chat Interface
The obvious beginning to this review is that the actual chat interface. Does it feel useable for both beginners and advanced users?
It all begins by revealing a chat box into the new visitor. If they've been to your site before, the agent about the backend sees all the customer information and interactions that have occurred before. It works exactly like an instant messenger, (where the chats arrive in real-time), but it also lets you view previous transcripts and reps have spoken to a customer in the past."
Notifications are sent to you when a conversation comes in, and you can schedule when you are offered for chatting to ensure clients know when you are online.
Implementing a chat box on your site only requires a fast copy and paste of some code or the use of the Shopify, Weebly and WordPress plugins. You then have the ability to personalize what the chat box looks like before, during and following the conversation. Don't hesitate to modify around colors, set triggers for when the chat box pops open and configure the types that you want people to fill out before speaking to you.
You've got the chance to decide on the default stylings (which can be fine,) but the layout tools are easy enough for beginners and powerful enough for more advanced users.
Mobile Apps
Both iOS and Android apps are offered for people who'd love to handle live chats while on the go. By way of instance, if you have to leave the office but still want to give the best support out there, you won't have to worry about it with a mobile app.
Pretty much all the features you would find on the regular dashboard are carried over to the cellular programs. You have settings for actually executing the talks, together with setting your accessibility, handling transcripts and much more. This gives you a small boost of confidence as it doesn't matter where you are when seeing who's on your site in real-time. Your customer service is constantly handled, since it works like texting from the cell phone.
The reporting is just one of the strongest parts of Pure Chat, because it not only gives you the performance for exporting accounts, but it provides amazing graphs and vision for viewing chat metrics over time. You can track your client satisfaction to make decisions about your employees or to determine which unruly customers you may be spending too much time on.
Pure Chat Customer Service
The Pure Chat support outlets are far more impressive than some of the other options you'll discover for live chat. For instance, a blog is provided for studying about updates and suggestions, while the Guides page is full of information on how to sell online, how to handle rude clients, the way to obtain more live chats and more.
The FAQ page offers you a good notion of what other men and women are talking about with PureChat, while the primary Support page is a knowledge base with documentation for both installations, integrations, chat boxes and much more. I didn't find any service modules for calling in or emailing, so it looks as if you'll have to complete the majority of the research yourself.
A chat box is provided on the dashboard, so rapid interactions together with the service team are possible and they also provide email support in-app and about the website for many plans. Live Video Chat

PureChat Pricing
Pure Chat does not have a free trial. But you don't need one at all, because the provider delivers a strong free plan that you could continue to use for as long as you would like. The paid plans are reasonably priced as well, and the monthly obligations bring along a broad set of features you don't get with the free package.
Let's Look at what plans you can choose from:
Free — For $0 you get support for one user, 1 site, boundless chats per month, a one day chat history and native cellular apps.
Starter — For $20 a month you get support for two users, two sites, unlimited chats per month, a 30 day chat background, native cellular apps, reports, visitor tracking, SMS notifications and integrations.
Business — For $50 a month you get everything out of the former plan and service for five users, three websites and 90 days of discussion history.
Growing — For $100 a month you get everything out of the former plan and support for ten consumers, five websites, an unlimited chat history and also the capacity to remove the Chat branding.
We enjoy the Free program for people simply testing out the machine, but the genuine operation comes into play when you opt for the Starter Plan. The only criticism I have is that you have to receive all of the way up into the $100 per month plan to remove branding.

The Syrian army opened heavy fire at a column of ISIL military vehicles near Palmyra in Homs province, destroying most of them and inflicting a major damage on the convoy.
The attack also killed and injured tens of Takfiri terrorists.
The Syrian army troops and the National Defense Forces continued to push the ISIL terrorists back from more positions in the Eastern part of Homs province, and restored security to more regions near Palmyra.
The Syrian government forces launched a fresh round of offensives in the Northern side of Palmyra on Wednesday and forced the ISIL terrorists to retreat from the Antar chain mountains located in the Northern side of al-Tar mountain.
The ISIL left behind scores of the dead and wounded members and fled the battlefield to evade more casualties.
The ISIL military hardware also sustained major losses in the army's advances.
Reports said yesterday that the Syrian army aircrafts carried out several combat sorties over ISIL strongholds in the Eastern part of Homs province, including the surroundings of Palmyra and inflicted major losses on the terrorists.
The ISIL strongholds in the Southern and Northern sides of al-Shindakhiyeh and al-Sawanaa in the Eastern part of Homs province were heavily bombed by the Syrian air fleets.
The Syrian jets also hit the ISIL convoy of vehicles in the Northern and Southern sides of Palmyra, which ended in the destruction of several vehicles, including machinegun-equipped ones, and the killing or wounding of tens of the terrorists.

Hello Lovelies!
This is approximately the 475927 time I've started a blog, but this is for real. Really. I mean it this time.
The world has always been a crazy place but lately it feels even crazier. It is very tempting to put your head in the sand and ignore all of the horrors happening, but if you keep your head in the sand for too long you suffocate. However, I do think it is okay, and even necessary, to step back every once in a while and do something unrelated.
Self care is a must. Watch a movie, read a book, play a game, do something you enjoy. Books are my happy place. They bring me joy, relieve the loneliness and help me find air when everything is pushing in and I'm fighting to breathe.
So, in order to keep myself going, this is where I will be indulging myself, discussing something that makes me happy when all else fails. Follow along if you'd like.
I'd appreciate the company.

Beond was born as Buy Energy Online in the .com boom years, providing an online reverse auction to businesses buying energy. We continue to invest in developing innovative and sophisticated systems to support our tendering and risk management services. We are now building our 5th generation system. Once we complete a system, we redesign from scratch incorporating new features and market developments.
Our latest system places our clients in the driving seat using a browser to steer the tendering and risk management process themselves. All flexible purchasing contract variants and fixed price contract variants can be compared on a like-for-like basis during a tender, including analysis of the residual component of offers.
Beond attracts the top procurement talent by offering a professional organisation unique to energy markets. Our directors build their own businesses, including developing long standing relationships with their own clients, developing the professional skills of their own team and sharing equity in the business based on their contribution to success.
Beond takes a unique approach to procurement by identifying the lowest energy cost plan for their clients. This includes running site audits to identify energy efficiency and self-generation opportunities which can reduce usage and cost, supported by a procurement plan tailored to the sites requirement over the life of technology assets. For instance, it may be cheaper and less risky to execute a spot based hedging strategy for sites implementing demand side response, building management systems and battery technologies.

Badgers Walk is a select mews development of nine 3 and 4 bedroom homes accessed via a private driveway situated within a sought after location of Fleet.
These family homes are designed to an exacting standard with high quality specification offering; neutral decoration throughout, individually designed fitted kitchens by Nobilia, Hotpoint appliances and sleek modern Laufen bathroom suites.
The New Year has seen a burst of enthusiasm from house buyers, which has led to three of the plots being reserved off plan already.
"Securing sales off-plan gets the development off to a great start, but the designs and the guide prices have to be right to attract buyers, something I am pleased to say Natta have recognized" explains Michael Lloyd, Associate Director of Mackenzie Smith in Fleet.
"The houses are now taking shape very quickly, helped by the recent mild weather, and I anticipate completion from February onwards.
"Guide prices for these stunning homes at Badgers Walk start at £340,000 for a three bedroom property with the four bedroom three bathroom, detached home available at £499,950.
"Natta Homes has a reputation built up over 35 years for creating high quality properties. The company knows exactly what buyers want – and, more importantly, how to provide it.
"As well as a 10 year warranty on the house itself, for instance, there's also an extended warranty on fitted appliances and this is a sure sign of a builder who cares."
Fleet town centre and its great selection of shops is easily reached on foot from Badgers Walk, while the railway station's close proximity is a boon for those facing a daily commute. A position within the catchment of several successful and desirable schools adds to its appeal while Elvetham Heath, Fleet Pond, and the Basingstoke Canal also help make this a great place to live.
"Superbly equipped kitchens and luxurious bathrooms will be ready to help clinch sales," adds Michael. "Now the show home is open, anyone who wants to arrange a viewing can see the excellent fittings and finishes and for those who are keen to reserve we can even arrange a meeting with the developer."
To arrange a viewing of the show home or to find out more, contact Mackenzie Smith on 01252 812121 or email email@example.com

text: People in prison, including those suffering from mental illnesses, are victims of mistreatment such as violence due to the use of excessive force and severe neglect in the form of moral exclusions and disengagement by prison guards and other staff (Haslam, 2006; Blackler, 2015; Gullapalli, 2015), as per correctional policy. This mistreatment is not conducive to a successful reentry back into society. The US rate of recidivism in 2014 was 76.6% compared to Norway's 20%. This difference is attributed to Norway's implementation of the concept of "restorative justice" (Sterbenz; 2014). This concept prioritizes the humanization and rehabilitation of people in prison. Acknowledging their humanity and treating people in prison as PEOPLE instead of irredeemable and unworthy of acceptance (Dreisinger; 2016). Despite the above research, existing information, and efforts made by activist and organizations lobbying against these conditions, the inhumane treatment continues to occur (Blackler, 2015). This would suggest that a larger constituency remains compliant with, and/or ignorant to, these abuses.

Dividing Fractions
1 Hook
Review the concept of fractions – part of a whole – with Slice It! Have students test their spatial skills by splitting unconventional into equal parts. Reinforce key vocabulary such as numerator, denominator, and equivalent.
2 Direct Instruction
In order to understand how fractions are divided, ask students to reconceptualize integer division problems. For instance, when trying to solve 12 ÷ 3, show that you are actually trying to figure out how much 1/3 of 12 is. For division problems, fractions and otherwise, we are actually multiplying by the inverse 12 ÷ 3 = 12 x 1/3. This tactic will set the foundation for more complex problems. Next, demonstrate how to apply this procedure to dividing an integer by a fraction: 2 ÷ 4/5 = 2 x 5/4 or 2/1 x 5/4. Finally, apply this process to dividing one fraction by another: 3/5 ÷ 1/4 = 3/5 x 4/1. Again, the rule of thumb is: find the inverse (or reciprocal) of the divisor (second number), then multiply. Show Khan Academy's video, Dividing Fractions (8:59). Follow up with several practice problems, and try to apply to real world examples. When possible, diagram the quotients with rectangles to show how to simplify the answer (especially when changing improper fractions into mixed numbers). Make sure to introduce key vocabulary as necessary: inverse, invert, reciprocal, dividend, divisor, quotient.
3 Guided Practice
Have students work in small collaborative groups to experiment with Explorelearning's Dividing Fractions Gizmo (http://www.explorelearning.com/index.cfm?method=cResource.dspDetail&ResourceID=1006). This interactive will give students a visual model to help explain the rule for dividing fractions (find the inverse of the divisor, then multiple). Together, students should answer the accompanying Student Exploration: Dividing Fractions packet.
4 Independent Practice
Have students create their own tutorial videos for dividing fractions with Educreations Interactive Whiteboard. They can record themselves explaining the problem solving process, including any tips and hints they value. They can end with challenging practice questions for fellow classmates.
5 Wrap-Up
Student can play with Managhigh's Division with Fractions game, receiving scaffolded support as they go. Players earn more points with increased speed, increased difficulty (three levels), and by solving three problems in a row.

Rugby Union
O'Brien reveals London Irish plan
Ireland international Sean O'Brien has revealed he will be joining London Irish after this year's World Cup.
The 31-year-old has spent his entire career to date with Leinster and has won four Champions Cups and two Pro 14 titles during his time with the Irish club.
However, the openside flanker has now confirmed he will move to English side London Irish after this year's World Cup, with the Exiles looking well-placed to make an immediate return to the Premiership for next season.
O'Brien, who won his 54th cap for Ireland during their Six Nations victory over Scotland on Saturday, will be putting his long-term international future in doubt, as the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) only select overseas-based players in extreme circumstances.
That means O'Brien's swansong could come at the World Cup, although he is not concerned about that prospect as he is excited by the project that awaits him at the Madejski Stadium.
"After speaking with Declan (Irish director of rugby Declan Kidney) it was obvious the ambition London Irish have as a club," O'Brien said. "I'm keen to roll up the sleeves and use my experience to help re-establish London Irish as a top club in England.
"It's a club that's been around for a long time and there's an obvious connection to Ireland with some greats of Irish rugby having previously worn the jersey. For now my concentration remains solely with Leinster and Ireland but it's an exciting challenge that awaits."
Tom McGarry completed his sports journalist degree in 2011,and has since has become an integral part of the editorial and audio team. He is passionate about all things sport, particularly football, and is a lifelong supporter of his hometown club Carlisle United.

Electric Motor Fixed In Less Than A Day
The expert recommendation given is that customers should expect up to four day turnaround work frames. But an undertaking is being given to provide manufacturers and processors with an emergency alternative, should this be required, in less than a day's work. This, however, should never take away from the high standard of workmanship required from an electric motors austin workshop.
A typical repair shop of this type takes care of hydraulics. Not just repair work, but the rebuilding or servicing of existing works. In the beginning, an inspection. Thereafter, expect cleaning work. This is necessary work in order to determine your most economical plan going forward. There is also a spanner in the works to help customers have repairs carried out for half the cost it would normally have taken to provide an entirely new fabrication.
A recommendation will be made once a plan has been formulated. But should products be beyond repairs then an order for a new motor will have to be made. The busy workshop is only thus if it is able to provide complete customer satisfaction for all repair jobs being carried out. Customer service focus always needs to be focused on saving the folks that matter as much money as possible. But again, customers should always be wary of cost-saving initiatives in the sense that it never impacts on the desired quality of workmanship and product.
And so, back to the hours. It can take anything from one working day to as many as four working days to repair an electric motor. But if ever there is an emergency, a 24 hour service is always standing by. Look forward to flexibility and durability in terms of your own unique requirements and given set of standard requirements.

[This is a review of The Knick season 2, episode 1. There will be SPOILERS.]
Gritty, bloody, and often in need of a good scrubbing, The Knick is an unrivaled viewing experience. And at its core, that's what the show really is: a viewing experience. It is the rare kind of television whose every frame is striking in some way or another. Whether it is focused on the latest cringe-inducing medical procedure or simply resting on the still face of someone being spoken to, there is something unique going on in the composition of it all. At seemingly every turn and every edit, the show demonstrates a profound understanding of how each and every detail on the screen is there for a reason.
This is due to the exacting eye of director, cinematographer, and editor, Steven Soderbergh, who did the same with the series in season 1. While The Knick enjoys the talents of Clive Owen as the drug-addled "mad scientist" Dr. John Thackery, and André Holland as the fiery and ambitious Dr. Algernon Edwards, the series is most fascinating and watchable for its multifaceted nature. On one hand it is the captivating story of medicine and surgery at the dawn of the 20th century; that much alone should garner much viewer interest. But it is also a program filled with animated and engaging, but ultimately familiar characters, the writing of whom sometimes didn't rise to the level of the show being created around them.
Despite its shortcomings, the show has always been very good, and still is (actually, in season 2 it gets demonstrably better). But, in a way, even with its many terrific performances, The Knick can sometimes feel as though the star of the show was really the guy behind the camera, the one calling the shots and piecing the whole thing together when the day was over. And while it may seem odd to say, that's okay. Steven Soderbergh's contributions to the series are evident in everything that makes it onto the screen – and probably quite a bit those watching never actually get to see. Soderbergh is the element that makes the show what it is: a rare television program driven by the singular vision of the director.
It could be said, then, that both doctors Edwards and Thackery have something in common with the man behind the camera, but only as they are driven to achieve exacting standards set by themselves – or, perhaps, their previous achievements. What the season 2 premiere, 'Ten Knots,' demonstrates – unlike its director – is that there isn't a character on The Knick for whom some exacting standard does not exist, and yet no one is anywhere near achieving that desired expectation.
The series jumps into 1901, where despite a sense of optimism and perhaps pomp and circumstance surrounding the groundbreaking of the new Knickerbocker hospital, most of the main characters are in need of help. Thackery, who at the end of last season was admitted to a clinic that sought to treat his cocaine addiction with heroin, has resigned himself to a life of clockwatching until he can receive his next fix. Sister Harriet (Cara Seymour) sits in jail, awaiting trial for the abortions she performed for women in need. Cornelia Showalter (Juliet Rylance) is in San Francisco, fighting an outbreak of bubonic plague, before facing the plague of her pervy father-in-law upon her return to New York. And Edwards finds himself at the mercy of a hospital board run by old white men who, as his friend Henry (Charles Aitken) describes are "not the kind of men who like to make history." In other words, these characters are stuck in situations they cannot free themselves from on their own.
Dramatically speaking, that's exactly where the narrative needs them to be, as it provides the actors a compelling platform on which to stage their performances. But it also affords the supporting cast the chance to play savior. Tom Cleary (Chris Sullivan), the aforementioned Henry, and surprisingly – though for his own selfish (and racist) reasons – Everett Gallinger (Eric Johnson) all make efforts to bring others out of the holes in which they find themselves. And although Gallinger's kidnapping and imprisonment of Thackery at sea – until he's clearheaded enough to tie the titular ten knots – is the most overt action taken in the premiere, it serves to underline an unexpected attitude for the series that is surprisingly reflected in the actions and desires of its characters.
In general, that attitude is one of an aspiration for greatness as well as progress. It seems odd for that to be the case – especially given the situations nearly everyone is in and how the storylines revolve around elements such as racism, women's rights, and most evidently, drug addiction – but for everything it is, The Knick is also the sort of period drama that looks into its own period setting and sees the present staring back at it. While some might see that as an indictment on how little things have progressed in an otherwise modern society, the doggedness of characters like Thackery, Edwards, and Sister Harriet keeps it from becoming all too bleak and hopeless.
Of course, Thackery won't find a cure for his addictions, and he will have to deal with the cravings for as long as he lives. In fact he's as certain to backslide, as he is to come up short in his search for a remedy, but failure can be an important part of progress. It's the resolve to move forward and achieve the impossible, and do what has never been done before that drives these characters. And that pioneering spirit is also what makes The Knick such fascinating and endlessly watchable show.
The Knick continues next Friday with 'You're No Rose' @10pm on Cinemax.
