Brand marketers continue to be challenged to come up with "new & innovative" ways to sample.
But history suggests that the terms "new & innovative" for sampling, often leads brands down the path of a poor return-oninvestment.
The term "New" suggests that there is little experience behind the program's concept or type of execution. This totally contradicts one of the key principles of effective sampling: Established programs are normally more effective since each execution has been improved, which results in better trial and purchase conversion results for participating brands. The term "Innovative" generally implies that established or more traditional types of sampling are outdated; when in fact the reason why these programs have been around a long time is, because they work! Research results indicate these programs are successful at building trial and purchase conversion and that's why brands continue to participate in them. This leads us to the old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!". Thinking outside the box So what is a brand marketer to do, when faced with the challenge of exceeding last year's business results, but with a smaller promotion budget?
How can a brand improve the ROI of their sampling plans without going down the path of investing in a risky, unproven program? Answer? By utilizing the advice of sampling experts, like LFM. We can help you compare various programs and make ROI assumptions based on past results. We will assist you in looking at past proven program, to see what we can do to improve the ROI. Starting from a standpoint of your targeting, if your brand was able to successfully convert moms with kids in the past, we may be able to take a look at the data to see if you should be targeting moms with younger children, or moms with teens. We'll help you look at all the elements of targeting to make sure you get the best possible results. The next area of opportunity is in program fees. Brands need to work with suppliers to understand all the costs involved with a program. Brand marketers should have suppliers compete for the business where appropriate; substantial savings can often be found by comparing supplier capabilities. (Note: cheaper is not always better!)

What about other costs?
If a brochure adds no value to your sample, why print it? If a coupon isn't required to get consumers to purchase your product, why offer it? Maybe you need media to support your program; maybe you don't.
We can advise you in that area as well. Review every layer of cost in your program to make sure it adds value. One of the key drivers of sampling waste is re-sampling the same consumer. While an established program might be a safe investment, have you done everything you can do to minimize sample waste? If your samples are packed 500 to a case, you can often eliminate a lot of re-sampling by -packing them in smaller case sizes (A vendor might send two cases of 500 samples to a school that only needs 800 samples, since they don't want to short them.
This will result in 200 wasted samples.) Review this issue with your supplier. Of course you can't invest in "proven programs" if you've never measured results! This is a necessary step to improving ROI. Most brands feel they can't afford to measure results. In today's economy, you can't afford not to! Don't use another brands data; what works for one brand (or category) may not work for another. Know if the program you participate in is driving trial and purchase conversion better than the other programs available to you. Test a small program before expanding it nationally. In summary, it's not necessary to reinvent the wheel! There are many established sampling programs with proven results available to brands that need to reach their target audience with a product sample. The overhead involved with creating an established program was paid for a long time ago (by some other brand) and because of that, the distribution fees are usually quite reasonable. In this tough economy, what Marketing Director or VP won't ask what return-on-investment was received behind the brands product sampling programs? Brand marketers need to make sure they've reviewed all the costs and made sure the program is as efficient (and effective) as possible.
Product sampling was never meant to be a risky, short-term promotion; it's the way to continually build the brands franchise over the long-haul. The pendulum for "New & Innovative" has swung the other way; it's no longer the latest buzzword for product sampling. "Fiscally Responsible" should be the brand marketers desired result of all product sampling investments. "New, brand-loyal consumers" will be the end-result of your sampling tactics.

In Tsarist Russia Lazaryans were known as philanthropists, national and public officials. It was due their efforts that the first Armenian Churches were constructed in the two Russian capitals. The most significant of those was the opening of Lazaryan Seminary in 1815 through the efforts of Lazaryan brothers. This education institutions late become Lazaryan Institute for Eastern Languages – the cornerstone of Eastern studies of Russia. For nearly one and half century it provided education opportunities to Armenian and Russian prominent writers, cultural figures, philologists and historians.

"Illusions" has a polished elegance, even in its ingenious use of raw elements. The track from Diamond Thug begins and ends with an engaging, looping riff that was created by "hammering" a €1 coin against the strings of a guitar. Between the two occurrences of the high frequency riff is a Space Rock journey through a melody that is often solemn and through vocals that are sometimes acrobatic.
The use of the coin to obtain a specific sound is intriguing. Brian May of Queen was known for his use of a sixpence, but it was employed in the same manner as a guitar pick, rather than a "hammer." Another interesting sound is heard during the chants of "It's better than." Is that a jaw harp?
Diamond Thug is based in Cape Town. So, this is the second feature of a band from South Africa in this week's posts (after yesterday's BRYNN). The members of Diamond Thug are Chantel Van T (vocals, keys), Danilo Queiros (bass, production), Adrian Culhane (guitar, synth, backing vocals, production), and Ted Buxton (drums). "Illusions" is a track from the album "Apastron." In an interview with Cape Town's MyCityByNight, the band described "Illusions" as:
"[A] very powerful song to us live and it is generally received as a strong song for the crowd too. It's a bit louder than the rest of our songs, we have big builds and quirky sounds… There are also big shouting choruses with strong bass and crashing drums. It's as if this song brings the feeling of 'breaking free from' something, anything."

Lyrics of "Illusions" by Diamond Thug
Break lights
Capture me in this sound
Hold me right
Right under this ground
Strange now
Hearing me out loud
Illusions make this
This harder to tell
Harder to tell
Wake up
Better than your dreaming
Better than this feeling
It's better than this
Make up
Better than believing
It's better than deceiving
It's better than
Days in
And days on end
Those days
Have their own friends
Keep in time
And keeping up
With their rhymes
Not sure you can handle the wild
Handle the wild
Wake up, better than your dreaming
Better than this feeling
It's better than this
Make up
Better than believing
It's better than deceiving
It's better than
It's better than
It's better than
It's better than
Man, oh man
Today's one of these
I hissed and resisted
All that came with ease
There are no fixed walls
Within these tumbling
Universal laws
Universal laws
It's better than
It's better than
It's better than
It's better than
It's better than
It's better than

Which Kindle should I buy? - A comparison of available models
The decision
In case you are reading this article, you are most definitely thinking about buying a new Kindle; you are just not entirely sure which model to buy yet. There are lots of available options, so I can't blame you being unable to decide for now.
If you wish to have a 'simple' e-Reader, you already have to face 5 different products just within the Kindle brand itself. But if you wish to buy a tablet not just for reading books, not only the Kindle brand offers various models, but the competitors do as well. For example, the newest Kindle Fire tries to win you over brands and great names like the Samsung Galaxy Tab, the Apple iPad-generations, the Barnes & Noble NOOK, the Google Nexus, the ASUS MeMO Pad HD 7, and so on.
This article was born to help you make a decision most suitable for you and most 'tailored' for your demands.
Key features to consider
First of all, let's see what key features do you have to consider to get a general idea about what you need exactly.
The weights of the different types of Kindles vary between approximately 170 and 570 grams, where the basic ones are the lightest and the newest Kindles that know the most are the heaviest.
The sizes of these Kindles also vary between a wider range: the smallest Kindle is 166mm x 114mm, meanwhile the biggest, the DX is 264mm x 183mm.
Getting used to a Kindle without a touchscreen might be a bit hard once you already have a smartphone with one; therefore this is also an important question. Obviously, the most basic Kindle is an E-Reader, so you don't really need a touchscreen for turning pages, but there's also an option for that if you do.
On the other hand, the newest Kindles are tablets, so they are not only designed for reading books, but playing and surfing the internet as well, therefore they all have touchscreens.
Additionally, the resolution, the colour (the ones before the Fire-series have greyscale screens) and the size of these screens are also very different in each type, so these should be taken into consideration as well.
Only for reading e-books or more?
From the previous point you can already see that apart from the book-reading basic function, some Kindles offer other functions as well. The latest Kindles are not e-Readers, but tablets, therefore one is able to also play games, watch videos, videochat, e-mail or freely surf the internet on them – just like we can do on any other tablets as well.
A Lighted cover for sale on Amazon
Light to read in the dark
The screen of certain types of Kindles has a built-in light-source, meanwhile some really work like a book – in case you want to read them in the dark, you should either turn the lights on in the room, or buy a special cover case with a built-in light for them.
As the latter cases are usually very pricy, you should consider this point carefully as well.
Supported formats
From the previous points anyone can see that the latest Kindles rather work as tablets than simple 'books', therefore they support much more formats as well. For example, on the newest Kindle you can watch movies, listen to music, audio books and run different applications or games as well, meanwhile the basic Kindle supports certain text (AZW, TXT, PDF, MOBI, PRC, HTML, DOC, DOCX) and image formats (JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP) only.
Wireless connections
All Kindles offer Wi-Fi connectivity, so you can easily upload any books or documents you already have on your computer onto your Kindle.
Some of the Kindles also offer free 3G connectivity (apart from the Wi-Fi of course), which means you can download any book on-the-go as well without the need to connect to your home Wi-Fi. This is perfect for you if you travel a lot or if you tend to find yourself downloading new books or documents while you are far from your home. These types of Kindles usually cost more, though.
Storage space
Storage space basically means the free space that you have for yourself on you Kindle, so it determines how many books you can store on your device at the same time. If you own a tablet Kindle, then the storage space is also for storing other files like video, music or application data.
Battery life
The battery life of a Kindle depends on many things. The most basic Kindles only use power when you turn the page shown on the screen, therefore they can go with one charge for several weeks (6-8 weeks), in case the Wi-Fi is turned off (so Wi-Fi is only used while uploading new content).
On the other hand, the newest tablet Kindles can only run for 10-12 hours without being recharged.
The most basic Kindle can go for less than $50, meanwhile the newest tablet Kindle with 64GB of storage space is offered for more than $450. So all in all we can say that the more advanced the device is, the bigger the price you have to pay for it.
With or without special offers
On Amazon, you can often find Kindles offered for sale 'With Special Offers'. This means that you will see special offers on the screen of your Kindle when it is sleeping. These ads only show up once the Kindle is in sleep mode, so you won't find any offers popping up while you read. In my opinion, this option is actually not bad, as you will spend about $15-20 less on your Kindle and as I said, these ads don't really bother at all – moreover: they can be pretty good offers.
On the other hand, if you dislike seeing a few ads daily on your device, then you can spend a couple of bucks more on the device to get a totally ad-free Kindle.
Loads of options - Which Kindle to choose?
Basic e-Readers
These Kindles offer the most basic functions, so they are the most useful for the main thing they were designed for – reading.
Kindle Basic on Amazon
Kindle 4 (Basic)
From all the above, I think you already know this is the most cheap and lightweight member of the Kindle family. It is very simple to use, and in my opinion, it is the best option if you only want to read books and documents on your device (I also own this Kindle). Although, in case you want to make some notes while reading, forget this device, as it is a pain to enter any text with its controller button.
It has a 6", 800x600 greyscale screen, a 5-way controller button on its bottom and 2 GB storage space.
Kindle Touch cover on Amazon
Kindle Touch
The Kindle Touch is good for people who enjoy taking some notes while reading. As the name suggests, this device has a touchscreen with which you can easily enter any kind of text into the device. This Kindle also comes with 3G connectivity (costs more than the Wi-Fi only edition).
This has a 6", 800x600 greyscale multi-touch screen and offers 4 GB storage space.
At the moment, Amazon is only offering Refurbished or Used Kindle Touch for sale.
Kindle Paperwhite
The Paperwhite has a built-in light, therefore you can use it and read easily even in the dark, without any additional light on. It also has a touchscreen and an 'X-Ray' feature which means you can simply tap on a word and look up additional information about it whenever you want it. Additionally, this Kindle is able to handle audiobooks as well.
This Kindle also comes with 3G connectivity (it costs more than the Wi-Fi only one).
This device has a 6", 1024x768 greyscale multi-touch screen and 2 GB storage space.
Kindle Keyboard cover on Amazon
Kindle Keyboard
The Keyboard Kindle is the best for people who make loads of notes while reading. The built-in keyboard on the bottom of the device offers very easy handling. This device also comes with 3G connectivity, but this costs more than the Wi-Fi only edition).
A Kindle Keyboard has a 6", 800x600 greyscale screen and 4 GB storage space.
At the moment, one can only find used Kindle Keyboards for sale on Amazon.
Kindle DX on Amazon
Kindle DX
This is one of the biggest Kindles on market, as it has a big screen and a built-in keyboard on its bottom, so this is also perfect for people who enjoy taking lots of notes while reading. The DX only comes in a free 3G connectivity edition.
This device has a 9.7", 1200x924 greyscale screen and 4 GB storage space.

Cover for Kindle Fire on Amazon
These are the newest members of the Kindle family. On a device like this you can freely browse the internet, watch movies, listen to music or audio books, play games or use any kind of applications. They run Android OS. Obviously, they offer a lower user experience and processing power compared to the pricier competition on the market, but they are called 'budget tablets' for a reason.
A downside of these kinds of tablets is that they are not as comfortable for the eye to read on them for longer periods of time. Reading on the sun might also be impossible because of the reflections on the screen. Plus, their battery depletes sooner as they use up more power to work. Therefore, if you would like to read on a Kindle instead of using it as a tablet, the 'simpler' editions might be better for you.
Kindle Fire
Apart from the upper mentioned 'perks', this device has a 7", 1024x600 multi-touch LCD colour screen and 8 GB storage space.
At the moment, one can only find used Kindle Fire for sale on Amazon, without the special offers.
Kindle Fire HD 8.9" on Amazon
Kindle Fire HD
This device comes in two options. The first has a 7", 1280x800 multi-touch LCD colour screen and 8 or 16 GB internal storage space. The second has a 8.9", 1920x1200 multi-touch LCD colour screen and 16, 32 or 64 GB internal storage space and a Front camera as well. The latter device can be bought with 4G connectivity, but this obviously costs more than the regular one. These tablets also have built-in Bluetooth.

How to add books to a Kindle?
To add books to a basic Kindle, you have 4 options.
- Download books to your Kindle directly from the store using your own Wi-Fi.
- Download books to your Kindle using the completely free 3G connection (in case your device is capable for this).
- Download a book to your computer and upload it to your device using a USB cable.
- Upload any book or document to your device using Amazon's own application, the Send To Kindle.
So which Kindle to choose?
- In case you want an almost all-knowing tablet, choose any device from the Fire-family, depending on your storage and screen size requirements.
- If you only want to read on the Kindle, without making any notes and you don't mind turning the lights on when needed, choose the Basic Kindle.
- If you would like to make a few notes while reading and you don't mind turning the lights on when needed, choose Kindle Touch.
- If you would like to make a few notes and you'd rather read in the evening/at night, without having to turn on any light, choose the Kindle Paperwhite with its built-in light.
- If you love making notes, but want a small Kindle, choose Kindle Keyboard.
- If you thrive on making notes and enjoy a huge screen as well, choose Kindle DX.
What about you?
Which type of Kindle do you prefer?
Final thoughts
Hopefully after reading this whole article you will be able to make a well-informed decision now.
On the other hand, if you still hesitate whether you should buy a Kindle and download a few e-books, or stick to the good old print books, then you should know - you are not alone. Lots of people went through the same feelings, but most of them reported they have made a good decision by switching to these e-Readers – at least this is the conclusion anyone can draw from the reviews all over the internet.
Additionally, you should also keep in mind: in case you buy a Kindle from Amazon, and finally you change your mind and wish to have a bigger/smaller/different Kindle instead, you can return your current product and buy a different one. More information on Kindle returns here.

We all hear about so many diets out there that might help us be healthier. There are literally tons to choose from and try. I've always recommended choosing one and then adjusting it to what your needs will be. Every one of us has a different body, that works completely differently. Not one of us have an IBD which acts exactly the same as another persons. Yes, we all know people who have suffered through the same things, but with medications, different health therapies, diet and more we all can't expect to have similar results to one another.
Trying to be as healthy as possible is always worth the effort, as long as we figure out what is good for our body. Since I got out of the hospital last Tuesday I decided to try the Paleo Diet out. Basically the Paleo diet, or what is also called the Cave Man Diet is eating anything that is naturally available to us. Think meat, vegetables and fruit basically. If it has flour, is a processed food with preservatives or isn't natural it's not allowed in your diet.
The idea behind it is to live off what the body is supposed to have in it, without all the preservative and processed foods that occur in our diets today. Without all the unnatural ingredients going into our body, it will hopefully function more naturally and not have the problems that the normal diet in our society today causes. And when you think about it, it all makes sense. Imagine our bodies without fake sugars, fake preservatives, fake chemicals and more. Of course it would work better and more efficiently. We basically poison our bodies on a daily basis.
Now I've always lived a healthy lifestyle. Without taking this step I can confidently say that my diet in the past has probably been better than 98% of our society. Still, I've decided to take it to another level and create a diet which works for me. This is why I'm not only doing the Paleo Diet, but juicing and also cooking all of my food.
I've read in many places that our bodies aren't made for eating raw vegetables and meats. They are all supposed to break down by fire, which changes them to a softer state and allows us to digest them more. Raw anything is going to be harder on the body and more difficult to digest than a cooked item. This is why I'm also no longer eating anything raw. If anything raw does go into my body, it will be in juice form.
A question I've received a lot recently is how I eat or tolerate vegetables and fruits. This is where a person has to figure out what works well for them. I can never try to eat a raw pepper or apple, but if I eat them in the right state I can get them into my system and enjoy them. This is why I bought a juicer and cook all my food in the proper way for me.
First the cooking. When I want a side of vegetables it's a little bit of a process in order to get them to the point I'm comfortable eating them. After preparing the vegetables the way I would like, I steam them till they are overly cooked and soft. After that I usually roast them in the over with Olive Oil (To get the benefits of Olive Oil in my body). These two steps put together cook the vegetables perfectly, a little crispy even and easier to digest than raw ones. Trust me, this process makes them a lot easier to eat with confidence.
Juicing is an entirely new part of my diet. At least once a day I make a smoothie with ingredients I have in the house. Breaking them down into a juice before they go into my body. This makes the fruit and vegetables much easier to digest and absorb. Today for example I made a smoothie with banana, apple, avocado, mixed berries and yogurt. It was delicious and since it was a natural juice I got all the benefits of eating them and more.
So those are some of the ways that I've made the Paleo Diet with juicing work for me more. It's not an overnight process of saying "Okay I'll do this", it takes time and patience to figure out what is right for you. For example the other day I tried starting my day with a smoothie and learned quickly that my stomach can't handle the acid that early in the day on an empty stomach. It will take us all time to figure out what is going on. In time though it will help our bodies by knowing we're doing good for it AND it will help our minds to know we're doing good for it.
In the post I've included pictures of some of the meals that I've made. None of them take very long, are delicious and all natural. I have slipped a couple of times the first week, but that is okay. Most experts say it's best to slowly adjust from a normal diet and make the switch to Paleo slowly. Listen to your body and mind so you can understand what it is saying to you. Don't let either on them be silenced and make sure the NEVER STAY QUIET.
Never Stay Quiet!

With our deep experience with web solutions, we help our clients maximize their web, mobile and digital products. Now, we want to grow these relationships even deeper. So we're in the early stages of planning exciting new products and services.
One promising new project is a collaboration with our partners at Cornell's Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research. We already have a strong relationship with BTI, having worked on the BTI website and advising on digital communications. Now, Sanmita is stepping into a new role as advisor on BTI's annual report. The BTI team wants to rebrand its annual report that goes out to donors and supporter. The goal is to make the report more engaging, with a fresh layout and new messaging.
To assist BTI, we're drawing on our experience creating many types of reports. We'll also work with our new design partners at IE Design + Communications. Together, we plan to build a catalog of this type of work, and present a fresh product for BTI. In the future, we could offer this service to other higher education institutions.

In the not-so-distant future TV as we know it, will cease to exist. This is going to have huge ramifications on the whole of human society, or at least the so-called 'wealthy' countries that sit in front of the 'magic-story-box' religiously everyday. I say 'so-called' because we obviously measure wealth in terms of material gain and not internal peace or gratitude for life. TV was an incredible addition to our collective reality. However, we are in the 'Information Age' and this means that the ways we do things as a species are changing faster than you can say, "Humans humorously hunt for humble hints at how to have more happiness."
The coming of the Internet spells the end of the television era, and this could also mean the end of years of walking around with mindless advertising jingles in your head. Thankfully, as TV shows are already putting episodes on-line these hard-core advertising techniques may soon disappear altogether. TV on the Internet means many things for the viewer. As the show is coming straight to you instead of through the old channel medium, you can have more control of the show, with elements of video, like pause and rewind coming into play.
Watching a show straight through without commercials sounds like a godsend indeed. TV websites like pinoy tambayan will still need corporate sponsorship for promotion elsewhere, so the concept of 'product placement' that has already come into play will most probably evolve further, especially in the case of International companies whose products are available universally. Hopefully these 'placements' don't go too far from reality thus taking us metaphorically back to times of 'canned' laughter and obviously contrived dialogue.
Someone will have to figure out what to do in the case of a person wanting to watch an American show when living in England or another foreign country. Your Internet Service Provider may choose to integrate local advertisements into the TV program, as the American commercials won't be relevant to the viewer overseas. TV-On-Demand (paying for individual shows) may also become one of the main viewing options.
The main bonus in having television on the Internet is the idea that we will have more control over our lives. Instead of having to watch a show at a designated time that your channel decides, you will now be able to watch what you want, when you want it. No more missing shows, having to tape episodes, or worrying about your kids seeing something that you feel isn't suitable. The watcher becomes the ultimate controller of viewing reality, so theoretically life becomes easier.
Just because there will be less channels to choose from doesn't mean there will be less to watch. On the contrary, there will probably be more and more shows and the chance for you to put your own show out there on a web site means much more variety. Broadcasters may keep producing groups of shows on websites, but there will surely be much more competition from producers who work on their own.

bites the dust. All this hand sewing means taking frequent breaks to stretch my hands and fingers. Surprisingly it is my left hand that feels it the most, I think because of the gripping of the fabric while I sew. I've been trying to concentrate on not holding the fabric so tightly and this seems to be working.

Where is the Aston Martin, Police Car, etc. and why can I see this car while I am not able to buy it?
Posted by Jevgenia Bohhan, Last modified by Ksenija Kuznetsova on 15 May 2014 03:10 PM
The reason why you may see the removed vehicles in the game is that those cars had been purchased in the earlier versions of the game, became collectible and there is no possibility to sell them.
In order to include any vehicle into the game, we must negotiate with their manufacturer or licensing agency. As a result, sometimes we are forced to temporarily or permanently remove a vehicle from the game. We always do our best to re-negotiate and bring the vehicle back in a future version, or replace it with another car from a different manufacturer.

The Roman ruler Tiberius was as notorious for his sexual frolics as he was keen to keep them quiet. Remind you of anyone?
(pubblicato sul Times il 3 giugno 20090 a firma di Mary Beard, professor od Classics dell'Università di Cambridge )
Benito Mussolini notoriously saw himself as a new Augustus, a 20th-century reincarnation of Rome's first emperor. Sixty years later (and almost as far to the Right), Silvio Berlusconi seems more reminiscent of Augustus's stepson and successor, the emperor Tiberius, who ruled the Roman world from AD14 until he was smothered in his bed in AD37 by the Prefect of the Praetorian Guard (Rome's equivalent of the Head of the Security Services).
Rumour of sexual frolics with adolescent favourites on secluded Mediterranean islands are no doubt the most newsworthy thing that the Italian Prime Minister and Tiberius have in common. Mr Berlusconi has chosen Sardinia as the playground retreat of his old age. Tiberius spent most of his early seventies on the island of Capri, in his so-called Villa of Jupiter (a property that fell not far short of Mr Berlusconi's Villa Certosa in its lavish amenities, boasting heavy security and a thalassotherapy pool, among other luxuries).

The new flat rate is expected to be unveiled by the Government next week and will bring to an end the current tiered system which sees some pensioners receive a state pension of up to £200 a week.
The new flat rate of £155 will be brought in around 2015 and will only affect new pensioners.
However, the Department of Work and Pensions' own figures shine a spotlight on the numbers who will miss out because they could have received a higher amount of more than £150 a week under the old system.
More than 1.5 million pensioners receive a state pension of at least £150 a week, of which 601,000 are female and 976,000 are men, it said.
Some pensioners receive more than the basic state pension of £97.65 a week because they qualify for additional top-up payments from the State Second Pension (S2P), previously known as Serps or the State Earnings Related Pension Scheme. Further means-tested benefits may also be available to those on lower incomes.
Those earning more than £5,720 a year qualify for this top-up pension, which is funded through their National Insurance contributions. However, it is possible to opt out of this second state pension and this money is paid into a private pension pot instead.
The complexity of this system prompted the Government to consider introducing a simpler regime.
Tom McPhail, a pensions expert at financial group Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "Simplifying this complex state pension system will be good news for most people, but there will also be losers.
"The losers will be in for a nasty shock when they find out that they have less state pension to look forward to in the future but they are going to have to keep on paying the same amount of National Insurance."
The introduction of a universal state pension is part of the Government's overhaul of Britain's retirement system, which include the end of the default retirement age from next week.
A DWP spokesman said: "We have been clear that reforms for future pensioners would bring in a simple, contributory, flat-rate support above the level of the means-tested Guarantee Credit. We will be bringing forward a Green Paper to consult on options shortly.
"As the Budget said, moving to single tier provision would end contracting out for defined benefit pension schemes. The Government will investigate the potential impact on employees and schemes in both the private and public sectors."

A Stevens Point based publishing company held a ceremony to launch an expansion project
Submitted: 11/20/2019
Story By Zackery White
- Worzalla held a groundbreaking ceremony on Wednesday to unveil its recent $12.5 million investment into expanding their company.
Worzalla's CEO and President, Jim Fetherston said this expansion will help the company become a leading book manufacturer in the United States.
"The reason it is important for us right now is a lot of book manufacturing has gone offshore to Asia," said Fetherston. "A lot of American book publishers would like to publish more books domestically."
The $12.5 million investment is expected to create 50 new jobs.
The mayor of Stevens Point, Kevin Wiza said he saw major benefits to the community from this expansion.
"They are creating value here in Stevens Point by having their company here and the fact that it's an employee-owned company, all of those people are in our community as well," said Wiza.
In October, Worzalla announced its investment would cover the cost of new machinery and capital improvements.
They'll be building a 50,000 square foot addition and adding a new printing press and bookbinding machine.
Fetherston said this expansion will improve their production levels
"Well it will expand our production capability dramatically and allow us to bring more solutions to our customer base who's asking us to do more for them," said Fetherston.

Snowmobile Club Trail Boss says parts of trails "not even close to being ready"
Submitted: 12/05/2019

- Snow may be cold, but it's a good insulator. So with all this snow in the Northwoods, many lakes aren't freezing like they could be.That poses a problem for many snowmobile clubs.
The Sno-Eagles Snowmobile Club maintains more than 80 miles of trails near Eagle River. Heavy snow brought down hundreds of trees. It also insulated lakes and swamps, slowing down the freezing process.
Trail Boss Brian Scheid said only about half the fallen trees have been cleared. He also said a lot of the trails are too wet.

- The winter solstice arrives in a few weeks. However, with a decent amount of snow on the ground and a big cold snap on the way, winter came crashing in a little early for us. and for the deer too. That's why the DNR keeps track of how harsh Wisconsin winters are every year.
Deep snow and cold temperatures can cause issues for deer in the Northwoods. The DNR has a system to help track how severe a winter is and the problems it brings for the deer.
"The winter severity index is a way that we can basically put a measurement on the winter and have it so we can track to see how much impact it would be having on the deer herd basically," said DNR Deer Biologist Curt Rollman.

High school students volunteer to help elementary students write letters to Santa

- A handful of elementary school students in Oneida County got the motivation they needed Thursday to learn formal letter writing. When drafting messages to Santa, those students received help from future business professionals.
Volunteers from Rhinelander High School's FBLA/DECA club visited Pelican Elementary Thursday. They helped 1st grade students compose their letters and assisted with proper spelling and grammar.
"I'm impressed, they really do a lot, they know a lot, they know how to write and their spelling is really, really close," said 11th grade student and FBLA/DECA club member Lily Eternicka.
1st grade teacher Ann Edwards says the letter writing activity was a fun break but also a great teaching tool.
"It was great to see them apply what I'm telling them every day to use when I'm not holding their hand to do an activity," said Edwards. "
Instead of just asking the high schoolers how to spell a word they were really trying to stretch out the sounds."
FBLA/DECA club members will visit a couple dozen classrooms this week and next to volunteer with students. In two weeks, members will deliver responses from Santa back to the students.

Christmas tree farmers work around winter weather
Submitted: 12/05/2019
Play Video
- Wisconsin farmers harvest nearly 2 million Christmas trees every year. Like any other crop, weather is a major factor in their success.
"It's pretty much a year round business nowadays," said CEO of Steigerwaldt Land Services in Tomahawk Ed Steigerwaldt.
He says his time of the year is always the busiest. Steigerwaldt and his employees work around the clock to harvest and ship about 15,000 trees in less than a month.
"There's about a three-week window when it's perfect to harvest and we've got to get it done in that time," said Steigerwaldt.
Steigerwaldt and his crews managed to do that this season. However, weather hasn't always been in their favor.
"Last year was my first year and we were harvesting with some snow storms and it was terrible," said yard manager Heather Price. "We were stuck so much more frequently. This year it was wonderful."

These 11 Schemes Were Meant To Kill And Shame Fidel Castro, But They All Failed
Before Fidel Castro died of failing health on Friday, November 25, he survived an incredible 638 assassination attempts.
The attempts were planned and executed during Castro's reign as President of Cuba from 1975 to 2008. Ironically, it was the dictator's own vices and failing health that led him to turn over power to his younger brother, Raúl Castro, in 2008.
However, for 33 years, he managed to survive one attempt to kill and shame him after another. He once said, "If surviving assassination attempts were an Olympic event, I would win the gold medal." As would-be assassins who wanted to murder and ridicule Castro continued to fail, they came up with weirder and weirder plans. Here are 11 of the strangest.
1. Death by lover.
Castro was known to have many lovers, but one, angry from a failed pregnancy, became a CIA informant. Maria Lorenz was tasked with poisoning him with pills, but was thrown off guard when Castro handed her a gun and closed his eyes, giving her the chance to kill him right then and there. She later told Vanity Fair, "He didn't even flinch. He was so sure of me. We made love."

2. Exploding cigars.
Castro's love of cigars was no secret. In 1967, after poisoned cigars had already failed, the CIA planned to hand Castro an exploding cigar at a U.N. meeting. However, the agent got cold feet and the plan was abandoned.

WHITTIER – The University of La Verne men's swimming and diving team earned a split result against Pomona-Pitzer and Whittier while the women lost both matchups on Saturday at Slade Aquatic Center in Whittier.
The men beat Whittier by a 154-131 count and suffered a 185-101 defeat at the hands of Pomona-Pitzer
Scott MacKay got the Leopards off to a good start on the diving boards. The sophomore won the 3-meter event with a season-best score of 279.15 – six points shy of the NCAA cut – and placed second on the 1-meter platform with a 234.15.
Mike Sanchez claimed the 200 yard butterfly with a time of 1:59.67, which is just off La Verne's all-time record, and was the only swimmer to come in under two minutes. Sanchez also had third places finishes in the 100 fly (54.46) and the 400 individual medley (4:26.57).
La Verne also picked up victories from All-American Marc Okimura and Coleman Goode.
Okimura won the 200 breaststroke with a time of 2:13.66 and was a touch behind Pomona-Pitzer's Kyle Dalrymple in the 100 breast (1:00.20).
Goode added a win in the 400 IM (4:19.05) and came in second in the 100 backstroke (55.02) and the 200 back (2:01.24).
The Leopard men finished second in both the 400 medley relay (3:40.05) and the 200 free relay. In the 200 relay, freshmen Daniel Carpenter and Devon Photias each split 21 seconds to overtake Whittier's A team in the final 50.
"We got off to a slow start but really rallied back in the second half," said La Verne coach Pat Skehan. "The men scored big in the last three events [100 fly, 400 IM and 200 free relay]."
On the women's side, Maddie Lovrensky once again extended her three-year undefeated streak in the SCIAC in both backstroke events. The junior was the lone finisher in the in the 100 under 1 minute (58.94) and beat fellow All-SCIAC backstroker Mia Hahn of Pomona-Pitzer by more than nine seconds in the 200 (2:07.81).
Freshman Jessica Watkins placed third in the 1650 free (19:49.75) and Sammy Shiomoto added a third-place finish in the 100 fly (1:01.84).
"We've been working very hard so it was a struggle today," Skehan added. "I am glad we pulled things together and raced well in the end. This will help us as we prepare for the SCIAC Championships."
La Verne will finish the dual meet portion of the season next Saturday at Caltech. Swim meet will begin at 11 a.m. with diving to follow at the conclusion of the meet.

Snake Pass – Nintendo Switch Trailer
Snake Pass ReviewsView All (90 total)
Sumo Digital makes its solo debut with an old school platformer that's inventive, charming and a little too frequently infuriating.
Slithering up simple structures in Snake Pass is one of the most mechanically satisfying video game ideas I've ever experience, and it effectively creates a sensation that feels the way maneuvering like a snake might. The camera and checkpoint systems aren't great, but the concept still managed to hook me for the five hours it took wrap up the campaign. And in the end, I wanted to go back and replay stages to round up all the collectibles I missed.
Metro GameCentral
A great concept with a perfect mix of retro modern gameplay and aesthetics, even if the idea never evolves to have real legs.
Snake Pass is a unique and beautiful platformer, but one that is marred by a steep difficulty curve.

Park Place through the acquisition of the Tiway Companies got four oil and gas properties in Turkey, two of which are producing and have significant potential and one of the remaining four properties is a very good exploration block situated in the prolific oil producing Zagros Basin.
- South Akcakoca Sub-Basin: offshore gas play (49% WI); substantial untapped contingent and discovered resources
- Cendere: onshsore oil play (19.6% WI); long life – estimated 10+ years remaining
- Derecik: 42,833 hectares of contiguous exploration blocks covering the northern extension of the prolific Iraq/Kurdistan Zagros Basin
- Bakuk: onshore gas play (50% WI);
Current production revenue from the two producing fields averages about $328,000 US per month.
South Akackoca Sub-Basin ("SASB) gas field
Park Place owns a 49% non-operated working interest in SASB, a gas producing field located in the southern Black Sea with 4 platforms and an onshore gas processing plant. To date, the field has produced a gross 40 bcf.
The SASB field was discovered in 2004 and 8 wells are connected to the existing infrastructure with the field still producing gas. In excess of US$450 million (100%) invested in infrastructure and drilling to date. However, there was very little redevelopment work at the field since the original wells were drilled.
Future Plans in Turkey
The Company plans to re-drill undeveloped discoveries and low risk exploration wells from the existing SASB platforms in 2019. Each of the four platforms can accommodate between 1 and 3 new wells. Once the new wells are drilled and completed they can be put on production right away as the platforms are connected through a network of pipelines to the onshore facility. Drilling there new wells would markedly increase production and Park Place would have enough internal generated revenue for future growth. In the longer term there are additional gas prospects that are not connected to the current infrastructure that will be evaluated.
SASB Undeveloped Discoveries and Prospects
Five wells were drilled, tested and then temporarily abandoned. Four of these wells tested significant daily quantities of gas.
- Alapli
- Bayhanli
- Guluc
- West Eskikale
Park Place is looking at re-drilling these four undeveloped discoveries from the platforms.
Based on the same technology that discovered the existing wells (85% success rate), Park Place has identified an additional 8 undrilled prospects defined on 3D seismic.
Cendere Oil Field
Cendere is an oil field discovered in the 1990s and is a long life reserve. There are currently 16 producing wells yielding gross 736 barrels per day (net to Park Place 135 bbl/d). It is anticipated the field will continue to produce for plus 10 years.
Park Place own a 19.6% working interest (except 3 wells in which the equity is 9.8%). The field has produced about 20 million barrels to date from an estimated 45 million barrels original oil in place.
The field holds potential for some production increases through low cost perforations in upper pay zones, additional infill well opportunities, the possible lateral extension of the existing field and the possibility for tertiary development.
Bakuk Gas Field
The Bakuk gas field contains one shut-in gas well and is located near the Syrian border. The filed has limited opportunities for future development.
Derecik Exploration Licenses – Zagros Basin
Park Place has 42,833 hectares (105,797 acres) of contiguous exploration blocks covering the northern extension of the prolific Iraq/Kurdistan Zagros Basin, but are located within Turkey where the fiscal terms consist of a 12.5% royalty on gross production. The reservoir and source rocks with the Derecik Licenses are analogous to the Kurdistan's Shaikan Oil Field (636 MM bbls of 2P oil) with is 90 kms southwest of the Derecik Licenses. Surface mapping and seismic surveys have identified 7 prospective anticlinal trends with 2 of those prospects illustrating 4-way closure and are drill ready. Oil seeps occur on the Derecik Licenses and display similar chemistry to the nearby Kurdistan oil fields with some of the oil seeps being up structure from a Derecik drill ready prospect.
The Derecik 2 drill ready prospects have potential stacked prospective reservoirs and an in house Monte Carlo evaluation gives a P50 of 312 MM bbls oil, unrisked.

A thin, clear or white vaginal discharge (known in the obstetrics business as leukorrhea) is a normal part of having female parts. Healthy discharge comes in a variety of colors, though changes are usually signs something's going on inside. And when you're expecting, all those pregnancy hormones make your discharge heavier and thicker. But one of the biggest worries for pregnant women is brown discharge, probably because the color is so close to blood. The good news is, in the vast majority of cases some brown discharge is just part of being a woman.
What brown discharge during pregnancy is
As many women guess (and possibly fear, if they're pregnant), brown discharge is discharge tinged with old blood. For whatever reason, some blood in your uterus took longer to come out — and as it gets older, it turns brown. That means you end up with either brown spotting or a brownish-colored discharge.
What brown discharge during pregnancy means
The good news is, brown discharge very likely does not mean something is wrong with you or your baby. In most cases, it's completely harmless.
The most common cause for brown discharge is irritation. The surge of hormones and increased blood flow throughout your body during pregnancy makes the cervix super-sensitive, and sexual intercourse or a pelvic exam can aggravate it. That results in a bit of brown discharge or light spotting.
If you're nearing the end of your pregnancy, brown discharge could also be a sign that labor is near. A couple of weeks to a few days before you give birth, you'll lose your mucous plug (a glob of mucous that seals off the opening of the cervix during pregnancy). And in the days just before labor, you'll likely see "bloody show," or discharge tinged pink or brown with blood, which means your baby's arrival is imminent. If you suspect you're experiencing bloody show, call your health care provider immediately.
Whether you're pregnant or not, in very rare cases brown discharge during pregnancy can be a sign of more serious issues — an impending miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, problems with the placenta or a sign of an infection of the cervix or uterus (although these prolems are usually accompanied by other symptoms). If at any time the discharge turns into bright red spotting or bleeding, becomes gray in color, or if you experience abdominal cramping or tenderness, rapid uterine contractions or back pain, contact your provider immediately.
What you can do about brown discharge during pregnancy
If you notice brown discharge occasionally after sex, it's more than likely normal — so make a note of it and use a panty liner for a day or two. However if you notice a brown- or blood-tinged discharge after sex more than a few times a month (or for longer than a couple of weeks), or, if at any time the discharge is itchy, has a pungent odor or is accompanied by cramping, contact your doctor, as these could be signs of an infection or other more serious condition.
To be safe, the March of Dimes recommends pregnant women contact their healthcare providers any time they experience bleeding or spotting. While it is more than likely not a sign that something's wrong, it's always best to err on the side of caution and let your doctor or midwife determine the next steps. She may do an ultrasound and pelvic exam to ensure everything's OK (baby is developing normally and there are no signs of infection).
If your healthcare provider does find any signs of a problem, she can take steps to treat you that she (and, of course, you) feels is best for you and your baby. Treatments might include giving you an antibiotic or other medication to clear up an infection, recommending bed rest, or inducing labor (if it's an emergency).

Credit Suisse said late last week that it set aside nearly $80 million to settle a pair of lawsuits brought by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company over 19 residential mortgage-backed securities from 2006 and 2007.
In a release, Credit Suisse said that the settlement covers all claims in two pending securities lawsuits filed by MassMutual against Credit Suisse and its subsidiaries: DLJ Mortgage Capital and Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities.
According to Credit Suisse, it plans to take a pre-tax charge of "approximately $79.5 million in addition to its existing reserves" to settle the lawsuits. The company did not disclose the total amount it plans to pay to settle the lawsuits.
The company said that it plans to take the $79.5 million charge its third quarter financial results.
"Credit Suisse is pleased to have reached an amicable settlement with MassMutual that allows the bank to put this legacy matter behind it," the company said in a statement.
Earlier this year, Credit Suisse reached a $5.28 billion settlement with the Department of Justice over the bank's packaging, securitization, issuance, marketing and sale of residential mortgage bonds between 2005 and 2007.
That settlement included a $2.48 billion civil penalty and a stipulation that Credit Suisse provide $2.8 billion in other relief, including relief to underwater homeowners, distressed borrowers and affected communities, in the form of loan forgiveness and financing for affordable housing.

The mobile operator EE is selling 4G-based wireless 4GEE Mini modems that are affected by a high-severity vulnerability; the flaw, if exploited, allows hackers to run a malicious program on a targeted computer with the highest level of privileges in the system.
Once the EE Mini modem is connected via USB it can be exploited by a low privileged user account to escalate privileges on any Windows computer. This action will allow a hacker to gain full system access to the targeted remote computer and thereby, perform any malicious actions, such as installing malware, rootkits, keylogger, or stealing personal information.
Remember everything can be hacked. In order to stay away from any threats related to the cyber world, we recommend the install of antivirus for Windows or antivirus for Mac on every device that you own, depending on which OS your device is running. If you are a company, it is also recommended to hire every year a specialized cybersecurity company that will run annual tests on your company's network. These tests include penetration testing and ethical hacking tests;
The 4G Mini WiFi modem is manufactured by Alcatel and sold by EE, a mobile operator owned by BT Group— Britain's largest digital communications company that serves over 31 million connections across its mobile, fixed and wholesale networks.
The flaw, is known as CVE-2018-14327, and it lays in the driver files installed by EE 4G Mini WiFi modem on a Windows system and originates because of folder permissions, allowing any low privileged user to "read, write, execute, create, delete do anything inside that folder and it's subfolders."
For a successful attack to happen all the hacker needs to do is replace "ServiceManager.exe" file from the driver folder with a malicious file to trick the vulnerable driver into executing it with higher SYSTEM privileges after reboot.
If you don't wanna be affected by this cybersecurity flaw you have to patch your 4G Wi-Fi Mini modems; you are advised to update the firmware modem to the latest "EE40_00_02.00_45" version and remove previous vulnerable versions.
• Go to your router's default gateway: http://192.168.1.1.
• Click on the "Check for Update" to update your firmware.
• Once updated to the patched software version EE40_00_02.00_45, remove the previously installed software version from your computer.
We will continue to monitor this cybersecurity problem. Meanwhile, users should keep a keen eye out for any cyber attacks. Remember to use an antivirus for Windows or antivirus for Mac in every device that you own, depending on which OS your machine is running, If you are a company we recommend to hire every year a specialized cybersecurity company that will run annual tests on your company's network, tests like this include: penetration testing and ethical hacking.

Mets LH reliever Jerry Blevins was among a panel of current players who discussed MLB's new pace-of-play initiatives with Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
The player's union rejected the league's proposal for changes last week, and it is expected that MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred will implement the changes unilaterally before the season.
Among them are a 20-second pitch clock and tighter restrictions on mound visits.
Regarding the pitch clock, Blevins spoke to former-Met Daniel Murphy about times they've faced one another, and said he will never allow the pitch clock to impact a specific at-bat.
"There is no chance I would allow the clock to go out to where the balance of the at-bat shifts," Blevins said. Personally, it wouldn't affect me. And I think everybody would kind of adhere to it. But I would never want to be the one to see a game come down to something like that. And it probably will at some point if it's instituted."
"A lot of guys feel strongly about the sanctity of baseball, a pride knowing there is no clock," Blevins continued. "That's the one thing that is different from most games -- there is no running clock. It's the sanctity of the game, (with players serving as) kind of protectors for the realm of baseball for both fans and the game that we love."
Blevins also said the outcome of a game should never be determined by a potential penalty for violating the pitch clock rule. In the proposal, a first offense would result in a warning, but the second would result in a ball being called.
