It's hard to match the beauty of a suede couch with other popular materials. Your couch made out of suede probably looks sophisticated and suave. However, it won't look this way forever, and this is especially true if you don't maintain it.
You'll need to take steps to keep it neat and clean. Fortunately, it's not too difficult to give suede the deep clean that it needs to look incredible.
Restoring its beauty can be as simple as regular brushing, cleaning and vacuuming. Several stain protectors can be used on the couch if it's still somewhat new. Let's get the cleaning started.
How to Clean Stains On a Suede Couch
First, you'll need some soft white cloths. You will also need some mild detergent and a plastic spoon. An optional item is suede cleaner. There are actually a few different types of suede cloth, and they react differently to different cleaners.
It's always best to test the cleaner on a small part of the couch before you use it everywhere. Make sure it doesn't negatively affect the texture or cause color bleed.
To start the cleaning process, scrape away as much of the stain you're trying to remove as possible. Mix some of the detergent with water in a small bucket. Stir the water to create some suds.
Apply the suds without applying water to the stain using a white cloth. Carefully blot the stain to remove it from the couch. Repeat this process until the majority of the stain has been removed from the couch.
Monthly Cleaning For Suede
You have the options of performing weekly or monthly cleaning for your suede couch. You'll need to determine what frequency works best for you. Most homeowners don't have the time or desire to clean weekly, so they clean their couch once per month.
The actual cleaning process is quite simple. First, you'll want to remove the cushions. Next, vacuum each cushion with a criss cross pattern, which helps to remove trapped dirt particles.
Most vacuums come with a custom upholstery cleaner attachment. Make sure you attach and use this. By vacuuming the suede, you're able to keep the nap intact while removing debris and dust that have managed to penetrate the surface of the couch.
You can use the same criss cross vacuuming pattern on the rest of the couch. Next, use a suede rubbing cloth or nap brush to rub down the couch's nap. This process greatly restores and polishes the beauty of the couch.
You should repeat this process for every cushion. Make sure to polish both the bottom and top of every cushion, along with the sides.
Additional Tips For Cleaning Suede
Whenever you're planning to clean any type of couch, you should always read the manufacturer instructions. It might also be a good idea to cover suede with throws that will prevent dirt, hair and other unwanted debris from attaching to the couch.
Many homeowners use throws to significantly increase the lifespan of the couch. If your couch is ever assaulted by soft foods, frosting or cream, make sure to scrape it off immediately. A paper towel with a small amount of white spirits is perfect for removing fat or grease.
By following these techniques, you can clean your suede couch or sofa and restore the beauty that has been lost to months of daily use.

The Grimsby Ice Factory was the largest producer of ice in the world. Compressors from the 1930s are still in place and are the oldest and largest example of such to remain.
History of the Grimsby Ice Factory
The Grimsby Ice Factory was built in 1901 to produce ice for the fishing fleets. At the time refrigeration techniques were in their infancy and it was not possible to build chilling units onto a ship. Instead, ice was produced in large quantities on land and distributed onto ships before they left port. The fish they caught could then be packed in ice for the return journey.
Initially steam was used to power the factory, however as demand increased and the benefits of electricity were realised, the plant was upgraded to use electrically driven compressors in 1930. J&E Hall of Dartford, Kent undertook the task of replacing the refrigeration equipment and Metropolitan-Vickers of Manchester were commissioned to provide the electric motors.
The compressors were the workhorse of the factory. They compress ammonia, causing it to cool down significantly. The heat was expelled from heat exchanger coils on the roof, while the supercooled ammonia was pumped to coils around which brine from ice tanks was circulated. This in turn cooled the brine to around -13 degrees Celsius (8°F).
The tank rooms were where the ice was produced. Freshwater was pumped from two bore-holes beneath the factory and poured into moulds. The moulds were lowered into the brine where the freshwater froze as the moulds were pushed gradually through the tank. Once the moulds reach the far end of the tank the ice was tipped out and crushed ready to be used by the fishing fleet. Conveyors transported the ice directly onto the awaiting ships.
Four of the J&E Hall's compressors were installed initially, and a fifth unit was added in the 1950s during a further period of expansion. At its height, the Ice House could produce 1,100 tons of ice per day. This made it by far the largest ice factory in the world.
The factory saw expansion to the tank rooms over the years too. In 1907 two additional ice tanks were added, and a seventh during the 1950s expansion. A decline in demand and new technologies for ice production led to the factory being scaled down in 1976. The factory closed down completely in 1990.
Historical Significance
The huge J&E Hall compressors remain in place, and are the only example of such to remain. They are also the largest compressors of this type ever constructed, so they are of great historical significance. The Ice Factory has been Grade II listed to preserve the compressors, however the building continues to fall into a state or dereliction.
The Great Grimsby Ice Factory Trust (GGIFT) was formed to explore ideas for sustainable re-use of the building. A survey commissioned by North East Lincolnshire Council indicates it may cost £5 million to preserve the factory, and many times that amount to fully restore it.
J&E Hall Compressor Details
Ice Tank Rooms
The ice tanks were super-cooled tanks of brine. Buckets of freshwater were lowered into them which froze into ice as they were slowly pushed through the tank.
Pumps and Tanks
A number of pumps were used to retrieve freshwater from bore holes under the factory.
Compressor Number 5
A fifth compressor was added in the 1950s in a seperate, smaller hall.

Today's news comes from the Czech Security Intelligence Service (BIS) that took down servers used by Hezbollah operatives to target and infect users around the globe with mobile malware.
Michal Koudelka, BIS Director declared "I can not comment on the details, but I can confirm that BIS has played a significant role in identifying and uncovering the hackers' system. At first, we identified the victims and traced the attack to its source facilities and then proudly shut down Hezbollah servers."
The servers were located in the Czech Republic and operated by Hezbollah, an Islamist political party and militant group based in Lebanon, which the US and NATO countries have labeled as a terrorist organization.
All the servers were used to sustain a malware distribution campaign that has been going on since the start of 2017.
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;
Hezbollah hackers first move was to create Facebook profiles of fake attractive women, and then reach out the designated targets. The main purpose of the operation lure the target in private discussions and then convince it to install a third-party instant messaging application to continue the conversation via the malware-infested app.
After running a malware analysis, experts found that the app was infected with a spyware which was used by Hezbollah operatives to retrieve content from the victim's phone.
The malware was hosted on servers located in the Czech Republic, the EU, and the US. The victims were men located in the Middle East, Central and Eastern Europe.
This isn't the first terrorist organization that is using this tactic. In January 2017, the Israeli Defence Force warned that Hamas (Palestine) agents were using Facebook profiles posing as women to trick soldiers into installing malware on their devices. Then Hamas agents used the app to set up meetings with Israeli soldiers and ambush, kidnap, or kill them.
In July 2018 Hamas agents used the same tactic again, hiding malware in dating and World Cup-themed Android apps. The good news is that in the same month Facebook and Twitter have removed a large number of Hezbollah and Hamas-operated accounts from their networks.
Keep in mind that our modern society is dependent on computers, mobile devices, and the use of the internet always stay safe and secured.
We would 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.

We all make mistakes. It's something we often say on our blog because we understand that no one is perfect and, try as we all might, sometimes our best efforts can end in mistakes we wish we could take back.
There isn't a one-size-fits all punishment for repeat offenders
No matter where you stand on the issue, everyone can agree that drinking and driving is a problem in our country. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 30 people die every day in the United States in a drunk driving crash. These staggering statistics have left legislators scrambling to find quickly executable solutions. Many times, these solutions include serious penalties for those who drive intoxicated and even stiffer penalties for those who are convicted of repeat DUIs.
If you leave the scene of a crash you risk a felony DUI
There are few things worse than that sinking feeling you get when a police officer charges you with committing a crime. In that moment, you know that your life could change forever, especially if you don't think quickly and obtain legal counsel right away after getting arrested.
Self-driving cars and the unique problem they create for DUI laws
The discussion regarding self-driving cars has taken a shift in the last few years. No longer are people asking if they will become a reality. Now people are wondering when they will become a reality. This is thanks in part to the push from Google to develop and test the first self-driving car on actual streets, which is a technological achievement some of our Leesburg readers may be quite excited about.
Things you may not know about Virginia's DUI laws
If there are two things that just about everyone knows about drunk-driving charges it's 1.) a BAC of .08 or higher is illegal here in Virginia, and 2.) multiple DUI convictions can lead to felony charges of worsening severity.
Is a personal Breathalyzer your ticket to avoiding a felony DUI?
Most people who live here in Virginia know that the courts in our state take drunk driving very seriously. From fines to imprisonment, a person convicted of driving while under the influence of alcohol faces a challenging road ahead because not only will that conviction stay on their criminal record, it can actually cause further legal problems down the road.
What counts as felony DUI -- and what are the consequences?
For decades, states across the nation have been trying to figure out the best way to handle intoxicated driving. As a result, Virginia and most other states have passed laws making DUI a felony in certain situations, but what's considered a felony varies. In Virginia, there are essentially four situations in which a DUI-related offense could be charged as a felony:
How do consequences differ with repeat Virginia DUIs?
Virginia is known for being one of the states with the strictest drunk driving laws in the country. This is important to keep in mind if you are facing your first ever drunk driving charge or if this is your second or third. You will want to know what you are up against when looking for a criminal defense attorney.
Who will be charged with felony DUI in Virginia?
They say that with three strikes, you're out. In the Commonwealth of Virginia, that phrase applies not only to baseball but can be applied to some DUIs as well.
Lawsuit settled against Virginia woman convicted of felony DUI
A Virginia judge approved the settlement of a wrongful death claim against a woman who is serving jail time for the deaths of two men. The woman had been convicted of felony DUI after hitting the car in which the two men were traveling with her own vehicle as she was driving after drinking. The woman is serving a sentence of 49 months in a women's correctional facility for her felony DUI and manslaughter convictions.

Hi, and welcome!
I write poetry and prose, and enjoy pursuing handicrafts.
I capture images from nature and urban life to be seen in a new and often quirky way, on garments or other domestic items.
My attention rotates between my various interests, so between flurries of activity here, you may see quite long breaks…
…But I'm always happy to be contacted!
1. My avatar – the small circular image, above – is 'Bob the Cat': a robot sculpture I made from items found discarded. He stands about 2 feet / 60 cm tall.
2. I've created a new Collection for any works of mine that have won a place as Featured images. I've only just started going through my portfolio to include them there: there are more to add.
3. Leggings seams: Redbubble tells me that actual product seams are central, although seams may appear slightly off-centre, especially in 'Back' view. (I'm told this is an imaging issue which should be resolved with a planned Redbubble update.)
4. Shiny/textured images: some of my images are of reflective or textured surfaces. Such images printed on surfaces of products may provide pleasing effects, even optical illusions, but please be aware that these products themselves will not have the same reflectivity or 3D texture as the surface photographed.
5. You can ask! If any of my images aren't yet available as the product you'd like – or if you have any other queries… I'll be glad to hear from you!

What Is Flora Mapping?
Flora mapping is a technique for identifying the location and distribution of native plants. It collects information about the:
- Number of plant species in a specific area,
- Location of each species, and
- Relative density of each species.
If continued over several years, the mapping will provide data concerning changes in density and location.
Working in teams of two and equipped with GPS devices, digital cameras, field guides, and notebooks, volunteers walked trails at Holliday Lake State Park and Bear Creek Lake State Park approximately every two weeks. When they encountered a wildflower, they identified it, noted its name, trail location, date, growing conditions, and general characteristics in a log. They photographed the wildflower and then took a GPS waypoint to indicate the location of the wildflower. Each waypoint was assigned a unique code based on the plant color and name. For example: BRSKUNK might note Skunk Cabbage (BR for brown and SKUNK for Skunk Cabbage).
The waypoints were subsequently uploaded into a file for each day a walk was made in each park, edited to ensure consistency in coding, and then used to mark locations on maps of trails. Information collected in the log was compiled into a database that can be searched by trail, park, species, bloom color, and several other criteria. The digital photographs were linked to the waypoints by time/date stamps.

Turner and I are excited to start sharing some get to know me posts now. Here is a peek into one of the main characters named "Theo" from our new book titled "Unit 17."
I have tried almost all the doors and am about to give up, thinking Nikki got the count wrong, when I hear a small cry come from behind a vending machine a few feet away near the window that Kay looked in. A small brown-haired girl peeks her head out from behind the machine, her eyes wide. I start toward her and she backs up to the wall, her fingers wrapping around the sill of the window. She couldn't be more than fourteen.
She looks frantically around, her eyes wild with fear.
I lock my eyes on her and speak in a soothing tone. "There is no need to be afraid. I am not going to hurt you."
Her breathing slows and she relaxes a little as my suggestion roots itself inside her brain.
"Good, that's good. Now I'm just going to take you down to—"
I am passing by the vending machine when it topples over and crushes me beneath it, pinning my legs to the floor. I cry out in pain.
A boy a little older than the girl with angry eyes and a sneer emerges from behind the machine and darts towards the girl. He grabs her hand and snaps her out of my suggestion. I reach for my weapon then, but it is trapped between my hip and the machine. They barrel down the hallway, towards the stairwell that Kay has left unguarded.
"Nikki, Kay. There are two children running down the back stairs. Intercept them, now!"
"What?" Kay bellows, agitation clear in her voice.
"You heard me."
My legs are in some serious pain right now, and I'm no Jax. I can't just lift this thing off me like it's nothing. I prop myself up on my elbows and look around. There's a fire extinguisher I could use to get enough leverage to move my legs out but it's attached to the wall where I can't reach it. I'm stuck. And I look like a total idiot. So there's that.
A few minutes later Kay and Nikki come running down the hall.
"Jesus!" Kay says.
"Just get this thing off me," I say, trying to keep the embarrassment out of my voice.
Any insight into what you think this story is going to be about?

Image: Aaron Lohman (@huge_fat_loser) / Instagram
Aaron Lohman, 35, knows the dangers of letting your health and fitness goals sit on the back burner. For years, the 11-year NYPD veteran and father of two let his career call the shots. "I didn't look at getting healthy as a priority," he told MensHealth.com.
It showed. Over the course of nine years, the NYPD officer packed nearly 140 pounds (65kg) onto his six-foot-four (1.93m) frame. At his heaviest, he weighed 425 pounds (190kg).
He tried to lose weight several times, but it never stuck. "I would go and reduce my calorie intake by a ridiculous amount, to like, 1200 calories," Lohman says. Once his diet fizzled out, he would go right back to eating whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted — in spite of several health scares and a family history of diabetes.
(Related: Here's Why Crash Dieting To Lose Weight Fast Is A Bad Idea)
On one occasion, Lohman and his former gang team served a search warrant at a fifth-story walk-up apartment. He was so out of breath from climbing the five flights of stairs, he was actually dizzy. "I thought I was going to die," Lohman says. But still, he brushed it off: "We went out and celebrated afterwards with ice cream and pizza."
His wake-up call finally came one night in December 2015: "I woke up in a cold sweat. I'd just had a nightmare about fighting a criminal on the roof of a building, and I was so out of shape I was overcome and thrown from the building," Lohman recalls. "On the way down, all I could think of was my daughter growing up without me. Even though it was a dream, it got real for me at that point."
That was the day Lohman determined to get serious about his health. But he knew that if he wanted to finally lose the weight for good — and be around to see his kids grow up — he had to use more sustainable approaches than he'd tried in his previous weight-loss attempts. More importantly, he had to make his health a priority.
So, this time around, Lohman decided to go slow and take things one day at a time.
"I definitely struggled at first, especially with overeating," he says. He'd been so accustomed to eating whatever he wanted that he had to learn how to manage mindless snacking and emotional eating. Tracking his meals with MyFitnessPal helped him keep tabs on calories, and with time and practice, he was able to develop healthy habits — like cooking his own food, bringing meals to work, and allowing himself one cheat meal every week.
At the same time, Lohman integrated cardio into his routine. He bought a bicycle and incorporated an eight-mile round-trip ride into his work commute three days per week. Then, after five months of regular cardio and food tracking, he tacked on three days of strength training.
The left is not even close to my biggest. . I had probably already lost close to 50 pounds then. . You'll see at the top of my page it says "community" not "public figure" or "athlete" . That's because as much as this page is about me, you all have a part in it too. . As much as i have helped you, you have all helped me. . I truly believe in doing this together, motivating and inspiring each other to do better and be better. . So this #transformationtuesday pic is for you guys out there. . Thank you. . #weightlossjourney #fatloss #losingweight #fitspo #fitspiration #fitstagram #iam1stphorm #fitcops #fat2fit #weightlosstransformation #fitnessmotivation
Lohman's consistency and hard work have paid off: He's lost a whopping 124 pounds (56kg) of fat since starting his weight-loss journey two years ago. He tracks his progress on his Instagram, where he goes by the tongue-in-cheek handle @huge_fat_loser and has more than 12,000 followers.
Thanks to Lohman's regular lifting sessions, he's packed on pounds of muscle, which he credits to his five-day body part split routine (chest, back, legs, arms, shoulders), plus one to three days of cardio per week. (His cheat day meal? Cheeseburgers from All American, a burger joint on Long Island, NY.)
I started lifting less than 2 years ago with a 25 on each side. . I'm not a power lifter. . I couldn't tell you my max. . But I will tell you my flat bench today was 235×12 (2 sets) Then 245×10 -1 set Then 255 x 8 (video) for 3 sets. . I don't care where you're getting into this from. . I got into this off of the couch with a bag of chips. . If you want this it's yours. . @_unleashed_fit . #chestday #whooooooo #volume #chestday #letsgo #pushyourself #transformationtuesday #benchpress #goals #cantstopme #iam1stphorm #newyorkcity
He keeps nudging the scale along by prioritizing daily exercise and healthy food choices. "I don't give myself a choice, I just do it," he says. When work or family commitments conflict with his workout, he simply shifts the exercise session to his planned rest day.
Whenever he feels his motivation dip, he simply glances at his phone. "My home screen image is a picture of me when I was at my heaviest," Lohman says. "It's just a constant reminder of, 'Yo, do you really want to go back there? Is this the direction you want to take?'" he explains.
To those who don't know how to get started on their own weight-loss journey, Lohman offers this: "What I've learned throughout this whole thing is that it just takes practice. My advice is just to start. The time is never going to be perfect and if you want to do it, you absolutely can."

- Enjoy the nature on the way: Feeling the breeze through your hair, seeing the real scenery is an exotic experience. You can even bring your action camera to record your whole journey.
- Quite adventurous: Warning, this is not really a good thing. If you are an experienced biker who familiar with roads and streets in Vietnam, then it is normal. But if you just want to try something new and fun, please reconsider this because riding a motorbike yourself in a strange country is not that easy.
- Affected by the weather: Unlike car and bus, riding a motorbike means you are exposed to the weather. Even when it's hot or cold, even it's sunny or rainy, you have to feel it all, and it's not really comfortable.

In this buying guide, I am going to tell you about what to look for when buying a hair dryer and which are the best hair dryers in India you can buy right now from the comfort of your home.
Tips for Choosing the Best Hair Dryer for Your Needs
1. Wattage: The higher the wattage of a hair dryer, the more heat it produces and the quicker it will dry your hair. The wattage is an indication of the power of the hair dryer. Although there is no hard and fast rule but usually a hair dryer with wattage between 1300W and 1850W would be sufficient for most hair types.
2. Speed and Heat Settings: The more speed and heat settings a hair dryer has, the more control you have over the airflow that is produced, so you can select the option that suits your need. The higher heat setting is perfect for thick and coarse hair.
Those with thin or fragile hair should opt for lower heat settings. Also if your hair is only damp instead of wet, use the low heat setting to prevent over-drying. The different speed settings come in handy while styling the hair.
3. Ceramic Coating: Ceramic dryers emit non-damaging infrared heat that gives balanced heat distribution. It helps to dry the hair on the inside and the outside as well.
4. Ionic Drying: An ionic dryer breaks down water molecules for faster drying, but also retains moisture in the hair for healthier long-term outcomes. By helping to neutralise positively charged ions in the hair, ionic dryers also condition your hair and reduce frizz.
5. Tourmaline Drying: This type of dryer has a gemstone coating that contains minerals that naturally emit negative ions and infrared heat and make hair shinier. It also enables the hair to endure much higher levels of heat without creating damage.
The best bet is to find a hair dryer that is a combination of each of the above mentioned three types.
6. Weight: A lightweight hair dryer is not only more comfortable to use, it gives you greater flexibility in terms of targeting your whole head evenly. It comes handy while travelling.
7. Attachments: These make a hair dryer more efficient and effective for better hair drying and styling. Following are the two attachments for a hair dryer:
a. Diffuser is great because instead of concentrating the heat in one area, it distributes it very broadly. It diffuses the airflow, gently drying the curls, rather than blowing them out, an ideal hair care accessory. It helps in lifting and separating hair to boost its natural texture.
b. Concentrator directs air from the dryer to a targeted space, useful for better control if you like to blow dry your hair straight using a brush. People with long hair are able to benefit from a concentrator attachment to reach all their hair and direct the heat more accurately and efficiently.
9. Foldable Handle: This feature helps in making the hair dryer portable so that it can be taken while travelling.
10. Dual Voltage: A hair dryer having dual voltage can be used while you are abroad in a foreign country. Different countries use different voltages. While the voltage in India is 220 Volts, it's 110 Volts in USA.

Introduction Elegant Themes Com
If you're looking for a new WordPress theme, one name you'll almost certainly come across is Elegant Themes. With a huge portfolio of appealing themes, a selection of powerful plugins, and an active user community, Elegant Themes is among the biggest names in the WordPress ecosystem.On paper, Elegant Themes certainly deserve a place in your own shortlist when it comes to plugins and theme shopping. But are their products the right choice for your website? In the event you sign up with this WordPress mainstay or keep your search? By the end of the article, you'll hopefully have all you want to make a well-thought-out, informed decision.Let's get started. Elegant Themes Com
Elegant Themes have been in operation for eight decades, and have served over 500,000 clients to date. In the process, they have grown into a workforce of over 50 workers working in many nations — a far cry from their humble beginnings working out of creator Nick Roach's school apartment.Elegant Themes currently offer 87 WordPress themes and five plugins. Access to all their topics (including their flagship'Divi' theme — more on this below) and plugins will probably set you back $89 annually , which makes them very competitively priced. If you're considering using their products for many decades, however, it's actually their slightly pricier'Lifetime Accessibility' plan that's the best value option, giving you access to all existing and future products to get a one-time fee of $249. But is lively Themes the right selection for your job? Let us find out.
WordPress Themes
Let's start with a look at the several topics on offer, before continuing on to this plugins.As mentioned, signing up for Elegant Themes gives you access to 87 WordPress topics for the price of everything you could pay for only 1 motif elsewhere. But, there are really only two options to take into account. Since the arrival of Divi at 2013, the focus of Elegant Themes was around making this the only best WordPress theme available. Extra followed soon after, and together they've come to be the highlights of the Elegant Themes portfolio.
Divi is Elegant's flagship theme, and is truly multipurpose, with the capacity to make just about any type of website.From blogs and business homepages to ecommerce stores and everything in between, Divi is undoubtedly a versatile website building tool.It's also excellent for new WordPress users looking to make custom sites without ever having to look at a single line of code. However, this powerful subject has also become a popular choice with specialist web designers searching for a tool to make building sites for their customers more efficient.Some of those reasons inexperienced and experienced web designers alike select Divi are its own useful pair of high-quality templates and the highly effective drag-and-drop page builder tool. Loading up among the Divi layouts provides you with a fast way to start your website, as well as the new-and-improved Divi Builder may be used to customize these layouts through an intuitive front-end drag-and-drop interface. Creating your custom designs from scratch isn't a issue either with Divi.No matter what your ability level, Divi does a fantastic job of democratizing internet design. Those new to WordPress can utilize the Divi layouts, combined with the builder's point-and-click port to make custom webpage layouts. More seasoned designers can do what they have always done, only much faster.Another feature of this theme that's well worth mentioning is the Divi Leads tool. Divi Leads enables you to conduct split testing experiments on your site's design and content.

Should you need to create websites that convert against their aims –whether for yourself or for your clients — Divi Leads will be a priceless addition to your toolkit.The only real drawback to Divi compared with Avada and the other best-selling multipurpose themes is the absence of complete website demos. Divi may supply you with a library of templates for the individual pages of your site, however, unlike Avada or Enfold, there is no more straightforward importer tool which will populate an entire website with demo content.New layouts and templates for Divi are being made available all the time via the Elegant Themes blog. Accordingly, despite not being able to import an entire website into your WordPress setup, you won't be needing new layouts for your website's pages.Overall, Divi is a great selection for creatives who would prefer to build a custom WordPress site irrespective of their technical abilities.

They have definitely done a fantastic job, and Extra is an aggressive theme that any blogger or magazine-style website operator should think about. Elegant Themes Com
While Divi, and, to a lesser extent, Extra, are multipurpose topics which may be used to make any type of site, the other topics are somewhat more focused on a specific type of project. |} It's possible you may find a motif from that the Elegant Themes back catalogue that is ideal for your website. However, if you really want to take advantage of what Elegant Themes must offer and has been working on for the past couple of years, you should only consider the Divi and Extra topics out of their collection.While signing up with Elegant Themes gets you access to Divi, among the best WordPress themes around, along with the impressive additional magazine theme, do not get too excited about another 85 alternatives. However, as we will see in the next section of this Elegant Themes review, there are far more reasons to choose this company than just their flagship WordPress topics.
The Elegant Themes WordPress Plugins
As mentioned earlier in this review, the group supporting Divi and Extra also have produced a number of high-quality WordPress plugins. By linking Elegant Themes on either the mid-level $89 Developer plan or the top grade $249 Lifetime accessibility plan, you gain access to every one of these plugins.
Let's take a look.
The Divi Builder plugin is based on the webpage builder tool that is incorporated in the Divi and Extra topics. |} The Divi Builder that's found in the most recent edition of the Divi and Extra topics includes a back-end user interface. But, this upgrade hasn't been implemented to the Divi Builder plugin yet (it'll be added later on ). As this is a standalone plug, you may take advantage of this version of this Divi Builder using any WordPress theme.The Divi Builder plugin may nevertheless be used to create custom page layouts, albeit through a backend builder interface. Any of the 46 customizable content modules could be added into your layouts, with the capability to drag and drop them to position.Other useful attributes of this Divi Builder plugin have the capacity to rapidly duplicate any page component, copying and pasting inside the builder, unlimited undos and redos, and a simple method to add custom CSS for your pages.The Divi Builder plugin making it effortless to save any layout, section, or module into your own library for reuse elsewhere on your website. If you upgrade any of these library products, you can selectively apply those changes to each instance of the thing throughout your site.Even if you are not using a theme from Elegant Themes, you need to have the ability to use Divi Builder to customize your WordPress site. Consequently, if you would rather use a minimal motif (such as those made by StudioPress instead of Divi) but you still want the capability to make customized designs for your articles, then the Divi Builder plugin may be a fantastic choice.Divi Builder contrasts favorably to the other drag-and-drop page builder plugins for WordPress. But until the live front-end editor is added into the plugin, there are more user friendly WordPress site builder plugins out there. Elegant Themes Com

Elegant Themes Support
Some years ago, Elegant Themes had a bit of a reputation for delivering less-than-stellar support to their clients. After looking into this and being a happy customer for a while now, I'm very happy to report that Elegant Themes appear to have solved any issues there might have been.Their flagship products are often updated and improved, and the online documentation to their themes and plugins is extensive, such as walkthrough text and videos. Those with an active Elegant Topics account can open a service ticket by posting a question in the support forums.In addition to a General Questions sub-forum, each Elegant Themes merchandise has its own active sub-forum. The Elegant Themes support forums are staffed by a group of tech support representatives, who, in my experience, react to queries quickly and helpfully.
Divi is undoubtedly one of the best and most common multi-purpose WordPress topics around. As you can purchase Divi and Extra, together with 85 (admittedly increasingly outdated) other themes for just $89 (along with a handful of very helpful plugins), signing up with Elegant Themes represents great value for money.The upgraded Divi Builder that is a core component of the Divi motif is also one of the finest WordPress page builders available today. Everyone, from those new to creating websites to seasoned web designers, may benefit from the ability of the Divi Builder.However, Divi, Extra, and Tasteful Themes are not for Everybody. As they're such elastic topics, there's a lot of creative freedom, which might be overwhelming — especially in the event that you don't have a very clear vision for your site. The library of page templates has been created to a high quality, but there are not any comprehensive website demos which you could import to your website in only a couple of clicks.If you'd rather have a theme built for a particular focus, like a business website or an internet portfolio perhaps, you may actually be better off looking at themes offered by a number of the other, more focused theme shops.But if you're looking for a WordPress theme which can be used to create any type of website, subsequently Divi and Extra and their innumerable customization tools and preferences are hard to beat. Throw in the remaining advantages of signing up with Elegant Themes and you should have everything you need to make your WordPress site a success. Elegant Themes Com

What is the definition of business communication? Business Communication: communication used to promote a product, service, or organization. Business communication is nothing but, the communication between the people in the organization for the purpose of carrying out the business activities. It may be oral, verbal, written. Why Is Communication Important in a Business? Good communication matters because business organizations are made up of people. As Robert Kent, former dean of Harvard Business School has said, In business, communication is everything.
Communication is important in a business because it conveys messages from one person to another or from one department to another. It also contributes to employee commitment and job satisfaction. Businesses with effective communication between employees have high job satisfaction among employees. ...view middle of the document...
It's called Grapevine because like that of a grape vine it's impossible to find the origin of information which results in spread of rumors. Three main characteristics: First, it is not controlled by management. Second, it is perceived by most employees as being more believable and reliable than formal communication issued by top management. Third, it is largely used to serve the interest of the people within it. Features of Grapevine Communication Flexibility: There is no formal control over grapevine, so it is more flexible than other forms of communication. Rapid communication: It is faster than any form of communication. No record: There is no evidence which can be documented for future reference.
Distortion: The message which is passed gets distorted when it passes from one person to another. Spontaneous: Grapevine communication is spontaneous as it is passed automatically from the top level of the organization to the bottom level without any difficulty in delivering the message. Grapevine is used by management to spread the information that either can not be shared officially or want to test the waters. Grapevine communication factor ???
What Is Perception? The process by which individuals organize and interpret their impressions in order to give meaning to their environment. Why Is It Important? Because people's behaviour is based on their perception of what reality is, not on reality itself? The world as it is perceived is the world that is behaviourally important. The Communication Process Seven parts: the communication source (Sender) encoding the message the channel
decoding the receiver feedback
Encoding: The conversion of a message into some symbolic form Message: A purpose to be conveyed Channel: The medium by which a message travels Decoding: A receiver's translation of a sender's message Feedback: The degree to which carrying out the work activities require by a job results in the individual's obtaining direct and clear information about the effectiveness of his her performance

I lied for 26 straight years, about everything. I justified all of my actions by thinking, "at least it isn't ____". I told myself I was in control, that drinking wasn't my problem, I wasn't scared, and that I didn't care what anyone thought. And I truly believed it.
When it all came crashing down in 2014, I had no choice but to be honest. I had to ask for help, and I knew no one could help me if I didn't admit everything I had buried in the depths of my soul. My secrets, my resentments, my selfishness, my pride, my ego, my fears, all of it. So I became an open book.
If you want your life to change, if you're struggling with something, or you want to help others but don't know how...honesty is the best place to start. Sure, it's uncomfortable and makes you vulnerable, but it helps others. And in return, it helps you get rid of all that heavy stuff you've carried by yourself for so long.
You are not the only one feeling what you're feeling. It's important to talk about it, because someone out there needs to know they're not alone. Life is about love, and love begins with honesty.

Facebook Grant Award
Beware of any FB messages in your inbox that state you won a cash prize as part of the Facebook Grant Award. The electronic message instructs users to collect their prize by clicking on the provided link, which directs them to a fake website that tricks them into sending money and providing personal information to hackers. Reference the image above. Use your smarts. If Mark Zuckerberg and crew announced a Grant Award, wouldn't you have heard about it on a credible news site? Exactly.

A business plan helps you figure out where your company is going, how it will overcome any potential difficulties and what you need to sustain it. A full guide to writing your plan can be found here, and when you're ready to put pen to paper, these free templates can help.
All of these are excellent ideas, and really go to show that you don't need some groundbreaking new idea to start a business. Just pick one of these ideas that appeals to you and put yourself out there, and you're already ahead of all the other people who are still in the "thinking about starting a business" phase (a phase that never ends for most people).
Spend time developing an excellent social media presence. This can be done well before the business is ready, increasing anticipation. Use Facebook, Google+ and Twitter, and any other social media you participate in to build excitement and spread the word. You want to build a buzz so that people will begin following your progress. (Be sure to choose business accounts for your business and keep your personal accounts separate. The messages you send should be tailored differently, depending on which account you're sending from.)
From there, you need to learn which tools, resources, and feedback communities you can use to accelerate the pace at which you're able to launch. Check out these 101 essential tools and resources I use to launch profitable side hustle businesses.
Remember my earlier post about breakfast burritos? Making meals in advance is a great way to save money for yourself – but you can often prepare these for others as well and sell them for a markup. Prepare eight casseroles, for example, then sell six of them to cover your costs, and you've got two free dinners for your family (and maybe a bit more). You can grow this by taking orders from others and finding out what they like.
To avoid any confusion, I want to make it clear first that virtual assistant work is not always non-phone, but it can be. Virtual assistants tend to do a little bit of everything, just depending on their skills/expertise. So if you are good at various non-phone tasks (social media marketing/moderation, writing, graphic design, research etc.), then you may be able to do work for some of the companies below putting those non-phone skills to work. I also want to make clear that even when you do phone work as a virtual assistant, lots of times it can be arranged so you're making the calls during times of day when it's convenient for you.
Come to Canada!! I live in a very touristy small town called Springhill Nova Scotia Canada. It was a mining town and there are 2 museums and we have the Anne Murray centre, which is a museum for Anne Murray because she is from Springhill. We need coffee shops, burger joints, bistro's etc. The sky is the limit. Contact me back at firstname.lastname@example.com if you want to chat more about it. PS. I have a daughter living in Germany.
People who own fish, lizards, snakes or any other animals that live in tanks or aquariums are likely to need some maintenance services at some point. If that's the type of work you enjoy, you can provide those services in people's homes or place of business.
Pink Zebra – When I found Pink Zebra I remember thinking, "Whoever thought of this company is pure genius. There is not a woman in the world that would not LOVE this product!" I was working long hours in the school system, and I had no direct sales background and wondered if Pink Zebra was something I could do. I started my own business for only $99! I was able to quit my job in two months, and I am now an Executive Manager and have seen a raise every month since! We love our team, the opportunity to work together, helping others, mentoring, and sharing Pink Zebra! We have seen so much growth with this company, and we cannot be more excited for the future!
Share in the comments if I'm missing any of your picks for the best side business ideas that you can start while working full-time! Bonus points if you've already gotten started on one of these business idea, and share the link to your website.
There are many ways to gain a competitive edge over other businesses in your industry: you could have a better product, a more efficient manufacturing or distribution process, a more convenient location, better customer service, or a better understanding of the changing marketplace.
Ask the bank if you will need to present certain documentation to open the account, such as your certificate of formation or business license. Banks in Texas may vary in terms of what they require for opening an account.
Any business that does not require a storefront would be suitable for a home business. That is, any type of professional service, small-scale manufacturing, or something like that would be great. However, a restaurant or auto-parts store would not make a good home business.
There are aspects of your business that you can always salvage if you try a different product or approach. The brand you invest time into creating and the followers you amass on social media or in your email list can be assets you repurpose for your next business idea.
Resource Recommendation: Since this step can have such serious repercussions if it's not done correctly, we highly recommend investing a few minutes to read through our business structure comparison guide before deciding on one. Then, when it comes time to officially form your business, you can either do so on your own or use an online incorporation service. Take a look at our top 7 incorporation services for an in-depth discussion of our favorite providers!
If you have a fondness for taking pictures of smiling families or laughing children blowing bubbles, consider becoming a stock photographer and selling your images to a stock photo company like Unsplash, ShutterStock and iStockPhoto as a side business idea. You'll get royalties every time someone licenses an image you've submitted. To really be successful, build your own photography website to be able to showcase your portfolio and start getting higher-paid private corporate work.
If you are thinking of becoming a property tycoon but can't swing the down payment on your first property, this is a good business to start in. It's good steady income and you get to learn the ins and outs of owning property. You also may come across multi-family properties that are for sale before they get advertised.
Tutor.com is a company that offers tutoring services 24 hours a day, seven days a week. To become an at-home tutor, you must fill out an application and pass an extensive screening process. Tutors can work anywhere from 5 to 30 hours per week. Offers competitive pay rates.
Substantively contribute to refining Spotlight's Communications Strategy and 2018 Plan, including email and newsletter communications, social media, website and blog content, and media alerts, press releases and other outreach materials. Contract.
Review the budget you created to determine how much money you need to launch and operate your business until you are profitable. Calculate how much personal money and credit you have available and how much money you'll need to raise from other sources. Decide how much of your company you are willing to give up in exchange for money from an investor. Contact your local bank to find out how to apply for a small-business loan or credit card.
Nothing beats teaching more novice learners about your passion, hobby, or craft as a business idea (that's a common theme here). Explore dozens of DIY portals (such as DIY.org, DIY Network, Instructables and Mahalo) to get business ideas on how to earn a healthy side income just by showing others how to do the things you love. You can also sift through the countless ad-supported YouTube channels that teach just about anything from guitar strumming to 3D printing.
Everyone wants to feel special now and then. If you can create the right setting, you could make your customers feel great and be happy to pay top dollar for a sophisticated beverage! Get everything just so–the name, the furniture, the wall coverings, servers' attire, the lighting, and the background music. If you get all the details right, this could be a really fun and highly profitable endeavor.
Are you the one all your friends call when their sink is clogged or their roof is leaking? Are you looking to start your own business but not thrilled about having a brick-and-mortar location? A home improvement business might be just the small town business idea you're looking for. When small towns lack a basic handyman, residents must book appointments days, if not weeks in advance to have a larger service visit their home. That's not so convenient if your toilet has been clogged for three days. As long as you are qualified, have the experience, and know your way around a tool shed, starting a handyman business is fairly straightforward and requires little overhead.
One of our strongest selling books at my book publishing company was "Kiss, Bow or Shake Hands?" Traveling business people and others want to know how to fit in with foreign cultures. With a little bit a research or overseas exposure you could offer basic courses and consulting, and then you could provide more in-depth expertise as you build your knowledge overtime.
Busy people could often use some help with their day-to-day tasks. Starting an errand service means you can charge people to take care of things like grocery shopping, dry cleaning and other odd jobs.

Oreo Frosting is a homemade vanilla buttercream with crushed Oreos incorporated into the frosting. Oreo Frosting taste just like a Cookies and Cream Shake! This is perfect to frost a cake, cupcakes, brownies.. you name it, this frosting is perfect for it!
Oreo Frosting AKA Cookies and Cream Frosting
I wasn't a huge Oreo fan until I got married. Cookies and Cream anything (or blue raspberry!) will make my husband a happy camper. Ice cream, shakes, the candy bar.. you name it, he LOVES it.
As I was brainstorming one day about a cake I needed to take to a fundraiser auction, a fully loaded Oreo cake came to my mind.
What is an Oreo cake without a Cookies and Cream Frosting though?
So I whipped out my secret stash of Oreos and went to work. ?
How to Make Oreo Frosting
Oreo Frosting can be whipped together in no time! The base of this frosting is made from my basic vanilla buttercream, AKA the buttercream I always frost everything (especially my sugar cookies) with.
Let's start with the Oreos. (I mean, it would just be rude not to start with them, right?)
If you are wanting to be able to have a smooth frosting, that you can get a seamless finish or to pipe with, you will want Oreo crumbs. Put those puppies in the blender or food processor and go until you have almost an Oreo powder.
I personally like mine a little chunky. I throw mine in the blender and pulse it until I have mostly crushed Oreos with a few larger pieces. This is great for a rustic looking frosting. No stress, no fuss- my kind of frosting!
Butter, powdered sugar, milk, vanilla and the crushed Oreos are whipped together using either a stand mixer or a hand mixer.
It really is as easy as measuring everything, turning the stand mixer on and walking away for a few minutes. You'll come back to the most delicious, spoonful-worthy frosting you've ever made.
Oreo Frosting
(Printable Recipe Below)
Oreo Frosting is a homemade vanilla buttercream with crushed Oreos incorporated into the frosting. Oreo Frosting taste just like a Cookies and Cream Shake! This is perfect to frost a cake, cupcakes, brownies.. you name it, this frosting is perfect for it!
- 1/2 cup butter room temperature
- 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 3 tbsp milk
- 15 oreos crushed
- Crush the Oreos in a blender or food processor. See above for more info on the consistency of the Oreos.
- Place all of the ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Using the paddle attachment, mix all ingredients together.
- Let the mixer whip the buttercream for approx 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
- This will keep in an air tight container at room temperature for 2 days or in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Recipe Notes
I like to use Clear Vanilla Extract so my frosting doesn't take on a brown hue.
Try this Oreo Frosting out with these other recipes!
