On Lisa Robertson's XEclogue
[The following diary of reading was originally written for Joel Kuszai for a planned "Canada" issue of his now defunct newsletter The Rusty Word. It was subsequently submitted to a West Coast journal that never wrote back. Mentioned in passing to Nada Gordon, it belatedly came to Gary Sullivans attention¾ wherefore its present appearance in Readme, justified, perhaps, by a lamentable lack of published comment on XEclogue, one of the very best books of poetry published in North America in the previous decade.B.F.]
A comment made by Adriaan Peperzak at last years annual Comp Lit conference sticks with me and comes to mind while trying to write about Lisa Robertsons XEclogue. Peperzak is a conventional, even stodgy philosopher in his 70s who has written on Plato, Hegel, Heidegger and Levinas. During the question and answer period he shows a surprising and inspiring passion. Provoked, I think, by his earlier confession of religious faith, he disburdens himself of one after another admonishing opinionlaughing out loud at his own audacity. Finally, asked about "the question of language," he immediately says, as if waiting for a chance, "Heidegger called language the house of Being. Well, everything is the house of Being, but its given to our epoch to frame everything in terms of language, so Heidegger calls language the House. And we repeat this formula devoutly. But were no closer to understanding either language or Being when we do so." For poets too "the question of language" is fundamental. A nagging doubt nonetheless remains: are poems written in answer to this question equally fundamental? I mean, are they any more fundamental than any other kind of poem? Im not so sure. Our "language poets" (and I mean by this something more general than L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E Writing) compose wonderful work, but the wonder of it is often superficial. Still, its a piety of our time that only those poets who address this "question of language" are worth reading. Those who turn their attention to other questionshowever fundamental, however profound the answerscome to seem naive. Old fashioned. Hung up on content. Marginal to a fault.
* * *
Rereading Michael Palmer this summer, I came again on his diary entry about receiving the first copies of Notes for Echo Lake"dismay, then sorrow, upon realizing that it was only a book." Yes, this is how it feels, even when youre only the reader. Lisas book has been a rumor for two years, but based on what Ive heard I almost feel as though Ive read it. Now Joel returns from Vancouver and lends me an actual copy. Leafing through I feelwhat? Dismay? Sorrow? Not at all, but maybe a book is more exciting, more useful, as a rumor than as a fact. Maybe thats why I never tried to order a copy. Maybesad prospectrumors are more inspiring than poems.
* * *
I think of Lisas "Manifesto" modeis this a way of staving off dismay and sorrow? A way of pretending that a book isnt just a book? Talking to Joel, I said her insistence on that mode gets boring, the tone begins to annoythe whole "Giantess" trip. "She couldnt possibly mean it, could she? Its so corny, so Cabaret Voltaire, so . . . I dont know . . . so 1970s." Later I wonder if Im not just jealous. She is so good at writing that way. At the top of her voice, as Mayakovsky would say. And why not? She wants to be heard. Deservedly.
* * *
Later still I read "Eclogue Three: Liberty" over and over again. I try to gauge my response as honestly as possible. I decide that the constant recourse to assertion, effective in the short run for maintaining interest in the argument, wears attention away in the long run. Case in point: "What is this thought that refuses to reverse itself, that in the cool shade of fantasy creates an institution?" A useful question, oddly put. Then comes, in quick succession, the grating, the overweening, the gratuitous, the silly"my kilted wit," "my perfect barbarity," "the death of method," "Utopia is dead," "prim sublimity," "I flaunt her." And then, right at the end, played like a trump card, one perfect, purple twist of prose: "Shes lying in the pagan flowers, sweet-faced in the pompous velvet, swathed in the crude luxury of my rhetoric, strewn with the petals of aptly faded hope." Not an answer but an antidote to her question, administered just in time.
At the beginning of summer I thought about writing an essay on three first books that use the seashore as their organizing themeH.D.s Sea Garden, Rachel Carsons Under the Sea-Wind, Pat Reeds Sea Asleep. Alas, the essay went nowhere and I moved on to other projects. Still, a seed was planted: an alternative history of the centurys writing focused on the question of nature rather than language. Putting Carson in Heideggers place, or Wittgensteins, as the central thinker of our central problem. This is no mere hyperbole. However indebted Pat may be to H.D.s mythopoetic imagism, the additional complication of ecofeminism remains determining. I found it hard, however, to sustain much interest in this alternate history, myself (it seems) more interested in language than nature. Still, there are important links between the two topics, poets for whom nature and language are not such separate issues: Paul Celan, Ronald Johnson, Robert Grenier, Jean Day, Maggie OSullivanand now Lisa.
* * *
A poetics of the seashore redefines marginalityplaces the margin at the center of two worlds (water and land)not at the outer limit of a single world. A shoreline for thought, a shifting threshold between the known and unknown. Piombinos phrase comes to mind"the boundary of blur." And is it any wonder that three women should identify their earliest writings with this boundary? "Whiter / than the crust / left by the tide, / we are stung by the hurled sand / and the broken shells" (H.D.). "The tide was ebbing fast, surging through the gutter and running out to sea. As the suns rays broke through the clouds in the east and sped across the sound, Rynchops turned to follow the racing water seaward" (Carson). "Danger-cold / of the water / grips my head // torn / hands / pulling back / to the / level / of the rest of / the sea" (Pat). And as I think more and more about these seashore poetics, I wonder if maybe nature has not become something of a repressed question. Granting, of course, that the word "nature" is simply impossible: unsusceptible of definition, it includes man and woman in its purview and so excludes nothing man and woman have ever thought or done.
* * *
Lisas interest in pastoral reminds me of Ronald Johnson, his thickly textual sense of flora and fauna, birdsong and starlight. However incompatible in the end, moment by moment their views are strangely similar. Thus, in XEclogue, nature is a product of culture ("a landscape overwritten with vast, exhausted melancholy, quenched in mauvish tasselled wind"), while in Ark, culture is a product of nature ("Sound is sea: pattern lapping pattern. If we erase the air and slow the sound of a struck tuning fork in it, it would make two sets of waves interlocking the invisibility in opposite directions"). Then again, Lisa writes: "A birds breath is in my throat. It sucks the slim light and unties the couplets"a very Johnsonesque thought. Then too, both Ark and XEclogue are limned with quotes from Gertrude Stein. On the back of Lisas book:
Nature is not natural, and that is
natural enough.
And as one of the two epigraphs to Ark:
anything shut in with you can sing
The two quotes arent contradictory, but betray a shifted emphasis. One celebrates the unnatural; the other, celebration itself, singability. In both, however, the traditional priority of nature over culture is abandoned. So far as human beings are concerned, culture comes first. That is, the un-naturalthe cultivated, the "shut in with"is whats really natural. Can I sing what is not "shut in with"? This isnt even a question; "shut in with" is the root condition of the I.
* * *
Ontology is the luxury of the landed. Lets pretend you had a land. Then you lost it. Now fondly describe it. That is pastoral. Consider your homeland, like all utopias, obsolete. Your pining rhetoric points to obsolescence.
This does and doesnt remind me of Levinas, of his disparagement of ontology, which follows from a scorching critique of Heidegger. Hed certainly agree with the first sentence, "Ontology is the luxury of the landed." At the same time, the emphasis he consequently gives to homelessness would make the harshness of the rest of this passage indefensible. Why so tough on the exiled? Thinking about it more carefully, I see that the first line appeals to me because it is Levinasian. The rest of the passage points the argument in a different direction. And wouldnt the whole thing make more sense if Lisa had written, "Ontology is the pining rhetoric of the once landed"? I stop and reread. OK. She opposes pastoral to ontology. The formers for the homeless, the latter for the landed. But both are defined dismissively. On one hand, if ontology is a luxury, then the question of Being isnt a necessityis a pastime for the idle rich. On the other hand, calling pastoral a pining rhetoric means telling the homeless something like "get over it." This is an aspect of Lisas book I dont understand. Is she satirizing the pastoral form, or trying to renew it? Is she radicalizing or rejecting outright the traditional equation between woman and nature? The book gives mixed signals. Anyway, shes dead on about one thing: Heideggers luxury. Unlike Levinas, the old Deustcher always had his little hut and stretch of forest to return towhich is just what he did when Utopia went belly up, in 1945.
Talking about her interest in pastoral, Lisa says (in A Poetics of Criticism):
Certainly, as a fin de siecle feminist, I cannot in good conscience perform even the simplest political identification with the pastoral genre
And also:
We must become historys dystopic ghosts, inserting our inconsistencies, demands, misinterpretations, and weedy appetites into the old bolstering narratives
And also:
My intention is to slip into the narrative as a hybrid ghost and steal the solipsists monocle as he sleeps and dreams of the rational future.
Evocative statements. But I find it hard to believe that Lisas sole interest in pastoral is corruption, that XEclogue is first and foremost a bad dream visited on the sleeping solipsists of our patriarchic culture. For one thing, pastoral is no longer our cultures dominant mode. For another, Lisas powers of generation seems so much more fine than her powers of corruption. Her appropriation of the pastoral genre just doesnt seem dystopic to me; if she no longer dreams of a perfect future (and who does?), neither is her future a frightening catastrophe, a pure inversion of the rational. What then is her project really about? The key, to my mind, lies in Lisas wonderful phrase "weedy appetites." Taxonomically speaking, there is no such thing as a weed; a weed is simply an unwanted plant. Many are beautiful, edible, evenecologically speakingessential. They grow without tending and maintain the power, if left alone, to transform a landscape, irrevocably. Likewise Lisas desires as a writer, her "appetites," unsought by the discourse she would enter"weedy" only from the point of view of the sleeping gardeners whose notions of useful and useless are questionable at best.
* * *
Lisa ends XEclogue by citing Edith Sitwell"my constant companion." A curious coincidence. I found "dark ages clasp the daisy root" in Sitwells Book of Flowersa line from Finnegans Wake which Andrew Schelling and I took as the name of our second magazine. Later, Tom Mandel accused us of cultivating a fascist nostalgia for the earth. But I suspect he might have been upset because we didnt ask him for work.
* * *
Much of XEclogue is attributed to personae"Lady M," "Nancy," the "Roaring Boys"and much of the rest is derived from sources Ive never read, veilings which make quotation hazardous. Lady M in "Eclogue Nine: History" defends this veiling eloquently, and rightfully so:
They wished for lips of red thread like so many spies; they received, through the veil of expression, a heart moved only by etiquette. They wished to experience thought as we would be compelled to remember it; it became a languid impossibility.
A book of languid impossibility. In any case, a complexity that befuddles the mind desirous of straightforward mouthings.
* * *
The fecundity of this books odd lyrics is astonishing:
Im loquacious or raucous, swanning for the fun of it
But Id sooner tear the subtle moss from under poplars
Than he should put a note of love into her golden mouth:
Ill nudge the queer sorrow her barbarity merits.
The endnote nudges us to consider this quatrain a mistranslation by the "roaring boys" of "the anonymous Latin of the Pervigilium Veneris." But who are the roaring boys? (Is that a Burroughs thing?) And what is it thats mis- in this translation? No doubt Im losing quite a bit by not knowing, but the lines are wonderfully suggestive anyway. And what they suggest, among other things, is a series of choices with regard to XEclogue as a whole: write my own book ("swanning for the fun of it"); appreciate this one, however difficult ("the queer sorrow her barbarity merits"); or commit the violence of interpretation ("tear the subtle moss from under poplars").
I cant imagine how to conclude this little diary of my reading, but need to; that is, I need to return the book to Joel, who wants to read it himself. I spend an hour looking for a quotea defining momentand give up. Settle for these three archetypes of our present epoch:
Roaring Boy #1 is skinny and pure as the bitter white heel of a petal . . . . Yet a feeling of being followed has taken his will away . . . .
Roaring Boy #2, boy with the volute heart of a girl, names the faithless tone of an abandoned guess exactitude . . . .
Roaring Boy #3, rather than submitting to the trial of action, wants deeply to possess an opinion, then having possessed, to distribute it with maximum efficiency . . . .
A cruel but accurate caricature of three types of reader, and an accurate picture too, I think, of three faces of Lisas book. The inexactitude of the target is typical, a quality which blunts XEclogues impact as a reasoned polemic while reasserting the books more anarchic appeal as poetry. Somehow, this give and take between poetry and polemic seems central to Lisas deeper intentions as a writer. A tug of war between aesthetics and politics, nature and culture, in which neither side cedes ground to the other. A useful, if precarious, equilibrium.

The annual Consumer Electronics Show always provides a preview of the great new gadgets, consumer devices and entertainment systems from big screen televisions to mobile phones. However, this year, the larger trends behind the shiny new objects were also the talk of the show floor.
In the December 6, 2011 Forbes.com, I predicted that the following ten technologies would set the pace for 2012:
1. Tablets
2. Interfaces
3. Social
4. Internet of Things (IoT)
5. Apps
6. Big Data
7. Analytics
8. Storage
9. Entertainment Everywhere
10. Cloud Computing
And, of course, mobile as the overarching technology that drives everything.
Walking the show floor at CES this week, I saw evidence of these trends in everything from the gazillions of apps and examples of social interaction on display in nearly every booth to the panel conversations around infrastructure and standards requirements connecting these devices to each other and into our lives. The buzz of the show may have been the about tablets, ultrabooks, OLED TVs and mobile phones -- the coveted toys you could see all over the massive convention -- but if you listened to the micro-phoned booth presenters, you heard the big story. They were all talking about how their various products deliver the "connected life." The technologies that will drive "connected life" are sensors, memes, chips, data storage, management and analytics, and of course cloud computing and software applications. For me, this CES is not just a preview of next December's holiday list of must have gadgets, but the story of how technology will continue to change the way we work and live.
Join me for my video tour of CES 2012 as I scout for the big technology trends behind the products:

I was raised among the redwoods in the far north of California. We lived in a standard tract home from the 50s/60s, but looking out my bedroom window, my view was of the trunks and branches of redwood trees. My sister and I created playhouses in the stumps below our home. We grew up knowing the soft but rough bark of the trees, and the freedom of running through the forest.
And then we grew up and moved away.
Yesterday I was still far from home, but ensconced beneath another grove of redwoods on the San Mateo coast. The breakfast fire burned down to embers; Reil did the dishes. We took a walk down the road and up a trail to find a geocache – a wonderful, fun cache that was suspended from a tree. Jill and I hiked up and around the hills, through redwood forest, noting the changes in the ecosystems as we passed through.
It was good to be on the trail. I need the prep for going up hills – September's climb into the Rockies will be here very soon.
And before dinner, I took a quick drive down to the ocean. To watch and hear the waves crash on the rocks, feel the setting sun and the cool breeze on my face. To marvel at the legion of wild flowers along the highway – all yellow and orange this week. Lupine, poppies, other blooms whose names I've either forgotten or never knew.
This wasn't quite home, but it felt like it. And all of the stimuli for my senses – the shady groves, steep hills, pounding surf – served to drive away some of the melancholy I've been experiencing. The sadness still remains, but for a short period it had to take a back seat to a little bit of joy.

Stay in Your Lane: Neville's Senate Bill 204 Passes Finance Committee
DENVER – In an effort to require legislative approval for any expansion or modification of Regional Transit District's (RTD) ridership incentive programs, Senator Tim Neville's (R-Littleton) Senate Bill 204 passed the Finance Committee today. It passed on a 3 to 2, party-line vote.
The bill requires legislative approval before RTD can expend more tax dollars towards discounting tickets for riding on buses and light rail. This oversight will ensure that RTD takes account of where money is being pulled from in order to incentivize ridership and allows elected members of the General Assembly the opportunity to ask questions regarding the programs' viability and execution.
"We have seen in the past that certain changes impact other riders alongside the taxpayers," said Senator Neville. "I believe it is within the purview of the legislature to request that those ideas are brought to the legislature before they are implemented."
Senate Bill 204 now moves to the floor for consideration.

Quake kills 45, injures 80 in southwest Pakistan
Islamabad/Karachi: Forty-five people were killed and about 80 injured when a 7.7-magnitude earthquake hit southwestern Pakistan on Tuesday, with officials saying more persons could be buried under the rubble of collapsed homes.
At least 45 people were killed in Awaran district, located near the quake's epicentre in Balochistan province, said Brig Wajid Akhtar of the Earthquake Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Authority (ERRA).
About 80 injured people, including women and children, were brought to the Civil Hospital in Khuzdar, a spokesman for the Balochistan government said. Reports of deaths had been received from Awaran and Turbat districts, he said.
Hundreds of mud-brick houses collapsed or were damaged in Awaran and Khuzdar areas, officials said.
Six bodies were found in Awaran bazar and four more in far flung villages of the district, said Deputy Commissioner Abdul Rasheed Baloch. "I fear more people are trapped inside collapsed houses," he said.
Ghulam Baloch, an administration official from Khuzdar, said, "Houses and shops have collapsed and the casualties could increase." Houses were also damaged in Pasni and Windar but details were awaited from these areas, Baloch said.
The army despatched 300 soldiers, rescue and medical teams and a helicopter to the worst-hit areas. Chief Minister Abdul Malik said an emergency had been declared in Awaran, seven to eight hours' drive from Quetta, the provincial capital.
Both US Geological Survey (USGS) and Pakistan's meteorological office gave the magnitude as 7.7 on the Richter Scale. USGS said five aftershocks measuring between 4.7 and 5.9 were recorded after the quake.
The quake, with its epicentre 69 km from Awaran, struck at 4.29 pm Pakistani time at a depth of 23 kilometres.
Tremors were felt in Karachi, Hyderabad, Larkana and other towns and cities of Sindh province. Reports said the quake was also felt as far away as Lahore, Rawalpindi and Islamabad.
The tremors that lasted almost a minute caused widespread panic. People rushed out of their offices and homes in Karachi, the country's largest city, and other parts of Sindh and Balochistan provinces.

This Husky Is Internet Famous, and Its Easy to See Why
When a Reddit user uploaded the picture below of their husky, they never imagined how popular it would become. So much so that they have now uploaded lots of other photos at everyones request. Its easy to see why as well. The husky is called Tally aka Tao Tao (it means mischievous in Chinese), the very cat-like husky.
The picture that got her famous.
Tally doing her best cat pose.
Frankfurter Dog.
The second picture that got her famous.
Another close up of her in her box.
Tally apparently likes to spend quite a bit of time hanging out inside her box.
She's been taught to bikejor. She prefers to pull her owner along however.
She is pretty much mute as well. She likes to sit at the window and silently judge everyone that passes by.
She likes to sneak up the stairs because she is not allowed up there. Here, she is sneaking up one stair at a time. You can tell how much she wants her owner to come back down by how far she is up the stairs. Apparently this is about 3 / 10 urgency.
This is her sofa. She wasn't supposed to be on it, but slowly claimed it after sneaking onto it every night when she was supposed to be sleeping.
After she was spayed, she needed all these toys to keep her comfort.
If you are eating, she will rest her head on your laptop until you feed her.
Looking good.
Despite looking cute very cute, she really just wants your food.
Very cute puppy pictures!.
Getting into trouble at a young age.
All of her light grey areas darkened as she turned older.
Best of friends.
Still getting into trouble.
Looking proud of the mess she has created.
She has to be in the same room as her owners, even when sleeping.
And the sleeping poses are awesome!.
She is also very talented at balancing things on her head.
Lazy, but still flexible. She always keeps an eye on whats going on.
And finally, more awesome nose balancing skills.
Is this the cutest Husky ever? we think so.

Has anyone used finasteride for acne before? I know it's meant for thinning hair and your prostate, but I've read it may help with DHT acne during or PCT.
Has anyone used finasteride for acne before? I know it's meant for thinning hair and your prostate, but I've read it may help with DHT acne during or PCT.
In theory is sounds good but I doubt you'll see much difference.
Has anyone actually used it themselves? Also, is taking accutane during a cycle any worse than any other time?
I read an article by Anthony Roberts on using like nizoral for acne while on cycle. His theory made some sense but it just doesn't work. That's what I base my advice on with finasteride. There's some real wild ideas people post up for acne but the bottom line is the flucuating hormones cause it and that's why acne is worse or just rears it's head during pct and after. On stronger cycles it shows during the cycle as well. Nothing will compete with it better than clean sheets or pillow case depending on the area every night and several showers a day. particularly before bed. Clean shirts several times a day if possible and an antibiotic. The B-5 treatment works for some and there's something else that's pretty effective for some. Cleanliness and an antibiotic are the gold standard. There are mild antibiotics that work for normal acne and should be used first and hopefully that's all. For those that the mild first line antibiotic doesn't work there's always accutane which is last resort. It can be a life saver for some people. It can make things worse for the first few weeks so don't get discouraged if you're using it and don't think it's working. Give it time and it will do it's job. Please don't just use accutane for small acne just because it's easy to order along with the rest of your gear from a sponsor. Make sure you need something as strong as accutane prior to using it.
I have just started acutane cycle 10mg a day (which is not a lot) does wonders for me I will run cycle soon while being on acutane
. I don't have sever acne but some spots from time to time anoy me. I can say for sure accutane does wonders and I recomend it for everyone, all those side effects are well overstated, yes you get dry lips which isn't bad at all and dry skin which is definitely better that oily skin. I was on accutane 2 years ago and loved it.
...have to agree with haz though if you are running orals I would stay on extremely low doses or wouldn't use it at all.
second everything haz has said...in addition, you need to realise that finasteride will basically prevent all testesterone from converting into DHT on cycle which may inhibit your strength and size gains and which may also may you more susceptible to estrogen related side effects, such as Gyno and bloating, if you not using an AI. So by using finadsteride as a potential solution to a problem you may be opening yourself to several others...
Adversity causes some people to break, and some people to break records - Henry Rollins
So, if your using an oral (Tbol) to jump start a cycle, how long after you finish the oral would it be okay to start the accutane?
I've used it before as a teenager, and it's looking like it might be necessary again. I can deal with the dry skin and chapped lips.
What's the lowest dose and shortest duration anyone has seen good results with?
IM not certain but ive heard the guys say you have to run it like 2 weeks after the symptoms go away to prevent rebound, but should see results fairly quickly.
IMO, best drug for acne is accutane but it does have side effects.

Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin was created long time ago in the beginning of 2009. There is still no idea who had created BTC, but the idea of the cryptocurrency became trendy within next few years. You can't buy bitcoin in the bank and you cannot touch them because it is not a physical thing. The main idea is decentralized peer to peer mechanism for the quick payments with low fees.
Nowadays a lot of people wish to buy bitcoin and the first action they do every morning is checking the bitcoin price in USD today. Why are they so interested in it and how to buy Bitcoin? What is a blockchain? Is a bitcoin stock market trustable? Bitcoin chart and Bitcoin price graphs are very popular in the internet trends today. Developers are willing to make BTC currency payments a daily used routine thing. Imagine that you can go to the website buy BTC and and then pay in every shop you want. But that's only a dream.

About Find DIY
Call me old fashioned, but I think trust is important. In fact, whether they are building a wall, rewiring a house or having their flat decorated, when people take on a tradesman to do the work that needs doing there is probably nothing more important to them than knowing that the job is going to be done properly and that they are going to be charged a fair price for the work that has been done.
The truth is, most people have no problem with paying for a service. What makes many wary of engaging a tradesman is the thought that they are going to be sold short. The fear that either they are going to be overcharged or that the work is going be substandard – or both – is often very real, and sometimes very justified too. There are just too many people in the trades who are not up to the job, or who just want to take the money and get out of there whilst putting in as little effort as they can get away with.
My Mission is to Help
This was my reason for setting up this blog. My mission is to help decent people to get the service they deserve by offering tips and advice, and practical assistance in finding reliable tradesmen who will do a good honest job for a good honest price. Not really too much to ask, is it?
But first of all let me tell you something about myself.
My name is Pete Thomas and I have been a multi-faceted tradesman for fifteen years, having inherited my skills from my now retired father. I suppose he was a bit old fashioned too. He made a good living by providing a good service. He was always in demand, and he was frequently being asked back by existing customers to do more work whenever it arose. They knew they could trust him, and that he could be relied upon to do good quality work at a reasonable price which could be broken down, fully explained and justified. Bodge and run was never his style, he was actually quite proud of the loyal client base that he had managed to painstakingly build up over the many years that he was in the business.
Nobody Deserves to be Ripped Off
I know that most people work hard for their money, and it can be heartbreaking having to pay out for work only then to find that it hasn't been done properly, or in some cases that it even has to be done again, at further expense. Nobody deserves to be treated like that.
Throughout my blog you will find all the information you need to make an informed decision about which tradesmen to use for which piece of work. I offer tips and advice based on my own knowledge and expertise on the subject. I want you to have the peace of mind which comes with knowing that the service you are receiving is to the most professional standard, and at a fair price too.

You Need the Very Best Statement of Purpose for PhD Admission
Sometimes applicants take SoP just a casual requirement for the admission and lose their chance to get enrolled in their dream institution. PhD SoP is not an ordinary document. It is used as a tool to evaluate the abilities of the applicant. It reflects the writing skills of the student, how wisely he can comprehend large information in a limited word count. It expresses career goals, past struggles, and ambition of the person about this particular field. SoP gives the applicant an opportunity to tell about those unique qualities, which makes him a perfect choice for this seat. SoP for PhD application needs your proper attention if you actually want to get admission in PhD.
Going into research and chasing your PhD is not easy if you are applying overseas from India. Your statement of purpose for PhD admission must be written in a way that grabs the attention of the selection committee and gets them to see you as the best candidate. If it does not do this then you are unlikely to be selected. Writing a SoP for PhD admissions, however, is never going to be easy which is why there are so many applicants that are going to turn to our professional services. Get your persuasive PhD SoP or statement of purpose for MBA in India easily!
SoP for PhD Samples | Winning SoP Writing Formula
7 Must Haves of a Winning SoP for PhD Application
You have to write your SoP for PhD mechanical engineering or any other field very carefully. Give it proper time and start it well before time. It can play a decisive role in your admission. So, write your PhD SoP with all the attention and concentration. Here are some key points, which are important for your statement of purpose for PhD in management or in whatever field you are applying:
- Your SoP should be very interesting. Just imagine that the admission committee have to read hundreds of SoPs, they will be reading all the casual phrases and sentences. If you can write something interesting and unusual, you stand a chance, otherwise, your application will become part of the refused pile.
- You have to express the importance of your degree in your life. For instance, if you are writing accounting PhD statement of purpose, you have to show how passionate you are for an accounting degree and how important it is, in your future planning.
- Another important point to mention in your PhD SoP is your previous achievements. When you write your statement of purpose for PhD in Chemistry, you have to tell your distinctions in graduate school, your achievements in chemistry and your participation in the subject club or society.
- When you write SoP for scientific subjects like SoP for PhD in biological sciences, you have to present a research ide. If you don't have any clear idea yet, you can talk about your previous research field. If someone in faculty is working on the same research area, show your interest to work with him.
- You also need to include in your PhD SoP, all the reasons why you are interested in this university. Visit the website of the university and find that particular point which you can mention in your SoP. It can be the research facilities, it can be a strong curriculum or the qualified faculty. You have to show your interest in this university and clear reasons for that.
- You have to tell the admission committee that what are the values which you can add to their institution. What are the benefits, which this institution will have if you get enrolled here. You can quote the examples from your previous college or grad school.
- Like the start, end your PhD statement of purpose in a convincing way. Last few sentences can leave a strong mark. Don't miss this chance.
Pro Tips on How to Craft a Successful Doctorate SoP That Will Get You Noticed
It is very important to get noticed when you apply for PhD. There is a very limited number of seats for PhD scholars and a number of applicants can be very high. You should be ready to face the tough competition. They will be having the same or higher grades as yours, so PhD statement of purpose is your only chance. But how to write statement of purpose for PhD admission in a perfect way? Here are some tips to write your SoP for PhD in biotechnology or in whatever field you are interested:
- You have to be realistic. You have to knit an interesting story to keep the reader hooked, but it should be realistic. Don't exaggerate or tell something which is not true. It will give a bad impression.
- Making an outline or a draft is always helpful. It will help you not to miss any important point or idea.
- SoP for PhD in electrical engineering or any other field, research is very important for doctorate level. Try to have a clear research idea, it's better to link it with your previous research. If you don't have a clear project in mind, mention your research area at least.
- Don't use common cliches and phrases, which are common in SoP samples for PhD found on different websites. Majority of the applicants use them, so they make you a run of the mill applicant. You have to make a unique impression. Narrate the story in an unusual way.
- Professionals always give importance to the writing style. Write in a positive tone and give attention to the structure of sentences. There should be no grammatical error and no spelling mistakes. These small things are also judged by the admission committee.
- Don't mention those details, which are already there in your CV. SoP is the place to express your interest in this particular field and university.

Retirement Coaching: Rehearsing the Second Act
People are working much longer in life, but even if it's farther away retirement is still an opportunity to start anew. Without advance planning, it can feel more like an end point than a beginning. This is where working with a retirement coach can help.
Sharon Good, BCC, ACC, CLC, shared some thoughts on how to get the most out of the coaching experience and enter that next chapter well prepared. Good explains, "A retirement coach is a life coach who helps people manage the retirement transition. Many people work with a financial planner, but they don't think about the other aspects of the change. A coach can help the person think ahead while they're still working, so the day of retirement isn't a shock. They can help (clients) realize changes that will happen and how to negotiate those changes."
Good offers the example of a new retiree suddenly spending more time at home, and the impact that can have on a relationship; deciding in advance how to spend that time, together and apart, can ensure both partners adjust well to the change. Coaching also helps fill newly free time in ways a client can feel good about. "A coach can… help someone explore new activities for their retirement phase, whether paid or unpaid, and how they can find a sense of fulfillment in retirement."
There's one crucial aspect of retirement that these services do not cover, says Good. "A retirement coach does not do financial planning unless they are a certified financial planner. They can help the client think through their finances, but they are not qualified to give advice unless they are certified."
Virginia B. Berger, Certified Retirement Coach, CPC, ACC, helps clients look ahead with strategies like an assessment of six key areas (career, health, finances, family, leisure and personal development); finding potential obstructions before retirement offers clients a chance to remove them. For those who have already retired and find themselves overwhelmed, she begins with an energy assessment, then tailors exercises to those areas where the client is most stuck in order to facilitate goal-setting for future progress. This can be as simple as finding a hobby or volunteer position that's a good fit for the client, or as complex as designing an entirely new approach to daily life.
Clients who find themselves alone and feeling the financial crunch can find help in a group setting, Berger mentions. Coaching circles are less expensive and offer many of the same services to clients that one-on-one sessions would, as well as the chance to run ideas by a group of peers. Coaches who offer group sessions can facilitate groups by phone for those who are geographically remote, but the camaraderie of group sessions held in person is an added benefit for those who miss the water-cooler culture at their jobs.
It can be difficult to determine whether retirement coaching is the right move, but Good offers a few points to consider. Someone for whom their work has been their identity, and who hasn't cultivated many outside interests or hobbies stands to benefit. If the prospect of so much free time feels frightening, coaching will lead to a plan of action. Some people may enjoy the spontaneity and freedom of retirement and naturally gravitate to a healthy mix of civic engagement, family time and solitary pleasures. But those who would much rather plan ahead, for whom that lack of organization is a source of worry, will find retirement coaching a great way to prepare for what's coming.

Tamiya is no stranger to vehicle & military scale modelers. The race car kit was a quality build. From bodywork, interior, rear engine to detachable engine cover, everything was detailed as highly as possible. The large body decals hid the paint lines perfectly. Just mask along the raised lines on the body before spray painting. Bare Metal foil was used to cover all rims. Check out the photo of the real machine at wikipedia.

Wales is still the place to be when you want to be beside the sea according to this year's best beach awards.
Ninety-eight beaches in Wales will fly blue and yellow flags awarded by environmental charity ENCAMS for clean sands and top-notch facilities, it was announced today.
This is out of a record-breaking total of 317 beaches which have passed strict criteria on beach management - including providing first aid, clean toilets and ensuring access and facilities for disabled visitors at each resort.
The Environment Agency tests bathing water quality and only those beaches that have passed the EU minimum legal standards are eligible for the award.
ENCAMS is making an impassioned plea to the public to start backing beaches by visiting and promoting them.
Alan Woods, chief executive of ENCAMS, said: "Tourism is one of the largest industries in the UK and is worth approximately #75 billion a year.
"It also employs over two million people.
"By visiting one of our award-winning beaches this summer, you will be helping to keep that industry and many local economies afloat.
"Whether visiting a resort with the family or strolling along a rural beach, you will also be able to look forward to clean sands and good facilities - not something you would necessarily have found at the British coast a decade ago."
This year's record haul of flags completes a steady rise in award-winners since the scheme began in 1992 when only 92 made the grade.
The total is up nine on last year with most of the gains being made along the English Riviera, with four new winners coming from Torbay alone.
Scotland, Yorkshire and the south east of England have also made gains while the east of England, the Channel Islands, the north east and the East Midlands have maintained the number of flags they achieved last year.
A handful of beaches in the north west and Northern Ireland have not made the grade this time.
Among those beaches that won an award in 1992, and have received them every year since, are Southend, Eastbourne, Benone Strand (Northern Ireland), Poole, Tenby and Scarborough.
ENCAMS also carried out a full survey of its award-winning resort beaches.
Each was examined for a variety of issues, including cleanliness, access, safety provision, dog control, facilities, maintenance and information.
The standards were marked out of 100, with this score then transferred into a grade range from A (superbly managed) to D (badly looked after).
Sixty-one beaches were awarded Grade A.
Alan Woods added: "Over the last five years, public awareness of the Seaside Awards has increased by around 30% and it has clearly become a recognised mark of achievement, much sought after by Britain's beach managers and I really think that's why standards have improved so much along our coastline.
"While there is still much to be done, the time has come for all of us to stop being embarrassed about our beaches and start celebrating them for what they are - a viable option for tourists here and from overseas.
"The tired old cliches about Britain's coastline being unattractive, its beaches dirty and its facilities antiquated, should be consigned to the past where they belong."
The Seaside Awards flags will be presented at a special ceremony in Swansea on March 18.
Award-winning beaches are on the website www.seasideawards.org.uk

Help us prevent an environmental catastrophe in Chelyabinsk, Russia!
0 людей подписали. Следующая цель: 5 000
We, the people of Chelyabinsk city, would like to bring our plight to your attention. Please could you have a look into our problem and help us gather as much publicity as possible? For more than 3 years we have been fighting Russian Copper Company (http://rmk-group.ru/en/ and its plans to build a Copper Mining and Processing Plant in Tomino village, just 20km from the city of Chelyabinsk – a large, 1+mln people industrial centre in the middle of Russia. The so-called "Russian" Copper Company is a transnational group incorporated offshore in Cyprus, and its main objective is to exploit non-renewable natural resources of our planet. Its production methods bring immeasurable harm to the environment as well as to local residents. If RCC's project goes through, it will bring grave harm to the ecology not only of our region, but of the whole world, too. The people of Chelyabinsk and the whole region have been fighting against RCC's plans for several years, by all possible means. More details can be found in our online petition on Change.org that has gathered almost 135 thousand signatories: https://www.change.org/p/stop-the-building-of-tomino-mining-and-processing-plant
However, despite our many protest rallies, despite thousands of petitions delivered to the President's office and other authorities, in June 2017 RCC started construction works for the Tomino Mining Plant - without any legally required permits and approvals. They have started cutting down acres and acres of pine and birch woods that used to provide Chelyabinsk with clean air. Many people from Chelyabinsk staged protests against this, and RCC then put a highly dangerous and lethal type of barbed wire all around the disputed territory, to keep people away.
The problem is that this is woodland territory that's always had recreational and protective status. Many kinds of animals live there and migrate through this area, including some rare ones from the Red List of Threatened Species.
As the result of these criminal actions, animals wander into the barbed wire and get serious, life-threatening wounds. We have already found out about two painful deaths of young animals.
On 3rd July 2017 locals found a dead young roedeer and took photographs and videos, that can be found in our public group on VK social network: https://vk.com/wall-56308476_129745
One month later, on 8th August 2017 locals once again found an animal corpse, this time of a small elk calf. Photos and videos are available here: https://vk.com/wall-56308476_142185 The dead animal was found because the local noticed a female elk who comes and lies by the corpse every day.
Animals now suffer every day, caught between barbed wire and the noise of the machinery on the construction site. Please check these photos of a frightened fox, taken by local residents in the recent days: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=906959126128918&id=100004445169406
RCC is planning to irreversibly destroy 3000 hectares of woodland - aided, abetted and fully supported by our corrupt regional government. All federal authorities turn a blind eye to our protests, call us "foreign agents" and claim that we're just seeking to destabilize the political situation in the region ahead of next year's Presidential elections.
No matter how gross and unlawful RCC's actions are, our authorities won't back down and stop supporting this barbaric project. They violate the local citizens' legal rights, threaten the whole region with ecological disaster of major proportions, threaten wildlife for many kilometers around, and kill poor defenseless animals.
Please help us defend our lands and our homes, help us spread these images through international mass media!
Respectfully yours,
The residents of Chelyabinsk, Russia

Salome Zourabichvili has returned from Lopota to Tbilisi, but the Georgian president has not yet spoken about the Georgian citizens kidnapped by the Russians on the barbed wires on the occupation line.
Asked why she has not made a statement on the developments till now, the president said, "Because the statement should be serious and not done on the street."
She does not comment on whether she intends to go to Gugutiantkari - "I will warn you about everything ... I will decide to make a statement or do something else... I know and am working on it. The government works seriously and I am involved," Salome Zourabichvili says.

Canggu BaliIndonesia
Hi I am Emma, I live in Bali and have been practicing yoga for 20 years on and off. I started practicing yoga at my local gym in Putney, London way back when, and it was during savasana that I became aware that my overly negative mind had stopped beating me was beautiful and it was huge! Since then my Yoga practice has become my best friend, a hand I hold as I walk the spiritual path and a rock I cling to as the winds of change blow fiercely as they sometimes do. 6 years ago I moved to Bali, found a meditation ashram and have not looked back. My happy things are painting mandalas, walking my dog, sunsets, waves and, making raw chocolates and eating them!
Emma Latham does not have any packages set up.

Technological advancements take time. Look at all you can do on iPhone X. DSLR-like HDR photography, 4K video with slow-motion and time-lapse. Those capabilities dwarf what iPhone could do way back 2007.
Now, look at your television. For a variety of reasons, most of what you see on broadcast TV is 720p or 1080i, but it's still digital and still HD (high definition). Some of the TVs you see in Walmart, Best Buy and elsewhere these days are 4K and UHD. While some 4K content is available, it is not common, and those televisions simply upscale traditional broadcast TV signals and cable TV programming.
1080p, 4K, and UHD are merely steps to the next video plateau, which is 4K HDR. Now you can see why Apple waited so long to upgrade Apple TV to handle 4K. 4K and HDR is kinda sorta mostly here already but more is on the way, yet it isn't the most common standard, and won't be for a few years. 4K HDR televisions are dropping in price, and more 4K HDR programming is making its way to your television.
Apple TV 4K with HDR tells us where the future will be. Yes, 4K HDR will be a plateau we will sit on for a few years, and it will remain such until content is generated at the next level, likely 8K, and that will take a few years.
Unfortunately, what is happening in television is nothing short of a massive sea change from commonality– everything video looked the same on nearly every device– to fragmentation, where we have many different devices that display video– not just traditional television fare– with many different levels of content.
My iPhone X can display HDR content but not in 4K. Yet, the last three iPhone models– iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, and iPhone X, can capture video in 4K which can be displayed on 4K television screens.
Step by step, with many steps overlapping previous and future steps, Apple is moving the entire smartphone and tablet industry– and television– toward the next plateau; 4K and HDR. Along the way will be various levels of video quality, but already 4K HDR televisions are available, YouTube and Vimeo have 4K HDR video content. So do Amazon and Netflix, and more online streaming content is on the way.
These changes in distribution, video quality, and sources represent a sea change in both the technology industry and traditional media. I'm not sure how far we can advance the state of content art beyond 4K HDR– is it just diminishing returns after that? For all the nattering nabobs of negativism about the company's slow walk of some technology, Apple is a leading actor in the change and uniquely positioned to drive change toward 4K HDR with devices, content creation (Final Cut Pro will be 4K and HDR in a future version; can 4K Mac notebook screens be far behind?), and distribution.

Introduction|Intro|Background} Domains
In this Market Hero review, I'm going to reveal some email advertising secrets that are so great, you'll want to crawl buck-naked across broken glass just to locate them. Domains
But , I want to say"thank you" to Alex Becker, the creator of Market Hero.
I started watching Alex Becker's YouTube videos back in 2016. He taught me the best way to run a Shopify shop, and that a lot of things about entrepreneurship marketing.
It was right around the time that Alex released his book, The 10 Pillars of Household: Mind-Sets of The World's Richest People. I got that book once I watched it and I jumped to emphasize it and then mark it up. I could move re-read it.
Actually, Market Hero is not even his only multi-million dollar company. He also founded the search engine optimization software development company Source Wave and now he's running a supplement brandnew. He has also got a few courses out there from the market teaching individuals how to grow their email lists and market more.
The dude is a vending machine. My hat off to you, Alex.

What Is Market Hero?
Anyway, Market Hero is among the best email Autoresponders available on the market nowadays and it's so much better than its rivals because it focuses on revenue metrics.
I have used a bunch of email autoresponder software through time, including MadMimi and Drip. Drip has been my favorite up until I started using Market Hero. Drip allows you like monitor your rates to do lots of things and label your subscribers.
But if you are anything like me, while you care about open rates and click-through prices, the thing that matters is SALES. Earnings are the lifeblood of your business and earnings is what puts cold, hard cash in your pocket. Market Hero makes it possible to monitor sales, simple and plain.
Market Hero Support
While I didn't have to use Market Hero support that They got back to me quickly, Much because everything is, the few times I did reach out to them. Domains
The support isn't amazing to the point at which they supply you with detailed step-by-step videos and also hold your hand through each step along the way, however it is not terrible. If you need that degree of coddling and hand-holding, possibly Market Hero is not for you.
Market Hero has English-speaking support team available to respond to your queries through live chat at no cost. Like some companies do, you do not have to be part of any plan or package that is upgraded to possess priority service. You just log in and start chatting.
Could Market Hero Truly 4X Your Enterprise?
On Market Hero's homepage, one of the headings You will see states,"4X Your Email Business With Unequaled Delivery and Sales Metrics". This immediately set off my B.S. sensor because I know how hard it's to 4X an email sequence, particularly if you're any good at what you are doing.
But Market Hero offers a free trial so I figured I'd sign up and see if it had been any good. I guessed I only need a small increase in sales for Market Hero to cover itself and if it did 4X my enterprise, I would be flying high.
Now, in the interest of full disclosure I do want to inform you Market Hero has NOT increased my sales 4X (yet), but I am getting more sales than before and Market Hero IS paying for itself. Rather easily, in fact. I was doing well and had my email game tight, so that I knew a 4X increase could be rough.
But in case you are new to email marketing or if you've got a smaller internet company, Market Hero could probably 4X your sales. Here is the way:
It monitors your customers' lifetime value.
I know I already mentioned this, but the key to Market Hero is how it keeps your customers' lifetime value (LTV) facing you constantly and it changes as you send emails out and tweak your own autoresponder. As soon as you know your client value, you can literally"buy" clients. What Market Hero does is monitor every sale and every conversion for each and every guide on your listing. It then averages everything together and gives you.
If you were to do this manually, then you'd probably have to go through different programs, various spreadsheets, and return through your prior sales. You would have to crunch on a great deal of numbers that are different that you don't have anymore. Market Hero simplifies this issue better than anybody else available on the market.
You can section using tags.
Sign up for the free trial : Market Hero
I know that you are probably thinking,"Tags? Okay… big thing." However, the manner that Market Hero lets you use tags is a lot better. This is why…
Let's say that I am running two different campaigns for the identical audience. Anyone who opts-in to the very first campaign will be labeled as"A" and anyone who opts-in to the next campaign is going to be tagged as"B".
I will go into Market Hero and filter out all the"B" opt-ins and find out just how much they're worth compared to"A" opt-ins. If I find out that the"B" opt-ins are earning more money, I understand that I should be pouring more ad dollars into marketing the"B" opt-in. Domains
Should you do this again and again, you can create a powerful business as you will always be split-testing to determine which types of individuals are worth more to your business.
And getting this up and running will be super-easy too. All you need to do is take the pixel that Market Hero gives you and place it in the regions that you want to monitor. From there, Market Hero will keep tabs on all of your clients, sales, conversions, etc., to supply you with the data that you will need to cultivate your business.
You can incorporate with a lot of different services.
Inside Market Hero, there is a button called"integrations" that – you guessed it helps you integrate with things like ClickFunnels, SamCart, Shopify, Leadpages, Zapier, and more.
I think that this is a wise move by Alex Becker because it indicates he understands his market. He understands that the people who are serious about making money on the internet are probably using things such as this and he wants to be certain that his applications integrates seamlessly.
My only criticism is that lots of the software I use, such as OptinMonster and Thrive Topics has not been placed in the"integrations" tab. That doesn't mean you CAN'T incorporate them, because you can (you use Zapier to make them speak to each other) but it's not as easy as something like ClickFunnels or even Shopify.
Talking of Shopify…
How Is This Different From Autoresponders?
The best way for me to explain it is of The other autoresponders were created for email marketers. Their thinking has its own limits and I send mails to my list on a daily basis, although I've nothing against email marketers. Market Hero was built by means of a company owner FOR company owners.
Market Hero differs because it provides you with a bunch of different ways to assist you track ROI and generate more profit from your emails.
By way of instance, among the coolest features is the fact that it shows you just how much each lead is worth. Imagine logging into your email autoresponder and seeing that every guide is worth $6.87 to you. Meaning that you can go out and"buy" email addresses to make money. What you do is you buy paid traffic from Google, Facebook, etc. and send that traffic to a opt-in page. You have a small business, if you can find a successful opt-in for less money than it is worth. Rinse and repeat as many times as possible.
Additionally, it also lets you segment your listing in far deeper ways than other autoresponder services out there. As I saidI utilized Drip plus they have some segmentation tools, chiefly from the ability to use tags to your leads, but it's small potatoes compared to Market Hero. I don't need to give away any of Market Hero's proprietary info, but let's just say that you will be pleased with the segmentation ability. Domains
Is Market Hero a Scam?
From what I have seen, absolutely not. I think that At this point, by being a scam artist Alex Becker has to lose. He is running a variety of companies and he's smart enough to realize that if he tarnished his reputation, he would be screwed.
From what I've seen, people have complained about his refund policy. However, these people are typically the individuals who have utilized Market Hero for months and attempt to get all their money back. These are the scammers. If you aren't willing to pay money for a service which may enhance your business and your life, you're scum. Plain and simple.
Market Hero's free trial offer is pretty straightforward. It says that if you cancel within 14 days then you won't be charged anything.
Rest assured, gentle reader. Market Hero is untrue.
If You've Shopify (Or Any Online Business…)
When I began writing this Market Hero review Was worried that it went to lean a little too much towards Shopify entrepreneurs. That's why I want to stress this Market Hero will help you in ANY business, not Shopify.
On his YouTube station, Alex has posted a great deal of different videos about Shopify. When you get past the titles that are clickbait-style, you find he provides a whole lot of helpful information about the best way to make money with Shopify. Part of the reason that he does this is because he needs to get people to test out Market Hero because he understands it can help them.
For instance, Market Hero allows you to create abandoned cart sequences. Whenever someone begins the checkout process in Shopify (by entering their email) but does not finish it, that has monitored in Market Hero. From there, you get them back to complete their purchase and can follow up with that person.
The ability to create those abandoned cart strings is just one of the ways which you can make Market Hero literally pay for itself. Let's do some math…
based on the study that you read, the ordinary cart abandonment rate for an online store is generally somewhere in the neighborhood of 70-80 percent. Are there individuals with lower abandonment rates? Sure, but this is the typical.
Imagine that you have 100 people go through your checkout process and 80 of these people abandon your cart. That means you have 20 clients and 80 non-customers. What if a cart retrieval sequence just got a 10 percent of the non-customers to purchase?
That will get you an extra 8 customers. This means that you would boost your sales 40%! (Because 8 extra sales is 40 percent of the 20 sales you already had.)
In the event that you boosted your earnings 40 percent, would that justify the investment in Market Hero? But that's not all…
Market Hero also allows you to make upsell sequences. Can you create such sequences? Yes, you can. I am completely transparent about that, but it is nowhere near as fluid and it will not give you that lifetime customer value. Domains
The reason Market Hero is so strong is because you can use tags and track LTV. When you connect Market Hero into Shopify, it begins tracking immediately. Buy tags are applied that show.
Imagine you have a Shopify shop selling print-on-demand dog tops. It would be silly to attempt to sell Golden Retriever stuff to this person, right if someone bought a pug shirt? But that's exactly what a lot of online entrepreneurs are doing since they do not have the data in front of them. Because Market Hero enables you to determine exactly what the individual purchased, you can focus on selling only stuff for your pug clients.
You can totally geek out on this stuff. You complicated can get as comprehensive as you like. In my personal business, I use it to section the topics that advisors are interested in. I don't need to bombard them with emails about GETTING customers, since they'd be immaterial because I market products that help financial advisors GET clients and let them KEEP customers, if a person is more interested in KEEPING customers. This person would finally unsubscribe.
Oh, and in case you're interested, here's a movie of Alex Becker showing you how you can raise your own Shopify revenue 300 percent with Market Hero. Just keep in mind the Market Hero may be used with ANY online business, not just Shopify.
Market Hero is an email software that is awesome because It's built for people who are trying to make money online. In Case You Haven't completed So already, go over there, import your listing and make the most of this complimentary trial.
You can't afford to not understand your numbers. That's like Driving blind. If you do not understand your numbers, you are leaving a huge Amount of money. Imagine how much more money you could make if you Knew exactly what every lead was worth. How would your decisions change? How would that change your life? Domains

Look what I just got!
It's a digital drum set! Now I can finally start a dance party. Plus, I can do more than just pretend to play drums not disturb my neighbors. Not more stupid pads, now the drums are the pads. They aren't the best, but they're a step up from the rockband drum set I have. Now all I need to do is get the rest of the band to join me. Maybe I'll get a keytar next.

Saying Thanks
I wish I had this card with me yesterday as I was maneuvering the isles and ducking traffic at the grocery store. I ran smack into hanging shelves containing a bazillion cans of cheese spread with color-coded lids. At least three-quarters of them either landed on the floor or into my cart minus their caps. Regardless, there were a ton of cans that needed to be return to the shelves with the correct colored cap. I am so very grateful to the young man who took the time from his shopping to helped me and I might add, he was very easy on the eyes as well.
