Someone recently asked me, why would you ever do Network Marketing on the Internet? What could you possibly get from it? Now, granted, most of these questions come from MLM business people who truly know very little about the Internet and do not fully understand the incredible leverage it can give you.
I will make it very simple, all the internet does for network marketing is allow you to leverage your time and the vast amount of traffic on the internet all over the world in order to expose people to what solutions/products/opportunities you have. It combines the power of internet marketing and network marketing all in one.
For example, lets say you were trying to recruit people to become business partners with you. If you were to do business the Old School way of Network Marketing, let me ask you, how many business presentations could you give in a day? One or two if you are really good and have things going very smoothly.
With the Internet, you could give 10,20,100, or even 1000 network marketing business presentations for your opportunity. No, let me correct myself, you personally cannot, but because of the huge amount of traffic on the Internet, and using a marketing system, your system can give the presentations for you. This is true leverage for your MLM business
All that you need is a system in place to greet and sort those people to see if they are candidates to join you in your business and the ability to get people to come visit you and see you in your system you have created.
The system you create gives you the ability to meet, greet, educate, give value to, and sort those potential business partners of yours. You have the option to use pre-made marketing systems out there, which are tested and work very well. Otherwise you can create your own system to brand yourself as an expert Network Marketer.
Now listen closely, how do you get people to visit you on the Internet? By driving internet traffic or visitors to your website. Plain and simple. Its really a numbers game after that. You show what you have to 1000 of the right kind of targeted people a day, just by sheer numbers, at least 10 will join you.
Expanding your network marketing business onto the Internet lets you take advantage of this enormously leveraged medium, and is the new way to promote your MLM. You have the ability to make countless network marketing opportunity presentations to people all over the world once you have your basic system in place.

MiFID II is mainly relevant to investment firms, and of course to banks that provide investment services or engage in investment activities. These organisations will have to start preparing for a number of changes to their governance and business organisation. As MiFID II significantly extends not only the scope but also the detail of the regulation, most investment firms will have to review existing activities and may need to adjust their compliance monitoring accordingly. Under MiFID II they will have to take into account that supervisory authorities will have a greater set of supervisory tools at their disposal and that stricter sanctions will apply.
Investment firms will have to provide more information to their clients, e.g., about the total cost of an investment service or the cost of a financial instrument that they recommend or market. Where investment advice is provided, the client must be told beforehand if the advice is provided on an independent basis. If it is, the financial instruments included in the advice may not be limited to instruments of entities that the service provider has a close link with. And even if the client is a professional investor, providers of independent investment advice or asset management may not pay or receive any commission. "Execution only" services will be subject to additional restrictions, and services providers will therefore need to reassess the terms of their agreements with clients.
Trading in a greater range of financial instruments will be subject to transparency requirements, and executed transactions in more financial instruments will have to be reported to the supervisory authorities. MiFID II introduces strict rules for high-frequency trading and introduces an obligation to execute transactions in derivatives on a trading platform: a regulated market, MTF or the new OTF. Parties that are active in commodities markets and trading in commodity derivatives will, much sooner than is currently the case, fall under the licence and supervision regime for investment firms.

Canalys expects the worldwide IT security market to grow at a compound annual rate of 7 percent, to reach $30.1 billion in 2017.
From a regional standpoint, Asia Pacific is forecast to increase 9 percent in 2013 as budgets continue to grow in the large economies of China, India and Japan as well as other countries across the region.
The largest and most mature market, North America, is projected to grow at a stable rate of 5 percent over the next five years. Latin America, on the other hand, continues to be a high-growth market and IT security spend is expected to increase by 15 percent in 2013, driven by large infrastructure projects. EMEA was the slowest-growing market in 2012, up just 3 percent.
"The sluggish growth was primarily down to the poor performance of the European market, which was hindered by economic uncertainty," said Nushin Vaiani, analyst, Canalys.
We expect an increase in investment as businesses of all sizes begin to gear up for the impending changes to the EU data protection directive. This will work to boost overall growth in the EMEA market to 8 percent for full-year 2013 added Vaiani.
Canalys estimates that medium-sized businesses will be the biggest growth segment over the next five years, growing by a compound annual rate of 7 percent to reach $8.5 billion in 2017. Medium-sized businesses are prioritizing more of their IT budgets and resources to ensure their businesses are compliant with various data protection regulations.
These businesses are expected to invest heavily in all market segments, with network security leading the way, driven by the need for solutions with advanced capabilities in application control as well as greater scalability. Content security spend will be dominated by encryption and data-loss prevention (DLP) solutions due to the growing need to protect corporate data.
Security management investment is growing in importance among medium-sized businesses due to the need to have greater visibility across an increasingly varied infrastructure.
The growing bring-your-own-technology trend and the shift to virtual and cloud environments represent major developments that are forcing businesses to rethink their security posture and fueling product refresh cycles.
"Corporate data in today's world resides in a fragmented ecosystem of on-premises, virtual and cloud environments. This shift will continue to drive security and infrastructure management investment over the next few years," added Vaiani.

A big part of what's made Vita Ayala's writing in comics such as Wonder Woman, Bitch Planet and Batman Beyond so strong is the way their storytelling is formed by their deeply personal, powerful politics. In The Wilds, their new upcoming series from Black Mask Studios with illustrations by Emily Pearson, their focus shifts away from capes and onto a horrifyingly beautiful apocalypse.
Image: Black Mask Studios
Like any good apocalypse, The Wilds begins with a plague that transforms much of humanity into creatures that still resemble people in many ways, despite the fact that they have become something much more seemingly mindless and deadly. The few remaining survivors gather in various fortified settlements scattered throughout the land, sustained by runners who work for the Compound, a business that's something like a cross between the postal service and the black market.
Like all runners, Daisy Walker ventures out into the wilderness that's populated by the infected to seek out valuable goods to bring back to the Compound, and her life in the apocalypse works for her until her partner - another runner named Heather - mysteriously goes missing during a job outside. As Daisy pushes into the wilds beyond, desperate to find Heather, she begins to learn things that challenge her understanding of the larger world she's living in.
Often, zombie-adjacent stories such as these focus on white, male characters locked in some sort of struggle for power and survival, so it's bracing to see an apocalyptic narrative that centres on a queer character who's a woman of colour. What's more, The Wilds' take on infected humans - known as Abominations - is a mesmerising blend of body horror and reverence for nature.
We have a few exclusive pages from the series to share now, and you can check The Wilds out in full when it hits stores next February.

Peterometer Chapter 1: Tracking Hydration
March 8, 2019
This is the first in a series of posts I hope to write about building tools for "Peterometer", a way to visualize stats I've collected about myself.
Inspiration for Peterometer
I've long been inspired by people who build beautiful visualizations of their gathered metrics. For example, Nicholas Felton's annual reports. Here is an example from his 2007 report:
I think this format of visualization is really cool. It's easy to glance at while being information-dense.
Another cool example is Anand Sharma's April Zero, which is now an app called Gyroscope:
He has some great posts about his creative process here and here. The Iron Man-style HUD influence shines through in the finished product.
These visualizations are really cool ways to show stats gathered about your life. I've recently been getting more into tracking my day-to-day life, and experimenting with visualization techniques to showcase this data.
Hydration Tracking
Since December 2018, I've been tracking my hydration every day. Every time I finish drinking something, I log the type of drink it was, and how much of it I drank. I log the data using the WaterMinder app on my watch and phone. WaterMinder lets you have saved drinks, which is really helpful if you drink the same thing often (my Nalgene, a cup of coffee from the machine at work, etc.)
Some Visualizations
WaterMinder lets you export your data in CSV format. With a little bit of Python, we can parse this into a "stream" stacked area chart to show how I hydrate myself:
This chart is a bit tough to read due to data density. The legend is sorted in descending order of consumption. By the numbers, this is:
|fluid oz.
|Sports Drink
|Carbonated Water
|Energy Drink
|Protein Shake
|Coconut Water
|Hot Chocolate
Using the chart and table there are some interesting takeaways:
- I drink a lot of coffee. Almost 44 liters during this period!
- There's coconut water consumption in late December - I had this while skiing
- In early February, there are a few days with only water, smoothies, and some soda. This corresponds to when I had my wisdom teeth removed
- I have energy drinks on the same day as protein shakes. This matches reality - I have a pre-workout energy drink and protein shake on days that I lift
- I seldom have beer, but I have more beer than I have protein shakes
- I infrequently have wine and liquor. This is good!
- You can see wine consumption during the New Years period
- Most liquor consumption was during vacations
Analyzing My Dog's DNA
January 21, 2019
Dogs are awesome. Since March of 2014, I've owned a little dog named Riker:
I adopted her from the Humane Society in Milpitas. She was 8 weeks old. She recently had her fifth birthday. Happy birthday Riker! I love her very much.
Anyways, when I got her, I was curious about what type of dog she was. She looks like a chihuahua, but has some features that don't match the traditional chihuahua:
- Curled, fluffy tail
- Gradient-banded coat near her front legs
- Sheds mountains of fur
- Generally pleasant demeanor
I thought she might have been part Shiba Inu. These dogs are adorable and have the curled tail and gradient-banded coat. Here's one from Wikipedia:
Doesn't this dog look like Riker? With the tail and banded coat? I thought so too.
Whenever other people asked me about Riker, I would tell them she's "part chihuahua, part shiba inu". They believed me, but I didn't have any proof.
Enter Embark
A good friend of mine told me about a service where you can get your dog's DNA analyzed. It's called EmbarkVet (disclaimer: this is a referral link). Embark gives your dog a breed report, health analysis, and some cool genetic information. It's like 23andMe for your dog.
I signed up for the service. A few days later they sent me a DNA swab kit. It's like an oversized q-tip. After sticking this in Riker's cheeks for 30 seconds or so (she wasn't happy about this, but I told her it was for science), I packed the kit in the return shipping and sent it off.
Over the next few weeks, Embark notified me as the analysis progressed. After 3 weeks or so, my pressing question was answered: they told me what type of dog she was!
Less than 50% chihuahua
To my absolute amazement, Riker is not even mostly chihuahua! The results confirm that Riker is a pomeranian! The full breakdown is:
- 50% Pomeranian (this accounts for the curved tail, banded coat, shedding, and how she's nice to be around)
- 32.5% Chihuahua
- 6.9% Miniature Pinscher (no relation to the larger dog)
- 10.6% "Supermutt" (small amounts of DNA from other dogs, including Cocker Spaniel)
I also learned that she has 1.5% "Wolfiness", which indicates ancient wolf genes that have survived through to modern domesticated dogs. Cool!
Note: I am not a trained biologist. Regrettably, I spent much of my college biology course playing Pokémon Crystal, although I do remember some parts of the genetics sections.
A family tree
Embark also determines haplotypes, which means they can tell what genes of Riker's came from which parents. This lets them generate a family tree:
This means Riker's parents were a chihuahua mix and a purebred pomeranian.
Analyzing my dog's DNA
Besides finally being able to see my dog's genetic history, I was super happy that I could download the raw genetic data. When I unzipped the file, I was left with two text files:
riker.tfam // 75B
riker.tped // 6.7MB
(I renamed them for brevity)
I searched for information on these file types. They both seem to be related to the free PLINK genetics software package.
If we download PLINK and run it on these files, we get:
$ plink --tfile riker
Processing .tped file... 77%
Error: Invalid chromosome code '27' on line 166046 of .tped file.
(This is disallowed for humans. Check if the problem is with your data, or if
you forgot to define a different chromosome set with e.g. --chr-set.)
This is pretty cool! PLINK defaults to human DNA. This file is from a dog, not a person. Looking through the plink
--help file, we can see that they have support for lots of species:
--cow/--dog/--horse/--mouse/--rice/--sheep : Shortcuts for those species.
(I wonder why rice is so interesting to the software…)
Anyways, let's run it with the
--dog flag:
$ plink --dog --tfile riker
Processing .tped file... done.
plink.bed + plink.bim + plink.fam written.
PLINK wrote these files to the same directory:
$ ls
These look to be PLINK metadata files that the software uses to do its processing.
We can use PLINK to do some interesting sounding genetic computations. For example, if we run it with the
--homozyg flag, we can see homozygosity reports. According to Wikipedia (I must have been in Johto during this part of biology), zygosity is "the degree of similarity of the alleles for a trait in an organism". Running it produces:
$ plink --dog --tfile riker --homozyg
1 dog (0 males, 1 female) loaded from .fam.
--homozyg: Scan complete, found 27 ROH.
Results saved to plink.hom + plink.hom.indiv + plink.hom.summary .
The software knows that the dog is female, which is pretty cool. The files it generated seem to indicate the degree of homozygosity for her individual genes. Neat!
If we run with the
--het flag, we can see inbreeding coefficients. The file it produces show this:
0 3.051e+04 61022 -1
From this helpful documentation I found online:
O(HOM) Observed number of homozygotes
E(HOM) Expected number of homozygotes
N(NM) Number of non-missing genotypes
F F inbreeding coefficient estimate
-1 looks like it indicates a sampling error or contamination according to the docs:
The estimate of F can sometimes be negative. Often this will just reflect random sampling error, but a result that is strongly negative (i.e. an individual has fewer homozygotes than one would expect by chance at the genome-wide level) can reflect other factors, e.g. sample contamination events perhaps.
We can also use the software to find what parts of the genotyping are missing with the
--missing flag. From this, I was able to gather that Riker only has a missing SNP rate of 0.0009034 (less than 1%). I think this means that Riker's DNA in this sample is over 99% complete. Cool!
I may make Riker's DNA available online some day for others to do genetic analysis.
Anyways, I thought this was a fun exercise into how genetic data is stored and processed. It's really cool that there is open source software to analyze this data. Thanks for reading!
Live Markdown previews from vim
January 6, 2019
This is more of a technical post
This site is written using Markdown, which:
allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML)
It's a common technique for writing blogs, as it lets the author write text in the text editor of their choice.
I write this page in
vim, which is a command line text editor. I love
vim for many reasons that are outside the scope of this post. I've been using it as my primary editor for almost 5 years. I wanted a good solution for writing Markdown in
vim is a command line editor, it makes it tougher to use it to write rich text. In a GUI program, rich text can be rendered inline and as-you-edit. A command line tool can show you the formatting you have applied to text, but it does not give you an accurate rendering of how your content will look as you edit it.
I wanted to continue to use
vim to edit my blog posts (I find
vim plugins for other editors to be a worse approximation than "I can't believe it's not butter"). This post is about how I solved this problem.
A Markdown preview app
On macOS, you can get apps to render Markdown in a window. One that I like a lot is Marked, which automatically refreshes its preview when the Markdown file changes. This means you can open a
.md file in Marked and get live updates as you change it. This can be used with any editor, including
vim. The flow is something like:
:ethe file you want to write
- Open Marked
- Open the file in Marked
As you save to it with
:w, the preview will be auto-refreshed. I like this, but wanted to open it with a single key combination.
Adding Marked to
We can write a
vim function to help us with this. Something like this:
function OpenInMarked2()
" Open the file in Marked here
Running a shell command from
We can use
! to run a command from our function. Technically, this is the
filter command. From
:help !:
{motion}text lines through the external program
You can try this in your
vim. Just run
:!pwd, and you should be presented with your shell and your current working directory. Below it,
vim helpfully tells us "Press ENTER or type command to continue".
This is great! Using this and the macOS
open command, we can at least launch Marked 2 with something like this:
!open -a Marked\ 2.app
But what about opening the current file?
vim lets us use
% from Ex commands as a stand-in for the path to the current file. So we can do something like:
!echo %
to see the current file. We can use this with
open to open the current file in
!open -a Marked\ 2.app %
This is the body of our
OpenInMarked2 function:
function OpenInMarked2()
!open -a Marked\ 2.app %
Once we have this function, we can call it with the Ex
call command, like this:
:call OpenInMarked2()
This will open the current file in Marked, but will leave us at the shell with "Press ENTER or type command to continue" there. We still have to press enter before we can edit the file live.
Defining a mapping
We can use a
vim mapping to call the function for us. A mapping lets us take a key combination and map it to a command. For the key combination, I like to use
<leader>, which is a user-controlled modifier in
vim. This means that
<leader> _ is wide open for use in your
.vimrc. For my
leader key, I use
, (comma), as it's near the other modifiers on a US keyboard. For
leader mappings, I like a mnemonic key combination, as it makes it easier to remember.
A good choice for this mapping, which is applicable for Markdown and for opening Marked, is
<leader>m. Our mapping to call the function might look like this:
nmap <silent> <leader>m :call OpenInMarked2()
Here's a decoder ring for what these commands mean:
nmapmeans a mapping that exists in
vim's normal mode
<silent>means the mapping will not be echoed on the command line
<leader>mis the mapping we've picked for this particular command
:callwill call a particular function
OpenInMarked2()is the name of the function we'd like to call
If you add this mapping and function to your
.vimrc, you'll see that it works kind of. You have to hit enter to get the command to actually run, and then after doing so you're left at the shell, so you need to hit enter again before returning to the editor.
Hitting enter twice
We can add a press of the enter key to our mapping using
<CR>. This acts as though the user has pressed the carriage return. We'll add two of them, as we need one to run the function and another to return to the editor. Our mapping now looks like this:
nmap <silent> <leader>m :call OpenInMarked2() <CR> <CR>
which is the mapping you'll find in my
I hope you found this post helpful. I have been using
OpenInMarked2 to help me write Markdown for 2 years now, and I think it's a cool example of how to extend
vim to fit your needs.
New Site, Who Dis?
December 31, 2018
This is the first post on my new website! You're reading this on the brand new peterhajas.com. Let's break it down.
A (not so new) domain
It's worth noting that this page is also hosted on peter.haj.as. I have had this domain from American Samoa for some time. I love the idea of domains that are people's names with no added alphanumeric characters, and this one fits the bill for me.
My own static site generator - what could possibly go wrong?
My old page was powered by Hyde. While this project provides a lot of flexibility, I felt that I was not using all of its features. I wanted something dead-simple that could enable me to write more. As a result, I wrote my own.
This site is still statically-generated from Markdown, but it's now done with a Bash script with only one dependency (a
markdown binary). This makes it easier to set up on a new machine. It also lets me really understand how the site works.
The site generates quickly, and it's been a great learning opportunity! For example, I learned how to format dates using
date (see here). I'm still learning (I don't know web layout very well, for example) but I think it's better to jump in with both feet when learning something new.
The site is missing some stuff (like RSS support), but I plan to iterate on it over time.
Hopefully I'll write more
All of this is for naught if I don't actually use the damn thing to write and think out loud.
I hadn't updated my old webpage in over 6 years. There's so much that has happened in that time that I want to write about, like:
- I have a dog!
- Living in the Bay Area
- My obsession with dotfiles
- Music that I'm listening to
- Trips I've gone on
- Pictures I've taken
Fingers crossed I'll write about these things in the (near) future on this page.

Photographs for Sale at Dolphin Art Gallery, Wantage
Over the last week, I've been working with the Dolphin Art Gallery in Wantage to showcase a small selection of my limited edition photographs. Having spent a lovely sunny bank holiday Monday down in Sandbanks with a couple of good friends, Claire and I decided to take a walk before sunset to make the most of the extra day off. I couldn't help but steer our route by way of the Market Place in Wantage, to go past the gallery.
It was great to see some of my photographs taking centre stage in the window – they look fantastic with their double thickness mounts and I'm now excitedly awaiting feedback as customers start to make comment on my work. I decided to show a selection of images from both the local area and abroad. There is also a new photograph which hasn't before been displayed anywhere – Red Arrows over Uffington – which I am sure will bring back a lot of great memories of last years Uffington Country Fair to many people, as well as anyone who has seen the Red Arrows in action.
All of the photographs are heavyweight fibre based giclée prints, signed, numbered and provided in a double thickness mount with the Certificate of Authenticity on the reverse. If you'd like to know more details please either contact me or pop into the gallery, where we would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

The congress of the Tallinn district of the Social Democratic Party that was held on Wednesday approved the candidate for the post of mayor of the capital – Rainer Vakra.
According to the words of the candidate for the post of the Tallinn head (from the Social Democrats) - Rainer Vakra, the mayor can be called successful only when all kids have happy childhood. That is why the main priority of the Social Democrats in Tallinn elections are children and their future.
According to Vakra, 80 kindergartens in Tallinn have to be repaired, and this is almost two-thirds of the total number of capital's kindergartens.
"The main goal and promise of the Social Democrats in these elections are to straighten out all the kindergartens within four years," - said Vakra.
"But that's not all. In addition, all children should be well-fed, and they should eat healthy food. We will provide free meals in kindergartens, so that no child is hungry, " - added Vakra.
"Also, we have already launched a program for the early learning of languages at kindergartens. We are sure that every additional language that was learned at kindergarten, will increase the competitiveness of children in the future, " - Vakra stated.
"I am glad that all other parties are in solidarity with us on this issue. Learning of Estonian in Russian kindergartens is a natural process for us. Our plan goes further - we want to invest in children, by giving the child in each kindergarten the opportunity to learn the second language," - added Vakra.
The first party numbers in the districts will be announced in coming weeks.

Dear All,
Base on reading from previous discussion, the usable space is about 48% of the RAW HD size (excl. SSD for caching purpose)
However the sizer doesn't tell the actual usable capacity.
For the first VxRail, the following VM are also needed and will take up extra space from the VxRail cluster.
I am wonder if the optional parts: RP fro VM, CloudArray and VDP, can be ignored if customer is not intended to use them?
Or such VM cannot (or should not ) be deleted from the VxRail cluster?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi Donald,
The VMs for VDP and RPVM (and ESRS and CloudArray for that matter) are only deployed in a VxRail cluster if the customer explicitly installs those services. If those services aren't installed, then the values in the table you reference in your post can be ignored.
Hi Donald,
The VMs for VDP and RPVM (and ESRS and CloudArray for that matter) are only deployed in a VxRail cluster if the customer explicitly installs those services. If those services aren't installed, then the values in the table you reference in your post can be ignored.
So What would be a good estimate to provide customers with when asked the question "How much usable capacity can I expect from a VxRail Appliance?"
Also, I remember someone mentioning that the FTT setting on a hybrid appliance is set to 1 by default and cannot be changed. Is this true or can the customer specify the FTT setting per VM and choose between FTT=0,1,2 and 3?
I'll answer the easy question first. FTT value can be set per VMDK in VSAN on all VxRail models (the all-flash models also offer EC-1 and EC-2 as choices).
The quick, unqualified answer to how much usable capacity can I expect with VxRail is "up to nearly 50% of raw capacity" for hybrid systems and "up to nearly 75% of raw capacity" for all-flash systems.
In order to provide a more accurate answer, you need to understand your customer's workload:
What FTT or EC value?
How much of the allocated storage actually be utilized on average?
How many IOPS?
FFT and EC value obviously have a huge effect on usable capacity.
The latter two questions pertain to the amount of slack space (headroom) that's required. VMware has a best practice for VSAN to leave 30% of the formatted capacity (before FTT) unused as slack space. That slack space is intended to prevent any capacity drive from exceeding 80% utilization. When that happens, VSAN automatically rebalances the datastore, and that can consume 15-20% of the available IOPS. You cannot turn off this automatic rebalancing, but you may be able to reduce the chance that it happens by regularly manually invoking a rebalance in off-hours.
In my opinion, 30% slack space is overly conservative, as it's only really an issue if the rebalance occurs while the VxRail cluster is running over 80% of its performance capacity. If VxRail is running at less than 80% of its performance capacity, then 15-20% fewer IOPS being available for the workload shouldn't affect the performance of a workload.
Furthermore, since VSAN by default thin-provisions storage allocated to VMs, and by default doesn't allow storage over-subscription, it's unlikely an automatic rebalance will occur if the VMs actually utilize on average less than ~75% of their allocated storage. I believe it's fairly common for storage utilization to be significantly lower than storage allocation, especially for VDI.
I hope this helps.
This is incredibly useful! Thanks a lot Richard!

Small Screened Porch Decorating Ideas – A small porch could be just as beautiful and charming as a massive porch when you keep the scale in your mind. It's possible to make the most of a small porch with the fantastic layout when installing and fantastic decorate when dressing up an existing porch. If you are installing a new porch, you will wish to be certain that it is in proportion to the magnitude of the home and the porch roof must reflect the exact same basic shape as the principal roof on the home. You might also need to think about porch columns, porch wall, decking and the ceiling.
Porch columns are a great accent and decorating piece to actually give your small porch a punch. They could help give your porch a look of a larger porch by set the columns in pairs. They also look fantastic when paired with rows of spindles or curved balusters. A porch wall is another design idea that can add some privacy to your small porch. If you've got a low wall built that ends at roughly the exact same height as the first-floor windowsills it can really framework your porch and look amazing.
small screened porch decorating
Porch decking must include wood that's rot and pest resistant. Select a material that's durable and yet appealing. Your porch will become quite a bit of traffic and you don't wish to be constantly repairing your decking. An attractive layout suggestion is to lay your decking in a picture frame layout and possess the outer edge parallel to any steps. Paint the porch ceiling in a whimsical or enjoyable pattern. Needless to say, you may want it to have an identical look and feel to the rest of your backyard decorating, but use your creativity to make it exceptional.
emejing screen porch decorating
Front porch decorating is where your own personal style actually comes out. You can create your small porch inviting and intriguing in lots of ways. You can use chairs which are either weathered or fancy and add plenty of flowers or potted plants to create a lush feel. There are pediments in various patterns and designs which you could place over the doorway along with decorative moldings for a comprehensive look. Naturally, you can always change up your small porch decorations to reflect the seasons, such as wreaths or baskets with flowers.
There are also seasonal banner and wall ornaments which you could add to your regular decorations. Stepping stones with your children's or grandma's foot prints, hand prints, or titles is another personalized component which you could add. Lighting is another way to change up your entrance porch decorating. There are many functional, useful lighting fixtures which can increase the attractiveness of your porch. They range greatly in design and price range, so have a look online or in specialty catalogs and stores as you begin to plan the look for the small porch.

Cannabdiol CBD : Will it interact with other supplements?
Cannabidiol has become one of the UK's most popular health food supplements. Since CBD is legal in the UK, many people are using it to supplement their endocannabinoid system.
However, it's completely natural to worry about CBD side effects, and those of different CBD products. Research is still ongoing as to how CBD interacts with other specific food supplements or medications. We know that CBD oil, for example, is rich in essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals, healthy fatty acids, so it's possible that CBD would work well with other food supplements, improving overall wellbeing.

It was added on 18 July 2017.
Reyna's magical beach-building experiments have had yet more unexpected consequences, as dune fractures have opened up around Gielinor.
From 00:00 UTC on 19th July until 23:59 UTC on 24th July, find a large fracture north of the Lumbridge Crater, and smaller ones around the world.
Channel your power into these to close them and earn XP in Mining or Runecrafting, plus reputation that can be exchanged for awesome new teleport animations themed after those skills.
There's a daily cap on how much XP and reputation you can earn from the fractures, but if you want to unlock the rewards quickly or turbo charge your XP gains, Treasure Hunter's here to help.
For the duration of the event, dune menders will be available on Treasure Hunter: consumable items that not only allow you to exceed your daily cap, but also multiply the XP you gain from the fractures by 25!
Have fun, and we'll see you in game!

Have you ever heard a band cover "Ace of Spades" at 8 a.m.? If you were one of the few hundred or so people packed into Lodo's Bar and Grill at 19th and Market yesterday, you can proudly answer yes. If you remember it.
KTCL's annual St. Patrick's day party, Keggs & Eggs, went off again with more green beer and whiskey than coffee in folks' mugs. Reno Divorce was the opener -- going on just about 7:45 a.m. -- and the band who did that anthem of rock and roll by Motorhead. Also on the bill were Darling Thieves and makers of catchy pop -- and incredible music videos -- OK Go.
Photographer Aaron Thackeray was there bright and early and brought back these photos from the party: Kegs N Eggs at Lodo's, St. Patrick's Day 2011.
Below are a few highlights.

Our guiding framework
Our guiding framework is anchored in a territorial approach that recognizes the spatial diversity of rural development opportunities and challenges as a means to reduce rural poverty and inequalities. We draw on community-based and gender-sensitive participatory approaches to promote the active participation of women and men in development processes, where voices are amplified to influence decisions.
Creating a world where rural institutions are vibrant and inclusive – and where people are empowered to access equal opportunities – requires coordination and cooperation with stakeholders; access to rural finance and market-oriented pluralistic services; and community mobilization and collective action through a territorial development perspective.

Our inland trip
We have now reached the coast and are resting at Coffs Harbour. We consider our inland trip completed except for the Birdsville Innamincka leg of the journey not realised. We will make up for that sometime soon.
Here is a rough outline of where we have been on this trip.
Our around OZ trip on the outside of Australia was completed in 2011.

Fuel Tracker
For those of you who don't yet know about it, there is an online fuel tracker at SpritMonitor.de which will allow you to register and monitor your G's fuel consumption.
How can I add my consumption as you did? :oops:
Thanks a lot, I've sorted out.
Cheers Angelos
sorry to be a pain but whats the magic calculation to get from l/100km to mpg?
Just added my car to the list. 19.5 mpg on my first calculation.
im trying to do the code so i can add my 190 fuel but its not working, im doing the html one and it just writes it out and doesnt do the little mpg thinger, what am i goin wrong?
thanks, i was doing the wrong code, its the BBCode!
now you can all jealously look at my mpg for a few seconds before realising its from a little saloon and not a nice g!
Fu----g horrendous fuel consumption for a "little" saloon :shock:
Our 461 automatic "G" does the same mpg as that :roll:
And I still "squeak"
getting better, and i didnt change my driving style, but took a different route to the mrs' house which cuts out a steep hill, about to fill up again, can he improve his average, 26 to beat!
i like SUV i never trailed gwoa AC Compressor it is looking awesome

Half an hour later Emily was on her bed, lying on her stomach. The green book—journal, whatever it was—was open and propped up against a pillow. Emily's lips moved as she read.
The clock in the kitchen ticked loudly as she kept reading until late into the night. Her eyes began to get tired and she put the book down and lay her head against the pillow.
What was it with that Alyce anyway? Was she just bored? Or was there really witchcraft? Witchcraft! Imagine if there really was such a thing as witchcraft. If there was I would create my own very best friend.
Emily wondered if there were more books about witches in the school library. Tomorrow she would go and look. She felt a tingle of excitement and picked up the book again.
As she turned the page a small booklet fell out.
She picked it up carefully. The pages of the booklet were old and musty. Emily opened it to reveal what looked like a simple handwritten poem on the first page.
By circle one begin my spell
By circle two my love will dwell
By circle three bring her to me
By circle four for evermore
Repeat this spell three times every night to get your heart's desire—by light of the third moon following the solstice your true love will be revealed but beware for the untrue heart will turn this spell into a curse for all eternity. It can only be undone by a stitch of true love's hair.
Use with caution was scribbled in pencil down the side of the page. Emily turned page after page to reveal more of the same. There were strange symbols drawn all over the booklet.
Was this poetry or—or was it really a spell book? There was no such thing was there?
She ran her fingers over the symbols, tracing the shapes of interlocking circles and triangles. There was a faint tingling in her fingertips, like static electricity. She quickly pulled her hand away.
Maybe it was just her imagination. With the tip of her index finger she traced the symbol again—no, it was definitely tingling. Then she thought she heard whispering again. She quickly put the booklet back between the pages of the green book and put the book under her pillow. Her heart was racing as she rolled over and turned out the light.
Moments later she sat up and pulled the book out again. She had to find out more. She opened it up and began reading,
The crescent represents the waxing and waning of the moon. Crescent is derived from the Latin word creare which means to create, so the crescent moon is linked with the creative power of the mother Goddess. Eastward pointing horns indicate a waxing crescent.
Emily turned the page and kept reading.
Pentacle—its apex points upward toward the divine Goddess. It also suggests the importance of five aspects—earth, air, water, fire and spirit.
By the time her mother came home later that night Emily had fallen asleep. Mrs Wells smiled as she pulled the doona over her daughters shoulder. She didn't notice the green book poking out from under the pillow.

Matthew de Lange Trail Warden Walk Diary- Part Deux21st November 2016
NDW Diary 4 October
Another splendid warm sunny day for my walk from Boxhill to Merstham. Lovely start with the stepping stones across the stream at the foot of the hill (not to be missed literally or metaphorically). Being on glorious Boxhill, took me back 50 years to the heroics of our geography teacher. Boggy Marsh. He rescued Brown of 2A who had ignored his advice to take care on the path and had slid 8 or 10 yards down the hillside. Well played, Boggy! (Oh how imaginative we were with our nicknames)
In contrast to the previous day, the path today was constantly steeply up and down, sometimes narrow and treacherous - so it was slow going at times. Mostly under trees with tantalising shafts of sunshine. I stopped briefly to chat to a man from the National Trust who tends the goats at the Brockham lime works (more famed for its bats than goats) - now there's a job!
Stunning views await at Colley Hill and a most unexpected and beautiful rotunda with a mosaic of the stars and planets. And from there just a short walk to Reigate fort. If Boxhill had reminded me of my schoolmates of 2A, the fort took me back to the same schoolmates a few years on with whom I played Diplomacy. Reigate fort was built in 1898 to defend us against the threat of the French - our allies in the Great War just 16 years later. Of the boys I played Diplomacy with all those years ago, one went on to be a Defence Secretary and another a British ambassador – not surprisingly I lost.
Shortly before the fort is a poignant reminder of the Second World War where wooden wing tips mark the spot where an American flying fortress smashed into the hillside. From wood to stone a mile on where 10 standing stones - each with a challenging quotation- commemorate the end of the second millennium. By which point I was certainly grateful that from Colley Hill to Merstham 3 miles or so on is all downhill!
5 October Merstham to Oxted
This 8 mile stretch was very pleasantly accomplished in the company of my long time and excessively sporty friend, Paul, for whom this was just a stroll in the woods. Actually this stretch IS pretty much all a stroll in the woods. A couple of ascents but nothing too tricky and some wonderful viewpoints - particularly on this crystal clear day when at different points we could easily see to the South Downs one way and well beyond Wembley Stadium arch the other (a rare Northerly view). At a wonderful viewing spot by Oxted quarry we stopped for a lengthy chat with an elderly gentlemen immaculately turned out in country tweeds who had returned wistfully to the scene of his earlier life - a splendid source of information about the vista before us and its stories. Apart from that, little delayed us and even the constant presence of the M25 didn't detract from a lovely day's walking during which we passed from the Western to the Eastern hemisphere (as marked by a plaque).

The company has announced a new non-automotive division focused on energy and power, which is expected to drive numbers. Bosch will also be focusing on exports to counter the slowdown even as they plan heavy investments in India.

If you're worried about getting pregnant, learn how Chinese medicine helps increase fertility. Many holistic health practitioners find acupuncture and Chinese Medicine very effective for all sorts of health issues, including getting pregnant.
Here's one naturopathic doctor's experience with acupuncture and getting pregnant.
"I find acupuncture extremely helpful with patients dealing with infertility, whether they are going through assisted reproductive procedures or just trying on their own," says Dr. Mubina Jiwa, BSc., ND, Director of Essence of Health in Toronto, Ontario. "These days, many people are diagnosed with 'unexplained infertility.' Chinese medicine and acupuncture is very helpful in supporting and re-balancing the body."
Below, she and acupuncturist Nancy Winlove-Smith describe how Chinese Medicine and acupuncture can increase fertility levels and help women get pregnant.
For more information, read The Essential Guide to Acupuncture in Pregnancy & Childbirth– it's a wonderful resource for pregnancy, acupuncture, and holistic health.
Chinese Medicine for Fertility and Getting Pregnant
"I had a 38 year old female patient who had been trying to get pregnant for three years prior to seeking assistance," says Dr Jiwa. "She decided she would try intrauterine insemination to get pregnant. The first time, she didn't get pregnant, so she came to see me." This naturopath explains that they did six sessions of acupuncture once a week, then four sessions of acupuncture twice a week. They also did a session before and after her intrauterine insemination procedure.
This patient didn't get pregnant that time, but said she felt less anxious and more prepared for the intrauterine insemination. So, she continued with the acupuncture treatments. "We did a similar set of sessions prior to her next cycle," says Dr Jiwa, "and she brought in a pregnancy test result to show me a few weeks later!" Getting pregnant with acupuncture worked for this patient – and she's not the only one.
As Dr Jiwa says, Chinese Medicine and acupuncture is very helpful in supporting and re-balancing the body, and can be especially helpful when the diagnosis is "unexplained infertility."
How Acupuncture Improves Fertility
Certified Medical Acupuncturist Nancy Winlove-Smith explains how acupuncture works for women with fertility issues: "The insertion of needles for women are specific to the reproductive organ sites. The needle's function is to increase blood flow by bathing the area in additional nutrients and hormones found in the blood stream. The result can be measured by the increase in follicle and egg production, which has been confirmed by a number of my clients. Some women have anatomical differences that can interfere with optimal blood flow when positioned near or touching other internal structures found in the pelvic region."
Winlove-Smith also says that diet also plays a crucial role in fertility and getting pregnant. If the blood supply does not contain quality nutrients, the eggs produced may not be of good quality. Acupuncture is only one part of the process to a successful conception – and an acupuncturist often offers dietary recommendations in addition to the "needle treatment."
How Diet Affects Fertility and Getting Pregnant
Dr Jiwa says, "Most people are surprised to realize what a significant impact diet has on your health. People know intuitively 'you are what you eat', but when they actually see the results they are often amazed."
She finds food sensitivity testing to be very important for a variety of conditions – including infertility. Food sensitivity testing can help headaches, irritable bowels, generalized inflammation/aches and pains, and many other health conditions.
"In my mind it is important for all individuals because any irritation to the body by these foods can cause inflammation, which is the basis of many health problems – especially chronic health problems," says Dr Jiwa. "If we determine these factors early we're a step closer to prevention."
This naturopathic doctor says that acupuncture works with most people, but she wouldn't recommend it for people who are anxious about needles. "Even though acupuncture might have an overall positive effect on the body, I think the anxiety caused by the needles would be more harmful to the body than the positive effect."

Outdated schematic management processes cause a large bottleneck for the design group. These processes are often based on tools that are not up-to-date with current design methodologies and technologies and are therefore limited in what they can do. In the same way that a compact car isn't going to be able to pull a heavy trailer, using an outdated management system isn't going to be able to handle the heavy work-load either.
Fortunately, there are design systems available that will expertly manage your libraries and eliminate the bottlenecks. This will considerably reduce the amount of lost time and money due to bad in addition to reducing the stress on your design staff and improving department morale.
Bad Will Cause You a Lot of Pain
Have you ever had a great idea for a design only to find out that you can't make it work the way you expected it too because the component you were depending on was built incorrectly? Or, have you ever completed the most intricate PCB layout only to find out that you need to rip up hours or even days' worth of work because of a bad footprint? I think that most us have all been there.
I once worked with a design group that told me that they would spin the board a handful of times in order to "iron out" all of the part problems. should be able to be updated easily and swapped out for different if needed, but they should not be "expected" to be bad in the first place.
And what about the structure of the data itself? Some systems combine data from various sources to build but maintain those different structures in the final elements. Although this does allow you to amass a lot of different data, it can also end up causing you problems when you use those in the tools. Will they have simulation data that is usable? Will the symbol recognize and be synchronized to the footprint?
More and more we are seeing management systems that can tie into part vendors directly through a cloud connection for component data and information. The problem is that this technology is often an extra cost item, and after the initial purchase price of the PCB CAD tools the design teams are hesitant to spend more money. As a result, many design teams find themselves using the same old-fashioned management processes prone to error.
It's easy to understand that an incorrect can cost a lot in redesign time, but there's a lot more potential damage that can lurk beneath the surface that you should also consider.
When you are at this stage, you can't afford to discover that you've got bad
The Hidden Dangers of Poor Schematic Management
First, there's the cost of management. management consumes both personnel and system resources. If your management process continues to produce that aren't trustworthy, then you are wasting a lot of time and money on a process that could be better.
Incorrect , whether they are schematic symbols or PCB footprints, can cause a lot of problems. A bad part will cost you time in the redesign in order to fit the new part in. This wasted time could lead to schedule slippage eventually affecting product introduction and hurting sales. Like a row of dominoes, the impact of bad introduced at the beginning of the design cycle can have growing repercussions further down the line.
There is another cost to consider too, the pain that redesigns cause for the design staff. As designers, we've all been through the redesign cycle due to feature creep or changing priorities, and we are used to that. But when a designer is forced to re-think a major portion of the design due to a problem that shouldn't have occurred in the first place, it is extremely demoralizing.
The Better Way to Manage Your PCB Libraries
These problems can be resolved by using up-to-date schematic management processes and a PCB design system designed to help you with a contained management system. Instead of wasting time and money on a system that continues to produce untrustworthy , you and your design team will have confidence in your data. Instead of planning on board spins to find and correct faulty , you spend more time actually designing.
Instead of storing external data in their source formats and structures, the best design systems today rely on a data structure where the data is designed to all work together. Schematic symbols are associated with their footprints and simulation data, and they are all contained in the same data format to make them easily accessible for all of the tools in the design system.
As we have seen, many tools today will have a cloud connection to part vendors to supply you with up-to-date component data including information like part availability and pricing. The best tools will make cloud connections integrated of their whole design system. This way you can begin using these tools with technology that will give you the most up-to-date part information possible from the start.
The best CAD software works with all elements of your in a unified data format
The Best Solution for Superior Schematic Management
Since updating our management practices to leverage the capabilities of Altium , I have found that we no longer have to worry about part integrity. The are built and maintained in a structured that has been designed for proper containment. Altium Designer® features a unified data model that ensures that the that we build will work together throughout the entire design process.
The that I place on the schematic are fully synchronized through the unified data model with their PCB footprints and simulation models. Additionally, you will be able to pull part data and information and use that in the construction and maintenance of your libraries. Whether it is symbols, footprint/footprints, 3D model, SPICE model, IBIS model, Purchasing data, supplier data, or any and all metadata - Altium has it synchronized and available.
For the best relief to your painful management problems, look at PCB design software like Altium , built on the strong foundation of a unified data model. Altium has been created to best serve the needs of designers like you with their management capabilities as well as their host of other advanced design functionalities.

Arbory Bar & Eatery
Flinders Street Station, 1 Flinders Walk
03 9621 2260
It takes some clever thinking to take a long-forgotten train platform and reimagine it as a lively bar and eatery.
Luckily for the people of Melbourne, the HQ Group and Metro Trains have done just that, creating Arbory Bar & Eatery, the city's longest bar, just steps from the Yarra River.
Designed by Jackson Clements Burrows Architects, the 150-metre space was artfully redesigned with an emphasis on timber cladding. Spreading from the Princes Bridge in the east, all the way down to Southbank Footbridge in the west, it's home to two bars, a bustling kitchen and plenty of seating – making it the perfect spot to spend some time in the sun.
As with most pubs, bar service is the way to go here. However, unlike most pubs, Arbory is open from early breakfast through to late-night drinks, dishing out a casual and approachable food menu that champions local produce.
Start your morning with a coconut chia pudding with vanilla macerated pineapple, passionfruit, strawberry and yoghurt, or try something a little left-of-centre – the savoury French toast perhaps? It's served with asparagus, poached eggs and hollandaise sauce. Pair it with a latte or cappuccino, or wait until midday to try the cocktail version – espresso martini – available on tap.
Around the same time, the menu expands to delicious sandwiches and burgers for lunch, including the crumbed mushroom and halloumi burger, served with tomato relish is a two-hand masterpiece sitting alongside crinkle-cut chips. The double cheeseburger has also been crowned one of Melbourne's favourites, combining two patties, bacon, pickles and tomato relish in a two-hand masterpiece.
There aren't many combinations better than a burger and a beer. Luckily, Arbory has the latter covered with a number of craft beers and ciders from Australian breweries. The 'on tap' range also extends to a red and white wine, and an Aperol spritz, which combines prosecco, Aperol and soda, served with fresh orange over ice.
Summer days are best spent trying a variety of different drinks, so once you've exhausted your tap options, turn to the cocktail list, where multitudes of other delicious flavours are on offer. This includes the Yarra Sailor – a fresh combination of spiced rum, vodka, fresh apple juice, lemon and a dash of honey.
When the sun starts to set, the food menu also includes a selection of small and large sharing plates, including pea arancini with goat's curd and mint, and king prawn risotto with preserved lemon pangrattato and basil. These offerings change seasonally, as the kitchen team makes the most of what they can find at the markets for menu inspiration.
Arbory Bar & Eatery has it all: delicious drinks, daring design, a fantastic menu and an impossible-to-beat location. With the hustle and bustle of Flinders Street behind you, you'll feel like a true Melburnian in no time.

Students spoke out against the Binghamton University administration during an open forum on freedom of speech Wednesday afternoon, criticizing the administration's lack of response to recent controversies.
The forum, titled "Campus Speech: What are the Limits?" was held at the Anderson Center and hosted by Jonathan Karp, chair of BU's Faculty Senate and associate professor of Judaic studies.
The panelists included Karp; Jermel McClure, the president of the Student Association (SA) and a senior majoring in political science; and Suzanne Nossel, executive director of PEN America, an organization that aims to defend freedom of expression and works with universities throughout the nation.
The event followed recent controversies concerning freedom of speech on campus, including a homophobic article published by the Binghamton Review and police response to students posting contentious flyers at the University Downtown Center (UDC). The flyers condemned racist incidents that occurred on campus during this academic year.
The HDEV Emancipation and Activism Taskforce (HEAT), the student collective that was responsible for posting the flyers, sent out a statement to the College of Community and Public Affairs on Wednesday morning.
"By posting flyers and continuing to have conversations about racism, we were exercising our civil right to free speech, which was recently supported by President Harvey Stenger himself," the statement said. "Ironically, our peaceful actions were immediately criminalized while all these messages of support were being circulated around campus."
Before the panel discussion, Nossel spoke about her experience working with universities and said college campuses have been undergoing a dramatic change in demographics, which is inevitably changing the discourse at schools across the country.
"The assimilationist model that prevailed for decades when campuses first began to integrate is being tested," Nossel said. "Increasingly, diverse student bodies are asking universities to revisit traditions and established practices in order to take better account of the needs of students today."
After Nossel's talk, Karp mediated a discussion between the panelists, prompting questions about the ways that students view freedom of speech on college campuses.
The discussion turned into a Q&A in which attendees were given a chance to comment and ask questions about the content discussed during the forum.
Dominic Davy, a first-year graduate student studying public affairs, voiced his frustration with the direction of the event and its lack of focus on recent campus issues, including the police response to students posting flyers at the UDC.
"I came here excited, thinking we were going to talk about recent events and put a face on certain problems that are affecting students, but I'm shaking and my voice is shaking and cracking, not because I'm nervous but because I'm really upset," Davy said. "We're talking about issues in a very ambiguous and hypothetical way. Things are happening. People are feeling unsafe here, people fear retribution for speaking up and utilizing that free speech that we're encouraging."
Davy also asked why an SA-chartered organization like the Binghamton Review was allowed to publish hate speech. But McClure said the SA cannot pick and choose which organizations are given money. He said the SA Executive Board did what they could by condemning the Binghamton Review's homophobic article.
Kalissa Sawyer, the president of the Latin American Student Union, the vice president of SHADES and a senior majoring in human development, said she was disappointed that the forum was not addressing the issues students of color are facing on campus.
"Every single year that I've gone here, something has happened that has hurt my community," Sawyer said. "A racial incident has happened and the administrators have done virtually nothing about the problems we face and instead they hid behind silencing our voices."
During Nossel's response to Sawyer's comments, Davy and several other students spoke out from the audience, questioning the effectiveness of this forum and demanding more action from the administration.
Karp said he believes there should be other forums in the future to address the issues put forth by students.
"This is a chain of experiences and it reflects a wider perception among a sector of the student body that there is a great deal of racism and other kinds of bigotry and discrimination on campus that aren't being adequately addressed by the administration," Karp said. "Now, is that true? I'm sure there is some truth to it, but I think the truth of it has to be elicited through info, facts, debate and discussion. And this forum couldn't do that, but we should have other forums to address that."
