Public Reacts To Proposed Liquor Cap Lifting On Guam
Former senator: alcohol licensing laws already violated
By Louella Losinio
HAGÃ TÃA, Guam (Marianas Variety Guam, April 30, 2013) – The amended version of the "Responsible Alcoholic Beverage Control Act" – which lifts the liquor license cap on Guam– has produced strong reactions from some community members who voiced concern over the perceived lack of public input and the law's possible impact on the island.
An earlier version of Bill 88, authored by Sen. Michael F.Q. San Nicolas, exempts only premises located in Hagåtña and the Tumon-Tamuning area from the alcohol license cap set by current law.
However, the amended version introduced last week would lift the cap for all municipalities and also introduce new fees that would support the necessary government services needed to mitigate potential negative impacts to the community.
Current law limits the number of general alcohol licenses allowed to only one for each 200 inhabitants of the municipality where the establishments are located. Both Hagåtña and Tumon-Tamuning have exceeded their limits.
Attorney John Thos. Brown has stated his objections to the measure in his submitted testimony, stating the bill is a "knee-jerk reaction" to the Alcoholic Beverage Control licensing board's rude awakening to the fact that Guam law, as most all other laws, actually provides a limit on the number of on-sale and off-sale liquor licenses.
The bill, he said, ignored the larger intent behind the original law, which is "to protect the general welfare and mitigate the impacts of retail establishments which sell alcohol."
He added the measure may have an increased overall impact to the island by allowing more retail establishments to apply for a liquor license.
Citing statistics in a study conducted by the Washington Policy Center in 2011, Brown said Guam's existing density ratio of only 200 inhabitants per licensed outlet allows 2.5 more licenses than Wyoming, which is the least restrictive state in the report.
"If Guam's tiny limitation is decreased or repealed entirely, Guam will stand alone among the states in the U.S. as the only jurisdiction with no regard to effective numerical density regulation."
Referring to the report, Brown said "not one of the states shows a density ratio so loose as Guam's existing limit of one outlet for every 200 inhabitants."
If the limit is repealed, he added, "Guam would stand alone. Is this how the legislature – the administration – seeks to distinguish our island?"
He also questioned how much notice was given with the introduction of the amended bill and if enough time was given for the public to know and be able to provide dialogue and input.
He said he encourages the committee chair, Sen. San Nicolas, "to drop efforts to facilitate the proliferation of liquor outlets and think more about the community interests expressed in the many studies done on this subject, if not the intent so plainly stated in the bill."
"It is already the most irresponsible jurisdiction in the country when it comes to regulating retail liquor outlet density. Don't make it worse," Brown said.
Meanwhile, former Sen. Larry Kasperbauer also echoed Brown's concern about the perceived fast-tracking of the hearing for the bill. Although there was a request for public input, he said, there was not enough time to gather comments from the community.
He also voiced concerns about the violations already taking place in terms of the issuance of liquor licenses.
"According to the census, there are some 19,000 people in the municipality of Tumon, which means you can have around 100 alcoholic beverage licenses in the area. At this time, I was told by a staff member of the Legislature that there were about 400. So the law has been violated and continues to be violated ever since we brought this to the attention of the Alcoholic Beverage Control licensing board," Kasperbauer said.
With the new license fees taking effect in 2015, he said little money would be generated from the proposed rates.
Based on the amendments to the licensing fees, San Nicolas is proposing an increase of $200 per alcohol license every two years, beginning in calendar year 2015 to conclude in the year 2023. By then, he said, the increases would go up to a total of $2,000 per establishment.
"Also, anybody who qualifies for a liquor license can get one and there is no limit to the number, which means that much effort is needed to monitor these establishments," Kasperbauer said.
To throw out any ratio at all, he said, makes the island the worst case example in the entire United States.
"We have senators who say they want input from the stakeholders. We have senators who say that they are for the family. I hope that they would stand up and fight for the chance to get public input," Kasperbauer said.

Turkey, Brazil energy investments can be $440m by 2026
The oil and gas sector is expected to absorb 71.4 percent of this total, Brazilian ambassador to Turkey says
The potential for bilateral energy expansion between Turkey and Brazil is evident with projections of $440 million in investments in energy infrastructure by 2026, Brazil's Ambassador to Turkey told Anadolu Agency (AA) on Wednesday.
Speaking exclusively to AA, Ambassador Eduardo Riccardo Gradilone Neto said trade relations between Brazil and Turkey have witnessed a rebound from $1.8 billion in 2016 to $2.2 billion in 2017.
"This result is attributed to the improved economic performance of both countries which, in 2018, should provide new opportunities for expanding trade and investment," the Brazilian ambassador said.
Energy sector cooperation is one of the topics that the economic and trade promotion sectors of the Brazilian Embassy are following, he asserted, adding that this is also a topic on the agenda of the Turkish-Brazilian Economic Cooperation Commission that meets periodically to identify trade and cooperation opportunities between Turkey and Brazil.
He explained that the oil and gas sector is expected to absorb 71.4 percent of the $440 million total, 26.2 percent is anticipated for the generation and transmission of electricity, and the supply of biofuels is set to increase by 2.4 percent.
"The dynamism of the Turkish economy, which has grown at rates above the world average in recent years, and the Brazilian regulatory environment are parameters to guide the estimation of business expansion in the Brazilian electric power sector in the coming years," he added.
– $1.18 billion revenue achieved in auctions
Auctions are the main form of energy contracts in Brazil that are carried out openly with the participation of Brazilian and foreign companies. The winners are defined by offering the lowest tariff with the aim of promoting efficiency in the contracting of energy, Neto explained.
"In the oil and gas sector, for example, the 14th auction round, held in September 2017, provided revenues of over 3.84 billion Brazilian reais (approx. $1.18 billion) in bonuses, according to the National Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels Agency (ANP)," he said.
He noted that altogether 17 companies amassed areas for exploration, out of which seven are foreign companies.
In the bidding round, 37 blocks were acquired for exploration and production of oil and gas while three bidding rounds will be held in 2018 and 2019 each year, according to the ANP.
The largest signature bonus in the auction round was 2.24 billion Brazilian reais (approx. $690.8 million) offered by the Petrobras-ExxonMobil Brazil consortium.
– Share of renewables to reach 48% in 2026
Official data estimates that Brazil's energy supply, which is necessary to advance the economy, will reach 351 million tons of oil equivalent (Mtoe) in 2026, based on a growth estimate of 2 percent per year, according to Neto.
"Of this amount, renewable sources can reach a share of 48 percent in 2026. In Brazil, the participation of renewable sources in meeting the growth of energy consumption in the coming years was prioritized," he said.
Almost 45 percent of primary energy demand in Brazil is met by renewable energy, making its energy sector one of the least carbon-intensive in the world, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). AA

Artists Statement
My work looks at liminal spaces and otherwise unnoticed places.
Motorway verges, public footpaths, windowsills and front gardens are all coerced into landscapes. These images speak of a romantic urge to control and contain, all the while describing the wilderness of the other, escape and the search for the horizon.
I am interested in what landscape means to us today, exploring our experience of such and what it means to us in the digital age. Influenced by eighteenth and nineteenth century book and periodical illustration, I am interested in ways that information is given the authority of knowledge and how knowledge is transposed through memory, nostalgia and archetype.
I see parallels between the challenges brought about by the sudden plethora of images and information that new printing techniques and the early beginnings of mass media in the eighteenth and nineteenth century brought about, and those of GoogleMaps and our own digital age.
My work spans a range of media, including etching and engraving, painting, writing, sculpture, installation, sound, performance and film. It is held in private and public collections including V&A, Government Art Collection, British Library, Royal Shakespeare Company, Royal College of Art, Ashmolean Museum, Sir John Cass School of Art, Ministry of Culture, Thailand and Guanglan and Guangdong Museums, China.

Brit Arts new wave: the successors to Hirst and Emin The Independent, July 22nd, 2011
"Primarily focused on landscape, Dolores de Sades works are concerned with memory, nostalgia, myth and narrative. In the context of modern industrialisation she questions what landscape means to us today and how it is distilled through popular media.
Romantic landscapes are deconstructed by the artist as authoritative models of beauty and sublimity as aesthetic paragons and cultural archetypes born out of nostalgia and reverie. These timeless pastoral visions, which have haunted our imaginations since the 18th century, are for de Sade problematic exemplars: idylls untouched and unspoilt by the emergence of modern industry, stand contradicted by change and technology.
Her work acknowledges that while the pastoral ideal served a transcendental purpose during the Industrial Revolution, it was in fact propagated by the very technology that revolution spawned: the advent of steel engraving in the 1820s, for book and periodical illustration popularised Romantic landscapes to the emergent mass reading public. Technology, then, may be a catalyst for a fantastical retreat it may trigger a perverse introspection that shuts out the modern world, rejecting the mediations of popular culture. At the same time, however, it may be a handmaiden, a technical facilitator, of artistic production. Multiplied and circulated, yet a product of the imagination, the printed image is the perfect example of this paradox, and which de Sade eloquently embraces to explore the disparity of our fantasised visions and material experiences.
With the intricacy and application of her engraver forebears, in fastidious etched lines she deftly emulates the tradition of crisp topographical details and classical tropes. Vistas are framed by trees, leading the eye into bucolic worlds; bridges and stairs transport the mind to uncharted places. Yet, these are uncanny visions of low life elevated as high art. Dolores de Sades beautiful, Arcadian views are not set in the classical past; they represent prosaic modern subjects: motorway and A-road verges.
Exalted as sites of dreamy delectation, these typically unromantic subjects question what we know and understand about todays blemished environments. In an age of proliferating web imagery, online aggregators and virtual mapping, such places are on the one hand highly visible meticulously quantified and exhaustively navigated. But, on the other, they are peripheral. The mediation of the World Wide Web and satellite navigation systems classifies such environments as utilitarian constructs; we see them through a monocular lens of expedient travel. Our reliance on modern technology thus diverts our attention away from other perspectives. But such places might be re-viewed and reclaimed, as near-forgotten natural realms that once again feed the imagination, as the focus of different kinds of knowledge. The authority of route-planning is duly challenged by de Sade as she re-evaluates and sees these discarded worlds on foot, at grass-roots level. The Grand Tour of yesteryear persists with undimmed optimism in her post-industrial prospects."

Global Capitalism, FDI and Competitiveness
The Selected Essays of John H. Dunning, Volume II

Chapter 15: Globalization: The Challenge for National Economic Regimes
The Selected Essays of John H. Dunning, Volume II
John H. Dunning
* INTRODUCTION The role of government, as an organizing force in a global market economy, is coming under increasing scrutiny. Yet, in spite of a widespread eagerness to contain or reduce the extent of governmental intervention in the management of domestic resource allocation, it remains a fact that the countries which have recorded the most impressive economic performances over the past three decades are those whose governments have exerted a strong and positive influence over all aspects of commercial affairs.1 This chapter addresses just one, but an increasingly important, aspect of this enigma, viz. the implications of the globalization of business activity for the economic sovereignty of individual nation states. In particular, it considers the implications of the globalization of business activity for the organization and management of location bound human and physical assets. Its main thesis is that the pace and direction of technological, political and institutional change, especially as it has affected the extent and character of international transactions, is demanding a systemic recasting of the traditional role of national governments as custodians of the economic welfare of the citizens within their jurisdiction. Central to this thesis is the premise that, as a result of the dramatic growth in the cross-border linkages forged by multinational enterprises (MNEs), the latitude for autonomous and purely domestic oriented actions on the part of the governments of nation states – that is to say actions which only affect the constituents of those states and not those of others – is being severely curtailed. Increasingly, too,...

"I Don't really Like to exercise". I mean, seriously, It's hard work and It takes way too much time! What I can't figure out is why do people go to the gym? Not only do they go, but they seem to NEED to go, maybe even love it. Some even act as if they couldn't operate without it. Whether they are running their butts off, playing tennis daily, or working out in the gym every day or a combination of all of it….THEY LOVE IT! WHY?
What have they figured out that I haven't? What is their motivation? Why do they endure the sore muscles and the endless workouts that eat up so much time? What is It?
If you let me share some of my experiences with you maybe you can see it a little more clearly. Now, I'm going to put aside "looking Better". Even though this is a great motivator for some…maybe all that work out. It isn't enough to get some people going. I want to dig a little deeper and maybe give you real life reasons to get started today.
#1. Work out because it make you happy…. Literally ! You will feel happier after a workout. Immediately after the workout. Study after study after study all show that the increased release of the feel-good hormones during and after a workout is undeniable. This means YOU can feel better today! Do your knees hurt, maybe low back? How about depressed? Have you been feeling a little low lately? Working out can make these things feel beter immediately! Even if its all in you head. I don't know about you but I could really use some more feel-good hormones today!
#2. Working out will make your life easier. Working out can make you stronger, leaner ,and happier. Overall you will be more capable. Your Boss will see the difference. Your Spouse will see the difference. Your friends will see the difference. Training increases your capabilities, that is the Law of Progressive Overload. If you slowly increase the demand on your body by running a little faster or further. Maybe lifting a little more this week than you did last week, you WILL GET STRONGER and more capable. The next thing you know you are stronger, leaner, more balanced and just better overall.
#3. Workout for your Family and Friends. Not to get to serious but the people that love you, that are closest to you, depend on your energy, your support, and your happiness. When you let your body slowly decline in capabilities(we all decline, a fact of life) due to inactivity you are doing them a disservice. If we focus on keeping our bodies healthy, happy, and strong then we will be there for our loved ones longer. And in reality that's the important stuff!
In conclusion, I want to let you know that the discomfort of starting a workout routine can be minimized by hiring a professional to help you start slowly and targeting the things you need to work on the most. If you want to start but havent got a clue please contact us so we can help. If you have started a workout routine in the past but can't seem to keep it going I want to ask you to give our team a chance to help. we have a solution for your situation.

Because of the whole Twilight movie hype last month, I wanted to make a card featuring Edward and Bella. There were so many new stamps, all were very cute! But my faves have to be the oldies-but-goodies from The Greeting Farm because Edward's hair is right on!! LOL!
I also entered this card for the DT call over at TGF. I didn't make it, and I'm ok with that because so far, I am loving the new Premiere Farmers -- their work is so stunning and their creativity is stellar!
I did a semi-scenic card here. I have been obsessed with woodsy-themes lately (see my other recent forest card here).
I mean, the woods is only appropriate right? A lot of my favorite scenes from the movies happened there. I wanted to make it ultra-romantic and also show my love of mixing patterns. I used floral and lacey elements along with linear and masculine colors.
The stamps are TGF's WS Camille and WS Edward. The papers are mostly from Basic Grey, and the beautiful flower on the top left corner was made by Cathy from Catshy Crafts.
Also, please take note! There's a special sale at Sparkle Creations!
Have an awesome day!

1. Anything you actually wore in high school, even if it still fits. (As if!)
2. Maternity clothes. (I'm talking mainly to the ladies here, but guys, you should listen up, too.) Yes, it's true, wearing clothes purchased in Target's maternity department, when you are not indeed pregnant, certainly is comfy—or so I have been told—but there's no need to start rumors or unduly startle anyone at your 35th high school reunion. Although it could be a terrific ice-breaker.
3. That orange jumpsuit you were issued a few years back due to that "youthful indiscretion." It's not flattering because that hue is SO last year. Or SO last 5 – 20 years with time off for good behavior. Anyway, jumpsuits went out when Cher stopped wearing them. Wait . . . she's still wearing them? Well, they're out. Trust me.
4. Anything from Old Navy.
5. Your prom dress. (Same goes for those bridesmaid dresses we were told would be wearable in another venue. Um, no.) Wearing your prom dress to the reunion practically guarantees you'll be wearing the same thing as another former classmate. It'll be prom night all over again—and you know what that means: look, if I had a nickel for every time someone dumped a bucket of pig's blood all over me at prom because we were wearing the same dress—I'd have a lot of nickels. It's just so immature. Who wants to go through that spectacle again? Leave the prom dresses in the back of the closet where they belong, or risk huge dry cleaning expenses. Getting pig's blood off satin is a bitch.
6. Your favorite little black dress that's, well, a little too little. There is a fine line between sexy and grotesque, and 35 years out from high school we all should know where that is.
7. Non-matching shoes. This fad never caught on, although I tried mightily to make it seem cool that day I got dressed in the dark and came to school with one brown shoe and one black one. C'mon! Work with me here, I pleaded. But you didn't.
8. Your school colors. Showing up looking like the school mascot won't play well. Although wearing the red and gold Bruin costume will help to hide the 25 pounds you've packed on since high school.
9. Anything from Forever 21. Because, let's face it: if you're headed to your 35-year reunion, you're not even close.
10. Anything animal-print. ladies—and gents too, I suppose. Are you listening? Try to suppress the urge to unleash your inner cougar. Rawrr.
Wish me luck.
I will give a full report after the affair. I only hope it does not get canceled, but there is a good chance it may, because it is scheduled for October 22—which is, unfortunately, the day after the Rapture—Take Two. (Remember when Rapture One was supposed to happen on May 21? Well it didn't. So now we take our chances that this reunion will be a non-starter. With a ticket price of $100, it better take place or I will be pissed.)
But who am I kidding? It's the RAPTURE. I'm not going to be raptured anywhere. As a matter of fact, as I think about my fellow classmates and some of their antics in high school, I think we'll be all right. Most of us will remain unsaved, sitting right at the bar after all the sizzle and flash is over. The only thing I worry about is the bartender. I hope he or she is a huge sinner. Because I would really hate it if the bartender got raptured up before I got a drink. And God knows, I'm gonna need one.

Ok, I was finally able to go back and take a better picture of this billboard. I think this shot tells a great story how the ball field is about gone and this is the only piece remaining. At least on this day. At the end of the week it was still there.
This is the scoreboard for Ray Winder Field, Home of the Arkansas Travelers. The baseball field has been there, well, actually long before I was born. We won't go there, but you get my point. Many games were played on long hot summer days and nights. The city decided it was time for it to go. It has been a long process in demolishing it but it is almost complete. When I saw the saying, "Call it Quits", I felt that urge to take the picture and I did but as you can see, not a good photo.
Anyway, why should I care if they tear this down? I don't know the answer to this question. I can not get a grasp on it. I don't even like baseball. I might have gone to five games and that might be stretching the truth. Maybe I know they are just going to make a parking lot out of it. In my opinion to destroy something with a lot of history for a parking lot doesn't make a lot of sense. Maybe it's because it has been here for so many generations and with it gone, my grandchildren's children will never know about it. But then, since they won't know, they won't know what they missed.
I often wonder, back in the old days, when process was creating changes in towns or places, if people often thought like I do. I imagine some may.

"Sister Tastes so Good"
Starring Shavelle Love and Mary Jane
Shavelle and Mary have lusted after each other for too long and finally their wanton urges for each other have come to a head. Mary lowers the cup of her sissies dress, their heavy breathing undulating from their parted lips Mary wraps hers around Shavelle's nipple. Shavelle responds in kind and rubs Mary's pussy through her daisy dukes. She removes the denim and continues through Mary's cotton panties. Pulling them down, Shavelle works her way down her sister's sexy body down to her pussy, and parts Mary's lips with her tongue taking in her saccharine juices. Shavelle rubs her sis's cunt vigorously, reading the signs of her body signaling her eminent cumming. Pushing Shavelle back, Mary returns the favor, eating Shavelle's snatch as Shavelle pushes her hand through Mary's thick black hair. Shavelle not one to give up control so easy, pushes her sis back onto the couch and licks and rubs her some more until Mary lets out soft whimpering moans as she cums.

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — Our restaurant reviewer Morty Eatowitz just checked in from the impregnable island fortress he time shares with Justice John Roberts to report that one his favorite restaurants in Boca, Nick's New Haven Pizza, is now offering a spectacular breakfast pizza.
Says Morty:
For years, Nick Laudano (Owner of Nick's) has been making a Coal Fired Breakfast Pizza for friends and family. The pizza features eggs, cheeses, garlic and your choice of bacon or sausage. Nick recently decided with the encouragement of those who've had it, that now was time to share the pizza with his loyal restaurant fans. Last month we debuted the Special Coal Fired Breakfast Pizza to rave reviews. We are currently serving the pizza only on Sunday's from noon until 4pm.
Nick's New Haven is just east of the Boca Town Center Mall, in Glades Plaza, at 2240 NW 19th Street.

Benefit of dating – being introduced to new bands, books, TV shows, etc. For one – I'm LOVING Steep Canyon Rangers, courtesy of my most recent date. I'm especially loving a Pandora station created with Steep Canyon Rangers, Luke Bryan, Phillip Phillips, and Bruno Mars; I highly recommend it. (Ron Pope)
Awkward things about dating vanilla guys when you're kinky (or maybe just when you're me):
- Explaining how you met your friends
In most vanilla circles, you meet friends from one of the following avenues: college, grad school, work, through a family member/friend/coworker, through an alumni/young professional group, through a religious or ethnic association, or through intramurals/a class. Saying you met through Fetlife or a dungeon event is totally out. Happy hours and classes work, but prompt the "what kind of happy hour/class" "can I go to those happy hours," leading you to potentially incriminate yourself.
- Explaining hobbies
I love to write, and it is one of the few hobbies that I engage in regularly. Unfortunately, letting slip or disclosing that I love to write prompts the "what about" question…but my writing primarily consists of a regularly written-in intimate blog and erotic fiction. My fiction isn't romance and flower erotica either, but rather explicit and very obviously kinky (teasing and denial, M/s dynamics, bondage, and sadomasochism are frequent themes). Sharing erotic stories with a lover isn't a stretch, but sharing these with a vanilla lover would be incriminating.
- Explaining collections or items in your house
As a result of my interest in bondage and shibari, I know a lot about knots and own a helluva lot of rope. Unfortunately, while I've crocheted I don't have many crocheted items as proof, and while I'm interested in sailing, I haven't done it much, leaving me with a lack of ways to explain all the stuff. I can hide it, but that only goes so well.
Most guys love to find their girlfriend's sex toy drawer, and some of the items are fun for two no matter the kink level – a feather, lube, vibrator. The nipple clamps, paddle, and wartenburg wheel might get some questions, though. Again, I can hide it, but that sucks.
- Explaining the difference between furry handcuffs fantasies and participating in the kink community
That awkward moment when you have to explain that being kinky isn't just handcuffs in bed, but involves parties where sex could be happening, whips and knives abound, and the outfit of choice is lingerie.
Explaining multi-day kink events, and trying to figure out whether or not it's cheating/lying to not disclose the type of event before going on a prolonged "camping trip."
Wanting to be spanked lightly during sex and wanting someone to beat you until you're bruised is different. Wanting someone to enjoy beating you until you're bruised – even more different. Sadomasochism opens up a whole new can of worms.
Being interested in D/s or M/s with a vanilla partner is tricky, even if they're into it – explaining the responsibilities of being dominant, the nuances of power exchange, and trying it out as the more-experience submissive partner can be a communication nightmare.
- Explaining your sexual history
Do you count play partners as sex partners when there was no direct sexual contact, but you were almost fully unclothed? Where's the line? Discussing how some kinks feel sexual but don't involve direct sexual interaction is complicated and can go quite poorly.
- Hoping to find someone open-minded and into it, but not too into it
I want someone to whom I can confess – with little to no embarrassment – "I want you to have me helpless, torment, and hurt me" who may actually want to do that, but also who isn't keen on punching me in the face or raping me in a back alley.
Drawing that line of "Just because I'm interested in X,Y, and Z and I may have done X, Y, and Z with other people doesn't mean I'm interested in doing Y with you."

Have you ever thought that you're stuck no matter how hard you work to improve your English? This is what is called the intermediate plateau.
In a nutshell, you hit this plateau when you reach a level where you could barely notice your progression. Because when you start learning a new language you feel it when you learn new things. The reason is that everything's new to you and you could measure how much you learn.
But when you reach that plateau you either give up or continue to work on improving your skills to reach the advanced level.
Don't give up 😀
In this article there are some helpful tips that will help you to get off it so start right away!
1. Keep listening 👂
Try to listen to English as much as you can. Find materials that you could understand 80% of them. I also recommend trying to listen to what native speakers listen to. Luckily there are tons of podcasts to choose from. (Recommendations: Apple – Acast – Stitcher)
2. Read everyday 📚
I recommend reading only two pages everyday (if you are not into reading) but if you're a good reader read a full chapter everyday. I think that the best way to read everyday is to read using Scribd (paid) or NYT (free)
3. Watch TV series or YouTube videos 🎥
Watch TV series with or without subtitles and try to forget about learning English when you do so! Because you're going to acquire and pick up linguistic skills subconsciously. Enjoy what you watch and just make it a habit!
4. Record your voice/ a video🎤
Try to record your voice when you have the time. It's ok to do it once a week. And most importantly try to listen to yourself speaking. This way you'll be able to practice.
5. Forget about grammar 📖
Yes grammar is important and vital in order to speak correct English. But don't just think about it all the time. The best thing to do here is to understand the rules and make sentences! Yes don't study boring rules. Just read out the sentences that you make a lot, and you'll acquire the rules again SUBCONSCIOUSLY.
And remember,
As long as you keep going, you'll keep getting better. And as you get better, you gain more confidence. That alone is success. ~Tamara Taylor
All the best 😉

In today's newspaper, we have a story about the Dolphins potentially looking like a much different team in 2012, even if a lot of the players will be the same.
One of those changes will be on defense, where the Dolphins are likely going to switch to a 4-3 base scheme, even after finishing No. 6 in points allowed this year (19.6 per game).
The Dolphins will still use some 3-4 sets – most teams in the league play both schemes based on the game situation – but will have to retool their defensive personnel this offseason.
So how will the defense look under the new scheme? Here's a look at the potential depth chart, using only players that are under contract (Kendall Langford and Paul Soliai are both free agents):

text: NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- U.S. stocks turned higher in volatile mid-morning trade Friday, with low volumes ahead of the Memorial Day holiday and weakness in the dollar helping drive continued gains in commodities and related energy and materials stocks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.22% gained 32 points, or 0.4%, to 8,323. The S&P 500 index SPX, +0.91% rose 3.5 points, or 0.4%, to 891, and the Nasdaq Composite COMP, +1.00% was up 5 points, or 0.4%, at 1,701. The dollar continued to fall against the euro, which jumped back above $1.40, a new high for this year. A weak dollar helps boost the price of dollar-denominated commodities. On the S&P, the energy sector rose 1.3% and the materials sector gained 1.4%.


text: With a ceremony at St. Mary's in San Francisco and reception at the Julia Morgan Ballroom, everything about this celebration of love was classic, touching, and beautiful. The toasts were the most heartfelt and emotional I've heard in a long time. (Check out the passionflower on the cake!) I love being a wedding photographer at The Julia Morgan Ballroom. The art deco detailing in the building is the perfect backdrop for wedding portrait photography. Also, around the area there are gorgeous buildings as well to take either your wedding couple portraits or your group formals portraits. Such a spectacular day as the sunset peeked through the windows of the top floor of The Julia Morgan Ballroom while everyone danced and toasted this beautiful couple! xoxo

The Nemu Nemu no Mi is a non-canon Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that grants the user the ability to make anyone fall asleep. It was eaten by Noko in the video game only, while in the anime, the powers were attributed to the seahorse who hypnotized Noko, but the fruit itself was never mentioned.[2]
- Nemu is derived from "nemuri", meaning "sleepy" in Japanese. It is called the Sleep-Sleep Fruit.
Strengths and WeaknessesEdit
This fruit's only power, as demonstrated by Noko, can put an opponent to sleep through hypnosis.[1] With the seahorse flute's power to manipulate memories, the fruit can become much more powerful.[2] This power almost defeated the Straw Hat Pirates.
In the games, it was stated that to use this power, Noko must first blow his flute to activate his powers, which is likewise similar to what is shown in the anime.[1][2]
This fruit does not seem to have any specific weaknesses, and even more so, he is not affected by the Devil Fruit users' usual weakness of not being able to swim. The reason for this is never made clear though.[1]
Noko mainly uses this power to put his opponents to sleep and absorb other peoples' dreams and to take control of people. However it is shown that if he is hit the memories will start spilling out of his body and back into those to whom they belonged. He also turns down the food Zoe offers him, saying he eats left over memories.[1]
Stealing Sleeping Peoples' DreamsEdit
An unnamed ability shown in Episode 220, Tatsu was played like a saxophone by Noko which allowed him to steal the memories of those sleeping within earshot of the sound. When "played", Tatsu would make a low, mournful sound. Those with their memories stolen would be able to partially remember the sound and the person who played Tatsu. Whether or not Tatsu can be remembered is unknown as he was never mentioned. It is likely that people would pay no attention to the toy-like creature but to the player instead.[2]
- Hypnosis: Another unnamed ability used by Tatsu, which was used to control both Zoro and Noko. Those affected by the hypnosis may not be able to recall what had just happened, as shown by Noko when he broke free from the spell.[2]
- Last Resort: The closest thing to a name given to this ability, Tatsu creates a blue-white 'explosion' which takes the memories of anyone caught within the radius of the blast. Unlike the 'Saxophone' technique, this move takes every memory that those caught have.[2]
- Spectral Images: Tatsu has the ability to make the images of people appear within a purple mist. He used this on the Straw Hat Pirates by showing them their loved ones (Shanks, Portgas D. Ace, Kaya, Bellemere, Zeff, Hiluluk and Kuina) and also past enemies (Crocodile, Enel, Arlong and Kage).[2]
- Transforming: Using the Straw Hats' stolen memories, he was able to change himself into a large balloon-like version of himself. In this form he claimed he was a dragon. Any physical damage done to him while in this form causes him to lose whatever memories he has gained and return to his normal state. In addition to this, he also has no combat powers while in this form and is actually more vulnerable as a result. The sole advantage of this form is that it allows him to fly.[2]
- This fruit is similar to the canon Memo Memo no Mi, as both has the ability to steal a person's memories.
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 One Piece Games — Ocean's Dream, Noko using the power of the Nemu Nemu no Mi.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 2.6 2.7 One Piece Anime — Episode 220, Tatsu showing characterizations of the Nemu Nemu no Mi's powers.

TWO teenagers whose lives threatened to go off the rails told yesterday how a North Wales project came to their rescue.
Rhyl 15-year-olds Ryan Griffiths and Chloe Owen outlined their troubled past to magistrates, police, probation officers, council officials and politicians.
Other speakers at the Llandudno youth justice conference were Assembly minister for social justice Edwina Hart, Conwy AM Denise Idris Jones and chief probation officer Carol Moore.
They were told a secure centre for teenage tearaways is unlikely in North Wales, because local authorities cannot afford it.
Professor Rod Morgan, chairman of the national youth justice board, said many youngster got into trouble because they came from dysfunctional families.
The audience saw a film highlighting work undertaken by the youth offending teams and the impact on the offenders.
Among the offenders were Ryan and Chloe, part of the Rhyl youth inclusion project.
The former pupils of Blessed Edward Jones High School said they enjoyed taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme.
Both have undertaken courses including healthy eating, food hygiene and food preparation.
"I particularly enjoy the health eating part because I want to be a chef," said Ryan.
Carol Moore said North Wales was consistently among the top performing areas in the country for dealing with persistent young offenders, taking an average of 48 days to deal with cases, compared with the national target of 71.
North Wales Conservative AM Mark Isherwood asked if a secure unit for young offenders could be set up in North Wales.
But Professor Morgan said it was highly unlikely as the vast majority of the 150-200 juveniles in the South Wales unit came from that area.

We recently hired the Skelpit Lugs for our Senior Christmas Dance on December 22nd 2010 at McLaren High School and we could not have asked for a better band. Their toe tapping material got everyone up dancing and provided great entertainment for the whole night. The music was very upbeat and enjoyable, with clear instructions which got both pupils and teachers filling the floor and made the evening even more amazing. We would recommend the Skelpit Lugs to anyone looking for a fantastic ceilidh band.
McLaren High School senior pupils 14th January 2011
The Skelpit Lugs played at our wedding reception at Ashfield village hall on 20th November and they were truly magnificent. The music they play is great and they excel at getting all of the guests up and on to the dance floor by giving clear instructions. We had guests from many different countries at the reception and all of them commented on what good fun they had, and how they would love to ceilidh dance again. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Skelpit Lugs to anyone!
Andrew and Lisa McCrone 24th November 2010
The Skelpit Lugs were great (Sloan's, Glasgow on 10th October 2010). Got the crowd in the mood for dancing right away, and with great humour called out with dance steps when needed and added a bit of song for variety. More than one of our guests said it was the best 21st party they had been to.
Lynn Tully 18th October 2010

Are Interest Rates Approaching the Breaking Point?
In markets, we often hear of these precise levels, beyond which everything is said to unravel. The so-called "breaking point."
Their allure is undeniable. If such a point existed, one could fully prepare for it in advance, exiting unscathed before the stampede of the masses.
Over the past few years, the most popular "breaking points" have been related to interest rates.
Starting with the first Federal Reserve hike in December 2015, which was said to be the "breaking point" for the economy/bull market, the predictions have been unrelenting. Hardly a day goes by now without some pundit throwing out a level on the 10-Year Yield (3%, 3.5%, 4%, etc.) or Fed Funds Rate (2%, 2.5%, 3%, etc.) that is said to be the level.
Do these "levels" have any basis in fact? Let's take a look…
The 10-Year Treasury Yield is currently at 3.2%. After subtracting inflation of 2.3%, the real yield stands at 0.9%. Are such figures of any value in predicting equity market tops? Not exactly.
The table below illustrates the starting 10-Year Yield (nominal and real) at each of the Bear Markets in the S&P 500 going back to 1929. What you'll notice is a total lack of uniformity from one Bear Market to the next. In 1946-47, stocks declined 28% from a starting 10-Year yield of just 2.21%, while in 1980-82 stocks declined 28% from a starting 10-Year Yield of 12.72%. Real yields show a similarly wide dispersion, with Bear Markets beginning with extremely low/negative real yields (1948-49) as well as extremely high real yields (1932-33).
The average 10-Year yield at the start of a Bear Market (5.04%) is not meaningfully different than the average in all periods going back to 1929 (4.97%). Neither is the average real 10-Year Yield (2.44% at start of Bear Market vs. 1.86% in all periods).
Data Sources for all Charts/Tables Herein: Robert Shiller, FRED, Bloomberg.
What about the Fed Funds Rate?
Is there a magic level at which policy becomes "too restrictive" for markets? Again, not exactly. In 2011, stocks declined over 20% while the Fed was about as easy as it has ever been (0.2% nominal Fed Funds Rate, -3.4% real). Contrast this with July 1998, when the Fed was much more hawkish (+3.9% Real Fed Funds Rate) and stocks declined by roughly the same amount. The current Fed Funds Rate (2.19%) is still extremely low on a historical basis (4.90% average since 1954), but that fact should not serve as an all-clear to investors. A bear market can start at any time and at any level, regardless of Fed Policy.
That's not to say that higher rates and more restrictive monetary policy does not act as an impediment to economic growth or stock market returns at times. It certainly does. But to suggest that there's a precise level upon which this will necessarily happen is simply not how this game works.
When it comes to markets, there's no such thing as a "breaking point." The level at which investor appetite shifts from risk-seeking to risk-aversion changes each and every day. And it's the culmination of a multitude of factors, only one of which is interest rates.

WeeklyBeats.com / Music / george bowles's music / Tactile - Amped Up Bronchodialator
so i have had a theme so far when i do upload... things at my mother's house. this track features a stuffed animal with a very low battery. so everything is stretched out and sounds like a chiptune synthesizer.
my collab project Tactile uses field recordings, remixing of another's work, hiphop beats, synthesizers, and other noises so this was the field recording add on. i just set my zoom recorder on the stuff animal and let it record for a while. it's that burbly high pitches noise at front of the mix just over the more midrange textures.

This Unit has addressed the issues that need to be confronted when organising intervention works to or managing the historic built environment. It has, hopefully, provided you with guidance by example of how you might best implement and control the procurement of services and undertake work to an asset; how to implement a conservation action plan and manage a site of significance. It has, hopefully, managed to get you to question your established understanding of how conservation thinking impacts on intervention strategy.
There will be many disciplines involved in a site's conservation, one person cannot combine all, but you must have knowledge of the way in which each discipline works and produces results. Subsumed within each independent discipline is the knowledge that other professions and workers may have evolved different ways of dealing with the same subject. Some clarity of understanding of how other disciplines operate is essential if work within the building industry is to be properly structured to respond to the need to supply services and product to users of that composite service. This fact is of particular relevance to work within the historic environment. A closer relationship/understanding of this symbiotic process and how it might affect significance forms essential data when intervening on or within the historic environment.
The aim of this Unit and the other four Units in this series has been to clarify the specific factors influencing all who work within the historic environment. Not only to alert you to the specific philosophies and ethical principles that are accepted by consensus, but also those factors that are more secular in nature but wield an influence over conservation, how the composite operates and how the whole should be incorporated to protect the historic environment and facilitate its ability to respond to decay and deterioration as well as the need for change and modernisation in order to survive in a rapidly changing world. This in order, and at the same time, to preserve and protect the narrative that the historical environment offers to this and future generations in gaining an understanding of history and the factors that have shaped our society.
If there is one lesson to be learned from absorbing the contents of these 5 Units it is hoped that you will have gained an ability to recognise that the historic environment is not just about the built form of it. The built form is only a manifestation of and a complex of human interaction and the process of events that we identify as history. It is a symbiotic process reliant on the interaction and interchange of events and human development. The built environment can only be a reflection of and present as a palimpsest of the events and actions that have shaped history. History can only be assessed in retrospective analysis; the future is open to speculation. It is your role to allow the future to judge what is important and why without imposing your own, possibly subjective values. It is the retention and protection of the historic environment as a record that is the raison d'être behind conservation. You must, right now, take responsibility for this for the benefit and enlightenment of future generations.
It is well worth reminding ourselves of the ICOMOS view point on conservation training and education contained in their Guidelines on Education and Training in the Conservation of Monuments, Ensembles and Sites. as follows:
"There is a need to develop an holistic approach to our heritage on the basis of cultural pluralism and diversity, respected by professionals, crafts persons and administrators. Conservation requires the ability to observe, analyse and synthesize. The conservationist should have a flexible yet pragmatic approach based on cultural consciousness which should penetrate all practical work, proper education and training, sound judgement and a sense of proportion with an understanding of the community's needs. Many professional and craft skills are involved in this interdisciplinary activity."
You should also refer to Article 5 items a to n of the Guidelines to gain an understanding of how competence should be judged and measured. View ICOMOS Guidelines for Education and Training
A thought from John Earl,
"The conservation of historical structures is not a mechanical activity controlled by hard and fast formulae which, correctly applied, will produce demonstrably correct solutions. The decisions which have to be made daily by the practitioner raise philosophical questions at every turn."
Preceded in 1926 by Powys, A. R. in Repair of Ancient Buildings:
"I have found that it is not wise to lay down dogmatic rules, for when they are made one is often confronted by a case where they do not work."
"We shape our buildings and afterwards our buildings shape us." Winston S, Churchill
And finally, from John Earl,
"… whatever your personal role in the conservation process, remember that, for the time being, the building, the ensemble, the street or the town is under your protection. It is a heavy responsibility and one which had better be faced philosophically."
Earl J (1997) Building Conservation Philosophy Reading, College of Estate Management.

A ringing, roaring, clicking or buzzing sound in one or both ears. Tinnitus is not a disease. Rather, it is a symptom of a disruption or defect in the auditory system, which includes the ear, auditory nerve and parts of the brain that process sound. Tinnitus is associated with many health conditions, including the buildup of wax in the ear canal, noise-induced hearing loss, ear and sinus infections, diseases of the heart or blood vessels, Ménière's disease (a chronic disease of the inner ear), head injuries and brain tumors. It may also be caused by emotional stress and is associated with depression.
No one knows exactly what causes tinnitus, but scientists believe that it could be a result of the brain's neural circuits trying to adapt to the loss of sensory cells by amping up sensitivity to sound. Damage in the inner ear might change its signaling activity, throwing neural circuits out of balance.
There is no cure for tinnitus, but certain measures may help alleviate it. In people with hearing loss along with tinnitus, hearing aids may make the tinnitus less noticeable. Counseling may help reduce stress and insomnia related to tinnitus. Sound generators—small electronic devices that fit in the ear—produce a soft, pleasant sound to help mask the tinnitus. Antidepressant and anti-anxiety medications may improve mood and help people sleep.

How much weight will I lose? : it really does depend on how much weight you have to lose in the first place and how well you stick with the programme. I have seen 3-4 kg lost in the first two phases (2 weeks and 2 days) through to a staggering 10kg. For most people the first two phases sees the most dramatic loss in weight after which point is does slow down a bit. One lady on the plan at the moment has lost 7kg and she is a couple of weeks into phase 3 (more relaxed phase where one weekly treat meal is allowed) and is half way to her total weight loss goal.
Your home and work environment. If you are surrounded by people who consume a typical American diet at home and work, you may have a harder time sticking to this plan. Most common foods (starchy carbohydrates like bread, pasta, rice, baked goods) are not included in a ketogenic diet. Cravings for these foods may be difficult and even intolerable at times.
If you think this programme could be right for you and you're considering making an investment in ending your weight loss struggle once and for all – then we'd love to talk with you. We invite you to call us on 0333 200 2612, or click this link, and schedule a free no obligation 'slim and fit for life' exploratory call with one of our weight loss coaches to discuss the suitability of this programme for your needs. What have you got to lose – other than a few pounds?

There are many ways which one can go about losing weight in London. Gyms are a traditional and effective way to shed pounds, and London gyms have developed excellent customer service and superior facilities. Several large chains offer branches in London such as Virgin Active and Fitness First. One of the benefits of being a member of such gyms is the ability to use different centres across the capital and indeed the country. They offer standard gym equipment, along with swimming pools, classes and personal trainers. However, do expect facilities to differ from location to location. Prices start around £40 a month for an off-peak membership. There are of course many exclusive gyms across London but these services come at a premium. For those looking for a gym on a budget, the central YMCA is a great choice. Located close to the West End, the centre boasts a £25 metre pool and several classes including boxing and belly dancing.
When a supermodel, socialite or Hollywood superstar needs to lose weight and shape up fast, who do they turn to? Every celebrity's little black book contains the names of discreet body gurus who are the secret behind those incredible, super-speedy fat-to-fit miracles. Here, we reveal the names and the secrets of the UK's top get-skinny specialists...
The free information sessions throughout the year offer education about obesity and its related health risks, detailed information about weight loss surgery options, an opportunity to meet our surgeons and members of the bariatric team and talk with an insurance specialist. Former patients are often on hand to describe their experiences. These sessions are mandatory for anyone considering weight loss surgery. Family members and friends are welcome to attend.
Phase 3: Relax: at this point you will receive a more extended food list allowing you to broaden your meal choices. This is the time when a weekly 'treat' meal is added in. Adding exercise at this point is extremely beneficial. This is when most people really start to see a difference in how they look and feel. Hunger and craving diminish and you will notice how a small amount of food will leave you feeling satisfied. Energy levels rise, skin looks glowing and all round wellbeing improves.
At your first meeting, you will meet with a medical professional for preliminary testing. Certain states require that patients meet directly with a physician for the initial consult. In those locations, you will meet with a board-certified MD (medical doctor) or DO (doctor of osteopathic medicine). Some, but not all of the doctors, have additional training or credentials in obesity medicine.
During the first phase, also called the Acute Weight Loss phase, you will eat primarily protein foods to get your body into ketosis. Calorie counts during this stage may be low. There are several media reports and reviews from patients stating that they were given daily goals in the 500-800 range. According to the company, those claims are not true:

Background Crowdfire Follow
This CrowdFire review discusses whether CrowdFire is a Worthwhile tool to help build your social media after. I also demonstrate it's helped me boost my Twitter existence! Crowdfire Follow
Some kind Of social media following is a must for the majority of new companies. But, getting things moving beyond the starting blocks (and beyond a couple of followers who are mainly family and friends), may feel like an uphill struggle.
CrowdFire came to my attention when I looked For a way to develop my Twitter account. I have been using it myself now for several months, and I'm really happy with the results. I'm therefore pleased to eventually get around to sharing them with you. Let's get started.
Click here to sign up for Crowdfire now!
What's CrowdFire?
CrowdFire Is a online utility that"plumbs in" to a social media accounts. It now also has performance for Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and Pinterest. CrowdFire helps you automate the repetitive tasks involved with gradually growing a following on social media.
For example, when I set up the Twitter Account for this website, I would spend time identifying people in the home working and freelancing markets, and follow them in the hope they'd accompany me back and socialize with me later on. CrowdFire makes it possible to find these people and makes it fast to add them. Even more it helps you keep track of people who don't follow you back or those that are inactive and not really worth following, so you can keep the list of people that you follow in check.
It does A lot more besides; It finds relevant content you can share to assist you keep your account alive and busy, indicates tweaks to your own accounts to help them function better, and does it with a very modern"bot" style interface which takes just a couple of minutes every day to handle.
I'm, in case you're not starting to guess Quite a fan of CrowdFire — and you likely will be too. Particularly when I tell you that the best aspect of : subject to some limitations, it's possible to begin with it for free. Crowdfire Follow
How can CrowdFire work?
After Allowing CrowdFire permission to handle your desired social media accounts (I mostly use it for Twitter), all you need to do is get into the service once per day and follow the instructions it gives you.
For Example, on a day, it will give me a selection of content to choose from to share in my timeline. Then it will suggest some reports for me in following me, because they have not reciprocated to unfollow. Next, I'll get a listing of new accounts that are suggested to follow because they've been tweeting about keywords that are relevant, or since they're fans of folks in my niches.
On some Days, I will get additional jobs, like feeding in much more relevant keywords, checking my automated message to individuals who follow me, or checking that the info in my own"About" section stays relevant. One feature I like is that when the machine finds I maintain ignoring a task, it will provide me the option of suspending it doesn't bother me for a short time .
Everything's Done with a very friendly interface, and it all literally only takes a few minutes a day to handle.
CrowdFire Outcomes
What CrowdFire basically does for me is almost Fully automate a task that was previously taking 20 minutes a day (and frequently not getting done because of other pressures). But I can catch two moments each day to do it.
Most Importantly, my follower count on Twitter continues to grow at a rate, and rises with followers they're people I know are interested in homeworking and design.
I decided to start monitoring my amount of Twitter followers, as well as the amount. (Keeping this ratio in line is important if you wish to maintain the"Twitter police" happy with you!)
30 days of Utilizing CrowdFire boosted my follower count . I am after 801 people now, but that number would be higher if I did not have the ability to unfollow people who aren't engaging with me. Crowdfire Follow
It's also very important to reemphasize my Followers are. They're followers that click through to the website retweet them and socialize like them. If none of those people look at your content, since there's no point using a follower number for vanity, this is important.
The numbers above prove I Can continue doing What I am doing and steadily boost my Twitter after (at least until I am following 5000 people, if things get a bit more difficult). As you can see below, I tipped on the 2000 mark!
All these Numbers alone make CrowdFire worth every penny. And it's likely to do this using the version that is free too — albeit in a dramatically slower rate , due to the follow / unfollow constraints imposed.
What Crowdfire Does Favorably
Users that gave Crowdfire a Review said that the program is a tool for scheduling posts on many accounts from a single stage. They also shared that it allows them to easily track their neighborhood and add the followers of the competitors.

CrowdFire Drawbacks
When I Sat down to write this, I knew I would fight with downsides, and in typing this up, having reached this stage, that stuggle remains!
1 recent change that's bugged me is that you used To be able to bang down on the mouse to trace or unfollow individuals. CrowdFire recently changed so that you now have to scroll down and click each green"and" icon in turn (as shown in the screenshot below).
This is Really a good thing, because it ensures you glance at who you're following. It prevents you treating the whole thing as an exercise that is automatic and being lazy. But it has made it all take a bit.
But I have to be honest — that is a criticism that is little, And that I can't think of anything to moan about. CrowdFire is just one of these tools that easy to advocate. Crowdfire Follow

Crowdfire FAQ
Does Crowdfire offer a free trial?
There was no mention of a Trial on Crowdfire's website. But users that are interested may subscribe to their plan and start utilizing their services.
Can I cancel my paid subscription anytime?
Yes. You can cancel your paid Subscription and anytime continue with your plan until the end of the billing period. Following that, your account will be converted to the Free program.

CrowdFire Cost
As I just Said, CrowdFire is available entirely free, subject to some constraints, but there are some premium options available.
It's Possible to test out what CrowdFire has to offer without spending any cash in any way, but as you can see in the aforementioned, you are limited to a single account per networking. You're also limited in indicated content you are given to share, and in terms of how many people you're able to follow unfollow each day.
I used The version of CrowdFire for a few weeks, in tandem with performing some manual after. Following this period I was very much convinced it was worth spending five bucks for the time I would save by doing everything using CrowdFire. I enjoy that you can actually"try before buying."
Furthermore, For people managing loads of social media accounts (perhaps with a company specialising in this sort of work), the Premium and VIP choices (at $7.99 per month and $33.32 per month respectively) are great value.
CrowdFire Review: Wrap-up
So that Brings us to the conclusion of the (rather optimistic ) review.
Using CrowdFire is a bit of a"no brainer" if you're keen to develop your social media profile. It helps you do the kind of things a social media agency would charge you for, but all in a few minutes every day, at a low cost or at no cost.
It pays dividends Who you are following, and it is always crucial if you are going to keep them curious that you provide content to your followers. Using CrowdFire does not do everything for you!
But if You've got the appropriate intentions to your social media, CrowdFire is a very Good way to speed along the advancement, instead of waiting for your following To grow gradually and organically. Crowdfire Follow
