Hundreds of students get into troubles being accused of academic plagiarism due to inability to properly cite their sources.
15 January, 2016
Good news! Our blog has been nominated for the best educational resource devoted to academic writing of 2016.
Research papers are one of the most critical academic writing tasks a student will face in his career. They need to be written in a formal tone a proper format. Moreover, they have no flexibility for fluff and irrelevant material. It is not like a creative writing story that you can build on your own. You need to evaluate each word you use in your paper. The research data that you include in your paper must be valid and recent. You need to make sure that the source you used for the information is reliable. Sometimes teachers specify what sources they would prefer and which places you should stay away from. If a student includes something from a source that was forbidden by the teacher then they will have to face the consequences. Even if your teacher has not restricted you to any specific source, it is a good idea to use reliable and trust worthy sites for your academic papers.
The conclusion of your research paper is the extract of your complete paper. Rather it is a summary of your paper. It is always written at the end of the paper because one can only summarize something that exists already. A conclusion is very important from the readers point of view and for the writer as well. By looking at the conclusion the reader can tell in a few minutes what is your research paper about. If you teacher looks at your topic and then goes straight to the conclusion. She can judge your paper from there. The issue that you mention in your topic needs to be addressed in your conclusion. In addition, the conclusion of your paper needs to leave a point to ponder in the reader's mind. You need to make sure that the conclusion is precise and to the point. No irrelevant data and complicated sentences are accepted in the conclusion.
If you are in a university or college and your teacher has assigned a research paper to you, then you need to figure out the format and tone for your paper. The best way for this would be
"I was totally stuck with my freshman literature term paper - I could not even gather up my sources. I found a great manual on this site that helped me and I received an A+. Thank you!"

Here are the retarded, but so yummy, cupcakes!
I used cream cheese frosting, which made me love Butter Cream forever! I don't really like the cream cheese. I used the same recipe as in the post:Chocolate Cup Cakes.
We took the edges that lopped over the sides, and we decorated the cupcakes with the edge pieces.
It was a really fun time! Next time, the cupcakes will be better made.

Traveling to the beach can be an excellent way of spending your vacation time. However, staying in traditional hotels and resorts can be a rather stressful experience, as these facilities may be extremely crowded. You can avoid this hassle by renting a house or other private residence for your stay, but you should use a few tips to ensure that your trip to the beach goes smoothly. Create A List Of The Amenities For Each Property

If you're looking to have a memorable travel experience with your family, you may be looking to plan a new type of trip. Many families choose to take part in an outdoor adventure because it can be fun, exciting, and can involve a lot of outdoor activities. If you're thinking about putting together this type of trip, you may want to rent a guest cabin. This can offer a fun and comfortable place to rest and relax while on your adventure.

When you're going on a summer vacation, if you're looking for something a little different in the way of accommodations, a bed and breakfast inn may be perfect. Each inn has its own look and style, but asking the questions below can help you learn more about almost any bed and breakfast establishment. What Should You Do if You'll Be Checking in Late? Unlike hotels, the people checking you into the bed and breakfast inn are likely to be the owners.

When you have vacation cabins for rent, your chief mission is to make each building and the surrounding area appealing to visitors. By meeting this goal, you'll be able to keep busy — perhaps with certain families returning year after year, as well as spreading the word about your vacation rental to their friends. If you don't live in the immediate area, you won't be able to take care of the rental property on your own.
29 March 2017
Vacations can be somewhat stressful — the planning, being away from your comforts of home, and not having every single thing you normally use on a daily basis. It's especially stressful if you are traveling with your family. If you're staying in a hotel room, your kids might get a little stir crazy in a small room, and you may get a little stir crazy as well. Vacationing in a rental home may be a better option for you and your family to help ease some of the stress a bit.

Diamonds are Forever
An exhibition of work by Rhonda Fenwick, Gina Martin, Lynda Cornwell, Claire Rollinson & Andy Holt as part of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations
June 2, 2012 - July 7, 2012
Facts About Diamonds
All natural diamonds are made of the same material as the charcoal you burn on the grill or the graphite in the pencil you sketch with. Carbon atoms are bonded together in groups of four in a pyramid shape called a tetrahedron. Each link is equal to every other link in size. This formation of the atoms gives the diamond its hard structure. Diamonds are the hardest naturally occurring substance known to man.
Diamonds are formed deep within the Earth: between 100 km and 200 km below the earth's surface. Diamonds form under remarkable conditions.
The temperatures they are formed at are about 900 - 1300 C in this part of the Earth's mantle where diamonds form. The pressure is between 45 - 60 kilo bars. (kB) 50 kB = 150 km or 90 miles below the surface 60 kB = 200 km or 120 miles below the surface. Diamonds are carried to the surface by volcanic eruptions. The volcanic magma conduit is known as a kimberlite pipe or diamond pipe. We find diamonds as inclusions in the (rather ordinary looking) volcanic rock known as kimberlite. The kimberlite magmas that carry diamonds to the surface are often much younger than the diamonds they transport (the kimberlite magma simply acts as a conveyer belt). To ensure they are not converted to graphite, diamonds must be transported extremely rapidly to the Earth's surface. It is probable that kimberlite lavas carrying diamonds erupt at between 10 and 30 km/hour (Eggler, 1989). Within the last few kilometers, the eruption velocity probably increases to several hundred km/hr.
All natural diamonds are at least 990,000,000 years old. Many are 3,200,000,000 years old (3.2 billion years) how do we know this? Age: from Carbon dating? No! C-dating only works for very young carbon. You need to use other radioactive decay schemes (e.g., uranium-lead) to date inclusions in diamonds. Inclusions used for dating are around 100 microns in diameter (0.1 mm).
The word "Diamond" comes from the Greek word "Adamas" and this means "unconquerable and indestructible".
Diamonds worn in ancient times were believed to promote strength, invincibility and courage.
There are white dwarf stars in space that have a diamond core. The biggest diamond known in the universe weights 2.27 thousand trillion trillion tons, which is 10 billion trillion trillion carats, or a 1 followed by 34 zeros.
The ancient Greeks believed that diamonds were splinters of stars fallen on the earth.
Diamonds - Words of Inspiration
A diamond is a chunk of coal that never gave up its work.
Henry Kissinger
As the earth dies your spirit will bloom; as the world fades your soul will rise and glisten. Amongst the dehydrated crevices of a desert earth you will stumble upon your diamonds; in between the dry skulls and cracked bones you will find your sapphires.
C. JoyBell
Angels are like diamonds. They can't be made, you have to find them. Each one is unique.
Jaclyn Smith
Invest in the human soul. Who knows, it might be a diamond in the rough.
Mary McLeod Bethune
Diamonds were nothing more than carbon, but carbon in a crystal lattice that made it the hardest known mineral in nature. That was the way we all were headed. I was sure of it. We were destined to be diamonds!

A woman at the helm of an international company brings diversity to the table, it can bring new ideas and insights but it can also be challenging for the women that take this path.

High End Plumbing Trends for Your Bathroom Remodel
Like the master bedroom since the 1950s and the media room of the last decade, the bathroom is now becoming a sanctuary. Escape . . . toilets . . . luxury . . . showers . . . of course they go together!
What San Diego bathroom would be fully functional without a refrigerated cabinet to preserve organic, locally-sourced and time sensitive creams and lotions? Keep in mind, however, that since water and electricity make a dangerous mix, getting a San Diego plumbing expert to help install the LCD monitor for your chromatherapy shower is a must. (Yes "chromatherapy" is a "therapy;" read on.)
If you're building a new home or doing a bathroom remodel, it's fun just to scan these options. While many may be beyond your budget, Perry Plumbing can help you find the less costly versions perfect for your needs. Consider these bathroom trends:
Glass Enclosed Shower
In new home communities, we've been seeing showers projecting into the (large) bathroom with glass on three sides. While this sophisticated look is stunning, we can't help but think of the work cleaning San Diego hard water spots from the panels. (Lemons–and hired cleaning people–do an amazing job on hard water stains, by the way, but that's another post.) Of course, with transparent panels, old standard tiles don't really cut it like beautiful granite or marble.
LARGE Bathrooms
Many new bathrooms are large enough to fit and wash if not your Maserati, at least your Lotus Elise. We're not kidding. In fact, here's a large glass-enclosed shower with a bathtub inside! We've seen 300- and even 500-square-foot bathrooms going into new homes in various neighborhoods along the coast.
In fact, the European trend of opening the entire tiled bathroom into the shower space has landed in the U.S. May as well keep all that water behind the glass. If you go this continental route, keep in mind the bathroom drain must be plumbed carefully, hopefully by an expert in bathroom plumbing.
Refrigerated Bathroom Cabinet
Keep all of your designer, biodegradable lotions and even the Chardonnay in the new refrigerated Robern bathroom cabinet. This cabinet has just one refrigerated portion perfect for small tubes and lotions and even drinks! Do away with the towel-wrapped, mad dash to the kitchen with a refrigerated bathroom cabinet.
High Tech Electronics
Connect your iPhone or other MP3 device and elite bathroom fixture company MTI handles getting your music through the tub walls, making speakers unnecessary. Other vendors are creating shower control systems displaying on wall-mounted LCD screen outside of the shower or bath. Before you step in, you can tap up precise water temperatures and pressures, chromatherapy colors, music and steam level.
Aromatherapy and Chromatherapy Baths
Once kept strictly in high end spa, remodeling companies are now installing chromatherapy showers and fixtures in homes. Chromatherapy shower heads seem to drop blue, violet, orange or any color water beads on your tired skin. Manufacturers believe red promotes courage, blue douses you in tranquility and violet relaxes your muscles.
Similarly, aromatherapy diffuser kits send beads of eucalyptus, peppermint, orange, cedarwood, lavender and more through your shower steam. Each sent is credited with evoking a certain mood. At Perry Plumbing, we say, "whatever floats your boat" or "clears your sinuses!"
If you need a professional whose seen and worked on all the newest San Diego plumbing trends, call Perry Plumbingat 619-472-2112. We're currently offering great San Diego plumbing discounts and specials you can use for your bathroom remodel. Interested in getting great plumbing tips you can use to increase the value of your home and stave off plumbing emergencies? Visit our website at www.perryplumbing.com!

SFGG won their third straight Northern California Series tournament, this
time beating Olympic Club 43-19 in the final.
"We had a fairly easy pool, especially compared to the other teams," said SFGG Head Coach Jone Naqica. "I thought we were looking good but so was Olympic Club."
Naqica has a large corps of talented players to draw from, and it seems a different one has a strong performance in each game.
With Mose Timoteo. Mile Pulu, and Volney Rouse leading the squad, the youngsters were able to show what they can do.
"I have confidence in the boys, and I use that to give them confidence," said Naqica. "They have the ability to put any team away, and they showed that in the second half against Olympic Club. I thought Tim Maupin [of St. Mary's] had a great game, and Danny Barrett, coming back from an eye injury, was good, as well."
Olympic Club, with USA 7s player Colin Hawley bolstering their efforts, scored early in the final and led 19-17 at halftime. SFGG stormed back to win 43-19, but it was still a good day for O-Club.
"We are starting to play better," said Head Coach Matt Sherman. "But it's been the summer of hamstrings."
Several players have been out with hamstring injuries, so O-Club has not had their best squad out there, yet. They did welcome back Rikus Pretorius this weekend and get Dustin Muhn back next week.
Muhn is slated to be co-captain of the team, along with Alex Menke, a Stanford grad who has emerged this summer. Dan Tomasi has played well at prop.
"We have climbed into contention and we are playing better and playing with more confidence," said Sherman.
Now they just have to get over that SFGG hump.
SFGG, Olympic Club, Sacramento, and San Jose will join Seattle-OPSB, Eastside, Chuckanut, and Valley in the Pacific Coast finals July 20 in Seattle.

Moving Through Easter
Posted by Dan Cassavaugh on May 10, 2014 · Leave a Comment
The journey through Easter is one of movement. It began with a stone being moved from the entrance to the tomb. The women moved from the tomb to the room where the disciples had holed up in fear. The disciples moved on the road to Emmaus and off to wait for the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.
The early church sought ways to daily live and remember the power of Jesus ministry and resurrection. As Easter people moving with The Risen On into Easter, may we as the church be inspired and devoted to prayer, fellowship, breaking bread, sharing with one another, and learning more about "The Way."
As we encounter the Risen One, this Easter the call is clear, "Christ is risen! The Lord is risen, indeed," through our words and our actions as witnesses to the power of God's love.
What is God asking of you this Easter?

The Five Best Cities for Studying Abroad in Canada
Do You Want To Study Abroad in Canada?
Studying abroad in Canada offers memorable cultural and educational opportunities. Choose one of these areas for your study abroad program.
Students who study abroad in Canada find a nearly unrivalled cosmopolitan melting pot. But study in Canada may surprise you; it offers diversity of peoples, climates, and opportunities.
Come to Toronto for a lovely campus with proximity to Lake Ontario. Toronto is the most populous Canadian city, so there is sure to be something for every taste, and quality programs in nearly every field of study.
Ottawa is Canada's capital city and has one of the youngest average populations, making it a fun and vibrant atmosphere for students of any nation.
For a bilingual study abroad program, Montreal has plenty to offer. The city is centred on an island in the Saint Lawrence River. It offers a little taste of Europe with the most restaurants per capita in Canada, and is the second largest French speaking city in the world after Paris, France. Each year it hosts over 18,000 foreign students from 150 different countries.
British Columbia offers milder temperatures than almost anywhere else in Canada due to its Pacific coastline. The natural beauty of Victoria combined with the balmy climate provides nearly endless opportunities for outdoor adventures and communing with nature.
Alberta is considered by many to be the happy medium of Canadian climate differences. Edmonton is a centre for performing arts, and draws an eclectic mix of talented people.

Bonhoeffer :: Chapter 24 The Suffering of the Messengers
Ok. It feels as though it has been a little bit since we have been in Bonhoeffer. The last few times we have read about Jesus instructions to his disciples as he begins to send them out to spread the message of the Kingdom. The sermon on the Mount gave the disciples a model: this is what it will mean to be a disciple. Now Jesus is asking them to fullfill their commission.
Jesus doesnt just tell the disciples to go out, however, he tells them how to go, what to say, and even what their results will be. And as we found out last time, those results will not always be to out liking. Jesus tells us that as disciples we will know persecution and opposition. But he comforts us by telling us that we are persecuted by because we are like him and he was persecuted. Our goal as Christians, as we discovered last time, is to be like Jesus. It is enough for the disciple that he is like his master Jesus said, and so we find success in being persecuted as Jesus was.
Lets continue reading from Jesus instructions.
Matt 10:26-39
26Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known. 27"Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. 28And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 29Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father's will. 30But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
32"Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.33But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.
34"Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. 35For I have come to 'set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law'; 36and 'a man's enemies will be those of his own household.' 37He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.
Place yourself again in the shoes of a disciple. We are being given instructions and are about to be sent out. And probably, if the disciples are like us, Jesus is starting to worry them a little with all this talk about being brought before Kings and being scourged in Synagogues. But Jesus continues on the theme of our persecution. In fact, He finds it necessary to say Do not fear three times in a row. Now I dont know about you, but when someone finds it necessary to tell me repeatedly not to be afraid, I start to worry that there is something to be afraid of. But Jesus doesnt just tell the disciples not to be afraid of those who would persecute them, he tells them to be afraid of the right things. Fear Him who is able to destroy both body and soul.
This strikes to the heart of what it means to be disciples. We see the world through different eyes. What normal people would fear is not to dismay us but instead we are to fear what is really most dangerous, even though most people cannot see it. We wrestle not against flesh and blood and the weapons of are warfare are not carnal, these are the battle-cries of a disciple. Jesus is not looking for a nonresistant people, he is looking for warriors who will recognise who the true enemy is and where the battle truly lies.
But I can imagine being even more afraid at this news. Jesus is saying, persecution isnt scary, Satan is scary.
The disciples need reassurance and comfort and Jesus offers two assurances. First, the father is watching us and cares for us. Not even a sparrow can fall without his notice and Jesus assures us that we are of more value than the sparrows. Secondly, Jesus promises that he will call us his if we will call him ours. Whoever confesses Jesus before men will be acknowledged by Jesus in Heaven. This is a comfort and it is a choice. Confess Jesus before men and risk the persecution that will follow or be silent and choose a far greater danger. Jesus calls us to see with the eyes of faith what is really scary.
Jesus acknowledges that this talk is unsettling and scary. If you are looking for a soft and cuddly savior who doesnt upset anyone, You have picked the wrong candidate. Jesus didnt come to confirm the status quo, he came to upset it. He didnt come to bring peace, but a sword. Jesus gives one example of this disruption that he brings. No longer is the family bond supreme: Jesus is supreme. Jesus will split families. We are accustomed to thinking of love for our family as an unquestioned good, and yet Jesus says that it may render us unworthy to be disciples.
Jesus has words for everyone: parents must allow their children to transfer their obligations and allegiances to Him. Children must give up relying on their parents and must rely on God instead. Everyone must follow Jesus, everyone has a cross to bear.
I would like to close and challenge you with this thought. I have heard the thought expressed that the command that children are to obey their parents is the immutable and primary way in which children and parents are to relate. It is true that it is vitally important for children, especially as they are young, to learn to be obedient to their parents. But if parents insist on a relationship characterized by command and obedience from their children as they become adults, I believe that they prevent their children from relating first and primarily in obedience to Jesus. The cross that Jesus gives your children may not be the one you would choose. And yet if your children have grown to adulthood and a relationship with Jesus they are responsible to first and foremost be obedient to Jesus.
Can we love our family too much? Jesus says we can. By Gods grace may each of us this week know two things. Whom we should fear and whom we should serve.

There are three times a year San Francisco's party schedule goes topsy-turvy: Halloween weekend (meaning the weekend folks celebrate Halloween, regardless of what day of the week Oct. 31 is), New Year's Eve and Day, and the last weekend in June, better known as Pride weekend. Accordingly, this column takes a slightly different tack during these three weekends, as the city's Party Rules go mostly out the window, and it can be tough to tell the wheat from the chaff. Each party is weighted equally, and you can rest assured any or all of the shindigs featured herein will be a cut above the rest.
The San Francisco Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Celebration — or just Pride for short — is certainly one of the city's most crowded weekends, as attendance for last year's festivities neared 2 million people (according to Wikipedia). As such, if you're planning to go out this weekend, be prepared for massive crowds wherever you go — this column may serve as a handy guide.
One thing to note: Even though this is Pride weekend, the parties listed here aren't exclusively Pride-centric. Living in San Francisco, nearly every party on any given weekend is at least a little bit gay (at least the parties worth going to, that is) — so the focus here is on excellent, forward-thinking club music, as per usual. Without further ado — read on and party on!
Other worthy parties this week
Lights Down Low and Mighty present Horse Meat Disco and MikeQ at Mighty, 10 p.m.-3 a.m. Thursday, June 25. $20-$25; mighty119.com
If you're looking to kick off a weekend of Pride debauchery, there's no better place to do it than here. Lights Down Low is throwing a Pride bash at Mighty featuring two artists from around the world with a very different approach, but a similar theme. Horse Meat Disco began as a Sunday club night in London with a disco-focused sound and a pansexual crowd that eventually became so popular the DJs began touring the world, bringing its sound and vibe around the globe. Meanwhile, MikeQ is a New York-based DJ and producer who is at the forefront of the vogue and ballroom resurgence across the States. They're joined by Myles Cooper, impresario of San Francisco's biggest little drag show High Fantasy, and LDL residents Richie and Corey.
Club Lonely presents There Are Dreams & There Is Escape at OMG, 9 p.m.-3 a.m. Saturday, June 27. $5; clubomgsf.com
If you don't want to think at all about what to do Saturday night of Pride weekend, this is the party for you. Club Lonely, a new party in San Francisco composed of local residents focusing on house music of all kinds, is throwing a little Pride Saturday shindig, this time with a couple special guests: Robert Yang (aka Bézier, Honey Soundsystem synth hero) and Charlie McCloud (aka Matrixxman, San Francisco's premier digital ambassador and exporter of pitch-perfect drum workouts). It's cheap, easy, and fun — just like you. And there's a dome above the dancefloor. And a fog machine. What more do you want?
Housepitality Pride Weekend Edition featuring Chloé, Tyrel Williams, Sean Murray, and more at Monarch, 9:30 p.m.-3 a.m. Saturday, June 27. $10-$15; monarchsf.com
Weekday warriors know Housepitality very well by now — the long-running Wednesday-night weekly has a consistently crowded dancefloor (sometimes making Wednesday night look more action-packed than Friday night) and a diverse booking strategy. Pride Weekend means it's doing a one-off on Saturday night, featuring French DJ Chloé, who has a flair for shuffling, funky deep house with a disco edge. Joining her are the Housepitality cast and crew, led by Tyrel Williams, the Chicago-turned-San Francisco transplant whose knack for mixing vinyl must be seen to be believed; also on deck are fellow residents Sean Murray, Victor Vega, and Bai-ee providing the soundtrack to Monarch's rave cave, while Joel Conway and Mike Bee commandeer the groove lounge upstairs.
Pink Mammoth Summertime Block Party with Derrick Carter, J.Phlip, and more at Mighty, noon-4 a.m. Saturday, June 27. $20-$30; mighty119.com
Now in its third year, Burning Man theme camp Pink Mammoth is hosting a massive 16-hour indoor-outdoor block party fundraiser for its annual outing to the playa. And while Burning Man parties tend to be notably Burner-centric, rarely featuring "outsider" DJs, this year Pink Mammoth has gone all out and is bringing out a stacked lineup to headline its block party. House legend Derrick Carter leads the pack; the man is pretty much the embodiment of Chicago house music. He's joined by J.Phlip, a San Francisco native and part of local tech-house label Dirtybird; Jon Charnis, an up-and-comer affiliated with Lee Burridge's All Day I Dream imprint; and local hero David Harness, whose history with house music runs deep.
Honey Soundsystem Pride Sunday with DJ Minx and Mystic Bill at Mighty, 8 p.m.-4 a.m. Sunday, June 28. $20-$30; mighty119.com
Honey Soundsystem is officially a thing. Eight years on, the four-man crew is now a global force, taking its sound and vibe on the road to clubs around the world. If you've been to any of its parties, you'll know why the group has made it internationally — the members are all phenomenal DJs with their own unique styles between them. More than just that, its parties feel like celebratory, revelatory spaces, which is why Pride Sunday is something akin to Honey's homecoming; on this night it celebrates everything it stands for: men, music, and merriment. Special guests DJ Minx from Detroit and Mystic Bill from D.C., both talented selectors in their own right.

our pumpkin is carved, our seeds are roasting, and sam's costume is complete (finished five whole days before halloween this year, thankyouverymuch). i even spent a little time making myself a fall mask out of leftover felt, though when sam asked what my costume was going to be i said i was going to wear his cape from last year and be super mommy. he had the good sense not to argue.
tomorrow he'll wake bright and early (or dark and early, as the case may be), and head off to daycare where he'll be participating in their halloween parade (a walk around the block in costume), and will be capping off his festivities by handing out candy and a little trick-or-treating with daddy.
i'll have photos of him in costume (assuming he actually wears the costume) tomorrow, so stay tuned for photos. so far sam has been less than keen on his special halloween outfit. the lesson he should take away from this is that when mom asks you what you want to be for halloween, come up with something other than "sam", or she will, and you may not like the result.

It has been an interesting 12 months for the UK's property investors, with the EU referendum and changes to the tax system, down to the snap general election. Landlords have had to work a little harder to find the most profitable options available in the market. And thanks to a new study from TotallyMoney.com, the UK's best postcodes for buy-to-let yields have been revealed.
Looking at the top 25 buy-to-let hotspots across the UK, Liverpool came out on top. The first top four spots on the list went to Liverpool postcodes, including L7, which was named the number one place in the country for rental yields. And Liverpool topped a total of seven in the list as a whole. These postcodes include:
This area is right at the heart of the city centre, and includes two of Liverpool's mainline train stations, the creative hub known as the Baltic Triangle, the Liverpool ONE shopping centre, the Liverpool Ropewalks area, and Liverpool John Moore's University. This postcode is also home to our One Wolstenholme Square, The Residence and RopeWalks developments.
This vast area stretches along the city's docks, around the North and East of the city centre, and into a good part of the Vauxhall district. This area in particular is currently seeing massive amounts of investment, from the £5.5bn Liverpool Waters project to the new stadium for Everton FC (one of Liverpool's two Premier League football teams), as well as housing projects such as the ultra-modern Devon House student development.
Close to the city centre, this up and coming area just below the centre is currently seeing somewhat of a transformation. Like much of Liverpool, it's making a good place for investors to consider, with fantastic developments like the historic Coleman's Fireproof Depository on offer.
At Aspen Woolf, we're not surprised to see these Liverpool postcodes have ranked so highly. With its thriving population of young professionals and numerous large-scale regeneration projects taking place in the city, it's easy to see why the city has become such a popular place to live, and in turn, profitable place to invest.
We're also pleased to see postcodes such as Huddersfield's HD1 (in 7th place) and Plymouth's PL4 (in 15th place), appearing on the list. We know just how much potential these less identified areas of the UK have, with developments like Crane Court in Huddersfield and Beaumont Square in Plymouth, demonstrating the kinds of high rental yields achievable.
Top 25 Buy-to-Let Property Hotspots
TotallyMoney.com have put together this handy map to help buyers see what the average yields are for different postcodes across the UK.
And Joe Gardiner, Head of Brand and Communications at TotallyMoney.com, had this to say about their findings:
'Many people finance properties using a buy-to-let mortgage with the intention of boosting their income a little. The recent tax changes will move several landlords to a higher tax rate, making it harder to make money from investing in property in this way.
'While this may put off many potential landlords from getting a buy-to-let mortgage, the buy-to-let hotspots map can show them where their investment will bring the best yield.'
In the current climate where tax changes are affecting profit margins, it's important for landlords and those considering buy-to-let investments to look for these profit pockets in cities and towns that are providing higher average yields than much of the rest of the country – particularly London. This study goes to show that putting some careful thought into where you're going to invest can truly prove to be the smartest move.

|Big pot, lots of family-sized tea bags
|Tea bags cooking - regular ones in the big pot, chamomile and Celestial Seasonings mandarin orange spice in each of the two little pots.

It's important to remember that we want to write good web copy because good copywriting generates leads, sales, clicks, customers, and, yes, ultimately PROFIT for our business.
Essentially this means web copy is a form of direct-response advertising. The fundamental tenets of direct-response copywriting can be summed up in the acronym AIDA. This stands for Attention, Interest, Desire, and Action.
In this article we'll take a look at each word in the AIDA acronym and elaborate on it a little.
Step 1 is to capture your audience's Attention. In the world of web copy, the responsibility for this step usually falls on the shoulders of a webpage headline, an e-mail subject line, or the first few seconds of an audio or animated advertisement.
Gaining attention in today's media-soaked environment is never easy, but if you can't get your reader/viewer to even focus momentarily on your material, your game is over.
The key to gaining attention is to really understand what makes your audience tick. It can help to ask questions such as: What causes my audience discomfort or pain? What does my audience desire? What are my audience's values?
The "attention" step is a place for strong images, bold design choices, drama, mystery, challenging questions and too-good-to-be-true promises. It's a place to underline the benefit of what you're about to try to sell, without explaining it all away. Don't be afraid to hit your prospect's factual, emotional, and rational centers, HARD.
This is by far the most important part of your copy to get right, and you only get one chance at it. Make it count!
Step 2 is to get your prospect's Interest. Here, it is important to explain exactly what you are offering and why it is good for your prospect. Interest can be built through such devices as storytelling (positive anecdotes and testimonials can really help!) and explaining product benefits.
It's worth pointing out here what the difference between a benefit and a feature is. A feature is a raw property that your product has; a benefit is what that feature will allow your prospect to be, have, or do because of that feature.
For persuasive copy, it's best to concentrate on a product's benefits rather than its features. If you're having trouble figuring out what your product's benefits are, try listing each feature, then stopping to ask yourself – so what? Each answer you can come up with for each "so what?" will be a benefit of that feature.
Remember: people will nearly always make their buying decisions based on the perceived benefits of your offering, not on its basic attributes/characteristics.
In step 3 we focus on increasing our prospect's Desire for our product or service. The desire step involves more appeal to emotion than the "interest" step. Remember: most buying decisions are made on emotional (rather than rational) grounds.
It helps to have a deep understanding of your target market here; to really know what makes them tick. Focus on telling your prospects what they will gain after they use your course or product, reveal to them how it will change their lives in a positive and incredibly desirable way.
Drop compelling testimonials; paint a vivid picture of success; reveal supportive case studies; provide undeniable evidence for your proposition. Save the biggest and most jawdroppping benefits for this section. Make your prospect drool.
One word of caution, however. Don't be tempted to lie or exaggerate, as this could mean blowing the deal, or worse, creating big problems for you down the road. Make your product sound mouthwateringly good–but keep it real.
In step 4, we ask our prospect to do something. We call them to action. Unfortunately, this is the most often-overlooked step in the process of creating a piece of copy. The Internet abounds with examples of strong copy followed by limp-wristed and throwaway calls to action. This needs to be where all the hard work you've put in from steps 1 to 3 pays off.
If you've made a strong offer, amplify it. If there's a next step, direct your readers to it. Tell them exactly what you want them to do. Do you want them to call a number? Click a button? Fill in a form? Tell them. In clear, unambiguous language. Tell them why they will do it, and what will happen to them after they do. Don't skirt around the issue, and most importantly of all: don't blow it now.
Hopefully this article has given you a feeling for the importance of the AIDA approach and an understanding of why it's regarded the four fundamentals of good copywriting it embodies. Our next article is going to discuss the Golden Rule of website interface design– see you then!

This week's Torah portion tells about offerings and consecration of Aaron and his sons as the priests for the Lord, their anointing to that task, as well as anointing and consecration of the tent of meeting. God ordered Moses on Mount Sinai the law for the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the consecration offering and the sacrifice of peace offerings. Then He told Moses to gather the people of Israel to watch the consecration and anointing of Aaron with his sons to serve the Lord on behalf of Israel in the tent of meeting. How do these laws of different offerings, sacrifices and anointing of the priests relate to us and our nations today? We know that Jesus was the ultimate offering on the cross for our sins. He was the sacrificed lamb for our offenses and there is no need for animal sacrifices today because of Jesus' fulfilled work. Is the passage completely outdated or can we learn something out of it? Let's take a closer look on the priestly calling and offerings in the New Covenant.
Priests in the Old Testament were servants of God and one of their tasks was to sacrifice on behalf of the people for their sins, thanksgiving and other purposes. They stood between the people and God and for this special calling they also had a special position compared to other tribes of Israel. God has called us as His servants to serve as priests for our nations, separated to Him. He calls us to stand in the gap on behalf of our nations in front of God in prayer and in righteous deeds, working righteousness. (Hezekiel 22:30) It doesn't mean that all of us need to serve as priests in a church literally, you may fulfill the priestly service being called by God in your workplace, at school, in your ministry and wherever you are sent to. As He designed the special priestly outfit to Aaron and His sons which were suitable for their godly service and represented their consecration to the Lord, so He has given us holy garments. In Ephesians 6:10-18 we are called to wear the full armor of God every day on ourselves. In Colossians 3:12-14 we are asked to clothe ourselves in kindness, humility, gentleness, patience and above all: love. He has called us with a holy calling to position ourselves in front of His throne and represent His Kingdom in the world. He has also equipped us for that task!
So, if we are priests, as were Aaron and his sons, what is our acceptable sacrifice today? In Romans 12:1-2 we are called to offer ourselves "as a sacrifice, living and set apart for God. This will please Him, it is the logical Temple worship—". Paul continues explaining what it means: "In other words, do not let yourselves be conformed to the standards of this world—". Even if we serve as priests in our nations we ought not to let the standards of our surrounding culture affect our own. Rather, we as Kingdom representatives should be the ones transforming the culture around us! Wouldn't we want to see a Kingdom culture break through all the levels of society, media, business, arts, law and other fields? Hebrews 13:15-16 speaks of other kind of sacrifice: "–let us offer God a sacrifice of praise continually. For this is the natural product of lips that acknowledge His name. But don't forget doing good and sharing with others, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased." Worship and thanksgiving, doing good and sharing with others: these are the kind of sacrifices God wants us to offer Him on behalf our nations. It will inevitably have a positive influence in our surroundings.
Israel has a calling from God as a whole nation to glorify Him in a special way among other nations. God tells in Hezekiel 28:25 that He will show His holiness in Israel before all the nations. When we see the New Covenant priests rising up in Israel, sacrificing acceptable and well pleasing offerings to the God of Abraham, Isaak and Jacob, then we know that the salvation to all peoples is near. Let's pray that God would increase the number of Jews and Arabs in Israel who believe in Jesus as their Saviour and that He would anoint them to declare Good News of salvation all around Israel. Let's pray that Israel would rise up to its destiny as a holy and separated to God so that the whole world would see the glory of God.
The European Coalition for Israel is a unique grassroots movement, which is seeking to promote better relations between Europe and Israel through advocacy and education. More information: www.ec4i.org

Another embroidery project completed and another experiment. Traditional Palestinian embroidery is nearly always made up of lots of bright vibrant colours. This time I decided to use just black, with a tiny amount of cream, on a red fabric. Here is the finished piece.
The fabric is an 18ct Aida in bright red, while the threads are from the DMC cotton range. I used two strands for the cross stitches. The four designs or motifs are all from the patterns used traditional Palestinian embroidery. Just not normally in one colour.
The centre piece is the two swans. Not that swans are particularly common in Palestine, but this pattern was common in pattern books. The upper right and bottom left motif is an olive branch, while the upper left and bottom right motif is a carnation. The border is known as the snail.
This was a bit of an experiment as I have never tried traditional Palestinian work with just one colour. The result is a bit unusual, but quite effective I think. The size is 12cm x 17cm and fits nicely into one of my IKEA black rimmed frames.
I have a couple of ideas in mind for my next projects. The first will be a simple illustration of the lighthouse at Tayport, while the second will be a merlin in flight, in blackwork. Happy stitching!

It doesn't have to be
the blue iris, it could be
weeds in a vacant lot, or a few
small stones; just
pay attention, then patch
a few words together and don't try
to make them elaborate, this isn't
a contest but the doorway
into thanks, and a silence in which
another voice may speak.
– Mary Oliver, Thirst
"Being in a hurry. Getting to the next thing without fully entering the thing in front of me. I cannot think of a single advantage I've ever gained from being in a hurry. But a thousand broken and missed things, tens of thousands, lie in the wake of all the rushing…. Through all that haste I thought I was making up time. It turns out I was throwing it away."
― Ann Voskamp, One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are
This is mindfulness.
Noticing the world around us, the world that God created. Noticing the blessings, the disappointments, and the things that at first glance, seem not to matter.
Mindfulness is fully realizing that God is in everything around us.
Mindfulness is an act of thanksgiving. It is thanking God for the dirty dishes or the small stones.
Mindfulness is an act of continuous prayer, opening our heart and mind and body to worshiping our Lord at any and every moment.
Mindfulness is one of God's many gifts to us.
Lord, help me be mindful of every moment – and when I am not, help me center my life back on You. Amen.

Our dear supporters, fans and spruikers,
Last week, we made our Kickstarter goal. We are so, so thankful that you have turned out in force to support our efforts to create a literary zine for women and non-binary folk that represents our voices while pushing the boundaries of awesome literature.
Thank you to our backers, who put their hard earned money behind us in support. Your support means the world to us, and it means that we can continue to expand the magazine and allow it to evolve without the constraints of self funding.
Thank you to the number of you who retweeter, reblogged, shared and liked our posts, calls for help, and new material. Without you, we wouldn't have had the hope of reaching out to get this over the line.
Because of your help, we get to evolve. You have generously shown your support for what we do and make the call for diverse works from people who are under represented in published literature loud and clear.
Behind the scenes, we are hard at work. We hope that the fourth issue, along with all merchandise and perks, will be sent by mid-december. After that, this Kickstarter means that we are able to make an appearance at the Association of Writers & Writing Program (AWP) Conference and Bookfair next April.
We can't thank you enough, and now as we return to work, we work towards a goal that makes every dollar donated worth it!
With our love,
The Quaint Team

Social Media
Social media is all the rage these days—and that goes for Facebook (with 1.5 billion active users), Twitter (with 200 million), LinkedIn (with 238 million), and Pinterest (with 70 million). And these numbers are increasing steadily. Take Facebook, for example. The 1.5 million active users I referenced above is 23% more than the number of active users the company had in early 2012. That's enormous growth in just a year. According to Zephoria, this should quell any lingering doubts you may still have about the The Social Network because—statistically speaking—"Facebook is too big to ignore." And as far as we're concerned, so are the rest.
Hopefully, you're tapping into the magic that is social media to enhance your marketing efforts, but that discussion is for another time and place (cough, the WebPT blog). Here, let's talk about electronic medical records (EMRs) and social media. After all, EMRs are all the rage these days, too.
Want some proof about the prowess of EMR? According to this USA Today article, in 2008, only 9% of hospitals and 17% of physicians used electronic medical/health records. Today, more than 80% of hospitals and 50% of physician offices that contract with Medicare or Medicaid will transition by the end of this year. Physical therapy EMR adoption is up as well—just ask the APTA. Why the increase? Well, in addition to the government incentivizing physicians' offices and hospitals that make the switch, there are also countless benefits for both the practitioner and the patient. Oh, plus pen and paper are so last decade.
Social Media + EMR
Now that we've talked about social media and EMRs individually, let's talk about them together. Today, people are sending more than 400 million tweets and posting more than 55 million Facebook status updates every day. You read that right: every day. That's a ton of information. So how does that relate to health care—and more specifically, to EMR? Well, back in 2009, health care was the eighth most popular Facebook status trend out of all potential possibilities. Additionally, according to Jennifer Bresnick, author of an EHR Intelligence article about the role of social media in electronic health records, "millions of people share the intimate details of their lives with their network of friends and acquaintances. They might complain of feeling nauseous after taking a new medication on Twitter, but not think it's worth calling their doctor about, or post a picture of their swollen ankle after a fall without realizing they should be seeking medical attention for a sprain."
Looking for more evidence of the overlap? Check out this article written by WebPT's very own Senior Writer, Charlotte Bohnett. In it, she cites a PwC study that found 41% of people surveyed would allow social media sites to influence their choice of a specific medical professional or facility. That's huge. So it's no wonder that medical professionals are becoming more and more interested in the conversations happening on social media. This Healthcare Technology Online article quotes Jared Rhoads, senior research specialist with CSC's Global Institute for Emerging Healthcare Practices, who says, "It stands to reason that there are tremendous opportunities for [medical professionals] to tap into social media tools in order to get patients to become more engaged in their care. Information and data that are obtained or generated as a result of these interactions have a valid place in the patient record—as valid as nearly any other self-reported piece of information."
In the same article, John Edwards, a PwC spokesman, said that "hospitals are using social media, and they are not limiting their imaginations to just marketing and listening to people's feedback about the company; they are starting to think about how to use social media for services and other aspects of their business." Shouldn't you be, too?
Rhoads cautions, though, "this is also relatively uncharted territory, and so best practices have not been widely established." That may be part of the reason why, according to Bresnick in the EHR Intelligence article I cited above, standalone healthcare-centric networking sites, like tibbr, which is designed to facilitate health information exchange through a "Facebook-like interface," haven't taken off yet. Bresnick believes that "the business case for truly integrating patient information gleaned from social media hasn't yet been convincingly made, nor have developers and big data specialists figured out how to separate the wheat from the chaff when combing through Instragram updates."
Another potential obstacle to consider? Patient privacy. If healthcare organizations, practices, and facilities begin to rethink the use of social media tools to enhance the patient care experience or add additional context to a patient's medical record, a new breed of security measures will become necessary. In the same article, Bresnick quotes Deborah Kohn, MPH, RHIA, FACHE, CPHIMS, principal of Dak Systems Consulting: "Every tweet, blog comment, text message, and wall entry you and/or your organization colleagues upload or receive is a piece of content that, theoretically, should be reviewed and managed to ensure control, decorum and, perhaps, regulatory and records compliance. For example, an individual social network status update or a tweet might not rise to the level of a record, but a protracted discussion on a particular topic over a given period on someone's wall or via Twitter might qualify."
The Future
So what might EMRs look like in the not-so-distant future? According to Missy Krasner, product marketing manager of the short-lived, before-its-time Google Health, "They [won't] just say: 'we want to structure your data'; now [they'll say:] 'we want to connect you with other people who have your same illness, if you're comfortable with that.'" In other words, an integrated EMR with a patient portal that allows individuals to collaborate with their healthcare providers and their peers may be just what the healthcare community needs to increase access and quality of patient care.
What do you think? Does social media have a place in modern health care? How do you see it being integrated with electronic medical records? Tell us in the comments below.

How Much Sleep do we Need?
The National Sleep Foundation published a study by 18 sleep scientists and researchers in Sleep Health that shows the number of hours needed by all ages, divided into 9 age divisions. They're listed as ranges because gender has an influence, as well as lifestyle and health.
Newborns and Infants
Newborns don't have an established circadian rhythm; it isn't established they're 2-3 months old. Infants tend to sleep in several phases throughout the day (polyphasic), sleeping from 2.5 to 4 hours at a time. By around 12 months, infants start sleeping more at night. At this point, they start to sleep more like adults in that there are no bodily movements during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, which is when people dream. Previous to 12 months, babies will move during REM sleep.
School-Age Children
Recognizing when school-age children aren't sleeping enough can be difficult as tired kids tend to not slow down, they speed up. They'll engage in behaviors that look like ADHD. This includes resisting going to bed at night, even though they're tired.
Children with ADHD can cause sleep loss in children, as well as other issues such as sleep apnea(when people stop breathing for periods throughout the night). It was previously believed that sleep apnea only occurred in adults, but now the America Academy of Pediatrics recommends ask about and screen for sleep apnea in children.
According to the National Sleep Foundation, circadian rhythms shift after puberty, making teens want to go to bed after 11 pm and wake up later. With teenagers having the earliest start times, they are often getting up at 5 am to be at school by 7 am, which makes it rarer that a teen will get enough sleep. One study found that only 15% of teens reported sleeping 8.5 hours per night.
Because teens are sleep-deprived during the week, they sleep more on the weekend, which can make the problem worse. One of the top recommendations from sleep experts is to fall asleep and wake up at the same time every day.
A problem that many teens share with adults is the use of back-lit devices late at night, which can prevent sleepers from getting quality sleep.
Lack of sleep in teenagers has a long list of drawbacks, including:
- drowsy driving leading to car accidents
- reduced emotional control, leading to more fighting with parents, siblings, and peers
- poor cognitive ability, focus, decision making, and reaction time, leading to poor grades, athletic performance, and choices
- poor impulse control, which can create and strengthen bad habits
- skin issues such as acne
Adults tend to not get enough sleep for a list of reasons:
- stress from job and family
- consuming caffeine too late in the day
- looking at blue-light emitting devices within 90 minutes of going to bed
- inconsistent sleep schedule
- eating too late
- lack of exercise
- issues with the mattress: too hot, too soft or hard, and/or old
Many adults aged 65 and older nap during the day because they don't get enough quality sleep at night. One of the reasons they don't sleep well is because of medical conditions such as restless legs syndrome (RLS). The National Institutes of Health estimate that 10-35% of seniors have RLS, which results in uncomfortable sensations in the legs creating an irresistible urge to move them. Symptoms occur in the evening and often during sleep. Around 80% of people with RLS also have periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD), and one study found that around 45% of all seniors have at least mild PLMD.
Many seniors also suffer from illnesses and take medications, both of which can disturb sleep.
Another common issue among seniors is that it takes them longer to go to sleep, with one study showing 13% of men over 65 and 36% of women taking more than 30 minutes to fall asleep.
According to the National Sleep Foundation, seniors have trouble sleeping for several reasons. One is the change in the phases of sleep, where many seniors spend more time in the lighter phases of sleep and less in the deeper, more restorative phases.
Sleep fragmentation (waking up during the night) is also common, which greatly reduces the ability to wake up well rested.
Women need on average 20 more minutes per night more than men, though some women need more than that. One theory as to why is because women multitask more than men and have busier schedules, which results in their brains using more energy and therefore needing more recuperation. If this theory is correct, then men that have complex jobs that require a lot of decision-making and lateral thinking will need more than the average male as well. Another possible reason is the monthly hormone cycle that occurs with menstruation.
According to the National Institutes of Health, women do sleep more than men. However, there are several things that can make it difficult for women to get enough quality sleep:
- Their male partners' snore (40% of men snore as opposed to 24% of women)
- Menopause
- Pregnancy
- Stress from family and job responsibilities
Sleep Needs During Pregnancy
Pregnant women need more sleep, especially in their first trimester, which includes more sleepiness during the day. This is due to the rise in progesterone, as well as the metabolic changes the body is going through.
They also are more likely to experience parasomnias, which are unusual behaviors that occur just before falling asleep, during sleep, or when waking up. Common parasomnias for expecting mothers are restless legs syndrome (RLS), snoring, and insomnia.
Expectant mothers in their first trimester will also have more frequent bathroom visits to urinate, due to the uterus pushing on the bladder. Swollen breasts, cramps, and nausea can also make it hard to fall asleep.
In the second trimester, women tend to sleep better, as many of the changes have already occurred in the first trimester. However, it's not uncommon to experience leg cramps (often in the calves) as well as heartburn (due to the uterus pushing on the stomach).
In the third trimester, sleep gets worse again due to (RLS), frequent urination, anxiety about the upcoming delivery, and lower back pain.
After the baby is born, new mothers will often find it easier to sleep because they're sleep deprived. Babies are often awake every hour to few hours, so mothers can't get into the deeper, restful phases of sleep, so when they get a chance to sleep, the brain will try to make up the sleep deficit as quickly as possible.
Breastfeeding is sleep-inducing because the hormone that promotes lactation, prolactin, is a soporific, or sleep-promoting.

'Killing Them Softly' Review (Telstar Media)
Release Date: 21st September, 2012
Certification: 18
Director: Andrew Dominik
Starring: Brad Pitt, Richard Jenkins, James Gandolfini, Ray Liotta
The previous collaboration of Australian director Andrew Dominik and the professional Mr Jolie Brad Pitt was the sprawling masterpiece The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford (and breathe). Its wholly unromantic take on a frequently romanticised hero and striking visual style evokes a real 1800s postcard feel to the film, with a staggering central performance from Pitt. Their latest is probably the follow-up furthest from your expectations, an ensemble piece with a slick noir aesthetic, stylised violence and a megaphone for the recent economic crisis.
I've Never Seen… L.A. Confidential (Telstar Media)
This is a particularly heinous entry into my Never Seen collection, since there's never been anything to suggest I wouldn't absolutely adore the film. Alien 3 has a bad reputation, and I always got the impression I'd seen all of A Fish Called Wanda's funny bits in snippets (nearly right), but L.A. Confidential is a critically acclaimed neo-noir with a couple of my favourite actors either well in their prime, or at least at their breakthrough – either way, they are all in their element.

I've Never Seen… Alien 3 (Telstar Media)
This is the first of a weekly feature on this site where the author will watch and review a film or television programme they have evaded, intentionally or otherwise, for years. It's a not uncommon occurrence; you'll get some hardened film nuts who've never seen The Godfather or Psycho, not because of a desire to avoid them, but just never getting around to it. Myself, I've never seen Apocalypse Now or Blade Runner, or watched The Sopranos apart from the very last episode. You get the idea.

We have begun using the Rapid Board for our sprint planning and development. We have a type of issue called a workpackage that generally has sub-tasks. I noticed that on the Sprint Report, our workpackages don't show story points, yet the Burndown Chart shows the story points. I've checked the issues in the work tab of the Rapid Board, and they appear in the Done column, with story points visible. This appears to be a difference in the way the Sprint Report retrieves story points (they're not applied to the totals within each section of the report, either). In the Sprint Report, the story points appear as a hyphen, rather than a number.
I provided this additional information to Atlassian Support:
the ticket was set to one of the "done" statuses without all sub-tasks being closed. Is this why it appears in one report, but not the other? Are the reports using slightly different queries, and therefore return different numbers?
This was the answer I received from Atlassian Support:
the burndown chart is going to include it because until it was moved to the next sprint, its hours were counted in this sprint. The Greenhopper team is working on this, so that in the future you would be able to move the issue and the time associated to the next sprint, but for the time being, it is working as intended.

It sounds like the custom fields are not present in all issue types/projects and/or the story point fields are restricted based on projects.
If you can make them all globally available and re-run the report, it should hopefully show the story point values.

Hey Tim,
Also remember to check: There might be issues whose story points are not shown in the report. So do you think that there are issues whose story points were changed after they were added in the sprint?

(2) If it becomes necessary to turn any accounts over to a third party for collection, I agree to pay any additional collection costs which will be added to the outstanding balance. (3) Registration privileges for future classes may be revoked if fees remain unpaid.
Description Fee Explanation
Rental Fee TBD Established by Textbook Department prior to Rental Period
Late Fee $15 Applied when rented textbook is returned after the Rental Return
Date, outlined above
Damage/Lost Fee TBD NEW textbook price as determined at the time of rental
(*TBD To Be Determined)
Revised July 28, 2017
FAQs: Textbook Rental Program
Who is eligible to rent textbooks?
Any Hobart and William Smith Colleges student, 18 years or older, can rent a textbook while supplies last.
What if I am not 18 years old?
Parents can rent textbooks on behalf of their student. However, all policies still apply including return deadlines.
Who owns the rental textbooks?
Rental textbooks are the property of The College Store at Hobart and William Smith Colleges.
Can I rent all of my textbooks?
Not at this time. We are working with publishers and wholesalers to identify as many rental titles as possible. Generally speaking, a book needs to be a popular title and early in its life cycle to qualify for a rental program. Popular title is defined by the number of colleges and universities using the title. Early life cycle is defined as a recently released edition. Not all textbooks used on campus fall into these two categories.
Can I rent a textbook at any time?
Yes. You can rent a textbook at any time in the semester while supplies last.
How long can I keep the rented textbook?
You must return the rented textbook immediately following the end of the last scheduled final exam for the semester in which the textbook was rented. Returns will NOT be accepted after 3 days from the last final exam for the semester in which the textbook was rented.
Is the rental option a better deal?
It depends. You need to look carefully at your other options and consider the true end cost and what you want from the book. Do you want the cheapest alternative? Do you want to keep the book for reference? Will you need the book for an upcoming class?
Rental fees are generally 50-65% cheaper than purchasing the new book equivalent but the book has to be returned in salable condition with minimal highlighting and writing. You can not sell the rented textbook at buyback or keep it for your library.
The best economic value in textbooks many times is to buy a used textbook and sell it back at the bookstore's buyback for 50% of the original purchase price. The 50% can only be paid if the faculty member has notified the bookstore, prior to buyback, that the textbook will be used in an upcoming semester. The net cost to use the textbook in this scenario is typically 37% of the new textbook price
How do I rent a textbook?
You can "order" your rental textbook on line for a specific time period at collegestore.hws.edu by clicking on Textbooks, or you can see someone in the Textbook Department at The College Store. You will need to complete and sign a Textbook Rental Agreement which outlines the Terms and Conditions of the rental Agreement. The Agreement stipulates that The College Store will have a valid credit card or debit card on file for Payment Security for applied fees. See "Payment Security" below.
How do I pay the rental fees for a textbook?
You can use Visa, MasterCard, debit card, OneCard, or a pre-approved Business Office Charge (SFA, HEOP, etc.)
Can I highlight and write in the rented textbook?
Yes. Minimal and normal highlighting and writing is acceptable. The College Store determines salable condition and all such decisions are final.
Do I have to rent my textbooks?
No. Renting a textbook is an alternative to purchasing a textbook.
Can I choose to purchase my rented textbook?
Yes. You may choose to purchase your rented textbook after the normal return policy for textbooks expires. Typically, the return policy expires 1 week after the first day of class each semester. Subsequent purchase of a rented textbook is considered a final sale.
What happens if I drop the class for which I rented the textbook?
Returns of rented textbooks for full refund are accepted during the FIRST week of classes each semester if the class has been dropped. Your rental fee will be credited to the original payment tender. i.e. Visa, MasterCard, OneCard, etc.
Can I return my rented textbook and have my rental fee refunded?
Only in the following situations:
1. Proof that the course was canceled by The Colleges.
2. You dropped the class and present a drop/add slip with faculty signature within the FIRST week of class.
3. You chose to purchase your rental textbook.
When do I need to return my rented textbook to The College Store?
You need to return your rented textbook to the Textbook Department at The College Store immediately following the end of the last final exam for the semester in which you rented the textbook. Returns will NOT be accepted after 3 days from the last final exam for the semester in which the textbook was rented.
What happens if my rented textbook is lost, stolen, or damaged?
You are responsible for the rented textbook until such time as you return it to The College Store. Additional fees apply if the rented textbook is lost, stolen, damaged, or returned late. See Fee Structure, below.
What happens if I do not return my rented textbook?
The rented textbook will be considered "lost" and you will be charged a fee. See Fee Structure, below.
Why are additional fees applied if I return my rented textbook late?
Additional fees are applied to cover the additional expenses of processing a late return which include, but are not limited to insurance, shipping, and handling charges.
Why are additional fees applied if I lose, damage, or don't return my rented textbook?
The rented textbook is the property of The College Store. The additional fees cover the additional expenses of finding another copy of the textbook to replace the one that was lost, stolen, or damaged.
Why can I not return the rented textbook after a specific date?
Our textbook rental program is unique to each semester. Each semester has a specific end date. Once the end date of a semester is reached all non-returned rented textbooks are considered "lost" and additional fees are applied.
Who do I see with other questions?
Please see the Textbook Manager at The College Store with additional questions.

Just a small note (maybe it helps someone).
Typically, some exports are done using XML.
That XML it typically generated using a simple POCO.
When migrating to a new version, you will still want to support older versions, but signal developers that the field is no longer in use for new data.
Whatever you do, don't make the field Obsolete.
Making it Obsolete makes it no longer deserialize from the XML source.
I found out the hard way today 🙂

Time and moisture are considered as the biggest enemy of foundation. These two factors play inevitable role in damaging the foundation of your home. People who are living in the river side areas where there are greater chances of flood or people who are living in the location that comes in the range of earthquake should need to pay their special attention and consider many things when constructing foundation of their home. They need to use construction material that is neutral to moisture. They should also need to keep earthquake security measures in mind when constructing their foundation. They also need to get their foundation inspected from time to time so that if there is any kind of issue occurring with your foundation, you can take the right step to fix them.
If you are looking to hire foundation repair service and want to know how much does is cost then you can visit the website of foundation Repair Company to know about typical costs for foundation repair.
Climate and weather changes play an important role in damaging your foundation
Having a home in the location that easily becomes prone to weather can make you face more foundation problems. It has been seen that buildings on beach side get easily cracked and require more maintenance to be in good health. Mostly people ignore the cracks and chips seen in their foundation by thinking that this is not a big thing. They have to face the result of this negligence when their basement gets flooded and foundation of their building starts collapsing. In this situation, there is no any way through which they can save the foundation. That is why, if you are living in the location that is sensitive to Climate change and weather conditions, you never should ignore even simpler crack and call up a professional to treat it because they can lead to the big damage to your building.
