"I was very hesitant to use an unknown online process after several bad incidents in the past but I was so very happy with the results. The service was efficient and the contact from staff was fast and courteous. I was reassured when the ladies at GiftbasketsOverseas immediately noted the special delivery address and the fact that it was for my 90 year old Aunties Birthday. Auntie was surprised and teary at receiving such a wonderful basket and flowers. She was overwhelmed and the envy of her peers and fellow residents. Thank you so much for helping me celebrate a special lady. I can't recommend you highly enough. "
Nely Freeman - Australia - June 13, 2015

Danny - Australia - Mar 3, 2011

MLM Network Marketing Leads Produced FAST!
How to Produce a MLM Network Marketing Lead the Easy Way|Best Way to Produce a MLM Network Marketing Lead the Easy Way
Best Practice to Produce a MLM Network Marketing Lead the Easy Way
It may be an enticement to purchase leads so that you can get your MULTI LEVEL MARKETING or network marketing off the ground you might say, but in truth it's not a good idea unless you are completely sure those leads are fresh, not recycled and completely pertaining to your business.
It isn't difficult to become impatient at the beginning – you want to start earning a bit of money after all , but buying leads will probably only lead you into a lot of work without any results. A good way to get good social marketing leads is by joining a backed proposal system like MLSP – a much better way to spend your cash than on useless leads. Don't struggle to get leads!
How Do I Get the Best Leads?
The most effective way to get a good MLM network marketing lead is to practice attraction promoting, online people don't know you from a hole in the ground, so you have got to work hard at winning them over so they may trust you. The product at this stage of the process is secondary, you have to prove to those folks that you know what you are talking about and take the reins and be a leader if you like.
The most effective way to do this is by presenting yourself as somebody helpful and well informed about your service and by being trusty. You can do it by showing your satisfied smiling face all over the place – on social media sites, and on other individual's related blogs where you ought to be leaving useful information.
Attraction Promoting Builds Qualified Leads
If you go into a high street store and a helper is rude or unhelpful, you won't commend it to your pals or go back there. Be aware of the competition there is for your product online these days. You have to stand out from the group and infuse your unique character into everything you do. It's true that people buy from people that they like and trust, and your biggest challenge will get folks to trust you. Once you are over that hurdle then you will never have an issue making sales or recruiting prospects to your opportunity. That is the foundation of attraction promoting, folk who understand how to do it properly make the best salespeople offline and online.
What to Do with a Good M.L.M Promoting Lead
Qualified leads are individuals that are already inquisitive about your opportunity and could have approached you directly through your internet site. They're already sold on the idea of internet promotion, and they're probably looking at your opportunity together with a number of others. Don't put these people on the back burner and fret about the closing process as you are 1/2 way there.
They could need more information – give it to them. You should have got their phone number thru your lead capture page, so go ahead and call them. There's little to be afraid of, though many new social marketers are frightened to screw up this last step in the sales process.
There's no need to spend on buying leads. What you'll get is a ton of work without anything to show. Learn the way to generate your own highly qualified MLM network marketing lead and you'll be fine. Don't Struggle to get Leads Anymore. You don't have to!

Knowledge and Thinking is the grade that you get on what you know. This is also grade of the content of your Written Communication.
Towles New Tech is a program where mostly everything is PBL. PBL is the abbreviation for Project Based Learning. Here at New Tech, we use technology most of the time, to complete projects. Unlike Montessori where we use textbooks.
Comparison Between New Tech and Montessori at Towles
Take a look at this video to get a better understanding of how to use Echo, our Towles New Tech website. Echo's homepage has changed, but some of the features are somewhat similar.
New Tech uses technology for learning purposes.
Montessori uses textbooks and worksheets to learn.
New Tech doesn't have silent reading time or lit circles.
New Tech has group projects, and Montessori is more independent.
Both programs are at Towles.
Both programs have written reports.
Both programs have a place to check grades and missing assignments.
Student Learning Outcomes (SLO's)
Agency is another word for being responsible for getting your work done on time. In New Tech you have to use agency to be able to complete individual and group tasks to earn high points in agency. Some of the groups are based on agency, so you better get your agency up to get a group member that works really well.
Towles New Tech
Echo Video
SLO's (Student Learning Outcomes) are the topics that you get graded on in your classes. They are Oral Communication, Written Communication, Agency, Knowledge and Thinking, and Collaboration.
You get graded on oral communication when you present to the class. The facilitators grade you on eye contact, speaking with a loud, clear voice, and good posture.
Oral Communication
Written Communication
Written Communication is the written portion of each project. You don't necessarily use a pen or pencil to complete the task. You use your laptop to type the written portions of each project.
Knowledge and Thinking
Laptop Rules
New Tech
What are SLO's?
Respect your laptop.
Never take off the sticker that has your laptop's number.
When holding laptop make sure to hold it with both hands.
Always plug in your laptop when you are not using it.
If you have low battery, ask a facilitator for a brick (battery charger).
Don't take your laptops into the bathroom. Why would you?
Don't let others touch your laptop unless it's necessary or if it's a facilitator.
Knowledge and thinking is what you are graded on when you present a project. It is basically what you know about the content of the project. If you want a good grade, you need to make sure you know all about the topic, so you can explain it in your own words.
Trust Cards
Trust cards are cards that show
that the person wearing them is trusted. Trust cards are always worn, so you can have privileges. You can earn your trust card after you participate in the culture project at the beginning of the year.
Collabration is how well you communicate with your team members. You are graded on how well your team works together and how you talk with your team member during work time. The more respectful you are to your teammates the better your grade is!

To complete their work digital agencies rely on feedback rounds. You know the drill. Whenever there's a milestone an agency presents the current status of the project to the clients. Clients are essentially asked to provide feedback for the work that has already been done. There are many points that need to be covered during any given feedback round so clear communication is key. However, it's not that easy to maintain it because there are just too many details that go into any digital project.

The Battle of Adwa occurred on March 1, 1896, and was the decisive engagement of the First Italo-Ethiopian War (1895-1896).

Italian Commanders

General Oreste Baratieri

17,700 men

56 guns

Ethiopian Commanders

Emperor Menelik II

approx. 110,000 men

Battle of Adwa Overview

Seeking to expand their colonial empire in Africa, Italy invaded independent Ethiopia in 1895. Led by the governor of Eritrea, General Oreste Baratieri, Italian forces penetrated deep into Ethiopia before being compelled to fall back to defensible positions in the border region of Tigray. Entrenching at Sauria with 20,000 men, Baratieri hoped to lure Emperor Menelik II's army into attacking his position. In such a fight, the Italian army's technological superiority in rifles and artillery could be best put to use against the emperor's larger force.

Advancing to Adwa with approximately 110,000 men (82,000 w/ rifles, 20,000 w/ spears, 8,000 cavalry), Menelik refused to be lured into assaulting Baratieri's lines. The two forces remained in place through February 1896, with their supply situations rapidly deteriorating. Pressured by the government in Rome to act, Baratieri called a council of war on February 29th. While Baratieri initially advocated for a withdrawal back to Asmara, his commanders universally called for an attack on the Ethiopian camp. After some waffling, Baratieri acquiesced to their request and began preparing for an assault.

Unknown to the Italians, Menelik's food situation was equally dire and the emperor was considering falling back before his army began to melt away. Moving out around 2:30 AM on March 1, Baratieri's plan called for the brigades of Brigadier Generals Matteo Albertone (left), Giuseppe Arimondi (center), and Vittorio Dabormida (right) to advance to high ground overlooking Menelik's camp at Adwa. Once in place, his men would fight a defensive battle using the terrain to their advantage. The brigade of Brigadier General Giuseppe Ellena would also advance but would remain in reserve.

Shortly after the Italian advance commenced, problems began to arise as inaccurate maps and extremely rough terrain led to Baratieri's troops becoming lost and disoriented. While Dabormida's men pushed forward, part of Albertone's brigade became entangled with Arimondi's men after the columns collided in the darkness. The ensuing confusion was not sorted out until around 4:00 AM. Pushing on, Albertone reached what he thought was his objective, the hill of Kidane Meret. Halting, he was informed by his native guide that Kidane Meret was actually another 4.5 miles ahead.

Continuing their march, Albertone's askaris (native troops) moved around 2.5 miles before encountering the Ethiopian lines. Traveling with the reserve, Baratieri began to receive reports of fighting on his left wing. To support this, he sent orders to Dabormida at 7:45 AM to swing his men to the left to support Albertone and Arimondi. For an unknown reason, Dabormida failed to comply and his command drifted to the right opening a two mile gap in the Italian lines. Through this gap, Menelik pushed 30,000 men under Ras Makonnen.

Fighting against increasingly overwhelming odds, Albertone's brigade beat back numerous Ethiopian charges, inflicting heavy casualties. Dismayed by this, Menelik contemplated retreating, but was convinced by Empress Taitu and Ras Maneasha to commit his 25,000-man imperial guard to the fight. Storming forward, they were able to overwhelm Albertone's position around 8:30 AM and captured the Italian brigadier. The remnants of Albertone's brigade fell back on Arimondi's position at Mount Bellah, two miles to the rear.

Closely followed by the Ethiopians, Albertone's survivors prevented their comrades from opening fire at long range and soon Arimondi's troops were closely engaged with the enemy on three sides. Watching this fight, Baratieri assumed that Dabormida was still moving to their aid. Attacking in waves, the Ethiopians suffered horrific casualties as Italians doggedly defended their lines. Around 10:15 AM, Arimondi's left began to crumble. Seeing no other option, Baratieri ordered a retreat from Mouth Bellah. Unable to maintain their lines in the face of the enemy, the retreat quickly became a rout.

On the Italian right, the wayward Dabormida's brigade was engaging the Ethiopians in the valley of Mariam Shavitu. At 2:00 PM, after four hours of fighting, Dabormida having heard nothing from Baratieri for hours began to openly wonder what happened to the rest of the army. Seeing his position as untenable, Dabormida began conducting an orderly, fighting withdraw along a track to the north. Begrudgingly giving up each yard of earth, his men fought valiantly until Ras Mikail arrived on the field with a large number of Oromo cavalry. Charging through the Italian lines they effectively wiped out Dabormida's brigade, killing the general in the process.

Battle of Adwa - Aftermath

The Battle of Adwa cost Baratieri around 5,216 killed, 1,428 wounded, and approximately 2,500 captured. Among the prisoners, 800 Tigrean askari were subjected to the punishment of having their right hands and left feet amputated for disloyalty. In addition, over 11,000 rifles and most of the Italian's heavy equipment was lost and captured by Menelik's forces. Ethiopian forces suffered approximately 7,000 killed and 10,000 wounded in the battle. In the wake of his victory, Menelik elected not to drive the Italians out of Eritrea, preferring instead to limit his demands to the abrogation of the unfair 1889 Treaty of Wuchale, Article 17 of which had led to the conflict. As a result of the Battle of Adwa, the Italians entered into negotiations with Menelik which resulted in the Treaty of Addis Ababa. Ending the war, the treaty saw Italy recognize Ethiopia as an independent state and clarified the border with Eritrea.

While Ohio's legislature has tried to further weaken the state's renewable energy standards, lawmakers from two other states – Maryland and Michigan – have beefed up their state's standards.
Maryland is the latest state to do so. Its general assembly passed a law last year that required 22 percent of the electricity sold in the state to be produced by renewable sources by 2020. The old standard had been 20 percent by 2022.
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican, vetoed the bill, but the lawmakers overrode the veto last week.
The legislation was heralded by clean power advocates.
The Sierra Club reported that the Maryland Climate Coalition projects the higher standard will prompt the installation of 250 megawatts of solar energy in the state and over 1,000 megawatts of additional renewable energy in the region.
Michigan promotes greater reliance on renewables
In December, Michigan, voted to increase its renewable energy standard to 15 percent from 10 percent by 2021.
The legislation also set a voluntary goal of satisfying 35 percent of the state's electricity demand through a combination of renewable sources, energy efficiency and demand reduction.
Boosting renewable energy standards has been a trend
Below are the states (and Washington, D.C.) that increased their renewable energy standards in the past two years. Click here for a complete list of the renewable energy standards that are in place in 29 states and Washington, D.C.
- Washington, D.C., boosted its mandate to 50 percent by 2032.
- New York raised its mandate to 50 percent by 2030.
- Rhode Island raised its requirement to 14.5 percent by 2019 and to 38.5 by 2035.
- Vermont went from a goal to a mandate that includes 55 percent by 2017 and 75 percent by 2032.
- Oregon amended its standard to 25 percent by 2025 and 50 percent by 2040.
- California went to 33 percent by 2020, 40 percent by 2024, 45 percent by 2027 and 50 percent by 2030.
- Hawaii boosted its standard to 30 percent by 2020, 40 percent by 2030, 70 percent by 2040 and 100 percent by 2025.
Will Ohio go backward?
Ohio's standard requires 12.5 percent renewables by 2027, but Republicans in the Ohio legislature want to weaken the requirement, if not get rid of it altogether.
But Ohio Gov. John Kasich, also a Republican, sees value in renewables and doesn't want the standards gutted.
After the Republican-controlled legislature voted last year to essentially continue a freeze on the standards for an additional two years, Kasich vetoed the bill.
In doing, Kasich credited Ohio's "wide range of energy generation options" with helping to grow jobs in the state over the past six years.
The bill "risks undermining this progress by taking away some of those energy generation options, particularly the very options most prized by the companies poised to create many jobs in Ohio in the coming years, such as high technology firms," Kasich stated in a press release.
It's possible that a revamped renewables standard will be part of a more comprehensive energy policy adopted by the legislature this year.

Climate Change and Tourism Features in the Caribbean
The tourist industry is widely recognised as the key engine of growth in the Caribbean, representing a significant source of foreign exchange earnings and employment. The present study provides an assessment of how climate change could likely impact on regional tourism features. The analysis is undertaken by comparing historical tourism climatic indices to those obtained under the various climate change scenarios. The results suggest that the biggest losers, in terms of deteriorations in their climatic features, are likely to be the Caribbean, Central America and South America.

Day 13 of the Health Activist Writer's Monthly Challenge, and an opportunity to write about the ten things I simply couldn't live without. The things I have chosen may not be essential to my survival were I marooned on a desert island, but together these things are the very stuff of my life as I know it. Some are indeed the things I would rush to save were my house on fire, bringing to mind an old column by the late Erma Bombeck about what's important to us beyond people, pets, and pictures.
- The telephone: not necessarily my very "smart" iPhone … an old rotary dial will do. I was telling my best friend this morning that some of the most significant relationships of my life have been conducted, almost entirely, on the phone including, of late, the one I have with her. There's too much busy freeway between our houses, too much traffic with which to contend. Far easier, sometimes, to carry on our conversations from the comfort of our own homes. Then, there are the long-distance phone calls with my mother that have officially marked the beginning of my weekends since I emigrated to America over 20 years ago; too, there are the more sporadic phone calls from childhood friends, the rhythm of home so familiar that we'll easily fall into conversation, picking up where we left off years ago. It is by telephone, not the written word, that I have delivered and received the most important news in my life, sometimes the kind that can't be shared quickly enough: "I got the job!" "I love you too." "I'm going to have a baby!" "It's a girl!" and the other kind that stops us cold, startling the silence too early in the morning or too late at night to be good news. From a friend whose husband has been killed in a car accident, "My darling is gone! Gone!" To a friend who, waiting for good news, answers on the first ring, only to hear, "I have cancer." Connected by silence. Connected by phone. Connected.
- Books: I cannot imagine a life without reading, a home without books, a wallet without a library card. I love to make a book my own, so on our shelves, my books are those with "signs of wear," dog-eared with great chunks of text underlined in red. One weekend last year, in a frenzy of "organizing," I decided it was time to give away some of my books.
A bit like cleaning out a closet where I have to create criteria for those clothes that will stay and those that need to go, I decided that the only books to stay would be those with hardback covers and those with inscriptions. Which means we really didn't give away too many. My favorites, to this day, include my Choice of Poets textbook and a collection of Modern Irish Short Stories both required reading in Fifth Form English. Edna O'Brien's novels, Seamus Heaney's poetry, Anna Quindlen's essays, and books signed by authors and "important people" who have visited Phoenix – Sherman Alexie's War Dances, a copy of The Good Friday Agreement which former Taoiseach John Bruton signed for me when he visited the World Council in Phoenix several years ago.
- My mother's wisdom :
When I was a girl, facing some dilemma or other, I'd ask my mother for advice. More often than not, she'd preface her answer to my question with this question, "What would the wise woman do?"
Hence, my daughter's beautiful name, Sophie, derived from the Greek for wisdom, and Elizabeth for my mother. Indeed, she is a very wise girl, strong without being harsh, gentle and kind without being a pushover.
- Music: After school, my friends and I used to go to Madden's Cafe in Antrim to buy a cup of coffee, a Cadbury's Bar Six, and a couple of tunes on the jukebox. A favorite was John Miles, "Music," and "This Boy" by The Beatles. The former appealed to me only because of its lyrics: "Music was my first love, it will be my last. Music of the future. Music of the past." Trite but true. As a child, I remember my father singing "Yellow Submarine" along with the car radio, then "Cecilia," my middle name. Then there was my aunt who brought her portable record-player along when she came to babysit. I remember her carefully placing her copy of "The Twist" on the turntable, and subsequently spinning me around the room. As childhood gave way to adolescence, my pocket money was no longer handed over to Golden's shop for sweets, but to Ronnie Miller's Pop-In record shop for LPs. By the time I went off to college, I had the beginnings of a fine album collection at my disposal. I started slowly with Joni Mitchell's "Blue," The Eagles "Hotel California," Dire Straits, "Tunnel of Love," Fleetwood Mac's "Rumors," Springsteen's "Born to Run," Jackson Browne's "Running on Empty," Neil Young's "Heart of Gold," to name only a few. When I got my student grant, I blew a sizable sum on a "hi-fi" system. Accordingly, my record collection grew exponentially to include Van Morrison, Joan Armatrading, Bob Dylan, J.J. Cale, Tom Waits, The Band, Dr. John, Steely Dan, The Rolling Stones, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Prince, Tom Petty, Frank Sinatra, Patsy Cline, U2. I remember buying Elton John's "Yellow Brick Road" only because the record itself was a bright lurid yellow. Then there were the mix tapes. Hundreds of them. Those of you who know, know that the mix tape was truly a labor of love – the effort required to make a playlist in iTunes pales in comparison. But nothing, nothing can compare to the live concert experience. My first "real" open-air concert was in 1982, The Rolling Stones' "farewell" concert. What an act. It would be the first of several trips to Slane Castle in Ireland. In fair weather, opening for The Stones that summer day was J. Geils Band, The Chieftains, and George Thorogood and the Destroyers. I wish I had the ticket stub, as opposed to some faraway photos of Mick Jagger strutting his stuff across the stage. While I haven't saved all my ticket stubs since 1982, those that remain trigger great memories of friends and family and great music all the way from a sunny afternoon with the Rolling Stones at Slane in 1982 to Christmas Eve 2011 with Bob Seger in Phoenix, Arizona.
- A bunch of flowers: Growing up in Ireland with green-thumbed parents, I took for granted the fresh and fragrant flowers that were readily available to me … stock and snapdragons, foxgloves and freesias, fuschia like tiny ballerinas hanging from well-tended pots in the greenhouse built by my father. Every year, there were delicate primroses, pansies, and some more exotic flowers started by "a wee slip" taken from something that had caught my mother's eye during a holiday in Tenerife or some such place. Beyond our garden, the field was dotted with daisies made into chains and buttercups that tickled chins. And in the woods, bluebells that were better left alone because they would droop sadly over my knuckles shortly after being plucked from the ground. I hear my beloved bluebells are now threatened because of over-picking, and I'm sad that I might not ever see one again. On a Sunday morning, dashing to catch the bus home from Belfast, I'd always leave enough time to buy a mixed bunch for my mother from the flower-stall outside Belfast City Hall. My favorite flower-seller wore a tweed cap, smelled of Woodbine cigarettes, one of which was stuck behind his ear, the other hung out of the corner of his mouth. He always called me sweetheart. One day he gave me a bunch just because. There was never any danger of my Sunday bouquet wilting before I presented it to my mother whereupon it was immediately arranged in a vase on our hall table. Thousands of miles and a lifetime away in the months we Phoenicians dare to call winter, the flower bed by my front door is fragrant with my father's favorite – freesias. Petunias flourish in all shades of purple along with lobelia and sweet alyssum. Even hyacinths, tulips, narcissi, and gladioli will have their fifteen minutes of fame. Once, by some miracle, even the delicate toadflax found its way into our flowerbed. The Phoenix summer, however, arrives with a vengeance, intolerant of delicate annuals. The grass is yellowed and parched, the flowerbeds empty, the trees tired. So our attention turns to our backyard, where hummingbirds and bees flit among Arizona desert plants yellow lantana, blue plumbago, and golden Arizona bells, vivid orange honeysuckle, and purple sage. None of these, however, belong in a vase, which means I have to add "flowers" to my grocery list. Sure enough, I'll find what I'm looking for, flowers that have made their way to Phoenix in a refrigerated truck reminding me that cooler weather is really not that far away. Perhaps because he has grown up in the desert, my husband doesn't fully appreciate the pursuit of fresh cut flowers. Nonetheless, for over two decades, he has made sure that tulips, lilies, daisies, or yellow roses make an appearance on Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, my birthday, our anniversary. Following surgery this January, the flowers also arrived. The cancer had not spread to the lymph nodes. Cause for celebration. For flowers. For lilies. The most beautiful and lasting of all, a bouquet of Stargazers penciled and chalked in pastel by my darling girl.
- Anticipation of the ocean: I'd been in the United States for a couple of years, and I was homesick. I just wanted to stare out at the ocean which seemed another world away from the desert southwest. I remember it was a Friday afternoon. We had nothing else to do, still years before Sophie was born, so we got in the car and started driving. No map. No GPS. No specific destination, other than "ocean." That night, we were in Los Angeles, and I was inhaling the sea air. The next evening, we were in Pismo Beach, strolling along the pier. As if to put America's vastness to the test, we just kept driving. We stopped by a lighthouse where we balanced the camera on the car, set the self-timer, and took a picture of ourselves, windswept and clinging to each other, completely unaware that a decade later, we would stand once again on that very same spot, smiling for a picture that would be taken by our little girl. Pacific Coast Highway was not quite as far away from the Antrim Coast road after all.
- Where I'm from: I loved the Antrim of my childhood, a town bustling with young families. There were always plenty of children to play with, and plenty of green spaces, including the remains of Antrim Castle a reminder that something grand once stood there.
8. My MacBook Pro and the internet: Its lightness and portability belies its power to keep me connected to all those things I love. At lightning speed, I can visit a bijou bookstore in New York city, or search for a new job, or teach myself how to do almost anything. In this virtual life, I am a part of milestone moments with friends and family that are captured and shared via YouTube or Facebook. News comes quickly of birthdays, graduations, first steps, career changes, illness, death. While I love the connection, I am also increasingly aware of how quickly time is passing. I'll sit down to send a quick e-mail, and an hour or two later, I'm still online, distracted by someone else's news. But then, offline, life isn't a whole lot different.
9. Words and pictures: For my birthday several years ago, my husband bought a beautiful fountain pen. I'd made myself a promise that I would resume the practice of writing in a diary each evening, and with a nod to the teachers who only accepted work in ink, I would use a fountain pen. Sadly, the pen remains unused, but the words have flown once again. Since cancer came calling, I have been compelled to write. My husband loves that I love writing, but I'm sure it's taking some getting used to. As befits her age, my daughter just doesn't want me to write anything about her. Well, perhaps she won't read this for a while. Just as I am the family photographer, I am also the historian, the collector of all the documentation of our lives: scrapbooks, handmade birthday cards, photographs, letters from the tooth fairy, letters to Santa, postcards, my mother's recipes, handwritten letters from home. Why does anyone write? In "Personal Helicon" Seamus Heaney writes:
I rhyme, to see myself, to set the darkness echoing.
To see myself. To turn inward and then outward again, to know who I am within and beyond the world of myself.
10. Our daughter's laughter: If Sophie's laugh were a color, it would be yellow, like the sunshine that spills into our front room every morning, reminding me often of my mother and her mother before her, urging their daughters to "follow the sun."
She is the perfect combination of the very best of her father and me – sensitive yet strong, spirited and independent in a way I'm not quite ready for, and she doesn't suffer fools gladly. When she was just three, I used to read "Oh My Baby Little One" to her every night. A beautifully illustrated book, it helped ease the goodbyes every morning when I dropped her off at pre-school. It is helping again. Sometimes, in an unguarded moment during the course of my workday, I'll wonder what she's doing at school, and I'll find myself smiling as I recall her as a three year old, fighting sleep and poring the illustrations of that book, searching for the love – a tiny red heart – cleverly hidden on each page.

THE ghost of Alastair Cook is hovering ominously over an exhausted Australia in Ranchi, with Steve Smith's men now under enormous pressure to bat out Monday and save the third Test.
Australia was pushed to breaking point on Sunday, forced to slug it out for a gruelling 210 overs in the field – their most arduous bowling experience in more than four decades – before opener David Warner and nightwatchman Nathan Lyon both had their off-stumps knocked over in the shadows of stumps by Ravi Jadeja.
A manic Virat Kohli celebrated Warner's prized wicket by sprinting past the Australian dressing room grabbing his supposedly injured shoulder in glee – the taunts of a captain who believes his side are charging to victory.
At stumps Australia was hanging on for dear life at 2-23 and still 129 runs from making India bat again, with Smith required to back up and play the innings of his life if his side are to head to a final Test decider in Dharamsala locked at 1-1.
"Obviously we've got to save the game," said an upbeat coach Darren Lehmann.
"It's tough to lose those two wickets, they were some good balls from them.
"It's a good challenge for the group to put it into practice (what we've worked on) and we've got to do that and deliver on the big stage.
MARATHON EFFORT: Aussie bowlers left at breaking point
"Once the ball gets a little bit softer it plays pretty well so there's no real demons in the track.
The Daily Telegraph's Ben Horne and The Australian's Peter Lalor give their verdicts on what Australia has to do after India's epic fourth day display.
"It's a case of obviously applying ourselves much like Pujara and Saha did today.
"I'm really confident they can do the job and see how they go. We're going to have to come up with a plan to combat Jadeja but we've worked on that and you'll see it (today).
"They've got to believe in what they're doing as a group."
Only 25 teams in Test history have suffered gut-wrenching defeat after scoring 450 in the first innings, but one of those instances was just before Christmas in Chennai when India came from nowhere to swamp Cook's Englishmen on a dramatic last day.
The draw seems a long, long way away for an Australian side that scored 451 batting first, as a crushing 199-run partnership between Cheteshwar Pujara (202) and Wriddhiman Saha (117) turned the match on its head and put the onus on the tourists to hold their nerve and not crumble as England did.
Australia resumed on day four ahead by 97 runs, but by the time Virat Kohli announced his declaration they were 152 runs behind, thanks largely to Pujara's epic 11-hour knock that kept Smith's weary soldiers out in the field for the best part of two and a half days.
Then it was over to the world's No.1 spinner Ravi Jadeja to continue Warner and Australia's heartache.
Jadeja brutally ended Cook's captaincy career with a barnstorming seven-wicket haul earlier in the summer, and he is the danger man again on a pitch that so far has played as dead as a doorknob.
Warner and Lyon stood no chance as Jadeja found something in a surface that Steve O'Keefe could not in 77 overs of bowling.
In contrast to the rapid-fire affairs in Pune and Bangalore, this Test match has so far produced more than 1000 runs for only 21 wickets – but Australia find themselves on red alert.
Pat Cummins (4-106) looked as though he was set to rip open the Indian tail in just the second over of the day, only for Saha to survive on DRS – and from there Australia's hopes went up in flames in a nightmare day, not taking a wicket until well into the final session.
O'Keefe bowled the most balls ever by an Australian player in a Test innings in India, and the sixth most all time anywhere in the world.
Concerns were also starting to mount about the workload on Cummins (39 overs), who with just one Sheffield Shield match under his belt, will be crucial in Dharamsala.
Australia has competed brilliantly all series but yesterday was by far their most hellish day on tour, with a dropped catch by Matthew Wade and more DRS frustration adding insult to injury.
Pujara's knock was one of the all-time great exhibitions of concentration and resolve, as he chewed up 525 balls at the crease after coming in at No.3 – the most ever by an Indian.
The Australians had a couple of looks at Saha, but Pujara was a brick wall, utterly faultless in an innings which –if it doesn't prove match-winning – could go a long way to pushing the mental state of his opponents to the absolute limits.
In that Chennai Test against England – the second time Cook's side lost in that series scoring in excess of 400 in the first innings – Indian stars Lokesh Rahul (199) and Karun Nair (303) turned the match on its head.
Pujara has played a similarly inspirational role for his side in Ranchi.
Australia can take confidence from the batting aptitude they've displayed all along this tour, and the fact this Ranchi track has been almost completely lifeless.
However, it was a flat pitch in Chennai where England went to lunch on the fifth day 0-97 and went into the last session with six wickets still in hand – only to be rolled by Jadeja with nine overs left in the match.
Jadeja took five wickets in the first innings and is the only spinner in this match who has looked threatening.
The loss of Warner served as a major body blow for Australia.
Keeper Wade had a poor morning with the gloves, putting down a chance off Saha when the lower order batsman was 51 not out – apologising to bowler O'Keefe for dropping one that should have been caught.
To add to the frustration, captain Steve Smith burnt a review in the final over before lunch off Nathan Lyon's bowling, and Australia now only have one left in the bank for the rest of the day.
Cummins thought he had his fifth wicket with his very first ball of the day, but the lbw decision on Saha was overturned by the third umpire with replays showing it was missing leg.
Lyon also had an lbw decision rewarded to him from umpire Ian Gould, but that too was successfully reviewed by Saha, again going down the leg side.
On a docile pitch Australia will back themselves to bat out the game, but if India's lead becomes too great scoreboard pressure will come into play and the threat of a collapse will be hanging over the top order.

10 Crucial Marketing Questions for Every New Business Owner
Have you decided to become an entrepreneur? Congratulations!
Marketing will be one of the most important factors in the success of your new business. So before you put your name on the door, consider this:
Every business, no matter how small, needs a marketing plan that outlines objectives, positioning, messaging, targeted audiences, channels, tactics, promotions, and implementation.
Whether you develop that plan yourself or hire a marketing consultant or agency, there are 10 key questions every new business owner must answer for a smart marketing strategy from my experience helping entrepreneurs launch businesses:
- What is the rationale for your business? Why are you starting a business? What do you want to achieve? Your marketing team will need to understand your vision and passion in order to promote your new enterprise.
- How will you make money? What factors will impact the profitability of your business? Your marketing goals and budget should reflect your business plan.
- How will you sell your products and services? What is the sales process and what are your primary sales channels? Your marketing plan should include tools and tactics to support each step of the process in each channel.
- Who is the customer? Your marketing team will need to understand the characteristics and demographics of an ideal customer to create and deliver the right marketing messages to the right audiences.
- What do your customers need? What are prospects looking for when considering a company like yours? Knowing what motivates buyers and the factors that influence their selection of a vendor is essential to creating engaging campaigns.
- Who are your competitors and how do they market? Your marketing advisors will want to study the marketing approaches and positioning of your competitors to differentiate your business in a competitive marketplace.
- Why should someone buy from you? As a new venture, you may be up against entrenched suppliers who dominate the market. What makes your products and services superior to theirs? You need a short, simple answer to the question of why someone should choose to do business with you.
- What should your brand represent? Your brand is a promise to customers of what your business stands for, what you deliver, and what they will experience as your customer. You must be able to define the brand promise from the customer's point of view.
- What have you done so far with marketing? Do you have a name? A brand identity? A URL, website, social media accounts? You'll need all these marketing fundamentals in order to begin. A marketing consultant or agency can help you create a high-impact name, brand, and web presence.
- What resources do you have for marketing? What's your marketing budget? Who will manage the marketing function? New business owners often need to focus on delivering products and services instead of developing and implementing a marketing plan. Don't let your personal bandwidth for marketing management become an obstacle. Get external help or hire in-house marketing expertise to build a marketing foundation that enables your new business to grow and succeed.

Everyone loves dippy egg and soldiers. Don't we?
I had to tell you about a new product I've discovered. It's an egg-boiling gadget called an Eiko Egg Cup Boiler.
Looks good, doesn't it?
It seems to tick all the boxes for making - and eating - perfect boiled eggs. The plastic cup fits over the top of the pan you're boiling your eggs in, so the eggs don't bob about in the bubbles while the water is simmering, and accidentally crack. They have a different colour, so you can remember who's egg is which and take them out of the water according to how runny you need them. And you can get colour-coded spoons, too, to go with them.
The only problem, it seems, is if you are cooking your eggs on a gas stove. (They're only recommended for electric hobs).
Find out more at Cuckooland - the Eiko Egg Cup Boiler is available in a pack of four for £12. the spoons are available in a pack of four for £6.

The functions of activating members of the killer cell Ig-like receptor (KIR) family are not fully understood, as the ligands for these receptors are largely unidentified. In this study, we report that KIR2DS2 reporter cells recognize a ligand expressed by cancer cell lines. All cancer targets recognized by KIR2DS2 were also recognized by KIR2DL2 and KIR2DL3 reporters. Trogocytosis of membrane proteins from the cancer targets was observed with responding reporter cells, indicating the formation of KIR2DS2 ligand–specific immunological synapses. HLA-C typing of target cells showed that KIR2DS2 recognition was independent of the HLA C1 or C2 group, whereas targets cells that were only recognized by KIR2DL3 expressed C1 group alleles. Anti–HLA class I Abs blocked KIR2DL3 responses toward C1-expressing targets, but they did not block KIR2DS2 recognition of cancer cells. Small interfering RNA knockdown of β2-microglobulin reduced the expression of class I H chain on the cancer targets by >97%, but it did not reduce the KIR2DS2 reporter responses, indicating a β2-microglobulin–independent ligand for KIR2DS2. Importantly, KIR2DL3 responses toward some KIR2DS2 ligand–expressing cells were also undiminished after β2-microglobulin knockdown, and they were not blocked by anti–HLA class I Abs, suggesting that KIR2DL3, in addition to the traditional HLA-C ligands, can bind to the same β2-microglobulin–independent ligand as KIR2DS2. These observations indicate the existence of a novel, presently uncharacterized ligand for the activating NK cell receptor KIR2DS2. Molecular identification of this ligand may lead to improved KIR-HLA mismatching in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation therapy for leukemia and new, more specific NK cell–based cancer therapies.

The world was shocked when Mary J. Blige filed for divorce from her husband of 12 years Martin "Kendu" Isaacs. And now our bottom lip is dragging the floor because Isaacs is demanding a shocking $129,319 per month from his superstar wife.
According to TMZ, Isaacs wants to continue to live the lavish lifestyle he was accustomed to living while with Mary. Martin, who was also Mary's manager, said the singer made anything from $1.5 to $5.1 million over the last 2 years. Isaacs also says there is a prenup but should not be permissible in court because he signed it without a lawyer being present.

My decision to come to Colombia can be best described as out-of-the-blue and last minute. Having started my trip in Peru, and my original plan to visit Bolivia and Argentina no longer being appealing, I decided to make the trip north and travel to Colombia. I am now only two weeks into my Colombia adventure, and I might never ever leave it.
Having barely done any research and gone with word of mouth advice from fellow travellers, I stepped into Colombia both excited and with some trepidation. I had no plans in terms of which cities to see, which sights there were, or even where to start my journey…but isn't that what a life of travel is about? The unknown sure made it feel adventurous and exciting!
So how is Colombia?
Well, it's beautiful, it's cities are safe, its food is delicious, its people are welcoming, and the views are amazing…and I still have to visit the north of the country.
First Impressions Are Everything
I came into Colombia by land, and it welcomed me with one of its nicest sights! THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CHURCH IN THE WORLD!!! The Santuario de las Lajas.
This beautiful sanctuary sits on a bridge on top of a river surrounded by green mountains and waterfalls. The sounds of nature only add to its beauty. The simple view of it is astonishing and left me in complete awe.
Even though there was nothing else (really, nothing else) to do or see in Ipiales, this beautiful church is worth the 15 minute taxi ride from the bus terminal. I had a full hour and a half between the time I arrived and the time my next bus left, which was more than enough to get to the church and back, and spend a good amount of time admiring the sight.
Southern Colombia's Endless Hiking Opportunities
Much like the rest of South America, the south of Colombia is surrounded by what seems an endless array of mountains and cloud forests. And you know, where there are mountains, there are many opportunities for a hike!
Pasto and the Azufral Volcano – Laguna Verde
My first destination once I crossed the border was the small city of Pasto. It was meant to be a one night short stay….I stayed for 3 nights. And it is not that there is that much to do in the city; actually, there is nothing to do. But it was a new friend's experience hiking the Azufral volcano all the way to Laguna Verde, a green lake sitting on top of the volcano at 4000 meters above sea level (m.a.s.) which got me to extend my stay.
Getting to the lake requires a 5 kilometer walk, going from 3200 m.a.s. to 4000 m.a.s. The hike towards the lake is not hard, although the trail goes up it is not a steep walk. Towards the end it requires going down 400 meters through what I refer to as a small cliff to get to the lake. This one is not hard, until I had to leave the lake and come up the same way, always causing me to literally spit my lungs out.
But was it ever worth it! The lake was of the greenest color I could have ever imagined! The views both from the top and near the water were mesmerizing, and even though the whole lake smelled like rotten egg (volcano sulfur mixed with the water), the experience was quite out of this world. And the best of it all??? We had the place for ourselves :).
I dipped my feet into the lake, the cold freezing water quickly became boiling hot, so much I had to jump off to a new freezing spot. Oh volcanoes…
Tierradentro National Archeological Park – Underground Tombs
Word of mouth led me to this somewhat off-the-beaten-path site for one of the most amazing treks I've had to do on my own, and some underground tombs.
Hiking for 2 hours on a very steep mountain and going from 1600 m.a.s. to 2100 m.a.s. while fighting the rain and cloud forests covering my way, the sense of accomplishment when I saw the first tombs was quite indescribable. It would take me another 4 to complete the hike and get back to town while seeing some of the other tombs and statues on the way. On the way there were countless breathtaking views from above, I passed through many cliffs and clouds, as well as small houses of people living nearby. Cows, horses, and more.
Best of all, this is one hike anyone can do on their own, even though the rough terrain and lack of clear markers make the trail a bit treacherous.
The Cocora Valley
OK…this one is more towards the center than the south…but still worth a mention. I went to the Cocora Valley for a relatively "short" 5-hour hike, which took me to see a variety of hummingbirds and giant palm trees.
I had never felt so insignificant in my life until I stood besides one of these! I honestly thought dinosaurs would appear and roam around this place.
Its Cities
Whether it's colonial Popayán or colorful Salento, Colombia's cities burst with live and beauty.
Popayán is slow paced and, although small, is worth a visit for a couple of days not only for its colonial buildings, but also for its surroundings.
Salento feels like the city that time left behind. Authentic, colorful, laidback, this is the city that made me overstay my welcome 🙂 I just keep stretching my stay here.
Its People
Having been to most countries in South America, I can say that Colombians are among the most welcoming welcoming and kind people in the continent. Everywhere I go people are warm and willing to help, whether it is with directions, recommendations on where to go and what to see. It is not uncommon for locals to strike a conversation on any subject.
Colombians are proud people, they're proud of their paisa heritage and their land. One of the things I love about Colombians is that whenever I say "gracias", they always respond to "a la orden" (at your service).
As I write this I am only closing my 2nd week of being in Colombia, and I have literally fallen head over heels for this country. I have yet to visit any of the big cities like Medellin or Bogotá. If they are any similar to Pasto, Popayán, or Salento…I might never go back to Canada.
Have you been to Colombia? What are your highlights of this country? And your favorite city?

Game four of the Stanley Cup finals is played, of course, at Pittsburgh's Mellon Arena. This place, once known as the Civic Arena and nicknamed the Igloo, is the oldest in the league, having opened its' doors in 1961. It holds about 17,000 people, is old, it leaks in places, and some people can't see because an overhead structure obstructs their view. So televisions have been placed so they can watch the game they're at on the screen.
The Civic Arena became the home of the Penguins when the team entered the league in the 1967 expansion. The name was changed to Mellon in 1999, and was, like several other arenas around the league, named for a bank.
When game five goes in Detroit, it will be, as always, played at the Joe Louis Arena, named after Detroit native and world champion boxer Joe Louis. It's nice that this arena isn't named after a bank or some other conglomerate.
The Joe has been around since 1979, and before that, the Wings played at the old Olympia, home of Gordie Howe, Alex Delvecchio, Terry Sawchuk, and several hundred dead octopi.
It holds just over 20,000.

The government says it will petition the Supreme Court to hear its leave to
appeal in the jail-killings case once the appeals proceedings in the Sheikh
Mujibur Rahman assassination case are complete.
Prime minister Sheikh Hasina, honouring the memory of the four national leaders killed in Dhaka Central Jail on Nov 3 1975, said the case would be revived.
Addressing a programme at the Bangabandhu International Conference Centre in Tuesday in observance of 'Jail Killing Day', she called for a united effort against "the politics of killing".
"Retrials in the jail killings case will be held. We must be aware of sabotage. We want to stop the politics of killing for ever."

Tiny hands, big feats
On any given day at the 1.3-million-square-foot, state-of-the-art Christiana Hospital in the US state of Delaware, you may spot a quiet but phenomenal doctor with remarkably tiny hands.
Those hands have been at the heart of more than 2,000 miracles for kidney patients who needed a new lease on life.
But if Barbadian Dr Velma Scantlebury was not bold enough to turn the medical profession in the United States upside down, she would have abandoned her dream after detractors told her she had no business in the medical profession because her hands were too small and she was the wrong colour.
The stubborn Dr Scantlebury, who was taken from the Alleyne Secondary School in the land of her birth kicking and screaming to the Big Apple when she was 14 years old, somehow determined she would take on the big change.
"Failure was not an option for me . . . . People often ask 'so what was your option if you didn't make it?' Well, I didn't have a second choice; I didn't have a plan B."
More than four decades later, mission accomplished. But the humble doctor who is currently the Associate Director of the Kidney Transplant Programme at the Christiana Hospital quickly downplays the fact that she is the first ever African American female transplant surgeon, received the 2003 honour of the Best Doctor in America and was named one of the Top Doctors in America in 2004 and 2006 – and that's not even all.
"It was not about scoring firsts, no. My goal going into medicine was to be able to help people," she says.
It was personal tragedy that inspired her desire to become a doctor from as young as eight years old.
She lost a beloved sister and was dismayed by the fact that she was powerless to help, so she silently declared she would become a doctor.
Still, it wasn't until she had to pen an essay about her future career that her wish to save lives emerged.
"It seems that being able to put it on paper solidified it," she reflects.
Her ambitious parents were determined to see their child's dreams fulfilled and they headed to the "Land of Opportunity".
However, it was a rude awakening for the smart teenager who had to confront and overcome racism in high school.
"The transition was difficult because we moved to Brooklyn. Being a West Indian in Brooklyn was not pleasant . . . . There was a lot of teasing and ridicule from being from the islands at that time," she recalled.
The young Scantlebury pressed on to win a four-year scholarship to the Brooklyn Campus of Long Island University and then graduated with honours.
The way was clear for the would-be-doctor to move closer to her career, and she did, gaining a place at the prestigious Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, at the prodding of a fellow Barbadian.
"I was astonished when I got the interview and that was history for me," she said.
It was there that Dr Scantlebury realized that being a surgeon was her calling.
"Dissecting the body in anatomy class opened my eyes to see this is my passion."
Her excitement and curiosity to discover the world of medicine was put to the test as her work level mounted and detractors tested her mettle.
"I was told that I only got in because they needed a token black. But that was fine; it got me where I wanted to go. I was told that I didn't have what it took to become surgeon, I was too small, and I was discouraged when my preceptor refused to write a letter of recommendation for me to be a surgeon," she said.
Not immune to the pressures, Dr Scantlebury thought it was time to give up and return home. But her parents had other ideas.
"I went home and said I was not going back and my parents would say 'yes you are, or leave. You have to go back'."
So she dug in her heels and went on to land her first job at Harlem Hospital in New York where she worked as an intern and resident in general surgery, leaning on the support of her mentor, Director of Pediatic Surgery Dr Barbara Barlow. And life improved.
"Once I got to Harlem Hospital and realized that most of the residents were black, it wasn't as much of a hardship because we all were in the same boat struggling to achieve the same thing and it was a better learning experience," she said.
It was there Dr Scantlebury performed her first surgery and there was no turning back for the young doctor.
"I was on the floor and this lady walked up. She had just had a baby and she said 'I need to see someone because my doctor said I have gall stones. I need to have my gall bladder out', and I said 'ok, I am right on it'."
After a jovial fight with her colleagues about who would get the job, Dr Scantlebury won.
"I said, 'I saw her first, it's mine', but someone said 'you don't know how to take a catheter out', and I said, 'but I will by the time I get there'. So my senior resident took me to the cadaver lab and we practised taking out a gall bladder," she recalled.
"I got teased when I went into the OR [operating room] and it was a frightful experience but I was able to do it. That was a boost to my self-esteem as an intern. I can still see that lady standing at the desk to this day."
With her first surgery under her belt, the young doctor decided she wanted to follow in the footsteps of her mentor and become a pediatric surgeon.
During her residency, she spent six months involved in research on kidney transplants in animals and this shifted her love from pediatric surgery to transplantation.
The indomitable Dr Scantlebury was subsequently awarded a research fellowship at University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine where she worked closely with prominent doctor Dr Thomas Starlz.
"So I did everything in the abdomen – liver transplantation, kidney transplantation, pancreas transplantation, so I was a multi-organ transplant surgeon."
She subsequently concentrated on kidney transplants and is regarded as a pioneer in the field.
The devout Christian shares: "I think God gives us a mission and we have to make the best of it. You want to be the best with what you have."
This International Women's Day, this giant of a woman is advising ladies everywhere to take the risk and be bold for change.
"Be willing to step outside the box. There are always going to be fears in being adventurous. I thank my parents for being able to go just beyond the norm, and I think women and young people have to envision themselves beyond what they think they can do."
4 Responses to Tiny hands, big feats
Dr Scantlebury is an eminent role model for women and an inspiration to us all. She overcame every obstacle to achieve her goal, without sacrificing her integrity.
As a man who has several sisters I have always had great difficulty in rationalizing why the genders are treated so differently. The institutional discrimination women generally encounter is irrational, unnatural and counter-productive for it deprives the human race 50% of it's intellectual capacity.
The good doctor has, like the first black US President also pppanswered the lie promoted by the Neanderthals, that black people are inferior. Thank you sister and long may you continue to inspire us all.
thanks to God, you did great,
A giant of an inspiration to all. May continued success and happiness be hers
Congrats . To God be the glory! We wish you continued success in the future
