Firstly, I think I need to let you know the results of my market entries. Sadly, I had zero success. I was trying to prepare myself for the fact that that could happen, but I think I was secretly hoping I'd sell at least one thing! Anyway, I've tried it and have a better idea of what to do next time. I was also told that not a lot of things sold – many people were looking but not buying, so it may have just been in the wrong market for the time. But, failure teaches us things and I'll be better equipped in the future!
Earlier this year, I wrote about my experiments with reusable dishcloths. I'm still using them and still loving them. My only problem was that I still needed to buy non-scratch scourers for cleaning my pots and pans. I had been seeing "scrubby" yarn online for a while and this yarn seemed to be used to make just such a product, the only problem was it was very expensive – especially when you added in the shipping charge to Australia. However, Lincraft finally started stocking their version of this yarn. I bought some and made up a quick little flower dishcloth scrubby. I haven't photographed it, but it is probably the size of my palm. It is not quite as effective as a store bought scourer, but it does do the job with just a little bit of elbow grease – and the benefit is that it is washable and reusable! So, when I'm scrubbing away and feeling a bit grumpy that I'm having to scrub so hard, I just remind myself of the environmental benefits of what I am using and my patience is restored!
I do also think that a bigger scrubby might be a little easier to handle. I knitted up a Santa belly one for Christmas and will have to give it a go to see if the larger size is easier to use and if the knitted weave is better or worse that the crocheted one.
A lot of what we do as crafters and just in life is experimentation – trying different methods until we find the one that works just right for our own needs. And when it involves crochet or knitting, I'm happy to experiment away as much as I can!!

Have you ever read Psalm 91? A couple of months ago my sweet sister-in-law advised me to read it because it had offered her some comfort during a stressful time. I was feeling overwhelmed with all the end 0f school year mayhem at the time and Psalm 91 brought peace to my soul. It's a powerfully reassuring passage of scripture!
[Quick side note: I enjoy reading a passage of scripture in several translations to see the different word choices and all]. The subtitle above the text in the New American Standard translation says – "Security of the One Who Trusts in the LORD". I loved the word "security". Who offers the security? The Lord. What brings that security? Trusting in the Lord. Is His provision of security based on my thinking, my feelings, or my thoughts about myself or circumstances? No, because His provision of security for me is perfect, but my experiencing that security is largely dependent on my mindset. To the extent I surrender myself to Him and entrust all things to Him is to the extent I really experience that security.
I love that it is my Perfect Protector, God Almighty who delivers me (v3), who covers me…under His wings and that it is His faithfulness that is my shield (v4). And His angels are guarding all my ways so there are others watching out for me, too (v11).
Try putting your name in the scripture, and hear God saying to you and to me: Raquel (insert your name where you see my name), when you dwell in My shelter (when your heart and mind dwell on My character, My goodness, My power, and not on your own thoughts, feelings, doubts, and weaknesses) then you will abide in My shadow (v1). Raquel, I am the One who delivers you and covers you under My wings (v3). It is My faithfulness that is your shield (v4), and my angels are guarding all your ways (v11).
On this 4th of July, I'd like to thank all the men and women who have provided me, my family, and loved ones the security we enjoy in America. My prayer for each of you is that you all dwell in the security and protection of the Most High as you serve to provide us freedom.

The Closer
Mary McDonnell ("Battlestar Galactica") will return for no less than five episodes for the show's upcoming sixth season says Entertainment Weekly.
McDonnell will reprise her role as Captain Sharon Raydor which she played in three episodes last season, and will become a wedge between Brenda (Kyra Sedgwick) and Pope (J.K. Simmons).
The sixth season kicks off on TNT in July.
Walking Dead
AMC have officially ordered a six-episode first season of the zombie drama says The Hollywood Reporter with Jonny Lee Miller ("Mindhunters," "Eli Stone") in talks to play the lead says Bloody Disgusting.
Based on Robert Kirkman's comic, Miller would play Rick Grimes, a police officer who leads a group of zombie survivors in search of a safe place to live during the apocalypse.
Shooting begins this June in Atlanta for a premiere in October.
Shooting kicked off last week in Ireland on the resurrected ITV series "Primeval" reports IFTN via Digital Spy.
The production run will continue through to November on thirteen episodes that will make up a seven-episode fourth and six-episode fifth season to air next year.
Set several months after the series three cliffhanger, the story picks up with Connor (Andrew-Lee Potts) and Abby (Hannah Spearritt) stuck in the distant past. Ben Miller, Ben Mansfield and other cast members will return while Ciaran McMenamin and Ruth Kearney will join as new characters.
Doctor Who
The Radio Times has unleashed a photo gallery of something many fans have been keen to see – the brand new three-level TARDIS interior set. As it's a photo shoot, the colors look to have been over-saturated compared with the actual look of the set on finished film so take that into account when viewing the gallery.
The money shot is this wide shot showing four staircases leading to different rooms within the machine.
Meanwhile the BBC has released the opening 42-seconds of the season premiere kicking off directly after 'The End of Time' with the damaged TARDIS and regenerated Doctor hurtling towards Earth.

The selectors include three inexperienced players in the team and probably two of them in the first ODI will get the cap. And after this series selectors will drop them and give a excuse,"They are unable to fulfill our expectation". In the next series again they will bring some players from under19 team. This discarded players might join next year ICL. ICL should choose some of this selectors for their own league so that they can help them to find some young genius.

Scleral Lenses &
Corneal Topography
Lynette Johns OD FAAO FSLS
Schornack et al. reviewed the fits and topographies of 54 eyes wearing standard Jupiter scleral lenses for dry eye conditions or keratoconus.1 While there was a loose correlation between the reference sphere and the steep and flat keratometry readings, they concluded that diagnostic fitting may still be required. When fitting scleral devices, topographers may not provide a valuable measurement for starting the fitting; however, they can be a great asset to guide care during and after the fitting.
We fit scleral devices on a 44-year-old keratoconus patient wearing very flat-fitting corneal (R)GP lenses over piggyback soft contact lenses. Her vision with the piggyback lenses was 20/30+2 OD and 20/30-2 OS. There were multiple anterior subepithelial elevated opacities OS>OD. Initial topographies showed central irregularities inconsistent with typical keratoconus patterns.
The scleral devices were well-vaulting (>400 micron) and provided adequate room for her corneas to unmold. Diagnostic devices with varying amounts of front-surface eccentricity (FSE) were trialed. The right eye accepted 0.8 FSE (7.9 base curve, +3.00 power), and the left accepted 0.6 FSE (7.9 base curve, +3.00 power) to optimize the acuity. Her initial acuity was 20/30+2 in both right and left eyes with her devices. With the same lenses two weeks later, the acuity changed to 20/50-1 OD and 20/50-2 OS. She rejected optical FSE at that visit (OD: 7.9 base curve, +1.00 power; OS: 7.9 base curve, +0.25 power). Her second pair of devices corrected her to 20/25-2 OD and 20/30-1 OS, and the fit remained the same. The topographies from that visit suggested steepening of the ectasia, but still an irregular pattern.
Four months later, the topographies demonstrated a more traditional keratoconus pattern, suggesting that the corneas had unmolded from the flat-fitting corneal (R)GP lenses. Her acuity measured 20/30 OD and 20/50 OS. She accepted 0.8 FSE in both eyes (OD: 7.9 base curve, +2.25 power; OS: 7.5 base curve, +2.75 power), and she achieved 20/30+2 OD and 20/30 OS with less ghosting. The vault was narrow over her left cornea, requiring a 200 micron increase.
Right eye initial (top), after 2 weeks (middle) and
four months (bottom)
Our office uses diagnostic trial devices to begin our fits. We do not use topography as a starting point, but we order one for all of our ectasia and post-transplant cases. In this case, topographical changes may explain the vision fluctuation that we observed with the same device between visits. Perhaps the changes in her topographies altered her higher-order aberrations through the device. If we had waited for the corneal topography to stabilize, we may have reduced the number of devices we dispensed. However, that would have compromised her visual functioning during the unmolding process, and she may have returned to her corneal lenses. Topography served as a great educational tool for the patient and provided reassurance and an explanation of her visual experience.
The changes in vision and topography prompted us to trial different optics to enhance her vision during the corneal unmolding process. The final powers varied with different amounts of asphericity, indicating the need to use trial lenses with FSE combined with over-refractions to determine the best acuity and optical quality for the patient. Aspheric optics may enhance the vision of patients wearing devices for ectasia.2

Dr. Lynette Johns has been the senior optometrist at the Boston Foundation for Sight since 2005.
She is a graduate of the New England College of Optometry where she completed a residency in cornea and contact lenses. She is adjunct clinical faculty at the New England College of Optometry.
Dr. Johns is a fellow of the American Academy of Optometry and a fellow of the Scleral Lens Education Society.

Exam Review
County regulation states that students must receive an exam review. Exam reviews should be a minimum of one day (two days in 1st period) and a maximum of three days (five days in 1st period). In an attempt to offer examinations that support deeper learning, The Depth of Knowledge Chart is attached to give examples of question types that can be developed.
Exam Exemptions
The students exempt from final exams will not receive a second semester exam grade on their report card. The student's second semester grade will be determined by averaging the grades from the third and fourth nine-week marking periods.
Senior Exam Information:
Senior Exams will begin Thursday, May 24, and end Wednesday, May 30. Seniors will have a mandatory graduation practice on Thursday, May 31, and Friday, June 1 at 8:00 a.m. Attendance is taken at graduation practices and students who do not attend practice will not participate in the graduation ceremony.
To give an exam on the senior schedule, your class must be made up of at least 50% seniors. If you have a class with less than 50% seniors, then you should make special arrangements to test only the seniors early. The other students should take the exam on the regular schedule. Remember – this is very important – underclassmen are not excused from the rest of the school year and you cannot tell them not to come. Please do not tell students that they are not required to be in school. You should plan to be in your classroom instructing students during this time.
Underclassmen Exam Information
Underclassmen exams will begin on Tuesday, June 5 and end on Friday, June 8. June 5 will be a normal dismissal day. June 6 and 7 will be an 11:30 a.m. dismissal day. June 8 will be a 10:00 a.m. dismissal day.

Climacium seems to be quite frequent around the airport - I've seen it in a couple of places near the perimeter fence. Looking at MapMate, this species seems to have a northern and western distribution in Glam - though of course I don't have all the records in my system.ReplyDelete
I've never recorded P. cuspidatum.

The meaning of life and the ultimate truth is a very controversial and subjective issue to talk about. Some people have a bunch of opinions about it while others don't believe in it in the first place. I was really thinking about this topic as I was brainstorming last week. I just could not come up with an answer. So I did what you do when you have a question but do not know the answer, I asked people. From Social Media platforms to people I met in real life, I literally spammed people with the questions: What is the meaning of life? What is the ultimate truth?
I got some pretty impressive, astonishing and heartbreaking answers. I created a video with the best and most popular answers among all.*
You can watch it here:
If you did like this video and want me to make more like it, please tell me in the comments below here or on YouTube. You can also tweet me @Jishnu_bando and DM me on Instagram @Jishnu_1999.

298 pages | 64 Color Illus.
The sensing, processing, and visualizing that are currently in development within the environment boldly change the ways design and maintenance of landscapes are perceived and conceptualised. This is the first book to rationalize interactive architecture and responsive technologies through the lens of contemporary landscape architectural theory.
Responsive Landscapes frames a comprehensive view of design projects using responsive technologies and their relationship to landscape and environmental space. Divided into six insightful sections, the book frames the projects through the terms; elucidate, compress, displace, connect, ambient, and modify to present and construct a pragmatic framework in which to approach the integration of responsive technologies into landscape architecture.
Complete with international case studies, the book explores the various approaches taken to utilise responsive technologies in current professional practice. This will serve as a reference for professionals, and academics looking to push the boundaries of landscape projects and seek inspiration for their design proposals.

As I sit here – 10:45 PM, with my angel sleeping on my chest, seeming double in length and weight, gripping my family necklace – I want this moment to last forever. She and my husband and fast asleep, but I can only soak it all in because I know the day she doesn't want to sleep or snuggle with me.. I'll be happy I didn't move tonight m. I want time to standstill in moments like these. Blessed beyond measure, an overflowing heart of gratitude. God blessed me with an amazing daughter and husband. A husband who respects my wishes when asked to come to bed and denied because I want to snuggle with my girl. And a daughter, who for now, loves every single ounce of me just as I do her. The love I have for this almost four month old child of mine is indescribable. She's rolling, cooing, giggling, eating her feet, smiling, staring.. I love her more and more everyday. And I know Tony does too! After long workdays; I find my peace sitting with her. As many times as she lifts her head, slams it on my chest, whatever she needs to do to be comfy.. I could kiss her a million times, well I probably do. And my Mom said she did the same to me, lol, and I regret all the times I told her to stop! Knowing one day, Little Miss will and my heart will break for a split second. She's four months old on Monday. The prettiest, smartest, happiest, most loving four month old I know to date 🙂💞
0-4, just like that!

For some of us for various reasons it may be hard to eat a balanced diet of 5 servings of fruit and vegetables per day there for we miss out on important vitamins. They are often found in wholegrains, raw nuts, legumes and seeds - foods that our modern diets can be rather low in. B vitamins are an important part of the diet and support growth, development, and a variety of other bodily functions. They play a major role in the activities of enzymes, proteins that regulate chemical reactions in the body, which are important in turning food into energy and other needed substances.

On page one of the Sunday Examiner, Susan Chan Siu-chu, a Christian artist, illustrates a dragon flying in the dark while tightly clutching a pearl. The dragon is the highest-ranking animal in traditional Chinese culture and in ancient times was often associated with the emperor.
"However, this dragon is a humble one, flying at night so as not to attract attention," Chan explains. "And it is clutching a pearl, like a Christian always upholding their faith." She wishes everyone a blessed Year of the Dragon.
On this page, the yellow plum blossoms are blooming amidst the snow, symbolising the strong will of Christians who cling to their faith despite the trials they face.
Chinese farmers have a saying that "a timely snow promises a good harvest." Amidst this snowy backdrop, the Sunday Examiner and Mabuhay wish you a fruitful year with a good harvest, particularly spiritually and in terms of giving witness to the love of God in our world.

AT&T Inc.: Why AT&T Stock's 5.1% Yield Deserves Attention
AT&T Stock is a Long-Term Dividend Play
One of the reasons why we love solid dividend-paying companies is that they allow investors to put their portfolios on cruise control. It's hard enough to earn the money in the first place, so why not let it work for you this time? The company we are going to look at today is a classic example of a long-term dividend stock, AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T).
AT&T is a multinational telecommunications company headquartered in Dallas, Texas. In the U.S., it provides TV, wireless, and Internet service to millions of customers. The company also has a huge business solutions segment serving nearly 3.5-million businesses on six continents.
The key to note about AT&T is that it provides an essential service to consumers and businesses. This allows the company to generate a recurring stream of revenue and profit. Over the years, the company also shared some of that profit with investors in the form of dividends.
Right now, AT&T stock pays quarterly dividends of $0.49 per share. At its current share price, that translates to a handsome annual dividend yield of 5.06%. To give you some perspective, the average dividend yield of all S&P 500 companies is just 1.91% at the moment.
What's more is that the company has been raising its payout. Many high-yield stocks are only able to have such high yields because investors don't believe their payout will be sustainable. However, AT&T stock is actually known for its dividend durability. The company has raised its annual payout every year for the past 33 years. (Source: "Dividends," AT&T Inc., last accessed June 1, 2017.)
Think about how our economy had quite a few ups and downs over the past 33 years. But if you were an investor of AT&T stock, you would always get a dividend check in the mail. And over those years, the dividend checks kept getting bigger.
Of course, paying a dividend is the company's business; where its share price is going is up to the stock market. For instance, like most companies, AT&T stock took a hard beating during the last financial crisis. But because the company is fundamentally more than solid, it was quick to recover. As the chart below shows, investors that held on to their shares of AT&T stock have been generously rewarded since 2009.
Source: StockCharts.com
Also note that because AT&T was still raising its payout when a lot of companies were deep in the doldrums during the last economic downturn, it gave AT&T stock investors a reason to hold on to their shares.
AT&T Stock: A Rock-Solid Business
As investors, we know all too well that past performance does not guarantee future results. But in the case of AT&T, the company has actually built something that can keep churning out profits year after year.
I'm talking about AT&T Mobility, which is currently the company's largest segment. Nowadays, many people can't live without their smartphones, so it's pretty clear that wireless carriers offer a service that's essential.
Moreover, the industry has high barriers to entry. Regulatory hurdles, along with the cost associated with building cell phone towers and bidding for the expensive wireless spectrums, are deterring new companies from entering the industry. This means that existing players such as AT&T can keep generating sizable returns.
In the first quarter of 2017, AT&T Mobility had 2.7-million net additions while reporting a record earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margin of 41.8%. The company also achieved a best-ever first-quarter postpaid phone churn of 0.90%, representing a six-basis-point improvement year-over-year. (Source: "AT&T Reports First-Quarter Results," AT&T Inc., April 25, 2017.)
Going forward, the company is investing in something that I believe is critical to the future of its entertainment segment: content. These days, almost every company in the technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) industry are fighting to get more users. And one of the most effective ways to increase one's user base is to have quality content. Through the acquisition of DirecTV in 2015, AT&T has become the largest pay TV provider in the U.S.
And now the company could become even more powerful. Last year, AT&T announced that it would acquire mass media and entertainment conglomerate Time Warner Inc (NYSE:TWX) in a deal valued at $108.7 billion. While the deal has raised some concerns, AT&T expects to receive regulatory approval at some point this year.
Bottom line: telecom is far from being the hottest industry right now, but AT&T's business is still solid. Add in its handsome dividend yield and an impressive track record and AT&T stock is one that dividend investors should not ignore.

How Stress Can Improve Your Performance
How Stress Can Improve Your Performance (by Justin Menkes, Harvard Business Review Blog, April 28, 2011)
Recently, I read an article in which a developmental psychologist cited a mountain of evidence showing that IQ was one of the most significant predictors of emotional resiliency in children. The same pattern has also long been seen in the military, where it has been conclusively shown that higher-IQ soldiers show fewer signs of long-term post-traumatic stress.
Why would cognitive ability predict emotional hardiness? In truth, it doesn't. But the tests that measure cognitive ability do. When you tell people they have 12 minutes to show whether they are smart or dumb, the ability to stay calm and focused under duress has a huge impact on the scores.
Heightened anxiety has long been shown to dramatically impair people's ability to think. It affects basic functions such as short-term memory and processing of simple information, as well as more complex thinking, where anxiety can aggressively interfere with the ability to differentiate between important and irrelevant tasks. In today's business environment of unrelenting pressure, aspiring leaders must learn how to confront heightened levels of urgency without allowing the accompanying mental agitation to be disruptive.

Situated in the western region of Garhwal Himalayas, Yamunotri Temple is a famous temple dedicared to Goddess Yamuna. Maharani Gularia of Jaipur built this temple in the 19th century. The temple was reconstructed by Maharaja Pratap Shah of Tehri Garhwal. The temple is part of Chota Char Dham.
According to the legend, Sage Asit Muni had his abode here. All his life, he bathed daily both in the Ganges and the Yamuna. It is said that when he got old and frail, he was unable to go to Gangotri, a stream of the Ganges appeared opposite Yamunotri for him. Yamunotri Temple is part of Chota Char Dham
Yamunotri Temple was built by the Maharani of Jaipur is the center of attraction at Yamunotri. As with the Gangotri, Yamunotri is a place of spiritual and religious significance, rather than any architectural significance.
There are no specific dress code at Yamunotri Temple . Its a long trek and you should wear clothing that wouldn't be restrictive. Avoid Saree and carry warm clothing.
Part of the 'Chaar Dhaam' Yatra, Yamunotri is one of the most spiritual places in India. Vedic philosophy and hindu ideologies are the way of the life. Long treks have brought people from different states together and serve one ultimate spiritual objective. The entire valley looks like a never ending procession of merry pilgrims during the 'yatras'. Piety, spirituality, and religion are held in high regards, as is the symbolic bath as Yamuna is the sister of Yama, the Lord of Death; taking a dip in Yamuna is considered to assure one of painless death.
Language Spoken:Hindi, Garhwali, English
For reaching Yamunotri Temple, one can use private cabs operated from the Railway Station and the Airport to reach Gangotri. After reaching Gangotri, there is a 14 KM trek to Bhojbasa, from there, one can travel by pony or trek further. Jeeps and Ponies are available in certain breaks.

The Rio's pool complex is a stunning, tropical-style masterpiece with four pools and three spas.
For an area that's mostly concrete, the Rio's pool (known as VooDoo Beach) is stunning - the palms are abundant, the pools picturesque - bright aquatic murals are painted on the "rocks" and cascading waterfalls are everywhere.
The open area is ideal for sunbathers; those wishing for more privacy can follow the winding paths to a more secluded spot. And beach bums will enjoy the sandy beach.
During the summer months, guests who are at least 21 years old can party at The Voo. The atmosphere is never dull, with live DJs, go-go dancers, pool games, prizes and promotions.

One of the myths which arised with the new generation of consoles was that arithmetic operations (aka ALUs) were from now on literally free. If long ago we used cube map LUTs to normalize vectors, on GCN it costs nothing. Sure, they do have some cost, but with 6-7 ALU cycles per byte read from VRAM recommended at the top memory bandwidth (which you even almost never get), they should be all hidden beyond the memory fetches latency.
Well, it turns out, they are not. And here are some of the reasons why.
Well, it turns out, they are not. And here are some of the reasons why.
Some ALUs are more expensive than others.If an extra mad would unlikely (I won quite significantly one day by optimizing out a redundant matrix multiplication from a tight loop) make a change, divisions or even trigonometry would. Even in an SSAO shader could benefit up to 13% performance increase when arithmetic is optimized.
There are no free lunches now.Everything you could have relied hardware to do before (cube map texcoord calculation, attribute interpolation etc.) is now done with ALUs. You can use nointerpolation to avoid, if needed.
The scalar/vector ALUs are unbalanced.
In case your shader utilizes too many SALUs, not only you may become scalar register bound, but also your VALU units might stall while waiting for a scalar op result. An example here is excessive lane swizzling: when I tried to use it as a "cheap shared memory replacement" for blur filter, I got a ridiculous SALU/VALU ratio.

How To Write Product Reviews For Affiliate Earnings
Take Any Decent Product as well as Pitch It to a Target Audience Using a Review Formula That Tempts Consumers Into Buying!
" Just how Am I Supposed to Trust You?"
You're not.
That's why I need to operate at obtaining your trust. Even the biggest gurus can not constantly be trusted-- as a matter of fact, I know plenty that are total scam artists. Or even if I obtain you to trust me enough to fork over some money for an item, you're still going to have it in the back of your mind that a reimbursement is available-- and that's okay.
There are a couple of points you could do to build trust in the lasting:
1.) Suggest good items
I have shed a few bridges by not leaping onboard the "JV train" when a heavyweight asked me to promote his items. C'est la vie. I 'd rather have my track record undamaged than advertise something I don't feel is top quality-- OR worth the money. It might be excellent, however not that excellent.
I learn through my clients constantly things like, "Tiffany if you claim it's good, then I think you-- I'll purchase." They've expanded to trust my recommendations. They understand I'm not a "launch bandwagon jumper" thus many others who scamper for the large guns when they come calling.
2.) Get on their side
I see many lousy testimonials that make the customer appear like their nose is permanently connected to the behind of the item owner. I'm not out there to impress company partners, sorry.
I'm looking out for the people that pay my expenses-- MY clients. I go after extra price cuts for them.-- I called the Info Product Killer owner and also asked him for a discount rate voucher for my listing.
Just how do you ask? "Hey Item Owner, I 'd like to promote your item to my checklist, however I wish to give them a really lot. Would you please establish a voucher code they can place in to provide a discount?"
When I came out with my Social Networking on Squidoo digital book, I was asked to do this for the Keyword Avalanche participants and also Mom Mastermind members. I was asked to do this for the Keyword Avalanche members and also Mom Mastermind participants when I came out with my Social Networking on Squidoo e-book. All they had to do was ask.
3.) Serve the bad with the excellent
If you're not honest with your visitors concerning what's negative concerning the item, after that it looks like you're being a sneaky Pete. It looks like you're being a sly Pete if you're not sincere with your readers concerning just what's poor about the product. No product (not even mine) is 100% excellent.
I know with my very own items, I constantly upgrade them and also work to load in those openings. Find things you can claim that typically aren't excellent concerning the item-- and try to have a method around that. Find things you can claim that typically aren't best regarding the item-- as well as attempt to have a way around that.
Below are a few instances:
· The guide is missing out on any type of information concerning ________ so what I've done is develop a separate benefit for you that fills in that space in information for you.
· The item proprietor advises this paid keyword phrase tool here ________ but I could advise a complimentary one that's equally as good and also won't cost you a cent right here _________.
· Some individuals would rather view than check out, so I've created some video clip perks that walk you through his overview so you could follow in addition to me on video while you do it.
You need to genuinely be their supporter. Think that you're looking out for their best interest. You will not rip them off simply for a quick buck-- and also they'll trust you with their income if you can really feel for the customer.
What Benefit Does the Customer Derive From It?
Right here's the "blah blah blah" part that you think you already know. I see a great deal of testimonials saying, "This item did THIS for me (or the product proprietor).".
They Don't Care.
All they appreciate it-- "Yeah, it works great for guru A that has experience, however just what's it mosting likely to provide for a nobody like me?".
Take this product for instance-- this extremely guide. Some customer could say, "Yeah it worked wonderful for Tiffany Dow with her 5k list and her lens making abilities on Squidoo, however I do not have a checklist and also I don't know ways to develop a lens.".
{You have to clarify that it will certainly reveal them just how they could take advantage of a listing OR the marketplace as a whole as well as make money supplying reviews of readymade items. As a matter of fact, perhaps that could be your "flaw" with this item-- that it doesn't inform you the best ways to build Possibly that could be your "imperfection" with this item-- that it doesn't inform you exactly how to develop a lens or a checklist. So your bonus could be regarding listing or lens structure.
Obstacle eliminated.
Depending upon the item you're examining, you'll intend to use trigger words and phrases, to reveal them the benefits-- like this:.
... in the shortest time possible.
Think of the acne remedy information item "clear your face in just 3 days.".
... with active ingredients in your cupboard.
Utilizing the acne remedy info item as an instance once more-- no costly doctor consultation. No costly prescription (have you priced those OTC acne treatments? An "in your kitchen" homemade remedy would certainly be a huge perk to the budget tested).
... with the least quantity of initiative.
I constantly aim to evaluate points for my list participants that do not need you to have a degree in innovation to utilize them. I let my visitors recognize they will be at simplicity and also I place myself on their level as a tech dummy.
... without loan called for.
How many times have you purchased an information product just to find that to make it work, you needed to spend a great deal even more money on devices? You start really feeling duped.
... without anyone needing to recognize.
No watching the mail carrier snicker as he drops off a box with a return address that makes you flush. No strolling right into an adult shop as well as dealing with the staff. No watching the mail carrier snicker as he goes down off a box with a return address that makes you flush.
In your evaluation, tell them just what the opportunities are for them. Suggest for them. Make them feel it with every bit of their detects.
What Are the Features of the Product?
In your testimonial, you're mosting likely to need to discuss just what the product is.
· Is it a digital book?
· How several pages is it?
· Is it very easy to review?
· Are there video clips to reveal them the best ways to do this?
· How many videos?
· How long are they?
· What do they should have the ability to make use of the item-- anything unique?
They have to recognize both the financial financial investment they're mosting likely to have when all is stated and done along with the time they'll should put aside to implement this-- whether it's making money online or smearing a homemade mixture over their face to get rid of acne.
Is Support Available Once They Buy?
A good product surpasses the attributes of "1 eBook, 5 bonus offers and a video." It's concerning customer service-- what type of individual are they purchasing from? Do you even know or could you be leading the little lambs to massacre?
I've seen a terrific product I wanted I can advertise however I knew the marketer was a total device-- so I really did not advertise it. I didn't intend to subject my customers to him.
You wish to evaluate out the customer support firsthand by launching an email to the item proprietor. Like I informed you previously, my e-mail request for a discount rate promo code resulted in a YES solution for me-- and also I learnt more about right away that he was eager for my company.
Below's another thing I did with the Info Product Killer affiliate promo: I told him just what was doing not have or confusing. Within 48 hours, the person had numerous new videos up in the member area to address my worries. He's still doing this lots of months later-- I simply obtained an email recently concerning a new video clip he put up for us.
I knew he would provide MY consumers white glove therapy. If you're unclear, or if you get a disrespectful reply (or worse, no reply) from an item owner, then possibly they do not deserve your service? If you're not sure, or if you get an impolite reply (or worse, no reply) from an item proprietor, after that perhaps they don't deserve your organisation?
Struck 'Em With a Call to Action (... or More).
Don't hem and haw about it searching for the best time to sneak in a phone call to activity-- tell them should get now-- not later on. Stress the value of it and also make them afraid that they could miss out on something special if they postpone.
If you've had the ability to safeguard a price cut promo code, let them understand that it will not exist permanently-- you do not also need to provide a details duration that it will certainly hold. If it's a brief duration, you could as well as should pass along that information, such as this:.
" I spoke Mr. Product Owner right into providing you a discount rate, however his discount coupon's only mosting likely to last 48 hrs, so if you miss out, it's going to cost you full price!".
In your e-mail, or lens, or blog or anywhere you're reviewing this item-- make sure you utilize a call to activity even more than as soon as. Notice in all the master emails they slap that link up right under the opening paragraph? Once again in the middle and also when even more at the end.
Some even stick an additional PS (or 3) in there making SURE you got the point!
Who Else Thinks This Product Is Worthy?
I've come to be negative in my line of work-- want more? seeing the incestuous JV partnerships behind the scenes. ... many people that typically aren't exposed to what I see could be thrilled with testimonies. ... numerous people who typically aren't revealed to exactly what I see could be excited with endorsements.
By all means name drop if you recognize that others are advertising this item and you really feel that might persuade your viewers!
Nothing incorrect with name-dropping in my publication. For example, you may state this, "Tiffany Dow's Social Networking on Squidoo is the same one John Reese as well as Yanik Silver endorsed!" It may matter that they provided my product 2 thumbs up if they understand those 2 individuals and regard them.
You could likewise, in time, get emails from your list participants informing you thank you for sending them the link-- about how much they appreciate the recommendation because it XY and also Z for them, and so on
. Conserve and make use of that glowing feedback in your reviews!
Stick a Bonus Under Their Noses.
Okay I'm not a fan of this strategy in many cases yet I'm going to share it with you anyhow since it IS viable and also I HAVE used it prior to with much success. I'm just not a fan of the method the huge launches have become a total tug of war lately.
You recognize just what I'm talking about? The high buck launches with significant perks that make you actually confused regarding that to buy from. Do you want a 7 week phone meeting with guru A or a total internet site set-up with training by guru B?
I guess I don't mind the method itself-- I'm simply tired of seeing it on every big launch. I would certainly like to see a money back reward LOL-- Wouldn't that behave? I enjoy seeing masters who say their bonus offer deserves "$ 1,997"-- okay, so how about Fedexing me a cashier's check back for that amount if I get via your web link?
Not going to take place.
I once advertised an item as a review since a person called me and let me see a copy of his product. Since a guy contacted me and also let me see a copy of his product, I when promoted a product as a review. I as soon as advertised an item as an evaluation since a guy contacted me and let me see a duplicate of his item.
It had an intro into the record's objective and then it gave 3 examples with discourse listed below every one. Simply allowing my customers know I had their backs-- I was bewaring to ensure they got a complete product.
Here's exactly what not to do:.
Do not tell them you have a benefit for those who get via your link and afterwards give the incentive away to your list totally free.
Do not collect 25 PLR perks simply to state you have a bonus. I when assisted a large guru turn a stopping working website about because I told him the issue-- he had an "fine digital book" with 25 PLR perks.
I brightened his item and also created 3 5-page ORIGINAL perk reports to opt for it. His sales rose and also his reimbursements came to be basically non-existent.
Contrast This Product to Others.
If you know the product has stiff competitors, then inform your readers exactly how it stacks up. Inform your visitors just how it piles up if you recognize the item has rigid competitors. If you know the product has tight competition, after that tell your visitors just how it stacks up.
Here's an example of a side-by-side comparison of plans for a LinkedIn account-- simply use the exact same kind of layout for whatever items you're comparing to the perk or function left wing, as well as a checkmark or perhaps a remark by you under each column to the:.
This kind of comparison chart is also good due to the fact that you could place links at the top (like those Upgrade switches) to link to all the products you're comparing in your testimonial-- to make sure that also if they overlook your suggestions to purchase one particularly, you still earn money on their decision!

Okay so on to my example - I'm mosting likely to show you the exact e-mail I sent out to my checklist that made me over $6,000 in 11 days. And keep in mind-- a lot of my listing is comprised of newbies. Not all, yet most of them.
They're new to Internet marketing, so it had not been like this was a bandwagon-jumping scene-- nobody else had actually promoted this item up until I did.
I see a lot of testimonials stating, "This item did THIS for me (or the product proprietor).".
If they know those two people and respect them, after that it could matter that they gave my product 2 thumbs up.
I when promoted a product as a testimonial since a guy called me and also allow me see a copy of his product. Simply letting my clients understand I had their backs-- I was watching out to ensure they got a compete item.
If you know the product has rigid competitors, then inform your visitors how it stacks up.
I see a whole lot of evaluations claiming, "This product did THIS for me (or the item owner).". I see a whole lot of reviews stating, "This item did THIS for me (or the item owner).". I once advertised a product as a testimonial because a man called me and let me see a duplicate of his product. Since a person contacted me and also allow me see a duplicate of his item, I as soon as promoted an item as a review. I when promoted a product as a testimonial since a man called me as well as let me see a duplicate of his product.

Thank you for your visit, if you're able to leave a comment I really appreciate you taking the time.
I had a great week end. On Saturday we went to a surprise 60th birthday party for two of my friends from school days. It was lovely to have a bit of a catch up at a "happy" event, rather than having to meet at funerals, which sadly at our ages appears to be happening far too often these days. Well done to their son and daughter for managing to keep it well and truly under their hats, because their faces when they opened the door and seeing us was an absolute picture!
Today's card is the one I made for our daughter's birthday. She likes "pretty" but doesn't like "frilly/fluffy" stuff. I'd seen Sue Wilson create the background using a Triple Perspectives die and softened it by placing vellum over the top. I followed her tip of keeping the pieces in the card when cutting the second part out. The beauty of these Perspective dies is that it cuts a negative part (as used in this card) and a positive piece. It did take me three attempts because I managed to tear the card when removing the die on one and then managed to stick the vellum on the wrong side on another! Ho hum, after all it's only a piece of card

It's been a long time…
I think it is about time that I made a little more effort with this blog and actually start writing about what I am up to!
Since becoming a mummy almost 3 years ago (where does the time go?!), my priorities have changed quite a bit, to give you an idea I am currently sat writing this wearing a pirate hat! no I really am…!
I now spend most of my time with my daughter, trying to find new things to do with her and keeping her entertained. We still cook quite a lot as a family, but we would rather spend our spare time doing more exciting things. I have also been "comping" again, which was a hobby I have had for some time.
So my focus for this blog will shift somewhat from the cooking side of things, to family days out, my competition successes (and failures) and all things me.

Sean Johnson, 19, reportedly took a toy horse from a shelf, used it to commit an obscene public sex act in the bedding department, then replaced the contaminated toy on the shelf.
Workers say they saw Johnson "looking around†suspiciously, and the act was later confirmed by

Johnson is currently being held on a $1500 bail at the Hernando County Jail.

Last week we celebrated our graduation from Harvard in style, with speeches from two female Presidents who have made history.
Harvard's President Drew Faust certainly has the most money at her disposal, but it was Liberia's President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf who drew the most rousing applause.
Some fellow students found her speech a bit dry (what did they expect?), but I loved it for the telling detail that characterizes Madam President's approach to leadership. I particularly liked this line from her speech: "To be successful you will need to be prepared to go that extra mile to spend time to improve the structures and systems with which you will be called to work." I sometimes feel we put too much emphasis on charismatic leadership and not enough on the slow, difficult task of institution building.
Meanwhile, a new host of interns have begun working in those same institutions in Monrovia. Among them are two fellow Brits, Preya Sharma and Diane Mak. Both, I am happy to report, at the Ministry of Finance, which is probably the most exciting place to be in Liberia right now. Unless the Lone Stars manage to qualify for the next World Cup . . .

Troian Bellisario Is Never Going to be Just An Actress
We know Troian Bellisario as many things now — an actress, a director, an activist, a writer.
The Pretty Little Liars star opened up in a new interview that she wants to expand her skills even more.
"I grew up watching my mother both act in front of the camera and direct, and my father direct and write. There was just something in me — I've never been content," she shared.
Troian adds, "I'm really, really curious to actively see why he's coming at her from this angle, and talking to the director about how they're going to accomplish this sequence.
She also shared that she was very hands on with Pretty Little Liars and always wanted to be involved in every aspect.
"They were so patient with me for Pretty Little Liars," Troian says. "I would march my way into the writers' room and be like, 'Guys, what's going on? What's happening next? What are we doing?' Everybody was so encouraging to help me learn because they saw I had this curiosity."
"By the end, it became a thing they were all banking on. Like, 'Come on, Bellisario! When are you going to direct?'"

New Delhi: The branded honey you buy from
the market in Delhi may contain antibiotics beyond permissible
limit, cautions a study by the Centre for Science and
Environment (CSE).
The study claimed to have detected high level of
antibiotics in some leading brands of honey, including those
manufactured by international firms, sold in Delhi warning
they can have serious health effects.
"The test for six antibiotics was conducted on 12 branded
samples including ten Indian brands brought randomly from
various markets in Delhi in July last year. Eleven were found
to be contaminated with antibiotics," says the study.
The six antibiotics that the environmental NGO looked for
were oxytetracycline, chloramphenicol, ampicillin,
erythromycin, eurofloxacin and ciprofloxacin and it claimed
that their long exposure leads to adverse health effects.
"We have found high content of these antibiotics in
honey. For instance, Oxytetracycline or OTC was found in 50
per cent of the samples in the range of 27 to 250 microgram
per kg (?g/kg).
"This is almost 3 to 25 times higher than the 10 ?g/kg
standard fixed by the government`s Export Inspection Council
(EIC) for exported honey," Chandra Bhushan, Deputy Director,
CSE, told reporters here.
Sharing the finding of the study he said chloramphenicol,
banned by EU, was found in 25 per cent of the samples with its
levels 9 to 15 times higher than the 0.3
?g/kg standard fixed by the EIC.
Seeking strict regulatory measures, Chandra said EU had
banned Indian honey from entering any of its 27 member-
countries because the consignments were contaminated with
antibiotics and heavy metals.
"But these monitoring, checks and norms do not apply to
honey available in domestic market. There are hardly any
reports on antibiotic contamination of honey consumed within
the country," he said.
Sunita Narain, head of CSE, said "food safety regulations
are supposed to be monitored by the Food Safety and Standards
Authority of India. But it has failed to do anything to
safeguard consumer health. We cannot allow business to be more
important than the food we eat."

Search Engine Marketing in Austin TX
Odds are that you have already heard of the term SEM (Search Engine Marketing). But of what significance is Search Engine Marketing in Austin to small businesses? Unlike other types of marketing, search engine marketing utilizes the web to increase your visibility online. In a recent study by Google, it was discovered that more than 51% of Americans are using the internet at any given time. What this means is that, approximately more than half of your target market can be found online.
Therefore, if your business is not online, then you are missing out on tens of thousands of prospective customers on a daily basis. However, just because you have a beautiful website does not mean that you will receive targeted traffic. In fact, there are hundreds of individuals and businesses that complain of receiving the wrong traffic in spite of having spent a lot of money in trying to achieve an online presence.
Where To Start?
The key to receiving targeted traffic and ensuring that more than half of the traffic to your website are paying customers is hiring reputable Austin SEO Consultants. Discussed herein, are the key reasons why you need to consider hiring a Search Engine Marketing Austin expert:
#1: Identify Keywords that Will Increase Targeted Traffic to Your Website
Search Engine Optimization Austin Experts will help you in identifying certain keywords that will increase your online visibility. This in turn ensures the success of your marketing strategy since the name of your business, product or service will pop up every time a search is carried out in the search engine using the keywords selected by the SEM expert.
#2: Increase Targeted Traffic to Your Website
The other benefit of hiring SEO Austin TX is improved traffic to your website. The SEO (Search Engine Optimization) expert you have hired will implement strategies such as PPC (Pay per Click) and Banner Ads which will function in increasing traffic to your website. Note that, the odds of realizing increased conversion rates, is increasing targeted traffic to your e-commerce site. Sadly, you cannot achieve this kind of feat if you have not hired an SEO expert with experience and expertise in search engine marketing.
#3: Profit from Increased ROI (Return on Investment) Devoid of Burning a Hole in Your Pocket
The amount of money spent in implementing search engine marketing cannot be compared to the sum you stand to gain once the campaign is completed. Since most small and startup businesses cannot afford the cost of marketing products and services in mainstream media such as televisions and radios, search engine marketing remains the most viable option that provides them with better return on investment.
#4: SEM Aids in Building Brands
In order to successfully build a brand, you need to have unswerving online presence. However, you cannot do this without the help of a Austin SEO Company. There are millions of people who log into the internet at any given time. Hence, it is important to ensure that your brand is visible to them at all times.

Buddhology-Related Typology
3 comments:
- AnonymousJanuary 27, 2014 at 9:43 AM
Yes, if dharmas (being / "Seiende") and dharmata (beingness or being itself / "Seinheit") were not essentially connected, buddhata (buddha-hood) would be simply a "fake" or a "folly" because we could strive as hard as we want, we never would "arrive at buddha-hood" (Dharmadharmatavibha[n]ga). Naturally, thereby emerges the more or less philosophically painstaking and provocative question:ReplyDelete
"If our cognitive pervasion of reality is already rooted in buddha-hood, then, why we cannot recognize this immediately (note here the temporal aspect of our consideration!)?"
The apparent, yet most probably disappointing answer is: "Because it´s simply impossible!"
That´s the metaphysical hard nut to crack!
What is at stake here is that precisely the ontical immediacy of buddha-hood itself entails "cognitive unseeing" because only in the "unseen naturalness (tathata)" of beingness (dharmata) we can assure the purity of being (visuddhi-svabhavika-kaya) – we could say, that´s the metaphysical secret.
The complexity lies precisely in this "seeing", inasmuch as "seeing" represents an infringement of the inherent cleanness of cognition itself. Since, as soon as we "see" it (or even try/want to see it), we are already out of it (by our own fancy quest to see it)! That´s the seeming paradox which indeed is none because it´s this "striking simplicity" itself which so incredibly and deeply intrigues our cognition.
The essentiality of beingness (dharmata) requires, for overcoming cognition´s own-recognition, a soteriological splitting of reality as such (tathata) in the "two truths" (satyadvaya) – otherwise how could we have even an idea of "reality-seeing" (sunyata direct perception) or reflecting on "seeing" the "unseen". Hence, the original fusion of the two truths (in fact, reality) must become con-fusion for the ordinary cognition as such (prthagjana) precisely owing to the natural dynamism of fusion itself and in this sense we must speak of confusion ("fusion becomes confusion and confusion becomes fusion" – the metaphysical circle and "seeming awkwardness" of being). With this in mind, the pedagogically designated scission of fusion (considered epistemologically) and confusion (considered ontologically) becomes harmonizied through unawareness or unknowingness (avidya) and just that´s the innocence (the "paradoxical purity") of being itself (the potentially considered/determined buddha-hood).
We conceive here the metaphysical necessity and double-sacrifice (mahakaruna = unending, great compassion) of being (dharmata): At the one side we have the sacrifice of unknowingness (the "unseen") animated through ordinary cognition (prthagjana) and on the other side, at the same time (here the motivationg factor of "bodhicitta" reveals it´s fundamental validity and functional dynamic), we notice that (the so ardently aspired) "seeing" also implies a cognitive sacrifice (in fact the very gnoseological "price" to pay), namely: With our "seeing" we are spontaneously catapulted out of "naturally cognizing and acting" (which indeed means "unseeing") and thereby involontarily are loosing our operating cognitive innocence in being. This must happen so because while reality (ontic reality) as such is "untouchable", we nevertheless revoltingly want to penetrate it "intellectually" (and just here we should be attentive: the quite valuable "philosophical quest" could easily become the "philosophical trap" of conceptual obsessions…), and by this intellectual research-operation itself we try ("the quest") to come out of the hidden disguise of reality for becoming able to "see" it. That´s the philosophical hard challenge of projection and naturally, just by this inner revolting experiment we become increasingly assured to manage the challenge of buddha-hood exploration through the pseudo-revolutionary transformation of thinking itself (asrayaparivrtti) but simultaneously we must admit the increasing complexity of a tentative communication to others; sincerely, mikael
- AnonymousJanuary 27, 2014 at 9:47 AM
It would be interesting to know how Rong-zom-pa conceives the notional difference of buddha and buddha-hood (buddhata). I think that would be important to understand/emulate adequately the practical value of the bodhisattva-ideal (in contrast to Sravakas and Pratyekas)! Perhaps, some day, you will find sufficiently time to publish a translation of one of Rong-zom-pa´s philosophical works; I could imagine, that would be surely very stimulating for the philosophical world of learning; sincerely, mikael.ReplyDelete
Dear Mikael, sincere thanks for your interest and for all your thought-provoking comments and reflections. I would have wished to take each major point you raise and try to comment or express my own thoughts or explanations on it. But it is far beyond the scope of my hobby. If I may just make one brief general comment. To comment on the issues raised by you above, I will require to first make sure that I precisely understand what you mean (which is admittedly not always easy) and to try stratify, classify, and explain the various systems and models of thinking that I believe the sources that you mention presuppose. As I am wont to claim, any given system or scholar would it have its own presuppositions regarding Buddhist epistemology, ontology, gnoseology, soteriology, Buddhology, axiology, psychology, eschatology, cosmology, and so forth. Our first challenge is whether we can reasonably determine and explain such positions and presuppositions. Second, do these differ from other positions and presuppositions and if so how and why. Third, how do these positions and presuppositions relate to, if at all, similar Western philosophical concepts. Fourth and finally, do they conform my own personal philosophy (or my personal understanding of those issues). But such attempts are far beyond the scope of my competence and time. Sincerely, DorjiReplyDelete

The real reason Daniel Day-Lewis quit acting
After more than three decades in the movie industry, three-time Oscar winner Daniel Day-Lewis has decided to hang up his hat.
As Day-Lewis' representatives told Variety, his 2017 film with There Will Be Blood writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson, a '50s-set dress designer drama titled Phantom Thread, will be the last installment in his esteemed filmography. "He is immensely grateful to all of his collaborators and audiences over the many years," their statement read. "This is a private decision and neither he nor his representatives will make any further comment on this subject."
The notoriously private thespian may not be willing to elaborate publicly, but he has plenty of reasons to leave Hollywood's bright lights behind.

Text at Your Own Risk - February 2014
One of the more controversial changes to Virginia law in 2013 was the statute dealing with "texting while driving". Virginia Code section 46.2-1078.1 made it unlawful to "manually enter multiple letters or text in the device as a means of communicating with another person" (emphasis added) or to read an email or text message sent "to the device or stored in the device." These prohibitions are subject to numerous exceptions such as a person who is legally parked or stopped, using a GPS on the device, or reporting an emergency. The change passed last year made texting while driving a "primary" offense, meaning the police can stop a person believed to be violating this specific law. The penalty for violating this law is a fine of $150 for a first offense, while a second or subsequent offense is punishable by a $250 fine.
The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration has found that distracted driving is six times more dangerous than drunk driving. There are multiple ways to be distracted while driving – answering a call, picking up your phone, reading a text message or even talking to a passenger. But Virginia Code Section 46.2-1078 directly addresses just a small part of distracted driving. Nearly 4,000 people died as a result of distracted driving, while over 400,000 people were injured in distracted driving accidents.
Enforcement of this law remains difficult. There is really no way to determine if a person looking at a phone while the vehicle is in motion is texting, reading an email or using a GPS to find some location. The Washington Post reported in April of 2013 that the State of Maryland has made it easier to enforce its law by allowing police to pull over any driver with a cellphone in hand. But even if an officer asks a driver hand over his phone, the driver is under no obligation to turn the phone over to the police. The police can obtain a warrant to view the phone if circumstances call for one.The Virginian-Pilot reported that the State Police have given 328 citations from July 1 through September 28 of 2013.
While it might not seem like much to pay a fine, it becomes a big deal when there is an accident with property damage and injuries. In that case, not only is the driver getting a ticket, he is also facing the prospect of being sued as a result of not paying attention to the road. We can all do ourselves a favor by pulling over to make a call or waiting until you are stopped at the stoplight to adjust the radio.
