Jason Foss
Co-founder, co-owner and main geek of the Almost Anything Crew. Jason has a passion for email clients, fast Fords and all things Google. Jason brings two decades of experience in website design and development/project management/UX and usability reviews to the table. He can also quote most of the script from Monty Python's the Holy Grail.
Yolinda Foss
Co-founder, co-owner and logo design queen of the Almost Anything posse. Yolinda has a natural talent for logo design, sign writing and making some of the finest pumpkin jam in the world. A fan of the movie The Shawshank Redemption and lover of the music of Nina Simone. Although not at the same time.
Stuart Harcourt
Creative Director and our resident 'pom', Stu loves to complain about the weather. And anything else really; he is English after all. Despite this, his 20+ years' international experience across a range of design and marketing disciplines makes him a valuable asset to the team. (Tea & crumpets, anyone?). Stu has a borderline obsession with all things Apple, Steve Jobs and Subway!
Rachel Hawker
Rachel is our Client Liaison Officer and chief organiser. Rachel has a passion for V8's, fine wine and good beer – although she's stresses these passions are always conducted "separately" other wise it's just plain dangerous – told you she was the responsible one! Rachel's favourite movie is Forrest Gump which has prepared her well for working at Almost Anything. A place where the staff are very much like a box a chocolates: sweet on the outside and mostly full of coffee.
Zane Mulholland
Zane is responsible for our sign writing and sticker department. He will often be found loitering around vehicles in our car park. We've told him it's "an essential part of his job to apply graphics to cars and utes". The truth is he has awful taste in music so we kick him outside whenever possible so we don't have to listen to it! Zane joined Almost Anything in May 2016 and in a relatively short space of time has displayed a natural ability for high quality sign production and vinyl application.
Ben Ulcoq
Graphic designer and level 31 Invoker (which we think means "wizard") in "Magic: The Gathering", Ben casts his creative magic wand over a whole range of Almost Anything's artwork. We do of course make sure he cleans the pixie dust off before clients collect their stuff. Ben's interests include; soccer, movies, pizza and golf, although he admits he hasn't played in a while, leaving us to suspect his current handicap is probably his golf clubs.
Deep Kaur
Deep has done her best to downplay her computer skills, but she's not fooling anyone. She's a geek just like the rest of us! Hailing originally from India, Deep has a passion for Hindi Movies and we always look forward to when she offers to make lunch for everyone as we know we'll be treated to the most amazing curry dishes. Deep has a passion for polka dots, stemming from her time in the fashion business, meaning she can transition seamlessly from elbow patches to software patches.
Michael Clegg
Whether Michael is human or the mutant computer programming genius offspring of a high end gaming PC and an Asian pop music drum machine is a topic of great debate. Michael has established himself as an expert programmer. He also understands all the words to Gangnam Style. (Probably)
Eric Santos
Developer/Programmer ~ Full profile coming soon
Beau Smyth
Beau is the latest addition to our growing arsenal of developers and programmers. Like Jason he is also a beard enthusiast, favouring the Tony Stark look (over Jason's Gandalf). We believe his beard style is no coincidence either as Beau's favourite movie is Iron Man, proven by the fact he saw it SEVEN times at the cinema! We're all counting on Beau to be as inventive as Tony Stark but only take on super villians during his breaks and weekends. (Just to note: use of the Iron Man suit is not covered by our company insurance)
Mercury Mowen
Mercury is the newest member of the team and joins us in a copy writing and content creation role. Mercury's philosphy on life is to say "yes" to every opportunity presented to her, which probably explains why her list of interests is too long for this page (or Wikipedia – probably). She clearly likes getting lost in other worlds as a fan of the movie Labyrinth, films by director Guillermo Del Toro and video games like the Legend of Zelda and Shadow of the Colossus. She's also the only person we've ever met who owned an Atari Lynx handheld console. #ULTRAGEEK

ECB also said it will buy assets yielding below the deposit rate if needed and lifted its 2017 inflation forecast to 1.3% (was 1.2%)
** Bunds pared worst losses on an initial knee-jerk pop in the aftermath of the ECB announcement. Peripherals underperformed with Portugal hardest hit (10yr yield +26bps at 16:11 GMT), with yield curves broadly bear steepening across the region
** The 10yr Bund yield carved out a fresh multi month high of 0.456%, highest since 27th Jan. Our tech team see scope for higher yields, see here (https://www.informagm.com/stories/1147748).

Rafael gets a talking-to by Matriarch Altriel and her cohorts for having tried to flagrantly seduce the servants of Captain Gery Eanwald. They ultimately believed his protestations of innocence (and virginity, as it happens), and while he couldn't stay in town, Altriel suggested he should hurry on his quest.
Rafael found passage with a caravan for Grainstown, and en route was inspired to stray off. After an eternal moment of walking.
Meanwhile, in the ruined village, Høwke, Wenna andEyfris were taking turns keeping watch. Poor Ix'i had drunk something unbecoming the previous day and was down with an explosive case of upset tummy. On Wenna's watch Rafael appeared out of the shadows to pray at the funeral pyre. Challenged by Wenna, Rafael flew off the handle and started yelling at her. The rest of us tackled him and dragged him indoors while he shouted "They made me tell them I'm a virgin!"
He quieted down in the building we'd made camp in and was briefed about the sea journey and the village. Rafael cast a Divine Ward (+1 forward to Defy Danger) on Ix'i. We left Ix'i to recuperate and ventured forth.
We trod forward through the rugged terrain until we came to a wall of fire. Eyfris tried to conjure fiery wings but they were swiftly sucked into the wall. She then drilled a hole through the wall, albeit with great difficulty. Only Rafael got to the other side unscathed, and when he demonstrated his protective aura by toying with the wall. This made Eyfris and Høwke suspicious – perhaps he is not Rafael, but an infiltrator?
We saw the ruins of the White City in the distance. Høwke and Wenna realized there was a network of underground tunnels that The Cult of the Red Grave used for burial purposes. Since these tunnels were known to be well trapped
we decided to proceed overland.
We came to another wall, this one completely transparent. Rafael noted that the area seemed to be warm like the height of summer heat. But that was all when we walked through.
We approached the city walls, around which we found another arcane wall. This one seemed to have strange effects on gravity. We jumped through, but during the leap Eyfris and Høwke flew up so high they saw they'd been noticed.
Chasing after the distant observer, we came to a barracks and training grounds. We climbed on top of one of the barracks buildings and saw a tent. And that the dragon statue wasn't a statue. It flew up, took a well-armored woman off her observation post and swooped down in front of us. The woman, who bore the heraldry of Wyrmspire on her tabard, told us to get down out of sight. We introduced ourselves, and she introduced themselves as Rashne and her mount Behnam.
We told her we were there to kill some Revelers. They suggested there was something even greater afoot than a Reveler party, and told us the tents probably belonged to Macombe and his compatriots. We decided to attack the campsite, which the dragon and her rider considered suicidal for us. Wenna and Høwke got pissed off at them for not interfering so we made haste.
Wenna snuck up on a guard and grabbed her for questioning and learned that weird stuff had happened, and that Macombe might right now be doing something to cause some more. She spoke of Macombe in terrified tones. Just then Høwke blew her horn to attract the Revelers' attention. We slew the two guards and their captain, but Rafael got struck on the head and fell.
Rafael came to in an idyllic forest glade next to an elderly elf. He took Rafael for a walk and was just about to offer a deal, when Wenna, dressed in traveling clothes, appeared and exchanged nods with the elf. This convinced the elf to show Rafael and Wenna in another direction as they came to a fork on a path.
Rafael came back to life.
Eyfris blew up the wards surrounding the main tent and we stepped in. Inside we found a lab and a dissected corpse. Eyfris noticed, however, that this was no Reveler lab, but something much more businesslike and unnerving – they had dabbled with pure magic, i.e. the souls of the dead. Rafael discovered a text that revealed these people might be doing the work of The God of the People. We grabbed a map, sanctified the body and Eyfris put the tent to the flame (but something survived…). In Macombe's personal tent we found some money and a holy book of The Church of the People, but with extra detail.
We left Kelli Dogerrty behind chained.
The map showed that the leylines crossed the great temple of the God of the People. Eyfris and Høwke went to scout out the temple. Høwke got stuck on a magically sticky stone slab, and although Eyfris got in unnoticed, she was lured farther inside by something fascinating to the dragon inside her. She found a sideroom which held a large, upturned glass bowl with a white butterfly trapped inside. On her way back she also saw inside the temple. Macombe and two other wizards were chanting around Macombe's ailing son, who lay in the very centre of the chamber. On one side of him was a pit, on the other side four captives suspended from the ceiling. She surmised that the captives were there not as a sacrifice, but to maintain a balance of souls. On the floor, around Vihnsent, there was a spiral of a shining liquid.
Eyfris returned to the others. Wenna loaned Rafael an unloaded pistol and we approached the temple. Wenna stayed to help Høwke off from the wall while Rafael went ahead to stealthily free the suspended captives. Eyfris tried unsuccessfully to climb onto the roof, and after a bit of a fall crawled in through a crack in the wall instead.
Wenna and Høwke burst in and the former shot at one of Macombe's assistants. The two assistants attacked them. Battle was joined, but Macombe continued with the ritual.
When Rafael got up the pillar to the captives, he felt that his presence there upset a precarious balance in life force. Once he cut down a captive Rafael felt a hint of divine satisfaction at the resumption of balance. Eyfris just managed to break the captive's fall by swooping in on wings of fire that proved more permanent than anticipated.
As the fighting continued, Rafael sensed that Macombe's ritual shouldn't be interrupted, and used his power to ward him. Thanks to him, Macombe managed to complete the ritual, and a light started running along the liquid spiral to the centre. However, Høwke tossed a fallen assistant onto the spiral, and as the light touched the body, the air was suddenly full of butterflies, and inside the empty garb of the wizard a small thing crawled.
Eyfris, trying to avoid the terrible butterflies, collided with a wall and was stuck there. She did manage to burn herself loose, but lost her chainmail bikini in the process.
Macombe's last remaining henchman scooped up the bundle of robes from the floor and handed the squirming package to Macombe. We managed to overcome the henchman but Macombe teleported away at the last moment. However, Wenna had managed to cut him with her sword, and with the blood on the blade Eyfris managed to track Macombe to a marketplace in New Tower.
After releasing all the captives from the ceiling, Rafael tried to liberate the ones in the pit on the other side of the room. This didn't quite go according to plan, and he plummeted in himself. After managing to aggravate the prisoners in every way a naive boy can, Rafael was finally pulled out of the pit only to be faced by angry companions who suspected him of being a traitor. Eyfris almost burned him alive, but at the last moment she saw the innocence in his eyes. "He's not an enemy," she said to the others, "he's just a fool."
Although Eyfris stands appeased, tensions remain among the others.
Vihncent + 8 villagers drugged, Ahriman beaten and bound, Macombe and faerie child in New Tower

Well it's Sunday and we all know what that means - OPEN HOUSE!
While I could show you all the house in the entirety today I think for your sake and mine I'm just going to keep it to the kitchen.
It's just like your standard, normal everyday kitchen with a place for cooking, a place for eating, and a place for food coldifying.Nothing too exciting except for one important difference.
Oh wait, we took that out. Well then I guess it is just like every other kitchen. (Excuse me while I'm off to a box factory).We love the layout of the kitchen. My husband can prep food on the peninsula (It's not really an island since it's attached to the one little wall) while I rummage around on the other side cooking and we don't get in each others way.
What we'd love to change when we get money and time is the cabinets have got to go. They've got to be original with the house (judging by some of the broken drawers) and I just can't abide with painted wood. Why take a lovely stained piece and ruin it for life by slapping a coat of white paint on it?
And that has been a tour of our kitchen. Stay tuned next week for the tale of "My horrifying office/painting room."

"I need a meager sum of 100 million Naira!"
You could say I am crazy, of course you will be right. I am crazy to say 100 million Naira is meager, especially now that I don't have it. A few months ago during a youth meeting in my local church, I made a similar statement saying, 50 million Naira was not enough to execute a project I had at hand and they all said I was only dreaming. At that time, I couldn't boast of 5 thousand of my own, yet I said 50 million Naira was not enough.
Sometime towards the end of 2016, I sent a message out that I have an idea worth billions of dollars and needed people to invest a few millions in it. Quite a lot of people might think I was crazy, perhaps that's why it was not taken serious anyways, but that is the truth, and for this reason, I am here again.
Maybe I wasn't taken serious because I didn't include the exact amount that I need to bring to life, this billions of dollars idea, but I must tell you, 100 million Naira will be a fair start.
What will I do with this money?
It is simple, I will use it to bring to life, my billions of dollars worth of idea and make not only its monetary equivalent, but succeed in providing employment for thousands of people, which could grow into millions in a short time.
Carrying this idea in my head has left me abnormal. I am not a normal human being and won't be normal until this idea of mine is successfully executed. I conceived the idea two years ago and from that moment, I have lost my sanity.
Because of this idea, I left conventional school; it made me realize such education was but a waste time for me, I needed a specialized education, which this school could not provide.
I was unlucky not to have had a woman in my life before conceiving it, because it makes it harder for me to manage a woman, aside the fact that no woman will love to marry an insane man, I also couldn't create time for them, which often chase them away.
I forget everything including my own birthday, and you know no lady will forgive me for forgetting her birthday. Forgetfulness has become my major disease that people think I do not have brain at all. Most time I forget to shave, at times to brush my teeth and seldom forget to take my bath. Is that not crazy? You think a lady will want to be with such a guy? I might stand with you, yet I am not with you, my mind has traveled to look for all possibility to bring this idea to reality.
I go to bed thinking about this idea and wake up with it; this is the reason why I forget everything around me, which includes eating at times, until I am thoroughly famished.
It is a correct assumption to say I act like someone who the whole world is on his head; a lady once said I think the world revolves around me, because of my attitudes, which are misinterpreted as arrogance. I could be snobby and indifferent at times when you talk to me and most times I like to be alone and hate to greet because it will obstruct my thoughts. Truly, you could be right to say I carry the world in my head.
During crossover service a few days ago, I was my usual self again, everyone was happy about the New Year, but, I was away in my thought, I did not congratulate anyone, except those that did it first. In fact, I later realized I snubbed my G.O & AGO in the course of it. Anyone will be right to interpret it as arrogance as I went away without returning several greetings.
There was a single thing I was thinking of, which took me away from the euphoria of the New Year: this idea!
Is this idea really worth it?
Of course I know it is worth more than my sanity, it is worth dying for, because through it, others will live and change the world around them.
This same idea will change the fortune of many African nations and reduce migration of Africans to other continents in search of greener pastures.
This idea will not only make anyone who invests in it stupendously rich, but also make them heroes of their generations to come.
However, I won't collect any money from anyone until a legal document is signed to assure they will not lose their money.
Let it be understood that this idea, despite will make me rich; I am not bringing it to life for the purpose of me becoming rich.
If I want to be rich, a certainty, which might only take a little time, I would have invested in any of my talents.
I have more than 300 poems, I have more than 200 songs, I have 4 manuscripts that can be converted to books, I have stories, some of which I have scripted, all of these are enough to make me rich, but this vision is more important to me than my own personal ambition and anyone who would invest in it must have the same mentality of considering the interest of others first.
I do not want to talk about this idea or the plan to anyone, not because they might steal it, but because they might use it for selfish gains alone.
I want to start implementing my plans even as the talks go on. This idea is so big that I have been having issues documenting everything, so I think the best way to do it is to keep implementing them as they keep arriving in bits. This is why I need 100 million Naira for a start. Getting more than that will be a good start too, but nothing less, even if it has to appear in bit just like other parts of the idea.

December and January have brought record snowfall this winter, as well as some very cold temperatures. I'm not a big fan of winter, with its slippery streets and wind chills.
Like most kids, Jonathan loves to play in the snow. He's throwing snowballs at me...but he is outside, I am warm inside, on the kitchen side of the door!

Loan is the amount of money that you take in order to solve your financial issues. Loans are often taken by the people who can't afford to save a lot from their salaries. They often end up in taking the loans. In some cases, loans are taken by people when they face some emergency and they need a large amount of money and that too, quickly. This is where the loans can come in handy. Some people also like to take out a loan to expand their business or their company Etc. No matter what your situation is, there are certain things that you need to know about the loans. Following are few of them:
The first thing that you need to know is the kind of source you are getting loans from. Most people like to take loans from a government authorize sources. The reason why you should take care about this is because there are so many financial issues that are created because of this. Many private loan companies are fraud and they end up leaving you bankrupt in most of the situations. This is the reason you should not trust each and every source. Make sure that the company you are taking payday loan instant approval direct lenders from, is real and not a fake or a fraud. If there is any chance of finding their former clients, do contact them and ask their experience. No one can better give you the honest opinion than the person who is already experienced. If the loan company has a website, you can find the clients over there. Such precaution is highly necessary when you are taking out a loan from an online company.
There are different kinds of loans and in order to take loans, you must know about every one of them and how they can be harmful or beneficial for you. These loans can affect your financial situation seriously, so it is better to consider them properly too. For example, personal loans are good, but they can charge you thousands of rupees as interest. Similarly, there are unsecured loans, payday loans, signature loans, auto loans, Installment loans and so on. The thing to keep in mind here is to get the type of loan that will suit your situation best. Make sure you get in touch with a loan expert so that they can guide you as to which kind of loan will be best for your financial needs.
Payback time:
A lot of times people do not focus on the payment method and time duration of their $400 dollar loan, when they are taking out the loan. Make sure that the installments that you decide on are easy to make. Also, the time period should be decided wisely in which you have to make the whole payment back. Some loans like payday loans can be paid back weekly or in monthly installments as well.
These are just a few things that are necessary to know and decide on when you are thinking about taking out a loan.

Wayne, Indiana, CountryMark's price risk management tools have helped him better manage fuel costs for the family's growing trucking business. "We have used the CountryMark flex contracting program to have more control over fuel prices and our fuel budget," said Reilley. "When I got started using the CountryMark flex contracting program, I was concerned about unexpected contracting expenses and terms that might make it hard for us to use fuel contracts. This past year I contracted 20% of our fuel needs and I can confidently say that CountryMark's price risk management tools have helped Reilley Trucking better control fuel costs. CountryMark and my local cooperative understand Reilley Trucking and that has made a huge difference for me. The ability to contract the amount of fuel I want and use my fuel contract when it works for me is something that other fuel companies aren't offering and something that has been valuable to me." Strategy Brandon's price risk management strategy begins with identifying a target price. "I target a fuel price I'm comfortable with," said Reilley. "It's that fuel price where I'm confident that we, as a trucking company, can make money. I then share that target price with my local CountryMark cooperative. They know when we get to that target fuel price or close to it; they call me so I can lock in a contract." Flex Contracts CountryMark offers both fixed and flex contracts. CountryMark's flex contracts work best for Reilley Trucking. "With the flex contract, I lock in a fuel price and a number of gallons, and then I have 11 months to buy the gallons I have contracted," Reilley explained. "During those 11 months, I am able to evaluate with each load of fuel to determine whether I want to use my contract price, or the cash price. That flexibility has made all the difference in my ability to profitably manage my fuel costs." Freedom CountryMark's flex contracting program provides Brandon with the tools to accelerate his management skills. "I'm not calculating my fuel price target every day," said Reilley. "I do that once, communicate that target price to my cooperative and then they contact me when the markets are in my target range. Once I have locked in a contract, I order fuel like I always have. With this price risk management tool, I order fuel when I need it and with each load I evaluate whether or not I want to pull the contract price or use the cash price. I'm not spending time chasing the lowest fuel price or trying to make fuel last because I think prices will drop later in the week. Really for me, my fuel contracts are like an insurance policy. Contracting fuel insures that I will be able to pull a given number of gallons each year at a guaranteed price that I'm comfortable with and at a price where we can profitably run our trucking business." Advice Brandon's advice to others considering contracting fuel is do your homework, keep good records, and contract no more than 20% of your fuel needs in your first year. "When I got started contracting fuel, I called my cooperative several times," said Reilley. "Every time I thought of a question, I called them and they were great to work with. They helped me completely understand the contract concepts and best practices, and that made all the difference for me." Keeping good records is also important. "Every time I pull a load of fuel using my contract, I write down on a notepad the money I saved using the contract price as compared to the cash price," Reilley explained. "With my records, I know exactly how well my contracts have performed. Again, I contract fuel to control input costs. Anytime I can walk away with fuel savings is a bonus." Control Contracting puts customers in the driver's seat and less at the mercy of the cash markets. "It's always my decision whether I exercise my contract price or the cash price," said Reilley. "There were times this past year when I would I place a fuel order using the cash price. I appreciated that my account rep was on the ball and knew immediately that my contract price was less than the cash price. However, in those situations, I felt cash fuel prices were going to go higher and I wanted to save my contracted fuel for days when the spread was greater. Those decisions worked very well for me this past year. I like being able to make those decisions and have the opportunity to return greater profits for the company business." Bidding Like other trucking companies, Reilley Trucking bids certain jobs. "Being able to lock in fuel prices has also helped with that side of our business," said Reilley. "If my fuel price is a fixed cost for a particular job, my brother and I can better bid that job, and I believe that puts us in a better position to be competitive on trucking bids." Pay as you go With CountryMark flex contracts there is no upfront expense. "It's great that I can lock in a flex contract with no out-of-pocket expense," said Reilley. "I don't pay anything on that contract until I pull a load against that contract. I wouldn't want to tie up cash on pre-paid fuel, and I don't have to with the CountryMark flex contracts." Worse-case scenario A good manager always knows the worse-case scenario of any purchase, so Brandon calculated his. "I know that if after 11 months, I haven't pulled all the fuel from my contract, I'll pay the difference between my contract price and the cash price, and will multiply the per gallon expense by the number of gallons remaining on my contract," said Reilley. "Not pulling all the gallons on my contract is my risk. For me, the rewards of being able to better control my fuel expenses far outweighs the potentials risks of the cash markets dropping below my contract price." Summary For Brandon Reilley, CountryMark flex contracts provide him with a valuable management tool that helps him protects Reilley Trucking from sudden upswings in fuel prices. "I like that the CountryMark flex contracting program allows me to choose with every fuel delivery between contract and cash prices, and I like that it allows me to consistently bring in and have access to great quality fuels within my budget," said Reilley. Quality fuels, excellent service and the ability to contract smaller fuel quantities are signature elements of CountryMark's price risk management program. About Reilley Trucking In the 1970s, Kim Reilley started Reilley Trucking in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. Over the past 40 years, the family business has grown from a single truck to a bustling business with more than 60 over-the-road trucks.

A Better Way: Mythbusting (Part 9 of 10)
I loved the show Mythbusters, perhaps because I always longed for a job where you would get paid to blow stuff up. Well now, my time has come. Please indulge me as I "blow up" some myths about Yext.
"Yext Creates Bad Listings to Drive Sales"
"Yext Stole My Listings"
"Yext Takes Your Data if You Cancel"
It pains me to even give these myths oxygen, but since I have heard them stated out loud by SEOs I respect, let me put them to rest for good:
Yext DOES NOT create bad listings to drive sales.
Yext DOES NOT steal anyone's listings.
Yext DOES NOT take your data if you cancel.
So how do such myths come into being? As near as I can tell, they're due to a fundamental misunderstanding of how bad listings originate within an intelligent service like a search engine or a map. The assumption is that if one of those exists, someone must have created it for their benefit. But the truth is that bad listings originate for a number of reasons:
- Incorrect Data from Compiled Sources. Way back in Parts 2 & 3 of this series, we discussed how intelligent services, like search engines and maps, compile data from a number of different sources to form their knowledge base. These sources include a wide variety of public records, data aggregators, users, and businesses themselves. Each intelligent service weights their sources differently based on historical accuracy, data recency, and other factors of relevance. The service then leverages a proprietary algorithm to return the best result in the moment it is requested by a consumer.
This process is inherently subject to error, so intelligent services are constantly updating their algorithms. If you cringe when you hear Google Panda or Penguin, you know what I mean. So, the assumption that there's a perfect, third-party source of data out there upon which all intelligent services rely is simply wrong. Rather, there are some sources that develop a trusted reputation for quality over time and therefore, bubble to the top. For PowerListings® Network members, that source is Yext with data straight from the business itself. Remember, that's why Bing calls their integration with us "Yext on Top."
User Suggestions. Apple, Bing, Google, Facebook, and other intelligent services actively solicit user suggestions to help "fill in the blanks" of their knowledge base. You've seen this if you've ever tagged a location on Facebook and been asked if they're open until 11 PM or have live music. Shake your phone while using Google Maps, and you're instantly asked to "Report a Data Issue" or "Submit a New Place."
These efforts are well-intentioned and can really help improve the breadth of information a service provides for those businesses that do not actively manage their digital knowledge online. But for those that do, unfiltered user suggestions can wreak havoc with up-to-date business information. That's why Yext created Publisher Suggestions, a feature within the Yext Knowledge Manager that lets the company review user suggestions and decide which, if any, should be published. Right now, the feature can be used to monitor and review user suggestions on Google and Yelp with more to come.
- Data Degradation. This point is really an extension of #1, but it bears further emphasis due to the incorrect belief that Yext "steals your data" if you cancel. Plus, I have a sweet infographic to share!
Across the 10 services monitored, every piece of information about the business changed in those 12 months through no action by the business itself. Crazy, huh? So why did they change? Because of the ongoing efforts of the services to improve the information they provide to their users.
To summarize, here's SEO expert & tattoo aficionado (ask to see his James Bond) Greg Gifford of DealerOn:
Yext is a publicly-traded company with oodles of satisfied customers who are seeing impressive ROI from our platform. Just read about the success that Arby's, AutoNation, BMO Harris Bank, Denny's, FTD, Pep Boys, Marriott, Steward Health, and other brands have had working with Yext. The results aren't by accident.
If you ever gave any of the Yext myths any credence, I hope now you see the truth. However, if you still have doubts, please email me at duane-at-yext.com. I'm happy to help as needed. I also recommend checking out my thoughts from this series in the whitepaper, A Better Way with Yext. Download the full whitepaper today.

Understanding obsessive-compulsive personality disorder in adolescence: a dimensional personality perspective
Understanding obsessive-compulsive personality disorder in adolescence: a dimensional personality perspective - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
(2010)JOURNAL OF PSYCHOPATHOLOGY AND BEHAVIORAL ASSESSMENT.34(4).p.467-478 Mark abstract The validity of the Axis II Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD) category and its position within the Cluster C personality disorder (PDs) section of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV, APA, 2000) continues to be a source of much debate. The present study examines the associations between general and maladaptive personality traits and OCPD symptoms, prior to and after controlling for co-occurring PD variance, in a general population sample of 274 Flemish adolescents and further explores the incremental validity of two different maladaptive trait measures beyond general traits. The results demonstrate that the number of (general and maladaptive) personality-OCPD associations decreases after controlling for a general personality pathology factor, with the FFM factor Conscientiousness and its maladaptive counterpart Compulsivity as remaining correlates of OCPD. The findings further suggest to complement the general NEO-PI-R (Costa & McCrae, 1992) scales with more maladaptive items to enable a more comprehensive description of personality pathology variance. Implications for understanding and assessing OCPD in the developmental context of adolescence are discussed.

JEFFERSON COUNTY - The man police believe raped three women in three different Colorado cities, tried to rape a fourth woman, and assaulted a woman in Washington State, believed he was "entitled to have sexual intercourse with whomever he wanted," according to testimony from court documents.
Marc O'Leary is charged with 28 counts in connection to sexual assaults in Golden and Westminster, as well as an attempted sexual assault in Lakewood.
He pleaded not guilty to those charges Tuesday afternoon.
O'Leary has been linked to a rape in Aurora, but charges have not been filed in that case.
O'Leary is also wanted in Washington state, where authorities say he raped a woman who is now 21-years-old.
According to the affidavit of probable cause from Snomish County in Washington, O'Leary lived in Washington State in 2006 after serving in the U.S. Army. He remained in the military, joining the Washington State Army Reserves.
The documents say the 32-year-old lived in Western Washington until at least 2009, moving to Colorado right after.
The affidavit says after O'Leary's arrest at his Lakewood home, police interviewed the people familiar to him.
"A person familiar with Defendant [O'Leary] told investigators that Defendant was in a secret society that espouses the belief that the world is divided into 'alphas' and 'bravos.' [The] Defendant believed that he was an 'alpha,' and thus was entitled to have sexual intercourse with whomever he wanted."
According to the affidavit and the testimony at O'Leary's preliminary hearing in Jefferson County, he raped his victims and photographed them in various poses. When authorities searched his home in Lakewood, they found over 400 photographs of his sexual assaults.
The affidavit states in addition to evidence in the Colorado rapes, investigators found "photographic evidence" relating to a Snomish County woman's report of rape. The now 21-year-old told police she was home alone in Lynwood, Washington in August of 2008 when O'Leary raped her.
She reported the rape to police, but later recanted her allegations. She was then charged with false reporting, but the charges were dismissed after she completed counseling.
The Snomish County affidavit says there are similarities between the Washington State case and O'Leary's alleged behavior in Colorado.
They include O'Leary's meticulous photographing of his sexual acts, telling victims if they report the assault he will post the pictures online, binding victims' hands with either shoe laces or ribbon, and using latex gloves.
In Washington state, O'Leary faces a number of charges, including burglary, kidnapping and rape.

Police in Washington state say O'Leary is also a suspect in an October 2008 attempted sexual assault in Kirkland, Washington.

Clean and Simple One Word Thank You Card
Hello my crafty friends! Wow, it has been a long time since I last posted. It was a busy holiday season for me. Finally starting to unwind though and looking forward to some serious crafting time in the coming new year.
I am entering my card for this post into two challenges:
Less Is More Challenge Blog - the challenge is "one word" on the front of your card.
I have been following the Less Is More challenge blog pretty much since the start of the blog but this is my first time to enter one of their challenges. I have plans to enter many more in the coming new year. If you haven't checked out Less Is More, you should. The talent and inspiration is amazing. Every Saturday I look forward to a cup of coffee and checking out the new challenge for the week. I am always amazed at the beautiful cards that are posted for the examples. Then I enjoy going back during the week several times to see all the wonderful cards that are posted for the current challenge. I hope you will take some time to check them out. Here is a link to Less Is More and you can also find a link to them on my right sidebar.
I am also entering this card into the weekly member challenge over at CardMakers on the Card Swaps forum. This week the challenge is hosted by Golda and she asked us to make a clean and simple thank you card. You can find the challenge HERE. While you are there checking out the challenge, check out the info about the upcoming crop in February. The theme is "Winter Warm Up". There will be loads of challenges, fun , inspiration, games and prizes. Oh and did I mention that the crop is being sponsored by Elmers and Spellbinders? You won't want to miss the blog hop that also will be going on during the crop. It's over a month away but time flies by fast so be sure to mark the date on your calendar, February 8 - 11th.
The details on my card:
For the exception of the flower which is cut out and pop dotted, there are no layers, just the card base. The blue flower image is Fresh Bloom by Stampendous. I colored it with Prismacolor colored pencils and used some gold Stickles on the stamen. The spray of swirls and flowers are a clear stamp by Heidi Grace and stamped with Memories Ink. The flowers are colored with Prismacolor color pencils and a yellow Basic Grey rhinestone glued in the middle of each. "Thanks" is computer generated and cardstock is by Bazzill.
I hope everyone had a happy and wonderful Christmas. Wishing you all the best for the New Year and may it be a crafty one!
Thanks for stopping by!

The "Remain" side thought the EU referendum was all about economics. It was really about how we define ourselves as a nationby Roger Scruton / July 14, 2016 / Leave a comment
Published in August 2016 issue of Prospect Magazine
The result of the referendum on the European Union was surprising, not only because the opinion polls and bookies did not predict it, but because the factors which gave rise to it have been held off the agenda for so long that hardly anyone was prepared to discuss them. Subsequent bitterness and disillusion have begun to bring those factors to the surface and it seems to me imperative that we discuss them now, so that we can go forward in a spirit of national unity.
I have already used two question-begging words, and indeed the very words that lie at the heart of the conflict between those who voted "remain" and those who said "leave": the words "we" and "national." It is we who made the decision, but who are we, and what justifies the use of the first-person plural? If we think of ourselves as a nation, then which nation do we have in mind, and how do we square the outcome of the vote with the fact that England and Wales chose "leave," while Scotland and Northern Ireland opted for "remain"? Indeed, on some readings of the event, it is no longer possible, after the vote, to think of the United Kingdom in national terms at all. Perhaps it is true that those who voted "leave" were expressing their attachment to an older form of collective identity—the "we" of the nation, shaped and hardened by European wars—while those who voted "remain" were identifying with a global, outward-looking project that has the abolition of nations as its dominant aim. But it has not been true for a long time that the UK is a single national entity: it is at best a group of nations under a single sovereign, now being pulled apart by Europe's gravitational field.

1 Network Security Computer Networking Lecture 08 HKU SPACE Community College March 19, 2012 HKU SPACE CC CN Lecture 08 1/23
2 Outline Introduction Cryptography Algorithms Secret Key Algorithm Message Digest Public Key Cryptography Security Protocols Authentication Algorithms Message Integrity Protocols Remaining Issues HKU SPACE CC CN Lecture 08 2/23
3 Introduction Some expected network security services: Secrecy (or confidentiality): Prevent others from reading information shared between two participants. Authentication: Verifying someone s identity. Message integrity: Assure that the message received has not be altered after it was generated. Nonrepudiation: A sender should not be able to falsely deny later that he sent a message. Most of the security services require cryptographic tools as building blocks. Regarding the usage of cryptographic tools, there are two approaches: Keep the cryptographic algorithm (method) secret. (The preferred one) The cryptographic algorithm is not a secret, but the key is. HKU SPACE CC CN Lecture 08 3/23
4 Introduction (Cont d) The scope of the security issues (from networking point of view): Concern mainly the communication between two parties. Concern attacks against protocols, not those against cryptographic algorithms or cryptographic techniques used to implement the algorithms. Types of attacks against protocols: Passive attacks (eavesdropping), e.g., ciphertext-only attacks Active attacks, e.g., pretend to be someone else, introduce new messages in the protocol, delete existing messages, substituting one message for another, replay old messages, etc. HKU SPACE CC CN Lecture 08 4/23
5 Cryptography Algorithms One kind of cryptography algorithms is to process original data into some unintelligible form. The process is called encryption and the recovery of the original data is called decryption. The idea of encryption plaintext encryption ciphertext decryption plaintext Another kind of cryptography algorithms is to produce a unique piece data (signature) based on some given data. HKU SPACE CC CN Lecture 08 5/23
6 Cryptography Algorithms (Cont d) Requirements of the algorithms are: to keep the key secret is enough to ensure the privacy of the data; to be able to prevent the attacker from deducing the key, either by making the algorithm complicated (DES) making the algorithm be one-way (MD5) Common cryptography algorithms are: Secret key algorithms: Data Encryption Standard (DES) International Data Encryption Algorithm (IDEA) Public key algorithm: RSA Message digest: MD5 (also call cryptographic checksum) HKU SPACE CC CN Lecture 08 6/23
7 Secret Key (Symmetric) Cryptography Given: Alice and Bob agree on a cryptosystem. Alice and Bob agree on a key (secret). Encryption and decryption using the key. M E K (M) D K (E K (M)) M Problems: Keys must be distributed in secret. Compromising of keys means compromising all aspects of security. Number of keys is not scalable to the user population size. HKU SPACE CC CN Lecture 08 7/23
8 Secret Key (Symmetric) Cryptography (Cont d) Example: an 64-bit DES (Data Encryption Standard) Alice and Bob use the same algorithm and the same key to encrypt and decrypt. The only approach to attack is to search the entire key space. When more than 64 bits are required, use a cipher block chaining (CBC). The ciphertext for block i is XORed with the plaintext for block i+1 before running it through DES. An initialization vector (IV) is used in lieu of the nonexisting block 0. This number is randomly generated by a sender and it is sent along with the encrypted message. Triple-DES, i.e., encrypt the data three times. HKU SPACE CC CN Lecture 08 8/23
9 Secret Key (Symmetric) Cryptography (Cont d) Figure: Outline of DES. HKU SPACE CC CN Lecture 08 9/23
10 Secret Key (Symmetric) Cryptography (Cont d) Figure: CBC for large messages. HKU SPACE CC CN Lecture 08 10/23
11 Message Digest (Cryptographic Checksum) Message digest is a technique which can be used to verify whether a message has been malicious changed during the transmission (integrity). Message digest uses one-way hash functions as its fundamental building block. One-way functions are relatively easy to compute (given x, compute f (x)), but significantly harder to reverse (given f (x), compute x) For example, given integers x and y, it is easy to compute the product of x and y but hard to factorize a large integer. Given a cryptographic checksum for a message, it is not computationally feasible to find two messages that hash to the same cryptographic checksum. Example: MD5 HKU SPACE CC CN Lecture 08 11/23
12 Message Digest (Cryptographic Checksum) (Cont d) Figure: Outline of MD5. HKU SPACE CC CN Lecture 08 12/23
13 Public Key (Asymmetric) Cryptography In this method, two keys are used: a private key and a public key. It is computationally hard to deduce the private key from the public key. In the secrecy service, the encryption is done by using the public key and the decryption is done by using the private key. M E pub (M) D pri (E pub (M)) M Mathematically, the process bases on one-way functions. The public-key algorithm is slow. Symmetric algorithms are at least 1000 times faster. HKU SPACE CC CN Lecture 08 13/23
14 Public Key Cryptography - RSA RSA stands for Rivest, Shamir and Adleman. They are the inventors of the algorithm. The algorithm s outline goes as follows: Choose two large prime numbers p and q. Multiply p and q together to get n. Choose the encryption key e, such that e and (p 1) (q 1) are relatively prime. Compute decryption key d such that d =e 1 mod ((p 1) (q 1)). Construct private key as (e, n). Construct public key as (d, n). Discard (do not disclose) original primes p and q. To encrypt: c = m e mod n. To decrypt: m = c d mod n. Example: p = 3, q = 5, and plaintext = 9. HKU SPACE CC CN Lecture 08 14/23
15 Security Protocols Using the cryptography algorithms, we can design protocols to provide different security services. For the secrecy service, the secret key and the public key algorithms can be used. For the authentication service, we introduce here three protocols: two based on secret key algorithms and the other on public key algorithms. For the integrity, we also introduce three protocols. Besides the permanent keys, in a protocol, sometimes, the two participants may also establish session keys for ensuring the privacy between their communication. HKU SPACE CC CN Lecture 08 15/23
16 Authentication Algorithm (1) Assumption: both client and server already share a secret key. Approach: Each side generate a random number encrypted with the secret key. See whether the other side can decrypt it. Successful if CHK = SHK (client and server handshaking keys) SK: Session key HKU SPACE CC CN Lecture 08 16/23
17 Authentication Algorithm (1) Figure: Three-way handshake. HKU SPACE CC CN Lecture 08 17/23
18 Authentication Algorithm (2) This approach is based on a trusted third party (authentication server). Assumptions: A shares a secret key with S, and so is B with S. Notations in the messages: A, B: The participants identities T: Timestamp L: Lifetime K: Session key for A and B KA, KB: A s secret key shared with S and B s secret key shared with S, respectively. HKU SPACE CC CN Lecture 08 18/23
19 Authentication Algorithm (2) Figure: Trusted third party. HKU SPACE CC CN Lecture 08 19/23
20 Authentication Algorithm (3) Assumptions: Public key algorithm is used. A picks a random number and encrypts it with B s public key. B does the same to A. Figure: Public key authentication. HKU SPACE CC CN Lecture 08 20/23
21 Message Integrity Protocols Digital Signature Using RSA special case of a message integrity where the code can only have been generated by one participant, compute signature with private key and verify with public key. Keyed MD5 sender: m + MD5(m + k) + E(k, private); receiver: recovers random key using the sender s public key then applies MD5 to the concatenation of this random key message. MD5 with RSA signature sender: m + E(MD5(m), private); receiver: decrypts signature with sender s public key then compares result with MD5 checksum sent with message. HKU SPACE CC CN Lecture 08 21/23
22 Remaining Issues For the private key approach, how does a pair of participants generates and manages their shared secret key? Use RSA key exchange with digital signatures. Diffie-Hellman key exchange For the public key approach, how can one obtain another s true public key or how can one reliably advertise one s public key to others? Digital certificates Certification authority (a trusted third party approach) HKU SPACE CC CN Lecture 08 22/23

Glitteria, Glitz and all that jazz for sure!!!
Well well well....for long i have dabbled with blogs...have had three before this..total number of posts for all three put together would just about reach double digits...i thought what is that will make me to keep updating my blog...that which i am passionate about..and the result of which is this blog...movies and music! Being from India, i have access to all kinds of cinema and music forms! For long i have been cheated by reviewers who just go ahead and give such biased reviews...they would praise an absolutely crappy movies because they have good tie ups with those production houses and would rather confuse readers of their review than make those guys unhappy...or in the name of 'artistic satisfaction' or some crap like that they would give a thumbs down to a movie...and when such artistic movies do come along they give it a cold shoulder saying that it is too arty!!! I mean hello...its just become a bloody business...they have got themselves into a position where they abuse the box office collections by giving reviews...so i thought that blogs are the best place to have informal reviews but true ones nevertheless...reviews which say it like it is...reviews by a common viewer...In the next one year, i do not think that i would be finding time enough to watch any new movies...but irrespective of that i would be posting my thoughts on what i think of movies that i have seen...would probably make a bet on movies that i think should be good...and then see how it turns out ultimately...but music reviews would be regular for sure!!! And apart from that whats happening all around movies and music in India and across, random thoughts...in short - Glitteria, Glitz and all that jazz...or shall i say LIGHTS, CAMERA, SOUND and............ACTION!!!

Deepening your Understanding of Local and International Service Learning Programs.
Strategies for Meaningful Program Design and Implementation.
"If you have come here to help me, you are wasting our time.
But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together." Lilla Watson
Today, evidence is mounting surrounding the benefits of student engagement in local and international service learning programs. Increased leadership ability, intercultural understanding, language skills, and greater knowledge of global injustices are commonly reported outcomes. Furthermore, research suggests that service programs foster an environment where cultural norms and pre held assumptions surrounding self and society are challenged.
While support for service learning programs as a vehicle for fostering student transformation is strong, new questions and criticisms concerning the impact of local and international programs have begun to emerge. These new questions focus not only on the impact for student participants, but on the undertheorized relationship between service programs, the communities they serve, and the service projects in which they engage. In short, these criticisms can be summarized in three questions:
1. Are service programs exploitive?
2. Are service programs western paternalism?
3. Do service projects truly benefit those in the host community/organization?
Deepening our understanding of the complexity of these questions and the various ways scholars and practitioners have responded will form the foundation of this workshop.
From our perspective at ALIVE Outdoors, effective service programs begin with choosing a partner organization grounded in sustainability and a strong belief in the importance of local involvement and ownership over field projects.
Second, to maximize learning, structured facilitation for participants is necessary for all three stages of service programs (pre-departure, in-field, and re entry). For example, curriculum focusing on the development of a critical consciousness, redefining the word 'help' and providing pathways forward for students who have recently returned from these powerful experiences.
This workshop will include mini lecture, experiential activities, group discussions and a review of relevant and current research. Participants will deepen their understanding of the current criticisms and contradictions facing service programs and will leave with new curriculum and activities associated with all three program stages. We will also cover practical steps and key points to keep in mind when establishing local and international partnerships and discuss how service learning fits within the philosophy of experiential and outdoor education. It is important to note that this workshop is not meant to dismantle service learning programs rather, propel us all to deepen the meaning and maximize potential of our programs.
We are looking forward to collaborating with you in regards to this important and vast topic area.
"Unless we take up the pieces of this project as we can, we may not only fail to effectively teach our students how to engage in just global relations, we may fall terribly short of our own deepest hopes for doing so." Robin Crabtree
