Just a couple of months ago, we shared a fun map that lets users explore New York City's 592,130 street trees by species and trunk thickness. Brooklyn web developer Jill Hubley used data from the 2005-2006 Street Tree Census to create the map, but a lot of trees have come and gone in the past nine years. This time around, the Parks Department is crowdsourcing to count the city's street trees as part of its Trees Count! 2015 project. As Brooklyn Magazine reports, "Participants will be armed like park rangers, walking around different neighborhoods with tree identification guides and tape measures, recording data that will eventually trickle into an interactive map that encompasses all five boroughs."

Finally, after some false starts, too much work (for once!), man flu and a lot of time spent cocking around on my cross country skis (what are they upset about?) I finally got to take my Laser Comp out. The icing on the cake was that my free weekend came after a week of warm weather that had melted a lot of the snow. The Smarties on the icing on the cake was that Bergen was forecasted to get a weekend of very unseasonable sunny weather with daytime temperatures in the mid teens. Positively tropical.
After work on Friday I raced home and grabbed my already-packed Villain and headed straight out the door. Stomping up the hill in the late afternoon sunshine I realised that wearing Powerstretch in the mountains will soon be a distant memory, well, certainly until next winter.
I had no real plans as to where I was going to pitch my tent, just that I wanted a good view. After two hours of heading straight up I found a spot and unpacked the tent. In a matter of minutes it was up and although the pitch wasn't perfect it was already a damn sight more inviting than my usual tarp and bivvy. An evening mist boiled up from the south, spreading through the valleys like The Fog and soon the hill tops around Bergen were islands in a murky sea.
As I settled into my outdoor living room for the evening I rustled up some dinner of cheesy pasta with tuna and a can of cider that I'd pilfered from the fridge at the last minute before leaving our apartment, kept chilled, buried in a convenient patch of snow. I was going to have to go cold turkey from my daily fix of The Wire that I'd recently acquired a real taste for but thankfully I had ring side seats to an amazing re-run of 'the setting sun' which is on every night. It looks best on the biggest screen and tonight it didn't disappoint with a firery climax that left the sky blushed with magenta. In appreciation of the evenings proceedings a flying V of geese overhead honked their way northwards after their winter break.
After the light show I made myself a hot chocolate with a wee nip of bourbon and wandered around my little hill top admiring the stars that appeared one by one above my head. Down below I could just make out the city lights burning dully under their blanket of cloud. After a while, with the heat of the day rapidly being replaced with biting cold, I settled in for the night and read my book for a while. I set my alarm for 06.30 hoping to catch the morning repeat of the light show.
Too soon my alarm was buzzing away in my chest pocket and my Pat Benatar ring tone urged me to hit her with my best shot. I just hit the snooze instead. If I wasn't wide awake when I crawled out of my green nylon womb I was a second later when I emerged into a cold breeze.
The sun was coming up but it was hidden by the mountains to the east, instead it gave away it's impending arrival by painting the snowy peaks further south with pink. In 'the kitchen' I re-hydrated some Ready Brek with melted snow and strolled around my hill with a cup of coffee. The fog still hadn't budged from the valleys and I felt like the last man alive on the planet.
The sun finally broke over the mountain, past the frozen solid reservoir, and the temperature instantly went up a notch. I broke camp and stripped off some layers before taking a final look around. The day already had the feeling of another unseasonal hottie so I headed home, keen to share my experiences and the rest of the day with M. By the time I hit the ridge above Bergen the sun had chased the fog out of the city, the fog lingering over the docks in one final defiant fist shaking gesture before skulking off across the harbour.

'Warring' Kumasi assembly members threatened
A group has threatened to hold assembly members of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA), hostage if they fail to elect a Presiding Member tomorrow.
Members of the group, who pleaded anonymity, told The Ghanaian Times that "they should remain wherever they will decide to hold the election. If they fail to elect the presiding member we will not let them come out without any positive results".
Members of the assembly exchanged blows on Wednesday, over the election of Presiding Member with chairs flying as opposing factions clashed.
It was the fifth time the KMA was searching for a presiding member.
Before the voting, Baffour Agyei Kese IV, chief of Adum in Kumasi, who had contested for the fourth time with Nana Kofi Senya, withdrew from the race.
In the subsequent voting, either to confirm or reject Nana Senya's sole candidature, it ended in his rejection, thus led to him stepping down.
Nana Senya polled 62 votes as against 65 votes that said "No" to him.
The development gave rise to the opening of fresh nominations for interested candidates to contest for the Presiding Member position.
They were Abraham Boadi, assembly member for Nhyiaeso, Micheal Adusei, assembly member for Dadiesoaba, and Opoku Obeng, Bremang assembly member.
In the fresh voting, Abraham Boadi topped with 65 votes, followed by Adusei, 49. By law the winner should have received two-thirds of the votes cast but none got that.
Tomorrow promises to be the final moment to clinch the nod on the search for the presiding member as the public relations officer of the KMA, Okumah Nyame, puts it "we definitely are going to have a presiding member tomorrow to ensure the smooth running of the assembly".
From Kingsley E. Hope, Kumasi

Blog > 10 Tips For Great Content Marketing On A Budget
Posted By Create
Although content marketing (if this phrase means nothing to you, check out our introductory article here) can be as expensive as literally sending a man into space, the principles remain the same whether you've got millions in funding or just a couple of coppers to rub together.
The main thing to remember is that what you might not have in cash, you'll need to make up for in originality, creativity, effort and persistence.
Here I'll be sharing some tips on how you can create quality content and assess your strategy with a meagre budget or even no budget at all.
Create an ebook
If you have a great deal of knowledge or experience in a particular area, simply imparting this knowledge in the form of a free PDF ebook and sharing it with your audience should attract a lot of new customers. Don't feel you need to be too tied to your industry, either. Are you a childcare professional selling children's clothes wanting to write a book of tips for new parents? Go for it! If it's well-written, helpful and informative, your audience will share it and it will bring customers to your site!
Make an infographic
If you have a lot of customers signed up to your mailing list, why not send them a survey (SurveyMonkey offers a basic package for free) about something that would interest your audience? It could be topical or just fun! Then take the results and make an infographic (you could use a free online tool like infogr.am), an immediately accessible way of visually representing data. You could post this on your blog, encourage your audience to share it on social media or even send it out in a press release if you think the findings of your survey are pressworthy.
Film a funny video
Okay, this isn't as simple as filming a fake clip for You've Been Framed. Although viral videos and the like don't necessarily require high production values (see the recent Google Chrome adverts, some of which which look like amateur YouTube clips) it is important that you have an original idea.
Take inspiration from everyday life. If a funny thought occurs to you or you experience something unique, film it using your smartphone or digital camera. It doesn't even necessarily need to be connected to your industry. Upload the clip to YouTube and share the link with your audience. If they like it, try to film more like it. If not, try filming something else. You'll eventually make something that grabs your audience's attention and leads to more shares of your content and brand.
Write a guest blog
No-one does business in a vacuum. Sharing experiences and perspectives is what the web is all about, so if you're confidently blogging on your own site, reach out to other websites and blogs that cover your industry and suggest a couple of ideas you might have for a guest blog. Guest blogging like this can lead new audiences back to your site, and also provides you with yet more content to share with your customers.
Don't be tempted to reuse the content you wrote for the guest blog on your own blog, though! Search engines don't take kindly to duplicated content and your SEO ranking may be damaged.
Board a bandwagon
Although some things, like kittens and Justin Bieber, will always be popular on the web, others are uncertain and transitory. Trends may follow topical events in the news or just based around a popular joke or image that's doing the rounds on the web. Keep an eye on what's trending on Twitter and what's going on in the news.
If you see something you can relate to or can talk about with authority, make some content (e.g. picture, video, blog post, infographic) about it and send it out there into the web (making sure to include the right hashtag if you're using social media). Always have a calendar with national holidays and weeks handy so you can create content around these seasonal events well in advance.
Use your authority
Don't waste what you already have - your knowledge and experience. Pick a topic you can talk comfortably and knowledgeably about and go and make some content about it! Building your authority like this is good for Google as when it recognises that an online author has written a lot about a particular topic it starts to consider them a bit of an expert.
Appeal to emotions
It's all very well knowing a lot about something and talking about it, but what gets people interested in your content and makes them stay that way is whether or not it appeals to them on an emotional level. So try to provide a your personal perspective in your content.
Tell a story, present facts and thoughts in an unique way that will stay with people, or just create something memorable that will make someone feel happy, nostalgic, even shocked. Engaging with your audience emotionally should be at the forefront of all content marketing that you do.
Social media is free, so use it!
This horse has been pretty much been flogged to dust, but it's still worth reiterating. If you create content without building a following on social media with which to share it, you're entirely missing the point of content marketing. It's all about making nice things that entertain, inspire or just plain help people, with the aim being that your audience will share them in circles outside your current customer base. If you have no audience on social media, then your content is moot.
While we're on the subject, it's absolutely crucial that you add clear, recognisable icon links to your social media profiles on the home page of your website at the very least (try to add them to your website footer if possible, so they appear on every page). If you don't do this, your customers will never find your social media presence and will never get to see that awesome content you're creating.
Track your clicks
It's all very well checking your blog post's unique pageviews using Google Analytics, but to find out how successful your content has been on social media, use a link shortner like bit.ly. Bit.ly is particularly good because it's free and its reporting system is easy to use, clear and concise.
Just shorten your content's URL using bit.ly and make sure that you use this shortened URL whenever you share that piece of content on social media. Then you can go back to your bit.ly account later, see how many people have clicked that particular link and work out if that kind of content is getting you the shares and clicks you want on social media.
Feel free to experiment
Lastly, and I can't stress this enough: don't be afraid to try out different things or look a bit silly! Sure, it's important that you stick to your brand's ethical and moral values when creating content, but if you have an idea for some content that would entertain or interest you, that you would want to share with your friends, then go for it! Don't let your business head do all the thinking all the time!
It's great if you can associate quirky content with your brand and business, but even if not it's still worth a shot. If you've used some of the ideas I've listed above, your content was probably created for free anyway so what have you got to lose! You might just end up creating the next huge viral video clip, but even if you've just got your business on a few more people's radars in a way that stands out in the crowd, it's worth it.
I hope these tips and ideas for content marketing on a tight budget (or without a budget at all) have sparked an idea or two of your own. If you've seen or created some particularly clever content that you want to share with us, tweet us @create or add a link in the comments below!

The former is widely touted by the Western media as the "World's Happiest Man" while the latter is the grandson and spiritual heir of His Holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche and also a direct descendent of King Trisong Detsen of Tibet.

Binary MLM – The Affluence Network Theft
Thank you for coming to us in search of "The Affluence Network Theft" online.
Many people would rather use a money deflation, especially those who need to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Monetary privacy, for instance, is excellent for political activists, but more debatable as it pertains to political campaign funding. We need a secure cryptocurrency for use in commerce; if you're living paycheck to paycheck, it would happen included in your riches, with the rest reserved for other currencies.
For most users of cryptocurrencies it isn't necessary to comprehend how the procedure operates in and of itself, but it is simply crucial that you comprehend that there is a process of mining to create virtual currency. Unlike currencies as we know them now where Governments and banks can just select to print endless amounts (I am not saying they are doing thus, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining application, which solves the advanced algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation.
Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, however, if growth is too quickly, there may be some problems. If the platform is adopted quickly, Ethereum requests could improve drastically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the entire stage of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the increasing costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum stage and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether may result in an adverse change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based business that may result in business being unable to continue to run or to discontinue operation.
The physical Internet backbone that carries information between different nodes of the network is currently the work of several companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes companies that offer long distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local conduit, which finally joins in households and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through one of these ISPs, players like level 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP runs its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private businesses, and occasionally by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for last mile-consumers and businesses who want to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the data to stream without interruption, in the appropriate area at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations possesses the Internet together these businesses determine how it works, and recognized rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's occurring to determine how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for instance, one needs permission from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to attach to and with her. Concern over security dilemmas? A working group is formed to work on the problem and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you have someone to phone to get it mended. If the issue is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts set up and service level agreements, which govern the manner in which these problems are worked out.
The benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't governed by any centralized firm. No one can tell the miners to update, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a devoted advocate badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet operates. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works current built-in difficulties to an individual. Blockchain technology has none of that.
You have probably seen this often where you frequently spread the nice word about crypto. It is not unstable? What happens if the value crashes? to date, several POS devices presents free conversion of fiat, improving some worry, but before the volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, most of the people will soon be resistant to keep any. We have to find a way to fight the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies.
The Affluence Network Theft – Reverse Pass Up
Only a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, this means the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. A lot of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the number of bitcoins that are actually circulating in the exchanges. In addition, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Consequently, even the most diligent buyer could not purchase all existing bitcoins. This scenario is just not to imply that markets usually are not exposed to price manipulation, yet there's no need for substantial sums of money to move market prices up or down. The slightest occasions on earth market can change the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency volatile.
This mining action validates and records the transactions across the entire network. So if you're trying to do something illegal, it isn't recommended because everything is recorded in the public register for the rest of the world to see eternally.
Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in the same way, but they also get involved in more complicated smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a trade to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of people agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This permits progressive dispute mediation services to be developed in the future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment methods, the blockchain always leaves public proof that a transaction occurred. This can be potentially used in an appeal against companies with deceptive practices.
Since among the oldest forms of earning money is in money lending, it is a fact you could do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending sites currently focus on Bitcoin, many of these sites you might be needed fill in a captcha after a particular time period and are rewarded with a small quantity of coins for visiting them. You are able to see the www.cryptofunds.co site to locate some lists of of these sites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have quite different dynamics. New ones are always popping up which means they don't have a lot of market data and historical perspective for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have quite inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to think of a fair investment strategy.
Bitcoin is the principal cryptocurrency of the net: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, world-wide, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there's no governments, banks, or any other regulatory agencies. As such, it is more resistant to outrageous inflation and corrupt banks. The benefits of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the security and privacy risks. Security and seclusion can readily be achieved by just being smart, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't place your whole bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fastened by removing any identity of ownership from your wallets and thus keeping you anonymous.

Hybrid Binary – The Affluence Network Theft
Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are placed into circulation. Because there's no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to produce more. The mining process is what makes more of the coin. It may be useful to think about the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are precisely the same. Mining crypto coins means you will get to keep the total benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your odds of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members will have a higher possibility of solving a block, but the reward will be split between all members of the pool, predicated on the number of shares won.
If you are thinking about going it alone, it is worth noting that the software configuration for solo mining can be more complex than with a pool, and beginners would be probably better take the latter path. This option also creates a secure stream of revenue, even if each payment is modest compared to entirely block the benefit.
In the case of a fully functioning cryptocurrency, it may perhaps be exchanged as being a product. Proponents of cryptocurrencies announce this form of virtual money isn't handled by way of a key bank system and is not therefore susceptible to the whims of its inflation. Because there are always a restricted variety of products, this coin's price is based on market forces, enabling owners to trade over cryptocurrency trades.
Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others have been designed as a non-fiat currency. Quite simply, its backers assert that there's actual worth, even through there is no physical representation of that worth. The worth grows due to computing power, that's, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time period that's worth an ever diminishing amount of money or some sort of reward to be able to ensure the deficit. Each coin consists of many smaller units. For Bitcoin, each component is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are just to authenticate other trades, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant alternative, which will be one of the appealing aspects of the coin. Once created, each Bitcoin (or 100 million satoshis) exists as a cipher, that is part of the block that gave rise to it. The one who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it to some value is provided by another address, which is a wallet file stored on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of all trades dwells.
The fact that there's little evidence of any increase in the utilization of virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal attempts to regulate it. The reason behind this could be merely that the marketplace is too little for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory attempt. Additionally it is possible the regulators simply don't comprehend the technology and its implications, anticipating any developments to act.
Here is the coolest thing about cryptocurrencies; they usually do not physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you look at a particular address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there's no digital information held in it, like in the same way that a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It really is simply a representation of value, but there is no actual tangible form of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or immobilized or audited by the banks and the law. They would not have spending limits and withdrawal restrictions enforced on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can determine how their wealth will be managed.

Anyone who owns a car knows how much of a pain auto repair can be. You'll waste precious time or money on mechanic repairs or self repairs. Self repair and mechanic repairs can be a pain, but the experience can be improved with this article.
Invest in a quality battery charger and always keep it in your car. Having a car battery die is a common problem, so keeping a battery charger in your car can help you and others in this situation. Before you drive again, figure out how to use it properly.
Before allowing them to repair your vehicle, verify that the mechanic has A.S.E. certification. The basis of this certification is that your mechanic has over two years of experience and they have passed appropriate testing. This means you have the best mechanic performing maintenance on your automobile.
Do not underestimate the importance of having an emergency kit in your car. Be sure the kit has tools for charging the battery, adding gas to the tank, and changing tires. For night time breakdowns, make sure to include warm blankets and a flashlight with extra batteries.
Inspect your radiator once in a while. Start your car, wait a few minutes and shut it off so you can safely inspect the radiator. Do not lift the radiator lid when the engine is running or if it is too hot. Check how much fluid is in the radiator with a dipstick and keep in mind that you should always mix coolant with water before pouring it in your radiator.
Be sure to wash your car often so as to prevent rust. Rust is an inevitability, but you can stave it off for a good while. Wax your car often to protect the paint, as often as you can.
Talk with your technician to determine if they have worked on your car before. If they have, they probably know what it takes to make the needed repairs.
Referrals are one of the best ways to find a reputable auto mechanic. Ask co-workers, friends and family for recommendations. You can find out about the quality of service and the costs. You can learn first-hand experiences about the honesty and skill of the mechanic.
Referrals can be helpful for finding an auto mechanic. You can ask anyone you trust, from your hairdresser to your family. You can gain information about prices and level of quality. They will be the first to tell you about a dishonest mechanic too!
Be wary of mechanics that try and make unnecessary repairs to your car. A good mechanic should let you know if they noticed parts that are starting to get worn down and will need to be replaced soon but they should not replace the part without your approval. Do not take your care twice to a mechanic who performed some unnecessary repairs.
Beware of mechanics who do unneeded repairs on the car. They should contact you before doing any extra work. If an auto technician performs unnecessary repairs or repairs that were not agreed upon beforehand, don't return to them for further services.
Find a mechanic who has experience with the make and model you drive. While the basic components are all the same, there is going to to be a big difference in the way say a Hummer versus a Smart car utilize the space under the hood. If you are unsure, pay the extra to have a dealer do the repairs.
When taking your car to the auto shop, make sure you haven't left any items in it. Your mechanic may need these parts removed so that they can make repairs. If you discover missing items later, they hold no liability. Empty the trunk too.
You shouldn't forget about your wiper blades. If the wipers are streaking, you may need a replacement. You should replace them yearly, but you may need to do it twice a year if you are located in a rainy area.
Fixing a headlight or a taillight by yourself is very easy. While it's easier in some vehicles than others, it's a whole lot cheaper to do it yourself. Speak with friends and family for pointers or instructions.
Inquire about labor rates and overall cost before handing your keys to the mechanic. Some repair shops display their rates, so read them carefully and be sure to ask about anything you don't fully understand. Since it's your car, you have to know the cost of repairs. Some stops estimate repair times according to what the manufacturer suggests. You may find that a repair that is deemed minor may take all day.
Wiper Blades
Monitor your dashboard lights regularly. They are meant to help; use them to your advantage. Ignoring them for extended periods of time will only make the problem much worse than it already is.
Your wiper blades need TLC. If you see that the wipers aren't cleaning effectively, a new pair is in your future. Wiper blades should be replaced a minimum of once per year. If your area receives a lot of rain, then you may need to replace your blades more regularly.
Just because it's winter doesn't mean you should quit washing your vehicle. While it probably doesn't seem like there's a point, winter time can be damaging to your vehicle. Salt and sand can tear away at the surface of your car. To be sure that ice doesn't build up, make sure the car gets dried after washing it.
Don't try and figure out what is wrong with your car by yourself. Remember, you are not an expert! A minor issue can spiral into a huge dilemma. To be sure that the job is done right, have an auto repair shop diagnose the issue. Just tell them the symptoms you are experiencing, including noises or the "feel" of the car, but then let them do their job.
Check tire pressure each time you fill your tank. Look at your tires and ensure that there's nothing stuck on them. If anything is wrong with your tires, the problem needs to be addressed quickly. Driving around with bad tires is not something you should ever do.
Read your owner's manual when you get a new car. You really ought to study the manual so that important details are easy to find. Your manual has all that you should know when it comes to maintaining your car and doing minor repairs yourself.
It is a good idea to take some photos of your car, prior to taking it to the garage. A lot of shops aren't going to strip things out of your vehicle, but some will if they are trying to make more money. This can give you proper documentation in the case of an accident.
Original Equipment Manufacturer is often referred to as OEM. When having replacement parts installed on your vehicle, you might want keep this information in mind. You will sound like a knowledgeable person on auto repair by telling your mechanic to install OEM parts. This tells the mechanic that you know what you're talking about and don't want used parts.
Take the time to learn about car part classifications before seeing a mechanic. Know the difference between rebuilt and reconditioned, new, and salvage parts. New parts come right from the manufacturer's factory. If you are offered parts that are reconditioned or rebuilt, this means that they have been re-manufactured so that they are like new. Salvaged parts are those that have some wear and tear to them.
Knowing about how your car runs can help you recognize any problems. If you know nothing about cars, think about taking a class. While spending money on a course may not be something you want to do, it can actually help you save later on down the road because you'll have a better idea about how cars work. Therefore, you will be better able to pinpoint problems before they become too serious, which will help your car last longer.
Avoid diagnosing your own car problems. Know that you may not be a total expert! What may seem like a simple problem to fix can be quite complex, especially in newer computerized vehicles. Let your mechanic do the diagnosing. Be knowledgeable about the details, but let the repair shop make the diagnosis.
If you request a repair quote for your vehicle, ask for an itemized list. You can then easily compare fees between different mechanics and make sure the estimates cover the same items. Since the parts required for a given job will cost roughly the same at most garages, you can focus on the difference in the prices of their services.
When having repairs on your car, it is important to keep warranties in mind, especially when purchasing costly components. For any parts that you order, inquire about their warranty from the mechanic. Have a version of this warranty printed up so you can keep it with your records.
Your car has many warning lights to give you a heads up when something is wrong. But you shouldn't rely on these items alone. If the warning light bulb burns out, there is no way for your car to warn you of the issue.
If money is especially tight and you are desperate to get your car repaired, consider contacting the auto repair department of your local vocational school. This will save you money and can give you just as good a job on your car.
Make sure you seek repairs from a manufacturer-authorized mechanic. If you take this measure, you'll save a lot of money, as many of the repairs are covered under your warranty. By visiting other dealers, your warranty may be void; therefore, you will have to pay more money.
After a mechanic makes a diagnosis on your vehicle, see if you can't get a couple of hours to make your decision on getting services. Call around and get more quotes before making your decision. If another place can fix it cheaper, pay the first place their fee for the diagnostic and have your car fixed somewhere else.
Before getting major repairs done on your car, work on getting a second opinion. Always find different estimates, regardless of whether or not this hurts the mechanic's feelings. If their diagnosis and price quote were honest, they will stand by it.
Ask people you know to recommend a mechanic to you. This is a great method since your friend has personal experience with them. It's better than just asking around to see if anyone can help you that hasn't been proven to be reliable.
Always ask questions when you are taking your car to a mechanic. The auto shop can be a confusing place; you need to know what is happening with your car and what the final price for service will be. All of the reputable auto repair companies will answer any and all questions that you have.
Don't be scared when you need to ask a question about car repairs. If you're taking your vehicle to get repaired at a shop, it is important to know what exactly is going to be done and how much it's going to cost. Any company worth its salt will answer these questions for you.
Make sure that the technician you use knows a lot about your vehicle. In particular, he or she should know something about the make and model of your car. If they do not, then you should probably visit another mechanic.
Refrain from doing work on your car unless you have the knowledge necessary. If you don't do a repair properly, you may actually end up voiding the warranty that came with the car. This will make you financially responsible for everything that happens to it in the future.
Keep track of all the repairs done to your vehicle. It's best to keep this information in your car. These records will help you diagnose recurring problems and give mechanics a good idea of the kind of repairs you made in the past. You will save time and money by keeping records.
Once you get a diagnosis of what needs to be fixed on your vehicle, use the Internet to look at spare parts and compare prices. The Internet contains a lot of helpful websites that can provide you with an estimate as to the total costs of car repairs. Use this online estimate to compare against the estimates your local repair shops provide.
Getting your vehicle fixed is not easy, but you can improve your experience by using these tips. These tips can really help when you need a better auto repair experience. You will be much happier with the results.
When you need your car repaired at a shop, you might want to ask the mechanic to go on a ride with you. That way, they will see for themselves what is going on with the vehicle. This is the best way for your mechanic to determine what the issue is.

As with 2017, Supervisor and Onsite Worker surveys will be completed anonymously through links to Survey Monkey. Once ICI has received your completed application and accompanying documentation, we will send the Survey Monkey links to the person who completed the form. Contractors should distribute the supervisor links to your supervisors and the onsite worker survey link to your onsite workers via text or email, and ask them to take the anonymous surveys as soon as possible. Employees can take the surveys using phones, laptops, tablets or jobsite computers. Contractors without the capabilities of doing the surveys electronically should call the ICI office at (317) 634-7547 for paper surveys and instructions.
ICI is requiring a minimum number of completed surveys based on the number of onsite hours worked. However, this year there is no limit to the number of individual supervisors and onsite workers you can ask to participate. We believe the more of your people you can get to fill out these surveys the better the feedback on your safety program.

The city of Ajdabiya (160 km west of the city of Benghazi) on Friday, witnessed a heavy deployment of security and military personnel, as part of a plan aimed at securing mosques located within the city to prevent any violations or attacks that may occur.
The move comes after a series of terrorist attacks targeting the mosques of Al-Radwan and Saad bin Abada in the city of Benghazi in months past, which killed dozens of civilians and wounded hundreds more.
During Friday prayers, security and military personel of the city closed the main streets leading to the mosques to prevent cars from entering, in order to ensure the safety of the worshipers.
The security operations room of Ajdabiya, as well as the 21st infantry and 519 infantry Battalions of the Libyan Armed Forces, were deployed to secure the mosques.

Benefit for:
Marlana Ramsey
Marlana Ramsey (Shy to many) is a loving, caring, fighting mother of FOUR!
Marlana was hospitalized at Eliott Hospital in Manchester, NH on Saturday, April 22nd due to several complications with her pregnancy. The hospital decided to keep her and monitor her condition. On Friday morning, Marlana suffered heart failure from the stress of the pregnancy. The Elliot staff did a fantastic job and Marlana was able to deliver 2 healthy baby boys. It was determined that her heart was not pumping effectively enough and she was immediately transferred to Catholic Medical Center Cardiac Unit. The care that she received there was amazing and she was stabilized and sent by Medflight to Mass General to further monitor her. Since being at Mass General Marlana has been on full life support because her heart can't function on its own. Irreversible damage has been done to the left side of her heart and therefore Marlana underwent open heart surgery on Tuesday, May 9th and has been placed as a priority on the heart transplant list. Marlana's doctors determined she suffers from a rare condition called Peripartum Cardiomyopathy.
Marlana has two daughters Ilithyia (5 years old) and Trulee (2 years old) and 2 healthy newborn baby boys who are currently at NICU at Elliot Hospital in Manchester, NH. Marlana's husband Christopher Ramsey has been juggling the visits between the newborn babies in Manchester, his wife in Boston and two daughters staying with family in Gilmanton NH.
On Friday, May 12th we held an on air fundraiser throughout the WAAF Hill-Man Morning Show and matched donations up to $5,000.

|ALEX SCHAEFER, Hourly Rates, Robert Berman Gallery, LA CA January 4 – Feb 1, 2003
Back to Archives
Hauntingly honest and decidedly unpretentious, LA based painter, Alex Schaefer playfully adopted and disposable consumer based notion of "Hourly rates", as the title and thematic thread for his January show at Robert Berman Galley in Santa Monica Los Angeles.
Observing strippers and cheap hotel rooms from throughout LA, Schaefer offered 22 separate works bound by the mantra of hourly rates as a common denominator. Contrary to possible charges of misogyny and body objectification, Schaefer's playful vision underscores the simple links and parallels to the equasive joy of everyday commerce. Both the hotel rooms and the strippers triumph as everyday tools of the market economy, providing cheap and convenient satisfaction for basic needs and wants.
Politically, its contentious as to whether strippers and or hotel rooms should be lumped together as comparable cogs in the wheels of industry. Yet exploring this rhetoric isn't the intention of Schaefer, his aesthetic treatment conjures an air of anonymity for his subjects, liberating them from their everyday meaning, purging them of emotional and psychological ambiguity, recontextualising them from bland, frozen moments of society's " darker" side.
Perhaps his use of a quote by German artist Rainer Maria Rilke, in his publicity material may help clarify Schaefer's intentions, "You will notice, each time more clearly than the last, how essential it was to get beyond the love as well; of course it is only natural that you love these objects as you're painting them; but if you show that, then you don't paint them as well; you judge them instead of expressing them, You stop being impartial and, as a result, the best part, the love stays outside the work, does not enter into it, remains something else, untransmuted….You painted; I love this thing instead of painting, here it is."
Acting on a sense of Freudian nostalgia, combined with his own eccentric romanticism, Schaefer aimed to avoid the technical clichés associated with his subjects. Rather than focus on the obvious stark and even morbid shadow of the subjects, he uncharacteristically transforms them, helping them graduate from a generic void to possess a newfound personality.
Exploring the generic quality of LA's downtown hotels, Schaefer stayed overnight at venues with names like The Royal Viking, the Olive Manor and The Downtowner. Poised with canvas and easel, he observed their untouched beds and empty bathrooms, dwelling on their ambience and transforming their ordered, and generic anonymity. into a canvas based visions of paradoxical beauty. For his nude renderings, Schaefer bypassed his vast pool of scholastic contacts, opting for the dirty realist route by targeting LA's Paris strip club, where, adjourning to a private booth for post strip favors, he forfeited gratuitous "hand relief" instead asking girls to pose while he sketched them. He later adapted, and elaborated on these roughs transforming them into larger sized oil paintings.
Schaefer is keen to confide that he was more motivated by the gritty realism of the moment than notions of voyeurism, or sexuality. He is also determined that the work is not mere portraiture, rather a canvas bound document of exposed privacy.
The artist offers his own visual stance on a situation, one that is born from recontextualising a moment. In the case of his stripper works, the clichéd preconceptions associated with the view awarded newfound neutrality, purged of emotional and psychological baggage, observing not judging.
With much frivolity and mirth, Schaefer fondly recounts the volatile environment in which he painted, smuggling his materials into a phone booth sized room. He also dodged arguments with club managers, occasionally being ejected, only to return amongst the flock of attendees shuffling into the club as if on some vital errand later hurriedly escaping in a frenzy of embarrassment and catholic guilt.
Stylistically Schaefer is adamant that he has removed himself from the machinations of everyday portraiture and still life, it's an accurate admission. His technically adept touch is testament to his career as a Professor of Painting at Artcenter in Pasadena. It also underscores his ability to craft his own perspective, his oeuvre more concerned with totality than a mere singular component of his focus.
With a technique recounting the pixilated brush stroke style of Cézanne or the Dutch realists, Schaefer can transform even the most generic or formulaic view into something exuberant, reinterpreting it with a renewed perspective giving it new life and meaning.
In the same manner as Vermeer and Cézanne, Schaefer's images synthesize a fascination with light that extends the transformative qualities of the work. A mundane stance is resurrected via use of light as a liberating force. This light, rather than added as an afterthought, seems to come from somewhere within the canvas itself. "I want my paintings to be beautiful not only because of the light they reflect, but also in and of their surfaces." Schaefer says.
Apart from his ingenuity in seeking subjects to paint, the striking quality about Schaefer's work is his ability to transform a dark and Spartan world into something personable, helping it emerge from a subterranean realm of clinical anonymity to a vision exuding warmth and personality.

Dear Trudi,
I am writing to you about our 5 year old pug, Dolly. She seems to have a serious foot fetish – with her feet, not ours! She spends a LOT of time lying around with her two front legs out in front of her and her feet together, so she can lick both of her paws at the same time. Sometimes, she will be doing it for ages and I have to say something to her. She will stop if I tell her to, but the minute I turn my back she starts licking again.
I have checked her feet and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with them, or at least anything there that requires such attention. She seems to have become quite obsessed with it, and I don't know if I should stop it or just ignore it. What do you think?
Hi Libby,
Anytime there is an odd behaviour involved, it is important to rule out the medical. If everything is ok medically, then you can adopt a behaviour modification protocol that directly targets the specific problem. This type of licking is usually behavioural, however repetitive licking in one spot can cause local sensitivity and local irritation, which if not dealt with may turn into a lick granuloma – or open sore. Dogs that have this tendency are always most likely to lick their front feet and sometimes their back feet. The main reason they choose this part of their body is pure convenience – the feet are the more convenient to get to than the rest of their body.
The exact reason as to why they do it is largely unclear, but there is sufficient reason for us to believe that it results from situations that evoke conditions such as stress, anxiety or boredom. A foot licking problem may also start out as a medical one, and later develop into a learned behaviour, not dissimilar to that of nail biting in humans.
Because of the medical and behavioural implications associated with obsessive licking, it is important to stop it before it develops into something more sinister.
There are several products on the market with a bitter taste that discourage them from licking their feet, but probably the best way to go about dealing with this particular 'foot fetish', is redirection. Like with any training, time, patience and consistency are the absolute keys to achieving and maintaining successful outcomes, along with using incentives that redirect Dolly's attention away from her feet like playing a game or using toys to distract her. This will be a lot more effective than just band-aiding the problem with a product. Following up with positive reinforcement will further cement the foundations to successfully "breaking the habit".

MOSCOW — Even this many decades later, the legacy of World War II still arouses tensions in Eastern Europe. Consider the latest row between Russia and its Baltic neighbors.
Lithuania, a former Soviet republic, approved a law last week that bars the public display of Soviet symbols. In what the BBC referred to as the toughest such measure in the former Soviet Union, Lithuania also outlawed the playing of the Soviet national anthem and the public display of photos of high-ranking Soviet officials.
No matter that Lithuania's law also covered the symbols and icons of Nazi Germany -– Russia quickly took offense at the law anyway. In Moscow, officials declared that the measure was an insult to the Soviet soldiers who defeated the Nazis.
On Sunday, Russia's president, Dmitri A. Medvedev, issued a statement that condemned "any attempt at the rewriting of history and the revising of the results of World War II." He was joined by the president of Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko.
A spokesman for the Kremlin told Reuters that the statement was directed toward Lithuania, the other two Baltic states –- Latvia and Estonia — and Ukraine.
Such disputes have repeatedly flared since the Soviet Union's fall. Last year, when Estonia relocated a statue of a Red Army soldier out of the center of its capital, Tallinn, there were public disturbances in Tallinn and Moscow and accusations of "blasphemy" from the Kremlin. The crisis culminated in a series of cyber-attacks against web sites in Estonia.
Russians viewed the monument as a tribute to their countrymen who fought and died to free Estonia from German occupation. Many Estonians, however, remember that Soviet troops invaded what had been independent Estonia before the Germans did, and see the monument as a symbol of a half-century of Soviet occupation after the war.
Relations have also grown tense over the rights of the Russian-speaking minorities in Latvia and Estonia. Inability to speak their countries' primary languages fluently has kept many Russian speakers from qualifying for citizenship after independence.
Last week, President Medvedev announced that such so-called stateless Russian speakers in the Baltics would be allowed to enter Russia without a visa. Estonia responded by asserting that Russia was trying to meddle in Estonia's efforts to integrate these people into the nation's social fabric.

Short feedback loops are one of the key benefits to the success of agile because they enable teams to learn fast and adjust. This technique is leveraged in numerous practices used by agile teams including the daily standup, sprint demos, code checkin, build and validation cycles, pair programming, and continuous delivery. One of the key benefits that convinced me to try agile was its claim to deliver greater value with higher quality. After I had experimented with agile for a while, I started to understand just how critical short feedback loops are to achieve these goals.
Short feedback loops enable you to learn fast so that you can adjust while the costs are low. It has been well understood in software development that the cost to fix a defect increases and in many cases increases dramatically the longer you wait to fix it. Some of the reasons are that more code may have been added making the defect more complex to fix, the new code requires additional testing and fixing, and by the time you get to the fix, you may have lost familiarity with the code in question. To combat this issue, it is critical to find defects soon after the code is checked in. One short feedback loop used to combat this is to automatically test the code through a series of progressive test gates. Additionally if the code is checked in frequently (another short feedback loop) developers get quick feedback on quality.
Another manifestation of short feedback loops is the daily standup which enables teams to identify critical blockers and get help to get them fixed before the next meeting. Someone has a problem, someone jumps into help fix it. Shorten the time to fix a problem; reduce the cost.
To ensure that agile teams are meeting the needs of their customers, they demo their new work at the end of each sprint to get timely feedback. This version of a short feedback loop is fairly well known to agile teams but it may be surprising how few teams actually do these with their end users. These demos give the product users ongoing updates on how the new code is progressing and the opportunity to provide feedback. This kind of feedback is like bug fixing, the sooner it is applied the more cost effective it is. Going a step further, releasing functionality frequently enables users to get traction and provide feedback before the functionality is complete. Customers have to be willing to experiment and respond but the win for them is that they do get an active voice in getting the value they require.
As teams continue their agile adoption, it is useful to remember why we adopt various techniques to make sure that we get the value promised. To deliver higher value with better quality we use short feedback loops so that we learn fast and adjust.

"On-Time and Drug Free" is often the first pass response to the open-ended question to a manufacturer: "What do you expect of a new employee". Important qualities of a new employee but not new or needed information. FLATE's quest to help structure the CTE and State College system education options into a platform to create a world-class manufacturing workforce in Florida goes way beyond the high level of social skills and work ethics standards expected of that workforce. Avenues for instilling these qualities are already resident in the nationally recognized manufacturing related credentials included within the Florida Department of Education guided career paths. In addition, the rigor and continuous demands of the Associate of Science degree in Engineering Technology assure an employer that the path to needed work based social and interaction skills are in place and practiced by every graduate. The "Drug Free" requirement reflects a serious social problem at the national level that a technical education structure can only indirectly addresses. Perhaps the nation is ready to address this issue. However, students that do earn rigorous nationally recognized credentials and the Engineering Technology degree also possess an internal drive that fosters a drug free lifestyle.
If Florida is to create the workforce to meet a global manufacturing mission, FLATE needs information that has moved beyond this first tire, "On-time Drug Free" response category. This year FLATE and FloridaMakes will interact with manufacturers and regional manufacturing Associations to drill down into the skill set expectations of manufacturing workers that will increase process efficiency and product quality. This exploration requires extra energy from all parties but the increased details will refine the processes Florida uses to produce the fundamental non-competitive technical expertise necessary at all levels of manufacturing. Florida has a great future in global manufacturing when the needed skills development is transferred to the education system. FLATE can help with that transfer into the education system but manufacturers have to identify the critical skills. If you can help, let us know. Contact us at email@example.com - anytime.

It's also an interesting time because people buy paintings pre-show…..and yesterday, one of the big diptyches sold. More interesting, the visceral reaction to paintings that helps me select which pieces will go into the show.

Check out the The Caffeinated Book Review for the Sunday Post
It's Monday! What Are You Reading is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date
Hi all! I hope you all had a wonderful week! I've gotta tell you, I am feeling homebound and shut in, between the weather and the flu, but honestly, the flu more. We have been trying like heck to avoid it, and have been staying in or just going outside, but not really going anywhere. It's beginning to take a little toll on us! We did make Valentines for Wyatt's cousins and friends, and even managed to deliver a few. We have a few left, but it's never too late to deliver happy little notes, in my opinion. I wish I would have snapped a pic, they were adorable. We traced Wyatt's hand and folded down the fingers to the ASL sign for "I love you", since Wyatt is still working on gaining speech. We put a little heart in the palm that said Happy Valentines Day, signed them, and that was that. Adorable. I saw them somewhere first, this was not my idea, but unfortunately I can't remember where I saw them. Billy and I are going to go out to dinner next weekend to celebrate - better late than never!
Read Last Week:
I finished Nevernight, which was AWESOME! Books usually don't surprise me too much, but this one definitely did. So good!!! I can't wait to read the next one in the series.
I also loved the Adichie book, although much much different!
This Fallen Prey - I was so excited to read this! I love the Rockton series, and this one wasn't as good as its predecessors. I did enjoy it however. Still good, just not as good.
Reading This Week:
I have only read on Bowen book, but I loved it. I am looking forward to reading and reviewing this one, courtesy of Lake Union Publishing.
The Olympics, Riverdale, Home Town, Outlander
How about all of you? How was your week?
