The menstrual cycle/monthly period is such an important aspect of every woman's life. Let's face it, menstruation is a pain, period! Which makes it crucial for you to find convenient ways to manage your menstrual flow and hygiene so that it does not interrupt your daily life. Ultimately, when it comes down to dealing with the monthly visitor, it is best to ensure that the choices you make do not leave you financially strained, vulnerable to health hazards or in embarrassing situations that make you feel less confident about yourself and body. If you're looking for a safe, comfortable and affordable alternative, you should be thinking about Luv Ur Body Menstrual Cups!
From pads to tampons, finding the right medium to manage your periods can be such a hassle. Health, finances and various other factors largely influence the choices we make as women when it comes to managing menstrual health and you might want to consider a lifestyle change to the more convenient alternative such as the Luv Ur Body Menstrual cup. Menstrual cups in comparison to pads and tampons present a safer, long lasting, cost and environmentally friendly alternative to managing your periods.
What is a Menstrual Cup?
Not sure what they are? Menstrual cups are an alternative to pads and tampons for menstruation. Unlike the usual pads, tampons or panty liners, the Menstrual cup collects the menstrual flow inside the vagina rather than absorbing it, which allows you the chance of re-using it once you empty or flush away the content(s) and clean the cup by rinsing it with water. I am sure you are thinking to yourself, 'Why would I ever use a menstrual cup?' Stay with me here and let me introduce you to Luv Ur Body Menstrual Cups. Truth is, the Luv Ur Body Menstrual cup is a surprisingly awesome alternative that is reusable and cost effective with an ideal life span of about 3 years. Luv Ur Body Menstrual Cups are 100% biocompatible and hypoallergenic because they are made of Class VI medical grade silicone approved by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) of the USA. They are also the first and only menstrual cup approved in Nigeria by National Agency For Food & Drug Administration & Control (NAFDAC) and the Standards Organisation Of Nigeria (SON). The NAFDAC number is 03-2616 and the SON number is BA00768. Medical grade silicone is the same silicone used to make most medical devices that are FDA approved and implantable in the human body for decades such as artificial hearts, artificial knee and hip joints, all medical tubings and drains, heart pacemakers, condoms, sex toys, respiratory masks, scar treatment sheets and catheters to name a few. Medical grade silicone is non-porous which means the surface cannot harbor bacteria or residue. So once you buy one Luv Ur Body menstrual cup, you will never need to buy another pad or tampon ever again in your life.
Once you get the hang of it, Luv Ur Body Menstrual cups are super comfortable and can be used for up to 12 hours and hold three (3) times the volume of pads and tampons. You cannot feel it inside you just the same way a tampon cannot be felt if correctly inserted. There is no pain or discomfort and it will not widen the vagina because the vagina is a muscle and can expand to accommodate anything inserted into it up to the size of a baby's head or a man's sexual organ, which are both much larger than a Luv Ur Body Menstrual cup. This means less money and waste over time as they can hold three times the volume of pads and tampons. Luv Ur Body Menstrual cups are also great for exercising, long journeys or long work days (so that you don't have to "change" on the way or while at work) and for other rigorous activities. What's more? They can also be used to swim! Yes, you read that right. Swimming or maintaining an active lifestyle is very comfortable with a cup. It will not soak up and draw in the dirty chlorine filled water into your vagina the way the tampon does. A Menstrual Cup will keep the water out.
Luv Ur Body Menstrual cups are incredibly safe, contain no toxins or bleaches, chemicals or carcinogenic materials frequently found in pads and tampons that can cause a lot of health risks inside the vagina. Bleach is used during production to make pads and tampons extreme white. Carcinogens are defined as any substance that is capable of causing cancer in humans or living tissue. Some of the ones found in these pads and tampons include Styrene (used to make car tyres), Chloromethane (used in petroleum refining), Acetone (used to make nail polish remover, Chloroethane (used to make styroform) and pesticide and fertilizer residue. These last 2 stem from the fact that some of the materials used to make them are plant based/crops such as cotton. Synthetic materials such as Rayon is also frequently used to make tampons and pads. In fact, medical experts rate Menstrual Cups safer than a tampon as there is a lower risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) or bacterial infections when you use a Luv Ur Body menstrual cup because they do not absorb. TSS is caused by many factors one of which is the absorptive capacity of tampons. As regards personal hygiene, the cups are airtight and it's "leak proof suction" provides a fit that prevents leakage, odour and dampness. We are frequently asked if the Luv Ur Body Menstrual Cup needs to be removed in order to urinate. You do not need to take a menstrual cup out when urinating because urine does not exit the body from the vaginal opening. Urine exits from a very tiny opening or a different opening called the Urethra. The Urethra is under your clitoris. The vaginal opening is for menstruation, sex and giving birth. Ensure you do not buy menstrual cups in Nigeria not approved by the 3 regulators mentioned here (NAFDAC, SON & FDA) because you could be buying China made plastic which can harm your vaginal area.
How to use a Luv Ur Body Menstrual Cup?
Follow these simple steps for inserting and removing the Luv Ur Body menstrual cup easily and comfortably.
To insert the Menstrual cup
- First wash your hands thoroughly then fold the Luv Ur Body Menstrual cup into a C or U shape, holding it firmly in that shape.
Gently insert the folded cup into your vagina, with the rounded bottom of the "U" pointing towards the anal opening, sliding it in gently, aiming horizontally towards your tailbone instead of straight up as you would insert a tampon.
Continue to gently push it in all the way until the cup has reached your cervix, then allow it to pop open inside you. There is a chance that you may feel a slight suction as it unfolds.
Check that the menstrual cup has been inserted properly by inserting your forefinger to feel that the cup rim is rounded out and open and feels similar to a balloon. If it has not popped open your forefinger will feel a dent along the rim, to correct this, the cup needs to suck in some air, so gently pull the cup out slightly and slowly turn 360 degrees for a slight adjustment, then push it back in fully. The air it sucks in during this adjustment will help it pop open fully.

To Remove the cup
- Again, wash hands thoroughly then squeeze slightly on the base of the cup. This will break the leak proof suction that was necessary to trap the fluid. The cup will release its grip once seal is broken when the base is squeezed. Do not squeeze to hard so as not to cause contents to spill out.
- Grip the base or the stem of the cup and gently pull downward and out of the vagina.
- Deposit the contents in the toilet and simply flush away.
- Rinse the cup thoroughly with warm water. Re-insert and re-use if your period is still on.
How To Sterilize/Disinfect & Store the Menstrual Cup
The best way we recommend to sterilize our cups is to simply soak the Luv Ur Body menstrual cup in 3 cups of cold water and one Milton tablet. Milton is used to sterilize baby feeding bottles and vegetables. It does not need to be rinsed off the cup. Milton is found in most stores globally because it is used for babies. As a last resort, in the absence of Milton, boil a small kettle or pot of water, after it starts to boil, put in the menstrual cup and allow it to boil for 10 mins. Take it out and let it cool. Store it away till next month in the free storage pouch it comes with. If you purchase a clear colored cup and blood stains discolor it, soak overnight in Milton to brighten it again. Blood tends to stain the clear cups because blood hemoglobin is a protein and thus a very strong dye.
Choose your size
Always choose a menstrual cup size in accordance with how heavy your flow is.
- Large Size – Heavy to very heavy flow (women who change pads/tampons every 1- 4hrs).
- Medium Size – Moderate to heavy flow or women who have high or low cervix issues during menstruation.
- Small Size – Light flow and for Teenagers.

Further defining your marketing plan can help you better leverage your marketing resources. Your marketing plan can be simple and focused or it can be complex and wide-spread. In addition to defining your target audience, your marketing plan should address four points:
We've already discussed product in some detail; now further consider how it fits into the context of your marketing. You can do this by creating a list of every product and/or service that you currently offer. For a playwright, this might be original plays (product) vs directing (service). On the same list, make up a character that embodies the attributes and habits of your perfect buyer, investor or audience for that product. Include lots of detail (What does this person look like? Where do they go? What do they do? What are their values?). This knowledge can give you a picture of the ways in which you can reach a broader consumer-base. If you can reach this fictional person, you can reach hundreds of other real individuals who may be equally as excited about your work.
In determining the price of the product, establish your monetary goals. Look closely at the costs (i.e. material, utilities, salaries, etc.) associated with the creation of your product, and then ask yourself a few questions. Does the potential revenue that you will make cover the costs (Return on Investment)? Do you want to make a profit? How do your costs compare to similar events or products within the area? Once you are able to answer these questions, you can begin to have a better idea of the appropriate price for your product.
Price can also be a powerful marketing tool in stimulating interest in attending your event or purchasing what you have to offer. Step into the shoes of your consumers as you think about pricing. In doing so, you will realize that price can be either an incentive or a barrier. Consumers are looking for value. Can they get more from what you have to offer than alternatives sources for the same types of performances, objects or works that are more accessible?
You may also want to consider the actual cost versus the perceived barriers. For example, this may involve considering the cost of a ticket to a show vs.the ticket plus needs associated with accessing the product. These can be things like travel expenses, dinner options, time spent researching the work, or available discounts.
Finally, you should consider perceptions of cost itself. A higher price is associated with higher quality. If you charge too little for your work, some important buyers, partners or investors may question the work's integrity.
Barriers are a common concern for arts and cultural organizations and can be looked at from three different perspectives.
Help reduce some of these barriers to participation by sharing pre-developed educational materials, offering discounts, providing a map to your location that includes local restaurants or businesses. Provide a list of other non-competing arts and culture events occurring in your
area at the same time. In addition, your website can be used to create a virtual atmosphere for your customers, helping to frame what their experience with you will be like. Keep high-quality pictures on your website from public events and your current work. Offer materials and information that may help your
customers understand your work and gain trust. Again, your focus should be set on providing value. In addition, you are hoping to establish a long, healthy, and sustainable relationship with your customers, clients or audiences. These are essential to marketing your work to others. Be sure that their first experience is positive!
As the artist, you must determine what options customers will have to pay for your product or service. In doing so, you must determine your capacity for offering options. For example, can you take online payments at your website? Can you handle day-to-day phone calls? Are credit card
Places accepted for purchases? Do you have an agent or business manager who facilitates these procedures? Some initial costs in building capacity in these areas may help to reduce your costs in the future (e.g. investing in a new website payment system, an additional phone line, staff, merchant account, etc.). Fully understand any contracts before you sign them and shop around before make a purchase.
It is essential to consider the accessibility of your product. The more accessible it is, the more potential you have to reach a broader audience. Try to understand the perceptual barriers that may be associated with the place(s) your product is delivered. Is it perceived as a safe area? Is there ample parking? Large or small, these barriers can affect the decisions made by a consumer.
What if your place is an online outlet? A writer, for example may put his work in a blog format to allow consumers public access to the work, driving sales. Musicians are using YouTube and Vimeo in incredibly creative ways that drive attendance to live shows. Social media is a great tool for engaging with your customers in unique ways.
Place can be seen as more than just a physical location to distribute your product, it can be a chance to socialize. Does your place support a comfortable environment? Does your audience come early or stay late? If not, why not? Is there an opportunity for further services to be provided that can increase overall revenue? Some of your patrons may have emotional connections to your location. Marketers have seen this as an opportunity to promote reserved seating or extended hours so that individuals feel as though they have a connection to the place.
It is a good idea to establish convenience. Always keep in mind alternative ways that consumers can reach your work. Look at the possible media channels and coverage, the distribution means, and the overall ease of gaining access. In doing so, you will be able to gain a much broader perspective on possible product outlets. You may consider bringing the place to the audience. Maybe the best way to reach your audience is by approaching them. Genuine accessibility means that people are enabled to view and interact with your work. More than just letting people view it, let them experience it!
Having a cohesive strategy about product, price and place is essential to using the promotional tool most efficiently. Consider whether your focus is centered around an individual or event. Develop organizational- or individual-centered focus promotions from your artistic philosophy, your history, and previous work. For event-centered focus consider specifically the materials you use to promote a single event. Examples would include your press releases, fliers, postcards, posters, magnets and advertisements.
There are many ways to utilize the media in order to promote your program. Begin by considering smaller, more local media outlets. They may be more willing to partner with you and, through a marketing exchange, provide free advertising. Some media organizations like to receive press releases; however, there are many factors that influence the news each day. Breaking news can potentially delay the printing of your information. If your press release is not featured the first time, try again. Persistance will pay off in the future if the editor continues to notice your organization and/or event. Creative press kits may catch the eye of some media outlets. Public Service Announcements are free for non-profit organizations, but have some restrictions in the length of time and amount of information that can be shared.
Direct marketing can be relitively inexpensive. It can be short and sweet, but filled with impactful information. Hand-to-hand distribution of this marketing may entice more people to consider the promotion. Social media has become a crucial way for many artists to market their work and events and is designed to keep the conversation going. Alternatively, email marketing allows you to promote straight to your target market in a relatively simple manner. Remember that you must have permission to add individuals to your email list.
Collaboration is key! Look for opportunities to strategically align yourself with another organization or event. This can reduce costs and allow you to reach a much broader and more diversified market.
Secondary market research is just another way of saying do your homework. You will learn a great deal by just reading about others in your creative field. Get to know how they attract consumers to their work, share best practices with one another and look at trends within your community for participation in arts and culture. Stay up on the major trends and changes impacting your industry or sector. Typically, the best markets to work in are growing; meaning, more and more people are buying that type of product or service or the same number of people or buying more. The tech industry, for example, is booming right now. The most dangerous markets in which to operate a business are stagnant or shrinking markets. This leads to businesses resolving to steal customers from one another rather than bringing in new audiences. Through our research, we have learned that individuals who buy from one local arts and culture business or organization are more likely to buy from others. Consider how you can form strategic alliances with other artists, without having to steal gigs or step on toes.The best way to have an understanding of your market is to get involved and grow your network.

I read through some of your past columns, and can't stand the whining. People are petty. They should be grateful that their kids are healthy, or that they have a job, or that their biggest problem is a neighbor's barking dog. With all the troubles in the world, some people just need to get over it. Am I right?
Tired of First World Problems
Dear Tired of First World Problems,
Thanks for reading my column. Let's take your question one step further and ask: Why it is that you've let the petty problems of others bother you so much?
I understand where you're coming from. Today I was on my way to do some shopping, when I heard an interview with a Syrian refugee on the radio. This man now lives in Germany. His story is heartbreaking. I felt so helpless and sad for him, and his country. Then, my judgement turned inward, as I saw myself driving a heated car on a smoothly paved road on my way to buy gifts with a valid credit card. Who am I to have this freedom and comfort, when others are suffering so? I'd been stressing about my long to-do list, while this man, separated from his home and family, with no home to return to even if the civil war ends there, pleads on national radio for comfortable Americans, like me, to just pay attention. My eyes filled with tears. My own concerns reduced, as you say, to petty.
So, you're right: Why do we let the petty things bring us down when there are more important things to concern ourselves with? Because they are happening to us. We have only our lives to live. I suppose we are all searching for meaning, and when things don't go our way, we can't help but wonder why. Bonus: we live with the illusion that we have control over others, or our circumstances. "If only my boss, husband, dog…would behave better (that is, do what I want them to do), then my life would be easier, and things would make sense." When problems arise, we dig back and blame others or ourselves for missed opportunities, bone-headed decisions, conspiracies working against us, or bad timing, etc. "If only…" starts way too many sentences.
We can easily assess another's situation, but it's much harder in our own lives. That's why trusted friends, and sometimes advice columnists, offer safe spaces to sift through the issues. The answers may seem obvious to you, and the problems petty, but not to the writer. As you perused my past columns, I hope you discovered this theme: We are each, individually, in charge of our response to circumstances. We cannot control anyone else's. So, I invite you to consider why it is that you've reacted this way to those who've written in for advice?
Maybe you've had some car moments like mine today, where the world felt like a nasty, chaotic place, and you lost your bearings. Maybe raging against conflict that carries an obvious solution is something you can control, when global strife feels so overwhelming. Maybe you've got something going on in your life that is disrupting your idea of a normal, predictable life. Or you've lost someone or something precious to you, and you cannot even bear the sun rising in the morning, for fear that the new day will bring with it reminders of what's missing.
Our petty fretting and complaining may be in defense of our inner, vulnerable selves. Lashing out protects us, in a way, and holds at bay feelings like fear or grief or loneliness. "If I can fix this problem in front of me," our inner selves say, "then maybe the world isn't spinning out of control." Maybe judging other peoples' problems, or their right to feel deeply about them, helps as well.
This column has been more "musings" than "advice." I don't have the answers, I just offer some perspective. I hope my letter writers find something worthwhile in my responses. I hope my readers discover insights that apply to their lives even if the questions don't. Your question was an important one to ask, and a tough one to answer. Thank you for writing.

The old sandbox of your youth had rules. Some of them were written and some weren't, but you knew them all the same. Throw sand, steal a toy, or push someone out-of-the-way and you knew you were in trouble. Fighting or not playing nice would also earn you a trip home.
The Innovation Sandbox needs its rules as well. The IS rules need to:
- Align activities with the company's overall goals;
- Define how much freedom there is to experiment and play;
- Make it clear how resources will be allocated; and
- Expectations for the outcomes from the Innovation Sandbox.
The rules inside — and the boundaries around — the Sandbox create a place where creativity and exploration can be engaged to build innovation throughout the organization.
The Innovation Sandbox actions must align with the overall goals in the company. The rules should be set in a way that the activities in the Sandbox work towards the overall goals within the company. This is the most difficult part of the rule setting because innovation requires freedom to act creatively and freely, and the natural tendency of the organization is to restrict action to safe activities that protect the status quo. The Sandbox needs protection from the status quo and space to act energetically on great ideas. It must also align those actions with the overall corporate goals – a difficult assignment.
Freedom to play and create is critical in order to foster breakthrough innovation. The Sandbox is a place created to encourage experimentation, play, and learning. People should feel free to try new things and act on their ideas without fear of reprisal or career consequence. Freedom does not mean anarchy or a lack of accountability. It means the ability to act aggressively and creatively within the guidelines set out in the rules. The rules lay out the way individuals interact and how individuals and teams will be held accountable.
Defining the boundaries allocated the overall resources available for the innovation effort. Just like rules dictated how the toys would be shared in your old sandbox, rules in the Innovation Sandbox dictate how resources will be allocated between the individual efforts. The allocation should not rely on traditional committees and stage gate processes, but rather organic processes that reward projects with energetic and active participants. When set up correctly, the process rewards projects making the best progress and attracting the most followers: Projects with the most momentum and the best chance of success.
Finally, the outcomes expected from the Innovation Sandbox should be clear to everyone involved. It will be extremely difficult to manage those outcomes on a project-by-project basis, but the entire project portfolio can and should be reviewed periodically for progress against expectations. The reviews should look at systemic issues that block innovation and progress. The natural tendency is to look at individual projects and decide which ones will live and which ones will die. Instead, it is much more important and appropriate to build and reinforce a system that fosters creativity and innovation.
Clear rules for activity in the Innovation Sandbox set up an active and vital system for continuous innovation. Engaging the organization around the Innovation sandbox will make a huge impact.

Why Do Companies Split Their Stock? Stock Split Good?
A company splits their stock because administration has a theoretical ideal price range for the firm's stock. If the market price of the stock rises higher than the ideal price range, a stock split brings the market price back in line. Also, a decision to split a company's stock makes the stock more attractive to the public for investing particular stock (small price). Over a period of time, "stock splits" may be good for investors. And yet, there are no assurances. Many investors think that there will be immediate profits from a stock splits but usually this assumption is false.

Gender Identity Is Tailor-Made at the Suited Premiere
How does a tailored suit go beyond an expression of style to inspire comfort in one?s own skin? The creative team behind Suited, and Bindle & Keep?s tailors and clients discuss.
Jason Benjamin, Director
How did you first learn about Bindle & Keep?
Jason Benjamin: I read a story in The New York Times about the work Bindle & Keep was doing, and it was very compelling. The idea of bringing a suit to someone who had never had clothing that fit before and who had been struggling with their outward gender presentation sounded kind of magical. It was that moment that attracted me to the story and made me feel like there was a really cinematic element to it.
What prompted you to go with an observational presentation, rather than a question and answer format?
Jason Benjamin: I appreciate and respond to that style of documentary-making more than any other. So whenever possible, I try to have a light touch in terms of my involvement. I spent as much time as I possibly could with the subjects without the camera rolling. I think that went a long way in getting them to trust me.
Daniel Friedman and Rae Tutera, Tailors
How do you go about establishing a level of trust where people will speak openly about their identity struggles?
Daniel Friedman: It?s different for everybody. We ask, ?Where do you get your clothes?? ?Where do you shop?? ?How do you like to wear your clothes?? ?How do you feel about your bum?? Sometimes the questions are pointed. But all of our clients understand we want to put them in the strongest, best suit they could possibly wear. By understanding what our goal is, it makes it a much more safe place to open up about your body.
Rae Tutera: Once we got a reputation for that, a lot of the legwork was already done. People knew that they could trust us.
Melissa ?Mel? Plaut and Everett Arthur, Clients
How did you become involved in the documentary?
Melissa ?Mel? Plaut: I was reluctant, but for reasons that actually are sad. Like, ?Oh, what if I participate in this thing and it messes with my job prospects?? And that?s just this Queer fear we have. In the end I said, ?I don?t see many people like me represented in popular media.? I?m very happy that transgender issues and transgender people are getting a lot more visibility and media play, but those of us who are not binary on the spectrum of trans men or trans women, I haven?t seen that. I decided: I?ll be one of the people to represent that in the popular media.
As a client, what does it mean to find clothing that fits?
Everett Arthur: Being trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming, I think it?s nice to level the playing field. I think we have a lot hurdles that cis gender people don?t really have to worry about. I?d been worried -- am I really a trans person or am I just non-binary? -- trying to figure out where I fit on the spectrum. But putting on the suit, I was like, yeah, this is actually affirming my gender identity. For me, the first time I put on the suit was the first time I saw myself and felt: This is me and I?m Everett.
What do you hope viewers take away from this documentary?
Jason Benjamin: The thing that I took away from the experience was that it?s futile to see gender as a simple binary, with male and female. But if we all see it as a spectrum, with each one of us in an individual place on the spectrum -- regardless of our sexual orientation -- that brings us all closer together as people. I really hope that parents and young people who see the film will find a way to be compassionate to others who are going through similar experiences.
Daniel Friedman: Despite what?s going on politically, I do hope that people see that our clients are real people. They?re human beings with human feelings, and everyone has the right to feel great about themselves. On top of that, I?d like to add that we hope that other companies in any capacity, in any field, see that this is actually a good thing to be doing.
[Producer] Jenni Konner: My fantasy is to take it wider, into schools. I think it?s a really educational but also really fun and optimistic story. It?s just full of understanding and acceptance, and that?s what we need right now.
Rae Tutera: I just hope that everyone who sees this, regardless of how they identify, but especially if they identify as Queer in any capacity, that this movie reminds everyone it?s their birthright to be themselves and to be loved unconditionally.

TAN Affiliate Marketing – Network Marketing
We would like to thank you for coming to our website in search of "TAN Affiliate Marketing" online.
For most users of cryptocurrencies it is not essential to comprehend how the procedure works in and of itself, but it's essentially vital that you comprehend that there's a process of mining to create virtual currency. Unlike currencies as we know them today where Authorities and banks can simply choose to print endless quantities (I 'm not saying they're doing so, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining program, which solves the advanced algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation.
The physical Internet backbone that carries information between the different nodes of the network is now the work of a number of companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes companies offering long distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local conduit, which finally connects in households and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through any of these ISPs, players like amount 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP runs its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private companies, 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 suppliers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for last mile-consumers and companies who need to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the info to stream without interruption, in the appropriate location at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations possesses the Internet together these companies determine how it operates, and recognized rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is happening to discover how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for instance, one needs consent from a Registrar, which has 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 problems? A working group is formed to work with the problem and the solution developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you might have someone to phone to get it fixed. If the difficulty is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in position and service level agreements, which regulate the way in which these problems are resolved.
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 upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a dedicated supporter badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet works. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that regulate how it works current built-in problems to the consumer. Blockchain technology has none of that.
You've probably seen this many times where you often distribute the good word about crypto. It's not risky? What goes on when the value failures? sofar, several POS programs gives free transformation of fiat, improving some problem, but until the volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, most people is likely to be resistant to put on any. We have to find a method to fight the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies.
TAN Affiliate Marketing – Binary MLM
Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they usually do not physically exist anywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you take a look at a unique address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there's no digital information held in it, like in precisely the same manner that a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It truly is simply a representation of value, but there is absolutely no genuine palpable form of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or immobilized or audited by the banks and the law. They do not have spending limits and withdrawal limitations imposed on them. No one but the owner of the crypto wallet can decide how their riches will be managed.
Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put in circulation. Because there's no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to create more. The mining process is what creates more of the coin. It may be useful to think of the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are exactly the same. Mining crypto coins means you'll get to keep the total rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your chances of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members will have a greater chance of solving a block, but the reward will be split between all members of the pool, based on the number of shares won.
If you're thinking of going it alone, it is worth noting that the applications configuration for solo mining can be more complicated than with a swimming pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter path. This alternative also creates a stable flow of earnings, even if each payment is small compared to completely block the benefit.
Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others have now been designed as a non-fiat currency. Put simply, its backers argue that there's real value, even through there isn't any physical representation of that value. The value climbs due to computing power, that is, is the lone way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a period of time that is worth an ever diminishing amount of money or some kind of benefit so that you can ensure the deficit. Each coin includes many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. Once created, each Bitcoin (or 100 million satoshis) exists as a cipher, which is part of the block that gave rise to it. The blockchain is where the public record of all transactions dwells.
The fact that there's little evidence of any increase in using virtual money as a currency may be the reason there are minimal attempts to regulate it. The reason for this could be simply that the market is too small for cryptocurrencies to warrant any regulatory attempt. It's also possible the regulators simply do not comprehend the technology and its implications, awaiting any developments to act.
When searching for TAN affiliate marketing, there are many things to consider.

Only a fraction of bitcoins issued so far can be found on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, meaning the price a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Lots of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the amount of bitcoins that are really circulating in the exchanges. Moreover, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Hence, even the most diligent buyer could not buy all present bitcoins. This situation isn't to suggest that markets aren't exposed to price manipulation, yet there's no need for substantial amounts of cash to move market prices up or down. The smallest events on the planet economy can change the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive.
Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in an identical way, but in addition they get involved in more complex smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a trade to be supported by the network, but where a certain number of a defined group of people consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This allows innovative dispute mediation services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their cash. Unlike cash and other payment methods, the blockchain always leaves public evidence that the transaction happened. This can be potentially used in a appeal against businesses with deceptive practices.
Bitcoin is the main cryptocurrency of the web: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, international, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there's no governments, banks, or another regulatory agencies. As such, it is more resistant to wild 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 reached by simply being clever, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't place your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be secured by removing any identity of possession from the wallets and therefore keeping you anonymous.
This mining activity validates and records the trades across the entire network. So if you're trying to do something illegal, it is not recommended because everything is recorded in the public register for the remainder of the world to see forever.
Since one of the earliest forms of making money is in money lending, it is a fact you could do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending sites currently focus on Bitcoin, some of those sites you are needed fill in a captcha after a specific time frame and are rewarded with a small amount of coins for visiting them. It is possible to see the www.cryptofunds.co site to find some lists of of these sites to tap into the currency of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have very different dynamics. New ones are always popping up which means they don't have lots of market data and historical view for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have quite inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to develop an acceptable investment strategy.

Hybrid Network Marketing – TAN Affiliate Marketing
You are able to run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. When you commence to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you acquire the uptrend will never drop! Always will go down! You will discover that incremental increases are more reliable and profitable (most times)
It's certainly possible, but it must have the ability to understand opportunities irrespective of marketplace behaviour. The market moves in relation to price BTC … So even supposing it's in a BTC tendency down can make money by purchasing the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you'll be okay.
as Ethereum. The platform enables creation of a contract without having to go through a third party. The third parties involved can include bank, credit card Business,
It should be hard to get more small increases (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the best way to read these Candlestick charts! And I found these two rules to be accurate: having modest increases is more rewarding than trying to resist up to the peak. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it's better to look at books than wait for order confirmation when you believe the cost is going down. Second, there's more unpredictability and compensation in monies that never have made it to the profitability of sites like Coinwarz.

In the case of the fully functioning cryptocurrency, it might also be dealt being a product. Advocates of cryptocurrencies proclaim that this sort of digital cash is not manipulated by a key banking system and it is not thus susceptible to the vagaries of its inflation. Since there are always a limited number of products, this coin's worth is based on market forces, letting owners to trade over cryptocurrency transactions.

Kempinski The Spa take you on a journey of the European cycle
BANGKOK, July 2016 - A sensational new spa treatment is designed to take you on a journey of the European cycle of four specific seasons. This new treatment, available exclusively at Kempinski The Spa, is created and inspired by the yearly cycle of seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Each cycle within the treatment is created to synchronise with the guest's mental and physical state. Importantly, the Spa's therapists assess the precise requirements of each guest before selecting the appropriate treatment.
"Our therapists are trained to a very high degree by an experienced trainer and consultant from a world-class spa. They are extremely skilful and able to customise each treatment to ensure that guests receive the maximum benefit. In many cases the end result far exceeds the guest's expectations," says Supreeya Samrej, Manager at Kempinski TheSpa.
The Spring treatment activates the lymphatic system by using a dry brush with the massage. This treatment helps blood circulation and makes you feel fresh and enthusiastic.
The Summer treatment is suitable for guests feeling stressed and suffering from sunburn. The massage with warm hands and a cold stone releases the mind and leads to a deeper sense of relaxation.
The Autumn treatment suits those suffering from stress, exhaustion and insomnia and creates flexibility of the joints by using a slower paced massage with firm pressure and special focus upon the head, neck and shoulders.
The Winter treatment is designed in particular for sports men and sportswomen with tension, body aches and pains, and a lack of energy during the working day. The heavier pressure massage warms up the body to release tension in the muscles and limbs, improving blood circulation and boosting energy levels. The treatment includes a foot wrap for approximately 30 minutes.
Kempinski The Spa offers a new 'Asian Inspiration' treatment package with three distinct rituals. Each ritual comprises a combination of treatments lasting for a total of two hours. Each ritual is based upon traditional Asian therapies that use pure spa products available exclusively at Kempinski The Spa. The three rituals are 'Siam Coconut', 'Local Famous' and 'Asian Immersion'.
'Siam Coconut' entails a 90-minute coconut hot oil massage and a choice of either a 30-minute body wrap or body scrub (THB 5,690++). 'Local Famous' begins with a 60-minute Asian herbal hot oil massage with a choice of a 30-minute back or foot hot stone massage and a 30-minute organic mini facial treatment (THB 5,900++). 'Asian Immersion' features a 60-minute Kempinski The Spa (exclusive edition) hot oil massage with a 30-minute Kempinski The Spa Pink Himalayan salt scrub and a 30-minute organic mini facial treatment (THB 6,590++).

Spitfires 3
The pilots who flew in the Battle of Britain had mainly come from the pre-war R.A.F. in what had become known as "The best flying club in the world" and had performed magnificently, relearning many lessons. They had started out basing their formations on 'vic' of three aircraft but this had proved to be too rigid and although it looked good we had forgotten the hard lessons of the first world war.
That very great man and fine airfighter, the German Oswald Boelcke had built his formations on the pair. Two aircraft with the second looking after his section leader had been well proved and had been carried forward during the Spanish Civil War by the German volunteers in Boelcke's "finger formation". So called because it was comprised of two pairs flying in the positions of the finger tips of an extended hand.. The leader flew with his No2 in echelon on one wing with the sub section leader (No3) on his other wing and No 4 on his other wing. In action the two pairs would normally split up and No 3 would become leader of his subsection. (Take another look at your hand.) A good No2 was a flight leader's most important acquisition and could well be delayed in becoming a leader because he was so much in demand.
In mid 1943 war in the air for the
fighter pilot was going through considerable change as it became necessary
to escort day bombers at greater ranges, far greater than the Spitfire's
range. The Mustang was coming into it's own. It was designed to
specifications of the R.A.F. to be manufactured in great numbers in U.S.A
but had proved to have poor performance at high altitude. When an Alison
built Merlin was installed it proved to be a far better fighter and had
(with two wing tanks plus a belly tank, all of which could be jettisoned)
the advantage of great range so it proved perfect for escorting Flying
The cost of all this training must have been astronomical so, if we were unfortunate enough to find ourselves down in enemy territory we must use every effort to get back and with this in mind we were to be taken out in a blacked out van and dropped, one by one with nothing but a coin to phone for help. (Not advised!) More of this later.

We were encouraged to get into dog fighting and 'tail chasing' among ourselves, not that we needed much urging to do so. Blacking out was one of the curses of 'pulling too much 'G'. The mammalian eye is kept spherical by the pressure of the fluid within so when subjected to 'G' the retina is the first organ to suffer so, there is first a 'greyout' and tunneling of vision and finally a complete blackout of all vision. There is little one can do about it. A glance at the rudderbar of a fighter aircraft will show that there are two pairs of stirrups. The bottom set are used in normal flying and the top pair when "pulling 'G'." This draws the knees up towards the chest and in some small way prevents blood from pooling in the legs. High 'G' is not the most pleasant thing in human experience. Naturally everything becomes more heavy, whatever spare flesh there is on a healthy young body obeys the new gravity, cheeks sag away from the eye sockets and keeping the jaw closed becomes more of an effort. It is a good idea to keep the right hand firmly on the control column and the left hand on the throttle etc: It is not that an arm weighs five times as much but it does mean that it feels unfamiliar and one tends to over compensate.
It was in one of these 'dog fights' that I learned not to be too clever. My "opponent" was on the opposite side of the tail chasing circle when I decided to go into a near vertical dive to shake him off. We were at about 35,000ft when I started to push the stick forward, just enough to stop the Merlin cutting out. The speed built up very fast but I did not trim the nose down (remember that the Spit has to be trimmed nose down as speed builds up.) and with the engine near override it was becoming difficult to stop the nose coming up. Finally I had to hold it forward with both hands and all my strength.......Something had to give. The control column slammed back against the seat and I blacked out instantly. I came to semi inverted and stalled. Very much shaken I made my way back to base. My "opponent" landed shortly afterwards. "What the hell happened to you?" he hissed at me. "One moment I was trying to pull a bead on you and then you just vanished". We both kept quiet about it.
I must admit that I had a good look at the wings to see if there was any sign of a droop. It is just the same at sea. The ship is usually stronger than the man.

West Surrey Racing have named an unchanged driver line-up for the 2018 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship with Colin Turkington, Rob Collard and Andrew Jordan spearheading the BMW assault.
Following on from a successful 2017 campaign that saw Team BMW clinch the Teams' titles and WSR/BMW the Manufacturers', Dick Bennetts' squad remains as it was for a second successive season – with all eyes firmly fixed on the big prize.
Narrowly missing out on the title to Ashley Sutton, Turkington embarks on his 11th year with the Sunbury-based outfit and the double champion is excited to see what the forthcoming campaign holds for him and the team.
"I'm excited for the new season and delighted to be staying with Team BMW and WSR for another year," Turkington said. "This place feels like home to me, having raced here for 11 years already, and the environment is exactly what I need to get the best performance out of myself.
"I was bitterly disappointed to miss out on the Drivers' Championship at the season finale last year and I'll continue to put everything into winning the title this time around.
"The BMW 125i M Sport has won more titles than any other car in the past five years and the developments we've already tested for 2018 look like they're going to make us even stronger, but we know that the competition won't stand still so we're expecting a tight battle."
Enjoying his strongest year to-date in the BTCC, Collard proved to be the epitome of consistency for a majority of the season – taking 21 points finishes in-a-row.
Despite dropping out of title contention late on, the Hampshire-based racer is confident of building on his 2017 success to mount a full-scale title challenge this year.
He said: "The 2017 season was my most competitive to date in the BTCC and had I not missed the final five races, I'm certain I would have been in with a very strong chance of being champion. I'm fully recovered, have been training hard and can't wait to get back behind the wheel of the BMW for the first test of the new year.
"This will be my ninth straight season with WSR and my 11th in total. Over that time my performances have improved year-on-year and I've played a key role in several title-winning campaigns. The Drivers' Championship is my goal for 2018, and with the team continuing to evolve the car, I'm confident of fighting at the front."
Entering his second year with the team after inking a two-year deal last year, 2013 champion Jordan will front the BMW Pirtek Racing side of the garage.
Jordan made the jump from Motorbase Performance last year and went on to take a trio of victories.

Mexican football star Alan Pulido escaped by wrestling gun from kidnapper
Alan Pulido, the Mexican footballer who was kidnapped for 24 hours at the weekend, freed himself by wrestling with one of his armed captors, taking his gun and mobile phone and calling police, according to fresh accounts of his escape.
Initial reports suggested he was rescued by Mexican police but details of three calls to an emergency operator obtained by the Associated Press suggest instead that the five-foot nine-inch striker needed no help.
Pulido, who plays for the Greek champions Olympiakos, was snatched from his car by at least four armed and masked men as he returned from a party on Saturday, in the northern state of Tamaulipas.
The alarm was raised by his girlfriend, who was also in the car.
Kidnappings are rife in Mexico and Tamaulipas, which borders Texas, has a particularly bad reputation for violence fomented by powerful drug cartels.
According to the fresh account, Pulido took action after about 24 hours as a hostage, when he found himself alone with a single armed guard. He managed to trade blows with his captor, wrestling away a gun and phone.
During a first telephone call, Pulido peered out of a window and described his location, a white two-storey house with two cars parked in front.
In a second call, he described seeing police arrive. The operator told him to fire a shot from the gun so officers would know they were in the right place but Pulido said he had no bullets.
He then described the clothes - including a bright tank top - he was wearing so that he would not be shot in the confusion.
At first Ismael Quintanilla, Tamaulipas state attorney general, said that that emergency services received Pulido's call for help after midnight on Sunday due to "a careless act by his captors".
But in a later interview with Imagen Radio, Mr Quintanilla confirmed that Pulido had seized the phone from his captor.
"There was an exchange of punches between them," he said.
His club, Olympiakos, said: "Alan is safe and sound with his family. We thank everyone for their concern and prayers during the difficult moments he has lived."
And Pulido himself has since thanked everyone who prayed for him, saying on Twitter: "They helped us a lot in this terrible experience of our lives that we do not desire for anyone."
Tamaulipas is frequently the scene of kidnappings and shootings, in part due to a turf war between the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas, which split in 2010 and fought for dominance ever since.

text: What You Can See San Marcello Pistoiese Of roman origin , in the high Middle age expanded around the watch tower , which then became the bell tower of the church. The Romanesque church , altered in the 17th century , contains the remains of Saint Celestina , patron of the town and protector of the mountain , celebrated on8th September, day in which every year a big balloon , based on the original design by the Montgolfier brothers is launched . Piazza Matteotti is the main square ; it is overlocked by ancient buildings. Just outside the village you can visit the Oratory of San Rocco , built as a mark of gratitude to the Saint after the plague of 1600. From 1800 San Marcello became famous with summer tourism . Today it is the main town in the mountain and highly appreciated centre for all services. Gavinana Surrounded by chestnut woods , the old medieval nucleus is still intact . The history of the village is linked to Francesco Ferrucci , leader of the Florentine republic militia , who died on3rd August 1530 , after a bloody battle against the imperial troops. The equestrian statue in the square and the museum are dedicated to the hero. Inside the old church of Santa Maria Assunta , built in the 12th century , are preserved : the beautiful marble holy water font from the 16th century , wooden sculptures , two polychrome works in glazed terracotta by Benedetto Buglioni , from the Della Robbia school and 19th century organ by Cesare and Luigi Tronci Lizzano It was one of the most important centre in the mountain between 10th and 14th centuries. The old church, the palazzo pretorio and the Pilgrims' Hospital were destroyed by a land slide in 1814. Today the village is famous for its "Murales", decorating buildings ,painted by the artists of the Gruppo Donatello since 1985 ; they narrate mountain life. In the restored church there are precious works in glazed terracotta dated from 1500. Cutigliano It is a small medieval hamlet completely immersed in the woods of the Apennines. Built in the Longobard era , it developed after 1368 , when it became the centre of mountain magistracy. In remembrance of that period the Palazzo pretorio remains . On its facade 95 stone and terracotta coat of arms marked the passage of the captains between 1400 and 1700 and a large Medici coat of arms is situated above the entrance portal. In the churches of Madonna Della piazza and San Bartolomeo lots of works from 1500 are preserved. Piteglio In the 11th and 12th centuries , it was a fortified castle situated along the road that linked Pistoia to Garfagnana .The are two churches in the village : the church of Santissima Annunziata , founded by Matilde di Canossa and dated 1040 and the church of Santa Maria Assunta where the relic of the holy milk of the Madonna , brought back from the Holy Land by a crusader , is kept in the chapel of Madonna del Latte. Popiglio It was an old feudal property around the year 1000. For its strategic position on the border of Lucca, it was often the site of battles and destroyed many times.The Romanesque church of Santa Maria Assunta , built in 1271 , is one of the most important holy monuments of Pistoia mountain. Ponte Sospeso Few kilometres after San Marcello , towards Abetone , in the village of Le Ferriere , is situated the Hanging bridge , a long walkway linking the two banks of the lima river. It was built in 1922 for the workers of the metallurgical company of Mammiano. It is 40 metres in the highest point and 220 metres long. It is one of the longest pedestrian bridges in the world and the longest in Europe. Ponte di Castruccio It is situated in Lolle, near Piteglio. It was built in the Middle age by Castruccio Castracani and marked the border between Pistoia and Lucca. Erected by one only vault, using river pebbles, on its left side, two buildings remember the two ancient custom offices where once the merchants paid duty. The Observatory Built in 1991, the astronomical observatory is situated in Pian De' Termini, above Gavinana, on a plateau at an altitude of about 950 metres , in an excellent position for the observation of celestial phenomena. It has two semi spherical rotating domes with diameter of 5 metres , a 60 centimetres telescope and a well equipped hall for meetings and conferences. www.gamp-pt.net SMI Refuges It is a striking underground itinerary the one that curves around for two kilometers under the headquarters of the ex Smi Campotizzoro. It was built here in the 1930's thanks to the imposing military architectural project commissioned by the Orlandos, a complex system of anti-airplane galleries built into the live rock twenty meters of depth to protect the population of the industrial city from bombardments and chemical attacks. Today, finally, the site has become accessible to the public. www.irsapt.it The Ecomuseum of Pistoia Mountain Opened in 1990 , it is made up of six open-air trails, which make it possible to discover the Pistoiese mountains through the marks that the relationship between man and the environment has left on the area over the centuries. Water and woodlands have supplied the row material and energy used by the local inhabitans to create simple and ingenious manufacturing plants in the form of iron works , ice works and mills. These structures have been restored and given new functions and have been turned into this experimental and innovative kind of museum , which has been emulated by many other areas in Italy. www.provincia.pistoia.it/ecomuseo The Recovered Wood Near the village of Mammiano basso, along the road towards Piteglio, you can admire a real natural spectacle. The "Bosco Ritrovato" is a beautiful botanic garden where you can walk between colours and flavours of vegetation. You can try to recognize most of the species, to search connections among plants and history, tradition, health, everyday life and animals. Dedicated to all people who love plants, flowers and nature with its silences.

Five of the best: Red Bull stunts• http://www.gizmag.com, By Loz Blain
For every logo you see on a can of energy drink, there must be another five plastered on screaming Formula One cars, upside-down motorcycles, stunt planes and skateboards. Red Bull almost single-handedly created the energy drink market we know today, piggybacking on the rise of extreme sports to get its brand out there ... and delivering some truly memorable marketing stunts along the way. Here's our five favorites.
Twenty-six years ago, Austrian marketing executive Dietrich Mateschitz stumbled upon a syrupy tonic drink in Thailand that was used by locals as a pick-me-up. Despite being told that nobody liked the flavor, the logo, or the "Red Bull" brand he slapped on it, he ran with it, turning it into a massive global success and more or less creating the bustling energy drinks market we know today.
Today, Forbes estimates Mateschitz's net worth at around US$9 billion dollars – and the Red Bull logo is now absolutely ubiquitous, splashed across just about everything fast, exciting or dangerous.

Tips For Keeping Your Restrooms Smelling Clean and Fresh
A clean restroom is a portrayal of a business's value in cleanliness and safety for their customers, visitors, and employees. Keeping a restroom clean is not as simple as it seems. Organizing products and wiping off grime may present a spotless view for visitors, however, restrooms require further maintenance.
This is due to the lingering smells that the restroom emits. Restrooms tend to produce a wide array of scents which may disgust anyone entering them. Customers, employees, and visitors who smell an unpleasant odor in the restroom will associate this area as unclean and avoid using your facilities.
The key to restroom smell removal is through regular maintenance. Here are some tips for keeping your business's restroom smelling fresh and sanitary:
- Avoid wet puddles – By using floor mats in the restroom, and urinal mats in the urinals, water and other liquids will be absorbed. This will stop water from being carried around the restroom, decreasing extra odor. This will also prevent unnecessary slip and fall incidents from occurring.
- Dust Mops/Wet Mops – Floor mats will only go as far as preventing excess spillage. What happens when you already have water and waste on the floors? Dust mops and wet mops will clean up the floors of the restrooms and are recommended to be used every day. Cleaning the floors regularly will prevent excess buildup of spillage and prevent odor from forming.
- Air fresheners – Spraying quality air fresheners will benefit the overall smell. There are many different kinds to choose from. Some air fresheners eliminate odor entirely, some mask the odor with a pleasant scent, and some are hybrids of the two. Make sure to go over these type of product with your facility products provider.
NDC Mats provides high-quality floor mats and facility products to all types of businesses. Contact us today and you will speak with one of our representatives who can go over all types of products we offer for restroom maintenance. Call us now at 800-238-2387.
