This topic contains 0 replies, has 1 voice, and was last updated by Robinson 1 year, 10 months ago.
<br/>Drew Smyly opened his occupation as a Seattle Mariner with 2 scoreless innings within just which he did not provide up a strike, going for walks a single and placing out 2, nonetheless his short article-video game feed-back have been reserved for heaping praise upon catcher Mike Zunino. As 710 Brent Stecker experiments, Smyly gushed: "He best https://www.marinersmlbshop.com/Mike_Zunino_Jersey-34. . .he particularly can make consequently innumerable pitches appearance together with strikes. He very good with acquiring. It was eye-opening toward me the initially year I threw toward him how nicely he was in a position in direction of get and crank out balls overall look such as strikes. That substantial in opposition to a pitching perspective."Wee all regarded for some season that Zunino is exclusive defensively, nevertheless it enjoyment toward pay attention a contemporary person within the enterprise raving regarding him, which include taking in a household visitor who is familiar with specifically what your Eames chair is and reminds oneself that hey, yourself basically incorporate anything Very unbelievable striking out inside your entrance space. Smyly didn want a large amount of assist against his battery-pal inside the initial inning, placing out Tyler Naquin upon a few pitches prior to starting to be to start with pitch outs (groundout and flyout) with his future 2 batters. He adopted that inside of the moment as a result of putting out Edwin Encarnacion upon 3 pitches prior to going for walks Yan Gomes upon 4 immediately pitches. Zunino was in a position towards choose off Gomes seeking in the direction of steal (?) even though, and with a flyout in opposition to Bradley Zimmer, as well initially-pitch swinging, the inning arrived in direction of a finish. As a result definitely Smyly is made up of been sitting down upon this praise for some year, considering that Zunino experienced extremely small in direction of do with his functionality nowadays. Supplied they consist of expended these a brief range of period collectively, what could possibly explain to Smyly excited study?On the lookout at catchers Smyly consists of labored with in just the last may well offer a clue https://www.marinersmlbshop.com/Jean_Segura_Jersey-12. Within 2016, Curt Casali stuck the the greater part of Smyly starts off. Casali is ranked as a in addition framer via StatCorner, even forward of Mike Zunino, though Zunino is a very little greater at starting to be pitches exterior the zone referred to as a hit. On the other hand, since the Rayscircumstance at catcher was inside flux remaining 12 months, Smyly wound up throwing towards 4 alternative catchers—Casali, Bobby Wilson (who moreover graded out specifically a number of ticks even worse than Zunino for framing), Hank Conger (who graded in just the backside 3rd), and Luke Maile, who is a promising defensive opportunity yet stuck merely 14 innings remaining calendar year. The catching condition wasn any clearer in just Tampa Bay in just 2015, with Casali all over again becoming the lion percentage of innings, adopted by way of Wilson, Conger, and Maile. Casali and his 30% K price include put in a large amount of season bouncing concerning the majors and AAA https://www.marinersmlbshop.com/Nelson_Cruz_Jersey-15, Sadly, which can make Tampa Bay demand of Jesús Sucre a minimal much more easy to understand. Consequently it not such as Smyly was throwing towards bad receivers in just Tampa Bay, still he totally wasn throwing in the direction of everyone with an iron grip upon the beginning task. As everyone who is made up of towards perform carefully with other All those will explain to by yourself Ariel Miranda Jersey, eating qualified co-staff members on whom your self can rely alleviates a monumental volume of aggravation. It tough plenty of in direction of do your personal activity devoid of stressing around another person else electrical power in direction of do theirs. Pitchers are likely towards be regulate freaks; with any luck ,, knowledge that he can count upon Zunino towards produce the strikes search such as strikes and the balls towards in addition feel which includes strikes will guidance Smyly attention upon the activity at hand. And for a participant who is made up of struggled as mightily as Zunino, it often good towards be reminded of what your self can do very well. As Edgar claims, "everyone desires another person in the direction of convey to them they are superior.It early but, still the Smyly-Zunino battery seems to be including the commencing of a interesting friendship Shawn O'malley Jersey.

Someone once said that life is like a good novel – You don't want it to end, but to be any good it does need to have an ending.
For me, one of the greatest glories of nature is the cycle of birth, life, death and rebirth - on all its scales, from the millions of years it takes for mountains to rise up and be worn down, then rise again, to the seasons of the year and the life-cycle of a fruit fly. I want to be part of that great cycle. Not to be part of it renders life almost meaningless.
But for the fact of death, none of us would be here now. If some amphibious creature that crawled out of the primeval ocean had become immortal, evolution would have stopped at that point and there would be no human race. So, I am profoundly grateful to death for my existence, my life.
When I was in my 70s it was discovered that I had prostate cancer in a very advanced stage, which meant It had almost certainly spread to vital organs. You could never be sure, the consultant said, but possibly I had only two months to live. The news didn't seem all that terrible to me. What I was sorriest about was that I couldn't spend longer with the people I loved. But I really could not complain. I'd had a good life. My wife, who was a nurse and who has seen many people die, tells me that given a choice between dying too soon or too late, too soon is by far the better option.
A few months before receiving this diagnosis I had said to a friend: 'Whatever happens to me from now on, however awful or disastrous, I will still be one of the luckiest 1% of the world's population.' I had in mind the starving millions, the homeless, the victims of war and violence and those who never got a chance in life to fulfil their potential.
So, as I say, I had no complaints. It is easier to let go, I think, when matters are resolved, when you have done most of the things you want to do and, above all, when you have found a path to gratitude and forgiveness.

The Italia Gagliano is a Rally Car in MotorStorm and MotorStorm: Pacific Rift. Unlike others of its class, the Gagliano is well-suited to rough terrain.
The Italia Gagliano is based on a 1992 Lancia Delta HF Integrale Rally Car.
- In the original MotorStorm, there is a livery for the Gagliano that neither the player nor the AI can obtain; its only appearance is on loading screens for various Rally Car races throughout the game. The livery consist of a white body and a yellow vinyl with black edges over the front and Six7even on the side.
- In Motorstorm, on the track The Grizzly, there is a special livery that looks a lot like the army livery used on the Atlas Jackhammer. Strangely, this livery is not used by the player or any of the AI opponents and is not seen in any other title.
- The Gagliano handles very well in rough terrain when compared to others in its class, it also doesn't slide very much, making it ideal for taking routes that other Rally Cars wouldn't without consequences.
- "Gagliano" is a common prefix for the names of Italian towns.
- The Gagliano is available to download for MotorStorm RC for the price of £0.40/€0.49/$0.49. It is marketed as "Veteran Rally Car".
- In Pacific Rift; The Gagliano, along with the Lunar-Tec Weevil and the Patriot Blackfoot, has a unique engine sound different from others in its class.
- In Pacific Rift, you unlock this vehicle once you reach Rank 6.
- The RSR Livery that appears in the original MotorStorm may be based off the famous Martini Racing livery used on the Lancia Delta Intergrale in the World Rally Championship, as it uses similar colours and stripe patterns. This is likely a deliberate reference by the developers.
- It is one of the default Rally Cars in the original MotorStorm, alongside the Patriot Surger.
- In Pacific Rift, Ali Stoneground (green/grey "DP" livery), Henry T. Pops (red/white "CIOLEK" livery) and Anneleisa Moosbrugger (white/red/blue livery) are the AI Characters seen driving this vehicle.

Q: I just started exercising again after a few years of very minimal physical activities. I do take BP medications and I have managed to bring it down to between 110/62 all the way to 120/70. Over the weekend, I walked, jogged, and did some aerobics for over 75 minutes. As I was cooling down, I decided to check my BP/pulse and noticed it was down to 93/70 with a pulse of 113. Should I be overly concerned by these numbers?
A: You should discuss this further with your doctor. Without knowing your baseline pressure, how soon after you stopped exercising you measured your pressure, and medications you take, it is hard to know what your readings mean. In people without heart disease, systolic pressure returns to baseline levels (or a little below baseline) fairly quickly after exercise.

How To Begin Editing A Wikipedia Page
GetYourWiki says that anybody can edit a Wikipedia page. You do not even need to register and create an account on Wikipedia to edit and make a Wikipedia business page. However there are some exceptions to the latter case. For protected pages, you need to submit an edit request first. An editor in charge of the protected article article will contact you and let you approve if the edit request has been approved or denied.
To begin editing an article you must first find the article that you wish to edit. Once you have found the article, find the edit tab on the page and click on it. The edit tab is usually found on the top of the page, but it can also be found at the bottom of the article page in some cases. Click on it to begin editing. For protected articles there will be a view source tab instead of an edit tab. Click on the view source tab to request an edit from the editor in charge of that article.
The Two Wikipedia Editing Formats
Once you are ready to begin editing your article of choice, you must choose between two editing formats. The two editing formats available on wikipedia are wikitext and the visual editor. Wikitext focuses primarily on the text and HTML code. If you are familiar with HTML code and have edited content online before then you can dive straight into the wikitext editing mode. In Wikitext mode you can add hyperlinks, columns, citations and special characters using HTML code. If you are not familiar with HTML code that Wikipedia uses, you can easily find the symbols for adding things such as hyperlinks, bold text, citations and more on Wikipedia. The visual editor is available only to registered users. It allows you to edit an article while seeing how it will actually be displayed. It will also display photos, tables, links and special characters that will not be visible in the wikitext mode.
Completing Your Edit
After you have selected an edit format, it is time to make your actual edit. It can be a minor edit that fixes a grammatical error or a misspelling of a name. Or it can be a major edit that changes the content of the page significantly. It is very important that if you plan on making a major edit that you have sources to cite. Otherwise, your edit may be rejected or deleted because it lacks factual sources. Once you have completed your edit and added sources if you made a major change, you must write an edit summary. This is required. The edit summary briefly summarizes what changes you have made to the article. Once you have completed your edit summary you can view your changes and then submit your changes.
A Few Tips For Editing A Wikipedia Article
When making edits keep in mind that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Remember to maintain a third person point of view, that is unbiased and that your information is based on fact. If you are adding or changing significant content in an article you must have sources and cite them. Otherwise your edits will not be accepted and deleted. Lastly, don't be afraid to make minor edits in spelling, grammar and that have wrong dates. These edits will only make Wikipedia more accurate and reliable, no matter how trivial the edit may seem.

Instagram Is Freaking Out Over This New Too Faced Palette
Makeup junkies everywhere lost their minds earlier this week when Too Faced founder Jerrod Blandino shared a photo of the brand's upcoming fall 2016 palette. Totally worthy of its name, the Totally Cute palette is giving us serious nostalgia thanks to the stickers it will come with. While it's not an iteration of the brand's previously popular chocolate- or peach-scented palettes, it still has an element of playfulness we've come to expect and love from the brand.
The neutral-to-bold assortment of shades looks epic, but we are utterly obsessed with the stickers included to jazz up the pink case. Makeup and stickers are MFEO (made for each other)—as Jerrod would probably say—and we're being transported back to our school days when sticker collecting was all the rage. We can't wait to customize our very own Too Faced palette: There is even a sticker of Jerrod himself, Too Faced mascot Clover, and a set of eyes called Envy that we believe is a nod to the brand's original logo. The best part is that this is just one of the amazing products in the brand's colorful fall lineup.
Come June 15, the palette, along with four other fab new products, will be available for purchase. That's right around the corner, so mark your calendars; before you know it, this collection will be sold out. In the meantime, keep scrolling to browse the entire lineup coming your way very, very soon.
Which product from the collection are you most excited about purchasing? Tell us in the comments!

Part One
Come listen a while, you gentlefolk alle, That stand this bower within, A tale of noble Rhiban the Hud, I purpose now to begin.
Young Rhiban was a princeling fayre, And a gladsome heart had he. Delight took he in games and tricks, And guiling his fair ladye.
A bonny fine maide of noble degree, Mérian calléd by name, This beauty soote was praised of alle men For she was a gallant dame.
Rhiban stole through the greenwoode one night To kiss his dear Mérian late. But she boxed his head till his nose it turn'd red And then order'd him home full straight.
Though Rhiban indeed speeded home fayrlie hrathe, That night he did not see his bed. For in flames of fire from the rooftops' eaves, He saw all his kinsmen lay dead.
Ay, the sheriff's low men that night visited there, When the household was slumbering deepe. And from room to room they had quietly crept And murtheréd them all in their sleepe.
Rhiban cried out "wey-la-wey la-wey!" But those fiends still lingered close by. So into the greenwoode he quickly slipt, For they had soon heard his cry.
Rhiban gave the hunters goode sport, Full lange, a swift chase he led. But a spearman threw his shot full well And he fell as one that is dead.
Tuck shook the dust of Caer Wintan off his feet and prepared for the long walk back to the forest. It was fine, warm day and all too soon the friar was sweltering in his heavy robe. He paused now and then to wipe the sweat from his face, falling further and further behind his travelling companions. 'These legs of mine are sturdy stumps,' he sighed to himself, 'but fast they ent.'
He had just stopped to catch his breath a little when, on sudden impulse, he spun around quickly and caught a glimpse of movement on the road behind – a blur in the shimmering distance, and then gone. So quick he might have imagined it. Only, it was not the first time since leaving the Royal Lodge that Tuck had entertained the queer feeling that someone or something was following them. He had it again now, and decided to alert the others and let them make of it what they would.
Squinting into the distance, he saw Bran far ahead of the Grellon, striding steadily, shoulders hunched against the sun and the gross injustice so lately suffered at the hands of the king in whom he had trusted. The main body of travellers, unable to keep up with their lord, was becoming an ever-lengthening line as heat and distance mounted. They trudged along in small clumps of two or three, heads down, talking in low, sombre voices. How like sheep, thought Tuck, following their impetuous and headstrong shepherd.
A more melancholy man might himself have succumbed to the oppressive gloom hanging low over the Cymry, dragging at their feet, pressing their spirits low. Though summer still blazed in meadow, field, and flower, it seemed to Tuck that they all walked in winter's drear and dismal shadows. Rhi Bran and his Grellon had marched into Caer Wintan full of hope – they had come singing, had they not? – eager to stand before King William to receive the judgement and reward that had been promised in Rouen all those months ago. Now, here they were, slinking back to the greenwood in doleful silence, mourning the bright hope that had been crushed and lost.
No, not lost. They would never let it out of their grasp, not for an instant. It had been stolen – snatched away by the same hand that had offered it in the first place: the grasping, deceitful hand of a most perfidious king.
Tuck felt no less wounded than the next man, but when he considered how Bran and the others had risked their lives to bring Red William word of the conspiracy against him, it fair made his priestly blood boil. The king had promised justice. The Grellon every right to expect that Elfael's lawful king would be restored. Instead, William had merely banished Baron de Braose and his milksop nephew Count Falkes, sending them back to France to live in luxury on the baron's extensive estates. Elfael, that small bone of contention, had instead become property of the crown and placed under the protection of Abbot Hugo and Sheriff de Glanville. Well, that was putting wolves in charge of the fold, was it not?
Where was the justice? A throne for a throne, Bran had declared that day in Rouen. William's had been saved – at considerable cost and risk to the Cymry – but where was Bran's throne?
S'truth, thought Tuck, wait upon a Norman to do the right thing and you'll be waiting until your hair grows white and your teeth fall out.
'How long, O Lord? How long must your servants suffer?' he muttered. 'And, Lord, does it have to be so blasted hot?'
He paused to wipe the sweat from his face. Running a hand over his round Saxon head, he felt the sun's fiery heat on the bare spot of his tonsure; sweat ran in rivulets down the sides of his neck and dripped from his jowls. Drawing a deep breath, he tightened his belt, hitched up the skirts of his robe, and started off again with quickened steps. Soon his shoes were slapping up the dust around his ankles and he began to overtake the rearmost members of the group: thirty souls in all, women and children included, for Bran had determined that his entire forest clan – save for those left behind to guard the settlement and a few others for whom the long journey on foot would have been far too arduous – should be seen by the king to share in the glad day.
The friar picked up his pace and soon drew even with Siarles: slim as a willow wand, but hard and knotty as an old hickory root. The forester walked with his eyes downcast, chin outthrust, his mouth a tight, grim line. Every line of him bristled with fury like a riled porcupine. Tuck knew to leave well enough alone and hurried on without speaking.
Next, he passed Will Scatlocke – or Scarlet, as he preferred. The craggy forester limped along slightly as he carried his newly-acquired daughter, Nia. Against every expectation, Will had endured a spear wound, the abbot's prison and the threat of the sheriff's rope . . . and survived. His pretty dark-eyed wife, Noín, walked resolutely beside him. The pair had made a good match and it tore at his heart that the newly-married couple should have to endure a dark hovel in the forest when the entire realm begged for just such a family to settle and sink solid roots deep into the land – another small outrage to be added to the ever-growing mountain of injustices weighing on Elfael.
A few more steps brought him up even with Odo, the Norman monk who had befriended Will Scarlet in prison. At Scarlet's bidding, the young scribe had abandoned Abbot Hugo to join them. He walked with his head down, his whole body drooping – whether with heat or the awful realization of what he had done, Tuck could not tell.
A few steps more and he came up even with Iwan – the great, hulking warrior would crawl on hands and knees through fire for his lord. It was from Iwan that the friar had received his current christening when the effort of wrapping his untrained tongue around the simple Saxon name Aethelfrith proved beyond him. 'Fat little bag of vittles that he is, I will call him Tuck,' the champion had said. 'Friar Tuck to you, boyo,' the priest had responded, and the name had stuck. God bless you, Little John, thought Tuck, and keep your arm strong, and your heart stronger.
Next to Iwan strode Mérian, just as fierce in her devotion to Bran as the champion beside her. Oh, but shrewd with it; she was smarter than the others and more cunning – which always came as something of a shock to anyone who did not know better, because one rarely expected it from a lady so fair of face and form. But the impression of innocence beguiled. In the time Tuck had come to know her, she had shown herself to be every inch as canny and capable as any monarch who ever claimed an English crown.
Mérian held lightly to the bridle strap of the horse that carried their Wise Hudolion who was, so far as Tuck could tell, surely the last Banfáith of Britian: Angharad, ancient and ageless. There was no telling how old she was, yet, despite her age, whatever it might be, she sat her saddle smartly and with the ease of a practiced rider. Her quick dark eyes were trained on the road ahead, but Tuck could tell that her sight was turned inward, her mind wrapped in a veil of deepest thought. Her wrinkled face might have been carved of dark Welsh slate for all it revealed of her contemplations.
Mérian glanced around as the priest passed, and called out, but the friar had Bran in his eye and he hurried on until he was within hailing distance. 'My lord, wait!' he shouted. 'I must speak to you!'
Bran gave no sign that he had heard. He strode on, eyes fixed on the road and distance ahead.
'For the love of Jesu, Bran. Wait for me!'
Bran took two more steps and then halted abruptly. He straightened and turned, his face a smouldering scowl, dark eyes darker still under lowered brows. His shock of black hair seemed to rise in feathered spikes.
'Thank the Good Lord,' gasped the friar, scrambling up the dry, rutted track. 'I thought I'd never catch you. We . . . there is something . . . .' He gulped down air, wiped his face and shook the sweat from his hand into the dust of the road.
'Well?' demanded Bran impatiently.
'I think we must get off this road,' Tuck said, dabbing at his face with the sleeve of his robe. 'Truly, as I think on it now, I like not the look that Abbot Hugo gave me when we left they king's yard. I fear he may try something nasty.'
Bran lifted his chin. The jagged scar on his cheek, livid now, twisted his lip into a sneer. 'Within sight of the king's house?' he scoffed, his voice tight. 'He wouldn't dare.'
'Would he not?'
'Dare what?' said Iwan, striding up. Siarles came toiling along in the big man's wake.
'Our friar here,' replied Bran, 'thinks we should abandon the road. He thinks Abbot Hugo is bent on making trouble.'
Iwan glanced back the way they had come. 'Oh, aye,' agreed Iwan, 'that would be his way.' To Tuck, he said, 'Have you seen anything?'
'What's this then?' inquired Siarles as he joined the group. 'Why have you stopped?'
'Tuck thinks the abbot is on our tail,' Iwan explained.
'I maybe saw something back there, and not for the first time,' Tuck explained. 'I don't say it for a certainty, but I think someone is following us.'
'It makes sense.' Siarles looked to the frowning Bran. 'What do you reckon?'
'I reckon I am surrounded by a covey of quail frightened of their own shadows,' Bran replied. 'We move on.'
He turned to go, but Iwan spoke up. 'My lord, look around you. There is little enough cover hereabouts. If we were to be taken by surprise, the slaughter would be over before we could put shaft to string.'
Mérian joined them then, having heard a little of what had passed. 'The little ones are growing weary,' she pointed out. 'They cannot continue on this way much longer without rest and water. We will have to stop soon in any event. Why not do as Tuck suggests and leave the road now – just to be safe?'
'So be it,' he said, relenting at last. He glanced around and then pointed to a grove of oak and beech rising atop the next hill up the road. 'We will make for that wood. Iwan – you and Siarles pass the word along, then take up the rear guard.' He turned to Tuck and said, 'You and Mérian stay here and keep everyone moving. Tell them they can rest as soon as they reach the grove, but not before.'
He turned on his heel and started off again. Iwan stood looking after his lord and friend. 'It's the vile king's treachery,' he observed. 'That's put the black dog on his back, no mistake.'
Siarles, as always, took a different tone. 'That's as may be, but there's no need to bite off our heads. We ent the ones who cheated him out of his throne.' He paused and spat. 'Stupid bloody king.'
'And stupid bloody cardinal, all high and mighty,' continued Iwan. 'Priest of the church, my arse. Give me a good sharp blade and I'd soon have him saying prayers he never said before.' He cast a hasty glance at Tuck. 'Sorry, friar.'
'I'd do the same,' Tuck said. 'Now, off you go. If I am right, we must get these people to safety, and that fast.'
The two ran back down the line, urging everyone to make haste for the wood on the next hill. 'Follow Bran!' they shouted. 'Pick up your feet. We are in danger here. Hurry!'
'There is safety in the wood,' Mérian assured them as they passed, and Tuck did likewise. 'Follow Bran. He'll lead you to shelter.'
It took a little time for the urgency of their cries to sink in, but soon the forest dwellers were moving at a quicker pace up to the wood at the top of the next rise. The first to arrive found Bran waiting at the edge of the grove beneath a large oak tree, his strung bow across his shoulder.
'Keep moving,' he told them. 'You'll find a hollow just beyond that fallen tree,' he pointed through the wood. 'Hide yourselves and wait for the others there.'
The first travellers had reached the shelter of the trees and Tuck was urging another group to speed and showing them where to go when he heard someone shouting up from the valley. He could not make out the words, but as he gazed around the sound came again and he saw Iwan furiously gesturing towards the far hilltop. He looked where the big man was pointing and saw two mounted knights poised on the crest of the hill.
The soldiers were watching the fleeing procession and, for the moment, seemed content to observe. Then one of the knights wheeled his mount and disappeared back down the far side of the hill.
Bran had seen it too, and began shouting. 'Run!' he cried, racing down the road. 'To the grove!' he told Mérian and Tuck. 'The Ffreinc are going to attack!'
He flew to meet Iwan and Siarles at the bottom of the hill.
'I'd best go see if I can help,' Tuck said and, leaving Mérian to hurry the people along, he fell into step behind Bran.
'Just the two of them?' Bran asked as he came running to meet Siarles and Iwan.
'So far,' replied the champion. 'No doubt the one's gone to alert the rest. Siarles and I will take a stand here,' he said, bending the long ashwood bow to string it. 'That will give you and Tuck time to get the rest of the folk safe hidden in the woods.'
Bran shook his head. 'It may come to that one day, but not today.' His tone allowed no dissent. 'We have a little time yet. Get everyone into the wood – carry them if you have to. We'll dig ourselves into the grove and make Gysburne and his hounds come in after us.'
'I make it six bows against thirty knights,' Siarles pointed out. 'Good odds, that.'
Bran gave a quick jerk of his chin. 'Good as any,' he agreed. 'Fetch along the stragglers and follow me.'
Iwan and Siarles darted away and were soon rushing the last of the lagging Grellon up the hill to the grove. 'What do you want me to do?' Tuck shouted.
'Pray,' answered Bran, pulling an arrow from the sheaf at his belt and fitting it to the string. 'Pray God our aim is true and each arrow finds its mark.'
Bran moved off, calling for the straggling Grellon to find shelter in the wood. Tuck watched him go. Pray? he thought. Aye, to be sure – the Good Lord will hear from me. But I will do more, will I not? Then he scuttled up the hill and into the wood in search of a good stout stick to break some heads.

Although you may know what social media marketing is, you might not know how to begin using it. You're probably more accustomed to more traditional methods of marketing. The good news: advertising via social media is very similar to previous techniques that you know about. The tactics are a lot more fun to implement, too. Read on for some tips on using social media appropriately to market your business.
Try using YouTube as part of the marketing you use for social media, to help attract specific viewers to your website. YouTube is great new way to attract visitors to your site, because they will already have an idea what you're marketing after viewing one of your videos on YouTube. This will increase the chances that visitors will make purchases.
Think about exchanging posts on your site with a fellow blogger whose specialty is similar to yours. This method helps both you and the guest blogger to get more traffic to both of your websites. When you write on another blog, ensure that you have agreed to link to one another's sites. Always, be willing to reciprocate for your own guest bloggers. The followers of the guest blogger will probably read this post and check out your site.
Twitter Posts
Create new Twitter posts often. Old Twitter posts have a tendency to get buried on others' feeds. The key to success on Twitter is by posting quality content frequently. Rather than one long tweet, post several shorter ones.
If you learn to market using social media, you will learn it is almost all the same. If you use our tips to assist your efforts in social media marketing, you will surely find that it is effective, profitable and worthwhile. Remember to have fun along the way and to develop good relationships with your customers.

With all the chaos around old Darkness Of Despair systems, a shortcut to High Sec was in order.
John jumped in his Stratios and set off. One system over there were two cosmic signatures to scan down.
Even though there was no one else in the system, a safe would be needed.
Safe Spots
To me this is a bookmark in the system that is reasonably safe from any hostiles warping straight to you. You can still be combat probed but if you have an eye on local and Dscan you get ample warning.
I opted for a simple safe spot, as I had a cloak.
A quick look at the map gave me the furthest celestial from the gate I was at. Warp to it and drop a book mark roughly half way. Its not a big system so everywhere is in Dscan range. Warp back to the book mark. On landing drop probes, pick a random direction, engage drive and switch on cloak. Now being next to impossible to find, switch over to the scanning map and hunt down the signatures. A more complicated safe spot would be to the pick another target and warp, dropping a bookmark on the way. This gives you a spot that is not on a direct route between any point.
Sisters Probes, Launcher and the Stratios all give a massive bonus to my meager skills, some at 3 and some at 4.
Turned out to be a wormhole and a combat site. I ignored the combat site, and did not even fully scan it down. Recall the probes and decloak and load the launcher. (Always best to do before entering the hole as 10 seconds is a long time to sit around in wormhole space.)
Still no one in system so warped to the wormhole at 10k to look. Appeared to be visually a C4, and had a full life span and mass limit.
Checklist for wormholes
Probe Launcher
These are the minimum you should have. If the wormhole shuts for any reason and you are inside with no probes, the only way out is to self destruct. Not a good idea. Cloak as everyone in a wormhole is going to try and shoot you, so hide. and insurance because sometimes you are too slow or cannot hide.
Bookmarked the Null side of the hole and jumped through.
First task was to Dscan at max range and 360 degrees. A Tengu and a Carrier on scan with several towers and wrecks. So there have been people active in last two hours, and capitals in system.
Second task is to bookmark this side of the hole so you can get out.
You still at this point have the jump cloak. Look at the map, pick a celestial that will give you max Dscan coverage and warp at range. As soon as the warp starts hit the cloak.
Always assume that the inhabitants of the hole are paranoid, and have someone cloaked up watching all the entrances. Most times they do not, but several times I have been invited to conversation while in warp. Personally if this happens I turn straight around and run for the exit.
Normally however you land and Dscan again. Personally I want to find every tower and any ships before I drop probes. Probes can be seen, and if they have not noticed you up to now they will as soon as probes are dropped.
A quick look at Statticmapper told me that this was a C4 with a C5 static connection. I found all the towers, and none had any force field up. Narrowing down Dscan in both range and arc lead me to each tower. I warped to each at 50 just to check they were truly dead and not on or off lining. They were all dead. So the Tengu and Carrier were ratting.... Where are they now?
Dscanning the anomalies, gave me one with wrecks, so I warped to it at range. Still cloaked. Hordes of sleepers still up and hostile. so someone knew I was here and stopped ratting to assess (or hunt me). Either way this is sensible and meant there was at least one competent pilot in system. Also it was not their home system, and a C5 static.
Discretion being the best route sometimes, warped back to the in hole and jumped through.. Out of interest I microwarped at random and cloaked to watch. Less than a minute later a Tengu pops through the hole. thirty seconds later a carrier jumped in and then straight back putting the hole out of service.
A lucky escape. They clearly wanted peace to rat, but if I had not run, then I would be still in and have to scan out a route. Not good.
Two systems over found another wormhole, this one a C2 (you can tell by colour, google it). C2's have two statics, so a high chance of a High or Low sec exit. Following the same procedure, jumped in. Big system was the first thing I noticed. Nothing in Dscan range. Only three planets, each more than 30 AU from each. Long old warp to each, but no towers and no ships. Made a safe spot out of Dscan range, dropped probes and started scanning. Mostly Gas sites but found the statics, a C1 and a Low sec. Bookmarked and popped through. Molden Heath. Not brilliant, but not bad. 4 jumps to a system selling the skill books I wanted, off I went.
Let the rest of the corp know that there was a reasonable exit. Low sec has its own dangers, but gate to gate in a small ship, you are reasonably safe.
Arrived, spent a small fortune on skill books and headed back.
On the second gate saw a warrior II abandoned 18k from the gate. Immediate thought was bait. Tempted but no, as I approached the gate a purifier decloaks 8k away. Jumped anyway, and held the cloak. As soon as I saw the gate flash I warped to the next gate, and was followed. A single bomber did not worry me, the drones and lasers could take him, but his friends... within a minute there were 4 extra in local with the same corp ticker.
Call me risk adverse but a stratios is not a ship to lose vs a small gang, so again I ran to the next gate and then to the WH. They followed to the last system, but could not follow to the hole. Effectively a deep safe. They would have to probe to find me. Once I saw combat probes I slipped back into wormhole space and then home.
Mapping wormholes, if done right can be very safe, but takes time for no isk return. I do not do wormhole sites, mainly because I suspect that the sleepers would eat me alive. I keep on meaning to do a C1 site, but never get around to it. So my whole evening play time used up to get some skill books. I had fun, but then I suspect that I am easy to please.
As ever comments appreciated. I try to write things assuming a very new person is reading this. I probably do not do things the same way as most of you, but I do hope that my ramblings help somebody out or at least prompt some thought on how do do it. ....

Nostalgia expresses a mind state saturated with emotion, an enduring appetite, adaptive and presumed beneficial when it does not paralyze agency in the real social world. The endeavours of romance are suffused with this abiding and guiding undercurrent—a matter of destiny and a matter of volition combined. Hence the link between genre and the phylogenetic and instinctual orientation toward home, particularly as it is represented in the romance-inspired stories of the Renaissance.

2018 Chrysler 300 Concept Redesign, Changes and Release Date
As the large model that is quite popular in Chevy's lineup, but these days the 2018 Chrysler 300 rear seems faded. The 300 is a full-sized sedan which was named Daimler-Chrysler, and after that, it took even up to ten years with a big question in our mind whether they will release the vehicle as the brand new model or not. We haven't any precise data yet, but we think many of us expect the new generation should go with a completely different platform.
2018 Chrysler 300 Exterior
We don't mind to say that the current generation is outdated, sorry for its clumsy look. It is important to come out with total redesigns, such as smooth lines in the 200 model. The 2018 Chrysler 300 should be more modern, and the aerodynamic design should be improved. This change will be helpful to get positive feedback from the markets and at the same time will enhance its performance. Likely, there are three versions available for it. The standard version has a more comfortable design, the higher model is 300C, and the top is the 300S sports version. These models will have different details and rims.
2018 Chrysler 300 Interior
It depends on your options. Each model has different gauges, seats as well as upholstery materials. There will be a slight change in the interior design in the 2018 Chrysler 300, but the details are still wrapped secretly by the company. Technically, the new generation will have a significant change. We do expect that it will go with new front-wheel drive platform. Another more reliable option is the retuned LX platform which is used in Maserati Ghibli. It works with a different front suspension to increase its handling performance.
2018 Chrysler 300 Engine
As for the engine execution, it is still uncertain whether they will keep the Hemi V8 or not. In fact, the environmental laws are very strict, and now most automakers have to present their best with the high concern on the fuel efficiency. We think it is not necessary for the company to use a big engine to equip a full-size sedan. It is reasonable if they will replace the big V8 engine with the more efficient turbo and twin-turbocharged V6 with the use of 3.0 or 3.5 liters. It should go the same for the SRT model. The 2018 Chrysler 300 will be supported by eight-speed auto transmission as well as the optional all-wheel drive in case that they carry over the rear-wheel drive platform.
2018 Chrysler 300 Release Date and Price
If we think that the 2018 version will be an entirely new model, it seems that it won't come out at the end of 2017, but it might happen in the middle of 2018 where the sales will be started immediately after that. To deal with its rival, Chrysler always offers it with affordable price. The new 2018 Chrysler 300 surely will have fewer gadgets and less powerful output for the base model which will be available around $33,500, experts said.

Our football match prediction:
Villarreal were more than fortunate to pick up one point from Sunday's football game against Barcelona. The Catalan giants failed to turn their dominance into more goals (1-1), but thanks to the draw with Luis Enrique's men the Yellow Submarine extended their unbeaten run in the league to four games. Villarreal aim to retain to top four in the La Liga standings and they are certainly capable of beating Deportivo La Coruna at Estadio Municipal de Riazor. Fran Escriba's team outplayed Sporting Gijon in their last away game in the Spanish top flight, but they recorded only one victory in previous six matches on the road. Deportivo La Coruna played out a 1-1 draw with Espanyol in Catalonia and they are eyeing their third straight win at home. Seeing that both teams will go for a win in Saturday's clash, we predict that both Deportivo and Villarreal will find the net in the Estadio Municipal de Riazor game.
Highlighted Player (Celso Borges):
Celso Borges is an experienced 28-year-old central midfielder who currently plays for Spanish club Deportivo La Coruna and the Costa Rica national team. Borges was a youth prospect at Saprissa before making his making his professional debut at the age of 18. He had a very successful career winning five national championships with Saprissa. Borges later had stints at various clubs before joining Deportivo in 2015 initially on loan and then permanently. He played in the 2005 U-17 FIFA World Championships and was considered among the best players of the tournament. His youth team exploits earned him a senior team debut in 2008 after which he became a regular with the national team. Borges has already earned a total of 85 caps for Costa Rica and found the back of the net 19 times. He had a successful run with the national team in 2014 FIFA World Cup reaching the quarter-finals.
Highlighted Team (Villarreal):
Villarreal CF was founded on 10th of March 1923. In the year 1998 Vilarreal managed to reach the Primera Divison for the first time in history of the club. After 1 season the club couldnt manage to stay in the league and go regulated to the Segunda Divison. In the last couple of years Villarreal deveped itself to a stable club in the Primera Divsiion. This first European succes was in 2003/2004 where the club managed to reach the semi finals in the UEFA cup. In 2004/2005 Villarreal end 3th on the table in the Primera Division which was a highlight for the club.The biggest succes was in 2006 when Villarreal managed to reach the semi finals in the Champions League. In the semi finals the club lost with only 1 goal difference against runner up Arsenal. Former known players for Villarreal are: Riquelme, Tomasson, Fernandez, Forlan and Pires.

Borealis String Quartet
Review by Patrick Ledwell
Johannes Goethe once observed, "I call architecture frozen music," and in many ways, you can see the century-old St. Mary's Church in Indian River as this metaphor made real. During the performance I attended, I could easily imagine my surroundings as the outcome of a musical moment crystallized and then scaffolded with wood, the melodic lines converted to arches and the plucked quarter notes to supportive columns.
If this sounds a bit cracked, I'll defend my imaginings as being somewhat in tune with those of the church's designer, the renowned Island architect, William Critchlow Harris. Harris (who receives second billing only to the Creator in the province's design credits) was preoccupied with acoustical perfection, and the church's interior was conceived as an experiment in preserving musical timbre through arrangements of timber. Music rises to the 60 foot high vaulted ceiling, where ribbed interlacings of Island hardwood and softwood faithfully carry it back to each waiting ear.
It is a testament to this acoustical achievement that the Indian River Festival can attract performers as accomplished as the British Columbia-based Borealis String Quartet. True to their name, the quartet—Patricia Shih and Yuel Yawney on violins, Nikita Pogrebnoy on viola, and Joel Stobbe on cello— are seen as bright lights in the Canadian classical music horizon. My ear detected a unique sympathy between the wood in their instruments and that lining this countryside church, creating an electric evening where the performers and the space resonated as a single instrument.
The performers were as synchronized with each other as they were with the atmosphere. Goethe observed that string quartets are a "conversation among equals" (quite a busy observer, that Goethe), and the members of the Borealis Quartet are well-matched in their virtuosic mastery of their instruments. Brilliant conversants do not assure good dialogue, though, and it was enthralling to watch how these musicians used a richly physical performance to choreograph shared musical phrases.
This idea of conversation carried strongly across the three complementary selections performed by the Borealis Quartet. The first piece, Haydn's Quartet in D major, Op. 64, no. 5, is subtitled "The Lark." In the opening sonata, the light-hearted and trilling first violin was as carefree as a bird's flight, but in an ongoing conversation, this motif was counterpoised by staccato, measured accompaniment from the other three instruments. The String Quartet in E flat major by Fanny Mendelssohn is an especially distinctive work considering the suffocating norms of her time, where both her father and famous composer brother forbade her from publishing any of her compositions. The quartet's performance evoked an argument between resignation and hope. The falling third movement, where the performers pass around a forlorn repeated motif, is answered by an energetic finale, which makes a final statement of resolve and persistence.
The most impassioned playing of the evening came during the final work, Schubert's String Quartet in D Minor, D 810, no. 14, also known as "Death and the Maiden." Composed when Schubert became aware of his impending death, in his late 20s, the performance spoke expressively about the double bind between sexuality and mortality. The lurching dance between sensual and desolate themes throughout the final movement, where you can feel the composer desperately writing to cheat death's onset, left the audience breathless and on its feet.
To spend an evening at the Indian River Festival is literally to experience an evening in concert—the performance, the architecture, and the surrounding green countryside all reverberate with a single harmonious note.

Monica Puig wins gold at Rio 2016 Olympic Games
Monica Puig has entered the history books, becoming the first woman to win a medal for Puerto Rico at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Puig, an ellesse ambassador, won gold for her country in the Women's Singles Tennis event.
Puig proudly wore a beautiful, specially created ellesse dress in Puerto Rican colours throughout the tournament.
"Once I found out that I was going to be part of the Olympic team, I immediately called ellesse and said "we have to do something special for the Olympics!" and the result was this famous dress!" says Puig. "The colours were beautiful and it made me feel really patriotic out there."
"When I put on the uniform for Puerto Rico and I go out to a competition where I'm representing my island, I need to rise to the occasion and play my best tennis," Puig continues.
"Obviously during the Olympics is a great time to do that, and I'm so excited with what I just accomplished. You can really see in the eyes of the population, how much this meant to them.
The current world number 34 truly upset the odds on her way to the title, comprehensively beating French Open Champion and 4th ranked Gabiñe Muguruza to reach the Quarter Finals.
"Being named as part of the Puerto Rico team, that got me really excited. Being an Olympian was always a dream, and the dream got bigger as I won more matches.
In the round of four, she then overcame Laura Siegemund (32), before Petra Kvitova (14), and, in the Gold Medal Match, world number two Angelique Kerber to claim her position at the top of the podium.
"Ranked 32 places beneath her [final] opponent, Puig dominated the final set with an aggressive display of offensive tennis to round off a deserved 6-3 4-6 6-1 win."
The scale of the achievement is not lost on Puig, who notes that she has now accomplished one of her greatest goals in tennis. "Everybody would want an Olympic gold medal on their resume," she says. "The fact that I have one already, and that it's so hard to get, definitely boosts my confidence and makes all my other goals seem achievable."
In the wake of her incredible victory, Monica has been congratulated by numerous tennis legends – including Chris Evert, who won multiple titles including Wimbledon while wearing ellesse.
Baseline Tennis, in their review of Olympic fashion hits, said of Monica and her ellesse outfit:
"A portrait of a player at ease in her own skin and on the surface and stage, Monica Puig has roused sports fans in her native Puerto Rico with an inspiring run to the Olympic singles medal rounds. Ad-in, Ellesse, who gave her a gorgeous red-white-and-blue dress for the occasion. Friends, in the fashion arena, this is your Rio champion."
Keep up the great work Monica!

Janne mentioned yesterday that the head of a recycling company was eager to hire former farmers. Over the last couple of decades a lot of farmers in Denmark have had to stop because small farms cannot produce enough surplus to give a decent income. They used to large or medium farms, now they're simply too small. So many farmers have had to find a job.
A similar wave hit the country when industrialisation started kicking in and women in large numbers began joining the work force. I remember reading about egg-packers in a factory in literature classes in high school. The point is that those women were also valued because they were used to work for themselves and thus act responsibly and conscientious.
I think there's a parallel here to open source developers who have run and nurtured their own projects. It shows that they care.
Whether there really is a difference, I don't know. I haven't met that many non-open source developers and in any case I'd think that discipline is much more important in non-creative factory work.

Hey folks, a while ago I found a tonne of excellent high quality posts on machine guns on here, including the Japanese Type 11, 96, 99, Italian Breda M30, Breda 5c, American M1919s
I saved a couple of them, but they are a bit lower res, I was wondering if anyone had all of them, in their full
This guy's created a couple of torrents of weapons manuals and such:

Isn't there a Bat Guano torrent somewhere?
Here's a selection of my machine-gun pictures. I did not bother including the small pictures. All of these have been posted previously, though.
- UK Maxim 1895 .303 caliber machine-gun, invented in the US in 1883.
Standard Vickers machine gun with tripod mount and associated ammunition belt, ammunition box plus petrol can (as a condenser can) with hose. The Vickers Gun was the standard British machine gun from 1912. It was heavy and mounted on a tripod, requiring a team of six men to transport it to and operate it on the battlefield. Although difficult to use on advancing troops, machine guns were used to deadly effect from defensive positions.
And for those into Great War-era drive-by shooting...
US MAARS (Modular Advanced Armed Robotic System) robot armed with an M240 machine-gun.
Here is an action cover that also serves as a snow shoe for the bipod of this Swedish Kulsprutegevar m/37 machine gun (a BAR clone). http://1919a4.com/showthread.php?54315-Snow-shoe-for-a-machine-gun
Another BAR clone for the European market before WW2 was the Polish Browning wz. 28 light machine-gun.
US M2 .50 BMG at Camp Leatherneck, Helmand province, Afghanistan, 2013.

By Sarah Yacoub. Sarah Yacoub is an attorney at Equal Justice Inc.
There's always a sense of desperation in the air when elected officials start playing the abortion card during election season. It's flown like a giant flag that serves as a cover for indefensible records and a distraction in hopes that voters will be so emotionally overcome that they will blindly vote for these politicians again. It's a "pro-life" banner seen during campaign season followed by absolutely no action that reduces the number of abortions in this country.
So let's flush this out. What does making abortion illegal look like? Surely these politicians have more than just a cue card of talking points and have thought this out. How many years of prison does a woman get for terminating her pregnancy? What about the man who got her pregnant and contributes to the circumstances in which women feel the need to terminate a pregnancy? For how long will he be imprisoned? At a rate of about $40,000 to incarcerate one person for one year, where are these politicians planning to get the money to imprison these people?
What if a married couple has (7) kids and are barely treading water? What if the wife cannot afford to take off of work to recover from the birth of another child? What if this couple does not have access to affordable healthcare? Without access to affordable healthcare and the financial ability or job security to take a leave of absence, adoption isn't a realistic option.
What if we're talking about a woman in an abusive relationship? What if she's familiar enough with the local justice system to know that it's an expensive never-ending nightmare or that we routinely make people co-parent with their rapist and with abusive sociopaths? What if she knows the statistics of the prevalence with which we send children back into abusive homes? For how many years and at what cost to taxpayers would these politicians have that woman sit in prison for her decision to seek an abortion at (5) weeks?
What about the young married couple who is told at (26) weeks that their beloved child, for whom they've already set up the nursery, has a brain growing outside of her skull, her spine is malformed, she will die upon birth if not sooner and continuing the pregnancy not only risks leaving this young woman infertile but dead? What if her doctor advocates for ending the unborn child's life? What if her husband agrees? For how long and at what cost to taxpayers will this young married couple and doctor sit in prison?
It's easy to wave a "pro-life" flag because the end of life is tragic and babies are God's greatest (and cutest) gift to us. It is, however, abundantly clear that this is but an election tactic to get elected and nothing more. The politicians who wave this flag, once elected, do nothing but contribute to the desperation that so often goes into the decision to terminate a pregnancy.
Do we see these politicians advocate for joining the rest of the industrialized world with universal healthcare to allow for more families to feel free to have the baby and give him or her up for adoption?
Do we see these politicians advocate for paid medical leave following the birth of a child?
Do we see these politicians advocate for policies to streamline the adoption process?
Do these politicians support conservation efforts to ensure we're not drinking and bathing in tainted water leading to terminal birth defects?
Do we see these politicians fight for criminal justice reform to improve the handling of domestic abuse and sexual assault?
Do they fight for family law reform to ensure that rapists and sociopaths aren't entrusted with children?
And, why not? If the politicians waving the "pro-life" flag truly care to reduce abortion, why wouldn't they fight to remove the barriers that we know lead to abortion in this country?
I hate abortion like I hate violations of the other nine commandments. My heart breaks for abortion like my heart breaks for divorce, war, evil. Perhaps that is why it's hard to sit quietly by while politicians use abortion as a pawn to get elected. I invite folks to look at the candidates with the platforms that lead to the lowest number of abortions and that help alleviate the reasons people seek them. Look to voting records once elected and not just the slogans they pull out come election time.

Incase you missed it, I have begun blogging again. I decided to come up with themes to keep to on certain days. Monday is art, while Tuesday is music and Wednesday is writing. I took Thursday off, to scour the depths of WordPress and those blogs I follow, even a few I do not and have decided that Fridays will be known as Feature Friday. I will showcase one blog I really connect to each Friday. I searched tags such as Revolution, Love, Words, and History. However, it was the tag of Mythology that brought me to a blog I knew I had to immediately start following. While I was in college, I took many ancient history classes, but none more important as Mythology. I loved to read about the old gods, the old stories. The word mythology comes from the French mythologie which derives its origins from the Ancient Greek, Muthos, which means myth and -logia, which is, denoting a subject of study or interest. So, basically mythology is defined as the study of myth, any myth. But for most, mythology and the gods of Rome and Greece come to mind first. La Audacia de Aquiles is the blog I speak of, or The Audacity of Achilles. Just doing a quick glance of her site, I see posts on The Judgement of Paris, Ovid, and even Nietzsche comparing different Greek lifestyles via Apollo and Dionysus. But her latest post is the one that caught my eye: The Lost City of Atlantis. She seems to have a love of all things Ancient Myth. But I also notice she has quite a few posts commenting on Existentialism. Sadly, I only have one class of French Existentialism under my belt, but have been intrigued by it ever since. I hope to be able to indulge my wants by looking over many of the older posts made by Aquileana. There are multiple languages all over the blog, so it can get a little difficult to navigate, but under the picture of the writer, there is a drop down of all the different categories of post that seem to be simple enough to pick through. Eventually I would like to incorporate a Q&A with the authors of these blogs, but since I decided last minute to do this, I can only describe the blog from my point of view, and hope I have enticed you enough to go check it out.

Earlier this week, I speculated as to whether KWGN would adopt a new anchorless newscast format that Tribune, KWGN's owner, is experimenting with in other markets. I later talked to a source that said that the duopoly's general manager, Peter Maroney, doesn't know what to do with KWGN-channel 2 and is waiting for market research to come back before making a decision. So, until then, it is likely that channel 2 will keep the status quo— retaining some elements of "The Deuce" format while branding itself as "KWGN News" — for at least a few more months.
Follow-up: KWGN's Branding Woes
2 Responses
The public seems to finally be embracing the 'deuce' and it is a great niche for the market. Channel 2 aka KWGN aka the deuce has gone through so many re-branding efforts, that I am afraid this will be yet another misleading effort and confuse the public.
The hip 'deuce' is what Denver needs.
The Deuce was a failed pathetic and cynical attempt to grab eyeballs. Leonard failed to deliver the ratings and succeeded only in destroying a great legacy station and the lives of a lot of fired employees.

?The signing took place on Mota Lava Island of Vanuatu's Torba Province between the Prime Minister of Solomon Islands, Manasseh Sogavare and his Vanuatu counterpart, Prime Minister Charlot Salwai Tabimasmas.?
The historic treaty concluded the wish of the two governments to settle upon a maritime boundary line in an area of the sea where their 200-mile zone overlap, demarcated along resolved coordinates calculated based on the strict median approach dividing the two sovereign nations, between the northern region of Vanuatu and the southern regions of the Solomon Islands.?
The treaty builds on from a Memorandum signed in 2015 of both countries made with respect to their collective boundaries of delimitation.?The new demarcation of the boundary will recognize and resolves to protect the similar cultures that existed on the border communities of both countries and the cultural exchanges and trade that existed on its history, and ensuring the continuity of those practices as the means to reinforce the spirit of Melanesian brotherhood

Today's Qt announcement (Digia acquires Qt asset and core personal from Nokia) should be good news for RIM in two ways. Firstly the news means that Qt will have a future. Digia has been doing successful business with it already and it has clear motivation to expand the business and improve Qt. Second thing is that now RIM can utilize Digia better. Previously, Digia was mostly involved with non-mobile clients, probably due to contractual reasons with Nokia. After the deal Digia and the brightest trolls it employes can support RIM's efforts of building a Qt based OS a lot more. This could bring a big boost in what the OS can do and how it performs.
Industry Analysts and business people are eager to give advice to RIM's leadership. The most popular suggestions are 1) Start making WP8 devices 2) Start making Android devices and 3) Licence your new OS to others. I think all of those are bad ideas. Major strategy changes are really painful and could only solve the problem in long-run and thus would probably burn all the cash RIM has and thus lead to bankrupt, unless there would be big monetary support from somewhere (for example MS). Nokia's WP choice shows how rocky road that is. Also in the Android camp there only seems to be two players that are profiting: Samsung and Google.
Licensing out the new OS initially sounds like a nice idea. It should expand the ecosystem and help in cash flow as license income should help paying R&D bills. The reason I do not like this approach either is because of two major downsides.
The first one is that licensees will very likely cannibalize the most lucrative part of the market. When Apple started licensing Mac OS, licensees focused most of their efforts on high end where Apple had its highest profit margins. So instead of expanding market, the licensees mostly just ate away Apple's profits. It's likely that this would happen also to RIM.
Second issue is that when you license a mobile OS to an OEM, the contracts are very complicated. Since mobile operating systems are much more tightly bound to device hardware than traditional computer operating system, the operating system vendor and device manufacturer will have a quite intimate relationship. This would not be a problem for a pure operating system vendor, but it is a problem when vendor like RIM that develops its own devices and then licenses the OS out to others. The problem comes from licensees requiring similar kind of treatment as the internal device development teams.
In practice, one solution is to establish firewall between the OS development team and device development teams or separate the OS development to separate company. The problem is that this leads to bloated organization and makes communication a lot harder. Nokia's S60 licensing business was one example of this. Having the licensees meant that Nokia had to have quite complex organization in building S60 and S60 based devices. This led to a lot of inefficiencies. Since RIM is already behind in features and desirability of its major competitors, becoming a more complex organization is unacceptable. The need to reduce complexity in their operation, not increase it.
If I led RIM, I would just continue on the current path. I would definitely try to avoid major reorgs or strategy changes. Those are the quickest ways to doom. Instead, I'd focus on operational excellence and R&D efficiency. I'd prefer to keep R&D teams small, smart, agile and hungry, instead of big bloated armies of outsourced and offsite engineers as seen in so many corporations nowadays.

Soundcloud has become the go-to option for streaming music online, but has had a love-hate relationship with the music biz. This week, however, the music platform announced that it has reached a formal agreement with over 20,000 independent labels for royalties.
The deal was struck with Merlin, a company that represents small companies during digital negotiations. Details of the deal were unknown at press time.
"Independent creators have always been at the core of SoundCloud, and with this partnership we're thrilled to extend new revenue-generating opportunities to thousands of independent labels," said Soundcloud co-founder, Alexander Ljung.
Despite the deal with indies, Soundcloud has yet to strike a deal with major labels like Sony and Universal, who do not believe the platform will financially benefit them… enough.
Last month, SoundCloud announced that since its advertising platform started late last year, it had paid about $2 million in royalties.
