Social media has democratized industries like fashion and beauty by creating a plethora of opportunities for brands of all sizes to develop intimate relationships with modern consumers in the digital age. Today's PLANOLEADER is leading the charge at one of these forward-thinking companies — Enter Drew Elovitz, the Global Director of Content Strategy at Who What Wear. Since its inception, the socially-savvy publisher has leveraged platforms like Instagram to facilitate real-time community-building through innovative social and influencer marketing. With a consistent focus on style, culture, and celebrity content, Drew is tasked with building a cohesive strategy across channels so that it is mindful of Who What Wear's dynamic audience and the constant demand for trend related stories. Between the Who What Wear's social and web presence, namesake apparel line for Target, and other digital properties within the company, we were curious to learn more about how Drew plans and manages initiatives for the global business. Discover more from Drew who shares her career background, what it's like to work in New York City, and her tips for those looking to create impactful content strategies.
Please introduce yourself!
Hi, I'm Drew Elovitz. By day I am the Director of Content Strategy at Who What Wear, and by night I am an avid consumer of all things pop culture, from Game of Thrones to the Hidden Brain podcast, and yes, even print magazines. You can find me on Instagram sharing clandestine photos of neighborhood dogs and on Twitter sharing my favorite articles from around the web.
Before Who What Wear what were you up to professionally, what role did digital play in your job description, and what have been some notable moments throughout your career so far?
I graduated during the most recent recession, so I moved to NYC to pursue graduate studies and used that time to intern non-stop. An internship I found via Tumblr eventually lead to my first job at a boutique social media agency working on the Mattel account, both in content creation and analytics. From there, I moved onto Teen Vogue where I became their first ever Social Media Director, then moved over Entertainment Weekly where I led social video. Some of my fondest memories are of attending the Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party and working on the first Instagram portrait studios, the rush of covering the red carpet during awards season, and being a featured expert in the Teen Vogue x Parsons curriculum for the Fashion Industry Essentials online course. That still seems wild to me!
Tell us more about your current position at Who What Wear. How do you divide your time across the company's portfolio of brands? Do you have any tips or learnings you can share for other companies in the space who have multiple services or brands under their umbrella?
Whether you're working across several brands, or get to focus on just one or two, the most important thing is to know how and why an individual site or product is different, not only from others in the same company but also within its competitive set. I have been fortunate enough to work with several founders, including Who What Wear's Katherine Power and Hillary Kerr, which has been critical for learning the brand DNA for all properties and becoming a champion of the company and its collective vision.
Walk us through your current to-do list. What would you say is one element of your position as Director of Content Strategy that goes unnoticed or that you would like to have the opportunity to talk more about?
As with most digital media jobs, no two days are the same. That said, the best and worst part of working on content strategy is that I am responsible for communicating a lot of high-level information to different stakeholders, while also operating in the weeds with our editors and channel leads. I straddle our Audience Development and Editorial teams, which allows me to use equal parts of my left and right brain for every task. From monitoring analytics dashboards to weekly reporting, content ideation, and tentpole events coverage plans, it's no wonder I have 15+ tabs open at any given moment. One thing I am very proud of is getting all of my colleagues to be a lot more comfortable talking about quantifiable successes as it relates to our creative content creation. Everyone who works in digital media should be able to understand metrics and what that means for both individual and company success. Arm yourself with data and become your own advocate! That also ties into people management — it's really important to me that I help cultivate a healthy culture of work/life balance, especially in this time of tumult for the media industry. At the end of the day, I'm just happy to be a member of a hardworking team.
Is there a specific campaign or project that you've worked on at Who What Wear that you're most proud of and that you think is a reflection of modern media and the company's digital prowess?
I joined Who What Wear knowing that my biggest challenge would be to demystify data across our editorial org. Over the past few years, we've instituted core KPIs and individual editor goals, which includes affiliate revenue. Whereas most publishers have just entered the affiliate game, Who What Wear has been shoppable since 2006, and remains an integral component to all content creation. This also gives the team a way to evaluate performance beyond page views and unique visits, which feels increasingly important in this era of digital media.
It appears that the majority of your career has taken place in NYC, which is one of the epicenters for digital and marketing. However, what tactics have you learned to build and maintain relationships with relevant contacts, team members, and collaborators who are based outside of the city? Why is this important
You definitely don't have to live in NYC to have a media career — there are lots of remote opportunities, particularly for freelance writers, editors, and content creators — but having contacts in the business certainly helps. I am still friendly with colleagues from my first job and continue to reach out to my network when I'm looking to hire or for their recommendations. With that in mind, it's important to stay in touch, genuinely — reach out to people with an interesting article or anecdote, just to let them know they're on your mind — don't just reach out when you need a favor. It's sometimes as simple as sliding into their DMs and saying, "great job!" and seeing where the conversation leads.
What are your top best practices or tips for those looking to create integrated content strategies that are mindful of the modern content consumer?
- Define Your Goal: I always approach any new challenge with a question: what is the ultimate goal? This can be an overarching vision, a tangible number, or a quantifiable return on investment. If there isn't a clear, measurable goal, ask what problem needs to be solved, and work backward.
- Trust Your Gut: If you're not quite comfortable crunching data (or not in a data-facing role), don't discount the value of your gut instinct. Often you will feel or sense something before the data tells you it's true editors often have this uncanny ability.
- Know Your Audience: Diversity and inclusion are not optional. Your content won't perform if you have tunnel vision about who is creating and consuming your content. Word choice and image selection are critical not only to a brand's DNA but also to cultivate an authentic community, no matter how niche the product.

This paper describes a working method for separation, fractionation and identification of colloid and colloidal clay minerals in soils. Technical information pertains to super-centrifugation, electron-microscopy and X-ray diffraction. On the basis of these techniques, twenty-two samples have been investigated in conjunction with a soil stud of pumping pavements.
Soils were first dispersed and separated by gravity sedimentation. Fractionation was accomplished by controlled super-centrifugation. The separated fractions were purified and then analyzed by X-ray diffraction. Computed size fractions were checked by shadow castings and lineal dimensions on electron micrographs.
Results include identification of the mineral or minerals present and the properties of the natural sample from which the colloidal fractions were extracted.
These methods furnish a basis for more extensive research relating the behavior of the clay minerals and their contributions to the properties of soils.

On Tuesday at the African Union summit, the AU adopted a strategy for member countries to withdraw from the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Although much has been made of it, the decision is not legally binding and it remains the prerogative of individual member states to withdraw from the ICC.
Nonetheless, the political implications of the decision are considerable and reflect significant discontent with the international justice architecture and the inequalities inherent in the ways in which justice functions in the global system.
The decision comes in the aftermath of South Africa, Burundi and the Gambia withdrawing from the court at the end of last year. The AU has adopted a policy of nonco-operation with the court since the indictment of Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir.
The court has also faced significant opposition from some states, most notably Kenya, which, since the indictment of President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto, has expressed vocal dissent about the ICC.
One of the issues outlined in a leaked draft of the AU withdrawal strategy is concern about the relationship between the United Nations Security Council and the ICC.
The AU is also perturbed about the African focus of the court, which to date has only one open investigation outside Africa – the probe in Georgia. Other concerns pertain to immunity for heads of state and procedural aspects of trials.
Not binding
But it is unlikely that the AU's move will result in a mass exodus from the court.
First, the decision to adopt the strategy is not legally binding. The draft strategy affirms that it is the responsibility of member states to withdraw from the ICC. There is no provision for collective withdrawal in international law, which the strategy document acknowledges.
The draft strategy suggests that additional research should be done on collective withdrawal. Yet this has no legal bearing on the actions of individual states.
As such, any decision on withdrawing from the ICC would be the prerogative of individual AU member states. It would have to be implemented in accordance with domestic legislation, which, in some cases where the Rome Statute has been domesticated, might require the repeal of legislation – or may require parliamentary approval.
The decision was also passed with reservations by several states, including Nigeria, Senegal and Cape Verde and Liberia. Malawi, Tanzania, Tunisia and Zambia requested more time to study it.
There is no doubt that the political ramifications of the decision may induce some African states to withdraw from the court but to suggest that there will be a mass withdrawal is to homogenise a continent with vastly divergent approaches to justice and with radically different politics inveigled in the instruments of justice.
Indeed, although many liberal advocates of the ICC criticise the AU's conflation of law and politics (yet suspiciously ignore the similar conflations of others), perversely, in some cases, the role the court can play in local politics has staved off more widespread criticism.
The politics of self-referrals are particularly pertinent here, as the court can function as a mechanism to externalise domestic issues.
In Uganda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire and Gabon, the prospect or reality of the court criminalising opponents of the government while all but eschewing any accountability for sitting governments functions as a useful mechanism by which to internationalise domestic conflict, criminalise opponents and, in many ways, judicialise the political.
The effects of this are potentially egregious. University of London academic Phil Clark, for example, has shown how the selectivity of defendants has embedded itself in new conflict dynamics in Uganda. But when it comes to questions of withdrawal, it is precisely these dynamics that stymie the possibilities of mass withdrawal from the court.
Of course, there are states that have consistently advocated for the court and which, for reasons located in the political or the ethical, subscribe to the precepts of the ICC.
Senegal, for example, whose minister of justice, Sidiki Kaba, is the current president of the ICC's Assembly of States Parties, is keen to represent the court as a centre for justice and is vehemently opposed to any possibilities of withdrawal, as is Botswana, which has consistently shown unwavering support for the ICC.
As such, cries about the prospects of mass withdrawal, either jubilant or derisive, reflect neither the legal reality of the effect of the withdrawal strategy nor a contextual appreciation for the disaggregation of approaches to law, justice and their intimacy with power.
The ICC is an imperfect institution, but it is also an institution that can deliver a form of justice for egregious crimes and, rather expediently, that has proven useful for many in the exercise of politics.
Significant blow
Despite the nonbinding nature of the withdrawal strategy, it is a significant blow to the court. In many respects, international justice is as much spectacle and politics as it is law.
In this context, a particular prevailing binary narrative about the ICC that posits criticism of the court as embracing of genocide is helpful neither to the international justice project nor to the victims in whose name its advocates so frequently purport to speak.
Since the indictment of al-Bashir, the AU and African member states have consistently voiced discontent with the court and the Rome Statute system.
Of course, some of this relates to a quest for impunity but concerns about selectivity and inequality in the global system are too easily dismissed in a combative approach.
Still, there have been some efforts to address this, even at the last session of Assembly of States Parties, where, in the aftermath of the three African withdrawals, an open bureau session dealing with African concerns was held – although there was much more dialogue about the importance of dialogue than actual commitment to concrete ways to address the concerns raised by states.
This is partly structural; the Africa focus on the ICC in part relates to the situation of the ICC within a deeply unequal global system and the confluence of its dependence on state co-operation and the unwillingness of power to be held to account.
With a crypto-fascist at the helm of the United States and a global context mired by violent conflict on every continent, the importance of holding leaders to account is essential. In order to safeguard this principle, it is critical that a certain humility be adopted about the purview of the ICC, the type of justice it administers and the politics surrounding its work, as well as a willingness to engage the concerns surrounding the institution.
It is one form of justice for one form of injustice and an important one – but if it is to survive, a more measured approach to its potential and politics ought to be adopted, particularly by those who wish to save it.
The withdrawal strategy should be a call to consider seriously the structural and political difficulties facing the Rome Statute system.
In a global context in which injustice is indiscriminately distributed, the legitimacy of an international justice system in which justice is discriminately distributed is ultimately unsustainable and counteracts the prospects of justice it purports to seek.

* Graphic: Trade-weighted sterling since Brexit vote tmsnrt.rs/2hwV9Hv (Updates with price action in late trade)
By Dhara Ranasinghe
LONDON, March 24 (Reuters) - Britain's pound rallied over 1.5% against the dollar on Tuesday, set for its biggest daily jump since October, winning a respite from a battering in recent days in the face of the coronavirus.
Sterling, along with most currencies, has seen a massive wave of selling against the U.S. dollar, the world's most liquid currency and the safe haven of choice when confidence evaporates from financial markets.
It has also been hurt by concerns over Britain's approach to dealing with the coronavirus outbreak, which has seen a more staggered disruption to economic and everyday life than in other countries.
Late on Monday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson ordered Britons to stay at home to halt the spread of the virus, imposing curbs on everyday life without precedent in peacetime.
Currency analysts said the outlook for sterling remained bearish, partly because of the country's large current account deficit, although broad-based weakness in the dollar was giving the pound a respite for now.
Sterling was last up 1.8% on the day at $1.1763 - having briefly touched a 35-year low of $1.1413 last week. It was poised for its biggest one-day jump against the greenback since last October.
Against the euro, the pound was more than 1% firmer at 91.74 pence - off last week's lows of 95 pence.
"The direction for sterling is still down," said Morten Lund, senior currency strategist at Nordea.
"The big current account deficit has hurt sterling, and so have idiosyncratic reasons such as the increase in coronavirus cases and Brexit uncertainty - although that has taken a back seat for now."
Britain's economy is shrinking at a record pace, faster than during the 2008-09 financial crisis, as businesses across the services sector shut in face of the coronavirus, a survey showed on Tuesday.
The monthly Purchasing Managers' Index - which was conducted last week before the government late on Friday ordered the closure of all pubs, restaurants and other businesses open to the public - points to the economy shrinking at a quarterly rate of 1.5-2.0%.
The data had little immediate impact on the pound, with analysts saying the sharp deterioration in economic activity sparked by the coronavirus outbreak has now been largely factored in by markets.
"The British pound is undervalued. We think it has appreciation potential, particularly against the U.S. dollar over our tactical investment horizon, if the UK embarks on a fiscal stimulus package," UBS Wealth Management said in a note.

text: JimmyD 26 Report post Posted May 20, 2019 A few weeks ago this clock arrived at the clock shop, they had been cleaning it with Brasso, a no-no on gilt clocks. The fly had a pin broken off, and a few bushes were needed, these French clocks pinions are rock hard, well diamond hard, so I fitted a brass bush like collar that fixed it up without trying to drill the dam thing. Anyway back to the Brasso thing, as you see it was a mess and a lot of the gilt was rubbed away, not a bother on a normal French clock that is not worth much, however I could see this was a goody so I did some research on' Valliant a Paris' and this guy was a master clockmaker between 1750's and 1810's. I found a few of his clocks and they sell for big money from 16,000 euro up. When the customer came to pick it up the front desk gave them a note I had done and they had no idea about who or what it was and then asked him how they should clean it, he came and asked me and I said, tell them "by bringing it back in about 5 years time for a service". Now the clock itself has a flaw, have a look and see if you can pick it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your basement is the most versatile space in your home, but it must be treated like any other room. It needs to be protected. Whether you use your basement as an additional living area or keep it as your personal storage space, its contents are meaningful. To keep your basement at its best, you must make sure it stays free from moisture. But during rainy or snowy weather, keeping your basement dry can prove difficult. The same is true if a water pipe bursts or an appliance hook-up leaks in your basement. When such issues arise, you can count on the proven professionals from Rapid Rooter Plumbing to get your basement and its contents dry once again.
Flooding is a common occurrence during rainy weather. Once water has found its way into your home, your initial goal is to remove it. But when the water reaches your basement, removing the liquid is much more difficult than it is from a ground floor or an upstairs floor. Because of where your basement is located, it is difficult to carry the water up and out of your home. Keeping the area dry is also tricky. If you leave moisture in your basement, several issues could surface. Among them:
These issues will not only put your home at risk but your health as well. A flooded basement also scuttles any plan to use the area as an extra storage or living area.
At Rapid Rooter Plumbing, we can help you clean up from a basement flood or help you take preventive measures to make sure one does not occur. Through our plumbing services, we can protect your basement against a water-related disaster. We can equip it with a sump pump to lower the likelihood of flooding and, if necessary, we can perform plumbing overflow cleanups to get you back where you want to be. Give us a call at 585-209-5153 or contact us online to get a free estimate or learn more about our services in Buffalo and Rochester, New York.

When popular American basketball player, LaMelo Ball, gave the public a peek into his love life, it was both a plus and minus for his suddenly-famous teen girlfriend, Ashley Alvano. With more popularity came the propensity for backlash. Who knows? It could've been the fuel for their split shortly afterward. Breakup notwithstanding, Alvano already found herself in the spotlight and has since become a subject of much interest from fans and foes. Here is a detailed biography of her including facts from the relationship that made her famous.
Ashley Alvano's Bio, Age
Ashley Alvano was born in California, the USA on the 21st of December, 2000. Although American, Alvano's roots could be traced back to Asia. While her relationship with LaMelo Ball put her in the public eye, Alvano seems to have succeeded in keeping her details about her childhood, early education, parents or what they do for a living, off the public eye. At best, only speculations can be made about her formal educational background.
Seeing how well she communicates to her fans and followers, it's highly probable she had a formal education; even though there are no specifics about where she attended High School or her college education. When it gets public, we're sure to let you know first. Also, we want to believe that Ashely Alvano, still a teenager as of 2019 is diligently pursuing her education, however, the specifics remain unclear though.
Net Worth
As of early 2019, sources reveal no details about Ashely Alvano's net worth or her annual take home. However, her soaring popularity on Instagram will soon make it an income stream for the beautiful lady, that's if it's not so already. In the meantime, her ex-boyfriend earns a whole lot from his basketball and TV careers. Plus, the youngster is a successful entrepreneur with his own fashion shoe line, the Melo Ball One. According to sources, the shoes cost around $395. So far the incredible sales earn him no less than $300,000 annually. According to sources, his net worth is estimated at $4 million. He boats over 4 million followers on Instagram.
Boyfriend or Husband
Long before her relationship with the young basketball player, Ashley Alvano had been active on social media; albeit less announced and celebrated. Plus, she hardly garnered many followers. But as pictures of Alvano continued to surface on his page, it didn't take long before LaMelo's fans got to know something was cooking up. Then he confirmed it. How?
For some time now, the Ball family feature in a web TV series, Ball in the Family. The show chronicles the life of their father, LaVar Ball, his wife, Tina, and their three sons; LaMelo inclusive.
That fateful day, the series aired a birthday episode to mark LaMelo's 16th birthday. It was the perfect platform to reveal the woman in his life, and the basketball star didn't disappoint his fans. At the time of the revelation, they started dating in September 2017. Consequently, Alvano's fame shot over the roof. LaMelo's fan base became hers, and that was a whole lot of following for a once-obscure teenage girl.

Unfortunately, their relationship ran its course in November of that year. But her celebrity-status had come to stay. From barely 40k followers on Instagram, Alvano now has over 144k followers. However, she's not on Twitter or Facebook. In the many pictures she's uploaded since that time, Ashley Alvano hasn't shared much about her family; siblings, relatives or parents. Nevertheless, she blended more with the Ball brothers; LiAngelo and Lonzo. Like their brother, LaMelo, they also play professional basketball. She also befriended their girlfriends, Isabella Morris, and Denise Gracia.
Height and Body Measurement
Judging from her picturesque looks and build, Ashley Alvano would easily pass for a model. So far, it isn't clear if she intends to venture that far, but if she does, she'll be a worthy competition for existing young models and she doesn't fail to prove it. Her social media feeds are awash with incredible pictures; revealing her as a fitness freak who is dedicated to looking good. She stands 5 feet 5 inches tall; has brown hair and bluish-grey eyes.

The power that Israel didn't have
|Filed under Sabbath Thoughts
Ancient Israel was abundantly familiar with God's Word—more than any other people in history. Yet, with few exceptions, the Israelites failed to steadfastly live by their Creator's instructions. Though God gave them knowledge of His ways, He did not, while they lived, give them the inner strength they needed to consistently control their fleshly nature. The apostle Paul described his fellow Jews this way: "I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge" (Romans 10:2). (more…)

Kerri-Anne Kennerley has slammed opposition leader Bill Shorten in a scathing attack on Studio Ten.
The veteran TV host did not hold back at all, saying, "If Bill Shorten gets in, it's the end of life as we know it."
Kerri-Anne's comments shocked her fellow panellist, with host Sarah Harris even exclaiming: "Tell us what you really think!",
The 64-year-old slammed the Labor party's plan to set up a taxpayer-funded Gender Centre to support transgender people.
"One thing I'm seriously outraged about, the millions and millions they'll spend on a Gender Commission," she said.
"These kids out there who are gender confused, and there's a percentage of people out there gender confused, they will put up this Commission and we, like Tasmania, will have a child and it won't be male or female, it will be gender-free."
Later, she revealed that the Labor party had emailed her, accusing her of spreading "fake news".
"Earlier this morning, Kerri-Anne... fake news on your program, Labor spending 'millions and millions' to set up a Gender Commission," the email read.
"Standing corrected", the TV host then added: "Apparently they're not spending millions and millions, because they haven't costed it yet."
Then she took aim at Shorten's plan to remove tax breaks for property investors.
"He'll put in negative gearing... no more investment into houses so your rent will go up," she said.
The most shocking proclamation of all came when Kennerley attacked the party's plan to reduce the cost of cancer care, calling it "all smoke and mirrors".
"Throwing money at cancer is just feeding the chooks," she said.
"Don't believe it. Dig a little deeper. Just dig a little deeper.
"Anybody who believes they'll be better off if Shorten and the Greens get in is under some whoopy-do cloud. It will never, ever happen. You will tank."
The federal election will be held this Saturday May 18, with both leaders working overtime on the campaign to fight for every single vote.
Currently, Labor maintains a narrow lead over Liberal, with the latest polling showing the opposition leads 51-49.
Scott Morrison is still ahead as preferred prime minister, leading Shorten 45-38.

In stochastic treatments of the ERRB set-up, it is equivalent to impose Bell\'s inequalities, a local causality condition, or a certain \"non-contextual hidden variables\" condition. But these conditions are violated by quantum mechanics. On the other hand, it is possible to view quantum mechanics as part of \"quantum measure theory\", a generalization of probability measure theory that allows pair wise interferences between histories whilst banning higher order interference. In this setting, is may be possible find quantum analogues of the three stochastic conditions.
Following this line of inquiry, we will see that quantum measure theory allows no stronger violations of Bell\'s inequalities than does standard quantum theory. We also gain some insights into how to define causality in quantum theory.

Kavi Guppta is a social media producer at advertising and marketing firm Thindata 1:1. Simply put, he writes ad copy to spread around the web.
Q. How did you end up in this field?
A. I didn't exactly choose to be a copywriter; I really just wanted to be a writer. Given that the profession doesn't exactly offer much monetary reward, there are usually two good ways for writers to make money: advertising or writing textbooks. Textbooks are boring, so I went with advertising.
Q. Describe your education. Did it help you land your job?
A. I started out at York University in the professional and creative writing program. It was okay, but I realized early on that if I wanted to get ahead of my peers and land a job in my market, I'd have to start a lot earlier. So I left school to pursue a job in advertising. School didn't really help at all, and if anything, my participation in the work force made me a better student. I really did learn more by being in the real world, than being in some classroom.
I'm back at school now, but I do my courses via correspondence online because my job is pretty demanding. There isn't much room to attend classes and meet deadlines in advertising.
There really is no specific educational path for copywriters or writers. I mean, you can take the relevant courses in college or university, but they certainly can't teach creativity. I'm not saying I'm a great, amazing writer, but if you're looking for a real path into this world, I highly suggest you get in there and get your hands dirty. You'll be doing a lot of grunt work in the beginning, but it'll pay off.
Q. What is a typical day on the job like?
A. Meetings. Lots and lots of meetings. Client meetings, team meetings—they never end. But, they can be pretty awesome. The team I work with is very collaborative, and we're all on the same level. We can sit in a room for a couple of hours and bang out some great ideas that get presented to clients.
A lot of people think that being a copywriter means you're just in this room hammering out really creative taglines and body copy. But it's really a lot of briefing, preparing and writing presentations because your skills in language aids in selling clients your business. It's not all Mad Men.
Q. What is the best part of your job?
A.The best part of my job is getting to work with so many different brands, and helping them reach out to new and existing customers through innovative ways. Copywriting isn't just about formulating words; it's about creating a great brand experience.
I get to work with brands in all sorts of sectors, and having that ability to transfer your skills from industry to industry is really important. One day you could be working with a clothing giant, and the next day you might be working with a large automotive company. You learn a lot about the different industries and their place in society by being so involved in the brand.
Q. What is the most challenging part of your job?
A. I don't know really. The whole job is challenging. That's what makes it so great. Every day you have to face a new problem for a client, and somehow find a solution. It's not easy at all, and it's very demanding of you—but it's worth it. At the end of the day, you've helped a company or service do something for their customers, or you've helped customers connect with the brand.
It's a high-pressure industry, and it's also a very competitive one. So staying ahead of everyone else is important, too.

Senior Republicans have been making negative statements concerning Donald Trump after he gained a 7-state victory as the party races to pick their presidential flag bearer.
Mr. Trump has declared that he is a unifier but most Republican veterans strongly oppose him.
On Wednesday, Senator Graham Lindsey warned that there is a possibility of Trump losing in the US 2016 election in November.
Former nominee, Mitt Romney, is expected to make a speech on Thursday where there are expectations that he might challenge Donald Trump.
He has fiercely criticized the billionaire who has hard-line stance on issues such as immigration that places him at odds with Republican orthodoxy.
Meanwhile Ben Carson, retired neurosurgeon, has had a dismal performance and thus signaling he may drop out of the race.
In a Wednesday statement, Carson said that there was no "path forward" for him and that he will not be present during the Thursday TV debate.
He did not say whether he will completely end his race.
The victory of Mr. Trump in the "Super Tuesday" elections has cemented his position as the most likely candidate to run for the presidency via the Republican ticket.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz won 3 seats adding to his one to become four. Marco Rubio, Florida Senator, on the other hand won his first seat in the race.
- Donald Trump- 7 states (Republican)
- Ted Cruz- 3 states (Republican)
- Marco Rubio- 1 state (Republican)
- Hillary Clinton- 8 states (Democrat)
- Bernie Sanders- 4 states (Democrat)
Other party leaders like Paul Ryan, House Speaker, and Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Senator, have made comments against Trump's controversies and recent positions.
On the other hand, The Center for Public Integrity said that Republican super PACs made 8,500 advertisements in order to discredit Trump in the Super Tuesday election campaign.
Mr. Graham has made a statement warning that the Republicans stand to lose to Hillary Clinton if at all Donald Trump will be the party's nominee.
He added that they may end up finding themselves in a position where they have to support Ted Cruz but he is not sure that option will produce the results.
Ms. Clinton won 8 states in the Super Tuesday US 2016 election, thus strongly establishing her Democratic race against Bernie Sanders.

This post is specifically geared towards shedding some light on female psychology when it comes to dating.
Looking back at my past lays and almost lays, and analyzing other guys' situations, I realize that the greatest obstacle to getting laid is logistics-not what the girl believes (her beliefs).
A lot of newbies on seduction forums get it twisted also by being swindled into 'taking it slow', respecting her views and values.
Cool- we should respect everyone's views, but when it comes to dating and sex, a woman's views and values mean Nothing…Nada!
Prime example:
Girl tells guy, "I don't sleep with guys on the 1st. date. Not even the 3rd.date".
An AFC or newbie would buy this shit, thus taking such declarations literal.
He being misinformed would then wait,or not go KINO out of fear of rejection, or fear of offending her values on not banging on the 1st. date.
Up and coming dating coaches like myself, we know better than to fall for this BS, so we plow anyway accordingly.
And the spin-off insight here is that chics' frames and beliefs are friggin' pliable and weak!
Humans in general go against what they believe. But with women, going against their values are much more common.
I don't have figure for this so Im only basing it on personal experiences (which is the best teacher).
My point? A woman's frame is weak!
Every woman wants to come off as assertive, strong and firm, but when faced with someone who gets it, she won't mine betraying her previously-held beliefs just for that moment.
So when a chic tells me she doesn't have sex out if wedlock(anymore), that shit flies out the other ear in a heart beat!
Same as when a girl tells me she has a BF and she thinks cheating is a grave sin, I game on just as if she was single.
Having the knowledge that her frame can be beaten and her beliefs and views are bullshit in the moment, I pay no mind to her views.
So the greatest obstacle to getting ass is logistics (bad ones).
I've never had a pick up fucked up because of the girl's belief or that she's celebate or some shit.
But I've had sets fuck up many times because of poor logistics.
Examples of bad logistics fucking up potential lays:
1. After the club, tried taking the girl home but wasn't thinking and forgot to park the car nearby (to kill any backward rationalizing by her)
2. My crib was too friggin dirty
3. Living with my grandma once so couldn't lay the chic in peace.
4. No where to lay her, took her to my uncle's spot but he wasn't home!
I can go on and on and on bro!
Push comes to shove, I'd lay a girl anywhere possible, so logistics have to really be flubbed up if I didn't lay her on a street corner or behind a dumpster.
The lesson here is guys, don't let her views, religion, beliefs deter you from seducing her.
Girls are willing to put their beliefs aside for a good time or for one night.

On the week that the Iowa caucuses finally happened, one man's thoughts on our politics…
Donald Trump
The song played at every Trump rally: Twisted Sister's "We Not Gonna Take It." No surprise.
It's been less than eight years since the start of the Great Recession, the biggest meltdown of our economy since the Great Depression. Although economists say it's over, thousands upon thousands of working-class Americans are still without jobs.
They are slowly twisting in the ill wind of a global economy they don't understand – except for the fact that they are out of work, can't properly provide for their families and face what seems to them a confusing, bleak, and mostly terrible future.
Franklin D. Roosevelt won the 1932 election in a landslide, thanks to the worst economic disaster in American history.
So the obvious question about the Trump campaign for the political pundits is simple: What else did you expect?
To me, the only surprise is that this constituency hasn't gone Democratic, the way it did in the 1930's, or after the Eisenhower recession of the late 1950s. What amazes and worries long-term Republican insiders is the idea that a populist-driven working class might actually wind up taking over the GOP.
Hillary Clinton
One reason Hillary's having trouble generating enthusiasm across the board is the assumption that she had working-class votes locked up through her good relations with organized labor.
But a fair number of labor leaders say it's not at all a sure thing they can automatically deliver the votes of their membership these days – or that workers in general, most of whom are not unionized, are going to vote the way the "experts" think they should.
Moreover, Clinton's record of cozying up to the rich and powerful puts her in terrible proximity – from a working-class standpoint – with the Wall Street folks who brought us the Great Recession and who have benefited more than any other by the widening gap between the enormously wealthy and everybody else. Couple that with the notion that Clinton's natural constituency is the "NPR wing of the Democratic Party," people accustomed to speaking in mostly incomprehensible polysyllables.
In the end, what may be the saving grace for Clinton is her historic record of support for what – until a few years ago – were usually referred to as "minorities," i.e. Latinos, African Americans and women.
Ted Cruz
Iowa looks as though it was designed as a wish fulfillment dream for the Cruz strategists. Though the state usually votes Democratic for president in November, Republican voters tend to be very conservative, very religious and evangelical – quite unlike the GOP voters in states outside the Deep South.
Ted Cruz is very smart – though the U.S. Senator from Texas strikes me as suffering from the worst political disease of all, the I'm-the-smartest-guy-in-the-room malady.
And frankly – would you really trust somebody who boasts that he has memorized the entire Constitution?
The worrisome question that lies at the heart of the Cruz campaign is: Just how important for ordinary voters is doctrinaire allegiance to conservative ideology? I suspect not many, especially working-class folks who are likely to be more worried about where their next paycheck is coming from.
Those folks don't read conservative tracts on political theory, and even if they are disillusioned with Democrats, are likely to regard Fox News mainly as entertainment.
I also find powerful – and significant – that Cruz is, by all accounts, cordially hated by all his Republican colleagues in the Senate.
Bernie Sanders
The folks who most "feel the Bern" are overwhelmingly young, college educated and mostly white. They agree with Clinton that Wall Street caused the Great Recession. They're systemically mad at the centrist coalition that Hillary and Bill Clinton helped lead to control of the Democratic Party, if only because we still have vast unemployment (especially youth), a ragged health care system and disgracefully widening income inequality.
Being mostly young, the fans who have rallied to the senator from Vermont have the luxury of advocating the simple, straightforward "democratic socialism" that their elders thought about and ultimately rejected in the 1930's. As most folks who have been elected to something know full well, what matters is not the purity and power of your ideas… but how you can actually go about getting them accomplished.
Maybe that's just an old man talking, but I remember how strongly I felt for Bobby Kennedy before he was assassinated. That emotion powered me for years. Maybe it will also sustain the Sanders enthusiasts. But this much can't be denied:
Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders weren't supposed to be serious candidates when the talking heads assessed this race a year ago. The fact that they are indeed means something is definitely going on that the establishment didn't see coming.
We may have more surprises yet.

Lamb from the UK will soon be heading to Saudi Arabia in a deal which could be worth £25 million over the next five years.
Saudi Arabian authorities have this week lifted the ban on sheep meat from the UK, following a detailed process to gain access to this new and lucrative market.
Exports of lamb could begin as early as next month once export certification is finalised and released.
The agreement comes following ongoing negotiations and inspections carried out jointly by Defra, the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB), FSA, UKECP, DAERA and APHA.
AHDB International Market Development Director Phil Hadley said it is "great news" for the sheep industry and for lamb processors and producers in the UK who are keen to look at new, non-EU markets.
"The announcement is the result of ongoing and detailed work between all parties and is a testament to the high regard and quality of UK lamb," Mr Hadley said.
The news comes hot on the heels of an agreement to progress lifting the BSE ban on UK beef exports to China, as well as exports of a broader range of dairy products, following the Prime Minister's visit to Beijing earlier this month.

IMF Lays Out Policies for Economic Recovery Amid Elevated Uncertainty
April 12, 2019
- Sub-Saharan Africa's economic recovery continues, but there are considerable differences in countries' growth prospects.
- The softening external environment and need to contain debt vulnerabilities complicates further the challenge of financing development and investment.
- Policies should focus on raising domestic revenues, bolstering trade integration, facilitating investment, raising productivity, and strengthening resilience to shocks.
Sub-Saharan Africa's economic recovery looks set to continue, with growth expected to increase from 3.0 percent in 2018 to 3.5 percent in 2019. Yet, region-wide growth masks wide differences in prospects across countries, the IMF said in its latest Regional Economic Outlook for sub-Saharan Africa report. Some 21 countries, mainly the region's more diversified economies, are expected to grow at more than 5 percent and see income per capita rise faster than the rest of the world on average over the medium term. However, the remaining countries, comprising mostly resource intensive countries, including the largest (Nigeria and South Africa), are expected to see slower improvements in standards of living.
"External and domestic headwinds are weighing on growth prospects", said Abebe Aemro Selassie, Director of the IMF's African Department. "The global expansion is losing steam, including in key trading partners such as China and the euro area; as we see trade tensions persisting; and volatile global financial conditions and commodity prices. Public debt vulnerabilities remain elevated in some countries and non-performing loans remain high, partly due to large public sector domestic arrears."
Mr. Selassie pointed to two broad implications for policies. For the fast-growing economies, such as Benin, Ethiopia, and Senegal, there is need to hand over the reins of growth from the public to the private sector. In many of these countries, public investment had helped spur high growth, while also steadily increasing public debt levels.
In the more resource-intensive and slower growing economies—such as Angola, Nigeria, and South Africa—there is an urgent need to press ahead with much-needed policies to adjust to lower commodity prices and facilitate economic diversification. Prompt action would also help address the policy uncertainties that are holding back growth.
Overall, sub-Saharan African countries need to strike a delicate policy balance between containing public debt levels, investing in human and physical capital, and raising revenue.
This calls for urgent action on the fiscal front to improve tax revenue collection, public financial management, and spending efficiency, and on the trade front to reduce non-tariff barriers and deepen intra-trade integration (including in the context of the African Continental Free Trade Area, AfCFTA).
Reforms are also needed to facilitate greater private investment, raise productivity, including by promoting diversification and export competitiveness, and strengthen resilience to climatic shocks. The crippling effects of Cyclone Idai—decimating physical infrastructure and farmland, and bringing enormous suffering for the 2.6 million people affected in Southeast Africa—underscores the region's vulnerability to weather-related disasters.

Written by Sergio M.
This coming May 26th, Serve the City together with the organizations A La Par and Asociación Antares will have a REvolunteering day, during which the three organizations will participate in basketball-related activities. Since March, STC is promoting revolunteering. and we already announced that on June 2, together with Fundación Alicia and Guillermo, we will once again hold a sandwich route in which both organizations will participate together.
All this is great, but why do REvolunteering? What is its essence? What is it based on
REvolunteering is not only an idea of co-participation between two or more organizations that want a better society, or between people from these entities or disadvantaged groups who want to take the initiative to alleviate the suffering of others, as they have been on the receiving end of selfless aid from other people and now feel empowered to continue the "chain"; this is part of a positive and "natural" reaction to their integration into society and undoubtedly revolunteering is a tool that enhances this integration and normalization into the community in which we live and in which we are all a part of, but there is more.
Its eidetic essence comes from the idea that everyone, any human being, can contribute to "others", however small be the contribution, a part of themselves. Whatever their ethnicity, gender, nationality, religion,… etc., we all have something in common: we belong to the same species. Although this seems to be a truism, it's not if we reflect on the fact that, when watching TV, internet and any other media communication, we see that we are continually being bombarded with news (usually bad news) and programs where we are shown that the cause of many sufferings are due to the supposed irreconcilable differences that exist between us, that in their majority, if not in all the cases, are mental creations without any real value, that we have made up ourselves, through the wonderful human mind and that is mistaken to the see differences where there is only heterogeneity.
We place labels so many things, that we do not see that behind each ideology, skin color, and even soccer team (the list is endless), there is a human being just like you and me, with their joys and sorrows, their dreams and aspirations; it doesn't matter that the differences between us are external or internal, each person, whatever the situation, has a value themselves. We are all unique within the same species, a unity within diversity.
Revolunteering serves to demonstrate in a practical way what was said above, which has also been said by many ancient philosophies and religions that have come to the same conclusion: the best way to understand the "other", to see what we have in common, is to develop and practice compassion, and there are thousands of ways to put it into practice. It is through revolunteering that we can realize that there are no "special" people who help and others who are helped. No; everyone, absolutely everyone, is in the same boat.
Surely this is not as easy as it sounds given the current times, but it is certainly worth trying, we must remember that it isn't a bed of roses… but that is because we are all in the process of planting them.

What type of infection are you dealing with
Search.startbrowser.io redirect virus could be accountable for the changes performed to your browser, and it must have infected your device together with freeware. The reason the hijacker is installed is because you didn't pay enough attention to see that it was attached to some application that you installed. It is crucial that you pay attention to how you install applications because otherwise, these kinds of threats will install over and over again. Search.startbrowser.io is not a high-level threat but its activity will get on your nerves. You'll notice that instead of the page that is set as your home website and new tabs, your browser will now load the hijacker's promoted page. You will also have a different search engine and it may insert advertisement content into results. The redirects are executed so that the owners of those sites could make income from traffic and ads. Do bear in mind that some of those redirects might lead to contaminated sites, which could result in serious infection. The malware contamination that you could get might bring about much more severe consequences, so make sure you avoid it. You may find the redirect virus's provided features beneficial but you need to know that they may be found in real add-ons too, which don't endanger your device. You'll notice more customized content appearing, and if you are wondering why, the browser hijacker is tracking your browsing and collecting data about you. In addition, problematic third-parties may be granted access to that data. All of this is why you are advised to remove Search.startbrowser.io.
Download Removal Toolto remove Search.startbrowser.io
How does it behave
The most likely way you got the browser hijacker was when you were installing free programs. They're unneeded and quite invasive threats, so it's dubious anyone would install them otherwise. Because users do not pay attention to how they install applications, this method permits browser redirects and similar infections to spread. To stop their installation, you have to uncheck them, but because they're concealed, they might not be seen if you rush. By opting Default mode, you could be allowing all kinds of unfamiliar offers to install, so it would be best if you did not use them. Advanced or Custom settings, on the other hand, will make the offers visible. If you do not wish to deal with persistent unknown programs, deselect every box that becomes visible. Only continue with the program installation after you uncheck everything. Preventing the threat from the very beginning can can go a long way to save you a lot time because dealing with it later will be time-consuming. You ought to also stop downloading from untrustworthy web pages, and instead, choose official/legitimate sites/stores.
If a hijacker manages to install, we highly doubt you will not see the signs. Modifications to your browser will be performed without authorization, mainly your homepage, new tabs and search engine will be changed to a different site. Leading browsers such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox will probably be altered. The page will load every time you open your browser, and this will continue until you eliminate Search.startbrowser.io from your operating system. You might attempt to nullify the modifications but bear in mind that the hijacker will simply modify everything again. It is also possible that your search engine will be changed, which would mean that whenever you use the browser's address bar, results would be generated from the browser hijacker's set search engine. It is probable you will come across search results containing advertisement content, since the infection is intending to redirect you. Site owners frequently use browser redirects to boost traffic and earn more income, which is why redirects are occurring. After all, increased traffic means more people on adverts, meaning more money. You will be able to tell the difference between those and real web pages without issues, primarily because they will not match your search query. In certain cases, they might appear to be legitimate, so for example if you were to search 'computer', results with dubious links might come up but you would not know in the beginning. Take into account that hijackers might also redirect to infected web pages, which can result in you acquiring a serious infection. Redirect viruses also like to keep an eye on peoples' Internet activity, collecting certain data. You need to find out if unfamiliar third-parties will also get access to the data, who might use it to create adverts. After some time, you may notice more customized sponsored content, if the browser hijacker uses the gathered info. While the infection won't directly endanger your system, you need to still delete Search.startbrowser.io. And after the process is completed, there should be no issues with changing browser's settings.
Search.startbrowser.io uninstallation
If you want your browsing to go back to normal, you will have to erase Search.startbrowser.io, and the quicker you do it, the better. Manual and automatic are the two possible methods for disposing of the hijacker, neither of which ought to bring about issues. Manual method means you will need to identify and take care of the threat yourself. If you have never dealt with this type of thing before, we have provided guidelines below this report to help you, we can reassure you that the process shouldn't be hard, although it might take more time than you expect. They should help you take care of the threat, so follow them accordingly. It should not be the first option for those who do not have much experience with computers, however. In that case, obtain anti-spyware software, and allow it to get rid of the threat for you. The program will scan your computer for the threat and once it spots it, you just have to allow it to eliminate the hijacker. You have successfully gotten rid of the infection if you can modify your browser's settings without the redirect virus meddling. If the same web page keeps loading even after modifying the settings, the hijacker is still present. It is rather annoying dealing with these types of threats, so better prevent their installation in the future, so pay attention when installing software. Good tech habits can do a lot in keeping your computer out of trouble.Download Removal Toolto remove Search.startbrowser.io

Porthcawl - Sker Beach and Pink Bay
Beach, free entry
COVID-19 Coronavirus: Outdoor attractions/activities will be able to reopen for 'day visitors' from the 6th July 2020 - Please check before travelling
Pink Bay is something of a hidden Porthcawl gem; very popular with local walkers, wildlife enthusiasts and surfers. It has a steep pebble bank leading down to the golden sands. The rocks at the top of the beach have a unique pink marbling effect in a certain light, hence the name Pink Bay. This beach is accessible via a 15 minute walk from Rest Bay along a boardwalk adjacent to the Royal Porthcawl Golf Club; it is a rural beach and as such has no toilets or other amenities. A monument to the crew of the Mumbles Lifeboat and the SS Samtampa – a 7,000 ton wrecked steamship - is visible at low tide on nearby Sker point.
Sker Beach is the most westerly of Porthcawl's beaches and is only accessible by walking from Rest Bay or the Kenfig National Nature Reserve. Generally sandy and flat, it is mostly used by locals, making it one of the quieter beaches in Porthcawl. Like Pink Bay beach, it is classed as rural and as such has no toilets or other amenities.
Dogs are allowed on both beaches all year round.
Open all the time
Free entry
Sker Beach is a 20 minute walk from Rest Bay. Leave the M4 at Junction 37 and follow signs for Porthcawl town centre. At a roundabout after 3 miles, take 3rd exit (right) onto Newton Nottage Rd, which soon becomes Fulmar Rd, following signs for Rest Bay & Nottage. Follow this for 0.75 mile; Fulmar Rd does a sharp left and becomes Mallard Way West. After 200m, turn sharp right and after about 500m, there's a car park by the Rest Bay lifeguard station.

Key summary
- There is currently a monumental crackdown on pollution in China
- China's government is taking a proactive approach in regulating environmental laws
- Gelato's commitment to reducing print volume and wastage - along with radically cutting delivery distances - fits with the country's environmental focus
There is a major pollution crackdown underway in China. The scale of which has attracted media attention from around the world and has been big news here.
What is happening? Well, the Chinese government - which has been taking an increasingly proactive approach to regulating environmental laws - is taking tough action on those failing to meet emission requirements.
Up to 40% of all China's factories are said to have been shut down at some point in order to be properly inspected by environmental bureau officials and more than 80,000 factories are believed to have been reprimanded, fined or had officials charged with criminal offenses.
The move is primarily impacting the manufacturing industry but is representative of China's general focus on reducing pollution and increased environmental consciousness.
When Gelato launched in China, we recognised that environmental concerns throughout the country were on the rise. As a result, the '90/50 vision' we share with clients - reducing shipping distances by 90% and reducing print volumes by 50% - made our a business a good fit for the country.
Read more: Why 90 and 50 will make a huge difference when managing your marketing material
As Gelato enables companies to produce their prints close to where they're actually needed, it helps radically cut delivery distances and the associated Co2 emissions. Rather than printing centrally and shipping to many offices, the materials are printed close to delivery by printers in the Gelato Network.
For example, our eco-friendly print service helped global manufacturer Zehnder Group cut its print delivery distances by 87%, which led to an estimated 81% reduction of CO2 emissions.
By being able to order prints and have them delivered quickly (on demand), there is also no need to over-order, just in case more are needed. In a Gelato commissioned PwC study, average excess-print was found to be 20-25% alone. Reducing volume reduces emissions caused by paper and pulp, along with landfill waste.
Locally producing marketing material is much more aligned with China's focus on pollution reduction and increased environmental consciousness. It is also much more efficient and helps avoid other challenge such customs (if importing) and global brand consistency (through Gelato's brand management software).
