When it comes to ranking in search engine results pages (SERPs), the way to rank highly attracts both ethical and unethical SEO practices. Most SEO practitioners understand both viewpoints, however not all of them practice ethical SEO. It's common for some to use the "whatever it takes" approach and use unethical SEO practices, such as keyword stuffing, hidden links, and duplicate tags to fit their needs.
Unethical equals ineffective SEO
Google is unfaltering in its goal to supply searchers with the most relevant and helpful results because if they don't, they risk losing users to other search engines that provide better results—getting Google to evolve into the giant that it is now—to the public's benefit. If you take a step back and look at where Google is headed, you'll see that the search engine is relentless in its pursuit to comb out these unethical practices. Thus, the risk of continuing to use these unscrupulous tactics is high, with Google closing in on black hat practitioners.
So what is ethical SEO?
Ethical SEO is based on ensuring that the focus of your web design is on using the right words and phrases that people use as search terms. This is then combined with the technical aspects that ensure best practices are observed. Put simply, ethical SEO is about boosting your search engine rankings naturally. If you want to survive in the Internet arena, work with a web design company that puts ethical SEO practices first and foremost.

The health of the body can most of the times be determined by a number of visible effects on the appearance of the person. You have probably heard of how different areas of the skin on your face and body indicate the health of different organs.
For example, pimples on the forehead often indicate the reduced amount of water indicate or consumption of high sugar specifically sugary carbohydrates in a large amount on a daily basis for most people.
The internal health of the body affects most of the parts of the physical appearance in addition to the skin such as the nails.
If you look at a child or baby's hands and nails, you can feel how the texture and colors are different from your own.
Usually, the nails of children are healthy with a tint of pinkish red in them. They are also more shiny and smooth in comparison with the nails of adults or even most of the teenagers in today's times.
Brittle and dry nails are a common complaint among the people. Sometimes this condition of the nails can occur solely due to lack of moisture.
How do the nails lose moisture? It is probably the most significant and easy to see an example of this is the nails of someone who washes a lot of dishes. Or just look at the hands of anyone in your family who shares the responsibility of the house.
Continuous exposure to water and dishwashing soap can deprive the nails of their natural moisture primarily due to the harsh chemicals that you might not know happen to be in the soap's formula.
On the contrast, brittle nails can sometimes indicate serious problems in the body and should not be taken lightly especially if you are not involved in any activity like washing dishes but still get them.
What are brittle nails?
In accordance with the statistics, brittle nails are quite common and can be a result of everyday activities though women are reported to have them more often in comparison with the men.
Nearly 20% of the women alone in the United States have reported having brittle nails without any serious causes because healthy nails becoming dry is usually not that big of a deal given that nails become more sensitive as the process of aging starts.
The nails on hands and toes are both made up of layers of the protein known as Keratin. You have probably heard of the popularity of Keratin, also known as the beauty protein due to its immense benefits for skin, hair, and nails.
Keratin is what makes the nails smooth in texture and prevents coloring spots in them. People with healthier nails tend to have a good amount of keratin in their nails.
Keratin is a protein and can, therefore, be affected by some of the harsh daily activities. Washing hands in hot water can hurt the nails and cause them to be brittle.
You have probably noticed brittle nails are more common in winter when hot showers are preferred over cold ones by most of the people.
The nails on the toes are reportedly much stronger than the ones on hands which is why any signs of damage occur firstly on your hands. Brittle nails peel off and break away easily and can also not be caused by your routine activities.
What are the symptoms of brittle nails?
In some cases, people do not even realize their nails have become brittle and dry and they just keep wondering why do their nails break or chip so easily. It is due to the fact that sometimes telling the difference between brittle and healthy nails can be difficult.
Whether it is the toenails or fingernails that are affected, the following are the signs you should look out for:
- Longitudinal ridging
- Peeling (typically at the ridges)
- Increased chipping and breaking of nails
- Splits at the ends of the nails
- Problems in growing the nails
What are the causes of the brittle nails?
As mentioned before, brittle nails are prevalent among the people and do not usually indicate the signs of some other issue most of the times.
Something as trivial as overexposure to water and chemicals, overusing of nail polish remover or wearing nail paint for long periods of times can lead to the weakening of the nails.
There are cases where all of these can occur at the same time as well. Women usually are more likely to get brittle nails due to a combination of these factors in comparison with men.
Once the reason behind brittle nails is identified, you can simply treat them by an over the counter ointment and preventing the activity or wear gloves while performing it. Most of the times, the result are visible in less than a week.
In addition to these minor factors leading to brittle nails, some other of your habits or body conditions can affect the nails too. Following are some of the other reasons behind brittle nails:
- Thyroid diseaseThe most visible signs of a thyroid disease are brittle nails following a lot of hair loss. Hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism can both contribute to damaging your nails considerably.
Statistically, women are more likely to have hypothyroidism which means the thyroid is not producing enough hormones.
One of the functions of the hormones produced by the thyroid is to regulate body sweat. Lack of sweat production is one of the reasons nails lose their moisture content and grow brittle and dry.
- Nail Psoriasis
- Lichen planus
- Iron and Calcium deficiencies
The important question of whether nutritional deficiencies can affect your nails was recently answered by American Osteopathic College of Dermatology along with others in their researches which showed Iron and Calcium deficiency are more likely to be behind brittle nails.
The studies carried out also observed the minor difference between brittle toenails and brittle fingernails. In accordance with the study, if the toenails seem to be healthy when the fingernails seem brittle, external factors are typically responsible.
RELATED: Iron Deficiency (Anemia) In Women – Reasons and Prevention
- Reactive arthritis (rare but possible)
- Fungal nail infectionsAnother common cause can be fungus attacks on the nails. This condition is usually not serious unless you ignore it for a long time and occurs more on the toenails rather than the fingernails because of specific reasons.
A fungus growth within the nails is linked to overexposure to moisture and water. Most of the people who have habits of wearing socks right after a shower before leaving for work have higher chances of getting a fungal infection in their toenails.
This is the only reason that affects men more than women.
- Trauma
While most of the times brittle nails are not an underlying factor of a serious body condition, it is important to see a doctor if brittle nails accompany other changes in the nails such as in the color, shape and their separation from the skin.
Bleeding, pain, swelling or numbness of the nails can be effects of other diseases such as diabetes and can worsen if not treated properly. Do not use topical creams on fingernails or toenails if you see any of these symptoms as they can make the situation work instead of improving it.
Other things to keep in mind include your water and daily diet intake that can affect the moisture in your nails. Climate and weather-induced nails can be avoided effectively by protection.
If you can, try and wear gloves when you head outside in a harsh weather or when you are doing an activity that can damage the nails but do not forget to give them enough air either. Balancing is the key to avoiding regular brittle nails.

Happy "pretend" mouse day since I know a lot of people don't like "real" mice...like I don't like them. And it really isn't Mouse Day at all. Just had to throw a drawing in and this mouse was available...It was a nice weekend. A good Sunday as I helped corral 20 nursery kids at church on Sunday in Nursery. That was entertaining. For the first hour, I was the designated "lap" for a couple of insecure kids. They kept coming back to me to sit on my lap. My legs started to lose their circulation after a bit but it was okay. (I was on the floor with my legs to the side of me.) They are sweet kids. Even a little girl named Emma came to sit on my lap for a little bit. She doesn't smile all that much but I think I got a little smile out of her once. Yay!
And I have to add that at Sunday dinner at Karen and Alan's, Wy came up with a great idea..."cookies for dinner". You can tell that he thought that was the best idea and could not understand why mom and dad said no to that. He cried huge alligator tears that they wouldn't go for his idea. After about an hour he finally calmed down.
Happy Monday!

Ozzy Osbourne Quotes About GivingQuotes about: Giving
I grew up having to piss in a bucket 'cos there was no indoor shitter, and now I have these computerised Japanese super-loo things that have heated seats and wash and blow-dry your arse at the touch of a button. Give it a couple of years and I'll have a bog with a robot arm that pulls out my turds, so I don't have to strain.
I love my wife. We've had a few slings and arrows across the room, but I'm not prepared to give in, you know? People say she saved my life, but at the same time, I saved her life, as well, I think. She's a great mother, she's a great wife, she's a great worker, she's a great manager. She's just great.

Can you build a "Green" House with Straw Bales? Photos
Going Green invites a whole new approach to housing.
We learn to think of our home as a place to live
rather than an investment. Straw bale construction
is a way to use farmers waste products to build a very large,
well insulated home with combined electric and heating bills of
around $20 per month. (see the video)

Evolution Dance Theatre
Evolution Dance Theatre also known as EDT is a federally registered not-for-profit Canadian company that develops, promotes and performs original Middle Eastern-inspired multimedia and multidisciplinary spectacles to both entertain and provoke dialogue on social, spiritual and humanistic
The company is committed to producing unique, one-of-a-kind performances which are visceral, visually captivating and have broad universal appeal. Evolution Dance Theatre has a mandate to entertain, educate and inspire. In addition the company emphasizes Women's empowerment and
showcases multiculturalism while maintaining heritage.
EDT utilizes Middle Eastern dance forms in combination with a variety of other dance genres to tell stories that cross boundaries of gender and generations to bridge the global gap of cultural interchange and to reinforce the universality of the human condition. EDT showcases original stories
that reveal the Middle Eastern traditions and display the rich and colourful culture that is so mysterious to many of the Western world.
Unlike other belly dance-inspired productions, Evolution Dance Theatre uses dance as a canvas to create a spectacle that incorporates music, performance, video, special effects and other dance genres to create a one-of-a-kind storytelling experience while celebrating diversity.
Evolution Dance Theatre's core values of Unity, Universality and Integrity are reflected strongly in all of its productions as well as in the spirit of the company.
With the expertise and solid commitment of Keshishian EDT president, the company has produced and brought to the stage four successful Middle Eastern-inspired shows in Toronto since 2006.
Evolution Dance Theatre – Behind the Veil … the costumes and set design were gorgeous. And Keshishian's wide choice of music was solid.
Board of Directors
Armineh Keshishian: President & Artistic Director
The founder of Evolution Dance Theatre Armineh Keshishian brings the discipline and skills she practices daily in her professional life as a Certified Financial Planner to her role as the visionary behind these productions.
Speaking about the inspiration behind Evolution Dance Theatre and its unique, Middle Eastern-themed productions, Armineh says "my work is influenced by the context of my upbringing: the fact I was born Christian and raised in a Muslim country. This has given me an insight into these two different worlds, of what is allowed and what is not. The stories are influenced by the fact that my mother was an independent woman who encouraged me to have a higher education and be financially independent, and yet she, herself was a woman of tradition. Because I did not want to follow the traditional rules and regulations as a socially obliging Middle Eastern girl I went on to find my path as an artist and as a woman who can express herself."
For Armineh Keshishian, dance is an outlet that has allowed her to celebrate her life journey and foster greater understanding of complex cultural issues. Finding her way to the stage, Armineh's passion for dance and performance began as a young child. Armineh has had an extensive performing and choreographic career, spanning more than twenty years. She has performed on the stage as a theatre actress starting in the 1980's including "The Odd Couple" and she was the featured dancer at the Royal Ontario Museum opening exhibit of Egypt. She was also the featured performer in the production of "Three Ladies of Baghdad" where story tellers told the story of 1001 Nights through interactive dance and performance.
Armineh has incorporated her creative skills with her financial knowledge and has committed herself to dance theatre. "I like to express my body not in an isolated form as an individual expression but as a cultural awareness, a story or a history where I am connected to the world" she says.
Keshishian has created and produced a number of multidisciplinary and multimedia productions and she adds "By creating Evolution … of the Human Kind, my objective was to show the differences of power in its variations such as implied power vs. true power where the latter comes from within". "And with behind the Veil "another creation, she adds "I approach the story as a current phenomenon with a reflection on the past". Keshishian's personal experience with art and the traditions of the Middle East adds authenticity to these shows and her career in finance has provided the fiduciary skills and discipline needed to present successful dance theatre productions.
She adds; "I strive to create cultural fusion through art. I like to tell current Middle Eastern stories that have universal appeal. My aim is to bring people and cultures together by focusing on our commonalities vs. our differences."

Nicholas Stirling brings performing, composing and studio recording experience through his LuxuriaMusic studio.

Barcelona, the unique city of modern art and architecture
that exudes an old-world charm.
Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, enjoys a culture that is distinct from the rest of Spain. As a region that came under Spanish control less than a century ago, it maintains its own unique identity with its language, cuisine, and geography that is reflective of its strong modernist aesthetics, whilst being a home to heterogeneous communities from around the world. With our Barcelona City Guide, DSSC helps you explore this exciting city.
Drop By Here
Gaudí's Architecture
One of the biggest attractions in all of Spain is the modernista and neo-Gothic architecture of Antoni Gaudí which is reflected in both civil and religious constructions. Gaudí's work takes inspiration from the architecture of Persia, India, Japan, the Gothic revival in France, and from nature. These inspirations are integrated with craftwork that includes ceramics, stained glass, carpentry, and wrought iron forging. Some of the most prominent examples of Gaudí's unique architecture are Casa Batlló, Casa Milà, Park Güell, Casa Vicens, and the largest unfinished Roman Catholic Church in the world, the Sagrada Família.
#DSSCTopTip: Before embarking on your journey, check out Hiroshi Teshigahara's documentary Antonio Gaudi (1984) to gain some insight into the life and works of the architect.
La Rambla
Barcelona is best explored on foot, and La Rambla is the best place to do so. Located in central Barcelona, this 1.2 km promenade is comprised of a series of shorter streets that connect Catalonia Square with the Christopher Columbus monument. Enjoy evening performances at the Liceu Opera House, admire the beauty of the 19th century Font de Canaletes, and partake in the local cultural activities related to visual and performing arts at the Virreina Palace, Centre d'Art Santa Mònica, and Barcelona's oldest theatre, Teatre Principal.
To the east of this bustling tourist attraction lies the old city of Barcelona, the Gothic Quarter, which houses the night-time tourist attraction, Plaça Reial (the Royal Plaza); street lamps designed by Gaudí; and the Cathedral of Santa Eulàlia. To the west of La Rambla is El Raval, a racially diverse enclave that is home to several bars, restaurants, and nightclubs. Its other attractions include the Monastery of Sant Pau del Camp, the Centre of Contemporary Culture of Barcelona, Gaudí´s Güell Palace, and a large statue of a cat by Fernando Botero.
Museums and Galleries
Whilst in El Raval, head to the MACBA (the Contemporary Art Museum of Barcelona), which has a collection of over five thousand works of art, all of which were created after 1945. The southern end of this neighbourhood, Port Vell, is also home to the Maritime Museum of Barcelona, where one can learn about the history of the Spanish Navy, stretching all the way back to the early days of colonial expansion. The Fundació Joan Miró in Parc de Montjuïc exhibits over 225 paintings, 150 sculptures, and around 5000 sketches by Miró. The MNAC (National Museum of Art of Catalonia) preserves Catalan Art from the 12th to 20th centuries, and has also salvaged twenty-one murals dating back to the 10th century from falling to ruins. Finally, pay a visit to the Museu Picasso, a gallery that showcases artwork attributed to Pablo Picasso during his formative years.
Get in on the act
Music Festivals
Barcelona is fast emerging as a hub for music festivals headlined by some major names in the industry. The Sónar Music Festival, started in 1994, is a three-day electronic music festival, and garnered a footfall of over 1,23,000 people who came from 101 countries in 2017. Past performers include Björk, Janelle Monáe, Skrillex, The Chemical Brothers, Nicolas Jaar, and FKA Twigs. For indie music buffs, Primavera Sound is one of the best experiences in Europe. Past performers at this five-day fiesta have included Arcade Fire, Glass Animals, The xx, Bon Iver, and Frank Ocean.
FC Barcelona
Football enthusiasts can enjoy a match at FC Barcelona's home stadium, Camp Nou. Completed in 1957, it is the largest football stadium in all of Europe, and has hosted several Champions League, UEFA Cup, and FIFA World Cup matches.
By the sea
The lively neighbourhood of La Barceloneta is renowned for its sun, sand, and surf-friendly waves. Visitors can also participate in extreme water sports such as windsurfing and kite-surfing, before heading to the local chiringuitos (seaside huts) to partake of fresh seafood, vermouth, or beer. On the other end of the spectrum are Ocata, Bogatell, and Mar Bella, which offer the luxury of more space, privacy, and safety. Visitors can sunbathe, play volleyball, enjoy the sunrise and the sunset, and have a tranquil experience. For the adventurous souls, certified scuba diving guides lead excursions to the marine reserves of the Mediterranean.
Lose Some Wallet Weight
La Boqueria
Ranked by CNN as the best fresh food market in the world, Mercat de Sant Josep de la Boqueria originated as a pig market in the 13th century, but was recognised legally only in 1826. Located on La Rambla, it is a popular stopover for lunch, the ingredients of which are directly sourced from the butchers greengrocers, cheesemongers, and fishmongers nearby.
Passeig de Gràcia
Situated in the district of Eixample is Passeig de Gràcia, the best-known shopping and commercial centre of Barcelona. It is also the most expensive street in Spain. It is notable for its buildings that were designed by four of Barcelona's most eminent modernista architects. Stroll through the shopping street for several designer boutiques as well as international fashion houses for that makeover of a lifetime.
Mercat de Sant Antoni and Encants Vells Flea Market
Designed in 1882 by Antoni Rovira i Trias, the Sant Antoni market sells everything from fresh food to clothes to homewares during the weekdays, and morphs into a collector's paradise over the weekend. On Sundays, visitors can buy second-hand books, stamps, coins, postcards, comics, and magazines. Barcelona's Encants Vells Flea Market is one of the oldest flea markets in Europe. Housing 500 stalls, the shopping complex designed by Fermin Vázquez stands out for its architecture, and sells antique goods and vintage charms.
So pack your bags and embrace the most lively adventure of your life.

From a photography standpoint, this session kept me on my toes for how many times the sun peaked out through the clouds and quickly went away again. I'm just glad that I was able to capture some intentional sun flares mixed with some stunning backlighting on Jessa's gorgeous blonde hair.
Jessa + Connor are so sweet to be around and are so down-to-earth. When I think of Jessa, I think of a Disney princess– she is incredibly kind, smart, and the sweet way she talks made me feel happy just to listen to her.
I asked a lot from Connor during this session and I really admired how willing he was to do a little manual labor or something that felt silly to get some of these adorable shots. I'd like to think that Connor did all of this for me…
*insert narcissistic hair flip*
…. but all three of us know it was to make Jessa smile, which is incredibly selfless and sweet.
I can't wait to work with Jessa + Connor again, but until then, don't mind me as I run (literally, run) to H&M to get the cute polkadot dress that Jessa wore to her session!!!
P.S. Show these two some love and share your favorite photo(s) from their session in the comments below 🙂

ESR12 Eider Valle Encinas
Project Description
We aim to determine whether the cancer-inducing loss of Axin1 and Axin2 proteins in the liver is mediated by changes to cell polarity.
3D liver organoid cultures generated from mice with Cre-loxP flanked alleles of Axin1 and Axin2 will be used to study the effects of deleting both anti-oncogenes. Cell biological, biochemical and gene expression studies will be used to identify the mechanisms by which Axin loss leads to cellular transformation. A particular focus will be paid to alterations in mitotic spindle orientation since Axin and its binding partners APC, b-catenin and GSK3 have previously been shown to associate with components of the centrosomal complexes and deregulation of physiological spindle-orientation in stem cell vs. progenitor decisions has been suggested to be a key step in oncogenesis.
To determine whether the cancer-inducing loss of Axin1 and Axin2 proteins in the liver is mediated by changes to cell polarity.
Summary of Results
Eider Valle Encinas carried out a detailed series of molecular and histological analyses of biliary-derived organoids to investigate their utility as an in vitromodel of hepatocyte biology. She demonstrated that the organoids were unable to recapitulate any aspect of metabolic zonation; a key feature that is regulated by Wnt signalling in the liver lobule. This work will be an important corrective for the organoid field since it definitively demonstrates that the organoids should not be considered to be 'liver organoids'. By contrast and in collaboration with the Beatson Institute and Edinburgh University, the ESR identified many similarities between the organoid system and the differentiative processes that rescue liver function following chronic liver damage. The ESR also used primary hepatocytes and a novel organoid system in which true hepatocytes are maintained in culture to demonstrate Wnt-dependent regulation of zonation markers including selected cytochrome markers and Axin2. In this work, the ESR showed that the regulation of hepatocyte function could be controlled by Wnt- and R-spondin- conjugated beads, recapitulating in vivo interactions between endothelial cells of the Central Vein and hepatocytes.

Promoting emerging initiatives through crowd funding and collective cooperation. Cumulus is definitely the best option for funding creative business plans through a dynamic and innovative platform where companies, small businesses and entrepreneurs obtain needed services, ideas or content by soliciting contributions from a group of selected investors.
Starting a new business, trying to get others to see the same vision as you and, on top of that, adding the process of fundraising could be sometimes overwhelming. That is where Angel Invest (Cumulus) with its guidance of investing crowd funding comes into play.
It is crucial to highlight that Angel Invest (Cumulus)´s idea of crowdfunding differentiates from the rest of websites that offer similar services. Angel Invest´s system of crowdfunding consists of the process of funding a business plan by a community of selected investors contributing to attain a certain monetary goal, project development or acquisition. Angel Invest (Cumulus) centralizes the effort of people willing to invest to network and pool their money with the aim of supporting the best entrepreneur business plan submitted.
The platform is interested in promoting Web-based idea competitions, or inducement prize contests and incentive generic ideas, cash prizes, and an Internet-based platform to facilitate easy idea generation and discussions.
Innovative system in the crowd funding arena
The reason why Angel Invest (Cumulus) is so attractive is that its process substantially varies from the rest of crowdfunding networks. Angel Invest (Cumulus) develops a user-friendly platform that comprises essential tools that help carry out its particular process of crowdfunding:
- A group of investors or people willing to invest come together to pledge funds for a project
- Entrepreneurs submit information and a video as a summary of their business plans.
- The platform conducts a vetting/due diligence work
- An audition is held where investors select the best entrepreneur.
- If the chosen business plan terms and conditions are accepted by the investors, they all participate in the project funding
Advantages of crowdfunding
Free Marketing
Companies, especially small businesses, that have successfully received funds through a crowdfunding portal demonstrated that have a higher likelihood of being successful in marketing their products and services. Thanks to Angel Invest, organizations and entrepreneurs will have access to three key marketing advantages: Firstly, crowdfunding portals provide a great research tool. When people back projects or receive visits to their web page, they can assess and analyze potential demand for their ideas and benchmark their results with the results of other projects similar in the field. Secondly, crowdfunding furnishes a useful promotion tool. People search and back up projects without realizing that when they read texts and access to information an advertising function is being performed. Last but not least, it serves as a marketing channel due to the fact that backers are rewarded with first samples of products.
Brand recognition
When entrepreneurs decide to participate in a crowdfunding site they are not only looking for money but also for brand recognition since they are certainly seen by a wide community of investors. These portals attract consumers who want to be "in the know" about the development of the latest products and services, press and media who struggle to be the first to discover new consumer trends, and professional services firms such as PR firms, ad agencies, and lawyers looking for clients. As a result, companies in crowdfunding websites obtain great publicity for their brands.
New ties and resources
Another advantage of participating in these portals is that access to new resources and connections is much easier and quicker. Depending on the platform chosen, entrepreneurs gain unprecedented access to information, experience and points of contact that can help them meet their needs and grow.
Crowdfunding Market
There are a number of motivations for businesses, entrepreneurs and investors to use crowdsourcing to accomplish tasks, find solutions for problems, or to gather information and thus the platform is expected to have the potential to be a problem-solving mechanism for government and nonprofit use.
Crowdfunding is accelerating at an unprecedented rate and is creating a great impact on government policy, enterprise innovation, and the role of financial institutions around the world. Massolution®, a research firm specializing in the crowdsourcing and crowdfunding industries, released its annual 2013CF – Crowdfunding Industry Report. After collecting data from 308 active crowdfunding platforms (CFPs) worldwide and carrying out an exhaustive research, the results revealed that crowdfunding market grows 81%, crowdfunding platforms raise $2.7 Billion and fund more than one million campaign. It is expected that in 2013 global crowdfunding volumes will exceed $5 billion.
Most Active Categories
At the beginning, Crowdfunding gained popularity with creative, philanthropic and social endeavors. Although this popularity has prevailed, new ventures have gained attention. Categories related to Business and Entrepreneurship, and Energy and Environment are the next highest performing areas:
- Social Causes are most active, driving close to 30% of all crowdfunding activity
- Business & Entrepreneurship (16.9%), and the two major
- Art Categories follow: Films & Performing Arts (11.9%) and Music & Recording Arts (7.5%)
- Energy & Environment (5.9%) is the emerging category among the five most active
In short, the mission of this website is to provide a streamlined platform crowded with ideas, initiatives and services working as guidance for startups and as a one-stop shop for interested investors.

From the entrance, a wide and straight path arrows directly towards the rock, following the line of an imaginary east—west axis, drawn straight through the rock, around which the whole city was planned. This entire side of the city is protected by a broad moat enclosed within two-tiered walls. Crossing the moat (which once enclosed the entire west-facing side of the complex), you enter the Water Gardens. The appearance of this area varies greatly according to how much rain has recently fallen, and in the dry season lack of water means that the gardens can be a little underwhelming. The first section comprises four pools set in a square; when full, they create a small island at their centre, connected by pathways to the surrounding gardens. The remains of pavilions can been seen in (the rectangular areas) to the north and south of the pools.
Beyond here is the small but elaborate Fountain Garden. Features here include a serpentining miniature "river" and limestone-bottomed channels and ponds, two of which preserve their ancient fountain sprinklers — these work on a simple pressure and gravity principle and still spurt out modest plumes of water after heavy rain.

Choosing art to be inked permanently on your body can be a crippling decision, at least for some folks.
Elm Street Tattoo in Dallas, Texas thought of a fun way to make the process simpler. They created a vending machine that picks the art for you.
Yup, for $100 you get one turn of their "Get What You Get" machine. "What you get" is an old-school tattoo design which pops out in a plastic toy capsule and is then inked on your person. If you aren't cool with the design, don't throw a fit because for another $20 you can buy yourself another spin. No one is forced to put the design on their body; however, there are no refunds.
Boogie, a shop employee, told the Dallas Observer, "All of these tattoos I would price out between $160 and $180 ... maybe $250."
Tattoos will be completed on a first-come, first-served basis. If there's no line, you can get yours right away. If all of the artists are booked, you may have to make an appointment.

The National Youth Council of Dominica (NYCD) is rising to the challenge brought forth by former President, Senator Edward Registe with its first ever Back to School donation.
It was only two days before at the inauguration ceremony of the 2018-2020 Executive Board held on August 29, 2018, keynote speaker Registe questioned the members of the National Youth Council on their contribution to the social, educational development of Dominica's youth as well as their participation in the national mission of Dominica becoming the first climate resilient country in the world.
On Friday 31st August 2018, the National Youth Council of Dominica through a project headed by Assistant Administrative Coordinator, Akina Alleyne, answered the call when donations of school supplies were made to five deserving students.
Travis Samuel, Tishira Samuel, Tishawn Samuel, Antonio Hector and Aaliyah Lugay all received bag packs filled with school supplies donated from Sagicor Life Insurance, Dr. Damien Dublin and KPB Chartered Accountants.
During the handing over ceremony held at the Dominica Youth Business Trust Fund conference room, Cheryl Rolle Principal Representative of Sagicor Life – Dominica; commended the National Youth Council of Dominica on this initiative.
"Our team at Sagicor Life Inc in Dominica is pleased to support the National Youth Council of Dominica with its Back to School Program, as our young ones prepare to resume school in September 2018. We view this as an investment in the future of Dominica," she stated.
In addressing the students, 2nd Vice President of the NYCD, Terease Morancie said, "today you are being equipped with the resources needed to go forth and obtain the education which will be the foundation of a prosperous future. These gifts may be small, you may be young but remember the enormous mustard tree comes from a tiny mustard seed! There is greatness within each one of you, and it is the hope of the NYCD that you use education to unleash that greatness."
Morancie further stated that this donation was the first of a new a tradition and pledged the 2018-2020 Executive and Secretariat commitment to making it an annual donation, and to work with future Executives and Secretariats in carrying this initiative onwards.
She noted that the NYCD is on a mission to bring about the needed change in Dominica's youth and society as a whole.
The NYCD also looks forward to making a donation to the Newtown Primary School in the new school year.

The major drawback of the SWD M-11/9 has always been it's very high rate of fire. It's little more than a bullet hose in OEM form. Over the years, various methods have been employed to reduce the ROF. These have ranged from dismal to very good. Unfortunately, rate of fire reduction has come at the expense of overall size... until now.
The CF-W bolts are manufactured from Tungsten Heavy Alloy. While very close to the density of pure tungsten, heavy alloys provide a unique combination of corrosion resistance, density, mechanical strength, machinability, and economy. This increases the bolt's original weight of 15.88 ounces up to 32 ounces, and reduces the ROF by over half. As seen in this customer's video, singles are now possible while retaining the original compact size.
The reviews of the first run of 100 have been very positive and they sold out quickly. http://www.mac-11.info/review-cf.htm
All bolts are delivered pre-assembled and ready to drop into your OEM upper or side cocker. For ease of recoil spring removal, the "paper clip mod" has been made to your spring guide rod. This modification allows for the fast, easy change of the recoil spring or to quickly clip additional coils to adjust ROF as desired. No tiny roll pins to deal with! Your CF-W bolt ships with 12 spring coils clipped, and we reccomend a maximum of fifteen total removed. This brings your rate of fire down to 620-640 RPM depending on the type of ammo used. http://www.mac-11.info/bd5.htm
Cost for a completely assembled CF-W bolt is $750.00 which now includes $4.99 USPS Priority Mail shipping! Your package is insured for the full value, so an adult signature is required at the time of delivery. Credit cards are cheerfully accepted, but their use will add a 3.5% up charge.
To order, please call 1-702-763-1269 from 9:00AM to 6:00PM Pacific Time, Monday through Saturday. For additional information please email email@example.com. Sorry, no Nevada sales at this time. All NFA rules and regulations apply, and we do not ship to restricted states. Please don't ask!
*Extra polyurethane buffers are available for $4.50 each.
*I'd strongly suggest the purchase of an extra ejector rod for $11.00.
*Recoil spring guide rods are available for $10.00 each.

I think the concept of New Year is one of the best traditions that humankind has come up with. I love that it gives me a chance to introspect on the year that has been, and to dust myself off and look forward to the year ahead.
If I had to come up with one word to describe my 2015, it would have to be *RELIEF*. I passed a hugely difficult professional licensing exam a few months ago and some important progress has been made on the professional and personal front. So, a huge sigh of relief! 🙂 2015 has also been a year when we made the most of the weekends. We headed out every weekend when the weather was good and revisited old hiking spots and found some new favorites. We celebrated both of our birthdays by taking an extended weekend off – for the husband's birthday we headed to Cape Cod for a day of cycling and we celebrated my birthday weekend hiking in a beautiful national park here. And how can I forget? We began 2015 by spending time with friends and family in Kenya and Madras.
2015 has been good to us 🙂 Excited to see what 2016 has in store! Bring it on! 🙂
A very happy new year to everyone! My prayers for good health, happiness and prosperity 🙂

By Michele Clara, Programme Management Officer, UNIDO
On October 28, 2010, Antonio Tajani, the European Commissioner for Industry and Entrepreneurship, unveiled a bold and comprehensive flagship strategy to boost growth and jobs in Europe based on a strong, diversified, and competitive industrial base in the 27-countries of the European Union. Published under the title, An Integrated Industrial Policy for the Globalization Era, the document is an uncompromising pledge to the central role that industry can play in tackling the problems faced by humanity in this new century.
The policy is a component of a wider programme, Europe 2020 – A Strategy for Smart, Sustainable and Inclusive Growth, that aims to ensure a rapid exit of European economies from short-term stagnation and a return to a path of sustained and sustainable growth in an ever more competitive and globalized world economy. If these objectives sound familiar, it is perhaps because they were already at the core of an equally ambitious proposal by the Commission in the year 2000, namely the "Lisbon Strategy": a policy that certainly had many merits but that, as the Commission itself admitted, failed to achieve its objectives.
In a welcome sign of a readiness to learn from past mistakes, both the 2020 Strategy and the related An Integrated Industrial Policy for the Globalization Era take such shortcomings head on, and put forward remedial measures to address them. This is a timely reminder that effective policymaking, especially in the field of economic development, can only emerge from a transparent process of monitoring and evaluation of results against specified milestones, and subject to public scrutiny.
In many ways, the industrial policy proposed by Commissioner Tajani breaks new ground.
For a start, the policy dwells on a topic, the survival and growth of industry, which is of prime, strategic importance for every national government. Yet, it is a policy released by a supranational entity, the European Union. For this reason, the reader may want to get cracking on this 33-page document with the very last section, "A New EU Governance for Industrial Policy", which contains provocative ideas on how different levels of government must come together for the success of any development initiative.
A second, very interesting feature is the attempt to define the domain of any industrial policy. Apart from a few rabid opponents, most economic commentators would nowadays agree that the State has a role to play on issues such as infrastructure or education which have a strong bearing on economic development. Furthermore, and as brought out vividly in the work of economists such Ha-Joon Chang and Dani Rodrik, even the staunchest supporters of market-led innovation have comfortably lived with lavish public funding for innovation, and research and development (R&D) projects. Other aspects of policymaking are admittedly more controversial. Be that as it may, Commissioner Tajani lined them all up, as can be gathered from a glimpse at the Table of Contents where competition and innovation policy sit together with measures to tackle structural excess capacities, attaining carbon efficiency, and enhancing corporate social responsibility. The document does not shy away from what is usually the hottest theme, sector-specific policies, and provides inspiring thinking on the relevance of industry to tackle big societal challenges such as climate change, the growing costs of health in aging populations, over-crowding in urban areas, and access to energy.
Finally, it is worth pointing out the policy's commendable format. For every theme, the document puts forward, in a very succinct manner, both a description of the rationale for the policy and its main objectives, followed by a clear set of commitments, with timeline, of what the Commission, and often the Member States and other European bodies, are expected to do. Going forward, the Commission pledges an equally comprehensive mandate in terms of knowledge management, especially as an information broker vis-à-vis the Member States on good practice, but also on lessons learned.
All in all, the European Commission has produced a document of great relevance for the citizens of the European Union, but also for practitioners of development economics. As always, its merit will have to be assessed if, and once, its expected outcomes are achieved. Only time will tell if that is the case. But for those who believe that great achievements start by asking the right questions and learning from one's own mistakes, An Integrated Industrial Policy for the Globalization Era is recommended reading.
