If you are good trader, or have developed a good trading algorithm or trading method, you should utilize the Autotrading platform for your trade signals.
Payouts above represent the total payments made to the Top 20 Publishers.
With over 100,000 registered users, Collective2 has hundreds of millions of dollars of automated transactions flowing through the AutoTrade platform each week.
If your strategy performs well, you will probably make money. How much? That obviously depends on your strategy, but we can give you some benchmarks.
The highest-grossing system strategy publisher on the Collective2 system has earned over a half-million dollars. Other strategies approach the $100,000 dollars in revenue level. And quite a few good strategies cluster around the $50,000 to $75,000 level.
To "run a strategy", you'll need to submit buy and sell signals. That means: when it's time to buy something, you need to tell us, "Buy now." When it's time to sell, you'll need to tell us, "Sell now." Which raises the question: How do you actually tell us when it is time to buy or sell? What do you type… and where?
The simplest, most direct way to enter trades is to use our QuickTrade Web-based Trade Entry screen. It looks a lot like a broker's trade screen. You enter what you want to Buy or Sell, and how much, etc.
Use our web site to type your buys and sells, and "publish" them for your subscribers. Like using an online brokerage account (but no brokerage account required)
If you'd like to become a Publisher, you can use your AutoShares brokerage account to do it. You can just trade your system and the Autotrade Platform will "read" your trades and automatically publish them for your subscribers. This means that you can attract "followers" (subscribers) to your strategy, and their brokerage accounts will closely mirror yours. You'll build your strategy track record on the AutoTrade System just like other strategy managers do. Except, instead of typing your trade signals directly into the system, we'll automatically post your trade signals based on what your brokerage account trades.
Note that:
Your track record will not exactly match your brokerage account performance. It will be a close facsimile of your broker performance, but not an identical one. Rather, your record on the autotrade system will resemble how your followers perform when they copy your trades (as opposed to your trades themselves).
If you own a trading system on the autotrading platform and want to enter your signals by sending us an email, you need to follow a very specific format. This document will explain the format.
First, however, we need to stress that email signal entry is not appropriate for everyone.
Assuming the limitations above are acceptable to you, here is the way you can use email to enter your trades.
You can create a trading strategy for free. Use this period to try out all the features included on the platform. If you like us (we're sure you will), then you can utilize the Publisher dashboard to maintain your strategy.
Click Here to Get Started - After you login, please navigate to Create Strategy to Get Started..
Once you start signing up subscribers, we'll take care of all the transaction processing. Subscription fees for your publication sales will go 100 percent to you. And you have an option to broadcast through various distribution channels - if which additional fees may apply. Please contact us for details.
Here's what you'll get:

Identify the Ogre and Save the Babies
United Way of Val Verde County is honored to offer a workshop to do just that – Identify our Community's Assets and Build Strategic Partnerships. Mary Beth Harrington, of 501c3 Taking Nonprofits to the Third Power, will facilitate a dynamic workshop to identify assets, consider problems, brainstorm solutions, and develop partnerships to create community impact so we can make Great Things Happen When We Live United.
All 501(c)(3) non-profit Board and Staff/Volunteer members are invited to attend March 11 in the Ramada Inn Ballroom I at 8:00 for a Power Breakfast and Workshop from 8:30-11:30. Registration is just $15.00 (includes breakfast). However, an organization can earn a complete refund at the door if both a board member and a staff/volunteer member attend (refund good for just two per organization). Questions? Call me, Willie Braudaway, at 830-734-2701 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
As Chief Professional Officer, I and the United Way of Val Verde County Board of Directors are committed to making sure your United Way donations do the most good for the community. My version of "The Ogre Story" demonstrates United Way's "Great Things Happen When We Live United" vision:
You are walking down San Felipe Creek early one morning and see a baby floating down the creek. Horrified, you jump into the water to rescue the baby. All is well.
You look back and see another baby floating down the creek. Again, you dive into the water and rescue this baby as well.
Then, you realize there are dozens of babies floating down the creek. Now, you call out an alarm, and the whole community comes running to rescue as many babies as they can before the water carries them away.
But the babies keep on coming . . . because no one is going upstream to put a stop to the Ogre that is throwing the babies into the creek in the first place.
United Way of Val Verde County wants to go upstream to discover who this Ogre is and stop him. Otherwise, we will be pulling babies out of the water forever.
My hope is that the community will be galvanized to use its United Way contributions to take on a particular Ogre and save the babies.

The Family Security Planner is a package of helpful sample forms for aging individuals. Unfortunately, we have found that most people do not have a healthcare directive and a durable power of attorney in place.

We hope that this planner will help you begin important discussions with your aging loved ones', and that you will be able to get the included legal forms signed and notarized. This planner can help you be ready, regardless of what may happen, with critical legal documents in place and the right information at hand.
What is in the Family Security Planner?
- A basic Durable Power of Attorney form that would be recognized in any state.
- An Advance Health Care Directive form, also called a Power of Attorney for Healthcare.
- Physician's Orders For Life Sustaining Treatment. This form is recognized in at least 30 states. It can protect your loved ones from unnecessary and futile treatment if they do not wish to be kept alive artificially. It reflects a conversation that should take place between your elderly parents and their doctor(s) about what they want at end of life. The form must be signed by the doctor, and it becomes a permanent part of the person's medical record.
- A Personal Information Log, where you can record important information, such as social security number, doctors names and phone numbers, contact info for neighbors and other important data.
- Getting Organized will help you record the location of important documents.
- A Checklist of Assets.
- Personal Care Plan.

Miniature Mister Five Hills pays Ronald McDonald House utility bills
Special to Leader-Pres
Many families travel far from home and spend several weeks or months to get treatment for their seriously ill or injured children at Children's Hospital at Scott & White in Temple. It can be a long time for children to be separated from their parents and parents separated from their child. For children facing a serious medical crisis, nothing seems scarier than not having mom and dad close by for love and support. Miniature Mister Five Hills Robbie Rackley decided to make a big difference in these small children's lives.
Robbie chose the Ronald McDonald House as his platform of service during his year long reign. He began collecting pop tabs for the charity in March, 2018 when he was crowned. The Ronald McDonald House provides a place for families to call home so they can stay close by their hospitalized child at little to no cost. He enlisted the help of his royalty family as well as family, friends, local businesses and organizations which all collected tiny pieces of aluminum. One by one they added up until the now 4-year old amassed thousands and thousands of pop tabs weighing more than 160 pounds.
Robbie and his mom, Misty Rackley, made regular visits to businesses and clubs over the past year picking up pop tabs collected.
"The goal is to help sick kids," Misty Rackley said. "I know if Robbie was sick, I would lose my mind. When your child is sick, you lose everything."
As Robbie prepares to crown his successor in just a few days, he and the Five Hills royalty made a trip to Temple to donate the multiple containers filled with pop tabs. One by one, they dumped them into industrial-sized garbage cans where they will be held for recycling.
As the trash cans began to reach capacity, a few stray tabs fell on the floor and Robbie scurried to pick them up.
"Oh…," he said in excitement as his eyes widened. "There's a tab and there's one. We have to get them all."
The tabs will be sold to a metals company and the cash received in exchange will be used to pay the Ronald McDonald's utility bills which cost approximately $6,000 year.
Ronald McDonald House Weekend Manager Gayle Bourland, who has worked for the charity for 10 years, said Robbie's donation of the small tabs will make a big difference.
"These tabs are free money for the House," Bourland said, adding that anyone can collect and donate the tabs. "It doesn't have to be a huge amount. It all makes a difference."

Sanctuary Church Body – What does this mean?
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
We have just returned from a full and busy week at the 15th Churchwide Assembly in Milwaukee. The churchwide assembly is the highest legislative authority of the ELCA. Over 900 voting members from all 65 synods participated in the week-long triennial assembly to discuss and deliberate important matters of the Church.
One of those topics which you may have heard about through national news outlets was the decision to declare the ELCA as a "sanctuary church body".
In simplest form, becoming a sanctuary church body or denomination means that as the Church, we are publicly declaring that walking alongside immigrants and refugees is a matter of faith. Accompanying immigrants and migrants is already a strategy of the Church through the work of AMMPARO.
Being a sanctuary denomination will look different across different contexts. Each congregation will need to discern what this means for them in their context.
Legally, here is what the action by the Churchwide Assembly means:
The Churchwide Assembly's declaration that the ELCA is a sanctuary denomination binds only the ELCA Churchwide Organization; it does not bind congregations, synods, or other organizations;
The Churchwide Assembly did not call for any illegal actions, all actions mentioned by the Churchwide Assembly are legal, and whether any person or organization chooses to engage in civil disobedience (and therefore accept the consequences) is up to them;
The Churchwide Assembly did not define what it means to be a sanctuary denomination, but rather requested that the ELCA Church Council provide guidance as to what it means to be a sanctuary denomination.
Please see this linked ACLU resource. This is an excellent explainer of the difference between legal and illegal actions that often fall under the name "sanctuary", and the gray areas around there.
Finally, being a sanctuary denomination is about loving our neighbors. While we may have different ideas about how to fix the immigration system and different ways of loving our neighbors, our call to love our neighbor is central to our faith.
May God bless you all as you hold conversations and decisions in Christ's name.
Bishop David B. Zellmer

When consumers are sipping on an ice-cold beverage to fight against the brutal heat of summer, most aren't thinking they'd love to have a custom pair of shoes to match their soft drink of choice. Or are they? Judging by the most recent sneaker trends, that might be exactly what consumers are seeking. Several recent beverage brand collaborations with shoe firms have received a generous amount of buzz, and the trend appears to be picking up steam.
It's likely the original trend of translating beverage brands into fashion statements was borne out of the longtime tradition of pairing athletes with beverage sponsorships. Among the most famous of these collaborations has been Michael Jordan's sponsorship by the Gatorade sports drink line, which has now spanned 26 years.
While most analysts would agree the pairing has helped Gatorade make inroads into the athletic world, some may not have predicted it would result in a partnership which saw Gatorade branding on consumers' feet, but that's exactly what has happened.
The Air Jordan 6 Gatorade, said to be hitting stores this fall, is being released as a tribute to Jordan's massive success during the period when he wore his signature Air Jordan 6 shoes in the original "Be Like Mike" Gatorade campaign, Kicks on Fire reports.
Coca-Cola, Mountain Dew, Pepsi Want A Spot
As highly-anticipated as the new Air Jordan Gatorade shoes are, sneaker shelves will have to make room for additional new beverage-themed entrants to the market.
Soft drink giant Coca-Cola recently partnered with fashion brand Kith to release a massive summer apparel collection, including multiple styles of Kith sneakers and sandals emblazoned with the classic Coca-Cola logo. Among the offerings was a Coca-Cola-branded edition of the classic Converse Chuck Taylor shoes, offered in the company's retro style from the 1970s.
As part of the Kith collaboration, the limited-edition Coca-Cola Chuck Taylors were packaged with a bottle of Coke and sold earlier this month for $150 at Kith stores and online, Sneaker News reported.
Mountain Dew has also honed its shoe game, partnering with Nike to issue an ultra-exclusive package honoring Cleveland Cavaliers player Kyrie Irving after the Cavaliers won the NBA championships. Only 32 pairs of the sneakers, which debuted earlier this year, were issued, making the set about as limited-edition as they come.
The Mountain Dew-branded shoes were packaged in a "K.A.R.E. Kit," an abbreviation for "Kyrie's Ankle Recovery Equipment," Sole Collector reported. Included in the kit were an iPad featuring highlights of Irving's basketball moves and five limited-edition cans of Mountain Dew, among other items.
The Irving sneaker did not mark Mountain Dew's first foray into shoe marketing. In fact, the brand partnered with sneaker brand Fila in December to launch the Mountain Dew GLX x Fila M-Squad, a limited-edition sneaker style issued in branded packaging for $90, Kicks on Fire reported.
As the parent company of both Gatorade and Mountain Dew, PepsiCo certainly wasn't about to let its flagship brand go without a branded shoe offering. Earlier this year, the company joined forces with New Balance and Rawlings to issue a Gold Globe Pack honoring Cleveland Indians star Francisco Lindor. The pack included a customized pair of New Balance 574 shoes, a gold-dipped Pepsi bottle and a Rawlings baseball glove, which consumers could win as part of a contest, Sole Collector reported.
Could The Trend Be Growing?
While it's impossible to predict whether soft drink-branded sneakers are here to stay, it's likely more brands will see the potential in such collaborations. When Lyst released its list of top-ten best-selling products of Q2 earlier this month, six of the items were shoes and half of those were sneakers. With these products fueling such a high percentage of fashion sales, why wouldn't beverage brands want to hop on board?
Perhaps in the future, it will be completely normal to see shoppers walking through the mall with Dr. Pepper, Tropicana and Red Bull emblazoned across their feet. Stranger things have happened.

Coronavirus Update: MORE INFORMATION
Osteoporosis is a common and progressive bone disease that weakens bones and makes them prone to breakage. It results from a loss of bone density, or mass, and from a change in bone structure. There are several risk factors for developing osteoporosis including older age, small bone structure, family history of osteoporosis, cigarette smoking, alcohol abuse, and low calcium and vitamin D levels. Osteoporosis occurs most commonly in older women, but it can affect any person at any age. Osteoporosis does not cause obvious symptoms but may result in broken bones, limited mobility, and chronic disability.
Clinicians diagnose osteoporosis based on results from a test that measures bone mineral density. This test measures the amount of bone at different areas of the body. Measurements are usually taken at the spine, hip, and thigh. The best available test for measuring bone mineral density is called the dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan. This test is painless and uses much less radiation than traditional X-ray.
Osteoporosis treatment includes a healthy diet or supplements to ensure that patients are getting enough calcium and vitamin D. Health care providers also recommend regular physical activity, specifically weight-bearing exercise, as it has been shown to improve bone density and preserve remaining bone. Some people with osteoporosis may require medications, such as bisphosphonates, calcitonin, and estrogen or hormone replacement therapy.

It's Who You Know
By: Leanne Zabriskie
The more recruiting has changed over the years, the more it has stayed the same. While recruiting has become increasingly outsourced and systematized, the most effective recruiting is still about who you know.
The best employee is one who is knowledgeable about your organization, dependable and excited about working with you. These types of hires usually are – or are referred by – people you already know. So how do you tap into existing relationships to optimize recruiting and improve workforce effectiveness?
Boomerang Employees (Employees Formerly Known as Rehires)
The freelancing mentality allows workers to perform a job for a while, leave for one reason or another, and then come back to work at a later time. Instead of feeling betrayed by an employee who left, embrace the "tour of duty" approach to employment. It's perfectly acceptable for employees to just complete their mission and move on – and it's also okay to hire that same person again to do another job down the road. Employment doesn't have to be a lifelong, committed relationship. Boomerang employees know you, know your flaws, and they accept you anyway. They also integrate into your culture and organization faster and require less training, accelerating new hire time-to-productivity.
- Remember that they've probably learned something since they left, so evaluate who they are today, not who they were when they worked with you previously.
- Actively reach out to your organization's alumni. Build a community of former employees through social media groups and face-to-face events.
Employee Referrals
People tend to have personal networks of friends with similar backgrounds and mindsets – it's the whole "birds of a feather" principle. This means that your top performing employees probably associate with other top performers. Your employees' friends probably already know about your organization and have a better understanding of your business and culture than someone off the street. Studies have also repeatedly shown that referred employees are faster to hire, cost less to hire, onboard faster, and stick around longer.
- Encourage your employees to refer their friends to your organization.
- Reward employees for good referrals. Develop a referral program that offers rewards not only for hires, but also for employees who stay and perform well.
Customers, Vendors and Partners
Think about who else you work with on a regular basis. We all have that go-to vendor who always understands our needs, or that partner who spends so much time with us that they already feel like part of the organization. While you may have to consider contractual rules that prohibit recruiting some of these people, this may also be a great source of hires. They know and have done business with you and your organization. They understand your needs and have already proven themselves to be a trustworthy ally.
- Take a partner to lunch. You might find a new employee, you might learn about someone they know who is looking for a job, or you might just strengthen your existing relationship.
These are just a few tips for how to better leverage your organization's existing relationships in your current recruiting process. By making sure you have a robust strategy for tapping into the power of people your organization already knows, you can improve employee productivity, increase retention, and reduce hiring costs – all of which help drive workforce competitive advantage.

Rust Removal
An inexperienced individual attempting to pressure clean a rust stain to no avail will quickly assume that higher pressure is needed in order to remove the stain. They will continually increase the pressure and inch closer to the substrate until costly permanent damage in achieved. What went wrong you ask? They lacked the experience and expertise to recognize organic material versus mineral stains. Rust stains due to well water, fertilizers and corrosion require exclusive knowledge in order to release the strong iron chemical bonds and successfully dissolve them. Depending on the substrate or surface, it can be tremendously difficult to remove without the proper know how and experience. Rest assured that we have the most effective rust removal training in Broward, Dade and West Palm Beach counties. Call us today for more information!

A Rough Beer Guide to Montrealon February 26, 2013 at 9:49 pm
I learned some stuff in Montreal. The first thing was that other countries are yet to adopt the astringent caucasian notion that in order for a bar to be classy it must offer a handful of microbrews. The classy joints served Molson. The not so classy joints served Molson. That was the one constant and everything else was utterly unpredictable.
For example, I was looking forward to trying some fresh Unibroue, but we didn't see it on tap anywhere and bottles were only at gas stations. So before I left I bought a sixer of these little guys, which are part of Unibroue's budget "U" series and not available stateside:
It was horrid. Not, like, bad by Unibroue standards. It's bad by any standard. And with the preponderance of okay-to-good macro-style beers in Quebec, I really have no idea why Unibroue is trying to branch out like this. Maybe if it tasted decent they'd have a point, but it flatly does not.
Often, along with Molson, bars would offer some variety of Rickard ales. Here is a can of Rickard Dark:
Rickard came in Red, Blonde, White, and Dark. Released as a sub-brand of Molson, they were basically the Quebecois version of Leinenkugels: unexceptional but solidly brewed beers that are priced midway between macros and crafts. These are the kind of beers that beer snobs unreasonably shit on as part of that "craft vs. crafty" bullshit. Because, horror of horrors, occasionally neophyte beer people confuse them for actual micro brews! But, seriously, they were all pretty good.
The only time we came across actual "craft" beers was when we went into a brewpub. The first was called Brutopia and it was close to the Bell Center. The beer was okay—their stout was eerily close to Guinness:
(Pictured: not the stout)
But the biggest, best place was Dieu Du Ciel:
You've probably had their flagship Peche Mortel. They have a few other beers that are more or less readily available in the states, including a really good chocolate stout and an hibiscus beer. Here's a few of their rarer, tap-only beers that I had at the pub:
Pionnier Imperial Black IPA (9.5%)
Mid grade milk chocolate mixed with a strange aftertaste that's like how you smell if you spent a few hours working around a deep fryer. So basically take a hit off of the Chocolate Wonderfall at Golden Corral and you get the gist of it. Ends with hop profile that's very similar to Dreadnaught's, and that's actually really nice for a black IPA. A more fruity hop profile means a bigger break from the stouty beginning, the effect is nicely jarring.
Neuvaine "Biere a'l'Absythine" (8.5%)
Absinthe is what they used in olden times to go on acid trips. This was back in the day when you could order a tank of nitrous out of the Sears catalogue, mind, so I'm guessing the Absinthes I've had stateside are missing some of the punch of the old drink.
Now, there's a lot of sissy-mouthed "scientists" who have pored over old Absinthe recipes and insisted that the drink didn't contain enough of anything to cause any effects aside from drunkenness. These scientists probably never even heard of Nine Inch Nails because Trent Reznor says Absinthe in the perfect drug, and that dude is cool as shit.
Yes, Absinthe don't make you trip like you just dropped acid. Obviously. That's why they didn't have guitar solos in the 1890s. But it does produce an ancillary effect to the booze intoxication, the same as how hoppy beers make you feel different from malty ones, which make you feel different than red wine, which make you feel different than vodka, etc. Absinthe is numbing and floaty. And, back before the damn Democrats and their goddamn unconstitutional FDA, the drink probably rocked.
This beer, however, is terrifying. You can give it to kids in lieu of a DARE progam. Like, still call it DARE, but now you're DAREing them to drink a whole pint of this. The waiter said he couldn't do it. I—and I a man who once chugged a bottle of tequila I found laying in a parking lots—I could not finish this.
Pours like that picture you see up there. (I was thinking it would be greener). Tastes like strong anise, fennel, and pain. The front end is black licorice patent medicine boffo, but the back end is uncomfortable verdant and bitter, like you're eating the sort of plant matter that you're biologically not supposed to. It's like I'm chewing wood, or oak leaves. The back, back end is good black licorice, again, but then the plant matter bitterness lingers like cancer.
There are some things that man was not meant to eat, and such prandial incompatibility is signaled through gross, awful flavor. Anyone who says that perception can't be grounded in biological fact has never tasted this beer.
Fortunella (IPA with Cumquats) (7.2%)
Good! On tap at the brewpub, billed as an IPA with cumquats. Poured light for the style and the nose and flavor both belied the alcohol content–very crisp, very American, lacking the heavy back-end bitterness of most of the Quebecois pales that I've sampled. Cumquattiness was present but I probably wouldn't have recognized it for cumquats without being prompted by the chalkboard; it's more of a general fruit spriteliness that gives the beer an air of an American west coast IPA, only with nicer malt start and more balanced than your usual west coast IPA.

Special to HNN Provided by Herd Zone
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - The Marshall men's soccer team dropped its final game of the Veterans Memorial Cup presented by Qdoba Sunday at Hoops Family Field with a 1-0 loss to Evansville.
The Herd falls to 4-2-0 this season, while Evansville improves to 2-3-0. In the first game of the day, Robert Morris defeated No. 24 Bowling Green 1-0.
All four teams won a game in the tournament, but Marshall and Bowling Green were named co-champions because of an equal finish in goal differential.
The teams came into the second half scoreless, with Evansville outshooting the Herd 13-5 (6-1 shots on goal).
In the second half, the Aces scored off of a corner kick. Nate Opperman was able to connect on a header after the ball was whipped in by Zac Blaydes to make the score 1-0.
From there, Marshall fought to get back into the match, but was not able to tie the score up, dropping the game and ending its four game winning streak.
On the Evansville match:
"It's a tough loss, but I mean it was almost a payback from last year because we beat them 1-0 in their tournament last year. Credit to Evansville, though. They had a good game plan and we were flat from the start and maybe didn't give them enough respect. As I told them, every college game has the potential to be a one goal game and that was true today."
"We will regroup and get ready to host Kentucky next Saturday. It's always an exciting rivalry game and it's the start of Conference USA play, so it's very important that we step out there and perform well."

Dennis Bergkamp's answer is short. No, he doesn't want to talk about Ajax. Today the former Holland and Arsenal legend is coaching the youth team his son Mitchel plays for at Almere City, a first division side located in Flevoland. His thoughts about Ajax, the club that he was part of for so long as a player and coach, will not be shared. For all that a young and celebrated Ajax side have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, where they face Tottenham Hotspur, Bergkamp is no longer part of the famous Dutch club's story.
At the heart of Ajax's European success, after beating Real Madrid and Juventus in sensational style, lies a bitter story of former teammates who once seemed friends or at least allies departing the club in acrimonious circumstances.
Since 2010 Edgar Davids, Danny Blind (who is back now as a commissioner), Louis van Gaal, Wim Jonk, Johan Cruyff, Theo van Duivenbode, Marcel Keizer and Bergkamp himself have all left under a cloud, but all more or less share in Ajax's current ascendancy.
It could be said that the smallest guy from the smallest town has emerged with his standing enhanced. Marc Overmars, another Ajax player who went on to enjoy success in England at Arsenal, hails from the hamlet Epe some 60 miles from the Johan Cruyff Arena. The current director of football took the club by storm on a historic night in December 2017.
After Ajax were beaten in a penalty shootout in a cup tie against FC Twente, Overmars and Edwin van der Sar, the club's general director and former goalkeeper, decided to sack head coach Keizer and his assistant – Bergkamp. The firing of the latter caused the bigger upset at the club with the stormiest reputation in the Netherlands.
Bergkamp did not only share an emotional bond with former teammates Overmars and Van der Sar at Ajax and the Dutch national team. When the late legend Cruyff decided to reshape the club in 2010, Bergkamp was one of his main disciples. Together with old teammate Wim Jonk, Bergkamp was given the task of integrating old and new ideas – for "Ajax to become Ajax again". That meant an attractive, attacking team with a core of homegrown players and spending on transfers and salaries to be modest. Bergkamp in a sense paved the way for other former top players to have important roles in the Arena, another of Cruyff's aims: former players such as Van der Sar and Overmars.
Overmars arrived in 2012, but since that night in December 2017 for the first time he could forge his own path. His first move was to hire Erik ten Hag as coach, but his protege did not enjoy early success. One year ago, after a dramatic defeat at PSV that made Eindhoven champions, Ajax supporters were stopping the team bus and demanding an explanation for why Holland's biggest and richest club had not won any silverware since 2014.
The press too came down hard on Ten Hag. He was regarded as too stubborn, too demanding and "non-Ajax-blooded". Ten Hag, who had spells coaching Bayern Munich's B-team and FC Utrecht, talks in an eastern dialect, with a husky voice. He was obviously an Ajax outsider.
Overmars was already busy trying to transform the club for the next season. "He kept on calling me from November [2017] on," recalls Dusan Tadic. Tadic was a respected player at Southampton, on the radar of Liverpool, but decided at 29 to make a remarkable switch back to the Eredivisie. It has paid off: he is the club's leading scorer, with 30 goals so far this season. "I wanted to win something, I wanted to play Champions League. When I was young I had a crush on Ajax and that never goes away. Also the Premier League is so tough, it tears at your body and I want to play football for a long time. Marc convinced me that they were building a great team."
Overmars rarely speaks in the press, only seldom giving interviews, but is considered an adept wheeler and dealer: his nickname is "Marc Netto". As a young man he collected antiques and bought real estate in Epe. He tried his luck as an entrepreneur with a puzzlegame called Frustr8tor.
After Tadic, his next move was signing the 27-year-old Daley Blind from Manchester United. Ajax invested more money than ever, broke through their salary ceiling, but unlike in previous years, when there was a policy of austerity, there was no one at Ajax stopping Overmars. "It's good that there is only one boss [for technical decisions]," Overmars said in a rare interview with the Dutch paper NRC when asked if he felt liberated. He also talked about the difficulties of working at Ajax. "It took us an incredible amount of energy to keep the team together. At Barcelona players stay for five years, but at Ajax not anymore. Look at the team two years ago. We got to the final of the Europa League but – bang– the team falls apart, key players leave."
Ajax had five players at the 2018 World Cup and had to wade through three preliminary rounds in the summer to reach the group phase of the Champions League. That feat was vital in keeping at the club emerging talents such as Frenkie de Jong and Matthijs de Ligt, playmaker Hakim Ziyech, wing-back Nicolás Tagliafico and goalkeeper Andre Onana. "That's why it was vital to get Blind and Tadic in on time. They have earned back the money we spent on them already," Overmars said in December when Ajax qualified for the last 16 after staying unbeaten in a group that contained AEK Athens, Benfica and Bayern Munich.
Ajax's policy was that young players need experience around them and that a coach should not have to deal with late transfers, such as when Davinson Sánchez left for Spurs in mid-August the season before. Ajax's social media team underlined the message by posting a clip on the last day of the transfer window. It showed Overmars putting his phone in his desk drawer and keeping it there until the day was over.
Ajax's squad today cost half the fee Juventus splashed out on Cristiano Ronaldo, around €50m. Still most of the players are homegrown or arrived on free transfers or for a small fee.
Technically Ajax have always promoted the highest standards, backing skilful football from the very first levels of its youth development programme. Tactically they are astute too, outsmarting Juventus's Massimiliano Allegri this campaign. Ten Hag is "The Dutch Pep" and says the club's recent success owes much to the players' nous: "We do it together. Don't underestimate the tactical intelligence of the players. Some are so smart. Often they know themselves what to do."
As the club's captain De Ligt says: "Even at home I try to find information about training, nutrition, mental power in books or on the internet. I read the biography of Ronaldo, which is inspiring, how to get the best out of yourself and learning how he coped with everything when he was my age. I want and have to be an example. I want to lead the team, make it better. You have to take responsibility for certain tasks and make sure others do that as well as a captain."
Now 34 and mostly featuring as a substitute, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is impressed by his younger teammates. "The level of this team is extremely high, with a lot of talent," he says. "Maybe the only team that was better that I participated in was the Dutch national team between 2010 and 2012. But we have to deliver every match, have to stay hungry. I'm trying to help with that, telling them that we haven't won anything yet."
The transfer market agrees as this Ajax squad is valued at more than €300m (and counting) and can claim a treble of league, cup and Champions League. But money and success alone is not enough. "We also want to play beautiful, attractive football," says Van der Sar. "In a way that Johan Cruyff would be happy, if he could watch us."
Back in Almere, one last effort to prise a quote from Bergkamp. Does the Cruyff acolyte enjoy watching this Ajax team? "Yes. Of course, there's another story for me. But I can separate that. It's nice to see boys that you know from this [indicates their height with a hand to his hip] play so well."

Posted: 07/03/19 by Stanair Industrial Door Services Ltd
Stanair, a proud member of the Northamptonshire Chamber of Commerce, are pleased to be supporting a fellow member for a county-wide business event later this year.
Sheila Smith Sales & Events, known as the 'Business Matchmaker Extraordinaire', hosts networking events and business expos across the midlands. A hotly anticipated event in the Northants business community is the Northamptonshire Business Expo, attended by hundreds of local businesses from across the county.
Members of the Stanair team have been exhibitors at a number of the Northamptonshire Business Expos, and Buckinghamshire Business Expos, local to their Milton Keynes Depot. As a regular exhibitor, Stanair has witnessed first-hand the fantastic support provided by Sheila Smith and her team in event preparations. They were also impressed at the excellent turnout and activities on the expo days themselves. When an opportunity arose to become a sponsor at the next Northamptonshire Business Expo, Sheila got in touch with Simon Barnicoat, sales manager at Stanair.
"We've seen first-hand just how brilliant these events are for local businesses like ourselves," said Simon, "we're absolutely delighted to be able to support Sheila and her team at what I'm sure will be the biggest Expo yet."
Delegates on the day will have the chance to network with fellow local businesses, attend insightful workshops and get involved with a wealth of businesses exhibiting. With the event also being free to attend, it's a no-brainer for Northamptonshire businesses to come along on the 19th May.
Find out more about the event here, and be sure to pop by the Stanair stand and say hello on the day.

Why do some people end up in the media while others don't?
What if you were regularly booked for serious appearances on TV, radio and podcasts, and featured in the HUFFINGTON POST and FORBES as an expert on your topic?
The professional talking heads on TV or in magazines or on popular blogs aren't different or special, they just have media training. They're media-ready at the drop of a hat, to speak confidently about their topic – plus they're already widely known for being a reliable, personable and knowledgeable guest.
None of this is a secret, and none of it particularly difficult to grasp – media training is the difference between sitting at home watching the experts on TV, or being in demand as one of them.
Imagine what just one media appearance would do for YOUR BUSINESS. Now imagine having a one a month or one a week, for as long as you like!
In my NEW program, MEDIA IMPACT I will guide you from every day you to media-friendly expert.
I will help you to attune your skills and uniqueness to the market, so that you become in-demand and wanted by the media.
I will teach you how to deliver an irresistible pitch for all media, including radio, TV, blogs, podcasts and social media appearances and mentions. I will show you how to get featured in major publications.
It's frustrating to have a gift, a passion or something you need to say to the world – but to have all of that go unheard, because the people with media training get all the opportunities! This happened to me for a long time, until I began to study and learn from people in the public eye.
Getting in the media exploded my business!
I was seen, noticed and I made more money. Coaches and entrepreneurs that want to push their excuses to the side and take their business to the next level, need media training in order to get there.
This is for those that truly want to create an impact, and are ready to push their boundaries, crawl out of their safe space, and rise to new heights of exposure, impact, and even fame. Action-takers that are ready to get their message out there on a much larger scale.
While lots of coaches and entrepreneurs talk the talk well enough, when it comes to actually stepping out into the limelight, they always find an excuse to remain in their comfortable groove.
I'm not going to lie – When you do start to appear in the media, it changes your life. This scares some people, but others thrive on it.
In the competitive online world, you're either a follower or a rockstar. Only you know deep down which type of entrepreneur you are.
The program includes:
A unique, tailored press release WRITTEN FOR YOU and distributed on your behalf, for GLOBAL news outlets such as FOX, ABC, NBC and many more.
The investment for this program is £2000, but up until the 1st August it SLASHED IN HALF!!!
So, £1000 for you to learn all you need to know to become a media star, for you as a fast action taker! PLUS, there are payment plans available.
Make sure you're all signed up, and more importantly, that you're ready to skyrocket your business and triple your personal magnetism. It's showtime!

Fall is my favorite season and probably one of the largest food seasons there is, at least here in the States. Fall with Harvest celebrations and Halloween start the food season that just keeps going through Thanksgiving, Christmas and then New Years celebrations. I'm really not sure why we don't have more food celebrations during the winter when we need them so much but suspect that our ancestors needed to save their food supplies and getting places was probably difficult. In Denmark they entertain (hygge) and have a lot of meals with friends and family during the dark months of winter and it's an area I think many of us would be wise to emulate. The light tons of candles, sit at the table with family and/or friends and eat. Who wouldn't like doing that! Meals don't have to be elaborate, simple meals can be great too. Smorgasbord and pot luck to me are pretty much the same thing, have everybody bring something and enjoy.
For centuries Fall was the time of harvest and of preserving the harvest. I remember going to my grandmother's house and helping pick and prep food from the garden and from the vegetable stand we use to go to. I remember hours sitting under the tree out back shucking peas and stringing beans with grandma. I loved going to the farm where we bought vegetables. They had tons of chickens and other animals but the peacocks were my favorite. I could stand forever watching the peacocks. Occasionally Grandma would give me money to buy a peacock feather to take home. These memories are dear to me as she passed about 30 years ago.
This year I had to put my desire to do major canning aside to take care of things that were going on here. My son needed to make a quick move back here to Jamestown so we had nearly a month of them spending the weekends with us while we helped them look for an apartment and work. Thankfully Jordon was able to get a job quickly and we got them moved. Those would have been the last weeks of the harvesting in our area so I missed out this year but that's okay. I now have the grandbaby close to me and I'm having a great time introducing him to new foods.
In the fall, just before winter arrived, would have been the time they would have slaughtered the animals for the winter so they wouldn't have to feed as many animals and it would have been cold enough so the meat could be left outside until the finished processing it without going bad. Various methods of preserving the meat to keep it through the winter would have been used such as salting, smoking, and canning. Nowadays we can use these methods any time of year and we don't need to wait to make our favorite recipes.
Matt finished making some delicious venison jerky today using several packages of the venison we still had in the freezer. Jerky is roughly a two day process, one day to season and smoking on the second day. He also started brining the pork roasts for making Canadian Bacon. This is our third batch of Canadian Bacon and it is delicious! Canadian Bacon has a four day processing time as it sits in the brine for three days and then you smoke on the forth. After you have homemade you can't buy it from the grocery store any more.

Subseries warning: This article or section contains information on a subseries within the Legend of Zelda series and should be considered part of its own separate canon.
Volga's Forces is a faction that appears in Hyrule Warriors & Hyrule Warriors Legends. There are an army of monsters lead by the Dragon Knight, Volga that live in the Eldin Caves.
Volga's Forces is an army of monsters lead by Volga and other members of the Dragon race from the Eldin Caves. Its top generals are Volga's loyal servants, Dinolfos Chieftain and Lizalfos Chieftain. Originally they remained in the Eldin Caves, staying out of wars and conflicts (presumably over possession of the Triforce) started by "Human" (Humans, Hylians, Gerudo, and Sheikah). However, the Black Sorceress, Cia the former Guardian of Time that had been corrupted by the Spirit of Evil, came to the caves, seeking to make Volga and his forces a part of her dark army.
The Dragon of the Caves
After freeing the Dark Wizard, Wizzro who had been sealed in the cave by Hyrule's Goron Forces, Cia encountered Volga, who refused to get involved in wars started by "humans", leading to a fight between Volga's Forces and Cia's fledgling Dark Forces. Volga retreated, allowing his two generals, Dinolfos Chieftain and Lizalfos Chieftain to deal with the Dark Forces lead by Cia and her new general, Wizzro. However despite having two King Dodongos on their side, the Lizalfos and Dinolfos Chieftains where defeated, despite Wizzro defecting from the Dark Forces to try and take command of Volga's Forces for himself. Eventually, Volga himself was defeated by Cia, who used her magic to brainwash both Volga and Wizzro into her top generals. Afterwards, most of Volga's Forces were absorbed into Cia's Dark Forces.

The Necessity of Confidence
Let's talk about the necessity of confidence.
Doing the Work that God has created for your life and business requires confidence.
Without confidence, it is impossible to:
- Really believe and trust that the desires God has placed in your heart are possible;
- Prevent naysayers (even those who love you) from discouraging you or otherwise weighing you down with the limits of their vision and experiences; or even
- Continue doing what is necessary to make your dreams come true with excited anticipation, even when the journey is long.
With confidence, all things are possible.
Here's how you can increase your confidence, so you can increase the capacity of your life and your business to serve people and build legacy wealth in a way that glorifies God.
1) Know that greater is possible and is ready to be unlocked at the right time.
2) Make good decisions based on the character of Jesus Christ, even when making character-based decisions appears to conflict with what looks to be good for business and/or easy for you.
3) Ask, knock, and otherwise seek out the destiny (through business, volunteerism, or your personal life) God has placed in your heart, even when sensible people tell you is it unreasonable, impracticable or impossible to do so.
4) Know that what other people think about you is of no concern to you when you are chasing Jesus and operating with Christ-like character in all things; and
5) Have peace that nothing is your life is wasted, all things are working for your good, and all the difficult & challenging tests you're passing are becoming testimonies that can and will transform the lives of others, which in turn transforms the world.
You, yes YOU, can transform the world. And, when you are confident, you have the power to stop anyone from telling you differently.
Here's the beauty and power of what I've just shared with you in this message. Everything I've written is based on the Word of God!
YOU, my friend, have the authority to make what I have written your reality. The Bible says so! I hope this makes you as excited as it makes me! (I am literally leaping for joy right now!).
Let's dig deeper into how you can build confidence God's way by walking through 5 bible verses and how they apply to your life and business.
Let's go.
1) Believe that all things are possible through Christ Jesus. Not some things, all things.
I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13
2) At the start of your day, before you even get out of bed, ask the Lord to guide your feet and direct your actions so that everything you do supports your purpose for being here on earth. Ask this of the Lord and trust that He hears you.
For the LORD will be at your side and will keep your foot from being snared. Proverbs 3:26
3) Be confident in knowing that when you go to the Lord, He hears you. It's up to you to take a break from the busyness of your ambition to hear from Him.
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 1 John 5:14
4) Believe in your heart that the visions, desires and dreams you have for your future (even those you had as a child), are good works begun by God. Trust God's Word as stated in Philippians 1:6 where it says God will carry out to completion what He began in you. Know that the completion God seeks can only happen if you keep going and do not give up.
[The good work reference in this bible passage includes making Christ-centered, CHARACTER-based decisions in business – so that your business can be a model of God's power, love, and grace, even when there are unethical behavior and crooked business transactions all around.]
Be confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6
5) When you hear from God in the quietness of your heart, do what God says to do. And, do what you do in a way that honors you (and your business practices) while glorifying God.
When you pursue Christ-like character in all you do, you are living in a state of righteousness (not perfection – for no one is perfect) that will bring a sense of calm and confidence to your life.
The fruit of that righteousness will be peace; its effect will be quietness and confidence forever. Isaiah 32:17
Can God Trust You?
The more confident you become, the more God can trust you with His Work for your life & business, and the blessings he wants to bestow upon you.
You have to ready for what God has planned and being confident is an essential part of being ready.
What's next?
A way to really internalize this process of becoming more confident is to write down each of these steps on index cards. Then, read them over and over again to encourage and empower you to be confident in Jesus so you can do the Work God has called you to do.
Give this Bible-based strategy for building your confidence a go and let me know how it blesses you. I want to hear from you.
Grace & Peace ~
Tasha "TC" Cooper (aka Coach TC)

"Cosmos" Episode 2: Evolution Boogaloo
By Steven Lloyd Wilson | Cosmos | March 17, 2014 |
By Steven Lloyd Wilson | Cosmos | March 17, 2014 |
It's that time of the week, time for SCIENCE.
We begin with Tyson sitting at a campfire, well-bundled against the cold, visions of times past flashing in the flickering flames. The soft rumble of his voice tells you that it's time to talk of dogs and wolves and evolution. But this isn't hypothetical, because there is a goddamned wolf trying to eat our goddamned scientist. You can keep Liam Neeson. Tyson chasing off wolves with a torch is all I need in my primitive survival scenarios.
From there, we launch again into some animation. I was skeptical in the first episode, I'm not usually a fan of the animated interludes, but the ones in this show are beautiful. They've made a clear artistic choice to keep the animated sequences all rendered in the same style. They're visually distinct, not trying for anything approaching realism that just falls flat into the uncanny valley. There's also a retro vibe of old school seventies and eighties animation from educational television that seems like it should be offputting but is instead just the right bit of nostalgia to make it all work.
One thing about this series that makes it so distinct from other science television is that it is about telling a story. So it jumps almost wildly from topic to topic, but it's building on an underlying theme. Wolves and artificial selection to polar bears and natural selection, to the vast variety of life, to what DNA is, to what extinction does, to what life might look like elsewhere. We're skipping stones across water here on an individual level, each of these items could be the subject of hours in and of itself, but this show is looking at the bigger picture, it's tying those ideas into an overall narrative of how we came to understand the workings of the universe. It's equal parts telling us how evolution works, and how we discovered evolution works.
Tyson is approaching science as a beast of two aspects: it tells us how things got to be the way they are, even as it drives us upwards. It tells us our past as it builds our future. Science is not the story of how the world works, it's the story of how we figured out that we could understand the way the world works.
And we again have broadsides, beautiful thundering leveling of charges of arrogance on those who refuse to believe that they don't already have the answers handing down from high. Again and again he sets up the old arguments that scientists can't know what they're talking about, the contrived email chain logic of "half an eye is no good so obviously evolution is false and scientists are idiots" and knocks them down with the quick strokes of narrative, of "this is what we know and how we know it."
Tyson exquisitely brings to the forefront the pride of ignorance. It's easy to be certain, but it's the bravest thing in the world to be uncertain. That's what science is: admitting that we can be wrong, admitting that we don't know. It's about pointing out just how tiny we are in the scope of the universe, and highlighting the perverse arrogance of thinking that you are the center of the universe when it is so much bigger than you even deign to admit.
But more: despite this scale, and despite our own miniscule place in it all, we can understand it. It's this spine-tingling act of defiance that captures the best of what science is. The universe is so vast that we are but specks of star dust, and yet from that darkness of an unthinking world, we have dared to believe that we can matter. Science is the greatest story of an underdog imaginable.
