Long layered hairstyles look fantastic even if they are very simple. In case you are lucky to have long hair yet feel unsure about how to style it, you are in the right place at the right time. Not every lady manages to grow long hair. Some girls simply can't surpass their "genetic length", others struggle with the issue of brittleness, so the new growth is not evident in the terms of length. And for some of us it's just a burden that we do not want to carry on our shoulders even for the sake of beauty. If you find yourself in the last situation, layered haircuts are the best solution to retain your envious length and relieve yourself of much weight, meaning literally. We have prepared for you 80 most beautiful and eye-catching long layered hairstyles.
#44: Chocolate Highlighted Hair
Long hairstyles for women can be few and far between. That's why hair color is the spice of hair life and a great way to complement a great layered cut. Spice up your dull long brown locks by throwing in some honey-colored highlights to lighten things up — literally.

Outstanding undergraduate OSU students who have completed 105 of their required 180 credits (or more for some undergraduate programs) toward their degree with an overall GPA of 3.25 or better are eligible to apply to an OSU Accelerated Master's Platform during their junior year. Postbaccalaureate students do not qualify for AMP.
With careful planning, students could complete a master's degree within one year beyond completion of the bachelors degree requirements. Students admitted to the co-degree program must maintain a GPA of 3.0 or better throughout their undergraduate and master's degree programs, or they will be subject to dismissal from the AMP.
Successful applicants are allowed to apply a maximum of 12 graduate credits (taken for a letter grade and not including blanket-numbered courses), taken as an undergraduate, to both their undergraduate and master's degrees. An illustration of how this would work for an undergraduate program requiring 180 credit hours is shown below. (Note that some undergraduate programs require more than 180 credit hours.)
These 12 credits are deducted from the allowed 15 transfer credits for students who have transferred into OSU. Courses transferred must meet current graduate transfer credit guidelines (see the catalog for current guidelines.) In addition, those students in the Honors College, or in other undergraduate programs that require a thesis, may use the undergraduate thesis as a step towards completion of the master's thesis. However, the undergraduate thesis would not serve as a replacement for a required master's thesis.
Admission to the AMP is not automatic and will be competitive with students applying directly to the graduate program. Students must identify a graduate advisor prior to applying to the AMP. Students applying to a graduate program that requires a thesis for their master's degree must have a graduate faculty member who agrees to serve as the thesis advisor prior to application. For students who are completing an undergraduate thesis, this could be the student's thesis advisor. For students in non-thesis master's programs, the selected graduate advisor must be willing to work with the student to guide the scheduling of required coursework and facilitate the completion of the capstone project.
Applicants must meet English language proficiency standards per the Graduate Catalog. The following steps must also be completed by all applicants to the AMP:
Students enrolled in an AMP will be eligible for financial aid (Pell Grant) until they complete their undergraduate degree. Once the undergraduate degree requirements are met, the student may be supported on a graduate teaching or research assistantship, or the student will pay graduate tuition and fees. The bachelor's degree will be conferred after all requirements for the bachelor's degree are met. The master's degree will be conferred after all requirements for the master's degree are met.
Will students receive any kind of documentation once accepted?
Yes. Students will receive a pre-admission letter for their graduate program from the Graduate School.
What term are students applying for?
There are two terms: one for the AMP, the time in which undergraduate students are allowed to double count 12 graduate credits, and one for starting graduate school, after the award of the bachelor's degree. These terms are typically one year apart. The AMP code will automatically select the AMP and graduate school start terms for the student when they begin their application.
Can students use graduate classes they have already taken as an undergraduate before being accepted into the AMP?
No. Retro-actively applying credits is not allowed.
Where do I get my AMP codes?
Login at the bottom of this page. Once you login and come back to this page scroll to the bottom of the page and your codes will be listed.
What if I need new AMP codes?
Please contact the Graduate Education Toolkit.
How do students apply?
They use the regular Graduate School application, but enter their AMP code at the beginning of the process after creating their account. Please see the apply page for more information and a downloadable step-by-step guide.

Gino LegalTech (Gino LT) launches the first platform for lawyers to robotise their contracts.
From word processing to concept management
The legal profession today faces three challenges:
- an exponential growth in number and complexity of contracts
- an increasingly performance-based evaluation of lawyers' activity
- automatic retrieval of contractual data for management purposes as well as for cognitive computing (i.e. systems which create knowledge from data)
The answer to these challenges is to provide lawyers with a means to robotise their contracts autonomously and efficiently, without assistance from IT support.
Robotisation provides lawyers – whether in-house counsels or at law firms – with the ability to transmit to a digital system the knowledge it needs in order to emulate their own drafting process: interactive questioning of the client to define requirements and drafting of the contract according to the answers.
In practice, Gino LT leveraged new technology in order to conceive a user-friendly SaaS platform that enables any legal practitioner to robotise contracts as they are being drafted, by simply enriching the text with instructions that are easy to implement.
Robotising contracts brings about a paradigm shift in drafting methods: lawyers no longer need to tediously cut & paste text, they now simply manage concepts. This is only the first step, for the legal profession, in harnessing artificial intelligence for contract-drafting purposes.
Contract robotisation is lawyers' future El Dorado
"In the next 10 years, lawyers will have to reinvent most of the law in order to provide a legal framework for the new world emerging; they will need more time and space for creativity, which is something artificial intelligence will provide them with. Contract robotisation will be their Holy Grail," Philippe Ginestié
Lawyers will create one robot for each type of contract (NDA, shareholders' agreement, service contracts, employment contracts, leases…) and enrich each robot with the particulars of each new situation encountered, with any new legal development and with increasingly refined writing.
Lawyers will therefore capitalise on their contract-drafting knowledge over time by creating robots – which will represent significant assets.
Through the use of robots, a lease contract will take a lawyer 20 min instead of 2 – 6 hours to draft; a shareholders' agreement will take 30 min instead of 8 – 15 hours.
By allowing co-workers or third parties (salespeople, buyers, HR officers…) to also use their robots, lawyers will increase their reach and efficiency. A large number of contracts, all in conformity with the norms enacted by the lawyers, will be produced without any need for the lawyers' intervention – except in cases where negotiations lead to an alteration of these norms.
Moreover, all the data related to each contract will automatically be entered into corporations' or law firms' information systems.
About Gino LegalTech
Gino LegalTech was founded by Philippe Ginestié, lawyer and founder of the Ginestié Magellan Paley-Vincent law firm.
The company has inherited 10 years' worth of accumulated research & development by Ginerativ, which implemented the first generation of contractual robots.

Think you've got your whole life ahead of you to do all the things you want to do? Think again. Alex Lewis was diagnosed with bone cancer at the age of 17 and died at 22. In the time in between he lived his life more than many of us do in 80 years.
He got married, went cliff diving and made a parachute jump. He went to Australia to visit friends, having booked tickets only two days before as a spur-of-the-moment decision.
My point is that no-one knows what will happen to them tomorrow. You can't assume that you have all the time in the world because you might not. It's not always easy. You will be constrained by money and by time, but work at it. You don't want to get hit by a bus tomorrow and realise that you never got around to seeing the Taj Mahal or driving a Ferrari, or whatever is on your own list. Write your list down and start thinking about how you can achieve the items on it.

Anyway I am still plowing through my lake pictures because as usual, I took far too many. It's hard not to keep shooting when the kids look like they are having an absolute blast. Plus as I said to my husband when my daughter and then later my niece took a spill and I captured it, that's why you keep shooting. With something like this, you never know when the decisive moment will be so it is better to be prepared. And the way that I stay prepared and keep paying attention is to keep shooting. It was so funny too, a couple of people thanked me for taking pictures of all the kids. I acknowledged the thanks but didn't tell them that I had an absolute blast. Since 2 straight hours of hanging off the end of a boat taking pictures is probably not everyone's idea of fun, I figured that if I said that they would think I was sarcastic or kidding or worse, crazy. You know, my sister-in-law nailed it the other day when we were talking about professional photographers and she said, "Some shoot to live and some live to shoot." Perfect description (I definitely fall into the latter category).
This is my niece flipping over onto my daughter. My daughter also ended up flipping but I had stopped shooting to give the boat's captain a head's up that we lost someone. By the way, yesterday was this niece's 13th birthday. I would like to wish her a very happy belated birthday. Welcome to teenhood, go easy on your mom, okay?

Russell Simmons to Executive Produce Eric B. & Rakim's Concert Film
Last Friday, Eric B & Rakim reunited at Harlem's Apollo Theater.
There, they celebrated the 30th anniversary of Paid in Full, by performing together for the first time in 20 years.
WATCH: Rakim Announces New Album, Gives A Proper Evaluation Of Kendrick Lamar & J. Cole On MONTREALITY
The show was one for the ages; there were appearances from EPMD, Ice T, Slick Rick, Fat Joe, Kid Capri, Mase, Kool Herc, and Roxanne Shanté.
The show was so great that a concert film and documentary is being developed around the night. The documentary will be produced by Russell Simmons, who will be partnering up his All Def Digital brand with Sessions X, an on demand video streaming app, and Talsa Media.
READ: Eric B. & Rakim Announce Reunion, Upcoming Tour
Billboard broke the story of the documentary. In a statement released by Eric B, the legendary DJ said:
"With [agent] Cara Lewis handling the show, Russell managing the film and all of our friends joining us on our homestage of the Apollo, we really got the Paid in Full Posse back together for an amazing night celebrating the culture of Hip Hop."
Simmons also put out a statement:
"I'm thrilled that the world, and a new generation, will have the opportunity to witness the creative spark that Eric B. and Rakim lit in hip hop…The duo moved the culture forward, and DJs and MCs to this day stand on their shoulders. I'm honored to work again with these great artists."
This is not the first time the two entities worked together. In 1987, when Eric B. & Rakim released Paid in Full they were signed under Rush Management.

By Jeremy Shepherd, North Shore News
March 13, 2018 – There's reason to hope. Just like last year, a group of volunteers with rose-coloured glasses and bleary eyes woke up in cars, church pews and under the piano of St. John's Anglican Church just off Chesterfield Avenue.
They'd spent Feb. 24 searching for Mr. Sandman in the hopes they might spur donations that would benefit the Lookout Society's homeless shelter.
But when the sun came up and the money was counted, they found they'd smashed last year's total of $10,400. At press time, the team had raised $17,880, "astonishingly close" to hitting their goal of $20,000, organizer Donna Lawrence noted.
The event attracted more volunteers, including North Vancouver-Lonsdale MLA Bowinn Ma, who touted the event in the B.C. legislature.
"I'm privileged enough to be able to choose to spend only one night without a home," Ma said.
The most recent report from the North Shore Homelessness Task Force found 736 homeless people on the North Shore in 2016, as well as 295 residents at imminent risk of homelessness.
Speaking to the North Shore News in 2017, Lookout Emergency Aid Society North Shore shelter manager Bailey Mumford discussed the families, women, seniors and young people increasingly turned away from the shelter.
"Turn-aways are definitely on the rise … that's just because of a lack of affordable housing stock right across the board for all demographics on the North Shore," he said.

BC Poverty Reduction Strategy
Too many people are struggling to make ends meet, earn a living wage, or find and keep affordable housing. Too many families are suffering without basic necessities, relying on food banks, going hungry or sending their children to school hungry.
As a first step, the B.C. government raised income assistance and disability rates by $100 per month to help people who need it most. There's more to do. One of the critical next steps is to build and implement a province-wide poverty reduction plan with targets and timelines. Your feedback will help us understand what poverty looks like in communities across B.C., and how we can best take action to improve people's lives.

In blog entry 178 I have provided an example of how we fail to see what's obvious, if it does not fit our preconceived ideas. Before I move to ideologies currently at work in shaping what one may call the Zeitgeist – the spirit of our time – let me cast a look on the opposite process: inventing the invisible – or if you prefer the less euphonious "inventing the non-existent".
Pity the Cagots of old – fortunately hardly anyone knows about them these days. They have vanished from the collective consciousness of west of France and northern Spain where they were shunned, despised and persecuted for a good one thousand years[1]. They were "untouchable" and had their own holy water stoops.
Cagots were forced to use a side entrance to churches, often an intentionally low one to force Cagots to bow and remind them of their subservient status, and they were seated along the northern (and coldest) wall of the church.
I've chosen the Cagots because historians have been unable to identify any cause or reason for the emergence of discrimination against this group. It would seem that its existence is exclusively a "path-dependent outcome" of some long forgotten contingency[2]. In the darkness of time a "difference" was construed – the reason was immaterial. The initial belief recruits its own web of supporting evidence. Once culturally established, this difference took on a life of its own[3], and was transmitted as prejudice through the ages[4]. Even should you take the initial fact away: the web of explanation is strong enough to support the belief without it.
Cagots are no longer persecuted; most French people don't even know that they ever existed. Their descendants probably live on still as clusters of families practicing mild forms of endogamy.[5]
This is not the only instance of such "invented differences". Fifty years ago I remember doubling over from laughter as I watched the comedy called "The Talisman" at the Burgtheater in Vienna. The farce had been written by Johann NESTROY in 1840 as an adaptation from a French vaudeville play. The play describes the tribulations of a pretty redhead discriminated because of her hair, which people took as revealing sign of shifty "foxiness" (foxes have a bad reputation in many cultures).
Social capacity to invent mirrors social capacity to ignore. In either case the process may start out as a contingent event. Positive social feedbacks are inherent among people as we emulate one another in order to achieve social recognition. It is the well-known route: "I like what you like – I hate what you hate." It has its uses, for it hastens consensus. It also has drawbacks: when it attaches to differences – invented or otherwise – it can become an instrument of exclusion.
This phenomenon I'll discuss in the next blog entries.
[1] Here are instances of the treatment meted out to them. They were required to live in separate quarters in towns, called cagoteries, which were often on the far outskirts of the villages. Cagots were excluded from all political and social rights. They were only allowed to enter a church by a special door, and during the service a rail separated them from the other worshipers. Either they were altogether forbidden to partake of the sacrament, or the holy wafer was given to them on the end of a wooden spoon, while a holy water stoup was reserved for their exclusive use. They were compelled to wear a distinctive dress, to which, in some places, was attached the foot of a goose or duck (whence they were sometimes called "Canards"). They may have been made to wear a red web-footed marker. So pestilential was their touch considered that it was a crime for them to walk the common road barefooted or to drink from the same cup as non-Cagots. The Cagots were restricted to the trades of carpenter, butcher, and rope-maker. See also http://bit.ly/Q5Ibdu
[2] For a discussion of such concepts see Paul PIERSON (2004): Politics in time. History, institutions, and social analysis. Princeton University Press, Princteon. Also: Douglass C. NORTH 1994): Institutions, institutional change and economic performance. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge.
[3] Psychologists have long discovered prophecies can be self-fulfilling and self-perpetuating. See e.g. G. DOWNEY et al. (1998): The self-fulfilling prophecy in close relationships: Rejection sensitivity and rejection by romantic partners. Journal of Personality & Social Psychology 75: 545–60.
[4] Cagots had no physical characteristics identifying them. Cultural tools were used to transmit the stigma, like rhyming songs that kept the names of Cagot families known.
[5] I found the first reference to Cagots in Graham ROBB (2009): The discovery of France. A historical geography from the Revolution to the Fist World War. Norton, New York. Here is what he has to say: "Nearly all the old and modern theories are unsatisfactory… the real "mystery of the cagots" was the fact that they had no distinguishing features at all. They spoke whatever dialect was spoken in the region and their family names were not peculiar to the cagots… The only real difference was that, after eight centuries of persecution, they tended to be more skillful and resourceful than the surrounding populations, and more likely to emigrate to America. They were feared because they were persecuted and might therefore seek revenge." (pg. 44-46)

The Final Frontier
I've spent the last few hours (and a few hours over a few days earlier in the week) cleaning out my office. I'm nowhere near done.
So far I've found paperwork dating back around 10 years; 6 exploded batteries; a single unworn high heel shoe; a newspaper from last week; an extra power supply for a flat-screen TV that was installed at the pub Adam used to work at; a half-full jar of peanut butter; several unused, unwrapped, and flattened tampons; two McDonalds coffee loyalty cards, each with two stickers; coins from a handful of countries; a copy of a database I was working on 6 years ago; a candle; countless receipts; a backpack full of skeins of yarn; endless bus tickets; and a box that, even in light of all that, should still be considered the 'miscellaneous' box.
I do this wherever I live. I move in, dump a load of crap in the room that's meant to be my office, and then fight against it for several months. Eventually, I get to today. The day I make space.
This always inevitably involves moving everything out and then slowly putting things back in. It involves the purchase of organising items, shelves, file cabinets, plastic drawers, and cork boards. It involves finally hanging up the pictures, clearing off the desk, and at least vaguely organising the bookcases.
It always involves injury of some sort (bashed thumbs, paper cuts, and stubbed toes are the most common), and always ends up with an office that looks nothing like its predecessors. Every room has its own soul, and it's just a matter of bashing it enough so that things fit in and it all seems somewhat meant to be.
My current office is almost twice the size of my last one, yet I don't know how to fit things in. My stuff is somehow water-like in its amorphousness. give it space and it will fill it. Sometimes it will pour out into the hall and require constant stepping over.
So far, it's going well. There seems to be a logic of the room coming together, and within a few more hours, should be near finished, and just waiting on the purchase of organising things.

Book Sharing Monday (xi)
This week we have chosen One Summer Day by Kim Lewis. It ties in nicely with our weekend farm visit (see Shadow Shot Sunday), and, of course the wonderful warm summer weather we have been having.
Max is a toddler who lives in the country. One hot day he is looking out of the window when he sees a big red tractor drive by. Of course, he is desperate to get a closer look and jumps down to get his coat on. When he gets back to the window, the tractor is gone! His friend Sara - a big girl, luckily, stops by and takes him out for a walk. On the way they stop and see lots of things....
...but at last they round a corner and there in the field is...
Great stuff! Share more books on Mondays with Alex.

BAINIMARAMA: DOWNER DOESNâT UNDERSTAND
SUVA, Fiji (Fijilive, Dec. 31) – Fiji's army commander Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama has revealed that he had told Australia three weeks before the coup that he intended to remove the government of deposed Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase.
"Foreign Minister Alexander Downer knew," he said in an interview with The Australian newspaper.
"I told him (Downer) through the Defence Attache in Suva, Colonel Ron."
Commodore Bainimarama said he was disappointed rather than angered by Australia's stance.
"We are very disappointed that Downer doesn't see things our way here in Fiji but that does not mean we want to cut ties," he said. "(He) calls me a bully because we pressure people through the gun. But I told him: 'These are the same guns that saved Fiji from George Speight in 2000'."
The military chief said Australia and its Foreign Minister failed to understand the true nature of events in Fiji.
"(Mr Downer is) harping on about democracy," he said. "Everyone knows that democracy isn't about numbers in an election. It's about the rule of law, it's about good governance, law and order which this last government has not provided," Commodore Bainimarama said.

Many young careerists – even those with a couple internships under their belt – feel as though their resume and LinkedIn profiles are, for lack of a better word, lacking. And sometimes this is true – especially when you're up against someone with three, five and even ten years of at least

It might drive our employees nuts sometimes, but they're probably all pretty used to CEO Faith Rothberg and me trying to use data whenever possible to drive our decision making processes. So it likely won't come as much of a surprise to you that we're both quite intrigued by the increasing awareness and use of Big Data.
Wikipedia defines Big Data as "a collection of data sets so large and complex hat it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications." Think databases with millions of pieces of data and, quite likely, messy data in that a lot of data is missing. Cheap, powerful computers are making the analysis of Big Data economically feasible.

I admit it. I have a lot of pet peeves. I'm generally a positive person and appreciative of the beauty of our world and the beauty within others, but some things really tick me off. One of those is how incredibly horrible it is for job seekers to search for and especially apply to jobs using their cell phones and other mobile devices. Quite simply, the candidate experience is atrocious.
My friends, Mark Mehler and Gerry Crispin of CareerXroads, recently released a new white paper on how employers are using mobile recruitment market. The verdict: some progress but a whole lot of room for improvement. The white paper was based on a survey of human resource executives from large organizations and builds on a similar survey conducted two years earlier. This time, Mark and Gerry reported that a larger percentages of the companies surveyed have activity in mobile recruiting. For example: (more…)

I just changed insurance companies after being with AAA for 10 years for my home policy. I have nothing against AAA, but Sunny sits in the office next to me and he finally convinced me to change. Yesterday when I mentioned a client of mine had a metal roof, he started talking about how they're given levels of rating by Underwriter Labs (UL). The better the roof, the bigger the discount offered on the home insurance policy. See his letter below.
Hi Sunil,
Welcome to the American National Family, I really appreciate you giving me a chance to be of service to you and am looking forward to our friendship for the times to come.
For your clients who need roof replacement, they should be aware that there is UL rating given to roofs and American National gives an extra discount for the insurance premium based on roofs with better UL ratings. Other insurance companies probably offer that discount as well. Documentation is needed to get the discount. Ask the contractor to provide proof of the UL rating for the roof installed, in order to save more on their home insurance policy.
Thanks and Regards,

Photo of Snake on a Colorado Grill is a Big Bag of Heck No
It's a beautiful Colorado summer evening and you're getting ready to grill up some delicious grub. With your apron draped over your neck, you head to the grill only to discover a giant snake hanging out. Looks like you're ordering pizza.
A homeowner in Westminster, Colo. called the Colorado Association of Animal Control to report a huge bullsnake resting on their grill. The snake was using the grill as a perch trying to get his own BBQ, a couple of baby robins in a nest.
Bullsnakes are very common in Colorado. As menacing as they look, they are a nonvenomous species but are known for being pricks. According to Wikipedia, when the snake feels threatened, it will rear up, start hissing and strike in an effort to get away.
The Colorado Association of Animal Control suggests residents stay on trails when hiking and keep their dogs on leash to prevent any injuries to you, your dog or the snake.

Oil Futures Higher After Bullish Data
NEW YORK (DTN) -- New York Mercantile Exchange oil futures posted moderate gains after the Energy Information Administration reported that U.S. petroleum inventories were drawn down last week by more than expected.
The EIA's report for the week-ended July 14 showed domestic crude oil stocks declined by 4.7 million bbl to 490.6 million bbl, with gasoline supply down 4.4 million bbl while distillates stocks tumbled 2.1 million bbl.
The market expected a crude stock draw of 3 million bbl, stock build of 1.0 million bbl in gasoline inventories and a distillate fuel increase of 1.5 million bbl.
The EIA report was bullish in terms of crude compared to a report issued Tuesday by the American Petroleum Institute showing a crude stock build of 1.6 million bbl.
"[This is] another very bullish headline report as all three categories reported draws," said analyst Kyle Copper at IAF Advisors in Houston. "Petroleum demand rebounded to above 21 million bpd and total petroleum stocks fell over 10 million bpd. This significantly expanded the deficit to last year while reducing the surplus to the 5-year average."
At last look, the August WTI futures contract was up 56cts at $46.96 bbl while September contract rose 56cts to $46.75 bbl. The August contract expires Thursday.
The IntercontinentalExchange September Brent crude futures contract was up 62cts at $49.46 bbl.
The August ULSD futures contract was 3.13cts higher at $1.5417 gallon while the August RBOB futures contract added 2.74cts to $1.5964 gallon.

You can be successful when you are using network marketing and you work hard at it. Below are a handful of intelligent and proven methods to manage your network marketing endeavor towards success.
Using available software and technology is a major foundation of Web marketing. If your company happens to fall behind the technology curb, the competition could leave you in the dust. Show them that you know about new innovations, and you will get respect.
Add your website as a link in each signature block you use. If you participate in forums, place a link to your site in the signature of your posts. In addition, put a link in the signatures of all your personal emails. This is a way to subtly advertise your website and could increase your ratings in search engines too. Place a captivating line above the link, which will encourage them to click your link.
Try to make a subtle, non-flashy website. When someone comes to your website you have about five seconds to capture their attention and make them want to stay. If your site doesn't look interesting by then, your potential customers are probably gone.
Keeping an eye on your competition is an important part of website marketing. It does not matter what industry you are a part of, there will always be competitors.
It is important that while you are working in internet marketing, you are always aware of what your competition is doing. Whatever aspect of the market you're poised to capitalize on, others will be working that angle too.
A great way to make your site user friendly is to include a FAQ section which is frequently asked questions. A quick answer to their question will make them feel that your website is helpful and friendly. Customers are more likely to continue ordering from a website that is easy to navigate.
Allow customers to leave ratings and (screened) reviews of your products, including explanations of why they chose those ratings. You can use honest feedback from your customers to improve your products. In addition, the reviews that describe the pros and cons about your products help other potential customers make better decisions about purchasing.
Blogs are one of the best tools at your disposal for enhancing your internet marketing success. A blog is one more way to stay in touch with clients. Blogs will also increase your content. This will raise your visibility with search engines and increase visitor traffic.
Video marketing is an increasingly important tool you can put into your business's Website marketing toolbox. Create videos of yourself demonstrating your products and share them on sites such as YouTube. A unique picture with an interesting title can help grab a person's attention and help make a sale.
A CRM–or customer relationship management–database can really boost your online marketing efforts. You can investigate what products are sold most often and consider than when you advertise. These customers can further be targeted by tailoring personal correspondence that promotes products that accessorize or complement those that they've already purchased.
Nothing will drive customers away faster than spam. Although it might seem easy to promote your site using software that crawls the web and fires off comments and e-mails, you probably won't be very successful at all. The vast majority of readers will ignore your automated messages, and you will not earn any favor with the owners of the blogs you spam.
If you have ad space on your website, consider selling the space to a major company. This looks good to your viewers and validates your presence in the market. Having your company's name next to a well-known brand can cause your visitors to associate your company with the other, transferring the trust they have with them to you and your business. This can help you bring in more visitors and can help your standing as a reputable business.
Try placing banners where they don't look like banners. Make them look as if they are links that can be clicked in order to get to more content. When people recognize a banner for what it is, they are reluctant to click on it.
Putting free samples and coupons inside the boxes when you ship customers orders that are related to the product is a great idea. The coupons will be looked at as a great incentive, and they will be more likely to visit your site again.
Take these tips, and put them to use in your business. They have enough information to help you use network marketing effectively.

Meet EVELYN Q. DARLING, Romance Reporter at Large, in her first blog today:
In the past, creating a job for a romantic heroine usually meant she was either a governess, a nurse, or in the early twentieth century, a "typewriter,†better known as a secretary.
Take a letter, Miss Jones…
To all writers of romance novels.
Dear Miss, Ms. or Madam:
It has come to this reporter's attention that several of you have veered away from writing about governesses in dark, gloomy manor houses and pert, red-cheeked nurses and turned to writing about heroines who carry guns, sport black leather and can take a man down in fifty seconds flat.
What happened to the days when all a heroine had to do to get her man was flutter her black lace fan and bat her soot-caked eyelashes? (Ample cleavage didn't hurt either.)
It was so much easier when all a writer had to worry about was how many flounces graced her heroine's gown or the number of hooks on a corset. (A heroine's age at marriage also determined the size of her waist: if she wed at 18, she aspired that her waist remained at 18 inches.)
And if all else failed, there was always the "smart†heroine who wrote novels, solved mysteries or planted her delicate boots on foreign soil and showed her moxie by becoming a globe-trotting adventuress.
Sigh. Ah, for the good ole days before our heroines decided they wanted equal rights between the sheets. And on the job.
Now to create the modern heroine, a romance writer has to know the difference between a Glock and a Sig Sauer (the latter sounds like a deli sandwich).
Be able to "street speak†in urban fantasies, suck blood without smudging her lipstick in vampire thrillers and shape-shift into an exotic creature with all her parts intact.
So I'm asking all you romance writers to drop me a line and tell me what "dangerous professions†for a heroine you've seen in recent novels or in a novel you're writing.
What's new for a heroine in the 21st century in the world of "9 to 5†that you haven't seen or written about before?
I'll be eagerly awaiting your answers.
Who knows?
Maybe we can start a new trend: Dangerous heroines in tight corsets and red high heels who live in an abandoned subway tunnel and belong to a secret society of lusty Victorian vampires who feed on handsome firefighters.
Then again, maybe not.
Best regards,
Evelyn Q. Darling

The Torrox Spanish History Group: The Torrox Spanish History group will not be meeting on the 6th at our usual meeting place in the El Parquesol restaurant, instead we are going on a coach trip to the Medina Azahara which lies just outside of Cordoba. The Medina was built by Abd-ar-Rahman III c912-961, the first Umayyad Caliph of Cordoba. The city includes ceremonial reception halls, mosque, administrative and government offices, gardens and workshops as well as baths.
In December we will be meeting on the 4th and Keith (Rockall) will give his final talk on the Romans and I will give an overview of my talk on Federica Garthia Lorca. I will go into more detail at a later date. This is with a view to organising a coach trip to where Lorca was born; where he grew up and where he was shot as well as where he was supposed to be buried although recent excavations of the site have not revealed any trace of Lorca. If there is time we will also visit the Federico Garvia Lorca Park, situated in the municipality of Alfacar where it is believed he was assassinated in 1936.
The Torrox Spanish History Group meets every first Tuesday of the month at El Parquesol in El Morche. If you would like to join a friendly and informative history group and enjoy the company of like minded people then contact me on patricianerja at hotmail.com.

Editor Suggests: Computer Artificial Intellegence (AI) Lie Detectors Coming to EU Travel Hubs! A number of border control checkpoints in the European Union are about to get increasingly—and unsettlingly—futuristic. In Hungary, Latvia, and Greece, travelers will be given an automated lie-detection test—by an animated AI border agent. The virtual border control agent will ask travelers questions after they've passed through the checkpoint. Questions include, "What's in your suitcase?" and "If you open the suitcase and show me what is inside, will it confirm that your answers were true?" according to New Scientist. The system reportedly records travelers' faces using AI to analyze 38 micro-gestures, scoring each response. The virtual agent is reportedly customized according to the traveler's gender, ethnicity, and language. For travelers who pass the test, they will receive a QR code that lets them through the border. If they fail the virtual agent will reportedly get more serious, and if the AI remains suspicious the traveler will be handed off to a human agent.

Bad News For iPhone and SmartWatch Fans:
-Hacked! It's only been a day since Apple released iOS 12.1 and an iPhone enthusiast in Spain has managed to find a passcode bypass hack, once again, that could allow anyone to see all contacts' private information on a locked iPhone. So simple it's scary considering how Apple claims to be very secure! Selling easily hacked €1000 mobiles won't impress the shareholders. Full article: https://thehackernews.com/2018/10/iphone-ios-passcode-bypass.html
-Bricked! Apple has pulled an update for its smartwatches after many owners complained the software had caused their devices to stop working. The problem appears to have baffled Apple's repair staff, and there's no way at present for owners to restore the products themselves. They have been told they need to send in the devices for a fix. Since Apple Repair has no fix for the smartwatches yet these are probably being replaced, not repaired.
Apple said it intended to release a revised update soon. Those affected reported that their watches had become stuck in a state showing the Apple logo – but nothing else – on their screens. Full article: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-46045414

Friend Finder: We're looking to get in touch with Paul Smith. Paul and his wife live in Torrox. We have been away for quite a while and when we returned we heard that Paul had also returned but no-one seems to be at the house. It would be good to catch up. If you know if Paul is still in the area please let me know. If Paul is reading this email me it would be good to catch up with you.

We're outside junkies. Nature junkies. Plant hoarders.
It's nearly an addiction.
Bealer grew up on a farm and I have no real excuse…I just looove plants.
So this year, we decided to build a greenhouse of sorts so we could start our garden early
and have something to entertain our stir crazy souls in the bleak of winter.
My parents recently moved from their huge house into a cute little 1925 bungalow.
They needed to replace the old windows….so we got them!
So what started with a garden bench…
|Garden bench made with old tongue & groove, used truck lumber and other recycled materials.
Turned into this…
The entire project which was supervised by this…
|Carl the very lazy supervisor.
Who sometimes had to crack the whip…
|Get to work!
It's our first greenhouse so we've been monitoring the temperatures day and night.
(A day/night thermometer which records temperature high and low for each day does exist, but we like to kick it old school.)
We have a small space heater in the middle of the room and so far, during our coldest nights (about 5 degrees outside) it's been above 36 degrees in the greenhouse.
On average, it's about 23 degrees warmer in than out.
|Outside temp today.

Will religion bethe time-bomb for Nigeria's latest transition to civilianrule?
Special to USAfricaonline.com
Did God mandate thesefolks to kill in His name?
Or, are some religions truly the opium of the masses;
and, if I may, the narcotic of the elite?
Religion has remained a core, largely divisive part of the politicsof regions and ethnicity in Nigeria. Raw appeal to the religiouspersuasion of candidates for public office are common. The Bible andthe Koran have become part of the staple of playing the divide andconquer strategy in the geopolitics of the country of almost 110million largely boisterous citizens. It has been so even long beforeNigeria's political independence of October 1, 1960.
In fact, since the British colonialist, LordLugard, led the amalgamation of the northern and southern regions ofNigeria in 1914, the Sokoto Caliphate, the Roman Catholic Church andthe Anglican church and its other variations have had ample leverageon who governs Nigeria. This reality was underscored by the power ofthe Sultan of Sokoto since 1890s until the late and infamous Gen.Sani Abacha came and plucked the previously influential IbrahimDasuki from the throne.
Even the late Alhaji/Basorun M.K.O Abiola, aYoruba from President Olusegun Obasanjo's home state in the southwestof Nigeria, Ogun, was a major architect of Nigeria's presence in thecontroversial Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC). He would havepursued this, I believe, largely, to enrich his share of theMuslim/religious vote and bona fides prior to his 3 attempts atbecoming president of Nigeria. The Anglican Archbishop OlubunmiOkogie whom I had the privilege and opportunity to interview in 1988does not make any subtle comments about "the need to have Christiansto become active in improving the moral tone and direction ofNigeria." He is the nightmare of anyone who believes that if you slapa Christian he/she should turn the other cheek. In some sense, he's arevolutionary theologian who believes in protecting the daily run ofevangelism and its adherents.
Fundamentally, it is not enough to treat theissues in Kaduna and Zamfara as isolated cases. USAfricaonline.comand NigeriaCentral.comcan report that 4 other predominantly-Muslim populated states areplanning to introduce their own efforts at following the traditionalSharia laws as their co-religionist and Governor of Zamfara hasdone.
Religious conflicts, among other factors, inthe same northern region of Nigeria where thousands of Igbos andeasterners were killed in 1966-1967 contributed to the declaration ofthe defunct Republic of Biafra. According to the former Biafra leaderIkemba Odumegwu Ojukwu, during an interview I had with him withUSAfrica The Newspaper, "it was necessary in the face of thereligious and physical assault on our people to draw a line of safetywhere they can return... which we called Biafra."
Currently, as the soldiers from theKaduna-based One Mechanized Division and other state securityagencies seek to restore calm in Kaduna, a strategic town which isseen as the heartland of northern Nigerian politics, some questionsremain pertinent. Among them: How will President Obasanjo handle thefestering problems of religious pursuits and his duty to maintain lawand order? It is ironic that the same issues and questions he posed,with a subtle indication that it is not altogether impossible for thefederal government to impose a state of emergency in Lagos due to thewanton brigandage of the Odua Peoples' Congress(OPC), a militantgroup of his fellow Yorubas who have fought and confronted variousinterests including the Governor of Lagos.
Also, how will the National Assembly respond tothe theocratic interests of some Muslims who wish to be governedunder the conservative and strict Islamic Sharia law, under Nigeria'sconstitutionally-mandated secular state? What about the more moderateMuslims who prefer the status quo? Is there a proper understanding ofthe issue of separation of church/mosque and state in Nigeria? Willreligion be the time-bomb for Nigeria's latest transition to civilianrule? Did God mandate these folks to kill in His name? Or are somereligions truly the opium of the masses, and if I may the narcotic ofthe elite? The answer, my friends, is blowing in the wind.

Integrating dairy cattle with pineapple production is an opportunity for closed nutrient cycles and income diversification. However, knowledge, access to inputs, and organized markets are needed as incentive for conversion to organic dairy production.
2019.04.24 |
Integration of livestock into organic pineapple production is essential in closing nutrient cycles as required by organic principles and standards. In integrated crop-livestock systems, the emphasis must be put on biodiversity which promotes efficient nutrient recycling at low cost rather than on the nutrient importation from surrounding areas.
Organic production will continue to grow globally since it offers effective means of satisfying consumer demands for healthy and safe food as well as contributing to non-economic factors such as environmental protection. While some countries in Europe and America practice certified organic livestock production, in Uganda, it is still non-existent. Livestock mainly exists in diversified smallholder farms but are not fully integrated.
Organic pineapple production is becoming very important for smallholder farmers in Uganda due to the prevailing local, regional, and international organic markets. Currently, there are no large-scale producers of organic pineapples in Uganda. Production is exclusively by smallholder contract farmers organized in groups and registered under certified organic export companies which meet the cost of certification.
Due to increased demand for organic livestock products, there are opportunities for smallholder farmers to convert to organic livestock production and benefit from related income diversification that will accrue from increased market share. It is relevant to consider such market-orientated development for sustainable livestock production targeting high-value markets for increased income and employment among smallholder farmers (ICROFS 2010).
A recently published paper by S. Nalubwama, F. Kabi, M. Vaarst, M. Kiggundu and G. Smolder assesses opportunities, challenges, and risk factors of integrating dairy cattle into certified organic pineapple production as perceived by smallholder organic pineapple farmers and their willingness to convert the dairy production on their farms to certified organic.

Qtel moves to address regulator's customer service concerns
Qatar operator to recruit more customer service staff in a bid to cut waiting time and boost efficiency among call centre operators.
Qtel has unveiled a set of measures it hopes will boost customer satisfaction in Qatar as it sets about addressing the telecom regulator's concerns that customers in Qatar are not being properly looked after.
In a series of measures unveiled yesterday, Qatar's incumbent operator said it wants to put an end to customers being transferred from department to department by employees who struggle to resolve complaints and for customer service operators to respond to 80% of calls from customers within 20 seconds.
Walid Al Sayed, executive director of Qtel Customer Service Department, told Qatar daily the Peninsula that Qtel's customer service centre development strategy is based on "comprehensive restructuring and expansion of services to upgrade the centre to world-class".
The measures address some of the concerns expressed to CommsMEA last month by William Fagan, head of the regulatory division of ICTQatar.
He said that both Qtel and rival Vodafone Qatar need to improve the level of service afforded to customers.
Fagan said that while both operators have "sophisticated customer care systems" they were still "work in progress".
"I would say that we are not 100% satisfied with either company how they are doing that. I think they have a lot done, but they have a lot more to do and it something that we will continue to work at," he said.
Qtel said that its customer service department will be divided into two sections under the new set-up, with a band of employees capable of resolving any problem and responding to customer inquiries without transferring them to another department, and another group of technically experienced employees to look after customers' technical problems.
"What we want to see happening is the complaint resolved at the lower level, when the customer speaks with the customer service representative," Fagan said. "This is where a lot of training and change of culture needs to take place. They are moving in the right direction but neither company is there yet," he added.
Qtel's board of directors has agreed to increase the number of customer service centre staff, and they will join the centre in two weeks time, the Peninsula added, with the new strategy set to be implemented in the second quarter of next year.
