According to MAGNA's latest report, OOH advertising is now a $29 billion market, responsible for approximately six per cent of the $500 billion global advertising spending. However, OOH market share increases to 10 per cent to 12 per cent in some countries, including France and Russia, compared with other media categories including Internet, TV, print and radio. OOH market share has remained stable in the last five years, hovering around six per cent. However, as part of its increasing importance in the media mix, OOH market share has increased from eight per cent to 10 per cent of traditional media advertising spend, which includes TV, print, radio and out-of-home, among other categories.
MAGNA Intelligence, in partnership with Rapport, conducted an in-depth survey in 22 key markets including Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, Spain, Thailand, United Kingdom and the United States. The objective of the survey was to assess OOH advertising's sustained growth and impact during a period where offline marketing budgets are stagnating and other media categories are struggling.
The report suggests that OOH remains a mass reach medium, reaching at least half of consumers in most markets and as much as 90 per cent in some. Out-of-home stands alongside TV and radio as a way to communicate at scale. In the majority of markets assessed, OOH reach and audience are mostly immune from the erosion and fragmentation experienced by television or print.
OOH audience measurement continues to improve with technological advancements in areas such as electronic location data and eye-tracking, and markets including the US, UK, and Germany are leading the charge on more sophisticated out-of-home measurement.
Digital OOH (DOOH) is boosting advertising revenues by creating more opportunities for marketers in premium locations like airports or malls, thus increasing the revenue per panel multiple times, the report found. Although digital units account for only five per cent of the global OOH inventory, they already generate 14 per cent of total advertising revenues. DOOH already accounts for 30 per cent of revenues in some markets like the UK and Australia, and the global share is predicted to grow to 24 per cent globally by 2021.
OOH inventory has become more impactful and valuable as according to the study, the total volume of OOH advertising units is not expanding globally. In many markets, it is actually shrinking, as large-format static billboards are being gradually dismantled or replaced by fewer, more high-quality back-lit rolling panels or digital panels. The OOH industry is engaged in a process that feels necessary but complicated for other media categories (TV, radio, print): cutting clutter to increase the impact value of inventory.
Another trend highlighted by the report suggests that transit and street furniture are still developing. In many markets, regulation and public governance have reached a point where transportation authorities and municipalities are ready to partner with OOH vendors to generate advertising revenues. These OOH segments are typically based on long-term contracts (10 to 15 years) and the renewal/RFPs being negotiated now are often the first to come up in the context of affordable digital screens, connectivity and programmatic opportunities which has led to the digital inventory to increase by approximately 30 per cent over the last two years.
The report found that the digital screens have allowed OOH advertising vendors to penetration niche environment allowing to reach young urban population that is otherwise hard to reach by traditional media: offices, elevators, taxi, gyms, bars, retail etc. The "Digital Place-Based" segment offers targeting capabilities and programmatic opportunities.
OOH has now also become addressable and is experimenting with programmatic, according to the report. Programmatic technologies initially developed to automate the trading of online display ads, are now being used in to buy and optimise ad campaigns on connected DOOH units. Programmatic techniques not only optimise the workflow of media-buying but help brands deliver the right ad in the right place and at the right time, using consumer data and mobile location data. Giving advertisers the ability to plan, buy, optimize and measure the effectiveness of their outdoor campaigns through an online platform represents the natural evolution of OOH's technology-driven transformation with many vendors developing Private Marketplaces (PMP).
Mike Cooper, Global CEO of Rapport said, "With the explosive growth of digital-out-of-home (DOOH), the diversified lifestyle touch points it reaches, and the veritable mountain of mobile driven audience data, we are best positioned to accurately, and in real-time, track audiences and deliver contextually relevant messages through out-of-home media. OOH's sustained growth on a global scale will further enable us to create engaging consumer experiences."
Vincent Létang, EVP, Global Market Intelligence at MAGNA said, "Thanks to favorable lifestyle evolutions, innovation and investment from media owners and public authorities, OOH has been the only 'traditional' media category to show consistent growth in the last ten years, while TV and radio have stagnated and print sales have declined. MAGNA predicts this will continue: OOH advertising revenue will grow by 3 per cent to 4 per cent per year in the next five years to reach $33 billion by 2021.

Last Saturday, I went for a job interview at a restaurant near my home. Sitting down in the manager's office, I felt nervous. This was the first time I had tried to work. I didn't know how to proceed. After the manager had asked me a few questions, I began to relax. She was friendly and thus I stated to feel more confident. Then she continued to ask:
"Have you ever had any previous work experiences in restaurant? " the manager asked.
"I haven't had any work experiences before" I answered nervously. "But I will try my best to do well on the job; in addition, I can get along with people easily"
"Why do you want to come here to work?" she continued asked
"I not only can have more social experiences than others but know many people who are from different background as well." I answered confidently "Now my major in school is also about the things of restaurants so it makes me have more interests in doing the job."
"I see. Then your hourly pay is $ 95 and when would you like to start your work?" she asked
"Do you mean I am hired? I can start my work next Monday." I answered happily.
"Yes, you have been hired and remember to work next Monday" she answered
At that time, I was so excited to hear the news and I thought I would do the job very well.

The first daily organizer proven to grow your business's bottom line.
The Profit Planner empowers entrepreneurs to confidently manage their business, increase their profits, and kick overwhelm to the curb.
"It feels like a JOURNAL, and works like a guide. Your daily practice can now include making money and managing your money, thoughtfully, in 12 week sprints. You know that being a business owner comes with many challenges. Yet, making smart decision based on knowing your numbers doesn't have to be one. 12 week sprints-Created for entrepreneurs by entrepreneurs."
The Profit Planner is different from every other organizer and business book out there…
Grows your business by focusing on the key to success: knowing what to do with your financial numbers and when!
12-week daily planner organizes your tasks and activities for an entire business quarter, reducing entrepreneur overwhelm.
Enables you to take home more money with a proven process that focuses on productivity and profitability.
"The Profit Planner is everything I never knew I needed as a business owner, mom of two kids, and someone that likes making money. Being able to increase my profitability in small size chunks, one day at a time, with someone that clearly knows bookkeeping, has been invaluable. It's a bonus that I can still plan my day out as well as learn more about my business!"
Designed for Entrepreneurs by an Entrepreneur
As a Chief Financial Officer for over 10 years I loved accounting but felt like something was missing while just helping investors and board of directors of large companies.
That's when I realized I had a certain thrill for helping entrepreneurs, especially women, who were breaking the rules of business in order to create something amazing – something the rest of the world didn't expect them to do.
I left corporate accounting and formed Kickstart Accounting, Inc; an accounting firm designed to help female entrepreneurs understand their financials in order to grow their businesses and become more profitable.
Since then I realized entrepreneurs need more than just a bookkeeper; they need real financial analysis and education in order to get the confidence required to create the sustainable wealth they deserve.
The Profit Planner was developed to help you as a business owner know how to analyze your business correctly, generate more profits easily, and gain greater confidence in your business, by getting really intimate with your financials and really specific on what needs to change to create the business that supports your dreams.
Hundreds of my clients, plus myself, have used the Profit Planner to transform our businesses, and I'm excited about how it's going to transform yours!
– Danielle Hayden
Creator of the Profit Planner
"This planner is more than a planner. It helps you create your vision, goals, and belief in yourself in order to succeed. I have always struggled to understand my finances and how to improve them, this step by step process has given me the confidence and education I needed to scale my business."

English Language and Literature
Why did you choose to major in English?
I initially chose it because I love to write; however, my passion shifted to studying the actual process of writing and how it differs for individuals. Now I'm working toward my doctorate. I've also signed up for the Peace Corps and hope to go to Africa to teach French or English.
How have your professors helped you?
My professors have provided information on internships, job openings, extracurricular activities and advice on life in general. They are equally encouraging and helpful. Their blunt honesty has kept me humble, but they never cease to give me a high-five when needed.
What do you write about?
One of my favorite hobbies is writing for my blog [how early 2000s of me, I know]. My first year in college I was really sad and I missed my three sisters. I realized I needed to be less focused on being happy and more focused on being full of joy, so I started writing about how not to be affected by the sad things in life. A lot of freshmen have identified with my story and started reading my blog. It's great to know other people are getting something out of it

Photos you've probably seen before. This is my WH M1 TSMG, after its trip to PK. I bought the gun NIB, but it experienced a failure of some kind about every three rounds. PK completely sorted the gun out, and completed the original milling operations originally omitted.
PK also refinished the receiver and frame, and added a milled grip mount and rear sight rivets of his own manufacture. The other parts are from an original USGI M1 parts kit in unissued condition. Most small parts are still in their original Dulite (blued) finish. The gun has the "bright" bolt, milled swivels, and plain, paddle style pivot and safety of the original M1s.
I took the photos using my old Sony Mavica digital still camera, an MVC-FD 85.

Directed by The Last American B-Boy, This Pete Rock produced record combines the best of East & West Coast vibes, with each counterpart switching dynamics; Ras with the witty lyricism and Pete Rock supplying the cool laid back vibes. A record to enjoy during any (weed) smoke session, or driving down Pacific Coast Highway
"Can U Feel It" has an atmospheric beat similar to "Street Superstar". Honestly, this is the only track in which the beat was the superstar as the Chocolate Boy Wonder's musical contribution overshadowed the lyrics – RapReviews.com

Introduction: Cool Balloon Lamp From Cheap Lampshade - Great for Kids
Ballon as a lamp ? Yes, it's really cool thing. Especially for kidsroom. I'ts not hard to do it.
You need:
- lampshade/lantern
- wire with lightbulb
- rope (not very thick)
- old basket
- some small bags (or You can make them from small material pieces)
Step 1: Making the Balloon
Take the rope and cut 8 same size pieces. Every piece should be 1/3 longer than the lampshade.
Tight the ropes toghether and attach to the top of the lampshade. Then add the horizontal ropes on the lampshade by making the knots with every vertical piece of rope.
Step 2: Preparing and Attaching the Basket
Remove the holder from the basket. Use the very sharp knife or good scissorrs for that. Then take all the 8 ropes and tight them to the basket. Be carefull and check the leveling of the basket. It should be horizontal.
You can attach the small bags to the basket. It all will look more natural with such 'sand' bags. In my case I used small bags filled with the dried grass.
Step 3: Lightbulb and the Little Fellows
Attach the lightbulbholder to an electric wire. Then tight the knot between wire and the top of the lampshade (You can use the 8 ropes endings and tight them to the wire as well).
That's all. Now hang the ballon lamp in Your kids room and watch how cool it looks :)

This is really cute, and I like how you have used the lampshade for the balloon! I have recently made a similar project (that I did not published though) of hot-air balloon lamp fully 3D printed, but on a much smaller scale.
Fully printed. Hm.. it must be also cool project.
Awesome project!
Nice to hear that You like it
That's an adorable idea :)
Thanks :)

Raspberry PiAnswered
Planning to load Nx on pi connected to Hik cameras ( DS-2CD2142FWD and DS-2CD2335FWD.) with edge recording. Will the Nx be able to playback the cameras edge recording?

Hi Chetan,
Thanks for your questions.
For edging recording, Nx now does not support the HIK to do edge recording.
However - if you're recording to the PI you can use the local SD card for recording.Comment actions

Actor John Cygan died Saturday in his home in California after a long battle with cancer. He was 63.
The New York City native played Paulie Pentangeli on the ABC cop show "The Commish," which ran from 1991 to 1996. The series also starred Michael Chiklis, one of Cygan's closest friends.
"John Cygan, one of my closest friends in this world has passed away," Chiklis wrote on Twitter. "Impossible to adequately describe the magnitude of his loss to my family and I."
RELATED: Actress Rosario Dawson reportedly came upon an unthinkable tragedy in her California home.
The younger generation likely knows Cygan's voice even if they couldn't recognize him. He also had a stellar career as a voice actor, including playing additional roles in wildly popular movies such as "Cars," "WALL-E" and "Inside Out."
His voice is also featured in video games such as "Halo" and "Grand Theft Auto V."
His earlier acting days also included a brief time on Bob Newhart's "Bob," the CBS sitcom in which Cygan played the head of Ace Comics.
RELATED: Hollywood is in mourning following the news of the sudden passing of former Paramount CEO Brad Grey.
Cygan is survived by his wife, Cathy, and children, Jack and Annie.

Proper Life Planning with Indiana Attorney RG Skadberg takes the pain out of the planning conversation. There is no better time than now to put your Life Plan in place.
During the last few months, I have been saying
"If you're 18, 108, or any age in between, there are some life planning needs for you to consider." Many people don't believe there are legal planning needs for an 18-year-old, but there are.

About Us
Sean Mulrooney the company owner, developed the concept of an instore bakery and deli in his existing shop and forecourt in response to what he saw as a lack of places available to provide homestyle baking in an instore setting.
One of the key factors of the success has been the ethos that the cakes, buns, breads and scones all taste best when they have been freshly baked using the same ingredients and methods as home baking.
Mulrooneys have their own instore bakery enabling all products to be made and baked to order, providing their customers with products that have been baked fresh the very same day.
Today Mulrooneys Shop Bakery and Deli has become and iconic and highly celebrated brand associated with high quality and freshness.
Our Shop
Our Shop which incorporates our Bakery and Deli is opened 7 days a week from 7am to 11pm

Look, if you are the type of boss who waits until the end of the year to give out gifts to your employees, then you have a lot to improve on. Corporate gifts are extensive and not necessarily tangible products. For example, a 'thank you' message either through a phone call or text can be a gift.
The good news is that continually giving gifts, whether tangible or not is the best reminder that you actually care about your staff as human beings. That is the best way to forge lasting relationships, especially if you have many employees in your company. In fact, corporate gifting could be your most important networking hack.
This article highlights a number of gifts that are fitting for your employees', season in season out. Read on for more insight.
Recognise Good Job Performance
This is somewhat straightforward. Human beings always desire praise and positive reception. The more you recognise the excellent performance of your staff, the more content and motivated they will be. For example, you can choose to recognise and personally congratulate the best performing sales representatives of that week. When doing this with your staff, always try to be more specific. While general compliments like 'well done' or 'excellent job' are nice, they are not as effective as 'I admire how you went against all odds to find a great deal for our company.' Identify the specific details of what your employees do and this will go a long way in improving the productivity levels of your employees in return.
Spare some of your valuable time
Do not be so busy that you cannot create time for your staff. Always spare some time to talk with your workers, even if it's just a few minutes. This is the perfect way to establish and encourage a personal touch with your staff. For instance, you can adopt the practice of personally calling up all those workers who have closed their first major sale as a way to encourage them. In fact, this will pump them up to even achieve more.
Of course, the more your company expands, the more difficult it will be for you to spend time with all your employees on personal level. Therefore, ensure you inculcate the same idea in your managers and directors, so that they also spare time for interacting with their respective teams.
Personalize corporate gifts
Identify the needs and wants of your employees and then award them with personalised gifts, such as a personalised leather wallet. It shows that you care about them. Of course, this will require some time and effort. But it will considerably strengthen your relationship with your staff.
For example, if the chair and desk used by your employee are exhibiting signs of wear and tear, replace them with new ones. Also, consider giving out posters, mugs, pens, or other stuff that are branded with your employees' preferred names, quotes or mantras.
Also, consider the option of learning gifts. Ask your member of staff what skill they wish to learn or gain further knowledge on. Then, enroll them in a short course, like a language class or workshop or buy them a book that improves that exact skill.
Unexpected Surprise
Through unexpected surprise gifts, you can keep up with gifting your staff on a regular basis. Every employee would like being surprised with a gift. The unexpected nature of the gift will certainly bring happiness to your employee. Just stick to cheap corporate gifts in Singapore and avoid getting overly fancy. For example, identify where your employees prefer to shop or eat out and give them a voucher.
Celebrate Professional Milestones
While you can gift your employees year-round, do not forget gifts to commemorate festive seasons and professional milestones. It is an easy and simple way to deepen a relationship. During the Christmas period, you can organise a party for all your employees to celebrate the festivities. At the same time, when any new employee reaches their first year job anniversary, you can choose to gift them.
Remember, gifting your employees doesn't necessarily have to include tangible items. This way, you can reward them every so often without breaking the bank.

Be taking the time to understand your specific situation and needs, we develop a clear idea of what you hope to achieve and create a plan best suited to reaching these goals.

Our Approach to Fees
Our services are rendered through a transparent fee structure. There are no lock-in periods or hidden fees. Wilon offers hourly, monthly and flat fee financial planning services in addition to traditional asset based management fees. As fiduciaries of your money, we view our relationship with you as a partnership and want you to understand how we work with you and for you.
The Wilon Difference
Fee-based and independent
Wilon is an independent financial services firm that was founded as an alternative to Wall Street brokerage houses, large banks and proprietary product firms. We believe our independent fee structure provides our clients with key benefits. Since we're not part of a large brokerage firm with in-house products and services to sell, we are able to provide our clients with objective guidance on which investments make the most sense for them. In addition, our fee-based structure was adopted to give our clients confidence in knowing their wealth advisor is compensated for being their advocate, not just executing transactions.
Midwestern values
Our firm's founders were born and raised in Iowa and they're committed to the strong Midwestern values they learned from their families: honesty, hard work and trust. We adhere to those straightforward principles in all of our work. Our goal is to offer objective, goal-based financial advice to clients who share these values and work on your behalf to provide solutions for the financial well-being of you and your family.
Technology emphasis
At Wilon, we believe that knowledge is one of the keys to financial success. With that in mind, we offer a variety of resources to our clients to help them become better informed about important financial issues, such as estate planning and current market trends. We believe that in order to offer the highest level of financial advice and education, we must embrace the best-available tools. Our team is committed to staying up-to-date on the latest developments in technology so that we can continue to provide the highest level of service, and we're always looking for new, innovative ways to help our clients.
Strategic partnerships
Your finances are complicated. We strive to bring together your different goals at the various stages of your life and if we don't have the resources to address one of your needs ourselves, we have a network of other professionals who we can rely on for assistance. When appropriate, we collaborate with other advisors, such as attorneys and accountants, resulting in a coordinated approach to wealth management that helps ensure you have a complete team working together for your benefit. Wilon is dedicated to providing strategic resources designed to add value beyond your investment portfolio alone.

Belated congratulations to the University of Tennessee's own James K. Polk Project for completing its mission after more than six decades of scholarly effort, The project's staff have sent the fourteenth and final volume of annotated Polk papers off for publication.
UT has also been home base for two other presidential documentary editing projects: the papers of Andrew Jackson and Andrew Johnson. Only one other university has hosted multiple presidential papers endeavors.
You could make a good case that documentary editors make a bigger and more lasting contribution to the historical profession than any other group of people, except maybe the archivists who preserve and provide access to the originals. Books and articles will go out of date, but researchers will keep turning to the primary sources again and again, long after the folks who collate and shepherd them through publication have passed on. Heck, this afternoon I was poring over material from a couple of documentary editing projects that ended more than a century ago.

POTRAZ Rescues Mzarabani CIC
THE Postal Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ) has moved in to rescue the Mzarabani Community Information Centre (CIC), amidst indications that the facility had closed its doors to the public.
Briefing Journalists during a familiarisation visit of the CIC, POTRAZ Director Postal Services Kenneth Dewera said they had to respond swiftly following reports of the facility's closure to avoid inconveniencing the Mzarabani community.
By Michael Gwarisa
"After hearing that the CIC had opened and worked briefly before closing, we had to act fast. The complaint of the centre's closure was brought before us about two weeks ago.
"By last week Friday, we had already put together all the necessary equipment necessary for a fully functional CIC. As we speak, people around here are already busy doing various researches on the internet and they are actually up to date with developments elsewhere," said Dewera.
POTRAZ commenced the CIC rollout in 2016 in conjunction with the ministry of ICT and Cyber Security
Mzarabani Councillor Norman Chizeya commended the move saying it would connect his community to the rest of the world.
"This program was brought to us in 2016, we thank POTRAZ for bringing ICT close to us. People were happy briefly before network to the centre was cut. We sent our plea on February, 26, but to my surprise, you have already resolved the crisis.
"This shows you are moving in line with the new dispensation where action is the order of the day," said Chizeya.
Meanwhile, farmers and students in Mzarabani also appreciated the move to restore operations at the CIC saying the centre has become useful in many ways.
Sekuru Stansilus Mugadza a maize and groundnuts farmer said he comes to the centre to research on tips to grow and maintain his crops regularly.

Not a word was spoken on the bus ride back from today's trip. Our poverty seminar (where we talked about the causes of poverty, and how to help alleviate it), and Dreaming Nicaragua (the documentary we watched yesterday) did not prepare any of us enough for the images that we have now seen firsthand. Today was Poverty Day, when we visited The Dump, a heartbreaking scene that will be emblazoned in our minds forever. The Dump is just a dump. However, unlike most landfills, there are people, young and old, rummaging through each pile of trash, hoping and praying they will come along something of value. After breakfast, and our academic seminar, we journeyed only twenty minutes away (it's amazing how our world can completely transform itself when we travel just a few miles) to visit Dona Franziska, an old lady who is in her late 70's, although she claims that she feels only 15. Although we imagine a person in poverty to be someone to pity, Dona Franziska was kind and so content with her life. She has faced many hardships throughout her life, for example, facing the death of many of her children to preventable sicknesses. Even through so much struggle of death and poverty, she loves life to the fullest. She finds that every second of her time on earth has been a treasure, and that she is so thankful that she has a family that loves and supports her. Dona Franziska's words made us all appreciate what we have at home so much more. Even though she lives in a one room house without any running water or electricity, and rummages through trash for a small income, she has so much love to share, and so much appreciation for her life.
After talking with the inspirational, kindhearted woman, we took our bus to The Dump. Children as young as 4 were taking care of their baby siblings, while their parents were scavenging through mountains of usually unsafe rubbish, trying to find a matching pair of shoes, or maybe some clothes or blankets for their families. The smell of burning plastic filled the air, and we all struggled not to swat at the dozens of flies swarming around us (lest the families at the dump get offended at our behavior). A woman at The Dump asked Humberto, one of our program coordinators, what we were doing, watching them at their workplace. He replied that we were learning awareness, and developing a larger sense of conscience. And it was very true. Emotions were running high all day, and every single Glimpser who viewed the life of those impoverished families felt guilty and ambitious. Each one of us wanted to alter the unfortunate lives of these people, or at least the lives of someone in poverty. All of us easily could put ourselves into the shoes of these people, and were so thankful that we live such privileged lives. We had the ability to leave The Dump after thirty quick minutes, and not ever be forced to return, but those who live or work at The Dump are there for ten or more hours each day for their whole lives. Everybody was so much more grateful for their lives. While us in first world countries gripe about our phones dying, or having to wake up to go to school every day, the impoverished people in Nicaragua never get close to a chance to complain about these things. They are stuck in a cycle of poverty, where children are forced to stay home from school, or are not given access to a school, which in turn leads them to work at The Dump with their families, and never be able to get a proper job, or a way out of their lifestyle.
When we arrived back at the hostel, we all took time to reflect together about our experience at The Dump. Many used words such as helpless and guilty, but those in turn transformed into words such as ambition, and power. We all were given a lot to think about, and all of us hope to make a difference by spreading awareness to people who may not know the dire circumstances in Nicaragua.
Then, we talked about our Community Action Project, in which we will actually be given the chance to support the people of Esteli by helping to redesign the courtyard of Fundacion Cristal (a school which has just been given a new campus, and needs help to fix it up before they open their doors in September). We started planning on a tree to plant, the design of our mural, and how to bring more of an upbeat vibe to the currently depressing grey walls. Once we had finished planning for our meeting with Fundacion Cristal (which will take place tomorrow), we headed off to our tutoring classes to make a difference in some more lives. Everyone learned a lot during our classes, student and tutor alike.
In all, today was a physically and emotionally draining day. We were shown how privileged our lives are, and we all took something out of our experience at The Dump. We are also very humbled and glad to be given the chance to help people, such as the children at Fundacion Cristal, and our students who are so eager to learn English.
P.S. We love and miss our families dearly, and love hearing your comments! Keep posting them, and thanks for reading!

Did we say ZERO to 1/2″ in the lowest elevations? Well it ended up as ZERO to 3″ in the lowest elevations of the metro area and Willamette Valley. Quite a wide variety of snow totals…here's the final snow map, I'll add in a few numbers tomorrow.
That disturbance really dumped the heavier stuff on the eastside and then up into Clark County. West and south metro were left out again. Salem had nothing, except in the hills. So in reality most of the western valleys of Oregon had very little.
So officially at the NWS office we now have two measurable snowfalls this season (Christmas Eve and Presidents Day "Eve"), plus one Trace (Valentine's Day). Nice holiday lineup. What's coming on St. Patrick's Day?
Enjoy the bright sunshine tomorrow and drive carefully the next 10 hours as roads freeze up.

The chilling picture appears to show a 'ghost child' stood behind Byrin Watson, aged nine
A mum-of-two claims she has been left unable to sleep after capturing a terrifying apparition of a ghostly child standing behind her son in the woods – with a hand on his shoulder.
Laura captured the chilling image when visiting Plessey Woods Country Park in Northumberland with her family during the sunny bank holiday Monday.
When Laura's daughter Charlotte Hill, 15, and Byrin Watson, nine, wanted to climb a large tree with their cousin Jack, 16, Laura decided to take some photos of the fun.
However the medical receptionist was left 'terrified' when she examined the photo ans saw the face of another child had appeared behind Byrin – despite no one else being in the area.
While originally sceptical of the paranormal, Laura says the picture has convinced her otherwise as it is so clear.
She's planning a return to the wood as the figure has now sparked her interest in ghosts – although admits she hopes the apparition doesn't 'follow them home'.
Laura, from Newcastle, Tyne and Wear, said: 'It's very unusual and everyone is really freaked out. Me and my daughter couldn't even go to sleep last night because we were so scared.
'My husband is on night shifts and I was alone and I was like 'oh God'. I was terrified in case anything had followed us back.
'I've had people on our Facebook saying they are going to send me prayers.
'I didn't believe in anything like that until I saw this for myself.'
Laura had been enjoying the sun with her mum, dad and sister, along with her two children and her niece and nephew when they decided to walk the dogs after finishing their picnic.
It was on the way back that the youngsters came across the large tree and began to climb it – prompting Laura to get out her camera.
When she zoomed in on the picture on her computer Laura Watson noticed the ghostly figure
Laura said: 'There was no one behind the tree, my daughter or my nephew would have seen them. There was nobody there.
'There was only us there. It's very, very bizarre.
'When I got home I put the picture on the computer and when it zoomed in and I was able to see it closer, I thought what is that thing behind Byrin?
'When I zoomed in further I could see a face. But I was like 'but there was nobody there!'
'It looks like a child to me, I don't know if it's a girl or a boy. But I can see this face and it looks like the hand is on my son's shoulder, which is very bizarre.
'Some people have said I must have Photoshopped it as they can't believe it.. But I've explained that I wouldn't even have a clue how to do anything like that.
'It was literally taken on phone. I'm rubbish with technology and I'm just not the kind of person to do that.
'There's no way that is anything but what it is – you can basically see a face.
'For someone to be that close to my son, if it was another child, he would have noticed them.
'I would have seen them and I wouldn't have taken a picture with another kid behind him.'
Many have speculated on what the figure could be – with some suggesting it could be the spirit of a boy who drowned in the woods years ago.
It has been speculated that the ghost could be the figure of a child who drowned in the woods
Laura said: 'I don't know much about the history of the woods but some people are saying that many moons ago a young boy drowned in the river. You don't know if it's just hearsay.
'People are asking if Byrin had a twin and if he died but he had nothing like that. I've not had any kids die in my family so it couldn't be anyone that I know.
'It certainly isn't something that I'm familiar with. I've never, ever experienced anything like it in my life.
'It was just a normal day. It was lovely hot day and we were just having fun.
'We had the dogs with us and they were not acting strange or anything like that, because I know dogs can have a sixth sense. But they were normal.
'No one was any the wiser that anything was actually there until I saw the picture.
'I sent it to my husband as he was at work and he said it was very freaky.
'My sister said 'oh my god, Laura, what on earth is that?' She agreed there was nobody else around us so it literally couldn't have been anything else.
'A lot of people say it looks like a girl with pigtails but it doesn't to me, it looks like a boy. That's what it looks like to me.
'I would love to go back to the woods, it's not put me off at all. I think it's dead fascinating now.
'Obviously I just hoped it's not hanging around us as I don't want that feeling that something's with us.'

Researchers and clinicians rely on their cold-storage equipment to maintain the integrity and quality of precious patient samples and other biological products. The failure of a cold-storage unit can compromise samples, which disrupts critical research and has a significant impact on these institutions and individuals. The failure of a storage unit such as an ultra-low temperature freezer can result not only in a substantial financial loss, but can also mean losing years of researchers' time and effort. This means that clinicians and investigators need to take great care in selecting brands and equipment critical to protecting research or enabling the delivery of patient care.
An event that illustrates the importance of cold-storage occurred at the Harvard Brain Tissue Resource Center (HBTRC) at McLean Hospital in Belmont, MA. A freezer containing brain samples that had been collected for autism research failed there in June 2012. Unfortunately, the failure was discovered too late to prevent the brains from thawing. The Boston Globe reported that, "Among those samples were the brains of 54 people who had autism – nearly a quarter of the autism brain samples available for research into a condition that now affects 1 in 88 American children. At the time researchers said the collection, which took 14 years to amass, could set autism research back perhaps as long as a decade."
It's clear that reliable cold-storage equipment plays a vital role in safeguarding precious (and in some cases irreplaceable) samples so that important research can continue without delay or disruption. To help meet the challenge of providing equipment that researchers and clinicians can depend on, Helmer Scientific designed the i.Series® line of Ultra-Low Freezers. Helmer Scientific Medical-Grade Ultra-Low Freezers are designed with the reliability and quality that is demanded for sensitive and precious samples across clinical and research applications. In order to see how these Ultra-Low Freezers are made to meet these demanding requirements, click here for an interactive demonstration.

Blogger has gotten me so far in life these days... I know I've said some of this before, but I'll say it again. I have met some wonderful people and have found a place within a beautiful Blogger family. There have been times where all I had was you all, and it has meant so much to know that I could always depend on you if I needed anything. Anyways, it is by one of those dear people that I am writing this. Greg, from Simple, Life, has nominated me for the Liebster Blog Award. It works a little something like this:
1) Each person must post 11 things about themselves.
2) Answer the questions that the tagger set for you, plus create 11 questions for the people you've tagged to answer.
3) Choose up to 11 people with blogs who have less than 200 followers, and link them in your post.
4) Go to their page and tell them.
So let's get this shin-dig started with 11 things about myself:
1) I am, by definition, an alien.
2) When I have the house to myself, I face inner turmoil when it comes down to the options of blasting music or taking in the beautiful silence.
3) I drink my apple sauce. There's no point in dirtying a spoon and bowl when all you need is a cup.
4) To dance in the rain is something that has always been an enchanting idea, but I have yet to do so.
5) Sometimes I find sitting on the floor is better than a couch or bed.
6) I am an e-bookaphobe, I'd rather read and own a real book than have the nook or kindle.
7) My thoughts seem deeper and more meaningful when they're contemplated upon a beach in solitude.
8) I don't care how hot it is, I have to sleep with some kind of blanket covering my legs.
9) There is a part of me that enjoys doing research and going on a wild goose chase for information, because there is nothing better than finding what I was looking for and feeling like I'm rather clever.
10) I would trade in heels for hiking boots, a dress for sweats, and a manicure for dirt under my nails any day of the week.
11) I have had the song "Suitcase" by Circa Survive on repeat via YouTube the whole time I've been working on this... I think I've played it at least 15 times....
Now the questions posed to me by Greg:
1) What's the best book you've ever read?
Tuesdays with Morrie... I will forever be quoting it and my kids will grow up learning life lessons from it.
2) What's the best piece words of wisdom you've ever received?
See above book, but besides that I'd say the advice to "kill them with kindness". If anyone's giving you a hard time, and you don't know if you should live by the golden rule or sass them right back, take the higher road and they'll wonder what the hell you're up to.
3) Is there anything you ever regret, and if so what is it?
Never taking chances on relationships that could have worked out so well. But when I think about it, everything has happened for a reason... and to be totally honet, I'm loving where I'm at in life right now.
4) If you could live anywhere regardless of expense... where would it be?
I would live in England, anywhere would be good enough for me, but personally I'd love a castle^.^ (Small, I don't want to clean rooms that I barely live in).
5) What is your dream job?
Own a small bed and breakfast, a cottage if you will, out in the woods near some quaint little town.
6) What's the most touching thing someone has ever done for you?
After hearing my life story, called me "strong" when that was the last word I would ever use to describe myself.
7) New York or California?
New York.
8) What do you think life after death will be like?
I think life after death will be an experience. Not quite sure if it'll be rainbows and butterflies all the time, but I'm sure it'll be good.
9) Have you ever had any pets, and what is/was it like?
I have 3 dogs currently, I had 1 when I was little but she passed away a while ago, but I've also had fish and birds. What is it like to have 3 dogs? Well... It is a zoo but it's nice to have them to cuddle up with. It can be tiring, taking care of them and cleaning up their mess when they get sick... But it's like a marriage, I love them in sickness and in health, 'til death do us part.
10) If you just got in your car and started driving.. where would you end up?
Somewhere that's not here...
11) What is your favourite thing to eat?
My Aunt's Pasta Salad, paired with Wheat Thins.
So who do I pass this award on to? I look up and follow a lot of you, but there are a few that have always stood out to me. Of course, I would pass it back to Greg, but the others that are to get this are:
Anne Louise, from Anne Louise
Brian, from Brians Ramblings from the Edge
Jack, from Type of Jack
Keith, from Musings of an Unapologetic Dreamer
Laura, from Grammatically Incorrect English Major
Race Davis, from The Brigham Yog
Sanny, from Unravelling the Mysteries of Life
And now my dear friends, the questions I ask of you:
1) Skittles or Starbursts?
2) If you could go anywhere in the world and take one person, where would you go and who would you take?
3) More so than just morning or night, it is at what time that you look at the clock and see your favourite time of day?
4) If you could be a bird or a fish, which would you choose? Why?
5) How do you eat your Oreos?
6) Why did you start a Blog?
7) How do you want to be remembered after you die?
8) Favourite Disney movie?
9) What is that one song you could listen to over and over again?
10) When have you been at your happiest?
11) Are you going to pass on this award, or have you given up with all the work it entails?
If you want to find out more about this award, I found this blog post: Liebster Blog Award Origins. I hope to read all of your answers, and that you will continue the sense of tradition that has been started. Cheers!

|Van Dyke Motorsports Gearing Up for Sprint Car Challenge Tour Opener This Saturday in Placerville
By Gary Thomas
Placerville, CA – March 28, 2017…With the weather in Northern California finally working in everyone's favor Van Dyke Motorsports and Michael "Buddy" Kofoid are looking forward to a double-header of competition, highlighted by Saturday's Sprint Car Challenge Tour opener in Placerville.
This past weekend the team raced close to home at the Marysville Raceway during the Civil War Sprint Car Series presented by Flowmaster season-opener. After qualifying fifth and running third in his heat, Kofoid lined-up on the inside of row four in the feature, but it was cut short by a steering issue on lap-11.
This Friday the Van Dyke Motorsports/ Gary Silva Ranches No. 5H plans to head for the Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico for the opening Winged 360 Sprint Car point race. Then on Saturday it's off to the Placerville Speedway for the Sprint Car Challenge Tour presented by Elk Grove Ford and Abreu Vineyards opener.
"We're excited to get back in the groove this weekend at a couple of my favorite tracks," Kofoid said. "We had a lot of speed a few weeks ago in Chico and almost picked up a win. Hopefully we can improve one spot on Friday.
I'm also really looking forward to Placerville on Saturday with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour. There should be a lot of great competition there, which makes it a lot fun. We've had some tough luck here and there so far this season, but I definitely have confidence going into this weekend. I want to thank Harley Van Dyke, Gary Silva Ranches and everyone that supports us."
Last season Kofoid finished fifth in the standings with the Sprint Car Challenge Tour and tallied four top-five efforts. He also picked up a weekly point race victory at the Placerville Speedway in September of last year and became the youngest winner in track history during the 2016 campaign.
The Silver Dollar Speedway is located on the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds, a half-mile west of SR 99 on Park Ave in Chico, California. For more information visit http://www.silverdollarspeedway.com
The Placerville Speedway is located on the El Dorado County Fairgrounds in Placerville, California. Take Hwy US-50 to Forni Road/Placerville Drive exit. Then go north on Placerville Drive to the Fairgrounds. For more information visit http://www.placervillespeedway.com
Van Dyke Motorsports and Michael Kofoid would like to thank Gary Silva Ranches, Lucas Oil Products, NAAKE Suspension and JRI West, T&T Trucking, Rafter V Farms, Hansen Machine Works, Sonoma Paint Center, North County Plastering and Kevin Sharrah Designs for their support this season.

CITY OF NEWBURGH – Newburgh Councilwoman Cindy Holmes is asking her colleagues to consider a charter change under which an elected mayor would again be the city's chief administrator.
In arguing for a so-called "strong mayor" form of government that would eliminate the city manager position, Holmes cited Newburgh's turbulent history with city managers, who have been appointed by the Council to lead the administration since voters approved the position in 1915 as an antidote to corrupt mayors.
She also argues that an administrator elected by residents would be more responsive to their concerns than a city manager appointed by the Council.
"As I look at Beacon, they are thriving, they're doing so well with a strong mayor," Holmes said during the City Council's work session on Thursday. "As I look at Middletown, they are also."
A city government plagued by partisan politics and the awarding of jobs and contracts to political supporters drove the charter change in 1915. Beyond membership on the City Council, the mayor's defined duties in Newburgh are now largely ceremonial.
But Newburgh's first-ever appointed city manager, Fred Alber, was fired after six months in 1916, establishing a pattern of in which change has been the one constant for the position. In some cases it was corruption and ineptitude. In others it was retribution from a partisan Council.
Councilwoman Torrance Harvey teaches history at Newburgh Free Academy. The Progressive Era, and the replacement of corrupt strong-mayor systems with ones reliant on professional city managers, is one of the topics he teaches, Harvey said.
"I'm aware of that history," said Harvey, who called for the Council to spend more time studying a change to a strong-mayor system. "I'm also aware of the pros and cons of having a city manager."
Under state law, charter revisions can be initiated by the Council, a charter commission or a voter-driven ballot initiative.
Corporation Counsel Michelle Kelson said Newburgh has had only one successful charter revision in the last 20 years – the one voters approved in 2011 to create a ward system for Council elections and to require a supermajority to hire or fire a city manager.
Councilwoman Genie Abrams defended the current system.
"I have never been for blowing up the entire city form of government that we've had for 100 years and moving it to a system where politicians would rule our staff, and direct our staff, rather than a professional public administrator," she said.

Spiced Applesauce Bread
Posted on
A Sweet Treat You Won't Feel Guilty About! For the final recipe this week, we chose a recipe that has been made healthier by slightly altering the original ingredients rather than swapping them out altogether. This delicious Spiced Applesauce treats you to the nostalgic holiday tastes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. By taking out half a stick of butter, substituting 2 egg whites for each of the whole eggs, and using sugar substitute instead of sugar, this iteration of the bread has all the flavor with less calories and cholesterol. Ingredients: 1 ¼ cups applesauce 1 cup Stevia baking...

Wednesday is Rednesday and a new background, oh Joy!
Do you see this wonderful background? Isn't it amazing? I just love the colors. Yesterday, I posted about my sterile and sad looking blog. There was a glitch in code for my background design. I had spent weeks trying to address the matter, all to no avail. So I asked for your help and did you deliver. Thank you all, especially my friends Linda @ A la Carte and Carol @ Old Glory Cottage for their kind thoughts and suggestions. It helped. But a big thank you goes to April @ Abramyan Avenue for telling me all about Brooke @ Babbling Brooke Blog Custom Designs. Brooke is a genius. To make it simple, she found a leftover background widget on top of another widget. I was never going to have a background in place until that got deleted. You had to be able to read code to have found it. Now I can cut and paste code, but reading code is like reading a foreign language.... I am clueless.
This nice lady, that I just met, took the time to solve my background mystery. I know it may seem silly to you that a missing background was causing me so much stress, but honestly, it would be like coming to my house and not having a single curtain in the window. I want my blog to be inviting. So thank you Brooke for helping me put my "curtains" up. By the way, they are a Brooke custom design. Perfect timing, Brooke is having a giveaway over at her Custom Designs Blog. I am entering for a chance for background and banner make-over. After all the effort she put in yesterday on my behalf, as a blogging friend, helping another, you better believe that win or not, a new look will be coming to my blog. Thank you Brooke.
I thought it would be fitting today to show some red and turquoise (from my kitchen) that match my new background. Since there is a little red and I haven't been over in a while to her party, I am joining Sue @ Its a Very Cherry World for Wednesday is Rednesday. The cherry red posts always bring a smile and with my new background in place, I have all the more reason to smile. Thank you.
Got it at Goodwill

Love, Love those kitchen chairs. I've always thought a red and chrome kitchen would be such a bright cheery design.
- February 16, 2011 at 11:35 AM
Glad you resolved your blog design blues. Looks great.
I love those chairs but most of all, you have my favorite color combination, red and aqua. It all started with blogging and now I'm hooked.
Happy REDnesday!

Hi Sherrie,
First, I'd gladly sit at your kitchen table...love it and am very envious of it!!
Your background is just great.:o) I know the woes of backgrounds, hubby and I recently spent a good 48 hours trying to figure it all out. He's much better than me though and it bugged him more than me so he didn't let it defeat him!!Thank goodness.
Happy Rednesday!

Postcards from the edge is over, now we get to walk from chelsea down to around 9th street for a birthday party.
As I was taking photos on my phone in the gallery, I cought my own reflection on the screen.The messy hair, the loose skin under my chin, the tired eyes, and scars.
I know the insecurity is mostly about being in a room with a lot of people, and art. But still, all I could think of was how fat, old and ugly I look.

Collecting evidence and turning it into accountability
With the industrial scale of wildlife crime affecting communities and ecosystems all over the world, we share information to ensure wildlife criminals are brought to justice.
The Wildlife Justice Commission works in collaboration with partners in key fields across the globe and continually share information with national and international law enforcement agencies, intergovernmental organisations and NGOs – whether this be intelligence for immediate action, information on new trafficking trends and methodologies, confidential briefings and reports or covert film and images.
If, after providing the national authorities our evidence and attempting to engage and influence them through the national dialogue process, there is still insufficient action taken to disrupt the criminal networks identified, we can then convene a Public Hearing, always as a last resort.
The purpose of a Public Hearing is twofold: to persuade the relevant government to act upon the evidence provided; and to have the Case File validated by an independent, impartial panel of experts, which will submit recommendations for how best to ensure justice for wildlife.
In November 2016, we convened the only Public Hearing we have hold to date, concerning an 18-month investigation in Vietnam, where the Panel confirmed the Case File and offered recommendations to the Vietnamese authorities and other stakeholders.
Watch the summary video of the Public Hearing held in the Peace Palace in The Hague in November 2016:

In thinking about Valentine's this year, I mused about how much this year's Valentine's is different from last year's and for that matter how different it was 10 years ago. Yes, 10 years ago . . .
It was 2003, the year after I graduated from college and I was living in Denver's Capitol Hill with my good friend Aron. I am pretty sure that we also had Valentine's Day parties in college at the Hootie House (<- long story), but this year we decided to have an official Lonely Heart's Club party at our house for single's only. From what I remember it was a relatively classy affair on a beer budget. Our friend Pete made a big spaghetti dinner with a large cake with the word LOVE crossed out. We ate, we drank, and we lamented our loneliness as only young, fresh out of undergrad 20-something-year-olds can.
We continued this tradition for three years, which was about the length of time Aron was still in Colorado during medical school. Our good friend Bif was a fixture at these parties as were the other "meddies" from the med school. Although Aron and I both had numerous relationships during this time, we seemed to magically become unattached around Valentine's Day. Each Lonely Heart's Club Party became bigger and bigger. One year our friend Chad made us an evite with "Filthy/Gorgeous" by Scissor Sisters pounding in the background. It was fantastic. That song still reminds me of Lonely Hearts. I also recall games of spin-the-bottle and designated make-out rooms. Friends that were in relationships begged to be included. I so wanted to say, "Sorry folks, but you have a date and we are lonely and getting drunk without having to see you drool on your significant other", but I am pretty sure we let everyone partake eventually due to Aron's kind heart. I remember one particular Lonely Heart's Club Party (probably the last) when there were multiple kegs and a large number of people whom neither I nor Aron knew. That was around the time that the party lost its magic and we started to pair off.
The best part about the Lonely Heart's Club Party was that it made Valentine's something to look forward to every year, regardless of being single or what-have-you. I look back at those parties with so much fondness for our single times together with friends. These days Aron is a "smug married" now also but unfortunately lives a long ways away from Colorado. We do keep in touch and will be getting together within the next month (yes!). I tried and tried to dig up my old photo albums so I could post some pictures, but I can't find them anywhere. Darn.
On the other hand, Valentine's Day with my husband is pretty great too.
Our first Valentine's Day together was only a few weeks after we first met in 2006. About a week prior to, Kevin asked me to "be his Valentine" which was our way of becoming official boyfriend and girlfriend. For Valentine's Day my mother urged me to "play it cool" so I ended up giving him a bamboo plant in a glass container that cost about $4.00 total (which we still have and refer to as our Love Fern). Kevin gave me an electronic New York Times Crossword game from Brookstone (I was super in to NYT crosswords at the time) and bath set of smelly girl stuff. I even recall that we went downtown to the 9th door for dinner. It was the first of many romantic nights out on the town for V-Day.
This year's Valentine's will involve me making a heart-shaped pizza with chicken sausage and red onion, because nothing says romance like bad breath. I am also going to make a batch of my BBQ sauce for the hubby and I am sure we will exchange cheesy cards like we do every year. The great thing that I came across this morning when I was looking for old photos was all of our old Valentines that we exchanged over the year. I am so happy that we save stuff like this. It is really cool to see the evolution from cards saying "you are special" to "I love you" and then "I am so lucky to be marrying you" to last year's "you will be an amazing father".
If that isn't enough ooey gooey cheesiness for you, then here is little ditty for my husband. One of "our songs" from our early days of dating. Hope you all have a great holiday and celebrate whatever state of romance you are in, be it #foreveralone or #smugmarried.
