4 Simple Social Media Marketing Tips for Dental Clinics
Dentists who track patient value report that the average new patient is worth $1,200. Over a lifetime of 20 years, this can represent $20,000 per active patient. Therefore it's worthwhile for dental clinics to take a proactive approach to finding and keeping new patients. Fortunately, Gen X and Y actively use social media, making social networks powerful, cost-effective platforms to attract and retain clients.
Here's how you can use social media marketing to attract and retain clients (related article: Social Media Marketing 101 for Vancouver Small Businesses):
Become a library of resourcesFacebook has been reducing brands' organic reach. One tactic dental clinics can use to get around this is to leverage their Facebook fans' reach. Get fans to share content on the clinic's Facebook page to gain exposure because Facebook does not restrict the reach of personal pages
Publish informational articles on Facebook's Notes section on topics such as fun dental facts or food that help prevent certain diseases so that patients are inclined to follow your page and gain new information. If you get a lot of questions on a certain topic, such as invisible braces, use Facebook to answer FAQs.
In addition, it can encourage existing fans to share the articles on their Facebook page because people like to share information that's useful to their families and friends. This activity will increase your exposure and make it easy for patients to refer your clinic to others.
Also, remember to talk about your FB page to patients or mention it in newsletters or offline promotional materials.
Encourage Facebook check-ins by offering incentivesEncourage fans to check-in their Facebook pages to increase your social media presence.
Checking in is a user's way of geotagging themselves so that their fellow Facebook friends know where they currently are. So if someone walks into your place of business and your business is listed in Facebook Places, then they could potentially decide to check-in.
To encourage patients to check-in their pages, offer special discounts, complimentary sessions, or other incentives. Getting patients to check-in their Facebook accounts will help clinics gain exposure and social proof as well as new potential clients.
Here's how you can enable Facebook check-in for your fans:
• Click Settings at the top of your Page
• Click Page Info in the left column
• Click Category
• Select Local Businesses from the first dropdown menu, then select a more specific category (ex: Restaurant/Cafe) from the second dropdown menu
• Click Save Changes
To add your business address to your Page:
• Click Settings at the top of your Page
• Click Page Info in the left column
• Click Address and enter your business address
• Click to check the box next to Show map, check-ins and star ratings on the Page
• Click Save Changes
Publish fun photosVisiting a dental clinic can be daunting for many patients. Reduce this fear by publishing fun photos.
Take photos of company or community events, happy patients, or before-and-after shot of smiling patients who just got their braces removed. Once you've taken the photos, post them on social media, with patients' consents of course.
Publishing fun photos will help your clinic seem warm, reduce clients' fears, and increase patients' willingness to visit your dental clinic.
Develop staff videosIn addition to publishing fun photos, post introductory videos of your staff to give potential clients a better understanding of the dentists who work at your clinic. This helps increase your trustworthiness because patients will know they're in good hands.
Posting staff videos also helps your clinic gain exposure in front of potential clients because you make referrals easier. Your current patients can show the videos to their friends who need a dentist.
Social media is an incredibly useful and economical channel for promoting your dental clinic.
By sharing fun photos and videos of your staff and patients, encouraging Facebook check-ins, and becoming a helpful digital resource, you can give your clinic more exposure to potential clients cost-effectively.

A main road of Alivieska, national road 70 :Kantatie 70, is the route which serves as the Alivieska highway. It is approximately 13 kilometers long and has six intersections. The road circles the Peräjärvi lake, and doesn't connect to any other major roads, leaving Peräjärvi completely isolated from the rest of [1] . There is a concrete bridge just northwest of Loppe that crosses over the river which leads to the northern lake.
The quickest way to access the highway from Kesselinperä is to drive south on the dirt road and take the first left after crossing the railroad tracks, then taking a right at the dirt crossroads. The other intersections can be seen on the map that hangs on the wall behind the phone at the player's house. A map showing the highway can also be found here.
The highway has six intersections; four leading towards the lake and connecting with the dirt road, and two that lead to nearby facilities. These intersections (in a clockwise order) are located at:
- Peräjärvi
- The grain processing plant
- Loppe
- Near the dirt crossroads southeast of Kesselinperä
- Rykipohja
- The ski hill
Traffic lawsEditar
Unlike the dirt roads; the highway has a set of traffic laws which must be followed in order to not get fined by the police. These laws include:
- Following the speed limit
- Using a seat belt
- Not driving under the influence (1-2 beers will pass)
- Using inspected vehicles
- Using diesel instead of fuel oil (Doesn't apply to the tractor)
The player is only fined for breaking any of these laws if they are caught by the police at one of their checkpoints. These checkpoints appear at random times and places on the highway, and require the player to stop their vehicle to take a breathalyzer test.
Failing to stop at a checkpoint will result in getting chased by the police until the player stops and receives a fine from the police car, manages to escape, or gets killed. The player will receive a fine regardless of picking it up from the police or not. It will appear on the kitchen counter at home. Not paying the fine in time will result in the police showing up at the house with an arrest warrant.
The traffic on the highway is very light, consisting of at most 13 different vehicles, not counting the police cars at checkpoints:
- Petteri's Svoboda
- Jani's Ricochet
- The Techno Victra
- A red Fittan
- A Gifu beer lorry
- A yellow Hayosiko van
- The bus
- A white Pölsa
- Four different colored regular Victras
- And a regular Svoboda
All vehicles on the highway spawn at random spawn points, and only spawn once the player enters the highway for the first time during a game session, the bus is the only exception to this rule; it spawns immediately once the game is loaded. The slight stutter that occurs when approaching the highway signifies that the vehicles have spawned.
Driving on the highway might seem like a safer option when compared to the winding dirt roads, but in reality it could be much more dangerous. Here are some common dangers of the road, as well as ways to avoid them:
- Moose – they run across the road at random points along the highway, and are life/car-threateningly hazardous. Can be avoided completely by driving during the day.
- Police checkpoints – forces the player to follow traffic laws constantly during the day due to their random nature, safer option when compared to the moose, though potentially wallet-lightening.
- The green techno car – only drives counter-clockwise on the highway, but cruises fast enough to kill the player by rear-ending them. Driving counter-clockwise with the car and stopping on the side of the road when the distinctive thumping becomes audible might be good idea.
- Ricochet & Svoboda – same as the techno car, they only drive counter-clockwise on the highway and blast loud music which is audible from far away.
- Regular traffic – fast cars always overtake slow cars, and they take their time doing it. The bus and beer lorry, which drive clockwise on the highway, are the most notable examples. Be careful when a bigger and slower vehicle can be seen approaching from the opposite direction.
- Pedestrians – some pedestrians in the game have the tendency to wander on the highway. Hitting them might sound like a fun idea, but they might get stuck to the front of the car or break the windshield, obstructing the view and leads to be killed by a stray bumblebee.
- Turns and corners - corners are quite dangerous, especially on cars like the Ferndale or a 200km/h tuned Satsuma. While the turning radius of the Ferndale are very poor, the Satsuma will have a problem where it will oversteer and make it going into the ditch or even hitting a tree (which leads to parts detached and even death.
- Currently there is no road 70 in Finland, but it did exist from 1996 to 2010. The road was located in eastern Finland, going from Tohmajärvi to the Russian border. Earlier, from 1938 to the late 1970s the road number 70 was between Joensuu and Varkaus, also in eastern Finland.
- The developer, ToplessGun, has planned on making a long road that leads off the highway, but has scrapped the idea due to game engine limitations.[1]
- A logging lorry used to be part of the AI traffic on the highway, but it was removed in the 05.02.2017 update because it caused FPS drops for many players.

- The first and most important thing is checking on reliability of the chosen website before you buy clothes for your baby from the store. You can do this check where the URL source and where possible, you can get in touch with their existing clients just to be sure of their products and services.
- Where possible, you can request the store to send you a sample of clothes to have a look and this will help you make a better decision rather than just relying on the pictures. You will thus be able to place an order when you are pretty sure of what you are buying.
- Mode of payments is something that you shouldn't assume and if you have any doubts, you need to have them clarified by the store first. This is considering that you will be giving details of your credit card or bank account details to the store and you will need to be assured that your personal info is sage.
- Let the store also clarify to you if there are any other additional costs incurred especially for the delivery. For competition reasons, most children's boutiques offer free delivery to their customers and you can decide to buy from such stores.
- Most baby online store specify clearly the size of clothing on their website and you need to check if the size is a perfect fit for your baby. This will save you from the troubles of having to return the clothes back to the store for them to be changed.
- Comparable shopping is important and it is one of the ways in which you can make substantial savings on the baby clothes you are buying. Obviously, stores will charge a different price for the clothes and you need to order the clothes from one that offers the best deal.
- You also need to check if the site offers some quality assurance for their embroidery work, color and other specifications of the clothing.
- The store must also clarify the days within which you can return the dress just in case you spot some kind of damage.
- You should also read the store's return policy, especially if you are responsible for the cost of shipping back the cloth when returning.

The Truth behind Water Purification SystemJanuary 6th, 2018
Some centuries back, people were very prone to disease, especially waterborne. Many waterborne diseases took the lives of several people which dragged the attention towards the need of clean water.
In the last century, public drinking water purification system came into being in order to tackle the issue. The system ensured the purity of the public drinking water. It was to make sure that the general population who drinks the water does not fall prey to the fatal waterborne disease.
Many years passed and everything went well, but gradually another issues cropped up. Many places witnessed a change in the water purification systems that were quite uncalled for.
Public utilities did their best to tackle the issue. There were reports that quoted otherwise, but we can name it a human error. It can be said that no person would risk the wellbeing and health of their near and dear ones only get the approval of EPA to continue the drinking water purification systems. Employees who work on a regular basis do not anticipate any issue.
The processes involved in the water purification include flocculation, UV disinfection, carbon filtration, water softening, reverse osmosis, ultra-filtration, deionization and chemical disinfection.
The water sources contain sand, parasites, cryptosporidium, algae, bacteria, fungi, viruses, organic material, metals and minerals. With the help of the water purification systems, these elements are partially removed.
If you still believe in the water purification system of your company and do not trust the test results, you may be right. The tests might be flawed, but the approach and case is a little different.
It came into realization of EPA that the groundwater and the reservoirs are contaminated. A hundred percent removal of contaminants seemed impossible and so, to tackle the matter they incepted the "safer" upper limits for the public drinking water purification systems.
It is impossible for any water purification system to eliminate 100% pollutants as well as industrial contaminations. But, the home filtration devices proved to be amazingly effective by reaching 99.99 percent.
The basis of the safe upper limit for municipal drinking water purification systems was that people in the nation weighs about 175 pounds. The contaminants toxicity has to be parallel with the weight and size of the creature that is subject of testing. The tests were usually performed with laboratory mice. The human toxicity was ruled out with the results based on the study.
Tolerable upper limits were established based on these tests. The child's weight when it is born and the tap-water formula were not taken into consideration, particularly by poor families. The long-term health risks of taking these contaminants were also not considered. Also, the difference in weight of the individuals in the country was also not considered.
Now that you know all the truth associated with the use of water purification systems, you must consider the use of home drinking water purification systems just like the many health conscious family. These systems are certified and remove about 99 percent of the environmental toxins.
Considerations to keep in mind in custom rubber moldingMay 18th, 2017
Recent times have seen rubber in Malaysia being used in everything ranging from isolating vibrations and dampening oscillations among others. However, as you probably know already, there is one size that fits all in these solutions. Processes of custom rubber molding aim at offering performance that is far better, solutions that are long lasting and considerable savings and here is a look at what your expectations should be as you purchase custom molded rubber.

The rubber could be trimmed to ensure it fits your application and this means that it is not made to suit your needs. Such rubber product can have a poorly fitted bushing, grommet, pad or any other component, which could be subjected to wear thereby considerably reducing the component's life as well as increasing your costs.

All these factors show that green infrastructure is one of the best ways to contribute positively toward environment protection.

Different techniques to get free advertisementApril 27th, 2014
What is free advertising?
With the passage of time, as the demand for online business has increased, so has the need to use free advertising in order to promote businesses and different goods and services. People can either pay for advertisements so that they can get a special place within the website which is visited by hundreds of people or they can find out ways where they can attract people for free. Even though paying for advertisement has quick and effective results but most of the people are not able to handle the cost and expenses associated with them. Due to this reason, the demand for free advertisement has been increasing over time and most of the people tend to use resources through which they can get huge traffic without having to spend any penny on it. Even though this may sound unreal and challenging but it is easy if the person uses the correct method and is dedicated toward his/her work and website.
Different techniques to get free advertisement
Social networks provide the people with an opportunity to promote their websites through free advertising. If a page or group is made regarding that product or business, then the higher number of people will suggest that they are interested in it and will visit the website for sure. Moreover, people can also paste the link of their website on different pages and groups, which are visited by a lot of people so that the probability of the traffic being increased will go up. Sometimes people are provided with an opportunity to get free classified ads and they might be asked to include their website in certain lists and directories for free. Even if the person is dubious about the results, they should still give a shot to this because they don't have to pay anything in return and they might also end up getting higher traffics on their website. One method that is becoming popular is to create a service or a product and distribute it for free. Once it starts to gain attraction, people can automatically start to visit the website of the person. By using a viral content, the link of the website is spread automatically once it is posted on a well-known website. A person can always choose that free advertising technique which is most suitable to them and dedication towards it will ensure good results at the end.
Is free advertisement effective or not?
Success and failure of both paid and free advertisement depends on the way the person uses it. If the person uses the free advertisement in an effective manner and ensures that the websites does not remain constant but is updated as soon as any change takes place, then there is no doubt that people will be willing to visit this website. A paid but inefficient website by any person will not attract people until and unless special attention is paid to the work being done. Free advertising is available for people to take advantage from and it depends completely on them whether to take this opportunity as granted or get fruitful results through it.

This is factual with central air conditioning components, in addition to different kinds of ductless air conditioning units. Even though your unit is a bit older and is not in creation any more, there is still a high likelihood the original company will have precisely what you want.

If that is the scenario with your component, you might come across what you require at the neighborhood hardware store. This is particularly accurate if you are dealing with single space air conditioning components that you mount on a window.
Carry the old parts
An excellent approach while taking into consideration common air conditioning parts is to carry the older part. This will let you to visually test the manifestation of the substitute parts and find out if they are alike in shape and size. Over and over again, there is some kind of recognizing mark on air conditioning components that can be cross-checked with the information associated to the common components. This will assist you to concentrate on parts that are regarded well-matched with your air conditioner and are very likely to give outstanding service.
Search online
While it is not possible to get the cold room spare parts, you require from the maker or from a neighborhood retail store, think about browsing online for what you want. It is likely to get everything from made to order condensers to filters for split air conditioning components at diverse kinds of online shops and public sale sites. You might fit with newly produced air conditioning components, or think about refurbished or used parts also. When cash is tight, seeking a good deal online might be your best wage, as long as the shipping expenses are within reason.
Always expand your search
Getting the correct spare parts is an issue of recognizing what you require and defining where the components might be situated. All the time start with the maker, since there is a likelihood of discovering tiny details regarding the cold room spare parts that might prove useful if it is crucial to expand the hunt to neighborhood stores or online stores.

During this season, different products are made available to the customers at cheaper rates so that people can easily purchase them without having to face any financial pressure.
Benefits of sales season in Malaysia
To get to know more about sales, Malaysia promotes the seasons and products that are expected to be sold in this season and thus people can easily find information about them. Even though the sales season could be available in different months of the entire year but it is mostly in the months of November and December that the sales season is at its peak. This is because these are amongst those months where most of the local and foreign people visit these places and shop around for the amazing and exotic goods. There are several benefits of this sales season because along with local people, even foreign people can enjoy the cheap goods that they might find while shopping in the sales season and hence they can reduce the total cost that they face.
Promotion of sales season
In order to promote sales, Malaysia incorporates various procedures and methods that can inform the people of Malaysia and different people around the world through the effective promotional techniques that they use. Not only are there several posters that are made available around the country but most of the websites also help to play a crucial role in this regard. Malaysia is well aware of its strengths and it is also aware of the fact that the economy of the country depends substantially upon the different factors of the country such as restaurants, food, cultural and ethnic diversity, natural beauty and also the different events that take place in this country such as sales season. Hence, to promote sales, Malaysia has different exhibitions that take place in various shopping centers so that people can buy whatever they like to at reasonable prices.
Visiting Malaysia during sales season
It would be a bonus for the people, especially shopaholics if they visit Malaysia when the sales season is at its peak. People always want to get hold of good quality products at cheap rates but this situation hardly takes place. To promote sales, Malaysia offers high discount rates to their customers so that people can buy them at lower costs and thus be comfortable and happy while shopping.

UK duo Gold Spectacles say they marry their Baroque Pop sound with an interesting way to schedule releases. New single If I Die, I Don't Mind is part of a release cycle that's in tune with the lunar months! You might moon over this band after hearing the track, so be warned!
80s art-pop is to the fore here, echoes of Prefab Sprout and Scritti Politti giving the song a cerebral but essentially fun quality. The chorus is incredibly catchy but very unusual, as they sing about wanting to 'fly before they meet their maker'. There's a lot going on in a track that on first listen seems an innocent diversion, meaning repeated listens to this curio are essential.
The duo had this to say about the song; "We wanted to write a song that embodies the adrenaline boost that comes as a result of making a life defining decision. As the chemicals kick in, your body goes into autopilot and anything can happen. In that moment, you are going to succeed or die trying."
If I Die, I Don't Mind by Gold Spectacles is out now to find details on how to stream online. and download the song, as well as news on upcoming live dates, check out Instagram, Twitter and Facebook socials. If you like the song, why not show it some love on HypeM!

When I have a bad day, I typically go on social media to distract myself from whatever is going on, as most people do nowadays. After wandering on the internet for a while, I always stumble upon cute cat videos. I love watching them, and I easily become engrossed and before I know it I've missed dinner and the sun has set. Although I've completely wasted my time and avoided all my responsibilities, I genuinely feel better than I did before. It turns out I'm not the only one who does this, and in fact, Ed Mazza of Huffington Post posted an article about the correlation between watching cat videos and improvements in mood.
The article includes some really adorable cat videos, so I suggest you give them a watch! Mazza also mentions that watching cat videos as a form of procrastination can make the viewer feel guilty about not doing what they're supposed to, however in most cases these videos motivated the viewer and enabled them to get their work done! The article makes reference to this study by Jessica Gall Myrick, which goes into great detail about the kinds of people who watch cat videos and how cat videos have become more popular. The author of the study, Jessica Myrik, believes there can and should be more research about the correlation between watching cat videos and improvements in mood.
Now you may be thinking, why bother researching this correlation? In this article, Jessica Myrick, an assistant professor at Indiana University Media Center and author of the study previously mentioned, discusses the importance of doing research on internet cat videos. Myrick believes that to better understand the impact the internet has on us a whole, that the effect that internet cat videos have on their viewers must be observed and studied as well. These videos also could become an easy and affordable medium of pet therapy (Myrick).
I personally believe that watching internet cat videos as a form of stress release is a great. It is a harmless use of the internet, and a great release of stress. The study mentioned previously even concludes that these videos promote productivity for the viewer after watching them, and generally improves their mood. I think the possibility of using these videos as a form a pet therapy is wonderful, especially for those who can't afford a pet or who are allergic. I'm interested to see what future research will conclude about the correlation between watching cat videos and mood improvements, and in the meantime I'll be watching more cute cat videos on instagram.

Ginger Molassas Cookies
Brunch, Dessert, Gluten Free, Vegetarian • Respond to this post »
I have to admit by this time in the summer I long for a cooler day. Though, not as a respite to the heat, more for the opportunity to turn on the oven and bake. The thought of twisting that dial, and indadvertedly heating the kitchen, when it's so hot outside doesn't seem right
With the fortunate cold spell cooling down the summer heat, this week ushered in the very day I needed to whip up these Ginger Molasses Cookies. Not to be confused with a gingersnap cookie which are usually very crispy and spicy. These cookies have just the right blend of spices with the richness of molasses and the zing of crystallized ginger. Crispy at at the edges and soft and buttery soft toward the center, just the way I like them.
Definitely worth turning on the oven for, honey!
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar or organic brown sugar
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup arrowroot powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper, or generously grease and set aside.
Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of stand mixer, mix until well combined.
Add the egg and molasses until blended.
In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour, arrowroot powder, baking soda, salt and spices until blended.
Add to the sugar and butter and mix slowly until blended.
Chill mixture in the refrigerator for at least an hour, or up to a few days.
Using a small scoop or teaspoon, make small balls, about an inch in diameter and place 2 inches apart on lined cookie sheets.
Bake 12-15 minutes, rotating cookie sheet halfway through baking time.
Remove from oven when cookies have spread and are a rich brown color. Let cool for a few minutes on baking sheet then remove to wire rack to cool completely.
Cookies will become more crispy as they cool, store in a covered container.

Here is a bit of a horological heresey, the English Waltham! The Waltham watch company was steeped in American History, the company was founded by David Davies, Edward Howard and Aaron Lufkin Dennison who in 1850 set up a company in Roxbury Massachusetts to manufacture watch parts. The company was reputedly set up under a cloud of secrecy because David Davies, Edward Howard and Aaron Lufkin Dennison were going to do something quite inventive, set up a watch manufacturing company in which all the components were made in their watch factory subject to strict quality control. This was quite unheard of and pretty much a world first. The watches they produced represented a revolution in watch making, they could mass produce watches with interchangeable parts.
The first watches were made in 1852, and the company was named the Boston Watch Company in 1853. However the cost of production and retooling took its toll and the company was declared bankrupt resulting in the sale of the factory and larger machines to Royal E Robinns in 1857. He renamed the company Appleton Tracy & Company (ATCo) and retained Aaron Dennison as the factory superintendent. That year the company completed the development of the Model 1857 movement. By 1861 and the start of the American Civil War, ATCo had started to manufacture the William Ellery Model 57 watch. These watches were cheaply mass produced and became popular with Union soldiers who could buy them from roving merchants for a mere $13 or so. It seems that by the end of the civil war in 1865, the William Every Model 57 (Figure 1) accounted for 44.6% of the Waltham sales with the American Civil War Ellery watch serial number reaching around 161,000. (see "Origins of the Waltham Model 57" and "A closer look at a Civil War watch " ).
Heated debate about the Ellery 57 Model watch represented a turning point in the career of Aaron Dennison. He fell out with Robinns in 1861 and Robinns eventually dismissed him for being a "vocal Dissenter" in 1862. One can imagine that this was a bit of a blow, but the success of the Ellery 57 and the perceived vindication of Dennison's views seemed to drive him on to his next commercial venture. In 1864 Dennison took the opportunity to set up the Tremont Watch Company with A. O. Bigelow. The idea here was to assemble watches in the US from fine parts sourced in Switzerland and larger parts sourced in America. Seemed like a good plan, but whilst Dennison was away in Switzerland organising the transport of components, his partners decided to move the company to Melrose and manufacture complete watches there. Needless to say Dennison was not pleased, he left the new company predicting utter disaster and moved to Birmingham England in 1871 where he established a watch case making business in 1872. His timing was perfect because of the opening in 1874 of the London office of the American Watch Company by N.P. Stratton, (assistant superintendant to Dennison in 1857, see "Watches Factories of America; Past and Present" by Henry G Abbott). Here was a ready market for Dennison's cases and the person he had to convince of the value of his watch cases was none other than his old assistant superintendent at the American Watch Company. Unsurprisingly the majority of the output of Dennison's new watch case manufacturing business ended up being used by the London branch of the American Watch Company. What was particularly interesting about this though was that these early Dennison cases did not carry the Dennison makers mark, but AWCo, presumably because Robbins wouldn't tolerate a Dennison makers mark on his watches.
The association between the Dennison Watch Case Company and AWCo and the Later Waltham Watch Company, was maintained long after Aaron Dennison's death in 1895. The success of this collaborative venture was exemplified by the Waltham Traveler (Figure 2). The Waltham Traveler consisted of a 7 jewel movement and was favoured for the export market in the early 20th century. Tens of thousands were sent to the UK where they were mostly cased in Dennison gold or gold plated cases. These watches were robust and many have survived in good working order. They represent a very good investment for those wishing to buy a good antique watch. The real benefit of these watches is that because they were mass produced, the parts are readily sourced and are fully interchangeable.
By the First World War Waltham had become a major supplier of watch movements in the UK, but the market was changing. Pocket watches were of little use in the trenches of the European battle fields and troops had started to modify their watches by the addition of wire lugs. Dennison, having his business located in the UK was in a prime position to take advantage of this. By 1914/15 Dennison had started to make transitional or trench watch cases consisting of what looked like pocket watch cases fitted with wire lugs (Figure 3). These were designed to fit Waltham movements and were a favorite with British officers heading of to war. The design actually gained such popularity with the conservative British that the Dennison transitional watch cases were made right through the 1920s and into the mid to late1930s. The latest example we at Penrose Antiques Ltd have encountered dated from 1938.
Post WW1 there were also drivers to further refine wristwatch design. This was very much a period of the tank watch, a design first created by Louis Cartier in 1917. Virtually all watchmakers leaped on the tank watch bandwagon, and Waltham, was no different. By the 1920s Waltham was producing a range of movements designed to fit slim rectangular dress watchcases. Many of these movements made it to the UK to be encased in lovely simple but elegant slim lozenge shaped curved art Art Deco Dennison cases.
In the history of watch making, many watch manufacturers had watch movements made to fit their watch cases, for example the American Ball Watch Company used Swiss made Avia watch movement. Thus one could argue that the Walthams assembled in the UK form English made Dennison cases represent a special bread of English Walthams. After all many of the Dennison cases, although designed to fit Waltham movements were also designed for the English market. For example the early trench watch cases made by Dennison specifically met the needs of the British heading off to the trenches. The design was only later adopted by Waltham in the US to meet the needs of American troops post April 6th 1917 when the USA entered the war. So perhaps Britain, via the efforts and perseverance of Aaron Dennison can bathe in a small portion of the glory of the historically great American Waltham Watch Company.
The association with Dennison and the English market may also have played a part in the eventual downfall of the Waltham Watch Company. The British were by nature very conservative, but the UK was a major market for Waltham. Perhaps to meet the needs of this market, Waltham maintained a more conservative output, and it may have been that the English conservative influence led Waltham watches to be perceived as a bit boring in the home US market. This perception of conservatism was believed to have played a part in a decline of sales and the eventual bankruptcy of the Waltham Watch Company in 1949 and closure of the American Waltham Watch factory in 1957.

The panic felt on Friday over a 1.3% drop was surprising, given that the markets were still up on the week. What will investors do when they face a real plunge of 5-10% or more? On Apr 14, 2000, SPX dropped 100 points in a day — a drop to get excited about!
While things started out pretty well, by the end of the Friday's session the drop felt tired and back in control — if it was ever out of control. USDJPY fell to the .382 retrace of its last rise, fleshing out a rising channel bottom.
ES busted the crazy-steep purple channel, but never broke the rising white channel midline until last night — only to bounce back.
SPX found support at the latest .618 — near the purple midline and a channel bottom — but will probably benefit from a slightly lower bounce.
Bottom line — I'm certainly not turning bullish, but the potential for a bounce here shouldn't be ignored. Keep an eye on the yen — the driver of the whole mess. If it can hold 102.98, we should be off to the races.
102.98 has held so far, even as SPX/ES managed to put in another lower leg as expected. Aside from the highly leveraged go-go names that are over-represented in the hedge fund world, this decline still feels rather "managed."
I'll take a stab at some downside targets. continued for members…

The LM324 is the Heart or Intelligence in this Circuit. There is a voltage divider and zener too. They have a kit and pcb to buy and build .
A battery of a car can drive enormous amount of current, anything that is High-Voltage, High-Current or High-Frequency or a combination of these; are known to be high energy circuits. So as a precaution when you wire the positive to the car battery use an automobile fuse with holder like the one used outside the stereo player. The fuse has to be outside!
You could also use a fusible resistor in a metal box and keep it outside, the 12V positive has to go thru this. Any car/boat project needs this. A short circuit on PCB or Wire will blow fuse and everybody is safe.

The Ohio State University Men's Rugby team headed north on Sunday, the 2nd to battle Bowling Green in an in-state challenge for bragging rights. Bowling Green a member of the Mid-American Rugby Conference, and arguably one of the top programs in the Midwest, had intentions of spoiling the season opener for the 18th ranked Buckeyes.
The Buckeyes would score first with a try on a romp by Liam Garven. Bill Bryant of Bowling Green would tie the score shortly thereafter with a try of his won.
The battle of the in-state rivals would muscle on for a spell with no significant blurbs to pass on. The battle, for rugby fans, though was fun to witness. The desire, clear, on both sides was apparent.
Bowling Green would take the lead with another try with a strong sprint by Joe Johnson. At this point, gears would switch, as the Buckeyes mustered the strength to show their abilities, and the show would be dominant Buckeyes.
Within the scoring would be Matthew Strauder, Bryce Frazier, Spencer Krueger, and the winning try came at the hands of Tyler Maul, Junior Flanker, out of Darien, Connecticut.
The Buckeyes now head back to Columbus on the 7th against another in-state rival, the University of Cincinnati. The Bearcats of Cincinnati season's opener will be the 7th, against the Buckeyes.
There is a whole season before the Buckeyes. But, of note, the Rugby program as increasingly had gotten better over recent years. Just like football, wondrous talent is suddenly in our face, and then the time comes that they move on. Some, of course, more on to bigger and better things in the NFL, while others just fade into memory. It's the same in Rugby. As the season began, speaking for myself, I found myself saying, "Boy, how we can use Jack Bengel and JoJo Eramo – gone! But, that's our silliness in the need to have what we had – ignoring the new blood that will deliver as well. And, that, of course, is Matthew Strauder, Liam Garven, Tyler Maul, and Spencer Krueger.
New Blood is in Scarlet and Gray. And understand that's far from the belief of rebuilding – get a grip folks! Just as I, too, must take a pause, and learn the new names. But as the season progresses, we will learn the names, because they will be plastered in the box scores. As a rugby fan, I must confess I want results today, not yesterday, or tomorrow. As a Buckeye fan I have become accustomed to winning – weaning me from that – I promise will not be this season. I see big things happening at Fred Beekman Park, and elsewhere. The Scarlet and Gray Nation will be proud of these new blood's – new names – but, grab your ticker and click it each week as the wins will climb.
#18? I predict that will climb into at least the top ten prior to season's end.
Oh! I think I fell to mention the Buckeyes beat Bowling Green 27-12.
Just an arrogant Buckeye spiraling off into our greatness and ignoring ……

Costco Wholesale in 2008: Mission, Business, Model, and Strategy
Question 1: What is Costco's business model? Is the company's business model appealing? Why or why not?
The official Costco' mission statement is "To continually provide our member with quality goods and service at the lowest possible prices". This statement shows us what drives Costco and their long-term goal is. They want to sell high quality goods and services to their customers, along with the lowest price of the market. Thus it is easy to understand what why the company strategy is how it is: to generate high sales volumes and rapid inventory turnover by offering member very low prices on limited selection of national brand and select private-label product in wide range of merchandise category". As a wholesale company, Costco purchase large amount of product from manufacturer. It has the ability then to obtain large and deep discount from supplier, in the same way as Wal-Mart does. This strategy give to the Washingtonbased company a high purchasing power compare to retailer. By generating high sales volumes and rapid inventory, Costco receive payment from customers before supplier's payment are due. Here again, this gives to the company another way to get more discount, and pass this saving on to customers by lowering price. Moreover, the risk of obsolescence, one of the most financial issues with huge inventory, is decrease. Storage cost is in this case very low, because products move quickly in and out of the store. This model does not need high working capital, because the money flows 24/7. High liquidity value, and (almost) no need of additional loan. Thus, we have a company able to obtain deep discount and then get low prices for its customer, while still able to offer national brand and select private-label. All together, this looks really appealing. Customers get best price of the market and brand recognition at the same time. Business and Families come easily to shop at Costco
Question 2: What are the chief elements of Costco's strategy? How good is the strategy?
The three key components of Costco's strategy are a low pricing, a limited product line and limited selection, and a "treasure hunt" shopping department. The low pricing strategy consists of capping the markup at 14 percent for brand-name. While it is around twenty to fifty percent at others big markets, Costco prices are anywhere from six to thirty-six percent lower than its competitors. Additionally, Costco has its own brand named Kirkland Signature. This store-label produces juice, cookies, coffee, spices, tires, house wares, luggage, appliances, clothing, and detergent. The markup here is at fifteen percent, which still result for the wholesale company to be five percent lower than comparables named-brand.
The production selection is limited to 4,000 items classified in these category: rotisserie chicken, prime steaks, caviar, flat-screen TVs, digital camera, fresh flowers, fines wines, caskets, baby strollers, toys and games, musical instruments, ceiling fans, vacuum cleaners, books, DVDs, chandelier, stainless-steel cookware, seat-cover kits, for auto, prescription drugs, gasoline, and one-hour photo finishing. Although the range can appear wide, only a few products by category are available. Those ones are fast-selling models, sizes, and colors. It is a really good strategy, because it appeals to a variety of element. Commons goods like soft drinks are sold only by big-containers, case, carton, or multiple-pack, not individually. The last element is the "treasure-hunt" thing. Costco buy brand-named product on "the gray market" at a discount price. While some manufacturers do not want to have their product at Costco, because the low pricing strategy can hurt the image, others just do not have any issue with that. This is why it is easy to get big international brand. The treasure-hunt strategy consists of keeping three-fourth of products unchanged, but changing...

You have finally reached the point in your life where you decide to move forward with starting your own company. You may feel exhilarated and anxious to get started on creating your new future. Of course, you will need to make numerous decisions before you come close to opening the doors of your new company.
Licenses, Permits, Zoning and Enforcement: What Business Owners Need to Know About Administrative Law
When starting a new business in Florida, there are several legal considerations that need to be addressed. While some of these considerations are the same for all new businesses (such as choosing a business entity and preparing contracts for use with vendors and customers), certain legal requirements will vary from one business to the next.
Facing a License Issue? You Can Appeal, And Here's How...
As a practicing professional, you likely worked very hard to obtain and maintain your license. In Florida, there are dozens upon dozens of regulated professionals, ranging from cosmetologists to surgeons and pharmacists. Regardless of the position, facing an administrative complaint can be one of the most nerve-wracking experiences one can face in the workplace.
Administrative Law is Everywhere: Why You Need an Administrative Law Attorney
Did you know that there are two distinct law making bodies in Florida? Stemming from the legislative branch, the Florida State Legislature drafts, votes on, and enacts laws which are eventually codified in the Florida Statutes. From the executive branch, by contrast, comes the various administrative laws and agencies tasked with enforcing those laws which encompasses everything from the Department of Agriculture to Highway Patrol and everything in between.

Reporting from lower manhattan on Hurricain Irene. From the NoLita/SOHO area, there was not much to see or report of. The city virtually shut down but a few bars were still open until the late morning hours. Our thoughts go out to those who were affected more severly by the flooding and property damage.

"Now Fear This", the new video from former MARILYN MANSON and current ROB ZOMBIE guitarist John 5, can be seen below. The clip was directed by Matt Zane and contains live footage that was edited and directed by Zane.
"Now Fear This" will appear on John 5's new solo album, "Guitars, T!ts And Monsters", due later in the year.
"This is my fourth video for the fourth month of the year," the guitarist tells Loudwire. "I'm having a lot of fun releasing a new video the first of every month. At the end of the year, I will release the physical CD called 'Guitars, T!ts And Monsters' with a documentary, all the videos, and all the songs. I hope you enjoy this new song 'Now Fear This'."
He adds: "All my life I've really enjoyed music: making music, playing it, and recording it. It's such a relief and a joy to do what I do for a living. I know it sounds corny, but I think the meaning of life is to do what you love and be happy."
John has had an illustrious career collaborating with chart topping artists such as LYNYRD SKYNYRD, Ricky Martin, and Rod Stewart. John has performed on critically acclaimed world tours with Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie. Later, John ventured into the world of film score composing for Rob Zombie's "The Lords Of Salem". In 2004 he branched out into a successful solo career and has since released eight studio albums.

Second, to use that methodology to suggest the rate at which a Scottish Living Wage ought to be set for 2008. A Living Wage is a minimum income that enables workers and their families to maintain an acceptable standard of basic material needs without living in poverty. Unlike the minimum wage it is calculated on the basis of family expenditure.

Bloody Chronicles- New Cycle of Death is the first chapter in a new Visual Novel series by Japanese start-up Igrasil Studio. I must admit that I was hesitant to review Bloody Chronicles at first because Visual Novels aren't really my thing. Despite how much I act like a weeb online, I don't really spend any significant amount of time on the genre. Luckily, my first real Visual Novel experience ended up being a very enjoyable one.
Bloody Chronicles – New Cycle of Death
Publisher: Igrasil Studio
Developer: Igrasil Studio
Platforms: Windows PC, Mac, and Linux
Release date: April 15th, 2019
Players: 1
Price: $24.99
The story of Bloody Chronicles focuses on Igrasil, a privately-owned, non-governmental organization that helps the police with cold cases. After some initial skepticism, the detectives at Igrasil decide to take on their most challenging case yet: a string of grisly murders perpetrated by a mysterious killer known only as "the Phantom." Each murder seems more cryptic and nonsensical than the last, and are filled with clues based on bizarre masonic and religious symbolism.
You play as Kazuki Koyama, a young detective that has been with Igrasil for around a year. Kazuki was orphaned at a young age by a car crash that killed both his parents. An offhanded comment by a police officer about the crash "not looking like an accident" led him down the path of becoming a detective in the hopes of one day solving the case.
Despite being with Igrasil for a year, Kazuki's aloof, loner personality has ensured that he's never really become close with his coworkers. This leads to the game's many side stories and subplots.
Bloody Chronicles, though primarily a murder mystery, also doubles as a slice of life comedy/drama about Kazuki coming out of his shell and forging familial bonds with the rest of Igrasil's detectives.
Besides Kazuki, the core cast consists of Suzumi Misao, the Ishikawa twins Aki and Akito, and Kaoru Moriyama. Suzumi is the snarky tsundere boss of Igrasil, and often engages in sarcastic verbal duels with Kazuki.
Akito is easily excitable, and prone to going off track or making comedic references at inappropriate times. His sister Aki is awkward and naïve, but ultimately always has the best of intentions. Kaoru is the highly educated daughter of a wealthy businessman that helped Suzumi gain the funding she needed to create Igrasil, and often acts as the brains of the group when coming up with theories.
While they dip into plenty of anime tropes and stereotypes, the main cast of Bloody Chronicles are all very well fleshed out and display lots of chemistry with each other.
Kazuki can enter a romantic relationship with any of the main female characters, and this will eventually include ero scenes in a post-release update.
There's plenty of other interesting side characters as well, like General Coya, the enigmatic head of the Phantom case within the police force that acts as a friendly rival to Kazuki and Igrasil.
Another subplot involves Eiko, a relative of one of the Phantom's victims that decides to take matters into her own hands due to the glacial pace of the investigation.
While the main cast all get tons of development and screen time, its unfortunate that some of the side characters often get left behind.
Several of them, like Bradley, are abruptly introduced and play key roles in some of the game's B plots, only to disappear again for fairly lengthy stretches of time. I've also seen a number of fans lament the fact that side characters like Michiko aren't romance options.
As disappointing as it is, I can fully understand Igrasil Studio's situation. They are a small developer working with limited resources, so expanding on some characters and storylines might not be feasible at the moment.
Still, this is just the first chapter of the game, and Igrasil Studio has made it clear that they have heard the requests to see more of certain side characters. They've also teased a number of upcoming side stories, so this complaint will likely be addressed as more content and chapters become available.
As I alluded to earlier with Bradley, some characters and plot points feel like they are introduced a bit too abruptly and without any real leadup. One pretty serious tidbit about Kazuki's backstory seems to come out of no where, and isn't really addressed again.
I've only played through the game once, and that playthrough was off and on across multiple updates in the Early Access version, so its possible I may have missed something by picking different choices, or simply playing before a scene was added into the game.
You don't have any real control over what Kazuki says during most of the game's dialog, but that doesn't mean that the game is entirely linear. Every so often, the game will give you a choice to make.
Most of them lead to further character development, or the advancement of one of your romantic subplots. Some of them, particularly later on, do have an impact on the eventual outcome of the story.
This first chapter of Bloody Chronicles will take you around 25-30 hours to beat, and with multiple romance options, pathways, and endings, there's a decent amount of replay value on offer for the price.
While the story is intriguing and the game is mostly well-written, there's still a decent number of typos and translation issues. These have steadily gotten better over the course of the game's Early Access period, but you'll still encounter them from time to time.
On a related note, there's also a few instances of the voice acting not lining up with the text. Sometimes you'll get the voice acting from the next text box, and there's a handful of times where the voice acting and text are just completely different.
Speaking of voice acting, sadly Bloody Chronicles only has English VO options. Professional Japanese VO was one of the Kickstarter's stretch goals, and the game didn't earn enough to cover the costs.
If you don't like English VO in your Visual Novels, your only real option here is to turn off voice acting altogether. Hopefully one of these days they'll get a chance to retroactively add Japanese audio.
Luckily, the English VO is decent enough. There's a few minor characters that don't sound too great, but the majority of the core cast is fine. The main exception is Aki. Her voice acting and dialog sound a bit strange and forced in terms of delivery, but at the same time I think that could be intentional.
Aki is portrayed as a naïve and somewhat socially awkward gamer girl, so I'm not ruling out the possibility that her dialog was delivered as intended. In any case, she's one of the few core characters that a decent number of players seem divided on, in large part because of her voice acting.
One other thing to note is that, as I've stressed several times in this review, New Cycle of Death is just the first act of the Bloody Chronicles series. As such, the game doesn't really have a complete story yet.
The game is fully playable (and enjoyable) right now as is, but if episodic games bother you then you may want to wait until all the acts and side chapters have been released. As to when that might be, I really can't say.
Despite my initial hesitation to review Bloody Chronicles due to my lack of experience with the genre, I found myself really enjoying the game. It has an intriguing story, a great cast of enduring characters, and a lot of content to go through for a reasonable price.
It made me realize that maybe there's something to the Visual Novel genre, and that I should branch out and pay more attention to it.
While there's no confirmed release dates for the next acts and side story DLCs, I look forward to seeing what comes next for both the detectives of Igrasil, and the developers at Igrasil Studio.
