About Google In 1996-1997, Larry Page and Sergey Brin came up with an algorithm to rank web pages, called PageRank.
Realizing the potential to improve search engines, they tried and failed to sell the technology to any. So they founded Google, which in an incredibly short period of time has become one of the world's most powerful companies.

There's an app for everything – the problem is that we're so busy chasing the newest shiny toy that we rarely stop to learn to use simple tools well.
As a technical SEO, one of the tools I seem to never stop finding new uses for is the site: operator. I recently devoted a few slides to it in my BlueGlassX presentation, but I realized that those 5 minutes were just a tiny slice of all of the uses I've found over the years. People often complain that site:, by itself, is inaccurate (I'll talk about that more at the end of the post), but the magic is in the combination of site: with other query operators. So, I've come up with two dozen killer combos that can help you dive deep into any site. 1. site:example.com Ok, this one's not really a combination, but let's start with the basics.
Each combo in this post will have a clickable example (see below). I think we can all agree that 273,000,000 results is a whole lot more than most of us would want to sort through. 2. site:example.com/folder. Google tricks and shortcuts.
How do I exclude certain domains from Google results without using negative keywords? Surf Canyon - Free Browser Add-On for Real-Time Contextualized Search. New Chrome extension: block sites from Google's web search results. (Cross-posted on the Google Chrome Blog) We've been exploring different algorithms to detect content farms, which are sites with shallow or low-quality content.
One of the signals we're exploring is explicit feedback from users. To that end, today we're launching an early, experimental Chrome extension so people can block sites from their web search results. If installed, the extension also sends blocked site information to Google, and we will study the resulting feedback and explore using it as a potential ranking signal for our search results. You can download the extension and start blocking sites now.
When you block a site with the extension, you won't see results from that domain again in your Google search results. You can also edit your list of blocked sites by clicking on the extension's icon in the top right of the Chrome window. This is an early test, but the extension is available in English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Turkish.

The football world's gossip mill is in full swing, and Transfer Talk is monitoring the whispers ahead of all the summer moves. Check out the latest deals and potential deals here.
Jose Mourinho is eyeing up two blockbuster strikers this summer to form his own potent front three to rival the famous "BBC" and "MSN" at Real Madrid and Barcelona, according to the Sun.
Romelu Lukaku and Antoine Griezmann are on the Manchester United manager's wish list, claims the report, and the Portuguese tactician wants to keep Zlatan Ibrahimovic to act as a leader of his new-look attack.
It is reported that the pair could cost as much £160 million, with Mourinho intent on reducing the scoring burden Ibrahimovic currently carries. The 35-year-old would then extend his stay at Old Trafford for a further 12 months on a massive salary of £10m.

Arsenal 'win' Kolasinac race
Arsenal are in turmoil, but they appear to be making moves despite not knowing whether Arsene Wenger will stay at the Emirates.
With transfer fees out of control, free agents are becoming more valuable than ever, and the Gunners have clinched the signing of Sead Kolasinac from Schalke on a free, reports the Mirror.
Earlier reports this month had suggested AC Milan, under new ownership, had struck a deal, but the North London side are reportedly close to announcing a deal. The Bosnian international has impressed at Schalke in the Bundesliga but has opted against renewing his deal in search of a fresh challenge.
Roma agree deal for Chelsea target Kessie
Roma have agreed a deal to sign Chelsea target Franck Kessie, claims Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport.
The Ivorian midfielder, who has been compared with compatriot Yaya Toure, has shone for Atalanta this season in Serie A with a series of dominant displays.
The Giallorossi will reportedly pay €28m for the 20-year-old, as well as paying the player a yearly salary of €1.4m.
Kessie has been the subject of intense interest from the Blues, with Antonio Conte keen to pair N'Golo Kante with a more explosive partner than Nemanja Matic, but the player has opted to remain in Italy.
Hart wants Italy stay
Joe Hart wants to stay at Torino permanently after enjoying his loan from Manchester City, reports the Mirror, but the England international's wage demands could prevent it from materialising.
City would demand £15m from the Granata to convert his loan into a long-term deal, while Hart's £120,000-per-week wages are another obstacle.
Tornino manager Sinisa Mihajlovic bemoaned the financial restrictions imposed on the club but maintained hope of a second loan agreement.
"Hart would like to stay at Torino," Mihajlovic is quoted as saying. "We're aware, both the club and him, that we can't buy him. At most we can loan him for another year but that depends on Manchester City and on what he wants."
– Everton are on the brink of agreeing to terms for Real Sociedad striker Willian Jose, reports the Mail, pointing to an exit for Lukaku. The Brazilian forward would cost around £28m and surely see the Toffees star Lukaku head to the Goodison Park exit having refused to sign a new contract.
– Craig Shakespeare has denied his Leicester City are interested in signing England and Middlesbrough centre-back Ben Gibson, according to the Leicester Mercury. Some reports had suggested the Foxes would be in the running to sign the £30m-rated defender but the interim boss has played down talk.

text: Echo Park is a place you once never went in to if you valued life and now you don't go unless you have the perfect cuff on your pants. Though, with the transformation from ghetto paradise to hipster haven came a surge in great live music. My Uber ride from Venice over to this East Los Angeles suburb was only about $30, which is a steal if you have ever ridden a cab in the city any further than one or two blocks, and music venues are abundant. On any given day or night you can happen upon an Indie band blasting your ear drums at The Echo or slide in to Fix Coffee to hear soft melodies from a solo artist and their acoustic guitar. Which is exactly what happened when I visited the area for the first time. I do not remember the name of the artist performing that day at Fix but as I walked along streets of the city I saw that Ty Segal was performing that evening at The Echo and immediately bought a ticket. Further along the day I discovered that there were to be a multitude of shows that taking place that night. So if you can't find a show to go to in Echo Park then you need to start reading the fliers that decorate the walls and street posts of the area.

By Joseph Guyler Delva, Reuters
PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) – Haiti's president on Tuesday condemned "arrogant" U.S. criticism of corruption in his government, and said the Haitian presidency should have final veto power over donor-funded reconstruction projects following January's catastrophic earthquake.
President Rene Preval's anger was directed at a U.S. State Department Human Rights report on Haiti for 2009, released last week, which said "corruption remained widespread in all branches and at all levels of government".
His reaction threatened to sour Haiti's ties with its main relief partner as the Caribbean state's government and foreign donors drafted a plan for the country's recovery and long-term reconstruction following the devastating Jan. 12 quake.
Preval told Reuters in an interview the U.S. government report alleging serious corruption was "arrogant". "There is nothing to reject or accept. It is an arbitrary judgment to which we won't respond," he said in an interview in a temporary office behind the quake-damaged presidential palace.
The report, part of a batch issued annually by the State Department for countries around the world, was prepared before the Jan. 12 quake that shattered many parts of the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince and surrounding towns, wiping out at least half of the country's gross domestic product (GDP).
Preval said government employees had counted 217,000 dead but the final death toll was probably more than 300,000.
The Haitian president, a 67-year-old agronomist who took office in 2006, said the U.S. State Department practice of judging human rights in other states "hurt" the United States' partners, and he hoped President Barack Obama would end it.
Last week, in a visit to Washington, Preval personally thanked Obama for U.S. assistance to Haiti following the earthquake, described by some experts as the deadliest natural disaster in modern times.
"Is there corruption in the United States? Yes. Is there corruption in Haiti? Yes. Is the U.S. government fighting corruption? Yes. Is the Haitian government fighting corruption? Yes," said Preval, who has been praised by the international community for seeking economic reform and cleaner government.
On Obama's instructions, the U.S. government and military became Haiti's leading emergency relief provider in the weeks after the quake, playing a major role in bringing in aid supplies, maintaining security and dispensing medical help.
However, most analysts and development experts agree that corruption has been deeply entrenched in Haiti for decades, part of a stubborn cycle of economic underdevelopment and political instability that has kept the small Caribbean state the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere.
The corruption issue has become acutely sensitive as foreign donors prepare to commit to a planned Haiti Reconstruction Fund that will help to repair quake damage estimated at up to $14 billion by some economists, and also to finance the country's medium- and long-term development.
Preval said Haiti was proposing that the fund, to be finally agreed at a high-level meeting of donors in New York on March 31, would initially be jointly administered for 18 months by representatives of the donors and of the Haitian state, sitting in a governing board.
"This governing board will analyze the projects proposed by the Haitian government and there will be an executive council for the execution of the projects once they have been approved by the governing board, and finally by the president, who has right of veto," he said.
After 18 months, the administration of the reconstruction fund would revert to the Haitian state alone, he said.
Besides the rebuilding fund, which Dominican Republic President Leonel Fernandez has said could consist of at least $10 billion, Preval said Haiti urgently needed donors to quickly deliver $350 million in direct budgetary support to help his government provide key services and pay salaries.
Donor commitments existed for $375 million in budget support, but most of this had not been disbursed, he said.
Preval said Haiti also needed $38 million to prepare for the hurricane season, starting on June 1, which aid workers fear could threaten hundreds of thousands of quake survivors camped out in the open in the capital and elsewhere.
Other requirements were $8 million to buy seeds and $68 million for fertilizers, to try to boost food output, he said.
Preval added that he hoped donors at the upcoming New York meeting would understand the importance of putting decentralization at the heart of reconstruction, by backing the building of roads and schools outside the crowded capital.
Port-au-Prince, which houses well over a third of Haiti's nearly 10 million population, sits near a geological fault line and experts have warned of the risk of more earthquakes.

If you've been using Pi Day as an excuse to just eat pie, you're doing it wrong. Here are some fun tidbits about pi and its day of celebration, i.e. March 14.
**Check out our list of freebies and deals at the bottom of this page**
What is pi?
Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, or approximately 3.14.
What is Pi Day?
Pi Day occurs March 14, because the date is written as 3/14 in the United States. If you're a serious math geek, celebrate the day exactly at 1:59 a.m. or p.m. so you can reach the first six numbers of pi, 3.14159.
March 14 is also Albert Einstein's birthday.
How did Pi Day start?
Physicist Larry Shaw started Pi Day in 1988 at San Francisco's Exploratorium to celebrate the famous number and mathematics in general.
In 2009, the US House of Representatives passed a resolution to recognize Pi Day.
Who invented pi?
The mathematical concept of pi has been around for thousands of years, but it started to be known by the Greek letter only in the 1700s. Philologist William Jones began using the symbol in 1706, but it was popularized by mathematician Leonhard Euler.
Why is pi important?
Unless you're a mathematician or scientist, you probably don't encounter pi very often. But pi is essential for calculations in math, engineering, construction, physics and space exploration.
Does pi ever end?
Like our love for pie, pi is infinite. Its exact value can never be calculated, and it doesn't seem to have a pattern. Here's pi to the 10,000th digit. You should recite it.
Who holds the record for reciting pi?
Rajveer Meena holds the record for reciting the most number of decimal places of pi. In 2015, Meena recited 70,000 decimal places blindfolded. It took him 10 hours.
Pi Day Deals
Here comes the good part.
Many businesses are having special Pi Day deals and specials. Check out our list below:

The authors of a new study from the University of Linkoping (Linköping University) concluded that severe forms of alcoholism develops as a result of "disabling" PRDM2 gene, which is responsible for protein synthesis, needed for the system self-control in the brain. The study is published in the scientific journal Molecular Psychiatry.
Markus Heilig (Markus Heilig) with co-authors revealed the molecular mechanism of the development of alcoholism. Scientists for several years have explored the changes that occur in the brain of rats suffering from alcoholism due to the prolonged use of alcohol.
"This protein before, interested in our colleagues, cancer-research, we did not know that it plays an important role in brain functions. We found that the protein PRDM2 regulates the activity of several genes that are required for the exchange of signals between nerve cells. Deficiency of this protein in the body cells, which are responsible for the system of self-control, can not communicate and stop the impulse to drink," says the study's author.
Scientists in their scientific work has temporarily disabled the gene PRDM2 have several rats, as a result, it was in fact immediate development of alcoholism in rodents, this confirms the hypothesis put forward by them, that willpower and self-control to respond to certain genes.
The authors hope that their discovery will help to create drugs that will affect PRDM2 and stimulate the activity of this protein in the brain of people suffering from alcoholism, through the return of self-control. Scientists hope that the discovery of the mechanism of development of alcoholism make it a real disease in the eyes of ordinary people, and not a manifestation of the sample shameful behavior or mental disorders.

Mayacoo Lakes Country Club is a Private, 18 hole golf course located in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Mayacoo Lakes first opened for play December 1972. The course was designed by Jack Nicklaus and Desmond Muirhead. Golf architect Kipp Schulties restored the course to its original design in 2007.
Mayacoo was the first course that Jack Nicklaus designed.
The course has a number of blind shots. The greens are somewhat small. The course also challenges with lateral water hazards that come into play throughout the design. The layout is surrounded by a forest of slash pines, palms, and lush South Florida vegetation. Hole #6 has a double-tiered green
Par for the course is 71 for men and 72 for women. From the back tees, the course plays to 6,906 yards. From the forward tees, the course measures 4,973 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 13, a par-5 that plays to 550 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 3, a par-17 that plays to 173 yards from the back tees.
Watch out for # 4, a 455-yard par-4 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole at Mayacoo Lakes is # 14, a 199 yard par-3.

Concertina group based in Maidstone, Kent, UK
• Home • About Us • Past Events • Features • Contact Us • Members Only •
We were delighted to be invited to host this years AGM of the International Concertina Association, coinciding nicely with our 10th anniversary celebrations.
The day, which was open to all, and held in the lovely Wateringbury Village Hall, began with well, coffee of course! This was followed by an all-system workshop led by the lovely Iris Bishop. We played a variety of music in parts, from Making Whoopee to Polka Chinoise. Everyone who participated enjoyed the teaching and the music, even though some of us missed a note or two, and all together we created an impressive sound. There was, of course, an interval for coffee this time accompanied by cake! (Well, we are Kettle Bridge and have a standard to maintain!).
Lunch was followed by the business of the day, but the AGM proceeded pretty smoothly and we were soon able to get on with the fun!
After tea (and cake) there was time for some impromptu playing and sharing of music before everyone repaired to the pub for dinner. The meal had been organised to the last detail by Trina and John, and The Wateringbury did an excellent job of serving nearly 40 people, with John keeping watch to ensure that no one ate anyone elses meal.
Back to the hall after dinner for an informal concert. Kettle Bridge big band started the proceedings, playing Matt Kingstons When Johnny comes marching home and John Hammonds arrangement of Battle Hymn of the Republic, Matt Kingstons Swing Low Sweet Chariot and our own Clifford Shiels arrangement of Schneewaltzer. This was our beginners first public performance, and they admitted that it wasnt so scary after all! (or did I mis-hear?)
Next to show their skills were Tracy Tye and John Wild, playing Come back to Sorrento from Phil Hopkinsons collection Dancing with ma Baby after a very short practice together outside by the toilets. Tracy went solo on the next piece Dancin with ma baby and pulled off some very tricky moves!
We were then entertained by the talented Paul McCann, playing Hector the Hero, a set of Irish tunes, a set of minuets and finishing with the well-loved Victorian Parade, which he dedicated to our Pat, who has requested the tune at her funeral!
Iris played for us next Speak softly love, Blue Moon, Attingham Waltz, Solace, Phoebes Iceberg and the M1 waltz, all wonderful to hear and enhanced by the history and stories that accompanied them.
Paul was then called up to assist with the Penguin Café Orchestras Music for a Lost Harmonium (look it up!) he played the G with such skill! and Napoleons Grand March.
To finish the evening, the Kettle Bridge Thursday group played Cliffords arrangement of The Muppet Show, Paul Barretts Beatles Medley and Matt Kingstons arrangement of Pastime with Company many thanks to Alan for the drum accompaniment.
The final thing to do was to offer everyone a piece of our celebration CAKE!
We were really pleased that everything went according to plan and hope that all who attended, Kettle Bridge and ICA members and their guests, enjoyed the day. A big thank you must go to MFD and her team for keeping everyone supplied with tea and CAKE!

Promthep Cape

HappyTrips Editors
Sitting on top of a giant cliff, watching the sun retire into the ocean is the perfect end to a day. Make a trip down to Promthep Cape to catch the sunset and to just sit and enjoy the silence. Every evening, large tour buses, scooters and private cars sweep through Rawai Beach and make their way up the island's southernmost hill in order to watch the sunset at its peak. Promthep Cape forms the southernmost point of Phuket island and is an absolutely irresistible spot for a good old-fashioned sunset photo. If you are touring the south of Phuket, you could also visit the Rawai beach or the Naiharn beach—both being fairly close to the sunset point. Visitors are also spoilt for choice thanks to the area's numerous restaurants, with the Promthep Restaurant being the best bet for seafood.

Control System Methods
In many machines and industrial plants, physical variables must be maintained at a predetermined value independent of external influences. To achieve this three functions must take place. Measurement, comparison and adjustment. The required cycle of operation takes place in a so-called control loop. Control loops can be classed as open or closed.
An example of an open control loop is a radiator in a central heating system. The supply of warm water and, thus, the temperature in the room is "controlled" or adjusted with a manually operated valve. As soon as the room temperature rises, the valve must be closed by hand. As soon as the room temperature drops, the valve must be opened by hand, i.e. the rise and fall of the temperature is not controlled automatically. This is an open-loop control system with no automatic feedback loop.
Adding a thermostatically controlled radiator valve that opens and closes in accordance with room temperature converts this open loop into a closed loop.
DIN standard 19226 defines the terms "Control and Adjustment" as follows: "Control and adjustment is an operation in which a physical variable (e.g. temperature, pressure etc.) is continuously measured and compared to a previously specified value of the variable with the aim of matching the two. The resulting closed sequence of actions occurs in a closed loop, the closed-control loop."At the example of temperature regulation in a heating radiator, the actual temperature is measured with a temperature sensor and compared to the predetermined value. As soon as there is a difference between the desired value and the measured value, a signal is transmitted to the valve to open or to close. This means that the temperature is held at the predetermined value irrespective of any outside conditions.
A process which takes place step-by-step is called discontinuous. A discontinuous-action controller influences the process with short switching actions at a constant level of energy. Discontinuous-action controllers are therefore also called switching controllers. Controllers assure the actuating function by triggering a sequence of energy pulses. These pulses have influencing times at fixed energy levels but limited influencing periods.
Continuous-action controllers assure the actuating function by having a continuous influence on the process. Controlling takes place permanently. The controlled variable can have any value within the defined control range. Non-intermittent, random control signals between 0 and100 % are triggered.

My younger brother, who is graduating from highschool in June, has been requesting me to make some birthday cards. So I ask him what he would like on the cards and once he starts to describe it to me, I tell him just to draw it out. Well my dear brother draws come pretty cute stuff, so I decided that I would just use his images to paper piece what he wanted. And now *drumrolls* the results!
He drew the little girl hanging by the balloons! At first we were going to do a shape card, but I decided to make it into an 8.5x5.5 card. Had I know I was going to end up doing that, I would have made the shadow a different color! (Background: American Crafts Everyday collection; Jacket: Making Memories Just Chillin' collection)
This one is a ninja themed card. He originally drew this card with a ninja star, but I suggested him to choose another "weapon" so that way I could stamp "happy birthday" on to the weapon. I used embroidery floss on the handles and I think it came out soo cute! (The card was for a girl so it was okay! ;P) Oh yeah, the leaves were hand cut.
This was the latest card I made (which I made today). I believe he said his friend liked Taylor Swift so he drew something inspired by her. She is just too cute! (May I inform you my brother doesn't draw only "cute" things, he only does it for girls! Hahaha! He really is quite the artist.) I actuallydon't know what color he wanted her hair so I just made it brown, after all, it IS just an inspiration. (Background and Dress: Making Memories Just Chillin' collection)
So for taking so long to post something! But I hope you like it and until next time, enjoy!

I love getting email from Lynn's Weigh readers. I really do. And I try to answer it as best I can and in a timely manner. But this week I have so much on my plate – out of the ordinary things that are consuming my thoughts – and I wouldn't be able to answer the following email in a thoughtful way.
So I need your help. Can you, particularly the veteran weight-loss folks, answer this email I received today from Stacey? When I get a chance I'll refer her to what I've written in the past, but I know we each have our individual answer to the questions she poses.
Variety being the spice of life, your answer may be just what Stacey needs to hear to get her on the path of permanent weight loss.
Here's her email:
"I am looking for advice. How did you stick with it at first? I have a very hard time getting motivated to do it. I know it is pure laziness on my part. I loved WW in the past when I have tried it. When seeing results I get excited and all that but as soon as I fall off the wagon or have a bad day it is all over and I'm back to square one.
I am 36 and at 290. I am so ready for a life change. Any help you can give would be wonderful."
Leave a comment or send me an email to email@example.com and I'll be sure to forward it to Stacey. Thanks a ton, you guys.
A quick update on Mathilda. She's not doing well. Her back legs just aren't working. We may need to put her down this week. The only saving grace is that we got that second chance, that extra time to spend with her. And we've been savoring every moment.
Thank you again for all your kind comments and well wishes. I know so many of you have been down this road before. It's never easy.

Learner driver has car seized by police
PUBLISHED: 19:16 10 February 2019 | UPDATED: 19:16 10 February 2019
Breckland Police
A provisional driver had their car seized by police after being caught on the road.
Officers in Breckland were responding to a report of a driver possibly under the influence of alcohol or dugs on Saturday night when they stopped the learner driver between Swaffham and Narborough.
A tweet from Breckland Police said: "Turns out driver only had a provisional licence making insurance void."
The driver's car was subsequently seized by police.
In their tweet officers added the hashtags #DriveLegal and #AndAnotherOneOffTheRoad.
It followed a separate vehicle seizure earlier in the week by police in Thetford.
The vehicle in question had made off from officers in the town. The occupants were searched and the car was seized along with a quantity of cash.
The driver was arrested for drug driving (after traces of cannabis and cocaine were found in a drug wipe), possession of cannabis, a Class B drug, driving while disqualified and driving without insurance.

"Honesty is for the most part less profitable than dishonesty." – Plato
Almost immediately after the idea that currency could be exchanged for goods and services become part of civilization, people began to produce counterfeit coins. Originally these forgeries were produced with the intention of spending them. More recently, scam artists have branched out into the world of collectible currency. Realizing that deceiving collectors was more lucrative than passing fakes off to merchants, counterfeiters' knowledge and technology has grown side by side with those producing the genuine article and those that detect forgeries. Eventually the numismatic community was confronted with a confusing array of counterfeits that were produced in several different ways. In response to the growing concern over counterfeits by its members, the American Numismatic Association started a specific branch to deal with the problem in 1972. The newly formed agency was named American Numismatic Association Certification Service (ANACS). Coins submitted to ANACS were deemed to be genuine or not and returned to their owners. Besides certification, ANACS disclosed its findings and published diagnostic features that would help the public identify counterfeits. By 1979, ANACS's role had grown to encompass grading coins. A few years later, they were joined by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS). Although the main focus of these groups is placing a grade on coins, part of that process is determining authenticity with unquestionable accuracy. While convenient, getting a coin certified will cost at least $30. Coins valued below this dollar amount are often not sent for certification and could be counterfeit. This article will focus on the basics of determining authenticity and is the first in a series discussing counterfeits.
There are quite literally volumes of text that have been written about counterfeits. The methods and technology of producing fakes are as varied as the coins being forged. Therefore it is easier to train yourself to look for indicators of authenticity rather than knowing the myriad identifiers of a fraudulent article. Knowledge of how coins are made, the shapes of mint marks, the styles of numerals, and the characteristics of dies all play a role in determining the authenticity of a coin. However, this knowledge is only accrued through time and experience. The factors of authenticity just discussed are available in large part due to the way the United States Mint treats its dies and coins. Because of the meticulous nature of the minting process, there are certain aspects of real coins that counterfeiters have a difficult, if not impossible, task of recreating. This gives knowledgeable collectors a distinct advantage: while a counterfeiter may have to make several versions of the same coin, the fact that the U.S. Mint may only use one or two dies to produce a coin means the identifiers from those dies will be present in every coin struck. These characteristics are discussed below.
Die Elements. The dies used by the U.S. Mint are routinely cleaned and maintained. During this process the dies develop bulges, cracks, clash marks, and other minor imperfections. Being able to recognize these polish marks makes it possible to authenticate a coin. Certification services habitually examine the well-protected areas of a coin to find the crisp, well-defined die polish marks. Just as cleaning and polishing leaves points of recognition, foreign materials sometimes find their way into dies and leave marks as well. Additionally, the multiple transfers that occur during the minting process causes the luster of devices and fields to contrast. The luster alone on some counterfeits is sufficient for experienced collectors to notice them. Although crucial, die features are the ones most routinely lost in counterfeiting.
Quality of Devices. On United States coins, the letters, numerals, and visual features should erupt squarely in a defined, sharp manner. The tops of the devices should also be as precise.
Edge. Although sometimes overlooked, knowledgeable collectors consider a coin's edge to be a third surface that is just as vital as the obverse and reverse. It can help identify alterations to a genuine coin as well as designate an out-right fraud. One of the most detectable edge features is the seam that results from cast counterfeiting when the obverse and reverse are joined.
Specific Gravity, Weight, and Materials. Because counterfeiting has advanced to the point of being able to match authentic coins in physically quantifiable parameters, this is the least likely mode of detection to be successful. But if a collector is suspicious that a coin might be fake, it's a good idea to check. For example, if that $20 gold piece you're considering purchasing sticks to a magnet, put it back.
Understanding of Mint Marks and Date Punches. As with most subjects, the best defense against being fooled by a counterfeit coin is knowledge. Knowing and recognizing the punches used in the production of genuine U.S. coins. This is particularly important knowledge for coins that are frequently altered. When a collector knows the style of the date or mint mark punch, any coin that deviates from that style is immediately suspected of being a forgery.
Although the basic features discussed above are important, they merely scratch the surface of all that can be studied regarding counterfeit coins. And while these points are germane to the conversation, the biggest factors as to whether or not an individual collector will be duped by a fake piece are knowledge and experience. There is a lot of information that can be obtained by collectors willing to share it. Major coin events often have counterfeit seminars where interested collectors are instructed in a classroom setting over several days. Collectors that can spot a fake seemingly instantly have examined a vast amount of coins. And while knowledge takes the effort to obtain it, experience only comes with spending time observing the coins.

Is it Christmas yet? Well, good question. Christmas is only a mere 87 nights of sleep to go. That's close, right?! Right? Well, if you happened to disagree, you're wrong. Scott Tolleson and Seriously Silly K are going to prove you wrong with their new Custom Kidrobot Dunny collaboration. Meet Krampus the Christmas Devil.
Using the superb sculpting skills of Seriously Silly K, the duo have crafted an amazing piece of beautiful Christmas naughtiness. The best bit, we've not yet seen the paint job that Tolleson plans to apply to this sculpture. If it's anything like what we've come to expect from Scott, this release is going to be dope AF. The 5inch Dunny will form part of the Clutter's DTA Custom Dunny show at NYCC next weekend, which you can read about HERE. As you can see below, the original sketch by Scott has been absolutely nailed by SSK with her sculpting. Fantastic all around.
[carousel source="media: 56106,56107,56112″ width="400″ height="400″ items="1″ title="no"]
Perhaps one day we'll see this design turned into a Production Dunny release by Kidrobot. Who knows. Would you like to see this design make it to the production level?

Madison is bringing home little books to read and she is to read them to everyone in the house to practice. She is very good actually. I have to say of the 4 kids (and I know it's not a good thing to compare) she is probably the smartest and this school stuff is a breeze for her where the others had a little more struggles to read at the begining. Yes she makes mistakes but here is a video of her reading this only the second time they have brought home books and up until this week they were just learning basics of how to read and all those stupid rules that are part of the english language when it comes to reading. Take a look!!
Untitled from my4kidsdunn on Vimeo.
Isn't she cute! In case you don't know what bunny trails are it is a phrase we have used since we were in high school. Basically when you get side tracked on something and get off topic. Madison is well known for doing it! It is me and her uncle Josh commenting in the background.
Did you notice her clothes? She is wearing a tshirt and capri pants with out shoes or anything and she is reading outside. That is my girl. She changes when she gets home and even though it is 40 degrees outside she insists she isn't cold. Weird kid.
Fits her perfectly!
I think she has great handwritting for a 1 st grader. The scanner didn't pick it up very well and you can't see there is an "s" on the columbus. The teacher told them the line and they had to write it themselves. She did pretty good didn't she? She spelled things correctly even.
Can you tell I'm a proud mama to my Maddie roo.....
I do plan on some posts on how the other kids are doing at school as well since we moved but I probably will post those around once a week or something. I signed up for NaBloPoMo and you can see the link on my sidebar. In case you are wondering about the picture on the link that is Madison a couple of years ago. She fell asleep with a stuffed doggie on her head! Anyway about the NaBloPoMo I am working on what I will fill each day with and have some ideas. We will have Joshua, Kenzie and Kelly's birthday that month and I plan on doing something similar to what I did before Izzaks birthday in April where I show pictures and give bits of info on them up till now but I probably won't do it the same exact way. I'm sure I will have no problem posting every day though. I am never at a loss for words!

The Oscars. Check. Golden Globes. Check. The Grammys. Check. Met Gala. Check. What is the one thing which is common among all the mentioned events? Apart from music, movies and awards, one thing which binds all of them together is the shiny, glittery, the royal red carpet. All the red carpet events that the fashion world dives into with hawk eyes have been done with for the year 2015. All except one. Festival De Cannes, better known as the Cannes Film Festival. It is that time of the year when the shutterbugs in France and the fashion police across the globe have their eyes on the Cannes red carpet. And when it comes to appearances at the festival, Bollywood, over the decade, has been very prominent at the festival . With Aishwarya Rai Bachchan leading the pack, over the years a bevy of Indian stars have followed suit. This year, Katrina Kaif has made her debut at the prestigious film festival. Here we look at the top Bollywood appearances at the Cannes Film Festival over the years:
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
[slider id='58850′ name=" size='full']
Aishwarya can be easily called as the 'Face of India' at the Cannes. She made her debut at the festival in the year 2002 for the screening of her film 'Devdas' co starring Shah Rukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit. Since then, till date she has been casting a spell at The Cannes Film festival.
Once a King, always a King. And the thing about Shah Rukh is that he has always been one. He made his first and only appearance at the festival, arriving in a horse drawn carriage along with co-star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. And the gentleman that Khan is, he also made sure Ash lands safely on the red carpet.
Amitabh Bachchan
Celebrating 100 years of Indian cinema as well as to representing his Hollywood debut The Great Gatsby, Big B made an appearance at the 2013 edition of the festival.
The fashion icon of India has taken her impeccable sense of style across seven seas straight to the Cannes Film Festival, making multiple red carpet appearances.
At the 2010 Cannes Film Festival, Deepika Padukone made an appearance in a gorgeous Rohit Bal saree, that stunned one and all.
Abhishek Bachchan
Another Bachchan to have made his mark at The Cannes, Abhishek made a suave appearance with wifey Aishwarya at the festival, who had her newly wed glow intact.
Vidya Balan was present at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, to celebrate 100 years of Indian cinema. Staying true to her Indian ethnic style, she had to face brickbats from the fashion police all over for her red carpet looks.
Since Slumdog Millionaire, the beautiful Freida Pinto has been carving a niche all across the globe for Indian cinema. And her appearances at Cannes have been no less.
A regular on the Cannes carpet , Mallika Sherawat had a live snake for company at the premiere of her film 2010 film Hisss.
And last but not the least. Fresh from the oven, the latest Bollywood celebrity to make an appearance at the Cannes. The scintillating Katrina Kaif.

Besides President Donald Trump, another top official whose leadership came under scrutiny during former FBI Director James Comey's testimony to a Senate committee Thursday was Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
The picture that was painted wasn't flattering for Sessions. Comey, in his public testimony, suggested that the FBI knew Sessions was compromised from overseeing the agency's probe into Russian meddling in last year's election even before the attorney general recused himself in March from the matter.
Comey also depicted Sessions as unwilling to intervene and keep Trump from making what the then-FBI director saw as inappropriate direct contacts with him.
The bottom line may be a further eroding of Sessions' position and clout within Trump's administration.
The attorney general figured prominently in Comey's written opening statement to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and in some of the questioning from senators.
In his statement, Comey suggested he had reason to believe, more than two weeks before Sessions announced his recusal, that Sessions would likely be taking that step.
What's more, FBI leadership deliberately kept Sessions out of the loop about Trump's direct request to Comey, during a private Oval Office encounter in February, that the agency drop an inquiry into former national security adviser Mike Flynn.
The then-FBI director memorialized Trump's request in contemporaneous notes that are now with Robert Mueller, the special counsel appointed to handle the Russian probe after Trump fired Comey in early May.
"We concluded it made little sense to report it to Attorney General Sessions, who we expected would likely recuse himself from involvement in Russia-related investigations," wrote Comey in his statement.
Asked about this detail by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) on Thursday, Comey explained that FBI leadership determined that Sessions "was very close to" and would be "inevitably going to recuse himself for a variety of reasons."
"We also were aware of facts that I can't discuss in an open setting that would make his continued engagement in a Russia-related investigation problematic," Comey added. That suggested there's more to Sessions' recusal and potential contacts with the Russians that the U.S. public has yet to learn.
Comey continued his testimony to the Senate committee in a closed session Thursday afternoon. There, Comey told senators that Sessions may have had a third meeting last year with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak, according to CNN, which had reported that detail recently. A day after two previously reported meetings came to light, Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation.
In the public session, Comey declined to offer more specifics when asked about Sessions' recusal. But he said it was "a reasonable question" to wonder why the attorney general would work with Trump in the decision to fire him — in light of Trump's own assertion that he had Russia in mind when making the call.
Comey, in his testimony, said he did ask Sessions one thing after what the then-FBI director viewed as an uncomfortable one-on-one meeting with Trump in February: To not leave him alone with the president.
Pressed on Sessions' reaction to his request for protection from Trump later in the hearing, Comey said that he couldn't recall the attorney general's precise response ― other than body language that gave him a "what am I going to do?" vibe.
"He didn't say anything," Comey said of Sessions.
Thursday evening, Justice Department spokesman Ian Prior issued a lengthy statement saying the sole reason Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation were his close ties to the Trump campaign as an adviser. And he disputed Comey's testimony that Sessions didn't say a thing after the FBI director asked to be insulated from the White House.
"The Attorney General was not silent; he responded to this comment by saying that the FBI and Department of Justice needed to be careful about following appropriate policies regarding contacts with the White House," Prior said.
And yet Trump's overtures to Comey continued ― contacts that flew in the face of White House counsel Don McGahn's own advice to route all internal communications about pending investigations through the Justice Department.
Faiza Patel, who co-leads the Brennan Center for Justice's Liberty and National Security Program, characterized Sessions as a "wimp" on Twitter over his apparent inability to shield Comey from inappropriate contacts with the president.
"At that point it seems to me that it's the attorney general's responsibility to do something about that," she said later in an interview with HuffPost. She added that it's "critical to the integrity and the reputation of the FBI" to protect the bureau from undue political influences.
Sessions' recusal from the Russia probe reportedly hurt the attorney general's standing with the president, who as of this week was being advised to not get rid of Sessions out of concerns that the dismissal might yet again eclipse the White House agenda.
"That's the advice he's been given. But he might not listen to that advice," one source close to the White House told Reuters on Wednesday.
Once Trump learns that there may be more to Sessions' entanglements with the Russia investigation, he may yet again conclude that one of his most ardent loyalists during the 2016 campaign is not worth keeping around in his orbit for much longer.

- 1.) Raising a respectful, responsible child
Raising children is hard, there is no doubt about that. All parents want their children to grow into responsible and respectful contributors to society. In order to ensure that your child grows with these characteristics, it's important to start instilling respect and responsibility at a young age.
First, begin by holding your child accountable for daily tasks and chores:
- – putting belongings away (shoes, coat, etc)
- – placing dirty laundry in the hamper
- – trash and recycling chores
- – simple cleaning tasks
- – keeping bedrooms and play rooms neat and tidy
- – use calendars and to-do lists to teach children time management and responsibility
Respect includes taking someone's feelings, needs, thoughts, ideas, wishes and preferences into consideration. It means taking all of these seriously and giving them worth and value. Being respectful includes valuing another person's thoughts and feelings. It also includes acknowledging, listening, being truthful, and accepting others. To instill these qualities in children, parents can:
- – Ensure they speak to children with care and warmth
- – Validate a child's feelings and opinions
- – Act respectfully toward their children
2.) Dealing with Challenging Behaviors
- Too often, when a child begins to exhibit emotional or behavioral problems, parents find it hard to speak up. If you suspect your child has a mental illness, such as depression or anxiety, don't be afraid to ask for a second opinion.
- Talk to your child's doctor and teachers to see if they have noticed any of the behaviors that concern you or if they've seen any difference in your child. There are many services available to you and your child.
- Always remember that all behavior has meaning. If your child exhibits challenging behavior, consider what skills your child might be lacking. What is the reason for the behavior? What happens before and after the behavior? Is this a recurring instance?
- 3.) Raising a healthy child
All parents are concerned about their child's nutrition. We've all seen the sad statistics regarding childhood obesity and the associated long term health issues. Many have also put the fast food industry squarely in the cross hairs. Ultimately, parents have to take responsibility for what their children eat. Here are some quick and easy tips to raising a healthy child with a well-balanced diet:
- – Just one fast food meal per week: It should be less, but let's start with one. Then, if needed, make this a special occasion type of occurrence.
- – No processed sugar at breakfast: Fruits, grains, dairy and some pure fruit juice instead.
- – Make your child's lunch with your own hands: A sandwich, carrot sticks, apple or orange will do fine.
- – No soda and processed juices: Soda should go back to once-in-a-while status, like fast food.
- 4.) Forming Friendships
- Do you know your child's friends? If you haven't done so yet, express an interest in them — let your child know you feel friendships are important and worth the effort.
- Respect your child's social style — some need a lot of friends, some want a few close friends, others make friends quickly, while some need time to warm up. Be supportive and flexible and help your child make time in life for friends — it's a gift that will reward the both of you for a lifetime!
- 5.) School Success
All parents want their children to be successful in school, but this is sometimes easier said than done. Success in school can be challenging. We know that children tend to do the same things as their parents do. What we say and do in our daily lives can help them to develop positive attitudes toward school and learning and to build confidence in themselves as learners. Showing our children that we both value education and use it in our daily lives provides them with powerful models and contributes greatly to their success in school. Here are some tips that will help you and your child get set off on the right foot:
- – Encourage your child to read
- – Talk with your child on a regular basis – talking and listening are important to your child's success.
- – Monitor and engage in the homework process
- – Limit TV and screen time
- – Visit the library with your child
- – Help your child how to use the internet properly
- – Encourage your child to be responsible and work independently
- – Be involved in school events
- – Communicate regularly with your child's teacher

- Costco has discussed building a video-streaming service geared towards "average Americans," according to a CNBC report.
- Mark Greenberg, a TV industry veteran, reportedly held talks with Costco about the streaming service. Greenberg was previously working with Walmart to create a similar service, but talks reportedly fell apart last year.
- Amazon has used its streaming service to build customer loyalty, but critics say that the e-commerce giant and Netflix ignore conservative and Middle American perspectives.
Costco is reportedly considering creating a streaming service aimed at "average Americans."
Mark Greenberg, a TV industry veteran most recently linked to Walmart, held talks with Costco about "building out a service geared toward average Americans," according to a CNBC report published Thursday. A person familiar with the matter told CNBC that no agreement had been reached.
This is the second report that Costco is considering entering the video-streaming space. In October, The Information reported that the retailer had conducted preliminary discussions about adding a video-streaming service as a perk for certain customers.
In July 2018, the Wall Street Journal reported Greenberg was working with Walmart to create a subscription video-streaming service that could rival Netflix and Amazon. In October, a Walmart spokesperson said the company planned to licence videos aimed at the company's "core middle- and low-income shoppers in rural and suburban communities, a demographic Walmart believes is underserved by current streaming services."

However, CNBC reports that Walmart no longer has plans to create the streaming service aimed at these "underserved" demographics. The company will reportedly focus on expanding what's available on Vudu, the streaming service Walmart acquired in 2010, after talks with Greenberg fell apart in 2018.
Greenberg has held talks with Costco and other retailers about building out a service aimed at "average Americans," according to CNBC. Costco and Walmart did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.
Amazon and Netflix have found critical success with shows such as "The Marvellous Mrs. Maisel," "Orange Is the New Black," and "Stranger Things." Amazon has also used its Prime Video service to convince subscribers to become more loyal shoppers.
However, both Amazon and Netflix have been criticised by some conservatives for what they see as a liberal bias.Some Netflix users threatened to cancel their subscriptions after the company announced a multi-year deal with the Obamas. And, Amazon and its CEO Jeff Bezos have been frequent targets of conservative criticism, including from President Donald Trump.
Conservatives have argued that the entertainment industry tends to emphasise progressive perspectives to the detriment of the right. The lack of shows focused on poor and working-class families has also been criticised.
