The 2-Minute Rule for PBN LinksIn the event you Keep to the actions stated above, your links will search pure to Google and not throw up any crimson flags.
Now not surprisingly, this isn't the first time Google have attempted to come up with a tactic irrelevant and scare individuals from carrying out it. There are already quite a few examples of this sort of thing in recent years. This wouldn't be ViperChill if I didn't protect all angles, so let's take a look at a few examples, shall we?
The truth is, I bought some very recently to get a new internet site I'm engaged on. Again, for no other motive than paid links still operate and they are very difficult for Google to detect, it doesn't matter what they want you to definitely Believe.
I've asked Google but they are not confirming or denying any update all around this, which is common of their conduct close to algorithm updates these days like types focusing on black hat techniques.
We built close to one hundred web pages this week and managed to receive around seventy five indexed in the 1st several mins. The remaining twenty five remain using a while for getting indexed. If anything, issues are just Functioning slower today and you also demand a lot more persistence than prior to.
two. A network can maintain you forward in the curve. In a very January weblog put up I showed that myself along with other members of my forum have been amid the primary to notice Google's first major algorithm modify of 2014. The only real individuals that discovered them (superior and lousy) were being house owners of private hyperlink networks.
All of their rankings depend closely on guest submitting. Without it, they wouldn't be accomplishing even ten% in the traffic I guess they're undertaking right now. And you guessed it, Visitor Submitting for Search engine optimization receives equally as poor a rap given that the former two practices I've just mentioned
Personally I would under no circumstances advocate any strategy that might be wiped out right away as your primary supply of revenue. Whether or not that be Website positioning
In case you haven't been totally place off the prospect of constructing your own private network and need to get started on or Possess a community already you need to shield just as much as feasible, Here are a few classes to remember. Don't Install The newest Fads in PBN Software (e.g. CloudPBN)
The subsequent step can be to be sure that your permalinks are optimized for SEO. By default, WordPress has your options put in place so the hyperlink to the post/page seems like
Defend your Whois info – this tends to stop people today seeking into you by way of a provider like Domaintools
Your PBN is not an excuse for just a fifty percent-hearted try in a blog site. It should be helpful to its readers, and will command click for source authority on the subject keyword phrases. "How do I make my Site seem like a reputable higher authority website?"
As long as These terrible fellas with their private backlink networks are receiving Bonuses hit, Permit's leave that other things for an additional calendar year More Bonuses eh, Google?
That isn't to convey it won't take place. I'm not naive ample to think I'm smarter than Google, but unquestionably very little which has occurred this week has made me additional nervous than at every other time increase my community.

We've got songs about hooking up, breaking up, missing past loves, yearning for new loves, celebrating life…it may sound trite but it's the stuff of life, exactly what PG Wodehouse wrote about incessantly for 60 years (admittedly MUCH funnier) – these seemingly simple subjects are the essence of what humans feel most passionately about, it's generally what stimulates the life spirit, so there ya go. Pop music.
These 11 songs have been kicked around and changed several times over the past few years, for better or worse….and along the way music has changed, and the music industry has changed, and inevitably a certain sense of reconsideration and reevaluation takes place, and yes this creates a bit of indecision and delay. Anyway we finally committed to these versions, please have a preview listen here:
Confection finally release new music after a long 4 year break, 3 versions of new single "Save Your Precious Time" are available now (1/8/11) on Juno Downloads

Our second scholarship winner this year is Malaysian practitioner Carrey Oliver. Carrey is a quite extraordinary man who has devoted his life to teaching and learning, and who has a particular interest in metaphysics, sound healing, music and the teaching of voice.
Carrey was originally trained in classical singing by Baritone Master Vocalist Leonard Yap Hon Leng, for whom Carrey later worked as a choral assistant, then in 2006 he became conductor and coach for the Suara Bayu Choral Group who have been very successful, winning a state championship against 14 other choirs and going on to represent their state at national level. Carrey's particular interest is in choral singing and arranging, but he knows that if he is to take cutting-edge contemporary technique into his community as he very much wants to, this scholarship – otherwise completely unaffordable – will bring him the training that he needs to teach confidently.
Carrey has both a doctorate and a master's degree in metaphysics, which was something that caught our eye on his application, as his Master's thesis was entitled "Experience Mysticism and Healing Through Sound". As you may be aware, sound healing and metaphysics are subjects very close to Steve Balsamo's heart, and this was one of the many factors which made Carrey's application stand out in a very strong field.
Among many other projects, Carrey currently runs a music centre with a friend, where their focus is to bring affordable music and voice lessons to the community, in a locality where wages can be as low as £166 per month. He also does a good deal of pro bono work and is intent on using his scholarship training to benefit the community as a whole.
Good luck Carrey!

Never Underestimate the Chance Exchange
It never ceases to amaze me how a chance meeting with a stranger can change the course of ones life.
Within this photo is the image of one such person, one such meeting.
My husband and I were in the south of France on a painting trip when we happened to meet someone who had a message that shifted the paradigm that I was operating from at the time. I was of the belief that artists struggle to survive, that there are limits to what they can accomplish unless they meet 'lady luck' and that their life is more or less a very solitary one if they want to get good at their craft. My paradigm shift occurred when this fellow artist, unknown to me at the time, said a few simple words. "Get involved with other artists. Find artists at your level of expertise or better and critique each others work. The benefits of doing this will propel your work forward."
I wouldn't be surprised if this fellow artist doesn't even remember saying this to me but I sure am glad she did. Since that day, I have joined groups and quit groups. I have found that I love hanging with other artists…they are interesting, intelligent and resourceful. Through meeting them I have realized that solitary is the last thing you want to be, that the only limits to your accomplishments are what you put on yourself. I have also learned that struggling is different than working hard. As I have said in previous posts, you have to put in the time to get better at what you do. I wonder how many artists confuse struggle with hard work.
I have a great group of artists that I see on and off now. We are actually having a studio tour in October which will be a lot of fun. Our website for the tour is http://www.whiterockstudiotour.com (feel free to check it out) . We haven't gotten around to the critiques but maybe that will be part of our future, who knows.
Since this chance meeting I have worked hard, started teaching, become more involved in art in the community and had a lot more fun.
My advice to everyone; keep your eyes and ears open, as well as your heart. Never take for granted a single encounter/chance exchange. And, never stop 'being out there' for others as you may just have an important message for them!

Periodicities in 3D transient magnetics
padde1909 posted a topic in Altair FluxHello, I would like to use periodicities for a toroidal core in Flux3D transient magnetics (12.3). I have set up a simple example with a non-linear steel core and a non-meshed coil. The periodicity is set to cyclic conditions but somehow the magnetic flux won't concentrate in the steel region. I tried the full model with the same geometry and it looks fine, the flux is concentrated inside the steel region. So there must be a problem with the boundary or the periodicity. How do I have to set up the boundaries/periodicities/formulations to get to correct results? Thanks in advance. Best regards Patrick 3d_core_periodicity_solved.FLU.zip
Periodicity Errors in 3D
vasu_srivastava posted a topic in Altair FluxHi, I have been working in flux 2d for the past two months. I am now trying to shift to 3d models to explore acoustics and thermal aspects of the induction motor model. I'm using the induction motor overlay and mesh using the mesh domain command with some changes in the aided mesh. I have received the following error message: The PERIODICITY PeriodicityNumberZaxis can not be taken into account Faces of the constraints without reference face: 234 1686 317 502 1386 1389 2063 2014 1489 1700 1753 1854 777 1172 830 1154 1158 865 use the LINKED mesh generator I had encountered similar errors in the 2D modeling as well which used to get solved using a linked mesh line. I tried the same method using the mesh generator and linked the above faces, but it isn't working. I also tried the method of using a complete infinite box which also didn't work. On checking the mesh I received the message attached below which divided the faces into three groups. So I tried applying three different mesh generators and linked each of the three groups separately, which again resulted in the same periodicity error. Also on using the mesh generator I get the message that the faces 1382 and 1686 are linked to themselves. Also how do you set individual faces or volumes that were set as invisible back to visible? Thank you for any time and effort put into helping me out in advance.
The error code that I get executing "check physics" is: The lines :64 65 124 125 of the plan of periodicity have no linked discretisation. The mesh periodicity is not assured. The PERIODICITY PeriodicityNumberZaxis can not be taken into account Lines of the constraint without reference line: To obtain the same line mesh on lines, you may use a LINKED MESH_LINE I'm designing a quarter of a motor. The lines 64, 65, 124 and 125 correspond to the ones on the vertical axis. I'm using the periodicity setting to create the other quarters of the motor so that I get a full one. I've set Repetition number to 4, Offset to 0 and Odd periodicity. The mesh is automatically created with Mesh Faces. It has surface element with 98% of excelent quality and 2% of good. Checking the geometry doesn't give any errors. However I'm concerned that using cartesian and cilindrical coordinate systems on the same geometry may cause this error code. What do you think? I've tried creating a Linked Mesh Line. However It asks me to introduce a transformation that will define that Mesh Line, but I'm using a periodicity so it doesn't appear on the transformations menu. What can I do now? Thanks

When examining a response from a HTTP request, what do you do if it contains binary information?
You can examine the Response tab, but it will also contain binary data information.
What if we just want to just to view the contents on the far right column in a readable format?
One technique would be to copy the entire response into a text editor such as Notepad++. Then you can use the column selection (shift + alt) to remove the binary information.
Then you can do a Find and Replace and remove all the line breaks. In Notepad ++, replace "\r\n" with nothing. Be sure you select the Extended Search Mode.
Now you have the information in a readable format.

One is for curls and the other a "messy bun". I have tried the bun and although I have EXTREMELY thick hair that resists bobby pins, it actually looked pretty cute.

Failure, ridicule, change, public speaking, spiders, heights, overwhelmness… are all reasons of fear. But, why do we fear? What is it that triggers this emotion and what could be the worst possible outcome? Are we exagerating a bit, maybe? If so, wouldn't it be more logical to be afraid of fear, or of not being able to overcome our fears?
Apart from the common things that trigger fear, I have recently found myself at a point where, the idea of not being able to control my emotions and overcome those negative thoughts frightened me.
I had started to envision a life surrounded by fears, with no chance of ever living peacefully, because I kept on projecting negative emotions which only contributed to feeding my anxiety. The only things I missed on doing was to live in the present, as fear is all about the past and the future.
I am the amplifier type of person. In every little thing I see a red spark on the verge of bursting into fire. That is the long-waited moment for fear to take its seat in my mind, and make my imagination go crazily through all worst possible scenarios.
I become agitated, my mind can't focus, I start to ramble and tackle things in an illogical manner, my heart is pounding, nightmares won't let me rest. And at the end of this hazard, I feel exhausted. Nothing has actually happened, except for my going crazy.
By the time everything is over, I realize it wasn't even close to what I had imagined. As such, overcoming our fears consists of 3 main phases, the way I see it.
Acknowledge and understand fear
I learnt over time that fear is normal, is part of life, of me and you, and nothing can make it go away. Not even our resistance towards it, which is why the simplest thing to do is to accept it. Fear is just an emotion and it cannot hurt us unless we allow it to.
So, instead of struggling to get rid of it, focus on ways to overcome your fears, and leave them behind. Make a list with the things you are most afraid of and see what triggers them. Work on solving those issues rather than avoiding them. Focus on the solutions, not the problems, with consistency and conviction.
Think and act positive
When something is about to happen, that we fear, uncertain of the outcome, normally we start asking ourselves "What could go wrong?", thinking this might cool us down. But then, a series of unimaginable negative events flood our thoughts, making us more nervous than before.
Why not, instead, asking this in a positive manner: "What could go great?". Thus, instead of projecting negative emotions, you start building your confidence, which will boost your performance, which will lead you to success. Doesn't that look awesome?
Visualise the outcome
Fear is never healthy for our brains. It is, in fact, like a little poison that deteriorates you from the inside out, a little bit every time you activate it. Fear is a natural humane expression, that won't become extinct just because we want so. It is there and it will remain in place. But, the way we choose to overcome our fears is a mindset.
So you might find it helpful to visualize your outcome. Imagine what would it be like to reach your goals, without thinking of failure or obstacles you might encounter on the way. Project your emotions with confidence and assurance, but always keep them positive!
By doing that, it doesn't mean you are too arogant or too certain, but that you have the power and the courage to overcome your fear. If you are able to put so much infringement on yourself that you could almost shed a tear, than why wouldn't the opposite be valid?
Fear is only a limiting constraint that we put ahead of our dreams.

U.S. President Donald Trump has said that withdrawing American troops from South Korea was not on the agenda of his summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in Vietnamese capital later this month, local media reported.
"No, it's not. That [troop withdrawal] is not one of the things on the table," Trump told reporters on Friday when asked if he would consider withdrawing some of the 28,500 troops from South Korea.
His remarks came a few days after phone call with his South Korean counterpart in which the duo discussed the Hanoi Summit set for Feb. 27 and 28.
During the phone conversation held on Feb. 19, South Korean President Moon Jae-in praised Trump for "peace-making efforts" with North Korea, a statement by the Korean presidency said.
The statement said that Moon praised Trump's "ongoing novel, bold diplomatic endeavors for the sake of peace on the Korean Peninsula".
"[I] expect the summit slated for next week in Hanoi to become a critical turning point that adds substance to agreements reached at the historic Singapore summit last June, which aimed to complete denuclearization, establish a peace regime on the Korean Peninsula and advance North Korea-U.S. relations," the statement quoted Moon as having told Trump during the 35-minute phone call.
Trump and Kim are set to take forward the discussions on denuclearization and lifting of UN sanction on Pyongyang held during historic Singapore summit last June.
The statement quoted Moon as saying that South Korea can also play a role "in corresponding measures aimed at encouraging North Korea to take denuclearization steps".
The South Korean president said that his government was determined to take on any role "should President Trump make a request, anything ranging from the connection of railroads and roads between the South and North to inter-Korean economic cooperation projects".
"This would be a way to lessen burdens on the United States," he added.
Moon said that it was because of "Trump's unwavering resolve" that "difficult negotiations with North Korea have made headway up to this point".
"Significant progress in inter-Korean relations is also attributable to your strong endorsement," Moon told Trump over the phone call.
He noted over the past 25 years, numerous negotiations have failed to produce results, which only allowed the North to strengthen its nuclear and missile capabilities.
"You are now striving to overcome these unsuccessful diplomatic endeavors and seek a new diplomatic strategy for denuclearization and the establishment of permanent peace on the Korean Peninsula," Moon told the U.S. president.
The statement said that Trump briefed Moon on the current state of preparations for the Hanoi Summit and the developments in negotiations with North Korea.
"The two leaders had extensive, in-depth discussions on concrete measures for cooperation to ensure the success of the upcoming second North Korea-U.S. summit," it added.

We're seeing the rental car industry collapse as more Americans choose to zip around cities they visit with ridesharing services.
As business travelers and tourists skip the car rental line in favor of Uber and Lyft, big players in the car rental industry are imploding and facing the wrath of Wall Street investors.
Sudden change
The shift among travelers has been so sudden that big players in the car rental industry have yet to change their business model. Rental car companies have continued to purchase cars at historic levels, doubling down on their old business strategy just as demand dropped dramatically.
Corporate ground transportation spending, a massive source of business, in the span of two years has shifted to ridesharing. Mind you, these statistics don't capture the changing habits of leisure travelers, which are also undergoing the same seismic shift.
Car rental companies left holding the bag
The car rental industry underwent a dizzying amount of mergers in recent years, leaving three large companies controlling more than 90 percent of the market. You'll see almost every name brand is owned by one of the giant companies. The illusion of choice in the industry is evident, as Hertz owns Thrifty and Dollar, Avis-Budget owns Zipcar and Payless, and Enterprise owns National and Alamo.
These mergers were completed in an attempt to corner the market and raise prices, just like the airline industry did in recent years. Much to the chagrin of the corporate titans who thought they had positioned themselves for profitable dominance, the rideshare industry came along and decimated their market share.
Sitting on a debt bomb
These rental car companies own an absurd amount of cars and are on the hook for billions of dollars in debt. Beyond not being able to meet their debt obligations because they've lost their business to ridesharing, car rental companies face yet another problem.
Many analysts are predicting a used car price crash in the near future. That means that the millions of cars that these companies own could decline suddenly in price, leaving them in the perilous position of owing money on cars that have become severely depreciated.
The bottom line is that the outlook for car rental industry is dim, as the car industry appears to be facing some serious headwinds itself.
Takeaway: Disruption is here to stay
The rental car industry is yet another tale of the massive disruption occurring in today's digital economy. Given that millennials are now the largest living generation in America, it's no surprise that the car rental industry is imploding.
Young people aren't interested in driving, parking or dealing with scammy tactics at the rental counter. Our parents were ripped off for decades (largely through unnecessary insurance plans) and we'd rather have a stranger come fetch us on demand through ridesharing. Ridesharing is cheaper, faster and more convenient than the old, tired business model of renting cars at the airport.
As for the certain doom that the car rental industry faces, no one will cry a river for the fortunes that are being lost. It's part of market capitalism, as disruption is crushing industries across the board. In the end, ridesharing has been a boon for the consumer, and we all benefit from technological advancement.
Be on the lookout for other industries to meet their fate in the coming years as technology brings giant companies to their knees.

Integral to Safety + Property Protection
Fire and life safety are pivotal considerations in today's building designs. The integration of fire alarm systems, fire protection, life safety, and other fire protection systems into the design of all building types is essential for safety, property protection and code compliance. As leaders among fire and life safety consultants, we're actively involved in the development process for many of the fire protection system codes and standards. This knowledge and experience allows us to prepare accurate, cost effective, state-of-the-art fire protection fire and life system designs.
In a fire or emergency, a well-designed fire alarm system is the cornerstone of your fire protection strategy. Working with building owners, designers, and architects, we determine system performance requirements, produce detailed fire alarm design drawings and documents, perform manufacturer specific calculations, and evaluate the installation of your systems.
Extinguishing or controlling a fire quickly can help prevent catastrophic fire damage. Our fire protection engineers can determine system performance requirements, evaluate water supply systems, perform hydraulic calculations, and assess code compliance.
Smoke exposure is a primary concern during fire events. We develop smoke computer models to predict the movement of hot smoke and toxic gas through a building. Using these models, system performance can be refined and optimized prior to the procurement and installation of equipment, often resulting in substantial cost savings.

I also wish that Bishop Williamson's head would explode, and I am not a violent guy. See if you can even watch the whole clip, which was broadcast this January. It took me several attempts.
I think I really need to go cry. I know that Pope Benedict needs to remove him as quickly as possible, and I hope the Vatican truly was unaware of Williamson's beliefs. This is a good start.
7 Comments so far

First of all, Bishop Williamson was excommunicated from the Catholic Church by John Paul II because he was a breakaway bishop ordained by a French bishop who rejected the reforms of Vatican II. So excommunication is not the issue here. Benedict XVI, who should have been aware of Williamson's beliefs, was just offering the guy the privilege of returning to the fold by lifting the ban of excommunication. Secondly the guy is just creepy. Notice how he made very little eye contact with his interviewer. I hope Benedict washes his hands of him.
[…] That last post really left me feeling a bit drained emotionally. Actually that was mostly due to the comments from jonolan. Reading Thomas Aquinas' Treatise on the Virtues just became impossible (or so […]

Release Date: Oct 2, 2015
Record label: Universal Music
Genre(s): Pop/Rock, Alternative/Indie Rock, Alternative Pop/Rock, Garage Punk, Hard Rock
They kept us waiting a fashionable seven years, but Josh Homme and Jesse Hughes have arrived, leather-clad, hot-fleshed and ready to rock'n'roll. The Eagles of Death Metal are back. On their fourth studio LP, the Eagles hork up another fast-paced spitball akin to their previous releases, Death by Sexy and Peace, Love, Death Metal.
Eagles Of Death Metal are the men your mother warned you about. Vocalist Jesse Hughes is an ordained minister who dates former porn star Tuesday Cross and regularly espouses his fondness of drugs. Drummer Josh Homme is a sensual man mountain and tattooed rock god who fronts Queens Of The Stone Age. That the pair have stretched the sound of them making each other laugh in a studio out to four albums is an impressive feat.
It's been over 15 years since childhood friends Joshua Homme and Jesse "the Devil" Hughes founded their cartoonish, carnal blues-rock project, Eagles of Death Metal. When Homme's not manning the drum kit or the mixing board for Eagles (he's produced each one of their LPs) he fronts Queens of the Stone Age, one of the biggest hard rock bands on the planet. So it makes sense that listeners would categorize the group as a Queens of the Stone Age side project.
When Eagles of Death Metal released their debut album in 2004, the garage rockers weren't under any obligation to have a total of four albums to their (excellent) name a decade later. Frontman Jesse Hughes and the considerably more famous Josh Homme were longtime friends who wanted to make music together, which they did without delusions of grandeur. Zipper Down is the band's first album in seven years, which is strange considering their beginnings: That debut, Peace Love Death Metal, was recorded in three days, and the band's second and third albums came in '06 and '08, by which point they were a fixture in modern, back-to-basics rock.
The brainchild of Jesse Hughes and his redheaded counterpart, Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme, Zipper Down is the the follow-up to 2008's Heart On. Hughes and Homme co-wrote each and every song on the record (apart from one cover) and performed all vocals and instrumentation themselves, with Homme also back in the producer's chair. The album artwork features the shapely body of a woman, from shoulders to thighs, wearing black leather jeans whilst throwing the rock horns over her crotch and a black leather jacket – zipper down, of course – exposing her breasts, with Hughes and Homme's faces acting as pasties over her areolae.
Review Summary: Jesse still wants your women...The Eagles Of Death Metal have never been a band to open new musical doors or push any boundaries. They were always a guilty pleasure to blast at some party or witness live. The sleazy redneck outings that made up most of their first two records, plus that lo-fi/single take feel was perfect for the bare bones tracks.
What do we know about Jesse Hughes?On the surface, he's the cock-swinging, heavy drinking leader from Eagles of Death Metal. He loves his women and his whiskey. He's a childhood friend of Queens of the Stone Age mastermind Josh Homme. He's also a right wing, gun-toting reverend engaged to a former porn star who sometimes refers to himself as "The Devil.†So there's that.
Boogie-rock revivalists Eagles of Death Metal — a.k.a. high-school buddies Jesse Hughes and Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme — have always been silly and self-aware. With their fourth album, they've reached a critical mass of smirk. On "Silverlake (K.S.O.F.M.)," Hughes lampoons L.A ….
Fourth album from US glam-metal duo. Josh Homme has always maintained that Eagles Of Death Metal are not merely a side project, although it's fair to say they haven't seemed particularly high on his priority list of late.. ADVERTISING inRead invented by Teads.
Cock-rock boogie experts Eagles Of Death Metal have returned after a seven-year absence with Zipper Down. OK, here's the deal: this album will not convert anyone to EoDM, and it's not supposed to. If you like what Jesse Hughes and Josh Homme do, you'll enjoy their new offering. If you don't, Zipper won't change your mind regarding their shtick.
Veteran multitaskers that they are, Jesse Hughes and Josh Homme packed a lot into the seven years between Heart On and Zipper Down. Homme returned to Queens of the Stone Age and started another band, Them Crooked Vultures, with Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones; Hughes became an ordained minister, appeared in a movie with Grace Jones and Iggy Pop, and worked on his solo project, Boots Electric. Perhaps it's not surprising, then, that Zipper Down feels more like the work of a side project than any of the duo's albums since Peace Love Death Metal.

Isle of Dogs musician reaches Live and Unsigned competition final
PUBLISHED: 13:26 14 June 2012 | UPDATED: 15:09 25 June 2012
A musician from the Isle of Dogs has spoken of his pride at reaching the final of the Live and Unsigned competition.
Matt Hodges, 20, is one of 80 talented musicians who fought off 40,000 rivals across four different categories to reach the final of the contest.
Matt will be competing in the acoustic category, which is one of four in the final, to be held at the Proud2 venue in the O2 Arena on Saturday July 14.
Speaking to The Advertiser, he admitted he is nervous at the prospect of competing in the final, but is nevertheless relishing the challenge it will present.
"I'm nervous, but excited at the same time. Most of all, I'm really proud to get to the final, so I'm looking forward to it", he said.
Orignally from Wakefield, West Yorkshire, Matt moved to Burrell Wharf Square in the Isle of Dogs two years ago. He first started playing the drums aged six, and has developed his musical talents ever since, most notably through playing the guitar and piano and singing.
He credits playing regular live gigs in pubs in the East End as being crucial to his development as a musician, and has enjoyed a regular slot for a year and a half at The Ship in Westferry Road.
He said: "It's given me a good following, It's always good to play in a local environment so you get to know your audience, and it means that I've got lots of support in the area now.
"The Ship have helped me sell tickets, and I'm hoping to be able to bring about 100 people along to the final to support me."
The overall winner of the final will receive £10,000 to spend on developing their act, as well as the offer of a UK tour and help in publicising their music and brand.

JR3 Public Affairs Journalism
Are Irish prisons working? Is Ireland's asylum system fit for purpose? Final-year DCU journalism students conducted in-depth investigations into these two major questions in Irish public life. Working with School of Communications Journalist-in-Residence, Ursula Halligan, and Chair of the BA in Journalism, Declan Fahy, students worked in teams to produce a set of original multi-media articles on these pressing, but under-reported, public affairs topics.
Life After Prison: Personal Stories
With a reoffence rate of more than 60 percent in Ireland, prisoners face significant difficulties leading law-abiding lives after they are released. Here are the personal testimonies of two men — one a psychotherapist and one an author and artist — who went against this trend, serving their time and going on to forge productive lives.

Matter is defined as anything that has mass and volume. Anything that has mass also has inertia, that is it takes force to put matter into motion and force must be used to stop its motion.
Matter is classified in a number of ways based on its chemical and physical properties. For example the state; (solid, liquid or gas) matter exists at for particular pressure and temperature are physical properties.
Matter may also be classified based on composition as homogeneous or heterogeneous mixtures or as pure substances; elements or compounds.
Mixtures contain more than one pure substance; any combination of different elements and or compounds.
Elements are pure substances that are all composed of one "kind" of atom i.e. they must be found on the periodic table of elements. Examples: Iron (Fe), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O).
Compounds are pure substances that are composed of 2 or more different elements that are held together by chemical bonds i.e. they must be sharing electrons or are attracted to each other do to charges from the loss and gain of electrons. Examples: water (H2O), table salt (NaCl), sugar (C6H12O6).
There are two major kinds of mixtures heterogeneous mixtures and homogeneous mixtures.
Heterogeneous mixtures contain more than one kind of pure substance which is not uniform on a molecular or atomic level. Usually we can see the mixture is not uniform because the "clumps" of matter are large. Examples are concrete, chocolate chip cookies, soil, and salsa. Sometimes the "chunks" are so small it may appear the mixture is uniform but is not.
Example: Milk is really a Heterogeneous mixture of water, fat droplets and dissolved substances. Liquid Heterogeneous mixtures can be detected using the Tyndall effect.
Physical properties are the properties of a pure substance which can be determined or measured without changing the chemical properties of the substance, that is without changing it from one substance to another.
Examples of Physical Properties are:
Density, solubility, boiling point, condutivity, specific heat, hardness, ductility, mallability, magnetism, color, freezing point.
True mixtures can be separated into their pure substance constituents using physical properties.
Example: a mixture of iron filing and sulfur can be separated using a magnet because iron is magnetic and sulfur is not. Note this separation does not change the chemical nature of the substances.
A mixture of water, alcohol and sugar can be separated using the substances boiling points and differences in solubility. How would you seperate this mixture.
Physical properties are often very useful for the identification of a substance.
Several physical properties often create a unique profile for an individual substance.
Chemical Properties are the properties of a substance that relate to its reactivity with other substances, that is how readily it combines with other substances to make compounds or how readily a compound breaks apart to form different compounds or elements.
Examples of chemical properties are how fammable, corrosive, explosive or reactive a substance is with another chemical.
Chemical reactions often release or require heat, give of light, involve color changes, or involve the release of a gas.
Some important derived physical properties:
Derived physical properties are properties relating two or more extensive properties to create an intensive property.
Extensive properties depend on one of the following: mass, size, temperature, length or volume of a substance.
A derived physical property compares two or more of these to produce a new "constant" extensive property.
Example: Density is the ratio of mass to volume, i.e. mass/volume.
This ratio is now is contant for that substance at a constant temperature and pressure.
Example: The density of water is 1.0grams/mL at 4ºC and 1.0 atmospheres.
What this means is at 4º C and 1.0 atm. of pressure it does not matter whether you have 1.0 qts of water or 1000.0 gal. the density will be 1.0 gram/mL.
Problems with density: The most standard units of density are g/mL which is the same as g/cm3. Therefore when solving density problems our answer should have units of g/mL.
Examples: What is the density of a piece of metal with a mass of 50 grams and has a volume of 12 mL?
Since grams should be our unit on the top and mL the unit on the bottom. 50 will be in the numerator and 12 will be the devisor in the denominator. The answer is 50g/12mL= 4.12g/mL.
Some times we have the density of a substance and want to find its mass or volume. The following problems are examples of those kinds of problems: Try to find the correct answer.
What is the volume of 80.0 g of ether if the density of ether is 0.70 g/mL?
a. 56 mL c. 8.9 x 10-3mL
b. 1.1 x 102mL d. 6.0 x 102mL
What is the mass in grams of a cubic meter of balsa wood if the density of balsa wood is 0.20 g/mL?
a. 2.0 x 10-2g c. 2.0 x 103g
b. 2.0 x 10-1g d. 2.0 x 105g
Concentrated hydrochloric acid has a density of 1.19 g/mL. What is the mass, in grams, of 1.00 liter of this acid?
a. 1.19 x 103g c. 0.840 x 102g
b. 1.19 x 10-3g d. 0.040 x 10-2g
Another important derived physical property is specific heat. Specific heat tells us how much energy is required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance one degree celsius. It is a ratio of energy to mas and change in temperature.
specific heat = energy/mass*temperature.
Again water was used as the standard for specific heat. The amount of energy that is required to raise one gram of water one degree celsius is called the calorie. Most substances have specific heats less than water, therefore less than 1cal/g*ºC.
In fact most metals have specific heats from 0.09-0.3 cal/g*ºC. The standard SI units for specific heat are joules/g*ºC however we will primarily be using cal/g*ºC.
Example problem for specific heat: A piece of gold weighing 35.0 g absorbs 185 J of heat energy when its temperature increases by 410C. What is the specific heat of gold in cal/g*ºC?
Again we think of the units we want in the answer which is cal/g*ºC and we use the information in the problem and arrange exactly the same in our calculation. In this problem we must convert joules to calories.
185J/(35g*41.0ºC)*(1.0cal/4.18 J)=0.031cal/g*ºC
During chemical reactions both mass conserved. That is to say that you always end up with the same amount of matter in the products as you started with. For example if you start with 4.0 grams of hydrogen and 32.0 grams of oxygen and react them together in a chemical reaction you will end up with 36.0 grams of water.
2H2O + O2 --------------> 2H2O 4.0 +32.0 = 36.0 grams of reactants =36.0 grams of product.
The same is true for all non-nuclear reactions. If 224.0 grams of Iron react with 96.0 grams of oxygen 320 grams of iron III oxide will be formed:
4Fe + 3O2 -------------------->2Fe2O3 224.0g + 96.0 g =320 grams of reactants =320 grams of product.
The conservation of energy is not so easy to see because it is being converted from one form of energy to another. In these example cases some of the "chemical energy" , that is the potential energy stored in the bonds of the chemical compounds is being released i.e. converted into heat energy in the same way that when wood burns it reacts with oxygen in the air and chemical energy stored the wood is released as heat and light energy. The first law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed it can only be converted from one form to another.

There are many terms used by marketers to describe automated emails – marketing automation, auto-responders, drip emails, email sequences, and more. Whatever you call your automated emails, BigMailer supports them.
An Automation campaign in BigMailer can be a single email (e.g. a signup confirmation or welcome) or a sequence of emails, that are typically triggered based on something happening to the contact (e.g. subscriber) record or an action performed. In addition to action, an automated email can be triggered with a time delay in hours, days, or weeks, or have no delay.
After the Automation campaign is triggered with the 1st email the future steps in the sequence can be scheduled in 2 ways:
- Relative to the first email, e.g. X days after the same trigger as the 1st email. For example, you can send a welcome email immediately after someone signs up for your newsletter or creates an account, then send weekly emails after 7, 14, 21 days, etc.
- Relative to previous step and/or action taken, e.g. X days after a previous email in the sequence is sent or after a contact opens or clicks on the previous email.
Ready to get started? Here are the steps to setup your Automation campaign.
- Log into your BigMailer account and select a brand you want to create a campaign under. Don't have a BigMailer account? Try out BigMailer with a free account – all accounts start on a Free plan, no credit card required.
- Click on Campaigns tab in the site header, then on "Create Campaign" button.
- Click on "Create" under the Automation section.
Once on the Campaign page you need to give your Automation campaign a name, click on small "rename" tag next to name.
Click on "Add Email" to create your first email step, then click on "Edit" links to define each element of an email – trigger, message type, and segment (optional).
The most typical trigger for a 1st or only step in an Automation campaign is subscriber record being added to a specific list. Tip: Create a List named Test and always test your automation campaigns against that list before finalizing it against customer list.
There are several ways to add contacts to a list:
- Manual import of a csv file.
- A web form that sends data to that list.
- An API call (e.g. to create a contact when someone makes a purchase).
- A Zapier integration (when someone performs an action on a 3rd party platform a record of contact is created at BigMailer)
How to Use Segments in Addition to Triggers
In BigMailer, in addition to triggers available, you can also narrow down your target audience for a given email via custom defined segment. You can use segments to:
- Only send an automated email to customers based on their aggregate engagement with prior campaigns.
- Send an automated email only if a certain field in customer record has a value, e.g. LastPurchase > 30 days.
- Split a certain step in a sequence into multiple versions to customize email content based on certain customer attributes, like interest, gender, or certain interaction with your product, for example offerRedeemed or similar.
Examples of how to use segmentation in addition to triggers:
- Don't send this email/sequence to subscriber based on engagement with other email campaigns or on a certain field value, that can be updated as a result of an action taken with your website or product.
- Send this email IF the value of a certain field is X to send custom content to different segments (a given step can have several versions created for each segment.
Automation Campaign Analytics
Automation campaigns have the same analytics as bulk campaigns, once they are activated and emails are sent. You can see engagement metrics like open and click rates, as well as unsubscribes, bounces, and complaints.
The stats for Automation campaign do NOT reset when an email is modified or moved around in a sequence. So if you want to track performance of a single step in a sequence you may want to pause the step and create a new version to replace it so you can compare engagement stats before/after the changes made.
Examples of Automation Campaigns
1. A single welcome email sent when a new subscriber is added to the list, perhaps with links to best content or info on how often new content will be emailed.
2. A welcome sequence sent X days after signup with valuable content, matching subscriber's interests.
3. A product/service on-boarding email sequence with tips on using a product or advice from experts. This type of sequence can start with an event outside BigMailer and contact record is pushed to BigMailer via an integration.
4. An email or a sequence triggered by a customer interaction with a website or product. For example, if a subscriber visits a specific article they are tagged as interested in a given topic and sent relevant content or promotional emails. To set this up you have to add code to your website to fire an API call to BigMailer to either a) update your customer record with info on the action or interest or b) add that customer to a new List which can trigger an Automation campaign.
Ready to get started? Click on Campaigns tab in the site header, then on "Create Campaign" button and select "Automation" campaign from the list. Don't have a BigMailer account? Try out BigMailer with a free account.

Creating a character in HM4e can be an adventure unto itself. Probably not nearly as smooth or fun as Traveller, but an intriguing experience.
A couple negatives off the bat. Making a character in HM4e is an investment in something that may be lost quickly. Be prepared. It's also convoluted as written and needed errata and clarification.
On a good note, Appendix I has a step by step procedure that is most helpful.
The first four episodes are unnecessary garbage.
Then it does turn into an interesting albeit dogged story. It feels more like the second half of SAO I. They took much of what didn't work in the first series and ran with it, leaving behind the best parts.
Still, after you roll your eyes through four useless episodes it picks up for nine. This story could have been told in three or less so it can be frustrating however it's also touching.
Opening the book and seeing the date 2001 gives me an odd feeling of how that shouldn't seem so long ago and yet the battle of HackMaster does seem well in the past. It's a game that ran its course and veered off in a completely different direction than where it initially travelled. It ended. Debate away.
The inside cover has ads for the GMG, HoB (over 1600 creatures), Quest for the Unknown and Little Keep on the Borderlands.
SAO takes about 5 episodes to get going.
SAO is a Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game and the cartoon is about people playing that game. It touches on Human relationships, action, drama, romance, and how a writer can screw up a good idea.
I loved the novel "Dream Park" which would make you think I'd immediately love SAO but it's just not that good, for five episodes. It lacks the charm, depth and humour evident in Danmachi (Familia Myth/Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?).
I blow the time to restablish contact with the Western U.S. after the game tells me I can't. Vigilo Confido!
I gain three potential target sites. Eastern U.S. to counter the Alien Cypher dark event to gain a scientist; New Mexico to counter the Alloy Padding dark event to gain a Grenadier; Western U.S. to counter a hidden event to gain 84 Intel. The last being the only one that isn't labelled Easy. I take it.
Operation Spider Tomb
Moderate Difficulty
84 Intel Reward
Protect the Device just outside Vancouver
After the mission i realize that I forgot to do my previous promotion so Sheriff takes Quickdraw (firing pistol first doesn't end turn) and I really don't know if it's better than Death From Above; Neptune takes Run and Gun (take action after dashing); Jones takes Deadeye (lower Aim to improve damage) simply because I always take Lightning Hands and want to see if Deadeye will ever come in handy or if it's just a way to miss.
Uranus and Jones recovered from their 'Shaken' status.
Operation Devil's Gift
Rescue VIP from ADVENT Vehicle, Edmonton
This is a rescue mission so I decide on two sharpshooters and no Grenadier.
Cast of Kidnappers:
Sergeant "Sailor" Neptune (Ranger); Sergeant "Sailor" Uranus (Specialist); Knight Number 5 (Spark); Leftenant "Sheriff" Schneider (Sharpshooter); Corporal Jones (Sharpshooter)
Operation Night Fire
Briefing: Supply Line Raid - ADVENT Convoy
Location: Wilderness of Eastern U.S.
Objective: Raid ther Advent Convoy; Neutralize all enemy targets; Secure supplies
Difficulty Moderate
The Troupe:
Cpl Neptune (Ranger), Cpl Arathorn (Ranger), Aspirant 5 (Spark), Cpl Pushkin (Grenadier), Sgt Schneider (Sharpshooter)
I have a number of injured soldiers but still some choices to make for this mission. Two Sharpshooters or two Rangers?
Operation Regal Beast
Location: Abandoned Research Facility
Briefing: Investigation - Unknown Site
Objective: Investigate Vahlen's Signal; Central must survive
Cast of Nitwits:
Aragorn "Son of" Arathorn | Ranger
Spark-001 | Mech
Katya Kazanova | Sniper
Dmitri "Rocket Red" Pushkin | Grenadier
John "Central" Bradford | Pincushion
Some blah blah explanation and signal stuff I never listen to. Probably why I don't know the storyline.

Heirlooms: Stories (Paperback)
Staff Reviews
You know that feeling when you pick up a book and start reading and quickly understand that you've found a journey you didn't know you needed? That's how I felt reading Rachel Hall's debut collection of interconnected stories. She invites us into a Jewish family, before and after the Holocaust, in France and Israel and the United States. Quietly and lyrically, Hall explores the profound ties immigrants feel to our past, our losses, our dreams, and each other.
— From Ellen's Picks
Winner of the G. S. Sharat Chandra Prize for Short Fiction, selected by Marge Piercy. HEIRLOOMS begins in the French seaside city of Saint-Malo, in 1939, and ends in the American Midwest in 1989. In these linked stories, the war reverberates through four generations of a Jewish family. Inspired by the author's family stories as well as extensive research, HEIRLOOMS explores assumptions about love, duty, memory and truth.

Some current or former Subway managers in Lubbock can expect back-pay from a franchise owner.
The U.S. Department of Labor found Shiprock Enterprise and Junior Senior Inc. will have to pay nearly $80,000 in back wages and liquidated damages. It will go to 52 employees for violating overtime requirements.
Investigators found the two Subway locations on East Slaton Road and Frankford Avenue made deductions from salaried manager pay when they worked less than a full day.
The restaurants claimed an exemption from the overtime requirements but didn't provide a guaranteed salary, one of the requirements for the exemption.
An investigation found most managers worked between 55 and 60 hours a week.

Walking Alongside Them
Just as despair can come to one another only from other human beings, hope, too, can be given to one only by other human beings. – Elie Wiesel
Ten years as a Bridge Communities mentor has taught Hinsdale resident Mary MacKenzie that the most important part of mentoring is making sure people know that they are not alone.
She understands that this role requires both a financial and emotional pledge. It also requires a great deal of time. Currently, Mary and a friend are walking alongside Mary's fourth client through a community group at Christ Church of Oak Brook.
As part of the Bridge Communities program, each client family is paired with a mentor team for the duration of their participation in the Bridge program. Although it helps reinforce the respectful nature of the relationship, the term "client" sounds brazenly indifferent when contrasted against the tone of deep empathy and love with which mentors, like Mary, speak of the families. "I've always had moms," Mary mentions as she fondly describes her four clients, "They're great people who just need some help."
Meetings, phone calls, and crisis interventions are the true work of a mentor like Mary. "It's mostly just being there for the client… Letting them know that they can depend on you."
Knowing that they have support empowers clients to change their lives. At the end of two years, most clients have graduated from the program. That is what Mary says is the greatest reward: "seeing them continue on and becoming successful."
Mary described one of those amazing moments. She says "one of the highs of being a mentor" was watching her second client purchase a condo in the complex. "She burst out sobbing, realizing she'd be able to own it. I just held her and told her, 'You deserve it.' And that's what Bridge does for people."
For Mary, being a mentor is a rewarding and a surprising path, but it is not one without challenges. Mary knows, though, that if ever an obstacle may arise, she has Bridge Communities to look to. "They're always there," Mary says confidently, "to back us up and to give us advice."
Overcoming obstacles together is the most transformative part of the mentor-client relationship. Mary remembers experiencing such a change as she accompanied a client to the food pantry for the first time. "It was such an eye opener to me as to what it means to people to take charity. I think at that moment, I was changed… more caring, more compassionate. One of those situations I'll just never forget."
