Some Do's and Don'ts of Bulk SMS Service
- Always include Call to Action – Call to Action (CTA) is the focal point of a message and the absence of it makes the text look vague and incomplete. CTA can be anything like a website link, mobile number or a phrase like Buy 1 Get 1 Free.
- Be brief – Try to keep your message short and simple to gain the maximum visibility out of your SMS marketing campaign. The ideal length of an SMS is 160 characters. Use catchy phrases to make it impressive and make it concise to foster better customer engagement.
- Send SMS at appropriate timing – As Bulk SMS is read within few seconds of being delivered; timing plays a very crucial role in the success of a SMS campaign. Avoid sending SMS at inappropriate timings where customers might not read your content.
- Don't text too frequently – Texting your customers too frequently can result in customer attrition rate and it is likely that your clients may opt out from your subscription list. Hence, try to maintain a balance in sending messages and deliver only valuable and relevant information.
- Don't send SMS containing jargon words and abbreviations – If you use too many jargon in your messages, it might confuse your recipients and they may not understand the meaning of the message. Texting abbreviations are risky to use in communicating with your clients. Thus, try to use words which are familiar to your intended audience.

As Mark Connolly, UNICEF's former representative in Jamaica once put it, "Paper reaching parliament does not change the life of a child. Action does." That's why UNICEF is partnering with the Digicel Jamaica Foundation and the Jamaica Council for Persons with Disabilities (JCPD). Together we want to ensure the full implementation of the Disability Act (2014) and reduce the risk of children with disabilities being left behind.
A credit to Jamaica is that in 2007 this country became the first in the world to sign the United Nations' Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). But domestically progress has been 'inch-by-inch' admits JCPD Executive Director Christine Hendricks, but she's optimistic that progress is now being made. The JCPD is as an agency of the Ministry of the Labour and Social Security, which is backing the initiative.
Progress made, more to be done
"We want to hit the ground running because we know the value of identifying these children first of all," says Hendricks. "Persons are recognising that persons with disabilities have value and they can make a contribution. If we start with them from childhood, it will give them a better start to move forward."
The two-year project will strive to ensure that more children are registered with the JCPD. Better data collection and diagnosis should then see more children given appropriate assistance across all government services from education to health.
The Disabilities Act was drafted to protect all persons with disabilities.

— Digicel Jamaica (@DIGICELJamaica) June 14, 2017
The Statistical Institute of Jamaica (STATIN) has 580,000 persons registered as disabled in Jamaica. Currently, however, just 30,000 of them are registered with the JCPD, of whom 5,000 are children. Together we hope to both increase opportunities for disabled children but also to reduce incidents such as the tragedy of a deaf child who died in hospital care.
Ensure children with disabilities are heard
"Unfortunately, the healthcare provider thought that he was fussing and tied him up," recounts Digicel Jamaica Foundation CEO, Dane Richardson: Eventually he passed away. And can you imagine what that child must have been going through, not being able to communicate? I keep telling that story because it's important and to know that it happened and to ensure that it never happens again to anyone."
Going beyond the data collection, UNICEF Education Specialist Rebecca Tortello explains: "The partnership will support efforts to focus more on better promoting skills training and coordinating the school to work transition of youth with disabilities. This is an area in which Jamaica has made some progress but also one in which we have a long way to go."
National awareness campaign planned
A media campaign will also be launched about the rights of persons with disabilities to increase understanding and awareness. Collectively this work is also intended to strengthen the capacity of the recently formed umbrella advocacy organization, Jamaica Empowerment Partnership for PWDs (JEPP). The Digicel Jamaica Foundation and the JCPD are both JEPP members.
For UNICEF our involvement will build upon recent work supporting the development of a curriculum for children with moderate to severe learning disabilities; as well as supporting unified sports; and healthy athlete screening support for Special Olympics Jamaica.

Bake Off Star In 'Fix Controversy' After Fans Make Discovery Online
The Great British Bake Off only returned to our screens on Tuesday but the show is already embroiled in a 'fix controversy'.
It surrounds the first episode's 'Star Baker' Steven Carter-Bailey who even received the much acclaimed 'Hollywood Handshake' in the first round for his Bonfire Night inspired sponge cake.
The popular show sees the country's best amateur bakers compete against each other but Steven isn't just any 'amateur' as fans discovered online.
The marketing boss has had plenty of practice before entering the tent and has shared his professional looking showstopper cakes on Instagram.
His profile is full of impressive bakes made for family birthdays and weddings and if these are anything to go by then Steven is the one to beat.
Steven's amazing creations including a cute Minion cake, a lovely flower pot cake and a towering floral wedding cake.
The early favourite to win the show has the skills to continue winning the favour of the judges. Though all it takes to cause an internet outrage these days is a bit of talent. He's good at baking, so he can't be an 'amateur'. Obviously.
We'll see how he fares with the real judges in biscuit week next Tuesday.

The Desert Caballeros Western Museum, on the back side of downtown Wickenburg, commemorates cowhands and miners alike. Gold and copper got this town started, just around the time Arizona was getting its land legs as a territory. Historical memorabilia of the Hassayampa Valley, combined with the fine Western art of Frederic Remington, Charles Russell, Olaf Wieghorst, George Phippen, George Catlin, Kenneth Freeman, and a dozen other painters and sculptors, make for a fascinating afternoon in this medium-sized town at the northwestern edge of the metro Phoenix area.
Here are some scenes of the main museum. First, let's see how the early ranch families lived.
Yep, Mom and apple pie were big then, too.
The bunkhouse seems to have had a nice view. Hope no Gila monsters had a habit of being peepin' Toms!
Anyone recognize these brands?
Now, let's go visit the General Store.
The Wally Worlds of their time kept everything under lock and key.
Mrs. Elizabeth Hudson Smith was one of several African-Americans who came to the new Arizona Territory. She prospered nicely as proprietress of the Hotel Vernetta, until statehood, in 1912, brought lots of Easterners, and Jim Crow.
The hotel bar thrived, with the cowpokes and miners not caring whether a person was white, black or green.
Wickenburg has several bronze sculptures around its downtown.
It also has several homey restaurants.
I will head down here again next month, to have a look at Wickenburg's third anchor: Vulture Peak and its gold mine.

Physical education classes might be boring at some schools, but definitely not at Wantagh's Mandalay Elementary School, where teacher Robyn Pastuch helps students keep fit with a variety of fun, innovative activities.
Last year, her students "ran" to Hollywood. Using the school yard as a measure and keeping track of the miles they added on their own or with their family members, students racked up the 3,500 miles in record time. Finding that they'd arrived earlier than expected, they took a quick look around and then set off for Honolulu, arriving in late spring.
This year, the class took a vote and decided they wanted a real challenge. So they are running to Tokyo — 6,752 miles away.
At the same time, though, Pastuch is not only training a squad of extreme-distance runners. Last month, she introduced her students to a new unit: cardio drumming.
As the fifth-graders filed into the gym, they saw outsized buckets that were topped with green exercise balls roughly 2 feet in diameter. The equipment was rented from Suffolk Zone, a chapter of the New York Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance.
Pastuch began by having her charges place the balls correctly with the nipples on the bottom and then explained the ground rules.
If students needed water or the rest room, they had only to raise their hands. They were to follow her movements as closely as possible and to remember that "this isn't music class."
Then, Pastuch led the students through a series of warm-ups to familiarize them with the cues they would be receiving: eight counts, four counts, hit the buckets, hit the floor, sticks together, squats and jumps.
After roughly 10 minutes, the students were ready to begin in earnest, and for the next 15 minutes, students followed Pastuch as she led them through ever more complex combinations of drumming, squatting and jumping.
Next, students paired off and practiced mirroring each other. Each student took a turn leading and following, and it was impressive to see how quickly they picked up each other's moves.
Finally, she doubled the mirroring activity by grouping the student in fours in a kind of follow-the-leader.
By varying the combinations, tempo and degree of strenuousness, Pastuch explained that students received an optimum cardio workout. The heartbeat stayed within a range of roughly 140 to 160 beats per minute, but by speeding up and slowing down, they could exercise without feeling unduly tired. No one appeared to be panting or perspiring excessively. And students not normally motivated to participate in gym class enjoyed the feel of the rhythm, music class or not.
"I liked the mirroring best," Addison Gottlieb said after the class ended. "It was fun to try to follow each other."
Marc Walters added that he enjoyed the sounds but also liked that "it's good for the body."
The exercise also hones directional skills and improves coordination, Pastuch said. "It's one of my favorite units."
Pastuch first encountered cardio drumming about 10 years ago at a workshop for P.E. teachers. She knew she wanted to try it with her students, but first, she needed the equipment, and then, she needed permission from the district.
Now it has all come together. As 11-year-old Walters said, "it makes gym fun!"

Garlic Aioli is a super flavorful sauce that goes with so many recipes. This creamy Roasted Garlic Aioli recipe is easy, tasty, and slightly addicting. It's one of my favorite dips for fries, and goes perfectly with vegetables, chicken, fish, and more! Let me show you how to make the BEST aioli!
Garlic Aioli Recipe
This creamy aioli is the perfect dip, sauce, or condiment for your favorite side dishes and appetizers!
I'm a big fan of garlic. I feel like it has a place in just about every dish, along with salt and pepper. I especially love freshly roasted garlic as a quick addition to meals, because it just tastes BETTER that way.
So it should come as no surprise that I LOVE aioli. It's a dipping sauce based entirely on garlic…YUM. It's pretty easy to make a basic version at home, but I wanted to make a Roasted Garlic Aioli recipe to add in that truly fresh roasted garlic taste. And let me tell you, it makes such a huge difference!
I love making this as a dipping sauce for fries, to put on chicken or fish, and even to take vegetables up a notch. Dip or pour this over anything for an extra kick of flavor, and you won't be disappointed!
Learn how to make garlic aioli with freshly roasted garlic for the BEST aioli recipe!
What is Aioli Made of?
Traditionally, aioli is simply a mixture of garlic, oil, and salt. However, most of us are probably used to mayonnaise-based versions that are much creamier, and more like a paste.
Our Roasted Garlic Aioli recipe is made of:
- Garlic
- Olive Oil
- Mayonnaise
- Lemon Juice
- Worcestershire Sauce
- Cayenne Pepper
How to Make Garlic Aioli
This dip is really easy to make, but it takes a little bit of time just so that we can roast the garlic first. This step makes the flavor so much better, so it really is worth it! Basically, all you have to do is roast the garlic, mix everything together, and then refrigerate.
- Start by preparing the garlic to roast. Trim a 1/2 inch off the top of each head of garlic, then rub them together between your fingers to remove all the skin (except for one layer around the cloves).
- Drizzle olive oil over the garlic, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap the garlic heads in aluminum foil and place them in a small baking dish.
- Bake the garlic for about 50-60 minutes at 400°F.
- Remove the garlic from the oven, unwrap it, and let it cool for 10 minutes. Then mash it up with a fork.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, and mashed garlic. You want to mix it well until it becomes a creamy paste.
- Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving, or up to 48 hours.
Grab this stuff and dip away, or use it as a sauce on all your favorites. It's sooo yummy, and slightly addicting (you've been warned!).
What do you eat with roasted garlic aioli?
One of my favorite things to eat with this is FRENCH FRIES. Any kind of fries or potatoes will do, honestly. I could dip these Shoestring Fries in aioli alllll day looooong. It's such a great appetizer, or snack food when having a few drinks.
I also love this roasted garlic aioli recipe as a sauce for our Crispy Garlic Butter Asparagus. The two recipes go hand-in-hand really, so I definitely recommend trying the asparagus with this. But the great thing about dips and sauces is you can use them on whatever you want.
It tastes good with fish, chicken, vegetables, fried foods…basically everything!
Can I make roasted garlic aioli ahead of time?
Yes! This sauce will keep well in the refrigerator for about 2 days. So you can make this up to 48 hours in advance.
Can I freeze garlic aioli?
Unfortunately, you can't really freeze aioli. It just doesn't work very well once it thaws (as is the case with any emulsified sauce that separates). However, this stuff is pretty easy to make, so you can whip some up fresh whenever you need it.
What are you waiting for? Whip up some of this creamy roasted garlic aioli and start dipping. I'd love to hear what you like to eat it with!
See the recipe card for details on how to make roasted garlic aioli. Enjoy!

The Pulitzer Center is pleased to announce that it has partnered with CatchLight Media on the second year of the organization's $30,000 fellowship program. Last year, the Center supported photojournalist Tomas van Houtryve as he reported on the U.S.-Mexico border and the "weaponization" of photography using historical photographic techniques alongside cutting-edge surveillance technology.
Van Houtryve was one of three photographers selected by Catchlight's judging panel, which includes Pulitzer Center Executive Director Jon Sawyer. The fellowship is awarded to "creative leaders in the field of visual storytelling, who have demonstrated excellence in the novel use of photography to depict and bring awareness to challenging social issues. The grants will build on work by each of the Fellows with potential to achieve a next level of excellence in visual storytelling, innovation in distribution and measurable social impact."
As a partner, the Pulitzer Center is seeking photojournalism projects that address a critical under-reported global topic that also includes a plan for distribution in wide-reaching news outlets. Pulitzer Center staff will work with CatchLight and the Fellow to maximize the project's impact across new and traditional platforms as well as through the Center's extensive network of educational partners.
"Through the Pulitzer Center there's a whole number of actors that are starting to assemble around this work to bring it into educational institutions, bring it into museums," said van Houtryve.
Applications for the 2018 CatchLight Fellowship will open on January 1, 2018 and close on January 31. The 2018 Catchlight fellows will be announced on April 2. For more information on the fellowship and application process, visit the CatchLight Fellowship website here.

Check out online reviews of personal injury lawyers. Do not settle for the first lawyer or law firm you come across. You should research all of your options.
Having a preexisting condition does not automatically negate a personal injury claim. Always be honest with the lawyer about injuries you suffered prior to your accident. You don't want that surprised to show up in court!

Look on the Internet for reliable personal injury attorneys. That way, you will have lots of information with which to decide. Look for people who have practiced for several years and who have won a number of cases.
You need a retainer agreement before getting an attorney's services. This lets you see all of the charges that you will have to pay in advance. If you are unable to pay a large amount up-front, your agreement should include your payment terms, and be sure to include a severance clause in case wish to part ways for any reasons.
Don't hire a lawyer who doesn't specialize in personal injuries. Lawyers usually have different specialties, ranging from real estate to family law. You must find a lawyer that know this particular type of law and has dealt with cases in it. To do otherwise is to take a substantial risk.
Never apologize to the driver of the other vehicle if you are in an accident. Doing so can further your opponent's claim that the event was actually your fault. It doesn't matter if you know the accident is your fault. You should not apologize.
Personal injury litigation can be a hard experience, but an experienced attorney can help you get through the case. Use the article you just read to learn what you can about dealing with a personal injury case. By the conclusion, you should have a positive verdict while helping make the wold a bit safer.

Sponsored Innovation report - Imagine a resin infusion media made so permeable that it dramatically speeded up resin flow and yet consumed absolutely zero resin itself and is able to be reused hundreds of times.
Such technical features do seem unimaginable but they exist in the guise of the new morphing runner system from Alan Harper Composites Ltd, a reusable vacuum membrane technology specialist company from UK.The company does not believe the industry will continue to accept the high cost waste associated with unsound, single use "consumable bagging". The reason is that reusable vacuum membranes are bringing not only significant cost reduction but allowing new technology breakthroughs previously unimaginable with the past consumable bagging conventional systems.The new morphing runner system firmly places reusables head and shoulders over consumables dwarfing their ability to meet more demanding processing technical challenges whilst at the same time reducing moulders costly waste.
Morphing Runner operated "ON" providing 12 mm runner slot. Also 22 mm and 32mm available
For example, in resin infusion the old system of spiral wrap positioned under the bag film had major drawbacks in that it required use of consumable peel ply yet often printed through flow paths to the cosmetic part A surface due to resin shrinkage. Apart from this the wasteful cured flow channels/runners had to be removed with costly labour to clean up for each moulding cycle. By eliminating all these consumable issues associated with the old methods, reusable morphing runners clearly demonstrate how infusion can be made more efficient with lower costs and far less wasteful when adopting the new reusable approach.Morphing runners provide unquestionable advantages:
The advantages of reusable vacuum membranes give birth to invisible Resin RunnerIt may seem a little magical but it is now perfectly possible to infuse composites with moulds having large resin distribution channels which can be made to appear and disappear on demand.The new Morphing Runner is a seamless built in resin flow path within a reusable vacuum membrane. The novel design can be made to disappear after infusion and before cure which eliminates the need to remove hardened and wasteful resin flow channels. The technology also eliminates the need for peel ply under former conventional infusion spiral wrap flow paths.
Cross Section Morphing Runner OFF leaving absolute flush smooth surface
Morphing Runner is built into the reusable membrane during manufacture and features a single or multiple control points allowing resin flow paths to be orchestrated by appearing and disappearing at will. Morphing resin runners can be networked together to provide multiple channels radiating from one central channel.Morphing Runner is available as a profile to embed within the reusable vacuum membrane during manufacture. It is easily positioned and sealed into the primary membrane layers then reinforced. This is fitted with built in pressure connection providing simple external control of runner channel ON and OFF condition.The illustration below shows clearly the cross section and method of operation for the new morphing resin runner feed.

(CNN) — Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Bob Corker sharply criticized President Donald Trump's demeaning comments about Attorney General Jeff Sessions, while bluntly warning that Trump would turn the United States into an authoritarian regime like Venezuela "if left to his own accord."
Corker, a retiring Tennessee Republican, reacted strongly to comments reported in journalist Bob Woodward's new book, with the President reportedly called the attorney general, who is from Alabama, a "dumb southerner" and "mentally retarded."
Asked to respond Tuesday, Corker told CNN: "If the President doesn't like his service, he can look him in the eye and terminate him. Whining is pretty unbecoming of a 13-year-old. But it's very unbecoming of a 71- or 72-year-old President. … If he's got a problem with Jeff Sessions, just fire him but he probably is afraid to do that before the midterms. But whining between now and then probably isn't productive."
Corker has been unsparing in his criticism of Trump at times, including warning that the President is "debasing" the United States and saying the country would descend into "chaos" if several top administration officials were not in their posts. Woodward, in his book, reports that aides at times would remove papers from Trump's desk out of fear he would take steps to undercut the country's security.
In Tuesday's interview, Corker also pushed back at Trump's Monday tweet that Sessions should have prevented two Republican congressmen from being indicted on federal charges to save their seats in the midterms.
"If left to his own accord, our country would look somewhat like Venezuela," Corker said, referring to the authoritarian regime there. "It shocks me, some of the things, as if you treat your friends in one way and your political enemies in another way. Most presidents understand their role is different than this one does. He's remarkable in his lack of appreciation for democratic values and institutions. And I think that's where some of the greatest damage is being done to this country."
The 448-page book, "Fear: Trump in the White House," is slated for public release on September 11. CNN obtained a copy of the book, which Woodward says is drawn from hundreds of hours of background interviews with dozens of firsthand sources, including people in Trump's inner circle.

Sandra Brown is one of my favorite author, I love all her book that I've read so far,
Deadline is another good read, I love the suspense, the twist and turns. And i love a little bit
of romance. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves Mystery and suspense.
I have read this book twice. Really enjoyed it. Did not want to put it down
Really enjoyed my first book by Sandra Brown. It was one of those books that was hard to put down.
My least favourite Sandra Brown novel. I actually got bored and struggled to finish it.
Brown excels at surprising the reader in this book. DNA is used to solve a mystery and change how a person views their heritage. Attraction between Dawson and Amelia is the better for it.
Great book. Lots of plot twists, but easy to follow. I always enjoy reading books by Sandra Brown!
Another outstanding book by Brown.. A journalist who unwillingly accepts to review a murder trial, but who ultimately becomes involved in the turmoil, savagery and deceit of this Amelia's extended 'family'. It was well worth reading - couldn't put it down.
Very enjoyable, in spite of the sex scenes I could have done without, but there were only a few and easy to flip past. Otherwise good storyline and lots of suspense.
Good book, as expected from Sandra Brown. She does not disappoint . A good read.
A little slow at first. Picks up steam and the twist at the end is unbelievable. Also... the sex will get you moving.

Question; my HOA allows for watering Thursdays and Sundays, morning and night. I set it up for those days but I cannot do it for twice a day, how can I do that?
@graciany We currently don't support the option to enable a watering time to be run for more than one time.
If you create a new watering time with the same day and different time, that will allow you to run twice per day.
Thanks and have a great day!
Then that would be a nice add-on to the next app update.

A Message from the President - November 2018Monday, November 26, 2018
Reflecting upon the spirit of Thanksgiving, I'd like to express my gratitude to our vital and resilient Palo Alto University community. I am inspired daily by our richly diverse community, commitment to service, and the outstanding work by our students, faculty and alumni to improve lives throughout our community and around the world.
In this month's newsletter, we are delighted to announce that PAU Professor Ricardo F. Muñoz received the '2018 Outstanding Mentor Award' from the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies during a ceremony in Washington, D.C. November 16. We are so inspired and humbled by Dr. Muñoz's commitment to mentorship and his tireless efforts to make mental health care available around the globe. Congratulations Dr. Muñoz!
PAU's impact was also recognized at the Western Association for Counselor Education and Supervision (WACES) conference November 9 in Santa Rosa. PAU Assistant Professor Margaret Lamar not only chaired an outstanding conference that featured many talks by our PAU Counseling Department colleagues, but she also took home the organization's "Professional Leadership Award;" one of our recent alums, Moitreyee Chowdhury, won an "emerging leader" award and presented a session with Dr. Cristen Wathen on her work on working with the South Asian community through a culturally competent lens; and, perhaps most exciting of all, I was thrilled to see our counseling program receive well-deserved recognition as the "Innovative Program Award for 2018."
I'm consistently reminded of the wealth of service our community is providing beyond our classroom walls. I encourage you to read about the inspiring work of PAU Alumna Heather Unrue, Ph.D., as she teaches patients, medical residents, and practicing physicians the value of early psychological intervention in pediatric primary care. Additionally, the heartfelt story of PAU Ph.D. Candidate Vidya Bharat's commitment to address mental health issues in the workplace in India serves as an inspiration to the positive global impact that the mental health field can have both at home and abroad.
In closing, I was reminded last week about how kind and caring our community is. At our holiday gathering of staff, faculty and Trustees, a bounty of toys and gifts were collected for CASA, food was collected for the Second Harvest Food Bank, and donations were made to help survivors of California's Camp Fire.
Thank you for contributing so passionately to our communities, and for being the change we wish to see in the world. I wish each of you a warm and safe winter break and holiday season.

As the world of business is changing with innovative ideas and technological advancements, the nature of investments is also changing its face. A few years ago, investments were done in an old-school way, which has witnessed rapid transformation and experts predict it will change even more drastically in the coming days.
Before beginning the discussion on the future of investing money, it is important to weave the safety net and not being carried away. The money market is very tumultuous, characterized by gaining and losing big bucks. Thus, it is very important to take the necessary steps to invest in a more mature and calculated way. Before cracking an investment, one needs to concentrate on one key element and that is 'security'. Thus the President of Capital One Investing, Yvette Butler said that "We really encourage people to have six months of savings first."
"Invest in the stock market" is some of the most common advice one can ever hear. This raises the question, how can this be in an innovative or futuristic idea? The answer is, in our point of view, it is not a cliched but a classic method of investing money. A number of new ideas can come and get trashed within a few years creating more risk to your investment, but the stock market was there, and it is still ruling the world creating a safe zone for the investors.
However, there are certain rules or rather smart ways to invest in stock. Few factors, such as to invest when the market is high and buy fewer shares when the market is low are some of them. Invest in different companies without being dependent on a few companies, as the gain or loss can create havoc to your investment. Colorado financial advisor David Henderson of Jenkins Wealth has always suggested investing in a number of stocks to avoid dependency.
Peer-to-Peer Lending is a great place to stash some of the extra cash. It's a unique way of investing in other people's business and their goals. The peer-to-peer lending has been acknowledged as an alternative to the stock market for a few reasons. For example, here the companies make it easy to sign up and get started, the rate of return can range from 5%-7% for safer as well as for riskier loans and most importantly one can start with a minimal amount as $1,000.
Another very futuristic alternatives to cash today is cryptocurrency. It started with the introduction of Bitcoin and these new currencies are quick to gain appreciation in the market. It is undoubtedly one of the more ambitious and interesting methods of investing money. Though there are a number of negative qualities, it seems like cryptocurrencies have a promising future. The biggest compelling reason for this process of investment is the elimination of cash, which is going to be the future very soon.
Promotion of cryptocurrency remains popular for a number of reasons. The breath taking pace of technological changes is creating unbelievable possibilities for economies and wealth generation. For example, it took 13 years to create 50 million television users and the first 50 million Facebook users were there in just after 3.5 years, and interestingly Angry Birds, the game got its 50 million users in just 35 days. So the picture is clear. Technology will grow even faster, making business more radical to uplift the investment market to become more technology-based.
Thus in this respect, there are a number of factors that should be kept in mind while thinking of investment in a company:
● The convincing success of the company in the field of virtual and augmented reality, big data, and artificial intelligence to put your money.
● The company should have dominant Internet platforms.
● Technologies such as robotics and 3D printing are flourishing and have a promising future to invest your precious money.
The world business is changing and so are the investments to build it. It is thus important to choose smarter processes and be very cautious while investing money.

The Menzingers, GBH and A Wilhelm Scream Help Welcome Back Exclaim! TV's Garageland
Published Feb 16, 2011Exclaim! TV's Garageland is back for a new year. This week, check out the latest videos on small-town living with the Menzingers, punk rock 101 with GBH and what it's like to wreck studios with A Wilhelm Scream. These episodes are all available for your viewing pleasure over at our Exclaim! TV section.
Pennsylvania's the Menzingers (pictured) are still hard at work pushing their latest record, Chamberlain Waits, which came out on Red Scare Industries early last year. Garageland host Sam Sutherland caught up with the melodic punkers and asked the band's Tom May and Greg Barnett about their hometown of Scranton, PA and the compromises that were made in order to keep the band on the road.
Legendary UK street punk grandfathers GBH have been going against the grain since punk's first wave in the late '70s. They've never flicked the killswitch and stayed faithful to their original sound. Frontman Colin Abrahall talks about not giving in to record labels, hanging out with Lars Frederiksen (of Rancid) when he was an 11-year-old and how touring in the early days compares to touring now.
Finally, A Wilhelm Scream have to be one of the hardest working bands in the hardcore punk scene these days, and it shows. Their fanbase has grown rapidly lately and this labour of love -- starting as early as 1993 in New Bedford, MA -- has come to fruition. Check out their energetic live performance and find out how recording their latest release themselves affected the band.
See these latest Garageland episodes by heading over to the Exclaim! TV section, and get set for more.

Job Description
Do you have experience within a lab printing environment, together with excellent attention to detail and strong computer skills (Excel and Word)? If so, you could be ideally suited to a new vacancy which has arisen with a leading Pharmaceutical company in Worthing, West Sussex. We are looking for someone to be responsible for the printing of labels for individual batches of drug products which are going to be sent to multiple countries and you will be involved in stock control, handling data, checking and producing labels and communicating with people across the business.
This is a permanent role with a salary of around £19,000 (hours of 7am-3pm, Monday to Friday) plus excellent benefits.
The Company
A pioneering Worthing-based Pharmaceutical company who manufacture and distribute life-changing drugs to patients across Europe and other territories around the world. They specialise in making vaccines for people who suffer from debilitating conditions and they have an excellent reputation as a local employer. The company is well known its positive and supportive working environment and they are continuing to expand due to their ongoing successes across Europe and the USA.
The Role
Working in a small print area that is adjacent to the Inspection, Labelling and Packaging department, you will have a variety of responsibilities that will require meticulous attention to detail at all times.
For each new batch record that comes in, relating to the production of a vaccine, you will choose the correct label type (from a selection of a few hundred), create the unique label and set the quantities and parameters for printing, print the labels and supply them to the necessary people within agreed timeframes. Alongside this, you will use Word and Excel to enter, process and check batch codes, data and documentation and will ensure that everything matches correctly. Outside of the print room, you will meet with people across different departments to inform them of updates, which is part of the company's open culture for clear communication.
Some parts of your role will require you to work alone, or in a pair, for extended periods of time, so you must be able to show that you take real pride in your work and can be trusted to work consistently at all times.
In addition to a salary of around £19,000, you will receive an excellent benefits package including:
- 25 days' holiday + bank holidays
- Private health cover
- Life insurance
- Pension scheme
- Discretionary, non-contractual annual bonus
We are looking for a reliable, hard-working individual with some experience from a label printing / production environment. It will be helpful if you have worked in a highly regulated setting before (e.g. Pharmaceuticals or Food packaging), though this is not essential provided you can still demonstrate your attention to detail, analytical skills and ability to focus for extended periods of time. Experience of inventory control / stock control would be a strong advantage, as would the ability to work with data on Excel and documents in Word.
Full details will be provided on application, so please get in touch!

Pet Peeve #241Online Newspapers that split articles over multiple pages. It is annoying and pointless. Just because you think people enjoy flipping through newsprint 14 times to read the dead tree version doesn't mean that online readers like to "flip". That is one of the many reasons I don't read dead tree versions of any paper. As someone who travels it is even more annoying.
Scenario 1: I am in a hotel in the boonies (or worse yet, France) where dialup, and possibly poor dialup, is the only internet access. I look at the front page and middle click a few articles whose headlines look interesting to me. (For those of you stuck on Windoze and Internet Destroyer, that means that the link will open passively in a new tab.) A few minutes later I click on one of the tabs and start reading the article only to find that the bottom of the page isn't the bottom of the article. I click and wait, and wait and wait.
Scenario 2: I am about to head to the airport and want to gather up a bunch of news to read on the plane. I tab out a bunch of news. I put my laptop in sleep mode. I go get on the plane. I start to read.... and then I curse under my breath.
Please stop this practice.

Most people think surfing kind of sums up pretty much everything sports-related in Hawaii, but there's so much more, like paddling, swimming, yoga… Wait, yoga is a sport? Anyway, this is where you'll read about our readers' favorite groms, gyms and beaches to barbecue, because grilling is most definitely a sport.
Best Yoga Teacher
When it comes to the best yoga teacher, MauiTime voters think James Onnikian is number one. Surprisingly, running a yoga studio on Maui wasn't his first passion. In fact, he's a world champion kickboxer, well studied in the methods of martial arts. He feels that yoga and kickboxing offers the best all-over body workout. That makes him even more qualified to kick your butt into shape, which is probably why our readers voted him best. Try Onnikian's yoga practice at his studio Maui Yoga and Kickboxing in Kihei.

Best Spa
Maui's best spa is also the biggest in the state. Imagine for a moment 50,000 square feet of pampering splendor, from the terme to sauna, with 40 luxe treatment rooms and a second-level, outdoor resting lanai. Located at the Grand Wailea, Spa Grande's newest therapies include farm-to-spa sustainable treatments that are sourced locally and include the niu coconut muscle relief, a honey cocoon using honey farmed on their rooftop apiary and their taro skin soother. A full service salon and exquisite gift shop rounds out the experience from head to toe, and you can get their exclusive bath salts and products as part of your retail therapy, which allows you to bring your spa experience home. 3850 Wailea Alanui Dr.; 808-875-1234; Grandwailea.com. @jenrusso
Runner Up: Kapalua Spa
Best Yoga Studio
MauiTime readers apparently enjoy their yoga hot and intense, so they decided that the Maui Yoga and Kickboxing studio is the best place on the island to practice your adho mukha savasana. What makes their studio so unique? Besides climate controls that jack up the temperature to 100 degrees with 40 percent humidity, the studio combines yoga and kickboxing for a complete mind and body workout. Of course, not all of their yoga is balmy–you'll find traditional ashtanga and yoga strength training. 202 E Lipoa St., Kihei; 808 875-9642; Mauihotyoga.com. @jenrusso
Runner Up: Island Spirit
Best Barbecuing Beach
Surf, sand and sizzling burgers on the grill–Kam 3 really does have it all. With a large grassy lawn, picnic tables, showers, a public bathroom and, of course, barbeques this beach is the perfect spot to cook up your dinner after a fun day in the ocean. Throw in a ridiculously stunning sunset every evening, and it's no surprise this beach usually has an inflatable cityscape of jumping-castle birthday parties in full swing. Bring your grillable goodies and cook up a fun day with the whole ohana. S. Kihei Rd. @beccanaka

Best Local Amateur Surfer
Matt Meola
Carving, spinning, jumping; Matt Meola creates the most impressive aerials with ease and fluidity. This 24-year-old Haiku native has been surfing his whole life, frequenting Ho'okipa during the winter, then travelling to surf destinations around the world in the summer. His water acrobatics have caught the attention of sponsors like Rockstar, Kaenon and Oxbow. In 2011, Meola shot to surfing stardom by winning Taylor Steele's online video contest, Innersection. Meola continued his videography projects by using the excitement of his surfing antics to produce, along with fellow surfer Albee Layer, The Isle, a web series sponsored by Rockstar. @beccanaka
Runner-up: Shane Hurdman
Best Local Grom
Kelson Lau
He may only be 12 years old and stand less than five feet tall, but there's nothing small about Kelson Lau's surfing. Fearlessly going for it on some major waves, Kelson carves like an old pro, even placing in some local surf competitions. Hailing from Peahi, this saimin-loving grom is just as dedicated to his grades at Kalama Intermediate as he is to the waves. Already sponsored by Hurley, Dakine and Lau Lau Shapes, his surfing is making a bigger splash than the waves at Jaws during a north swell–and you'll probably find him tearing it up out there pretty soon. @beccanaka

Best Scholastic Athlete
Renny Richmond
In his senior year at Seabury Hall, swimmer Renny Richmond became a six-time state champion, tying the record for the number of state championships won by a Maui swimmer. Richmond closed out his impressive high school career by earning more titles than any other male athlete in Maui Interscholastic League history. In 2012, Richmond also participated in the U.S. Olympic trials in his signature 100-meter butterfly race. Looking forward to continuing his aquatic ventures, Richmond has committed to attend the University of Arizona on scholarship in the fall. @beccanaka

Best Local Coach
Beginning in 2004, Melissa Rajesh introduced Maui's keiki to the fun and challenging world of gymnastics through Maui Tumblers. Acting as a mobile gymnastics company, Rajesh and the rest of the Maui Tumblers certified coaches bring gymnastic programs directly to schools, camps and even birthday parties. Rajesh leads her students in active learning through stretching exercises and obstacle courses and by introducing them to new skills and activities. Rajesh creates a safe and engaging environment for all, promoting fitness and fun through flipping, tumbling and lots of smiles. Mauitumblers.com. @beccanaka
Runner-up: Shane Hurdman
Best Swimming Beach
Aww, who wants to swim here? All Ka'anapali has are miles of white sand and crystal clear water. Some spots are better for surfing, and Black Rock is a super-popular snorkeling spot, but for much of Ka'anapali's length you can just dive into the water and have a grand time in relative safety. Sure, there are thousands of visitors slowing turning scarlet on the sand and thousands of hotel and condo rooms just a few yards away, but that's the price we must all pay for one of the island's best beaches. @apignataro

Best Public Pool
Perhaps because this place is still relatively new at just eight years old (and because the pool at the Westin Resort in Ka'anapali isn't exactly "public"), it's proven popular with our readers. According to the county Parks Department, the Lahaina Aquatic Center includes "competition and warm-up/children's pools, scoreboard, PA- and timing-systems, meeting, conference and locker rooms." Not really sure our readers are loving the LAC because of its meeting rooms, but it's nice to know they're there should a water polo match get out of control and require immediate mediation. @apignataro
Runner-up: Pukalani Aquatic Center
Best Locals Beach
Yeah, I can see why our readers opted for Big Beach as the preferred spot for Maui's local residents. Maybe it's the fact that, unlike Ka'anapali, Big Beach is huge and completely undeveloped. Or perhaps it's because of the let's call them "challenging" surf conditions, in which massive waves explode on shore. There are few more awe-inspiring sights than watching people born and raised on Maui grab their body boards and run into the waves on high-surf conditions the instant the lifeguard gets off the Public Address system after warning everyone about the "life-changing injuries" that can result from getting worked in that surf. @apignataro
Runner-up: Baby Beach
Best Snorkeling Spot
Black Rock
Yes, Black Rock in West Maui is one of the most popular snorkeling spots on Maui. Anyone who goes into the water there after 8am can see that. But popularity doesn't always equal best, and when there are that many people splashing around in the water hoping to spot turtles, it's inevitable that nearby sea life will get spooked. In truth, there are all sorts of wonderful snorkeling spots around the island, including Ukumehame, Honolua Bay, Makena and Palauea, which is also known as White Rock. Those spots offer the same clear water and coral reefs as Black Rock, but without the big crowds. @apignataro
Runner-up: Honolua Bay
Best Hike
Even for Maui, this is an impressive hike. Known as the Pipiwai Trail, it starts near Oheo gulch in Hana and runs about four miles round-trip through gorgeous, sublime bamboo trees before ending at the impressive Waimoku Waterfalls. Along the way there are bridges, boardwalks, Banyan trees, waterfalls, streams and all the tropical rain forest beauty people have come to expect from Maui. As is pretty much the case with any hikes in Hana, proper hiking footwear is a must as heavy rains (and flash floods) can start at any time. You should have at least some hiking experience, as the trail gains about 900 feet in altitude from the coast to the falls. @apignataro

Best County Park
Keopuolani Regional Park
Our readers picked a good one: Keopuolani Regional is the largest park in Maui County. It spans 110 acres, with about 85 of those acres actually accessible, developed parkland. It's a sprawling place, great for ball games, barbecues or just long, quiet walks. It's also home to the War Memorial Complex, site of the Maui County Fair. And since it's all located next to the Maui Arts and Cultural Center in Kahului, it's also easy to get to. @apignataro
Runner-up: Kalama Park
Best Playground
Apparently our readers haven't actually visited the Kalakupua Playground at 4th Marine Division Park in Haiku (known locally as Giggle Hill) lately, because the playground has been closed for some time. Oh, don't get us wrong: there's enough equipment and catwalks there to give any kid hours of enjoyment, but as of now, no one can use it because county officials closed it last October after deeming it unsafe. That means the County Parks Department will have to demolish it, then build a new playground that meets national safety standards. And no one's really said when that will happen, or how many hundreds of thousands of dollars it will cost. @apignataro
Runner-up: Keopuolani Regional Park

Best Gym
Since the dawn of time, Humanity's most dangerous sworn enemy has always been Exercise (OK, that might be an overstatement, but not by much). Whether it's the line for equipment, people who don't wipe down seats after use or generally lackluster workout routines, there are few of us who don't dread going to the gym. But our readers have decided that Crossfit State of Mind is an exception. Crossfit combines short, high-intense circuits and is a growing a nationwide phenomenon. The concept focuses on strength and conditioning, using every part of your body. There's no need to watch the clock or fight over the elliptical.

Best High School Spirit
Even with such a limited number of high schools on island, school spirit seems a bit heightened on Maui. No place exemplifies this more than Lahainaluna. Established in 1831, the home of the Lunas houses not only spirited students but many decades of tradition, culture and community. Marked by the larger than life "L" in the West Maui Mountains, Luna Pride can be seen by all who travel the Honoapi'ilani Highway to the Westside. Woven into the fabric of Lahaina's rich history, the Lunas are something that can make us all proud. 980 Lahainaluna Rd., Lahaina; 808-662-4000; Lahainalunahs.org @sandtothecity

Best Children's Activity
Here, keiki can explore fascinating sea life without you worrying over rough currents or getting sand in your eyes. Voted the island's Best Children's Activity, the Maui Ocean Center offers a slew of exhibits including "The Living Reef," "Hammerhead Harbor" and a 54-foot long acrylic tunnel offering uninterrupted views of "The Open Ocean." The center also has special events crafted with children in mind–birthday parties, sleepovers and field trips are just a few. 192 Ma'alaea Rd.; 808-270-7000; Mauioceancenter.com @sandtothecity

Best Activity Company
Rooted in its mission of keeping whales, dolphins and the ocean itself safe from pollution, hunting and extinction, Pacific Whale Foundation is this year's winner as the Best Activity Company. Advocacy, conservation and fun are all important parts to PWF's method. Not only do guests have fun, but the proceeds go towards continued marine research and conservation efforts. The family-friendly ocean adventures have been a hit for decades, and our readers seem to know why. 800-942-5311; pacificwhale.org @sandtothecity

WITH voters going to the polls next week, town centre regeneration works, parking charges, and 'super schools' are all issues likely to be at the forefront of Cynon Valley minds.
The ongoing work in Aberdare town centre has divided the electorate since it began last autumn, and is set to be one of the deciding factors when votes are cast next Thursday.
While many agree with Labour-led Rhondda Cynon Taf Council that the extensive works are essential to rejuvenate the dated town, others have fiercely opposed the project, criticising its £7m-plus cost and accusing the council and its contractors of driving custom away with the level of disruption.
Such targeted investment has also sparked criticism from residents and traders in neighbouring areas, who say their areas are also in desperate need of funding.
As well as calls from Penrhiwceiber resident Lyn Warner, for money to be ploughed in to road resurfacing and traffic congestion throughout the area, Mountain Ash traders have repeatedly called on the council to drop parking charges in and around the high street, which they claim has already suffered as a result of the investment in the neighbouring town.
Education is also likely to be a hot topic for many – particularly interested parties anxious to find out the outcome of a Welsh Government decision on a proposed super school for the Cynon Valley.
The current council plans to merge 1,600 pupils from Blaengwawr, Aberdare Girls and Aberdare High school on a new £41m site on the Ynys, Aberdare.
The controversial proposal was approved by councillors late last year, but following objections from parents, staff and governors, the decision on the future of schooling in the area now lies with the Education Minister in Cardiff Bay.
Job security, unemployment and council workers' pay are also set to come under the spotlight over the next week.
Against a backdrop of scathing attacks from opposition members following cuts to council staff's pay and condition, council leader Russell Roberts himself recently came under fire when it was revealed he earns £102,000 from the public purse for undertaking five jobs.
But Councillor Roberts responded with a staunch defence of his party, expressing his pride at the council's record under his tenure as leader.
He said: "We've protected and improved frontline services and avoided compulsory redundancies. I'm very proud of our record as a local authority and the hard work that has been put in over the years.
"I think our record speaks for itself. We were recently recognised and commended by the Wales Audit Office, which shows we have done a good job.
RCT Plaid Cymru leader Coun Pauline Jarman said her party was pushing for higher pay for council workers and criticised a recent Labour decision not to back an ex-gratia payment of £200 to staff.
"I think that revelation about the council leader's pay has stunned people across the county borough," she said. "They can hardly believe that a senior public figure in Rhondda Cynon Taf is earning not far short of the Prime Minister."
Leader of RCT Liberal Democrats, Coun Mike Powell, also suggested voters were disillusioned with the current Labour-led authority.
He said: "Speaking to people on the street in RCT, there are a lot of issues that Labour have failed to address.
"The council is unbelievably top heavy. I think a lot of public sector workers will look at Roberts' ridiculous pay and feel aggrieved when they can't even earn overtime."

Personal interview with Oliver Maher, Wealth Manager at United Advisers Marine.
On Tuesday 17th February 2015, I sat down with Oliver Maher to get more information about financial planning. Oliver is an expert in holistic financial planning for yachties, I asked him if he was able to give me some tips regarding personal finance. Oliver has provided me with some important ideas and suggestions that would be helpful for any crew member in the superyacht sector which I have outlined here. However, Oliver did also explain to me that every person is different and unique in their needs regarding financial planning. So, in order to get the best advice tailored to your specific needs, he recommends you contact one of UAM's advisers to begin the journey.
- First of all, Oliver told me that it is important to prioritise your financial goals, to achieve where you would like to be in the future. If you know where you are now and your final targeted destination, a financial planner such as Oliver is able to give customised advice accordingly.
- Oliver also mentioned that it is very important to yachties that your financial planning is tailored to your specific needs.
- Apart from the above, Oliver highlighted the importance of thinking about your short, medium and long term needs. Short term needs, might arise when you break your leg or when another debilitating event happens unexpectedly. Likewise, you should consider what you will do next if you quit your job next year or what happens to your career when you fall in love?!
- To cope with these types of "what if's", Oliver pointed out the importance of ensuring you have an adequate emergency fund of 6-12 months' salary to cover any worst case scenarios.
- Regarding retirement, Oliver emphasised the importance of where and when you would like to go on shore after your yachting career. If you did not think about this yet, Oliver is able to give retirement planning advice to make sure that when you e.g. wish to retire earlier than normal state pension age, your future planned income will allow you to do so.
- Moreover, I heard that while working on a yacht you should definitely consider tax advantageous options modified to your residency and domicile.
- Another tip Oliver gave me, is to increase your wealth with a diversified, managed investment portfolio. Yachties are able to choose from the 40,000 separate funds offered through UAM, to ensure that you are getting better growth than that from a standard bank account. UAM have a team of Discretionary Managers actively managing your finances to ensure that your invested in the right place at the right time.
If you find it hard to deal with these topics alone or would rather get help with financial planning, you might consider speaking with a personal financial planner to do the job for you. Oliver from UAM would be happy to assist you and thanks to his enthusiasm for educating yachties about financial planning and also helping them to achieve wealth management in the long run, he is able to give you lots of advice about all of these topics.
So how does it work? You can call or email Oliver to have a no obligation, exploratory chat. Afterwards, Oliver likes to personally sit down and talk with you on a regular basis. Depending on the level of service you require and your needs, the original financial plan will be reviewed accordingly and ongoing decisions made. Typically Oliver likes to meet up with his clients every 6 – 12 months on their yacht or via Skype/ Telco. This can change from client to client of course.
So make sure your income is protected and serves you in the long run!

The truth of the matter is that I don't know how to communicate the struggles of any life situation until I have emerged, gloriously and beautifully, on the other side. The last ten weeks is no exception, but I am going to try.
The Academy has been hard, to put it lightly. It was a new chapter for The Man and I, that we could not ever have hoped to be adequately prepared. We were just getting used to living together and then it started.
Personally, my biggest problem is that, despite all of the research that I had done, I found no advice that was adequate to my expectations and standards of a loving, supportive relationship. Everything that I had found suggested and insisted upon lifestyles that were not sustainable.
While I was exploring the advice of seasoned firefighter partners, I was excited, and looked forward to being that Stepford Wife for my hero. Ten weeks later, I have experienced things that, perhaps unsurprisingly, other fire wives and girlfriends have undoubtedly faced but chosen to stay silent about.
Maybe I'm stubborn. Maybe I'm high-maintenance. Maybe I hold my partner to an unreasonable standard, but for 18 weeks, I cannot continue making dinner, cleaning it up, asking about his day, maintain a house, tend to our pet, look beautiful, all while sidelining my feelings, hopes, and daily struggles.
I maintain that my ideal relationship with my firefighter is one of equality.
Mind you, before all of this started, I loved that boy who never knew a stable, healthy partnership. I loved the man into whom he evolved. I loved the partner, roommate, co-conspirator, keeper of secrets, and bunny daddy into whom he further evolved. For years, before he became a firefighter, he was already my one. Before I became a firefighter girlfriend, I was already his soulmate.
As we had established before the Academy started, I wish to continue. I don't like looking at situations saying that we are going to give 50/50, and meet each other halfway.
Despite what I have read, along with the societal and unspoken pressures that we both hear independent of each other, I am not here to make his life smoother or more enjoyable than he is here to do said work for me.
We are partners.
We are equals.
My father has said to me that the concept of giving 50/50 is a myth. Alongside your partner, you enter every situation giving 100 percent. You give everything you can to work toward a common goal. When your partner is unable to fulfill their "half" of a goal, but is giving 100 percent, that is fine. As a "partner," you need to be able to pick up where they fell short, without prompt or resentment.
I recognize the pressure of The Man's schedule along with the physical and mental demands. I pick up around the house, and in life, where he cannot meet me "halfway." I cannot handle when these extra efforts on my part are met with the attitude that the "extra" is simply not that. It is now just what I do.
This seems to be the point that a lot of blogs written by firefighters and the partners of firefighters is to acknowledge the responsibilities of the partner, without addressing the firefighter meeting said partner at any point in an interaction.
As a woman and human being, in dealing with this chapter, I need support. I occasionally need help around the house. I, too, need to vent.
For the last seven weeks, this has been where The Man and I have struggled. We have entered a new chapter, for which neither of us were properly educated. The interactions, expectations, demands on ourselves and each other, and capabilities have all changed.
While we continue to work to stay together and maintain a healthy, equally beneficial relationship, I want to offer the truest piece of advice I could ever give anyone new to this world of love and firefighting. I want to say that your partner is training to become a hero. He is stressed out, uptight, exhausted, and hungry. There is a lot going on in their mind and in their body. However, you are still a person with very real emotions, fears, anxiety, anger, and despair. In a healthy relationship, that needs to be addressed, and should not be sidelined or put on a back burner because of someone's professional training.
