Discusses the growth mechanisms of tin whiskers and the effective mitigation strategies necessary to reduce whisker growth risks
This book covers key tin whisker topics, ranging from fundamental science to practical mitigation strategies. The text begins with a review of the characteristic properties of local microstructures around whisker and hillock grains to identify why these particular grains and locations become predisposed to forming whiskers and hillocks. The book discusses the basic properties of tin–based alloy finishes and the effects of various alloying elements on whisker formation, with a focus on potential mechanisms for whisker suppression or enhancement for each element. Tin whisker risk mitigation strategies for each tier of the supply chain for high reliability electronic systems are also described.
- Discusses whisker formation factors including surface grain geometry, crystallographic orientation–dependent surface grain boundary structure, and the localization of elastic strain/strain energy density distribution
- Examines how whiskers and hillocks evolve in time through real–time studies of whisker growth with the scanning electron microscope/focused ion beaming milling (SEM/FIB)
- Covers characterization methods of tin and tin–based alloy finishes such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD)
- Reviews theories of mechanically–induced tin whiskers with case studies using pure tin and other lead–free finishes shown to evaluate the pressure–induced tin whiskers
Mitigating Tin Whisker Risks: Theory and Practice is intended for the broader electronic packaging and manufacturing community including: manufacturing engineers, packaging development engineers, as well as engineers and researchers in high reliability industries.

I knew it would be difficult for this 71 yr-old newbie, so I adjusted and didnt make all the 1 inch square sashings that were so attractive. I incorporated my machine embroidery, applique, and quilting, and thought it turned out nice. I have a special wall I needed to hide some "ugly" and this will do quite well.

Startups bring with them a mix of enthusiasm and uncertainty about the future. A new business in a dynamic and rapidly growing field could earn tremendous sums of money. Tales of startup success stories are filled with the achievements of entrepreneurs and their new businesses. Not every startup, however, succeeds. Even novice entrepreneurs likely realize the risks inherent in launching a new enterprise. Ultimately, the startup must connect with customers in order to do well. Effective marketing plays a significant role in the startup's initial success and future potential.
Marketing serves many different purposes. Among the most basic purposes would be the ability to make potential customers aware of the venture's existence. Branding, promoting special deals and highlighting products and services also factor into a good marketing campaign. A startup truly must get scores of points across to various prospective customers and do so without delay. The startup does need to get cash flow going. Marketing helps with all these important causes.
As a completely new business, a startup enters the market on a total blank slate. No one knows anything about the business. Word of mouth may get a significant portion of information out there, but many times that won't be enough. A proactive marketing strategy must convey critical information about the new startup to the target base. The information cannot ignore very basic points such as what the sector the business is part of and what products or services are offered. Never assume any information is too basic. The public likely knows nothing about a startup beyond what it learns. An initial marketing campaign should try to get basic information across to educate the consumer public and leave limited ambiguity.
The branding of a company establishes a reputation and identity. Effective branding is a long term process that more often than not takes years. Positive customer experiences contribute to positive branding. So do slogans and logos. Crafting an outstanding marketing slogan and devising a brilliant logo may help establish a brand identity along with an intellectual and emotional response relatively quickly. Such work is best not left to amateurs.
Working with a professional service becomes necessary to create great branding materials. The next phase may entail requesting the services of a professional marketing team to get such information out to the public. A well-managed drip email campaign could put an attractive logo and accompanying promotional text in front of many eyes.
Famous startups are intrinsically linked with the biography of the founder. The lives of startup entrepreneurs often become part of business folklore. Many reasons exist for people being enamored with the tales of amazing entrepreneurs. Upon taking all this interest in the person behind the business, it would make sense a mention of the entrepreneur's biography appear in marketing material.
Once again, no one knows much about a startup when it launches. Potential customers may be worried about whether the startup can deliver on promises. A biography revealing the founder's education, experience, philanthropic pursuits, and overall professional goals could establish confidence. Once confidence has been established, customers may be more willing to patronize the business. A savvy entrepreneur may take to social media to further introduce him/herself and build goodwill with the public.
A startup does not have the luxury of cutting back on marketing campaigns and promotional tactics. Reducing marketing efforts cedes the market to better-established competitors. Budget concerns likely come into play when weighing options for continual marketing. Thankfully, low-cost marketing strategies do exist. Running a minimalist, low-cost marketing campaign likely would be much better than doing nothing at all. Some level of marketing can deliver some level of results. No marketing cannot do anything at all. Zero attempts yield zero results.

Hempstead Town Board fills opening created by Mark Bonilla
The Republican-controlled Hempstead Town Board has filled the opening created by the conviction of former Clerk Mark Bonilla by appointing his office's administrative supervisor to the position.
Democrats cried foul after the 6-1 vote at Tuesday's meeting to appoint Nasrin Ahmad, saying it allows her to run as an incumbent in Tuesday's Conservative Party primary and in the general election in November.
"It is not this board's place to predetermine the decision of the voters, nor is it our right to create for any candidate an advantage that improperly influences the voters," said Democratic Councilwoman Dorothy Goosby.
Republicans in May picked Ahmad to run for Bonilla's post; Bonilla was convicted in July of official misconduct. Deputy Town Clerk Phil Guarnieri succeeded Bonilla after he was removed from his post last month. Ahmad, 56, of Salisbury, has been an administrative supervisor in the clerk's office for 15 years.
"The fact that a general election is over two months away has no bearing whatsoever on the actions of this board," said senior town councilman and Nassau County GOP spokesman Anthony Santino. "While the first deputy town clerk is doing a fine job in an interim capacity, it is in fact in the best interest of the people to have an individual actually vested with the authority of the town clerk as the head of that office."
Ahmad will face Patricia A. Basso-Friedman in the Conservative primary. Ahmad also is on the Republican line and will run against the Democratic nominee, insurance law attorney Jasmine Garcia-Vieux, 36, of Levittown, in the general election.
"You're influencing the primary wrongfully," Basso-Friedman, 76, of Garden City, told Town Supervisor Kate Murray.
Ahmad, who was born in Uganda and grew up in India and England, said after the meeting, "The political process will still go on. I'm still going to run the primary and the elections."
Democrats said the board should have followed town code that requires the board to replace any elected official who vacates a position with one of three predetermined successors.
"The only reason to make this appointment is to give Nasrin Ahmad the advantage to run as an incumbent and use taxpayers' money to get her name and picture on town mailings," said Felix Procacci of Franklin Square, the Democratic candidate for supervisor.
But town attorney Joseph Ra said after the meeting that the law refers to naming successors for town supervisor in the event of an attack. The law was passed in 1962 due to the Cuban Missile Crisis, Ra said. "The law of the state . . . gives the town board the authority to appoint in an event of a vacancy," Ra said.

Survival kits or I would rather say emergency kits. The word survival in this day is just too common and has different meanings for different people. So let me present some cool and affordable products that could be a help if ever you are in need of them.
The Magnesium Block . This is a product that is not very popular probably for different reasons. It's not as cool looking as your custom made ferrocium rods, it's cheating having the magnesium with a ferro rod or its hard to scrape off that magnesium in order to have enough to light it up.
Whatever the reasons people give we must take into consideration that this is to be used in my opinion for emergency situations…That's it! When you think that it would be used that way it changes the way we see this product as more of a positive than a negative. Think about this, you have the initial tinder with ferro rod in one place and they are waterproof. I think it's worth it especially at the price this company offers them for a pack of three.
The second product is the famous Paracord Bracelet. This one is not that different from others of its type but there are a few good things to consider. First, the price is very fair. The construction is a well built king cobra weave. The ferro rod that they use as a toggle is a big one 5/16 which makes it much easier to use with the provided round striker to get your fire going and it is adjustable from 7 to 9 inches. Pretty cool!
Last, is the Grenade survival kit. Price wise very good, Lightweight and compact. Good contents inside that could really be used if needed. What I also like is the carabiner for easy storage either it be in your car, backpack with the carabiner it will be easy to get too it if needed.
So anyway let me make it a little easier for you. I made a video about these 3 products that should help you see a lot more of the products than in this blog.
Just click on the Amazon links below if you are interested to purchase.
Thanks again for the time you took to read this blog, really appreciate that.

From the September 2009 Glover Park Gazette:
Tyrone Green is one popular guy. Green, who leases the big, blah six-condo building at 2136 Wisconsin, regularly hosts all-night, open-bar parties for hundreds of people in the space, which is called "Wisconsin Overlook" on invitations. [Its other names include "The Vixen," "Hush @ Le Venue," and "Guest DC."] In April, neighbors began complaining to authorities after a particularly noticeable bash. [Invitation at right.] Though the $25 cover charge meant that alcohol was technically being sold without a license at the event, no government action was taken against Green.
Meanwhile, the parties continued as recently as early August, when revelers gathered to celebrate DC's annual Eritrean festival. "Hours: 2 AM to 7 AM" read the invitation [top]. "Dress code strictly enforced: no rift rafts." A party at the building on July 4 weekend that featured DJs, live music, a photography exhibit, a fashion show, and, naturally, an open bar, was so loud it could be heard inside homes on Tunlaw Road. [Invitation at left.]
Green told us by phone that he has had "three parties" in the building and that they were private and perfectly legal because "nobody pays money to come. I understand that you can't sell alcohol." In fact, no cover charge was listed on the Eritrean party invite, though the July 4th party—a benefit for a tutoring center in Jamaica—required donations of between $30 and $50, according to a listing on Facebook. The Internet contains references to several other paid parties at the building, including one on March 27 that cost $25. [It was $25 at the door; $20 in advance with the pass above.]
City Councilmember Mary Cheh says that the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs and the police department "are on top of this," but that no action can be taken unless Green is "caught in the act" operating a business (such as a nightclub) without several needed government permits. DCRA spokesman Michael Rupert says citizens who observe potentially illegal activity at the building should call 311 and ask for the officer on duty. They can also email Rupert at firstname.lastname@example.com. According to a Cheh staffer, the police department contact in the matter is Lt. Ralph Neal, who is listed at email@example.com or 202-715-7300. [Invitation for a free February 7 party at left.]
The situation may soon resolve on its own, though, since the building is due to be auctioned for back taxes on the weekend of September 11.
Owner David Cameron Someone has been making payments on the delinquent amount, but he owner David Cameron was still $23,036.87 behind at press time, according to the Office of Taxation and Revenue website. Two of Cameron's creditors have also sued to force the property's holding company into involuntary bankruptcy, though another creditor filed a motion to stay the action, according to trollerbk.com, a website that tracks bankruptcy filings.
Green says he has been trying to buy the building himself, and may do so at the tax sale: "My intention is to finish the building," which now features wide-open spaces and blond wood floors. "I don't plan on going anywhere."
Town Hall license suspension
Posted in Glover Park, Restaurants, tagged 2218, ABRA, Town Hall on September 1, 2009| Leave a Comment »
From the September 2009 Glover Park Gazette:
Town Hall at 2218 Wisconsin was shuttered for two days in mid-August and fined $1,250 to settle charges stemming from an incident at the restaurant last year. According to an Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration case report, a 20-year-old woman was in a ladies' room stall on the night of June 29, 2008, when the lights went out. Leaving the stall, she encountered a man who touched her breast and stomach. Friends noted that she was shaken by the incident, though owner Paul Holder wrote in a statement that she initially portrayed the event to him as a "misunderstanding" in which "brief contact was made" as she exited the bathroom.
The woman was at the bar with her brother, who called police to report the inappropriate touching. This triggered an ABRA investigation. The investigator found that the woman, who was underage, had entered the bar using her older sister's photo ID. ABRA also charged that the bar had served alcohol to the woman even though she was under 21; that there had been no Alcoholic Beverage Control Board-approved manager on duty; and that Town Hall had failed to notify ABRA of a new partner in its business. Holder denies these three charges.
In August, Town Hall admitted to having failed to "reasonably ascertain" whether the woman could legally drink, for which it received a two-day license suspension and paid a fine. The other three charges were dismissed, according to ABRA spokesman Bill Hager. The Metropolitan Police Department could not tell us by our deadline the outcome of the misdemeanor sexual abuse complaint, but Holder says that, "to the best of our knowledge," there was no further criminal investigation.

A fully Qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist and a specialist in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy.
In life we sometimes can find we need a little help and sometimes it feels like that help is just not there! Many of my clients say they did not realise how much they were being affected by the thoughts, behaviours and symptoms they were suffering from. It is not until the veil is lifted that you see clearly.
I offer a short course of treatment which provides positive and lasting change as knowledge and understanding cannot be lost. There is no mystery to what I teach. I seek to empower all my clients giving them the confidence and control they need to create the positive change they want.
I offer a free initial consultation to ensure there is no anxiety or financial loss when you choose your therapist. To find out more please call 07791 932 016.
I am also a skilled in sports performance having been involved in sport all my life as a competitor (International standard), Team Coach (university level) and I still compete regularly myself.
I am a fully qualified Hypnotherapist trained at the prestigious C.P.H.T. in London. I hold a DHP in Hypnotherapy and I am a member of the Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH) as well as a member of the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC).
I attend monthly professional development sessions in order to keep my knowledge to the highest standards possible. I am fully insured.
I specialise in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, utilising the latest research from neurosciene in order to be as up to date as possible.

I often find treatment takes place because you know something's not right… you stop receiving treatment when you feel well again or you have made enough progress to be feeling happier!
As a person who have suffered multiple traumas both as a child and as a young adult I have always seen myself as broken in some way. Many of my experiences were hidden from me, in that I had very few memories, but manifested in my life as physical and psychological pain and I was diagnosed with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome). From what I had read and from what my doctors told me I had had to come to terms with the fact that this was something incredibly difficult to treat and recover from, and that it probably was something that I would have to live with for the rest of my life. Prior to starting the hypnotherapy I had suffered from sleep deprivation for many years, but had started suffering from nightmares, anxiety-attacks and was diagnosed with severe depression. It is an understatement that Solution focused hypnotherapy saved my life. Even though it sounds dramatic, it is the truth. After three months of weekly sessions my sleep-pattern is now back to normal, meaning I enjoy full night sleep and rarely suffer from nightmares. I have learned to control my anxiety and I have also gained the confidence to unearth hidden memories. The biggest change that the hypnotherapy has accomplished is that I now look forward to living my life, rather than just surviving it, and that is the greatest gift of all! I no longer regard myself as broken, instead I have mended myself and become something amazing and beautiful!"
Thank you so much Richard for your time and your skills which have given me a new kind of life! A better life! I will always be grateful to you!
Mrs K (Trauma/Depressions)
"I was introduced to Richard at a time when there were a lot of emotionally difficult things going on in my life and although, being a totally non-spiritual cynic, I never thought I'd be the sort of person who ever started a sentence 'My hypnotherapist....' I soon found myself telling friends about the things I had found out in our weekly sessions. For some people hypnotherapy is about giving something up, but for me, it was a form of relaxation and learning. Richard was always kind and empathetic and never seemed fazed by anything I told him. His explanations of the way in which the brain works helped me to understand both my behaviour and that of other people around me, and taught me how to adapt my reactions to situations and individuals in a way that has definitely made me happier. A year on, I still use his relaxation CD if I'm having a particularly stressful time of things, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone who felt that something in their life was not quite right, even if they were struggling to identify what was actually wrong. "
Miss C. (Emotional Control Issues)
I first visited Richard last summer because he offered to help tackle my awful insomnia, which was affecting my family life and work in various negative ways. I'd been having trouble sleeping for several years, and just got used to always being a bit tired (I share a house with small noisy boys!). I admit I'm pretty cynical and was not convinced that much could be done. However, with weekly sessions over the next few months, Richard taught me to look at my situation in a completely different way. As well as learning lots of fascinating science stuff about the brain, he also showed me new and calmer ways to drop off to sleep, and an entirely fresh approach to coping with the horrible fear I had about dealing with the next day. I really enjoyed the good humoured nature of our sessions. I may still be a little sleep deprived, but I no longer lie awake gripped with the terrible anxiety that comes with it, and feel so much more positive thanks to Richard...and bear in mind this comes from someone who was very sceptical about hypnotherapy!

Thursday, June 24, 2010
I've been cleaning up the house and baking and planning for Christopher's graduation party, potting plants and planting squash and tomatoes, and building a fire pit in the back yard. So I have been doing stuff, but not the usual, frantic grading of papers and running around that I normally do. I have to say it's wonderful. I finally got to the library, the dentist, and the post office, and I might even have figured out the opening of the novel that has been daunting me for almost a year now. This is the same one that I wrote the opening two pages 17 times (an actual, counted number) I'm pretty sure I'm sticking to this opening. And I wrote notes on an MG I'm halfway through.
I like vacancy. Even though, by many people standards, this is a nut house with the half dozen animals, the kids and their friends, graduation, packing for the college summer program, and all the rest, there is nothing I actually HAVE to do for the next few days. I guess nothing for me is deciding when I do tasks and not feeling that ever present clock.
I also think down time is essential for writing. I manage to think about writing for short times during the school year, but usually when I'm driving to work, or buying broccoli at the green grocer. It sort of goes like this:
Character is...why is she so...what's that word? The kids would say emo, but she wouldn't. Maybe I could sneak that organic cabbage into the soup - would Philip detect it? Oh no, there's that PTA woman and she's coming toward me. Thank God, she turned. Did she see me? That character needs a name. Something with no snootiness, no Ashleys or Courtneys. Did Emma hand in that permission slip? Maybe an old fashioned name. Oh great, here comes the PTA mom headed right toward me and I think she just recognized me. Laura? Except I think of the Glass Menagerie with that name...bok choy? that's not as pronounced a taste as cabbage....
Once his party is over on Friday, and he's safely at the college summer program that begins on Saturday, I'll have even more nothing. At least for about three weeks or so. Then things start to pick up again around here.
Probably the best thing that's come out of the past few days is that I realized how much I like writing, and how I would be perfectly content to spend all of my time with my hair in a messy pony tail,working on novels. I used to think I needed to go out, to connect with other people, to have a job that forced me to find the mascara tube and shave my legs. Now, I'm thinking more along the Emily Dickinson framework of having a room and some ideas.
Of course the danger of Dickinson's way is that I would wind up spending too much time talking to the cats and probably develop some vague form of agoraphobia about going to the grocery store.
But I think that's okay. I'd rather suffer a little agoraphobia than not have my novel completed. I'm looking at the next few weeks as kind of a rough draft for how I want to shape my life, and I think the first thing I am going to do is make some cuts in a few areas I thought were essential. This time has taught me that what's essential is having time to do "nothing" ---

New Seasons
The second prom is now over and done with and Christopher and I discovered a new species here in South Jersey. It's possible that this species inhabits more high schools, but since his first prom was just attended by us saying goodbye, it was a relatively calm process. No new species.
The second prom introduced us to the group goodbye, and the new species of person: a prom mom. The first picture here is not actually one of those moms, and yes, it's exaggerated, but the overall look, the general impression of that overly accessorized personality is pretty much representative of the prom mom. Maybe shows like Jerseylicious and The Jersey Shore have made this species more normalized so they came out, especially at an occasion like the group goodbye at the senior prom. Since this was not his high school, I didn't know anyone, but after a few minutes, I realized that I had seen them briefly on those idle, rich housewife shows.
They loved the limo: it was one of those superstretch ones that could house a small village. When it drove up and swallowed the kids, it seemed really apropos. I waved to Christopher. He was sitting there in tux number two with his eyes very, very wide. Of course, it could have been optical distress from the glare of the many sequins and sparkles on the dresses which looked something like this:
Tiaras are really, really big in these parts. So are gloves and boas. Wow.
Anyway, once the proms are over and I'm on line buying graduation decorations, it can mean only one thing: summer is nearly here! And that means plans. Tomorrow is my last day of work for six weeks. Now, a friend of mine pointed out that taking care of a house, keeping track of and feeding three kids and half a dozen animals and finishing two novels is not exactly "off" - but in my world, no lesson plans and no students is off. I usually ask my students to have three writing goals a semester, so here are my three summer goals:
1. to finish YA book and MG book (in other words, butt in chair time)
2. to have a yard people can walk through without checking themselves for ticks
3. it's possible that, after nearly four years of living here, I actually might buy curtains. Well, I HAVE bought curtains, ones that looked like they would fit. You really do have to measure first. So it's possible that we will have more than KMart blinds on our windows.
You can bet those prom moms had some pretty amazing curtains.
So what are your goals for the summer?

Prom Personalities
We survived the prom, and I purposely chose the collective pronoun because not having gone to my own prom, I had no idea how many details went into those few hours of fun. I began having wedding preparation flashbacks.
But here he is, minutes before the limo arrived. Doesn't he look de-lighted at his mom taking his picture?
He's slightly happier here. At least he looked up from his texting (if you look closely, you can see his phone in his hand) at his little sister who was taking his picture.
Much happier here - picture taking is almost over at this point and very, very soon, he will make his escape.
After they left, Emma informed me that she wanted a pink limo and went into incredible detail about her future dress, hairstyle and shoes. Oh, the shoes -- orchids (real ones) appliqued on satin.
Philip, on the other hand, began looking at the credit card receipts. He informed me that for less than the cost of the prom, he could go to a water park, order pepperoni pizza every night for ten nights, get a bunch of songs on I Tunes and buy some new sneakers. "It's like you have to spend time with the people from school and pay for it."
I told him that even though the prom was being held in a hotel near Atlantic City, the teachers from school were chaperoning.
"There are teachers there? What? Chaperoning? Are you kidding me? Why would anyone ever spend all that money to go be with them. I just want the cash instead of the prom. The teachers probably don't even pay to go."
To say Philip and Christopher are different kids is to say there is water in the ocean. But the first prom is over.
What I didn't tell Philip is that Christopher is going to hers on Saturday. Yup, two proms in eight days. It's like arranging one last, giant play date.

Centennial 38
The supporters group for the Colorado Rapids is known as Centennial 38. C38 was formed prior to the 2013 season through the collaborative efforts of three separate groups — Class VI, Bulldog Supporters Group, and Pid Army—who unified to form one voice to passionately support the Rapids!
The group's name Centennial 38, colloquially referred to as C38, is a nod to the state of Colorado, which became the 38th state in the Union in 1876, 100 years after the signing of the nation's Declaration of Independence.
The inaugural leadership of C38 consisted of six board members that included two members from each of the former groups. The group now occupies two sections of DICK'S Sporting Goods Park: On the south end of the stadium in Section 117, a standing section where the most raucous, passionate fans can be found singing and drumming for the entire match and section 108, for a top end view with the same zeal found in Section 117.
C38 has exclusive access to members-only events with players and staff, lower ticket prices, and the ability to bring tifo, drums, and noisemakers into the stadium.
In addition to the benefits of membership, prior to every Rapids home match, C38 also hosts the best and largest tailgate in the MLS, open to ALL Rapids fans. They host buses from downtown bars to the stadium with beers to and from the game, and their tailgate features Colorado craft beer and food including fresh-made pizza, hot dogs, and specialty items.
There are no fees to join C38, and joining is as simple as sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com to be added to the mailing list.
Fans are also encouraged to stay connected on Facebook, on Twitter and Instagram @c38sg, on Snapchat @centennial38, and on the official website www.c38sg.com.

Five Pre-Season Questions with Cam Hillis
Cam Hillis had a breakout rookie season for the Guelph Storm leading to a third round selection by the Montreal Canadiens at the 2018 NHL Draft.
The 18-year-old from Enniskillen, Ont., scored 20 goals and 39 assists for 59 points in 60 games representing the highest Storm rookie total since 2001-02.
Hillis took time during Storm Training Camp to answer some questions and share his outlook on the season ahead.
What did you learn the most from your rookie season in the OHL?
"I think just keeping a positive mindset. I think it's a long year and you don't want to get too down on yourself. Kind of staying even keel and using your resources around you was a big thing for me in my rookie year."
How did it feel to be selected by the Montreal Canadiens in June?
"Obviously a huge honour to share that moment with my friends and family who have kind of helped me all the whole way up. To be drafted by the Canadiens, such a storied organization, an original six team, that was a great honour for me."
What has been the best advice you've received since being drafted?
"I think just to take it with a grain of salt. It's only a number and the hard work kind of starts from here. There's stories of all sorts of players drafted in different rounds that make it into the NHL so put in the work and get good habits now and it will pay off in the long run."
What are your personal goals for this season?
"I'd say personal goal for this season is to become more of a complete player. I want to touch up on my offensive instincts too but become more of a well-rounded defender and help my team out on that side of things."
With a lot of returning talent on the Storm this season, how do you like your chances at a Midwest Division title and championship run?
"I think the biggest thing for our team is kind of finding consistency. We know we have a really strong team this year and we're going to have to stay consistent throughout the whole stretch of things and if we do that I think we have a good shot of being a successful team."
This month ontariohockeyleague.com will feature one team each day in advance of the 2018-19 season which begins Wednesday September 19th. See more from the OHL 20 in 20 series.

Toys "R" Us crafts sweeping social campaign for annual fundraiser
For every photo shared using the hashtag, Toys "R" Us will donate an additional toy, or the equivalent cash value, to the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, up to $150,000. Toys "R" Us is utilizing a strong social trend to spread awareness of its efforts and do good this holiday season.
"Each year, Toys 'R' Us customers show their incredible generosity and support of our annual Toys for Tots campaign through in-store and online donations, eager to give back to kids in need and bring smiles to their faces," said Nicole Hayes, assistant manager of public relations at Toys "R" Us, New York. "As part of our fundraising and awareness efforts, we continually leverage social media to engage with our customers and those who support this charitable initiative.
"This year, we're challenging our fans and followers to #PlayItForward by sharing the ultimate 'un-selfie,' which is a photo of themselves donating to Toys for Tots at Toys 'R' Us on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook," she said. "For every donation selfie shared using #PlayItForward, Toys 'R' Us will donate another toy to Toys for Tots.
"We wanted to create a fun and easy way for people to get involved, double the giving and hopefully inspire others to do the same so we can spread the holiday joy even further."
Giving through social
Mr. O'Neal will play Santa Claus for the campaign and encourage the Play It Forward challenge, which is to be "un-selfie" or unselfish and donate a toy in any store across the country and then share a selfie.
Shared selfies garner additional donations from Toys "R" Us.
Participants are also asked to share their selfies on the Toys "R" Us Facebook page at Facebook.com/Toyrus and tag @Toysrus when posting on Instagram and Twitter.
Throughout the campaign, fans of the Toys "R" Us Facebook page and followers on Instagram and Twitter will enjoy exclusive content, such as special messages from Mr. O'Neal, fundraising updates and more.
The company has also created a video series featuring Mr. O'Neal and his explanation of the Play It Forward challenge. Mr. O'Neal will also be occasionally posting on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
On Dec. 2, the toy retailer will triple its gifting through its social media movement designed to kick off the season of giving. On this day, the company will donate two toys to Toys for Tots for every donation selfie posted on social media using #PlayItForward.
The campaign will go through Dec. 7.
A player in mobile
In a recent ad campaign, Toys "R" Us tapped traditional television spots and social media networks in a cross-platform strategy that encouraged consumers to share how toys inspire their everyday lives.
The unveiling of hashtag #LetsPlay was disseminated across the most popular destinations visited respectively by desktop, mobile and tablet users, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube with premier placements on Hulu and Hulu Plus. Content included commercial clips, behind-the-scenes photos and video from the broader "C'mon Let's Play" marketing plan (see story).
In 2013, Toys "R" Us added a mobile component to an annual holiday toy guide that helped parents better understand what kinds of toys are suited for special needs children.
The retailer's Toys "R" Us App Guide for Differently-Abled Kids included a list of 25 mobile applications that were aimed at helping develop creative, critical thinking and fine motor skills. The initiative also helped bolster awareness of Toys "R" Us' branded tablet (see story).
Perhaps its most cherished initiative, Toys for Tots is a program during a busy time of year when Toys "R" Us can extensively leverage the influence of social.
"At Toys 'R' Us, we understand the important role playtime has in a child's life," Ms. Hayes said. "It allows kids to dream, imagine, explore and create lasting memories, and nobody is a greater champion of play or a bigger kid at heart than Shaquille O'Neal.
"At a young age, Shaquille's father gave him a Christmas gift that opened his mind to new possibilities, which was a basketball signed by Dr. J," she said. "And, ever since he made it into the NBA, Shaquille embarked on a mission to deliver gifts to children in need so they can experience that same joy.
"Together, we're asking supporters to help us give the gift of play to those children who need it most. Through the #PlayItForward Challenge, we hope to double the giving and ensure even more kids in need experience the joy of opening a toy on Christmas morning."

In this article I would like to discuss all about free and paid web hosting services. I have used both free and paid hosting services for my blog and website projects.
When it comes to hosting your website on the internet there are just too many ways and too many solutions to go for. It is really very hard to decide since now days you can host a website on the internet for free.
If I can host my internet site for free, then why should I even pay for it? What is the point for paying a monthly fee?
When you are going to host online, these are the things you should give priority:
Your Own Domain Name
Does this web hosting service allows you to use your own domain name, or you have to use a sub domain name like freewebs.com/your-website? It is such an embarrassment when you don't yet have a DOT COM domain name for your website. Only a few of the free hosting services allow you to use your own domain name while most of them allow it when you do a paid upgrade. Your own domain name is professional and brandable.
Website Uptime
Let me explain, you are in a meeting and you want to show your work to a potential business lead. All of your work samples are stored online on your website. You typed your web URL but the site is not loading. It is showing an error like this one "Server is busy, please try again later" –you hit refresh again, but still you see an error. This happens only with a free web hosting provider. The paid ones offer 99% uptime and they guarantee it.
Web Storage
Right now internet websites and blogs don't need much space to host. But when it comes to digital photography and videos, you will need tons of storage. If you are a photographer, you will need a web host that offers plenty of storage for your photos. If you are a movie maker or a video producer, you need terabytes of disk space on the web server. This you can get only from a premium web host.
Forced Advertisement
Some of the popular free web hosting companies put ads on pages to cover up their costs mentioned in this article. While it is okay at this point that they are hosting it for free, but it is not okay for you and your website. Let me bring that example again, you show your website to your client and they get distracted with ads. With free hosting you can't control those ads, let alone removing them. These companies will charge you a fee to go ad free. Instead of paying them extortion money, you can just go for a premium hosting provider.
Security & Backups
Free web hosts are not secure enough. They can also delete your website anytime they want. All of your hard work will simply go down to the toilet in an instant. With free web hosts it is hard or even impossible to take backups. On the other hand, premium providers keep regular backups and their servers are checked for hackers and viruses. They won't delete your website without any strong reasons.
There is a saying "You get what you pay for"
This statement is absolutely correct when it comes to web hosting services. When you decide to go online, you have to make sure your website is live 24/7, is secure and professionally hosted on its own domain name.
So the conclusion is you should stay out of free hosts when using your website for business. But which web host to use?
I recommend you get HostGator or FatCow web hosting. I have used both of the premium hosting providers. Read my hostgator review –it is the service that hosts my blog. You can also read this guide to setup fatcow hosting for less.
Free Web Hosting Services That I Recommend
I didn't say that all of the free providers suck. If you are going online for fun and don't want to pay any money at all then here are 2 of my recommended providers,
- Blogger –Allows you to have your own domain name
- Webs –Free website platform but puts ad on your pages
Also do you know with blogger you can use your own domain name without paying extra money for web hosting? Read about it here.

In business, nothing is free; capital expenditures are necessary to purchase the goods and items necessary to manufacture products. The importance of cost allocation is to help a company determine the amount each item produced will cost. Managerial accounting practices typically provide the tools and guidelines necessary to allocate production costs. A few features relating to the importance of cost allocation include staying on budget, costing goods to meet profit goals, and tracking inefficient or ineffective operations. Different methods are available for these processes, depending on a company's operations.
Budgets are very common in manufacturing firms, the companies that are most likely to produce the goods purchased by consumers. Production operations often have specific budgets they must follow for each item purchased. This is a form of cost control; maintaining low costs ensures any costs allocated do not result in overpriced goods. This can severely reduce a company's profits and produce a dangerous financial situation due to improper cost allocation. Changing allocation methods can help correct this problem.
All companies have some type of profit goals, which they can achieve through the sale of goods and services. Individually, profit is sales price less the cost of an item. Dividing this result by the sales price can give the company its gross profit margin on a per-item basis. In most cases, the only way a company can increase its profit margin is to raise the sales price or reduce costs. Without proper cost allocation practices, a company may not know how to best reduce a product's cost.
Companies can have all manner of inefficiencies or operations that raise costs intermittently. For example, a company may use too many workers to put together a specific product. These additional workers increase the product's costs as the hourly wages must go into the cost allocation process. If managerial accountants can determine where these and other inefficiencies exist, they can remove them from the system. This should improve the company's operations and reduce product costs to a normal range that allows for maximization of profit.
Constant review of a company's cost allocation process should be common. This allows a company to assess how well it operates compared to other businesses in the same market. Other times, a company may try to manage its earnings by going to a different cost allocation method. These changes can move a company from a conservative income approach to an aggressive approach or vice versa.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

There are (by our count) 46 airports in NJ. This is our attempt to chronicle all of them. Essex County Airport (KCDW), which is one of our home bases seemed like a logical place to start.
Essex County Airport (more commonly referred to as Caldwell Airport) is a class-D airport located 12nm NNW of Newark International Airport, sitting under the "inverted wedding cake" of the overlying NY-Bravo.
AvantAir and AirBound. Both are full service FBOs with very professional and courteous staff. There is cheaper fuel elsewhere, but the prices at KCDW are not outrageous. Mechanics shop on field as well. 30 minutes from Manhattan by car. A bit further out than Teterboro (KTEB), but much much much more friendly towards non-jet GA traffic.
If you are unfamiliar with the area, be careful not to confuse Caldwell with Morristown (KMMU), which is just 8nm away, and has a similar runway layout (13-31 & 5-23). It's an easy mistake to make, especially at night. We've heard more than one pilot on the radio with KCDW tower while circling KMMU.
With three flight schools in operation on the field---AirFleet, Century, and AirBound---the tower is accustomed to a lot of traffic, and is used to dealing with student pilots or those not yet familiar with the area. In short, very professional and patient. This does cut both ways. It appears that KCDW tower gets its fair share of trainee controllers as well, so it's a give-and-take sort of situation.
There used to be a nice little restaurant on the field called the 94th Bomb Group Restaurant---a favorite of local pilots. Unfortunately, it went out of business a few years ago, and the site has been paved over and turned into hangars and tie downs. The only dining option within walking distance now is the Crave Restaurant across the street. (The FBOs do have fully stocked vending machines, however.)
