Hey guys,
I'm currently having a very frustrating lagging issue in career mode whilst connected to the internet. I've reset my console numerous times, deleted and created new save files, uninstalled and reinstalled the game and I'm currently at the end of my tether, I bought pc2 3 days ago and only managed to have one race before this issues rendered the game unplayable for me since. Not only did I pay $99 aud for a broken buggy game off the store, I've currently paid $99 for a broken buggy game to play one race! Pretty disappointed currently so if anyone's had the same issue is like to hear you're fixes please.

If you're expecting to find particular a blow job technique or sex positions in this article, we're sorry; all of those small details are completely based on personal preference.
Here instead we will talk about the larger, general 'mistakes' people make that turn enjoyable, fulfilling sexual experiences into ones that leave us wanting more.
We all get caught up about what we think other people are thinking and expecting from us, particularly when it comes to dating and sex. This can mean not telling someone we meet on a dating app what sort of encounter we are truly interested in having, or not letting our partner know what feels good in bed.
But why not tell someone you're only looking for a hookup so there isn't any misunderstanding about having brunch the next day? Why bother to have sex with someone at all if it's not going to be the type of sex that will make you feel good? Sure, you might turn some people off with your honesty, but those aren't the people who were going to be right for you anyway.
Our sexual anatomies are varied (and wonderful), and no one knows exactly how they work like you do. Learn about your own three Ps of pleasure—pressure, pace and place—and don't be too shy to guide your partner's hands or be explicit in letting them know how they can change up any one of those elements.
We've all got our own hang-up when it comes to sexual self-esteem or our own body image, but vocalizing them to your partner –especially when you're trying to feel sexy – empowers the issue to distract yourself from how desirable you actually are to them. Generally speaking, your partner would not be in bed with you unless they found you irresistibly sexy as you are, so own that and enjoy yourself!
We can't always help being distracted during sex, whether stressing about a project we're working on at the office or wishing our dog would stop scratching at the bedroom door, but truly enjoying the sex your having means, well, focusing on the sex you're having.
It can seem like a cruel practice in futility to try and turn your brain 'off' just by thinking it 'turn off brain!' so try this instead: think about each touch and sensation you're feeling on your body and narrate them to yourself. Think 'she just gave me shivers up my spine when she kissed my jaw' or 'I love the way hands are cupping my body.'
While loudly faking an orgasm can be reminiscent of particularly poorly acted porn, staying silent during sex could be equally as uninspiring.
Your light moans, groans and verbalized encouragement show your partner when what they're doing is something you like, and your pleasure and enjoyment shouldn't be something you keep from your partner. (This goes for the chronically-silent gentlemen as well)!

Learn Photo Editing
Photoshop 6 provides a few sample patterns inside the Patterns folder, which lives inside the Presets folder. But if none of those patterns float your boat, you can create your own patterns. Ideally, your pattern should repeat continuously, without vertical and horizontal seams. Here are some ways to create repeating, continuous patterns:
* Load a displacement map: Photoshop offers a Displacement Maps folder inside the Plug-Ins folder. This folder contains several images, each of which represents a different repeating pattern, as illustrated in Figure 7-19. To use one of these patterns, open the image, choose Select ^ All (Ctrl+A), and choose Edit ^ Define Pattern. (For more information on displacement maps, see Chapter A on the CD-ROM accompanying this book.)
* Illustrator patterns: If you open the Presets folder, then the Patterns folder, and then the PostScript Patterns folder, you can find Illustrator EPS files that contain repeating object patterns. The patterns, some of which appear in Figure 7-20, are all seamless repeaters. You can open them and rasterize them to any size you like. Then press Ctrl+A, choose Edit ^ Define Pattern, and you have your pattern.
* Using filters: As luck would have it, you can create your own custom textures without painting a single line. In fact, you can create a nearly infinite variety of textures by applying several filters to a blank document. To create the texture shown in the top row of Figure 7-21, for example, I created a new 200 x 200-pixel image. I then chose Filter ^ Noise ^ Add Noise, entered a value of 64, and selected the Gaussian radio button. I pressed Ctrl+F twice to apply the noise filter two more times. Finally, I chose Filter ^ Stylize ^ Emboss and entered 45 in the Angle option box, 2 in the Height option box, and 100 in the Amount option box. The result is a bumpy surface that looks like stucco.

Figure 7-20: A random sampling of the illustrations in the PostScript Patterns folder, found inside the Presets/Patterns folder.
To get the second row effects in Figure 7-21, I started with the noise pattern and applied Filter ^ Pixelate ^ Crystallize with a Cell Size of 10 pixels. Then I again applied the Emboss filter with the same settings as before. To create the third row of textures, I started with a blank image and chose Filter ^ Render ^ Clouds. Then I applied the Emboss filter with an Amount value of 500. To punch up the contrast, I choose Image ^ Adjust ^ Auto Levels (Ctrl+Shift+L).
I could go on like this for days. To learn more about filters so you can make up your own textures, read Chapters 10 and 11. Chapter 10 covers Add Noise; Chapter 11 explains Emboss, Crystallize, and Clouds.
* Marquee and clone: You can use the rectangular marquee and pattern stamp tools to transform an image into a custom pattern. Because this technique is more complicated as well as more rewarding than the others, I explain it in the following section.
Noise x3 Emboss, 100%
Crystallize Emboss, 100%
Emboss, 500%
Figure 7-21: To create a stucco texture, apply Filter ^ Noise ^ Add Noise three times in a row (upper left, upper right, lower left). Then choose Filter ^ Stylize ^ Emboss and enter a Height value of 1 (lower right).

Taskmoby Application is a product of Africa 118 that deals with connecting qualified service providers with users in need of their services in their area. The product works on a demand basis where people in need make the requests online through the application or offline by calling the Customer care number 8191.
Having been launched in Ethiopia in December 2018, the application was put to a pilot phase where we received a positive feedback from the locals who started making requests for the services. The services highly demanded are electrical and plumbing services. Over time, the application aims to open up to even more categories for the public and make it easy to solve the common issues experienced at home.
Another positive aspect is that, the Taskmoby Application shows a good feedback as more vocationally trained youths seem open to it as it helps them have access more jobs and create their independence. This in turn helps reduce the unemployment rates in Ethiopia, and reduce the have been thought that to make an income you need to be employed. The application makes it possible for the service providers to work at their own time and helps them manage themselves more effectively and earn a living.
The efforts of Taskmoby have not gone unnoticed as we were recently recognized by Addis Ababa Construction Bureau (AACB), a body of the government that works to offer training and certifications for the vocationally trained, and University graduates, in the construction and consulting fields. AACB helps send out qualified people to the market and Taskmoby provides a platform that makes it possible for them to access these jobs.
AACB and Taskmoby having similar goals, decided to form a partnership to help all this come out to play in a very seamless way. On Saturday, March 9th, 2019, the two organizations signed an MOU to begin working together with this common agenda, creating more jobs for the youth in the construction industry.

Tooth & Tails's charity of the year is Guide Dogs UK!
We've personally experienced just how much a guide dog can change the life of someone with visual impairments and we are extremely excited to be able to help a much deserved charity. If you would also like to help, please take part in our competition to get the chance to name a guide dog puppy!
A name is the first gift that a guide dog puppy receives. Whether in memory of a loved one or a name that has inspired you, your gift will give a very special puppy a very special story that we will share with you.
It costs over £5,000 to breed and walk each guide dog puppy. Furthermore, the lifetime cost of a guide dog is over £55,000. Your gift will help Guide Dogs transform the lives of people who are blind or partially sighted.
Donate a name
When we reach our target of £2,500, we'll randomly select one of our donors and you'll get to name a guide dog puppy (name subject to approval)
We'll send you a puppy pack, including a photograph of your puppy you have named aged between 6–8 weeks and a birth certificate.
How can you Name a Puppy?
Naming a puppy isn't just about giving a gift to Guide Dogs; it can also be a tribute to a loved
one and a way for their memory to live on. It's a lovely way to leave your mark and we will ensure that this most special of gifts is treasured and used to transform lives.
Our progress so far…
Any questions?
Will my puppy definitely become a guide dog?
No. We have a world-class breeding and training programme and every year a high percentage of our puppies go on to become working guide dogs. In a few cases, dogs aren't able to achieve the high standards we need and don't make it through. If this happens to your named dog during your sponsorship period, we'll ask you if you'd like to name another puppy as a replacement. Once the sponsorship period you have selected is completed, we are unable to provide further information on the progress of the dog you have named.
I've heard some dogs become 'breeding stock' rather than guide dogs. What does that mean?
'Breeding stock' basically means mums and dads. These dogs have such great potential that they're chosen to bring the next generation of guide dog puppies into the world. We choose these parents around the time they would be going to training school, so if you're the lucky sponsor
of one of these very special dogs, you'll still get the same updates and photos.
Does my money go directly to the pup I have named?
Your donations will be spent wherever the need is greatest and could be used for a host of things such as food, training and vets bills. All donations will help provide independence and
freedom for people who are blind or partially sighted.
How should I choose a name?
Make sure that names you settle on are two syllables long and don't sound like dog training commands such as 'sit', 'wait' and 'stand'. Avoid anything that might be embarrassing for a
Guide Dog Owner to have to call in public. Don't worry if you're not sure whether your names fit these criteria – we'll check them for you. We ask for a male name and a female name. If neither of the names you've chosen can be used we'll ask you to suggest a couple more.
Will the puppy be placed near me?
The pup's training needs are the most important thing for us to consider, so it's vital that they are placed with the most appropriate puppy walker. The puppy will be placed within a reasonable travelling distance from where you live or work, but due to the limited number and availability of puppy walkers, unfortunately you will not be able to make a specific location request in this respect.
When can I meet the puppy?
We need to make sure that the pup is healthy and settled with their puppy walker before they meet you, so we don't arrange visits before puppies are 17 weeks old. Some puppies take longer than others to get settled, so you might have to wait longer to meet the puppy.
Can I meet the puppy again?
It's really important that our puppies focus on their training so we offer one visit on the
Walk scheme, and two on the Learn and Guide schemes. Your updates will keep you up to date with how the puppy you have named is getting on before and after these.
Can I choose a specific breed or colour of dog?
We are unable to specify the breed or colour of the guide dog puppy you will be naming;
however, we can guarantee that they will be adorable!

She was then offered a Design Research Scholarship and a full UCA Studentship to undertake a PhD in the Creative Arts, completed in 2015 for the University of Brighton. The research project was entitled: "Beyond the Physical Threshold: Enfolding the Ontology of Immersive Environments" and attempted to theorise an artistic practice that is ontologically architecturalised. Liana is currently a senior lecturer at the Arts and Humanities Department, University of Suffolk at Ipswich, UK. Her work has been exhibited and published internationally.
As an architect by training and an artist by practice, I see myself as a conceptual space maker, fascinated by the poetics of immersive spaces. My art practice concentrates on the production of environments that challenge the visitors' perception of space as related to the triplet of mind-body-surroundings.
In my work, I use architectural elements, physical objects, immaterial components, video, drawing, and photography to create site-specific situations and immersive events. I contextualise my practice, which examines the reception of sensations and the creation of affects, through theories of neuroaesthetics and the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Brian Massumi, with a focus on the concept of event.
I believe that space gives us its atmosphere and we give back our affects. Our experiences are temporal journeys of mood, memory and emotion. We sense and feel. We feel and think. We think and respond. We respond and create.

WILKES-BARRE — The issue of Mayor Tony George's acceptance of a $280 gift card from RC Theatres last year opened discussions at Thursday's council meeting.
"To me, it comes down to an appearance problem," Councilman Tony Brooks said during council remarks following two unanimous votes on routine city business.
George's administration asked council in December to authorize officials to submit a $500,000 Local Share Account grant application on behalf of RC Theatres to the Commonwealth Financing Authority along with several other grant application requests from other businesses and organizations in the city.
The grant would help pay for $3 million in renovations, including luxury seating.
George said on Wednesday there was no conflict of interest because he believes his administration forwards all such grant requests to council, and it's council's call on whether or not to approve them.
Council approved the theater request with a 3-2 vote, with Brooks and council members Mike Belusko and Bill Barrett supporting it; Beth Gilbert and Mike Merritt were opposed.
Brooks commended George for reporting the gift on the statement of financial interest for 2018 he filed last week with the city clerk, which Brooks described as "the legal thing to do."
"But none of us should take gifts of any kind whatsoever," Brooks said.
New law needed?
Brooks said he and Gilbert had on previous occasions discussed legislation that would prohibit city officials from accepting any contributions.
Gilbert said she concurred with Brooks' remarks. She posted earlier Thursday on her council Facebook page that while she would "reserve judgment" on the gift to George, "I think it speaks to a larger issue that occurs more often than we like to admit on a local level."
"Public officials consistently take donations and gifts from contractors and businesses within the city. To me, one cannot remain impartial if they accept such gifts and donations," Gilbert wrote, adding that she has pledged in the past that she will never accept campaign contributions or gifts from contractors or businesses who conduct business for or within the city, and she made the same pledge again.
"Furthermore, I am willing to propose legislation to ban gifts and contributions from businesses and contractors to candidates in the city," Gilbert wrote.
New revenue expected
Also during council remarks, Brooks noted that he spoke with an official from the Luzerne County Transportation Authority about the transit agency board's plan to purchase the Murray Complex site along South Pennsylvania Avenue and move its headquarters there from Kingston, as well as the shared ride program operations from Forty Fort.
The agency board voted unanimously on Tuesday to enter negotiations with Siniawa 16 LP to buy the 11.6-acre site.
"If it all works out, that's 170 jobs that would come to Wilkes-Barre," Brooks said, which he estimated would mean nearly $8,000 in additional Local Services Taxes and an additional 1 percent of salaries of non-resident LCTA employees in earned income taxes coming to the city.
Brooks said he broached the subject of the LCTA making payments in lieu of taxes to the city and told city Administrator Rick Gazenski he would set up a meeting for them to discuss the topic with LCTA officials.
Homeless a concern
During public comment, resident John Suchoski said there's a "tent village" of homeless people currently set up on the Murray Complex property behind the one dilapidated building on the site.
"Is the city going to do anything to fix that situation?" he asked.
Gazenski said the "tent city" would be "eliminated" and "taken care of" prior to the demolition of the building at the Murray site.
Gilbert suggested that the administration should "be a little more proactive" in dealing with the homeless situation "rather than waiting until construction is occurring and we're basically pushing these people out of there."
Joyce Zaykowski, director of Economic and Community Development, said there are programs that offer assistance to the homeless that include counseling, temporary housing that can lead to permanent housing and training programs to reteach life skills.
Merritt added that city also should be active in addressing the homeless in other places in the city, including Nesbitt and Kirby parks.

What have I seen this month and loved? What do I want in my new house once it's complete? What do I not want to forget about? All very important questions and ones that I do not want to lose sight of! As such, I will be pulling together a once-a-month wish list of all the things I have seen and would like in my house.
This month I've been finalising the kitchen order, searching for bathroom tiles and thinking about unique furnishings to add into my home. In doing so, I came across these great products and only thought it right to include them in this month's post.
I came across this spectacular 1) Timothy Oulton Saddle Chair on Instagram, a post by Barker and Stonehouse, and fell in love with it! Up until my late teens I was an avid horse rider, I lived and breathed the sport. I therefore have a strong connection to all things equestrian, so when I saw this leather chair in the style and shape of a saddle, it made me smile. What a unique piece of craftsmanship, not only is it different, quirky and original but it is practical and in essence, a classic piece of english furniture. Just fab!
Worktops, worktops, worktops…. yes, there are a lot to choose from!! Whilst finalising my kitchen plans and appliance selections at the Tom Howley showroom, I had the mighty task of deciding on a kitchen worktop. Now, in my mind this is an extremely important element of the kitchen. It is such a tactile piece, one that you touch every signal day, whether it be while you sit around the breakfast bar drinking your morning coffee or whilst rustling up a (delicious!) meal for the family. It is also one of the most visual elements of the kitchen (perhaps after the unit doors). The colour, the density and the feel of it, must be right.
A worktop that has caught my eye and stands out above all the rest is a quartz worktop by 2) Silestone Worktops – Colour Yukon. It is clean, crisp, yet has a lovely depth of colour, and exudes quality. This has made the wish list.
Shopping for tiles is another minefield. There are literally thousands upon thousands of styles, shapes, colours and patterns to choose from. The ones that I love at the moment (and I say at the moment, because once I start my proper search this will no doubt change!), are these 3) Brick Vintage Metro Tiles. They are unlike the neat geometric brick tiles that I have seen in many places, as they have a slightly bumpy edge and uneven surface which causes the light to fall differently on each tile. They are both modern and rustic. I like them!
Back to the kitchen, and high on my wish list is a 4) Quooker Boiling Tap. I just have to have one! Get rid of the ever accruing limescale kettle and give me a tap which provides immediate boiling water for making tea/coffee or cooking with. Fewer appliances which means less kitchen clutter and a quicker cup of tea!
Next on my wish list is a project; 5) DIY Coffee Table made from a tree stump. Whilst at my parents house, I was outside in one of their fields and spotted a collection of large rustic logs from trees which had recently been chopped down. Immediately I asked my dad what he is planning to do with them and whether I could nab one. He said yes! My plan is to convert it into a coffee table with a little neatening up (tidy up the rough edges) and applying some wax to bring out the grain. Watch this space for the finished product…!
Whilst on the topic of wood and trees, I love 6) Cole and Son – Woods Wallpaper. I had it in my previous home (in the cloakroom) and I have it currently in the office. This is definitely here to stay and will be making an appearance in the house once it's complete!
I hope you have enjoyed taking a glimpse into the things I love this month!

Introducing our new standards for essential services
Millions of people with mental health problems struggle to use essential services because of difficulties making phone calls, opening post or filling in complex forms.
We've launched the first ever Mental Health Accessible standards to help essential services firms – such as banks, energy suppliers and water companies – better understand the challenges that customers with mental health problems face, and to make their services easier to use.
Why the standards are needed:
Our research shows that:
- More than half of people with mental health problems (54%) have serious difficulties using the phone to carry out essential admin
- More than one in five (22%) people with a recent mental health problem have had a panic attack while dealing with essential services
These challenges leaves many people with mental health problems out of pocket, and stuck with services they don't want or need. Even worse, they make people feel distressed or even suicidal, just trying to get a basic service like banking or electricity.
How the standards will work:
We will use the standards to test firms on how accessible their services are for people with mental health problems, and then make recommendations on how they can improve.
We'll be testing firms on:
- How well they train and prepare their staff to support customers with mental health problems
- Whether they offer a wide range of communication channels, so that people can get in touch whichever way suits them best
- What tools and support they offer to help people stay on top of things when they're unwell.
We're pleased to be partnering with Lloyds Bank plc to pilot the standards. Lloyds will be the first bank to be assessed against these new standards, and is committed to using this insight to improve access to their services for people with mental health problems.
How to get involved:
If you work for an essential services firm, we want you to get involved.
By signing your firm up to be assessed against the Mental Health Accessible standards, you'll get a unique insight into the experiences of the one in four of your customers experiencing mental health problems every year, and how to help them get a fair deal.
To find out more, contact us at email@example.com, or using the button below.
This project has been made possible through support from the Inclusive Economy Partnership – which is driven by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport and the Cabinet Office – and Nesta.

Ericsson Interview Experience - Noida , 26th Nov 2018
The profile for which they intended to recruit was AET(assistant engineer trainee) introduced not more than that of 1-2 years ago.
There were almost 256 students from JIIT and all it's sister universities. Being an ECE graduate, Ericsson sounded a good opportunity for me.
The recruitment process started with an aptitude test taken by cocubes consisting REASONING, ENGLISH and QUANT.
Total time allowed was 45 mins and 15 questions in each of the sections where you can switch between the sections.
LR part is quite a time-consuming one which you can tackle with some practice of puzzles, sitting arrangements, blood relations, and data sufficiency questions.
Some questions were from flowcharts that you might not have seen in regular aptitude trend. I would suggest you not to waste your time on a puzzle that you can't solve (a 2 variable puzzle can be solved easily with some practice but still can't say that one can always solve that easy since it depends on the information given in the question). The difficulty level of this part was moderate to high and it was time taking.
One reading comprehension in which I had some difficulty to understand so I did not invest much time reading it thoroughly.
Some of the questions were from basic English grammar which you can easily give a hit but still with some understanding since grammar was a bit trickery too.
5-6 questions were from synonyms and antonyms out of them 50-60% were moderate. The overall level of English was moderate.
Quant section was a blend of 4-5 easy questions and 10-11 moderate to high-level questions. The questions were from compound and simple interest, ages, numbers, permutations, percentage, profit and loss and time-work.
Some questions in cocubes are made only to skip since it is not affordable to waste time in a shorter time span of 40-45 minutes. So I would suggest not to involve in any question that you can't solve in one go. Altogether, the quant section was time taking and the difficulty level was moderate to high.
On the basis of online test, 56 out of 256 were shortlisted for further rounds.
The next round was a tech interview followed by a HR interview.
Technical Round :
Here I will discuss a cumulative approach, how you can prepare for TR rather than mentioning the exact questions that were asked.
Ericsson interviewers were very supportive and jolly nature people same as I have read on IndiaBix before my interview and felt the same during the interview.
You must have your fundamentals cleared because they do not ask much in deeper but indeed they try to have an overall view of what have you studied in entire graduation.
Most of the questions were from communication (go through the basics of analog and digital communication, only the fundamentals).
You may expect questions from switching and networking so get ready with the routing, switching and basic concepts of networking.
They asked me questions from OSI and TCP/IP suite and tried to delve a bit deeper. So study about OSI and TCP/IP suites and have some fair knowledge about protocols that are assigned in each layer.
The rest of the questions were from telecom, such as TDMA to OFDMA, GSM to LTE call FLOW (I was asked how does a prepaid call takes place in real time) and read about the architectures of various generations (2G, 3G, 4G).
You might face some random questions that you might not answer(only to check your confidence). Don't give wrong answers repeatedly if you don't know rather say a clean 'NO'.
Also, you should go through ERICSSON where they deal, what services do they provide etc. You also may be asked to discuss your projects.
The key to crack TR is your sheer confidence and a clear sense of knowledge about technical fundamentals.
Later on, almost 25-26 were selected after the HR interview.
Best of luck guys ! blessings of god !

Congratulations to the Toms! Vanderpump Rules stars Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz celebrated Tom Tom's first anniversary in Los Angeles on Monday, August 12, by sharing a tender moment with one another.
Sandoval, 36, took to Instagram to mark the momentous occasion by posting a photo of him and his business partner locking lips. "HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!" he captioned the sweet snap, which was taken in front the pair's famous kissing photo that is on display at the popular bar.
"Started from a Craigslist ad … and now we're here!" continued the Missouri native, referencing how he first met Schwartz, 36, thanks to the classified advertisements website.
Tom Tom, which is co-owned by Lisa Vanderpump and her husband, Ken Todd, formally opened its doors in August 2018. About a month before the bar's official opening, it was celebrated with a star-studded party attended by Schwartz's wife, Katie Maloney, and Sandoval's girlfriend, Ariana Madix. Vanderpump Rules costars Stassi Schroeder, Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright also showed their support at the soiree.
On its first birthday, the bar hosted a function of a different kind — the Vanderpump Rules season 8 finale party — which LVP referenced in her own anniversary post on Instagram. "What an incredible season," the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum wrote. "I love each and every one of you @tomtom #1YearAnniversary #PumpRules." Like Sandoval, the Brit also shared the snap of the Toms smooching in front of their kissing photo.
Believe it or not, recreating that pose has become a tradition of sorts for Tom Tom fans, including several famous ones. When Chrissy Teigen and husband John Legend stopped by the bar in February, the pair promptly mimicked the photo by sharing a kiss of their own in front of it. "It was just a really cool vibe. It was a good group of people," Teigen, 33, told Us Weekly of her visit. "We really enjoyed it. And it's just down the street from our house so that was a major selling point."
Newlyweds Darren Criss and Mia Swier popped in Tom Tom in March and tried their hands at recreating the kissing photo too. "So great hanging out with these cute newlyweds!" Sandoval wrote on Instagram at the time. "Such great people."

Have you ever wondered what people think about the Hitachi Vibrator and why this device is so popular? I mean, it's been featured on many adult movies and even referred to as the "Cadillac of Vibrators" on the popular HBO series, Sex and the City.
It's not like there aren't hundreds of massager manufactures that exist who haven't created a similar product. The truth is, there is a few companies who actually produce a very high end massager which has many more features than the Hitachi Vibrator. So if different companies produce a better product, why do Hitachi Vibrators still sell out everywhere and are know around the world as the "Best Massager" money can buy.
Lelo, a Swedish company, makes a wonderful massager that is considered the "Ferrari of Massagers" but it still doesn't compare to the Hitachi Vibrator. Let's take a look at their Smart Wand Large which is their largest cordless massager and the most comparable to the Hitachi Vibrator:
The Smart Wand Large is fully waterproof, cordless and comes with a 1-year warranty which seems fantastic doesn't it? So why would anyone choose the Hitachi Vibrator over the Lelo Smart Wand? Well, there are a number of reasons why but let us give you our main input as to why the Hitachi Vibrator is better in many ways. First and foremost, the price is the main issue here. The Smart Wand Large comes in at a price of $169-$189, depending on the color you want. The Ivory colored LELO shown comes in at a price of $189.
The Hitachi Vibrator is currently priced at $54.95 which is a third of the price of the Lelo. Now think about that for a second. You can buy three Hitachi Vibrators for the price of one Lelo Smart Wand. With the average life expectance of 6-10 years with any Hitachi Vibrator purchase under normal use, it's definitely something to consider.
The Hitachi Vibrator also comes with a cord which means you can get constant power for at least 25 minutes and will never worry about being let down right when you need it the most. You know exactly what we mean by this right? 🙂
We can keep going on and on about the pros of the Hitachi Vibrator but we truly want you, the consumer, to make your choice and be happy with it. The Lelo Smart Wand is a fantastic massager and very well performing so it's something to think about. Compare the pros and cons of both items and let us know what you think? You can contact us anytime if you need additional information about these massagers.

About Non profit organizations and their management
As the name suggests, a non-profit organization is an association or a group established with the objectives of serving the people rather than profit motive. Non-profit organizations can be individuals, like self-help groups or formal associations. Voluntary organizations, philanthropic societies, social service associations and charitable trusts are some of the examples of non-profit organizations. Although most governments and government agencies also come under non-profit organizations, in most countries they are considered a separate type of organization and not counted as NPOs. In many counties, NPOs are exempt from income and property taxes.
In the United States alone, there are over one million large non-profitable organizations registered with the Internal Revenue Service. In addition, there are numerous smaller associations with annual revenues of less than $50,000 that are not registered with the IRS. The total revenues of non-profit bodies in US are estimated to be a little over 6 percent of the country's economy. This sector employs around 10.2 million persons. Most non-profit entities are registered into corporations under the Corporation Laws of a particular State. Corporations are, in general, required to pay federal income taxes on their net earnings. However, Section 501 of the Internal Revenue Code details certain circumstances under which corporations or unincorporated non-profit organizations are exempt from these taxes. These include organizations established for charitable, religious, scientific or educational purposes, and those that do not distribute any part of their income among their members.
Tax exempt non-profit organizations operate like any other business units. They maintain bank accounts, own productive assets, receive donations, make investments and employ staff. The major difference is, however, in the nature of activities of NPOs. Non-profit organizations may be associations or trusts. The organization may be controlled by its members who elect the Board of Directors, Board of Governors or Board of trustees. Non-profit organizations or associations have excellent networking and organizing skills. These organizations render yeoman service to the society by providing material help and support in times of natural calamities, like floods, fire and earthquakes. In many countries, especially in developing countries, NPOs are the first ones to reach the affected areas. For example, when floods submerge several villages and people are marooned without food, drinking water and shelter, volunteers from NPOs drop the food packets and drinking water sachets from helicopters and wherever possible, they evacuate affected people to safer places. These non-profit organizations, in most cases supplement the work of Government agencies.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute are two of the wealthiest non-profit organizations in the United States. Outside the US, another large NPO is the British Wellcome Trust, a non-profit charitable trust. In addition, there are also millions of smaller NPOs that undertake social services and relief measures. Some non-profit organizations are particularly renowned for the charitable or social nature of their services carried out over a long period of time. These include, Amnesty International, Rotary International, Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Red Cross, UNESCO and IEEE. Many NPOs often use the .org or .us or .edu top-level-domain (TLD), when choosing a name for the domain to distinguish themselves from commercial entities, which use the .com space.

Thanks to everyone who joined and supported the 2017 Social Innovation Academy last week in Madrid. We packed so much learning, networking and skills building into three sunny days and it was a privilege to come together to explore social innovation, digital inclusion and accessibility, prototyping, fundraising, impact investment, scaling, communications, pitching and more.
The Academy is arranged for the 30 semi-finalists to learn, grow and plan for the future – particularly in how they develop their idea ahead of submitting a detailed project plan for the jury to review.
Based in citizen-led innovation space Medialab-Prado, we were joined by brilliant speakers, coaches, and workshop hosts from leading social innovation organisations across Europe sharing their insights and tips on how to succeed as a social entrepreneur. With expert advice and one to one, tailored coaching on one side, another of the most valuable aspects of the academy is the peer to peer support. Semi-finalist Juliette Piazza, founder of Inclusight said of fellow semi-finalists:
"We are all social entrepreneurs coming from different European countries. All at very different stages in our projects. All from different cultures. I've just shared and learned so much from them. I've met partners and I even met friends."
At the end of the academy all 30 semi-finalists practiced pitching their idea to the jury, their coaches, mentors and each other at our partner Impact Hub Madrid's beautiful co-working space. Faced with the 'timekeeping gong' to mark the end of their 90 second pitch, this was not an easy task!
We're thrilled the Academy was such a success, and we're particularly inspired by all of the collaboration, partnership building and sharing that we saw. We look forward to seeing these ideas develop and we wish all our semi-finalists good luck with the rest of their journey through the competition!
The 10 finalists will be announced in late September so keep following us on Twitter @EUSocialInnov for our latest updates and insights to social innovation from across Europe and beyond. And keep your diaries free for 26 October when three 2017 winners will be announced in Brussels. In the meantime, have a look at our Flickr pageto see more of what we got up to in Madrid!

How To Financially Start Your Life Before You're 30
Adolescence is the most beautiful and essential phase of our lives. One would trade anything to go back and live that most satisfying phase all over again, and again. It is THE important phase, where you will dream, plan, and struggle to make your future bright.
Though one can do an innumerable number of things before the age of thirty, the article focuses on the things you need to do as a student or graduate to have a financially independent life in the future.
10 Tips To Financially Start Your Life
Know your credit score
Less than half of the young adult population in the US has ever heard of credit score. And I bet very few of them had accessed their scores by ordering a free credit report. Do you know that one can request a free credit report once a year from three credit reporting agencies – Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian?
Credit scores are increasingly becoming the important aspect of our daily financial lives. Having a good score from the start helps you to obtain different types of loans at low-interest rates with proper repayment terms.
A high credit score helps you to save a couple of thousands on your loans as well as let you qualify for far better private loans for students and insurance premiums. Just follow one basic rule to improve your credit score is simple – pay debt on time.
Student loans can snowball into surmountable debt – don't ignore them.
The total burden of student loan debt in the US is over $1.48 trillion as per the latest available statistics. Most of the students plan to pay off the debt as soon as they graduate, but they stumble when faced with the reality of working life post-graduation.
In addition to the loan debt, students also pay for their credit card, the kicking in of monthly payments for credit cards, mobile bills, utilities, and rent eats up more than half of the salary. Try to clear of your student loans by limiting expenses on other activities for a while. Prepare a monthly and annual budget and stick to it.
Too young for tax planning
One need not be an expert on finance to understand taxation. There are numerous online tools that help you to understand and save on taxes. Taxes come as a disguise in blessing for those with student loan debts, where one can deduct up to $2,500 from your taxable income as student loan interest.
Living at your parents' home
Though staying at your parents is not everyone's cup of tea, it would help those having exuberant student loan debts with one most significant monthly expense – Rent.
Trust me when I say, if you can save on rent – DO IT!
Rent is the biggest expense that the average household pays on a monthly basis. Not to mention hidden fees such as utility bills, and that broken geyser you just can't afford to fix.
The best part about taking the break is that you can actually look at setting yourself up properly. Perhaps even invest into a property instead of battling monthly with rent.
However, to do this – you need to put on your financial smartypants, and pay attention to mortgage rates, and all of the hidden fees involved.

Reconsider your big-ticket purchases
Every student, while at college, dreams on spending their salary on new cars, vacations, and parties, once they graduate with a cushy job in hand. If you end up spending more than half of your monthly salary on such things, you need to reconsider your budgeting sheet. Try to avoid any big-ticket purchases until you are thirty. Material possessions cannot buy or bring happiness and moreover puts your future financial planning in a hot spot.
Refinancing student loans
Try to pay off a big chunk of your student loans early, which not only helps you to lead a financially independent life but improves your credit score in a big way. There are many startups that help you to refinance both public and private student loans based on the market condition. Even with a 0.5 percent decrease in interest rate, you may end up saving a couple of thousand dollars, which also reduces minimum monthly payments.
Alumni-backed student loans
There are online personal financing companies that consolidate student loans and cuts down the loan interest rates with backing from your college or university alumni. One can search for them online or enquire the financial aid and alumni departments at your college.
Save, save, and save money
Finally, the most overused and under-followed word when it comes to finances – SAVE money. You have heard it from parents, friends, peers, and professors, but no one cares about it until it's too late.
The world in the future may be completely different than today – hyperinflation, wars, famine, or peace – come what may, one need to be prepared by having some sort of savings (not only money) for the future. Ever heard of saving for a rainy day story?
Ask your future employer!
Your future employer can help you to pay off outstanding loans. One can always negotiate to make paying monthly student loans as part of the compensation package, and recruiters do consider the deal, to retain top talent. Some corporate companies do offer student loan payoff programs as well; keep an eye out for them.
Marriage and kids are expensive
Marrying and raising children is a beautiful experience in our life, but quite costly. One needs to plan very well in advance, both professionally and personally.
Do wait to start a family till you reach thirty, where one can be in a position to financially afford the expenses. Hopefully, you do have ample time upon graduation till you reach 30 to pay off a significant chunk of student loans and plan for the future.
The best way to live life is by being content with all you have – family and friends, though little savings wouldn't hurt.

Introduction to Research
Under the current social situation which has a lot of complicated and difficult problems, such as an environmental problem, development of an advanced production system producing a competitive product with saving resources and energy is desired. Process Systems Engineering (PSE) is a research area where the systematic methodology for realizing such an innovative production system is investigated. PSE covers all aspects of design, operation, control, planning, and logistics for the process industries. Current research topics are as follows:
Development of a new fundamental approach to design, operation, and control of micro chemical processes
In microspaces, viscous force, surface tension, conduction heat transfer, and molecular diffusion become dominant. These features achievable in microspaces make it possible to handle highly exothermic/endothermic and rapid reactions and to produce fine particles with narrow size distribution. The final goal of this research is development of a new fundamental approach to design, operation, and control of micro chemical processes. Now, we are conducting researches into modeling and simulation for microreactor design. In addition, we are currently developing a physical model-based process monitoring system which is applicable for diagnosing faults such as channel blockage and catalyst deterioration in microreactors.
Process data analysis
We develop and implement the quality estimation and abnormal detection system based on daily operation data obtained from various kinds of processes such as chemical, steel, pharmaceutical, and semiconductor processes. Recently, our focus has been on just-in-time modeling methods, which can cope with change in process characteristics, and modeling methods using spectroscopic data.
Synthesis of environmentally benign processes and Development of decentralized supply chain management system
Most of the waste products in process industries still have unused properties. By using such properties at other processes, the total capacity of the wastes can drastically be reduced. From that viewpoint, we are developing a process synthesis method by which appropriate process structures of a waste are systematically generated.
We have developed an autonomous decentralized scheduling system, in which each scheduling sub-system of a production stage generates a plausible schedule taking into account the schedules of other production stages. Now the extension of the proposed framework to the planning and scheduling of overall supply chain is being studied.

Hodge has been president of the Tax Foundation in Washington, D.C., since 2000, and is recognized as one of Washington's leading experts on tax policy, the federal budget, and government spending. Since taking over the Tax Foundation, he has grown the organization from a modest, six-person group with a storied brand into a national powerhouse with a staff of over 30 that is informing smarter tax policy at the federal, state, and global levels. Scott led the development of the Tax Foundation's most successful programs, the Taxes and Growth Dynamic Tax Modeling project and the State Business Tax Climate Index, two projects that have changed the terms of the tax debate, encouraged competition towards pro-growth tax policies, and demonstrated to policymakers and taxpayers alike the impact of the tax code on our daily lives. Combined with his experience in tax policy of more than 35 years, Scott was one of the driving forces of tax reform that culminated in the historic 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). Congress and the White House turned to Scott and the Tax Foundation for guidance in crafting the once-in-a-generation legislation. The TCJA was just the latest in a string of developments in tax policy that Scott helped foster. During the 1990s, he helped design the major tax components of the Contract with America that became the eventual centerpieces of the 1997 tax bill and the Bush tax cuts in 2001 and 2003. Scott has written and edited three books on the federal budget and streamlining the government and has authored hundreds of studies on tax policy and government spending. He has also written dozens of editorials and opinion pieces for publications such as The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, USA TODAY, the New York Post and The Washington Times. And he has conducted more than 1,000 radio and television interviews—including with NBC Nightly News, CBS Evening News, CNN, Fox, Hardball with Chris Matthews, and C-SPAN. Before joining the Tax Foundation, Scott was Director of Tax and Budget Policy at Citizens for a Sound Economy. He also spent ten years at The Heritage Foundation as a fellow analyzing budget and tax policy. He holds a degree in political science from the University of Illinois at Chicago.

In our personal and professional lives, one thing is constant — change.
And let's face it, change can be tough. We'd all like the world to sit still for a while, but that's not going to happen. So we're left to figure out the best ways to adapt quickly.
Here are some tips for integrating change, both personally and for your organization:
* First, be clear why you're making the change.
* When planning change, determine your desired results.
* Figure out how to measure success, and keep checking on how you're doing.
* Outline how you can manage change over time. In doing so, consider others' perspectives and how changes will affect them.
* Take your time. When change is rushed, it usually fails.
* Know your stuff. Colleagues or family members will ask you a lot of questions, so don't move forward until you can answer them.
* When changing your organization, develop a script for managers to use while implementing the change so everyone gets the same message.
* At work, make clear that all management personnel must publicly support the change.
* If you make a mistake, don't worry. Admit it and change course if needed.
* Reinforce the change as necessary.
For executives or business owners, well-executed decisions made on these lines can lower turnover, smooth employee relations, increase productivity, and strengthen your business. At home, they'll help you sleep better and maybe even save money.
Make your next change initiative a success through planning, communication, measurement and reinforcement.
