Things to Put into Consideration When Choosing a Website Development Company
If a person wants to develop a website that will do writing markups and coding for their companies then he or she will have to go to a website development company. For a person to get the best internet services and the best out of their projects, then he or she will be forced to take the website development company that is best when it comes to their operations. Ensuring that the chosen website development company has its services known all over is the most important thing, this is because the client will be able to get the kind of internet services they have been expecting for in the local markets or the international ones.
The reputation of the website development company should be taken as the key factor by all individuals. Taking the website development company that has good reputation on their performance is the most important thing, this is because the interested customer will be able to get the best internet services hence creating that trust to work with that given company. It is also the duty of very individual to ensure that they check on the reputation of the expected website company keenly, this is because of the increase in demand of the kind of services they offer in the current market.
Putting into consideration the reviews of the chosen website development company is the most important factor that it should be considered by everyone who wish to start internet business. In many cases it is the duty of every individual to make sure that they look for a website development company that its reviews is with every client, this is because it will give the client the trust to do business together at the same time making the right choice. Comparing on the reviews presented by various website development companies in the current situation and thus giving out the same services, then it is the duty of everyone to select one among the available companies at that given time in their lives.
Considering the cost of the chosen website development company is the most important factor that everyone should consider by all means. Considering the available cash before making decisions on the kind of company to hire or to take when there is need to is very important, this is because one will have the potential to make the right decisions on the company to go for when there is need to. Also on the cost of the chosen website development company that one is interested with is that, any interested client will have to take the company that he or she can afford at all times, this is because the difference in financial status of the clients at any time hence making one to take the one that incur less cost.

Publish and be banned! Sir Nick, stop your army of Robot Community Police killing good causes
Open letter Sir Nick Clegg, head of global policy and communications at Facebook
The consumerwatchfoundation.com is investigating fears that the world's biggest social media site is becoming totally anti-social.
Facebook's reputation is getting as tarnished as an old tin can as it remains a platform for fake news, racism and cyber-bullying – and is questioned regularly by governments about its use of personal information.
Facebook has hired you, Sir Nick Clegg, the former UK deputy prime minister, as its head of global policy and communications.
You have joined Facebook as it struggles to cope with mounting political pressure over issues including fake news, data protection and regularly faces the threat of government regulation.
Facebook is also seen by many as a prurient source of pornography yet publicly adopts a puritanical pose about people posting pictures showing the human nipple.
Now, Sir Nick, CWF can reveal Facebook is also perhaps unknowingly targetting good causes across the globe and asking for money off them.
In effect Facebook's algorithms and robots are cashing in on despair for a few dollars at a time.
And what makes it worse is that the world's biggest chat site refuses to chat about it!
There is no doubt, for instance, that Facebook once vowed to create a world that's "more open and connected" – and yet the company is undoubtedly damaging a co-ordinated fight to end a crime which can hit any family in any part of the world at anytime.
Hundreds of thousands of people a day turn to sites on Facebook like D.A.D.s. NAAP and the consumerwatchfoundation.com to keep abreast of developments in the international battle against parental alienation.
Yet at least three major players have revealed that their fight to protect our children is being hampered by 'jailings' for offending community standards.
But who polices this tawdry organisation's community and sets it abominable standards?
It used to be PUBLISH AND BE DAMNED – now, in this brave new world of Facebook, it is PUBLISH AND BE BANNED!
However, like the old hallowed game of Monopoly there is a get-out-of-jail card … but it's not free!
Immediately you are banned – because you posted too fast and too often – Facebook's spidery Robots send you an ad offering to post the post they have just banned you from posting for an average $15 – $20!
Editor at CWF Leigh G Banks said: "We battle for many good cause and stand up for people in a strong and strident way. That is our brief.
"Yet on an almost daily basis posts about parents battling for their children, about people taking on big organisations and a campaign to save one of Britain's stately homes are summarily banned without explanation or recourse.
"Facebook has given itself over to a faceless army of Robot Thought Police, a ramshackle cyber army that is badly conceived and badly programmed and pays not even lip service to Facebook's original plan – to making being sociable a world-wide possibility.
"We have strong evidence to show that organisations working hard for real-world communities are regularly 'banned; from posting because their posts go against Facebook's community standards."
CWF says that the people cited below are actually fighting to save lives of…
Andrew John Teague – stopped from posting about his international campaign against parental alienation and male suicide.
Eric Wiltsher – stopped from posting on various subjects including community radio and war veterans.
Andrea Martin – stopped from posting on many community-conscious matters
Leigh G Banks – stopped from posting on a campaigns including one to save a Grade 11 listed historic monument.
Yet we have correspondence from Facebook saying that 'Leigh's posts are not disruptive and are informative and educational'.
That leaves one simple question to be answered: How do 'non-disruptive and informative' offends Facebook community standards?
Facebook has stayed silent on this. We have posed the question to four of their so-called Press officers without any response.
Sir Nick you have pledged to do "whatever it takes" to make the company's platforms safer for young people.
We applaud you over this endeavour but also ask you to look at what your faceless army of community police are doing to people who care and want to advance communities in the real world.
Many of them are fighting for children who have become victims of abuse, alienation, disease, bullying and indoctrination.
So, help us help them too… don't ban us for days on end because we posted too quickly or too often which is seen as offending community standards.
And stop asking us to PAY your organisation to continue posting the posts we offended with in the first place!
Come and visit us – the people who care – in the real world Sir Nick!

The NSA (National Security Agency) has been savaging the US Constitution lately by secretly collecting data on almost every US citizen. But most of that evil work has been done by citizens obeying orders from true believers in the security state. In their hearts, they are heroes. It (the security state), however, has no heart. The key to understanding this dilemma is to recognize that the Intelligence Community ('IC') bureaucracies have mastered the art of getting "good people" to do "bad things" in the name of "national security." There are just enough real maniacs on earth to frighten the hyper-vigilant at all times, even though actual deaths to real terrorists in North America are objectively far less each year today than deaths to bee stings, lightning strikes or televisions.[i]
So while I mention serious damage to American civil liberties and even to national security due to the recent growth of NSA activities, I need to be clear that this damage was done mainly by people with good intentions. In their minds, they are protecting the innocent from dangers posed by murky and sometimes stateless actors called "terrorists." The IC clan is largely sincere, partly because they are told constantly that they are patriots by the bureaucracies that hire them, and which enforce the secrecy rules that enable such dysfunction. 9/11 provided an excuse. But bureaucracies run on money, not consciences, 'free will,' ethics or love, so counting on them to enforce any restraint is a fool's conclusion. Bureaucracies are in it for the money, period.
The Illusion of Oversight
This overreach was enabled by 9/11 and a supine Congress whose "oversight" mechanisms were designed to fail decades ago, and have done so tragically. This was first told me by a sitting US Congressman, Bruce Vento (D), and strongly reinforced by the Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence at that time, Sen. David Durenburger (R). 24 years later, Congressman Alan Grayson wrote that "government oversight is a joke".[ii] Obsession with secret power, and indifference to Constitutional law, much less oversight or agreements on prudent intelligence sharing, has damaged our national security seriously by offending vital allies who don't like to be spied on any more than loyal citizens.[iii]
Spy agencies undoubtedly need some secrecy, but there are big differences between necessity and obsession. Agents may be killed, or "turned" if detected, and communications once known to be tapped by secret police are seldom used again for serious business. So some secrecy is essential for spies. However, that easily becomes an obsession with secrecy common to intelligence agencies that can blind them to important things that are obvious to outsiders. For example, Americans generally do not like to be targeted by weapons of war that we paid for. Surprised? The NSA is. Their bulk collection program turned what was originally an intelligence weapon of war directed at terrorists abroad, into a domestic tool used to scan most communications of almost all citizens at home. The only people surprised by public disgust at this are security gremlins deep inside their very secure cocoons, who ask sincerely "Why don't our citizens trust us to collect all their telephone calls and emails?" Allied heads of state also do not like to be treated like criminals when it comes to surveillance by any "Big Brother", including the US. Widespread distaste for such activities was a big surprise to the NSA, which felt that if it could eavesdrop on anyone's communications it should, then did, then lied about it.[iv]
What ethical lapses are shown by the NSA revelations? To what extent are these system properties rather than episodes of individual activity (like espionage) which could occur even in theoretically perfect systems. At least as important, what can America do at this time to restore the balance?
Major Ethical Lapses and System Failures
The security clearance system (at least in America) systematically weeds out people with strong consciences in the name of "protecting the people" or the state. But the real concern is that very conscientious people will not always keep horrid crimes secret. This secrecy is required by the nondisclosure contracts all must sign. There is nominal instruction in "ethics" for the IC[v] and large reams of legalese explaining why employees should never steal from the government or lie to their superiors (even if lying to the rest of the world is part of their daily work). Career employees quickly learn, however, that taking a real ethics complaint to the Inspector General's office is a quick path to a bad assignment, or even dismissal if you persist. IG offices are where scandals go to die, not get fixed. If genuine whistleblowers go to media of any kind, they are prosecuted relentlessly, some even threatened with a penalty of death under the 1917 Espionage Act (more under President Obama than by all former US Presidents combined).[vi] At the same time, we see the promotion of senior people who authorized things like torture, "renditions," and the killing of US citizens overseas without due process, or convictions in courts of law.[vii]
Therefore much stronger whistleblower protection for national security professionals would help. They are uniquely vulnerable to retaliation by things like revocation of their security clearance (which ends their careers as well as current jobs). The National Security Whistleblowers Coalition can provide many suggestions about that, since all of their 50+ members have sacrificed much to tell America's public things it needs to know about life and death issues that have been covered up by the clearance and classification processes.
Sins like torture and murder of innocents or US citizens are not directly related to current NSA scandals except that signals intelligence often provides much of the data that determines which "targets" are OK for torture, kidnapping or death. Mistakes here have serious consequences. And alleged transcripts of alleged NSA intercepts are very easy to fabricate or "mistranslate." More broadly, the security clearance system provides an overall blanket of secrecy that silences insiders who know that wrong things are occurring (such as initiation of the 2003 war against Iraq, contrary to international legal principles).[viii] Insiders always know these rules that constrain 'good people' who want to retain their clearances and careers. At least as important, they know their coworkers as good people, who treat each other very nicely even if they are involved in the murder of innocents overseas. Like most professions, they are vividly aware of the difficulties of their jobs, and much less aware of the suffering they may cause for "targets" who are seldom identified as human beings in the technical jargon of their trade.
Very bright people whose careers develop within such toxic environments can lose whatever moral compass they arrived with to the extent that they may then routinely rationalize lying to Congress, the public and the press. Like members of cults, they learn secret, internal languages that are not the same as that which normal or "uncleared" people use who are automatically suspect for a variety of reasons. But I stress again that the people involved do not do this to hurt America, Congress, or the Constitution. They truly believe that because they have security clearances and access to secrets, they know better than Congressmen, the Constitution, or citizens what should be done to protect us. In fact, many hold Congress in contempt, a view widely shared outside the IC these days. This is how and why many very bright and "good people" learn to lie to Congress and the public. Learning to lie is not hard for spies, but learning to rationalize the torture and murder of innocents takes more work, and learning how to urge suspension of the Constitution by wordsmithing is an art.
What can we do to Restore the Balance?
There are at least three ways in which balance may be restored. First, a current legislative contest is between a "Cover Our Asses Act" (the FISA Improvements Act) sponsored by the current Chair of the Senate Oversight Committee, Dianne Feinstein (D, CA) and other true believers in the security state, that would 'legalize' a degree of state surveillance of American citizens that would appall our founding fathers, and a "Freedom Act" sponsored by civil liberties Senators and the very conservative Republican Congressman who authored the USA Patriot Act after 9/11. That Act has been interpreted to overrule much of the first, fourth, and eighth amendments to the US Constitution, by staff including a secret court (FISA) that hears secret evidence and allows no testimony by defense or by critics of the people who profit from this system.
A bigger and better fix would be a complete overhaul of the security clearance and information classification systems that enable this dysfunction and waste, as described in the Moynihan Report on Government Secrecy of 1997. It found that secrecy is a very expensive form of government regulation, that excessive secrecy has negative consequences for the national interest when policy makers are not fully informed, that government is almost never held accountable for its actions in the secret services and that the public cannot engage fully in informed debate because of excessive secrecy. One of the few things almost all insiders and outsiders agreed with, then and today, is that information classification is grossly overdone because there are harsh consequences for employees who let information out, but no adverse consequences for playing it safe and classifying everything remotely risky or embarrassing. Yet, like many government reports, the Moynihan Commission's unanimous conclusions were almost totally ignored.[ix]
Most broadly, however, it is imperative to recognize key differences between the bureaucracies and the individual human beings they hire and train to do things. Bureaucracies have no natural consciences, and they are not just a sum of the individual human beings that make them up. Yes the humans matter a lot, of course. But bureaucracies have properties that transcend any simple sum of the humans in them that weigh heavily on assessments of blame in ethical cases. I have already mentioned one vivid example, how the security clearance systems characteristic of America's IC (and most of the world's, regrettably) systematically weed out the most ethically sensitive or enlightened citizens. That is a loss to the IC. The worst IC bureaucracies actively concentrate psychopaths (scattered at frequencies below 1 percent in 'normal' populations)[x] because they have found that psychopaths can make better spies. This is due to their indifference to moral norms and lifelong experience in persuasive lying to manipulate people. Concentrating psychopaths in positions of lethal, and secret, power can generate many self-inflicted wounds. Recall that the bureaucracies rely on money for their life force, and have no natural consciences. In biological living systems, energy can come from food or the sun, but for bureaucracies it is money; money is their energy. They use this to buy PR and to recruit the human resources they need to perpetuate that money flow. Like any living system, bureaucracies also want to grow, which makes them intrinsically greedy. Therefore, deep IC reform is increasingly urgent, as Snowden and many more national security whistleblowers have been warning for some time.
It is imperative to remember that most intelligence personnel are wholeheartedly devoted to the welfare of their countries and citizens. Many are willing to face death to protect their peoples and countries, and a few from the human intelligence and special operations groups go into the field to face harsh enemies who will torture and kill them if discovered. We need such heroes. But they need to work for institutions that honor American principles instead of betraying us. Today, American IC employees must deal with stultifying bureaucracies that often punish people who act on ethical insights. The worst concentrate psychopaths at the entry level, who then exploit advantages that concentrate them further among the senior ranks. Like refining uranium, this can lead to very bad consequences if carried too far, such as damaging true national security. The history of police-states shows that carried to the extreme, secret police with unaccountable power eventually destroy the nations they were created and empowered to protect.
Michael Andregg teaches in the Justice and Peace Studies Department at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota. (he can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com). He has also taught adjunct at the University of Minnesota since 1981, wrote a book "On the Causes of War" that won the National Peace Writing Award in 1999, and has published extensively on intelligence ethics including chapters on that topic for textbooks by Routledge (2007) and Oxford University Press (2010) edited by Loch Johnson. Andregg's Ph.D. is in genetics from the University of California, Davis, 1977, but he quickly concluded that war was a larger public health hazard than the rare diseases he worked on at the University of Minnesota hospitals.
[i] Matt Bewig, of AllGov news, reported on Sunday June 10, 2012 that: "Since 9/11, a total of 238 American citizens have died from terrorist attacks, or an average of 24 per year, although only 15 American noncombatants died in 2010 and 17 in 2011 – none of them in the United States and almost all of them in Afghanistan or Iraq where the US has been waging wars for a decade." http://www.allgov.com/news/top-stories/more-americans-killed-by-bees-and-wasps-or-falling-televisions-than-by-terrorists?news=844603 When people look at actual numbers, it turns out that lightning and falling furniture kill far more people in America every year than terrorists by any definition. Also note: "How Many Americans are Killed by Terrorism?" by Micah Zenko, June 5, 2012, Council on Foreign Relations. http://blogs.cfr.org/zenko/2012/06/05/how-many-americans-are-killed-by-terrorism/
[ii] Grayson, Alan (US Congressman). "Congressional Oversight is a Joke" in the Guardian, UK, Dec. 27, 2013. He notes here that "I have learned far more about government spying from the media than I have from Congressional briefings. … It took this investigation to convince me that I had always been told lies, to make me realize I was tired of being told lies. I am tired of the spies telling lies too." The comments from Congressman Vento and Senator Durenberger 24 years earlier were private to this author when I had occasions to work closely with both of them during my early years of studying spies and dysfunctions within the "Intelligence Community" or IC.
[iii] "Der Spiegel: NSA Bugged UN Headquarters," by Tabassum Zakaria of Reuters, Aug. 25, 2013. "Brazil President Denounces Spying in UN Speech," by Julian Borger, Guardian UK, Sept. 24, 2013. "NSA Monitors Calls of 35 Heads of States," by James Ball, Guardian UK, Oct. 25, 2013. "NSA Spying Prompts Spain to Summon US Ambassador," by Paul Hamilos, Guardian UK, Oct. 28, 2013. A comprehensive list of such stories would have hundreds of entries.
[iv] There are many news reports about lies told to the US Congress by NSA Director Keith Alexander and his boss Director of National Intelligence James Clapper about the extent of NSA surveillance of US citizens in particular. When a member of the Intelligence oversight committees asked if the NSA was collecting information on millions of Americans, Clapper first lied, then admitted that he had said "the least untruthful" thing he "could." "Fire the Liar" Dec. 15, 2013, is a response by career Army Officer and CIA analyst (ret.) Ray McGovern. The best description about why good people do such evil things before Congress may come from former NSA executive and eventual whistle blower William Binney (who helped design the very machines and processes being criticized here) for the Huffington Post of October 17, 2013. "William Binney, another former NSA official turned whistle-blower resigned from the agency in October, 2001. He said this week that he saw Alexander as a "corporate" leader who was interested in getting as much money as possible from Congress to extend the agency's reach." This is the true key. "Corporate interests" have convinced many US intelligence agencies that their budgets are more important than the US Constitution, and they make it crystal clear to employees what will happen to them if they regard their oath to the Constitution as more important than non-disclosure commitments to their agency. They will be prosecuted severely for telling the truth, while higher officials go free and get rich by telling lies to Congress and many others.
[v] "The Intelligence Community Ethos: A Closely Regulated Profession" by Col. Christopher E. Bailey, International Journal of Intelligence Ethics, Vol. 3, No. 2, fall/winter 2012, pp. 54-76. This may be the best open source summary of many attempts to introduce ethical considerations into American IC institutions. But I must then also cite Andregg, M. in the same volume on "Do Intelligence Bureaucracies Fear Ethics, and if so, Why?" pp. 100-120 that describes why the bureaucracies strongly prefer faux ethics to people with active consciences whom they deny security clearances to or, once in, persecute, fire or even prosecute should they actually act on ethical concerns. A code of omerta trumps their oaths to protect the Constitution. The senior editor of this journal, Dr. Jan Goldman, was Bailey's predecessor at the National Intelligence University, where he wrote books on the ethical dilemmas that spies face: Ethics of Spying: A Reader for the Intelligence Professional in 2006, second edition in 2009.
[vi] "Office of Special Counsel Must Change Climate and Protect Whistleblowers" by Charles M. Smith, June 29, 2011; "Judge Rules Against CIA Whistleblower" AP, April 20, 2012; "Spies and Whistle-Blowers," by Gwynne Dyer, July 8, 2013 (at: http://gwynnedyer.com/2013/spies-and-whistle-blowers/); "The Secret Sharer: is Thomas Drake an enemy of the state?", by Jane Mayer in The New Yorker, May 23, 2011, CBS 60 Minutes report on Drake's case, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1_b2iRq-A0, and essays at the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition.
[vii] Specifically Anwar al-Awlaki killed by a drone attack in Yemen targeting him on September 30, 2011, followed 2 weeks later by his son Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, born in Denver, while attending an event to remember his father.
[viii] Two books lay out in great and heavily referenced detail how the invasion of Iraq was preceded by profound "politicization" of raw intelligence to produce propaganda used to sell this war. They are "A Pretext for War" by James Bamford, Anchor Books, 2005, and "The Greatest Story Ever Sold" by Frank Rich, Penguin Books, 2006. Before them, Britain's head of MI6 (their CIA equivalent) Sir. Richard Dearlove informed the British Security Cabinet that his visit to Washington DC in 2002 showed that "the evidence was being fixed around the policy." This is a definition of politicization, one of the greatest sins possible in ethical intelligence analysis, revealed by the Times of London on May 1, 2005. Alleged transcripts of alleged NSA intercepts are especially easy to manufacture or "mistranslate."

What Is Radon?
Radon is a radioactive gas known to cause lung cancer with long term exposure. It is a colorless, odorless gas that can only be detected with special instruments and could be in your home without your knowledge. Radon gas forms from the natural breakdown of uranium found in soil, rock, and water. The radioactive level of the gas depends on the makeup of the soil and rock in your area but it is commonly found in low, non-harmful levels all over the United States. The elements formed from this natural process can attach to dust and other particles in the air you breathe.
Radon can get into any type of building, including homes, offices and schools through cracks and other holes in the foundation. Your home has a higher chance of exposing you and your family to the gas because that is where you spend most of your time. Every home, including newly built residences are susceptible to radon problems. All SafeBasements™ waterproofing products can operate in conjunction with typical mitigation systems and products.
Radon Testing
Radon is measured in picocuries per liter of air or "pCi/L." DIY test kits are sold at local home improvement and hardware stores but results are not guaranteed to be 100% accurate. Our certified, trained professionals come to your home and provide guidance in the event that high levels of radon are found. It's fast, easy, and affordable.
North Dakota is in one of the highest indoor radon areas in our country. See the link from the EPA here and view maps about radon conditions in North Dakota.

Resilience means different things to different people but ultimately is about pushing past challenges. How we do that is in large part a matter of perspective. Litigation attorney Courtney Perez, a partner at Carter Arnett PLLC, had always viewed resilience as something to be endured, like "taking the punches." For her, resilience has been all about survival and getting to the other side. As a successful, high-achieving professional, Courtney's feelings about resilience surprised me.
Then again, it turned out many other women in the Dallas Bar Association's WE LEAD program shared her views since they, too, have experienced the burnout and stress of the profession. Among the things they lack are an abundance of senior female mentors to guide them since many women attorneys exit the profession once they make it to partner level and immediately beyond.
I was brought in to teach my Resilience Framework and concrete tools to put into practice right away to help these accomplished attorneys stay in the game.
It was a proud moment to hear how Courtney's views on resilience shifted after the program. "What I learned today is that you don't have to endure or suffer through challenges. If you change your perspective, you can actually enjoy the journey as you move through those challenges. I never thought of resilience in this way."
What about you? In what ways is slogging through the obstacles holding you back? Moreover, what strategies can you use to stay in the game?

Snoring is a sleeping disorder that can affect millions of people, not only does it affect those that suffer from it, but quite often affects their partners and those who also sleep in the house – affecting them a lot more, as they are the ones that mostly have to listen to. Snoring is caused by a tightening of the airways causing excessive vibration and hence the noise that you hear when someone snores. There can be many reasons for this tightening of the airways, such as various lifestyles that we live and it can also be connected to the age and sex of the sufferer. Generally speaking, males that are middle-aged are more prone to it than other age groups or sexes. The reason for this is because, as we age, the muscles in the area weaken which causes this tightening. Men generally have a bigger neck than women, which is why they are more prone to suffer from small. Those that sleep on their back are also more prone to suffer from snoring as the head tilts back slightly constricting the airways; if you're able to adjust your sleeping position, it could help reduce snoring.
Obviously, there is not always something that can be done about these causes; however, there are plenty of other causes that we can control or at least try to affect in order to minimise the chances of snoring occurring and how severe the snoring is. One of the causes of snoring is due to alcohol use, the alcohol causes weakening of the muscles around the airways which causes them to tighten. By reducing alcohol use you able to try and minimise the effects of snoring. Just as with alcohol, smoking can also lead to an increase in the chances of suffering from snoring, and again, just as with alcohol use, smoking causes a weakening of the muscles around the airways, causing them to tighten. Obviously, smoking has many negative health indications attached to it, snoring being just one of them, so giving up would not only be beneficial when it comes to snoring but your whole health in general, and is certainly recommended.
Another common cause of snoring can be those that are obese. Excessive fat around the areas close to the airways causes the muscles to be pushed inwards, therefore, tightening the airways. By losing weight, you can help to lessen the fat in that area and reduce the effect that it has on tightening the airways. As you can see, there are many factors that contribute to snoring that are associated with a poor lifestyle – excessive drinking, smoking and over-eating or lack of exercise, or both. By trying to improve our lifestyles, it is possible to reduce the effects of snoring, and even cut it out altogether. Not only would trying to live a healthier lifestyle and reducing these unhealthy habits have a positive effect on snoring, but it can also help your general health, reducing the risk of serious diseases, such as cancer, and help you to live longer and more healthily.

Health and Hygiene
Around 1,000 children below the age of five die every day in India from diarrhoea, hepatitis-causing pathogens and other sanitation-related diseases, according to the report of United Nations Children's Fund.
Why Focus on Hygiene is required?
Hygiene is the practice of maintaining good health through cleanliness. Maintaining good personal hygiene and keeping our food, water and environment clean are the major areas where good hygiene practices need to be implemented. Only 53% of Indians wash their hands after defecation which means that the issue of environmental sanitation needs to be addressed at large.
Open defecation, especially, is a major issue and it poses great threat to hygienic living conditions. Flies sit on excreta and carry germs when they sit on food. During rainy season the excreta is washed into ponds and wells thus contaminating them. Public places with improper sanitation facilities results in increased cases of diarrhoea and typhoid. Clearly, the need for proper and hygienic toilet facilities cannot be denied.
We at FINISH firmly believe that merely constructing toilets will not improve the present sanitation situation in India. It needs to be coupled with encouragement for the use of sanitation facilities. Therefore keeping our objective of promoting "Total Sanitation" and following an integrated approach, our programs focus on building safe sanitation systems and simultaneously also creating awareness for the good hygiene practices.
Hygienic defecation practices can be followed by keeping in mind some simple points. However, before educating the people about them, it is necessary to first make the people aware about the importance of practicing good hygiene. We focus on hygiene related awareness amongst children and women. We have been promoting good WASH practices through school children who are change agents of future.
Sanitation & Health
Globally, about 10% of diseases are caused due to lack of proper sanitation. According to the journal on PLoS Med Series 7(11), "At any given time close to half of the urban populations of Africa, Asia, and Latin America have a disease associated with poor sanitation, hygiene, and water. Of human excreta, faeces are the most dangerous to health".
One of the other initiatives taken by FINISH in order to link health and sanitation to financial inclusion is providing micro insurance to poor segments of society. In this endeavor, FINISH has brought insurance service providers also in the financial inclusion chain. We aim to bring down the premium cost by reducing risk and improving health standards due to better sanitation so that insurance becomes affordable for the poor. In one such association, FINISH has covered more than 50000 beneficiaries under micro health insurance policies.

Take heart rugby fans.
The seemingly interminable period of time betwixt when the Cronulla Sharks won the 2016 premiership and when the 2017 NRL Telstra Premiership gets underway is ticking down to an early February start up.
That is when the pre-season fixtures will get underway and provide some inkling of what the various shifts and machinations of the 16 clubs will be revealed.
At this juncture, before one player has been bagged, or the banana benders can make their condescending presence known, the bookies are tipping the Brisbane Broncos, Melbourne Storm and North Queensland Cowboys as tri-favourites to take the premiership, at $8 in the view of Sportsbet.
The Sharks are one spot back at $9. Repeating is not easy. It has not been done since the 1998 debut of the NRL as it operates today. Apparently, the Canberra Raiders and the Penrith Panthers have just as good a chance.
Next, come the Sydney Warriors and the New Zealand Roosters at $13.
The South Sydney Rabbitohs are alone at $15, followed by at jam at $17 that includes the Manly Sea Eagles, West Coast Titans, Parramatta Eels and Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.
Wests Tigers are not totally beyond hope at $29, but the St. George Illawarra Dragons at $81 and the Newcastle Knights at $201 will have to pin their hopes on unlikely collapses if they are to move up the ladder at all, let alone contend for a spot in the finals.

Plattsburgh State scored the deciding goal midway through the second period as the Cardinals collected a 3-2 win over the Middlebury men's hockey team Friday in Kenyon Arena. The meeting was the 50th all-time matchup between the two storied programs, with Plattsburgh State holding a 25-21-4 lead. The Panthers (3-10-0) travel to 13th-ranked Norwich on Tuesday at 7:00 p.m., while the Cardinals (8-7-0) head to Williams Saturday for a 7:00 p.m. faceoff.
The hosts got off to the early lead, scoring 5:08 into the contest. Charlie Lawrence put a shot on goal that was stopped by Cardinal goalie Lawson Fenton, but Vincent Gisonti shoveled the rebound into the net for a 1-0 Panther lead. Plattsburgh State needed only 51 seconds to answer, as Mike Falanga tapped in a rebound on a shot by Cole Stallard. The visitors led for the first time at the 13:23 mark on a goal by Andrew Pizzo, who redirected a centering pass by Rich McCartney. Middlebury forged a 2-2 tie with 1:45 remaining in the period, when Lawrence deflected in his first collegiate goal on a shot by Michael Fahie.
The hosts nearly regained the lead in the early stages of the second stanza when Eric Jeremiah pinched in from the point. Jeremiah redirected a pass from Gisonti on the right side of the crease, but Lawson denied the chance. Plattsburgh State jumped back in front on an unassisted goal by Pizzo with 8:07 on the clock. Pizzo intercepted a pass at the blue line and wristed a shot from the high slot that eluded Middlebury goalie Stephen Klein for his second score of the game.
Klein made a big save on Connor Logan less than a minute into the final period, keeping the hosts within striking distance. The Panthers came close to getting the equalizer with 1:28 left in the game on a long stretch pass from Brendan Dawson that sprung Mitchell Allen on a partial breakaway. Allen's shot was turned aside by Fenton, as the guests skated off with the one-goal victory.
Klein registered 23 saves, moving into third place on the program's career list for saves. He currently has 1,764 in three-plus seasons. Larry Perlman (1972-74) is next on the list in second place with 2,022. Fenton finished with 26 saves as Middlebury held a 28-26 edge in shots. Both teams were scoreless on the power play with the Panthers getting two chances and the Cardinals four.

The type-traits library supports type checks, type comparisons, and type modifications at compile time. Right! Today, I write about type modifications at compile time.
My journey through programming at compile time began in the last posts with template metaprogramming. Today, I jump from C++98 to C++11. This is a jump to the type-traits library which is template metaprogramming in a standardised way.
Today, I will continue my introduction to programming at compile time. The last post started with template metaprogramming. Here is where I pick-up today and finish.
Yes, you read it correctly. Today, I write about template metaprogramming which is programming with types and not values.
Variadic templates are a typical feature of C++: from the users perspective they are easy to use, but from the implementor's perspective they look quite scary. Today's post is mainly about the implementor's perspective.
Due to the C++ core guidelines "Templates are the backbone of C++'s support for generic programming and class hierarchies the backbone of its support for object-oriented programming. The two language mechanisms can be used effectively in combination, but a few design pitfalls must be avoided." Let me see what this means.
My post for today is just loosely coupled to the rules of the C++ core guidelines because they provide not much content. Inspired by the guidelines, today's post is about a generic isSmaller function.
Template definitions deal with guidelines that are specific to a template implementation. This means, in particular, these rules focus on how a template definition depends on its context.
There is, in particular, one rule left to template interfaces which is quite interesting: T.47: Avoid highly visible unconstrained templates with common names. Admittedly, the rule T47 is often the reason for unexpected behaviour because the wrong function is called.
The topic for today is quite important when you create your type: Regular and SemiRegular types.

Check that you are getting original leads in your campaigns. If you are quickly gathering leads, you may overlook the fact that duplication is occurring. It is not unusual for leads to appear several times during the lead generation process. Make sure each number of leads you target is unique to get the most exposure.
Are there events in your are that are related to your field? For instance, if you sell homes, are there any wedding expos on the horizon? If this is your field, make yourself available at related shows. To find out what events are coming to your area, check out the newspaper's events calender.

Analysis of Omar Hamammi's Last Messages
I've been busy and I've not had time to really read and study Omar Hammami's last release, although we did run the raw data and some Googlish translations of the documents.
Selected Wisdom has a breakdown and some thoughts here.
Previously, Omar had posted his biography, in english, which was ignored by the e-jihadi crowd. This time he wrote two Arabic documents, which detail his trials and tribulations in Somalia. Im assuming he chose Arabic to make sure word got out in the jihadi crowd. While I dont read Arabic, Ive gone through the Google translate and talked to a knowledgeable scholar, Dr. Will McCants, about what I think are key passages.Read the rest.Connections between al Shabaab and al Qaeda in Yemen
Desire to conduct external operations in Kenya
Fazuls return to Somalia, his conflict with Godane and resulting death
Conflicts between local Somali clan fighters (Ansar) and foreign fighters (Muhajir)
Hammami overstepped with Godane and got punished
Disastrous merger between al Shabaab and al Qaeda
Omar asserts that Godane killed off al Qaeda members and foreign fighters such as abu Talha, Fazul, Sudani and detained other foreign fighters

Ohio senator announces $50K for OU
To address workforce shortage created by opioid epidemic
WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, announced this week two initiatives designed to combat problems stemming from the opioid epidemic in Ohio.
Brown said on Tuesday that the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture has awarded a $50,000 grant to Ohio University for the development of a rural workforce training program.
Brown's office said a local contribution of $51,684 will bring total project funds to $101,684, and that the program will train skilled workers in communities across Scioto and Lawrence counties who have been affected by the addiction epidemic.
"We cannot write off the Ohioans who struggle with addiction and we cannot write off entire communities," Brown said in a news release. "This investment ensures Ohio University's rural workforce training program has the resources it needs to make sure recovering Ohioans have job opportunities to get back on their feet."
The rural workforce training program is designed to address Appalachian Ohio's workforce shortage, the result of the addiction epidemic, and will include training in education, healthcare, human services, criminal justice and law enforcement.
The funds for the grant are a part of the USDA's Rural Development initiative. Brown's office said he helped secure a strong Rural Development title in the 2014 Farm Bill, and is continuing to advocate for Rural Development programs in the 2018 Farm Bill.
Brown's office said on Wednesday that the senator has also secured several provisions to help Ohio combat the addiction epidemic in a legislative package currently being negotiated the Senate. This includes Brown's Caring Recovery for Infants and Babies (CRIB) Act.

Lightweight is once again the name of the game! The number one complaint we've heard about a lot of expensive sunglasses is that some of the heavier pairs get uncomfortable on your face after wearing them for a little while. We've also heard this makes them really hard to be active in. So once again we made our own LIGHTWEIGHT version.
Instead of using the common heavy (and crack prone) glass lens we are using a lightweight TAC polarized lens. The actual frame itself is similar to what you would get with expensive designer shades but the only difference is with ours you are getting a lightweight and stronger lens! Nose pads are made of a super soft high quality silicone.What does this mean? Glad you asked! This means you can wear your new Bermuda shades all day without them bothering your face! So take them on hikes, to lake days, volleyball tournaments or even an all day patio brunch sesh!
• UV400 Protective (to protect those eyes from the nasty UV rays)
• Impact resistant lenses- FDA approved (to protect your eyes from flying objects!)
• Detour pouch included (to protect your shades from protecting your eyes!)
Sizing: 5.65" x 5.5" x 2""
Customer Reviews
These are $280 if you go raybans, little to no difference. Save huge with detour. Thanks guys
Fit great and lo great. No complaints
These are very well designed glasses that, in my opinion, compete with Ray Bans. I tend to lose sunglasses a lot so these have been a great alternative to that! They are built very well and have held up the last 6 months (daily wear).
Was looking for an alternative to ray bans that look nice and protect my eyes, these are great. I'm always squinting in cheaper sunglasses, I can tell that these do their job. I emailed to confirm they protect against uva and uvb light. They're comfortable, really lightweight and cute- well worth it!! The case it comes with is soft and doesn't close which is the only downside
Slightly small for my face but still great sunglasses. Very comfortable and lightweight.
They were a little smaller than what I was expecting... butttt they are the perfect fit! The lens is beautiful and they look so good! Very pleased I took the chance and bought them:)
Great sunglasses! Super light and stylish. Although the size of the lens are deceiving from the pictures. They are smaller then you would expect. Still absolutely love.
Love the look of the rose gold glasses on my granddaughter!

International Mindedness
The attempt to define international-mindedness in increasingly clear terms, and the struggle to move closer to that ideal in practice, are central to the mission of PYP schools.
Since the inception of the PYP, one aspect of PYP schools that emerges not only as the most compelling but also as the common ground on which PYP schools stand, the essence of what they are about is the kind of student we hope will graduate from a PYP school; the kind of student who, in the struggle to establish a personal set of values, will be laying the foundation upon which international-mindedness will develop and flourish. The attributes of such a learner are listed in the learner profile. The learner profile is central to the PYP definition of what it means to be internationally minded, and it directs schools to focus on the learning. IB World Schools should be proud to send out into the world students who exemplify the attributes expressed in this profile.
A PYP school, regardless of location, size or constitution, strives towards developing an internationally minded person - a person who demonstrates the attributes of the IB learner profile.
In the PYP, it is both recognized and appreciated that students come into the programme from various backgrounds and with a wealth of prior knowledge and experience. All teachers have a responsibility to plan learning and assess student development in the context of the IB learner profile; it affects all students throughout the programme. All schools have a responsibility on behalf of students to assess and report on progress in the development of the attributes of the IB learner profile.
The IB learner profile is value-laden and it is the embodiment of what the IB believes about international education. The attributes described in the learner profile are appropriate to, and achievable by, all primary-years students. The teachers interpret these attributes in a manner appropriate to the age and development of the student. That said part of the adaptability and versatility of the programme lies in what these attributes may look like from one school culture to another.

In this #3 of Rick Birtles series of five blogs, we share more tips 'n' tricks how to increase conversion opportunities through internal search initiatives:
Internal Search:
Of your online audience who utilise the internal search, these users will convert 3 times on average more than other searches. The more products your online store contains, the more complex the navigation will be for customers. And who hasn't had the annoying experience of having to start all over from a site's home page after unsuccessful attempts to find a specific product?
Here are a few key areas:
Autocomplete and product suggestions:
Always check your paid search queries against your site search terms
Certain products are difficult to put a name to, while others are very similar (and can therefore create confusion). When your visitor starts to type the product name or reference in your site's search bar, your internal search engine should automatically start to suggest products from your catalogue. By tracking the performance of your automatic suggestions, you can see how relevant they are to users and then refine these suggestions
It's also important to note that site search can be a negative performance highlighter. If you've got users that have come in through a paid keyword onto a specific product page, why are they having to use site search? Always check your paid search queries against your site search terms. Drop on a paid segment and get analysing.
The moral of the story? Measure the number of times each product was displayed, as well as the number of clicks on the product. This will enable you to quickly determine a click rate which highlights the most attractive products.
Searches with no results:
two good reasons to know which keywords were entered into your internal search tool
Sometimes, a visitor might search for a product that you don't sell (or that you no longer carry). Hence there are two good reasons to know which keywords were entered into your internal search tool:
1. Guarantee that your offering matches up with demand and expectations
2. Ensure that a lack of results is not due to typos
While this second point is a question of optimising your internal search and ranking, the first point can help surface inconsistencies between your product offering and what customers are seeking. For example, if you sell mobile phones but not the matching accessories, most of your visitors will probably be frustrated. The internal search engine analysis can reveal what your customers are really looking for.
Chatbots will handle 85% of all customer service interactions by 2020
It's estimated that Chatbots will handle 85% of all customer service interactions by 2020 (and the average Internet user will have more conversations with bots than with their own spouse!).
If a user views a certain number of pages within the same category, or if he or she remains stuck without taking any action during a certain time frame, the chatbot will be triggered and a chat assistant will guide the visitor to the following step.
Practical case: Segment live chat visitors/users: To understand how a live chat feature is contributing to conversion on your site, create 3 population segments:
- visitors who did not interact with the live chat
- visitors who interacted for less than 5 minutes
- visitors who interacted for more than 5 minutes
Lister Pages:
To understand how lists are really being used, you must at least measure how the product is being displayed in the list and measure clicks on the product.
Be sure to differentiate between (a) impressions of the list containing the product (where the product is not necessarily visible above the fold), and (b) impressions where the product is indeed visible on the screen.
Set up your impression event to only trigger when your product is actually visible on the screen, above the fold. This will give you click rates that are truly accurate and actionable.

Everything we know about Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh's wedding
We know you've spent the night sleepless stalking the internet for the #DeepVeer wedding pictures (we know at least we have!) because the B-town hotties have successfully managed to keep the wedding affair a top-secret. Well we are super stoked for the newly weds and can't wait to see more of the wedding drama that unfolded.
Till they break the internet further with all that, here's what our spies know so far.
The Italian wedding -
The couple got hitched in Villa del Balbianello in Lake Como, Italy.
Yes, Como, where the recent Dolce & Gabanna AltaModa show happened and where James Bond went to recover (or fall in love) in Casino Royale. The serene landscape boasts of renaissance architecture and has romance written all over it.
The secrecy -
The couple apparently wanted to keep the whole affair hush-hush and very personal, sans all the regular crowd - reminds us of the Anniston x Theroux wedding. No papz were allowed and steam boats kept patrolling around the venue like watch dogs to snub any trespassing media cadre.
The rituals -
In keeping with their different traditions, there were two wedding ceremonies - the Konkani way on November 14 for the bride and an Anand Karaj ceremony honoring the groom's family traditions the following day while Shubha Mudgal kept the wedding parties and the guests entertained.
What they wore -
For the Anand Karaj ceremony - Deepika looked like a million dollar bride in a Sabya lehenga with princess-like accessorizing and Ranveer complimented her perfectly in a brocade sherwani and stack of bejeweled necklaces.
For the Kokani ceremony - she opted for a saree in gold silk with a matha patti and Mr. Singh casted his vote on a simple kurta and dhoti ensemble.
The Declaration -
The only two pictures doing the rounds are the ones the lovebirds posted on their personal Instagram accounts with a heart emoticon and the world goes on a double-tapping frenzy. Ranveer's post got over 2.5m likes in just a few hours and Mrs. Singh followed suit with over 3.5m likes.
The coincidence -
The wedding date coincided with the fifth anniversary of Ram Leela, their first movie together.
P.S. - Ms. Chopra and Mr. Jonas! We hope you are taking notes.
