Welcome to the buffet of adventure weekends.
Created in celebration of the popular Patapsco Valley State Park, Patapsco Trail Fest is a full weekend event of practically everything outdoors:
- Camping
- Trail running
- Mountain biking
- Rock climbing
- Kayaking
- Trail running
- Competitions
…plus beer gardens, food trucks, brand demos, and a playground and activities for the kids. Those competing in trail running races get a few extra benefits, such as tech-material event shirts, unique finisher medals, food truck and beer tickets.
Patapsco Valley State Park (PVSP) lies west of Baltimore, about an hour from Washington, DC. The 14,000 acre park serves many outdoorsy groups, including hikers, climbers, mountain bikers, and paddlers—all of which are being celebrated in this annual event, organized by Friends of Patapsco Valley State Park.
The Pickall area of Patapsco Valley has been reserved for the night of September 13th and 14th. This is a huge camping area typically reserved for large events. There will be more than enough space to pitch your tent, and nearby amenities like picnic shelters, fire pits, sport courts, and lots of open play fields.
Many of the event's food and beer facilities will be set up around the campsite, so you can think of this as a cool little "tiny town" for the weekend. There is also a free s'mores campfire party presented by REI on Saturday night.
Mountain Biking
With over 200 miles of rugged and diverse trail, Patapsco Valley is one of the nation's top mountain biking destinations. Mountain bikers make up a huge portion of PVSP's annual usage, so it's no surprise to see a large chunk of the itinerary dedicated to MTB activities.
More than a dozen races will be held, with Men's and Women's classes of varying distances and difficulty. There will also be a few non-competitive rides, including "fun rides" for families.
You can see all mountain bike races and events and register here.
The deadline for registration is September 1 for the discounted fee, and September 10 for general online registration.
Trail Running
True or false– trail running makes "regular" running look easy. True, obviously. Running through rugged trail terrain is challenging, gratifying, and really freaking fun. Whether you're jumping over fallen trees, pushing through a grueling hill, or trying to soar over a particularly muddy spot, it's hard to feel more alive than you do on the trail.
Challenge yourself with or a full or half trail-running marathon, or take it easy (ish) with a 11k, 6k, or 1-mile fun run. All runners receive a tech-material event shirt, a unique finisher medal, and free food truck and beer tickets.
You can see all trail running races and register here.
Rock Climbing
If you've been curious about rock climbing, this is a great weekend to give it a try. Local climbers from the American Alpine Club (including yours truly) are inviting the public to join them for an afternoon of supervised climbing- no experience or equipment necessary.
Already know your way around real rock? Join the American Alpine Club or check out one of the other few dozen climbing sites throughout the park. See Mountain Project for more details on climbing in Patapsco Valley State Park.
The Daniels area of Patapsco Valley State Park is a great kayaking spot, with calm waters, scenic surroundings, and various wildlife. The American Kayaking Association will be on-site, getting people in the water with guided tours, flatwater instruction, and general tips and information on kayaking .
Guided Hikes
With over 200 miles of trails, 70+ considered "highly maintained", Patapsco Valley State Park offers more than enough ground for a weekend full of hiking and exploration.
The Mountain Club of Maryland will be leading 5- and 8-mile hikes, while Patapsco Heritage Greenway will lead a 1-mile family-friendly hike and scavenger hunt. Of course, you're always welcome to explore on your own and get recommendations from the many hiking groups and aficionados at the event.
Get Involved
Learn more about Patapsco Trail Fest at their website, where more information is being added regularly.
You can also register for trail running and mountain bike races at those links. If you're interested in volunteering at Patapsco Trail Fest, email email@example.com
Hope to see you there! You can find me at the American Alpine Club table, unless I'm out gettin' muddy.

Govt, House urge for Ahmadiyyah decree to become law
The Jakarta Post, Jakarta
The government and legislators have called for the speedy issuance of a new law, based on a joint ministerial decree (SKB) on the Islamic minority sect Jamaah Ahmadiyyah, to ensure "more efficient" law enforcement relating to Ahmadis.
The joint decree was originally issued by the religious affairs minister, the home minister and the attorney general in 2008, in efforts to regulate what Ahmadiyyah followers could and could not do in terms of religious practice.
"After becoming law, it can serve as a legal basis for more effective law enforcement," Religious Affairs Minister Suryadharma Ali said early Thursday morning after a hearing with the House of Representatives' commission on religion.
"Making the decree into law will provide stronger legal grounds to maintain harmony among people of different faiths," he said.
Many have said the joint decree only reaffirms the community opposition to the minority, and has given some degree of legal backing to violent actions against Ahmadis, the worst of which was seen in Pandeglang, Banten, on Sunday, when three Ahmadis were brutally killed in a mob attack on their congregation.
However, the government has insisted the move would serve as a means to preventing communities from being further provoked by Ahmadis' activities, thus protecting the latter from violence.
Religious commission chairman Abdul Kadir Karding said the recent attack in Pandeglang was evidence that the ministerial decree needed to be made into law.
"With the recent situation, it is urgent that we immediately discuss and complete [deliberation of the bill]," Abdul said, as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.

What a Responsible Dog Owner Should do.
It is an amazing experience and enlightening as well as fun to have a dog for a pet. It is not only your companion but also your defender and a cuddly toy you can play with. This is why they are very common among people who are living alone or even big families. Just because you love dogs and would like to have one does not mean that you're going to be responsible. It is worth taking the time to learn more about taking care of dog before you get one. The first thing you should take care of is the training of the dog. If your dog is not trained you are going to have a noisy as well as a messy house. Untrained dogs chew anything they find on the way and you are not going to walk them with ease and they pee everywhere too. The truth is you are not going to love living with them and within a few days you will be tired and even think of taking them back. No matter how patient you are you are going to find yourself getting tired of them as time goes by. You can easily find dog training classes for you to enroll them into.
Dogs, just like human beings, treasure company. Therefore, ensure that they are not left on their own for long. If you are busy with your work, having a dog is not going to be the best idea for you unless you get somebody to be tending to it. Never leave the dog in a car when the temperatures are very high without somebody to take care of it. Additionally, you should have the dog micro-chipped. In case you lose the dog or it runs away you will be able to get it much faster compared to the situation occurring and there is no microchip. It should have a color tag which has a phone number, address and your name on it.
In caring for the dog, it means you should not leave its mess lying on your sidewalk. This is a very disgusting sight and you will be bothering your neighbors. If you have to go to public spaces make sure that you bring a bag to take to put the dog's mess in. Do not think that having a pet insurance is not necessary even if your dog is not prone to illnesses. The dog should not be left to run around alone. They need to exercise but this is not excuse to let them run around on their own.

How Agile PMOs Support Financial Planning
What does the latest research say about how Agile PMOs should be supporting financial strategies in digital businesses?
In the battle to win new customers, companies have turned to Agile practices to deliver software-based products and services.
CFOs in enterprises making positive headway in their digital transformations recognize that change is necessary, and they actively guide transformation by implementing financial strategies that remove obstacles to experimentation and innovation.
However, companies trying to scale digital initiatives are struggling to implement the flexible financial practices needed to sustain them.
In this webinar, Margo Visitacion, Vice President, Principal Analyst at Forrester Research, and Matt Light, Vice President, Strategy and Corporate Development at Planisware, discuss how Agile PMOs should take a center-of-excellence approach to deliver competencies in a service-oriented approach and to support streamlined portfolio management, budgeting, and value-tracking.
This webinar reflects research from Margo's recent report, "Digital Business Requires Agile Financial Planning," from the Performance Management: The Strategic Portfolio Management Playbook.

A Funny Joke by Rush: He wrote this joke on Vividblurry.com's comment section -- Q: Why does Helen Keller masturbate with only one hand?
The answer is: She moans with the other.
Good one, is it?
I Finally Understood Helmuth's Love: Last night, I went to visit a friend of mine's home to loiter and drink. Lots of Heineken were involved. Then popped the pill of Vicodin. That's it for the night. You're flying a-waaaaay! Tried to watch the tube but I feel like I was inside the television. It was very enjoyable and so relaxing. Even at 5 AM, I was amused at the dialogues and seriousness of Congressmen on C-SPAN TV. "Chair, I yield the 3 and half minutes to my dear friend and colleague, Senator ..."
When you mixed the alochol with vicodin, seeing the dialogues on C-SPAN are amusing, to say the least. I finally understood why Helmuth, another LW3 of mine, loved it.
Bali Boomed ... Again: According to this, 36 people were killed.
Tragic Fire: Great stuff to be made of.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A tragic fire on Monday destroyed the personal library of President George W. Bush. Both of his books have been lost.
Presidential spokesman Scott McClellan said the president was devastated, as he had not finished coloring the second one.
What a tragedy.
Evolution Is Real; Creationism Is Faith: Evolution is real, creationism is just a fantasy tale emerged from the world's biggest fraud: The Bible. Proof? Check this. But no, Xians will deny it. They are afraid that when they die, they will simple rot, cast to be forgotten. In 10,000 years, nobody remembers who I am. So do you. Which is why many Xians lingered on religions so that they can be "remembered" one way or other.
Hurricanes on Pacific Coast? It is rare for any hurricanes to twirl into the western part of Mexico and California. Most of the times, they tend to form off the coast of Mexico and rolled eastward following the ocean current. But according to this, Hurricane Otis is determined to hit Mexico's Baja California and when Otis do, they'll drench Phoenix and Tucson on Wednesday. So Chlms and Philip, have fun with Otis.
New Orleans Will Not Be Back: It will disintegrate, despite the empty promises GW Bush made about restoring the city of New Orleans. More and more people will leave the city when they realize that it is too much trouble to handle the devastation. Then New Orleans will dissipate into the likes of Jackson or Shreveport.
GW Bush Said FEMA Did A Great Job: Yeah, right.
I Still Hate Lance Armstrong: Lance proposed to Shery Crow for her hand in marriage. I'm very curious to know the side of Lance's ex-wife who took care of Lance when he was ill with Testicular Cancer but quickly and conveniently dumped her when he was healthy. Lance probably bought her cash to keep her from telling the world how bad person he is. After all, you do not hear anything about Lance's ex-wife at all. I'm certain that Lance is dickwad. Hope his cancer comes back and explode his damned balls.
Damn the Terrapins! I'm willing to bet that Darlene and Sandy Ewan will make a videophone tonight just to heckle at me because Maryland Terrapins has upset #21 Virginia Cavaliers football team, 45-33 at College Park. It is always hard to beat the Terrapins at their home floor.
Gallaudet Now 4-0: Gallaudet has routed Walter Reed, 60-14 to improve the season at 4-0. Up next is Wesley (JV) at Dover, Delaware. If the fates smiled upon me, I might head down to watch the game, greet Christian Burke and ... drool on Coach Ed Hottle.
A Progressive Sign That Texas Is Narrow-Minded State: A Catholic classroom had a book by Annie Proulx whose works also included Brokeback Mountain, a novel turned into a film about the Wyoming cowboys in love with each other. Texans whined and ojbected about it being in the high school classrom. Get a life.
Interesting Art: Too bad Merritt and Manny did not think of this!
I guess that would cover everything for the day.

EU denounces socialite's carbon offset project
How unusual. These projects usually received undiluted praise. Some get the Nobel Prize.
Is it possible that the unusually cold weather has affected the brains of the true believers?
A PIONEERING climate change project in Africa run by Robin Birley, the socialite, has been accused by the European commission, its main donor, of making unsubstantiated claims about its environmental impact.
The project has received more than £1m in public grants and money from celebrities in the music and film business. They include Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones and Brad Pitt, the actor.
The project attempts to offset an individual's carbon footprint by paying poor farmers in Mozambique to plant trees, which absorb CO2, and to protect existing forests.
The commission's criticism comes amid increased concern about the worth of these fashionable but largely unregulated carbon offset schemes. Critics say it is almost impossible to guarantee that the trees will survive the length of time needed to offset any significant carbon emissions.
The Sunday Times has obtained a highly critical report from the European commission that says "the quality of the technical work … [is] far below what could reasonably be expected of a pilot project managed by a university".
Written last May, just before the five-year funding period came to an end, the report noted that the project "continued to make positive claims about its impact that could not be substantiated".
The commission also warned that the money flowing into the Gorongosa area had attracted hundreds of poor farmers who were now cutting down trees, contrary to the project's intention.
An official source said: "We also asked for disclosure about carbon trades in the interest of transparency. None of this information was forthcoming. [Envirotrade] are selling products that are not delivering what was promised and the public needs to know."
Is it possible that the unusually cold weather has affected the brains of the true believers?

Fat Tuesday is this week and I've never been to Mardis Gras, but I absolutely love New Orleans. The city is so fun and so beautiful and the food is unreal. Of course, my initial thought for a Mardis Gras recipe was a King cake, but I wanted to give it my own little twist. I also considered a beignet because it's basically my favorite food in New Orleans. But I also want to keep my recipes as easy as possible. When I look at a recipe, even though I love baking, if it looks difficult or time-consuming I procrastinate on making it and then end up buying a box at the last minute. Some of it is probably that I love sweets way too much and just want the final product to be ready! But a lot of it is because I live in a tiny apartment with a teeny tiny kitchen and a complicated recipe is stressful. Especially when I know I can make something just as good with a lot less stress!

Pumpkin Chai Bread and the Boston Book Festival
I made this amazing, delicious Pumpkin Chai Bread with Cream Cheese Frosting, and I'll be sharing the recipe with you at the end of this post, but first I want to tell you a bit about my Saturday morning. I'd love for you to stick around and read about it, but if you're just here for the recipe you know where to find it!
Yesterday morning I had the opportunity to listen to a panel at the Boston Book Festival that consisted of Stella Parks from BraveTart and Serious Eats, Karen Akunowicz from Myers+Chang and Top Chef, and Joanne Chang from Myers+Chang and Flour Bakery. Each of these women have impacted my life in different ways, and seeing them all come together in one panel was a truly amazing experience.
Everything Muffins
I love everything bagels. I could live on them. So when I discovered Trader Joe's Everything But the Bagel seasoning I have been putting it on everything. Literally. Veggies. Meats. Potatoes. You name it! So of course, how could I not bake with it? Continue Reading
Chai Loaves
One of my favorite things in cold, snowy weather is chai. It's so comforting and warm and delicious! I only started drinking coffee in recent years, so a chai was my coffee shop go-to for the longest time. When we were first relocating to Boston and did not yet have internet in the apartment, I spent a lot of time at a local coffee shop in my neighborhood drinking chai after chai while working. That coffee shop has the best chai: it's so light and foamy and delicious! Continue Reading

Chicago Apartment Finders
Chicago Apartment Finders stays connected with Access One
The Situation
Business expansion demands a unified, reliable network
When Chicago Apartment Finders (CAF) grew from one location to four they needed a way to connect all locations on one network. They originally turned to a different provider, and over the course of a two-year period had issues with their service offerings, the provider's customer support as well as the IT consultant. This resulted in both inefficiencies and financial losses.
The Solution
Access One introduced CAF to Virtual Private Network (VPN), a solution that better fit their business objectives
VPN served as a better way to unite CAF's Network, creating ease of use for file transfers and data prioritization. It also ended up being a more cost effective solution. CAF had worked with Access One for other services and was aware of the excellent customer service and fast implementation turnaround times they provided. This helped CAF feel secure in their decision to switch carriers.
The Results
Access One served as the single point of contact for all data and voice services
Access One account representative referred a new IT consultant to CAF who continues to provide excellent guidance
The new VPN created a disaster recovery path for CAF's HQ voice circuit
VPN created a monthly savings of roughly 22% compared to the prior setup
Access One is a business technology services and communications provider, dedicated to world-class technologies and an award-winning client experience. Founded in 1993, Access One strives to provide businesses with seamless technology services that scale and evolve along with their business. Custom-tailored solutions can be delivered modularly, or as a complete, end-to-end service, providing an unrivaled level of accountability for clients' communications, managed IT and cloud-based services.

In March 1948, the Haganah and other Zionist militias began the forcible expulsion 250,000 Palestinians, destroying their communities.
The British Mandate of Palestine ended on 15 May 1948 and Jewish leaders declared the establishment of the State of Israel. War broke out and Israeli forces defeated the Arab armies.
When the armistice agreements were signed in 1949, over 750,000 Palestinians had been displaced and 531 Palestinian villages and 11 urban neighbourhoods had been destroyed.
The West Bank and East Jerusalem came under the control of Jordan while the Gaza Strip came under Egyptain control. In June 1967, Israel launched the Six Day War and occupied these territories, together with the Golan Heights in Syria.

Still not convinced WAIMA is the martial arts school for you?
Don't take our word for it… hear from some of our members on their experiences at WAIMA, we have many great success stories to share on how martial arts has transformed people's lives.
Brooke had her 9th Birthday Party at WAIMA Sat 23 July 2011. Brooke and her 18 friends had a fantastic time. The Instructors taking Brooke's party provided plenty of fun, exciting, challenging games, activities and moves.
The Instructors did an amazing job and we were surprised at how much the children enjoyed themselves and actively participated. We didn't know what to expect from a 'karate party' but it was by far the best party we have held for Brooke. Brooke was made to feel special and it was a joy to watch Brooke and all her friends have such a good time. Many thanks.
Phil and Lynne Bradshaw
It means more than I can describe/express on paper. Being part of the Black Belt Club will help me to stay positive and mentally grow stronger while I keep moving on forward through my life challenges. It will also help me to stay physically and psychologically strong. Being a member of WAIMA now for 20 months and I can't thank WAIMA enough for how much they have taught me about myself.
At times I have felt like giving up on myself but the positive self image, pride, and courage I have learnt from WAIMA up to this point has shown me more to life. I can't imagine what I can learn about myself and other by being part of the black belt club but I know it will be special.
Louise Cooper
Thanks for all your efforts this year, Alex has really enjoyed it. He has come a long way in terms of concentration, controlling his feelings, interaction with his peers and physical capabilities. I hope he continues with his training as I believe the leadership group at WAIMA provides an excellent example of positive role modelling.
David Snape
I really have to say thank you.
My son has come a long way since starting karate. He was so shy and hardly listened. Since starting karate his confidence has tripled… it shocks me when he confidently speaks to strangers (good strangers) and he sounds so grown up.
He is proud of his achievements and progress and is developing strength, commitment, and resilience where before he would easily give up, karate has helped him with this you are all wonderful teacher.
I always recommend you and will continue to at every opportunity.
Angie Draca
Our son started with WAIMA six months ago, in that time we have seen a huge change in his confidence, his resiliency, and his inner strength. These changes have been noted not only by us but his school teachers, friends, and sporting coaches.
The instructors at WAIMA are outstanding, they are so intuitive and know just when to give that extra bit of encouragement or instruction. The instructors are inspirational and full of enthusiasm and energy. Our son looks forward to going to WAIMA each and every week and we feel privileged to be part of WAIMA.
Thank you for everything you have done for our son.

In early versions of UVD, video post-processing is passed to the pixel shaders and OpenCL kernels. MPEG-2 decoding is not performed within UVD, but in the shader processors. The decoder meets the performance and profile requirements of Blu-ray and HD DVD, decoding H.264 bitstreams up to a bitrate of 40 Mbit/s. It has context-adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC) support for H.264/AVC.
Unlike video acceleration blocks in previous generation GPUs, which demanded considerable host-CPU involvement, UVD offloads the entire video-decoder process for VC-1 and H.264 except for video post-processing, which is offloaded to the shaders. MPEG-2 decode is also supported, but the bitstream/entropy decode is not performed for MPEG-2 video in hardware. Previously, neither ATI Radeon R520 series' ATI Avivo nor NVidia Geforce 7 series' PureVideo assisted front-end bitstream/entropy decompression in VC-1 and H.264 - the host CPU performed this work.[7] UVD handles VLC/CAVLC/CABAC, frequency transform, pixel prediction and inloop deblocking, but passes the post processing to the shaders.[8] Post-processing includes denoising, de-interlacing, and scaling/resizing. AMD has also stated that the UVD component being incorporated into the GPU core only occupies 4.7 mm² in area on 65 nm fabrication process node.
A variation on UVD, called UVD+, was introduced with the Radeon HD 3000 series. UVD+ support HDCP for higher resolution video streams.[9] But UVD+ was also being marketed as simply UVD.
The UVD saw a refresh with the release of the Radeon HD 4000 series products. The UVD 2 features full bitstream decoding of H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, VC-1, as well as iDCT level acceleration of MPEG2 video streams. Performance improvements allow dual video stream decoding and Picture-in-Picture mode. This makes UVD2 full BD-Live compliant.
The UVD 2.2 features a re-designed local memory interface and enhances the compatibility with MPEG2/H.264/VC-1 videos. However, it was marketed under the same alias as "UVD 2 Enhanced" as the "special core-logic, available in RV770 and RV730 series of GPUs, for hardware decoding of MPEG2, H.264 and VC-1 video with dual-stream decoding". The nature of UVD 2.2 being an incremental update to the UVD 2 can be accounted for this move.
UVD 3 adds support for additional hardware MPEG2 decoding (entropy decode), DivX and Xvid via MPEG-4 Part 2 decoding (entropy decode, inverse transform, motion compensation) and Blu-ray 3D via MVC (entropy decode, inverse transform, motion compensation, in-loop deblocking).[10][11] along with 120 Hz stereo 3D support,[12] and is optimized to utilize less CPU processing power. UVD 3 also adds support for Blu-ray 3D stereoscopic displays.[citation needed]
UVD 4 includes improved frame interpolation with H.264 decoder.[13] UVD 4.2 was introduced with the AMD Radeon Rx 200 series and Kaveri APU."X.ORG Radeon UVD (Unified Video Decoder) Hardware-UVD4.2: KAVERI, KABINI, MULLINS, BONAIRE, HAWAII". May 2016.
UVD 5 was introduced with the AMD Radeon R9 285. New to UVD is full support for 4K H.264 video, up to level 5.2 (4Kp60).[14]
The UVD 6.0 decoder and Video Coding Engine 3.1 encoder were reported to be first used in GPUs based on GCN 3, including Radeon R9 Fury series and "Carrizo"-APUs,[15][16] followed by AMD Radeon Rx 300 Series (Pirate Islands GPU family) and AMD Radeon Rx 400 Series (Arctic Islands GPU family).[17] The UVD version in "Fiji" and "Carrizo"-based graphics controller hardware is also announced to provide support for High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC, H.265) hardware video decoding, up to 4K, 8-bits color (H.265 version 1, main profile);[18][19][20] and there is support for the 10bit-color HDR both H.265 and VP9 video codec in the AMD Radeon 400 series with UVD 6.3.[21][22][23]
The UVD 7.0 decoder and Video Coding Engine 4.0 encoder are included in the Vega based GPUs.[24][25] But there is still no fixed function VP9 hardware decoding.[26]
Main article: Video Core Next
Starting with the integrated graphics of the Raven Ridge APU (Ryzen 2200/2400G), the former UVD and VCE have been replaced by the new "Video Core Next" (VCN). VCN 1.0 adds full hardware decoding for the VP9 codec.
As of April 2014, there are two versions of VCE.[1] Version 1.0 supports H.264 YUV420 (I & P frames), H.264 SVC Temporal Encode VCE, and Display Encode Mode (DEM).

Most people are led to believe that a chainsaw is all that we need to perform a tree removal, but this could not be further from the truth. Even though do make use of chainsaws and other tools to safely bring the tree to the ground, its roots will stay in place below the surface. When left below the ground, the roots can certainly prevent another tree from growing within a several-yard radius.

A bookshop is an outlet with core motive of retailing books either in whole sale or singly to end users. I have received emails and calls with reference to this business, they ask if investing into or if opening a bookshop is a worthwhile investment and not pouring money down the drain, many pleaded that I make post or just publish an article on it. For as many that called or email in request of this information I dedicate this article to you, sorry it took so long. But hey, Abode Business only make publish of known well fact as we research carry out survey s before letting you know about it. Quickly let's see reasons why starting up a bookshop in Nigeria are a profitable and factors that makes it profitable.
With the high population In Nigeria and the everlasting consistent quest for knowledge both by the young and the old the need bookshops is inevitable.
With the high population In Nigeria and the everlasting consistent quest for knowledge both by the young and the old the need bookshops is inevitable.
Primarily, how many numbers of nursery, primary and secondary school are in Nigeria? (read also our article on:- how to start a private school in Nigeria) and how many pupils are in this nursery, primary and secondary school?- it's of the saying that nobody goes to farm without cutlass and hoe, also the saying is applicable here as nobody goes to school without books and all this books can only be sourced from bookshops. Equating the demand on books to the demand for pupils in Nigeria, nursery, primary and secondary schools the demand for bookshops I still maintain is highly needed. Previously I have written an outline on how to start exercise book manufacturing business (click through to read).
Secondary, how many number of polytechnics, college of education and universities (both private and government owned) in Nigeria and then how many studies are in this institution of higher and then how many student are in this institution of higher learning? Jamb statistics reveals that millions student applied for jamb this year and also the NYSC also have it that thousands of graduates is being produced by various institution of higher learning all over Nigeria. Of these million students they on daily bases depend on book on different authors for their learning and knowledge acquisition.
Tertiary, how many graduates are in Nigeria? How many MBA, PhD holders are in Nigeria? And how many professors are in Nigeria? They also depends consistently on books for further knowledge or just to broaden their knowledge in this various topic of interest and there again all this books for any of the above mentioned motive are gotten from no other place but from bookshops and stores nationwide.
Conclusion, the needs for books in growing economy like ours can never be overemphasized, books are a daily need (voluntary or involuntary) it's also a necessity to man just as food is. The success of an economy sometimes depends on the literacy or knowledge of the population. So invariably bookshop s in Nigeria is proven to be rewarding and lucrative for investors.
Factors of profit in this business
Basically bookshop business is of two types based on the stock i.e. bookshop on sale of used books and bookshops on sale of new books.
The former have its challenges I would prefer the later as its entails much profit and easy sales but you can choose otherwise as some people are currently into it and are making it. But before you go into any do some research. Haven decided below are some factors that determine success and its
· Capital – availability of capital is essential in the type of business as you will need to rent stock and employ sales person's (optional if you're interested)
· Apartment- now you need a show room or outlet for scale of your books- this can your own apartment or rented apartment depending on the scale your world love to start a one room to hall can be rented.
· Location- among this entire factor this issue of location shouldn't be taken lightly as it determines almost 50% of your success in this business. No matter how stock your shop/store is, no matter the quality of books your willing to sell if your shop is located in an isolated area sparsely dense profit will be meager. In sitting your bookstore or bookshop one should consider a location densely populated with pedestrian pathway or busy road better still one should consider a location in major market or best one should consider a location in or near an established learning institution. You can also propose to supply books to schools near you.
Conclusion – the business of bookshop in Nigeria for many reasons is remains a profitable, worthwhile and lucrative investment for as many Nigerians that have passion for books and would want to invest into it. There is so many other information you should consider before venturing into this business such as
Where to get books- maybe through importation from other countries like US or UK
How to price books to buy
Import policy for books
Where to buy books in whole sale in Nigeria at cheap rate
How to price tag your books
Kind of book niche you would want to specialize
Providing solutions to these questions above will really go a long way to attain success in this business. This and other information you should really consider so I advice you conduct research and ask question before final decision for more information or related question you can email or call me for help or better use the comment box.

No. 28 thinQ Technology Partners Ford Mustang
"Daytona can be a really frustrating track. We made great strides from our two practice sessions yesterday and the car was handling pretty good throughout the race. I decided to stay with the front pack to gain as much experience as I could during the first two stages. Unfortunately, we were short on fuel and had to make a stop that had us restarting in the back with not many laps to go. And as it so often happens at plate races, we were a victim of circumstance and got collected in the big one. We were able to continue running with damage after that, but then we cut a left-rear tire that turned us into the outside wall and ended our day. Our crew guys worked hard over the off season on this car and it's disappointing that our race ended as it did. I want to thank JGL Racing and thinQ Technology Partners for giving me this opportunity. I am looking forward to getting back on track in Atlanta next weekend."

A number of media reports state that the U.S. gave Pakistan $1.5 billion dollars in aid last year.
What did we get in return ?
Lets see, 1.5 BILLION to Pakistan & I have not had a raise in 4 years while the cost of living goes up 4%+ every year,,

Ok, Mayans said we are suppose to die on Dec. 21, 2012, who chose the August 11, 3114 B.C. date the calender begin counting ??
Are the Mayans the "experts" to know that the world will only last 5,126 years ? Is that lunar years like most ancient calenders or solar years ? OOH NOO,,what if the world began before Aug. 11th, 3114 BC ?
5126 years, OK, why is the current Jewish year 5771 ? Isn't that more than 5126 years ?
I think the Mayans drank too much tequila &…Continue

At the heart of the energy transition, BienVEnu is a simple solution for the installation Electric Vehicles Supply Equipment (EVSE, or charging stations) and car-sharing (self-service vehicles) in collective housing. It was developed in response to electric mobility development and especially the need to charge electric vehicles in condominiums.
G2mobility is a partner of the BienVEnu project, the supplier of part of the EVSE but also the G2box, a local management tool compliant with OCPP* charge points. The G2box offers advanced performance optimization, security and Smart Charging features, co-developed with Centrale Supélec in the framework of the BienVEnu project.
The G2box allows the implementation of a charging policy adapted to users' needs and energy infrastructure constraints. These smart charging strategies aim to optimize EVSE costs, reduce charging cost and its environmental impact, while meeting vehicle charging expectations.
The other partners of the BienVEnu project are:
- ENEDIS: power connection and measures offer;
- Centrale Supélec: charging algorithm offer and study;
- Clem': car-sharing offer;
- Nexans: internal wiring and EVSE supply;
- Park'n Plug: EVSE installation and management offer;
- Tetragora: psycho-sociological study;
- Trialog: communication standards compliance;
- ADEME and Ile-de-France: financial support.
In the following video, the first feedbacks on the experiment of BienVEnu in the Paris region in France:
* OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) is an open communication standard that allows charging stations and monitoring systems from different providers to easily communicate with each other.

What is Carbonized Bamboo Flooring – Carbonized bamboo flooring is a kind of floor covering with carbonized completing, supplying a dark brownish-yellow color on the surface just like the shade of young teak wood. This article is all about Home Legend bamboo flooring, and we'll review the options they have available. Before we get into the specific brands and types, we'll touch on bamboo flooring in general and what you can reasonably expect from the product. We'll compare Home Legend bamboo flooring to other products on the market and see how it compares. Before we get into the specifics of Home Legend's engineered bamboo flooring, we should talk about the product in general to give you a sense of what it's all about.
Basically laminate bamboo flooring is a substance created by compressing bamboo fibers into a mold and then treating it in a certain way that brings out various colors and textures. Laminate bamboo flooring is molded in a way that lets it 'click' together with great ease. This means that anyone can install home legend bamboo flooring, or any laminate flooring for that matter, in a snap.
Because it it compressed, bamboo laminate flooring is both durable and flexible. Carbonized bamboo flooring has essentially been heat treated in order to darken the texture. For more information regarding laminate bamboo flooring and the carbonization process, check out my bamboo flooring review article (will post link later). When it comes to bamboo flooring, Home Legend is a fantastic choice for a lot of reasons. First off, the company is well known for producing a quality floor product even outside of its bamboo offerings. Caring for any laminate flooring is important, but it's definitely lower maintenance than any 'real wood' choices.
There are literally thousands of options for flooring out there; what Home Legend brings to the table is quality and proprietary technology intended to improve the experience of the buyer in installation and use. A major concern for many people when choosing laminate flooring is durability, and Home Legends bamboo flooring takes this into consideration. Since bamboo is actually a grass and not a wood, they have taken extra care to coat it 7 times with a coating intended to extend its life and avoid scuffs, scrapes and marring.
Most other reviewers agree: these laminate bamboo floors will outlast many other options on the market, and continue to look great for a long time. Home Legend bamboo flooring is an easy to install product, and their website offers many videos and guides on how to put it in place. Here are some examples of great Home Legend bamboo floors you can buy and easily install.

UA Little Rock names new provost
Dr. Christina Drale has been named interim executive vice chancellor and provost at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, effective Nov. 1.
Drale has served in administrative roles at UA Little Rock since 2006, first as associate dean of the College of Professional Studies and most recently as associate vice chancellor for faculty relations and administration. She currently serves on several strategic committees including the Higher Learning Commission Accreditation Steering Team, the Institutional Effectiveness Committee, and the UA Little Rock Diversity Council.
Drale has a Ph.D. in sociology, a Master of Arts in sociology, and a Bachelor of Arts in communications, all from the University of California, San Diego.
She replaces Dr. Velmer Burton, who has served as provost since July 2017. Burton will transition to a new campus leadership role of senior vice chancellor for university strategy and performance.
"This move will better utilize his senior administrative experiences and skills to help the university meet our strategic goals while tightening our budget," Chancellor Andrew Rogerson said.
Burton will also work to improve program offerings and student enrollment at the UA Little Rock Benton campus, an area with much untapped potential for growth.

Her figure is beyond reproach, flexibility and her ass is perfect. He stands and while his naked girlfriend does a head stand, he penetrates and fucks her tight twat! Just look at this babe, she is so hot. Then she stood up and sucked his cock from above before she came back and continued bouncing on that cock. Then with her panties pulled down we spend some time just ogling her naked pussy and ass.
She rides his dick in cowgirl and reverse, showing off her bubble ass on his camera. After this, she gets on top and starts riding the big fat dick.

March 2019
Hello there,
Spring here. Winter has decided not to be bothered this year. Poor thing, worn out dumping snow on Austria. So I thought I'd come early!
I hope you don't mind?
Kind regards
March 2018
Waltzing with wispy, willow trees
The bitter east wind does as it, please.
The wilful winter had returned once
To chill our bones and hearts for sure.
The spring has retreated and hidden its head
Turned on its heels and returned to bed.
I thought you were coming out to play?
Of course when it's warmer, perhaps in May!

Reviewed by Debbie Talbot
I was delighted to be given the opportunity of reviewing www.logojoy.com, which uses artificial intelligence to instantly logos, as we are currently rebuilding our ecommerce website www.footiemad.co.uk. I must admit as a complete technological novice, I was rather apprehensive about designing my own logo and whether it would turn out looking professional enough. I needn't have worried.
On the homepage of the www.logojoy.com website I started by inputting Footiemad.co.uk where it says enter your company name. The next step was to pick 5 or more logos I like. I liked quite a few, so it was great that the software allowed for such a flexible number. After clicking on all of the logo designs I liked, I clicked continue which took me onto the colour selection screen. Here I could pick any colours I like. I chose black and dark green. After clicking continue, I arrived at a screen where I could type in an optional slogan. I input Official Football Merchandise and clicked continue.
Now for the symbols I like. I input soccer into the search box. I then choose all the symbols I liked which came up. My choices were a football, a football being kicked and a football and goal. I then clicked continue.
Now for the really fun part. Various designs were displayed, and I could then click on my chosen design and change various elements of the design. I clicked the button to change the background to white and then the slogan and symbol buttons to make them green. It is easy to work out what to do to change the colours.
I was happy with the font used, but there is a menu option to change it.
I then clicked preview to see my design mocked up on a business, t-shirts etc. I then clicked buy to go through the checkout process. The available options cost $20 for basic where you get a low-resolution logo. This option wouldn't suit me as I would like to use my logo in print. I therefore selected the middle option which is a one-time charge of $65.
This option includes the following:
High resolution logo
Vector EPS & SVG files
Transparent background
Black/white versions
Lifetime phone support
Font names & colours
Full copyright ownership
Make changes and re-download
Print ready
Brand guidelines
I think it's great that you can phone for help and that you are given the font names and colours. There is nothing worse than trying to keep your website and marketing materials the same font and colours when you have no idea what they are. This is a situation I have been in several times before.
Full copyright ownership is really important. The high-resolution logo is a necessity for business cards, compliment slips etc.
Going through check out was a simple process. I then clicked to download my logo. It arrived as a zip file. I also viewed my brand guidelines. I am pretty much self-taught in marketing, having only studied one marketing module whilst at university, so receiving guidelines was really helpful. I had to choose a unique URL where myself and others can view the brand guidelines. Logojoy even provided the html code to put onto my website so that a banner displays which says View our Brand Guidelines. You can view them here: https://logojoy.com/b/footiemad.
I am over the moon with the end result. I prefer it to the logo we are currently using. The software is really easy to use and intuitive. I would use the software to design other logos and would recommend it to anyone needing a new logo. I did also want to mention how lovely and patient the staff are at Logojoy. I wanted to clarify some things and they were really friendly and patient with me.
I would have to rate them 5/5, and I would score them 10 if I could. I am so chuffed that I managed to design my own smart looking logo.
Rating: 5/5
Pricing from $20 (basic) to $165 (enterprise)
