Talking about those few excellent fishing rods, this Ugly Stik GX2 Spinning Rod is an outstandingly supportive product. Excellent make of the product along with the exceedingly balanced structure of the product makes its integrity.

Contents Table
Body and Durability
The body of any fishing rod is definitely the backbone reason related to the durability of the product. This is the case with this Ugly Stik GX2 Spinning Rod too. It is having a body that is well balanced and at the same time is going to give you the durability that is going to exceed your expectations for sure.
This device is having a lightweight structure that is just over the limit of 13 oz. Thus you can understand that the product is neither too light nor too heavy to be used. This is the major feature that is going to give you an output that will never disappoint you.
Guides and Construction
The guide is the thing in a fishing rod that adds an extra supportive feature to it. To be very accurate that is the part which decides the balance of the device to be held during a casting. The guide here is made of stainless steel and that makes the device's foundation very much strong and well-built.
The construction of the Ugly Stik GX2 Spinning Rod is made in two parts. The length of the device is near to 7 feet, but the height is distributed into two different parts will not give pain to the new users. They can adjust the total height with the rear part and that is going to give them better access to grip the rod.
Strength and Sensitivity – The Long Caster
In any of the device that you own for your angling support, there are two things that you look at. The first of them is definitely the dragging force that you can apply. This Ugly Stik GX2 Spinning Rod will allow you to drag a better force since the device is very much balanced and its foundation is very strong.
In terms of strength for casting, the long well built get up of the rod makes it a long mover and you can well cast it for fishing a salmon, putting your ground on the shores. So, what more? This is one of the loveliest sets that are available in the entire market.
Gripping Ease
Usually, you will find two types of grips in the fishing rods. The first of them is of aero-glass, whereas the second one is made of rubber. Gripping in case of aero-glass becomes tougher, as it slips down a lot. On the other hand, the rubber grip allows you to grip well, but with time they get corroded and then you are exposed to the main body itself. Thus, in all cases, you face the same issue, in one way or the other.
This is not the case with the Ugly Stik GX2 Spinning Rod. In this case, the product is having an EVA grip that allows you a better grip and at the same time provides better durability reducing the case of corrosion. However, too much exposure of the same opens it up towards erosion and ultimately the handle gets loosened up. Another thing here is about the comfort factor. Rubber grips are much more comfortable providing than EVA handles.
FAQs About Ugly Stik GX2 Spinning Rod
What is the exact weight of the fishing rod?
The exact weight of the Ugly Stik GX2 Spinning Rod is 12.6 oz.
What is the total height of the rod?
The total height of the rod including the two parts and the grip is 7 feet.
What is the strength of the rod?
The strength of the rod is Medium.
The fishing rod is one of the essential elements that are used by any angler and each of the anglers are very much choosy about those. There are different things that are attached to it, but the most important thing here is regarding the balance and the sensitivity of it. In both the aspects, this Ugly Stik GX2 Spinning Rod is one of the best fishing stick that is available in the online store. So, have this item and make your angling much easy.

Our employees do amazing work in challenging environments. We are the expert "pit crew" supporting our customer so they are always able to achieve mission success. Our teams go wherever our customer needs us to go, and we adapt to perform whatever they need us to do.
At a forward operating base in Afghanistan, our resourceful IT team built there own offices and workspace, including repairing surplus air conditioners.
Knowing how to adapt to different cultural environments is also very important for success. Managers sometimes wear local clothing as a sign of respect when meeting with Afghans, as shown in the photo above. We have employees from more than 20 countries working at locations around the world, which creates a fascinating workplace. Our values of integrity, respect and responsibility help us bridge the differences between people and work as a team no matter where we are.
When a mountain pass needs to be cleared in Afghanistan to support a police facility for the Afghan National Security Forces, there's no one to call with snow clearing equipment, so we hired local Afghans to help us open the pass.
We tackle enormous jobs for our customers, such as this water bottle recycling project on a base in Kuwait. We are looking for employees who can help us improve efficiency, provide excellent service and work safely in often dangerous environments.
With all the challenges we face, it also helps to have the right attitude and know how to have fun. In this photo, employees at Vectrus headquarters in Colorado Springs compete in a Halloween costume contest.

In 2008, Barack Obama announced Joe Biden as his choice for Vice President…
Over a text message. To more than three million Americans.
Some publishers call that message the most important text in SMS history.
And despite your political leanings, you have to admit the savvy behind Obama's decision to reveal his Vice President in such a personal way.
As one commentator points out,
"He knew how important and personal it was to the people. This clever bit of campaigning helped him rally millions of voters to his side and generate record contributions from contributors."
But… it makes you wonder.
What was really so special about that moment? Why do people all around the U.S consider that text message to be so important?
Well, the reason is quite simple. Obama reached out to a massive amount of people individually in a matter of moments.
And if you could leverage that same power as a marketer, then that would be amazing.
With chatbots, you can.
The rise of chatbots and messaging platforms allows corporations to create that same speedy, intimate effect.
And it does it far better than email ever could.
How, you ask?
Well let me explain.
Why Messaging Is Faster Than Email And Why That Matters
No. Messaging is not faster than email.
At least, not technically speaking.
Both email and messaging platforms deliver messages to inboxes within moments. And if there is a difference, it's negligible, most likely sitting somewhere in microseconds.
But we're not talking about technical speed. We're talking about your ability to reach customers and clients quickly.
And that's a whole lot different than determining how long a message takes to travel between devices.
Said another way, we're not asking how long messages take to travel through digital space, but how you can reach your customers quickly.
For that, messaging beats emails.
First, 60% of people around the world have a mobile phone. And, in 2013, that number was increasing at a rate of about 4% every year.
Usage for those mobile phones is equally impressive, with 51% of internet access happening on mobile instead of desktop or other devices.
According to the Huffington Post, people check their phones an average of 85 times per day.
In other words, people don't just have phones, but they regularly — if not obsessively — check those phones for messages and notifications.
What about email, though?
Well, the largest portion — 39% of people — check their email one to three times per day.
Clearly, if you're trying to reach your customers quickly, email isn't the answer.
Messenger platforms, though, might just be.
In fact, people are so addicted to their phones that nomophobia has now been coined as the fear of being unable to access your smartphone.
One researcher says,
"Our smartphones have turned into a tool that provides short, quick, immediate satisfaction, which is very triggering. Our neurons get fired and dopamine is being released, and over time this makes us acquire a desire for quick feedback and immediate satisfaction. This process also has contributed to developing shorter attention spans and being more and more prone to boredom."
Lucky for you, marketers can leverage the compulsive habits — or fears — of consumer-phone relationships by using messenger apps.
And the versatility with which they can do that is practically endless. Pura Vida Bracelets uses chatbots to target cart abandoners, Sephora to learn about its customers, and 1-800-Flowers to run a flower-delivery service.
All of those advantages, though, revolve around one overarching benefit. It's the same reason we keep harping on mobile, here.
In particular, you can reach your audiences faster because… well, they spend virtually every waking moment connected to their smartphones.
Since you're connected to their smartphones through chatbots, you can reach them whenever you want.
And that quick pace is transforming the marketing environment in four noteworthy ways.
Here they are.
1. You Can Immediately Target Cart Abandoners
In 2016, consumers abandoned 77% of online shopping carts.
That's three-quarters of the people visiting your website, adding to cart, and leaving.
Discouraged yet?
Fortunately, you don't need to be.
To prove it, consider the top reasons that people abandon their shopping cart.
As you'll notice, the biggest reason by a long shot — sitting at 61% — is because costs climbed too high.
Maybe shipping costs discouraged them, or maybe tacked on fees and taxes did the trick.
Whatever the case, that's a problem you can easily solve.
It's called offering a discount. And the quicker you reach out to those people with a sale, the better.
One study of over 2,200 U.S companies discovered that leads were seven times more likely to have a meaningful conversation with decision makers if the company reached out to them within the hour.
Unfortunately, traditional methods just aren't cutting it, with 7% of companies responding to customer queries within five minutes and 50% not even responding after a full five days.
What does all of that mean?
It means that people are most susceptible to you changing their mind if you reach out to them quickly.
Fortunately, messaging platforms are darn good at doing that.
Take a Facebook Message I received from Pura Vida Bracelets after abandoning my cart as an example.
Within minutes, I received this message.
Then, the next day, they sent me this message.
Here's the smartest thing they did with this cart abandonment follow-up campaign, though. They offered a discount.
61% of people leave because the price got too high. But messenger platforms allow you to contact the customer and offer a discount on the items they left in their cart.
And they allow you do that within minutes rather than days.
2. You Can Quickly Upsell Existing Customers
Do you know the probability of selling to a new customer?
5% to 20%.
What about an existing customer?
60% to 70%.
That's a massive difference.
And perhaps the easiest way to get existing customers to pay more money is by upselling them on the next product in your arsenal.
They buy shoes, you offer them matching socks. They buy a Star-Wars T-shirt, you offer them a Star-Wars jacket.
Amazon has been using this tactic for ages.
And the world's largest online retailer doesn't do so flippantly. They do it because it works. Amazon knows that offering follow-up products gradually increases the average price per order, benefiting their ROI.
Lucky for you, you don't have to leave this tactic to the giants of online business.
You can use the same upselling tactics.
And you can do it where your customers are already hanging out — on messaging apps.
Take the 1-800-Flowers chatbot, for instance.
Once the user chooses a set of flowers, they select a date for delivery.
And while 1-800-Flowers doesn't actually use an upsell tactic, they easily could integrate one.
"Oh! You love those flowers? So do we! Here are some chocolates that we think match the bouquet perfectly."
"Great selection of roses! Would you like us to add a personal note for just another $5?"
With a tactic like that, you'll quickly increase the price of each order and your overall ROI.
Plus, since you're reaching the customer in the middle of the transaction, they're more like to buy the add-on item.
It's like when you're checking out at the grocery store, and you pass all the candy bars in line at the end.
Those are practically irresistible.
The same is true for your chatbot upsells.
3. You Can Follow Up With SQLs Instantaneously
The speed of chatbots isn't just changing the B2C world. It's also changing the B2B world.
In particular, it's changing how sales professionals can reach out to Sales Qualified Leads (SQL).
Email has been the tactic of choice for sales departments for a long time. They segment their campaigns, A/B test their emails, and send the best of the group.
But… it's still not working.
Fast Company found, for instance, that its average cold email reply rate sat around 1.7%.
That's horrific.
And it's even more disturbing when you find out just how important it is to follow up with leads quickly.
Only 2% of sales are made on the first contact, and yet 48% of sales teams never follow up with a prospect.
80% of sales, on the other hand, are made on the fifth to twelfth contact.
The point?
You need to follow up with prospects and email isn't working.
Might chatbots hold the answer?
It's possible that, over the next few years, we'll see more and more B2B companies use chatbots on messenger platforms to reach their prospects.
Especially since the chatbot conversion rate is about 266% higher even than social advertisements.
Consider this email, for instance.
There's no reason you couldn't send a similar message through a chatbot.
And since messenger platforms reach your customer far faster than email does, the response rate is often better. Meaning all of the energy you spent following up doesn't go to waste.
One survey by CONVRG gave away coupons on its chatbot and received three times higher response rate than the traditional email campaign.
The truth is simple and the application, even simpler.
People want you to follow up with them quickly and messenger platforms are the best place for you to do that.
4. You Can Deliver Curated Content To Users Within Seconds
Email campaigns have unintentionally turned content curation into a crapshoot.
Most the time, businesses create a piece of content they hope will apply to their audience's fears, needs, and desires, but the results are often mixed.
Sure, you can segment your email campaigns, using savvy technology to group people into the appropriate division and then serve up content that applies to each segmentation.
But there's a problem… people change.
And segmentation tends toward being a bit too rigid.
The good news though, is that if you're like most content marketers, you have a massive database of content.
60% of content marketers create at least one piece of content every single day.
You can use all of that content to cater to different people at different times.
Consider, for example, how the Whole Foods Market chatbot does this.
Here's the wonderful thing about chatbots. Since you can ask the users questions, you can deliver content that's relevant to them that very day.
No one is the same from day to day — except for maybe Santa Clause… he never changes.
And because of that, you need a way to deliver curated content to the right people at the right time.
In fact, 57% of marketers said that custom content was their top priority in 2014.
And that's for a good reason. 61% of consumers' buying decisions are influenced by custom content.
But you definitely don't have the bandwidth to do all of that content curation manually.
Fortunately, with chatbots, you don't have to.
You can serve curated content to people when they want it — finally acknowledging the fact that everyone changes from day to day.
The content you deliver should change as well.
Now, you can reach your customers within minutes rather than days.
Many people don't just check their phones regularly, they also keep their messaging app notifications buzzing.
Which means that the moment your chatbot sends a message is the same moment that the customer hears from you.
Not hours, days, weeks, or even months later, like traditional marketing methods often force.
And there are four primary ways that marketing is transforming because of that increase in speedy outreach.
In particular, you can target cart abandoners, upsell existing customers, follow up with SQLs, and deliver curated content faster than ever before.
What used to take hours now takes seconds.
Not because chatbots are faster technologically, but because they reach users faster.
Evidently, messaging isn't just useful for political campaigns, but for marketing as well.
Thanks a lot, Obama.

Lee, Chin Yang. (1965). The Virgin Market. London: Alvin Redman Limited.
The Virgin Market, set in the fishing community of Aberdeen in 1960s Hong Kong, attempts to explore themes of morality, tradition and modernity. The story is primarily about a fisher family living aboard a junk and the problems arising from its patriarch, Lum Sin's, tradition-bound worldview. Lum is portrayed as a vain, boorish and unintelligent man who is unable to adapt to a rapidly modernizing society.
In a modernizing Hong Kong fishing community, the most iconic status symbol is the ownership of a mechanized junk. Lum aspires to be a mechanized junk owner but is too proud to become a member of the fisherman's cooperative in order to obtain a loan. He scorns the scientific approach to fishing promoted by the cooperative and wants to get an engine on his own.
Lum is unable to raise the money, and following a disastrous fishing season coupled with gambling losses, he decides to sell Pigtail, an orphaned Eurasian girl he and his wife have unofficially adopted. Pigtail is an extraordinarily beautiful seventeen year old who is loved by Lum's wife, his father, and his two biological children. Despite providing Pigtail a home, Lum has so far resisted legally adopting the girl. The lack of parents is problematic for the girl's future as no husband will consider a parentless bride. Pigtail finds herself in a tenuous position as she is an orphan in a society that discriminates against orphans, and is also a Eurasian or "half-breed" in a culture that is wary of miscegenation.
Lum Sin sells Pigtail to a dealer called Hop Fong in the "Virgin Market". The text is highly critical of this virgin trade which is seen as a morally degenerative practice within traditional Chinese culture in Hong Kong. The text observes that demand for virgins exists in the prostitution industry, and as companions to wealthy old men who believe sex with virgins is regenerative.
Pigtail, however, manages to escape Hop Fong and seeks protection with her lover, a young fisherman named Ah Woo. But Ah Woo, believing she has lost her virginity to Hop Fong, rejects Pigtail, and she is devastated. She attempts to commit suicide by jumping in front of a car but is rescued and taken to hospital by Dr Ferguson, a philanthropic American medic who runs a junk-based civic medical service for the fishing community. Ferguson and the discourse of western medicine are clearly presented as a progressive element of (western) modernity and his chance saving of the girl appears to be a part of a narrative of how such modernizing agents and discourses can be liberating for the marginalized in traditional communities.
The story has a further twist though because Pigtail is again held captive in the Virgin Market by Mrs Tang, a woman involved in the trade of young girls. However, Ah Woo, repenting his earlier actions, saves Pigtail from enslavement, and there is a suggestion that they become married. Because of Pigtail's escape and Lum Sin's refusal to pay back the money for the girl, Hop Fong and his men beat up Lum, and destroy and his newly purchased engine.. Towards the end of the narrative, a chastised Lum attempts to reconcile with Pigtail by offering to adopt her formally and accept Ah Woo as his son-in-law. But he is unable to find the couple. In Lum Sin's degeneration and the suggested union between Pigtail and Ah Woo, the text implicitly lays down the lines of progressive social change from a restricted traditionalism to a more accommodative future. The text by and large sees East and West within the familiar tradition-modernity dyad and is mostly orientalist in its depiction of "traditional" Chinese society. (HR)

A father who made his 10-year-old son run to school in the rain after the boy was barred from the bus because of bullying, made a video of the boy's trek and posted it on Facebook. Now he has become a pariah or a folk hero, depending on which comments you read.
The dad, Bryan Thornhill of Roanoke, Virginia, provided live commentary on the video, which has been seen by hundreds of thousands of people since he posted it on Facebook last Thursday. He explains that he didn't want to drive his kid to school – that would turn the punishment into a reward. So he thought that having the boy use his own legs made sense. For the record: Dad did not cause it to rain.
On the video we see Thornhill driving slowly behind his son, an athletic kid who does indeed seem capable of running the entire mile to school. The boy is wearing a backpack and dad watches him through swishing windshield wipers. "My son has finally gotten in trouble on the bus enough to where he got actually kicked off the bus for three days because he was being a little bully, which I do not tolerate," Thornhill says on the video.
He added: "This right here is just old-school, simple parenting. This ain't killing nobody. This is a healthy way for a child to be punished."
Ah, but is it? In these days of parentainment – the entertainment of judging other people's parenting – of course the world has weighed in on social media. Some praise the dad for being hands on, and not coddling. "This Dad is teaching his son what accountability looks like," read a typical comment on the Fox61 Facebook page. And another: "This is NOT harsh & I think the kid will remember this next time he goes to bully someone. Yay Dad." Others also liked that in a subsequent video, Thornhill runs with both his son and his daughter, age 8. (His son had a three-day bus suspension.)
But of course the nay-typers are out in force, too, calling the dad a bully himself – and doubly hating on him for posting the video, which they see as cruel and unusual punishment. "Punishing your child by publicly shaming them is just another form of bullying," said a commenter on The Washington Post site.
On his video, which Thornhill said he made and posted for fun, Thornhill also mentioned that unlike his guns, he can't keep his kids locked in a safe. This prompted other comments on the Post site like, "Dad's trying to make himself a folk hero on social media. And turn himself into a gun spokesman by.....connecting it with his kid's misbehavior? Yeah, I've got questions about dad."
But others there praised the dad for choosing exercise as a way of eliciting better behavior. Thornhill told the Post that his son has a diagnosis of ADHD and several commenters pointed out that when kids get more chance to run around and get their ya-yas out, often they behave better. I've seen that myself.
So was this boy bullied by his dad who made him run in the rain? To me it seems obvious that there's a big difference between bullying – being cruel and derogatory with the goal of hurting someone – and doing your best, as a parent, to help your kid do better. So I don't think the dad was bullying, at least as far as I (or anyone) can tell from a 2-minute clip. While it's doubtful I would do something like this, who cares? We're all different people.
But wasn't it bullying to post the video on Facebook? Again, I'd say no. Parents post everything on Facebook. Nitpicking their decisions is pointless. Let he who has never posted something they later regretted (or that someone else disliked) cast the first pixel. You don't have to believe you'd be Thornhill's best friend to give him the benefit of the doubt.
So let's give Thornhill the final say: "If you've got your panties in a wad over watching a kid jog, well I feel sorry for you. If a kid jogging offends you, then get … off the couch — you probably need a lap or two."
Not a slap. A lap.

In June 2002, the Israeli Cabinet decided to erect a physical barrier separating Israel and the West Bank with the declared objective of regulating the entry of Palestinians from the West Bank into Israel. This barrier is variously known as the 'Separation Fence/Wall' (Israeli), the 'Apartheid Wall' (Arabic), or internationally most frequently simply as the 'Wall'. Some sections, particularly in urban areas, this barrier comprises of a concrete wall six to eight meters high, whilst in others there is an electronic fence flanked by paved pathways, barbed-wire fences, and trenches.

This week, to attain, maintain or regain my sense of wellness …
I will take 15-30 minutes at night to practice sensory modulation as a way to relax and unwind before bed. Sensory modulation is a way of regulating how you feel through your senses by making pleasant changes to your surroundings. This means putting some quiet, soothing music on, dimming the lights or lighting candles, and sitting somewhere comfortable with a snug, heavy blanket across my knees. It means just spending some time focusing my mind on the safe, content sensations of the blanket on my lap, the couch beneath me, the fabric under my hands, the calm lighting and the soothing music.
I can return my mind to this state in memory whenever I need to.
Once I am familiar with using sensory modulation to relax on a regular basis, I will add it to my Personal Coping Kete as a way of shifting distressing moments.

Peanut butter granola
Delicious, nutritious and a firm Kiwi favourite – peanut butter, what would we do without you? Addictive when slathered across a piping hot piece of Vogel's and verging on sinful when paired with a good chunk of dark chocolate, there really are so many ways to enjoy this creamy spread. I particularly love this crunchy peanut butter granola, delicious with some tart Greek yoghurt.
To make this peanut butter granola gluten-free, you can swap the rolled oats for something like puffed quinoa or buckwheat. This granola will keep for weeks if stored in an airtight container in a cool dark place.
- When choosing your perfect peanut butter, look for a brand like Pic's, which contains high-oleic peanuts (they stay fresher for longer) and just a pinch of salt, if that's the way you like it.
- Good-quality peanut butter is high in healthy fats and energy and is beneficial for heart and digestive health. The high oleic content is also a great source of protein, fibre and vitamin E. Just 2 Tbsp each day of Pic's peanut butter will provide a woman with around 20 percent and a man with around 29 percent of their daily vitamin E needs, which helps to slow down the effects of ageing and inflammation by minimising free-radical damage within the body.
- rolled oats 2 cups
- thread coconut 1 cup
- sliced almonds ½ cup
- pumpkin seeds ½ cup
- sunflower seeds ¼ cup
- linseed ¼ cup
- sesame seeds 2 tablespoons
- smooth peanut butter ¼ cup
- cinnamon ½ teaspoon
- manuka honey, warmed to liquid ¼ cup
- greek yoghurt (omit if eating dairy free) and fresh fruit, to serve
- Preheat the oven to 160°C. Line a large roasting tray with baking paper.
- In a large bowl combine the oats, coconut, almonds and seeds and toss together.
- In a separate bowl whisk the peanut butter, cinnamon and honey, then spoon it over the oat mixture. Toss the peanut butter mixture evenly through the oats and seeds.
- Spread evenly over the tray and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the mixture starts to dry and toast.
- Serve with Greek yoghurt and fruit.

Murder on the Orient Express
It was supposed to be the perfect crime. But an avalanche stops the Orient Express in its tracks just before a passenger is found murdered in his berth, foiling the perpetrator's getaway, and trapping 13 potential suspects—each with an airtight alibi—in the train car with Inspector Hercule Poirot. If you've seen the movie, take note: Branagh changes Christie's ending. Hot tip: Dan Stevens's audio narration is fantastic.More info →
And Then There Were None
This is the world's best-selling mystery—and when I found out the audio version was read by Dan Stevens, I couldn't resist. (Loved it.) Ten strangers are lured to a deserted island, and then they begin dying, one by one, victims of a disturbingly wide range of murders. They share one thing in common: each has something in their past they would prefer to keep hidden. Who is the murderer, and will any of them survive?More info →
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd
Library Journal says "this novel, written in 1927, is considered the best and most successful of the early mysteries."More info →
The Body in the Library
"The best opening I ever wrote," according to Agatha Christie. From Time: "Professional detectives are no match for elderly spinsters... it is hard not to be impressed." The back cover says, "It's seven in the morning. The Bantrys wake to findthe body of a young woman in their library.She is wearing an evening dress and heavy makeup,which is now smeared across her cheeks. But whois she? How did she get there? And what is theconnection with another dead girl, whose charredremains are later discovered in an abandonedquarry? The respectable Bantrys invite Miss Marpleto solve the mystery . . . before tongues start to wag."More info →
Crooked House
Christie said writing this novel "was pure pleasure and I feel justified in my belief that it is one of my best." From the back cover: "The Leonides are one big happy family living in a sprawling, ramshackle mansion. That is until the head of the household, Aristide, is murdered with a fatal barbiturate injection. Suspicion naturally falls on the old man's young widow, fifty years his junior. But the murderer has reckoned without the tenacity of CharlesHayward, fiancé of the late millionaire's granddaughter."More info →
The Murder at the Vicarage: A Miss Marple Mystery (Miss Marple Mysteries Book 1)
From the publisher: "The murder of Colonel Protheroe -- shot through the head -- is a shock to everyone in St Mary Mead, though hardly an unpleasant one. Now even the vicar, who had declared that killing the detested Protheroe would be 'doing the world at large a favour,' is a suspect -- the Colonel has been dispatched in the clergyman's study, no less. But the picturesque English village of St Mary Mead is overpopulated with suspects. There is of course the faithless Mrs Protheroe; and there is of course her young lover -- an artist, to boot. Perhaps more surprising than the revelation of the murderer is the detective who will crack the case: 'a white-haired old lady with a gentle, appealing manner.' Miss Jane Marple has arrived on the scene, and crime literature's private men's club of great detectives will never be the same."More info →
The Mysterious Affair at Styles
Agatha Christie's debut novels introducing the world to Hercule Poirot and Tommy and Tuppence. The publisher says, "These two books changed detective fiction forever and revolutionized the mystery genre."More info →
Hercule Poirot's Christmas
From the publisher: "In Hercule Poirot's Christmas, the holidays are anything but merry when a family reunion is marred by murder—and the notoriously fastidious investigator is quickly on the case. Christmas Eve, and the Lee family's reunion is shattered by a deafening crash of furniture and a high-pitched wailing scream. When Hercule Poirot offers to assist, he finds an atmosphere not of mourning but of mutual suspicion. It seems everyone had their own reason to hate the old man." Add Audible narration for $12.99.More info →
The ABC Murders: A Hercule Poirot Mystery
Sunday Times of London says "there is no more cunning player of the murder game than Agatha Christie." The Evening Post called this one "her best."More info →
Absent in the Spring
This is a different sort of Agatha Christie novel, written under her pseudonym Mary Westmacott, that's complicated, witty, twisty and suspenseful in ways that have nothing to do with crime. The title comes from a Shakespeare sonnet; the novel itself is a character study, about a woman who begins to reassess her life after finding herself alone for the first time—and is none too easy with what she sees. Christie claimed to have written this novel in an incredible three days.More info →
Hallowe'en Party: A Hercule Poirot Mystery
From the publisher: "At a Hallowe'en party, Joyce - a hostile thirteen-year-old - boasts that she once witnessed a murder. When no one believes her, she storms off home. But within hours her body is found, still in the house, drowned in an apple-bobbing tub. That night, Hercule Poirot is called in to find the 'evil presence'. But first he must establish whether he is looking for a murderer or a double murderer."More info →
The Last Seance: Tales of the Supernatural
Tana French says that "reading a perfectly plotted Agatha Christie is like crunching into a perfect apple: that pure, crisp, absolute satisfaction." Christie's short stories are especially crisp, tightly plotted, and thoroughly mind-bending. This collection features mysteries with supernatural elements: ghosts, haunted houses, and ancient curses. Our favorite detectives, Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple, make appearances, and you can count on Christie to include a puzzle in each bite-sized suspense.More info →

Phew, I am kind of proud of myself for my self-control because I didn't just spend money recklessly this month. Yes, all these online shops just can't leave me alone and I sometimes curse myself for letting my guard down. Back then I used to be so lazy to shop because I had to get ready first and go to the mall, looking at people, crowds and many things I didn't want to see as an introverted person. Now, I can literally buy anything I want in a flash, straight from my phone. The lesson from this is that we know how powerful ecommerce in this day and age. As time goes by, the inventors are trying to make things easier for us – shopping included. That being said, 2019 is also the year of changes and new stuff. Yes, it's more like mobile commerce instead of just ecommerce. What's the difference, actually? On the surface, ecommerce and mobile commerce are virtually identical. The former means selling products over the internet via desktop or laptop computers. The latter means doing exactly the same – but through handheld devices like smartphones or tablets. Ecommerce may focus on a company's online store, while mobile commerce targets people who shop straight from their phone. Customers shop from brands and retailers through several channels on their phones, including social media, mobile commerce apps, mobile websites and many more. Why? It's simple; shopping through your phone is easier and you can do it anytime and anywhere. For that reason, big shopping brands like Sephora, Zalora, etc. have started using mobile apps to ease transactions.
If you are a new business owner looking to start mobile commerce business, I know it can be hard sometimes knowing the competition between mobile commerce has been vastly strong nowadays. As a person who provides content marketing services, I have been helping clients get over their fear of starting out because of the tight competition between them and their competitors. Yes, nowadays the rise of mobile commerce is inevitable and the competition is rising high as well. Don't worry; I'm going to guide you to the access to success through mobile commerce with this article. Keep reading to find out!
Before we start with the guide, let's talk about benefits of mobile commerce from user perspective first so you can grasp the essential knowledge of mobile commerce. Here they are:
- Easy transaction anytime and anywhere
- Additional discounts if ordered from the app
- New app member benefits
- Easier access to products
- Faster loading time
Now that you know the benefits from user perspective, let's move to the types of mobile commerce. Mobile commerce is not just limited to buying and selling goods through mobile-specific channels. There are other ways you can make use of mobile commerce application, such as:
- Mobile bookings: Now we don't have to go to the train station to get tickets anymore. We can just book straight from our phone. All types of bookings like plane tickets, hotels, trains, etc. are available through mobile commerce
- App-specific marketing and discounts: Perhaps Starbucks is the perfect example for this specific marketing strategy where LINE users can get a buy 1 get 1 promo by showing a specific message they get from Starbucks official LINE ID denoting a buy 1 get 1 promo to the cashier. Yes, this is something that can only be done through mobile commerce.
- Mobile banking: Going to the ATMs is tiring enough if you only need to send money, right? Mobile banking provides solutions to send money anytime and anywhere you go, unless you are in need of cash, though.
- Mobile payments: Why do you need cash when you can pay it straight from your phone? With a cashback, no less! People are basically cashless, right now.
So, how do we get started with mobile commerce?
Optimise your mobile commerce site or app
You may have different kinds of marketing strategies and plans, but if your business mobile app or site is not user friendly, no one will end up buying from you. According to research on Google, more than 60% of mobile users will quickly abandon a mobile site or uninstall an app if it's glitchy or hard to use. Your mobile commerce presence needs to designed and coded for different devices, platforms, and browsers to ensure that end users get a seamless experience.
Use responsive design
I remember the first time I accessed a website through my mobile phone, where there was no laptop and only PC at home while I was on my way to a mall. It was such a bad experience that I couldn't help going straight to home after that to access my PC so that I could buy something. Why was it such a bad experience? It was because the site was not adjusted to my mobile device size and it ended up 'freezing' the whole screen. It's a good thing that now we can access any site from any device because of the rise of responsive design in this day and age. Responsive design is a design approach to adjust a site size to the size of any device so that the site can be accessed by any device. If your mobile commerce company knows this approach, implement it immediately or your visitor will lose interest in your mobile app or mobile site.
Make it simple for the users
Sure, unique design may attract the eyes of your visitors, but as soon as they find it difficult to access your mobile app or mobile site, or your mobile app or mobile site is hard to understand, they will lose interest already and leave it. Therefore, make it unique but make it simple as well. Use clear and easy navigation so that users can understand where they go and what they should do.
That's how you understand mobile commerce. In the end, how successful a business is depends on how persistent we are. If you are afraid to take risks, then having a business is not for you, because starting a business needs courage and determination to succeed and that includes taking some risks. If you are ready to start mobile commerce, you can contact us now and let our team help you.

Mr Charles Lucas represented defendant.
Complainant, wife of William Henry Matthews, of 7 Wilfred Place, said there was a dispute as to the name of her ration and defendant threw her and her baby for yards and also screwed her nose.
In reply to Mr Lucas, complainant said there was "not much of a row" and Hibberd came to see what it was about.
She got a boot brush to defend herself, and afterwards fetched the tongs.
She intended to use both if she had been struck again, but Hibberd took them away.
Mr Lucas asked if it was necessary for him to go on with the defence, and the mayor said the charge would be dismissed.

Pair caught up in race riots
A young Chieveley couple, Mr and Mrs Richard Caan, of East View Cottage, have just returned from a fortnight's holiday in America where they experienced the riots in Washington following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King.
They went to Washington the day after Dr King was shot.
"There were riots and looting as we arrived" said Mr Caan. "We were held under curfew in our hotel from 5.30pm until about seven the next morning.
"Police cars were screaming and ambulance and fire engine sirens were going all night. We did not know whether or not the hotel was going to be set on fire.
"Next day we toured Washington and it resembled a ghost town. Nothing was open, there was nothing in the shops and the windows were broken.
"Many people who had come to Washington for the cherry blossom festival left when the festival was cancelled.
"Unwittingly we went into Seventh Street, which was a trouble spot.
"It was frightening: people and agitators were breaking shop windows, looting and fire bombing," he added.
They also visited Richmond where there was more trouble.
Mr and Mrs Caan had flown to New York at the beginning of their holiday and stayed for a while with a former Chieveley resident Mr Fred Palmer and his family at Easton in Maryland. Mr Palmer emigrated about eight years ago.
Mr Caan and his father run a builder's business in Chieveley.

Grandad goes missing
GRANDAD, a missing Carolina Corn Snake, has been found safe and well – after five days' freedom from a tank he normally inhabits at a house in Ashwood Drive, Newbury.
The five-foot long snake escaped on Tuesday last week and his owner, Mr Brian Pearsey, launched a frantic search for the missing reptile.
Just as he began to fear the snake might have escaped from his home, Grandad turned up – underneath the television.
Mr Pearsey said: "I found Grandad when I move the television and video stand for about the eight or ninth time.
"It had become a ritual to move everything anywhere he might be and, this time, he dropped out of a cavity inside the cabinet. I almost rolled the castors over him.
"He is happy now. He had gone a bit hungry during his escape and got a bit cold, but now he is better than ever."
The five-year-old snake lives on a diet of dead mice and Mr Pearsey was quick to check all three of his cats were safe each morning.
"Grandad would not attack a cat, but if one of the cats had a go, then Grandad would have stood a good chance of constricting the cat. But he just kept himself in the darkest place he could find."

The prince and the Chinook
A DISTRICT councillor has said that the controversy surrounding the landing of an RAF helicopter by Prince William in Bucklebury has been "blown out of all proportion".
It was revealed at the weekend that Prince William landed a Chinook helicopter on April 3 behind his girlfriend, Kate Middleton's, family home.
William has been criticised by military sources and aviation analysts over the cost of the flight – reportedly £15,000 an hour – at a time when British forces in action overseas have complained of a lack of kit.
West Berkshire councillor Graham Pask (Con, Bucklebury) said: "I think it's been blown out of all proportion.
"If it's operational training then so be it; it happened.
"Prince William did not appear to be endangering anyone locally, which would be my concern."
The MoD told the Newbury Weekly News that the trip had been planned and fully authorised as an agreed part of Prince William's attachment to the RAF.
They confirmed that the aircraft landed for 20 seconds, taking all necessary precautions and no-one left or boarded the helicopter.
A spokesman for the MoD, Nick Manning, said: "Battlefield helicopter crews routinely practice landing in fields and confined spaces away from their airfields as a vital part of their training for operations.
"This was very much a routine training sortie that achieved essential training objectives."
Newbury MP Richard Benyon said: "I think people should just calm down about this.
"Chinook helicopters and other military helicopters take off and land all over West Berkshire and nobody ever accuses these
individuals, unless they are damaging property or doing anything wrong."
Bucklebury Parish Council chairwoman Wynne Frankum said: "We do get the Chinook helicopters over here, but not often enough to cause a nuisance.
"It's only happened once. Should it be a very frequent occurrence I should imagine people would start to become concerned."
The Prince took off from RAF Odiham in Hampshire during a 100-mile, two-hour training exercise.
Miss Middleton and her parents reportedly watched the landing from their home.

Child Therapist
Camye Thibodaux, LPC, LAC, SAP
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Addiction Counselor
In 70301 - Nearby to Lutcher.
Children developmentally believe that they are the center of the universe; therefore, when things are good, it's to their credit. Conversely, when situations are less than favorable, it's their fault. In families with addictions, I often provide an educational program for the children called "An Elephant In The Living Room." The program teaches children that the addict is a good person with an illness that can be treated, just like other diseases. It also shows them that they didn't cause it and that they can't fix it. During the process of helping children, sometimes adults finally gain that insight for themselves.

We present our work-in-progress on handling temporal RDF graph data using the Ethereum distributed ledger. The motivation for this work are scenarios where multiple distributed consumers of streamed data may need or wish to verify that data has not been tampered with since it was generated – for example, if the data describes something which can be or has been sold, such as domestically-generated electricity. We describe a system in which temporal annotations, and information suitable to validate a given dataset, are stored on a distributed ledger, alongside the results of fixed SPARQL queries executed at the time of data storage. The model adopted implements a graph-based form of temporal RDF, in which time intervals are represented by named graphs corresponding to ledger entries. We conclude by discussing evaluation, what remains to be implemented, and future directions.

If picking up for a team, or for a friend, please show their photo ID, either the original or a photo (a picture of their ID on your phone will work), and turn in their signed wet-ink waiver.
Why do I need a wet-ink waiver?
We understand that turning in a wet-ink waiver can be cumbersome; however, our insurance provider requires it. If you do not provide a legible, wet-ink waiver, you will not be covered by our event insurance, and therefore will not receive your bib.

Hi all,
I am calling your help, mighty people who can understand advanced issues of hard drives. It is not an issue related to HDS, thus the reason why it is in General Dicussion.
A week ago, my Windows 7 would not start properly anymore. It was working fine the day before, then on the next morning, Windows wouldn't boot properly. At first, it loaded to the login screen and then got a blue screen. On second boot, it stucked on loading drivers ("Loading Windows" boot logo). On third boot, I got a Disk Boot Failure error from BIOS. On fourth boot, I was able to log into Windows, then everything freezes and I could hear my main hard drive spin down and spin up. No good...
I then loaded Parted Magic Boot CD, launched GSmartControl (which is a SMART monitoring software). GSmartControl was not able to complete either a Short or Extended Test. I was, however, able to read partitions into GParted. I took the time then to copy all my data to another hard drive, since I was able to read data properly. My data was safe, I was a much happier person !
I then loaded Data Lifeguard Diagnostic for DOS from Western Digital. I was not able to complete either Short or Extended either. Both tests would result in "Missing Tests Tracks" error. I googled that and found some people who had the same issue with the tool in DOS, but no workaround. I was able to test my other hard drives properly, but not this one.
The next day, I fired up Parted Magic again to prepare another hard drive to install Windows and decided to test my defective hard drive again...all SMART tests passed properly. I installed Windows on another hard drive, to diagnose my defective hard drive in Windows with much more tools. I installed HDS and HDS says that the disk is 100% healthy. Both Short and Extended Tests finish without any error and the surface scan shows every sector are healthy as well. Seek and speed tests are fine and what they should be. I am not running anything on this drive, yet. I don't trust it. Western Digital's Data Lifeguard Diagnostic for Windows shows the drive healthy as well.
Should I trust this drive ? Here's the SMART :
1,Raw Read Error Rate,51,200,200,OK,1,0,Enabled
3,Spin Up Time,21,144,135,OK,3766,0,Enabled
4,Start/Stop Count,0,100,100,OK (Always passing),99,0,Enabled
5,Reallocated Sectors Count,140,200,200,OK,0,0,Enabled
7,Seek Error Rate,0,100,253,OK (Always passing),0,0,Enabled
9,Power On Time Count,0,100,100,OK (Always passing),423,0,Enabled
10,Spin Retry Count,0,100,253,OK (Always passing),0,0,Enabled
11,Drive Calibration Retry Count,0,100,253,OK (Always passing),0,0,Enabled
12,Drive Power Cycle Count,0,100,100,OK (Always passing),96,0,Enabled
192,Power off Retract Cycle Count,0,200,200,OK (Always passing),43,0,Enabled
193,Load/Unload Cycle Count,0,200,200,OK (Always passing),55,0,Enabled
194,Disk Temperature,0,114,109,OK (Always passing),29,0,Enabled
196,Reallocation Event Count,0,200,200,OK (Always passing),0,0,Enabled
197,Current Pending Sector Count,0,200,200,OK (Always passing),0,0,Enabled
198,Off-Line Uncorrectable Sector Count,0,200,200,OK (Always passing),0,0,Enabled
199,Ultra ATA CRC Error Count,0,200,200,OK (Always passing),1,0,Enabled
200,Write Error Rate,0,200,200,OK (Always passing),0,0,Enabled
I notice that the Raw Read Error Rate and Ultra ATA CRC Error Count are both valued to 1. I never changed the SATA cable since few months and it was working fine before. It is the same cable as before and seems to be fine. Could it be related to the PSU ? It is about 7-8 years old, but have good values in BIOS (+-10%). It is a (very good) Seasonic
Thanks for any help,

About Dementia Friendly Grand Rapids
We are committed to creating aware and supportive 'Dementia Friends' throughout all sectors of our community so that people living with dementia can comfortably navigate daily life.
Dementia Friendly Grand Rapids got it's start as a group of professionals that were convened by a community member to address a problem – the problem that the public was not connected with the myriad of resources available to help a person with dementia and his/her caregivers. After meeting informally for several years, the group made a commitment in 2014 to making Grand Rapids the first dementia friendly community in Michigan, and is garnering the support and partnerships needed to make it happen.
In the spring of 2017 the Area Agency on Aging of Western Michigan (AAAWM) began providing the Dementia Friend sessions through a sub-licensing agreement with Dementia Friends USA. As the state entity we are beginning to spread Dementia Friends throughout Michigan. Four Area Agency on Aging regions have begun the process of bringing Dementia Friends to their communities. In addition, we are working to bring Dementia Friends to all of the communities served by AAAWM in Region 8 counties in Michigan.
Join us and become a Dementia Friend. Learn the basics about dementia and what you can do to make our community a safe, respectful, and engaging place to be for people with dementia.

Note from the President- This year at Hosta College I took a couple classes, taught a couple classes, and sold plants in the vending area for Soule's Garden. Then, after Hosta College closed we had a blast sitting and talking in the Hotel Conference Room. Anybody that has not gone to one of these after-college get-togethers is really missing out. You learn a lot, meet new friends, visit with your old acquaintances, eat and drink. Then you get to go to bed for a few hours and get back up to go back to Hosta College. We had a great time and hope to see you at Hosta College next year.
I have already turned in the order for this year's EMHS Annual Plant Sale, but if you missed out on ordering I will accept your order via an email to me at firstname.lastname@example.com or at the April 14th meeting. The plants will be delivered at the May 12th meeting. If you still need to pay for your order please make out a check to EMHS and give or send it to Barb Hunter, EMHS Treasurer.
Our speaker for the April 14th meeting is Julia Hofley. Julia is a freelance writer for gardening magazines, a speaker for gardening audiences, a member of multiple gardening societies, and a plant collector. For our meeting Julia will present Building a Collector's Garden.
We will have our usual potluck at the meeting. As always the club will provide the flatware, plates, and napkins.
Come prepared to have a great time, see a great presentation, and have some friendly conversation.
See you at the April 14th meeting,
Glen Pace
EMHS President

Next Meeting- April 14, 2016 at the Mayfield Twp. Hall, 1900 N. Saginaw, Lapeer, MI 48446. This is our regular meeting place located just south of the point of M-24 and N. Saginaw, (the driveway just north of the Cemetery).
The speaker will be Julia Hofley. Julia's presentation is Building a Collector's Garden. This is Julia's description of the presentation.
We didn't start out to be collectors but as we began to garden together, we found which plants actually won our hearts and square footage in the garden beds and borders. Take a look at our many collections of conifers, Lilium, Chrysanthemums, groundcovers, ferns, fragrant plants and more. Learn why we fell in love with these plants and how they create waves of color and interest throughout the seasons.
