PlayStation 5 has been rumored to be coming out in 2020 and we have been getting a couple of leaks during these past couple of weeks. The PS4 is coming to the end of its life cycle and it is just a matter of time before we get the next generation PlayStation 5, as well as the next Xbox. While there is nothing concrete that we have regarding the specifications of these upcoming consoles, we can speculate what you can expect to see from what developers need.
David Rodriguez, CEO of Catness Game Studios and Programmer of HIVE: Altenum Wars talked about the PlayStation 5 and he said that he expects the upcoming generation of products to be the same in terms of features but they will be more powerful. If that is indeed the case, then we could be looking at higher graphical fidelity as well as higher FPS.
Consoles have been limited to 30 FPS, for the most part. The PS4 Pro and Xbox One X offer some enhancements in games, with better quality visuals or higher FPS. Note that you do not get both, there is a tradeoff between the two. That is why the PC platform is above all and you can get 4K 60 FPS in almost any game provided that you have the hardware. According to Rodriguez:
"I'm not sure, actually. I don't expect big changes but more computational capacity to get more realistic graphics in very huge scenarios. I would love to see huge sandbox games with an accurate scale to the real cities and villages and the space between them,"
He further talked about it being a must for upcoming consoles to hit 4K 60 FPS in games. 4K displays used to be very expensive indeed, but that is changing. The prices are dropping and they are becoming affordable with each passing day. Keeping in mind that these upcoming consoles are still a few years away, 4K should enter into the mainstream by then. He further went on to say:
"I think this will be a must for the next-gen. We are trying to achieve that with our game on PS4 Pro. So if we can do that now, this will be an essential requirement for the bigger game studios on the next-gen."
Having that said, it will be very impressive to see consoles hitting 4K 60 FPS. That would bring them on par with PC if the graphics remain the same. For more information regarding the matter stay tuned to SegmentNext.
Let us know what you think about the upcoming PlayStation 5 and Xbox being powerful enough to support 4K 60 FPS and whether or not this is something that you are interested in.

During Autumn 2013 Rob and John refitted a bathroom at our home. This involved electrics, plumbing and general building work. As part of the service, Rob met us Leroy Merlin in Malaga to help choose the units and arranged to collect and deliver them to the house.
Throughout the build they were friendly, reliable, professional and thorough with a high quality of workmanship. The work was also quoted and completed on time at a fair price.
We are very happy with the result and are happy to recommend them to others.
Thank you. Kim and Nicky Whitworth

We had our home on the market with Spanish Management and after only 3 viewings the house was SOLD!! And we got the price we wanted. When selling a house it comes down to the owner being given a realistic valuation, and ensuring the agent you choose knows their stuff. My advice to anyone considering selling your home is that they must feel comfortable with their agent choice. My wife and I would have no hesitation in recommending Spanish Management to anyone in the future who is trying to decide between agents.

Open House Pick of the Week: Your Own Private Treehouse Overlooking Lanikai
Ward Warehouse architect Steve Au designed this custom Kailua home.
Photos: Hiep Nguyen/Coldwell Banker Pacific Properties
The exterior design of this week's open house pick is so unusual, that alone would qualify it as a must-see. It was built in 1977 and designed by Steve Au, who was also the architect for Ward Warehouse — which may explain its distinct style. No matter, the origin, it's a striking use of space in the way it perches a home on the hillside.
The four-story home has 1,223 square feet of living area and looks and feels like a treehouse. None of the three bedrooms have doors (although the two bathrooms do) and the kitchen is very open to continue the flow. Every room showcases unobstructed views of the Windward coast and almost directly faces the Mokulua Islands.
Even better, it's surrounded by more than 36,000 square feet of preservation land with about two dozen species of fruit trees including mango, 'ulu (breadfruit), longan, avocado, white fig, pomelo, tangerine and other tropical native plants ... which you can access from a bridge from the "garden room." This property even has its very own meandering trails.
This home will be open this Sunday, Oct. 19, from 2 to 5 p.m. Click here for details. Happy house hunting!
Money talk: $3.8 million

Medicare fraud: 'It all starts with the doctor'
This morning, I read this short article in the Houston Chronicle about a doctor on trial for allegedly filing $5.22 million in phony home health care claims by selling his signature over and over again.
"Dr. Ben Echols, a New York-educated gastroenterologist, is charged with accepting cash in exchange for helping Family Healthcare Services file fraudulent claims to Medicare, the nation's largest insurer for the elderly," the article reads.
(BTW, why does it matter that this doc was educated in New York? Is that supposed to carry some weight of some sort?)
Normally, I would have stopped reading at home health care claims. That's a bit outside our scope. We cover home medical equipment providers, not home health agencies. Theresa, Elizabeth and I have only so much time.
But for some reason (delaying the real start to my work day, perhaps), I kept reading. And I'm glad I did.
It turns out, during the trial, a federal prosecutor told jurors: "It all starts with the doctor, and the doctor has the final word."
Priceless, right?
See, Family Healthcare Services, whose owners have already pleaded guilty for trying to defraud Medicare of the $5.22 million in phony home health care claims plus $1.1 million in phony DME claims, is pointing its finger at the doc as the central player in the scheme. And the government's running with it.
Say what you will about the motivation of Family Healthcare Services (I typically don't like it when people blame others for their actions), but I'm not going to question it in this case.
Because let's face it, if there weren't a doctor willing to sign charts without seeing patients, where would Family Healthcare Services be? Well, worst-case scenario, it might be onto its next scheme, but at least it would be discouraged.
I'm not saying there aren't instances of Medicare fraud where DME providers deserve to be the sole focus of the government's burning attention. Remember that scheme where they were using the ID numbers of dead docs to file claims?
Many times, however, these schemes wouldn't be possible without the involvement of a doc. If you want to get paid for DME by Medicare, you need a prescription and other documentation from a doctor.
Yet, from what I can tell from my little office in Yarmouth, Maine, the government continues to focus its efforts on DME providers. If, in the process of prosecuting them, it can also prosecute the doc involved, that's an added bonus.
What I want to know: Why not nip this thing right in the bud and go right after the doc?
There are all sorts of answers to this question—the most frequently cited: that the docs have a big lobby that protects them from taking too much heat—but at least, here, we have a government official admitting in a public setting that fraud starts with the doctor.
It's a start.
Good story, however, the reason the Doctors are so protected as told to me by an OIG Attorney is because "the world needs Doctors but DME Companies are of a lesser value and importance in the delivery of health care. It is also much easier to replace the DME Company than the Doctor. The OIG Attorney referred to DME Companies as "a dime a dozen"!
This is part of the reason I had written the comment the DME Industry needs to become a Federal Licensed Provider. It would strenghten the position of the industry Providers in many ways.

Nobody Reads Ben Carson's, One Nation
Nobody Reads
There is a reason Ben Carson is second in the lead…in the last debate, he was so different from all the other candidates, for a minute I thought Yoda had been reincarnated. I can just see Ben Carson saying..
"Do, or not Do. There is no in-between."
How can you not like the guy after the fabulous entrance he made at the Prayer Breakfast in front of Obama? A black man, DARED to insult one of Obama's favorite legacies? Watch Obama's face in the video above,…clearly right from the start, Dr. Carson has sent a "OMG…this is NOT good." look on his face. Then he gets…mad…then around 2.28, he is looking down at something, probably his cellphone…someone is ranting to him about what just happened, because before that scene, no black person in the world had DARED to stand up to Obama.
It was priceless! I'm sure Ben wanted to run for the Presidency before this speech, because why else was he talking about taxes and Obamacare? Right. You don't get to be a neurosurgeon by being stupid.
In his book, One Nation, he goes into more detail about that famous moment:
"Many have commented that the president appeared to be uncomfortable during my speech, but I was not paying particular attention to him or his reactions, as my comments were really directed more at the American people than the people on the dais. At the conclusion of the program, the president approached me to shake my hand and thank me for my participation. He did not appear to be hostile or angry, but within a matter of minutes after the conclusion of the program, I received a call from some of the prayer breakfast organizers saying that the White House was upset and requesting that I call the president and apologize for offending him, I said that I did not think that he was offended and that I didn't think that such a call was warranted."
Obama wanted an apology? The KING wanted an apology? Did you hear about that little narcissistic nibble on the news? Ha!
I plan on reading the rest of the book, among the other candidates books in the future…just because I know, most people don't have the time, so I'll let you know the highlights when I can.
If there is one thing Ben Carson is: It's original. And what he says from here on in…is going to be great.

Casinos are Taking a Chance on Robots
The slow matriculation of robots into casino operations is starting to scare workers. Some fear their jobs may be in jeopardy. Casinos are starting to use robots for tasks normally reserved for humans, such as hospitality, security, and dealing cards.
Last month, more than 50,000 workers in Las Vegas threatened to strike. The move could have cost top casinos $10 million daily. Workers voted to push back against casinos who are relying on robots to carry out more tasks. The union came to an agreement that included a pay increase for the workers at one of the area's largest resort operators. The union is still working to reach agreements with other casino operators. One of the main points of contention is job security.
Higher-end hotels are using robots to deliver items, like toothpaste and towels to guests. In Temecula, Pechanga Resort Casino took it a step further last month by adding two robots to its security detail. According to a study, more than 36,000 positions could go to robotic workers by the year 2026.
An organization, called European Robotics Platform, is working to ensure Europe takes the lead on the use, production, and distribution of robotic products. The group helps new companies to meet hi-tech needs. Manufacturers company inforamtion about mr green continue to expand robotic applications. Robots help complete tasks associated with cleaning, security, science, defense, and rescue operations.
Bloomberg reports that a firm in Hong Kong introduced a robotic dealer that could revolutionise the casino industry. Paradise Entertainment's robot can deal much faster than humans. Eventually, the robot will speak different languages and recognise faces.
Technology is changing the landscape of casino gaming by introducing robots that can work faster than humans. There have been a few problems, including an incident involving one robot that tripped a toddler. Casino workers are hoping that robots will serve to aid, not replace humans.

Rocks - The Important Things in Life
3 comments:
- Chook said...
This is one of my favourite stories!
When I was studying engineering, my uni friends used to add another chapter to it saying the professor then poured beer in over the sand. They thought this showed them that no mater what else you put in your life, there was always time for beer!
On a more serious note, I got a pretty jar, a fine black marker and some polished rocks for a friend of mine who was having a hard time. We worked out what were the important things in her life and actually labelled those rocks and put them in the jar. She keeps it at home to remind her. I might do the same for myself one day.

Thanks so much for your story, what a great idea to label the rocks, I shall be coping your idea. It is so easy to get caught up rushing around and forget what is really important.
Smooth rocks are also so beautiful.
I love the students and the beer!

- Maggie said...
I was going to write a post today titled Get Real WORLD but I do not want this important post about the real things that matter in our lives to disappear so instead I shall just comment here. Remember the rocks are the important things in your life!
I really am quite sick of all the things we clutter our lives with Stuff, stuff, stuff. Close down your computer go for a walk and if you see anyone give them a great big smile.
Have a wonderful day where ever you are, slow down, relax and be kind to yourself and others.

Esports has gone from a private community of like-minded gamers who won modest prizes to a worldwide phenomenon that garners millions of dollars in prizes for the participants and organizations involved. All that money has not gone unnoticed by many in the traditional sports world, and many esports teams are now funded by owners and organizations with ties to professional sports, such as the NBA and some its players. Anybody looking to get involved in this business will want to know the answer to one crucial question: How can I know what makes a given gamer talented?
The answer is not simply as easy as jumping on a game streaming website like Twitch and seeing which players have the most views, although there is a certain amount of limited value to that approach. The data and analytics required to weed through legions of quality gamers to find the truly talented are more complex.
The starting point for any investigation of a potential star gamer should always be statistics. There are numerous sites dedicated to the most popular games that post almost every imaginable statistic for all who play them. While a simple win/loss ratio is an important stat, it is not the only one that needs to be analyzed.
Stats that focus on player accuracy are key for talent evaluation of the best players. Depending on the game, these may center around things like damage dealt to enemy players per minute, headshot percentage, creep score per minute, and so forth. All these stats highlight the player's ability to accurately pull of game-critical mechanics. While there are a number of players that play solely to achieve high accuracy stats with complete disregard to teammates, I think that accuracy stats are still the key starting point for any sports tech evaluation.
Once talented mechanics have been identified, things get a little more hazy. In simple one versus one fighting games, not much more needs to be learned. In team games, however, the ability of a talented player to interact with teammates is crucial, and this can be very difficult to judge by stats alone. There is a long history of players who are legitimate solo stars who do poorly once played on a professional team.
Data and analytics can struggle at using specific statistics to measure team integration and communication, so firsthand testing is almost always required. Many teams will call in potential players and have them scrimmage with members of the team to gauge how seamlessly the player would mesh with an existing lineup. Also, team coaches will want to interview the player and gain insight into his/her mindset concerning the approach the player takes toward the game in general. Common questions in these sorts of interviews are:
- How would you describe your individual play style?
- Knowing our team's current lineup, how do you think your skills would mesh with our team's strengths?
- How would you feel about playing a more supportive role on the team compared to the dominant role you may be used to?
- When things go wrong, how do you handle it?
A sports tech evaluator can gain tremendous insight into the potential star power of a possible team member based on the answers to these kinds of questions. Obvious red flags to watch out for are players who are combative with and derogatory towards their teammates, players whose communication skills are poorly developed, and players who can become unglued under pressure.
I also think a highly underrated aspect of talent evaluation concerns what a player does outside of gaming. It is simply not possible to perform at the highest level in the professional gaming world and have no outside life. Players need friends, hobbies, and interests outside the game to fall back on when things don't go their way during competitions.
So, I have a player that has amazing stats, is a team player, has a good attitude, and a balanced life outside of the game. Everything should go well, right? The answer in many sports is yes, but professional gaming is not like an average sport due to the ever-changing nature of the games themselves.
Games are continually updating, introducing new patches that affect gameplay sometimes several times a month. Compare this with something like baseball, where any changes are carefully considered and voted on during the off-season. To give an idea of what baseball would be like if it followed gaming changes, imagine bat weight, density, and length being changed every few weeks along with the size and hardness of the ball, mitt dimensions, and cleat lengths. It would be absolutely dizzying, yet that is what pro gamers must be able to contend with.
The ability to adapt in very little time to major changes in a game are what separates the very good players from the great. Some players can thrive under certain iterations of a game that reward players who are extremely aggressive but struggle heavily if a patch is introduced that punishes that play style. Adaptability is crucial for a player and team to survive in the ever-changing environment that is professional gaming.
Esports, though a very lucrative industry, is still very much in its nascent stages. As money and talent rise, the need for professional evaluation of players will be at a premium. The metrics discussed here will continue to evolve, and talent scouts will be a highly sought after commodity by team owners. Only time will tell how difficult it will be to accurately pinpoint the best players, but one thing is certain: The teams that hire the best players will win.

From the Journal
A concise guide to Nxai Pan, Botswana
If you like your African safari destinations quiet and undisturbed, Nxai Pan should be at the top of your list of must-visit spots in Botswana. Makgadikgadi Pan and Nxai Pan are the largest salt pans in the world, and offers spectacular scenery, abundant wildlife in season and natural isolation that appeals to travellers seeking out destinations where they can be truly removed from their day-to-day routines.
"Nxai Pan National Park is one of the more readily accessible reaches of the Makgadikgadi, situated 50km from the main road that leads from Maun to Nata."
Where exactly is Nxai Pan National Park?
Despite being gorgeously remote, Nxai Pan National Park is one of the more readily accessible reaches of the Makgadikgadi, situated 50km from the main road that leads from Maun to Nata. The pan itself is one of the most prominent Makgadikgadi salt flats, located towards the northern portion of the park, which lies adjacent to the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park and comprises approximately 2,578 km². The larger pans in the area have now been transformed into grassland, dotted with islands of acacia trees. During the rainy season, certain smaller pans fill with water, drawing wildlife from far and wide.
The wildlife of Nxai Pan
Wildlife viewing around the pans is seasonal. As soon as the rainy season starts, large groups of wildebeest, elephant, gemsbok and giraffe venture into the area. Next follow the zebra herds that come here specifically to calve – a spectacle that is only rivalled by the park's vast springbok herds. Hot on the heels of this glut of stunning herbivores follow the predators. Think lion, cheetah, jackal - even the slippery brown hyena and enigmatic leopard. Bat-eared foxes and raptors are also in plentiful supply, and if you strike it lucky you might just encounter a rhino or two.
"Think lion, cheetah, jackal - even the slippery brown hyena and enigmatic leopard."
Things to do in Nxai Pan National Park
If you like your game viewing with a dash of the unusual, Nxai Pan will not disappoint. Saddle up for an epic horse riding safari across the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, lace up your hiking boots and adventure through the semi-arid thirst land of the Kalahari on guided nature walks, or venture out on historical tours to the famous Baines Baobabs – a verdant cluster of trees that stand tall as an oasis of life in the middle of the white salt pan in the dry season. Alternatively, travel at your own pace on a quad bike safari across the pans.

When to go + where to stay in Nxai Pan National Park
The park is open to visitors 12 months a year, but conditions are not exactly ideal during the rainy season - roads become impassable in certain areas. The more accessible option is visiting during the dry season from May to September, which is also when the park's wildlife crowds around its watering holes, which makes it a little easier to find large groupings of animals in one go. However, if you don't mind getting a little wet or spending some more time navigating slippery roads, mid-November to March is absolutely gorgeous - the park bursts into greenery as soon as the first rains start to fall, and it makes for an awe-inspiring experience.
Since the park opened its gates to visitors in 1992, only a single permanent camp has been established within its reaches. Nxai Pan Camp has been in operation since 2009 and is located on the western shores of the fossil pan, from where it overlooks the undulating grasslands. It accommodates a maximum of 18 visitors in thatched units that are naturally insulated against the region's extreme temperatures and offers exceptional game viewing right from camp.

When the manufacturer of some of our favorite technical clothing items started making approach shoes, we knew we had to try them out. The Arc'teryx Konseal FL is a unique product: it's light, snug, and stiff as a board. It certainly looks different than your average approach shoe, and after weeks of testing, our testing team wasn't exactly sure what the perfect use for it is. We found it to have excellent climbing ability due to its rigid structure, precise edge, and thin toe. It's also much lighter than the average shoe we tested, though there are a few that are lighter. And while it doesn't have any cozy padding that would make it our go-to choice for long approaches, it does provide some lateral support. Ultimately, the Konseal FL failed to earn an award because its stiff construction, while excellent for technical climbing, was just not as well suited for long hikes as the similarly light La Sportiva TX2 - Women's.
Arc'teryx Konseal FL - Women's Review
Compare prices at 3 resellers Pros: Lightweight, good technical climbing ability
Cons: Too stiff for hiking, expensive
Manufacturer: Arc'teryx
Our Verdict
Compare to Similar Products
Our Analysis and Test Results
The Konseal FL from Arc'teryx is a lightweight, stiff shoe that's great for climbing but not well suited for long approaches.
Performance Comparison
Climbing Ability
One of the main things that separate an approach shoe from a hiking shoe is its aptitude in technical terrain. Complete with durable rubber soles, a good approach shoe can handle third, fourth, and even fifth-class terrain. To test each of the products in this review, we judged their abilities to edge, smear, and crack climb.
The Konseal is one of the best climbing-oriented shoes in this review. While all of the products we tested have sticky rubber, the Konseal is stiff enough to allow precise and secure edging. We can smear without feeling like we'll slip, and the toe is narrow enough to fit easily into cracks. For long solo missions or backcountry scrambles, the Konseal made an excellent choice.
We found the La Sportiva TX2 to perform just about as well as the Konseal in technical terrain; the Scarpa Gecko, La Sportiva TX4, and Vasque Grand Traverse all followed closely behind. While the toe of the Evolv Cruzer Psyche was also thin enough for crack climbing, its flimsy structure made it less secure on small edges.
Because "comfort" and "support" are closely related metrics, we used this category predominantly to describe the upper part of the shoe. Here, we evaluated each shoe's tongue, breathability, lacing, and fit.
The Konseal, we're sad to say, is not that comfortable. The tongue is thin and considerably less cushy than some of its competitors, such as the La Sportiva Boulder X. We also found the material to be less breathable than some of the mesh products we tested. Most importantly, the Konseal is incredibly stiff. It took a long time to break these shoes in, and even then, the tops of the shoes would struggle to bend and move with us, putting uncomfortable pressure on the tops of our feet. Despite the fleece lining, our feet were killing us after hiking down a steep descent gully because the shoes would just not move.
The TX2, to compare, has a very flexible upper with a stiff sole which we found to make for the perfect combination of climbing security and hiking comfort.
Because approach shoes are, as the name implies, designed for the approach, they need to be able to hike comfortably no matter the distance. The "support" metric evaluates each shoe's ability to keep our feet happy for the long haul by focusing mostly on the bottom and sides of each shoe.
The Konseal has a few things going for it in this category, but overall it falls short of its competitors. The sole is incredibly stiff, and while this makes for precise edging on technical terrain, it doesn't bend with our foot, making it uncomfortable for long hikes. We aren't looking for the most flexible shoe, like the Evolv Cruzer Psyche, that provides no support at all; instead, our favorite shoes were stiff enough to keep us secure on rocky terrain but flexible enough to keep our feet happy mile after mile.
One of the reasons we loved the La Sportiva TX4 so much was that the sole is just stiff enough to keep us feeling secure on talus while also being flexible enough not to tire out our feet. We found this blend with the TX2 and Vasque Grand Traverse as well.
Weight is a complicated category and not one that applies directly to every approach shoe wearer. Lighter shoes are generally less supportive and comfortable because they lack cushy materials and burly soles. So depending on what type of climbing adventures you partake in most, the weight of a shoe could be of more or less important to you.
At 9.9 ounces per shoe, the Konseal SL is one of the lightest products that we tested. The lightweight design makes this an excellent product for carrying on multi-pitch routes since the pair will be much less noticeable in your pack or clipped to your harness; sturdy rear clip-in loops support this claim. The shoes are narrow as well, making it much easier to stuff them into a pack than bulkier models like the Boulder X.
There are two models lighter than the Konseal that we tested for this review: the Cruzer at 6.8 ounces per shoe and the TX2 at 8.4 ounces per shoe. This difference puts the Konseal in a tough position. If you're looking to shave the most weight possible for short, simple walk-offs, the Cruzer is a lighter option. On the other hand, if the walk-off is long, the TX2 is considerably more comfortable.
Rock climbing is a tough business, making durability an important factor in an approach shoe's success. We evaluated the upper material, sole construction, and toe design of each shoe to come up with its overall score for burliness.
The Konseal has a surprising amount of durability for its lightweight design. The upper features thick, abrasion-resistant material, and the toe cap covers the toes completely for a longer-lasting construction. There is some lateral support that will provide some protection from abrasion, as well. While the most durable products we tested had leather uppers, the Konseal's upper is still more durable than some of the mesh products in this review.
Best Applications
Despite this shoe's high scores in a few categories, we have a hard time defining exactly when we would choose it over some of its competitors. It's lightweight, but the Cruzer and TX2 are lighter. It climbs well, but the TX2 is comparable while also being more comfortable. We can't think of a time we wouldn't pick the TX2 instead since it has similar scores in two categories and better scores in others.
At $155, the Konseal FL isn't solidly more expensive than many of its competitors. Our Editors' Choice Award winner, the TX2, is $130 and is both lighter and more supportive. The Cruzer Psyche is significantly lighter and less expensive at just $78. Overall, this shoe is just too expensive to warrant its average performance.
The Arc'teryx Konseal FL is not our favorite approach shoe, but it's certainly not the worst. It has a superb technical climbing ability and a very low weight, but our testing team agreed that the average climber needs a shoe with more focus on hiking. Lacking in comfort and support, the Konseal fell behind in the competition.

Work-At-Home Success: How Michael Quinn Turned a Blog Into A Successful Job
This post may include affiliate links or compensated content. Click here for our disclosure policy
Michael Quinn owns and manages two insurance blogs with his wife, Joann. He graduated from the University of Central Florida with his Master's in 1999 with a degree in Communicative Disorders.
1) How did you get started working from home?
I simply started an insurance blog and began writing content that I thought would help consumers. Once I understood the potential and how it can grow into a business I knew that's where I wanted to focus and how my business would grow.
2) How did you choose the work-at-home career you do?
I was getting burned out with my first business. My brother-in-law is an insurance agent and one day we had a long conversation about all the possibilities that it provided. I didn't want to do traditional door to door sales, because that was similar in structure to what I was already doing with my first business. I went online and found that agents could sell right from home by setting up a website and providing help in the form of a blog. I saw all the possibilities and knew that's how I wanted to build my business. Soon after, I secured my health and life insurance license and started building my business online.
3) How did you get started (basic initial steps)?
Once I was licensed I had to get several things in order. I had to get contracted with insurance companies and brokerages that were supportive of online and phone sales. I had to get licensed in multiple states in order to sell nationally. I had to create my websites and used WordPress as my website's foundation. Once I created my first website, I had to learn how to optimize it and how to implement proper SEO.
4) How did you get your first client or customer or job?
I got my first client from my website in 2014. It was such an incredible milestone! Generating your first lead and client online is incredible. It's very satisfying creating content on my blog that consumers are finding useful. It builds trust and familiarity with my clients that is so different from cold calling or door knocking.
5) How do you market your business?
The majority of our business is marketed by organic search results in Google, Bing and Youtube. For paid advertising, we have had success with Facebook Ads.
6) What does your usual day look like?
I don't have a set schedule, but I have weekly goals that I address. If I receive a lead from my website, I drop everything that I'm doing and reach out to them. My week is summarized by the following in no particular order: Content creation (blog posts, videos, infographics), answering questions via email and phone, researching the best companies based on my client's information, field underwriting, submitting applications, follow up, and website maintenance.
7) What do you know now that you wish you knew when you started?
For one of our blogs, Youtube is doing great. So in hindsight, I wish we focused on Youtube immediately..
8) What advice would you give someone who wants to work from home?
It's so cliche, but find something you enjoy and it won't feel like work. Insurance sounds like the most boring job on earth, but I love it! My business allows me to do so much. I'm able to be creative by designing websites and creating content. I'm able to help people solve problems and save money. I get to educate and answer questions. I'm able to work from home or anywhere because my business is online 24 hours a day. As a family, we can travel or move anywhere and not skip a beat with our business.

rodsantos replied to dre21's topic in GENERAL DISCUSSIONEyes off and hands off jlewis, dark siders. He's cool.
Actual context: I was outside town on an Opel hunt, saw this guy drifting across with the engine cut, and marked him for a 25mm French AA gun who had a clear shot. The AA gun lit the Opel up, and he exploded at the very same moment my Wi-Fi bugged. The Opel went flying vertically as my game lagged out, and in the moments before it reconnected, I snapped off a few quick screenshots. Obviously, I edited the image to make it look older and more worn. Originally posted on our Reddit, r/battlegroundeurope.

rodsantos posted a topic in GENERAL DISCUSSIONI'd say that the majority of "trades" happen at close quarters with two enemies pumping each other with automatic weapons. But it also happens sometimes that two riflemen spot each other at 50-100m and pull the trigger at the same time. But have any of you seen trades happen at longer distances, like 200m+? Like two snipers blowing each other's heads off at 400m. Infantry experiences only, though. I don't think it's too uncommon to see tanks inflicting mortal damage on each other at 600m or two planes shooting out cockpits at a similar range.
rodsantos replied to Augetout's topic in GENERAL DISCUSSIONYeah! Get in guys!
rodsantos replied to rodsantos's topic in GAME IDEAS / SUGGESTIONSI was up against a Bofors in a Hurricane 2c, put somewhere between thirty and fifty rounds on target, but missed the gunner.
rodsantos posted a topic in GAME IDEAS / SUGGESTIONSI think it is totally unrealistic that a cannon-armed Hurricane firing exploding 20mm shells can knock out trucks and light armored vehicles but get killed by an AA gun which you landed fifty hits on but just barely missed the gunner. That AA weapon should be a twisted, totally unusable wreck even if the crew wasn't hit. Guns should have a damage model like all other vehicles. You should be able to kill an AAA or ATG piece like a truck or a tank.

Starting and finishing emails
Here are some important points to consider when starting and finishing an email.
Formal or informal?
We write a formal email when we want to be polite, or when we do not know the reader very well. A lot of work emails are formal. We write informal emails when we want to be friendly, or when we know the reader well. A lot of social emails are informal. Here are some examples of formal and informal messages:
|An email to a customer
A job application
An email to your manager
A complaint to a shop
An email from one company to another company
A birthday greeting to a colleague
Before you start writing an email, decide if you want to write a formal email or an informal one.
Layout and punctuation
Starting an email: We normally write a comma after the opening phrase. We start a new line after the name of the person we're writing to.
Finishing an email: We normally write a comma after the closing phrase. We start a new line to write our name at the end.
Dear Mr Piper,
Hi Tim,
Phrases for starting and finishing
Here are some phrases which we use for starting and finishing emails. We use these in formal and informal emails:
|Starting phrases
|Dear Tim,
Good morning Tim,
|Ending phrases
With best wishes,
With many thanks and best wishes,
You also need to know which phrases to use only in a formal email or an informal one:
|Starting phrases
|Dear Mr Piper,
Dear Sir or Madam,
|Hi Tim,
Hi there Tim,
Morning/Afternoon/Evening Tim,
Hello again Tim,
|Ending phrases
|Yours sincerely,
Yours faithfully,
Yours truly,
Bye for now,
See you soon,
Language level

Asaph replied on United States of America
I find I am thrown off by what should be correct punctuation. Perhaps this is dealt with. I haven't discovered it. Also, I wonder if there is a section that helps above the intermediate levels. And this is confusing to know when using 'I or me', 'who or whom' and that type of problem.
Peter M replied on Poland
Hello Asaph,
Punctuation can be confusing, can't it? We don't have pages devoted to this topic, but we make sure our texts are appropriately punctuated, so you can see good examples as you read and if you have any questions about the punctuation then you can always ask quoting the appropriate section.

Amanda Cross replied on United States of America
I can say that it is more common to start an email with "dear" and after you get a response move to a simpler "hi" greeting. Also, when you write an email some information/ numbers/ refer to polls then you should also try to cite where you took it from ( https://-----------------) since it is a good practice if you are headed towards academia.
Kirk replied on Spain
Hello Amanda
These are very useful ideas -- thanks for sharing them here!

lilimoon replied on Ecuador
I really enjoy the samples and exercises!
jmajo replied on Uruguay
Hi there,
I would like to know if the ending phrase: "Kind Regards," it is formal or informal.
Kirk replied on Spain
Hello jmajo
'Kind regards' (notice the second word is not capitalised) is neutral in register, that is, neither formal nor informal. In many business contexts in the UK, it would be an acceptable way to end an email, unless the situation called for a very formal style.
It would sound strange if you used it with friends or family, but would be appropriate to use when writing to someone you don't know or don't know well.
All the best

So again it could be more to do with the quality and speed of the read/write of the SD cards vs the satiator itself?
So again it could be more to do with the quality and speed of the read/write of the SD cards vs the satiator itself?
Satiator does not need or use subcodes but as a consequence things like seeking in the cd player do not work. There are also some a handful of games using multiple track indexes which are not handled yet. And CD+G discs probably also do not work.
I'm watching ReEnthused (Twitch) https://www.twitch.tv/reenthused and he's testing a new fix for FMV. Seems the FMV skipping is fixed though sound effects are a bit laggy (probably due to his capture card).
Last edited by Greg2600; 01-17-2020 at 03:52 PM.
hope this could be mass produced soon.
I'm also looking for these features:
-ability to change console region discs, just like a normal EU/US/JP adapter, but via Satiator
-support for cheat codes and homebrew
-save cart funcions
Anybody mentioned these features?
A Black Falcon: no, computer games and video games are NOT the same thing. Video games are on consoles, computer games are on PC. The two kinds of games are different, and have significantly different design styles, distribution methods, and game genre selections. Computer gaming and console (video) gaming are NOT the same thing."
Granted that feature update is a year old, I don't think he's changed much since then.
--Definitely bypasses region locking.
--Does not interefere with the cart slot, so saves, RAM, and AR will function as is. He wasn't sure at the time how AR boot sequence affects it. Though it doesn't interact with the internal save mechanism, no reason something can't be written to do so.
--Supporting ISO and BIN/CUE formats, including multi-disc games (swapping).
--Does not support Video CD emulation, nor will it.
--Load times will mirror the OEM CD Drive.
--WAV support has to be added, MP3 will not be supported.
I believe it was mentioned that it'll let all region original discs work as well, but I'm too busy to test it now...
*I'm pretty sure that Satiator only comes online if you're disc drive is empty; therefore, it will likely not act like an Action Replay and allow other region discs to play.
From the ReEnthused Channel
We take another look at the Satiator after updating to the newest firmware.
Firmware 73:
Fixes FMV stuttering
Speeds up menu loading when there are lots of files
Adds page switching with shoulder buttons
First attempts at implementing audio indexing
