Brand Your Business Correctly as First Impressions Count
When someone has a great idea for a business, they often fall over themselves in excitement and anticipation. They can't wait to get to market, unfold their vision and ride the high waves to financial freedom. Whilst enthusiasm and vision are important, you need to sit down alone for a little while and work out some of the basics. Before you even start telling anybody about your idea or what you may have to sell or promote, you must first figure out your branding.
When you create a brand, you set yourself apart from the competition. This differentiation allows you to create a potential bond between yourself and your target audience, convert your prospects into clients and then retain them. Branding has many elements to it, and you must ensure that you pay attention to each one.
Before you start, you'll need to work out what your overall message is. People out there will perceive you and your organization according to your message; first impressions are crucial and you have to make a great one.
One of the initial things to do when you're setting up a brand is to choose a company name. Many people incorporate the company name with their website domain name and make them one and the same. Note, that while your legal corporate name may be one thing, your "doing business as" name, whatever it may be, should receive your full branding attention, and be fully reflective of your business goals.
If you're very clever with your trading name, you can much more easily go on to achieve great heights. You'll realise you've attained the summit of success when your corporate name also becomes a well-known verb, like "Hoover", "Google", or "Xerox".
Along with the selection of your company name, you must make sure that your domain name is perfectly relevant. Realistically, no enterprise can survive without a website nowadays, and your website will probably be the first point of contact when it comes to client marketing. Creativity is the key, but you must make sure that - technically speaking, your domain name will make sense in the world of search engine optimization and have a high level of viewability. Your domain name should ideally incorporate your primary keyword or keywords, which relate exactly to whatever you are promoting or selling. So, in an ideal world, the keywords relating to your "hot potato" new marketing idea should appear prominently within your domain name and within your company name.
Keyword selection is quite a complex subject which we have already touched on in (R - Right Keywords) but, as we have seen, is important within your branding set up. Keywords should appear within your mission statement and in all marketing materials. It's vital that they accurately illustrate what your potential client is seeking from you.
Visual image is everything. Once you have a great company name, domain name and the keywords selected, you can move on to create visuals. Your logo should essentially sum up what you're trying to achieve. The logo doesn't necessarily have to incorporate your company name or your domain name or your keywords, but it should be a great visual representation of all of these and project the very reason for your company's existence. The logo is one of the first things that a potential client will see, so take as much time as you need in this area, as it's likely to leave the biggest impression.
Once you've established your logo, you should create all your marketing materials according to a particular style and presentation. Maintain this throughout your organisation and don't dilute your message by going off point.
Your website is your window to the world. A correctly composed website speaks volumes about your business. Don't forget that in business it's all about perception, and if you don't maintain a storefront of any kind in the real world, people will judge your business by looking at your website. You should always maintain a high degree of professionalism and clearly display this throughout your site. It doesn't matter if you're a one-man band; you should still give people the impression that you're a highly successful, well-organized and thoroughly established enterprise.
Pay careful attention to branding and maintain your position throughout your business cycle.

Today I will be writing about Hashtags and how they function across all social media platforms. I will also discuss social interaction and how you can use this to push your small business online. For those who have no idea what a "Hashtag" is, here it is – # . A hashtag is a short link preceded by the (#) sign which helps to make your social experience easier. Hashtags function the same way a link functions; once you click on a hashtag on social media, you will find other tweets/posts that share the same interests faster. On Twitter, hashtags make it easy to track discussions about a particular type of interest, and so it is a very important tool for your small business.
On Facebook, Hashtags turn topics and phrases into clickable links in your posts on your personal Timeline or Page. This helps people find posts about topics they're interested in. To make a hashtag, write # (the number sign) along with a topic or phrase and add it to your post. For example:
- I just saw the cutest puppy! #
When you click a hashtag, you'll see a feed of posts that include that hashtag. You may also see some related hashtags at the top of the page.
To get the most of your hashtags on any social network, you must have the following in mind:
A hashtag must be written as a single word, without any spaces
You can include numbers in a hashtag, but punctuation and special characters (like $ and %) do not work
You can search for a hashtag using the search bar at the top of any page
You'll only see posts that were shared with you
Now, you can decide to create your own hashtag peculiar to your business interests. For instance, I tend to use #SocialMediaMarketing a lot on most of my posts on Facebook and Twitter, because this helps people who are interested in Social Media Marketing to see my posts easier. You can also use Hashtags to promote a special event your business might be hosting. So let's say you are having a weekend of sales at say "XYZ Boutique", you could have all tweets about your event go up with the tag #XYZSalesWeekend or something like that. It helps people who are interested in the services you offer locate you faster.
On Twitter, certain hashtags tend to trend when there are many tweets about the topic. these trending hashtags can be seen by users who are interested in knowing what other users are talking about the most. You can use this feature to your advantage. Interact with social media influencers who have lots of followers. Convince them to post a series of tweets using your hashtag, in doing so, their followers will catch on, and if your content is attractive enough, people will get talking about your products in no time. The important factor still remains; you have to be creative online. You can also host question and answer sessions on Twitter to make your brand more relatable. These sessions should be hosted by social influencers who have lots of followers and who can help you get the conversation going.
If you have any question about hashtags or social media interaction, please send me a mail on email@example.com . As always, please feel free to drop your comments.

Wiley #top20articles award for one of the most influential articles in recent history to Shelton & Alberts, 2018
Shelton gives an invited talk at Hokkaido University and visits the lab of professor Hitoshi Araki in Sapporo, Japan. I had a fantastic visit with the Araki lab. I received thoughtful feedback on my research, especially from an ecological perspective. It's wonderful to interact with talented scientists.
We passed the two-round application interview process for NSF I-Corp. It was an intense learning experience as we were a multidisciplinary team (business leader, computer scientist, and biologist) coped with learning to speak a new and common language as we embarked into start-up world. The toughness of the collaboration was compounded because we were operating in 3 different time zones, and at times in 3 different countries! We succeeded, as NSF I-Corp Invited us (team Visioglow) to submit a full proposal.
Tanguay lab presents at PANWAT! I attended my first Toxicology meeting. It gave me new perspectives on my work. Interacting with this community of researchers was exciting. PANWAT provided in-house professional development and diversity training. I also sneaked in time to conduct customer discovery interviews for Visioglow.
Congrats Society of Toxicology intern, Fahren Nipple on a fantastic final presentation. We enjoyed you! Represent at Albany State, HBCU.

Parking can be a pain, no matter the vehicle you're driving, and we all wish we had a few more hands to assist in safe and efficient parking. BMW gives you that helping hand with their BMW Parking Assistant technology, making parallel parking as easy as pushing a button. This system will not only find a space for you, but park it as well. Don't fret over finding the perfect space again, because with the BMW Parking Assistant you'll park better than ever. Explore this groundbreaking technology with us at Edmonton BMW!
What BMW Parking Assistant Does for You
Like other similar technologies with CoPilot and Driver Assistant, the Parking Assistant aims to make your BMW drive safer and more convenient. BMW Parking Assistant works for you even before the actual parking begins. Not sure if you can fit in a space? It's no problem with this parking system, as at speeds of 35 km/h or under, it will gauge the size of spaces on both sides of the road and help pick out the best one for your vehicle. After you've found it, it really is as easy as pressing a button. The BMW Parking Assistant takes control of steering, braking and acceleration, so all you have to do is sit back and let your BMW do all the hard work. It only takes a few short steps to go from driving to safely parked, with your vehicle taking the lead.
BMW Parking Assistant Steps
It's simple to use the BMW Parking Assistant, and only takes a few steps until you're safely situated in your parking spot. When you're ready to park, press the Parking Assistant button on the centre console. The system will scan both sides of the road for a suitable spot. Once you've found your desired spot, stop beside the space and then put your turn signal on toward the spot. Push and hold the Parking Assistant button, then take your hands off the wheel and foot off the brake, the vehicle will then park itself. Always be on the lookout for traffic, people or other impediments, making sure to maintain pressing the button. If you need to stop suddenly, or the parking process is over, remove your finger from the Parking Assistant button and the vehicle will put it in park. It really is that straightforward, and all thanks to the Parking Assistant system on your BMW!

Ptolemee invades the kingdom of Alexander: the latter is slain: and the former dies soon after. Demetrius honours Jonathan, and is rescued by the Jews from his own subjects in Antioch. Antiochus the younger favours Jonathan. His exploits in divers places.
[1] And the king of Egypt gathered together an army, like the sand that lieth upon the sea shore, and many ships: and he sought to get the kingdom of Alexander by deceit, and join it to his own kingdom.
Et rex Aegypti congregavit exercitum, sicut arena quae est circa oram maris, et naves multas : et quaerebat obtinere regnum Alexandri dolo, et addere illud regno suo.
[2] And he went out into Syria with peaceable words, and they opened to him the cities, and met him: for king Alexander had ordered them to go forth to meet him, because he was his father in law.
Et exiit in Syriam verbis pacificis, et aperiebant ei civitates, et occurrebant ei : quia mandaverat Alexander rex exire ei obviam, eo quod socer suus esset.
[3] Now when Ptolemee entered into the cities, he put garrisons of soldiers in every city.
Cum autem introiret civitatem Ptolemaeus, ponebat custodias militum in singulis civitatibus.
[4] And when he came near to Azotus, they shewed him the temple of Dagon that was burnt with fire, and Azotus, and the suburbs thereof that were destroyed, and the bodies that were cast abroad, and the graves of them that were slain in the battle, which they had made near the way.
Et ut appropiavit Azoto, ostenderunt ei templum Dagon succensum igni, et Azotum, et cetera ejus demolita, et corpora projecta, et eorum, qui caesi erant in bello, tumulos quos fecerant secus viam.
[5] And they told the king that Jonathan had done these things, to make him odious: but the king held his peace.
Et narraverunt regi quia haec fecit Jonathas, ut invidiam facerent ei : et tacuit rex.
[6] And Jonathan came to meet the king at Joppe with glory, and they saluted one another, and they lodged there.
Et occurrit Jonathas regi in Joppen cum gloria, et invicem se salutaverunt, et dormierunt illic.
[7] And Jonathan went with the king as far as the river, called Eleutherus: and he returned into Jerusalem.
Et abiit Jonathas cum rege usque ad fluvium qui vocatur Eleutherus : et reversus est in Jerusalem.
[8] And king Ptolemee got the dominion of the cities by the sea side, even to Seleucia, and he devised evil designs against Alexander.
Rex autem Ptolemaeus obtinuit dominium civitatum usque Seleuciam maritimam, et cogitabat in Alexandrum consilia mala.
[9] And he sent ambassadors to Demetrius, saying: Come, let us make a league between us, and I will give thee my daughter whom Alexander hath, and thou shalt reign in the kingdom of thy father.
Et misit legatos ad Demetrium, dicens : Veni, componamus inter nos pactum, et dabo tibi filiam meam, quam habet Alexander, et regnabis in regno patris tui :
[10] For I repent that I have given him my daughter: for he hath sought to kill me.
poenitet enim me quod dederim illi filiam meam : quaesivit enim me occidere.
[11] And he slandered him, because he coveted his kingdom.
Et vituperavit eum, propterea quod concupierat regnum ejus.
[12] And he took away his daughter, and gave her to Demetrius, and alienated himself from Alexander, and his enmities were made manifest.
Et abstulit filiam suam, et dedit eam Demetrio, et alienavit se ab Alexandro, et manifestae sunt inimicitiae ejus.
[13] And Ptolemee entered into Antioch, and set two crowns upon his head, that of Egypt, and that of Asia.
Et intravit Ptolemaeus Antiochiam, et imposuit duo diademata capiti suo, Aegypti et Asiae.
[14] Now king Alexander was in Cilicia at that time: because they that were in those places had rebelled.
Alexander autem rex erat in Cilicia illis temporibus : quia rebellabant qui erant in locis illis.
[15] And when Alexander heard of it, he came to give him battle, and king Ptolemee brought forth his army, and met him with a strong power, and put him to flight.
Et audivit Alexander, et venit ad eum in bellum : et produxit Ptolemaeus rex exercitum, et occurrit ei in manu valida, et fugavit eum.
[16] And Alexander fled into Arabia, there to be protected: and king Ptolemee was exalted.
Et fugit Alexander in Arabiam, ut ibi protegeretur : rex autem Ptolemaeus exaltatus est.
[17] And Zabdiel the Arabian took off Alexander's head, and sent it to Ptolemee.
Et abstulit Zabdiel Arabs caput Alexandri, et misit Ptolemaeo.
[18] And king Ptolemee died the third day after: and they that were in the strong holds were destroyed by them that were within the camp.
Et rex Ptolemaeus mortuus est in die tertia : et qui erant in munitionibus, perierunt ab his qui erant intra castra.
[19] And Demetrius reigned in the hundred and sixty-seventh year.
Et regnavit Demetrius anno centesimo sexagesimo septimo.
[20] In those days Jonathan gathered together them that were in Judea, to take the castle that was in Jerusalem: and they made many engines of war against it.
In diebus illis congregavit Jonathas eos qui erant in Judaea, ut expugnarent arcem quae est in Jerusalem : et fecerunt contra eam machinas multas.
[21] Then some wicked men that hated their own nation, went away to king Demetrius, and told him that Jonathan was besieging the castle.
Et abierunt quidam qui oderant gentem suam viri iniqui ad regem Demetrium, et renuntiaverunt ei quod Jonathas obsideret arcem.
[22] And when he heard it, he was angry: and forthwith he came to Ptolemais, and wrote to Jonathan, that he should not besiege the castle, but should come to him in haste, and speak to him.
Et ut audivit, iratus est : et statim venit ad Ptolemaidam, et scripsit Jonathae ne obsideret arcem, sed occurreret sibi ad colloquium festinato.
[23] But when Jonathan heard this, he bade them besiege it still: and he chose some of the ancients of Israel, and of the priests, and put himself in danger.
Ut audivit autem Jonathas, jussit obsidere : et elegit de senioribus Israel, et de sacerdotibus, et dedit se periculo.
[24] And he took gold, and silver, and raiment, and many other presents, and went to the king to Ptolemais, and he found favour in his sight.
Et accepit aurum, et argentum, et vestem, et alia xenia multa, et abiit ad regem Ptolemaidam : et invenit gratiam in conspectu ejus,
[25] And certain wicked men of his nation made complaints against him.
et interpellabant adversus eum quidam iniqui ex gente sua.
[26] And the king treated him as his predecessor had done before: and he exalted him in the sight of all his friends.
Et fecit ei rex sicut fecerant ei qui ante eum fuerant : et exaltavit eum in conspectu omnium amicorum suorum,
[27] And he confirmed him in the high priesthood, and all the honours he had before, and he made him the chief of his friends.
et statuit ei principatum sacerdotii, et quaecumque alia habuit prius pretiosa, et fecit eum principem amicorum.
[28] And Jonathan requested of the king that he would make Judea free from tribute, and the three governments, and Samaria, and the confines thereof: and he promised him three hundred talents.
Et postulavit Jonathas a rege ut immunem faceret Judaeam, et tres toparchias, et Samariam et confines ejus : et promisit ei talenta trecenta.
[29] And the king consented: and he wrote letters to Jonathan of all these things to this effect.
Et consensit rex : et scripsit Jonathae epistolas de his omnibus, hunc modum continentes :
[30] King Demetrius to his brother Jonathan, and to the nation of the Jews, greeting.
Rex Demetrius fratri Jonathae salutem, et genti Judaeorum.
[31] We send you here a copy of the letter, which we have written to Lasthenes our parent concerning you, that you might know it.
Exemplum epistolae, quam scripsimus Lastheni parenti nostro de vobis, misimus ad vos ut sciretis :
[32] King Demetrius to Lasthenes his parent, greeting.
Rex Demetrius Lastheni parenti salutem.
[33] We have determined to do good to the nation of the Jews who are our friends, and keep the things that are just with us, for their good will which they bear towards us.
Genti Judaeorum amicis nostris, et conservantibus quae justa sunt apud nos, decrevimus benefacere propter benignitatem ipsorum, quam erga nos habent.
[34] We have ratified therefore unto them all the borders of Judea, and the three cities, Apherema, Lydda, and Ramatha, which are added to Judea, out of Samaria, and all their confines, to be set apart to all them that sacrifice in Jerusalem, instead of the payments which the king received of them every year, and for the fruits of the land, and of the trees.
Statuimus ergo illis omnes fines Judaeae, et tres civitates, Lydan, et Ramathan, quae additae sunt Judaeae ex Samaria, et omnes confines earum, sequestrari omnibus sacrificantibus in Jerosolymis pro his quae ab eis prius accipiebat rex per singulos annos, et pro fructibus terrae et pomorum.
[35] And as for other things that belonged to us of the tithes, and of the tributes, from this time we discharge them of them: the saltpans also, and the crowns that were presented to us.
Et alia quae ad nos pertinebant decimarum et tributorum ex hoc tempore, remittimus eis : et areas salinarum, et coronas, quae nobis deferebantur,
[36] We give all to them, and nothing hereof shall be revoked from this time forth and for ever.
omnia ipsis concedimus : et nihil horum irritum erit, ex hoc, et in omne tempus.
[37] Now therefore see that thou make a copy of these things, and let it be given to Jonathan, and set upon the holy mountain, in a conspicuous place.
Nunc ergo curate facere horum exemplum, et detur Jonathae, et ponatur in monte sancto, in loco celebri.
[38] And king Demetrius seeing that the land was quiet before him, and nothing resisted him, sent away all his forces, every man to his own place, except the foreign army, which he had drawn together from the islands of the nations: so all the troops of his fathers hated him.
Et videns Demetrius rex quod siluit terra in conspectu suo, et nihil ei resistit, dimisit totum exercitum suum, unumquemque in locum suum, excepto peregrino exercitu, quem contraxit ab insulis gentium : et inimici erant ei omnes exercitus patrum ejus.
[39] Now there was one Tryphon who had been of Alexander's party before: who seeing that all the army murmured against Demetrius, went to Emalchuel the Arabian, who brought up Antiochus the son of Alexander.
Tryphon autem erat quidam partium Alexandri prius : et vidit quoniam omnis exercitus murmurabat contra Demetrium, et ivit ad Emalchuel Arabem, qui nutriebat Antiochum filium Alexandri :
[40] And he pressed him much to deliver him to him, that he might be king in his father's place: and he told him all that Demetrius had done, and how his soldiers hated him. And he remained there many days.
et assidebat ei, ut traderet eum ipsi, ut regnaret loco patris sui : et enuntiavit ei quanta fecit Demetrius, et inimicitias exercituum ejus adversus illum. Et mansit ibi diebus multis.
[41] And Jonathan sent to king Demetrius, desiring that he would cast out them that were in the castle in Jerusalem, and those that were in the strong holds: because they fought against Israel.
Et misit Jonathas ad Demetrium regem, ut ejiceret eos qui in arce erant in Jerusalem, et qui in praesidiis erant : quia impugnabant Israel.
[42] And Demetrius sent to Jonathan, saying: I will not only do this for thee, and for thy people, but I will greatly honour thee, and thy nation, when opportunity shall serve.
Et misit Demetrius ad Jonathan, dicens : Non haec tantum faciam tibi, et genti tuae, sed gloria illustrabo te, et gentem tuam, cum fuerit opportunum.
[43] Now therefore thou shalt do well if thou send me men to help me: for all my army is gone from me.
Nunc ergo recte feceris, si miseris in auxilium mihi viros : quia discessit omnis exercitus meus.
[44] And Jonathan sent him three thousand valiant men to Antioch: and they came to the king, and the king was very glad of their coming.
Et misit ei Jonathas tria millia virorum fortium Antiochiam : et venerunt ad regem, et delectatus est rex in adventu eorum.
[45] And they that were of the city assembled themselves together, to the number of a hundred and twenty thousand men, and would have killed the king.
Et convenerunt qui erant de civitate, centum viginti millia virorum, et volebant interficere regem.
[46] And the king fled into the palace, and they of the city kept the passages of the city, and began to fight.
Et fugit rex in aulam : et occupaverunt qui erant de civitate, itinera civitatis, et coeperunt pugnare.
[47] And the king called the Jews to his assistance: and they came to him all at once, and they all dispersed themselves through the city.
Et vocavit rex Judaeos in auxilium, et convenerunt omnes simul ad eum, et dispersi sunt omnes per civitatem :
[48] And they slew in that day a hundred thousand men, and they set fire to the city, and got many spoils that day, and delivered the king.
et occiderunt in illa die centum millia hominum, et succenderunt civitatem, et ceperunt spolia multa in die illa, et liberaverunt regem.
[49] And they that were of the city saw that the Jews had got the city as they would: and they were discouraged in their minds, and cried to the king, making supplication, and saying:
Et viderunt qui erant de civitate, quod obtinuissent Judaei civitatem sicut volebant : et infirmati sunt mente sua, et clamaverunt ad regem cum precibus, dicentes :
[50] Grant us peace, and let the Jews cease from assaulting us, and the city.
Da nobis dextras, et cessent Judaei oppugnare nos, et civitatem.
[51] And they threw down their arms, and made peace, and the Jews were glorified in the sight of the king, and in the sight of all that were in his realm, and were renowned throughout the kingdom, and returned to Jerusalem with many spoils.
Et projecerunt arma sua, et fecerunt pacem, et glorificati sunt Judaei in conspectu regis, et in conspectu omnium qui erant in regno ejus, et nominati sunt in regno : et regressi sunt in Jerusalem habentes spolia multa.
[52] So king Demetrius sat in the throne of his kingdom: and the land was quiet before him.
Et sedit Demetrius rex in sede regni sui : et siluit terra in conspectu ejus.
[53] And he falsified all whatsoever he had said, and alienated himself from Jonathan, and did not reward him according to the benefits he had received from him, but gave him great trouble.
Et mentitus est omnia quaecumque dixit, et abalienavit se a Jonatha, et non retribuit ei secundum beneficia quae sibi tribuerat, et vexabat eum valde.
[54] And after this Tryphon returned, and with him Antiochus the young boy, who was made king, and put on the diadem.
Post haec autem reversus est Tryphon, et Antiochus cum eo puer adolescens, et regnavit, et imposuit sibi diadema.
[55] And there assembled unto him all the hands which Demetrius had sent away, and they fought against Demetrius, who turned his back and fled.
Et congregati sunt ad eum omnes exercitus, quos disperserat Demetrius, et pugnaverunt contra eum : et fugit, et terga vertit.
[56] And Tryphon took the elephants, and made himself master of Antioch.
Et accepit Tryphon bestias, et obtinuit Antiochiam.
[57] And young Antiochus wrote to Jonathan, saying: I confirm thee in the high priesthood, and I appoint thee ruler over the four cities, and to be one of the king's friends.
Et scripsit Antiochus adolescens Jonathae, dicens : Constituo tibi sacerdotium, et constituo te super quatuor civitates, ut sis de amicis regis.
[58] And he sent him vessels of gold for his service, and he gave him leave to drink in gold, and to be clothed in purple, and to wear a golden buckle:
Et misit illi vasa aurea in ministerium, et dedit ei potestatem bibendi in auro, et esse in purpura, et habere fibulam auream :
[59] And he made his brother Simon governor from the borders of Tyre even to the confines of Egypt.
et Simonem fratrem ejus constituit ducem a terminis Tyri usque ad fines Aegypti.
[60] Then Jonathan went forth and passed through the cities beyond the river: and all the forces of Syria gathered themselves to him to help him, and he came to Ascalon, and they met him honourably out of the city.
Et exiit Jonathas, et perambulabat trans flumen civitates : et congregatus est ad eum omnis exercitus Syriae in auxilium, et venit Ascalonem, et occurrerunt ei honorifice de civitate.
[61] And he went from thence to Gaza: and they that were in Gaza shut him out: and he besieged it, and burnt all the suburbs round about, and took the spoils.
Et abiit inde Gazam : et concluserunt se qui erant Gazae : et obsedit eam, et succendit quae erant in circuitu civitatis, et praedatus est ea.
[62] And the men of Gaza made supplication to Jonathan, and he gave them the right hand: and he took their sons for hostages, and sent them to Jerusalem: and he went through the country as far as Damascus.
Et rogaverunt Gazenses Jonathan, et dedit illis dexteram : et accepit filios eorum obsides, et misit illos in Jerusalem : et perambulavit regionem usque Damascum.
[63] And Jonathan heard that the generals of Demetrius were come treacherously to Cades, which is in Galilee, with a great army, purposing to remove him from the affairs of the kingdom:
Et audivit Jonathas quod praevaricati sunt principes Demetrii in Cades, quae est in Galilaea, cum exercitu multo, volentes eum removere a negotio regni :
[64] And he went against them: but left his brother Simon in the country.
et occurrit illis : fratrem autem suum Simonem reliquit intra provinciam.
[65] And Simon encamped against Bethsura, and assaulted it many days, and shut them up.
Et applicuit Simon ad Bethsuram, et expugnabat eam diebus multis, et conclusit eos.
[66] And they desired him to make peace, and he granted it them: and he cast them out from thence, and took the city, and placed a garrison in it.
Et postulaverunt ab eo dextras accipere, et dedit illis : et ejecit eos inde, et cepit civitatem, et posuit in ea praesidium.
[67] And Jonathan, and his army encamped by the water of Genesar, and before it was light they were ready in the plain of Asor.
Et Jonathas et castra ejus applicuerunt ad aquam Genesar, et ante lucem vigilaverunt in campo Asor :
[68] And behold the army of the strangers met him in the plain, and they laid an ambush for him in the mountains: but he went out against them.
et ecce castra alienigenarum occurrebant in campo, et tendebant ei insidias in montibus : ipse autem occurrit ex adverso.
[69] And they that lay in ambush arose out of their places, and joined battle.
Insidiae vero exsurrexerunt de locis suis, et commiserunt praelium.
[70] And all that were on Jonathan's side fled, and none was left of them, but Mathathias the son of Absalom, and Judas the son of Calphi, chief captain of the army.
Et fugerunt qui erant ex parte Jonathae omnes, et nemo relictus est ex eis, nisi Mathathias filius Absolomi, et Judas filius Calphi, princeps militiae exercitus.
[71] And Jonathan rent his garments, and cast earth upon his head, and prayed.
Et scidit Jonathas vestimenta sua, et posuit terram in capite suo, et oravit.
[72] And Jonathan turned again to them to battle, and he put them to flight, and they fought.
Et reversus est Jonathas ad eos in praelium, et convertit eos in fugam, et pugnaverunt.
[73] And they of his part that fled saw this, and they turned again to him, and they all with him pursued the enemies even to Cades to their own camp, and they came even thither.
Et viderunt qui fugiebant partis illius, et reversi sunt ad eum, et insequebantur cum eo omnes usque Cades ad castra sua, et pervenerunt usque illuc :
[74] And there fell of the aliens in that day three thousand men: and Jonathan returned to Jerusalem.
et ceciderunt de alienigenis in die illa tria millia virorum : et reversus est Jonathas in Jerusalem.

Thank you so much for making our day perfect! It was an amazing day! I can't thank you enough for making the day go so smooth. We loved everyone the minister, photographer, limo driver, and our stylist. It truly was perfect! I really enjoyed the wedding for being someone so shy I was scared a little for the photographs having someone else take them. Arien Sherman did an amazing job. Thank you again I really appreciated everything you did and I never had to worry even being all the way in Oregon.

Kickstarter ended and we had a really strong finish raising 805% of our goal. After Kickstarter ends, the funds aren't instant, but we received enough of the money to place some orders. We just got a shipment of carbon fiber in, so production of the Ghost is underway. We have ordered the motors as well, but they are about a month out. The motors have covers and a new wind that offers a bit more torque.
We have also made some design changes that I think you'll really like. The vertical camera adjustment worked well on the prototype, but it was the weakest spot of the gimbal and harder to adjust. We are replacing the thin, vertical adjustment bars, with carbon fiber rods and a quick adjust system. I also designed a new camera mounting plate that spans the whole width. This eliminates the lower carbon fiber rod, which had a tendency to rotate when adjusting. These pieces are currently being produced, so we don't have photos of them right now.
Production Begins!

The Fagforbundet municipal union is calling for public sector unions to co-ordinate their pay claims next year with special negotiations over how to deal with pay inequality. Average pay in the public sector, where 70% of workers are women, is lower than in the private sector where 70% of the workers are men. The specially convened pay commission argued that around 3 billion kronor (Euro 360 million) will be needed to close the gender pay gap. Fagforbundet wants to see the unions get together following the main public sector negotiations next spring to work out how to deal with the issue. The union refers to the successful co-ordination over pensions early this year that stopped government plans to reduce pension benefits.

Tackling Recycling FAQs for America Recycles DayCreated: 11/13/2015 Updated: 7/29/2016
Subscribe to the Nature Museum blog and never miss a post!
America Recycles Day is held annually on November 15 as an initiative of Keep America Beautiful and as part of the wider effort to get more Americans actively recycling. Since sustainability is so important to our institution, and plays such a big part of so many of our exhibits (including Peanuts...Naturally!)we wanted to help get citizens educated about recycling. We used America Recycles Day as an opportunity to field some of your recyling questions, and our Sustainability and Chicago Conservation Corps Manager Kristen Pratt found the answers!
Do we need to wash clean every container that goes into the recycling bin? Do they not get recycled if they still have stuff in them?
No. A small amount of food/beverage residual in the container is acceptable. Containers still partially full of food or liquid should be emptied before being placed in the blue cart. A benefit to rinsing containers is for sanitary purposes while storing the empty containers in the home, and the ultimate goal is to prevent the contamination of other recyclables (especially paper, which can't be washed). So...clean out what you can, but it doesn't have to be spotless!
What should we do with plastic caps?
Plastic bottle caps are generally made from different plastics than the bottle. Since different plastics are recycled in different ways, the caps should be separated from the bottles. That said: because people often DON'T remove the bottle caps, many recycling facilities have taken to cutting off the tops of bottles to separate the caps. Sometimes these caps are sold as a commodity, sometimes they aren't. For Blue Cart Recycling in Chicago, the caps ARE accepted, so throw 'em in!
Where can I recycle light bulbs?
Unbroken CFLs can go to the Household Chemical and Computer Recycling Facility or to most box stores where they are sold (Home Depot, Lowe's). Broken CFLs and incandescents go in the trash.
Where can I recycle old cleaning supplies?
Cleaning supplies go to HCCRF, as well.
Where can I recycle old pills?
Pills go to ANY police station.
Does the demand for recycled plastic drop after the price of oil decreases?
Yes, they're connected. Manufacturers often ask: which is cheaper? To make new plastic (out of oil) or to pay for post-consumer plastics? When oil is cheap, it unfortunately drives down the demand for the recycled plastics.

Reducing your Holiday ImpactCreated: 12/20/2012 Updated: 8/10/2016
As the holidays near, it's even more important to consider the impact that our choices have on the environment. Between Thanksgiving and New Year's, an additional 1 million tons of waste is generated per week in the U.S. This waste includes things like shopping bags, ribbon, wrapping paper, and over 2 billion holiday cards[1]
So what can the average person do to reduce their own holiday impact? The good news is that there are many ways to make a difference.
- Don't forget your reusable shopping bags! Keep disposables out of the landfill by bringing a cloth bag, or reusing those grocery bags you have stashed under the cabinet.
- Use newsprint to wrap gifts. Try the funny papers- it's a unique and often unexpected way to package gifts that will help yours stand out.
- Make your own holiday cards by "up cycling"! Save cards you receive throughout the year- cut them, tear them, and paste the pieces together to create new, one-of-a-kind designs.
- Buy rechargeable batteries to accompany any electronics, and consider including a battery charger as part of the gift.
- Consider durability and recyclability of gifts before you purchase. If it isn't expected to last for years, can it be recycled?[2]
Challenge your family to try one (or more) of these tips this holiday season and see what a difference it makes. Children can participate by keeping track of how many bags, rolls of wrapping paper & holiday cards you've saved from Thanksgiving to New Year's Day.
Have green gifting tips of your own? Please share in the comments.

Game of Tropes
This past weekend, my 14-year-old woke up deciding to create a new Dungeons & Dragons-inspired board game.

After this, he scripted out a list of quests and adventures based on what he'd laid out. By lunch he was meticulously rendering on paper the dozens of wyverns, warriors, royals, and adventurers that would inhabit this game. Read More

Hi moms 👋🏽 so it's been 5 months since I gave birth and I've decided to get back into a fitness routine. Why now? Well, fitness was a big part of my life before i fell pregnant so it's definitely something I have missed these past few months. When I found out I was pregnant, I stopped hitting the gym mainly because l wanted to make sure that my little guy was safe and sound. I know it's perfectly fine to exercise throughout a pregnancy but Im just one of those people that like to focus on one thing at a time.. and at that time, my focus was on growing my sweet Aidan 😊
Since Aidan's birth, I haven't really wanted to put any thoughts on my weight, fitness etc because I just wanted to make sure that Aidan was doing well. As a first time mom whose only assistance is Skype calls with Mom and google, I really didn't feel like I could prioritize myself before I even knew how to breastfeed my son properly 🤷🏽♀😆
Now Aidan is 5 months old and I feel I've gotten a hang of this motherhood job so now I can get back to making myself feel good. For me, there are other benefits I look for through fitness other than the banging body, for example improving my energy levels. Exercising helps me improve my energy levels, clear my head and skin. I will be exercising from home, with just a little equipment that I got.
My doctor had advised me to stay off exercise for at least 3 months Post delivery and at 3 months post partum I wasn't ready to start exercising again. How do I know this? I tried it 🙈 One evening I thought, let me just go get a jog in to see how it will go. Guys, it was complete hell. I couldn't carry my body and I felt like i was all over the place and had no control/ strength over my core. I was quick to realize that I needed more time to heal and so I retired those ambitions and just continued to focus on healing and good nutrition.
I think it's really important not to rush into things because you'll never know what damage you could cause. I would love to have a vaginal delivery for my next pregnancy so I really try to be careful with my C-section recovery.
What is this? You can read up on it over here 👉🏽https://wellnessmama.com/60398/diastasis-recti/
When I stumbled onto this article, I was almost 3 months Post partum and so I decided to do some exercises to correct this. I've been doing them since then ( so for like 2 months). I definitely feel much stronger in my core and feel as though I have more control and stability. Before doing these exercises, flexing my abdominal muscles was impossible, they just felt completely nonexistent, to the point where I actually never pictured myself even doing any abdominal exercises successfully but now I'm feeling a little stronger in that department, strong enough to give me hope that I just might see my abs again one day.
You can find the exercise video here.
what is my definition of fitness? Before I begin, I think it's very important for me to talk about what fitness means to me. I think it's important for everyone who is planning on starting a fitness journey to know and understand what fitness means to them. For me, fitness is being able to run a good distance without huffing and puffing, it's being able to feel lighter on my feet and energized during the day. Fitness is feeling strong and also looking my best. Everyone has their own fitness goals and preferences. Mine include that my body is toned and firm.(I lost all my muscle mass during my pregnancy )
What is my goal? It's super important to set goals when getting back into fitness, and realistic ones too. So I've gone ahead and set some goals for my fitness journey. And here what it looks like;
Mental state: less fatigue, more energy and self love
Timeline: 16 weeks, I will be giving myself 16 weeks to achieve my fitness goals. The first 4 of these weeks will be dedicated to pre-training.. like a little crash course to get my body ready for intense workouts. I feel as though it was super important for me to start off with the pre training because the one thing I remember about trying to lose weight before, I was really impatient and did all the hard exercises on the first day/week. This would leave me with the most terrible muscle soreness and I would feel so unfit and demotivated. So this time I started off slow and I definitely feel ready to take on some weights now.
Weight: I would love to weigh 65kg. My Current weight is 71kgs so I have 6kgs to drop off. I'm pretty hopeful
Body goals: I have really fallen in love with my new Mom body so I will be focusing more on toning my body and building muscleinstead of weight loss, the weight I would love to lose is mainly from my tummy and back but I know that for that to happen, I'll still need to lose some in all the other places. So we're really going for an hour glass shape.
Method. I will be exercising with Dzuke, because we do everything together ☺ and we'll be exercising 5 times a week.
HIIT exercises three days of the week(MWF) and light activity for the other two (T/Th)
We've found that we'll have to workout in the evening (1900hrs-2000hr) when Aidan goes in for the long sleep. This is convenient for us as we both go through long days and use this to wind down the day and distress. Another benefit I've realized is that after working out in the evening, I tend to sleep much better.
Nutrition: Since I'm still exclusively breastfeeding, I can't afford to be stingy with my calories. My diet since giving birth has been inclusive of 5 meals a day to keep my tummy satisfied and my milk supply good. I try to stay away from foods that are high in starch and fill up on fruits and nuts throughout the day. Breakfast is usually a protein filled English breakfast then followed by porridge, oatmeal or weetbix (sp)more especially if I'm still feeling a little hungry. My diet is not strict cause sometimes I'm just burned out and Nandos is just a call away but even then I try to exclude their fries and have a home made salad and sweet potato fries to accompany their chicken. And on some days I just let loose and get those wings that I've been thinking about during the week.
I will be taking my time with my goals and being as patient as possible. The one thing I know from experience is that, results won't come immediately, it takes time and consistency. I will have my occasional drinks and cheat days, as mentioned this is not a strict fitness journey.
I won't be able to post all the workouts that I will be doing but I will post some favorites once a week on my instagram sokeep posted.

Pillow Plus is my second mattress purchased from Keetsa. I bought one for my king bed one year ago and I enjoyed it so much that I decided to have one for a guest bedroom. I love the fact that Keetsa is eco friendly. I also enjoy a better sleep every night. Thank you Keetsa!View More Reviews
This mattress is so incredibly comfortable...so happy I bought it!
I am loving my KEETSA mattress so far! It is the right amount of soft and firm and the delivery could not have been easier. Highly recommend!
This is the BEST mattress i have bought. Do yourself a favor and buy a Keetsa!
I am thrilled with my new Keetsa Pillow Plus. It arrived in a timely fashion and was easy to set up. Love it!
Gorgeous, wonderful mattress at a great price!
Love the bed. Love the materials used
The mattress arrived in a large box. Definitely need two people to unload the mattress. The mattress inflated quickly after we removed the plastic wrap. No odor at all. Most importantly, the mattress is VERY comfortable. It has just the right amount of softness for me.
My keetsa is everything i wanted it to be and more. I have chronic neck issues, so having this level of comfort at night has been life changing. And now all my friends want one too!
We are in love with our new King Keetsa mattress. Incredibly soft but supportive, we couldn't be happier and recommend to all. I bought our two kids mattresses a few years ago and finally bought ours and I regret waiting so long. Very happy family here.
The Keetsa Pillow Plus is great! We love that it's so eco-friendly and healthy to sleep plus it is really comfortable!
I love it! :-) Also, the staff was super responsive and helpful.
Fast delivery and super comfortable mattress.
Best. Mattress. Ever.
I picked this mattress for my 5 year old because it was a good combination of value, eco-friendliness, and it had springs (which I wanted for supporting his growing body) unlike other competitors. It's quite comfortable to lie down next to him as well!
Not going to lie, it's pretty hard/firm. I purchased the pillowtop mattress which was surprising. I do appreciate that it's less toxic than convential brands and does cost as much as a Prius.
Awesome!! We are So happy with our new bed!
Very comfy. Fast shipping.
Sturdy frame with under bed storage space and an incredibly comfortable mattress.
The mattress has been giv Me off a strong smell for a few weeks now. I'm hoping it goes away. This is my second mattress. Don't recall having the same from the other.
I received the mattress over a month ago, but wanted to give it a little time before reviewing it, just to make sure. I am very pleased with this mattress. I am a side sleeper, and was waking up several times a night with sore shoulders, and sometimes my arm would be asleep. I decided to get a new mattress, but wanted something environmentally friendly, affordable, and comfortable. I got all 3 with this mattress. I am sleeping more deeply, and longer than before, resulting in a less cranky me. I highly recommend this mattress!
I bought this, as well as the keetsa contour pillow with the hopes that I was doing better things for my back and neck . This product was a major mistake for me personally, I really wish I could take it back and get something else . When I decide to wake up now , it's because I'm too sore to lay on the bed any longer, not because I got a good nights rest. This goes for multiple positions including side sleeping , back sleeping, and stomach sleeping . I know this because I wake up multiple times in the middle of the night and have to switch positions . I am a healthy woman in my 20s and am not overweight. I also wake up every night with a stiff neck . If Keetsa is reading this, please contact me to help get this resolved : / I was really excited about the product (which is less than one year old) , but I really need to consider saving up for something else .
This mattress has been worth every penny I spent. What was important to my wife and I was a cool and supportive mattress. I fall asleep sooner and stay asleep longer now we have what we need. Thank youView More Reviews
Due to a spinal cord injury, I was only getting 4-5 hours of solid sleep. With my gel bed that has increased to 6-7 hours. I gave a four rating because of the massage feature. It's loud on higher settings and the massage vibration is not that smooth at higher settings.
Wow, this is a great bed. I wake up totally rested. Best sleep I have ever had. I am waking up one to two hours earlier then I use to and feel completly rested. I am not waking up in the night like I use to. A more deep sleep for sure!
Purchased two twin XL beds that were delivered a week ago and have experienced the best sleep ever from the first night. This mattress conforms perfectly to the adjustable base providing a high level of comofort in all positions. Customer service was very helpful in deciding which bed was right for me.
I love this mattress. I was 9 months pregnant when we first got the estasi and immediately noticed my hip pain diminishing. Three months later, I'm happily sleeping on my belly and side again and could not be more pleased with the comfort this mattress provides. It is the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. I love this mattress, I love this company even more. The original retailer I purchased this from went out of business shortly after my purchase and technogel went above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied. The situation I found myself in was at no fault to them, however they stepped and treated me as their personal customer. You don't find support like this often as a consumer and I was blown away. They stand by their products and guarantees and seriously treat their customers like friends. Coziest mattress ever. Phenomenal customer service. Thank you technogel, you have a customer for life.
I have experienced chronic and excruciating back & neck pain since I was 18 years old. I suffered a major shoulder and neck injury after slipping off of a barn roof and onto a pile lumber. I never broke any bones (to this day I don't know how), however the muscles and tissue damage was quite severe. My doctor pumped me full of quarterzone which got me very quickly back to work… three days after the incident if I recall. The quarterzone however only made issues worse years later; the scar tissue became rock hard and began to make my muscles and joints seize. In passing time, I began to see chiropractors, which unfortunately also mislead me by not fixing the problem, but only alleviating it. Pain started to become a way of life for me. When I was 25, I was in a vehicle roll over where my seat belt failed and came undone. To this day I don't understand how I am alive! My spine was impacted, my hip was dislocated, and my L3 through L5, C3 through C6 were all injured. Again, no broken bones… I know, isn't it unbelievable? Perhaps I should have been Super Dave's Side Kick. Tylenol 3, more chiropractic care, massage and other questionable therapies only alleviated the pain that I was now suffering. I purchased a memory foam bed that was supposed to help with posture and with correcting my body; it only made things worse, of which today many researchers are testifying to. Trust me when I say that memory foam mattresses are a complete rip off… I know, I have owned a few and will never go back. For years I suffered. Many different pain relief medicine and anti-inflammatory medication were a normal part of daily life. At one point I was seeing a chiropractor, massage therapist, and acupuncture as much as 5 times a week each. I couldn't exercise because the pain was so bad. My back and neck issues were literally taking over my life. After an MRI and CAT scan, I was diagnosed with Degenerative Disc disease and slight scoliosis… it was time to look at other alternatives. If I didn't, then things will only continue to get worse. I went shopping for a mattress. I was of course done with memory foam mattresses. I tried other coil mattresses, however they too were not helping. I then came across Technogel in an online forum. It really intrigued me that that this gel product that was invented by the big pharma Bayer and claimed to be a state of the art product. I purchased my mattress and had it delivered. The $5000 that I paid was difficult to swallow, but I was desperate and simply had to try it. Besides, does cost matter when it comes to sleeping and living a better life? The first night I hated my mattress along with the next 2 weeks that came by, but I gave it time. As it turns out, the mattress was actually providing the support that I needed to correct the imperfections and scar tissue. The gel, which is 100% nontoxic and "biocompatible" was providing support and correcting my issues. The "3D Formation" as they call it was doing exactly that Technogel described and provided the proper comfort & support that I required. It really was the conforming product that I needed. Here I am now one year and I have not been to chiropractor, taken any anti-inflammatories, or pain relief medication for my problems. After 18 years of pain and suffering, my Technogel Mattress has literally changed my life.
One touch of the Technogel Part of the mattress and I was immediately hooked. I knew this was what I wanted to sleep on every night. The cool sensation I get From the technogel when I lay down on my Estasi+ Queen Mattress is so nice, and like no other bed I have ever laid on.. The entire mattress is really comfortable. So comfortable i regret having to get out of bed in the morning. I feel the mattress provides my back with perfect support. In the almost one year I have owned this mattress I have not detected any decrease in the comfort or support, which I am hoping stays the same for many years to come. I liked the Technogel so much i also purchased two Bed pillows and two seat cushions. (If you want to feel the maximum amount of coolness from the Technogel, you can remove the Factory-provided cover, which I did. I then put my own cover .on. In the case of the bed pillows, i put on standard soft pillow cases.) If you want to sleep quite cool and comfortable, I recommend you check out Technogel I am so glad I switched to Technogel.
We finally decided we needed to replace the decade old mattress we had. We looked at a number of different mattresses that Healthy Back Store had to offer and finally settled on the Estasi+. We like memory foam so this is a great fit for us. I am one of those sleepers that usually gets hot, and the Technogel is a great invention for people like me. Best investment we ever made! Best sleep we've had in years.
Beats my old Temper-Pedic bed. Outstanding comfort!
Most supportive bed I've ever slept on. Very happy with my Vive Mattress!

AUGUSTA – A measure from Rep. Martin Grohman to protect consumers from unexpected medical bills is now law. "When you're dealing with an illness, an injury or even a routine medical procedure, you shouldn't also have to worry about surprise medical bills," said Grohman, I-Biddeford. "I was pleased to get unanimous committee support for the idea and especially appreciate the efforts of Rep. Bob Foley of Wells."
The measure will ensure that patients are not penalized if, despite their best efforts, they accidentally see an out-of-network provider at an in-network facility, a common reason for unexpected medical bills. It also requires insurance companies to regularly update their online provider directories so consumers can access accurate, up-to-date information when looking for in-network services.
"This can happen even after you've done your homework and made sure you were going to a facility that's covered by your insurance network," said Grohman. "You did everything you were supposed to do, but you're still left on the hook. This measure will protect Mainers who find themselves in such situations."
A number of states, including Connecticut, Florida, New York, California and Illinois, have passed similar measures in recent years.
LD 1557 was given final approval by both the House and Senate "under the hammer," or by unanimous consent, last week. The governor signed it into law Friday. It took effect Jan. 1, 2018.

I'm not sure if you've noticed, but lawyers have a bit of an obsession with sounding professional. We use words that other people don't use. We develop arguments in a clinical and structured way. We have a form and style to our writing and speaking that other people simply don't.
The question of the day is: what is the virtue in sounding professional?
Does it provide our clients with confidence in our abilities? Or does it alienate us from the real world, and make us seem cold and aloof?
Let's chat.
Happy Lawyering

These vegan cheesy tail twists are a twister on the original cheese straw recipe, because they are vegan-friendly and suitable for dogs. They smell so great, but taste even better than the original luxury cheese straw. What's more, not only are these vegan cheesy tail twists suitable for vegans, made especially for dogs, but they contain plenty of organic flaxseed to give your dog (or you) a boost of omega oils & fibre.
You might be tempted to ask your four-legged friend to share a bite of their treat with you too!
All Wag Wins handmade vegan cheesy tail twists are wheat-free, lactose-free, grain-free and vegan friendly!
