About Book
From AudioFile
Gunman Lassiter helps a wealthy Mormon rancher protect her ranch from cattle rustlers and the church. Books in Motion's production, read by Gene Engene, is highly dramatized and works well with the Western genre. Male characterizations are nicely portrayed and easily distinguishable. While female characters are mildly annoying and insipid, as the listener becomes caught up in the story, this becomes less noticeable. E.L.C. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
"[Zane Grey is] an amazingly significant literary phenomenon."—Hamlin Garland
?[Zane Grey is] an amazingly significant literary phenomenon.??Hamlin Garland
Book Description
Told by a master storyteller who, according to critic Russell Nye, "combined adventure, action, violence, crisis, conflict, sentimentalism, and sex in an extremely shrewd mixture," Riders of the Purple Sage is a classic of the Western genre. It is the story of Lassiter, a gunslinging avenger in black, who shows up in a remote Utah town just in time to save the young and beautiful rancher Jane Withersteen from having to marry a Mormon elder against her will. Lassiter is on his own quest, one that ends when he discovers a secret grave on Jane's grounds. "[Zane Grey's] popularity was neither accidental nor undeserved," wrote Nye. "Few popular novelists have possessed such a grasp of what the public wanted and few have developed Grey's skill at supplying it."

ARMs are still feeling sting of the meltdown
Adjustable-rate mortgages often have lower interest rates than their fixed-rate counterparts, at least initially. Why are they overlooked?
It could have much to do with the home loans receiving a bad rap during the housing meltdown, so borrowers are likely still dodging them, says Dave Jacobin, president of 1st Mariner Mortgage in Baltimore.
"There were all kinds of crazy adjustable-rate mortgage offerings out there," Jacobin says. Some of the loans were 10-year ARMs, which adjust annually after the first 10 years. Other loans adjusted after just the first or second year.
The guidelines for ARMs during the bubble "allowed a lot of people to get into loans that probably shouldn't have been in those loans and really didn't have a chance for success from the get-go," Jacobin says.
'Pick-a-pay' trouble
Another adjustable product offered pre-crisis was the payment option ARM, or "pick-a-pay" loan, in which borrowers had a large or small monthly payment of their choosing such as:
■An amount that's part of an amortization schedule for a 15- or 30-year term.
■An interest-only payment.
■A minimum payment.
Borrowers who chose to pay just the minimum found themselves experiencing negative amortization, which is when the amount owed increases — even after the borrower makes a payment.
"Everybody banked on the fact that housing values were going to continue to increase, but we all know that that wasn't the case," Jacobin says. "When housing values are decreasing at a rapid pace and your balance on your mortgage that you owe is increasing, that's a recipe for disaster — and that's what happened."
In 2005, ARMs commanded 38.5 percent of the mortgage market, according to an analysis by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
A decade later, Ellie Mae reports that ARMs account for only 5.3 percent of all mortgages originated during September 2015.
Uncertainty over the interest rate environment could also be contributing to borrowers' aversion to ARMs. More people see increasing risk in the marketplace and are choosing to stay away from ARMs as a result, according to a RealtyTrac report.
When will ARMs return?
Two things would have to happen for adjustable-rate mortgages to make a comeback: Mortgage rates would have to significantly increase and homes would have to become less affordable.
"If affordability goes down, people flock to adjustables in order to be able to afford more," says Michael Moskowitz, founder and president of Equity Now in New York.
The vast majority of adjustable-rate mortgages are sold to homebuyers who are suited for them, Jacobin says.
He uses the following scenario as an example: If the 30-year fixed rate reaches 6 percent but a 10-year ARM hovers around 5.375 percent, people may start turning their attention to adjustables.
"If you know you're not going to be in the property for 10 years or even if you know you're going to be in the property for 10 years, but you know you're going to be able to pay the principal down significantly or you've got an inheritance coming or you've got property to sell ... (an ARM) makes a lot of sense," Jacobin says.
Borrowers who have a flat base salary but get a large bonus at the end of every year may also benefit from an adjustable-rate loan, he says.
ARMs are suitable for buyers who have planned out their lives, adds Moskowitz.
Know the risks
If you're considering an adjustable-rate mortgage, be sure you're fully aware of all the moving parts of this loan type, Jacobin advises. That includes understanding the index to which the loan is tied, the periodic rate cap and the lifetime rate cap.
"Be sure that if you're going to be in that property when those adjustments hit, that you are able to make the monthly payments without putting too much of a (strain) on the rest of your financial picture," he says.

Diva Frumping: Writing…..
"There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down to a typewriter and bleed."
Earnest Hemingway
As you may have guessed, I'm into nurturing the muse this week. I liked this Hemingway quote, that's how I feel of late. I want to share words of wisdom and grace and inspiration. Not happening. As my great auntie use to say…."I'm dragging a long behind!" It's snowing today after being nearly 50 degrees yesterday; life in the South. My muse seems to have gone shopping and refuses to return.
We are filming a couple of scenes for my murder mystery this afternoon and I am so not inspired to do so. The Magnolia Sorority is having a tea party. Hopefully we will all rally in spite of the weather and make it work.
I wish I had some of you here with me to inspire and help direct the show. I do have 2 or 3 brilliant, former students, helping, but they also are having the winter doldrums. I need to take my own advice and breathe and dance. I'll go do that and let you know how that worked.

Diva Musing: Ding Dong the Muse is Dead…
Ding Dong the Muse is Dead….
I was recently speaking with some young college friends and we discussed how we currently have a bad case of writers block. To anyone creative this is not death, but a near death experience. Even blogging has been a stretch for me lately.
When your creative energy bank account is depleted, with no sign of a hefty deposit coming anytime soon, you are in a hell of numbness and back paddling.
This empty energy account is also called writer's block for writers, screenwriters, and poets and bloggers. It is even more of a hell for performers, painters, musicians, composers, singers, dancers, the list goes on….
You put a few notes on the sheet music and then angrily toss it. Write a few words maybe even standing like Hemingway….still nothing comes. So now we have writers/artistic block and immense frustration as well.
What to do? Breathe! You heard me breathe. Take a few deep cleansing breaths, meditate for fifteen minutes, if you know how (if you don't learn). Then, even if you are an extreme introvert, get out in it! I mean…life. Get out in your world where the inspiration came from in the first place and feel it again. Getting out around people, seeing the sites around you, getting pissed at bad drivers (personally I feel controlled road rage is good for the soul). Weather you are a writer, painter, or musically inclined…. Dance…, even if it is only spinning around at home or in nature. Dancing usually loosens up all the clogs and gets things flowing again.
I need not remind the people in any of the arts, your work gives to the world a special gift of remolding a reality. It is different for each person who receives your gift. But always remember it is your gift to the world, and the Universe created you with very specific gifts to make the world a better place. You owe it to the Universe, the world, and yourself not to disappoint. So do whatever is necessary to unclog the flow and get that energy bank account full again.
The point is, to live and keep the arts flowing we have to step out of our shells and experience the world. In the city, in nature, at a lake, at a spa…anywhere that resonates with your sense of creativity. It's all up to you to choose; but do choose and get with it. I look forward to the results. Let me know how it goes.

Drake released the video for his hit "Hotline Bling" Monday, showing off some silly dance moves in an amazing setting.
The clip opens with beautiful women working at a phone sex hotline but it doesn't linger there too long. Instead the director X-directed video moves to a number of beautiful otherworldly sets, where Drake is framed amongst minimal white design illuminated by vibrant colors.
The work looks as if it might have been created in collaboration with visual artist James Turrell, whose retrospective Los Angeles County Museum of Art exhibition Dreezy visited last year. He even posted a few similar looking shots to Instagram, showing him bathing in the artist's light works.
"Hotline Bling" samples D.R.A.M.'s song "Cha Cha" and Drake has gone so far to call it a "quasi-cover" of the track. In the video, it's clear he's picked up a couple D.R.A.M.-influenced dance moves as well.
The hit is currently fighting to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart but has been held at No. 2 for two consecutive weeks by The Weeknd's "The Hills," which is atop the chart for its fifth week. The song was released in July with "Back to Back," amidst Drake's fued with Meek Mill.

What's in a name? Quite a bit, when it comes to academic research in Canada, says Western Psychology professor Marc Joanisse.
This summer, Joanisse was named chair of the Panel on Responsible Conduct of Research (PRCR), an interdisciplinary review and advisory body created in 2011 by the country's three major granting agencies – the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC).
As part of the panel's mandate, the Tri-Council agencies established a policy that would publish unethical researchers. Thus far, no names have been released under the policy.
But that doesn't mean there are no teeth to the policy.
"Only serious breaches of agency policy will result in the public disclosure of information related to the breach," said Joanisse, adding every Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) file is unique. "There are varying degrees of breaches; only a small percentage of confirmed breaches are determined to be serious."
All Tri-Council funding applications require applicants to sign a Consent to Disclosure of Personal Information, which allows the agencies, in the event of a serious breach of agency policy, to release personal information concerning the researcher, including their name, nature of the breach, institution where they work and recourse imposed.
The process of a violation is a thorough one. All the involved steps can take years to complete, which is why only now allegations related to applications made under the disclosure policy are being raised.
In 2014-15, the PRCR addressed 89 files. Of the 42 files they closed, 14 involved a confirmed breach of agency policy, including those related to plagiarism, falsification of data, breach of agency guidelines, mismanagement of funds and misrepresentation in an application or related document. The types of recourse imposed included letters of awareness or admonishment, funding and/or peer review ineligibility and reimbursement of agency funds.
Joanisse said it is premature to comment on whether the policy will serve as a deterrent to researchers. The policy only applies to grants held under applications made since Nov. 17, 2011.
"Allegations typically take some time to work their way through the system," he said. "Often, an allegation will not be made until after research results are published, or a doctoral student completes his/her dissertation, for example. That process can take years, depending on the length of the grant, when the breach actually occurs, when it comes to light and when a complainant decides to bring an allegation."
Joanisse hopes education efforts by, among others, the academic institutions, foster an environment that supports the responsible research conduct. He says any future rise in numbers isn't simply a matter of poor ethics, but better understanding.
"Sometimes, an increase in allegations can be a sign that people are more aware of responsible research practices, and is therefore a healthy sign that researchers understand the responsibilities that they, and their colleagues, must meet," he said.
Joanisse, a member of the panel for more than two years, feels his participation in the 'service' side of science is important and gives him an opportunity to see how the process works from the inside.
"I've previously served as a peer reviewer, grant selection committee member and even an associate editor at a journal. Joining the panel struck me as another chance to see inside a very important part of the scientific funding mechanism in Canada," he said.

Each month, i get messages from consumers asking about "artificial blueberries." As you can imagine, they are not happy that the product they just purchased with big-beautiful blueberry photos on the package — do not contain blueberries in the product.
This is an old problem, and thankfully it becomes less and less of a problem each year.
In the beginning, there were fresh blueberries, then frozen — and most blueberries went in these two directions. With the development of processed foods,more and more products were developed as "Shelf stable" and with "intermediate moisture." Ingredients for these products must match specific moisture and water activity requirements. Quite simply, if the available blueberry ingredients did not match, some manufacturers would choose blueberry "analogs." These included blue dyed dehydrated apples, blue colored grain bits and formed gum and fat bits. These products must be labeled properly and will be described in the legal manner in line with US Food and Drug Administration rules.
USHBC takes a positive approach to the artificial blueberries. First, we work to "gently" inform the manufacturers of the overwhelming consumer preference for real blueberries. Also, we learned that consumers react very badly when they learn that a blueberry-identified product does not contain real blueberries. Second, we explain the technical reasons why real blueberries do work in specific food product categories. For example manufacturers can source blueberries in different moisture content.
Blueberries are sized and cut to specifications.
They work just about everywhere.
One big reason that companies have claimed to use artificial blueberries in the past is price. In the past the further processed blueberries were on the pricey side, but with the dawn of the current supply and win-win sales proposition in the blueberry business — most of the products are in the same price range as the artificial. We think the real product is an advantage in itself!

When it comes to creating an "electric vehicle" themed fund, the first question we ask is "is there any existing one in the market and how is it/are they doing?", then we can compare our approach and performance to existing ones to gauge if ours has a competitive edge.
CARZ, EKAR, XKST, DRIV, KARS are close to what we aim to do.
CARZ has attracted $21.04 million since the inception in 2011. It's a global automakers fund. In another word, it has big stakes in the brand-name companies that manufacture the cars you see on the road—Toyota, Daimler, etc.—but no positions in the upstream part suppliers and accessory manufacturers. Nearly 80% of the fund is allocated to American, German, and Japanese automakers. The strategy still appeals to some people. The fund is fairly diversified globally but light on emerging markets in general. CARZ charges 70 bps for this exposure, not low, which might be the reason our client is gravitated to compete with.
CARZ tracks NASDAQ OMX Global Auto Index, which is based on ICB system under the code 3353 as Automobile Manufacturer. Back in 2011, when the fund just started, top holdings are Daimler Ag, For Motor Co, General Motors Co, Toyota Motor Corp, Honda Motor Co, Hyundai Motor Co, Kia Motors Corp, Volkswagen Ag, Bayer Motor Werks, and Nissan Motor Co. While the holdings today as of March 2017 are: Daimler Ag, Honda Motor Co, Ltd, Toyota Motor Corp, General Motors Co, For Motor Co, Hyundai Motor Co, Suzuki Motor Corp, Tesla, Inc, Nissan Motor Co. Ltd, Bayer Motor Werks, Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. We see Volkswagen and Kia were displaced by Suzuki and Tesla now. Even Tesla is added, the index doesn't catch up with the new theme of "driverless" automobile manufacturing. "Driverless" cars or Autonomous cars are equipped with top-notch sensors and software to detect environment so there is no need for a chauffeur to sit behind the wheel.
Seeing it as an unavoidable future path, the unconventional car makers such as Google parent Alphabet Inc. has carved out a driverless unit – Waymo and is hiring rental car company Avis Budget Group Inc. to build up a network of taxi services without drivers. Apple is working with Hertz to test out self-driving vehicles (http://www.cnbc.com/2017/06/26/hertz-shares-soar-after-report-apple-working-to-manage-small-autonomous-fleet.html). Let alone to mention that conventional and giant car manufacturers such as Volvo, BMW, Ford are also trying hard to forge into this space.
The proactive participation of unconventional players such as Google and Apple reflect the revolutionary attributes of EV that conventional gasoline-fueled cars do not possess. The DNA footprint is fundamentally altered inherently even though the two kinds of cars can be made similar outlook. The EVs are
– clean – no need to pump liquid gasoline all the time;
– intelligent – automatic face/body shape recognition, driving habit perception, which can be connected to the insurance company, let along to talk about the driverless capacity, of which, intensive research work are undergoing ;
– flexible – in the future when wireless charging is developed and commercialized.
Limited by the industry classification system ICB, the automobile manufacturer sector 3353 doesn't have the capacity to include this technology element into automaker grouping, hence, investors who want to exploit the auto future with driverless concept need to find other products, which leave an ample room for indexer/ETF issuers to fulfil this demand.
The Global X Autonomous & Electric Vehicles ETF (DRIV) tracks the index relying on artificial intelligence to score and select the top companies from three categories: 15 from electric vehicles; 30 from electric vehicle components and 30 from autonomous vehicle technology. Each constituent is weighted on a modified market-capitalization approach that caps the weights of individual securities. The index is reconstituted every six months. The expense ratio of DRIV is 0.68%.
Top 20 index components by weighting are: Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Toyota (NYSE:TM), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Samsung (), Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO), Texas Instruments (NYSE:TXN), Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL), BHP Billiton (NYSE:BHP), Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM), Daimler (OTCPK:DDAIF), Honda (NYSE:HMC), Rio Tinto (OTCPK:RTPPF) Honeywell (NYSE:HON), Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU), Micron (NASDAQ:MU), General Motors (NYSE:GM), Ford (NYSE:F) and Volkswagen (OTCPK:VLKAY). BMW (OTCPK:BMWYY) and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) are both further down the list of components of the index. A couple of other notable components are Cree (NASDAQ:CREE), Albemarle (NYSE:ALB) and Alcoa (NYSE:AA)
The Innovation Shares NextGen Vehicles & Technology ETF (EKAR) launched in February and has $2.5 million in assets under management. It charges 0.65%. the KraneShares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility Index ETF (KARS) launched in January 2018 with an expense ratio of 0.69%. It has $27.3 million in assets. It ties to Solactive Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility Index. The selection rules are detailed in its methodology guide. In short, companies classified in any of the following four sub-industries ('Fuel Cell Equipment and Technology Providers', 'Heavy-Duty and High-End Batteries Manufacturing', 'Video Multimedia Semiconductors' and 'General Analog and Mixed Signal Semiconductors') are in general eligible for inclusion in the final index composition. The caveat in their methodology is that they have to hard-wire the following three companies: Albermale Corporation (ISIN: US0126531013, RIC: ALB.N), FMC Corporation (ISIN: US3024913036, RIC: FMC.N) and Quimica Y Minera Chil-SP ADR (ISIN: US8336351056, RIC: SQM.N). As a result, they claim the index includes electric vehicle production, autonomous driving, shared mobility, lithium and/or copper production, lithium-ion/lead acid batteries, hydrogen fuel cell manufacturing, or electric infrastructure.
DRIV, EKAR uses artificial intelligence and natural language processing to pinpoint companies involved in the targeted industry.
XKST, launched by State Street at the end of 2017, tied to Kensho – now part of S&P – Kensho Smart Transportation Index. According to its website, the index is constructed based on "an entirely rules-based methodology to objectively uncover companies involved in the Smart Transportation 21st Century Sector℠, and is comprised of those companies in the Kensho® Autonomous Vehicles℠ Index (KCARS), the civilian/commercially focused components of the Kensho® Drones℠ Index (KDRONE), and the Kensho® Advanced Transport Systems℠ Index (KATS). Only those companies with a market capitalization of $100mm and a 3 month average daily traded value (ADTV) of $1mm as of the most recent index selection date are eligible to be included in the index." The top components are: NVDA NVIDIA Corporation 5.6% CAR Avis Budget Group, Inc. 5.5%ALV Autoliv, Inc. 5.5%SIRI Sirius XM Holdings Inc. 5.2%FTV Fortive Corporation 4.8%WBC WABCO Holdings Inc. 4.3%VC Visteon Corporation 4.1%TRMB Trimble Inc. 4.1%APTV Aptiv PLC 3.9%FCAU FIAT CYLR.AUTOS. (NYS).
It asks a reasonable expense ratio of 0.45% but only has accumulated $4.5 Million since, far less than that of KARS, which was issued to the market later and by a much smaller player-Kranshares, moreover, XKST's fee is 0.69%, 25bps higher than XKST's. I view it is due to an inborn flaw in the Kensho's methodology purely based on natural language processing. Excepting Nvidia, names like Avis, Fortive, Vesteon… don't fit into the fundamental concept of EV at all.

A. Objective:
A. Objective:
To investigate the validity of Bernoulli's Theorem as applied to the flow of water in a tapering circular duct.
B. Theory:
Considering flow at two sections in a pipe, Bernoulli's equation may be written as
For this apparatus z1=z2 and p=r.g.h so, one can write
is the Velocity head
h1is the Static head. H is the Total Head and can be defined as
Hence, if Bernoulli's Theorem is obeyed, the Total Head is constant at all sections along the duct.
C. Equipment:
This experiment can be performed by using the service module and the Bernoulli apparatus in our laboratory
a)Hydraulic Bench Service Module
The Hydraulic Bench Service Module is shown in Figure 1. Parts of thc Bench arc numbered in this figure. Operation of the Hydraulic Bench is explained below;
Figure 1
A self-priming centrifugal pump, 1N, draws water from sump tank, 1G, and delivers into a vertical transparent pipe, 1M. A panel mounted control valve, 1 C, is used to regulate the flow in the pipe which terminates in a quick release pipe connector, 1o, allows for rapid substitution of accessories which are supplied with a flexible supply tube terminating a mating connector. Special purpose terminations may be connected to the pump supply by unscrewing connector, 1o.
Water discharging from the accessory on test is collected in a volumetric measuring tank, 1 U. This tank is stepped to accommodate low or high flow rates and incorporates a stilling baffle, 1 S, to reduce turbulence. A remote sight tube and scale, 1 A, ia connected to a tapping, 1T, in the base of the volumetric tank and gives an instantaneous indication of water level.
A dump valve, 1V, in the base of the volumetric tank is operated by a remote actuator, 1E. Lifting the actuator opens
the dump valve allowing the entrained water to return to the sump, 1G, for recycling. When lifted, a twist of 90° at the actuator will retain the
b) Bernoulli's Theorem Demonstration Apparatus
Bernoulli's Theorem Demonstration Apparatus is shown in Figure 2. Parts of the Apparatus are numbered in this figure. Operation of the Apparatus is explained below;
The test section, 6A, is an accurately machined Perspex duct of varying circular cross section provided with pressure tapings where by the static pressures may he measured simultaneously at each of 6 sections. The test section in corporate unions, 6C, at either end to facilitate reversal for convergent or divergent testing.
A hypodermic probe, 6F, is provided which may be positioned to read the total head at any section of the duct. The probe may be moved after
Figure 2
slackening tile gland nut, 6G; this nut should bc re-tightened by hand. To prevent damage, the probe should be fully inserted during transport/storage. An additional tapping, 6L, is provided to facilitate setting up. All eight pressure tapping are connected to a bank of pressurized manometer lubes. Pressurization of the manometers is facilitated by removing the hand pump, 6M, from its storage location at the rear of the manometer board and connecting its flexible coupling to the inlet valve, 6E, on the manometer manifold.
In use, the apparatus, mounted on base board, 6I, is stood on the work surface of the bench and feet, 6 H, adjusted to level tile apparatus.
Inlet pipe, 6B, terminates in a female coupling which may be connected directly to the bench supply, 10. A flexible hose attached to the outlet pipe, 61, is directed to the volumetric measuring tank, I U.
A flow control valve, 6K, is incorporated downstream of the test section. Flow rate and pressure in the apparatus may be varied independently by adjustment of the flow control valve, 6K, and the bench supply control valve, 1 C.
D. Procedure:
a) Connect the apparatus to the bench, having injected a small quantity of wetting agent into tile test section. Ensure that the test section is oriented with the duct converging in the direction of flow. If it is necessary to reverse the test section, total head probe 6F should be withdrawn before releasing couplings 6C. The apparatus should be leveled by adjusting feet 6H.
b) Close control valve, I C, and switch on the pump by operating the starter, I D. Open valve 6K slightly and then carefully open valve IC to fill the apparatus manometer tubes with water. The manometer tubes should be allowed to fill to discharge all pockets of air from the system. Ensure that all connecting pipes are free from air. Manometer bank 6D is fitted with a Schrader valve, 6E, to enable levels to be raised or lowered as required. In the latter case, hand pump 6M is connected to the valve to raise the air pressure above the liquid columns.
c) Carefully open the two valves and adjust them to provide that combination of flow rate and system pressure which will give the largest convenient difference between the highest and lowest manometer levels. Note the scale reading of each manometer level. Take at least three sets of readings of volume and time to find the flow rate using volumetric tank, 1V.
d) Insert the total head probe as far as the end of the parallel portion of the duct and then advance it into the tapered portion 1cm at a time. For each position of the probe tip. note the distance from the end of the parallel portion and record the scale reading of its manometer level.
e) Repeat c and d for different combinations of valve openings to give high and low fl0w rates at both high and low static pressures.
f) Close the valve, I C, allow the apparatus to drain, and withdraw the total head probe, 6F, to the end of its travel. Undo the couplings, 6C, reverse the test section, 6A, and replace the couplings. Repeat b, c, d and e.
E. Pre-Lab:
After reviewing the laboratory description and procedure, develop a data sheet on which record the required data. Bring this data table to the lab when you perform this experiment.
F. Data Analysis and Reporting Requirements
Set out, in tabular form where appropriate, aft the readings from the above procedures.
Calculations: For each of the valve settings, determine the fluid velocity at each tapping position from the volume flow rate and duct cross section.
Measured Total Head
Velocity Head(mm/ss)
Theoretical Total Head(mmss)

Trading CFDs involves significant risk of loss
McDonalds, MCD, was founded in 1940 in California. The McDonald brothers sold the chain to Ray Kroc in 1955, in the early 2018 the original headquarters moved from Illinois to Chicago. The McDonald's Corporation revenues come from the rent, royalties, and fees paid by the franchisees, as well as sales in company-operated restaurants. According to two reports published in 2018, McDonald's is the world's second-largest private employer with 1.7 million employees behind Walmart with 2. 3 million employees.In the last 5 years, McDonalds has seen an increase of 100% in their share price. Currently trading at $202. 8 it is reaching record highs (the highest price it traded so far, was 205.48 in 7th of June 2019. The lowest (except the years after its launch) was $13. 58 in February 2003.
1. Even though McDonalds was involved in a number of lawsuits and other legal cases, most of which involved trademark disputes it has finally lost power over the Big Mac burrger's trademark in the European Union. After the company has threatened many food business with legal action until they dropped the MC or Mac from trading names, McDonalds is now defenseless in the EU. This is due to "trademark bullying", as an Irish restaurant chain was unfairly sued against using the trademark. 2. If McDonalds wants to keep growing, the fast-food chain needs, without question, premium menu items, but it can't price them outside the range of what people expect value menus to offer or much higher than the competition does, as it will simply drive customers to its rivals.

Bruins and Coyotes settle with arbitration players
The 2014 NHL salary arbitration is starting to look like 2013, with everyone in a rush to settle early.
Though there are some complicated cases that could result in hearings, two more teams and players reached deals before hearings begin next week.
The Boston Bruins and defenseman Matt Bartkowski agreed on a one-year, $1.25 million contract, avoiding a July 30 arbitration hearing.
Also, the Arizona Coyotes reached a one-year, $625,000 deal with center Brandon McMillan. His hearing had been scheduled for July 29.
They are the third and fourth players who filed for arbitration to have settled beforehand, joining the Nashville Predators' Mattias Ekholm and the Dallas Stars' Cameron Gaunce. Twenty players have filed this summer, plus three teams filed to take their players to arbitration.
Bartkowski, 26, made $650,000 last season, when he had zero goals and 18 assists in 64 assists in his first full NHL season. He averaged 19 minutes, 32 seconds a game, and his ice time picked up after Dennis Seidenberg's injury in late December.
He can become an unrestricted free agent next summer.
The Bruins, who are pressed against the salary cap but will get cap relief from Marc Savard's long-term injury (concussion), still have to sign restricted free agent defenseman Torey Krug and forwards Reilly Smith and Jordan Caron.
McMillan's NHL salary last season was $709,500, but his new deal includes a $35,000 raise in his American Hockey League salary, according to capgeek.com. The 24-year-old didn't get recalled until after the Olympics and had two goals and four assists in 22 Coyotes games.
Last year, all 21 players who filed for salary arbitration settled beforehand. This year is more complicated because the Colorado Avalanche took Ryan O'Reilly to arbitration, as did the St. Louis Blues with Vladimir Sobotka.
Sobotka has signed a three-year deal in the Kontinental Hockey League and Blues GM Doug Armstrong said last week that he planned to go ahead with the hearing because it would determine the salary that Sobotka plays under when he returns from Russia.
Also Monday
The Minnesota Wild signed center Jordan Schroeder to a two-year, $1.2 million contract. The former University of Minnesota player spent the past two seasons with Vancouver Canucks but didn't get a qualifying offer and became an unrestricted free agent. .... The Florida Panthers and defenseman Dylan Olsen agreed to a two-year contract. ... The Los Angeles Kings gave a two-year, $1.3 million contract to defenseman Brayden McNabb, whom they acquired at the trade deadline. ... Canucks forward Linden Vey, acquired from the Kings at the draft, got a one-year, $735,000 deal. ... The New York Islanders re-signed defenseman Matt Donovan for one year at $826,875.

More Resigns, May 16, 1532
Less than a month after his resignation, More wrote a letter to Erasmus, explaining why he had resigned:
The thing which I have wished for from a boy, dear Desiderius, which I rejoice in your having ever enjoyed, and myself occasionally,—namely, that being free from public business, I might have some time to devote to God and myself,—that, by the grace of a great and good God, and by the favour of an indulgent prince, I have at last obtained.
I have not, however, obtained it as I wished. For I wished to reach that last stage of my life in a state, which, though suitable to my age, might yet enable me to enjoy my remaining years healthy and unbroken, free from disease and pain. But it remaineth in the hand of God, whether this wish, perhaps unreasonable, shall be accomplished. Meantime a disorder of I know not what nature hath attacked my breast, by which I suffer less in present pain than in fear of the consequence. For when it had plagued me without abatement some months, the physicians whom I consulted gave their opinion, that the long continuance of it was dangerous, and the speedy cure impossible; but that it must be cured by the gradual alterative effects of time, proper diet and medicine. Neither could they fix the period of my recovery, or ensure me a complete cure at last.
More told Erasmus to ignore reports that he had left his office unwilling. He looked forward to studying, writing, and praying without having to steal hours from sleep. More continued to write apologetic works, according to this list of works from the Center For Thomas More Studies:
Dec., 1532; publ. Dec., 1533 "Letter against Frith"
Spring 1533 Confutation of Tyndale IV-VIII
April 1533 The Apology of Sir Thomas More
October 1533 The Debellation of Salem and Bizance

Linkedin Automation – How to Automate and Scale A Startup Founder Profile Growth
So you're a startup founder. But if you haven't got the chance to build yourself a good Linkedin profile so far, you might feel that you lack connections to people that might help you progress.
Your Linkedin profile is your most important business card as a startup founder. You never know who might be checking you each moment, but you must look 100% legit and trustworthy every single minute.
Great Content Isn't Enough
However, even if you invested time to create some kick-ass content optimization on your profile, and you got all your previous work experience and projects presented in the best way, you still have to grow your contacts base.
Nothing's going to happen if you leave it as is with tens or maybe couple of hundreds of connections. If you want to take advantage of Linkedin, your goal should be to connect to at least 5,000 relevant people. You have to connect with other founders, investors, experts and thought leaders in your field.
Linkedin is a social network, and there is a huge advantage for people who are already well connected. To start from the bottom is never easy, but there is no other way if you want to reach the right people and possibly to have the right people reaching out to you.
To make it happen, you have to expand your network, connect with relevant people, and sell yourself as an entrepreneur.
How to Automate Your Network's Growth
Fortunately, there is a way to automate your Linkedin profile growth via automation software.
It means that you can save a significant amount of time by automating connection requests messages.
And also other processes such as inviting your connection to a Linkedin group or even sending emails to your contacts.
I use a tool called Linked Helper that helps me with two major issues:
1 – Manage lists of prospects:
Which is creating lists of prospects that I'd like to connect with. What great about Linkedin Helper is that it copies all the data from searches that you conduct.
For example, let's say I want to collect a list of all the VCs partners in the US.
So I go and search Linkedin where I choose an industry (finance), a keyword (VC, or venture capital), and a position/title (partner). Linked Helper will copy that list, save it for any use I might have for it in the future.
2 – Automating the connection requests sending for each list
Just like with email automation, Linked Helper allows me to write a template message and use dynamic placeholders for first name, company name, etc.
After preparing my connection request message, it can automatically send the requests to the prospect I have on the list that I build before.
And after that, people will start approving them. Not everybody will, but at least 50% will choose to connect with you.
The chances of approval rise if your profile looks legit, and if you have mutual connections with the prospect (meaning that it's a 2nd-degree connection).
However, this is only the first step.
Engage, Provide Value, and Be Helpful
You also want to do something after your requests have been approved.
The best thing you can do is immediately provide value. What I usually do is I send a message where I offer my help in my fields of expertise, and invite my new connections to join my Linkedin community.
My Linkedin community is a Linkedin group where I share many hacks & tips for startup marketing, and it's also a place where people can ask questions and get answers from professionals like myself.
(btw, I also run a Facebook group for startups, you should check it out)
Another thing that you can do is share helpful content. So, for instance, let's say that your company has conducted in-depth research in your field, and its findings can help your prospects improve their business performance.
In this case, you can send this research you your newly added connections as a kind of a welcome message.
Linked Helper helps you automate this process. You have to pick a specific list of the ones you built earlier, and the tool will run every few hours in the background, and send this message to newly added connections from that list.
Segment Your Audience to Stay Authentic
By segmenting your lists, and your content that you share you will increase the chances to have meaningful engagements with relevant prospects.
For example, I work with lots of travel-tech startups. So I'm always trying to expand my hotelier's network.
Therefore each time that I'm sending connection requests to hoteliers, I have a custom message that goes like this:
I follow up with the people who approved my connection request by using content that is dedicated to hoteliers.
On the other hand, here is the funnel that I use when I'm connecting with tech entrepreneurs and startup founders.
I use the same skeleton but modify the content so it would appear more relevant to this kind of prospects.
Connection request message:
Welcome message to newly added connections:
Be Careful and Don't Overuse These Tools
Now, if you're planning to use automation tools such as Linked Helper, you should always remember that Linkedin doesn't recommend 3rd party tools that automate the process on their platform.
By using such tools you risk with being banned from Linkedin.
When I automate some of my activities, I only do it for tasks that I would have done manually anyway.
For example, I will just connect with relevant people and will send no more than 50 requests or messages per day.
If you want to read more on that subject, here are some recommended links:
No matter what, do not pass these limits and even set up more strictly limits for yourself: https://medium.com/linked-helper/what-kind-of-limits-should-i-use-88df661c6cf0
What To Do Next To Grow Your Linkedin Profile
Most of the things here are just a matter of copy and paste.
I'd say that the hardest part is simply beginning doing it.
Many people, even in the startups/tech world are reluctant to try social automation tools.
That's a shame, because of these work. It doesn't mean your not authentic; it means that you are aware that the online world moves fast, and you're doing your best to catch up because staying behind isn't an option for people with goals.
Having said that, you should remember that there is no substitution to real face-to-face connections.
Make sure you meet with at least one new person in your area each month.
This is the right way to network offline, but when you're online, you should everything that you can that might help you scale.
That's it for now,
Cheers 🙂

Model Claudia Schiffer launches fashion line
on Thursday,July 07,2011 00:07
The German supermodel Claudia Schiffer announced that she will be designing her own fashion line. She announced the launch of the new collection at the Haute Couture fashion week in Paris, according to Reuters.
The 40-year-old model explained that she has been thinking about fashion design for a long time. She is focusing on what she likes to wear as a mom, which is cashmere sweaters and dresses. She has three children with film director and husband Michael Vaughn, according to the media outlet.
"I am always very busy, I have a family life... I want to wear the same outfit when I bring my children to school and then go to work with it and in the evening I want to be able to just change accessories," Schiffer told the news source.
More than 50 stores worldwide have already purchased the sweaters in her clothing line, the news provider reports.
According to MSNBC, Schiffer has been on the cover of more than 500 magazines, and featured in adds for Yves Saint Laurent, Salvatore Ferragamo, L'Oreal make-up and Chanel.

Chiropractic Success Story
Steve Lemieux-JordanMy name is Steve Lemieux-Jordan. About 6 years ago, I injured my spine, which resulted in three herniated discs in my lower back. The injury was due to the fact that I had, inadvertently, tipped my 450 lb. motorcycle over. Without thinking, I grabbed the bike and hauled it upright again. Over the next few hours the pain in my back grew and by morning it was excruciating. By the end of the week, I was suffering from sciatica to the point of having to walk with a cane. This continued for weeks, with several visits to "regular" doctors who treated me in all sorts of ways, none of which alleviated the sciatica. Then one fateful day, I walked (make that hobbled) into the office of Doc B. Within 6 weeks, I was able to walk without the cane. Within another month or so I was virtually pain free and was even able to carry my daughter on my shoulders!
Fast forward to about three weeks ago. Different motorcycle, same dimwitted moment of lost concentration and the bike tips over. Once again, I compound my injury by grabbing the 500 lb. bike and hauling it upright again. Within minutes I could feel that familiar pain in my lower back. This time, however, I wasted no time and visited our favorite chiropractic office. Dr. Ashlin was able to relieve the majority of the pain and advised me to rest and ice my back. Once again I came into the office twice a day and could feel the benefits and had no pain within a week. Now, after using the "Wobbly-Chair" in the office and stretching with one of those big balls at home, I am happy to report that I am once again 99.999999% pain free!
As we go through life we are presented with lessons, that we either learn from or not. Over time, we are presented with the same lessons, until we do learn. The lessons I have learned over the last couple of weeks are 1) Do not, for one second, lose concentration when operating my motorcycle, and 2) Chiropractic care is probably the most effective form of treatment ever devised.

Heaps has the resume, fresh off MVP honors at the Elite 11 camp in Southern California, a national honor. But it's his p.r. skills that are inarguably in orbit. As a wordsmith, he's fresh, smart and poised. He's as smooth as a Madison Avenue suit, one of the best quarterback quotes I've encountered since Steve Young.
He's had so many media interviews the past two years, the family asked a professional to help organize the load.

Things You Refrigerate
The other day Mike and I somehow ended up talking about the things we did or didn't refrigerate at home.
We both thought the other was crazy on at least a few points. Here is what I remember of the list we discussed, and whether or not it's in my fridge:
Bread: No

Peanut Butter: No(***)
(*) There are exceptions. Apples are almost always in the fridge. Oranges bought in bulk for juice tend to sit on the counter. Oranges for eating tend to go in the fridge.(****)
(**) I checked and the mustard says "refrigerate after opening" so I guess there really isn't an option - that is, if you don't want it going bad.
(***) Except the fancy schmancy kind we've been getting at Trader Joe's. I don't like it. Cold peanut butter tears the bread something fierce.

- A2i Base Module – three (3) base modules with 2 feeders each for a six station system
- Enclosure Feeders:
- BBH250S-6 Inserting Module – inserting module that supports "letters" envelope applications
- On-Edge Envelope Conveyor – This conveyor retains envelopes in a vertical (on-edge) orientation versus a flat-shingled orientation. This allows the system to retain more envelopes, reducing the number of times that the operator has to sweep (off-load) the conveyor thereby increasing operator efficiency.
- Envelope Auto-loader – This module is used to feed the hopper of the envelope feeder to increase the capacity of the envelopes loaded in the system also increasing operator efficiency

Categorised in: Direct Mail
We have previously touched on direct mail fulfilment, but it's becoming ever more pressing as direct mailing becomes a popular marketing medium. The GDPR has only served to enhance the popularity of the marketing channel – particularly with fewer unknowns with traditional mailing. While your message and design are critical to appealing to your consumers, you must also consider mail fulfilment. If you want your prospects to open your campaign, it's got to look darn good for them to do that…
Direct mail fulfilment: the basics
Marketing campaign fulfilment is of major importance when working with a mailing house. Direct mail fulfilment refers to a key stage in the production of your campaign – preparing your marketing message for delivery. Essentially, a fulfilment house will take your campaign and convert the design into mailing items.
Between that first idea, and the final step to engaging with the customer – marketing campaign fulfilment can encourage responses and boost ROI. There are many different steps, outlined below, but all are designed to ensure the mailing process is smooth and effective.
What can be fulfilled?
When it comes to direct mail fulfilment, a variety of mailing types are included. A fulfilment house can fulfil brochures, catalogues, letters and magazines, using various envelopes and even polywrapping to further encourage responses. However, when reaching out to a mailing house regarding direct mail fulfilment services – you must have an understanding of your target audience. Are you reaching out to high-value consumers? If so, a luxe-style campaign will boost responses, particularly if they believe a lot of time and effort has gone into creating the unique piece.
Preparing for mail fulfilment
Your mailing house will ensure your campaign is ready for direct mail fulfilment, but there are several things you can do to help.
Clean data
Before contacting a mailing house or several direct mail companies regarding your campaign objectives, ensure your prospect data is clean and accurate. Doing so avoids any potential costs that can arise from targeting houses where your prospects no longer live or even data duplication. If your data is up-to-date, the mailing companies can place the addressee information directly onto the campaign via variable data printing.
Similarly, discuss the required materials for the campaign and the end goal of the design. Doing so will enable the mailing house to ensure availability for the particular envelope, polywrapping etc.
The different stages
All mailing companies will have various steps in place for marketing campaign fulfilment, but the procedure may vary depending on the project and the particular requirements. For instance, transactional mail is likely to have fewer steps than dimensional mail boasting various printing finishes. However, common parts of the mail fulfilment process include:
If you would like to discuss our direct mail fulfilment services, you can get in touch with our team today. Alternatively, you can find more information on our mailing house offering.

13 Climate Justice Leaders Imagined as Comic Superheroes
The Earth could use some climate-change-fighting superheroes right about now. And according to a new comic series by the nonprofit Amplifier, there are a few real-life ones in our midst.
Thirteen of them, actually.
Why Pipeline Opponents Cheered Monday's Keystone XL Approval
Yes, it's true that the Nebraska Public Service Commission voted Monday to approve the long-gestating Keystone XL (KXL) tar sands pipeline. But don't score it as a win for TransCanada—or as a "boost for Trump"—just yet.
That's because the commission approved the "mainline alternative route," and that's not the route that the pipeline operator wants.
EcoWatch Daily Newsletter
The Nebraska Public Service Commission (NPSC)—the Republican-dominated state board deciding the fate of TransCanada's long-delayed Keystone XL pipeline—have barred experts and homeowners from testifying over potential spills or whether the tar sands pipeline is even necessary during final hearings next week.
The Omaha World-Herald reports that former Lancaster County District Judge Karen Flowers, who was hired by NPSC to conduct the hearings, issued more than 30 rulings based on objections filed by TransCanada.
Meet Jane Kleeb: Nebraska's Boldest Keystone XL Pipeline Fighter
By Nicole Greenfield
In the red state of Nebraska, people know Jane Kleeb for her politics.
She's a progressive Democrat in a land of Trump voters, after all. But people also know the 44-year-old Kleeb, a Florida native who moved to Nebraska in 2007 after marrying into a family of local homesteaders, as someone who can bridge the political divide and unify the most unlikely of groups.

I am a parent! My voice is the weapon of choice in which I use to raise awareness that I do not speak alone. I work to assure that my voice is present at every change making table that impacts the lives of children in and around Detroit. I build relationships with the intent of bridging gaps that prevent underserved students from gaining access to supports, resources and education outcome they need to succeed. Again, I am a parent and I have found a part of my passion.
Favorite MLK quote:
"Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak."
Why is this my favorite:
This speech that this quote is from explained how King faced some hard realities about the war on poverty. While he spoke about Vietnam, his message was clear that the war was a tool used to kill off our young black men. All while fighting alongside white boys who were not deemed their equal at home. His choice to speak out about it cost him support from people who had pegged him as their go-to man for people of color. You know, their sort of 'house nigga'. He declared that his eyes were opened and the government's war against Vietnam was a slap in the face to the very people he was teaching to be nonviolent.
When did this quote come to life for you?
This quote came to life for me when sitting in rooms with the board at my former job. And they were clear that accountability was not their priority and not where funders wanted their money to go. Detroit has some enemies (The Betsy DeVoses) but we also have a few who look just like us. It's about money and the Black Who's Who. They don't have what's best for families in mind.
