I've had sick kids this week. They are pretty much healed now, but I'm still trying to fight it off. I've been gargling Listerine for five days now in the hopes that the slight symptoms I have will go away and kill the cold.
Lots of good news this week! I lost 3.4 lbs! It made me really happy to see that number on the scale this week and know that my hard work was worth it. I went crazy last week, trying to get down. I have 20 lbs left to lose all the Lincoln weight plus an extra six pounds beyond that. That will put me lower than I was when I got married, almost to where I was when I met Dovy. That makes me super happy. And after plugging through 25 lbs already, I really feel that I can do this other 20. Go, me!
I've started making pies for Pie Palooza. (After we talk about weight loss, of course, right?) We are super stoked for it this year! February 20th, 6-9PM, our place. Please come! Bring your families and your friends. There will be plenty for everyone, and I don't want anymore left over after we're finished. I can't have the extras so that I can get back to this weight loss. Thanks for your help. Haha.
Anjali quote of the week. Are you ready?
Me: Anjali, why are you so grumpy?
A: I'm not Grumpy. I'm angry like Ursula the Sea Witch!
I think she was referring to "Grumpy" the dwarf. She cracks me up.
I also taught the girls how to spell Mom. "M-O-M." To which Elli howled out, "O-M-O! That spells Mommy!"
One other big piece of news: a deal with London has become a (99%) done deal. They are drafting up the agreements and we are really hoping that all goes well. This means that we have to get Dovy a passport and he will go to London for a few weeks. I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. I'll probably end up staying here with the kids. There will be more time for that later, when the kids are older and it's cost-effective. (Which, in general, isn't anyway.) We also got a long-awaited check! And were paid for the month of February, so we're feeling like we'll make it.
I hope you enjoy Anjali's dance videos. They will melt your heart!
Funny story about this first video. When I went to get Anjali after she was finished, her teacher was cracking up while trying to tell me that Anjali had to go to the bathroom between numbers. She ran in there and came back with her hat and gloves sopping wet. Water was just dripping down her back. Apparently, she had taken off the hat and gloves and dropped them in a sink full of water. Ha! She performed with soaked gloves and hat, and I didn't even know it.
Also, this first dance was a little rougher than the second, but she was having so much fun. I especially loved her bow at the end!

|GABF Instant Sellout
|Powdered Beer
|Now you can crack open an iced cold brew
just about anywhere without lugging around a
heavy six pack. Pat's Backcountry Beverages,
a brewing company in Alaska, has created a
just-add-water beer concentrate using a
lightweight carbonation system.
Each pocket-sized beer packet makes a single
16 oz. pint by adding water to a bottle-shaped
carbonation system that contains a
compartment for Pat's Eco2Activator powder
mix — potassium bicarbonate and citric acid
— to produce CO2 bubbles that transform the
brew from flat to bubbly. A four pack will
cost around $9.95. According to the company'
s website, the concentrate isn't made by
brewing the beer and then removing water
afterwards. "Instead, our process allows us to
start with almost no water, and control the
environment of the fermanation. Ouf beer is
made from "barley, water, hops and yeast."
|If you were thinking about going to the Great American
Beer Festival, think again. All 49,000 tickets for all
sessions sold out immediately when the site opened
There supposedly was a limit of 4 tickets per session per
ticket buyer for the General Sessions. For the Members
Only Session, the ticket limit is 2 tickets per member.
But tickets are still available. Huge blocks of tickets
were purchased by scalpers and are already showing up
on ticket-scam sources like Craigslist and StubHub.
And there will be people hawking tickets on the
street in Denver the day of the event.
Face value for the public session ticket is $75, current
price in secondary market ranges from $450 to $225
Ten years ago, 334 breweries served 1,454 beers at
GABF. This year, we'll see nearly double that number of
breweries—with 616 pouring in the festival hall (as of
July 30)—and more than 3,000 beers to choose from.
Russia Bans Beer (almost)
The world's top brewers once bet big on Russia's famous love of drinking,
investing hundreds of millions of dollars there. But now the Kremlin's
campaign against alcoholism has sapped the life out of the party. Big
Western beer companies like Carlsberg, SABMiller and Anheuser-Busch
InBev say the pace of the new regulations and tax increases has stung
deeply. Across the industry, sales have fizzled 20% by volume in Russia
since 2010 as per capita consumption slipped 13% due to rising prices.
This free fall was a sharp turnaround from the underregulated heyday of the
mid-2000s when Russia didn't even classify beer as an alcoholic beverage.
Between 2005 and 2007, sales shot up nearly 30%, and it was common see
Russians walking around drinking a bottle of beer at 10 AM. Pre--2008
there was very little regulation. You didn't need a license to sell beer, duties
were low and there were no limits on marketing. It was often cheaper than
soda, In 2009, the Russian government declared war on alcoholism.
In 2011, a new law classified beer as an alcoholic beverage, placing it under
tighter controls. Before that, any drink with less than 10% alcohol content
was considered a foodstuff. The law also prohibited late-night beer sales
and banned beer advertising along with kiosk sales.
But the real hit has been a steady rise in excise duties. In 2009, the
government charged just three rubles (nine U.S. cents) a liter of beer. In
2013, it shot up to 15 rubles a liter and will increase to 18 rubles in 2014
and to 20 rubles in 2015. That has led to a 10% jump in retail prices and a
huge decline in sales. Vodka was also effected as its tax increased 33% this
year, with a 25% increase coming in 2014 and an additional 20% in
2015.All this has led to a 28% decline in vodka production in the first half
of 2013

Northern Alberta county grapples with natural gas shortage
Steady growth outstripping natural gas capacity in Mackenzie County communities, county officials say
When families in the remote northern Alberta communities of Mackenzie County build homes, many insist on wood stoves and propane tanks.
Steady population growth over the past decade is outstripping the capacity of the natural gas system to heat homes and businesses, and the shortage has become so severe county officials are considering bylaws to prevent new buildings from connecting to the grid.
To solve the problem, Mackenzie County is calling for a new pipeline to connect another source of natural gas to its system.
"It's not reasonable and we really need to see this happening very soon because otherwise we're not going to continue to grow," said Reeve Peter Braun.
The project is estimated to cost $45 million. A new 65-kilometre pipeline would connect the existing grid to the Wolverine meter station, a natural gas source south of the Mackenzie County hamlet of La Crete.
Northern Lights Gas Co-op, the not-for-profit distributor that supplies the affected area, owns the grid that connects homes, businesses, schools and health centres to natural gas.
The grid includes communities such as La Crete, Buffalo Head Prairie, Paddle Prairie, Keg River and Carcajou. People in those communities faced a state of emergency last winter triggered by outages during a –40 C cold snap.
- Northern Alberta county under state of emergency due to natural gas disruption
- State of emergency continues in Mackenzie County, gripped by extreme cold and natural gas disruptions
- Natural gas restored in northwestern Alberta community, more outages feared
"Heat in the home is, in our mind, an essential service," John Klassen, vice-chair of the gas co-op, told CBC News. "These projects are large dollar-value projects which a small co-op like ours just can't seem to handle on its own."
Klassen said the co-op is saving for the new pipeline by charging each user an additional $20-per-month fee, and levying a small tax on every kilojoule of natural gas used.
Klassen estimated it will take his company 10 years to save enough money for the proposed pipeline, by which time he said its price tag may have increased.
'It's not a frivolous thing'
Census data shows the county's population has nearly doubled over the past two decades, surpassing 11,000 in 2016.
Northern Lights Gas Co-op connects an average of 73 new homes to its grid every year.
Waiting a decade for a pipeline crucial to growth and development in northwest Alberta is unacceptable, said Mackenzie County's chief administrative officer Lenard Racher.
The county is now advocating for provincial funding on behalf of the gas co-op, asking the Alberta government to help pay for the project.
"We're not naive, we know that every community has challenges but we're fighting for our little piece of the pie," Racher said. "If we get this pipeline built here, we're destined to succeed, but without it we're destined to fail."
Mackenzie County wants the province to cover half the pipeline's $45-million cost with a grant and the other half with a low-interest loan.
"It's not a frivolous thing," Racher said. "If we don't act now, we will be in trouble in two to three years. That is an absolute given."
Agriculture and Forestry Minister Oneil Carlier said he is aware of the natural gas shortage and has had conversations with Mackenzie County officials about short-term and long-term solutions.
"It's a challenge, but the opportunity also is quite great for that area," Carlier told CBC News.
Carlier said he outlined several options in a May 4 teleconference with Racher and Braun, including federal and provincial grant programs, low-interest loans, and investments from agriculture and financial services corporations.
He added the province is focusing on short-term solutions that will ease the shortage for another five to 10 years, before committing to long-term projects such as a new pipeline.
"In that time we'll have an opportunity to continue looking for solutions," Carlier said. "We've got some breathing room in order to do so, but I'm always looking forward to ensure that we can do what we can do."
Industry stagnating
Mackenzie County will likely be passed over for industry opportunities until it can solve its natural gas shortage, said deputy chief administrative officer Byron Peters, who handles the county's economic development projects.
"A bunch of other rural regions are fighting more for improved broadband internet and so forth — we're looking for some of the more fundamentals still, at this point," Peters said.
"That really hampers economic development, especially the ability to attract some of the bigger types of industry."
Peters said he has been forced to turn down business proposals because there is not enough natural gas to support the demands of major development.
Jobs will become scarce as the population continues to boom without a proportional growth in industry, Peters said.
"If the community stagnates it will shrink," Peters said. "If you hamper the growth of rural communities there's a lot of incentive to move to the city.
"If it comes to the point where you're not confident that your house is going to stay warm, some of those pretty fundamental things, it's pretty easy for people to say why would I live here? Why am I committed to this area? Let's go where it's easy."
Population keeps growing
A study released by the county in 2011 concluded communities connected to the maxed-out natural gas grid will continue to grow.
For instance, the number of people living in the hamlet of La Crete and on its surrounding farmland showed an annual growth of nearly six per cent from 1981 to 2011.
The population in 2011 was 2,400. Based on the average annual rate of growth, the population was predicted to increase by about 1,400 over 20 years, hitting 3,800 by 2031.
Braun said the county wants to keep those people in northwest Alberta.
"If we can't get the support from our provincial government to move this ahead, our young people are going to start moving away because we can't attract any economic development," he said.
"They need to make a living and so they'll start moving away and spread out and then our growth would be slowed down extremely."
Northern Lights Gas Co-op is adding two compressors to its grid to increase pressure in the system, which will boost capacity.
The compressors, which are scheduled to be running by the end of the year, are meant to prevent life-threatening outages during northern Alberta's bitterly cold winters, Braun said.
"That will buy us a couple of years of heat so we don't get into these problems again when it gets cold," he said.
But the compressors are a short-term fix, Braun added. By the mid 2020s, Mackenzie County will again face a severe natural gas shortage if it does not find a long-term solution in the meantime.
"Now's the time to work on that gas line to come in and loop the system because it will be three to five years to get it built and by that time we're going to be in real trouble again," Braun said.
"Real trouble means no heat when it turns to –40 in January."

The planning and selling of tours / itenararies by the safaris in Tanzania are usually done 2 calendar years ahead. Thus, the details of it are already considered as fixed and cannot be adjusted such as the number of days on safari, hotel and lodge choices, meals and other details. What is left for the traveller to decide is up to only the safari start date of the travel or adventure. Another choice is if you go for group or private safaris in Tanzania.
Group Safaris in Tanzania
As expected, group safaris are less expensive than the private ones because of the wholesale deals, hotel group discounts and regular schedule reservations. If this option is selected, the process involves first selecting a safari operator and an itinerary. An email then is needed to be sent to the operators for a total costs requests. Sometimes, group safaris in Tanzania can be changed into a private involving a small additional fee. The cost differences would be on the type of accommodation and alternate park routes.
Private Safaris in Tanzania
The best thing about private safaris is its customized itinerary modified according to the participant's interests and choices unlike from what is mentioned earlier. It includes a safari guide and 4WD vehicle for personal and exclusive use. 1 passenger or 2 can already avail this one.
The big advantage of private safaris in Tanzania is one is not depending on a rigid time schedule. Such is perfect for a novice explorer as it gives them solitude and freedom and away from problems such as "worrying of taken / available seats".

In 1988, Tian Wang brand was founded and the first watch of Tian Wang
was designed and produced. Different from unified pattern and simple color,
Tian Wang
attracted women in love of beauty with bracelet-shape fashion style and dazzling yellow color.
In this way, Tian Wang became overwhelmingly popular in China.
Tian Wang has gained nearly a hundred of honors since its establishment.
It was granted as "Shenzhen Special Economic Zone High Quality Product
of Analogue Quartz Electronic Watch GB324T/DD" by Shenzhen High
Quality Product Assessment Committee. The title was a high recognition of
and a great encouragement to Tian Wang. It also showed increasing
influence of Tian Wang within the circle.
In 1992, Tian Wang relied on acute market insight, and boldly developed the first fashion women watch.
Based on basic timekeeping function and traditional appearance design,
the watch adopted shiny crystal as a decorating element of the watch band,
which increased the ornament function of the watch and satisfied double demand
of women both in timekeeping and beauty.
The first mechanical Tian Wang watch was born in 1994.
The watch case adopted screws as a decorating element to pay a tribute to screw—
the anchorite that profoundly affected the development of the world.
In 1995, Tian Wang Watch designed and produced the first all-tungsten-steel watch. The inherent elegant quality and chiseled cubic design showed bright and dignified characteristics.
The concept of millennium year is derived from Christian. Except for the religious meaning, it becomes a celebration of
the whole world. The original doomsday implication is replaced by trans-century joy. 2000 is the second millennium year.
In order to celebrate the grand century occasion, Tian Wang developed a millennium
commemorating watch series. It must be the most appropriate way to keep the time
of the new age arrival by watch.
Since gold was discovered 12,000 years ago, the fever for gold has never been extinguished.
Gold is a vessel that runs through the whole history of human beings and free from all constraints
of race, region and culture. In 2004, Tian Wang poured the crazy love for gold of mankind into a
completely 18k gold watch that glowed warmly like the sun. Exquisite design plus elegant material
quality made the watch worth of owning and appreciating.
Tian Wang watch brand was founded in August 1988. In order to celebrate the epoch-making historic moment, Tian Wang solemnly released 20-anniversary limited edition of commemorating gold watch
in August 1988. Each watch had an independent serial number. The watch case adopted
refined stainless steel and distinguished 18K gold. The watch also adopted
Swiss imported movement. Therefore, it was worth of collection and commemoration.
In April 2012, inheriting the tradition of pursuing excellence in watch craftsmanship,
Tian Wang launched Tianjue Tourbillon series watches, and held a grand press
conference for the new series. Famous actor Du Chun joined this grand event,
and witnessed the classic launch of Tianjue Tourbillon, taking Tian Wang's brand
culture and quality up to a whole new level.
2013 is Tian Wang's 25th anniversary. To commemorate this milestone, Tian Wang launched
the Legend watch series, and at the same time, launched the legendary journey of time tour,
titled "Legend • Genesis". Tian Wang signed on supermodels to present the stylish new
"Legend" series products in Daqing, Shenyang, Hohhot, Handan, Zhengzhou and other
cities, and invited Jia Nailiang, Chen Xiaodong, Leon Jay Williams, Peter Ho and other stars
to witness this legendary journey of time together. A magnificent feast was also held to
celebrate the brand's 25th anniversary.

Our minds are much more powerful than most of us realize. This can be demonstrated by a concept frequently taught in undergraduate psychology courses where a picture of an iceberg is shown. The tip of the iceberg (or 10% of the iceberg) is seen above the water level. However, most people don't see 90% of the iceberg under water. Just like the iceberg, only a small portion of the mind's capabilities are seen or known to man. As much as I am amazingly discovering more of the mind's capability throughout the years, that unseen 90% of the capabilities of the mind is likely to be way beyond what I know.
In addition to this iceberg analogy, let me provide you with a real life demonstration of the amazing (but little-known) power of the mind. For a long time prior to the 1980's, a number of travelers reported that they witnessed a group of Tibetan monks in a remote part of the world in the Himalayas and how these monks were able to use their minds to achieve feats with their bodies that we would think impossible. They were reported to have the ability to significantly raise their body temperature, so much that they can dry ice-cold wet towels on their bare backs. In addition, they were able to survive subzero temperature up in the mountains wearing barely anything.
For many in the West who've heard about these monks, they skeptically concluded that it's not possible. However, teams of scientists, medical professors, and documentary film crews traveled there in the 80's to see if the monks can really do what witnesses had reported and if true, to document what they find. Here's what they observed, documented, and verified with scientific instrumentation.
One of the common practices of these monks (as documented by the teams of scientific researchers and film crews) is the practice of soaking towels in buckets of ice-cold water and placing them on their bare backs. With the ice-cold towels on their skin, they would sit quietly and use their minds to raise their body temperature. Within approximately 20 minutes, the wet towels on their backs started steaming. In a little over an hour, the sheets became completely dry.
In some of the coldest nights of the year, the monks have a frequent practice that would kill most of us. As witnessed and documented by the researcher, these monks went up to a high point of the Himalayas not wearing much. Again, they would use their minds to raise their body temperature and stay there overnight in sub-zero temperature. They did not even quiver while the team of researchers and film crew were all bundled up with layers of coats and blankets trying to survive the freezing temperature and prevent frost-bite. In the morning, the monks nonchalantly stood up and walked back down the mountain (while the struggling team of Westerners were finally relieved.)
To ascertain that the monks temperature raising abilities are real, the scientists connected measuring equipment, for gauging body temperature, to the monks while the monks performed their mental practices. Sure enough, the equipment showed significant increase in body temperature.
The monks' remarkable abilities to raise their body temperature seem impossible because it is against common "logic" or against anything we previously knew in the natural world. What these monks can do with their minds is part of the 90% of the unknown part of the iceberg (from my previous analogy.) I emphasize the words "small part" of the iceberg, because we and our minds probably have many many more untapped capabilities (in addition to the temperature raising abilities demonstrated by the monks.)
The first step in harnessing this potential power of you mind is KNOWING how powerful it is, and knowing that it's more powerful than you previously imagined. I brought up the example of the Tibetan monks to demonstrate the point that we must be opened to know that our minds can go beyond the limits that we previously knew.
In the upcoming days, I will teach you a simple daily practice to recruit the power of your mind.
Today's Action
For today, simply make sure that all the action items from previous days are done. At this point, you should be having breakfast everyday. (I've shown you how to do it easily.)
Summary of Actions from Day 1 to Day 4
Here's a list of all the action items from day 1 to now:
Day 1: (a) Get your BMI at http://shapeup.org/prof/bmicalc1.php and enter your values.
(b) Create a SpirFit folder in your computer with a Word document to keep your SpirFit notes and progress. You may also keep a physical file or folder (but this is optional).
Day 2: Watch the video at watch the video at
Day 3: Set up a system so that you could easily have breakfast everyday. Implement at least two of the following-
● Purchase one or more extra stainless steel water bottles and keep them filled with milk in your refrigerator. (While you are at it, purchase also enough bottles for water. Have at least 2 bottles for water and 1 bottle for milk.) You could easily grab them and go in the morning (on the mornings when you can't wake up early enough to have a good solid food breakfast).
● Pre-pack several bags of Ziploc bags with cereal mix. I pack a mix of Cheerios, FiberOne, dried cranberries, and raisins. (Beware that some dried fruits have added sugar. Pick ones that do not or do not put too much dried fruits in your mix.)
● Purchase some canned meal replacement shakes. (This is my least favorite option, but it is still better than skipping breakfast.)
Once you have at least two of the above prepared, it will be easy grab-and-go in the morning. It's just setting up a simple system.
Day 4:
● Purchase a measuring tape that measures your waist, such as the ones at-
●If you have a digital camera or camera phone, snap a full body shot of yourself. (You'll be snapping the same shot of yourself in a few months so keep track of your progress.)

Primerica Review – Legit Insurance Business Opportunity or a Pyramid Scheme?

Primerica Financial Services, Inc or Primerica as it's popularly known is a biz op that has a lot of controversy going around it. Some call it a pyramid scheme or scam and some support it saying it's a legit money maker for them.
They distribute financial products to the North American residents. They sell life insurance, mutual funds, home and auto insurance, and legal services. They left Citigroup in 2010 - which was their parent company back then.
What Is Primerica?
They are a US-based multi level marketing firm which specializes in selling financial services and insurance. Primerica is very similar to Ameriplan which sells healthcare insurance utilizing the same MLM business model.
They are listed as 'PRI' on the New York Stock Exchange and they seem legit. A pyramid scheme won't last in the market for more than a few years, this company has been around since 1977.
Their business comprises of two parts:
- Their financial products
- Their MLM biz op through which one can make commissions selling insurance
The Product Line They Offer
They offer a bunch of financial products to the citizens of North America, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Their product line is pretty big, it includes:
- Financial investments
- Home & Auto insurance
- Term-life insurance
- Financial investments
- Debt management plans
- Credit Monitoring
Can You Make Money With Primerica?
Of course, you can. There are two ways with which you can bank some cash with them.
- You'd sell financial products to earn commissions on the sales you generate - like an old-school salesman would.
- Recruit people under you and get them to do the 'heavy lifting'. Just like you would focus on recruiting people under you if you're a part of an MLM company.
However you don't get to promote their products right away, there's a $99 one-time fee which you'll have to pay to join the program - it will get you the 'Primerica sales license'.
They have a screening process for each of their distributors. Your background records and identity will be verified before you're approved and that's is a good thing.
Once you've gone through the screening and are accepted, you'd have to pay $25 monthly if you want to continue to access their tools and resources - includes training and marketing material. Also, the initial $99 that you pay is 100% refundable after a few months have passed.
The Compensation Plans
There are multiple ways to get commissions with Primerica. You can promote their insurance plans, get paid from your downlines' sales, and from other products. The rates vary depending on your rank with the company.
- Representative - 25%
- Senior Rep - 35% + bonuses
- District Leader - 50% + bonuses
- Division Leader - 60%
- Regional Leader - 70%
- Regional Vice-president - 95% + bonuses
- Senior Vice-president - 95% + bonuses
Is Primerica A Scam?
No, Primerica is not a scam. They sell real products and have been around for more than 40 years now. Recruiting isn't the only business model on which they rely.
You can make up to 95% commissions promoting their financial products (depending on your rank). That's among the highest paying MLMs without a doubt. Those who claim it is a pyramid scheme or a scam are probably people who tried promoting as an affiliate but had little success.
However, 8 out of 10 MLM programs are not legit. Be sure to do your research before hopping onto another program.
Final Thoughts
Without a doubt, Primerica is one of the better business opportunities out there in 2019. You can make a decent income promoting it as an MLM business. If you don't like MLMs and are not a fan of recruiting people, then you're better off staying away from it.
It's simple - only do what you like and are comfortable doing. If you don't like multi level marketing - recruiting others in general, you should instead learn affiliate marketing. It can be very rewarding if done right.
Not a fan of recruiting? No worries, learn affiliate marketing and start your own profitable online business in 2019 and beyond.

Facebook for Lawyers: 6 Tips for Getting Clients
Considering in testing Facebook for your law firm? In 2017, Facebook is expected to capture nearly 40% of the online display advertising market. Translation: Facebook can be a powerful marketing channel for lawyers..
Online advertising is becoming more of a necessity than an option for businesses—but it's only worth the investment when done right. As a busy lawyer, you need to know how to get started on the right foot quickly, so that you can bring in new clients without breaking the bank or investing a lot of time.
Here are six tips that can help you drive more traffic to your website via Facebook, and ultimately get more clients for your law firm.
1. Pay for Facebook
Facebook advertising isn't free. In the past, having a page for your law firm meant that your posts would organically reach at least anyone who liked your page, and potentially more Facebook users too. But as of a few years ago, organic posts from Facebook pages only reach about 2.6% of their fans.
If you decide to start a Facebook page for your law firm, don't just post updates and hope for new leads to roll in. Pay to boost your posts so that potential customers actually see them.
2. Choose your target audience wisely
With Facebook advertising, you'll have plenty of options to target the type of people who'll be most interested in your services, so take advantage when setting up your campaigns. For example, if you're a wills and estates lawyer, and you're posting a link to a blog post entitled "Just Married? 3 Ways to Structure Your Will to Protect Your Loved Ones," you could target:
- Engaged couples
- Newly engaged couples
- Newlywed couples
You can choose who to target with your ads based on any number of life events that people might post about on Facebook, and you can set geographic targets based on where you practice—targeting a newly engaged couple in New York when you practice in Texas won't help your business. Take time to do this right, and your ads will be more effective.
Note: Facebook advertising may not be the best bet for all practice areas. For example, if you're a personal injury lawyer, consider that potential clients will likely use Google, not Facebook, to find a lawyer quickly. Before spending, ask yourself, "Will potential clients see this ad when they need my services?"
3. Write an ad that doesn't look like an ad
If you can make your ads helpful, you'll pay less to advertise on Facebook.
Facebook uses algorithms to determine how well your ad content is received—and posts that don't resemble an ad are usually more popular, making them cheaper for you to promote. For example, it might be more expensive to promote an ad titled "Looking For a Divorce Lawyer?" than to promote a link to a blog post or video titled "5 Things To Do If You're Considering Divorce." Which brings us to our next point.
4. Create helpful content with a purpose
The best way to collect leads from Facebook is to first drive visitors to your website. And the best way to keep visitors on your website is to provide helpful, engaging content.
Give as much information as you can, and provide it in a format that is helpful and actionable. For example, family law firm Fresh Legal has written an extremely useful post on the first steps to take after a separation.
As a bonus, this type of content helps position you as a subject matter expert and builds trust with potential clients. They'll be much more likely to remember your name when they're ready to hire a lawyer if you've helped them already. Useful informational content can also help with SEO, as this post from Juris Digital explains.
5. Create a video if you can
Blog posts are just one form of content you can create for your website. Other options, like infographics, slideshares, or videos, can also be effective for driving visitors to your website.
If you're advertising on Facebook, uploading a short video rather than a blog post can make a big difference in terms of engagement. Why? Four times more consumers would prefer to watch a video than read an article, and with Facebook's autoplay feature, videos are extra eye catching.
When creating videos, keep them short, and include captions so that viewers can watch your videos without sound—over half of Facebook's users access the site via mobile, and they may be in a situation where they can't turn their sound on (e.g., on a train or bus).
6. Test, test, and try again
When it comes to Facebook advertising, don't just set it and forget it. Try different headlines and different versions of ads to see which are most effective for your firm. For example, if you're boosting a blog post or video, does a title in the form of a question work better, or a title in the form of a list?
You can see how your ads are performing in the Facebook Ads Manager, under the "Ad Reporting" screen. If your ad is bringing in plenty of clicks, you may want to run it a little longer, or run a similar campaign. If not, it might make sense to try something different for your next ad.

Logical Form
University of Cambridge, 18th-19th September 2012
This conference will tackle the notion of logical form, and its application to natural and formal languages. In what sense is an argument valid (or invalid) in virtue of its form? What are the goals of formalisation? Does grammatical form really mislead as to logical form? And what are forms anyway, and how do they reflect the structure of the world?
The conference will run for two full days, Tuesday 18th and Wednesday 19th September 2012, at The Møller Centre in Cambridge.
The confirmed speakers are:
- James Cargile, University of Virginia
- Catarina Dutilh Novaes, University of Groningen

Organizations will co-host diversity and inclusion workshop Saturday, August 18
South Bend, Ind. — Saturday morning, residents of two very different neighborhoods will come together to better understand their differences. A free, four-hour Diversity and Inclusion workshop will be hosted for residents of the Near West Side and Kennedy Park neighborhoods by their respective neighborhood associations.
The workshop will take place Saturday, August 18 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Organizers hope the experience will increase partnerships between the neighborhoods and help participants build better relationships with their own neighbors and within their organizations.
"Right now, our organization does not reflect the neighborhood it represents," says Martin Mechtenberg, President of the Near West Side Neighborhood Organization.
While the neighborhood the organization represents is racially and socioeconomically diverse, their active membership is mostly white professionals. Since taking the helm of the organization less than a year ago, Mechtenberg and other members have sought to change that.
"Since day one, I've told myself if we don't make this neighborhood organization more diverse, I will have failed," he says.
After hearing a member share her own experiences with building diversity in another group, Mechtenberg asked her to chair the organization's first Diversity and Inclusion committee. "In this period of rebuilding, we want to stay focused on how important it is for the organization and its leadership to be reflective of the entire neighborhood," says committee chair Andrea Crawford. The organization recently elected a new slate of officers for the first time in several years, and is currently revising its decades-old bylaws. "We want diversity and inclusion to be embedded in the DNA of the organization," says Crawford.
The search for an effective and engaging diversity trainer from outside the neighborhood led Crawford to Eric Love, Director of Staff Diversity and Inclusion at Notre Dame. After an initial meeting, organizers knew Love would set the right tone.
"It's not going to be four hours of getting scolded," says Mechtenberg. "There will be laughter in the room. It won't be about pointing fingers, but learning and digging deeper into each others' experiences."
Near West Side leaders also saw an opportunity to build bridges with communities of color in their own backyards. While participating in NRC's Neighborhood Leadership Academy in spring of this year, Mechtenberg and other Near West Side neighbors connected with leaders from the adjacent Kennedy Park neighborhood, a predominately African-American neighborhood.
When leaders from Kennedy Park sought fundraising assistance last month to rescue their Neighborhood Center building from the tax sale, Near West Side neighbors stepped in to help. Kennedy Park is also undertaking a neighborhood survey to learn more about their own neighbors' desires for the neighborhood, an effort which Near West Side volunteers are going door-to-door to support.
These connections have led to an ongoing partnership between the two neighborhood organizations, including Kennedy Park's co-sponsorship of Saturday's diversity and inclusion training.
Near West Side organizers view their Kennedy Park neighbors' perspectives as invaluable. "We need to understand how our lives are different, and what each others' perspectives are."
Though the co-organizers were able to negotiate discounts on some expenses such as the facility and speaker's fee, the costs of the program still exceeded the associations' available funds.
After some initial fundraising success from members' own contributions and a GoFundMe campaign, the co-organizers applied for additional assistance from the Neighborhood Resources Connection, which doubled their efforts with a matching technical assistance grant of $1,000.
"The issue of diversity and inclusion is a big topic in this community," says Diana Hess, NRC's Executive Director. NRC's technical assistance grant program exists to build capacity among neighborhood organizations, and Hess says Saturday's workshop is a perfect fit. "We're excited to see the collaboration between the two associations. Both of the organizations are trying to achieve better representation of their neighborhoods, and NRC is please to provide support."
Mechtenberg acknowledges NRC's assistance has been invaluable. "We wouldn't be doing this without it," he says.
Lunch has also been donated by Fiddler's Hearth and Dee's Backyard BBQ. Owners of both are residents of the Near West Side.
While priority registration for Saturday's event is available to residents of the two neighborhoods, leaders of other recognized South Bend neighborhood organizations may inquire about the availability of seats by contacting the Neighborhood Resources Connection at (574) 287-0425, or Near West Side Neighborhood Organization leaders at firstname.lastname@example.com or facebook.com/NWSNorg.

Kidney Function Restoration Program
Thiamine is vital to every living thing, both plant and animal. It is an essential component of dozens of enzymes that metabolize food. In particular, thiamine is necessary to derive energy from glucose, the preferred food of nerve cells, and from other carbohydrates. It is more indirectly involved in the metabolism of the amino acids isoleucine, leucine, and valine.
An enzyme is a catalyst for chemical reactions. It consists of a protein and a coenzyme that attaches to the target substance, activates the chemical change, and then detaches to be ready again for the target substance. In its most important role, thiamine, as thiamine pyrophosphate, is the coenzyme of carboxylase. Among other things, it causes carboxyl (COOH) groups to be oxidized into carbon dioxide and water, releasing energy to body cells. Because it functions as part of a reusable enzyme catalysis system and is not an integral part of tissue structure itself, thiamine is needed in only small amounts of 1 to 3 micrograms a day.
Thiamine is a water-soluble vitamin that is found widely in foods. It is most concentrated in whole grains, yeast, and legumes; in liver, heart, and kidneys of most mammals; and in oysters. It is available also in most green vegetables and pork. An antagonistic enzyme produced by bacteria - thiaminase - is found in a few diverse foods such as raw fish and tea. The symptoms of beriberi are caused by a deficiency of thiamine, which may be slight or severe, temporary or long term. The deficiency usually results from the shortage of thiamine in a restricted and monotonous diet, but it can sometimes be exacerbated by the consumption of large amounts of foods high in thiaminase.
The epidemiology of beriberi follows from the role of thiamine in energy metabolism and its deficiency in restricted diets. The population at highest risk for beriberi have been (1) people engaged in heavy labor, such as farmers plowing their fields and soldiers and construction workers; (2) pregnant women; and subsequently, (3) their nursing infants. The populations in which beriberi has been most prevalent have been of two kinds: people confined to institutions, such as prisons, asylums, and naval ships, who are limited to monotonous and restricted diets such as bread and water or fish and rice; and people who derive a large portion of their calories from rice from which milling has removed most of the bran in which the thiamine is found.
Beriberi is in large part a disease of rice culture. When rice is the staple food, it is eaten in very large quantities and commonly provides 80 percent or more of the caloric energy. When the hull is removed with a mortar and pestle at home, enough bran remains on the rice to provide the necessary thiamine. When the rice is milled efficiently in modern plants, however, it is polished into white rice and thiamine is almost entirely eliminated.
Cooking methods are also important in the etiology of the disease. In northern China, Korea, and Japan, the rice hulls were traditionally removed before shipment in order to reduce bulk. When the rice reached the cities, it was so crawling with weevils that the subsequently highly-milled rice was covered in weevil juices and thus often treated with talc. Cooking procedures called for the rice to be thoroughly washed several times. The first washing alone removed half of the thiamine. In Burma and other parts of Southeast Asia, the custom has been to cook rice with excess water and throw away the water that is not absorbed, which contains most of the thiamine. Other peoples either cook the rice so as to absorb all the water, or use the extra water for drinking purposes or for other cooking. In the lower Ganges Valley in India, in Bihar and Bengal, the custom has been to parboil rice. Steaming the rice for partial cooking before drying it and then milling it for distribution preserves most of the thiamine in white rice, and is protective against beriberi. However, the labor or costs required in the process and the different taste and texture produced have not been widely acceptable among other peoples in Asia.
Numerous cultural beliefs and practices are involved in the regional etiology of beriberi. In northeastern Thailand and Laos, for example, people usually steam their glutinous variety of rice - a protective behavior. But, unlike other people in Thailand, they have very limited supplies of fresh fruit or vegetables or of meat for consumption. They eat fish, most of which is in the form of a fermented raw paste and is high in thiaminase, the destroyer of thiamine. Throughout the region, rice is so central to the cultures that it is synonymous with food itself. One result is that invalids, weanlings, and other susceptible people may eat nothing except rice. As milling spreads throughout the region, beriberi has resulted.
There is now indication that in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Brazil, the disease was endemic among slaves and members of the working classes. The deficiency was usually the result of diets consisting mainly of manioc flour and a little dried meat. This flour actually contains less thiamine than does milled rice, and the preparation of the lean dried meat not only eliminated most of its natural thiamine but also increased the body's need for the vitamin (Kiple 1989).
A new population at risk has recently been recognized. In urbanized and industrial countries, beriberi occurs most frequently among alcoholics. At the same time that chronic alcohol consumption impairs the absorption of thiamine by the intestine and its storage and utilization in the liver, it increases the metabolic rate and requires relatively enormous amounts of thiamine for metabolism of the alcohol. When the alcoholic substitutes alcohol for other foods in his or her diet and curtails consumption of thiamine, Wernicke's encephalopathy and other neuropsychiatric disorders may occur, involving loss of motor coordination, loss of feeling in the hands and feet, and inability to remember or learn.
There are a few other specific groups of individuals at risk of beriberi. These include people suffering from renal failure and under long-term dialysis, and people under long-term intravenous feeding.
Because beriberi is a deficiency disease, it is entirely preventable by the consumption of adequate amounts of thiamine. In the United States, enrichment of white bread - replacing the thiamine that had been removed in the milling and bleaching of wheat — caused clinical disease virtually to disappear except among alcoholics. More recently, rice enrichment has also proved beneficial.

Dementia is caused by diseases of the brain. Dementia is not a single illness but a group of symptoms caused by damage to the brain. It is more common in people over 65, but dementia can also affect younger people. Most people associate dementia with loss of memory, but symptoms can also include confusion and difficulties with thinking things through, problem-solving and language.
In dementia, these symptoms may cause problems with learning new skills, such as using a new phone, or they may cause loss of familiar skills, such as cooking a meal, driving, managing medication or paying household bills. This can cause people to become anxious or lose confidence.
Sometimes people also experience changes in mood or behave in ways that are out of character, such as becoming withdrawn or irritable.
This can happen as we get older but dementia is not an in-built part of growing old. Dementia usually occurs in people over 65 but young-onset dementia can affect people under this age. The most common disease is Alzheimer's disease and there are also 2 or 3 others that feature more often.
Dementia Friendly Charlbury is keen to offer dementia-awareness sessions to local "customer-facing" businesses and community activity groups. Awareness sessions are run by volunteer Dementia Friends Champions, who are trained and supported by the Alzheimer's Society. The sessions are run free of charge at a venue of your choice (although if your chosen venue charges for use, you will need to cover that cost). Each Information Session lasts around one hour. You will learn more about dementia and how you can help to create dementia friendly communities.
If your business or group would be interested, we would be pleased to hear from you.

Dementia Oxfordshire is a service offering information, advice and support to people diagnosed and living with dementia and their families/carers.
Their team of Dementia Advisers meet people within the community including home visits, support people in memory clinics, set up community groups and generally help people with dementia and their carers feel valued, informed and supported. The Dementia Adviser covering patients of the Charlbury Medical Centre is Andrew Dyer.
Dementia Oxfordshire operates a helpline for people to ring for advice and support on a wide range of issues. Staffed by their Dementia Advisers, the helpline is in operation from 9.00am to 6.00pm Monday to Friday on 01865 410210.
Further information about the service is available on the Dementia Oxfordshire website www.dementiaoxfordshire.org.uk
The website also contains useful information about support available for people living with dementia and their carers. Go to the Information page and find the West Oxon Dementia Information prescription under "Our Directory of Oxfordshire Services". There are also 6 boxes focussing on different kinds of information which give access to a Search facility.
Dementia UK, a national charity, have produced some useful information leaflets which are available here: https://www.dementiauk.org/understanding-dementia/advice-and-information
Visit their website: www.alzheimers.org.uk for a range of useful information about different types of dementia and how to live as well as possible if you are someone living with dementia or a carer.
Alzheimer's Society's Dementia Friends initiative aims to transform the way the nation thinks, acts and talks about dementia. Becoming a Dementia Friend simply means finding out more about how dementia affects a person and then, armed with this understanding, doing small everyday things that help. For example, being patient in a shop queue, or spending time with someone you know who's living with dementia.
For more information visit the Dementia Friends website: www.dementiafriends.org.uk
It happens to all of us from time to time. You can't put a name to a face. You go upstairs and then forget what you went up for. You sometimes take a bit longer to find the right word.
Most of the time such slips are a nuisance, rather than a sign of something more serious. And, of course, some of us are more forgetful than others. But if you are worried that your memory is getting noticeably worse, or if memory loss is beginning to affect your everyday life, it is important to seek early advice because it could be an early sign of dementia.
You might also be concerned about someone close to you.
Memory problems are common. Many of us notice that our memory becomes less reliable as we get older. It's important to know that there are many reasons for memory loss apart from dementia. These can include depression, infections and vitamin and thyroid deficiencies. The earlier you seek help the better, as there may be support or treatment available that can help you. For more information, go to this website: www.alzheimers.org.uk/memoryworry.
But sometimes memory loss can be an early sign of a medical condition such as dementia, so it's important to seek early advice.
If you are worried about your memory, visit your GP. They will talk to you |and anyone with you| about your concerns and possibly arrange for further investigation. You may be referred to a local memory clinic or hospital specialist where further assessment will be performed and a more certain diagnosis can be made.
If you are concerned about the memory of someone close to you, encourage them to visit their GP. Support the person to make the appointment and offer to go with them if necessary.
If a diagnosis of dementia is confirmed, there is help available. You can phone Dementia Oxfordshire, our local support service, on 01865 410210. Their website is: www.dementiaoxfordshire.org.uk.

The Volkswagen Golf has traditionally been offered with an extensive range of petrol and diesel engines, and the new Volkswagen Golf Mk7 is no exception.
At launch, the range will kick off with a pair of turbocharged petrol engines: a 1.2-litre unit making 85bhp and a 1.4-litre boasting 138bhp.
The frugal 1.2 promises a claimed 57.7mpg and CO2 emissions of 113g/km, while the 1.4 returns 58.9mpg and 112g/km, helped by a cylinder deactivation system that cuts out the two middle cylinders to reduce fuel consumption between 1400 and 4000rpm.
- 2013 Volkswagen Golf: full details revealed
Also planned, but not yet officially confirmed, are a more powerful version of the 1.2 and a less powerful 1.4. The 1.2 will make 103bhp and the 1.4 120bhp, although they aren't expected here until later next year.
The technologically advanced (but expensive to make) 158bhp 1.4-litre TwinCharger engine, endowed with both a turbocharger and supercharger, has been dropped. However, word on the rumour mill suggests that VW could bring a turbocharged 1.8-litre engine to the new Golf line-up with a rumoured 178bhp, which would bridge the gap to the more performance-orientated models in the Golf range.
- Blog: What's the new Volkswagen Golf like inside?
Diesels will major on 1.6 and 2.0-litre capacities. The 1.6 is a lightly reworked version of today's unit, while the 2.0 is a heavily revised version of the current engine.
In standard tune, the 1.6 will make 103bhp and boast 74.3mpg and 99g/km. The more frugal BlueMotion variant claims 14mpg better at 88.3mpg, with CO2 emissions improved by 14g/km at just 85g/km.

''Sometimes I think I'm crazy cause I see things so differently than everybody else.''
You see, there is meaning in everything, and nothing happens for no reason. People encounter other hundreds of people on the streets, let's say, daily, without knowing what they are actually doing:passing by other hundreds of stories, each and every one of them are special, different and unique.
They will never get to know those stories, those inner secrets, those never-happened-before experiences. People smile, strolling around around normally,while hiding thoughts and dreams:of love, lust, happiness, or hate, fear and isolation. Feelings are quite alike among people, but never the same. Just like the quote, sometimes, I think of myself as a little, creepy weirdo, which would never in a million years fit this world. That thought used to scare me. But you see, just like they say,''Fear is being used as a tool of manipulation in our society.''
And that is, I am afraid to say, completely true.
The first time I saw the cinematographic jewel 'A single Man', I felt as if I could finally breathe again, like a breath of fresh air, like something that gives you power to move on and shape yourself into a better entity. This is what I would call an "iconic film.''
We are different, therefore different kinds of stories define us. I have found a small part of myself inside this very story. Directed by one of the creators I prefer the most, Tom Ford, set in my absolutely favourite period of all time, the 60's,
''A single man'' inspires me. The overwhelming set of actors, the soundtrack, the clothing, the almost neutral palette of colours which is used. Everything-defines-me.
I cannot tell you what this epic, deep mixture of beauty and action is about, I don't want to spoil the amazing surprise and the intense sensations you are going to get whilst watching this piece of cinematography. What I can say, is that it has changed me. In a very, small, tiny part, but it has sculpted me. And that's the important thing. It might not impress somebody else as much as it did in my case, but, don't worry ,we are different. I am never bored of ''A single man''.
So, my dears, find that story you would watch or listen to over and over again. Close your eyes, and let it guide you. Cause, you see,that story was probably meant for you.

Container gardening – the process of growing a garden in pots – is becoming increasingly popular amongst apartment dwellers, those that live in high-rise urban areas, and people that don't want to dedicate a section of their yard to a garden.
Gardening in containers allows those with limited space to grow vegetables and reap the benefits of homegrown produce.
Growing veggies in containers is a lot similar to any other plants. With a few basic tips, it's easy to get started and have a successful yield to enjoy at the end of the growing season.
The first step in your journey is to choose the vegetables you want to grow. The following vegetables are more suited to grow in containers than others and are good to start with:
If you are limited on space and don't want plants to take over your patio or balcony, avoid plants such as pumpkins, cucumbers, and squash that grow long, trailing, vines.
An important aspect in growing vegetables in containers is making sure the container used is the appropriate size for the given veggies. Choose containers that will work well with the plants you want to grow.
For instance, shallow-rooted veggies like radishes and different lettuce varieties can be grown in shallower, wider containers where vegetables such as potatoes and tomatoes will need deeper containers, allowing their roots to spread out through the soil.
After choosing the types of vegetables you want to grow and getting gardening containers, it's time to fill the pots with soil.
Quality potting soil is one of the most important items you need to successfully grow vegetables in gardening containers. Potting soils are preferred over topsoil because they are light and airy, keeping the weight of the containers down. They also provide nutrients to the plants' roots and retain moisture for root uptake.
While many commercial brands of potting soil are available for purchase, there are plenty of instructions online to make your own potting soil.
Plants will all grow and mature at different rates. If you'd like to time the harvest of your garden for approximately the same time, you may need to plant your plants at different intervals.
Also, planting dates are important to keep in mind to ensure they are harvestable before the weather turns cold in the fall (unless you bring the containers inside using plant caddies).
To figure out plants dates, you first need to determine the days to maturity – usually listed on the seed packet or plant tag – then work your way backward from the approximate time you'd like to harvest to determine when is the best time to plant.
One of the drawbacks to growing veggies in gardening containers is that they need to be watered more often than plants grown directly in the ground. This is due to a couple of reasons.
First off, soil in containers dry out more quickly because the pots tend to heat up, creating a microclimate of sorts.
Secondly, the lesser amount of soil holds less moisture, and the plant can't draw from the larger surrounding area like it can when growing in the ground.
Just like you need to water containers more often, you will need to fertilize your vegetables in gardening containers more often than plants grown in the ground.
The smaller amount of soil has less holding capacity (i.e. nutrient storage) so the nutrients are depleted more quickly. Fertilize at a lesser amount but more often to give your plants the nutrients they need to grow vigorously.
Garden vegetables need to be in a full sun location that receives 6-8 hours of unfiltered, direct sunlight daily. The ideal location is a spot that receives some shade during the hottest part of the afternoon, but plenty of sun the rest of the day.
When grouping containers together, be mindful of the height of mature plant so they don't end up shading out shorter plants. If you have an area that gets too hot during parts of the day, think about putting larger containers on rolling plant caddies so you can easily move them to shaded spots for a break from the sun.
For one reason or another, the foliage or flowers on your plants may die during the growing season. If this happens, remove the deceased tissue using a pair of sharpened, disinfected gardening shears.
Removing dead plant tissue will encourage vigorous growth in the plant, since it's won't be trying to send nutrients to tissue that can't be revived. As a bonus, this will also decrease the incidence of disease.
Pests can take the shape of insects, diseases, or even weeds. All three will negatively impact your vegetables in one way or another; the most typical response is a reduction in yield. To keep these effects to a minimum, watch your plants closely. Pull weeds when they appear, treat diseases and fungal infections with the appropriate chemical measures, and eradicate insect pests using mechanical or chemical methods.
Container gardening allows people with limited space the ability to grow their own vegetables and enjoy fresh vegetables on their dinner plate. The tips listed above will help even the most novice grower turn empty containers into produce filled treasure troves.
Comments will be approved before showing up.
When you live in a place where floor space is very limited – like a small city apartment – storage space is a premium. If you have a lot of belongings that you need to find storage for, there are alternatives to buying space-consuming cabinets.

A Gift for My Hostess, My Friend
My workshop over the past weekend was for a dear friend of mine, so I wanted to give her a small hostess gift that I thought she would really like. I don't do the extravagant hostess gifts that I have seen some other demos do…I have a hard time finding the time or the money, but I like to give them either some product that I know they will use or a homemade gift that they would like. I went the homemade gift route with this one. I had no idea what I was going to make until I stopped at Target the weekend before. There in the $1 Spot were these adorable little glass tea light lanterns. They had red and clear that I remember. My friend loves red (we both have the exact same red couch…I still claim I bought mine first, but we honestly found it at the same time since we were furniture browsing together) and she has it throughout the house in various places. So of course I chose the red lantern.
I am still getting used to the rub-ons, but I knew I wanted to try them on the glass lantern. So I applied the large white flower from Love & Happiness Rub-on collection that was part of SAB this year. Well, even though I thought I was being careful, it did not come out centered. So I added the little LOVE quote in Chocolate Chip Rub-on to the one side of the flower. That definitely helped even it out…so yes, of course, I meant to and had that planned all along! Then I added some Diamond Stickles around the edges of the flower just to dress it up a little.
I think she really liked it, so I was pleased! Then she gave me a present…how sweet is she?! A box of sugar-free chocolate! Ahh the perfect gift for the gestational diabetic! Even though I still have to eat it sparingly, I love having an option at the end of a meal to have a piece of chocolate! Well that is all for now…I am tired once again. Am I really going to be tired for the next 2 months?!? I don't remember quite having this extent of 3rd trimester tiredness with my first pregnancy, but I am struggling to get through days without a nap right now…not real convenient especially since I work all day! Oh well! Have a great week!

Before the event, there were concerns about Forster's body actually coming back to life, because this was the 19th century and people didn't know things, but as the Newgate Calendar (a record of London executions) informed its readers, his sentence was that he should "hang until he be dead," which effectively meant that should he return to life, he would be marched directly back to the gallows.
Via Wikipedia
The terrified imp on the far left is the only one in the picture with an appropriate reaction.
The experiment was carried out by Giovanni Aldini, who, by the time he zapped Forster in public, had not only mastered his core technique, but developed a theatrical flair. First, he applied the electrified conducting rods to Forster's face, which caused Forster's jaw to quiver and grimace horribly. His left eye popped open. Aldini then applied the rods to Forster's torso, causing the body to jiggle and contort and even blow out a candle. What, you couldn't flex the jaw and make it talk in a funny voice? The audience had to have been disappointed by that, but way to show some restraint there.
Wait, we take that back. Because nothing could have prepared audiences for the grand finale, in which Aldini shoved a conducting rod into the cadaver's rectum, causing it to punch a fist in the air (really, this is the type of climax that no one is prepared for).
"You keep your eyes open, people. This is the world."

Lately I have had a lot of experience with PostDanmark. It is always exciting what is going to happen when you mail something or when you are waiting to have something delivered, because in PostDanmark, everything is possible! …Except bringing out mail or handling packages.
I am expecting two packages from Canada, and three days ago I came home to a postformnote, that said that one of my packages had arrived and that I could pick it up at the nearest post office. Because of earlier experiences with PostDanmark, I thought that this was to good to be true. And it was. The next day there was another postformnote waiting for me to come home from work. This one was not filled out, but instead the postman had written "wrong address, sorry" and then signed it The Postman. Wrong address what? Mine? I'm sure this is my address! Or wrong address to the Post office? I knew that the note wasn't going to give me any answers, so I figured to wait a day or two, and see if there was going to be more notes and clues from the postman. And there was. The day after I received a new postformnote saying that there was a package for me from Canada and I could pick it up at the nearest post office, but this nearest post office had a different address than the first nearest post office? I was confused. Had a received the two packages I was expecting, and where they lying in two different post offices? Or was it the same package there by mistake was delivered at the wrong post office first, and then shipped to another? And which of these two nearest post offices is actually the one nearest?
I decided to call PostDanmark and ask, and then at the same time get the packages shipped to the post offices nearest to my work, so I also would be able to actually pick the packages up, for off cause the post offices are only open while I work.. The first lady at the customer service I talked to, wasn't really any help, but she informed me that it would cost me 31,50 dkkr to get the package shipped from one post office to another and then she put me through to the post office where one of my packages where, so that I myself could explain what it was I wanted them to do. The lady there was also very confused about shipping a package from one place to another, and actually asked me how to do it! And then she informed me that it would cost me 33 dkkr to do so. That is 1,50 dkkr more than the first price I got, but no reason mention it, wouldn't want to confuse the poor thing even more. I asked her if she could put me through to the other post office that had the other package, so that I also could get that one shipped, but she couldn't and said that I had to call the costumer service again, and then they could put me through. So I called customer service again and talked to a third lady, who also was very confused about the whole shipping packages thing… I explained it, and then she said " Oh ok, it will cost you… wait… it will cost you.. is it…. you know I twill cost you something Wright?" "Yes, 33dkkr" I answered, "but I will bring 35 just to be on the safe side, 'cause it seems that the price gets higher and higher the more people I have to talk to…". She called the other post office where my second package might be, while I was on hold. But there was no package. She tried to explain to me why I got that many postformnotes, and said that the postman probably had used the second one as greaseproof paper.. Since I got the three notes three different days, I knew that that wasn't the case, but again, no reason telling her that, and make the poor thing more confused. So now there was only one package to have shipped and pick up, but she was not sure how long it would take. She told me that I could try and go down to the post office the day after, and see if they had received the package. Or else just try another day.
Today is the day after, and I am soon to find out if my package is there. I will bring 50 dkkr just to be on the safe side, because you never know how many people you have to talk to, and what will happen when you are dealing with PostDanmark.

A U.S.-led battalion of over 1,100 soldiers will be deployed to Poland starting in April, a U.S. commander announced.
900 U.S., 150 British and 120 Romanian soldiers will comprise the battlegroup in northeastern Poland, one of four battalions in the Baltic region, as a part of NATO's enhanced "Forward Presence" operation. Russia has condemned the move as aggression on the part of NATO.
"The purpose is to deter aggression in the Baltics and in Poland," U.S. Army Lt. Colonel Steven Gventer, who leads the battle group, said in a press conference.
Britain, Canada and Germany are leading other battlegroups in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, which are scheduled to be operational by June. This will bring the total to 4,000 NATO troops, supported by tanks, armored vehicles, aircraft and high tech command centers. With a network of eight NATO outposts, the forces can call on an additional 40,000 alliance troops in case of attack.

The United States had 300,000 service personnel stationed in Europe during the Cold War, according to the Heritage Foundation. In 1997, the U.S. and Russia agreed not to permanently station forces on the Russian border.
Ongoing Escalations
Russia's ground-launched SSC-8 cruise missile has been developed over the past several years, in spite of U.S. complaints that it violates the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty.
President Trump told president Putin that he did not support lengthening the "New START" arms control agreements which president Obama had signed. This raises questions about the administration's commitment to arms reductions, in spite of statements from top generals.
"I have stated for the record in the past, now I'll state again that I am a big supporter of the New START agreement," said Air Force General John Hyten, the head of U.S. Strategic Command.
Cruise missiles are highly accurate and have a low radar profile, making them ideal for first strikes. These weapons can carry nuclear warheads.
President Trump's statements followed criticism this week after it was announced that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson would be skipping NATO's April 5-6 summit. The State Department confirmed that Tillerson would be meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping at President Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate on April 6-7.
