Fare thee well, my honey
When love is gone now, I think,
Was it worth it, or not, who can tell,
In these cries and woes, I slowly sink,
When my wings burnt, where I fell,
Where I dwell now, in a small town,
Shattered pieces, of my heart broken,
In these cries and wors, I slowly drown,
Would that it be a dream, I'd be woken,
When joy is gone now, my laughs are fake,
I am a shell now, of my former glory,
In these cries and woes, I slowly break,
Who'd know my tragic tale, my sad story,
How life is a mess now, absent dream,
Absent ambition, absent aim, absent fire,
In these cries and woes, I slowly scream,
When you were gone, I lost desire,
This mind singing, this pen and paper,
How I am broke now, I have no money,
My passing life, in smoke and vapor,
In these cries and woes, I 'fare thee well oh honey'.

Turn Your Lifestyle into a Business
What do you love? Is it cooking? Fitness? Fashion? Are you passionate enough about one of your hobbies that you feel like you could do it every day for the rest of your life? If so, you might want to consider starting your own business. Think about makeup artists, renowned fitness coaches, fashion boutique owners, professional crafters, bloggers and those chefs you see on television. They all have different interests and professions, but they have one thing in common. They turned their lifestyle into brands. And guess what? You can do the same!
Here are some benefits of turning your lifestyle into a business:
1. You can make money by doing what you love
2. You get to be your own boss.
3. You can create your brand to be whatever you want it to be.
4. You can make your own schedule.
5. If you are successful enough, you can quit your day job!
Starting a business is a lot of work, but it can also be fun. (It should be fun if you're doing something you're truly passionate about!) If you take the right steps and stay organized, you won't have any problems getting your little business up and running.
What will the purpose of your business be?
First, you'll want to decide what the purpose of your business is. Will you sell clothes or jewelry? Will you take wedding photos? Will you start a cooking blog and monetize it? The possibilities are endless. The most important thing is that the purpose of your business surrounds something that you are passionate about.
What will your goals be?
Next, you'll want to set "SMART" goals for your business. SMART stands for specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time bound. SMART was designed to help people set goals that are grounded in reality and very possible to achieve. SMART goals follow the following criteria:
S- Be specific when defining the goal.
M- Make sure you are able to use real numbers to track and measure your goal.
A- Make your goal challenging, but not impossible to achieve.
R- Know what you will be able to achieve, and make sure the goal is realistic after considering any hurdles you might have to overcome along the way.
T- Give yourself a deadline for achieving the goal.
How will you brand yourself?
Another important step is to brand yourself. What will be the name of your business? What will the logo look like? What will your tagline be? Here are some things to consider when branding your business:
→ The name of your business should be short and sweet if possible, but most importantly memorable and unique. You want the name of your business to help you stand out and serve as an indicator of what your business does.
→ When coming up with a branding plan for your business, consider your values. You'll want your brand to represent at least some of your personal values, so you can use these as inspiration for the branding.
→ Make sure the website URL and social media handles for your business name are available. You don't want to end up accidentally copying the name of another business, and you also want to make sure you will have a strong internet presence so potential customers can find you easily.
Which social networks will you use?
After you decide on branding, you'll want to go ahead and secure those social media handles. It's a good idea for everyone to have Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn, and depending on your business, you may also want to create Instagram and Pinterest. Make your accounts, and then work on your website. You'll want to start your business off right with a professional website and social media profiles.
Now, it's time to get to work!
Set up your workspace to your liking and create a schedule that is convenient and productive for you. Once you create some products or do some client work, you will build your portfolio. If you have a loyal client base, the orders will roll in. However, you might find it extremely hard at first to get your first few clients. It's a big world out there, and there's lots of competition in just about every industry. How do you get your name out there?
We're here to help. inomars, INC. is a marketing agency that provides innovative, effective and long lasting marketing solutions. Our staff of trained marketing specialists can utilize search engine optimization, web analytics and online advertising to help you grow your business. In our company, we are driven by the same passion that you are; we love marketing, and we commit to understanding your business' needs.

Fieldwork is a significant and well-resourced element of the programme's teaching philosophy and is designed to complement and extend the class room provision. We run two field trips each year. Attendance on these is mandatory and the cost of attendance is covered in your fees.
An Induction field course: Isle of Purbeck and the New Forest National Park, Dorset
The aims of this induction fieldtrip are exceedingly straightforward, namely i) to get to know each other and chat about our respective interests, 2) to introduce the course ethos and philosophy, 3) To visit a set of sites that illustrate both a European approach to conservation and the interactions between landscapes, actors, institutions over time.
A week residential field course to Tenerife, Spain in the Easter vacation
Coming at the end of the taught component of the course this trip aids to consolidate and extend learning in relation to key themes in the course. For example: 1) Factors determining the distribution and ecologies of species over place and time, 2) The role of base-lines in shaping conservation science and policy, 3) How interplay of multi-level conservation governance and the specificities of place in producing conservation territories, 4) Techniques for engaging diverse publics in the conservation cause.

Watch the video: levitation photography – make objects float
Whether it's for action-packed product shots or cosplay projects, the ability to make an object levitate in your frame can add punch and production value to your photographs.
There are a few different ways to achieve this effect. The most fun way is to spend a few years attending Hogwarts, but you can also make objects float using a program like Photoshop with the aid of multiple layers and some nifty masking skills. However, using these photography tips, you can get a much more realistic-looking effect in-camera – and it can be much easier than wrestling with lots of layers in post-production.
You'll need to pick up an expandable shower rod, which costs about a tenner from somewhere like B&Q, and a roll of catgut or fishing wire, which will only run you a few pounds. Of course, you will also need an object, or objects, to levitate – this will depend on the specific image that you want to shoot, but in our case we've gone for a magician making an old analogue camera setup float in the air.
From here it's a case of finding a doorway or other space to securely erect your shower rod, and then using lengths of catgut to diligently hang each element that you want to levitate. If you're lucky with the light, once you've taken your shot, the catgut may be completely invisible. If not, you'll need to use the Spot Healing Brush tool in Photoshop to erase the signs of your magic trick!
01 Hanging around
Erect your shower rod in a doorway or other suitable space. Once it's secure, tie on lengths of wire and hang the objects you wish to levitate. Make sure to snip any loose excess wire to save extra editing later.
02 Trick of the light
Whether you're using natural or supplemental, having light with a bit of direction will help sell the illusion. If the objects cast some shadows on your subject, it will show that the image isn't just a Photoshop trick!
03 Point of focus
Your objects will all be on the same focal plane, so focus on your main point of interest. Shoot with the widest aperture you can (we used f/1.8) to blur the background while keeping objects and subject sharp.
04 Where the magic happens
After you've taken your shot, you may have to remove the wires in post-production if the light caught them. Use Photoshop's Healing Brush tool and simply paint along the wires to make them disappear – magic!
05 A spot more magic
The Healing Brush can struggle where different backdrops meet – like the black background meeting the white shirt, or the shirt meeting the thumb. Use the Spot Healing Brush or Clone Stamp tools here.
06 The last (Wiz)bit
Finally, use the Crop tool to remove the door frame at either side of the shot. It can be tempting to leave it in as a framing device, but it will give the trick away! Now do any final retouching and save the image.

3 Career Sectors That Are Heating Up in Detroit
Detroit is a city that has been reinventing itself. Widely known as the hub of the U.S. auto industry, this corner of Michigan has been garnering attention as a center of innovation for a diverse array of career sectors. The region is home to dozens of start-up companies, funded by venture capital, that are developing everything from clothing and food products to software programs and mobile apps. Venture capital firms invested more than $62 million in Detroit start-ups in a single year.1
Solid opportunities for career seekers continue to emerge. The Detroit metro area has seen over-the-year job growth every month since June 2010.2 And one report found that the largest increase in jobs has been among those with earnings of $40,000 or more per year.3
Occupational sectors that are primed to take off in Detroit include:
1. Technology
Researchers, engineers, and other technology professionals are increasingly in demand in Detroit as manufacturing becomes more high-tech and automakers look to electrify vehicles and develop self-driving cars. With three-quarters of the American auto industry's research and development taking place in Michigan, it's hardly surprising that the Detroit region has more connected-vehicle technology projects on the go than anywhere else in the country.4
Abundant opportunities exist for software developers, database administrators, and computer support specialists throughout the city. In fact, when it comes to tech jobs, Detroit has one of the fastest-growing employment rates in the country.5
Here are a few examples of technology careers that are expected to see double-digit job growth in Detroit between 2016 and 2026, along with their average salaries from 2018:6
- Information security analysts—39.4 percent / $94,830
- Applications software developers—32.9 percent / $95,280
- Mechanical engineers—20.1 percent / $95,880
- Computer and information systems managers—14.9 percent / $139,070
- Web developers—12.7 percent / $72,700
- Computer systems analysts—11.7 percent / $85,500
2. Business and Finance
The business and financial industries are key parts of Detroit's economy and have been on the rise for several years. Over one six-year period, the city's rate of job growth in this sector far outpaced the national average.3 Major companies like Quicken Loans and Ally Financial are headquartered downtown and employ thousands of local residents.
Looking ahead, opportunities should grow rapidly for occupations like the following:6
- Operations research analysts—32.1 percent / $90,550
- Actuaries—29 percent / $95,880
- Marketing specialists—25.4 percent / $73,150
- Personal financial advisors—15.5 percent / $101,640
3. Skilled Trades
With an increasing focus on renovating historic buildings and erecting new public facilities, Detroit's building industry is booming. Hospitals, commercial buildings, and housing developments are all set for development or expansion.7 In fact, construction employment in the city is projected to grow almost 12 percent between 2016 and 2026, adding more than 6,900 new jobs.6
According to one survey, almost 60 percent of contractors across Michigan have trouble finding enough qualified tradespeople for open positions. They particularly struggle to find cement masons, carpenters, and iron workers.8 By getting the right training now, you can be well-positioned for future opportunities.
Have a look at the strong employment outlook and average annual salaries for these trades in Detroit:6
- CNC machine tool programmers—18.3 percent / $53,990
- Millwrights—17.4 percent / $70,120
- Industrial engineering technicians—12.1 percent / $57,680
- Brickmasons and blockmasons—11.1 percent / $55,400
- Industrial machinery mechanics—10.6 percent / $54,370
Make a New Start
Now is the time to begin building a brighter future. Detroit trade schools and colleges are ready to help you get where you want to go. Type your zip code into the following school finder to generate a list of convenient nearby programs!

Tork used his powers no longer to take advantage...but to liberate!
Tork, the Fungal King is a Bio Tempest from Verdanth. His face is concealed by a metallic gas mask, and his abilities focus on the manipulation of the special qualities of fungi, spores, and similar plant-like life-forms. He is notably quite bulky for a Tempest.
He shares his Type and Class with Sage.
Base Stats & Unlock Levels
Green stats are the highest and red ones are the lowest.
Tork was first revealed as Maxis art on the Darkspore ARG website, Help eDNA. A day after he was revealed, two commands were inserted into the website that loaded short in-game videos of Tork when entered. His name, title and class were revealed on the Darkspore forum by senior systems designer Paul Sottosanti.
LoreOn Verdanth, most creatures sought harmony with all living things. And then there was
An outcast and a scoundrel, Tork took whatever nutrients and psychoactive bioceutials from whoever was nearest, as long as he was strong enough to dominate them.
And then he fell victim to someone whose power he could not hope to match, Crogenitor Astra.
Made a test subject for a decade, Tork lived in constant terror. Although Astra never tortured him, subjecting him only to repeated anatomical and endurance examinations, Tork came to see Astra's other specimens to be just like him; powerless and terrified. He swore that if ever given the chance, he'd free every living being in the laboratory from the bizarre, giant alien who'd captured them all.
And one morning, Astra gave him that chance. On purpose. When Astra allowed Tork to think he could overpower the Crogenitor during an examination, Tork fought him with everything he had, including abilities he had no idea he even possessed; a somno-cloud of sleep-inducing spores, and a blast of thano-pollen which would have poisoned any creature other than a Crogenitor.
Escaping with his fellow Verdanthi back into the wild, Tork used the rejuvenating spores his body had always possesed, but now much stronger, to heal his newfound friends. And when the Darkspore conquered his world, he used his powers no longer to take advantage...but to liberate!
Toxic Spores (Basic Ability - Ranged Attack)
Lobs a spore that creates a cloud on impact, poisoning enemies for X energy damage over 3 seconds. Enemies that stay within the cloud will continually have the duration period of the debuff reset until it subsides.
Releases a continuous stream of relaxation spores for 6 seconds that cause enemies within 6m to fall asleep.
Virulent Vines (Alpha Variant)
Roots the target in place for 8 seconds and applies an infectious disease that deals X energy damage over that period. The disease will spread to other nearby enemies, dealing X energy damage to each.
Healing Sprite (Beta Variant)
Summons a sprite that heals Tork and nearby allies. Can be killed by Darkspore.
Roar of Derision (Gamma Variant)
Charges at the targeted point and roars, taunting all enemies near the area and decreasing any incoming damage by 25%.
Enrages an ally, increasing non-periodic damage as well as healing the target.
Sporogenesis (Squad Ability-HOT)
Emits cleansing spores in a medium area that heals Tork and all allies and cleanses them of any debuffs depending on the number.
Rampant Growth (Passive Ability)
An aura ability that increases the damage and healing of periodic abilities of Tork and nearby allies by 25%.
Patch 184.108.40.206
In patch 220.127.116.11, Tork's Sporogenesis ability was badly weakened. The patch made the ability only heal if there was a debuff, and if there was 1 debuff, it is 1/2 of original healing, 2 is original healing, 3 is 1.5 of original, and 4 is twice the maximum healing. This created quite an outrage and many, many topics but they were all subsequently locked. Many people relied on Sporogenesis, but many believed it was also overpowered. Some people were hit harder than others, but it affected everyone in terms of gameplay.
- Tork is one of the only heroes who does not have more than four limbs like Sage, Viper, and Arborus, who all have 6 limbs. He shares this trait with Savage.
- When Tork was first revealed, his muscular appearance led people to believe he was a Sentinel. However, developer input on the Darkspore forum confirmed that he was not. Taking into account similarities to other Ravagers, such as his dual blasters, and that he bore almost no similarities to other Tempests, Tork was classified as a Ravager by forumers and Wiki users. However, later developer input revealed him to be a Bio Tempest, on November 21, 2010.
- Tork's Early Concept didn't have the blasters on his arms nor did he have the mouth that had his gas mask.
- Tork is often considered a weak character, mainly because his Basic attack does no upfront damage and his generally slow movement. Because of this, Tork is usually only added to squads as a support character, the only ability of his players usually end up using is his Squad Ability for healing groups of allies. However, Tork is one of the best hit & run heroes in the game, because his Basic Attack stays on the ground, and if the enemy walks on the toxic pool while following Tork, they will get damaged, and if the player can do this for some time, the enemy will eventually die, with Tork taking no damage at all.
- Because none of Tork's abilities deals upfront damage, an Elite enemy with the Unstoppable Buff will render Tork completely useless. However, a new patch made this effect of Unstoppable buffs transfer over to Laser Tanks instead.
- Out of all the Torks, Tork Delta is the most popular. After him is Tork Alpha, then Tork Beta, then Tork Gamma.
- Since Tork deals no upfront damage, he no longer benefits from Enrage, and therefore his Delta variant is less useful on solo.
- Tork Beta's icon in Darkspore seemed to have an extra leaf on one side of his head, but it did not appear in the editor.
- The Decelerator Lieutenant has a gas mask just like Tork's.
- Without any edits, Tork Gamma seems to have the Pandemic Incubator equipped instead of the original Neuro-Spore Container.
- The fact that Tork wears a gas mask could suggest that not even he is immune to the toxicity of his spores.

Marketing Problem #3 – Digital Transformation of the Modern Corporation
This is #3 in a series of posts to address what the AMA has identified as "the seven big problems" confronting marketing today
- Effectively Targeting High Value Sources of Growth,
- The Role of Marketing in the Firm and the C-Suite,
- The Digital Transformation of the Modern Corporation.
- Generating and Using Insight to Shape Marketing Practice
- Dealing with an Omni-Channel World
- Competing in Dynamic, Global Marketing
- Balancing incremental and Radical Innovation
The 2016 PSAMA MarketMix conference was themed "Are You Ready for the Digital Revolution". We recognize that a mere revolution of current business strategies will not be enough to succeed in the future. .Forbes Magazine predicts that a complete digital transformation will become the key strategic thrust for most CEOs in the future.
But what is "digital transformation"?
The term has been used to describe many aspects of how a company is responding to new technologies and channel strategies. It is used to describe everything from a responsive mobile website to a newly formed social media strategy to a revamped IT approach.
In reality, digital transformation of a company must encompass much more than a single part of marketing or IT plan. It needs to involve all elements of the business to take advantage of what some have called the "digital transformation economy of the future".
According to Forrester, only 27% of today's businesses have a coherent digital strategy to perform as a true digital business. This number is predicted to double over the next five years, but companies must embrace the concept of a total corporate and business transformation now, in order to meet the changing consumer demand and the continued technological advances that will impact how we buy, sell and market products and services.
Here are some thoughts on how to begin this process.
Digital transformation will require integrating and consolidating all departments and functions of a corporation.
Marketing, sales and IT must come together to generate a single vision and strategy for how and why products and services will be offered and serviced to customers. All investments in IT and other functions must build on and contribute to this single-minded focus, that is based on optimizing the customer experience both pre and post sell.
Big data will be the foundation of creating an optimized customer experience.
Successful companies will find a way to harness and use the massive data that is available to develop new insights on how to personalize their products and services. As new data sources are discovered, digital transformation will require evaluation and adoption of new ways to meet customer needs based on these data streams.
The Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) will be catalysts for expanding digital interaction between companies and their customers.
Forecasters predict that by 2018, there will be more than 22 billion IoT devices impacting over 200,000 new apps and services. They also predict that we will see a shift in focus from gathering and mining data to creating new data streams to support customers in their buying decisions. By 2018, at least 20% of all workers will use "automated assistance technologies to make decisions, and robots will interact and supervise over 3 million workers worldwide.
Digital transformation will demand a culture change to work with new technology and create a business model change.
Simply adapting your current corporate structure will no t be enough. Companies and business leaders need to rethink how and why they go to market, and how to best integrate that structure to communicate and interact with customers. In a digital economy, a two-way communication with customers is required as customers control products, services, and interfaces. Shared communications will demand new business models for many companies, and will require they use social and other digital media to generate new insights on consumer needs and demands.
Digital transformation will be a continuous journey, not just tomorrow's destination.
Consumer behavior is constantly changing as new technologies and systems create new products and service capabilities. Companies must recognize and accept that their long term strategic approach needs to be constantly evaluated and updated for long term success. And how that understanding will affect their business model and corporate structure will be the true challenge for digital transformation.
We must avoid one-off thinking and recognize that true transformation is a project that will never end. That thought can either frighten you, or motivate you. The choice is yours.

You can find the link to my old blog here: https://jacob-reviews-books.blogspot.co.uk/ I've spent just over a year on blogspot but I've been toying with the idea of moving to WordPress for a while now, initially I was put off because I have a lot of content on my old website address and I didn't really want to abandon it. We'll see how it goes, I am still building my new website so it maybe a while before everything is up and running and I may still occasionally post reviews on my old blog address.

Residents at Seachange Riverside Coomera have celebrated their first Christmas party at the newly opened River House.
With the great weather and the stunning views of the Coomera River, it was the perfect setting for a wonderful evening. It was an occasion where not only neighbours but friends came together to share memories and tell stories of the past year.
The Christmas spirit was fully embraced by all residents of this growing community, who dressed up accordingly to the occasion and prepared delicious food to share with each other.
What better way to celebrate the start of the festive season than spreading good cheer among friends. We wish everyone a very merry Christmas and look forward to a 'bright' 2019.

Stapleton is now part of a national movement to promote literacy, a love of reading and a sense of community.
And it's all because of the Little Free Library.
The libraries are traditionally small boxes or containers packed with free books that anyone can borrow.
Brelle Rohwer put one in her front yard for the community to stop by, enjoy and leave a comment in the library's guestbook.
"And if people want to drop off books and there isn't room in the library, they can leave them in the milk box or on my front porch," she said. "I would love to have them, and I'll rotate the library books every once in a while."
Brelle installed the Little Free Library after hearing a story about one on the radio.
"I heard a story about little free libraries on NPR over the winter and thought it was a fabulous idea … especially with the location of our house, we get so much foot traffic," she said. "I was just waiting all winter to put one up."
When spring arrived, neighbors began to stop by the library's location at 28th Place and Spruce Street.
Her guestbook is already full of stories. "People have noted how excited they are to live in a neighborhood where people do this kind of thing," she said. "So many people are out and about. I had one note that said 'What a nice surprise to find this on my bike ride.'"
Brelle's library is stocked with 25 to 30 books that she "loved and wanted to share" – everything from Danielle Steel and Jack Kerouac to Toni Morrison and Tom Clancy.
"And I have some children's books in there too," she said.
Brelle moved to Stapleton three years ago and knew the library would work in her new neighborhood.
"Stapleton is populated by people who live here because they like the sense of community," she said. "This fits with that."

In Bric, People are resources that can be assigned to projects, and have to be added before you can plan projects. Also, adding People to Bric is not the same as inviting them as users. Read more about giving people access to Bric.
Note: Bric charges $7 per Person per month. The amount we charge is based on the number of People under management at the start of each monthly billing cycle.
Click on People under Settings.
The form on the right hand side of the page is how you add people under your company that can be assigned to projects. The person's name is mandatory, of course, but email is not required unless you plan on inviting them to have access to Bric in order to track their time.
After that, choose their role from a drop down list of preconfigured roles, or by adding a new role for them.
The next two fields ask for this person's billable rates for the client. Bric has suggested defaults for weekly hours and hourly rates, but these fields are editable to your specifications.
Finally, the annual salary is what you pay this person. Filling in the annual salary field automatically calculates the hourly cost.
The "Invite to Bric" checkbox underneath is crucial to select if this person needs access to the system. Check this box, and an email will be sent to the person asking them to create an account with Bric. Once they've signed up, they'll be able to track their time as needed. You can manage their permissions under Settings > Access.
Now you're ready to start project planning! Users and People alike can come together to make great things happen- just like Bric intended!

THE Livestock and Meat Commission for Northern Ireland's (LMC) Industry Development Manager, Colin Smith, has spoken out to remind consumers that they can eat red meat with pride.
LMC, together with other UK levy bodies, contribute funding to Meat Matters, an initiative which gathers information from a Meat Advisory Panel, made up of a group of healthcare professionals, scientists and researchers who provide independent information about red meat and its role as part of a healthy, balanced diet. LMC has been funding this initiative for over 10 years.
Mr Smith said: "Red meat produced in Northern Ireland and across the UK is a fantastic product. It is extremely encouraging to see the amount of work that goes on behind the scenes to accurately inform consumers and the media about the nutritional benefits of red meat. All too often it is the negative stories about red meat that reach the headlines.
"The team at Meat Matters continually examine media content for red meat references and is well placed to counter any misinformed negative press or to proactively distribute good news stories about red meat. Meat Matters gathers information from a Meat Advisory Panel, a group of healthcare professionals, scientists and researchers who can provide independent information about red meat and its role as part of a healthy, balanced diet."
This information is also used by LMC to inform its own work in schools, advertising campaigns and to keep promotional material up-to-date.
Mr Smith added: "As an industry it is important that we continue working to ensure the public are properly informed about the benefits of eating red meat and we must strive to dismiss the various myths surrounding the consumption of it."
Meat Matters is just one of the many initiatives that LMC oversees on behalf of the industry and is in addition to our promotional work and delivery of over 330 post-primary school cookery demonstrations throughout Northern Ireland.
Mr Smith continued: "We want to educate Northern Ireland consumers about the importance of buying local red meat. By purchasing Northern Ireland Farm Quality Assured beef and lamb, consumers have the assurance that the meat they're purchasing has been produced to the highest animal welfare standards, with care for the environment and is wholesome and free from unnatural substances.
"Looking to the future LMC will continue to stress the benefits of incorporating red meat into the diet through its breadth of business activities."

Superb advice! Thank you.ReplyDelete
Good advice Dianne. Any author who submits needs to become comfortable with querying. I'd just add that all queries need to contain a 'hook' of some sort - the key opener that draws the reader in. That's true for any genre.ReplyDelete

Kid Curry looked up from the gun he was cleaning and cast a glance across the hotel room.
His partner, Hannibal Heyes, clad only in his long-johns and Henley, sat crossed legged on the double bed staring at a notepad he rested on his left knee. In his right hand he held a pencil with which he now crossed out something on the pad. A brow furrowed above brown eyes. "Hmm," Heyes repeated.
Kid smiled and returned his attention to the parts of the Colt he had laid out before him on the table along with a cleaning cloth and gun-oil. Using the cloth he attended to the chamber.
"Somethin' troubling ya?" Kid asked without looking up from the Colt.
"I'm not sure," came the reply followed by the sound of a pencil scribbling on paper.
Kid applied some oil to the cloth and continued his work.
"Nope, nope, nope." A pencil scratched something out.
Kid shook his head and smiled but said nothing.
A heavy sigh issued from the direction of the bed. A pillow was pummelled into submission. The bedsprings creaked and Heyes settled himself back against the pillow, legs stretched out in front of him and continued to write. "Three plus two more here…no we'd need less if…but then we could use…" Scribble scratch. Tap, tap, tap. The pencil made repeated contact with the paper. "Hmm."
Slowly the Colt was reassembled. Kid gently squeezed and released the trigger.
Another heavy sigh emanated from his friend.
Placing his gun carefully on the table Kid turned to face the bed. "All right, Heyes what is it?"
The dark haired man gave his friend a puzzled look. "Huh?"
"You've been huffin' and puffin' over there like an ol' steam train. What's wrong?"
Pleased to have an audience, Heyes sat up straight. "You know how I told you there was always a formula for everything?"
"You may have mentioned it a time or two."
"Well, I hate to admit this but I could be wrong."
Kid raised an eyebrow. "You?"
Kid smiled. "Guess you are human after all."
"That's not funny and this is serious." Heyes moved to the edge of the bed and held up the notepad. "I've been trying to figure out how we can stop the train between Obsidian Falls and the Fowler Bridge."
"We can't."
"We can't?"
"Nope. Not with the men we've got." Heyes turned the pages of the notepad to reveal a crudely drawn map. Kid leaned forward to get a better view. "We need two on look-out, here and here." Heyes tapped the map twice. "Three to place the tree across the line, here." The map was tapped again. "Which means the train will have to be diverted here." Tap. "You can board the train here." Tap. "I'm waiting with the rest of the gang here." Double tap. "You deal with the engineer, we board the box car, I open the safe, then we need two more men to cover our escape, here." Tap. "Which means…" Heyes looked at his friend. "We need more men."
"I board the train?"
"Yeah." Heyes shook his head. "Kyle said he has a friend who might join us but knowing Kyle…"
"I board the train?" Kid repeated.
"Yeah. Do you know anyone who could…?"
"What do you mean I board the train?" Kid asked, incredulous. He leaned over the map and tapped it hard. "Here!" He read what Heyes had written. "Narrow gulch?" He met his friend's gaze. "Just how narrow is it? And why the heck am I boardin' the train on my own?"
"What's the matter?" Heyes asked, surprised by his friend's sudden hostility.
"What's the matter? You want me to board the train, on my own, in a narrow gulch!"
"That's the plan, yes."
"Since when?"
"Since I worked out we don't have enough men to carry out my original plan. You're going to have to deal with the engineer if the tree doesn't cause him to divert the train."
"And exactly how am I going to board the train in a narrow gulch? And before you answer that, Heyes, remember my gun is freshly cleaned and after you had me leap on a train roof that one time I made you a promise about what I'd do if you ever suggested it again."
Brown eyes held blue ones. Blue ones did not blink.
After what seemed like at least 10 seconds Heyes picked up his pencil, looked down at his writing and crossed something out. He looked back at his now satisfied friend, "It's like I said, Kid, it seems there isn't a formula for everything after all."

text: Bowhunter Online Staff - February 18, 2014 Tech Talk: What You Need to Know About Treestand Safety We here at Bowhunter know that every time we climb into a treestand we are taking a risk. Unfortunately, some are taking a far greater risk than others. However, the old tired complaints about safety systems being cumbersome, hard-to-use, or simply uncomfortable are no longer valid thanks to improvements by manufacturers like Hunter Safety Systems. The fact is, all of those issues have been solved.Mike Carney and Tony Peterson, our experts from Bowhunter TV, teamed up in this segment of Tech Talk to tell you what you need to know about treestand safety.Ameristep Brotherhood ClimberFrom Ameristep comes another great climbing stand choice — the new Brotherhood Climber. The sit-and-climb Brotherhood features a comfortable 13" x 15" sling seat design, aluminum construction, and safety lock cinch straps. At 21 lbs., the Brotherhood is a great option for sneaking into your favorite whitetail spots. Price: $300API Outdoors Alumi-Tech CrusaderAPI Outdoors has been in the climbing stand business for a long time, and their new Alumi-Tech Crusader Climbing Treestand is testament to their expertise. The aluminum Crusader has traction ridges on the platform for steady footing, and it's designed to be quiet and strong through the use of reinforced, closed triangular extrusions. The completely open design of the 22-lb. Crusader is conducive to bowhunting because it allows you to easily maneuver into position for a shot. Price: $200Gorilla Treestands Silverback Stealth HXGorilla Treestands is one of my favorite companies. I've used a host of their stands, and it's obvious they understand what hunters need and want in a product. This became even clearer when I got my hands on the Silverback Stealth HX Climber. The aluminum, 21.1-lb. Stealth HX Climber features Gorilla's patented Gorilla Grip pivoting arms, which fit trees ranging from 22" down to 8" in diameter. As with many of Gorilla's offerings, this climber has an oversized HX construction platform plus the comfortable XPE zero-G dual-density foam seat. Price: $250Lone Wolf Stands Wide Sit & Climb I've hunted out of the earlier version of Lone Wolf Stands' Sit & Climb in a pile of states over the past five years. It has been my designated public-land stand, and throughout countless sits I've developed one complaint: I always felt like the seat was too narrow, and that led to some discomfort on longer sits. Enter the new Wide Sit & Climb 'Combo ' II. The 21-lb. Wide Sit & Climb 'Combo ' II features a 21" wide seat, a 31" x 19.5" platform, and Lone Wolf's pivoting Sit & Climb bar. This stand is not cheap, but when you consider that the cost of ladder stands or hang-ons with climbing steps can add up to that price in a hurry (while offering far less portability), the price can easily be justified. Price: $450Summit Treestands Viper Elite SDIf you're considering a new climbing stand purchase, an obvious choice would be to go to the company that's been producing climbing stands longer than anyone — Summit Treestands. With several models from which to choose, their Viper Elite SD is a great option if you're in the market for a stand that hits the sweet spot between comfort and portability. To reduce the overall weight of the Viper Elite SD to a mere 16 lbs., the engineers at Summit used Round Tube Aluminum in its construction. Dead Metal Sound Deadening Technology makes it whisper quiet, and each Viper Elite SD is fitted with Summit's RapidClimb Stirrups — a favorite feature of mine. Price: $330Wicked Tree Gear Wicked Tough Tree SawLastly, I'd be remiss to not mention the Wicked Tough Tree Saw from Wicked Tree Gear. I've used this saw for over a year now, and the high-carbon steel blade is still scary sharp. I won't carry a climber into the woods without this saw in my pack; it's that good. From the blade-locking design to the cast-aluminum handle, this saw is a winner. In fact, my only complaint with Wicked is that they don't have a telescoping version yet. Price: $50X-Stand X-1 Sit & ClimbThe release of the X-1 Sit & Climb stand from X-Stand is evidence that you can 'reinvent the wheel. ' And while you're at it, you can make it lighter, quieter, and simply more fun to use. The X-1 Sit & Climb is exactly what I look for in a treestand. For starters, it is constructed with 6061 T6 aircraft aluminum, which allowed the engineers behind the design to trim the entire stand's weight down to a shade over 12 lbs. That would be considered lightweight for a hang-on, let alone a climber. The X-1 Sit & Climb features X-Stand's ingenious Flexible Fiberglass Arm Technology, which works to counterbalance your weight, making the platform steady no matter how far toward the edge you stand. Even the seat of the X-1 is unique in that it sits level with the arm bars — just like a hang-on stand's seat — keeping your rear end from slumping into uncomfortable positions.

Alexis Preller
Oil on Canvas
53.4 x 63.5cm
Signed: "Preller" (Lower/Right)
Dated: 1970
As a result of his South African birth and European art training, the work of Alexis Preller has multiple, international references. Although renowned for his "Grand Mapogga"(1957) series and the influence of Ndebele culture on his subject matter, Preller created works that also displayed his attraction to the Post-Impressionist styles of artists such as Gauguin and Van Gogh. As art historian, Hayden Proud explains, it was the Post-Impressionists' "use of bright arbitrary colour and their imaginative transformation of nature" that resonated the most with Preller's "own artistic impulses" (2015: Revisions).
"Wheatfields in the Wind"(1970) is one of Preller's most notable pieces in this regard, as the medallion-gold and tactile impasto movement of which the artist makes use is immediately reminiscent of Van Gogh's "Sunflowers"(1888). However, the work also evidences the inspiration that Preller drew from local artists, particularly Maggie Laubser and Irma Stern. Much like Stern, Preller communicates inward intensity through radically liberated brushstrokes and an exuberant, expressionist colour palette. Golden spurts of paint drip and protrude from the canvas; evoking the bold freedom of abstract expressionists, yet contained in such a way as to remain figurative, and representative of the "wheatfields" to which the title refers.
While the artist's own movement is embodied in the rightward force of golden paint, the black background focuses the viewer's attention on the imaginary wind that blasts the wheatfields across the canvas. Indeed, Preller has translated his interest in local and international painterly techniques into a work that is uniquely evocative of the artist's own style. In The Story of South African Painting, art historian Esmé Berman sheds light on Preller's distinctive style:
For complete appreciation of the intricacies of Preller's style, the viewer needs to be aware of his practice of repetition, adaptation and variation, by means of which his themes and visual devices are nourished and transformed (1975:139, own emphasis).
As further evidence of her appreciation of the artist, and as a tribute to the notable position Preller holds in South African art history, Berman, together with the acclaimed South African artist Karel Nel, published the book Alexis Preller: Africa the Sun and the Shadows. Since then, Preller's work has grown increasingly in acclaim, attaining higher and higher results on auction. As such, to own a Preller is of great significance — yet to own a piece that is as rare as "Wheatfileds in the Wind", is even more remarkable.

Where the elephant ears had taken over the garden at the edge of the patio next to the garage, was a perfect spot for another little transformation. They were so overgrown that not only did they obscure the English box but created a place for water to run down the leaves onto the patio, which defeats one of the reasons for having a pergola, (to protect it from the weather).
For some days and a fair amount of toil on my behalf, I even managed to move one of the large rocks from up in the back yard by using a trolley. The other larger rock needed more strength, which is where my husband came in handy. I put a fake plant in the corner under the eaves so that I don't have to water that area. Adding some little black river pebbles mixed with some slightly larger ones, the job is finished, and I am happy.

Name at birth: O"Shea Jackson
Ice Cube went from being an innovative and controversial rapper to being a movie star famous for the successful movies Friday (1995) and Barbershop (2002, with Cedric The Entertainer). Ice Cube co-founded the hip-hop group N.W.A. (Niggaz With Attitude) in the late 1980s, along with rapper Eazy-E and producer Dr. Dre. Their album Straight Outta Compton (1989) is considered one of the most influential rap recordings in history, and their brand of "gangsta rap" dominated hip-hop music into the early "90s. Ice Cube"s subsequent solo albums were just as popular, including Amerikka"s Most Wanted (1990), Lethal Injection (1993) and War & Peace, vols. 1 and 2 (1998-2000). His performance in the 1991 movie Boyz N the Hood (co-starring Laurence Fishburne) proved he also had the makings of a movie star, and now he"s been involved in over two dozen films as an actor, writer, producer and director (he has also directed several music videos). His other albums include Laugh Now, Cry Later (2006) and Raw Footage (2008), and his hit songs include "It Was a Good Day," "Go to Church" and "You Can Do It." His films include: Anaconda (1997, with Jennifer Lopez); Three Kings (1999, starring George Clooney); Ghosts of Mars (2001); Barbershop 2: Back in Business (2004); Are We There Yet? (2005) and xXx: State of the Union (2005, with Samuel L. Jackson).
Ice Cube has also recorded with Mack 10 and WC as the group Westside Connection, whose albums include Bow Down (1996) and Terrorist Threat (2003).

A Melbourne street performer harassed by notorious white nationalists has returned to Federation Square, with a large rally gathering in support.
Daniel Oldaker, who performs under the name Dandyman regularly around Melbourne, was targeted by a collection of far-right groups last week while performing in Federation Square. The group of men were walking through the area when they spotted Oldaker -- wearing a skintight pink outfit -- and aggressively approached him, accusing him of being a "paedophile" and "indecent exposure" because of the way he was dressed.
The far-right groups recorded the confrontation and posted video on social media.
Many people were gathered on steps watching Oldaker's performance, for which police later said he had a valid council permit. As the group of men circled and followed the performer, he called for police and a few audience members stepped in to challenge the far-right supporters. Police soon arrived and asked the men to move on, saying the performer was within his rights.
On Tuesday, Dandyman returned to Federation Square to perform his act. A large group of people gathered in a rally to support him.
"Do good in this world and good will happen," he told the audience, to cheers.
"We can do anything we like, we're allowed to do. Performing in the streets, in the theaters."
Fans clapped loudly as his act wrapped up, running in to embrace him in a big group hug.
Oldaker appeared on the The Project on Tuesday night to recount the terrifying moment he was ambushed.
"They appeared to my right and then I realised , OK, I have performed in 30 countries for the last 23 years and, I'm a pretty good judge of character... I had no idea that this was happening on this particular day. And so, yeah, I thought they must have been part of a football group or something, I had no idea," he said.
"It was going to turn and yeah, so I started walking away from them and then they got closer and that's when I felt threatened."
Oldaker said that while it was a difficult experience, he found hope in the support the public had given him.
"I just feel that, yeah, you want it feel safe in your community and Melbourne being obviously the most liveable city in the world you feel like, this is what I, you know, this shouldn't be happening, yeah. I want to feel comfortable," he said.
"It just made me realise that the public are there for us and more people are enjoying and are being part of the culture of Melbourne and that's the most important thing."
And he won't be giving up the bright pink unitard anytime soon.
"It is a parody on the culture of Australia and sport and swimming. It is a costume, you know. It's a traditional costume for, like, many years"

CONSTRAINTS: 1) The host page for the content -- namely, podcasts_dev_copy.php is structurally complete.

G9 Travel Guide to Shanghai: Window Washers
May 19, 2011
Just a quick follow-up to the previous post. Ever wonder who actually cleans some of the tallest buildings in the world?
These guys do. On tiny little planks supported by thin woven ropes and non-certified harnesses, oh and don't forget the attached bucket. Definitely not for the faint of heart. These guys are hardcore.

We created buzzsurvey to help removals companies win and convert more leads. And in our years working in the moving industry, we've learnt a thing or two about leads
Here are six of our top tips for turning the water of an enquiry into the wine of a paid job.
1. Some simple housekeeping
It's vital that you are aware of a lead as soon as it reaches your inbox, so it's a good idea to set up an email alert on your phone. If you only check your emails periodically then this first step is especially important, as any delay between you receiving the lead and contacting the customer may result in the customer opting for a removal service that was quicker to the punch.
You should also ensure that you are not calling from a private number, as some customers may ignore, or even block, such calls.
2. Early bird catches the lead
To give yourself the best chance at converting, you should always aim to be the first service to contact the customer. Use all three means of contact (phone, text and email) as soon as you receive the lead to increase the likelihood of the customer choosing your company for the job
If you're too busy to type out an email or message, try your best to phone the customer ASAP as this is traditionally the best way of converting a lead.
3. No answer? Keep trying
If the customer doesn't answer or respond immediately, don't assume that they've chosen another service or are no longer wishing to move. In all likelihood, the customer is simply busy at the time or away from their phone, and if you keep trying you'll soon get through to them.
4. A home survey goes a long way…
We know that it can be difficult to quote for a job without having visited the property yourself. This is why we recommend carrying out a home survey so that you can set the price accordingly. This gives you a better idea of the volume of the move, if there are any awkward steps, available parking and other variables.
Importantly, this also gives you a chance to sell your service in person, making it more likely that you get the job.
Of course, these days a more efficient option is to carry out a video survey. This is where you call a prospect on their smart phone. They open the survey app on their phone, and they connect with your surveyor on a video call.
This gives your surveyor the chance to create that close personal connection, before getting your prospect to show them around the property. You'll see exactly what they need to move, and you'll be able to calculate the volume later by reviewing the recorded video of the call.
Our video survey clients are reporting an average conversion rate from video to job of around 40% – almost the same as face to face, and for a lot lower cost.
Hear from movers that are using buzzsurvey in our buzzsurvey case study section.
5. Send that quote over
As soon as you are in a position to offer a quote, go ahead and do it.
Nobody likes hidden charges, so be upfront with your customer and give them a breakdown of the quote if possible. If they are reluctant to accept the price and terms immediately, let them know that you'll give them a call once they've had a chance to think about it, and that you're available to answer any questions which they may have.
6. The follow-up call…
Now that the customer has your quote, it is vital that you make the follow-up call. This is your chance to answer any queries that the customer may have, and the best opportunity to clinch the job.
To summarise:
- Set up an email alert on your phone, and ensure that you are not calling from a private number
- Contact the customer immediately, using all available forms of contact
- If the customer doesn't respond or answer, keep trying. Chances are they are busy
- Always try and book a home or video survey
- Send a quote as soon as you can, and include all charges
- Make a follow up call, and confirm the job
buzzsurvey is committed to transforming moving firms through technology. We can help you win more business, at lower costs, through a combination of face-to-face and video surveying.

SeThey removed 11 overgrown shrubs, shredding them on site. These shrubs were approximately 10-15 ft. tall. The process went very smoothly and in a orderly fashion. Care was taken when removing the shrubs not to interfere with power lines on property, etc. The clean up afterwards was quick and efficient, removing all branches and debris.
Mr. G., Pompton Plains, NJ
The crew that took down my massive tree worked like a well oiled machine. The day they took down that monster was not a nice day. They worked thru the pouring rain without complaint. In my estimation you could not find a more diligent crew.
If you need tree work done, these are the guys and gal you want to work for you.
The tree top guy was awesome (nerves of steel) and the crane operator was an artist, he really knows what he is doing. This is definitely the A team.
Mr. B., Wayne, NJ
I'm letting you know that I was extremely pleased with the job that was done by your company.
The service men that came were very pleasant and very good at what they were doing.
They took precautions with the surrounding area to make sure nothing would be damaged.
They came the time they said they would come and the job was done in a timely fashion.
An extremely professional group of people.
I would highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a good dependable tree service

Excel Gains JavaScript User Defined Functions
Frederic Lardinois, writing for TechCrunch:
Microsoft is launching a couple of features to Excel today that make the ubiquitous spreadsheet software a bit more powerful. Among the new features is support for Azure Machine Learning and custom JavaScript functions to Excel to extend its capabilities.
Developers could already write their own complex scripts with Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). There are some advantages to using JavaScript, though, not in the least its popularity and ability to easily connect to third-party services, but also the simple fact that these functions can run on any platform. Microsoft first tested custom functions through the Office Insider Program, and it's now ready to roll it out to a wider audience.
The instructions seem a little convoluted at this stage 1, but I'm keen to try this out.
It is early access. ↩

A partner who misunderstands us or who seems to do things in a way which doesn't make sense to us can drive us crazy. Counselling clients often express enormous frustration with the way their partner does or says things.
These kinds of differences can lead to real problems in the relationship. People often feel their partner is making things deliberately hard for them by their behaviour or words. Often people feel quite hurt by what comes out of their partner's mouth.
One example is the person who 'says things as they are'. This can feel rude or blunt to their partner. Sometimes it feels intentionally hurtful.
So what is going on?
The most common difficulty couples face – and one of the least understood – is differences in Personality Type.
Carl Jung, famous for his pioneering work in psychology, described the different Types in the early 20th Century. Recently, work in neuroscience (examining the function of the brain using sophisticated scanning), confirms the existence of different Types.What does this mean?
Basically, it means that at birth our brains are set to operate in specific ways unique to us. Some of us, for example, tend to favour thinking over feeling, for others, it's the opposite. When I say 'favour', this is not a conscious choice. One way to think about it is that it is like the way in which we favour one hand over the other – we're either Lefties or Righties.
These 'preferences' as we usually describe them, determine how we behave. The example of the 'thinking' person in relationship with the 'feeling' person can lead to some painful experiences.
'Thinking' Types tend to state things objectively or logically. Often they don't think to take into account a person's feelings, so they can say things which are hurtful to another person, without intending to.
A 'Feeling' Type will often say things in a way which can feel emotionally overwhelming to a Thinking Type.
Understanding our own Type, and that of our partner, can help us develop ways of communicating with each other which are more productive and avoid many of the difficulties couples experience.
In my practice I use Psychological Type work with couples where this is appropriate and help them develop tools to deal with the differences between them.
I will write further posts exploring this issue of Psychological Type.

Wow, It's been a Long Time: SOL 2019
Morning Slicers,
This is my first slice since September 11, 2018. My life has taken such interesting turns and spontaneously, after a long weekend of just a bit of snow but seriously freezing temps I am back here… on this blog and creating a Slice.
I've just returned from an amazing month in Thailand(Dec. 20) and for the last week I've been focused on creating some video pieces that document that month. I have more to share but for now, those pieces reflect amazing adventures I was lucky enough to have with a new buddy, Kim White.
I can't wait to catch up with you….
Here's my pieces if you have the time and curiosity,
It's Tuesday and I've been Away a Long TIme :)
Morning Slicers,
July has been a great month! Actually late June- July. On June 23 I left for Cambodia with my two great friends/teachers and their principal and 12 of their students and I was gone for 12 days and the adventure was better than I could have imagined. Then (how's this for perfect timing?) a week to deal with Jet Lag and then about week to co-facilitate a writing workshop with the Hudson Valley Writing Project to create a new digital story… and now for a chill week ahead.
So here's what I have to share:
So it's nice to be back and I can't wait to catch up with you.
