Happy New Year! Yes, I know I said that last time, and I'm saying it again – for a very good reason. All will become clear. We all blether on from time to time about consequences, usually those of staying out too late, or watching just one more episode on that DVD, or the one more doughnut that-surely-wouldn't-hurt. But in this regard we'd probably be better off using a more appropriate word: regret. The actual word 'consequence' has been superseded by another, more explosive word – fallout.
It doesn't matter what the word or action is, there will always be consequences; there will always be fallout. Of course, things like social media have amplified this up to the nth degree. Essentially though, putting your foot in it, or saying / doing something stupid / dangerous / ill advised 'for a laugh' or because you're cheesed off with someone / something is a concept as old as feet or mouths.
Example 1: A number of years ago I was out with a friend, her husband and her small son. We were in a small market town in the south of England, which had a real butchers shop. As it was the boy's birthday that weekend, my friend and her husband asked me to take the little boy into the butchers shop to buy some sausages while they went to buy him a birthday present. All very secret, hush-hush.
So into the shop I dutifully went with this three-year-old child hanging on my hand. The shop was crowded; there were shelves and packages everywhere. It was unusual in that it had two of those big glass display counters. In one unit was the standard array: mince, chops, chicken legs et cetera. In the other was a side of beef. And I mean an entire side of beef. It spread along the whole counter. Being at his eye level, the little boy (let's call him Bob) was immediately drawn to the scene of carnage.
"What that?" asked young Bob.
"Beef." I said.
He repeated his question. I repeated my answer. He tried the question again, slightly more forcefully this time. I thought I couldn't really unleash the truth on such a small child. However his insistence left me with no option.
"What that?" came the question again.
"It's half a dead cow. Okay?"
At that point, I had to take him hurriedly out of the shop as he burst into tears rather loudly. I did not tell his parents exactly what had happened: only that he had gotten a little fractious in the shop. The consequences only made themselves apparent a few years later.
Fast forward four years and one sibling later. I was at the christening of their second child. Bob was now seven years old. The proud parents gave a speech about welcoming the new baby to the family. In particular, they were singing the praises of young Bob, who apparently was the ideal older brother. He was a young man of honour and conviction. For example, out of the blue, at the age of three, he had decided to become a vegetarian, and still was one…
I shrunk down in my seat and said nothing…
I have my own scary butchers shop story, which left me with Spectrophobia – you'll hear about that next time.
Example 2 – and this is where I was leading with my initial salutation. 'Calan Hen' is a Welsh tradition that is celebrated on the 6th January. It's when the Christmas decorations come down, and you have to stop telling people 'Happy New Year', because the New Year just ain't that new any more.
That's what my mother told us.
Deciding to read up on this nationwide tradition, I uncovered something quite alarming.
None of it is true.
Calan Hen is indeed a celebration of the old New Year, just not what we were all brought up with. It started back in 1752 when the British dumped the old Julian calendar in favour of the new and shiny Gregorian calendar. Consequence? 11 days got lost. The previous New Year's Day fell on what was now January 12.
But, undaunted, January 12th continued to be celebrated (two for the price of one, if you like), with children going from house to house with apples skewered with sprigs of holly, wishing the householders Blwyddyn Newydd Dda (I'll leave you to work that one out!!) and collecting calenning (a few coins) as a reward for their good wishes. Oh, and of course there was the football match between one village and the next, with the churches of each serving as goalposts. I think they still do it, although in these days of Health & Safety, less people end up dead or maimed.
And there was something else, too. It wasn't a nationwide celebration at all. It is a celebration that is exclusive to my home village. Which explains a lot of weird looks I got years later from fellow Welshies that I met.
So, be careful what you say or do – it might just come back and bite you on the bum…
Talking of bums and consequences: on a lighter note, I had one thing happen to me today that (I think) had a positive consequence, if rather painful. I had gone to the market to stock up on all the ingredients I need for my A+ juice and as usual overdid it a bit. So, as I bent over to put things into my rucksack, someone whacked me sharply on the backside. Standing up, I was expecting to see one of my friends. Imagine my surprise to see a completely unknown and random female grinning at me.
"You're a cute little minx," she said, "you do know that, don't you?"
Consequence? I'm gonna have a bruise tomorrow, but it still made my day!!

By now, all of you lovely readers should know that we here at Partners in Fire are on a dedicated quest for financial independence. But what does that mean? What are the basics of fire? If you've ever asked yourself what the Fire Fundamentals are, this post is for you! We're going to talk about the basic concept of Financial independence and define some of the different terms you may see thrown around the PF community. After reading this, you will totally be ready to get your fire on!
The Basics of Fire
We are going to start with the basics. What is Fire? You will usually see it written as an acronym – FI/RE. I shorten it to Fire because hashtags don't understand that a backslash is part of the word; and because it's easier to type. FI/RE stands for Financially Independent/Retired Early. Basically, it means that you can afford your life without having to work a job. It means living your life on your own terms, not on some employer's terms. It's a lofty goal indeed, but I think it's achievable for many people.
Types of Fire
There are a few different terms that are thrown around the FI/RE world, and they can be confusing. For example, I recently learned that I have enough money in my 401K to be Coast Fire for a Lean Fire. What does that mean? It sounds like gibberish, doesn't it? Trust me, it's not.
Coast Fire
Coast Fire means that you have enough money in savings to have a comfortable withdrawal rate when you reach 65 years old. It means that you no longer have to contribute to your retirement account. However, you don't have enough money to live off before you reach retirement, so you still have to work. Reaching Coast Fire is a great goal post, especially because nobody wants to be destitute when they are at retirement age.
Coast Fire is generally calculated based on expected returns. For example, I'm at Coast Fire in my 401K right now, but that's only because I have thirty years for it to grow. If I magically became 65 tomorrow, I wouldn't be able to retire. Coast Fire takes expected returns into consideration.
Barista Fire
Many people consider Barista Fire to be basically the same as coast fire. They call it Barista Fire because you just have to go work at a coffee shop to pay your basic living expenses. In my personal opinion, there is a slight difference between Coast FI and Barista FI. With Coast FI, you probably have to stay at your crappy job that you are trying to escape in order to afford your living expenses. In my view, Barista FI means you can take a stress-free part time job to pay for your living expenses. I may be the only person in the world who differentiates between the two, but I think it's an important distinction!
Lean Fire
Lean Fire means being financially independent on forty thousand dollars per year or less. The people who do this are your frugal warriors, your minimalists, and your extreme couponers. These people are freaking amazing savers! They prove that you don't have to be rich to be financially independent. Lean Fire is a viable option for tons of people!
So, when I say that I'm at Coast Fire for a Lean Fire, it means that if I stop contributing to my 401K right now, when I'm 65 years old I'll be able to withdraw forty thousand dollars per year and be ok. This is assuming that my investments yield decent returns for the next 30 years.
Passion Fire
Ok, I made this one up. But passion fire is definitely the fire for me! It means that you are pursuing financial independence so that you can stop chasing a paycheck and start pursuing your passions! Who wouldn't be into that? It might mean that you are still working for a paycheck (just like barista fire) but you are doing it for something that moves and inspires you.
Paths to Fire
There are thousands of paths to Fire. Some people know they want Fire before they even head to college. They scrimp and they save and they work through college, get amazingly high paying jobs upon graduating, and work their tails off for 10 years to call it quits in their 30s. Others are happy being Lean Fire. They work and save and live off the land as much as possible, so they don't have to rely so much on money. Still others set up side hustles to get there. Everyone's idea of why they want Fire is different, so everyone's path to Fire is different. The only thing that really matters is whether or not your path works for you.
This blog outlines my Path to Fire . But my goals aren't your goals, and my path to Fire may not be your path to Fire. That's ok! It's all about sharing in the journey and supporting each other on our different paths. Maybe part of our journey will inspire you, maybe not.
How do I start?
Well, you are reading a blog post about the different types of Fire, I think that's a great start! Next, check out the Spirit of Financial Independence and start exploring why you want freedom and how you want to achieve it. It's a terrifying to start such an epic journey, but you won't be disappointed!
Looking for more information on Fire? Check on the Reddit page for financial independence, that's where I first learned about Fire! (feel free to share my blog on Reddit while you are there!)
Did you find this quick break down of Fire fundamentals helpful? Is there something that I missed? Let me know in the comments!

Pseudocyesis: What Exactly Is A False Pregnancy?
Pseudocyesis or false pregnancy is also known by many as phantom pregnancy. The woman feels that they are pregnant seeing the false symptoms like gain in weight, morning sickness, growing belly, and backache. These are the common signs that you see when you are pregnant, just that here the woman is not pregnant.
Women tend to know that they are pregnant even when they do not take a test. This is because of her intuition. In phantom pregnancy, the woman's body tells her that she is pregnant even though she is not.
Couvade is the medical term that is when a man feels that his partner is having to deal with the pregnancy symptoms even though she is not actually pregnant.
Causes of Pseudocyesis?
Pseudocyesis is a rare thing in men and women and doctors are still trying to find out the reason for the same. Some think that the condition is physical and many feel that this is caused because of psychological reasons.
Pseudocyesis is also believed to be caused because of a trauma which could be either a mental or physical trauma. It could also be caused because of some physical imbalance. This could be because of the loss of a child, miscarriage or infertility.
Other causes could be ovarian tumors and some imbalance in the brain that makes the body think that the woman is pregnant.
The major cause of Pseudocyesis, however, is that the woman so much wants to be pregnant that she tries to convince herself mentally that she is carrying a baby when she actually is not. Infertility and menopause could be reasons why she is not getting pregnant and this could make her believe that she is pregnant when she is not.
Many women who are nearing their menopause tend to have Pseudocyesis. Women who develop Pseudocyesis start to think that they have morning sickness and feel that their urination frequency is increasing. She may also feel that she has swollen breasts and a swollen belly.
What are the signs of a false pregnancy
The women who suffer from Pseudocyesis believe that they are pregnant because they see some symptoms of pregnancy. The symptoms are the same as atypical pregnancy. This could include missing the periods, weight gain, increase in the frequency of urination, change in the color of the hair and the skin, morning sickness, etc.
The woman feels very uncomfortable and if you think that you have Pseudocyesis then the only way to confirm that you are not pregnant is to do a physical examination.
Since the symptoms of Pseudocyesis are very similar to normal pregnancy, it is important for the doctor to ensure that the pregnancy is not a real one but a fake one. The tests that are done to confirm a real pregnancy is done to confirm a Pseudocyesis.
The pelvic examination is done to see if there is any conception. This is followed by a urinalysis. This will usually give a negative result until women are suffering from rare cancer. The woman will also go through an ultrasound that is used to find out if the pregnancy is true or not. This is the only test that will confirm if the woman is or is not pregnant.

- 8.2. POM Cleanup
Optimizing a multimodule project's POM is best done in several passes, as there are many areas to focus on. In general, we are looking for repetition within a POM and across the sibling POMs. When you are starting out, or when a project is still evolving rapidly, it is acceptable to duplicate some dependencies and plugin configurations here and there, but as the project matures and as the number of modules increases, you will want to take some time to refactor common dependencies and configuration points. Making your POMs more efficient will go a long way to helping you manage complexity as your project grows. Whenever there is duplication of some piece of information, there is usually a better way.

Apart from suggesting the venue option wedding event management companies also look after other major aspects of wedding when it comes to decorations, hospitality, food, logistics, entertainment and a lot more.
Flowers are essential elements when it comes to Indian weddings. Few wedding functions have Indian flowers like marigolds, roses, mogra and few have English flowers like orchids, tulips, and others and few have a combination of the two. Wedding venues in Rajasthan are beautiful, and having the right flowers décor can make these more surreal, elegant and graceful. Online wedding planner will suggest a number of options to use flowers in conventional and off beat and new ways for your big day. Flowers have incredible ability to make any area feel more soothing, positive and fresh and these also make up for a good backdrop for photographic memories.
Wedding event management companies suggest that choosing the right flowers will make the wedding celebration grand and splendid in every way. The kind of flowers you choose depends to a great extent on the time of the function (whether day or night) as well as the overall color scheme and décor elements used. We suggest having Marigolds and mogra for traditional Mehendi function with Rajasthani carnival theme, Tulips and orchids for contemporary Sangeet and a combination both for your big day in Rajwada themed wedding day.
Hope these tips for using flowers in wedding venues in Rajasthan are helpful. For further assistance, get in touch with us at +91 9680555187.

Sandra is a designer/artist that graduated from the Maastricht Academy of Fine Arts and Design, where she completed the course for product design.
Her graduation project was in ceramics, where she recreated the style of Raku firing into her own product line. Using food to create different patterns, every object is unique.
Ever since I could hold a pencil, I was drawing and coloring. During the years of growing up my drawing improved and the more I became confident with my creative hands. I knew that the art academy was in my future...
When my journey started at the academy I was sure I would end up with a degree in painting. But as life is as unexpected as it is, the years of academy directed me to Product Design, where I learned that my hands can do a lot more than drawing.
During my internship at a pottery workshop I came in contact with the designing of ceramics, where I was instantly addicted to the process of firing. It was only natural to do my final exam in Raku firing, the most primitive way of firing ceramics.
Making people love the traditional craftsmanship of Raku firing again. Every pattern is different, every shape is unique and no product is the same.
When you purchase one of my products, I hope you enjoy every moment of it. When you look at it, when you touch it, when you use it.
My ideal would be that my designs would create a feeling of bliss, with every person that encounters them.

When computers for personal use were introduced in the 1970s, it was common practice that the computer's hardware and its main operating software (which, back then, usually involved not much more but a simple command line driven interface for standard I/O operations or a BASIC interpreter) were delivered by the same company. As a full package, the combination of hardware and software made up "the computer". Even during the 80s, when computers became much more powerful and hence useful to end users, computer companies from the early days still hold true to the basic principle of developing their own hardware and software. Think of the Mac, the Commodore Amiga, the Atari ST or the countless other computer systems of the time, all of which were made unique not only because of their hardware specs, but mainly because of the things the computer's operating system would let the machine actually do.
There was of course one other company, which thought up a business model that was rather different. This company solely devoted itself to developing only the operating system, which it would license to any hardware manufacturer that was willing to pay for it. Obviously, this company's flagship product, MS-DOS, became rather popular and soon evolved into the defacto standard for computer operating software. Although the system was among the least advanced of all operating software efforts of that time, as a result of not capable of doing much advanced stuff it required inexpensive hardware to run on. This quickly lead to a huge growth in sales, and hence in the availability of third party sofware. Microsoft laid the groundworks of its imperium, and formed the foundation for spin-offs of their popular DOS operating system in the form of its many Windows iterations. The companies that sold these DOS- and Windows-compatible computers (increasingly refered to as "PCs") basically had no possibilities to differentiate themselves from their competitors on other things but price.
The general public quickly embraced this world of interchangeable, compatible and low priced computers, which in less than a decade lead to the fall of all computer companies that sticked with their proprietary hardware and software combinations. Most went bankrupt, in many cases after a short while of trying to jump on this PC bandwagon themselves. All companies, but one. Only Apple kept faitfull to its idea that a computer product is more than a generic piece of hardware equiped with a generic operating system. To them, the combination was more than the sum of its parts: by ingeniously crafting the hardware and software to work as tightly integrated as possible, they kept themselves alive in a world where all of their competitors had long given up.
Microsoft invented the "operating system as an OEM-product" and "operating system as an after market product" propositions, and became so successfull with it, that roughly 9 out of 10 of the world's current computers run an iteration of their operating software. It is interesting to note however, that Microsoft is the only company that I know of which markets a proprietary, in-house developed operating system to third party hardware vendors. There is no other company that does the same thing (I don't count the various Linux-distributions of recent years, as they are not developed by a single company nor marketed on the terms of a single company).
Because 90% of the world's computers run an operating system that was not developed by the company that made the computer hardware, many people became familiar with the Microsoft business model. So much, in fact, that they began to believe that this practice (letting one company create the hardware and another one the software) is the only valid and ethical way of doing business in the computer world. They completely ignore the fact that, in the view of others, in order to present a customer with a complete and polished user experience, the hardware and software should not be seen as individual parts that can obtained from anyone, but rather as an integrated product developed by a single group of people.
In today's world, Apple is the only major player left which markets its computer products based on this principle. This is a rather perplex finding on its own, as one would imagine that other companies would see the competitive benefits of developing and marketing their own fully in-house designed computer product. Alas, a practice that was common in the 70s and 80s has now died out, with the sole possible exception of that little company in Cupertino, California. Apart from some exceptions in its past (mainly during the period of Steve Jobs's absence), it never sold computers with an operating system it did not develop itself, nor did it sell its operating system to other hardware manufacturers. This strategy makes Apple unique in the world, and proved to be very, very successfull for the company, both in terms of money (Apple is one of the richest computer companies) and product quality and user experience (Apple is generally considered to deliver the most well-crafted pieces of computer equipment in the industry).
However, as I said, many companies have grown so accustomed to the Microsoft-model of independent hardware and operating software sales, that they feel that Apple should do the same with their Mac OS X system: license it to other hardware companies. Of course, this would totally abandon Apple's one and foremost advantage over its competitors. First, it would make their line of Macintosh-computers lose their prime unique selling point, and second, it would force them to create software to run on the wide variety of hardware platforms so that they would have to give up on the advantage of "knowing your system" to take maximum advantage of it. In short it would lead to an inferior product from both a commercial as well as a quality point of view.
It makes me wonder what people are thinking when they suggest that opening up OS X to other companies would benefit Apple, as it obviously would only lead to the problems that I stated above. However, what really hits me is when people say that Apple "has no right" to "keep its OS to itself". It saddens me that those people have such a short term memory in that they forgot that combining hardware and software was common practice, until that one company successfully changed this idea. The Microsoft-way of thinking became so dominant that they now blame other companies, with other strategies, for not following Microsoft's example.
I often think of other industries when discussing this issue. When I buy a car from the Ford Motor Company, I have no choice but to buy a completed product. I cannot "demand" from Ford to deliver me just the chassis of the car, since I inted to buy the engine from Renault and the wind shields from Volvo. If Ford, Renault and Volvo decide not to market individual pieces from their vehicles so that I can assemble my own car, I just have to respect that. Everybody undestands this.
But even in a slighly more computer-related comparison: What if I would ask Nintendo to deliver me the operating software from their Wii console, so that I could run Wii titles on the hardware of my liking? Or what if I like the menus and interface of my Philips TV, so I ask the company to sell me the software so that I could implement it in my Sony TV?
Almost everybody would understand that it's up to the manufacturer of a product to decide whether or not they want to sell parts of their products individually, or just as a complete end product. And almost everybody would respect this company's decision. However, due to the Microsoft doctrine, many people seem to believe that this does not hold true for a computer company and its hardware and software components.
And now, partly due to the fact that Apple switched to Intel-architecture in their computers several years ago, we have arrived at a time when several small startup companies are trying to bend public opinion and legal clarification to their benefit by selling computers bundled with the Mac OS X operating system.
Apple explicitly sells OS X retail copies for users of Apple branded Macintosh computers to upgrade their OS to the latest version, and it states this requirement in the End User License Agreement (EULA) that comes with the OS X product. Some of these companies argue that, at least according to EU legislation (which often tends to favor the consumer), a company cannot restrict what a customer can do with a product after he or she has bought it. In other words: When someone legally buys a retail copy of Mac OS X, he should be able to with it whatever he wants, including installing it on non-Apple hardware.
Although the verdict is still out on the legal value of these claims (both in the US with Psystar as the main vendor of Mac-clones, and in the EU with the new contender PearC from Germany), it got me thinking. If the fact that Mac OS X is sold as a boxed retail copy in the stores is in fact a large contributor to the believe of these companies that they can bundle these lawfully obtained DVDs with their non-Apple products, then why wouldn't Apple simply stop selling OS X as a physical product trough retail?
The next version of the Mac OS, called Snow Leopard, will be a strange duck anyway. It is merely considered an upgrade to the current Leopard system. It will include a lot of under the hood optimizations to benefit from the current multi-core CPUs and the increasing, but often idle power of a systems graphics processor, as well as better integration with Microsoft Exchange servers, but it offers little to no "visible" new end user features. As a result, there has been a lot of debate in the Mac community on how Apple should sell this new version to its customers. Most agree that the usual upgrade fee of $129 is probably to much to ask for in this case. Should Snow Leopard be a free upgrade, of perhaps sell for a less than the usual fee? As Snow Leopard will most likely break the current pricing tradition, why not break with another tradition as well: the boxed retail version.
In this day and age, most people have a fast internet connection, so that it would be easy to deliver the upgrade over the wires. Most Apple customers already have an Apple ID for usage with the iTunes and App Stores, so the payment infrastructure for a digital delivery of Snow Leopard is already largely in place. And even if a user, for one reason or another, is unable or unwilling to download the entire upgrade over the Internet, Apple could set up a mail delivery program so that after the online payment is made, a user could request a DVD to be delivered to his house for a small handling fee. Compare this to the exchange program that Apple had in place for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, where users could requests CDs instead of the DVD that was in the box, in case they had no DVD drive.
In any way, this would eliminate the sale of the next version of Mac OS X to people who do not yet own a Mac computer. As a result, there is simply no way for Mac cloning companies to bundle a legally obtained retail copy of Mac OS X with their computers.
When done right, this should not harm sales. Every potential buyer of a Mac OS X retail pack already owns a Mac, so in essence every potential sale can be treated as an "upgrade" from the version that is currently installed on the Mac (please note the huge benefit that Apple has in this respect due to its combined hardware/software business model). And even the in-store impulse buy can be taken care of by selling "upgrade packs" that essentially contain nothing more than an authorization code to initiate the download (comparable to the current retail box for Apple's MobileMe service). Just don't put a DVD in a box that might give others the false idea of freedom to do with it whatever they want, such as bundling it with non-Apple hardware.
Please note that I fully understand that this would not impact the home tinkering of users trying to install Mac OS X on their PCs. These so-called "Hackintosh" projects will surely keep existing. However, also in these cases it is important to note that there is no way these users could have legally obtained a copy of OS X to run on these unauthorized machines, as OS X would simply no longer be available as an after-market product. This would make Apple's case much stronger should it come to a court battle. But I think that this is not as much of a concern for Apple as is the sale of computers pre-equipped with Mac OS X. A court decision in favor of these companies completely destroys the entire business model that the company has built in 30+ years, with obvious dramatic effects.
Snow Leopard will bring some interesting times. Not only will it advance the world's most innovative computing platform to yet again unseen levels of user satisfaction. I also think that Snow Leopard will mark an entirely new way for Apple to distribute major upgrades of its OS to its customers.

Used by companies to promote their products and services, SEO services have become a vital part of 21st Century business practices. In a Searchmetrics 2016 study into ranking factors, there was an "extremely high" correlation between social signals and Google rankings. However, this couldn't be accredited to the algorithm, but rather to the "overlap between brand websites performing strongly in social networks and being allocated top positions by Google." It is not known how many users out there use the Google Toolbar, but the authors believe that they number in the millions. Google can track the entire web surfing behavior of these users. Higher prices shouldn't be used to reward loyalty, but you can use price premiums as a way to offset the costs of rewarding loyalty. Creating and launching a fully-fledged website is not enough to get your brand noticed by itself. In order to improve your online visibility, you will need to carry out SEO (search engine optimization) practices.
The secret behind gateway sites
It's not enough to just know your keywords. You must use them in the right way to fully develop long-term SEO value. The best tactics include assigning one keyword to each page on your website and optimizing that page using on-site SEO best practices. That way you always publish SEO friendly posts and page content. The basis of this approach was the the belief that many business people make decisions in a rational, The higher your site ranks in the search engines the more visitors you will get from them. Search engines focus on keywords: the words that people type into a seach engine when looking for something. Your aim is to make sure that your site ranks well for the keywords relevant to your site. If a page ranks well and Google finds it a manipulative use of duplicate content, Google can demote the page if it wants to. What keywords would my customer or target audience use to describe what they want?
Can doorway sites really make a difference?
This is no longer the case. Consumer product manufacturers spend more on trade promotions directed toward retailers. Google Analytics provides a tool that shows the visible content of a web page in different browsers and screen resolutions. The planning and strategy phase answers some fundamental questions based on the output of the research phase. Buyers using search engines to look for information tend to trust and follow links displayed in the editorial section of the search-results page.
Taboos about rankings that you should know
Gaz Hall, from SEO Hull, had the following to say: "What would you type into a search engine to find your business website or page?" The other strategy that I strongly prefer is to obtain local links in the areas where you want to serve, by becoming a part of that community. Without good rankings, you will not get any traffic. Make sure that your site's structure and hierarchy are as clear and logical as possible, with your homepage as the "root" page (the starting point). Crowdsourcing involves outsourcing the creative aspect of an advertisement or campaign to the public.
Myths and misconceptions about quality
Every site has a sphere of relevance. If your business is presenting stock images as an actual representation of your business, then your potential customers are more likely to think that you are faking your online personality. Thin content, however, will do the exact opposite and should be avoided at all costs. Good SEO consultants are hard to locate and they are even harder to hire. This is because there aren't a lot of high-quality SEO consultants available for hire. There are lots and lots of bad SEO consultants or young entrepreneurs who think they know SEO. The strongest SEO programs are organized machines running in concert with the marketing and development departments.
Try to target a hungry crowd by paying attention to site submissions
I'm a go-getter type who comes from a place of yes when trying new things, so I say yes - let's assume it matters! A budget becomes finalized when the company marketing team specifies how funds will be spent on each of the major communications tools. The internet has changed the ways individuals communicate and how the world conducts business. Google can detect well-written content, and can detect poor quality content, or unoriginal text. Stay above the fold.

Nerds on Tour: Free Things to Do in Vienna
One of the things you'll notice that you do a lot of in Vienna is look up. The buildings there are spectacular – they put Buckingham Palace to shame. Because of this, there are so many brilliant completely free things to do in Vienna!
I only paid for 3 tourist attractions in Vienna (check them out on my post here) and although there is lots more to see museum-wise, I don't feel I missed out at all! The rest of my time was spent wandering the streets in hope of stumbling across somewhere spectacular.
Every single building in the centre is at least as high and as grand as the Queen's house itself, and absolutely covered in gold, reliefs, statues. It's all so grandiose! Even just looking at the buildings from the outside, it's a brilliant day out.
Everywhere you walked, there was something to gawp at and take pictures of. We bought a city travel pass (kudos to Vienna for their transport system!) and jumped on and off trams and buses with ease so we could wander the streets and public parks.
What to do in Vienna that doesn't cost a thing!
St Stephen's Cathedral is actually free to enter and look around inside. You can pay to go up the tower, and down to the catacombs but the building itself is pretty beautiful anyway with it's gothic architecture and incredible sculptures!
The Hundertwasserhaus is an incredible and bizarre piece of architecture that is so strange to see among the other plain buildings of Vienna. It's magnificent but in a totally different way to the others! You can check it out, a short tram ride between the centre and Praterpark!
There's a completely free amusement park called Prater, that you can visit which is open 24 hours! Unfortunately when we went, it was February and much too cold but I'd imagine it's pretty lively in the summer.
There are some lovely little boutiques, markets and bookshops around if you know where to look! Just take a little detour and you're sure to stumble across some lovely little finds where you can do some window-shopping.
We wandered in a few of the many parks and "platz" taking in the astonishing sights – if the weather is nice there are so many beautiful places to sit outside one of these magnificent buildings and have a packed lunch.
I hope these few things help you on your way to finding affordable Vienna tourist spots! For my other post on cheap and affordable things to do in Vienna, like the National Library, check it out here! (It's a Ravenclaw's dream!)

Oh wow, it really does look incredible! I wouldn't know where to look first! 😀
Sarah 🌺 || Boxnip
Some of the most fun things to do in places is just walking around and exploring, and that's totally free!
Awh awesome, I will save this post for when I plan to go to Vienna. Austria looks amazing and is still on my bucket list!

Vienna looks amazing. It's on my bucket list for sure!
I'd love to go to Vienna one day! It looks so lovely!

Looking for a specific product specification?
Check out an extensive overview of all the available specifications.
- How do Unifiber measure boom diameter thickness?
- Unifiber measure their quoted tube diameter – not including the EVA grip - in the centre of the harness line area. This is because the grip thickness can vary over time and also because some models feature a tapering of thickness over the boom length.
- What does 1 Year Unconditional + 1 Year Conditional warranty cover?
- Warranty is valid 2 years after date of purchase. When making a warranty claim in the first year the product is unconditionally warranted. When making a warranty claim in the 2nd year the product must have clearly suffered from a manufacturer error.
- Can I use a boom fully extended?
- Yes, both Unifiber aluminium and carbon booms can be fully extended. In both construction options there is no increased risk of breaking the boom as well the booms stiffness will remain at an acceptable level.
- Are the Performance Bolts required for a proper perfomance of the Unifiber boom head?
- No. The Performance Bolts were developed with the professional windsurfers in mind, who seek the maximum possible stiffness. Even without the Performance Bolts, the Unifiber boom head will match or exceed the performance of any other boom head on the market. The Performance Bolts 'upgrade' the stiffness of the boom head by approx. 10%. But this is a matter of personal taste. Some surfers prefer to sail without the Performance Bolts, to make the ride a little bit softer.

Making Disciples of Jesus for the Transformation of the World!
Aug 14, 2016 Sermon
"Connecting to Christ: Making Disciples"
Mark 1:14 – 20
Ted Jansen August 14, 2016 Waynedale UMC
Vision is seeing the future with God's Conviction. My prayer is that we might gain a fresh vision for the Waynedale Church through the statement, "Connecting to Christ and Community!"
1.) The book of Mark begins with the news that John the Baptist is getting people ready for Jesus. John does this by baptizing people and calling them to repent.
John baptizes Jesus as we read these words, "As Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descended on him like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased." (Mark 1:10, 11)
This message from God was powerful and vital for Jesus. It was a blessing that God gave Him as we began His ministry. "You are my child, I love you, I am pleased with you." Those are words that Jesus needed to know in His soul and spirit when He began ministry.
Jesus heard the message and was tested in the wilderness by Satan. For 40 days Jesus held on to the message, "You are my Son, I love you, with you I am well pleased." Jesus made sure He was assured of God's blessing.
2.) Jesus begins ministry by proclaiming this message of good news; "The time has come, the kingdom of God is near, repent and believe the good news." (Mark 1:15)
As Jesus spoke you hear the urgency, the important missions He is on, the need for change and belief as He begins ministry. Mark then writes these words, "As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fisherman. Come, follow me, Jesus said, and I will make you fishers of me." (Mark 1:16, 17)
This call, this invitation, this offer was so compelling that they left their nets, their family, their town and followed Jesus.
James and John also followed Jesus when they were called to "Come, Follow Me!"
3.) I wanted to learn about the word, "come." So I did a little research and I found out that the word, come, is only used in Mark's writing one other time. (Mark 6:31)
The word, come, links to what follows next. "Follow me" are the words that Jesus said in His invitation. Other Greek words for "come" in Mark and the New Testament are found but the Greek word, deute, is only used 12 times in the entire New Testament.
This term is a specific term to strongly connect to Jesus, as a person. When Jesus said to "come" it was not a general sense of join an adventure, or travel to a different part of the country, or get away from your fishing. This was connected to His life and His presence.
Contrast that specific linkage to a person to a general term. If someone would say to you, please come to the school, or please come to the store, or please come to church, you would understand them in a general way.
The term used was to be very specific. Come to Waynedale Elementary School, Room 112 and meet Mr. Smith.
Come was meant to be linked to Jesus and follow Him. The call, come, was to be in a relationship with Jesus Christ. They were to focus on Him in all that they did.
Let us understand that word come in the context of following Jesus and consider an image that might help us grow our vision of the church.
4.) I want you to picture one hand reaching out to another hand. Consider the one hand as Jesus who is reaching out to you and your hand, saying, "come, follow me." Gain a vision of the Hand of Christ reaching out to you. See this hand of love from the Father.
See this hand reaching out to you today and from all of your past to let you know that you are a child of God, that you are loved, and that God is pleased with you.
5.) John Wesley taught that God is always loving us. This is called Grace. Wesley spoke about Prevenient Grace, Justifying Grace and Sanctifying Grace.
Prevenient Grace, which is the grace that God expressed before we ever desired love, is the hand of Christ reaching out to you. Can you see the hand of Christ that has been reaching, reaching, and reaching for your hand for days, weeks, months, years and years? Grace is reaching out to us.
6.) When Jesus spoke to James and John and Simon and Andrew He wanted them to be in a relationship with Him. Come, follow me. Come and be in a relationship with me.
This is what God has placed on my heart for our life together. We connect people to the hand of Christ. This is the first aspect of the vision of connecting to Christ and community.
7.) We need to be the hands of Christ to those that sometimes don't see God's hand reaching out to them. There are times we don't see God's hand reaching out to us.
We don't believe that we are created in the image of God, that we are not a child of God. We don't believe that we are worthy of love, we struggle with our esteem or the harmful messages that others have communicated to us. We don't believe we can be loved unconditionally, we feel like we have to measure up or do something to be loved.
We all need to see the hand that is clearly in front of us, or else we will go down a path that will cause us strain and struggle. If we don't hold on the hand of Christ we could be way off on the wrong path.
8.) While driving up to Detroit last weekend Sue and I, who were driving in two cars, had to go around Toledo. I looked at a map and decided to go on 475 south and then pick up 75 north.
As I got close to Toledo I saw an orange sign that said 75 north should take 475 north. This was the opposite direction I wanted to go. It was farther so I decided to disregard that sign.
All was well until the sign came for a detour for 75. The exit ramp was being completely rebuilt. I had to go south for 5 or more miles until we were all redirected back on 75.
This detour caused us to go out of the way, which added to our time traveling, then we had to find a bathroom stop. The road to get back on 75 was a little confusing and Sue and I were not following each other. Then another detour caused a wrong turn and more delays. Sue and I were not able to see each other until we met at a Michigan Welcome Center 10 miles down the road.
I did not follow the right sign and this caused all sorts of stress. We follow our own path from time to time. Jesus says to us, "Come, Follow Me." I know the path you need to be on.
11.) "Come, Follow Me," as I ask you to remember me in the celebration of Communion. "Come, Follow Me," as you take the bread and think of my body. "Come Follow Me," as you take the juice and think of my blood that was shed on the cross so that we might be forgiven.
Come to Christ and let His hand reach out and hold our hand.
12.) Lord, thank you for your love. Your grace has reached my heart. I believe that you love me, you died on a cross for me. Forgive me for my sins and come into my heart today. I pray that the Holy Spirit would guide me. Amen.

December 4, 2010 (KHARTOUM) – Last year Sudan's northern neighbor, Egypt, lobbied to the United States to postpone southern Sudan's self determination referendum by four to six years as it feared that the new nation could put its share of the Nile's water in jeopardy according to a leaked US diplomatic cable.
In the cable, Cairo said southern secession in 2011 could have "fatal implications". Egypt believes that the south's independence could destabilize the region causing an increase in migrants into Egypt.
South Sudan's plebiscite was agreed as part of a 2005 peace deal between former southern rebels and the Sudanese government, which was witnessed by Egypt as well as the US.
The cable from October 2009 said that the likely vote in favor of separation "would be the creation of a 'non-viable' state that could threaten Egypt's access to the Nile waters".
Egypt is in dispute with other nations in the Nile basin over the amount water it is allocated from a colonial era agreement with Britain, which gives Egypt the majority of the rivers water.
Ethiopia has led a group of African countries in calling for a renegotiation of the agreement to "achieve sustainable socioeconomic development through the equitable utilization of, and benefit from, the common Nile Basin water resources."
Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Kenya and Ethiopia signed the new pact in May inviting other Nile riparian countries to sign the deal within a year. Sudan has so far sided with Egypt in the dispute.
The leaked cable said that discussions over between Egypt and other Nile basin nations were "tense."
In the past, Egypt has threatened to go to war with any country that tampers with the Nile. It appears that Egypt fears that a newly independent Southern Sudan could take a different stance than Khartoum and side with Kenya, Uganda and Ethiopia in order to be able to use more the White Nile's water.
Negotiations between the north and south ahead of the referendum have so borne little fruit so far although last week the two sides agreed a preliminary agreement to share Nile waters if the south votes to go its own way in January.
The leaked cable from the US embassy in Egypt, published Cairo's Almasry Alyoum newspaper, was one of 600 US documents released by the Wikileaks organization. These are the first of 251,000 classified US diplomatic and military cables Wikileaks plan to release.
In last year's, cable Egyptian officials asked the US to "educate" southern leaders on potential dangers of separation and encourage the US to advocate for the Africa's largest country to remain united.
The Comprehensive Peace Agreement between Sudan's south and the Khartoum government share power and the south's oil wealth for a six year interim period.
Egypt suggested that the deal be amended to give the south autonomy for a ten year period rather than the six years initially agreed. This period Egypt said would allow the region to develop south Sudan's "capacity for statehood".
In April 2009 a separate cable said that Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the U.S. military's Joint Chiefs of Staff was told by Egypt's spy chief Omar Suleiman that "Egypt does not want a divided Sudan."
On Friday Egyptian newspaper, Al Masry Al Youm, reported that 'Egyptian companies with investments in Sudan are considering several possible scenarios for dealing with the outcome' January's poll, although officials said the result would not affects investments in either the south or north.
The report said that Egyptian investment in Sudan in 2010 reached $2.5 billion making it the third largest Arab investor in Sudan.

Back story:This was my first ever build and may was it a good one. There where a lot of things that I didn't expect to happen that did, like cable management being so hard. I had been saving for this build and planning it since before Christmas, and when I finally had enough money I couldn't wait to purchase all of the parts and get building. Once all of the parts came in I sat down on a Tuesday night and just started to build it like I have seen a computer built in hundreds of other videos, and it was quite different from what I expected. The first thing that shocked me was the fact that computer parts are heavier than I expected. Second is that it takes a really long time for your first time.
About the build:The main hope for this build was to have a system that can run Esports titles, like CSGO, be on the budget side, and look ascetically pleasing. I will be running all of the games in 1080p so this system should have no problems running CS at 60+ frames.
Part Reviews
Extremely good budget processor. To be honest you should almost never buy an I3, all you need to buy is this than maybe upgrade to an overclock-able I5 later down the road. Gets the job done well and would definitely recommenced.
CPU Cooler
Great CPU cooler for my Pentium processor, bought it more for looks and less for cooling but it gets the job done.
This is a very good motherboard, because not only is it 10-15 dollars more than an entry level b250 board but it is also ascetically pleasing.
Good priced ram that gets the job done and also fits my color scheme so its great would recommend.
Its not the fastest storage and I will be looking to add an ssd for quicker storage down the line but it gets the job done.
Video Card
Great budget card for running Esports titles at 1080p 60+fps. Would definitely recommend.
To be honest I am extremely dissapointed in this case. The only reason why it is getting three stars is because of the looks and it has good places for cable management. Everything else is complete crap. The thumb screws on the back are terrible, along with the holes that they are drilled into. And half of the preinstalled standoffs where missing. All in all if you dont mind some of these small pains it might not be half bad for you.
Power Supply
Great cheap fully modular power supply, but some cables are still attached to each other (24 pin power and *8pin) but still for the price it is pretty good.
Case Fan
Nice looking fans, run a little loud but I don't mind the noise because I wear headphones.


text: Bruce Music offering is great. Alex in particular is an excellent teacher, I've made progress very quickly starting from absolute scratch and enjoy every class. In addition he is quite flexible with timings/booking slots, which helps a lot for people that have a busy schedule. I wholeheartedly recommend his service

One of the most interesting political incidents in Finland for this moment is the case of Ilja Janitskin.
Ilja Janitskin is the Finnish politician and editor-in-chief of one of the most popular and important Finnish media - MV-lehti. MV-lehti was founded in 2014 as an alternative media against mainstream media, establishment and liberals. Very soon, MV-lehti became one of the most popular and definitely the most important media in Finland.

International Planned Parenthood:
the umbrella body for abortion providers worldwide, seeks through its affiliates here, to introduce an extremely liberal abortion regime to Ireland. The Irish government is campaigning for a no questions asked unrestricted medical abortion regime to 12 weeks. Until recently, they proposed abortions with no upper limits i.e. to birth on mental / physical risk grounds with a two doctor model approach similar to the U.K. (the U.K. mental health risk ground has been responsible for 98% of almost 9 million UK social abortions to date and the two doctor UK model has been dispensed with long ago, with most abortions signed off on by doctors who do not see the woman until in theatre: please see our previous posts on this).
Down syndrome exemption?
The Irish government say babies are diagnosed with Down's syndrome after 12 weeks. Therefore they will escape the unrestricted abortion limit to 12 weeks. The government also says they will be exempt from mid-trimester abortions as no ground for abortion of non-fatal disabililties will be permitted. Mid-trimester abortions will otherwise be permissible on mental / physical health risk grounds by two nominated doctors. However in Germany, there is equally no ground for abortion of Down's babies, yet 9/10 Down's babies are aborted under the mental health risk ground. The absence of a ground is meaningless without a ban while the mental health risk ground exists.
Last trimester Ban or is it?
Because of a recent drop in support in opinion polls, the Irish government cynically dropped the 'no upper limit' ……ahem….limit and now propose a ban on abortions above 24 weeks of pregnancy / viability. Exceptions to the new limit proposed include serious maternal life and health risks and fetal life limiting conditions, where babies may be still be aborted to birth. How 'serious' will be defined as opposed to mental and physical health risks for mid-trimester abortions is unclear but reassurances are given that babies will not be left to die.
Zero legal protection:
In any case if the 8th amendment goes / is repealed, there remains zero legal protection for the Irish unborn to birth following a recent Irish supreme court decision that stripped any remaining rights other than the right to life enshrined in the 8th. Recent attempts by the Irish government's 2nd in command, Tánaiste Simon Coveney, to prevent further liberalisation of current government proposals including a possible reversion to the original 'no upper limit' scenario, failed miserably in the Irish parliament or 'Dáil' this past week on the grounds of being unconstitutional. Thus the door will be left wide open to this or future governments acting as they will. Having said that, a constitutional lawyer here has intimated that the total lack of constitutional protection to birth without the 8th in place, might permit a situation to unfold where any limitations in place could be challenged with nothing to underpin them.
A thorn in the side for years:
International planned parenthood's juggernaut, has targeted Ireland's pro-life laws for many years describing the 8th amendment as the 'jewel in the crown' for the pro-life movement in general. This targeting despite Ireland having one of the lowest maternal mortality rates in the world without abortion.
Money is involved at many levels. Consider the revenue of Planned Parenthood America in 2016 which was 1.4 billion US dollars alone. Consider a recent post on major abortion provider Marie Stopes U.K.'s bonus driven culture; (calling back women who'd already refused abortions to offer later appointments as a sales target) and consider yesterday's post on the flooding of Irish pro-abortion organisations such as Amnesty International Ireland with foreign funds from George Soros amongst others, accepted and kept illegally. With a view to not only repealing the 8th amendment, but to specifically target any remaining countries with restrictive abortion laws including Poland and Malta….
Everyday, we promote Sr. Briege McKenna's appeal for Masses to be said privately or publicly in parishes in reparation for Ireland's turning from God and for protection of the 8th amendment. There is nothing greater than the Mass. (Sr. Briege has a worldwide apostolate of intercession for priests and healing ministry). In August last year in the Marian shrine, Knock, Ireland, she said, 'if Ireland votes for abortion, Ireland is lost.'
Can you, with other parishioners organise one or more Masses / half-days / days of prayer with medically safe fasting in your parish between now and May 25th?
Please let us know about your parish event or if you are going to have a Mass said privately by emailing us at: firstname.lastname@example.com or go to our website: http://www.massandfastforireland.com/contact
Please consider getting Masses said locally where ever you are or through the following:

(b): Human Life International Ireland, a pro-life and family, catholic organisation, have a 1000 Mass campaign for protection of the unborn and reparation for Ireland's turning from God…https://humanlife.ie/1000masses/community/add
Almost half of Amnesty International Ireland's campaign money went on abortion promotion in 2016 with just 6% going on abolition of the death penalty and 15% on stopping torture.
Amnesty's call for a 'human rights compliant abortion law' cost €160,687 during the second half of 2016 and a further €114,776 went on a 'My Body, My Rights' crusade.
The human rights charity spent €275,463 on the issue last year, far more than any of its other drives.
Responding to an inquiry by the Irish Sun, it revealed its call for a "human rights compliant abortion law" cost €160,687 during the second half of 2016.
And a further €114,776 went on a 'My Body, My Rights' crusade, which focused on reproductive rights concerns in Ireland, Nepal, Burkina Faso, El Salvador, Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia.
Abortion accounted for almost half of the campaign's war chest overseen by Amnesty's Ireland chief Colm O'Gorman. A statement from him yesterday read: "Women and girls have a human right to have access to safe and legal abortion services.
"For anyone opposed to women being granted this right, I can understand why they are not happy that we campaign on this issue. However, it is the gravity of human rights violations that determines Amnesty International's position."
A reply to the Irish Sun also reveals spends of €89,370 on Stop Torture, €55,537 on Anti-Discrimination, €34,983 on Abolition of the Death Penalty and €59,074 on Individuals At Risk including prisoners of conscience such as Ibrahim Halawa.
Their other outlays included €26,766 on Crisis Response, such as the situation in Myammar, and €59,021 on the Inter-governmental organisations and human rights in Ireland.
Another €124,817 went on their contribution to Amnesty's International Movement.

Sekou Nkrumah hails Ghana's democratic system
Dr. Sekou Nkrumah, son of Ghana's First President, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, has commended Ghana for its democratic governance.
He said while Ghana had sustained its democracy and enjoyed political stability for the past two decades; some African countries were still struggling with attaining democratic governance.
"A choice on democracy we took years ago in Ghana is still working, and has helped the country in developing,"he added.
Dr. Nkrumah said this during a lecture organized by the Lincoln Community School (LCS) in Accra yesterday on the Importance of Ghana's Independence and the role his father played in the historical event'.
The lecture seeks to commemorate Ghana's 54th independence celebrations.
Messages on Pan-African countries were relayed by the LCS theatre students through poems and drama among others.
He said the current crisis in some African countries such as Libya, Tunisia and Egypt meant that the people are yearning for democracy.
Dr. Nkrumah said democracy in a country help people choose their own leaders which help in the development of their countries as the opposition help to put government on its toes.
He said Ghana should not accept the direction of other countries that had refused to hand over power to their opponent, adding, political parties must always endeavour to accept results of elections.
He said as a country, there was the need to leave a legacy for the children and the next generation.
