Website Marketing: 6 Online Tips to Stand Apart
For manufacturers, websites are your front door to the world, featuring and selling your products 24/7. It should be no surprise that a poorly executed or rarely updated website can lead to a loss of credibility and sales by potential buyers – not things you need. But when you commit to keeping that website fresh, you should be purposeful in your planning and strategic in your approach. Here are just a few ways you can stand apart from your competitors with a great website.
1. Write for the Buyer
Manufacturers tend to deal with products and services that are generally more technical than the average person gets. Although your audience may consist of similarly technical individuals, your content should be written strategically so even someone who has no knowledge of your product (think procurement people or executive buyers) can clearly understand what your company provides. Avoid too much jargon or technical terms and explain things in the most basic of ways. If a potential client can't quickly and clearly understand what they're buying, then their interest is likely to wane and their time on your site will suffer.
2. Create Engaging Content
Face it – we live in a fast-paced, mobile world. Your buyers are becoming more visually oriented and in the interest of time, they're skimming through your content. So create copy that is short, engaging and relevant. Ask yourself if there are better ways for your audience to interact. Visual content is a great way to go beyond the basic, and oftentimes wordy, description of an item. Would something would be better described through a video? Would an informative graphic better explain a step-by-step process? In addition to speeding the flow of information, adding rich media such as video to your website can help improve online search results and draw more visitors.
3. Increase Your Exposure
Search Engine Optimization, or SEO is the process of improving how search engines like Google or Bing rank your site against your competitors. If you are unfamiliar with SEO, think of it this way: What sort of words or terms would someone type into Google to find your products? After identifying those keywords and phrases be sure you are using them throughout the content on your site. Remember, if search engines can't find you, then neither can your potential clients. There's a lot more that goes into SEO, but this is a good place to start.
4. Celebrate Your Achievements
Has your company been recognized in your industry or community? Have you received awards, certifications, or media acknowledgements that set you apart from your competitors? Your website is the perfect place to brag a bit. That's sometimes uncomfortable for companies, but admit it: if you don't brag about yourself, who will? Listing these achievements (and posting their logos, if available) lends credibility to your company, fosters goodwill, and helps to set you apart in the eyes of your potential buyers.
5. Keep Contact Info Visible
Make it easy for buyers to contact you. Whether it is a phone number, chat link, or a simple submission form (or all of them), contact information must be easy to find for those with questions. Really evaluate how many clicks customers must go through and work to minimize them. Keep contact forms simple and try not to have too many required fields. Keep phone numbers near the top of your pages and clickable for mobile users. Add street addresses and maps if necessary, so they know where to find you. Then put everything to the test with some family or friends to make sure numbers and links can be found and forwarded as intended.
6. Integrate Social Media
Oftentimes manufacturers are reluctant to integrate social media strategies into their marketing, but you shouldn't discount their impact in professional circles. Social media platforms such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube (and dozens more) can help build awareness and drive traffic to your website. It's a great way to engage prospects and buyers in a cost-effective manner, while providing an opportunity to interact with them and gain feedback. However, consider that social media is no longer about how many "likes" you get, but more about how you interact with your audience to satisfy their needs. Social media works to start the conversation and help drive traffic to your website. That's where the real customer conversion should take place.
So there you go; six tips to improve your online marketing. Certainly there are hundreds of other strategies to hone and refine your site, but these tactics should get you well on your way to standing apart in a crowded marketplace.

Precisely why Is the Blockchain Technology Necessary?
For instance, if a fresh technologies are developed that may allow many parties to transact a genuine estate deal. The parties gather and complete the details about timing, special circumstances and financing. How will these parties know they are able to trust the other? They would ought to verify their agreement with organizations – banks, legal teams, government registration and so on. This brings it to where you started in terms of using the technology to save costs.
Over the following stage, the next parties have become invited to sign up real estate deal and supply their input while the transaction has created in realtime. This decreases the role with the middleman significantly. When the deal is this transparent, the middleman could be eliminated in some instances. The lawyers is there to avoid miscommunication and lawsuits. If your terms are disclosed upfront, these risks are reduced. When the financing arrangements are secured upfront, it's going to be known ahead of time how the deal will likely be covered and also the parties will honour the money they owe. This brings us to the past stage with the example. In the event the terms of the deal as well as the arrangements have already been completed, how can the sale earn for? The system of measure has to be currency from a central bank, which suggests working with banks again. Should this happen, the banks may not allow these deals being completed without some type of due diligence on the end and also this would imply costs and delays. Will be the technology that valuable in creating efficiency as much as this time? It is not likely.
Is there a solution? Produce a digital currency that isn't only just as transparent because the deal itself, but is certainly the main terms of the deal. If the currency is interchangeable with currencies issued by central banks, the only requirement remaining is usually to convert a digital currency right into a well-known currency much like the Canadian dollar or even the U.S. dollar which may be done at any time.
We've got the technology being alluded to within the example could be the blockchain technology. Trade may be the backbone from the economy. A key reasons why money exists is good for the objective of trade. Trade produces a large number of activity, production and taxes for several regions. Any savings in this field which can be applied across the globe can be very significant. As one example, consider the concept of free trade. Before free trade, countries would import and export to countries, however they a tax system that would tax imports to limit the effects that foreign goods had for the local country. After free trade, these taxes were eliminated and more goods were produced. A good small change in trade rules were built with a large impact on the earth's commerce. The word trade can be categorised into more specific areas like shipping, real estate property, import/export and infrastructure which is more obvious how lucrative the blockchain is that if it might save obviously any good portion of costs over these areas.

Bloomberg: Three New Macs with Apple Coprocessors in Development, New iPad in Fall
The Bloomberg reports that Apple's engineers are developing new Mac laptop models that would feature coprocessors similar to T1 and T2 chips featured by MacBook Pro and iMac Models. Also, the article informs that new iPad will be issued this year. There is a little information about these tools since they are announced as cool features and parts of the larger article about Apple's chips located at the Bloomberg's resource.
The Bloomberg doesn't describe which model line will be getting these specific upgrades, but we have a couple of guesses. The publication specifies that Apple is developing two new laptops and a brand new desktop for an unspecified device. We believe that the Mac Pro is one of the most obvious "desktop" candidates, considering that T2 is already used in one of the strongest machines, but it also could be designed for iMac, too. The company informs that new Mac Pro is under development but doesn't promise that customers will see it in 2018.
According to the rumors, MacBook Pros are not expected to be updated this year. However, updates for Retina MacBook are very likely to be expected, therefore it might be one of the models at stake. The T1 chip uses Touch ID and Touch Bar elements, including Secure Enclave. iMac Pro uses T2, which is more ambitious, acts as a controller for an SSD, has a Secure Boot and other functions.
If the next iPad is not issued this year, it is possible that Apple skips A11 series and goes right to A12 X equivalent. The latest iPads launched in 2017 use A10 X processors. It is unlikely that Apple will stick to A11 chip for a new iPad since new iPhones are likely to use A12.
The Bloomberg's article describes the growth of company's chip division. This departure is working on SoCs for iPads, iPhones, Apple Watch and coprocessors for new Macs. Apple could develop CPUs inside Macs, however this task requires moving away from x86 architecture to ARM, which is pretty complicated.
Bloomberg claims that right now Apple poaches engineers from Qualcomm, which has been a Apple's cellular chips supplier for years. This means that the company is about to issue cellular baseband modem chip, although it is still not exactly known. Since the time of iPhone 7, Intel has appeared on the stage. Now, the forthcoming iPhones are expected to be without aby Qualcomm chips at all.
So far, all Apple laptops with custom co processors or not, start working slower over time. Everybody knows that slow Mac is a littered Mac, which requires cleaning. Use Macspeed to delete cookies, unnecessary files and other junk from your computer. Get a perfect Mac cleaning app and you will see how fast your laptop could be.

Steps Involved in Separating Gold from its Impurities
Ore extraction tends to enable a consistent supply of foreign exchange making it an important aspect of many economies of the world. This rare but treasurable commodity has been with us from time immemorial. Discovery of gold came with it some buzz that would ensure that people around go to the place in question to get their fair share of the precious commodity. This then would go on to coin the name gold rush since they would exude some buzz whenever the gold discovery arises. People now consider gold as a precious commodity. This denotation has therefore ensured that many people have become more and more embracing towards the final products of gold. In conventional methods gold has been refined and kept into processes that would ensure that the absolute gold is gotten as an end product. After mining of gold the mineral in its natural form isn't really as eye capturing as the final product. It should therefore pass through phases enhancing its purity. Mining this ore would require some more steps in order to get the complete product.
Many approaches have been used in order to get the ore in its natural form one being the use of chlorine. The gold in its natural form is not viable for the market hence the need to always take it through the relevant phases. Refining is the step of removing the unwanted impurities from the gold to improve its purity. This tends to enable you get the best quality of mineral that you would be extracting.
This would therefore result to you having to recover some minerals that have the best quality and would be ready for the next phase of the process. Some process are known to have notable results most common being the miller and the Wohlill processes. This step requires the use of gases to carry out its work. They do this at the melting point of gold enabling the gold to become molten hence separating from its impurities. This process is known to be simple and rapid making it a step that many people like to take whenever they would want to refine their gold. The wohwill process on the other hand uses electricity to separate gold . This process to is very efficient and is also a step many miners ponder about.
It is a process recommended since it is efficient and enables the miners to get adequate gold. This process tends to use properties gotten from extensive research on how matter operates after current is passed through it. The electrolyte used is an acid. This process would ensure positive and complete reactions and have the best outcome. The next phase would then be to quantify the precious metal so that you could know the wanted one and separate it from the unwanted.

Researchers are honing in on the basic molecular and genetic components of cancer in their quest to develop more effective, less toxic therapies. The discovery of novel treatments that target the particular genetic mutation that enables malignant cells to replicate without control in a particular patient promises to eradicate cancers without damaging healthy cells. As a result, patients will enjoy better quality of life and better prospects for survival.
When patients are waiting breathlessly for a new treatment that will extend their life and put their cancer into remission, they are really hoping that researchers are about to deliver some new medication that will take a new approach to attacking those malignant cells that are replicating and growing within them.
Hematologist-oncologist Dr. Sarit Assouline is but one example of a clinician-scientist with the Clinical Research Unit at the Segal Cancer Centre who has an active and successful program providing the latest innovations in cancer therapies to eligible patients. She is looking, specifically, at novel treatments for leukemia and lymphoma.
"When I arrived here in 2005, we had no early phase trials underway. Now, we have more than fifty patients enrolled in eight different drug development studies," she said. "This represents a major advance for our patients, and also has a broader impact because the results of our trials will assist leukemia and lymphoma sufferers beyond the walls of this institution."
Medical research achieves its objective when discoveries from the lab evolve into safe and effective treatments for patients. Clinical research is that essential collaboration between patients and physicians through which novel therapies are tested, hopefully, to emerge as the gold standard of treatment.
The Jewish General Hospital is rigorous in its process for selecting the trials in which its patients participate. The proposed medication is carefully evaluated by the supervising physicians until they are confident of its safety and promise, and the Research Ethics Office oversees all aspects of the implementation and administration of the trial.
Patients at the Segal Cancer Centre have participated in clinical trials for several drugs that have gone on to receive approval for widespread use from the American Food and Drug Administration against leukemia and multiple myeloma.
"To have the drugs that our patients test accepted as the standard of care is the milestone we aim for," Dr. Assouline said enthusiastically, "our efforts and our patients' contributions have made it possible to save, prolong, and improve lives."
Patients are generally anxious for the opportunity to participate in clinical trials. However, it is important to Dr. Assouline and the entire clinical research team to spread information about trials in order that qualified patients are made aware of their existence.
Leukemias and lymphomas are devastating cancers that are always life threatening. We need new therapies in order to cure more people. And we need to better understand the diseases so that we can develop new and less toxic therapies.
Research Axis
The Cancer Research Axis is led by Dr. Gerald Batist, Director of the Segal Cancer Centre (SCC) and Deputy Director of the LDI. Research activities include both fundamental laboratory-based and clinical investigations, with particular emphasis on molecular oncology (molecular-level changes which take place in cancerous or pre-cancerous cells), cancer prevention (factors that contribute to the development and progression of tumours), cancer genetics (genes that predispose an individual to cancer), biomarkers in cancer therapy (identification of biomarkers that may serve to identify particular risk factors, or to serve as targets for "patient-tailored" therapy), new cancer therapies (different chemical and biological approaches to the discovery and development of cancer therapies), translational physics and radiobiology (combination of molecular targeted therapies and ionizing radiation with real-time imaging and molecular imaging of both the tumour and its microenvironment), psychosocial oncology (addresses coping, communication, information-seeking behaviour, decision-making, fertility and sexuality issues, and risk information transmission to improve health outcomes and quality of life for cancer patients, their families and caregivers), and evaluative research (includes international leadership in robotic surgery for various types of cancers, health services research, as well as outcome evaluation and integration of cancer care).
The Axis represents the single largest area of research at the LDI and involves one of the largest groups of clinician-scientists in Québec striving to better understand the biological make-up of cancer, the development of novel therapies, and better means of prevention. At the Segal Cancer Centre, synergy between the laboratory and the clinic enables progress on important translational efforts to provide patients with the most promising treatment options.
As co-founder of Q-CROC, Dr. Batist has been instrumental in
establishing links between investigators at the LDI, the SCC,
Support the work of Dr. Assouline and her fellow Cancer Axis researchers at the Segal Cancer Centre and in the Lady Davis Institute, and contribute to the development of more effective and less toxic therapies for a broad range of cancers.

It wasn't long ago that Marvel and Disney revealed the Scarlet Witch mini-series, coming to Disney's exclusive streaming service. The series connects to the MCU, with Elizabeth Olsen set to reprise her role. Though the overall direction of the series remains a mystery. In the comics, the Scarlet Witch is a complicated character, thanks in no small part to her connection to the mutant side of the Marvel Universe. So several possibilities exist. Still, one question hung over the series from the beginning: what role would Vision play in it, if any? Well, new reports suggest that Paul Bettany's portrayal of the character will feature in the series.
The exact magnitude of Vision's role is up in the air. Anyone who watches the movies knows that the two characters are romantically linked. This is a major facet of the characters in terms of comic book lore, as well. Indeed, the history of Scarlet Witch and the Vision is a long and winding one. It also involves Wonder Man to a not-insignificant degree, and that character is still absent from the MCU at this time. So, will Vision feature heavily? Most fans probably hope he does. It doesn't appear likely for such a significant character in Wanda's life to be a mere cameo. And his presence does imply that the series takes place after the death of her brother. So it likely isn't a look at her past.
Another question, of course, is how the series fits into the timeline. By the time this series premieres, Avengers 4 will have dropped. It's extremely likely that one or both characters return from the dead. But if only one of them does, it's more probable that it be Scarlet Witch, which would resign Vision to some manner of cameo via flashback. Of course, it's entirely likely that every character killed during the events of Avengers: Infinity War will return. Disney and Marvel are also working on a Winter Soldier/Falcon team-up mini-series. Seeing as both characters were erased in the film, one shouldn't rule out the possibility.

Lawn Belt is a sprinkler system you can design yourself … plus you'll save a ton of money by not having to hire a sprinkler contractor to install the system for you.
Because Lawn Belt installs just below the surface and sprinkler heads are only buried 8″-10″ into a small hole, building permits are not usually required.
To get started designing your system, print out our grid sheet, grab a tape measure, a few wooden stakes and a roll of string.
Before you start, you'll want to check your Psi and GPM levels. A call to your water company will give you a good idea of how good your water coverage will be if a gauge is not available.
We do recommend using a pressure gauge (it easily attaches to your faucet) and a gallon bucket (For example if it takes 7 seconds to fill a gallon bucket then divided 60 by 7 .. or 8.6 GPM)Test your PSI and GPM
As you measure your area, draw the shape on your grid sheet as you go. If you prefer to walk your area out – just count the number of steps and multiply by about 2 and a half times.
Use the ledger as a guide to keep the sketch somewhat proportional. Even if you are within 5 feet of accuracy you'll be fine.Print your grid sheet
The size of your lawn will determine what type of sprinkler head you will want to choose. If you have a lawn area bigger than 20′ square you may want to consider using either our Water-Saver or Big-Lawn Kit which includes 3 rotors that spray out 20′ and are fully adjustable.Choose your coverage
If using a rotors (Big Lawn Kit) or a MP 2000 head (Water-Saver Kit), draw a 20′ radius or 40′ diameter and then arrange them so they overlap about 7-10 feet. For our regular sprayers or adjustable soft tops use a 8′ radius or 16′ diameter and overlap them 2-3 feet.
The spacing between the Rotors and MP2000's should be about 25′ apart. For smaller lawn areas use a sprayer head with an 8′ radius or 16′ diameter. Space approximately 12-15 feet apart.
Mark the sprinkler head locations on your grid sheet. Its also a good idea to also spray away from streets, fences and house walls, Use 1/2 circle patterns for these areas.
To verify what you have drawn, its a good idea to put stakes in the lawn to locate the sprinkler heads in your sketch. Just tie a 20′ string to each stake and walk around to check the coverage.
Lastly join sprinkler sprays in your sketch in groups of 3 – then measure the distance from the last sprinkler head back to your outdoor faucet.
"Lawnbelt is really amazing. I use a liquid fertilize my lawn with Lawnbelt too. I've attached a simple backflow valve and a bottle (about $8) directly to my outdoor faucet and voila, I've got a beautiful lawn, thanks to Lawnbelt….!"
Sorry at this time we are backordered on our kits — please contact us for availability.

Fine Tuning #262
11:30 hrs, Saturday 25th June, Roberts G08
Director / Anthropologist: David Noy / Meirav Aharon
Year of Release: 2010
Duration: 50 mins
Country of Production: Israel
Location: Israel
Language: Hebrew (English sub)
Production: Cinemax
Fine Tuning – a Musical War Movie – follows the extraordinary rise and fall of The Israeli Orchestra, which preserves the exceptional musical heritage of Andalusian melody and Jewish prayer. This unique authentic musical art form originated in Spanish Andalusia, was passed on orally in Moroccan synagogues from generation to generation, until it finally landed in Israel. But the multi-cultural ensemble is surprising: musicians of Moroccan ethnic origin play the authentic instruments by heart, while the more conventional classical instruments are played by Russian immigrant musicians from music sheets. The lead violinist is an Israeli-Arab. The orchestra achieved success and received the prestigious Israel Prize Lifetime achievement award, but then things went sour, and the film took a turn: the inner tension between the musicians and the management led to a strike. The musicians were fired and both sides declared war, forming new orchestras and battling for budgets and recognition. For five years, throughout the turmoil, the film follows the lead characters until the struggle ends.

Stylish hideaway tucked away in the countryside of Ostuni.
Trullo Francesca offers two contemporary and stylishly furnished structures. Traditional architecture and modern comforts synchronised to accommodate two spacious bedrooms and living spaces. The recently added swimming pool demands relaxation in the shadow of formidable long views of the valleys of Ostuni.
Immersed in the olive groves of Ostuni's inland valleys, Trullo Francesca is located along a rural farmer's track and reached through the olive groves once having passed the trulli complexes, some restored, some abandoned ruins.
Although in Ostuni territory, the trullo is within a 6km drive to the market town of Cisternino. Here you can find all amenities required of a holiday with shops, boutiques, restaurants, festivals and a historic town to stroll about and explore on a warm summer's night.
Friends and Family
Two couples or a couple with young teenagers or children (have to share the twin) or equally couples with a small child (we supply cots and highchairs) would work best at Trullo Francesca. The rooms are ample size for you to be independent and enjoy personal time.
Stylish interiors with a touch of travel incorporated. Puglia is evident in the structure and restoration works but each room has a trip down memory lane as the owners have been fortunate to have travelled the world before having settled on purchasing a crumbling down trullo in Puglia.
Comfort is by far evident with lounge space dedicated to relaxation mode.
The principal unit is the trullo cone, that was once a pile of rubble, restored and amplified to create a double or twin bedroom, lounge with fireplace and kitchen and dining room.
The second unit is equally as large with a bedroom and ample lounge. Mini-fridge and coffee/tea making facilities.
Relaxation within and relax out! The BBQ area found just outside the kitchen area and where you would dine al fresco many a night if you're not enjoying a meal at one of the numerous restaurants in the Itria Valley. Additional seating area provided outside for reading under an olive tree or just soaking up the panoramic views.
The swimming pool, 10 x 4 metres, has by far the best view across the valleys. As the sun sets over the horizon, the sky is filled with some of the most spectacular colours that nature impulsively grants us.

Wellington is a city and county seat of Collingsworth County, Texas, United States.[3] The population was 2,189 at the 2010 census.[4]
Sometime in 1889 or 1890, as smaller ranches and farmlands were being purchased, Ernest Theodore O'Neil, his brother-in-law John Simon McConnell, and John W. Swearingen, together had purchased the land upon which the town currently sits, for $5.00 per acre. Subsequently, O'Neil, who originally owned a fourth of the section of the township, purchased the interests of McConnell and Swearingen, and retained sole ownership of the land. The 1890 census showed 357 inhabitants across the county, with 89 ranches and farms and 335 acres (1.36 km2) of land in cultivation. In August 1890, a petition was circulated to organize the county, choose a county seat, and elect county officers. Two potential townships were proposed: Wellington and Pearl. The proposed town of Wellington was located on the land owned by Ernest T. O'Neil who was promoting this location, and had been given its proposed name by his wife, Matilda Anna Elisabeth "Lizzie" O'Neil, who greatly admired the Duke of Wellington, hero of the Battle of Waterloo. The alternate and proposed town of Pearl was located several miles north of Wellington.
In September 1890, the vote was held and Wellington was selected for the seat of the newly organized county of Collingsworth. In 1891 the new city, laid out by Ernest T. O'Neil, was surveyed and platted, and the first postal service and postmaster, Carrie M. Barton, was established on January 9, 1891. Construction of a courthouse began in 1893, and the contractor, J. A. White, built the courthouse of locally made bricks. With the extra materials left over from the courthouse, J. A. White erected a mercantile store for Ernest T. O'Neil. This became the first mercantile store and commercial building in Wellington, prior to the opening of a two-story hotel by O'Neil. Later O'Neil organized the first bank, was active in all phases of the county's growth and development, and served as postmaster from August 22, 1895 to December 11, 1897.
Early in the early 20th century, Wellington was connected with Wichita Falls through the Wichita Falls and Wellington Railroad, one of the properties of the industrialist Joseph A. Kemp of Wichita Falls. In 1914, this route was leased by the since defunct Missouri–Kansas–Texas Railroad.[5]
The first time Bonnie and Clyde (Bonnie Park and Clyde Barrow) made The New York Times newspaper was their incident at the Prichard farm. Bonnie is referenced as a "woman companion", and the perpetrators are Clyde Barrow and his brother whose name is given as Icy. With the location as "Wellington, Texas", the story tells of their wrecking their car, terrorizing a family and shooting the daughter-in-law (but actually their daughter), kidnapping two law enforcement officers and taking them in their car near Erick, Oklahoma, where the two kidnapped men were tied to a tree with barbed wire cut from a fence. They freed themselves and alerted local law enforcement, but the trail had gone cold.[6][7]
Wellington is located in southern Collingsworth County at 34°51′17″N 100°12′49″W / 34.85472°N 100.21361°W (34.854616, -100.213626).[8] U.S. Route 83 runs along the eastern edge of the city, leading north 26 miles (42 km) to Shamrock and Interstate 40, and south 31 miles (50 km) to Childress. Texas State Highway 203 leads east 13 miles (21 km) to the Oklahoma border and west 14 miles (23 km) to Quail.
According to the United States Census Bureau, Wellington has a total area of 1.4 square miles (3.5 km2), all of it land.[4]
According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Wellington has a semi-arid climate, abbreviated "BSk" on climate maps.[9]

Archeology is a relatively new discipline, only defined in the U.S. in the 1950s, but people have been curious about artifacts and the people who left them for a very long time. In the Coastal Bend during the 1920s, Martin and Potter made early surveys. Those records were privately published. In the 1920s and 1930s a father and step-son, Harold Pape and John Tunnell, began an extensive survey, making detailed notes as they collected artifacts. This collection was published by their son and grand-son recently.
In the late 1940s T. N. Campbell from UT-Austin conducted local excavations and published in the Bulletin of the Texas Archeological Society. He continued his research and synthesis through the 1960s. In the 1960s university trained archeologist Jim Corbin who grew up in Ingleside added interpretative data for the coastal bend. Archeologist Bob Ricklis became the dean of coastal archeology as he investigated many regional sites while serving as senior archaeologist at TRC Environmental Corporation and president of Coastal Archaeological Research in Corpus Christi.
More recently members of the THC Archeological Stewards network, including Pat Braun and others have continued to document sites and finds in the region and report to the Texas Archeological Research Laboratory at UT-Austin where the central depository of data and artifacts is housed. A group from the Museum of the Coastal Bend, Victoria, has recorded and preserved many sites in the region. Historic archeology has been conducted by Texas Tech professor Tamra Walter on the mission sites near Victoria.
Archeologists who work in the region have identified and reported sites that show PaleoIndian, Archaic, Late Prehistoric and Historic eras. Sites and their interpretation provide stories of early peoples who occupied the coastal bend region for thousands of years.
Kudos go to the committee that developed the archeology theme: Pam Stranahan, Maureen Winkelman, Lisa Knoblett, Tim Mullins, Hannah Hawes, Kam Wagert, and Leah Oliva. Special thanks to Scott Wagert, who created the poster designs and Phil Stranahan, who assisted with the AV for the tablets.
Financial support for this exhibit came from the Coastal Bend Community Foundation.

DS9 movie
🍍 The actor who plays Garak says that he was playing him as gay, and very much into Bashir
🍍 Behr says he should have pushed for making that explicit and playing Garak/Bashir as a romance
🍍 They talk about how Rejoined was good, but not enough to credit them with a "checkmark" in the sexual identity category of representation (they do not mention Chimera, which was even better imo)
DS9 movie
> a *DS9 series-continuation movie*
I uhh ... also want to see this movie, for the record
DS9 movie
@bgcarlisle Armin Shimerman talked about it in an interview I saw recently (that one where he also talks about being a union leader while also being the anti-union character on the show) and reflected that he was maybe the only primary character that could easily pull it off and pretend to be the same age due to the amount of makeup he was wearing
Then again, I'm not sure there's a need for the characters to pretend to be the same age, esp given the way the show ended.
DS9 movie
@cwebber The way they pitched their imaginary start to season 8, it was ~ 20 years after the end of season 7
DS9 movie
@bgcarlisle dang, heck yeah I'd watch that
DS9 movie
@cwebber I'm guessing that the documentary will be viewable in some other venue (download, streaming, on-disc) at some point
Their thumbnail sketch of that one episode was honestly better than all of Discovery season 2

Supreme Court of Wyoming
July 31, 2013
Kelvin BOURKE, Appellant (Plaintiff),v.GREY WOLF DRILLING COMPANY, LP, now known as Precision Drilling Company, LP, Appellee (Defendant).
Page 1165
Representing Appellant: Hampton M. Young, Jr., Attorney at Law, Casper, Wyoming.
Representing Appellee: Amanda W. Wiley of Taylor Anderson, LLP, Denver, Colorado.
Before KITE, C.J., and HILL, VOIGT, BURKE, and DAVIS, JJ.
DAVIS, Justice.
[¶ 1] Appellant Kelvin Bourke sued his former employer Grey Wolf Drilling Company, LP, for fraud and wrongful termination in the Seventh Judicial District Court. Unbeknownst to Bourke, Grey Wolf had been sold to a foreign corporation, Precision Drilling,[1] which affected the venue of this action
Page 1166
under Wyoming Statute § 1-5-107. Precision Drilling was not a resident of Wyoming as Grey Wolf had been. Precision Drilling moved to dismiss the case for improper venue and failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. The district court granted the motion on both grounds.
[¶ 2] Bourke claims that the district court erred in dismissing his complaint for improper venue, and that his claims were summarily dismissed when he should have been granted leave to amend his complaint. We affirm the district court's dismissal for improper venue, but we conclude that the court erred as a matter of law when it reached the merits of the case after determining that it had to be dismissed on venue grounds. We accordingly reverse and remand for entry of a dismissal without prejudice based only upon improper venue.
[¶ 3] Appellant states the issues as follows:
A. Whether the venue outlined in Wyo. Stat. § 1-5-107 is mandatory, requiring a case filed in the improper County be dismissed.
B. Whether or not the Court abused its discretion by denying Plaintiff's Motion to Amend.
[¶ 4] We believe the issues are more aptly summarized as follows:
1. Was venue proper in Natrona County?
2. If venue was not proper, should the district court have transferred the case to a proper venue?
3. Did the district court err as a matter of law in reaching the merits of a motion to dismiss on W.R.C.P. 12(b)(6) grounds after it determined that the case had to be dismissed on venue grounds?
[¶ 5] Appellant Bourke lived in Carbon County and worked as a motorman on a drilling rig operated by Grey Wolf in Lincoln County. The rig's deck or floor hand did not report for work on August 13, 2007, and Bourke had to perform his duties as well as his own. The crew was " tripping pipe" that day, i.e., placing sections of drill pipe back into the wellbore after removing them. The sections of pipe weighed approximately one ton, and they tended to swing as they were pulled up by the draw works (winch) in the derrick.
[¶ 6] Bourke claims that he was hit by a joint of pipe and seriously injured because he was required to work without assistance from the missing deck hand. He also contends that he was not properly trained in the use of a " tail rope" used to control the pipe, and that the tail rope was tied off so as to make it ineffective to prevent the pipe from swinging.
[¶ 7] Bourke's complaint alleges that he reported the accident to Grey Wolf the day it happened, that a worker's compensation report of injury was completed, and that he expected the company to submit the report to the Wyoming Workers' Safety and Compensation Division (the Division). The company did not in fact submit a report of injury to the Division at that time, and Bourke alleges that co-employee witnesses to the report were told not to provide any statements concerning the claimed injury.
[¶ 8] Bourke continued to work with no restrictions for several months after he claims he was injured. Grey Wolf then fired Bourke for smoking in an unauthorized area on November 13, 2007. His complaint alleges that on December 3, 2007, Grey Wolf forwarded the form Bourke had filled out the day after the accident to the Division, noting that it was " unsure" if he had been injured on the job or not. The Division denied the claim.
[¶ 9] Bourke filed suit in the Seventh Judicial District on August 8, 2011, five days before the statute of limitations for negligence and fraud found in Wyoming Statute § 1-3-105(a)(iv) would have expired. He alleged negligence against other rig workers named only as " Does," and fraud and wrongful termination against Grey Wolf. None of the coworkers were ever identified.
Page 1167
[¶ 10] Service was attempted at the Casper address reflected in the Wyoming Secretary of State's records for the Grey Wolf limited partnership, but the company no longer had an office there because it had been bought out by Precision Drilling. Bourke amended his complaint to add Precision Drilling as a party, and then amended his complaint a second time to allege additional facts regarding negligence and wrongful termination. He served Precision Drilling's agent for process both times.
[¶ 11] Precision Drilling responded by filing a motion to dismiss under Wyoming Rules of Civil Procedure 12(b)(3) and 12(b)(6). It claimed that venue was improper under Wyoming Statute § 1-5-107[2] because Precision Drilling is a foreign corporation and Bourke failed to file suit where he resided (Carbon County) or where the cause of action arose (Lincoln County) as required by that statute. It also claimed that Bourke failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted because his fraud claim was not pled with particularity, and because he failed to allege that he was fired for exercising a protected right in his retaliatory discharge claim.
[¶ 12] Bourke filed a response to the motion to dismiss and a motion for change of venue. He asserted that the case should be transferred to a different venue under W.R.C.P. 40.1(a) rather than dismissed as Precision Drilling had asked if in fact it was improperly venued. He also asked the court for leave to amend his complaint to cure the deficiencies Precision Drilling identified, but he failed to file a proposed third amended complaint or to specify how he would amend the existing pleading in the motion for leave to amend.
[¶ 13] The district court held a hearing on all motions, and ultimately entered a written order providing as follows: [3]
1. Precision Drilling's Motion to Dismiss is Granted as it relates to the arguments of Rule 12(b)(3). [Improper venue]
2. Precision Drilling's Motion to Dismiss is Granted as it relates to the arguments of Rule 12(b)(6). Specifically, the Court finds that Plaintiff failed to state ...

Amira Hass: 10/12/09
Young Palestinian women are being forced to into prostitution in brothels, escort services, and private apartments in Ramallah and Jerusalem, including areas inhabited by Jews, according to a report released Wednesday. The Palestinian organization SAWA (All Women Together Today and Tomorrow) published the paper, the first of its kind, urging Palestinian society to break its silence over its sex industry. The report was compiled with support by UNIFEM, the United Nations Development Fund for Women, which allotted resources for research on the subject. SAWA conducted research and interviews for the study in the beginning of 2008, but for a variety of reasons has only now been published. The report, which is titled "Trafficking and Forced Prostitution of Palestinian Women and Girls: Forms of Modern Day Slavery," was released in conjunction with the "Global 16-day Campaign to Combat Violence Against Women."

Handmade Tote/ Shoulder bag made from Vietnamese SILK and COTTON 63
Product description:
This is an individually handcrafted tote/shoulder bag made from Vietnamese high-quality SILK and COTTON.
The dark blue fabric used to create this bag is an Indigo Batik COTTON from the Hmong region in Vietnam, decorative middle part is made from handwoven pure SILK.
The artisan's handwork is revealed in each textile, including print density and block alignment; imperfections are characteristic that adds to the charm of this traditional technique
The dimensions are approx. 34cm high [not including the handle] x 37cm wide.
Handle - aprox. 27cm
Characteristics of the bag:
• Handmade item
• Natural materials – high-quality Vietnamese SILK and pure Indigo Batik COTTON
• We use natural sustainable dye from Indigo plant
• Unique
"Since ancient times Tribe Hmong people have used motifs and patterns to represent their daily life and culture onto the designs of their textiles. No two jackets, bags or skirts are the same, as every garment is handcrafted to communicate a stage in the owner's life."*1
What is Batik?
Batik is a "resist" process for making designs on fabric. The artist uses wax to prevent dye from penetrating the cloth, leaving "blank" areas in the dyed fabric.
What is Indigo Dye?
Indigo dye has been used for thousands of years by civilizations all over the world to dye fabric blue. As much as 1 tonne of leaves is needed to produce just 2kg of dye. Natural indigo is also a sustainable dye; after the pigment has been extracted the plant residue can be composted and used as a fertilizer and the water reused to irrigate crops.
The handmade nature of Hmong textiles means that they may have imperfections from the natural process of weaving, batik application and dying, often further adding to their character and uniqueness.
Colors may differ ever so slightly to the pictures due to different viewing monitors/device displays.
Fabric Care:
Wash fabric in cold/lukewarm water, ideally by hand, and shade dry. Salting the water slightly helps prevent further dye loss.

Ping pong, to many, is a sport that is known but not truly respected. It's a pastime that you would play for fun with friends, possibly at a pool or beach party. However, unbeknownst to the general public, there lies a small, yet fiery community of competitive ping pong players, many of whom are based in the Bay Area, which is a breeding ground for Olympic ping pong players.
Milpitas, San Mateo, and Sacramento, in particular are hubs of ping pong, where players train with coaches on one of several large ping pong sports centers. There, they compete in tournaments such as the Milpitas STIGA Open Tournament.
Evan Tung, junior at d.tech, is a competitive ping pong player (which, to those who are serious about it, is more often referred to as table tennis.) He's been involved with the sport since 2007. When asked about how he got into it, he replies, "I go to a church every Sunday, and there's a ping-pong table there. I used to play after the service when I was younger." Tung mentioned to his father how he likes the sport, and his dad took him very seriously. His father found Tung a club to play at, Peninsula Table Tennis Club in Burlingame. From there, the sport became a crucial part of Tung's life. He spends three to four hours, four days a week doing drills, practice, and conditioning with his personal coach. Tung has grown to become an amateur pro player, with a current rating of 2151. (Rating is based on winning or losing matches against better or worse opponents. For reference, a pro player is usually around 2500-3000.) Tung's rating is calculated by his performance in the USATT (United States of America Table Tennis) approved tournaments; he enters tourneys whenever they are open, which ranges from every few weeks to a few months.
William Bai, another competitive table tennis player and a freshman at Milpitas High School, offered his opinion on how the game has changed over the years, and what is currently considered the norm, or the "meta." He states, "In the late 90s, there was much more of a focus on strength. Now, the average ping pong player focuses more on the speed and spin of the ball. Since the ball size changed in 2012, table tennis strategies have changed as well. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but the current style of table tennis is most certainly different from how it once was."
Ping pong coach, Andrew Yen, talked about the technicalities and intricacies of the game. "There's a lot that most people would miss during a pro match," said Yen. "The larger, more noticeable things are, of course, speed, strength, spin, and technique. But the micros of the game go much further than you would think. Footwork, ball placement, game strategy, individual style, and adaptability all contribute to who wins and who loses."
d.tech sophomore, Ethan Yu, is a professional fencer who plays ping-pong casually. He says, "Ping pong is pretty fun, I don't mind playing or watching others play. It is pretty interesting as a sport though. It'd be cool if there were organized matches at d.tech or something."
It's clear that as a sport, table tennis has a little farther to go before it earns the recognition that other sports, such as tennis, enjoy. But regardless of how others view ping pong, it is a true sport in the eyes of table tennis players. Ping pong is more than just a sport that you play when drunk; it is a sport to be played with finesse and pride.

Seeds of Hunger
by Yves Billy and Richard Prost
Icarus Films
Food security. It's probably not something that many of us think about. We don't worry about where our next meal is coming from, what it will consist of, nor how much it will cost. Yet all over the world, from India and Asia to Great Britain and even the United States, food security is a growing concern.
Food shortages, the increased cost of staple items, crop losses and failures all contribute to the likelihood of decreased food security that is a reality for many. Billions of people are malnourished and starving, yet the increasing genetically modified, corporate-profit-driven policies do nothing to address the very hunger and scarcity they promised to defeat.
One part of food security is the creation of food deserts, more and more of which are appearing across the landscape. In the United States alone there are 803 counties that are considered food deserts. These are areas with populations so rural that everyone living there is 10 miles or more from a grocery store with fresh fruits and vegetables. Sadly these areas are often highly populated with fast food restaurants and cheap non-nutritious food stores.
Seeds of Hunger, named the Best Documentary at the 2009 Bourges International Festival of Environmental Films, was filmed on three continents and looks closely at these issues and others. It examines the rising number of components which contribute to the growing crisis of food insecurity and instability. Interviews with many different people along the food chain from farmers to manufacturers, exporters, and even financial analysts provide a dramatic picture of food used for fuel, food riots, and how this trend is reshaping the eating habits of billions of people. The film helps viewers understand our changed global economy and it's impact on social structure.
The trailer is available on YouTube.
I originally wrote this for a private client. They are no longer publishing their newsletter and I am now able to share this review with you.

This post was in Drafts for a year.
I had for long thought of visiting the Golden triangle: Jaipur, Udiapur, Agra,Delhi. Wish comes true in parts.
If you think you need lot many days to cover this Golden triangle, you need just 3days, 1day for each.
One destination covered : Jaipur-The Pink City, the capital of Rajasthan, hub of art crafts, kingdom still ruled by kings.
Over the Christmas weekend my husband had a client visit in Jaipur, so I joined in for a much needed vacation. Though of 3 days, it was good !
Here is our travel/exploration experience of Jaipur. I have given tips, alerts, trivia wherever necessary.
I have divided the post into parts.
Travel : Jaipur visit in 1 day
Travel: Jaipur- Albert Museum and Birla Temple
Travel: Jaipur- Hava Mahal and Jantar Mantar
Travel: Jaipur-City Palace and Jaigarh Fort/Jaivana Canon
Travel: Jaipur-Amber or Amer Palace and Jal Mahal
Travel: Jaipur-Bapu Bazar
We flew from Mumbai to Jaipur on Friday, 21st December 2012. Next day while my husband went for his client visit I roamed around our hotel premises: Alsisar Haveli. It was a Haveli of just 10 rooms earlier, 10 years ago looking at the tourisim boom, they converted it into a 2 storied hotel keeping in mind the old rustic architecture with modern amenities. It is 25 minutes away from the airport.
* Keep in mind, if your hotel cant arrange for a vehicle to pick you up, find a radio cab kind of cab company from Jaipur and arrange for pick up. The Government prepaid taxi's are looting you. For 25 minutes of journey we were charged Rs. 400. While returning we hired a Metro Cab service, the charge was Rs. 280, as per meter. :p
Here are a few images of the hotel we stayed at. Its a good hotel for its price. We opted for Bed & Breakfast option. They have a nice restaurant with buffet for breakfast & dinner. Lunch you can order off the menu. The staff is very friendly & helpful. Try the masala tea there :)
In the evening my hubby, hired a cab driver to take us around the entire of next day, visiting the most famous tourist spots around Jaipur. The driver suggested that for dinner we should try a famous eating out place on the outskirts of the city-Chowkidhani.
*When hiring any vehicle (even auto rickshaws) fix on the fare for the entire route along with any other charges. The drivers later crib, argue with you for minor expenses and spoil the entire experience. Our driver at the end demanded money for parking charges at Chowkidhani, when he felt we werent generous enough in tipping him for the 1 1/2days of traveling. We didnt hire him the next day for our shopping spree & airport drop seeing his modes of extracting unnecessary money.
* The auto rickshaws are supposed to ply and bill you as per meter, but they ask for triple the amount for the ride. So insist upon paying as per meter or look for another auto. Also have a rough idea of how much it will cost for the ride. Avoid local or gov run buses.
|The Chowkidhani-new. One of the to-be-visited theme restaurant. It gives you the feel of Rajasthan, along with great food.
There are 2 Chowkidhani restaurants facing opposite each other. We went to the new one. Our driver said the old one is too much crowded, one doesnt get their food on time. We were later told the old one is better than the new one :D.
At the entrance you pay a one time price per person for the entire experience. We paid Rs.450each. There are some items on the list which you separately pay for.The main dinner is at the end. You are told the time slot you will be served dinner till then you can enjoy the Village atmosphere Live.
You are greeted with garlands and tikka, trumpets playing. Jal jeera is served as welcome drink. In the middle of the evening we went back for more Jal jeera glasses, cause that seemed to correct our tummy of acidity after eating so many different types of appetizers before the actual dinner.
|Rajasthani traditional dance. Greeting guests with music & small campfires around this stage to keep you warm.
|Masala Chai & Pakora. It was so yummy on a cold evening, I kept going back to this stall for more :D. Wasn't interested in dinner after this ;)
|Toy shop. Jaipur is famous for wooden toys. You need to pay for these.
|Rajasthani dance. This lady danced with pots on her head, then on steel glasses, then on shards of glass.
The dinner at the end. Thats my plate, dont like wasting food. I had my fill of appetizers so was stopping them from serving me anything else. But no luck. They are hell-bent on stuffing you till you are ready to burst :D, thats hospitality for them. They will serve you loads & loads of ghee, jaggery, roti's, jalebi's,.... The servers are camera friendly & know how to operate all types of cameras, so give them you camera, let them deck the guys with you in the traditional pagdi and smile for a picture :).
Check the next day's post. We roamed around the city and its famous palaces, museums, forts.
Next is Albert Museum and Birla temple.
