Desiring you could quit your day job is the first stage on your way to possessing your own business. Figuring out what kind of business to start comes next. To get new business ideas rolling, ask yourself what you are good and what you like to do.
Exactly how to monetize your hobby
Hobbies that could hypothetically be monetized and turned into businesses include painting, woodworking, baking, web design, dog training, literally anything that delivers value to others. The problem is that many of us are afraid to take action, even when we know we have a marketable skill, because we are scared of failure. We dread that if we attempt to monetize a hobby and fail, we'll no longer feel joy or satisfaction from the activity at all or others will regard us contrarily. This can be a frightening proposition that may avert many talented individuals from pursuing their dream. Trying to monetize a hobby isn't easy, but on the other hand, it certainly isn't rocket science. With a little planning and strategic bookkeeping execution, you can enjoy a positive result. Listed below are a few guidelines:
Create a plan
In order to begin monetizing your hobby, you have to develop a game plan. This plan will evidently have to be tweaked along the way, but it's valuable to have a strategy in place from the start. This may not be your particular game plan, but you need one of some kind. There's nothing smart about diving in recklessly and hoping things work out.
Get your first sale
You don't need to go from hobby to million-dollar business in a matter of days. Your number one objective in the beginning stages is to get your first sale. Whether that means making a $5 sale or signing a $5,000 retainer, your first sale is the toughest and most significant sale you'll ever make.There are plenty of bookkeeping strategies for really getting your first sale, but it all depends on the merchandise you're selling. If you're retailing a service, you may want to start by offering a free trial and producing some word of mouth. If it's a product, a good product placement and marketing in the right places can lead to a sale.
Maximize your time
For many people, working a full-time job and then spending extra hours pursuing a hobby isn't practical. Between kids, a significant other, friends, and social requirements, you simply don't have enough hours in the day. In the preliminary phases, you'll have to get inventive about how you use your time. Maybe you need to wake up an hour earlier than you're used to and get some stuff done before your regular job. Alternatively, it could mean including your kids in your hobby so you can spend time with them while still achieving new things.
Build an online presence
In business today, everyone needs an online presence to produce activity. This means creating and maintaining a website, social media profiles, and everything else that goes into imprinting yourself as a professional.
A few people will stumble across you online, but a lot of business success happens via word of mouth and networking. You have to be ready to be active on this side of self-promotion, as well. Find clubs, conferences, and groups in your specialty that caters to other specialists in the niche. You'll learn a lot on these occasions and get the chance to socialize with people who are at the same stage as you and preferably a little further.
Treat it like a job
The final piece of advice is to treat your hobby like a job. If you want it to become your main source of income someday or at least a maintainable second stream of income, then you have to give it the devotion it deserves. Carve out time to work on your hobby, read about the industry, learn about sales and marketing, and dedicate yourself to steady improvement. This is how to achieve positive results.
There's also something to be said for learning through trial and error. If you're decent at what you do and there's a market for your hobby, then there's no reason why you can't monetize it and earn a second stream of revenue. Plunge in and see what happens.

Hey y'all! Sorry we've been MIA! Chef Des & I haven't been able to post as much as we'd like since homework & everyday life has been keeping us very busy! Needless to say this whole household is counting down the days, weeks, & months until summer break!! While we haven't been able to post, we have been busy with some parties & in the kitchen, things I still plan to share soon. I did want to take a few minutes to talk to you about Blue Apron meals. Have you heard of them yet?? Let me say we have been impressed so far. What is it? Blue Apron is a weekly delivery service that sends the supplies needed to cook gourmet meals directly to your door with easy to follow step-by-step directions. There are so many things I love about this company!! You can cancel at any time or opt to skip weeks with ease! They send you high quality ingredients… non-gmo products, meat with no added hormones or antibiotics used, only sustainable seafood, fresh beautiful produce, high quality meats, etc. They partner with growers that use regenerative farming practices to replenish their land. You skip the middle man like grocery stores that often pick ingredients before they ripe. Instead, you get fresher, high-quality food from the farm to the kitchen, avoiding long and wasteful detours at costly grocery stores. They avoid waste by only growing what they need & sending you just the right amount of those produce items so you don't end up throwing unused portions away. They even offer free recycling services for packaging that cannot be recycled under normal at home conditions. My favorite part though is the recipes! I have stated before how blah daily cooking can become… I mean how many times can you serve your family the same rotation of recipes… tacos, spaghetti, meatloaf… it gets old, & dinner planning & cooking becomes a dreaded chore which especially sucks for someone like me that likes to, well, used to like to cook. That all has changed with Blue Apron… I am enjoying adding new fresh meals in between our normal go-to dinners. We are trying recipes & ingredients we've never even had before! My 10 year old has started to love veggies I never even thought she'd try before like spinach, kale, napa cabbage, ginger, shallots, etc. I've wanted to try gnocchi forever but never knew how to cook it or what to make with it & guess what showed up on our menu for the first week! Ok I think I've got off on a tangent… how does it work? You have two delivery options… (info copied from Blue Apron website)
They preselect meals based on your plan & preferences, but you can easily choose another meal offered for your week if the ones picked aren't appealing to you. When signing up, you can also choose what meats you & your family prefer & vegetarian options are available as well. There are no shipping costs. The Blue Apron meal app is so easy to use allowing you to see upcoming meal schedule, make choice changes, or chose to skip any week you'd like to fit your needs. You are only charged for the weeks you chose to receive meals & like I said before able to cancel at any time. So I think I've covered most of the whats are far as the service so far, but on to what you actually are receiving & what happens after that box is delivered at your door. Oh wait, before I forget… delivery… 1st) You can pick whatever day you'd like to receive your shipment. 2nd) Perishables delivered to the door? What if I'm not home? What if you live in Florida like we do? No need to worry! They are safely packed in an insulated box with long lasting icepacks allowing you plenty of time to get home from work or picking up kids in long car lines keeping everything nice & cold until you are able to transfer things to your fridge. Anyways, back to what I was saying… I love to cook, but I'm self-taught & learning as I go. The step-by-step are full proof. Actually Chef Des (my 10 year old, if you missed my last post) has been helping me make our Blue Apron meals & honestly though we have been cooking together could easily follow the instructions & cook these fancy dishes on her own! I'm sorry if this post is jumping all over the place… Darn ADD! Lol So let's show you some pictures… these are of our very first family plan order…
Not very good pics plus I am doing this post on the WordPress phone app for the first time so bare with me.
Check out the cute little packaging in the spices & dry ingredients! Oh side note… the only recipe ingredients not supplied are salt, pepper, & olive oil… things most households have on hand.
Some actions shots of Chef Des helping me cook our first meal. Please excuse the messy kitchen… we live in a very small apartment with very little kitchen storage or counter space. Ok so I feel like I've covered a lot of info about Blue Apron's services & what you get, but how about a few pictures of the recipes we've cooked? (PS The Blue Apron app allows you to take pictures of your food, add recipe headers, & share them to your favorite social media platforms!)
Just a few of all the wonderful meals out there, & look at all the variety & veggies! We're only on our 3rd week, and I am the biggest fan. Want to see more? Check out Blue Apron's Instagram page here or on Facebook here! Not only is Blue Apron a dinner slam dunk, but the app also offers tips & videos to help you unleash your inner chef. I haven't tried it out yet, but they also offer wine parings you can purchase to compliment your meal. Oh crap, I just thought of something else I wanted to mention. Does the price seem high to you? Honestly, I first thought "I'm not sure this is an expense I can justify", but then I broke it down. I honestly probably spend about the same per person on our boring, everyday meals, plus, as I sometimes do, I try new recipes & have to purchase ingredients that I either never use again or, when I do, I realize they have expired. If I just went out to make these meals, I would spend way more buying produce & spices in larger quantities that necessary (example a whole bunch of green onions when I only need 2 or a bottle of sesame oil when I only need a couple tablespoons). The proportioned seasonings, sauces, & produce is another cost & waste saving thing I love about Blue Apron! Plus your family is going to think you went out & became a chef when they weren't looking! Does Blue Apron sound like something your family would like to try? I can help you out with that!! How about your first week of meals free? Yep… 2 family plan meals or 3 2-person meals absolutely free with no commitment, no catches! Believe me you will NOT be disappointed!! How you ask? Just comment your name & email address below & I will send you all the info! Thanks for reading! I can't wait to hear from any current Blue Apron users as well as those who would like to give it a whirl! Please, I'd love some feedback! Have a great day & happy cooking!!
[Quick disclaimer before I post: This is not sponsored by Blue Apron! I just love the company & wanted to share. The free meals are something every Blue Apron user is given to share with family & friends after they have received a few orders & I chose to offer my readers mine. If you want to get the information straight from the horses mouth so to say or just need more info, check out their website here or look for the Blue Apron app on your smartphone!]

Though we have nothing but love for his competitors Mary Katrantzou, Peter Pilotto, Emilia Wickstead and Roksanda Ilincic, we're very pleased to learn that the always-out-there Nicholas Kirkwood is the recipient of this year's BFC/Vogue Fashion Fund award!
The bad boy and much-beloved star of the footwear world will receive £200,000 (just over $300,000) in addition to mentoring from top industry leaders and a specially tailored 18-month business plan. "It's particularly exciting to be here tonight knowing that the recipient of the second BFC/Vogue designer fund award Christopher Kane has now got the support of the big international PPR conglomerate," said British Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman. "The winner we ultimately chose was because we were impressed by how they had developed their business along with turning beautiful designs into a brand identity that is already admired worldwide and which has potential for growth."
It's a well-deserved honour for the Central Saint Martins graduate — and we know this means better, bigger things to come. Can't wait to see what's next... (WWD)

These Blueberry Cheesecake Popsicles are a simple and delicious treat to whip up this summer (oh, and they're actually healthy too!) The flavorful combo of blueberry and cheesecake, that we all know and love, blend together beautifully creating a delicious summertime dessert, similar in taste to our no-bake blueberry cheesecake!
Blueberry Cheesecake Popsicles
I think one of the most worth-it impulses online buys I've ever made was my popsicle mold. Virtually anything that makes a good smoothie also makes a good popsicle (and you know how I love smoothies!)
You can make breakfast ones, healthy snack ones…heck, even boozy ones. But today we're taking it back to the flavor basics with Blueberry Cheesecake Popsicles that have just 4 ingredients and just 5 minutes of hands-on time.
The fiber from the blueberries prevents these pops from freezing into solid blocks, while the cream cheese and yogurt make them extra creamy and soft.
To make these Blueberry Cheesecake Popsicles you'll need:
- 1 cup blueberries
- ½ cup cream cheese
- ½ cup yogurt
- 2 Tbsp honey or maple syrup (to taste)
Kitchen tools you may find useful:
Making these popsicles is honestly so easy. No having to make a simple syrup, no complicated ingredients or steps. You'll just blend everything together and pour into molds. That's it!
Check out more delicious popsicle recipes below…
Blueberry Cheesecake Popsicles
- 1 cup blueberries
- ½ cup cream cheese
- ½ cup yogurt
- 2 Tbsp honey or maple syrup to taste
- Combine all ingredients in a blender until smooth, adding more honey as needed to suit your taste.
- Pour into molds, leaving a little space at the top for them to expand. Insert sticks and freeze until hard (at least 4 hours).
- Run the mold under warm water for a few seconds to loosen them up, then remove from the mold.

BBQ was absolutely off the hook, Distant Worlds was awesome, the Nobuo interview was pretty unreal, the panel absolutely rocked (despite some sound issues), I had $44 dollars shoved down my shirt by the audience, hibachi was hilarious, and just playing games and hanging out in-general made the weekend a complete success.Looking forward to having the same experience next year.

Arsenal defender Mathieu Debuchy has reportedly held transfer talks over a move to AS Roma in January.
The France right-back has struggled to win back his place in the Gunners' starting line-up since an injury last season, with youngster Hector Bellerin now the preferred option for Arsene Wenger.
According to BuzzSport, there may also be interest from Paris Saint-Germain in Debuchy, though a move to Roma seems the likelier outcome.
PSG already have plenty of options in that position, while Roma have a long-standing interest in the 30-year-old and look to be leading the race for his signature this winter.

There is more to hiking, than just hiking
Ever wonder what goes on in the woods when you send your kids to Learning on the Log? As in all of our groups, the designated activity (hiking, swimming, tumbling, karate, etc.) is only the catalyst that brings the group together. What the kids actually learn and experience, is so much more than that. We have numerous games and activities to try, never the same activity twice. We play hide and seek, imaginative games like "pet shop", we utilize all of our different senses with games that require the kids to use only one sense at a time, we work on strength and balancing, we build boats out of materials we find in the woods and we launch them in the water, we challenge the kids to try things they might be uncomfortable with, and we support them through each and every one of these experiences. As there is in any group, fights and arguments break out, and kids have melt downs when things don't go their way. But we see these behaviors, as nothing more than a great opportunity to help the kids work through these complex emotions, and start to feel confident in communicating what is going on. They leave feeling like they have been heard, their opinions and their feelings matter, they can try new things and they will not be judged, they can fail and/or succeed and they will have all the support necessary to make it through. In the end, there is much more to "hiking" with Learning on the Log, than "just hiking".

Dear Miss M and Miss H,
I have a little secret for you that everyone already knows: You are spectacular. You are incredible gifts that leave us in awe of God. Your hearts, your joy – it's all this beautiful reminder that Someone knit you together and hand-crafted such magnificent humans.
I have yet another secret – that everyone already knows. You two hit the jackpot on your parents. These two – they love people with their whole hearts. They show up when it's hard. They fight to see the good. To spend time with them leaves us all better. And laughing harder. I know you'll have your days with them. (They will probably have the same with you.) But they will always choose to love you. I know it. They've built their lives upon it. And that, sweet little ones is likely the greatest gift we can give anyone. To pledge to always choose to love. (even if it takes us a bit to get there)
I pray that you will fill your days with continued joy and laughter. That when the sorrows come, you can find love and rest in one another. (And most especially in God as He's absolutely crazy about you and loves you so much) I pray that you will grow to love with your whole hearts, just like your mommy and daddy.
I love you to the moon and back. And your mommy and daddy? I still can't find the right words to wrap around how much I love them. They've given me one of my most treasured gifts in life – a backstage pass to some of their most special moments. I got to see them celebrate the joy of deciding to run through life together. I watched your mommy and daddy run to each other on their wedding day. I watched the giddy joy they shared as they waited for Miss M to arrive. I watched them hold you Miss M with grateful arms when you were 10 days new. And this time I got to see them with their arms and hearts so full of love it overflowed once again and twice over. Every time my heart leaves a little bigger because of them: a little more loving, a little more tender, a lot more grateful. For all of this, I am forever grateful.

Reviewed before in a marvelous flower from one of my favorite shops, now closed, in Garden Grove, Super Lemon Haze is a perfectly blended indica/sativa hybrid of Lemon Skunk and Super Silver Haze. This time out, we are reviewing a wax medium of this person favorite strain from Orange County Patient Care in Santa Ana.
There isn't much of the original sweet citrusy zest that you can taste when smoking Super Lemon Haze as a flower. All thicker wax seems to have an aftertaste for me that takes away from the original essence. Although it's not as flavorful as a shatter or a nice green hit of flower, it's still a light vape with slender hints of sweet citrus and cleaner. Even out of my Cloud, it was fresh and expansive in the base of my lungs. It's not nearly as harsh as a darker wax would be. This sample from OCPC is a bright brown, but it is visibly shiny with crystals. It is a great working consistency, where at room temperature it can be handled by hand. I easily pulled out pieces of this concentrate and rolled it into a small ball to load my vape without a hint of mess, yet it isn't too dry to create a lush cloud of vapor.
The high off of Super Lemon Haze is well balanced between both sativa and indica effects. There is a fine social quality to this strain, and even a practiced introvert like me was looking to chat up strangers. There is a fun quality to SLH that I thoroughly enjoy. It is a great for mood elevation, and joined with its pain relieving properties from its indica genetics, I could see this strain helping anyone getting over injury or chronic pain that is also experiencing depression as a side effect.

I've always had to watch what I ate. I was never overweight, but there were times growing up when I carried extra pounds. I had been successful on many diets, but none of them were the lasting lifestyle change needed. I have always exercised. I've used videos and had gym memberships. The problem was it would get boring. I would stop for a few months… and start again. When exercise didn't help me lose weight it would discourage me. I decided to start taking classes at a local gym, but unfortunately, I grew bored with the less than motivating instructors.
In 2009 I decided to join Ellipse. I have been a member ever since and still love it. The program is designed in a way so I never have to think about what I am going to do and they always change it up to keep my muscles confused. While cardio is great, it's important for me to never miss a strength class. Ellipse offers many classes every day, so I always have an option for my schedule.
The instructors always make me feel important by keeping everything personal. The best part is being back to the weight I was when I was 19. I can finally see that "Ellipse Body" I've worked so hard for. Ellipse gave me that body and I will always be truly thankful to them and to myself for all the hard work I have done to get here.

At the beginning of the off-season, Sandy Alderson said one of the areas he wanted to improve upon was the club's bullpen ahead of the 2016 season in an effort to create less of a dependence on the starting rotation and create shutdown formula with Jeurys Familia at the end of the game.
But so far this winter, the Mets haven't done much to address their bullpen with the exception of retaining Jerry Blevins and signing Buddy Carlyle and Jim Henderson to minor league deals.
And Blevins comes with question marks of his own, as he's coming back from a twice broken left arm in 2015, which limited him to seven games and season-ending surgery in August.
As such, in addition to finding another right-handed reliever, the Mets could be looking at shoring up the left side of their bullpen as well, as Buster Olney of ESPN says the Mets have been in discussions with LHP Antonio Bastardo.
Olney says the Orioles have also been in discussions with Bastardo.
Bastardo had an up-and-down 2015 season with the Pirates in 2015, but was stellar in the second half after posting a 4-1 record and a 2.32 ERA in 34 appearances down the stretch. He was dominant in general, holding opponents to a .188 average overall, but he was especially stingy against left-handed hitters, allowing only 17 lefties to reach base all year which was good for a .138/.233/.215 line.
Bastardo is a flyball pitcher with a low-90s fastball. He used it a lot more in 2015 and shied away from his change-up, which could be attributed to his success considering he saw a modest uptick in velocity during the year. In fact, opponents hit under .150 against Bastardo's fastball in the second half of the season.
He would be an excellent fit for the Mets, but if the Mets sign Bastardo and both he and Blevins stay healthy, there might not be room for Josh Edgin once he returns from Tommy John Surgery. But certainly a tandem of Bastardo and Blevins on the left side of the bullpen would be among the league's best, giving the Mets a good problem to deal with once Edgin returns.
There is, of course, the issue of what Bastardo might be able to command in free agency. Teams have clearly been willing to pay a premium for relievers this winter as they emphasize strengthen the bullpen and shortening games. As a result, more and more relievers are getting multi-year deals, including Darren O'Day, Tony Sipp, Joakim Soria, and Ryan Madson.
Those multi-year deals should be able to net Bastardo a multi-year deal for himself, and it remains to be seen if the Mets consider going that route – especially for a reliever – after being seemingly reluctant to give multi-year deals to other players not named Ben Zobrist and Asdrubal Cabrera.
And for now, the Mets are unwilling to give Bastardo a multi-year deal, tweets Mike Puma of the New York Post.

Thanks for the updates. What's the good word on Sandy..hope his treatment is going according to plan. Best of Luck to all in 2016🍀, especially in the health department.
He is the better option over Clippard at this point since Clippard has been in decline over the past 3 years. This would be a good signing for our bullpen. I think after this we are set for 2016 with our pitching. We would definitely be stronger than we started last year in the bullpen. A two year deal would be ideal. Let's see if that will happen. Dare I say 2 years $12 mill with a vesting option?
Three years $15-16 million total would be fine. Relievers are unpredictable, but he is likely to produce at least two good years out of three. One year deal means having to go through this again next year.
After going over a number of the blog posts on your website,
I truly appreciate your way of writing a blog.
I added it to my bookmark website list and will be checking back soon. Take a look at my web site
as well and tell me what you think.

Facts You Never Knew About The Cast of 'Scandal'
ABC Television Network
Abby, The Deadliest Catch
Darby Stanchfield plays Abby Whelan, and she's come a long way to get to D.C. She actually grew up in small-town Alaska. Her father was a crab fisherman and in an interview she revealed that the Discovery Channel reality series Deadliest Catch actually films in her old neighborhood in Dutch Harbor.
Huck In Drag
Some of you remember Guillermo Díaz from Chappelle's Show, many of us remember him on Weeds, but if you haven't seen Stonewall, you're truly missing out on a completely different side of the actor. In the 1995 film he plays a drag queen named La Miranda. The film tells the powerful story of the police raid on the Greenwich Village Stonewall bar, and the riot that would go down in gay rights history.
Cyrus Has The Hook-Up
Although Jeff Perry says that "nepotism does not actually work in Hollywood", it's very interesting to know that he's married to the casting director for all things Shondaland. Linda Lowy and Perry have been married for some time now and they have one daughter– so Perry (who played Thatcher Grey on Grey's Anatomy) has definitely got the hook-up. But we know that the real reason he's playing Cyrus Beene is because nobody else could pull off a work-related, afternoon heart attack like he did last season.
Olivia, Subsitute Teacher?
Can you imagine walking into class one day and seeing Kerry Washington standing in front of the blackboard? Because this used to happen to children in New York City schools on a daily basis. Washington worked as a sub right through her first few gigs, but finally had to retire after students started to recognize her as Chenille from Save the Last Dance.

There is also a general local trend in upper crest of society to display luxurious consumption. This particular house showed great restraint on that in the outside and as compared to the neibours it is too 'frugal'. But the interior has been following the local upper class taste, with very little complaince to the restraints put by the architects. The interior executed by the local contractors has little understanding of the value of restrained design. It also happens that at the finishing of interiors, the architects happens to have little say especially if worked form longer distance. It was an experience, but the conundrum of clashing design values tilts more in the favour of what the clients class of local society apreciates. The design is appreciated for what others say than what is inherently valued. Sensitvity has a uphill task in that situation. One is left with the only option of giving it all up.

CFTC Issues New Guidance Relating to Virtual Currency Regulations: CFTC Issues Guidance on "Actual Delivery" Requirements for Virtual Currency Retail Commodity Transactions and Releases Backgrounder on Virtual Currency Regulatory FrameworkSullivan & Cromwell LLP - January 31, 2018
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission continues its focus on virtual currencies and virtual currency futures contracts. On December 20, 2017, the CFTC published a proposed interpretation of the actual delivery requirements in the context of virtual currency retail commodity transactions. The CFTC noted that it will continue to follow previous guidance on actual delivery requirements, and that virtual currency retail commodity transactions will be exempt from CFTC oversight only when (1) the buyer has the ability to (a) take possession and control of the entire amount of virtual currency transferred through the transaction, regardless of whether the transaction involved a financing arrangement and (b) use the transferred virtual currency freely in commerce, and (2) The seller (including any affiliates or other persons acting in concert with the seller) does not retain any interest or control in the virtual currency transferred. Following the release of the proposed interpretation, the CFTC, on January 4, 2018, published the Backgrounder, a memorandum addressing the various sources of virtual currency regulation, the CFTC's "heightened review" of virtual currency self-certifications, and the CFTC's approach to virtual currency regulation more generally.

Last week Nokia's share price dropped 14 percent after the company predicted it would be announcing worse-than-expected results for Q1 2012. Today it has revealed the full extent of those results, posting an operating loss for the three months to the end of March, of €1.34bn (£1.1bn).
Nokia Results Q1 2012:
- Smartphone sales down over 50 percent
- Revenue down 29 percent
- Net loss of €929 million
- Share price down 60 percent since annoucning Microsoft deal
While Nokia has warned of bigger-than-expected lossed, the reported €1.34bn loss missed analysts' expectations (a €731m loss) by a wide margin, confirming the company's own bad omens a week ago. The operating loss of €1.34bn this year compared to an operating profit of €439m during the same three month period in 2011.
Revenue dropped a huge 29 percent to just €7.35bn with net loss reported as €929m for the quarter, compared to a €344m net profit in Q1 2011. This again missed analysts' expectations of a €554m net loss by a big margin.
"We are navigating through a significant company transition in an industry environment that continues to evolve and shift quickly," Nokia's Chief Executive Stephen Elop said. "Over the last year we have made progress on our new strategy, but we have faced greater than expected competitive challenges."
The transition Elop is speaking about is the move from its own Symbian operating system to the Windows Phone platform of Microsoft. Nokia launched its first Windows Phone devices in October last year and last week the company said it was pleased with the way sales of this Lumia range of phones had gone, claiming it had sold 2 million units in the last quarter.
In the report issued today, Nokia said in total it shipped 82.7m devices in the first three months of 2012, compared to 108.5m during the same period last year. Taken in isolation, its smartphone shipments (both Windows Phone and Symbian) of 11.9m are down over 50 percent compared to this time last year (24.2m).
Looking at the part of the company related to mobile phones, Devices & Services, Nokia reported the first-quarter operating margin at this, its largest unit, was a negative 5.2 percent. And things are not expected to get better any time soon with Nokia saying it said it expects the second quarter to be similar to, or below, the first quarter level.
In a bid to turn things around Nokia said it is planning to accelerate and substantially deepen cost savings for its Devices & Services unit and will give further details soon. The Finnish company has already cut 14,000 jobs in the past 12 months and is aiming to cut €1bn from its operating costs by next year.
Nokia is fighting a battle on two fronts. It is trying to complete with the likes of Apple, Samsung and HTC in the high-end sector of the mobile phone market with devices like the Lumia 800 and Lumia 900, while it is continuing to produce feature phones for emerging markets, such as its Asha ragne of devices.
However, with cheap devices from the likes of ZTE, Huawei and other Asian manufacturers, based on the Android platform, flooding the market, it is struggling to compete in a market it once dominated. Nokia was the world's biggest mobile phone vendor in 2011, a title it has held for a long time, but that title will soon (if it hasn't already) pass to Samsung, as Nokia's decline intensifies.
Since it announced its deal with Microsoft in early 2011, Nokia shares have lost 60 percent of their value and it is no longer Finlands most valuable company.

When they pass their Pirate Ship, I let them walk the plank! Which means they get to stand up on the table (while holding my hand) and walk across the table and then jump off the edge into the ocean :). The kids absolutely love this! And it really encourages those other kiddos who maybe haven't passed theirs yet. When they pass their ship, I also put their name on a die cut pirate ship and place it on my cabinet. That way, we get to see who has passed!
This is a close up of what my signs say. After they pass their pirate ship, they move on to their rainbow words. Once they pass their rainbow, they get their name put on a rainbow die cut and its placed on the cabinet also. PICTURE OF RAINBOW- COMING SOON!

Hike up trough thin air and open your singular eye to the vision of the Sacred Mountain Kulshan.
Pure Earth energy is clearing the mind and the body.
Energy or Zenergy is everywhere, but it is more powerfully felt near the great volcanic peaks of the west coast.
This is a Corel Painter altered photo, the result of a recent hike in the Mt Baker area 2 hours Southeast of Vancouver, BC.
These peaks were mostly renamed by European sailors and explorers but their Native names seem more appropriate:
Mt Shasta in Northern California….Shasta
Mt Hood in Oregon….Wy'East
Mt Rainier in Washington……Ti Swaq (new proposed Native name)
Mt. Adams = Pah Do
Mt. Baker = Kulshan
Mt. St. Helens = Suek
A Zen koan (Chinese Kung'an) to illustrate this painting:
A monk asked Shao Shan: "Is there any phrase which is neither right or wrong?" Shao Shan answered, "A piecs of white cloud does not show any ugliness."

LONDON — The privatization of public services "was one of the central means of reversing the corrosive and corrupting effects of socialism," Margaret Thatcher wrote in her memoirs. "Just as nationalisation was at the heart of the collectivist programme by which Labour governments sought to remodel British society, so privatisation is at the centre of any programme of reclaiming territory for freedom."
Those sentiments fueled a sell-off that put nearly every state-owned service or property in Britain on the auction block in the final decade of the 20th century, eventually including the country's expansive public transportation infrastructure. Enshrined by parliamentary acts under Mrs. Thatcher and implemented by her two immediate successors, John Major, a Conservative, and Tony Blair of New Labour, the gospel of privatization was embraced by leaders around the world, notably including Mrs. Thatcher's closest overseas ally, President Ronald Reagan.
In the realm of transportation, that gospel was soon betrayed by its own chief disciples. Put simply, there were few private-sector buyers with the expertise and deep pockets necessary to maintain control of a transit system that serves approximately seven billion passengers per year. With minimal transparency, operational ownership of the network of train and bus lines that crisscross the 607-square-mile sprawl of Greater London, linking it to the far-flung corners of Britain, was peddled in bits and pieces by the British state or acquired in corporate takeovers.
But the new bosses were not private, business-savvy British firms. By 2000, the masters of British public transit — thanks to a scheme that was intended to replace state waste and sloth with soundly capitalist business principles — were foreign governments, most of them members of the European Union.
In short, the privatization devolved into a de facto re-nationalization — but under the direction of foreign states — that somehow went largely unnoticed. It now poses a startling and unprecedented dilemma thanks to Brexit, which will soon divorce Britain from the state bureaucracies beyond the English Channel that literally keep its economy in motion.
The largest single stakeholder and operator in British transit is the Federal Republic of Germany, the country that Boris Johnson, the pro-Brexit Conservative politician who is now foreign minister, accused of using the European Union to carry out Hitler's plan for Europe.
Germany is followed closely in the ranks of British transit bosses by France, proprietor of the London United bus system, among many other holdings. Its iconic red double-deckers openly announce themselves as the property of the RATP Group (Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens), the state-owned Paris transport company, and are emblazoned with its logo of a zigzagging River Seine flowing through an abstract representation of the French capital.
No country on earth comes close to Britain's peculiar status as a modern nation and economy knitted together by transportation networks that are overwhelmingly in the hands of foreign states. Of Britain's 23 major train operators, 18 are now foreign-run — 16 of them by European Union governments and two by China. A majority of the 1.7 billion passenger rail journeys undertaken in Britain each year are now on foreign-managed trains, in addition to most of its 4.5 billion bus trips.
Deutsche Bahn, technically organized as a private corporation but with a single stockholder — the German government — owns the Arriva bus network in metropolitan London and nationwide, along with six train lines. French state firms, through various joint ventures and subsidiaries, preside over another six. The Dutch state railway is the owner of Abellio, which runs three lines, along with an enormous number of Transport for London bus services. Italy's Trenitalia is the proprietor of another rail line.
Eurostar, Britain's rail link to continental Europe, which annually speeds around 10 million people between London and Paris, is a joint venture controlled by France and Belgium, the country that hosts the headquarters of the European Union.
Other owners of British transit lines include the former colonial possessions of Singapore and Hong Kong, which is today effectively a subsidiary of China. In the name of asserting capitalist freedom over state collectivism, a 30 percent stake in the South Western Railway — a critical carrier across heavily populated southern England — has been sold to a one-party Communist state (albeit with extensive experience in capitalist enterprise). Beijing will also operate the new Crossrail Line, which will start its central London services in December, and eventually run from the eastern commuter county of Essex to the western English heartland of Buckingham and Berkshire.
Most of these transit operations are reliably profitable, contradicting the privatization gospel's fundamental tenet that state enterprises are incorrigible wastrels. In 2015-16, the overall rail system's bottom line was nearly £300 million ($420 million) in the black.
By March 29, 2019, if the current departure schedule is met, either with a formal agreement or with no agreement at all, Britain will no longer be in the European Union. But its transportation system will be.
It may not have mattered that the German, French, Dutch, Italian and Spanish governments owned the companies franchised to run Britain's transit system when London was an integral player in the European Union. Fellow European Union member states were treated as welcome investors — beneficiaries of eased regulatory controls that were intended to stimulate growth in the British private sector — when British private firms were unable to match their bids. But it will be more difficult, if not impossible, to rationalize that curious arrangement after Brexit.
The central promise of those who wanted Britain to leave the European Union was to return full economic, political and legal sovereignty: a dubious premise in a post-European Union Britain whose employees and managers, public and private alike, are delivered to their jobs by RATP and Deutsche Bahn.

As a follow-up to our email to you on Friday, the CIDNA Committee would like to consider a modification to the C-Shaped Option that you presented. The modification would include the addition of a step-back on the entire Greenway side to let in sun, improve the neighborhood interface to the north side, and eliminate the wall effect along the Greenway. Perhaps the project could be filled in to the south to increase floor area, or other floor area solutions could be proposed to offset the step-back. Units would face the Greenway, with attractive facade, to create a soft neighborhood feel, and perhaps there would be an opening along the Greenway on the third and fourth floors as a result of the step-back, letting in light. Perhaps it would be a modified H-Shape; we are not sure. We leave this to your creativity for the next step. Please call with questions.
Can you work up this Step-Back Option for the Committee to consider?
Step-back design along the Greenway is encouraged in our City planning. The Ackerberg-Village Green and Mathwig projects, also south of the Greenway and endorsed by CIDNA 5 years ago, made an effort with this type of interface. As I recall, those projects are somewhat taller than the C-Shape the you proposed, but the basic idea is the important concept.

New Research Division Publication -
The Western Balkans and the Revenge of History
- English
- Français
- Research Paper 142: "The Western Balkans and the Revenge of History", by Ian Hope.
Dear Sir or Madam,
The latest research paper by the Research Division of the NATO Defense College argues that as NATO begins to seriously debate possible missions for "projecting stability" outside of its traditional Article 5 boundaries, with a special focus on the Middle East-North Africa (MENA) region, it might be wise to first consider doing so where proximity demands immediacy of action with sizeable projection: the Western Balkans.
According to the author, projected stability in the Western Balkans, including the possible deployment of NATO's Very High Readiness Joint Task Force (VJTF) and follow-on forces as an effective de-escalatory and confidence-building mechanism, should be a specific strategic option for NATO, and a part of NATO operational planning.
The author, a career officer in the Canadian National Forces, is currently serving as Senior Researcher in the NDC Research Division. Colonel Hope has had multiple combat deployments, including Kosovo, Afghanistan, and other hot spots. With a PhD in military history, he has the ideal background to assess NATO's responsibilities and future requirements in the Western Balkans.
We hope you enjoy this paper.
Jeffrey A. Larsen, PhD, Director Research Division

Refrigerators of the future could let people know remotely when they are running low on milk as part of the rapid advance of the internet, a university expert said.
Within five years humans could be receiving more texts from machines than humans, according to Dr Kevin Curran.
He said security should be the main priority for connected devices – especially since it is difficult to tell if a fridge has a virus.
"Within the next five years, using mobile devices simply for communication will seem outdated."
The University of Ulster reader in computer science said what he termed the Internet of Things (IoT) will allow consumers to interact with nearly every appliance and device they own.
He added: "Your refrigerator will let you know when you're running low on milk, your dishwasher will inform you when it's ready to be emptied. "It's possible that you will be getting more text messages from your devices than from human beings."
He said some examples had already reached the marketplace, controlling the lights and temperature, closing the garage door while across town, receiving alerts from a smoke detector.
He warned: "However, like any new technology or idea, there are kinks that need to be worked out.
"If IoT is campaigning to run nearly every aspect of people's digital lives, we need to consider factors that will ensure a seamless and safe introduction. Three in particular – security, standards, and overburdened networks – require critical focus before mass IoT adoption."
He noted the ease and convenience of paying bills online and shopping also carried the risk of having personal information compromised.
He said manufacturers needed to monitor their devices constantly for unusual activity on networks.

If you like free stuff, you're gonna want to make your way to Times Square on Wednesday, June 4th. Samsung's hosting a "Ditch Day" event from noon to 6PM, letting you trade in a digital SLR (any DSLR) for a brand-new NX30 mirrorless camera, "while supplies last." Samsung reps were unable to confirm the number of cams on hand, so if you want the best chance of getting $1,000 worth of free loot, you might want to queue up early. Alternatively, if you can't get your hands on a DSLR worth "ditching," you'll still be able to walk away with a coupon for 50 bucks off a Samsung cam, such as the NX Mini or Galaxy Camera 2, both of which will be on hand for you to try out at the event in NYC.
Update: The event will take place at 42-43 Broadway Plaza in Times Square beginning at noon. According to Samsung's official terms and conditions, only 250 cameras will be on hand. Additionally, Samsung's provided more information regarding which DSLRs qualify for the trade-in, which you'll find below.

Posts Tagged 'natural environment'
We Were Designed To Be Physical Beings
Whether it was evolution or intelligent design, we were designed to meet the physical challenges of the natural world. The environment would push us to grow strong and be able to endure harsh conditions.
In the name of progress, we've become removed from the natural conditions that help shape us. The artificial environment we've created that compels us to avoid physical activity and exertion is incompatible with our design. As a result we all are at risk of poor health and unhappiness.
In the same way we created an artificial environment, we've also created treatments to keep us alive and functioning. Heart disease is no longer a definite death sentence. Diabetes is now treated so the afflicted can continue to live even though they must endure are difficult at best.
Most of the population is unaware that modern living conditions have such a disastrous effect on us as individuals and as a society. They may consider their sedentary desk jobs preferable to physically demanding work. They are unaware that they have a need for physical challenges. They may sense that something is missing from their lives but without knowing what that is, they may seek comfort from drugs or alcohol. At best, they may come to depend on the mind-numbing practice of watching TV – who can blame them.
Some find an effective way to simulate the conditions that we humans thrive in. They pursue activities such as weight training, running, biking or do something with a more direct link to the natural environment like mountain climbing, surfing or skiing. Whatever it is, they've figured out that they need physical challenges to be the type of being they were meant to be.
I've lived both the sedentary lifestyle and the physically challenging lifestyle and it became obvious to me that the life of comfort and ease is a cage that we must avoid. Down that road lies stress, unhappiness and an endless yearning for something more out of life.
While some of us have found a way to work around the conditions we live in, it's not easy. Our work places and schools are not designed to allow for physical activity. Yesterday as I went for a walk about the building where I work, I had to cut across lawns, walk on the street and avoid traffic. The designers of the building obviously intended employees to only walk from the car to the cubical. It would have been simple for them to add a path around the building but I imagine it didn't even cross their minds.
We can do better. Individuals can choose to seek out physical challenges, but those that do are the lucky ones who were somehow guided down that path. Most people will not be that fortunate. Society has many labels for people who seek physical fitness : runners, weight lifters, fitness nuts, gym rat, surfer and so on. For myself, I've heard the term fitness nut applied to me. I'm not a "fitness nut", I'm a human being doing what a human being is meant to do.

Dickens, Journalism, and Nationhood
Mapping the World in Household Words
Prices & shipping based on shipping country
Book Description
Dickens, Journalism, and Nationhood examines Charles Dickens' weekly family magazine Household Words in order to develop a detailed picture of how the journal negotiated, asserted and simultaneously deconstructed Englishness as a unified (and sometimes unifying) mode of expression. It offers close readings of a wide range of materials that self-consciously focus on the nature of England as well as the relationship between Britain and the European continent, Ireland, and the British colonies. Starting with the representation and classification of identities that took place within the framework of the Great Exhibition of 1851, it suggests that the journal strives for a model of the world in concentric circles, spiraling outward from the metropolitan center of London. Despite this apparent orderliness, however, each of the national or regional categories constructed by the journal also resists and undermines such a clear-cut representation.

Nicki Minaj Continues To Redefine Taste And Class With The Artwork For Her Latest Single
The normally timid and reserved Nicki Minaj teased the release of her new single "Anaconda" by posting the artwork to Instagram today, and it truly is an example of refined elegance and chaste beauty. In keeping with the snake theme, Nicki wrapped her butter-basted honey baked silicone butt hams in pink rubber bands to mimic a giant anaconda attempting to swallow an over-inflated PogoBall. It's a bit subtle, but understated imagery has always been a defining characteristic of her work. While a less-modest woman might have agreed to take a raunchy picture with her legs open or her pussy-out, Nicki decided to keep it classy by coyly turning her coochie away from the camera, as if to say: "Let's leave a little something to the imagination, shall we?" My goodness, such a tease!
And even though it looks trés gauche next to such a demure lady, it's a good thing she added the parental advisory warning to the lower right-hand corner, otherwise people might mistake it for an advertisement for a finishing school. Of course, Nicki Minja isn't always such a tasteful classy woman; sometimes (read: all the fucking time) she's a shady wig-snatching bitch. Like when she took to Twitter yesterday to take some not-so-subtle swipes at Australian rapper Iggy Azalea.
If Nicki is truly striving for greatness, she should have called a bitch out by name. It's too easy to Twitter hiss in someone's general direction; you've got to challenge yourself! Don't be cutting corners, Nicki – continue to strive for cunty greatness! Go for the froat next time!

How do bacteria reproduce?
Bacteria reproduce with a process called binary fission, which is a kind of asexual reproduction it is the most common reproduction in prokaryotes and in most single called eukaryotes. First the bacteria divides into two daughter cells then binary fission starts and the two daughter cells split apart. Scientists have witnessed bacteria reproducing in warm areas almost instantly
Which organic materials can be broken down by bacteria?
The process in which bacteria breaks down bacteria is called decomposition which is the process of orgainc material being broken down into a much simpler form of matter. This process is for the essential process is for the recycling of the matter the is in the biome. Almost any organic material can be broken down by bacteria

On September 10th, Sleuthsayer Eve Fisher described her story "Presumed Guilty," published in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine. Detective that I am, I deduced that it was the cover story.
- Envy means you want what someone else has, whether it's a fat bank account or the perfect family.
- Jealousy means you're afraid of losing what you've got, so you monitor your pretty young mistress to make sure she doesn't take up with her dashing co-worker.

Department of Justice National Caseload Data shows that 96% of public corruption complaints are not prosecuted in Upstate New York, unlike downstate New York, where the ……prosecution rates were around 30%. Is it any wonder why there are so many lawsuits being filed at the expense of we the taxpayers. This was easily proven in the Stahlman case where "Officer" Ronda Bush stated that she wanted to pursued litigation in the matter all the way until it could not be pursued anymore. In was in that matter she was judged a perjurer by the county judge that got two innocent teenage boy thrown in jail.
On cross the defense attorney questioned her on her pursuit which she admitted it did not cost her anything, it was we the taxpayers who were paying for it, This is the attitude that the corrupt DA's office has towards we the people, we are paying for it with our tax dollars so who cares. Sure they pay to, but with salaries over $100,000 why should they care. They will just get raise at our expense to compensate for their criminal conduct. Look at who is driving around in late model automobiles. They are parasites. Is it any wonder why people are fleeing the state and in doing so creating a bigger tax burden on the ones remaining.
This was very evident at the Stahlman trial, In Cattaraugus Count, New York. In which a native American family was targeted by the corrupt local district attorneys office. They actually flew in one witness all the way from Florida on our tax dollars the county taxpayers. It was evident right from the beginning it was a set up. Even the jury saw through it. This is how the corrupt power of the state works. They throw so much at you and they are using your tax dollars to do it. Hitler would have love modern Police State New York. This criminal conduct by public officers will lead to new lawsuits against the county at your expense. There is already one four million dollar lawsuit and we are aware of others that are in the works. In Cattaraugus County the District Attorneys subordinates perjury. They will file false documents and assist corrupt cops in making more false claims. They actually encourage it.
In one New York Times article a New York Attorney General was quoted as saying;
"You have a total breakdown of the government structures that are supposed to ensure and enforce the rule of law," …He added, "You have a police department out of control, a Town Board that failed to respond to the allegations that were being raised, and then retaliation by the Police Department against the very individuals who were raising the issues that needed to be addressed."
In a recent study carried out by the TRIBLIVE using data provided by the Department of Justice it found that about 3% of complaints filed against corrupt law enforcement is prosecuted in upstate New York. The same six month study also found that about 30% of complaints are prosecuted in downstate New York. In general, for all other crimes allegedly committed in the US, prosecutors rejected only about 23 percent of complaints. The article by the triblive contains a interactive map so you can check out other ares of the county. The statistics are appalling. Is it any wonder why American has 5% of the worlds population yet 20% of the worlds prison population? Higher then that of Russia or China. It is the laughing stock of the world. Why do you think you see the rise of Donald Trump. People are sick and tied of the status quo and they want real change. We're No. 1 – in corruption. No other state has more legislators forced out of office by ethical or criminal issues than New York. As recently as March, 2016, one man who was prosecuted for murder is claiming it was all a set up by the corrupt prosecutor in a rigged trial. Trial rigging is nothing new for Cattaraugus. It occurred to the man who is now suing the county for four million dollars. Polls conducted in New York also mirror this sentiment. New York led the nation with 2,522 public corruption convictions between 1976 and 2010, or an average of 70 a year, according to a 2012 report from the University of Illinois at Chicago.
Americans have a FIFTY-EIGHT TIMES (58X) greater chance of being killed by a cop then they do by a terrorist [1]. Harvard study suggests the number of homicides committed by police in the U.S. is higher than we thought [2].
Alan Dershowitz, notably in a 1994 New York Times article, "Accomplices to Perjury," in which he said: "As I read about the disbelief expressed by some prosecutors… I thought of Claude Rains's classic response, in Casablanca on being told there was gambling in Rick's place: "I'm shocked—shocked." For anyone who has practiced criminal law in the state or Federal courts, the disclosures about rampant police perjury cannot possibly come as a surprise. "Testilying"—as the police call it—has long been an open secret among prosecutors, defense lawyers, and judges."
Irving Younger, a onetime New York City Criminal Court judge, described police testimony in search and seizure cases this way: "When one . . . looks at a series of cases, [ it ] then becomes apparent that policemen are committing perjury at least in some of them, and perhaps in nearly all of them." [3].
In one survey, defense attorneys, prosecutors, and judges estimated that police perjury at Fourth Amendment suppression hearings occurs in twenty to fifty percent of the cases [4]. Jerome Skolnick, a veteran observer of the police, has stated that police perjury of this type is "systematic." [5] Even prosecutors — or at least former prosecutors — use terms like "routine," [6] "commonplace," [7] and "prevalent" [8] to describe the phenomenon. However, lying about events in the interrogation room may be routine as well [9]. Police perjury also occurs in connection with the fabrication of their reports[10],[11].
In one study, in which prosecutors, judges and defense attorneys were the questioned. 52% of the prosecutor "knows or has reason to know" that police fabricate evidence, and 93%, including 89% of the prosecutors, stated that prosecutors had such knowledge of perjury "at least some of the time." [12] Sixty-one percent, including 50% of the state's attorneys know or have reason to know that police fabricate evidence, in case reports 50% of the prosecutors believed the same with respect to warrants [13].
Professor from Georgetown Law addressed what he called the psychology of courtroom lies. Who lies and why. He found during his research that cops lie between 32% and 38% of the time in court, while the general public lies around 15% to 21% of the time. He felt there were many reasons for this, not just a single simple answer. Those reasons ranged from the knowledge that courts rarely if ever hold officers in contempt or punish them criminally for perjury. To some jurisdictions that punished cops for failing to recall details of a case during court.Also he interviewed a psychologist who raised the issue that certain occupations attracted certain types of personalities. Such as fighter pilots and astronauts attract certain types of personalities that hold mental focus well under stress and score much higher than the general public on timed tests that increase in difficulty. Law enforcement was one occupation that attracted personality types with borderline narcissistic personality disorders. People who existed in a boundary between healthy narcissism and narcissism as a full blown disorder. Most of them saw themselves as special, entitled, believing one should have whatever one wants, or achieving a stated goal regardless of the feelings of others or the means to achieve it. And inflating oneself while putting others down.One such quote fits this description very well."It is said that power corrupts, but actually it's more true that power attracts the corruptible. The sane are usually attracted by other things than power." [14].
Jack Booted thugs. Why is is so bad and only getting worse? First its the militarization of the police force and then they only hire a specific intelligence range of individuals who will do as they are told and not question their orders, just like in Hitler's Germany. There are even court case that was decided here right in New York [15],[16]. Court OKs Barring High IQs for Cops;
"A man whose bid to become a police officer was rejected after he scored too high on an intelligence test has lost an appeal in his federal lawsuit against the city.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York upheld a lower court's decision that the city did not discriminate against Robert Jordan because the same standards were applied to everyone who took the test."
