Barclay Toy Figures
Barclay Manufacturing Company, founded in 1924 in West Hoboken, New Jersey, became the largest manufacturer of toy soldiers in the United States in the late 1930s through early 1940s. Many of the figures, made from antimonial lead, were originally sold for a nickel apiece prior to World War II. Barclay experienced a tremendous distribution chain through their close business relationship with Woolworth's.
The "dimestore-size" figures featured in Deke's Collection are some of the most collected pieces produced by Barclay. Pre-war production involved hand-casting of the figures. Production began in 1935 and was ended on April 1, 1942, due to World War II as the company became involved in defense work.
Important differences exist within the Barclay toy soldier line. Earlier figures feature a "short stride," which caused them to look stiff and unrealistic. In 1936, longer stride figures were produced. Sculpts produced by Frank Krupp featured separate tin helmets, which were initially glued and later pinned to the soldiers. However, due to the expenses involved with this, later figures featured an integrated helmet. These are known as "cast helmet" soldiers to collectors.
Barclay numbered their soldiers and issued catalogs. The Italian and Ethiopian figures were produced in 1935 and 1936; figures 728-741 were produced in 1936, followed by figures 743-746 by early 1937. Figures 747-761 followed later that year. The Asian soldiers also seem to have been produced in 1937. Figures 762-773, as well as the four Boy Scouts, were produced in 1938; the remaining civilian figures (610-626) seem to have been introduced in 1939. In addition, the taller soldiers (B10, B20, B76, 774, 775, 776, & 777) are likely to have been introduced with the civilians. "Cast helmet" soldiers began production in 1940; the last pre-War figure was likely B142, "Soldiers in Boat."
In this collection, any "Bxxx" classification is O'Brien's. The original Barclay catalog number and description is provided where possible.

Seminars & Seminar topics for Science, Engineering ,Management & Arts – Understanding the Importance
Seminars & Presentations on various current topics & trends in the your respective field of study have become an integral part of any college curriculum in almost every field, right from, Basic Sciences, Management /Business , Engineering and even Arts these days. In most cases seminar presentation comes out as a syllabus requirement towards fulfilling of your degree / PG certificate requirement. But however finding a proper seminar topic suiting your requirement & one that fits in your shoes is an amazingly challenging task for most of the students. This is mostly because they might be doing it for the first time. We have identified this difficulty faced by most of the students and are now offering FREE SEMINAR PRESENTATION TRAINING. For more details see: http://edufive.com/seminar-presentation-training.html
There are innumerable advantages in spending sometime to find a good seminar topic to fulfill ones academic / Curriculum /syllabus requirements. Some of them are:
- It's an opportunity to show your dedication to learn new techniques in your field. See it like as an chance and enjoy rather than a looking at it as a stumbling block.
- Increased Exposure and insight into latest & current technologies makes you more confident during interviews when compared other students who copy-paste or repeat senior's seminars.
- Its helps you in identifying your areas of interest and subsequently facilitate in deciding and researching for final year project.
- Improves and updates you knowledge about upcoming trends, research areas.
- If done well it serves as a medium to secure good marks and improve your percentage/average.
- It indirectly help to improve your re-search skills and use of internet for research and studies.
Unfortunately most of the students do not find a good topic to start with and end up repeating the seminars which were already delivered by seniors. This adds no value to their professional or personal profile. Finally, neither they get the real benefit from seminars nor understand its need in academic curriculum. But now Edufive.com has come up with an idea of being the single source that could help students finding these topics. Few student do a good research but due lack of presentation knowledge, they could not deliver to their potentials.(We now offer free Seminar presentation training. Visit our Website for more details) .
Edufive.com is an initiative of a group of engineering graduates with an intention of helping the Engineering students to find a suitable Seminar topic and allied information. You will find new Seminar Topics in Mechanical, Electronics, Electrical, Computer Science /IT, Civil Engineering, chemical Engineering, Automobile, Architectural, Aviation, Aerospace, Earthquake Engineering etc.. We have a dedicated team consisting of people from Engineering Research and Industry striving hard to provide latest topics, new seminar suggestions and current trends. The idea is to support every topic with a short description and references for further study and research. With this We believe that students can have a look the introduction and if they like it can go and continue reading from the supportive links provided.
For more see: http://edufive.com/seminartopics.html
Apart from topics given in the above link here are some latest add on's from Team Edufive.com !You are always welcome to shoot your queries and suggest now topics if you have some. We are always happy to help!.

Before the Test:
• Prepare yourself emotionally for taking the test. If you are overly anxious, much of your energy and potential will be sapped by the anxiety and you will likely not be able to demonstrate your true ability on the test. It frequently helps to reduce anxiety if you know more about the test in advance, such as what type of test you are taking, what subjects are tested, and the purpose of the test.
• Follow normal routines. Interruption of normal routines may affect your performance. The night before the test you should not stay up later than usual since fatigue may lead to poor test performance. The day of the test you should eat a normal breakfast and lunch. Skipping meals or overeating before taking a test may adversely affect your performance.
At Test Time:
• Concentrate. Do not allow yourself to be distracted by noises or movements around you.
• Read instructions or directions carefully before marking any answer. If you do not understand the directions, raise your hand, and ask for help.
• Follow instructions. Pay close attention to the samples. They are on the test to help you understand what the items on the test will be like and how to mark your answer document properly.
• Read the entire question and all answer choices. You need to read each item and all answer choices before marking your answers.
• Make an educated guess. Making an educated guess means that you are able to eliminate one or more choices. For example, if there are four choices and you do not know which choice is correct, but do know that two choices are incorrect; you have a 50-50 chance of choosing the correct answer. You should also remember that there is no pattern of correct answers. For example, if the last three correct answer choices were "D," the next correct answer may be A, B, C, or D.
• Keep track of the time. Since most statewide tests have a time limit, be aware of the amount of time allocated to each section. Pace yourself so that you will be able to complete the section within the time limit. Use all of the time allocated. Persistence pays off.
• If you are testing online, be sure to use the scroll bars to view all of a reading passage or test question. The whole reading passage or test question might not fit on the display of your workstation.
• When testing online and where necessary, make sure you transfer your answer from the draft area to the final response section of your online test.
• If you are testing with paper testing materials, place your answer correctly on the answer document. While taking tests, you should match the number on the answer document to the item number in the test booklet. This is especially important if you skip questions and go back to them later. You should mark only one answer for each item. If two answers are marked for the same item, the item will be counted as incorrect. If you erase an item, you should be certain that it is erased completely and carefully so that holes are not made in the answer document.
• If you are testing with paper testing materials, keep your test booklet and answer document together. This saves time and lessens the chance of marking answers in the wrong place.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I had an MRI of the brain for my headaches.
I have been suffering with a headache everyday since Thanksgiving week.
The MRI showed NO SIGNS OF CANCER! This is a praise!
The MRI showed some ischemic changes in the frontal lobe and in a vessel.
The oncologist thought it may be a sign of a stroke.
I went to the neurologist yesterday and PRAISE GOD it is common in migrance patients
so these changes are not ischemic (stroke)!!!
I am to keep a diary of my headaches! I have been suffering and only taking my
medication twice a week and he let me know that I could take it up to 5 times if needed!
What a blessing!
He may start me on a daily medication to prevent the headaches if he sees a need when
looking at this months diary.
Please keep me in your prayers! I have been headache free for 4 wonderful days, but
I got a miagrane today! Hopefully it will go away and not come back! I just took my medicine.
Tammy Nichols!

Turko-phobia? Get Over It
The terrorist leader lived just long enough to witness an almost complete repudiation of his more strategic vision for, as he put it, "the establishment of a castle of the Muslims, a new Caliphate" which would enforce his radical interpretation of Islam across the umma.
As it happened, the risings of 2011 across the region, like the unrest in Tehran in 2009 and Lebanon in 2005, traced their roots to a desire for "decadent" values like non-violence, personal liberty, rule of law, economic opportunity and free speech.
To pour salt in the wound, when a leader did finally emerge from the land of the Ottoman sultans, he would not be the fiery advocate of Islamic revolution bin Laden had prayed for, but rather the leader of a secular democracy with a modern economy, close ties with the West, a military treaty with Israel and membership in the very military alliance, NATO, which was battling the remnants of al-Qaida in Afghanistan.
Cue the Seal Team.
As someone who lost friends and family in the towers of Manhattan that day, I can't say that I'm not pleased. But life is for the living, so let's turn to that Anatolian leader, Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and consider the future, not the past.
Not since the downfall of Nasser in the early 1970s has a single figure emerged who would plausibly claim to speak for the Arab world. It is no small irony that the leader in question is a non-Arab.
Polls show that Erdogan, a practiced juggler of the region's many conflicting passions, to be the most admired leader from the Atlantic coast of Morocco to the border of Iran. In the authoritative 2010 Poll of Arab Public Opinion conducted by the University of Maryland and Zogby International, the Turkish leader was cited by 20 percent of Arab respondents when asked "Which world leader do you admire most?" Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Iran's President Ahmadinejad, at 13 and 12 percent respectively, were distant runner-ups, and bin Laden (before his death) languished at 6 percent.
For the leader of Turkey to assume the mantle of leadership in the wider Middle East reversed a century of decline in Turkish influence, dating to the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in 1918. This is no coincidence. In recent years, Ankara charted a much more independent course in foreign policy, led by his foreign minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, whose doctrine of "no problems with Turkey's neighbors" provides the justification for closer ties than Washington would prefer with countries like Syria, Iran and the Palestinian movement Hamas.
The fact that Erdogan's government has proven its independence from Washington has won him great credibility in the Arab world at precisely the moment when such a voice is desperately needed. Realistically, if there is any rival at all for Erdogan's influence it would probably be another non-Arab, Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. This has mitigated his stock's fall in Washington, too, and is accelerating Turkey's march toward the top table of regional economic and security.
Missteps Along the Way
But the Arab Spring has presented new challenges, and Turkey has found it no easier to suddenly turn its back on friendly despots than Washington. With regard to Libya and Syria, in particular, Turkish policy has verged on the bizarre since the Arab Spring started. Turkey's opposition to a "no-fly" zone over Libya, even after the normally quiescent Arab League demanded one, perplexed admirers of Erdogan, particularly those risking their lives to challenge Qaddafy's regime. Turkey also prevaricated horribly on Syria, even as Assad's tanks drove civilian refugees over its border seeking shelter from the violent crackdown there.
"As a result, at a moment of unprecedented regional change, when people power and democracy is sweeping the Middle East, the Turks look timorous, maladroit, and diminished — not at all the regional leader to which Ankara has aspired," says Steven Cook, a fellow on Middle East Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations and author of books on Turkey and Arab dictatorships.
These new realties may be driving Erdogan to mend fences with Israel, where relations have been poisonous since the Gaza flotilla killings. Turkish-Israeli trade has surged ahead, growing at a pace of 40 percent annually in recent years, in spite of the coolness. Yet Erdogan wisely chose against a breach in relations, understanding that Turkey's route to regional superpower status is based on its place as a middle-man who can pick up the pieces of America's shattered regional credibility.
The Turks clearly covet a major role in broker peace in the region – they tried repeatedly to do just that between Assad's Syrian government and Israel over the Golan Heights. Inviting Turkey to co-host talks between the Israelis and Palestinians would, in Arab eyes, show that the U.S. recognizes it is not regarded as a fair mediator of the conflict.
Ally or Peer?
From the U.S. standpoint, this should be viewed as the God send that it is. Sadly, America's policymaking community remains nearly as inert as Israel's when it comes to absorbing the long-term implications of the Arab Spring. But imagine, after a true reconciliation between Ankara and the Israelis, if the U.S. asked Turkey to organize the next round of peace talks and reserved its alleged influence for critical moments.
Indeed, an outright a U.S.-Turkish partnership also would have enormous strategic benefits beyond the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, opening the way for more realistic approach to Iran's nuclear program. The current U.N. sanctions and other unilateral moves aimed at pressuring Tehran have been made more effective recently, but given high oil prices buoying Iran's economy, alone will not be enough to force hard bargaining.
Turkey already tried, in partnership with Brazil in 2009, to broker an agreement with Iran on uranium enrichment. It failed largely because of U.S. opposition. Forging a truly joint Turkish-American approach could break the deadlock.
Virtually alone in the region, Turkey has the industrial capability, skilled native labor force and sophisticated banking sector able to turn Gulf money flows into facts on the ground in the forms of new infrastructure. Its growing economy, its world-class construction and engineering firms, coupled with investment from Saudi Arabia and the Gulf emirates, could remake countries where roads, railways and housing still look much the way they did when the French, Italians and British left a half century ago.
None of this would be simple. Turkey's recent spat with Israel and independence on foreign policy issues has earned it enemies in Washington and in Israel, and reconciliation would raise the opposite suspicions around the region.
Yet down the road, drawing Turkey deeper into the politics of its former empire would be essential to create a lasting security structure – a kind of Middle Eastern NATO – to keep the peace as American power wanes and other interested players, from China to India to the oil-thirsty EU, move to secure the region's vital resources. With Washington's help and the addition of Egypt and possibly the Saudis, the Turks could help create the first truly regional collective security system in the Middle East. American policymakers appear to have given little thought to this possibility at this point, again assuming Washington itself would play the role of "balancer."
History shows that leaving such details to chance invites chaos as a once dominant power begins to focus on other priorities. Unless American taxpayers are expected to sustain forever the current constellation of American military bases and naval flotillas in the region – a carrier strike group both in the Persian Gulf and Mediterranean, a dozen air bases, a nearly permanent "float" of U.S. Marines and amphibious support flotilla, separate bases in Iraq, Afghanistan and at Incirlik in eastern Turkey — some regional system of managing the Middle East's myriad "non-Israeli" conflicts must be established in America's wake.
China, India and others interested in keeping the oil flowing will project their own presence soon enough. Today, Turkey, alone among the region's larger powers, is focused on the wider world rather than internal revolution (Egypt) and regime perpetuation (Saudi Arabia). The shattering of Bin Laden's dark dreams brought no new Sultan to the fore, but the democratic successor to Constantinople's empire can ensure a generation of progress — if only the U.S. and regional powers have to courage to allow it.

24th December 2018
As someone who hasn't visited the Indian Subcontinent at all during my travels, I thought the best place to start and explore this vast and varied continent was at the largest country in the region, India. When choosing where to go, I wanted somewhere I could see and experience first-hand the hustle and bustle of Indian culture that it is famed for.
As a first timer, I thought I would get the most out of a tour of Rajasthan, the land of the Maharajas. So, I booked my place on the Wild Frontiers signature tour Taj, Tigers and Temples and eagerly awaited my Indian experience to begin.
Like any new traveller to this country, I was looking forward to the famous sites including, of course, the Taj Mahal, Amber Fort and the main cities of Jaipur, Delhi and Udaipur. I am a city girl at heart and love the fast-paced nature, so I was prepared and expected to love Connaught Place in Delhi, the main streets of Jaipur and the frenetic Agra.
What I wasn't expecting was that I would actually fall in love with the more rural towns of Rajasthan and find them more appealing than the big named cities. Rajasthan is famed for its colours and culture and although these are seen in the famous cities, they come alive in the towns of Pushkar, Jodhpur, Jojawar and Bhenswara.
As a group, we immersed ourselves in bazaars full of colourful scenes of spices and saris, and even learnt a lot about how to mix and cook the curries and wear the saris in style! I walked through small villages and played with children whilst their families welcomed us to see their homes, ate samosas and drunk lassis with locals taking a break from their busy and hectic day and chatted with farmers trading camels whilst making chappatis.
In the big cities you can do this, but with what I felt was a hint of the Western world always surrounding you. In rural Rajasthan, I feel like I saw the real and true India.
A further aspect that I was surprised to find was India's extensive array of wildlife. I was very lucky on my group tour to spot so much, but when I think of countries that are known for their wildlife opportunities, India wasn't a country that was high on my list, naive as it may sound. I was massively impressed that during my seventeen days I spotted tigers, hyenas and at least twenty variations of unknown birds, including the sarus crane in Ranthambhore.
Upon moving to Pushkar, I was surrounded by the noise and smell of hundreds of camels and horses of varying breeds. Leopards and black panthers were next on the list, roaming around the Eshrana Mountain range near to Bhenswara. The sight of an elephant making its commute along the streets of buzzing Jaipur shocked me and made me think about my mornings on the District Line!
But the biggest and best surprise of it all was how welcoming and inviting everyone was. Being a commuter in London, I am used to averting my gaze down and just moving forward. But on the train from Khamli Ghat to Marwar, the locals embraced us enthusiastically.
With limited Hindi and limited English, it was decided we would communicate in song. We sang a campfire classic and they would offer a traditional Indian song in return. It broke the ice in ways I wouldn't have imagined. If someone had told me I would be singing Old Macdonald on a train to a bunch of Indian ladies before I went, I would have laughed at them. But India and the people of Rajasthan have that effect on you.
They could easily have ignored us tourists and got on with their journey as we so often do in the UK, but they welcomed us to share a laugh and some snacks with them.
Would I go back to India in a heartbeat and I recommend anyone to follow in my footsteps, especially by taking the tour that I was a part of, which was the best introduction I could hope for. It showed me both the classic, traditional and well-known routes of India, but it also taught me to look outside of the box, expect the unexpected and to just go with the flow. And for that reason alone, I loved it.

If you're a Twitter fan, you might wonder what all the tweets bearing the '#oxsconeoff' hashtag are about.
#oxsconeoff is the Twitter tag used to announce the one and only, now world famous, Scone Baking Competition, being held at 2pm on Bank Holiday Monday (May 3rd) at Fallowfields Hotel, Kingston Bagpuize, Oxfordshire!
No doubt you were taught as a child not to eavesdrop … but this is exactly what I did on Twitter a couple of months ago, and look where it got me! There was a 'conversation' going on between Anthony Lloyd (@FallowfieldsUK) and Tracey Jefferies (@TraceyJefferies) on the subject of scones. I happened to see this and tweeted saying 'must make some scones – haven't made them in ages'. And the dye was cast! Anthony Lloyd set us up for a scone-making competition at the Community Day on May 3rd at his Oxfordshire hotel. The competition hotted up when Sarah Steel (@nurserysarah) got involved. Fortunately she is now back from her extended holiday in Cyprus, courtesy of the volcanic ash, but it was a near thing!
Needless to say, all 3 contestants are canvassing votes on Twitter from their supporters. Perhaps next we should take on the politicians and form an #Oxsconeoff Party in time for Thursday's election! Of course my fellow competitors won't stand a chance, and if you check out the pictures you'll see what they're up against. Just don't tell them … OK?
The event, which runs from 11am until 5pm, is an action-packed day out for all the family. Local radio station JackFM will be there to join in the fun. Among the attractions are a host of stalls, guided tours round the Fallowfields Farm, Falconry Displays, and a fun dog show. There is a small entrance fee on the day, with the proceeds going to charity.
The highlight of course will be the scone-making competition, with the audience being roped in for some tasting and voting. No doubt there will be much nobbling of judges going on through out the morning, before we get down to the challenge … with jam and cream at 20 paces.
So what do you do next? Take yourself and the family along to Fallowfields Hotel on Monday and join in the fun. Oh … and don't forget to vote for me (@WORDright)!
And … if you're wondering what all this has to do with marketing a business … I'm a firm believer in raising our profile in the local area, be that with scones or anything else (providing it's legal, moral and decent, of course!).
Emma Towns, Kings Sutton dog breeder and owner of Posh Pooches dog grooming company, is celebrating three successes in a month. Having shown 12 of her Indijazz German Shorthaired Pointers at Crufts and collected 11 awards, her two new websites have attracted a massive 3,000 hits in their first month. In addition, Indijazz It's Showtime, one of Emma's breeding bitches, has given birth to 5 puppies.
The www.german-shorthaired-pointers.com website has undergone a complete 'facelift', and now features information about the Indijazz line of GSPs, news and a gallery page. Emma Towns is the only breeder of German Shorthaired Pointers in the Midlands area, and her dogs are shown at all the major dog shows.
Emma combines dog breeding with her professional dog grooming service. Her years of dog show experience means she understands the importance of retaining the appearance of all breeds of dogs. Emma grooms dogs of all sizes and will also consider grooming problem dogs. Emma Towns' new www.banbury-dog-grooming.co.uk website, which went live on April 1st, is already on the first page of Google and generating enquiries from interested dog owners.
"It has been a breath-taking month," said Emma Towns. "To have collected 11 awards at Crufts and come home to literally thousands of hits on the new websites has meant I've been rushed off my feet. But the icing on the cake was the new litter of puppies of course, and I'm pleased to say they all have new homes to go to in a few weeks' time."

Are you generous with your knowledge and experience, or do you keep it to yourself? Would you be surprised to hear giving free advice could actually help you market your business and increase your sales?
This morning we attended a Sales Training Seminar hosted by Sarah Castle, MD of Think Big Training, at Bloxham Mill near Banbury. Some 40 people took advantage of this free opportunity to learn how to improve their sales skills. Sarah gave freely of her time, knowledge and experience, and asked nothing in return. We were well looked after with coffee and a dazzling array of cakes and pastries, which added to the very positive experience.
Each and every one of the delegates came away informed, motivated, and keen to put Sarah's ideas into practice. And to reinforce the message, we were given 'goody bags', with information packs, branded pens and pads. So how will Think Big Training benefit? Many of the small business owners are probably not in the market for bespoke training programmes themselves, but who will they recommend to others who are?
It's said the average person knows 200 others. On that basis, Sarah Castle delivered a powerful, fun and punchy message to around 8,000 people. That's what I call marketing!
It's something we practice extensively. Over the past year, we've produced a series of audio copywriting seminars which are being downloaded by hundreds of people, completely free of charge. If it helps them deliver a stronger message and improve their writing skills, that's great. Not everyone will succeed, and those are the ones who remember WORD-right when they need help with their copywriting. And there's no doubt the listeners recommend our services to others.

Oxfordshire-based wholesale meat supplier Tadmarton Products (http://www.tadmartonproducts.co.uk), has once more expanded its sales team with the recent appointment of Bristol-based Alex Grosvenor.
Until January this year Alex, who has a meat wholesale background, was one of Tadmarton's suppliers. When Tadmarton's Sales Director Steve Harper learned Alex had been made redundant for the 2nd time in a under a year, he was quick to snap him up.
Alex Grosvenor will be covering the South West of England, in particular North Somerset, Wiltshire and Avon. As the former manager of Bristol's Weddel Swift depot which closed in 2009, Alex is a well-known figure amongst the region's butchers.
Alex has worked in the meat industry since the mid-1990s, having started out as a Saturday boy at the age of 14. He went on to gain hands-on butchery experience, before settling for a career in meat wholesale.
"Alex's appointment is part of Tadmarton's continuing growth, and his experience and local knowledge will be a great advantage," says Tadmarton Sales Director, Steve Harper. "He's got a sound reputation for delivering a highly professional service and that's just what the butchers in Bristol need."
Tadmarton Products is continuing with its growth programme and the company is expecting to announce further expansion to its product range and distribution service in the coming months.

Buying a service online can sometimes be a lottery. And if that company has glowing testimonials, they must be good, mustn't they? The answer to that may well be 'No'!
Not from a verifiable source? Don't trust it!
When you find a company online, check out their client testimonials. If they are from an anonymous source, we recommend you look elsewhere. Any testimonial from the 'Marketing Manger' of 'a major supplier', or from a XYZ 'Consultant' could well be a work of fiction. They might as well come from Miss X of Bangor, and you know what her reputation is like!
Testimonials can only be taken seriously if they are from a verifiable source … that is a real person, from a real live company. And if you have any doubts, give them a call and double check.
Testimonial plagiarism scam!
If this sounds cynical, here's a scam we've recently come across. We were checking our website for plagiarism using Copyscape, a specialised application based on Google's Search Engine. Electronic copy can be very easily stolen and how would you ever know? By running a check, that's how.
And that's just what we did. To our total amazement, it wasn't any of our own copy which had been stolen, it was one of our testimonials! The original is on our website and states our client's name, company, and a link to their site. We've spoken to our client, who assures us he was the original author.
So how did an almost word for word copy turn up on a large London-based branding company's website? Is it any wonder their testimonial came from an anonymous source? Of course not … it couldn't be attributed to a real person, because it wasn't real, it wasn't factual … it was STOLEN!
More stolen testimonials
We dug a little deeper and found at least one other fake testimonial on the company's website and another which is suspect. This is morally indefensible.
Here is a large London branding and website development company with a very high-profile MD who, if personally innocent of plagiarism, is clearly guilty of not keeping his finger on the corporate pulse.
So 'Mr X from London', you can expect a formal letter of complaint. And we will expect an explanation, apology, and removal of any bogus testimonials stolen by your company or your employees. Unless of course you decide to do nothing … in which case we might be forced to 'name and shame'.
You can check out your online copy for plagiarism by visiting www.copyscape.com.

Manufactured In Engineered European Redwood And Carrying 18mm Astragal Bars.
This homeowner was looking for replacement timber windows that would have all the benefits of modern performance sash windows while retaining the elegant neo-Georgian aesthetic of the originals...
When Jane decided she wanted to change the windows of her house, she spent a long time weighing up the options. She had lived in the house, which was built around 30 years ago, for the past 15 years and the windows were the one aspect she had never been totally happy with.
"They were never particularly good and many of them wouldn't even open," she says. "I thought I might try to change the style of the house by having completely different windows and maybe even coloured frames, but eventually i decided to retain the more traditional Georgian style."
Jane considered various options before finally deciding what she was going to do. She then visited the Jack Brunsdon & Son Showroom in Henley so she could see exactly what the windows would be like.
"I had three quotes, but I finally chose Jack Brunsdon & Son mainly because their product was by far the best looking. The original windows had such slim glazing bars and I wanted to replicate that feature. However, no other company that I found could offer such a window."
"The original windows did look beautiful because they were so delicate. The thought of replacing them with something less elegant was quite a concern, however the new windows are really lovely. They are not quite as slim as the originals, but they do look fantastic, particularly in the sitting room, which was the room I was most worried about."
It's not just the look that Jane is pleased with, but also the degree of functionality. "I've noticed the new windows don't rattle at all and I can no longer hear the planes flying overhead. It's great to have a door that locks with just one handle – before there were bolts and keys. I love the solid brass hardware too."
The entire job took only two weeks and the windows, which are hidden spring balanced sashes, look perfectly in keeping with the elegant lines of the neo-Georgian house and Jane found the
process very easy.
"It took two weeks for them to be replaced. The guys were great, very clean and tidy and sensible. In the en-suite bathroom we have a granite sill and they had to grind away a few centimetres. I was worried about damage occurring, but it wasn't a problem and I'm thrilled with the finish. The guys came out looking like snowmen with the amount of grinding they'd had to do, but they cleared up every speck of dust."
The old bathroom windows were glazed with a dated patterned glass. Jane wasn't fond of it and wanted something more stylish.
"The new ones are so much nicer. They totally obscure the view from outside. We even went outside one night to decide if we needed to replace the blind in the bathroom. All we could see through the new glass was the vague outline of a person. I'd definitely recommend Jack Brunsdon. I was extremely pleased with the installation team and indeed all the employees with which I dealt."

It contains information for the Mouser part numbers and the references for building the cables from the 9710 manual.
When soldering the tinned wire ends to the terminal, I use a wooden clothes pin to hold the terminal steady. I flow a tiny bit of solder into the area where the wire end will rest and then position the wire end there and reheat, flowing in a tiny bit more solder. Note if the terminal is slightly angled down during this process, the solder will be less likely to run up to the sprung, contact end of the terminal.

Birmingham – once known as the 'city of a thousand trades', is now developing a reputation for a city with a booming bar and restaurant scene, writes Will Dann.
As I've been very fortunate to work in the heart of the city centre, I strongly recommend a visit to the second city for those who might have been avoiding it.
From renovated Victorian pubs, to cool cocktail bars and live music venues, Brum has a huge amount to offer – regardless of whether you're a craft beer convert, cocktail master, wine connoisseur or gin lover.
After major investment in the city over the last few years, with the rejuvenated New Street Station (hello, Grand Central), The Mail Box, Jewellery Quarter, Colmore Business District and Digbeth areas, the city of a thousand trades has attracted a vast amount of new operators including some major chains, and also independents.
I recently joined a few of my colleagues for an 'educational' tour of some of the newly opened venues across the city – here's a selection of my favourites:
Be At One
Although it's only been open a year, this hidden venue is already very well-established. Not only is it just a few seconds walk from New Street Station, but it's also one of our clients! Serving pretty much every cocktail you could think of, what's more, Be At One offers a mixing masterclass for those who want to learn the art of cocktail making. When visiting Birmingham, you really do need to be at one…
Bourne & Co
One of the more recent bars opened in central Birmingham, this New York inspired cocktail bar has the classic 1920's loungey vibe. Exposed brickwork and a dark wood saloon make for a sexy, intimate setting complete with jazz music.
1000 Trades
Living up to Birmingham's reputation, this venue located in the heart of the Jewellery Quarter offers a range of craft beers and wines. Not only that, but this Grade II-Listed premises is already becoming a well-known name for hosting live music every night.
Ana Rocha Bar & Gallery
For a taste of Spain, this is the place go to. Enjoy delicious cocktail creations and tapas made with Spanish imported products while surrounded by exceptional antiques, fine art paintings and luxury watches.

Recovery is an odd business. I am basically well. Very well. Gloriously, deliciously, delightfully well. And I am revelling in that. Ask me how I am and chances are I will reply with great enthusiasm that I. Am. Well. Because I am. Really.
You just knew that was coming, didn't you? As time marches on I find more things that are not quite as they were. Bits of me where chemo has left its mark.
I seem to have been left with permanent tinnitus. I sleep now (when I sleep) with an audiobook playing to drown out the incessant noise I hear otherwise. It is not all bad. I am working my way through some fabulous tales and having a bedtime story told to me as I drop off is really rather pleasant.
I get very very tired. I believe this may go on for some time. I am fine, fine, fine. And then I am so not. My body seems to revolt with tiredness. I not only stop sleeping, I become far too intimate with the toilet. Not something that happened before.
My skin is very friable. It tears easily. It dries out more readily. It becomes sore at the drop of a hat.
My internal thermostat is on the blink. This may be down to my hormonal treatment, my exemestane, but it is not just hot flushes. Which, frankly, are not that bad. I become cold very quickly. In temperatures that would not normally cause me to feel cold. It is a little bit like permanently having the erratic thermostat associated with a viral infection with none of the poorliness.
I have muscle pain/weakness in my left shoulder & back where my mastectomy and reconstruction surgery took place.
On top of this, there are the muscle cramps and joint aches from the exemestane. I have another four and half years of it so there is little to do but put up with these but they are not much fun.
So there you have the physical stuff. But I think the worst moments are when the ol' cancer demons come to call. Whether it is the whispering voices that say it is returning; the flash backs to the grimmer parts of last year or unexpected glimpses of a different shape as I pass a mirror or see a reflection; all serve to remind me of what has been, what has changed and what could have happened. It leads to a lot of mixed emotions that can be overwhelming.
Spending time away on our boat has been amazing therapy. It has provided me with the opportunity to reflect, the time to grieve, the time to heal and the time to recuperate. But I miss the talking one does when one is surrounded by people, by community, by family. So I am hugely grateful that one of my best friends is coming to stay next week. We have much to celebrate as she has just reached her five years post successful treatment for Non Hodgkins Lymphoma.
In the meantime, this poem has given me much solace. It reminds me very much of my belovéd Psalms, in particular 23
The Peace of Wild Things
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
Wendell Berry

Hot Stuff
Do you like hot sauces? Well, we've got a bottle of "The End" sauce from the Pepper Palace in New Orleans. The End calls for you, taunts you. It lulls you into a false sense of bravado. Your inner voice reasons with you, "it can't be that hot, can it?", "I've had hot stuff before," "How bad can it be?"
Then you make your first and last mistake. You try a drop of The End. The searing pain felt across your tongue brings tears to your eyes. You cry out for water. The panic sets in. How do I make it stop?! Why did I do that I should have listened to the warnings! You swear never again! 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes later… The End still hasn't ended. (The End still isn't here.)
Try it at your own risk!

The ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAMER Openly Discusses an Eclectic Array of Topics Such As His Views on Life, Love, America, the State of Music, the Magic of KISS, and More
LOS ANGELES – September 29, 2014 – Two legends go head-to-head on AXS TV, as celebrated musician, author, entrepreneur and Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame inductee Gene Simmons sits down for an in-depth discussion with award-winning newsman Dan Rather for a special edition of THE BIG INTERVIEW tomorrow night – Tuesday, September 30, at 8pE/5pP.
Rather pulls no punches during the hour-long episode as he takes viewers on a journey into the unprecedented life and career of the outspoken musician and business man, from his life and loves, to his views on the music industry and his passion for America. In an emotional account of his childhood, Simmons reflects on his youth in Israel, surrounded by war and poverty, with no electricity and lacking amenities like toothpaste. Opening up about his mother's time in the concentration camps of Nazi Germany, Simmons reveals the profound impact that she had on his life, and the powerful experience of watching her be sworn in as an American citizen when he was eight-and-a-half years old.
Simmons is in rare form throughout, allowing Rather to get surprisingly personal, and eliciting a side of the superstar that isn't often seen on stage or television. From his father abandoning the family when Simmons was just seven years old, inspiring his decades-long fear of commitment and reluctance to have children; to his high-profile liaisons with Cher and Diana Ross; as well as his marriage to Shannon Tweed, the issues they've overcome, and the decision to open up his life, home, and children to the world on the hit reality show GENE SIMMONS FAMILY JEWELS which airs on AXS TV. No stone is left unturned.
While Simmons may have finally settled down as a family man, his career, both as an entrepreneur and a founding member of KISS, has, arguably, never been hotter. With the band's blockbuster 40th anniversary tour well underway, Simmons delves into the origins of KISS, their refusal to play the pop music game, and their commitment to being completely authentic and original as they smashed through the '70s folk scene and changed the face of the industry forever. For him, the rock is his religion, the stage is his church, and the show is two hours of pure magic fueled by sweat, fire, and fake blood.
It's this same drive, what Simmons describes as "the working man's ethic," that has helped him build a multi-million dollar empire that includes a record company, restaurant chain, race horse operations and an Arena Football team, and earned him a lifetime achievement award from Forbes Magazine in 2012. The best-selling author's newest book, ME, INC., designed to help people unleash their inner rock god in both life and business, is due out later this fall. A promo clip is available at http://bit.ly/1pwUcas.
"Gene Simmons has never been shy about delivering the straight truth as he sees it, and this episode of THE BIG INTERVIEW is no exception," said Michele M. Dix, AXS TV's senior vice president, programming and development. "But what sets this particular segment apart is Dan Rather's unique ability to dive head-first into his subject, setting the rock star bravado aside and cutting to the core of the man underneath the makeup and the carefully cultivated 'Demon' persona."

realize I am not doing as many projects as I had hoped. What I need to do now is figure out why. I enjoy the doing of the project. They do not take long, a couple hours usually.
At the end I have an apron, a nightie, seat cushions, or something else useful.
So why do I just not sit down and get it done? I have no clue. I do know I need a schedule. So beginning Monday I plan to implement one. I want to plan 2 hours of crafting a day.
Yesterday was a nice day, I actually made an apron yesterday. This material I have had for years. I bought it wanting to make a full length apron. I LOVE the fabric's theme and saw myself as Laura in it. Well I may not be Laura, but it did spur me on to getting homemaking things done this morning.
So here is my accomplishment from yesterday:
What do you think? I love the homesteady feel of the pattern.
The length goes to my ankles, just as most of my skirts do.
What have you created lately?
Keep on Sewin' y'all

The most popular cryptocurrencies are different from one another in certain ways that a lot of people find difficult to grasp. This makes investing in a cryptocurrency risky since people cannot properly assess their situation and where the cryptocurrency is heading.
Learning some of the basic factors that go in to a cryptocurrency's success will go a long way in investing in the right one. Here are some of the basic factors that people should look into when they want to invest in cryptocurrency.
Daily trade volume and capitalization
Cryptocurrency, in a figurative way, can be seen as something similar to stocks. The value of a stock depends largely on its capitalization since the stock represents an undivided interest in the corporation's assets. Cryptocurrency's coins work in a similar manner.
Market capitalization represents the total worth of a cryptocurrency's coin. High values for market capitalization indicates that the cryptocurrency's value is high. Either that, or there are simply a lot of coins on the market.
Another important factor is the trade volume. Daily trade volume represents the number of times the cryptocurrency's coin exchanges hands on a regular day. A high exchange rate is a good indicator that the economy tied to the cryptocurrency is healthy. Cryptocurrency investors keep an eye out for this because it is a good sign that the cryptocurrency is stable.
Method of verification
In essence, cryptocurrency mining is basically processing a transaction by calculating a math problem using computer hardware. A cryptocurrency's system sends out blocks of transaction that its network will process. Processing these transactions rewards the owner of the computer coins from the cryptocurrency. This process is called mining.
A major difference among the most popular cryptocurrency is the method of verification. Proof of work is one of the oldest and widespread methods for verification. Computers have to solve complex math problems that require spending a lot of time and energy. This is why some cryptocurrency investors do their business in locations where the cost of electricity is cheap.
Proof-of-stake systems try to remedy the problems seen in the above mentioned method of verification by letting users with a larger share verify most of the transactions. Its advantage is that the processing power required in this system is less compared to proof of work. However, its downside is that there are security risks involved in this method of verification making it a less of a popular choice among users and investors.
Legal status and retailer acceptance
The legal status of cryptocurrency is a very hot topic. In a lot of countries, cryptocurrency is not legal tender. In layman's terms, it is a form of currency that cannot be used to satisfy legal obligations. To illustrate, a creditor is legally compelled to accept payment made in the form of currency that is legal tender. The same is not true with cryptocurrency.
In some countries, for example Thailand, some forms of cryptocurrency is outright illegal and cannot be used for transactions.
It is worthy to note that cryptocurrency is still subject to tax. After all, it is something that has legitimate value in the sense that some businesses accept it as a form of payment for goods or services.
Since it is not legal tender, the number of business entities that accept cryptocurrency is quite limited when compared to regular currency. However, the number of business entities which accept cryptocurrency as payment has been increasing and diversifying throughout the past few years.
One of the biggest advantages of the most popular cryptocurrency is that a lot of retailers accept them as a form of payment.

Over the past few months, I've been researching how to change habits at work. (I captured some of those ideas here, here, and here.)
But before I can change the habits of an entire company, I need to do some experiments and some fieldwork. So I decided to start with a small set of volunteers: me.
Since I've already changed my work habits, I focused on 4 changes I've been wanting to make for years:
- eating less meat
- drinking less alcohol
- yelling less at my 2-year old son, Hudson
- exercising more regularly
Here's what happened and how it applies to work.
2 common themes in the research
Six different books on changing behavior – "Switch", "One Small Step Can Change Your Life: The Kaizen Way", "Power of Habit", "The Progress Principle", "This year I will…", "Nudge" – all emphasize breaking down a desired change into small, achievable goals and making progress towards those goals very visible.
These simple ideas sound obvious, but I've overlooked them. Big, abstract goals – whether it's "eating less meat" or "reducing service costs" – invoke fear in our change-averse brains.
It takes too much energy and attention to translate such goals into action, and so we simply go back to our more comfortable, unthinking habits.
The notebook
Inspired in particular by "Kaizen", I took my 4 goals and turned them into more specific, achievable objectives:
"I won't eat meat for 4 days a week."
"I won't drink alcohol for 5 days a week."
"I won't yell at little Hudson 4 days a week."
"I will exercise 3 days a week."
And I bought a notebook.
Each day, I write down what I eat and drink and, at the end of the day, I give myself a point for doing something towards each one of my goals. I also track progress towards my weekly goal.
If I meet my goals for a month, I'll reward myself with a particular piece of jewelry I've admired to commemorate the change.
The results
What I've found is that specific, achievable goals combined with a simple tracking and rewards system made a big difference for me.
For example, I've wanted to eat less meat ever since reading "Omnivore's Dilemma" years ago, but "becoming a vegetarian" was daunting. Yet I knew I could avoid meat for one day and starting there relieved my apprehension. I also found myself wanting that point each day.
This little process – it's almost a game – simply makes me more aware of my choices. My food choices, for example, went from unthinking ("I'll have a burger.") to conscious ("Hmmm. I'm behind on my goal this week, so I'll be sure to ask for vegetarian options.")
For the 3 goals that required on-the-spot decisions – what to eat, drink, or say – the greater awareness made a big difference and I was able to easily meet or exceed my goals by the second week. As time went by, I started to visit new places, started to get used to different options, and started to develop new habits.
Exercise, though, required something more. Since it involved a specific amount of time, it required planning in addition to a decision. And without that, I fell short of my goal for several weeks and learned I'll need to make adjustments to my system.
Experimenting at work
It's nice that I feel healthier and happier. And little Hudson is certainly pleased with my experiment. But what about work?
The connection is that changing work habits – how we fill our days with meetings, how we run those meetings, how we spend our time processing email – will also require the same elements I've used: simple steps towards a goal that matters, greater awareness, visible progress, and rewards.
The next step is to plan small experiments at work that include all these elements with the hope is that we can create a concerted, comprehensive approach to changing habits at work. If we can do that, we can finally get rid of the practices we all know are wasteful and that sap time, energy, and fulfillment from our jobs.

At DAG, each artist we represent is with us because we feel that they have a special skill or create a specific model or product that is superior to all others in its class. With Mario, it is his vintage reproductions of the Strat styles of the '50s and '60s that we feel have that extra mojo worthy of attention. We also place great value in his ultralight T-style guitars which although not being vintage correct in regard to construction, produce tones that most musicians would spend a lifetime as well as a fortune in money trying to secure. Mario is a master luthier with a set of golden ears and regardless of whether it's his S or T style or his T-Master or Serpentine, you can be assured that you are purchasing a masterfully built, magnificent sounding instrument that plays with the greatest of ease.

Include ME!
Include Me (Barb at 278pikelk) 5 Minutes
My daughter, write My words for those with ears to hear.
Hear My words of encouragement, My loves.
My plans will occur in My timing, and they are very specific, My children. For they have been laid out since before your earth's time began. Children, you must focus on My perfection now, not forgetting that all things will work together for My purposes. So many simply focused on My timing that they are forgetting to allow for Me to take part in their lives. They get excited, and when certain days or dates come and go, they get disappointed and down.
Children, I love it when you watch for My signs and you work to solve My mysteries, for this is shared with you in My word. My word does tell you to be alert and watch, but, My children, do not do these things to the detriment of learning who I am. For if you do not know Me, how can you walk the way I want for you to walk? You must know My heart well before you seek to solve My puzzles, and whether you solve My mysteries or not, they will unfold exactly the way that I intend for them to unfold, and there will be parts of My Grand Plan that you never saw coming.
Seek Me on everything now, My loves. I want to surround your every thought, word, and deed. Do not let the enemy steal you away from time spent with Me with his distractions. Stay focused on Me and give him no credit or thought. The more time you spend focused on his attacks, the more effective they become. Rebuke him in My Name and move on. Do not dwell on his distractions, but dwell on My perfect outcome, My loves. I delight in our time together, My children, for each of us share Our individual connections and relationships. While one of My children may receive through praise and worship, another might receive through quiet time and silent prayer. All of My children are different, and Our relationships come in every flavor.
As your world becomes darker, Our time together becomes more and more imperative. You must recognize that I am by your side. I promise to never leave or forsake you. Know, My children, that I am in control of the outcomes. Receive My peace in these matters. When you walk in the knowledge that My plan is perfect, and My timing is eternally perfect, My peace will overwhelm you. The world around you in its chaos, will have little to no effect on you because you already know that My plan is perfect. You will walk in peace in all that you do.
Press into Me now, My loves, making Me your number one priority, for I am not just God of the monumentus, but I am a God of your smallest problem. Include Me in every detail, every plan, every conversation. Whether you are doing the most simple of chores or setting off on a world wide adventure, bring Me along. Be in My peace and presence through whatever you do. Do not underestimate what I want for you in your life, My loves.
Prepare for doors to be opened now. Prepare for My grace and love to be pouring through you and reaching many. Prepare for many supernatural miracles to follow as I shine My light through you. Where you have felt oppression in the past, now claim My victory. Where doors have remained shut, they will now open freely, for in your dreams fulfilled, I receive My glory. Nothing is too hard for Me. Prepare for a time of blessing, My loves. For now, I will pour Myself out upon you. Receive Me, My children, for when you receive the good gifts I have for you, My glory is spread upon this earth.
Receive all I have to offer. Do not continue to walk under the shadow of the enemy. When he attacks with lack, I will more than provide. When he attacks with discord, I will bring My peace. When he attacks with sickness, I will bring healing. When he attacks with darkness, I will shine My face upon you. Walk in My righteousness, walk in My truth. When you walk with Me, he has no choice but to flee.
I love you, My children. Yeshua Ha'Hashiach

Most of us already have the staple social media apps — Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, etc — so this post is not really about those. This post is for anyone who wants to create great content for sharing on those social media platforms. Gone are the days when you had to bookmark everything interesting on the Internet and figure your way around the million and one features in Adobe Photoshop. If you want to curate, create, and automate your social media posts, but don't know where to start, this post was written just for you!
Below is a handy list of the apps I'll be sharing in this article. Please feel free to jump around:
Discover & Curate:
Discover & Curate
One of my all-time favorite apps is Pocket. Ever come across a really interesting article but you just have no time to read it? Pocket allows you to save those for later! Not only does it have a web version, there are also Android and iOS apps available. This means that you may save an article on your work computer and read it on your iPad on the commute home.
Recently, Pocket launched its Recommended tab, which is a pretty self-evident feature. It's a great way to discover articles that you are likely to find interesting. As they wrote in the blog:
"Recommendations takes the absolute best content being saved across Pocket and tailors it to your own saving and reading habits. The result is a feed that's completely unique and personalized to you, and is filled with the most interesting articles and videos you might have missed otherwise." (emphasis mine)
The browser extension is one of my favorite Pocket tools. I'm one of those people who used to have 40 tabs open at the same time because there's just so much to absorb! With the extension, you can save the article later (no copying and pasting of the URL) and tag it too.
Tagging is probably one of the best Pocket features for content curation. Aside from its usual use for classification, you could also hack it (by adding a specific tag, say, 'blog this') to sieve out the great stuff you want to share on social media. You can favorite and archive stuff you want to keep too.
Pocket also plays well with other apps and it's unspeakably easy to send articles from your browser (mobile or desktop) to the app. You could also set up an IFTTT recipe to send articles to your blog drafts or an Evernote note.
Would you love Pocket? Sure! If you have tons of articles to read and are looking for a Read Later solution that has the tagging game down.
There are just too many blogs to follow and it'd be incredibly time-consuming if I had to manually visit them every single day, so pulling RSS feeds is one of my favorite ways to receive great content. RSS feeds basically pull all the great content from all over the internet and shove the into a place just for you. Feedly is one such magical place. It's a great one-stop check-in for all your RSS feeds, and the interface is strangely soothing. Pulling so much information into one space can be overwhelming, but Feedly's designers clearly know how to make your life easier in more ways than one.
The setup of your account is probably the toughest part and it takes about 7 minutes. (Not super fast, like 5, if you're particular like I am, but not really long, like 10.) After adding your favorite feeds and categorising them into their appropriate categories — I have 'Business', 'Comics', 'Content & Social Media Marketing', 'Education', 'Philosophy' and 'Tech' — all the recent unread articles mysteriously appear under the right topics. It's really easy.
There's also a Save Later function (if you aren't saving them to Pocket) and a Shared Collections feature if you want to curate the articles right there in Feedly and share them with your friends.
One of my favorite Feedly features, that is remarkably easy to miss, is the Recently Read section. This contains a history of the articles you came across but perhaps forgot to save. (That happened to me with a Cyanide & Happiness comic strip and I was bummed for about 5 minutes till I discovered this feature.)
Would you love Feedly? I think so! If you want to organize your RSS feeds, or consolidate them in one easy-to-use space on the internet.
Gone are the days when you need to be Photoshop-savvy to produce social media-worthy graphics. Today, with drag-and-drop tools like Pablo and Canva, anyone can create great, shareable images. Best of all: both of these are free!
If you are looking for an incredibly simple tool to create simple images with text, Pablo by Buffer was created for you. (It's free too!) Images do exceptionally well on social media so it's really helpful to have an image or two ready for your content when you share it. (Read this Buffer blog post for more!)
With Pablo, all you have to do is type or paste the text you want into its editing field and it automatically places it in an image for you.
Customisation options include: a great selection of web fonts, font styles like bold, italics, etc, stock images that seem appropriate for a huge range of contexts, and the option to blur the background image or switch it to monochrome. You also have the option of customizing your image to different social networks with dimension options for Twitter/Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest.
The Pablo experience is even better if you have the Buffer browser extension installed (more on Buffer later). With this, you can simply highlight text from any page you are reading and send it straight to Pablo. Its super super easy to use.
Would you love Pablo? Definitely, if you are looking for a super easy-to-use, no-frills image creator for text-oriented images!
If you're looking for the ability to manage layers (like in Photoshop) but don't want to deal with the complexity of the Photoshop interface, then Canva is probably right up your alley. It's a powerful free tool that was created for people who want to design eye-catching graphics for any purpose — they have pre-set dimensions for any social media platform you can think of as well as any marketing collateral you may need to design, and you also have the option for setting custom dimensions.
There's a wide selection of icons, stock photos, and graphics, and incorporating them is as simple as dragging and dropping them into the canvas. Some of these elements are paid elements, which are clearly marked out. There is the option of uploading your own images if that's what you're up for.
You may also like that Canva saves your previous projects and collections for easy reference and you can copy these projects if you want to quickly replicate the settings from those. This is great for creating content marketing campaigns that are consistent with your brand.
Speaking of consistent brand imaging, Canva also has a wonderful resource, called Design School, where you can find blog posts, tutorials, and teaching materials to help anyone learn how to craft impactful visuals! Their instagram account is also a wonderful and quick way to pick up these tips. I love how they bring such value to the community.
With a plethora of design options and guidance on how to craft visuals, the possibilities are endless when it comes to creating great graphics of social media!
Would you love Canva? If you're looking for a powerful, free graphic design tool, then yes!
Automate posts
Now that you've curated all the great content for sharing and created eye-catching graphics to go with your posts, the final step in the process is sharing all this content! You probably don't want to inundate your audience with a barrage of posts and neither is it a great state of affairs if you were tethered to your computer all day manually publishing posts at their optimal posting times on social media. You may be on the market for a social media scheduling tool.
After trying out a couple of options, Buffer is my absolute favorite tool for this purpose. It integrates with Twitter, Facebook (Pages, Profiles, Groups), Google+ Pages, LinkedIn (Profiles, Page), and Pinterest, and the great people at Buffer are always working to meet all our social media posting needs so there may be more platforms available in future!
On the Individual plan, you can link 1 profile for each social account, and there's always the option of upgrading to the Awesome plan for up to 10 profiles. The Awesome Plan also has the option to add RSS Feeds so you can Buffer them quickly! (Find out more here.)
With user's convenience and experience at the top of their mind always, Buffer also plays very well with several popular apps. One of my favorites is the integration with Followerwonk, which analyzes the usage patterns of your followers and/or the people you are following in order to recommend the best times for you to post. With one click, your Followerwonk recommendations can be used to update your Buffer Twitter schedule to optimize your posting times to encourage engagement! Buffer also has its own Optimal Scheduling function, if that's what you're up for. The Power Scheduler tool also lets you repost the same content multiple times (based on a schedule) so that your message will definitely reach your audience. With these features, you know your post will reach your followers when they're most likely to see it!
With the Analytics function in Buffer, it's also really easy to identify your best performing posts, which you can then 're-buffer' (send it back to your Buffer queue) with the simple click of a button. This is a wonderful way to maintain engagement with your popular content over time.
The browser extensions also make it easy to send great content straight to your profiles and you can share the same content to multiple profiles simultaneously. In case you forget to select more than one profile, a simple drag-and-drop to copy the post is also possible within your Dashboard! These functions are great if you have multiple networks in your social media strategy.
With the browser extension, you can easily pull images from the page you want to schedule into the post you're crafting. All you need to do is hover over the image and a 'Share Image' option pops up. It now also possible to schedule video posts, which are even better at promoting engagement than images!
If I may be honest, though, it's really the user interface that made me fall in love with the Buffer product. It's truly an experience. Every step, from crafting posts, to reordering them, is incredibly intuitive and learning how to use Buffer takes a matter of minutes. There's a huge community of users and fans on Twitter and Slack, which is testament to how wonderful the product is.
Would you love Buffer? Absolutely. This is a versatile product that works well for social media beginners as well as experts. Moreover, Buffer (the company) has the user in mind all the time, so you know the product will just keep getting better. Beside the amazing features mentioned (that's not all of it, by the way!), the Happiness Heroes and Community Champions also do a fantastic job of supporting users through any queries or challenges. Win, win, win!
I'd love to hear your thoughts about what works for you! There are so many amazing apps out there and if you'd love another post on the other apps I have in mind, please drop me a tweet at @stephe_lee!

I'm just about finished with William Gibson's The Peripheral. I'm at the penultimate scene, the one just before the climactic blowout. Thematically, this is a perfect place to have stopped, because one of the things the book talks about is life before, and after, the "collapse." Gibson's work is all about the future, about how the future feels between your fingers. The Peripheral is a reminder that the future is only wonderous to the people for whom it is not the present.
The future is the same as now, except done in a new way. The feeling of the future is the newness of how we solve the same old problems. In the future (not just Gibson's, but any future) there are still tables, still chairs, because until we stop having to eat food (and stop needing somewhere to rest our meat-shells while we refuel them) there will always be a need for the food to be upraised in front of us.
In our present, "The Future(™)" is depicted as being, shiny, metallic, clean, with glowing engine-exhaust and bright track-lighting and ergonomic corners.
The reality is that the future will probably contain those things, just as our present contains rockets and stealth bombers and hydrophobic spray for your clothes. But it will not be made of those things. It won't be an everyday life of interplanetary adventure.
It'll be room lighting that can tell from your body language just how bad your migraine is, and adjust the brightness accordingly. It'll be machines that know how strong you like your coffee and can adjust the flavor (excuse me, the boldness) or the cream content or the acidity. It'll be a third-cousin of the Roomba that scurries out from under your bed and collects all the dirty clothes while you're away.
What makes "the future" isn't the technology, necessarily. It's the application. The purpose-built attempt to better handle the stupid, everyday, tiresome stuff about being human. The rest is fantasy with spaceships, but that's okay too.
So, hello out there from the future. In my timeline, it is the tenth of March, five days away from the Ides and all the hopes and fears thereof. If you're reading this back in the normal Everybody Row timeline, it should be about January 28th, or maybe around the first of February - I don't remember exactly - but this is, of course, a respectable weekly newsletter and there's no chance at all that I've completely let this founder by the wayside.
No chance. None.
Here in the future of March 10th, a lot of exciting stuff is happening. Nature magazine has published (and the blogosphere has echoed) about the collapse of tundra permafrost. That link takes you to the scoop itself, but if you just want the upshot, try this. Huge slabs of Arctic permafrost in northwest Canada are slumping and disintegrating, sending large amounts of carbon-rich mud and silt into streams and rivers. A new study that analyzed nearly a half-million square miles in northwest Canada found that this permafrost decay is affecting 52,000 square miles of that vast stretch of earth—an expanse the size of Alabama.
There have been reports of sinkholes where structural permafrost has melted and collapsed the ground by elevations of three hundred feet or more.
That seems bad.
When we talk about the future, about Roombas that clean up our laundry and tables that arrange themselves to our height, we'll also have to talk about adjusting to life in which there are simply fewer humans, too. I think it's possible, perhaps even likely, that the majority of the human species will survive the real catastrophes of climate change. But I do not think it is guaranteed.
One of the things technology allows us to do is replace the need for human labor. Automation technologies of today are rendering millions of human workers redundant to the entire economy. It would be a hateful irony if the very people who profit from their labor and chose to replace them also survived the collapse that kills them. It would close a lot of arguments about whether good people prosper, or whether we live in a 'just world.'
