I want to thank Roki for tagging me for this tag post. I am sorry it took me a while to get to this project. When in comes to mediums like anime and video games, I like characters who can put up a good fight. Roki did his post and featured characters that can fight well and stand out from the crowd. In a way similar to him, I am going to pick 2 anime characters and 2 video game characters for this post. Originally, I was going to do 4 anime character and 4 game characters, but that would mean I would be breaking the rules.
The rules:
- Number of entries is up to the blogger
- Tag as many other bloggers you like
1. Son Gohan (Dragon Ball)
I choose Gohan to be on this list. Gohan made his appearance in Dragon Ball and in the anime Dragon Ball Z. As much as I love Dragon Ball, Gohan is tied in regards to my favorite character. I like Goku, but Gohan would have to be number one. Started off as a crybaby in the series, Goku's former foe and now friend, Piccolo took Gohan after Goku sacrificed himself to kill his Saiyan brother Raditz. Piccolo gave Gohan a grueling year of training. As time passed, Gohan warmed up to Piccolo and saw the green warrior as a teacher/father. As time passed, Gohan would later be trained by his father Goku, his friend Krillin and then even Elder Kai. While he may not be a full fledged Saiyan, Gohan went through many rigor training to be at the level with his dad and his mentor Piccolo. With the training of Goku and Piccolo, Gohan is one of few warriors to defend Earth and his family.
2. Yoruichi Shihōn (Bleach)
First making an appearance as a male black cat, Yoruichi is a cunning ninja woman who can save Ichigo and his friends in a flash. Don't let her appearance fool you or otherwise you'll end up seeing her revealing her female naked body like Ichigo did. She's not only a fighter, she is also a princess in her clan and one of the four noble family in the Soul Society. While she not may not have a sword like the series, she is expert in speed and fast melee combat. With her Shunko unleashed, she is faster than the speed of light. With the help of her friend Kisuke Urahara, she can use tools and weapons on her enemies and make her hands and feet as weapons. I just had to add her because she is my all time favorite girl in Bleach.
3. Sub-Zero (Mortal Kombat)
Jumping into the game world, I am including this icy ninja, Sub-Zero. From the gory game Mortal Kombat, Sub-Zero is a fearsome ninja who can use ice as his weapon and even kill people in a painful experience. As part of the Lin Kuei, he has faced many powerful opponents in the realms. He is sometimes seen constantly fighting with the orange ninja Scorpion from the Shirai Ryu clan. When not fighting with each other, these two put a truce and become a powerful team against the greater evil.
4. Chun-Li (Street Fighter)
Last but not least, I'm including the thunder thigh beauty. Chun-Li is from Street Fighter. With her martial arts and sense of justice, she'll fight crime in the streets and even underground terrorist groups. She never skips leg day and if she traps you in her flurry of kicks, you're going to have a swollen face. She's a tough woman, but she has beautiful face. Don't be on her bad side or else you'll suffer more than a knock out.
That's my top 4 characters. Here are some I want to tag if you want to participate. Anyone who is not tagged, can still join in.

My farewell dinner
I am a bit sleepy now, but I come to leave a message that I have a very good time tonight having dinner and hangout with some reporters of the Star publication, where I have spent my two-month internship. It's not a big party actually; we just went out to have dinner together and chitchatted.
There were six people tonight- 4 reporters, my friend from Cambodia, and I. I like them so much, and I think I am closer to them than the others at the workplace here, maybe because I followed them on assignments more often:)
Last but not least, I'd like to say thanks you to them for coming up with an idea of having a joint dinner before my friend and I go back to my country. I would say that it's a nice farewell that I haven't expected. I will see at least 3 of them again soon because they will spend their holiday this year in Cambodia.
Good night and thanks you again Justin, Christina, Karr wei, and Sharmila.01/10/2011 By: Dara Saoyuth

I have no clue what we should do about this. Who uses xulrunner? Is FHR that important for it? I also don't know if xulrunner has all the dependencies necessary to run FHR. If it doesn't just work when enabled in the build system, then this might be non-trivial. In the grand scheme of things, I don't think this is too important at the moment.

It's also not completely about FHR. IIRC, since the FHR landing, Telemetry depends on healthreport.

(In reply to Mike Hommey [:glandium] from comment #2) > Fedora and Debian build Firefox as a xulrunner application. This is important. But, I'm not sure the market share warrants us prioritizing this over perf improvements that affect the overwhelming majority of our users. But I'm not a PM. (In reply to Mike Hommey [:glandium] from comment #3) > It's also not completely about FHR. IIRC, since the FHR landing, Telemetry > depends on healthreport. Telemetry does not depend on FHR. The notification bar and the XPCOM service that drives is independent of FHR and Telemetry. Those are enabled if one of {crash reports, Telemetry, FHR} is enabled. See MOZ_DATA_REPORTING.

I was mislead by my check script. The problem i was seeing is that telemetry now enables data reporting, and the data reporting module imports healthreport modules. Reading the code, it handles the lack of healthreport properly, but my check script is not that smart. That being said, i wouldn't completely oppose to FHR not being enabled on Firefox-on-xulrunner builds, but the browser/ part enables MOZ_SERVICES_HEALTHREPORT, and /that/ adds code to the browser parts that probably don't have their gre counterparts when MOZ_SERVICES_HEALTHREPORT is not set in xulrunner. Now, I understand that we're not necessarily interested in receiving data from such builds, but i would certainly understand users wanting access to the collected data locally. That is, that about:healthreport and about:telemetry work and display data, whether the data is being sent to a mozilla server or not. As a user, I do want this, and I find it sad that i can't see anything significant in about:healthreport without pinging a mozilla server and it's not even clear the frame displays a page from a distant server.
Comment 6•

If /browser/confvars.sh is not the proper place to enable MOZ_SERVICES_HEALTHREPORT for dekstop but not xulrunner, where should we? You are correct that it is advantageous for FHR to be enabled and collecting even if it is not submitting because about:healthreport could be useful. Because xulrunner is being used to power some Firefox deployments, I think it makes sense to enable FHR there. If downstream builders need to make modifications to whether it submits data or where it submits data, we have prefs for that. Again, this bug is a low priority for me unless someone tells me otherwise.

Comment on attachment 760469 [details] [diff] [review] Fix for build with libxul v1 Review of attachment 760469 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- This is correct from a technical sense. But, I'm not sure if all the other pieces will be present in xulrunner, notably the data policy notification bar and about:healthreport. I also don't know if all the tests will pass because I've never attempted to run them in xulrunner. If there is no notification bar, FHR will just collect a bunch of data but will never upload it. And, if there is no about:healthreport, the user won't be able to see said data. So, I'm reluctantly r+'ing this. We definitely need verification of some kind, however.

Not bound to exploit. Not obsessed with production. No concern for profit extraction. Not driven by expansion. Treatment-free. Liaisez-faire. Non-industrial, anti-commercial beekeeping practices.
Beauty. Synergy. Cooperation. Respect. Reverence.
If you guessed these unconventional methods are far from popular around here, you'd be correct.
I don't even have a bee yard. I do have 5 strong, sustained colonies (aiming for 7) scattered around several acres, which is the best beekeeping decision I've made in about 5 years.
It is the intense crowding of many colonies into one space that is so unnatural that it then commands chemical treatments for bee health. Artificial solutions are never the best solutions. I rarely even feed my bees, I consider that a treatment. On those rare occasions I do, because my observations have led me to suspect they are without reserves, sometimes I've been wrong, and the bees aren't remotely interested in my offerings. They prefer to forage over taking my junk food.
By observing intently over time and looking to mimic nature in every way possible, I've come to realize how hopeless is commercial-style beekeeping for the small holder, just like all our industrial 'solutions' are a never-ending Ferris wheel of problems and solutions, all the way around. Industry comes to drive the entire tradition-turned-enterprise right into the ground.
Well, no thank you! And I haven't had to buy bees for several years now, thanks to my new-old methods, which is certainly another motivator for commercial beekeeper's scorn, considering they often make a good chuck of their profits from returning customers—that is beekeepers who follow commercial methods even for their handful of hives—buying nucs and packages and queens from the 'Big Guys' who sell themselves as the experts on all things bees.
In other words, the beekeeping industry strongly resembles the pharmaceutical industry, and pretty much every other global commercial industry. One model for all endeavors. One noose for all necks.
All but one of my hives is top-bar, another source for mocking by conventional beekeepers of all ages. But it does seem like alternative types are squeezing their way in through the cracks. And plenty of cracks there are. Not just top-bar fans.
I'm not on any of the popular social media sites, but I know there are treatment-free groups, full of curious kindred spirits, some with bee-loving pseudonyms instead of their real names, like poor, paranoid anti-vaxxers. Oh, lovely lurkers, come out of the shadows to stake your claim! You dare to brave the bees' stings, surely some stings of misplaced criticism can't scare you away?!
The bees are just one of many bustling with spring's promises.
In other news, happy chicks are here, with no snakes in sight.
(In the new, ultra-high security coop within coop, 100% snake-proof. Right?)
We are still waiting on the piglets, the rest of the lambs, and the kids, while trying not to let our anticipation get the best of us!

On Sept. 8, 2022, BookLife reviewed Alice, the post-apocalyptic adult hippie fairy tale you've all been reading (or are eager to download and read today). Here's a clip from the review:
"A whimsical, fairytale-like quality … magnetic … a storybook world [with] a flavor not often seen."
And Northwestern University's Jeffrey Burgdorf ran it through his nefarious artificial intelligence (AI) machine and asked it to create a cover image. Below is the actual cover (left) and the AI cover image (right). Take your pick.
Burgdorf's AI, by the way, gave Alice "the first ever 5-star Amazon review done entirely by artificial intelligence," though I have no idea what mysterious feelings beating in that mechanical heart motivated the encomium.

Hey beautiful people! Good day and welcome to February, 2020!

And on Friday, the 7th of February, I will be sharing with you a list of suitable Valentine songs, for those of you in love or in a relationship/situationship, engaged, married or hoping to find someone. I promise, there shall be a little something for everyone.
Expect songs from different genres as well guys *wink*

10 thoughts on "This February on the Blog ||Valentine is Coming!"
We can't wait for all the packages Gelax has for us this February. Please, Gelax, I have always wondered why those Valentine packages have chocolates, cakes, and all for female but not for male? Do they think we males too don't want chocolates and cakes? If you are going to write about Valentine, please indicate my outcry in your post. Thanks.1+
I am excited about the Gelax hook up. Bring it on!1+
The Ranters are preparing their rant already. And I am looking forward to the erotica. I will hold you to it!1+
Ayọ̀bámi Fáṣùsì, I second you on the erotica. It's been a while we last read an erotica from you, Gelax.2+

Nope, I don't think I could live off the grid in my present circumstances. I do depend on the internet for work; not sure how I could accomplish that. I do admire those that do manage to live off the grid.ReplyDelete
I've lived off the grid - it's amazing. Now, that said, as I've grown older I'm a little harder pressed to part with that thermostat and my microwave… hahahaReplyDelete
However, that cabin looks mighty appealing. I wish you success in making that dream come true.

I can do it in small doses, and we usually do for at least a weekend every summer when we head up north camping in Superior National Forest or the Boundary Waters. But I'll be honest, I'm not sure I could do it for an extensive length of time. My husband, however, thinks it's a great idea and watches way too many survival and "Alaskan wilderness" type shows.ReplyDelete
Hi from Nagzilla bloghopping A to Z
If everyone suddenly had no electricity we would be screwed money wise because a lot of our money we only ever see as digits on a computer screen/bank statement.ReplyDelete
When I was at university I lived for a day without electricity - it kept shorting out so while we waited for someone to fix it I went to the shop and came back with a torch, battery operated lights and tins of food I could heat up on the gas hob.
Thankfully someone appeared to fix it just as it was getting dark. Although the guy did seem pretty surprised that a female art history student had worked out that the reason the electricity kept shorting was because water was dripping out of the boiler in to the plug socket
No thanks! I like my electricity.ReplyDelete
I have actually spent a lot of time without electricity... And during summer... It's a pain but I guess if I have enough books I can surviveReplyDelete

Welcome to Joe Knows Mortgages MINUTE, where we answer your mortgage questions.
On this week's Joe Knows Mortgages MINUTE, we answer the question:
What is the difference between a pre-qualification and a pre-approval?
A pre-qualification is a discussion between a mortgage loan originator and a potential borrower regarding income, assets, and credit worthiness of the borrower. If someone is deemed "pre-qualified", it means that it sounds like the borrower meets the guidelines based on that discussion. Just to be clear, these to do no have the highest probability for success.
On the other hand, at Morgan Financial (not necessarily everywhere) a pre-approval takes the pre-qualification a step further; all of the necessary documents are gathered from the borrowers, reviewed and approved by the underwriters, and any questions have been cleared up prior to being pre-approved. The likelihood of success is very high.
To tie it all together, the main difference between a pre-qualification and a pre-approval is a pre-qualification is a guess based on a conversation and a pre-approval (or what we at Morgan financial call an Express Pass) is substantiated by paperwork and reviewed by the decision maker.

Heavenspot is an advertising company that serves the gaming and entertainment industry. All images are designed by myself, but belong to Heavenspot and their clients.
I spent more than a year freelancing for the Heavenspot advertising agency, designing hundreds of social media assets for 20th Century Fox and other clients such as Netflix, Amazon Streaming, CVS Pharmacy, and the US Marine Corps. The assets were used to promote 20th's Century Fox's catalog of hits and classics.
I was assigned 6-10 assets a week from their catalog and I used each assignment to challenge my type and composition skills with the end goal of trying to attract as many likes on Facebook as possible. I collected hundreds of new fonts but I quickly ran out of textures and patterns to add depth to backgrounds. I went outside and photographed walls, roads, trees, and junk (literal garbage) to create my own library of distressed textures. When I look at the finished designs I still see paint splatters or aged concrete drawn from my neighborhood in Taipei.
As an ex-video store employee I relished the opportunity to be working with a film company and grew technically (mastering masks and Adobe Photoshop actions) and professionally from the Heavenspot creative team.

Usually it's not cooked with added vegetables but it is nice to always add a little to add some green colour to the meal.

My best friend was already in London as a part of his work too. Honestly, I couldn't have asked for more. So withContinue reading "What if I fall and develop wings ? -London"

With the development of science and technology, it is now possible to renovate the wheel rim by using alloy wheel hub, which can not only reduce its labor cost, but also save time cost. Let's take a closer look at the need for alloy wheel refurbishment equipment.
Be diligent about rinsing the rims at the beginning of use. Drive daily and wash the rims at least once a week. When the wheel hub surface is difficult to remove stains, to choose to be able to gently and effectively remove stains cleaning agent, reduce the damage to the metal surface. But for the car hub structure is complex, the lack of tools and experience make car hub is accomplished very hard very clean, wheel hub cleaning business for wheel hub surface oxidation, the problem such as yellow, rusting, aging, use good raw materials, operating personnel operating tools, from inside to outside clean wheel, remove rust, oxidation layer and brake powder, limpid let hub luster.
In addition, if you want to keep the hub clean for a long time and get a long-term and stable protection, it is suggested that car owners can do a hub coating for their car. Size will be the hub wheel crystal coating use coating agent car wheel hub, does not contain oil solvent (solvent oil as the main components of the wax) and glass fiber as the main ingredients, to avoid the possibility of the construction products after oxidation, at the same time on the surface of wheel cap form a layer of hard glass fiber protection layer, protect hubcap free of scratches. It has the effect of anti-fouling, anti-scratch and brightening. This high performance plating agent can really achieve a long-term construction to protect the wheel hub from the intrusion of brake powder, so that the car hub clean and beautiful.
When it comes to vehicle maintenance and refurbishment of huai Bei automobile wheel hub, car owners often pay attention to the car paint and engine. Indeed, these two factors have a very important impact on the appearance and driving condition of the car, but there is an equally significant "contribution" that is easy to be ignored by people — the hub.
Hub as an important part of the car parts, in the daily use of the car will inevitably be contaminated with a variety of dirt, in addition to the dust near the ground, mainly from the brake caused by the brake powder. These very small and high temperature iron powder in the brake will adhere to the metal surface of the hub, long-term accumulation of rust, difficult to remove, so that the hub surface gradually lose luster. Want to know the appearance of the car hub to the visual impression is a, it is this detail reflects the owner of the car's taste, but also reveals the owner of his temperament. Therefore, the use of alloy wheel hub refurbishment equipment is very necessary.

The Parliament of the old continent has issued the report called "Blockchain: a forward-looking trade policy"
Early this year, the Congress of the United States of America issued an in-depth report in which it directly supported the development of Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. Recently, the European Parliament has repeated this action in favor of the development of these frontier technologies.
The Parliament of the old continent has issued the report called "Blockchain: a forward-looking trade policy". The analysis of the report focuses on a particular aspect of global trade. It's about the supply-chain sector. The value of this sector has been estimated at 18 billion US Dollars only in the EU. The European report highlights how cumbersome paperwork can be and how there are many obscure aspects of the processes and procedures in the supply chain as it is now. Here lies responsibility for corruption, terrible mistakes and losses at the economic level.
There is a big problem of confidence in the current supply chain. The capacity of the Blockchain technology could bring solutions. For example, it can help reduce errors and reduce costs, thanks to the clarity and transparency in the records that the Blockchain offers. With the records made in the Blockchain's non-manipulable system, much more reliable and safe logistics follow-ups can be carried out, shipments can be traced at all times and costs can be reduced.
This report emphasizes several positive aspects of the Blockchain that it would put key information in the hands of the authorities. This would also help with taxation. Very precise databases would be generated that will serve to make the supply chains more efficient through massive data. It will be possible to avoid the current situation in which criminals can alter the records that are made in situ at each point in the chain. And transparency will be gained through Decentralization. Several indications of the report are important to present in its official text.
"[The EU trade policy] considers that blockchain could enable customs authorities to automatically obtain the required information for a customs declaration, reduce the need for manual verification and paper trails, and provide a precise update on the status and characteristics of goods entering the EU to all relevant parties simultaneously, thus improving track-and-trace capabilities and transparency. "
"The adoption of blockchain technologies throughout the supply chain can increase the efficiency, speed and volume of global trade by limiting the costs associated with international transactions and assisting business to identify new trading partners, and can lead to increased consumer protection and confidence in digital trade "
"[The EU trade policy] criminals can manipulate the legitimate trade to mask their illicit activities, such as TBML, by tampering with the necessary documentation by means of false reporting, such as overvaluation or undervaluation of the good concerned; and other authorities to take necessary actions in a timely, prompt and coordinated manner to expose illicit financial flows ".
"Underlines that blockchain represents a new paradigm of data storage and management that is capable of decentralising forms of human interaction, markets, banking and international trade; emphasizes that the rise of blockchain presents both opportunities and challenges in terms of data protection, transparency and financial crime, as the data is immutable once it has been input and is shared with all participating parties, which also ensures its security and integrity; requests that everything possible be done, including at the national level, to guarantee the non-falsifiable and immutable character of the technology and to ensure that the fundamental right to data protection is not put at risk ".
This report brings new hope also for small and medium enterprises. The ability of the Blockchain to create new businesses or to help with growth and innovation in existing businesses is recognized. An essential point that this report highlights is the benefit that the use of Smart Contracts could bring to the many businesses in the world. Although the report recommends that development and maturation of this technology is required, it positions it as an essential option element in the new business tools.
"Highlights the benefits blockchain could bring to SMEs by allowing peer-to-peer communication, collaboration tools and secure payments, increasing the ease of doing business and reducing the risk of non-payment and legal procedure costs of contract fulfilment through the use of smart contracts; recognises the need to ensure that the development of blockchain in international trade includes SMEs; highlights that, at the moment, smart contracts may not be sufficiently mature to be considered legally enforceable within any sectoral regulation and further assessment of risks is needed".
It is very important to note that the Commission that drafted this report is also concerned about a sensitive issue regarding the protection of the citizens of the European Community. It is the subject of the protection of personal data. The commission has added a paragraph in which it is recommended not to process personal data in the Blockchain yet until the whole subject of correct protection is studied in depth.
"In order to prevent the infringement of the fundamental right to the protection of personal data, blockchain technology should be used for the processing of personal data until the user organization concerned is in a position to guarantee compliance with the GDPR and to specifically ensure that The rights to the rectification and erasure of data are protected. " "In cases where the blockchain contains personal data, the immutable nature of some blockchain technologies is likely to be incompatible with the 'right to erasure' set out in Article 17 of the GDPR."
In general, however, for the Commission, the Blockchain must be seen as a technology that must be developed and that can offer Europe development and leadership worldwide. "Calls for the European Union and its Members States to play leading role in the process of standardization and security of blockchain, and to work with international partners and all relevant stakeholders and industries to develop blockchain standards". "Reminds the Commission that the EU has an opportunity to become a leading actor in the field of blockchain and international trade, and that should be an influential actor in shaping its development globally, together with international partners".

Greenway Updates & CLEAN-UP
Went for a greenways ride this afternoon. All of Shelby Bottoms plus Two Rivers plus Stones River Greenways past Ravenwood up to Lebanon Road are okay (good news). The Lebanon Road crossing including the bridge and its approaches plus the tunnel have gotten their final asphalt paving (good news). However, about 100 yards past Kohl's parking lot a low stretch of the greenway has an inch or more of mud from the last flooding (bad news). There were lots of bike tracks thru the mud but I know from the May flood that this is the first of several muddy stretches all the way to PP Dam. I've heard no calls for cleanup volunteers.
Dave Irvine
We tried to ride the greenway last Wednesday and found the section north of the new Drake's Creek Bridge under water (and hope it didn't get washed out). Sections of the greenway are still torn-up and caked with mud from the May flood. I thought a good community project for the FOGBEES would be to get a few shovels and clean the mud from the trail (would take about an hour). Any volunteers? How about the FOGBEES adopt this greenway?

Update in case anyone maps a ride through the Richland Greenway to get from Charlotte Ave to Belle Meade.
The section that connects the North Part of this greenway to the Dutchman's corner is washed out, so the only way to actually get from Sylvan Park area to Belle Meade w/o streets is to use the McCabe entrance to the greenway.

Opening Day of Wellington Classic Dressage Challenge II Dominated by Prix St. Georges Competition
Saturday, March 7, 2009
Posted by
West Palm Beach – Prix St. Georges competition dominated day one of the Wellington Classic Dressage Challenge II. The FEI Prix St. Georges Open competition had 42 entries causing the class to be divided into two. The FEI Prix St. Georges USEF High Performance class had another seven entries for a total of 49 Prix St. Georges rides on opening day.
"That's probably either a record or close to it," said Noreen O'Sullivan, managing partner of Wellington Classic Dressage. "There seems to be a tremendous commitment among FEI riders to bring along new horses. Because what we are seeing is that it's not just the same horses and riders, but riders bringing along new horses and also there are some new names among the riders."
Winner of one of the FEI Prix St. Georges Open classes was Silva Martin riding Prosecco to a score of 68.421 percent. It was the technical marks that gave Martin the win because tied with her in score was George Williams on Don Bailey. They were given second place. Third place in that class went to Kelley Corrigan and Robinson with a score of 67.632.
Martin has only been riding the 10-year-old gelding owned by Michael and Denise Rotko for the past two months. He was bought in Germany a few years ago. "I am very excited about Prosecco," Martin said. "He did a good test today and I'm very happy with him." At last week's Palm Beach Dressage Derby, Martin and Prosecco finished second in Prix St. Georges competition with a score of 69 percent.
Winner of the other FEI Prix St. Georges Open class was Bianca Berktold with Berktold's Marko. They took the win with a score of 71.053 percent. Second went to Mikala Gundersen and Wild Dance with a score of 70.00 and third was Lynda Alicki riding Donates to a score of 69.737 percent.
Berktold admitted that she was rather surprised by her win. It has been several months since she had Berktold's Marko, a 13-year-old Danish Warmblood gelding, in the show ring. "I didn't expect him to do this well," she said. "I had backed off from showing and have been schooling the Grand Prix, but I decided I should get him back out and around the show atmosphere a little and he was definitely ready to go."
Marko is one of Berktold's sale horses and she said it will be hard to let go when he sells because "he's such a fantastic horse. I'd like to keep him, but this is what I do for a living. I import horses and then sell them. He really does have a wonderful personality. He'll give you 110 percent. He's an easy ride, very forward and has fantastic passage and piaffe." Berktold trains with Steve Kanikkeberg and she said he deserves much credit him for helping her bring her horses along.
The highest Prix St. Georges score of the day went to the winner of the FEI Prix St. Georges USEF High Performance class – Katherine Bateson-Chandler and Dea II. They had a score of 71.579. Bateson-Chandler and the nine-year-old Hanoverian mare won the CDI Prix St. Georges competition last week at the Palm Beach Dressage Derby.
The highest score earned on opening day of the Wellington Classic Dressage Challenge II was earned by Jessica Jo Tate. She rode Rosentanz to a score of 74.333 in First Level Test 1.

Here's my experience so far with Amazon Free Day Book Promo's
1st Amazon Free Day book promo
All In: The Globe Trot Shuffle, published March 2016. Promo was in late March 2016
I ran a free day book promo when I first published All In: The Globe Trot Shuffle. I did this one on the weekend, starting Friday. I gave away less than 200 books. It didn't lead to a spike in sales afterwards or a spike in Kindle Unlimited Pages read. I used a lot of pay sites, and free sites for their email newsletter and twitter blast abilities. I paid around 300 dollars. I may have received reviews on the book from people who downloaded the free books, but all reviews were removed for a vague reason. I also had a bad cover for the book, one of those generic ones you get when you have to make your own cover when you're publishing on KDP.
2nd Amazon Free Book promo
All In: The Globe Trot Shuffle, published March 2016. Promo was on May 18, 2016
I updated the cover for the book before I ran this free day promo. I ran this promo on a Wednesday for one day only. I used nothing but free sites, although I may have paid for one at the most. I can't recall if I did, but it wouldn't have been over 25 dollars. I gave away over 2000 ebooks. It lead to a spike in sales for the next week, and a spike in Kindle Unlimited pages read. I also got 3 reviews that stuck this time on Amazon. This was when I only had one book published
3rd Amazon Free Book promo
Cash Me Out: Life and Death in Paradise, published May 2016. Promo was on June 22, 2016
I did this one for my 2nd book, Cash Me out: Life and Death in Paradise. I used nothing but the free websites that I used before. I ran this promo during the weekend. It was downloaded less than 100 times. A review popped up, but I think it was from someone who got the book when it first came out because the review mentioned book 1's events as well. It didn't lead to a spike in anything, or even a spike in book 1's stats.
4th Amazon Free Book Promo
Cash Me Out: Life and Death in Paradise, published May 2016. Promo was on July 6, 2016
I ran this promo on a Wednesday two weeks after the last promo. It probably didn't help that it was two days after the 4th of July holiday when so many other people gave away books (I set the promo up before I knew others would be giving away free books over the holiday weekend). I used a few pay sites, but paid less than 100 dollars. I used a bunch of free sites as well. Most of the free sites didn't run the promo. Probably because I tried to use them 2 weeks before. It led to 500 books being downloaded. No spike in sales afterwards, but a spike in Kindle Unlimited Pages Read for the book (surprisingly not book 1). It led to a spike in sales for book 1 during the actual promo. Book 1 also rose in the paid store ranks, breaking into the top 100 bestseller categories for a few subcategories. I assume people were adding it to their Kindle Unlimited libraries. I will have to wait a few weeks if it leads to other sales, pages read, and reviews.
I don't know if this will be helpful of not. You may have been more successful doing something else. Free sites work at times, paid sites work at times. Best free day promos for me have been on Wednesdays. People may not have wanted to download book 2 in a series either. I did run the 3rd and 4th promos for the same books with the same sites almost 2 weeks apart. I have to assume that some sites didn't run the promo for the bad 3rd promo. Some sites may have ran the 3rd promo, but may not have run the 4th promo. I made sure that sites ran the promo by paying for them to run it
I'll run another free day promo for book 1 after I publish book 3. I'll see if the promo for book 1 is as successful as the last time when I gave away 2000 ebooks. I'll see if it also leads to spikes in the other 2 books' numbers. After the 30 day period of being a new release, I'll run a promo on book 3 to see what that does.
Here's the sites I used for all of the promo's. I may have used more in the past, but I didn't write them down. I also paid for some sites from the 1st promo, but don't know if I listed them here or not:
Ran the promo
choosybookworm $25 (they did one a promo for free once, 2nd promo if I'm not mistaken)
awesomegang $10
ebookasaurus $10
bookbongo $20
buchfans (a book blog in Germany)
thriftythursday (can only do this on Thursday)
Didn't run the promo
bookgoodies $10 (they said there was an error, so they refunded the 10 dollars)
bookhippo uk
Choosybookworm seemed to work the best. They sent their email out to subscribers around noon EST. That's when I saw a huge jump in downloads for the two best free day promos (2nd and 4th promo's)
For all of the promo's, I tweeted that the books were free with hashtags. That may have led to a dozen books being downloaded for all 4 promos combined.
For the 4th promo, I tweeted to handles that were recommended on websites. The only one that retweeted my tweet to them was @4FreeKindleBook (theindiespotlight). I had my message in a notepad, and just copy/pasted it with each new twitter handle.
Here is a list of sites I tweeted to:
@freebookclub1 @ibdbookoftheday @Booksontheknob @bookbub @kindle_free @freeebooksdaily @zilchebooks @freedailybooks
@digitalinktoday @fkbt @kindlestuff @Bookyrnextread @CheapKindleDly @DigitalBkToday @free @freebookdude @4FreeKindleBook

I even tried to tweet in local languages for the different Amazon stores. I used google translator to promote the free book giveway in Portugese with my book link on Amazon Brazil. Japanese, Hindi, French, Dutch, German, etc with the book's product page on those countries Amazon sites.
Freie englische Sprache Buchförderung JULI 07 #Liebe #Mord #Rache #amazonDE #Spannung #Gewalt #Deutschland
I did see a book or two from some of those countries I tweeted to in their local languages. I also tweeted in English about the book with the product page from the country's Amazon page. Something like,

Philadelphia transportation officials are warning drivers and pedestrians to beware of icy pavements. Philly drivers are familiar with the dangers of "black ice," the invisible skin of ice that forms on roadways when melting snow refreezes. Philadelphia personal injury lawyers warn pedestrians that the same dangerous condition can be present on pavements and in parking lots. Unshoveled blowing snow that hides treacherous patches of ice from view increases the danger of slip and fall accidents in Philadelphia parking lots (see our previous post).
If you are the victim of a Philadelphia slip and fall accident on snow and ice, Pearce Law attorneys recommend doing the following:
1. Report the accident immediately or as soon as possible.
2. Seek medical attention if you are injured. Injuries from slip and fall accidents can be serious. A hard fall can break bones. If the person hits his head on the pavement, curb or parked car, the force of the fall can bruise or injure his brain. If the body twists during a fall, the spinal cord can be injured. In many cases, the severity and consequences of an injury cannot be immediately known. Even if you show no immediate signs of injury after a slip and fall accident, pay attention to your body. If muscle aches or headaches develop, seek medical attention.
3. Record ground conditions both where you fell and in the immediate area. Write down a detailed description of the pavement conditions and the location of any obstacles. Note whether the pavement was partially cleared or uncleared, snowy or icy, and any debris in the area.
4. Gather evidence documenting where the accident occurred, name of the landowner or store owner, names and phone numbers of any witnesses, and photos of the accident site and your injuries.
5. Consult a Philadelphia personal injury attorney with experience handling slip and fall accidents.

Welcome to Writers in Various Stages of Development #008 with Amber Phillips.
When Covid-19 disrupted her passion for stand-up, Amber dug into her archive and created her own sketch comedy podcast. She opens up about daydreaming at work, her love of physical comedy and the benefits of performing on stage.
When did you start writing?
I can't really remember when I started writing. It was always my favourite thing to do at school, and in drama I seemed to gravitate towards saying silly things and pulling faces to make the class laugh. I wasn't what you would call a 'class clown', though – I was definitely quiet and bookish, even a bit shy.
I had a huge stack of notebooks (I've always been a bit of a stationery nut) and I would write down random snippets of dialogue and punchlines to jokes that I hadn't worked out yet. I never showed my work to anyone until I was at university, when I started submitting jokes to publications and radio shows.
Are you a full-time writer or do you balance alongside a day job?
I balance temping and language teaching with writing. A lot of it involves daydreaming at work because I want to write, and then when I do get the time to work on my sketches, I'll find any excuse not to!
Having said that, my self-discipline has improved considerably by having a day job. When you know that you only have one or two days a week to work on your comedy, it does drive you to get more done in the window that you have. And I do enjoy keeping one foot in the real world by having a day job. It makes me get out of the house, and I do encounter some truly ridiculous people who find a way into my comedy.
What was your first credit as a writer and how did you land it?
I gained my first comedy writing credit on Newsjack, the open submissions show on BBC Radio 4 Extra. I'd listened to the show for a couple of years and always thought about submitting material, before bottling out at the last minute.
After much umming and ahhing over whether to submit anything for the upcoming series, I finally sent in two jokes just to see what would happen, and to my surprise one of them ended up being used. I couldn't believe it when I got the email to say that my material had made it onto the show. It was a fantastic feeling when I tuned into the broadcast and heard an actual audience laughing! At my joke! On the BBC! That was when I caught the comedy writing bug good and proper. With that first credit, and that first laugh, I started to believe that people might find my ideas funny after all.
Shows like Newsjack receive hundreds of submissions each week. How can people stand out?
Don't be afraid to look at local stories or items that could be considered 'soft' news. Everybody's going to be doing jokes about Trump or Boris, so if you send in something about an angry swan in Nottingham, you're immediately going to stand out from a lot of the submissions for that week.
And I know that everyone says this, but write what you find funny. Don't try to joke about something you don't understand or don't find interesting, just because it's trending. If you don't have conviction in what you're saying, it will come across to whoever is reading it. Go for that bonkers idea that makes you chuckle – it's your original take that Newsjack is looking for, after all.
During lockdown you launched your own podcast. Can you tell us a bit about it?
The Amber Phillips Comedy Sketchbook is my sketch comedy podcast, all written and recorded myself. I perform my favourite sketches from my comedy files, with readers' letters, observational stand-up and silly one-liners thrown in for good measure.
I really liked the idea of having a variety of sketches in each episode with no overarching theme – just random acts of absurdity (to pinch the Monty Python maxim, "And now for something completely different").
Each episode is 15 to 20 minutes long, ideal for a quick listen, and I deal with topics ranging from angry wasps, the perils of living on the moon and the politics of sharing food. It's fair to say that listeners won't be bored!
It all started as a lockdown project to keep me sane. Before Covid-19 I regularly performed stand-up on the open mic circuit and as gigs came to a standstill, I knew that I had to find another outlet for my creativity. I went through my files and came across several sketches which were funny, but didn't quite fit into either my stand-up or the other shows I was writing for.
I'd always liked the idea of creating my own podcast, and I realised that I had a wealth of material and now the time to do it. And so, the podcast was born! It's been great fun recording the sketches and I've had some lovely feedback, too. I can't wait to get back out on the stand-up circuit, but I'll certainly continue to produce the podcast alongside my live comedy.
What advice do you have for anyone looking to start their own podcast? I've always thought of it but I can't work out where to begin! Microphones confuse me.
If you're planning on starting a podcast, make sure that you're passionate about your chosen topic. It will come across in your voice and listeners will pick up on it, so they'll enjoy your show more! Also, be sure to have a clear structure for each episode whether your podcast is scripted or not, to avoid any awkward silences or idle rambling. Even if it's just a bullet-point list of notes about where you want the conversation to end up, it will help.
Another piece of advice I would give is to try to achieve the best sound quality that you can. As a podcast listener I've been put off certain shows in the past because the conversation was muffled or borderline inaudible, even if the content seemed promising.
You don't have to have access to a professional recording studio for good sound. Sometimes it's just a case of finding the room in your house with the best acoustics, or covering hard surfaces with soft fabrics to reduce the echo. Don't get too hung up on being sound engineer of the year, though. As long as the sound quality is sufficiently decent to hear all of your lovely jokes, listeners will stick with it.
In terms of microphones, you can buy perfectly reasonable USB mics which plug into your laptop or PC for around £30 to £40. There are more expensive ones available depending on your budget and level of tech experience. I do all of my sound editing in Audacity, which is free, open-source software used by a lot of podcasters. There's a wide range of equipment and software out there, so have a look and see what best suits your setup.
What's your process when you sit down to write a sketch?
I tend to do a lot of people-watching when I'm out and about. You can pick up some very peculiar character traits and outrageous lines that way. When I hear something particularly funny, I'll make a note of it on my phone for later, along with an idea for a related sketch. Once I've sat myself down for a writing session, I'll pull out my notes and flick through to see whether any of them leap out at me, then I just start writing and see where it takes me. As you get going, the more ideas seem to materialise, until it runs away with you!
Would you suggest that anyone interested in comedy writing tries stand-up?
Yes, I've definitely found it helpful for my writing.
It's very daunting, especially if you're an introvert like me, but performing in front of an audience is a great editing tool. When the crowd laughs, it reassures you that you're funny, and when they don't, it shows you which parts of the routine need more work. Sometimes it's just a case of tweaking the word order, or changing one word, and it will make a joke ten times better.
It's also been really great to build up my skills on the performance side of things. Your use of space, a perfectly-timed facial expression or your tone of voice can really take your written material to the next level. In that sense, stand-up is a different discipline to writing comedy for other people. But there's definitely a lot of crossover in terms of consistently generating and fine-tuning funny ideas, and that feeds into writing comedy more broadly.
What was your first stand-up set like and how did it go?
I attended an Introduction to Stand-Up class, where we spent the day learning basic technique and writing our own material, with a showcase to our family and friends at the end of the day.
My performance went well and off the back of that, the organiser offered me an open spot at his regular comedy night a couple of weeks later. That was my first gig proper, and I was terrified beforehand – I couldn't stop pacing! Once I was on stage, though, everything fell into place, and I thought "this is quite fun, actually!"
I told a story about a disastrous holiday where I ended up stuck in my hotel room with food poisoning. The only way to pass the time was to watch the one English TV channel available, a sports channel which was showing snooker. And when you're sick and hallucinating quite a bit, snooker becomes very weird indeed…
It was strange getting used to the practicalities of using a mic (I think I got my leg caught in the cable at one point!) but the set went down very well, and it was an amazing feeling to hear the audience laughing. After that, I was hooked.
If you could reboot any TV series or movie from history, what would it be and how would you bring it up-to-date?
This isn't a show that needs rebooting now, but I'd love to write for Doctor Who. If we're talking about shows being brought up to date, it's a great example of how to do a reboot. Russell T Davies and the production team did a stonking job of updating the show for a modern audience. They stripped away a lot of the complicated backstory and introduced the character development and emotional impact that the audiences of 2005 demanded. And they managed to do that while also retaining the core elements of the show that made Doctor Who unique (can you tell that I'm a fan?)
When it relaunched, I was the perfect age to appreciate it – the characters, the sense of adventure and that universe just grabbed me from the off. I'd love the chance to contribute to the show someday. I have many ideas. So many ideas…
What's the worst part of being a writer?
The nagging sense of self-doubt. This is especially true when I'm writing a sketch to record and haven't got an audience's reaction to help me edit my work. You just have to trust your instinct and hope that other people will find it as funny as you!
It can also be tough when you go through fallow periods, where it feels like anything and everything that you pitch is rejected. You just have to keep ploughing on. When your material is accepted and gets a laugh, it's an amazing feeling, and all of those previous rejections are worth it.
What makes you laugh more than anything else?
I spent a bit of time thinking about all the things that have really made me laugh over the years, and realised that what makes me really laugh out loud is physical comedy done well.
Del Boy falling through the bar hatch, Geraldine Granger jumping in the enormous puddle in The Vicar of Dibley, Miranda Hart's dress being ripped off by a taxi. All perfectly timed, all the gestures and facial expressions and angles perfectly calculated with an engineer's precision. When it's done right, you can't beat it.
That and the Four Candles Sketch by The Two Ronnies. The O's and the peas! It's the absolute pinnacle of wordplay.

He's so graceful!
Congrats to you, Judith! I love my two men:) Two wonderful souls
Reposting here…please share. It's that important.
Let's hope that we are all mortified enough from the last 18 months to have this happen. Don't give a shit about the trumpers. They can rot in hell, where they belong. The rest of us, together, can put an end to this hot mess and live in country we can be proud of again.
This situation has brought some interesting alliances. I will always keep Joe Walsh at a long arms' length for his comments during PBO's presidency, but I agree with his recent tweets regarding actions by and around the Trump administration. Montel Williams is cautiously considering Walsh's offer to team up to some of these "never Trump" ends, but at the end of the day, we can't forget that they remain Republicans and/or Tea Partiers for a reason.
Joe is partially woke:)
I'm pretty sure.
AN 11-YEAR-OLD. Great. Meanwhile, Republicans can't approve of more $$ to secure elections. VOTE THEM OUT!
Republicans WON'T approve more money for election security because the hacking is working in their favor right now.
But I agree – they need to be voted out. We need massive Dem overperformance and every seat contested.
Hi DF – this SCOTUS fight is paramount!
Absolutely! We can't stop until they get the message that he should not be considered. We don't need to go back 50 years worth of progress. We can all do our part to StopKavanagh
Truth telling badass!
That would be a METRIC fukton of search warrants:)

They are a threat to our national security. I don't even know what to say anymore. Neuter this moron and vote these enablers out!
This is the plan. They forgot let the rich raid the US Treasury, though
How convenient.
I know this TOD family has some pretty amazing memorabilia 🙂
Because I love my TOD family soooooooooo much:) All you'll need today:)
I posted this link last night. Share.
The entire world knows what Americans need to figure out, SOON! As in, this minute!
Ah! Some light reading.
I guess Omarosa is spilling all the tea, she's telling everything, she's burning every bridge possible.
He'd get my vote
MOB. The end.
Speaker Pelosi and Rep. Maxine Waters were just interviewed on AMJoy by Mr. Capehart;
these were good interviews …. hopefully these will be shared and watched by many.
I liked that both great ladies came out unapologetically strong and fought back hard against the traitor-in-chief ……
these ladies will not be intimidated and are itching for a throw-down;
Why is anyone questioning why Omarosa has a tape of the John Kelly firing? If there was no recording of Congresswoman Wilson General Kelly would have gotten away with his lies about the Congresswoman.
WTF is up with this? Can someone explain this guy to me?
Eff! His brain=collander. I could only stomach about half of this clip.
Heavens, the MSM and punditry class are really complicit in the destruction of the country and world
….. why in the world would the media give so much airtime to scammers, grifters, racists and other scumbags who have been enabling the traitor-in-chief????
… I despise some of these current and former members of Team Treason so much that I can't even type their name or watch/listen to them about ANYTHING
none whatsoever
GA, TODbots.
I didn't watch the MTP Omarosa 🤔👀🤷♀😂🤣 road show. However, I've had 2 large cups of Coffee today😉. Seriously? Wow. There's no security at the White House. My goodness, the Russians were invited to the Oval Office after a direct "request" by Putin. Holy smokes!
The Ineptness, Incompetency…..Holy Smokes.
This warms my heart.
I don't know how Tiger is doing today…..but for those who would like to check it out.
OK, I'm done with the Tiger updates. I don't want to be sucked into this game.
He came about as close as he could this time. I hope he makes it back. I admit that watching him in contention is the only time I'm interested in golf!
Nada won the Toronto Tennis Game today……asked how Tiger is doing…..Tiger is -2 back in Contention….
Please be well. Please.
Oh Dear God hear my prayer. Make the her well.
no words
Good morning everyone. Happy Birthday Chips. I hope you have a fantastic year with Danny-O. We love and miss you here at TOD. I am praying that Aretha Franklin heals from her pain to be with us a little longer. I'm not ready to say good-bye. I have one more week before I go back to work teaching the Constitution in a time where even the Constitution is at risk and am not sure if I am able to do this effectively, sigh. I hope you all have a wonderful day.

IZA DP No. 13404: Changes in Female Employment in Mexico: Demographics, Economics, and Policies
The unemployment and labor force participation gender gaps narrowed in Mexico after the 2008 global economic crisis, when female labor force participation increased. This paper aims to understand female labor force participation growth and identify its main determinants. For that purpose, the paper estimates a probit model with data from the National Employment Survey of 2007 and 2017, when the unemployment rate returned to the pre-crisis level. Broadly, the results show that increasing labor force participation of women ages 36 to 65 sustained the growth of overall female labor force participation, women's educational attainment can offset any individual or household obstacle to women's employability, and childcare availability significantly supports mothers' employability.

Time To Plan For The Worst Rather Than Hope For The Best | Alt-Market
Preparation for disaster, whether natural or man-made, should be as vital as any ideal found in the various practices of religion and spiritualism. Preparedness should be treated with reverence, discipline and duty. The drive for preparation should be seated in the very heart of humanity. As individuals and as a society, we should hold preparedness dear, for it is an expression of the desire for survival and the key to maintaining our inherent freedoms. Without self-sufficiency, we set ourselves up for endless failure and enslavement. Continue reading
Evasion and Survival | ol remus and the woodpile report
"… Cold appraisal of the corruption, deep capture, incompetence and general treachery of our ruling class and their swarms of apparatchiks says it's prudent to take any conceivable civil calamity onto our accounts. Among the costs to us are evasion and survival skills. Be clear about this, no peaceful person of good will living in a sane society needs such expertise. It's a personal disfigurement, the dark side of natural law, a rebuke to civilization itself. Those who see these things as an adventure warrant our deep suspicion. Yet no sooner are we subjected to one outrage than another follows, each betrayal more astonishing than the last.
The realist must acknowledge the one-sided, top-down trashing of the social contract and prepare for ever more calamitous turns of events, and so it is we reluctantly and regretfully consider such tactics here. '

The 71-page spelling workbook offers exercises for 13 new words and 3 review words in each of the 34 weekly lessons except every sixth lesson, which is completely review. (After Grade 2, each book in the Spelling by Sound and Structure series reviews from the previous book.)
The lists of new words are presented in type and cursive writing. Each 2-page lesson has 3 main parts. Part A serves to strengthen the pupil's understanding of the meanings of the new words as they work with synonyms, antonyms, definitions, picture clues, context clues, and categories of words.
In Part B, pupils work with phonetic patterns such as beginning and ending sounds, long and short vowels, consonant blends, digraphs, double consonants, and so forth. Part B also works with word structure as syllables, plurals, verb forms, and suchlike. Pupils work mostly with the words in the week's word list. But they also get practice in using the spelling patterns to spell other words.
Part C teaches beginning dictionary skills, focusing on alphabetical order and in which part of the dictionary to find a word.
The Teacher's Edition is a pupil book with the answers filled in plus a 36-page section of teacher instructions in the front that explains each lesson. Sentences that use each spelling word are provided for the teacher to use in administering the spelling tests.

Antonio Vivaldi – I concerti dell'addio – Europa Galante, Fabio Biondi (2015)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/88.2kHz | Time – 01:19:58 minutes | 1.52 GB | Genre: Classical
Official Digital Download – Source: Qobuz | © Glossa / Naxos of America
Recording: in Badia Cavana (Abbazia di San Basilide), Italy, on 18-20 June 2014
Since the early 1990s, Antonio Vivaldi and Fabio Biondi have become inseparable. In his latest recording for Glossa, the latter offers further proof of the astonishing imaginative powers of Vivaldi as a composer of violin concertos, which are matched by Biondi's own dynamic and cultured virtuosity as violinist (and director). With these 'Farewell' Concertos Biondi turns to works written by a Vivaldi very near the end of his life as he travelled to Vienna in a desperate search for creative opportunities.
Where Biondi's recent 'Il Diario di Chiara' release saw a late Vivaldi surrounded by colleagues and successors at the Pietà in Venice, 'I concerti dell'addio' sees him in a Vienna in mourning for its recently-deceased emperor and more attuned to the now-fashionable galante style than to that of the Red Priest, however brilliant and ebullient Vivaldi's compositional spirit continued to be.
The six concertos on this disc are all drawn from a collection sold in 1741 – very cheaply it seems to the count Vinciguerra Collalto – today kept in Brno, and bear witness to Vivaldi's late style as it headed in the direction of Tartini and Locatelli.
Biondi's selection of concertos provides him full scope to portray the vivid and masterfully-conceived imagery, a compendium of violin techniques and the opportunities for improvisation implicit in Vivaldi's maturity.
