Los Angeles Galaxy To Face D.C. United

Share All sharing options for: Los Angeles Galaxy To Face D.C. United
Sept. 18, The Home Depot Center, 7:30 p.m. PT; FSC/FSE
United we stand, Divided we fall. The District of Columbia sure looks more divided than united this season, as the first place Los Angeles Galaxy (14-5-5, 47 pts.) welcome the last place D.C. United (5-16-3, 18 pts.) to the Home Depot Center. The matchup has been one of the most storied rivalries in MLS, the two teams met in the first MLS Cup final and a second time in 1999 and twice in the CONCACAF Champions Cup. The Galaxy lead the all time series 16-13-6.
United Designated Player Branko Boskovic made his debut for D.C. on July 15th, with a career that features stops at Paris Saint-Germain and Serbian SuperClub Red Star Belgrade, but the attacking midfielder has yet to tally a goal or an assist. He came off the bench last game and isn't expect to start tonight.
D.C's troubles, as so often is the case, result from injuries. It can be difficult to overcome two or three injuries in the shallow pool of the MLS, but the D.C.'s case they have eight roster players unavailable for tonight's match. Whereas on average the Galaxy give up a goal every 120 mins, D.C. only manages to push one through every 135.
So one of the big questions will be if the Galaxy can find the motivation for this match, or will it be a trap game coming off last weeks big win over Columbus Crew and next week's nearly sold out match against New York Red Bulls. Working for the Galaxy will be the fact that the United have nothing to lose, and as such are unlikely to play plug up ball in the back.
"It's the nervous time in the league," Arena said. "The games mean a lot more, especially for teams that are scrambling for playoff spots, and they're going to drop numbers back. They're getting [defenders] around him, and that requires that Edson play better. We haven't been good enough in the final third of the field to open up some more [scoring] opportunities for Edson. That has to improve."
Edson Buddle still leads the MLS Budweiser Golden Boot standings with 14 goals, two more than Juan Pablo Angel of New York. When Buddle scores the Galaxy are 9-0-1, when he doesn't they are 2-4-3. While Edson was away at the World Cup, the Galaxy went 3-1-1. Landon Donovan tallied 2 assists last week and leads the league with 15.
David Beckham made his debut last week, playing 20 mins of junk time toward the end of the match. Bruce Arena has said he wants to gradually increase his minutes to get him ready for a full 90 come MLS cup time.
"The way we want to go is to increase his minutes obviously," Arena said. "Before the end of the regular season, we want him playing 90 minutes and we're going to have to take it day by day, week by week."
One piece of the puzzle to secure the Galaxy's Cup spot has already come to pass as the Chicago Fire lost tonight. With a Galaxy win and a Kansas City loss tomorrow, the Galaxy are guaranteed to reach the post-season for the second straight year under Bruce Arena, now in his third season with the LA Galaxy.
Gregg Berhalter is still listed as questionable with some unspoken illness, and Edson Buddle is questionable after being pulled for the second half last week with hamstring tightness.
Two Landon Donovan Goals Lead Galaxy Over United
Los Angeles Galaxy Divide DC United, Win 2-1

Sergio Aguero to join pal Messi at Barcelona on two-year deal
By Agencies For Citizen Digital Published on: May 31, 2021 06:36 (EAT)
Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero will join Barcelona on a two-year contract when his contract expires at the end of June.
The Argentine, 32, leaves City after 10 years at the club, during which he became their all-time leading goalscorer with 260 goals in 390 games.
His last appearance came off the bench in Saturday's Champions League final defeat by Chelsea.
Aguero will have a buyout clause of 100m euros (£86m) at Barcelona.
Aguero, who won 15 major trophies during his time in Manchester, will join compatriot and close friend Lionel Messi at the Nou Camp as the Catalan club look to improve on a third-place finish in La Liga.
They finished behind Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, having sold Luis Suarez to the former for just 6m euros (£5.2m) at the start of the season.
Barca were knocked out of the Champions League in the last 16 by Paris St-Germain, but did beat Athletic Bilbao 4-0 to win the Copa del Rey in April.
Messi was their top goalscorer with 38 goals in all competitions, with French duo Antoine Griezmann (20) and Ousmane Dembele (11) the only others to reach double figures.
Aguero leaves the Premier League sitting fourth on the list of all-time goalscorers with 184, and has the best minutes-to-goals ratio in the competition's history.
He is also its highest-scoring overseas player, and in January 2020 overtook Alan Shearer to set the record for the most Premier League hat-tricks with 12.
Chelsea were linked with a move for Aguero, but he has opted to return to a league in which he scored 74 goals in five seasons for Atletico before his £36m move to City in 2011.
City centre-back Eric Garcia and Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum have also been linked with free-transfer moves to Barcelona.

How to Recover Deleted Tweets?
Written by: Alex Popa
December 27, 2022 by Alex Popa
Did you delete some of your tweets, and you want to get them back? To get the ugly out of the way, you should come to terms with the fact that you may not be able to do that.
There are several ways you can try to recover your deleted tweets:
Download an archive of your data from Twitter
Use the Wayback Machine on your Twitter account
Use the cached version of TikTok
Disclaimer – if you deleted the tweet a long time ago, it's impossible to get it back, not with the Wayback Machine and not with a copy of your data from Twitter.
But if you deleted it recently, you might recover it using these methods. Read below for more information!
Download Your Data from Twitter
The first way you can recover your deleted tweets from Twitter is by downloading an archive of your data and activities.
1. Tap on your profile picture
Twitter feed showing the profile picture highlighted in the top-left corner
To download your data from Twitter, you need to open the Twitter settings. And the first step to doing that is selecting your profile picture in the top-left corner of the feed!
2. Select "Settings & Support"
Twitter profile settings showing the "Settings & Support" option highlighted in red
After you tap on your profile picture in the top-left corner, this menu will appear on the side. Look for the "Settings & Support" option and select it.
3. Select "Settings and privacy"
Twitter profile settings showing the "Settings and privacy" option highlighted in red
After selecting the "Settings & Support" option, two new options will appear from the drop-down menu:
Settings and privacy
Select "Settings and privacy" to open the Twitter settings. That's where you'll find the data download options.
4. Go to "Your Account"
Instagram settings where the "Your account" option is selected
Once you open the advanced Twitter settings, you should select "Your account" at the top of the page. This will open the account-related settings, containing an option to download your data.
5. Select "Download and archive of your data"
Twitter "Your account" settings page showing the "Download an archive of your data" option highlighted in red
Did you open the "Your account" settings page? Once you get here, click on the third option – Download your data archive.
After that, you'll get to a page where you must enter your Twitter password for security purposes. Do that, and then you'll be redirected to another page.
Select "Request Archive" to send the request to Twitter. For security purposes, it will take at least 24 hours before Twitter sends you the data archive.
I can't take screenshots of these steps because Twitter doesn't allow this, but it's simple enough. Once you get the data, finding those tweets through the folders is a simple matter.
The data archive will contain your tweets, bio changes, profile information, profile pictures, and any changes you have made throughout time.
Use the Wayback Machine
Another method of finding your deleted tweets is through the Wayback Machine. With it, you'll be able to "look in the past" and find your old deleted tweets.
Or not, depending on when you deleted them and whether the Wayback Machine has recordings of those tweets.
Follow the steps below to find your deleted tweets through the Wayback Machine:
1. Open the Wayback Machine
Google Chrome search results showing the Wayback Machine website are highlighted in red.
First off, you need to open the Wayback Machine website. Navigate to it by searching for "wayback machine" on Google.
Select the first link and proceed with the guide!
2. Paste your Twitter profile link in the box
The Wayback Machine website shows a Twitter profile link pasted in the search box.
After you open the Wayback Machine website, you must copy-paste your Twitter profile link into the search box here.
Then, hit Enter, and the Wayback Machine will look for any records of your Twitter account over time.
3. Search through the records for your deleted tweets
Wayback Machine search results show various records of a Twitter account's activities
Once the Wayback Machine finds records of your Twitter account, you'll see something like this a – calendar. Hover over different days to see what the Wayback Machine has recorded.
You must remember the specific date of when you posted that tweet or, at the very least, a date before you deleted it.
Go to that day and see if the Wayback Machine has taken a screenshot of your Twitter profile. If you're in luck, you'll find it!
But if you're unlucky, then you won't find anything. If you're a regular Twitter user, chances are the Wayback Machine hasn't taken screenshots of your profile.
Proceed to the last solution if this one doesn't work!
Use the Cached Version of Your Twitter Profile
The last solution I have for recovering your deleted tweets is to use the cached version of your Twitter profile.
Google caches search results regularly but have certain delays when updating information on its cached pages.
This means that Google doesn't register your deleted tweets immediately after deleting them. It may take some time.
During that time, you can access the cached version of your Twitter account, which still contains those tweets, and recover them.
To access the cached version of your profile, search for your profile on Google and once you find it, tap on the three-dot icon next to the link.
Google Chrome search results show the three-dot icon next to a website's URL
As you can see in the image above, every link on Google has a three-dot icon next to it. Click on it to open a menu.
Google search results show a setting window about a search result where the "Cached" option is highlighted.
Once this window appears, you'll see more information about that website. In the bottom-right corner, you'll see the "Cached" button.
Click on it to open a cached version of your profile on Twitter if you can find it on Google in the first place. I was not able to find it.
Once you open the cached website, scroll through your feed and try to find that deleted tweet. If you deleted it recently, you might be able to find it.
There are no guaranteed solutions to recovering your deleted tweets. But that's not a guarantee either. Usually, once something is deleted, it's gone, and you can't recover it.
With these solutions, you at least have some chance of recovering them.
Leave a comment below if you have any questions or if you know other ways to recover deleted tweets on Twitter!

«Ма́ленькие карти́нки (в доро́ге)» — очерк Фёдора Достоевского, опубликованный в 1874 году в сборнике «Складчина».

Сборник «Складчина»
Очерк написан в связи с предложением Достоевскому принять участие в создании петербургскими литераторами коллективного благотворительного сборника «Складчина», вырученные средства от которого предназначались для пострадавших от голода в Самарской губернии в 1873 году. Инициативная группа писателей собралась 15 декабря на квартире деятеля Литературного фонда В. П. Гаевского и предложила идею писательской помощи голодающим самарским крестьянам. Состоялось три организационных собрания, в которых многие приняли участие лично, а некоторые впоследствии изъявили своё желание присоединиться к участию в общем деле. Готовность к безвозмездному печатанию сборника вызвались типографии Балашова, Безобразова, Вольфа, Глазунова, Котомина, Майкова, Меркульева, Сущинского, Траншеля и Товарищества Общественной пользы. Готовность участвовать в пожертвовании изъявили Варгунины, сделавшие значительную скидку на бумаги для печати десяти тысяч экземпляров сборника.

Был утверждён оргкомитет, в чьи функции вошло издание и редактирования сборника, получившего название «Складчина». В него вошли Н. А. Некрасов, А. А. Краевский, А. В. Никитенко, В. П. Мещерский (казначей), И. А. Гончаров.

Гончаров занимался отбором и чтением рукописей, перепиской с участниками сборника. Сохранились подробные письма его в оргкомитет «Складчины» с рецензиями на присланные материалы, показывающие значительный редакторский и организаторский вклад Гончарова, отношение к своим издательским, в том числе, и к цензорским обязанностям. Его роль в публикации «Маленьких картинок» первостепенна, поскольку по причине его вмешательства Достоевский отошёл от первоначального плана очерка. 11 января 1874 года в письме А. А. Краевскому, председателю Комитета по изданию «Складчины», Достоевский откликнулся на просьбу редакционного комитета и намеревался передать очерк не ранее 1 февраля. Но в начале февраля он передал Гончарову только первую половину очерка. В связи с публикацией «Маленьких картинок» между Достоевским и Гончаровым завязалась интенсивная переписка, однако февральские письма Достоевского не сохранились, до нас дошли лишь два мартовских письма.

Спор Достоевского и Гончарова
Из этих писем явствует различный эстетический подход и творческие принципы двух писателей. В письме от 11 февраля 1874 года Гончаров так отозвался о первой половине очерка: «Вы, конечно, без моей критики очень хорошо знаете, как своеобразны, умны и верны характеристические заметки о наших путешественниках, служащие интродукцией к Вашим "Маленьким картинкам". Они одни могли бы сами по себе составить капитальное приношение в "Складчину"». Гончаров выделял «тонкий и меткий» характер «приживальщика больших домов». Однако, обращаясь к своей «скучной обязанности цензора», редактор «Складчины» выразил своё сомнение в целесообразности описания персонажа «священника-ухаря», который, по отзыву Гончарова, представлен «так резко и зло, что впадает как будто в шарж, кажется неправдоподобен». Из следующего письма Гончарова Достоевскому явствует, что Достоевский вступился за образ современного священника, мотивируя его тем, что «зарождается такой тип».

В свою очередь, Гончаров оспорил типичность такого образа «…если зарождается, то еще это не тип. Вам лучше меня известно, что тип слагается из долгих и многих повторений или наслоений явлений и лиц — где подобия тех и других учащаются в течение времени и, наконец, устанавливаются, застывают и делаются знакомыми наблюдателю. Творчество (я разумею творчество объективного художника, как Вы, например) может явиться только тогда, по моему мнению, когда жизнь установится, с новою, нарождающеюся жизнию оно не ладит: для неё нужны другого рода таланты, например Щедрина. Вы священника изображали уже не sine ira <без гнева (лат.)>… здесь художник уступил место публицисту»

Гончаров высказал Достоевскому свои цензурные опасения, но предложил ему самостоятельно решать вопрос о том, как публиковать «Маленькие картинки» — «с попом» или без него. В следующем письме от 14 февраля спор двух писателей о типическом в литературе продолжился. Соглашаясь с оппонентом в том, что изображаемый Достоевским священник мог иметь реальный прообраз, Гончаров настаивал на шаржированности данного персонажа: «…его могут принять за шарж потому единственно, что он один зараз носит на себе все рубцы, которые нахлестал нигилизм, с одной стороны (он и курит непомерно, и чертей призывает, и хвалит гражданский брак), он же — с другой стороны — и франт, весь в брелоках, цепочках, опрыскан духами и напоминает французского модного аббата бурбоновских времен». Аргумент Достоевского о том, что образ священника не является шаржем или выдумкой, а лишь фотографией, не убедил Гончарова: «в том именно и заключается причина, что из него не вышло <…> типа».

Пока шла переписка писателей, И. А. Гончаров рекомендовал Комитету «Складчины» первую половину очерка «Маленькие картинки»: «Это ряд маленьких очерков, умных, оригинальных, талантливых. Тут только одна половина. Автор другую половину обещает прислать через два или три дня, в субботу». Спустя две недели Гончаров отправил в Комитет сборника вторую половину очерка. В нём отсутствовал фрагмент о священнике (этот фрагмент частично сохранился до настоящего времени как отрывок белового автографа) — видимо, писателям удалось договориться о сокращении текста. В сохранившемся фрагменте (меньше половины текста о священнике) присутствует образ учителя (вызвавший похвалы Гончарова), своеобразно осуждающий постоянно чертыхающегося священника-нигилиста: («…если не можешь без чёрта, зачем шёл в священники?») В то же время учитель защищал право священника курить «из протеста», несмотря на то, что курение лиц, облечённых духовным саном не приветствовалось, поддерживал священника в одобрении им гражданского брака («что касается до этого, он был совершенно прав, потому что говорил истину <…> и это даже его первая и святая обязанность в его положении»).

В марте Достоевский ещё дважды письменно обращался к Гончарову по поводу очерка «Маленькие картинки»: в письме от 7 марта он попросил прислать ему корректуру сборника, а в 20 числах марта заметил Гончарову, что его имя было пропущено в газетном объявлении о выходе «Складчины». Сам сборник был напечатан в конце марта 1874 года. В него вошли произведения 48 писателей самых разных направлений, объединённых идеей «на нейтральной почве <…> соединить общие свои усилия в одном бескорыстном желании помочь нуждающимся». Среди авторов сборника значились имена М. Е. Салтыкова-Щедрина, И. С. Тургенева, А. К. Толстого, Н. А. Некрасова, А. А. Потехина, А. Н. Островского, А. Н. Плещеева, П. И. Вейнберга, П. Д. Боборыкина, А. Н. Апухтина, И. Ф. Горбунова и многих других.

Сборник «Складчина» и очерк «Маленькие картинки» в критике
По свидетельству комментаторов Достоевского, сборник «Складчина» получил положительные отзывы в печати. Газета «Голос» в анонимном фельетоне «Литература и жизнь» расценивала его появление как «крупное литературное событие». Похвал газеты удостоились многие произведения сборника, в том числе и очерк Достоевского: Г-н Достоевский дал "Маленькие картинки (в дороге)", так сказать, интимную беседу талантливого автора с читателем о путешествиях по железной дороге и на пароходах, а также и о пассажирах. В этих беседах есть очень остроумные замечания и меткая наблюдательность <…>, за малыми исключениями сборник составлен хорошо, и читатели найдут в нём разнообразное чтение. Вообще связь литературы с жизнью, обнаружившаяся "Складчиной" и вызванная голодом в Самарской губернии, доказала, как мне кажется, осязательно, что наши литературные силы еще велики и состояние современной литературы могло бы быть блестящим..

Другая петербургская либеральная газета «Санкт-Петербургские ведомости» также откликнулась анонимной статьёй «Новые книги». По её мнению, идея сборника: «наглядно свидетельствует о том, что при всей розни, существующей в среде различных деятелей различных литературных партий, между ними обнаруживается солидарность в одном пункте — в сочувствии нуждам народа». Остановившись подробно на анализе очерка Достоевского, рецензент отметил:
Очерк г-на Достоевского "Маленькие картинки" может служить блистательным примером того, как крупный талант даже из самого избитого и обыкновенного сюжета способен сделать интересную и яркую вещь. В "Маленьких картинках" автор набрасывает эскизы дорожных впечатлений, сцен, разговоров, изображает физиономии публики, встречающейся на железной дороге, на пароходе. Что, кажется, может быть старее и невиннее такого сюжета: он заезжан всеми фельетонистами чуть ли не всех стран, веков и народов. А между тем какой интересный очерк вышел у г-на Достоевского, какие характерные "картинки" сумел он нарисовать, какие типические образы российских дорожных спутников набросал он, как рельефно и ярко, несколькими, по-видимому, небрежно нарисованными фигурами, несколькими небрежно брошенными штрихами выразил он специальную российскую фальшь и мелкоту субъектов так называемого "хорошего общества", на которых наталкиваешься в дороге. Право, так вот и кажется, что именно с такими спутниками не раз случалось вам путешествовать, именно такого рода "картинки" вы видели, какие изображены у г-на Достоевского».

Внимание рецензента привлёк разговор «милорда» и генерала: «Не правда ли, эта мастерская "картинка" нарисована с истинно диккенсовским юмором и так и бьёт в глаза своей живостью; кажется невольно, когда-то, где-то видел и этого "хозяина области", и милорда, и человечка "со второй ступеньки", когда-то слышал их беседу. И в таком роде яркими, типическими картинками полон весь очерк г-на Достоевского». Консервативная газета «Русский мир» поместила две пространные статьи о сборнике «Складчина». Автор статей «Очерки русской литературы» В. Г. Авсеенко, скрывшийся за литерами А. О., писал: «успех "Складчины" вполне заслужен ею помимо даже благотворительной цели, просто в качестве литературного издания <…> в "Складчине" красуются имена г-д Тургенева, Гончарова, Майкова, г-жи Кохановской; уже одних этих имён совершенно достаточно, чтобы самым законным образом возбудить интерес публики».

Первая статья Василия Авсеенко посвящена поэзии «Складчины», а вторая — прозаическим произведениям. Критик выделил произведение самого редактора «Складчины», И. А. Гончарова — «Из воспоминаний и рассказов о морском плавании», а также «Живые мощи» И. С. Тургенева. Напротив, очерк Достоевского подвергся нелицеприятной критике рецензента: "Маленькие картинки" Достоевского вышли бы, быть может, недурны, если бы автор отнёсся к ним проще. На беду г-н Достоевский почему-то счёл нужным облить их какой-то желчною кислотою, которая производит тем более неприятное впечатление, что настоящего сарказма, здорового юмора в "картинках" нет вовсе, а есть только судорожное раздражение, неизвестно во имя чего на себя напущенное. Это раздражение заставляет автора подчас говорить совершенные небылицы, например, уверять, что, где бы ни сошлись русские образованные люди, первая мысль у них является: а не вышло бы как-нибудь у них драки! <…> Мы этого совсем не знали, да и теперь остаёмся при убеждении, что есть такие образованные люди, которым и на ум не приходит предположение о драке. Иное дело, если г-н Достоевский разумеет тех образованных русских людей, которыми он наполняет свои романы; те действительно на каждом шагу сыплют друг другу пощёчины, говорят вместо "здравствуйте" и "до свидания" — "подлец" и "мерзавец", врываются в частные квартиры пьяными бандами, кусают губернаторов за уши, хватают в клубе друга друга за нос и т. под. Но ведь нельзя же свои фантазии переносить на всё образованное русское общество и уверять печатно, что в России люди не собираются без мысли о драке.

Рецензента газеты «Новости» Нового критика (под этим псевдонимом скрывался писатель И. А. Кущевский) в целом не впечатлила идея сборника «Складчина». По его мнению, «никаких партий в "Складчине" не сходилось, <…> желание помочь народу вовсе никого не примирило, как того многие ожидали». В его словах сквозила обида писателя-демократа на литературную иерархию: «литературные генералы и штаб-офицеры уделили лепту из своих произведений по пословице: на тебе, Боже, что нам негоже». Его симпатии удостоился лишь рассказ Тургенева «Живые мощи» и поэзия Некрасова, тогда как «Маленькие картинки» просто упомянуты при перечислении других произведений рецензируемого сборника.

It sounds crazy…making money while you sleep, while you travel, while you work. But it's not crazy at all. It's called passive income, and it is generating part time and full time revenue for people all over the world.
I finally was able to monetize my blog earlier this year and it has been amazing for me!
The internet has changed the way we earn money. Making it easier for people to generate an income without working a full time job away from home.
Passive income, is income that you make without having to actively work for it. This is particularly amazing for stay at home moms like me who want to bring in a little bit of extra cash.
There are many ways to generate passive income, and I'm going to go over the ways people are doing it in 2018. I can't guarantee there will be results, but I can say that it is working for tons of people all over the world.
If you want to learn how to start your own profitable blog, check out this post!
1. Write an e book and sell it on multiple sales channels.
We all have our area of expertise, and we have people that could benefit from the things that we know. So, why not share your knowledge and generate a little bit of cash as well? Writing an e book is a great way to get some passive income.
You can write one from scratch, or if you already have a blog, you can repurpose some of your old blog content and put it together in a book. People will pay for the convenience of having all of that information in one place, and bonus points if you include a printable checklist or something they can use to implement the things they learn.
2. Sell worksheets. If you are a teacher, or homeschooling parent who knows how to create worksheets for students-you can make money! You can sell them on Teachers Pay Teachers, which is a site where you can purchase all kinds of teaching materials. I personally purchase lots of worksheets from that site, and I know that it is an incredible resource for educators all over.
3. Create an e course. Like an e book, you can make an e-course, and make tons of cash. I often see e courses explaining how to start a blog, or how to start making money with your blog. A lot of these courses are set at $400-500. It does require a lot of work initially, creating all the modules and such, but once it is complete, you can just sit back and watch the money roll in. This has generated hundreds of thousands of dollars for bloggers so I know it could work for you.
4. Sell Stock Photography. There is a huge need for stock photography in the online world these days. With so many bloggers and writers needing high quality images, this is a great way to make some extra income! If you are good with a camera and can produce great content then I suggest you give it a shot!
5. Join Affiliate Programs. If you are active on social media or have an engaging following, you should definitely join affiliate programs. There is a program for just about everybody. Shopstyle is for fashion, Amazon has affiliates, Target, and apple just to name a few. You will earn money based on clicks and/or purchases depending on the program.
One thing that has become increasingly popular in the last year or so is the need for Instagram presets. With the obsession for a perfectly curated and coordinated Instagram feed on the rise, having a preset product is a great idea. People with planned, cohesive Instagram feeds usually gain more followers and grow faster than those that are not. Presets can be an awesome source of passive income and a great addition to your passive income streams. If you aren't sure how to create them but would like to take a stab at it, there are lots of instructional videos on youtube that can have you creating presets like a pro in no time!
Another thing that has really blown up lately is Instagram stories. They used to be simple, but now with options to add polls, music, gifs, countdowns, and more, people are finding awesome ways to make their Instagram stories stand out. Instead of taking pictures and posting them, people are using editing apps like canva to edit and add text. If you are good at creating templates, you could start creating some Instagram story templates for people to download and use for Canva. Canva is a pretty hot app at the moment and is definitely worth taking advantage of.
Just like Instagram story templates, you can also do the same for Canva. Pinterest can be a gold mine for blog and website traffic if you create beautiful pins that encourage clicks. If you are one of the people who have the pin creating process down to a science, you should try creating pin templates. If you already make custom templates for your pins, just sell those! One of the keys to pinterest success is creating multiple pins for the same blog post or article, this takes a lot of effort and creativity to come up with different pins all the time. For some people, it's just easier to purchase templates. And that's where you come in!
Now remember, Passive income isn't entirely passive. You will always have to do work marketing your product, promoting affiliate products, and maybe updating posts here and there, but it is definitely a great way to make some extra cash and for some, it turns into full time income. I would love to hear from you guys about your experience with passive income.
There is just so much out there on the internet it's incredible to see how much money you can make!
Have you tried it or have a friend who is killing it at making money from home? Let me know! I would love to hear those methods as well.

Ozzy Osbourne Wasn't Welcome in San Antonio for Years After Pissing on Alamo
Ozzy Osbourne is an iconic rock star, a singer and songwriter who is one of the original members of the rock band Black Sabbath. In the '70s, Osbourne went through a very public spiral due to drugs and alcohol, and although he was able to recover and establish a strong solo career, Osbourne's problems with substance abuse have been well-documented in the years since.
These days, Osbourne continues to perform for his millions of devoted fans around the world — and although he has toned down his act significantly, many of his diehard fans still remember his outrageous antics, including the notorious incident in San Antonio that led to his arrest.
How did Ozzy Osbourne become famous?
Ozzy Osbourne was born in England in 1948. Raised in a working-class family, according to Biography.com, Osbourne had dreams of musical stardom when he was a young boy.
Inspired by the Beatles, Osbourne longed for a creative outlet. He left school when he was 15 years old and worked a variety of manual labor jobs, including as a construction worker, a plumber, and an apprentice toolmaker.
Still, Osbourne never lost his dreams of a brighter future, and in the late '60s, he joined the band that would become known as Black Sabbath. Known for their hard-partying ways and penchant for dark, heavy stage shows, Black Sabbath rose to fame almost immediately — with Osbourne at the forefront of the group as the lead vocalist.
All throughout the '70s, Black Sabbath toured and played shows, earning critical acclaim even as they caused controversy. Most of that controversy was traced back to Osbourne, who by that time was reliant on drugs and alcohol.
Being famous for outrageous behavior
In 1979, Ozzy Osbourne was fired from Black Sabbath. The band had finally had enough of his outrageous antics, but even though Ozzy Osbourne was eventually able to clean up his act and embark on a red-hot solo career, his behavior didn't cease. As a solo performer, Osbourne became bigger than ever, and his rock-star ways continued to make headlines.
In 1982, Osbourne married Sharon Arden, who was his manager at the time. The two went on to welcome three children, and have become the most enduring couple in popular music — in spite of the odds.
Osbourne has suffered some serious health issues in recent years, including going public with a Parkinson's disease diagnosis. Osbourne has admitted that he believes many of his health problems are related to his many years of drug and alcohol abuse — and on at least one occasion, his substance abuse caught up with him.
Why was Ozzy Osbourne arrested in San Antonio?
In 1982, when Ozzy Osbourne was at the peak of his solo career success, he was preparing to play a highly-publicized show in San Antonio, Texas. However, his visit to the city was sidelined when he decided to leave his hotel room, wearing Sharon Osbourne's dress, and made a stop by the 60-foot-high cenotaph on the opposite side of the street from the famed Alamo fort.
The cenotaph was erected in honor of those who had died defending the Alamo, but rather than pay his respects to the victims, Osbourne reportedly urinated on the monument according to Loud Wire. Although he was drunk at the time, authorities did not find it funny, and the musician was arrested promptly.
Osbourne didn't spend long in jail — he was sprung that same afternoon on a $40 bond and played his scheduled show that evening. In spite of that, Osbourne was banned from visiting San Antonio for 10 years. In 1992, Osbourne made a public apology to the city. San Antonio officials forgave the wayward singer, and he has since returned to the historic city on several occasions.

Not So Fast to Online Professional Journal Ads for PERM
Everyone who wallows in the world of PERM is abuzz about a recent BALCA case that overruled DOL's rejection of an employer's use of an online "national journal" advertisement. (Matter of University of Texas at Brownsville, 2010-PER-0087 (BALCA, July 20, 2011)). I say be careful—watch, wait, and run print ads until further notice.
PERM is that arcane process in which employers conduct stylized recruitment to show the Department of Labor that no minimally qualified worker is available for a job so that a qualified foreign national can be sponsored for permanent residence based on that job. DOL is ruthless in denying PERM applications years after the recruitment took place on the basis of arcane technicalities that only lawyers could keep up with, sending the employer and foreign worker back to square one to get a new place in the years-long queue for employment-based green cards. Employers can appeal denials to the Board of Alien Labor Certification Appeals (BALCA) within DOL.
On any one case, three judges of BALCA decide an appeal, but there are many more than three judges on BALCA, and they don't seem to see things all the same way anymore than federal district judges or federal appeals judges do. The planets seemed to align auspiciously in a recent case in which a university sponsoring a professor had placed an ad in a journal called "Inside Higher Ed." This journal, like many others these days, apparently only runs job advertisements on the web, not in any print version. After all, what job hunters want weeks-old information about opportunities? But DOL is stuck in the mud and has always insisted that a print ad is required to play the PERM game.
The university had advertised for candidates and found the alien most qualified (which is enough only for university teacher cases, based on a longstanding regulation). When the university responded to a DOL audit of its recruitment process, it apparently forgot to mention that it had also run the ad in the old stable, the Chronicle of Higher Education (which, for whatever reasons including perhaps that it knows what DOL requires and therefore what employers hiring foreign nationals want, still includes job ads in its print version). The university only showed DOL about the online ad from Inside Higher Ed. DOL denied the PERM for lack of a print ad in a professional journal.
The employer filed an appeal. It did not use magic words including "reopen" or "reconsider" but only said "appeal," so that DOL refused to consider any new evidence (i.e., the CHE print ad) before sending the case on to BALCA. The BALCA panel of judges (read: Dr. Jeckyl) had to agree that the record was set, so the CHE print ad was out, so it was forced to decide the question we have all been asking: what is wrong with an online ad? The panel ruled that "the king has no clothes" (my words, not BALCA's)—that is, nothing is wrong with an online ad, and by the way the DOL regulation does not require print ads in professional journals, and by the way DOL cannot make up rules by posting stuff in FAQs on its web site (consider the irony: maybe DOL needs to distribute its FAQs to all employers in print!). University wins.
It is tempting to think that the wicked witch of print ad requirements is dead, but not so fast. A "Mr. Hyde" may rule on the next case in the hopper about online vs. print ads, and in the next case DOL might put up more of a fight than this time (where it seems not to have defended its position with any rationale). We will keep urging employers to use print ads until DOL throws in the towel for all to see. Meanwhile, I can imagine that someone in the DOL Solicitor's Office is working on a regulation requiring professional advertisements to be in print. Who knows why, they won't say.

How Retailers Use Big Data to Gobble Up Sales
(AVANGARD-Photography/Shutterstock)
Billions of dollars will be spent this weekend as the Thanksgiving holiday gives way to Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and the beginning of the end-of-the-year shopping extravaganza. For retailers eager to get "back in the black," big data analytics provides a great opportunity juice profits by successfully converting on ample sales opportunities.
Black Friday has become an American shopping tradition, and the day that, ostensibly, retailers replace the red ink (losses) in their books with the black variety that indicates profit. Of course, the American consumer spends untold billions at stores every weekend of the year, but the days after Thanksgiving are unique due to the heavy transaction volume, the official start of holiday shopping, and the deep discounts retailers offer on big-ticket items.
The volume of sales this weekend is expected to be massive. According to the National Retail Federation, 137.4 million Americans are expected to shop online or in stores over the four-day holiday, up from 135.8 million last year. Consumer confidence is high, thanks to a 5.2% increase in the median income of American workers (per the Census Bureau) and all-time highs reached on stock market indices.
The noble American consumer will do his part to bravely battle the effects of tryptophan poisoning and line up in the wee hours of the morning to nab amazing Black Friday deals on TVs, tablets and matching Christmas sweaters for the whole family. But after this initial sales buzz wears off, it's up to the retailer to reel in the sales, and that's where big data analytics will separate the winners from the losers.
All this adds up to a huge sales opportunity for retailers and e-tailers alike. Merchants have worked for months to prepare for this weekend, including ramping up inventory and staffing levels, fortifying e-commerce sites, and updating merchandising and marketing systems.

On the data front, there's a lot of work to do too, and numerous opportunities to goose sales with intelligent application of analytics. There are a number of common analytic systems that retailers have built with big data, such as recommendation systems, Customer 360 systems, path-to-purchase, and market basket analysis–and this weekend will see those systems put to the test.
But there are also big challenges. According to Jeff Evernham, director of consulting for North America at Sinequa, just getting the data in place to sufficiently take advantage of the Black Friday opportunity is easier said than done.
"There is huge potential that many retailers struggle to take advantage of," Evernham says, specifically around transaction and customer behavior data. "Often this goes unrealized because the disparate systems and diversity of data make it difficult to bring shopping and purchasing information together–to say nothing of incorporating unstructured data (such as that from social media sites) to gauge how shoppers are feeling and responding."
Retailers that can unify their data and apply analytics to it "will have a definite advantage" in terms of "pricing, messaging, and campaigns for the remainder of the holiday shopping season," Evernham says.
Buying Patterns
Shoppers aren't the only ones who will have a busy weekend. Your friendly neighborhood data scientists will also be hard at work, says Mike Upchurch, Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Fuzzy Logix.

"As the busiest days of retail–online and in-store–approach, retailers are doing their best to predict what will fly off the shelves and what might not," Upchurch says. "This requires an analysis of historical sales data paired with real-time information about the sales of thousands of separate stock keeping units (SKUs) across thousands of stores. The data is large and very dynamic."
In the past, retailers would be able to keep only thin slices of historical data, and match that up on a per SKU basis against variables like shopper demographics, store locations, or weather patterns. But thanks to the power of today's parallel processing systems, data scientists are able to slice and dice the data at a much finer level, which results in better and more accurate predictions on shopper behavior.
That analysis will directly transmit to Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers that retailers make. "Buying patterns of shoppers will affect the content you see online and how it's priced," Upchurch says. "Careful shoppers can play the game and get good deals, but for many, the work by data scientists could hand retailers a win by driving impulse buys and using low margin items as bait to drive high margin additional purchases."
Omni-Channel or Bust
Every major retailer today has an omni-channel program in place to essentially include store shelves as part of the online supply chain. As Black Friday bleeds into Cyber Monday and the hot items fly off the shelves, retailers will count on machine learning algorithms running on platforms like Hadoop to identify the omni-channel opportunity and optimize the placement of goods across the extended supply chain.

To see how omni-channel can boost the bottom line, one need look no further than big box behemoth Best Buy. According to a recent Wall Street Journal article, Best Buy's e-commerce system would list any product as out of stock if they weren't in one of the company's warehouses, even if they were on the shelf of a store.
However, since implementing omni-channel in 2012, the stores now "do double duty as e-commerce warehouses," according to CEO Hubert Joly, and half of the company's online orders now are shipped from a store or picked up there. The retailers margins have rebounded, and as a result, the company is actually competitive with Amazon.
To be sure, there are many more uses of big data in the retail industry. But as the annual American shopping spree commences, it's clear that retailers have a lot to be thankful for when it comes to data and analytics.
