Q: Is it possible to merge only one sub-repository (subtree) from main repository? Assume having a MainRepo that includes subtree repositories: subRepoA, subRepoB, SubRepoC.
If I made changes in all of my repositories but would like to merge and push only changes that were done in subRepoB. Is it possible?
It seems MainRepo behaves like one big repository without possibility to distinguish between its sub-repositories.

A: The answer here is both no and yes.  That is, you can achieve what you are asking for, but:

*

*not with a single simple git merge command (it will require additional commands); and

*it's often a bad idea.  Be careful!  You may regret it later.  However, if you read through all of the below, and think about how merging works, you can do it and can figure out how to update later if necessary.

To do it, though, use:
git merge --no-commit

and then use git checkout or (since Git 2.23) git restore to "undo" some of the merge.  Then finish the merge with git merge --continue or git commit.  See the details below for more information.
Background
To understand how you this all works (and why it's a bad idea), remember this about Git:  Git is about commits.  Git is not about files, and not even about branches.  It's true that commits contain files—that's why we have commits, to hold files—and branch names find commits, which is why we have branch names.  But in the end, Git is all about commits.

*

*Commits are numbered.  These aren't simple counting numbers: we don't start with commit #1, then have #2, #3, and so on.  Instead, each one has a random-looking (but actually not random at all), unique hash ID, which is shown as a big ugly string of letters and digits, often abbreviated since humans will generally just kind of blip over them (is dca3c76df9bb99b0... the same as dca3c76dfb9b99b0...?).

*No part of any commit can be changed, once it is made.  The reason for this is that the hash ID is actually a cryptographic checksum of every bit of the commit.  If you do take one out, make some changes, and put it back, what you get is a new commit with a new and different hash ID.  The old commit, with its unique number, is still there, and anyone who looks up the number gets the old commit.

*Each commit stores two things:

*

*There's a full snapshot of every file that Git knows about.  The files are stored in a special, read-only, Git-only, compressed and de-duplicated format.  (The de-duplication immediately handles the fact that most files in most commits are exactly the same as the versions of those same files in a previous commit.)

*Meanwhile, each commit stores some metadata, i.e., information about the commit itself.  This includes who made it—name and email address—and when, and their log message to explain why they made it.  In this metadata, Git stores something that Git itself needs: the commit number of the commit that comes before the commit we're looking at here.  Git calls this the parent commit.
The fact that each commit stores the number—the hash ID—of its parent means that, if we can just find the last commit in a string of commits, Git can use that to work backwards.  That is, suppose we use single uppercase letters to stand in for the actual hash IDs, and draw the following:
 ... <-F <-G <-H

Using hash ID H, Git can retrieve the actual commit—including the snapshot—that you made, whenever you made it.  So that gets you the files.  It also gets Git the metadata, including the hash ID of earlier commit G.  This means Git can extract both commits and compare the files in G to those in H, to show you what you changed in H.  Git can also print out the name and email address of the person who made snapshot G, and use G's metadata to find commit F.  Comparing the snapshot in F to that in G, Git can show you what changed in G, and Git can go back to even-earlier commit F, and so on.
Of course, we have to somehow find the hash ID of commit H.

*A branch name like master or develop simply holds one (1) hash ID.  But as long as we—or Git—make sure that this is the hash ID of the last commit in the chain, we're all good:
 ...--F--G--H   <-- master

Making a new commit requires that Git store the new commit's hash ID into the branch name:
 ...--F--G--H--I   <-- master

Once we make commit I (while we're using master as the name), Git will automatically update master so that it points to the last commit.  The parent of new commit I will be existing commit H.
Since the "arrows" from each commit, pointing to its parent, are part of the commit, they can't be changed.  Like everything in a commit, these are purely read-only.  Note that the arrow coming out of the branch name does change, though.  So that's why I keep drawing that arrow, while turning the commit-to-commit arrows into simpler lines: we just have to remember that commits point backwards, and Git works backwards.

*Commits can be on more than one branch at a time.  For instance:
 ...--F--G--H   <-- master, develop

Here, both names identify commit H as their last commit.  So all the commits are on both branches.
The technical term for this is reachability.  We're just going to use this lightly below, in merges, but think about starting from commit H and working backwards, one commit at a time.  Without moving, we've reached commit H.  We move back one step, and we've reached commit G.  Move back two steps and we're at commit F, and so on.

*Note that Git can compare any two commits, not just a parent and child pair.  We put the earlier commit on the left (well, normally anyway) and the later commit on the right.  Git then compares the two commits' snapshots.  For files that are the same, Git says nothing at all.  For files that are different, Git figures out some set of changes we can do: add these lines after line 42, and remove line 86  This is a diff: it shows how to change the left-side file into the right side file.
If we compare parent and child, this diff listing is usually what we did.  But note that Git will just find a set of changes.  In some cases, that's not quite how we changed it.  The diff Git finds will work, even if we did things a little differently—but sometimes (see merging below), this can cause minor but annoying merge conflicts, that wouldn't happen if Git did a better job here.

*When we use git push (or git fetch and hence therefore also git pull), Git works with commits.  A push operation sends whole commits.  This includes both the snapshot and the metadata.  The two Gits know which commits each other has by just comparing those hash IDs: this is why the hash IDs are cryptographic checksums of the commits.  Each Git either has a commit, or doesn't.  Whichever Git is sending commits offers the hash ID to the receiving Git, which either says "yes, I need that one, send it" or "no thanks, I already have that one".
git merge will merge commits and make a merge commit
The git merge command itself merges commits.  We like to use it with branch names.  That is, we start out with something like this:
          I--J   <-- branch1 (HEAD)
         /
...--G--H
         \
          K--L   <-- branch2

Because we have two names in this diagram, we need to remember which name we are using.  That's where the special name HEAD comes in: we attach it to whichever branch we've told Git to use with git checkout or (since Git 2.23) git switch.  That's the name that will be updated when we make a new commit.
So, now we run git merge branch2.  Git uses the name branch2 to find one specific commit: the one the name points to.  In this case, that's commit L.  So two of the interesting commits are commit J, the one we are using right now, and commit L, the one we named on the command line.
The merge operation, however, actually requires three commits.  The third one—or in a way, the first one—is whichever commit is the best common ancestor of the other two.  You can think of this as Git looking at the two commits we've already named—J and L here—and working backwards.  We'll move back as far as we need to, from both commits, until we find some commit we can find from both commits.
In this case, the best shared commit is obvious: it's commit H.  Commit H is on both branches.  Commit G is too, but it's further back, so H is the best one.
To actually accomplish a merge, Git will now diff the merge base—commit H—against our current commit, J, to see what we changed:
git diff --find-renames <hash-of-H> <hash-of-J>   # what we changed

Then Git will diff the same merge base against the other commit we named:
git diff --find-renames <hash-of-H> <hash-of-L>   # what they changed

The heart of git merge—and what I like to call the verb form, or to merge—is now the process of combining these two diffs.  Git has found the common starting point, and found two sets of changes: "ours" (from the HEAD / current-branch commit), and "theirs" (from the commit we named on the command line).  As long as we and they changed different files or different lines within the same file,1 Git itself will be able to do this combining on its own.
Git will repeat this for all files.  Git will apply the combined changes to the snapshot from the merge base (here, commit H), and if there are no conflicts, Git will make a new merge commit on its own.  This is what I call merge as a noun, as the adjective merge in front of the word commit is often used as a noun, "a merge".
To prevent Git from making this commit on its own, we'll use --no-commit.  If we didn't, Git would still stop in the case of a merge conflict (and then you'd have to resolve the conflict before committing).
Before we go on to show how to undo part of the merge, let's pretend we finished the merge as normal, or left out --no-commit, so that we get the final merge commit.  Let's draw it in:
          I--J
         /    \
...--G--H      M   <-- branch1 (HEAD)
         \    /
          K--L   <-- branch2

Note that the name branch1 has been updated as usual.  It now points to new merge commit M.  What makes M a merge is simple: it has, instead of the usual single parent commit J, two parents.  Git adds commit L as the second parent of the new commit.
The true significance of this new second parent will become clearer in a moment, but note that we're now able to reach both commits K and L from the name branch1 and commit M, by going down-and-left.  So now all the commits are on (reachable from) the name branch1, while commits I and J are not on branch2: they're not reachable from branch2 because the last commit on branch2 is commit L, whose (single) parent is K, whose (single) parent is H.  From H we can only go backwards to G, and then to F and so on.

1If we both change (say) line 42, in different ways, Git will not know whether to use our change, or their change, or something different.  Here Git will declare a merge conflict, and stop in the middle of the merge, with the merge unfinished.  Your job becomes that of telling Git what the final result should be.
Git will also stop even if our change and their change simply abut (touch): if we replace the old line 42 with a new line 42, and they replace the old line 43 with a new line 43, Git will declare a merge conflict here as well.  This is particularly helpful—yet also particularly annoying—with changes at the top of a file, or at the end, because Git doesn't know which order to put those changes in.  For instance, if there is a 10-line file and we add an 11th line and they add an 11th line, which line goes first?  Which line becomes line 12?  Git itself doesn't know, so it makes whoever is doing the git merge provide the right answer.

Using (or abusing?) --no-commit
When Git makes the snapshot for merge commit M, Git does so in the same way it does for any commit.  We haven't talked about the role of Git's index or staging area here—and for length reasons, we won't—but the point is that new commit M will have a snapshot, just like any other commit.  We can, with git checkout or git restore, or just by editing the working tree copies of files and using git add, change what goes into commit M.
So, if we run:
git checkout branch1
git merge --no-commit branch2

and Git thinks it is all done but hasn't made the merge, we can now make particular files—such as every file in some directory—match the copies of those files in the HEAD (i.e., current, i.e., J) commit:
git checkout HEAD -- subdir2 subdir3

This will replace, in Git's index and your working tree, all the copies of the files in subdir2/ and subdir3/ with those from the HEAD snapshot.  Or:
git restore -iw --source HEAD subdir2 subdir3

which does the same thing.
If you now run git merge --continue or git commit, Git will now make the snapshot for M from the merged files as updated by this step.  You will get the same commit graph as before:
          I--J
         /    \
...--G--H      M   <-- branch1 (HEAD)
         \    /
          K--L   <-- branch2

What's different is that the snapshot in commit M now matches the snapshot in commit J, except for the files that you didn't restore, which now contain the merge that Git made automatically, using H, J, and L as the three input commits.
Note that nothing has changed in the three existing input commits.  Nothing can change, so nothing did.  This means that you can, if you like, re-do this same merge later, with or without --no-commit.  Because all commit hash IDs include the time-stamp when computing the cryptographic checksum, a new merge, if and when you make it, will have a different hash ID than existing merge commit M.  You may wish to make use of this fact later.
Commits are the history in a repository
Now that commit M exists:
          I--J
         /    \
...--G--H      M   <-- branch1 (HEAD)
         \    /
          K--L   <-- branch2

Git will, in essence, believe that commit M is the correct result of the merge.  Let's add some more commits to branch1 and branch2, in the usual way (git checkout or git switch, plus the usual work), then get ready to merge branch2 into branch1 again:
          I--J
         /    \
...--G--H      M--N   <-- branch1 (HEAD)
         \    /
          K--L--O--P   <-- branch2

If we run git log we'll see commits N, then M, then—in some order—J and I and L and K—and then H, then G, and so on.  If we run git log branch2, we'll see commit P, then O, then L, then K, then H, then G, and so on.  This is because these are the reachable commits from each branch-tip commit.  When traversing backwards through M, Git will visit both legs of the branch:2 note that when viewed backwards, a merge is, in effect, a branch (and a branching split, where H split into streams I and K, is a merge).
In any case, if we now run:
git merge branch2

again (with or without --no-commit), Git will go through the usual process to locate the two branch-tip commits N and P and then work backwards to find the best shared commit as the merge base.  In this case, that best shared commit is commit L: two steps back from N as long as we go down at the fork, and two steps back from P as well.3
Git will now do the usual diffing, from L to N to see what we changed, and from L to P to see what they changed.  If we've used git checkout or git restore to make files in merge M match those in J, "what we changed" is to put our stuff from J back, and "what they changed" is often nothing at all, as the snapshots in O and P, on branch2, won't have to make any changes to keep their code.
What this means is that by telling Git that the right way to merge J and L is to keep the files from J, Git will continue to believe that this is the right way to do the merge.
Note that if you re-perform the merge of J and L (by checking out either commit as a historical commit, or making a new branch name, and then merging the other commit), Git will still re-do the same work it did the first time we merged J and L.  That is, this time, Git will again combine the files that you put back manually.  It's when we do the merge of N and P, which both have the M commit in their history, that Git will "see" the merge we did earlier.

2This helps show why the word branch is problematic in Git.  If we want to be precise, we should use the phrase branch name when talking about names like master, branch1, and branch2.  Structural branches—where H forks if you're reading forwards, or M forks when Git is reading backwards—don't have great names.  I like to call them DAGlets: see my answer to What exactly do we mean by "branch"?
3The fact that it's been 2 steps back each time, on both "legs", is a sort of coincidence forced by me trying to draw pretty graphs.  Often it's a different number of steps on each leg, and in some cases, it's no steps back from one or both commits.  However, when going no steps back, the merge is either trivial (and Git will do something else—not actually merging—by default) or already done (and Git will just say that you're up to date and do nothing).

Summary

*

*The merging action—the to merge part of git merge—merges commits.  That is, it looks at the snapshots in each commit.

*The merge process uses the history, which is a result of the graph recorded by earlier commits (including merge commits), to find the merge base.

*You can deliberately pause Git after the merge-as-a-verb part and make changes.

*When you finish this part, and use git merge --continue or git commit to make the merge-as-a-noun, the resulting snapshot will be whatever you made it to be, while Git was paused.

This is how you can achieve what you want.  Since you're dealing with git-subtree elsewhere (I assume), the fact that this makes a later merge "harder" in some sense may be irrelevant: if you need updated subdir2 files, you can just git checkout or git restore -iw them from the appropriate commit.

The 997 is the internal designation for the Porsche 911 model manufactured between 2004 and 2012. The 997 was an evolution of the preceding 996, with the most significant changes being interior and exterior styling. Larger 18 inch wheels and other engineering changes include slightly increased power; however, the car is technically similar to its predecessor. A new S version was offered, with additional power from a slightly larger engine, sports suspension, and sports exhaust. The 997 is the most commercially successful 911 of all time, having sold 100,000 units of the first phase alone between its introduction in 2005 and July 2007. It has also received mostly positive reviews from the worldwide motoring press.
Originally registered on 5th July 2008, this Porsche Carrera 2S is in unmarked condition and ready to be enjoyed immediately. Having been maintained for the last four years by Porsche Centre Colchester, she is in great order mechanically with no known faults and bodywork wise she is unmarked. The Basalt Black paintwork has a deep rich finish to it and the black interior shows no sign of any wear and tear. Benefitting from rear parking aids and a Bose surround system, this Porsche is described as being a delight to drive. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a full year's MoT test certificate together with a substantial history folder, this 911/997 is a splendid example.

About the Author: Tom King
Tom King (born July 15, 1978) is an American author, comic book writer, and ex-CIA officer. He is best known for writing the novel A Once Crowded Sky, The Vision for Marvel Comics, The Sheriff of Babylon for the DC Comics imprint Vertigo, and Batman and Mister Miracle for DC Comics.
King primarily grew up in Southern California. His mother worked for the film industry which inspired his love of storytelling. He interned at both DC and Marvel Comics during the late 1990s. He studied both philosophy and history at Columbia University, graduating in 2000. He identifies as "half-Jewish, half-midwestern".
King interned both at DC Comics and Marvel Comics, where he was an assistant to X-Men writer Chris Claremont, before joining the CIA counterterrorism unit after 9/11. King spent seven years as a counterterrorism operations officer for the CIA before quitting to write his debut novel, A Once Crowded Sky, after the birth of his first child.
A Once Crowded Sky, King's debut superhero novel with comics pages illustrated by Tom Fowler, was published on July 10, 2012 by Touchstone, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, to positive reception.
In 2014, King was chosen to co-write Grayson for DC Comics, along with Tim Seeley and Mikel Janin on art. After penning Nightwing #30, King, Seeley, and Janin launched Grayson in May 2014, featuring Dick Grayson leaving behind his Nightwing persona at age 22 to become Agent 37, a Spyral spy. King and Seeley plotted the series together and traded issues to script separately, with King providing additional authenticity through his background with the CIA.
A relaunch of classic DC Comics series The Omega Men was published in June 2015 by King and debut artist Barnaby Bagenda, as part of the publisher's relaunch DC You. The series follows a group of rebels fighting an oppressive galactic empire, and feature White Lantern Kyle Rayner. The Omega Men, created in 1981, are DC's cosmic equivalent to Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, though significantly more obscure. King's and Bagenda's use of the nine-panel grid, popularized by Alan Moore's and Dave Gibbons' Watchmen, has been praised by reviewers.
In San Diego Comic-Con 2015, Vertigo revealed a new creator-owned project written by King with art by Mitch Gerads titled The Sheriff of Baghdad. The project, a crime series in the vein of Vertigo titles like Preacher and Scalped, was set to launch in late 2015, and was inspired by King's time in Iraq as part of the CIA. Initially an eight-issue miniseries, it was later re-titled The Sheriff of Babylon and expanded into an ongoing series. The first issue launched in December 2015 to critical acclaim, with reviewers praising its "deeply personal" storytelling and the "intriguing" and "captivating" personalities of its characters. That same year, DC announced "Robin War", a crossover storyline set for December that would run for five weeks through titles Grayson, Detective Comics, We Are Robin, and Robin: Son of Batman; King was set to orchestrate the crossover's story-line and pen two one-shots to open and close the series.
As part of Marvel Comics' All-New, All-Different relaunch, King was announced as the writer of The Vision, a new ongoing following the titular character and his newly created family, with artist Gabriel Hernández Walta, colorist Jordie Bellaire, and covers by Mike del Mundo, launching in November 2015. The Vision has been well received by the public, with reviewers calling the series one of Marvel's "biggest surprises" and praising the narration, art, and colors.
In September 2015, DC cancelled King's The Omega Men, along with four other titles, with the series ending with issue seven. After negative fan response to the cancellation, Jim Lee, DC's co-publisher, announced that they would be bringing back The Omega Men through at least issue 12. Lee described the decision to cancel the series as "a bit hasty," crediting the book's critical acclaim and fan social media reactions as the reason the title would go on for the planned 12-issue run.
King penned a Green Lantern one-shot that ties into the "Darkseid War" Justice League storyline, titled "Will You Be My God?", which James Whitbrook of io9 praised as "one of the best" Green Lantern stories.
King and co-writer Tim Seeley announced they would leave Grayson after issue #18, with King clarifying on Twitter that they were working on something "big and cool" and needed time. King and Seeley officially left the series in February with issue #17, with Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly taking over for its last three issues with issue #18 in March.
DC Comics announced in February 2016 that King had signed an exclusivity deal with the publisher, which would see him writing exclusively for DC and Vertigo. King revealed via his Twitter account that he would stay on The Vision as writer through issue 12, finishing the story arc he had planned from the beginning.
In March 2016, it was announced that King would be writing the main bi-weekly Batman series beginning with a new #1, replacing long-time writer Scott Snyder, as part of DC's Rebirth relaunch that June. King has stated that his run would be 100 issues total, with the entirety being released twice-monthly, though this was later curtailed to 85 issues and 3 annuals, with a 12 issue followup maxiseries Batman/Catwoman to finish the story.
In August 2017, King and regular collaborator Mitch Gerads launched the first issue of their Mister Miracle series, with a planned total run of twelve issues. In June 2018 DC Comics announced King would be writing Heroes in Crisis, a limited series centering around a concept he introduced in Batman.
In July 2018, he received the Eisner Award for Best Writer, shared with Marjorie Liu.
In May and June 2019, King, DC Co-Publisher Jim Lee, and CW series actresses Nafessa Williams, Candice Patton, and Danielle Panabaker toured five U.S. military bases in Kuwait with the United Service Organizations (USO), where they visited the approximately 12,000 U.S. military personnel stationed in that country as part of DC's 80th anniversary of Batman celebration.
In September 2020, DC Comics announced that King would be among the creators of a revived Batman: Black and White anthology series to debut on December 8, 2020. From 2021 to 2022, King was the writer on the eight-issue miniseries Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow with artist Bilquis Evely. Susana Polo, for Polygon, wrote that "with the final issue of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow I can definitively say this book slaps front to back. […] The best thing Tom King's done since Mister Miracle". David Harth, for CBR, commented that since The Omega Men, "King has mostly stayed away from sci-fi, going for a more psychological take on superheroes instead". Harth highlighted that Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow "is very much a sci-fi epic" and that the series is "even more imaginative than Omega Men's sci-fi, as it has King flexing his muscles in different ways".
King lives in Washington, D.C. with his wife and three children.

Surfacing & Finishing
BEST PRACTICES FOR YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA "ROAD TRIP"
By Judith Lee
In an optical industry driven by technology and digital information, think of social media as the mini-bus that connects you with your customers in a road trip of shared experience. The value of that connection is what's fueling the use of social media by 93 percent of all U.S. marketers, including a growing number of those who market optical laboratories.
Wherever your lab might be in the social media journey, there's something to learn from those who have traveled before. Here are six best practices to get you on your way.
1) GET GOING
The only way to start is, well, to start. But it's not unusual to feel cautious about this new form of digital connection or to encounter reluctance from others on your team.
"Having a Facebook page was not looked at as a top priority," said Beth Showalter, president of ICE-TECH Advanced Lens Technologies of Atlantic Beach, Fl. "At one point, I offered to work on it on my own time since I believed in it so much."
The good news is that it takes just a minimal investment of time – and no money – to sign up for a social media account. You can take it slowly until you feel more comfortable.
If you are not sure which social media account to focus on, optical lab marketers say Facebook should be your first priority.
"We started using all social media in April 2011. Facebook has given the best results by providing instant feedback to and from our customers," said Brian Conley, director of marketing for Optical Prescription Lab (OPL) in Birmingham, Ala.
Being more of a direct-to-consumer company, Maui Jim Sunglasses has been using Facebook and Twitter for three years. "We have experienced successful promotions with both, but our concentration is on Facebook, so as far as success is concerned, it is our most successful to date," said Dave Siragusa, Webmaster for Maui Jim.
2) TWO HEADS OR ONE?
One of the first questions to sort out is whether you'll have one person who handles your social media, or more than one. Optical labs indicate that it can work well either way.
"I am the only one in charge, which keeps consistency in our messages and vision," Conley said.
Showalter believes that two heads are better than one. "I have two admins [person who manages Facebook page] at my company. I prefer to have multiple points of view on our page and it has definitely helped us be more creative!" she noted.
Maui Jim's social media program is large, and by necessity, is managed by a dedicated web and social team, Siragusa said.
The person or persons who manage your social media must be committed to your lab's mission and be conversant with all departments in order to be the voice of your company. It's also advisable to have a social media policy in place.
3) SEEK AND YOU SHALL FIND
Once you have a Facebook and/or Twitter account, you need to reach out and connect. On Facebook they are called "fans" and on Twitter they are called "followers" but what they represent is an opportunity to deepen your relationship with customers and expand your reach to prospects.
Ice-Tech has found that offering a promotion code for those who "like" their page is a great way to increase the fan base. OPL agrees and takes it even further.
"We post ALL specials and discounts on Social Media. This helps get the word out quicker to accounts and builds interest with ECPs that do not currently use OPL," Conley said.
While Maui Jim reaches out through social media, the premium sunglass brand does not offer discounts to those who "like" the page.
"Our brand does not discount," Siragusa said. "We rather choose to promote new releases, ambassadors or our charitable efforts. Our best tactic is to be true to the brand and treat every fan as if they are part of our Ohana (family)."
4) LEVERAGE ACROSS ALL CHANNELS
To motivate customers and prospects to connect, it's best to develop a campaign through all communication media.
"I have found it best if you launch multiple campaigns at the same time—such as marketing e-mail, statement flyers, box inserts, and a Facebook link on our Web site home page," Showalter said.
OPL has created "Like us on Facebook" messages that it delivers through advertising at optical events, customer service scripts or inserts, and by word–of– mouth through sales staff.
Going forward, it's a best practice to integrate social media messages with Web content, email marketing, flyers or statement stuffers and other marketing vehicles for all promotions or campaigns.
5) ENGAGE YOUR FANS
You won't achieve your social media goals unless you engage your fans and followers. Recent research indicates that consumers who engage with a brand on social media are twice as likely to purchase that brand as consumers who are not engaged.
Showalter says it's plain and simple: "Show them something worth sharing on their own Facebook page."
True engagement means allowing a dialogue such as permitting fans to post directly on your Facebook page. This opens up the possibility of complaints or negative comments about your brand, but all three of our optical social media experts say this is worth the risk.
"We welcome honest feedback. Luckily, we don't have a lot of negative feedback, only those 'wowed' with our product," said Showalter. She added that a negative comment provides an opportunity to portray how the company deals with adversity as well as compliments.
Conley said he monitors the Facebook page three times a day to ensure the posts on the OPL Facebook page are pertaining to optical. This also would enable him to deal promptly with any negativity.
Siragusa pointed out that authenticity is essential in social media: "We always allow fans to post. If we don't, then we are talking at our fans and that isn't social behavior. Too many company Facebook pages overwhelm their fans with irrelevant content."
6) BUILD A BIGGER BUS
To expand your social media program, you should sponsor a Facebook contest. ICE-TECH is just about to launch a contest in which customers post photos of the company's lenses; the best photo wins a free job from the lab.
OPL has a monthly Facebook contest that changes every month. Once football season arrives, that ramps up to a weekly contest:
• OPL picks two teams
• Facebook followers guess the score
• The closest guess wins prizes
"Our contests increase Facebook and Web site traffic by over 300 percent as compared to when we are not running a contest," Conley said.
Last year Maui Jim ran a successful Facebook contest that raised money for a charity, The Ocean Foundation.
Once you have your social media foundation, you should consider expanding through other social media accounts. Showalter said her lab will increase its use of Twitter to drive followers to the Facebook page and Web site. She asserted that social media has enhanced customer relationships, and most definitely has brought in new business. "Social media has made a positive difference, and we have gotten several customers through our Facebook page alone," said Showalter.

Lesson 1: If you let your flash get blocked by the ropes, dark stripes will appear on the photos. Whilst trying to avoid this don't let your lens stick into the ring … how was I to know the referee wasn't only there to castigate the boxers.
Lesson 2: If you do stick your lens in the ring, when the referee isn't looking, get it out fast when the boxers come near. The ropes are surprisingly flexible and despite not being in the ring you can be knocked quite a distance.
Either you master "The Force". Unfortunately the boxing ring is not a conducive place to meditate.
Or you guess just beforehand where they are going to punch whilst also maintaining focus on a subject that keeps moving within the frame of your camera. Quite frankly nearly impossible without having spent years practising "spot the ball".
Alternatively snap away and hope you get lucky. I chose this latter technique, which can on occasion bare fruit as demonstrated by this image.
Lesson 4: Note the rounds so you know when the fight is over. Then as the referee raises the arm of the winning boxer you won't be left looking at the back of their heads, while the photographer for the boxing magazine has you in the background of his shot looking confused.
Lesson 5: When asked to photograph the winners after they leave the ring, remember that only one boxer will want to smile for the camera. I don't recommend arguing with the other one just to create a nice picture, believe you me those gloves don't soften the blow much when you're hit on the nose!

New to the UB2 environment.
Before even wanting to try to play any game, I tried watching live battles in public rooms.
But when I get into it, everything is frozen: I see no activity. Sometimes, I hear and see dices rolling at first, but that's all.
I then exist the room and re-enter it a few seconds later: I then see changes as I see units have moved.
Do you have any explanation about this frozen behaviour?
Is there a minimum hw/sw requirements? I run it on a MS Surface 3 with Windows10.

Until yesterday, I would not have been able to answer your question as over the past months, I was never able to install the app on my tablet.
But yesterday, the installation eventually worked. And now, I can view battles normally by using the app.. but still not in the browser..
Anyway.. I've now subscribed for a PRO subscription and am currently discovering the edition of armies.

For those of you that have read some of my previous guest blogs, you'll know that I like to touch on the areas that influenced George Lucas in the making of Star Wars. A few years ago I purchased a book called Star Wars Art: Visions. It was in the foreword of this book where I discovered Lucas's love for illustrated art and artists like J. C. Leyendecker, Maxfield Parrish, and Norman Rockwell. Fast forward a couple of years; I was taking a class in Humanities, and for my final project we had to choose two works of art of the same media, with a similar theme, but from two different time periods. Thanks to Lucas, one of my immediate choices was J. C. Leyendecker's Weapons for Liberty. It was Lucas's love for illustrated art and my love for Star Wars that helped me choose a work of art that no one else had ever even heard of. I thought it'd be a good idea to talk about Lucas's love for illustrated art and how it had a hand in telling the story of Star Wars.
While researching for my final project online, I stumbled upon a museum that was located about an hour from where I live. Last month, my older sister and I visited the National Museum of American Illustration in Newport, RI. It houses an extensive collection of works by artists I mentioned above. In the downstairs section of the museum, there is a shop where you can buy all sorts of illustrated related products from prints to nightlights. On one of the tables there were books of fairy tale art—this is the sort of art I believe had a hand in the storytelling of Star Wars. Star Wars is very much a fairy tale with characters like knights, gnomes, and princesses. Fairy tale art for stories such as Faust played a role in telling the story of Faust and his deal with Mephistopheles.
Along with illustrated art, comic book artists like Alex Raymond, Al Williamson, Frank Frazetta, and Jean Girard, AKA Moebius, just name a very few, were huge influences on the look of Star Wars when it was in its development stage. I highly suggested to anyone interested in learning more about illustrated art, to visit the NMAI website at americanillustrated.org. Definitely check out the website dedicated to the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art at lucasmuseum.org. There is another tremendous website called kitbashed.com that is dedicated to all different areas of influence for Star Wars—this website does not get enough praise or attention in my opinion.
I was recently asked "why do you like Star Wars so much. I answered, "It's because of the great story and the great characters." Yes, it has elements of history, mythology, religion, and politics; but it's the characters–the look and story of Star Wars that always captures my imagination. All of which were taken from fairy tales and the illustrated art in which they were born.

Pioneering music producer Si Begg presents his sixth studio album Blueprints on Berlin's legendary label Shitkatapult. His first album in four years, Blueprints is a celebration of raw electronics welded to the "romance of engineering". The project was inspired by the discovery of an old diagrammatic notebook that belonged to Begg's grandfather, George, in his lifetime a cutting-edge engineer. Dubbed "visionary" by The Who's Pete Townshend and widely considered a producer's producer, Begg has been making genre-defying electronic music for more than two decades. He has carved a reputation as a recording artist, DJ, and sound designer, and in more recent years, as an award-winning composer for television and film. Blueprints sees Begg's passion for contemporary score collide with his love of electronic music. Since the release of his last album, 2013's Permission To Explode, Begg has written scores for four feature films as well as for the Netflix original series, Lovesick, and a battle rap documentary, War of Words (2016). The concept for the album sprang fully formed when Begg came across the notebook, a beautifully preserved leather-bound volume, annotated in his grandfather's precise hand. The book was filled with meticulous diagrams of compressors and parallel air ducts, graphs recording comparative noise levels at different factories, statistical information detailing the thermal efficiency of power stations, alongside blueprints for futuristic machines yet to be built. At the same time, Begg was reconnecting with his own back-to-basics studio machinery, the voltage-powered hardware instead of slick high-end software. The parallel discoveries felt like synchronicity and Begg began producing tracks using analog synthesizers recorded live in one take, augmented by circuit bending effects units and the electro-magnetic field noise created by mobile phones and hard drives. Begg decided to champion these idiosyncratic machines, putting them center stage with the aim to demonstrate that not only were these unique tools to create art, they were simultaneously works of art in their own right. The pieces on Blueprints evoke the beauty and romance of great engineering, often overlooked in a landscape of post-industrial gloom. From the hums and sparking pops of "Heat Resistant Alloys" to the relentless subsonic sine waves underpinning "Resistance Is Expensive", raw electrical signals pulse through the heart of the music. This is a work of complex, evolving mathematical patterns, circuitry bent out of shape. It is a hymn to the voltage-controlled oscillator.

Decision to drop plan for summer train to Rockland disappoints city's businesses
The trains were expected to run for three weekends, including during the Maine Lobster Festival and the Maine Boats, Homes & Harbors show in August.

ROCKLAND — There will be no passenger train service between Brunswick and Rockland this summer.
Amtrak was unable to conduct a risk assessment of the 58 miles of track along the route, which is necessary before service can resume, Patricia Quinn, executive director of the Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority, said Tuesday.
Amtrak service to Rockland may get first test with summer weekend schedule
Quinn said Amtrak had other existing routes to tend to before it could review the Brunswick-to-Rockland line, and there was not enough time for the assessment to be done to start this summer's proposed pilot program. Amtrak must make sure the track is able to handle the speeds of passenger trains.
Quinn said she hoped, however, that a more robust schedule could be in place for the summer of 2019. "We want to take the momentum started this year and roll into next year," Quinn said.
Gordon Page, executive director of Rockland Main Street Inc., said Tuesday that the news was disappointing to the downtown business district. He said, however, that he expects a lengthier schedule to be offered in subsequent years.
The Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority Board voted on Feb. 26 to proceed with a three-week pilot program for passenger train service between Brunswick and Rockland in 2018.
Board members said they'd received more than two dozen letters of support from local community members, according to Page. Board members also cited the enthusiastic support of the communities, particularly Rockland.
The train was to make stops in Bath, Wiscasset and Newcastle, as well as Rockland.
The train station is owned by the Maine Department of Transportation, but Rockland would be responsible for installing lighting outside the station, as well as maintaining the platform.
Amtrak also had to negotiate with Central Maine and Quebec Railway, which leases the 58-mile Brunswick-to-Rockland line to move freight.

How to Easily Create a Quiz in WordPress?
Looking for ways to increase user engagement in your WordPress site?
You should integrate quizzes in your website. Quizzes are fun, interesting, and if you can do things in the proper way, they will instantly make your site more interactive. By analyzing your visitor's response to the quizzes, you can gradually make your website a lot more engaging.
So, how do you add the quizzes to your WordPress site?
Since we are using WordPress, the easiest answer is by using a plugin. A quick search in the WordPress plugin repository will provide you with several free quiz plugins. However, if you haven't used these plugins before, you will find it hard to choose a plugin over the others.
Well, I did that task for you. I went through all the available free plugins and found out that one plugin outperforms all the others.
And that is – Wp-Pro-Quiz.
The simple and beginner-friendly plugin comes with all the necessary options for creating interesting quizzes for your visitors. In today's post, I will show you how to create a quiz with Wp-Pro-Quiz.
Before we begin, download and install the plugin on your WordPress site. Once you do that, we can initiate the quiz creation process.
Let's start right from the first step.
To create a quiz, you have to create a template first. To do that, go to WP-Pro-Quiz -> WP-Pro-Quiz and click the 'Add Quiz' button. Never mind the button title, it will take you to the new template page.
In the beginning, provide a title for your quiz. And then, you will find an option to choose a category for the template. As you don't have any categories, you can create a new category by selecting the '— Create new category —' option.
In the 'Options' section, you can choose options for the template. The first three check boxes allow you to hide the quiz title, the 'Restart Quiz' and 'View Question' buttons.
Then, you will find more check boxes to display questions and answers randomly. If you want to limit the quiz duration, provide the value in seconds in the 'Time Limit' field. Enable the 'Statistics' box to store detailed statistics about the performance of participants. And for allowing one user to take the quiz only once, check the 'Execute quiz only once' box. You can also choose the intended user types for this action.
An interesting option here is the 'Prerequisites'. By enabling this option, you can require the visitor to complete another quiz before participating in this one. And from the options below, you can choose to auto-start the quiz and allow only registered users to participate.
In this section, you can choose the options related to the questions. The first two options allow you to show the points and add a serial number to the questions. The next two options could be used to help the visitor identify the right or wrong answer.
And then, you can choose to force the visitor to respond each question, hide question position in the quiz, hide the serial number of the question and display category. Some of the options are provided with a demo to preview how it will look like.
As you can guess, this section allows you to choose the options related to the quiz result. The first choice, 'Show average points' can be used to display the average score and the visitor's score once the quiz finishes. To use this option, you need to enable the 'Statistics' option from the 'Options' section.
'Show category score' will display the results for each category in a separate row. And if you want to let the participants know how many answers were correct, you should leave the 'Hide correct questions' box unchecked.
Lastly, checking the 'Hide score' box will not display the total score for the participant.
Normal: This is the default view. The visitor will not have any back button, and the total result will be displayed at the end of the quiz.
Normal + Back Button: This mode has a back button. Therefore, this mode allows the participant to change their answers. However, this will not show the correct answers.
Check -> Continue: This is like normal mode with one significant change. There is a 'Check' button with each question. By clicking that button, participants can check whether their answer was right or wrong.
Questions Below Each Other: This mode displays the questions one after another on the same page. But you can choose to display a particular number of questions on a single page.
By checking the 'Leaderboard' box, you can enable ranking of the participants. You can choose to include the registered, anonymous or all users on the list. It is also possible to determine where the leaderboard should be displayed.
There are two e-mail settings – Admin and User.
Enabling this option will send notification emails to the admin and the participant. You can customize the sender, receiver, subject and message body for both types of e-mails.
In this required section, you have to provide an explanation about the quiz. This text will be displayed before the quiz starts.
This section is optional. If you want, you can provide custom text here which will be revealed once the quiz is completed.
After making all the changes, provide a name or the template in 'Template name' field at the bottom and click 'Save as template'.
Now that you have created a template, you are ready to create a new quiz. To do that, again go to the WP-Pro-Quiz -> WP-Pro-Quiz page and click the 'Add Quiz' button.
This time, choose the template you created a while ago from the drop-down menu located at the top-right corner of the page. Click the 'Load template' button and this will load all the settings from that template.
If you want to make any changes to this particular quiz, you can do that too. Once you are satisfied with the options, click the 'Save' button at the bottom. This will create the quiz. At the resulting page, click the 'back to overview' button at the top. This will take you to the quizzes page.
On the page, you will find your newly created quiz. Hover over the quiz name and you will find some options – Questions, Edit, Delete, Preview, Statistics, and Leaderboard.
The last three options will work once you have added some questions and people have taken the quiz.
You can either create a template for the questions or directly create a question. I will show you how to create a question.
The first option of the page is the 'Title'. This optional title will not be displayed in the quiz. Next up, you have the 'Points' section. Here, you can assign points for each question. It is also possible to assign different points for each answer. From the 'Category' section, you can create a category for the question.
You will add the actual question in the 'Question' section. Write the question in the text box. You can use the formatting options and add media files to the question. The next text boxes allow you to provide custom text for the correct and incorrect answers. By enabling 'Hint', you can optionally provide a hint for the participant.
You can choose the type of answer in the 'Answer type' section. You have several options including single choice, multiple choice, free choice, assessment, etc.
In the 'Answers' section, you will provide the answer(s) to the question. You can add as many answers as you want. By checking the 'Allow HTML' box, you can allow the participants to use HTML formatting in the answers. And there is a separate radio button for choosing the correct answer.
Once you have provided the necessary changes, click 'Save' to save the question. You can also choose to save the question as a template.
To add multiple issues, just repeat this process.

very nice guiding .Can you help me how a user can sign up after that he can log in and start the test.
Thanks for this! I was able to create vocabulary quizzes for a class I am teaching, which is really helpful.
When I click on the message nothing happens. Where do I find the sign in or sign up page?
How can the administrator see the detailed answers provided ?
Thanks for this awesome tutorial! Just wondered if there was any way to change the words "correct" and "incorrect" to something a bit friendlier? I have added "correct" and "incorrect" messages but the words "correct and "incorrect" still show up above my personal message. Is there any way to take these away or change them?
I am setting up a Q&A type quiz. I have the questions and answers in and the quiz runs OK. However the answers required MUST be identical to the one I entered. For instance, if I put in an apostrophe, if the answer does not include this it is marked incorrect. If I put a full-stop in and the answer omits it, it is marked as incorrect. This is clearly an impossible situation.
I am having some difficulty with setting up a simple Q&A.
The software requires an exact answer, that is one exactly the same as the answer given when loading the quiz.
If the answer is 'No.' If the stop is not entered then the answer is marked wrong.
If there is an apostrophe in the answer and it is omitted by the entrant, then the software marks it as wrong. e.g. 'It's'.
Thank you! Amazing guide and well written.
Is there a way to export results in excel?


HARPENDEN continued their fine start to the season with a comprehensive defeat of Broxbourne on Saturday in the East Men's League Premier B.
A fine first-half performance led by Man of the Match David Falk took Harpenden into the break three goals up and the game was won. The goals were scored by Falk and Paul Wise with two.
Broxbourne attempted to knock the home side out of their stride after the break but Harpenden held their nerve and battled to a well-deserved victory. Lance Boyd-Clark added his name to the scoresheet and Harpenden were very proud to hand a first team debut to impressive prospect Alex Radgman, aged 15.
Nigel Timms marked his first appearance of the season for Harpenden II with a goal but the Whites went down 4-1 to Upminster.
The Great Whites host Southend next week, who maintained their 100 per cent start to the season in Division Two South, but skipper Sam Martyn said: "Let's not forget, this lot were playing - and beating - our first team four years ago. It just goes to show how far we've come. We were under no illusions about how tough this league will be but I have every confidence that we'll turn the corner very soon and start accumulating points.


So when I was little I always looked forward to Guy Fawkes Night, for me as a child it meant a huge bonfire at our local Rugby Club or School on which we burnt our 'Penny for the Guy', with amazing fireworks, hot dogs, toffee apples, and sparklers all celebrated with family and friends wrapped up head to toe in a hundred layers because the clocks had just gone back and the nights were drawing in and all of a sudden it was freezing cold.
Well not a lot has changed in the 30 or so years, we still go to a organised local event, with a huge bonfire and fireworks, although the fireworks are a million times better than they used to be, many more, louder and bigger ones, and the weather isn't as cold as I remember it being. One thing that has changed is the name, which is correct I am not sure, but in our house we now call it Bonfire Night.
We tend to make a big deal about the 5th of November (or the Saturday nearest to it…) in the Little Grippers household, with friends over before hand for the kids to play together, a huge feast of typical bonfire night foods including sausages, minted mushy peas (this is a Nottingham tradition that we didn't mind adopting!!), corn on the cob and potato wedges. Tiffin and Toffee apples were wolfed down by the kids, who for them the toffee apples were a new experience (shhh don't tell the dentist!).
Our nearest event is organised by our local Scout Group, it is a great family night and very well organised. The Beavers make the Guy Fawkes to go on the top of the bonfire, but I no longer see any other children with their home made Guy Fawkes, and not for 20 or so years have I seen any child ask for a "Penny for the Guy Miss?" sitting outside their local pub or shop. Is this due to Trick or Treat becoming ever so popular? With the huge amounts of sweets being collected on Halloween (we have enough to last the whole year!) why would any child go to the effort and expense of making a Guy Fawkes now a days?
In 1603 James I became King. Prior to his reign Queen Elizabeth I had persecuted Catholics across the land, and it was hoped that James I would be more tolerant and give more equal rights to Catholics, especially as his mother had been Catholic. However this did not appear to be the case, and a number of men grouped together and planned the Gun Powder Plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament and kill the King and over throw his parliament on the 5th November 1605. The plot was the most ambitious plot ever made, and consisted of placing 36 barrels of gun powder in a cellar below the Houses of Parliament in London. The plot may have succeeded had it not been for a letter sent from one of the gang, to his friend Lord Monteagle, warning him not to attend the opening of parliament on the 5th November.
Guy Fawkes was caught red handed in the cellar, and was arrested and executed for his part in the plot. Whether Guy Fawkes was the instigator of the whole plot or simply the man set to light the powder, is debated by historians, but one thing that everyone knows, is that he is the most infamous of the Gun Powder Plot Gang. On the very same night, in celebration of the fact that the Houses of Parliament and the King did not fall foal to the plot, bonfires were lit across the country with and without effigies of Guy Fawkes. And every year since 1605 the same tradition has been followed.
In later years fireworks were added as part of the celebration, and they grow bigger and better each and every year.
Well, what ever the history, or the reasons behind the traditions, we love Bonfire Night, the family get together, and the fun we all have. So next year the Little Grippers parents will be encouraging the kids to make their own Guy Fawkes, not to stand on the street asking for money, but just for fun!!
With a darkened lantern and burning match.
So, holler boys, holler boys, Let the bells ring.
Holler boys, holler boys, God save the king.
And what shall we do with him?

Royals for Hire
Windsor Family on Chinese Payroll
The British news media have reported that members of the "royal" Windsor family have been on the payroll of a Hong Kong entrepreneur.
Sarah Ferguson, known as the "Duchess of York", has been paid £375,000 by Dr Johnny Hon. Her job was to "introduce a few people to me in Hong Kong" according to the entrepreneur.
Another family member, Zara Tindall, granddaughter of queen Windsor, took £100,000 for acting as a non-executive director. Her job was to advise on horse racing. She took part in two board meetings a year by telephone.
Ms Tindall seemed to have forgotten about her onerous job. Her lawyers told the Daily Mail that she was not working for Dr Hon. When the newspaper provided documentary evidence they accepted its claim.
Ms Tindall's brother is employed to act as a figurehead for a horse racing club that he and Dr Hon have opened.
Dr Hon is reported to have said that he employed the Windsor family members "because of what they can do for individual projects".

Israelis Resist the Arabs in Their Midst
by Ferry Biedermann Posted on April 28, 2005 August 7, 2009
JERUSALEM – More than four years of violence between Israelis and Palestinians may have abated at least temporarily, but its effect is still being felt on relations between Jews and Arabs inside Israel. A string of recent polls, events and policy issues shows that both popular and official attitudes toward the country's Arab minority remain problematic.
From separate polls, it emerged that more than half of the Jewish population does not wish Arabs to live in their neighborhoods and that many Israelis would like to see the government encourage Arab citizens to leave the country. There has also been an upsurge of racism on football fields.
The Beitar Jerusalem football club was fined earlier this month after its fans shouted "death to the Arabs" among other slogans during a match against the largely Arab club Bnei Sakhnin. This comes in the wake of Bnei Sakhnin's captain Abbas Suan scoring the equalizer against Ireland in a World Cup qualifier. "Abbas Suan doesn't represent us," a Beitar fan had said earlier, echoing the view of most fans.
Arab and Jewish researchers agree there is a high level of antipathy between the two communities, but emphasize different causes. While a prominent Arab Israeli researcher points at the Jewish nature of the state and the inherent bias this has always brought, a Jewish political scientist says that the violence over the past four-and-a-half years has further polarized the communities.
The Arab researcher, Assad Ghanem from the University of Haifa, released a poll earlier this month that had been carried out for the Madar research center in Ramallah. The poll indicated that 42 percent of Israeli Jews want the government to encourage Arab citizens to leave the country. Another 40 percent did not agree.
"I'm fed up," Ghanem told IPS. "I will stop doing this kind of research, always presenting figures that show the same thing."
The other poll, in which it emerged that more than half the Jewish population does not want to live in the same neighborhood as Arabs, was presented to parliament last month on the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
The findings refer to Israel's Arab citizens, not Palestinians in the occupied territories. The Arab minority in Israel are the people who did not flee or were not driven out during the war of 1948/1949 when Israel was founded, and their descendants. They now make up some 1.2 million of Israel's 6.8 million citizens.
They have the vote and are represented in parliament, both by specifically Arab parties and in the major Israeli parties. Very few serve in the army, and their relationship with the Jewish state is ambiguous at best. They feel like second-class citizens, often have strong bonds with Palestinians outside the country, and are regarded by many Israelis as fifth columnists.
Ghanem is disturbed both by what he regards as the prejudices of the general population and by the official attitude of the state. "These attitudes influence each other. The government and the bureaucracy often respond to popular pressures and fears, but the people are also influenced by the attitudes of their politicians from the beginning of the state that have emphasized, among others, the demographic aspects."
The Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) regularly presents demographic projections in which the proportion of Jews to Arabs usually grabs the headlines. Recently the CBS estimated that the ratio of Jews to Arabs would change to 70-30 by 2025, from 80-20 now.
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon also recently admitted that demographic considerations played a role in establishing the route of Israel's controversial separation barrier on the West Bank, to leave as many Palestinians as possible outside it, and to include as many Jews as possible on the Israeli side.
Demographics have lately been cited by Sharon and his supporters as a reason for "disengagement" from the Palestinians, because the population between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean will soon have a Palestinian Arab majority.
The demography issue and the link between Palestinians and Arab Israelis also emerges in the naturalization law that in 2004 specifically banned residents of the West Bank who married Israeli citizens from taking up residence in the country. Since this is almost exclusively aimed at Arab Israelis who marry Palestinians, the UN Human Rights Commission has condemned it as racist.
There was another striking example recently of the official attitude of the state, which according to Ghanem and Arab Israeli rights groups fluctuates between active discrimination and neglect. The Israeli daily Ha'aretz reported last month that a study carried out by the Ministry of Health that mapped the incidence of cancer throughout the country had left out all Arab towns.
The official responsible said this was due to budgetary constraints, because data in Arab municipalities was often not easily accessible, and there was no money to uncover the information.
Arab rights groups regard it as simple discrimination, because the state is equally responsible for both its Jewish and Arab citizens. They have appealed to the Supreme Court to order the Ministry to correct the study.
Yithak Reiter, a political scientist at Hebrew University in Jerusalem who specializes in the Arab minority, agrees that Arab towns and villages are underfunded compared to Jewish municipalities. They receive less for infrastructure, education, and health services.
This is partly because Arabs have traditionally been underrepresented in the bureaucracy that often disburses the funds, according to Reiter.
Recently things have improved, he said, because of late the Arab community has decided to work more within the system. Reiter cited several instances where Arab Israeli politicians had started working more with the political establishment.
Most significantly, though, the new Interior Minister from the moderate Labor party has for the first time appointed an Arab Israeli to the powerful position of general manager of the ministry. The government has made several other appointments that are encouraging.
Assad Ghanem agrees that some progress has been made, but calls it mostly cosmetic. "I do think the appointment at the Ministry of the Interior is significant and it is progress, but in order really to improve things, the state has to change its entire attitude, it has to become a state for all its citizens."

Rossa je obec ve švýcarském kantonu Graubünden, okresu Moesa. Nachází se v údolí řeky Calancasca (Val Calanca), asi 62 kilometrů jihozápadně od kantonálního hlavního města Churu, v nadmořské výšce 1 089 metrů. Má přibližně 150 obyvatel.

Geografie

Obec leží v nadmořské výšce 1 089 metrů v horní části údolí Calanca, na obou březích řeky Calancasca a 30 kilometrů severně od Bellinzony. Z obce Rossa vede přes průsmyk Giümela (2117 m) do osady Fontana v údolí Val Pontirone stezka pro mezky. Sousedními obcemi jsou Mesocco, Soazza a Calanca ve stejném kantonu Graubünden a také Biasca a Serravalle v kantonu Ticino.

Historie
První zmínka o obci pochází z roku 1673 a zhruba do doby reformace patřila k farnosti Santa Maria v údolí Calanca, od té doby tvořila krátce po roce 1673 farnost Santa Domenica. V té době se stala samostatnou farností. Politicky patřila Rossa k markýzství v údolí Calanca až do roku 1866, kdy bylo zrušeno. Mezi 17. a 19. stoletím hledali četní emigranti z údolí Calanca, včetně obce Rossa, obživu jako skláři ve Francii a jako prodejci pryskyřice a smoly v Rakousku nebo Německu. Ještě na počátku 21. století se zde choval dobytek a pěstoval vysokohorský skot, i když v mnohem menší míře než dříve.

Obyvatelstvo

Údolí Val Calanca je jednou z italsky mluvících oblastí kantonu Graubünden. Převážná většina obyvatel obce tak hovoří italsky.

Doprava
Rossa leží na samém konci údolí Calanca, proto zde také končí okresní silnice, vedoucí z obce Grono. Ta je jediným spojením obce s okolním světem. Nejbližší železniční stanice se nachází v Bellinzoně.

Disclaimer: I am not being compensated in any way to write this review. This review is designed to serve as a brief summary of the book, to inform, and to encourage readers to pursue the topic further.
The Emotional Life of the Toddler describes just what the title promises. This book offers a sensitive and in-depth look at toddlerhood, with the aim of helping parents gain awareness and skills for dealing with this age group. This book is informative and well researched, yet easy to read and highly palatable. You can leaf through it to the relevant parts, or read through the whole thing without it sucking up too much of your valuable time. Although The Emotional Life of the Toddler is dated (published in 1993), it is still relevant to today's parents.
Dr. Lieberman's body of knowledge surrounding toddler emotions is thorough, and her tone is empathetic and respectful (likely because she has research and clinical experience in infant mental health and early childhood trauma). The result is a book that is particularly relevant to anyone interested in Attachment Parenting or other type of gentle parenting style. Regardless of parenting style, The Emotional Life of the Toddler is relevant for any family with a toddler. The book offers sound advice and a solid foundation for understanding and relating to a very young child.
Three of the chapters are devoted to temperament, or personality types, among toddlers. I found these sections revealing as well as humorous. The author's intimate knowledge of each temperament allows the reader to feel connected and understood.
In addition to straightforward descriptions, Lieberman uses a series of brief case studies to illustrate some of her points. I found these vignettes helpful, but with limitations. Some case studies serve as excellent examples, while others seemed too idiosyncratic to be generally applicable. Still, I enjoyed reading them and learning about the complexities of toddler emotions.
Another odd aspect of the book is that the author devoted an entire chapter to divorce. While this is a topic that affects many of us, and it certainly affects toddlers, this chapter felt a bit out of place in this book. I would have rather seen a chapter devoted to a more general discussion of tension in the home or fights between parents, with divorce included in the discussion.
Nonetheless, The Emotional Life of the Toddler is an indispensable addition to any parents' library. Overall, I loved this book and I highly recommend it to anyone with a toddler or infant approaching toddlerhood. Two thumbs up!
· The hallmark of toddlerhood is the dichotomy between independence and dependence. The toddler continually seeks a balance between exploration of the world and a safe, loving connection to parents.
· A secure base from the parent supplies the physical and emotional scaffolding upon which the toddler develops confidence to explore the world and grow into his own separate person. The most effective secure base provides love, affection, protection, and respect for the toddler as an individual. A sound secure base also allows the toddler to explore the external and internal world of emotions.
· Toddlers have intense, vivid, and very real emotions that are hard for them to express and cope with. How toddlers are treated in response to their emotions impart lifelong lessons in how to manage those feelings.
· Problems between parent and toddler commonly arise due to disagreements over what is safe (exploration) and what is an appropriate level of connection (emotional or physical).
· Problems are best resolved (and prevented) through development of a partnership between parent and toddler. A goal-directed partnership is useful in finding compromise and meeting the needs of both parent and child. For example, picking up the toys together is a way to engage in a goal-directed partnership.
· Exercising benevolent authority, rather than using shame or fear, is an effective way to ensure toddler compliance. (Read this and this for more information and for examples of how to gain toddler compliance and manage defiance).
· Sensitivity to the child's feelings and needs, helping the toddler find words to describe feelings, as well as being silent when words aren't enough, are powerful ways to encourage the partnership. (Read this for suggestions on how to effectively speak to a toddler).
· Parents' anger and frustration over the toddler need not destroy the partnership or disrupt the secure base. Toddlers learn that intense emotions are acceptable and tolerable. When they see their parents recover from outbursts, followed by an apology and explanation, the partnership is restored.
· There are 4 general toddler temperaments: Easy, Slow To Warm Up ("shy"), Active, and Difficult (very rare). Temperaments are not permanent or immutable. A child may exhibit signs of more than one temperament which may change over time. A child may not necessarily retain the same temperament throughout childhood.
· Each temperament will respond differently to different parenting styles so it's important to understand and work with a toddler's individual personality.
· "Active" toddlers need a physically safe environment with only a few clear, consistent boundaries. Thorough baby-proofing and the parents' level of energy and patience are main concerns.
· "Slow to Warm Up" toddlers need time and space to acclimate to new people and environments. Providing support for the child's pace of adaptation is a central concern for parents.
· Problems may arise when the parent either doesn't understand or feels uncomfortable with their child's temperament. For example, an outgoing parent may pressure a shy child to interact with others before he is ready. A fearful parent may struggle to give an active toddler enough freedom to roam.
· Toddlers have immature cognitive development. Fears and anxieties usually arise because they make incorrect conclusions about reality. Issues related to permanence (objects, people, body parts, etc.) are common sources of toddler fears. Operating from a secure base, parents can help toddlers learn what threats are real in order to alleviate anxiety. Minimizing or ignoring fears, or using ridicule and blame will aggravate those anxieties and strain the parent-toddler relationship.
· Play is an important and powerful way for toddlers to work through their fears and anxieties.
· Toddlers enjoy "messy" play as an avenue for exploring their newly discovered bodily secretions (urine, feces, mucus, blood, saliva, etc.). Finger paints, play-dough, water, dirt and the like all serve as valuable representations for this phase of discovery (and they're easier to clean than poop on the wall!).
· Conflicts between parents don't have to disrupt the secure base for a toddler as long as both parents put the needs of the child ahead of their interpersonal issues.
· Quality child care may be provided by someone besides the toddler's parents. Factors that influence the quality of childcare include: stability of care, caregiver training, adult-child ratio, group size, and the presence of another adult.
· Toddlerhood shares some features in common with adolescence. With an established secure base, an attitude of partnership, and a habit of parent-child communication, parents of toddlers are likely to build effective skills that can be used when similar issues arise again ten or so years later.


Have you ever wished that you could make your own pizza with all your favorite toppings on it or even bake a cake for your loved ones on special occasions? If you answer 'yes', then a gas burnout oven is the solution to it. You will not only save time and money but also able to devour and share great homemade baked food together with your family and friends. On the other hand, you will be able to polish your creative skills into cracking up with different types of new baked food with your own home oven. It will be a great way to be able to save on the car fuel and to have more time to yourself other than doing your part for the environment. The following article explains how to build a gas burnout oven that you can use to bake in the comfort of your own home. It is fun and worth all the effort.
First and foremost, you will need to check what types of permits are required for operating your own gas burnout oven. Then, locate a spacious place to place the oven, preferably close to an outside wall. You will need to construct a concrete pas of 4" deep by using forms and rebar.
When the pad is level, slowly lay out the four corners of the oven and place anchor bolts into the pad to hold it down. It is advisable to obtain a readymade oven box to save on the time needed to construct one on your own. Do take extra care when handling the wiring for the oven. Therefore, if possible get a licensed electrician over to install and wire the natural gas heater, air injection system, venting fans, shut off and thermostat units.
After that, you have to attach the heat resistant fabric to the already welded steel clips. In the mean time, line the floors and walls with cut heat bricks where they are needed for equipment only. Lay flat steel across the top as roof bricks after the lining of the final row of bricks is done.
Lastly, the most important key note is to create a ventilation hole in the building of the wall for installation of vent ducting. Finally, you can test out the oven by slowly bringing the oven to full temperature. Do allow some time for break-in before trying out a full cycle.
Building a gas burnout oven is not that difficult with minor assistance from an experienced electrician. These are some of the ways on how to build a gas burnout oven. Give yourself a try out today to enjoy the sweetness of home cooked food.

Save time and money. We compare the offers of car rental companies in Agrigento on your behalf.
EasyTerra Car Rental Agrigento is an independent car rental comparison site. Our system compares prices from well-known car rental companies so as a customer you can always reserve your rental car through us at a competitive rate.
Agrigento is the capital of the province of the same name on the Italian island of Sicily. It's an ancient city, founded by the Greek in 581 BC. In 406 BC Agrigento was attacked by the Carthaginians who caused havoc. In the Valle dei Templi, some temples have been preserved which form the city's largest tourist attraction.
The city has over 60,000 inhabitants.
Agrigento is located on Sicily's south coast, over 70 kilometers southwest of Caltanissetta and almost 200 kilometers west of Catania.
Because of the archeological places of interest, Agrigento is an important tourist center on Sicily. It's also a center for agricultural produce from the surrounding area: citrus fruit, olives, almonds and (wine) grapes. Still, Agrigento is a poor city, one of the poorest in Italy with a high percentage of unemployment.
Aeroporto di Catania-Fontanarossa (or Catania International Airport) is the easiest airport on Sicily to reach Agrigento. From the airport you first follow in your rental car the freeway to Palermo, then turn southwest at Caltanissetta and drive to Agrigento via the SS-640.
For years there have been plans to build an airport closer to Agrigento, but there's a lot of resistance from conservationists and Catania Airport which fears losing customers.
The central bus station is located near the train station. Buses run to the Archeological Museum and further downhill to the entrance of the Valle dei Templi. There are also ferry connections from the nearby Porto Empedocle to the islands of Lampedusa and Linosa.
The narrow medieval streets in Agrigento's center are unsuitable to explore by rental car. It's better to park your car at a guarded parking lot around the center. Never leave your rental car unattended! Also bear in mind that the roads inland can be narrow and winding and sometimes unpaved.
There's a reasonable choice of accommodations in Agrigento ranging from basic guesthouses to luxurious hotels. The latter can be found in the city's historical center and near the Valle dei Templi.
