Blue Ribbon to diversify into beverages

Grain milling company, Blue Ribbon Foods Limited says it is working on diversifying into beverages manufacturing, as investor confidence in the country continues to grow.
The project is expected to create an estimated 1 000 jobs across value chains.
Speaking after a tour of the firm's maize and wheat plant in Harare yesterday, Blue Ribbon chief executive Mounir Bakhresa said his company was impressed by Government's commitment towards revival of the manufacturing sector.
Without giving finer details on the beverages venture, Mr Bakhresa said his firm would take advantage of the current momentum to grow its business and revive its various operations.
"As directors of Bakhresa, we have agreed to immediately invest in a massive beverage business in Zimbabwe and as you are aware, we have since reached out to your ministry appealing for allocation of land for this initiative.
"Once we get the green light from the Government, we expect to set up the beverage plant before the year end and start operations soon after. This project will generate 1000 jobs and it should enable us to export a significant portion of our production," he said.
In 2013, the local unit's Tanzanian parent firm, Bakhresa Holdings, won the bid to take over Blue Ribbon after it had closed owing to viability challenges, which resulted in the grain miller being placed under judiciary management.
As such, the Bakhresa Group has been instrumental in the revival of Blue Ribbon with a $21,5 million capital injection into the milling company over the last three years.
The capital injection has resulted in the creation of 300 new direct jobs at Blue Ribbon and plans are underway to revive other strategic business units that had seized operations.
Since Bakhresa Holdings' takeover of Blue Ribbon, mills and plants have been revived while efforts are being made towards growing export markets.
The firm is currently working on installing a new $2 million maize and wheat milling plant acquired from Turkey, which should be commissioned mid year.
Industry, Commerce and Enterprise Development Minister Dr Mike Bimha said such investment was testimony of the regional firm's commitment towards Zimbabwe's industry, which he said was a commendable development.
"My Ministry is intrigued in the level of commitment that has been shown by Bhakresa Holdings. This commendable effort is clear testimony that you mean business and you are here for business," he said.
On completion, the new state of the art milling plant, is expected to boost production capacity and enhance efficiency for Blue Ribbon across the entire wheat and maize value chains.
Dr Bimha said the new investment was in line with Government's thrust on value addition and beneficiation as enunciated in the economic blue print, the Zim-Asset.
As such, Government would continue working on creating a level play field for investors and private sector growth through various policy interventions.
"These interventions are aimed at providing the manufacturing companies with reprieve and enhance our competitiveness mainly through technological advancement and ring fencing against unfair competition," he said.
Grain Millers Association of Zimbabwe chairman Tafadzwa Musarara said the investment was a step in the right direction, not only for Blue Ribbon alone but the whole sector as this was expected to boost production efficiencies.
He indicated that the sector had for long suffered due to antiquated machinery whose age was estimated at around 17 years.
Blue Ribbon's Nutresco Foods production has reopened its Mahewu plant for production which the company is currently producing for retail, wholesale and some mining concerns.
The arrangement is reportedly going on well, with maximum production of flour being achieved most of the time since the firm reopened.
Bhakresa group has various other investments that it intends to roll out, which include the resuscitation of other currently non-operational business units like Aroma and JA Mitchelle bakeries, which were under the former Blue Ribbon Industries flagship.
However, foreign currency remains a big challenge being faced with regard to the new plant and machinery, which need to be fully paid for before final shipment. Non-payment will result in the negation by supplier to release the other consignments of the wheat mill.
Bhakresa has operations also has operations in Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Seychelles, Kenya, Malawi and Mozambique.

Still Waiting for A better LASIK Technology !
Should I wait until the technology is better to have LASIK?
This question seems to pop up in the mind of everyone considering LASIK eye surgery. And I'm sure that you've thought about it.
If you want a simple and straight answer, I will tell you that you could wait!
Simply because LASIK eye surgery is an elective procedure and you can wait for a more advanced LASIK technology.
But before you stop reading, I want you to think about what you will miss out if you keep postponing your LASIK procedure (i.e. enjoying the freedom from eyeglasses and contact lenses as you wait). You should also keep in mind that the LASIK technology will continue to improve and you could continue to wait the rest of your life without ever having the procedure.
So the important question is whether the technological advances in LASIK eye surgery means an increase in quality of vision, chance of success or patient satisfaction after LASIK.
It is unlikely that for most patients there will be a noticeable difference if they choose to wait. In many cases, time spent waiting for the technological improvements also means less time to potentially benefit from the refractive surgery.
On the other hand, a few patients should wait for more advanced LASIK technologies and your doctor will tell you whether you fall into this group.
LASIK is safe and good enough to have the procedure now. So if you are an ideal LASIK candidate today, there is no need to wait. Future LASIK advances will allow those who are not good LASIK candidates today to undergo the LASIK procedure successfully.
The lasik surgery lasik is a very important surgery and it has so many instructions that we need to follow and with out knowing any thing about lasik procedures,it will be little bit difficult for us.First of all we need to know the information about the cost details,procedures,complications and problems,side effects and the other things which is really very important.
Lasik surgery also corrects irregularities in the cornea's shape, so light rays can focus properly on the retina and improve blurry vision.

Welcome to my Web page. I am a pediatrician at the Stockdale Medical Offices. I hope you will find helpful information in choosing a pediatrician for your child.
I was born in Russia into a family of many doctors. I completed my medical degree and started practicing pediatrics near Moscow. After the Soviet Union disintegrated, my family found our new home in America. I completed my residency program at the White Memorial Medical Center in Los Angeles, where I worked as the chief resident. Afterwards, I joined Kaiser Permanente in Bakersfield as an urgent care pediatrician and later on as a primary care pediatrician. I'm married and have two daughters.
Each child is special and unique, so I work hard to have a personal approach with each child and each family. My goal is to help with a speedy recovery and also educate parents on different aspects of their children's health, prevention of illness, and to support healthy life choices for the whole family. In addition to my pediatric work, I also serve as an advocate for children's safety. I work on child abuse awareness among pediatricians and other medical providers. Children are our future and that is why child health and safety are my goals.
I balance my busy schedule with fun and healthy activities like walking, hiking, swimming, gardening, or playing tennis.

Dolphins, Jets motivated to finish dismal seasons strong
By DENNIS WASZAK Jr.
AP Pro Football Writer
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Miami Dolphins are in a much different spot than they were the last time they faced the New York Jets.
"We're really trying to find ourselves and improve, and we've only won three games this year, so there's a lot of things internally that we're just trying to focus on and fix and get better at," Fitzpatrick said. "Some of those questions and then historically and in the past, some things that have happened, that is not really our focus right now. We're kind of hyper-focused on the now and getting ourselves better."
The Dolphins have plenty of motivation in the season's final month, even though they've been out of the playoff race for weeks, and each win hurts their chances of landing a franchise quarterback in next year's draft.
"It just shows that we can compete with anybody and we can beat really good teams,�� first-round draft pick Christian Wilkins said. "We will keep building. I know that this might not be the season that we wanted, or the fans wanted, but winning gives us a little extra sense of motivation."
"It's frustrating, obviously," running back Le'Veon Bell said, "but we have to find a way to get better."
"I think, for us, it was too many penalties," Darnold said. "For me, I have to hit my guys, I have to be more accurate. I felt like we couldn't get into a rhythm and it hurt us. ... We didn't come out flat, that wasn't an issue for us. It was really just a matter of executing, which was the issue."
Fitzpatrick said despite the Dolphins' record, his first season in Miami has been a positive experience.
"I feel like I'm better now than I've ever been," said Fitzpatrick, who turned 37 last month. "In terms of what I'm doing and my focus and preparation and going out there with the group I have, my confidence is at an all-time high in terms of all that stuff."
The Dolphins still rank last in the NFL in yards per play. But lately, when they do get a chance to score, they're taking advantage.
Miami is third in the league with a red zone touchdown conversion rate of 68%. In the first four games, the Dolphins were at 17%. Since Week 6, they're at 80%, which ranks first in the league during that span.
"It's practice and execution, and players making plays in those situations," coach Brian Flores said. "Look, in the red zone in this league, the field is condensed so you have to make good throws, you have to make good catches in tight coverage. Players have to go up and make plays. We've had that."

There won't be renewed efforts to tackle debt drivers until next year at the earliest. | AP Photos
D.C.'s attention-to-deficits disorder
By JAKE SHERMAN and CARRIE BUDOFF BROWN
Washington is done dwelling on the debt.
Fatigued by a government shutdown and repeated failures to reach a grand bargain, leaders from both parties have moved on.
President Barack Obama isn't expected to spend much time on deficit reduction and entitlement reform during Tuesday's State of the Union address, instead focusing on issues such as economic inequality and raising the minimum wage that will be the centerpiece of his 2014 agenda.
Republicans don't want to divert attention from Obamacare and plan to demand changes in the health care law, not spending cuts, in exchange for a debt-limit increase next month. They dismiss grand bargain talks with Obama as fruitless.
( Also on POLITICO: Candidates of both parties run vs. NSA)
For Obama, the shifting political landscape is a chance to move past an issue that some Democrats see as a political loser headed into the midterms — the president even complained to Senate Democrats this month that he doesn't get enough credit for previous deficit cuts.
Republicans see an opportunity to redefine themselves as a party that has an agenda beyond budget cuts. They say they will now focus on "kitchen-table" issues like increasing take-home pay, creating new incentives for school vouchers and charter schools, and some form of immigration reform.
Not that the $17 trillion debt is going away anytime soon. The debt as a share of the economy is projected to decline over the next few years, and the deficit has dropped at the fastest rate since World War II — a point that Obama repeats often these days. The brightened outlook will last only a few years before an aging population and rising health care costs force deficits to balloon over the next decade. But the temporary cease-fire in the budget wars and an improvement in the fiscal picture have diminished any lingering sense of urgency for Washington to act on a large-scale deal.
That means there won't be renewed efforts to tackle the real drivers of the debt until next year at the earliest, but likely not until after the 2016 presidential election.
( Also on POLITICO: War on inequality … may take awhile)
"Neither party wants to talk about it," said Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. "This is the first time we have been staring into the political horizon and there is no action-forcing moment."
House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), whose ascension in 2011 was fueled by small-government conservative activists, has all but ruled out any further deficit reduction talks with Obama because they can't move past a basic disagreement on taxes. They also insist Obama has shifted his demands too often.
In next month's fight to raise the debt ceiling, Boehner is not expected to renew his demand to cut spending by an equal amount — a principle that pushed Obama into extended, unsuccessful talks with the speaker in 2011. Instead, Republicans are zeroing in on Obamacare, and are likely to insist on some kind of fix in exchange for increasing the country's borrowing authority.
White House aides said Obama stands by his last offer to Boehner in December 2012, which included Medicare cuts that infuriated Democrats. But the president believes he's reached the end of the line with Republicans on this issue, aides said, and has reoriented his White House toward fighting income inequality.
"The president has repeatedly demonstrated his willingness to compromise with Republicans to reduce the deficit," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said. "In fact, the deficit has been cut in half since he took office five years ago. That improvement in our deficit picture means we have more room to put in place, in a fiscally responsible way, policies that will expand opportunity for all Americans."
( PHOTOS: 12 things less popular than Congress)
For Democratic lawmakers, many of whom never bought into Obama's focus on debt and deficit reduction, the move away from austerity couldn't have come soon enough.
"It is amazing how it has faded as an issue except among a small group," said Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), the No. 3 leader. "The reason is, first, we have made big progress and, second, it has become apparent that it is not on the average person's mind."
Obama moves on
Obama's rhetoric over the past year underscores the shift.
The president gave the budget top billing in last year's State of the Union address, turning to it immediately after detailing the general themes of the speech. The White House and Congress had agreed to $2.5 trillion in spending cuts and tax hikes over the past few years, he told lawmakers, putting them more than halfway toward the goal of $4 trillion to stabilize the country's finances.
"Now we need to finish the job. And the question is, how?" Obama said as he renewed calls for tax and entitlement reform.
Although he pushed for a repeal of across-the-board spending cuts known as the sequester, they kicked in last March, locking in budget savings that allowed Obama to tout several months later that the deficit was on a rapid decline.
"It's now dropped at the fastest rate in 60 years," Obama said at an August town hall in Birmingham, N.Y., as he called for only "some modifications" to entitlement programs. "I want to repeat that, because a lot of people think that — if you ask the average person what's happening with the deficit, they'd tell you it's going up. The deficit has been cut in half since 2009 and is on a downward trajectory. And it's gone down faster than any time since World War II."

Na minha opinião é um produto incrível. Quando sinto nódulos a aparecer no meu rosto, aplico e no dia seguinte já sinto uma diferença enorme. Em duas noites no máximo consigo que desapareçam.
It's really good and easy to use.
This is a fantastic product, which I have tried from a sample I was given in my local pharmacy. I used it once and immediately the effects could be seen the following day. What I really loved about this paste is that it doesn't budge while you sleep overnight, so you aren't left with smeared product over your pillow the next day and yet it comes off easily with a warm cloth. I am super impressed with this and would definitely say it should be a staple in every bathroom cabinet!
I love this product! It worked so well and I just want to buy more. My friend introduced it to me who lives in Paris and I am so happy she did! It takes away all my pimples. It is amazing! Everyone must get it!

Gleniff Horseshoe
Joy Davis
The Gleniff Horseshoe is not a horseshoe at all but a six-mile loop of single lane road surrounded by spectacular mountain views. It is an hour's motoring tour par excellence and not without connections to myth and legend as well as a sprinkling of what can only be described as cynical humour.
Getting there is easy. Just drive north from Sligo on N15 to Cliffoney (22km). From Cliffoney, continue north 2km to the first crossroads. Turn right as the sign indicates for a straight shot of 6km. Now, you're primed for formidable masses of rock in the form of precipitous cliffs that have been in place for thousands of years. And it doesn't matter which way you go around the loop. Like many, you may have the urge to do it both ways. You'll see more if you do. Either way, you feel not just see the presence of the giants: Tieve Baun, Trushmore, King's, Benbulben, Benwiskin (the bar at the Radisson, Rosses Point, borrows its name from the latter).
Clockwise, Benbulben will be on your right just past the halfway point. High up toward the summit, over 1,000 feet, you'll see the ominous dark opening of the cave known as Kesh Corran, the home of the ill-fated lovers, Diarmad and Grainne. How her aged husband ever found them without signposts and a paved road needs no explanation in legend. Needless to say, he did and then cleverly arranged for Diarmad's death to look like a hunting accident. Some think the high ridge of Benbulben looks like the spine of a boar, the one that possibly gored Diarmad. If you're from Arkansas, you'd call it a razorback. If you're an inveterate hiker, known locally as a hill walker, you'll be discouraged...but not by a boar. By a bull.
Hiking access is severely restricted by Mr. "Bull" McSharry. But the inviting magic of these highlands is easily accessed from your car. If you tour the loop counter clockwise, you won't see the signs that The Bull has gone to such lengths to post until the later third of the tour, but they are as amusing as they are serious. The Bull is a codger with class. One of his signs reads, "As Yeats himself might say, maybe you should arise and go...NOW!" But the road is paved and public. Continue on your way. His fight isn't with hillwalkers as much as with Tourism Ireland. The Bull just wants to be compensated for the few hardy souls who might do what the majority of us only dream of: walking the spine of the boar, with Sligo and Leitrim and the vast Atlantic spread out before and beneath. One of the signs sums up his fight. "The tourism industry may ride the Ryder Cup, but not the Bull McSharry."
Who would want to when the loop is a free and safe ride open to all. Benbulben, Benwiskin, and the other giants say, "Welcome."

The Taiwan cohort is a community-based prospective study involving seven townships in Taiwan established in 1991-1992. Approximately 23,820 residents aged 30-65 years were enrolled and they completed structured questionnaire carried out by well-trained public health nurses to obtain sociodemographic characteristics, personal and family history of diseases, dietary intake, and cigarette and alcohol consumption. Participants also had health examinations including abdominal ultrasound, and blood collection for HBsAg, HBeAg, antibodies against hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV), and serum levels of ALT, AST, and α-fetoprotein (AFP). Subjects who had HBsAg or anti-HCV, an elevated serum level of ALT, AST or AFP, or family history of hepatocellular carcinoma were followed routinely and had serial abdominal ultrasound and blood tests until June 30th, 2004. The wealth of information from this cohort has been used in many important studies on hepatitis B and C. We are collaborating with Prof. Chen to examine the interaction between various risk factors and their joint association with the risk of liver cancer.

For the week of December 5, a very unique and fantastic product hits the private label market, developed by the supremely talented Justin Popovic and Ted Payne.
An infographic is an image you can publish on a blog, sales page, information page, ebook, social profile or anywhere else you want to gain some attention.
The images are usually much larger than the average image you see on a website but that is for a good reason. Infographics are simply a graphical way of explaining and summarizing a complex topic.


Jennifer and I arrived into Denver this afternoon for the annual convention of the National Puzzlers' League. We missed a picnic hosted by Mike Selinker (or at least he provided the entertainment). I don't know exactly what the entertainment consisted of, but I know that it was based loosely on a game of his, Link 26.
Once we got to the hotel, we saw most of the usual suspects lurking in the hotel lobby or elsewhere in or near the hotel. We wandered into the League's hospitality suite, and Jennifer played a brilliant game that was designed by Darren Rigby called Lexagon. I'll let those who have actually played it fill in the fine details, but the short version is that you're given a set of hexagonal tiles that you sorta play onto the playing area domino style where instead of matching numbers, you have to name a word that matches all of the properties described by all of the tiles that are adjacent to your current play.
The last League-member invention that I saw this evening was a really slick laser-etched tile set for Roy Leban's Scrabble-ish game "WIM".
After all of that, Jennifer and I and several other League members went downstairs to the Inverness Hotel's Spotted Dog pub for some food and drink.

Q: My first database connection I've bought a domain-hosting from a local company. Their customer service is pretty horrible.
My code for connecting to the database seems ok but still its not working. Here my code:
function __construct(){
    if(!@mysql_ping()){
        $this->db_connect();
    }
    $sql  = "SELECT value FROM settings WHERE field =  'auto_logout'";
    $res  = mysql_fetch_array($this->execute_single_query($sql));
    $this->LOGIN_DURATION = $res['value'];
}

private function db_connect(){
    // Mysql connect
    $link = @mysql_connect('localhost', 'created_who_has_all_prev', 'pass_note_my_cpanel_and_mysql_has_same_pass');

    if (!$link) {
        die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
    }
    //echo 'Connected successfully
';
    // Mysql select db select --->
    $db_selected = mysql_select_db($this->DB, $link);
    if (!$db_selected) {
        die ('Can\'t use specified Database : ' . mysql_error());
    }
    //echo "
Database Selected
";
    return $link;
}

And this is the snapshot:

A: This is really sloppy code. I would use PDO as it is secure. Below is a class you can use but study how it works and why it works.
class Core {

    public $dbh; // handle of the db connection
    private static $instance;

    private function __construct()  {

        $options = array(PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT => true, PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);

        $this->dbh = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=dealership", "root", "",$options);

    }

    public static function getInstance() {
        if (!self::$instance) {

        self::$instance = new self();

    }
    return self::$instance;
    }

    private function __clone() {}
    private function __wakeup() {}

}

In your code call it like below:
require "/classes/pdo.class.php";

 $db = Core::getInstance();

 $stmt = "SELECT `lastname` FROM `employees` where id = 2";

 $pep = $db->dbh->prepare($stmt);
 $pep->execute();

 foreach($pep->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC) as $row) {

     echo $row['lastname']. "\n";
  }

Make sure you look into PDO, prepared statments, and singleton pattern to understand why it works.

A: Your main problem is that the link that you create isn't accessible. So, PHP tries to connect with defaults (apparently in your setup it means the user is root) and since it has no password, the connection fails which is the cause of most of your warning messages.
The last warning is a consequence of the others.
To fix this problem - as you haven't provided details of the actual parts that are executing the query - here is how to re-write your code so it works:
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "user", "password", "database");
if ($mysqli->connect_errno) {
    echo "(".$mysqli->connect_errno.") ".$mysqli->connect_error;
}

$sql = "SELECT `value` FROM `settings` WHERE `field` = ?";
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare($sql);
$stmt->bind_param("s","auto_logout");

if (!$stmt->execute()) {
    echo "(".$stmt->errno.") ".$stmt->error;
}

$res = $stmt->get_result();
$row = $res->fetch_assoc();
LOGIN_DURATION = $row['field'];

Abstract: This study investigates organic consumers' preferences for local production of apples. The analysis is based on a choice experiment among 637 Danish consumers used in combination with a principal component analysis of a set of opinion questions. The principal component analysis identifies two components of questions. Component 1 concerns benefits related to organic products while component 2 relates to positive features of locally produced products. When the components are included in analysis of data from the choice experiment a random parameter error component model suggests that respondents who recognize the benefits of organic products have relatively high preferences for both organically and locally produced apples. Respondents who, on the other hand, recognize the benefits of locally produced products have high preferences for domestically and locally produced apples but not for organic apples.

You've heard the Kindle success stories. The ones where the unknown, brilliant author self-published her amazing book and is now an international best-selling author?
As a writer, it's that kind of success that's motivating you to pursue a writing career. No need to hound publishers, only to hear their harsh rejection. Anyone can be a successful self-published author on Amazon.
Unfortunately, everyone else thinks so too.
There is no doubt that Amazon changed the publishing world. The self-publishing paradigm shift has given authors chances they never dreamed about. However, it's also created somewhat unrealistic expectations, misleading perceptions, and a huge amount of competition.
You have a dream of becoming a full time writer. Your focus has been on writing the perfect book, not necessarily on how to sell your masterpiece. Creating an online business wasn't really your intention. But being an independent writer makes you a business person, even if reluctantly. The key is to consider different strategies and choose the one that works for you.
Amazon is a great option, but it's not the only option. If you're an author who already has an audience, growing social media presence, and an existing website, you should consider adding a direct sales option. It allows you to reduce your direct competition, promote your book creatively, and build your unique brand.
Amazon's currently selling well over 3 million Kindle books, with new books added every day. Competition is extremely fierce, as you have to compete with hundreds of thousands of books.
If you don't have thousands to invest in an expert publishing team, you need to find ways to reduce competition and leverage your existing audience to increase your overall sales.
Jumping into eCommerce can be overwhelming. But if you're a writer who already has experience creating a website, there are some easy eCommerce options. Selz is a simple eCommerce option that allows users to sell their books from any page on their website. They handle the hosting and downloading of your eBook, and you can also create your own online store. Easy Digital Download is another option if you have a WordPress-based website. It takes a little more time to set up than Selz, but like Selz, it handles the checkout process and automated book delivery.
Popular author Deborah Cooke sells her books both on Amazon and direct from her website using Selz. Cooke offers free and promotional downloads from her website, and sends buyers a Kindle/Mobi file so they can read her books on their Kindle.
Joanna Penn, bestselling author of the ARKANE Series,says authors shouldn't be exclusive to Amazon and should have multiple streams of income. One of the biggest reasons is any independent author shouldn't be dependent on any single income stream. You're completely out of luck if something happens to disrupt your business (remember the recession?). Plus, if you have multiple books to sell, you can always try different selling strategies.
Penn also stresses that "I've talked before about not building your business on anyone else's platform, because they can take it away from you anytime. The same can happen with Amazon." Instead of putting all your eggs in one basket, create print, eBooks, audio books, and a merchandise line. This is your business, and you shouldn't rely on one platform (that you don't own) for all your sales, promotions and profits.
Let's face it. Amazon is only trying to sell books, not specifically your book. They don't care who's book customers buy, as long as they make a sale.
Everything about Amazon is designed to make the buyer spend more money. Every person that looks at the Amazon website sees different products. The results on the Amazon homepage are tailored to your past searches and buying history. From "Inspired By Your Browsing History" to "Related to Items You've Viewed", Amazon tries to deliver exactly what you are most likely to buy.
Anne Bogel, from Modern Mrs. Darcy, is the author of How She Does It: An everywoman's guide to breaking old rules, getting creative, and making time for work in your actual, everyday life. She has a dedicated page for her book on her website, and sends readers to Amazon to buy her book. Once there, potential buyers are shown the "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought" selection. In this case, Amazon is suggesting seven other authors.
You want to limit the alternatives your potential buyers see. You want to keep all potential buyers focused on your site, books and blog/articles. As you already have an author's website, adding a direct sales option helps you build your unique brand. It's a way for you to control what your readers see, and reduce the possibility that they'll like someone else's book better.
There are lots of ways to make your eBook a success. Maybe selling on Amazon is the most popular, but adding another eBook to the Kindle library is just one way. It's not the only way.
Writers don't need to limit their writing to one genre or topic. That's the beauty of writing. You can do anything, and go anywhere. As a writer entrepreneur, with wondrous new technologies that change all the time, you can also create a limitless business.
If you have a growing online platform, consider adding a direct sales option. Adding a direct option is easy, allows you to create unique promotions, and reduces any potential competition. Adding a direct sales option creates a new profit stream and helps your business grow. You can still use Amazon, but you don't have to put limits on yourself or your business.

Where does all mass come from?Interactions with the Higgs field are not just reserved for force-carrying particles. The theory can also explain how all other fundamental particles – such as the electron, or quarks inside protons and neutrons – acquire their rest mass. Composite particles however, such as the protons and neutrons themselves, gain mass mainly through the binding energy holding them together.

Norman was recommended to us as a wedding photographer, by a family friend who had employed Norman as a photographer for their own wedding.
We met up with Norman last year to discuss the possibility of him photographing our special day. Picking a wedding photographer is not easy. You have to not only feel comfortable with the photographer, but also trust that they are talented enough to capture the 'feel' of your wedding. We were convinced Norman was the photographer for us, and were delighted when he agreed to capture our wedding.
Before the wedding,he took it upon himself (in his own free time and without charge) to drive to the locations where the wedding would be held including the hotel, the church and the reception venue. He did this to investigate the local photography rules, check out the lighting and find good places for photos. We felt this showed real dedication on his part.
On the wedding day itself, Norman was incredibly organised, getting all of the important photographs (and all of the special shots we requested). I'm sure everyone had been to weddings, where the increasingly stressed photographer ends up coming across as rude or bad tempered, but this was not the case with Norman at all. He was kind, relaxed and charmed all of our guests. Everyone was very comfortable being photographed by him.
Norman edited our photos very quickly, and tailored his package to meet our requirements. We received all of our wedding images (fully edited) just 10 days after our wedding.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Norman for everything he did to make our day so special. We now have a beautiful set of photographs, to remember our wedding day.
We would not hesitate to recommend Norman to anyone.

Antis Roofing and American Family Housing Join Forces to Address Local Homelessness
KEYWORDS AFH / American Family Housing / Antis Roofing & Waterproofing / Homelessness / partnership
IRVINE, Calif. — Antis Roofing & Waterproofing recently announced a collaborative roofing project with partner, American Family Housing (AFH). AFH is a nonprofit organization based in Orange County, dedicated to permanently ending the cycle of homelessness by providing a continuum housing and necessary services to homeless and low-income families. For over 30 years, AFH has forged alliances with community partners to help combat the issue of homelessness.
As part of its mutual commitment to provide community partners addressing housing issues with skills-based support, Antis Roofing & Waterproofing will work with AFH and other corporate partners on Sept. 18, 2017 to repair the roof of the Van Buren Property, located at 15272 Van Buren Street in Midway City. This project would not be possible without the generous donations of time, money and resources of our partners on this build.
"Our team and partners have put words into action, by making good on the promise to support American Family Housing with this important project," said Charles Antis, CEO of Antis Roofing & Waterproofing. "I committed to this project a year ago, knowing that we had the team, resources and ability to make this a reality. American Family Housing is impacting the lives of many people, and this project is one way we can thank them for the work they do."
"From our family to yours, IB Roof Systems is proud to support the American Family Housing Project in bringing families homes of their own," said Jason Stanley, chief executive officer, IB Roof Systems.

Platinum anti-cancer drugs
Platinum has the ability, in certain chemical forms, to inhibit the division of living cells. The discovery of this property in 1962 led to the development of platinum-based drugs to treat a wide range of cancers. Cisplatin, the first platinum anti-cancer drug, began to be used in treatment in 1977. Testicular cancer was found to be susceptible to treatment with cisplatin and there were other successes with ovarian, head and neck cancers.
Researchers at the Institute of Cancer Research and the Royal Marsden Hospital in London achieved a significant step when they found a compound similar to cisplatin in terms of activity, but much less toxic. This drug, carboplatin, was first approved in 1986. Recent research has sought to identify new platinum compounds which will treat tumours which do not respond to or which become resistant to cisplatin and carboplatin. The first of these drugs to reach commercialization is oxaliplatin, which is being marketed under the trade name Eloxatin.
Upcoming platinum anti-cancer drugs include satraplatin, which is being developed for treatment of prostate cancer. It is claimed that the use of satraplatin results in a higher survival rate than with existing chemotherapy treatments. Satraplatin will also be the first platinum anti-cancer drug that can be administered orally instead of intravenously, allowing patients to be treated at home. The drug is currently undergoing clinical trials.
Platinum biomedical components
Platinum can be fabricated into very tiny, complex components. As it is inert, platinum does not corrode inside the body, while allergic reactions to platinum are extremely rare. Platinum also has good electrical conductivity, which makes it an ideal electrode material.
Pacemakers, used to treat heart disorders which result in slow or irregular heartbeat, usually contain at least two platinum-iridium electrodes, through which pulses of electricity are transmitted to stabilise the heartbeat. Platinum electrodes are also found in pacemaker-like devices which are used to help people at risk of fatal disturbances in the heart's rhythm. This risk can be minimised by implanting a device known as an Internal Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) which sends a massive electric charge to the heart as soon as it detects a problem.
Catheters, flexible tubes which can be introduced into the arteries, are widely used in modern, minimally-invasive treatments for heart disease. Many catheters contain platinum marker bands and guide wires, which are used to help the surgeon guide the device to the treatment site. The radio-opacity of platinum, which makes it visible in x-ray images, enables doctors to monitor the position of the catheter during treatment.

The total COA is not the amount that you owe the university for the year. Some items in your COA are indirect costs not owed to the university, and some items are estimates. Please note that an average loan fee will be added to your COA for those that borrow a Federal Direct Loan and a Grad Plus Loan. The amount of the loan fee(s) added will depend on the type of loans borrowed. Also note that the cost for registering for the Step 1 exam is included in the M2 'Book and Supply' amount, and the cost for both Step 2 exams are included in the M3 'Book and Supply' totals.
Your financial need is determined using your COA and your Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The EFC is the result of a formula developed by the U.S. Congress and is applied to the information you submit on your FAFSA. Your EFC is not the amount that you must pay the university.
Some aid programs require students to demonstrate financial need in order to be eligible. Please see the Types of Aid section for more information on need based and non-need based aid types.
If you receive any type of funding (including but not limited to awards, grants, loans, waivers, fellowships, scholarships, or tuition reimbursements), you must notify the COM OSFA as soon as possible. Your aid package will be updated to reflect the outside award. Your aid eligibility may or may not change, depending on your level of need and the conditions of the outside award.
NOTE: If an outside award is credited to your account before the COM OSFA can adjust your financial aid package, you will be expected to return any amount of financial aid you are not eligible to receive, even if you have already received a refund.
Please note you cannot receive more than one tuition-restricted award for any term. Only one can pay your tuition. The remaining award will be returned to its source. For example, a student with two assistantships cannot receive two tuition waivers in the same semester. If for some reason multiple tuition-specific awards are credited to your account, your account will be billed for one of the awards, even if you have already received a refund.
Your university bill is managed by the office of University Student Financial Services and Cashier Operations (USFSCO). You are responsible for monitoring your student account and making sure your bill is paid each semester by USFSCO's published due dates. It is recommended to login to UI-Integrate Self-Service and view your student account monthly to keep up to date on your account. You can visit their homepage to find out more information about the following: billing, payments, due dates, refunds, UIC financial counselor (Entrance and Exit Interviews), 1098_T tax information, payment plans, information for new students, other resources and their contact information.
Click here to be directed to USFSCO homepage.
To view your student account you will need to login to UI-Integrate Self-Service.
In addition to the standard budget components, certain adjustments can be made to a student's cost of attendance on a case-by-case basis. Students with extenuating circumstances may appeal for a budget adjustment for certain allowable expenses.
View Request for Budget Adjustment Form in the Forms section of this website for the aid year for which you are applying. If you still have questions about your student budget, contact the COM OSFA to discuss your situation.
In addition, the federal government stipulates that some expenses cannot be included in a student's budget, regardless of the circumstances.
Be sure to refer to the COM OSFA calendar for all budget adjustment request deadlines.
