Greaux 4th in Shanghai 200
Kwame Laurence :: Trinidad Express :: 18.05.2019
KYLE GREAUX finished fourth in the men's 200 metres event at the Shanghai Diamond League meet, in China, yesterday. Running in still conditions, the Trinidad and Tobago sprinter got to the line in 20.40 seconds.
Aaron Brown was the class of the field, clocking 20.07 to finish well ahead of fellow Canadian Andre De Grasse, the runner-up in 20.21. South African Clarence Munyai, way out in lane nine, sneaked in for third, leaning to the line for a 20.37 clocking.

Brown took charge of the race on the bend. By the time he transitioned into the straight, Greaux and company were forced into catch-up mode. De Grasse battled hard but could not close the gap on his compatriot. Greaux looked well positioned to secure third spot, but seemed unaware of Munyai's challenge in lane nine, and had to settle for fourth.

Every year, my friends in The Dalliance (Gerg Gilroy, Barry Mangione and Darrell Long) use their vaunted musical prowess to create a song and then donate all proceeds to a worthy charity. Last year, the beneficiary was the Association For Suicide Prevention.
Every Tuesday night at 9pm EST, Barry hosts a web-show called BARRY ON THE SPOT. The concept is that Barry and the participating audience have a half-hour to co-write a song about that week's topic, and then Barry records the song and posts it to bandcamp. It's a fun half-hour. Sometimes the songs are serious, sometimes they're irreverent, sometimes they're downright inappropriate for younger audiences. But it's always a fun gathering.
This year, Barry and The Dalliance decided to use the BOTS format to write their annual charity song. Because The Dalliance members and a good portion of the participating audience live in the NY-NJ-CT area, it was decided that all proceeds from the sale of the song will go directly to help rebuilding efforts in Breezy Point, NY, one of the areas hit the hardest by Sandy.
The song, to which I contributed the chorus lyrics, is THROUGH THIS TOGETHER. You can buy it on bandcamp and download it immediately. And you can donate whatever you like — $1, $10, $20 …. it's all up to you.
I'm hoping the people who have supported this web-page over the past year of interviews will pitch in. Even $1 from every person I've interviewed and every person whose read an interview here, will go a long way towards helping those still struggling with the aftermath of Sandy.
Thank you in advance for anything you feel you can contribute!

Rusty pick up, how do you treat them?
I suffer from a medical condition that amongst other lots of really lovely things means that my sweat has a whole lot more electrolytes in it than a normal healthy person. This makes my sweat very corrosive and I'm a bit of a sweaty f*cker anyway when I play. I've almost completely rusted through the top 2 pick up screws on my beloved Stingray but disturbingly I've found some small rust spots on the pick up itself. In the past I've played fairly cheap basses and didn't really give a sh*t, but the considerable investment in the Stingray means that I want this one to last a bit longer.
Hey man, I have a similar issue.
The pickup poles on Stingrays are chromed and over time I have chipped some of this chrome off and they are showing a bit of rust now.
I gave them a slight buff with one one those green abrasive scotch pads, nothing too serious and that removed the rust and then i sprayed some CRC808 which is a silicon spray on the pickup and wiped the excess off. I hope it gives it a bit of protection.
I also have one of those silica bag things that absorbs moisture in my case.
You could replace the pickup screws with stainless steel ones I suppose, get some from the local hardware shop but make sure you get the correct size.
I think that everytime you finish playing you should give your Ray a good wipedown!
dannowilso wrote: I think that everytime you finish playing you should give your Ray a good wipedown!
I've got a bit of minor rust on the poles on my MM but it's not serious enough to do anything about. It's just showing it's age.
danno's suggestion about the post gig wipedown is a good idea although I'd be cautious about using abrasive for fear of loosing more coating.
You could also look to getting some sort of silica moisture absorbing gel packs to leave in your case.
Already do the post-gig wipe and use silica bags.
I'm not concerned that there are a few rust spots there now, I'm really just after a way to stem the flow so to speak. It seems a bit weird that people suggest that the way to get rid of the rust is to sand off a thin layer of the chrome that's on the pick ups to protect them in the first place. One suggestion that sort of does make sense is to apply a really thin coat of nail varnish, but again, I'm not overly keen to put a solvent anywhere near my bass.
Have you considered electrolyte balancing drinks to see if that helps?
I know I'd be keen to address the cause of the problem if it were me.
BTW - I know *BANNED* all!!
Also BTW - its just a bass guitar...its a commodity.
That was one of your more constructive posts Rog!
goatboy wrote: Already do the post-gig wipe and use silica bags.
Mite as well just use a can of CRC ZINC IT!
my basses can't stop rusting. i've accepted that i'll need to change screws over time, possibly re-chrome something in the future...no biggie.
though i am a lazy sod when it comes to wiping my bass down after a sesh.
but, the Rics are shocking for the amount of rust that hits the pickup poles (even though, generally, you never touch them). i found a polish with some fine wet&dry sandpaper, followed by a thin rubbing-in of beeswax or vaseline seemed to keep them looking nicer for longer.
At the end of a set he grins, strums a chord and says" In 30 seconds we just walk away...."
I have a bassplayer friend with similar problem. On a high profile tour backing the hobbit some years back, he went through two sets of strings per show. Killed 'em stone dead.

Love your fabric choice! Such a lovely quilt for the season!
I love this! I am two AYOS projects behind! I didn't get to make the past two months and I am so regretting it. Your Clover is perfect for fall.
It's beautiful! I love those teeny tiny houndstooth check squares!
Your Autumn Clover is gorgeous! Yeah! I am so glad that you made this AYOS project!!!
I made Clover using Posh pumpkins too. Your version looks great! I love the polka dot fabric you added.
I had to laugh at your finishing with just 15 minutes to spare. Been there, done that! I usually cut it pretty close on the Schnibbles quilts too, but didn't even manage to get started on Clover last month. It's such a great quilt though (despite all the small pieces and diagonal rows) and I love your fall version. I hope you manage to get it quilted so you can use it for the Holidays!

My problem is that I that I cant play anything now on the PC, or run any benchmarks . The only way I can run a bench mark is that I have to lower the GPU power consumption in MSI afterburner all the way to 37%. I have all my nvidia setting on max performance, and windows 10 power plan to max performance. I tried to uninstall the GPU drivers and reinstall them as the same in Windows 10. Any advice?
Can you access another PSU to try in the system?
Im going to try it at the end of this month.

French Legislation Suggests Employees Deserve The Right To Disconnect
The provision aims to tackle work-related burnout.
Dominique Mosbergen
Senior Reporter, HuffPost
05/25/2016 05:57am EDT | Updated May 27, 2016
Checking your work email on a weekend or a holiday? As part of planned labor reforms, new legislation in France would encourage companies to create policies to help their employees disconnect from the office.
Buried inside a hotly contested French labor reform bill is an amendment suggesting that companies of 50 or more employees draft formal policies to limit the spillover of work, specifically as it's related to "digital technology," into the private lives of employees. This, according to the BBC, would involve establishing a policy that specifies hours when employees aren't supposed to send or receive email.
"All the studies show there is far more work-related stress today than there used to be, and that the stress is constant," Benoit Hamon of the French National Assembly told the BBC. "Employees physically leave the office, but they do not leave their work. They remain attached by a kind of electronic leash-- like a dog. The texts, the messages, the emails -- they colonize the life of the individual to the point where he or she eventually breaks down."
The BBC reports that companies would be expected to voluntarily adhere to the measure.
Work-related burnout appears to be a growing concern for the French government. In February, French Health Minister Marisol Touraine formed a working group in an effort to define and treat work-related exhaustion. According to an April article in the French daily Les Échos, about 1 in 10 of the nation's workforce is at a high risk of job-related burnout.
"The development of information and communication technologies, if badly managed or regulated, can have an impact on the health of workers," Article 25 of the bill reads, according to a New Yorker translation. "Among them, the burden of work and the informational overburden, the blurring of the borders between private life and professional life, are risks associated with the usage of digital technology."
Some have lauded this clause as a win in the battle against over-connectedness.
"The right to disconnect isn't necessarily an obligation … but it's an opportunity -- to claim a little breathing room; to realize that the world won't stop turning, or even producing words or widgets, without one person's constant vigilance," wrote The New Yorker's Lauren Collins this week.
Others, though, have warned that the provision doesn't go far enough.
Jon Whittle, a researcher at Digital Brain Switch, a U.K. project looking at the impacts of digital technology on work-life balance, told The Washington Post that some employees may feel even more overwhelmed at the thought of returning, in the morning or post-vacation, to a deluge of emails.
"I think the topic of work-related well-being is much larger than simply stopping email after-hours," Whittle said. "Email is just a medium used to communicate. The real problem is the culture of having to constantly do more and constantly do better than competitors."
Even if the disconnection provision has received praise, the overall labor reforms have not been positively received.
Referred to as the El Khomri labor law after Labor Minister Myriam El Khomri, the legislation has been enormously unpopular. Critics of the bill say it will weaken unions, threaten employee rights and enhance job insecurity for young people. In recent months, opponents have staged widespread, at times violent, protests.
A woman in France protesting the controversial labor reform bill:
Graine de révolte ! « « La nuit c'est fait pour baiser pas pour travailler » @humanite_fr : https://t.co/wTTJlp2DQR pic.twitter.com/zUUvut5d62
— l'Humanité.fr (@humanite_fr) March 25, 2016
Earlier this month, the French government invoked a rarely used power to force the legislation through the lower chamber of Parliament.
"It is my duty to move forward and make sure this text is adopted," Prime Minister Manuel Valls told Parliament after an emergency cabinet meeting, prompting an onslaught of both boos and cheers.
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this article misstated that the legislation had been enacted; it is still pending before the Senate. Language has also been changed to clarify that the bill recommends, but does not require, companies to adopt the guidance on after-hours emails. This story also initially misidentified Hamon as the minister of education, a position he held for several months in 2014.

TSU sustains ISO 9001:2015 for another audit cycle
The Tarlac State University administration has its eyes fixed on maintaining institutional quality assurance as the university passed another Quality Management System (ISO 9001:2015) audit yesterday, October 7.
by Jazzel Llaneli M. Manabat – 2022 News | Quality Management System | QMS | QMS Events | Institutional Quality Assurance
The two-day virtual surveillance audit was led by TSU President Dr. Arnold E. Velasco, Vice President for Planning and Quality Assurance Dr. Niño B. Corpuz, and QMS Unit Head Engr. Maricar Banting, with the support of the other vice presidents, college deans, directors, and unit heads.
Meanwhile, certifying body W3 Solutionz was represented by Mr. Shahid Mushtaq, who identified the university's leadership and commitment as its strengths. According to him, the top management's continued support of the quest for improvements in quality management, despite the change in administration, is commendable.
As a testament to the university's strong leadership, President Velasco expressed his commitment during the closing meeting urging the TSU community to continue promoting the culture of quality.
"As we close this audit, I know this would benefit the university's continual quest for improvement, delivery of quality services, and compliance with applicable statutory and regulatory requirements," he said.
"We at Tarlac State University fervently commit with utmost sincerity to uphold all the suggestions and recommendations [handed to] us. We promise to continue the processes and activities that we do best and address our shortcomings," he added.
The university has undergone virtual ISO audits since the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak in 2020. For 2023, the certifying body informed the university that in-person audits will be re-implemented.
This is the second audit cycle of TSU focused on ISO 9001:2015 or QMS -- the most appropriate and available standard for the academe, which still includes standards on environment, health, and safety.
From 2016 to 2021, the university maintained three ISO certifications, ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management System); ISO 14001:2015 (Environment Management System); and OHSAS 18001: 2007 (Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series). TSU is the first university in the country to achieve the Integrated Management System Certification awarded by the United States Accreditation Services.

Babysitter allegedly starts fracas over pay
By Karen Nugent TELEGRAM & GAZETTE STAFF
A 16-year-old girl faces several charges after allegedly starting a fracas around 4:30 a.m. Sunday because she believed she was owed back pay for babysitting.
The Clinton girl, whose name and address were not released by police because she is a minor, allegedly went to a Franklin Street home early Sunday and demanded the money. The amount was not listed in a police report.
She allegedly kicked in several windows of the house, and when she was refused the babysitting money, the teen allegedly started pushing and shoving a man and a woman. The man told police the teen attacked him.
At one point, somebody pulled an electrical meter off the side of the house and the teen allegedly used it as a weapon, according to the police report.
Tires also were slashed, but it is unclear whose car received the damage.
The teen, who listed her occupation as a plasterer, is charged with assault and battery, assault and battery to collect money, two counts of malicious destruction of property, disturbing the peace and trespassing.
Also arrested in connection with the incident was Brian Lovely, 40, of 74 Summit St., a carpenter. He is charged with malicious destruction of property, trespassing, disturbing the peace, and illegal possession of marijuana, subsequent offense.
The arrests were made by Officers Richard B. Welch and Thomas G. Nelson Jr.
Mr. Lovely was arraigned yesterday in Clinton District Court and released on personal recognizance. He is scheduled to be back in court on Nov. 27 for a pretrial conference.

Black Americans in the World of Fairs

FREE with RSVP
Mabel O. Wilson, Associate Professor, Columbia Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation (GSAPP) and appointed Senior Fellow at the Institute for Research in African American Studies, will give an overview of her research on black participation in world's fairs.
Navigating through the fairgrounds of the large international expositions staged in the cities of Philadelphia, New Orleans, Chicago, Atlanta, Buffalo, Charleston, Jamestown, and Paris, France, Wilson will examine African-American participation at the great world's fairs. Along with these large mainstream fairs, it is important to peruse the aisles of the expositions organized by black Americans to commemorate their hard-fought struggle to gain freedom from enslavement. These Emancipation Expositions beginning in 1913 through the 1960s happened in cities with growing black populations—Philadelphia, New York City, Chicago, and Detroit. How did World's Fairs and Emancipation Expositions serve as counter-public spheres for black Americans during the era of Jim Crow segregation? What can we learn from how black Americans built or claimed spaces to reimagine their national belonging and share a collective memory of their past?
Associate Professor Mabel O. Wilson (M.Arch '91) teaches architectural design and history/theory courses at Columbia GSAPP. She is also appointed as a Senior Fellow at the Institute for Research in African American Studies and co-directs Global Africa Lab. Her design and scholarly research investigates space, politics and cultural memory in black America; race and modern architecture; new technologies and the social production of space; and visual culture in contemporary art, film and new media.
Her transdisciplinary practice Studio And has been a competition finalist for several important cultural institutions including lower Manhattan's African Burial Ground Memorial and the Smithsonian's National Museum for African American History and Culture (with Diller Scofidio + Renfro). Exhibitions of her work have been featured at the Wexner Center for the Arts, the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum's Triennial, the Storefront for Art and Architecture and SF Cameraworks. She is a founding member of Who Builds Your Architecture? (WBYA?)—an advocacy project to educate the architectural profession about the problems of globalization and labor. WBYA's work was featured at the 2014 Istanbul Design Biennale. In 2011 she was honored as a United States Artists Ford Fellow in architecture and design.
She is the author of Negro Building: Black Americans in the World of Fairs and Museums (University of California Press 2012), which was a runner-up for John Hope Franklin Prize for the best American Studies publication in 2012. Her scholarly essays have appeared in numerous journals and books on critical geography, memory studies, art and architecture. She has received awards, fellowships and residencies from Getty Research Institute, New York State Council for the Arts, and ID magazine. For 2015-2016, she is the Ailsa Mellon Bruce Senior Fellow at the National Gallery of Arts Center for Advanced Study in Visual Arts. She is currently developing the manuscript Building Race and Nation: How Slavery Influenced Antebellum American Civic Architecture and collaborating on a collection of essays on race and modern architecture.
Prof. Wilson received her B.S. in Architecture from University of Virginia, Masters of Architecture from Columbia GSAPP and a Ph.D in American Studies from New York University.

If you've ever filled out a form in Word, you've likely encountered form content that moved all over the page when you tried to fill it in. I've tried using forms that were so difficult I resorted to printing them out and filling them in with a typewriter. But that was back when a typewriter was standard office equipment. These days, I simply recreate the form so I can fill it in electronically. Yes, you read that correctly, I simply recreate the form. Creating a fill-in-the-blanks form in Word that can be filled out electronically is actually pretty simple once you learn the form creation tips and tricks in this blog post.
Before we dive into form creation, there are a couple concepts that need to be understood first. The first concept is a Word document is a container without structure. It's similar to a large storage cabinet that has no shelves or other means to keep it organized. For most documents, this is exactly what we want. As we add and remove content, we want the document to automatically reflow. But when it comes to filling out a form, we want everything surrounding what we're filling in to remain stationary. In order to accomplish that, we need to add structure to the document. Just like how shelves and containers are used in a storage cabinet to keep everything in a dedicated place.
The second concept is all characters use both horizontal and vertical space even though they may not print. For example, each time the spacebar or tab key is pressed a character is inserted. These characters are no different from those that print. In fact, they're called nonprinting characters and, like characters that print, they require a specific amount of space.
To view nonprinting characters, press CTRL+Shift+8 or click the button with a paragraph symbol ( ¶ ) on the Home tab, in the Paragraph group.
Another common character that's used to create fill-in-the-blank "lines" is the underscore. As noted above, every character uses horizontal and vertical space. Even though space above an underscore appears empty, it requires vertical space. If we can't type over the top portions of characters we can see, like the letter M, then we can't type over the top portion of an underscore. And if you've ever tried to type on a "line" that was created using the underscore you quickly discovered the "line" moved and you couldn't type on top of it.
The best way to add structure to a document is to use a table. You may think of a table as a fixed bordered grid of columns and rows that are typically used for lists of data. But that's not the case when it comes to using tables for form development, or for any document that needs structure for that matter. Tables are also used as a layout tool with the border formatting removed and are called borderless tables. They're used to position content on a page, such as to prevent data in a form from moving all over the page when it's filled in later. When you first create a table it will have printed borders, but those are easily removed. And while working in the document, you'll be able to see nonprinting dashed table gridlines.
To turn the table gridlines on or off , use the Gridlines button in the Tables group on the Table Tools Layout tool tab.
Drag through the desired rows and columns using the grid.
If your form is an odd shape, click Draw Table. First draw the desired table height and width, then draw the desired columns and rows. Press the ESC key when you're finished drawing the table.
As previously noted, when you first create your table it will have formatted borders. To remove the border formatting from a table, select the table and on the Table Tools Design tab, click Borders, and then click No Border. If you want to add "lines" to your form, add a bottom border to the table cell. To quickly add them, on the Table Tools Design tab, in the Borders group, click Border Painter and then click the bottom border of each cell that needs a line. To turn off the Border Painter, press the ESC key.
Here's a more advanced form, also with the table gridlines displayed.
To allow your table to automatically increase or decrease in width if the page margins or width of the paper is changed, in the Cell Size group, click AutoFit and then click AutoFit Window. This option sets the width of the table and columns to a percentage measurement instead of an inches or centimeters measurement. I use this option whenever I need to create a form for both Letter and A4 paper size. I start with the Letter size form. When it's complete, I change the paper size to A4 and save it as a different file. Very little, if any, additional editing is required since the table automatically resizes.
To add additional rows or columns, use the Insert options in the Rows & Columns group.
If you're using Word 2013 or Word 2016, to add new rows or columns, point to the left of the table between two rows or above the table between two columns. Watch for the on-screen rinsertion indicator to appear, and then click the indicator to insert a new row or column.
If creating a fill-in-the-blanks form, set the alignment of all table cells to the bottom. The Align Bottom Left, Align Bottom Center, or Align Bottom Right alignment options are in the Alignment group.
To prevent data from being moved down the page if a the Enter key is pressed, which is fairly common in fill-in-the-blank forms, set the row height to an exact measurement. To do so, select the table rows, in the Table group, click Properties, on the Row tab, select the Specify Height option, in the size box, type 12 pt or 24 pt, and then from the drop down for Row Height Is, select Exactly. You can use any row height. I use 12 pts (0.17") for single spaced forms and 24 pts (0.33") for double spaced forms. Note that this will not prevent the usage of the Enter key, it only prevents the form data from becoming misaligned, since the table row will not increase in height.
If there is no additional text after the table, use a 1pt font size for the paragraph mark following the table and remove all spacing before and after the paragraph mark. This is to prevent the extra paragraph mark from creating a blank page.
You can resize the width of cell without changing the width of the cells above or below it. An example of cells that need different widths is the previous Customer Name and Address example. The Customer Name cell would be wider than the Address cell. To resize a single cell, place your mouse pointer in the bottom left corner of the cell, watch for a diagonal black arrow to display, and click to select the cell. Then drag the right edge of the column to resize it.
You can use borderless tables for a variety of layout needs. Whenever you need to keep content together or in a specific location, consider using a table. Just the other day I used a small table with two rows for a floating picture and caption. I placed the picture in one row and the caption in the other. This way, if the table is moved, the picture and caption will stay together. Other layout examples are parallel side-by-side columns, newsletters, resumes, brochures, flyers, cover pages—anything that needs structure, needs to be in a table.

You may have already heard the importance of storytelling in marketing. But it may all sound a bit "fluffy" to you, especially if you haven't seen specific examples of storytelling in campaigns.
I mean, what do stories have to do with marketing? Isn't our goal to SELL, not to spin tales or entertain our audience?
This post will explain exactly why storytelling is a must for marketers, as well as tips for incorporating stories into your own marketing.
Fact: Corporate messaging isn't personal. Sometimes it's necessary, but it probably won't help you build any personal connections with your audience. Stories are far more relatable and help your audience see the real people behind your brand.
Sharing your company's origin story can be a great way to make a personal connection.
What to try: Write out the story of how your brand or company was born. What was going on in your life that led you to start your business? How did you feel when your product was first launched? What needs or issues in your own life did your business or products seek to fill?
Share this story on your blog, on your website's 'About page' and on social media. It will help your audience immediately feel an increased connection to you and your brand.
Fact: Simply listing off a bunch of facts and statistics is unlikely to change someone's mind or persuade them to buy – especially if they have strong objections or a bias against your product.
However, according to research out of Berkeley, stories have the potential to "move us to tears, change our attitudes, opinions and behaviors", and can even change our brains.
What to try: Stories are an integral part of persuasive writing. Incorporate stories into your sales pages, opinion pieces, and any other place where you're trying to convince readers to opt-in or buy something, or get them to change their minds on an issue.
Fact: It's a sad fact that most content that gets published online gets little to no traction. With so much new content getting published every day, it's vital that business owners do whatever they can to actually get their content noticed and read.
Stories are a great way to do this. People would rather read stories than boring, dry "industry speak". Which blog post would you rather read? "How Our Catering Company Can Help On Your Special Day", or "The Story of Maggie and Derek's Wedding"?
What to try: Incorporate case studies and short stories into your blog posts, emails and other marketing materials. These can be your own personal stories, customer stories, or even fictitious stories that help to illustrate a point (just be sure to let your readers know they're fictional!).
Be sure to build a call to action (CTA) into your content so your readers are not only entertained, but are encouraged to take further action once they're done reading.
Fact: If your competitors aren't using storytelling in their marketing – or aren't using it well – storytelling can give your business a serious competitive edge.
Imagine you follow two companies on Facebook. One constantly shares the features and benefits of their products, while the other tells stories of how their customers have benefited from using them. Which would you find more compelling?
What to try: Spend some time sleuthing to see if your competitors are using storytelling in their marketing. What can you do better? How can you use storytelling to differentiate yourself? What new or different types of stories can you tell that will be meaningful to your target market?
Fact: According to Nielsen's Global Trust in Advertising and Brand Messages Survey, 92% of consumers say they trust earned media, aka personal recommendations, above all other forms of media. Earned media can include word of mouth, customer recommendations/referrals, media mentions, etc.
What to try: Share stories, anecdotes, media mentions and testimonials from your customers to build trust with your audience. New-to-the-scene Infant soothing product Babocush has been using customer testimonials in their marketing, and has achieved amazing results. In just about a year, they've already grown their Facebook page to over 120,000 fans!
Storytelling is an incredibly powerful tool for building connections and trust, and for getting traction for your content.
Hopefully this post inspired you to give it a try in your own marketing, and gave you some ideas for how to get started.
Do you use storytelling as part of your marketing strategy? How so? Share below!
Mark, I just checked the two links and they appear to be working fine. I would try them again when you get a minute.
Storytelling gives marketing a personal touch and successfully connects with customers and builds a relation. Storytelling is an inconceivably the best way for building connections and trust.
Hey Kim! Great stuff as usual. I've also had great success with interactive storytelling using the power of content creation platforms like Playbuzz.
These are some excellent pointers on how brands use storytelling techniques to humanize the brand. This is a really effective strategy to get people to be emotionally involved in your brand.
Quality artiсles іs the crucial to interest the viewers to pay a visit tһe weƅsite, that's ѡhat this web site is pгoviɗing.
Thank you so much for sharing this post! Brands should actually focus on storytelling as it can turn people's opinion about their products. It can either change their thought in favor of your brand or turn them against it. Also, just like you have mentioned, through a good brand story, brand scan set themselves apart from competition.

I created this illustrated fruit map of Taiwan as an ongoing map project that I have been working on.
Taiwan is my home country and most people think of Taiwan as being really industrial (Made in Taiwan) but it's actually a really beautiful culturally fascinating country.
We have the most beautiful landscapes but also really amazing food. Taiwan is also really famous in the East for it's range of fruits (it's a tropical country) and is known as the Kingdom of Fruits.
This map that I have created shows many of the local fruits throughout the numerous states in Taiwan. This was a lot of fun to create but also makes me miss the fruit from my country.
Standard size for this print is A4 but I have also added a lot of variations to include different image sizes as well as a "buy it digitally only" option. Everything is printed onto top quality photo paper and depending on location the print will be posted flat or in a photo tube. Please note this doesn't include a frame.
Prices include domestic postage charges.

After taking just one point from the previous three February fixtures, Blackpool will look to end the month on a high and move away from the League One relegation zone this weekend.
The Seasiders welcome a Bradford City side honing in on the play-offs but Pool will hope to return to form with an eighth win of the campaign at Bloomfield Road.
Last week Neil McDonald's men were unlucky to finish on the losing side, despite scoring twice against Swindon Town, while Bradford twice came from behind to take a point off Rochdale.
The Bantams sit four points adrift of the top six but are unbeaten have taken seven points from the last nine available and have hit eight goals in those matches.
Blackpool will hope to have Uche Ikpeazu back after he missed last week's fixture with a groin problem.
Bradford's James Hanson has been declared fit after being withdrawn early during last week's draw. Josh Cullen is also back to fitness, while James Meredith and Lee Evans have shrugged off illnesses.
Michael Bull will be in the middle for Saturday's clash, which will be his first Blackpool fixture. He'll be assisted by Simon Clayton and Kevin Mattocks at Bloomfield Road.
Henry Cameron and Uche Ikpeazu provide the main interviews inside Saturday's edition of Up The Pool. We also hear from Mark Yeates, Jack Redshaw and Neil McDonald inside, while Tony McMahon provides the away perspective.

Amazon's food retailing in India may finally take off
Amazon Retail India, currently present in more than 100 cities, plans to expand to another 60 tier 2-3 cities in the next 12-14 months
Rasul Bailay
April 24, 2019, 08:34 IST
Amazon's fully owned food retailing subsidiary in India appears to be finally taking off after New Delhi gave its assent to the venture for locally sourced items two years ago, multiple suppliers to the online grocer told ET.
Amazon Retail India (ARIPL), currently present in more than 100 cities, plans to expand to another 60 tier 2-3 cities in the next 12-14 months, according to three people familiar with the development. In 2017, the company received federal approval for investing $500 million in a venture to sell locally-produced food items.
Multiple food distributors in various cities said currently Amazon is in the process of lining up dozens of small delivery centres, in the range of 2,000 sq ft, in tier-2 and tier-3 cities for its hub-and-spoke supply chain model that will primarily be fed by large warehouses located in surrounding areas.
"Since delivering small food items from large cities is not a cost-effective proposition, it has to create those local delivery capabilities," said one of the food distributors working with ARIPL. "Smaller warehouses will be used for some thousand odd high-moving FMCG products," said another supplier familiar with Amazon's plans.
Another person said ARIPL currently sells about 3,000 stock keeping units (SKUs) of food items and has lined up a network of 250 suppliers in various cities. Amazon did not respond to an email seeking its comments.
ARIPL has had a tepid start locally. Amazon is the only large global corporation to invest here after India in 2016 allowed for the first time overseas capital into selling locally packaged food items through both offline and online channels.
For example, the government had asked ARIPL not to share warehousing and other supply chain paraphernalia with Amazon's flagship e-commerce marketplace.
Once those issues were clarified, ARIPL had to briefly shut operations on Amazon.in in February amid uncertainties on whether it can continue to sell on Amazon's marketplace after the December FDI rules on ecommerce.
These rules had barred foreign-backed platforms from selling products from their affiliates. Now that the government has allowed ARIPL to sell on Amazon. in, the venture is expanding.
Amazon has even started creating separate warehouses for ARIPL that otherwise it used to share with Cloudtail and other Amazon operations.
For example, many of the food vendors that earlier supplied to Amazon's warehouses in Gurgaon and surrounding areas are now supplying to a warehouse in Sonipat that is dedicated to ARIPL, one vendor said.

Valentine's Day is approaching and what better way is there to share the love than to tell us what you love about volunteering!
In celebration of #lovevolunteering campaign, the Cynnal Cymru team are reflecting on their own volunteering experiences, sharing the positive benefits gained from an individual, business and community perspective.
Rhodri set up his own voluntary organisation when he was living in the Vale of Glamorgan for which he was the Chair. The organisation undertook litter picks, held guided nature walks and created a community orchard. More recently, Rhodri helped "friends of Radyr Woods" take up old rotten boardwalks to be replaced by new materials. His other voluntary experiences include support for the charity Sustainable Wales, being a volunteer mentor for the Prince of Wales charity Prime Cymru, being a board member and trustee for Volcano Theatre and helping the Uprising initiative which aims to help young people develop entrepreneurial skills in relation to the environment.
Lynsey has been involved with a number of voluntary initiatives over the last 10 years, where she combines her creative skills with knowledge-sharing. She was co-founder of thinkARK a voluntary group using creative and collaborative approaches to develop small scale community projects. She was co-organiser and volunteer at Trade School Cardiff – an alternative learning and sharing skills space where people exchange skills through a non monetary barter system. She was also co-founder of Geek Speak Cardiff, a sociable social media group that supported people working in the third sector to learn and share knowledge with new digital tools. More recently Lynsey has joined her local litter picking group Keep Riverside Tidy and last year launched a new podcast (Seismic Wales) with three friends to share sustainability stories featuring good people doing great things across Wales.
Clare currently volunteers as a parent governor at Moorland Primary School to support the teaching staff to give pupils the best experience possible. It helps to share perspectives from other organisations that she has worked for in terms of processes and policies and also to bring fresh eyes to any long-standing problems that the school might be facing.
I did a lot of volunteering whilst at University to add to my C.V before moving into the working world. This included serving drinks and speaking Welsh at coffee mornings for Welsh learners at Ty Tawe in Swansea. I still chose to volunteer after getting a job and chose to offer emotional and practical support to victim's of hate crime with Victim Support. This was a rewarding experience which provided me with full training and allowed me to give back to those in need.
Cynnal Cymru is proud to be working with the Wales Council for Voluntary Action WCVA and Volunteering Wales to raise awareness of the #iwill campaign and to provide practical support to businesses wanting to embed youth social action (like volunteering, fundraising or campaigning) as part of their corporate social responsibility strategy. We are keen to hear from businesses in Wales that are interested in supporting the #iwill campaign.


Hello Everyone. i am doing my Germination design lab report and im a bit struggling and stuck on the Data processing part! what other calculations can i perform other than calulcating the ratio and my design is about: The effect of light on seed germination. I placed seeds in the drawer. some on the bench left to the light of the lab, and some under a light bulb, i counted how many seeds germinate each day and toom a ratio, but i feel its about weak, can anyone help me?
I don't know how much I can give to you. Just remember that you have two types of data you can collect. Quantitative and qualitative.
Also, germinating seeds affect the environment around them. So in addition to looking at what stage the seeds are at, you can use some equipment to detect some things about the atmosphere right around the seeds.
We did a self design seed germination experiment earlier this year as well. Perhaps you can calculate the percentage of the seeds that germinated and present the information on a graph?
Hey, thanks for the help, but im not sure i understand the last point you said. but you gave me an idea about that maybe i can measure the length of the shoots and roots developed by each seed in each place and take average? that would be qualitative data? but can you please elaborate on the last point you said =D but thanks really helped me !
Well i actually calculated the ratio, perhaps i can change it to percentage and then present it on a pie chart?


For the last little while I've been expressing wariness about online citizen engagement, and I'd like to explain that.
Of course a lot of citizen engagement will be online. And it can be incredibly effective. The distinction between online and offline is culturally and practically fading. I've defended the idea that online platforms are no worse than in-person ones; just different, suited for different interactions. The term "online" may have a cultural shelf life itself.
So why am I wary?
Let's shift gears a little and talk about digital audio. When CDs came out, they completely sidelined vinyls and cassettes in a decade. Vinyl basically ceased to exist. Yet today we've seen seven years of double-digit growth in vinyl sales and they're now a $1B market, representing 15-18% of physical music revenues.
It's because we over-adjusted to the digital audio option. It was seen as the future, and we wanted to future-proof our collections. We wanted to virtue signal the idea that we were modern and technologically savvy. But over time, those psychological bonuses to the economic decision of audio formats subsided, and we returned to a level playing field between vinyl and digital. We could decide in a less biased way between the two options. At which point we rediscovered the virtues of vinyl - the quality, the packaging, the art, the ritual - for some situations.
Which doesn't change that digital audio is the absolute standard, and for good reason.
Back to online citizen engagement. It's seen as nearly free. It's seen as easy. But most of all it's seen as inclusive. That is, because engagement is online it's seen as fair. It's seen as plausibly reaching the entire intended audience.
More simply: online engagement gets used as a get-out-of-jail-free card for thinking through your goals, engagement design, and audience. It's seen as the future, ergo it's good.
It is sometimes. It it not always.
"When hundreds or thousands of stakeholders are asked to (a) speak before a panel for ten to fifteen minutes, (b) submit short written statements to a government body, or (c) participate as representatives of identified interests, then the invitation contains an implicit request to be either superficial or one-dimensional."
This effect is exacerbated by our current culture towards online engagement. The idea that public policy issues are complex is repeated daily, but we ask people for bullet points. Yet! It's possible to do small, deliberative working groups that get into the complexities and nuances of an issue. They may report analyses or pros and cons to a larger interested audience, who may vote or be surveyed in a lightweight way. This can all be done online. But people to tend to assume online always means open, public, easy, and everyone.
Digital lets us think we can skip design and facilitation. When you're doing in-person engagement, the level of design is incredibly involved. Session designers or participant experience designers (that's a thing - do you have one for your online engagement?) think through to the individual personalities in the room. They adjust the timing of parts down to 5-minute increments. They pull from a library of techniques for group discussion. And they actively facilitate. We're only flirting with that level of sophistication online; this is where low-fidelity MP3s started getting replaced by high quality-digital audio but we're not quite there yet. It's a little bit about the technology, but far more about how we use it.
The digital divide is real. Canada's well-connected to the internet, but if you look at the top quartile for age, or the bottom quartile for income, those reassuring 90%+ numbers drop to more like 60%. Many people have to choose between home broadband and mobile and opt for the flexibility of mobile, but there are three activities with massive transaction completion drop-off rates on mobile: banking, looking for jobs, and interacting with government. To say nothing of skills, attitudes, and cultures.
All that to say: digital citizen engagement is going to be amazing for public policy-making and for the relationship between citizens and their governments. I really believe that. And digital will be the standard. But it'll only get amazing when we learn to love the record scratch of in-person engagement, realize the shortcomings of online and therefore get better at it, and choose deliberately between the right options for the right situations.

Q: Converting Python Dictionary to JSON Array I currently have a Python Dictionary that looks something like this:
OrderedDict([('2017-07-24', 149.7619), ('2017-07-25', 150.4019), ('2017-07-26', 151.1109), ...

that I am converting to JSON like so:
one_yr = json.dumps(priceDict)

Currently I am adding values to the dictionary from an SQL query by looping through it like so:
for i in query:
    date = i[0]
    close = i[1]
    priceDict[date] = close

The problem is that this returns a JSON object, that i then have to convert to a JSON array.
I am wondering if I can just convert my Python Dictionary to a JSON array directly? Thanks.

A: json.dumps(list(priceDict.items()))

But why do you have an OrderedDict in first place? If you pass the same list you passed to OrderedDict to json.dumps it will generate your array:
json.dumps([('2017-07-24', 149.7619), ('2017-07-25', 150.4019),....])

No need for OrderedDict in this case

A: If you want to convert a Python Dictionary to JSON using the json.dumps() method.
`
import json
from decimal import Decimal
d = {}
d["date"] = "2017-07-24"
d["quantity"] = "149.7619"
print json.dumps(d, ensure_ascii=False)

`

A: I removed the OrderedDict but kept all the other data, I think I understand the request.  See if this works for you:
import json

my_dict = ([('2017-07-24', 149.7619), ('2017-07-25', 150.4019), ('2017-07-26', 151.1109)])

print(json.dumps(my_dict, indent=4, sort_keys=True))

CARVED & CAST
Poisoners' Biographies
• MARY BLANDY (1721-52) The engaging daughter of a wealthy Henley-on-Thames solicitor fed her father poisonous gruel, encouraged by her insidious married lover of whom he disapproved.
• DR WILLIAM PALMER (1824-56) The Rugeley Poisoner trained as a physician, but gave it up to breed racehorses. A blackmailer and forger, he poisoned a racing companion and members of his own family for pure financial gain.
• DR EDWARD PRITCHARD (1825-65) Moving house after the suspicious death of one servant, the doctor aborted his child with another. He dispensed fatal tonics to his wife and her visiting mother who died after eating tapioca pudding.
• MARY ANN COTTON (1832-73) Britain's most prolific serial killer prior to Harold Shipman. The 'grieving' widow and sometime nurse, insured and murdered three husbands, ten children, five stepchildren, her mother, her sister and a lover.
• ADELAIDE BARTLETT (1855-86) A baffling case since the mystery of how chloroform got into her husband's stomach with no trace found in his throat remains unsolved. Though acquitted, some experts queried her innocence.
• DR THOMAS CREAM (1850-92) Leaving a trail of suspicious deaths on both sides of the Atlantic, the Lambeth Poisoner desired and despised whores with ferocious intensity, prescribed pills to victims and claimed to be Jack the Ripper.
• GEORGE CHAPMAN (1865-1903) The Polish barber-surgeon had several names and mistresses who often posed as his wife. He killed three 'spouses' and, despite his modus being poison, was also considered a Ripper suspect.
• FREDERICK SEDDON (1872-1912) A landlord who 'financially advised' his tenant then poisoned her with arsenic extracted from flypapers. Swindled of their inheritance, her relatives insisted her contaminated body was exhumed.
• GRAHAM YOUNG (1948-90) Though his stepmother's death went undetected, he used chemicals to gain power as a child. After a period in Broadmoor, he poisoned his new co-workers' tea. Struck down one by one, it led to two deaths.

Ex-Eagles Star Reacts To Arsenal's Opening Day Win At Fulham
in EPL, News
The Gunners delivered an excellent, all-round performance to come away from the Craven Cottage with a comfortable 3-0 victory to the delight of former Nigeria international Sunday Oliseh
One-time Super Eagles head coach Sunday Oliseh has praised Arsenal's impressive 3-0 win at Premier League new boys Fulham on Saturday afternoon.
A scrambled first-half finish from Frenchman Alexandre Lacazette handed the Gunners the lead before second-half efforts from debuting Brazilian defender Gabriel Magalhães and Gabonese striker Pierre Emerick Aubameyang sealed all the three points at stake for Mikel Arteta's side.
Arguably the outstanding star of the day was former Chelsea winger Willian, who provided two assists, had a hand in the game's opener, and had his first-half freekick come off the post.
Arteta appears to be forging the FA Cup and Community Shield winners into a decent team, and Oliseh had nothing but praise for the way the side performed against the Lily Whites.
Writing on his official Twitter account, the former Juventus midfielder said:
"Arsenal put up a highly organized, modern, mature & credibly well-rounded performance today vs. Fulham.
"I believe, should they continue this way versus other opponents, Arsenal fans have the right to be extremely optimistic this season. Impressive!"
