Sumo (formerly SumoMe) is a suite of lead generation and audience development tools that help you gather more email addresses and spread your content around the internet.
I've used Sumo since before it was even named Sumo. Over the years they have added more and more features. I use everything from slider email capture boxes to sticky email captures to heat maps to know where people are clicking.
WPengine is my hosting tool of choice. I've used various others over time, but moved to WPengine a few years ago because I needed a host I could trust to keep my sites up and running.
WPengine gives you 24/7 support, staging environments, cache control, easy SSL setup, and so much more. Their plans changed in early 2018, but they are still a great deal if you are looking for a combination of number of installs and traffic. Plus, they specialize in WordPress so if you care about a host that is optimized for WordPress then WPengine is your best option.
I first read The Four Hour Work Week in December 2008 and it changed my life. This book single handedly made me realize that I could live life under my own terms and experience a life of adventure and travel. We are meant to stay in one place and work a soul sucking job!


A high level of innovation translates into a low cost economy.
Innovation incubation in Israel. Incubators have been giving risk free loans to start ups to the tune of 600000 USD. If the start up fails, they do not have to pay back the loan. If they succeed they pay back 3% per annum royalty.
Failure on the path of innovation is not penalized in Israel.
Tesla has finalized an agreement with Panasonic to begin the manufacturing of new solar cells.  With double the energy of the first generation battery, these high-efficiency solar cells can power an average two-bedroom home for a full day.  "This will change the energy world forever.", Elon Musk.
A shift in organizational culture and systems from ,"Organization centric" to,"Customer centric" has the potential of triggering innovations not only in product or service but also in the entire system for delivering value to the customer as well as innovation in all elements of the organizational system with which the customer interacts thereby triggering not only product or service innovation but also innovation in organizational operational and communication systems.
Thus customer centricity creates a whole new perspective in relation to organizational and systems design.
Recently conducted a training program on,"Innovation in HR".Prima -facie it seems that innovation is inapplicable to HR.However after applying innovation tools and the innovation development process to HR,it becomes evident that innovations in HR are as big game changers as product and process innovations.Innovation in HR standard and staid HR concepts such as leave can bring about q transformation of the concept from a welfare concept and system into a motivational concept and system.
Water Gen has created a product which creates water from air .
Tesla roof is the disruptive innovation of the decade in the field of energy.What an opportunity?
Energy companies which do not adapt to this innovation are bound to be affected.

If you're in Southern California and you haven't visited The Gentle Barn yet, you must go! It's located in Santa Clarita, about 50 minutes north of Los Angeles, and is open on Sundays from 10am-2pm. The farm is home to 170 animals from llamas to goats and pigs to cows, all of which have been rescued from abuse, neglect, or abandonment. On top of running the sanctuary and educating the general public, Gentle Barn hosts programs for at-risk-youth and special needs children that are rooted in connecting with the animals.
When I went with Bear we liked feeding the horses carrots and brushing the cows!
Something that looks really fun to attend is their Gentle Thanksgiving event on Thanksgiving day. You can spend the evening feeding cranberries to the turkeys, eating gourmet veg food, and cozying up to a bonfire with the option to participate in a Native American Drum Circle. Registration is now open, so if you're interested reserve today!
This past spring they opened a second location in Tennessee. Have any of you kind lifers in Tennessee been yet? Share photos from your adventure with me on Instagram (@aliciasilverstone) or Twitter (@aliciasilv)!

Updated 24th Mar 2022, 9:20am
The Sunderland-based private home builder was awarded five-star status by the Home Builders Federation (HBF) for 2022, which is the third successive year in which the firm has been awarded the status.
Gentoo has been recognised for its "quality service throughout the home buying process, including the standards of its new homes and its exceptional customer service".
The five-star rating means that more than 90% of Gentoo Homes' customers who completed the annual HBF customer satisfaction survey would recommend them to a friend.

The builder currently has seven developments across the North East, including its flagship Chester Gate development near Pennywell and the Cottier Grange site in the Tyne Valley.
Anthony Douglas, operations director at Gentoo Homes, said: "We are extremely proud to have achieved five-star builder rating for the third year running.
"As the award is determined by our customers, it makes it that bit extra special. It is a testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone here at Gentoo Homes to provide a quality service for our customers in every aspect of their home buying journey.
"We're building high-quality homes across the North East and knowing that more than 9 out of 10 customers are happy with the service that we've provided is brilliant."
Gentoo also had recent success at its Meadow View development in Houghton, where site manager Michael Fucile received a prestigious National Housing Building Council's (NHBC) Pride in the Job award.

February 3-4, 2014. This is part of an ongoing collaboration between the three organizations over the last several years to promote exchange of ideas, training of students in the Jungian thought and improve the treatment of individuals in India and USA. The International Association of Analytical Psychology has sponsored the establishment of the IAAP (www.iaap.org) developing Jungian groups in India under the leadership of Jungian psychoanalyst Ashok Bedi, M.D., who is the IAAP's liaison person in India and travels annually to India to promote its mission for about a decade.
A very edifying and prolific workshop was organized by The Jung Center Mumbai, The Kripa Foundation and the USA India Jung Foundation on "Emerging Frontiers in Addiction Treatment" on the February 3 and 4, 2014. The two day workshop was facilitated by Ashok Bedi, M.D and Dinshah Gagrat M.D, themes like Crossing the Healing Zone – From Illness to Wellness, Emerging Frontiers in Eating Addictions, The Wounded Healer and Emerging Frontiers in Alcohol and Drug Addictions were very well facilitated by Dr. Ashok Bedi, M.D. and Dr. Dinshah Gagrat, M.D.
The workshop gave a lot of scope to the attendees to talk about their experiences and understanding related with the themes taken up with respect to their direct encounter with the chemically afflicted through sharing, discussion and case presentations. The workshop also gave counselors an insight on how they can work on themselves to be able to work well and effectively on the target population.
The excerpts from Fr.Joe helped the attendees more profoundly to gauge the areas and patterns to be given glances for change as per the need and requirement of the whole therapeutic itinerary. Other psychologically therapeutic interventions were also taken up and introduced to the group addressed like Integrative Cognitive Therapy, Dialectic Behavior Therapy, Motivational Enhancement Therapy, etc.
The facilitators held the attention of the attendees through out the workshop strongly and made it immensely appealing, also, by adding the twines of humor as an when they could find spaces in between which also included a self-created poem by Dr. Gagrat. The workshop had the instances of subtle work created by Fr. Joe and other facilitators which helped stabilize and hold on to the realms of positive energy around Also present at the worshop was Dr. Shoba and Mrs. Usha Bedi. A sincere Gratitude to Dr (Mrs.).Blanche Barnes of Dr.Leo Barnes Foundation at which the Jungian Workshop was held.


Abstract: We give an introduction on discrete Ricci curvature notions and give an overview of recent results. In particular, we focus on Ollivier Ricci curvature which has been introduced via optimal transport theory. A characterization of lower Ricci curvature bounds via gradient estimates for the heat semigroup is presented. We show that non-negative Ricci curvature implies the Liouville property, i.e., every bounded harmonic function is constant. This seems to be the first analytic result for graphs with non-negative Ricci curvature in the sense of Ollivier.

Q: Delphi SAPI Text-To-Speech First of all: this is not a duplicate of Delphi and SAPI. I have a specific problem with the "SAPI in Delphi" subject.
I have used the excellent Import Type-Library guide in Delphi 2009 to get a TSpVoice component  in the component palette. This works great. With
var
  SpVoice: TSpVoice;

I can write
SpVoice.Speak('This is an example.', 1);

to get asynchronous audio output.
First question
According to the documentation, I would be able to write
SpVoice.Speak('This is an example.', 0);

to get synchronous audio output, but instead I get an EZeroDivide exception. Why's that?
Second question
But more importantly, I would like to be able to create the SpVoice object dynamically (I think this is called to "late-bind" the SpVoice object), partly because only a very small fraction of all sessions of my app will use it, and partly because I do not want to assume the existance of the SAPI server on the end-user's system.
To this end, I tried
procedure TForm1.FormClick(Sender: TObject);
var
  SpVoice: Variant;
begin
  SpVoice := CreateOleObject('SAPI.SpVoice');
  SpVoice.Speak('this is a test', 0);
end;

which apparently does nothing at all! (Replacing the 0 with 1 gives me the EZeroDivide exception.)
Disclaimer
I am rather new to COM/OLE automation. I am sorry for any ignorance or stupidity shown by me in this post...
Update
For the benefit of everyone encountering the same problem as I did, the video by François explained there is a bug in SAPI/Windows (some incompatibility somewhere), which makes the following code raise the EZeroDivide exception:
procedure TForm1.FormClick(Sender: TObject);
var
  SpVoice: variant;
begin
  SpVoice := CreateOleObject('SAPI.SpVoice');
  SpVoice.Speak('This is a text.');
end;

The solution, as presented by the video, is to alter the FPU control word:
procedure TForm1.FormClick(Sender: TObject);
var
  SpVoice: variant;
  SavedCW: Word;
begin
  SpVoice := CreateOleObject('SAPI.SpVoice');
  SavedCW := Get8087CW;
  Set8087CW(SavedCW or $4);
  SpVoice.Speak('This is a text.');
  Set8087CW(SavedCW);
end;

And, in addition, if you want to play a sound asynchronously, then you have to make sure that the player doesn't go out of scope!

A: You may find interesting to see this CodeRage 4 session on "Speech Enabling Delphi Applications (zip)"
You'll get the "how-to" you're looking for...
(and I guess you are on Vista or + as the the zero divide did not happend on XP)

A: I was having the same problem in Delphi XE2.  The Set8087CW(SavedCW or $4) solution presented in the question did not work for me.  It merely replaced the division by zero exception with another floating point exception.
What did work for me is this:
SavedCW := Get8087CW;
SetFPUExceptionMask([exInvalidOp, exDenormalized, exZeroDivide, exOverflow, exUnderflow, exPrecision]);
SpVoice.Speak('All floating point exceptions disabled!', 0);
Set8087CW(SavedCW);

Godspeed my love 'til you are mine again.

Suspect Arrested in the Murder of Four University of Idaho Students
Suspect arrested in the murder of four University of Idaho students.

Moscow, Idaho: Moscow Police have arrested a suspect by the name of Bryan Christopher Kohberger in the murder of four University of Idaho students.
Kohberger was taken into custody by the FBI and local police at 3 a.m. in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and appeared in court on Friday.
FoxNews reported that the arrested suspect is a Ph.D. graduate of Washington State University in Pullman, Washington. Pullman is only a fifteen-minute drive away from the victims' home.
The suspect's name is cited in the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology at Washington State University, though these details are yet to be confirmed by officials.
Cole Alteneder, a former University of Idaho student who previously lived in the victims' house, says. "You can't walk up any of the stairs or on any of the floors without everybody in the house knowing it."
The house had a "very active party life," and "a lot of students are very familiar with the inside of the home. At parties, people would hop the fence and just, like, walk away if the cops came," he notes.
Weeks before the murders, police arrived at the victims' property about noise complaints from neighbors. None of the housemates were reportedly home. Police interrogated neighbors and bystanders about the disturbances, even speaking to one of the future victims on the phone.

Theories yet to be Rejected by Officials
The case has accumulated a myriad of theories, with one Facebook group having amassed 134k members. Within it, many believe Moscow Police have identified the murderer(s) but have insufficient evidence to prove this; others are not as confident.
Police affirm that the two surviving roommates slept through the ordeal. Additionally, the survivors were reportedly located on the ground floor, while the victims were on the second and third floors.
The location of the bodies is yet to be confirmed, though suspicions remain regarding Ethan Chapin and Xana Kernodle's involvement in the ordeal. Some have theorized, within the police's cryptic messaging, that the pair found themselves at the wrong place and time.
According to online investigators, Ethan Chapin was found in the hallway rather than on Xana's bed. The order in which the four were murdered has also not been released.
Kaylee's father alleged his daughter visibly displayed more stab wounds, implying the killer had close ties to her. The other victims may have potentially been in the way of a calculated and targeted plan.
The Standing Theories within the Online Community
The Killer had no relation to the victims.
Hooded man in the Grub Truck video who appears to follow Kaylee and Madison.
Any of the girls' ex-boyfriends, whose relationships may or may not have ended sourly.
A possible neighbor.
The roommates with additional help.
The fraternity guys whose party two of the victims attended before their murders.
Currently, Moscow Police believe the following are not involved in the crime:
The two surviving roommates.
The male in the Grub Truck video.
The driver who took Kaylee and Madison home.
The male who was called by Kaylee and Madison hours before the event.
Anyone who called 911 about the event.
The individual who moved out of the house before the start of university.
No weapon has been confiscated, but detectives have collected evidence from three dumpsters on King Road.

More Warm Banks Open in UK as Fear Grows for Most Vulnerable
Thousands of Britains are using communal spaces known as warm banks to stave off the cold as heating their own homes has become unaffordable.
Sarah Jayne Smith01/08/2023


OC Northern Command Maj. Gen. Yoel Strick met with the UNIFIL commander Italian Maj. Gen. Stafano Del Col on Thursday to deliver a strong protest against Hizballah's flagrant violations of UNSC Res 1701 by digging terror tunnels under the border. He gave him an aerial photo of a tunnel running from the Lebanese village of Ramaya under the border up to Moshav Dolev in Western Galilee. Gen. Strick demanded that a UNIFIL force meet up with Lebanese army personnel ASAP at the tunnel's opening and disable it. Otherwise, the IDF will perform this task.
Just bomb it and bomb a bit more as it is needed to destroy the tunnel, as there may be infrastructure next to it. If not then it is a warning ….
UNIFIL was never able to do much because it was never posted on the Lebanon-Syria border which is where most of the weapons going to Hezbollah came through. However, since the Lebanon-Israel border is the responsibility of UNIFIL, it remains to be seen what they will do about these cross border tunnels. Since Hezbollah never signed the UN1701 agreement it does not feel bound by it even though it somewhat references Hezbollah in it. Hezbollah are masters at propaganda and deception they should be called Hutzpaollah since even during the Syrian war where they took many losses they acted like it didn't really affect them when in fact it did affect them. You can gauge how effective something is against them by the degree of purposeful opposite denial that they put out in response to it. They want to give this impression to all including their followers and opponents that they are invincible as a religious group.
UNIFL is a total joke and waste of US Taxpayer $$$, Simply dismantle it TODAY. DeFund.
Send an Emissary to Lebanon explaining that the Lebanese need to make a very big decision soon.
Contain Hezy or Beirut gets leveled to 1982 again, within 48 hours of the first rocket attack. No exceptions.
Terrorists only understand 1 language, it's strength, not diplomacy. That way, when Hezy retreats back to Beriut, it'll be a wasteland with nowhere to hide, strafe the lines.
Israel should have issued an ULTIMATUM to Lebanon & UNIFEL of 24-48 hours ONLY, if & when they failed this ultimatum Israel should act unilaterally !

Manmohan: naxalism the greatest internal threat
Rahi Gaikwad
Mumbai, October 11, 2009 14:28 IST
Updated: December 17, 2016 04:47 IST
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. File photo: Ramesh Sharma
In light of the recent spate of attacks by naxal groups, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Sunday termed naxalism "the greatest internal security threat to our country" and said the government was taking adequate steps "to deal with the menace."
Dr. Singh was speaking to journalists at a press conference held at the National Centre for the Performing Arts here.
Asked whether the Indian Air Force would undertake counter-offensive measures against naxal groups, he said: "We are not in favour of using India's armed forces … We have other instruments — the police, the paramilitary forces — which are capable of tackling this menace."
Defence Minister A.K. Antony has said there is no proposal to deploy the armed forces in anti-naxalite operations.
Reiterating Home Minister P. Chidambaram's call to the Maoists to "abjure violence," Dr. Singh said: "We are ready to talk with any group whether in Jammu and Kashmir or in naxal areas provided they shed the path of violence." He also drew attention to the reasons behind the growth of naxalism.
"The growth of naxalism in central India obliges us to look at what causes this sense of alienation among certain sections of the community, especially the tribal community. It could be indicative of the deficiencies in the pace of development. We are looking at that aspect, but groups of individuals have no right to take law and order in their own hands. The designs of these groups are well-known and we will take effective measures to counter them. We will see positive developments," Dr. Singh said.
He said there was no particular evidence or intelligence that naxal groups received funding from abroad. "Rumours are always afloat." The Maoists and other such organisations are covered under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), he said.
Neighbourhood turmoil
As for the turbulence in India's immediate neighbourhood, Dr. Singh said: "We need a neighbourhood of peace and friendliness. The situation in Pakistan and Afghanistan is not what it should be. The role of terrorist groups is a matter of concern to all of us. We must take steps to curb the consequences [of their actions]. The government and the people of Pakistan must realise the great harm the patronisation of terrorist groups has done to South Asia. If we work together to deal with this menace a [larger] good can come out of it."
Dr. Singh rubbished the statement of Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik that India was trying to spread terrorism. He called it "a false accusation."
Responding to questions on the success of Indian diplomacy in the aftermath of 26/11, Dr. Singh said pressure from India and from other countries had borne some fruit.
"For the first time Pakistan agreed that terrorism had its origins in Pakistan. That the conspiracy leading to the Mumbai terror attacks was hatched in Pakistan. That the citizens of Pakistan were involved… There has been some progress. We would like this progress to be carried further," he said.

Zulkosky brings the total number of women in Alaska's Legislature to 19, which Legislative Research Services says is the highest number to serve in any one Legislature since statehood.
Former U.S. Sen. Mark Begich was among those who watched Zulkosky's swearing in. Zulkosky once worked for Begich.
He says with more women in the Legislature, "maybe they'll get some things done now."
Begich said last summer that he was considering a run for governor. When asked Friday if he was any closer to making a decision, he said no.
Women in the Alaska Legislature are breaking barriers.
Once the House's newest member, Tiffany Zulkosky, is sworn in on Friday, the Alaska Legislature will have 19 women. According to Legislative Research Services, that will be the highest number of women who have served in any one Legislature since statehood.
Senate Minority Leader Berta Gardner, an Anchorage Democrat, says that's wonderful. But she notes that females comprise about half of Alaska's population. Women will comprise roughly one-third of the 60-member Legislature.
Still, as of January, the national average for women serving in Legislatures across the country was 25 per cent, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
The number of women lawmakers has inched up in Alaska in recent years.

Altanius orlovi je druhem primáta, jehož fosilní pozůstatky pocházejí ze spodně eocenního Mongolska. Jedná se o jediný druh rodu Altanius. Dochované čelisti altania zachovávají primitivní zubní vzorec 2.1.4.3, anatomií zubů se altanius podobá zčásti jak některým omomyoidům, tak plesiadapiformním savcům. Druh vážil asi 10 gramů.

Společně s pozdně paleocenním druhem Altiatlasius koulchii, jehož pozůstatky byly objeveny v Maroku, patří Altanius mezi nejstarší známé zástupce euprimátů. Pozůstatky obou těchto rodů jsou však doposud jenom velmi fragmentární. Oba nálezy představují vrcholové skupiny tzv. neviditelných linií ("ghost lineages"), tedy linií, které buď nejsou podpořeny dostatečným množstvím fosilních nálezů, případně je současná věda neumí ve známém fosilním materiálu detekovat. Doposud chybějí fosilní nálezy přímých předků raných primátů; nejstarší primáti, které lze jasně spojit s moderními formami, se bez předchozích přechodných forem objevují v ložiscích z časného eocénu.

Oba rody mohou ležet blízko původu pozdějších forem primátů. Altanius je obyčejně pokládán za druh ležící blízko vydělení adapoidních a omomyoidních primátů, obě skupiny představují rané eocenní euprimáty. Morfologické analýzy s rodem Cantius (primitivní adapoid) a Teilhardina (primitivní omomyoid) ukazují, že Altanius zachovává primitivnější znaky než adapoidi nebo omomyoidi. Altanius a Altiatlasius bývají hodnoceny jako rody incertae sedis.

Day 2 December 6 - Arrive in Tel Aviv
Day 3 December 7 - The Galilee
Worship as you sail across the Sea of Galilee. Visit Capernaum, the center of Jesus' ministry in the Galilee, and visit the synagogue built on the site where Jesus taught (Matthew 4:13, 23). On the Mount of Beatitudes, contemplate the "Sermon on the Mount" (Matthew 5-7). Explore the Church of the Loaves and Fish at Tabgha, the traditional site of the feeding of the 5,000 (Luke 9:10-17). See the Chapel of the Primacy, where Peter professed his devotion three times to the risen Christ (John 21). In Magdala, once home to Mary Magdalene, visit a recently discovered first-century synagogue. Recall Jesus' baptism by John the Baptist at the Jordan River.
Day 4 December 8 - Cana, Nazareth, Tel Megiddo & Caesarea
Visit the Franciscan Wedding Chapel in Cana, the site of Jesus' first miracle, before continuing on to Nazareth, Jesus' boyhood home (Matthew 2:23). Look out over Tel Megiddo (Armageddon) to view one of the most important archaeological sites in Israel. Today's last stop is Caesarea, a center of the early Christians, where an angel visited Cornelius, the first Gentile believer (Acts 10), and where Paul was imprisoned for two years before appealing to Caesar.
Day 5 December 9 - Beit Shean, Jericho, & Qumran
Start the day in Beit Shean, a city continuously inhabited for over 5,000 years. The uncovered ruins date back to the Greek/Roman city that was part of the Decapolis of Jesus' day. See colonnaded streets with marble sidewalks, Roman public baths, and a theater. As you stop in Jericho to view the ruins of the city conquered by Joshua (Joshua 6:1, 2, 20), in the distance, you can see the traditional site of the Temptation of Jesus (Matthew 4:1-11). Continue to Qumran, where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in 1947.
Day 6 December 10 - Bethlehem & Jerusalem
Day 7 December 11 - Jerusalem & the City of David
Begin your day with a group picture taken from the Mount of Olives, where Jesus ascended into heaven (Acts 1:9-12). Walk the Palm Sunday Road and pray in the Garden of Gethsemane and envision the scenes of the night before Jesus' crucifixion (Matthew 26:36 - 44). Continue to Mount Zion to visit the House of the High Priest Caiaphas, where Jesus was questioned the night of His betrayal (Matthew 26:57). Meditate on the events of the Last Supper as you visit the traditional location of the Upper Room (Mark 14:12-26). After lunch, wander through the excavations of the City of David. Explore Hezekiah's Tunnel, an amazing engineering feat that was dug from both ends and met in the middle (Note: Those who are claustrophobic may want to meet the group at the other end of the tunnel)! Visit the Pool of Siloam, recently uncovered at the foot of the City.
Day 8 December 12 - Leisure Day (Masada/Dead Sea Option)
Today, you have free time to explore on your own or you may choose to visit Masada and the Dead Sea (additional charge). Ascend by cable car to Masada, Herod's legendary mountaintop fortress, which became the last desperate stronghold of the Jewish Zealots against the Romans. You can still look down on the remains of the Roman camps and the siege ramp below. End your day with a dip in the salt and mineral-laden waters of the Dead Sea.
Day 9 December 13 - Jerusalem & the Old City
Explore ancient Jerusalem at the Teaching Steps and the Western Wall. View the Pool of Bethesda, where Jesus performed the Sabbath miracle (John 5:1-18). Sing a hymn in the Church of St. Anne and experience its rich acoustics. Visit Herod's Antonia Fortress, where Jesus appeared before Pontius Pilate (Luke 23:1), and follow in Christ's steps on the Via Dolorosa ("the Way of the Cross"). At the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, take time to reflect on His sacrificial love. Visit the Garden Tomb for a time of reflection and communion.
