Five suspects, aged 22-28, had raised funds and "acquired several products used in the production of homemade bombs"
The emir of the terrorist cell had made several contacts with high-ranking leaders of Daesh in the Sahel-Sahara region
RABAT: Moroccan police said Wednesday they had broken up a cell linked to the Daesh group in the port city of Tangiers, arresting five people suspected of planning cross-border attacks.
The suspects were planning "to carry out remote-controlled explosions targeting security installations and personalities, as well as public buildings hosting Moroccan and foreign citizens," said the Central Bureau of Judicial Investigation (BCIJ).
The five, aged 22-28, had raised funds and "acquired several products used in the production of homemade bombs," it added, in a statement carried by the official MAP news agency.
Security forces seized "bottles containing nitric acid and other suspect liquids as well as nails, electric wires and six gas cylinders" which could be used for bomb-making, it added.
They also found knives, military-style uniforms, a Daesh flag and portraits of its chief in the Greater Sahara, Adnan Abu Walid Al-Sahrawi, reported killed by French forces in mid-September.
"The emir of the terrorist cell had made several contacts with high-ranking leaders of Daesh in the Sahel-Sahara region," the statement added.
The announcement came weeks after Morocco said it had arrested three members of a Daesh-linked cell in the country's south, followed by four more members days later.
They were accused of plotting attacks and assassinations.
Since 2002, Moroccan security services have dismantled more than 2,000 extremist cells and made over 3,500 arrests linked to terrorism, according to BCIJ figures published in February.
The country has largely been spared jihadist attacks since 2003, when five suicide attacks killed 33 people and wounded scores more in the economic capital, Casablanca.
But in 2018, two Scandinavian tourists were murdered by Daesh-linked militants during a hiking trip in the High Atlas mountains.

US plans to reroute $67 million in aid toward Lebanon's armed forces /node/2014206/middle-east
Washington is the biggest foreign aid donor to Lebanon
More than half of Lebanon's 6 million people have fallen into poverty
WASHINGTON: The United States plans to reroute $67 million of military assistance for Lebanon's armed forces to support members of the military as the country grapples with financial meltdown.
According to a notification sent to Congress, the State Department intends to change the content of previously appropriated foreign military funding for Lebanon to include "livelihood support" for members of the Lebanese military, citing economic turmoil as well as social unrest.
"Livelihood support for (armed forces) members will strengthen their operational readiness, mitigate absenteeism, and thus enable LAF members to continue fulfilling key security functions needed to stave off a further decline in stability," said the notification to Congress, seen by Reuters.
Washington is the biggest foreign aid donor to Lebanon. US officials had pledged additional support in October.
The news was praised in Washington. "It is in the United States' national security interest to help these servicemen make ends meet and continue supporting the Lebanese people, and I'm really glad to see the administration putting our security assistance dollars to Lebanon toward that goal," Democratic Senator Chris Murphy said in a statement.
Sunni Muslim leader Saad Al-Hariri announced his departure from Lebanese politics this week, opening the way for the Shiite Hezbollah to extend its sway over the country.
Hariri's departure opens a new phase in Lebanon's politics, governed by a system of sectarian power-sharing, and adds to uncertainty in a country suffering a financial crisis that marks its biggest threat to stability since the 1975-90 civil war.
More than half of Lebanon's 6 million people have fallen into poverty. The World Bank says it is one of the sharpest modern depressions, with the currency plunging more than 90 percent and the financial system paralyzed.
Discontent has been brewing in the security forces as Lebanon's currency has slumped, driving down soldiers' wages. Many have taken extra jobs, and some have quit.

Should the Beirut port blast site be turned into a place of remembrance? /node/2014016/middle-east

A design project envisions a museum, sound-therapy space and amphitheater where the deadly explosion occurred in 2020
Sultan El-Halabi was inspired by New York's 9/11 memorial to imagine a place of remembrance for Lebanon
DUBAI: For Sultan El-Halabi, Aug. 4, 2020, began like any other day in Beirut. He was driving with his mother from their hometown of Chouf to the Lebanese capital, where they checked into a sea-facing hotel to rest.
But shortly after 6 p.m., El-Halabi's mother said she felt a strange rumbling sensation. El-Halabi crossed the room to the balcony to investigate the cause when all of a sudden, the entire window frame flew off, collapsing right in front of him. They were both lucky to escape uninjured.
"No one could have expected that to happen," El-Halabi, a 23-year-old architecture graduate, told Arab News from his base in Dubai, more than a year on from the Beirut port blast — a disaster that killed over 200 people and left some 300,000 homeless.
The scars from the blast remain visible on the city skyline. (AFP)
"I remember the view of the city afterward. They were warning people at the hotel to stay indoors because acid or chemicals could be in the air. The sky started changing color. It was more reddish. It was like a war zone. Everything, in just one second, was completely gone."
More than a year later, the scars remain visible on the city skyline. What is less visible are mental scars the blast has left on those who survived and who lost homes, businesses and loved ones.
"In Lebanon now, you should just live your day as if it's your last," El-Halabi said. "Always stay connected with your loved ones because you never know what could happen."
The tragedy motivated El-Halabi to base his senior graduation project at the American University in Dubai on restoring the devastated port, transforming it into an accessible, multi-functional and job-creating site that can be "given back to the people."
His project, named "Repurpose 607," envisages replacing the five damaged warehouse plots with a memorial museum, a sound-healing therapy space, an amphitheater and an underground parking area.
"Everything, in just one second, was completely gone," said Sultan El-Halabi, referring to the port tragedy. (Supplied)
The site would also feature a library, offices and a cafe, while a raised, circular footpath would offer visitors an overview of the port.
Flooded with natural light, the sound-healing therapy building would offer meditation and cognitive behavioral sessions to help those suffering with post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of the blast.
"For many people, until this day, if they hear a slight bang or any weird noise, they would always refer to the explosion or take cover," El-Halabi said. Sound therapy could help many traumatized Beirut residents find calm and closure.
The proposed memorial museum would include a timeline of Beirut's history up until the day of the blast and the names of its victims engraved on a large triangulated stone.

El-Halabi likens this tribute to how Americans honored the dead in New York following the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
"They did not rebuild where the Twin Towers were located," El-Halabi said. "They dedicated that plot of land to the people and they transformed it into a beautiful memorial place to make sure that people's memories would live on forever. It kind of inspired me to do something similar, but for Lebanon."
The proposed site would have pedestrian paths as well as greenery and seating areas to offer space for quiet reflection away from the city traffic. A basement area would also be built to include a gallery for Lebanese artists to showcase their work.

Aesthetically geometric and bold, it is a place designed to benefit the people, to help them "to overcome the trauma and for them to see the beauty in the site rather than always fearing it," El-Halabi said.
In his design, only one crucial element of the site remains untouched and preserved — the massive grain silos, which experts claim shielded the city from further damage. "It symbolizes strength and empowerment," El-Halabi said. "It's proof to the world that we could overcome any obstacle that we face."
The young architect acknowledges it could take time for traumatized residents of the Lebanese capital to feel emotionally ready to visit a renovated site. "Of course it could be controversial," El-Halabi said.

"Many people have different opinions and you can't change them so easily. Everyone has their own freedom to view things the way they're supposed to. But, I am able to at least enlighten them with the advantages behind this proposal."
As a student embracing cutting-edge digital technology, El-Halabi admired the ideas of pioneering architects like Antoni Gaudí and Frank Gehry, and especially Santiago Calatrava, who designed the falcon wing-shaped UAE pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai.
The idea has been called "clever and thoughtful." (Supplied)
Having lived almost all of his life in Dubai, El-Halabi says he has also been heavily influenced by his ever-evolving urban surroundings — considered one of the world's most dramatic and experimental cityscapes.
"It all started with dunes," he said, reflecting on Dubai's astronomical growth over recent decades. "They were able to convert the UAE into a heavenly place. It inspires me a lot. It shows that, in such a short time, nothing is impossible."
He also subscribes to the notion that architecture is more than its stylistic elements, and should ultimately work to enhance people's lives.

"It's about finding the missing satisfaction of what people need and trying to provide it to them," he said. "Architecture is more than just designing or placing a building. You need to take into consideration the people and provide facilities for them. It also needs to fit in perfectly with its surroundings."
In October last year, as part of Dubai Design Week, "Repurpose 607" was among 60 submissions that made it to the MENA Grad Show, where graduates from across the region present their "design meets purpose" projects that address social, health and environmental issues.
"It's an architectural solution that goes well beyond architecture," said Carlo Rizzo. (Supplied)
Carlo Rizzo, the show's 2021 edition editor, praised El-Halabi's project, describing it as one of the "top entries."
"Repurpose 607 struck me first of all for its empathy," Rizzo told Arab News. "It's an architectural solution that goes well beyond architecture. It looks at the built environment as a platform for building resilience in our communities and takes mental health and wellbeing as a starting point.
"Repurpose 607" was among 60 submissions that made it to the MENA Grad Show. (Supplied)
"To remember the victims and transform the site into a place of healing is not just a clever and thoughtful idea, but an urgent solution addressing a very real need."
El-Halabi, who currently works for a Dubai-based architectural firm, still hopes to see his Beirut port project brought to life some day.
"I've been to Lebanon two times since the explosion," he said. "Every time I pass by the port, I always picture how it would look in real life, trying to see my project being built there. It could have potential."

Iran nuclear talks pause as diplomats confer with capitals /node/2013996/middle-east

VIENNA: Talks to salvage the tattered 2015 nuclear deal with Iran have paused while diplomats return to capitals for political consultations, European officials said Friday.
"January has been the most intensive period of these talks to date," British, German and French negotiators said in a joint statement. "Everyone knows we are reaching the final stage, which requires political decisions."
Russia's representative at the talks, Mikhail Ulyanov, said the meeting was expected to resume next week.
The United States pulled out of the Vienna accord in 2018 under then-President Donald Trump and reimpose heavy sanctions on Iran. Tehran has responded by increasing the purity and amounts of uranium it enriches and stockpiles, in breach of the accord.
US President Joe Biden has signaled that he wants to rejoin the deal, which is still supported by Russia, the three European powers and China.

Syrian fighters search for Daesh sleeper cells near prison
About a half-dozen Daesh fighters surrendered Friday morning, among scores of militants hiding in a basement in the northern section of the prison
Daesh group's Jan. 20 attack on the prison was the biggest military operation by the extremist group since the fall of their self-declared caliphate in 2019
BEIRUT: US-backed Kurdish-led fighters searched Friday near a Syrian prison for Daesh group militants as dozens of armed extremists holed up in a small part of the jail, a Kurdish official said.
About a half-dozen Daesh fighters surrendered Friday morning, among scores of militants hiding in a basement in the northern section of the prison, according to Siamand Ali, a spokesman for the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces.
He would not confirm or deny a report by the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor, that SDF fighters discovered the bodies of 18 of their comrades inside Gweiran prison, also known as Al-Sinaa prison, in northeast Syria on Friday.
Daesh group's Jan. 20 attack on the prison was the biggest military operation by the extremist group since the fall of their self-declared caliphate in 2019. It came as the militants staged deadly attacks in both Syria and Iraq that stoked fears that Daesh may be staging a comeback.
The weeklong assault on one of the largest detention facilities in Syria has turned the city of Hassakeh into a conflict zone. The Kurdish-led administration declared a curfew and sealed off the city, barring movement in and out.
Thousands of people in Hassakeh were displaced in recent days because of the fighting.
The SDF claimed Wednesday it had regained full control of the prison — a week after scores of militants overran the facility. The attackers allowed some to escape but also took hostages, including child detainees, and clashed with SDF fighters in violence that killed dozens.
The SDF had said that between 60 and 90 militants were hiding out in the northern section of the prison.
Ali said the militants are in the basement of a two-story building and that those who remain inside are refusing to surrender. "Our units are surrounding the building and are trying to convince them to surrender," he said.
The Observatory said SDF fighters are betting that more time will force Daesh militants to surrender as their food dwindles.
The Hawar News Agency, ANHA, an online Kurdish news service, reported that several automatic rifles, a rocket-propelled grenade and hand grenades were confiscated from the Daesh gunmen who surrendered Friday. It added that SDF fighters are conducting search operations in the prison as well as several Hassakeh neighborhoods in search for Daesh sleeper cells.
The SDF said about 3,000 inmates have surrendered since its operation to retake the prison's northern wing began three days ago.
At least 300 foreign child detainees are believed to be held in the Gweiran facility. Thousands more, mostly under the age of 12, are held with their mothers in locked camps in other parts of northeastern Syria on suspicion of being families of Daesh members. Most countries have refused to repatriate them, with only 25 out of 60 countries taking back their children, some without their mothers.
The Britain-based Observatory put the death toll from the struggle at over 260, including over 180 militants and more than 73 fighters from the Kurdish-led force. At least seven civilians were killed in the fighting, the Observatory said.
The SDF said preliminary information put the force's death toll at 35.

6 dead, 30 missing after migrant boat sinks off Tunisia
TUNIS: At least six Africans trying to migrate to Europe died and an estimated 30 were missing in the Mediterranean Sea after their boat sank off the coast of Tunisia on Thursday, according to Tunisia's Defense Ministry.
Tunisian naval and coast guard forces retrieved the bodies, rescued 34 survivors and are searching for the people listed as missing, the ministry said in a statement. The survivors told rescuers that the boat had 70 people on it and they were headed for Italy, the ministry said.
The boat had left from neighboring Libya and sank about 40 kilometers (24 miles) off the Tunisian town of Zarzis, near the Libyan border, it said.
The survivors included people from Egypt, Sudan and Ivory Coast, according to Mongi Slim, head of the Tunisian Red Crescent.
It's the latest of several migrant boat sinkings in the region. The central Mediterranean route, which runs from North Africa to southern Italy, is the busiest and deadliest migration route to Europe. People travel from Libya and Tunisia in crowded boats and at the mercy of the smugglers they pay to get them across the sea.
About 60,000 people arrived in Italy by sea last year, and some 1,200 died or disappeared on the journey, according to the United Nations refugee agency.
The Tunisian Defense Ministry said authorities thwarted eight boat migration trips in the last 48 hours off the coast of the city of Sfax, and 130 people from Tunisia and sub-Saharan Africa were detained.

Whenever I write about using productivity to achieve your goals and become successful in different areas of your life, I focus on various tools, methods, and techniques that I've experimented with, that have drastically increased my productivity.
That's is all nice and dandy, but as I was going through my articles, I noticed that I hadn't placed enough emphasis on this one crucial thing because I assumed that we all know it's important.
People who personally know me are probably rolling their eyes at this point, as I'm the first person to settle on my hours of sleep, or for preparing meals, to make sure I squeeze out a couple of extra hours which I can dedicate to important projects.
Of course, I don't consider this settling but rather optimizing.
Before you call me a hypocrite for writing this piece, know that I've decided to write it for myself as much as I am writing it for you.
I need this public reminder. Maybe you do too.
Before I continue and suggest a couple of things you should have in mind to fix this problem, we briefly need to reflect on the main reason why we do this.
The main reason why we continue to neglect our health is that we don't see the consequences right away. After all, we're too busy to make a proper meal or sleep for 8 hours at night.
If you were to get diabetes, cancer or heart disease three days after neglecting sleep or food, you wouldn't let even one full day pass without making up for the sleep, or eating a veggie.
Since we don't see a serious consequence right away, or even in a weeks ahead, we are more likely to continue doing it.
So, instead of showing you another tip on performance or productivity that gave me results, today will be a bit different.
First, you need to make a deal with yourself that no matter what happens in your life, health comes first.
And when I say this, it means that you take care of yourself first, before you engage in anything else. Just like in the airplane, you should place the oxygen mask on yourself first, before anyone else.
I won't tell you to sleep for 8 hours every night. Or when to wake up. That's entirely up to you.
Instead, your goal should be to find the right time to go to bed and the right time to wake up, so you get enough rest and feel energized.
Take into account your current circumstances and lifestyle.
For me as a single guy, living alone, who has his own online business, compared to someone with a family, with careers, it's completely different.
Personally, 6–6.5 hours of sleep, plus a 30– 60-minute nap during the day works just fine for me.
If you haven't slept well today, do yourself a favor, and go take a brief nap (if you can), just to make it up, at least a little.
At least four to six hours before you go to sleep, you should stop drinking coffee and alcohol, because it will mess with your sleep.
Since you are about to sleep for 6–8 hours straight, your body will need a lot of hydration; that's why you should drink at least one glass of water before bed, and one when you wake up. If you have been drinking, make that two glasses.
Instead, have a small snack, like nuts and glass of milk, so you don't wake up hungry.
Exposing yourself to blue light from the majority of devices (your phone, computer, tablet) has a negative impact on your sleep quality.
And pay attention to the room temperature, preferably you would want to sleep in a colder room.
In case you didn't know, word DIET doesn't mean food you need to eat to lose weight, it just the sum of food consumed by a person or other organism.
I don't know what your goals are, but just make sure you don't have disbalance in your eating habits.
Skipping breakfast and being in a rush, so you eat something sugary which elevates your energy, and then you have a sudden drop so you reach a point of decision fatigue.
Smaller, balanced meals throughout the day should provide you with enough energy and help you maintain your health.
That should be the primary goal of your diet, not a six-pack.
As a tip, I suggest that you remove anything that doesn't support your health from your environment. And replace it with things that do.
Instead of having candies lying around, get some baby carrots. Make it easy for yourself.
Also, place a water bottle in front of you and try to drink 2–3 liters (60–100oz) a day.
You can even add slices of lemon, cucumber, pieces of ginger (the spice, not the person) and mint — this will speed up your metabolism and clear your skin.
The sedentary lifestyle is slowly killing us. And we are not even noticing it.
Try to add a physical activity (if you already don't have one) in your life.
It doesn't have to be a gym or running. And it doesn't have to cost a lot of money.
It can be pilates, yoga, jogging, walking, cliff climbing, hiking.
Ditch the TV and Social Media, download a podcast and go for a walk.
You can make it a habit to go for a walk and hit a certain number of steps in a day, trust me; you will thank yourself.
You will hit two birds with one stone.
That's it. Just a couple of reminders.
I'm not a health and fitness guru who will advise you to become a raw vegan and devote your life to staying fit and healthy.
These are just the basics any human needs to know if they want to keep their body and mind in a good shape.
Worry not, after this article I will go back to my regular hacking of performance and productivity, but I wanted to make sure that this doesn't go unnoticed because it's the most crucial thing you can do for yourself and by default the goals you want to pursue.
It's easy to get side-tracked and neglect yourself.
But it's also simple to keep this on the mind if you build a simple system that works for you.
Your health > Everything else.


In china, massage is an ancient adjuvant therapy to improve health condition and treat disease as well as chronic kidney disease (CKD). In the process of people accepting massage, massage technician will use their hands to push, press, knead and nip people's skin, muscle and bone with certain operations. This therapy can help promote kidney patients' blood circulation and improve muscle condition.
What are the benefits of massage for kidney disease?
- Promoting blood circulation: massage can help expand blood vessel, and promote blood circulation. While this function can improve body's partial nutrient condition, and it can promote partial metabolism and is beneficial for excreting wastes. Besides, this is also helpful in regulating blood pressure.
- Removing pain and discomforts: this is a major benefit that massage can take to body health. Massage can improve muscle and nerve function, while this can ease muscle tension and promote toxin excretion.
- Regulating nerve condition: massage can also improve nerve function, because it can stimulate nerve excitability and have the function of sedation.
What are the operation methods of massage?
There are five major operation types in massage. They are the class of pushing and kneading, pressing and patting, pinching and grasping, shaking, exercise. While every type can also be divided into many operation methods. And different types aim at acting on different parts of our body, and they also have their own effect.
What are the contraindications of massage?
For some cases, they should be careful in using massage therapy or avoid using this therapy.
Patients with infectious disease, septicopyemia, mental disorder, hyperpyrexia, blood disease with bleeding tendency, severe skin disease, are not suitable to use massage therapy.
Pregnant women and women in menstrual period should be careful when they accept massage therapy, because some parts and acupuncture point are not suitable to accept massage.
Besides, people with damage in their ligaments and bones should also avoid massage. And patients with severe damage in their organs should also be careful in accepting massage or avoid massage.
Massage can make patients feel relaxed after accepting this therapy, while this therapy will not take very obvious improvement to patients unless they take long-term treatment. Thereby, it is necessary for patients to be ready to accept this therapy for a long period.

That led to a massive all-out assault by the National Rifle Association (NRA) and the U.S. Sportsman's Alliance (USSA).
"Absurd," replied Robert Johns of the American Bird Conservancy, who explained that "the NRA continues to deliberately miscast the lead-versus-nonlead ammunition issue as an attack on hunting." There is nothing in the Constitution or in any federal court decision that would prohibit the banning of any specific kind of ammunition.
The NRA blatantly suggested the ban on lead shot "is designed to price hunters out of the market and keep them from taking part in traversing Iowa's fields and forests." For its "evidence," it pointed out the cost of non-toxic ammunition is higher than ammunition made of lead. However, the use of non-toxic shot results in only a 1-2 percent increase in total costs for hunters, according to a study conducted by the National Wildlife Research Centre, certainly not enough to justify the NRA's paranoid panic that non-toxic bullets will lead to a decrease in hunting.
Contrary to NRA and USSA statements, there are several hundred scientific studies that conclude that lead shot is a health and environmental danger.Lead can cause behavioral problems, learning disabilities, reduced reproduction, neurological damage, and genetic mutation. For those reasons alone, the U.S. bans lead in gasoline, water pipes, windows, pottery, toys, paint, and hundreds of other items.
"Wildlife is poisoned when animals scavenge on carcasses shot and contaminated with lead-bullet fragments, or pick up and eat spent lead-shot pellets[,]mistaking them for food or grit," the Center for Biological Diversity points out. As many as 20 million birds and other animals die each year from lead poisoning, says the CBD.
Humans can be poisoned by eating animals that have eaten the pellets from the ground or which have eaten decaying carcasses of birds that have been shot with lead ammunition. Iowa is one of only 15 states that don't have some regulation that bans lead in shot and ammunition. Most European countries ban the use of lead shot for hunting.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1991 banned the use of lead shot in all waterfowl hunting. The NRA screamed its opposition at that time. However, the ban didn't lead to a reduction of hunting or hunters, nor did it violate any part of the Constitution.
Lead on the dove killing fields isn't the only problem. An investigation by the North Dakota Dept. of Health in 2007 revealed that 58 percent of venison donated to food banks by the Safari Club contained lead fragments. During the past decade, 276 California condors were found to have had lead poisoning; there are fewer than 400 in the state. A ban on lead shot was enacted in 2007.
There are alternatives to using lead. Non-toxic bullets and shot are made from tungsten, copper, and steel, without the negative health problems. While some hunting advocates maintain that lead bullets are significantly better in the field, there is no evidence to suggest that "green" ammunition results in fewer kills.
Nevertheless, disregarding scientific evidence and facing NRA wrath, Branstad said he agreed with a legislative panel's decision to ignore the findings of the state's professional wildlife conservationists, who he said exceeded their authority, to restore lead shot hunting.

Wedding cards are usually given to be in a position to congratulate the soon-to-be newly-weds and covey tips to their future that was blossoming. A wedding should stop the word congratulations.
Ceremonies really should not be boring or something to create it all through. In the united states, both civil and religious ceremonies are regarded as legal.

Yes, weddings are magical.

So, to acknowledge the presence of those kids, plenty of folks would rather have their own wedding gifts composed like this. South Indian weddings are not the same as North Indian ones.

This means you are ready to build your first website or maybe put another one to your internet marketing fishing tackle. Well before you simply ask your spouse or friends what they believe you should identity your website read the tips in this first thing you should consider is what is the name of the web site, and stay sure to meet it together with your domain name. As an illustration if your web page is named Jelly Beans try to buy appropriate that has the words jelly coffee beans in this. Something like MyJellyBeans dot com or WhoLovesJellyBeans dot com. My guess are the sites jellybeans populate com is certainly taken. Ok let's begin how to pick a domain name. Common brand or use a brand name? Your biggest obstacle will be receiving the names you will be thinking of using. Most of the generic names like cars dot com and houses appear in com are taken. A few may be available for purchase but it costs an arm and a leg. We don't like the idea of using a company because they are branded ora backup write this means you legally cannot use them. Just like a domain known as MyMicroSoft populate com may for sure cause a law suit. But do not fret; there are numerous other household names you should use. Words like party, beer, wine and food are typical words which are not owned by anyone. There are many different names which might be still simply being created from the typical household brands. Hyphenated Brands? There are times when you may have the perfect name that is taken and you may need to think about applying hyphens in the name to create it unique. The best thing regarding hyphens is definitely the keywords will probably be separated but it will surely make it easier for the search engines to tell apart your keywords better. The reasons which i don't like hyphens is a large number of people definitely will forget the hyphens and also when someone explains to someone else with regards to your site they can easily leave out the hyphens when telling them. The main problem with these reasonsis usually that the people can type in the name with no hyphens and land on the competitor's web page. Short or Long Urls? This is a topic that can get either way as far as I'm worried. Today it is extremely difficult to obtain a short and meaningful domain name. Most people are forced to settle using a longer identity. I would alternatively pick a long name instead of using a great abbreviation. You need to use discountshoesandhandbags us dot com rather than dsah us dot com. This is really easier to bear in mind and they have all the correct keywords for the search engines. Employing Plurals, "The", and "My" Forms of the Domain Name Often when you are looking to buy a domain and the name is unavailable, the percibirse will recommend alternate forms of the term you typed. For example , should you wanted www. Toy dot com, and it was used, they will recommend forms like: Thetoy us dot com mytoy dot com toys populate com Ok you declare but these are not the names I wanted. Well sadly you are going to have to settle for something else. I have been noticing that many sites now have the prefix "My" or "The" and I do not think it is a poor idea of naming your site. Just be sure when marketing and advertising your site make use of full name just like MyFreeCoffee appear in com not simply FreeCoffee us dot com.

We've talked before about how systems benefit both you and your clients. You get a virtual assembly line that has a step-by-step process (for example the process of collating data before you ship it off to your accounting outsourcing team) that lets you easily identify where there are problems in your workflow. Your clients in turn receive a trustworthy accounting firm that always has their work done on time and to a Grade A level of quality.
Here's one of the great benefits to systems – they don't just have to be used purely for clients' files. They can be used to improve every aspect of your relationship with your clients – emails, phone calls, meetings, how they're greeted when they enter your offices – ensuring them a valuable and pleasing interaction with your firm every time.
Let's imagine two scenarios. In the Scenario #1 your client comes to your office for a meeting. You don't have accounting outsourcing, filing, etc. systems in place, never mind systems related to how you interact with your clients.
Nobody specific greets them, so they eventually have to go up to a desk to tell someone that they're there for a meeting. They're asked to wait. Then, when they have the actual meeting with you they find that you're not as prepared as they would like and that there isn't a defined agenda.
Now on to scenario #2 in your systems-oriented office. The client enters, finds that your office is humming along like a well-oiled machine. Your people, for example, clearly have the job of collating data for the accounting outsourcing team well in hand. They see a room full of people confident that they know what they are doing.
They are greeted by someone who is designated the task. Whether this is a Receptionist, a Client Relations Director, or just one of the staff who was picked to handle this interaction will of course depend on the amount of people you have working for your firm.
The greeter already knows the client's name and why they're at your office. They get them seated in whatever room you're holding the meeting in. They offer the client their favourite choice of beverage which they know from a database of clients' preferences (if this is the first time you've had the client visit your office your designated person will have called and asked the client's assistant the client's favourite brand of tea or coffee).
They're presented with a piece of paper clearly laying out the meeting's agenda, so they know that A) the meeting, being defined, isn't going to meander and waste their time and B) that your firm has done prep work to have the meeting revolve around them and their needs.
Scenario #2 certainly seems far more impressive, right? How may accounting firms can brag that they treat their clients like this every single time they interact? A documented system laying out the procedure for client interactions can be just as important to your firm's growth as is one relating to accounting outsourcing, client query information letters, or any other workflows that you can think of.
Professionally prepared food for longer meetings. In this case your system would involve adding your clients' food preferences (plus allergies or things they won't eat) to a database. Snacks for shorter meetings not around mealtimes will probably also impress clients.
Making sure you have your clients' preferred drinks available in a selection.
Having a well-appointed cubbyhole somewhere where your clients can feel free to check up on emails, print out documents, and so on.
Going beyond accounting to act as a one-stop-shop for out-of-town clients who have come in for a meeting. For example, being ready with various restaurant recommendations depending on a particular client's tastes, having dry cleaning services picked out near the client's hotel, etc. While they're more likely to use a hotel's concierge service than their accounting firm, it gives both you and your client bragging rights.
You get the idea. The key to all of this is to have your improved services in a step-by-step system that your designated Client Relations person can run through just like your accountants run through the steps of collating data for your accounting outsourcing team.
This of course is where outsourcing can help you. It gives you both time and money to put a client impression system into place. A system designed to wow your clients can be just as important as any other workflow you have in your office.


In this project, we used the Ethernet Shield based on the Wiznet W5100 chip.This chip provides all the TCP/IP stack transparently, turning the project very simple since there is no need to worry about the signaling schemes and controls for TCP/IP. It is worth to notice that there are other ethernet shields, simpler and cheaper, using chips that require to control the TCP/IP signaling via software implementation in the Arduino sketch.
The hardware configuration for this project is very simple: just connect the Ethernet Shield to the Arduino and connect a led in series with a 1 KOhm resistor between pin 6 of the Shield and ground (GND).
To control the Ethernet Shield, the Ethernet library is used . The communication between Arduino and the Shield is made using the SPI protocol, hence the need to import the SPI library as well. Remember that communication via SPI is done via pins 10, 11, 12 and 13 on the Arduino Uno, which cannot be used in the design.
where the MAC and IP addresses are defined by the vectors mac and ip created in lines 4 and 5.
After the initial setup, the program waits for a client connection and, when it detects it, it reads the characters sent to the server regarding the GET request made by the client though the browser.
The characters are received one by one and are stored sequentially in the ReadString variable. A conditional is used to limit the number of characters received at 100. At each character received, a test is made to check if it is an end of line (\n, an "ENTER"). In this case, a successful response is sent to the request of the client (HTTP/1.1 200 OK ), containing an HTML page with links to the turn on and turn off the led.
The links to turn on and turn off the led use the query strings ?ledon and ?ledoff so that the server can identify the command from the client. After responding to the request, a test is made to check if the address requested by the client contains one of these query strings, by checking the variable ReadString for the presence of the sequences ?ledon or ?ledoff. From this information, the led is turned on or off, and finally, the variable ReadString is restarted.
This way, it is possible to control the led from an access point to the LAN. It is also possible to control it via internet, configuring a port forward of the port 80 in the router to the IP associated with the Arduino and accessing the page using the public IP provided by the internet provider. However, it is worth mentioning that this setting does not take into account the any security issues, allowing anyone with the public IP to control the led via internet.

In "Feed" by M.T. Anderson, Titus is an ordinary teen when he travels to the moon to party over spring break.

"Tangerine" by Edward Bloor
Paul Fisher doesn't mind starting over in a new town, even if it is in a planned community called Tangerine. Strangely, the town lacks tangerine trees; sudden sinkholes and mud fires plague the once citrus-laden paradise. Beginning seventh grade in a new town gives Paul time to start over and maybe even find a group of friends. Despite being legally blind, Paul is a decent soccer player who views success as blending in. Paul's older brother Erik achieves automatic popularity as a star football player at the high school, but Paul recognizes a sinister side beneath his brother's slick persona.

As an outsider, Paul is the only one who can unravel the twisted truth, but only if he allows himself to see it. Especially recommended for fans of Loius Sachar's "Holes," this smart, sometimes satiric, tale of shadowy suburbia will attract 5th- to 8th-grade readers.

Her carefree nature is tolerated at first, but as anyone who has gone to high school knows, popularity is fleeting and soon the students turn on her. Stargirl's story is told to us by 16-year-old narrator Leo Borlock, who is torn between his feelings for her and wanting to be accepted by everyone else. Ages 12 and older.
