You have started out pleasurable your dream by starting a small enterprise. It's up and walking, a few people are visiting your website and income are taking place. But, something seems to be lacking. Sales are not growing like you concept they would. You aren't generating new customers or clients and are even dropping a few. If you do not turn this fashion round quickly, you can need to reflect consideration on last your door.
You suppose running a blog appears clean. All you have to do is locate a person to polish it up a bit and the phrases have to robotically pull for your customers or clients and drive some sales. Unfortunately, that on my own is a negative blog marketing method.
Every day, more authors, even the ones who have previously been enslaved via conventional publishers, are publishing books through self-publishing services (like Amazon and Kobo) because the author has greater manipulate over the procedure that manner. The hassle is that conventional publishers command a big part of the overall book sale (generally around 80%-eighty five% in keeping with this text on Huffington Post) due to the fact advertising, editing, printing, distribution and finding right cowl art are difficult and time-consuming jobs.
Every author is aware that one approach of increasing sales is to weblog and writers like to write, right? Some authors write about writing, others write about the style they are inquisitive about and nonetheless, others will write a personal blog that their target market can relate to. But, if the author determined that publishing the blog became all the advertising they needed to do, sales could be some distance and few among. The reality is that maximum authors do not have a substantial enough following (in particular for the primary few books) to generate the form of income they need to achieve success.
You wear plenty of hats similar to the writer in the instance. Most human beings pick a selected type of business because they have got a talent or dream that produces a saleable provider and/or product. Unfortunately, maximum do no longer consider they have got the talent required to marketplace their weblog correctly.
Sure, you have to create an interesting, appealing internet site, and you can even weblog about your product or services, but how exactly does that alone draw person for your digital door (or real door)?
Blogging will draw human beings in your commercial enterprise, but alas, a weblog will now not do the job by myself. Other blog advertising efforts should be made.
First of all, who's going to read your blog unless they recognize wherein to locate it? Some means of leading them to the records need to be in location earlier than your blog. Just like regular advertising and marketing, blog advertising is a complete technique by using which you generate a hobby in your provider (or product). It would not count how you get your traffic there (as long as it's felony and ethical), the ends, in this situation, to justify the approach.
Someone is obviously interested by the offerings you offer or the product you promote or you would not have long gone into business in the first area. These human beings, those steady clients or clients, are the primary humans you need to reach.
The self-published author, noted in the instance above, has to sell books when tens of hundreds of other human beings are seeking to do the same. The writer has to both find an area of interest and a set of human beings (target marketplace) with the intention to definitely purchase the book while it comes out.
The same aspect occurs along with your small enterprise. You understand what sort of human beings buy your services and/or products (target marketplace), all you have to do is let them understand it's available ready for them.
1. There are many blogs available and yours gets misplaced inside the background noise. It just takes an excessive amount of time to discover what you are seeking out. No one goes to spend a whole lot of time searching out your statistics. Most human beings will search for the perfect direction to locate what they want. Therefore, in case you do not unfold the word approximately your blog and it isn't always readily available in special places aside from your website, human beings won't go out in their way to discover it.
2. People will often overlook a blog. The advertisement may be complicated. People pass from one thing to any other quick and a weblog may be time ingesting. People need the facts approximately your service or product, what you could offer them and that they want the information comfortably to be had in locations they grasp out.
Your weblog and your commercial enterprise are private to you and it's hard to apprehend when human beings do not at once need to get right of entry to your offerings and/or product. You thought a weblog about what it way to you and what the service or product may want to do become enough. Finding out that it isn't should not motivate you to stop, though.
Blogging can be a very powerful tool… You simply need to make sure you add blog advertising and marketing to your overall small business advertising plan. If you do that, more humans will find out who you're and learn what you have to provide.

Parents who have entered debt review may feel that their kids are missing out on all the latest games and crazes (OK, basic spinners are fairly cheap). No-one wants to deprive their kids and stop them from having a little fun. Fortunately these days there are lots of options when it comes to free digital entertainment. It might be as simple as "crossy roads" on the phone or even as complex as full free computer games like Star Wars: The Old Republic.
These days many large, well-known brands give away older games in full and for free. No dodgy downloads with viruses. You can now get the games from the makers direct and for free. They know they can't make money off older games and want to keep their customers happy so they give away older games (why not?).
FREE STAR WARS GAME DOWNLOAD PAGE *you do have to download the game on the internet so you need internet and bandwidth etc.


I sat on the side of the stage, rubbing the wood of it with satisfaction. A true excitement rung in me like I hadn't felt since I were a carefree child. The Seviis roared from their cages; four beasts the size of a van, each with unique properties from their adapted element. Crowds had gathered from the ads I'd put out on the town to celebrate my home's festival, but it still felt lonely, even with Rodriun here. I supposed I just hoped for someone else to share the thrill that I did from this. I shook the thought from my head. I would not allow a sign of weakness even to myself.
The disappointing turnout to the Seviis hunt had drastic consequences. My band of amateur warriors and volunteers could not track all of the Seviis quick enough; they have reproduced and reports of occasional attacks on small villages throughout the land have not only tarnished my name, but the name of the school for its lack of oversight of such a dangerous game.

European Parliament votes to limit crop-based biofuels
The European Parliament voted on its first reading of the revised Renewable Energy Directive on 17 January 2018, choosing to limit the use of crop-based biofuels and boost second-generation biofuels. The draft legislation says that crop-based biofuels should not exceed 7% of road and rail fuel, the consumption level as of 2017.
The draft calls for a 12% target for renewable transport fuels and includes a 10% blending mandate for advanced biofuels, renewable transport fuels of non-biological origin, waste-based fossil fuels and renewable electricity. As well as limiting use of crop-based biofuels, Parliament has also called for a complete ban to the use of palm oil and its derivatives by 2021.
The revised Directive will set the post-2020 renewable energy framework, and the role of biofuels has been one of the most contentious issues with some arguing that maintaining 7% target puts existing investments at risk, whilst others have argued that crop-based biofuels the should be completely phased out.
The Commission had proposed that food or feed crop-based biofuels should be reduced from 7% to 3.8% by 2030, but this provision was removed by the Parliament. Member States, however, are free to choose lower targets and can also distinguish between different types of biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels, "taking into account indirect land use change and other unintended sustainability impacts".
The European Parliament and Council will soon enter into Trialogue discussions to finalise the legislation, with the Council having reached its position last December.
For more information, see the European Parliament's Press Release or the Adopted Text.

Ghosts have been reported by every human civilization throughout history. They often come in the form of unseen presences, translucent apparitions, or even lifelike, full-bodied images of people or animals. Many believe that they represent the persistence of some sort of personality after death, but other explanations include the possibility that they're the visual memory of an event imprinted on an area, or even a glimpse into another time or parallel universe; while skeptics dismiss glimpses of ghostly phenomena as hallucinations and wishful thinking. They are most often associated with a location, but some individuals have claimed to have a ghost attach to them specifically, following them from place to place. There are arguments for and against each explanation for ghosts and hauntings, and it's even possible that each theory has its own place in reality. Whatever the case may be, to the people who have encountered them, ghosts seem as real as anyone, and many dedicated researchers continue to question the nature of their existence even into the 21st century.


L'Oréal has acquired augmented reality and artificial intelligence brand ModiFace for an undisclosed sum, with the aim of expanding its digital offering with innovative technologies throughout beauty experiences.
The Canadian company, which has worked with the likes of Estée Lauder and Sephora, develops technologies around 3D virtual make-up, colour and skin diagnosis.
L'Oréal's chief digital officer, Lubomira Rochet, hopes ModiFace will "support the reinvention of the beauty experience around innovative services to help our customers discover, try and chose products and brands".
The move further highlights the brand's dedication to ramping up its technology offering, after launching its sensory hairbrush last year. At the time, it announced plans to invest further into the tech market.
ModiFace will join L'Oreal's Digital Services Factory, a corner of the company dedicated to designing and developing digital services.
ModiFace will remain in Toronto while working closely with L'Oréal Advanced Research.
The news comes a year after competitor Olay launched its Skin Advisor, a web-based technology platform that uses artificial intelligence to help women learn more about their skin, what it needs and – of course - the right skincare products to help.
Last year, L'Oréal announced it would be re-organising its marketing teams around specialists who work together, in a bid to integrate with the business.

Q: iOS: How to use LaunchScreen.storyboard for multiple screen sizes? I use to have a launch screen image for every screen size, and the image differs from iPhone to iPad.
The image also is optimized to look perfect on any screen, because the launch screen USED TO have the possibility to put image for each size.
But Now that it is deprecated. We have to use LaunchScreen.storyboard and I don't know how to achieve the same thing with it!
How can I use this "good for nothing" storyboard to show different image for every device out there (iPhone, iPad, Portrait, Landscape). And why isn't this documented at Apple's ?
Thank you.

Death & displacement in Colombia, but silence from Washington – Lee Camp
A Colombian police officer patrols the area near the border with Venezuela, February 19, 2019 © Reuters / Edgard Garrido
Following a visit to the US by Colombian President Ivan Duque earlier this month, Redacted Tonight host Lee Camp spoke with two Colombian activists who painted a grim picture of life in Washington's top anti-Venezuela ally.
Though Washington has found Colombia a willing ally in its fight for regime change in Caracas, US involvement in Colombia's own sordid history of human rights abuses is rarely questioned, human rights activist Gimena Sanchez told Camp.
"The United States is the third actor in (Colombia's) internal armed conflict that hasn't been formally named," Sanchez said. "The US was the biggest supporter of Colombia in its whole counterinsurgency efforts and anti-narcotics efforts, and those efforts really helped to foment a lot of abuses."
Since Colombia's civil war kicked off in the 1960s, its government has used paramilitary forces to quash both leftist guerillas and narco traffickers, often with disastrous consequences for its native peoples, indigenous rights activist Erlendy Cuero Bravo said.
Also on rt.com Bogota says it has no clue about Bolton's puzzling '5,000 troops to Colombia' note
"Economic interests in our areas" mean indigenous people have been displaced as rival factions fought for control of natural resources, she explained.
The US backed the Colombian government as part of the Cold War and, from 1993 onward, as part of the 'war on drugs.' A peace treaty between the government and the guerrillas was concluded in 2016, but has not been fully implemented yet.
Some 6,000 extrajudicial killings have taken place during the conflict, as government soldiers came under pressure to up the body count, said Sanchez.
Also on rt.com Colombia, the death squads & the US' human rights double standard
War and unrest, as it turns out, proved a fine environment for US corporations to thrive in, free from those meddlesome health, environmental and human rights regulations they'd have to deal with back home. Chiquita banana, Coca-Cola and Exxon-Mobil have all been implicated in human and environmental abuses in the volatile Latin American state.
"Drummond Coal company from Alabama had employed paramilitaries to assassinate trade unionists," Sanchez said. Drummond is not the only coal company tied up in the conflict: Colombia's own national coal company has been blamed for diverting water supplies away from indigenous communities, leading to chronic malnutrition.
"If you have nine million total victims of the conflict...seven million of those being internally displaced...and none of that being taken-care-of or addressed, how is Colombia going to even help the Venezuelan migrants?" asked Cuero Bravo.
Also on rt.com Humanitarian aid for Venezuela is 'Trojan horse to provoke war' – Bolivian President Morales
Colombia is a country that has amazing talent and potential, but economic and political interference by outside factors have divided the society greatly, said Sanchez.
Washington is currently using Colombia as a staging area for "humanitarian aid" intended for supporters of US-backed self-proclaimed president Juan Guaido, raising the prospect of an armed incident on the border that could turn into open warfare.

CAESAREA, Israel, January 26, 2016 / LabStyle Innovations Corp. (OTCQB: DRIO), developer of the Dario™ Blood Glucose Monitoring System, today announced it is preparing to launch its FDA-cleared product in the United States in the first quarter of 2016. The national rollout in the U.S. follows the FDA's 510(k) clearance of the Dario in December 2015.
Direct-to-consumer sales through LabStyle's U.S. website, as well as through leading online retailers like Amazon, are slated to begin in the first quarter of 2016, with sales through various non-exclusive third party distributors and medical equipment suppliers expected to commence in the first and second quarters of this year.
An east-coast based North American headquarters for LabStyle and a west-coast based logistics and warehouse center are now being established and are expected to open during the first quarter to serve both the U.S. and Canadian markets. LabStyle is currently working with insurers to establish reimbursement.
"We look forward to the imminent launch of the Dario in the U.S. and expect to begin shipping product in the current quarter. Entering the world's largest market for blood glucose monitoring is an important milestone for LabStyle," stated LabStyle President and CEO Erez Raphael.
The Dario Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for the quantitative measurement of glucose (sugar) in fresh capillary whole blood. The Dario is intended for self-testing outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use) by people with diabetes at home to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control.
The Dario Blood Glucose Monitoring System consists of a device housing that includes a blood glucose meter and lancing device. The system also includes test strips, lancets, control solutions and a mobile application. The Dario meter does not require coding or separate batteries. The Dario meter is powered via the 3.5mm audio headphone jack of the smart mobile device. Users are instructed to insert the test strip into the meter, apply the blood or control solution to the test strip, after which the meter will process the test in approximately six (6) seconds and display the test result on the smart mobile device screen via the mobile application.
The Dario Blood Glucose Monitoring System uses Apple's iOS smart mobile device technology to view the glucose test results via a mobile application. This application is available for download via the smart mobile device's application store.
LabStyle Innovations Corp. (DRIO) develops and commercializes patent-pending technology providing consumers with laboratory-testing capabilities using smart mobile devices. LabStyle's flagship product is the Dario™ Blood Glucose Monitoring System. Dario™ received U.S. FDA clearance in December 2015 and received Europe's CE mark certification in September 2013. World rollout began in select countries in December 2013. LabStyle is pursuing patent applications in multiple areas covering the specific processes related to blood glucose level measurement as well as more general methods of rapid tests of body fluids using mobile devices and cloud-based services.

Poor workers could earn more without hurting businesses–and in fact, businesses could benefit.
Low-wage workers in California make less now, adjusted for inflation, than they did in the late 1970s. At the same time, the highest-paid workers earn much more–and the state now has more billionaires than any other.
If it's approved by the state legislature, a new law approved by California Governor Jerry Brown would help slightly close the gap between rich and poor. Following the example of about a dozen U.S. cities, including Los Angeles and San Francisco, Brown wants to gradually raise the minimum wage in California from $10 an hour to $15 over the next seven years.
It would be the largest win for the Fight for 15 movement in the country, and have sweeping impacts. Some critics have argued that it's risky, and that businesses might be hit so hard that workers end up losing their jobs. But research from the University of California's Center for Labor Research and Education suggests that isn't true.
The center recently did a comprehensive study of New York State, which is also considering a $15 minimum wage, and the researchers have also studied California cities and crunched some early numbers for the state as a whole.
Update: New York State also just struck a deal to increase the minimum wage to $15 an hour, which would be phased in by 2018 in New York City and a few years later in other areas.
"We take seriously the arguments on both side–both the minimum wage supporters and the minimum wage opponents, in looking at what happens when you raise wages," says Ken Jacobs, who chairs the Labor Center.
When wages go up, that's obviously a cost to business. But it also makes workers more likely to stay at jobs longer, reducing the cost of continually hiring new staff. Workers are also likely to be more productive. Because every company would have the same minimum $15 wage, the rest of the cost would go into price increases–but it turns out that price increases are very small, just 0.7% in New York, for example, spread over the five years that wages go up.
It would be the largest win for the Fight for 15 movement in the country and have sweeping impacts.
In other words, the poorest workers could earn more without dragging down the economy.
In California, workers with retail or restaurant jobs would be most helped by the increase in the minimum wage. More than a third of those who would be affected have children.
Some have argued that the Central Valley, which has lower wages than bigger coastal cities, would be hardest hit by a higher minimum wage. But the answer is more complex.
The poorest workers could earn more without dragging down the economy.
That's especially true because in the retail and restaurant industry–the jobs most likely to be affected–wages in the Central Valley are more similar to what servers or shop assistants earn in the rest of the state. Agriculture may be different, however, and an increase in wages may push forward more automation that's already happening.
If it works, and if New York's new minimum wage also moves forward, it may inspire other states to follow.

In the last few decades, skylight technology has undergone a vast revolution. The industry has transitioned from traditional, passive skylight design to more efficient active designs—such as solar tracking skylights.
Many consumers are hesitant to adopt skylights, because some poorly designed traditional skylights can actually increase energy costs. What they do not realize is that there are four key differences between traditional skylight and their solar tracking cousins which help to avoid these increased costs.
One area where traditional skylights are severely lacking is in their ability to protect your building envelope. Because they allow sunlight straight into the building, often without diffuser lenses or low emissivity coatings, the solar radiation can increase indoor temperatures, while their lack of proper insulation allows heat to escape from inside. These two elements are measured by solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) and U-Value. A side by side comparison of traditional and solar tracking skylights shows that solar tracking systems are 23% more efficient at preventing heat gain and 36% more efficient at preventing heat loss than traditional skylights.
Cheaper traditional daylighting systems often lack of proper weatherproofing. Ice dams and leaking are two issues they face, both of which can cause major structural damage if they go unchecked. Solar tracking systems avoid this by utilizing a well insulated, weatherproof design which minimizes the harmful effects of harsh weather patterns.
The goal of daylighting is to bring natural light inside of your building for as many hours as possible each day in order to reduce lighting costs and to provide a greater quality of light. Consider then that typical traditional skylights only provide between 4-6 hours per day of natural lighting. The hours of light provided is the key dividing factor between traditional and solar tracking skylights. Solar tracking systems combine GPS and solar power to follow the sun on its course through the sky, using a mirror array to direct sunlight inside for up to 10+ hours per day—nearly twice as long as their predecessors.
Another key difference between traditional skylights and their solar tracking cousins is their roof area requirement. The number of skylights required to effectively light a facility can differ wildly; solar tracking skylights require significantly less roof space to provide the same level of light as most traditional designs. Older flat skylights can take up to 10% of your roof space to provide adequate light, reducing room for HVAC units and other sustainable technologies such as solar panels and wind turbines. On the other hand, solar tracking systems require as little as 1-2% of your roof area to provide the same level of light.

People who know Rachael Cochrane like to joke that if the zombie apocalypse ever comes, they're heading to her house because she's basically self-sustaining. They're probably not far off. Between the large garden plot, the coop full of chickens and the recently added hive of bees, Cochrane has just about everything you need to survive if the dead ever start walking the earth. To complete the pioneer-woman vibe, Cochrane taps trees in her yard for maple syrup and grinds her own wheat for baking.
Farmington School District superintendent Jay Haugen will take an extended leave in June and July to spend more time with his wife, the district announced last week.

When Tim Giles took over the development now known as the New Sunrise Addition, there were few signs of life. There were nine occupied houses, and a lot of weedy lots. Started 10 years ago as Sunrise Ponds at the height of the local housing boom, the project had stalled and gone into foreclosure. Giles, a longtime developer in Farmington, bought it a few years ago from the bank and started making changes. He increased the lot sizes and did away with plans for an alley running behind the houses. That allowed him to push the homes farther back into the lots.

I'm getting soft in my old age. Or maybe it's my advancing middle age. Does that sound better? It probably does. I'm getting soft in my advancing middle age. I'm also getting soft in my middle. The two might be related. The unsettling reality of the situation is hitting me in several ways. It's increasingly clear I can no longer hope to ride my bike once a week and to come home from that long weekend ride ready to do anything more productive than collapse onto the couch. But, I mean, collapse onto the couch in the most vital and active way possible.
Teachers in the Farmington School District will get a 2.15 percent raise in each year of a new contract approved Monday by the Farmington School Board. Human resources director MaryAnn Thomas said the total package including benefits is a 7.6 percent increase over the two years of the deal. It will cost the district an additional $1.5 million in its first year and $1.6 million in its second year. The deal is retroactive to July 1, 2015, when the last contract expired.

How to use a calculated field to calculate overall response time?
Calculated fields are fields added to events at search time that perform calculations with the values of two or more fields already present in those events. Use calculated fields as a shortcut for performing repetitive, long, or complex transformations using the eval command.
The eval command enables you to write an expression that uses extracted fields and creates a new field that takes the value that is the result of that expression's evaluation. For more information, see eval.
Eval expressions can be complex. If you need to use a long and complex eval expression on a regular basis, retyping the expression accurately can be tedious.
Calculated fields enable you to define fields with eval expressions. When writing a search, you can cut out the eval expression and reference the field like any other extracted field. The fields are extracted at search time and added to events that include the fields in the eval expressions.
You can create calculated fields in Splunk Web and in props.conf. For information on creating calculated fields in Splunk Web, see Create calculated fields with Splunk Web. For information on creating calculated fields with props.conf, see Configure calculated fields with props.conf.
Calculated fields come fifth in the search-time operations sequence, after field aliasing but before lookups.
All EVAL-<fieldname> configurations within a single props.conf stanza are processed in parallel, rather than in any particular sequence. This means you cannot "chain" calculated field expressions, where the evaluation of one calculated field is used in the expression for another calculated field.
Calculated fields can reference all types of field extractions and field aliasing, but they cannot reference lookups, event types, or tags.
If a calculated field has the same name as a field that has been extracted by normal means, the calculated field will override the extracted field, even if the eval statement evaluates to null. You can cancel this override with the coalesce function for eval in conjunction with the eval expression. Coalesce takes an arbitrary number of arguments and returns the first value that is not null.
For more information about coalesce and other eval functions, see evaluation functions in the Search Reference.
When Splunk software evaluates calculated fields, it evaluates each expression as if it were independent of all other fields. You cannot chain calculated field expressions, where the evaluation of one calculated field is used in the expression for another calculated field.
In the following example, for any individual event, the value of x is equivalent to the value of calculated field y because the two calculations are carried out independently of each other. Both expressions use the original value of x when they calculate x*2.
For a specific event x=4, these calculated fields would replace the value of x with 8, and would add y=8 to the event.
Another example which involves the extracted field response_time. When it is first extracted, the value of response_time is expressed in milliseconds. Here are two calculated fields that make use of response_time in different ways.
In this example, two things are happening with the access_common sourcetype.
The second EVAL calculates a new field called bitrate for all sourcetype=access_common events. It is expressed in terms of bytes per second. Bytes is another extracted field.
You write that "You cannot chain calculated field expressions, where the evaluation of one calculated field is used in the expression for another calculated field." , though in the datamodel page, there is a comment at the bottom saying " Calculated fields processed in the order above, so ensure any dependent fields are defined first".
Another thing is that you write here that "Calculated fields can reference all types of field extractions and field aliasing, but they cannot reference lookups, event types, or tags." but there is a reference to tags in some field extractions.
I encountered those things in Performance data model Time sync extraction.


Allow Me to Introduce Myself.... PART TWO!!!
I'm Julie Albright, but you can me Jules or Jule, or just pain Julie.
And along with Addy I'm one of Katie's newest dolls.
But because of trying to introduce other dolls and a couple more lame excuses that humans usually give, it took FOREVER to actually appear on here. But I'm here now, so be excited!
Before you ask, yes, I'm on top of a car, don't ask how I got up here.
There are way too many ants to be standing or sitting on the ground.
Moving on... So I guess Addy did this whole, five facts about me thing? And now Katie wants me to do it too.
So I guess that's what I'll have to do. I'm sure the ants have been scared off by my awesomeness by now so let's do this!
Here comes fact number one.
I'm not trying to be mean or anything! I'm honest with them because I love them, but sometimes I guess I don't realize what I'm saying could be a little harsh.
But as epic as that fight was it left me with chew marks battle scars up both of my hands, arms, and holes in my cloth body.
which means I can't wear certain outfits or my stuffing will fall out.
3. I take hip-hop with Molly at her dance school, it's really fun!
I love busting out random moves like this one, just to see if Molly will follow along.
4. I'm a black belt in karate, so yeah, you should be terrified.
Like as in I barely make it over 17" inches.
Ugh guys! It's so annoying!
Even Connie's taller than me, and she's 12!
And Samantha's super tall, my eyes line up with her nose!
IF YOU TELL ANYONE ABOUT THAT I SWEAR YOU'LL BE SORRY!!!
Anyways, that's me. I hope you enjoyed getting to know more about this doll standing in front of the camera.
You can now say you've witnessed the rays of utter coolness that flow throughout my doll body.
Well, time to chill, see ya guys later.
I GOT THE DOLL!!! I was so shocked and thankful to hear my name called! Thank you so much to my teachers for casting me in this role even after my audition! It means the world to me <3 And a doll wasn't the only part I got, I also got cast in Snow and Waltz Flowers!
Thank you so much for the support and encouraging words everyone! I really appreciate it so very much! Here's to hoping your day is as epic as you are!
Congrats on the partsss! That must be super duper exciting :) Love Julie's character. I also love her "the ants are afraid of me" thing. Hahahaha!
Thank you Tess! I am, and also super shocked XD thanks, I had a lot of fun with it. LOL yep, that's Julie for ya XD Thanks for commenting!
CONGRATULATIONS KATIE! IM SOOOO HAPPY FOR YOU!
Yayyyy Julie! She's so cute!
Thank you SO much!!! You are so sweet :) Aww thanks!
Awww, she's adorable! I loved her introduction and I can't wait to see more of her. Congrats on the part!
liked it and I can't wait to write more stories about her :D Thank you!!!
Thank you Jewel! I'm SO excited about them! Thanks! I'm so glad you enjoyed it :) Oh no worries! I totally understand, I'm not sure why Blogger does that, I have the same trouble on some Blogger sites I follow as well. I don't usually have that kind of trouble with WordPress sites I follow, but I'm just not sure about switching LOL XD I do really appreciate that you still check my blog though!
JULIE?!??!?!? I was sooo wrong, lol!

In pursuit of a missing piece of his life, Roman, a stranger to Earth, finds himself in Phoenix, where the nightlife greets him with a bevy of eager women and a deluge of trouble, the likes of which he's never seen.
For FBI Profiler Olivia Waterhouse, her assigned serial killer case isn't just a job – it's personal. When her superiors discover her connection to the case, she's reassigned to a new case – one shrouded in secrecy.
A chance encounter with handsome Roman leads to a night of unbridled passion, but a series of disturbing events ends with one of them held prisoner in a clandestine government facility.
When they meet again deep in the bowels of a secret military building, the damage has already been done. Betrayal and half-truths have caused a rift between them. As they fight to regain trust and forge an escape plan, an alarming secret unfolds – a secret that will forever change the lives of one of the original Six Saviors.
In order to save themselves, both will have to trust each other, and in the process, they find out that their lives are far more intertwined than either could have ever imagined.

It's been almost a decade since I've had a baby bump, but I remember my desperate attempts to be fashionable throughout both my pregnancies like it was yesterday. For nine months, I lived in cotton maxi skirts, gaucho pants, stretchy wrap tops, and flip-flops. I could claim it was "California casual" but, honestly, it was the best I could do at the time. My greatest style statement was having a good manicure!

50 U.S. military members diagnosed with brain injury after Iran missile attacks
By Daniel Uria
Jan. 28 (UPI) -- The Defense Department said Tuesday that 50 U.S. military personnel have now been diagnosed with concussions and traumatic brain injuries after an Iranian missile attack on U.S. forces in Iraq earlier this month.
Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Thomas Campbell said 16 additional service members have been diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries since a report on Friday following the Jan. 7 attack in which Iran launched more than a dozen ballistic missiles at two Iraqi military bases where U.S. forces were stationed.
"Of these 50, 31 total service members were treated in Iraq and returned to duty, including 15 of the additional service members who have been diagnosed since the previous report," Campbell said. "Eighteen service members have been transported to Germany for further evaluation and treatment."
Campbell described the figures as a "snapshot in time" and acknowledged that the numbers may change.
"The department is committed to delivering programs and services intended to lead to the best possible outcomes for our service members who suffer any injury," he said.
Initially, President Donald Trump said there had been no injuries in the missile strike including one in Erbil and the al-Asad Air Base.
Iranian state media reported that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' Air Force launched the ground-to-ground missiles as part of its so-called Operation Martyr Soleimani in response to a U.S. airstrike that killed commander Qassem Soleimani.

The lists of 1415 and 1541 do not mention a fortification here.
Although known as a castle, this is a tower house, probably built sometime after 1584 by the Wallis family following a border commission recommendation that there be built a chain of forts to protect the frontier. It has been added to over the years and was restored in C19 by Thomas Bates. He had purchased the tower in a derelict state in 1806 from Nathaniel Ogle it having been gutted by fire some years earlier.
The tower has three storeys with an attic on top and a small projecting tower carried up the south wall, an interesting feature of which is the upper spiral stair, which was designed for use by a left handed swordsman. The entrance door has a date of 1594 inscribed on one side and leads into a barrel vaulted room, or basement, now divided into two. A newel, or spiral staircase leads to the upper floors. The attic roof seems to be original and is an unusual and interesting structure. The tower is a good example of a tower house and is very much in the Scottish tradition.
A huge chimney piece in the Court Room has the date 1619 with the initials of George Wallis and his wife Mary this is thought to be a later embellishment. Matthew Culley succeded to the estate in 1830. The Castle's ghost was exorcised in 1925, it had taken the form of "dragging footsteps and things that go bump in the night".
The Castle a Grade 1 listed building was sold to Alderman Weidner in 1924. It was sold again twice in the 1970s. The Castle sits in 25 acres of garden, arboretum, woodland and paddocks. It is a private residence.
Also known as, or recorded in historical documents as; Coupland Millfield; Copeland; Cowpland. In the civil parish of Ewart

Home Career When Your Manager does not Support Your Career Goals
When Your Manager does not Support Your Career Goals
By Rose O. Sherman, EdD, RN, FAAN
"No one can make us feel inferior without our consent."
— Eleanor Roosevelt
It happened again last week. One of our young, rising star nurse leader graduate students came to talk with me about a dilemma she was having at work. We had just met earlier in the day with her mentor who is a senior leader in her organization. The mentor was excited about her career potential and made suggestions about organizational development programs that my graduate student should attend to further develop her career goals. My student said very little in response to these suggestions but later told me that it was highly unlikely that her manager would support such a request. She has worked on her unit for the past four years. She will soon be finished with her masters degree. It becoming very clear to her that she will probably not be able to achieve the career advancement that she had hoped for on her own unit. The reason is that her manager does not support her advancement. She has verbally been told by this manager that she is not ready to move up in the organization. When questioned for specifics, the manager had little to offer in terms of suggestions. Her question to me was this What do you do when you love your unit and love your team but know that you will have to move on to move up? She already knew the answer to the question. She probably does need to look for opportunities outside her own unit. Fortunately, she works for a large health system and will likely have little problem finding good career opportunities. Not everyone is so lucky.
Nurse managers may not support the career goals of staff for a variety of reasons. These can include the following:
Fear of competition from a talented subordinate
Lack of security about one's own place in the organization
Jealousy that senior leadership has noticed the skills of a staff member
Concern about losing a clinically experienced and competent staff member
Feelings that the staff member is trying to progress too quickly on the career ladder
Flawed chemistry between the staff member and the manager
It is important in these situations for you to take the high road despite your disappointment and feelings of lack of support. Always behave professionally and never say negative things about the manager to other staff. Also do an honest assessment of where you are in your current role. Ask yourself if you really are ready for a promotion and have your work achievements reflected positively on your manager and team. If you are unable to immediately move into another role, it is important to find a mentor who will support your career aspirations.
What We Know about the Importance of a Supportive Manager
There is one consistent finding in the leadership research both in nursing and in other professions. The primary reason staff leave an organization, department or unit is a lack of support from their manager. In their research looking at nurse manager support of staff, Schamlenberg and Kramer found that support of the ability of staff nurse to continue his/her education and career goals was highly valued by nurses surveyed. While ultimately you must take responsibility for your career goals, a supportive manager can pave the way to greater career opportunities. One of the best pieces of career advice that I ever received was to always work for leaders who were very accomplished because they would be less likely to be threatened by the career success of a staff member. When interviewing for positions, you should consider this and look for managers who are known for recognizing the talent on their team and supporting their superstars. Also an aspiring nurse leader, this will be a important lesson for your own future. As a manager, you will want to know the career goals of your staff and be explicit in your desire to help staff achieve them. Kouzes and Posner, two well known leadership experts in the field of business, have noted that the most significant contribution that leaders can make for the future is develop their successors so they will adapt, prosper and grow. This is good advice for all nurse managers to remember.

Press Release - NewTek Unveils Next-Generation TriCaster 40
NewTek Unveils Next-Generation TriCaster 40
Entry-level live production system now offers range of new capabilities previously only available to big-budget, high-end broadcasters
SAN ANTONIO – June 12, 2013 – NewTekTM today announced the next-generation of its entry-level TriCaster 40, a complete HD multi-camera video production studio that enables anyone to create professional streaming television on a small budget. Version 2 of TriCaster 40 gives students, schools, corporate video departments, small organizations and communities, video bloggers, and independent producers unprecedented access to the same production capabilities used by major networks – including customizable animated transitions, network-style titles and graphics, improved file interoperability and much more.
"At NewTek, we are constantly striving to help people with ideas use video in new ways, so that they can tell stories and make a big impact when sharing them with the world," said Dr. Andrew Cross, Chief Technology Officer at NewTek. "Our next-generation TriCaster 40 gives the most budget-conscious storytellers a whole new class of professional tools, which if purchased individually, would each cost far more than the TriCaster 40 itself. This means that financial limitations no longer hamper creative storytelling. Anyone can use TriCaster 40 to turn a live event into a video production that rivals the pristine look of a network broadcast."
TriCaster 40: What's New
With a broad range of new production capabilities, TriCaster 40 now enables video producers to create stunning HD television-style video broadcasts. Users can look forward to:
· Creating more engaging content with network-style, highly designed visuals that deliver a polished, post-production look to live productions, in real time;
· Creating and customizing transitions and effects, using the now included Animation Store Creator to produce full color full motion overlays, audio for both directions and even warped video mapped against any 3D surface for the highest-impact presentations possible;
· Adding a dedicated title station inside the TriCaster, with the included LiveText application onboard for creating unique HD titles and graphics with hundreds of pre-loaded templates, displaying real-time data, and using vector-based drawing tools and extensive text options for designing custom graphics;
· Enhancing the viewing experience with new video formats, recording options and session resolutions to reach more viewers on the platforms they watch;
· Maximizing production efficiency and minimizing disruptions with new workflows for capturing to disk and exporting to external applications for the smoothest content creation; and,
· Improving visual quality and consistency, correcting for variances in the video signal on every input, and tightly calibrating white, black and color levels for every source to broadcast-acceptable standards with preview scopes.
Existing TriCaster 40 customers can purchase the TriCaster 40 version 2 software immediately for $995 US MSRP. From now until July 12, 2013, TriCaster 40 systems can be purchased for $4,995 US MSRP, with the option to upgrade to version 2 software for $995 US MSRP.

One of the most challenging aspects of migrating to a microservice architecture is deciding which pieces of the monolith to break off first into separate services. Architects must understand the business objectives, how the services function and how they will relate to the rest of the whole. Then, the team faces more challenges once the services are up and running. Operational complexity increases because each service may have its own languages, toolsets and infrastructure.
To help solve these and other problems that arise when moving to microservices, a new set of commercial monitoring solutions, from companies such as Dynatrace, have emerged on top of existing open source tools like Prometheus. By pulling in data from multiple sources via an API, such monitoring tools can provide a complete view of an application, from its traffic patterns on the network and the database statements it executes, to which container, platform and host a service runs on.
This comprehensive view can help architects determine how best to further break apart the codebase, for example. It can also help identify the technical root cause of a particular problem and provide additional context, such as how many users are impacted and in what regions to help remediate the problem faster, Grabner said.
One emerging best practice for breaking up a monolith into microservices that Dynatrace has observed among its customers is to give each service its own data store. If an application was supported by a big monolithic relational database, then an organization must first decide how to extract the data that is relevant for that service into its own data store.
Learn about use cases for cloud native monitoring tools, best practices for breaking down the database monolith, and how to tap into old and new systems to get the information teams need to make business-critical changes to an application.
1:48: How do you think of the DevOps evolution in the context of Dynatrace and its goals?
6:35: What are organizations doing in the background to make these jobs easier for the people who are building these services and may have different skill levels?
15:15: What are some of the ways you're hoping to improve upon your support for particular platforms and services going forward?
22:16: Can you tell us more about the Dynatrace architecture?
29:40: Can you tell us about Dynatrace University?

Protest Marks 11th Anniversary of Justin Teigen's Death After Police Encounter
By Unicorn Riot August 19, 2020 August 19, 2020
On August 19, 2009, the body of 24-year-old Justin Teigen was found in a recycling center after a disputed interaction with St. Paul Police officers.
Today, protesters in Minnesota are honoring Teigen's memory on the 11th anniversary of his death. Watch Unicorn Riot's live coverage from on the ground:
Last year, Unicorn Riot spoke with Toshira Garraway, who was engaged to Justin Teigen and planning to marry him when he was killed. Over a decade after losing her loved one, Garraway is still working to hold the St. Paul Police responsible for the deadly incident. She also helped found a group called Families Supporting Families Against Police Violence.
