Kwara Gov Prioritizes Capital Expenditures In 2023 Budget
Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on Wednesday laid the 2023 budget estimates before the state parliament, restating the administration's commitment to inclusive growth.
Fidel Info reports that the size of the 2023 budget is N189,436,248,054.00, with a recurrent expenditure of 49.1% and capital component of 50.9%, he said.
"This is a budget of economic expansion and sustainable development," the Governor said, adding that the fiscal document focuses on strengthening the current gains and is built around the Kwara State Sustainable Development Plan 2021-2030, Medium Term Sector Strategy 2021-2023 and citizens' need Assessments.
"Today, I stand before this Honourable House to present the 2023 Appropriation Bill. This fiscal document is as significant in its provisions as it is in expanding the gains of the past three years for maximum socioeconomic benefits of the state," according to the Governor.
"With the support of this House and the good people of Kwara State, our government has delivered on key campaign promises in education, healthcare delivery, provision of potable water, agriculture, poverty reduction, gender mainstreaming, youth and women empowerment, financial inclusion, workers' welfare, infrastructure, and rural urban development.
"Under us, Kwara has shed horrible indices and broken new positive grounds across development sectors. This is all due to our commitments to inclusive growth.
"Of particular interest are the recent positive data on healthcare delivery, poverty rate, unemployment rate, and fiscal management of the state. All of these show that Kwara is a lot better today than we met it.
"I'm glad to report that our investment in the premier hospital has earned the state university an accreditation to begin Medicine and Surgery for the first time.
"In the outgoing fiscal year, we expanded economic opportunities for the people and executed many impactful projects and programmes across sectors, while many are near completion.
"The commencement of the KwaraLEARN initiative has raised school attendance by 43% in four pilot local government areas of Baruten, Ilorin East, Ilorin West, and Offa. We have delivered a new waterworks at Dumagi, new and well-equipped Dental, Eye, Renal, ICU facilities, and an expansive new ward.
"The Garment Factory, Visual Arts Centre, Innovation Hub, General Tunde Idiagbon Bridge, Osi-Obbo Aiyegunle Road, Adeta-Yebumot-AlHikmah University Road, Ilesha Gwanara Road, Osi and Ilesha Baruba Campuses of KWASU, Oro General Hospital, Jebba Waterworks, among others, are all near completion.
"For the first time, we are 90% set to deliver a game-changing Electronic Management System (EMS) for our hospitals in Ilorin, Kaiama, and Offa. We have also completed the first radio station in Kwara North and 39 Digital Literacy Centres across the state."
The Governor said the new budget places more emphases on continuous infrastructural development, completion of ongoing road projects, agribusinesses, irrigation and mechanisation, workers' welfare, rural electrification, and improved water reticulation, among others. In the new year, the RAAMP road projects will begin full steam.
"So is the special agroprocessing zone that is supported by development agencies. In the new year, we will also implement the National Programme on Food Security (NPFS) and Adolescent Girls Initiative for Learning and Empowerment, among others," he added
"Its key assumptions are oil price of 70 US Dollars per barrel; daily oil production estimate of 1.69m barrel per day; exchange rate of N435 to one United States Dollar; GDP growth of 3.75%; and inflation rate of 17.16%.
"Funding windows include the federal allocations, internally generated revenue (IGR), grants, and other capital receipts."
Chaired by Rt. Hon. Speaker Yakubu Salihu Danladi, the budget presentation session was attended by Deputy Governor Kayode Alabi; representative of the Chief Judge Justice Olalekan Adegbite; Acting Grand Kadi Justice Abdullateef Kamaldeen; House members; cabinet members led by Secretary to the State Government Prof. Mamman Sabah Jibril; first class and other senior monarchs; top government officials and senior senior civil servants; and All Progressives Congress chieftains led by Chairman Prince Sunday Fagbemi; among others.
The Speaker commended the Governor for his efforts to steadily bridge the huge infrastructural gap in the state and for his focus on workers' welfare, provision of basic amenities, and prudent management of public resources.
He assured AbdulRazaq of the readiness of the House to ensure timely passage of the budget after careful scrutiny as constitutionally required for the benefit of the people of Kwara State.
"Your Excellency deserves commendation for sustaining the zeal to fulfilling the obligations to the state by paying counterpart funds in all sectors. The result of this is visible to all as the state has since gone back to light and the people of the state are now better for it," he said.
"It is a thing of joy to note that the efforts of this present government at ensuring transparency, accountability and fiscal discipline in government business are enjoying applause from within and outside the state."

Governor AbdulRazaq Set To Commission Highest Number Of Modern Glass Squash Courts In West Africa
Kwara State government is set to unveil 10 modern glass squash courts at the state's stadium complex in Ilorin.
Fidel Info reports that according to the chairman of Kwara State Sports Commission, Bola Magaji, the modern arenas, which are the highest number situated in one location in Nigeria and West Africa, are currently being constructed by the state government to continue improving the standard of the sport in the state.
He noted that Kwara State, which has produced stars in squash and also dominated the sport across Nigeria in recent times, needed to upgrade its facilities and other sports arenas at the state stadium to meet modern athletics demands.
He added that Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq is focusing on transforming Kwara State to Nigeria's hub of sports.
"The two courts initially at the stadium have been renovated and the government is adding eight more courts that would accommodate singles and doubles events. It will be ready for use very soon.
"This facility has not been seen at the moment in any state in Nigeria and West Africa. Kwara State is known for outstanding performance in squash. Most of our athletes were used by other states at the 2022 National Sports Festival at Asaba, which shows the state's commitment to the sport."
Magaji, a former national squash champion, said that apart from the squash courts, other facilities at the Ilorin Stadium are being renovated to help athletes hone their skills in an organised environment.
"We have 32 active sports in Kwara State and all facilities to make athletes excel is being put in place.
"The state government is also working hard to prepare the basketball team for continental engagements… we are not leaving out the welfare of players and coaches of Kwara United F.C, who are currently playing in the NPFL," he said.
Ex-President Obasanjo Lauds Governor AbdulRazaq Over Youth Inclusion In Governance
Former Nigerian President Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has commended Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq over his policy of including and engaging youths in governance.
Fidel Info reports that the former President said he is extremely proud of developments in the state under Governor AbdulRazaq as he gets many testimonies from different quarters on his efforts and strides.
He made these comments during a chat with the Governor when he was received to the state at the Ilorin International Airport over the weekend.
Chief Obasanjo had visited the state to attend the wedding ceremony between the children of popular businessman Alhaji Kamarudeen Yusuf (KAMWIRE) and Alhaji Adelodun Oba Adebayo SAN.
The ceremony which was also graced by the Governor had many other prominent dignitaries in the country in attendance, including Chief of Staff to the President Prof. Ibrahim Gambari; Minister of Mines and Steel Arc. Olamilekan Adegbite; Emir of Kano Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, Olofa of Offa Oba Muftau Muhammed Gbadamosi; top businessman Alhaji Aliko Dangote; among others.
Governor AbdulRazaq has earned recognition for youth and women inclusion in government. His cabinet is peopled mostly by youths and women in what has never been witnessed in the state in the past.
Kwara currently holds the record of having the youngest commissioner in the whole of Nigeria. The state has produced two youngest commissioners under Governor AbdulRazaq.
In his remarks, Chief Obasanjo said, "I am proud and happy about the great testimonies that come from Kwara State. I have followed and observed your passion for youth inclusion in governance. It is very commendable because it is a way of securing the future of our country.
"These young people are being exposed to governance and administration at the early part of their lives. They will surely contribute their quota to national development through the experience they have gathered over the years.
"I hear a lot of positive stories about Kwara State under your administration. I follow the developmental strides, particularly the transformation and revolution you are bringing to the agricultural sector. I commend all these efforts. You are doing so well and I wish you success at the forthcoming polls."
RE: NG-CARES Fund: Kwara State Government Sets the Record Straight
The attention of the Kwara State Government has been drawn to some false and malicious claims by some opposition elements that the administration of Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq siphoned over 20 Million Dollars NG-CARES Fund targeted at empowering more than three thousand small and medium scale businesses in Kwara State. This claim, which is a laughable copycat effort seen in some other states, is nothing but a theatrical display that is totally false. The agenda of these fake news purveyors is to misinform the public, malign, and smear the reputation of the Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq-led government, which has invested resources and efforts into social safety programmes in Kwara State.
Fidel Info reports that this rejoinder therefore sets the record straight while offering the characters behind the malicious claims an opportunity to be properly informed on the concept, implementation, and achievements of the NG-CARES Programme in Kwara State.
2. The idea of NG-CARES came around May 2020 during the lockdown occasioned by the outbreak of Covid-19 in Nigeria. The NG-CARES is a two-year emergency response intervention designed by the World Bank and the Nigerian Governors' Forum (NGF) to assist the 36 States and FCT cushion the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the lives and livelihood of the poor and the vulnerable. The core objective of the programme is to "expand access to livelihood support and food security services, and grants for vulnerable households and firms".
3. The NG-CARES Programme is a state-budgeted intervention with support from the World Bank through a credit facility in the sum of $750 Million USD, with each participating State eligible to access an equal amount of $20 Million USD, depending on the results achieved. It is imperative to also educate the general public that the NG-CARES Programme is a Programme for Result (PforR), as opposed to the usual Independent Project Financing (IPF) approach adopted by the World Bank. This is a novel financing instrument developed by the World Bank that links the disbursement of funds directly to the achievement of specific programme results. It is also important to state that while the programme is a grant to beneficiaries, it is a credit facility to the State Governments.
To this effect, a Subsidiary Loan Agreement (SLA) was entered into by the State government with the Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget, and National Planning on 30th August 2021. The programme was declared effective by the World Bank on 28th September 2021.
4. The NG-CARES Programme is being implemented in Kwara State by the following Delivery Platforms: the State Cash Transfer Unit (SCTU); Labour Intensive Public Works (LIPW); Kwara State Community and Social Development Agency (KWCSDA), Kwara State FADAMA Coordinating Office; and Kwara State Social Investment Programme (KWASSIP). The Kwara State CARES Coordinating Unit (SCCU) in the Ministry of Planning and Economic Development provides institutional support to the implementing units.
5. As a participating State, Kwara State, like other States, was expected to meet the eligibility criteria set by the World Bank. In the end, the State was eligible for a DLI advance of N900 Million, which was released in March 2022. Thus far, the total sum of N1,418,314,964 has been expended on the NG-CARES Programme in Kwara State, out of which only N900,000,000 was provided by the World Bank. The sum of N518,314,964 was provided by the State Government towards implementing the Programme.
6. It is apt to state at this point that being a programme designed by the World Bank, the NG-CARES Programme is being implemented in strict adherence to the domesticated Operations Manual of the Programme. The Kwara State CARES Operations Manual was cleared by the World Bank. Being a Programme For Result, any State that implements the programme outside of the dictate of the Operations Manual is at risk of forfeiting the reimbursement from the World Bank.
7. For the programme, Kwara State subscribed to 8 of the 11 programmes designed by the World Bank. The following are the results achieved so far by the Kwara State government under the implementing agencies:
S/N Implementing Agencies Achievement
1 State Cash Transfer Unit (SCTU) 1690 Beneficiaries receiving N20,000 Bi-Monthly
2. Labour Intensive Public Works (LIPW) 1025 Youths Engaged in Social Service receiving N10,000 Monthly.
3 Kwara State Community and Social Development Agency (KWCSDA) 35 Micro-Projects has been executed in 9 Local Governments in areas of health, water and sanitation.
4. Kwara State FADAMA Coordinating Office 6561 Farmers have benefitted from agric inputs and assets across the 16 LGAs of the State.
5. Kwara State Social Investment Programme (KWASSIP) 688 Small and Micro Businesses across the 16 LGAs supported with an operational grant in the range of N200,000 and N700,000.
8. The allegation by some opposition elements that the actual amount designed by the Federal Government was N3.2 Million or N3.5 million (as they variously claimed in self-contradiction) to MSMEs is false and concocted misinformation. This is nothing but a figment of their imagination. This falls under Result Area 3 being implemented by the Kwara State Social Investment Programme (KWASSIP) which supported a total number of 688 Small and Micro Businesses with operational grants size of between N200,000.00 and N700,000.00 in the 16 Local Government Areas of the State. This is in tandem with the World Bank approved NG-CARES Operations Manual. This is contrary to the false claims that businesses were given peanuts of N15,000.00 each.
9. In addition, the NG-CARES Programme embraced transparency right from the application processes to the disbursement in collaboration with the Bank of Industry.
KWASSIP deployed an online portal where interested businesses provided documents and records of their businesses, while the Bank of Industry (BOI) was mandated with scrutinising their documents and disbursing to the eligible businesses. Through different news media, interested members of the public were adequately sensitized to register their businesses through the portal. The choice of BOI was to ensure that every application was treated based on their merit. All of the 688 businesses selected as first batch of beneficiaries were based on meeting the required eligibility criteria as stipulated in the Kwara State CARES Operations Manual.
10. At this juncture, it is germane to state that as one of the best-performing States, Kwara State was chosen by the World Bank for a Technical Support Mission to help other participating States learn from the modus operandi of the NG-CARES Programme in Kwara State.
11. Finally, we would like to enjoin members of the public to ignore the mischief being peddled by these opposition elements on the programme. The unfounded claim is an attempt to mislead the public as well as distract the good works of His Excellency Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, especially in the area of social safety investment. The first assessment by the Independent Verification Agents appointed by the World Bank was just recently concluded. Thereafter, the state government is expected to be reimbursed of its resources already invested into the programme in line with the verifications by the IVA.
However, the state government would not allow itself to be distracted by the noise of the mischief-makers in NG-CARES implementation since the programme implementation is expected to continue after the reimbursement.


Resolving to eat healthier is a common new year's resolution. Moving away from the holiday gluttony of dips and roasts and cookies can be difficult–after all, in our society, it's fast, cheap and easy (not to mention addictive) to feed our cravings for junk.
While many of us will resolve to try to slow down and make better food choices, so also must we resolve to drastically improve our news media diets while teaching and encouraging our students to do the same. It's quick and easy to read headlines on social media, share articles without reading them and follow and believe only sources of information that deepen confirmation bias. It might seem time-consuming and more expensive, but the health benefits certainly make the extra efforts worth it.
1. Take some time to understand the historical context of "fake news": Politico's "The Long and Brutal History of Fake News" takes us back to Gutenberg's invention of the printing press in 1439 and helps us understand the conversations we're having today.
3. Good journalism costs money. Make a pledge to invest in local and national news media by subscribing to print and online sources and donating money to public media.
5. Utilize mobile apps so news it at your fingertips (and not just via Facebook). NPR News, BBC News, AP News and PolitiFact offer great mobile options.
6. Read articles closely and determine their worth before sharing–or commenting on–them on social media.
7. When breaking news occurs, consume news carefully. See the "Breaking News Consumer's Handbook" from On the Media for guidance, and share the infographic widely.
Tabloid gossip, memes, out-of-context quotes and headlines that reinforce our world views are tempting and addictive, yet they don't encourage us to learn and grow. Let's be resolute–in our personal lives and in our classrooms–in changing our news media diets. It might mean slowing down, challenging ourselves and paying a few extra dollars, but we'll be much healthier for it, as citizens and educators.

CAN LUCKY LIVE UP TO HER NAME?
Can you imagine being 14 and wondering if you will ever get your last 'forever' home?
Lucky and Suzie are older dogs, currently being looked after at Raystede animal re-homing centre and are looking for a home together so they can enjoy their twilight years in comfort.
Kennel managers from the Lewes-based sanctuary say the two dogs have been held for some time after a change in their previous owners' circumstances, as older dogs are difficult to home.
They are now hoping that someone in Zone Zine area will offer them the kind of home that would suit them in their older years.
They will need an adult-only home with a garden so they can potter and run about chasing tennis balls.
They also enjoy their walks so would love to be re-homed with a new owner who likes to go on the Tye, the Downs on onto the beach.
Both dogs can be anxious when left, so will need a home where they will have company most of the time and new owners will be rewarded by their very loving nature.
You will be provided with further details about any animal's previous history and findings from their assessment, which will give you an idea about their needs and personality.

Graduate schools expect good planning from their applicants. They want to see passion, commitment and drive. Don't delay taking the necessary steps to build the best application package and improve your chances for success.
Creating a timeline for your application process is a useful first step. But bear in mind that some schools have unique requirements. Be sure to do your diligent research in advance.
This proposed timeline is designed to help reduce anxiety associated with the application process and improve your chances of getting into a graduate program that best suits you.
An undergraduate research experience increases your likelihood of getting accepted to graduate school. Start by mapping out some ideas for a good research project, and search for professors you wish to work with. Research for REUs, independent study, and research credits are perfect methods of developing this research experience.
Think about the specialties you would like to focus on, and the type of degree you wish to earn. Look for the schools that offer programs you may be interested in. Be sure to check each school's application process and know your deadlines, required GRE scores, and pre-requisite courses.
While it might not be the most important element of your application, most physics and astronomy departments use the GRE as an indicator to assess your potential for success in their programs.
Do not underestimate the GRE. It requires significant commitment and studying.
Make sure to plan your exam date! Be advised that while the General GRE exam is offered relatively often, the Physics Subject GRE is only offered three times a year. Taking the exam in April is a good plan because it leaves you enough time to take it again in October or November should you wish to improve your grade.
Most PhD programs in physics and astronomy have financial aid options that cover most, if not all, tuition costs. You can see what the department you are interested in offers in financial aid, teaching assistant, and research assistant positions on the profile page of the GradschoolShopper database.
If you're seeking a master's degree, you should have a plan on how to finance your way through the program. Check your desired schools for the availability of financial aid, scholarships, and fellowships. Some fellowships require an early application submission and personal statement.
This is your opportunity to distinguish yourself from other applicants in your program. Take the time to craft a well-written and creative personal statement that showcases your experience and interests in your chosen field.
Tweak, edit and continue working on your personal statement. Notice that you might want to write separate statements, each slightly different, in case you apply to different programs.
Ask for information about the program, its setting, financial aid, and culture. Ask for an application packet.
Most departments require a transcript from your undergraduate institution. This process can take weeks or months to obtain. Don't wait until it's too late.
Some programs ask for written recommendations in a sealed envelope, whereas others require that the applications be filled out online. Start asking professors or employers for their recommendation letters early. Many of these professionals are busy, and usually have a lot of requests for recommendations at this time. Be sure to give them ample time to write and submit your recommendation letter by the deadline.
This is the time to take your exams if you didn't do so already, or if you wish to improve your grade. Remember, October and November are usually the last dates the Subject GRE is offered before grad school applications are due. The General GRE is offered more often but is still a requirement for most graduate programs.
If possible, try to visit your selected schools. Some of them may even invite you for a tour before you make your decision of whether or not to apply. Take advantage of these offers. You can learn a lot by visiting each campus and meeting students or faculty in the program.
Compile a final list of programs you wish to apply to, and make sure you know the deadlines and requirements for each application.
Don't ignore the fees. Applying to each program costs an average of $60-$80, so do your best to plan accordingly.
Make sure they are sent directly to the departments you're applying to. You may also want to order an extra copy for yourself. Your school should be able to give you one in a sealed envelope.
From grammar to mailing addresses, this is your last chance to verify the data before you submit your applications.
Don't wait until the last minute. Many graduate programs go through applications as they come, which means that the sooner you send your application, the sooner your application is processed.
Call the program administrators to verify that your application was received. Make sure none of them arrived late or was lost in the mail.
Verify that the letters of recommendation have been sent.
Some departments have pre-selection interviews. Start preparing for these by reading about the department, offered programs, professors, and research specialties.
If you are a U.S. citizen, you are eligible for FAFSA and should fill out the forms as early as possible (http://federalstudentaid.ed.gov/). Alternatively, there are many scholarships and fellowships you may be eligible for, even as an international student.
There's nothing more to do at this stage than keep your fingers crossed!

Former police chief condemns Damian Green pornography claim leak
A former chief constable says the allegation made against PM Theresa May's effective deputy is a breach of confidentiality.
By Jon Craig, Chief Political Correspondent
Saturday 2 December 2017 20:58, UK
'It's not for police officers to make judgments'
A retired detective who has claimed Damian Green spent hours looking at pornography on his Commons computer has been accused by a senior police chief of bringing the police service into disrepute.
Sir Peter Fahy, the former chief constable of Greater Manchester Police, has told Sky News that Neil Lewis's allegation was party political and a breach of confidentiality.
Mr Lewis, a former Metropolitan Police detective and IT expert, worked on the notorious police raid on Mr Green's Commons office when he was a shadow Home Office minister in 2008.
Mr Green was arrested and held for nine hours after Labour Home Secretary Jacqui Smith called in the Met's counter-terrorism and security chief Bob Quick after leaks from her private office to the Tory MP.
The pornography allegations have been fiercely denied by Mr Green, who claims the story is "completely untrue" and that Mr Quick is "a tainted and untrustworthy source" pursuing a vendetta against him.
But they are being investigated by the Cabinet Office's head of propriety, Sue Gray, along with allegations that Mr Green behaved inappropriately towards journalist and Tory activist, Kate Maltby.

Mr Lewis, who worked for Mr Quick, said in an interview that he had been involved in analysing Mr Green's computer and claimed he found pornographic material which ran to thousands of pages.

"I noticed a lot of pornography thumbnails, which indicated web browsing," said Mr Lewis. "I was surprised to see that on a parliamentary computer. I had to take a step back."
Joining a growing backlash against Mr Lewis and Mr Quick, Sir Peter - who was Greater Manchester's police chief for seven years - told Sky News: "There may be a public interest.
"But I think the public interest in the impartiality of police officers and the public interest in confidentiality of public servants - and particularly police officers - is far, far greater, and that has to weigh in the balance.
"Ultimately it's not for police officers to make judgements about whether politicians are lying or not, ultimately that's a matter for the court.
"And it's not for police officers to make moral judgements about people's lifestyles, whether they're accessing or not accessing perfectly legal material."
Police found 'thousands' of porn images on deputy PM's computer
Sir Peter added: "This is exactly the sort of action that can cause disrepute to the police service and I do think the vast majority of police officers and police chiefs will have a concern about this particular case and will have a concern that it could damage the wider reputation of policing, which would be unfair because this is just the actions of two particular retired officers in a particular case.
"I don't feel comfortable and I think most police officers and police chiefs will not feel comfortable.
"It's a very important principle of British policing that policing does not get involved in party politics, and this has become a party political issue.
"The second important principle is one of confidentiality. Often a police officer in an investigation, searching somebody's house, searching somebody's computer, will come across material that is not central to that investigation and it's really important that that is kept confidential.
"So unfortunately these actions breach those two principles, and create the danger of damaging the confidence the public have in the impartiality of police officers.
"It's a breach of the professional ethic and the professional duty which not only applies to police officers but really to any public servant - the same for a doctor perhaps, who came across material.
Image: Mr Green is effectively Theresa May's deputy
"At the end of the day this material was not illegal, it's really a matter of a dispute between the employer, Parliament, and the member if staff, this particular MP."
The Chief Inspector of Constabulary, Sir Thomas Winsor, also said the leak should never have happened, adding police have an "enduring" duty of confidentiality - even after they left the service.
Sir Peter's criticism of Mr Lewis and Mr Quick has been backed by the Met.
In a statement, Scotland Yard said: "Confidential information gathered during a police inquiry should not be made public.
"The appropriate course of action is to co-operate privately with the Cabinet Office inquiry as the MPS (Metropolitan Police Service) has done.
"As is routine for cases of this nature the circumstances of information being made public will be looked at by the Directorate of Professional Standards."

Q: Convert string representation of an array of int to a groovy list If I am given an string which is the repsentation of an array of int like below
String d = "[2,3,4,5]"
How I convert to an array of string?
String[] f = convert d to array of String
Also how I convert to an array of int?
int[] f = convert d to array of int

A: I was looking for other solutions, since my values contained strings including dots in them and found this.
This code should work for you:
"[1,2,3]".tokenize(',[]')*.toInteger()

A: You can use Eval.me like so:
String[] f = Eval.me( d )*.toString()

Or
int[] i = Eval.me( d )

Be careful though, as if this String is entered by a third party, it could do nasty things and is a huge security risk...  To get round that, you'd need to parse it yourself with something like:
def simplisticParse( String input, Class requiredType ) {
  input.dropWhile { it != '[' }
       .drop( 1 )
       .takeWhile { it != ']' }
       .split( ',' )*.asType( requiredType )
}

String[] s = simplisticParse( d, String )
int[] i = simplisticParse( d, Integer )

Explaining The Pomodoro Technique In Short
English Heritage site Kenwood House on Hampstead Heath just out of London is the home of the Iveagh Bequest Art Collection. It was acquired by Edward Guinness, the first Earl of Iveagh in the 1880s–1890s. He collected the Old Masters, Dutch and Flemish painters, as well as British ones. His interest was primarily portraits, but he added landscapes to his collection also. Kenwood House itself is worth a visit with architecture by Robert Adam, gorgeous interiors (the library and orangery are of note), and landscape design by Repton.
Currently, Kenwood House is under renovation and so its art, including the famous Rembrandt self portrait on the right, is on travel. Nearly fifty works are on a North American tour, of which Seattle is one stop. The touring show is called "Rembrandt, van Dyck, Gainsborough: The Treasures of Kenwood House, London." The tour visited Houston in June 2012, Milwaukee in October 2012, and then arrived in Seattle in February 2013. As of today, the paintings are headed out of the U.S.
I was primarily interested in the British portraiture artists of the 17th and 18th centuries, namely, Van Dyck, Joshua Reynolds, Thomas Gainsborough, and George Romney and landscape artists Gainsborough and Joseph Turner since those were the painters most popular during the Regency.
English art of portraiture came into being in the 17th C with Van Dyck's elegant paintings. He was the court painter to King Charles I, and his work was hung in English aristocratic country houses and town homes and inspired generations that British portrait artists.
Reynolds, the first president of the Royal Academy of Arts, was a pure portrait artist and was heavily influenced by Van Dyck and Reuben. One of his earliest portraits was of the Angerstein Children wherein he developed his signature style that is best showcased by the portrait of Lady Louisa Manners, thereby giving his style the title "Grand Manner Portraits."
Since the Royal Academy paintings were hung from up above with the bottom edge being 5'6" off the ground, painters tended to paint humans with long elongated bodies to compensate for the viewing angles in those days.
The Infant Academy is a departure from Reynolds's usual style, it's whimsical turning away from the Van Dyck classical learning to paint life as simply as he saw it.
Reynolds's chief rival for art commissions and Royal Academy wall space was Gainsborough. They tried to out-do each other in the drama and size of their paintings and garnering commissions from the wealthiest of patrons.
Gainsborough's Mary, Countess of Howe is considered one of the essential masterpieces of English painting and an icon of English feminine beauty. This is his third life-size full-length portrait. Another of his well-known works is Lady Brisco, also a life-size full-length portrait.
Gainsborough drew inspiration for his landscapes in the country motifs and architecture in the region around Bath. He claimed that while portrait painting was his profession, landscape painting was his pleasure. Some of his well-known landscapes are: Greyhounds Coursing a Fox (his third largest work executed in the style of Flemish painter Frans Snyder), and Two Shepherd Boys with Two Dogs Fighting.
Reynolds's and Gainsborough's portraiture fell under the heading Allegorical Paintings or History Paintings. They depict scenes from the Bible or Greek and Roman mythology (extending to even Cleopatra). This was considered the most respected artistic genre of 18th C and early 19th C England. An example is The Honorable Mrs. Tollemache where the lady is presented as Miranda from Shakespeare's The Tempest.

Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly announces retirement
The NFL has lost another one of its stars to early retirement.
Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly has announced his retirement from professional football after eight seasons.
He finished his career as the Panthers' leading tackler with 1,092 which are the most in the NFL since he entered the league as well as 18 career interceptions which are the most among linebackers since 2012.
Through his decorated career, Kuechly was a seven-time Pro Bowler, five-time first-team All Pro, 2013 NFL Defensive Player of the Year and 2012 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.
But Kuechly later said he wasn't concerned about concussions affecting his future.
"I still want to play but I don't think it's the right decision", Kuechly said while holding back tears.
"There's only one way to play this game, since I was a little kid, is to play fast and play physical and play strong", Kuechly said in the video. I've played it since I was a little kid, it's my favorite thing in the world to do.
Luke Kuechly is hanging up his cleats. Other notable players who have retired at the top of their game include Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson and San Francisco 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis. He gave new Panthers coach Matt Rhule a vote of confidence while thanking former Carolina coach Ron Rivera and owner David Tepper.
Kuechly went out of his way to say the coaching change didn't influence his decision.
Why did Luke Kuechly retire?
Kuechly did not expand on any particular ailment that caused him to call it quits.
"People love the team and people love the players", Kuechly said of the fans. "I think we have a really good linebacking room".
Kuechly was consistently regarded as one of the best linebackers in the NFL, known for his study of the game, and is nearly certainly a future member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

YOUNITE Invites You To Be One With Them

On April 20, YOUNITE made its debut with the mini-album, YOUNI-BIRTH. The EP served as an introduction to the nine-member boy group through a universe-themed storyline. The group name YOUNITE is a combination of "You" and "Unite," indicating the group's promise to create synergy with their fans and be one with them. The members of the BRANDNEW MUSIC group are EUNHO, STEVE, HYUNSEUNG, EUNSANG, HYUNGSEOK, WOONO, DEY, KYUNGMUN, and SION. Weeks after their debut, and after a long day with a radio schedule, the YOUNITE members spoke to EnVi via Zoom about their debut, hopes, and unique talents.
Road To YOUNI-BIRTH
Expressing excitement at making his debut, EUNHO, the oldest member, indicated it took six months to prepare for their debut. "During that time, we practiced a lot, and worked on our teamwork, and getting everything in sync with each other," he told EnVi. In agreement with EUNHO, dancer HYUNSEUNG recalled retaking parts of the choreography whenever a member made a mistake. He defined those moments as a fond memory from his pre-debut era.

The members also received valuable advice from their friends and senior colleagues while preparing for their debut. For EUNHO, most of his idol friends advised him to put his health first. KYUNGMUN, on the other hand, disclosed labelmate Daehwi of AB6IX gave him the most unforgettable advice. He pointed out, "debuting is not the end but the beginning, and also encouraged me to work hard to sincerely reach the fans."
Outside the practice room, in February 2022, BRANDNEW MUSIC introduced YOUNITE with prologue videos depicting each member's universe story. The prologue videos caught the attention of many Korean Pop fans who anticipated YOUNITE's debut. Feeding off the anticipation, on March 31, YOUNITE released "EVERYBODY," featuring BRANDNEW MUSIC DJ, DJ Juice. The pre-release single, aimed at introducing fans to YOUNITE's sound, was well received by fans.
YOUNI-BIRTH
YOUNITE's debut mini-album consists of six tracks co-written by DEY. On YOUNI-BIRTH, YOUNITE showcase their youthfulness with fresh, dynamic, and soothing tunes. The songs include the pre-released "EVERYBODY," title track "1 OF 9," "YOUNI-BIRTH," "ODYSSEY," "RING RING RING," and "I GOT THE FEELING." On "EVERYBODY," YOUNITE put a refreshing spin to old-school hip-hop with a chunky funk beat. The music video sees the boys show off their energetic performance and charms in a playful manner. Its energetic feel makes "EVERYBODY," WOONO's favorite song from the EP. "It perfectly describes us as a group," he said.
YOUNITE maintains the hip-hop feel in the intro of "YOUNI-BIRTH," which DEY has a soft spot for as his fellow members EUNHO and STEVE participated in writing the lyrics. Showcasing their diversity as a group, YOUNITE opts for a nu-disco pop sound with the title track, "1 OF 9." The music video highlights each member individually as they lobby to be the ultimate bias of the listener asking to be their "One of Nine."
Taking a new twist, YOUNITE dives into the uptempo "ODYSSEY," which EUNHO described as the most challenging to record. "It is very fast-paced and has a lot of high notes which is why it was difficult for me," he admitted. The hopeless romantic in YOUNITE then makes an appearance in "RING RING RING." While EUNHO, STEVE, and HYUNGSEOK revealed it is their favorite song from the EP, KYUNGMUN disclosed it was the most difficult song to record on the EP. "RING RING RING is both fast-paced and slow, and I contemplated how to deliver the feeling to our listeners," he explained. The "RING RING RING" enthusiasts had something else to say. HYUNGSEOK described it as calming and relaxing to listen to thanks to its "soft and heart fluttering lyrics." To EUNHO, it is the perfect song to listen to in the middle of the night, at dawn, or after a hard day's work, and STEVE described it as "his comfort song." YOUNITE's EP ends on a funky note with "I GOT THE FEELING." The song exudes youthfulness and feel-good vibes.
After YOUNI-BIRTH
A month after their official debut, YOUNITE's "1 OF 9" has gained about 10 million views on YouTube. While promoting, EUNSANG, formerly of X1, revealed his former teammate Wooseok watched and complimented his performance which made him happy. EUNSANG had been at the center of attention as many fans were excited for his return to a boy group after X1's disbandment in 2020.
YOUNITE got candid with their aspirations after debut. After launching their career with a youthful and bright concept, the boy group hopes to show another side to fans. "In the future, I will like to try something darker and sexier," HYUNSEUNG told EnVi. Sharing his wish for the group, SION said: "I would really like for us to win the Rookie of the Year award." Adding to their ambitions, YOUNITE wants to establish themselves as universal acts with songs in English, Japanese and Spanish. "We're going to be global idols," EUNSANG excitedly said amidst cheers from the members.
Eunsang~ So proud to see your progress since PDX – X1 – Solo Debut – and now as YOUNITE's Leader! Wishing YOUNITE a successful debut! Good luck for your debut, Leader Eunsang 💗#은상 #이은상 #YOUNITE #유나이트 #YOUNI_BIRTH @YOUNITE_offcl pic.twitter.com/OPAWZRNHWB

Up and Close with YOUNITE
Off stage, YOUNITE is a group of boys with unique talents, hobbies, and music tastes. Aside from their vocal, rap, and dance abilities, HYUNSEUNG believes a talent the entire group possesses is their athleticism. Every member is athletic and energetic, and YOUNITE managed to show it off during their stage performances. Still touching on talents in the group, SION cites his elucidation as a specialty, while WOONO mentions his waking up as soon as the alarm rings.

The YOUNITE members are also fanboys in their own right. HYUNSEUNG disclosed he is a fan of EXO and has looked up to Kai since he was little. DEY cites Song Mino as an artist he looks up to, expressing admiration for his gestures while performing. He described them as "impressive." YOUNITE ended the interview with a message from EUNHO, who thanked fans for their love and encouragement and promised to grow as artists before ending with the phrase "I love you."
Shower YOUNITE with love by listening to their debut mini-album YOUNI-BIRTH on Spotify, Apple Music, and other streaming platforms. EnVi recommends "I GOT THE FEELING," a bubbly song guaranteed to put you in a good mood.

Some are accusing Kim of being self-centered.
Kim Kardashian is under fire yet again, this time over a tweet.
The reality star shared her condolences via Twitter after learning of the terror attack at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester Monday night that left 22 people dead and dozens more injured.
"Concerts are supposed to be a place where u can let loose & have fun. So scary to not feel safe in this world. @arianagrande I love you," Kardashian wrote.
The tweet itself is harmless enough, but it's Kim's choice of photo that angered some Twitter users, Refinery 29 reports. Kim posted a pic of herself standing in a crowd with Ariana Grande, and some were quick to call it narcissism.
@KimKardashian @ArianaGrande true narcissism is when someone can flip a tragedy and make themselves the center of attention.
@KimKardashian @ArianaGrande Only you Kim would find an opportunity to post a pic of yourself during this outrage.
To be fair, Kim did follow it up with a few more (photo-less) tweets. Take a look below.
I'm praying for everyone in Manchester. This is truly so senseless & heart breaking.

National Coin Week — April 17-23, 2022
Numismatically speaking, you probably have history in your pocket! Numismatics is the study or collection of currency, and most popularly is associated with the appraisal and collection of coins. Coin collectors will tell you that their hobby, in addition to giving them a deeper appreciation of art, has also expanded their knowledge of history, geography, politics, and cultural awareness. According to Mike Fuljenz, a Texas coin dealer, coins are like "history in your hands. Coins in ancient times were like a newspaper, telling about who was in power, and whether the ruler was peaceful or a warmonger based on the design symbolism. For example, arrows (on coins) indicated war, while olive branches were a sign of a desire for peace." Coins can thereby chart the entrenchment, progression, or awakening of various aspects and attitudes of society — depending on the themes, events, or people depicted on them.
FUN FACT: We often say "heads" or "tails," but in coin collecting these are more formally known as "obverse" and "reverse."
One movement that is now expanding throughout the world of coinage is Women's History. Over the years, the U.S. Mint has portrayed women on coins mostly as a symbol of "Liberty," with a fanciful image. A few actual women have been included on commemorative issues, but only three have appeared on U.S. circulating coins before this year: Susan B. Anthony and Sacagawea have been shown on dollar coins, with Helen Keller on an Alabama Quarter. So now this year the U.S. Mint has begun the American Women Quarters program, which will run through 2025, "honoring the historic contributions of twenty trailblazing American women." Each year 5 women will be portrayed from a variety of backgrounds and achievements, including contributions in women's suffrage, civil rights, abolition, government, humanities, science, and the arts. Here are the first two women spotlighted in the program in the year 2022.
FUN FACT: Commemorative vs. Circulating coins
Determined by the U.S. Congress, commemorative coins honor American people, places, events, and institutions. Although these coins are legal tender (you can spend them), each commemorative coin is produced in limited quantity for a limited time.
Circulating coins are for everyday transactions. The penny, nickel, dime, and quarter are the main circulating coins that we use today. Fewer half-dollars and $1 coins are produced, and while they are considered circulating coins, many are acquired as collectibles.
The first American Women Quarters coin was released in February 2022, celebrating Maya Angelou (1928-2014), a writer, performer, and social activist. She rose to international prominence as an author after the publication of her groundbreaking autobiography "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings." Angelou's published more than 30 bestselling works of verse, non-fiction, and fiction. Her remarkable career encompassed dance, theater, journalism, and social activism. Angelou read "On the Pulse of Morning" at the 1992 Clinton inauguration, which marked the first time an African American woman wrote and presented a poem at a presidential inauguration, and only the second poet in history to do so. Over several decades, Maya Angelou was recognized with many honorary degrees and awards for her works across multiple genres. In 2010, President Obama awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
The second quarter in the program, just released on March 21, honors Dr. Sally Ride (1951-2012), a physicist, astronaut, and educator. In 1983, she became the first American woman – and, at 32, the youngest American – to go to space. After her historic spaceflight Ride co-authored six science books for young people, one of which won the 1995 American Institute of Physics' Children's Science Writing Award. She also co-founded an education company to inspire young people, especially girls, to take an active interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Later, her Sally Ride Science organization sought to ensure that girls and boys of all backgrounds had access to role models who looked like them. Ride received many honors during her life, including induction into the Astronaut Hall of Fame, National Women's Hall of Fame, and Aviation Hall of Fame.
The third quarter features Wilma Mankiller (1945-2010), an activist for Native American and women's rights. In the 1950s, a drought devastated her family's land, and they were moved to a housing project in California, where the young Mankiller experienced culture shock, aggravated by poverty and racism. Returning to the Cherokee Nation in 1977, she led the creation of community water systems and rehabilitation of houses, and several years later became the first woman elected as principal chief of the Cherokee Nation. She tripled her tribe's enrollment, doubled employment, and built new housing, health centers, and children's programs in northeast Oklahoma. Under her leadership, infant mortality declined and educational levels rose. After leaving office in 1995, she remained a strong voice worldwide for social justice, native people, and women. Mankiller was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1993, and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1998.
The fourth quarter highlights the role of Nina Otero-Warren (1881-1965), a leader in New Mexico's suffrage movement and the first female superintendent of Santa Fe public schools. She was also the first Latina to run for Congress. Otero-Warren insisted that suffrage materials be published in Spanish as well as English, in order to reach the large population of Spanish-speaking women in New Mexico. She spearheaded the lobbying effort to ratify the 19th Amendment in New Mexico, which granted women the right to vote. Otero-Warren strove to improve education for all New Mexicans, working especially to advance bicultural education and to preserve cultural practices among the state's Hispanic and Native American communities.
The fifth quarter in 2022 pays tribute to Anna May Wong (1905-1961), the first Chinese American film star in Hollywood. Besides Chinese and English, which she spoke as a child in Los Angeles, Wong became fluent in both French and German. She left a legacy for women in the film industry, in both America and in Europe. Wong appeared in more than 60 movies throughout her career. In addition to her roles in silent films, radio, television, and stage, she performed a role in one of the first movies made in Technicolor. She was outspoken on issues of being both typecast in and rejected for roles based on ethnicity. She achieved international success despite racism and discrimination within the film industry and society at large.
FUN FACT: The obverse of all the American Women Quarters contains a profile of George Washington, designed and sculpted back in 1931 by a woman artist named Laura Gardin Fraser (1889-1966).

This post is only for history buffs; I never actually used these ceremonies word-for-word, although I have adapted and incorporated some concepts into my standard ceremonies.
Below is a marriage service from a 1900 handbook with texts for (Christian) ministers for weddings, baptisms, and funerals. The person who put it together specifically included a sample marriage service for those who thought the giving away of bride to be a "relic of a barbaric time." The Methodists eradicated the "service and obey" lines in the late 1800s. And few JOP and Quaker services seem to have included those lines in vows.
Dear Friends, we have gathered here this day to unite this man and this woman in holy marriage. This is an institution ordained by God in the very laws of our being, for the happiness and welfare of mankind. To be true, this outward ceremony must be but a symbol of that which is inner and real,— a sacred union of hearts that the Church may bless and the State make legal, but that neither can create or annul. To be happy, there must be a consecration of each to other, and of both to the noblest ends of life.
Believing that in such a spirit as this and with such a purpose you have now come, you may join your right hands.
Standing as you do now in the presence of God and these witnesses, you promise each to take the other as companion and (bosom) friend: Do you enter this covenant of matrimony lawfully in conscientious fidelity to have and to hold from this day forth, for better and for worse, for richer and for poorer, in sickness and in health, prosperity and adversity, and forsaking all others, cleave yourselves unto each other for as long as you both shall live?
What pledge do you offer that you will fulfill these vows ?
Hands it to the Minister.
Do you, on your part, accept this in token of the same ? Ans. — I do.
You will then place it on the fourth finger of the left hand.
Forasmuch, then, as you have now pledged your mutual vows, and have given and received a ring in token of the same, I — by virtue of authority vested in me by the State, and in the name of heaven — pronounce you husband and wife.
God, who hast set the humanity in families, binding us together by these sacred and tender ties, these, thy children, have now, with clasped hands and mutual pledges, taken upon themselves these life-long obligations. We trust that it is indeed true that these outward acts symbolize a union of hearts already made sacred by the holy love with which thou hast round them together. From out the innumerable multitudes of earth these two have come, looked n each other's faces, and are made one. Their converging ways have united, and henceforth are be the same.
If it be possible, may their paths be ever easy and pleasant beneath their feet. May the skies be ever sunny over their heads. But, if sorrow must come,— as it comes to all,— let the pressure of trial only bind them closer together. Let the experiences through which they pass only make them more and more completely one. With clasped hands and united hearts, may they accept life's joys and bear its burdens. And, if their sun goes down and night darkens their sky, may it at least be bright with the stars of hope.
And when the day of life is over, and the evening shadows fall, like tired but happy children, may they come home to thee, and find the door of the Father's house wide open to their returning feet.
Now may God bless thee and keep thee; God's countenance shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee; God give thee peace. Amen.
You have presented yourselves here, dear friends, in the sight of God and in the presence of these witnesses, to be joined together in the bonds of holy matrimony. There are no ties on earth so sweet and sacred as those you are about to assume. There are no vows so solemn as those which you are about to make. There is no institution on earth so blest of God, and on which his smile and benediction so rest as that of the Home, which you are about to form.
If it is your deliberate purpose to be united as husband and wife you will please join your right hands.
M , wilt thou take this woman whom thou dost hold by the hand, choosing her alone from all the world, to be thy wedded wife? Wilt thou love her and comfort her, support and cherish her in sickness .and in health, in prosperity and adversity, and forsaking all others, remain faithful to her as long as ye both shall live?
N , wilt thou take this man whom thou dost hold by the hand, choosing him alone from all the world, to be thy wedded husband? Wilt thou love him and comfort him, honor and cherish him, in sickness and in health, in sunshine and in storm, and forsaking all others, remain faithful to him as long as ye both shall live?
With this ring I thee wed, and pledge thee my love and loyalty, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. A men.
Repeat for woman if double-ring ceremony.
Almighty God, our heavenly Father, bless these two who have thus laid hand in hand to walk together through this journey of life. Abide with them in the home and on the way. May each added year be rich with new delight in their companionship. Help them to be so true to each other and to thee that after their earthly service is completed they may be welcomed by thee into the eternal home. Amen.
Forasmuch as M and N—— have consented together in holy wedlock, and in the presence of these witnesses have given and plighted their troth, I pronounce that they are husband and wife, henceforth in interest and destiny, as in affection, one; in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. A men.
The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you. The Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. Amen.

700 Profit Club Review: You Need To Read This - $700+ A Day Is No Joke!
700 Profit Club Review: You Need To Read This – $700+ A Day Is No Joke!
700 Profit Club claims that you can make $700 in less than 24 hours after spending just 10 minutes setting up the system. This sounds too good to be true. Is this another scam?
In my review, I will reveal all you need to know about this system whether you can make money with it.
There are so many scams out there that it is hard to tell which products are genuine and which ones are there just to empty your pocket.
I'm glad you're here doing your due diligence.
You may have been scammed before or lost money on products or services that fail to live up to their promises.
If you're fed up with being lied to and taken for a ride, check out the best way to make money online here.
What Is The 700 Profit Club About?
The Sales video guarantees that you can earn $700 each day – on autopilot – with their revolutionary system.
It will only take 10 minutes to get started and have a fully functional money-making website that is set up by their team.
That all sounds good but what is their revolutionary system?
Digging a bit deeper, it's nothing more than pre-built websites on a hosting platform.
Basically what they are offering you is a web hosting service and the 700 Profit Club 'team' will build your websites for you.
Even though the system is 'free', what you are actually paying for, is the hosting package.
They have partnered with a hosting company called CoolHandle who will be hosting your website. Whoever is behind the system will earn a commission through your sign up to the CoolHandle platform.
This is called Affiliate Marketing which is a great model for making money online. However, this is a very sneaky way on how the 700 Profit Club has done this. With Affiliate Marketing you will usually give a review of a product so that people can decide whether to buy it or not based on the review.
They have chosen the quick and easy method of trying to get you into signing up to their system – as being FREE – then get you to sign up to a product (CoolHandle) that they will make money off without EVER doing a product review.
They even go as far as saying in their sales pitch that you don't even need to know about this company. This is the wrong advice.
Whatever company you use in your business, whether it is a hosting company a domain registration company a theme producing company, you should check them out before you sign up to them as they may be on the verge of bankruptcy, may not have great customer service, their product is not worth the price and so many different factors you should consider before signing up with any company.
1. Select your domain name to get your coolHandle Hosting Account OR you can register your own domain name.
The cheapest package is the 12-month plan – expect to pay $167.04 for this.
There are other items which, if you don't know what they are, you may be tempted to add them to your shopping cart.
Domain Privacy, Daily Backup and Website Security are checked by default.
Website Security and Daily Backup options should be purchased as without website security your site will have a security threat message when someone tries to visit it. Backup is crucial as you don't want to lose any of your work if the system were to crash.
Domain privacy isn't required unless you want to prevent people from seeing who owns the domain; it's a way to protect your identity.
Is 700 Profit Club a scam?
The system uses the same tactics as a product I recently reviewed called Automated Income Sites.
This product is also a scam.
The model of paying for pre-built websites isn't a new thing. Many people don't have the time to create their own website and want something that has already been built that has been optimized, will rank well, uses keywords etc.
There are businesses that actually build and sell websites. The difference here is that the rights of the website is handed over to you. You also get statistical information such as what keywords are being used, how well they rank, what the site could be worth to you and so on.
These sites have been built by professionals who have taken the time to carry out research so you don't have to. You will, however, need to maintain the website by writing more content to keep it up-to-date.
These websites could cost $1000's but they are worth it.
700 Profit Club websites are not built in this way. There is no way that you can earn money from a site that is pre-built in a matter of minutes.
Having a website alone will NOT make you money. A website is the foundation of your business.
For your website to earn you money, you will need to drive traffic to it through SEO or paid methods. As a beginner, SEO is the best route to take as it saves you money and it'll work for you for years to come if done rightly.
Having the right keywords is also critical for driving traffic to your site as it is these words that people are keying into the search engines to find information. If you get the keyword right, then your content will show up in the search results – which means people visiting your site.
700 Profit Club does not give you this. Can you see now why it won't work for you and you'll just be spending money and not seeing any results?
What they do is start in the middle, which is certainly not the way to go about building a successful online business. This will only lead to failure.
How to do keyword research PLUS a lot more teaching and training.
You can find out more about this platform by clicking the button below. The great thing about this is that you can test drive it for FREE. No credit card required. You can then upgrade to a month by month membership package or go yearly. Click on the button below for more information.
Again, let's get back to why the 700 Profit Club won't work … if you're still not convinced.
So without SEO, you will have no traffic (people visiting your website).
You want people to come to your website as they are your potential clients. However, as your websites are pretty much pre-built for you, who's to tell that this isn't a rehashed copy of an existing website? It more likely is as to create a proper website for 100s, if not 1000s of members will require time and effort but they see to create it 'on the fly' when you join so you can see that not much effort or thought has gone into this.
Copied websites and duplicate content will only get you penalised by Google, Bing, Yahoo and the other search engines. Your website won't even get a peep in from visitors.
Are you willing to take the risk of parting with $150+ only to find that it's money down the drain? I think I know the answer.
If you are new to building an online business, having a website with no training will get you nowhere.
The best way to build a sustainable online business is to do some training. In fact, most people get ahead in life by continually investing in training. Even the top guys like Richard Branson, Tony Robbins, Alexis Ohanian (Serena Williams' husband), Neil Patel and many others keep up-to-date with their training schedule as they know how important it is to do so – methods change, systems change, technology advances if you don't keep abreast of things, you will be left behind.
I was glad that I came across a training platform which I will introduce to you shortly.
But, let me tell you how I found it.
I was searching for ways to build an online business, like how you searched for reviews on the 700 profit club and landed here on my site.
I landed on a site that had a review of the training platform and as it was free to try, I thought I would give it a go as no credit card was required.
If you want to be trained properly on building an online business that is scalable and will allow you to diversify into other areas, then this training platform will offer you this.
Click the button below for more information about the platform.
No auto-pilot system can make you money online. You need to work hard.
There are lots of negative feedback concerning CoolHandle.
Limited time offer – to get you to sign up quick.
Lots of complaints from customers of CoolHandle.
I certainly do not recommend 700 Profit club as you will not make money from this scam. The only people to make money are the people promoting it – whoever they may be.
Making money online isn't as easy as how they make it out to be; I'm going to be honest with you – It takes hard work, patience and committed. Those who are in it for the long haul are the winners.
Those who are looking for get-rich-quick schemes or products that promise huge sums of money without lifting a finger are looking at immediate results to satisfy themselves. They may get the satisfaction they are looking for but at a huge cost and it'll soon dwindle away.
People who are serious about building an online business are looking for sustainability and a business that will give them a passive income for years to come. This is a much better outlook! Once you have put in the hard work, you can then expect to see the income come in when you're sleeping, when you're away from the computer, on holiday and so on.
That's the business model that I want to show you only if you're serious about making money online.
If you haven't got the time or are not willing to put in the effort, then this won't be for you. As I said before, making money isn't as easy as how some of these scammers make it out to be but it can be done if you have the proper training and support.
I have been online for a number of years; I was paying huge amounts to others to help set up my site until I came across the training platform I now use. Looking back I know that I wasted a lot of money as building a profitable website can be achieved by anyone.
You too can start to build your own site. Why not take control of your own destiny and stop paying others?
If you're smart and willing to work hard to achieve your dreams of making money online, check out the platform I recommend which has a free trial where you get 10 video-based lessons on how to set up your online business. This alone is worth more than the hosting fee that 700 Profit Club is asking of you.
If you want more details on this program, click the button below where you will be taken to a review of the product and how to become a member.
I have included a Comparison chart so you can see at a glance how the two products fare side by side and which one offers more value.
Stop wasting your time with these products and services that promise you the world, are misleading and leave you frustrated and disappointed.
It's time for you to take matters into your own hands.
Go on, build yourself your own profitable business, like I have done!
In the meantime, if you have any questions or comments about this 700 Profit Club review, please feel free to leave them below and I will get back to you.

Technolust Dev Announces Look & Loot: Epic Pets for Gear VR
By Jamie Feltham	 On Sep 3, 2014
Iris VR, the developer of the anticipated upcoming virtual reality (VR) videogame Technolust, has revealed that it is one of a number of developers signing up to work on the newly-revealed Samsung Gear VR smartphone-based head-mounted display (HMD). However, instead of simply porting Technolust to the new platform the developer has instead announced a brand new title. That title is Look & Loot: Epic Pets.
Look & Loot: Epic Pets has players searching for loot across a fantastical landscape. As players search, their pet follows their direction, gathering the treasure. That loot is then used to upgrade pets both visually and on a performance level, allowing for more successful runs. New locations and pets will be unlocked as players progress. An early example shows a unicorn being used to collect look, although the developer has teased that Pandas, Rhinos and Dragons will also be included.
Iris VR also noted that Look & Loot: Epic Pets was releasing on Android-based mobile devices, suggesting that it could also be compatible with our smartphone HMDs, though further compatibility was not announced. It is suggested that this title is the first in a series of Look & Loot videogames, although further plans are yet to be announced. VRFocus will continue to follow the title moving forward, reporting back with any further updates.

Prugger's contribution to the 6th Biennale Gherdëina takes on a conceptual approach. Responding to the Biennale's theme and considering its "guest of honor", Déodat de Dolomieu, Prugger sculpts the bust of the famous French geologist, based upon the late 18th century engraving, and he combines it with a framed front page of the major local newspaper Dolomiti which temporarily alters its name to Dolomieu to celebrate the Father of the Dolomites's 268th birthday on June 23rd and pay a symbolic homage to the scientist and explorer as well as to the mountains themselves and its community. The mountains constitute Prugger's biotope and they narrate the artist's identity at large. With his text-based work, Writing the Mountains, he uses a thin sheet of stone as a blackboard to spell out the very act of writing with the powder of the crashed Dolomite rock. Tautological at its core, Writing the Mountains is the artist's gestural manifesto, portrait of the mountains as a site of resilience and a constant transformation.
