I ran into a website that offers free music. I appears as though there are a couple of different licenses available, but most of the material can be used for anything without violation of their terms and conditions.
You certainly could use it for background music for online videos.
You could use it for background music for audio recordings.
You could use it for intro and outro music for an audio or webinar presentation.
Looks like a huge collection of free music in countless number of musical styles.
How to search and replace for multiple webpages.
I made a forum post to help a fellow who was looking to do the following and thought it might help my readers looking to quickly make changes to existing webpages without having to do it manually…here's the question.
Let's say I want to add a new link to my menu on all my 10,000 pages of my site.
Anyone know of a software that automates this task? I did hear about one years ago… but forgot the name.
If your menu is confined to a snippet of code you can use the software to located that snippet and replace it with the new menu snippet.
As someone else mentioned, I'd find the snippet for the menu and then replace the snippet with a php include. This would bring the code in from an external file. This would also allow you to make changes to one file and have those changes show up on every page automatically.
Word of caution. Once you change something with this software there is NO UNDO! So copy a folder and practice before you actually use it.
Also, the way it works…is that you locate the folder that your webpages are in and tell it to look for "something" to replace with "something" If you use your local folder, make the changes you can upload and overwrite the existing files….so you won't have to download all 10,000 pages.
Steve was manually sending email to craiglist buyers suggesting ebay products. Now….. he has automated the process and its called CraigsAgent!
Are you maximizing your affiliate marketing potential by utilizing the most popular websites on the internet? If you don't already know about the simple method I'm about to reveal to you, you're missing out on a lot of potential income.
Craigslist.org now receives over 25,000,000 monthly visitors, with 20% of those visitors posting want ads. That's 5 MILLION potential clients with money in hand BEGGING YOU to help them locate the items they need!
However, only a handful of marketers know how to harness the power of this highly profitable market… The secret lies in the process of marketing the items you find to these clients and striking a decent and steady profit.
I'm going to reveal that secret strategy to you right now. In fact, fill in your name and email address and I'll send you a link to a video that explains the entire process!
The idea is simple and the results are fantastic. You simply promote eBay products, with your custom affiliate link, to those people on Craigslist who are ready to buy the products you find for them!
1. Searching the "wanted" sections of Craigslist for hours at a time.
2. Finding the requested items on eBay.
3. Manually creating an affiliate link for EACH ITEM.
4. Creating an email with a unique message containing your affiliate link.
But as you can already tell, there has always been one major problem. Promoting enough products to make a decent profit literally takes hours upon hours to accomplish, day after day. It's slow, tedious, and quite frankly, more boring than watching paint dry.
What Can CraigsAgent Do For You?
In a nutshell, it provides a custom user interface that allows you to quickly search through the wanted ads on Craigslist, find matching products on eBay, and quickly send out hundreds of custom emails containing YOUR eBay affiliate links!
I forgot to mention this great report is Free!
Josh is telling us that if you want "Authority" for your niche….the links 'coming to' your niche site must be from a quality site….an authority site in and of itself and a site with some page rank. Basically a page of value, especially as determined by Google and the lesser search engines.
Another thing to consider….imagine you are working on building an authority site on the Xsitepro website editing software your strategy should focus on getting links from other sites about website building….xsitepro in particular and those links should be from sites similar to or better than yours regarding the features we already talked about…. authority, rank, seo etc. So there would be little to no value in joining a link exchange program that sends PR1 links to your xsitepro website from sites that range from birdflu to Bill Clinton.
He goes on to say in "The Easy SEO Report" that each page on the world wide web is ranked individually, consequently each page that is on the net can only pass on the amount of Authority it has Received. Get this concept and you're on the way to greater seo truths. If you have internal pages in your website about How to Use XsitePro (our example) with a higher page rank and getting more traffic than the index (first page) then it's because of the Authority Links going to those internal pages and not the index page.
If you're smart, you will build on that by focusing your marketing on those high traffic pages, add a popup, subscription box, banner or other advertising…..but that's another story.
Authority is also passed through your own internal paes, For instance, if your index (http://www.yoursite.com) is linking out to 30 pages, each of those links is going to get a certain amount of the authority in which your index page possesses. That goes for both internal and external links. If yoursite.com is only linking to yoursite.com/yourpage.html and hissite.com/hispage.html….then yoursite.com/yourpage.html is going to get half of the passable authority and hissite.com/hispage.html is going to get the other half.
What Josh is saying is that it is irrelevant (regarding the fact that authority is passed) where you're linking to, whether it be your own internal pages or pages from Joe Blows site….some portion of your Authority is going to get passed regardless of anything……seems to be kind of like gravity. Jump out the window and go splat…link to other pages/sites and pass your authority.
If you've followed so far I hope you've realized that the Authority your site has gained can be passed on other websites and webpages. The consquence is that you might now be just passing on the hard earned Authority your site has gained by indiscriminate linking. The good news is, now you know and can be more careful where and how you link to others.
I'm not the expert…but I agree with Josh, he remarks that he isn't condolling the hording of links because it is only natural to link to other sites if your own content is going to be useful to the reader. Armed with this information about Authority and the fact that it is passed should make you more discerning about linking to other sites or pages.
This review is only a small part of Josh Spaldings free ebook "The Easy SEO Report" and I found it concise and easy to apply and current. Worthy of reading by novice and the old wrinkled marketers/gurus.
This is just a section from a great read written by a guy who knows what he's talking about. Thanks Josh!
Now I'm thinking about my Xsitepro sample site. I go back in my minds eye and think about the pie chart. The complete chart represents the Authority I have build for the website. Keeping the Authority leaves me kind of like the Lone Ranger….passing on some of that Authority to others of similar or more Authority will increase my Authority. So I give away a part of my pie chart only the make it bigger in the long run…..as long as I do it with a little forethought and planning. And don't forget, Authority comes from being real, writing for the sole and single purpose of trying to maintain Authority makes you look like a miser because your content won't be real. Like I tell my kids, "share" and it will be given back.

There was an interesting question on the Warrior Forum regarding how to use Camtasia.
Sometimes we forget how difficult things can seem when first trying an application or installing a script. So what is obvious to some becomes a major road blog to others.
Apparently a new Camstasia user was having a tough time trying to get a video to show up on their website after spending an hour recording the video. They ended up with a .camrec file and weren' sure what to do with it.
I can only speak from the experience of Camtasia ver 4 so, if ver 5 handles .camrec files differently then I just spread some misinformation. Anyway, here's a copy of my post along with some of the other solutions. They just might help you go in the right direction when trying to produce a screen capture video.
Tiffany…what version of Camtasia are you using?
First you need to drop or import the "filename.camrec" into Camtasia Production.
Drag the "filename.camrec" to your timeline.
At this point…I would split the video into 4 to 6 different segments…thereby reducing the file size making the file sizes smaller and easier for slower connections to view.
There's too many variables to discuss here that help to determine file size, but by splitting one large file into smaller ones it will help to keep your viewers attention amongst other things.
Let's say you didn't want to split the file. Next you need to PRODUCE the video. On the far left there is a section called PRoduce…click on "Produce video as" ….choose your production options and produce the video. Camtasia 'renders' the project and a 1 hour video will take quite a while…especially on an older machine.
You'll get a folder with files. Upload the entire folder and and link to the .html file to play the video….I should backup and say, first try to play the video on your local machine by clicking on the .html file ….if it works then upload.
Here is a pretty easy tutorial on how to do it.
The .camrec file is the raw screen capture data. It is only useful to loading into Camtasia for editing.
Open your project and produce the video as .swf or .flv.
The file size will be much smaller and will stream much better.
If you are using Camtasia 5. I would recommend using the ExpressShow Flash player. It has the ability to let the user expand the video to full screen.
Basically if you want to produce an hour video, put it on CD….I totally agree, especially if its a 700MB file.
They've had good luck with Flvproducer?
My Note: I don't think Flvproducer works with camrec files.
Cut up the original video into some 10 min segments to post to YouTube putting backlinks to the original 1 hour video….I agree, good way to generate some interst.
Although the new ver5 has a ton of new features, there's a bit of a learning curve for anyone who's never used it before. Camtasia has pretty good support, and they have a great forum. Also, there is a good selection of training videos on the Camstasia site.
As you get a handle on Camtasia, you'll want to find out how to get the best looking video and audio while maintaining a small file size. Camtasia has a variety of tweaks that allows you to reduce frame rate, audio sampling and a few other tweaks that can cut a video size in half.
You can pick up a completely free version of Camtasia and give it a whirl if you haven't used it before. Also, if you decided to upgrade, you can save a lot of cash by upgrading from this free version…..a little known secret.
Leave your name and email address and I'll send you a report with the secret download link for a free copy of camtasia (completely legal & no affiliate commission for me)….I'm here to serve!
I love public domain and love to share sources for public domain material. I think I would think twice about sharing these resources but I know that only 2% to 7% of those reading this will actually take any type of action.
I'm sure you know Walt Disney started his empire with public domain material…..his cartoons all came from public domain sources. I know of one guy who used public domain material, burned them on a CD took it to their local Walmart and ended up going country wide with the CD…..needless to say with a little effort public domain materials made him a small forutune and changed his lifestyle overnight.
If you'd like to find out more about Public Domain and how to use it, I have a great ebook that will help get you started if you're a beginner and might even remind you of a few things if you've been around for a while. The book is called The Public Domain Advantage …….and here's a secret code to use at the bottom of the page…..just put "pd50″ without the quotes and you'll get the book at half price.
free "unrestricted" use legally in a flash!
find Public Domain photos, music and even films!
to get Public Domain materials from the U.S. Government!
work in the Public Domain!
Don't forget to check out the Public Domain Resources Book for Free Content…….. The book is called The Public Domain Advantage …….and here's a secret code to use at the bottom of the page…..just put "pd50″ without the quotes and you'll get the book at half price.
I've been using Winzip for ages. It's a good program for zipping files but I found a better one called WinRAR.
Download the trial version and discover a program that is much better than WinZip. You can break up a large file automatically into smaller files and upload them. Once the guy downloads the split files he can easily recompile the split file. has a ton of features…. WinRAR many more than WinZip.
I've been using WinRAR exclusively in place of Winzip. Download the trial version and give it a try….I guarantee you'll like it.
WinRAR is a 32-bit Windows version of RAR Archiver, an archiver and archive manager. RAR files can usually compress content 8 percent to 15 percent more than ZIP files. WinRAR's main features include strong general and multimedia compression, the ability to process non-RAR archive formats, ZIP compression and decompression, long filename support, programmable self-extracting archives (SFX), damaged archive repair, authenticity verification, embedded file comments, and encryption. Unicode is supported in archive filenames, allowing non-English filenames to be handled painlessly You can manipulate the parameters of many archives at once and view a volume sequence as a single archive. WinRAR is able to convert other archive formats to RAR. It supports the Find command, allowing search for specified text and files in archives.
WinRAR gives you all future UPDATES for FREE! Not like the competition that will make you pay again every one or two years.

Q: how to do Dynamic selection With VBA code Original Code
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Range("Sheet2!$A$1:$A$12,Sheet2!$C$1:$C$12")

In this code i want my range selection to be dynamic, i tried the code below, which gives me $A$1:$A$12
Range(Range("a1"), Range("a1").End(xlDown)).Address

i tried replacing it in the original code but didn't work,
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Range(""Sheet2"&"!"& Range(Range("a1"), Range("a1").End(xlDown)).Address,Sheet2!$C$1:$C$12")

i even tried declaring a variable then adding that to code but still same error
cde = "Sheet2" & "!" & Range(Range("a1"), Range("a1").End(xlDown)).Address
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Range("cde,Sheet2!$C$1:$C$12")

What should b the right code?

A: Step By Step

*

*Adjust the worksheet name ("Sheet2", the name in the tabs) and the chart object name ("Chart 1").

*The following solution 'assumes' that the data and the chart object are on the same worksheet. If not, define another worksheet e.g. ws1 and use it like this:
Set cho = ws1.ChartObjects("Chart 1")
The Code
Option Explicit

Sub populateChart()

    ' Define workbook.
    Dim wb As Workbook
    Set wb = ThisWorkbook ' The workbook containing this code.
    ' Define worksheet.
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Set ws = wb.Worksheets("Sheet2")
    ' Define range.
    Dim rng As Range
    ' If you want to include data from column 'B' then:
    'Set rng = ws.Range(ws.Range("A1"), ws.Range("A1").End(xlDown)).Resize(, 3)
    ' If not then:
    Set rng = ws.Range(ws.Range("A1"), ws.Range("A1").End(xlDown))
    Set rng = Union(rng, ws.Range(ws.Range("C1"), ws.Range("C1").End(xlDown)))
    ' Define chart object.
    Dim cho As ChartObject
    Set cho = ws.ChartObjects("Chart 1")
    ' Set source data.
    cho.Chart.SetSourceData Source:=rng

End Sub

A: this worked
Private Sub Macro1()
Dim fc As String
Dim sc As String
Dim ra As String

fc = "chart!" & Range(Range("A1"), Range("a1").End(xlDown)).Address
sc = "chart!" & Range(Range("c1"), Range("c1").End(xlDown)).Address
ra = fc & "," & sc

ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart2(201, xlColumnClustered).Select
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Range(ra)
End Sub

You are in : All News > UK industry urges future government to pay closer attention to labor pool deficits amid lagging exports
UK industry urges future government to pay closer attention to labor pool deficits amid lagging exports
22 Nov 2019 --- The UK Food and Drink Federation (FDF) has released the Food and Drink Manufacturers' Manifesto, calling on Britain's next government to champion the nation's food and drink sector, and support long-standing industry proposals to boost sector productivity. Among the listed priorities is establishing a "closest possible" UK-EU trade and regulatory partnership, while making moves to offset significant labor shortages on the homefront. An existing dearth in the national workforce is expected to be aggravated by a loss of European labor post-Brexit.
"We know the next government – of whatever political hue – will want to tackle the issues of productivity, obesity and plastic packaging. To do that successfully, it will need to work effectively with the industry and the FDF," says Ian Wright, FDF Chief Executive.
"The food and drink manufacturing industry touches every person, every community and every constituency in the country. It's the UK's largest manufacturing industry. Its success is integral to the country's wider economic prosperity, with an impact far beyond London and the South East," he asserts.
FDF's manifesto outlines five key policies the next government must implement to ensure the industry continues to "thrive, supporting the considerable contribution it makes socially, culturally and economically to communities throughout the country." They are:
Prioritize the closest possible UK-EU trade and regulatory relationship.
Work with industry to develop home-grown talent and boost skills to equip the industry for its future.
Support efforts to make food production and consumption more environmentally sustainable, and help tackle climate change.
Tackle obesity and other dietary concerns through a holistic, evidence-based partnership which reflects real lifestyles.
Drive productivity with the Food and Drink Sector Council (FDSC) the leading vehicle for partnership with government.
Click to EnlargeLabor shortages are likely to worsen post-Brexit, notes the FDF.The FDF stresses that the food and drink sector has a significant impact on the UK economy, contributing £121 billion (US$156 billion) to national Gross Value Added and employing over four million people (14 percent of the national workforce), spread across every region of the UK.
In October, the challenges caused by a shrinking labor supply across the UK food supply chain were underscored by the FDSC. The council's report highlights the growing skills shortage in Britain since the Brexit referendum over three years ago and calls for urgent action to remedy gaps in certain sectors. This statement was issued as net migration is forecast to fall in the coming years, which will further impact the nation's food supply.
"Labor shortages are likely to worsen post-Brexit, due in part to lower net migration. The issue around labor shortages is heightened by the fact that migrants tend to fall in the working age category," an FDF spokesperson tells FoodIngredientsFirst.
Net workforce growth in UK food and drink since 2012 has been driven by EU nationals. "The challenges we face will be further exacerbated if our future immigration system doesn't allow businesses to access the workers they need. Over a quarter of our workforce are EU nationals, operating at all skills levels."
In October, the EU signed off on a third extension of the Brexit deadline, leaving UK industry representatives simmering over "wasted preparations." Contingency planning for an indefinite outcome has cost British businesses "hundreds of millions," siphoned from core business operations. The Brexit "flextension" allows the UK government to leave the bloc at any given point in time until January 31, 2020, although it remains unclear about precisely what the next move will be.
Click to EnlargeRepresentatives of the EU agri-food chain have rallied for a Brexit deal that includes a free trade agreement (FTA)."Untapped potential" for UK exports
The FDF further highlights a need to ramp up export activity, stating, "With just one in five food and drink businesses exporting, there remains much untapped potential within the sector. The next government must work with industry to create a dedicated future trade policy that builds on this fantastic opportunity."
The EU has adjunctly rallied for a free trade agreement with the UK. Representatives of the European agri-food chain including Copa-Cogeca, CELCAA and FoodDrinkEurope have openly endorsed a Brexit deal that includes a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with zero tariffs and quantitative restrictions between the EU and the UK.
"Proximity is key for trade in limited shelf life products and for just-in-time supply chains. That is why more than two thirds of UK trade in food and drink is with the EU27. The continued ability to trade ingredients and finished goods without friction and costly regulatory barriers is vital to our future success," asserts the FDF.
"The EU market is by far the largest and most important to UK food and drink manufacturers, for both imports and exports. In particular, food and drink ties between Great Britain, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are extremely tightly woven. Continued seamless trade is critical. Our access to the trade agreements negotiated by the EU with third countries has been crucial to food and drink's export success," it further highlights.
New opportunities for UK meat exports lay on the Eastern horizon. The two-decade ban that prevented British beef exports to China finally came to an end earlier this year. In June, Chinese government officials signed a protocol agreement to ship beef from the UK for the first time in 20 years, marking the end of a ban following the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) outbreak. Approval has been granted for full access in a beef trade deal estimated to be worth around £230 million (US$299 million) over the first five years.
In October, FoodIngredientsFirst met with representatives of the US poultry sector on the showfloor of Anuga 2019, in Cologne, Germany. The UK's departure from strict EU legislation regarding poultry could present lucrative trade opportunities for US exports, according to the USA Poultry and Egg Export Council. However, overcoming negative perceptions surrounding chlorinated chicken and its usage rate will be crucial to succeeding.
"Strategic partnerships with government, including the FDSC, have been long overdue but are finally delivering. The next administration must seize upon this once in a generation opportunity to develop these relationships and build the food and drink industry our people demand and deserve," concludes Wright.

Shanghai Platinum Week: Strengthening China's Links with the Global PGM Market
By Weibin Deng, Head of Asia Pacific, World Platinum Investment Council
The backdrop of increased volatility and uncertainty instability has certainly provided a boost in interest and investment demand for gold, which has seen its safe-haven status reinforced. In a stagflation environment, investors have been looking toward the yellow metal to hedge risk, and the yellow metal has remained near all-time highs.
In his update on the global bullion market, David Tait, World Gold Council (WGC) global Chief Executive Officer (CEO), noted that while gold continues to meet the challenges of an uncertain world, so too must the gold industry. According to Tait, the industry must meet the requirements of modern investors, and there is a need for the industry to adapt to the changing environment and requirements of stakeholders.
"The gold market is not immune to changes in technology. The market should fully grasp opportunities new technologies provide", Tait said, citing integrity and provenance as issues new technologies can address. He noted climate related risks and opportunities that can impact the gold industry, and highlighted WGC's efforts to ensure gold is responsibly sourced and produced, and that it meets carbon and environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals.
Tait also said that WGC's Retail Gold Investment Principles will be formally launched later this year, and a gold investment curriculum will be launched in Singapore before it is rolled out worldwide.
"2022 looks to be another great year for gold in India", PR Somasundaram, WGC's regional CEO in India, said in his presentation on the demand for gold in the second largest consumer market globally.
The 85% jump in demand in the fourth quarter of 2021 validated strong socioeconomic role of gold and India's economic recovery, Somasundaram said, hailing it as an "unprecedented quarter".
The rebound exceeded expectations, he said, noting that the last time there was such a huge jump was in 2013, on the back of a dropping prices globally. Now, prices are 62% higher than in 2013. The country is seeing continued investment demand among households, with pent-up demand for jewellery, and resumption of festivities, which are typically gold-buying drivers, after almost two years of Covid-related restrictions.
Somasundaram noted that among retail customers, 50,000 rupees per 10g is now an accepted price point – up from 31-32,000 rupees just two years ago. Manufacturing is also "way ahead of demand", indicating the positive sentiment in the sector, amid an eight-year high in bar and coin demand. The country's central bank also added 77 tonnes of gold to reserves in 2021 – the largest increase since 2009.
Similarly, Roland Wang, WGC's regional CEO in China, said physical gold demand remains strong in the Middle Kingdom, despite lower trading volumes. He said demand has not been impacted by trading volume as they are driven by different groups of buyers.
Roland Wang, World Gold Council Regional CEO in China, speaking about Heritage Gold
Wang cited several key trends currently driving gold demand in China. First, the surge in popularity of so-called heritage gold, which has gained traction among younger consumers. The per-gram pricing method has helped improve pricing transparency and improved confidence among consumers. Young consumers, who recognise financial and investment value of gold jewellery, are also coming into the market, while strong sales during the Chinese New Year period have boosted industry confidence, Wang said.
In terms of driving investment demand, WGC is working with local stakeholders to improve investment demand and product innovation in the institutional sector. Several drivers exist for retail gold investment, including rising inflationary pressure, lower opportunity costs, increased uncertainties, and growing wealth management awareness among younger consumers, Wang said.
As such, Wang said demand outlook is "well above" pre-pandemic levels, and the industry is headed for a sustainable future. He said he has "full confidence" that there will be healthy demand again this year – likely two-digit growth, given trends seen in the first two months.
Paul Wilson, CEO World Platinum Investment Council, noted the "unusually higher demand" for investor interest in platinum. While the picture in 2020 was largely one of deficit because investment demand was high, there has been increasing supply over last two years, and mine supply recovered last year along with an increase in production, though supply is not expected to grow too much in 2022, he said.
Despite a chip shortage, there has been continued recovery in automotive market, so demand for catalysts has gone up, Wilson noted. There is "considerable" demand potential for platinum worldwide, including for heavy vehicle platinum loadings in China. Decarbonisation is also driving platinum demand, as the metal is an essential component in producing green hydrogen. "Once the market realises this, there will be booming exchange-traded fund (ETF) demand", Wilson said
"The reality is that there is a tightness in the platinum market worldwide. Investment demand is expected to soak up excess supply. China is driving massive consumption in platinum. Going forward, times look pretty good", Wilson said.
Nikos Kavalis, Metals Focus founding partner provided an outlook for the sector against the escalation of hostilities in Ukraine, which has catalysed a rapid rally across all precious metals. According to him, the war will have a short-term impact and the price of gold will eventually will return to hinge on macro factors, meaning liquidation and correction is expected.

Kavalis also pointed out that the rate of inflation, which has risen to multi-decade highs, and levels not seen since the 1980s, has had a muted effect on gold. He explained this to be because gold's links with inflation is weak and inconsistent over time, and that the link is indirect and mainly seen through real rates and yields.
"The consensus that high inflation is transitory and will not last long. This has capped interest rates in gold", he said. On the back of macroeconomic developments, robust physical investment expected to remain a theme in 2022, Kavalis added.
For silver, Kavalis said a transition is currently underway in the market – the silver market is moving from structural surplus to structural deficit over the coming decade. This is a result of industrial demand, particularly green energy and technologies, and an increase in the use of silver-bearing components in mobility. All this points to healthy growth in the years ahead and offers silver support going forward, he said.
"Once the dust settles, gold and silver will be supported due to adjustment of interest rate hike adjustments, which we believe has gone too far", Kavalis said, adding that he will not be surprised if gold drops to less than 1,700 by the end of the year. "But case for diversification remains solid", he concluded.


Metabolism can be easily understood as the rate at which your body consumes or burns calories. There are quite a few people who have a fast metabolism. On the other hand, there are peope who have a slow metabolism. These people tend to gain fat even if they don't eat much because the little that they eat is not digested properly. Instead, it is stored in the body as fat. People with a fast metabolism find it easier to lose weight. Those with a slower metabolism find it difficult to do the same. This can be an even bigger problem for women.
Women who have a slower metabolism often diet to lose weight. They eat less and tend to starve themselves. Their theory is that this practice should boost the calorie-burning process; however, it works quite contrary to this. If you starve yourself to lose weight, your metabolism slows down. For a woman who already has a slow metabolism, this can become a bigger problem. They may actually gain weight instead of losing it. How, then, can women with a slow metabolism lose weight?
The first thing you should do is determine the reason your metabolism is slow. For some women, the problem is genetic. But there are others who may have this issue due to a medical concern. This is why you should consult your doctor. If there is a medical reason for your metabolism being slow, you should talk to your doctor regarding what you should do. If it is genetic, you should eat foods that can actually boost your slow metabolism.
The first step toward boosting your metabolism is to eat more. The trick here is not to eat a large quantity of food at once. Instead, divide your food into portions, consuming them over the course of the day. Frequent eating compels your metabolism to work harder. You should avoid foods that contain sugar and carbohydrates that are refined. Such foods can actually disrupt your metabolism by causing severe drops and spikes in blood-sugar levels.
A sure-shot way of boosting your metabolism is to consume foods that are low-fat and energy-rich. Low-fat dairy products, beans, and lentils are excellent for boosting your metabolism. Do keep in mind that once your metabolism is working at full swing, you will find it easier to lose weight.
If you are having trouble losing weight due to a slow metabolism, keep these tips and options in mind.


Property insurance: For theft or fire. Earthquake and flood protection must be purchased separately.
Business interruption: Provides substitute income if your business is damaged from theft or fire.
Key person insurance and group life insurance: Provides a lump-sum payment if a key person dies or cannot work anymore.
Home based business insurance: Covers items not normally covered with a homeowners policy, such as inventory and office machines.
Commercial auto: Covers you and your employees for work-related accidents.
Workers compensation insurance: Required by law for businesses with employees. Pays for expenses and provides income if employees are injured while performing the job.
Health insurance: Pays for medical expenses (except expenses covered by workers compensation insurance).
Talk to an agent Every business owner should discuss their insurance needs with an authorized agent. In particular, home occupation businesses should review their homeowner's policy to determine whether that policy covers their home business.
On-the-job injuries If you have employees, you are required by law to carry workers compensation insurance. However, this insurance is generally not available to business owners. Instead, sole proprietors and partners must carry their own health and disability insurance.
Ask vendors for certificate of insurance Before you conduct business with others - especially if they will handle your products or will perform a potentially hazardous job (even driving a car), ask them to provide you a certificate of insurance from their insurance carrier.

Q: How to configure p6spy for mssql server with hibernate? In our web application we are using spring, hibernate & sql server 2016 as db. We are using jndi to connect to the database. To record all the queries executed by hibernate I am trying to implement the p6spy.
Here are the changes I have made.
Changed the resource information from
<Resource name="jdbc/eportalcore" auth="Container"
            type="javax.sql.DataSource"
            driverClassName="com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver"
            url="jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=eportal-core;"
            username="eportaldbadmin"
            password="P@ssw0rd"
            maxTotal="100"
            maxIdle="20"
            minIdle="5"
            maxWaitMillis="10000" />

to
<Resource name="jdbc/eportalcore" auth="Container"
            type="javax.sql.DataSource"
            driverClassName="com.p6spy.engine.spy.P6SpyDriver"
            url="jdbc:p6spy:sqlserver://localhost:1433/eportal-core"
            username="eportaldbadmin"
            password="P@ssw0rd"
            maxTotal="100"
            maxIdle="20"
            minIdle="5"
            maxWaitMillis="10000" />

and added the spy.properties file under lib folder of tomcat directory. Also I have placed the p6spy-3.0.0.jar too inside the lib folder.
But after this my application is not getting connected to the DB. What mistake I am doing here? If I remove this changes then it is working fine.
Any suggestions?

A: I had the same question and here is what I did to make it work. Note my Database connection properties are in a property file (shouldn't be an issue) and that I use tomcat as an Application Server. You can also add P6Spy as a Maven dependency in your project.
Before :
db.properties
db.driver=net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver
db.url=jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://${db.server}/${db.name};useNTLMv2=true;domain=XX

After :
Download(latest version when writing this response) the project. Put the p6spy-3.7.0.jar and spy.properties in the tomcat/lib folder. Change the spy.properties and application properties as noted under. Restart application and you should find a spy.log where your logs are printed normally.
db.properties
db.driver=com.p6spy.engine.spy.P6SpyDriver
db.url=jdbc:p6spy:jtds:sqlserver://${db.server}/${db.name};useNTLMv2=true;domain=XX

spy.properties
driverlist=net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver


Water covers approximately 70% of the Earth's surface. About 98% of our water is in the oceans, leaving about 2% which is fresh.
We shouldn't, because without it, not one of us would survive. Water is one of nature's masterpieces.
Yes, I realize that it sounds like a cliche, writing about that 'wet stuff' that pours from our taps -- but consider - how would your life be without it? To truly appreciate and experience this wonder, try this; paddle about in a slow moving creek - feel the water flowing between your toes - listen - as it chuckles across the pebbles in a shady glade.
If you are lucky enough to live near a waterfall like the one in this photo above - sit close-by - hear it - listen as it tumbles down across the moss-covered rocks - feel the cooling mist on your skin.
Stand on a hill or ridgeline, blanketed by fog - cold vapour tendrils reaching out - chilling moisture upon your cheeks.
Cold vapour amongst the trees.
All of these images display the wonder of water in all of its forms - liquid - gaseous - solid. Water slakes our thirst, cools our bodies and saves our lives.
"Contrary to conventional wisdom, an estimated 62 percent of precipitation occurs over land as a result of evapo-transpiration from lakes and wetlands and dense vegetation, particularly forests, which pump ground water into the sky."
It must decrease, and commonsense tells us that as rainfall decreases there is less water flowing from the streams into the lakes; and less water to grow and sustain vegetation.
This graphic below clearly shows the links between evapo-transpiration and rainfall.
The link between evapo-transpiration and rainfall.
Water is the Key to our personal and community survival, and before we can protect ourselves and our families, we need to protect our environment. Because each single element supports the other, they are all intertwined.
Without water - we cannot stop wildfires.
So, just as military commanders prepare their ground before battle so too must we prepare the ground on which we plan to fight. Only, our enemy is wildfire and one thing is for sure - wildfires never show mercy!


Jeffrey Slayter | What could be the future of humanity?
Sometimes I find myself having no words to express it. I find that the language as what we know can never truly demonstrate the perfect explanation.
Yet I find that it can be fully expressed with love, with music, and the openness to consider that we are here to birth heaven on earth.
And as we step into our creative forces we are being supported by Mother Earth. One of the ways she supports us is through the healing plants in the Amazons that have existed for centuries, just waiting to be discovered and integrated into our lives. These master plants are our allies. I have heard stories they could even be us in the future, talking back to us and telling us that we are not alone.
It may seem difficult to process because we have been deeply programmed to believe what we currently hold as truth.
Yet notice that what we have right now as normal is not working. So let's try something else.
What if what's possible is pure creation? No give and no take anymore? That would be so worth incarnating into this crazy world just to make that happen.
2 Responses to What could be the future of humanity?
You have the words actually. You are communicating it. Your words resonate with me; the message has been received, thank you Jeffrey. I share what you are reminding me each time and I continuously learn more. Thank you.


Definition: Pick an element from the array (the pivot), partition the remaining elements into those greater than and less than this pivot, and recursively sort the partitions. There are many variants of the basic scheme above: to select the pivot, to partition the array, to stop the recursion or switch to another algorithm for small partitions, etc.
in-place sort, Las Vegas algorithm when the pivot is picked randomly.
balanced quicksort, multikey Quicksort, introspective sort.
partition, divide and conquer, recursion, Select, sublinear time algorithm.
See also external quicksort, dual-pivot quicksort.
Note: Quicksort has running time Θ(n²) in the worst case, but it is typically O(n log n). In practical situations, a finely tuned implementation of quicksort beats most sort algorithms, including sort algorithms whose theoretical complexity is O(n log n) in the worst case.
Select can be used to always pick good pivots, thus giving a variant with O(n log n) worst-case running time.
Newer variants, such as dual-pivot quicksort, are faster because they access less memory.

And the Wind Sees All by by Guđmundur Andri Thorsson (transl. Björg Árnadóttir and Andrew Cauthery)
Guđmundur Andri Thorsson's And the Wind Sees All is the third in Peirene's 'Home in Exile' series. I reviewed Soviet Milk here earlier in the year but chickened out of Shadows on the Tundra, billed as Lithuanian survival literature. I'm sure it's very good, I've yet to read anything published by Peirene that isn't, but I fancied something a little more cheerful. And the Wind Sees All takes place over the brief bicycle ride that Kata takes to Valeyri's village hall in preparation for the evening's concert, taking in the stories of the villagers who catch sight of her out of the corner of their eyes.
Today is Midsummer's Day and Kata is determined the concert will be a success. Mounting her bike in her blue polka-dot dress, she remembers the man who loved her and who she loved. Each of the villagers she passes is preoccupied: the rich man, friendly enough, who keeps himself to himself remembers the wife he neglected; the village poet feels a poem on the tip of his pen which won't quite come; a woman remembers the rock star father of her child and the perfect guitar solo he played for her while her husband thinks about seabirds; another recounts a disturbing dream to her host, the village historian whose wife brings in the money. There are a multitude of secrets kept in Valeyri, many regrets revisited, loneliness endured and some quiet happiness, not to mention gossip, enjoyed.
The villagers' reveries, memories and reflections read almost like a chain of closely intertwined short stories through which Kata flits on her bike. Their overlapping and interlinked histories are all relayed in a mere two-minute journey, each of them quietly pulling the reader into their lives. There's humour, too – some of it gentle, some of it dark. Thorsson's writing is often strikingly beautiful – poetic yet understated, the repetition of phrases adding a rhythm and musicality. There are dozens of quotes I could have pulled out but here are some of my favourites:
The mist. It comes in off the sea and slides along the spit. Every summer's day, it creeps up the fiord as evening approaches, noses around the slopes and the foothills and slips into the village, where it curls around the boats in the harbour and licks the corners of the houses, before lifting itself
He felt the sun hot on his temples, intrusive as an overfriendly relation
She hears the solo in her head, enters it, stays there for a moment engulfed in the bright glow of its magnetic chaos, soars… She asks Guđjón if he would like more coffee
All of this is expertly translated by Björg Árnadóttir and Andrew Cauthery. The idea of a joint translation fascinates me. I can't imagine how they set about it but the result is a rather lovely piece of writing.
Which leads me to the launch of the Peirene Stevns Translation Prize. Lest you be thinking 'yet another prize', this one's different. It's to be awarded to a previously unpublished translator who will get a grant of £3,500 plus a residency in which to translate a novel to be published by Peirene in 2020. Details are here. I like the sound of a prize which aims to foster translating talent, So often translators are overlooked but without them us monolinguals wouldn't be able to read nearly as widely as we can.

Tulip Indeland is coloured in a dark brown-red hue. This species blooms mid- season, so the second half of April. What we like so much about Tulip Indeland are the pointy flowers. Many dark coloured tulips have beautiful round shapes, but this beauty looks more like a crown with sharp edges.

Reasons for watching reality TV in the U.S. 2017, by age
Reasons for watching reality TV in the United States as of March 2017, by age
by Amy Watson, last edited May 14, 2019
The main reason given for watching reality TV by U.S. adults was that respondents liked the drama, with 28 percent of 18 to 29-year-olds citing this as the primary appeal of the genre. Other reasons for viewing reality television included it being 'mindless' or thought of as 'good background noise', and some survey participants agreed that reality TV helps them forget about real issues in their lives.
Attitudes to reality TV in the U.S.
Reality TV may make a lot of noise in the news and on social media, but a survey revealed that reality shows were the least popular in the U.S., with respondents preferring comedy, drama and even shows in the horror genre. It was also found that the majority of adults thought there were too many reality shows on air, which is unsurprising given the genre's low favorability. However, quality of reality shows was considered to be an issue, with most adults saying that the reality TV genre has gotten worse in recent years.
Why does it matter who likes reality TV and who doesn't?
On the whole, genre preferences are incredibly subjective, and even those who generally dislike reality TV often find themselves binge-watching shows like 'RuPaul's Drag Race', 'The Voice' or 'Big Brother'. However, demand for a genre is often reflected in the types of TV shows and movies available on streaming services. For companies like Netflix, demand and favorability of certain genres is a key factor to take into account when creating original content. Data shows that Netflix largely sidelined the reality genre in its original programming, instead focusing heavily on comedy which has long been one of the most favorable genres among U.S. audiences.

Jerry graduated in mechanical engineering from UCL in 1977. Despite a numerate education, his interest rapidly turned towards marketing communications, and ended up combining the two in the digital world.
His marketing career began with British Aluminium followed by Volvo and then BMW, until 1986 when he met a bloke in a pub who was teaching computers to understand English. This was a few years before the worldwideweb was invented, so leaving a promising career in mainstream marketing to launch the world's first AI search engine was a bit of a risk to say the least. It also gave him his first crucial business lesson – timing is everything.
His second lesson was 'don't sell solutions to problems people don't yet have'. Since then he has learned many more lessons about what it takes to succeed as an entrepreneur. To date he has founded, and sold, a number of successful digital service businesses, mostly involved with the car industry.
These days he's a professional dragon or business angel. He still owns a few businesses he founded himself where he acts more as a mentor than being actively engaged, and invests in start-ups where his experience and network of connections might help to make a difference. He is also a volunteer business mentor for the Princes Trust and for Guildford Council.
In what spare time he has, he travels, plays tennis and golf, and regularly attends the TED conference where he mixes with the great and the good for what he calls his annual indulgence of inspiration and humiliation.

We all know it's coming.
As pressure on Drake increases, he's gonna have to take shots back. It's inevitable. Tossing off lines in interviews, about "ambitious thoughts" and a "moment to talk about"? OK, that was cool. But now his album's out. He's moving units. And Kendrick stays taking shots. The time is coming. Erykah Badu knows it. Complex knows it. What more do you need?
When Drake does decide to send shots—which, surely, must be inevitable—there are some things that he definitely should not do. We addressed those this morning. Drake definitely seems like the more vulnerable artist. After all, it's open season on the Canadian rapper on Twitter, and has been since he first arose as the monied son of Toronto's favorite teen drama. Stories about experience showers, his love of sweaters, everything else—it all makes him a pretty good target. By comparison, Kendrick Lamar is hip-hop's favorite son. Critically acclaimed, cosigned, lyrical, popular.
But although Kendrick Lamar seems musically bulletproof, there are a few openings Drake could exploit. We took a look at Kendrick Lamar's achilles heel. Here are 6 ways Drake could respond to Kendrick (And win!).

Baarle-Nassau  (in brabantino Baol) è una municipalità dei Paesi Bassi di 6.701 abitanti situata nella provincia del Brabante Settentrionale.

Nel suo interno si trova l'exclave belga di Baarle-Hertog, che a sua volta circonda 7 contro-enclavi olandesi.

Dopo il trattato tra India e Bangladesh del 2015 che ha fatto sparire l'80% delle enclavi di secondo grado al mondo (e l'unica di terzo, Dahala Khagrabari) il comune possiede 7 delle uniche 8 enclavi di secondo grado al mondo (l'ottava è l'emiratina Nahwa).

L'exclave belga

L'exclave di Baarle-Hertog costituisce il caso più complicato di exclave situata in territorio europeo. Al comune belga di Baarle-Hertog appartengono difatti ben 22 exclave in territorio olandese all'interno del comune di Baarle-Nassau, e alcune di queste exclave contengono ulteriori sette exclave, questa volta olandesi.

Il confine è così articolato che alcune case sono divise tra due stati. In passato, quando la legge olandese prevedeva per i ristoranti un orario di chiusura anteriore a quello belga, alcuni esercizi posti sul confine risolsero il problema semplicemente facendo cambiare tavolo ai clienti.

La storia dell'exclave di Baarle-Hertog risale al Trattato di Maastricht del 1843, che stabilì il Confine tra il Belgio e i Paesi Bassi. In particolare, il confine tra i cippi 214 e 215 non poté essere stabilito per una lunghezza di 50 km, cosicché i due stati giunsero a un accordo per attribuirsi la sovranità su 5.732 parcelle di terreno. Ne risultò un arcipelago di exclavi (circostanza non del tutto infrequente nei confini di allora) per una superficie di 8 km².

Il 20 giugno 1959, la Corte internazionale di giustizia, investita della controversia, stabilì la sovranità del Belgio sul gruppo di enclavi, risolvendo così un contenzioso fra i due Paesi confinanti.

Il 26 aprile 1974 il Belgio e i Paesi Bassi firmarono un trattato a Turnhout nella provincia di Anversa nelle Fiandre in Belgio per rendere ufficiali i confini così delineati tra i cippi 214 e 215. Successivamente venne però scoperto un lotto di terreno a sud della frazione di Ulicoten che non era stato assegnato a nessuno dei due stati, e che nel 1995 fu attribuito al Belgio come ventiduesima exclave di Baarle-Hertog.

Con la pandemia di COVID-19 si è giunti alla situazione paradossale di semi-lockdown dato che Baarle-Hertog è stato in lockdown, mentre Baarle-Nassau no. Alcuni negozi hanno pertanto deciso di propria iniziativa di chiudere comunque.

Q: How to use Ajax to update RenderBody() I am trying to work with ajax in order to update only a partial view and not the whole view. In the following example I want to refresh the page-content section.
this is my layout.html.

    @Html.Partial("_head")

            @if (ViewData["Errors"] != null)
            {

                            Page title

            }

                @RenderBody()

Partial view _head contains the menu with href links for example:
Menu Item 1

In layout I am trying to use the following:

And my HomeController
    public ActionResult PartialViewMethodFromController()
    {

        var model = service.GetAll();
            return PartialView("PartialViewMethodFromController", model);

}

It kinda works - the partialview is refreshing for a moment and the partialview is show correctly and then the whole page goes on and refreshes.
Am I missing something crucial here?

Q: Getting results for only partial inputs for queries using Spring Boot Hibernate Criteria API PostGRES I am having a problem with retrieving results using the full value of strings being passed to a REST endpoint.

Any help you guys could provide would be extremely appreciated!!!! Thanks!!!

A: The problem was in Aw501Service.java
    PageRequest pageRequest = new PageRequest(1,25);

The reason why I was getting results with only partial inputs that matched the predicate wild card in the criteria code but nothing when the input was an exact match;  was that the PageRequest object uses an array internally to store retrieved objects.  If there is only one object returned...as would be expected from an exact match within the context of my application....then accessing that array at index [1] will naturally return "nothing".   I correct the issue via the simple modification to the aforementioned line of code to :
    PageRequest pageRequest = new PageRequest(0,25);


Ian grew up in Connecticut with seventeen entertaining and musical brothers and sisters. Outrageous family dinner time jam sessions, with instruments like "salt shaker" and "nose" gave Ian a love for music and performance. After high school, Ian spent five years in the military. Did a lot of growing up there... Came home, traveled more, fell in love, broke up, rinsed, repeated... broke the chain, got married... Making a family and a music career in his own little American dream..
Ian's music is influenced mostly by singer songwriters. James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Joni Mitchell. Then came these modern day folkies.. The Patti Larkin, Eddie from Ohio, Cheryl Wheeler and the likes... Ian's music is about making your way through life as an American kid, and now an adult who always 'feels' like a kid. Ian is always interested in finding the light. Songs of love, growth, journey, killing, lost innocence, learning... It's all in there..

August is the month to sit and admire your hard work and contemplate next years gardening schemes.
Rambling Roses should be pruned after they have flowered. These Roses produce next years flowers on this year's growth. The side shoots that have flowered should be cut back to one or two buds from the main stem. Any strong new growth can be tied in replacing old woody stems.
Cut back perennials that have collapsed after flowering, you may be lucky and have a second flowering in the autumn. Also this gives the later flowering plants more space to flourish.
Raspberries that have finished fruiting should be pruned now. Cut out the old fruiting canes and tie in the strong new canes that have grown this year, any weak growth should be cut out at this time.
This is a good time to take cuttings of pelargonium, fuchsias, and other tender perennials. Insert the cuttings around the edge of small pots, Hormone powder can be used to help promote rooting. Cuttings root readily at this time and in about a month will be ready to be potted up ready to over winter in the greenhouse.
Warm dry weather can encourage Mildew. This attacks many plants including Dahlias so if you are wondering what that white powdery coating is on the leaves and stems, it is probably Mildew. The solution is to spray the plants with a fungicide such as fungus fighter which is systemic or from the traditional range, yellow sulphur.
Onions should be ready to harvest this month. It's important to let them dry completely before storing. This is best done by leaving them on the surface of the ground during dry weather. If wet its best to lay them out in a shed or garage.
It is important to keep feeding Dahlias during this month with a high Potash fertilizer such as Tomorite. This will encourage flowering and also help with the formation of Tubers. Dahlias also benefit from regular watering during dry spells.

It is estimated that by the year 2020 up to one-half of all American adults will develop type 2 diabetes. This is a staggering number, that may include yourself and your loved ones.
