Christmas time is the best time for any eCommerce site when it comes to boosting their conversion rates as well as sales figures. In fact, for many eCommerce merchants, over 50 percent of their yearly revenues are collected during the festive season and Christmas alone, which is a pretty good reason in itself why you need to revamp your marketing tactics during this period — the goal is simple here, to make the best out of the ever expanding empire of eCommerce.
And when it comes to readjusting your marketing tactics for the Christmas season, there is simply no better way than to renovate your landing pages.
While carrying out landing page optimization for the coming Christmas season, the first thing you are required to do is identify what your primary objectives are. What is that you really want to accomplish? More or less, it will be about visitors coming to your site and responding to calls-to-action by making a purchase etc. However, focus on specifics objectives too, like how much of a traffic boost you want to accomplish during this period (refer to your previous Christmas time performance if required). Be optimistic, but rational while figuring out your objectives.
While formulating your plans and revamping your landing pages for the Christmas season, always make the point of putting yourself in the shoes of the typical online shopper and see things from his perspective. Find out the interests of your target customers and find out what type of offers or discounts will make them particularly happy. After all, without customer satisfaction, you can never succeed in your ultimate goal of turning your landing pages into lead generation pages.
Let's face it — there are dozens, or maybe even hundreds of eCommerce merchants like you all over the world. How can you overcome such cut throat competition? Why should your target customers pick you and not your rivals? Optimize your landing page in a way in which all the benefits of purchasing your products and/or services are clearly defined, and catch the eye of the incoming visitors.


Naked Illuminated Shimmering Powder for Face and Body makes skin twinkle, gleam, and glimmer. While each shade of this pressed powder is infused with shimmer and sparkle, the performance and results vary.
For the Aura and Luminous shades, the finely-milled glitter particles take center stage, while the underlying color and shimmer are very subtle. The sparkle tends to migrate, which isn't a huge deal when used on the body but is annoying on the face because it ends up on areas you don't want. The baked pressed powder texture is slightly stiff, yet still very blendable.
The other shades, Fireball and Lit, are stronger in their shimmering sheen and pigmentation, but aren't as glittery. These shades also have a more buttery-smooth texture and less sparkly fallout.
Because the performance varies by shade, Naked Illuminated Shimmering Powder for Face and Body gets an overall average rating. As a body highlighter (hello, collarbones) this works well, but for the face, we suggest checking out our top-rated highlighters here.
Shimmery, finely-milled glitter finish beautifully sparkles on skin.
If it's glitz that you want, glitz you shall get.
Sparkle particles tends to migrate/fallout, especially for the ultra-glittery shades.
Use this powder to highlight from your cheekbones to your collarbone and beyond. Naked Illuminated gets baked on a terra cotta disc for 24 hours, then finished by hand. Baking the powder gives it a high level of just-perfect sparkle (without an overtly metallic look). It also provides the color payoff of a loose powder, the convenience of a pressed powder, and the feel of silk.

Emil Herbert Loch (* 5. August 1886 in Oberstein; † 28. Oktober 1975 in Landau in der Pfalz) war ein deutscher General der Artillerie im Zweiten Weltkrieg.

Leben

Herbert Loch trat am 1. April 1905 das Fahnenjunker in das 5. Feldartillerie-Regiment "König Alfons XIII. von Spanien" der Bayerischen Armee ein und avancierte nach Absolvierung der Kriegsschule in München Anfang März 1907 zum Leutnant. Zunächst als Oberleutnant und Adjutant der reitenden Abteilung nahm er nach dem Beginn des Ersten Weltkriegs an den Kämpfen an der Westfront teil und stieg Mitte Juni 1916 zum Hauptmann auf. Als solcher führte er die II. und später die reitende Abteilung. Für sein Wirken erhielt Loch den Militärverdienstorden IV. Klasse mit Schwertern und Krone. Daneben wurden ihm beide Klassen des Eisernen Kreuzes und des Friedrich-August-Kreuzes sowie das Österreichische Militärverdienstkreuz III. Klasse mit Kriegsdekoration verliehen.

Nach Kriegsende und der Demobilisierung bildete sich aus Teilen seines Stammregiments Anfang 1919 die nach ihm benannte Freiwilligen-Batterie Loch, die bei der Artillerieabteilung des Freikorps "Bamberg" im Grenzschutz zum Einsatz kam. Außerdem war die Batterie am Schutz der gesetzlichen Regierung und der Befreiung Münchens beteiligt. Nach der Bildung der Vorläufigen Reichswehr gingen diese Einheit in der 4. Batterie des Reichswehr-Artillerie-Regiments 23 auf. Loch wurde in die Reichswehr übernommen und war zunächst Adjutant der Reichswehr-Brigade 23.

Von Oktober 1934 an war er in der Wehrmacht für zwei Jahre Kommandeur des Artillerie-Regiments 7 bei der neu aufgestellten 7. Infanterie-Division und anschließend für ein Jahr in der gleichen Position beim neu aufgestellten Artillerie-Regiment 33 bei der 33. Infanterie-Division. Er war bis zur Übernahme des Divisionskommandos 1939 Arko 32, welcher mit der Mobilmachung Anfang 1939 aufgelöst wurde.

Als Kommandeur und Generalmajor führte er die neu aufgestellte 17. Infanterie-Division von April 1939 über den Beginn des Zweiten Weltkriegs bis Ende Oktober 1941 beim Überfall auf Polen und nach seiner Anfang März 1940 erfolgten Beförderung zum Generalleutnant im Westfeldzug. In dieser Eigenschaft erhielt Loch am 16. Juni 1940 das Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes

Anfang Juni 1941 kam beim Unternehmen Barbarossa mit der 4. Armee der Vormarsch der Division in den Osten, Ende Juni/Anfang Juli 1941 die Kesselschlacht bei Białystok und Minsk und anschließend bis September 1941 die Kesselschlacht bei Smolensk. Den Beginn der Schlacht um Moskau Anfang Oktober 1941 erlebte er noch als Kommandeur der Division, jetzt bei der 2. Armee stehend, mit.

Anschließend übernahm Loch nach seiner Beförderung zum General der Artillerie, der am 22. April 1942 das Deutsche Kreuz in Gold erhalten hatte, bis Ende März 1944 als Kommandierender General das XXVIII. Armeekorps. Ende Mai bis Ende Juni 1943 war Generalleutnant Otto Sponheimer Vertreter von Loch. Das XXVIII. Armeekorps firmierte von Ende Oktober 1943 bis Anfang Dezember 1943 als Armeegruppe Loch, wurde aber dann wieder in die ursprüngliche Armeegruppe zurück benannt. Stabschef der Armeegruppe war Oberst Eugen Theilacker und Ia war der spätere Bundeswehrgeneral Gerd Kobe.

Von Ende März 1944 bis Anfang September 1944 wurde er als Nachfolger von Generaloberst Georg Lindemann mit der Führung der 18. Armee betraut, welche u. a. im Juli 1944 in der Pskow-Ostrower Operation eingebunden war. Anschließend wurde er bis Kriegsende noch Befehlshaber des Höheren Kommandos "Eifel".

Loch befand sich vom 16. April 1945 bis zu seiner Entlassung am 23. März 1948 in US-amerikanischer Kriegsgefangenschaft.

Gegen Loch wurde 1971 von der Staatsanwaltschaft Stuttgart wegen Anstiftung zum Mord ermittelt. Tatbestand war die Erschießung polnischer Zivilisten durch deutsche Soldaten deren Kommandeur General Loch war.

Sonstiges
Herbert Loch sah im Sport einen wichtigen Wert für die Soldaten. So ließ er seine Soldaten gegeneinander im Fußball antreten. U. a. im Sommer 1940 gab es in Gent ein Spiel der Burgsterner, Angehörige der Nachrichten-Abteilung 17 der Division, gegen das Infanterie-Regiment 21 der Division. Die Wehrmachtmannschaft MSV Burgstern Noris wurde im Oktober 1940 das erste Mal erwähnt. In der Mannschaft spielten u. a. Eduard Schaffer, Hans Uebelein und dessen Bruder Julius Uebelein.

GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands, Saturday August 26, 2017 – Howard Hospitality Group (HHG), an international hotel investor, developer and operator, has revealed the latest details surrounding a development planned for the former Pageant Beach site in Grand Cayman.
The company recently submitted plans for a US$285 million new-build property, which will feature a 456-room resort and condominiums. Designed to showcase the site's pristine beachfront location, with close attention to environment sustainability and preserving the area's beauty, the property was planned with the advance blessing of the Department of Environment.
The resort will feature a dynamic look fusing modern design with authentic, local flavour. Upon completion, the resort will boast a sleek, vibrant layout with seven food and beverage outlets – one of which will be a rooftop bar and grill-, a rooftop spa, a movie screening room, a rooftop infinity pool and three additional pools.
The property will also have six waterfront villas, as well as condominiums, which will be available for purchase.
The resort brand is yet unnamed, but HHG announced that it will feature a five-star major global brand that will be operated by the Howard Hospitality Group under a licensing agreement. HHG plans to begin construction in the first quarter of 2018, with an opening tentatively slated for 2020.


Those of us who have been developing software for more years than we might care to admit, are sometimes inclined to fret about the skills that junion programmers lack -- particularly those fresh out of university or college. And as is typical with software developers, if you have N of them in the room, you'll have at least N+1 opinions about just what skills are most important and the least well prepared for by our educational institutions. Naturally I have my own opinions and I'd like to argue about why they're important not just for a computer science education, but any type of education. This dovetails with the current trend to assert that computation thinking should become part of our core cuuriculums in both K-12 and post-secondary education.
It occurred to me today that these issues aren't really confined to software development at all. The notion of abstraction, that is the ability to construct a mental model of something, and the capability to explore the ramifications of that model, is really what thinking is all about. Or perhaps to be slightly less grandiose, its what strategic thinking is all about. As in software development, people are often quite good at tactical thinking, that is reasoning about some specific instance of a problem, but often cannot draw out of set of problems the common elements that would allow them to forge a general solution to a class of problems, or perhaps worse form false generalizations from anecdotal evidence.
I think that there is an argument to be made that the tools, techniques, and terminology that we software developers have created to help us reason about abstraction and encapsulation, could in fact be the basis for a way to teach people how to think strategically, not just about software, but about anything. As I noted above, there is some effort underway to convince the education establishment that the world has changed, and computational thinking is something that eveyone needs. But perhaps the situation is really that we need to convince the educational establishment that we have way to teach people how to think, not just about information systems, but about anything.

Iran closer to a deal over Tehran's nuclear programme
Iran and six world powers are closer to a deal that would end the long stand-off over Tehran's nuclear programme, Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Thursday in Vienna.
"We are starting to move forward," Zarif said after the latest round of talks in the Austrian capital.
There was no statement to summarize progress from Catherine Ashton, the chief negotiator for the sextet consisting of Britain, China, France, Russia, the United States and Germany.
No date and venue for new talks were announced.
Together with US Secretary of State John Kerry, Zarif and Ashton spent seven hours on Wednesday trying to iron out the issues hindering a deal to curb Iran's nuclear programme and limit its ability to build a nuclear weapon.
The six nations are offering to lift sanctions on Iran in return.
A senior US official said Wednesday that both sides have been moving towards an agreement in small steps but pointed to the size of Iran's uranium enrichment programme and uranium stocks as the biggest stumbling blocks.
Under the agreement, due to be sealed by November 24, the sextet wants to prevent Iran from making nuclear weapons material at the country's uranium enrichment plants and a plutonium-producing reactor in Arak.
Tehran's leaders stress that they need uranium to fuel power reactors and that the Arak reactor serves only scientific and medical purposes.

The Ghana news Agency (GNA) was established on March 5, 1957, i.e. on the eve of Ghana's independence and charged with the "dissemination of truthful unbiased news". It was the first news agency to be established in Sub-Saharan Africa. GNA was part of a comprehensive communication policy that sought to harness the information arm of the state to build a viable, united and cohesive nation-state. GNA has therefore been operating in the unique role of mobilizing the citizens for nation building, economic and social development, national unity and integration.

Star 88.3, Huntington University form alliance
FOR RELEASE: Thursday, June 4, 2009
Huntington, Ind.-
Award-winning Christian radio station Star 88.3 WLAB-FM and Huntington University have formed a strategic alliance.
Melissa Montana will interview Dr. G. Blair Dowden, president of Huntington University, at 12:20 p.m. today on Star 88.3's "Conversations." Dowden and Montana will outline the details of the alliance on that program.
The university will extend financial support to the newly-established Star Educational Media Network in the form of a loan, a cash investment structured as a loan, and a possible bank loan guarantee. In return, the university will receive a significant stake in the new non-profit enterprise, several positions on its board of directors, on-air and off-air promotion, and expanded educational opportunities for students.
Star Educational Media Network, a non-profit organization, was formed by the management of Star 88.3 to purchase the radio station from the Indiana District of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (IN-LCMS). In April, IN-LCMS announced that Star 88.3 was for sale. On May 15, IN-LCMS accepted the bid from Star Educational Media Network.
"We are very excited about our new strategic alliance with Star 88.3," Dowden said. "God's providence was very evident throughout this process. While there are many details to be worked out, I firmly believe that God has guided and directed throughout this process and will continue to do so."
Dowden added that benefits for Huntington University include the following:
Key synergies will be created between HU's broadcasting program and the radio ministry of Star 88.3, creating
experiential learning opportunities for HU student interns.
Star 88.3 is involved in many kinds of community outreach. This new relationship will provide numerous opportunities for collaborative volunteer service in the greater Fort Wayne area.
HU's campus radio station (The FUSE 105.5 FM) will benefit from the
Christian broadcasting expertise of Star 88.3 staff and national consultants.
Star 88.3 receives many benefits from record labels and recording artists nationwide. These relationships will create opportunities for on-campus and
off-campus performances.
Star 88.3 WLAB-FM is a Christian media powerhouse with an audience of nearly 70,000 weekly listeners. The station was honored as the Gospel Music Association's 2009 Radio Station of the Year at the Dove Awards ceremony this spring. Its general manager, Melissa Montana, also received the Rob Gregory Award for community impact and is a top-rated local radio personality in the Fort Wayne market. Star 88.3 is well-known throughout northeast Indiana for its family-friendly, "uplifting and encouraging" contemporary Christian music format.
"The staff of Star Educational Media Network feels very blessed to be working in partnership with Huntington University," said Montana, president of Star Educational Media Network. "We believe the relationship to be nothing short of God's direct hand guiding the two organizations to accomplish a greater mission by way of a combined vision and resources. The alliance with Huntington University will benefit our organization in a multitude of ways beyond the financial support. We could imagine no better organization to be allied with."
Montana outlined specific opportunities for Huntington's University support to include
Solid board vision and representation by key HU representatives
Opportunity to mentor students and recruit future employees
Providing a quality venue and support for outreach opportunities to include concerts
Aligning Star 88.3 with the name, values and credibility of such an effective Christian institution as HU
Growing Star 88.3's outreach and listening audience in our community and beyond.

Road to Restoration


As of 2 July 2018, the ILC's Allied Health Service funded by the WA HACC (Home and Community Care) Program will transition across to the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) for people aged 65 and over and 50 years and over for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
The Commonwealth Home Support Programme provides entry-level support at home and in the community. The ILC Allied Health Service will continue to operate as it does currently during this transition.
Funded by the Australian Government, the Commonwealth Home Support Programme provides a range of entry-level aged care services for frail older people who need assistance to keep living independently at home and in their community.
If you are generally able to manage but just need some help with daily tasks to continue living at home, Commonwealth Home Support Programme services may be right for you. These services might also be suitable if you have had a setback and need support for just a short period of time to help you get back on your feet. The Commonwealth Home Support Programme funds a large variety of organisations (called service providers) across Australia to deliver the support and services to you.
The aim of the program is to help older people live as independently as possible — with a focus on working with you, rather than doing for you, building on your strengths and abilities to help you remain living independently and safely at home and increase your overall wellbeing.
Why are WA HACC services transitioning to the CHSP?
On 31 January 2017, the Commonwealth Government and WA Government agreed to transition responsibility for WA HACC services for those aged 65 years over, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 50 years and over, to the Commonwealth.
The transition of these services is consistent with the arrangements that have been implemented throughout all other territories and states as part of the Commonwealth's national aged care reform agenda. These changes mean that the services and support provided to people as they grow older is consistent nationally no matter where they live in Australia.
When will HACC transition to CHSP?
WA HACC services for older people will transition to the CHSP from 1 July 2018.
Can I remain with my existing service provider under CHSP?
Yes, you can. If your service provider is an existing HACC/CHSP provider and the service types remain suitable for you then your support services can remain under the CHSP.
Are there any changes I need to be aware of?
There are no significant changes to the support the Independent Living Centre WA (ILC) offers through our Allied Health Service and existing clients will continue to receive support as they currently do. The service will continue to assist people aged 65 years and over, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 50 years and over. The client contribution to the cost of the Allied Health Service at the ILC for CHSP clients will also remain the same.
How do I access the Commonwealth Home Support program?
My Aged Care has a website (www.myagedcare.gov.au) and contact centre to give you information about aged care and to help you access the services that are right for you. My Aged Care staff will ask you questions about your current needs and circumstances so they can determine your eligibility for assessment and refer you to appropriate aged care assessment services.
You can phone the My Aged Care contact centre on 1800 200 422 between 8am and 8pm Monday to Friday and 10am to 2pm on Saturdays (your local time, no matter where in Australia you live).
If you would like further information on the HACC Allied Health service and how our therapists may be able to assist your day to day living please visit the ILC website or call (08) 9381 0677.

Hello and welcome to THE COSMICK VIEW - where the stars always shine bright!
COSMICK VIEW: Hello Chris! Welcome to the Cosmick View. Thank you for taking some time out of your day to chat with me, it is greatly appreciated.
CV: Having seen you perform multiple times, it is apparent that the live arena is one you are very comfortable in. What do you find so appealing about being on stage?
Chris James: The live show is everything you practice and write and record for. It's where you get to play out your dream and get your message across. You get to show your artwork off on public display. It's why we all do it.
CV: Give us a little background on how you came to be a lead singer. What drove you to pursue music?
CJ: Ha lead singer, I'm a guitarist first n foremost. I've practiced since I was about 15. Dave Murray n Adrian Smith is why I picked it up. Singing came very, very late... We were trying to find a singer in a band in New York n everyone just didn't have this or that. I'm telling them you need to do this like that guy does or act or look this way, my old bassist Scott Gunther forced me into this, he said you remind me of Dee Snider you have the charisma n attitude you just need to develop the singing. Ya, that's all right LOL, so I went n took some lessons from a woman in the Tri- Cities Opera to even see if I could do this? She worked with me and I had to go back after a bit because I was blowing my voice out every night. I needed to learn proper techniques. She gave me all the tools n off I went. I'm Still learning n still developing it. Every album I change, you can hear it.
CV: Besides singing, do you play any instruments?
CJ: Yes, guitar and bass, guitar, I said before where I started but it really got going when I was introduced into thrash in the 80s... Eric Peterson from Testament is my biggest influence! Bass I played in church for a worship team. It was fun… I'd put the rock edge on everything.
CV: What inspires you to write?
CJ: It's just part of me. It's not forced ever. I hear a song n then I hear a riff or a melody, it could come from any style of music. Lyrically, I'm very spiritually driven. God, Hope, Victory... giving people a way out of depression n suicide, bad times, struggles of life. There's so much negativity in this world… I choose to be the light!
CV: Again, having seen you in action, you are definitely involved in all aspects of what your band is doing; from booking shows and writing songs, to setting up lighting and props and even tweaking guitar and bass amplifier settings on stage before going on. Some could see this as an extreme case of micro-management... but do you see this more as a laser sharp attention to detail of your vision?
CJ: Just because I sing doesn't mean I walk in with a mic and some crap ego... We are a team, we are like family. I'm driven to give people a show, and I have a good know how on all the parts. We use banners and stage props and all need to be set up. My guys stuff goes down I'm there to help get it rolling again. Another reason I don't play guitar live. I'm busy with a lot of it. Cj had to fly out to a show once when we started a west coast tour. Plane was late. I had his kit set up n ready to roll. He just needed to sit n play. We all run this little circus. Each of us have strengths n that's where they are used!
CV: Threatpoint had a line-up change earlier this year with the return of the band's original bassist, Samuel Young, coming back into the fold following the departure of Matthew Van Fleet. How are things working out?
CJ: Getting Sam back was amazing. He started this band with us. He wrote the first album n recorded it with us. This was always his baby too... Matt left for a career change, we wish him well. But Sam has been killing it on stage and just finished recording all the bass tracks for the new album coming out soon. He's a great singer too, so now we extended our vocal parts with him and Alex. Sam filled in through the years when the other guys couldn't do a show or run...It's absolutely exciting to have him back!
CV: You have toured throughout the United States multiple times over the years... what do you see as a common thread among the Nation's Metal scene and Metalheads themselves?
CJ: Metal heads are dedicated. They are themselves. They don't hide behind phony fads and silly ways of life. Metal is and always will be a way of life. The scene is up n down. Good shows n bad shows. Turnouts that is. Downloading, internet, cellphones, YouTube etc... I believe ruined what we had back in the day… packed shows any night of the week. Now people sit home n watch on a screen, sad because you don't get that feeling of being there… that rush!
CV: To date, what's one memory from the road that sticks with you?
CJ: Several times people have told us that our music has helped them through tough times. Through depression… one girl told us she was going to commit suicide n heard our song "Never Say Die" and it changed her life and saved her. Those moments are the ones that matter, those are the reason I want to press on and give more. Changing one life at a time.
CV: A new Threatpoint album is on the horizon, releasing September 22nd. Can you tell us a little about what can fans expect?
CJ: Hopefully finished by Sept 22... but not long after, we are in final mixes and off to mastering in California. Artwork is being handled by Elizabeth. She works at the company whom does our merch.
This album is faster, thrashier, more energetic and alive feeling than any of our past albums. We are changing. We are growing… I won't stand in the fence no more. It's positive and enlightening filled with hope and positive energy… very spiritually driven. Also more clean vocals n harmonies on it. Cool old-school gang vocals on it too!
CV: Do you enjoy recording and working in a studio or prefer playing live?
CJ: Studio is fun and challenging. It makes you do things perfectly, over n over n over again till it's right. But that's when you get to see all your hard work come together. Seeing and hearing it done professionally the feeling is awesome. Live is a different animal all together. You have great nights n sometimes bumps n bruises, when things go wrong or you make mistakes. But that's live music. We practice hard to be tight n roll like a machine. Live you get to let loose the energy you have built up ...that is different than the studio.
CV: What's the feeling for you when new material, like "Iron Sharpens Iron," is added to the set list? Is there a concern about how the crowd will react?
CJ: We write for the live show. No gimmicks or back tracks. We are very old school. I started going to a lot of old school thrash band shows again like when I was young. It brought back that energy that was missing. It changed our writing a lot. A lot of our older stuff had a mid tempo feel. I wanted that energy I saw from flotsam n jetsam and overkill, armored saint and metal church. I just saw them all more recently. People love to move at live shows. Sometimes you're crushing n then you play a slower song n the energy evaporated and it's nearly impossible to retrieve it back. So we wrote faster more energetic songs. Still groove and melodic!
CV: What do you believe are the top three things bands must do in order to get noticed by music fans and rise above an already over-saturated market?
CJ: I don't even know myself? We keep pushing n pushing. Playing out. Trying to get on bigger shows to more people. We try to meet people on a personal level before or after shows. Developing solid conversations helps people to really take you more serious.
CV: There are so many opinions and strategies on what bands should and shouldn't be doing when working to build a fan base. Does giving away your music for free help or hinder album sales?
CJ: Today they steal it anyway. The real people still buy CDs and purchase off iTunes or CD baby or Amazon. It's tough I don't think they understand how bad it hurts bands. Fuel is high, recording is expensive, merch isn't cheap. Videos aren't cheap. So sales help us pay for fuel to get to the next show or maintenance on our bus. It helps us pay for recording n merch. We all work full time jobs to pay our house bills and take care of our family. So taking out of that hurts or sometimes stops us from going further or to the next show.
CV: Are you a digital downloader or a CD buyer?
CJ: I myself buy off iTunes. Every Friday I listen to all the new releases n see if anything cool came out. I find new bands all the time. Special CDs I will buy but I hate CDs, they scratch n I always hated dragging tons of them around. iPod has everything. I go truck to car to house... I love Bluetooth.
CV: Do you feel bands can make it on their own without a label or management support?
CJ: No! Not for us 6… years touring and pushing. We are still looking for help. Real help. I'm tired of phony people that say this or that. Reposting a Facebook post is cool but it's not enough. Real management hits the pavement and gets on the phone or emails. We have no label, but still looking and hoping. No management to help us. We do it all ourselves. It's exhausting and your very limited. It's all who you know. Do Not BS yourselves!
CV: In recent years with the explosion of social media platforms ruling the internet, do you see them more now as a positive or negative for a band's image?
CV: Who's an artist or band you would like to work with and why?
CJ: Anyone genuine that is willing to help us grow. We can hold our own next to any band out there all in confidence... just give us the big stage.
CV: Biggest influence on you as an artist?
CJ: Testament, Overkill, Stryper, Flotsam and Jetsam, Armored Saint, Demon Hunter.
CV: Biggest influence on you as a person?
CJ: God, My mother, My Wife Lori...!
CJ: Finish new album, new merch designs, Threat-Fest 2018 Sept 22, Keep trying to find a label and some management that believes in us. Keep playing new venues and meeting lots and lots of new people, people matter otherwise we are nothing!
CV: Thank you again Chris for spending some time talking and sharing with our readers. I wish you all the best and much success with the new album.

Schwinn 250 Recumbent Exercise Bike Review: Is It Worth The Price?
In case you're familiar with the quality Schwinn exercise equipment is characterized by, you'd be right in your assumptions that the Schwinn 250 recumbent bike provides a lot of value for its price.
Indeed, the Schwinn line is basically in competition with itself because it exceeds other recumbent bikes in terms of features and technological advances, and because of this, we took the time to review not just this model, but also the 270, 230, 220 and A20.
Like all other Schwinn products, this bike's build is awesomely good, as well as its quality and durability, which has over the years made Schwinn one of the market leaders in the health and fitness industry.
As one of the few award winning bikes, the Schwinn 250 is an excellent choice for those looking for a low impact type of workout, and it's particularly great for people trying to recover from injuries as well as pregnant moms trying to achieve a good heart rate.
Now the fact that this bike lets you customize your workout programs as per your endurance level makes it an appealing choice for many, and is surely going to motivate you to exercise. Price wise, Schwinn 250 is a mid-range piece of exercise equipment that ensures that you get all those features you desire in your perfect workout bike without costing you a fortune!
This bike comes with a sculptured seat base and a comfy back rest that completely takes all the back pressure, effectively reduces joint swellings and while at the same time allowing the user to achieve great results. It has an extra-wide ergonomic seat that you can adjust to your preference, as there's a range of options. The seat pad is made out of firm, rubbery material that is characterized by durability and comfort.
The bike also features a console that can be adjusted on the fore, aft and angle position to accommodate a wide range of users, and also comes with integrated bottle holder, utility tray, and a blower fan to keep you cool while exercising. This model also boast of an oversized pedal design to accommodate and secure different shoe sizes.
Schwinn 250 is delivered in a nice package, with all its parts well protected and labeled. The assembly process is not complicated though it can be time consuming for inexperienced users. Personally, I had no problems putting this bike together and was able to do it in just 20 minutes. However, if you experience any problem, you will find the included instruction manual quite helpful, as it even comes with pictures to make things easier. If you have never assembled a bike like this before, be sure to spend slightly over an hour with the set up to check that everything is in place. Here Schwinn does a great job of ensuring that each and every tool is available in the package during delivery, which is nice. Lastly, consider that this bike is quite heavy and you might need some help when moving it to your house.
With this bike not only will you be able to completely customize your workout through its profile editor, but also, thanks to its Schwinn Advantage feature, you can keep track of your workout as to stay motivated and increase your endurance. Using the monitor, you'll also be able to change the resistance levels and track your heart rate constantly.
In comparison to the conventional friction type resistance system, the magnetic resistance system on the 250 is far more advanced as well as completely silent, hence perfect for those that prefer listening to music or watching something while working out. and comes with rugged construction and flywheel. You'll find the magnetic resistance to be extremely smooth, even during those lengthy, exhaustive workouts.
When you compare it to other models it's exceptionally quiet thanks to its magnetic resistance, which makes great for people who prefer to indulge in multiple activities at once. Indeed, you'll be able to get a full body workout as you're watching TV, reading or listening to music.
You'll probably consider the 2 polar Heart rate control programs it comes with as one of the best features on the bike. These programs simply let you set an approximate target heart rate, and as soon as you do that it automatically adjusts the resistance levels to match your designated heart rate, which is so great that you'll find yourself using it all the time!. Now this great feature tends to be reserved/available on the most expensive recumbent bikes out there – commercial ones costing thousands of dollars, so the fact that its included on this model definitely makes it a great value for the money.
This is a very sturdy piece of equipment that is designed to be easy to use while delivering at the same time for a good workout. Even though it has additional programs and features compared to other models, nothing will give you a headache while trying to understand how this bike works. The display is easy to use as well as clear and readable. It tracks your performance for the long term and there are two profiles to work with.
This bike's bigger console is surely a great addition as it provides a great place to rest your kindle/ ipad or reading materials. I also like that this recumbent bike has an extended pause. When using it, one can easily get off and take a little break and then just restart it from the place you left off. And the good thing is that it will only log in your time if you are actually moving the pedals.
Some users have expressed some little disappointment on how the list of features on the manual translates to actual features on the bike. For example, the bike's 2 polar heart rate programs do not mean there are 2 separate heart rate controlled programs. The online manual has just one program with 2 levels. So, in short, most users don't take the argument that a level equals a program! The bike is also very quiet but when you are changing the resistance levels, you will a click sound but this most likely has to do with the motor sound which is quite normal. Finally, having an adjustable display is quite good but tilting it all the way forward gets into the way of your handle bars which are upfront. But all in all, none of these little drawbacks can take away from the topnotch quality of this bike!
Despite having some few issues here and there, I would still recommend this recumbent exercise bike to anyone who wants reasonably priced and well performing equipment. You surely can never go wrong by investing in this bike. It will provide you with the kind of workout you're looking for, and additionally, you can easily program it as per your needs. The bike doesn't make even the slightest noise and runs smoothly. The seat is incredibly comfortable and I also love the fact that this bike allows you to track your workouts. Schwinn 250 has a reasonably wide range of controls and programs that are easily operated. The bike has a myriad of options for different workouts and you will never get bored with the same old. In overall, this is a great investment worthy consideration and can certainly help you reach your fitness goals.

Nicolas Roeg: Don't Look Now
Nicolas Roeg's Don't Look Now (1973) is one of those rare films that is at once accessible — the narrative is relatively simple, easy to follow, and generally appealing — and eternally mysterious, filled with shadows and jagged edges, thanks in large part to the brilliant work of Roeg and his team, including cinematographer Anthony Richards and editor Graeme Clifford, who didn't settle for conventional cinematic techniques to make this horror film. Today, after years of hopeful speculation, The Criterion Collection is releasing the film on both Blu-ray and DVD in the United States.
The film opens with a tragedy. Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie play John and Laura Baxter, a happily married couple working at home in England one Sunday. Their two children are playing outside, and the youngest, their daughter Christine (Sharon Williams), gets closer and closer to the water. John somehow senses something amiss and jumps up to run outside. Eliding the terrible moment, it's one of the most traumatic openings I can remember watching, made infinitely worse this time around since I now have young children of my own.
What follows is a film about grief: the couple is still loving, working through their loss together, naturally and authentically; it's not a film about how grief makes us do terrible things or how mourning destroys those left behind. On the contrary, it's a film about searching for consolation, answers, meaning, though confusion creeps in from around hidden corners.
And it's a horror film. Obviously, it's horrifying to lose a child, but I mean this film is a horror film in the conventional sense: I've seen many cite Don't Look Now as the scariest film they've ever seen.
That said, the horror itself is not conventional, which is one main reason the horror is so tactile and invasive. From the first seemingly innocuous moments, the sense of foreboding creeps up on us through the recurring use of red, particularly the red coat Christine was wearing, and the strange, disorienting editing that suggests patterns where they shouldn't be and breeches of time and space. An example of such a breech comes, unnoticed, in the first scene. We are in the English countryside, and we hear church bells. This is not such a strange thing until later in the film we hear those same bells in Venice. This dislocation is further emphasized when we note that the strange windows we saw in that countryside home are the same we see later in Venice. The film's concept is reliant on foresight, but this technique also serves to collapse time and space to some ever-present here and now, a sense of being that is both emphasized and subverted by death.
After Christine's death, the Baxter's put their son in an English boarding school and move to Venice, with its watery roads and labyrinthine alleyways, where John has been given the job of overseeing the restoration of a crumbling church, a nice metaphor for the Baxter's attempt to move on from Christine's drowning and rebuild, find some purpose again. Laura, however, is escorted even further into the realm of the spiritual — or spiritualism — when she meets two old sisters. One of the sisters is blind but claims to have the gift of seeing beyond this space and time. She has seen Christine, she delightedly tells Laura. Christine was with John and Laura, sitting between them at the restaurant. Laura chooses to give this some credence. John, on the other hand, is adamant that their daughter is dead and isn't visiting them through some strange medium.
Notably, though they disagree, John and Laura maintain respect for each other's beliefs. John stands aside when Laura wants to go visit the sister's hotel room to chat a bit more. The blind sister tells Laura that Christine is trying to warn them of some danger. At about this same time, John himself starts to see a small figure running around Venice in a bright red coat.
The story continues to build nicely, adding mystery upon mystery. When Laura goes back to England to check on their son, John is shocked to see her still wandering the streets of Venice with the weird sisters. He worries about what might be going on in their relationship, which seemed fine, but perhaps worse is that we have a serial killer on the loose in Venice, dumping bodies into the canals and he doesn't want Laura to become a victim.
It's a compelling story that never forgets it was initiated in grief. But it's the little touches that keep all of the elements on track and that refract the image just enough to suggest multiple perspectives on grief and terror. At the same time, the editing style can make time and space feel expansive and ever present, and then later, particularly when John is caught up in the labyrinth, chasing the red coat, the technique can make time and space, as we typically experience it, claustrophobic and strangely elusive. Contradictions against contradictions, and it all works together nicely to explore the terrible effects death has on life.
Supplements:
First, we have Don't Look Now: Looking Back, a 19-minute making-of documentary produced in 2002, featuring interviews with Nicolar Roeg, cinematographer Anthony Richmond, and editor Graeme Clifford. These fellows discuss how the film came about and how they shot certain scenes.
Next we have Death in Venice, an 17-minute 2006 interview with composer Pino Donaggio, who wrote the music for Don't Look Now. Donaggio is an esteemed composer who had a successful stint with Brian de Palma, scoring Carrie, Dressed to Kill, and Blow Out, among others. Though I'm not a fan of the soundtrack (or, really, of much of Donaggio's work), I found this interview insightful, and I loved hearing how he used the same elements in so many different ways throughout the film.
We hear from Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland themselves in the next feature, the 30-minute Something Interesting. The actors, along with others in the crew, discuss what it was like making the film and working with Roeg.
One of my favorite features was the 14-minute Nicolas Roeg: The Enigma of Film, which features nice appreciations and analyses from Steven Soderbergh and Danny Boyle.
Graeme Clifford and Bobbie O'Steen, a 43-minute conversation from 2014 between film historian Bobbie O'Steen and Graeme Clifford, talking in-depth about the editing techniques employed and their purposes. For me, this was the most interesting feature for its in-depth look at one of the most unique aspects of the film.
Last on the disc, other than the trailer, is Nicolas Roeg at Cine Lumiere, a 47-minute Q&A with Roeg that followed a screening of Don't Look Now in London in 2003.
There is a fold-out insert featuring an essay by film critic David Thompson that looks at the film generally, but it is relatively short and, in the end, didn't feel like it added anything that we don't get in the rest of the package, though Thompson has a wonderful facility for writing about film (even if I rarely like his work).
The supplements are sadly missing a commentary, but I do feel that we get a nice package, particularly in the last three features that felt particularly insightful.
But, regardless of the supplements, this is a wonderful film and very welcome and nicely presented on Blu-ray.

Great stuff, Trevor. I always think of that awful little few second cut, of the two sisters laughing. Horrified me when I first saw it; and a lightbulb went off. It felt like a very literary moment somehow, an act of directorial bravado and cruelty.
Trevor Berrett February 10, 2015 at 6:12 pm
Oh I totally agree with you about that clip, Lee. Suggests there's something off with the two sisters, and then the film never fully explains — which is perfect! It is unsettling things like that that make the film impenetrable and yet entice you to keep looking!
Do you feel that clip comes back at the end, when the red coat turns around?
Yes. It's the terror of not being privy to your own fate. Those sisters are! That scene at the end, you immediately (or I did) flash back to that scene, how everything was set in motion, how they were outside the conspiring of their doom, how it's all a terrible joke with a nightmare punchline.
winstonsdad February 10, 2015 at 8:12 pm
The sight of the coat as a motif is what I remember from this and think it has been used in a Simpson episode and x files since .I always preferred performance to this myself of his films great review I must find my dvd of it and watch it again been a while

Foreign edition book covers
Book cover trends are often different around the world. Sometimes foreign covers are close to American covers, or are the same. Other times, they're quite a bit different.
Some of these Taiwanese covers of American books seem virtually identical. Others have slight differences.
Genre book covers have different trends in general, though. Check out these Chinese historical romance covers.
Other titles have been changed to have rather different covers.
And if you drop by the foreign language section, you can find treasures such as The Little Prince written in Chinese, English, and French (in one book) for language learners. That one is pretty cool, if you ask me.
Have you seen the foreign covers of any books you own? How are they different from the version you have?
It's a pretty good reminder, to an author, that when preparing a book for a foreign market, it'll take some research to find the right cover. It's also a reminder that you need to check the nationality of your sources for cover design when you're making your own covers: Is this advice for my market?
Make time for adventure
You know what movies never really quite give you? The real thing. Every writer can tell you that research sometimes can only happen through experience. Things like experiencing traversing a secluded* river in wild countryside can only be truly understood by trying it (*secluded besides the pair of trekkers who caught up and passed us during lunch, or the group that goes every weekend--hey, it was a weekday). Overcoming the danger of a raging river (okay... fairly calm mountain spring) and clambering over unmarked trails (please ignore the experienced guide) while fighting off wild mountain animals (wetsuits are great for not getting leeches) is a powerful experience, and if I ever use it in book, I know I can now describe the experience well. (What? No, of course writers never use "research" as an excuse for a fun adventure).
Glamorous and beautiful
river-trekking photos.
I love books, but no book has ever given me the sound of water pouring rocks, the icy grip of mountain river, the sound of crickets and cicadas and frogs singing around you and birds above. Nothing ever matches the real experience.
It's easy to forget to make time for things outside the normal routine, and yet it's important to do so. A future father-in-law with a taste for extreme sports helps, but you don't have to try anything extreme to enjoy the world. A walk through a beautiful garden, a flower photo shoot, the game Ingress, a hike at a popular hiking trail... anything that gets you outside and into the world.
I joke that adventures are great for research, but the truth is, they're good for the soul and body, too (as long as you're careful and use proper safety equipment). Creativity involves combining real-life experiences with imagination, and the more things you do, the more you get out, the deeper your pool of experience to draw on. And sitting around writing all day... well, it's no secret sitting all day isn't great for you.
And it's fun. That's pretty important, too, because mental health is part of your whole health. The more good times you make time for, the more good memories you have to buoy yourself through the rough patches. Because everyone has times when life just sucks. Make sure you remember to make time for more good moments than bad ones.
River trekking goes on the list of "good" moments for me. What are some of your best adventures?
There's always a reason people read "bad" books
I hear a lot of new authors making scathing commentary on poorly-edited books that have made best-selling lists.
Oddly, while many multi-published authors wince at the names of those books, and might mutter about them to certain groups, or even make jokes about them, few spend a lot of time regaling us with the many flaws of these books. Maybe it's because they're being professional. Maybe it's because they know we've all heard it before.
Or maybe it's because they know that for a book to be wildly successful, it has to have virtues. And whatever those virtues are, they sell well.
There are published books I highly dislike. Books I can't even finish reading.
But I've read a lot of fanfiction in my time, and that's... uh... let's just say quality varies far more than what's on the commercial market. Some was of exception quality and would have made epic storytelling by any judgement. Some was written by talented teens, with lots of promise, and a polish away from professional. Others, well, fanfiction is a great way to get practice writing, and to learn the basics.
I mention fanfiction because of what it taught me: At the end of the day, you don't know what will be popular, but everything that becomes popular, becomes so for a reason. Sometimes the grammar is terrible, but the story's so good I kept reading anyway. Other times, the characters were stereotypical to the point of accidental hilarity, yet the plot was intriguing enough I still wanted to know what would happen.
If you learn the reason is someone keeps reading despite an obvious flaw, you can improve your own writing immensely. So pick up books with obvious flaws and read them. You don't have to like them; you just need to learn what others see in them.
Even a bad photo can have eye-catching features.
The reason people read isn't because they like badness. That's called heckling, not reading. No, people read because something in the story appeals to them. Maybe it's the compelling storyline. Maybe the author has an ability to create emotional connections to characters so compelling it's hard to put the book down, or a love story that intrigues and enraptures to the point that storytelling flaws become unimportant.
Or maybe it's the feeling of power the book gives them. Maybe it's the feeling of vicarious adventure. Maybe it's because the book frees them to acknowledge a side of themselves that everyone tells them to ignore.
Figure out what it is that a "bad" book (otherwise known as a book you dislike) does right, and you'll find a way to make your own writing better.
Tea review: Grape Wulong Tea
Grape Wulong Tea
Reviewed by: Rebekkah
Type of tea
loose-leaf, oolong Flavor aspects
Where I got it
Teavana Cost
$12.98 / 2 oz
How I brewed it
4 minutes with just-under-boiling, 1.5 tsp in 12-oz mug. Rebrewing notes
Don't.
Whether or not you like this tea will entirely depend on whether or not you believe in re-brewing. The flavor is actually fairly good on the first brew: it's a strongly grape-flavored oolong, more grape juice than oolong juice. In fact if you dislike oolong but for some reason want to drink it, this tea is pretty much grape juice tea.
Therein lies the problem with rebrewing. The second brew is a wrung-out version of the first. If you like grape, the first cup is very tasty; I don't know many people who like watery grape juice, though, and that's what the second cup becomes. You still don't taste the oolong, at least I couldn't; it's just a weaker version of the first cup.
So, as an avid re-brewer, this is NOT my favorite cup of tea. While it's a pleasant enough first cup, I can't stand to reuse the leaves without adding more--which kind of negates the purpose of resteeping the leaves in the first place. And to me, oolongs are designed for multiple steepings. I mean, to me that's the main draw, a tea that has wonderful flavor for 4–5 steepings or more. Needless to say, for oolong lovers I do not recommend this tea.
But to someone who is new to tea, or who doesn't love the light flavor of oolong, it's a great choice. It's actually probably a great step between fruity herbal teas and green or black teas in general. If you don't rebrew, it's a fun choice and very refreshing--I bet it would make an excellent iced tea, too, though I haven't tried it. So it does have some points to recommend it. Just don't reuse the leaves.
But it is pretty, and it does smell good.

People Try Foods and Things; I Laugh
There's something addicting about watching people try new things. Especially foods. If you have a few hours to lose, check out Buzzfeed's People Try series.
Here's a good one to get you started.
Do consider yourself warned: many of these are extremely NSFW, and several I skipped for being a bit too... uh... but all the ones I watched were hilarious.
Publishing Industry News
This week's publishing news and industry blogs post covers 5/22-6/5.
In the UK, the rumor is that Penguin Random House and Amazon UK are having a terms dispute.
JD Salinger has three short stories in the American public domain--which a publisher is packaging and trying to sell to foreign markets. Salinger Literary Trust disputes, and the courts are looking at the impact of individual foreign countries' take on public domain rights as compared to US rights. Since European countries typically have longer life of copyright than American copyrights, but there's an unequally enforced statute that the country of origin's copyright lifespan should be used, the decision could possibly impact the US's take on global public domain policy.
British publishers take on and win against e-book overseas pirate websites.
Agent Nephele Tempest posts a group of Friday Writing Links for 5/22 and 5/29.
Agent Janet Reid gives advice and answers questions. She shares an insightful post on writing a great synopsis. Is it okay to mention that you really like the agent/editor you're querying, or is that unwelcome? (Be specific about what you like, but sincere thanks isn't a bad thing.) You don't like a potential agent's voice or phone mannerisms, despite that they're not rude or particularly bad; is that a legit reason to turn them down? (No. If they've got a good rep and are well-established, the editors who matter are already used to her voice.) Is 6 weeks long enough for an edit and requery? (Not really, a revise and resend takes a lot of work. And not just cleaning up some stray grammar.) How important are websites for queriers? (Not so much for Reid.)
Agent Kristin Nelson offers insight into the Publishers Markplace Deal Lunch subtext: What does each adjective used to describe a deal mean? And what does it mean when no mention is made of an advance?
At BookEnds Literary Agency, a new agent joins the crew. Advice on how to choose what to wear to a conference.
Agents at Books and Such Literary Management share some advice. Wendy Lawton explains why sometimes, when an agent is sitting on a manuscript, it might be the smartest move for the author's career. Rachelle Gardner explains 6 factors in deciding which publisher to go with when offered multiple deals.
Author Kristine Kathryn Rusch reflects on John Scalzi's $3.4M deal with a traditional publishing company, and points out to those who criticize that Scalzi did what he felt was right for his own career--publishing isn't a one-size-fits all, after all.
Fiction editor Beth Hill reminds that often cutting big parts of a manuscript actually adds to the story. If a chapter doesn't feel like it fits after revisions, maybe it's time to cut the whole chapter; you book might have changed enough that less has become more for that particular plot bunny.
When it comes to image file types, which should you use? CompanyFolders gives an infographic explaining when to use which, and also explain in detail, breaking down with a description of each type of image and where it comes from/what it's used for.
How popular is Wattpad? Apparently it has, monthly, more than 40 million people using the site. (in math terms, that's p>40,000,000, and yes, I wrote that out because it's a lot of zeros and I like math and maybe it's getting a little too close to my bedtime as I write this post).
What major publishing news have you encountered in the past two weeks?
(The next news post will July 3, so it may be broken into two parts, or longer than usual. Regular news posting schedule will resume afterwards.--See you then!)

Tea Review: Marshmallow Macaron
Marshmallow Macaron Tea
loose-leaf, herbal Flavor aspects
fruity, vanilla
$7.98/2oz
4 minutes with just-under-boiling, 2 tsp in 12-oz mug. Rebrewing notes
Have not rebrewed yet
Edit: Took it in this morning and tried a second brew. As with almost all herbals, stick to a single brew. Really weak second time around.
The reason I bought this tea was the scent. It's decadent and rich, and if you head into a Teavana and they waft it at you, you may well drop your credit card into their hands right then and there. Heck, if I didn't think it would attract bugs, it'd be almost as useful as a candy-type potpourri as a tea.
If the flavor is much less amazing, it's mostly because not many non-sugary items can taste that sweet. That's not to say it's bad: it's actually quite tasty. The gist of the flavor is fruity--think tart pineapple-hibiscus with vanilla tones. It brews a nice pink color and a long steeping gives it a strong flavor.
This would be a fantastic tea for a kid's tea party (it's herbal, so no caffeine). I'd vote it high on the list for someone learning to like tea. It's also a nice tea if you're in the mood for something fruity and sweet. Don't drink it if you really expect to taste macarons, or if you think it'll taste like marshmallows, or if you want to drink something that tastes like tea (herbal tea=tisane; thus no tea leaves). Do drink it if you're in the mood for a hot, fruit-flavored beverage that smells like cookies.
(Also, if you at first thought the tea name was misspelled, you are as sadly uneducated about cookies as I was before buying this tea, and we should all devote more time to studying cookies to address this problem.)

Where are all the yummy mummies! Nunu milk is here again with something good and nourishing for your children.
It was all fun, merriment and excitement for children at Ikeja City Mall on Saturday, 15th October as Nunu milk launched Nunu Smart Growth, a new formulation that delivers 30% Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) nutrition needed for children to grow healthy and smart.
Nunu smart growth formulation was borne out of the brand's desire to combat malnutrition and stunted growth among Nigerian children as the milk delivers 30% vitamins and minerals needed for children to Grow Every Day.
The event was hosted by popular OAP, Mannie of Cool FM, who thrilled the kids to an amazing time with lots of exciting games like puzzle boards, video games, quiz competition, smart growth challenge and other activities. One of the highpoints of the event was a milk shake competition where kids had the unique opportunity to create their own special Nunu signature milkshake using their own recipes with Nunu milk.
Also present to add more fun to the launch was the Nunu brand ambassador, Omoni Oboli who participated actively in almost all the games and fun events alongside the children. She also contested with the kids in some of the competitions while also encouraging moms on the need for proper nutrition in order to fight against malnutrition, stunted growth etc.
Fun fun fun for the kids.

Q: Laravel Routes Regular Expression start with @ character I need to create a route that responses to any string starting with '@' character. Routes like following examples :
www.mywebsite.com/@john
www.mywebsite.com/@jack
www.mywebsite.com/@something

So I wrote:
Route::get('{something}','SomeController@someMethod')->where('something','/@^/');

But when I test it, I face 404 not found found page.
what is the correct regular expression for this?

A: Route::get('/{tag}', 'SomeController@someMethod')->where('tag', '^@.*');

A: This will also work:
Route::get('@{something}', 'SomeController@someMethod');

A: You can write this
Route::pattern('tag', '@[a-zA-Z]');

Route::get('{tag}', 'SomeController@someMethod');

This way you seperate the logic of the regex and the route and it will work as you want

A: Note the @^ pattern means @ should be followed with the beginning of string, which is not possible, and the pattern never matches any string. The '^@' pattern asserts the position at the start of the string, and only there does it try to match @.
Also, the usual / regex delimiters should be removed from this pattern as they are treated as part of the pattern here.
So, in your case you may just swap the anchor and the @ char:
Route::get('{something}','SomeController@someMethod')->where('something','^@');

Guarantee data consistency and integrity.
Build fully customizable web-based Delivery Portals.
Policies and procedures are important in any industry. In sectors such as insurance, legal services, financial services, and life sciences, they are central to the operation of the business. Mistakes are extremely costly with such industries subject to rigorous regulatory regimes. As a result, to satisfy all regulatory and legal requirements content must be properly structured and complete.
In addition, subject matter experts must rigorously review the content. Content must be released in a timely fashion, and readily available to customers and agents across multiple platforms and devices.
Common challenges include error propagation caused by the distribution of out-of-date information. Also, challenges finding the right content and keeping content up to date in multiple languages, and difficulties in delivering content in the right format and medium, web-based, mobile, or PDF. Above all, different versions may apply to different customers or situations, and the application of incorrect or out-of-date policies may lead to litigation.
Benefits of Structured Content
Structured content can help you to address the challenges in writing policies and procedures. Firstly, templates with boilerplate text define the specific sections and hierarchies required in a document. Updates are global, for example; a particular clause that applies to many policies needs updating due to a law change.
With structure, content reuse is easy and efficient, at the topic, section, or paragraph level. Variables allow you to publish content for multiple brands. You can automate output formatting for perfect presentation in any format. This Includes PDF and responsive HTML5 for viewing on any platform: laptops, tablets, smart phones etc.

July 22, 1921 – November 11, 2009
It is with sorrow that the family of Olga Bakan announce her passing at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital on November 11, 2009 surrounded by her family. Born in the Ukraine to John & Tilly Beskorovayny, the family immigrated and established a family homestead in Gronlid Sasketchewan, where many descendents still reside. Mom left the farm at 16. This started a life long love of travel & change. She has now passed on to eternity where she will be greeted by family & friends who have gone on before her. She married John Bakan in 1944 and moved to Haney where they resided until his death in 1968. She worked in Clapisons and Essondale hospital for 15 yrs making life long bonds with Haney (Maple Ridge). During her lifetime she had lived in several towns in BC and the USA, but always returned to Haney, to her old friends. She moved to Cranbrook, BC 3 years ago to be closer to her family who lived in Cranbrook & Spokane Wash. She will be remembered for her honesty, independence, strong will, volunteer work, cribbage at the Legion, and love of cruising, clothes, shoes and jewellery. She was a strong pioneer woman who had a great loyality to family and country. She leaves behind to honor & remember her a daughter Natasha (Nancy) Malone, Spokane Wash. (husband Dwight Malone – deceased); granddaughter Stacy & a son Wilfred (Wilf) Bakan, Cranbrook BC (Ruth) and grandsons Jon and Jeff. She also leaves behind to mourn her passing her brother Harry Besko (wife Olga) of Gronlid Sask., plus many great and great – great grandchildren, nieces and nephews. There will be no local service by her request. Her ashes will be taken to Gronlid Sask. in the spring where she will be placed in the family plot.

I have my car at that same height and no problems at all with -1.5 front and -2.5 in the rear for camber. You have even more negative so it shouldnt be rubbing the tops at all. But try okaying sih camber more and i suggest try putting spacers you never know. But thats weird. How long have you had the couls?
update on setup , got the rear -re-rolled and adjusted the suspension a bit more , no more rubbing, only over big bumps, lowered my dampening as well. Will be heading to Etown this fall for a nice session to finally get some track time with her.
Back with a different set of wheels from 2015. Thinking of going 18x9 +22 with 255/35/18, anyone ran those specs? share some pics please.
18 x 9 +22 with 255/35/18 will require "fender finesse" and even with that you will still touch the upper wheel well sides on big dips and bumps.
I was running 18 x 9.5 +22 with 235/40/18 Falken Azenis and had to gut the wheel wells. No fender liners, extreme fender rolling (like hitting things with a hammer that stuck out) and it still rubbed on really hard corners and dips sometimes. I switched to Toyo R888 in 225/40/18, added some camber, and did even more work to the wheel wells and it works! A tiny "touch" on huge dips once in a while but almost flawless otherwise. Note: I never did have to pull the fenders which was a priority for me.
I think the perfect setup in 18" for function and form is 18 x 8.5 +30 (or so) with 235/40/18. But I understand this does not look as aggressive as most would like.
The best handling setup I ever had was 16 x 8 Rota Slipstreams with 225/50/16 Falken Azenis. Honda did not engineer cars for big wide wheels... not that we can't make them work.
With BC Extreme Low Coils and SPC Camber Bolts on a previous car I was able to get it to -3.9 degrees of camber out of the front. You just had to tinker with it.
I'm thinking of running 18x9.5 +22. with 255/35/18. i'm not as low as i used to be. so some camber will be fine with me, just not excessive. we'll see how it goes.
