Ouch! Farrah Abraham Leaves Hospital In A Wheelchair Following Her Celebrity Big Brother UK Fight – Is She Okay?
Vicki Michelle wasn't the only Celebrity Big Brother UK cast member who landed in the hospital following Farrah Abraham and Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace's glass-throwing brawl! The Teen Mom OG star left St. Thomas' Hospital in London on September 23 in a wheelchair following the violent fight.
The MTV star tried to remain incognito when she was released from the hospital, as she wore a white baseball cap while being pushed by a friend.
The hospital stint comes after Farrah and Aisleyne threw champagne glasses at each other during the Celebrity Big Brother Bit On The Side aftershow. Aisleyne was the first to throw her glass, as she hurled it at the reality star for calling her a "hag."
Reports claim Farrah went to the hospital to have her back and neck looked at. She was even seen clutching the side of her back in the photos.

Housing scheme rules must also follow the Constitution
It is quite common for the trustees and directors of Sectional Title and other community housing schemes to want to change the Conduct Rules of their schemes in pursuit of a harmonious and co-operative atmosphere between residents – but they must be careful not to overstep the mark and end up with rules that are actually illegal.
So says Andrew Schaefer, MD of leading property management company Trafalgar, who notes: "It is of course quite legal for the standard Conduct Rules to be rewritten or expanded to create a specific framework of expected behaviour for a particular scheme, or to enable the body corporate to impose fines when the rules are broken.
"However, the new rules must be compliant with any relevant legislation – such as the Sectional Titles Management Act, the Companies Act and the Consumer Protection Act – and of course with the Constitution, which is the highest law of the land. This is why it is most advisable for trustees and directors to seek the assistance of a specialist attorney and their managing agents when attempting to revise or modernize their Conduct Rules."
Speaking following a recent statement by the Community Housing Schemes Ombud Service (CSOS) concerning potential reasons for draft Conduct Rules to be rejected, he explains that trustees and directors cannot simply make up new rules by themselves.
"Any changes also need to be approved by the owners in the scheme, and then approved and registered by the CSOS, or they cannot be applied or enforced. Indeed, any rules that were made before October 2016 and have not been registered with the CSOS since then could be a problem to enforce." (For more on the need to modernize rules and the process for doing so, see https://www.trafalgar.co.za/how-to-create-st-conduct-rules-that-really-work/ and https://www.trafalgar.co.za/webinars/)
Schaefer says that in most cases, the proposed changes to Conduct Rules concern issues like parking, noise and the keeping of pets, which are the most common causes of disharmony in community housing schemes. Recently, many schemes have also had to introduce new rules to ensure that they are compliant with the Protection of Personal Information Act. (See https://www.trafalgar.co.za/applying-the-popi-act-in-community-housing-schemes/)
"But occasionally, we see trustees or directors trying to use their positions of authority to make changes or introduce new rules that only serve a personal preference (such as "no shorts to be worn on the common property") or are perhaps vindictive against specific residents they don't personally like. And sometimes we see groups of owners pushing for changes that they may believe would benefit their scheme but would actually discriminate against other residents or employees (such as "no children allowed") and would thus definitely be in contravention of the Constitution."
The CSOS statement gives other examples of unconstitutional draft rules it would reject as follows:
*Draft rules that say domestic staff members are not allowed to receive visitors on the property, not allowed to talk to one another on common property, not allowed to walk around the community scheme without a name tag or pass and may be refused entry to the common property by a trustee. Such rules are clearly discriminatory.
*Draft rules that state that only certain agents or agencies may sell or let units in the scheme. These would impose unreasonable limitations on the rights of the unit owners to market, sell and let their units through the estate agents of their choice.
*Draft rules that say the slaughtering of animals for cultural or religious purposes is cruel and thus totally prohibited within the scheme. Such practices cannot be totally forbidden, in terms of the cultural and religious freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution. However, the CSOS points out that certain conditions for slaughter can be imposed. Conduct Rules can be changed to say that reasonable notice of the proposed slaughter must be demonstrably given to all other residents, for example, that an official from the SPCA must be present at the slaughter to ensure that the animal is not subjected to unnecessary pain and suffering, and that failure to comply with these requirements will entitle the Body Corporate to prevent the slaughter or impose a fine.
"From the above," says Schaefer, "it is clear that CSOS is not just going to rubber-stamp proposed new Conduct Rules for a community housing scheme. These are going to be carefully checked and either rejected or returned for redrafting if they contravene any legislation.
"Consequently, trustees and directors need to answer the following important questions before drafting any new rules and attempting to get them approved and registered:
• is the proposed rule reasonable?
• does it apply equally to all owners and occupiers?
• does it discriminate against anyone or a group or class of people?
• does it have a legitimate purpose?

Bolivia is a fertile country rife with internal conflict. The country has a long history of political upheaval. Today, its burgeoning coca trade furnishes much of South America's cocaine exports. The current president, Evo Morales, is Bolivia's first native-born head of state. A major platform in his campaign was a pledge to be America's "worst nightmare." Morales maintains strong ties to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Cuba's former leader Fidel Castro, both outspoken enemies of the United States.
Originally home to the Tiwanaku (Tihuanaco) civilization and then the Inca, Gonzalo and Hernando Pizarro began the Spanish conquest of the highland then known as the Altiplano in 1532, defeating the local population in 1538. Independence from the Spanish was eventually achieved in 1825. Simón de Bolìvar drafted a constitution and the country was officially named Bolivia. After achieving independence, Bolivia experienced many changes to its government and constitution.
During the 19th century, "the temptation to wholesale corruption was always strong, and honest reform was hard to achieve," the Washington Post explains. In the following century, efforts for positive change were "overshadowed by military coups, rule of dictators, and bankruptcy." Conflicts between the conservative and liberal parties, the military and miners largely responsible for Bolivia's booming tin industry, were ongoing and virulent.
The current President of Bolivia, Evo Morales, is the first indigenous citizen ever to be elected to Bolivia's highest office. Morales ran his campaign on the platform that he would become "the United States' "worst nightmare," Democracy Now reports. Morales did not support the proposed Free Trade Area of the Americas, saying that it would enslave Latin Americans and foster corporate America. Morales maintains close ties to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and former Cuban President Fidel Castro—both outspoken adversaries of American government.
The International Herald Tribune (Associated Press): Morales: following Chavez or Bolivia's own path?
Morales has been locked in conflict with regional governors, who object to Morales's plans to nationalize industries and redistribute resources to the poor. In an attempt to resolve the standoff, there was an August 10 recall referendum; but when all of the votes were counted, both Morales and many of the governors remained in office.

Overcoming Skill Shortages Provides a Major Boost to Growth – ADB
News Release | 20 October 2015
HONG KONG, CHINA — Improving the quality of education, as defined by higher cognitive abilities, can reap huge dividends for economic growth in developing Asia in coming decades, says a new Asian Development Bank (ADB) report.
In a special chapter of Key Indicators for Asia and the Pacific 2015, its flagship annual statistical publication, ADB says average years of schooling in the region nearly doubled between 1970 and 2010, resulting in substantial gains in literacy and helping fuel growth. But this has not been enough to produce sufficiently skilled workers to fully meet current or future demands.
"Skill shortage and skill mismatch are a serious problem in many developing countries, including those in Asia," said ADB Chief Economist Shang-Jin Wei. "Addressing this problem can be an important source of growth. Per capita income in a typical developing Asian economy can more than double in a 20-year period if cognitive skills can progressively reach levels seen in more advanced economies."
The report uses a unique data set of education indicators across 67 economies globally, including 23 from developing Asia and the Pacific, to capture key features of basic educational systems. It shows that improving skills—especially cognitive skills which capture writing, reading, numeracy, and problem-solving capabilities—can substantially increase growth prospects for countries in the region. Across the measures studied, countries can make the most substantial gains in skill levels when test scores and school performance are routinely available to the general public. Curriculum development and early child education can also substantially increase skills.
Governments in developing Asia spent over $1.2 trillion on education in 2014, but the report says higher spending alone will not have the desired impact on skills development. Improving the efficiency of spending is key, with rigorous evaluations and evidence-based policy decisions the cornerstones of reform efforts. Among other things, the report shows that better results are likely when public spending on education is aligned with private sector investment, when teachers are incentivized and when vouchers, subsidies and conditional cash transfers are precisely targeted to needy and disadvantaged groups.
Developing Asia has reaped substantial benefits from its manufacturing boom and the rise of modern services, but changing work trends could halt further gains. The report finds that up to 28% of existing jobs in some economies could be at high risk of disappearing as a result of technological changes. New job opportunities will arise, but for Asia's workers to make the most of these, a solid base of cognitive skills and non-cognitive skills—that require communication and working in teams—are needed to complement specific technical skills.
ADB, based in Manila, is dedicated to reducing poverty in Asia and the Pacific through inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration. Established in 1966, it is owned by 67 members—48 from the region. In 2014, ADB assistance totaled $22.9 billion, including cofinancing of $9.2 billion.

In the good ol' days before 9/11, religion and spirituality used to be the very definition of soft news.

As in Zzzzz….
Located near the back of the Saturday paper, the weekly "Religion" section might include a feature of some 'radical' clergyman who believed science and faith need not conflict (gasp!). Oh yeah! Plus the addresses and service times for local congregations.
Yawn! Where's the comics!?!
These days, however, religion is hard-hitting stuff.
This is the age of fundamentalisms, civilization clashes, sexual politics, and weird stories about Holocaust-denying priests. Religion is routinely portrayed as a source of entrenched ideological chasms, battlegrounds where conservative and liberal voices contest claims to institutional and cultural power.
A perfect example of this surrounds Barack Obama's inauguration, where the very public prayers of Rick Warren and Gene Robinson inspired a truly dizzying array of responses.
But as veteran religion journalist Terry Mattingly points out, the MSM's (Main Stream Media) obsession with a highly politicized religious world can occasionally run it into difficulties. Mattingly is head contributor to GetReligion.org, the blog of the Oxford Centre for Religion and Public Life.
Mattingly's brilliant post, "Oh no, a modern patriarch?" examines media coverage of the election of Metropolitan Kirill as the new patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church. A truly soporific story reminiscent of the olden days, yes, but of some significance on the stage of world religions.
Photo by Rinzewind (Flickr Creative Commons)
Mattingly compares New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and Associated Press stories, noting the use of political labels like "modernizer" and "politically savvy" in a story not readily built for such terms. As a journalist with his own religious stake in the story (he is Orthodox), Mattingly chides the MSM for its failure to simply report facts around a religious happening:
When in doubt, do not attach political labels to people whose primary role in life is defined by doctrine. We know that this is hard for reporters, since politics is the true religion for them and real religion is often viewed as a totally private hobby with slightly less cultural importance than, oh, reality television.
Mattingly is a little snarky, and perhaps rightly so. The new religion-as-hard-news era comes with an expectation that religion is primarily about influence, even when that influence isn't readily understood.
To the editors at The Los Angeles Times, for instance, religion becomes newsworthy when it's about implementing morality on a global scale, or about the extremes one might go to make such changes. Stories are crafted to highlight the political implications of an event and borrow terms from mainstream political discourse.
But in reality, most healthy, functional religious or spiritual convictions indirectly address all aspects of life, not just politics.
But people like Mattingly shouldn't complain too much. The old religion beat has changed, and the change benefits people like him.
For the few who can pull it off, the religion and spirituality beat (its overblown political stories included) can become one of the most interesting parts of the news. And in an era when pundits are saying local news is key for survival, it may become an indispensable part of the surviving news machine.
For the rest, remember where we were before politics became the true religion and religion part of politics.
Oh yeah. Zzzzzz.

Davien is best known as the site of first contact between Humans and the Banu. Discovered early in mankind's extrasolar expansion, Davien was charted by Wendell Dopse and named after his father-in-law. The most unusual facet of Davien's discovery was what it represented to the broader astrophysics community: contemporary science had predicted that no additional jump points would exist in the Croshaw system. When Dopse charted the jump to Davien, it meant that textbooks had to be rewritten and it ultimately lead to a flurry of advancements in jump scanning technology.
Davien itself was not seen as so interesting. A slight, orange Type K Main Sequence Star, Davien was immediately considered nothing to write home about by its original explorers. Four planets orbited the star, the second of which was a candidate (albeit not a top list candidate) for terraforming. The system held no exotic resource caches or strategic military chokeholds; it seemed destined to become a lightly-populated backwater star system adjacent to more developed areas of the Empire.
The result for the Davien system was electrifying. Every independent operator in the galaxy wanted real estate in the system, now set to become the jumping off point to trade with the Banu. With the potential for exotic materials, alien technology and more, the system was flooded with all forms of humanity, and Davien II developed into one of the more populated Human worlds in the galaxy. BabCo GeoBuilders, which had won a low-ball terraforming bid before first contact, was propelled up the stock market as the demand for hangars, habicubes and underground domes soared.
A large, battered and gray rock that is visually similar to Earth's moon, Davien I makes a reasonable poster child for the concept of a useless world. Coreless and without any interesting minerals, there is absolutely no reason to set foot on the planet. In fact, there have been no recorded landings on Davien I since the initial system exploration mission determined that it could never be a candidate for terraforming.
Davien II, named Cestulus after terraforming was completed in the early 26th century, is the system's inhabitable world. Cestulus has a very thin atmosphere and the majority of Human habitation is beneath its rocky surface: elaborate biodomes pump air from above ground into habicubes constructed to stack miles beneath the planet's crust. The world has no particularly interesting resources and the bulk of its economy is associated with transport and shipping. Despite the distance from the Banu, the infrastructure that has sprang up on Davien has allowed it to become the so-called "gateway to the Eastern Empire." Dozens of major cargo runs criss-cross the system, and the planet is dotted in spaceports with facilities to entertain and supply long-haul transport crews.
For reasons not completely understood by sociologists, Cestulus became a flashpoint for political upheaval. In 2529, the feared economic collapse that accompanied the introduction of the Empire's unified currency, UEC, lead to a bloody, two-week riot in the city of Jata. Only military intervention stopped the protest. In 2545 the planet was the site of terrorist bombings that left thousands dead, with bombs being planted specifically to collapse some of the planet's more populated overground biodomes. These strikes kicked off a series of similar (and still unattributed) attacks across the UPE that lead to the adoption of Ivar Messer's Prime Citizen plan. In recent years, Cestulus has become the adopted podium of everyone from Terran secessionists to anti-alien xenophobia groups.
Travelers are well-warned that owing to the system's history of political upheaval, the Advocacy forces and local militia units in Davien are no-nonsense elites. Your cargo will be scanned when you enter the system, land, take off and exit. Waystations and well-equipped militia spacecraft are the rule here, and only the most advanced artificial holds and scanner blankets can possibly move contraband through Davien's "galactic truckstop." There is no humor for smugglers, even the most harmless varieties.
Davien III is a smog planet with an acid-based atmosphere. With no apparent resources worth the risk of establishing a protective enclosure colony, the planet remains uninhabited. Rumors do persist that Davien III is a dumping ground for troublemakers and others who find themselves on the wrong side of the region's organized criminal syndicates. The planet's pools of acid will quickly render any body (or spacecraft or most anything else) unrecognizable.


The Guldmann Hammock sling is designed for lifting and moving people with diminished motor function as it supports the entire body, not including the head, and provides extra support around the hips and thighs. If neck/head support is required, the Guldmann Neck Support Cushion can be used with this sling. The Basic Hammock model is ideal for situations in which the user's thighs need to remain in a neutral position.
This hammock sling is used for lifts to and from a lying position (in a bed, on the floor, etc.) and to and from a seated position. Not only is this lifting sling suitable for most users, but it can also be used for lifts with the leg straps overlapped under both legs – when lifting single- or double amputees, for instance – or used to provide individual/separate leg support for patients who are particularly sensitive to pressure.
The Guldmann Basic Hammock is available in several sizes and is made from polyester material.

On Tuesday, the Juventus player denied the allegations against him by Kathryn Mayorga, who claims Ronaldo sexually assaulted her in Las Vegas in 2009.
However, Ronaldo told Santos and Gomes that he is still fully committed to representing and captaining Portugal going forward, and has no intention of retiring from the national team any time soon.
He wrote: 'I firmly deny the accusations being issued against me.
The five-time Ballon d'Or victor missed the two internationals Portugal played in September.
'Keen as I may be to clear my name, I refuse to feed the media spectacle created by people seeking to promote themselves at my expense.
"My clear conscious [sic] will thereby allow me to await with tranquillity the results of any and all investigations".
"For the next two squad selections, this one and the one next month, Ronaldo won't be with us".
Mayorga says the alleged assault left her with post-traumatic stress, and she wants an eight-year-old legal settlement of her charges thrown out because she says the psychological injuries made her incompetent to agree to it at the time.

Mongoose inbreeding maintains social system?
By Dave Armstrong - 28 Dec 2014 12:42:23 GMT
The human efforts at incest are thankfully rare nowadays, but at least 3 social species mange to produce viable populations with very close inbreeding systems. It is the rarity of their achievement that makes it important to study, despite the obvious loss of genetic fitness. This close family illustrates the banded mongoose at its best, with high survival levels in their cutthroat carnivorous niche! Banded Mongoose image; Credit: © Banded Mongoose Research Project(University of Exeter)
In the Biology Letters of the Royal Society, H. J. Nichols, M. A. Cant, I. Hoffman and J. Sanderson are the authors of a foul calumny against the mongoose race! Working at Bielefeld University in Germany and Exeter and Liverpool John Moores University, they have discovered incest in the family. It is no joke, as several human populations have discovered in the past. The genetic disadvantage of inbreeding depression in the banded mongoose is countered by survival gains in remaining with the social group. Because of this close sociability, banded mongoose are basically very large meerkats,Suricata suricatta, which we all know have great social survival skills.
Breeding between close relatives, as the authors say, unmasks harmful recessive alleles . Even females in this species mate with strangers when the frequent group fights give them a chance to copulate, very briefly! In theory the inbreeding would (1) increase inclusive fitness, and (2) increase cooperative benefits. A large genetic dataset was therefore prepared for Mungos mungo groups with a mean number size of 18.
With all females allowed to breed (unlike the meerkat), the animals remain in their natal groups throughout. Pups are reared communally so that mating after adolescence is often with familiar individuals, though siblings may not be recognised. If a new group forms, a cohort of females from a group meet with a cohort of males from another. Older groups with small numbers would have high levels of inbreeding.
20 microsatellite markers marked out parentage for some group members while the frequency of female breeding in the group was noted in the 14 groups found in Uganda's Queen Elizabeth National Park. This study took 16 years with animals habituated to observation within a 5m distance. Every few days, the whole life cycle could be tracked and every dispersal or breeding event recorded.
The results were analysed for 516 pups, 64% of which had been born to females that used resident males as fathers. 18% were born to females mated with extra-group males and 18% were born to females that had dispersed from the group. Most of the latter pups were fathered by the resident males (ie. 77 out of 95 pups.) As a group aged, relatedness of parent pairs increased significantly, but smaller groups did not follow that expected pattern.
Inbreeding appears to be regular in the banded mongoose. Detailed analysis reveals 8.5% of cases with close inbreeding and a further 16.7 % of moderate inbreeding in the pedigrees. Prairie dogs and meerkats have similar patterns of inbreeding but these few species stand out in the mass of less <2>sociable mammals. Father/daughter incest was the most common (there were 8 examples), as mothers often die before their sons reach a normal breeding age of up to 4 years old. No mother/son breeding was recorded in 170 observations. Other mammals avoid this inbreeding by dispersing the females at adolescence or mating beyond the group. Why does this mongoose inbreed. It could be the extremely high mortality rate within the new groups studied here. They suffered treble the normal deaths. Violence is also the answer to outbreeding for females, as their groups are always at war.
The importance of this paper lies in the use of these rare examples of inbreeders to discover how the genome and the social system cope with the strain. Obviously, there are benefits, but it is extremely useful to know if and how the alleles that would reduce individuals' fitness are dealt with in the species. It would be useful for conservation if the famed Malagasy fossa were to be investigated to see just how sociable or inbred its system of mating is. These magnificent predators are a giant mongoose, with severe conservation worries.


Before you actually start to create a house you have to think about the plan for the house. You cannot just one day decide you should have a house and ask some professional to start creating one for you without any plan. Most of the people go to a professional builder before they make a final decision about the plan for the house they want to have. Then, they look at the plans the builder has and make a choice. If you are someone who is not looking for the top rated landscape design in Adelaide a builder has with them already you can work with them to creating a new plan which suits your taste and needs well. When choosing the right house plan for you, you have to consider a couple of factors.
First, you need to consider what you need from the house. This helps you to decide the size and what parts the house should consist. For example, someone who is planning on living in the house alone could think having two or three bedrooms is enough as far as bedrooms go. Someone who is going to live in that as a family will want more rooms. Someone who hopes to work from home may want to have an office at the house. Likewise, what you want from the house will be different based on your needs.
If you look at a certain swimming pool construction Adelaide the builder is going to provide you with the estimated expense of making that structure. You need to consider if you have the money to create that house. Most of us are going to get a mortgage for house construction work. Still, there is a limit we can get as the mortgage too. So, our decision about the house we create has to be based on our budget too.
How long the builder is going to take to complete the work is also going to be a factor you have to consider. You should have an idea about when you can move into the house. There are times when people have to move to the house as soon as possible. If that is the case you should think about a plan that can be completed within a short period. While considering these facts when selecting a plan for your house you should also think about how possible it is for this house you are creating to have new parts in the future.

The times of testing and trial over the past months have been about readiness for promotion in anointings and callings.
There have been shifts going on in the spiritual across this city and beyond.
There have been shifts going on in your life and in the lives of others all around you.
In some ways you have felt like Dad has isolated you at times and made help and comfort hard to find unless its directly from Him in this season, but it has been for good reason.
Right now as we come into the ending phase of this spiritual time and season, I find myself wanting to encourage myself and you to press in to our great Dad in praise, in worship, in meditations and time pouring out our souls to Him and with Him.
Don't miss the best He can give you by allowing any sourness to taint your mind or heart. If there's any there because you are battle weary and pressed hard, please accept my encouragement to surrender it all to Him for healing.
Keep leaning in to our Kind hearted Dad and receive His comfort, even with tears.
This season is drawing to a close so help Him make it the best for you.

Walmart Is Finally Ready to Launch an Amazon Prime Competitor. What Walmart+ Means for the Stock.
Teresa Rivas
Updated Sept. 1, 2020 11:07 am ET / Original Sept. 1, 2020 9:19 am ET
Walmart+ marks a further push into Amazon.com's territory and comes as consumer habits are in flux,
Walmart stock was rising Tuesday, after the company said its new subscription service, Walmart+, will make its debut in two weeks, with a yearly subscription priced below Amazon Prime. The move is the retail giant's latest pushback against Amazon.com and shows the value of its store base as it does.
Walmart (ticker: WMT) said Walmart+ will combine its e-commerce business with more than 4,700 stores, 2,700 of which have same-day delivery capabilities. A subscription, which costs $98 a year or $12.95 a month, will give members unlimited free delivery from stores, fuel discounts, and the ability to use the 'Scan & Go' feature in the Walmart app, to pay while they shop in stores.

Zoom Is Now Worth More Than IBM
Mnuchin: A Bipartisan Stimulus Agreement Still Should be Reached
The news isn't a surprise. There were reports in early July of a Walmart subscription service. The speculation helped boost Walmart shares, and analysts said it could help the company compete against Amazon.com (AMZN), especially in key areas such as groceries.
Amazon Prime costs $119 a year, or $12.99 a month. It comes with a host of other benefits beyond fast free shipping, including Prime music and video streaming. In its news release, Walmart said it plans to "leverage its wide-ranging strengths to add additional benefits for members in a variety of services and offerings." Prime comes with a 30-day free trial, compared with Walmart+'s 15 days.
Walmart stock was up 5.4% to $146.41 in premarket trading Tuesday as Dow Jones Industrial Average futures slipped 0.4%. With the shares up nearly 17% year to date through Monday's close, it isn't as if Amazon has done much to hinder Walmart's growth lately. Still, investors have been eagerly awaiting the announcement of Walmart+, because it marks a further push into the e-commerce giant's territory and comes as consumer habits are in flux, and thus potentially more open to change.
Retaining the new customers that big essential retailers have gained during the pandemic is one way to expand market share beyond this year's panic buying. As shoppers get more accustomed to curbside pickup and fast delivery, the convenience of programs like Walmart+ are one way to keep them coming back.
Walmart hasn't shied away from investing in technology and e-commerce in recent years, so it makes sense it would want to further flex its muscles in this way, especially as it leverages its huge store base to facilitate fast order fulfillment.
Nothing about 2020 is expected, but perhaps one of the strangest twists is the fact that in the year when nearly everyone started shopping online is also the year that big-box retailers' large network or bricks-and-mortar locales were cemented as a competitive advantage instead of a drawback.

Walmart stock was rising Tuesday, after the company said its new subscription service, Walmart+, will make its debut in two weeks, with a yearly subscription priced below Amazon Prime.


I was attending the first M3 Conference last November when I started talking with a few buddies there about what we thought of M3. The attendance, sessions, and general "buzz" during M3 as people discussed, debating, learned, and compared the various mobile platforms was great! As guys with a passion for cloud computing, we were thinking that there really should be something similar to M3 but for cloud computing.
Fast forward a few months and the inaugural CloudDevelop Conference is born! CloudDevelop 2012 will be held on Friday, August 3rd in Columbus, OH in The Ohio State University's Ohio Union.
The goal with CloudDevelop is to be the Midwest's premier conference for cloud technologies and application development. I feel it is important to point out that CloudDevelop is cloud vendor / technology neutral. CloudDevelop will feature sessions that cover all cloud platforms and services. By having a mixture of cloud computing vendors, technologies, and topics at CloudDevelop, the organizers feel that will provide a dynamic and engaging conference for all attendees.
If you would like to speak at CloudDevelop, I would encourage you to get your best Windows Azure, Amazon AWS, Heroku, AppHarbor, Google AppEngine, etc. session abstract ready and submit a few sessions today! Please submit sessions at http://clouddevelop.org/SubmitProposal.html. The call for speakers closes on May 10th.
CloudDevelop wouldn't be possible without the generous support of sponsors. If you're a cloud provider or tool vendor and would like to be a sponsor of CloudDevelop, please view the sponsor prospectus at http://clouddevelop.org/CloudDevelopProspectus2012.pdf to learn more about the opportunities available.


One of the weirdest things to happen to the '90s, without a doubt, has been the '50s. One minute, the air stank of grunge and heroin chic; the next, flannel-wearing slackers had become a cocktail nation of martini-sipping swingers. What could be cooler than that which for decades was considered the apotheosis of cheese? And who else could be at the epicenter of retro swank but the undisputed kings of Vegas cool -- Frank, Dino, Sammy, Peter and Joey -- the Rat Pack?
But as Shawn Levy's history of "the last great showbiz party" reveals, it was not all fraternal bonhomie and harmless hangovers in the desert with Sinatra and the boys. And what across the distance of time looks like the ultimate fraternity -- a luxurious club where the bar was always stocked, the dames were always beautiful and every show ended on a high note -- was in reality a self-made and highly self-destructive dysfunctional family.
The Rat Pack's verminous sobriquet was an apt one. Its members were haunted, hunted creatures, scurrying from one place to the next, scrapping for every morsel of success that came their individual and collective ways. They were bound by the common experiences of tragedy, poverty, prejudice and physical limitations; they were suffocated by mobsters on Frank's side and the Kennedy dynasty on "brother-in-Lawford" Peter's. They were in so deep in all the wrong pockets that they couldn't sing, joke or dance their ways out, and they were too fucked up to notice even if they could have. Maybe it was, briefly, a great party, but the tab turned out to be higher than anybody expected.
Levy's chronicle is no breezy read -- something to flip through with one hand while snapping your fingers to "Come Fly with Me" with the other -- though the author does provide plenty of the rat-a-tat scandal-sheet style befitting a book with the word "confidential" in its title. He plunks "broads," "suckers," "dames" and "schmucks" throughout the text like ice cubes in a highball glass. He populates it with seedy joints like a nightclub called El Dumpo, poetically located in Cleveland. And he throws in moments of purely Rat Pack-era machismo -- giving us Sinatra, brushing off an overly familiar U.S. senator with a terse, "Get your hands off the suit, creep."
But despite the author's forays into lounge lizard lingo and his positively schoolgirlish adoration of Sinatra's voice ("a gift no more explicable than those of Joyce and Picasso"), the book still packs an emotional wallop. It isn't the crooning or the banter or the suits that matter all that much in the end, despite their current ironic allure. It's that, for all of them except Frank, the King Rat, that moment of glory on the stage of the Sands was so desperately hard-won, and so quickly lost to betrayal and personal decay. The golden light that shone on them must have, for a while, felt very real and very warm. But, as Levy heartbreakingly demonstrates, it was only neon, cold and easily extinguished.


The fact that Sales Training ROI is elusive is almost legendary. The truth is, most Sales and Sales Enablement leaders have no plan for behavior change or supporting the attainment of sales mastery. In this webinar, Mike Kunkle will share an approach that is proven to deliver results and ROI.


Docking in Puglia, the heel of the Italian peninsula, can be the perfect chance for a shore excursion through the best destinations of this land of sea and sun.
Bari is surrounded by an endless, blue sea, and here every single thing appears enchanted, starting from the Normanno-Svevo Castle and continuing with the San Sabino Cathedral and the San Nicola Basilica. Dominated by scents that you can breathe in every corner, where the old local ladies are preparing fresh pasta, and in its most beautiful squares, the Mercantile and the Ferrarese Square.
Matera European Capital of Culture 2019 and World Heritage Site, is named after the starred sky that at night reflects on the Sassi, the characteristic homes obtained in the tuff rock. You will also discover its historical centre and the hidden side of the city, the one that lies beneath the ground.
If instead you will choose to head toward the Itria Valley, you will discover the city of the trulli, local white constructions made by dried stone, with conical roofs: Alberobello. Their white pinnacles standing against the blue sky will leave you speechless.

Timber value jumps, still drops to No. 3
The information presented on this page was originally released on December 13, 2012. It may not be outdated, but please search our site for more current information. If you plan to quote or reference this information in a publication, please check with the Extension specialist or author before proceeding.
Agriculture, Forestry, Timber Harvest
Ms. Linda M. Breazeale
MISSISSIPPI STATE – An 8 percent increase in a billion-dollar industry is significant, but timber still fell from its long-held second place spot on Mississippi's agricultural commodity list.
James Henderson, assistant forestry professor with Mississippi State University's Extension Service, is estimating the 2012 value of Mississippi forest products to be $1.03 billion, compared with $957 million the previous year. Final numbers using more complete data will replace the estimate in February.
Forestry has been in one of the state's top two commodities for a quarter of a century, spending the last 16 years behind poultry and eggs. In 2012, MSU economists predict soybeans will leap into second, pushing forestry to the No. 3 position.
Henderson said forestry and forest products sectors will remain a driving force in the state's economy.
"Processing harvested timber into products, such as lumber, paper and wood furniture, results in an economic impact to the state, amounting to more than $10 billion in sales and contributing to more than 63,000 jobs," he said.
"The primary factors contributing to the 2012 harvest value's predicted increase are continued improvement in the national economy and residential construction," he said. "Pine sawtimber and hardwood pulpwood prices increased 2.5 percent and 17.2 percent, respectively. Both of these products were at historically low levels during 2011, and modest increases in demand for housing and pulp products resulted in modest improvement in demand and prices."
Henderson said the housing market continues to show improvement. Evidences of this change are increases in home sales and residential construction, and low inventories of new and existing homes.
"New home construction is expected to maintain a positive trend over the next several years, and demand for sawtimber should continue to show increases during 2013 as lumber mills increase production," he said. "However, stumpage prices will not necessarily increase greatly over the next several years as timber inventories in Mississippi are high."
Estimates from the Mississippi Institute for Forest Inventory indicate increases in standing pine sawtimber of more than 43 percent since the beginning of the U.S. housing bubble collapse.
"It will take several years to reduce this inventory," Henderson said.
Other product categories, such as pine pulpwood and hardwood sawtimber, showed price declines ranging from 2 percent to nearly 8 percent, reflecting relatively higher prices during 2011 with little improvement in demand during 2012.
"On the supply side, most mills were able to accrue substantial inventories earlier in the year because of the relatively dry spring and summer. Thus, demand from forest product mills began to wane, particularly for sawtimber products," he said.
Henderson expressed his belief that the U.S. housing market is on the path to recovery.
"Housing starts and permits -- leading indicators of construction -- are up by 42 percent from this time last year," he said. "Both new and existing home inventories are at lows not seen since the peak of the U.S. housing bubble. These are all positive indicators that demand for timber will be expanding over the next few years."
David Jones, assistant forest products professor with MSU's Extension Service, said when housing starts increase, all products made with wood increase in demand, including lumber, furniture and paper. While some export markets have declined, such as Greece and Italy, others have increased along with domestic demand, such as South Korea and Japan.
"Most people don't realize that natural disasters boost production and demand for forest products," Jones said. "Japan's tsunami recovery really kicked in this year, plus Hurricane Sandy hit the Northeast. Even bad winters can boost pole and piling manufacturing. Telephone poles have to be replaced when they are snapped by ice storms."
Jones said Hurricane Sandy will help the industry finish the last quarter of the year strong.
"Usually this time of year, mills have a low inventory. When you combine that with a natural disaster, prices pick up. 2013 should continue strong if current projections hold, and it should be a good year for forestry and forest products," he said.
According to the Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce website, the state has 19.6 million forested acres owned by 125,000 landowners.

Great site that I always check in on.
I have a comp question. Let's assume I go to a casino with the intention of playing a 3-reel $5 machine at 2 coins, $10 per spin. I intend to run $10,000 through the machine and quit. Assuming I play 6 spins per minute, ($60)--$3,600 per hour the $10k gives me about 2 3/4 hours of play, running $10k through the machine.
Another player plays a 3-reel $25 machine at 2 coins, $50 per spin, at 6 spins per minute = $300 per minute. That would give them approximately 35 minutes of play for the same $10,000.
Would all comps be equal since we both played $10k or would the $5 player get more since he put in more time. I'd assume the casino would rather have the $5 player, so would he get an edge?
I can't believe it but I was in Vegas in May, went to visit Wynn, and saw a $5,000 slot machine!
Thanks for the kind words about the site.
Slots comps usually don't work the same as table game comps. Playing time is important in determining table games comps because it is used to calculate the theoretical win from the player. Slot comps are usually based on action and it doesn't matter how long it takes to give the action.
In your example, I would expect most comps to be equal, but the $25 player may get some offers that the $5 players doesn't get. The $25 players are more valuable because if they decide to play a few extra minutes, they'll give much more action than if the $5 players played the same number of extra minutes.
A $5,000 machine? I won't play it. Every hit requires a W-2G. That would really slow me down.

You are at: Blog » Business Models » Delineated: How does Letgo work?
Letgo is a website and an application that lets the users buy and sell thing online locally. It was founded by Alex Oxenford along with Jordi Castello and Enrique Linares in 2015. Alex was the former CEO of OLX, an online portal to buy and sell products to people nearby. OLX was available only outside the US. Letgo provided similar facilities in the US. The company was competing with eBay and Craigslist. They dominated the online marketplace since the 1990s.
Let's see how does Letgo work and how it benefits the user. Here we'll see various aspects of the application and learn about them.
Selling here is super simple. The seller just has to click pictures of the product they want to sell. Once the listing is visible buyers will contact the seller. The seller can communicate with them and finalize the deal. That is an easy sale.
If one is signing up using the traditional email address they will be asked for a password. After entering some of the basic personal details the profile is active and good to go. After logging in they can upload pictures and wait for the listing to be visible for discovery.
On Letgo there is a feature called 'Build trust' where users can verify their profile. Verified profiles earn trust from the buyers. This increases the chances of the sale. On Letgo, verified equals to trusted.
Chat: This feature on the application lets the seller communicate with the buyer. This is where they answer the buyer's queries. The seller can decide upon the final price of the product here.
Profile: This icon takes the user to their profile. Here they can view all the product listings and edit other settings on the profile. Such as active products and posts.
This is all you need to know about the various features on Letgo. These features make Letgo a very user-friendly application.
How does Letgo work for sellers?
Now, let's understand how does Letgo work for sellers. The users can sell almost anything on Letgo, yet there are some things to keep in mind. Letgo has a prohibited items' list which is used to filter product listings. This list contains all the items the user CANNOT sell on the application. For further details, the user should refer the prohibited list on the Letgo website and application.
How to sell on Letgo?
Selling on Letgo is pretty simple. The user can have the listing visible in a few steps and the product will be sold soon. Here is a stepwise model through the selling procedure on Letgo.
The first step is to click really nice pictures of the product to sell on Letgo. It is advised to take pictures from all angles which gives the buyer a better look of the product. If the product is dark and black, use a flashlight to enhance the details of the product.
After uploading the pictures on Letgo, the user need to write a description of the same. Here, the user will be describing the product. Give as much information as possible of the product listed. This is what is going to attract buyers increasing the chances of selling the product.
Step 3: How much is it for?
In this step, the user does the pricing of the product. After adding the description of the product the user add a price to it. They can also leave it open for negotiation.
After the pricing for the product is done the user needs to add a title and category to the listing. the product will appear in the category the user selects. The title will show right below the picture. It is very important to select the right category and give an appropriate title.
the user can also change the location for the item they want to sell. Just go to the setting tab and click on the location. Now the user can select the location of their choice and save.
After completing the entire process the user needs to wait. This is because any post takes up to 40 minutes to go live on the application. The product listings are processed by Letgo before they go live. Once the product listing is visible the user can keep a check on the views by going to their profile and product listing. This will let the user know how many customers are interested in their product.
Once any buyer contacts the seller, they can communicate with them on the Letgo app itself. the seller can finalize a final price of the product with the buyer here. After the final deal, the sale is done.
In any application, there are several features that make it unique and better than its competitors. There are many such dynamics of selling on Letgo which makes it the most user-friendly application. Let's understand them in detail.
Once the products are live on the application the user can keep a tab on how many customers viewed the product. This will let them know if the product is attracting a good number of customers. This gives the user a fair idea of chances of the product being sold.
If someone tries to sell anything from the prohibited items' list on Letgo, their product listing is discarded. It never goes live and the product is not visible on the application. the user needs to make sure that they refer to the updated prohibited items' list from time to time. This can avoid the product listings being discarded.
With its chat system, Letgo makes it very easy for the user to communicate with potential buyers. the user can answer their queries and explain the features of the products. It is very easy to use as the seller will receive a push notification and an email every time a buyer messages them. This keeps the user notified without having to open and check the app again and again. Letgo warns its users to not give away their personal email ids, phone numbers or addresses to the buyers. It is suggested to keep the communication strictly to Letgo chat for security reasons.
The exchange is happening between two parties and they have come in contact through a third party ie. Letgo. Therefore, Letgo does not get involved in any monetary transactions. It does not support any modes of electronic money transfer. The seller needs to ask the buyer to pay them in cash. the user can also use PayPal if decided and confirmed by both the parties. Letgo suggests its sellers to not take payments through checks or wire transfer. As this may create further problems like the check getting bounced after the sale.
Letgo does not support any online transaction. Therefore, it does not provide the refund for any of the deals taking place on the application.

Until his cancer was diagnosed in December, Mr. Sanford had taught government and public policy at Duke and practiced law. He was president of the university, in Durham, after serving as Governor and before his term in the Senate. Mr. Sanford was at various times a lawyer, a member of the North Carolina State Senate, from 1953 to 1955, and, in the early 1940's, an agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Mr. Sanford was Governor from 1961 to 1965, a time when civil rights demonstrations were frequently met with violence. In a speech on Jan. 18, 1963, he called for an end to job discrimination against blacks and announced the creation of a biracial panel, the North Carolina Good Neighbor Council, to work toward that end.
His own liberal programs notwithstanding, Mr. Sanford preached the virtues of ''state responsibility,'' if not states' rights, as an antidote to creeping ''big Federal Government.'' Under state law, Mr. Sanford could not succeed himself as Governor.
Mr. Sanford, who had declared his support for school integration, was beaten in the 1972 North Carolina Democratic Primary by Governor Wallace of Alabama. That humiliating loss in his home state effectively ended his candidacy.
Four years later, Mr. Sanford ran for President again but dropped out early. He said he had found it impossible to gain enough news coverage and to raise enough money, and that he was sick of campaigning.
In 1986, having left Duke, Mr. Sanford ran for the Senate. When President Ronald Reagan made several appearances on behalf of his opponent, Mr. Sanford knew better than to criticize a President. So he suggested instead that North Carolina did not need a ''go-along Senator.'' Mr. Sanford won a narrow victory.
''Nobody in the Senate thinks I caved in,'' he said later.
In fact, his colleagues on both sides of the aisle were saddened at seeing him buckle.
After the war, mustering out as a first lieutenant, he received his law degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and became active in the North Carolina Democratic Party.

Why The Nintendo Switch Will Do Better Than The Wii U, According To Reggie Fils-Aime
Jan. 17. 2017 9:02 PM
Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has high hopes for Nintendo's new hybrid console, which can transform from a home TV gaming station into a portable gaming device. In fact, he has specific reasons why he believes the Nintendo Switch will do better than the Wii U thanks to clear marketing and a steady stream of game releases.
In an interview with Gamespot, Reggie Fils-Aime explained clearly and thoroughly why he felt the Switch would encounter a different fate on the marketplace than the Wii U. He admits two major faults in the previous console and says the new one will not have these problems, saying...
Nintendo Switch is a home console you can play anywhere, with anyone. Clear. Compelling. We see the reaction by consumers whether it's measured in Twitter trending topics or views of videos on YouTube or just the frequency with which I get called by old high school buddies that I haven't heard from in 30 years who are asking me how to get their hands on Nintendo Switch. We have communicated the proposition clearly and it is compelling.
There's no doubt about it. Despite criticisms and some negative reactions (that Reggie conveniently avoided mentioning) there's literally no confusion about what the Nintendo Switch is. Half their marketing battle is done, something they did not successfully manage to convey with the Wii U. The latter device (even to this day) is still thought of by casuals as being an accessory for the Wii. It's not hard to find a casual consumer who will say "No, I'm not buying a Wii U, I already have a Wii".
Nintendo's lack of separation between the two units meant that they had already lost pretty much the entirety of the casual market. Heck, even during the first demonstration at E3 I thought that the Wii U was just an add-on for the Wii. The base console looked the same and it seemed like they were just adding a tablet accessory.
Nintendo quickly fixed that mistake with the Nintendo Switch by clearly and conspicuously running the first Nintendo Switch ad to show that it was a home gaming console you could take with you. They wisely showed multiple examples of the Nintendo Switch's portability. Even without saying a word, everyone understood what it was, even Jimmy Fallon!
However, there's a second issue... launch window content.
Even Reggie admits that the Wii U had fantastic content that wasn't quite released in a timely manner, saying...
Wii U will go down as having fantastic content--the issue was as you look at the reality of exactly when the games were launched, there were large gaps in between,
The launch window software for the Wii U was spaced out, delayed or just non-existent, especially after companies like Ubisoft later pulled their exclusive Wii U titles and turned them into multiplatform games.
For the Nintendo Switch the situation isn't too much better, but there's definitely smaller spacing between releases. They have only a few launch titles on hand, led by Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but they have a total of 80 games in development that are scheduled for release on the Switch. The launch window software for the system has just over 10 games, with heavy hitters like Splatoon 2 set to go live during the summer. By comparison, most previous consoles (including the Wii U) launched with just over 20 games, most of which were cross-gen.
The Switch's library could easily be extended if the Virtual Console backward compatibility carryover turns out to be functional at launch, and could easily help extend the playability of the system. However, while marketing seems to have been fixed for the Nintendo Switch, software line-up is still a big problem.

Some things just improve with age! This Road Worn Series Strat is finished in a Nitro Lacquer Olympic White finish to give it the vintage mojo and feel of a 60's instrument.
This Fender Road Worn 60s Stratocaster in Olympic White / Pau Ferro specification is part of Fender's popular Road Worn Series. For those players who dig the broken-in look and feel, it doesn't get much better than this authentic 60's Stratocaster. This guitar sounds, looks and feels like it's been a trusty workhorse for decades!
The key to the beaten up, cool appearance of this Strat is it's Olympic White Nitrocellulose finish. Just like original Fender instruments crafted in the 60's this guitar features a finish that has worn through to the wood, rusted hardware, a bruised neck and yellowing plastic parts. Like a fine wine this Strat will only improve and mature with age!
Not only does this Strat look the part but it ticks all the boxes for those traditionalist Fender fanatics. Players can expect the more narrow vintage style frets along with a 'C' shape Maple neck and a Pau Ferro fingerboard. This fingerboard will make those who grew up with the 50's, 60's and 70's instruments feel right at home thanks to 7.25" radius with the old school neck curvature and a beautifully satin 'worn in' neck.
This Mexican made Road Worn Series Strat also delivers in the tonal arsenal too. Fender have opted for a set of three Tex Mex single coil pickups which have their own unique character while staying true to the traditions of the Strat tone we know and love. This set are over-wound for clear bass, sparkling highs and max output which is why they are ideal for both soaring clean tone, earthy Texas grit and almost everything in between.
