The leading cause of death among children ages 3-14 in the United States is motor vehicle accidents. We can decrease this number by more than half by placing children in appropriate safety seats. Safety seats that are installed correctly can decrease the risk of death by 71% in infants and 54% in toddlers, and decrease the risk of injury to children using booster seats by 59%.
As there are many different types of car seats, it's important to take the time and choose the correct seat to fit your child's age, weight, and height. The safest seat is the one that is installed correctly and used correctly 100% of the time. Here are some of the basics of car seat safety.
Check your car seat manual for information about car seat expiration, height, and weight limits.
Never use a seat that has been involved in a crash.
Remove bulky clothing and coats before buckling up.
Never use items in your car seat that didn't come with the seat.
To schedule an appointment please call 303-582-0426 or email with any questions.
Take the Pledge to be Safe!
Fireworks caused an estimated 11,900 injuries in the United States according to a Consumer Product Safety Council 2015 Fireworks Annual Report. Join the City of Black Hawk, READYColorado, and the Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management teams in pledging to celebrate safely and smartly this Fourth of July.
Visit www.Facebook.com/READYColorado to make your pledge for fireworks safety. Simply like our Pledge to be Safe post. You can also send a tweet to @READYColorado or @COEmergency to share how you are celebrating safely.
Create happy memories free of injuries from fireworks by following these simple safety tips from SafeKids Worldwide and the U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Attend public fireworks displays and leave the lighting to the professionals. The best way to protect your family is to attend a professional display. The City of Black Hawk has another fantastic Boom Town Fireworks Extravaganza on the Fourth of July beginning at 9:30pm.
If you plan to use fireworks, make sure they are legal in your area. In Colorado you can use the general rule of thumb that anything that leaves the ground or explodes is illegal. However, local jurisdictions can add additional restrictions including a ban on all fireworks. The City of Black Hawk will post any applicable bans to their website. Check with your local city or county law enforcement agency.
Closely supervise children around fireworks at all times. Never leave kids unattended around fireworks.
Do not wear loose clothing while using fireworks. Clothing can easily catch fire.
Point fireworks away from homes. Keep away from brush, leaves and flammable substances.
Always have a bucket of water or a fire extinguisher nearby. Know how to operate the fire extinguisher properly.
According to the US Forest Service, escaped campfires are a leading cause of wildfires. No matter what time of year, people need to be careful when deciding when and where to build a campfire. Please check to see if any fire restrictions are in effect before building a campfire.
For more camping safety information, please visit the US Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region webpage.
Despite the risk, everyone can take steps to prepare for wildfires. Take preventative steps now to avoid chaos and confusion in the future should a wildfire come knocking at your door.
Use 1/8-inch mesh screen beneath porches, decks, floor areas, and the home itself to help keep embers out.
Readying for disaster such as wildfire is a community-wide endeavor that requires careful planning and consistency on the part of first responders and residents alike. Ensuring that your family is informed about evacuation routes and procedures, knowing how to prepare and maintain your property to best defend it against wildfire, and having a personal action plan in place can improve the outcome of a wildland fire event.
Use this helpful guide to prepare!
The Fire Department recognizes that the most effective step for protecting household occupants from CO poisoning is to install battery-operated CO detectors near a sleeping area and checking CO detectors regularly to be sure that they are functioning properly. CO detectors serve as an early warning device, notifying occupants of CO before it escalates to a dangerous level. If CO poisoning occurs, homes without detectors are likely to have CO levels nearly five times higher than those homes with detectors by the time of emergency response. CO detectors are effective in both alerting residents to the presence of CO and reducing the number of victims who experience poisoning symptoms.

The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals issued its opinion in United States v. Amado on Monday, November 14, 2016.
Elias Vega Amado, an illegal immigrant, was caught in 2013 with guns, drugs, money, and other incriminating evidence. He was charged with five counts, and pleaded guilty to possession of methamphetamine and illegal reentry. As part of his plea agreement, he "knowingly and voluntarily waive[d] his right to . . . move to modify under 18 U.S.C. 3582(c)(2) or some other ground, his sentence as imposed by the court[.]" His Guidelines range was 235 to 293 months, and he was sentenced to 240 months.
In 2014, the Sentencing Guidelines were amended, and the base offense levels for drug quantities were lowered, effectively lowering minimum sentences for drug offenses. Under the new Guidelines scheme, Defendant's Guidelines range would be from 188 to 235 months. Defendant filed a motion under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) for sentence reduction, which the government opposed. The district court denied his first motion without explanation. Defendant appealed, but asked that pleadings be held in abeyance because the government reportedly would not oppose another motion for sentence reduction. Defendant filed a second motion for sentence reduction in district court, which the district court again denied, issuing findings as to both motions. The district court opined that defendant's first motion did not present a close question, given the plea waiver and the seriousness of defendant's offenses. The district court construed the second motion as a motion to reconsider and held it was untimely filed. Defendant appealed.
On appeal, the Tenth Circuit evaluated defendant's claim that his appeal waiver was not knowing and intelligent because he did not anticipate the amendment to the Guidelines. The Tenth Circuit was not persuaded. The Tenth Circuit held that it had previously ruled that a defendant's waiver of unforeseeable future events was both commonplace and enforceable. The Tenth Circuit affirmed the district court's denial of defendant's first motion.
Turning to the second motion, the Tenth Circuit found the only problem was that after the district court determined the motion was untimely, it ruled on the motion anyway instead of dismissing it.
The Tenth Circuit affirmed the district court's decision on defendant's first motion. As to the second motion, the Tenth Circuit vacated the judgment and remanded with instructions to dismiss it.
The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals issued its opinion in Luna-Garcia v. Holder on Tuesday, February 10, 2015.
Melida Teresa Luna-Garcia is a native of Guatemala whose removal was ordered in 2004. She executed that order in 2007 when she left the United States and returned to Guatemala. She was again discovered in the United States on July 9, 2014, and DHS reinstated the 2004 removal order on July 11, 2014. Luna-Garcia expressed fear of harm if she returned to Guatemala and was referred to an asylum officer. She filed a petition for review with the Tenth Circuit on August 11, 2014, before the asylum officer issued a reasonable fear determination. Later, the asylum officer determined she did not have a reasonable fear, but an immigration judge has since reversed the asylum officer's finding and Luna-Garcia is now in withholding of removal proceedings before the immigration judge.
Luna-Garcia requested the Tenth Circuit to determine when a reinstatement of removal order is final for purposes of appeal. The Tenth Circuit explained the process of reinstating a removal order and possibilities for review of reinstatement. The INA defines finality in terms of review by the BIA, but reinstatement orders are not appealable to the BIA. The Tenth Circuit examined the meaning of "final" and found that it generally means there is nothing more to do than execute the judgment. In the case where an alien argues fear of harm precludes removal, the reinstatement order is not final until the reasonable fear proceedings are complete.
The Tenth Circuit granted the government's motion and dismissed the proceedings for lack of jurisdiction.
The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals issued its opinion in United States v. Garcia-Ramirez on Wednesday, February 18, 2015.
Marcos Garcia-Ramirez entered into a plea agreement that included an appeal waiver, pleading guilty to one count of illegal reentry into the United States and receiving a 19-month sentence. Despite the appeal waiver, Garcia-Ramirez challenged his sentence as "unreasonable," arguing simply that the court should exercise its discretion to bypass any decision on whether to enforce an appeal waiver pursuant to United States v. Black, 773 F.3d 1113, 1115 n.2 (10th Cir. 2014).
The Tenth Circuit noted that Garcia-Ramirez's argument is based on a misreading of Black. Black did not change the Tenth Circuit's judicial jurisprudence but merely addressed a matter of judicial economy in deciding cases. United States v. Hahn, 359 F.3d 1315, 1328 (10th Cir. 2004), continues to be binding precedent regarding enforceability of appeal waivers, and since Garcia-Ramirez failed to cite even a single Hahn factor, his appeal failed and the motion to enforce was granted.
The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals issued its opinion in United States v. Johnson on Wednesday, July 2, 2014.
Vanity Johnson pleaded guilty to aggravated identity theft and conspiracy to commit bank fraud, aggravated identity theft, and mail theft. As part of her plea agreement, Johnson admitted that she committed the criminal acts knowingly, voluntarily, and willingly, but asserted that she was a victim of violence at the hands of co-defendant Mario Diaz and that she was coerced into performing the acts because he would beat her if she did not perform them. Despite the appeal waiver in Johnson's plea agreement, she appealed the imposition of the sentence against her, alleging that the district court injected gender bias into its sentencing decision and allowing the sentence would be a miscarriage of justice. However, she did not raise the gender bias issue at the sentencing hearing.
The Tenth Circuit reviewed the actions of the district court for plain error and found none. After sentencing, the district judge commented that he believed both parties were generally involved in domestic violence cases, and that as a mother of two young children she should obey all the laws, referencing Johnson's repeated minor traffic violations. The Tenth Circuit noted that the remarks occurred after imposition of the sentence, and at best Johnson could only speculate that the remarks influenced her sentencing, which is not enough to show plain error. The judge remarked that he did not hold the domestic violence against Johnson, but that he felt probation was inappropriate based on her misconduct in the traffic violations, for which she would not have been coerced by Diaz.
The Tenth Circuit granted the government's motion to enforce the appeal waiver. As to Johnson's motion to seal her opposition to the motion to enforce, the Tenth Circuit instead allowed her to submit for filing a version of the motion with sensitive materials redacted.

He was tenth on the grid Sunday, after a last-lap collision with teammate Leon Haslam left him down and out the day before. It was a tough break for the Turkish rider, who had battled through the Superpole 1 earlier in the day and showed fantastic pace. But on Sunday, he managed to redeem himself. The first time the field crossed through the finish line, Razgatlıoğlu was still in the tenth position, but his climb began there.
"I'm really happy. We had good lap times this morning during the warm-up. From the race start, in the 10th, I followed Sykes and Johnny. There was too much traffic, but after I could do some overtaking. I'm really happy to be on the podium the first Turkish rider to get one in WorldSBK."
"I had a really good feeling on the bike, it was perfect," he says. "Second place is great."

PS4 Preorder Price Tag Set at $899 by EB Games
March 11, 2018 February 21, 2013 by Mitra Faridian
During Sony's New York conference yesterday many things were revealed about the upcoming PS4 and the features that will come with it. Executives on the stage discussed how the machine will tout a chip containing eight X86-64 cores, 8 GB of GDDR5 RAM, and a "Supercharged PC architecture." They also were very keen on emphasizing how the PS4 will embrace the social side of gaming and allow gamers to easily stream their gameplay. While there was no shortage of information on said features there was a woeful lack of information on two of them. How exactly will the bad boy look and how much havoc will it wreck on our wallets? While Sony was mum on the price, game retailers were quick to swoop in and slap on a few creative estimates of their own.
DUALSHOCK 4 Controller Prototype
The most noticeable of which being EB Games. The product page for the PS4 has the preorder price of $899 in big bold letters placed just under an image that contains a small caption which reads: "Final price yet to be announced." Most shocking are the early estimates on games like "Knack," "Killzone: Shadow Fall," and "Drive Club" which are set to $118 a pop. While these are obviously labeled as placeholders, it's a little unsettling to wonder what caused the popular gaming retailer to value Sony's lineup so high. Hopefully it is more along the lines of random guess work and does not actually possess a method to the madness.
When the PS3 was first released, gamers had to reach deep in their pockets and fork over anywhere from $499-$599 for the entertainment system. Sales trailed to the point that Sony's marketing boss John Koller admitted the following in a 2012 Kotaku interview.
Why we're in third… you know, there's a lot of things that happen in the market that cause sales to occur. I think we've been very staunch in our belief that there's a certain value behind the PS3 and there's certain kinds of games for the PS3 that have stood behind that. There's no secret that we opened behind a high price point. And certainly others got a relatively nice head start on us because of that. That's certainly been part of it.
If Sony follows up with a high figure for the PS4, it would be quite a stretch for marketing analysts to predict skyrocketing sales right out of the gate. For now pricing information is strictly a matter of e-retailers slapping on numbers as they see fit. If the reaction to these astronomical figures is any indication, it is highly unlikely Sony will attempt the gun ho move of giving the gaming peripheral yet another big price tag.
Now excuse me while I go search my couch cushions in case I am wrong.

Q: Validating function arguments? On a regular basis, I validate my function arguments:

public static void Function(int i, string s)
{
  Debug.Assert(i > 0);
  Debug.Assert(s != null);
  Debug.Assert(s.length > 0);
}

Of course the checks are "valid" in the context of the function.
Is this common industry practice?  What is common practice concerning function argument validation?

A: What you wrote are preconditions, and an essential element in Design by Contract. Google (or "StackOverflow":) for that term and you'll find quite a lot of good information about it, and some bad information, too. Note that the method includes also postconditions and the concept of class invariant.
Let's leave it clear that assertions are a valid mechanism.
Of course, they're usually (not always) not checked in Release mode, so this means that you have to test your code before releasing it.
If assertions are left enabled and an assertion is violated, the standard behaviour in some languages that use assertions (and in Eiffel in particular) is to throw an assertion violation exception.
Assertions left unchecked are not a convenient or advisable mechanism if you're publishing a code library, nor (obviously) a way to validate direct possibly incorrect input. If you have "possibly incorrect input" you have to design as part of the normal behaviour of your program an input validation layer; but you can still freely use assertions in the internal modules.

Other languages, like Java, have more of a tradition of explicitly checking arguments and throwing exceptions if they're wrong, mainly because these languages don't have a strong "assert" or "design by contract" tradition.
(It may seem strange to some, but I find the differences in tradition respectable, and not necessarily evil.)
See also this related question.

A: You should not be using asserts to validate data in a live application. It is my understanding that asserts are meant to test whether the function is being used in the proper way. Or that the function is returning the proper value I.e. the value that you are getting is what you expected. They are used a lot in testing frameworks. They are meant to be turned off when the system is deployed as they are slow. If you would like to handle invalid cases, you should do so explicitly as the poster above mentioned.

A: Any code that is callable over the network or via inter process communication absolutely must have parameter validation because otherwise it's a security vulnerability - but you have to throw an exception Debug.Assert just will not do because it only checks debug builds.
Any code that other people on your team will use also should have parameter validations, just because it will help them know it's their bug when they pass you an invalid value,  again you should throw exceptions this time because you can add a nice description ot an exception with explanation what they did wrong and how to fix it.
Debug.Assert in your function is just to help YOU debug, it's a nice first line of defense but it's not "real" validation.

A: For public functions, especially API calls, you should be throwing exceptions. Consumers would probably appreciate knowing that there was a bug in their code, and an exception is the guaranteed way of doing it.
For internal or private functions, Debug.Assert is fine (but not necessary, IMO). You won't be taking in unknown parameters, and your tests should catch any invalid values by expected output. But, sometimes, Debug.Assert will let you zero in on or prevent a bug that much quicker.
For public functions that are not API calls, or internal methods subject to other folks calling them, you can go either way. I generally prefer exceptions for public methods, and (usually) let internal methods do without exceptions. If an internal method is particularly prone to misuse, then an exception is warranted.
While you want to validate arguments, you don't want 4 levels of validation that you have to keep in sync (and pay the perf penalty for). So, validate at the external interface, and just trust that you and your co-workers are able to call functions appropriately and/or fix the bug that inevitably results.

A: The accepted practice is as follows if the values are not valid or will cause an exception later on:
if( i < 0 )
   throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("i", "parameter i must be greater than 0");

if( string.IsNullOrEmpty(s) )
   throw new ArgumentNullException("s","the paramater s needs to be set ...");

So the list of basic argument exceptions is as follows:
ArgumentException
ArgumentNullException
ArgumentOutOfRangeException

A: Most of the time I don't use Debug.Assert,  I would do something like this.
public static void Function(int i, string s)
{
  if (i > 0 || !String.IsNullOrEmpty(s))
         Throw New ArgumentException("blah blah");
}

WARNING:  This is air code, I havn't tested it.

A: You should use Assert to validate programmatic assumptions; that is, for the situation where

*

*you're the only one calling that method

*it should be an impossible state to get into

The Assert statements will allow you to double check that the impossible state is never reached.  Use this where you would otherwise feel comfortable without validation.
For situations where the function is given bad arguments, but you can see that it's not impossible for it to receive those values (e.g. when someone else could call that code), you should throw exceptions (a la @Nathan W and @Robert Paulson) or fail gracefully (a la @Srdjan Pejic).

A: I won't speak to industry standards, but you could combine the bottom two asserts into a single line:
Debug.Assert(!String.IsNullOrEmpty(s));

A: I try not to use Debug.Assert, rather I write guards. If the function parameter is not of expected value, I exit the function. Like this:
public static void Function(int i, string s)
{
    if(i <= 0)
    {
        /*exit and warn calling code */
    }
}

I find this reduces the amount of wrangling that need to happen.

The nucleus pulposus which is usually contained inside the annulus fibrosus may bulge or herniate outward. Tearing through the annulus may produce back pain. If the herniation presses on one of the nerves, symptoms may "radiate" down the leg as far as the toes. A bulging disk may later recede, but an extruded fragment will remain outside the annulus.

Now if you were to ponder about what forms the very core of a business, there could be no doubts about the answer- it would have to be the customer who can make or break a business potentially. That really isn't an exaggeration, it is the truth. That's because the customer is the one who purchases the product and uses it. Naturally, it is extremely important to maintain good and healthy relations with the customer. Keeping the customer happy and satisfied should be the first thing on your mind as a business owner – that should be your number one priority. However easy that may seem, it requires a lot of effort and dedication to retain customers even when it is made easier though the use of modern tools such as a cloud contact center software.
The same goes for any kind of business really. Even though cloud calling solutions make interactions much easier these days, unless you're working on actually building healthy relationships with your clients, what are you even doing? The thing is, when you start out, you might be thinking that acquiring new clients is the most important thing on your agenda. You need to grab as many clients as you possibly can, isn't it? Well, you're then grossly mistaken. It's not just about getting new clients- it's about taking the time to nurturing old relationships with clients and retaining them. If you manage to satisfy your older customers, you actually wouldn't even have to worry about your new clients- since they would be flocking to you instead of you chasing after them.
Maintaining your relationships with your clients is no easy task. If your customers are sticking to you, they would be expecting something more in return. Simply checking on them every once in a while isn't what customer care is all about- there is certainly more to it than meets the eye. You will have to take special measures in order to retain your customers. It would require you to go the extra mile, but here's the best part – it does pay in the end. Here's where a good quality cloud calling software helps you to meet the sky high expectations of your customers, by maintain customer history and what and when the next interaction needs to be. After all, happy customers act as the public relations agents of your company.
So you see how important clients are for a cloud call center? They are technically the hands and feet of your company; if you actually think about it, a call center exists for the sole purpose of serving the customers and more so, if you're an outbound call center. That makes it imperative to work on your client satisfaction and your client acquisition skills. Using the best available call center cloud software will certainly help if you have been lagging behind in this aspect. If you think there is scope for improvement, which is always a positive point for a call center, you need to read on more to find out about the tips that can help you out.
Here's one thing you need to know about running a successful call center on cloud – you will be needing lots of contacts. You need to know people to actually get them to invest in you, don't you? The mantra is pretty simple- no contacts, no business. This is how it works- you do business with a certain client, that client then refers you to people they know and the cycle continues. In fact, they might even send an overflow of business your way which could help you in increasing your revenue. That is really how you increase your circuit and this ever increasing circuit would help you acquire more and more clients in the long run.
2) What if you don't have contacts?
If you're a very enterprising person that has and can generates tons of contacts, you're good to go. However, not all of you might be like that. More importantly, when you start out, you might not even have so many contacts to begin with. Therefore, when you start out, you need to chalk out a plan that can help you get add more contacts. Your goal should be to add as many people as you possibly can. In this generation, where the internet us at your fingertips, it really shouldn't be all that hard. As a matter of fact, there are several networking profiles that can be used to connect with people who are working in the same field as you are. Your cloud call center solution must be mature and capable enough to manage a vast pipeline of leads, contacts, their management and follow-ups through to closure.
You need to put your inhibitions and hesitations aside and reach out to as many people as you possibly can. Importantly, you must maintain a detailed history of all the people in your ever-increasing database and efficient cloud call center solutions help you to do this effectively. For example, you can even reach out to your competitors. Before you laugh this off, think about it. Your competitors could recommend or refer you to customers and clients and even other businesses that they are too busy to deal with. That's good for your business, isn't it? You should always make it a point to contact other businesses as well, who might be able to make use of your services. It would also work out to your advantage if you were to contact service providers, brokers and agents.
An important tool when it comes to reaching out to more clients while dealing with them would be through emails and you must make sure that this feature is inbuilt within your call center cloud solutions. In the present generation, almost every single person you meet has constant access to their emails. If you're mailing people you already know or people who have already done business with you, you can expect to get favourable replies. You should even make it a point to get maximum number of mails out to potential customers who haven't been associated with you dp far. Now there is a very good chance that they might completely ignore your mails and move on. However, what if they don't? And if you're new in this field, this is a risk you're going to have to take.
As has been already mentioned, you will have to reach out to as many companies as possible so that you can convince them to do business with you. Calling these companies can be a real task- you would have to waste precious time of your day calling each of these companies, spend a lot of time being put on hold, wait till you're allowed to speak to the people concerned and even face rejection. The whole process is a tiresome and a tedious one, and the key is not losing patience. That is the only thing that'll keep you going. Who knows, one of these numerous calls may get you the client you always wished for!
Now that you've actually made a number of contacts and have been able to get hold of precious clients, you need to keep in mind this cardinal fact- you will need to go all out! Modern and technologically advanced call centers in the cloud with detailed workflows and analytics help you maintain your clients' information precisely. This helps you to tailor your pitch and service to them accordingly in a timely manner. You shouldn't seem too eager to please since that might leave a negative impression. You need to be polite and courteous at all times and not come off as those telemarketing pests who literally force customers to try out their services. That way, you would be losing out on clients even before you start and that is something you need to avoid.
When it comes to clients using companies that provide call center firms, trust is a major factor. All companies put a lot of thought into hiring the BPO companies. They wouldn't just hire anyone! They would hire only the companies they know and trust. If they're hiring a new company, they would judge all factors, including their infrastructure and tools such as the cloud based call center solutions that is deployed, as well as cross referencing to make sure they're making an informed decision. Once they do, that establishes a certain level of trust. If you manage to uphold this trust, you would be benefiting from it since that would lead to more business and more sales. The rule is pretty simple- you manage to sell your company to them, you establish a solid foundation for a healthy relationship.
When you're starting out, you really cannot afford to be stingy or even picky. At this stage, you're trying your best to establish a name for yourself. You're going to have to provide "free samples". In your case that would mean giving them a free trial of using your call center for a few days or even weeks. That would give them an insight into what you're capable of and what they're going to get if they appoint you. As a matter of fact, you might end up investing hours of your time and get back nothing in return. However, if you're just starting out, this is one of the many things you'll have to sacrifice.
Nowadays, people trust what they can see for themselves more than what people tell them. Put yourself in their shoes- when you're looking for something, what is the first thing you do? You look them up online and visit their official website to make an informed decision. That's why your first step as a call center should be to get a professionally designed website. For example, if you have been referred to a particular company. They would be checking your website out even before they approach you. Naturally, it would be safe to say that the website creates the first impression and there is no doubt about the fact that it is a lasting one. Your website needs to be informative, neat in organization and most importantly, responsive.
If you're planning to start a call center, then you really need to check out the concept of pay per click. Any web marketer should be familiar with the concept. If you don't know about it already, you should make it a point to read up more about it. Pay per click services basically take into account keywords and adwords, all of which would be leading directly to your site. That way, you would be experiencing a boost in the traffic to your site. And we all know what that means, it means an increase in the sales and your revenue.
If you're talking about finding clients and making it big, you'll seldom come across a company that exemplifies this concept more than Shaadi.com. The matrimonial site which was launched back in 1996, at a time when the whole concept of the World Wide Web was still in the early phase. Anupam Mittal came up with this revolutionary idea which allows people to find their life partners online. Can you imagine the uproar it created? The site had one simple objective in mind – to help people find their happiness- and it is probably this simplicity that brought success to the company.
When it initially started out, people were pretty apprehensive about the whole concept, as was expected. No one was really sure of what an online matrimonial site was all about or how it would help them. It certainly took a while for Shaadi.com to establish a momentum. Although it was initially quite hard to get hesitating customers to give the site a try, there is no denying the fact that Shaadi.com is today one of the largest matrimonial sites in the world. As a matter of fact, it claims to have created more than at least 3.2 million matches all around the world. Thus, what could be a better way to learn about acquiring meaningful business and customers than studying the growth of Shaadi.com?
Shaadi.com has a very reliable and simple model that they follow. The fact that the company charges nothing for registration is what attracts a large number of customers. Also, you must have come across their advertisements on social media, television and the other media. If you observe carefully, you will see how their ads directly target the emotions and sentiments of their customers. Also, it creates a lot of awareness about social issues which have gained a lot of spotlight in the recent times. Shaadi.com makes it a point to design their marketing strategies in such a way which strike a chord with their clients. Plus, the opening of a number of offline centers in major Indian cities and the regular contests and games keep the clients engaged. Thus, Shaadi.com has taken all steps necessary to get more and more customers to sign up with them.
It doesn't matter if you are in a different line of business; how you gather customers still remains the same. And that is precisely why you need to follow the Anupam Mittal's model to understand the very core of customer care.

Another wacky and wonderful creation by Nikola Bašić (the local architect who designed the nearby Sea Organ), this 22m-wide circle set into the pavement is filled with 300 multilayered glass plates that collect the sun's energy during the day. Together with the wave energy that makes the Sea Organ's sound, it produces a trippy light show from sunset to sunrise that's meant to simulate the solar system. It also collects enough energy to power the entire harbour-front lighting system.
The place is packed with tourists, excited children and locals every night, especially at sunset, when the gorgeous sea views and the illuminated pavement make for a spectacular sight.

Jun JiHyun-Lee MinHo Confirmed For 'My Love from the Star' Writer's New Drama
Unknown 10:51:00 PM jun ji hyun, Lee Min Ho, NEWS Comments
Talk about a dream cast!
Outstanding actors and Hallyu representatives Jun Ji Hyun and Lee Min Ho are going to star in an upcoming drama written by none other than Park Ji Eun, the writer behind the hit drama "My Love from the Star" and director Jin Hyuk, who was behind "City Hunter".
Today, the casting of the two actors has been officially confirmed for an SBS Wednesday-Thursday upcoming drama with a working title "Legend of the Blue Sea" which is expected to air in November. In fact, Chinese companies have already expressed their huge interest to the said drama even prior to its airing offering enormous amount for the licensing rights of the Jun Jihyun and Lee Minho's drama.
According to several news, the drama is a fantasy-romance and is inspired by the classic "The Little Mermaid". This is highly anticipated!


Even a cursory glance through recent tech trends reveals that what constituted digital transformation just five years ago, is some way off today's definition, reflecting the sheer scope and rapid acceleration of technological innovation.
One commonality, however, is the motivation behind it. All incarnations have ultimately been rooted in the delivery of an enhanced customer experience, driven by an increasingly informed and empowered consumer.
Fuelled by greater access to more online information, multiple channels, and increased choice - all of which have grown exponentially since the early 90s - the rising expectation for seamless and anywhere anytime service has become the ultimate challenge for businesses to address.
We see the first significant and collective response to this traction back in 2008, which up to 2014 represents the first phase of the digital transformation journey. As the global financial crisis took hold, this was the year when businesses both large and small made the customer experience a priority, a significant hike in awareness and focus from just a year earlier.
Consequently, user interfaces played a greater role in a competitive business strategy, transcending conventional methods of customer engagement through the rising number of entry points, be it mobile or tablet. With this enhanced mobility came limitless opportunities to not only reach more customers, but to also better understand them - a visibility that was previously unthinkable.
In 2010, the first seeds of the app revolution were sown, thanks to the rise of the smartphone, which helped to mobilize the workforce and rethink the end user experience across many daily interactions. It was, however, to take another three years before the level of this disruption gained momentum as an accelerant of digital transformation. Only by 2014 can we see the evolution of an app strategy from one that simply replicates web applications on mobile devices to one that transforms the customer experience and a business's internal culture.
More broadly, however, efforts were still tempered by a lack of clear strategy and failure to employ the truly joined up approach needed for meaningful digital change. Fundamental issues with integration architecture still needed to be addressed. CIOs, cautious of implementing major change in a still precarious economic climate, were loyal to legacy applications, despite the compatibility issues which resulted in cumbersome IT infrastructures unable to compete with more nimble alternatives.
Throwing point to point integration models at the problem was all too often the kind of sticking plaster that came unstuck, particularly when attempting to integrate complex infrastructures. Here, the margin for error grew in tandem with the addition of more and more components.
As we entered the next phase of this evolution, signalling digital transformation 2.0, we saw a greater injection of speed and agility in the enterprise.
Central to this was rapid application development, enabling solutions to be created for common business problems around real-time analytics, big data and IoT – all without the need to write a line of code. This speed and simplicity shifted a process usually associated with detailed IT involvement to one that was better integrated into the mainstream day to day activity, empowering a broader range of users to support real-time decision-making and automation, while also driving proactive responses.
In this phase came two of IT's major disruptors - the digital edge, drawing computing and intelligence from the core closer to the data source, along with the wider adoption of public cloud.
By virtualizing physical resources, cloud infrastructure allowed for more efficient use of servers and networks, with the ability to scale resources based on demand. However, this new environment was not immune to past issues. Here, with integration even more critical, if it wasn't tackled effectively poor practice was simply transferred to the cloud, where in fact the issues could be harder to locate and manage than on premise.
As we come to the present day, digital transformation remains a business priority with global organisations committed to spending $2 trillion by 2020 on projects supporting this goal, according to IDC*.
With lessons learnt, it's time for the early promise and innovation to thrive without the teething problems. Getting high-quality data to the right people through the right channels remains the key premise which underpins all efforts and which has signalled a new wave of integration, known as hybrid integration.
Here, interconnecting everything is the mantra, capitalizing on the best of the business core and the network edge, as big data, cloud, IoT and mobile technologies demand alternative integration flows beyond the confines of traditional enterprise that work together seamlessly.
Notably, the customer journey is defined by a more holistic approach that strives to understand them better as an individual. Linking their data from across the different channels and lines of business results in the personalised, real-time and omnichannel service that is now the norm. This enables customer touch points to be targeted with faster and more focused offerings so that a network of service offering can be built around the client, rather than focusing on one product.
What becomes clear is that digital transformation goes beyond simply providing technological solutions and instead signals a complete rethink of an entity's business model and deep restructuring of its digital culture. It's a traction no better embodied by the disruption facing the financial sector thanks to the FinTech startups whose foresight and agility has seen them exploit some of the inefficiencies in traditional banks by harnessing the latest technologies to create innovative products faster and cheaper.
In tandem, we see more attention placed on aligning the internal culture to business strategy, with the proliferation of simple DIY cloud-based applications that enable a broader section of the workplace to map, define and share their business processes and operations in minutes.
As the data generated becomes more plentiful, it demands more intuitive handling to extract the core value from the fluff. Augmented intelligence tools assist humans with sifting through massive databases of information to find insights that lead to deeper questions. This alchemy of man and machine defines this new level of analytical power that is truly transformative.

Hi! I just wanted to say, yes I did it again, my blogger layout has changed back to my old one. Not the previous one, nope, the one that got my blog to grow and that reflected me. So, I just wanted to let you guys know that my blog still exists, it's just the theme that changed and I just felt like this theme made me happy, made me want to grow more as a blogger.
Lately I've noticed that my posts lacked quality. Not quantity, because I've been posting like crazy and I've had so much inspiration, but I want to spend more time writing a post, editing photos and just overall I want to put more passion and love in one single post. If you're trying to post as much as possible, you start ignoring the quality and I don't want that to happen. I'm also saving up for a new and better camera. I feel like my camera is getting a bit old and photographing is a huge part of my blog and my life so an upgrade is necessary.
What do like/dislike about my blog?
Quality over quantity is always preferable. Though you don't seem to have a problem managing both!
nice design,your blog looks really good!


Having outlived and out smoked all of his contemporaries, the fiercely independent Lucky (Harry Dean Stanton) finds himself at the precipice of life, thrust into a journey of self exploration, leading towards that which is so often unattainable: enlightenment.
Honouring an actor like Harry Dean Stanton in a film starring Harry Dean Stanton would surely have felt daunting for even the most experienced of film directors. Not so John Carroll Lynch who, in his poignant debut feature, celebrates Stanton in what, sadly, would be his final performance.
Stanton is utterly superb in Lucky - a charming, funny and moving film that uses the experiences of its titular character to explore issues of loneliness and human connection, life and mortality.
An example of this can be seen in Lucky's first line in the film. He walks into Joe's Diner and says to Joe (warmly played by Barry Shabaka Henley) "You're nothing". Joe then replies "You're nothing" to which Lucky says "Thank you". This exchange was captured (by writer Logan Sparks) from the banter that Stanton used to have with a valet at Ago's in Los Angeles.
"We all felt an immense responsibility to create from Harry's life, and from Harry's interactions, a story about a man who suddenly brings into his heart that he might have weeks and months to live, not years and decades," Lynch explains.
Stanton is ably supported by an impressive cast. While Beth Grant is brilliant as tough bar owner, Elaine, the standout performance for me came from one David Lynch. The legendary director plays Lucky's friend, Howard, a man struggling with the loss of his tortoise.
Nonetheless, making Lucky was a challenge for the new director. The film was shot in 18 days on a limited budget. However, according to Lynch, his primary concern was Stanton's energy.
Speaking before the actor's death, Lynch explained that, prior to shooting Lucky, he had also played the lead in film with an 18-day shoot: "I was in every scene, and I was exhausted - and I am just a little more than half of Harry's age.
"We made a schedule that had as few five-day weeks as possible. We tried to husband his energy in every way we could. but sometimes, we couldn't... In the walking scenes, with the repeating of the sequences, Harry walked about three miles in 100 degree heat. And that was just on screen.
Have you seen Lucky? If you have, what did you think of this film? Let me know in the comments section below or over on Twitter. You can find me @500DaysOfFilm.

Hitchin Town's ongoing battle with its landlords over the Top Field ground appears to be mired in stalemate once more after the latest revelations around the Charity Commission enquiry over actions taken by the Cow Common Trust.
The club, which is celebrating 150 years of association football in the Hertfordshire market town, had urged the Charity Commission to investigate the trust and look at whether they had worked outside the spirit of the Charities Act. The Commission believed that the trustees had indeed breached the 2011 act, but was satisfied that they acted in good faith and were motivated by trying to secure the best future for the charity.
Hitchin claim, however, that the Cow Commoners should have had a "red book valuation" carried out on the land when proposing the land-swap that would have sent the club to an out-of-town site. A "red book valuation" is the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors' professional standard that contains mandatory rules, best practice guidance and commentary for all members undertaking asset valuations.
The media release from the Cow Commoners is the first significant communication issued by them during this entire campaign. It is also the most revealing.
There's no doubt the whole affair has been shabbily handled from start to finish. Hitchin, at least, have a long lease, but now they need funds to develop their ground. A crowd-funding project is in full flow and has raised around £ 1,500. The appeal runs for another 37 days. The club is looking to raise £50,000 through this innovative programme.
The club is set to hold another public meeting to discuss the future of Top Field – August 12 7.30pm.

Kerri Higuch Net Worth, Career, Personal And Early Life
Born in South Korea, Kerri Higuchi has never disclosed her exact birthplace or date of birth to the public; she presently has dual South Korean and American citizenship and works as an actress and writer, although she rose to prominence after marrying an actor John Cho.

kendrick smith sampson
kevin scott richardson
kelly ann cicalese
Kerri's early upbringing is unclear since she has decided to keep this information private; it is assumed that she immigrated to the United States with her family soon after graduating elementary school. She's also made no mention of siblings, leading some to believe she's an only kid. When she was five years old, Kerri began watching movies and television series; her parents watched them every night, and Kerri joined them out of boredom. She aspired to be an actress and devoted her whole life to breaking into the film industry; she graduated from a local high school in the United States and then chose not to attend college to focus only on her acting career.
Acting Profession
Kerri started her acting career in 1995, although she only had minor roles in a few films and television shows until she appeared in the 2002 film "Enough." The film was loosely based on Anna Quindlen's best-selling novel "Black and Blue," which helped Kerri gain recognition in the film industry – the film itself received a passing grade (5.7/10) on the IMDb rating website. Still, both Kerri and Jennifer Lopez, who played the lead role, received praise for their performances.
It took her three years to acquire her next gig as a supporting character on the medical drama television series "Grey's Anatomy" – she only appeared in a few episodes. Her second role was in the film "Sorority Boys," After the film's completion, Kerri decided to test her directing chops by directing her film, "Mr Isaac," in which she also acted. Kerri was then cast in the "Parks and Recreation" television show and the 2009 film "Flashforward." She had her last appearance in the movie "More Things Change" in 2010 but opted to dedicate her time to her children and family rather than acting.
Both John and Kerri are private about their romantic relationships, which is usual among South Koreans. They met at an actor-only gathering when they were invited by a mutual acquaintance who thought they would at the very least become friends because of their similar South Korean heritage. They met as friends at first, then started dating a month later and married in 2006. Kage Cho, their boy, was born in May 2008, and their unnamed daughter was born in February 2013. The family seems to be having a happy life in the United States, with no problems or rumours surrounding their marriage – they are often spotted together at red carpet events. Kerri has not acknowledged any other relationships she may have had before meeting John Cho, and this is their first marriage.
Physical Stats And Net Worth
Kerri has not given her exact birth date. However, she is thought to be about 45 years old. Her long black hair and dark eyes are noted, but her height and weight are unknown. According to trustworthy sources, Kerri's current net worth surpasses $1 million, while her husband John Cho's net worth exceeds $16 million.
