From location data to SEO, columnist Wesley Young of the Local Search Association provides his top 10 list of local search lessons learned in 2017.
SMBs often feel at a competitive disadvantage compared to larger companies who benefit from scale at every level, including the purchase of search advertising or other marketing services. Data is helping even the playing field as it emphasizes quality over quantity.
Better data resulting in better targeting means that local businesses experience lower costs, higher conversion rates and greater ROI. And while targeting is not a new strategy, what's new is the access to and quality of data.
Just as the price of technology drops with increased adoption, data will be cheaper, more accurate and more insightful. The Internet of Things (IoT) is driving growth in data much faster than what could be achieved by mobile phones alone. It's estimated that by 2020, there will be over 50 billion connected devices, including wearables, home devices and automobiles. And it seems that nothing is off limits — internet-connected ink for tattoos, mascara and contact lenses have already been developed, making the potential for the type and volume of data collection seem endless.
Ultimately, having the right customer data rather than scale is the new competitive edge.
There's been a lot of attention focused on understanding online actions and whether they drive offline visits, i.e., the ability to attribute store visits to online marketing efforts.
Yet perhaps the opposite is even more important: measuring offline actions to predict online behavior. While measuring offline behavior has, to date, been largely reliant on location of mobile devices, IoT devices now bring a much greater diversity of data into play.
Knowing real-life choices, actions and behavior better predict online decisions than clicks, search history and page views. That offline behavior is a deeper and more complete picture of the real world and forms more accurate indicators of intent.
As recently as 2015, Facebook's local search functionality was woefully bad. Major changes since then have made Facebook a real local search player. Facebook uses location information, better indexing and richer business profiles to offer robust search results.
Yet the game-changer for Facebook is the way it is beginning to incorporate its vast bank of personal data into search results that allow targeting and profiling at an unprecedented depth.
Its social media data provides insight into preferences, hobbies, taste, beliefs and other personal behavior that will help Facebook predict intent or choices far more accurately than Google can. And that should scare the bejesus out of Google.
Whether it's the threat of competition from the likes of Facebook or other reasons, Google has always striven to provide consumers with search results that best match what they are looking for and content that will be most helpful. So it is no surprise that Google is looking more deeply and more specifically at ranking factors that determine search results.
SEO can no longer be a one-size-fits-all solution. To be most effective, SEO ranking factors must be analyzed based on vertical and other business-specific characteristics.
For example, even though general statistics say that content with images performs much better in user engagement and action, studies have shown that the top-ranking websites for financial products and services contain 40 percent fewer images than the average universal benchmark. While many cite the large percentage of consumers who leave slow-loading websites, the top-ranking travel websites took on average three seconds longer to load than the universal benchmark. Users are willing to wait for the right content and read lots of text when doing so meets their needs.
Use of ranking factors such as backlinks and keyword frequency to boost search results needs to be customized based on content and relevance. Understand your consumers and how they utilize your business's website and content. Do they rely on images for visual information, or do they look for detailed text that needs to be broken down into more readable, bite-sized bullet points? Does social media convey the type of image that you seek to convey? Does LinkedIn reach your audience better than Facebook?
Answering these questions and building a website showing Google you are mindful of what relevant content a targeted audience seeks will boost your search rank.
It's long been believed that the majority of shopping happens locally, despite the growth of e-commerce. A Google study conducted in May 2014, "Understanding Consumers' Local Search Behavior," found that 72 percent of consumers who searched for local info on a smartphone visited stores within five miles of home.
This year, Access released data that shows consumers stay even closer to home for the most frequent purchases, like gas, groceries, eating out and working out. For example, consumers travel, on average, only six minutes to fill up their cars and eight minutes to buy groceries. That correlates to roughly two to three miles away if traveling by car.
While consumers will travel farther for less frequent purchases like clothing or auto repair, 93 percent of all consumers typically travel 20 minutes or less for their general shopping needs. Urban consumers, who represent 83 percent of all shoppers, prefer even shorter distances, with 92 percent traveling 15 minutes or less. That is approximately a five-to-six-mile distance by car, or much less if by transit or walking.
Thus, local businesses must adjust their marketing reach to account for the small radius of their audience. However, that audience might include local residents, commuters who work nearby or out-of-town travelers. So remember that distance becomes relevant at the micro-moment when a need arises and isn't a static point for each individual.
According to Rand Fishkin at Moz, search on Google Images ranks second among all web properties behind Google.com and is performed more frequently than search on the remaining Top 10 web properties combined. Google images are searched more than 10 times as often as any search on Bing or Yahoo and almost 40 times the number of searches on Facebook.
Search on Google Images constitutes almost a third of all search on Google-branded products, ahead of Google Maps and YouTube.
Yet many businesses fail to optimize images uploaded to their websites for search, leading to many missed opportunities to generate sales or be found otherwise. Optimizing image labels, data, tags and descriptors helps Google better index graphics and images, leading to better ranking. Further, being mindful of how images contribute to a better user experience will increase clicks on the image during searches, which will, in turn, improve rank. Some UX factors to consider when uploading images include quality, load speed, viewability, context, authenticity and general appeal of the image.
Businesses that rely on visual cues should take special note including retail and consumer goods, professionals (profile pics), destinations and design.
The majority of consumer engagement with brands (85-95 percent) happens through local listings, local web pages or other local search results. Location is often discussed synonymously with local, so the use of location data in marketing is a good indicator of the emphasis placed on local. This year, 50 percent of brands are using location data to target consumers.
Brands are also spending more on location-based marketing. Twenty-five percent of leading brands' marketing budgets are spent on location-based marketing and projected to rise. In 2016, $12.4 billion was spent on location-targeted ad spending by US brands, and that figure is projected to rise to $32.4 billion by 2021, equivalent to 45 percent of all mobile ad revenue.
Those companies committed to the use of location marketing cite case studies that demonstrate the return of investing in local. Use of location in advertising provided up to a 27 percent lift in specific campaigns run by Wendy's.
While brands are understandably increasing spending on local marketing, neither the dollars spent nor the quality of marketing appears to reflect the importance of local. That 50 percent of brands are using location data for targeting still seems on the low end when we can see how consumers are universally engaging, shopping, researching and evaluating brand products and services on the local level.
It's even more surprising when comparing local search results for brands that prioritize location and those that don't. Fast food restaurants, hotels and convenience stores are just a few of the examples I found where some brands were featured prominently in search results, while others were markedly less visible or even completely omitted from local search results.
The latter examples were not simply poorly ranked — rather, they did not show up at all on Google Map search results. For the many consumers who search for local businesses exclusively on their mobile devices, businesses that don't show up on maps or search results might as well not exist at all.
One way brands fell short in using location data was by listing national corporate credentials and links instead of local ones for individual location listings or sites. And some brands failed to create or complete profiles for individual stores that were part of bundled retail locations. These mistakes reflect a lack of an overall strategy for making location a priority despite the importance of doing so.
Social media and consumer-generated content such as reviews are the new battlegrounds for business reputation and identity. Gone are the days when PR teams could operate in a relative vacuum and shape the perception of product quality or business image in a series of closely controlled campaigns.
Shared pictures and video can portray a reality that is impossible to refute, and a single consumer can capture the world's attention in real time through one tweet. Movements such as this year's #DeleteUber empowered hundreds of thousands of individuals to join together in a united voice. And reviews demand accountability from businesses in every aspect of consumer experience and engagement.
As such, reputation is much less an internally generated message broadcast to the masses and more a management of public discourse in trying to protect or uphold brand identity. Businesses need to understand this shift and adapt brand management with this in mind.
Technology has encroached into the advertising space in a variety of ways. Platforms such as social media and review sites created new ad inventory. Software products consolidate multiple media platforms into one-stop user interfaces. And programmatic ad services match ad buyers with ad sellers.
60 percent of SMBs prefer to work with a single SaaS tools provider.
62 percent of SMBs favor technology companies over media companies if they were to purchase services outside of a company's core product.
With more agency work being provided via online portals, and more technology companies offering marketing services, the numbers suggest that SMBs will shift that work away from traditional ad agencies.
In order to compete effectively, agencies need to keep up with the latest marketing innovations and demonstrate superior performance arising out of their core expertise.
As 2017 comes to a close and planning for next year's goals and budgets begins in earnest, it is prudent to remember to take time for reflection. I hope you've had a successful and rewarding 2017 and that taking a look at some important lessons learned this past year will help continue that success in the year to come.

How Much Wattage Do Wireless Surround Sound Kits Offer?
When using a wireless surround kit to connect a speaker or pair of speakers, you may wonder whether the wattage of the wireless receiver unit is comparable to the wattage that you would get if you hooked up the speaker directly to your AV receiver. This concern is understandable since you want to match the wattage of your rear speakers to the wattage of your front speakers. So when purchasing a wireless kit you want to pay special attention to the wattage rating of the receiver unit.

The Super Barbarian is a Super Troop based on the Barbarian. It can be unlocked by boosting the Barbarian when the Barbarian is at least level 8. Boosting the Barbarian requires 25,000 Dark Elixir or a Super Potion, and doing so allows the Barbarian to be boosted for 3 days.
How do I get a Super Troop? Well first, in order to train the all-new Super Troops, you need to be a Chief of a Town Hall 11 and up village. Simply click on the new Super Troop building near the Trader and it will give you the option to decide which Troop you want to super-ize.
Dragons are one of the strongest troops, with high HP and high DPS. They also deal small area splash damage (although this splash damage component is very powerful on defense versus a large number of weak troops like Archers). 10 Dragons will usually destroy a full TH7 village in about a minute and a half.
Here are the five best Super Troops in Clash of Clans….The current super troops available include:
Super Archer.
Sneaky Goblin.
Super Giant.
Super Wall Breaker.
Inferno Dragon.
Super Minion.
Super Valkyrie.
Super Witch.
The super wall breakers are absolutely worth it and the goblins are good for clan castle troops. I trade off between them. If you farm the goblins are also nice but I only really trophy push. In a few days, I will be fortunate to have a complete TH13.
When activating a Super Troop, you can continue to train its regular counterpart. Super Troops are not removed from the Army Camps when they expire.
Archer.
Baby Dragon.
Balloon.
Barbarian.
Electro Dragon.
Giant.
Goblin.
Super barbs have better stats per housing space than regular barbs. I liked them when I used them for barching, but now as I have tons of DE upgrades I'm not using them and really, don't miss them as much. They are cool and your attacks get really stronger mostly because they also come raged the first few seconds.
300 Barbarians
A max Barb King spawn 32 barbs. If they spawn 32x Super barbs,then thats 32*5=160 housing space worth of troops. It would break the balance of the game.
Once the Super buff has expired, the unused Super Troops will remain in your Barracks until they are used or donated. After the 7 days have passed, you will not be able to use the same Super Troop again for another 7 days.
Works in both villages!" Rings are a type of Magic Item that allows you to instantly upgrade Walls in the Home Village or Builder Base. Wall Rings can be used to replace Gold or Elixir used to upgrade the Walls….Rings Required to Upgrade.
Home Village Walls
Wall Rings Required
Army Organizational Elements
Squad Section (Cavalry) 4-10 Soldiers
Platoon 16-40 Soldiers in 2 or more Squads
Company Troop (Cavalry), Battery (Artillery) 100-200 Soldiers in 3-5 Platoons
Battalion Squadron (Cavalry) 4-6 Companies
It's troops – specifically, the use of that word as a stand-in for soldiers, Marines, airmen and sailors. Of course, a troop can also refer to a group of soldiers, boy or girl scouts, or a squadron. The problem is that this usage of troops is only possible in the plural. One cannot refer to a single soldier as a troop.
Troop came into the English language in the middle of the 16th century, with an initial meaning of "a group of soldiers." By the end of the 16th century the word had already taken on a number of additional meanings, including "a cavalry unit corresponding to an infantry company" and the collective sense of "armed …
A soldier is a person. In the news media, troops is used as a stand-in for "soldiers." Troop can refer to a group of soldiers, or Boy or Girl Scouts. But, conventionally, 1,000 troops is also used to mean 1,000 soldiers.
They are not soldiers. They are Marines. Marines are distinguished by their mission, their training, their history, their uniform and their esprit de corps. You would not call a sailor a soldier, an airman a soldier, and certainly you should not call a Marine a soldier.
3. Soldier. In the U.S., people not in the Army are not soldiers, especially so for Marines — who will strongly protest being painted with that brush. "Troops" or "service members" are the umbrella terms that refer to all the members of the military.
An airman is a member of an air force or air arm of a nation's armed forces. In certain air forces, it can also refer to a specific enlisted rank. He can also be referred as soldier in other definition. In civilian aviation usage, the term airman is analogous to the term sailor in nautical usage.
NASA as a civilian agency and Space Force as a branch of the military operate in the same domain of space, supporting America's national interests. NASA focuses on exploration, research and development for education, innovation, economic vitality, and stewardship of Earth.

WHO has updated its model lists of essential medicines and essential medicines for children, adding 20 medicines for adults and 17 for children, in addition to new uses for 28 previously mentioned medicines.
Among the new additions are long-acting insulin analogues, their biosimilars and oral drugs for diabetes, antimicrobials for bacterial and fungal infections, and treatments for cancer and smoking cessation.
The WHO recently updated its list of essential medicines.
The lists have been updated by an Expert Committee on the Selection and Use of Essential Medicines. Committee members reviewed 88 applications and then selected the most beneficial drugs that should be available and affordable to every patient. The updated lists mark the 21st edition of the list of drugs recommended for adults and the 7th edition for children.
The new essential drugs for diabetes include insulin degludec (Tresiba; Novo Nordisk), detemir (Levemir; Novo Nordisk), glargine (Toujeo; Sanofi) and their biosimilars, as well as human insulin and the SGLT2 inhibitors empagliflozin (Jardiance; Boehringer Ingelheim / Eli Lilly & Co.), canagliflozin (Invokana; Janssen) and dapagliflozin (Farxiga; AstraZeneca).
"Diabetes is on the rise worldwide and is accelerating in low- and middle-income countries," WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, PhD, MSc, according to a WHO press release. "Too many people who need insulin are experiencing financial difficulties accessing or going without insulin and lose their lives. The inclusion of insulin analogues in the list of essential medicines, coupled with efforts to ensure affordable access to all insulin products and expand the use of biosimilars, is an essential step to ensure that everyone who needs this life-saving product has access to it."
Essential drugs for various cancers include enzalutamide (Xtandi; Astellas, Pfizer), everolimus (Afinitor, Novartis), ibrutinib (Imbruvica; Janssen, Pharmacyclics), and rasburicase (Elitek; Sanofi). Other cancer treatments were not recommended, according to the release, due to high prices, uncertain benefits, or management issues in a resource-poor environment.
For infectious diseases, the WHO has recommended cefiderocol, echinocandin antifungals and monoclonal antibodies for the prevention of rabies. These are the first monoclonal antibodies to be added to the Model Lists for an infectious disease, the WHO said.
Also, two non-nicotine-based drugs – bupropion and varenicline – were added as nicotine replacement therapies for smoking cessation.
A total of 479 drugs for adults and 350 drugs for children are now considered essential to meet public health needs, according to the release. The lists are updated every 2 years.

UK: Conergy to build 40 MW of PV plants, further 50 MW in pipeline
Conergy teams up with U.K. partner Camborne Energy to sell 40 MW of solar farms to investors, while also securing full EPC rights for 90 MW project pipeline.
November 25, 2013 Ian Clover
Global PV company Conergy's U.K. arm – in partnership with Camborne Energy – has recently secured the sale of 40 MW of solar projects to a Primrose Solar.
The 40 MW of solar power plants are ready to be built, with Conergy also overseeing an additional 50 MW solar project pipeline. Primrose Solar is backed by York Capital Management and Pioneer Point Partners LLP, and has agreed to purchase the five solar power plants, which have a combined capacity total of 40 MW.
Conergy will act as the general contractor for the plants, overseeing all EPC services for the initial five plants and the additional 50 MW in the pipeline. A PPA for the plants has been set up at a rate some 33% below the average U.K. retail price for electricity.
Three of the solar plants will be constructed in the county of Dorset in southern England, while the other will be built near the coastal resort town of Great Yarmouth in the east of England. Together, the solar farms will produce approximately 38,100 MWh of solar electricity per year, producing enough clean power to supply 11,500 local homes annually.
"This is the largest order Conergy has ever secured in the U.K., and it is just the start," said Conergy Europe COO and CEO, Alexander Gorski. "With Conergy's new owner Kawa, we are stronger than ever. Our solid balance sheet enables us to grow our share in the development business and provide financing solutions for solar projects – with operations and maintenance support offered as well.
"We continue to see strong demand for solar farm development and construction in the U.K. and other European countries, as well as opportunities to increase these activities in the high-growth Asian and American markets. Conergy has expansion plans for all of these regions."

Ian also reported on the UK solar market, having worked as a print and web journalist in Britain for various multimedia companies, covering topics ranging from renewable energy and sustainability to real estate, sport and film.

This Fallout New Vegas Horror Mod Brings Hell On Earth, Heavily Inspired By Silent Hill
by Liana Ruppert on Oct 16, 2020 at 12:15 PM
With Halloween just around the corner, there are tons of horror games to enjoy! That being said, mods are a neat way to return to an older favorite and experience something brand new! Since Mod Corner is all about recommending some of our favorite fan-made projects, we wanted to share yet another way to ring in the holiday of fright with this awesome Fallout: New Vegas horror mod.
The Hell on Earth Fallout: New Vegas mod makes core changes to make this experience more inline with a horror survival title. It's also customizable, so it suits any type of playstyle. That customization is also helpful in case this mod happens to conflict with another installed change, making it easy to swap out and make sure everything is working as it should.
This fan-made experience adds a brand-new area by making nightmare versions of the explorable towns. The creator also says they were heavily inspired by Silent Hill, the iconic franchise from Konami, when creating this particular adventure.
Some areas are blocked off in the "normal" world and suddenly available to explore in this nightmare version. Not quite to the extent of The Medium's duality, but it does have the same idea of two versions of reality, one infinitely more terrifying.
The creator even included a backstory for the Hell on Earth mod, though be warned: It's not lore friendly and it's not meant to be, this is a fan-inspired project. According to the creator:
In 2077, the government was experimenting with interdimensional travel. Hoping to travel to another dimension in which they could use the resources there, they opened a gateway to a universe that mirrored our own in which everything was the same ... but also, different.
This Otherworld, or "Nightmare World," was built the same as ours; the same countries, the same buildings, but it was evil, pure evil. Once opened, creatures from nightmares began to pour through. In a last ditch attempt to reverse the effects, a spec ops team headed into the facility and closed the portal ... or so they thought. Instead, our world began to merge with this Otherworld and random shifts between the two began to occur, people all over the world began to disappear.
A strange, thick fog fell upon the world, radio and communications failed and military bases and checkpoints lost contact. Soon, entire countries fell under the strain of the creatures emerging and small groups of people banded together, gathering weapons and food they tried to hold on to. Yet, people continued to disappear.
The Hell on Earth mod is a present-day experience based on the lore revealed above, and honestly? It's amazing. Keep in mind, this is an older mod. Mod corner doesn't necessarily mean the newest additions, sometimes they are old favorites that may be new to some! It's been two years since I've used this one personally, but it is absolutely one of my favorites when looking for a scarier spin on a beloved RPG.
You can download this mod right here.

Jèrriais lessons in primary schools
Jèrriais in primary schools
A great deal of progress has been made in the teaching of Jèrriais over the past five years and now the Jèrriais Teaching Service wants to build on that momentum and move closer to what is ultimately our primary objective to create new speakers of Jèrriais.
Therefore, in 2021 the Jèrriais Teaching Service launched a new pilot programme in primary schools.
Flagship School
We are delighted that Plat Douet School agreed to host an intensive Jèrriais pilot programme. It is recognised that multilingualism is linked to greater cognitive outcomes and Plat Douet celebrates a diversity of languages spoken by the children attending the school.
Since September 2021 one specialist early years teacher has been working in the Foundation Stage with multilingual learners as well as those children needing support with communication, speech and language development.
This same teacher teaches Jèrriais further up the school, and children in Years 2 to 6 receive weekly half-hour Jèrriais lessons.
Hub Schools
The Jèrriais Teaching Service carried out a pilot cross-curricular Jèrriais themed course across five Hub Schools in the summer of 2021. The course entitled Alentou d'Jèrri (Around Jersey) took place in the afternoons in key stage 2 and, as well as Jèrriais language content, incorporated other aspects of the Jersey Curriculum, including Jersey history and geography, drama, music, art and PE.
Pilot expansion
The pilot was so successful that a second course Jèrri Dêmuchi (Jersey Uncovered) was developed and both are now being rolled out to other primary schools across the island. So far, as well as the five hub schools, children at St John, La Moye, Trinity, Les Landes, De La Salle, Mont Nicolle, JC Prep, Grouville and St Luke's have also had access to this popular programme.
Pallions
The pandemic has prevented the Pallions from operating as originally planned. It was envisaged that each of the Hub Schools would host weekly Pallions that served children from the surrounding area. However, the need for bubbles made this unworkable.
Therefore, in June 2021 Pallions were set up in the five Hub Schools but only for children attending those schools. In the meantime, more Pallions have been running in other schools listed below. This programme will be amended and expanded as Covid restrictions allow.
Lessons are fun, using games-based activities that aim to introduce the language to new learners as well as consolidate the learning of children participating in the cross-curricular project in schools.
Children who attend these Pallions have the opportunity to participate in the Jèrriais Section of the Jersey Eisteddfod.
Pallion times and locations
JC Prep Monday 12.00pm - 12.30pm
St Mary Monday 3.15pm - 4.00pm
Plat Douet Tuesday 3.15pm - 4.00pm
Beaulieu Tuesday 3.15pm - 4.00pm
St Martin Wednesday 3.00pm - 3.45pm
Springfield Wednesday 3.00pm - 3.45pm
D'Auvergne Thursday 12.00pm - 1.00pm
St Lawrence Thursday 3.15pm - 4.00pm
Bel Royal Thursday 3.30pm - 4.15pm

Durant preferred carriages, but took another road and changed history.
Not long before he died, John Lennon wrote a song that popularized (although it did not originate) a much-quoted truth: "Life is what happens to you while you're making other plans." I know I'm far from alone in being able to say unequivocally that in my youth I never imagined what the next forty years of my life would be like. I hope I also have lots of company in feeling no real doubts about where I've ended up.
I'm reminded of yet a third quote, from one of my favorite movies, Chariots of Fire. It's the (mostly) true story of Eric Liddell, who refused to compete in the Olympic race that would require him to run on Sunday, a day he held sacred. In the film, despite pressure from friends, coaches and even the Prince of Wales, Liddell remains steadfast to his principles even when it means sacrificing the opportunity of a lifetime.
If you've seen the film, you know that Eric Liddell went on to run in a different event for which he had not trained, and he won the gold. He also set a new world record; an astounding feat, under the circumstances. But today he is most remembered for holding firm to his beliefs. The loss of one dream became the now-legendary fulfillment of another.
Sometimes we choose our calling, but often, our calling chooses us, and we may fight it, thinking we have better ideas. But some of the greatest achievements have come from people who started out with other plans. Matt has a page-a-day history calendar with an interesting tale each day, usually about lesser-known aspects of famous people, places or events. I was fascinated to read just recently that General Motors was begun by a man who didn't like cars. William Durant was a high-school dropout who found success manufacturing horse-drawn carriages, but it was his applications of lessons learned there to a different pursuit that would change history.
It's a familiar pattern. Babe Ruth was a record-setting pitcher long before he left full time pitching at the age of 22 and became the legendary home run king. Walt Disney was fired from the Kansas City Star newspaper for not being creative enough. Fred Rogers was an ordained minister who went into television programming because he didn't like television, and decided to try making a difference there.
It's a good thing to have plans, hopes and dreams. It's also a good thing to be open to the possibility that your destiny may be something you never wanted or expected…and it may take you to a future that's beyond anything you can now imagine. I wish you few regrets in life, but whether or not there are regrets, I pray you will one day look back and feel no doubts that you did what you were called to do.
Wow Judy, that's a great quote! Thanks for sharing it. In all the thousands of quotes I have read over the past year as I've been putting these blog posts together, I have never come across that one. And it's so true. You're right, the address book is a very appropriate place for that quote. Oddly, writing fiction is like that too, at least for some of us. We sit down planning to write a certain story, but if our characters become real enough to us in our own minds, they start doing things we might not have planned. Jeff finds this hard to believe. "It's your story, you can write it however you want." I tried to explain to him that Dickens could not have made Bob Crachit an ax murderer even if he'd wanted to. Bob Cratchit just didn't have it in him. We could create characters who will do what we want (rather like robots) but most of us get lost in the story, I think, and follow where it leads. Life is like that too.
Amazing reflection as I look back on my late life calling of the last 27 years.
Just added proof that 'life is what happens when you think you have other plans'.
Harry, I'm so happy that you are able to have no regrets. That is one true definition of success, isn't it?
Good morning, Julia. Hope you enjoyed a restful night.
Dear dear sister, this is probably your most uplifting and inspiring post to date! Which is saying a lot, by the way. Thank you! "See you" tomorrow!!!
Carla, I'm so glad you like it! I find it interesting to study the lives of famous people; so often, their stories are revealing and encouraging. Thanks for being here and I'll look forward to "seeing" you tomorrow!
I am very happy with what I have done with my life and the way it is now. I am a wife , mother , mimi, and I have many friends and I'm a Christian most of all. Sometimes it scares me to think, what if I had taking the other road, so proud that I did't. Love to all.
Carolyn, it is wonderful to hear you say this after all you have been through during the past year. A lot of people would be feeling sorry for themselves and asking "why me" but you are kicking cancer in the bum simply by refusing to let it define you! Thanks for your shining example which is a daily encouragement to us. Love to you too!
That photo – what a lovely composition!
Bindu, this is an interesting story, as I don't know of any family that large that has only one teacher in the midst! In our combined family, there are several teachers. So you truly are unique in where you have ended up, and something tells me that your parents and their generation are (or would be) well pleased to have at least one family member to carry on the academic tradition.
When I was growing up in the 60's, much was made of being an individual and "marching to the beat of one's own drummer." I never wanted that; I wanted only to belong, to be liked, to be part of the crowd. Instead, to my deep disappointment, I found that the more I tried to fit in, the more I felt like a misfit. And it wasn't just my imagination; I was too often ridiculed and excluded to be mistaken. This struck me, even then, as more than a little bit ironic. Everyone who was proclaiming "do your own thing" was actually joining a mass movement of individuals who were mostly behaving the same way, while I, who wanted only to belong, was on the outside looking in, different without wanting to be so. So this business of being unique is paradoxical indeed!
Somewhere during those years I came across a quote that has stuck with me in all the decades since: "How glorious it is – and also how painful – to be an exception." (Alfred de Musset). I gradually realized that there was nothing to be done about my strangeness except to embrace it, to whatever degree I was capable. But it's been a process, and an arduous one at that. All this to say, being unique is sometimes over-rated! But you have achieved that in the best possible way; by realizing that what seems ordinary on the surface, is anything but common, and is indeed a gift! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts here! I always enjoy hearing from you.
My life took the most interesting of turns in my early 30's when, after a failed attempt to become a titan of the entrepreneurial world, I ended up working again for my first boss right out of college. I had a new family and was desperate for a job, a job of any kind that would pay the bills and provide a little hope. Fifteen years later, we had been acquired twice, first by a Dutch company, then by a Fortune 500 company; I had quite by accident (Providence really) been the beneficiary of the company's good fortunes and as an additional blessing, had circled the globe many, many times. All of this because I had made an impetuous, careless decision that almost wrecked everything I held dear in life. We plan, God laughs, and in the end, fate has a delightful way of revealing cards we never thought we'd held.
Thanks for sharing that happy ending! Maybe this means it's really true that we all worry far too much. It's always reassuring to be reminded that things really do have a way of turning out for the best. I appreciate your visits here, and your comments!
Augh you made me give it away: I planned to talk about Eric L, a hero of mine, in the current series on GREATNESS. I hope your own dreams have seen light.
Thank you so much! I really need to get back over to your blog; I enjoy reading what you write. I'll look forward to reading your posts about Eric, who is also a hero of mine. His life after the Olympics is even more inspiring! Have you read some of the eyewitness accounts of his bravery in the wartime concentration camps, where he chose to stay with his fellow believers? Truly a man worth honoring. Thanks for your comments!
I plan to mention him in an upcoming post. He had such a beautiful spirit – even (esp) in the camps. I have not forgotten the essay you last told me about. When I get a breather, I plan to procure it.
Since you say you'd like to pop on back, I think the Missing Woman and the Smarts posts might speak to you, J.
WOW, I need to do more than "pop on back" — I need to set aside quite a few hours to read more, more, more of your stuff! I did love the posts you mention. The Missing Woman post resonated with me, as I imagine you knew it would. But the second one was astoundingly well written and profound. I shared it on Facebook alongside the video I posted of the interview with the equally thought-provoking and readable Malcolm Gladwell. What you have written in that post has been proven true for me by my nearly 30 years of rearing sons whom most would see as residing on opposite ends of the "ability" spectrum (and the words about intermittent reinforcement are sorely needed; it's a common-sense concept that seems lacking, for reasons I've never been able to understand). I am flattered that you are reading this blog at all – and thanks so much for your comments!
Thank you! It's a thought that is comforting to carry into the uncertain future. I appreciate your visits here, and your comments!
It said a lot true to very wording.
So true, and although we don't always like God's omnipotence, we eventually learn to see that it works for our benefit. Thanks for being here!
Gee, I'm not sure if my 'un-written' plan is going as I anticipated or not? If you asked girlfriends in my teens, "who'll be married with children and who'll be a career girl?" They most likely would have pointed at me for the former. It didn't work out that way for many reasons and people I haven't seen in years are sometimes surprised. I feel like I'm living a life authentic to me but sometimes I wonder, "so, is this it?" If there are more surprises down the road, I hope I manage them well but you never know what's around the next corner.
Same here, although in the opposite direction. In college a group of my girlfriends made predictions as to who would marry first/last. I was predicted to marry last of all, and in reality I ended up marrying first, even before the one person among us who was already wearing a diamond. Life is funny! And yes, full of surprises no matter how old we get. I think all of us wonder at some time or other "is this it?" but that's part of the process, it seems.

Ratnagiri to get gas at $5.93/mmbtu from Petronet LNG
Finally, there seems to be some good news for power-starved Maharashtra. Petronet LNG Ltd will supply 1.5 million tonne of gas from July 1 to Ratnagiri Gas & Power Pvt Ltd (RGPPL), for operating two units of 740 mw each. The gas supply will continue till September 2009. Petronet?s commitment comes in the wake of GAIL (India)?s assurance that the Dahej-Uran gas pipeline would be ready for commercial operation by June end.
Petronet will receive gas at Dahej for $4.83 per million British thermal unit (mmbtu) and will supply the same to Ratnagiri Power at $5.93 per mmbtu. ?We have already made a commitment to supply up to 1.5 million tonne of gas to Ratnagiri Power Ltd, which will help in generating 1,400 mw of power. RGPPL has indicated that it will be able to revive the third unit of 740 mw during December 2007-March 2008, and hence, we have assured to source.6 million tonne of gas also for the same. The price of which will be determined later. RGPPL will be in a position to generate 2,100 mw on 2.1 million tonne of gas,? P Dasgupta, managing director & CEO, Petronet LNG, said.
Dasgupta was speaking to FE on the sidelines of GCC-India investment conference here on Tuesday. He said the gas has already reached Dahej. Now everything depends on the completion of the Dahej-Uran pipeline by GAIL (India), he said.
Petronet LNG has agreed to supply gas up to September 2009 after receiving an indication from RGPPL that the LNG terminal would be fully ready for commercial operation by September. It must be mentioned that the petroleum ministry had indicated at the last meeting of the empowered group of ministers that it would ask Petronet LNG to source and supply .6 million tonne to Ratnagiri Power Ltd so that its requirement of 2.1 million tonne per annum is met. A delegation led by petroleum minister Murli Deora visited several countries on the long-term supply of gas, and the contract is expected to be finalised with Algeria starting 2011. In the intervening period of 18 months, spot procurement of LNG may have to be done for Ratnagiri Power.

Ancient Civilization Named 'Ant People' Saved Native Americans From World Apocalypse Twice
The Hopi Indians are a Native American tribe that has been living in Arizona for thousands of years. The place is famous for the Grand Canyon, a beautiful desert area. According to the Hopi legends, the Gods directed them there and built stone apartment complexes.
What Happened To Ancient Civilization That lived On Venus Billion Years Ago
Oldest Library That Hides Knowledge Of Ancient Civilization Discovered, But Nobody Knows Its Exact Location
Hopi Indian girl
From the ancient Hopi, there are several stone complexes, the so-called pueblo. Near their houses, the Hopi grew corn, beans, and pumpkins on the dry, rocky ground. The Hopi language is similar to the Aztec language.
Among the researchers of anomalous phenomena, the Hopi are known primarily for their stone tablets, which supposedly contain predictions of the future. However, there are many interesting things in the Hopi culture besides these tablets.
According to the Hopi legends, the Ant People save them twice
One of the most intriguing Hopi legends is about the Ant People, who saved the Hopi people twice during the fire, volcanic eruption, asteroid strike, ice-age, or a strong coronal ejection from the Sun.
During these two devastating events, the Ant People civilization hid the Hopi people in their underground caves and provided them with food and water.
These legends portray the Ant People as generous and hardworking, who also taught the Hopi the secrets of storing food for a long time without spoiling.
On ancient petroglyphs all over the world, and in particular on this one from North Africa, one can often find images of unusual creatures with antennae or horns on their heads. Many people believe that the creaturs in the image are shamans, but could they be images of insect-like people?
Ancient petroglyph from North Africa shows images of unusual creatures with antennae or horns on their heads
The Ant People and ordinary ants (insects) have some kind of connection with the constellation Orion. This constellation is most clearly visible in winter, when ants are hibernating. And in February, when it is the brightest in the sky, the Hopi perform a sacred dance ceremony called Powamû in the ceremonial dwelling of the kiva.
The ceremony is dedicated to a god named Anu Sinom, who long ago taught the Hopi how to grow beans and saved them from hunger. At the same time, there is an interesting coincidence with the fact that there is a Babylonian god with the same name Anu, and that the "ant" in the Hopi language is also "Anu."
And the phrase "anu-naki", which is translated from the Hopi language as "ants friend", is surprisingly similar to the Sumerian word "Annunaki", which means creatures that came to Earth from heaven.
Ant People were probably known in ancient Egypt as well. In any case, some researchers of anomalous phenomena believe that the unusually narrow and elongated head of Pharaoh Akhenaten, whose shape is strange even for Ancient Egypt, is similar to the head of an ant.
Ancient Hopi petroglyph, probably depicting Ant people, on a rock in Arizona/ Source: Ancient Origins
And his skinny arms and large thighs still puzzle many scientists. Some people think that Akhenaten was a hermaphrodite, others believe that he was an alien.
But maybe he was a representative of the Ant People?
And one more fact, which may be a coincidence, or perhaps an ancient connection. The Egyptian word "Sahu" means "Orion Stars," and in the Hopi language, the same word "Sahu" also means "Star". And the most important star for the Hopi was the star of the constellation Orion.
For some researchers, the national female hairstyle of the Hopi Indians is also a connection with the Ant People, as it may resemble the antennae of ants.

Profiled on TED Rick Smolan is an acclaimed photographer who is the co-creator of the America at Home project, which captured the "emotions of home" across the United States during a week in September 2008. More than 20,000 photographers — pros and amateurs — sent images to a team of editors assembled by Smolan and partner Jennifer Erwitt, who turned the photos into an eye-popping book. It's become a best-seller, of course, helped along by the fact that buyers can choose their own image for the cover.
Smolan has long been a force for exploring culture through photography. The Day in the Life photography series that he cofounded — best-selling photo books that captured life in America, Australia, the Soviet Union … — were an '80s cultural phenomenon. (Rare was the coffee table without at least one of them.) In the 1990s his production company, Against All Odds, investigated the storytelling powers of interactive CD-ROMs with From Alice to Ocean, a narrative of a cross-Australia trek, and Passage to Vietnam, exploring that country as it opened up in the early 1990s. 24 Hours in Cyberspace took a snapshot of the booming industry in 1996, and One Digital Day in 1997 further explored our fascination with tech.
Smolan's latest work is The Obama Time Capsule, a collection of photographs and insights capturing the historical election of President Barack Obama, from the beginning of his campaign to his first 100 days in office.

Bangladesh government raises fuel price by 50 percent
DHAKA, Bangladesh: Bangladesh raised fuel prices by some 50 percent this week, which is aimed at reducing the country's subsidy burden, but could further stoke inflation, which is already at above 7 percent.
Surging energy and food prices caused by the Russia-Ukraine war have inflated the south Asian country's import bill, forcing the government to ask for loans from the the International Monetary Fund and other global agencies.
In a statement, the power, energy and mineral resources ministry said gas prices in the country increased by 51.2 percent, 95-octane gasoline by 51.7 percent, and diesel and kerosene by 42.5 percent.
The ministry added that the fuel price increase was inevitable, given global market conditions, noting that state-run Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation lost more than $85 million on oil sales in the six months ending in July.
Meanwhile, Nasrul Hamid, state minister for power, energy and mineral resources, told reporters, "The new prices will not seem tolerable to everyone. But we had no other choice. People have to be patient."
However, opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said the hike would have a negative effect on the economy.
"We are already struggling to make ends meet. Now that the government has raised fuel prices, how will we survive?" asked Mizanur Rahman, a private sector employee, as quoted by Reuters.
With worries of a recession sparked by fuel demand, global oil prices have eased from their highs in recent weeks, and closed at their lowest levels since February.
To counter dwindling foreign exchange reserves, the Bangladeshi government has adopted a series of measures, including restricting fuel imports, liquefied natural gas, and closing diesel-run power plants, as it again faces recurring power outages.
As of 3rd August, the country's foreign exchange reserves stood at $39.67 billion, which covers only about five months of imports, though it has decreased from $45.89 billion one year earlier.

How COVID affected markets and livelihoods in Kenya's fisheries sector
By Mbaru Emmanuel & Jacqueline Lau & Sarah Ruth Sutcliffe - The Conversation
JAN 13, 2022 LISTEN

Fisheries support the livelihoods and well-being of millions of people around the world. Before the COVID pandemic, global fisheries production had reached a record high . Fast forward to 2021, and the pandemic has greatly altered the fisheries sector – increasing vulnerability and exposing weaknesses in fisheries food systems at both local and international levels.
The Kenyan coastal fishery supports more than 23,000 fishers catching over 16,000 tonnes of fish annually . The fishery is considered a key sector, providing monetary income and animal protein to about 70% of the coastal communities.
In our recent study , we set out to assess the impact of COVID-19 on Kenyan fisheries, and hear what fishers and traders did to cope. We interviewed people in five coastal communities to find out about COVID-19 impacts on markets, livelihoods, food security and well-being, and what they did in response.
We found fishers, fish traders and coastal communities faced severe livelihood and food security challenges as a result of the pandemic. The biggest impact came from the restrictions on movement mandated by the Kenyan government. Our findings highlight the severe effects pandemic measures had on households and communities, and offer lessons as the pandemic continues to unfold.
Restrictions imposed
The Kenyan government introduced over 120 policies to contain COVID-19 . These included curfews and bans on travel and public gatherings. Restrictions were imposed between March 2020 and November 2021.
In all five study sites, communities were subject to various social distancing rules, movement restrictions and curfews. Limited numbers of people were allowed in boats and vehicles and people were told to minimise non-essential interactions. There were social distancing requirements in markets and stores, and reduced market and shop opening hours. Community gatherings were banned. Traders and transporters, especially, faced challenges such as accessing markets and long waits for East African cross-border trade.
We found that COVID-19 severely affected food security in all communities, though some people fared worse than others. All households told us they ate less (reducing meal sizes or skipping meals altogether), and ate less well (consuming less meat and vegetables and primarily consuming staple carbohydrates such as ugali (cornmeal).
Although foods were available in shops, their loss of income meant they couldn't afford to buy. Before the pandemic, fishers average income per day was about US$9. This decreased substantially to about US$4 during the pandemic because fishers spent less time fishing. Several people had lost jobs, or knew people who had.
The overall demand for fish sharply reduced by more than 50% and prices fell for many species, particularly those that are important for the hotel, restaurant and catering industries. The drop in demand, and in some cases big price drops of fish and fish products, put a halt to or reduced the activity for many fishing fleets; their work became unprofitable. Fishers were also constrained when suppliers of industry inputs like ice, gear and bait closed, or stopped providing credit.
COVID also disrupted communication and connections with other fishers, traders, and customers. It greatly disrupted local market dynamics at landing sites, within the communities, and connections to more distant markets.
In some communities, people who had lost informal work – for instance in the tourism sector hit by COVID – turned to fishing. With changing numbers and abnormal markets, fishing and fish trade became very uncertain.
There is still uncertainty about the duration and severity of the pandemic, but a prolonged market downturn can be expected even after current restrictions are lifted or relaxed.
Government interventions and coping strategies
To cushion vulnerable communities, such as those involved in fishing and fish processing, the government of Kenya provided direct financial assistance including cash stipends via mobile funds transfer, relief food, and tax relief . However, many people we talked to in the five communities had very different experiences in receiving aid and support.
Some traders received a small portion of aid in the form of food. Some community leaders were involved in organising donations from other community organisations to deliver a one-off food aid package to fishers that included maize flour, beans, sugar, and soap. For others, there were delays, confusion or absence of support. Several people said that that while they had heard talk of government or other support, they had not received aid, even after registering.
Most households coped with the shocks of COVID-19 by decreasing the variety and quality of food they ate to conserve money. People stopped buying in bulk, used up existing savings, borrowed money (when there was still enough money in the community for people to lend), or swapped fish for goods directly. None of the strategies could be sustained in the long term.
Next steps for policymakers
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the fisheries sector was considered one of the fastest-growing sectors . During COVID-19, the Kenyan economy shed an estimated US$1.6 million in GDP contribution (down by 28.6%), and lost up to seven thousand industry jobs compared to 2019 levels. The COVID-19 pandemic, and efforts to curtail it, has been devastating to the fishing industry.
Our study highlights how each stage of the fisheries supply chain -— from catch, to trade, to consumption -— is susceptible to disruptions from COVID-19. Only by protecting each stage of the supply chain can human consumption of fish and fish products be achieved. Rules that disrupt fisheries livelihoods ought to be coupled with measures to support communities (such as food support). And they should reach people in a timely manner and be easy to access.
Treating small-scale fisheries as essential services (like exempting them from curfew), and facilitating ways of communicating and trading that do not involve large gatherings, will help support fisheries livelihoods.
Kenya's domestic fisheries sector, much like the global fisheries industry, faces a multifaceted challenge. Multiple stakeholders need to be involved in the fisheries recovery process, including national governments. There is a need to harness financial, human and technical resources to support fisheries recovery, and at the same time to efficiently roll out vaccination programmes and responsibly reopen the economy to domestic and international markets.

Q: try to display htmltag string in extjs pie chart legend text before

after

my code link (for refrence):
https://fiddle.sencha.com/#fiddle/d32

A: Use < and > to display < and > symbols respectively in the html page.
 var store = Ext.create('Ext.data.JsonStore', {
        fields: ['name', 'data'],
        data: [{
            'name': '<test>',
            'data': 10
        }, {
            'name': 'metric two',
            'data': 7
        }, {
            'name': '<metric three>',
            'data': 5
        }, {
            'name': 'metric four',
            'data': 2
        }, {
            'name': 'metric five',
            'data': 27
        }]
    });

This is simple HTML fix. ExtJS does not have anything to do with this. What ExtJS does in displaying the lengend is, ExtJS takes the value in the 'name' attribute of the store-->data part and embeds it to the HTML span tag as,
['
', '<tpl for=".">', '
', '', '{name}', '
', '</tpl>', '
']

see here
You might also want to take a look over entity characters in html

A: You will have to do html encoding of data before binding it to the store.  Try this.
var holdData = [{
    'name': '<test>',
    'data': 10
 }, {
    'name': 'metric two',
    'data': 7
 }, {
   'name': '<metric three>',
   'data': 5
 }, {
   'name': 'metric four',
   'data': 2
 }, {
   'name': 'metric five',
   'data': 27
}];

holdData.map(function(d){ d.name=Ext.util.Format.htmlEncode(d.name); return d; });

var store = Ext.create('Ext.data.JsonStore', {
   fields: ['name', 'data'],
   data: holdData
});

Q: Panel inside a Panel what i'm trying to do is a panel inside a panel without padding.

when i write in the developer-mode
  .sapUiPanelCont
  {
  padding. 0px !important;
  }

my panel has no padding anymore. that's exactly what i need.
how to override this class with an own name? so others panel got the normal sapUiPanelCont and when i add this class to my control, everything is working like charms.
i've added my styleClass like shown below:
 control.addStyleClass("exampleClass");

A: Your CSS selector has to be more specific than the default .sapUiPanelCont one.
The most specific selector 'wins'.
So you could try to use the selector .sapUiPanelCont.exampleClass and omit the !important flag:
.sapUiPanelCont.exampleClass
{
  padding: 0px;
}

You can add the style to a new .css file and reference it in your component metadata/descriptor. See Table 4 of documentation.
...
"sap.ui5": {
    "resources":{ //relative urls inside component
        "css": [{
            "uri": "myStyles.css"
        }]
    },
 ...

With that the myStyles.css will be added to the html document once as soon as your component is loaded.
Alternatively, if you are using XMLViews, you can inline the styles into the view:
<mvc:View controllerName="whatever" xmlns="sap.ui.commons" xmlns:mvc="sap.ui.core.mvc"
           xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
   <html:style>
     .sapUiPanelCont.exampleClass
     {
       padding: 0px;
     }
   </html:style>
   <Panel class="exampleClass" text="Outer Panel">
      <Panel text="Inner Panel">
      </Panel>
   </Panel>
</mvc:View>

A: You have the most current stable driver version - mesa 8.0 is part of the latest stable graphics stack, so probably your Intel driver version is 2.17. Upgrading the driver usually involves upgrading the entire stack, from the kernel to the X server. Driver-only upgrades are possible, but you don't get the full benefits of the upgrade since some improvements depend on changes to a different part of the stack.
First of all, I would discourage upgrading if there is no good reason to do so. Your driver version is current, so you may want to double-check with this person in the forum in case they made a mistake or meant something else. There are very good reasons why each Ubuntu release sticks to a given version of its packages instead of constantly releasing them in the archives, the relevant point being that you get a new well-tested software stack every 6 months, which in my opinion strikes excellent balance between stability and how long you have to wait for new software versions.
Now if you are absolutely sure you want to upgrade your graphics stack, visit:

*

*This PPA which will upgrade your driver, bringing your Intel driver from the 2.17 version in precise to 2.19

*The xorg-edgers PPA which will upgrade your entire graphics stack, including the 2.19 Intel driver, plus mesa 8.1, linux 3.5 and a large number of other packages

More importantly, be aware of the following:

*

*PPAs can be uninstalled with ppa-purge

*If your installation is 64-bit, bear in mind that ppa-purge does not get along well with precise's multiarch (see note at top of xorg-edgers PPA, which states the situation a bit more dramatically), and the uninstallation of a PPA may force you to uninstall a bunch of unrelated i386 packages


This is a composite list of scheduled NP passenger and freight trains. The passenger trains operated by the NP in 1930 were compiled by John F. Strauss, Jr. and the freight train data comes from the NP Train Brief book issued June 23, 1969. Train numbers changed very little from the start of passenger service, but trains were added and removed from service from time to time. However, the Seattle to Portland mainline direction changed from west to east in 1932, changing affected train numbers.
Passenger Seattle – St. Louis Billings and Butte Mississippi Valley Express handled by CB&Q from Billings to St. Louis.
Passenger Portland – Seattle Tacoma Note: Direction of travel on the Seattle - Portland line changed from north = east to south = east in 1932.
Passenger South Bend – Chehalis Jct. Chehalis Motor Car Continues on to Centralia as 595 at Chehalis Jct.
Passenger South Bend – Chehalis Jct. Chehalis Motor Car Continues on to Centralia as 597 at Chehalis Jct.

I watched the show with my family, friends and a bunch of locals I've known forever at Pancho's & Lefty's, a lakefront restaurant in the heart of Grand Lake. I want to thank the owner Bob King for organizing the viewing, and to everyone there who laughed in all the right places and helped me overcome my jitters (does my voice really sound like that?). I also want to thank Samantha Miller, the Director of the Grand Lake Area Chamber of Commerce. She did a great job getting the word out to their massive list of past and potential visitors, and she was there for the viewing. Only later did I learn she was secretly getting married later that evening. Talk about dedication!
Lance Gutersohn, my boss at RE/MAX Peak to Peak, couldn't have been more supportive. He understands how introverted I am, and he encouraged me to go beyond my comfort zone. I'm really glad I did. Bob and Lisa, my clients and the Florida couple who were featured on the show, were such fun to work with. I think their enthusiasm about Grand Lake made others yearn for the same dream of living here, or at least coming here on vacation. They're going to be a great addition to our community. And, I want to thank my husband Jeff. He's always there for me.
In case you missed it, or if you want to see the show again, I'm working to get it posted on my website and it should be available in the next few weeks. In the meantime, there's a few ways you can view it. You can contact me and I'll provide you with a link. Or, if you have cable, you should be able to view past episodes on the HGTV channel (Season 3, Episode 9). You can also purchase the episode for $2.99 on Amazon.com by going to Amazon. They list it as Volume 4, Episode 9. To all my past and possibly future clients, please send me an e-mail and I will make sure that you can view the episode!
The first signs of spring have finally appeared (at 8,269' altitude, it takes until now) and the road through the Rocky Mountain National Park, Trail Ridge Road, is projected to be open by Memorial Day weekend. Get ready everyone, the tourists and summer residents will soon arrive. The HGTV show exposed a lot of potential visitors and homeowners to Grand Lake, and I know it's going to be a great summer for our town.
