We perform all of our surgical procedures in the office under local anesthesia. More extensive surgical procedures are referred to the appropriate specialist, depending on the condition.
We perform shave removal in addition to excision when appropriate for that particular lesion. This less invasive procedure is often preferred.
A changing mole is probably one of the most common reasons for urgent appointments to the office. Skin self-examinations on a regular basis are recommended as up to 50% of skin cancers are found by the individual.
We can treat most skin cancers in our office. Treatment options will discussed, and fortunately there are now non-surgical options that offer similar cure rates with less disfigurement. We will also discuss strategies to prevent new skin cancers moving forward. As an example, studies have shown up to 40% of individuals with basal cell carcinoma will develop a new skin cancer within 5 years.
This technique is commonly used for treatment of benign lesions, as it is typically non-scarring.
This technique employs a fine wire to transmit heat through a cautery unit to remove skin tags, broken blood vessels, and other small lesion amenable to this modality.

'Little House on the Prairie' Star Michael Landon Was Inspired for Final Show After Daughter Nearly Died

Little House on the Prairie star Michael Landon both starred in and directed numerous television shows throughout the years. Interestingly enough, it turns out an accident involving his daughter is what inspired him to create his final show.
A PEOPLE article about Landon discussed both his personal and professional life. Talking about the shows he created, the late actor disclosed Highway to Heaven resulted from his daughter, Cheryl, nearly dying in a car wreck. 10 years later, while stuck in heavy traffic, he thought about doing a show where people simply went through life being nice to one another.
"She (Cheryl) was coming home from a fraternity-sorority gathering with four friends in a little Volkswagon, and they were struck by a Ford going in excess of 80 miles an hour," Landon stated. "It killed everyone but her, and it broke everything in her—all her ribs, her neck, you name it." Landon then turned to God and tried to strike a deal. If Cheryl lived, Landon would "do my best to make a product to help people."
Cheryl did end up surviving, and 10 years later, that's when Landon realized what he had to do. "I was driving over to pick up my kids and ran into bumper-to-bumper traffic. Everyone was honking their horns and cursing…and I thought it would be good to do a show where people could see how much better and healthier it is to go through life being nice."
'Little House on the Prairie' Actor Karen Grassle Discusses her Deteriorating Relationship with Michael Landon
Karen Grassle played Caroline Ingalls on Little House on the Prairie. At a glance, one would think their onscreen chemistry applied behind the scenes as well. Unfortunately, according to Grassle, that was far from the case and things only got worse.
Though things started out well in the first season, Grassle spoke to PEOPLE earlier this month about the tension between her and Landon. After trying to obtain a pay raise for season two of Little House on the Prairie, Landon attempted to dissuade her. She states he used scare tactics, saying her character wasn't popular and concerning acting, "it's a jungle out there."
Additionally, he began treating her differently on the set. "I love playing those scenes where we would talk over whatever the town crisis was and kind of flirt with each other, they were really sweet scenes, but he began to tell filthy jokes while we were sitting there in that bed, and I had nowhere to go," she explained. "I was trapped in that little bed in that little room, with me standing all around and there was light just on us. It was so humiliating."
Luckily, before Landon died from pancreatic cancer, the two made amends, Grassle said.

As Tears Go By (1988)
Streets of Mean
No better one day film school can be found in watching "Mean Streets" and then this.
Superficially they seem the same and Kar-Wai has told us that he patterned this, his first feature after Scorsese's first.
Here's the lesson: Scorsese belongs to a school of thinking where actors create characters, real extreme and powerful characters. These characters literally create the situations around them. The filmmaker's job is to attach the camera to the characters. Nearly all Italian and Italian-American filmmakers believe this. This is fine if you can live on espresso, but most of us in a film life need something to sustain us.
Kar-Wai in his later films is clearly in another camp. He literally starts with no script. He creates a cinematic tone. Into that tone is spun a place and his actors are expected to find their way within it. Only then do we see characters, and the camera is never, ever glued to personalities.
It is a world of difference, as different as people who can talk only about other people contrasted to those who can create another world in a conversation.
Sooner or later, all lucid watchers must make a choice about how big their film universe can be. This was Kar-Wai's beginning. It is hard to see unless you know his later stuff. But it is there, like the pollen in the air.

COLLEGE PARK, Md.—The University of Maryland's Maryland Industrial Partnerships program is selected to receive a national Excellence in Technology-Based Economic Development (TBED) Award from the State Science and Technology Institute (SSTI), a national nonprofit organization that leads, supports and strengthens efforts to improve state and regional economies through science, technology and innovation.
MIPS' award is in the Improving Competitiveness of Existing Industry category.
Presented yesterday at SSTI's 11th Annual Conference in Baltimore, Md., the awards are designed to celebrate exceptional achievement in addressing the elements found in successful technology-based economies and offer practitioners and policymakers examples of successful approaches employed by others.
"The Maryland Industrial Partnerships program represents an excellent model for bringing the University of Maryland and private companies together and for its ability to solve critical R&D challenges for companies commercializing technology products," says Dan Berglund, SSTI president and CEO. "This program is worthy of praise for its success in encouraging technology-based growth in Maryland."
MIPS is a program of the university's Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute, or MTECH, whose ten programs share a collective mission to educate the next generation of entrepreneurs, create new technology ventures, and connect Maryland companies with university resources to help them grow.
MIPS' award, in the Improving Competitiveness of Existing Industries category, recognizes initiatives expanding the innovation capacity of existing companies or industries to develop new leading edge products or services or significantly enhance the competitiveness of their existing operations.
Winning initiatives are selected by committees of accomplished TBED practitioners and policymakers through a competitive process.
Established in 1987, MIPS teams University System of Maryland faculty with Maryland companies to develop technology-based commercial products. The objective of the program is to transfer university knowledge and expertise directly to Maryland companies, where it can be commercialized and benefit the Maryland economy.
Black & Decker's Bullet Speed Tip Masonry Drill Bits, which drill up to two times faster than competitive bits and drill up to six times more holes per battery charge when using a cordless drill.
Products benefiting from MIPS research have generated more than $12.1 billion in sales and revenue. MIPS has provided matching funds for more than 577 projects, worth a total value of $152 million in R&D expenditures.
"MIPS enables faculty and students to engage in real-world research with direct commercial applications," says C.D. "Dan" Mote Jr., president of the University of Maryland. "The program also fulfills the university's outreach role as a flagship institution by transferring knowledge into the commercial sector with proven results-creating jobs, enhancing the state's economy, and driving products that improve our lives.
Companies from the latest round of MIPS funding project $2.6 billion in product sales, as well as the creation of 369 new, high-technology jobs. At this rate, the program would create jobs at a cost of $2,700 per job-well below the $10,000 traditional economic development estimate for dollars expended to create a job.
The MTECH Maryland Industrial Partnerships Program, an initiative of the A. James Clark School of Engineering's Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute, brings university innovation to the commercial sector by supporting university-based research projects to help Maryland companies develop technology-based products.
Since its inception in 1996, SSTI has developed a nationwide network of practitioners and policymakers dedicated to improving the economy through science and technology. This network has resulted in unique access to information. SSTI uses this access to assist states and communities as they build tech-based economies, conduct research on best practices and trends in tech-based economic development, and encourage cooperation among and between state and federal programs.

Mechanisms involved in the antiplatelet activity of Staphylococcus aureus lipoteichoic acid in human platelets

In this study, Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus lipoteichoic acid (LTA) dose-dependently (0.1-1.0 μg/ml) and time-dependently (10-60 min) inhibited platelet aggregation in human platelets stimulated by agonists. LTA also dose-dependently inhibited phosphoinositide breakdown and intracellular Ca+2 mobilization in human platelets stimulated by collagen. LTA (0.5 and 1.0 μg/ml) also significantly inhibited thromboxane A2 formation stimulated by collagen in human platelets. Moreover, LTA (0.1-1.0 μg/ml) dose-dependently decreased the fluorescence of platelet membranes tagged with diphenylhexatrience. Rapid phosphorylation of a platelet protein of Mr. 47,000 (P47), a marker of protein kinase C activation, was triggered by PDBu (30 nM). This phosphorylation was markedly inhibited by LTA (0.5 and 1.0 μg/ml) within a 10-min incubation period. These results indicate that the antiplatelet activity of LTA may be involved in the following pathways: LTA's effects may initially be due to induction of conformational changes in the platelet membrane, leading to a change in the activity of phospholipase C, and subsequent inhibition of phosphoinositide breakdown and thromboxane A2 formation, thereby leading to inhibition of both intracellular Ca+2 mobilization and phosphorylation of P47 protein. Therefore, LTA-mediated alteration of platelet function may contribute to bleeding diathesis in Gram-positive septicemic and endotoxemic patients.

Today's post is one for your bookmarks as I roundup lots of resources for each stage of the development process.
The first stage of building your WordPress theme is to create mockups in an image editing program such as Photoshop. The best way is to lay out the site in wireframe first – that is, to create the main content areas in black and white without adding any design details in. Once you are happy with the layout, you can then add design elements in such as the colors, textures, icons and so on.
Now you have your HTML and CSS templates ready, you can begin the process of building these into theme files that WordPress understands. I like to have a standard blank theme to start from which contains all the theme php files that are usually needed, you can build your own or there are a good range of blank themes and frameworks that people have created for you to base your theme upon. In this section I will take a look at these and also other components you may wish to include such as a theme options panel and built-in shortcodes.
The final part of the theme development process is live testing of your theme to eliminate any errors before putting it live. You can use test data which will test out all the possible uses of the theme – adding in lots of comments, tags, images and html elements. There are also a number of plugins to hell you eradicate any bad code such as deprecated calls etc.
Nice roundup Oli. I love Hybrid Core. I use it for all of my development, and Justin Tadlock has amazing support for all things WordPress for an absolute steal… and the framework is free if someone wants to give it a spin. I make way more money in productivity than I pay for the yearly support fee though.
Yes, Im a big fan of the Hybrid Framework as well – $25 a year is nothing really is it.
Awesome collection! Really useful to get started with WP themes.
Great list! Have used many of these in the past. Found a few new ones that I haven't heard of. Thanks for this.


Golf Terms Beginning with the Letter "H"
hack-- To chop violently at the ball. To make bad shots. To play bad golf.
hacker-- A poor golfer. Same as "duffer"
half-- Used in match play when score is tied on a hole. Each side credited with a half.
half shot-- A shot executed with less than a full swing.
halved-- A golf match that ends in a tie. Typically both teams will split the points normally awarded to the match winner. A hole may also be halved when each team finishes it with the same score.
handicap-- The number of shots a golfer may deduct from his score at the end of a round for comparison purposes. A handicap is used to calculated and used to allow golfers of differing levels to compete together in a fairly competitive game. A golfer's handicap is based on several factors but in simple terms it is basically equivalent to the average number of strokes above par that a golfer scores for a complete round over time.
handicap certificate-- A written document issued by a player's golf club or by a golf association that shows his/her current handicap.
hanging lie-- A golf ball which sits on a downhill slope.
hazard-- A sand trap, high rough, or area of water on a golf course intended to make a golf hole more difficult.
head-- The area of the golf club used to strike the golf ball.
heel-- The area of the club head closest to the golf shaft.
hickory-- A type of hard wood used to make club shafts at the beginning of the 19th century through the 1920's.
hit-- To strike the golf ball. Also, a shot.
hog's back-- A ridge of ground on a golf course.
hold-- A ball that remains very close to where it landed on the green and has very little bounce or roll. Also a struck ball that remains on the green.
hole-- The cup on a putting green into which a golfer attempts to hit the golf ball to complete a hole. The hole is round and measures 4 1/4" (108 mm) in diameter. Also, to hit a putt, chip or other shot into the cup thereby successfully completing a golf hole. Also, a part of a golf course typically consisting of a tee, fairway, and green. There are 18 holes on a standard golf course.
hole high-- A golf shot hit a distance roughly equivalent to where the hole on the green is but off to the left or right.
hole in one-- A golf hole completed in one stroke. Also known as an ace.
hole out-- To finish a golf hole by hitting the ball into the cup. Also, to hit a chip shot or other shot from off the green into the cup.
home green-- The green on the final hole of a golf course..
home pro-- A local golf club professional that works at a local golf club and typically plays only in local events. Also known as a local pro.
honor-- The right to tee off first on a particular golf hole. The golfer with the lowest score on the most recent hole gets the honor. If the scores were equivalant on the last hole, then the golfer with the lowest score on the previous hole gets the honor, etc. The honor is usually assigned or drawn at random for the first hole.
hook-- For a right-handed player, to hit the ball so that its flight path curves from the right to the left (or from left to right for a left-handed player) in a pronounced manner.
hosel-- The hollow portion of a club head where the shaft is inserted and fastened.
hustler-- A golfer who has a high golf handicap on purpose in order to gain an advantage in a golf match.
Golf balls are available in a variety of compressions and cover types including cut-free and soft balata. Choosing the right ball is important to play your best golf.

On June 28th I had the pleasure of working with DJ Rue whom I ran into a week earlier by total coincidence. Her DJ skills were legit, and she had people going all day at the fashion premier block party event I was doing a video for. It was cool to meet her in person, as this shoot was arranged by her marketing manager Bernice Bonner, who took a chance and booked me for this promotional portrait for a rebranding strategy she envisioned.
The looks and styles below would not have been possible without the help from Bonner's team of makeup artists and wardrobe stylists for these four separate artist personas.

The Genealogue: Live From New York, It's a Census Sketch!
Live From New York, It's a Census Sketch!
Tina Fey, whose new series 30 Rock debuts tonight on NBC, says her favorite Saturday Night Live sketch was one called "Census." Here's a snippet from the transcript.
Census-Taker: Mr. Leonard? I'm with the U.S. Census Bureau. We sent you a Census form, but you failed to return it to us.
Mr. Leonard: My mail is piled up like crazy.
Census-Taker: Yeah. Well, I just need to fill out this Census form with you. Uh ... how many people live in this residence?
Mr. Leonard: Oh, boy ... good question. I'm bad with numbers. Maybe 80.
Census-Taker: 80 people live in this apartment?
Census-Taker: Well, just take your time, and count.
Census-Taker: Well, you know, we don't count candy bars or plants.
Mr. Leonard: Well, then, there's just the two of us. Boy, I really overshot with the 80!


I'm an innately competitive person. Whether that has to do with growing up playing almost every sport imaginable or just loving the gamification of life, I'm not really sure… But sometimes I find it next to impossible to contain myself.
This is a trend to which many can relate. Everyone has played some version of the "time game." You know, where you feel like you've been working for hours, you guess the time, only to be immediately devastated when you learn that your guess was at least an hour ahead of reality. Or when you're using a GPS and do everything in your power to beat your estimated time of arrival.
For some reason, everyday tasks just feel so much more fun and rewarding when you turn them into a little competition.
So how can we translate this practice into our lives for us to become the "best version of ourselves?" According to TED speaker Jane McGonigal, "we feel as if we are not as good in reality, as we are in games," so we should try to find ways to make the real world function more like a game.
Hundreds of apps have picked up on a similar theory. Coupled with geofencing, users can earn points for visiting new locations, redeem rewards and advance to different levels just like they can do in most games.
Websites like Lumosity also follow this premise, going as far as stating that you can actually "train your brain" with games, and become faster at everyday tasks and retain more information.
So how can you get away with applying similar gamification to other aspects of your life, particularly the workplace?
It's not like you can take bets on how long your weekly client call will last, or how many times your boss will throw around industry jargon in a presentation. Many question the ethics and legality of office pools and similar activities as it is, even in the most innocent of circumstances.
Furthermore, when office "games" are an effort from HR to encourage teamwork and bonding, they usually end up being more of a pain than pleasure to participate in.
Playing games, says McGonigal, boosts four types of resilience: physical, mental, emotional, and social — which are all needed in our personal and work lives. So if the science behind it is right, then we really should be making the everyday tasks of life into games to make a better world, and a better you. Let the games begin!

Air Liquide doubles its biomethane production capacity
WEBWIRE – Monday, April 23, 2018
Since the beginning of 2018, Air Liquide has commissioned three new biomethane production units, in the United States, in France, and in the United Kingdom. With these units, Air Liquide has doubled its biomethane production capacity, which now stands at 60 MW, the equivalent of 500 GWh for a full year of production. Over the course of the last four years, the Group has decided around 100 million euros in investments in biomethane production. Today, the Group operates 10 production units around the world, designed to purify biogas in order to transform it into biomethane and inject it into the natural gas network.
The three new biomethane production units commissioned by Air Liquide are located in the United States (Walnut, Mississippi), in France (Cestas, near Bordeaux), and in the United Kingdom (Northwick, near Birmingham).
The new biomethane production unit in the United States is located in the Northeast Mississippi Landfill (NEML) site. This is the first large-scale unit built by Air Liquide in the United States. It purifies the biogas that results from household waste treatment sites and transforms it into biomethane.
In Europe, the units purify the biogas from farm waste and transform it into biomethane. Part of this biomethane is used for trucks fueled by bio-NGV (Natural Gas for Vehicles), a clean non-fossil fuel with no fine particulates emissions.
Air Liquide has developed technologies and expertise that cover the entire biomethane value chain: the purification of biogas for its transformation into biomethane, injection into the natural gas networks in collaboration with local players, liquefaction, distribution for clean vehicle fleets fueled by bio-NGV.
François Darchis, Senior Vice President, member of the Air Liquide Executive Committee supervising innovation, commented: "The commissioning of these new biomethane production units, whether in the United States or in Europe, illustrates the strong growth in new markets related to the energy transition. In transforming the biogas produced by waste into biomethane using its patented separation and purification technologies, Air Liquide contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving air quality."
Global Markets & Technologies
The Global Markets & Technologies (GM&T) World Business Unit delivers technological solutions (molecules, equipment and services) to support the new markets in energy transition, maritime logistics via cryogenic transportation, and scientific exploration in order to accelerate Air Liquide's sustainable growth. GM&T employs 1,800 people worldwide and generated a 2017 revenue of €372 million.
is produced during the treatment of waste (coming from farming, household waste and industrial activities). Biogas purification technology is based on the use of patented polymer membranes manufactured by Air Liquide. This powerful system separates the components of biogas, and generates a biomethane that can be injected into the natural gas network. Used as fuel in vehicles, bio natural gas or biomethane is also called bio-NGV (Natural Gas for Vehicles).


For Less tech-savvy individuals, however, creating a landing page from scratch is not feasible. You can say the same for entrepreneurs with little to no marketing dollars to spare.
That is where Leadpages comes in. As you'll find within this Leadpages review, the web-based platform guarantees to offer you the tools you'll need to publish high-converting landing pages to your lead-generation campaigns.
Leadpages is designed to help its users create Stunning landing pages — all without the need for coding or design experience. During these landing pages, users will be able to prompt customers to provide their email or other relevant information.
At the Core of Leadpages is the Leadpage Editor, an easy-to-use Tool that enables users to utilize templates and edit the details as required. You'll see later how the editor works.
On top of that, the company also offers additional Attributes to further help their customers take advantage of their lead generation campaigns.
There are many reasons why Leadpages, to this day, Remains a go-to resource for users who need landing pages fast. Here are a few of the features the company has to offer you.
The Landing Page Creator makes use of drag-and-drop Performance that makes it easier for customers to create custom landing pages that suits their needs.
To get you started, you will find over 100 templates to Select from and may be filtered by business. The templates are sorted by conversion rate that's very useful. It provides users with an opportunity to select an established template according to Leadpages' data.
Do note, however, that there are many factors that Influence conversion speed. Since the templates are customizable, it's difficult to attribute conversion into the template alone. For what it's worth, Leadpages assert it as its most powerful and unique sorting attribute.
The templates are a mix of in-house and third-party offerings. Any template that is not produced by Leadpages itself wants to be paid to use. Hosting is included in your subscription.
You can perform A/B testing so you can determine Which landing pages work best. You are able to assess your performance during the built-in analytics (you are able to integrate it with Facebook Pixel and Google Analytics).
If you have ever encounter those pop-up boxes that Appear just as you are going to leave a website, you've probably encountered Leadboxes.
This nifty box may either pop up mechanically or Be triggered by a condition you set. The most popular affliction is possibly the 2-step opt-in where a visitor has to click a button to your own pop-up box to appear.
If done right, Leadboxes could increase involvement And bring about more prospects for your business. As with the landing pages, there's a drag-and-drop editor for Leadboxes to make it easier for users to get up and running in minutes.
From here, it is possible to edit the leadbox in your Bidding. It has a drag-and-drop editor which makes coming up with a layout for your leadbox really simple.
The Leadbox Layout enables you to fix the overall layout Of the opt-in form. You can change the background picture, padding, timing control, and others to get the absolute most out of your leadbox.
Leadbox Tracking enables you to capture and analyze data of your chosen boxes to determine how it Performs over time. Join your Google Analytics or Visual Website Optimizer to gather information which will allow you to make sense of your own boxes.
The rationale behind this one is construct a text list. So, instead of merely collecting email addresses, it is possible to get people on a list with their phone numbers. This could be incredibly valuable particularly with the younger generation that's more likely to text than email.
When the recipient clicks on that linkthey are Instantly enrolled. They won't be required to enter additional info. This is especially useful for webinar registration and so on.
After a quick registration process, you'll input The dashboard and be encouraged to make your very first effort. By default, you are taken to Leadpages at which you can make a landing page. You can access the site's other attributes throughout the navigation bar.
To Begin your first landing page, click the Let's Do It button. The site will help you through the process by asking you questions regarding the essence of your landing page. You will be given access to all the available templates provided afterwards. As an alternative, you can access the templates straight via the navigation bar.
At this point, It's important to note that there Are two kinds of templates out there. To begin with, you've got drag-and-drop templates that are more customizable and modern. Then you've got your standard templates that are tried and tested to guarantee high conversion prices.
Standard templates are simple with small Room for modification. You will be able to edit the text and substitute the sample images but won't be able to move any of the elements around. You may opt to conceal any component you have no use for but users need to do this with caution. Hiding elements can lead to apparently empty spaces.
To add SEO and monitoring info, simply click The Lead Page Options button located on the left-hand sidebar. Use this to add metadata information in addition to tracking codes.
Drag-and-drop templates operate a bit differently. Right off the bat, you'll see that you have more options. The sidebar homes four buttons: widgets, page design, page design, and page tracking.
By dragging and dropping widgets to your landing Webpage, you are ready to add new elements to edit. It's possible to add headlines, text, pictures, videos, buttons, and much more. It is here where you'll encounter among Leadpages' most infamous kinks. The website's drag-and-drop performance is flawed.
Putting elements where you need them may be a pain. For starters, you can just set them in areas that the template permits you to. You will find grids where widgets can be inserted while some other areas are off limits. Then there's the issue with precision. The widgets tend to snap into place. And as is the case throughout our testing, they end up nowhere close to its intended destination.
Editing the text and images, nevertheless, is a breeze. Simply click on any placeholder text and substitute the existing one with yours. You can resize and move elements around.
By Way of Example, clicking on the Page Layout icons Shows you the various section the page has. With this template, you will find two sections — the material body and the footer.
Page Style lets you play with your font as well as add custom CSS for more Innovative users.
Page Tracking works exactly the same way as in standard templates. Only this time, you Can integrate it with Facebook and Google Analytics.
Customer service does exist but priority is given To advanced subscribers. They have access to some 1-on-1 Quick Start Telephone as well as free digital workshops. Those under the standard plan might need to make do with chat service (9 AM to 5 PM Central time during weekdays) or open a support ticket.
You can print your landing pages on their own or under your domain name. However, publishing beneath a Subdomain can possibly turn off your viewers. It's advised that you print under your own domainname.
To do that, click on the user icon onto the top-right Part of the screen to start the drop-down menu. Pick"Domains" to load the webpage where you are able to connect your own domainname.
The dynamic HTML options Allow You to publish the Landing page on any site. However, there are ways to incorporate the instrument in other CMS like WordPress, Squarespace, and other popular content management systems.
Users can subscribe on a monthly, annual, or Two-year basis with the two-year strategy being the very cost effective provided you are in for the long haul. There are three tiers to pick from: standard, pro, and advanced.
At $25/month, Leadpages is cheap enough for startups and one-man showrunners. The advantages of having the ability to design and deploy landing pages for lead generation compensate for the cost. But $48/month can be a steep price to cover the tiny perks that you unlock at that level. Unless you have a real demand for internet sales and obligations and A/B testing, you are better off using the most basic plan. It should also be enough to help you get more with your blog or website.
Leadlinks and Leaddigits are also unavailable If you don't subscribe to the pro or innovative plan which is really a bummer.
For the average consumer, Leadpages will probably be more than Enough to fulfill your lead generation objectives. In the conclusion of the day, all you need is a presentable landing page which will wow your crowd. Leadpages is more than capable of getting the job done. It truly does not require any prior design or coding expertise.
The sheer number of templates that are available would be More than sufficient to get you started on the ideal path. There is a template for virtually every situation. Alternatives range from webinar webpages, thank you pages, product launching pages, checkout pages, as well as 404 pages. Leadpages claim they have at least 160 free templates within their library.
You can use Leadpages regardless of what CMS you are using. It can support WordPress, Joomla, Squarespace, and more.
The bulk of the Leadpages inspection was concentrated on The landing page builder however let's not forget that subscribers also get access to Leadboxes. There is no denying the fact that pop-up boxes are effective and can lead to conversions that would otherwise be overlooked if not for Leadboxes.
The drag-and-drop functionality issues Will Need to be addressed. Individuals who are very particular about their landing page designs can struggle with the program's interface. The instrument may also slow down every now and then which can be problematic particularly for individuals that are looking for a tight deadline.
Leadpages themselves promote users not use their standard templates. There's barely any customization choices. The lack of drag-and-drop feature is unavailable for regular templates. Thus, even in case you decide to locate a template worth using in their outdated selections, you'd be unable to customize them as you see fit.
There is no denying the importance of A/B testing. It's the only way to see that pages are working and which ones require refinement. Regrettably, standard users don't have any access to A/B testing and will need to update to a greater plan to generate use of this feature.
Leadpages is a good deal for startups awarded the Reasonable $25 entrance point. If you need sleek, responsive landing pages quick and will help you improve your conversion funnel and make more money, the tool will be more than capable of delivering exactly that. However, there are lots of alternatives out there which do pretty much the exact same thing. Maybe not on the same degree, but you do have choices.
Large-scale businesses are likely to have in-house Solutions to creating landing pages for their lead generation campaigns. The $199/month innovative plan appears too steep of a price point for large corporations.

Did you know that William Fortnum was a footman in the royal household of Queen Anne. The Royal Family's insistence on having new candles every night meant a lot of half-used wax which he promptly resold for a tidy profit. He convinced his landlord, Hugh Mason, to be his associate, and they founded the first store in St James's Market in 1707. Not only that but they lay claim to the invention of the Scotch Egg!

Hillary Clinton Breaks Silence on Trump-Ukraine, Says It's 2016 All Over Again
Matt NahamSep 20th, 2019, 11:00 am
Former Secretary of State and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton saw fit on Friday to quote tweet Axios's video of Rudy Giuliani's trainwreck Thursday interview with CNN.
During that interview, as most to all of you surely know by now, Giuliani offered a denial and then an admission within a span of seconds on whether he asked Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden, a Democratic presidential candidate hoping to defeat President Donald Trump in 2020.
Clinton's takeaway? It's 2016 all over again.
The president asked a foreign power to help him win an election.
Again.https://t.co/EjkE84oCCF
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 20, 2019
"The president asked a foreign power to help him win an election. Again," Clinton remarked.
The Giuliani three-step (No I Didn't, Yes I Did, If I Did It…) was met with derision and scorn online into the morning. The context has to do with a whistleblower complaint that reportedly concerned a troubling "promise" President Trump made to a foreign leader. The Washington Post was the first to the story on Wednesday, and they advanced it on Thursday by saying that the complaint involved Ukraine.
Trump has repeatedly denied that anything troubling occurred and called such claims politically-motivated fake news; legal experts have countered that and explained why the whistleblower complaint is not fake news.
The latest reporting on the situation, from the Daily Beast, quoted a "senior adviser to [Ukraine's] interior minister" who said Ukraine is ready to investigate Biden's son Hunter Biden if the Trump Administration makes an "official request."
Anton Geraschenko said that investigation is not open, but could be. He also claimed Trump is "now looking for kompromat to discredit his opponent Biden [and] to take revenge for his friend Paul Manafort, who is serving seven years in prison."

MOSCOW, October 16. /TASS/. The Russian national team plunged in the newly-published monthly ratings edition of the world's governing body of football, FIFA, to 65th place, which is a new record-low position in the ratings history for the Russian squad.
Packing 563 points, team Russia dropped one rung lower than last month's ratings and is squeezed between the team from Cape Verde Islands (64th place with 568 points) and Guinea (66th place, 552 points).
The current frontrunners in FIFA's top-ten rankings are reigning World Champions Germany (1,631 points), followed by Brazil (1,619), Portugal (1,446), Argentina (1,445), Belgium (1,333), Poland (1,323), France (1,226), Spain (1,218), Chile (1,173) and Peru (1,160).
"Peru have climbed into the top ten of the FIFA World Ranking for the first time in an edition shaped by the latest decisive FIFA World Cup qualifiers," the FIFA said in its statement on Monday.
"The Peruvians (10th, up 2 places), who have qualified for an intercontinental play-off against New Zealand to determine who will be heading to Russia next summer, were joined in the ranking's upper echelons by Spain, who climbed from 11th to 8th on the back of an impressive conclusion to their unbeaten qualifying campaign," according to the statement.
The next edition of FIFA's ranking list is due to be published on November 23, 2017.
National teams around the globe have been playing qualifying matches to earn a place in the 2018 FIFA World Cup, while Russia as the host nation was guaranteed a berth in the world's main quadrennial football event. Therefore, the Russian national team is playing friendly football matches in the run-up to the much anticipated 2018 FIFA World Cup.
The main round of the global qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup has been already concluded and nine remaining vacant spots in the championship will be determined in the play-off round.
The teams, which already qualified for the next year's championship are hosts Russia, Brazil, Iran, Japan, Mexico, Belgium, Korea Republic, Saudi Arabia, Germany, England, Spain, Nigeria, Costa Rica, Poland, Egypt, Iceland, Serbia, France, Portugal, Panama, Uruguay, Colombia and Argentina.
The matches of the 2018 World Cup will be held between June 14 and July 15 at 12 stadiums in 11 different cities across Russia. Two of the stadiums are located in the Russian capital of Moscow.

The AMLOS solution is a single (camera), and simple and seamless hybrid work solution being designed to enable in-person meeting participants to guide the focus of a single camera2 using simple hand gestures and share digitally enhanced, high-resolution images from the room with remote collaborators. Remote users can access the AMLOS meeting through a web browser from a link sent by the in room presenter, and can personalize their view , focusing on the speaker or the whiteboard, a screen or a prop in the room that the in room presenter is highlighting – creating a useful and engaging experience.
"We are so excited to be attending InfoComm 2022 and welcome attendees to visit our booth to learn about the AMLOS System being developed and the many ways it can help to bridge the gap for hybrid work, remote learning, and creative communities," said Kohei Maeda, advisor, marketing, Business Information Communication Group (BICG), Canon U.S.A., Inc. "Collaboration has taken on an entirely new meaning as a result of the pandemic. AMLOS is being developed with the goal of keeping colleagues and team members connected in a different way in hybrid environments, and to help alleviate some pain points that can come with working remotely in an interactive group setting."
"As the advertising agency that's helping Canon launch AMLOS, we've gotten to know the technology inside and out. We understand what a game changer it is, especially in our industry where we're constantly collaborating on ideas, with coworkers and clients all over the world," said Andrés Ordóñez, chief creative officer, FCB Chicago.
Further amplifying Canon's message around connecting remote work environments through the AMLOS System, Kohei Maeda will be participating in a panel session at InfoComm 2022 titled, "The Trend Forecast - Conferencing & Collaboration," scheduled for 11:00 a.m. to 11:20 a.m. on Thursday, June 9 at the Technology Innovation Stage (West Hall, Booth W2247).
Attendees can find the Canon booth in the North Hall N1362 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

If your kids are anything like mine they are Minions maniacs! Ever since Despicable Me came out, we've had to buy a shocking amount of bananas. Haha! So we, of course, had to go see the Minions movie as soon as it came out. I have to admit, they didn't exactly have to drag the hubs and me to the theater. We love those little yellow guys almost as much as they do. You know you've hit a home run with a movie when you appeal to kids and parents alike...What can I say? We all have yellow fever!
I kind of identify with the Minions in that I'm all kinds of obsessed with bananas. I not only nosh one practically every day, but I'm also for sucker for banana flavored anything...Remember banana Runts? Those were totally my jam. Wow do I wish I had a bag right now...but I digress. And don't get me started on yellow. That sunny hue just simply makes me happy. Hence, I have a good amount of it in wardrobe and my kids do too. Now I'm not usually one to deck my wee ones out in head to toe character gear, but I certainly don't mind picking up a piece with their favorite character on it here and there. In fact, I found some adorable Minions fashions at The Children's Place and Old Navy. Yeah, it's a lot of yellow. And I'm ok with that!
I bet your little Minions lovers would be thrilled if you brought them home one of these adorable tees. I only wish they made them in my size. I mean I do have a nice little collection of Marvel superhero tees...Why not add some Minions to the mix? Just sayin'! And if you haven't seen the movie yet, these two would like to tell you that they give it their seal of approval. Get ready for the yellow fever to take over your household too!


The Spark Series Deck to Deck Wave Ladder Short is a small connector piece used to join two deck platforms in a custom play structure together. Its size makes it perfect for decks that are fairly close together. It has the same number of zig zags as the long Wave Ladder, but more compressed, which means the waves are more pronounced. The wavy shape of this climber makes it especially exciting, since it challenges kids to move up and down rather than simply going to the side. The highest and lowest bars of this piece are parallel to each other, and spaced so that kids standing on the lower bar can comfortably use the higher bar as a support. The wave pattern naturally looks nice alongside many of our other play system components with a nautical theme, such as the Spark Series Sea Creature Climber.

How far does copyright go in creature design?
I'm trying to make some dragons for my game and I'm wondering how far I can go with inspiration before I get in trouble.
Obviously, I can't just take a picture and make a 3D model that looks exactly like the picture. But what about taking ideas? For example this dragon has these iconic red fins on his neck and his tail and now I'm wondering if I could use similar fins on my own dragon or if that's getting me into legal hell.
I tried to google for Creature Design copyright but I could not find anything. Maybe someone here got some resources where I can find more info about that?

Oh Smaug, greatest of catastrophes, welcome to Law.SE. Can you tell us which jurisdiction you are in? – Paul Johnson May 26 at 19:12
Germany, Europe – Smaug May 27 at 20:32
Copying something is copyright infringement - being inspired isn't
Where the line lies between the two depends on the particular circumstances.
With dragons, there are probably millions of images created over thousands of years. If your dragon is a generic dragon inspired by these it doesn't infringe copyright. If your dragon clearly looks like another specific copyrighted dragon then it does.
Unfortunately, if you stray to close to a copyrighted image you might get sued and that suit will be expensive to defend and you might lose. At the end of the day, the judge/jury decides if its a copy or not.

Counterpoint: There have been a number of lawsuits over music copyright, of the form "This short sequence of notes from your song sounds like that short sequence of notes from my song, so you owe me a kajillion dollars for 'copying' it." This despite the fact that there are only finitely many short sequences of notes, many of which sound horribly dissonant, and most of the rest won't match the genre. – Kevin May 28 at 1:15
There's a short answer to whether you can use similar fins, and that's "not at the moment" - you've posted discoverable material (this question) where you've linked to an image and referred to the fins as "iconic". There is now evidence that would seem to support the argument that you were intending to copy, rather than to be inspired.
You might be able to find other sources (images, literature) that describe red fins which would change your perception of whether they were iconic. If so, you could include them in an edit or save them for possible defence argument, though it's not a perfect solution.
I liked this question, as it illustrates its own premise. Copyright actions may rely more on how people have described their inspiration than whether two things look similar. There's a significant difference between saying "I like the idea of red fins" and "I like the red fins in this picture", and that's the line a copyright lawyer would attempt to define.

AutoMatters & More: The SEMA Show Turns 50
Bustling SEMA Show floor
(Jan Wagner)
By Jan Wagner
SEMA – the Specialty Equipment Market Association – is a trade association representing the $39.2 billion, worldwide automotive aftermarket industry. It offers its members research, training, education, manufacturing support services, legislative advocacy, group-buying discounts, networking events and more. For four days each year it hosts the SEMA Show, one of the largest trade-only shows in Las Vegas.
Beautiful custom cars on display
This year, occupying 1.2 million square feet of exhibit space in the Las Vegas Convention Center and another 1.5 million square feet elsewhere, its 2,400+ exhibitors were comprised of businesses large and small, including manufacturers of automotive accessories that enhance the performance, styling, comfort, convenience and safety of cars, trucks and SUVs. There were more than 3,000 products in the New Products Showcase alone.
500 companies exhibited at the SEMA Show for the very first time. Auto manufacturers were there, as were over 3,000 members of the media to cover this massive event.
In addition to exhibits in the exhibit halls, there were demonstrations of the products. Cars burned copious amounts of tire rubber while drifting in paved lots outside – with and without passengers.
Drifting at SEMA ignited
Nearly 70,000 buyer companies were represented, from over 140 countries around the world. They sought products to sell and attended education seminars that focused on such topics as business strategies and techniques, online marketing, product training, customer service and new vehicle technology.
This year the SEMA Show celebrated its 50th anniversary, and has it ever grown! The first SEMA Show – then called "The High Performance & Custom Trade Show" – took place in 1967 under the damp grandstands of Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. It had 98 booths featuring products on simple card tables, backed by drapes hung from pipes.
The show grew and in 1974 it moved to the Anaheim Convention Center. In 1977 it moved again, to a smaller version of its current home in the Las Vegas Convention Center. In 2002 the convention center expanded with the addition of the two-story South Hall, providing an additional 1 million square feet of space.
In 2003 a proving ground was added to demonstrate the manufacturers' products. Over the years these demonstrations have included off-road rock crawling and drifting.
In 2011, in response to the public's desire to at least catch a glimpse of the many custom vehicles as they left the convention center on Friday afternoon, the SEMA Show introduced the SEMA Cruise. After the vehicles departed the convention center, they all merged onto the road in front of the buildings and slowly paraded past where temporary grandstands were erected. Thousands of people enjoy this popular event each year.
Another event open to the public is SEMA Ignited. Introduced in 2014, this is the SEMA Show after-party. It features food, hundreds of custom vehicles from the SEMA Cruise, the finale of the Battle of the Builders competition, drifting, displays and lots more to see and do.
A new project is underway to further expand the Las Vegas Convention Center. When complete it will add 600,000 square feet of space, thoroughly modernize the convention center and comprehensively upgrade transportation.
Among the countless products at this year's SEMA Show, here are two that should have broad appeal.
Craftsman Extreme GRIP 45-piece Mechanics Tool Set
Craftsman Extreme Grip Tools
New from Craftsman is the latest in their series of Extreme GRIP hand tools. The 45-piece Mechanics Tool Set features diamond-coated bits to grip fasteners better and reduce slippage. This makes loosening, tightening and starting faster and easier, and aids in the removal of stripped screws. The set includes a slim profile, combination drive flex-head ratchet (1/4-inch hex and 3/8-inch square), 18 bit sockets, 25 screwdriver bits and an extension bar. It is available online from Sears.com, and from brick & mortar stores.
Race Ramps Pro-Stop
New from Race Ramps is their Made-in-the-USA Pro-Stop. It helps you pull forward to the correct place for parking in your garage, eliminating the need to hang a tennis ball from the ceiling.
Made from recycled rubber tires, the Pro-Stop is non-slip. Place it where you want a front tire of your car to stop. Then when you drive into your garage, you'll feel a slight bump when you drive over the lip at the front of the Pro-Stop. Keep going slowly until the tire hits the other end, which will stop you. It's as simple as that.
Pro-Stop is available online at raceramps.com, from Amazon.com and elsewhere in packs of one, two and four.
