Create a relationship with an online media outlet that specializes in topics that are relevant to your company. If they post a link to your site on their page, you have access to a large pool of interested users. An online media outlet is also a great place to send press releases about your business. Is there something new and exciting that you are unveiling? This lets a community of people who are already interested in your field know about what you are doing.
When marketing your site, try to avoid looking at the ranking of your pages for at least the first few months. Checking on your progress may cause you to become discouraged. Results do not happen immediately, and seeing slow progress might cause you to throw in the towel. Just keep your head down, work hard, and then check in.
You should network for your site the same way you would network for a job. Get to know people in your field and trade valid and pertinent links with them. The more referrals you have on other sites, the higher you will be in search rankings. Having plenty of links to other websites on your site, helps significantly as well.
Provide a webinar that not only focuses on a problem or difficult scenario within your niche, but also comes close to solving the problem. You then enhance the solution with a product (your product or an affiliate product) that will complete the solution and be the ultimate answer to the problem.
Offer webinars to your online community on related themes to your products or services. Presenting a webinar helps build leadership within your industry niche and also introduces your product to potential new buyers. Plus, the webinars can be archived on your site offering value past the original presentation!
A great tip for internet marketing is to include a way to for your visitor to get a free sample of your product within your ad. The content of your ad might not convince someone to buy your product on its own. You may need to let them try it out! If you sell an e-book or a webinar, you can easily have people download a free chapter. If you sell another type of product, make an offer to ship them a free sample.

Building something of a relationship with your visitors now will only boost your link potential in the future.
To sell products more easily, look for cheap products. Something that people can buy for under ten dollars obviously require less reflection and less convincing than a more expensive product. Present the price as an excellent deal and compare it to what customers would have to pay in a store.
To increase the success of your web marketing, discover the type of tracking software a company uses before you join their affiliate program. If the program does not track all of your sales, then you will not receive credit for all of the viewers that you refer to their company.
To promote your online marketing products most effectively, you can write a free book or paper on the topic and give it away on your website. You can also convert it into Kindle format and offer it for little to no money on the Amazon site. This will create more interest in your product.

Don't expect immediate results. While some products will immediately start bringing in sales, others take time. Your return readers will help to build your sales gradually and this in turn, brings you the money from the company you work for. This isn't an instant turn around, but patience will help it pay off in the end.

My name is Peter Coyle and I am a transition year student in Blackrock College. I chose to do my work experience here in KantanMT, because I am interested in technology and hope to one day work in a tech company. Technology is growing at an incredible rate. I believe my generation and the generation before me are living in a kind of "renaissance" of technology. The growth and change of the world of technology excite me. People are doing things now that couldn't have been imagined just years ago. Driverless cars, VR drones and the power to translate 4 million words in 24 hours… that's amazing!
What is KantanMT and what do they do?
KantanMT is a Custom Machine Translation platform that provides the most extensive range of customisation and accuracy management features in the market. Used by some of the world's leading brands, KantanMT delivers translations that are superfast, accurate and brand-consistent. KantanMT ensures data-confidentiality with cloud or on-premise deployments, offers self-managed or fully-serviced implementations, and supports any translation volume in over 760 language pairs.
What did I do and learn at KantanMT?
I was given several tasks at the beginning of the week. One of my tasks was to research the Machine Translation service industry and compare the KantanMT offerings with other companies offering similar solutions. It was interesting to analyse KantanMT's technology and customer service against one of its main competitors.
After receiving a demo of KantanMT's expansive range of services from Riccardo Superbo (KantanMT's Client Solutions Engineer), it became clear to me that Kantan offers a much wider range of services than its competitors. I was pleasantly surprised by the intelligence of KantanMT's technology and yet its wonderful simplicity. It was so easy to use, that by the end of the week even I could create my own engine with no background in IT or language. The beauty of KantanMT, in my opinion, is that it gives any organisation the opportunity to grow anywhere at any time.
After completing my competitor analysis it is apparent no other MT company come close to KantanMT's level of efficiency and accuracy. They offer a growing number of features to cater to the specific needs and demands of every organisation they work with.
The KantanMT staff were as friendly as their technology. Riccardo was brilliant at teaching me how to use and understand the KantanMT platform. Poulomi (KantanMT's Marketing and Content Developer) assigned me tasks that were both interesting and fun. She also taught me how to use Photoshop, a very useful skill that I will practise in the future.
As I leave my last day of work experience with KantanMT, I will take with me a greater understanding of the technology industry, improved presentation and people skills, and knowledge of how it feels to work as part of a team in an office. I would like to thank the KantanMT team for welcoming and helping me throughout the week.

Your Internal Clock Feeling Out of Sync Could Be Your Body Alerting You to Serious Issues
By	Melanie Aman	 September 13, 2018
Do you ever feel like your body's internal clock doesn't match up with the real-world clock? For example, night owls could look at the clock on their nightstand and see midnight, but their body's clock says it's more like 8 p.m. This misalignment often results in hours of lost sleep, which can cause a whole host of other health issues. Now, researchers at Northwestern University have created a test that could potentially tell you what time your cells are operating on.
According to a September 2018 study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, researchers have constructed a new blood test that can determine a rough estimate of your body's internal clock. Called TimeSignature, the process looks at 40 genes in a person's blood and uses an algorithm to determine their biological clock time to within an hour and a half.
Researchers believe that this technology can be used to assess the best time to deliver a person's medications so the drugs are most effective. And unlike previous tests that required drawing blood multiple times during several hours, TimeSignature only requires two pricks and can be done any time of the day — even if a patient is sick.
Another benefit of this research is that it allows experts to deduce when someone's circadian rhythms — aka their internal clock — are disrupted so they can prescribe steps to fix it. After all, an out-of-sync body clock has been associated with health conditions like weight gain, diabetes, heart disease, and even Alzheimer's.
Circadian rhythms control "everything from when you feel sleepy, to when you feel hungry, to when your blood pressure rises and falls," Rosemary Braun, the study's lead author, said. "With it controlling so many different things, it's unsurprising that it also has a really big impact on health."
Unfortunately, TimeSignature isn't ready for doctors across the country to use — but that's certainly the goal in the future. "More research is needed," Braun said. "What we envision down the road, ultimately, is this being used as a diagnostic and as a monitoring mechanism."

Frank Martin stops Jerry Perez in the seventh-round
LOS ANGELES – Undefeated lightweight Frank Martin stopped previously unbeaten Jerry Perez in the seventh-round Tuesday night headlining FS1 PBC Fight Night and on FOX Deportes from Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles.
The battle of rising lightweight prospects saw Martin (13-0, 10 KOs) breakthrough in that seventh round, as he landed a crushing left hook that floored Perez late in the frame. Perez (13-1, 10 KOs) was able to rise to his feet, but a follow up attack from Martin forced referee Jerry Cantu to waive off the bout 2:59 into the round.
"I saw the shot coming the round before," said Martin, who is trained by renowned coach Derrick James. "I was going to the left looking for it, but I couldn't find the right distance. In the next round, Derrick told me he was leaning and that helped me find the distance to land it."
Martin controlled the fight with his movement and jab early and set the pace as the busier fighter, throwing 405 punches to Perez's 222 according to CompuBox. He more than doubled Perez's output of punches landed with a 100 to 47 advantage.
"I felt good in there," said Martin. "I just followed the game plan that Derrick gave me. He told me to go out there and use my feet. I hurt him at every step of the fight. Everything Derrick asked me to do was working."
Perez had perhaps his best round in the fourth, as he found some success breaking through Martin's defense with counter left hooks to the head. Martin was able to shake off the rough patch and was well in control on the cards at the time of the stoppage, having only lost one round on one judge's card.
"He was physically strong but there wasn't anything he did that affected me," said Martin. "This win is a big blessing. I'm just going to stay humble and keep moving forward and getting better."
In the co-main event, 22-year-old middleweight prospect Armando Resendiz (12-0, 8 KOs) was victorious in his U.S. debut as he defeated Quilisto Madera (12-3, 8 KOs) by split-decision in their eight-round battle.
"My team and I knew this was going to be a tough opponent," said Resendiz. "We prepared hard for this fight and all the fights that are coming for me. I want to keep building up to harder fights and eventually face the world champions at middleweight and super middleweight."
The Nayarit, Mexico native Resendiz rode a 46% connect rate on power punches to an eventual 130 to 84 edge in punches landed across the contest. Resendiz took a lead in the fight by winning rounds two through four on all three cards, with Madera coming on strong in the second half of the fight.
Madera punctuated his attempted comeback by out landing Resendiz 15 to 8 in power punches in the final frame. Despite the late onslaught, Resendiz was able to hold on and earn the victory after one judge scored the fight 77-75 for Madera, but was overruled by scores of 78-74 and 77-75 in favor of Resendiz.
Additional action saw Cameron Rivera (9-6-3, 6 KOs) awarded a narrow unanimous decision over Burley Brooks (6-2, 5 KOs) after their six-round super middleweight bout.
Brooks was given a point deduction in the final round due to low blows that proved costly for the 25-year-old. It proved the difference in the final outcome, with two judges scoring the bout 57-56 for Rivera, and the third seeing it 58-55. Brooks held a 105 to 92 edge in punches landed and 380 to 282 advantage in punches thrown
A battle of super lightweights saw Mexico's Jesus Silveyra (9-6-2, 3 KOs) win a unanimous decision over Amon Rashidi (8-2-1, 6 KOs) in an action-packed eight-round affair.
Sylveyra bloodied Rashidi's nose in the early rounds and rode that momentum to a 115-106 advantage in punches landed, while throwing 463 punches to Rashidi's 383. Rashidi stunned Selveyra with a massive left hook in round seven and had him hurt, but was unable to score a knockdown before the round ended.
Silveyra recovered in the eighth and final round to clinch the unanimous decision with scores of 78-74 and 79-73 twice.
In a super welterweight bout, Travon Marshall (1-0, 1 KO) scored an impressive first round knockout victory over Christian Marron (0-2) 33 seconds into their fight. The 20-year-old Marshall delivered a picture-perfect right hook to the hard-charging Marron's body, flooring the 31-year-old, who was unable to beat the count.
In the opening bout on FS1, Ezequiel Flores (1-0) won a unanimous decision over Juan Muro (0-1) after four rounds of super bantamweight action. Flores ran into trouble in round two when Muro landed a counter left hand that sent Flores to the canvas. Flores was able to rise to his feet and rally to win the final two rounds to earn the unanimous decision by the score of 38-37 from all three judges.

Focus Inspired is the result of Luki Danukarjanto's effort towards creating an organization that is dedicated to elevating career aspirations and unlocking career potentials of individuals.
After working as a successful management consultant for over twelve years, Luki knew there had to be more to life. As a management consultant he did a lot of traveling and after the number of days he had to spend away from his family increased, his level of work satisfaction decreased. These feelings catapulted him towards a path of self-discovery and made him question his purpose.
After countless hours of reading books, self-reflection, speaking to mentors and journaling, he found his passion in mentoring and coaching others. He helped people reach their career goals using his arsenal of knowledge that he gained working as a consultant running a practice area as well as the lead in the undergraduate campus recruiting program for a big four firm.
His realization was not an accident, it was a series of events, experiences, that led him to this path. Especially after talking to many students in campus recruitment programs, he became aware that these individuals needed more guidance when it comes to career selection. Many of the students were picking careers based on expectations of family members, friends, or others around them and not based on their own personality, passion and purpose.
He finally left his consultant job and started his entrepreneurial journey with more purposeful working hours that allowed him to slowly build on his vision of weaving mentorship into the fabric of society and helping individuals through career coaching, giving birth to Focus Inspired.
"Personal trainers for your career" helping you turn knowledge into results! We are currently a one-person army, with various collaborators on the same mission. Soon to add more professionals who are passionate about making a difference.

Racism, hate activity linked to mental health problems in victims
Posted: Saturday 04.10.2010 8:39 pm By M. Kay Siblani - Editor U.S.A
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — For the first time, researchers have connected mental health issues in Arab Americans and American Muslims with reported bias and discrimination following the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The researchers say their study is the first representative, population-based investigation of the health and psychological impacts of September 11 on Arabs and Muslims living in the United States. The study was published in the American Journal of Public Health on December 17, 2009. University of Michigan researchers found that one quarter of Detroit-area Arab Americans reported personal or familial abuse because of race, ethnicity or religion following 9/11, and that has led to higher odds of adverse health effects. Muslim Arabs also reported higher rates of abuse than Christians, said lead author Aasim I. Padela, M.D., a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Clinical Scholar in the University of Michigan's Department of General Medicine and clinical instructor in the Department of Emergency Medicine.Padela and co-author Michele Heisler, M.D., associate professor of Internal Medicine at U-M and assistant professor of Health Behavior and Health Education in U-M's School of Public Health, used data from a face-to-face survey of Arab Americans administered in 2003.The Detroit Arab American Study (DAAS) in 2003 was a companion survey to the 2003 Detroit Area Study (DAS), using a representative sample drawn from the three-county Detroit metropolitan area and an oversample of Arab Americans from the same region. The data contained respondent information concerning opinions on their experiences since the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, social trust, confidence in institutions, intercultural relationships, local social capital, attachments to transnational communities, respondent characteristics, and community needs. The study, funded by the Russell Sage Foundation and conducted by University of Michigan researchers, surveyed 1,016 Arab Americans. The mean age of the respondents was 43.6 years. Fifty-four percent of the respondents were female, and 58% were Christians. Most had lived in the United States for more than 10 years (81%), had health insurance coverage (83%), and were married (71%).Padela and his colleagues utilized data from the DAAS to look at the impact of discrimination and abuse upon health markers in this same sample.The initial study has been criticized by some as not being truly representative of the community in the 9/11 aftermath. Arab Americans and American Muslims were cited as having more trust in law enforcement agencies than the non-Arab participants, for instance. This was considered highly unlikely in the anti-Arab and anti-Muslim hysteria that reigned at the time. Because respondents chose whether or not to participate, it was generally felt that non-response bias had skewed those results.Padela says, however, that the initial study had a 73% participation rate, too high to be the sole cause for what appeared to be skewed results. He said if further analysis had been done, other causal factors may have been determined. Most respondents in the study sample had lived in the U.S. for greater than 10 years and findings of more trust may be related to such persons feeling more comfortable in the U.S. than more recent immigrants.Estimates of the American Muslim population vary widely but average 5.4 million, consisting of equivalent numbers of African Americans, South Asians, and Arabs. In addition, up to 2.5 million non-Muslim Arabs reside in the United States.Prejudice, discrimination, and violence against Muslims and Arabs have increased since September 11. The Federal Bureau of Investigation reported a 1600% increase in hate crimes against these populations in the year after the events of September 11. Similarly, in a population-based survey of Middle Eastern Arabic speaking adults in the United States, approximately 30% of Arabs and 50% of Muslims reported discrimination in the eight months after September 11. Mosques and Muslim-owned businesses were vandalized, and individuals Muslim in appearance were verbally abused, physically assaulted, and, in some cases, murdered. And, as last week's arrests of extremist Christian militia members in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana have shown, the hate continues. Every week incidents of an anti-Muslim nature occur.U.S. governmental policies have also targeted Muslims and Arabs and their community organizations. Muslim civic and religious organizations have been raided by the FBI, Muslim charities have had their assets frozen, and racial profiling has occurred at airports and on the streets. Further coloring the social environment are the U.S.-led wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. These wars may create increased tension between the general American population and people of Afghani and Iraqi ancestry residing in the United States, in addition to increasing psychological distress among the U.S.-based relatives of Iraqis and Afghanis."Padela says those who reported abuse showed a higher probability of having psychological distress, lower levels of happiness and poorer perceptions of health status.What's disturbing about the findings is that residents in greater Detroit live in a large, well-established Arab community, where they might be expected to be protected from abuse, Padela says. Most of the respondents also had access to health insurance."Negative associations of perceived post-911 abuse or discrimination might be much worse in less concentrated Arab populations within the United States," Padela says.Approximately 490,000 Arabs reside in Michigan, and more than 80 percent of those live in metro Detroit's Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties. Arabs are the third largest ethnic population in Michigan, with a history dating back multiple generations. This community is the largest concentration of Arabs outside of the Middle East."I was interested in the health effects that anti-Muslim and anti-Arab abuse and discrimination have had on members of the community," Padela says when asked what motivated him to undertake the work. "There is little to no work on this, but we know from other populations (such as African Americans) that racial and ethnic discrimination have deleterious health effects." Padela was surprised that there were no differential effects on Muslims."Once people experienced abuse and/or discrimination the health effects were similar in Muslims and non-Muslims. One would think that Muslims might have worse health effects because the anti-Muslim sentiments were so strong, but that was not the case."Racial and ethnic abuse and discrimination can have lasting effects, and many of those afflicted may not be seeking adequate care, Padela says. Some may fear racial or ethnic discrimination from health care providers, he says.Others may worry about the stigma of admitting to a mental health problem, made worse by a culture that historically has not fully accepted mental illness, Padela says.The lesson here? "We need better screening for these conditions. Those who take care of Muslims and/or Arabs need to ask their patients about their psychological distress and whether they feel discriminated against and/or abused. Once we screen we can then suggest strategies to deal with the problems and we can talk about it. We also need Arab and Muslim community organizations to partner with health systems to address this social context of discrimination and abuse." "Untreated psychological distress leads you to do something bad, like smoking, drinking, or other unhealthy responses. It becomes a vicious cycle," Padela says. "We may be missing an entire spectrum of people who are most stigmatized.""We know that anti-Arab and anti-Muslim hate crimes are still higher than they were pre-9/11," Padela says. "Years after, we think this is over. But not only is it not over, it's having negative health consequences and we're not doing anything to address it."The study was funded with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Clinical Scholars program.

9 Things to Know About Our Historic Expansion
May 2, 2019 | Rau Staff
In 2015, we had the great fortune to acquire an extraordinary building adjacent to our gallery in the French Quarter. To be clear, these types of buildings don't go on the market often around here…much less one right next door. We couldn't let that opportunity pass us by. So, imagine our good fortune when the sister to that building came on the market in 2016! We knew that something special was in our future!
We were well aware that the massive renovation…and restoration…of these historically important buildings would be challenging. But we only had to walk through their rooms to see the incredible potential. We hired top-notch partners who have helped us navigate the many challenges of undergoing a historic renovation in the heart of the French Quarter. Palmisano worked as the Design-Build partner along with award-winning architecture firm, Office of Jonathan Tate, and retail specialist and branding expert, Scott Truitt.
It's taken over four years of dreaming and planning, along with careful navigation of numerous regulations and complex logistics, to realize our vision of a true showplace to house our collections. And now, we are counting the days until we can show these French Quarter gems off to the public!
So, with just a few months of finishing touches ahead of us, we thought we would share a few facts that make these buildings extra special.
1. The Great Fire of 1794
These two buildings sit on the very site where the Great Fire of December 8, 1794 broke out just as the city was recovering from another devastating blaze in 1788. The fire was reportedly started by a group of children who were playing with flint. Encouraged by a strong north wind, the fire quickly spread to a neighboring warehouse filled with hay which quickly ignited. In less than 3 hours, 212 buildings in the French Quarter were destroyed. Among the only buildings to survive the fire were the city's iconic St. Louis Cathedral, the Ursuline Convent, the U.S. Customs House and what is now Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop.
A "new" city rose from those ashes and was best described by noted New Orleans historian Lyle Saxon: "The city that fell before the flames was a congested French community of wooden houses, badly arranged and irregular. A stately Spanish city rose in its stead[…]."
2. The Finest in the French Quarter
Built by Dr. Isadore Labatut in 1831, our two identical, three-story brick buildings are quintessential examples of 1800s Creole architecture, making them historically important in the French Quarter. Following a 1964 survey of the property, the local city newspaper, The Times-Picayune, published an article in which these buildings were cited as "among the finest buildings in the Vieux Carre (French Quarter)." We couldn't agree more!
3. Staying True to the Original
From the very beginning, we knew we wanted to preserve the beautiful and historic features of these wonderful buildings when rehabilitating the properties for their new, modern use. Traditional carriage entrances, stunning arched openings and gorgeous French doors were defining features of these classic Creole cottages and they have been carefully restored to maintain their historic character. The entire façade of each building has been restored to the original state. Doors, stairs, banisters and windows that are original to the buildings have been retained and painstakingly restored. In fact, the buildings features almost a dozen fireplaces with original mantels that have all been restored to their original grandeur.
4. Going Up?
You asked, and we listened! A new elevator has been installed giving all visitors easy access to the 2nd and 3rd-floor galleries. We knew that installing an elevator was essential for the new space, but determining where to put it was one of the biggest design challenges we encountered. We must have drawn it in 20 different spots, with as many different configurations. Ultimately, we placed it in a visible location toward the front of the new building. Our operations team has continued to express their gratitude for this newest "modern" addition!
5. Our Own Master Craftsmen
If you've visited our current gallery at 630 Royal Street, you may have seen our beautiful, mahogany-clad library. But, did you know, that our much-beloved library was built by our own talented, in-house restoration team? We've enlisted their expertise again to build much of the gorgeous casework and display cabinets found throughout the new buildings. Cabinets and floating pedestals are being constructed to display many of our smaller items such as silver, porcelain, glass and objets d'art.
6. The Main Entrance
After almost 70 years, we're moving the gallery's main entrance. When renovations are complete, the main entrance to M.S. Rau will move from 630 Royal Street to 616-624 Royal Street, and the expansion will give us a 100-foot linear presence along Royal Street.

7. The Classic French Quarter Courtyard
Creole Families of New Orleans (1921), by Grace Kelly, p. 431
From the street, it's hard to imagine the lavish courtyards tucked behind the brick and stone walls of almost every French Quarter home and business. They are the hidden treasures of the city, but most, unfortunately, are off limits to the public. In the 18th and 19th centuries, when the Vieux Carré was dominated by French and Spanish Creoles, these courtyards functioned as practical spaces for loading and unloading carriages, carrying out the domestic duties of the home or just for cooling off from the stifling heat of summer.
Our new buildings house two of these wonderful historic courtyards and we have decided to share this piece of French Quarter charm with our guests. If visitors need to take a break from exploring the gallery's many treasures, they can find some fresh air and relaxation in one of our lovely, completely restored courtyards.
8. A Facelift for 630 Royal Street
Once the renovation is complete and the new gallery spaces are open, we will turn our attention to our current space. The next phase in our expansion will be to renovate the ground floor of 630 Royal Street. Plans are being drawn to create a new space for our growing staff. This phase II renovation will put our team in closer proximity to each other instead of having them scattered throughout the expansive gallery.
The most exciting change will happen in our Jewelry department. We have plans to almost quadruple the size of our current jewelry footprint, giving us much more space to showcase even more rare and important jewels.
9. When renovations are complete, the addition will nearly double the size of our gallery.
With the addition of the new buildings, we will double our showroom from around 25,000 sq. ft. to nearly 50,000 sq. ft. The most exciting part of this expansion is that we will finally be able to exhibit our paintings, sculpture and antiques in the way they deserve without the spatial limitations of our current space. Everything will have more breathing room, allowing customers to focus on one special piece at a time.
We hope you will make plans to visit us in New Orleans this Fall to help us celebrate this amazing renovation. We will keep you posted on our progress.
Follow along with our renovation journey with pictures documenting every step of the process from excavation to the finishing touches. See our progress.

Red Cain from Alberta, Canada are an eclectic mix of metals sub genres. From progressive, cinematic, symphony along with a touch of Goth. Red Cain have produced a superb CD & the 2 year hiatus has served them well.
Taking their inspirations from such bands as Symphony X & Alter Bridge, the release has 4 tracks & 24 minutes of technically brilliant music.
The first released track & 3rd on the record is Hiraeth which is a fairly good example of what this band is capable of.
Samuel Royce has some technical drum patterns which are evident throughout the entire 24 minuetes. But they are quiet simply ridiculous (in a good way) on the track Dead Aeon Requiem which not only shows off the drummers ability but also the vocal prowess of Evgeniy Zayarny.
Rogans bass playing sits really well alongside Samuels drums & adds a 2nd dimension of technicality the dificulties. The bass runs are insane & this can be experienced on the opener Guillotine.
The added orchestration from William Lancaster just breathes life into what is already a magical experience.
Nicks guitar sound is not only overdriven but is also also clear enough to hear what he's playing.
This is a nice slice of Gothica. They're a band well worth supporting.

Charles, Providence, Rhode Island facts for kids
Providence neighborhoods with Charles in red
Charles is a neighborhood in northern Providence, Rhode Island. Along with Wanskuck, it comprises what is sometimes referred to as the North End. To the west Charles is partitioned from Wanskuck by Route 146, while the Chad Brown public housing complex separates Charles from Smith Hill to the south, and the West River and Interstate 95 bounds the area to the east. The city limits abutting the city of North Providence bound Charles to the north.
Until Wanskuck Road (now Branch Avenue) was completed in 1706, Charles's lack of connections to the more developed part of Providence kept the area sparsely populated. In 1765, the isolated North End (of which Charles is a part) was annexed to the neighboring town of North Providence. By the 19th century, the improvement in infrastructure and proximity to the West River caused corporations such as the Silver Spring Bleaching and Dyeing Company to move to the area. With the new industry came an influx of immigrants and an increase in demand for housing stock. By the end of the century the neighborhood was filled with one and two family homes of Irish, English, German, Scottish, and Italian immigrant families, with the largest presence found of the latter. This rapid growth and development were among the factors that lead North Providence to return the North End to Providence in 1874.
The neighborhood's connection to the rest of Providence improved further with streetcar service in 1895. By the 1930s, Charles was densely settled by the working and middle class.
In the latter half of the 20th century, much industry declined and withdrew from the region, though the effects have been somewhat mitigated by Providence's attempts to market part of the area as an industrial park.
For the most part, Charles remains a primarily residential and commercial neighborhood. Homeownership, unemployment, and income levels remain steady and the neighborhood remains predominantly white with 52.7% of occupants claiming Italian ancestry. 16% of residents are Hispanic and 8% are African-American. One in three children under the age of six speaks a language other than English as their primary language.
The median family income is $36,966, above the city-wide average of $32,058. 16% of households live in poverty and 7% of households receive some form of public assistance.
The Charles neighborhood includes four green spaces:
Ascham Field - a 1.72-acre (7,000 m2) athletic filed.
Hopkins Square - a 1-acre (4,000 m2) plaza at the corner of Branch Avenue and Charles Street. The square includes a statue of Esek Hopkins.
Prete-Metcalf Field - an 11.36-acre (46,000 m2) area of athletic fields and walking trails
St Ann's Plaza - a small plaza at the corner of Branch Avenue and Hawkins Street.
There is also a preserve, the Canada Pond Management area, in the northwest corner of Charles. The preserve extends into North Providence, Rhode Island.

As of Friday, November 5th - here are the New York Time's top 10 bestseller's for Children's / YA. While many are repeat contestants - I won't torture any of you by embellishing on Justin Bieber's autobiography, that has been on the charts for the past 3 weeks.
But I'll say that seeing THE BOOK THIEF still on the chart for over 164 weeks, makes it all better.


Welcome to the That Works For Me Heroes blog series!
As you may have gathered, we are deeply passionate about flexible working and bringing work-life balance to people's lives. The benefits speak for themselves. For people – better health and happier families. For businesses – better cultures and improved financial performance.
I recently met Joeli Brearley at Pregnant Then Screwed Live in London and not only is she a hero of mine in the professional sense but she is also a really lovely and warm individual. You know when you meet someone and they make you feel great about yourself? She's one of those. She also has a very entertaining Instagram Account!
Joeli is founder of Pregnant Then Screwed, an incredible organisation "working to end the motherhood penalty". They run a free legal advice line, a mentor scheme for women taking legal action against an employer and a flexible working helpline. They lobby the government for legislative change, organise events to help mums find work that works for them, support mums to start a career in politics, and document the stories of mothers who encounter workplace discrimination. They also have my favourite tagline ever – "together we will stop women getting screwed for using their uterus" – is there anything not to love?!
They also run incredible events. I attended Pregnant Then Screwed live earlier this year and left feeling empowered and buoyant having met some very inspiring people and attending some really useful talks and workshops. These events are fantastic for motivation, advice and guidance, as well as community building. This is particularly apt if you have recently had a baby and need support. Having to deal with risk of redundancy or changes to your job during a time when, if you're anything like me, a little lost and not feeling at your most confident is really, really hard. Thank goodness there are people like this out there to help.
As if this isn't enough, one of the things we love most about Joeli Brearley and Pregnant Then Screwed is their attitude to flexible working and the advice they provide if you're submitting a request to your employer. Whilst I have written my own guide on things to think about, these gals and guys will arm you with all the legal information you need to stand the best chance of succeeding.
What truly makes Joeli our hero though is that she not only talks about issues (loudly and proudly!) but she takes action. She has lobbied the government on a number of issues, most recently petitioning to increase the time limit to raise a tribunal claim against your employer from its' current three months; and to stop non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) being used by powerful employers to cover up the appalling treatment of some of their staff. They are both up for discussion now and have the backing of MP's – 103 have already signed their early day motion to extend the time limit to raise a tribunal claim.
The That Works For Me heroes award might not be the most exciting award Joeli will receive this week, or even this year, but we want her (and you!) to know that we love her! We haven't mentioned the hundreds of women she has helped, inspired and supported, but we know they are out there.
If we had a medal, Joeli Brearley, it would be yours. Instead, we have flowers! And they're on their way to you! Thank you for inspiring us.


Is it rude to blow your nose at the table?
It's OK to blow your nose at the table — with a few stipulations.
It's probably a lot ruder to let snot drip down your face during the salad course.
We kid. As you might imagine, etiquette experts have a lot to say about how we treat our noses in public. From blowing to sniffing to snorting to picking (or as Miss Manners puts it, "cleaning"), there's both a polite and a horrifying approach to nearly every nostril-related activity. None of these experts advocate for a thorough nose-honking at the table, but none of them seem to be interested in letting mucous drip during dessert, either. So what to do if you're stuck at the table with a leaking nose?
First, a word about table manners in general. Etiquette is a social construction and thus isn't something we inherently understand. (And it certainly isn't something we inherently follow, either.) The European Middle Ages, for example, left no records of rules about when and where to blow one's nose. It appears that while there might be ceremony for feasts, individual table manners were eschewed for a free-for-all of eating and drinking, with maybe a cursory thought to keeping tidy in the process. In fact, it was only during the Renaissance that table manners became a nicety that marked high society [source: Jones].
So let's not be too harsh on each other for not knowing exactly when we can or can't blow our noses. It's hard, after all, to keep track of social customs. And let's remember, customs are flexible among cultures. The Japanese culture, for instance, frowns on blowing your nose in public, period. But don't assume you'll commit a horrible blunder if you do, because there's still perspective — in most cultures — reminding us that not every social faux pas is a gigantic deal.
So let's get back to our topic at hand. Blowing your nose at the table is probably unnecessary, at best, because in most circumstances you can easily excuse yourself and take care of business out of earshot. If you find yourself in the situation where a quick wipe is needed to avert a dripping nose, you're not going to cause a scandal by blotting at your nose at the table. But let's get one thing straight: A handkerchief is the best tool for the job. Wiping your nose on napkins provided — intended to wipe your mouth only — is far less desirable. Miss Manners advises carrying a handkerchief at all times, but how common is that? Maybe consider packing one if you have a cold or at least some tissues that can be quickly and easily tucked away [source: Martin].
Is it rude to break up with someone in public?

Buri (12??-12??) was de oudste zoon van Chagatai en Ebuskun en een kleinzoon van Genghis Khan.

Hij was een van de vier leiders van de veroveringen van Batu Khan in Rusland, Polen en Hongarije. Hij kreeg echter, samen met zijn neef Güyük, hevig aan de stok met Batu, doordat zij vonden dat Batu niet het recht had tijdens een feestmaal als eerste te klinken. Dit leidde tot een hevige ruzie, waarbij Batu door Buri en Güyük voor oude vrouw met een baard werd uitgemaakt. Hierna verlieten de twee neven Batu's tent.

Toen Ögedei, de heersende khagan, dit hoorde, werd hij zeer kwaad op Buri en Güyük, wiens vader hij was. Hij beval deze terug te gaan naar Batu om zich te verontschuldigen en vroeg Buri zich bij zijn vader Chagatai te verantwoorden. Dit gebeurde en Buri kreeg van Chagatai te horen dat hij verkeerd gehandeld had en werd gestraft.

De broers en neven van Buri werden de khans van het Khanaat van Chagatai.

Public comment period on bump stock reclassification closes
The ATF closed the public comment period on bump stocks as it prepares to reexamine the device's classification under federal law. (Photo: Slide Fire Solutions/Facebook)
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives closed the public comment period on bump stocks Thursday as the agency prepares to re-examine the controversial device's classification under federal law.
Bump stocks made headlines Oct. 1 when a lone gunman modified at least a dozen rifles with the accessory and sprayed bullets into a crowded music festival on the Las Vegas strip, killing 58 and wounding some 850 others.
The deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history stirred the gun control debate on Capitol Hill, with leaders on both sides of the aisle — including House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, and Attorney General Jeff Sessions — calling for the ATF review bump stocks and reconsider a ban.
Even the National Rifle Association pressured the agency into revisiting its intial 2010 ruling, telling cable media hosts the ATF "needs to do its job."
"ATF needs to look and if there's technology that's come to the market that allow for a semi-automatic rifle to function as a fully-automatic rifle, they need to be regulated differently," Chris Cox, NRA's lobbying director, told Fox News during an interview in October. "We didn't talk about banning anything. We talked about ATF going back and reviewing whether or not these are in compliance with federal law."
The agency published an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register last month, seeking public comment from manufacturers, retailers and consumers about bump stocks and similar devices.
"This ANPRM is the initial step in a regulatory process to interpret the definition of machine gun to clarify whether certain bump stock devices fall within that definition," the agency said. "If, in a subsequent rulemaking, the definition of machine gun under section 5845 (b) is interpreted to include certain bump stock devices, ATF would then have a basis to re-examine its prior classification and rulings."
Although the devices existed in relative obscurity prior to the shooting, the ATF knows bump stocks well. In 2010, Texas-based bump stock manufacturer Slide Fire Solutions sought a determination from the agency regarding their product's classification under the Gun Control Act of 1968 and the National Firearms Act of 1934.
At the time, ATF deemed bump stocks as nothing more than an unregulated accessory — not a machine gun, or capable of converting a semi-automatic firearm into a fully automatic fireram, either. Rick Vasquez, the now retired agent who made the call eight years ago, stood by his decision in an Oct. 7 Facebook statement.
"The Slide Fire does not fire automatically with a single pull/function of the trigger," he said, noting the single pull trigger remains integral to the definition of a machine gun. "It is designed to reciprocate back and forth from the inertia of the fired cartridge. When firing a weapon with a Slide Fire, the trigger finger sits on a shelf and the trigger is pulled into the trigger finger. Once the rifle fires the weapon, due to the push and pull action of the stock and rifle, the rifle will reciprocate sufficiently to recock and reset the trigger. It then reciprocates forward and the freshly cocked weapon fires again when the trigger strikes the finger on its forward travel."
The Firearms Policy Coalition — and other gun rights groups — said the ATF's initial determination should stand. The organization submitted comments last week to the agency detailing its "strong opposition" to reclassifying bump stocks under federal law.
"This troubling ANPRM raises serious constitutional concerns, including the violation of the separation of powers, abdication or improper delegation of authority, violation of fundamental rights guaranteeing citizens due process, protection against discriminatory and arbitrary enforcement of vague laws, and violation of the Takings Clause," said Brandon Combs, president of the FPC. "Not to mention an affront to the fundamental, individual Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. Should the Department of Justice and BATFE pursue this attempt to unlawfully and unconstitutionally exceed their statutory authority through regulatory efforts like this targeting these non-firearm devices, FPC (and almost certainly many others) will be forced to seek judicial relief."

Q: New to iPhone SDK: touchesBegan not called I created a very very basic iPhone app with File/New Projet/View-Based application.
No NIB file there.
Here is my appDelegate
.h
    @interface MyAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate> {
    UIWindow *window;
    MyViewController *viewController;
}

.m
    - (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {

    // Override point for customization after app launch
    [window addSubview:viewController.view];
    [window makeKeyAndVisible];
}

And here is my loadView method in my controller
 - (void)loadView {
 CGRect mainFrame = [[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame];
 UIView *contentView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:mainFrame];
 contentView.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
 self.view = contentView;
 [contentView release];
}

Now, in order to catch the touchesBegan event, I created a new subclass of UIView:
.h
@interface TouchView : UIView {
}

.m
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
 NSLog(@"Touch detected");

}

and modified the second line in my loadView into this :
 TouchView *contentView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:mainFrame];

Why is touchesBegan never called?

A: If you change the loadView into this:
TouchView *contentView = [[TouchView alloc] initWithFrame:mainFrame];

You should have no problem catching the touches in TouchView. In your code, you didn't create a TouchView instance, you created a UIView instance.

A: Found the solution : touchesBegan gets called on the viewController, not on the view...

The London Common Law & Commercial Bar Association established in 2014 the Jonathan Brock QC Memorial Essay Prize in honour of our past chairman Jonathan Brock QC who tragically died in July 2007 just short of his 55th birthday. Jonny, as he was known to his many friends, was a well-known and widely-liked character at the Bar and an excellent trial advocate. He was always a strong supporter of young talent making this competition particularly pertinent. The Essay Prize has been set up, with the active and continuing support of his widow Lindsey Brock, as a mark of respect and affection in place of the annual Brock Memorial Lectures, and we are delighted to promote this Competition for the fifth year.
The 2018 competition has now closed. The winners will be announced at the AGM.


The charges are connected to a Waynesboro stabbing and shooting, which occurred in April 2016.
The 25-year sentence a federal judge imposed this week on a Waynesboro man for drug trafficking and firearms possessions offenses will ultimately, in practice, be little more than a technicality.
Anthony Michael Cobb, 49, was sentenced Wednesday, Feb. 6 by United States District Judge Sylvia Rambo to 300 months in prison followed by a six-year term of supervised release, according to a news release from the Department of Justice.
A federal jury in April convicted Cobb of three counts of unlawful possession of five separate firearms and of being a previously convicted felon who was not permitted to possess firearms. In addition, the jury found him guilty of possession with intent to distribute cocaine, crack cocaine and heroin.
Cobb is already serving a 41- to 100-year sentence at the state prison in Camp Hill for attempted murder and related charges of which a Franklin County jury found him guilty in June, according to the news release and court records. The federal judge ordered Cobb's 25-year sentence to run concurrently with his current sentence, meaning he will not serve additional time.
Cobb's federal and local cases both stem from an April 2016 shooting.
As Public Opinion previously reported, police said Cobb attempted to shoot a man who pulled a knife on him during a fight, then recruited two other men to go find him. Those men, however, went after the wrong person and one of them shot that person.
That May, police searched Cobb's apartment and found a firearm, marijuana, cocaine, crack, heroin, an assortment of prescription pills, digital scales, plastic bags, razor blades and piles of cash, the department said. Police also located firearms at his storage unit.
While local authorities charged him for the shooting and related events, federal authorities took up the drug and gun charges.
In imposing the federal sentence, the judge found Cobb to be an "armed career criminal" and a "career offender," according to the release.
The case was brought as part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, which is a program that has been historically successful in bringing together all levels of law enforcement to reduce violent crime and make neighborhoods safer. It was also part of a district-wide initiative to combat the nationwide epidemic regarding the use and distribution of heroin.

John Bell – The Irish Connection
Published by Andrew Whitaker on August 28, 2014
Andrew Whitaker (Queen's University Belfast)
Submitted to "Quantum Nonlocality and Reality – 50 Years of Bell's theorem".
John Bell lived in Ireland for only 21 years, but throughout his life he remembered his Irish upbringing with fond memories, pride and gratitude.
Ireland has a very respectable tradition in physics, and particularly mathematical physics (McCartney and Whitaker 2003). As early as the eighteenth century, Robert Boyle is usually given credit for establishing the experimental tradition in physics (More 1944, Conant 1970). Through the nineteenth century, luminaries such as William Rowan Hamilton (Hankins1980), James MacCullagh (O'Hara 2003), Thomas Andrews (Burns 2003), George Francis FitzGerald (Weaire, 2008, Weaire 2009) and Joseph Larmor (Warwick 2003) all made very important contributions to the establishment of physics as an intellectual discipline in its own right, while it should not be forgotten that although the academic careers of George Gabriel Stokes (Wilson 1987), William Thomson [Lord Kelvin] (Smith and Wise 1989) and John Tyndall (Brock et al 1981) were spent in England or Scotland, all had Irish origins which they never forgot.
An important aspect of Irish mathematical physics in the nineteenth century was the existence of the so-called Irish tradition studying the wave theory of light and the ether. It was a tradition that was to be important for John Bell and it was to transcend what may be described as the most important event in nineteenth century physics – John Clerk Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism, and his conclusion that light was an electromagnetic wave (Flood et al 2014). The work of MacCullagh and Hamilton was performed in the 1830s and 1840s, while Maxwell's mature work was not to emerge until the 1860s.

As explored in "40 Faces of Death: A Grim Reaper Gallery," humans are all about personifying mortality. We give it a form. We make it into an outside thing that happens to our bodies rather than something our bodies simply do over time. And as we explored in our podcast episode "The Problem of Immortality," this quest to defeat death creeps its way into everything we do.
It's deep, heavy stuff -- which is why I love the absurdity of this Victorian medical trade card for Hunt's Remedy, "The Great Kidney & Liver Medicine." The medication was supposed cure "dropsy and all diseases of the kidneys, bladder, liver and urinary organs" and was "never known to fail."
Of course it wasn't. Let's watch as our hero uses a bottle of the stuff to brain the Grim Reaper himself, who is thus far truly never known to fail in his duties.


Heart valve replacement refers to procedures aimed at replacing your own heart valve, rather than repairing your own valve. If a surgeon cannot repair a heart valve, the valve is removed and replaced with an artificial (prosthetic) valve by sewing it into the remaining tissue from the natural valve. Throughout the world, 95% of all valve replacements are performed for mitral or aortic valves. The mitral valve is positioned in the heart´s left side, between the left upper chamber (left atrium) and the left lower chamber (left ventricle). The aortic valve separates the left ventricle from the aorta (which carries blood to the body).
A mechanical valve is carefully designed to mimic the native heart valve. It has a ring, like your own natural heart valve, to support the leaflets. Like your own heart valve, the mechanical valve opens and closes with each heartbeat, permitting proper blood flow through the heart. To prevent any blood clots from developing on the valve, which can cause complications, a mechanical valve replacement requires you to take anticoagulation medicine (blood thinners) daily. The dosage of this medication is different for each person, so you will be closely monitored to make sure you are on the correct dosage for you. Regular blood tests will be performed at the physician's office, an anticoagulation clinic, or at home with a specialized testing kit.
The tissue valve is a native valve taken from an animal. Once the tissue is explanted (removed), it is chemically treated and prepared for human use. Some tissue valves have a frame, or stent, that supports the valve, and some valves are stentless (no framework). A very thin polyester mesh cuff is sewn around the outside of the valve for easier implantation. Eliminating the stent makes it possible for the surgeon to implant a larger valve. Larger valves generally provide more surface area for blood flow; this allows more blood to flow through the valve to accommodate the body's needs.
A homograft or allograft is a human valve obtained from a donor. This type of valve is particularly beneficial for pregnant women and children, because it does not require long-term anticoagulation therapy. In addition, it can provide excellent hemodynamic performance, allowing for natural function of the surrounding structures. Because the availability of these valves depends on donors, supply is limited.
For your heart valve surgery, a highly qualified team of medical personnel works together to ensure the safest possible procedure. An anesthesiologist will examine and talk to you about the surgery and medications that will be used during the procedure. A perfusionist will operate the heart-lung machine that keeps oxygenated blood circulating through the body while the heart is stilled so that surgery can be performed on it. There are other specialized surgical assistants and nurses that assist and closely monitor your condition.
Before the surgery, you will receive an intravenous (IV) line in your arm or hand. This will enable your doctor to administer medications and fluids. You will be asked to remove any jewelry, contact lenses or eyeglasses, hearing aids, and dentures. Your doctor will probably give you a mild sedative in your IV prior to the procedure.
With improvement in technology and surgical techniques, there has been continued reduction in complications associated with open-heart surgery. Still, every open-heart surgery entails some risk. Though rare, some of the potential complications include infection, bleeding, stroke, and heart attack.
Ask your physician if you have any questions about potential risks or if you have more questions about heart valve repair.
You will be fully anesthetized before your heart surgery begins. The surgeon then will make an incision down the center of the chest, separating the breastbone in order to gain access to your heart. In order to operate on the heart, it must be still. To accomplish this, the heart-lung machine is used to take over the job of the heart and the lungs. A special tube is placed in your right atrium. This tube carries blood from the body to the machine, which oxygenates the blood. The machine then pumps the oxygenated blood through another tube that has been placed into the aorta to circulate the blood back through the body. The term bypass is often used to describe this method of bypassing the heart and lungs.
The surgeon then makes another incision in the heart or aorta and removes the damaged valve. The new replacement valve is properly positioned and sewn into place. The incisions in the heart are then closed (sewn); the heart-lung machine is withdrawn; and the heart is started again to circulate blood through the lungs and body. The breastbone is rejoined with wires and the incision closed.
The procedure outlined here is a conventional, open-chest procedure for valve replacement surgery. Recent technology has allowed surgeons to perform valve replacement or repair with less invasive techniques. This is not always an option and depends on whether the facility has the technology available. In some cases, the specific nature of the repair needed cannot be performed using the less invasive technology, and conventional surgery is required. The less invasive approach will most likely involve a shorter procedure time, reduced hospital stay, and quicker recovery.
After surgery, you will be placed in the intensive care unit (ICU) where you can be continuously monitored. Breathing during surgery, and for a while afterwards, is assisted through a tube that has been placed down your throat and positioned in your lungs. You will probably wake up with this tube still in position. It is removed as soon as you are stable and awake enough to breathe on your own. You will not be able to talk while this tube is in place. Other tubes will protrude from your chest near the heart to drain extra blood and fluid from the surgical area. Intravenous lines give fluid, blood, and medications as needed. A bladder catheter drains urine. A monitor shows the heart rate, heart rhythm, blood pressure, and other special pressures and waves that the nursing staff watches closely to assess how the recovery is going. Medications are given as needed to ease pain and anxiety.
Every patient recovers at a different rate. Tubes are removed as recovery progresses. The ICU stay is usually a day or two. Then you will be moved to a cardiac medical-surgical floor where your heart is still continually monitored, but you can be more independent and active. The health care team continues to support and instruct you in recovery care, rehabilitation, medications, nutrition, and other needs.
