My daughter is running a fever for 3days,she is eating,playing..but the fever doesn't go down,i gave her Tylenol every 4hours,it helps but just temporarily,the fever is between 98 F and 102F.i don't know what to do any advice please?
Go to the doctor!! 3rd day of my do a fever I took him in last week to find out he had walking pneumonia! That's why he was up playing!!! So just take him in, u'll feel better ever if its just a bug.
If there is a fever her body is trying to fight off something. I say if she is acting fine other than that then it is probably an infection that needs to be taken care of. I would go ahead and call the doctor.
This could be an ear infection, my son would do the same thing until he finally told me his ear was marching. This gave me the only clue. The hospital normally doesn't advise no med's until the fever goes past 98 F. I am like you, normally only Tylenol but for one time in between give a small dose of Motrin and see if it some type of infection. Hope this helps.
If she's been running a fever for three days and it hasn't gone down you should go to the pediatrician.
My daughter is 4,she is running a fever for 3days,she is acting well,but the fever didn't go away,I gave her Tylenol but it helps just for few hours.She is having a fever without any other symptoms.Any advice please?
Fever of 104 (40.1 Celsius) in toddler.

A widowed father of three received an early Father's Day gift, winning the 19th annual Geelong Father of the Year Award last Friday.
Justin Trotter, who was nominated by his youngest son Harvey, beat hundreds of other men from across the region to take out the top award.
Nine-year-old Harvey Trotter nominated his father Justin for the Geelong Father of the Year Award, believing that his dad was an obvious pick to take out the top prize. Inspired by his father's resilience and the support he provided to him and his brothers (aged 13 and 16) following the tragic passing of their mother Tina in 2015, Harvey wrote that Justin is more than just a dad he is a "hero."
The Grade 3 St Anthony's Primary School Student wrote a touching nomination, lovingly describing his father as a caring, selfless and inspiring person reflecting the type of positive male role model this Award seeks to acknowledge.
Mr Trotter was announced as the overall winner at a breakfast event held at the Geelong Football Club which was attended by almost 300 business and community representatives.
As well as the announcement of the Award winner, guests were treated to appearances by former tennis champ, author and family violence awareness ambassador, Jelena Dokic, as guest speaker, and Ian Cover (of ABC's Coodabeen Champions fame) as master of ceremonies.
The Geelong Father of the Year Award is a long-standing partnership between Bethany Community Support, the Rotary Club of Geelong and the Geelong Advertiser and celebrates the importance of positive male role models in families and the community, as seen through the eyes of children. In addition, it helps to raise awareness of Bethany's services for men.
All primary school-aged children in Geelong and surrounding areas are encouraged to make a nomination by explaining why they think their special bloke deserves to be Geelong's Father of the Year.
This year Bethany received hundreds of nominations from primary school students from Geelong and surrounding towns, including Ocean Grove, Lara, Batesford and Colac. Nominations are accepted for all types of male role models, including fathers, step-fathers, grandfathers, brothers and teachers.
Entries were scrutinised by a judging panel who narrowed the list down to four finalists.

Lake Allatoona is a manmade lake near Atlanta that serves as a drinking water reservoir for more than 400,000 people in northwest Georgia. The SWAPs, sponsored by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division, help local water suppliers identify, assess and find ways to better manage potential contaminant sources that might impact drinking water intakes and provide the public with the collected information.
According to LAPA General Manager Ron Papaleoni, an eight-county, 1,100 square-mile watershed assessment area has been delineated (currently, about 80 percent of the state's population is served by surface water systems).
"As Atlanta's population continues to grow, it's important that a suitable potable water supply is available," Pearce said. "Our scientific analyses of the potential contaminant sources within the watershed area will help ensure this."
Results of the analyses will be published and will also be posted on the LAPA Web site, http://www.allatoona.org.
Papaleoni added that community involvement is important to the program's success.
"We encourage people interested in their drinking water to attend meetings and get involved in making sure we have clean drinking water now and for our children's generation," he said.

Let's just face it – I am a terrible blogger.
Not that my blog posts aren't well-written, thoughtful, and meaningful (and humble), but when it comes to any kind of schedule or regular uploading, the entire thing just falls apart.
It's embarrassing, really. I mean, I blog for a living. Then again, anyone who has a job that requires them to do something they might do on their own probably knows this feeling: when it becomes work, it can stop being fun.
Anyway, in other news, I've decided to really step up my meditation practice. And by decided to, I mean I've been meditating more, and I'd like to see if I can continue to work it into my day-to-day life. This afternoon it was a practical thing – I found myself with a head/eye ache, and I've discovered that one of the best things I can do in such instances is lie down with a warm beanbag over my eyes. Since I'm physically incapable of lying still and doing nothing, I decided to pull up a short meditation.
Along with my interest in meditation – which isn't new, by the way, just resurfacing for the umpteenth time – I'm considering attending some Shambhala Buddhism meditations and information sessions in the city. I first heard about this community when I interned at a magazine in Halifax that is published by them, and the tenets of Buddhism have always appealed to and intrigued me. I'm sure my experiences there will be a future blog post!
Ok, there we go. Day 1 of the 14-Day Blogging Challenge (let's just say) is complete. Here's to two weeks of dedication!

Michael assisted our Teambuilding Exercise back in 2011, and he proved to be an excellent motivator!
Some phrases and recommendations delivered still resonate. I would truly recommend his work and effort in shaping up any common goal and corporate ambition.
On behalf of CIIM, many thanks for your insightful and inspirational presentation to our MBA class.

Arla investment of €38m in new whey plant
Sep 2, 2014, 8:08am
Leading European dairy processor Arla has announced that it is to invest €38m in a new whey-focused manufacturing plant, which is to be built next to Arla Foods Ingredients' existing whey protein facility in Videbæk, Denmark, where Arla Foods Ingredients is also in the process of building a new lactose plant.
The new plant will produce Hydrolysate, which is an important ingredient in products for infants with allergy, and products designed for sports and clinical nutrition purposes.
The new factory triples Arla's capacity to produce whey protein hydrolysates. This expansion is part of the strategic initiatives to accelerate growth in Arla Foods Ingredients and prepare Arla Foods for a future increase in raw milk intake from its owner farmers.
Construction of the new plant is scheduled to be complete by October 2015 and the site will be operational towards the end of 2016.
Henrik Andersen, CEO of Arla Foods Ingredients, says: "When we speak with our customers they make it clear that whey protein hydrolysates are a very big part of their future plans and they are keen to work with companies who can guarantee ongoing security of supply. The investment in this factory sends out a very strong signal that Arla Foods Ingredients will continue to be at the vanguard of the hydrolysates sector and that we will be able to satisfy demand while adhering to the very strictest quality and safety standards.
"Our new hydrolysates factory in Jutland will ensure we can maintain our position as the world's leading supplier of high quality whey protein ingredients and thereby make a strong contribution to the Arla group and its owners, the milk farmers, says Henrik Andersen.

From timeless tracks to modern classics, here are the best Halloween songs to add to your party playlist this year.
When the music video alone looks could pass for a short horror movie, you know it's a Halloween classic.
Though Simone's rendition is a cover of Jay Hawkins' 1956 original, her haunting voice makes it all the more bewitching.
That one children's party favorite that just can't seem to die.
You can't do Halloween without Rocky Horror, especially if it includes its own dance.
Before its bass line was interpolated by Selena Gomez, this was a perfectly-eerie '70s rock classic.
Once that funky opening riff comes in, it's impossible not to dance—even if you're in costume.
This one's for you, Tim Burton fans.
Only Queen Bey can scare and slay this much at the same time.
Nothing says spook like '90s alternative rock.

The lodge is the perfect starting point for exciting outings at the Hohenstein and for day-trips to the Spitzkoppe or the neighbouring Ameib farm.
The grounds of Hohenstein Lodge belong to the most impressive sceneries of Namibia. The lodge was named after the highest peak of the Erongo mountains, the Hohenstein, on whose bottom it is actually located. The former farm area directly borders on the Damara homeland.
Hohenstein Lodge is the lodge closest to Spitzkoppe. And the famous 'Philipps Cave' rock paintings as well as the 'Bull's Party' granite boulder formations are located just around the corner on the neighboring farm.
The position of the lodge is perfect for self-drive tours between Brandberg and Spitzkoppe as it is located on the southwestern edge of the Erongo mountain range right on the bottom of the impressive Hohenstein massif, approximately 25 km north of Usakos on the D 1935.

Dua Lipa Sparks Controversy By Launching 'Accessible' Clothing Line That Doesn't Carry Sizes Above 16
Michael ReganGetty Images
Singer Dua Lipa announced an exciting, accessible clothing line recently. However, the new fashion line sparked controversy because they only go up to size 16.
According to a report from The Independent, the Dua Lipa plans to debut a clothing line she's collaborating on with H&M brand /Nyden. The styles are slated to hit stores in the fall.
The "One Kiss" singer made her announcement via Twitter. She wrote, "My loves, I have some news for you. I've started designing a capsule collection with @WeAreNyden and I'm bringing four drops with the first one coming out this fall. I'm so excited for you to see these, can't wait!"
Excited fans quickly ran with the news, and they asked Lipa questions about her upcoming clothing line. They wanted to know if the clothing would carry plus sizes and if it would be unisex.
Dua Lipa's response left many fans dismayed at her lack of understanding about what accessibility in clothing actually means. In a post that's since been deleted, she wrote, "Yes, what I've wanted to do with this collection is so that it's universal and accessible for everyone. It goes up to a size 16 UK."
My loves, I have some news for you. I've started designing a capsule collection with @WeAreNyden and i'm bringing 4 drops with the first one coming out this fall. I'm so excited for you to see these CANT WAIT! Love you xxx pic.twitter.com/dOuzsVXpZh
— DUA LIPA (@DUALIPA) May 24, 2018
Lipa told Vogue UK she felt thrilled to design her first clothing line after conquering the pop world. The singer said, "My first love is music, but fashion also plays an important role in my life because I believe it's so vital to self-expression. I look for clothes that reflect strength and fearlessness but also match up to today's fast pace. So I'm excited to be co-creating with /Nyden on my designs – it's going to be a collection that's completely suited to me, both onstage and off, and for my fans."
After learning that the brand only carries up to size 16, some of the singer's fans don't feel the pop singer's new clothing brand will represent them in any way, and it is a massive letdown to them. The fact that a size 16 is the average size in the United Kingdom means that a good portion of her fans might find the clothing unavailable in their sizes.
Fans immediately took her to task asking her if she's out of touch after less than a year of being a star. Still, others explained that larger people enjoyed her music too, and some people attempted to explain the struggle that women face trying to find cute plus sized clothing.
So far, there's no word on if the line may someday include extended sizes. Also, there's no word on the smallest sizes the singer's new brand will stock.

Luxury Watches: A Worthwhile Investment?
by themoneyshed
Today we have a guest post Robbie over at Paternal Damnation. There's nothing they don't know when it comes to making money by selling watches and they've been enough to share some of that info with us!
After the financial crash of 2009, there seems to be a growing trend of people turning to alternative ways to invest their money. Fearing more financial instability in the future, many have instead taken to putting their money into things like Bitcoin, gold, or even barrels of whiskey. One such option I'm often asked about is how viable it is for wristwatches to appreciate in value. As with anything, there's a number of factors to consider.
Historically, Switzerland ruled the luxury watch world. There have always been watches made elsewhere, but generally they would be functional rather than luxury pieces. If you're looking at anything pre-1960, there's little worth in anything that isn't Swiss.
This shouldn't be taken as advice that everything Swiss is valuable. Because Swiss watches became so synonymous with high-quality timepieces around the world, a whole raft of Swiss factories soon popped up to capitalise on the lucrative business. Some of these were obviously better than others, but the sheer number of them meant that many disappeared before they really made a name for themselves.
In the present day, there are three main players for quality wristwatches: Switzerland, Germany and Japan. There are others elsewhere, but the majority of these are Chinese watches rebranded with European-sounding names. A handful of Chinese watch factories though are making great strides at the moment to reverse the reputation of mass-produced watches with poor quality control. They may yet change the perception of the watch-buying public, but it shouldn't be something you'd bank on.
I own a beautiful luxury Swiss watch made by a manufacturer named Milus. It has a military backstory of being part of 'life barter kits' for the US Navy back in World War II. The watches were accompanied by several pieces of gold jewellery in these kits to allow soldiers to bargain for food or even their life with natives of some of the remote islands they found themselves on. The watch is in pristine condition and keeps perfect time. Sounds valuable, eh? How much is it worth? Not much, is the honest answer.
Despite the watch's story and obvious quality, nobody has heard of Milus. If like me, you like watches, this is great, as previously premium timepieces can be picked up for next to nothing. If you're hoping for your watches to appreciate in value though, you need to look toward the brands that people are aware of.
Predictably enough, Rolex is the most sought-after brand amongst collectors. Assuming it's kept in reasonable condition, it's unlikely that a Rolex will lose too much of its value. Certain models have even seen their value rocket in recent times. The Rolex Daytona is the red-hot model of the moment, with vintage pieces pulling in some sensational prices.
It's hard to gauge just which models will become sought-after in the future by collectors. The past dictates that Rolex's sports models fare better than their dressier brethren such as the Datejust though.
The only other brand that gets anywhere near Rolex for its liquidity in terms of being able to sell on, would be Patek Philippe. Less well known than its Swiss counterpart, Patek Philippe is considered one of, if not the finest watchmaker in the world, with its watches usually much more expensive than those of Rolex. If you can afford to part with upwards of £50k on a watch, then a Patek could be an even better option.
Are Ladies Watches Worth Investing In?
To sell a watch, you need to find a collector who wants it. The reality is that there's hardly any female watch collectors around. Even if there were, current trends have seen women wearing men's watches anyway. I've seen countless folk on the internet uncovering beautiful and intricate vintage ladies' watches thinking they've struck gold. They soon find however, that there's no buyers for them.
Could this change? Given the fantastic antique examples you can pick up for next to nothing, you'd expect there to be a boom in antique women's watches just waiting to happen. I tend to think though that if wearing them hasn't taken off over the last ten years whilst buying vintage has been so popular, then it never will.
Unforeseen Trends
Speaking of trends, a danger when investing in watches is how they will be received in the future. Men's watches used to be around 30-32mm in diameter. In the present day however, these would be seen as women's sizes, with popular men's watches hovering between 40-45mm now.
It's a similar story with materials. Whilst gold used to be the metal of choice for cases and bracelets, its popularity has waned dramatically. Bronze seems to be enjoying its moment in the sun at the moment, but steel seems to be a perennially popular choice and should probably be the go-to for anyone buying a watch with plans to sell it on in the future.
Limited/Special Editions
These can sometimes be of value to collectors, but brands like Omega have released so many special editions that they're almost ten-a-penny now. Rolex models with limited runs seem to do well, and for that reason, it might be worth hunting down a green Submariner (known in watch circles as a 'Hulk'), as this colour has just been discontinued.
So is it Worth Investing your Money in Luxury Watches?
In a field with so many variables, it would be very difficult to guarantee any kind of profit from wristwatches. Let's not also forget how popular smartwatches are becoming; a practical wristwatch today could become a quaint curio tomorrow, much in the same way that pocket watches have now become hopelessly antiquated.
If you're already thinking of buying a luxury watch though, and would like it to possibly appreciate in value in the future, your best bets are either a sports Rolex or a Patek Philippe. Neither will guarantee you any profit, but beyond these two options, your odds will decrease exponentially.

Music: Yum-Yum - "Jealous of the Stars"
"Shortbus"
John Cameron Mitchell (writer/director/star of "Hedwig and the Angry Inch") has a new film out called "Shortbus." I caught it this weekend and thought it was pretty good, though nowhere near as hugely awesome as "Hedwig." It's about a handful of New Yorkers (with varying sex issues) that frequent this sort of club/salon called Shortbus where people go to talk about sex, have sex, watch other people have sex, and generally hang out in a partylike environment with other sex-minded people. As the host says, while watching the orgy room with a first timer, "It's like the Sixties, but with less hope!"
The film looks great, from the non-Hollywood cast to the gorgeous miniature handpainted version of New York City that the camera flies across between scenes to the very real-looking (and possibly just plain real) sex scenes.

We were approached by the company behind the Apraise brand of eyelash and eyebrow tints to build a site promoting them.
While the site doesn't sell directly, it needed to provide information for beauty therapists and other businesses.
This included full details about all of the products in the range as well as contact information and details about stockists and training in how to use them.
We designed the site around branding that had already been developed for the products, with a dark look that draws the eye to the products and striking imagery in use throughout the site. We also ensured it was fully responsive, allowing visitors on any playform or screen size to find the information they were seeking quickly and easily.
The site is based on our fuzzylime (cms+) platform. We custom-coded a system to display the products in the desired manner (scrolling between different products of the same type) as well as a contact form to capture information the team at Apraise wished to collect.

Q: Sci-fi series about a parallel world peopled by lizard men, the portal of which was discovered by an alcoholic in his apartment? My sister owned a series of maybe 3 -4 books, written in the 80's, maybe?  It starts out that a middle-aged alcoholic meets a startled lizard guy in his seedy apartment - the lizard guy accidentally opened a portal between their worlds?  The guy is taken to their world, sobered up and ... my memory fails me after this.  There were names with lots of S's - like Jassa?  Jurssa?  Tessa?  Does this ring a bell with anyone?  It's been driving me crazy for years trying to remember, and track the series down!  Any help would be SO appreciated!  Thanks!!!

A: Ward Hawkins's Red Flame Burning is one of the titles in the Guss series. This is a summary of the book:

Harry Borg is an aging alcoholic who is waiting for death when one day a nail appears in the middle of his apartment sticking out of an invisible wall. When the hole caused by the nail is enlarged (from the other side)a nice guy named Guss pops in. Guss is a reptilian humanoid
  who seems to find Harry VERY interesting. One day Harry wakes up to find he is now young, handsome and about to go on an adventure that is out of this world. It seems Guss's people need help. While they are very advanced they have been fighting a war for thousands of years and are starting to lose it. They figure the aggressive human's courage and strengths can help them win it. But what happens when the Hero finds out that some of his 'Allies' look at him like we would look at a good T-bone steak? Lizard-people with flying cars, giant bugs used as guard dogs and Grade "A" humans that go great with barbecue sauce, what more could you ask for in a sci-fi book?

It was followed by Sword of Fire, Blaze of Wrath, and Torch of Fear.

A: At the Narrow Passage by Richard Meredith?

We listened to speeches from veterans about how those who have served come in all shapes and sizes, how some veterans returned home to cheers, others to derision. Veterans are as diverse as our nation itself. They are men, many are women, some are successful business owners, some are homeless. They are white, they are black, they are Hispanic, they are gay, they are straight. They are married, they are single, they are divorced. They are Republicans and they are Democrats. They are all Americans and they are all veterans.
At the end of the ceremony, we all put our hands over our hearts and sang the first four verses of "American the Beautiful." It was three days after the presidential election and as I looked around at the crowd gathered on that windy Friday morning, I thought that at least half of those people, probably more considering we are in conservative Rutland County, voted for Donald Trump for president.
Many of those gathered at the Pittsford ceremony were older folks, senior citizens, but there were also families and middle-aged people and children. And as I watched the Boy Scouts salute the flag and I listened to the strains of "God Bless America," I started thinking that a vote for Trump may have been a cry for a simpler time, his "Make American Great Again" tagline resonating with people who want some aspects of American life to go back to the way it was 20, 30, 50 years ago: aging Americans pining for the good old days when they didn't have to think about using the proper pronouns, or equal rights, or offending minorities by using an archaic word that is now considered a slur. Men were men, women were in the kitchen, and gays were in the closet. It was neat and simple. We've come a long way since then. At least we thought we had.
That's one theory: that Trump's election was a backlash against too much political correctness, that straight white people in rural areas agree with the president-elect, that it's O.K. to belittle minorities, mock the disabled, objectify women and criminalize Muslims.
Another theory is that even if millions of Trump voters didn't necessarily agree with his rhetoric, he promised something they desperately wanted: change. Trump has promised a shake-up of the status quo in Washington. Many of his voters, particularly in the swing states of Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, America's Rust Belt, voted for Trump because he promised to bring back those manufacturing jobs that that region lost at the end of the last century.
But while Clinton supporters are wringing their hands this week and accusing Trump voters of being narrow-minded and ignorant, I disagree. I refuse to believe that the 50-million people that voted for Donald Trump are all racist, sexist homophobes. I think millions of people—good, decent, hardworking people—didn't agree with Trump's xenophobia but desperately wanted economic change: change which Hillary Clinton, who has spent a lifetime in politics and played to both corporate Wall Street interests and to her base, did not offer.
Many Trump voters have spent the last week defending themselves. Many of these people are our friends, neighbors and family members. They say it's not personal, that they are not bigots and sexists.
I believe you—and now you have to back that up.
More than ever before, it is up to you, Trump voters, to combat bigotry, sexism, racism and homophobia where you see it. I think that "political correctness" has become a socio-political punching bag and that deriding it cheapens the decades of hard work and struggle that women and minorities endured to earn equal treatment and respect under the law.
Respect and equality are not conservative values or liberal values. That's not political correctness. It's basic human decency.
There are lost causes. I know there are Trump voters who think that I, a gay woman, am somehow "less than," that my black neighbor is a second-class citizen and that a Syrian refugee is a threat to our national security. But there are Democrats who think that way, too.
There are nuances here that need exploring, and there are conversations that need to be had. If the election of Donald Trump accomplishes anything, it will have shaken our country to its core, a core that has been neglected and needs tending.
The trickle-down of Trump's rhetoric is worrisome. Racism, intolerance and prejudice were ongoing issues in this country well before Trump even announced his candidacy. But his election is being interpreted by the bigots and homophobes as permission to act on their prejudices. It's already started, with pro-white graffiti and hate crimes spiking across the country just in the week since the election. We have to fight this behavior at every turn, now more than ever.
In our corner of the country, the Rutland Northeast Supervisory Union is reinforcing its bullying and harassment policy in schools across the district, encouraging parents, students and teachers alike to report and act. A climate committee has been formed at Otter Valley Union High School to combat bullying and harassment by bringing together students from different groups within the school.
We should take a page from that effort.
So I am appealing to the teachers, the parents, the guidance counselors, business and municipal leaders, the role models of our communities, as well as our friends and neighbors who may have voted for Donald Trump—let's come together and promote human decency, now more than ever. Lest we forget.

CNNgo is the latest channel added to the Apple TV lineup
Connected Theater
by Brent Dirks
The Apple TV has added CNNgo as its fourth new channel in the last two days. Just yesterday, viewers received a trio of new apps from TED, Tastemade, and Young Hollywood.
With CNNgo, users can watch the news channel live as well as view other on-demand content. Unfortunately, watching the live station does require that you log-in with credentials from a cable provider. That's similar to the restrictions found on the free CNN app for the iPad.
Earlier this month, at the special Apple Watch media event, Apple announced some big changes to the Apple TV. Along with cutting the price of the current-generation device to $69, the HBO Now service will launch exclusively on the Apple TV sometime in April. A subscription will cost $14.99 per month.
A recent report said the next-generation Apple TV will launch in June at WWDC. The new device could feature a faster A8 chip, Siri support, and a true App Store. Apple is also rumored to launch a streaming TV service this fall with content from ABC, CBS, Fox, and other networks.
For other news today, see: Customers interested in the pricey Apple Watch Edition will receive a 30-minute appointment to check out the device, Facebook Messenger is now a platform featuring other third-party apps, and Apple building technological research center in Japan

Co-working space is an office sharing arrangement where people from varied professional backgrounds, interests and companies work in the same place. They are primarily utilized by independent workers, freelancers, entrepreneurs, typically anyone looking for collaboration, work flexibility and base services like internet, food and office support.
Co-working space concept pre-dominantly started and evolved in the US and picked-up in many countries. A report by Intuit, a software service provider, says that over 40% of the workforce in the US will be either freelancers, temporary, part-time or self employed by 2020.
As per the NASSCOM India report, the number of start-ups in India has crossed 4,200 in the year 2015 and by 2020 there will be more than 11,500 start-ups in India. With the advent of start-up revolution and international companies establishing base in India, co-working trend has picked up in the commercial real estate boosting demand for such office spaces. Options are available to the Indian entrepreneurs to choose within cities like Delhi NCR, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Mumbai. More than 100 co-working spaces have come up in India in the last three years and numbers are rising.
Now, the big question is are the co-working spaces profitable? If co-working space providers can sustain their business model in the long term?
The primary purpose of this paper is to assess the business viability of co-working office space in India and to identify the key factors for a profitable co-working space from the provider and end-user point within Delhi NCR and Bangalore geographies. Bangalore being more evolved and active co-working space and start-up hub in India and Delhi NCR being the upcoming co-working space hub, the two cities are chosen for the purpose of study.
The paper aims to study the effect of revenue models, rent models, age of the space, number of members, capacity utilization, value-added services, location, ambience, user profile on the overall profitability of the co-work space and on the decision of end users in the two cities.
Two questionnaires, one for the service providers and the other for the end users in the two geographies are designed. The primary data collected is supported with secondary research from news articles, journals, publications and white papers for the purpose of analysis. The research results can be used as a reference for making investment decisions in co-working office space segment within Delhi NCR & Bangalore.

I et nyhetsbrev har World Bowling offentliggjort en link, sjekk her. Ved klikke på denne linken og følge instruksjonene, kan norske bowlingspillere vise sin støtte for bowling som OL-idrett i 2024. Ordlyden i det engelske nyhetsbrevet kan leses nedenfor. All støtte mottas med takk av World Bowling!
The President led a delegation of seven people from World Bowling and FFBSQ/French federation to meet with the Paris 2024 Organizing Committee to discuss the possibility that bowling might be included in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games as an additional sport. Appropriate presentation materials and documents were prepared and presented. The Paris 2024 officials will be invited to attend the Finals of the 2019 WJC at the Judo Auditorium in Paris on March 23, 2019. World Bowling has further cooperated with an independent organization of bowling supporters that wishes to support our Paris 2024 effort. They have developed a website for the purposes of allowing individuals to sign a petition to support bowling in the 2024 Olympic Games, and to gather demographic information that would be useful to World Bowling in developing future strategies, particularly with Olympic requirement and preferences in mind. We urge all member federations to distribute the availability of this website, and further urge their individual members and bowling supporters within their jurisdiction to sign the Paris 2024 petition, and participate in the survey. The materials are available in seven languages: English, French, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish and Russian. Please distribute the request as soon as possible, as the timeline for Paris 2024 to make their decision regarding 2024 additional sports is the end of March, 2019.

Does anyone know when they are sending out the last batch for pens points??
Just picked my hoodie up about an hour ago at Consol. The lady told me it was probably good I came in today to get it, because with the 40% discount tomorrow, they figure alot of people will will be flooding the store, and most will be turning in vouchers too, and was told that it is possible some people may have to wait for their size on a backorder. My advise........if you can get there today and redeem your voucher you may ant to do it...and then still go back tomorrow and shop for 40% off. Just a heads up for ya!
Just got the mail...jersey voucher in hand. It does NOT come as a post card, fyi.
Maybe I will wait a few days so I can hand in all the certificates at once and they will have everything in stock. I have only cashed in the very first t shirt one. Still have all the others.
Location: Inside the tumor in Crosby's neck.
There are some improvments coming to the program next year. More ways to get points and more prizes. Still have a few things to button up before the specifics are known but having a full year instead of a shortened season plus the learning of this past year will result in a better program next season.
Location: The Palace Hotel Ballroom.
I got my voucher for my jersey. It comes on a nice letter head. Classy Pens, classy.
My Jersey Voucher arrived today. I was surprised that it was on letterhead.

When I saw the letter from the Pens I was hoping I won some contest for tickets or something that I forgot about. Oh well, guess I will just have to take the jersey!
Anyone been to the store in the last couple of days? Wondering if the sale cleaned them out pretty good or what.
Didn't quite get there... that last round of no miller lite opportunities (and being swept) might have been enough to get across the line. And too far away point-wise to bother with daily merch.
If anyone goes to get their jersey please share.
I plan on heading down tomorrow to get mine. I will let everyone know how it goes.

Check and see how well their are stocked up on the other free stuff, if you don't mind. Maybe see if they have player shirts in stock that aren't Tangradi. Perhaps more hoodie sizes beyond small and XXXL. Please?
I went last Saturday, and they had hoodies in al sizes. I was able to get the size I wanted.
Was wondering, since it says "personalized" if you can get any name/number on it you want? Or if you have to pick one off the rack.
That's the $64,000 Question. Heck, I'll take a blank jersey over my last name on the back.
Here is my jersey I had my name and birth year put on it.
The store was very well stocked and they seem to have lots of product available. Overall it was a good day and the whole trip went well.
Good to hear. I'm gonna wait until after July 5th to see who's on the team.
No Mario? Wonder why. You should have just asked for a custom jersey with 66 and the last name Lemieux on it. If they say no say you are a Claude fan and were born in/fav number is 66. Or maybe get 66 and a nickname of his.

thats kind of a bummer... I was hoping to pick up a classic Mario jersey but now I'll just wait until after free agency.

Uhh...the promotion ended on June 30th.
I unlocked the player name shirt on June 3. I hope my card comes soon. Otherwise, I fear it was lost or stolen.

I had unlocked the hoodie around then too. They said that the Program will finish June 30th and they will mail out any remaining vouchers then. So being as the 30th was sunday + the july4th holiday. We can probably expect the vouchers some time next week.
