Excerpts from the Press Briefing by Ari Fleischer, May 16, 2003 (Full Transcript)
12:35 P.M. EDT
QUESTION: Ari, first of all, the President proposed $726 billion in tax cuts. He only got half of it, less than half of it from the Senate. The Senate is putting a sunset provision on the dividend tax cut. How can you be pleased with this?
MR. FLEISCHER: Well, changes were made to the President's proposal. But all the elements of the President's proposal are still included in the Senate proposal -- in the Senate plan that passed last night. And the President is pleased by that, because progress is being made. The House version and the Senate version are now coming together and will be decided in a conference committee. And the President believes that what will come out of that conference committee is going to be good for the economy, good for workers, and good for the unemployed.
And so, therefore, the President looks at what is happening and he does see discernable progress on every element of what he proposed. And I can go right down the line and talk about how the marriage penalty is now going to be reduced, retroactive to January 1st of 2003; marginal income tax rate reductions, including taking the rate of the lowest tax payers from 15 percent down to 10 percent, retroactive to January 1st, 2003. For parents who have children, the child credit will be increased from $600 to $1,000 retroactive to January 1st, 2003.
On the dividend exclusion, there is a difference between how the House did it and how the Senate did it. Nevertheless, progress has been made. We still have issues we need to work out in the conference on that. And, of course, one way to help small business, which is one of the largest employers in our society, the expensing limits -- which are currently capped at $25,000, which means if a small business expends more than that they can't deduct it -- will be increased to different levels, depending on the House version or the Senate version, but between $75,000 and $100,000. So all of that is what the President proposed. Much of that is what is in both versions.
QUESTION: Coming back to the tax cut issue, the President went on record saying that we need at least $550 billion to try to stimulate the economy. We've got a range now of $350 billion, $550 billion. One, how much pressure is the White House going to bring to bear on this process next week? And two, can we expect to see any more tax cut legislation this year, not in 2004?
MR. FLEISCHER: Well, here's what's guiding the President on this. His view is that the economy needs a boost, the economy needs a stimulus because we're not creating enough jobs. We are in a period of low growth in our economy. We're coming out of a recession, but we're coming out of a recession in an uneven fashion.
You can find quarters not too far ago where growth actually did grow above 5 percentage points. But there are too many quarters where growth grew only at about 1 percentage point, or just above 1 percentage point. That type of uneven growth does not lead to businesses, to manufacturers, to factories hiring workers.
The purpose of the tax plan is to create a permanent boost to the economy so the economy grows at a more sustainable rate. From the President's school of thinking, the higher the number, the bigger the boost. The smaller the number, the less the boost. The higher the number, the more jobs. The lower the number, fewer jobs.
So, yes, the President will push for the greatest amount of boost to the economy, therefore, the most jobs get created. We will work with the House and the Senate. There are certain constraints that each of those institutions is working under. And now they face the difficult work of working together to get the agreement. And we will be there to help them with that.
QUESTION: But assuming that figure comes in closer to $350 billion than to $550 billion, what other actions could we see the President propose this year?
MR. FLEISCHER: Okay, and, one, I also need to point out, it gets a little bit into the technicalities of how tax legislation works, but you've got a net number and a gross number. So, of course, you can have a higher tax cut than $350 billion, depending on the offsets that are including. So you can have a gross number that's a higher tax cut number that has a stimulative effect, and assuming that the offsets are benign, then you can deal with that difference as a result of having proper offsets.
I'm not prepared to make any guesses about any other tax legislation down the road. Congress has some ideas that it wants to work on. Of course, there is an issue that's not necessarily -- depending on how you want to review it -- it's tax legislation that deals with our obligations to the World Treaty Organization involving foreign sales corporations, the FSCs legislation. That's tax legislation that does -- that the Congress is taking a look at working on this year. That's an important matter.
QUESTION: I have two questions on taxes. The first is, a few minutes ago you said -- you declined to speculate on future tax cuts. But earlier today, you suggested that future budget submissions from this administration would contain tax cuts. Given the fact that only about -- of the President's budget this year, over a trillion dollars still hasn't even been considered by the Congress, will future budgets contain new starters of tax cuts, of will they just be --
MR. FLEISCHER: Thanks for raising that again. I want you to go back to exactly what I said this morning. When I talked about the budgets, I said the last three that the President proposed all contained tax cuts. And I said the President continues to talk about making certain that the tax cuts are permanent. I did not describe whether there would be or would not be additional future tax cuts. So to be precise, that's what I said this morning. And I can't speculate about tax cuts down the road other than making tax cuts permanent.
QUESTION: And my second question has to do specifically with the bill that was just passed last night in the Senate. On Wednesday -- Tuesday, rather -- the President in Indiana reiterated his insistence that corporate profits -- that it's fair to tax corporate profits at least once. The dividend proposal that the Senate passed last night will create a scenario where a company that's not paying taxes to the government, but issuing dividends, would still be able to issue those dividends tax-free to shareholders. Is the President committed to the idea that corporate profits should be at least taxed one time before their dividends are passed on to shareholders?
MR. FLEISCHER: Well, in terms of the specific way that the tax legislation and the tax code interacts with dividends, in terms of the corporate profitability, this is a technical question that the Department of Treasury can better address when it applies to the dividend provision. Generally, of course, that's what the President believes. He continues to believe that. But there is a specific interactability among different provisions in the tax code that deal with profits and dividend exclusions. And you would need to talk to Treasury, because they're more expert than I am on that.
QUESTION: But, more generally speaking, since the President has argued against this dividend -- double-taxation of dividends as a matter of principle for the last several months, if he gets a bill that doesn't -- that may actually eliminate the single taxation of dividends, that's something he can accept.
MR. FLEISCHER: You just rephrased your same question, but my answer remains the same.
QUESTION: Just double-check, Ari. The Senate tax cut bill that was passed last night, the President called it a "little bitty tax cut" very recently. Does he still think that?
MR. FLEISCHER: Well, we'll see what actually comes out of the House conference. And this is why I indicated there's a difference between the net number and the gross number, and you have to see how that comes out, as well. We're not done yet.
QUESTION: But the level that passed last night is still "little bitty," right?
MR. FLEISCHER: Well, the level that was passed last night looks like it's in the mid 400s as a gross matter.
QUESTION: If you factor in the tax hikes that --
MR. FLEISCHER: That's why I said, as a gross matter. And so we're not done yet. We still have some issues to work out both on the offset side and on the actual tax cut side.
QUESTION: Until recently the President called for a tax cut package of at least $550 billion. Lately you're just calling for a package as robust as possible without giving a price tag. I'm wondering why the administration is no longer setting a figure, and whether the $450 billion that you mentioned a moment ago would be adequate, whether or not it's a gross number, or a net number?
MR. FLEISCHER: I think I said mid-400s. And the President sets a standard that he hopes that the Congress will live up to. The President sets that standard because he thinks it is the best policy for the country.
In our constitutional system, the Senate and the House are also qualified to discuss what they think is the best for the country. And at the end of the day, the President wants to get something done for the country.
Now, you can say a President -- after how he takes a stand, should never change from that stand, should only adhere to that stand, and, therefore, not get compromises reached in order to make progress. If the President came to the conclusion that there was insufficient progress, he would say so. He see progress being made on the tax legislation on Capitol Hill and he's grateful for it. He thinks it's good for the country and good for the economy.
QUESTION: Ari, to this point the President has blamed the sluggish economy on an inherited recession and the war. Since it's apparent now that he's going to get at least some tax cuts, and as you've said, it contains his proposals, if the sluggish economy continues and it doesn't improve, will the President then take responsibility for that and stop blaming it on other factors?
MR. FLEISCHER: I saw a story last week that said that with this tax cut this means the President has responsibility for the economy. This President accepted a responsibility for the country on January 20, 2001. He accepted responsibility for it in all forms, whatever form it was in. And that is what happens when you're the President. And so I think it's a nonissue. The American people know who the President is. They'll make their judgments about factors at the appropriate time.
But when you take a look at what happened in the economy, talk to private sector economists, and they'll tell you that for a rare time the tax cut in 2001 was actually perfectly timed. It did help us emerge that fall from the recession that we were in. It did give a boost to the economy. And clearly, the first quarter of 2002, right after the tax cuts were received, was one of those quarters where the economy in greater than 5 percentage points for that first quarter. Now, the economy has been uneven since then, meaning that this, too, could be a perfectly timed tax cut to give that boost to the economy to help it to get going in a sustainable period of higher growth.
QUESTION: So he anticipates that whatever comes out of Congress is going to be a boost to the economy. Now, if it fails to do that, what other thing can he attribute it to other than his policies aren't working?
MR. FLEISCHER: You're asking a hypothetical. I'm sure that if the economy is not strong a year from now you'll be asking questions about it.
QUESTION: Ari, there are analysts -- back on the campaign -- there are analysts who say that before this President came to office, that the presidency has become a sort of permanent campaign, and that at least so far as the public events that the President undertakes, there is always at least a political element to that. How does the President think about that?
MR. FLEISCHER: Again, I think that you've got an abundance of historians and analysts who can share their perspective with you on this. But as any number of scholars -- as de Tocqueville has pointed out -- I mean, America is a very open democracy, and part of that open democracy is a government that does its business in front of the people, and the people make judgments. That's how it should work. What's the alternative? The alternative is not democratic.
So, yes, this President is going to do everything he can as the elected President of the country to implement good policy. And the American people will form judgments about what he does -- both in the war on terror, in the conduct of foreign policy, and in matters domestically, including the economy.
QUESTION: And on a second subject, there were reports in the British press this weekend alleging that the Jessica Lynch affair was used by this administration, was manipulated in some ways, and that even, perhaps, the conduct of the rescue of Jessica Lynch was manipulated in some way for public consumption.
MR. FLEISCHER: I haven't seen those reports. And I don't comment on things I haven't seen, especially -- there's all kinds of different tabloids.

It turns out that the lunar space environment is far more active than previously thought. Scientists have found that the solar wind may have effects on lunar water levels and other features on the nearby world.
One day, Mars may have rings like Saturn. How is this possible, you ask? It could happen when Mars' moon, Phobos, disintegrates under the planet's force of gravity.
Scientists have learned a bit more about moon rocks and why they're more depleted in volatile elements than those found on Earth.
NASA's Cassini spacecraft has made a surprising discovery about Saturn's moon, Titan. It's discovered a truly massive ice cloud on the moon, heralding the change of seasons on the world.
It turns out that Mars' moon, Phobos, is slowly falling apart. Scientists have taken a closer look at this moon and have found that it's showing early signs of structural failure that will ultimately destroy it.
Researchers from the Southwest Research Institute carried out an experiment so they could determine why moon rocks contain fewer volatile elements than earth rocks.
NASA's New Horizon spacecraft is continuing to send information about Pluto to scientists on Earth. Now, four months after the flyby, researchers are learning more than ever about the dwarf planet and its strange moons.
Solar Eclipse Disrupts Electricity In Germany?
After Europe experienced a solar eclipse in March of this year, researchers in Germany are trying to determine whether or not the eclipse impacted photovoltaic systems, ultimately disrupting the electrical supply across the country.
This week, you're in for a spectacular sky show. Three bright planets and the waning crescent moon will be present in night skies.
NASA researchers examined Saturn's frigid moon, which has many earth-like features, but is still slightly alien. The researchers claimed that by observing possible changes on Titan, it will allow them to have a better understanding of its winds and dune formations.
Scientists have captured the highest-resolution radar images yet of an asteroid that flew by Earth on Halloween. The new images reveal a bit more information about the surface features of the asteroid.
NASA's Cassini spacecraft has officially begun transmitting the latest images of Saturn's icy, geologically active moon, Enceladus.

Q: How to refresh a page once automatically right after it loads completely without changing or adding a string in the URL? I created a script that looks for a particular class and once found appends a div to it. In order for this to work the page needs to be refreshed once without changing the url in the address bar, its like simulating the act of actually hitting the refresh button on the browser. Almost all answers I see here in Stack Overflow requires a string to be attached in the end of the url for the one time refresh to work. Is there actually a way to automatically refresh once after the page loads without changing the url in the address bar?

A: Have you tried location.reload();
Furthermore, you can use the localStorage property to store whether you have reloaded the page once so you don't reload forever.

Three builders to be inducted into Canadian Curling Hall of Fame
From left, Patricia Ray, Peter Inch and David Beesley will be inducted into the Canadian Curling Hall of Fame later this month
Three individuals whose work behind the scenes contributed greatly to the growth of curling in Canada will be inducted into the Canadian Curling Hall of Fame this fall.
Peter Inch of London, Ont., Patricia Ray of Ottawa and the late David Beesley of Toronto will join the Hall during a celebration banquet at Curling Canada's National Curling Congress later this month in Ottawa.
"These three names might not be familiar to curling fans, but to those people who work inside the boards at curling championships across Canada, Peter, Patricia and David played hugely significant roles in making our sport what it is today," said Scott Comfort, Chair of Curling Canada's Awards and Hall of Fame Committee. "It's truly gratifying to be able to honour Peter, Patricia and David and recognize their effort over the years, and to ensure their contributions are not forgotten."
Here's a look at the three inductees:
David Beesley (Posthumously)
Beesley's work behind the scenes on behalf of Curling Canada took the sport to previously unheard-of levels as a marketing powerhouse. Beesley, who passed away on Jan. 6, spent a quarter-century working on behalf of Curling Canada in the role of National Sponsorship Sales Director.
He was instrumental in negotiating sponsorship and television deals that gave Canadian curlers far bigger, and more widely exposed, stages on which to perform. His vision led us to the Season of Champions series of events, and even in his final days, he continued working hard to continue raising curling's profile in this country.
"David was never one for the spotlight, but we know what a great deal of pride he took in seeing the fruits of his labours over the years," said Beesley's wife, Mary Opper. "We are immensely grateful and humbled to see him honoured in this way."
Peter Inch
Inch served as the Chair of Curling Canada's Board of Governors for the 2016-17 season, a role he prepared for over the years through countless volunteer hours put into the sport of curling.
A native of London, Ont., Inch was first elected to the Board of Governors during the 2013 National Curling Congress in Ottawa. Prior to that, he worked tirelessly on behalf of the sport in helping organize numerous championship events in his hometown, including the 2006 Scott Tournament of Hearts and the 2011 Tim Hortons Brier. He also chaired the host committee for the 2002 Canadian Senior Men's and Women's Championships in nearby St. Thomas.
"My goal has always been to make a difference in the curling community," said Inch. "I feel extremely humbled and honoured to receive this recognition, and join and the many exceptional men and women of the past and present in the Curling Canada Hall of Fame."
Patricia Ray
Ray spent 29 years at Curling Canada as the organization's Chief Operating Officer, but that title didn't do justice to her contributions to the sport.
In times of need, Ray stepped up repeatedly for Curling Canada — she served as the organization's interim Chief Executive Officer on three occasions (the most recent stint coming during the 2015-16 season) in addition to the not-insignificant demands of her COO duties. Through it all, she was calm, poised, a voice of reason and, always, a friendly face in times of stress.
"I am deeply humbled and thankful for this unexpected distinction," said Ray. "Over the course of my career with Curling Canada, I had the great fortune to work with a group of passionate and devoted colleagues – at the national office as well as around the board table. Sharing the excitement of every curling season for 29 years has been a great privilege as well as a truly enjoyable experience. To top off my career in this way is simply, indescribably wonderful."
Earlier this year, two competitors — Christine Jurgenson and Cathy Overton-Clapham — were inducted into the Canadian Curling Hall of Fame.

Feedback from one to the other.
In this lesson, we will look at both verbal and nonverbal communication and how they, combined with the information above, contribute to the success (or failure) of good customer service.
Learn how to communicate with customers.
Watch. It is not enough to just look at the person you are speaking with, you must also pay attention to how the person is reacting and what nonverbal signals are being sent. What kind of impressions are you forming that may or may not be accurate based on how the person is dressed, behaving, or speaking? A good communicator will observe without judging, waiting for more information before making an evaluation.
Hear. Listening is not just hearing the words, but paying attention to them. If you are focused on how you want to respond to the speaker, you will not hear what is being said. If you are daydreaming, you will miss entire passages. Stay focused, listen, hear, and understand what is being said.
Open your mind. We are bombarded daily with information from many sources. In order to sort through and make sense of all of it, we must keep an open mind to new ideas. Effectively working with people depends on thinking creatively and using new information in ways that improve and/or enhance current processes.
Understand. When we are conversing with our customers and colleagues, we need to clarify the information we are receiving to make sure the message we are hearing is the message that is being sent. Paraphrasing or parroting the information will help us understand and clarify the meaning with the speaker.
7% of the meaning is determined from the actual words that are spoken.
38% of the meaning is determined by the way the words are said.
55% of the meaning is determined by facial expression.
Given this information, it is important to understand the role nonverbal communication has in communication as a whole. This applies even when speaking on the phone. Tone, pitch, and volume in your voice will provide your listener with more information than the words you are speaking.
Think of it like this: a baby cannot understand the words you speak, but will react to the tone of voice you use when you speak, just as a person who does not speak the same language you do will react to the tone of voice you use. It is not true, however, that if you speak louder, a foreigner (or baby) will understand what you are saying better than they did before.
Inflection. Your voice should go up and down throughout the conversation, emphasizing certain words or forming questions. Be careful that you do not develop a sing-song speech pattern, however.
Pace. As you speak, pay attention to the speed with which you are talking. Using a variety of speeds, slower when making an important point, faster when you want to move the conversation along, will help to keep your listener interested and help them determine what is most important.
Feeling. Using a warm and feeling voice will give your customer a sense of being liked and respected. Conversely, if your voice is cold and unfeeling, your customer will pick up on that as well, and will form a negative opinion.
You can practice using proper pitch by recording your voice and listening to it to hear where the pitch is off and then re-recording it. Try recording a conversation you are having with a friend and then listen to it, paying particular attention to pitch.
People back away from you, frown, or look around to see who is listening when you talk. You might be talking too loudly. Try lowering your voice a bit and watch to see if the listener relaxes.
People move closer, turn their heads so their ears are pointed at you, or cup their ears when you talk. You might be talking too softly. Try raising your voice and watch to see if the listener reacts appropriately.
If you have been told your voice is too loud, or too soft, practice speaking in more moderate tones.
Another thing to keep in mind when moderating the volume of your voice is the space you are speaking in.
Is it outdoors with a lot of traffic or other distracting noises?
Are you talking in a crowded restaurant?
Are you presenting in a large conference room?
Louder voices are needed when there is a lot of distraction, but not so loud that you become a distraction for others in the area.
Are you having a private conversation in a corner of a break room?
Are you in a one-on-one meeting in your supervisor's office?
Are you chatting as you walk down the hall in the office?
Use softer voices in smaller, less crowded areas.
In this exercise, consider the following scenario and then respond to the questions.
Marcus and his supervisor, Ms. Diaz, are having a meeting in a small conference room. Marcus is explaining the process he took to complete a task that was assigned to him. Ms. Diaz is listening, and her facial expression is one of deep concentration. Marcus, however, interprets her expression to be one of confusion and he keeps talking, growing more anxious and nervous as he continues to explain himself over and over again.
Why does Marcus keep talking?
What might Ms. Diaz have done differently in this scenario that would have been helpful to Marcus?
What could Marcus have done differently?
Marcus is responding to the facial expression Ms. Diaz is making.
He thinks she is confused or maybe not understanding what he is saying. He is misinterpreting her expression, possibly because she is using an expression that is hard to understand.
He is talking to his supervisor, who he thinks does not understand him. He is nervous about creating a bad impression by not speaking clearly.
Ms. Diaz could have affirmed, either via an expression or verbally, that she understood what Marcus was saying. Better yet, she could have restated it back to him in her own words.
Marcus could have asked Ms. Diaz if his explanation made sense to her and if she had any questions.
Communicating effectively with customers impacts the relationship you have with them. Customers are more willing to do business with someone they have a positive relationship with. To create that positive relationship, you need to build rapport and establish your credibility with your customers.
Avoid talking about religion or politics.
Listen actively. Focus on what the customer is saying, listening for clues about what he or she needs or wants. Customers will respond to someone they know is paying attention to what they are saying.
Mirror the customer. If you share some common mannerisms, like posture and tone of voice, the customer will feel more comfortable communicating with you.
Be sincere. If you are not being sincere when you talk to the customer, he or she will pick up on that and any rapport that has already been established will be gone.
Show you are genuinely committed to your customers.
Treat customers with genuine respect.
Your customers will be genuine and respectful back to you.
When asked a question you don't know the answer to, say, "I don't know, but I will find out and get back to you."
Follow up on your promises and keep your customer apprised of the progress you are making, especially if it is taking longer than you first anticipated.
Admit it when you are wrong. Accepting responsibility for a mistake and then working to correct that mistake will establish your credibility quickly in the mind of your customer.
When voicing opinions or values, be consistent and sincere. Don't waver in an effort to gain an advantage or to be liked by more people.
Always behave in a professional manner by not gossiping.
Not only will your credibility serve you well with your external customers, but your internal customers will also benefit from it. By establishing your credibility, you become a resource for your company. Your colleagues will come to you with questions, or refer their customers to you!
In this exercise, please respond to the questions.
Why is it important to break the ice when talking to a customer?
There is not enough time to break the ice, so don't try.
To help put the customer at ease.
Breaking the ice is a silly time-waster thought up by overzealous motivational speakers.
What is the appropriate response when a customer asks you a question and you don't know the answer?
Make up an answer so you don't lose credibility.
Pretend not to hear the question and change the subject.
Say you don't know and offer to find out.
Say you don't know and leave it at that.
C. Say you don't know and offer to find out.

Day 12 of NaNoWriMo has come and gone. During the work week I have 2 times of the day to write, in the early morning and at night before bed. I first have to block this time out for writing and then I have to be ready to write when I do sit down in front of the keyboard and screen. Thankfully, for this story, It doesn't take me long to get started once I sit down since I have a ton of material already on paper. That doesn't mean I don't hit road blocks.
These roadblocks are not always story related, sometimes they are distractions that pull my mind away. Usually when I get distracted that means I wasn't fully locked in to the writing session yet. I try not to let that happen but it does. Sometimes I can fight the pull of the distraction but sometimes I use this mood shift to my advantage.
I try to have a handful of reference or inspiration materials I can go to that help re-fuel me and give me a push. When I get distracted I try to focus that distraction on these materials instead of the endless social media scroll. Sometimes I turn to a playlist of ambient music or film scores that have a similar vibe to what I am creating. Other times I review some film scenes that have some relation to the kind of story I am writing. Other times I reference movies, music or art that has nothing to do with what I am creating. Just indulging in some awesome piece of work by another artist reminds me of my end goal and helps me keep going.
I try to collect as many tactics as I can to help my self stay on track. Do you battle this when you write? If so, how do you tackle these distractions that you face? Tell me in the comments or just leave a comment to say HI!


We've partnered with HubSpot, the leaders in Inbound Marketing software, to deliver programs that help businesses generate more leads, close more sales and delight more customers.
Marketing today is about truly understanding your customers so you do you can take advantage of the right opportunities.
We create educational content that pulls people toward your website where they can learn more about your offering by choice - allowing you to nurture them as you learn more about their needs, challenges, goals and behaviour.
Through creating the right inbound strategy, we can position your business as a thougth leader and a market resource. A prospects experience with your brand therefore, is far superior to that of a company that is buying email lists, telemarketing and sending direct mail.
Our inbound programs follow the below methodology and are tailored to suit your business.
This seems so obvious, but many businesses focus on segmentation to a level where their marketing loses sight of the individual at the other end.
Success comes from creating marketing that people love. From being a business that helps solve problems. Not by interrupting and generally bothering people.
We develop your Inbound framework based on these values.
For your marketing to be truly effective, it must be properly integrated, which is why set your platform to have all the marketing tools working together. Web analytics, social media tools, blogging software, marketing automation, email marketing - it's all in one place.
What this means for you is full visibility of the interactions your leads are having with all your content, built right into their timeline.
For far too long Sales and Marketing have clashed heads at the detriment of what should be a set of shared objectives.
At the beginning of our program together we identify an agreed Smarketing framework for lead categorisation, reporting and mutual responsibilities. This type of alignment and two-way flow of information results in better quality leads, a higher close rate and ultimately, more revenue.
As the central hub of your inbound program, we ensure your website is effectively optimised for search, social and mobile. We also make sure it provides for a user experience that maximises conversion.
Whether a complete site development is required, or it is suitable to use your existing website framework, we will work with you to develop a plan that is focussed on a return on your investment.
We establish the varying needs, challenges, values and goals of your prospects and then create content based on a conversion based strategy. Content such as blogs, web copy, eBooks, social media & email.
We will work with you to develop a content plan that suits your brand and the overall program objectives.
Social engagement is an important factor to inbound marketing success. We will determine the right social media channels for your business to be active in (such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, etc).
Alongside setting the right strategy and enhancing your use of these platforms, we use industry leading social media monitoring and engagement tools to ensure we take advantage of the right opportunities.
We set a series of automated workflows that nurture your leads through their buyer's journey.
Aside from automated emails, we also set workflows to provide you with timely notifications so you can take action based on prospect behaviour you want to know about.
Through the consultation process we take the time to understand your goals, challenges and the key numbers that will determine the capability for inbound success.
We then develop a program framework that is focused on adding value by continuous improvement. We test, measure, analyse and optimise each campaign so that we are generating the best possible results.
Hubspot's State of Inbound 2015 report brings together survey results of almost 4,000 marketers worldwide, as users and non-users of HubSpot. Here are a few outtakes.
Whether you are looking for assistance in managing your own inbound marketing program, want to outsource your inbound marketing to an inbound agency, or something in-between, we can help.


The Bible, a collection of sixty–six books written across a period of about a thousand years, is the world's number one best seller. Within its pages we find a wonderful variety of literary styles: history and story, myth and allegory, poetry and imagery, prayer and praise. The Bible reflects the entire human condition. The Bible is about people without aeroplanes and computers, people without our technology, but it deals with the constants in life. It describes people who laughed, people who cried, people who cheated, who ran away, who murdered, who gave their all for their beliefs. It talks about people who were faithful in friendship, who fell in love, who gave birth, who fell ill and died. In other words, it is about people just like us.Perhaps that's why the Bible has shaped the lives of the rich and powerful, as well as of people who have nothing. Time after time it has changed the lives of individuals and communities.
If you want to read the Bible but are not sure how to go about it, please speak to one of the ministers, or contact The Bible Society, The Bible Reading Fellowship or Scripture Union. They offer plenty of resources and it's just a matter of finding the right one for you.

Dairy Milk Vs Non-Dairy
The Great Milk Debate
Mode Lifestyle Magazine – "The True Identity Issue"
Editor: Dominique Beaumont
Design: MODE Studio
There has been a great debate in recent years about the health benefits or otherwise of dairy milk. And with greater awareness of how the milk is produced there has been a growing level of sensitivity about the welfare of the cows themselves. But milk plays a major part of our diet so what's to be done?
(Available on Amazon: The True Identity Issue: Collector's Edition)
Milk Dairy Vs Non Dairy – MODE The True Identity Issue P50-51
It seems that more and more people are discovering that they are lactose intolerant. The likelihood is that in the past a larger portion of the lactose intolerant public just did not know that they were suffering from it. The symptoms probably just got accepted as part of a general ailment such as hay fever, the cold, or regular migraines.
Whole communities, such as people from west sub-Saharan Africa are clearly known to be lactose intolerant because fresh dairy does not form a substantial part of their diet. In Europe, dairy forms a much higher part of the population's diet, and yet even there, there are those that have suffered and continue to suffer from the upset stomach and other issues that soon follow once they consume dairy milk, or more specifically, cow milk.
The United States produces over 217 billion pounds of dairy milk each year. This milk is used in restaurants, coffee shops, and for home cooking and consumption as well as for industrial food manufacturing.
Dairy milk costs less than non-dairy and is dense with nutrients like vitamin D, potassium, and calcium. Dairy has 8 grams of protein per glass but non-dairy usually has around 1 gram. Also dairy milk has 103 calories per cup. Dairy milk has lactose which gives it a sweet taste. Non-dairy milk usually has added sugar or sugar equivalents to obtain the same level of sweetness. But over the last decade or so, as the healthy eating industry has exploded, the non-dairy milk sector in particular has grown at probably even a faster rate.
So what is the problem with dairy? We are born with the ability to digest the lactose of human breast milk. Lactose is a form of sugar that is digested in the small intestine with the help of an enzyme called lactase. So babies naturally produce lactase for this digestion. Lactose is broken down by lactase into the monosaccharides galactose and glucose so that they can be absorbed by the body. Galactose is moved to the liver which then turns it to glucose. Glucose is of course used for energy production in the body.
Humans, like most mammals, do not suckle on their mothers forever. After the baby is weaned and no longer drinks milk from the mother, lactase production begins to drastically reduce. The reduction in lactase production continues with age and in some populations the reduction is so much that the adults are no longer able to digest lactose. Symptoms for those that become lactose intolerant include cramps, diarrhea, and bloating. Some people actually have an allergy to lactose rather than an intolerance caused by inability to digest it. Luckily there are now a growing range of tasty alternatives to dairy milk.
Milk Dairy Vs Non Dairy – MODE The True Identity Issue P52 – 53
Alternatives to Dairy Milk
Lower in calories than cow milk at 30-45 calories and 2 grams of fat per cup. Almond milk is high in Vitamin E and is popular for cooking and use in coffee. Of course if you are allergic to nuts you will want to stay away from this one.
Like almond milk, cashew milk is also known to have lots of vitamin E and has approximately 30 calories per cut. However, this milk is not a noticeable source of protein.
Coconut milk is low in carbs and high in fat at about 4grams per cup. It is often used in the kitchen for Eastern dishes such as curries and overall is a very versatile and well-loved milk. Another advantage of this is that it is a good alternative for those that are allergic to nuts.
Hemp Milk
Hemp milk has 7 grams of fat and is about 80 calories per cup. It also has lots of omega-3 fatty acids and has an earthy and nutty flavour. And don't worry, you are not likely to be getting high on Hemp milk since the cannabinoids is in lower concentrations than the marijuana strains of the Cannabis sativa plant. In any case, most of the cannabinoids is concentrated in the flowers and not the seeds from which the milk is made by blending with water. This milk is nut free so should be suitable for those with nut allergies.
A growing popular option in non-dairy milk is oak milk. This is made from oats, water, oil, and thickeners. The milk is usually fortified with several vitamins and has approximately 4 grams of protein per cup. It is nut free, however, it does have a higher carb content with up to 100 calories per cup.
Rice milk has a thinner consistency and as well as being lactose free, it is also nut free. It's a good alternative for those that do not want to use soy but it does have one of the highest carbs and calories count at 130 calories and 3.5 grams of fat per cup. Protein content is negligible.
Soy milk is perhaps the best known and most widely distributed dairy milk alternative. It is used for virtually everything that dairy milk would normally be used for and has 90 calories, 4 grams of fat, and 9 grams of protein per cup. Unfortunately, some people are allergic to soy so would have to avoid it.
As you can see, if you want to explore alternatives to dairy milk you now have a wide and growing list of options. You should experiment to see which of these options fit best with your particular needs and that best satisfies your taste buds.

I figured this would need a thread of its own, as the other one may become cluttered with spoilers and story-related shenanigans.
Below, taken from IGN, is the GTA Online blurb :
Grand Theft Auto Online, the multiplayer component to Grand Theft Auto V, will launch two weeks after Grand Theft Auto V. It will be free for everyone who bought a copy of the game.
Grand Theft Auto Online is a dynamic and persistent online world for 16 players that begins by sharing gameplay features, geography and mechanics with Grand Theft Auto V, but will continue to expand and evolve after its launch with new content created by Rockstar Games and the Grand Theft Auto community, according to Rockstar.[1]
The game will let you and friends team up to tackle missions, activities, ambient events and other things, as well as competing with others in more traditional game modes.
When playing Grand Theft Auto Online, you take the role of a custom character. With this character, you can customize your appearance, increase stats, and own property and cars. You use this character to earn reputation and money to open up new opportunities for you and your friends.
'Crews', which have been seen recently seen in Max Payne 3, will also be used in Grand Theft Auto V. The 'Crew' mechanic makes use of Rockstar's Social Club, which has been in use since the release of Red Dead Redemption. By creating a 'Crew' in a game such as Max Payne 3, players will be able to port across their character between the two games.
Rockstar boss Dan Houser said: "Multiplayer is an ever-more important part of all our games moving forward. By creating crews through Social Club, the crews that you create in Max Payne 3 will be ready and available for you to play in Grand Theft Auto V from day one."
GTA V will let players form private crews with friends, or join public crews. Players can be a member of up to five at the same time, and completing tasks as a crew will gain experience points for the player. In late 2012, Rockstar said that "refining open-world multiplayer into something really special" had been a huge focus in the development of GTA V.
So, whats everyones thoughts?, personally, im getting a bit sick of COD/Battlefield, etc - so i'm fully preparing myself to dive into this and see what the fuss is about.

Just found some more guff on the GTA Wiki page.
i cant help but notice one of the online game modes is 'Heists'. Seeing as the first heist at the jewelry store is one of the early highlights in the story mode, im looking forward to seeing how R* make them work for an online component.

Just when I thought my ass temps had cooled off
This thread is all about the ass temps.......ONLINE ass temps!
Just realised, this is a lousy thread without the official video in it :
Considering that you can see character interactions with Lemar and Lester in that video, it would seem that there is some sort of "story" element to the online mode too, which is nice.
The content creator also looks amazing.
Got to say, the Online looks every bit as epic as the story mode.
Anyone know if EG or any other sites plan on doing a separate review for this?
R* seem to be treating as a different game (sort of) so i wonder if reviewers will too?
Really hope the micro-transactions spotted on Reddit arent too intrusive in GTA Online - thats a current trend that i was hoping R* would avoid

What makes it particularly bad is the satire on the radio shows about the CoD clone (I forgot what they call it...). It doesn't really work if you then have micro transactions.
Still, won't stop me playing it. The morons in the comments on the front page article that were saying they would boycott the game because of it made me laugh.

Content creator sounds good.
And the micro transactions make more sense if all future online content will be completely free, that development doesn't pay for itself.
Seriously? Just because the game did well, they have no right to fund the development of the online game and should just pay for it out of their own pocket in perpetuity?

A bit of a slog at the start, and it doesn't save progress so the hour I have put in to it has been lost. Can't see cops and robbers game type too which sucks as loved that.

Designing for an irregularly-shaped site in a prime location of Washington, DC that sat vacant for many years created a unique challenge that SmithGroup was able to overcome through an innovative approach.
Nestled between two buildings the irregular shaped site that would become 1700 New York Avenue NW for years sat like a missing puzzle piece waiting for the right player to add the final piece. The site received various plans that called for the modification or demolishing sections of adjacent buildings with none ever moving forward. SmithGroup was able to solve this puzzle by creating a solution that would allow to build seamlessly into the irregularly shaped site.
A 120,000 SF office building was the end-goal with amenities including a fitness center and roof terrace. Its proximity to the National Mall with unprecedented views making this prime real estate.
The unconventional shape of the site was the main factor in the building's clever design. It needed to fit around the neighboring Corcoran Gallery but a solution was needed for the floors that soared above the Gallery's roof.
A lower-level basement space was used to create a space that would engage users with the creative use of an exterior light well.
DC's style has always erred on the conservative side, however, the city is slowly starting to welcome a bolder more contemporary design, straying away from the forms of the Federal Court, and drawing from a more dynamic and responsive set of guidelines. 1700 New York Avenue represents this architectural evolution.

Mohammad Bagher Estahbanati (; born 1837) was a Persian Faqīh, writer, mathematician and inventor. He was born in Estahban.

Education

When Estahbanati was 12, he attended Shiraz Mansouriyah school where he stayed for eight years. In 1867, he went to Tehran with other student masters such as Mr Wise (Madras), Mohammad Hakim Qmshhay, Mirza Abolhassan Jelve, Mulla Ali Kenny and Syed Mehdi Najafi Qazvini. In 1879 he returned to Shiraz. Due to a conflict with Ghavamolmolk (the Persian ruler) he was exiled to Samarra, where he took lessons from Mirza Mohammed Hassan Husseini Shirazi which qualified him to exercise ijtihad.

After Shirazi's death, Estahbanati went to Najaf, where he founded his philosophical field. His dissertation is a collection of thousands of bits of poetry that explain the sciences, such as jurisprudence and judgements through to poetic language and religion. He was also a professor of mathematics and its affiliates. Various of his articles have remained in the field. Prevention, and health and hygiene in additional medical attention.

Personal life
In 1879, Ayatollah Estahbanati married Larijani, the daughter of Mohammad Hassan. She died in 1900. He was the son of Sheikh Mohammad Taqi Ravanshad, known as Ravanshad the philosopher.

Death
Estahbanati was killed during an insurrection led by the people of Shiraz. His body was interred in the garden Ghazal Hafeziyeh.

Organisers of Sydney's Sculpture by the Sea event claim a new footpath being built within the exhibition area could lead to the art festival's "slow and painful death". Founding director David Handley has threatened to pull the event from Bondi because of a planned 279m concrete footpath aimed at improving disability access around Marks Park. The art festival on the coastal walk between Bondi and Tamarama attracts nearly half a million people every spring. Mr Handley claims that, while a noble goal, the path would take out eight of the 10 prime spots that give the event its "wow" factor and would lead to the festival's "very slow and painful death".' But People with Disability Australia argues artwork shouldn't override the accessibility needs of a local community. The group's senior policy officer Samantha French said that if the path is the result of consultation with the community, it should be given the higher priority. "If that means moving art sculptures to a different locale, then that may need to happen," Ms French said. Mr Handley warned it would likely be the last Sculpture by the Sea event at Bondi if work on the path proceeds. More than 180 artists from 24 countries had written to the local council to oppose the path, describing it as an "international cultural disaster", Mr Handley added. Waverley Council said it was surprised by the suggestion the event, which it has supported for 23 years, would be jeopardised by an accessible path. Australian Associated Press

Add the crushed tomatoes, season with salt and pepper to taste and simmer on medium-low for about 15 minutes, add basil leaves and remove from the heat.
3. Take oil in a pan and add chopped vegetables. Add salt and pepper to taste. Saute it on a medium to high heat for 2 minutes. Let it cool down.
4. In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the filling and set aside.
5. Bring a large pot of salted water up to a boil. At this point, cook the lasagna noodles.
6. Boil the lasagna noodles for about 4 minutes or until soft and pliable. Drain and rinse under cold water. Toss them with about a tablespoon of oil to stop them from all sticking together.
7. When you're ready to start assembling, ladle a little sauce in the bottom of a baking dish.
8. Preheat your ovan at 400 degree Fahrenheit.
9. Lay a lasagna noodle, add a healthy spoonful of the mixture at one end and roll it up like shown in the photo, place it seam side down in your baking dish and repeat with the remaining noodles and filling.
10. Cover the lasagna rolls with the sauce and sprinkle over the mozzarella and parmiggiano.
11. Bake it @ 400 degree Fahrenheit for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
12. Serve it with Garlic bread.

Spied: Mercedes launching CLS-based shooting brake to compete against Fisker Surf
http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1067248_2013-mercedes-benz-cls-shooting-brake-spy-shots
Originally Posted by Motor Authority
The Mercedes-Benz CLS ignited the four-door coupe market when it was first introduced back in 2004, and since then we've seen several other luxury rivals attempt to emulate the design with cars like the Porsche Panamera, Aston Martin Rapide and recently launched Audi A7.
With the second-generation CLS, which went on sale earlier this year, Mercedes is set to popularize a niche segment once again, this time reinvigorating the 'Shooting Brake' bodystyle as previewed by the stunning concept version from 2010.
Pictured here is a prototype for a production CLS Shooting Brake from Mercedes-Benz, and given its almost showroom look we could be seeing it formally unveiled in the very near future, perhaps as early as the 2012 Geneva Motor Show next March.
With four doors and a rear cargo area, the CLS Shooting Brake is more of an estate/wagon than a true shooting brake, which is typically a two-door, extended-rear, coupe-based car.
Nevertheless, we're glad to see that Mercedes' design team has stayed true to the gorgeous lines of the previous concept, guaranteeing that this new model will be one of the hottest cars on sale next year. Note, one feature that doesn't appear to have made production is the concept's awesome panoramic glass sunroof.
Expect the base 'CLS350' model to feature a 3.5-liter V-6 rated at 306 horsepower and 272 pound-feet of torque, while the 'CLS550' should sport the same twin-turbocharged 4.6-liter V-8 found in the current CLS550 coupe and be rated at 402 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque.
Of course, expect a high-performance CLS63 AMG Shooting Brake model complete with the Affalterbach tuner's twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V-8 channeling 518 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque through the rear wheels.
Look out for the new Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake in showrooms next summer, most likely as a 2013 model.
Note, this isn't the only shooting brake Mercedes-Benz is thought to be working on. A version based on the smaller 'BLS' four-door coupe is reported to also be in the works.
Compared to the Fisker Surf:
RE: Spied: Mercedes launching CLS-based shooting brake to compete against Fisker Surf
I'm not a big fan of the Surf (the design of the Karma is much more balanced) but I definitely prefer the Surf over the CLS Shooting Brake. That looks like it was designed to carry people from the morgue to the cemetery.
kabalah70
Looks more like a station wagon to me. But I guess no one wants to call it that because it would not sell. Just like Volvo calling them estate cars. The Ferrari FF is a shooting brake. I can't really see this Mercedes counting as one. Oh well, Wiki'ed it and I guess they are synonymous. Whatever, lets have eighteen different words for the same thing so nobody can understand what we are talking about. We should be making life simplier not more complex.

I am not fan of shooting brake/estate/station wagon/crossover cars, but if I were forced to pick one of these, I would say that the straight roof line of the Fisker looks more natural to me for this type of car than the curved roof of the Merc. I am sure there are people somewhere who like cars in this format and I hope they are happy.

United States President Donald Trump on Sunday assured 'great ally' Japan of America's full support after North Korea, in an apparent provocation, test fired a ballistic missile, which was denounced by the visiting Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe as 'absolutely intolerable'.
"I just want everybody to understand and fully know that the United States of America stands behind Japan, its great ally, 100 per cent," Trump said in a brief statement during a joint news conference with Abe. He did not elaborate.
His comments came after Abe denounced the North's missile launch -- the first after Trump became the US President -- at a hastily organised joint briefing at Mar-a-Lago in Florida.
The news conference lasted for less than three minutes.
"North Korea's most recent missile launch is absolutely intolerable," Abe told reporters. "North Korea must fully comply with the relevant UN Security Council resolutions."
The two leaders were talking to reporters after spending the day at a golf course and discussing US-Asia engagement.
"During the summit meeting that I had with President Trump, he assured me that the US will always [be with] Japan 100 per cent, and to demonstrate his determination as well as commitment, he is here with me at this joint press conference," Abe, who spoke via a translator, said.
In a statement, the US Strategic Command said it detected a North Korean launch of a medium- or intermediate-range ballistic missile. It occurred near the north-western city of Kusong and the missile was tracked over North Korea and into the Sea of Japan.
The North American Aerospace Defence Command determined the missile launch from the North did not pose a threat to North America, the statement said.
Earlier, the South Korean defence ministry had said that North Korea fired a ballistic missile to 'provoke' the new United States President.
The missile was launched at around 7.55 am (local time) from Banghyon air base in the western province of North Pyongan. It flew 500 kilometres towards the Sea of Japan (East Sea) before falling into it, a defence ministry spokesman said.
'It is believed that today's (Sunday's) missile launch ... is aimed at drawing global attention to the North by boasting its nuclear and missile capabilities,' the ministry said in a statement.
It is also believed that it was an armed provocation to test the response from the new US administration under President Trump, it added.

Q: How to merge two dict lists on key - Python? I have two dict lists that I am trying to merge on a unique key but I cannot get my head around how to approach this.
dict 1:
A = {'1': [{'A': 'A_1', 'start': 'S'}, {'A': 'A_2', 'start': 'M'}],
'2': [{'A': 'A_1', 'start': 'S'}, {'A': 'A_2', 'start': 'M'}]}

dict 2:
B = {'1': [{'l_1': 'www.l_1', 'l_2': 'www.l_2'}],
'2': [{'l_1': 'www.myl_1', 'l_2': 'www.myl_2'}]}

What I am trying to achieve:
combined = {'1': [{'A': 'A_1', 'start': 'S', 'l_1': 'www.l_1', 'l_2': 'www.l_2'}, {'A': 'A_2', 'start': 'M', 'l_1': 'www.l_1', 'l_2': 'www.l_2'}],
'2': [{'A': 'A_1', 'start': 'S', 'l_1': 'www.myl_1', 'l_2': 'www.myl_2'}, {'A': 'A_2', 'start': 'M', 'l_1': 'www.myl_1', 'l_2': 'www.myl_2'}]}

Below is the code that I have written so far. But it does not provide me with the desired result..
from itertools import chain
from collections import defaultdict

dict3 = defaultdict(list)
for k, v in chain(A.items(), B.items()):
    dict3[k].append(v)

print(dict3)

A: You can use itertools.product to merge dict values from corresponding keys and then use Python 3's dict merge syntax:
from itertools import product

dct =  {k: [{**d1, **d2} for d1, d2 in product(v, B[k])]
                                           for k, v in A.items()}

In Python 2, you can apply a comprehension on the tuples from product, and build a merged dict from the elements:
dct =  {key: [{k: v for d in tup for k, v in d.items()}
                  for tup in product(val, B[key])]
                                 for key, val in A.items()}

{'1': [{'A': 'A_1', 'l_1': 'www.l_1', 'l_2': 'www.l_2', 'start': 'S'},
       {'A': 'A_2', 'l_1': 'www.l_1', 'l_2': 'www.l_2', 'start': 'M'}],
 '2': [{'A': 'A_1', 'l_1': 'www.myl_1', 'l_2': 'www.myl_2', 'start': 'S'},
       {'A': 'A_2', 'l_1': 'www.myl_1', 'l_2': 'www.myl_2', 'start': 'M'}]}

A: for i in a:
    if i in b:

        for j in range(min(len(a[i]),len(b[i]))):
            a[i][j]=dict(a[i][j].items()+b[i][j].items()) #re-assign after combining

        if len(b[i])>len(a[i]):       # length case
             for j in range(len(a[i]),len(b[i])):
                  a[i].append(b[i][j])

for i in b:         # if not in a
   if i not in a:
     a[i]=b[i]
print a

Mysterious landscapes of Mustang including walled city Lo-manthang, Charang, Ghami village.
Large numbers of ancient monasteries with primitive monuments, caves, etc.
Three full days of Tiji Festival oberservation and celebration with dancing and traditional music.
Tiji Festival Lo Manthang also known as Upper Mustang Tiji Festival Trek is now open to book with Unique Adventure International. The dates of the festival have been published. The Tiji festival this year will be celebrated on 12th, 13th and 14th May 2018.
Join us and experience like never before the traditions, culture and history of the forbidden kingdom of Nepal lying beyond White Mountains on the northern side of country. While our trekkers trek on the famous trail of Upper Mustang trekking our guide will be very handy to explain all the trekkers about the information on Tiji Festival. Tiji is a captivating yearly three-day celebration comprising of Tibetan customs that praise the myth of a child who needed to spare the Mustang kingdom from obliteration. The celebration is indigenous to Lo-Manthang, Upper Mustang. "Tiji" the name is a shortened form of "Tempa Chirim" which signifies "Supplication for World Peace". This celebration honors the triumph of Lord Buddha's incarnation Dorjee Sonnu over an evil spirit called Man Tam Ru a horrible animal nourishing on people and causing tempests and dry spells. Upper Mustang Tiji Festival Trek or Tiji Festival Lo Manthang has been so splendid cultural yet adventurous walking journey ever.
The Tiji celebration generally happens around mid May and goes on for 3 days. The priests of Lo Manthang's "Choedhe" religious community perform custom moves amid the festival. The provocation of Ma Tam Ru Ta (in a move called "Tsa Chham" on the principal day), the introduction of Dorjee Sonnu as the evil presence's child (on the second day called "Nga Chham") and the endeavor to restore the devil to Lord Buddha's domain (on the third and last day) are instituted amid the exhibitions. The Tiji celebration moves are altogether composed by the Choedhe Monastery, which has a place with the Sakya organization of Buddhism. The religious community is going by a Rimpoche. Around 65 priests from Lo Manthang, Nhenyul and Chhosyer live in this religious community.

The reasons I choose Unique Adventure International P.Ltd. Trekking for a trek to Mustang in 2008, and again a few weeks ago (April 2013) for a trek to Gokyo and Renjo La, is primarily because of the company's responses to specific requests I made. When I shopped around on the web to determine who to trek with, Unique provided me with the fastest and most comprehensive replies to all of my questions. They are also very flexible and can tailor trips to whatever the client needs. I also found that, as a Nepalese company, they are cheaper than Western based outfits. If you book through an outfit in the UK, the US or Australia for instance, you will pay 20-30% more for the "benefit" of dealing with someone local. However most Western based outfits will generally subcontract to companies like Unique for local services, so you are paying more than you should for no real reason. Khum Subedi (one of Unique's owners) and his brother Krishna (who answers most emails) speak and write very good English, so communications have never been a problem for me. Even during the trek, the guides are fluent in English, so you don't need Western based guides that add to the cost.
It is also noticeable how well trained the guides and porters selected by Unique are. A good guide/porter will walk either just ahead, or just behind a client, not too close as to get in the way and not to far either. My guide (who happened to be Krishna Subedi) and both my porters (Nima and Pasang) in my last trek followed my pace and provided the right path suggestions when things got tricky (particularly during the descent from Renjo La in freezing cold near whiteout conditions).
Finally, and I can't stress how important this is in Nepal, Unique provide you with Western toilet seats for any kind of trip! I have bad knees and this made a huge difference in comfort. If you choose them be sure to ask for this little extra service, it doesn't cost anything more but makes life much more comfortable!

I load a DV resolution Lower field .avi video clip such as a Digital Juice animated background into the Backdrop and after I render it in LightWave and play it back the DV video clip I loaded into the Backdrop no longer plays smoothly as if the fields were not interpreted correctly when imported as a backdrop.
I've been using Odd fields first for all my rendering and that works great for all my DV projects in Adobe Premiere. I tried both Odd and Even fields and Even fields made it worse.
Here are the tests I've done so far. I render an animation with no backdrop in LightWave with Odd fields and that works fine when I import the rendered TGA files into Premiere using Lower fields and it plays back smoothly in the timeline. Premiere uses Lower fields in DV mode just like video shot with a DV camcorder so I know I have that set right.
I render out that LightWave animation in Premiere and export it as a new DV.avi file. I then load that new DV.avi clip into LightWave as a backdrop and render that out into TGA files again using Odd fields setting. I import the new TGA's into Premiere again and it now stutters and no longer plays back smoothly.
My main problem is importing DV.avi clips of my Digital Juice animated backgrounds as a backdrop to render a LightWave animation on top of them. When I try to do this the animation on top of the Backdrop plays smoothly in but the Digital Juice animated background underneath the LightWave animation stutters as if the fields were reversed.
Any ideas on how to resolve this? I saw no way to adjust fields in the Backdrop like you can in Surfaces.
In the image editor, in the source tab you can set the interlace to odd first, even first or off.

Q: Assembly that expose classes from other I have 3rdparty A1.dll, A2.dll with classes AClass.
I reference it from my B1 and B2 dlls, but I want to to it another way:
I want to have my X.dll using A1+A2 and B1, B2 using X. It is important that all namespaces and classes should be the same in X and A1+A2.
EDIT:
X should be my copy of A1, A2 - I can even use X1, X2. Then I can use one license of A1, A2 - for X, not for all exec&dlls I would use in der future.

A: So if I understand you correctly you want X.DLL to stand in for the 3rd party DLL's.  You can achieve this with an Adapter pattern.  The fact that you want to preserve all namespaces and classes is quite scary.  Those collisions are going to be quite troublesome.  You will likely have to resort to using aliasing directives to maintain some level of sanity.  (Why would you do this if you have control of B.DLL and X.DLL?)
That being said here is a pattern for X.DLL adapters which does not use a collision naming scheme...
class Adapter: IAdapter//Adapter is a member of X.DLL
{
     public AClass aClassMember = new AClass();//A.DLL or A2.DLL member
     public void ExposeAClass() {};
}

Then you can reference X.DLL from B.DLL.
   class BClass
   {
        public IAdapter myAdapter = new Adapter();//Access X's adapter to expose A.  Could take a step further with dependency injection...
   }

The dependency diagram would look like this (give or take the interfaces.dll)

A: Do you mean: A1.dll & A2.dll are defining the same type name in the same namespace, and you're having troubles when you want to reference both A1 & A2 in X.dll and use one of these two types ?
To solve that, you could use "extern aliases". That's a quite unknown feature of C#:
Add an extern alias on the dll you ant (right click on assembly's reference -> properties)

And then, at the top of your .cs file, just put:
extern alias myAlias;
using okType = myAlias::DuplicateNamespace.DuplciateType;

and use it in the code:
var my = new okType();

ps: My answer may be irrelevant if I misunderstood you :)
