Although the October rally has recaptured the hearts and minds of the bullish camp, the major averages as a whole are barely positive for the year heading into the final 60 days. Investors have been through the Fed wringer all year and teased about a rate hike despite the dependent data clearly pointing to a general slowing of economic activity since the second quarter. Last week's Fed statement following the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting was again in keeping with the prior statements, pointing to December for a possible hike of a quarter point in the Fed Funds rate.
Underlying the 1.5% read on third-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) growth was a lag in inventory builds, which can be attributed to the 3.9% read in the second quarter due to a larger inventory build. Low interest rates and lower gas prices are beginning to translate into higher consumer spending, which accounts for two thirds of economic growth. So the Fed is targeting the consumer as a basis for finally getting what the central bankers have been yearning for and, if the forward data during November comes in as forecast, a year-end rate bump is a very possible scenario.
With this interest rate outlook in play, getting lathered up over a quarter-point hike is hardly warranted, whereas the importance of China's economy showing signs of stabilizing is much more impactful to the United States and global equity markets. The recent third-quarter GDP read of 6.9% for China's economy came in under the psychological 7.0% level, but the evidence of an economy transitioning from one of manufacturing/export to one more consumer/services oriented is taking hold. As the People's Bank of China (PBOC) continues to cut interest rates and reduce the bank's reserve requirements, the value of the yuan will experience further devaluation in order to make Chinese imports less expensive, thereby benefiting the Chinese consumer.
Speaking of Chinese imports, the country is ramping up its strategic petroleum reserves (SPR). China may add as many as 100,000 barrels a day of oil to strategic stockpiles this year and increase it to 200,000 barrels a day in 2016, according to a report in May from PIRA Energy Group, a New York-based energy consultant. The government has filled four sites in the first phase with 91 million barrels of crude, the National Bureau of Statistics said on Nov. 20. The second phase, which includes the Qingdao and Huizhou sites, is designed to take in 168 million barrels, according to Gao Shixian, a deputy director at the National Development Reform and Commission's energy research institute. So how is all of this oil getting to China for storage?
Huge oil tankers, that's how. One recent new buy recommendation at Cash Machine is a sector leader, Ship Finance International (SFL), operator of a fleet of 19 oil tankers, 14 dry bulk carriers, 17 container vessels, two car carriers, two jack-up drilling rigs, two ultra-deepwater drilling units, six offshore supply vessels and two chemical tankers. As crude imports rise along with cheaper goods for consumer consumption, the top and bottom line for Ship Finance will show continued strength, already trending from prior quarters.
Investing in shipping stocks has always been a risky proposition as the day rates for ocean-going charters tend to be highly volatile. Ship Finance places more emphasis on longer-term charter rates as opposed to what are called the "spot market" prices. As such, revenue and profit growth are more stable quarter to quarter. And the one-year chart of SFL stock above attests to this more inherent stability.
Back in the month of June, the stock chart shows what is known as a "golden cross" where the 20-day and 50-day moving averages move up through the 200-day moving average, a very bullish technical pattern. And money flow also has been steadily improving to further support a move higher. The company is due to post earnings and declare its next quarterly dividend by the end of December and both events should bolster a further rise in the share price heading into these announcements.
Best of all though, the current dividend yield is 10.4%, a very attractive payout for income investors that are in agreement with this investment thesis. The current annual payout is $1.76 and the company is forecast to earn $2.06 per share for the next year, which provides ample coverage to support the lofty payout. The bottom line with SFL is if investors can collect 10.4% in dividend yield and the stock appreciates just 3 points from its current price of $17, 2016 could generate a total return above 25%.
In case you missed it, I encourage you to read my e-letter column from last week about the effects of the European Central Bank's recent economic stimulus. I also invite you to comment in the space provided below.

TI Media publishes new research on mass-market women
TI Media yesterday unveiled the results of its flagship 'Heart of Britain' research for 2019, which reveals a number of new insights about the audience commonly labelled as 'mass-market women' (MMW).
Sam Finlay: "We wanted to recognise what this often-misunderstood audience looks like in Britain in 2019."
According to TI Media, in terms of audience size, this market dwarfs the two most talked-about advertising targets, Millennials and ABs, and yet have increasingly felt neglected and misunderstood. They also collectively earn and spend more than any one demographic group, and are far more valuable than advertisers think.
The survey, which included a national representation of 3,000, revealed a number of key findings and highlighted four broad pillars which underpin these women's lives: their Strength in the Community; Economic Power; Savviness; and being the 'Original Influencer' in the home and beyond, holding the purse strings for decisions surrounding cosmetics, clothes, household, tech, holidays/travel and cars.
"Traditionally known as mass-market women or simply 'housewives', we wanted to recognise what this often-misunderstood audience looks like in Britain in 2019 and found a confident, resilient, capable and downright heroic group who feel increasingly marginalised," says Sam Finlay, chief revenue officer at TI Media. "The insight gained from this research will not only help advertisers better understand this audience, but it will also help guide our editorial forward in the months ahead."
According to the research, the 'Heart of Britain' spend intelligently, rather than purely cutting costs for costs' sake. Brand trust plays a big part, and respondents noted that they'd rather pay a little more for a brand name to ensure quality, and interrogate deals that seem too good to be true. Online grocery shopping is taking a back seat to physically visiting a store, and brand loyalty is more about the product than the store itself. So, whilst shopping online is still popular, combining it with the in-store experience is key for respondents.
Household purchasing decisions might be made jointly, but this audience influences these purchases and brings ideas to the home, finding them first in media such as magazines (including advertising), word of mouth and social media. As the sole decision maker on purchasing cosmetics (86%), household goods (59%) and tech (54%), they look to their magazines and friends for inspiration and recommendations.
Respondents do engage with a variety of media on a daily basis but it's magazines that continue to play an important role in respondent's lifestyles, from using them in their downtime to gleaning recommendations for travel and fashion, as well as enjoying the emotional journey they take them on.
The primary reason for purchasing a magazine is to relax and unwind, with 20% of 'Heart of Britain' habitually buying a magazine once a week, and 34% up to three times a month. Sharing magazines also enhances their sense of community, an important pillar to this audience.
Crucially for marketeers, they see magazine advertising as part of the experience and appreciate that the right advert adds value to their consumer journey.
The survey, in partnership with Differentology, was conducted with a stakeholder workshop, followed by filmed ethnography and peer-to-peer semi-structured research groups and a 20-minute online survey to 3,000 respondents.
In terms of audience size, 'Heart of Britain' dwarf the two most talked-about advertising targets, millennials (16,397,000) and ABs (14,266,000), at 26,259,00, with women making up 14m of this figure.
Collectively, this audience also earn more than any one demographic group with £350bn total income versus £324bn for ABs and £191bn for millennials.
45% say Instagram "is of no importance to me", they are happy and confident with Whatsapp, and they prefer to be more of an observer on Facebook.
38% of MMW are influenced by clothes/shoes/accessories adverts, compared to 32% of niche women (ABs). Food and drink adverts sway 38% of MMW, compared to 29% of niche women, and 36% of MMW are influenced by cosmetics and personal care adverts, as opposed to 32% of niche women.
67% use magazines to keep up-to-date on gossip, compared to 56% using television and 65% using social media. Hot topics include women's health at 66% (compared to television at 49%), and fashion and beauty at 71% (compared to 57% via social media).
20% purchase a magazine at least once a week, with 34% purchasing between one and three times a month.

Inbound marketing is a methodology that is quickly growing throughout the marketing world and is becoming a popular format for growing businesses. However, there are still some areas of confusion for inbound beginners that may create doubt. Here are some common inbound myths that we'd like to set straight.
Though inbound marketing has proven to be more cost effective than outbound marketing in the long-run, you should keep in mind that there are still initial costs that can add-up depending on your situation. Because inbound marketing is digitally-focused, creating and maintaining platforms for content can prove to be costly if they need to be created from scratch or completely revamped. When determining if inbound marketing is right for you, consider the costs that you may incur from items such as web-development and labor for content creation.
On the contrary, both sales and marketing rely on each other in the inbound process. "Smarketing", a term defined by HubSpot, details an alignment between sales and marketing. According to HubSpot, "Companies with strong sales and marketing alignment get 20% annual revenue growth." The idea is that both sides of the coin have information that is pertinent to the other, and when shared, each gain in their perspective fields for a more unified environment.
What is unique about the inbound process is that you can very thoroughly follow leads as they go through the sales funnel. Using the system of attracting, converting, closing and engaging customers, you will gain insight into your company's strengths and weaknesses. Within each section, there are opportunities to track effectiveness and measure campaign success. Ultimately, you will find information on ROI when considering clients that have gone all the way through the marketing funnel.
As mentioned before, each part in the funnel is essential to the inbound marketing process. Each step will bring your company closer to a happy customer, and no one step is ignored.
Though having a lot of traffic on your site is important, if that traffic does not convert to leads, it is basically ineffective. Again, the end goal of the inbound process is to gain a happy customer, and merely having heavy web traffic does not guarantee that you will be successful in gaining one. Instead, focus on indicators such as clicks and conversion rates.
Consistently blogging will help provide valuable content, and will more than likely improve your company's SEO, but without any other platform use, it does not really improve movement through the sales funnel. A full inbound campaign will also include items such as calls-to-action, landing pages, email marketing and the use of social media. When a full campaign is embraced, movement in the funnel will increase.
Again, utilizing a complete campaign will better set you for successfully completing your goals. In most cases, you will still need to make use of traditional marketing tools such as a company website and in-person networking in order to be fully lucrative.
It's not that you're using social media that will gain viewers trust; it's what you are sharing on your social media that will. If you prove that you are knowledgeable and a true thought-leader in the industry, customers will trust that they can rely on your information. Simply sharing posts from other thought-leaders will not do the trick.
Like with anything else, being well-organized and planning ahead will do you wonders. There are tools such as HubSpot for social media and blogging organization, and creating an editorial calendar will help in effectively planning ahead. Because you can plan and write posts ahead of time, you will save a lot more time than if you had done them each individually.
Let's face it, in this economy people appreciate anything that is free or discounted. Allowing customers to "try" your company out will help them gain trust, and really see how your products/services can help. Once they realize how great your products/services are, they will appreciate the great deal you provided for them.
So there they are; ten myths that have hung around the inbound world like a ghost. I hope you gained some helpful insight from this debunking and have a clearer understanding of the inbound marketing process. Feel free to contact us with any questions that you may have sticking around!


Hi, I'm very new to the juicing board...actually, I'm quite new to juicing in general.
This whole juicing journey began a few days ago for me (Day Four on a juice fast with one 'slip up' on day two. OOOH SUSHI I love, yet despise you.) and began weeks ago for my mother. My mom is quite a 'natural remedy' woman and when she saw the juicing Joe Cross movie thingy on netflix, she was inspired to try the same. My father and I are overweight, so we joined in too, knowing full well the horror stories of the dreaded THIRD DAY and cravings.
Dear Lord above, if I don't have some peanut butter in my system, I feel like garbage. My life for the past few months consist of a peanut butter sandwich on white for lunch every day. The sudden crash landing from the high flying, yet slowly dying eat whatever I like flight has turned sour today, and yesterday. Yesterday more so than today, but still.
I got teary eyed when I saw a jar of chunky peanut butter on the counter.
I contemplated stealing a peanut butter sandwich crust from my younger sib's leftover lunch.
I have even thought about finding a way to smooth over the top layer of peanut butter in the jar so I could sneakily eat...oh, say about twenty tablespoons?
I'm going through a serious craving spree, and I'd just like to know What are your cravings, and how do you get through the temptations?

than I would just have some peanut butter and have less tomorrow. That way you still get to have a little bit and don't go crazy and eat the whole jar (something I would do!) Just keep decreasing the amount. Good Luck.

The success of the World Cup in Brazil doesn't mean that organizers of the 2016 Olympics can afford to relax, Rio de Janeiro Mayor Eduardo Paes said Thursday.
Paes said the football tournament eased some of the concerns of both the International Olympic Committee and the media about the preparations, but said the city will keep working at full speed to make sure the games are delivered successfully.
Although there is still a lot of work to be done, both in infrastructure projects and venues, the mayor said "we are on budget and on time" to have everything ready.
"We are very proud of the World Cup we delivered, but we are not relaxing because we delivered a great World Cup," Paes said in a speech to international journalists at the Maracana Stadium. "Obviously it helped us send a message to those who were concerned about our capability of delivering these big events, but we are perfectly aware of the differences."
Paes said that although the Olympics take place mostly in a single city instead of the 12 used in the World Cup, Rio will have several additional challenges.
He noted that while about 700 players from 32 countries came for the World Cup, there will be nearly 15,000 athletes from more than 100 nations at the Olympics. The number of volunteers will also be significantly higher, and having all fans in the city at the same time will create mobility difficulties.
"We know we are talking about something completely different," Paes said. "I know there will be a lot of pressure in the next few years, but we are looking a little bit better because we delivered the World Cup."
There were chronic delays in infrastructure projects and stadium construction before the World Cup, raising serious doubts about whether the country would be ready. Although not all the work was completed, the event went on as planned without any significant problems for teams or fans.
"I'm convinced the games will be every bit as magical as the World Cup," said Larry Probst, chair of the IOC press commission.
Paes said Olympic organizers have addressed most of the problems that prompted some sports federations to publicly criticize the city's preparations a few months ago. Many of the issues were related to the Deodoro cluster of venues, where construction began only recently.
"There were some problems, but now it's all completely in our hands," Paes said.
With two years to go, Rio organizers say 55 percent of all the venues are "ready or being adapted."
That list includes venues such as the Olympic Stadium, which is undergoing major renovation because of a faulty roof.
"They (IOC) are happy with what we are showing," said Carlos Nuzman, head of the local organizing committee.
Paes said he hopes the 2016 Games will be marked by the legacy it will leave to Rio, and said the city has done a good job in saving public money and using mostly private funds to create this legacy.
"We don't have the British punctuality, but I think we are doing pretty good here," Paes said of his city's preparations.

John Lennon's solo albums re-released to mark late Beatle's 70th birthday
aaamusic | On 30, Jun 2010
John Lennon's solo albums have been remastered to mark the late singer's 70th birthday.
Yoko Ono and a team of engineers led by Allan Rouse at London'sAbbey Road Studios and by George Marino at New York's Avatar Studios have helped re-work all eight of his albums and several newly-compiled titles.
"In this very special year, which would have seen my husband and life partner John reach the age of 70, I hope that this remastering/reissue programme will help bring his incredible music to a whole new audience," Ono said.
"By remastering 121 tracks spanning his solo career, I hope also that those who are already familiar withJohn's work will find renewed inspiration from his incredible gifts as a songwriter, musician and vocalist and from his power as a commentator on the human condition. His lyrics are as relevant today as they were when they were first written."
All of the remastered albums and collections will be available on CD and for download around the time of Lennon's birthday on October 9.

Naloxone (sometimes referred to by one of its brand names 'Narcan') is an 'opioid antagonist'. It is used to counter the effects of an opioid overdose by reversing life-threatening depression of both the central nervous and respiratory systems, allowing overdose victims to resume normal breathing.
Naloxone is not a controlled substance. It is not addictive and it often does not require a prescription. Naloxone only works if someone has opioids in their system. It has no effect if opioids are not present. This makes it completely safe to use as a precaution on those suspected of experiencing opioid overdose without, for example, a medical professional present to confirm that opioids are in the patient's system.
Naloxone has no potential for abuse. It is completely legal and has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). You can't get high from it and it is safe for nearly everyone. It has been used in programs and by medical professionals all over the world to effectively reverse opioid overdoses. But still many people don't know about naloxone and a rapidly growing number of people continue to die each year due to opioid overdoses.
There are three kinds of naloxone- one that can be sprayed into the nostrils, one that can be injected through clothing into a muscle, and an auto-injector (also injected, but best with skin to skin contact).
Naloxone can act as an important tool for empowering communities to protect their health. Being revived by naloxone means a patient is thrown into immediate withdrawal. Most overdose survivors describe being saved by naloxone as a harrowing experience. It is for this reason that, rather than enabling drug use, a naloxone revival is often a powerful motivator for the patient to reach out for help overcoming their addiction.
According The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, naloxone reversed more than 10,000 overdose cases between 1996 and 2010.

Davenport will be with you every step of the way to help finance your education.
Davenport awards more than $15 million in institutional and Foundation scholarships each year. More than 95% of our students receive financial aid. Once accepted, all applications are automatically reviewed for scholarship eligibility. Apply early for the best scholarship opportunities. You must complete your free application for federal student aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.gov as soon as possible to be eligible for a scholarship and to maximize your financial aid availability.
Note: Most Davenport scholarships are disbursed toward tuition, fees and books after all federal and state aid (excluding student loans) has been applied. External scholarships can be used to cover other University costs such as books or on-campus room and board. The scholarship payment process will not result in a refund to the student. Students can receive scholarships for a maximum of four academic years. For undergraduates, once a bachelor's degree is earned, the scholarship will not renew even if the four-year limit has not been reached.
Awards are based on high school or college GPA. ACT or SAT scores are also required to determine eligibility for incoming freshman and transfer students.
Davenport's commitment to helping students fund their education also includes the scholarships listed below. These scholarships are awarded automatically based on the student's application and required qualifications.
BPA, DECA, HOSA or Skills USA regional participant and 2.5 GPA. Submit a copy of your certificate to the Financial Aid Office.
Employed with a company that is in good standing with the Chamber of Commerce. Students new to Davenport Winter 2018 and later cannot combine this scholarship with other Davenport scholarships, grants, or discounts.
Not automatically renewable. The Community Leader Scholarship is not able to be combined (stackable) with other Davenport academic scholarships for students starting winter semester 2018 or after.
Read each question carefully and complete all areas of the application.
Complete the FAFSA if you have not yet done so. Data from the FAFSA is used in the awarding process for various scholarships.
Nearly every county in the State of Michigan has a community foundation that provides scholarships to students. Davenport encourages students to research their local community foundation and learn how to apply for these scholarships.
There are many scholarship search engines available for students to use. These search engines can pinpoint scholarships based on your particular major, interests, where you live and other demographics. The links provided are some of the most popular and useful search engines.
Do not pay for a scholarship search. The search options Davenport lists are free searches; however, we encourage students and parents to read carefully all the information.
Do not pay to apply for a scholarship. Do not pay for any kind of "processing" fee. Scholarships offered from legitimate sources do not require any fees.
Set up a separate email account through yahoo, google, hotmail or some other service. Use this separate email just for your scholarship searches. Some scholarship searches do send out advertisements, and using an email account separate from your personal account will better protect your personal account from unwanted emails.
Research scholarships beyond just what the search engines provide.
Be very careful about providing confidential information. You should never have to submit your social security number or anything similar to that. If in doubt, contact your Davenport financial aid counselor.
Davenport University provides institutional funding for student scholarships based on several factors that include but are not limited to the following: merit, financial need and/or other published scholarship criteria.
Student must file a FAFSA (excluding international students).
Student must meet specific criteria and deadline dates as required for each scholarship. Scholarships have limited funds; therefore, early application to the university is encouraged.
Student must provide the University with all requested information before the scholarship can be awarded.
Scholarships are awarded for the current semester going forward. We do not retroactively award scholarships.
Student must demonstrate the academic excellence goals of Davenport University by meeting minimum CGPA as specified by the criteria of the scholarships.
Student who fails to meet a required CGPA to maintain a scholarship, but meets the requirements of a different scholarship, will receive that new scholarship. Student who has extenuating circumstances can appeal to the Financial Aid Office.
Student must be enrolled in classes at least half-time (minimum of 6 credit hours) except for the Study Abroad Scholarships.
The award year for scholarships is defined as fall and winter semesters. Any unused funds for the award year may be used spring/summer (not to exceed the per semester maximum).
Student must begin using the scholarship within the award year of selection.
Student can receive only one DU institutional scholarship within the award year. If a student qualifies for multiple scholarships, the student will receive the most beneficial scholarship.
Students who are eligible for both a DU institutional scholarship and a tuition discount due to a Davenport partnership agreement will receive the more beneficial program.
Scholarships will cover up to tuition, fees and books after all federal and state aid (excluding student loans and work study) has been applied. External scholarships (Ex: Rotary Clubs, churches, etc.) can be used to cover other University costs such as books or room and board, but will not result in a refund to the student.

MILITARY HISTORY AND AIRCRAFT
B52 STRATOFORTRESS
MOTORBOOKS INTERNATIONAL
Autor : Bill Yenne
Izdavač : MOTORBOOKS INTERNATIONAL
The B-52 is the longest serving and most versatile of the United States Air Force's combat aircraft. The Stratofortress entered active service in 1955 and is scheduled to continue as part of the air force's inventory through 2040. The jet-powered bomber was a mainstay of America's Cold War nuclear-deterrent strategy, providing air power that balanced the land and sea military forces. The massive plane also served as the launch platform for the experimental X-15 hypersonic rocket aircraft. Due to its versatility as an aircraft, the B-52 has seen combat service in all of America's military conflicts since it came on active duty: Vietnam, the first and second Gulf wars, and the War in Afghanistan.
B-52 Stratofortress also covers every aspect of the aircraft's development, manufacture, and modification. These technical details set the stage for its military service, starting with its role as a nuclear bomber in the Cold War even though only conventional weapons have been used during its combat duty. The airplane's service in key campaigns in Vietnam is covered, followed by the quieter years after it. The B-52 returned to prominence in the Gulf Wars and Afghanistan, taking part in massive bombing campaigns in both conflicts. Finally, the book ends with the constant upgrades that will keep the B-52 an integral part of U.S. airpower for decades to come.

Does Diaper Rash Cream Expire? (And Can You Use It Anyway)
Diapers, Expiration, Hygiene, Nursery, Skincare / By Joshua Bartlett / Last Updated on March 9, 2021
Have you ever looked at a tube of expired diaper rash cream and wondered if it was still safe to use? Did you ever wonder if diaper rash cream expired in the first place?
Diaper rash cream typically expires after three years if unopened and after one year after opening, depending on the ingredients and manufacturer's recommendation. Natural products containing essential oils tend to spoil faster, while standard creams containing zinc oxide as the active ingredient will usually remain safe to use for longer.
It is important to consider the ingredients, storage method, appearance, consistency, and smell of the cream in determining if it is still appropriate to use on your baby. Even factors such as humidity, sunlight, and heat impact the shelf life of ingredients in diaper rash cream!
Does diaper rash cream really expire?
How long does diaper rash cream last?
Does expired diaper rash cream work?
Is it bad to use expired diaper rash cream?
Does Desitin diaper rash cream expire?
Does A&D diaper rash cream expire?
Does Aquaphor expire?
The actual shelf life of the cream varies depending on its ingredients and how well it has been stored. In the case of natural creams containing essential oils, it is best to discard after the expiration date due to the potential for skin irritation.
Creams containing zinc oxide should be carefully evaluated by parents to determine if the smell, texture, or color has changed. Changes in these qualities can indicate that important inactive ingredients are disintegrating, reducing the effectiveness of the cream and potentially causing irritation.
As a medication, the FDA requires that diaper rash ointments have an expiration date. As an over the counter medication, the creams do not typically have to be reviewed and approved by the FDA, but they do have to comply with existing FDA regulations to be marketed.
Most creams have an expiration date on the box and crimp of the tube. The expiration date does not necessarily mean that the product will be spoiled after that date, it simply means that the manufacturer can no longer guarantee the stability of the item after that point.
Diaper rash creams, sunscreens, and other skincare products can be less effective after their expiration date and not fully protect your child, so it is important to carefully consider factors such as whether the cream has changed in appearance and how long it has been expired. The questions of "Should I use this cream that expired last month?" and "Can I use this cream that expired five years ago?" probably have very different answers!
It is hard to determine exactly how long diaper rash cream lasts because this depends on the brand and ingredients, but expiration dates are generally set in a range of 1 to 3 years. Some ingredients have an indefinite shelf life because of their chemical properties, and other ingredients begin oxidizing somewhat quickly and will become useless or harmful around the time of expiration.
Exposure to heat, light, and oxygen also affects the chemical process of ingredients and impacts the preservation and spoilage of the cream. A general rule of thumb is to store diaper rash cream in a cool, dark location and to keep the cap tightly sealed when not using the product. Leaving the cream in the diaper bag in your hot car for long periods of time will speed up its spoilage and lead to waste that could have been avoided.
Whether a diaper rash cream continues to work is completely dependent on the ingredients.
Natural creams are often formulated with essential oils, which oxidize over time and can lead to irritation. Oxidation happens when the atoms in the product lose electrons and bond to oxygen, which leads to chemical changes in the product and means that it chemically turns into a different substance than what you originally purchased at the store.
Standard diaper rash creams often contain zinc oxide as the active ingredient. Zinc oxide is chemically inert and unlikely to lose its effectiveness because it does not undergo chemical changes. However, the inactive ingredients in diaper rash cream also play an important role in its effectiveness, such as helping it evenly distribute it in the diaper area.
Diaper rash cream can continue to work after expiration, but the manufacturers label it with an expiration date for an important reason—they are not willing to guarantee that it will still work after that date.
Expired creams could be perfectly fine to use. You could also run the risk of using a product that will be less effective, or worse, will increase irritation.
It is best to promptly discard expired products containing essential oils, which are made from the fragrance of plants. Expired, rancid essential oils can cause skin irritation, peeling, rashes, and burns. Oxygen, light, and heat speed up this process. Just opening and using diaper rash cream exposes it to oxygen! The safest option is to use or discard natural diaper rash creams containing essential oils before the expiration date.
Carrier oils, such as olive, almond, or coconut oil, are oils that come from plants and are made of fatty acids. Carrier oils also undergo oxidization and go rancid. It is important to monitor creams containing carrier oils for changes in texture, smell, or color to be able to discard if the oil becomes rancid.
The primary active ingredient of Desitin is zinc oxide. This cream has an expiration date due to FDA regulations but likely has a longer shelf life when compared to natural products because it does not contain essential oils in the ingredient list. However, cod liver oil is an ingredient, and so a rancid smell is an important clue that your tube of Desitin should be thrown out.
The active ingredients in A&D are zinc oxide and dimethicone. We already discussed the fact that zinc oxide is inert, or chemically inactive. Dimethicone is a man-made silicone and is also inert. Therefore, both active ingredients are chemically stable and likely remain effective past their expiration date.
Inactive ingredients contain some oils, including cod liver oil and coconut oil. Before you choose to use it on your child, it is important to consider the smell, appearance, and texture of the cream. If it is separated, discolored, or smells off, it is probably spoiled and should be thrown away.
One of the primary active ingredients in Aquaphor is petrolatum or petroleum jelly. This ingredient is very long-lasting, however, an ancient container of petroleum jelly can trap bacteria and serve as a breeding ground for microorganisms. It is best to discard petroleum jelly products after their expiration date so that these germs can not continue to grow.


Request more information about the standby attorney program.
Congrats! The information you requested is on it's way. In the meantime visit our resource pages for more free tools.
The Standby Attorney Program is a monthly subscription service designed to help entrepreneurs, startups, and small business owners run their businesses with confidence knowing that an experienced attorney is on their side.
How does the Standby attorney program work?
Basically, you pay a monthly fee to have access to an experienced attorney that is also working on specific documents based on your current need as a business owner. The work that is completed for you is determined by the results of your legal check-up, and the access is for questions that come up in the everyday aspects of running a business.
Why would I need ongoing legal support or an attorney on standby?
With google at your finger tips and documents available with just one search, it's easy to think that an attorney is just a waste of your hard-earned money. But the truth is google can't replace the value of having a lawyer on your side. Here are a few reasons why hiring a lawyer on standby is worth every penny.
With this program, you are able to ask specific questions and get specific answers--not answers from people you don't know who don't know you.
Google can't read over the contracts and agreements you come across and provide you clear explanations about what you may or might not be signing. Lease reviews alone have the potential to save you thousands of dollars.
You have other things to do besides staying up late at night to research some of these issues an experienced attorney has been trained to do. Even if I don't have the answer, I have access to resources you probably do not even know about. Your time is better spent focused on your business.
Prevention is better than cure. Business lawyers are essential personnel that are able to assist your business on almost every single front. They can help you strategically set your business up to prevent crazy, unnecessary legal disputes and protect your profits. Hiring an attorney to fix a mistake takes up a lot more time and money than hiring an attorney to prevent one.
If you are serious about running your business and establishing yourself in your industry, the real question is why wouldn't you have an attorney on standby. business and brand, your need for legal assistance is inevitable. The question is, do you want to hire an attorney to fix the mess or prevent it? The choice is yours.
As a Standby Attorney Client, you receive priority treatment. As a result, all phone calls and emails will receive a response within one business day. If the specific question cannot be answered in that time frame, I will still contact you with my initial thoughts and make arrangements with you regarding when specific information will be given to you. Complex matters requiring extensive research like industry specific information may extend beyond the scope of the work in the package. However, if that is the case, that will be made known to you and you'll receive additional savings on that work.
What types of contracts and documents do you work on?
This list is not by any means exclusive, but for starters I prepare and review company bylaws, employment agreements, independent contractor agreements, non-competes, buy-sell agreements, operating agreements, confidentiality agreements, and much more.
do you do any intellectual property work?
Yes I do. I can help you with copyright filings, trademark filings, and trade secret protections. I can also help you explore ways to create more intellectual property and increase its value to you.
What if I don't know what type of legal help I need?
No problem. Our first step with every Standby Attorney client is a legal check-up. This is just like a physical but a legal one where I sit down with the business owners and ask questions about contracts, formations, record keeping, and other important legal issues. During this time, I also evaluate the state of the business as a whole with regards to pricing, marketing, and innovation. The specifics of your Standby Attorney package are based on the results of your check-up. That's how everyone makes sure that the time and money is spent on what you really need.
Whether your brand new to running your own business or ready to move your existing business to next level-this program will help you increase your profits, your efficiency, and your legal protection.

Bristol Palin: Not a Hypocrite
Gage-Skidmore-CC
Kirsten Andersen - published on 06/30/15
... but don't let the facts get in the way of your narrative.
Bristol Palin, still not married, is pregnant again just weeks after announcing the end of her second engagement, and the internet is losing its mind. Both the schadenfreude squad and the hypocrisy police were out in full force Friday morning, spamming social media with slick memes thrown together so quickly you wonder if they had them ready to go in advance in a special "break glass in case of opportunity to mock social conservatives" file.
#BristolPalin's pregnant http://t.co/L9C1onaeBo & again, it's out of wedlock. Typical #hypocrisy & behavior. pic.twitter.com/cXm9JuA0FM
— Christianne Smith (@ChristiAnne67)
First of all, let's set the record straight. Miss Palin, according to one viral talking point making the rounds on Twitter and Facebook, made $262,000 in a single year from speaking fees promoting abstinence after the birth of her first child, Tripp, with whom she became pregnant at the age of 17 – right around the time her mother, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, was running for Vice President.
Okay, everyone, clutch your pearls. Got 'em? Let's go. All together now: "How hypocritical! Why don't you practice what you preach, Palin?"
Actually, she did. Some quotes:
Speaking to Greta Van Susteren in 2009: "But I think abstinence is, like – like, the – I don't know how to put it – like, the main – everyone should be abstinent or whatever but it's not realistic at all…. Because it's more and more accepted now….[Y]ou should just wait 10 years and it'd just be so much easier."
Speaking to Dr. Drew Pinsky in 2011: "[I'm not] an abstinence preacher …. I'm not out there saying don't have sex. I hate that kind of stuff. Birth control needs to be used effectively each and every single time if you're gonna be having sex. … I'm not advocating [abstinence] for everyone else."
Bristol Palin: NOT an abstinence preacher. In fact, the speaking fees she made were from her role with the Candie's Foundation's "Pause Before You Play" campaign – an anti-teen pregnancy initiative sponsored by a charity that has honored Hillary Clinton, Katie Couric, Jane Fonda and Sex and the City's Kim Cattrall (none of whom are known as promoters of teen abstinence) as being particularly helpful to the cause. Palin was hired as a speaker not to promote abstinence, but to talk about the difficulties of being a teenage mother – something she was well-qualified to speak on, considering she was one.
I can hear the critics now: "But she's still a hypocrite! Her whole shtick has been, 'I've learned my lesson the hard way, don't make my same mistake,' And now, she's gone and done it AGAIN!"
Yes, Bristol Palin has made a living, and a rather profitable one at that, discouraging others from making the same choices she once made. That's a good thing for her and her child, since single teenage moms usually aren't known for their earning power, but it also highlights the fact that the politically and financially well-connected rarely pay for their mistakes in quite the same way the rest of us do. (Heck, I'm well into my thirties and wasn't a teenage mom, and I have never had a year that good, financially speaking.)
But let's think critically for a moment here. First of all, Bristol is now 24 years old, not 17. She makes plenty of money, and until very recently, she was engaged to be married (she and her former fiancé broke it off in May, just days before their planned wedding). Is she in a perfect position to be having a baby? Of course not, but people rarely are. It still doesn't make her a hypocrite.
Still, human nature being what it is, it's not all that surprising that a conflation of political gotcha, celebrity obsession and old-fashioned sour grapes have made Bristol today's recipient of the internet's official "Kick Me" sign. Bristol herself seems to have expected it: "I know this [pregnancy] has been, and will be, a huge disappointment to my family, to my close friends, and to many of you," she wrote in a

When I looked up at the scoreboard sprawled across the front of the media center Saturday morning, I wasn't immediately sure which group to follow. The fourball matches were all on the front nine still and my plan was to catch one as they made the turn.
About 15 minutes later, it became brilliantly obvious when I saw the flurry of red numbers posted in the opening match between Europe's power duo, Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson, and America's odd couple, Bubba Watson and Matt Kuchar — they were all square as they headed to the back nine, not to mention they were obviously playing very well.
I had a feeling I'd be seeing some solid golf, but little did I know I would end up witnessing one of the most remarkable fourball matches in the history of the Ryder Cup.
I caught the group just as Stenson rolled in a short birdie putt on no. 12 to take a 1-up lead for the first time in the match.
Then, on no. 13, with the Americans in good position, Rose putted first and drained a downhill 18-footer that slid toward the hole before disappearing in the cup. He turned around toward the crowd and made three emphatic fist-pumps.
On the drivable par-4 14th, Stenson was in the rough short right of the green. His chip rolled 12 feet past the hole, while Rose was left with a six-footer for birdie. However, Rose never needed to putt as Stenson rolled in his 12-footer from the fringe.
You see, Rose and Stenson, who were Europe's stars on Friday going 2-0, fell to an early deficit to Watson and Kuchar, going 2-down after six holes. You see, the European duo decided on a goal — they need to square up the match by the 16th hole.
"There were some key moments in the round," said Rose, who carded seven of the pair's record-breaking 12 birdies. "I hit a shortish putt at 7, missed it; we were 2-down.
That's also when they started their birdie blitz, rolling in 10 in a row before closing out the Americans 3&2 in the match.
"Of course we would have birdied 17 and 18, as well, if we had a chance," quipped Stenson in a press conference Saturday afternoon.
But that birdie on the 7th was a crucial moment in the match.
'We were 2-down at the time, given that Justin had made a couple of great birdies already and we were still 2-down," said Stenson. "He just lipped-out for his birdie from about eight feet, so of course it was very important for me to make that 7-footer down the hill to get one back, and that kind of started our run.
Stenson, who is nursing a sore back that forced him to sit out the afternoon and rest, gave most the credit to Rose, who has been absolutely flawless.
Rose has been an absolute magician in the first three sessions, where he and Stenson went 3-0, but it was his dexterity on the greens that separated this round from the rest.
Stenson and Rose were quick to give Kuchar and Watson credit, as the American duo obviously held their own if they took the match all the way to 16, despite the 12 birdies made by Team Europe. That's because they rolled in nine of their own — not too shabby.
Watson was on his game, dropping in seven of those birdies and carrying Kuchar for most of the match.
Watson and Kuchar can certainly take pride in having their own part to the record-breaking day, as Rose and Stenson chalked up another page in the history books. The four players were 21-under combined, with the Americans carding nine of them.
"That was wild," said Watson following the loss. "We would like to go to a few more holes, just so we could watch some great golf again. They played great, they made all the putts, they made key putts.
Bubba was disappointed with the loss, but he recognized they were flat-out outplayed and he was pleased with his own performance, as well.
"Today wasn't that I lost," he said. "It was, I got beat. Justin Rose and his partner played well. Henrik Stenson played quite well, and I can't look back and go, man, I wish I would have done this.
It was definitely a treat to watch, and by far, the greatest fourball match I've seen in person. I found myself shaking my head as Rose and Stenson stuck shot after shot and made putt after putt. (I also put money on Rose being the top European points leader, so that's good.) In my line of work I'm fortunate to bear witness to loads of great golf, but this one will undoubtedly stick out as one of the best — even if the Americans were on the losing side.
In my predictions for the morning fourballs last night, I forecasted that Team USA would get throttled, but (fortunately) turned out I was wrong. The Americans played brilliantly, coming out on top in the fourballs once again as they beat the Europeans 2.5-1.5 points. The total score heading into afternoon foursomes is 6.5 Europe to 5.5 USA.


Costa Rica is experiencing strong growth in tourism because of its perfect climate, great oceanside beaches and abundant wildlife. As a result, there has been a large increase in purpose built tourist resorts springing up everywhere within the country.
But what if you want more than a fancy room and a swim up bar in your pool? What if you want to get out into the countryside and see Costa Rica the way it was when the conquistadors first arrived? There are still plenty of places that have been largely untouched by civilization, places only accessible by a 4 wheel drive vehicle or on foot.
Untouched by agricultural development, the Osa Peninsula is where the road ends, literally and civilization becomes just a rumor. Surrounded by protected forests like the Corcovado National Park, it is one of the most biologically diverse places on Earth. Here you may find four different species of monkey all in one tree as well as scarlet macaws in abundance. For sun worshipers, Carate Beach offers warm waters in a place where most tourists never go.
Located at the tip of the Nicoya Peninsula, the Cabo Blanco reserve comprises 3000 terrestrial acres and another 4,500 acres of protected ocean near Montezuma and Cabuya. Visitors can enjoy a 5 hour hike through both dry and tropical forests rich in wildlife like howler monkeys, white face capuchin, wild turkeys, agouti deer and long nosed coati.
At the end of the trail, enjoy a spectacular white pebbled beach and teal ocean waters so salty they make floating effortless. After a relaxing swim, walk to Cabuya, a tiny beach village that features an enormous ficcus tree that is the perfect backdrop for a photo or two to remember your journey.
White water rafting at its best can be had on the Pacuare River, home to the annual international white water rafting competition. The river is almost 70 miles of nonstop rapids, jungle covered canyons and waterfalls. Some of the rapids are Category V, providing challenges for even the most experienced rafters and kayakers. The entire trip downstream takes about 3 hours.
Stay at the inexpensive Rios Tropicales Lodge and enjoy their canopy zipline or overnight rafting trips.
When it comes to getting off the beaten path and away from the herds of tourists, Costa Rica has an abundance of choices, all of them surrounded by spectacular scenery and teeming wildlife. Start making your travel plans today!


I will start with data preparation, as this step is very critical and time consuming (can be 80% of the time, depending on the data set complexity) but still very underrated when it comes to data visualisation, so if you are a beginner you need to set up clear expectations around the time that it will take you to produce accurate data visualisations as graphs, dashboards, etc.
Also called Data Scrubbing, during this step the idea is to remove or amend errors such as duplicates, incorrect formatting, misspelling, blank fields, incorrect/missing data labeling, and to identify anomalies.
There are different paid and open source tools that can help us on this step. One of the most popular and accessible tools is Excel, follow this link to find the best practices to Prepare Data for Visualisation and Analysis, also in this support page from Microsoft you will find the Top Ten ways to Clean your Data.
This is also an important step on data preparation. Excel also provides a very quick and easy method to format data as text, date/time, numbers, currencies, and customise formatting.
Once the data is in a better shape we can jump into the art of Data Visualisation!
See here the full document: Data Management Integration and Collaboration in the Cloud.
Visit my blog post to learn how to create an intensity map using Fusion Tables.
Probably the most popular used tool for data management. With Microsoft Excel you can create spreadsheets, store data, reformat, rearrange, analyse, create graphs, highlight trends and patterns, create heat-maps, etc.
Tableau Software is currently the trendiest Data Visualisation Software, it offers you the flexibility of importing data from different sources and formats, and connect to SQL servers. Very easy to use, and offer very sleek and eye catching visualization formats. You should give it a go with the tableau public software.

This command mirrors pages with .html, .htm, .php, .asp and .aspx extensions on http://domain.com/. It'll create a folder for the domain and put all the files in it. Dynamic URLs will get adjusted so that they can be used as file names.
Wait … until it's all downloaded … if it feels endless, you might have endless URLs, perhaps an infinite calendar script or something similar? It's worth fixing!
Alrighty, now that we have a copy of your site, let's check things out.
This command goes through all subfolders (the "-r" option) and lists the files that do not contain a match ("-L") for "google-analytics.com". That could be extended to just about anything :).
How about pages that don't have a "description" meta tag?
The "." (period) matches any character — in this case, it is used to match the " (double-quote).
Note that all we did was drop the "-L" (and change the text, obviously). It will show the lines that match this pattern in all of your pages, which includes the AdSense ID.

Neat! Thanks for posting! I think I'll just go the non-Windows route for this one. For some reason, I've got it in my head that tools like cygwin aren't good for windows. I base that comment off no factual information or experience using them, it's just one of those mental hurdles I guess. Although, wget is like lightening compared to FTP clients (it seemed like that at least just now when I tried it) so I maybe I'll give it a try on Windows.
Great Post, John. Thank you.
I tried the download link you have for wget and it returns a blank page. Do you have an alternate link?
Thanks for your advice on the webmaster forums a couple of days ago.
Very well explained. Even if you had never heard of command line previously, the above should make you feel like a pro when you're done.
Download all the website :O .
Excellent step by step guide, these are great tips for anyone with large websites. Of course this isn't a problem for anyone using Joomla or wordpress. Some of my websites are just html and having recently had to go through and change some code on each page I wish I found your tips earlier! As an idea for another tip, how about a guide on how to include adsense or analytics code in an external file?
Hi John, thanks for the Ubuntu / Linux SEO tips! Wish there were more bloggers / developers writing about SEO with Ubuntu. Best, Richard Baxter.
Is there something similar for the conversion tracking code?
I have several AdWords accounts and find comparing the leads that come through to what is registered on AdWords never seems to add up.
This is great information, John. Thanks!
Thank you – this has been useful – I will install these two files and give this a go.
I don't buy adwords so this is not coming from me, any idea where these visitors are coming from?

«Дьявол в темноте» () — двадцать пятый эпизод первого сезона американского научно-фантастического телесериала «Звёздный путь», впервые вышедший на телеканале NBC 9 марта 1967 года. По признанию Уильяма Шетнера, это его любимый эпизод «Оригинального сериала».

Этот эпизод знаменует первое появление броской фразы доктора Маккоя: «Я врач, а не…».

Сюжет
В звёздную дату 3196.1 звездолёт Федерации Энтерпрайз под командованием Джеймса Тиберия Кирка прибывает на старую земную колонию на планете Янус VI, где люди добывают ценный минерал пергий. Корабль направляется на планету для расследования обстоятельств более чем 50 смертей. Тела находили обугленными, но если сказать точнее, то останки были в неизвестном коррозионном веществе, которое разъедает даже металлы. Кирк, старший офицер Спок и главный врач МакКой спускаются в колонию для расследования.

Там их встречает главный инженер Вандерберг, который рассказывает обстоятельства смертей. У него на столе люди замечают красивый сферический объект, но Вандерберг говорит, что это всего лишь безделушка, каких тысячи на нижних ярусах. Немного спустя ещё один колонист погибает от нападения неизвестного существа, которое в этот раз добралось к верхним уровням и украло циркуляционный насос, необходимый для жизнеобеспечения станции. Главный инженер Скотт спускается с «Энтерпрайза» и сооружает временный насос, который, по его словам, продержится не более 48 часов, после чего необходимо будет эвакуировать весь персонал станции на корабль. Спок делает смелое предположение, что существо нельзя обнаружить обычными методами поиска лишь потому, что эта форма жизни может отличаться от углеродной. Он делает предположение, что тот неизвестный науке вид основан на кремнии и способен передвигаться в твёрдых породах, как человек в воздухе. Однако доктор МакКой считает, что существование такой формы жизни невозможно.

Десант продолжает теоретизировать. Они считают, что мощность фазеров колонистов недостаточна, чтобы убить это существо. С корабля им доставляются более мощные фазеры 2-го типа, сила которых выставляется на полную мощность. Вскоре в одном из многочисленных туннелей Кирк и Спок встречают необычного вида существо, двигающееся в их направлении. Они стреляют из двух фазеров, но не убивают, а только ранят существо, скрывшееся затем в горной породе. Поразительно, но эта форма жизни действительно может проходить через камень, оставляя за собой туннели идеально гладкой формы. Спок настраивает трикодер на поиск кремниевой формы жизни и тот обнаруживает лишь одно существо в радиусе ста миль. По предположению первого офицера, это может означать, что данная особь является последней из своего рода и просто убить её было бы преступлением против науки. Кирк же, напротив, желает уничтожить того, кто убил полсотни человек. Насос Скотти не выдерживает нагрузки и выходит из строя, на станции начинается немедленная эвакуация, но некоторые люди всё равно остаются, чтобы найти украденный насос и убить существо. Спок и Кирк доходят до места, где туннель раздваивается, но по их подсчётам вскоре эти ответвления должны опять сойтись в одно помещение. Они разделяются.

Кирк находит десятки таких же шаров, какие он видел в кабинете Вандерберга. Вдруг появляется раненое существо и движется в сторону Кирка. Капитан не стреляет, а просто наводит на инопланетянина фазер, после чего существо останавливается. Кирк связывается со Споком и тот советует капитану немедленно атаковать. Кирк, видя на боку существа большую рану, не может просто так убить его. Вскоре и Спок приходит туда, он с помощью вулканской техники объединения разумов понимает, что инопланетянину нестерпимо больно, по сути тот находится в предсмертной агонии. Спок узнаёт, что существо зовётся Хорта. Так как объединение разумов — двусторонний процесс, то и Хорта получает некую информацию от вулканца. На камне она выжигает надпись «NO KILL I». Люди не могут понять, что имела в виду Хорта: «Не убивайте меня» или «Я не убью вас». Кирк вызывает МакКоя, говоря тому, что пациент ждёт врача. Прибывший доктор в ужасе отмечает, что он «врач, а не каменщик», но капитан приказывает ему попытаться хоть чем-то помочь Хорте. Спок ещё раз объединяет разум с Хортой и узнаёт, что раз в пятьдесят тысяч лет весь вид вымирает, но остаётся только одна особь, охраняющая яйца, а впоследствии становящаяся матерью вылупившимся малышам. Люди узнают, что Хорта начала убивать только потому, что колонисты массово уничтожали её яйца. Хорта понимает, что люди пытаются помочь и через Спока говорит, где находится насос.

В это время Вандерберг и шахтёры сдерживаемые до этого охранниками врываются в помещение и видят Хорту. Кирк останавливает готовых к убийству людей рассказывает им причину нападений и отдаёт насос. Капитан считает, что этот вид на самом деле умён и миролюбив. Люди могли бы не трогать маленьких хорт, а те будут проделывать многочисленные туннели, облегчая работу шахтёрам. Такая перспектива нравится Вандербергу и он соглашается с Кирком. Спок передаёт всё это Хорте и та соглашается. А доктор МакКой с гордостью сообщает, что использовал термобетон в роли бинта.

Когда корабль покидает орбиту, Вандерберг по радио сообщает, что из яиц уже начали вылупляться новые особи и уже обнаружено много новых залежей пергиума. Он говорит, что хорты не так уж и плохи, если привыкнуть к их внешности. Спок замечает, что Хорта была такого же мнения о гуманоидах.

Создание
Роль Хорты исполнил каскадёр и акробат Янош Прохазка, который также спроектировал модель костюма. Ему пообещали арендовать костюм, если у него получится сделать что-то необычное. Джин Кун убедился в эффективности костюма после пробной демонстрации в студии.

В своих мемуарах Уильям Шетнер назвал этот эпизод самым любимым из всех в «Оригинальном сериале». Во время съёмок этой серии умер отец актёра, но Шетнер настоял на продолжении съёмок, он чувствовал поддержку съёмочной группы в трудные времена.

Этот эпизод также отмечает первое появление броской фразы доктора Маккоя: «Я доктор, а не…!» В данном случае строка звучит так: «Я доктор, а не каменщик!», сказал Маккой, когда Кирк приказывает ему исцелить Хорту.

Отзывы
Зак Хэндлен из The A.V. Club дал эпизоду оценку «A», назвав его классическим. Он также отметил хорошо прописанные характеры Кирка, Спока и МакКоя.

В 2016 году The Hollywood Reporter поставил эпизод на 27-е место среди лучших телевизионных эпизодов всех телевизионных франшиз «Звёздный путь», включая живые выступления и мультсериалы, но не считая фильмы.
