The Nordic Council is the official body for formal inter-parliamentary Nordic cooperation among the Nordic countries. Formed in 1952, it has 87 representatives from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden as well as from the autonomous areas of the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and the Åland Islands. The representatives are members of parliament in their respective countries or areas and are elected by those parliaments. The Council holds ordinary sessions each year in October/November and usually one extra session per year with a specific theme.[1] The Council's official languages are Danish, Finnish, Icelandic, Norwegian, and Swedish, though it uses only Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish as its working languages.[2] These three comprise the first language of around 80% of the region's population and are learned as a second or foreign language by the remaining 20%.[3]
In 1971, the Nordic Council of Ministers, an intergovernmental forum, was established to complement the Council. The Council and the Council of Ministers are involved in various forms of cooperation with neighbouring areas, amongst them being the Baltic Assembly and the Benelux,[4] as well as Russia[5] and Schleswig-Holstein.[6]
During World War II, Denmark and Norway were occupied by Germany; Finland was under assault by the Soviet Union; while Sweden, though neutral, still felt the war's effects. Following the war, the Nordic countries pursued the idea of a Scandinavian defence union to ensure their mutual defence. However, Finland, due to its Paasikivi-Kekkonen policy of neutrality and FCMA treaty with the USSR, could not participate.
It was proposed that the Nordic countries would unify their foreign policy and defence, remain neutral in the event of a conflict and not ally with NATO, which some were planning at the time. The United States, keen on getting access to bases in Scandinavia and believing the Nordic countries incapable of defending themselves, stated it would not ensure military support for Scandinavia if they did not join NATO. As Denmark and Norway sought US aid for their post-war reconstruction, the project collapsed, with Denmark, Norway and Iceland joining NATO.[7]
Further Nordic co-operation, such as an economic customs union, also failed. This led Danish Prime Minister Hans Hedtoft to propose, in 1951, a consultative inter-parliamentary body. This proposal was agreed by Denmark, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden in 1952.[8] The Council's first session was held in the Danish Parliament on 13 February 1953 and it elected Hans Hedtoft as its president. When Finnish-Soviet relations thawed following the death of Joseph Stalin, Finland joined the council in 1955.[9]
On 2 July 1954, the Nordic labour market was created and in 1958, building upon a 1952 passport-free travel area, the Nordic Passport Union was created. These two measures helped ensure Nordic citizens' free movement around the area. A Nordic Convention on Social Security was implemented in 1955. There were also plans for a single market but they were abandoned in 1959 shortly before Denmark, Norway, and Sweden joined the European Free Trade Area (EFTA). Finland became an associated member of EFTA in 1961 and Denmark and Norway applied to join the European Economic Community (EEC).[9]
This move towards the EEC led to desire for a formal Nordic treaty. The Helsinki Treaty outlined the workings of the Council and came into force on 24 March 1962. Further advancements on Nordic cooperation were made in the following years: a Nordic School of Public Health, a Nordic Cultural Fund, and Nordic House in Reykjavík were created. Danish Prime Minister Hilmar Baunsgaard proposed full economic cooperation ("Nordek") in 1968. Nordek was agreed in 1970, but Finland then backtracked, stating that its ties with the Soviet Union meant it could not form close economic ties with potential members of the EEC (Denmark and Norway).[9] Nordek was then abandoned.
As a consequence, Denmark and Norway applied to join the EEC and the Nordic Council of Ministers was set up in 1971 to ensure continued Nordic cooperation.[10] In 1970 representatives of the Faroe Islands and Åland were allowed to take part in the Nordic Council as part of the Danish and Finnish delegations.[9] Norway turned down EEC membership in 1972 while Denmark acted as a bridge builder between the EEC and the Nordics.[11] Also in 1973, although it did not opt for full membership of the EEC, Finland negotiated a free trade treaty with the EEC that in practice removed customs duties from 1977 on, although there were transition periods up to 1985 for some products. Sweden did not apply due to its non-alliance policy, which was aimed at preserving neutrality. Greenland subsequently left the EEC and has since sought a more active role in circumpolar affairs.
In the 1970s, the Nordic Council founded the Nordic Industrial Fund, Nordtest and the Nordic Investment Bank. The Council's remit was also expanded to include environmental protection and, in order to clean up the pollution in the Baltic Sea and the North Atlantic, a joint energy network was established. The Nordic Science Policy Council was set up in 1983[11] and, in 1984, representatives from Greenland were allowed to join the Danish delegation.[9]
Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Nordic Council began to cooperate more with the Baltic states and new Baltic Sea organisations. Sweden and Finland joined the European Union (EU), the EEC's successor, in 1995. Norway had also applied, but once again voted against membership.[12] However, Norway and Iceland did join the European Economic Area (EEA) which integrated them economically with the EU. The Nordic Passport Union was also subsumed into the EU's Schengen Area in 1996.
The Nordic Council became more outward-looking, to the Arctic, Baltic, Europe, and Canada. The Øresund Bridge linking Sweden and Denmark led to a large amount of cross-border travel, which in turn led to further efforts to reduce barriers.[12] However, the initially envisioned tasks and functions of the Nordic Council have become partially dormant due to the significant overlap with the EU and EEA. In 2008 Iceland began EU membership talks,[13] but decided to annul these in 2015.[14] Unlike the Benelux, there is no explicit provision in the Treaty on European Union that takes into account Nordic co-operation. However, the Treaties provide that international agreements concluded by the Member States before they become members of the Union remain valid, even if they are contrary to the provisions of Union law. However, each Member State must take all necessary measures to eliminate any discrepancies as quickly as possible. Nordic co-operation can therefore in practice only be designed to the extent that it complies with Union law.[15]
The Nordic Council consists of 87 representatives, elected from its members' parliaments and reflecting the relative representation of the political parties in those parliaments. It holds its main session in the autumn, while a so-called "theme session" is arranged in the spring. Each of the national delegations has its own secretariat in the national parliament. The autonomous territories – Greenland, the Faroe Islands, and Åland – also have Nordic secretariats.[16]
The Council does not have any formal power on its own, but each government has to implement any decisions through its national legislature. With Denmark, Norway, and Iceland being members of NATO and Finland and Sweden being neutral, the Nordic Council has not been involved in any military cooperation.
The original Nordic Council concentrates on inter-parliamentary cooperation. The Nordic Council of Ministers, founded in 1971, is responsible for inter-governmental cooperation. Prime Ministers have ultimate responsibility but this is usually delegated to the Minister for Nordic Cooperation and the Nordic Committee for Co-operation, which co-ordinates the day-to-day work. The autonomous territories have the same representation as states.[17] The Nordic Council of Ministers has offices in the Baltic countries.[18]
Secretary-General of the Nordic Council
The Nordic Council uses the three Continental Scandinavian languages (Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish) as its official working languages, while interpretation and translation service is arranged for Finnish and Icelandic (but never between the Scandinavian languages).[2] The Council also publishes material in English for information purposes. The Council refers to Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish collectively as Scandinavian and considers them to be different forms of the same language forming a common language community.[19] Since 1987, under the Nordic Language Convention, citizens of the Nordic countries have the opportunity to use their native language when interacting with official bodies in other Nordic countries without being liable to any interpretation or translation costs. The Convention covers visits to hospitals, job centres, the police, and social security offices. The languages included are Danish, Finnish, Icelandic, Norwegian, and Swedish.[20]
On 31 October 2018, the Council established it has five official languages, giving Finnish and Icelandic equal status with Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish from 1 January 2020 onward. While the working languages of the Council's secretariat remain the three Scandinavian languages, the Council emphasised that the secretariat must include personnel with comprehensive understanding of Finnish and Icelandic as well. The then-President of the Council Michael Tetzschner thought the compromise good but also expressed concern over the change's expenses and hoped they would not increase so much that there would be pressure to switch over to using English.[21][22]
Language understanding
The Nordic Council and the Nordic Council of Ministers have a particular focus on strengthening the Nordic language community; the main focus of their work to promote language understanding in the Nordic countries is on children and young people's understanding of written and oral Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish, the three mutually intelligible Scandinavian languages.[23]

Observer, guests and other cooperation with neighbouring countries and regions
In accordance with § 13 of the Rules of Procedure for the Nordic Council the Sámi Parliamentary Council is the only institution with observer status with the Nordic Council. In accordance with § 14, the Nordic Youth Council has the status of "guest" on a permanent basis, and the Presidium "may invite representatives of popularly elected bodies and other persons to a session and grant them speaking rights" as guests.[24] According to the council, "within the last couple of years, guests from other international and Nordic organisations have been able to take part in the debates at the Sessions. Visitors from the Baltic States and Northwest Russia are those who mostly take up this opportunity. Guests who have a connection to the theme under discussion are invited to the Theme Session."[25]
Baltic states have permanent observer status in Nordic Council organization.[citation needed] Thus Nordic Council has the biggest co-operation with Baltic states and hold regular Nord - Balt prime minister summits. Baltic states see their co-operation with Nordic Council as of strategic importance and its being the primary political organizational framework within the Nord - Balt region.[citation needed]
The Nordic Council of Ministers has established four Offices outside the Nordic Region: In Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and the German state of Schleswig-Holstein.[6] The offices form part of the secretariat of the Nordic Council of Ministers; according to the Council of Ministers their primary mission is to promote cooperation between the Nordic countries and the Baltic states and to promote the Nordic countries in cooperation with their embassies within the Baltic states.[26]
The Nordic Council and the Council of Ministers also define Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Russia as "Adjacent Areas" and has formal cooperation with them under the Adjacent Areas policies framework; in recent years the cooperation has focused increasingly on Russia.[5]
The Nordic Council had historically been a strong supporter of Baltic independence from the Soviet Union. During the move towards independence in the Baltic States in 1991, Denmark and Iceland pressed for the Observer Status in the Nordic Council for the then-nonsovereign Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. The move in 1991 was opposed by Norway and Finland. The move was heavily opposed by the Soviet Union, accusing the Nordic Council of getting involved in its internal affairs.[27] In the same year, the Nordic Council refused to give observer status for the three, at the time nonsovereign, Baltic states.[28]
While the Nordic Council rejected the Baltic states' application for formal observer status, the council nevertheless has extensive cooperation on different levels with all neighbouring countries, including the Baltic states and Germany, especially the state of Schleswig-Holstein. Representatives of Schleswig-Holstein were present as informal guests during a session for the first time in 2016. The state has historical ties to Denmark and cross-border cooperation with Denmark and has a Danish minority population.[29] As parliamentary representatives from Schleswig-Holstein, a member of the South Schleswig Voter Federation and a member of the Social Democrats with ties to the Danish minority were elected.[30]
The Sámi political structures long desired formal representation in the Nordic Council's structures, and were eventually granted observer status through the Sámi Parliamentary Council. In addition, representatives of the Sámi people are de facto included in activities touching upon their interests. In addition, the Faroe Islands have expressed their wishes for full membership in the Nordic Council instead of the current associate membership.[31]
Three of the members of the Nordic Council (Sweden, Denmark, and Finland, all EU-member states), the Baltic Assembly, and the Benelux sought intensifying cooperation in the Digital Single Market, as well as discussing social matters, the Economic and Monetary Union of the European Union, the European migrant crisis and defense cooperation. Relations with Russia, Turkey and the United Kingdom were also on the agenda.[32]
Nordic unification
Further information: Scandinavism
Some desire the Nordic Council's promotion of Nordic cooperation to go much further than at present. If the states of Iceland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland were to merge in such an integration as some desire, it would command a gross domestic product of US$1.60 trillion, making it the twelfth largest economy in the world, larger than that of Australia, Spain, Mexico, or South Korea. Gunnar Wetterberg, a Swedish historian and economist, wrote a book entered into the Nordic Council's year book that proposes the creation of a Nordic Federation from the Council in a few decades.[33]

Q: The best backup tool?
Possible Duplicate:
Comparison of backup tools

I use Ubuntu 11.10 and I was wondering which backup tool is the best at the moment. I do not need some lightweight, but a very robust and powerful tool like I find on windows platforms.
I need to back files periodically to my external hd.
Previously I got an excellent advises here on which app to use for a specific task, so I hope you'll propose another great tool for backup.
Thanks

A: Top 5 Open Source Backup Software. In ubuntu you got Deja Dup but in my opinion the must powerful is a bacula.

A: I am a software developer and I need to keep my code safe, so I back it up daily.
I have searched lots of back up tools and I have decided that in fact deja-dup (Déjà Dup) is the best and easy-to-understand backup tool.
Deja-dup comes by default with Ubuntu 12.04, just search for 'Backup' in the Dash and click on its icon:

A new window will open which will let you choose your options:

Deja-dup will silently run, showing only a notification each time the back-up is completed.
It has never destroyed anything, it works like a charm!

Rubin, K.; Abrahamsen, B.; Hermann, A.; Bech, M.; Gram, J.; Brixen, K.
Summary: To determine the relationship between risk factors and use of DXA scans. Our study showed a relatively high use of DXA in low-risk women and the relatively low coverage in women with multiple risk factors. Moreover, distance to DXA clinics, age, and socio-economic factors are associated with the use of DXA. Introduction: To determine the relationship between risk factors for fracture and use of DXA scans in Danish women in relation to distance to DXA clinics and socio-economic factors. Methods: From the Danish National Civil Register we randomly selected 5,000 women aged 40-90 years living in the region of Southern Denmark to receive a mailed questionnaire concerning risk factors for fractures. Results: The respondents rate was 84% and 77% of the invited population were available for analysis. A total of 10.3% of the women without risk factors and only 36% of the women with three or more risk factors had a history of DXA. The likelihood of a history of DXA was higher with increasing FRAX(â"¢) 10-year risk; i.e., 8.7% and 30.2% in patients with a 10-year fracture risk of 0-14.9% and 25-100%, respectively. In women with less than 10 km to nearest DXA facility, 20.2% had a history of DXA, while 11.5% of those with more than 40 km to the nearest scanner had a history of DXA. Logistic regression analysis showed that distance, fracture risk, oral glucocorticoids, low-energy fracture, conditions associated with secondary osteoporosis, low BMI, history of falls, age 65-79 years, spouse status, and income were significantly associated with having a history of DXA. Conclusions: Our study showed a relatively high use of DXA in low-risk women and the relatively low coverage in women with multiple risk factors. Moreover, distance to DXA clinics, age, and a number of socio-economic factors are associated with the use of DXA.

In the past two decades a wealth of evidence has accumulated which supports a neural constructivist approach to characterizing human development. This characterization, in which learning and individual experiences play a central role in constructing mental representations and their corresponding neural changes, is of course one of the central themes of Piaget's theory. This meeting will bring together researchers who examine neural plasticity in a variety of ways, across varied domains of development. It will provide an overview of the state-of-the-science in examining how experiences and biology interact to shape brain development and it will provide an important platform for discussing the implications of this neuroscience-based research for the broader understanding of child development.
The meeting will commence with a plenary lecture on the general topic of neural plasticity, which will explore the age- and region-specific nature of developmental plasticity, and factors that may have a positive or negative effect on developmental outcomes at early ages. Other plenary speakers will address topics of plasticity in the context of adversity or impoverished contexts, neural reorganization with respect to selective experiences, how genes and the environment interact to produce individual differences in behavior, and the effects of altered sensory and language experience on brain development and cognition.

As one of the largest migratory waterfowl species in the Pacific Flyway, Tundra Swans have wingspans that can extend to from 5 to 7 feet and can weigh as much as 20 pounds. Adult Tundra Swans are all white with a small yellow spot below their eyes, a black bill and black feet. Juveniles, which typically spend the first year of their life with their parents, are often greyer in coloration and do not have a pure black bill.
In addition to Tundra Swans, you can occasionally see the larger Trumpeter and Mute Swans in California. Trumpeter Swans are also a native species in North America and are very similar to the Tundra Swan expect that they lack the yellow spot under their eyes. In contrast, Mute Swans are not native to North America and are largely considered to be an invasive species with negative environmental impacts and their populations have been increasing in California and across the United States. Mute Swans can be distinguished from the two native species by their bright orange bills and are much more common in urbanized settings.
Tundra Swans breed in the Alaskan and Canadian Arctic. Like most other swans, these birds mate for life and both sexes are involved in building the nest, defending their territory and raising their young (cygnets). Once the cygnets are able to fly, typically at the age of 2-3 months, the family will begin their southward migration to their wintering grounds. There are two distinct population of Tundra Swans. The first population splits off from the breeding grounds and will migrate south east in the Atlantic Flyway and winter along the East Coast. The second population travels down the Pacific Flyway and winters in the Western United States. More specifically, Tundra Swans in the Pacific Flyway winter in Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah and Idaho. The most recent counts by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife estimate that there are nearly 90,000 Tundra Swans that winter in California each year. Their numbers seem to be increasing in the Sacramento Valley and, although it is only anecdotal data, I have seen many more swans this year then I have in past years.
If you have never seen these large white birds, I would recommend that you take a drive through rice country in the Sacramento Valley or visit a National Wildlife Refuge. With 90,000 or more swans in the Valley this time of year you are almost guaranteed to see them!
Luke Matthews is the Wildlife Programs Manager for the California Rice Commission


Tweaknews is a Usenet Provider which offers Usenet access in both block and flat rate payment options. It's affordable and a wise choice for the tech-savvy. There are Usenet providers all over the world. TweakNews – the company is based in the Netherlands, and it's an affordable Usenet service that put quality as their prime goal.
The service came into existence when experienced Usenet users began switching to them for block accounts. The service turned out to be very famous for fills. Tweaknews now has a custom Usenet client who has made their unlimited (flat-rate) plans more accessible. Usenet Newsgroup Service Providers all provide what we like to call in USENET access. TweakNews gives an interesting option to people who are searching for Usenet Service Provider. It is additionally an excellent choice for the individuals who need to try a Usenet provider outside of the United States.
Alongside excellent completion and custom Usenet browser, there are a couple of different features that make Tweaknews stand out. Firstly, lets discuss binary retention and Usenet Service Providers. While numerous European Usenet providers are drifting around 1,100 days, the team at Tweaknews has kept on developing binary retention to more than 2,500 days. Speed is another thing to consider when shopping for your Usenet service. While most Dutch services cap speeds, the team at Tweaknews gives members a few speed alternatives including an unlimited plan that gets rid of any caps.
Tweaknews offers several Flat Rate Plans for their members. The distinction comes down to the number of connections permitted and at last the speed cap. Since it's occasionally easier to see information on a table, we should take a look at each flat rate plan alongside the limits. Note that the Ultimate plan incorporates limitless speed and downloads. Alongside the month to month costs you can save a lot with their term rebates.
Notwithstanding flat rate plans, Tweaknews also offers various block accounts extending from 10 GB up to 500 GB in size. These plans are good sources for fills. You can use the block until it's depleted. Speeds are capped at 100 Mbit.
In flat rate, the options are usually paid monthly – you can pay by one, three, six or 12 months – and they're focused on users who are expected to do a lot of downloading, offering unlimited usage. The least expensive plan costs are $2.70 for one month, and for that, you get your speed capped at 1 Mbps and four strings. If you decide on maxing out your connection, the limitless speed Ultimate plan is the best decision that'll set you back to $13.80 for one month or less if you do a longer subscription.
In block account, users are being offered fixed amount of data, instead of a month to month subscription– begin at a 10GB block for $2.10, running up to 500GB which will set you back to $48. All block plans brag a most extreme speed of 100Mbps.
You can get a TweakNews Free Trial for 10 Days. TweakNews likewise offers a free trial enabling you to try out the services, and you can utilize it for 10 days or 10GB worth of data, whichever ends first. You can get rebates on the asking prices by agreeing to accept a more drawn out time of service. Where the flat fee memberships are concerned, you additionally get more strings with a higher subscription level.
TweakNews current binary retention rate is 2,500 days. They brag a completion rate of 99 percent or better. When it comes to performance, retention is essential. With TweakNews, you get 2,500 days of binary retention, which refers to the amount of time data that is kept. It doesn't make a difference if you're downloading documents that are a couple of days old or ones which have been around for a considerable length of time – the platform plans to maximise your broadband connection.
Completions rates are additionally critical, and you'll see that most great providers go for close to 100%. TweakNews offers a rate of 99.9%, despite the fact that it's important that this rate can change (as it is additionally the case with retention). So in the wake of signing up, you may wind up with higher rates sooner or later.
Similar to the case with most Usenet providers, SSL encryption usually accompanies all accounts. Furthermore, at whatever point you download and exchange information, your identity is kept totally anonymous. That implies you don't have to bother over third-parties getting to your download history.
In case you're searching for a Usenet provider situated outside the US, then TweakNews is worth checking out. It is one of our favorite Dutch Usenet providers. There are numerous powerful providers out there, giving better retention rates, but TweakNews has the best features to offer you.
However, they provide a special offer for Usenet users. The 10-day free trial is an incredible way to try out the services. Regardless of whether it gives everything that you're looking for. The various speed options are likewise extraordinary. If you don't have an Internet connection fast enough to oblige their fastest speeds, you don't have to pay for it.
It also Provides SSL-secured downloads, which is fast, reliable and it works well with all popular NZB apps, and the Free newsreader services is also a certain benefit to users.

Believe it or not, even scolding your dog for his improper behavior is still giving him attention, so it's important to stay calm. Practicing this with neighbors or friends can help get your dog used to guests coming to your home.
Once your guests are in your home, if your dog still hasn't calmed, it might be best to put him in another room where he has a bed, water and some toys, so he can calm down safely and avoid injuring anyone.
Preparing your dog for visitors is one step in the ongoing process of training that doesn't end with sit and stay. "Training is not only about teaching your dog -- it is about you learning how to teach your dog, and how to instruct others to carry the training through," said Dr. Jackson.
A recent study backs up Watson's experiences with golden retrievers. Evaluating surveys of two groups of owners, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania's Center for the Interaction of Animals and Society rated dog breeds on their levels of aggression. The study, accepted for publication in the journal Applied Animal Behaviour Science, indeed found that goldens rate among the least aggressive breeds. But the study also offers somewhat unexpected conclusions when it comes to canine feistiness. You might be surprised to find where your dog's breed ranks.
When 27-year-old Jodi Carp of Royal Oak, Mich., moved in with a friend and his German shepherd, she was happy to help out by walking the big boy. Her roommate, however, told her that his dog, Guinness, tended to be overprotective of women walkers. "Just hold his leash tight when men are walking toward you on the street," her new roommate instructed. No problem, she thought.
According to Sandy Case, a certified pet dog trainer and co-owner and training director of Positively Canine in Oklahoma City, Carp and her roommate simply needed some training on how to care for their reactive dog. "They were basically doing everything wrong, and with a little instruction, they could have prevented a lot of their difficulties," says Case.
Reactive dogs aren't hard to spot. Outdoors, such canines will lunge at people or dogs that get too close. They usually also bark loudly, growl forebodingly and may even bite anyone foolish enough to get close. In the home, the reactive dog can appear threatening to visitors as it jumps, barks and stares. Reactive dogs tend to stress out their owners as they try to keep visitors and passersby safe from their intimidating, if loveable, best friend.
1. Buy a harness Any tightening of a leash is restrictive to a dog's airway, which will only heighten its anxiety. A harness removes the possibility of pressure on the neck, and also helps to rebalance a dog that's lunging forward.
2. Have a plan Knowing what you will do (e.g., turn and walk away, keeping the dog moving) when your furry friend responds to perceived threats will allow you to remain calm. Part of the plan should involve reminding yourself to relax.
3. Be familiar with the signals When dogs begin to become uncomfortable, they may lick, yawn and sniff. As they get tense, they may exhibit changes in posture, such as becoming more upright, tucking their lower body backward or stiffening up. Staring is usually the last move before a more intense reaction. If you can get your dog out of a situation before the stare, you will nip the problem in the bud.
4. Retrain your dog Walk away from the tense situation to a comfortable distance, keeping the object of the dog's discomfort in sight. Get your dog to glance at the other dog or person before it gets to the point of staring, and then give it a treat. Soon the dog will begin checking back with you when it sees things that make it tense.
5. Enlist help If you can't handle the problem on your own, find a good trainer or behaviorist to work with. "A professional can observe your dog and possibly see a lot more about what it's doing," says Case.
With some time, effort and training, you can turn your reactive dog into a companion that any roommate would feel comfortable taking for a stroll around the block.


Since she hit the premier trail for 12 Years A Slave, Lupita Nyong'o, with her luminous skin, has been a champion for bold make-up on the red carpet. Case in point, not many can make blue eye make-up and bright fuchsia lips work together.
Her appointment as Lancôme's new face (news of the day, really) makes complete sense because she's exceptionally beautiful both in and out of make-up.
Which is what the 31-year-old Yale School of Drama alumnus has in common with the brand's celebrity cast — Julia Roberts, Penélope Cruz, Kate Winslet and Lily Collins. Nyong'o will first appear in Lancôme's September 2014 campaign, to be shot by photographers Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott.
More importantly her ideas about being beautiful, and being a spokesperson for beauty, seem quite fully formed.
"What appealed to me about Lancôme is that they're not dictating what beauty is," she tells WWD. "What they do supports something that already is — and that was appealing to me, too. It's what drew me to them. Hopefully, it's a symbiotic relationship — that I benefit from being associated with them, and they benefit from being associated with me, as well."
"I had to give a speech about beauty right before the Oscars," she continued, "and for me, beauty is a compassion for yourself and those around you. And I think that in focusing on that, the light inside illuminates the beauty outside. The idea that Lancôme now has a few actor ambassadors is significant because actors are not just faces, they are spirits that people enjoy and relate to more than in an aesthetic way. We have the privilege of standing for something other than just looks."

As an introduction to this two part post about how to create and manage your sales funnel. We'll start off discussing how to create a sales funnel to help get your company's sales pipeline in gear. While the traditional sales funnel template serves as a good framework, the middle steps of the funnel will likely need to be altered to fit the unique strategy of your company.
If you're reading this and aren't sure what is a sales funnel, that's okay. A sales funnel is a diagram, shaped like a funnel that shows the transition of potential customers into long-time, loyal, returning customers. A sales funnel can also illustrate a customer's buying journey through your company's sale process. At the top part of the funnel (where it's widest), those are where your prospective customers are, or where a customer first interacts with your company or brand. The end of the funnel (the narrowest part) is where your loyal, returning customers are at, or where the customer ultimately converts on a sale.
A sales funnel helps you and your sales and marketing teams visualize your sales process.
You have a product or service to offer and you want people to buy it. Unfortunately, not everyone will be interested in what you have to offer. If you immediately start email blasting and fire off Facebook ads to anyone and everyone, you'll be disappointed with your results. You have to learn who your target audience is in order to find the highest, qualified prospects.
How does one go about doing this? Well, first define your ideal customer. Who is he or she like? What struggles or challenges are they facing that your product can help solve? What are their interests, hobbies, demographics? Making a sketch, creating a persona and questionnaire are ways to help you identify not just any customer, but an ideal customer who would most likely be interested in your product or service and will most likely lead to a sale and be a returning customer. Side note: chances are your company will likely have more than one type of ideal customer or prospect. Be sure to identify them all.
While you may think that now that you're targeting ideal prospective customers that you're all good. But not too fast. There are some customers who fit your ideal customer criteria who won't be interested in your product or service. These customers, who you thought were ideal customers are actually not ideal customers.
In order to weed through these targeted audiences and "semi-ideal" customers to find the best qualified leads, or prospects, one must have a qualifying process to find the true ideal customers who will ultimately purchase your products or services.
The prospect qualifying process isn't that difficult. Starting conversations with prospective customers to learn about their needs and wants, conducting polls and surveys and even promoting a product or service that appeals to your ideal customer are ways to help you narrow down to your real ideal customers.
Once you find out who your real ideal customers are, your work isn't done. You now need to take them through the sales funnel process so they will convert and make a purchase. A key element to this middle part of the funnel is trust. In order for the prospect to take the next step, the more they must trust your brand. There are multiple ways to build trust just like there are various strategies and tactics companies use for prospects in various stages of the middle of the funnel.
The first step in building trust and start the buying process is to establish a conversation. In today's world, this will likely happen online. Write and share a well-written blog post the prospects will finding interesting and useful. Converse with customers online via social media or through comment threads on your blog.
Once people are aware of your company and maybe have checked out your website, present them with an offer so you can get their email address. These offers can be a free download, a free e-book or a low-cost, introductory product offered on a well-built, easy to navigate landing page that encourages them to sign up for a newsletter or rewards program. Once you have their email, you can follow-up and send them promotional emails. When it comes to emailing, make sure the emails are periodic, frequent enough that customers remember your brand, but not so often that you appear spammy and annoying.
Offering "pre-offers" or trials of your products or services is a great way to get emails as well as give the potential customer the opportunity to try your product or service, whereby helping them decide whether your brand is trustworthy enough for them to give your company their business.
For most companies, the middle of the funnel is comprised of multiple stages. Segmenting your prospects into appropriate sales funnel stages will help you better reach out to them and keep them moving forward through the sales funnel.
Successful companies have a consistent sales pipeline whereby new, qualified leads, or prospects are entered into the sales funnel at the same time as other qualifies customers are in the middle and end of the sales funnel. Leads, prospects or customers need to be constantly moving forward, onto the next stage of the sales funnel. It is important to manage your sales funnel as an unnecessary or complicated step in the process can clog up the sales pipeline funnel.
No matter what stage of the sales funnel a customer is in, it is important to establish and buildup trust. It isn't just enough for people to be aware of your brand. They need to have a reason to choose to do business with your company over a competitor. That means you need your brand to be a professional expert in the industry while also be empathetic to customer's wants and needs and personable.
As trust is built and prospects are moved through the sales funnel, multiple tactics and strategies can be implemented based on where in the funnel a customer is at. Some popular strategies include: email opt-in campaigns, free information pieces, social media interaction, blog post interaction, targeted ads, free or low-cost product offering or service trial, and landing pages.
All pipeline sales funnels will have qualified leads that won't convert. There are many reasons why prospects and leads "leak" from various sales pipeline stages. The goal is to have enough leads regularly be filtering through the marketing funnel to make the drop-off negligible. At Aktify, we help businesses recapture and bring "back to life" leads that have left the funnel and are assumed to be "dead." Companies oftentimes can't afford to invest time and resources in "dead" leads hoping to bring them back. That's where we come in. While your sales team focuses on bringing in new leads and nurturing leads through the funnel, Aktify can help give you more leads through leads that were thought to be "dead." If you want help getting more leads in your sales pipeline and through your marketing funnel, contact us today to learn how he can help.

Q: Different Versions of an App per Region We are currently building apps to be deployed to multiple regions, all would be built from a single code base with the appropriate localisation tailoring it for each locale.
When we introduce new features or fix defects we might want to phase the roll out of the new version of the app rather than introducing it in every region all at once.
My question is how much support does iTunes Connect and Google Play have for us to have different versions of the same app deployed in different regions?


PBISApps is excited to announce: Changes are coming to PBIS Evaluation on Friday, March 11! Over the last 11 years, we've added new reports and made small changes to the user interface. The application needed a facelift, and that's what our developers have done. We will release the update to PBIS Evaluation on March 10 at 4 PM PST. The upgrade will happen automatically; you do not need to do anything. Starting Friday, March 11, when you log in to use PBIS Evaluation, you will notice a better-looking application with a new set of reports.
Loading Visual: Whenever the application needs to process a request, a new loading indicator appears on the screen and all other controls are grayed out. This gives you feedback the application is working to display the information and makes it impossible to interrupt the process with additional clicks.
Larger Font: No more need to zoom in. All of the in-application text is now a larger font size.
Menu Alignment: The menus displayed on the left-hand side of the application now line up with each other; it's a small adjustment to help you quickly scan and navigate the application.
Most Recent Year First: For greater efficiency, the most recent school year displays at the top of the drop-down menus when selecting the academic start and end years. This means, no more scrolling to the bottom of the screen to select last year as the start year and this year as the end year.
More Consistent Look and Feel: The entire interface has been overhauled to look and feel the same screen to screen.
The print error preventing you from printing more than one page of a report has been fixed! Any report generated in PBIS Evaluation can be fully printed from page one to the very last page.

Ps2Fantasy.com » Hardware » PlayStation 2 » General Information
The PlayStation 2 is the second video game console developed by Sony Computer Entertainment after the worldwide triumph of the PlayStation. When it was released in 2000, the PlayStation 2 was supposed to be a little revolution in the home entertainment, thanks to its multimedia capabilities. The console can be obviously used to play games, but it can also read DVD movies, normal CDs and games designed for its older sister, the PsOne. This last feature has been fundamental for the marketing strategy of Sony Computer Entertainment. Having a backward compatible system with the PsOne was like building a bridge between the new system and an existing audience of dozens of millions of players already playing on a PsOne, a connection that gave the PlayStation 2 an enormous advantage over its competitors.
A look at the PS2
The power of the PS2 lies into its peculiar 128 bit CPU, the so-called "Emotion Engine"; its frequency clock is about 300 MHz (while the Dreamcast's CPU, the Hitachi SH-4, runs at "only" 200 MHz). All its components work at 128 bit (while the Dreamcast's SH-4 works only in part at 128 bit).
The name of the processor, mostly a smart idea of the marketing gurus at Sony, should suggest that the EE could theoretically handle models able to recreate human expressions in a 3D real time environment. The main CPU is supported by a Graphic Synthesizer which runs at 150 MHz, with 4MB of embedded VRAM and a bus bandwidth of 48GB per second. The main system memory consists of 32MB Direct Rambus DRAM.
The PlayStation 2.
With the vertical stand, the PS2 looks like a black monolyth.
If you hate numbers, and you just want to have an idea of the power of the new PlayStation, we can say that the Emotion Engine can elaborate a number of operations per second fifteen times superior to a Pentium 2 and two-three times superior to a Pentium 3 with a frequency clock of 733 MHz. Without any graphic effect, the PS2 can show, theoretically, 75 million polygons per second; anyhow, using all the effects of last generation games, this beauty can still render about 20 million polygons per second against the 3 millions of the Dreamcast and the 360000 of the old, good PsOne. Like it happens with most video game consoles, the first generations of games for the PlayStation 2 used just a portion of the machine's power, mostly because developers need time to learn and master programming on new systems. There are exceptions: Metal Gear Solid 2, published by Konami in 2001, remains one of the most visually impressive games available for PlayStation 2.
The PlayStation 2 supports Dolby 5.1 and DTS (Digital Theatre Sound). Games, DVDs and even audio CDs benefit from these audio technologies, if you have the right equipment. However, the PlayStation 2 supports Dolby 5.1 and DTS in games only during cutscenes. For more information about PlayStation 2 audio technologies, read our DVD & Audio page.

On one level, this post is all about wanting to use Comic Life with my classes for an analysis project when I know full well that most students will not have it. In fact, most will have PCs and will not be able to use this software outside of a Mac lab. I'm going to make it a book order and will even throw in a PC equivalent software for those who don't have Macs and won't go to the labs. I am officially over the idea that asking my students to have specific software is unreasonable. Jiminy Crickets–I don't feel that way about books, so why the guilt about any software preferences at all on my part?
Well, like most things, it's complicated and always about local needs. As a university with a sizable first-generation college student population, most students have not thought about what computer to buy in terms of what is a good fit for their scholarly or future work needs. Which computer first-generation college students bring tends to be what the family gives them as a symbol of their impending college student status. The student is seldom consulted in this; it is a gesture, a surprise. Cost is a big factor, and rightly so. When all computers are seen as roughly the same–storage devices that have a keyboard, AKA a fancy typewriter, the bare-bones PCs that flood the market make a lot of sense. However, most of these PCs do not even have an Office suite, Microsoft or otherwise, and they certainly do not have new media production software. Thus, the common comparisons between the "expensive" Apple computers and the low cost PCs are truly comparing Apples to, well, some other kind of fruit in every sense.
Apple computers, whether desktop or laptop, come with new media production software as part of the deal. Bare bones PCs do not. They have an operating system (yea, but so does Mac) and maybe some trial software with a time limit. Standard configuation Macs have iMovie, GarageBand, iPhoto, Preview (like having Acrobat that is more than just Acrobat Reader), and iTunes standard. They also have Mail, iCal , Stickies and Notes, plus cute little utilities that may not be apparent at first like Grab. Both the PC and the Mac assume you are going to buy a word processing suite. The Mac will use both Microsoft Office or Apple's productivity software–Pages, Keynote, and Numbers. That cross-compatibility does not work both ways. Sadly, if you want Keynote or iMovie, a PC will not accept the software or the files, while a Mac will use Word and accept doc and docx files. Open source software can help bridge these gaps in access. For example, Macs, PCs and Linux machines can all use LibreOffice, a free and open source software option that I recommend to students who want a word processor and can't buy any software above what came with the computer their family gave them.
Here is the point I want to examine beyond the cost of software and how we need to see software as educational tools like books. Besides that, we need to look at the paradigm behind the PC and Mac platforms. How PCs assume that an Office suite (or no Office suite!) is enough fancy software to get by with cuts off any possibility of true 21st century literacies, the kinds of literacies that must happen in college if they didn't happen before. Macs build those literacies into their computers. Ideally, for those students with starter PCs, lab time will fill the gaps, and some take the time to go to a lab. However, even in the labs, cost can be a factor, along with perceived use. The dedicated composition labs at Missouri State have the unspoken assumption that writing is text-only. Those of us who had input into the planning of these labs, and that includes me, knew better, but we wanted the labs very badly, and felt that having the space and the computers were a starting ground. Two labs with Microsoft Office were better than no labs. The two additional labs dedicated to technical writing have Adobe Creative Suite, but are still PCs. There is a Mac lab on the same floor that is priority-use for Media/Journalism, and it usually has a few time slots open for courses and generous open lab time. I grab it whenever I can.
Matching our classroom practices to twenty-first century literacy practices must happen regardless of local conditions. If our students who see YouTube, Vine, Twitter, Facebook, and Soundcloud as composing and persuasion fields (or need us to show them that they are) then composition course need to break out of text-only courses. I do this by relying on what students bring with them, and that includes equipment such as laptops, iPads, and smartphones.
So, I am going to add to my book order for my English Ed students and it won't be a book. I'm also going to schedule time, if I can, in the Mac Media lab to allow them mentored time in class for iMovie. If students choose to bring their own computer and use Moviemaker instead that's fine. However, I want them to try iMovie first, at least for a little while before moving back to their own comfort zone. As teachers, they will need flexibility and options, even when it is uncomfortable. Composition students need options too, and I will do my best to point them towards options that work for them.


2019 Dodge Ram 1500 Classic 4X4 Crew Cab Lone Star Red New For Sale Near Celina – Equipped when perhaps the nicest interior of any American vehicle made today, the supplementary 2019 Ram 1500 works good as a luxury vehicle or as a accomplish truck but not both.
No new pickup truck (or American luxury vehicle of any type) can retain a candle to the Ram's interior, but 2019 GM pickups equipped taking into account the 6.2-liter V-8 outgun the Ram's 5.7-liter V-8 in skill and payload abilities, while the lightweight Fords tend to handle greater than before and have progressive trailering aids.
It's scarce that we acquire one fully redone further pickup truck in a unmodified model year, but this year we got two automakers introducing all-new pickups. GM delivered the extra 2019 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra half-ton trucks, and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has total us this, the additional 2019 Ram 1500. Complicating matters somewhat is the continuation of the previous-generation 1500 in limited trim levels as the 2019 Ram 1500 Classic. This evaluation focuses upon the redesigned 1500.

I captured this photo looking out to Angel's Landing and across The Valley of Zion. The hiker depicted in the lower left is reaching for the security of the chains as he crosses the rock bridge that spans a 1500 foot drop. The combination of evening light and clouds painted the scene with shadows and highlights. This is a must-do hike!


When these tiny cocottes arrived from Staub, we immediately began compiling a list of what could be adorably baked and served in perfectly personalized servings. On the top of the list was a recipe provided by Zwilling, made specifically for these vessels, and titled "All Chocolate Cocottes". Yes, please!
Cut the butter into small pieces and melt with callets in a double boiler.
Allow 2 oz of butter to soften for coating the cocottes.
In a bowl, mix the flour, starch and cocoa. Add the sugar to the melted chocolate and then the whole egg and beat well with a whisk.
Incorporate the flour/ cocoa mixture into the chocolate until the batter is completely uniform. With a brush, generously butter the inside of the cocottes with the reserved butter.
Divide the batter between the cocottes and refrigerate for atleast 30 minutes. It is even better to prepare them a day in advance.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cook the cocottes, unlidded for 7-8 minutes.
Eat immediately! (yes, that is part of the recipe) Also delicious served a la mode.
A seemingly simple sweet to make for someone special, and the best part is that you don't have to share!

Labour Second referendum remains just an option on the table.
CLEAR VICTORY FOR CORBYN BREXIT PLAN AT NEC
It was a clear victory for Corbyn and the Labour Party Brexit plan
Jeremy Corbyn's victory at a meeting of Labour's NEC (National Executive Committee) has been confirmed. Corbyn's position on Brexit for the party's European Parliament manifesto won easily, in spite of the unavoidable absence of a number of left NEC members.
The result is a humiliating defeat for deputy leader Tom Watson, who had tried to orchestrate pressure on the Labour Party to support a second referendum in all circumstances.
But a row erupted when Jeremy Corbyn's aides did not hand out hard copies of the manifesto.
Tom Watson left this morning's Shadow Cabinet while it was still ongoing.
A source claimed he "stormed out" after Jeremy Corbyn's team refused to hand out hard copies of Labour's draft EU elections manifesto. He strongly disputed the claim, saying the meeting was "calm".
Another Labour source insisted the NEC meeting was "respectful, constructive and comradely throughout".
Labour is split at the highest levels on whether and how to demand a referendum, which would either "confirm" any Brexit deal or remain in the EU instead.
A string of shadow ministers want a referendum on any deal to be Labour policy and a demand in talks with Theresa May.
But others fear a backlash in many Leave-leaning Labour Heartlands.
They say Labour should only demand a second referendum if it is needed to avoid a damaging Tory Brexit or 'No Deal'.
The issue came to a head at the NEC, where reps were discussing Labour's manifesto for the EU elections on May 23.
Pro-EU Labour supporters had sent more than 2,000 e-mails to the NEC urging them to include a "confirmatory" vote on any deal in the manifesto.
The Unison, GMB and Usdaw unions – who all have NEC reps – also demanded the manifesto includes the policy, as did key members of the pro-Corbyn group Momentum.
But in the end it came down to this key point in the resolution that leaves a second referendum as previously voted on in the 2018 composite motion a:
"OPTION ON THE TABLE."
Conference believes that there is no satisfactory technological solution that is compliant with the Good Friday Agreement and resolves to oppose any Brexit deal that would see the restoration of a border on the island of Ireland in any form for goods, services or people.
Should Parliament vote down a Tory Brexit deal or the talks end in no-deal, Conference believes this would constitute a loss of confidence in the Government. In these circumstances, the best outcome for the country is an immediate General Election that can sweep the Tories from power.
If we cannot get a general election Labour must support all options remaining on the table, including campaigning for a public vote. If the Government is confident in negotiating a deal that working people, our economy and communities will benefit from they should not be afraid to put that deal to the public.
This should be the first step in a Europe-wide struggle for levelling-up of living standards, rights and services and democratisation of European institutions Labour will form a radical government; taxing the rich to fund better public services, expanding common ownership, abolishing anti-union laws and engaging in massive public investment.
Note that there is no mention of a 'vote in all circumstances'. Instead, the resolution lists options that Labour will keep on the table to defeat a 'Tory Brexit deal'.
The sentence with in the resolution that matters:
The conference motion therefore boils down to three options:
A Labour Brexit (no referendum)
A negotiated Brexit (no referendum)
If Theresa May forces a Tory Brexit that would damage the UK and create a harder border on the island of Ireland, Labour will support all means to stop it including, if necessary, a new vote
