One of the things I love about Internet marketing is that it is so measurable. But I understand that for many web marketers, it's a challenge to dig through the sheer amount of data that is available through most web analytics tools.
I'd like to suggest a New Year's exercise that will help you make sure you're taking advantage of the quantifiable nature of the web.
The first step that I'd suggest is to consider your business goals. It's likely that they have changed during the past year. Think about the impact of changes in technology, relationships with vendors and suppliers, costs and margins, trends in your industry, actions of competitors, evolution of your target market, etc.
It's possible that these factors have had an impact on your goals and objectives, but the impact might not be apparent until you sit down and think through the implications of these sometimes subtle changes to your business landscape.
Once you have identified your current business goals, you should think through the performance metrics that provide insight into your success in these areas. These metrics are your "key performance indicators" (KPIs). KPIs should be unique to your company, just as your particular business goals are unique. It's also likely that you'll have a different set of KPIs than other people within your company. That's perfectly OK, but at a high level, there should probably be a set of KPIs that determine overall company success.
With a good KPI, the action to be taken will be fairly obvious. However, some KPIs such as "revenue" may need breaking down into further metrics in order to make them directly actionable.
Once KPIs have been defined, it's important to determine how these numbers will be reported. Ensure that your web analytics tool of choice provides the metrics that you need. Some of the best analytics tools even allow the creation of custom dashboards to constantly report on these key metrics.
The actions taken in steps 1-3 are basically useless without step 4. It's imperative to determine which KPIs are underperforming, and put into place a plan for making improvements to your web experience to address these deficiencies.
These actions might require changes to pricing, add-on and up-sell strategy, page layout, click acquisition strategy, etc. The important thing is that each action should be tied to a KPI, and the results of the change should be measured by that KPI. Be cautious of making too many changes at once; ideally you'll be in a position to link a single change on the site to a single metric. This isn't always feasible, and sometimes we have to implement broad changes that may impact multiple KPIs. In this case, it might make sense to rank, or weight your KPIs to determine which ones are most critical to your business goals.
I take the time to suggest this process at the beginning of a New Year, but your business might be moving fast enough that you should consider this twice a year, or perhaps even quarterly. The important thing is that as web marketers we have a solid approach to constantly improving performance.

Olive in Ella Enchanted
The Clueless Stepsister
Fortunately for Ella, Olive is not as mean or manipulative as Hattie. Although, you get the sense that she would be, if she could. Unfortunately for Olive, she's just a little dim.
When Ella meets Olive for the first time at Lady Eleanor's funeral reception, Ella thinks: "Olive's face was as blank as a peeled potato" (3.52). And Olive's insides are as blank as her outsides; basically, Sir Peter nails it when he calls her a "simpleton" (4.125).
But Olive is smart enough to know there's something special about Ella. She looks up to her, like when she writes after Ella's great escape from finishing school: "Hattie says Ella was bad to leeve but I think she was bad not to tak me to" (16.34). And when Sir Peter and Dame Olga marry, Olive stands outside the hall with Ella and asks "Can I stay out here with you?" (20.29).
Whatever Olive's reason for looking up to Ella—perhaps she's never had a positive role model in her life before, or perhaps it's because Ella's not mean to her like Hattie is—it makes the Olive-Ella relationship a bit more complex than the wicked stepsister paradigm suggests.
However, Olive still manages to torture Ella when they become stepsisters. She demands that Ella pay attention to her, tell her stories, and stuff like that. Ella's only recourse is to escape to the library for moments of privacy, since no one seems to think to go there ever—especially not Olive, whose reading and writing skills leave something to be desired.
Poar Olive!
Olive is, to put it mildly, not very intelligent. She doesn't even figure out Ella's curse, only getting as far as the realization that if Hattie orders Ella to do something, Olive can then ask for the same thing.
Her basic math skills are also lacking, as shown when Olive says to Hattie after the first ball: "You said you'd give me three coins for every time he couldn't dance with anyone else because of me. You owe me … Eight coins" (27.56). Seeing as eight's not even divisible by three… yeah. Something's off there.
Thanks to the magic book, Ella gets to read one of Olive's letters home, full of terrible misspellings and grammar. (Good thing Ella's skilled with languages.) As an example, and we apologize if it gives you a headache: "I hav ben feeling poarly all week. I hav hedakes espeshly wen I reed" (16.33).
Poor kid. Maybe they don't diagnose learning disabilities in Kyrria, or maybe she just needs a new pair of glasses, but clearly no one's ever invested much time in teaching her how to read and write properly.
Greedy: For Money, Attention, You Name It
There's one thing that Olive loves: money. During the carriage ride to finishing school, after Ella's forced to give her mother's necklace to Hattie, Olive asks for a gift too: "I want money. Give me money" (8.10). When the stepfamily finds out that Sir Peter is poor, Olive panics and asks: "Is our money gone? Will we starve?" (22.21). Coming from a rich family, Olive has clearly never been in danger of starving, but she seems to have internalized her greedy mother and sister's view of things: more money is always better.
She also, however, seems starved for attention. Either Dame Olga has spent more time grooming Hattie to be the eligible-to-wed daughter (for all the good it's done), or Dame Olga's parenting skills are non-existent. (Or both.) Either way, Ella moves in with the stepfamily, and Olive hounds Ella with orders to talk to her, tell her stories, count her money and generally pay attention to her.
In the end, we know that Olive isn't really to blame for her personality, because she gets a happy ending that meets her need for human contact: she marries a "garrulous widower who fell in love with her unwavering attention" and is rich enough even for her. (Epilogue.9). Still, the fact that Olive seems to have spent so much of her young life neglected and indoctrinated with greedy values makes us kinda sad for her.

A contemporary, relaxed-fitting boyfriend cardigan that will see you through the seasons. Made from a soft and cosy merino blend this longer-line style is ideal for layering, adding warmth without bulk. Designed with relaxed weekends in mind, it's perfect with a pair of our Lamledra cord trousers or jeggings and a pair of ankle boots.
This will be a real wardrobe staple, a perfect length on me for keeping my back warm and covering up the wobbly bits! I'm saving it for a special holiday s haven't washed it yet, but I have every confidence in the quality of merino wool.
Love this cardigan, I bought the blue and I'm considering buying the grey one (I don't usually wear grey). Lovely and soft. The length is perfect for me as it's long enough to cover 'curves' I don't want seen! I've bought a fantastic battery operated de-bobbler for woollens and it works a treat, sorry but you have to expect bobbles with merino/wool garments.
Nice cardigan, true to size. I've only worn it twice so don't know yet if it bobbles badly or how it washes. Very comfortable and warm. I ve looked for a good cardigan like this for a long time.
This Cardigan is such a great design as it actually has some room in the upper arms so you can wear another layer underneath and still look 'slim' in the winter. I can see me wearing this grey colour everywhere and thrashing it! I live in New Zealand, the land of the merino sheep, & it's still great value getting it from Seasalt!!
I'm always searching for a boyfriend style cardigan in light wool and this one fits the bill exactly. Good length, perfect weight, good fit in size 16.
Hoping you will consider other colours?
Warm and soft, great length and a lovely colour, but I hoped it would be the same shade as the Crackington trousers, but it isnt. So I've returned it, as I don't think I'd get the wear out of it, but fab cardi.
This cardigan is just what I was looking for: warm, but thin, long, but not bulky, colour matches everything. Lovely and soft, beautiful and handy, That this will be a daily wear!

Weinstein Company Wants Harvey Weinstein's Email Account Suit Trashed
November 16, 2017 9:32am
TWC/REX/Shutterstock
In an almost classic piece of legal understatement, the Weinstein Company admits that Bob Weinstein is Harvey Weinstein's brother as it seeks to have the latter's lawsuit against TWC permanently tossed out.
"Wherefore, TWC respectfully requests that the Court enter an order dismissing the Complaint with prejudice, awarding the Company the costs of defending this action, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs; and awarding such other relief as the Court deems just and proper," says a formal answer (read it here) to the much accused and disgraced producer's preemptive initial action of October 26.
Facing accusations of sexual harassment and sexual assault for up to 80 women, investigations from the LAPD, NYPD, the New York Attorney General's office and more, plus several lawsuits already, Weinstein is attempting to gain access to the his TWC email account, other correspondence and his employment file. The effort is in a move to defend himself and the company, so he says – though TWC seems not to want Weinstein's help, at all.
Harvey Weinstein & TWC Slapped With Class Action Suit Citing RICO Act
However, beyond acknowledging the sibling relationship between the Weinstein, most of the filing yesterday in Delaware's Court of Chancery unsurprisingly denies almost everything Harvey Weinstein says in his initial complaint and everything he asks for. This sot of response is pretty standard stuff in these matters but once again shows the dance the parties are participating in as a crippled TWC hovers on receiving a financial bailout or possible bankruptcy. To that end, even if the court decides to let Weinstein have some of what he wants, TWC still want to make sure he doesn't get too much
"Mr. Weinstein seeks to inspect documents that contain confidential information of the Company, including sensitive business information," states the 16-page response from TWC's lawyers at Wilmington's Ross Aronstam & Moritz LLP and NYC's Cravath, Swain & Moore LLP. "To the extent any inspection may be granted by the Court, it should be subject to appropriate limitations on the use of any such documents," they add.
Among its many denials, the November 15 filing also does grant that the New York Times published an expose "dated October 5, 2017 concerning Mr. Weinstein," that Harvey Weinstein was terminated from the company that he still owns 23% of and that attorneys from both sides have sent letters back and forth,
Patricia Glaser, Harvey Weinstein's main lawyer in the matter, did not respond to request for comment on this latest move in a case where her client is seeking to get things moving a bit quicker than usual. No doubt fully aware of the media spotlight that is shining on him brighter than ever, Weinstein has sought to have this matter expedited.
Accusing Harvey Weinstein of "decades of predatory sexual behavior," a filing by TWC on November 1 opposed that fast tracking. A teleconference between the parties on November 2 basically saw Judge Joseph Slights split the difference and schedule a hearing for early January next year.
A hearing that TWC's response of yesterday may try to get shifted or vacated if they get their way.

How to Make Things Better When It Seems Like Everything Is Going Wrong
by Content Team | Jan 24, 2023 | Positivity
"You can never be happy if you're trapped in the past and fearful of the future. Living in the present is the only way to be happy." ~Unknown
Have you found that the local and world events of the last couple of years have taken their toll on you and your family and friends? With fires, floods, shortages of food, fuel, and medicine, illnesses, job losses, and more, all occurring in a short space of time, it can be hard to find anyone who has not been affected in some way.
Many people are experiencing feelings of hopelessness and living in constant fear about the future. And unfortunately, if not managed, over time these feelings can lead to depression, anxiety, and numerous other health conditions.
We've all heard that a build-up of stress hormones in our body contributes to illness, but how can we possibly improve our health when we are living in survival mode and feel like the situation is hopeless?
I lived this way for most of my life, wishing I could clone myself a million times so I could get on with changing the world, but feeling sad and frustrated knowing that I could not, no matter how hard I tried.
I was also in my own little bubble of survival, working way too many hours to prove to myself I could be a mum and have a career and save the world, all while my health was deteriorating.
From time to time I found myself thinking, why is it that no matter how hard I try to make things better for myself and my family, something else always comes along and makes everything worse? I was always striving, not even for perfection, but to make things better.
I really wanted a different way, to live a life without the stress, struggle, fear, and health issues.
Fortunately, a friend introduced me to the benefits of guided meditation and how to shift your mindset, and once I understood how powerful these practices could be in helping me to improve my quality of life, I didn't look back.
Even though it was a struggle for a while, as I made the changes I needed to make—which included restructuring my business, moving three times in twelve months, managing my chronic health issues, and working through the trauma—I have now found a place where I can notice and find joy in the small things, and I have hope for the future.
I learned that, if we can keep a positive outlook and focus on ourselves and how we respond in any situation, we can change how we feel about everything. But how can we do this when we are feeling stuck?
The first thing to realize is that you can't change others. You can only change yourself and the way that you respond or react.
You can only alter the choices you make in your life and how you can make the world a better place. And the good news is you don't need to do anything big to do that.
What if you can find small ways to improve:
Your relationships with family and friends. (For example, by being more present and listening to their interests and needs.)
Your kindness and care in relating to people you meet. (For example, by questioning your judgements rather than reacting immediately.)
The way you feel about yourself. (For example, by expressing gratitude for everything you're doing right.)
What if you can change the way that you look after your environment in your home and community?
What if doing these things has a flow-on affect to everyone else you meet?
What if you say or do something, even a seemingly small thing, that makes others feel more love and joy?
What if they then go on to change something about themselves that gives them more joy and happiness in their lives?
What if each person pays it forward a little more?
We are so much more powerful than we think. Just by changing our perceptions and our actions we have an exponential effect on the people around us.
Did you know that your thoughts and memories are just perceptions of your reality, based on your own life experiences, with some unconscious conditioning thrown in? Every single person in this world experiences life in a different way based on their past, as well as patterns of behavior that developed from a need to feel loved, nurtured, or a sense of belonging as a young child.
Studies have even shown that people who witness an event, e.g., a crime, will always have a different interpretation of what happened compared with anyone else, because we all have our own biases. Often, our memories, when compared with actual video footage of the crime, will be completely inaccurate.
How does this relate to you and lowering your stress and anxiety?
It means that in any given moment you can choose how to perceive the events going in your life, in the community, and world around you.
You can choose to wallow in fear and frustration about things that are outside of your control, or you can choose to empower yourself by focusing on the good and all the things within your control. Like the things that make you feel better. Because when you feel better, you do better, for everyone and everything around you.
Ask yourself, what do I need to do to feel more joy and happiness and hope?
Be consciously aware of your thoughts and notice what comes to you. What do you want to keep and what does not serve your own happiness and joy?
For me, I decided to stop spending as much time looking at news feeds and social media. Most of it is not positive or just made me feel like I was inadequate, so I cut it right back.
I actively sought to change conversations with family and friends that were fear-driven, by changing the subject. Unless the person really wanted help or advice that was going to support them in moving forward.
I also made the decision to stop working so hard and enjoy whatever time I have left on this earth. I decided to focus on things that bring me health and happiness.
Here are some of the things I like to do to feel happier, healthier, and more hopeful. Feel free to take what works for you and leave the rest. If none of these resonate, then take some time to sit and ask yourself, what can you do differently? What makes you feel good?
Take a bath.
Call a friend.
Play a musical instrument or create some art.
Listen to music.
Find a space on your own, even for just a few minutes, and use some gentle background music to soothe your mind and help you gather your thoughts. Doing this can often help us release the tension, even just a little, and give us some space to work out what is important to us.
Spend some time creating a dream board, a bucket list, or even a list of things you'd love to have or do in your life. Even though it might seem like some of those things are impossible to achieve, writing down our dreams and desires can lift our mood and gives us hope and something to look forward to.
Plan a treat for yourself or your family. It can be as simple as you like.
Going out for ice cream and sitting by a river, lake, or beach
Finding a recipe that you and or you family would love and working together to make it
Taking a bike ride
Find a spot to sit outside and observe nature and the world around you. Notice something you've never looked at properly before. Observe and appreciate its beauty. Look at it like a child might, with wonder and curiosity.
Don't be afraid to ask someone to support you or to help out, whether it's for a chat or some physical assistance. Most often, people are more than willing and enjoy helping. You just need to ask.
Choose just one thing that you can do differently to improve your mood and outlook and commit to making it happen. Trust the ripple effect will happen and be proud that you are making a difference for yourself and others.

Animal bites and scratches that break the skin can sometimes cause infection. Some bites need stitches while others heal on their own.
Rarely, bites from wild animals can lead to rabies, a life-threatening infection. Bats, raccoons, skunks, and foxes cause most rabies cases.
Wash the bite area with soap and water. If the bite is bleeding, put pressure on it using sterile gauze or a clean cloth.
If the bleeding has stopped, put antibiotic ointment on the area.
If your child has pain, give acetaminophen or ibuprofen.

This article is part of a Landscape News series on Central Asia, published in conjunction with the 2019 Central Asia Climate Change Conference in partnership with the World Bank.
The five countries of Central Asia comprise one of the world's most vulnerable and rapidly degrading areas. Across Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, lands once wealthy on the route of the Silk Road are now prone to desertification, soil erosion, salinization and forest loss, incurring huge costs financially and on the livelihoods of the region's rural poor.
International cooperation to improve the region's adaptability to climate change has historically been sparse at best, but nations both within and beyond Central Asia are now beginning to band together to address environmental and related socioeconomic issues.
Accelerating joint efforts against climate change is the basis for the annual Central Asia Climate Change Conference (CACCC), held this year on 3–4 April in the Uzbekistan capital Tashkent and jointly organized by the USAID-CAREC Smart Waters project, the World Bank's Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Program for Aral Sea Basin project (CAMP4ASB) and the Central Asia Nexus Dialogue Project.
After centuries of being tossed between conquests of the nomadic peoples of the steppe – the Huns, the Turks, the Mongols – Central Asia was folded into the Soviet Union from the Russian Revolution in 1917 up until the Soviet collapse in 1991. Suddenly independent, its nations were tasked to manage their landscapes and create new systems of their own to do so. Development of infrastructure, water resources, agricultural and trade policy progressed with little knowledge of sustainable landscape management to serve as a foundation.
Central Asia spans some 400 million hectares, about two-thirds of which are drylands. According to a comprehensive report published by the Economics of Land Degradation Initiative (ELD) in 2016, anywhere from 40 to 100 percent of land in each of the region's five countries is degraded. Since the mid-20th century, average temperatures in the region have increased between .5 and 1.6 degrees Celsius, seeing glaciers shrink to one-third of their volume in the early 1900s.
Crop land, pasture land and forests being challenged by the development of irrigation projects, livestock and land conversion for agriculture, coupled with winters and summers becoming increasingly extreme. Seismic hazards are ever present, with earthquakes commonly felt throughout the region.
Rural communities across Central Asia that depend directly on the land for their survival now face an increasing number of challenges from the many ways that degradation can manifest itself in landscapes of varying altitudes, ecosystems and uses.
Widely said to be one of the world's worst environmental disasters, the Aral Sea that lies between Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan – formerly the fourth-largest lake in the world with more than 1,000 islands filling its waters – was dried down to just 10 percent of its original size by the early 2000s. This was due largely to Soviet irrigation projects that redirected its supplying rivers in preceding decades. A full collapse of an ecosystem, the draining of the Sea has led to the impoverishment of the millions who live in its basin, spanning all five Central Asian countries. The basin's once-thriving fishing industry has disappeared, and pollutants and chemicals once held in the water are now deposited in the land, leading to toxic drinking water and a vast number of health issues ranging from tuberculosis to lung disease.
In Uzbekistan, misuse of water resources and irrigation has led to salinization of soil, in which the buildup of salts becomes toxic for plants. In some areas, the soil is completely salinized, and nothing can be grown. According to the World Bank, crop yields could see reductions of up to 50 percent by 2050 if not changes are made to the status quo.
In Kazakhstan, more than 60 years of conversion of landscapes for agriculture and industry has come at the cost of forests, leading to the degradation of some 48 million hectares nationwide, along with soil erosion and infertility and rampant dust storms sweeping through millions of hectares at a time, according to ELD. Phosphate mining has destroyed pasture lands, and water withdrawal for agriculture has depleted the hydration needed to sustain the native Tugai forests and improve the Aral Sea.
Under the Soviet regime, the health of Kyrgyzstan's highland pastures was preserved by a mandated rotation system. Recent decades have seen this management practice disappear, resulting in the degradation of 30 percent of the country's pasture lands on which migratory herding communities depend. Land encroachment is common, with farmers and grazers moving into forests of spruce, walnut and juniper for their own use. The national forest cover now dwindles at around 5.6 percent.
Pasture lands are also primary pain points for Tajikistan and Turkmenistan, where degradation comes in startling proportions. In the former, 89 percent of summer pastures and 97 percent of winter pastures are eroded from overgrazing; in the latter, 70 percent of all pastures have been degraded in some form. Stricter borders inhibiting longstanding practices of cross-border migration of pastoralists also leads to the overuse of certain landscapes as well as conflict between communities for access to resources.
Many of these issues come back to a lack of fundamentals, namely proper land management at all levels, sufficient data and evidence to inform policy, and education of rural populations on sustainable land use. To make transitions from salinization to proper irrigation; from deforestation to reforestation; from eroded and nutrient-deficient soils to fertility; and from declining to thriving livestock practices, the CACCC's organizers are working to see more cooperation and action among local, regional, national and international land users and decision-makers.
The CAMP4ASB project, which began in 2015 and will run until 2021, has so far emerged as a leading effort in regional change. Its efforts to aid climate-smart production and land management are currently being carried out in the most vulnerable villages and communities in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, focusing on improving water resource management, livestock practices, sustainable energy, crop diversification and other specific needs raised by communities, with special attention given to those of marginalized groups and women.
The World Bank will also soon launch a second regional effort, the Resilient Landscape Program (RESILAND), which will focus on spreading sustainable, resilient, integrated restoration practices across Central Asia.
A focal point of this year's CACCC will be a proposed regional "30×30" initiative, seeing countries in Central Asia and Europe lead the restoration of 30 million hectares of degraded and deforested lands by 2030. The initiative comes in the wake of the Astana Resolution adopted last year at a ministerial roundtable in the Kazakhstan capital, which affirms cooperation among nations in the Caucasus and Central Asia to address their similar landscape challenges and work to restore ecosystems in tandem.
Nations in the Caucasus and Central Asia have collectively committed 2.5 million hectares to the Bonn Challenge. Tying directly into the Challenge – and now, the newly adopted U.N. Decade on Ecosystem Restoration – the 30×30 initiative would aim to boost current commitments and cooperation to achieve much more.

Ronti Saddle is a saddle between the glorious Himalayan peaks of Nanda Ghungti and Trishul closer to the Nanda Devi Inner Sanctuary.
The trek to Ronti Saddle is approached from the more popular Roopkund side and you enter the Sheela Samudra valley once you cross over the Junairagali Pass above Roopkund. A sharp descend from the Junairagali pass gets you to the vast and remote grassland of the Sheela Samudra. The name Sheela ( rocks ) Samudra ( sea ) translates to 'Sea of Rocks' and is given to the glacier coming down from the might Trishul. If there is some noise in this valley, it is of the frequent ice breaking and falling down from Trishul, feeding the Sheela Samudra glacier. Here, you will only find yourself and few 'Keeda Jadi, Yartse Gumba' pluckers during the months of June.
The trek after Sheela Samudra climbs up following the Nandakini river to the campsite of Do Dang ( 2 rocks ). It then treks over a broken ridge with sharp verticle fall on one side to takes us to Homkund - a small lake mostly under snow. From Homkund, the trek starts climbing to Ronti Saddle.
This trail connects famous Roopkund and much revered Ronty Saddle to Dhauli Ganga basin in the north east direction. To distinguish, we prefer to call it as Ronty Pass and is a completely new route for descending from Ronty Saddle. The usual Ronty Saddle ends at Sutol in the Nandakini basin, tracing back to Silasamudra then then to Lata Khopri and Sutol. Here we descent from the saddle to the other side, negotiating steep rock section and boulders and then finally to the temple of Bhabisya Badri, situated on the Joshimath to Malari road.
Access to Lohajung (The trek base): Depending upon the trek members we will arrange a pick up from Kathgodam to Lohajung and from Joshimath to Haridwar back. This will be shared equally by the team members on actual basis.

Day 04 : Baguabasa - Roopkund - Junargali Pass - Sheela Samudra (12km approx).
Today is a special day for us. We begin our climb to Roopkund which takes us around 3 hours. The trail climbs up steadily and the last stretch is a good steep climb for an hour. Roopkund is witnessed by its circular shape filled with turquiose colored water and skeletons scattered all around. We spend sometime resting and enjoying the place. We are to cross the Junargali and hence do not have much time to kill. Much difficult task is ahead and we get ready for it. As soon as we start, we are up against a very steep wall of hard snow climbing upto the Junargali top. A normal shoe without any technique cannot climb it. We use our ropes and ice axes to ensure safety before we start negotiating it. A concentrated effort of some 30 minutes brings us to the top of the pass. Standing at 5150meters, there is no doubt about the magestic views of the valley it has to offer.From here, the massif of Trishul is visible from ground to summit.Nandaghunti and Ronti Saddle too shows up full. The descend from the pass top to Sheela Samudra is a sharp one initially which requires good concentration. Snow makes it further trickier. Its best advised to follow the trusted steps of your guide here.. Around 2 hours of continuous descend brings us to our campsite marked by a huge boulder which acts like a wind shield. Its been a tiring but rewarding day. So rest out the rest of it glancing the beauty of the great mt. Trishul which is so close by.
Day 05 : Sheela Samudra – Dodang (8km, 5 hrs).
We start off slowly and soon find ourself crossing the boulders of Sheela Samudra. We witness numeric tarns of the once mighty glacier. The route then follows the Nandakini river climbing gradually up, though some part of the trail is unmarked and very slipery with almost no trail. We need to be careful in these sections. Our campsite is marked by a huge boulder forming a cave. Look back at Junargali from here and you will be thrilled. Rest the day out.
Day 06 : Dodang - Homkund - Ronti Saddle - Dodang(10 km, 5 - 6 hrs).
Its a difficult day today as we hit the trail to reach our goal for this trek - The Ronti Saddle. We start early and start to climb. After some easy trek we come acros a sharp ridge breaking down from its right hand side, almost like a 90 degree slab of mud. We take the trail little downside on the left side of the ridge which looks safer. The rigde slowly turns to right to bring you to Homkund. After offering prayers, we start to climb up the steep snowy climb to the Ronti Saddle. Initial scrambles and walk over the boulders for some 2 kilometers and then zig zakking through the snow field, its a 2 hour steep and strenous climb from Homkund. The views offered from the top of Ronti Saddle is breath taking. Ronti Peaks 1, 2 ; Trishul 1, 2, 3 ; Nanda Ghungti ; Dronagiri looks just amazing and a sight only the lucky few gets. The summit of Nandaghungti looks quite teasing from this point. We spend as much time as possible keeping the weather in mind, as this is the day and the place we worked hard for, all these days!! We start to descend the same route and it takes us couple of hours to reach Do Dang from here. We have returned with a fulfilling experience and the sight and achievement does not leave our mind.
Day 07 : Dodang - Chandaniya ghat – Latakhopri(16 km, 6 hrs).
Day 08 : Latakhopri – Sutol (12 kms, 4 hrs).
The descend down to Sutol is a picturesque one which descends down through the forest. Sutol is a beautiful village with a temple, shop and few homes. Do use your camera to the fullest as after a hard trek, you get to see some locals, houses, river, bridge, temples, domestic animals and converstations with the locals. You may chose to take a bath in the river as well.
Day 09 : Sutol - Sitel – Ghat (1331m, 1 hour).
Our descend back to civilazation ends today as we hit the trail with great energy. There comes few shops on the way where we can satisfy our crunch for normal eateries. About 4 hours of walk get you down to the motor head where your cab will be waiting to take you down to Ghat, where our trek ends. It has been a wonderful trek with wonderful people all around and ofcourse the Mighty and Godly Himalayas were there always to motivate and support you.

Sonadrill Bags $327 Million Contract Extension for 12 Wells in Angola
Sonadrill – a joint venture between Angolan state-owned entity, Sonangol and Bermuda-based global drilling solutions firm, Seadrill – has secured a $327 million extension contract for the provision of its Lobingos drillship in Angola.
Sonadrill's Lobingos rig will be leveraged to drill 12 more wells at a rate of $402,500 per day over a period of 25 months as from the fourth quarter of 2022 as part of the contract.
The rig has been in operation in Angola since December 2020 and was utilized by major Eni, in its discovery of light oil in Block 15/06 in 2021.
The development comes as Angola – Africa's largest producer of crude oil – seeks to expand exploration activities to address its depleting output due to natural declines in legacy projects.
Simon Johnson, CEO, Seadrill, said: "Sonadrill remains strategically important for the development of the Angolan oil and gas sector. Sonadrill is the number one rig operator in Angola and this new contract will generate significant free cash flow for the joint venture which will ultimately flow to Seadrill and Sonangol as shareholders."

By contracting a professional cleaning company: there are companies that specialize in provision of cleaning services. You can contract one such company, to undertake the cleaning duties at your web design studio. Consequently, the company would be sending cleaning staff to your web design studio on a daily basis, to do the cleaning for you.
By hiring your own cleaning staff: this is where you can directly hire someone to be visiting your web design studio and cleaning it on a regular basis. Actually, if yours is a big web design studio, occupying thousands of square feet, you could be forced to hire several cleaners on a full-time basis. And it shouldn't be too hard for you to get people who are interested in cleaning jobs. You may, for instance, find someone who was previously working at one of the Darden restaurants as a cleaner. Then he could have recently visited the krowd darden employee login page, signed in, and checked his work status — only to find that he had been laid off. This would therefore mean that he doesn't have the option of continuing to login in at the krowd darden sign in page, to get paychecks. Yet he has bills to pay. Such are among the individuals who would be interested in the cleaning jobs at your web design studio – as long as you are willing to pay decent wages.
By getting the web design staff to do the cleaning: if it is a small studio, you can get the people you work with in the studio to also do the cleaning. After all, don't they clean after themselves where they live? Why, then, should it be too hard for them to clean their working space? Still, you have to be careful lest you demoralize them by asking them to do cleaning duties. As you are likely to discover, some professionals feel that such duties are beneath them.


I found some pretty cool stuff at a sale last week. Thought I'd share. These books are from 1860. How neat is that?
lookin' good on my shelf!
Even if the style isn't quite me, I think of all the time and effort these are made of.
I'm gearing up for a funky tutorial posting, but it may take a few days.
I absolutely LOVE old books! They're so wonderful...especially the images. Yours are fabulous. I just started working on your cuff and will be mailing it out before next weekend.
Stop on over at Brynwood. There's a surprise waiting for you there!
Came over from Donna's blog to visit you. These things are all true treasures. Especially books with handwriting. I feel the same when I feel an old linen, so prettily embroidered, that is for sale for a pittance. Seems a shame.
Love the textiles because it's the work of womens' hands, generally speaking. Our work is that which is fades rather quickly yet makes a house a home, food a meal, and love visible.
Hi Natalie. I just wanted to stop by and say congratulations on winning Donna's vanilla! She is such a sweetie. What a cute cuff you've created for her too.
Wow you found some super things. I adore that colorful Alice in Wonderland illustration. What wonderful books you've found.
Lovin these old books and needlework.
You variation for the tutu sounds great. I would love to see an adult version.

Q: How can i pass a property to a directive on vue js? how can i get the property value on a v-show or v-if directive? i've already try to pass like the example bellow but not succeed.
v-show="cabin >= {{ number }}" number="5"
i'm stuck with this and since vue.js it's kind of new its so hard to find documentation and examples.

A: If you're using Vue Components, then you could do something like this:
Vue.Component('my-comp', {

    template: '#my-template',

    props: [
        'number',
    ],
    data: function(){
        return{
            cabin: 4
        };
    }
}):

and then in your view, use it like this:
<my-comp v-show="cabin >= number" number="5"></my-comp>
<template id="my-template">

Lorem Ipsum

</template>

A: Once you used a custom attribute (number), I guess that you used a component.
So, as he said @user3324298, you need something like this:
Vue.Component('my-comp', {
  template: '#my-template',

  props: ['number'],

  data: function() {
    return {
      cabin: 4
    }
  }
})

But the template, should be something like this:
<template id="my-template">

= number" number="5">

Lorem Ipsum

</template>

<my-comp></my-comp>

v-show should be into the scope of component.

Jeezy Once Paid $70,000 for Vocal Cord Surgery
Brad Barket, Getty Images
Jeezy dropped a bomb on ESPN's Highly Questionable this morning. The rapper revealed that he almost lost his entire career after his vocal cords were severely damaged between 2005-2006. At the launch of his career, Jeezy had to shell out $70K to save his voice and hid out for recovery for nearly seven months.
"About 2005-6, the scariest moment in my life was when I was actually successful," responded Jeezy when asked what time in his life had been the most frightful. "I wasn't trained properly how to perform and I used to yell a lot when I was on stage. I tore my vocal cords in half. So, I wasn't able to talk when I was at the height of my success for around seven months and nobody knew if i was going to be able to talk again."
The Snowman explained that he didn't have insurance at the time and was forced to pay the money out of pocket. He did so with a brown paper bag. "So, I had to go sneak and get surgery and I didn't have insurance. So, I had to pay for it with a brown paper bag full of 20s," said Jeezy. "It was the scariest point in my life because I just remember having all of this success and having to hide out because I couldn't talk. I couldn't perform so I missed a lot of money and a lot of time. But, the whole time when I was sitting there those six-seven months, I just prayed a lot because I was just like how could God give me this gift and take it away just that fast. Matter fact, my first album, I had to mix it writing my notes down for the engineer because I couldn't talk." He continued, "So when you hear Thug Motivation just know that I lost my vocal cords for the whole duration of the album."
Jeezy's new album Trap or Die 3 hits shelves Oct. 28. The project includes features from Lil Wayne, French Montana, Chris Brown, Yo Gotti and more.

Yale in Motion
A focus on health and physical activity encourages the Yale community to be more active on campus, reduce vehicle usage, improve air quality, and reduce congestion on the roads.
Yale's Efforts
Over one-third of Yale employees live in the City of New Haven, and increasingly choose to walk, bike, or ride the Yale Shuttle to work.
Yale has partnered with the city and other local employers to encourage use of the expanding infrastructure and programs for walking, biking and using transit.
The Yale Community Carbon Fund allows those who commute to or travel for Yale to support local efficiency projects and offset their emissions.
Bike/Walk Yale, a subgroup of the Traffic Safety Committee, manages initiatives to enhance bike and pedestrian infrastructure on campus. They also encourage active transportation through incentive programs and communications and ensure that University planning processes are holistic in their approach to transportation systems. Participating departments include the Office of Sustainability, Facilities Operations, University Planning, Public Safety, and the University Wellness Leadership Group.
Avoiding single occupancy vehicle use can save you time and money while improving air quality and reducing emissions. Learn more about the resources Yale provides.
Join the fun. GoNewHavenGo offers resources and programming to make sustainable transportation easy. CT Rides offers free commuter counseling to all Yale affiliates.

Our Objectives and Goals
Alternative Transportation Systems
Enhance and support systems for alternative and active transportation
The COVID-19 pandemic created major disruptions to our way of life and habits related to travel. Remote work and learning have taken on a new significance, and many people's use of transit and forms of active transportation have changed. As a result, the transportation industry, major employers including Yale University, and other organizations have had an opportunity to step back and reflect on what was "business as usual," and to consider shifts that are better for the environment, our physical and mental health and well-being, and our communities.
This Objective is supported by the following goals. Progress reflects activities and accomplishments from July 2020 - June 2021:
Sustainable Transportation Framework
By 2019, complete a Sustainable Transportation Framework and related analyses for enhancing sustainable transportation infrastructure on and across Yale campuses.
This goal was achieved in 2019. Going forward, we will deploy strategies to encourage active, safe, and healthy modes for movement around campus and in New Haven.
Campus Circulation
By 2025, enhance Yale's strategy for safe, convenient, and resilient circulation around campus.
Efforts are underway to broaden Yale's strategy for efficiently moving people around campus. To-date, activities have included extending Yale Shuttle routes and service hours; building infrastructure to provide "to-door" service; supporting initiatives that may help establish a city-wide bikeshare program; and advocating for traffic safety measures through policy promotion, infrastructure improvements, and communications.
Electric Vehicle Infrastructure
By 2025, provide approximately 2% of all Yale controlled parking spaces with electric vehicle charging stations.
In 2020, Yale had 11 single-hose electric vehicle charging stations available for fleet vehicles and drivers parking on campus. In 2021, those were replaced with dual-hose units and additional chargers were added, providing charging for 40 vehicles. As of the 2021 fiscal year, six of Yale's fleet vehicles are electric.
Sustainable Transportation Choices
Advance transportation choices that improve human health and environmental vitality
Sustainable Commuting
By 2025, increase the proportion of Yale community members commuting to campus using sustainable transportation modes by 10% above 2015 levels.
Our 2021 Transportation Survey was issued in November 2021, and results are forthcoming. Our 2019 Transportation Survey Report demonstrated an increase in single occupancy vehicle usage and a decrease in transit ridership. However, the onset of the pandemic in 2020 drastically affected commuting patterns, with nearly 57% of Yale's employees working remotely.

Wacom's Bamboo Spark offers another option for digitizing scribbles
Billy Steele
Do you still prefer the feel of pen on paper but need an easy way to catalog your handwritten notes digitally? Wacom's Bamboo Spark will do just what. The product is something the company calls a "smart folio" that uses its digital pen technology to capture the scribbles of a real ink pen on A5 paper (5.83 x 8.27 inches). How does it work exactly? With the help of the Bamboo Spark app on an Android or iOS device, the folio's Electro-Magnetic Resonance board and Bluetooth beam your pen strokes to that trusty mobile device at the push of a button. The Spark can hold up to 100 pages, even while it's in offline mode, and claims up to 8 hours of use before needing to recharge via USB.
As you might expect, the included pen uses special ink that you'll need to re-order from Wacom when the time comes (after about three months of use) for $10 per pack of three. If you're looking to make the leap, the Bamboo Spark comes three ways: with a gadget pocket (for a phone, etc.), tablet sleeve, or snap-fit that's made just fot the iPad Air 2. All three models include the requisite pen and paper for $160 and are set to ship in October.

Vocoders have been around since the method was used first to synthesize a human voice in the 1930s. The word itself is derived from combining the words VOice and enCODER. For a brief history of the Vocoder and some of the artists that have used them, see Ian Vargo's excellent article here.
In other words, only the frequencies that are present in the modulating signal are retained in the carrier signal after the envelope is applied. In software, vocoders can usually function as inserts on an audio track, as an instrument on a virtual instrument track using a sidechained input from another audio track or a live external source, or in the case of devices like Vocal Synth 2, either as an audio insert effect or virtual instrument.
Random thought: What would happen if you Vocode a Vocoded signal?
Auto-Tune is designed to sort of quantize a vocal signal to the closest pitch or scale degree. You begin to get that robotic vocoder-esque sound when you push it hard so that the pitch jumps abruptly from note to note. But the process is significantly different from vocoding.
While the use of the vocoder is typically associated with the robotized voice you are undoubtedly familiar with, and the processing method can be used on any sound especially those with distinct transients such as percussive sounds. Don't feel constrained by the name — try experimenting with sounds other than vocals — replace or parallel process rhythm parts for example to get a beat that tracks the harmony. I'm a big fan of misusing software for creative effect – unlike hardware; it cannot be broken with bold experimentation.
Below is a collection of software Vocoders (in no particular order) that I recommend based on personal use. I welcome any additions to the list from readers inclined to contribute. They all work great on vocals of course, but as mentioned above, I suggest a healthy dose of reckless abandon and misuse to get your creative juices flowing.
The interface is accessible and well organized — once the three modes (Analysis, Synth, Vocoder) are understood and the Side Chain input is set up, you will start getting immediate results. The Synth section (Carrier signal) can be a blend of two waveforms or an FM modulated waveform. Built-in modulation, noise generation, onboard effects and a cool Freeze function (which freezes the current vocoded sound to be used as a straight-ahead synth voice) are nice features. Voiced and Unvoiced detection is also available for increased intelligibility if desired.
AUTO: The internal synth engine of the plugin is used to generate sound. Insert it on an audio track and press play.
SIDECHAIN: In this mode, you can drive another synth, guitar or other sound sources through the Vocal Synth modules.
The help screens give clear and concise setup instructions for each mode.
In addition to the Vocoder Module, there are four others – Biovox, Compuvox, Talkbox and Polyvox. The interface uses a nice graphic to display the relative influence of each.
There is also a slew of audio effects that can be easily routed in any custom configuration simply by dragging. The Shred module, in particular, creates a great granular stuttering effect that's worth the price of admission.
There's A LOT of functionality in Vocal Synth 2 and I encourage you to dig deep.
The MVocoder is a feature-rich device that comes with an exhaustive 102-page manual and allows for the manipulation/modulation of every conceivable parameter. Four Modulator sections include morphable shapes, envelopes, followers and more. The Band Graph and Band Matrix sections alone make this a powerful tool. There is an onboard upsampling section and mid/side capability.
The more time I spent with it, the more I liked it as I continued to uncover new functionality, new graphic interfaces, and surprising layers of control that resulted in nuanced to extreme sonic variation. It even has 11 interface styles with custom colors to accommodate your aesthetic taste.
As with many plugins of this complexity, the learning curve is steep and to take full advantage of all that this device has to offer will require a significant time commitment. For what this thing does, the price is ridiculously low. But there is no price/functionality relationship here. The MVocoder is for those looking to explore vocoding in great depth with meticulous control and programmability at every turn.
The Vocalizer Pro has a stunning, albeit initially intimidating interface, and provides access to four identical spectral synthesis modules with customized routing capability. The modules include various synthesis methods, envelopes, multimode filters and LFOs. There is an Effects Tab for built-in EQ, Chorus, Delay and Reverb, and an excellent Browser system based on genre, color and character descriptors. Eight Snapshot pads allow on-the-fly access to user presets and eight Chord pads will recall keyboard notes and chords. This device sounds great right out of the virtual box and is almost immediately usable. Once you understand one module and the effect of the various synthesis methods you are ready to roll.
The Lector Vocoder is a single window interface that includes four main sections: Input Carrier signal controls with Unvoiced detection for intelligibility, Synthesizer (2 oscillators, filter and amplifier sections), Vocoder filter bank with modulation and analysis controls, and an onboard Effects section that includes: overdrive, chorus, delay and reverb. It took some futzing to get this device to do what I wanted, but the results were reasonably good. I recommend a good read through the manual to avoid unnecessary frustration. The Waldorf sound engine is well-known and respected and provides a strong foundation for Vocoding in this plugin.
Initially developed by Prosoniq in 1998, ORANGE VOCODER has since evolved through numerous iterations, always staying at the cutting edge right to this day. It has a reputation for being the single most transparent sounding and flexible vocoder plug-in available … it features a built-in 32-voice synthesizer, eight different vocoder algorithms ranging from analog modeled circuits to far-out digital cross-synthesis modes, filter-bank freezing and reverb, a 10-band graphic EQ, and more…a dream-machine for creating new sounds!
I can say that the current version pictured below is a beautifully designed plugin that sounded immediately great from the very first instantiation. It features two sound sources which can be waveforms or samples, two modulators which be set to an LFO, envelope or dedicated pitch modulation, ring modulation, onboard reverb, filter, graphic EQ, unvoiced detection, mixer section, and a freeze button. I am anxious to see and hear what improvements the latest release will have to offer.
Vocoding is not just about voice mangling or robotizing; it is a unique form of cross synthesis that works well with a variety of source material and live audio input. If you haven't experimented with vocoders in the past, now is as good a time as any. It may be just the thing to inspire new directions in your work.


The Muppets are back again, and now there's a teaser trailer to prove it. However, as excited as we are for the return of Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and all our favorite Muppets, this first teaser for Muppets Most Wanted feels dated. It's almost as if this particular trailer was crafted to play on a video tape in the 90s. Maybe it's the cheesy voiceover and weird editing that makes it feel like an old TV spot, but it's strange. Still, there's fun to be had with Ricky Gervais, Tina Fey, Ty Burrell and surprise appearances by Sean "Diddy" Combs and Salma Hayek. Who knows what other cameos are on the way, but there will be tons.
Muppets Most Wanted is directed by James Bobin (The Muppets) who co-wrote the script with Nicholas Stoller. This time the entire Muppets gang is on a global tour, selling out grand theaters in some of Europe's most exciting destinations, including Berlin, Madrid and London. But mayhem follows the Muppets overseas, as they find themselves unwittingly entangled in an international crime caper headed by Constantine—the World's Number One Criminal and a dead ringer for Kermit—and his dastardly sidekick Dominic, aka Number Two (Ricky Gervais). The film also features Ty Burrell, Tina Fey, Ray Liotta and many more with Walt Disney Pictures releasing the film everywhere on March 21st, 2014 next year. Funny?
Yeah, it's only "must watch" for the page views.
Damn, this is sloppy. It feels like a straight-to-DVD trailer. This is leagues away from the trailers we got back in 2011. I hope the full trailer(s) will be more akin to those.
This trailer will be playing in front of Disney's Planes, so we're hoping that's why the trailer is so childish.
If that's their version of cultural relevance, that is one movie that's staler than an old pack of crisps.
This looks like a hyper child's imagination spewed all over a thoughtful and often quiet franchise. I don't like the insane over the top muppets. I prefer the quiet reflective stuff. It's why I don't like Muppet Treasure Island or their Christmas Carol.
Eh? Muppet Christmas Carol is over-the-top and insane? I would put it in the "quiet + reflective" category myself. If you can even use that as a category for Muppet movies... but yeah, I think MCC is easily one of the most heartfelt entries.
I'd rather watch my old Muppet Show DVDs.
Loved the 2011 muppets! And I think I will love this because I liked the 2011 so much!
Looks as terrible as that selection of cameos. Who in the world...?

Afro Republic
In Dutch: 'Een Nagelaten Verhaal' '('A Handed-Down History') by Yasmin Allas
Posted by Afrorepublic on August 01, 2015
Yasmin Allas
A Handed-Down History (in Dutch: Een nagelaten verhaal) of 2010 is the fourth novel by Somalian-Dutch writer Yasmin Allas. It's a story about Somalia, the dilemma of an arranged marriage and the personal history of the writer.
At a young age, the writer Yasmine Allas fled Somalia after her father was murdered during the civil war. For years she sought a way to return to the city where she grew up, until one day she was approached about making a television documentary about her youth. When she arrived in Africa, she found that everything had changed beyond recognition; the landscape was ravaged and the population had moved away. She realized that it was impossible to revive the past if you were continually escorted by a camera team. There was only one option: to use her imagination. And this is exactly what she has done in this extraordinary and original novel.
The story centres around a love affair between the young nurse, Zeyneb, and a wounded soldier whom she refers to as the 'Stranger'. On the day he is discharged from hospital, he asks her to marry him and promises to come back for her when he is physically strong enough to do so. Much later, after Zeyneb has been promised by her father to another man, she is standing on the veranda when she sees a land rover entering the square. It is the Stranger. His arrival presents her with a difficult dilemma: either obey her father or follow her heart and run away with the Stranger.
Two days later, towards the end of the morning, Zeyneb's father was waiting
for her and the Stranger on the veranda.
Normally she would have given her father a warm embrace and quickly
breathed in his scent but now, for the first time in her life, she hesitated.
Abo, iska waran
? Father, how are you?' was all she could say.
Diiriye nodded, brief and stiffly.
Then the Stranger and he shook hands. Brief and stiffly.
This story is narrated years afterwards by their only daughter, a writer who has been living in the Netherlands for decades and returns to her land of birth to make a television documentary. She has great expectations of the reunion, but there is no one there who knows her and no one she knows. She is not even accepted as a fellow Somalian and it is clear that she does not belong there, she is not welcome. The daughter becomes acquainted with an old man who secretly takes her to her birthplace. There she pictures herself sitting on the garden swing in bygone days, she reflects on her parents' marriage and the fate of her father, who was dragged out of the house by soldiers on that ominous day, never to return. This lyrical, occasionally magic-realist novel – a self-portrait, a love story and a social history all in one – is ultimately about accepting being uprooted. She is obliged to abandon the memories that have made her what she is, and a country she flees a second time.
Who is Yasmine Allas
Yasmine Allas (born in 1967) arrived in the Netherlands in 1987. She attended drama school, acted with various companies, and performed her own solo show. In 1998, she made her writing debut with the successful novel, Idil, een meisje (Idil, A Girl)
