What Are The Main Components Of Transmission Tower?
The transmission tower acts as an expressway for transmitting high-voltage electricity. The transmission tower in addition to the supply of power to cities connects power plants to the substation.
What Is a Transmission Tower?
To understand the components of the transmission tower it is important to understand what defines a transmission tower.
A transmission tower is a tall structure that is made from steel to support an overhead power line. The transmission tower in electric grids helps in carrying voltage transmission lines which carry bulk electricity from generating stations to substations. The transmission towers are installed at sufficient height from the ground to carry high-voltage power.
Components Of Transmission Tower
The Cage Of The Tower
The area between the body and the peak is the cage of the transmission tower. The vertical section of the tower which has a cross-section design is the cage. The design can take the shape of a square or triangle according to the height of the tower.
Peak Of The Tower
The portion at the top of the tower which is above the top cross arm is called the peak of the tower. For the supply of electricity from tower to homes, an earth shield wire is connected to the top of the peak of the tower.
Cross Arm Of The Tower
The side arms of the tower on both sides hold the transmission conductor is called the cross arm of the tower. The dimension of the cross arm depends on the transmission voltage, angle, stress distribution, and configuration of the wires. The cross arm of the tower helps in connecting wires from one tower to another.
Transmission Tower Body
The distance from the lowest cross arm of the tower to the ground is called the transmission tower body. It is necessary for towers, as it provides the height of the tower required for ground clearance.

Other Components Of Tower Design
Depending on the design of the tower it has one or more circuits. For voltage up to 200KV, it is generally a single conductor which contains 3 circuits, and when the voltage goes above 200KV which has bundled conductor that means it has more than 6 circuits which enhances the capability of the power lines and reduces the loss in power during transmission.
The ground wires are strung along the top of the tower to protect it from lightning strikes. The high-voltage system has two ground wires for reliable communications.
Things To Consider In Tower Design
=> There should be a good foundation as the foundation is the basic structural support for the tower.
=> The minimum ground clearance is the lowest wire conductor above the ground level.
=> The clearance is required for consideration of the dynamic behavior of the conductor and the lightning protection of the wire lines.
Utkarsh India manufactures Powergrid approved Transmission Line Towers that range between 66 kV to 765 kV. It manufactures single, double, or multi-circuit towers.

Coronavirus: Under 900 cases reported Sunday, over 20 percent of Ohio vaccinated
By Micah Karr
In the past 24 hours, the Ohio Department of Health has reported 893 cases of coronavirus, the second lowest amount of cases reported this month. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the state has reported 989,191 cases of coronavirus.
As of Sunday, ODH reported that over 20 percent of Ohio's population has been vaccinated against the coronavirus. In the past 24 hours, 54,491 people have started the vaccine and 36,934 people have completed the vaccine. 2,364,861 Ohioans have had at least one dose.
ExploreA year into COVID, the Dayton region is grieving; 'We will heal, and we can heal'
Currently, 876 people are in the hospital with COVID-19, approximately one in 20 patients, the Ohio Hospital Association reported. In southwest Ohio, 225 people are hospitalized with the coronavirus. In the past 24 hours, 35 new hospitalizations have been reported, bringing the state to 51,551 hospitalizations since the beginning of the pandemic last year.
Mayor Don Patterson said in his final state of the city address that the arrival of the coronavirus pandemic tested Kettering and its residents' resilience like few other times.
COVID-19 closed businesses, cut jobs, forced isolation and closed the door on the "home to summer fun" in 2020 while also presenting a common adversary, he said Tuesday night in a pre-recorded speech presented at Kettering's City Council meeting.
"Last year was one of the toughest tests for all of us, and we did the best we could with what we had," Patterson said.

The rewards of creating music range from the deep satisfaction of writing a new song to the glowing pride of a successful performance. These feelings bolster our confidence, but do little to compensate for the financial investment often tied to making music. While selling your music via CDs and downloads is a good start, you should also consider investing in band merchandise to promote your band and cover the cost of instruments, rehearsal spaces, recording equipment and more.
In a Rolling Stone article (7/04), Dashboard Confessional's Chris Carrabba spoke about the importance of merchandise: "Merch sales are what kept us going. Even now, we're still not making our living from playing the shows. Merch is where we make our profit." In that same story, John Mayer commented on merchandise sales and the current state of the recording industry: "You're not making that much money off records anymore, so until people can figure out how to make a re-writable Hanes Beefy-T, merch is one of the last bastions of individuality, commerce and style that an artist has left."
Echoing those sentiments, Amanda Palmer of The Dresden Dolls told NPR (1/17/07): "We make almost no money off our recordings themselves." To earn a steady income, NPR interviewer Chris Arnold noted that "The Dresden Dolls can take in more than $1,000 a night selling merchandise, which makes the 'merch table' a major source of income why they're on the road."
While generating money is the most obvious benefit of band merchandise, the valuable impressions made from exposure to potential fans is just as important. Arming your current fan base with a fashionable marketing tool will only help to promote your band and raise your profile. To this end, musicians should take great care in creating logos and images that accurately reflects their sound and image while appealing to consumers. For inspiration, turn to Threadless.com for a wide range of arresting designs. If you don't have the skills to create the design, try cutting costs by recruiting a graphic arts student to handle the project for you.
Selling your band merchandise can be done at live shows or online via your web site. Create links at social music sites like Echoboost.com to draw more traffic and use secure payment services, such as PayPal, to handle the monetary transactions. Email fan club members when new products become available and try offering special packages, bundling your CDs or downloads with t shirts, buttons and/or stickers to drive sales and spread the word about your music.
You shouldn't let expenses drain your passion for music. Put your music to work for you with your own merchandise and keep making the music you love.
I got 100 printed hanes beefy tee shirt from we need merch. All the Hanes Tee Shirts I ordered fit very well and are tough for rough work.

John Price reviews Barb Jungr's 'Every Grain Of Sand'
Music, Out to Lunch Festival, The Black Box
A set of 16 songs, half of which were released in the 1960's, and accompanied by Jenny Carr on piano, Barb Jungr, winner of Broadway World's Cabaret Award received two standing ovations from an almost entirely older audience of around one hundred at the Black Box for the Out to Lunch Festival. This reception reminded me why so many artists love coming to Belfast citing the unique audience reception.
Jungr had been introduced using a quote from Billy Bragg as "the best interpreter of Dylan songs in the world". She then told us that she has "a compulsive obsession with Dylan's music" and "has spent seventeen years doing this work".
Certainly there has been a lot written about the impressive penetration of Jungr's investigation of Dylan's writing. For that reason I walked in with relatively high expectations.
Over a rather tinny piano, Jungr began the first song, smiling through an upbeat version of "Things have changed". Very quickly, certain performance ticks became evident.
During "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" when Jungr reached the lines "all your sea-sick sailors now are rowing home" she bent to make rowing gestures. In "Every Grain Of Sand "and the lines" every hair is numbered" she smiled, looked up and grabbed her hair, and again in the lines "I hear the ancient footsteps" she looked down at her feet and edged forward. In "Chimes of Freedom" and the lines "the whole wide universe", slowly turning 360 degrees, she raised her head to stare at the ceiling.
This was seriously problematic. So many literal interpretations of the lyrics got in the way of trying to "feel" Jungr's efforts to showcase her connectedness to Dylan's work. Shelter from the Storm was particularly poor. Jungr completely missed the comforting sensitivity of this song through her fractured melody, dramatic gesturing, shouting and seemingly Kate Bush inspired vocal histrionics. Not so much Knockin' on Heaven's Door, during which the audience was treated to yodelling and invited participation, more like stomping on Dylan's door.
Too often the songs were over-sweet or raucous and theatrical. I can appreciate that many people feel Jungr understands Dylan, some think she adds to the canon. And in purely those terms, as an interpreter of Dylan's songs, well there are distinguished precursors – Odetta, The Byrds, Maria Muldaur, Joan Baez, Patti Smith – in that company this simply wasn't an impressive effort. Too often I was reminded of an off Broadway show tunes approach to work which is too nuanced to be delivered in such a fashion.
I know that I am entirely at odds with the audience, apart from my daughter, a huge Dylan fan who accompanied me to Maysfield Leisure Centre twenty four years ago to hear a stellar performance from Dylan, who thought that Jungr brought mania to the songs, "butchering them" in the process.
With Dylan, in his more emotive works, the sadness is earned; his songs were forged through the flames. There was no evidence of an understanding of that side of Dylan's work this evening.
It wasn't all difficult listening. For both myself and my daughter, the highlights were `I Want You` and `What Good Am I?` Jungr managed to convey the pathos in these two beautiful songs. In her introduction to them she made a thinly-disguised reference to Trump's inauguration. From "I Want You". she quoted the lines, "the drunken politician leaps upon the streets where women weep" stating her belief that, "a lot of people will be weeping on Saturday!"
Hard Rain's Gonna Fall
Her penultimate song, released in 1963, "A Hard Rain's a Gonna Fall". Jungr fist-pumped, stomped and crouched her way through this, rushing verses together and missing the nuances of so many lines completely. It is impossible for me not to compare Jungr's version of this great song with Patti Smith's.
When she sang A Hard Rain in Stockholm, in a performance to mark Dylan's Nobel prize for literature, she completely captured Dylan's savage indignation and the subtleties of that song, without the need for cabaret theatrics, shouting or dramatic facial expressions.
Jungr's passion for Dylan songs is clear and she has at times a powerful voice. But there was nothing impressive about this performance. It was often clumsy and laboured, raucous and staccato. It just didn't feel authentic or believable. As an interpreter of Dylan songs, "it ain't you Barb, it ain't you I'm looking for".

Hagar, like all women today, was born in Egypt [Babylon]; she did not know the Creator or His eternal, unchanging and set-apart ways. But unlike most women today, Hagar was born as a daughter of Pharaoh through one of his concubines.
Yasher 15:30 Now therefore here is thy woman, take her and go from our land lest we all die on her account. And Pharaoh took more cattle, men servants and maid servants, and silver and gold, to give to Abram, and he returned unto him Sarai his woman. 31 And the king took a maiden whom he begat by his concubines, and he gave her to Sarai for a handmaid.
I am sure that having her status changed from a mistress in Pharaoh's house to a handmaid in the house of the Hebrew Abram was quite a shock. But Hagar's father, the Pharaoh, comforted Hagar with these words as she pleaded with him to let her stay.
No truer words were ever spoken to Hagar; and during the course of the next ten years she learned how to become a woman of worth in the house of Abram.
Yasher 16:23 And Sarai, the daughter of Haran, Abram's woman, was still barren in those days; she did not bear to Abram either son or daughter. 24 And when she saw that she bare no children she took her handmaid Hagar, whom Pharaoh had given her, and she gave her to Abram, her man, to be a woman for him. 25 For Hagar learned all the ways of Sarai as Sarai taught her, she was not in any way deficient in following her good ways.
Sarai blamed Yehovah for her inability to give Abram a son as He had promised him; but sometimes His timing is just not ours. In order to bring Yehovah's plan to a quicker resolution Sarai decided to bring Yehovah's word to pass in her flesh. After-all, who really needs His help?
To expedite Yehovah's will in their lives Sarai decided to take advantage of one of the traditions of the Canaanites. If a women could not bear, another woman was often brought in to do so for her. This second woman would then give birth while sitting on the former woman's lap and the child would pass through her legs as well.
Did Hagar have a choice in this matter? Did Sarai have a choice when Abram took her?
Jasher 16:26 And Sarai said to Abram, Behold here is my handmaid Hagar, go to her that she may bring forth upon my knees, that I may also obtain a son through her.
27 And at the end of ten years of Abram's dwelling in the land of Canaan, which is the eighty-fifth year of Abram's life, Sarai gave Hagar unto him.
28 And Abram hearkened to the voice of his woman Sarai, and he took his handmaid Hagar and Abram came to her and she conceived.
Ishmael was born a year later for Sarai and by Hagar. But even women of worth can "cop an attitude" and in this case they both did. Sarai was jealous because of her inability to bear a son for Abram.
Yasher 16:30 And when Sarai saw that Hagar had conceived by Abram, Sarai was jealous of her handmaid, and Sarai said within herself, this is surely nothing else but that she must be better than I am.
And Hagar looked down on Sarai believing that her worth was greater before Yehovah. For she was able to do, in less than a year, what Sarai had not done in over 35 years; give Abram a son.
Yasher 16:29 And when Hagar saw that she had conceived she rejoiced greatly, and her mistress was despised in her eyes, and she said within herself, This can only be that I am better before Elohim than Sarai, my mistress, for all the days that my mistress has been with my lord, she did not conceive, but me Yehovah has caused, in so short a time, to conceive by him.
Yasher 16:32 And when I speak to Hagar in thy presence, she despises my words, because she has conceived. And thou wilt say nothing to her? May Yehovah judge between me and thee for what thou hast done to me.
33 And Abram said to Sarai, "Behold thy handmaid is in thy hand, do unto her as it may seem good in thy eyes;." Thus Sarai afflicted her, and Hagar fled from her to the wilderness.
I'm guessing that what Hagar received from Sarai was emotional, verbal and physical abuse just like many a woman today receives from their man, their covering. Could Hagar have avoided this confrontation with Sarai by maintaining a better attitude?
Hagar left and found herself, pregnant and alone, in the wilderness and on her way back to Egypt. Augh! Oh, this breaks my heart and I am weeping as I write this. Yehovah cares about women of worth and does not want them to be alone in the wilderness. He cared so much for Hagar that He sent an angel, a messenger, a sent one (probably a man just like me) to find her in the wilderness. This precious messenger of Yehovah only had a one short message for her. She could receive it, act on it, and remain in Yehovah's will or she could continue on her road back to Egypt; and ultimate destruction.
Jasher 16:34 And Yehovah' messenger found her in the place where she had fled, by a well, and he said to her, Do not fear, for I will multiply thy seed, for thou shalt bear a son and thou shalt call his name Ishmael; now then return to Sarai thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
Fortunately Hagar was not only a woman of worth but also a wise woman who recognized the words of Yehovah and returned to her master, her covering.
Yasher 16:36 And Hagar at that time returned to her master's house, and at the end of days Hagar bare a son to Abram, and Abram called his name Ishmael; and Abram was eighty-six years old when he begat him.
Because Hagar heard the message of Yehovah; He continued to bless her during her next 19 years in Abram's house and even after that time when they left Abram's house and was released into her son's care.
The goal for every woman is to become A Woman of Worth, and that can not happen without a man (father, husband, uncle, cousin, son and even a master) in your life, whom you can learn to serve.
Here is my video teaching on Genesis 16 and the story of Hagar. I hope you enjoy it.

Prof's Op-Ed Claims Libs of TikTok Promotes Anti-LGBTQ Hate
"makes curatorial decisions in what to amplify to construct a harmful narrative about queer people"
Posted by Mike LaChance Tuesday, January 24, 2023 at 12:00pm 9 Comments
All Libs of TikTok does is share videos and social media postings that other people have posted themselves.
Campus Reform reports:
Professor's op-ed accuses Libs of TikTok of 'generating anti-LGBTQ hate'
A recent op-ed claims that the Twitter account Libs of TikTok is "a hate account" for its portrayal of the LGBTQ community.
Libs of TikTok curates content from left-leaning users to critically expose their ideas, including posts about pronouns, defunding the police, and children's books on gender identity.
Associate Professor of Sociolology Roderick Graham of Old Dominion University wrote the Newsweek op-ed, "LibsofTikTok's Interviews Prove She's Not Unbiased. She's Generating Anti-LGBTQ Hate."
Brooklyn real estate agent Chaya Raichik, Libs of TikTok's owner, operated the account anonymously until The Washington Post revealed her name in April 2022, according to the New York Post.
Raichik credits her videos, the New York Post reported, with the firing of "a dozen teachers," canceling drag shows, and inspiring Florida's Parental Rights in Education bill, which "prohibit[s] classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity" from kindergarten to the third grade.
"Though the videos are already in the public domain, Raichik makes curatorial decisions in what to amplify to construct a harmful narrative about queer people—namely, that a cabal of queer activists and educators are sexualizing young people and indoctrinating them into a queer ideology," Graham wrote in his op-ed.
"Raichick [sic] makes decisions about what to repost and—even more importantly—how to frame those reposted videos to construct that narrative."

By just putting their statements out there, which the people have placed into the public arena, aren't the speakers the ones who are generating any responses, including bad ones?
"Raichik makes curatorial decisions in what to amplify to construct a harmful narrative about queer people"
Awwwwww!
The Cancel Crowd is all about "Look at the one embarrassing posting So-and-so made 20 years ago on social media, when he was 8." But pointing out what one of their members said three days ago when they are 28 and working for a school system is "harmful."

Makes perfect sense.
Many leftists actually do hate anyone they disagree with. I've seen it time and time again. It is impossible to discuss the issues with them without them devolving into red faced, spittle ejecting, incoherence.
They naturally assume everyone else is like them (projection), therefore anyone who disagrees with them *must* hate them as much as they hate those with whom they disagree.
Same reason they're anti-gun. They know full well that they aren't stable and mature enough to be trusted to have deadly weapons within their reach at all times – it wouldn't take much to set them off enough for them to want to use those weapons against the people they hate; this failing is projected onto everyone (I'm normal right? so if I'm normal and I feel this way then everyone else must feel this way as well) and so, by extension, they determine that everyone is a rage filled potential mass killer and cannot be trusted with weapons.
Free promotion and extended reach for others' political, polemical posts is bad, wrong, and evil?

Harmful, or truthful?
And isn't this Prof. implying that libs are "LGBTQ"? Otherwise the Libs of TikTok name is inaccurate.

Well, LOTT does focus pretty much exclusively on the gender hustlers, as opposed to, say, the gun-banners or the race hustlers.

Survey says users willing to unblock advertising if it is non-intrusive
Peter Houston@SpinyTrends May 14, 2021
The use of adblockers is a challenge for publishers that rely on advertising revenue. But a recent survey of over 5,000 internet users in the US shows acceptance of advertising that meets the less intrusive 'Acceptable Ads' standard is growing fast.
The 2021 PageFair Adblock Report by Canadian ad-tech company Blockthrough says mobile adblocking grew 10% last year to reach 586 million users. Desktop adblocking grew 8% to reach 257 million users, higher than recent years due to increased home computer use driven by COVID-19 restrictions.
Almost 40% of respondents said they began using an adblocker within the last two years; the remaining 60-plus have been long-time adblockers. The majority of users surveyed said they blocked ads to avoid bad ad experiences.
The good news for publishers is that almost three quarters of those surveyed said they don't mind being advertised to if the ads don't compromise their privacy and meet certain quality standards; 63% said they would accept 'light, non-intrusive' advertising to support web publishers.
Acceptable advertising
The rise in acceptance of 'Acceptable Ads' marks important progress in the area of user experience as they provide an 'acceptable compromise' between publishers, brands, and consumers.
The Acceptable Ads program established a set of criteria for ads that are deemed to be less intrusive for consumers while delivering creating a way for publishers and advertisers to have ads approved for delivery to Adblock Plus users.
According to the 2021 PageFair Adblock Report advertising meeting the Acceptable Ads criteria reached 218 million users in 2020. That represents growth of 435% on mobile over the last two years.
63% of top US Comscore publishers covered in the report use adblock countermeasures, up from 56% last year. But for publishers considering adblock walls or forcing audiences to pay for content, adblock users are twice as likely to accept light, non-intrusive ads.
Consent-based advertising
The 2021 Adblock report says, "The increasing focus on user consent has been the driver of significant change in the advertising industry, from privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA to Google's looming deprecation of third-party cookies."
The changes in advertising standards, both forced by government regulation and those adopted by platform providers are causing real upheaval throughout publishing. But much of the industry is optimistic that the focus on user consent will deliver long-term benefits to publishers.
Commentary on the recent iOS14.5 changes made by Apple outlines the problem. Following the rollout of the 'Ask App not to Track' button, an overwhelming overwhelming majority – 96% of US users – are opting out of app tracking.
"Pervasive user "tracking" has eroded the advertising opportunities of publishers large and small," writes Jason Kint of Digital Content Next. But he sees future opportunities for publishers.
"When the dust settles and we take stock of the reshaped landscape, we will see that the crumbling cookie and the fall of pervasive and invasive 'tracking' will clear the way for our industry to build better solutions," says Kint.
Echoing the findings of the 2021 Adblock report he says, "These will be based upon quality experiences and transparent and in-context data collection".

The information need fueling growth for crypto media companies


Say you are working on an necessary doc-a piece file, a school thesis, or a personal letter-and suddenly your laptop shuts off. Or say a virus sneaks into your system and begins eating holes in your family photo recordsdata, what are you going to do? When a valuable picture or an essential document seem irrevocably misplaced, knowledge recovery software program can discover and restore the file. Welcome to a professional data recovery company. It is the solution.
Expert pc technicians can recover knowledge by accessing the advanced indexing system used by the pc to piece collectively misplaced files. But you would not have to be a talented laptop technician to get better lost or broken system files. Fortunately, well-qualified corporations provide knowledge restoration software to do that work for you.
The software program routinely locates quickly misplaced files or the fragments of those information by restoring the working system's capacity to entry the file and piecing collectively missing files. Although sometimes misplaced files are very similar to scattered puzzle items, knowledge restoration software can put the puzzle collectively and return the entire file to it is proper place. Data restoration software program will search the laborious drive for all the data that is still on the disk but is fragmented, damaged, deleted, or misplaced.
When a virus deletes a part of a file or a person unintentionally deletes a file or a complete folder from person entry, the information does not immediately disappear forever. In truth, when a file is deleted it stays on the physical landscape of the computer's storage machine till the computer makes use of that space for extra data recovery emails coupon codes. While the file stays on the hard drive, it is possible to recuperate the pieces and make it accessible to the user.
Backing up files constantly is the primary protection towards knowledge loss, however the software will recuperate lost, fragmented, deleted, or destroyed recordsdata earlier than they're written over with new ones. If you happen to lose an important file, data recovery software can discover it for you, but only if you realize your error before the pc makes use of that space. If new information replaces the lost data, the software program is not going to be able to work properly. But for those who're fast, knowledge restoration software program will save the day.
In short, software for information recovery is a lifesaver when the occasional system hiccup or user mistake finally ends up costing you a valuable document because it may possibly find the files and restore them to their proper place.

The YETI® Tundra® 110 was designed specifically with the rafting community in mind. It's sized to fit all major raft frames snugly, so your YETI doesn't end up overboard. And like all YETI coolers, the Tundra 110 is built to last trip after trip, with the same rotomolded polyethylene construction used to make white-water kayaks. Up to 3 inches of PermaFrost™ Insulation and our ColdLock™ Gasket mean you won't have to constantly top it off with ice. Which is good, because you don't pass too many convenience stores on the river.

German MEP Opposes Visa Liberalisation With Ukraine
July 3, 2012 September 4, 2017 EurActiv 0 Comments
By EurActiv
(EurActiv) — In what appears to be a further toughening of Germany's position on Ukraine, a leading MEP close to Chancellor Angela Merkel has opposed the Commission's move towards a visa facilitation agreement.
MEP Elmar Brok, chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs and a member of Merkel's CDU party, warned that the European Commission should cancel its plans for a visa facilitation opening with Ukraine, at least until after the 28 October elections.
Brok said in a statement yesterday (2 July) that the conclusion of a visa facilitation agreement with Ukraine "would be the wrong thing to do. EU policy towards Ukraine should be firm and consistent and continue to insist on clear commitments from the Ukrainian authorities towards democratic values and the rule of law."
The European Parliament has serious concerns about the rule of law and cases of selective justice and political persecution in Ukraine, Brok said.
Without naming Yulia Tymoshenko (see background), Ukraine's imprisoned former prime minister, Brok said that any engagement with the current Ukrainian authorities should not have the effect of rewarding the government before the autumn parliamentary elections.
He also said that any moves should be conditional on the conclusions of a report by the European Parliament's envoys to Ukraine – former Parliament President Pat Cox and former Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski. The two senior politicians were appointed last month by the Parliament as observers to the appeal proceedings involving Tymoshenko, which began on 26 June.
But the Parliament doesn't appear to be united behind Brok's appeal. The head of the Parliament's delegation for relations with Ukraine, Polish MEP Paweł Kowal (European Conservatives and Reformists group), urged the Commission and the Council to sign the visa facilitation agreement with Ukraine "without delay". The Socialist and Democrats group also favours keeping alive a "positive agenda" with Ukraine, which includes visa facilitation.
Many MEPs across political lines also believe that ordinary Ukrainians should not be punished for the authorities' handling of issues such as the Tymoshenko case.
The EU has concluded visa facilitation agreements with Russia, Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia. Under these deals, categories of citizens can benefit from facilitated procedures for issuing visas.
For Ukraine, a dialogue leading to visa liberalisation was launched on 29 October 2008. An Action Plan for Visa Liberalisation was presented to Ukraine at the EU-Ukraine Summit on 22 November 2010. Recently, the second progress report on the action plan was adopted.
Visa facilitation should not be confused with the lifting of the visa requirement, which could only come at a later stage.

Why Marketers Need to be Down with OPP (Other People's Platforms)
Ben Rubenstein
Sr. Manager, Social Media & Online Community
Are you down with OPP?
Sorry, '90s rap fans, I'm not talking about the acronym popularized by Naughty By Nature, but one more appropriate for B2B publishers and marketers: Other People's Platforms.
For a long time, marketers have been comfortable with using others' platforms – Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc. – as a way to drive people to content and landing pages they own. But recent developments have forced a change to that way of thinking, as these platforms have taken steps to leverage their dominance in media consumption.
Most major social platforms now offer – and importantly, often give preference to – publishing tools that keep users within their walled gardens instead of pointing to some external domain they don't control. On Facebook Instant Articles and native videos are creeping into more and more news feeds; LinkedIn users can publish blog posts to be distributed to their networks via Pulse. Even Twitter, a platform tailor-made for linking elsewhere due to its low character limit, may soon allow users to submit much more text (Twitter Moments is also aimed at keeping users on the platform longer). The list goes on. If you're not yet convinced we're living in a platform economy, you should be.
What does this mean for content marketers?
It's easy to see why platforms are heading in this direction, but what does it mean for those of us who create content?
Clearly, publishers need to be prepared to give up some control over how users experience their content. But with the range of devices, apps, aggregators and feeds out there, that was already a given. If your business is dependent on users coming to a specific page on your website, you're probably already in trouble.
Platform publishing is another big step away from that model, but the result is likely more visibility – and there are other benefits, too. If you're publishing your content directly on Facebook rather than linking off somewhere else, you're essentially helping Facebook meet its goals of more users spending more time and attention within the platform. It stands to reason that Facebook will be more motivated to help that content reach the right users. So rather than banging your head against the wall trying to figure out the regularly changing EdgeRank formula, you can potentially benefit from Facebook's own knowledge (and deep customer insights) to earn more attention in the News Feed.
A good example of how this can work is the Amazon.com Marketplace. While Amazon is often vilified for taking business away from small local businesses, those same businesses often also sell their wares through Amazon's platform. The reason is simple: If Amazon is where the customers are, then that's where these businesses should be, too. In exchange for increased prominence for their products, they give up some revenue, but the trade-off is worth it if the alternative is no business at all.
5 best practices for social platform publishing
The challenge from a marketing perspective is figuring out how to build your business on someone else's terms and turf. Here are a few ideas for approaching social platform publishing:
#1 – Choose your platform(s) carefully
Get to know where your audience lives by looking at where your content is shared and what social platforms drive the most traffic to your content (and especially what leads to the most conversions).
#2 – Find the opportunities with your content
What content types are those platforms giving preference to? For example, videos uploaded to Facebook are getting much more visibility in the News Feed than linked videos – so consider building a version of your video specifically for Facebook, with a call to action to those users who engage there. Got a new blog post? Test out a version of it on LinkedIn Pulse to see how it performs vs. your own post, making sure you're not duplicating content that will compete with your site.
#3 – Nurture the relationship
When users engage, don't immediately try to push them to your site. Instead, have a real discussion on the platform (answer a question, offer more quality content) to build trust before taking the next step.
#4 – Offer a real incentive
If users are going to leave an experience they're comfortable with to go off to your site, there needs to be a compelling reason. Make sure that the enticement – whether a new whitepaper, a free demo or something else – is right for the target audience. You may need to do extensive testing to find what works best for social conversion.
#5 – Collect information right where you are
Instead of trying to get users to complete a form on your site, you may be able to generate leads directly on the platform. For example, Twitter offers lead-generation cards that create a low-friction way for users to share information directly within a Tweet (though results have been mixed).
The days of owned media are numbered. It's time to get down with OPP.

The Causes and Consequences of Increased Female Education and Labor Force Participation in Developing Countries
Rachel Heath & Seema Jayachandran
Revision Date August 2017
Two important recent trends in most developing countries have are the rise in female labor force participation and the closing of gender gaps in school enrollment. This article begins by exploring the causes of the increases in female education, which include greater job availability and policy interventions that have promoted girls' education. The article then explores the causes of increased female employment, which include a sectoral shift from "brawn-based" industries to services, as well as policies that have increased girls' education. The article also discusses the effects of these increases in female education and labor supply, particularly for the well-being of women.

The latest U.S. news
An insulted Trump epidemiologist gave advice to Biden on fighting COVID-19
By: Sam Portman
In: USA
Leading American infectious disease leader Anthony Fauci advised U.S. President-elect Joe Biden on a strategy to combat the COVID-19 epidemic.
According to Fauci, who was insulted by incumbent U.S. President Donald Trump by questioning his professional competence, bars and restaurants must be closed to reduce the incidence of COVID-19 in the country. This was reported by the ABC TV channel.
At the same time, Fauci recommends opening schools, because, according to him, the closure of educational institutions will not help to stop the spread of the epidemic.
The expert stressed that the best way to protect children from COVID-19 is to follow quarantine rules, wear a mask and keep social distance.
"No matter who you are or where you are – when you have crowded places, especially in rooms where people do not wear masks, it is a significant risk of infection and spread," said Fauci.

It's that time of the year again when all of us are summing up our activities for the year and planning ahead for the next one. Like we did in the past, I would like to present you with some very interesting mobile industry predictions made by some of the most interesting executives and rising stars of our quick-changing, high-octane industry. So here they are, and, at the end, I'll let you in on what I think will happen this year. Enjoy!
What do you predict will be a positive trend in the mobile ecosystem next year?
"First of all, 2017 was finally the year of…. mobile programmatic! While it was growing in spurs on desktop, programmatic had faced a lot of challenges in mobile and budgets were slow to migrate from testing phase to scaling. This year, I've finally seen UA clients starting to leverage programmatic effectively, both for performance marketing and for brand advertising. While the monetization side is lagging behind, crippled by waterfall-driven mediation layers, I predict that in 2018 we will see new tools that will enable mobile app publishers to auction off every impression, and maximize their inventory's value".
What do you predict will be a negative trend/fading trend in the mobile ecosystem next year?
"It's not your grandfather's growth hacking anymore. The deal slinging, wild west, 'let's get some downloads' days are gone. While the maturation and professionalization of the industry have some great sides (better ROI measurement!), this also means the bad actors are getting smarter (oh, the scale of fraud!). In 2017, if you're not developing a sophisticated fraud monitoring strategy, you're easy prey. Hopefully, many of these bad actors will be wiped out of the space next year".
What was, in your opinion, the most important event/deal/trend in the app economy in 2017?
"2017 demonstrated that on mobile, concentration wins. We already knew the competition was fierce to be noticed among 2 million other apps in each store, and then be installed, opened, used and selected as one of the 30 or so apps users open monthly. Skyrocketing to the top of the charts with a brand new, independent app was akin to winning the lottery. It's now been demonstrated that challengers have a very hard time keeping these painfully acquired gains on incumbents. The feature blockade from Facebook-owned Instagram seriously challenged the hotter, newer runner-up Snapchat – for whom 2018 will be a decisive year".
"The lack of standardization in the mobile ad ecosystem is a concern of mine. I believe that one of the biggest positive steps in programmatic advertising for mobile was the introduction of Open RTB Protocols, which have evolved and advanced along with the industry. I believe we need similar standardization conventions around many more facets of the industry such as creative naming conventions, fraud identification/prevention, API parameters/macros, and (more so than anything else) reporting".
"Personally the increased spend in emerging markets, particularly from brand advertisers, is an extremely important trend. Performance advertisers have also grown, mostly due to recognizing the cheap cost of acquisition in emerging markets. Brands are also recognizing that many users in emerging markets aren't as driven by intent. Our users tend to look for suggestions and directions on what kind of content they should engage with, deals they should shop for, apps they should download, etc. This makes them ripe for brand engagement. Instead of looking for a new buying mechanism or network, advertisers are realizing that, with emerging markets, the audience is the platform".
"I believe that every app, publisher, or mobile content provider will be using or trying to figure out how to use Machine Learning to personalize their user experience next year.
Everything is going to become personalized. Whether it is in-app content, in-feed content, the types of ads users see, the content of ads users see, app store results, mobile search results, etc will all be personalized through the power of machine learning. This content and personalized experience will be based on real-time data and the relevance of this experience will be very powerful".
"A negative trend in the mobile ecosystem for advertisers 😉 that is, is the spike in use of ad blockers. This is something that has had a major effect on web advertising in the past few years but hasn't yet in mobile. As you start to target more and more mobile-first users who are aware of such services like mobile ad blockers it will become harder and harder to reach unique users through paid advertising".
"I believe the most important trend in 2017 within the app economy is the open discussions that have taken place around mobile ad fraud. Pre 2017 it has been something that has been kept quiet and ignored. This past year we really noticed advertisers speaking up about ad fraud, support from mobile attribution partners in helping advertisers identify ad fraud, and even networks proactively trying to combat fraud as well. There really seems to be a coalition between all partners to end this type of behavior".
"I think the growth of subscription payments as a means of driving material revenues is a pretty positive development in 2017 that will accelerate in 2018. Subscription packages are a far better fit than IAPs as a monetization mechanism for many app verticals outside of gaming, and the decision by both Apple and Google to let developers keep a greater share of post-one year subscription revenues is a win-win-win for the platforms, developers, and consumers.
We saw the stranglehold that games had on the Top Grossing chart dissipate in 2017 and I'd expect to see more big businesses get built on mobile via subscription revenues in 2018. This, in turn, should dispel the idea that mobile is over and can no longer support the creation of important consumer businesses".
"Unfortunately I'm seeing more and more ad tech vendors playing fast and loose with client data, and given how competitive some of the ad tech verticals are at the moment and how lightly policed the space is generally, I wouldn't be surprised to see more cases of egregious misbehavior with respect to the custodianship of client data in 2018".
"I think Singular's acquisition of Apsalar will probably be looked back upon in a few years as a watershed moment for consolidation in the mobile adtech space. I also think Snap's acquisition of Placed was pretty important and showcases how the big mobile social networks think differently about their unique value propositions to advertisers. The most significant general trend is the escalation of the content tensions between Apple and Facebook (link: https://mobiledevmemo.com/coming-war-apple-facebook/), and, more generally, the tensions between the big mobile platforms (iOS / Google Play) and the biggest content channels on mobile. Those tensions will be interesting to track over 2018".

2016: year of Virtual Reality in Sport?

If quarterback Peyton Manning was out to prove a point about his ability to perform in cold weather, he succeeded -- emphatically.
Manning broke the Broncos' single-game franchise record with 39 completions as Denver rolled to a 51-28 victory over the Tennessee Titans with temperatures hovering near 15 degrees on Sunday. His seventh four-touchdown game also broke a record held by former Miami Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino (1984) and the 2004 version of Manning.
The Broncos are averaging 39.6 points per game. They need to total just 75 over the final three games to break the 2007 Patriots' record of 589 points.
1. Denver's 39 first downs fell one short of the record set by the New Orleans Saints a month ago. In addition to quieting concerns about his arm in cold weather, Manning also deep-sixed any talk of competition for his fifth MVP award. The Broncos became the first team in NFL history to have four players with 10-plus touchdowns. If wide receiver Eric Decker scores twice in the final three weeks, they will have five players in double figures.
Manning is now on pace for a ridiculous 55 touchdown tosses and 5,562 yards through the air. He's thrown some of his prettiest passes of the season in the past two games.
2. The Broncos ran 91 plays, compared with 48 for the Titans' offense. That partially explains the low output for Tennessee receiver Kendall Wright, who was targeted on just three of Ryan Fitzpatrick's 24 pass attempts.
3. Rookie running back Montee Ball has turned the Broncos' backfield into a committee attack, outrushing Knowshon Moreno 194 to 96 over the past two weeks. The AFC's richest roster is getting richer for the stretch run while their competition is hemorrhaging key players.
Watch on NFL Mobile with a Verizon premium subscription.
4. The box score doesn't do justice to Broncos linebacker Von Miller, who has been unblockable the past two weeks. To go with a sack and a forced fumble, he also drew a holding penalty and blew up a couple of plays.
5. Titans rookie wide receiver Justin Hunter has shown flashes of special ability, clearing 100 yards for the second time in three weeks. His eight targets led the team, suggesting his role will continue to grow over the final three games.
6. With a Thursday night game on the horizon, Broncos wide receiver Wes Welker is a longshot to play in Week 15 after suffering his second concussion of the season. Look for more two-tight end sets featuring Julius Thomas and Jacob Tamme.
7. Broncos kicker Matt Prater strengthened his case for a Pro Bowl nod by setting the NFL record with a 64-yard field goal.

About Echlinville


Long before my husband and I even considered having children, labour to me was a dirty word; a horrific form of torture that could only feasibly be dealt with by a swift elective caesarean. I was well and truly birth phobic, due largely to that fact that all the women in my family have experienced terrible labours and only ever speak of them with looks of ashen fear. With gynaecological genetics like this, how could I possibly be any different?
Hypnobirthing Hero, Hollie de Cruz aka @theyesmummum, she miraculously helped to transport me from a place of fear to a place of positivity.
About a month before Ivor was born my midwife told that me that he was posterior, which would most likely cause a longer, more painful labour. She also asked if big heads run in my family? Nice; just what every expectant mother wants to hear. I'm not going lie, having to do a myriad of special exercises, sit bolt upright on the sofa / on a pilates ball when all I wanted to go was vegetate and have acupuncture session after session was a right royal pain. But unlike the old me, I didn't panic and freak out. I used my newly learnt hypno tools to breathe through the spiking anxiety.
The midwife wasn't wrong. My birth was long – 48 hours from waters breaking, spine shatteringly challenging and yes, to this day, Ivor has a massive head. But what I still can't quite believe, over two years later, is that I managed it and still feel positive about the whole experience.
My waters broke at 2am and due to some discolouration we had to go to the hospital to get checked out. Fortunately all was fine and a couple hours later we were sent home again but with the explicit warning that if we weren't in active labour within 24 hours I'd have to be induced. The next day was spent mostly relaxing at home, walking, resting, eating donuts and embracing my 'surges' (or contractions to non-hypnobirthers) in a surprisingly (to me) calm way. We shipped off to hospital again, now 24 hours after my waters had broken, because of reduced foetal movements and what we thought were 3:10 surges.
Disappointingly I was only 4cm dilated and the doctors were pushing me to be induced given the time that had already passed. I was adamant that I didn't want this to happen and luckily a kind midwife took pity on me and explained that the impatient doctor wouldn't be back for at least two hours and to see how I got on in that time. Luckily I had dilated another 2cm and the army of doctors let me continue to progress naturally. This part is all a real blur of sickness, pain that I increasingly felt I couldn't cope with, delirium and exhaustion – at this point I'd been in labour for almost two days and was utterly exhausted. On a cheery note, and I've no memory of this, apparently I ate some fish and chips in the middle of it all (you can take the girl out of Glasgow…).
In the end, I was given some kind of induction. Was it a hormone drip? I have genuinely no idea. I was just too zoned out. I relented and agreed to any help possible to get this baby moving and thankfully within a couple of hours the drip had worked and I was pushing. No-one warns you quite how vigorous this part is! I thought I would breath Ivor out like I'd seen in all those wonderful hypnobirthing videos but no, this stage was something akin to running a never ending marathon. But bloody hell do you feel like a hero at the end of it!
And so bang on his due date and after almost 3 hours of pushing (during which time I was continually told that if it didn't happen soon I'd be having a caesarean) my beautiful wee Ivor was born. My husband delivered him, put him on my chest and eventually cut the chord. Nothing, absolutely nothing, prepares you for that moment of complete and utter emotional euphoria. So consuming is it that I was only vaguely aware that at this point I was haemorrhaging quite badly and needed an injection to stop the bleeding. Oh and the stiches – what joy!
Recounting all these details initially filled me with utter fear about doing it all again in May. I was in hospital for a good 5 days in total and it really does take every fibre of your being to grow, deliver and nurture a baby. I may not have had a dreamy home water birth on half a paracetamol and a couple of oms but I did break the pattern of birth trauma in my family and coped with all the challenges in a calm and controlled way. I have reminded myself of just how incredible the female form is and once I have shrouded myself in hypnobirthing confidence, I know that delivering number two will be just as positive and empowering an experience.
And now to life beyond birth… There are a million ways in which having a baby transforms your life. For me, beyond the joy, chaos and exhaustion, it gave me the confidence to leave my demanding commercial fashion producing job – a highly stressful, round the clock environment – and set up the business I'd been dreaming of and was only able to dabble in part time for many years. Dress Yourself Well is a styling service for individuals in need of a confidence boost, particularly following periods of life change, ill health and body transformation. Before having Ivor I had no idea how many wonderful mums I would work with, all adjusting to their new lives and bodies at varying stages of motherhood. Having gone through that journey myself I completely understand how challenging it can be.
Every week I meet mothers who are impatient with their post-partum bodies, struggling to feel themselves again or grappling with how to transition their wardrobe from the playground to the work place. My advice is always to be very, very kind to yourself, embrace your new body and learn how to dress efficiently and for your new shape. Lusting after old clothes that make you feel rubbish is the worst thing you can do and investing in some mood and confidence boosting alternatives is a great step towards reclaiming your sense of self. Mums, just as our birth stories shape and inform our lives, so too does taking the time to look after ourselves and feel the best we possibly can at such an unquestionably tender time.


Late Conceptualism is the new Formalism; at least that's what it looks like at the tightly wound New York debut of the Dutch artists Jeroen de Rijke and Willem de Rooij. Infused with a post-Koonsian window-dressing elegance, their exhibition centers on a large professional floral arrangement -- replaced daily -- in tones of yellow and orange. It ends, in a second room, with a large black-and-white photograph of the bouquet. In between are two large color photographs whose shaded tones suggest light reflected off the flowers and a slide show of monochromatic gels that cycle through the orange-yellow segment of the spectrum.
Three labels elaborate: one explains the components of the show, revealing that the flowers have been selected to optimize the pale gray tones of black-and-white photography. Another lists the kinds, and numbers, of flowers used in the bouquet. The third discusses the orange tones of the slide piece, mentioning a desire to approximate the color of the uniforms worn by the prisoners at Guantánamo Bay, the expulsion from the Netherlands of 2,600 illegal immigrants in 2004 and the rising popularity of the Dutch monarchy, the House of Orange.
Before you read the labels, the piece creates a brisk perceptual play among art, artifice and reality. After you read them, it starts feeling like a revolutionary cell meeting in the cosmetics section of Barneys.

DRAFT GUIDE
Prospect Analysis

A Sleeper in Seattle?
The Seattle Seahawks are known for many things. A tough defense, a great QB, and a strong running game. And after last season there's reason to believe we can add 'solid WR group' to that conversation. However the position that seems to be overlooked the most in Seattle is the Tight End. It's fair to do so, as Seattle only managed to rank 20th in targets to the Tight End in 2019. But one player at the position has the potential to change that narrative, and his name is Will Dissly.
It's well apparent that Dissly has a history of injuries plaguing his NFL career, with a torn labrum stopping his 2018 run and a torn achilles in 2019. But it's also worth noting that despite only playing in six games, Dissly finished 3rd on the team in TD receptions (4). Quarterback Russell Wilson started showing a habit of relying more on the TE (specifically in the red-zone and short yardage situations), and this is apparent when you look at Jacob Hollister's numbers after replacing the injured Dissly. Even more surprising is that if you look at Dissly and Hollister's numbers, the combined total would have been that of a Top 10 Fantasy Football TE. While not Top 10, I think a Top 15 final ranking is easily attainable if Will is able to stay healthy for the duration of the season.
Despite the Seahawks signing former Panther Greg Olsen this off-season, I believe Dissly has a chance of emerging as a sleeper going into this year. Olsen has an injury history of his own (missing 17 games in 3 seasons), and father time does not treat players kindly. And on the flip side of that, despite the issues with Olsen, his presence will still command defenses to account for him; allowing for Dissly find himself open more times than not.
While Dissly may not be your starting TE going into the season, he has the potential to be a great plug-and-play throughout the year (as long as his health allows him to do so). Despite talent at the WR an RB positions, QB Russell Wilson has a tendency to target the TEs where it matteres most, 3rd down and the RZ. These targets allow for great opportunity for Dissly to snag some points, especially with defenses most likely keying in on Greg Olsen. With the Seahawks having a plethora of TEs, expect them to be running a lot more 2-TE sets, given Dissly plenty of chances to prove his worth going forward.
