The Plugable UD-CAM dramatically increases the functionality, usability, and flexibility of supported USB-C systems like the 2015 and later 12″ MacBook Retina with USB-C, late 2016/2017 MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt 3, Dell XPS, Precision, and Latitude systems with Thunderbolt 3, and the Microsoft Surface Book 2. Power up your productivity with the ability to add an external HDMI display while simultaneously providing up to 85W of power to charge your system and expanding your connectivity with Ethernet, audio input/output, and four USB ports to connect your peripherals. All through a single USB-C cable!
The functionality of the UD-CAM Mini Dock is powered by two of USB 3.1's most exciting new features: support for Alternate Modes and Power Delivery. Alternate Mode allows certain non-USB data and protocols (such as native video) to be sent over a USB-C cable, while Power Delivery enables you to power and charge a supported system without the need for a traditional proprietary OEM charger. Support for these features must also be built-in to the system being used, so please see the important additional compatibility details in the sections below.
The extended charge and power availability with the UD-CAM (at a total of up to 85W available) ensures that your device will stay charged, powered, and ready to go for any intensive application usage!
The UD-CAM is compatible with Windows 10, 8.1, and MacOS 10.12.6+ supported USB-C systems.
USB-A PORTS: The UD-CAM relies upon new functionality introduced with USB 3.1 and as such is not compatible with USB 3.0/2.0 legacy systems.
ADAPTERS: It cannot be utilized with individual USB-C to USB-A based adapters or cables, as USB 3.0 does not support Power Delivery or VESA Alt-Mode via basic USB 3.0 ports.
PHONES: Most current phones and tablets with USB-C ports do not support Alternate Mode video output, and some do not support USB Power Delivery. Consult your device documentation or contact device manufacturer to confirm compatibility with these technologies.
USB-C RETROFITS: Aftermarket add-in USB USB 3.1 controllers with USB-C ports (such as those from ASMedia) generally cannot not support Alternate Mode video or host charging, because they lack a direct connection to the GPU and host power supply.
The UD-CAM utilizes the VESA DisplayPort Alternate Mode over USB-C ("Alt Mode") which has a direct pipeline to the host graphics processor (GPU) in your system and the connected monitor will perform as a natively attached display. Video and photo editing, gaming, and other resource-intensive tasks are possible assuming that the system's GPU capabilities are sufficient for the application being used.
The UD-CAM's power supply can charge hosts with up to 85 Watts of power. As mentioned above, some systems which support video output over USB-C will not charge via USB-C. For these systems, the charger from your system manufacturer will be required.
Plug and Play installation on any USB-C Windows and Mac hosts which fully support DisplayPort Alternate Mode and/or USB-C 3.1 Power Delivery.
UD-CAM Mini Docking Station with VESA Mount, 1m USB-C to USB-C cable, 100W (20V, 5A) power supply and quick start guide.
Feel free to contact us directly at support@plugable.com if you have any questions. Whether you've purchased the UD-CAM and need support or you're considering a purchase and would like help understanding this docking station's features, we're here to help.
Q: I'm having issues with the Ethernet port on my UD-CAM not functioning as expected on a Mac host system. Is there anything I can try for troubleshooting?
A: Verify if your system supports PD over USB-C and also identify which port has this functionality, if multiple USB-C ports are available. The compatibility table on this page lists known compatible systems. The green indicator light on the front side of the docking station also verifies if the docking station recognizes the host laptop and if it is charging.
Q: Can I utilize the USB-C port on the rear of the docking station for charging or connecting other devices?
A: The USB-C port located on the back side of the docking station is designed to charge your host computer as well as connect the docking station to the host machine. Without a connection being established between the docking station and the host system, all internal abilities of the docking station cannot be used, and the USB-C port should only utilized for connected a supported and compatible host system, and not for charging or connecting other devices.
A: Possibly, the front USB 3.0 port is compliant with the USB-IF BC1.2 standard. The 3 rear USB 3.0 ports do not support USB-IF BC 1.2. Not all devices support BC1.2 and devices decide if and how quickly they will charge, and often look for special signaling before doing so. Standard USB 2.0 devices can draw up to 500mA while USB 3.0 devices can draw up to 900mA. Some devices that support the USB-IF BC1.2 standard can draw more at up to 1.5A. When the host computer is off, in sleep mode, or disconnected, these ports can emulate proprietary charging methods like the Apple 2.4A signal for iPhones and iPads.
Q: Does the UD-CAM support DisplayPort monitors?
A: No. The port complies with HDMI 1.4, and as such 3840×2160 (4K is only achievable at 30Hz. 2560×1440 and all lower resolutions will display at 60Hz.

Title: "Thank God All Mighty, home at last!" - the settlers erect shelter at Bush Prairie near what is now Olympia, Washington, November 1845.
Description: One of a series of five paintings by Jacob Lawrence depicting the George Washington Bush party traveling to Oregon. Gouache on board. This panel illustrates people working to construct shelters in their new home. This is the fifth panel of the series. The artist intended the panels to be hung with the first panel on the right to indicate travel from east to west.
Description: Photograph of William Owen Bush, or a manipulated image of him, of Tumwater, WA, Thurston County with a display of agricultural products, at an unknown location. The bulk of the photograph is a large display room. A tall cabinet at the rear is filled with grains. Above the cabinet is a placard reading Thurston County W.O. Bush Cereal Exhibit. Standing on the cabinet also is a stuffed owl and another stuffed bird. Deer heads and antlers are mounted on the wall. A stuffed bald eagle is mounted on a pillar in the center of the room. On a table are jars full of fruits and nuts. In the foreground is a table with recessed boxes, one of which holds the 1890 Whitham and Page promotional map of Olympia, WA, Thurston County. Another placard at the rear wall brags about the many awards received for Thurston County agriculture. Behind the display table is a young man, unidentified. To the right of the photograph stands an elderly man identified on a mounting inscription as William Owen Bush. He has white hair and a full white beard and mustache. He is wearing a three-piece suit. The photograph appears to have been manipulated in some way, because the agricultural displays and part of the floor can be seen through his clothing. In addition, black ink has been applied to the area behind his head to create the illusion of a shadow. William Owen Bush was the son of pioneer mixed-race George [Washington] Bush. He was a renowned farmer and state legislator.
Description: Album page containing ten photographs featuring descendants of Thurston County pioneer George Washington and Isabella Bush and their farm. Photographs are catalogued individually.

I am back with another eye pencil from Colorbar but this time its I-Glide range. I am going crazy about eye pencils these days :-D. After getting good reviews of I-Glide pencils, thought to give it a try. I purchased it from the Colorbar store because there you can try the swatches and come to know if the color will look good on you.
My Experience - Color of the pencil is darker than actual jade color; I guess there is some color problem with "Colorbar eye pencils"…hehe.
Unlike the I-Define range this one is creamy in texture and the color comes in one swipe. For a thick coat you can swipe it twice. It glides so smoothly on the lids that I do not have to apply any pressure or extra efforts…its kind of gel liner. In spite of being creamy, it does not smudge on my lids and stays for 8-9 hours. I do not apply the eye pencils on the waterline so cannot comment on the staying power on the waterline. It does not break on the lids and easily comes off with an eye makeup remover. It brightens up my face and compliments well with my green and white kurtis. I am totally in love with this and would recommend it to the readers.
If the pencil is exposed to air for long then tip of the pencil becomes little dry and you can not enjoy the extra smoothness of it. So ensure that the cap is placed tight. Also the lid of the pencil is soft so it might break at times if not handled properly.
I am wearing Bourjois kajal in this picture.
wow! this is a really gorgeous and pigmented liner.
How are Elle 18 eye pencils?..wanted to try one.
I like how pigmented it is! Looks great! Sometimes the pricy items are worth it!
beautiful colour..it looks so nice..
i like sparkles all over the eyes.
All the credit goes to our guest writer Akanksha.
This colour is lovely!! Sounds like a great eye liner too.
But do u think this is comparable to lakme's silk eyeliner in jaded? Any idea if which would b better ?? Ive never tried silk eyeliner so dnt knw the quality!

Randy Travis opens up about childhood trauma, addiction struggles and the music industry in new memoir

Randy Travis opens up about childhood trauma, addiction struggles and the music industry in new memoir In his new memoir, Randy Travis is open about his experience with childhood trauma, his struggle with addiction and his brushes with the law. Check out this story on USATODAY.com: https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/books/2019/06/05/after-stroke-randy-travis-reconnects-cma-fest-2019/1349709001/
Cindy Watts, Nashville Tennessean Published 6:51 a.m. ET June 5, 2019
Country star Randy Travis, who survived a near fatal stroke in 2013 that left him with a limited ability to speak, has released his first memoir chronicling his rise to fame in candid detail. (June 3) AP
Randy Travis flatlined. During a serious struggle with cardiomyopathy in 2013, the legendary country singer's heart stopped beating, and intensive care doctors at a Texas hospital shocked him back to life. Three days later, his family learned he'd suffered a massive stroke.
Travis spent nearly six months in hospitals in Texas and Tennessee -- about six weeks of it in a coma. He had two brain surgeries, got pneumonia three times, was intubated seven times, had three tracheotomies and a feeding tube. While hospitalized in Nashville, Travis caught staph infections from hospital-borne bacteria and, again, doctors told his wife Mary Travis to say goodbye.
But, it wasn't time. The stroke took his mobility, use of the right side of his body, his independence and robbed him of speech. His distinct baritone, doctors now note, was miraculously untouched. Someday Travis might perform again, but the Country Music Hall of Famer is hungry to reconnect with his fans right now.

With his dazzling grin and his left hand purposefully trained to write his name, Travis will pose for pictures with fans this week at the Country Music Festival in Nashville for the first time in more than two decades and autograph his new memoir, "Forever and Ever, Amen: a Memoir of Music, Faith and Braving the Storms of Life," which is out now.
"He loves those fans so much," said Mary Travis, seated beside her husband in a Nashville office building. The singer's speech is still halted following the stroke, and she often speaks for him.
Randy Travis changed the course of pop-leaning country music in 1986 with the release of his multiplatinum-selling "Storms of Life." In the next three decades, he charted 16 No. 1 songs including "Forever and Ever, Amen," "Deeper than a Holler" and "On the Other Hand."
"I can't find another artist in any format in the history of music that turned a format 180 degrees right back into itself, a mirror of what it was, and made it bigger than it was before," Garth Brooks told The Tennessean.
Randy Travis' sweeping influence and career stats are points of record, but co-writer Ken Abraham, a popular Christian author, wanted more for the book. The author spent about six months conducting interviews with close to 40 people for the memoir and another two fact checking stories with the Travises. Abraham spent time chatting with the singer's business associates and siblings, and hours and hours with his wife.
While the couple of has only been married since 2015, Mary Travis said that in the years before his stroke they often sat up all night telling stories and talking about life. They laughed about the time his horse stuck its head through the stable and ate his brother's marijuana plant. He told her about the early days in his career and they commiserated over their previous failed marriages.
"I wish I listened faster," Mary Travis said. "But I didn't know the stroke was going to come along a few years later."
"Man, I wish you had had a recorder," Abraham replied from a few feet away.
"He talked and told me so many stories and those were the ones I was trying to remember in talking to Ken," she said, explaining that what she didn't know, Abraham learned through research. "But the horse was one that he told me so graphically."

The book begins with Randy Travis' early life on the farm in North Carolina. It covers his love of horses and his father's controlling, sometimes abusive, behavior. The pages outline the complexity of his relationship with his first wife and manager Elizabeth Hatcher, who is 16 years his senior. The singer met Hatcher when he was 16 years old and sang in her North Carolina bar.
Travis is open about his experience with childhood trauma, his struggle with addiction and his brushes with the law. He outlines how the blind trust he extended to his business relationships proved harshly detrimental and how other members of his music business family often rallied around him when he was in need.
Abraham collected the information, wrote the chapters and then sent them to Randy Travis to edit. The singer crossed out the parts with which he didn't agree and shipped the pages back.
"He knows everything, remembers everything," Mary Travis said.
"My goal was to get Randy's heart on paper, not just the facts," explained Abraham, a bestselling author who has also written books with Jimmy Wayne, Chuck Norris and Buzz Aldrin. "There is a standard much higher than a journalistic standard and that's taking the high road where God will be pleased with what we do. You can tell the truth and tell the story powerfully and emotionally without hurting people."
"Randy lived the colorful life," Mary Travis added. "You don't have to embellish it."

Turkey has launched a plan to control surging inflation that involves urging businesses to cut prices by at least 10%.
Finance minister Berat Albayrak launched the initiative yesterday, vowing an "all-out war" against inflation. The discount plan is voluntary and will cover all goods that make up Turkey's inflation basket, and will apply till the end of the year. Companies that try to increase profits under the current circumstances would cause greater losses in the near term, warned Albarak – the son-in-law of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The inflation-busting program also includes a freeze on energy prices, an acceleration on VAT rebates and banks offering 10% discounts on high-interest loans.
President Erdoğan also called on the Turkish people to report unusual price hikes in shops, saying it was the government's responsibility to raid the inventories of stores if necessary.
Following the significant rout on U.S.Treasury bonds last week, the market is in a bit of a limbo as investors seem to be holding off from doing anything until several inflation-relevant data reports are scheduled for release later this week. Snooze time?
Well, you can rely on President Trump to voice his criticism about something or someone. This time it's against the Fed's monetary policy tightening – especially when there is an evident lack of inflationary pressures (Signs are not yet evident that the recent GDP growth figures is putting pressure on prices and wages). Trump reiterated that he would prefer having lower interest rates, although he did acknowledge the Fed was doing what it believes is necessary – which is a thinly veiled compliment. His remarks do not appear to have had any impact on the markets but do create the impression of some political pressure on the Fed to slow policy tightening. Time will tell.

Google: Each of the world's approximately two billion smartphone owners is carrying a camera capable of capturing photos and video of a tonal richness and quality unimaginable even five years ago. Until recently, those cameras behaved mostly as optical sensors, capturing light and operating on the resulting image's pixels. The next generation of cameras, however, will have the capability to blend hardware and computer vision algorithms that operate as well on an image's semantic content, enabling radically new creative mobile photo and video applications. Today, we're launching the first installment of a series of photography appsperiments: usable and useful mobile photography experiences built on experimental technology. Our "appsperimental" approach was inspired in part by Motion Stills, an app developed by researchers at Google that converts short videos into cinemagraphs and time lapses using experimental stabilization and rendering technologies. Our appsperiments replicate this approach by building on other technologies in development at Google. They rely on object recognition, person segmentation, stylization algorithms, efficient image encoding and decoding technologies, and perhaps most importantly, fun!


It's been a while but Walter "Chauskoskis" Jacott is back with a killer new figure! Check out the Quasidunny, a mash-up of Kidrobot's Dunny with Madlib's Quasimoto (aka Lord Quas). Not only that, but Chauskoskis has released the 3" resin figure in both yellow and blue colorways, which pays tribute to Kidrobot's Quasimoto vinyl figure from 2009. And each Quasidunny even includes a brick accessory just like the original KR release. Collectors can purchase this awesome figure now at Jacott's online store for just $50 each. Daring collectors can even purchase a third "mystery" colorway!


The latest flash point between the technology giants is that of cloud storage for consumers, with Google, Apple, and Microsoft all crowding into a space that has long been dominated by the very successful Dropbox.
Given that each service is offering a large block of free storage, usually 5 gigabytes, and paid tiers, competition is certainly leading to consumers making out well; they have multi-billion dollar firms fighting to give them free stuff. This is a struggle that Microsoft appears very concentrated on winning, and to that end is launching overtures directed at Mac users to either persuade them to leave Apple's iCloud behind, or to use it in concert with its SkyDrive product.
The ability to access any file, anywhere. This compares favorably to restrictions inherent in iCloud.
Improved collaboration: iCloud works well with iWork on iOS devices, but less so with Office, which is far more popular. SkyDrive, naturally, works well with Office.
You can share your notes using SkyDrive and OneNote.
Though Microsoft's information is aimed at Mac users, it mirrors the way I use both services: I use iCloud (iTunes Match) for my media collection but SkyDrive for anything productivity related.
It's fascinating to watch companies compete to give away as much of a product as possible. I honestly cannot see these cloud storage products from Google, Apple and Microsoft as being profit sources, so the companies are deliberately running losses to gain market share. Of course, they can afford it, but you might wonder what they are going to do with their slice of the market once they manage to grasp it.

Q: Read Multipolygon geoJson data and display on Leaflet map I would like to read/display geoJson data on a Leaflet map. I have 10 multipolygons stored in the geoJson file and would like to color each in a different color.
Reading the documentation on Leaflet's website, I used the following code to read and color the polygons:
//Adding multipolygons to map
L.geoJSON(dataName, {
    style: function(feature) {
        switch (feature.properties.id) {
            case '100': return {color: "#ff0000"};
            case '200':   return {color: "#0ff000"};
        ...
        case '1000':   return {color: "#0000ff"};
        }
    }
}).addTo(map);

And this is the datafile:
//Data file
var dataName = {"type": "FeatureCollection", "features":[

{ "type":"Feature","id":100,"properties":{"id":"100","count":0},"crs":{"type":"name","properties":{"name":"GEODATA"}},
"geometry":{"type":"MultiPolygon","coordinates":[MANY COORDINATES]
}},
{"type":"Feature","id":200,"properties":{"id":"200","count":0},"crs":{"type":"name","properties":{"name":"GEODATA"}},
"geometry":{"type":"MultiPolygon","coordinates":[MANY COORDINATES]
}},

...

{"type":"Feature","id":1000,"properties":{"id":"1000","count":0},"crs":{"type":"name","properties":{"name":"GEODATA"}},
"geometry":{"type":"MultiPolygon","coordinates":[MANY COORDINATES]
}]}

Nothing is displayed. I think the error lies inside the function. Not really sure what "feature" does. Any clues?
Thx!

A: It looks like you should be using dataName.features?
L.geoJSON(dataName, {
Should be:
L.geoJSON(dataName.features, {
Here is a code snippet from another answer I made:
geojson = L.geoJson(myGeoJson.features, {
    onEachFeature: onEachFeature,
    style: styleFeature,
}).addTo(myLeafletMap);

Have you ever suspected that much of what you do for a living is an extended exercise in missing the point?
I've spent many years challenging claims about the benefits of rewarding or praising children (when they act the way we want) and punishing them (when they don't). An impressive body of research shows that neither carrots nor sticks are actually beneficial, particularly in the long run. In fact, both are likely to do more harm than good. Moreover, there's no evidence to show that the failure to reward kids when they're successful, or to punish them when they misbehave, produces the dire outcomes we're often warned about: laziness, aggression, entitlement, and so on.
But here's the thing: Many people who argue strenuously for dangling rewards in front of children or for threatening them with punishments — and who have harsh words for parents and teachers who deliberately avoid these tactics — are not really making the kind of argument that can be challenged with evidence. Their claims may seem to be descriptive ("Rewards motivate people") or predictive ("If kids aren't punished when they act out, their behavior will get worse"), but when you challenge those claims, they just pivot to a declaration that's purely prescriptive.
Take punishment. When we make children suffer for having acted badly, are we "teaching them a lesson"? Yes. We're teaching them that people with more power can compel someone with less power to do whatever they demand. We're teaching that reasons and motives are irrelevant; only observable behaviors matter. We're teaching that self-interest — the consequence to you, the actor — is the only relevant consideration in deciding how to live your life: Avoid doing stuff that authority figures don't like — that is, if you think you're likely to be caught.
That's not a practical justification; it's a moral imperative. So when I stand there clutching my pile of studies about the destructive effects of punishment, I feel a little like the policeman in Arlo Guthrie's ballad "Alice's Restaurant" — you remember, the one who showed up in court with "twenty-seven eight-by-ten color glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one…to be used as evidence against us" — and then watched, aghast, as the judge walked into the courtroom with a seeing-eye dog.
You can point out that punishment never produces anything beyond temporary (resentful) compliance, and it elicits even that at a huge cost. You can explain that the alternative is active problem solving, not permissiveness; the opposite of "doing to" is "working with," not doing nothing. But you'll be talking to yourself because, for many people, the real point of imposing what's euphemistically called a "consequence" is retribution, a primitive version of justice whose premise is If you do something bad, something bad must be done to you. So you might as well put away all your longitudinal studies proving that punishment just makes things worse.
A group of Canadian and American psychologists recently conducted some research that dealt with . . . . the irrelevance of research. They were interested in the philosopher Karl Popper's distinction between beliefs that are falsifiable (that is, capable of being tested and shown to be incorrect) and those that are unfalsifiable. In the latter case, no matter how much evidence is presented to challenge an assumption, the assumer always find some way to dismiss it so the claim can never be debunked. That's why, during an argument, I often ask — and am prepared to answer — this question: What would have to be true in order for you to change your mind?
In a series of four experiments reported in the March 2015 issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Justin Friesen, Troy Campbell, and Aaron Kay found that a lot of people, upon encountering facts that contradict a political or religious belief they hold, don't "revise [their] belief to be more in line with the new information" but instead flick away the facts by reframing the issue as a moral one. And the more that people's convictions are threatened, the more likely they are to rely on unfalsifiable beliefs.
The available evidence, however, fails to show that overparenting is particularly common, or, when it does occur, that it has the effect of making children less capable or more dependent. Indeed, we now have data to suggest that close contact with (and even intervention by) parents may be positively beneficial for young-adult children in many cases. In my experience, however, this revelation fails to give critics pause. Their outrage, I've come to suspect, may have been more prescriptive than predictive from the beginning: Never mind what the studies find. Parents ought to push kids to become independent as soon as possible. When it comes down to it, these critics are just uncomfortable with, or personally offended by, what they think is excessive parental intervention, and data won't make those feelings go away.
Exactly the same is true of the furious opposition one encounters to those who object to activities like dodge ball (in which children are turned into human targets), awards assemblies (in which kids are pitted against their peers for artificially scarce recognition), or the practice of giving zeroes to students (which pulls down their final grade disproportionately and irreversibly). The same is true when everyone on a playing field is given a "thanks for playing" trophy. Competition must not be diluted! A sharp line must be drawn between winners and losers, and the latter must not receive something that even looks like an award. Why? Because "life" is a series of contests and children had better get used to the misery of losing right now.
Again, I try to marshal the evidence that these premises are mistaken. Competition isn't necessary to promote excellence and often holds people back from doing their best. Exposing children to unpleasant experiences — rubbing their noses in their public failure — is not a constructive way to get them ready for the possibility that they'll encounter more unpleasant experiences when they're older. And there is no evidence whatsoever to suggest that children who receive recognition just for playing, or support just for trying, will develop unrealistic expectations, a sense of entitlement, or a sudden lack of interest in doing well.
And, again, none of these findings seems to matter. "Losers shouldn't get trophies! For Pete's sake, they lost! They're supposed to go home empty-handed!" Empirical findings are beside the point. It took me years to figure out that this isn't about psychology; it's about ideology. Hence the sneering sarcasm about "precious snowflakes" and "tender self-esteem," the white-hot anger over the possibility that kids will get off too easy or feel good about themselves without having earned that right.
The economist Paul Krugman once pointed out that "the great divide in our politics isn't really about pragmatic issues, about which policies work best"; it's about differences in conceptions of morality and justice. So, too, evidently, for disputes involving children.


Nomex clothing is absolutely crucial if you compete in auto racing. Nomex fabric, which both absorbs and wicks moisture away from the body and provides invaluable protection against heat and fire, provides the racer with everything that he or she could want in a fabric. It is lightweight and comfortable, yet durable enough to withstand extreme temperatures. Put simply, Nomex clothing can prevent serious injury or death in the event of an accident.
However, it should be pointed out that Nomex can't provide any benefits if it isn't being worn this is why we offer our K1 Nomex fire socks. To ensure that you are properly prepared in the event of a collision or off-track excursion that results in fire, you must be covered from head to toe. This includes wearing Nomex balaclavas, gloves, shoes, underwear, and of course, an SFI-certified suit. It may seem trivial, but Nomex fire socks can save the vulnerable and sensitive skin and tissue around your ankles from severe damage should a fire break out in your car. Isn't that worth $22?
We think that the decision is an obvious one. If you race sports cars, stock cars, midget cars, drag cars, open-wheel cars, or any other type of car in professional or amateur competition, purchase our Nomex fire socks. For less than the cost of a tank of gas, you can help prevent severe injury to your feet and ankles.
Safety is important to us, and we carry a number of items that can help ensure you stay safe while out on the track. Suffice to say, if you race cars or go-karts, we have your needs met at K1 Race Gear. We carry both karting equipment and racing gear, including SFI-certified auto racing suits, racing gloves and shoes, racing helmets, and neck braces. Order a pair of our K1 Nomex fire socks today simply place this item in your shopping cart for quick and easy checkout or contact K1 Race Gear today. We'd be happy to help!

PHOTOS: The Guy Who Learned About The 'Box of Ballots' Was Hanging Out With Andrew Gillum ON Election Day
2018 Midterms
Patrick Howley
The Broward County teacher who allegedly found a container labelled "Provisional Ballots" after Election Day did not choose to tell the cops or federal law enforcement right away. Rather, she called up Andrew Gillum's friend in the Florida state legislature.
Lakeisha Sorey, the teacher who found the "Provisional Ballots" box, called Andrew Gillum's friend Shevrin Jones for assistance during the emergency. How convenient!
Here is Andrew Gillum praising Shevrin Jones in 2017, at the beginning of Gillum's long-shot bid to become governor.
Here is Gillum with Shevrin Jones literally on Election Day:
Here are Gillum and Jones together in October:
The Hill hilariously observes the teacher situation:
"Teacher Lakeisha Sorey told The Sun-Sentinel she came across the box on Thursday afternoon and said it was located in the same area at Sunshine Elementary School where voting had been held earlier this week.
Sorey said she was concerned the box, which was labeled "provisional ballots," might have contained uncounted ballots and decided not to meddle with it.
"I didn't want to touch it," Sorey told the local paper.
Sorey said she also reportedly contacted her friend, state Rep. Shevrin Jones (D), who the newspaper noted was a close confidant of Tallahassee Mayor and Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum (D), seeking help about the discovery.
Jones told the newspaper he contacted the Broward County Supervisor of Elections Office after learning of the box and said he was told it was likely full of blank ballots.
The Hill passage ends
TROLLED: Pelosi For Prison Banner Flown Over Her San Francisco District
It calls for Pelosi to be locked up for her "crimes against America."
Luke Rohlfing
Liberals in San Francisco were immediately triggered Thursday morning by the sight of an impossible-to-miss 25-foot by 80-foot "Pelosi for Prison" banner flying in the spy upon the left-wing stronghold.
I'm flying a #PelosiForPrison banner around @SpeakerPelosi's district today!
Her lawlessness, ignorance and corruption have gone on for too long!
Sign the petition at https://t.co/tpidJDBtgA to support the movement!
Go to https://t.co/n9dL8joJPS to support MY campaign! pic.twitter.com/QT5pggL8E1
— DeAnna for Congress🇺🇸vs Nancy (@DeAnna4Congress) February 6, 2020
The banner, paid for by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's Republican opponent, DeAnna Lorraine, directs those who see it to a petition, located at PelosiForPrison.co, which calls for Pelosi to be jailed for her "crimes against America." With the banner coming just a day after President Donald Trump's acquittal in the Pelosi-driven impeachment hearings, it is a sign that some conservatives are moving off of the defensive, and instead focusing on offensive attacks against left-wing figures like Pelosi.
Speaking with Big League Politics, Lorraine states that the banner was a part of her plan to expose Pelosi's record while in the Congress, along with her "egregious crimes against America."
"I am running for Congress to clean out the corruption that is Nancy Pelosi. Instead of caring for the people of
San Francisco and advancing their issues on a national scale, she spends her time conducting asinine
impeachments and investigations that amount to absolutely nothing" said DeAnna. "It's past time we start
hitting her hard on her record of poor leadership and egregious crimes against America, and I look very much
forward to retiring her in November."
This banner definitely gets that message across, and surely has Nancy Pelosi shaking with rage.

Australia - Announcement of New Skill List(29/05/2010)
New Skill List Announced
On 17 May 2010, the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Senator Chris Evans, announced the list of occupations included in the new Skilled Occupation List (SOL). The introduction of a new list of occupations is part of a package of reforms that reflects the Government"s commitment to a labour market demand-driven Skilled Migration Program.
The new skill list can be found at: http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/whats-new.htm
The new skilled occupation list will apply to General Skilled Migration applications from 1 July 2010. The exception to this is GSM applicants who at 8 February 2010 come under the following transitional arrangements:
If you held a subclass 485 (skilled graduate) visa or had a pending subclass 485 visa application and you apply for a permanent or provisional onshore GSM visa by 31 December 2012.
On the date of the announcement you had a pending GSM visa application.
If you are an international student who on 8 February 2010 held a subclass 572 (vocational education and training sector) or subclass 573 (higher education sector) or subclass 574 (postgraduate research sector) student visa you will not come under the new skilled occupation list. If you are a student in this situation you can apply for a subclass 485 (skilled graduate) visa using the current SOL as long as you lodge your subclass 485 application by 31 December 2012.
State Migration Plan - Australian Capital Territor(08/11/2010)
State Migration Plan - Australian Capital Territory
The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) has finalised its State Migration Plan (SMP). The SMP outlines the skilled occupations that the ACT will sponsor on a permanent residency (176) visa.
As ACT sponsorship operates on a quota system, it is crucial that applications are made as soon as possible. Contact us to see if you are eligible and check the list.
Australia – New Points Test – Skilled Migration(02/02/2011)
New migration points test to better address Australia"s skills needs. The Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Chris Bowen MP, announced on 11/11/2010 a new points test to assess independent skilled migrants as part of the Gillard Government's ongoing commitment to reforming the skilled migration program to deliver the skills Australia needs.
Mr Bowen said the new points test will emphasise the importance of English, work experience and high level qualifications, and is designed to ensure no one factor guarantees migration.
'These changes to the points test are an important next step in the series of reforms to the skilled migration program announced by the Government in February 2010.
The new points test will ensure that the best and brightest people from a large pool of potential migrants are selected.'
The new test will also continue to recognise the additional value that Australian education offers.
The new points test will complement the new skilled occupation list, which came into effect on 1 July 2010, to deliver migrants with a mix of the skills and attributes needed to contribute productively in Australia.
It is important to note that the points test only applies to one component of the skilled migration program. Employer-sponsored visa categories are not affected by changes to the points test.
The new points test is proposed to take effect from 1 July 2011, subject to the commencement of supporting legislation. It will apply to anyone lodging an application from 1 July 2011.

These measures include:
· Reducing the student visa assessment levels from April 2011 as indicated in the recent assessment level review conducted by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC). As part of this decision, the higher education visa assessment levels for applicants from China and India will also be reduced.
· Refining the rules to further enable pre-paid boarding fees to be counted toward students" cost of living requirements in their visa application.
· Improved information exchange between the government and the international education sector, including provision of a quarterly statistical publication on the student visa program that will soon be available from the DIAC website to allow the sector to track emerging student visa trends.
· Enabling assessment level 4 vocational education and training (VET) students to undertake a package of certificate level courses to meet visa requirements.

AUSTRALIA New Priority processing arrangements (14/07/2012)
July 10, 2012. New Priority processing for Australia skilled migration visas:
New priority processing arrangements for certain skilled migration visas, including new skilled visa subclasses introduced in the skilled migration reforms, have recently been set by the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship Chris Bowen MP.
From July 1, 2012, processing priorities (with highest priority listed first) are applications from people who:The priority processing arrangements allow the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) to consider and finalise visa applications in an order of priority that the minister considers appropriate. The new arrangements apply to visa applications for the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS), Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) and certain points basedskilled migration.
are sponsored under the RSMS program
are sponsored under the ENS program
are nominated by a state or territory government agency
have nominated an occupation on the Skilled Occupation List – Schedule 1 effective form July 1, 2012
all other applications
Regional employer sponsored visas continue to be given the highest processing priority. Applications for visa subclasses 186, 187, 188, 189, 190, or 489 which are lodged through SkillSelect will be given the highest priority within each priority processing group.
According to the DIAC, the new arrangements are aimed at solving the needs of industry by targeting skills in demand across a number of sectors, while ensuring that the Skilled Migration Program is responsive to the current economic climate and the needs of the Australian economy. These arrangements do not change visa eligibility criteria.
The new priority processing arrangements apply to current applications, including those in the final stages of processing.

11 Great Teams That Failed To Win The FIFA World Cup
Footballorbit November 30, 2022 3:43 pm 0 269
The Brazil squad at the 1982 World Cup is regarded by many as the greatest team that failed to win the FIFA World Cup.
In football, winning the FIFA World Cup is seen as the ultimate achievement for any country or player. However, as it's often the case with the round-leather game; the best team doesn't always win.
Going through the World Cup history, there are several great sides who fell just short of winning the global mundial due to various reasons.
In this article, FootballOrbit presents you with a list of the 11 greatest teams that failed to win the World Cup.
Netherlands (1974 & 1978)
Italy (1990)
Austria's "Wunderteam" were widely tipped to win the 1934 FIFA World Cup after going 16 matches unbeaten in the build-up to the competition.
Wins over France and Hungary saw them face hosts, Italy, in the semi-final. But they lost 1-0 due to a suspicious refereeing decision.
Furthermore, the same referee went on to make more errors in the final, leading to speculations that Italian President, Benito Mussolini, influenced the outcome of the tournament.
Brazil hosted the World Cup in 1950 and their fans had high expectations of victory.
The Brazilian team — featuring the likes of Ademir, Jair and Zizinho — ran rings around their opponents.
The 1950 World Cup didn't have an actual "final". A group stage format was used and the winners of this group would become world champions.
Brazil had smashed Sweden 7-1 and Spain 6-1 on their way to the last match and only needed a draw vs Uruguay to win the title.
The last game was played at a packed Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. Everything was going to plan as Friaca put Brazil ahead.
But Brazil's inability to defend saw Uruguay win 2-1 courtesy of strikes from Juan Schiaffino and Alcides Ghiggia.
3 Football Legends Who Won The FIFA World Cup As A Player And As A Manager
Uruguay secured an unlikely victory that became one of the greatest upsets in FIFA World Cup history.
The match was named "Maracanazo" as Brazil failed to win the FIFA World Cup in its first attempt.
Perhaps the greatest team that failed to win the World Cup; the Hungarian side of the 1950s were the best national team in the world then.
The Golden Generation team — known as the ''Magical Magyars" — boasted the likes of Ferenc Puskas, Nandor Hidegkuti, Sandor Kocsis, Zoltan Czibor and Jozsef Bozsik
They bamboozled opponents with their fluid movement and passing football.
Hungary went on a four-year 36-match unbeaten run between 1950 and 1954. In between, they won gold at the 1952 Olympics.
They were expected to win the 1954 World Cup, and started the tournament in huge fashion — crushing South Korea 9-0 and West Germany 8-3 in the group stage.
Brazil were eliminated 4-2 in the quarter-final. In the semi-final against defending champions Uruguay, the Hungarians also romped to a 4-2 victory.
The final against West Germany was expected to be a walk over for Hungary as they had already scored 25 goals in the tournament!
In the final, Hungary deservedly took a 2-0 lead and looked set to win their first ever World Cup.
However, West Germany fought back and won 3-2 in a game that would be dubbed "The Miracle of Bern".
The Hungarian national team has never been the same since.
🤯 Hungary's record 4-year, 31-match unbeaten run famously came to an end in the 1954 #WorldCup final 💔
🤔 But did you know that it started #OnThisDay in 1950? 📅
🇭🇺 This is the story of how the Magyars' magic began 🪄

The French team at the 1958 World Cup became famous for Just Fontaine — who 13 goals in the tournament!!!
France also had a very brilliant playmaker in Raymond Kopa — who had been named Young Player of the Tournament four years earlier.
After thrashing Paraguay and Northern Ireland, France faced Brazil (led by Pele) in the semi-final.
But Brazil run riot with a 5-2 victory that included a hat-trick from Pele.
France eventually settled for 3rd place after beating West Germany 6-3 in the play-off.
Raymond Kopa was named as the Best Player of the Tournament.
The 1966 World Cup Portugal team heavily comprised of Benfica players.
Benfica was one of the greatest club sides of that era, winning the European Cup (now UEFA Champions League) consecutively in 1961 and 1962
Furthermore, the team was built around Eusebio — the world's finest striker then. He eventually emerged as the tournament's top goalscorer with 9 goals.
In the group stages, Portugal beat a Brazil team containing Pele 3-1, and famously came from 3 goals down to beat North Korea 5-3.
But they surprisingly got eliminated by hosts, England, in the semi-final after a 2-1 defeat.
🗓 #OnThisDay in #WorldCup history…@SirBobby Charlton scored two goals and Eusébio one as England beat Portugal 2-1 @wembleystadium in the semi-final of the 1966 FIFA World Cup. pic.twitter.com/dp2tUL01Ob
The great Eusebio never played in a World Cup final. It took another 20 years for Portugal to qualify for another FIFA World Cup.
Poland was the best team at the 1974 World Cup. They beat Brazil, Argentina, Italy, Sweden, Yugoslavia and Haiti but didn't even reach the final!!
Inspired by captain Kazik Deyna and eventual Golden Boot winner Grzegorz Lato; Poland won 6 matches, scored 16 goals and conceded just 5.
They won their opening round group with maximum points ahead of Argentina, Italy and Haiti.
Poland continued their impressive form into the second group stage, from which the group winner would go straight to the World Cup final.
Victories over Sweden and Yugoslavia meant that Poland sat level with hosts, West Germany, with the decisive game to play.
In the decisive match, Gerd Muller scored a late goal for West Germany to break Polish hearts.
Poland still managed 3rd place after defeating Brazil. The team returned home as heroes after exceeding expectations.
Netherlands are famous for being "nearly men" in football. They have reached 3 FIFA World Cup finals — losing all!!!
Their Golden Generation team reached successive finals in 1974 and 1978.
Led by Johan Cruyff, the Dutch wowed the world with their "Total Football" style of play. The pattern is about passing the ball tiki-taka and interchanging positions.
In 1974, they breezed through to the final — thrashing Argentina 4-0 and defending champions Brazil 2-0 along the way.
Netherlands were up against West Germany in the final.
A Johan Neeskens penalty in the 2nd minute gave them the lead — before the Germans had even touched the ball!
⏱ The fastest goal ever scored in a World Cup final 💨
🇳🇱 Johan Neeskens fired the Netherlands ahead two minutes into the 1974 decider… without a single West Germany player having touched the ball 🤯

But Netherlands somehow lost 2-1 to West Germany.
In 1978, the same squad returned; ready for revenge and reached the final again.
This time against hosts, Argentina. The final match went into extra-time before Argentina eventually won 3-1.
It was a sad end for that great Dutch team, who had impressed fans with their beautiful brand of football.
No nation is more synonymous with the FIFA World Cup than Brazil. The Seleção have won the tournament a record five times and have produced some of its greatest players.
Many still believe that the Brazil squad at the 1982 World Cup was the best Brazilian team of all time.
It's very difficult to disagree. Yet, the squad did not win the World Cup; they didn't even reach the semifinal.
Brazil waltzed through the first group phase of the 1982 tournament in Spain, topping their table with maximum points and 10 goals scored.
Furthermore, they thumped rivals Argentina 3-1 in their opening fixture of the second group stage.
However, their defensive deficiencies were exposed in their quarterfinal match against Italy.
Paolo Rossi — without a single goal at the tournament before the match — bagged an hat-trick that ended the Brazilian dream in a 3-2 win for Italy.
Italy went on to win the tournament, with Rossi emerging as top scorer.
Before France had Zinedine Zidane as their superstar, there was a certain Michel Platini.
The French national team of the 1980s was exceptional. It had the likes of Platini, Tigana, Fernandez and Giresse.
Furthermore, they played open attacking football that overwhelmed their opponents.
At the 1986 FIFA World Cup, France were set up to continue from where they had left off in 1984 when they clinched the European Championships
They advanced from their group after 1-0 wins over Hungary and Canada and a 1-1 draw with the Soviet Union.
They knocked out defending champions Italy in the second round with a 2-0 win. In the quarterfinal, France knocked out Brazil on penalties in a pulsating match.
They were highly tipped to beat West Germany in the semi-finals to reach their first ever World Cup final.
However, they lost 2-0 to West Germany and had to be content with third place after beating Belgium.
Italy desperately wanted to win the FIFA World Cup on home soil in 1990.
With Serie A the dominant force in European football, the Azzurri team was packed with talent in the likes of Paolo Maldini, Franco Baresi, Roberto Baggio and Salvatore Schillaci — who won the Golden Boot with 6 goals.
The Italians did what they do best by defending resolutely throughout the tournament.
Four 1-0 wins and a 2-0 win over Urugauay saw them reached the semi-final to face Diego Maradona's Argentina.
The Italians took the lead but Argentina equalised and eventually triumphed on penalties.
Belgium's current Golden Generation of players will be remembered as one of the greatest teams that failed to win the FIFA World Cup.
Heading into the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Belgium led the FIFA world rankings as the No. 1 team in the world.
At the tournament, they proved superior to their opponents in the group stage.
Furthermore, the Red Devils showed mettle to come from 2-0 down to beat Japan 3-2 in the last 16.
They eliminated Brazil in the quarter-finals, and were poised to win the World Cup for the first time ever.
However, they suffered a humbling 1-0 defeat to eventual champions, France, in the semi-final.

© 2023 The Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast
A group of trained philosophers explore the philosophical dimensions of contemporary politics, and make the case for progressive politics.
93 - Against Success Culture Pt. 1: What is Success and Is It Good to be Successful?
In this episode, we discuss "success culture". What is success and is it a worthy goal? Or does it monopolize our lives in unhealthy ways?Toby Napoletano, Hanna Gunn
92 - Is AI Replacing Artists?
In this episode, we discuss the complaints of artists that machine learning programs are using the works of human artists to mass produce similar kinds of art, and replacing the need for human artists. Can and does AI art have the same aesthetic value as human art? And if the complaints of the artists are justified, on what grounds?Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes
91 - The Supreme Court Overturns Roe vs Wade (pt.2)
In this episode, we dig into the Supreme Court's recent decision to overturn Roe v Wade, thereby eliminating a constitutional right to an abortion. There are two main questions at issue: Was the reasoning in Roe sound? And then, separately, should it be overturned? We go over the arguments of the majority and concurring opinions, and also the criticisms of the dissent.Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes
89 - Uh Oh, Have the Chat Bots Gone Sentient??
In today's episode, we discuss whether Google's "Lambda" chat bot is sentient. If not, is it intelligent? Does it have moral standing? What do these terms even mean?Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes
88 - Should We Get Rid of Applications? Pt. 2
In this episode, we continue discussing Adam Mastroianni's "Against All Applications" (https://experimentalhistory.substack.com/p/against-all-applications?s=r). What is wrong with the application process, both for hiring and for education, and what are the alternatives?Toby Napoletano. Michael Hughes

86 - Machine Learning and Ethics: The Toronto Declaration Pt. 2
In this episode, we continue to discuss some of the ethical problems surrounding machine learning technologies, and particular concerns about their discriminatory uses. We use the Toronto Declaration, which applies a human rights framework to machine learning as our starting point. Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes

84 - Is Doping Wrong?
In this episode, we consider whether, and why, it is wrong to use various performance enhancing drugs in sports. Should they be allowed? How and where do we draw the line? And what even is fairness in the context of sports?Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes
83 - Are We Living In A Failed Simulation?
On today's episode, we consider whether, given the depressing state of the world, we are actually just living in a failed simulation. Is there reason to think we are living in a simulation? And should we have hope that things will improve, or would it be better to simply accept our failure?Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes
82 - Pope Says It's Selfish to Have Pets Instead of Kids
Pope Francis recently declared that couples who choose to have pets over kids are exhibiting a "form of selfishness" which "diminishes us and takes away our humanity." In 2014 Francis claimed that having pets instead of children was "another phenomenon of cultural degradation"In this episode, we defend ourselves as childless cat-owners against this brutal personal attack.Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes
81 - Do Ecosystems Have Intrinsic Value? Pt. 2
In this episode, we discussed Aldo Leopold's "Land Ethic", the idea that ecosystems--including the water, the soil, the rocks, the plants, animals, etc.--have intrinsic value. The idea sounds quite radical against a backdrop of standard moral theories, but whether the view is true or not, there might be lots of good reasons to adopt it.Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes, Hanna Gunn
79 - Can You Be Anti-Abortion Without Being A Socialist Vegan? (Part 2)
In this episode, we dive into the ethics of abortion. In particular, we ask: what positions on personhood, harm, and sacrifice does one have to hold in order to be anti-abortion WITHOUT also being committed to the moral (or legal) requirement of veganism or the mass redistribution of wealth. Turns out it's not so easy a question to answer.Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes
77 - Texas' Anti-Abortion Law
In today's episode, we discuss the recent anti-abortion law passed in the state of Texas, which effectively tries to eliminate most abortions that occur after six weeks of pregnancy. The law is a blatant attempt to get around Roe vs. Wade, and creates a dangerous precedent wherein states can, at least temporarily, pass laws which violate constitutional rights.Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes
76 - The Conservative Mind and the Liberal Mind pt. 2
In this episode, we continue our discussion of conservative and liberal psychology. Is one cognitive style more rational than the other? How does philosophical conservatism fit in? And what, if anything, does this research suggest about how to do politics better?Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes
75 - The Conservative Mind and the Liberal Mind
In today's episode, we begin discussing the psychological and cognitive research on the differences between the brains, minds, and personalities of liberals and conservatives. Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes
74 - Michael Sandel's The Tyranny of Merit pt. 2
On today's episode, we continue our discussion on meritocracy and Michael Sandel's recent book The Tyranny of Merit, which argues that meritocracy is "a hollow political project that reflects an impoverished conception of citizenship and freedom...". Meritocracy poisons our civic culture by dividing society into winners and losers, and breeds hubris and resentment which undermines the civic good.Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes

Suspect sought in Anderson Road shooting incident
TENA LEE tlee@mainstreetmediatn.com
Anderson Road-area residents are told to be on the look-out for an armed white male driving a small white pick-up truck after a woman says the man shot her dogs and tried to get into her home earlier today.
The Sumner County Sheriff's Department issued a Code Red alert for the area on Tuesday after a woman who lives in the 1600 block of Anderson Road called police about an incident that occurred at around 10:20 a.m.
The woman, who posted about the incident on Facebook, said that the man emptied a handgun on her dogs and then came to her door with a shotgun and tried to get in her home.
"I hid under my porch," she wrote. "He fled before the police got here. I do believe he was going to shoot me as well."
The woman said it was the second time the man has pointed a gun at her and her dogs.
She described an older white male who is balding, tall and thin. She says that he drives an extended-cab, older white truck.
Sumner County Sheriff Sonny Weatherford confirmed that his department is currently looking for a white male driving a small white extended cab pick-up in relation to the incident on Anderson Road. The subject is armed with a handgun and shotgun, according to the sheriff's office.
Anyone seeing the man is asked to notify the sheriff's department at 615-451-3838 and to not approach him.

The conservation of natural resources normally becomes necessary as the population grows, for the danger of running out of raw materials grows at the same time. Wherever people are scarce and raw resources are plentiful -- as in pioneering days -- the people will naturally save their own labor as much as they can at the expense of a lavish use of the local raw materials. As the population increases and raw materials begin to grow scarce, the people finally will have to pay a high price for the preservation and increase of these valuable materials.
During the transition from the pioneer stage to the crowded stage, the more prudent citizens will begin to call for more economical management of resources and the less prudent will resist, not wanting to pay the price for something that does not seem to them to be necessary. This difference in viewpoint necessarily leads to controversy. The details are not so simple….
A second reason for the necessity of conservation is the development of technology that increases the demand for raw materials. In the United States the strain on natural resources has come not only from the growth of population but also from the rise of the standard of living. A century ago railroads and factories were demanding more and more coal and iron. Today radios, automobiles, plastics, and other new products call for raw materials that our ancestors never knew about. High-speed tools and jet engines require alloys of rare metals, many of them coming from far parts of the world which may not always be open to our buyers. We depend on resources of more and more kinds and in greater quantities per person. It is easy to say that science will find substitutes for anything that becomes scarce. But the trend has been for science to require more different raw materials rather than fewer.
Technology not only makes conservation more necessary, it also tends to make it seem less necessary to many of the voters. Much of our ingenuity is devoted to inventing methods for getting raw materials faster. Where our ancestors used pick and shovel and one-horse plows, we use bulldozers and gang plows drawn by tractors that eat petroleum instead of hay. We have invented techniques for smelting low-grade ores, so that we can use up deposits of metals that were safe from the crude mining efforts of our ancestors. We can squeeze the orange harder and get more juice more quickly. The effect of these new ways of getting the last drop is temporarily to make the resource plentiful, often also reducing the cost and increasing the profits of the producers. But the end will come sooner too. Every advance that lets us mine a leaner copper ore or sink the oil wells to a deeper level uses up some reserve that otherwise would have been left for Americans of the twenty-first century to discover. In the meantime both producers and consumers are tempted to take for granted that the engineers can go on finding new techniques and opening up new resources forever.
During the period when resources are only beginning to be scarce a business system like our does not lend itself readily to the prudent use of resources, mainly because of the behavior of prices.
The usual trouble with prices during the wasteful period is that they are too low to pay the private operator for conservation. Lumber prices will pay for the cost of cutting, manufacture, and distribution with a good profit as long as the companies can get virgin timber from the government at a nominal cost, but the price may not cover the cost of protecting and restoring the forest. The farmer can grow wheat or cotton on virgin soil and make a living, with no surplus, however, to invest in terracing and grass or tree planting. The zinc miner can afford to carry on even when prices are low provided he can "pick the eyes of the mine," taking only the richest ore and leaving the rest perhaps to be flooded and abandoned as hopelessly unprofitable.


If you're pursuing a global B2B strategy, the best marketing value is in a strong social media campaign that utilizes relevant hashtags and keywords so that followers of those get notified of your posts too.
It's tempting to use vanity and cute hashtags in your social media posts, however best results will come from using the most popular or most common tags. Unless you have a convention or event, stick to the tags used and followed by the most people.
Using LinkedIn Inmail? What's the next step after reading your Inmail…(hint) it's not placing the order or making the appointment. The next step is to check you out. What do they see and then will they remember your ask?
When posting a link to an interesting article on social media, be sure and post a brief description of that piece in addition to the headline to help get the reader motivated to click the link.
Number of clicks often doesn't often matter when it comes to B2B search advertising because for most, traffic is low. It's more meaningful to measure results based on action such as receiving a call or visit to a specific landing page.
