The next round of catechists' formation starts this coming February and is designed for the formation of the catechists of our diocese. The course is aimed at forming new catechists as well as supporting and refreshing existing and "well-seasoned" catechists. This next series is to be hosted at St Patrick's parish hall, Brockworth.
The course will run on a Wednesday evening, once a month through to March 2019. Starting Wednesday 28 February, the course includes the diocesan gathering on Saturday 30 June 2018. There are some engaging and stimulating facilitators for each session. The session on 28 February is designed to set the scene for the monthly sessions that follow. There's plenty of parking at St Patrick's, sessions start at 7.30pm with refreshments from 7pm.
Further information can be found on the Catechists' Course booklet link below. Those wishing to take part in the series will need to send their registration details to Alexander House, 160 Pennywell Road, Bristol, BS5 0TX by the end of February. There is a minimal cost to the course of £50 which may be subsidised by your parish. Cheques are to made payable to Clifton Diocese. The details are on the booking form.
This Year of Mission invites us to consider ways we build up God's kingdom and the way we draw others into friendship with Christ. As we are encouraged to deepen the faith handed on to us and the faith we profess, the hope is that this series will only encourage and enthuse those who take part in it to be confident in the faith they seek to hand on to others. This course may be for you or it may be for someone you know… it would be good to see you there!

Mt. Woods Cemetery, also known as Mt. Wood Cemetery, Hebrew and Jewish Orthodox Cemetery and Eoff Street Temple Cemetery, is a historic rural cemetery located at Wheeling, Ohio County, West Virginia. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.

History
A small one-acre cemetery was established on the hill overlooking North Wheeling (once called "Wheeling Hill") by the Woods family in 1831. According to local legend, Ebenezer Zane paused on the hill and declared the area he saw the "land of promise" for which he had been looking. Pioneer Robert T. Woods (1754–1831) (who had settled in the area with his brothers Archibald and Andrew) was the first interment. Within two decades Wheeling's other cemetery, the Hempfield cemetery (dedicated in 1816) was nearly full and in the path chosen by the Hempfield Railroad (chartered in 1850 and which by 1857 connected Wheeling and Washington, Pennsylvania on the other side of the Ohio River).

Thus prominent Wheeling citizens organized a cemetery company and developed this location. Originally situated on approximately 20 acres, above "Jonathan's Ravine" with scenic views of the Ohio River, Wheeling Creek and Wheeling Island. Its landscape was originally designed by Robert C. Woods (surveyor and son of Robert T. Woods), with individual plots laid out according to the landscape's contours. The cemetery became popular in the Victorian era for its views, as well as the preferred place of interment for a number of prominent citizens of Wheeling and surrounding Ohio County. The prime hilltop Section A contains obelisks commemorating Alfred Caldwell (1817–18968), Edward M. Norton, William P. Wilson, and the Luke family.

The cemetery also contains the graves of Congressman Thomas O. Edwards (1810–1956), Joseph Thoburn (1825–1864) and Daniel E. Frost (1819–1864), prominent in the West Virginia statehood movement and who died fighting for the Union in the American Civil War. Other historic burials include Dr. Simon Hullihen (1810–1857), perhaps the first oralmaxilliary surgeon in the U.S., and Dr. Eliza Hughes (West Virginia's first female doctor and the sister of Confederate sympathizer and Ohio County's Virginia Civil War state delegate Dr. Alfred Hughes).

The earliest gravestone contains an 1817 date. In addition to remains reinterred from the Hempfield cemetery, remains were relocated from the Chapline and East Wheeling cemeteries when those were closed by the late 1800s, although some plots lower down the hill laid out in this period were never sold and that area became wooded. The Jewish cemetery was established beginning in 1849, following the unexpected death of itinerant rabbi Mayer Mannheim, and being on a steep slope, had persistent issues which required retaining wall construction; its first plots were laid in 1865 and burials continued well into the 20th century. In 1866, Greenwood cemetery was established east of the city, which decreased funeral use of this cemetery, although it remained an important regional park. In 1933 as the Great Depression began, paths were improved and 100 oak trees planted. Mt. Woods cemetery shrank somewhat over time, as interments became less frequent. The original remains from the two List family mausoleums were later reinterred at Greenwood Cemetery. Many trees predate the 1930s, with shrubbery surrounding individual graves removed more recently for easier maintenance. After major vandalism in 1974, the cemetery company relinquished its responsibilities to the City of Wheeling in 1977. It now includes 11.5 acres in the Mt. Woods cemetery and 0.99 acres in the Jewish section (still owned and maintained by Temple Shalom).

Architecture

Significant tombs, gravestones and buildings exemplify antebellum, Victorian-era, and early to mid-20th-century funerary art.  Notable structures include the entrance gate (1920s), the Rosenberg Arch (1886) and ten family mausoleums, including the Forbes mausoleum (1889), Scott mausoleum (), Cotts mausoleum (1863), Pracht mausoleum (1893), and Captain John List mausoleum ().

Action-Packed Overloaded: Scott Stanley at the Gallery at Library Square

Reception: Jan. 14, 4-5:30 pm
Gallery at Library Square

"Hey there!" "Wassup?" "What's new?" A greeting of discovery to all, and a friendly curiousinquiry into what are the bodacious happenings in your life. Each of these figure drawings is a one-of-a-kind collection. They all have their peculiar response to what may be going on in their particular action-packed piece of the universe. There is a lot of
ruckus to deal with, and the frequent commotion overloads even the strongest being. Each of these figures is constructed with various appendages, and accessories. Every portion is important for accomplishing goals, overcoming obstacles, pushing beyond the mundane, and some things are just for good ol' messing around fun.
Each of us has a personality and a unique character. We all walk past each other daily, and our circumstances vary in every wobbly direction. Our days are action-packed with the fuss of everyday competition, the humdrum to-do lists, and uncontrollable distress. The years, the
months, and the hours are battled to the death, and with each skirmish, victory, or loss, we gain experience. Our character develops new parts, new tools, and our spirits become resiliently gutsy. When life overwhelms us and shows all its suckiness, and unfairness, we can show up fully equipped with the knowledge and know-how to go and kick life in its big fat hairy butt!
Hey there, my name is Scott Stanley. First, I'd like to say thanks for checking out my art and taking a sec to read a little bit about me. I am an artist, and I love drawing in my sketchbook. I loved drawing in lined notebooks as a kid at Crescent Elementary School in Sandy, Utah, and I loved scribbling in the margins of my notes, during class, while earning a BFA at the University of Utah. If you work with me presently, sometimes I'll draw a picture of you while in a meeting. A sketchbook is full of discovery, and curiosity. It's a place where you can scribble out ideas, and visually record memories. You can save pieces of time, and embellish and distort every blank paper into its own single-page universe. I feel like my favorite artwork is always in my
sketchbook, and so for the "Action-Packed Overloaded" body of work, I wanted to unbind the drawings in my sketchbook. These drawings are a wizard's potion, filled with all sorts of markings made by Acrylic and Watercolor Paint, Pen, Marker, Highlighters, Sumi ink, India ink,
Metallic and Fluorescent Paint, and pencils. You can find me scribbling, painting murals, illustrating products, and designing websites from the basement of my home in Bluffdale, Utah,
and occasionally while visiting Hakodate, Japan. When not drawing, I like to enjoy a delicious meal with my wife, or watch cartoons and goof off with my four kids.

Astronomy Now Gravity waves marked birth of merged hypermassive neutron star
A graph showing LIGO gravitational wave data plotting frequency against time. The merger of two neutron stars, detected 17 August 2017, can be seen in data points forming an ascending curve. After the merger, the frequency declined, indicating a merged body with a decreasing spin rate. Image: LIGO/M.H.P.M van Putten & M. Della Valle/Astronomy Now
For the first time, astronomers have detected gravitational waves from a merged, hyper-massive neutron star. The scientists, Maurice van Putten of Sejong University in South Korea, and Massimo della Valle of the Osservatorio Astronomico de Capodimonte in Italy, publish their results in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters.
Gravitational waves were predicted by Albert Einstein in his General Theory of Relativity in 1915. The waves are disturbances in space-time generated by rapidly moving masses, which propagate out from the source. By the time the waves reach Earth, they are incredibly weak and their detection requires extremely sensitive equipment. It took scientists until 2016 to announce the first observation of gravitational waves using the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) detector.
Since that seminal result, gravitational waves have been detected on a further six occasions. One of these, GW170817, resulted from the merger of two stellar remnants known as neutron stars. These objects form after stars much more massive than the Sun explode as supernovae, leaving behind a core of material packed to extraordinary densities.
At the same time as the burst of gravitational waves from the merger, observatories detected emission in gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet, visible light, infrared and radio waves — an unprecedented observing campaign that confirmed the location and nature of the source.
Editor's Note: The above video was produced by NASA last year to illustrate the neutron star merger.
The initial observations of GW170817 suggested that the two neutron stars merged into a black hole, an object with a gravitational field so powerful that not even light can travel quickly enough to escape its grasp. Van Putten and della Valle set out to check this, using a novel technique to analyse the data from LIGO and the Virgo gravitational wave detector sited in Italy.
Their detailed analysis shows the H1 and L1 detectors in LIGO, which are separated by more than 3,000 kilometres, simultaneously picked up a descending 'chirp' lasting around 5 seconds. Significantly, this chirp started between the end of the initial burst of gravitational waves and a subsequent burst of gamma rays. Its low frequency (less than 1 KHz, reducing to 49 Hz) suggests the merged object spun down to instead become a larger neutron star, rather than a black hole.
There are other objects like this, with their total mass matching known neutron star binary pairs. But van Putten and della Valle have now confirmed their origin.
Van Putten comments: "We're still very much in the pioneering era of gravitational wave astronomy. So it pays to look at data in detail. For us this really paid off, and we've been able to confirm that two neutron stars merged to form a larger one."
Gravitational wave astronomy, and eking out the data from every detection, will take another step forward next year when the Japanese Kamioka Gravitational Wave Detector (KAGRA) comes online.

Q: "Target SDK" and "compile with" option missing from the "New Project" dialog box in android studio I downloaded the newest version of a AS from developer.android.com. Here is the version information:
Beta 0.8.14 Build AI-135-1528390 Built on October 23, 2014
I am watching android app development training videos in which they are also using the current version of AS.  When they click on File > New Project, they are getting a different dialog box than the one that I am presented with.  The one they are getting is similar to the eclipse new android project dialog boxes.  The dialog box that I am getting is missing several options such as the "target sdk" or the "compile with" options, instead it only gives me the "minimum sdk" option.  Why is this the case?
Thanks.
I am getting this dialog box:

The dialog box that the instructor is getting:

A: The dialog box which you see in your installation was introduced in the Android Studio 0.6.1 and it wasn't changed a lot since then. The new project dialog which you see in your videos is from the version older than 0.6.1.
By the way, the newest version of Android Studio is 0.9.3 which can be obtained through the canary channel.

Mendoza City, Argentina
Argentina Travel Guide : : Places to Visit : : Key Cities : : Mendoza
Mendoza has a lot to offer its visitors, from the liveliness of the city centre to the endless opportnities available in the surrounding areas, you are sure to enjoy the laid back and very unique mendocino way of life.
The city was completely devastated in the immense 1861 earthquake when one third of the city's population were killed and practically all the buildings were destroyed. For this reason what you will find today is a very different kind of city, in which the remnants of a colonial past have been replaced by low, earthquake-proof buildings and wide streets and plazas. Within its 58 sq km, Mendoza holds many treasures and a lot of life owing to the several universities and thriving student population who live there... you can't fail to have a good time!
Sights in Mendoza City
One of the most pleasant things to do in Mendoza is wander around the pretty squares and park and soak up the atmosphere. The heart of the city is the Plaza Independencia where a lot of the daily action takes place. The Plaza de España is especially pretty with its shady trees to sit under, Spanish tiled benches and monument to the Spanish discovery of Latin America in the centre. The other main aquares which are all dotted around the centre are the Plaza de Chile, Plaza de Italia, Plaza de Pellegrini and the Plaza San Martín. This final one pays homage to Argentine hero, José de San Martín (see the Argentina History section) who resided in Mendoza with his family. Today his name can be found all over the city on everything from monuments to restaurants. The park named after the same chap (Parque San Martín) is also one of the nicest places to relax in the city after you've passed through the very grand and ornamented gated entrance. Paseo de las Alamedas is a good example of one of Mendoza's wide avenues and it is decorated with lovely fountains and lots of greenery.
As no architecture remains from before 1861, you have to use your imagination abit, however, Mendoza is well stocked on Museums which can fill you in on the history of the city. The Museo Histórico General San Martín pays homage to San Martín and the Museo del Pasado Cuyano contains interesting artefacts about the history of the city. The Museo Municipal de Arte Moderno puts on interesting exhibitions by regional and national artists which change every month or so. The Iglesia, Convento and Basílica de San Francisco contain the 'miracle' of Mendoza - the image of the Virgin of Cuyo, which survived through earthquakes which have devastated buildings.
The obvious thing to associate with Mendoza is wine and this is certainly understandable when you have your first sip of a mendocino Malbec. There are tons of little bodegas close to the city and you can explore them over one or two days, or for hardcore win-o's you can extend your trip to last a week or two. The bodegas are very picturesque and set in the Andes, a tour normally consists of learning how the wine is produced and then a well deserved tasting sesh to finish up. Malbec, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are just a few of the wines to come out of Mendoza. But the possibilities don't end there - you can even visit a Cava winery at Bodega Tapiz. 16km from Mendoza city is the Bodega la Rural (Maipú) which has a unique Museo del Vino. In addition to the standard type of tour, this museum allows you to see all the wine cultivation and fermentation processes and machinery right up to the twentyfirst century modern day equipment which produces 6000 bottles every hour.
Around Mendoza you can visit the highest peak in the Americas, Anconcagua - whilst it is only climbable by experienced hikers you can still get some impressive views from the surrounding areas. Some of the world's best white water rafting can be enjoyed along the rivers Mendoza and Tunuyán and a whole host of other sports like trekking and mountain biking are perfect in the mountains or skiing and snowboarding in the snow-capped peaks at nearby Las Leñas. For more information check out our run-down on West Argentina.
Entertainment in Mendoza
Eating is a divine pleasure in Mendoza. The culmination of great food and exquisite wine makes every meal memorable. There are plenty of small, traditional Argentine Parrilla type grills and also a whole host of sophisticated places to dine, where food doesn't come cheap but it's guaranteed to be a meal you won't forget in a long time. The swankiest place to churn out the most delicious gastro delights is Francis Mallmann 1884 (Belgrano 1188).
Mendoza is home to three theatres which put on different works round the year. There is also a lively music scene - the most famous place to catch some is the Soul Café (San Juan 456), however it is common to stumble upon little concerts in the local bars so keep your eyes and ears peeled as you explore the city.
There are bars and clubs aplenty in Mendoza, mainly filled with members of the young student population who are a laid back lot that know how to party. The areas of Chacras de Coria and El Challao are especially popular and so rammed full of bars and clubs it won't take you long to find somewhere you fancy going for a drink. The clubs or 'boliches' as they are known in these parts, don't tend to take themselves too seriously and generally knock out crowd pleasing salsa music to a friendly, fun-loving crowd.

How LONG Did It Take to Get My First 10,000 Subscribers on YouTube?
by Neil Patel
There's a simple tactic that'll get you your first 10,000 YouTube subscribers. Today I'm going to break down how long did it take me to get my first 10,000 subscribers and how you can too with one winning tactic that got me there.
RESOURCES & LINKS:
Ubersuggest: https://neilpatel.com/ubersuggest/
Tactic number one, paid YouTube ads. At first, I thought that paid ads were great. I was getting an average of 323,000 views per month. But the problem, that level engagement that I was is getting from those paid ads, it just wasn't ideal. People were going, they weren't engaging, dropping off. My retention rates were too low.
The worst part, when I stopped my YouTube ads my views tanked and I got almost zero traction from all the money I spent on ads in the aftermath. The bottom line is, that experiment helped me get a bulk of my views in that short period of time but it didn't create long term gains. I just spent a ton of money, and literally flushed it down the toilet. And when I say I spent a lot of money, I'm not talking about $1.000 I'm talking about tens and tens, and tens of thousands of dollars.
That's how I got to tactic number two, which was releasing one video per day. I know what you're thinking, "Neil, you're crazy. One video per day, that's hard to keep up with." And you're right. It wasn't easy to keep up with that production pace but the results of this second experiment were great. For the first time, I was getting a lot of new subscribers every day.
Though, my view count wasn't as impressive. I wanted to build up my channel subscriber base so that way I can maintain higher view counts in the future. Not only that. Pushing out new content every day, allowing me to understand what my audience really wanted to learn, and what they didn't want, which and then gave me the opportunity to double-down on the winning ideas, and get more traction.
So what I learned during that time is, and you could model after this is, produce videos each and every single day when you're starting. When you produce those videos, make sure you put in the right keywords in the title, in the description, and use Ubersuggests to show you what keywords are popular. It even shows you them for YouTube as well. It has all that data in there.
Now, within the first 30 seconds of your video, you need to tell people to subscribe. within the first 10 seconds of the video, you need to hook people so that they want keep watching the rest of your videos. And when you do this, you'll get more subscribers. You'll eventually rank and you'll do well.
The other strategy I have for you is when you release those videos, send out an email blast. A push notification. Promote the YouTube video on other social channels, and tell them to go to YouTube even though the other social channels hate it. It's a good start. And what I mean by that is, I'm not talking about a wall post. I'm talking about messaging other people on these social channels that you already have fans and fans, and that'll help you get more traction. If you do this, you'll figure out what works on YouTube.
And then after 30 day time window, what you can do is start creating less videos. I do three times a week, and you create the videos that create the most engagement the most subscribers 'cuz you have data from your first 30 days. If you don't have enough data from your first 30 days, create 60 days worth of content.
Go hard for two months, and then slow it down and then focus on quality. That's how you get your first 10,000 subscribers super fast.

Hey Neil – could you advice please? I post tennis video sessions and back in 2018-19 I had 15K+ views on my each videos but then in 2020 I could not post every week due to Covyd – courts were closed and now I post again once a week I dont seem to get any views compare to back then.. the break of
not posting regularly to due to pandemic was like 4-5 months. Shall I open a new channel
instead or keep posting once a week like now – cant post much more

not? cheers' Jan. JM Tennis

Produce videos everyday with "YouTube optimisation".
This only works if you have relevant topics to talk about. For instance, if you are a cooking channel, that's cooking enough dishes daily or produce enough content "60 videos" and then schedule to post them daily..but this won't work if your channel is something like.."fish tanks at home".
I think the key is "active" channels, you don't have to have crap thin content for engagement, you can do 3 videos a week and still get this level of "notice" and return from YouTube. I'm sure tactics like this will lead to spam and thin videos and similar to webpages, Google will clamp down on "thin" or "low quality" videos etc

The best strategy is to make atleast 5 videos and promote that particular YouTube video which gets the most subscribers through Google Ad campaign.What say Neil?

hi neil, I'm a 17 y/o and am planning to start an educational youtube channel with digitally animated content. i want my videos to land on people's recommended, because the content isn't exactly something many people are searching for. like, it has pretty decent volume and medium-high competition, but its not the kind of content that most viewers would be looking for via search. its very appealing and high quality, and the titles, thumbnails and of course the video would grab the attention of a viewer and make them click and also watch… but only if it lands in their recommended. can you suggest what i can do about that, to ramp it up near the time of release instead of waiting for potentially months for the algorithm to pick it up?
also, is there a promising way to promote youtube videos other than my own social media?
would really appreciate your response, thank you! 🙂

One Mystic Manifestation October 22, 2022 at 1:44 pm
Hi Neil. How long does it take to build an AUTHORITY Youtube channel where YouTube starts ranking your videos as soon as you upload them?? I created a Tech channel bout 3 months ago & already uploaded 100+ videos & I'm being consistent on it since the start…But most of my videos don't get any views…
So, I was wondering how long does it take for YouTube to start pushing your contents provided I am doing every other thing right, from content making to SEO optimize my videos…
I tried blogging & have two blogs in health & tech niches & both the blogs are Adsense approved but Zero traffic… So, trying YouTube now because I felt ranking in YT is easier than ranking in Google for blog contents…Sometimes feel very depressed & demotivated but I'm not going to give-up…I'm 44 years old & still no monthly income…:(
Love from India…

A Key To Startup Survival In a Crisis: Iterating To Product Market Fit
8 min listen
In a downturn, nailing your startup's product market fit takes on a new urgency.
At a VC-backed company, traction is not enough; you also need a clear path to scale.
Confidence in your ideas and your team are essential to getting through hard times.
How Jennifer Dulski led Fatdoor/The Dealmap through the Great Recession
When Jennifer Dulski joined Fatdoor as cofounder and CEO at the end of 2007, things seemed to be going according to plan. The company had raised a modest sum of money and assembled a small but talented team. Like many early-stage startups, Fatdoor was iterating on various concepts – all tied to the idea of a local, neighborhood-based service — as it sought to find a still-elusive product market fit.
But shortly after, events upended Fatdoor's well-laid plans. As the subprime mortgage crisis deepened, the stock market went into freefall. By September 2008, Lehman Brothers collapsed. A month later, a dire warning rattled the entire Silicon Valley startup economy. In its immediately-famous "RIP Good Times" presentation, marquee venture firm Sequoia Capital admonished founders to "adapt quickly," "spend every dollar as if it were your last," and "get real or go home."
"What we read is what we had already been thinking," Dulski says. "But it made us realize that we had better get on it and act fast."
In the ensuing months, Fatdoor followed many of the Sequoia prescriptions, moving quickly to cut costs, exploring emergency financing alternatives in a changed environment, and most importantly, focusing with renewed urgency on the task at hand: zeroing in on a model that could deliver users, revenue and profits.
The company iterated at dizzying speed, running through a series of product ideas and business plans. It even changed its name, not once (from Fatdoor to Center'd), but twice (from Center'd to The Dealmap). In that final iteration, an app that would show Groupon-style deals and other offers on a map, it found its path to growth. In 2011, Google acquired the company, which had grown to 15 employees and two million users.
In the face of a new economic crisis unleashed by a global pandemic, the story of how Dulski led her startup to success in the face of long odds — leveraging her grit, perseverance and conviction in her startup's potential and talent — is a lesson and inspiration for entrepreneurs in uncertain times.
Painful cuts become a lifeline
Shortly after the Sequoia presentation, a gallows humor quip began to circulate among the members of Dulski's team. "Must be present to win," they would jokingly remind each other, in reference to the rules common in many raffles. In short, survival was job number one, two and three.
The plan to extend the startup's life began, not surprisingly, with cost-cutting. The company eliminated a couple of positions, leaving it with just a handful of employees. Dulski and co-founder and CTO Chandu Thota took pay cuts. And Dulski began negotiating with vendors hoping to get a break wherever she could.
First was their landlord. The company was able to get out of a long-term lease and move into a smaller space. Dulski also renegotiated a number of contracts, including a licensing deal the company had for local content. "A lot of people were pushing to renegotiate agreements, and in some cases we got better deals," she says. "We really went down to bare bones from a cost perspective."
Ideate. Prototype. Test. Repeat.
The bigger, more urgent changes, however, were around Fatdoor's search for a product that would resonate with users. The company scrapped the initial concept it had for a neighborhood-based social network in favor of a new idea, a service for organizing local events. After Dulski and her team realized the service wasn't spreading virally, they changed course again.
The company, by then called Center'd, would use artificial intelligence and natural language processing capabilities to analyze local listings and online reviews, and to single out characteristics that stood out. It could identify restaurants that were "romantic," or "family friendly," for example, or bike shops that catered to "serious athletes," or day spas that were "full service" or "high end." "We analyzed the text in tens of millions of online reviews," Dulski says.
In the nascent mobile era, the new approach Center'd pioneered proved valuable – sometimes more so than review sites like Yelp, which consumers struggled to use on smartphone screens. But the company lacked funds to spend on marketing, so rather than a consumer product, it decided to license its data to other online companies focused on local businesses, like CitySearch.
Revenue started to grow, but Dulski soon realized the market wasn't large enough for a company whose investors were intent on outsize returns. The universe of potential customers for Center'd was relatively small. "The licensing business was growing, but I realized it wouldn't grow at venture scale," Dulski says. "We needed to iterate again."
The questions you have to ask yourself are, "do you believe in the team," and "do you believe you can build something great."
From survival to success
At the company's final board meeting of 2009, Dulski pitched her new idea of aggregating local deals into an app. She then spent the holidays persuading board members one-on-one that it was the right move. Some were reluctant to change course, saying the company had shifted direction too many times, and it was finally getting some traction. But through perseverance and persuasion, she was finally able to win them over and get the green light. After struggling with two names that had done little for the startup, Dulski insisted on being descriptive, even literal. The Dealmap was born early in 2010, and things turned around quickly after that.
The Dealmap allowed users to find local deals near them. It not only displayed Groupon-style offerings, which had grown in popularity over the previous year, but also those from big national brands. If Gap or Subway had a special offer, The Dealmap would show it. "It took off immediately," Dulski says. "It really showed me the difference between having product market fit and not having it."
Revenue started to trickle in, and Dulski began getting cold calls from businesses, including major national brands, that wanted to work with The Dealmap. Sometimes Dulski had to pinch herself to believe the company's newfound fortunes. "One day, I picked up the phone and it was someone from MasterCard," Dulski recalls. "My first reaction was to think it was fake."
Despite the cost-cutting early in the crisis, the company still found itself in need of additional funds as it iterated through business ideas. With the path to new investors effectively closed, Dulski pitched her existing investors. An inside round made sense, because those investors had a stake in preserving the money they had already sunk into the company. Even so, it wasn't easy, until Dulski persuaded one investor to lead a $1.5 million round. "No one wanted to lead it," Dulski says. "Finding allies in the moment is really important. You need someone who is willing to step in and make a statement."
Uniting the team
Dulski says she could not have succeeded had she not earned the support of her team. And that wasn't easy. "To bring a team along on something like that can be really challenging," she says. "When you let people go at a very small company, it's impactful. Others start to worry about job safety. We had to sell them on the idea of staying."
Being small, however, was a saving grace. As everyone worked harder, the bonds between the team solidified. "We were working incredibly hard, so we were together all the time," Dulski says.
To relieve some of the pressure, The Dealmap introduced some fun traditions. They agreed to work especially late on Wednesdays: Everyone would leave the office around 4 pm to relax at home or go for a workout. They would return in the early evening for a group dinner. Dulski's husband and young daughters would then bring homemade cookies for everyone. "We loved what we struggled for," she says. "It can really bring the team together — as long as you see light at the end of the tunnel."
Dulski is now founder and CEO Rising Team, a startup that builds tools for leadership development and team building. She's facing a new economic crisis — one that could derail many entrepreneurial dreams. In choosing to pursue hers, she draws on a lesson from her days at The Dealmap. "The questions you have to ask yourself are, 'do you believe in the team,' and 'do you believe you can build something great,'" she says. "The answer for me was yes to both, so it was worth taking a hit in the near term to keep going."

Please help i dont know what im doing wrong.
SFML 1.6 needs to be recompiled from source in MSVC++ 2010 Express in order to work. I found a video a while back that is super helpful in guiding you through the process.


Thank you for accepting my testimony on the features of Pennsylvania's tax system and how it compares to other states in the nation. My name is Pavel Yakovlev, and I am an affiliated scholar at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University and professor of economics at Duquesne University. My basic message today is that a sound tax policy that can promote both efficiency and equity has two important features: a low rate and a broad base with few exemptions or deductions. Unfortunately, some elements of Pennsylvania's state tax structure do not meet these basic requirements. Pennsylvania has one of the highest tax burdens in the nation and ranks near the bottom in business friendliness. While much good can be said about the state's flat personal income tax rate and relatively low sales tax rate, Pennsylvania's business taxes are inefficiently high. The state government took a step in the right direction by phasing out its archaic capital stock and foreign franchise tax, but Pennsylvania's economy is still being held back by its high corporate income and unemployment insurance taxes. Pennsylvania's 9.99 percent corporate income tax rate, second highest in the nation, puts the state at a significant competitive disadvantage. A combination of spending cuts, tax rate cuts, and tax base broadening could make Pennsylvania's economy grow faster without jeopardizing the state's ability to provide valuable public services.
A recent study by the Mercatus Center reveals that Pennsylvania's state government ranks 45th in the nation in terms of fiscal solvency, placing it right next to the bottom five states: New Jersey, Illinois, Massachusetts, Kentucky, and Maryland. The Mercatus Center's state fiscal rankings consist of five dimensions of financial solvency (cash, budget, long-run, service-level, and trust fund) that assess total primary government activities as well as unfunded pension obligations and other post-employment benefit liabilities. Taken together, these five dimensions help capture a state's overall fiscal health, which looks poor in Pennsylvania.
The main driver of the state's low fiscal score is its low (47th) rank on cash solvency. This dimension of fiscal health measures whether a state has enough cash to cover its short-term bills and it shows that Pennsylvania's ability to cover its short-term obligations is among the lowest in the country. Furthermore, Pennsylvania's negative net asset ratio of 0.27 and long-term liabilities of almost 60 percent of total assets point to the prevalence of debt and unfunded obligations in the state's budget. These fiscal pressures cause Pennsylvania to rank below the national average in budget (38th), long-run (36th), and trust fund (26th) solvency. Such low scores more than offset the state's relatively good service-level solvency rank of 21, resulting in the overall conclusion that the state government is living beyond its means.
One might argue that the root cause of the state's poor fiscal ranking is insufficient taxation of its people. This is simply not true, because Pennsylvania ranks above the national average in tax burdens. According to the Tax Foundation, in 2016 the average person in Pennsylvania had to work till April 22 to pay off his or her taxes, later than average citizen of 32 other states. Pennsylvania has the 15th-highest tax burden in the nation, with a per capita tax burden of $4,589, or 10.2 percent of state income.
Having a combined 6.34 percent average state and local sales tax rate, Pennsylvania ranks 20th nationally in sales tax burden and 17th nationally in personal income tax burden because of its single tax rate of 3.07 percent. However, the state's sales tax has too many exemptions and should be extended to include as many products and services as possible. This would allow the state to raise just as much revenue with a lower tax rate, which would increase efficiency and spread the tax burden more equitably across all sectors of the economy.
More importantly, Pennsylvania's 9.99 percent corporate income tax rate is the highest flat rate in the nation. This puts Pennsylvania at a significant competitive disadvantage compared to other states without generating much tax revenue. The US federal government has also had similar experience with its rather high corporate income tax rate. Despite having one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world, the federal government has raised relatively little revenue with this tax and it gave corporations ample incentive to hide their income through tax inversions and other means. This contributed to the Trump administration's motivation for lowering the federal corporate income tax rate.
To sum it up, Pennsylvania's low rankings on corporate income (44th) and unemployment insurance (45th) taxes more than offset its relatively favorable rankings on individual income and sales taxes, pushing the state toward the middle of the Tax Foundation's 2017 State Business Tax Climate Index.
At the same time, Pennsylvania has several options for improving its tax system. A sound tax system should strive to achieve efficiency, revenue stability, simplicity, and equity. Two very basic principles of taxation, a broad tax base and low tax rate, could satisfy a good portion of these objectives. A lower tax rate causes fewer distortions and reduces the strain on economic growth. A wide tax base that covers all forms of economic activity would allow the state to raise more revenue with lower tax rates. Another benefit of a wider tax base is that it can rely on multiples sources of revenue that fluctuate differently over the business cycle. This diversification helps to stabilize tax revenues. One more benefit of a broad-based tax system is greater horizontal equity, which is about equalizing tax burdens on individuals who have equal ability to pay. When a tax covers as many goods and services as possible, most individuals will bear the tax burden and do so proportionally regardless of how they earn or spend their money. To decrease the potential regressivity (i.e., burden on the poor) of broad-based consumption or sales taxes, the state could tax necessities at a lower rate.
To offset possible revenue losses from the recommended tax cuts, state legislators may want to consider increasing state reliance on user fees and charges as well as corrective taxes on negative externalities like pollution and environmental degradation. User fees and charges have a twofold benefit: (1) they mimic market prices with all the associated implications for efficiency, and (2) they can be considered equitable because people who benefit from public services pay for them.
Corrective taxes on negative environmental externalities are also desirable from an efficiency standpoint because they force the market to internalize the costs that pollutants impose on society. However, the challenge with corrective taxes is that they should be set equal to the marginal damage, which is hard to estimate objectively in many cases. This is a particularly thorny issue when it comes to assessing what kind of taxes should be levied on natural gas extraction: a fixed impact fee per well or a severance tax per unit of gas extracted? From a societal perspective, if negative externalities are proportional to the number of wells drilled, then the tax should be structured more like a fixed impact fee per well. However, if externalities are proportional to the volume of gas extracted, then a severance-like tax per unit of natural gas might be more appropriate.
The evidence presented in this testimony suggests that state government spending is becoming more burdensome for the economy to sustain. The state could benefit from cutting some spending and squeezing more efficiency out of it, while also simplifying and lowering some of its taxes. As a general rule, a broad-based and low-rate tax system can reduce distortions, decrease compliance costs, and spread the tax burden more equitably across all taxpayers.
At 9.99 percent, Pennsylvania has the highest flat corporate income tax rate in the nation. This tax sticks out like a sore thumb, hampering the state's ability to attract investment. Reducing the corporate income tax rate, widening the overall tax base, and greatly simplifying tax rules would make the state tax system more equitable and efficient while making the state economy more prosperous. Pennsylvania could also benefit from lowering its rather high unemployment insurance tax. If revenue neutrality is a priority, policymakers should be prepared to offset potential revenue shortfalls from tax cuts by widening a sales tax base or increasing their reliance on user fees and charges. The state should also consider cutting spending and increasing its operational efficiency in order to improve its poor fiscal solvency, the primary cause of which is excessive spending.
Thank you for inviting me to speak with you today about Pennsylvania's tax policy. I look forward to answering any questions you may have concerning my testimony.


Chaitra Navratri 2019: Nine colours dresses that will bring prosperity and peace this festive occasion.
Navratri one of the most loved festivals of India that is celebrated with much vigor and enthusiasm as people worship the nine incarnations of Goddess Durga for nine days. We have two Navratri's one is Chaitra Navratri that comes in April and the other is Sharad Navratri between September and October in the lunar month of Ashwin. Both the Navratris involve fasting and worshipping the Goddess.
The nine forms of Goddess Durga are Shailputri, Brahmacharini, Chandharghanta, Kushmanda, Skandamata, Katyayani, Kalratri, Mahagauri and Siddhidatri. As per mythology, 9 days of Navratri are dedicated to the different goddess and each goddess is related to different color and wearing that specific color on that particular day is considered sacred and also brings good luck.
Day 1 – Color of the day is grey wearing the color will not only connect you to divine power but also provide God's protection.
Day 2 – Color of the day is Orange. This color not only increases your charisma but is also related to name, fame, and money.
Day 3 – Color of the day is white. Wearing white on the third day symbolizes peace, prayer, faith, and stability and will also ensure that the goddess will protect the devotees from harm.
Day 4 – Color of the day is red. The color is a symbol of power, passion and is also the goddess's favorite color. Devotees should offer red roses to the goddess on this day.
Day 5 – Color of the day is sky blue. The color represents faith and also helps you gain spiritual awareness.
Day 6 – Color of the day is pink. The color symbolizes hope and a new beginning if a devotee wears this color on day six then the goddess will not only bless them but also wash away their sins.
Day 7 – Color of the day is royal blue that represents strong energy and tranquillity the goddess will bless devotees with prosperity and happiness.
Day 8 – Color of the day is yellow symbolizing happiness and confidence in life. It helps in getting a positive attitude.

PANDOMO® TerrazzoMicro: Pure elegance in a seamless surface.
Düsseldorf has a new landmark. The award-winning Sky Office high-rise on Kennedydamm is a rich, new highlight in the city's skyline. The 23-storey tower 89 metres tall featuring a glass façade and over 30,000 square metres of flexible office space was designed by Christoph Ingenhoven.
Singular elegance starts with a purist floor.
Clarity and light dominate the room interiors. The floor-to-ceiling glazing creates a bright working atmosphere with plenty of daylight. On the ground floor, the building's elegant foyer and inviting bistro area make a striking first impression, the brightness underscored by the choice of unusual colours and materials for the floors. For this area, the designers selected an exclusive, pure white, classic terrazzo-look floor – 1,300 square metres installed practically seamlessly. The effect is a striking, distinctive space characterised by the unadorned white of the floor, which is modern and purist without being cool. The vast, virtually seamless, flowing surface is cohesive to the eye. Custom colouring in a special white with a fine aggregate, also in white, resulted in a one-of-a-kind floor. This effect was achieved using an innovative, premium-quality material concept. It was crucial to the design to opt for a customisable floor that offered ease and economy of installation. At the same time, it had to be wear-resistant and usable on raised flooring. The logical choice was PANDOMO® TerrazzoMicro. This new floor system produces a seamless, finely-ground, up-market finish with a characteristic terrazzo look. It consists of a very low-tension binder matrix as a base, combined with various fine mineral aggregates making up the decorative graining. The pigmentation and structure can be fully customised. The natural stone graining of the floor ensures an authentically organic look. For the Sky Office, a white binder matrix was mixed with a slightly lighter chip as the decorative aggregate. This pure monochrome colour scheme called for uncompromising precision craftsmanship in order to eliminate the possibility of colour discrepancies. The material, however, allowed rapid installation over a virtually seamless expanse. The substrate was a raised floor covered with PANDOMO® ATS Sub screed followed by PANDOMO® TerrazzoMicro in a 14-millimetre layer. Finally, the entire surface was finely ground several times. The finished floor is an incomparably elegant, smooth expanse produced in record time.

In addition to the mixtape's CD release, the Dirty South Dance 2 Deluxe Pack includes a limited-edition T-Shirt and screen-printed poster featuring new visual packaging by OBEY's Shepard Fairey.
After the success of the first DSD installment in 2007 through OBEY Records, both A-Trak and OBEY have been eagerly awaiting their collaboration for 2. First offered as a free download this May on A-Trak's blog, DSD2 expands on the blueprint of bootlegs and edits pairing notable Southern rap verses with equally cutting-edge electronic dance anthems. The end result seamlessly enhances the best qualities of both musical components to deliver a future-thinking mix as inventive in 2010 as his initial concept. Following its digital release, DSD2 subsequently saturated the internet, garnering praise from Pitchfork and The Fader, among countless others. A-Trak adds, "It was really gratifying to make this mixtape a free download, to give music away to my fans and watch the response in real time."
Highly renowned for their forward-thinking efforts in their respective fields of music and visual art, OBEY Records and A-Trak have been eagerly awaiting their collaboration on this project. The success of the first DSD installment soon followed creative breakthroughs for both parties. A-Trak's prolific production and remix work spurred collaborations with Nike+ for his Running Man mix, two mixtapes released by Fabric and Thrive Records in 2009, a partnership with Armand Van Helden as Duck Sauce, and last but not least, founding his own label, Fool's Gold Records, with Nick Catchdubs. Shepard Fairey, creator of OBEY Giant and OBEY Clothing, has successfully weaved his vision around the world with his iconic imagery and distinct style of art. Since the first DSD, Shepard has expanded his body of work, both on the street as well as fine art galleries around the world including his 20 year retrospective poster tour and his most recent collection, MAY DAY at Deitch Projects, New York. Never one to rest on past achievements, OBEY continues to evolve as a brand, and a lifestyle for all to enjoy.

Q: PWA Project Site List Web Part Closed And Re-added - Datasheet View Disabled On our PWA instance, we have a master template which defines the SharePoint Project Site layouts.  On this template, we have a list web part, which is editable in Datasheet View.
On a particular project, a user closed the list web part.  After re-adding it, Datasheet View is disabled. The tooltip reads - "This control is currently disabled.  You might not have the right permission level to use this, you might need to select an object or item, or the control might not work in this context."
I've ensured that List Settings -> Advanced Settings -> "Allow items in this list to be edited using the datasheet" is enabled, and tried toggling it off and back on to no effect.  I've also verified that I have permissions to edit the list - I'm logged in as admin.
I'm using IE9 and able to access Datasheet View on other projects (where the list web part wasn't closed) in the same IE instance, so it's not browser settings.

A: Instead of adding the web part again, I suggest you to re-open the closed one (if it was really only closed and not deleted). See this post.

No-bake Strawberry cheesecake pie with Chocolate cookie crust.
A store bought cookie crust, I bought chocolate you can use whatever you like.
Then it gets really technical, so pay close attention ! You will beed to put the filling into the crust and top it with sliced strawberries. Real hard !!!!!!!
Chill, slice and eat !
P.S: for another variation on this recipe check out this link. I made this pie for 4th of july a few years ago !
Looks messy, is messy but oh will your belly do a happy dance with one bite of these bars. Use the ingredients to make either drop cookies or a bar like I made. If making a bar, coat the top with the extra chocolate and coconut !!!
Cream butter, almond butter, and sugars until smooth. Add egg and vanilla, beat until well-incorporated. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the creamed butters and sugars and mix on a low speed until just combined. Stir in the remaining ingredients.
Press down the batter into a greased 9×13 baking pan. Top with the chocolate chips and coconut. Bake until lightly golden around the edges but still quite soft in the center, 12-14 minutes.
Spread the chocolate and coconut to make it look like frosting. Put back into the oven for 5 more minutes.
Allow to cool completely before cutting up into squares !
Rich and exotic, this cake is bound to be a hit. I like to pair it with Earl Grey Tea or a nice cold glass of Chardonnay !
Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease and flour 2 (8-inch) round cake pans. Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add saffron and zest. Bring just to a simmer; remove from heat, and set aside.
Sift together flour, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl. Stir in salt.
Beat together butter and almond paste at medium speed in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment about 3 minutes or until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, and beat until fluffy, scraping down sides.
Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition. Gradually add flour mixture alternately with sour cream, beginning and ending with flour mixture and beating at medium speed just until blended after each addition. Add reserved milk mixture; beat just until blended. Do not overmix.
Shake pans gently, or use a spatula to smooth tops. Bake at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Let cool in pans on wire racks 5 minutes. Remove from pans, and serve warm, dusted with more powdered sugar or drizzled with orange juice combined with 2 to 3 tablespoons powdered sugar, if desired.

Climate change in the San Diego region: What we can do to reverse its impact – CBS News 8
By SanDiego X On Aug 11, 2021
A report just released by the UN says that the global climate is warming and the window to reverse its negative impact is closing quickly.
SAN DIEGO COUNTY, Calif. — Local environmental researchers and advocates are talking about the challenges we will face concerning climate change in the San Diego region. A report just released by the UN says that the global climate is warming and the window to reverse its negative impact is closing quickly.
A program director at USD said she isn't surprised at all to hear that climate change is happening rapidly. She said now more than ever, is the time for all of us to play a role in tackling the issue right here in San Diego.
USD's Regional Climate Collaborative says in 2003 and 2007, the San Diego region had two of the largest wildfires in state history to date. The collaborative is a network of agencies that's been working to create climate change solutions since 2011.
"San Diego County already has the highest variability in rainfall, out of any other county in the contiguous 48 states. So, what that means when we talk about climate change, is that years where we have drought and dry years, they're going to become dryer and more intense. In the years that we have rainfall, our rainfall events are going to become intense and lead to potential flooding," said Darbi Berry, Program Director for the USD Regional Climate Collaborative.
For the last 10 years, volunteer-based group San Diego 350 has also been working to educate and mobilize people to lessen the impacts of climate change. One of its founding members said San Diego policymakers have recently stepped up to create a sustainable plan but more needs to be done.
"The ocean is actually rising faster in San Diego than it is in other places. It's already risen several inches and it could rise, worst-case scenario, as much as 10 feet by the year 2100," said Masada Disenhouse, Executive Director and founding member of San Diego 350.
Disenhouse said getting people to use public transportation and only using electricity in our homes will have a huge, positive impact on the climate in our region. Both the Collaborative and San Diego 350 say despite the startling realities, there's still a chance for all of us to contribute to protecting the region.
"Find out what you can do individually to make a difference because you can. I've seen that the reason that we have the changes we discussed earlier is because of citizen action all over the world," Disenhouse said.
San Diego 350 says that climate change also disproportionately impacts low-income communities and it's important that San Diego lawmakers invest in protecting them. For more information, use this link: climate change.
