Such statement of origin shall be in the English language.

Prior to the issuance of a certificate of title for any such new motor vehicle or new mobile home, the holder of any security interest therein may demand and receive from the owner thereof the manufacturer's statement of origin and may retain it as long as he or she holds the security interest.
Do all motor scooters and mini-motorcycles (Exhibit "B") have to be titled within the State of Florida?
Motor Scooters are not defined in either Chapter 319 or 320 of the Florida Statutes. However, they fit the definition of a motorcycle as defined in section 320.01(27) Florida Statutes. Since they meet this definition, they must be titled and registered if they are operated or driven upon the roads of this state, per sections 319.21(1) and 320.02(1) Florida Statutes.
Do manufacturers, distributors and importers of motor scooters or mini-motorcycles (Exhibit "B") have to be licensed with the State of Florida, even though they have a motor with a displacement of less than 50 cubic centimeters?
Yes, the manufacturer, importer or distributor must be licensed with the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles as required under section 320.60(1, 5 and 7) Florida Statutes.
What are the manufacturer's requirements to import a vehicle?
(Part 551) – letter to NHTSA designating an agent for service of process (foreign manufacturers) and a letter from the agent accepting the designation.
(Part 565) – VIN Requirements – letter to NHTSA deciphering the VIN format 60 days prior to offering for sale the first vehicle.
(Part 566) – Manufacturer Identification – letter to NHTSA, including name, address and what is manufactured, 30 days after manufacturing begins.
(Part 567) – Certification – label permanently affixed to vehicle by the vehicle manufacturer prior to entry into the U.S.
How do I apply for a Manufacturer/Importer/Distributor license?
Does each line make have to be shown on the Manufacturer/Importer/Distributor license?
If an individual or company purchases scooters from the manufacturer and sells them directly to the public, what type of license is needed?
If an individual or company purchases scooters from the manufacturer and sells them to other retailers, what type of license is needed?
NOTE: Individuals who purchase scooters for their own personal use directly from a foreign manufacturer who does not have a Manufacturer, Importer or Distributor license in the state of Florida will not be able to title or register the scooter.
If an individual or company buys scooters from a distributor/importer to retail to the public are they required to be licensed?
No. Retailers of motor scooters 50cc and less are not required to be licensed. However, the distributor or importer of 50cc or less motor scooters that sold the units to the retailer, must have a valid license to distribute or import motor scooters into the State of Florida.
How do you determine if a company selling scooters is a distributor or retailer?
The distributor/importer should be the name that is printed in the bottom right hand corner of the MCO. This is the name that the license should be issued to and it should also be the name that you look for on the approved list. There are some instances where the distributor and the retailer are the same. In those cases, the distributor name will be printed in the bottom right hand corner and in the center of the MCO.
Note: We have seen some MCOs that have the manufacturer's name (who isn't licensed) printed at the top of the MCO and in the bottom right hand corner, with the licensed distributor's name printed in the center of the MCO. If an MCO is submitted that fits this scenario, please fax a copy of the incorrect MCO to the Helpdesk so that the distributor can be contacted and advised of the revisions that need to be made to the MCO. As long as the name in the center of the MCO appears on the approved list, it should not be rejected at this time.
What documents are required prior to titling and registering new motor scooters or mini-motorcycles (Exhibit "B")?
Section 319.21 Florida Statutes, states the manufacturer, distributor or no other person may sell or otherwise dispose of a new motor vehicle without delivering a manufacturer's statement of origin duly executed with such assignments as may be necessary to show title in the purchaser thereof. Such statement of origin shall be in the English language. The manufacturer's statement of origin shall contain a certification of the identification number and description of the motor vehicle delivered and the name and address of the distributor or other person whom the motor vehicle was originally sold. The manufacturer statement of origin must be on secure paper and must be issued over the signature of an authorized official of the manufacturer.
Note: Manufacturers statement of origin for mini-motorcycles or motor scooters as defined in sections 320.01(27) Florida Statutes, and used as proof, on one of these type vehicles which is not sold by a licensed motor vehicle dealers, must be approved by the Division of Motor Vehicles, Bureau of Field Operations, prior to use.
If you have questions regarding the legality of a manufacturers statement of origin, you should visit the NHTSA web site, or the departmental web site that list approved manufacturers statement of origin, as listed in Technical Advisory T04-02.
When titling and registering a motorcycle that is 50 cubic centimeters or less, should the body type be entered as MC or MS?
The vehicle type would be MC and the body type should be entered as MS.
If the MCO indicates that the vehicle is a motor driven cycle, the cubic centimeters are greater than 50, but the cycle has pedals, should it be classed as a moped, motorcycle or motor scooter?
Since the cubic centimeters are over 50, the vehicle type and the body type would be MC. A motor vehicle does not meet the definition of a moped if the displacement of the engine exceeds 50 cubic centimeters, regardless of pedals.
Are motorcycles that are 50 cubic centimeters or less exempt from odometer disclosure requirements?
How do I get on the motorcycle list that the tax collector's offices are using?
Once the manufacturer, distributor or importer has complied with all DMV requirements and a license has been issued, the Motorcycle List will be updated to reflect that you have met the requirements.
Are motor scooters/mini-motorcycles (Exhibit "B") required to have a conforming seventeen (17) digit vehicle identification number (VIN)?
Yes, the vehicle identification number (VIN), must comply with the requirements of NHTSA, and be seventeen (17) digits.
Can motor scooters or mini-motorcycles (Exhibit "B") be operated on the streets and roadways of this state without a driver license?
Since Chapter 322, Florida Statutes, has no definition for motor scooters, they fall under the definition of a motorcycle. Therefore, the operator must have a valid driver license to operate a motor scooter, or motorcycle. However, if the vehicle is powered by a motor with a displacement of more than 50 cubic centimeters, the operator must have a motorcycle endorsement.
Can motorized scooters (Exhibit "A") as defined in section 316.003(82), Florida Statutes, be titled and/or registered in Florida?
No, motorized scooters (Exhibit "A") cannot be titled or registered in this state, since they do not have a seat or saddle, as required in the definition of a motorcycle under section 320.01(27), Florida Statutes.
Can motorized scooters (Exhibit "A") as defined in section 316.003(82), Florida Statutes, be operated on the roadways of this state since they cannot be titled or registered?
No, since they are not titled or registered, they are not allowed to be operated on the roadways or any sidewalk of this state.
Are you required to wear a helmet and eye protection to ride motorcycles? How about mopeds and scooters (Exhibit "B")?
Motorcycles: Those 21 and older can ride without a helmet if they carry proof of Personal Injury Protection or proof of health insurance, (such as an employee health insurance card.) The coverage amount must be at least $10,000 to pay for treatment of injuries that may result from a motorcycle crash. Those under 21 operating motorcycles (or riding as a passenger) must wear a Department approved motorcycle helmet without exception. FS 316.211(1)&(2).
Mopeds/Scooters: If a motor vehicle is 50 cc or less, 2 brake horsepower or less, and can not exceed more than 30 mph on level ground, no helmet is required for the operator. But, they must be at least 16 years old and hold at least a regular operator license (Class E) or "Motorcycle Only" license. And any passenger under 16 must wear a helmet.
Eye Protection: All persons who operate motorcycles (motorcycle = 51cc or more) must wear eye protection.
Do motor scooter or mini-motorcycle (powered by a motor of less than 50 cc's) (Exhibit "B") dealers have to be licensed by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to sell these vehicles?
No, section 320.27(1)(b) exempts the sell of mopeds and motorcycles powered by a motor with a displacement of 50 cubic centimeters (cc's) or less.
I already have an Independent or Franchised motor vehicle dealer license in the state of Florida to sell motorcycles over 50cc, do I need a different license to sell motorcycles that are 50cc and under?
No. You do not need a separate license, but you must submit an application to add any new line makes to your current license.
I am licensed to sell motorcycles over 50 cc, is it necessary for my company name to be on the approved motorcycle list?
No. The approved list applies only to those motorcycles that are 50cc or less. The process for titling and registering motorcycles above 50cc has not changed.
Are motor scooters or mini-motorcycles (Exhibit "B") allowed to be titled and registered if the Manufacturers Statement of Origin or the vehicle states on it, that the vehicle is manufactured for "Off Highway Use?"
These vehicles cannot be registered for operation on the roadways of this state, but should be titled as a "Off Highway Motorcycle," as provided for in section 317.006, Florida Statutes, if operated on public lands of this state.
Are motor scooters or mini-motorcycles (Exhibit "B") required to meet safety requirements outlined by NHTSA, and Chapter 316 of the Florida Statutes?
Yes, motor scooters and mini-motorcycles are required to meet all safety requirements, required by NHTSA and Chapter 316, Florida Statutes.
When FLHSMV issues a Manufacturer/Importer/Distributor license, does this mean that the scooters I sell have met all the safety requirements to make them street legal?
No. The department does not inspect motor vehicles prior to issuing a license. It is the manufacturer/importer/distributors responsibility to insure that the scooters comply with all safety standards required by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Chapter 316, Florida Statutes.
What are the driver licensing requirements for mopeds, scooters and other two or three wheel motor vehicles?
If 50cc or less, these vehicles are not motorcycles by driver license law definition, FS 322.01 (25), so a motorcycle endorsement is not needed per F.S. 322.03(4). However, to operate them on streets and roadways, you must be at least 16 years old and hold at least a regular operator (Class E) or "Motorcycle Only" driver license. (Reason: even though these vehicles are 50cc or less, they still fall under the driver license law definition of "Motor Vehicles" and a driver license is required to operate a "motor vehicle".) FS 322.03(1), 322.01(26) and 322.05(1).
Is there a motorized vehicle you can operate without a driver license?
Yes, if at least 16, you may ride a bicycle with an electric helper-motor that can not go faster than 20 mph on level ground, per 322.03(1), 322.01(26) and 316.003(2).

The kingdom of love is a frightening place. A dangerous place. What kind of fool wants to live there?
How have I, Francis Bacon, well-known as the cleverest man in England, been caught in this trap? For years I survived the brutal games of the English court, driven by the whims of the idiot King James I - and finally, I was winning. Forget what my friends Ben Jonson and William Shakespeare say about love. I had that which men truly crave above all else: power.
But now, at the moment of my greatest success, a deadly alliance of my enemies has begun closing in on me. Led by the King's beautiful and poisonous lover Carr, this new alliance threatens to turn our foolish King against me, so that I may rot in the Tower.
I refuse to go down without a fight. I have concocted a brilliant new plan: I will find my own beguiling young man and supplant Carr in the King's bed, and take power for myself. All I need to do is find him, my beautiful and mysterious creature, my perfect chess move.
In the dangerous kingdom of love, those who understand desire win. And I intend to win, at all costs.

Остров Бомбей () — остров в Индийском океане, ранее входивший в состав архипелага Семь островов Бомбея и расположенный на территории Индии.

Семь островов Бомбея

Остров Бомбей был открыт и назван португальским торговцем и исследователем Франсишку ди Алмейда в 1508 году, который назвал его «Bom Bahia» (с португальского — «Хороший залив»). В 16 веке архипелаг находился под властью Португалии, а в 1662 году был передан Англии в качестве приданого Екатерины Брагансской, вышедшей в том же году за британского короля Карла II. После масштабных насыпных работ острова объединились в один и были связаны с материковой частью Индии с помощью моста; сейчас на острове Бомбей находится город Мумбаи, носивший имя острова до 1995 года. Будучи главным островом архипелага, Бомбей был основным британским портом «Семи островов». На холме Малабар-Хилл находится древний индуистский храм , построенный при династии Силхара. На острове расселялось множество этнических групп: маратхи, парсы, гуджаратцы, мусульмане, а также выходцы из Португалии и Англии. Остров был часто затапливаемым местом, особенно во время приливов. Поэтому в 1782—1784 годах британские власти засыпали пролив, отделявший Бомбей от острова Ворли.

География
Остров находится в Индийском океане и омывается водами Аравийского моря. Площадь острова — 603 км². Высота над уровнем моря — от 10 до 15 метров. Остров Бомбей находился в самом центре архипелага. На юге от него лежали острова Колаба и Малая Колаба (Остров Старухи). Севернее — остров Мазагаон, на месте которого ныне находится ручей, острова Парел, Махим и Ворли. Остров окружают четыре залива: Вазаи-Крик, Гораи-Крик, Малад-Крик, Тан-Крик. На острове располагаются реки: Дахисар, Ошивара, Пойсар, Митхи; и озёра: Тулси, Вихар, Повай. Со стороны материка находится устье реки Улхас. Гор остров не имеет, но на нём расположены 13 холмов из 22 прежних: Малабар, Кумбала, Антоп, Сеури, Гилберт, Уорли, Пали, Мазагаон, Сион, Махакали, Гоанджи, Пулшачи, Саламати. В английском варианте к названию прибавляют часть «-Хилл» (с английского — «холм»).

Фауна
Остров не славится разнообразием живых существ, так как основная его часть занята городской территорией. В фауне Бомбея преобладают птицы:
 Сорочья хохлатая кукушка
 Павлин
 Коэли
 Питты
 Египетская цапля
 Трёхпалый лесной зимородок
 Бюльбюль
 Шама-дрозды

Betty White Can Not Be Stopped
We were thrilled to get the chance this week to interview Betty White on behalf of the Archive of American Television. She was the star at the red carpet event called An Evening with Hot in Cleveland at the TV Academy.
Betty and the rest of her cast mates — Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves and Wendie Malick — sat down with Larry King for a Q&A in front of an auditorium full of adoring fans. They were also joined by guest actors Carl Reiner and Jon Lovitz, as well as producers Sean Hayes, Todd Milliner and Suzanne Martin.
The following day it was announced that Betty was just cast in yet another TV show. She will be hosting a new prank show called Betty White's Off Their Rockers, where seniors play candid camera-like tricks on youngsters. That should be a good one. And while Betty told us "they must be sick of the topic by now" when we asked about her popularity, it doesn't seem like she's going away anytime soon. Thank goodness.
Here's a clip of Betty talking about the casts of The Golden Girls vs. Hot in Cleveland. And stay tuned for more to come form the night over the next few weeks.

GHIT Fund Secures US$20 Million Pledge From Wellcome over 5 Years
TOKYO, Dec. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Global Health Innovative Technology (GHIT) Fund announced today that it has secured a pledge from global charitable foundation Wellcome for GHIT Fund's third five-year plan, GHIT 3.0 (from FY2023 to FY 2027*1) of US$20 million (approximately 2.7 billion yen*2) over five years.
Since its inception in 2013, GHIT Fund has been investing in new drug development and portfolio management to contribute to global health, supporting Japanese technology and innovation to combat infectious diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis, and neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) that affect the world's vulnerable and underserved populations. In 2023, the 10th anniversary of its founding, GHIT aims to streamline and accelerate research & development for malaria, tuberculosis, neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), and other infectious diseases.
"We are incredibly grateful for Wellcome's commitment to the GHIT Fund. I am confident that the GHIT Fund will strengthen the partnership between Japan and overseas more than ever and contribute to innovations from Japan, including breakthrough drugs, vaccines, and diagnostics over the next five years," said Dr. Osamu Kunii, CEO of GHIT Fund.
Professor Gordon Dougan, Director of Infectious Disease at Wellcome, said: "Infectious diseases are one of the greatest health threats facing the world, with people in low-and-middle-income countries continuing to suffer the most from diseases such as TB, malaria, and neglected tropical diseases. The GHIT fund addresses this enduring gap by investing in product R&D and by leveraging scientific expertise and product development capabilities in Japan."
"Japan, with its excellent pharmaceutical industry, plays an important role in global health by providing major support of GHIT and in its international leadership such as through its upcoming G7 Presidency. Wellcome is proud to be supporting the GHIT Fund whose work will help us develop lifesaving vaccines, treatments and tests for people everywhere."
As of December 5, there are 61 ongoing projects, including 28 discovery, 20 preclinical and 13 clinical trials, including one project that has been submitted for regulatory approval, in the GHIT portfolio. The total amount invested since 2013 is 28.4 billion yen (approx.US$204 million). GHIT Fund has 168 partners (58 domestic and 108 overseas) that have participated in product development to date, and the number of Japanese and overseas institutions has increased dramatically over the past 10 years.

Tips on why virtual masterminds are so cool!
Yes meeting in person is fantastic! And I do like getting hugs. However, there are many advantages to a virtual mastermind. In 2 minutes you'll know them.
Fear is a normal human reaction. It originally protected us from lion attacks, but is still present in our everyday lives. I'm not exactly running from wild animals in my home in the suburbs, so why do I (did I) feel fear in this situation? In reality, it is because I was jumping into an unknown situation.
According to an article from the Harvard Business Review, "How Fear Helps (and Hurts) Entrepreneurs", for many entrepreneurs, fear is a constant companion. Not only do you have fear of losing business, but all of your employees could also be hurt if the business is not successful. However, if entrepreneurs get stuck in this fearful mentality, they may find a more challenging climb for their business.
So, that begs the question, what should an entrepreneur do? Have a healthy level of fear. Simple enough, below are a few suggestions.
Reach out to peers in business or your fellow High Stakes Mastermind Group These individuals have either been in a situation of fear or are feeling fearful. Either way, a supportive and understanding peer advisor or colleague can talk you through possible scenarios and brainstorm situations. Sometimes the hardest part of entrepreneurship is being responsible for all of the decisions. Talking with a like minded individual can be powerful support.
If fear is gripping you – this is not the time to lash out, make knee-jerk decisions, or be dishonest. It's the time to talk it through. Help and compromise are there to be had. Remember your reputation could be at stake.
Recognize the fear that you have and acknowledge the worst that could happen. Use this fear and understanding to propel yourself forward and push the business in a positive direction. By looking for all the potential issues in the company, you can fix these issues and greatly reduce the fear involved. Consider including steps to mitigate issues and fear in your High Stakes Mastermind Group goal plan.
Power through. Sometimes fear can lead to paralysis by analysis. When there is such a fear of failure (or success for that matter), it can be easy to analyze over and over again. Instead of getting into this loop of analysis, preventing any actual work, make a decision and move forward. It is likely that most decisions can be modified and reversed if necessary.
Fear is a double edged sword. It can propel entrepreneurs to greatness, or it can prevent them from getting any work done. How do you handle fear?
A few years ago, I started to feel stuck. I didn't just wake up one morning and feel stuck, but rather it snuck up on me slowly. Since it felt like more of a professional "stuckness", I started frantically applying for jobs, looking for classes, and haphazardly trying to change my professional world. I wasted a lot of money, and ended up feeling a little burnt out before I found my right direction.
I learned some valuable lessons on feeling stuck and how to handle "stuckness". Here are the suggestions I would give to myself in the future.
For me at least, feeling stuck drives from not being challenged. Instead of making a drastic movement to get out of "stuckness", take a minute and review the situation. Talk about it with a friend, co-worker, or fellow High Stakes Mastermind Group member. Is there a new role or challenge that I can be taking? Can I find a new niche within what I am doing that will give me the challenge? Sometimes, it just takes a little thinking outside the box to find a new opportunity to get unstuck.
While I would like to think I get my entire professional fulfillment from work, this isn't true. In the future, I would look for classes to take to broaden my career knowledge or personal interests. There are opportunities through Skillshare.com (including those taught by High Stakes Mastermind Group leader, Stephanie Angelo), Coursera.com, local community college classes, and even webinars online. Not only could I have continued to develop myself professionally, but I may have found personal fulfillment in the training.
I sound like my music instructor from my childhood (practice, practice, practice), but I can't stress more the importance of research. If you decide to change roles or the way you structure your business, read about the benefits and implications. Make sure it is a good fit, before jumping.
One of the best things for me when I feel stuck is to step away from the situation. I don't mean to completely avoid it, but instead I try to stop focusing on it. Stepping away for a short break provides me with clarity, and allows me to think clearly. Instead of feeling like I must fix the problem, I am able to make sure I know what I need. Again, speaking with a friend, co-worker, or your fellow High Stakes Mastermind participant may provide you with a new perspective.
Instead of acting in panic mode, slowly and carefully make a plan of action. I don't know of any situations that have been well handled in a reactionary state. Draft up a goal plan (like we do in our High Stakes Mastermind Group) and make logical steps to complete those goals. Either have your High Stakes Mastermind Group hold you accountable or a friend or co-worker can keep you accountable to your new action plan.
If in the end, if you take what you believe to be a well considered leap, and it doesn't work out, give yourself grace. Everyone makes mistakes, I firmly believe it is better to try something new (and later find out it was not right) than to live in constant fear of not making the right choice. I would rather learn my decision did not completely meet my needs than to live in a state of "if only".
How do you handle "stuckness"? Do you have any additional suggestions on how to make professional or personal changes?
During a High Stakes Mastermind meeting a few weeks ago, we got onto the topic of social media engagement, and especially Facebook. The Facebook platform has 1.4 billion daily active users, and with this tremendous reach, it can be highly useful for entrepreneurs and business owners. During this discussion, there were many questions that came up about Facebook, and I took it as my mission to jot down those questions and get some answers to you. Thus, we have "Your Facebook Questions Answered- Part 1". Any follow up questions, I will answer in a part 2.
Before I jump into the actual questions and answers, Facebook has training for anyone interested called Facebook Blueprint. There are 90 different webinars, and I have not had a chance to see all of them, but they have a vast amount of information about how to work in Facebook as a business owner. The link to Facebook Blueprint is here.
Tell me more about the Facebook algorithm. How does it work?
Facebook posted on its newsroom platform in January of 2018, that in 2018 the Facebook algorithm would be focusing more on bringing its users closer together. Instead of just curating the news feed based on user reactions to content, now meaningful posts and comments from family and friends will be ranked higher on individual users news feeds. For example, a user will see in his or her news feed more of the posts that are likely to have or have significant discussion.
In addition, according to a video from Adam Mosseri, Head of News Feed for Facebook, the ranking algorithm focuses on inventory (available Facebook content), signals (age of posting, who posted, your internet connection, etc.), predictions (comment or share likelihood), and relevancy (how interested a user will be). Relevancy, and the age of the content is then used to create a user's personalized news feed.
So in effect, if content does not have as much engagement, it may fall off a user's news feed. Users can always choose "See First in News Feed Preferences" to receive all of a page or group's content, so this will always appear on the news feed.
How do personal and professional or business Facebook pages work together? What linking is required?
To create a professional business Facebook page, you need to have a personal page. Based on the new Facebook algorithm, posting on both your personal and professional page, and even sharing your professional post from your personal page, would be a reasonable way to increase your reach and create engagement with the content. If your personal page creates discussion about your professional page's post, this could make its way higher onto the news feed of your Facebook friends and make it more of a highly engaged and shared posting.
How do you find and analyze your Facebook demographic information?
A Facebook help article, "How do I see data about the people who like my Page", explains Facebook Insights and how to use that information to look the demographic and like information on your Facebook page. Facebook Insights is a special feature for non-personal Facebook pages that allows you to export data that contains the following: engagement with your page, page performance metrics, and what posts receive the most Facebook engagement.
How frequently should I post per day?
It depends, which I know is not a great answer, but it does. Depending on what article you read or your goal, it could be anywhere from 1-3 times per day. I would suggest testing different posting strategies to determine optimal engagement for your page. For example, test with one post for a while and see what the engagement looks like. Then test with adding a second post, and see if or how engagement changes.
The most important thing to remember is that creating quality content and driving strong engagement will be the best ways to showcase your posts in the news feed.
When are the best times to post on social media platforms like Facebook?
According to an article on Sprout Social, "Best Times to Post on Social Media- 2018 Industry Research", the best times to post on Facebook are Wednesday at 12 and 2 PM and Thursday at 1 and 2 PM. Thursday is the optimal weekday to post on Facebook. Saturday tends to be a low engagement day on Facebook, since users tend to be out and about enjoying their weekends.
Although, I would add, that just like how frequently to post on Facebook, it would be advisable to test how your posts best reach your intended audience. Your Facebook users and audience may be different from the industry standard.
How do Facebook likes really translate to engagement?
With the latest algorithm, the back and forth of discussion is one of the greatest ways to increase engagement and notice for your work on Facebook. Clicking on content, viewing, and watching content won't get you the reactions you need. Commenting, sharing, and having a discussion will drive the most engagement. Likes fall somewhere in between. They can be used as a way to gauge if the user finds the content useful, but unless the user comments or engages, that may be the end of the interaction.
Some possible ways to increase engagement, outside of just "likes", are to create a poll for your audience or include questions on your posts are a great way to encourage comments and interaction from your audience.
Should I be posting videos on Facebook?
Yes, you should definitely be posting videos into Facebook, and live videos are better than pre-recorded videos. Based on Facebook research, "live videos on average get six times as many interactions as regular videos". Videos are what drive Facebook interaction, and to work with the latest algorithm, videos are going to be one of the best ways to get your content noticed.
Additionally, posting videos directly in Facebook, instead of posting an external link, for example, may aid you in getting your posts seen by more users in the news feed.
Facebook is a constantly evolving social media platform, so it's always a good idea to continue to check into the Facebook Newsroom for updates. With that in mind, how do you use Facebook? What other Facebook questions do you have?
What does it mean to take the "silo out of solo"?
You'll often hear me say that in High Stakes Mastermind Groups we take the "silo out of solo". But what exactly does that mean? Here's the thing: it is lonely at the top.
What that means is that when you're at the top of an organization, whether you have lots of employees or just a few, maybe you're a solopreneur with no one around but your office cat, you'll frequently find that you don't really have anybody that you can talk to. Especially when it's within your own company. You're solo – going at it alone. You're not going to tell your employees your insecurities, that you have doubts, that you're debating about signing a new contract, or about a choice that you might make with marketing, or a new product, or any number of things that happen in the day-to-day.
There are hundreds of choices that business owners have to make. And there's an uncomfortable feeling of having to keep up appearances. Typically that of confidence. How can a team leader, or company leader, show their employees and coworkers that they have occasional doubts and insecurities? We are all human, and we all have these emotions from time to time. But there's a really difficult stigma, when you're at the top of an organization, to show these vulnerabilities. But here you are; solo, and in a silo.
In High Stakes Mastermind Groups we welcome those vulnerabilities at the times they occur. I had my own personal experience years ago when I was a member of my very first mastermind group. A friend of mine had invited me to be in this group and it was led by one of the members, which in and of itself is the first mistake because I strongly believe that all mastermind group should be led by an outside facilitator that isn't a part to the actual mastermind itself. But getting back to the story there was a day when I was under tremendous stress and I was feeling extremely emotional as a result of it. During the meeting I vented. I cried and I was emotional. I felt that of all people, these were the ones that would have my back.
Or so I thought. Imagine my shock when three days after that meeting I got a call from the so-called "leader", who told me that she and the other members had decided that they didn't want me in the group anymore. I was shocked and deeply, deeply, hurt. The only person who really didn't support that choice was the same person who had invited me to the group in the first place.
If you ever find yourself feeling like you would be stronger if you were part of a tribe, and that your business would benefit by having like-minded achievement-oriented individuals around you, who would accept you warts and all, give us a call: 480.646.2400 We'd love to hear from you.

On [[American Ninja Warrior 4]], 3 competitors ([[Paul Kasemir]], [[Brent Steffensen]], and [[Derek Nakamoto]]) could reach this obstacle, and Brent Steffensen was the only one who could complete it, and later finished Stage Two. On [[American Ninja Warrior 5]], 8 competitors could reach this obstacle, and only one competitor ([[Andres De La Rosa]]) failed. On [[American Ninja Warrior 6]], the gap between the array of chains and the landing platform was made larger than on American Ninja Warrior 4 and 5, requiring competitors must swing the chain to reach the landing platform. As the result, many competitors could not stick the dismount to the landing platform, got hung up on the chain, and forced to fall into the water (e.g. [[Travis Rosen]], [[Andrew Lowes]], and [[Chris Wilczewski]]).

You're extremely unlikely to encounter this old adjective relating to yesterday, it being one of the rarest in the language.
The Oxford English Dictionary has only two examples, one from a glossary of 1656, and my electronic searches have failed to find any more beyond the OED's other citation, which is from William Makepeace Thackeray's A Shabby Genteel Story of 1840: "Thrice a-week, at least, does Gann breakfast in bed — sure sign of pridian intoxication".
It has the most respectable antecedents — it's from Latin pri-, before, plus dies, day, and so belongs with diary, diurnal, journal, and journey, all of which can likewise be traced back to dies.
However, like an ineffectual political candidate, it was unable to muster enough support to be elected a permanent member of the English lexicon, and we must now consider it to be one of yesterday's words.

Washington crowdfunding law gives businesses new access to capital
Examining a new state law that went into effect on November 1 of this year
Thanks to a recent Washington law, Southwest Washington companies have a new way to raise money. As of November 1, certain Washington companies can issue equity to investors under the state's new crowdfunding law. Crowdfunding (the practice of raising money through small contributions from a larger number of people, typically via the Internet) has been around for years. Previously, companies could give crowd-sourced funders gifts or other rewards, but could not issue equity to donors without running afoul of securities laws.
The new law, enacted as part of the 2014 Washington Jobs Act, allows a broader group of investors to take an equity stake in the company they are helping to fund. This represents a significant change, as securities laws have traditionally permitted businesses to raise funds only through accredited investors (usually institutional investors or wealthy individuals).
Who can raise money?
Companies must be organized and doing business in Washington. Certain companies, such as development stage companies with no business plan and companies with complex capital structures, are excluded. Companies could use third-party portals to provide information to potential investors and otherwise facilitate the funding. Advertising the offering is permitted, but issuers must ensure that offers are presented only to Washington residents.
Who can invest?
Qualifying companies can raise up to $1 million during any 12-month period from either accredited or non-accredited investors residing in Washington. The aggregate amount of securities sold to an investor by any issuer during the 12-month period before the sale date must not exceed (a) the greater of $2,000 or 5 percent of the investor's annual income or net worth for investors with an annual income or net worth of less than $100,000, or (b) the greater of $100,000 or 10 percent of the investor's annual income or net worth for investors with annual income or net worth in excess of $100,000. "Net worth" excludes an investor's principal residence. It is the issuer's responsibility to confirm that investors are Washington residents and otherwise eligible. Although changes at the federal level are proposed, equity crowdfunding involving non-Washington issuers or investors, which is subject to federal law, is still prohibited.
Planning is key
Significant planning will be required for companies hoping to raise funds through equity crowdfunding. Companies must first complete a Crowdfunding Form with the Washington Department of Financial Institutions (DFI) that includes disclosures to investors, financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and other documentation. DFI must approve the offering before money can be accepted from investors. Each issuer must set a minimum fundraising target in advance, and until the company reaches the target, all investor funds must be held in escrow. Moreover, prospective issuers should carefully consider how crowdsourced investment will impact their ability to raise funds through more traditional means. For example, a significant crowdfunding investment one year may preclude or delay a company from obtaining a private investment from an accredited investor that same year.
There are a number of other restrictions and steps required to comply with the new law. For example, federal and state laws governing the sale and resale of securities, such as anti-fraud provisions and bad actor disqualifications, apply to securities sold through crowdfunding. It is recommended that prospective issuers consult with legal counsel before engaging in any offering.
Ongoing compliance
A company raising money through crowdfunding must make ongoing disclosures and quarterly reports (including information such as executive compensation and business plans) publicly available on the company's website so long as the securities sold are outstanding.
Although much is still uncertain about how widely the new crowdfunding law will be used, it presents a new opportunity for start-up and growth-stage businesses to access capital in a manner that has never been permitted before.

I just finished up my nails for today - and immediately wanted to share them.
I picked up a bottle of Formula X Dainty yesterday and really wanted to put it to use - but didn't know what I wanted to do with it. Then I remembered these water decals from LadyQueen and it was settled.
I also decided to re-shape my nails back to be more almond-y.. such a good decision!
I actually had a very easy time using these decals. The last set I used from LadyQueen applied upside down/backwards (so inside of having the image show up top, it would show the white backing, which I had to quickly flip before they settled on to my nail.. I expected these to do the same) - but no, super easy to apply. Just make sure that you apply them exactly as you want them to sit. These gems are unforgiving! They settle in suuuper quick and you cannot manipulate them.
I had pictured them being smaller, which, I could have cut out singular roses and applied them that way - I was going to do extra dots on the nails, but I just applied these in full, and I love it!
Also, I wanted to show a comparison shot of Dainty to White Matter to show that Dainty isn't just a white polish.. where White Matter is a perfect stark white, you can clearly see that Dainty is a tinge warmer. It isn't so in-your-face whiteness. I love it - and the name is perfect for it.
So.. what I am saying is that you do, in fact, need both.


There is absolutely no more suitable route to guide an argument instead of retain the issue with Statistics. Information work as the informative element of facts that you can use to defend an argument rationally. A statistic is often a numerical true worth that would be recorded as specific inference in the residents exactly where the studies have been done.

Overview: NATO and the New Arc of Crisis Conference
Madrid Spain, October 28-29, 2015
Day 1: Opening Ceremony and Keynote Address
During the opening ceremony, Permanent Representative at the Spanish Delegation to NATO, Ambassador Miguel Aguirre de Cárcer, set the tone for the conference. Amb. Aguirre de Cárcer characterized NATO's Arc of Crisis as a 'ring of fire', given the actions of ISIL in Syria and Iraq on NATO's Southern flank, events in Ukraine on NATO's Eastern Flank, Russia's militarization of the Arctic on the Northern flank, and falling defence budgets in Western countries. According to Amb. Aguirre de Cárcer, the main takeaway for the audience is that "Our security is indivisible and cannot be regionalized" and that "NATO achieves its goals better when it acts together."
NATO Deputy Secretary General Alexander Vershbow gave the keynote address, graciously thanking host nations Spain, Italy, and Portugal for their support of Exercise Trident Juncture. Amb. Vershbow stressed that the days in which Europe could over-rely on the United States are over and that security constitutes a goal, which benefits everyone in NATO. In fact, "If our neighbours are more stable, then we are more secure." Over the years, NATO's guiding vision has remained constant — a safe and strong Euro-Atlantic Community.
During the Q&A session, panelists touched on goals for the Warsaw Summit, where decisions made at the Wales Summit would be implemented. The theme of institutional adaptation was stressed, including reforming how we do business in the form of intelligence sharing and speeding up NATO's crisis response toolkit.
Day 2: The New strategic Environment and NATO's adapted toolkit
On Day 2 of the Conference, the President of Real Instituto Elcano, Emilio Lamo de Espinosa, presented the welcoming remarks. In keeping with the theme of change, Mr. Lamo de Espinosa emphasized that: "globalization is an everyday reality that we experience whether in smartphones or our cars, global refugee flows, or international terrorism." Mr. Lamo de Espinosa also warned that the Islamic threat is destabilizing the MENA region and threatening the security in the Mediterranean. Mr. Carlos Gaspar, Sr. researcher at the Portuguese Institute for International Relations concurred wholeheartedly. Mr. Gaspar quoted Laurent Fabius, noting that the complacency of the West in dealing with South precluded the conflict in the East. As such, he said, the new Arc of Crisis can be interpreted as an attempt to encircle European democracies.
Panel 1 was entitled "The new strategic environment and the implications for the Alliance-East and South." According to the panelists, given the interconnectedness of world events, the concept 'Arc of Crisis' is used as a framework to analyze the new strategic environment. Mr. Gaspar warned that: "Russia is intent on building a revisionist coalition, along with China and Iran – intent on consolidating its power." In terms of policy recommendations, panellists agreed that there should be strategic patience in dealing with Russia; there is a need to maintain Ukraine as an independent state, as neither part of NATO nor a satellite of Russia; NATO has an obligation to protect the Baltics; and NATO should work to limit divergences between US and Germany.

Next, General Hans-Lothar Domröse took the stage, as Commander of the Allied Joint Force Command in Brunssum. With enthusiasm and a powerful stage presence, General Domröse presented the details of Trident Juncture 2015. In particular, he explained the concept of A2/D2 ('Anti-Access/Area-Denial') to the audience, especially as it pertains to Kaliningrad but also how it can be applied to Crimea and Syria. According to General Domröse, the Alliance urgently needs to address the root causes of the crisis given that: "we have to help the people who flee, but we have to stop the fire — otherwise we are left with a catastrophic situation for the next generation."

Panel 2 was entitled "NATO's adapted toolbox – fit for purpose?' Jüri Luik, the Director of the International Center for Defence Studies in Tallinn, started off the discussion. Regarding the Baltic theatre, Mr. Luik emphasized the importance of political will and manpower, resources, and capabilities. Regarding reconciling different priorities, he noted that more solidarity is needed to address new challenges coming from the New Arc of Crisis. Mr. Luik warned against too much realpolitik and appeasement in the sense that: "too easily we say: 'I guess Russia has legitimate interests here.'

Next, Dr. Gerlinde Niehus, from the Head of Engagements Section of NATO Public Diplomacy Division, emphasized the importance of early prevention in crisis management, in the sense that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Furthermore, Ambassador Catherine Royle, Political Advisor to the Joint Forces Command Brunssum, touched on cybersecurity and how cyberattacks are able to achieve the same objectives as military action but in a non-kinetic way. Amb. Royle stressed that: "Things are changing in the High North as well. We've seen Russia re-launch its Arctic capabilities."
To round off the debate, Robert Gramer, Associate Director of the Transatlantic Security Initiative, from the Brent Scowcroft Center on International Security shared his policy recommendations for NATO with the audience. Mr. Gramer recommended that: first, the Alliance should identify what NATO should do and what it shouldn't do; second, NATO members that do not geographically neighbour each other have much to learn from each other; third, lessons from exercises from one region could be applied to others; and fourth, encourage NATO members to pull their weight outside of their own region.
In closing, Mr. Edmund C. Whiteside, Acting Secretary General for Public Diplomacy, wrapped up the conference. Mr. Whiteside discussed the impetus for maritime security, refugee crisis, human security, Track 2 diplomacy, and a model for de-confliction. He stressed that think-tanks have a crucial role in working with countries such as Libya, Egypt, and others in paving the way for better understanding. All in all, the Conference was a resounding success in stimulating debate, letting diverse voices speak, and addressing public misconceptions about NATO.
