Have you ever wondered why you are spending hours daily on the Internet without really working?
Some people assume that you are wasting your time when looking at cute cat images on Facebook.
Here are 10 reasons to use social media you might want to take into account to feel better about the time you spend on social sites.
2. Mingling with leaders in your field without having to meet them. I was able to debate online with Danny Sullivan of Search Engine Land among others. Why?
3. Getting links and visitors. When you are an avid social media user, people will link to you and visit your websites and profiles quite naturally. No linking schemes needed.
4. Building an audience. Ever tried to make people aware of something while nobody listened? It's like stepping on stage and performing when nobody is around.
Thus green activists are very active social media users. You need an audience to address in case you want a message to spread.
5. Sharing. We are social creatures. Sharing is one of the activities that define us. In the real world it is difficult to share as everything you give away – like sweets for instance – you can't have yourself.
In the digital realm sharing is almost natural. Jesus would love it, each time you share you multiply.
Thus sharing information is basically giving without having to give up anything beside time. You don't lose anything by giving away digital items.
6. Making the Web your home. Do you remember the term homepage? Now it's almost obsolete.
Where exactly is your homepage nowadays? Why is having only a homepage making you a loner hiding in the woods?
It's because nobody will notice your homepage when it's not linked or shared. The whole Web is your home.
That's why most people prefer to live in cities or at least villages instead of remote uninhabited areas.
7. Overcoming alienation: most educated people in the western hemisphere work in offices using computers.
Staring at a screen all day long and talking only a few times during short breaks is not natural at all. It makes you feel bad.
While you should strive to stay in contact with real people you can overcome the worst Web worker blues by socializing with peers on the social web.
8. Peer review is one of the most practical reasons to use social media. When 100 other people appreciate a link you shared you know you can't be wrong.
Even when your boss, spouse, children, class mates, coworkers assume you are insane at the same time.
It is much more difficult to find true peers in real life as they are often scattered throughout the world.
I socialize with people from the Americas, Asia, Australia and even Africa online. That would be impossible in real life on such a scale.
9. Love of humanity! Yes this one is very pathetic but we humans tend to depend on others in our larger family.
People who claim that we are natural born egoists err because we can only exist in a social arena. Nobody is an island.
It hurts to read about wars in Asia or Africa just because there are humans who get killed even though you never met them in person.
Now the Internet allows you to reach potentially millions of people by uploading a video to YouTube for instance.
10. Why not? Everybody does it just like watching movies or brushing their teeth. Social media part of our culture. You don't need to feel guilty.
Now be careful. Just because there are at least 10 reasons to use social media does not mean you should spend all your time on Facebook, Pinterest or Twitter.
Always on is not a way of life. It's agony. Combine social media activity with actual social life with real people you meet in person.
Keep your life balanced and do not forget that social media are tools provided by companies. Social media are not your life, they are an enhancement of it.

Great list. Social media also can be a HUGE waste of time. People should limit themselves, otherwise productivity can seriously go out the window!
It doesn't take much effort either. You should be keeping your radar screen open anyway, if you want to stay on top of the evolving SEO world. So instead of lurking, just drop a comment here and there. Authors like them and others may find what you say useful.
Great post as usual.In my case, I find myself glued to SU most times.I have experienced all the benefits that you have mentioned in this post and there is no going back.
Well thanks guys, appreciate your feedback. Hope you can use even more of my advice in the future.
Great list. Social also can be a HUGE waste of time. People should limit themselves, otherwise productivity can go out the window!

Artist creates life-size sculptures using chewed bubble *pics*

Artist creates life-size sculptures using chewed bubblegum
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/4246750/Artist-creates-life-size-sculptures-using-chewed-bubblegum.html
The artist Maurizio Savini has created a series of sculptures from chewed bubblegum including a buffalo and a bear, which have been shown at Testori UK Gallery, London.
Maurizio Savini's intricate works are created using thousands of pieces of the bright pink gum, and have sold for as much as £40,000 each.
They include a life-size buffalo, a grizzly bear and suited businessmen suspended in gymnastic poses.
Savini, 39, has been using the unusual material, known in his native Italy as 'American Gum' after it arrived during World War II, for the past 10 years.
His sticky sculptures have been exhibited all over the world, including London, Edinburgh, Rome and Berlin, where they have sold for as much.
The artist, based in Rome, said: "The reason I like to use chewing gum is because it seemed to me an amazingly versatile material compared to those used by the traditional arts such as painting.
"Despite its history of it belonging to popular culture, chewing gum does not have a statute of its own within institutional art.
"I believe that in my work on this material is redeemed and acquires a capacity and it has an expressive dignity of its own.
"I work the chewing gum when it is warm and manipulate it with a knife just like some traditional material like clay.
"The most important step is the fixing of the sculptures with formaldehyde and antibiotic."
Art critic Mario Codognato, from Pastificio Cerere gallery, Italy, said Savini's gum sculptures embodied the essence of youth.
He wrote "Maurizio's work reminds of the sensual act of chewing, the voluptuous warmth of rebelling saliva, the artificial and secretly aseptic fragrance which spreads from the mouth as a promise and missed kiss.
"Applying all this to the power and energy of the sculpture and its history causes a short circuit having the capacity of turning the lucid into stately and vice versa.

Amazing. Very imaginative.
I once saw pics of an artist that used dried Ramen noodles for his architectural sculptures. It was really cool.
fall is here yay!!
WOW!!!! That is beautiful
Junkenpo
very artistic.... i wonder, does he chew all that gum himself, or does he use a masticating machine?

BagsRmyLife
That's crazy!! In a good way.
jessie_mags
That is so crazy. My husband's cousin's wife (long, I know) does this same thing in NYC. She made a sculpture of a pig and her father out of chewing gum.
http://www.melissamartin.info/8.1
She created the pig, and butchered it according to USDA choice cut guidelines.
She also did her father, and sold him by the pound. Prices ranged from $50-300, I believe.
Very cool, I can't imagine chewing that much gum.
wonderwoman9
wow those are awesome! some people are so talented...unfortunately i'm not one of them.

That is amazing. One thing the artist can be sure of, and that is no one is going to touch his art.

Ew...
It's also gross on entirely different level because it looks like ground meat, especially with the bear sculpture.

Where you can get mental health support this Christmas
Christmas can be stressful and challenging, but several mental health organisations will be working around the clock to offer support.
Beyond Blue lead clinical adviser Grant Blashki says the organisation has seen a large increase in demand during a tough year, with families separated and people coming under financial pressure.
He recommends people take care of themselves in coming weeks by accepting that 2020 was difficult and managing their expectations for the festive season.
"More broadly, if you are someone that experiences depression or anxiety, keep up your regular routines, like regular exercise, trying to get enough sleep … and don't overdo the alcohol, that's a bit of a trap," Dr Blashki said.
For those who are struggling with their mental health, Beyond Blue will be providing support via its phone line (1300 22 46 36). Online, moderated forums relating to various issues are also available at beyondblue.org.au.
Other services include Lifeline, which will continue offering round-the-clock support over the phone (13 11 14). The organisation also has a text service (0477 13 11 14) available from midday to midnight AEDT, and an online chat service running from 7pm to midnight AEDT at lifeline.org.au.
Young Australians aged between five and 25 have access to Kids Helpline, run by Yourtown, with chief executive Tracy Adams encouraging them to get in touch if they want to talk to someone. The service is operating 24/7 at 1800 55 1800 or online at kidshelpline.com.au.
"You don't have to feel alone. You can connect to a counsellor via phone, email and web counselling with no issue too big or small," Ms Adams said in a statement.
"There is no shame in seeking help from our free service."
Domestic violence support
For those dealing with issues relating to domestic violence and sexual abuse, the 1800 RESPECT national telehealth service will also be operating 24 hours a day.
While anyone in immediate danger should call Triple Zero (000), they can contact 1800 RESPECT over the phone (1800 737 732) or via the online chat (1800respect.org.au) to speak with a qualified counsellor.
"You are not alone," national program manager Melonie Sheehan said. "There is plenty of support available. You can contact 1800 RESPECT wherever you are, at any time.
"We can provide information, support, counselling, safety planning, and direct you to local or state and territory-basic crisis services as required."
Ms Sheehan said 1800 RESPECT could also help those worried that someone they know may be experiencing domestic or family violence, as the counsellors know how best to support a person in that situation.
"The right support from family, friends and neighbours, and colleagues too, can make a huge difference to someone who is experiencing or is at risk of experiencing domestic violence," she said.
The Men's Referral Service also provides advice for men on domestic violence and can be contacted on 1300 766 491.

Nina & Col Pre Wedding Photography at Raby Castle – We met Nina and Col almost 2 whole years ago, we can't believe that their wedding day has finally arrived and that tomorrow they will be tying the knot with their daughter Josie as their flower girl at Rockliffe Hall.
They aptly picked Raby Castle as Colin's surname is Raby, this was another first first us for a pre wedding shoot and we were definitely spoilt with all the amazing views and lovely spots for photos. Col & Nina made us both smile as they had been to Raby Castle previously and Josie had been taking lots of photos of them both so they had already had a practise run.
We hope that they have an amazing day tomorrow!

An outlaw editor in the endgame of the Indian empire: F.W. Wilson's radicalisation of the Pioneer, 1928-29
John Tulloch*, Jane Chapman
The career in India of the Fleet Street journalist F.W. Wilson as editor of The Pioneer (1928-29) is a fascinating episode in the endgame of empire. Catapulted into the editorship of this reactionary colonial newspaper by a British management anxious to rescue its waning fortunes, Wilson sought to widen its appeal beyond a colonial British readership by embracing an anti-government, campaigning agenda which would enlist Indian middle-class audiences. This paper assesses the evidence for Wilson's radicalisation of The Pioneer's editorial stance in the context of India's freedom struggle, and the extent to which new editorial methods and approaches were introduced. It explores Wilson's contacts with leading Indian politicians, his efforts to Indianise the content of the paper, the success of this editorial strategy in attracting advertising and key episodes which brought about The Pioneer's outright conflict with the government of India and his removal as editor.

Iran says installing new uranium centrifuges


"The bill requires that the head of the Government Accountability Office then review the report to determine whether the Commission's recommendations are likely to work and what they will cost. And then — the process stops. "The Commission shall terminate 30 days after the date on which the report is submitted," says the bill.
"There is nothing about the Commission going from "being an advisory panel to a policy-making one." The strict trigger that Gang sources advertised as being in the bill just isn't there.
"True, the bill does create a $2B pot of money for the DHS to use to carry out the commission's recommendations–but there's nothing that compels the DHS to actually spend it on all of them, or any of them, let alone to actually achieve the "90 percent apprehension" goal.
"Nor, if the goal isn't reached, does the bill delay the issuance of green cards to the already-legalized former illegals (as Rubio at one point seems to suggest to Levin).
Whether the statements of Senator Rubio were intentionally misleading, or whether he is simply being led around by the nose by staff or other senators on the plain language of the bill, what is deeply troubling is that by appearing on the Mark Levin Show, repeating falsehoods(whether or not he knew them to be falsehoods,) Senator Rubio has done much to contribute to the lack of ill will and distrust over this legislation. Whatever other supposed virtues this legislation may have, it's wrecked by the propaganda being spread in this instance by Senator Rubio.
@conncarroll We haven't had a cohort of people living permanently in US without full rights of citizenship since slavery.
If this is the attitude of Rubio's spokesman, one must wonder about the strategy being employed by Rubio. The claim that immigrant are akin to slaves is a ridiculous notion, and frankly, Rubio should fire Conant. It leaves open the question as to whether Senator Rubio might endorse such notions, and while I doubt that to be the case, it won't help the Senator's cause. Likewise, it isn't helpful when one sees a conservative senator going around arm-in-arm with Charles "Chuck-U" Schumer(D-NY,) one has every reason to believe that Rubio may have relied on the characterization of the bill provided by the likes of Schumer. I wonder if Rubio isn't being made a patsy, but then again, I'm not sure it matters because there is something disturbing about a purportedly "conservative" senator relying on the explanations of the legislation of anybody. Why isn't he reading the language?
Schumer has taken a slightly different approach, going on the offense and claiming that some would use the occasion of the Boston Marathon Bombing to stall or obstruct the Immigration Reform legislation. I must say that given the disclosures about the actual provisions of the bill revealed over the last week, I sincerely hope some conservative senators will do precisely that. It makes no sense to pretend that this ridiculous immigration bill will accomplish anything but to make our nation less secure, and the Boston bombing clearly exposes that for the average citizen. The dishonesty being employed by proponents of this legislation is very much like an Obama campaign, and that's all the more despicable when you think that a rising star in the Republican party may have diminished himself into nothing more than a flash in the pan. That's a sad prospect, one that could be headed-off if these politicians would simply read the legislation they're advocating. Senator Rubio owes us an explanation for the incomprehensibly misleading statements made on Levin's show, but one probably won't be forthcoming. Draw your own conclusions as to the reason(s).
Leave it to Breitbart.com to dig up this clip from 1995 of Eric Holder explaining how he would like to use the media, and the public relations outfits in Washington DC to push a new theme on the evils of guns in such a way as to mimic what's been done with cigarettes. His point was that it would be best if young people, particularly young men, never had the desire to have or carry(keep and bear) guns. It's typical of the left to believe that a PR campaign can fix anything, and of course, to some degree, it probably works on the sort of mind-numbed robots who tend to vote for leftists, but I don't think Holder made much progress on this. On the other hand, for all his talk about the evils of guns, he sure didn't seem to mind putting guns into the hands of narco-terrorists in Mexico through the Justice Department's Fast and Furious and Operation Gun-Walker.
This is typical of the left. "Brainwash!" This man actually wanted to "brainwash" Americans almost two decades ago, and he wonders why his testimony before Congress comes under scrutiny? Who else is he trying to "brainwash," and with what? Leftists are dangerous precisely because their ideas represent a threat to American liberty. We need more than the sort of bland change represented by Mitt Romney. We need a reversal.
On Wednesday evening, Breitbart.com revealed a video on Hannity that provides clear proof of Barack Obama's radical ties. In this case, the radical in question is Professor Derrick Bell, who was the first African-American to obtain tenure as a Law Professor at Harvard University. He was also a radical, and ideological model for Barack Obama. The most important thing to note may be that the video was hidden through the 2008 presidential campaign so that Barack Obama would never be called to answer for the association with Prof. Bell. The reason they wanted to hide it is clear: It shows a warm embrace between an acolyte and a mentor, the former showing his love and devotion to the latter.
This video is just the first installment of what promises to be a heavy season of vetting for Mr. Obama if Breitbart's crew is able to pull this off in the wake of Andrew Breitbart's death. So far, Joel Pollak and the rest of the staff writers have been churning out work with a remorselessly driven, dedicated fervor. I think Andrew Breitbart assembled one of the best outfits in the business, despite critics who have tried everything possible to discredit the organization. I expect it will worsen. In this case, BuzzFeed actually released a highly-edited version of the video hours ahead of the release, all to give a chance to cause it to be covered differently than it might have been. It was a way of trying to soften its impact.
This is hardly the last bit of video we will see from Breitbart.com in vetting Barack Obama. Andrew may be gone, but his fighting spirit lives on in all the wonderful folks there who seek to bring you all the important news few outlets in the mainstream media will cover.
Breitbart has the story: Governor Sarah Palin Sends Letter to Crown/Random House – Warns not to destroy documents ahead of potential defamation suit.
That's right, save all those emails over there at Random House! Oh, and I can think of a few bloggers who are probably puckering right now too. Do you know what I'm saying folks? I can think of around a half-dozen of them or more who are probably scrubbing their sites right now if they're smart. It won't save them, since they don't own the servers, but it should be interesting nonetheless.
Yep, justice is coming for smear-mongers.


In this article we will talk about this kind of fitness. Like walking on the stairs. We will analyze the advantages and disadvantages of this method, as well as talk about the technique and the effectiveness of such exercises.
Usually walking is not considered as a serious load, as a result of which a person stays idle. Walking is much more useful than many people think; walking changes every life for the better.

An obituary for the 2015 Chicago White Sox
A pair of big-name pitchers was not enough for a postseason berth on the south side of Chicago.

Share All sharing options for: An obituary for the 2015 Chicago White Sox
Rick Osentoski-USA TODAY Sports
A 2-1 loss to the Mew York Yankees on Saturday meant that the Chicago White Sox were mathematically eliminated from postseason contention in 2015. Chicago acquired veteran right-hander Jeff Samardzija prior to the season, pairing him with lefty Chris Sale at the top of their rotation, but it was not enough to overcome an offense that was last in baseball in fWAR. Here are some of the highlights of a season that has the White Sox currently at 74-83:
The acquisition of Jeff Samardzija doesn't work out
Chicago's big move of the offseason was the acquisition of starting pitcher Jeff Samardzija from the Athletics in a trade for a package that featured infielder Marcus Semien and catcher Josh Phegley. Unfortunately for the White Sox, Samardzija had his worst full season in the big leagues in 2015, with a 4.96 ERA and 4.23 FIP in 214 innings, striking out fewer than seven batters per nine innings. Not only were Samardzija's numbers poor, but the White Sox, already out of contention at that point, failed to move the pending free agent at the trade deadline.
Chris Sale piles up the strikeouts
A bright spot for the White Sox this season was the performance of southpaw Chris Sale, especially the stretch in May and June that saw him equal Pedro Martinez's big league record with double-digit strikeouts in eight consecutive starts. Sale pitched 60 innings in the eight starts, striking out 97 hitters and posting a 1.80 ERA. Sale has struck out 267 batters total in 201⅔ innings this season.
Chicago's offense comes up short
The White Sox's offense was woeful in 2015, with their hitters ranking last in baseball with 3.6 fWAR and in the bottom five in the league with a .690 OPS and 87 wRC+. The only White Sox hitters with a wRC+ above 93 were Jose Abreu, who hit .292/.349/.503 with a team-high 29 home runs, and Adam Eaton, who hit .285/.358/.429 with 49 extra-base hits. Given the lack of production from the rest of the offense, Chicago knows where it has to improve going into 2016.

Timeless Designs: Why Are Shaker Kitchens So Popular?
If you've spent more than a minute on our website here at Kitchen Design Centre, you may well have seen us talking about Shaker kitchens. First invented hundreds of years ago by a religious group called the Shakers (fancy that), it's still widely used today by kitchen designers across the world. So what makes the design so enduring, and why does everyone love it?
In New York, they settled in self-sufficient communities, where they made furniture to sell on and support themselves. They quickly developed a reputation for their simple yet effective carpentry, and their humble but firm design philosophies eventually evolved into the Shaker kitchen style.
What Makes A Shaker Kitchen?
A Shaker kitchen is three things: simple, functional and high-quality. The Shakers believed in uncluttered, open-plan living spaces. There were no frills or unnecessary extras – everything in their kitchens was there for a reason, and they believed that every object in the home should have a function. Their carpentry followed the same principles, with humble, unornamented designs that were appealing in their simplicity. That doesn't mean they just knocked them together, though – every piece of furniture was a handmade labour of love from real wood, with the final products famous for their functionality and quality craftsmanship. The Shakers also used simple wood-turned knobs for their cabinetry and wooden worktops (although nowadays there are naturally lots of other materials to choose from). As for colours, the Shakers were characteristically modest in their palettes too, generally choosing cream, muted green, pink or pale grey-blue.
Why Do We Love Shaker Kitchens?
Lots of reasons! Their versatility, for one. The modest style of Shaker kitchens leaves a lot open to interpretation. That means that Shaker kitchens can look equally fabulous whether modern or traditional, with a neutral colour palette or accented with an eye-catching shade that really pops! Shaker kitchens are beautifully understated, and their simple clean lines are almost universally attractive. So as well as taking advantage of their stunning styles, they also give you room to put your own stamp of individuality on them!
The Shakers coined some fantastic design principles too, which is just another reason why their kitchens are so popular. Their philosophies of a place for everything and a slightly austere style stops your kitchen from becoming too cluttered with odds and ends, ensuring that you only ever have what you need. Their emphasis on functionality, too, is something that will never fall out of fashion, no matter what trends come and go.
As you can probably tell, we can't get enough of Shaker kitchens here at Kitchen Design Centre. If you'd like us to work some of our magic on yours, we'd love to! Just pop into our Manchester showroom to have a chat with any one of our designers – or, if you're not quite that local, we've got a range of showrooms across the North West. Whichever one you choose, you can count on a friendly, professional service – with a healthy dose of enthusiasm to boot!

A magnificent 18,327-square-foot estate in Pittsburg, Texas, that belonged to the founder of Pilgrim's Pride is up for sale via an auction. Starting price: $2,999,999.
Lonnie "Bo" Pilgrim passed away in 2017; his wife, Patty, passed late last year. The Pilgrims' three children knew that selling such a highly specialized estate built on Bo's chicken fortune — 43-plus acres located 125 miles east of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex — would be a challenge. So they opted to do what more and more owners of luxury homes are doing these days: put it up for auction.
The auction is now online and ends on October 25.
Dubbed "Cluckingham Palace," the estate is on South Greer Boulevard, the main road of Pittsburg. The town of Pittsburg, population about 4,500, while best known as Pilgrim's home, is also the home of racing legend Carroll Shelby and the birthplace of James R. Cavender's Boot City. It was named after William Harrison Pitts.
The Pilgrim mansion has six bedrooms, 10 and a half baths, exercise room, formals, quarters, media room, and chickens etched in every corner. There's also a huge indoor swimming pool and spa that was patterned after the famous Greenbrier Spa in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.
"Mrs. Pilgrim visited the Greenbrier and phoned Richard Drummond Davis from the spa that she wanted their indoor pool to look just like the Greenbrier's," says listing agent Kyle Crews with Allie Beth Allman & Associates.
Drummond Davis designed the home, built by Steve Thornton for an estimated $15 million, in 1992-1993. The mansion and grounds are now valued at more than $8 million.
The heavily wooded grounds include trails, statues, smooth green fields beckoning a soccer game or a horse hunt, and a pond brimming with fish.
Cluckingham Palace, so named by the locals, was literally right off this main drag, but elegantly gated and set back from the road with those vast acres behind it. The Pilgrims lived in a relatively modest 1965-era home on three acres about three houses down from Cluckingham prior to building it — that was where they raised their three children.
The legendary Lonnie "Bo" Pilgrim made his fortune off chickens. Born in Pine, Texas on May 8, 1928, he was the fourth of seven children and was called Bo by relatives. His father owned one of the only two stores in the east Texas town. Bo's older brother, Aubrey, bought the feed store in Pittsburg, which was the beginning of their empire. The company grew into a poultry products powerhouse, supplying chickens to everyone from Kentucky Fried Chicken to Walmart to Wendy's. At its height, the company had operations in 17 states and Mexico.
You've likely already read about the property. What the articles do not convey is the incredible detail of the home, the cleanliness — every corner was spotless, as if it were brand new, fresh from the contractor — and the vastness.
There are chickens and roosters everywhere, from the kitchen tiles to the laundry room wet hanging rod. They were in the carpets, the filigrees, chiseled into the elaborate ceiling molding trim.
The home is huge, but the rooms still feel warm and cozy, with the exception of the indoor pool which really did remind me of The Greenbrier.
The guest bedrooms looked just like those in your grandmother's house — floral, but with full marble en suite baths. Patty Pilgrim's master bath alone is a sea of rare pink granite.
Carol Bell-Walton, a Dallas resident with Pittsburg roots — her grandfather was the town mailman — has a cabin in Pittsburg. She tells me what a fantastic town it is. There is a winery, Los Pinos Ranch vineyards, there is a Kangaroo farm in nearby Mt. Vernon (not public, a vet raises them), and there are lakes everywhere most notably Lake Bob Sandlin.
Two state parks are within 20 miles of Pittsburg, named for William Morris Pitts. But Pittsburg's biggest claim to fame is its hotlinks, Witness Park, and the Prayer Tower, which the Pilgrims gifted to the town: four carved bells imported from France which chime hourly.
The Pilgrims were also among the original owners at The Mansion Residences in Dallas. Kyle Crews and Sanders Avrea sold their luxury Classical French condominium the same week they listed it, Erin Mathews brought the buyer: it never made MLS. When they opened their home for a charity home tour, Kyle says the two remained at their front door graciously greeting guests throughout the event.

It doesn't matter if you are a commercial vehicle driver or a business owner with a vehicle fleet. Any person who uses commercial vehicles should consider commercial auto insurance. The insurance protects your business or organization from liability should an incident causing injury and property damage happen.
Some businesses are required by law to have liability insurance. A business that uses drivers for delivery or transportation, such as a food delivery service or shuttle service, is in this category. A commercial driver may also need commercial vehicle insurance for protection if fined or sued. If you are unsure about how to proceed, then speak with an insurance agent.
Types of commercial auto insurance policies include liability, uninsured motorist, under-insured motorist, comprehensive, and collision protection. There are often optional clauses you can add to your plan. Perhaps liability insurance is the most important, as it pays for damage when you are the at-fault party.
Uninsured motorist insurance and underinsured motorist insurance provides financial coverage when an accident takes place. It is for when the other driver does not have insurance or not enough insurance to cover your damages.
Comprehensive insurance is for the cost of damages resulting from theft, natural disasters, vandalism, and bad weather. Collision insurance pays for repair costs if damages are caused during a collision.
Commercial auto insurance can save a business or organization. With the policy in place, you won't have to worry about spending all your money on repairs and other expenses. Your insurance company will even handle claims made against you by third parties. To learn more about the standards required in your community, contact an insurance agent.

In June 2017, Amazon announced that it would acquire Whole Foods, a high-end supermarket chain with over 400 stores, for $13.4 billion.[14][41] The acquisition was seen by media experts as a move to strengthen its physical holdings and challenge Walmart's supremacy as a brick and mortar retailer. This sentiment was heightened by the fact that the announcement coincided with Walmart's purchase of men's apparel company Bonobos.[42] On August 23, 2017, Whole Foods shareholders, as well as the Federal Trade Commission, approved the deal.[43][44]

Nail your timing. While it can be valuable to be one of the first in line for limited-quantity products, if you're going to shop online on Black Friday, timing may not actually matter all that much. According to data from deal-finding browser extension Honey, online purchases spike well after sunrise. "On Black Friday, spending peaked at 11 a.m. PST in Los Angeles and at 12 p.m. EST in New York City," says Kelly Parisi, Vice President of Communications at Honey.
On July 5, 1994, Bezos initially incorporated the company in Washington State with the name Cadabra, Inc.[21] He later changed the name to Amazon.com, Inc. a few months later, after a lawyer misheard its original name as "cadaver".[22] In September 1994, Bezos purchased the URL Relentless.com and briefly considered naming his online store Relentless, but friends told him the name sounded a bit sinister. The domain is still owned by Bezos and still redirects to the retailer.[23][24]

While Amazon was expanding into streaming video, hardware, and cloud computing, it simultaneously maintained an aggressive push into even faster shipping and all new retail formats. The company started its same-day shipping initiative, Prime Now, in New York City in 2014, and it's since expanded it to dozens of cities around the world. Around the same time, Amazon began a program called AmazonFresh to stock and ship groceries — including vegetables and refrigerated and freezer products — that it used as a way to stay competitive with traditional big-box retailers like Walmart and Target and Uber-like logistics newcomers like Instacart. The company now sells its own line of meal kits through Fresh to rival ready-to-cook options from companies like Blue Apron and Plated.
Now when you shop with Amazon.com, a portion of your purchase will help support the work of the American Institute for Cancer Research.

Since its founding, the company has attracted criticism and controversy from multiple sources over its actions. These include: supplying law enforcement with facial recognition surveillance tools;[154] forming cloud computing partnerships with the CIA;[155] luring customers away from the site's brick and mortar competitors;[156] placing a low priority on warehouse conditions for workers; participating in anti-unionization efforts; remotely deleting content purchased by Amazon Kindle users; taking public subsidies; claiming that its 1-Click technology can be patented; engaging in anti-competitive actions and price discrimination;[157] and reclassifying LGBT books as adult content.[158][159] Criticism has also concerned various decisions over whether to censor or publish content such as the WikiLeaks website, works containing libel and material facilitating dogfight, cockfight, or pedophile activities. In December 2011, Amazon faced a backlash from small businesses for running a one-day deal to promote its new Price Check app. Shoppers who used the app to check prices in a brick-and-mortar store were offered a 5% discount to purchase the same item from Amazon.[160] Companies like Groupon, eBay and Taap.it countered Amazon's promotion by offering $10 off from their products.[161][162] The company has also faced accusations of putting undue pressure on suppliers to maintain and extend its profitability. One effort to squeeze the most vulnerable book publishers was known within the company as the Gazelle Project, after Bezos suggested, according to Brad Stone, "that Amazon should approach these small publishers the way a cheetah would pursue a sickly gazelle."[122] In July 2014, the Federal Trade Commission launched a lawsuit against the company alleging it was promoting in-app purchases to children, which were being transacted without parental consent.[163]
If your new dress doesn't fit right or a gadget arrives broken, Amazon accepts returns on most sales within 30 days of delivery. In general, third-party sellers offer the same policy, although you'll usually have to pay for return shipping to the seller unless the seller advertises free returns, whereas Amazon often provides a prepaid shipping label for its own returns. The cost of the return may be subtracted from the refund if the item was returned for some other reason than Amazon's mistake.
When it comes to which shopping holiday will save you more—Black Friday vs. Cyber Monday—for years, Black Friday dominated, a tried and true tradition for many deal-saavy families. However, as retailers have rolled out sales on Thanksgiving (and even earlier) and more people have gravitated to online shopping, Cyber Monday has become a big draw for those who want to forgo the early wake-up call and long lines, and shop from the comfort of their couch.

By TLex Here's a diver you don't see too often, which is more the pity because it's a favorite of mine. The Scafodat 500 belongs to Eberhard & Co.'s professional diving-watch collection and as such has a water-resistance of 500 meters.
It boasts a number technical features, which help give the watch its unique character. Let's start with the dial, which has three (four if we count the one that is obscured by the date window) massive Eterna KonTiki-style luminous markers (3, 6, 9 and 12).
Then there' an oversized crown located at 4 o'clock that is equipped with a special security device that controls an inner rotating divers bezel for measuring dive time with a 60-min scale. This is protected by a non-reflecting Sapphire crystal.
In the middle of the case's left lateral side, there's an automatic Helium escape valve. You can't see it here, but it has a quite a cool design with three concentric circles - another nice detail. Under the hood beats a mechanical automatic movement.
The caseback, which is engraved with a Seahorse motif is secured by 6 screws. It has a special 'Chicane' bracelet in steel that is equipped with an innovative patented system to lengthen it. The bracelet is then equipped with the 'Déclic' deployment clasp, which is also patented.
If we take the look of the caseback and the clasp, the Scafodat 500 has imho one of the most attractive and interesting looking rear ends in the business! What do you think?

In a watershed moment for animal rights, Taiwan has banned the practice of consuming cats or dogs and instituted stiff fines and jail time for those found to be involved with the trade of such animals for meat.
Whether the island nation's Asian neighbors will follow suit is yet to be seen, but the fact remains that the Animal Protection Act amendments approved by Taiwan's government are some of the most progressive and sweeping measures a country in Southeast Asia has ever put forth in establishing rights for domestic animals.
Those found guilty of buying, selling, or eating dog or cat meat in Taiwan face between NT $50,000 (USD $1,635.86) and NT $2 million (USD $65,434.32) in fines. Repeat offenders could face up to five years of imprisonment as well. Also included in the amendments are provisions against walking or running pets alongside motorized vehicles, another popular practice among pet owners that has come under strict scrutiny.
"Previously, the Animal Protection Act only covered the slaughter and sale of dog and cat meat, but this amendment specifically prohibiting the actual consumption of dog meat today is welcome," Jill Robinson, founder and CEO of Animals Asia Foundation, told CNN.
According to Taiwan's Central News Agency, violators of the new amendments could find their names, photos and charges published online and in newspapers.
Support for the legislation isn't in short supply, and public outrage toward the torturous conditions animals sold in the meat trade face has increased in recent years with each new report. Groups like Humane Society International and Animals Asia have been working tirelessly to rescue dogs and cats from illegal operations, with the long-term goal of prompting legislation.
"Taiwan's progressive ban is part of a growing trend across Asia to end the brutal dog meat trade," said Humane Society International's Wendy Higgins.
Almost half of the 3,221 individuals Animals Asia interviewed in 2015 said they thought killing and eating dogs and cats should be punishable by law.
"The public too are becoming increasingly sympathetic with the plight of dogs, recognizing the criminality behind the industry, the enormous benefits that dogs bring to society and the comfort they give to the families they belong to," Robinson told CNN.
Even the president of Taiwan, Tsai Ing-wen, has a close relationship with animals. Her two cats were commonly seen in her candid photos during her election campaign, according to CBS. After winning the election in May 2016, Ing-wen adopted three dogs.
As soon as the amendments are signed by the Taiwanese Cabinet and Presidential Office, likely before the end of April, the new laws will take effect.
As the dogs and cats of Taiwan breathe a long-awaited sigh of relief, efforts to establish similar protections for dogs and cats throughout the rest of Asia are still ongoing. Click the button below to see how you can lend your voice and help!
Each year, tens of thousands of dogs and cats are tortured and killed in the world's worst "celebration" of the summer solstice.
The Yulin government claims to care about public opinion, yet refuses to end this tragic massacre. Let's call on Guangxi Zhuang's Chairman Chen Wu, who oversees the Yulin government, to unilaterally put an end to this horrible tradition.

NY has a hockey champion in Manhattan...and they partied at Rick's Cabaret
Rick's Cabaret Strippers Party with NY Hockey Champs
Tradition has a new home in Manhattan
New York, NY -- While the Stanley Cup playoffs are in full swing, upscale gentlemen's club Rick's Cabaret New York is celebrating the victory of the Manhattan Roller Hockey League's Greylock team, which wears the Rick's Cabaret logo on its uniforms. After winning the Tier 3 championship, the team partied in style at Rick's Cabaret.
"The team wears the Rick's Cabaret logo and colors proudly," purred Rick's Cabaret Girl Emma. "We really wanted them to win, so we gave them the greatest incentive ever. We told them, 'if you win, you get to come to the club and we'll take our clothes off for you. Ha ha!' I think that did the trick!
"We had such an awesome night. The champagne was flowing, the party was non-stop, and everyone had a blast. Rick's Cabaret's Franklin Edwards, who's recognized as one of NY's finest chefs, even made a special menu for the night."
"We're making the same offer to the Stanley Cup winning team," cooed Rick's Cabaret Girl Zoe. "Whoever wins, bring the cup here and we will throw you hottest party of all time."
Named "The #1 Strip Club in New York" by Playboy, Rick's Cabaret is the club of choice, and the official gentlemen's club of Bob's Blitz, for an upscale clientele including business professionals, numerous celebrities, and pro athletes from all the major sports. It features a gourmet steakhouse and balcony seating on its second floor, deluxe Sky Boxes on its third floor, and a Roof Top Cigar Lounge and Garden.

Q: jQuery event.prevent only at # I've got this function:

$(document).ready(function(){

    $("nav a").click(function(evn){

        evn.preventDefault();
        $('html,body').scrollTo(this.hash, this.hash);
    });

});

My navigation got some links and some "#"ankers.
When I add the function, all the links don't work, how can I change the function, so that the function only works when the href="" got an "#" in it?
I hope you can help me.
Edit: is an an example: https://jsfiddle.net/cq4krz0w/

A: You could use an attribute contains selector to only target <a> tags with href attributes that contain an anchor :
// Only target <a> elements with an href that contains an anchor
$("nav a[href*='#']").click(function(){

    // Scroll using your preferred approach here
});

You could use a starts-with selector a[href^='#'] if you prefer.

A: In your existing code you can put check on event.target.attributes.href.value and detect if it contains '#'
