I have just received a picture from our happy customer Kasey and it literally made my day!
I wish Kasey and her husband a happy marriage!
When Georgianne modeled for me at my very first fashion show in San Francisco in 2011 – I knew that some day I was going to make her her wedding dress!
It was the fashion show with RAW ARTISTS in San Francisco in June 2011 at 111 Minna.
I hadn't met any of my models and I was not able to fit the dresses on them prior to the show.
When Georgianne walked into the make-up room I knew that she was going to rock this dress!
Georgianne modeled for me many times since then – always gorgeous and radiant!
And when my dear Georgy asked me to make her dream wedding dress for her I was incredibly happy to finally be able to use all my creativity and skills to make her wish come true!
Georgianne was a perfect Bride-to-be.
She talked to me about her wedding theme, her favorite colors and showed me inspirations for her bridal gown.
The wedding was going to take place at Cabo in October 2013.
And so, I designed a bridal gown with lace overlay and mermaid shape skirt, although I was not yet sure how I was going to create the texture on the skirt.
Well, the dress in this picture is NOT her wedding dress 🙂 This one is the dress from that fashion show in 2011.
Want to see the dress?
I will show you the process of making the dress in my next couple of blogs. Don't forget to follow us!

Why there can only be one Madonna: A look at the reigning Queen of Pop's legacy as she celebrates turning 62
Thanks to her talent, charisma, reinvention and chutzpah, the ageless Madonna paved the path for an entire generation of stars, be it men, women, and everyone else on the gender spectrum
By Brian Polson
Published on : 20:30 PST, Aug 15, 2020
Madonna (Getty Images)
Pop queen, disco diva, gyrating virgin, rhinestone cowgirl, sex siren - the music icon Madonna is all of these and so much more. The revered queen of pop turns 62 on August 16 and even in 2020, almost four decades since her debut, pop culture's biggest names are still taking notes from her. Madonna is undeniably a living legend and a pioneer of reinvention, with her latest avatar being Madame X in her 14th studio album of the same name. "Madame X is a secret agent traveling around the world, changing identities, fighting for freedom, bringing light to dark places," she said in the teaser video. In fact, it is she who normalized it for other females artists to keep reinventing their sound, image and creative narrative.
Born Madonna Louise Ciccone on August 16, 1958, the young artist moved to New York City in the late '70s to become a dancer. She found her true calling when she started working as a backup dancer and knew she wanted to become a world-conquering solo singer and performer. Her eponymous debut album came out in 1983 and her sophomore release 'Like a Virgin' — which was pretty scandalous for its time — established the diva as a provocateur. She basically wore a wedding dress while singing about the joys of sex, something unheard of for its time. The wedding dress made jaws drop again when Madonna rolled on the floor, moaning 'Like a Virgin', on the very first VMAs in 1984. And who can forget about those iconic Jean Paul Gaultier conical bras from her Blond Ambition tour back in 1990.
Madonna has flirted with controversy many times since then - from kissing Britney Spears at the 2003 VMAs to dangling from a disco ball crucifix during her 2006 Confessions Tour. Not to forget the one time when she featured burning crosses in her 'Like a Prayer' video, which was banned from MTV. Even the Vatican condemned it and Pope John Paul II urged a boycott, but Madonna was fearless even in the face of her numerous controversies.
Madonna is also an eternal inspiration to the LGBTQIA++ community. In 1991, during the peak of HIV infections and deaths, she reached out to the community with her activism and music. Madonna, who had earlier released a public-service announcement about safe sex, endorsed the HIV activist group Act-Up. Two of Madonna's good friends, artist Keith Haring and her ballet teacher and mentor Christopher Flynn, had died of AIDS in 1990.
She went a step further and introduced same-sex couples in her videos, something that was considered taboo back in the '90s. In 'Justify My Love', she had her first on-screen lesbian kiss. In the 1991 documentary 'Truth or Dare', two of her male dancers shared a kiss. Many gay men have said that this was the first time they ever saw their wishes being played out onscreen so naturally. And it's no coincidence that Lady Gaga's monster hit 'Born This Way' borrows heavily from Madonna's classic track 'Express Yourself'.
The Queen of pop has time and again changed up her sound and identity and this has left a lasting impression on generations of musicians. Artists who were inspired by Madonna's reinvention included stars like Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Adam Lambert, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, Gwen Stefani, Paulina Rubino, Miley Cyrus, and even Madonna's protégé Britney Spears, just to name a few. Katy Perry went from rebellious girl next door to princess of 'purposeful pop', Miley Cyrus graduated from Disney Channel to become a rebellious rockstar before returning to her country roots and Taylor Swift went from shedding teardrops on her guitar to ruling pop and then going folksy with 'Folklore'.
Madonna also helped change the way artists release their music. Thanks to MTV and a lot of focus on singles-driven music videos, rock-oriented concept albums saw a decline in the '80s. Madonna was instrumental in bringing back concept albums in mainstream pop with 'Erotica' and 'American Life'. Today, Lorde ('Melodrama'), Janelle Monáe ('The ArchAndroid') and Halsey ('Hopeless Fountain Kingdom') are among those who swear by concept albums.
With her 1990 Blond Ambition Tour, Madonna also changed the way pop concerts would be held thereafter. Donna Summer and Michael Jackson had both fused popular music and theater during live performances but what Madonna did was much bigger and bolder. She brought Broadway to her full-scale production concert tours with special effects, elaborate sets and lots of drama and this helped change the face of popular music culture.

The revolutionary in her also changed the rules that were previously followed by other artists, especially women. Taking creative control of her projects, Madonna made talent scouting an essential part of her art - be it fashion designers, stylists, video directors, or producers. Her relationship with her collaborators is a major theme in the blockbuster 1991 tour documentary 'Truth or Dare'.
She was also one of the first major pop stars to leave a record deal. She released her first album in 1983 under a division of Warner Bros Records. But in 2007, 24 years and 200 million albums later, the diva left the label and signed up with concert promoter Live Nation, who offered a 10-year partnership worth $100M. The deal proved that Madonna as an artist was still a touring powerhouse. It also helped cement the future of musicians in a digital age where it is proving rather difficult to sell physical albums, nowadays downloads and streams are the new norm.
She also made the hiring of stylists a standard procedure. She started working with fashion designer Maripol in the '80s and since then she decided to have her own stylists. Generations of singers followed her and now everyone has a stylist of their own.
Even today, Madonna is pushing the boundaries of what the ageist music industry and society, in general, expects of older women. Just ahead of her 62nd birthday, Madonna released a banger collaboration with Dua Lipa and Missy Elliot called the 'Levitating' remix, which came out on August 14 - yet again proving that age is just a number after all.
Madonna's music, artistry, and boldness passed on that revolutionary spark that we still see today in the modern age of feminism. Thanks to her talent, charisma, reinvention and chutzpah, she paved the path for an entire generation of stars, be it men, women and everyone else on the gender spectrum. Here's wishing the ageless queen of pop a happy birthday. Long may she reign supreme!

8 Alternative PDF Readers For Linux
Linux users, regardless which distro you are using, it bound to come with a default PDF reader that you can use to read PDF files. In Ubuntu, that software is Evince. In most instances, Evince works well for me. It can remember the page where I last stopped and allows me to print without any problem. However, when it comes to big complex PDF files, this is where Evince starts to stutter.
If you are yearning for a better (or faster) PDF reader, here are several options for you.
1. Adobe reader
Adobe reader is the old granddaddy of all PDF readers. At 60+ MB, it is also the bulkiest and most resource-intensive among them all. In term of features and rendering quality, it is also the best. Features included in Adobe reader include commenting capability, interaction with forms, detach and locally save attachment, extended search capabilities and so on.
Adobe reader also comes with a Firefox plugin so you can view PDF file directly in your Firefox browser.
Installation: You can install Adobe Reader in Ubuntu via the Ubuntu Software Center
2. Foxit
Foxit is best known for being a lightweight alternative for Adobe reader. It used to be only available for Windows, but now has released a Linux version too.
The Linux version of Foxit does live up to its name. It is speedy and the quality of rendering is superb. There are also features such as a marquee select function where you can select an area and copy it as image. It also comes with a one-click full screen mode, great for those who like to read PDF ebooks on their desktop. Highly recommended.
The Foxit PDF reader is currently not available in the repository, so you have to download the deb (or tar) file from its website.
Download Foxit PDF reader
All beta and dev version of Google Chrome come with an inbuilt PDF reader that you can use immediately. It is very minimal and only comes with the zoom in/out feature. The rendering quality is good (much better than Evince). If it comes with a search function, it will be a good replacement for Evince.
4. Okular
Okular is more than just a PDF viewer. It is more of a universal document viewer that supports documents of multiple formats.
One good thing about Okular is that it allows you to annotate on the PDF file, which most software don't allow. The bad thing – it does not write the annotation to the files, so if you open the same file on another PDF reader, the annotations will not be around.
Read the full review of Okular.
5. XPDF
XPDF is another popular PDF reader for Linux. It supposes to be a lightweight and efficient PDF reader, but I find it to be terribly slow and ugly. Some of you may like it, but it is not my cup of tea.
XPDF can be found in Ubuntu Software Center.
6. Apvlv
For those who loved Vim, I am sure you will love Apvlv too. Apvlv is a vim-like PDF reader and it is specially built for speed. It is fast and extremely lightweight. If you are familiar with Vim, you will feel extremely at home with Apvlv.
Download Apvlv
7. Zathura
Zathura is well-liked by many people in the Linux community, mainly because it is highly customizable. It is a command line based PDF viewer (like Apvlv) but it allows you to customize to your liking. Things you can configure include the appearance, keyboard shortcuts, toolbar etc.
Download Zathura
8. MuPDF
MuPDF is a lightweight PDF viewer written in portable C and is tailored for high quality anti-aliased graphics. For a lightweight PDF reader, I prefer MuPDF much more than both Apvlv and Zathura, mainly because it is fast, provides high quality rendering and doesn't take up plenty of space. One thing though, when you first start using it, it will take some time to get used to its control interface.

Apple had a bad situation on their hands when it became apparent over the past week that their new non-Google "Maps" app appeared to fall short of expectations, but Tim Cook took this situation today and flipped it on its head entirely. It's not that Cook apologized for the situation – the situation being that Apple Maps (without Google) isn't as perfect as they wanted it to be – it's that inside this apology, he encouraged users to use other products while they remain patient for Apple Maps to improve. Tim Cook took a situation where Apple could easily have said "just chill out" to the public and said instead, in so many words, "we're confident enough in our own product that we'll literally tell you to use other solutions while we prove to you that you'll want to return to us when the time is right" – this is rare in the tech industry.
The full apology can be found in our other post from earlier today called "Apple CEO Tim Cook apologizes for Apple Maps fiasco", but the most important bit can be found here. In one line, Cook takes iOS 6 users down a road containing maps from all of Apple's new Maps' main competitors. He even tells users to use Google Maps in a browser.
It's absolutely unimportant at this very moment if any other company would have done the same or even if Apple would have done the same in the past. Apple has right this moment entered a new age in which they don't just create products that compete only with their past products – notice their advertisements that don't mention the competition – they've officially encouraged their competitors to make products that will help them move into the future.
Of course if you think Apple made it this far on it's own, you're sorely mistaken. Apple has always relied on their friends AND their competitors to create an ecosystem in which they'll thrive. I leave you with this undeniably awesome, lighthearted vision from all the way back in 1983 – the Apple Software Dating Game. See what you make of it!

MTNL Opines Internet.org & Airtel Zero Violate Net Neutrality; No Update From Govt. Yet!
Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL), which provides telecommunication services in Mumbai and New Delhi, has come out strongly against Internet.org project and Airtel Zero scheme, terming them against Net Neutrality principles.
In one of the comments shared by MTNL on TRAI's consultation paper on this issue, they said, "In any of the cases, the basic concept of net neutrality i.e. 'No discrimination/favour for any specific OTT service/s in terms of cost and access to subscribers' will be defeated".
MTNL argues that telecom players should not negotiate directly with OTT providers, as it can kill customer's interests and induce an environment where prices and services can be manipulated in the wrong manner.
However, they have suggested a fair revenue sharing model which can benefit both the telecom players and services providers, without harming the customers and violating net neutrality principles.
MTNL is one of the largest telecom service providers in New Delhi and Mumbai, with assets of more than $7 billion and employee base of 45,000 (as per 2010 stats). Their statements for net neutrality can have a major implication on the telecom industry as they are direct competitors to Airtel and Reliance which have introduced and supported anti-net neutrality plans.
In case customers from Mumbai and New Delhi divert to MTNL from these private companies, then it can leave a major dent in their revenues structure.
Previously, we had shared that IAMAI, a powerful lobby of Internet and IT based companies in India have blasted TRAI for supporting such anti-net neutrality plans. Even Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad has endorsed the view that Internet should be free from such malicious attempts to enslave it. As per reports, they may include net neutrality as a condition for granting telecom licenses, which is certainly a welcome step.
Meanwhile, Star India in their counter comments on the TRAI's consultation paper suggested that considering OTT players have enabled more data consumption among Indian users, telecom players should share revenues with them.
In this sense, even Star India should be able to get some revenues from telecom players, in case their content encourages more data usage and consumption.
This is certainly a valid point, considering that OTT players and content creators are the one who are enabling higher data usage, and in place of restricting access and offering discriminatory plans, telecom players should partner with them and enable even higher data usage.
We have already reported how Airtel and Idea are experiencing an all time high revenues from data usage, and their theory of low profits due to OTT players is totally debunked. Yesterday Vodafone also announced that their data revenues have surpassed all expectations.
Previously, Govt. had announced that they will come out with a verdict on net neutrality debate on May 9th. However, as of now, there has been no update from their end.
We will keep you updated as more news come in..
This coming from a company that itself, illegally injects scripts using middle man techniques into its own customers browsers.

Recently finished The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet.
Ordered the second straight afterwards. Really enjoyed this first chapter in the (recently completed?) sci-fi trilogy. Was humane, warm and interesting throughout with characters I genuinely cared about by the end. Not much actual drama but a lot of space opera character development for your buck and very, very readable.
Am enjoying the Expanse books, am about half way through book 2.
Ive watched season 1 and 2 so it s a bit odd as I know the story but very enjoyable.
Rex Kramer wrote: And Perdido Street Station is finished and what an utterly fabulous book it was. I can't recommend it highly enough if you like fantasy, steampunk or even sci-fi. Going to take a break from the series before picking up The Scar in the summer.
Picked up The Scar before going on holiday and it's even better than Perdido Street Station. I can't recommend this book enough, it's probably one of the best things I've ever read. The author has either toned down the over long descriptive text or what he's describing is so much more interesting. The story though is just incredible. I'm about 30% through and the connections to the first book are very slight, you could probably read this without the first though you'd miss some of the world building. The main location of the 2nd book would make the best RPG gameworld you have ever played, guaranteed.
deathofcows wrote: Recently finished The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet.
Sounds interesting! Will have to give that a look.
80% into The Scar now and it's quite possible it could be the best thing I've ever read. Anyone else read it?
On the strength of the number of adaptations now out there, I decided to start reading the Tom Clancy/Jack Ryan books in order.
The first is Hunt for Red October and I'm really struggling with it. Can anyone confirm whether later Jack Ryan books lighten up at all? It's like reading someone describe a game of chess, positioning pieces across the Atlantic.
I need to know whether to persevere or not.
Poser wrote: On the strength of the number of adaptations now out there, I decided to start reading the Tom Clancy/Jack Ryan books in order.
As far as I can remember, (it's been a while) HftRO is particularly full of military terms and tactics. It's like reading a strawberry floating Jane's manual sometimes. The later Ryan books get more intrigue and less technical I think.
Great stuff, thanks, that's what I was hoping to hear. Honestly, it's so intricate with the minutiae of both tactical movements and alsoi the technical aspects of operating a nuclear sub. I've found it really heavy going. In fact, I've stopped reading it and started watching films on my commute.
I'll finish it, though, and move on the the next ones.
I'm in the mood for some Lovecraftesque books. Has anyone got any good in-print recommendations?
Nothing by Lovecraft himself, I'm well covered there.
TV Dinner wrote: I'm in the mood for some gLovecraftesque books. Has anyone got any good in-print recommendations?
Have a look at Perdido Street Station. It's not exactly Lovecraftian but its a very interesting mix of fantasy and horror.
There are a load of Witcher books on Amazon for 99p today.
Recently went through The Iliad and it might have been one of the most unintentionally funny books I've ever read. The catalyst for most of the story being Achilles throwing a paddy to his mother, the soap opera tier squabbles of the Greek pantheon of gods, Menolaus getting road rage in a chariot race, and everyone being described as having tears streaming down their face at the slightest obstacle they face, it's hilarious.
Reading a book called John Dies at the End, it's very odd but very fun.

Ganni to Use Infinna Fiber in Future Collections

Oversized collars, puff sleeves and lug sole boots are the global hallmarks of a #GanniGirl, and now you can add circular fibers to the list.
Infinited Fiber Company, the Finnish circular fashion technology group and maker of Infinna, a regenerated textile fiber with the soft and natural look and feel of virgin cotton, announced this week that it has entered a partnership with Ganni. The products are yet to be confirmed but are expected to launch in 2022.
Recently added to Ellen MacArthur Foundation's biodiversity circular examples library, Infinna fibers are created with a patented technology that transforms cotton-rich textile waste that would otherwise end up in landfills into premium-quality fibers. Locally sourced in Finland by Infinited Fiber, old textiles are broken down at the molecular level and reborn as new microplastic-free cellulosic fibers.
Garments produced with Infinna can be recycled again in the same process with other textile waste. Eventually, Ganni could feed garments from its clothing take-back program to truly close the loop, Ganni founder Nicolaj Reffstrup told Sourcing Journal.
But even now, Infinna checks all of the brand's boxes, including performance and price. Ganni has purchased 100 kilograms of the material, enough to make 500 T-shirts.
"Textiles are the new plastics," said Reffstrup, paraphrasing Frans Timmermans, executive vice president for the European Green Deal. Using "transformative and innovative solutions" like Infinna, however, can increase the value of textile waste while taking brands like Ganni closer to creating more responsible collections.
Infinna is gaining traction with fashion-forward companies. E-tailer Zalando, H&M Group, Adidas and Bestseller's investment arm Invest FWD A/S have each invested in the company to help scale production. Weekday bowed the first market-ready line of jeans made with Infinna in March, followed by Wrangler in September. The latter received an "honorable mention" by Fast Company in the sustainability category of its 2021 Innovation by Design Awards.
Recycling and the Circular Economy
"Ganni is known for its forward-leaning approach to sustainability," said Kirsi Terho, Infinited Fiber Company key account director. "We can't wait to see #GanniGirls around the world bring our Infinna to life in beautiful clothes, and show off how upbeat and expressive designs created from a material made purely from textiles that have been given a second life can be."
Ganni's addition of Infinna builds on its circularity efforts. Along with offering in-store repairs and rental pieces, the brand will launch resale options in 2022.
More than 70 percent of the Scandinavian brand's collection is currently made with certified organic or recycled materials, and it is committed to using only 100 percent responsible materials in the future. Ganni has experimented with utilizing excess stock and fabrics, like their recent collaboration with London-based Ahluwalia. It has also introduced cottonized hemp denim through its 2020 collaboration with Levi's, along with a special upcycled denim rental collection.
In the longer term, the "not a sustainable" brand is phasing out all cowhide and replacing some with Vegea, a vegan leather alternative made from the stalks, skins and pips of grapes that are usually discarded during wine production. It's a major move, Reffstrup said, because animal-leather products currently make up one-third of Ganni's revenue.
Textiles are an important route to helping the label achieve its sustainability goals, he added. As a signatory of the United Nations Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action, Ganni has committed to a 30 percent reduction of carbon dioxide equivalent per kilogram of clothing by 2030. Some 80 percent to 85 percent of its carbon footprint currently stems from its products, and between 60 percent to 65 percent from materials.
The brand is in talks with other startups to tackle the issue of polyester, its most-used synthetic fiber, though 85 percent of what it incorporates into clothing is already recycled. Ganni is aiming for 100 percent, but Reffstrup is also open to other possibilities, such as creating materials out of carbon emissions.
"It's a never-ending quest, right?" he said. "We will constantly be looking for a better alternative. This will be an ongoing journey for the foreseeable future. It's not like you get to a point where you're sustainable and that's it."
Reffstrup said he hopes that Ganni's responsibility department will one day be obsolete.
"My dream scenario is when everybody's so entrenched in the whole responsibility mindset that you don't need a responsibility department because it's just something you do," he said. "Because, of course, why wouldn't you?"

We live on a very small Combat Outpost. We have electricity(220) for most of the time. We live in small rooms that we bought from the locals. We get to use the phones maybe twice a month. We also use the PX about the same time as the phones. What we are asking for is mainly things to keep us busy(Books, Games, etc) and food we cannot get often(Beef Jerky, Sunflower Seeds, Trail Mix) I am representing my squad. We do not get much hot food either. Hygeine items would be nice as well. We are from B Troop, 5/7 CAV, 3rd Infantry Division in Ft Stewart, GA. Thank you so much for taking your time and money to support us. God Bless.

You can stream it online or download it to your machine by the usual podcasting software (including iTunes). And if you know of anymore podcasts or indeed events in places you perhaps wouldn't expect, let us know.

Raised in Shalimar, Florida, and attending Choctawhatchee High School, Dr. Kevin Schambeau completed his undergraduate studies at Florida State University in Tallahassee, FL. In 1995, he received his Doctorate of Dental Medicine from the University of Alabama, School of Dentistry in Birmingham. Upon graduating, Dr. Schambeau was commissioned as a Lieutenant in the United States Navy Dental Corps. He served one year at Bangor Submarine Base in Silverdale, Washington and three years at Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base in North Carolina. Dr. Schambeau and his wife Stephanie Norris Schambeau, from Haleyville, AL, returned to Alabama in 1999, which allowed them to live closer to their family and friends and to pursue their dream of opening their own private practice.
Dr. Schambeau stays current with the profession he loves by being a regular attendee of local dental meetings and national conventions. He is always looking for ways to better serve his patients and make each patient's visit the best visit possible.
Kevin and Stephanie live in Hoover, AL and have three children, two dachshunds and two cats. They are active members of Hunter Street Baptist Church and have traveled to Ukraine as part of a Medical/Dental mission trip. Kevin's hobbies include golf, water & snow skiing, traveling, and spending quality time with his family and friends.
I chose to work at Schambeau Dental Care because I had many years experience in dental care and I wanted to continue my passion for patients and helping teach them about proper dental care. I knew that Dr. Schambeau's heart was in his business and I had similar goals of my own. Integrity, heart, and soul …so important.
I chose to work at Schambeau Dental Care because I noticed Dr. Schambeau's passion to help others in a family-friendly environment and his commitment to embracing new technology. I was motivated to further my own skills and I hope to inspire other young Hispanics to excel in their own studies, pursue careers, and to give back to their community.
I love working at Schambeau Dental Care because I enjoy helping people achieve a healthy smile! It makes me so happy to teach patients about their oral care and assist Dr. Schambeau during dental procedures.
I chose to work at Schambeau Dental because I love being a dental hygienist. At the end of the day, I feel like I've made a difference in the health and happiness of the patients I help treat.

This article investigates the attitude of Belgian diplomats in the debate about the creation of a stronger army in the decades before the First World War. Closely reading the writings of three members of the diplomatic corps and comparing their discourse with the words of their colleagues, it argues that the current historiographical narrative on the diplomats' stance towards militarization is in need of revision.

Helping local businesses with their search marketing strategy is difficult. However, those of us that assist businesses with hundreds, in some cases thousands, of locations understand that the task comes with unique circumstances. Getting one business location to rank is a feat, let alone hundreds of locations that are many kilometres apart.
The purpose of this guide is to offer tips to anyone that performs enterprise local search. Many of these tips are applicable to any business that has multiple locations, however, the tips in this guide are designed for enterprise-sized corporations and businesses with at least 50 locations.
One of the most important aspects of enterprise local search is having a well-designed local landing page for every location. If you do the following, you will rank high in local search results.
Your title tags need to be unique to each location. Make it a point to keyword optimize the tags. The meta data needs to include the business's state, city and zip code. Each page needs to have its own meta description.
Your businesses name, address and phone number (NAP) in a highly visible place on your web page. Your NAP needs to look consistent on each page. For example, if the state is abbreviated on one page, it needs to be abbreviated on every page.
Do not rely on generic maps with your business's address. Embed a Google Local Map onto your website.
Schema helps businesses increase their online customers. It is beneficial to implement a schema markup that works with your type of business. Doing this will allow search engines to easily display the business's information like hours and reviews.
Videos and photos help to elevate your listing above all of the others. People are more likely to interact with a local landing page when there are photos or videos. A photo of your storefront and interior shots are ideal photos to use. For a more professional look, add photos of employees with a brief biography.
• Listing your business hours and the products or services your business offers.
• Write a description of the city and your business's neighborhood. If there are any festivals, nearby landmarks or anything that makes the location standout in a positive manner is a good to add. You may also want to mention the business's cross streets.
• Mention all types of public transportation that are in proximity to your business.
• If your business has received any awards mention them. Add any badges to you landing page that are associated with organizations that people trust. For example, add a badge for BBB (Better Business Bureau) approval.
The URL for your local landing page needs to be optimized in a manner that is easy for both search engines and people to understand. A good example of an optimized URL would be www.website.com/city-state-zip. To differentiate between multiple locations in the same zip code, you can add a store number or neighborhood identifier to the URL. By creating an original page for each business location and following these suggestions, you will establish a foundation for successful searches.
In regards to search engine optimization, a citation is the mentioning of your business's name, address and phone number (NAP) on another web site, even if there is not a link to your business.
When you start to build your citations, it is recommended that you begin with data aggregators like Infogroup, Acxiom and Factual. Then shift your focus to well-known local directories like Bing, Yahoo, Yelp and Google.
Moz also has some helpful tools that will show you important local business directories that are related to your city or industry. When you have a list, ranked from most important to least, it's time for you to begin.
Using data aggregators can be costly when marketing in multiple locations. However, they are important to local searches. Data aggregators are the quickest way to circulate local information for many locations. Take advantage of as many of these services as possible. It will spare from you from having to make individual submissions to hundreds of local directories.
If this is your first experience with enterprise-level local marketing, you will be surprised to find that many local directories do not allow users to bulk upload data for multiple locations.
If you need to create more than one listing for a business that has several locations, you will more than likely have to repeat the upload process several times. Why? Because there really is no other options. Some services that do allow bulk location uploading will charge you for the privilege.
Having said that, the following local directory services that allow for bulk uploads without charging.
Google gives users an unlimited amount of uploads. So, this is a good starting point. It should be noted that this system does have some glitches, so you need to be prepared fix a few errors.
Bing has a more involved upload process than Google Business. However, this is an important local directory service. The entire process takes around a month to complete.
Foursquare is user friendly and has added some helpful features. It also has become a credible source of local information.
Look over all of the information that you submit to data aggregators and local directories. Make sure that your business's name, address and phone number (NAP) that is listed matches the way it is presented on your website.
Consistency is important to local search visibility. It helps to ensure that the search engines identify each of your business listings as a single location, helping to increase the number of citations you have for a location.
Correcting issues with existing citations is an overlooked. The oversight is usually by larger businesses with multiple locations because of it's a grueling and time consuming in nature.
Some local marketers look through each directory listing. They clean up duplicate listings, add new listings and make sure the content is accurate. There are tools available to assist with removing duplicates. However, these services are not free.
The cost of duplicate removal is expensive. These services might be better for businesses that only have one location. The costs for businesses with more than one location can start to add up. Whitespark, Yext and a Moz's new tool, Moz Local are a few of the services that can help with the removal.
The first thing you need to do is assess all of your listings. There are some free tools you can use that will search the internet for your business and find an inaccuracies with your business's name, phone number, address and other important information. Moz Local and Yext have a free tool to do these searches.
Using these tools will help you save time and get an idea of how much work you will need to do for each one of your locations. There is a good chance that you will find errors.
If you are doing your search manually, search for each of the locations under each directly. If it is necessary, you may need to try searching in multiple searches using the business's zip code or phone number. Doing this will help you find out if you are listed in a directory and find any duplicate listings.
If duplicate listings are found, keep the accurate listing and report the other listings as duplicates. Locating all of your listings will help you manage them. You should continue to increase your citations and remove any duplicates. The task can take a lot of time, but the effort is worth it.
Not only should you try to have as many local business listings as possible, you need to make sure they are accurate. Make note of any duplicates and make sure they are removed. You may need to contact an administrator to remove those listings.
The following strategies should help your business successfully dominate search results. To be successful, you need to create an original page of each location, use data aggregators and optimize all of your business pages. Do not forget to increase your citations and make sure these citations are accurate. These approaches will help your business's search results increasing your internet presence and your traffic.


Originally called Aloha Shirt Friday, the term Aloha Friday started in the '40s by Duke Kahanamoku, who walked into the posh Royal Hawaiian Hotel and said, "Hey, instead of coats and ties and suits, let's wear long-sleeved aloha shirts."
Though banks and other businesses scoffed at the idea of serious work being done in Aloha Attire, the tradition of Aloha Friday lives on to this day.
Like Duke, we do things a little differently at Aloha Friday. We work hard for our clients. We deliver on our promises. We take our work seriously, but we never take ourselves seriously. We celebrate in your successes. And we do it all with a distinct level of sophistication and fun. Naturally, we think Friday is the best day of the week.

Reality Check: Looking at the Numbers When It Comes to Collisions Fatalities
Auto collisions never happen at a convenient time, so it's always a good idea to be prepared. If you're wondering how frequently fatal auto collisions occur in the state of California, and how you can be safer on the road, continue reading.
Traffic Fatalities
In the state of California, the number of traffic collisions that result in fatalities has been decreasing each year. In 2010, though, there were exactly 2,715 traffic fatalities, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Alcohol-Related Collisions
Of all of the above-mentioned traffic fatalities in the state of California, 36% of them involved at least one driver who had a blood-alcohol content above .08 (legally drunk).
A high number of these fatal collisions involved young drivers between the ages of 15 and 20. This is because teenagers typically underestimate the risk of getting in a crash, they have not fully developed their driving skills, and because teens are more likely than other drivers to carry passengers, not wear their seat belts, and drive at night.
Cost of Collisions
Nationally, over six million people are involved in automobile collisions. With all of these damaged automobiles needing repair, and over two million people suffering permanent injuries who need medical treatment, it's not surprising that auto collisions cost over $160 billion dollars per year according to AAA.
What the Numbers Mean
Many drivers assume that since they have never been in an auto collision, it is less likely to happen to them. Although careful driving is a great way to reduce the likelihood of a car accident, it's still good to take all of the safety precautions possible. Always wear a seatbelt, drive defensively, and don't drink and drive.
If you are ever involved in an auto collision, and your car needs auto body repair work, come to Michael J's Body Shop in San Jose. We have been serving the Bay Area for over 20 years. Give us a call at 408-279-2070 for more information.

A years ago this month, two friends lost someone that they loved. I just wanted them to know I was thinking of them, and that they are loved! I WISH I could tell that to them face to face! Time has flown by for many of us, but to them and many others who's heart is aching, time has gone much slower! Let's try to remember them and send them this wish!
I wish you peace -- in the world in which you live and in the smallest corner of you heart where truth is kept.
I wish you faith -- to help define your living and your life.
More I cannot wish you -- except perhaps love -- to make all the rest worthwhile.

A PROJECT SUCH AS THIS ONE incurs many debts. First and foremost, I offer my thanks to Emily Allen (Purdue), who bore with me through the often-frustrating production process and has added her own touch to the site by helping me write an extended pre-history of feminism and sexuality in the introduction to Theories of Gender and Sex. I also want to offer special thanks to Linda Hutcheon (U of Toronto), Alan Liu (U of California, Santa Barbara) and Garrett Stewart (U of Iowa) for supporting the project in its early stages when I was still seeking financial support for the expansion of the Guide. Elaine Showalter has also been wonderfully supportive of the work. Their faith in the project allowed it both to get off the ground and to reach completion. Funding for the project comes from various sources; see Awards. The grants have allowed me to acquire new software, hardware, computer manuals, and further training in web design; they have also freed me from some of my teaching duties so that I could devote the sort of time necessary to complete such a project. My thanks also to Laura Mandell, who invited me to Miami U during the fall semester of 2001 to talk over the project with her undergraduate students. Finally, my gratitude to Tom Adler, the former Head of the English Department, for providing me with a new computer as I began work on the project.
A number of individuals helped me trouble-shoot the early design of the project, especially Emily Allen, Kristina Bross (Purdue), and Michael Eberle-Sinatra (U of Montréal). The project is much better for their timely intervention. I also owe a debt of gratitude for the technical assistance I received from John O'Malley (Coordinator of Technical Communications at Purdue), JoLene Lark (Coordinator of User Services for the English Department), and Purdue's Multimedia Instructional Development Center, where I was taught the intracacies of digital film-transfers. (Thanks especially to the two undergraduate assistants at the MIDC who bore with my learning curve: Randy Franklin and David Eisert). Shawn Rice, a graduate student in computer graphics at Purdue, constructed Theoretical Pursuit: A Self-Test Game, a project that was funded by a Dean's Incentive Teaching Grant at Purdue..
I also thank the many users of the site who have contacted me with corrections since the beta-version of the site went on-line in July of 2002. That sort of interaction really helps to distinguish such a project from a traditional introduction.
Finally, I must thank my students. They have served as my guinea pigs throughout my career as I sought new ways of making the individual theories accessible and engaging. I have had some truly fantastic students here at Purdue; their voices can be heard clearly in each Lesson Plans section within this Guide to Theory.


Exposure assessment enhanced by mathematical modeling has become an accepted technique for evaluating the environmental risk associated with the release of toxic substances into various environmental media. Mathematical models for analyzing the behavior of toxic substances in river systems range from simplified, plug-flow transport procedures to dynamic water and sediment routing procedures incorporating characterization of the physical, chemical, and biological processes that collectively determine the toxicant concentrations in time and space. Four levels of such models can be identified: (1) steady-state, constant flow; (2) plug flow, time-of-travel analytical solution; (3) quasi-dynamic routing incorporating simple sediment interaction with the bed; and (4) dynamic routing incorporating dynamic, process-oriented sediment interaction with the bed. In levels 1, 3, and 4, chemical exchange with the bed is handled as a linear dispersive interchange. In each of the four levels, sorption, volatility, hydrolysis, photolysis, oxidation, and bacterial degradation of organic toxicants are included. These four levels of models were compared by predicting pesticide fate and transport within the Yazoo River system using candidates from each level.

Eric Wengreen, Co-founder
Wes Schwie, Co-founder
Based on an interview with Drivent co-founders Eric Wengreen and Wes Schwie
What did you do before founding Drivent?
Eric – "Drivent isn't our first company. We have a long history inventing and bringing products to market. We founded Innovelis, which invented the TotalMount line of products. Our TotalMount products are sold in Apple Stores around the world. Before that, we were medical-device engineers."
What led you from making products for Apple Stores to founding Drivent?
Wes – "Our journey brought us to an important realization: We should work to make the world a better place. While searching for an opportunity to make a difference, we learned that more than 37,000 people are killed by car accidents each year in just the United States. We also learned that around 94 percent of car accidents are caused by human errors that could be eliminated by self-driving vehicles. The opportunity to save lives by promoting the adoption of self-driving vehicles was exhilarating."
Were there any important pivots along your journey?
Eric – "We quickly realized that many companies were already working on the systems needed to enable self-driving vehicles to avoid collisions. We didn't want our work to be redundant. Our mission came into focus with one realization: There were many non-collision barriers to the adoption of self-driving vehicles that were still unsolved. We dedicated ourselves to overcoming these non-collision barriers."
How do you feel about all the competition in the industry?
Eric – "We are incredibly grateful to all the brilliant people who developed the systems needed to avoid collisions. Their breakthroughs enabled us to focus on overcoming the last mile of autonomous vehicle adoption. We see other companies as potential collaborators, not competitors. Our technology is a great addition to their technology."
Wes – "The ultimate winners in the autonomous vehicle market will be the companies that provide the best autonomous vehicle user experience, and our technologies will enable our partners to provide the provide the best autonomous vehicle user experience."
Wes – "Many of Drivent's solutions will have the greatest impact not as stand-alone systems, but rather as elements integrated into the products and services of much larger players in the autonomous vehicle market. Drivent exited stealth mode to collaborate with industry leaders."

Vehicle Fire Protection – Vehicle fires are far more common than most people realize. In fact, U.S. fire departments respond to approximately 168,000 vehicle fires per year.1 Previous self-driving vehicles were unable to appropriately respond to vehicle fires. Drivent has developed technologies that detect a fire in a self-driving vehicle and then cause the self-driving vehicle to automatically pull over to allow riders to exit the vehicle.
Smoking Deterrence – 85% of non-smokers insist on smoke-free vehicles.2 Non-smokers will choose to receive rides from companies that provide vehicles that do not smell like smoke. Drivent has developed several technologies that deter, minimize, and respond to smoking in self-driving vehicles.
Human Help – Even for self-driving vehicles, having a human manager to communicate with other people such as police officers and tow-truck operators is sometimes necessary. Employing a human manager in each vehicle, however, is too inefficient. Drivent's proprietary technologies enable a vehicle representative, located at a call center, to talk with police officers, tow-truck operators, road-rage instigators, and other people when necessary.
Addressing Phone Issues – Many people don't realize that their phone will be their lifeline to their autonomous vehicle. A lost phone or dead battery could leave people stranded without a way to ask an autonomous vehicle for a ride home. Drivent has developed a suite of technologies to prevent phone issues from becoming transportation issues.
Pick-Up Optimization – People will choose to receive rides from autonomous vehicle companies that provide the most convenient transportation. Drivent has developed several technologies that accurately predict when and where a person will want a ride to minimize or even eliminate the time you have to wait for a vehicle to pick you up.
Drivent will announce additional technologies in the near future.

[Music] "Tax Scam Records": Artist Discovers Albums Of His Songs Were Released By Shadowy Companies in 1977
Many thanks to my friend, Al Clark, for originally posting this article from Dangerous Minds.
Here's a taster of what to expect from the article:
"Tax Scam Records" is a phrase that was coined by collectors to identify albums that are believed to have been manufactured for the sole purpose of—get this—losing money. From around 1976 until 1984, a number of record labels were established as tax shelters, with investors putting their money into albums. A financier would invest, say, $20,000 in an LP, and if it tanked, the backer could claim a loss on their taxes, based on the assessed value of the master recording. Technically, the practice was legal, but to maximize the write-off, the appraisal was often grossly inflated—as high as seven figures.
The I.R.S would come to question the legitimacy of some of these labels, and accuse those promoting shelters that focused on tax benefits—rather than the music being bankrolled—of perpetuating fraud.
Anything was seemingly fair game for a tax shelter album, including LPs previously issued as private press records, demo tapes by aspiring artists, and studio outtakes by name acts. Some labels were so brazen, they released albums using material by groups as big as Led Zeppelin and the Beatles.
Absolutely greasy, but this was, after all, the 1970s.

[Music] Hedningarna – Räven
Hedningarna are a Swedish folk band which also had Finnish members not too terribly long ago. I came across their music while looking at a pile of promos sitting on the desk of a World Music buyer at the shop I had worked at, which were delivered to us by a local Rykodisc distributor. The quality of the sub-label representing the band, Northside Records, was phenomenal. There will surely be more of these folk bands posted here in the future.

Washington D.C.-based Cuneiform Records has been publishing influential avant-prog rock music for three decades now. Steve Feigenbaum, the label's owner, should be commended for bringing such groups like Univers Zero, Daniel Denis, Richard Pinhas and Happy Family to American consumers.
This compilation covers 30 years of great releases, and is available as a 'name-your-price' download, courtesy of Bandcamp.


Artist Nick Cave turns sundry materials, such as cast-off clothing, flea market discoveries, and dyed human hair, into transformative "soundsuits" that double as sumptuous sculptures.
Cave (not to be confused with the musician of the same name) draws from sources as varied as African ceremonial costumes, Tibetan textiles, and pop-culture creatures. His elaborate suits aren't just objects pegged to a pedestal; they're meant to be worn, vitalized through movement and the sounds they make. In fact, the dance-trained artist is working toward a 90-suit performance that he'll take around the world.
Read a New York Times feature about Cave, listen to his interview at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, visit his current exhibition at UCLA's Fowler Museum, buy the exhibition catalogue , and peek at past shows at his New York gallery.

Thierry Tallien de Cabarrus, dit Thierry de Cabarrus, est un polémiste pro-Macron très actif sur Twitter et un ancien journaliste français né en 1950.

Biographie
Thierry de Cabarrus a successivement collaboré au Progrès de Lyon, au Parisien (jusqu'en 1993), au Courrier des Yvelines et des Hauts-de-Seine (jusqu'en 2000) puis à l'Union. Son licenciement en  marque la fin de sa carrière de journaliste.

Désormais retraité, il publie des chroniques politiques et sociétales sur la version française du site collaboratif Suite101 de 2008 à 2011 (site fermé), puis sur Le Plus, le site participatif de L'Obs, où il rédige 835 chroniques de 2011 à mars 2017.

Thierry de Cabarrus est présent sur le réseau social Twitter depuis 2011. Il y publie chaque jour plusieurs dizaines de tweets très favorables au président de la République Emmanuel Macron.

Dans les années 1980, il a publié trois romans édités chez Grasset.

Thierry de Cabarrus est un descendant de :

 Dominique Cabarrus, armateur de navires négriers, dont la fortune s'est édifiée sur la pratique de l'esclavage et du commerce triangulaire avec les Antilles depuis le port de Bordeaux
 François Cabarrus, le fils de ce dernier, financier et fondateur de la banque centrale espagnole
 Thérésa Tallien (Juana Maria Ignazia Teresa Cabarrus), salonnière, surnommée « Notre-Dame de Thermidor » pendant la Révolution française.
