Springfield Armory has been on a tear the last year with new iterations of the SAINT series of AR-15 firearms. First, Springfield Armory introduced the original SAINT model in October of 2016. They then followed up with an M-LOK free-float handguard version to many people's delight. We at TFB then followed up with a thorough review of the SAINT M-LOK by our rifle savy and intelligent writer Thomas Gomez. The next in line for Springfield Armory was a Flat Dark Earth (FDE) variant of the original Keymod model. After that was a Cali-compliant version of the SAINT M-LOK that featured a Survivor System Stock. Then, I had the personal pleasure of seeing the unveiling of the SAINT AR-15 Pistol last November. The final firearm to come into the fold was a more premium rendition with the SAINT Edge.
Springfield Armory used to be only known for their M1A rifles, but they are slowly building a quality reputation for modern sporting rifles as well. To further delve into the quality, the good, the bad or the ugly our friends at AllOutdoor took the SAINT AR-15 Pistol for a little test drive.
They pushed lead down range at both indoor and outdoor ranges. Tested it on targets as close as 10 yards and all the way out to 100 yards using a no magnification Trijicon RMR. That may not sound very far, but bear in mind that this is a pistol.
The AllOutdoor review also offers up a few suggestions and opinions on how to more easily shoot an AR-15 pistol in general. A gold nugget of knowledge was shared by one of the seasoned employees at Springfield Armory that could make your next range trip with an AR-15 pistol a lot more enjoyable, and more accurate!
Check it out and let us know what you think in the comments. If you are contemplating adding one to your arsenal or if you already own one and have some opinions to share.

QuickBooks | Feb 2021
QuickBooks Pro
Business owners know that a crucial part of business success comes in accounting and keeping track of payroll, payments, and other expenses. The good news is that there are options on the market designed to make bookkeeping easier. For those looking into software to help your business along, QuickBooks Pro could be your solution.
What is QuickBooks Pro?
QuickBooks Pro helps businesses run more smoothly and takes the stress out of bookkeeping. It is one of the types of QuickBooks by Intuit; QuickBooks Desktop comes in two other varieties as well; plus there are multiple online options also available for businesses to purchase. QuickBooks Pro is specifically designed to track sales and expenses, get detailed reports, and help maximize tax deductions. QuickBooks Pro is the most basic plan and is perfect for those starting out and who are looking for the convenience provided by the service without needing any of the extra features offered by the other programs. If you are a business looking to ease the task of managing the financials, you will benefit from using QuickBooks Pro.
Benefits of QuickBooks Pro
By organizing your business finances all in one place, it makes it easier to track performance and to make informed business decisions. Plus, QuickBooks Pro doesn't require accounting expertise because it's so simple and easy to use. Switching to QuickBooks isn't complicated because importing existing data from Microsoft Excel or another similar program is quick and painless. You can be up and running within minutes.
QuickBooks Pro also makes it easy to email reports in Excel or PDF formats. There are over 100 compatible third-party apps that can be integrated with QuickBooks to help streamline the business process. Whatever you're using right now, it probably integrates with QuickBooks Pro.
QuickBooks Pro is designed to help you, the business owner. The program is simple and easy to learn. In addition, there is training available to aid new users, as well as custom workflows. These can be helpful for those who want to learn more about QuickBooks Pro and to make it work for their business. You get QuickBooks legendary ease-of-use, plus the customization and knowledge to make it your business' superpower.
QuickBooks Pro software also regularly adds new features that benefit its users. They offer two types of updates. The first type are small releases throughout the year that provide minor upgrades and security fixes. Once you purchase the software, you can automate these releases. However, new versions come out roughly once per year and must be purchased and installed individually.
QuickBooks makes security a priority. With a subscription, your information is backed up, which helps prevent losing data, and ensures that your information remains secure. You can also get this same security by paying an extra fee when buying the licensed version. The next section will go through the other differences between the purchasing subscription vs. a license. Either way, QuickBooks Pro is designed to help small and growing businesses and its main benefit is to simplify the financial tasks that come along the way.
Subscription vs. License
There are two ways to buy QuickBooks Pro: you can get a subscription, or you may purchase a license. A subscription requires an annual payment, while a license is a one-time purchase. Because of the annual payments a customer makes, the subscription has a few extra features not included in the license.
Let's dive into which features each of these options has. Both the subscription and license have these features:
Up to three users on a subscription or license
Manage bills accounts payable to maintain cash flow and easily track action on unpaid bills
Create and send purchase orders to vendors
Organize your customer, vendor, and employee information
Connect your bank and credit card transactions
Track your inventory, cost of goods, and receive notifications when your inventory is running low
Create and send estimates and invoices to your customers
The subscription includes additional benefits that the license does not, including:
Automated data backups
Unlimited customer support to get the help you need
Continuous access to the latest features and updates
If you're looking for a way to keep up to date with all the new features and get access to unlimited customer support, then the subscription is the better option. A license is the best option for those wanting a one-time purchase and who don't feel they need customer support or the latest updates. When deciding whether to go with the subscription or license, it really comes down to the needs of your business.
Who Should Use QuickBooks Pro?
Nearly every business will benefit from QuickBooks Pro. If you are a business that wants an easy-to-learn system to help organize your finances, QuickBooks will make your workload easier to manage.
When you are ready to improve and grow your business, QuickBooks can help make it possible. You can schedule an appointment with a consultant if you still have questions about how QuickBooks Pro will help your business.

Thoughts or ideas on how to market to MySpace?
Anybody have thoughts or ideas on how to market to MySpace? I know virutally nothing about MySpace except that the majority of the pages I've seen are horrible and make my eyes hurt and sometimes blows up my browser.
Anyway, people are saying they are making money marketing to MySpace. Any thoughts?
One thing I've seen work well is the "Rich Jerk" myspace. Obviously that kind of character is extremely popular on myspace. Everyone wants to be friends with the rich guy who drives fast cars and beautiful women.
Maybe you could create your own alter ego in a different industry and try that.
It seems to be the newest buzz around and from what I've read about it some marketers are now making big bucks with it.
I've purchased a few reports and training video's in the last week and I can tell you I'm hyped up over it. It's against Myspace TOS to blatantly advertize or sell anything but that doesn't seem to be stopping anyone.
The fact that you can have multiple free accounts using throw away email addresses means you don't need to worry too much about getting your account closed.
The attraction here is you can make a lot of money quickly ( or so they say lol ) I've yet to actually do that myself as I've only just got into it this last week. But from the affiliate marketing side alone it looks very promising.
I suspect it's like most things if you learn the tricks of the trade and do it right you should make some decent money out of it.
I'll let you know how I get on with it if your interested.
Cool. Yea let me know how you do. I saw all the offers on the Warrior Forum. Trying to keep focused on what I'm doing and not buy more stuff no matter how cheap. I'd love to be able to market some affiliate stuff on there. I wouldn't risk Adsense though.
Yeah I had to stop and think about the Adsense sites, but at the end of the day it's just traffic I wouldn't be doing anything to break the Google TOS.
I may just try out some sites that don't have Adsense on, maybe stick to Amazon, and kontera type sites with affiliate programs as the main attraction.
I got one of those little $15 reports against my better judgement. It wasn't bad actually. I can see the potential but I'm still trying to figure out how to run bulletins and all that. MySpace is one nasty place. The pages I've cruised through just look and act horrible. Many crash my browser. Amazing what people are willing to show of themselves on there too. Definitely not opposed to the female form, but chicks these days have no problem skanking themselves around that place. Sorry, off topic. At any rate I've got to figure out how to make a buck or two while the going is good.
Shoot me a PM if you can spare a sec and explain bulletins and how to send them. Thought you had to have friends to do that but apparently you only need to join a group?

Q: TorRequests and Python - InvalidSchema: Missing dependencies for SOCKS support I want to make an anonymous web request using python 3 with help of Tor, and I'm following this tutorial: https://computerscienceandfangs.blogspot.com/2018/04/setting-up-tor-for-windows-10-python-3.html.
So far I'm just testing the first part of the tutorial code (below):
import requests

def get_tor_session():
    session = requests.session()
    # Tor uses the 9050 port as the default socks port
    session.proxies = {'http':  'socks5://127.0.0.1:9050',
                       'https': 'socks5://127.0.0.1:9050'}
    return session

# Make a request through the Tor connection
# IP visible through Tor
session = get_tor_session()
print(session.get("http://httpbin.org/ip").text)
# Above should print an IP different than your public IP

# Following prints your normal public IP
print(requests.get("http://httpbin.org/ip").text)

So when I execute the code: print(session.get("http://httpbin.org/ip").text), it should show me a different IP address to mine. However instead I get the error:
 File "C:\Program Files\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\requests\adapters.py", line 43, in SOCKSProxyManager
    try:

InvalidSchema: Missing dependencies for SOCKS support.

I've installed the packages below as per the tutorial:
1)pip install requests -- upgrade
2)pip install requests[socks]
3)pip install stem
I'm using Windows 7 (64-bit). Spyder for Python IDE. Python version 3.5.
Second question, which is more general. I'm looking to make requests on a bigger scale as part of a project for a web-scraper. Is the approach above, using the tutorial I referenced, still a good approach (i.e. coding things manually using Python), to ensure you don't get banned/black-listed? Or Are there services out there more advanced that can do Anonymous IP request, IP rotating and request throttling all for you, without you having to code your own software and configure manually, and with unlimited number of requests?
Many thanks in advance.

A: Are you running a tor service from the cli?
Your proxy should look like this:
session.proxies = {'http':  'socks5h://127.0.0.1:9050',
                   'https': 'socks5h://127.0.0.1:9050'}

Also, requests is not designed for making mass amounts of requests in the way you describe.  I would recommend using the following setup, which uses aiohttp, aiohttp_socks, and asyncio.
import asyncio, aiohttp
from aiohttp_socks import SocksConnector

async def get_one(url, callback):
    connector = SocksConnector.from_url('socks5://localhost:9050', rdns=True)
    # rdns=True is important!
    # 1) Can't connect to hidden services without it
    # 2) You will make DNS lookup requests using your real IP, and not your Tor IP!
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession(connector=connector) as session:
        print(f'Starting {url}')
        async with session.get(url) as res:
            return await callback(res)

def get_all(urls, callback):
    future = []
    for url in urls:
        task = asyncio.ensure_future(get_one(url, callback))
        future.append(task)

    return future

def test_callback(res):
    print(res.status)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    urls = [
        'https://python.org',
        'https://google.com',
        #...
    ]

    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    future = get_all(urls, test_callback)
    loop.run_until_complete(asyncio.wait(future))

A: To resolve the error: InvalidSchema: Missing dependencies for SOCKS support I had restart Tor service in Windows OS, by running the following in command line:
tor --service remove
then
tor --service install -options ControlPort 9051

Catholic Church ponders future after same-sex marriage vote in Ireland
The morning after Ireland learned it had become the first nation to approve same-sex marriage by popular vote, Diarmuid Martin, the archbishop of Dublin, looked out at the future of the Roman Catholic Church.
It could be found at St. Mary's Pro-Cathedral here, in downtown Dublin, as two rows of children awaited confirmation before him in the lofty, column-lined church.
"Boys and girls, I made my confirmation 60 years ago," he told them, adding, "Your world is different from mine.

Hi! My name is Elyse. I am a twenty-something girl with a big city heart, living in a small town. I am an introvert, a girly girl, libraries and books are my passion, I love shoes, and chocolate is my best friend.
1. I can't cook, nor do I want to learn how to cook.
2. I have a collection of glass bracelets given to me by my mother, and I am never without a bracelet on my left wrist, or the ring she gave me on my right hand.
3. If I was stranded on a desert island and only had one food to eat it would be seedless watermelon.
4. My favorite times are spent at home, in my pajamas.
5. I have expensive taste, but what young woman doesn't?
6. I am a celebrity junky. People.com, and the Celebrity Baby Blog are sites I visit daily.
7. I love all sorts of music. Katy Perry, Florence + The Machine, Lady Gaga and Owl City are all favorites.
8. I love Paris. My home is decorated in Parisian themed pieces.
9. I am not crafty, but can sew on a button or hand stitch a basic stitch if needed.
10. I enjoy watching TV shows on DVD. "Once Upon a Time," "The Vampire Diaries," and "Burn Notice" are some of my favorites.


I have been out in the world again. All the stories I've seen and heard and lived have been patiently but eagerly contained, just waiting to be told.
In Poland and Lithuania, where we were traveling, World War II still casts a long shadow over the land. That is a long, hard, sad story.
But little stories are everywhere, and more often than not, you will find stories within stories. In fact, they will find you.
…Or a Star of David scratched in stone seventy years ago.
We learned that our apartment was in the Vilnius Ghetto, where more than 42,000 Vilnius Jews were imprisoned before they were murdered.
Near our place was a statue in memory of Dr. Tsemakh Shabad, a Jewish doctor in Vilnius. A lovely young Lithuanian named Yrita gave us the inside story.
A lovely story, Naomi. The World Wars, as well as others, are still alive in memory in Europe. When I visit my s-i-l and b-i-l in France, I love seeing all the memorials, some even to American soldiers. Not because I like their deaths, but because they and the cause they fought for are remembered, something vital to our lives. Some years ago, we visited Omaha Beach where my f-i-l landed on D-Day and spent several days in the area, hearing stories from the man we hired to take us all over as well as in the museum and other places. What an experience that was!!
Do you know what Division your father-n-law was in? Did he speak of his experience? I know it is difficult for many of the veterans to discuss their experiences with anyone who hasn't lived through them. My uncle landed at Omaha Beach and made it as far as the Siegfried Line before he was killed. I am always touched when their sacrifices are remembered. I found my own trip to Omaha Beach very moving, and the World War II Museum in Caen helps to explain the causes and consequences of the war.
Thanks so much for your visit. I hope you are well.

Nicole Kidman Knocked Down By Paparazzo, Reportedly Pressing Charges
By drzoeadmin on September 13, 2013
Nicole Kidman is reportedly pressing charges against a paparazzo who knocked her down after slamming into her with his bike yesterday afternoon (Sept. 12) in New York City.
Kidman was returning to the Carlyle Hotel after attending the Calvin Klein show for New York's Fashion Week when photographer Carl Wu came speeding down the sidewalk, according to Us Weekly. He was reportedly trying to get to the hotel in time to snap photos of Kidman's arrival. Witnesses tell TMZ that Wu tried to slow down as he came closer to Kidman, but he crashed into her and she fell to the ground.
Keith Urban's wife was allegedly furious and said that she was going to press charges. She called the cops shortly after the incident occurred.
Nicole Kidman and her team have not been available for comment yet.
From Huffington Post
It must be painful and probably she is ashamed that she fell down in front of many people but c'mon Nicole that was just accident it was not his intention to do that. Accident happens!
Ivy Johnson / September 13, 2013
You have a point but we are talking about Nicole Kidman here and she is no ordinary person that you see everyday so I think she made the right choice to press charges.
Milka / September 15, 2013 (in reply to Ivy Johnson)


Depressed Slab - What Does Depressed Slab Mean in Construction?
Description used in the construction industry, that references the reduction of the depth or thickness of a concrete slab. This designation could incorporate an elevation requirement, due to mechanical or electrical equipment height requirements within a mechanical or electric room, or the accommodation of a " mud slab " for the installation of tile or a masonry surface that requires a mortar bed. There are several reasons that the top elevation of a slab may require an area that is lower or depressed. Care must be taken to ensure that, if there is a depressed slab identified, the architect and engineer have properly addressed this decrease in the depth of concrete, to ensure that all fire, sound or other rating requirements are maintained. If the entire slab thickness is an important element in the fire rating of this assembly, the depressed area may cause an issue of non compliance.


When you first hear the word 'prepper' or 'prepping', the first thing that comes to mind is crazy, hoarder, nutjob, or those paranoid people who have a LOT of supplies of just about everything. When you google prepper, a box appears defining a person who believes that an emergency is likely to occur in the near future and actively prepares for it by stocking food, ammunition, and other supplies. Just because they are preparing for disasters does not mean that it's the Doomsday that they are preparing for. They live normal lives, live in normal houses, and social media is part of living nowadays. If there's something preppers are prepared for, it would be living dirty for survival or to get out of a dangerous situation.
Though preppers have a lot to get when the need arises, preppers don't have plenty to spare. I think (my 2 cents) what the author is trying to say is that religion is not the reason someone preps.
Laura M you did not have to give or throw that stuff away that is so wasteful, you could have just eaten your preps.
I certainly agree in principle – there are those among my closest Christian friends who think self-defense is not a biblical concept.
Many times people say one thing, but their lives demonstrate they don't really believe what they are saying. I think the author should readdress this comment Else this website is not going to be one I visit much anymore.
In any event, I too have many Bible believing preppers who are friends and some who understand the Bible but choose not to believe. Description Guide for UK Preppers looking for doomsday survival equipment, help, tips and advice.
Best survival knife for Doomsday preparedness uk.What is the Best survival knife for uk preppers Everyone has their own preference for a survival knife but when the SHTF your going to need a a quality knife to cope with all survival. Most UK survival schools include natural medicine and foraging for foods as well as identifying the good from the bad, as well as 100's of uses for natures materials to help you survive in the wild. If bugging out is a big part of your disaster survival plan then I highly recommend enrolling on as many, varied survival courses as you can afford. Even the relatively simple tasks like skinning and preparing an animal for food is something that must be practiced – most UK survival schools go into this is in detail, making sure you gain the knowledge and bushcraft skills needed to keep you alive. This pack, for example, contains 1500Kcal of energy per pack - more than enough to keep you alive whilst sitting in your car. A good quality, winter grade sleeping bag will certainly help you to maintain body heat if your stranded in your car for any amount of time.Definitely go for a sleeping bag with a hood section - you lose so much body heat through your head, you have to keep it covered. Of course, the very best way to avoid getting stranded in your car is "Don't Go Out In Your Car In The First Place". Being prepared and surviving the winter weather if you ever did find yourself stranded in your car is easy if you have an emergency kit and plan. By clicking Confirm bid, you commit to buy this item from the seller if you are the winning bidder.
Accordingly, there has been a continuous rise of preppers over the past few years with 3 million in numbers in the United States alone. Being a prepper means that you are just prepared with enough stuff to help keep you going through a month or a year. Just like prepping for a big event, you have cabinets filled with canned goods and other supplies. When people say prepper, the image that comes to mind is a man armed with a backpack, guns, tactical gear – that sounds reasonable considering that they are preparing for a battle. But if you are part of the bigger group of preppers, their money goes to much of the supplies rather than expensive guns and ammunition. Well, you have probably seen one of his pals as saying the government is trying to kill everyone and that is the system. By the term itself, they are getting ready for any catastrophe or disaster that may come and not just for the Doomsday. They store emergency supplies such as food, first aid, ammunition, and water, among others.
Preppers are prepared for circumstances such as calamities and emergencies, but when it comes to diseases like cancer, I don't think anyone could prepare for that. 8, preppers may seem weird for most people but preppers are also capable of trusting other people. Besides, they would also like to keep in touch with the ways of the world as much as they are preparing for disasters. They are people, like everyone of us who just chose a life of being prepared for the worst times. James tells us that he will show us our faith (what we believe) by the way we act and live – our works. But also in my opinion if you are narrow minded enough to think others don't have a right to any opinion but yours then you have the right to leave the site and not come back. Additionally you could carry a water filer bottle, enabling you to melt the snow and then filter it through the bottle. There's also a dessert as well as snacks, tea, coffee and creamer, sugar, spoon, wet wipe and heat pack. Keep your clothes on - but only if they are dry and if you do get too hot, strip off a little at a time.
Chances are you will have a mobile phone with you to let others know you predicament, and tell them you safe and comfortable just waiting to be rescued. But, sometimes winter time journeys are necessary and you will always risk skidding off the road or just getting caught up in a motorway snarl-up where no one can move. But, as usual, it all comes down to 'getting your act together' and doing it now, before you find yourself in that emergency situation, In fact, I think it's essential to carry an emergency survival kit with you at all times in your car.Happy Prepping Folks. Import charges previously quoted are subject to change if you increase you maximum bid amount. Most people see them as insane or attention-getters but while preppers may be tired of hearing the same thing over and over again, some of these things may be hurtful or insulting.
Not much is different for preppers; the only difference is that people overstate the term too much, it comes out as exaggerated.
This thinking is a result of the failed government attempts to make up for the budget supposedly allotted for relief and disaster operations.
This becomes tiring to explain and it may be helpful to use actual words which you really understand.
Most preppers actually see living in the wild as a minus since no one will be able to help you in case you ran into some danger. Society has tarnished the real meaning of preppers with these stereotypes shown on TV, but maybe we should keep an open mind about accepting preppers and not judging them just because they chose to be prepared. They are so versatile.Even if you were only stuck for six hours - that's still enough time to get cold and hungry.!
Although that's unlikely as your not doing much to generate natural body heat.The consideration here is, "do I need two sleeping bags"? If you reside in an EU member state besides UK, import VAT on this purchase is not recoverable. The reason why preppers prepare is because they want to have enough food kits, water, and other necessities required for survival as long as it can be. Preppers simply put the whole plan of surviving and getting ready for catastrophic events into action and that does not necessarily mean tactical clothing is on the list. Preppers may think ill of the government, but they don't always see the government that way.
They give budgets and emergency response in front of the media but when it comes to the real action, the government can't save every person and ensure each's safety. As such, they spend their money on various items which could get them warm, hydrated, and safe. Contrary to what society has showed us, preppers teach us the simple lesson taught to scouts – that is to be prepared at all costs. You may not think so, but a large portion of the prep sites out there incorporate faith in their preps.
The manufacturers make several different meals from the all day breakfast to chilli con carni and vegetable curry with rice.
It's all about keeping yourself hydrated, fed, warm and comfortable - do that part and you'll survive a night in the freezing cold conditions of your stranded car.These heat packs are capable of generating heat for hours and hours. Come to think of it, preppers are actually helping the government by being responsible for themselves and not rely too much on the government alone. But as much as they store items, they also spend their time learning new skills because in the end, skills are what's needed. Even people who follow the same scriptures differ in opinion on certain topics and meanings of the words. But I would suggest a few more things to be on the safe side because a car can get mighty cold, very fast, once you have switched the engine off. In fact the manufacturers claim they will work for 10 hours - I've never tried mine for that amount of time! But the work very well and combined with a good sleeping bag to keep the heat in, your good to go.

Visiting the Puppet Theatre Barge on its annual summer season in Richmond is always a delight. From the moment you step off the towpath onto the rickety metal bridge and cross over to the old, converted Dutch river barge, you enter a floating world of fantasy, where nothing is quite what it seems.
The latest production is 'The Butterfly's spell' by Federico García Lorca, or in its slightly more poetic Spanish original title, 'El Maleficio de la Mariposa'. From the programme notes, I learned that Lorca was, in fact, a great puppetry enthusiast, following an early encounter with a troupe of travelling puppeteers. This makes total sense, given Lorca's love of symbolism and allegory – and when you think about it, Yerma is perfectly made for marionettes.
With a hint perhaps of autobiography, this play tells the story of a pet cockroach who rejects the love of a female cockroach because he is in love with a beautiful, broken butterfly that has fallen to earth. Originally written as a poem, Lorca was commissioned to create a full-length verse play when his recital reduced the mistress of a theatre impresario to tears.
The puppets are, as ever, beautifully made. If an ordinary puppet isn't complicated enough, imagine an insect puppet with its extra set of legs, not to mention the wing cases. The star of the show is, without a doubt, the Scorpion, a terrifying and drunken incarnation of insatiable appetite that constantly threatens to eat the entire cast. I also liked the old mother cockroach who, as well as missing a limb, walks with the aid of a spindly little stick.
Although the butterfly's poem is still very beautiful, I suspect that much of the poetry is lost in translation. That said, the voices on the soundtrack are rich and mellifluous, accompanied by beautiful strains of guitar, violin, and clarinet, even if at times it sounds a bit clicky and hissy – perhaps that all adds to the atmosphere.
So yes, I suspect this is one of those 'Marmite' productions. But love it or hate it, I believe the world is greatly enriched by having these travelling puppet theatre baristas come to visit.

Q: Do we have a limit for the number of configurations we create in AWS AppConfig application? I am creating an AWS AppConfig application for my team. we have tons of configurations which we want to move to AppConfig. Do we have any limit on how many configurations we can create?

A: The limits for AWS AppConfig are listed here. I think the one relevant to your question is:

Maximum number of configuration profiles per application - 100.


I must say, though I see the benefits of "Agree with everyone," outside of business, it seems gross to me. It's almost the definition of disingenuous and it implies basically appeasing people and letting them ramble on about whatever nonsense they may have on their mind just to get "in good with them" or to build rapport. Again, I can see how this could be very useful for business strictly, and I wish you'd clarify, because in personal relationships, though again one should be mindful of endless arguing or being over-disagreeable, one should feel free to voice their opinion even if often times it may be disagreement.
I've known people and have friends who'd be left in the ignorant dark if people didn't put up a fight and argue with them in the effort to enlighten them on a topic that is not really up for discussion or opinion (for example, the earth is round).

5 Ways to Use Visual Storytelling for Web
Visual narrative, when combined with the right measure of image and often sound, creates a level of connection and intrigue that no other technique can achieve. Emotion, anticipation and stimulation reward the active participant with a resulting heightened engagement for the site owner.
Alternately, average (static) content puts the user in a passive mode where they either consume the content or leave the website altogether. Visual stories, on the other hand, are interactive and get people to commit themselves to your story. There are several effective platforms to apply visual storytelling in the digital environment. Working with a content team to develop stories and narrative around the brand, and a creative team to implement the visuals will deliver the best outcome.
#1: Use Your Words
Storytelling via typography can be effective, however, the content must be relevant and cohesive. Taking into consideration the idea of cognitive fluency, many users only read about 20% of the content on a web site. Clearly defining the messaging that is most important, and displaying it in a typographically interesting way can increase conversions greatly. Visual storytelling via text may be the most popular and easiest method to produce but its not always the most engaging, particularly if the content is not fully developed to the targeted audience.
#2: A Picture is Worth…
The brain is able to process imagery approximately 60K times faster than text alone. Using static images, data backed infographics and background images can help to explain how a product works or convey a specific feeling while leaving room for personal interpretation. The combination of visuals and text helps to move a story along.
#3: Spring to Life
Interactivity and animation will take visuals to the next level of engagement. When the user is entertained they are much more likely to listen and want to learn more. An interactive site means anything and everything from contests to displaying products in a way that encourages or even requires visitors to click on certain categories. By displaying products in an interactive way rather than just pictures, you are more likely to engage visitors. A great example of this method is parallax scrolling.
#4: Music is what feelings sound like
Storytelling through an sound is one of the most emotion provoking methods of engagement. A voice, melody, sound effect or song will catch the attention of a user and, if the reaction is positive, draw them in further to more information. Songs, when applied, already tell a story so it's important to ensure that the message being conveyed is relative to the content of the site. Additionally, a voice – woman, man, child, deep or bright will bring an instant point of view to the messaging being narrated. Taking these aspects into consideration, it's important to be thoughtful when choosing audio no matter the platform.
#5: Show, don't Tell
The use of video and moving image has been the topic of much discussion with regard to the digital environment lately. With the addition of video features, social media has become a truly interactive landscape. Analytics show that the presence of a video as opposed to static image or text alone can increase engagement by at least 200 percent. Moving visuals are retained by the long term memory because of connection. If that connection is made with the user, they are more likely to retain and engage on a long term basis.
The bottom line is that stories, whether told via sound or motion, attract users in a powerful way. Striking a balance between relevant content and the encouragement of emotion will create the most impact.

New Professor Brings Separation Science and Sustainability Research to Department of Chemistry
By Linsey Maughan
For new Illinois Institute of Technology Assistant Professor of Chemistry Sameh Elsaidi, a passion for science runs in the family. Elsaidi, who grew up in Alexandria, Egypt, is the son of a father who teaches elementary school science. As an elementary school student, Elsaidi had his father as a teacher.
"I was always asking him a lot of questions," Elsaidi says. "His talks about how experiments worked and how atoms interact were invaluable. My father always encouraged me, and I was greatly inspired by science."
As of January 2022, Elsaidi is the latest hire in the Department of Chemistry, where his work focuses on materials chemistry and, more specifically, separation science and sustainability.
"In my group, we are working on materials design, specifically on how to think at the molecular level and how to arrange atoms and molecules in the way that you want," Elsaidi says. "I chose materials chemistry as a research area because it is a multidisciplinary field of study, and I believe that we can develop materials for a wide range of applications. I believe that we are capable of designing materials for almost any application. I believe that we can control the material at all levels, from atomic to molecular to solid-state."
Elsaidi earned a bachelor of science in chemistry from Alexandria University in 2005 and spent the next five years teaching chemistry at the university while also taking courses as a graduate student in chemistry. He relocated to Florida for a doctoral program in inorganic chemistry at the University of South Florida in 2011, earning his Ph.D. in 2014. He then worked as a visiting assistant professor at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Washington before joining the National Energy Technology Laboratory in Pittsburgh as a research scientist. Elsaidi also served as a visiting research scientist at University of California, Berkeley in 2019, and in 2020 co-founded SE-MAT Smartly Engineered Materials LLC, a manufacturer of task-specific materials for which he continues to serve as chief executive officer.
Like his father, Elsaidi finds teaching very fulfilling, and he is excited to work with students and postdoctoral researchers on projects in his lab, the Center of Separation Science and Sustainability. The group focuses on materials design.
"[Materials design] is a much broader area and gives an opportunity for my students to master not only chemistry but also chemical engineering," Elsaidi says. "It's a bridge between chemistry and chemical engineering—how to transition materials from the laboratory to the industrial scale. We are interested in developing materials for energy storage applications from a sustainability standpoint. We are attempting to recover valuable elements from waste, such as uranium from seawater or nuclear waste. This entails the extraction of various elements, such as precious metals, lithium, and rare earth elements to maintain a sustainable system."
One of the main research interests in Elsaidi's lab is separation science, he says.
"We focus on bridging environmental preservation and energy-related applications in this area of research," Elsaidi says. "For example, we are currently working on the capture and conversion of carbon dioxide, which has the potential to solve the problem of climate change while also producing clean fuels. This also falls under the umbrella of sustainability, and this is the ambition I have for my lab."
Additional projects in Elsaidi's lab are aimed at separating radioactive gases for nuclear waste management and separating hydrocarbons. He has been working with two graduate student researchers, two master's students, one undergraduate, and one postdoctoral researcher, and he anticipates three new graduate students joining the group in the fall.
"One of my main goals is to ensure my students' success in the lab and throughout their careers," Elsaidi says. "I tell my students all the time that we are a small family within the [chemistry department] and within the larger family at Illinois Tech. We are constantly striving for group success and collaborating with colleagues in our department and other departments. Our communication with one another is how we generate novel ideas, or how we ensure that our work is complementary, in order to obtain the full story and the true outcome of our collaboration."
Elsaidi expresses enthusiasm for continued collaboration across departments within the university as well as to taking advantage of the school's close proximity to other major universities and research facilities. He is actively applying for grant funding with the goal of continuously expanding the separation science and sustainability capabilities of his lab.

Remember, after you answer each question ASK the interviewer the same or similar question regarding their company. This creates a "Ping Pong" effect and forces the interviewer to SLOW down and respond to your question before firing off another question to you.
EXAMPLE: You are asked to describe a typical day at work. Tell them how you prepare before going in, the things you automatically check first when you arrive; ie the bathrooms etc., how you plan your day, use your planner, make check lists so on and so on.... AND THEN finish by asking, what is a typical day like for the managers at ______?
1. Be prepared to answer why you are interested in their company...And why you would leave your current employer. Remember they are looking to hire SHARP MANAGERS, that have done their homework on the company they are interviewing with. If you don't have enough facts about the company you are interviewing with, if you have not gone to their web-site, have not been to a unit, or talked with current successful managers for their company, PLEASE.... let me know immediately!
2. What are your strengths as a manager? This is where you sell yourself! They want to know that you are a leader, a person that is a good listener and respects others. A trainer and a coach of a winning team! A strong delegator. Someone who communicates well and takes responsibility. They want to know that you work with an ownership mentality and develop your crew to feel the same.
3. Have at least one example of how you impacted a guest. You may have purchased a meal for an unhappy customer, handled a crisis with grace, purchased drinks for guests that were overlooked on the waiting lists and ended up waiting way too long. Be specific.
4. Know Your stores P&L numbers and how you impact the numbers that your store is running. (Food Cost, Labor Cost) KNOW Teamwork, Teamwork, Teamwork is how things are accomplished and achieved!!! Great managers achieve their goals by creating and nurturing loyalty, challenge and an ownership mentality within their crew. Knowledge is power, the more a crew member understands how every things effects the bottom line, the more aware they will become of their own actions in the unit.
Following are operational questions you should write down in your own words. Please feel free to add other operational questions to your list and ask them during your interview. Be prepared to answer these questions regarding your own unit!
1. What is your goal for labor cost? Are you able to attain this number? If not, why?

3. Are sales currently trending upward or downward?
4. How is the staffing level for employees?
5. What is the percentage of employees groomed and developed into management VS management hired from the outside?
7. If I am willing to relocate for the GM position, can I truly become a GM in less than 2 years?
8. Who is your most successful manager and why?
9. If you have a struggling manager, what characteristics or traits do you see that contribute to them having difficulties? What are the steps being taken to help bring this manager up to the performance level needed for success?
Clean Cut Appearance! Very little jewelry, take out any ear or facial jewelry for the interview. Facial hair neatly groomed! Clean finger nails a MUST!
Knowledge of why you want on board with this company, High Energy Level, Aggressive Career focused Attitude, Desire for upward mobility are all key to having a successful interview!

A sure fire way to NOT BE PURSUED by a company is to state that the reason you are there at the interview is because a recruiter called and set you up an appointment.This is definitely an interview DON"T.!!!


How often do you hear that PR-effects are imperceptible and do not bring results? That PR is too expensive? Those small companies, which do not work with final buyer, do not need PR at all? This demonstrates the power of the stereotypes about PR-services.
How to deal with them successfully tells Valery Kureiyko, CEO of strategic communications company Publicity Creating.
What main stereotypes about PR-services you can call?
Most common are stereotypes about impalpability of PR, because not all agencies can prove to their customers that PR-activity leads to the marketing result. We have long been aware that communication is inextricably linked to the achievement of marketing or reputation result for the customer. Great working experience and market success of our customers only prove it.
How does your company demonstrate that PR can give quite a significant result in the form of increased sales?
Almost 13 years on the market - and this is the longest period of work among the Ukrainian PR-agencies today - gave us a great base for analysis. Experience shows that while evaluating PR-effectiveness customers fall into two categories: those who are willing to undertake research and see direct result of the PR program (for example, how has changed opinion / attitude of the target audience to their product or brand in %). And the second category is customers who do not conduct research. Because during their cooperation with us, changes in opinion and attitude, and after that – behavior of the audience, have become evident for them.
For instance, potential dealers tell our customer: "We want to work with your company, because we know a lot about you, your company is well-known, reliable, and professional". Or call new clients, because they believe this company is the best in its segment ... How do they know this information? Particularly, that is achievement of PR, because we saturate the market with desired, positive information, we reason price, form the image and reputation. All our customers have informational security.
Is there a perception that the PR is the same ads, just more expensive? How do you react to such a stereotype?
To date, most already know that advertising and PR are two different things. Advertising is a direct informing the customer with all the embellishments, because it is a paid publication or introduction. PR is certainly more objective and two-way form of communication. PR should be diverse, comprehensive, truthful, active, and must lead to something. If a customer stated specific objectives in the beginning of the period, in the end we have to say about their performance. Many our customers have risen on these steps: make plans, express them, embody, and then confirm that plans are achieved. Such an "easy" process. Thus, a customer rises higher and higher. And competitors at this time often "sleep" – they have no PR, no reliable partner in this area, there is no saturation with positive information.
And about that it is expensive ... Just the opposite, PR-activities are always cheaper than direct advertising, and this is at comparable, and often higher efficiency. In general, forward-thinking customers are not interested in the figure itself, but in the result of every invested hryvnya.
Many people think that only politicians and showbiz stars need PR, but your company has been providing the PR- services to B2B-markets for many years. How have you persuaded your customers?
We make "stars" and "politicians" from our customers:)) They are information and ideologically supported. They are "politicians" in the sense that they have an ideology, and "stars" – because they are becoming popular, respected speakers in their direction, market, and known in the business environment. These are popular people, to whom the media address as soon as something happens in the market, or at the beginning and end of business season for scoring of projections and results. People, who are ambitious, who seek publicity, with our help become such. But what is more important - from communication activity they also receive marketing result.
How many people believe that the PR is an organization of single large-scale events, but is not regular pointlike work with the audience?
Usually we deal with companies who believe in the PR-communications and want to work in this direction. We must develop an information model for a certain period, and the customer understands that this is not one-off activity, but a system, a constant stream of interlinked key messages. How ambitious evens are to be – that is dictated by goals, objectives, target audience and budget. Most companies do not need gala-show; they just need pointlike work with target audiences - partners, dealers, investors, employees, customers ... You just have to distinguish PR in the market B2C and B2B.
And some believe that public relations are the only relations with the media ... Is this true?
Last 2 years are interesting because this stereotype has naturally dissolved. Firstly, the media started to decrease in number, and some of them – in quality. Secondly, many companies "saw the light" and realized that we have to work with audiences that generate revenue – i.e. with consumers, partners, customers, employees. Journalists in this sense are supporting audience.
Publicity Creating as far back as 2007 on the Ukrainian PR-market started to assert that PR should be associated with the marketing result. Maybe because of that we and our customers have experienced better the crisis of 2009 and 2010, continued to hold appropriate activities on all the really important target audiences.

Decal sheet with Chevy, Nova, Super Street and JConcepts badges.
JConcepts has adapted the iconic 1991 Ford Mustang into a street eliminator machine. The Mustang is intended for street racing and drops to popular SCT conversions and drag racing builds currently in the market. You certainly don't have to be a professional driver or performance enthusiast to enjoy a Ford Mustang. The only prerequisite is an appreciation for the fun of driving and the need for speed.
One look at the JConcepts design and realization sets in, this is one bad racing machine. The ground effects styling tells you this car was not designed with basic transportation in mind, its meant to hit the track in a straight-line. After more than a quarter century, the Mustang is still a favorite, mention the words "Fox body" and you'll always get smile from any motor head. It's really pretty simple, with a Mustang, you get a contemporary and bold look, legendary fighting spirit and huge driving fun.
JConcepts looked to build on the street eliminator class by adding the "Fox Body" to the line-up. With past success used as a guideline, the R&D team spent time breaking down the early model Mustangs and arrived at the roughly 12.75" wheel base and 10.75" width. The size accommodates the trend of utilizing SCT trucks as drag racing platforms. The end result has a low-slung appearance, tight wheel well openings, hood-scoop, bobbed tail and an extended front fascia. As an addition, JConcepts has included a rear spoiler option which attaches with an under / over technique.
Each package also includes a the custom window mask, 1991 generation Ford Mustang specific decal sheet and clear polycarbonate body. The product is always backed by JConcepts customer service, supported and used trackside by our world-wide racing team and developed by professionals with style and authenticity.
JConcepts relied on its strength of team drivers and enthusiasts for this creation. The research team attended the 2018 Super Nationals at Texas Motor Speedway. Fred Reep and JD Crow displayed the new body as a first look to a crowded field of RC drag racers. The JConcepts prototype was mounted on a Traxxas Slash 2wd base vehicle converted to drag racer. The build team constructed the vehicle using as many stock Traxxas components as possible including Bandit suspension arms and big bore performance shocks.
The end result has the Slash / Bandit combo ready to race for street eliminations in any bracket racing formula. A complete decal package was custom created and fit to each section of the body. Licensing approval was completed in July of 2018 with Ford for the most authentic look and finish. Photos, video and production shots followed up to the official release. For more information on building a Traxxas Slash, Street Eliminator concept, check out the feature in the JConcepts Garage.
Note - The lower rear spoiler support is mounted carefully to the back of the trunk using double sided tape or shoe goo (not included). The upper wing section sits down on top of the base and is attached with the same technique described above. The rear spoiler provides the look and finishing touch to the street eliminator project.
The custom 2wd Slash chassis build info can be found HERE.
The Ford Mustang body measures approximately 12.75" wheelbase and the inside dimensions of the body are 10.75" wide front and 11.375" rear. The body is built for a 2wd SCT wheelbase length and narrowed to more resemble the original 1:1 counterpart. It's helpful to plan your build, take measurements and modify your platform to fit inside the boundaries of the body.
The JConcepts display vehicle is fitted with and available separately, Hotties tire (#3193 front) and (#3194 rear) made specifically for the 12mm hex StarTec wheels (#3387B) front and rear. The Hotties are purpose built drag racing tires that look the part and available in multiple compounds to suit demanding needs. The StarTec wheels are injected molded for durability and light-weight performance and available in the stealth black color.
The chassis shown in the photos measures 12 5/8" axle to axle.

The Tango è un cortometraggio muto del 1913 diretto da Frank Wilson.

Trama
Due ballerini parigini di tango mostrano gli errori più comuni fatti nella danza e la versione per le sale da ballo.

Produzione
Il film fu prodotto dalla Hepworth.

Distribuzione
Distribuito dalla Hepworth, il film - un cortometraggio di 152 metri - uscì nelle sale cinematografiche britanniche nel dicembre 1913.

Si conoscono pochi dati del film che, prodotto dalla Hepworth, fu distrutto nel 1924 dallo stesso produttore, Cecil M. Hepworth. Fallito, in gravissime difficoltà finanziarie, il produttore pensò in questo modo di poter almeno recuperare il nitrato d'argento della pellicola.

Indian-American political legend to run for Congress
Last updated on: March 09, 2015 19:52 IST
'It is very important for Indian Americans to understand that we need to have as many seats at the table as we can get. I am going to see to it that I am going to get there," Kumar Barve, the longest-serving Indian-American legislator in America, tells Aziz Haniffa/Rediff.com in an exclusive interview.
The Indian-American community could well be on track to boast of its second member in the US House of Representatives next year.
Kumar Prabhakar Barve, 55, a Democrat who is today the dean of Indian-American legislators, has decided to run for the soon-to-be vacant seat in the state's Eighth District.
The seat is being vacated by US Congressman Christopher Van Hollen, one of the most influential Democrats in the House.
Van Hollen has declared his candidacy for the US Senate seat being vacated by Senator Barbara Mikulski, 78, who has served in Congress longer than any woman in history, announcing that she will retire next year after serving five terms in office.
Barve, born in Schenectady, New York, was the first Indian American to be elected a state legislator -- being first elected to the Maryland House of Delegates in 1990.
Twenty-four years later, he is the longest-serving Indian American lawmaker, and perhaps has the record for the number of legislative awards won for introducing and successfully getting enacted landmark legislation affecting the lives of millions of Marylanders.
In an exclusive interview with Rediff.com, on the eve of his formal declaration of his intent to run for the US Congress, Barve noted that if he won the Democratic primary in April 2016, he would be a shoo-in for the Congressional seat in the general election in November 2016 since it is a heavily Democratic district.
"The only reason I hadn't announced immediately when it was known that Chris Van Hollen's 8th District seat would now be an open seat was because administratively there are a lot of things you've got to get right."
"Now I am going to run hard for this seat," he added.
If he is victorious, he will join Dr Amerish 'Ami' Bera, the California Democrat, as the only two Indian Americans in the US Congress.
"All my friends in the Indian-American community, we cannot wait till March of 2016 -- we have to organise now," Barve said, adding that conservatively he needs to raise over $2 million to run a viable campaign.
"I am running because America is seriously off track," Barve said. "We are not a nation that addresses big problems anymore. We blow unimportant things out of proportion. We have the Republican Party, which is actively seeking to undermine the institutions of our country."
Also, he argued, "I strongly believe it is very important for Indian Americans to understand that we need to have as many seats at the table as we can get. I am going to see to it that I am going to get there. Ami Bera and I are going to bring plenty more people with us."
"I only wish my grandparents and my father were alive to see this," said Barve, quite emotional over his decision to make a bid for Congress, after years of serving as Maryland's House Majority Leader.
"The fact is, especially for my grandparents who faced a lot of discrimination in the United States in the 1920s to see me and other Indians doing so well in this country is something that would have made it all worthwhile to them," he added.
Barve's father, the late Prabhakar Raghunath Barve, who hailed from Tarapur, Maharashtra, left India just after Independence and went to England where he was an architect and got a job with the ministry of works, renovating bombed out facilities from World War II in London.
His mother, Neera Barve, 88, who now lives in an assisted living facility, had joined her father Shankar Lakshman Gokhale -- who had first come to the US in 1911 -- and mother, years earlier along with her siblings.
Barve's grandfather had come to the US as a research scientist for GE, and lived in Schenectady, after a teaching career and serving as principal of the Holkar Science College in Rajkot.
On a visit to Edinburgh, Scotland, Barve recalled, "he (Gokhale) ran into Charles Proteus Steinmetz, who was the chief science officer at GE, who invited him to go to Schenectady for work at the GE facility there."

Kumar Barve's letter to supporters and likely voters after he announced his decision to run for Congress
My family, like so many others, came to America for freedom and opportunity. As they left India and traveled across the Atlantic they knew they would face hardships but they were hopeful that they would succeed.
Now, that dream is in jeopardy for millions of American families. There is no longer confidence that working hard and playing by the rules means being able to provide for your family.
I am announcing today that I'm running for the open 8th Congressional district of Maryland to help rebuild our middle class, restore hope in the American Dream, and grow our economy so that everyone has an opportunity to thrive and the freedom to live as they wish.
I made history in 1990 at the age of thirty-two when I was elected to the Maryland House of Delegates and became first Indian-American ever to serve in a state legislature.
For 25 years as a legislator, I have worked to earn your trust. As Majority Leader in the Maryland House of Delegates, I helped lead the effort to build the best public school system in America.
I worked to foster economic growth through investments in biotechnology and information technology. I also fought to raise the minimum wage, expand health care to working families and keep college tuitions low.
Today, as Chairman of the Environment and Transportation Committee, I'm battling the Republican agenda to roll back environmental protections that make our families and communities safe.
In the private sector, I'm an accountant and the Chief Financial Officer of a local environmental and hazardous waste remediation company. I know how to create jobs, promote the private sector and still protect the environment.
I am ready to take my experience working for economic growth and fighting for our middle class to the federal level. I will build on the legacy of my friend, Congressman Chris Van Hollen, who is seeking the open Senate seat.
When my dad crossed the Atlantic in 1958, wondering what America held for him and his family, he probably never imagined his son would ever get the opportunity to run for Congress. This isn't going to be easy. Offering bold and innovative proposals to rebuild our middle class and grow our economy never is.
But with your help, we can do this together and make our country great again for everyone.

The recent warm weather in England has inspired many to take up outdoor swimming – perhaps for the first time – but our love for lidos has been around for centuries.
All recreational swimming originally started outdoors – in rivers, lakes, ponds and canals and from the late 17th century purpose built establishments were offered for hygiene, relaxation and medicinal purposes.
One of the oldest surviving purpose-built outdoor pools, is the Cleveland Baths just outside Bath, built in 1815. Facing the pool is a block of changing rooms set out in a crescent. It is now listed Grade II*.
The late 19th century saw a rise in ponds in public parks being used for swimming, including, Highgate Ponds on Hampstead Heath and the lake at Victoria Park, Hackney, now used for boating.
Outdoor pools were developed, which were walled in with a lined pool tank, like Brockwell Lido in London which opened in 1937.
South Bay Bathing Pool in Scarborough was designed by former Borough Engineer, Harry W. Smith. It was the first of its kind in Britain and included diving boards, water chute, different depths, changing rooms and showers.
Margate in Kent was popular for sea bathing and in 1937 the construction of an expansive concrete-walled Walpole Bay Tidal Pool at Cliftonville allowed hundreds of bathers to enjoy the waters at once.
The increasing concern regarding the purity and safety of pool water in the 1920s and 1930s inspired the creation of outdoor pools with concrete, tiled tanks and water filtration systems. Due to the vibrant entrances, changing blocks, cafes and sunbathing areas, these outdoor pools became known as lidos, which is the Italian word for 'beach'.
Tall diving boards were also once prominent, but most have been dismantled for health and safety reasons. Only three outdoor inter-war concrete diving platforms are known to survive and two have been listed at Grade II: Coate Water Diving Platform, Swindon and the Diving Stage at the former Purley Way Lido, Croydon.
Some of our best-loved lidos are on the coast. Tinside Pool in Plymouth and the Jubilee Pool in Penzance – both listed Grade II – combine modernist design in a dramatic setting, and are among the most representative building types of the 1930s.
There has recently been a rise in lido refurbishments. A notable example is the Grade II listed Uxbridge Lido, in the London Borough of Hillingdon built in 1935, closed in 1998 and reopened in 2010. Among its listed structures by G Percy Trentham is a freestanding reinforced concrete grandstand.
So grab your cossie and head down to the pool, 'cos nothing says British summer time quite like a lido!
So interesting! I spent a lot of my early childhood summers at Southport Sea Bathing pool with my family and friends, so this brought back many great memories.
It's a pity that both Scarborough pools featured in this article no longer exist.
