Capturing Leads on the Show Floor, What's the Best Way?
First things first, in order to capture quality leads on the show floor you need to make a good first impression to attract potential prospects to your stand. Creating the wow-factor for your exhibition stand is vital to standing out at an exhibition, and consequently to creating a strong impression and capturing leads.
While you've heard it countless times, first impressions really do count when it comes to attracting business traffic. Even though your organisation may have first-class products and services, poor visual appeal can steer potential customers away from you and into the hands of the competition.
So, how do you keep customers interested long enough to convert them into qualified sales leads? Here we discuss the best capture tools and solutions for tradeshow exhibitors, to persuade those potential customers to sign on the dotted line.
Providing an incentive to your potential prospects in order to gain their contact information seems like a simple concept, but it's often overlooked… the more original and creative the incentive, the better.
For example, customers like receiving freebies, so why not set up a prize giveaway, free food and drinks or have some notable freebies for clients to stop by and collect, and ideally remember you by.
You may be exhibiting to promote a new product, so why not tempt prospects to your stand with product demos or testers of your products for client to try out, in a casual, comfortable way, so as not to scare them away.
No matter on the incentive you choose, take to social media to spread the word. If you have some fantastic freebies on offer, you should be letting everyone know, be it on Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn, or ideally, all three.
Some visitors can be wary of stopping at exhibition stands for fear of being stuck with a salesperson that won't let them escape, or get a word in edgeways. Therefore, be mindful to listen before you speak. Let visitors choose to engage with you, and if your charming smile doesn't win them over at first, then allow your capture strategy to take full effect.
Whether it is your comfortable seating area, the freebies you provide, the food and drink on offer, or simply the fact that you're offering a retreat for visitors from other exhibitors, providing an innovative and engaging space can provide a perfect opportunity to capture the interest of your prospect.
Consider that your competition at the event will all be striving to poach potential prospects, so those added engagement techniques will give you the upper hand. Also, an effective way to entice people to your stand is by focusing on what your competitors aren't doing. So, if they're gregarious and imposing, put your focus into being small and comfortable.
Ultimately, generating sales leads at trade shows is the crucial success factor for exhibitors. But first things first, you need to choose the right software for your business.
Be it mobile badge scanners with lead qualification tools, attendee mobile apps, lead retrieval systems and so on. It's essential to have software that can be fully integrated into your CRM tools be it Salesforce, Pipedrive etc.
It's also important the lead form is customisable in terms of fields, contact details, priority, sales potential etc. Lastly, it's worth considering if the tool you've chosen to assist your business offers automatic follow-up procedures, like setting reminders, sending follow-up emails etc.
Yellobox is a perfect example of new and exciting technology that enables event exhibitors and attendees to swap contact information, distribute digital content and prioritise leads without the need for an app, Bluetooth or beacons. Look out for events that use this type of technology, as it's a real aid when concerning the capturing of new leads.
Making use of an events lead capture tool not also makes it easier for attendees to collect information about your exhibit; it means you can walk away from your event with an orderly stack of qualified leads, instantly ready for your post-show marketing campaigns. All in all, it's a win-win.
Once you captured your leads, following up is the next crucial step to making it all worth the while. Don't let those connections slip away from you. Send out an email, make a phone call or connect on social media and ideally, do so promptly. It shouldn't take a lot to get the wheels in motion, and by following up, you will be remembered by the prospect long after the exhibition ends.
If you'd like more information on gathering quality leads with help of an established event provider, please contact Sovereign Exhibitions today on 01676 549000.

March 1, 2008 Fiction
Tom had been promising for some time to take Stevie to the zoo, and today was the day. He paid their admission and the two entered the zoo grounds, passing the gift shop, built to resemble an African hut. Stevie wanted to rush inside and Tom had to lure him away with the promise of cotton candy. A thick, musky animal smell lifted into the morning air.
The storks and cranes stood pressed together in foot-deep brownish water. They seemed to be molting or shedding -- whatever it was such birds did -- and there were patches of pink skin showing through their feathers. Feathers floated on the water. One stork, apparently very old, kept opening its beak and making a sickly rasping sound. "Daddy," Stevie cried, pointing at the bird, "is that who brings the babies?"
"Yes," Tom said, secretly terrified by the thought.
The polar bears were a great favorite of Stevie and the others who clustered around their enclosure. By this point the sun beat down tirelessly, and one bear took shelter in the shade, panting as she stared off at some distant point, ignoring the crowd. The other performed lap after lap, slipping into the pool, swimming underwater past the glass, pushing off with his hind paws, then climbing back out to shake himself dry. Wash, rinse, repeat. Small children pounded on the glass, and Tom could see sweaty handprints and saliva smeared over its surface.
Stevie kept begging for his cotton candy, but Tom managed to convince his son to have some lunch instead, so they found an empty table at an outdoor snack bar and ate. At the next table over sat a group of retarded people who had come on a field trip. The retarded people ate their meals with civilized grace. It was one of the chaperones, a large woman in a tentlike t-shirt and spandex shorts, who sat picking her nose in a lazy, unencumbered way. "What?" she snapped at Tom, who couldn't help staring. Embarrassed, he turned away.
"Daddy," said Stevie, making things worse, "that woman is picking her nose," pointing to avoid any uncertainty.
"I know," Tom said, gathering up their trash and taking Stevie's hand, all the while avoiding the woman's gaze.
A dingo enthusiastically licked its crotch as someone snapped a picture.
They entered the darkened reptile house. Tom had an aversion to snakes, but Stevie wanted to see each one and would stand with his nose pressed to the glass, sometimes pounding on it until spotting the serpent coiled among leaves or dangling from a branch. Stevie wasn't tall enough to see the signs posted over the cages, explaining how venomous the species were, but the building had been arranged in such a way that each subsequent snake was deadlier than the last, a symphony of inner terror for Tom which reached its crescendo with an innocuous looking brown and tan snake, Deinagkisrodon Acutus, the Hundred Pacer. According to the sign, its victims, once bitten, stumbled a hundred paces before collapsing. Did the zookeepers really need to post such facts? The air smelled sweeter to Tom as they emerged from the reptile house, and he gulped great lungfulls of it.
Tom bought Stevie his cotton candy and they sat on a park bench sharing it between them. Tom already felt a bit queasy from the heat, and the sugary candy did little to improve his condition. Nearby two employees were cleaning out an empty cage. "I finally convinced Loraine to let me give her a golden shower," said one of the men, leaning against the wall of the cage, which according to the sign had at some point housed a Tibetan wolf.
"What's a golden shower?" asked his partner, hosing down the concrete slab, and the man proceeded to describe an act so disagreeable that Tom couldn't believe it existed, or that someone might voluntarily agree to it. Quickly he gathered Stevie up and guided him toward the giraffe enclosure, praying his son had been focusing on other things during the employee's speech.
Both giraffes looked to Tom like females (or males), which is to say he couldn't tell them apart, but as he and Stevie stood at the fence, they watched some innocent-looking nuzzling develop into something more serious. One giraffe mounted the other, his penis emerging from a waxy sheath. Tom couldn't help but think of swords, especially since the act seemed so vicious to him. The giraffe's penis was roughly the size of a human's, though pinker and slimier and more generally vulgar. Stevie was instantly enrapt. "Daddy," he called, "what are they doing? It looks like one is hurting the other one." Some of the other viewers turned and waited with anticipation to see how Tom would respond.
"No, they're fine," Tom said. "That's just their way of playing."
By the end of the day, Stevie was exhausted and Tom had to carry him through the gates on his shoulders. They drove home in silence, but overall Tom's son seemed pleased with his first visit to the zoo. "Did you guys have a good time?" Jan asked when they stepped through the door. She had been watching TV and an ad for a fast food chain played silently in the background -- a bikini-clad woman held a hamburger in one hand while hosing down a sports car with the other.
"Yeah, it was great!" Stevie said before dashing off to his room to play with some animal figures his father had bought him in the African hut.
"What about you?" Jan asked her husband as he collapsed on the couch.
Tom thought of his own trips to the zoo as a child, eating the same junk food, viewing the same animals, riding his father's shoulders. "It was fun," he nodded, smiling, and felt pretty sure it was true.

TBI Network helps people chart new life paths after brain injury
Buckeye Stories
Though the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Network sees more clients from disadvantaged backgrounds and minorities than other providers in Ohio, the truth is that TBI can affect anyone, regardless of race or socioeconomic status.
When "Jessica" (name withheld for privacy) came to the TBI Network seeking assistance, she struggled with depression and alcohol dependence, as well as the question of what she should do with the rest of her life. "Jessica" is a Caucasian woman who worked for more than 20 years as an elementary school reading specialist. Then, one day at work, she fell on the stairs and suffered a TBI. A few years later, she fell again. The cognitive impairments were severe enough to force her into early retirement and onto the state disability system.
The TBI Network counselors noticed that "Jessica" seemed reserved and cynical, mistrustful of not only other people but also herself—attributes they say that are common among people who suffer from TBI. They helped her join a woman's support group and get sober. They also helped her identify a new career path as a drug and alcohol counselor.
The past two years haven't been easy. While working toward her credentials and personal recovery from TBI, "Jessica" was diagnosed with breast cancer. She went through treatment and maintained sobriety, bolstered by the practical and emotional support she received from the TBI Network staff. Today she is like a new person, someone who seems relaxed and optimistic, having achieved her new career goal with a job offer as a drug and alcohol counselor.
"Our clients have taught me resilience, and the importance of persistence," says case manager Tim Schilling. "I marvel that these people have suffered deficits and losses that dramatically changed their lives, and yet they have the willingness to keep going and learn new ways of doing things. They've shown me that we can accommodate these life changes and still achieve our goals."

James Lipton Fondly Recalls His Days As a Pimp
By Dan Amira
NEW YORK, NY - MAY 03: James Lipton attends the James Lipton and Stanley Cup in store event at NHL powered by Reebok Store on May 3, 2013 in New York City. (Photo by Taylor Hill/Getty Images) Photo: Taylor Hill/Getty Images
Lipton was in charge of "a whole bordello" full of prostitutes in Paris following World War II, he tells Parade. But he wasn't the abusive, pimp-slapping kind of pimp. "The French mecs didn't exploit women," he says. "They represented them, like agents. And they took a cut. That's how I lived." He adds, "It was a great year." (For him, not the women who were desperate enough to have sex with people for money.)


We had a fantastic time on Sunday with some great boys on one of our classic Bush n Bash experiences. We had a brilliant afternoon running round, playing in the mud and enjoying the countryside.
Today we had one of our Urban Canoe safaris on the Fourth and Clyde Canal.
Yesterday we had a great bunch of boys on one of our fantastic Bush n Bash Experiences. These are a fantastic way to get kids enjoying the countryside.
We had a great punch out today on a very social canoe safari in autumnal weather, we spotted a wide range of wildlife and learn some new things about local heritage too. At one point a Heron was just meters from some guests. Lots of time exploring the out the way places along the canal and fascinating facts about the environment .
and aim to engage and interest others in Scottish heritage.

Weston band have back catalogue released - almost 56 years after forming
Published: 12:00 PM December 31, 2020 Updated: 9:22 AM January 18, 2021

A rock 'n' roll band from Weston have had their entire back catalogue released, almost 56 years after they made their first recordings.
Fumble were popular in the 1970s, touring with Bill Haley and Fats Domino, backing Chuck Berry, supporting David Bowie on two American tours and appearing in Elvis: The Musical.
After 16 years, four studio albums, and 15 singles, the band called it a day in 1982.
But one of their founding members Des Henly was approached by Cherry Red Records, who asked if they could buy the rights to release all of their recorded works in a four-CD box set, including their BBC sessions.
The set, which includes 92 tracks and a 40-page booklet, was released on November 27.

Lead vocalist and guitarist Des told the Mercury: "Earlier this year I got an unexpected phone call from Cherry Red Records asking if they could pay to licence one of our tracks, Free The Kids, then a week later they asked to do our whole discography.
"I went on BBC Points West to discuss the release; it all happened very quickly and came out of nowhere.
"We began playing in Weston many years ago and went on an amazing journey, playing at some incredible venues with some huge names."

The roots of Fumble lay in the friendship between Des and Mario Ferrari, who had known each other since they were three years old, growing up together in Weston.
By the late 1950s, they were both obsessed with American rock 'n' roll. Des had acquired a guitar after seeing the Elvis Presley film Loving You in 1957, while Mario had been taking piano lessons since the age of five, although he would later switch to bass.
In 1962, Des and Mario joined forces in a band called The Iveys, which also featured Mario's brother Remo and, on drums, John Watson, although the latter was quickly replaced by Bob Davies.
Having played their first gig at Weston's Grand Atlantic Hotel, they went on to build a local reputation over the next couple of years.
The Iveys broke up in 1967 when Remo got married and Bob joined the army.
However, Des and Mario were keen to continue their musical journey, and they subsequently met two students, pianist Sean Mayes and drummer Barry Pike, who together formed The Baloons.
Although a recording contract eluded them, The Baloons continued to work regularly, both abroad and at home - including gigs at London clubs the Scotch of St James, Samantha's and Whiskey-a-Go-Go, alongside several bookings at Liverpool's world-famous Cavern Club.
In 1971, they changed their name to Fumble and in September they released their first album, Fumble, on the EMI-Sovereign record label.
A US tour with David Bowie followed in spring 1973. Bowie used them as a support act on two separate tours and would later add Fumble's pianist, Sean Mayes, to his own band.
Speaking about Fumble, Bowie was quoted as saying: "I adore them. They're very unpretentious about revamping that whole era."
Back in Europe, they performed on the famous German TV-show Musik Laden.
That summer saw them play several festivals all over Europe including Reading Festival, Alexandra Palace Festival, the Clitheroe Festival and Roskilde Festival in Denmark.

By the end of the 1970s, Fumble had played with Chuck Berry several times, supported Pink Floyd and Paul McCartney, and were regulars in clubs including The Cavern Club, The Marquee in London, Dingwalls and the Rock Garden.
In June 1980, they went to South Africa to support Bill Haley on his very last tour. At the end of 1982 the band stopped touring, but continued to play occasional gigs in their home town.
Des still lives in Weston and works as a guitar tutor.
He added: "All we wanted to do when the band started was to play Europe and get to see as many countries as we could.
"We actually never were conscious of the fact that someday we might hit the big-time the way I suppose most bands do. We were in it to travel."

Vermont Summer Festival
Six Weeks of Top Equestrian Competition in Vermont's Green Mountains
Mark Bluman and G&C Blue Gallop to Victory in $10,000 Not Your Daughter's Jeans Welcome Stake
Aug 09, 2012 For Immediate Release, MEDIA CONTACT: Lindsay Brock for Jump Media LLC, Tel: 518-586-6258.

East Dorset, Vermont — Colombia's Mark Bluman and G&C Blue, owned by Gustavo Mirabal, were the winners in the $10,000 Not Your Daughter's Jeans Welcome Stake, presented by Manchester Designer Outlets, on Thursday, August 9, at the 2012 Vermont Summer Festival. The six-week Vermont Summer Festival is running at Harold Beebe Farm in East Dorset, VT, from July 4 through August 12.
Eric Hasbrouck is the course designer in the grand prix ring for the sixth week of jumper action in Vermont. In Thursday's $10,000 Not Your Daughter's Jeans Welcome Stake, Hasbrouck saw seven out of 30 entries jump the first round course without fault. Three went double clear in the jump-off, and it was 21-year-old Mark Bluman and G&C Blue who had the fastest time of 31.21 seconds for the win.
Wednesday's $5,000 Open Jumper 1.40m winners, Tracy Magness and M/M John Bartko's Tarco Van Ter Moude, finished second. Magness, of Hughesville, MD, blazed through the short course in 33.27 seconds as the seventh entry to go with Tarco. Their time held the lead for most of the class, but was surpassed by Bluman 19 rounds later.
Catherine Tyree, of Barrington Hills, IL, had the only other double clear in the jump-off with her horse, Wetter. The pair stopped the clock in 35.70 seconds to finish third. Venezuela's Luis Larrazabal had the fastest four-fault jump-off round in 33.27 seconds to earn the fourth place prize riding G&C Flash, owned by Gustavo Mirabal. Larrazabal and Flash were the winners of last week's $10,000 Welcome Stake, which was sponsored by Vineyard Vines.
Riding for G&C Farm, Mark Bluman and Luis Larrazabal are on a roll in Vermont. The two have been friends for almost eight years after meeting at a children's show jumping championship in Ecuador, and began working together full time this year. With Larrazabal winning the class last week and Bluman earning top prize this week, both riders were very pleased. They cheer each other on from the sidelines and share in each other's success.
"We get as happy as we could be for each other," Bluman said after his round of honor. "If Luis wins, I get really happy and if I win, he gets really happy. We are a team and I think that we are going in the right direction and we are doing such an amazing job together."
Bluman's winning mount on Thursday was G&C Blue, a nine-year-old Selle Francais gelding by Mr. Blue x Bigtime. Bluman got the ride on Blue just this year and is beginning to form a good partnership. The duo finished second a few weeks ago in the $25,000 SmartPak Grand Prix in Saugerties, NY, and was ninth in the $30,000 Manchester & the Mountains Grand Prix in Vermont last week.
"Our barn manager, Elizabeth Rae, used to ride him since he was a four-year-old and Gustavo bought him this year for me to ride," Bluman explained. "He is a really good horse. He is getting better and better every day."
"He is not an easy ride," Bluman acknowledged. "I have to ride him in a hackamore; he doesn't like any bits in his mouth. It took me a while to find out that the hackamore was the right bit for him and it worked really well."
Bluman and G&C Blue won Thursday's class with a bold gallop through the jump-off course. Bluman showed first aboard G&C Quivola, but had a difficult round and then felt determined to have a good ride on Blue.
"In the first round, the jumps were not too high, but it was very technical," he stated. "There were a lot of problems to the Swedish jump and my first horse stopped, so I was just focusing on riding well to the Swedish jump with the second horse and he was jumping really well. He is feeling amazing and he was really good."
"The jump-off was really fast," Bluman recalled. "When you are young and hungry and you want to win, you don't care about what happen; you just have to go for it."
After the exciting win, Bluman acknowledged his supporters at G&C Farm and trainers, Helio and Rodrigo Pessoa.
"I would like to say thank you to Gustavo and the whole G&C team, including my trainers, Helio and Rodrigo and all of them," he smiled.
In addition to the cash prize for the Welcome Stake, the first and second place riders received a prize valued at $500 from Not Your Daughter's Jeans and $500 from Polo Ralph Lauren.
Offering more than $750,000 in prize money, the Vermont Summer Festival is the richest sporting event based on purse in the state of Vermont. The first five Saturdays of the Vermont Summer Festival feature a $30,000 Grand Prix. The $50,000 Vermont Summer Celebration Grand Prix will be held during the sixth and final week on Saturday, August 11.

I am sending this from Madison WI. I got here yesterday and we already met with some of the conference participants and had a nice dinner in an Afghan restaurant. Then ice cream followed by various beverages (mostly beer though). Very nice people!
In the next 2 days, there are going to be two training classes, brian d foy runs the 'Zero to Perl' workshop and I am running a 'Test Automation using Perl' workshop. There is going to be a Hackathon as well during thes 2 days.
Then the main part of the conference start. I expect several reports in the next issue of the Perl Weekly.
Christopher Frenz gives an overview of some of the Perl modules used in scientific computation such as PDL - the Perl Data Language, Statistics::Descriptive, Statistics::R, BioPerl and a few more.
Another rant by chromatic about the need (or no) of scale. In every training class I run people ask me if Perl is fast? In every class I need to explain the difference between fast and fast enough. Though I think I understand them. I saw so many badly written applications (in other languages as well) that were way slower than they could be.
Based on this article from the ReadWriteWeb Python, Ruby and PHP are more popular for open source applications, but Perl is used more within companies.
Christopher Frenz is improving on his earlier example of home-made data validation by using the Data::Validate module from CPAN.
Yanick made some improvements and released a few new modules: Reducing start time from 60 to 2 secs using Git::CPAN::Patch (with Mike Doherty). Keeping the pizza with Email::Simple::Markdown. CPAN::Changes can now guess how did you write cHanGes. Use Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ChangeStats::Git in case you don't have enough staistics in your life yet. GitStore. Perl::Achievements with Daniel Bruder. Two extra *::YANICK modules.
How do you add primary, unique, and foreign key constraints to an existing database if you don't have direct access to it? As in the case of an application installed at clients. fREW Schmidt has the answer.
fREW Schmidt is explaining how they used to do application deployment and database upgrade which promped him to the creation of the module. Then he starts showing use cases of the modules. The first one is backing up the data.
A script by Christopher Frenz to help you with basic information of an MS Windows machine. Things like memory, disks, networks, etc.
Nicholas Clark continoues his work on core perl. This time he was mostly cleaning up the build process. This might a be good opportunity to ask The Perl Foundation how much money do they have left in their budget and how are they raising more money for such grants?
Dave Mitchell was mostly working on code-blocks in regexes.
Moritz Lenz has finished his Perl 6 grant and details everything he delivered within the grant.
Mojolicious in the cloud: Hello Heroku!
Sebastian Riedel is showing how to deploy a Mojolicious::Lite application to the cloud.
Christopher Frenz seems to be new to the Perl blogging. It's now his turn to raise the issue of promoting Perl. He raises a few good points and he also links to the Perl Weekly!
I usually list the next 3-4 events here. The list of all the events can be found on on the web site. If your Perl event is not in the list, let me know.

India climbs six spots to sixtieth position on Global Innovation Index
India continued to climb on the Global Innovation Index (GII) 2017, emerging as the highest ranked economy in Central and South Asia, as it moved up six places to 60th among 130 nations, the latest report released on Thursday showed.
Last year, India climbed up the innovation ladder to reach 66th position from 81st in 2015 - an improvement after five years of continuous drop in its ranking.
In the 2017 index, co-authored by Cornell University, INSEAD and World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) Switzerland, Sweden, the Netherlands, the US and Britain retained their top spots as the most innovative countries. China improved to the 22nd spot, from 25 last year, while Singapore featured as the seventh most innovative economy.
The report said that India's rise has benefited many countries in the region.
"Opportunities have emerged to leverage the rise of new East Asia Innovation Tigers, fostering deeper regional innovation networks and benefiting from the rise of India," it said.
"As demonstrated in the GII for some years, India has consistently outperformed on innovation relative to its GDP per capita. Recently, it made important strides in innovation input and output performance," it added.
The report also noted India's continual improvement in terms of investment, tertiary education, quality of its publications and universities, its information and communication technology (ICT) services exports and innovation clusters.
"It is to be hoped that India will continue on this trajectory, with innovation investments leading to more and more dynamic R&D-intensive firms that are active in patenting, high-technology production, and exports," the report said.
In a statement here, the Indian Commerce Ministry said that recognising the country's potential to reach great heights in innovation and creativity, a task force on innovation was set up last year on the direction of Commerce Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.
"The Task Force on Innovation had the mandate of assessing India's position as an innovative country, suggest measures to enhance the innovation ecosystem in India and thus improve India's ranking in the GII," the statement said.
"The team, comprising of government officials and experts from private organisations and academia, has come up with its report which gives specific measures the measures to improve India's rank," it added.

Q: How to debug Azure Functions Core Tools with VS Code debugger? I'm locally developing a Node.js app with  Azure Functions Core Tools. I would like to debug it with help of VS Code debugger, but I get this error:
Cannot connect to runtime process, timeout after 10000 ms - (reason:
Cannot connect to the target: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:5858)

For debug option, I've chosen "Attach to JavaScript Functions". This option was there by default and I haven't created it.
Here is content of my launch.json:
{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
{
  "name": "Attach to JavaScript Functions",
  "type": "node",
  "request": "attach",
  "port": 5858,
  "preLaunchTask": "runFunctionsHost"
}
]}

How can I fix this issue and make the debugging to work?

A: Surprisingly issue was resolved by itself. So I close this issue.

MTH Premier 20-2405-3 EMD #786 GP38-2 Non-Powered Diesel Locomotive
In the late 1960s, EMD responded to a rash of complaints that the GP30 and GP35 were less dependable than their predecessors. They created the GP38 and its variant, the GP38-2. A descendant of the famous EMD F-Series engines, the GP38-2 became as much a staple on the railroads in the 1960s and '70s as the F units were in the 1940s and '50s. While the GP38-2's prime mover provided less horsepower than its contemporaries, its reliability and excellent performance as a general purpose locomotive made it among the best selling of the Geeps. Almost every domestic railroad, large or small, has had its name printed on the side of a GP38. The GP38-2 will be a stalwart of your railroad, just as it has been on the prototype rails. Let this powerful engine, available in five roadnames - Canadian Pacific, Electro Motive Demonstrator, Florida East Coast, and Rock Island - show you what reliability means. Did You Know? There are many internal differences between the GP38 and the GP38-2, the most important of which is that the -2 made the AC/DC electrical system standard for the engine.

Purchasing domains is a pretty simple process, but we can provide a little extra advice and help to make it much more effective and simpler.
1. Keep your domain name as short and simple as possible, make it easy for customers to remember.
2. If the domain contains key words it can help with search engine rankings (yet this isn't essential).
3. Hyphenate for domains with many words e.g. www.you-can-read-this-clearly-now.com as against www.youcaneadthisclearlynow.com. This will help when domains are on advertising boards or the side of vehicles, a place where people need to recognise the domain quickly.
4. What suffixes are most appropriate?
We can advise, research, register and renew your domain for £25 + vat per year.

Bulgaria has slipped down in the international team ranking
Bulgaria has slipped down in the international team ranking published for this month by the highest Football governing body FIFA.
Bulgaria's position in January rankings was 72nd, but, in new rankings which came out earlier today, they were at no. 75.
As far as the rankings at the top are concerned, it's more or less the same with the Belgian team still acquiring the first place
From Bulgaria's point of view, it's not a big slip up though and it has happened as they have not played any international game of late.
However, if you see the previous 8 to 10 months, that period has been slightly disappointing for the Bulgarians.
Their Euro qualification campaign last year ended in disappointment as they got eliminated from the group phase itself, ending at no. 4 in Group H.
They actually played some good Football towards the end of the group phase, but, having dropped valuable points in the matches in the earlier rounds; it was a tall order for them to secure qualification despite consecutive wins in the last 2-3 games.
They, however, would like to get over that failure and would prepare well for the qualification campaign of another big tournament, which is the biggest of them all, the World Cup.
The World Cup qualification games start in the second half of this year and Bulgaria has got a difficult group.
The European powerhouses Holland and France are also in the same group.
So, Bulgaria will have to prepare well and it's good for them that they are going to have a lot of matches under their belt ahead of the start of the qualification tournament.
They have some friendly games coming up next month and then, they would be taking part in Kirin Cup too in summer.

PUBLIC DOMAIN: SAW VIDEO COMMISSION
WED, SEP 21 / 7 pm
Introduced By Artist Steve Reinke and Christopher Rohde from SAW Video
Steve Reinke is an acclaimed writer and video artist who has had screenings and exhibitions around the world including the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa),the Centre Pompidou, the Tate, International Film Festival Rotterdam and the New York Video Festival. He is currently associate professor of Art Theory & Practice at Northwestern University. He is the co-editor, with Tom Taylor, of Lux: A Decade of Artists' Film and Video and, with Chris Gehman, the forthcoming The World is a Cartoon: Artists Animation at the End of Cinema. He has co-edited several books and won the prestigious Bell Canada Prize for Video Art.
Public Domain originated as a video commissioning project of SAW Video, a media-art centre located in Ottawa, Canada. In 2009, seven artists were selected from a national call for proposals to create videos drawn from archival films and photographs held in the collection of Library and Archives Canada. Over the course of a year, SAW Video assisted the artists with the process of researching and collecting materials for use in their work. The completed commissioning project premiered in Ottawa on June 24, 2010. Many of the documents used in these pieces are seen for the first time out of the archives and in the context of art.
The Beauty Pageant News (dir. Sara Angelucci, 2009, Canada, 8:47 min.)
Angelucci assembled this melange of "Miss Toronto" with dozens of contestants parading in their swimsuits before a panel of judges and thousands of on-lookers. Also used is a soundtrack from a 1950s radio program "What makes you tick" to examine attitudes expressed towards women at the time.
Beyond the Pale (dir. Maureen Bradley, 2009, Canada, 16 min.)
This film examines the life and death of artist Maureen Bradley's great, great aunt, Kate Tubridy who died in the Lounge Point Insane Asylum near Montreal. Maureen was never aware of her existence until her mother discovered her death certificate at the asylum. Using films and photos from the late 19th and 20th century, Bradley posits a number of fictions that Kate's life might have taken before living out the final third of her life in the asylum.
Vortex (dir. Gennaro de Pasquale, 2009, Canada, 12:08 min.)
An experimental video which combines fragments of films of different genres (fiction, documentary, animation) most of which date from the early 20th century. Vortex brings to mind the tumultuous movement of an overflowing waterway.
Not Torn (Asunder from the Very Start) (dir. Steven Reinke, 2009, Canada, 9:57 min.)
The archive is a mausoleum that pretends to be a vast garden. Memory is an irridated zoo in which the various animals are mutating extravagantly and dying slowly.

Chant (dir. Suzan Vachon, 2009, Canada, 23:32 min.)
A video composed primarily of film archives from the first half of the 20th century. "These images when I screened them were experienced as a powerful fuel for the contemporary imagination."

In 1956, Thimmig joined the newly formed Bundesluftwaffe and was the Military Attache of the Federal Republic of Germany in Sweden between 1959 and 1963. In addition to that, he was the Nigerian Air Force's Chief of the Air Staff from 1965 to 1966. He was the second Commander of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), and given the task of continuing the creation of an air force for Nigeria under a 1963 agreement between Nigeria and Germany. Thimmig and the German Air Force Assistance Group (GAFAG) withdrew from Nigeria in January 1966, when their mission of creating the air force was completed.

Summary of career

Aerial victory claims
Foreman, Parry and Mathews, authors of Luftwaffe Night Fighter Claims 1939 – 1945, researched the German Federal Archives and found records for 23 nocturnal victory claims. Matthews and Foreman also published Luftwaffe Aces — Biographies and Victory Claims, listing Thimmig with 23 claims, all of which claimed in Defense of the Reich.

Awards
 Honor Goblet of the Luftwaffe on 28 September 1942 as Hauptmann and Gruppenkommandeur
 German Cross in Gold on 12 July 1944 as Hauptmann in the III./Nachtjagdgeschwader 1

Bill seeks to shield domestic violence victims
Some fear it also protects abusers
By Joshua Miller Globe Staff,July 15, 2013, 12:00 a.m.
When police Chief Thomas LaCroix of Waltham was arrested last year on charges he assaulted his wife, the story made headlines, he was suspended from his job, and his neighbors expressed shock.
LaCroix was convicted last month and resigned from the force on Wednesday.
But under a bill pending in the State House, that arrest would have been kept secret, public police reports devoid of his name or any identifying information about him.
The idea behind the legislation is to protect the privacy of domestic violence victims by keeping their names shielded from public view, much the same way as rape victims are treated.
Yet the bill goes further than that. It also requires that the names of those accused of domestic violence be kept secret.
Supporters say it is important to keep victims' identities hidden to encourage them to report the attacks.
Others, however, question whether the legislation goes too far; they say that in working to ensure victim confidentiality, proponents are limiting the public's right to know about those who have been accused of crimes in their community.
"It's a chipping away of basic freedom of information," said Peter J. Caruso Sr., an attorney specializing in media law who read the bill.
The idea for the legislation came after a high-profile domestic violence arrest in Weston several years ago. Police Chief Steven F. Shaw starting hearing that subsequent domestic violence victims in Weston were hesitant to pursue their cases out of fear their names would be publicized.
"The women said to my guys, 'I'm not interested in pressing charges. We saw what you did to the other people with their names [showing up] in the paper,'" Shaw recalled.
He spoke to his state representative, Alice Peisch, who introduced the bill.
Keeping the name of the accused confidential, Shaw said, is important because it is often too easy to link the victim and the attacker in a domestic violence case.
"If you put only the name of the abuser in the paper, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to connect the dots," he said. "I'm just looking to make sure that the people who need help, feel comfortable calling for it."
Robert A. Bertsche, a longtime Massachusetts-based media lawyer, analyzed the legislation and said it is troubling in that it "keeps all information out of the logs and out of public hands" at least until an arraignment.
"If we want to combat incidents of domestic violence, we want people to know about how much it happens, under what circumstances it happens . . . when it is a repeat incident," he said. "I think it goes far, far further than it needs to in order to achieve its laudable aims.''
Michael J. Sullivan, a former federal and Plymouth County prosecutor, agreed that parts of the bill could be "problematic."
On the one hand, he said, it is important to protect victim confidentiality: "You want to encourage victims to come forward." But, he said, it is also important for the public to know about domestic violence incidents.
Peisch, a Wellesley Democrat, acknowledged such concerns were legitimate.
But, she said, "I believe that the reality at the moment is too many victims don't report, so there is never any record at all and there is no opportunity for it to go through the criminal justice process."
Maureen Gallagher, director of policy at Jane Doe Inc., a Massachusetts-based coalition against sexual assault and domestic violence, said her organization supported victim confidentiality but did not yet have an official stance on the legislation.
The bill has been introduced in previous years without gaining much traction and may meet the same fate again this year.
Former Middlesex County district attorney Gerard T. Leone lauded the intent of the legislation because, he said, domestic violence cases are "so underreported."
He cautioned, however, that it might limit important disclosures.
"There should be something that covers the public's right to know," he said.

text: Q: Cloudflare Argo Tunnel gives 502 bad gateway sometimes, but it's fixed when I reload I have a Cloudflare Argo tunnel with two subdomains. Each of them points to a port on localhost. About half of the time, when I visit those subdomains, they show 502 bad gateway, even though the gateway works fine. If I reload the page it works as expected but sometimes it takes 2-3 reloads. Visiting localhost:port on the host machine works fine too. What could be causing this? One of the subdomains is my API so it's essential that it works on the first try.

Lucic was penalized for charging on this play. Lucic did have a meeting with Shanahan about this, but no suspension came of it.
I believe that is the right decision. Don't get me wrong, I whole-heartedly agree with Miller's characterization that this was "gutless" and I love that he was willing to use the phrase "piece of s**t" to describe Lucic. Furthermore, I think Lucic is lying through his teeth with his justification of "I did everything I could just to brace myself. Like [Miller] said, I have 50 pounds on him. So that's probably why he might've got the worst of it."
On the debate of whether or not goaltenders should enjoy the protected status when roaming beyond their crease, I understand both sides of the argument. It would make for a simpler rulebook, and end the advantages goaltenders have against players with less equipment if it's clear to goaltenders their privileges end at the blue paint (doing this by changing the rules on "goaltender interference"). On the other hand, because goaltenders wear an extra 20 or so pounds of equipment, they will never be able to reach speeds of their skating counterparts (which is why goalie races are hilarious), so perhaps some added protection is in order.
But there is one thing I know for sure, Lucic's hit has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with whether or not a goaltender is "fair game" beyond the crease. Lucic could make a legal body check on an opposing defenseman in this situation, and if this were an otherwise legal body check on Miller, then perhaps the goalies-should-be-fair-game advocates could use this as an example.
But this is a textbook charging call. Lucic built speed for about 100 feet, Miller was to the puck before Lucic, by a large enough margin where he should've slowed down into the impact (as he would have to in order to avoid a charging or boarding call if hitting a defenseman). Lucic didn't stop his stride until he was just a few feet from the impact. All the elements of a charging call are clearly present. The goalies-should-be-fair-game folks would do well to not to use this incident to make their case.
And yet, these folks' reaction to this hit is probably why the NHL will never do away with the protections provided by goaltender interference rules. If the league ever did that, they just open the referees to too much criticism if they ever do have to penalize a hit on a goaltender that meets the standard of a penalty for a hit on any other player. Instantly, the penalized player will go straight to the "he's fair game" defense. If referees hesitate because of this, I'm afraid there will be a de facto higher standard on severity for penalizing hits on goaltenders in comparison to hits on skating players. If you don't believe me, there are many posts out there like this that don't recognize that this would've been a penalty against any player, not just a goaltender.
Did the refs get this right? Yes, a charging penatly was correct.
Was this cheap? Yes it was.
Should Buffalo have retaliated? Absolutely.
Is Lucic's explanation beliveable? Not in the least.
Should there have been a suspension? Probably not. Now on the other hand if Lucic had targeted the head, I'm sure he'dve been in for a 5 game Shanaban, but that's not the case here.
What did the wheel of justice say? "Paltry Fine: Milan Lucic has been fined the paltry amount allowed in the CBA as a result of his actions on Ryan Miller. In reviewing this play, we also took into consideration that Milan Lucic plays for the Colie's son's team, the Boston Bruins.."
Out of date because Gregory Campbell is now a Florida Panther, but still funny :).

The Copperbell Mines is a Dungeon in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. Players are required to complete the dungeon as part of their main story questline around level 17-20. It requires a party of 4 players, and features three unique bosses, each with their own mechanics. As the third and final introductory instance, it is a step up from Sastasha and The Tam-Tara Deepcroft in difficulty, while not being excessively hard to complete.
Copperbell Mines Dungeon Tour
As Copperbell is based in Ul'dah's zones, the enemies within will be similar to those outside. Spriggans, bombs, and more will await players; though most of these do not have unusual strategies, players must be aware of bomb-type enemies, which can explode and cause instant death to anyone caught in the radius.
Kottos the Gigas
The first boss of Copperbell Mines is a two-stage fight, beginning with an onslaught of weak spriggans, which simply must be gathered and killed by the party. Healers should not be hard pressed, however they may pull aggro due to their casting, and tanks must be aware so they are not swarmed in the early going. After the spriggans are done spawning, Kottos himself joins the fray, and is a straightforward battle afterward. He does have a weak AoE attack, but should die within seconds of spawning.
Ichorous Ire
A blob/flan type monster, the Ire is not fought in the traditional manner, as it is immune to damage. During the fight, players will right click an "Improved Blasting Device" switch near the middle of the room. This will spawn a Blasting Cap bomb monster that will eventually explode; the boss must be caught in the blast radius, which will cause it to divide into two smaller blobs. These steps are repeated a second time, to create 4 blobs, then a third time to create 8 blobs, which can then be damaged and killed by the party. The only mechanic change mid-fight is that spriggans will spawn and attempt to kill the blasting cap, so those adds must be killed by the DPS to win the fight.
Note, the blasting cap and the Ire itself (with exception of the final incarnation when it has split into 8 pieces) should not be attacked by anyone except the tank, and only then to hold threat during the fight.
Note, the explosion from the blasting cap will kill any player caught in its radius as well, so it must be avoided.
Gyges the Great
The final battle of Copperbell Mines is completed by utilizing a great deal of control over the adds that spawn throughout the fight. Gyges himself has relatively few mechanics, though a frontal cone AoE attack can cause a great deal of damage to the unwary if they are struck by it. When the boss nears half health, he will begin to run to two large boulders in the room, and begin attacking them. The first boulder will always be destroyed by the boss (this cannot be prevented), and will allow reinforcements to spawn, which will attempt to break the second boulder. The DPS will need to kill the adds to keep the boulder from being broken, then return to the boss to continue damaging him. If the second boulder breaks, two adds will join the fight every few seconds, and attack the party.
A melee character using a single-target Limit Break can often make this fight quick if it is used after the first boulder has been destroyed. A caster using a AoE Limit Break can also help to recover if a large number of adds spawn, however that should be kept as a last resort, with damage focused on the boss instead. All adds despawn when Gyges reaches 0 HP.
Optional Strategy
After the first boulder breaks, ignore the adds and just burn the boss down as fast as possible. He will die before the adds can even break the second boulder.

Q: How to print an inverted pyramid? These are what I'm currently working with:
row = int(input('Enter number of rows required: '))

for i in range(row,0,-1):
    for j in range(row-i):
        print('*', end='')

    for j in range(2*i-1):
        print('0',end='')
    print()

And this is the current output:
0000000
*00000
**000
***0

I can't figure out what to change to have the correct output

A: Add another asterisk-printing loop before printing a newline.
row = 4
for i in range(row, 0, -1):
    for j in range(row - i):
        print('*', end='')

    for j in range(2 * i - 1):
        print('0', end='')

    for j in range(row - i):
        print('*', end='')

    print()

prints out
0000000
*00000*
**000**
***0***

(For a more Pythonic solution, you could just
row = 4
full_width = 2 * row - 1
for i in range(row, 0, -1):
    row_zeroes = (2 * i - 1)
    print(("0" * row_zeroes).center(full_width, '*'))

but I suspect that's not the point of this exercise.)

A: you can use f-string and siple nth number from the formula a + (n-1)*d
row = int(input('Enter number of rows required: '))

for i in range(row):
    print(f'{"*"*(i+1)}{"0"*(2*(row-i-1) - 1)}{"*"*(i+1)}')

For Hong Kong, Chinese-style capitalism may be a bigger threat than communism.
Hong Kong. Did you know that Hong Kong leads the world in per capita consumption of oranges? That it has the world's biggest neon sign, is home to 25 of the world's 50 busiest McDonald's, and boasts the world's highest number of Rolls-Royces relative to population?
If you didn't, you will. Well in advance of the mobs of reporters, editors, film crews, radio disc jockeys, news anchors, and photographers now descending on the territory to cover the July 1 transfer of power–8,400 at last count–the press handlers in the Hong Kong government wisely assembled mounds of prepackaged material. The result: a journalistic Gresham's law, whereby hard news is driven out by the sheer volume of fluff and clichés. Time, for example, not only availed itself of much of the government bumph in its special 1997 issue, but also added fun facts of its own (e.g., "most breathtaking bathroom view"). Newsweek trotted out not one but two illustrations of old opium smokers. And TV-network crews have been parked beside the territory's flagpoles, waiting to stock up on footage of the British standard being lowered against a dusk-lit sky.
Still, the arrival of foreign newspeople has not been without its headaches for Hong Kong's business and political establishments. They are now complaining about negative coverage that focuses on disputes over the electoral arrangements for Hong Kong's legislature and the fate of civil rights. That is only to be expected, inasmuch as most of the aforementioned 8,400 reporters are interviewing the same three or four people–democrats Martin Lee, Emily Lau, and Christine Loh. But Hong Kong's wheelers and dealers should consider themselves fortunate. Because if the press ever did decide to move seriously past politics, it would discover that the real threat to Hong Kong's future may have as much to do with Chinese-style capitalism as with Chinese-style communism.
That threat arises from the blurring of lines between the kind of pro-business regimes (with all the attendant corruption) that characterize the rest of Asia and the pro-market regime that has distinguished Hong Kong until now. When Gov. Chris Patten, who himself comes from the "wet" side of the Tory fence, sharply increased social spending in his budgets, the business community thundered (rightly, I happen to think) that the proposals had been introduced with scant regard for long-term implications. Mainland officials were livid, seeing the initiatives as a last-minute British effort to rob the territory of its riches by saddling it with a European welfare system. "Spiritual opium," Beijing called it.
Y et Hong Kong's champions of laissez faire and low government spending have been curiously silent in response to the new signals coming from the top. Just the other day, Chief Executive-designate Tung Chee-hwa–who will take over from Patten come July 1–sent a very loud official signal by declaring that "a noninterference policy would not meet the needs and strengthen the competitiveness" of today's Hong Kong. The remarks echo a similar speech Tung made in December to the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce in favor of a "new industrial direction" that would look more kindly upon state subsidies for preferred businesses.
In this Tung has been supported by a large number of Hong Kong businessmen, many of whom oddly–and despite their success–see Singapore as a better model for Hong Kong than Hong Kong. Were the legions of reporters to look as closely at Tung's business as they do his politics, moreover, they might discover that he is closer to a Korean chaebol chieftain than to a Hong Kong entrepreneur. Not only does Tung's container-shipping line operate within a cartel market where routes and quotas are routinely carved out, but it was bailed out, as he acknowledged last year, by the Chinese government in 1985 when on the brink of bankruptcy.
And raiding of the reserves is only one worry. Although hailed by no less than the Heritage Foundation as the world's most open economy, colonial Hong Kong has retained many notable exceptions to the rule, exceptions that may prove more costly after July 1. The banking industry, for example, is run by a cartel that until recently fixed interest rates every Friday. The same insulation from market forces prevails elsewhere in the non-traded sector. Even today, everything from legal and medical services to airlines and utilities is almost immune from market competition thought good for everyone else. About a year ago the chairman of Cathay Pacific, Peter Sutch, defended such arrangements, saying that "unfettered competition" would destroy the "stability" of the market.
Over the past two years or so, Chinese interests have been buying into these companies, usually at a substantial discount to the market. This is not simply a matter of substituting Chinese for British vested interests. For one thing, the British vested interests didn't also regulate their own industries, as the Chinese state firms frequently do. For another, mainland-connected players generally are able to buy in at much better terms than anyone else–certainly at terms better than their balance sheets suggest they deserve. And so the Hong Kong we have on the eve of the handover is one where Jimmy Lai's Next Group–the most popular Chinese media group in Hong Kong–cannot find an underwriter to take it public. Yet when Beijing Enterprises, a company with nothing to show but its connection as the investment arm of the Beijing mayor's office, made an initial public offering in Hong Kong last week, there were almost 1,300 applications for each available share.
None of this means that Hong Kong is about to go bust. So long as China continues to develop, Hong Kong will get a substantial chunk of that growth. But the market has clearly signaled a future in which guanxi, or connections, will count as much as traditional pluck and enterprise. Such an outcome invites an irony that would be appreciated as much by Lenin as by Adam Smith: that the same businesses whose investments have done so much to undermine communism in China may be responsible for bringing down capitalism in Hong Kong.

Attorney Lawrence McCreey of Lihue, HI; dirty old man
The state of Hawaii presented Lawrence D. McCreey with a law license in 1975 after he graduated from the University of Michigan Law School.
In one matter, Larry, 64-years-old at the time was arrested and charged with harassing his 21-year-old female client, after the victim complained that he had taken it too far with her.
The lady stated that Larry stuck his tongue into her ear while they were discussing her child custody case. She also said that he made a weird sound before he initiated an unwelcome hug.
She also said that while Larry was touching her arm, he said "you look so good, and too bad you are married."
After a bench trial, Larry was found guilty of harassment and fined a mere $250. However, the sentencing judge appropriately called Larry "a dirty old man."
As we speak (ca. April 2016), Larry practices at 4265-B Halenani Street in Lihue, Hawaii.


Larry Myhre is the Co-host, and a cameraman at Outdoorsmen Productions LLC. As an Outdoors Editor at Sioux City Journal, and former Editor-in-Chief at The Sioux City Journal, Larry has had a long career in the journalism business. Larry is an avid photographer and lives in Sioux City Iowa.

A Festa do Charolo ou Festa de São Gonçalo é celebrada todos os anos na aldeia de Outeiro, no concelho de Bragança.

A festa começa com uma dança ao som de gaiteiros da terra, em que os homens erguem uma rosca na mão. Quando a dança termina, as roscas são partidas e divididas pelas pessoas que assistem à festa.

Depois segue-se o leilão de roscas tradicionais dispostas no Charolo (um andor decorado com cerca de duas centenas de pães doces), que são leiloadas por 10 mordomos da festa.

Terminado o leilão mordomos e populares vão entregar a festa às pessoas que, no ano seguinte, ficam encarregadas de organizar a festa.

Depois segue-se a "pandorcada", em que população local segue a dançar de porta em porta, e em cada casa a que vão lhes é oferecido "comes e bebes" tradicionais.
