While the home page of the website does provide a PWR Coin road map graphic as well as a time line this was meant to give a very simple and basic overview at a glance. To provide a more in-depth description of specific road map tasks we have provide the information below for your viewing.
Note: We will always do our best to produce all roadmap items on or ahead of schedule and we also reserve the right to modify the roadmap due to unforeseen complications or if we determine that a better choice exists.
PWR Coin which was a previously dead coin got picked up by a new development team consisting of Disaster Faster, PlainKoin, Gary Hobson and Crypto Ethano.
An entirely new digital footprint was created for PWR Coin that included: Domain name, website, Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Youtube, Github, Reddit, Bitcointalk, Discord and Telegram. This also included an assortment of professional background graphics for each platform.
PWR Coin was listed on CryptoHub Online exchange and began trading.
During the 1st quarter of 2018 a temporary website had been put up. At this time that website was completely reworked to create a professional online presentation for PWR Coin.
A basic roadmap graphic and timeline for anticipated tasks were made available on the website and at Bitcointalk. It was also shared on all our social media channels.
A comprehensive white paper outlining PWR Coin and our use case with PWR Pay was released and shared on all our social media channels.
The release of PWR Coin QT wallet version 2.0 brought a variety of very important fixes and updates to the coin. A security flaw was addressed, new features were added, seed nodes were hard coded for easy synching, POW was turned back on, POS staking was drastically reduced, all new graphics were added, cross compile routines for Linux were developed, extensive testnet testing was completed, a 64 bit Windows version was created and more.
Four professional short intro marketing videos were created as well as one longer video which details coin specifications and use case.
A variety of tutorial videos were created on topics such as download, setup and encryption, staking optimization, backup procedures, how to send/receive coins, how to import private keys, how to use the paper wallet, how to pool mine, etc.
A paper wallet was developed and released which allows for storing coins off line in a paper printed format.
A tipping bot was developed and released for use at Discord. The primary focus of the tipping bot is for community entertainment and community building. It also is a useful tool for community managers to pass out coins for bounties and rewards.
A branding push will make use of our short intro videos and these will be marketed on the various social channels. We will also be offering rewards and bounties to encourage community members to help with the branding push.
A marketing push will make use of our explainer video and this will be marketed on the various social channels. We will also be offering rewards and bounties to encourage community members to help with the marketing push. Additionally, we will create display graphics that will be advertised at a market cap site CryptoCap World and we will also do a bounty campaign for signature advertising at Bitcointalk.
All market cap sites which list PWR Coin will be checked for accuracy and any needed changes will be submitted to them. At this time, we will also research to see if there are any market cap sites which do not list PWR and any of those will be submitted to for a new listing.
We will be submitting PWR Coin for listing at a midrange exchange Crex24. We will also be submitting PWR Coin for listing at a midrange decentralized exchange BarterDex.
A community survey will be conducted prior to this quarter to determine demand for any needed wallet features and enhancements. At this time a new wallet version will be released which includes any agreed upon features as well as any other fixes that may be needed.
A lightweight wallet version that is cross-platform compatible will be developed and released. All required infrastructure will be provided by the dev team.
A tipping system will be developed and incorporated into the existing tip bot. This will be used at Discord and set up to drizzle or rain coins on users who have elevated their roles and status in the community by being actively engaged and meeting specific criteria.
A dice game will be developed and released for use at discord. This will be a form of entertainment for the community where they can use coins and take a chance to roll dice for rewards. The dice game will be making use of an interface to the existing tip bot.
A marketing analysis will be performed to analyze the success of previous efforts. This will then be used to determine the most effective methods that will be continued going forward.
A marketing push will focus on growing the size of our community and we will leverage presenting previously released items such as the tipping system and dice game.
An in-house mining pool will be developed and released. All required infrastructure will be provided by the dev team.
At this time, we will be getting listed on a much bigger exchange Mercatox.
A marketing push will focus on the upcoming release of our PWR Pay ecommerce payment gateway. The advertising channels will include all social channels as well as Bitcointalk. We will also be leveraging bounties to motivate the community to help us have greater reach.
An android wallet app will be developed and released. All required infrastructure will be provided by the dev team.
The PWR Pay ecommerce plugin will be officially released for Woocommerce (WordPress). Additionally, an online shop will be added to the PWR Coin website and it will make use of the PWR Pay plugin.
A PHP based widget will be developed and released at the PWR Coin website and an API will also be made available so that other selected websites may also make use of the PWR Coin faucet.
A marketing push will focus on use case statistics and user feedback for the PWR Pay plugin. The advertising channels will include all social channels as well as Bitcointalk. We will also be leveraging bounties to motivate the community to help us have greater reach.

Disney Nature's African Cats", in theaters April 22, features many extraordinary animals and their children growing up on the African savanna.
Disney Nature's African Cats", in theaters April 22, features many extraordinary animals and their children growing up on the African savanna. The movie follows lions Mara, Layla, Fang, and Kali, and Sita, a cheetah, and her cubs. The movie tells us about the struggles growing up as a animal on the savanna and the similarities that connect us all, animal or human. For every ticket sold in opening week, Disney will donate a portion of the profit to the African Wildlife Fund (AWF) in order to help save the savannas.
I had the opportunity to talk to Dr. M. A. Sanjayan, a conservationist and African cats enthusiast to learn more about the movie, and how he begun his career. Sanjayan is the lead conservationist for the Nature Conservancy. He was born in Sri Lanka, but moved to Africa when he was five, Sanjayan has been around animals his whole life. He told me about his house in Africa, which was built on stilts, and sometimes had animals going under it! Sanjayan said, "My school was a dirt hut, with no doors and no windows and a mud floor. Just spaces. Sometimes monkeys would swing through my classroom."
He talked about his childhood fascination with animals, and said that to be a conservationist, you have to keep that childhood fascination through adulthood, and said, "I remained a kid at heart, even as I grew up." On the savanna where Sanjayan grew up and now works, he spends most of his time talking to local tribes and seeing how they feel about the animals that surround them. Most of these communities are nomadic people who raise cattle, and Sanjayan believes that by working in the savannas, it is possible to find the ideal balance between nature and people.
Sanjayan's job is like an "explorer", because he gets to travel all around the world, see all sorts of animals, and talk to all kinds of different people. Being a conservationist can be a frustrating job as well. Sanjayan said, "You can go days without seeing the animals you have been looking for," and continued, "it is sometimes hard to come up with a clear message about why nature is important. Once people are adults, they have lost the wonder they had as children."
In the movie "African Cats", you can see these incredible animals and learn about their lives, just like conservationists would. Sanjayan has had the opportunity to see parts of the movie, and told me about why this movie is different than most documentaries. "The movie has absolutely breathtaking photography," Sanjayan said. He knows the Masai Mara, the area in Kenya in which the movie was filmed. He said the movie features things like lions fiercely attacking crocodiles and the mothers nurturing their cheetah cubs. The movie also shows four adult male lions all together in the wild, something that Sanjayan has never seen before. The movie exhibits the similarities that connect us all, lion or human. Sanjayan said, " The story is really about kids growing up. It doesn't matter if they are human kids, or lion cubs, their stories are the same."
As a conservationist, Sanjayan has some tips for kids who want to save the planet. For this Earth Day, Sanjayan says to go on a picnic with your family. He said," Kids get told too often to go plant a tree, when the little things, like appreciating nature are what really counts." He also said to go see "African Cats" , so the money will be donated to the African Wildlife Fund.
To learn more about Dr. Sanjayan and The Nature Conservancy, go to www.nature.org or www.disney.com/africancats to learn more about how you can help "Save The Savannas."

Q: Android: Moving EditText when softKeyboard appears is there any way to define how far a view is moved up when the soft keyboard appears? In my case i have a Username and a Password EditText close to the bottom of my view, when the user now clicks on the Username field the soft keyboard appears and the View is automatically moved up so that you can see the Username EditText. But then the user is not able to see the Password EditText, which is kindof counter-intuitive. When the user once klicked on the Password Field and then goes back to the Username Field everything looks like i want it to look.
Im am using Android 2.3.3 API Level 10
I did add
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"

in my activity since i don't want the view to resize when the keyboard appears.
without keyboard:

with keyboard and Username focus:

after click on password - also desired behaviour after click on Username:

Vehicle Excise Duty (VED)
Published Thursday, 23 November, 2017
Louise Butcher
This briefing paper explains the policies of successive governments towards the setting and design of vehicle excise duty (VED) for cars and other vehicles. It gives information as to the exemptions from payment and how the Government enforces its collection. It also describes the most recent change to VED: those introduced for new vehicles from April 2017 and those affecting diesel vehicles from 2018.
Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) (373 KB, PDF)
Download full report Download 'Vehicle Excise Duty (VED)' report (373 KB, PDF)
Motoring taxation is made up of two elements: vehicle excise duty (VED) – a tax on ownership; and fuel duty – a tax on use. Although historically the road fund tax was considered a hypothecated tax to pay for the building and maintenance of the road network, this has not been so since 1937 and it is now a general revenue raising tax. Changes to the rates and coverage of the duty are made in the annual Finance Acts.
The Labour Government introduced a new system of VED, based primarily on carbon dioxide emissions, for cars registered on and after 1 March 2001. This 'graduated' scheme was extended in May 2009 and a new 'first year rate' was introduced.
The Coalition Government introduced a road user levy for vehicles weighing more than 12 tonnes from 1 April 2014 accompanied by a VED rebate, and from 1 October 2014 it abolished the paper tax disc, with minor knock-on changes for the VED rules.
In the first Budget of the Conservative Government in July 2015 the Chancellor announced a further reform of VED from April 2017, which effectively abolished the graduated system for new cars registered after that date. From the 2020-21 financial year income from VED in England will be hypothecated to a new road fund, to contribute towards the costs of the Strategic Road Network (SRN). In the 2017 Autumn Budget the Chancellor announced new VED rates for the most polluting diesel cars, to take effect in 2018.
All rates can be found in DVLA leaflet V149.
Other research briefings on fuel duty, tax and roads-related issues can be found on the Parliament website.
Passenger purchases of alcohol and tobacco
This note sets out the rules regarding the tax treatment of alcohol and tobacco purchases made by passengers, which have been amended as a consequence of the UK's exit from the EU Single Market from 1 January 2021.
VAT on sanitary protection
This note discusses the way sanitary protection is charged VAT - more specifically, the Labour Government's decision, announced in the March 2000 Budget, to introduce a 5% rate on sanitary protection, the lowest rate then permissible due to EU VAT rules, and the current Government's announcement in the 2020 Budget that a zero rate will apply from 1 January 2021.
The UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement: summary and implementation
Parliament has been recalled to adopt the legislation required to implement the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement. This briefing provides an overview of the Agreement and the Bill to implement it


Now this is where the fun begins. Step 2. Hardware shopping.
For my first shopping trip, I invited two of my friends (Martin and Fred) to come join me in my quest. We met at my apartment for some strategic planning and final blueprinting as well as going over a checklist I had put together. After some tweaking and fine tuning, we decided to pay a visit to a known computer parts zone near in a city about 30 minutes from where I live. This place is called Gilmore IT Center, they have a multitude of shops located in the area, it's basically like a shopping mall for anything related to computers.
We stormed the place, checklist in hand, cash in my pocket.
Like I mentioned in Part 1, I went in search of what I consider the main organs of the rig first. My initial checklist for these two pieces of hardware were as follows: an AMD Phenom II X4 960T Black Edition for the CPU.
This actually changed as we scoped out all the shops in the zone. The processor I was initially looking for was no longer available, apparently, these processors are already being phased out to make room for the newer FX series aka "Bulldozer" processors of AMD. This was something I initially missed out during the intelligence gathering phase which caused me to make adjustments on the spot. But I suppose this was bittersweet, after asking all the stores, apparently the Phenom II X4 960T Black Edition was no longer available on the market. All hope seemed lost but I went back to 1 store that had very knoweldgeable salespersons and they said they had 1 piece remaining for an AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition. I said I would come back after doing a quick check of it's specifications and canvassing around in other shops (one shop actually used the same item from store I previously went to and tried to raise the price on me!), I finally decided to go back and take the last piece from the very first store I had checked.
The processor I have selected is the AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition, it is a 3.3GHz Hexa Core CPU, I won't go into deep detail since everyone reading this probably has access to the AMD website anyway. :] Unfortunately though, I went over budget for this one because I had to shell out a little more cash for the processor I chose since the original one was no longer available. I had to sacrifice purchasing my Motherboard on that same trip which was the original plan because I went over budget, but for a well worth it purchase I think.
Now for the Motherboard, I had originally chosen the ASRock 970 Extreme 4, and to avoid the "on the spot" adjustment, I decided to give the target shops a call to check on the availability of the Motherboard, and it's a good thing I did the day before because upon asking about the availability of this item, I have been informed that shipping is apparently on hold for this item with uncertainty of when it will be available. (I think it's just bad luck for me!) So I had to adjust again (at least I had a 1 day buffer to really think and do ample research on the adjustment I'm going to make) and I ended up choosing the ASRock 990FX Extreme3, it's about 900 bucks (Philippine Pesos) more than the original board of my choice which isn't so bad. Again I won't go into deep detail for this, just a side note, it's an ATX form factor board (I mentioned this here because this will come into play when choosing a Casing/Chassis, another tip I learned just recently). This is my second round buying parts, I brought my girlfriend with me for this trip (yes, she is that supportive. :D) this time, we head to another location known for composed of stores that sell PC Hardware which is called Eton Cyberpod. This location is nearer than the first place I went to, it's about 10 minutes from where I live and I made sure to reserve the item beforehand to ensure item availability, it took me just 10 worry-free and hassle-free minutes to make the purchase.
As of this moment, I have completed what I consider the main parts of my rig. Now it's on to Phase 2. To be honest, I'm not too sure what Phase 2 would consist of, but rest assured my mental gears are turning to identify these. My rig build checklist is pretty much set but of course, I have left room for variables such as part unavailability (this seems to be quite common.) and price hikes/drops.
Thank you to PCNetmiles (Eton Cyberpod Corinthian) for my Motherboard and CKY Planet PC (GIlmore IT Center) for my Processor!
Stay tuned for the next part of my series which is Phase 2 of the Hardware shopping step (Step 2).

Home Monsters Lake Monsters LEELANAU LAKE MONSTER: (MICHIGAN, USA)
LEELANAU LAKE MONSTER: (MICHIGAN, USA)
This strange and brilliantly camouflaged creature is allegedly responsible for scaring one teenage angler nearly to death and has got to be one of the flat out weirdest lake cryptids ever chronicled.
Sometimes known as "Carp Lake," Lake Leelanau — which, translated from the local Ojibwa language, means "delight of life" — actually consists of two adjacent lakes, which are located in of Leelanau County, Michigan. The north lake has a reported depth of over 120-feet, while the southern lake only goes down to about 62-feet, nevertheless both lakes are the alleged habitat of a bizarre North American LAKE MONSTER, that the locals have (unimaginatively perhaps) dubbed "Leelanau."
While the lakes themselves may be relatively nondescript, the creature that supposedly dwells beneath their muddy depths is anything but. Said to have a long, stump-like neck, an equally long tail and two abnormally large eyes, there are but a handful details from which to paint a picture of this beast. Still, in this case, the lack of particulars can be almost as telling as a plethora of adjectives.
Most notable is the fact that the animal has never been associated with the prototypical plesiosaur-like beasts or any of the other oft reported FORMERLY EXTINCT creatures that are normally reputed to live in large, freshwater bodies.
This indicates that — unlike the vast majority of Lake Monster reports — this animal may belong to an UNCLASSIFIED species or genus of "monster."
According to local legend, the beast first appeared after the Lake Leelanau dam was built in the late 1800's. The dam, which was designed to provide power to the Leland Sawmill, effectively sealed off the Lake's largest outlet, and — according to various sources – also managed to seal in the monster in along with it.
After the dam was erected, the water level of the lake rose between 10 and 12-feet, flooding a large portion of land and creating a marsh-like environment around the lake. This is where the creature was said to thrive.
While there are purportedly scores of reports of this nefarious beast, the most detailed account of an encounter with this critter comes to us all the way from 1910. In the summer of that year, a teenager — who hailed from a local family of "prominence" — named William Gauthier was perch fishing from his row boat in the shallow reeds along the shores of what was then called "Carp Lake."
Finding that his luck was threadbare, young Gauthier decided to row out a little further, toward a section of the lake where he had never fished before.
Passing several dead cedar trees, which were jutting haphazardly out of the water, the adolescent fisherman decided to moor his boat against one of the stumps and continue fishing.
Gauthier chose a tree, which he described as being approximately 5-feet tall and 6-inches wide, and pulled to a stop next to it. Little did he know that he was seconds away from the shock of his young life.
As soon as Gauthier's rope touched the branch, two huge eyes suddenly popped open at face-level with the horrified youth. The angler was frozen in terror, and after staring into this bizarre creature's eyes for a few seconds — which no doubt felt like an eternity to Gauthier — the animal abruptly dove beneath his row boat.
Gauthier claimed that animal's length was so impressive that he could see the submerged head of the beast appear on the far side of the boat while its tail still remained aloft.
One of the many things that we here at American Monsters find so intriguing about this account is the fact that Gauthier was able to paddle up right next to the beast without igniting an immediate reaction. Could it be that the creature was relying on its distinctive camouflage to keep it concealed; playing possum waiting for the boat to leave? Was it simply sleeping or — more ominously perhaps — laying in wait for its unsuspecting prey?
Also worthy of note is the fact that the juvenile witness did not recognize the stump for what it was until its eyes opened.
This would seem to indicate that, much like Phasmatodea — stick bugs — the animal in question had developed an incredible epidermal disguise, which allowed it to blend seamlessly into the vast morass of its stump-studded environment.
When presented with this hypothetical evidence one can't help but to wonder how many times individuals who believe that they are merely staring at half-submerged trees are actually — albeit unwittingly — having an encounter with a genuine cryptid?
Gauthier's great-grandson would attest that his great-grandfather had been thoroughly terrified by his unusual encounter. He further confided that the event had shaken him so badly that he avoided fishing on Lake Leelanau for many, many years.
Other folks around the turn of the century claimed to have had equally disturbing encounters with this creature, but most were reticent to come forward for fear of what they believed would be inevitable ridicule.
It has been many years since the last reported sighting of Leelanau; this fact has — unfortunately — forced many investigators to conclude that whatever may have been trapped in Lake Leelanau at the end of the 19th century has long since expired.
Of course, one never knows how many times an unwary boater might have slowly rowed next to a rotting stump… never realizing that they were slipping past a living, breathing AQUATIC ENIGMA.

Skolars defeated Jamestown Pirates 18-12 in the inaugural final of the Accra 9s in Legon, Ghana - but only after the replayed decider had gone to golden point extra time. The initial tournament final a week before could not see the sides separated after they were locked at 6 a-piece, despite extra time, until fading light intervened.
In the replay, a William Pearce-Biney golden try finally broke the deadlock; Pearce-Biney finishing as the tournament's top try scorer with five, including a hat-trick. He was awarded a Bradford Bulls jersey in recognition.
The fiercely competitive tournament has been excellent preparation for all four teams for the upcoming Accra Rugby League Championship, which also includes Madina Panthers - who took third spot in the 9s – and University of Ghana Bulls.
"I'm delighted with how the 9s went, but it's important that we build on its success," said RLFG General Manager Sam Leach.


I love it when you enter a wedding, liking the people, and you leave a wedding loving them. Taylor and Jocelyn are two people who don't shy away from having a freakin' blast! They like a party. They had an amazing party. And while they are having fun, joking around, and in general not taking themselves too seriously, both will look at you and ask a really caring question. They are each really genuinely interested in your experience and feelings. This is a very rare combination.
We had a wonderful time, and these may be some of my favorite wedding photos ever, because everyone was just busy being themselves… and I struggled with picking photos because they had so many great ones.
Thank you for your hospitality, thank you everyone for welcoming us in to the mix and being hilarious, in love, emotional, and totally present the whole day.

A new study shows a mathematical proof that generosity leads to evolutionary success.
The old notion of "survival of the fittest" – which was not an idea put forth by Darwin by the way, but was the work of Herbert Spencer, who distorted Darwin's ideas to create the ideology of social Darwnism – has now been shown to be wrong.
In short, to love thy neighbour is not just virtuous and kind, it is the most intelligent thing to do. And what's more, it is not at all utopian or wishful thinking to believe that a better world is possible.
The fact that a handful of egomaniacs and sociopaths have taken control of the world and are sowing extreme injustice, war, poverty, misery and ecological destruction, does not mean that this is the inevitable course for human beings or human society. We can and must change this. And the scientific evidence is showing that change – real change – is entirely in our power to create.
In fact, to overcome the worst aspects of human nature and create a society that is more just and more caring, would be to return more to our own true nature. Certainly greed, egotism, hatred and violence are no more natural than love, compassion, empathy and cooperation; and the science is showing that the latter are much more natural, and more pervasive in nature, as well as more evolutionarily intelligent and successful in the long run.

Sheriff's deputies were out until nearly 4am Friday morning, April 10th, serving a search warrant on a meth lab bust in lower Wingfield.
On Thursday night, April 9th, around 9pm, Deputies Jones and Ritter along with Sp. Deputy Coniglio responded to a drug complaint at 4484 Wingfield Church Road. After police were given consent to enter an outbuilding, they found enough items in plain view to obtain a search warrant for the residence and additional buildings on the property. Once the search warrant was obtained, Deputy Phillips and Sheriff Doyle arrived at the scene to assist.
Upon serving the search warrant, police say a "one-step" meth lab was found in the garage along with numerous precursor chemicals, in addition to tubing, grinders, blenders, funnels, and finished methamphetamine. Officials reported there were also several cell phones, surveillance cameras and equipment, a scanner, and cash seized on scene. A 1995 Chevy Blazer was also found on scene, which was reported stolen out of Warren County.
Deputy Phillips, also a certified meth lab technician, disassembled and neutralized the meth lab on scene.
Carolyn Anglin, 53, and Troy Cowles, 50, both of Wingfield, were charged with manufacturing methamphetamine 1st offense, trafficking in controlled substance 1st degree - methamphetamine, possession of controlled substance 1st degree 1st offense - methamphetamine, and receiving stolen property greater than $500 less than $10,000.
Both were lodged in the Hart County Jail. The investigation is still ongoing, and investigators say that more charges are likely to come.
"The Edmonson County Sheriff's Office would especially like to thank County Attorney JB Hines for coming out late to write the search warrant," Sheriff Doyle said. "Also thanks to Officer Nathan Dennis with Brownsville City Police Department for helping detain the suspects." The Sheriff also noted that the arrests would have been much more difficult without help from the public. "Things always work better when we work together," he said.

On February 18, 2018, precisely during a traditional Chinese holiday—Spring Festival—Christians from The Church of Almighty God in France held a New Year's celebration with the theme of "gratitude" in the parish activity center of the Saint-Germain Church in Vitry-sur-Seine, Paris. This was the first local New Year's event hosted by these Christians since being forced to flee to France after suffering brutal oppression by the Chinese government. They wanted to use this opportunity to extend their thanks to their French friends who had helped them and shown their concern. The event also provided an excellent platform for those in attendance to further understand the truth of the persecution of Christians from The Church of Almighty God by the Chinese government.


Are you sure you're not making a rash decision?
When you feel like there's no way out but to leave your job, you need to be certain that you're making the right decision. It can make or break your career. If you feel confident about finding a better opportunity, don't forget to cut ties with your superiors and colleagues professionally.
How long have you been stressed out at work? Do you think your frustrations are permanent? Throwing in the towel may seem like the best option when there's a disagreement with a colleague, but you need to evaluate if the situation is likely to occur repeatedly or if it's a passing thing. If it's a temporary situation, choose patience. You'll likely see things differently at a moment you least expect to.
Have you tried taking a break? Know the difference between wanting to quit work or simply taking a break. Sometimes rash decisions occur when we're stressed and we've allowed anxiety to push us to a breaking point. When this happens,feel free to take time off from work.
Look at the big picture. Don't let yourself focus on your current woes at work. Focusing on the negative leads to stagnation. If you're really struggling, consider what will happen to you and your career once you've quit. Evaluate what you'll be losing and gaining. You can potentially take your career off course, and unless you have a deep-down desire to take a new path, suddenly quitting can make it difficult to get back into certain fields once you've cut ties.
Are you ready for a resume gap? Upon quitting, be informed that a gap in your resume may affect your chances of future employment. It's easier to get a job while working compared to having been out of the workforce for an extended period. Though some companies may accept a time out during your career, it's better to create new opportunities and have a plan in mind while you're still working.
Deal with the uncertainty. Quitting without another job in hand can bring a lot of stress, especially when you haven't prepared to take a leap of faith. Be ready for a state of limbo while you rediscover your passion and the direction of your career.
If you genuinely feel that enough is enough, do what's best for you. Fully understand the pros and cons of quitting your job in order to grow personally and professionally.

Big Machine Vodka 400 at the Brickyard Recap
Brad Keselowski and crew kissing the bricks at Indianapolis Motor Speedway Source
"Grimy never tasted so good." - Brad Keselowski
Brad Keselowski "kisses the bricks" at Indianapolis Motor Speedway after thundering by Denny Hamlin to claim the checkered flag at the Brickyard 400
Two weeks ago Brad Keselowski was limping into the playoffs with one of the weakest starts to a season in his career. After the running of the rain delayed Brickyard 400 on Monday, Keselowski is roaring into the playoffs as the hottest driver on the NASCAR circuit. Keselowski took advantage of fresher tires to bump Denny Hamlin out of the way on the second to last lap to win the Big Machine Vodka 400 at the Brickyard one week after winning the Southern 500.
"It's incredible, last year I lost this race almost exactly the same way," said Keselowski.
Denny Hamlin seemed to have the race in hand heading into the final laps after out dueling Clint Bowyer for the lead. He was pulling away from the field in the clean air when Landon Cassill and Jeffrey Earnhardt tangled together in a wreck which brought out the yellow flag. The race re-started with only three laps to go and Hamlin once again sped into the lead, but Keselowski quickly raced up to his rear with his fresher tires. Keselowski patiently followed Hamlin around the track waiting for an opening. Once he saw it, Keselowski drove along side of Hamlin and bumped into him twice to move him out of the way. Keselowski took off with the race lead as the white flag was dropped, while Erik Jones took advantage of the leaders momentum-killing side drafting to race up and move around Hamlin. The checkered flag waved with Keselowski taking the win, Jones coming next behind him and Hamlin crossing the bricks in third place.
"I gotta give credit where credit is due," said Keselowski. "My crew chief, Paul Wolfe, made a heck of a call to pit there late in that run and the yellow came out and we had new tires and started eighth and it was kind of like it gave me the ball. You know how that goes. I had to make a play. I knew it was going to be tough. We weren't a dominant car by any means but Paul and everyone executed an incredible race. I just had to do my job and here I am in victory lane at the Brickyard. Man, I wish RP (Roger Penske) was here. I know he is watching at home. What a day!"
The victory is the first for Keselowski at Indianapolis and the 26th Cup Series win of his career. It's also the first Cup Series win at Indianapolis for Team Penske Racing. Team Penske has won 17 Indianapolis 500 races, more than any other organization in Indy Car racing.
"It feels really good to get Roger Penske his first Cup car win here at the Brickyard. It's an incredible feeling and I'm so happy for Team Penske."
The win is also the first for a Ford driver at Indianapolis since 1999 when Dale Jarrett claimed the checkered flag.
Denny Hamlin was frustrated after the race that a late yellow flag caused by non-contending drivers seemed to steal his victory away from him.
"I had the race pretty well in hand. Landon Cassill wrecked for no apparent reason at the end and then we just got roughed up by the 2 (Brad Keselowski) there at the end – on new tires. Very unfortunate, but that's the way it goes sometimes. Sometimes cautions don't fall your way. We were able to survive the first few, but allowed those guys to – with all those cautions and meaningless wrecks – to the guys on new tires to be right on us and that's what happened."
Kevin Harvick and Clint Bowyer round out the top-five. Bowyer and Hamlin each led a race high 37 laps. Clint Bowyer was the winner of Stage One, while Matt Kenseth took the checkered green for Stage Two. Each driver earned a bonus point for the postseason, but in Kenseth's case it's all for naught as the part-time driver did not qualify for the playoffs.
End of the Regular Season
Kyle Busch and family Source
The conclusion of the race also marked the conclusion of the NASCAR Cup Series regular season. With his eight place finish, Kyle Busch officially won the regular season championship. He earned 15 bonus points for the playoffs with his title.
"We had a lot of ups and downs, mostly downs but fought our way back," said Busch. "In the grand scheme of things it was a pretty good day considering we get to go home with some hardware."
The last two playoff spots were claimed by Jimmie Johnson and Alex Bowman by virtue of points scored throughout the season.
The Playoffs are Set
The regular season is over and the field of sixteen drivers for the postseason has been set. Each qualifying driver's points have been re-set to 2,000 and all bonus points earned during the season have been added to that total. Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick sit atop the standings with 2,050 points apiece.

Q: Formatting String Value as Monetary Value in Google Apps Script I have created a Google Form that has a field where a numeric value is entered by the user (with numeric validation on the form) and is then submitted. When the number (e.g., 34.00) gets submitted, it appears as 34 in the Google spreadsheet, which is annoying but understandable. I already have a script that runs when the form is submitted to generate a nicely-formatted version of the information that was submitted on the form, but I'm having trouble formatting that value as a monetary value (i.e., 34 --> $34.00) using the Utilities.formatString function. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

A: The values property of a form submission event as documented in Event Objects is an array of Strings, like this:
['2015/05/04 15:00', 'amin@example.com', 'Bob', '27', 'Bill', '28', 'Susan', '25']

As a result, a script that wishes to use any of these values as anything but a String will need to do explicit type conversion, or coerce the string to number using the unary operator (+).
var numericSalary = +e.values[9];

Alternatively, you could take advantage of the built-in type determination of Sheets, by reading the submitted value from the range property also included in the event. Just as it does when you type in values at the keyboard, Sheets does its best to interpret the form values - in this case, the value in column J will have been interpreted as a Number, so you could get it like this:
var numericSalary = e.range.getValues()[9];

That will be slower than using the values array, and it will still provide an unformatted value.
Formatting
Utilities.formatString uses "sprintf-like" formatting values. If you search the interwebs, you'll find lots of references for sprint variables, some of which are helpful. Here's a format that will turn a floating-point number into a dollar-formatted string:
'$%.2f'

$ - nothing magic, just a dollar sign
% - magic begins here, the start of a format
.2 - defines a number with two decimal places, but unspecified digits before the radix
f - expect a floating point number

So this is your simplest line of code that will do the conversion you're looking for:
var currentSalary = Utilities.formatString( '$%.2f', +e.values[9] );

A: The correct format to get your string into a proper numeric format is as follows:
var myString = myString.toLocaleString('en-US', { style: 'currency', currency: 'USD' });

If you only care about the $ sign and don't need commas the code below (also shown in one of the answers above will suffice.
var myString = Utilities.formatString( '$%.2f', myString );

In my experience toLocaleString performs sometimes performs strangely in Apps Script as opposed to JavaScript

A: I know this was years ago but might help someone else.
You should be able to add the commas in between with this
.toLocaleString(); after you format the string decimal then add the '$' sign in the beginning by just concating them together.
Ex:
 myString = Utilities.formatString( '%.2f', myNumber );
 myString = '$' + myString.toLocaleString();


Is Serving Clients' Best Interest Really In Their Best Interest?
Search Engine Guide > Stoney deGeyter > Is Serving Clients' Best Interest Really In Their Best Interest?
Those of us in the SEO industry operate by some pretty simple principles. We're in business to help clients succeed. Success can mean many things, but, to most businesses, every lost ranking position looks like lost business! As SEOs, SEMs, link builders and inbound marketers, it's important to be successful - not just for our own sake, but also for the companies we work for.
I often tell our clients that it is in our own best interest that they succeed because our success is tied directly to theirs. If they fail, we lose.
But the reverse is also true. If the SEO company fails, the client loses. This is the dual struggle that many companies, including mine, fight against. We want to do everything necessary to make sure our clients succeed. The problem is that not all clients are doing the same for their own success. As the service provider, however, the burden often falls onto us to deliver what is in clients' best interest, even if they are not willing to.
Who's looking out for you/me/we/us?
It's nice to think that doing what's in the client's best interest is really in the client's best interest. Unfortunately, it's not always true. Sad to say, but the "something for nothing" entitlement mentality has taken hold, even among business owners. It's nice that the Internet gives us all kinds of cool things for free. But not all good things are available at no cost. Those that rely solely on what is cheap or free only shortchange themselves.
In SEO, clients may purchase services that provide xyz, based on their budget and hopeful outcome. But when xyz isn't enough to get them where they want, the client then expects the SEO to deliver abc on top of it.
The last thing any SEO wants to hear is, "Why am I not ranking for this keyword?" On the flip side, the last thing the client wants to hear is, "Because you're not paying for that!"
Imagine taking your vehicle to a car wash and paying for the basic wash service. When your car comes out, it's all sparkly clean, except the engine needs to be cleaned, the inside detailed and it could use a coat of wax. Now, the car wash company wants you to have a nice, clean, shiny vehicle. If you're not happy with the wash, you won't be a repeat customer. But it's silly to pay for a wash and then be shocked that the wash alone wasn't enough to make your car look just the way you wanted!
This is what SEOs face all the time. Clients taking a lower service but being upset because they get the lower results!
Whenever two companies do business together, their best interests almost universally become one. What is good for you is good for me is good for you.
Businesses come to SEOs because they want (nay, need) to make money. The SEO also wants (nay, needs) to make money. Both need profits to survive. It's in the best interest of both companies when both companies are profitable.
If one is not profitable, it affects the ability of the other to hold up their end of the contract. What would otherwise be a nice long-term and mutually profitable agreement becomes an agreement where, ultimately, neither benefit in the long-run. Your business agreement is out of balance.
If you only look after yourself, then you'll find that no one is willing to work with you, which shortchanges your own efforts. On the other hand, you can't only do what is best for others; otherwise, you won't be able to deliver as promised, which also shortchanges your own efforts.
If you think always doing only what's in your customers' best interest is really the right thing to do, then I challenge you to give away all your services or products free of charge for one year. Wouldn't your clients/customers be better served by such a move? Wouldn't that allow them to get a higher profit margin or keep more money in their pocket?
Of course it would, but it certainly wouldn't be in your best interest. Nor could you do that indefinitely. Sooner or later, your ability to give your clients what they expect will suffer. They'll be unhappy and so will you!
SEO clients need to ensure they are not demanding more than they are willing to pay for, just as SEOs must be willing to do everything they can within the framework provided to get the best results possible. It's in both the SEO's and the client's best interest to ensure they have a mutually beneficial agreement that sets proper expectation for results and that neither takes advantage of the other or allows themselves to be taken advantage of.

Serving the Client's Best Interest is Not Always in the Client's Best Interest!
I have no problem going a little above and beyond the contract for my clients, especially when I like working with them. When you have a good relationship with your clients they know when they are asking for a little extra and they appreciate it when you're willing to do it. It's when clients expect the moon and the stars but are only willing to pay for a flower pot that I get annoyed. I want to help you succeed, but that doesn't mean you can take advantage of my and my company.
