Patti need your Votes!!! You don't have to comment, just vote in the poll. She is pulling a close second place with her story and needs votes!!!
Thank you times ten! And for the reblog:>) Susan, you are so good to me. Hugs.
I hope more people can reblog this for you.
Vote for Patti please – it only takes a minute to vote – but once you read her story, you will be changed for a lifetime.
Wow, thank you! This is all so new.
We have you up to 51 and Sharon is at 59. katie and some others were wondering how long the contest is on for so maybe we could do posts about it tomorrow. Several folks have reblogged my reblog.
Cool! I think it is just til tonight, midnight, Pac time.
Thank you, I saw some reblogs…never happened to me before.
Should have let us know sooner!!! Next time! We will do posts and have time to get others interested.
Yep, I blew that one! The next one is the 19th and pays $50.
I did post it on my blog earlier, but then put most efforts into FB.
There is so much that I am still learning. I can't even figure out how to get a reader audience genre for a book that is both fiction and non-fiction. I have been all over the Amazon categories looking for the right place to land. I am having the best luck with Historical fiction…so I might just leave it there.
Thanks but they don't have that category. There used to be more categories on Amazon, but they slimmed them down. You can only choose two from very limited choices. It really isn't a Romance, even though thee is a brief but pertinent romance in it, and I would not want to disappoint romance readers. That is a sure fire way to get bad reviews. Non-Fiction novels (faction) were very popular in the 1970s, and they are trying to make a comeback, but until more writers fill that category, Amazon won't replace it. it is tough to be on the cutting edge.
Friend her at https://www.facebook.com/patti.hall.3950 Share this link withn your facebook friends!
Not yet, but working on it. Did you ever post your review of Red Clay and Roses on amazon? I know you did on Goodreads. If you have time, copy and paste to amazon. i am trying to get ten reviews so I can enter into certain contests as soon as I get the revisions done. I asked Pam also. I am sitting at nine right now.
Shite I forgot! If I can't make my brain work tonight (so far unsuccessful) I will do tomorrow. Sorry.

← We're an Official Supplier to ITV's '60 Minute Makeover'!
Here at Simplicity, we would like to wish all of our clients, suppliers, employees and friends a very happy New Year! The New Year marked the end of another extremely positive year for Simplicity and also poses an exciting challenge as we hope to repeat, and build upon, the triumphs and substantial growth we achieved throughout 2013.
So, as we move into 2014 and make plans for the year ahead, we are also pausing to take a quick look back at the successful year we're leaving behind us and thank everyone who made 2013 so great!
2013 was a fantastic year for us here at Simplicity. We continued to grow both our business and reputation considerably and in some of the most challenging of trading conditions. In fact, the economic climate did little to thwart our successes and, instead, we proved development and progression is possible.
One of the highlights of 2013, and something we are all particularly proud of here at Simplicity, is our involvement with ITV's Peter Andre's 60 Minute Makeover. We were delighted to participate in the show and offer our services as a curtain, blind and soft furnishings supplier and featured in three episodes throughout December and January, including their very prestigious Christmas special.
We worked with some of the country's top designers on the show to solve complex furnishing issues for very deserving people. The finished results combined fantastic functionality with high levels of striking, aesthetically pleasing design and were met with enthusiastic satisfaction by the homeowners chosen to receive a makeover.
2014 will bring new and exciting opportunities for both us here at Simplicity and our clients. Firstly, we are in the process of designing and fitting out our new showroom, which will boast a fantastic display of the products we offer. We will keep you up-to-date with news of the showroom and lots of pictures will be available as soon as it's ready!
We will also be expanding upon our JAB range – leading us to be one of the largest suppliers of the JAB fabric collections anywhere! Our range will include fabrics, wallpapers, blinds and carpets for maximum choice, meaning you're guaranteed to find your perfect style amongst our collection.
In addition, we are also looking to add new product ranges to our portfolio over the next weeks, so keep checking the website for further details!

2008 Olympic bronze medalist Arkady Vyatchanin has formally retired from competitive swimming. The 34 year-old had a long and somewhat nomadic career that highlighted some of the issues that pro swimmers still face, especially when it comes to international competition.
A native of Russia, Vyatchanin earned a silver medal in the 100 backstroke at the 2003 World Championships in Barcelona, and also earned medals at at the 2003, 2005, and 2007 World Championships as part of Russia's 4×100 medley relay team. He then earned bronze medals in both backstroke events at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, as USA swimmers swept gold and silver medals in both events.
In the years that followed, Vyatchanin clashed with the Russian swimming federation over his decision to live and train in the United States under Gregg Troy, and what he calls "irreconcilable contradictions with the Federation's officials." Around 2013, Vyatchanin decided to try to swim for Serbia. However, he encountered difficulties switching his sporting citizenship to Serbia as he was still training in the United States, representing the New York Athletic Club.
"Of all the things I could say or have said in the past the main line stays the same – I believe that sport can be doping and politics free," Vyatchanin said upon retirement.
During his time in the United States, Vyatchanin became a fixture on the Pro Swim Series (formerly Grand Prix) circuit, and he won both backstroke events at the 2016 U.S. Open. Vyatchanin eventually became a U.S. citizen last summer, and his times from the U.S. Open put him on the USA National Team, but he has now retired before ever getting a chance to represent the United States in international competition.
"I'm very excited for my future," Vyatchanin concluded. "I definitely would like to share my knowledge and experience throughout the swimming community. I would like to thank Gregg Troy, his staff, NYAC and others who helped me stay on this level in sport in the last 6 and a half years."

Q: how to separate strings,special symbols and integers in the sql server?x this is the question  kumarpavanprashanth@@@123679
i have tried this
DECLARE @MyString varchar(1000) = 'kumarpavanprashanth@@@123679';

declare @Counter integer = 1;

declare @currChar char(1) = '';;

declare @charString varchar(1000) = '';

declare @intString varchar(1000) = '';

while (@Counter <= len(@MyString))
begin

 set @currChar = substring(@MyString,@Counter,1)

if isNumeric(@currChar) = 1
 set @intString = @intString + @currChar
   else
       set @charString = @charString + @currChar

  set @counter = @counter + 1
end

select @charString;
select cast(@intString as integer)

expected output:
in first column it should have kumar,pavan,prashanth
in second column it should have @,@,@
in third column it should have 1,2,3,6,7,9

A: If you can define separate differently from all output types of strings. you  can use the below query: you have to use SQL 2016
SELECT
value
FROM STRING_SPLIT('kumar,pavan,prashanth/@,@,@/1,2,3,6,7,9', '/')

Le Passé Simple is the simple past tense of the indicative mood. It's used to express actions that were completed in the past.
The passé simple is the direct equivalent of the English simple past (I did), but is found almost exclusively in literature and other French writings. In spoken French, the passé simple has been replaced by the passé composé.
Quand tu rencontras Sarah, elle avait dix-huit ans.
When you met Sarah, she was eighteen.

The words of Amos, who was among the sheepherders from Tekoa, which he envisioned in visions concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
"So I will send fire upon the house of Hazael And it will consume the citadels of Ben-hadad.
"I will also break the gate bar of Damascus, And cut off the inhabitant from the valley of Aven, And him who holds the scepter, from Beth-eden; So the people of Aram will go exiled to Kir,' Says the LORD.
Thus says the LORD, "For three transgressions of Gaza and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because they deported an entire population To deliver it up to Edom.
"So I will send fire upon the wall of Gaza And it will consume her citadels.

Proclaim on the citadels in Ashdod and on the citadels in the land of Egypt and say, "Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria and see the great tumults within her and the oppressions in her midst.

Two drown in snorkeling accident
Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012
Seven tourists left Caye Caulker on the morning of April 3rd to experience Hol Chan Marine Reserve and Shark Ray Alley, one of Belize's top destinations for snorkelers and divers alike. Trusting tour operators from Tsunami Tours to provide this memorable experience in Belize's waters, two deaths were the last thing on their minds.
According to Dr. Noeli Nicholson, around 12:40pm, five tourists arrived at the Dr. Otto Rodriguez San Pedro PolyClinic II accompanied by a Hol Chan Marine Ranger. They appeared to have received multiple scratches and were visibly shaken.
Further investigations revealed that the tourists left for Hol Chan with Caye Caulker based Tsunami Tours, which is owned by longtime Caye Caulker resident and Canadian national Heather Martin. They mentioned that the tour guide kept taking them into the channel at Hol Chan and they started to get separated because of the strength of the waves that were pushing them into the reef. Dr. Nicholson informed The San Pedro Sun that the husband stated that he and his wife became separated from the group around 11:30am.
Around 1:45pm, a private boat CC-0021, arrived with the female casualty at the dock in front of BC's. Dr. Nicholson was called to pronounce the death of the woman, whose name is being withheld. Around 2:45pm a second (unidentified) body was brought in by the Hol Chan Marine Reserve boat. The body was taken to the PolyClinic.
The survivors were also taken to the Dr. Otto Rodriguez PolyClinic II and treated for multiple abrasions and bruises which were sustained from the reef. The husband of the first casualty is currently under observation as he suffers from a heart condition. The tour guide was detained by police where a statement was issued. The investigation continues into this case. The San Pedro Sun will keep you updated as information becomes available.

Message: Love Anal, How To Shift to Anal Only?
February 5, 2014 | Comment
Anonymous: Hi there. I'm a recent convert to anal sex, and wow i can see now why you talk about anal only. Its incredible. Like all the advice says we use a lot of lube and my girlfriend has no problems at all. If i try to get her to switch full time, is it best to just be honest or be gradual about it? Even though shes enjoying it (twice weekly for now) can you do too much starting out?
It's definitely possible to overdo it at the beginning and get sore. But if you take things relatively slowly and build up to being able to handle a week of anal only, warming up properly each time and using lot of lube, chances are that longer periods of anal only are feasible as well.
It depends on how much she likes it initially, somewhat. If she loves it, bringing up that you want to try doing, say, a week of nothing but anal has a shot of working. Otherwise, just work anal in more regularly and build up to where you're doing it half or more than half of the time and then bring up going fully anal for a while.

As Obama moves toward allowing millions of undocumented people to stay in the U.S., Republicans face a defining choice.
NOGALES, AZ - JUNE 18: Two young girls watch a World Cup soccer match on a television from their holding area where hundreds of mostly Central American immigrant children are being processed and held at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Nogales Placement Center on June 18, 2014, in Nogales, Arizona. Brownsville, Texas, and Nogales, have been central to processing the more than 47,000 unaccompanied children who have entered the country illegally since Oct. 1.
July 18, 2014, 1 a.m.
Inflammatory as it's been, the debate over unaccompanied Central American children crossing the U.S. border is only the warm-up for an approaching immigration confrontation with even greater stakes.
Regardless of how Congress handles his request for more border resources, President Obama is moving toward a historic — and explosive — executive order that will provide legal status to a significant number of the estimated 11.7 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. One senior White House official says that while "what's happening at the border will provide atmospherics for the [president's] decision," it won't stop him from acting on the undocumented — probably before the midterm elections. The resulting collision over Obama's expected action could lastingly define both the Democratic and Republican parties for the burgeoning Hispanic population.
Throughout his presidency, Obama has followed a consistent strategy on immigration. He's toughened enforcement and aggressively pursued deportation, looking (as he acknowledged in a 2011 El Paso speech) to blunt the conservative argument that the U.S. must secure the border before addressing the undocumented. Obama's hard line, combined with the economic slowdown, has tightened the net. During George W. Bush's two terms, the best estimate has it, the number of unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. jumped by about 3 million; under Obama, there's been no increase. But while the tougher enforcement has angered liberal groups, it has failed to move House Republicans, 80 percent of whom represent districts that are whiter than the national average. After the Senate passed bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform that included a pathway to citizenship in 2013, House Republicans shelved it — just as they did a similar bipartisan bill Bush helped shoulder through the Senate in 2006.

(Ross D. Franklin-Pool/Getty Images)Polls consistently find broad support for such a package: In a Pew Research Center survey this week, 63 percent of whites, 71 percent of African-Americans, and 85 percent of Hispanics said those here illegally should be granted legal status after meeting certain requirements. But many House Republicans believe that in their right-leaning districts, the only voters who cast their ballots on the issue are those opposed to legalization.
When House Speaker John Boehner told Obama last month that his chamber would not act this year, the president announced that he would advance legalization through executive order. The unaccompanied-minor crisis complicated Obama's plan. This challenge is actually better understood as a refugee problem than an immigration one, since studies have found that most of the kids are fleeing neighborhood violence or family breakdown. Yet the surge of children has revived images of a broken border and pressured the president to again embrace tough enforcement measures.
Obama won't likely go as far as Republicans in retrenching the protections for unaccompanied Central American children that Bush signed into law in 2008. But Obama has indicated he wants to return more kids immediately and then devote additional legal resources to more quickly adjudicating the remaining cases. There's a humanitarian case for this: The lengthy delays may be encouraging more children to make the dangerous journey. But the approach also reflects the White House's recognition that controlling the border is the necessary political precondition to completing an executive order to legalize many of the immigrants here illegally.
The president can't provide them citizenship without action by Congress. But using the same theory of "deferred action" that he employed in 2012 for children brought to the U.S. illegally by their parents, he could apply prosecutorial discretion to allow some groups of the undocumented (such as adults here illegally with children who are U.S. citizens) to obtain work permits and function openly. Though the administration is still debating the reach of Obama's authority, some top immigration advocates hope he could legalize up to half of the undocumented population.
On immigration, Obama is driving decisions that could shape the two parties for years.
Such a move would infuriate Republicans, both because the border crisis has deepened their conviction that any move toward legalization inspires more illegal migration and because the president would be bypassing Congress. They would likely challenge an Obama order through both legislation and litigation. Every 2016 GOP presidential contender could feel compelled to promise to repeal the order.
On many fronts, Obama seems to be only reacting to events. But on immigration, as on other social issues such as gay rights and contraception, he is driving decisions that could shape the two parties for years — and cement the Democratic hold on the coalition of growing demographic groups that powered his two victories.

Fashion has a large impact in society and is a multi-billion dollar industry. Online sales in the year 2017 are expected to reach 191 billion Euros in Europe and 370 billion dollars in the USA. Developing tools to improve the interaction between sellers and buyers will be of paramount importance.
In this project we will exploit current advances in computer vision and machine learning to explore large amounts of publicly available fashion data, for automatically reasoning and discovering patterns and trends. This data, besides images and videos, may include varying types of meta-information such as categorical attributes or textual descriptions. Processing this diverse "big data" will not only require advanced machine learning algorithms, but also developing very efficient approaches.
Initially, the student will participate in the creation of a large fashion dataset and develop efficient algorithms for the extraction of low and mid level features, such as 2D human pose estimation, foreground/background segmentation, and garment segmentation. In a second stage, she/he will work on improving its implementation to be able to scale and distribute well to large datasets, as well as integrating it with the Wide Eyes infrastructure.

If you're getting ready to celebrate your child's birthday, you'll need the right party decor. Birthday balloons are an important part of this decor, and choosing the right set can be an easy process if you remember this buying guide. Theme Birthday balloons now come in all sorts of themes, from superheroes to cartoons. Which theme is right for your child's birthday? You should start by considering your child's gender. For example, girls probably will prefer balloons that are more feminine—with pink colors and princesses.


ebay#: 160061123286; I bid 25.99, the 25.01 won - and on the eBay ther is no sign that my bid of 25.99 ever entered my bid.
Strange message: BID UNDER ASKING PRICE.
On the other subject: previously Gixen enterred bids 3 minutes before end - and it was enough time for others to enter their bids even by hand. Can you eliminate at least a chance that Gixen does not give a chance for those bidding by hand.
Over 25 dollars minimum increment is 1$. See ebay bid increments.
Few days ago, there was an issue that caused Gixen to bid minutes prematurely. I apologize for this. Please see previous posts.
I'd recommend that if you're going to bid odd amounts, do so by a few cents over the bid increments. Such that, if the bid increments are $1.00, you bid $x.04 or x.23.
There is no real advantage to bidding just under an increment, such as x.99.
At least, from what I've found.


Tools for Success – Learn. Grow. Expand.
Although this case study focused on my role and the product my company was selling, the key components of evaluation remain the same. As you read through this article, consider how you currently evaluate success in your role and in your company. How does it compare to what is discussed below? How robust is the evaluation process at your company? Is there any room for improvement? Ready, let's start!
The evaluation is possibly the most critical aspect of running a program. Because not all problems can be adequately addressed while a program is running, it is imperative that an evaluation process is built into the creation of any program, regardless of the length. This allows you to gather participant data that's outside the scope of personal success and instead gather data on other equally important components of what makes a program successful. Soliciting this information during or after a course allows program stakeholders to revisit their initial assumptions about what the course or program should accomplish and what it takes to reach those goals. By committing to the creation and implementation of an evaluation plan, you are committing to the continued success of your program.
Whereas assessments should focus on the role of the instructors in ensuring student success, the evaluation should be thought of in terms of gauging program health. The in-class assessments let us know if participants are grasping content and if not, what we can do to adjust our approach. There are other aspects, such as whether the program meets participant expectations, that are not captured through project rubrics or other classroom assessment techniques. This is where the concept of evaluation comes in.
Objective: You, the instructional designer, facilitator or other stakeholder, have invested a substantial amount of time in developing this program. It may be hard to hear that it's not working the way it's supposed to. It's important that fear not keep you from asking those hard, direct and neutral (non-leading) questions.
Actionable:Regardless of the way it is collected, evaluation data must be actionable. At times, we may fall into the trap of asking participants completely subjective questions that do not have clear action items associated. Conversely, asking objective questions that only allow for a yes or no may not give you any useful data around suggested improvements.
Targeted: Know what you're evaluating ahead of time and why. While you may be tempted to ask participants how they felt about the location of the school, unless you have the ability to change that, it may be a waste of time – yours and the participant's – to include it. Questions related to program goals, instructional quality, course content and overall satisfaction all fall under the category of things your stakeholders will want to know. A rule of thumb is to determine key health metrics at the outset of the program and ask questions that speak to those items.
Which aspects of the program are being evaluated and how?
Feedback will be collected via exit tickets (surveys), administered by the instructor at the end of each session. These surveys will consist of four questions. The exit tickets are meant to be a section by section snapshots evaluating the immediate impact of the course. At the completion of the course, a more comprehensive end-of-course survey will be administered.
Deliverable Survey (hosted in Google docs) – the same form is used throughout the course, differentiated by the submission date.
What is the most important reason you gave us that score?
During the course, data collected from the exit tickets will evaluate whether the content is relevant and immediately applicable for participants. In addition, it will evaluate delivery techniques and allow program facilitators to provide supplemental materials in areas where the content is lacking. In the event that the issue lies with instruction, alternative methods can be explored, including but not limited to the introduction of blended or self-directed learning tools, additional AV equipment or even a change of venue. The purpose of the evaluations at the end of session and end-of-course is to cover as many modifiable external components as possible and establish a plan of action to be implemented during the current cohort or for the next.
All data will be aggregated in an Excel file and used to create a dashboard that identifies trends, weaknesses and strengths of the program. The exit tickets and end-of-course survey responses will be coded and categorized into Content, Delivery, Tools and Environment and then into stages based on the length of time it will take to implement. Quantitative and qualitative data will be used to drive decisions around revising content and/or delivery methods and whether any additional financial investments will need to be made for tools or program development. Finally, data collected will inform what kind of training, if any, would benefit the instructor based on feedback around delivery. A timeline will be established for all improvements and the changes will be communicated to stakeholders, as well as future and former participants.
Teams across 15 campuses are finding it increasingly difficult to track information and share it with the stakeholders. In addition, there is a lack of standardization in the way programs are run, further complicating alignment and adoption of initiatives to solve this problem.
Many of these conversations have started with 'we can't' or 'we don't'. We can't change this system or we don't use this method. I usually ask probing questions to get to the bottom of these opinions. Is the 'can't' related to something tangible? Is the 'don't' due to a lack of structure or something else? Until a problem can be broken down into it's smallest parts, a holistic fix cannot be created. Asking teams to think critically about their current processes will force all parties to honestly evaluate the problems they face. I highly recommend using this list of Socratic Questions to get past the surface issues. Much like the worksheet found at the bottom of this page, you can create an evaluation worksheet asking similar guiding questions to reach a conclusion.
Human beings draw conclusions from past experience – personal or otherwise. We can become entrenched in views because we have had positive and negative experiences that influence what we think will happen. Perhaps we've were involved in an unpleasant outcome related to group work that prevents us from trying something new. Conversely, maybe we heard of a new technology and we want in on it because everyone else is raving about it. Either way, it's necessary to break down and evaluate this feelings or instincts in order to make logical and well informed decisions. Even if they result is less than stellar, you have begun a process of evaluation that allows you to continue build until you reach success.
Start by creating a list of specific issues that your team is trying to tackle. If you are a manager, create your own and allow teams to do the same. For each issue, have team members brainstorm about the root causes and 2-3 possible solutions. You can have participants fill out the worksheet to the right, use the template at the bottom of this page, or create your own.
Can you give me an example of a time when this was apparent?
Can you describe the scope of the project? In what ways can we leverage the strengths of you and your team members to solve this problem?
How can we look at this another way?
Do the same for each section of the worksheet until there is a clear idea of what actionable steps can be taken to begin to solve the issue.
Once that has happened, have teams pair off with members of other teams to get feedback on how they handled similar situations. The idea is to have fresh perspectives challenge existing perceptions and require the problem solvers to re-evaluate, explain and if necessary, defend their beliefs and next course of action.

Proving once again that the internet has everything, Zillow has now released their housing appraisal on Santa's house located at The North Pole. It's a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom toy-lover's paradise nestled on 25 acres.
The property includes Santa's main living quarters, a community of elf tiny homes, a toy-making facility, garage with room for a sleigh and stables for eight reindeer, plus a bonus stall.
The home was built in 1822, but last remodeled in 2013, with the total floor size of 2,500 sq ft. While it is fun to look at the online appraisal the house is not on the market and I have a feeling that Santa isn't looking to move any time soon.
Click here to take the 3D including looking inside the Farmhouse, Rustic Cabin, Bamboo Bungalow on the property. This is a fun way to explore the North Pole as I've never been there, but it would be fun to visit.


Make it easy for companies and private individuals to find the optimal framework for successful events.
Customer wanted to develop an app that brings together all banqueting rooms in Denmark. The idea was that the user should be able to present the most relevant premises via an advanced search. When the user found the right space, it was thought that the user should easily be able to send a query or contact the event organizer.
We developed an app where the user has the opportunity to make an advanced search for premises designed in a delicious and intuitive design.
The app is made native in Xcode (Swift, Objective C) and Android Studio (Java). There is a .NET CORE backend on the app with an API.
