Chad Ochocinco-Patriots Trade: 49ers, Raiders Made Their Own Runs
By David Fucillo@davidfucillo Jul 28, 2011, 3:51pm PDT
Share All sharing options for: Chad Ochocinco-Patriots Trade: 49ers, Raiders Made Their Own Runs
News out of Boston has the New England Patriots working out a deal to acquire Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco pending him re-working part of his current contract. Ochocinco had been rumored to be looking for a new team and the Patriots one of at least three teams to get permission to work out a trade. In an amusing twist, it turns out the 49ers and Raiders were the two other named teams.
Both teams are looking for some wide receiver help, so their inquiry into Ochocinco's status isn't surprising. However, coming off their on-going duel for Dashon Goldson and the 49ers own interest in Nnamdi Asomugha, it's interesting seeing the Bay Area rivals squaring off for yet another player. In previous offseasons there hasn't been much in the way of competition between the two teams. More battles like this could get the rivalry re-heated. It's been a while since there was sufficient animosity between the two organizations.

Netflix Drops First Look at Season 4 of 'You' and I'm So Excited
It's about time we got some news, I miss that serial killer called Joe Goldberg, played by Penn Badgley.
I mean, he isn't Dexter… but I still like Joe and absolutely love the Netflix series 'You'!
I have been trying to be patient about season 4, but it sure does seem like it's taking forever.
Well, we finally get a first look at Joe Goldberg from season 4 of 'You' and he has a beard!
The new image from 'You' Season 4 shows Penn Badgley as Joe, the stalker and serial killer that falls in love way too easily.
The beard is because Joe had to change his appearance because he's done some more naughty things, and it's time to start again.
'You' is based on a novel by Caroline Kepnes that I really need to read, the books are always better… so you know it has to be a great read.
If you haven't watched seasons 1-3 of 'You', I highly suggest you start now so that you can join us in watching season 4 on Netflix.
I won't post any spoilers in this post, so it is safe to continue reading… but if you have already watched season 3, you can read this post that shows where we currently are on this adventure with Joe.
I think the thing that would make Joe most miserable is not… If he was tortured and killed by a woman, he would, in his mind, almost be vindicated. He'd be like, 'I am the most persecuted man in all of history and I can be a martyr for love.' That is kind of what he would think in his mind. And Beck even says this in the first season – she says all that. And it's why people repeatedly do not call the cops on him, as sort of absurd as that might be at times. But it's true. And so I think for the next season, my conversations with Sera are really, I think, the most exciting so far because I think we're really going to get into that. And the next season could be quite different. It really could be quite different.
Penn Badgley said
'You' season 4 stars: Penn Badgley, Tati Gabrielle, Lukas Gage, Charlotte Ritchie, Tilly Keeper, Amy-Leigh Hickman, and Ed Speleers.
As of right now, there has not been a release date announced, but you can pretty much plan on it releasing to Netflix in 2023.
Check out Joe Goldberg with his new look for season 4 of 'You' below, do you like the new look?

Our Bollywood stars are known to sports saree blouses with bows and flared sleeves but if you think you've no luck in finding them, visit The H Label and you'll change your mind.
The H Label says it's made to flatter, and we think some of its designs can truly do that. Located in Punjagutta, this is a designer label that specialises in anarkalis, ethnic capes, and sarees. But its fusion wear is also worth eyeing. The store is rather small and when you step into it, you'll be hedged with apparel in vivid and bright colours, that are mostly designed by young designers from Hamstech Institute of Fashion Design. The entire collection is neatly stacked and hung, categorically. So, whether you're looking for anarkali suits, lehengas, or saree blouses, you can head over to the specific section. If you're interested in mix and match, pick a skirt with an elaborate work and match it with a crop top.
If you're not from Hyderabad, you can explore their online store which has some of their designs. You can take your pick from their section of ethnic or fusion wear. They have ikat and kalamkari skirts that you might want to check out too. But we must admit — the label is a little expensive and only special occasions call for it.


Q: My husband and I just divorced; our two elementary school-aged daughters will spend the school week with me and most weekends with him. They are still dealing with the impact of their father moving out. Should we let their new teachers know about the divorce?
A: Yes. You don't need to go into detail, but alerting the teachers is in everyone's best interests. Research shows that children whose parents were divorcing reported being more anxious, lonely and sad than children whose parents remained married. According to a 2011 study of 3,500 elementary children, parents' divorce caused setbacks in math and social skills.
"Any major change in a family's circumstances can have a strong impact on children's emotional wellbeing and sense of security," says Dr. Jane Bluestein, an Albuquerque-based educator and psychologist who works with teachers and parents to improve the social-emotional climate in schools. "Any big transition can affect children's concentration, commitment to school, achievement and behavior. So it makes sense to let the school know anytime some significant incident, loss or change occurs."
Bluestein says that when she taught, she always appreciated knowing if a student's parents were going through a divorce -- "not to make excuses for the child's backsliding or acting out, but to know that a little extra support and TLC might be in order. Teachers want to build a productive home-school relationship. Letting them know means that they can help your daughters through a time of change."
Keep an eye out for changes in behavior or signs of stress and anxiety. "Most schools have resources -- likely a counselor -- who can support students through these transitions," advises Bluestein. "Find out about what's available, even if you think you won't need it."
Routines and consistency are important for all children, but especially so for kids who are dividing their time between two different homes. Bluestein advises working with their father to align your school-related expectations for the girls. For example, establish a common bedtime for school nights and weekends; decide when homework will be done and how it will be checked; make sure you're on the same page concerning extracurricular and weekend activities so that they don't miss experiences that their friends are a part of.
Most important is establishing strong, ongoing communication with the school. How will you and their father stay informed about your daughters' progress?
Unless there are extenuating circumstances, "both father and mother should receive communications from the school, such as teacher and school newsletters, access to the school portals, notices of upcoming events, and report cards," says Bluestein. "You should both be listed as emergency contacts and, if possible, attend parent conferences together so that your daughters know that you both care about their schooling and share expectations for their success." Bluestein offers more practical tips parents on her website: janebluestein.com/2016/ways-to-help-your-child-survive-your-divorce/.
Another helpful resource is the book "Putting Children First: Proven Parenting Strategies for Helping Children Thrive Through Divorce" (Avery, 2010). The author, Joanne Pedro-Carroll, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist who has studied the impact of divorce. Her research-based advice can help you guide your daughters in the big transitions that accompany separation and divorce.

Q: Print horizontal with for in Python 2.7 I have issues with python that i cant figure it out. I want to print a repetition of a word when the user enter a word and then he will tell how many times that word will repeat. I cant * by the way . Here code so far
b = raw_input 'enter word'
c = input 'enter the amount of time the word will repeat'

for g in range (c)
    print (b)

like you see you can see the repetition of the input but on vertical line, how I can print it horizontal?

A: Very simple. Just add comma.
print (b),

So your code becomes:
b = raw_input('enter word: ')
c = input('enter the amount of time the word will repeat: ')

for g in range (c):
    print b,

A: Here's how you do it
import sys
b = raw_input('enter word')
c = input('enter the amount of time the word will repeat')

for g in range (c):
    sys.stdout.write(b)

Q: How to process / summarise a list into a "different" list I think I need something like a fold or maybe a foldt but the examples I've seen, seem to only compress the list into a simple scalar value.
What I need would need to remember and re-use values from previous lines in the list (essentially a "group by" operation)
If my input data looks like:
    [["order1", "item1"],["", "item2"],["","item3"],["order2","item4"]]
What is the correct approach to end up with something like:
[["order1",["item1","item2","item3"]],["order2",["item4"]]
ie data Order = Order { id :: Text, items :: [OrderItem]}
What if I wanted a slightly different structure?
[("order1",["item1","item2","item3"]),("order",["item4"])]
ie data OrderTuple = OrderTuple { order :: Order, items :: [OrderItem]}
What if I also wanted to keep a running total of some numeric value from the OrderItem?
edit: Here's the code I'm trying to get working based on Frerich's answer
--testGroupBy :: [[String]] -> [[String]]
testGroupBy :: [[String]] -> [(String, [String])]
testGroupBy z =
  --groupBy (\(x:xs) (y:ys) -> x == y || null y) z
  groupBy testFunc z

testFunc :: [String] -> [String] -> Bool
testFunc (x:xs) (y:ys) = x == y || null y

A: Pattern matching is useful here
groupData = foldl acc []
            where acc ((r, rs):rss) ("":xs)   = (r, rs ++ xs): rss
                  acc rss           (x:xs)    = (x, xs): rss
                  acc _             _         = error "Bad input data"

resultant groups are in reverse order, use reverse if you need.
What if I wanted a slightly different structure?
Simply transform one into other, you can do inside groupData or as separated function.
If you admit initial groups without fst element
groupData = foldr acc []
            where acc (x:xs)   []             = [(x, xs)]
                  acc ("":xs)  (("", rs):rss) = ("", rs ++ xs): rss
                  acc (x:xs)   (("", rs):rss) = (x, rs ++ xs): rss
                  acc (x:xs)   rss            = (x, xs): rss

then
let xs = [["", "item8"],["", "item9"],["order1", "item1"],["", "item2"],["","item3"],["order2","item4"]]
print $ groupData xs

is
[("",["item9","item8"])
,("order1",["item3","item2","item1"])
,("order2",["item4"])]

A: Instead of looking for a fold-based solution, I'd first try to see whether you can define a function as a composition of higher-level functions (such as map). Let me fire up a ghci session and play abit:
λ: let x = [["order1", "item1"],["", "item2"],["","item3"],["order2","item4"]]

Your "group by" operation actually has an existing name: Data.List.groupBy -- this almost gets us what we need:
λ: import Data.List
λ: let x' = groupBy (\(x:xs) (y:ys) -> x == y || null y) x
λ: x'
[[["order1","item1"],["","item2"],["","item3"]],[["order2","item4"]]]

This groupBy application puts all elements in x into one group (i.e. list) whose first element is equal, or if the second element is empty. This can then get massaged into your desired format (in this case, the second one you proposed with a map):
λ: let x'' = map (\x -> (head (head x), map (!! 1) x)) x'
λ: x''
[("order1",["item1","item2","item3"]),("order2",["item4"])]

Putting it all together:
groupData :: [[String]] -> [(String, [String])]
groupData = map (\x -> (head (head x), map (!! 1) x))
          . groupBy (\(x:xs) (y:ys) -> x == y || y == "")

I suppose that with this, building a proper data structure (i.e. something more typesafe than nested lists) should be straightforward.

"We've been occupied by Denmark for 600 years! That is enough and we need to change that soon." These are the words of Birgir Enni, a community fixture and captain of Faroese sightseeing vessel Norðlýsið, who has spoken to TheLocal.dk about the future relations between Denmark and the Faroe Islands.
These are the words of Birgir Enni, a community fixture and captain of Faroese sightseeing vessel Norðlýsið, who has spoken to TheLocal.dk about the future relations between Denmark and the Faroe Islands.
The Danish news website has also discussed this particular topic with Poul Michelsen, the Faroese minister of foreign affairs and trade, Hanna Jensen, co-founder of the Progressive Party, and Øssur Hovland, a retired teacher.
The Faroe Islands have been a self-governing country within the Kingdom of Denmark since 1948. The Faroese have control of most domestic matters. Areas that remain the responsibility of Denmark include military defence, policing and the justice department, currency, and foreign affairs. However, as they are not part of the same customs area as Denmark, the Faroe Islands have an independent trade policy and can establish trade agreements with other states. The islands also have representation in the Nordic Council as members of the Danish delegation. The Faroe Islands also have their own national teams competing in certain sports.
The current Faroese government consists of two pro-independence parties (Republic/Tjóðveldi and The Progressive Party/Framsókn) as well as the more moderate Social Democrats (Javnaðarflokkurin).


Being a good leader can be a tricky thing.
On one hand you're supposed to appear calm under pressure, on the other you need to impart passion and energy to your team.
And what about those days when you just don't feel like leading?
No matter the situation you find yourself in, knowing how to lead and feeling like a leader is vital to give you the confidence that others will believe in.
Then when you are called upon to demonstrate leadership skills, those skills can come to the fore instantly.
Some leaders are born ready to motivate and inspire, but many more have learned leadership skills along the way.
What we do know is that good leaders share certain qualities. This hypnosis session will imprint these on your mind using the uniquely focusing effects of hypnosis.
And there's another less obvious quality of a good leader - they look like leaders. Not in physical stature but in the way they move, speak and relate to others.
The Be a Leader hypnosis download will get your unconscious mind focused on what it takes to be a good leader.
It will help inspire you with confidence and develop the habits of thought and behavior that leaders either naturally possess or have developed.

Q: How to open windows' service-specific event log We need to read service-specific event log "Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager/Operational" programmatically. Following code
LPWSTR pwsLogName = L"Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager/Operational";
HANDLE hEventLog = OpenEventLog(nullptr, pwsLogName);

results opening "Application" log instead of required.
In the same time command line utility wevtutil can succesfuly read needed log:
wevtutil query-events Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager/Operational

What are we doing wrong?

A: Finally we've found OpenEventLog() is dead and we need to use Evt* functions (EvtQuery & company)

A: The behaviour is by design; see: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winbase/nf-winbase-openeventloga
Todo: check if registry key exists first, then use openEventLog() if succeeded.
   _stprintf_s(szKeyName, _T("System\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\EventLog\\%s"),szLogName);
    dwRet = RegOpenKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, szKeyName, &hKey);

        // continue with openEventLog()


Now that we've been on our Unexcused Absence for a little over a year, a few friends/readers had questions for us. On her recent visit with us, Suzanne posed the following questions on behalf of several mutual friends. Our answers are marked "A", her comments are marked "SG".
Q: Have you stuck to your original budget?
A: Yes and no. We earned less money working at Beaver Creek Resort than we originally planned, but we also enjoyed rental homes that included utilities and internet which saved us money. So, by dialing back some purchases (particularly eating out and clothing) we are able to keep our expenditures in line with the less-than-expected income. We spent more on the initial boat outfitting than expected — I'm sure all boat owners are laughing at that one!
Q: Was the budget accurate/doable?
A: It was very doable, but in reality it took us years to get to this point. Although we've been frugal historically (no cable TV, packing lunches instead of eating out, making saving a priority), over the past two years we radically reduced the amount of stuff that we own while drastically paring back our annual living expenses. We think we spend less than many friends and neighbors on home, cars, dining out, clothing, recreation and entertainment (not to mention children). We like to have a good time, but all of our disposable income is focused on our vacation lifestyle – which doubles as entertainment!
Kent is delighted to receive Scott's hand-me-downs!
SG: Recently adopted Rule #5 (Embrace Local Knowledge) was in full effect during K/H's time at Beaver Creek. While I was visiting, K/H scored discount lift tickets, discount dinners, discount liquors, discount beer, discount ski waxing. Much of their ski clothing was won at ski races or obtained as vendor swag giveaways. Leftover sandwiches from funded events were swiped for the next day's lunch. The car remained in the garage for all but one evening excursion and one grocery run; otherwise, K/H avoided rising gasoline costs by leveraging the free local bus service and walking everywhere else. I made dinner on several evenings in appreciation for lodging; I believe the whole chicken was their first piece of protein in months that hadn't been shredded in order to stretch it.
Q: Did you save enough money before you started this 'sabbatical'?
A: Yes, but keep in mind that although we are on an Unexcused Absence, we still earn money by working. Every dollar we earn and every dollar we don't spend means we can continue this life for just a little bit longer.
SG: Don't let these two fool you — there is more work being done than they or the photos would imply! Although they are often on the slopes, their day is not the carefree sleep late-ski-restaurant lunch-ski until it's-time-to-take-a-nap vacation lifestyle. On race or lesson days, they are up early and out the door, backpacks stuffed with gear to accommodate the changing weather. One morning, K left early to work a race for the morning, and I rode the bus with H to the slope, but didn't ski with her until a two-hour break – and afterwards she returned to work to conduct afternoon lessons. When they are home they are not distracted by television, so late afternoons and evenings are available for coding, writing, organizing, researching. Admittedly, having a two-hour break to ski mid-day is enviable — but they are not lounging at the Ritz enjoying a chinois salad and chardonnay every day. So at the core, the Unexcused Absence sabbatical has evolved a few steps back towards the Vacation Lifestyle – but now their lives are spread between geographically dispersed "homes" — rather than emanating from one central location in northern Virginia.
Q: What mistakes did you make and how would you do it if you could start all over again?
A: Other than not buying puts on CORV at 80, we made no major mistakes, but would change some minor things given the chance. We think we did well on our boat purchase in France and we can't imagine getting a better boat for the amount of money we spent. We have an absolute blast living at a major ski area for the entire season, and we don't regret at all our decision to get part-time jobs with the resort. Although the jobs take away a good bit of our free time, it is fun to be on the "inside" as employees. Minor things we might have changed are getting rid of a few bills earlier (smart phones, land lines, etc.) or focusing on not accumulating so much stuff early on as opposed to trying to sell/give it away later on!
Q: What tips/suggestions do you have for those thinking of embarking on a similar path?
A: Research and planning have been the keys to our success. We spoke with several boat owners in France to understand what sorts of boat- and living-expenses to expect. Kent read a number of books on boat and diesel repair in order to estimate our expenses and to help us with our choice of boat. As for coming to Beaver Creek, we knew friends in town and had spent enough time here that we had a good handle on expected living expenses. Once we knew roughly what to expect, we could adjust our spending habits so that our expenditures didn't exceed our income once we had made the commitment to a new lifestyle.
Plus, we have Kent's father, Don, who can assist us with matters that need immediate attention at home. You must have a reliable person to deal with the unexpected, whether a family member or a trusted friend. We couldn't do this without Don's "feet-on-the-ground" help!
SG: From my viewpoint, K/H didn't just research and then act in a one-two-three fashion. First there were numerous dry runs to test their thinking; their thinking evolved; then they implemented the plan. About three years ago during rental barging experiences, K/H initially considered purchasing a much bigger, more luxurious boat for plying the French canals. Due in part to reconnaissance work on both barging and the Colorado lifestyle, they ultimately decided to purchase the (much) smaller Après Ski. Taking jobs at the ski resort also has significant imbedded cost saving benefits of lockers, discounts on lift tickets, food, drinks. After one season at Beaver Creek they were much more savvy about where to live in order to maximize convenience and minimize expenses. The Moral of the Story remains universal: try before you buy.
Q: What technology (hardware and/or software) was invaluable for this journey?
A: Cloud mail, cloud docs, an iPad, a European mobile phone, and two pay-as-you-go wi-fi cellular modems, one for the US and one for France. We also love our MacBooks.
We found that international banking is fraught with hassles and backup credit cards and backup access to cash are critical while traveling. Incidentally, setting up a European bank account is a real hassle. If any of our readers would like more information on that, please feel free to contact us directly.
SG: Know that cables, cords and plugs litter every flat surface in their home — and they can be put into a bag for a trip or pulled out of a bag in a heartbeat in order to take advantage of an outlet. These two look like vagabonds at the airport, and dead batteries are a pox on this lifestyle.
Q: Has this lifestyle impacted your long-term savings plan?
A: Slightly, but not drastically. We haven't touched our tax-deferred or retirement accounts.
Q: How do you achieve a sense of home?
A: Our sense of home is defined much more by who is around us rather than what is in any particular place. We certainly insist that our living spaces are clean, but beyond that we don't have any particular attachment to living with this particular table or that particular vase. Yes, we enjoy our personal items and mementos, but in the wide world one table just isn't that different from another. We tend to live with a lot of IKEA stuff no matter where we land.
SG: This lifestyle isn't for the nostalgic; all paintings of Great Uncle Henry, the newspaper from the day of your birth, or family silver from Aunt Betty must be sold. Storing it isn't an option as storage costs money and that takes away from the vacation lifestyle. It was a tough emotional hurdle for K/H to eliminate nearly all physical mementos from their daily life that would otherwise have to be transported from one place to another. Now, unless a memory can be contained in a photograph that can be digitized it will not be joining them in France or Colorado. On the other hand, once these items are eliminated from life then home can become fairly small!
Q: Financially, how long can you maintain this lifestyle?
A: It's not clear. We've really pared down our living expenses, and as long as we can cover our bills we're OK. However, we doubt there is a way that this lifestyle can be permanent. We sure scheme and think about it though!
SG: I hereby offer (straw man) terminology: Horizontal Snowbirds. I predict K/H will transit between France, DC, and Colorado for a few years until it isn't fun anymore, they find a new passion, or life intervenes, whatever. As a casual observer, it appears that when employment can be accomplished remotely or in bursts, then with careful planning and sustained frugality this path may be financially sustainable.
Q: What unintended sacrifices have you made?
A: The most difficult thing is to be away from family and friends. We really regret it when we can't make it to certain events or gatherings because we're away. Fortunately, friends do come to visit us from time to time!
On the financial side (and this is minor) we do sometimes miss living in our home (which we've rented) as well as nice restaurants, beauty salons, trendy clothing (Heather, certainly not Kent), and the latest electronic gadgets.
SG: There are small daily reminders of the choices that this lifestyle forces K/H to make. I chuckle every time I see Kent eyeing my two iPhones; he smiles knowing that he doesn't have to pay service contracts. Although large computer monitors offer beautifully sharp images that can be seen without glasses, they are not transportable like a laptop and just don't work for this lifestyle.
Q: Is it hard to make real friends?
A: No, not at all. We dive into the communities of which we are a part. At Beaver Creek, we both volunteer for the Birds of Prey World Cup Ski Race and work at the resort. The commitment required to volunteer for a big event like this self-selects to some very interesting people. Spending 10 or more hard-earned vacation days working long hours outside in the cold and snow (for no pay!) means that our fellow volunteers almost all have quite a different perspective on life. Plus, Kent (and sometimes Heather) races two to three times per week in recreational races and Heather is training for her PSIA certification. We're constantly meeting great people.
On the waterways, all the boats are constantly in motion. We tend to introduce ourselves to slip neighbors and join in marina community activities (bbq's, potlucks and watching rugby or soccer matches). Often, boats will cross one another's paths multiple times during the season if they are traveling the same direction so we tend to see friends several times in one season. It's called "The Watery Village" for a reason!
SG: Now that K/H are on a "schedule," friends are finding it easier to make plans to join them in France and/or Colorado.
Q: How is the vacation lifestyle different than what you envisioned?
A: We're constantly busy! In the winter, we ski, train or race nearly every day. On the waterways, there are always people to meet, boat projects to do, or things to see. Before we began this adventure we pictured ourselves lounging away the days in various exotic vacation destinations. Ha! We have way less free time than we ever imagined.
SG: K/H are stronger, healthier, and are in better physical shape than they have been for many years. (Well, let's forget about non-recurring accidents!) They are either in motion, or sitting in front of a computer doing work. Movies are rare; no time is spent lounging in front of TV programs (the TV was not even connected to the cable box when I visited in Beaver Creek!).
Q: What is better than you envisioned?
A: As we stray farther from a more "traditional" lifestyle, life's possibilities and beauty become endless. Material possessions take on less meaning, while our time with each other, with our friends and exploring the wide world gains tremendous value. Plus, especially on the boat, we feel like each day is a full experience. We're acutely aware of the passing of time, the sun moving across the sky, the rhythms of the animals at different times of the day, etc. And the French seem to experience a day differently than we in America do; most businesses close for a good two hours mid-day, and then close again in the early evening (or even the late afternoon!). So most workers take the time to relax with colleagues over an extended lunch, and they get home early enough to spend meaningful time with their families.
Q: Is there anything left for you two to talk about? Do you even converse when others aren't around?
SG: On my first morning at Beaver Creek I walked into the kitchen/living room to find K/H each humped over a PC, cereal within reach, not talking to each other. Thinking I had found a flaw in the Unexcused Absence, they reminded me that even in "real life" they typically didn't speak much in the morning, a time more devoted to reading the paper, catching up on Facebook, etc. I can attest that conversation picked up as each day progressed. Their most animated conversations are regarding the strategy required to sustain or enhance the vacation lifestyle. Kent continues to participate in any conversation about food and sailing in the Caribbean. They still hold hands and kiss.


Guide Internet pages-when it arrives to building opt-in pages, LeadPages.net is 1 of the most strong resources you have at your disposal. They have tracked and examined a variety of web page styles to determine which types transform best, and they make it straightforward for you to construct equivalent web pages for your advertising funnel. The purpose men and women like LeadPages is because it has a drag and drop attribute that can make constructing your opt-in pages a breeze. It does appear with a price of $25/thirty day period if you shell out each year.So just before investing, you may want to be positive you can recoup your expense.
I also advise OptimizePress which is yet another landing website page builder. With OptimizePress you shell out a one particular time price of $ninety seven and it is yours for the 12 months. No month to month payments. You do have to renew it annually but the renewal payment is only $34. OptimizePress has opt-in pages, webinar internet pages, thank you internet pages and is straightforward to function with just like Guide Web pages. It's a choice that you have to make monetarily and which a single works for you the greatest.
Instabuilder-related to LeadPages, but with no the month-to-month expenditure. Instabuilder is a plugin for WordPress that enables you to create your personal funnels. It contains several funnel templates and a drag-and-fall page builder that makes it easy to get just the appear you want.
AWeber- When it will come to an electronic mail marketing administration technique, I choose Aweber. It truly is almost certainly the best e-mail manager on the market nowadays, Aweber is the choice for numerous little enterprise house owners, not only simply because it's simple to use, but since it is also inexpensive. Starting up at significantly less than $twenty per month for up to five hundred subscribers, Aweber provides each autoresponders and broadcast emails, list automation, and segmenting, so you can ship e-mail exactly when-and to whom-you want to include to your revenue pipeline.

PayPal-Is the easiest of all payment processors, PayPal allows you to get payments on the web for a quite reasonable payment. You can also use it as a basic buying cart for your website.
Infusionsoft-Possibly the leading tool for any company product, Infusionsoft is an all-in-one solution for customer management, funnel setup, mailing list, and even membership websites. It really is priced at the higher end, but if you can (and will) use all its electricity, then Infusionsoft is well worth the expenditure. It is a significant expense although, It really is not for someone just commencing their business. At $199 a thirty day period with a upfront charge of $999 you would use this tool for getting your company to the following level.
A way to produce web webpages. A simple WordPress web site will fill this need to have, with a small bit of function. LeadPages, Enhance Press, and Instabuilder are nice to have, but not essential, specially if you happen to be just receiving began.
A way to capture electronic mail addresses. Aweber is definitely the prime choice right here, but other folks include MailChimp, Continuous Get in touch with, and iContact.
Take your time and start out modest. Construct the sales funnel by making use of tools that don't expense a fortune. Once you have a couple of marketing funnels up and operating, you will be capable to see in which they can use advancement, and how the equipment offered to you can assist make your income funnels change far better and work a lot more successfully.


Yes, I know it is only January. It's cold. The days are short and I'm stuck inside. But now is the best time to start planning your garden. I love January because that's when I start receiving all the seed and gardening catalogs and my dreams begin to come alive!
There are so many beautiful pictures in these catalogs. I feel like a little girl looking at the Sears-Roebuck Christmas Wish Book - I want one of everything! However, if I want my flowers and vegetables to look like the pictures in the catalogs, I need to understand how to interpret the catalog's descriptions. Not all flowers and vegetables are suited to all climates, and seed catalogs will give you the information you need for success.
Catalog descriptions usually include specific information, such as plant height (how tall a plant will grow) and plant spread (how much space a plant will take in the garden; flower size, fruit size; the number of days to germination; number of days to maturity. These numbers are estimates, though, because every garden has a unique microclimate.
Make sure you know your planting zone, which is how you can find out which plants will grow successfully in your climate. You can find it here if you live in the United States. Also consider the spot you will be planting your flowers and vegetables. Vegetable gardens need a minimum of 6 hours of continuous full sun. Less than that and your plants will be spindly and production will be low. Trust me, I know from bitter experience that you can't fool Mother Nature on this one!
If you are planting a flower garden, there are all different plants for different light levels. Terms you will see are full shade, partial shade, partial sun and full sun. Again, a plant that thrives in full shade will burn up in full sun and a flower that needs full sun will be weak and spindly and produce few flowers.
Some seeds are treated with fungicides to help them grow in cool, wet soil. However, seeds are available untreated. If a catalog doesn't say that they offer untreated seeds then chances are the seeds are treated. A quick Google search for "untreated seeds" yielded lots of sources.
Seed companies want you to be dazzled by their brilliant products. And I am! Don't be afraid to try new varieties. Just remember that if you live in North Dakota, varieties designed to grow well in Florida will be smaller. Have fun shopping!

People who work in in manufacturing firms do coat items with fluoropolymer substance. The various examples of types of manufacturing plants which use fluoropolymer coating material are electronic, hardware, and automobile industries. Some of the other brand names given to this coating spray are Teflon, Xylan, and Fluon. This coating substance is made up of two elements; carbon and fluoride compound. When the two elements join together, the spray is found to contain a powerful connection in its physical state. Fluoropolymer has many properties that are found to come through the negative fluoride element. There are normally two kinds of coatings in fluoropolymer technology; the single and multipolymer coating. A lot of individuals are becoming aware of fluoropolymer coating substance in the modern days. A lot of individuals are even hiring coating experts for the services. It is good to consider some things when hiring industrial coating services. The first thing that one is required to do is approach persons who have done fluoropolymer coating job for several years.
During such a time, it is important to purchase items coated with the spray material from reputable factories. In such a time, it is advantageous to look for the affordable industrial coating and other experts of this service. It is important to use products coated with fluoropolymer in various ways. Food manufacturers are found to coat most of their tools with Teflon substance. One of the food production factory where these coated tools are used is in bread making industry. The baking pans coated with the polymer material are found to be nonstick to the food materials. Fluoropolymer when used in coating the cooking items makes it to be fun when washing the utensils. The coating substance are used in coating wires connected in aircrafts. Through these coated wires, the air machines cannot catch fire at any given time. Such a scenario is experienced since the coated surface act as fire barrier. Cooking items coated with fluoropolymer also cannot burn the skin when hot because of the same property.
In the vehicle assembling industry, Teflon spray is used on the surface of things such as brake systems and nuts. Expect these sections of automobiles to be vulnerable to high friction and corrosion when the machines are moving from one place to another . This coating substance is known to reduce friction and resist corrosion on these auto parts. One can therefore not spend their money in buying the broken parts of their vehicle. Machineries coated with fluoropolymer are washed within no time. This makes people to use little amount of water in the process. It is possible to buy items coated with many colors of the coating substance.

By using technology, the Wevo-Method delivers additional revenue to businesses without concern of the hours opened. Corporations are using these hacks to their advantage and now it's time for Small Businesses.
If you run a local business, then you're probably aware of 2 limits to your income. The hours you're opened and the amount of foot traffic you generate.
Meanwhile, there's a world where technology is closing down retail stores. And impacting other industries overnight.
T̟H̟E̟ F̟I̟R̟S̟T̟ B̟I̟G̟ P̟R̟O̟B̟L̟E̟M̟.. most businesses are only opened for about 10 hours a day.
New technology allows these dominating business like Amazon to generate revenue 24/7.
Leaving those unable to produce revenue 24/7 at a disadvantage.
Out of pure necessity, the WEVO-Method takes the best practices of experts in the marketing and sales industry.
Give local businesses access to technology that generate revenue 24/7 without having to extend their work hours.
On Average 2/3 Of Your Foot Traffic Buyers Will Never Return. This Little Glass Jar Method Keeps Them Coming Back!
See What New Technology Allows Local Businesses To Generate Revenue 24/7 Without Extending Work Hours.
There are 3 major factors that we see in the marketplace. This is what's happening now.
And at any moment the opportunity to take advantage of it can end.
We must act now to move from struggling to thriving. From a place where you're surviving into dominating. And able to focus on growing your influence.
The financial gap have become wider. The internet has opened up a new source of automation.
Robots are causing in-demand jobs to lose value. And wiping out jobs and industries. More millionaire come from in front of a laptop than working at a cash register.
And now because robots and automation are taking away jobs. There are increasing more people available to work the cash register. And less with the skills to create wealth using technology.
With the rise of social media, local influence is being replaced by national brands. It's a race! Who can get more like, followers, and comments?
The one who can create the biggest following, wins. We are becoming conditioned to follow the masses.
So now instead of shopping local… your customer are buying from Amazon. Influencers, and others because those are the popular options.
Technology is advancing so fast that many people and businesses are behind. Because they lack the knowledge or resources to take part.
Corporation and online businesses have an advantage… They learn new technology quickly and use it to their advantage. Meanwhile small businesses are slow to learn and adapt.
This allows some companies to take off and change like a rocket launcher. And others change like a cliff.
This is why there is a trend of retail stores closing. Companies like Amazon, Uber, Airbnb, and Bitcoin, come in and shake up entire industries.
The WEVO-Method takes advantages of these technologies. Combine them with collaboration with some of the top experts in the industries. And as a results generates additional streams of revenue for local businesses 24/7.

The 22 teams of the 2014 Tour de France were announced this week. Being selected for the Tour de France is big. Not only does the Grand Tour bring the best chance of highest income for the year, inclusion in the race is a symbol of being the best of the best (unless you are a French Pro Continental team then you just get to go).
Each of the 22 teams will have 9 riders, adding up to the traditional super big peloton of 198 riders and making getting a hotel room anywhere near a stage start nearly impossible. Below I have linked up each team's name with the corresponding ProCycling Stats page (great site!), the source for more information, team jerseys, riders, analysis and statistics.
IAM CYCLING (Sui) Sylvain Chavannel!
My review of the route and climbs of the 2014 Tour de France, here: Route of the 2014 Tour de France. If the riders cover 3,656 kilometres in 23 days, think how far these team buses and team cars drive to get to the start and stop villages, to hotels, to feed stations, and pick up supplies. The teams cover big total mileage every year.
I always get excited driving down the road with the team buses heading in the same direction to the next start village. To me it has become a wonderful symbol of chasing a tour.
Update: Chris Horner was confirmed as signing to Lampre-Merida. Photo for the Day - Chris Horner. Read the news from today: Lampre confirms signing of Chris Horner for 2014 season.
How much will Horner make at Lampre-Merida? Well that remains to be seen because he and his non-official spokesman Baden Cooke designed a contract heavy with bonuses. Which means the better the 42-year old races, the more money he will make. Awesome idea I told my brother in our morning conversation today, "Probably something they should require of more riders, like Andy Schleck for starters." Sorry Andy, but performance based models make sense in a world of get your World Champion victory or Grand Tour podium and rush to sign a four-year contract, then answer one hundred thousand interview questions about the big come-back so your salary makes sense. Chris Horner has motivation.

EU Diplomats Help Opposing Parties Reach Settlement Amid Georgia's Political Crisis
Benjamin Fikhman
European Union (EU) brokers helped Georgia's ruling party and opposition reach a deal to help stem the political crisis in the country of Georgia on Monday, according to European Council President Charles Michel. This development follows a two-month period of strife as a result of the detention of opposition politician Nika Melia. The agreement demands that Georgia institute an amnesty law within one week of the agreement's signing that would release June 2019 protestors from jail, and that stipulation in the agreement could potentially culminate in the release of Nika Melia and other detained opposition leaders.
Al Jazeera reports that the agreement also includes judicial and electoral reforms seeking to prevent the country from further backsliding on democracy as concerns suggest. In addition, the agreement means that the opposition would re-enter Georgia's parliament and that the ruling party would hold new parliamentary elections if its municipal elections fail to garner more than 43% of the votes, Emerging Europe notes.
Council President Michel cited the new agreement as a "starting point" in front of the signing ceremony's participants, emphasizing the need for intraparty cooperation to strengthen Georgia's democracy and to improve its relationship with European and Atlantic alliances, according to Barron's. He advocates for these goals at the same time Georgia plans to formally apply for EU membership in 2024.
The U.S. Department of State released a statement two days before the agreement's signing, calling on members of Georgia's parliament to sign and respect the agreement brokered by the EU. Politico reports that Nika Melia's opposition party United National Movement (UNM) refused to endorse the agreement, but enough members of Parliament, including those from UNM, signed it, ending the parliamentary boycott in its large-scale form as government activity realizes normalcy. After meeting with Michel, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili and President Salome Zourabishvili expressed gratitude towards Michel, the EU, and American embassies in Georgia, according to the Georgia Journal.
The struggle for an agreement to resume normal government activity while also ensuring electoral fairness and amnesty for those who dissented indicates a strong existing reverence for democracy in Georgia. The agreement's potential to diffuse high tensions in a country with a turbulent political history is also worthy of praise because it promotes peaceful solutions. The European Union has done the right thing by taking an active role in brokering an agreement for the welfare of Georgia, and it is noteworthy that, as Michel mentioned, this is only a beginning stage in the normalization of Georgia's politics from within and outside. Thus far, however, only a part of the opposition signed the agreement. This means that going forward there must be further dialogue and cooperation surrounding the question of how to reconcile all political groups to engage constructively with one another in an effort to bolster peace and stability. The European Union and the United States should maintain an active role.
The need for an agreement in the first place comes from rising tensions, large protest blockades in Tbilisi, parliamentary boycotts, and generally a political environment that is not sustainable when it comes to facilitating a functionally effective government. Nika Melia, the UNM's former leader, was detained two months ago following a police raid on his party's headquarters, which he said was politically motivated, according to Reuters.
The outrage and backlash by citizens in and out of the government were strong to the point where former Prime Minister Giorgi Ghakaria resigned because of disagreement with his own team about Melia's detention. He stated concern that the detention would worsen political fallout. Historically, Georgia had found itself under Russian influence and domination. Given the occasion of the EU-brokered argument that may reduce the degree of persistent political polarization, Georgia may be inching closer towards a peaceful reconciliation with the European Union and away from Russia's sphere of influence on the South Caucasus.
The political conflict in Georgia will not be coming to a full close as a result of the April 19 agreement, but after a period of tension, it is important to introduce a settlement that can find some peace. To further ensure a peaceful society, Georgia's citizens must be prioritized over political rhetoric and division. It is vital for Georgia's leaders and representatives to cease rhetoric that further increases political strife, and it is as important for international actors to pursue further dialogue as to how the country's situation can improve. Georgia is at a pivotal point in the development of its own democracy; therefore, an effective government is of the utmost importance to allow divisiveness to abate, especially amid an assertive Russia. Nika Melia's release is a subject that also needs to be prioritized in the ongoing effort to reconcile political parties, as the UNM has yet to offer their full approval of the agreement brokered by the EU.

Kathryn Zmistowski and Pelham Wilder IV are Georgia folk, through and through — Pelham grew up in Atlanta, and Kathryn just outside of the city in Covington. As a couple, the two have spent their entire adult lives together here, including the home they now share in Virginia-Highlands. So it just makes sense that their wedding would pay homage to these strong Southern roots with the ultimate Atlanta soiree.
Kathryn Zmistowski and Pelham Wilder IV tied the knot on October 10, 2015 at Ansley Golf Club.
The VaHi neighborhood isn't just special to the couple because they own real estate there — it served as the backdrop for their first date, entire courtship, even their engagement. For the actual nuptials, the couple kept things in town and had their wedding at Ansley Golf Club.
Kathryn was the picture of sophisticated grace as she prepared for her big day.
Ansley Golf Club served as the perfect Atlanta wedding venue, especially since Pelham spent so much time at the beautiful clubhouse when growing up.
Meet "Marjorie," an Alençon lace mermaid gown with a Swarovski beaded belt and details along the sweetheart neckline. "'Marjorie' was the first dress I tried on [at Winnie Couture's Atlanta flagship boutique], and we all simply fell in love immediately," says Kathryn.
Kathryn looks like the picture of calm as Annagrace Martin does her hair and makeup. The beauty expert did the makeup for the rest of the bridal party, as well.
The couple designed their own wedding programs.
The pair, accompanied by their wedding party of 15+, got married on the practice green at Ansley and had the reception in the club's ballroom. Though the ceremony was a gorgeous outdoor space, it almost didn't come to be during last year's very wet and rainy fall. The day began overcast and rain started falling an hour before the ceremony's start. Though it was risky to still plan and have the ceremony outside, Kathryn stuck with her original concept. Cupid must have been eavesdropping, because for the exact 50 minutes the ceremony was scheduled, the clouds parted and the sun came out. Though the rain started up again during the photos, you don't get much better timing.
The family's Southern roots were proudly represented in the day's menu: hors d'oeuvres of sugar-smacked bacon, pimento cheese puffs and deviled eggs; dinner featuring fried catfish, shrimp and grits, a macaroni and cheese station and Ansley's famous chicken tenders; and Southern desserts (minus a traditional wedding cake) of red velvet cake, peanut butter and chocolate cake, and key lime pie.
Kathryn gave her seven bridesmaids and one "man of honor" robes to get ready for the big day. The bride made sure her entire bridal party felt relaxed, confident and beautiful (or handsome in this case).
Pelham had eight groomsmen to stand at his side.
Kathryn's bridesmaids wore J. Crew bridal collection, in varying styles of knee-length silk chiffon dresses in Newport Navy. Her Man of Honor wore a navy suit from J. Crew.
Kathryn and Pelham lucked out when it came to the weather — the rain stopped and the clouds parted for only the length of their ceremony, just enough time to create a magical moment that everyone was able to share together.
Music sets the tone for any wedding. Kathryn and Pelham's guests listened to the soothing sounds of harpist Fay Ellen Steelnack before the procession commenced.
The bridesmaids (and Man of Honor) and flower girl are ready to walk Kathryn down the aisle and get this party started!
Though the weather may have temporarily shaken Kathryn's resolve, the event went off without a hitch. In fact, the only drops that fell were those of happy tears when Pelham delivered his gift to Kathryn — a pair of earrings made from his grandmother's pearls. The groom's grandparents have passed away, but he kept their spirit alive in a few sweet traditions — like the gift to his bride and the fact that he used his grandfather's wedding band. Inside the band, Pelham's grandparents' initials and wedding date are engraved; Pelham and Kathryn have now added their initials and their wedding date to the band, as well.
Kathryn and Pelham taking a few minutes for themselves after tying the knot.
When a traditional wedding cake won't do, serve lots of delicious desserts! Kathryn and Pelham went with their favorites: red velvet cake, chocolate and peanut butter cake, and key lime pie.
Emily Burdette at Ansley Golf Club handled everything at the club so Kathryn could focus on the groom, her family and friends, and making memories.
Once the reception started, it was time for Pelham to kick up his feet, put his hands behind his head and just relax.
Kathryn and Pelham's wedding rings have special meaning — Pelham's wedding band originally belonged to his grandfather. Next to his grandparents' inscribed initials and wedding date now are Kathryn and Pelham's initials and wedding date.
The wedding ended the way it began, with smiles, love and lots of light. And, of course, sparklers!
What's a wedding at Ansley Golf Club without driving off in a golf cart?! The couple later spent their honeymoon in the U.S. Virgin Islands for 10 relaxing days.
A huge note of thanks goes to Elle Wood of Elle Wood Photography and Matt & Patty Photography for sharing these wonderful photographs.

The Intercept reveals a secret Pentagon competition to carry out 'proxy' wars in various parts of the world
Published: 5 Jul 2022 01:14 GMT
The medium refers to 23 existing military programs between 2017 and 2020 of which few congressmen would have been aware.
The United States would have used a secret power to launch more than twenty wars subsidiaries or 'proxy' wars since 2017, according to an article published Friday by The Intercept, which cites never-before-seen documents as a source, as well as several high-ranking officials familiar with these programs.
The outlet, which received the documents through the Freedom of Information Act, affirms that these files are the first official confirmation that at least 14 of the so-called " 127e" were still active in the greater Middle East and Asia-Pacific in 2020. In total, the Pentagon would have launched 23 such programs around the world between 2017 and 2020, which would have cost 310 million dollars to US taxpayers.
The Intercept explains that 127e is one of several abilities virtually unknown granted to the Department of Defense by Congress in the last two decades. In particular, it authorizes US commandos to conduct "anti-terrorist operations" in cooperation with foreign troops and forces partners from partner countries around the world with minimal external oversight.
In addition, the program allows the US to arm, train, and provide intelligence to foreign forces. However, unlike traditional foreign aid programs, which focus on building local capabilities in partner countries, the 127e forces are designed to follow the US orders and conduct Washington-directed missions against US enemies to achieve US objectives, essentially serving as Pentagon 'proxy' armies.
According to the media, almost no information regarding These operations are shared with members of the Congress or State Department officials. It is generally unknown where these operations take place, their frequency, their objectives, or even the identity of the foreign forces with which the US cooperates to carry them out.
A government official familiar with the program told The Intercept anonymously that most members of Congress are not even authorized to see the reports on 127e, and that those who do have it rarely request them. "This was designed to avoid supervision," he explained.
