Why You Should Choose a Website Over Facebook
Andrew Allemann	| July 6, 2017
Did you know that over 40% of small businesses don't have a website?*
There are many reasons companies choose not to create a website. For example, many small business owners can't afford to pay someone to build their site, and their lack of time and technical expertise make it less likely they'll build one themselves.
Instead, some businesses opt to build a Facebook page or utilize other social media as their main online presence instead of creating a website.
But having just a Facebook page can mean lost business and added headaches. And it's now easier and cheaper than ever to create a website.
Facebook Isn't the Best Solution
While Facebook pages are an easy way for many small business owners to build an online presence, there are many reasons why this isn't the best solution for most businesses.
The URL you'll need to give people to access your page is very long, in the format of Facebook.com/alotoftext.
You don't get email with a Facebook page, so you won't have a professional email address to put on your business card. People who rely on Facebook tend to give out Gmail, Yahoo, or even Hotmail email addresses to customers and clients.
Without a website, you give the impression that you don't take your business seriously.
Facebook only shows your posts to some of your customers and fans. You have to pay advertising fees to reach more of them. So while pages are free to set up, building an audience costs quite a bit of money on an ongoing basis.
You don't actually "own" your web presence; you are at the mercy of Facebook and the decisions it makes to boost its bottom line.
You can't reach customers who don't use Facebook.
The bottom line: if you want your business to grow and be successful, a dedicated website is the best solution. And once you build your site, you can link it to your Facebook page to build your audience twice as fast.
Building a Website is Easier Than Ever
Fortunately, the process of building a website takes less time, costs less, and is easier than ever, so there's no excuse not to have your own website.
Namecheap offers a number of apps that make it easy to build a website and get a professional email address. In particular, check out EasyWP, Namecheap's new managed WordPress hosting option that makes setting up a new WordPress website quick and simple.
Namecheap's hosting services are also affordable, with hosting plans starting at less than $10 a year. EasyWP starts out at just $8.88 for the first year.
An Intermediate Step
While you're building your website, here are two tips to get the most out of Facebook without being locked into the Facebook platform.
Register a domain name for your business and forward it to your Facebook page. It's much shorter, easier to remember and will look good on your business card. When you decide to build your own website you already have a domain name your customers know about.
Set up professional email on your domain name. At Namecheap, you can set up email hosting for as little as $9.88 per year.
So what are you waiting for? With our services, you can get a new website up and running before you know it. And if you need help with WordPress, check out our previous articles that will help you get started.

An arteriovenous fistula is a surgically crafted connection between a vein and an artery (usually in the arm). Sometimes an artificial (Gortex) graft is used for the same purpose. For both fistulas and grafts, the connection between your artery and vein increases blood flow through the vein. In response, your vein stretches and becomes strengthened. This allows an even greater amount of blood to pass through the vein and allows your dialysis to proceed efficiently. In the weeks after surgery, the fistula begins to mature. The vein increases in size and may look like a cord under your skin. The whole process of maturation, which is a beneficial feature that permits the blood flow to increase in the fistula, typically takes 3 to 6 months. Some fistulas may take as long as a year or more to develop fully, but this is unusual. Once matured, a fistula should be large and strong enough for dialysis technicians and nurses to insert the large dialysis needles easily. If it fails to mature in a reasonable period of time, however, you may need another fistula.
During dialysis (hemodialysis) a needle is placed in the fistula to remove a portion of your blood to circulate it through the dialysis machine so it can remove impurities and regulate fluid and chemical balances. The purified blood is then returned to you, again through the fistula.
Before choosing the access site, your surgeon may ask you if you have a history or symptoms of arm or leg artery disease. Hardening of the arteries, which reduces blood flow to your arms or legs, often can cause these conditions. Your vascular surgeon will not place a dialysis access site in an area of the body with reduced circulation because the blood flow will be insufficient. For this reason, your surgeon usually places dialysis access sites in the arms rather than in the legs because atherosclerosis is more common in the legs.
Your vascular surgeon may order a blood flow test in your arms and legs, such as an ultrasound exam. Your vascular surgeon will give you the necessary instructions you need to follow before the surgery, such as fasting. Usually, your physician will ask you not to eat or drink anything 8 hours before your procedure. Your physician will discuss with you whether to reduce or stop any medications that might increase your risk of bleeding or other complications.
Typically the procedure is performed on a day case basis unless you are already in hospital. Usually, it is performed under local anaesthesia (perhaps with some sedation). Sometimes, the procedure is done under General Anaesthesia.
Depending upon the quality of your artery and vein, your surgeon will try to construct the fistula with one incision in the arm that you do not use as frequently. For example, if you're left handed, your physician will place the fistula in your right arm, if possible.
What can I expect after dialysis access?
After the operation, you should initially keep the access area raised above your heart to reduce swelling and pain. Your surgeon may recommend an over-the-counter painkiller to relieve pain, if necessary.
You should perform exercises to grow and strengthen your fistula, after the pain from the surgery decreases, to make dialysis faster and easier. Your physician may recommend squeezing a soft object using the hand on the arm in which the fistula was placed.

Word is that Barbara Bellucci, who appears prominently in the "Blondes" thread on this site, died on August 13, 2011 of complications related to pneumonia.
Incredibly sad ... way too young. r.i.p. Barbara!
That is indeed very sad! May you Rest in Peace Barbara!
Very sorry to hear about this.
so sad. rest in peace.
She was my heart-throb and it's a crying shame to lose her. Rest in peace, dear.
I almost hate to address the HIV thing - but I had two friends die of it, and the end came from 'complications due to pneumonia'. A normally young healthy person can usually fend off pneumonia, but if their immune system is compromised, they can't fight it off. In one case it was quite sudden.
But back to Barbara - beautiful and it's tragic to lose her.
Also, smc stated that she has passed away from pnemonia in the OP of the thread.
I called her once back in 2003 for a photoshoot and she told me "nao posso, to viajandi pra italia"
Her beautiful person will be missed. RIP Barbara.
One of my favorites, it is really sad. R.I.P Dear Barbara!!!


Northern Ireland's police chief is facing an investigation into alleged misconduct in public office.
George Hamilton and a number of other senior Police Service of Northern Ireland officers are subject to the investigation by the region's Police Ombudsman.
The PSNI said they "completely refute" all allegations.
The claims relate to how the PSNI handled an inquiry into the awarding of a contract to supply vehicles to the force.
Former West Yorkshire chief constable Mark Gilmore, a former PSNI officer, and retired PSNI assistant chief constable Duncan McCausland were among nine people interviewed by detectives in the 2014 investigation into bribery and misconduct in public office.
No charges were ultimately brought against any of the men - all of whom denied any wrongdoing.
Mr Hamilton, current deputy chief constable Drew Harris and current assistant chief constable Mark Hamilton are all now being investigated by Ombudsman Dr Michael Maguire. A number of other less senior officers are also under investigation.
Dr Maguire has received complaints from a number of those investigated in the vehicle contracts probe in 2014, including Mr McCausland and Mr Gilmore.
It is understood the claims include allegations that police documents were altered.
The PSNI has issued a lengthy statement denying any wrongdoing.
"PSNI can confirm that a number of senior officers, including the chief constable and deputy chief constable, have been informed of complaints made against them by former senior PSNI officers," said a spokeswoman.
"The complaints relate to allegations of misconduct by senior police during a criminal investigation by the PSNI into the two complainants, former senior colleagues, during 2014.
"PSNI acknowledges and supports the need for the Office of the Police Ombudsman to investigate these allegations and all officers are co-operating fully with the investigation.
"The chief constable, deputy chief constable and other officers completely refute the allegations made against them and are strongly of the view that these complex investigations into the complainants were conducted with professionalism and integrity. This position has been fully outlined in the officers' initial response to Oponi (Office of Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland).
"Whilst ordinarily the Police Service would limit its responses on matters where it is under investigation, this case has particular and unusual aspects to it.
"This case has been the subject of recent speculative press and media coverage which has the potential to negatively impact on public confidence in policing.


This looks really delicious. Such a perfect meal for cold rainy days. I will definitely like to try this recipe. Thank you for sharing.

After 17 years together as a band, Delirious?, one of the most popular bands in Christian music, brought their illustrious career to an end last night (29th November) with their farewell concert at London's Hammersmith Apollo.
The three hour concert saw the band open the night as the 'Cutting Edge Band', performing many of the songs that made them a household name, such as I'm Not Ashamed, Shout To The North, I've Found Jesus, I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever and Did You Feel The Mountains Tremble.
After a set change, and some different outfits, the five members returned as 'Delirious?' for a rousing send-off featuring all of their biggest hits. Notable performances included Bliss, My Glorious, Solid Rock, Deeper, Jesus Blood, Majesty, Obsession, Rain Down and History Maker.
During the song Investigate, the band were joined by original drummer Stew Smith for an emotional reunion. Returning to the stage for their final encore, Delirious? ended the night, and their time together as a band, with the anthemic My Soul Sings. With his voice struggling with emotions, lead singer Martin Smith thanked the fans and encouraged them to continue being History Makers.

The entrance to Union Station is one of the areas that underwent a complete renovation.
Outside of a stint in the military, Jeremiah Micka has worked at Union Station in Northampton since age 13. He knows every nook and cranny in the building, but will never forget the awe he felt the first time he entered the doors of the main area, which was built in 1896.
"I had never been in a room with 20-foot ceilings and such impressive lighting. But I always thought it could be something grander than a restaurant. It deserved to be a ballroom," he said, adding that Presidents Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, William McKinley, and Theodore Roosevelt made appearances there.
It took years for Micka to realize his vision, but today it has become a reality. Union Station has undergone a $1 million renovation, which preserved the historic interior, but revamped areas that needed improvement.
Micka began the work in November 2013 after purchasing the building, where he had been employed as a line cook, server, bartender, and bar manager. He contracted some jobs, but much of it was a labor of love, and he put in countless hours of painstaking effort to get things exactly the way he dreamed they should be.
Renovations included a new roof on the building, gutting the bathrooms and replacing them with modern fixtures, and installing new carpeting, a dance floor, and a tile floor in the hallway. The entranceway also received attention, and charm and utility were added with Goshen stone steps, brick pavers, stone walls, new plantings, and a curved handicapped ramp.
When Micka took the building over, the well-known Tunnel Bar in the basement of the building, and the Deck, located outside of the station, were doing well. But he knew the area that had been occupied by Spaghetti Freddy's for years was an architectural gem, and he transformed the former restaurant area by focusing on its historic attributes.
"There was no doubt in my mind that this area would become our banquet hall," Micka said as he sat in the newly created, 2,800-square-foot Grand Ballroom, pointing out its lofty ceilings, striking archway, enormous fireplace, buff-colored brick walls, and impressive windows.
After repurposing the Lounge and transforming the Italian eatery into a ballroom, Micka focused on the rear of the building, which became the Platform Sports Bar. It boasts 21 televisions with surround sound, 110-inch projectors, and seating for almost 200 people. "During the winter, we have a disc jockey, and we have had wedding parties go into the bar and start dancing after the reception," he said. People also frequent the well-known Tunnel Bar after events, and Micka has opened it early for group functions.
Although the Grand Ballroom and Lounge are rife with character, they have a more formal feel, and since Micka knew some people prefer to hold events in a casual space, he built the Blue Goose Room in the rear of the sports bar, where small parties gather and enjoy pub-style food and cocktails.
Since Union Station reopened 14 months ago, 20 weddings and more than 100 events have been held in the ballroom, and an equal number have been held in the Blue Goose Room. There have also been numerous parties in the Lounge, including holiday gatherings for small companies, rehearsal dinners, bridal and baby showers, and more.
"When we say this place is unique, we really mean it. We are flexible and appeal to so many different people," Micka said.
Union Station is a landmark in Northampton, and last December, Amtrak's Vermonter began stopping at a new passenger rail platform located just to the south of the building. "The track runs past the station, and children who come to holiday events can be seen pressing their face to the windows when the train goes by," Duncan said.
The Lounge in Union Station can seat 50 people and is a popular spot for small company parties as well as showers, rehearsal dinners, and other gatherings.
Micka added that the station is easily accessible. "People coming off of I-91 simply take a left, then a right a short distance down the road into our driveway. We own the parking lot and have 400 spaces.
Food for all functions is prepared on site, and the chefs use as much local produce as possible. "I was born and raised on a fourth-generation, 60-acre farm in Northampton, so I know most of the farmers in the area," Micka said.
Duncan said the menu was designed to be upscale. But although many choices certainly fulfill that criteria, with entrees such as surf and turf and New York strip steak, people can also choose chicken wings, spring rolls, quesadillas, and other items typically served in the Blue Goose.
Micka said people who enter the Grand Ballroom for the first time experience his initial reaction.
Thanks to his vision, today people can make their own memories — and history — in a place deemed worthy of a visit by four American presidents.

Taking stock of Big Oil's pandemic recovery
Ben Geman, author of Axios Generate
Illustration: Aïda Amer/Axios
This week will show how some of the biggest oil-and-gas companies are recovering from the pandemic that's still weighing on demand for their products.
Driving the news: Companies including BP, Shell, Chevron and Exxon will report first-quarter earnings over the next four days.
Why it matters: The latest reports come after a year in which companies reported steep losses and huge write-downs on the value of their assets.
Crude prices have significantly recovered, with the first three months being the strongest by far since the pandemic began.
"[T]he industry has had a shot in the arm from the recovery in crude prices since late 2020, which will be evident in company results for the first time," HSBC analyst Gordon Gray tells The Guardian.
But, but, but: Bloomberg's detailed earnings preview notes that Big Oil's revived cash flow isn't expected to be a bonanza for investors.
"For Exxon Mobil Corp. and Total SE, which bore the financial strain of maintaining shareholder payouts last year, any extra cash will go to easing debt," it reports.
"Chevron Corp. and Royal Dutch Shell Plc have said they want to resume buybacks, but not yet."
Threat level: The path ahead for the sector remains fraught.
Prices have lost ground over the last month, with Brent crude currently around $65 compared to nearly $70 in mid-March.
That's partly due in part to a tragic surge in COVID-19 cases in India, a major oil consumer.

Mysteries in a World That Thinks There Are None
Gary L. McDowell, Western Michigan University
Dr. William Olsen
Dr. Nancy Eimers
Dr. Jon Adams
Dr. Molly Lynde-Recchia
The poems in Mysteries in a World that Thinks There Are None , whether short lyrics, long-lined meditative narratives, mythically inspired prose poems, or multi-page ekphrastic sequences, seek to understand my own life through the stories and lives of others. Examining parenthood, the risk of—and fundamental necessity for—change, and mysteries of the natural world, the poems offer personal epiphanies as filtered through the domestic realities of Eric Fischl's paintings. Whether it's a woman reclining naked on a bed in front of her pick-pocketing young son (Bad Boy) or a teenage boy discovering himself sexually in a wading pool (Sleepwalker ), the people in Fischl's paintings, and thus the speaker in these poems, find mysterious and unsolvable the world around them. For these poems, Fischl's paintings become an alternate world, a parallel world through which the speaker draws sensory and lyrical comparisons between the life he leads and the lives he sees on Fischl's canvases.
A distinct and steady voice fuses together the collection's four sections, which employ ekphrasis among other poetic strategies, including the use of a collage of voices, images, and seemingly unconnected events and language ("The Bed, the Chair..." and "The Travel of Romance"); the starting, stopping, and layering of the stories of others ("This Summer with Fischl" and "The Windows Are Always Open"); and the threading of the personal voice and the public voice that together create a life ("Come Morning" and "Something Predatory"). Though various techniques form the basis for these poems, many of them were also directly inspired by the study of specific poets, including Charles Wright ("Dear Obsessions"), Peter Gizzi ("Your Memoir Is about Me"), and Linda Gregerson ("Mysteries in a World That Thinks There Are None"), not the mention the influence of Walt Whitman's cosmic consciousness.
Mysteries in a World that Thinks There Are None accurately and properly represents the intellectual and creative sojourn I've taken here at Western Michigan University. The many literary theories, works of literature, and teachings I've been privy to here are greatly responsible for shaping these poems.

With Grouplend you can borrow up to $30,000 over a period of 3 years with rates that range from 5.9% - 17.25% APR – this is a much better rate than you will ever get with your credit card!
To be able to receive approval with Grouplend you must be financially responsible, creditworthy and Canadian. You must be at least 19 years of age, a citizen or permanent resident of Canda, have a minimum of 35 of credit history, a minimum gross annual income of $30,000 and a minimum FICO credit score of 690. This criteria is strict and if you do not receive approval it will no doubt be because you do not fit the above criteria. They also use this information to work out your interest rate particularly your credit score, employment information, loan amount requested and other publicly available information.

Trees for the Future is improving the livelihoods of impoverished farmers by revitalizing degraded lands. Since 1989, with our experience in planting over 127 million trees all over the world, we have demonstrated the transformative power of trees in helping people break out of the poverty trap while also addressing the global environment. Today, our work in East and West Africa is helping to build a world where people can leave a legacy of opportunity through sustainable practices and productive lands for future generations.
Your contribution helps families to help themselves. Through planting trees we create educational opportunities for children, empower women and build strong communities. Planting trees helps increase the income of poor farmers and provides permanent and seasonal employment. Planting trees reverses environmental degradation, restores biodiversity and removes megatons and greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.
Forest Garden Program
The Forest Garden Program is a sustainable agriculture practice. The Forest Garden Program is a simple, replicable and scalable approach with proven success. By planting specific types of trees and crops in a systematic manner over a four year period, families can change their lives forever. Forest Gardens provide families with sustainable food sources, livestock feed, products to sell, fuel wood and up to a 500% increase in their annual income.
Trees For The Future currently has 14 projects underway in five countries in Sub Saharan Africa. Our focus is on the implementation of Forest Garden Programs in Cameroon, Kenya, Senegal, Uganda and Tanzania, as these are areas where we are having the biggest impact and seeing amazing results.

Curses and Charms

1933, July 22: Mr. and Mrs. George Spicer's Loch Ness Encounter
1903, April 2: The Zborowski Family Curse
On April 2, 1903, Count Elliot (or Eliot) Zborowski was killed in his racing car during a competition near Nice, France, when he was "dashed headlong against a stone wall while leading all competitors." He was known to be something of a reckless driver, and his wife and friends had all warned him to be more careful. All agreed the accident was due to his recklessness.
However, along with the announcement of Count Zborowski's death was the interesting 'fact' that his death was in keeping with the terms of a family curse that had lasted four generations.
Count Eliot Zborowski in one of his racing cars, circa 1902 [Larger image here.]
According to the reports (which were printed as early as the day after the Count's death) the curse was placed upon the great-grandfather of Count Eliot Zborowski by an Irish lord who, having been angered, called upon Heaven to prevent any male Zborowski from ever dying in bed. Apparent confirmation of the curse was that not only had Count Elliot died out of bed, but so had his father Martin (who died in a chair), and the Count's other male relatives; another Elliot who was killed by a train, Francis who drowned, and Max who died after a fall from a horse.
Some Confusions
Several reports at the time and later mistakenly referred to Count Elliot Zborowski as the last of his line... but he did in fact have a son, Louis, who was about eight years old when the Count died. More on this in a moment.
Another confusion came from one of the articles reporting about the curse in August, 1903, just four months after the Count's death. The article compared the story of the Zborowski curse to another report about an apparently cursed ring that continued to turn up at the Paris, France, morgue on different corpses [follow the 'See Also' link below for more on that story]. Unfortunately, due to the author's choice of words, the article gives the impression that Count Zborowski was also wearing a cursed ring... and for years after, other articles concerned with curses continued to state that the Count died due to the effects of a cursed ring passed through his family.
Pros and Cons... Was There a Curse?
Though the story of the Zborowski family curse was mostly reported between 1903 and 1911, while Count Elliot's death was still in living memory, for some reason the curse wasn't mentioned when his son Louis also died in a car accident in 1924. Louis had followed in his father's footsteps, and also went into racing; he was well known for building his own race cars, which he rather famously tended to call "Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang" -- which is exactly where Ian Fleming later got the name for his book about a magic racing car recovered from a crash.
Perhaps the curse wasn't mentioned because someone had taken the time to look into it. There are four main problems with the claim for the curse.
First, the family tree. So I dug backwards on Count Elliot's family tree, which wasn't easy. Elliot's father Martin had been born with the family name of Zabriskie, and later both changed his name to Zborowski and (through a combination of inventive family past and bribes) became the first Count Zborowski. So most of Count Elliot's male ancestors had a different last name.
Count Elliot had two uncles, John Zabriskie and Christian Zabriskie... and both were killed by trains, which fits the criteria of the curse. But, dig as I might, I could not find any statement of how Elliot's father, Martin, died; nor could I find a cause of death for Elliot's grandfather -- Andrew -- or great-grandfather -- Christian.
What I did find was that the details of the reports that claimed Count Elliot had male relatives named Elliot, Francis, and Max who died by train, drowning, and falling off a horse are only mentioned in the reports on the curse... no one by those names associated with Count Elliot turned up while I was checking his family tree.
Second, Count Elliot didn't have just one child... he had two. Before the birth of Louis in 1895, another son, named Martin, had been born in 1893. The young Martin Zborowski died in the same year; though I could not find details; but it seems likely a baby less than a year old has a very good chance of dying in bed.
Third, the simple fact that the curse doesn't appear to have been mentioned anytime previous to Count Elliot Zborowski's death in 1903 is a big problem. If the curse really lasted through four generations of the family, I'd expect it to be commented on at previous deaths. Count Elliot's father, Martin, was a millionaire, and news of what his will gave to various people made the news... it's hard to believe something as juicy as a family curse apparently confirmed by his death would fail to be mentioned. So there's a real possibility that the 'curse' was invented upon the death of Count Elliot Zborowski by a creative reporter to describe an apparent pattern to previous deaths in the family of a prominent sportsman.
Lastly, the criteria of the curse -- male members of the family won't die in bed -- is just too general a curse to be taken too seriously. Most people don't die in bed to begin with, so it's not a very hard curse to fulfill!
Given these problems, I'm labeling the curse of the Zborowski family as "Unreliable" until both more can be found about the cause of death of males in the family, and earlier mentions of the curse can be located.

How does one become a member of the electoral college in the first place? Just realized I have no idea how the people who elect our leader are chosen lmao
[–]teh_maxh 249 points250 points251 points 1 month ago (2 children)
Each party nominates a group of electors, generally from party leadership. The party whose candidate wins gets to send their nominees to the state capitol.

So wait.
What is the point of the electoral college?
They only vote how their states voted right?
It's kind of a pointless thing no, the people vote. Why do we need a second person to vote based off the people's vote?
Makes no sense to me.

Im not a US American, but did some courses in Uni on US politics. IIRC during the constitutional convention the electoral college was one means of preventing what I think Elbridge Gerry? described as an "excess of democracy" in the Articles of Confederation.

A new Ebola drug has cured monkeys infected with the virus, US researchers announced.
Experimental drug TKM-Ebola-Guinea targets the Makona strain of the virus, which caused the current deadly outbreak in West Africa.
All three monkeys receiving the treatment were healthy when the trial ended after 28 days.
Three untreated monkeys died within nine days.
However, scientists cautioned that the drug's efficacy has not been proven in humans.
Currently there are no treatments or vaccines for Ebola that have been proven to work in humans.
Results from human trials with TKM-Ebola-Guinea are expected in the second half of this year.
Thomas Geisbert said the drug, produced by Tekmira Pharmaceuticals, could be adapted to target any strain of Ebola and could be manufactured in as little as eight weeks.
TKM-Ebola-Guinea works by blocking particular genes, which stops the virus replicating.
The two-month production time compares with the several months needed to make ZMapp – another experimental drug, which cured monkeys with a different strain of Ebola than the one in the current outbreak.
Since March 2014, more than 10,602 people have been reported as having died from the disease in six countries – Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, the US and Mali.
The total number of reported Ebola cases is more than 25,556.

Sponsored by With the rising popularity of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, it is probably only a matter of time before hedge funds begin investing in digital currency, perhaps through exchange-traded funds ETFs. But this may not be the wisest way to try and cash in on the crypto goldrush. A study recently published by Coindesk suggests that the expenses that hedge funds entail will not be in your favour when it comes to investing in cryptocurrency. Coindesk worked out the costs and how much an investor would lose on a $100,000 hedge fund investment which included a 2% annual management expense and 20% share of profits, otherwise knows as the "incentive" fee. The study reads, "the typical management fee is 2 percent on every dollar you invest. Let's say you've found a fund with a solid strategy, and it has a minimum investment of $100,000. This means you would get charged $2,000, meaning you're only 'putting to work' $98,000 in the investment." With all hedge fund investment, a significant fee goes to the fund manager's pockets. It may seem as though $2,000 doesn't sound a lot but in investment terms, it can turn out to be very significant, particularly in a market, like cryptocurrency, where it has been proven there are historical benefits to holding. If the fund you invested in then succeeded in generating a gross return 10%, after management fees, were charged it would be $9,800, and after the 20% fee charged that would mean another $1,960 in fees is lost. In total, this would all work out to $3,960 in fees on an investment through a hedge fund. After all management and incentive fees are charged, an investor would make a $7,840 net return on a $100,000 investment, a 7.84% rate of annual return. Although investing through a hedge fund has benefits in term of time and convenience, they also some come with significant costs. Going it alone may not be for everyone - you should at least know exactly what you are getting into and the slice that will be trimmed off your return when using a hedge fund for investing in the digital currency market.

Day 28: 12 Sep '91 Thursday La Azohia into Andalucía
Slept under mosquito nets for the first time last night. Kept cool, in fact, too cool. Packed away after boiled eggs breakfast stuffed into a roll. Just as we were about to leave, Charlie the Belgian asked if we would like to join him for a cup of coffee. We accepted and wandered into the tent on his caravan. He was very chatty and we talked about Spanish food, whisky, tea, coffee and music. He had been a professional musician before retiring and played the trumpet, double bass and saxophone. Jazz was his forte. Charlie was greying, had a big belly, a strawberry nose and was very friendly. He spoke Flemish primarily, and also French, English, Spanish and German.
Time was pressing because we had to leave the site by midday so we thanked him, said our goodbyes and left, paying on the way out. Charlie turned out to be a very nice chap. When we first arrived, we thought he was a bit odd and maybe a hermit! But he was not like that at all.
Off we went to Mazarrón, the bikes feeling brand new after their servicing. The gears were sliding into place with ease, gliding along with a new lease of life. We stopped briefly in Mazarron for money and supplies then stopped a few kilometres along the road towards Águilas. Both of us felt very giddy and thought it must have been the coffee Charlie had given us. After a good lunch, we came to bottom of a long, narrow valley. Hard work! That hill went on and on, with my legs feeling like lead and my lungs the size of golf balls.
After the long sweat to the top, we cruised all the way down into Águilas, stopping for a coke only. Aguilas was an awful place and we left soon after buying supper. We carried on along the coast towards Vera, coming into Andalucía, at last.
We did not like the look of any of the campsites but we found what looked like an excellent place further along. It was an area that had been bulldozed for houses but had nothing on it. At the far end, there was a hedge about 15 feet wide with a few small saplings on which to hook our nets.
We got supper going but, half way through, Dan noticed tow blokes looking very suspicious below us near the sea. They noticed us and left. I went to see what they had been looking at and, on turning around, saw a car, which Dan had indicated. It was on the beach below the bikes with its lights on (It was now dusk). It drove up a ramp, stopped, switched its lights off for 30 seconds and then started off again.
That was it. We thought that was quite enough. (The reality was probably more like these two men were perhaps gay and looking for a private spot for some sex, whereas we thought they might be drug runners.) We packed and left. Back on the road again! No lights apart from Dan's torch. We had to keep getting off the road as cars came up behind us. Eventually, we saw a sign for a camp site. But, the signs did not tie up and it turned out to be a 'wild goose chase'.
We ended up back on the main road and Dan spotted a camp site. We went in. No one about. Not even campers. There was a brightly lit, modern hotel at the far end of the site, near the beach. So, we piled into the area, set up our nets, cleaned our teeth and got into our beds. It was hot, sticky and we were sweating hard after our extra kilometres. I woke up a few times with previous mosquito bites irritating me. What a mad world.

La Tracia (in greco antico: Θρᾴκη Thràkē, in latino: Thracia) è una regione storica, posta nell'estrema punta sudorientale della penisola balcanica. Rispetto ai confini odierni, comprende il nordest della Grecia, il sud della Bulgaria e la Turchia europea.

I suoi confini sono cambiati nel tempo: secondo i confini stabiliti in seguito alla prima guerra mondiale, i monti Rodopi separano la Tracia greca da quella bulgara, e il fiume Evros (Maritza) separa la Tracia orientale (in Turchia) dalla Tracia occidentale (Grecia). Qui in Tracia i Visigoti si impegnarono a difendere il limes dell'impero Romano.

Storia

La Tracia storica si estendeva ad est della Macedonia verso il Mar Nero e il mar di Marmara, e a sud del Danubio verso il mar Egeo. Il confine tra Macedonia e Tracia corrispondeva praticamente con il corso del fiume Strimone, in greco Στρυμών (Strymōn), famoso per le miniere d'oro della sua foce (miniere d'oro del Pangeo), presso la città di Anfipoli.

Il popolo indoeuropeo dei Traci ha lasciato qualche traccia scritta e archeologica: in Bulgaria si contano circa  tombe che vengono attribuite alla cultura trace a partire dal IV millennio a.C., ed è dalla Tracia che sono arrivate nella mitologia greca, ad esempio, le figure di Dioniso, Orfeo, Cibele, Reso.

La regione è nota anche per essere la terra natale di Spartaco, autore di una delle più importanti rivolte di schiavi nella storia di Roma.

Il territorio trace fu oggetto nei secoli di molteplici scorrerie, invasioni, colonizzazioni:

 Celti della Grande spedizione del 279 a.C: dal 279 a.C. al 212 a.C. (transitati anche in Asia minore, con il nome di Galati, a costituire l'omonimo regno);
 nel 47 l'imperatore Claudio la eresse a provincia romana, sulla base di accordi conclusi con i re locali: nacque così la provincia romana di Tracia;
 Slavi nel VI secolo;
 a partire dal 679, i Bulgari inglobarono la Tracia nel loro impero ed assimilarono la lingua degli slavi arrivati nel secolo precedente;
 dal 1018 ritornò sotto il dominio di Bisanzio;
 alla fine del XIV secolo cominciò il dominio ottomano.
La dissoluzione dell'Impero ottomano disarticolò il territorio che ricade ora sotto la giurisdizione degli attuali stati nazionali di Turchia, Grecia e Bulgaria.
