On behalf of Isenberg & Hewitt, PC posted in Negligent Maintenance on Tuesday, July 19, 2016.
In some cases, Georgia residents who are injured while at their own rented homes may be able to sue their landlords. The owner of a property has a legal duty to make sure that their property is kept up in a safe condition. Owners and managers are also responsible for warning residents of any potential dangers on a property and repairing unsafe conditions that are discovered.
If a renter is injured because of the negligence of a property owner, the renter may file a premises liability claim against the owner. The renter must be able to prove that the property owner was either aware of the dangerous condition or should have been aware of a dangerous condition and failed to provide a remedy.
A woman in San Francisco was recently injured due to a dangerous condition at the apartment that she had just started renting. While taking the garbage out at night, the woman tripped over a curb near the dumpster and broker her ankle. The landlord may be liable for her injury because the overhead light near the dumpster had gone out, creating a dangerous condition. The curb may also have been a dangerous condition depending on how large it was and whether it was uneven or broken.
A person who has been injured on a rented property may want to talk to a lawyer about their situation. A lawyer might be able to examine the details of the accident in order to determine if a property owner's negligence caused the accident. If the property owner is liable for a renter's injuries, a lawyer may help the renter to file a premises liability claim.

ONE DECADE OF THE BIENNALE JOGJA EQUATOR
Commencing Biennale Jogja Equator Series in 2011, the series eventually reached its 10 year organization in 2021. A decade is a relatively long period of time that provides abundant lessons through different encounters and journeys taken by Yayasan Biennale Yogyakarta (YBY) in six editions of Biennale, starting from India, Arab regions, Nigeria, Brazil, Southeast Asia, and Oceania. Through examinations and interpretations of those encounters, the commissioned researchers tried to learn how the equatorial countries have specific histories and cultures as part of the world's diverse culture. Moreover, YBY also built cooperation with partnering countries straddling the equator, to expand investigations and conversations on diverse aspects of life and socio-political contexts, including natural landscapes, climate, or development of democracy.
Archive Exhibition Biennale Jogja Equator is designed to connect the formerly seemed separated narratives of each episode of Biennale Jogja Equator Series in order to present them in a more coherent mode. Exhibiting archives also means presenting post-event stories which were barely made public during the actual exhibitions' organization. This is meant to help the audience comprehend how the ideas are continuously nurtured even outside the exhibition period. A number of archives being re-exhibited went through some modifications pertaining to two keywords, namely 'medium conversion' and 'playground'.
In addition to presenting visually-engineered archives and documents, the exhibition gives emphasis on the speculative method of reading history, considering that there is direct connection between the past and the future. Program curators invited a number of artists with different backgrounds to create artworks related to a broad spectrum of the exhibition theme, including examination and re-definition of the notion of maps and of speech scripts, imagination on borders and migration, or a fictitious world in virtual realm. By employing the idea of playground, we would like to see this exhibition as a platform to demonstrate the mimicry and simulation of power contestation in the world today—between the north and the south, the local and the global, the traditional and the modern—in a joyous and lively atmosphere, which is also the typical characteristic and vibe of the southern communities.

Important Note: there is a tomb like structure seen in the video (don't know what it is) and it is not of prophet muhammed (saws). Actually the grave of Rasoolullah (saws) and Abu Bakr and Umar (may ALLAH be pleased with them all) is enclosed completely without even a window or a door in a double enclosed wall (Sealed off completely from all sides). No man has ever seen the the actual grave of them since the first islamic centuary since it was when the enclosure was completely sealed off, except for a few in the eight islamic centuary when the wall was broken but immediately repaired. Therein No was was fortunate enough to see the grave of Rasoolullah (saws).
What we can see in this video is the area surrounding the enclosed walls of the Scared Chamber covered with weave made of pure silk, green in color. Also there are lamps hanging from the chamber ceiling, which were old gifts that would be given to the Mosque of the Prophet in ancient times.
(saws). Overall ALLAH knows the best.


On the Hackernoon site today Sebastian De Deyne has written up a tutorial showing you how to use Watchman to automatically run PHPUnit tests for your application when things change. Watchman is a tool from Facebook that watches files and directories for updates and execute actions based on the changes.
Watchman watches files and triggers actions when they change. The reasoning behing choosing Watchman: it's easy to install, simple to configure, and reliable.
The watchman-make command - which ships with Watchman - is a specialised interface for Watchman to invoke build tools in response to file changes - exactly what we need!
In the setup he creates, Watchman is used to look for changes on files in either the project's src/ or tests/ directories and execute a bash script (code provided) that runs the tests and outputs the results. He walks through each line of the script and Watchman command, explaining how it works and what the option points to. You can see the results here of an edit to a test and the output in a Terminal window once it's saved.

The SSR has been around for decades, and there is a reason why – it's simply a classic, dependable and very functional all –around "mud terrain" type radial tire that lives up to its Super Swamper TSL family designation. The Super Swamper TSL / SSR Series tire is a radial tire infused with the DNA of the best off-road tire ever made - the Super Swamper TSL. The SSR is an extremely good, light truck tire that can tackle the toughest mud, slickest rocks and slushy gunk, but is also easily capable of getting your daily driver, family pavement pounder smoothly around town too.
The SSR builds on the tried and true, proven over and over, Super Swampers TSLs tread pattern that Interco built its name on. The SSR tread design adds sipes to the center Super Swampers Chevron tread pattern that does allow the SSR to grip better on the rocks, but also grip the road better when wet and icy - conditions than typical mud terrain tires would not fare well in. Those newly siped center lugs also incorporate a "stepped" design that allows better release of mud and debris which promotes better self-cleaning as the wheel rotates around for another bite of whatever it is you're propelling through.
The SSR retains Interco's patented three stage lug design that has proven to be very impressive in the mud, on the rocks, in deep snow, on loose grainy terrain and on changing wooded trails. The lugs then wrap around to the sidewalls that are protected by a supplemental tread design that not only servers to reduce sidewall damage but also assists with finding grip in mud or across rocks.
The SSR is a radial tire, so on road handling is better than you might expect and it will not "flat spot" as a bias ply would on those cool nights after sitting still for a while. SSR's are available in up to a 38" with ply ratings of 6, 8, or 10 depending on the size and model.

Telecinco 2 fue un canal de televisión abierta español operado por Gestevisión Telecinco (actualmente Mediaset España). El 18 de mayo de 2009 Telecinco 2 finalizó sus emisiones para dar paso a La Siete.

Historia
Telecinco 2 inició sus emisiones el 18 de febrero de 2008, tras una reestructuración de la oferta de TDT de Gestevisión Telecinco. Telecinco 2 sustituyó a Telecinco Sport y FDF Telecinco a Telecinco Estrellas.

En los inicios se mantuvieron en emisión los boletines informativos de Eurosport, las repeticiones de la Fórmula 1, así como los directos de las Superbikes heredados de Telecinco Sport, y se añadieron a la programación repeticiones de los informativos de la cadena madre, así como contenidos solidarios de ONG como Greenpeace, Amnistía Internacional o Acnur.

En septiembre de 2008, la parrilla de Telecinco 2 incluyó reposiciones de los resúmenes de Gran Hermano 10, así como conexiones a su canal 24 horas, así como reposiciones de programas emitidos en la cadena principal, en horario de Prime Time, en días posteriores a su emisión, reduciéndose considerablemente los boletines de Eurosport.

En diciembre de 2008 el grupo Telecinco firmó un acuerdo de colaboración con Turner Broadcasting System para la emisión de varias series infantiles de la productora norteamericana en su canal, tales como Las Supernenas, Johnny Bravo, Ed, Edd y Eddy, El laboratorio de Dexter, Mucha Lucha o Tazmania en Telecinco los fines de semana, y en Telecinco 2 en horario de mañana y tarde durante toda la semana. Poco después, estas series pasaron a estar incluidas en el contenedor Boing. Con el tiempo ese contenedor pasó a Factoría de Ficción, por lo que el segundo canal de Telecinco pasó a emitir resúmenes de Gran Hermano, Operación Triunfo y Supervivientes.

El 18 de mayo de 2009 Telecinco 2 cambió su nombre por el de LaSiete, en una acción de posicionamiento en el dial de la TDT, como ya hizo Veo TV con el 7, o el Grupo Antena 3 (actualmente Atresmedia) con Neox y Nova posicionándolos en el 8 y el 9.

Our glass is half full. Are we pouring or drinking? How do we continually adapt in an era of accelerated change when technology, competition, consumer expectations, economic and political uncertainty and climate change challenge us?
This past year reminded us of how resilient our people and our industry are, as a number of the region's destinations and hotels bounced back from unparalleled destruction in 2017, rebuilding smarter, better and sometimes bigger. We got a peek into the future as over 5,000 new hotels rooms came online regionally in 2018 with over 25,000 more in the construction and planning stages. Existing hotels continue to invest in refurbishments and introducing new services and amenities. We witnessed an unprecedented surge in new airlift into the region, presenting more opportunities to entice travelers to our shores. Investor and government confidence in Caribbean tourism's future was further buoyed as hundreds of millions of dollars were spent on upgraded and expanded airport facilities.

The Divide Grows
Bill Roggio is back in Iraq on his latest embed tour, and his first post is already up. Read it, and you'll note a recurring theme: military personnel in Iraq are fed up with press coverage of the war. To a person, they note the media's failure to report any progress in the conflict, and the deliberate distortion of official reports, ranging from David Kay's assessment of Iraqi WMD, to the recent Marine intelligence assessment of the situation in Al-Anbar Province.
If you've ever wondered what the military and defense contractors think of the "press," Mr. Roggio sums it up rather nicely:
"In nearly every conversation, the soldiers, Marines and contractors expressed they were upset with the coverage of the war in Iraq in general, and the public perception of the daily situation on the ground. The felt the media was there to sensationalize the news, and several stated some reporters were only interested in "blood and guts." They freely admitted the obstacles in front of them in Iraq. Most recognized that while we are winning the war on the battlefield, albeit with difficulties in some areas, we are losing the information war. They felt the media had abandoned them."
Roggio also relates a vignette from Landing Zone (LZ) Washington, inside Baghdad's Green Zone. Waiting for a flight to Fallujah, Roggio observed two sergeants watching President Bush announce that there would be no "graceful exit" from Iraq, and that we would stay until the job is finished. According to Mr. Roggio, the two NCOs cheered loudly at the president's announcement. Then, he says, they scoffed at a CNN report from Iraq and jeered at the "balcony" reporting that ended the segment.
Come to think of it, when's the last time you saw an American TV reporter do a "stand up" from a U.S. military post in Iraq, or with American troops in the field? Not recently (at least in my memory) and embed totals from the theater tend to confirm that assessment. A couple of months ago, there were a total of nine journalists embedded with U.S. units in Iraq, and many of those were from publications that specialize in military matters--not MSM outlets.
From what I can gather, many MSM reporters in Iraq rely on Iraqi stringers, and file their reports from the relative comfort (and safety) of their hotels. This technique has resulted in recent stories that were woefully incorrect (at best) and outright lies, at worst. Needless to
say, media fabrications describing the "burning" of Sunni mosques and worshippers (from the Associated Press) and accounts of phony airstrikes (courtesy of the LA Times) will only deepen the divide between journalists and the military. In fact, the animus between soldiers and scribblers is so bad that Bill Roggio says he tries to hide his press badge "whenever I can get away with it." And Roggio is one of new breed of independent reporters/bloggers who is genuinely respected in military circles. We can only imagine what the troops think of the local rep from The New York Times.
John F. Opie said...
And the sad thing is that when the backlash comes - and it will, when this generation of troops leaves the military and some of them enter politics - the press (in the broadest sense of that word) will have only itself to blame.
It's not so much the ignorance and stupidity of the press, but much much more the willfull ignorance and deliberate stupidity.
And that's a shame: when the press fails, it diminishes us all.
But then again, that may well be the whole point.

Summary Severe growth retardation of cattle early in life is associated with reduced growth potential, resulting in smaller animals at any given age. Growth potential diminishes as age of onset of nutritional restriction declines, and severe, prolonged intra–uterine growth retardation may result in slower growth of cattle throughout life. Severe weight loss during the months immediately after weaning or slow growth after early– weaning also limits compensatory growth. Carcass composition of small and large newborns is similar at heavier market weights. At equivalent weights, calves grown slowly to weaning subsequently have carcasses of similar or leaner composition than those grown rapidly, unless high energy concentrate feed is provided post–weaning, causing increased fatness. Adverse effects of early–life growth on eating quality at market weights are not evident. When differences occur, they suggest that cattle restricted early in life may have slightly more tender meat. We propose that within pasture–based systems, plasticity of carcass tissues, particularly muscle which maintains a stem cell population, allows cattle growth–retarded early in life to attain normal composition at equivalent weights in the long–term, albeit at older ages. However, nutrition during recovery or following early–weaning is important in determining the subsequent composition of young, light–weight cattle relative to heavier counterparts. Keywords: cattle, foetus, placenta, birth weight, growth, weaning, nutrition
Introduction In Australia, growth of cattle to market weights is typically a prolonged process subject to short– and long–term environmental variation. Most notably, cattle experience variable nutrition due to climatic extremes. Growth of the bovine foetus has well–studied consequences for survival, and can be slowed during the latter half of gestation by restricted nutrition and/or inadequate placental development. Similarly,
influences of pre–weaning nutrition on growth to market weights of cattle are well–characterised. However, consequences of foetal calf growth for subsequent growth and of foetal and neonatal calf growth for carcass characteristics of cattle are less well understood. This review focuses on research into consequences of cattle nutrition and growth early in life for subsequent growth and carcass composition of cattle and eating quality of beef. It includes initial findings from our recent studies on consequences of growth during pregnancy and to weaning of cattle sired by genotypes with extreme propensities for muscle and intramuscular fat development. Growth and nutrition of the bovine foetus and factors affecting it are also briefly discussed and, where instructive, results for sheep are also presented, as development has been extensively studied in this ruminant species.
Normal bovine conceptus growth and metabolism It is important to recognise that, unlike postnatal growth in which energy and nutrient availability influence growth and body composition of cattle directly, environmental influences on foetal growth and development, and hence birth characteristics, are regulated via the dam and the placenta, the nutritional conduit between dam and foetus. Most growth of the bovine foetus occurs during late gestation (Winters et al. 1942; Lyne 1960; Ferrell et al. 1976; Prior and Laster 1979). Foetal growth follows a flattened sigmoid pattern during the latter half of gestation as it proceeds from an early exponential phase through a rapid, linear phase, and then begins to diminish as term approaches (Greenwood and Bell 2003a, 2003b). Foetal nutrient uptake becomes a quantitatively important contributor to maternal nutrient requirements only after mid–gestation (Ferrell et al. 1983). Unlike the sheep, in which the placenta attains most of its mass of dry tissue, protein and DNA by mid–gestation (Ehrhardt

Greenwood et al.
and Bell 1995), the bovine placenta normally continues to increase in weight until near term (Prior and Laster 1979; Ferrell 1989). As a result, it has been suggested that placental growth may be less sensitive to nutritional deficiencies in cattle than in sheep. Placental weight and birth weight are highly correlated in cattle (Anthony et al. 1986b; Echternkamp 1993; Zhang et al. 1999), and the functional capacity of the placenta is closely related to placental perfusion. Bovine uterine and umbilical blood flow increases exponentially during the second half of gestation, which equates to relatively constant rates of umbilical blood flow on a foetal weight–specific basis during this period (Reynolds et al. 1986). Detailed accounts of placental function and metabolism are provided by Ferrell (1989) and Bell et al. (2005). Foetal mass increases many–fold from mid to late gestation and this increase is accompanied by increased rates of uterine and umbilical uptake of oxygen and nutrients, of urea export by conceptus tissues, and of foetal whole–body protein synthesis in cattle and sheep (Bell et al. 1986; Reynolds et al. 1986; Kennaugh et al. 1987; Bell et al. 1989; Ferrell 1991b). During late pregnancy in both of these species, 35–40% of foetal energy is taken up as glucose and its foetal–placental metabolite lactate, and a further 55% is taken up as free amino acids. In contrast to its importance as an energy source in the maternal ruminant, umbilical uptake of acetate is estimated to account for only 5–10% of foetal energy consumption. About 60% of amino acids are used for tissue protein synthesis, which accounts for approximately 18% of foetal energy expenditure (Kennaugh et al. 1987). The remaining 40% of amino acids are rapidly catabolised, accounting for at least 30% of the oxidative requirements in the well–nourished sheep foetus (Faichney and White 1987) or, in the case of glutamine and serine, are taken up and metabolized by the placenta (Battaglia and Regnault 2001).
Intrauterine growth retardation Maternal nutrition In cattle, severe nutritional restriction for at least the last half to one–third of pregnancy is usually required to reduce foetal growth. Significant reductions in birth weight were caused by prolonged underfeeding of heifers from weaning until parturition (Wiltbank et al. 1965), and underfeeding of heifers and cows during the second and third trimesters (Ryley and Gartner 1962; Hodge and Rowan 1970; Freetly et al. 2000; Hennessy et al. 2002) or during late pregnancy only (Hight, 1966; Tudor 1972; Bellows and Short 1978; Kroker and Cummins 1979). The effect of nutritional restriction on birth weight was more pronounced in heifers than cows when the period of restriction encompassed mid and late gestation (Hennessy et al. 2002) rather than late gestation only (Tudor 1972). However, birth weight was not significantly affected by nutritional restriction from mating to 140 days of gestation in heifers (Cooper et al.
1998), during the final 12 weeks of pregnancy (Hodge et al. 1976) in heifers or during the second trimester in mature cows (Freetly et al. 2000). Foetal growth capacity can interact with available nutrition in determining the extent to which foetal growth is retarded. Birth weight of calves of Hereford dams sired by double–muscled Piedmontese bulls was more affected by restricted nutrition during mid and late pregnancy than those sired by Wagyu bulls, and birth weight of male calves was affected more than that of female calves (Hennessy et al. 2002). When assessed within parity and sire–breed, nutritional restriction resulted in reduced birth weights of Piedmontese–sired calves from heifers and cows, but only of Wagyu–sired calves from heifers. Effects of foetal growth potential, or foetal nutrient demand, on the nutritional reserves of pregnant cows were also evident (Greenwood et al. 2002b). Dams mobilised more muscle to support growth of male than female foetuses and tended to mobilise more muscle to support growth of Piedmontese– than Wagyu–sired foetuses; while heifers mobilised less fat and muscle to support foetal growth than cows. During the final one–half to one–third of pregnancy, feed energy available to the dam appears to have more influence on birth weight than the availability of protein, although results are variable (Holland and Odde 1992). Variation in feed energy available to the dam during this period can result in differences in birth weight ranging from 0–8.2 kg (Dunn et al. 1969; Tudor 1972; Laster 1974; Corah et al. 1975; Bellows and Short 1978; Kroker and Cummins 1979; Bellows et al. 1982). Variable dietary protein supply during the third trimester may (Bellows et al.1978) or may not (Anthony et al. 1986a; Holland and Odde 1987) alter birth weight of calves, and restricted or supplemental dietary protein during early or mid pregnancy had little effect on birth weights (Perry et al. 1999, 2002). However, chronic restriction of energy supply to heifers from weaning until parturition resulted in birth weight differences of up to 10 kg and chronic restriction of protein supply over this period resulted in birth weight differences of up to 7.3 kg (Wiltbank et al. 1965). Placental weight and birth weight are highly correlated in cattle. However, because the bovine placenta may continue to increase in mass until near term, it is not clear whether the placenta regulates bovine foetal growth to the same extent as it does in sheep (Ferrell 1989). Placental characteristics may be altered by nutrition during early and mid pregnancy without significantly affecting foetal size (Rasby et al. 1990), and protein supplementation of cows during early or mid pregnancy may also alter placental characteristics without necessarily affecting birth weight (Perry et al.1999, 2002). Because development and growth of vital organs precedes development of bone, muscle and fat (Palsson 1955), respectively, the mass of the late maturing carcass tissues are generally considered more susceptible to the effects of nutrition during late pregnancy when it

impacts most on foetal growth. However, more subtle effects on organ and tissue development due to nutrition during early pregnancy may occur, with potential for long term consequences for health, as shown in sheep (Greenwood and Bell 2003a, 2003b; Bell et al. 2005).
Thermal environment Foetal growth in cattle can be restricted (18% lower foetal weight) by chronic heat stress of pregnant cows, and provision of shade resulted in a 3.1 kg increase in birth weight (Collier et al. 1982). Severe cold stress of cattle may also reduce foetal growth if inadequate nutrition is provided to meet metabolic requirements additional to foetal requirements for growth and development (Andreoli et al. 1988), but more moderate cold stress of sheep ewes in late gestation increased birth weight by 15% (Thompson et al. 1982). It is believed that temperature regulates blood flow to the periphery and lungs in order to preserve or dissipate body heat, resulting in increased or decreased blood flow and nutrient supply to the gravid uterus (Reynolds et al. 1985). In the sheep, chronic heat stress during early to mid gestation restricts placental development, thus imposing a limitation on subsequent foetal growth irrespective of nutrition later in pregnancy (Bell et al. 1987).
Parity Heifers give birth to smaller calves than cows (Holland and Odde 1992) because the size and nutritional requirements for growth of heifers limit nutrient availability for placental and foetal growth. Severe maternal nutritional restriction impacts more on birth weight of calves of heifers than of cows, particularly among male calves and those of sires with inherently high birth–weight offspring (Hennessy et al. 2002). In adolescent sheep fed to attain excessive fatness prior to and during gestation, placental and foetal growth and birth weight are reduced (Wallace et al. 1996, 1999).
Litter size Twin calves are rare in cattle unless exogenous regulation of ovarian function or embryo transfer is practiced. Individuals within litters have reduced foetal growth compared to singletons due to a reduced number of placentomes and mass of placenta per foetus (Hafez and Rajakoski 1964; Greenwood et al. 2000b) and because of greater total nutrient requirements of the litter. On average, twin calves are 7.4–9.8 kg lighter than singletons (Gregory et al. 1990, 1996; de Rose and Wilton 1991; Cummins 1994; Wilkins et al. 1994). Restricted nutrition limits foetal growth earlier and more severely in twins or higher multiples than in singletons, although stocking rates of pregnant cows fed pasture did not significantly influence twin birth weights (Wilkins et al. 1994).
Foetal and maternal genotype Foetal genotype is most important in determining foetal growth during early and mid pregnancy, whereas maternal genotype is more important in determining foetal growth during late pregnancy when most foetal growth normally occurs and foetal growth is increasingly subject to external influences mediated via the dam. The effect of foetal and maternal genotype on foetal growth was most convincingly demonstrated in cattle by Ferrell (1991a), who implanted Charolais (heavier birth weight) or Brahman (lighter birth weight) embryos into Charolais and Brahman cows. At 232 days of pregnancy, each foetal genotype was similar in size, irrespective of dam breed. However, by 274 days of gestation, Charolais foetuses in Brahman cows were 7 kg lighter than those in Charolais cows. In contrast, Brahman foetuses in Charolais cows were only 2 kg heavier than those in Brahman cows. Similar results were obtained by Joubert and Hammond (1958) for birth weights for South Devon and Dexter cattle and their reciprocal crosses.
Growth and development from birth to weaning Calves undergo a transition at birth from a diet comprising primarily glucose and amino acids to one which is quantitatively greater and is proportionately higher in fat. This is associated with maturation of the digestive, metabolic and endocrine systems. Evidence in sheep suggests severely growth–retarded newborns are immature with respect to energy metabolism and have more foetal–like metabolism than their well–grown counterparts (Rhoads et al. 2000a,b; Greenwood et al. 2002a). The major nutritional factors affecting pre– weaning calf growth and composition at weaning are lactational performance of the dam and quality and availability of nutrients from pasture and/or supplementation prior to and following parturition. Most notably, maternal genotype, age, parity, body condition and liveweight interact with calf growth capacity and milk consumption capacity to influence lactational output. Calves become increasingly dependent on forage–based diets, which result in the production of volatile fatty acids that stimulate development and maturation of the rumen (Warner and Flatt 1965). Early weaning is practiced primarily to allow the dam to recover body condition to maximise reproductive rates, particularly in harsher nutritional environments, or in high output or accelerated finishing systems. Successful weaning at a very young age requires adequate growth and rumen development by weaning, and usually involves access by young cattle of low liveweight to a high protein, high energy concentrate supplement prior to, during and after weaning because
they have a higher requirement for protein relative to energy than their heavier counterparts (Leibholz 1971a,b).
Long–term consequences of altered growth during early life of cattle Consequences of foetal growth and nutrition Our recent studies have demonstrated that foetal growth restriction resulting in 10.2 kg or 26% lower birth weight (Table 1) may limit the capacity of cattle to exhibit compensatory growth. Cattle significantly growth–retarded during foetal life due to severely restricted maternal nutrition from day 80–90 of pregnancy until parturition remained smaller at any given postnatal age compared to their well–grown or better nourished counterparts (Table 1). Whether this represents a permanent stunting or simply a delay of attainment of mature size of cattle is open to conjecture. Growth of low birth weight cattle was significantly slower than that of high birth weight cattle at all stages of postnatal growth, although pre–weaning growth was likely to have been influenced by maternal nutritional status during pregnancy. Low birth–weight male calves reared rapidly to weaning grew faster than their high birth–weight counterparts during artificial rearing, whereas the opposite occurred for female calves (Tudor and O'Rourke 1980). Calves that had birth weights 5.4 kg and 5.9 kg lower than those from cows well–nourished during late pregnancy were 16.5 kg and 17.2 kg lighter at weaning (Hight 1966, 1968a). However, it should be noted that, in assessing influences of foetal development on postnatal performance, it is not possible to fully separate out consequences of nutrition during pregnancy on the foetus when offspring remain with their dams to weaning because of carry–over effects on
maternal performance (see Greenwood et al. 1998 for an example of a rearing system designed to uncouple prenatal and postnatal influences).Despite this, the net effects of maternal nutrition during pregnancy on the calf remain of practical significance to livestock producers. In this regard, differences in weight of calves at birth following three levels of maternal nutrition during late–pregnancy disappeared by weaning when postnatal nutrition was of high quality and availability, although residual effects of the previous year's nutrition did influence calf growth (Hight 1968b). Similarly, effects of variable nutrition during mid and/or late pregnancy on weight at birth were overcome by adequate nutrition postpartum, resulting in no differences in body weight at 58 days of age (Freetly et al. 2000). Twin cattle are lighter at birth and grow more slowly until weaning when they remain with their dams (Hennessy and Wilkins 1997). Compared to singletons post–weaning, they may grow more slowly (Gregory et al. 1996), at a similar rate (de Rose and Wilton 1991), or more rapidly (Wilkins et al. 1994; Clarke et al. 1994; Hennessy and Wilkins 1997), depending upon the rearing system and subsequent nutritional regimen. However, twin cattle tended to consume less feed in the feedlot than singletons, mainly because of their lower liveweights (de Rose and Wilton 1991). Few studies examined the long–term consequences of foetal nutrition and growth for body and carcass characteristics in cattle (Tudor et al. 1980) prior our recent studies (Cafe et al. 2004a,b,c; Greenwood et al. 2004; Hearnshaw et al. 2004), but there have been an increasing number of studies with sheep (Villette and Theriez 1981; Nordby et al. 1987; Greenwood et al. 1998; Krausgrill et al. 1999; Oliver et al. 2001; Gopalakrishnan et al. 2004; Paganoni et al. 2004a,b), and there is increasing interest in the influence of maternal nutritional restriction or stress during foetal development on health during adult life (Greenwood and Bell 2003a,b; Bell et al. 2005).

Doing iTunes or podcast SEO is just as important as taking care of your website's search engine optimization for Google results. The difference is that you are optimizing your podcast to rank higher in iTunes search results.
The reason is that people search for problem solutions in iTunes just like they do in Google, and since you are going to be on this platform you might want to optimize your show for the best possible results don't you think?
Borja: We're taking it solo today to talk about Podcast SEO: Episode 16. Let's do it!
Welcome to the Money Diver Podcast. I am Borja Obeso, and week I bring you step-by-step actionable online marketing strategies that you can implement in your business to see the results fast. So let the diving begin.
Hey, what's up, Divers? Welcome back to the show. As always, thank you so much for being here. We are taking it solo today because I've noticed a recent increase in the Money Diver audience and the Divers community of podcasters. And so for that reason, I wanted to create a podcast episode on SEO, on iTunes SEO and how to get your podcast to rank at the top of iTunes for the keywords on the key terms or search terms that you want to be ranking for. Now, if you haven't created a podcast, because I'm assuming that if you're listening today that you are, you have already created a podcast and are ready to launch or you have just launch. But if you haven't, I recommend that you got to PodcastingTutorial.com. That is Pat Flynn's free guide or free tutorial on how to create a podcast and get it ready to be launched on iTunes.
After you have that, you come over and learn all of these SEO tips. Now, you heard from Pat Flynn on Episode 2, so you know that you're getting value from that guide as well. It's extremely detailed and helpful. It has helped me a lot and a lot of other people as well. So the very first thing that a I recommedn that you do for your podcast SEO is figure out the terms that you want to be ranking for on iTunes because iTunes is a search engine just like Google. People search for problems, solutions on iTunes just like they do on Google. So you want to figure out what are those things, those words or terms that people are searching for on iTunes.
And the reason is specific to for iTunes, but you can use the Keyword Planner Tool by Google, which tells you what keywords and what search terms people are using on Google. And you can, because of that, you can figure out if, I mean, it's very likely that if people are searching for those words on Google, they will also be searching for those words on iTunes. So just type in "Google keyword planner," log into your AdWords account. If you don't have an AdWords account, you can create it for free. It's very simple, just as with any other Google type of account – Gmail, YouTube, et cetera – and go this keyword planner, search for terms that are related to your podcast, of course, and figure out what are some terms that have a lot of searches every month. Go forward to top searches. Don't be afraid of the competition of Google because it's not going to be the same on iTunes.
Just, you know, get a list of five to seven keywords that you want to be targeting. Write them down and then you are going to start implementing those keywords in all of the place that I'm going to be telling you right now. After you have a couple words, keywords, that you think are worthy, head on over to iTunes and search for those words to take a look at your competition to see if they're, they are implementing these keywords. Take a look at how popular are these podcasts are. Take a look if they are implementing those keywords in their podcast title, in their author name, in their description. If they have those keywords in each of the episodes – not on each of the episodes, but in some of the episodes that have, they have published.
Now, after you listen to this whole episode, use each of these ranking factors or tips that I'm going to give you to see if your competitors are implementing them because chances are they're not going to be implementing all of them and you can use that as a reference to decide how tough the competition is going to be. After you decide what words you're going to be targeting, you want to download the PowerPress plug-in for WordPress. It is free. It is completely free to use. You can search for it on the WordPress repository of plug-ins. I use it; that's why I recommend it. And that podcasting tutorial, I just recommend it. It's also going to be good for figuring out and learning how to set up PowerPress, which is very simple. You can also search for it on Google. There's going to be a ton of resources and guides on how to set up PowerPress.
Now, once you have steps one and two out of the way, you're going to want to start implementing and including these words in the following places. The first place that you want to include these words is in your title, in the title, on the name of your podcast. Now, of course, you don't have to name your podcast as your keyword, but you can do something like I do, like the "The Money Diver Podcast: An Online Marketing Podcast about Getting Traffic and Building Businesses Online," et cetera. I include all of that small description on the title of my podcast. And you should do the same thing on your author name and of course in your description. And the way you can do it in your author name is something like, "Borja Obeso talks how to make the ultimate pizza, how to create an excellent pasta," assuming if my podcast was about creating pizza and pasta. I don't know why I'm talking about food so much. Actually, I do. I'm starving right now. I want to eat a pizza.
So yeah. Like I was saying, make sure you include those keywords in your title name, in your author name. Feel free to take a look at how I do it. Search for "The Money Diver Podcast" and take a look at how I include those words very elegantly in my title tags, my name, and my description. The way you can do it – and you should do it in your description – is make sure that you're not over-optimizing it, even though I think I might be over-optimizing mine. But try to make it very organic. Remember that you're talking to people, not just machines. Not just search engines and algorithms. So try to make it very natural in the way you include those terms, those keyword descriptions. However you want to call that. Also, when you are publishing every episode, if you're using the PowerPress plug-in like I'm recommending you do, you have the, they give you the option to include a subtitle.
Now, I have no idea where this subtitle appears. I haven't found it. But if they're giving you the option, it's because it's used somewhere on the Internet – I don't know where – and they say it's for SEO as well. So for every episode, try to create a subtitle about what that episode is about. And that's going to give you more options to include more words obviously about what their specific episode is covering. Now, moving forward with the elements of your show and how you can leverage each element for your SEO purposes. Your image is very important. Now, I want you to think as a developer. Now, I know that's hard, but think as if you were a developer in charge of iTunes rankings, what would you use as a ranking factor? Because none of these tips have been proven. Some of them are obvious, like the amount of downloads that you get. That obviously plays a factor in your rankings. The amount of reviews that you get. I'm going to go into that a little bit later.
But none of these are 100% proven. So you have to think as a developer. If you were a developer working for iTunes in charge of those ranking factors, what would you implement? That's what I did for some of the tips that I'm going to provide you later on in this show. So your image. Name your image as your most important keyword. You can even include some keywords in that image because if Google uses image names as a ranking factor, chances are iTunes does it as well. I don't know how likely that is, but I just do it. You don't lose anything doing that. You're just covering your back. The same thing for your MP3 files. Name your MP3 files with the keyword that you're targeting with each episode. Now, this is something that I have failed to do on most of my episodes, but simply because I forget. Plain and simple.
Now, another place where it would be ideal to include these keywords, but that is outside of your control, is in your reviews. The reviews that people leave for your show. Now, again, this is outside of your control. You can perhaps ask for a, ask your email list, your subscribers and followers. But then again, this is just going to come naturally. People are going to mention those words in the reviews naturally. And another factor relevant to your reviews is the votings – if people are voting for each other's reviews inside the list of reviews that you get in iTunes. That could play a factor in your rankings. Again, it's not been proven, but it's something that could be used as a ranking factor. But then again, it's outside of your control, so it doesn't really count as a step that you should definitely follow here.
Now, a very important factor that is definitely on your control is the amount of subscribers that you get and the amount of downloads that you get. And this is achieved by promoting the heck out of your podcast. And there's very effective ways of, to promoting your show in a way that is not spammy or pushy and I'm going to go into that right now. Now, one way that you can go on about promoting your show is by subscribing to Facebook groups, joining Facebook groups that allow you to introduce yourself to your, to the, sorry, to the rest of the members and mention your podcast. There's a bunch of awesome podcasting Facebook groups. Now, don't be promotional. Just, you know, you can even ask for permission. I run a Facebook group about podcasting which is called "Podcast Talks" and I allow people that ask permission to mention the name of their show, and that way, they get a lot of subscribers. I mean, not from my Facebook group specifically, but doing so in every Facebook group that you find out there. Again, make sure you're not pushy, you're not spammy, you're not too much self-promotional.
You can also do native advertising to promote your show. This is the most powerful thing that I have done to promote my show. Now, native advertising could be a subject for an entire podcast episode on itself, but what it basically means is that you're promoting content in a very natural way, in a way that blends in with the rest of non-advertising content. For example, you can promote your, you can pay to promote your podcast episodes, which is what I do, and use paper platforms like Google AdWords, Facebook ads and Twitter ads, and a bunch of other platforms that are out there, and make sure that you're promoting to a very targeted audience.
Again, this will be a podcast episode on itself because there's a ton of tips and tricks that go along with this to achieve low-cost advertisements. But, for example, one way that you can do is you can target as a keyword the name of your guests if you're doing interviews in your podcast. The name of your guest on your, on Google AdWords, and chances are that not a lot of people are going to be bidding for those keywords, for those names. And this is the secret sauce for my podcast and I was afraid of giving out this secret, but, hey, I really want to make sure that everyone listening to this gets the most volume possible and the only way that I can achieve that is if I put myself out there, having no secrets. Just, you know, letting you know everything that I figure out, that I find out that works for me, even if it means that more of my competitors are going to implementing because, in the end, we're all a community. We're all a network of entrepreneurs and if we help each other, it's going to be much more helpful than if we are out there alone because, as I have said many other times, this is a journey that can be very lonely, specifically if you're doing it alone from home like I am and other people are.
So getting back to what I was talking about on native advertisements. Like I said, native advertising means that you're creating your ad in such a way that it blends in with the rest of your content. A great place also for this is Facebook ads because you can promote your posts, but not as a "promoted post." I know that sounds very weird, but go to the Facebook ad management platform and create a post from there instead of boosting a post that you have published directly from your page, which is another thing that Facebook allows you to do. Now, it might be scary to spend money on native advertisement, but I promise that it's going to be much more cheaper than promoting other types of things that directly, like, directly promoting a product or a sales page because you're providing a ton of value and Facebook is going to reward you for that and people are going to be much more likely to click your ads and read your content and listen to your podcasts because you're not directly selling anything at that time.
So just experiment with it at least one dollar a day. Play around with it and I promise it has a great return on investment. Don't be scared of it. People are going to love it and thank you for the value that you're going to be providing. Always think of your audience. First, think of what they want to hear from you, what they want to listen from you, and they will reward you for that value. Another awesome place to promote your post as a native advertising strategy is Twitter ads, which allows you to create something they call "Twitter Cards" and promote Tweets that you send out to your followers. And you can, it's just very good because you can target, again, if you have guests, you can target followers of your guests and they're going to be familiar in, I mean, I advise that you include an image for a photo of, a picture of your guest in your card. That's a reason why every one of my podcast episodes feature images, include the image of my guest is because when I promote my show, when I promote my episodes, I want that followers, my guest's followers feel that connection to that image, that connection to that episode, and they will want to listen and click that ad a lot more than if it was a random image and a random title that they are not familiar with.
Again, I'm really sorry not to be more specific on how to actually set up a native advertising campaign. This could be and will be an awesome topic for a whole podcast episode and I will create it, I promise. Just make sure that you keep this in mind when promoting your show. Another obvious way that you should be using to promote your show is your email list. You might not have an email list, but if you do, it, I mean, I shouldn't be saying this. It's obvious that you have to promote your episodes to your email list. Otherwise, who are you providing value to? Who are you providing, who are you giving this awesome value that you are creating in your podcasts to if not your email subscribers? Now, moving forward with ranking factors comes reviews, which is very important. Reviews and subscriptions. And the way I control this is with contests. I give away a free membership to Smartduu.com, my WordPress providing business, in exchange of people's honest reviews and subscribing to my show and answering to questions related to each of the episodes where I feature these contests on, and that has helped a lot with my reviews, my ratings, and the rankings on iTunes.
So I haven't seen anyone else recommend doing this. I have started doing this for sure. I promote and I try to build backlinks to that page as much as I do to my own websites and I believe it has helped a lot. In the three short months that I have been live on iTunes for the Money Diver Podcast, I have outranked a lot of people that have been doing podcasts on the same space that I have for the last three years. I have over 100 reviews in, again, in three short months. I'm extremely grateful for everyone listening that has left a review. I have no words to describe how grateful I am. So once again, guys, thank you so much for tuning in. I hope you enjoyed this episode. If you did, please let me know whether it is by sending me an email or sending me a Tweet to @Borjafat or leaving a comment at rebelgrowth.com/episode16. See you later. I hope you implement this. And as always, keep on diving!
Do you have any special strategy for your podcast SEO? I would love to know so feel free to share!


Privacy Management on Facebook: Do Device Type and Location of Posting Matter?
Citation: Suh, J. J., & Hargittai, E. (2015). Privacy Management on Facebook: Do Device Type and Location of Posting Matter?. Social Media + Society. 1(2).
People's information sharing on Facebook often happens through mobile devices allowing for posting from different locations. Despite the potential contextual differences in content sharing, the literature on online privacy management rarely takes into consideration the type of device and the type of location from which people post content. Do these aspects of Facebook use affect how people share information online? Analyzing Facebook posts young adults shared from different devices and different locations, this article examines the effectiveness of users' privacy management. By comparing the intended audience with the actual audience of each post, we find considerable mismatch between the two despite most participants expressing confidence in their ability to manage their information on the site. Posts that are accidentally shared with "public"—potentially anyone on the web—are more likely to be shared from non-mobile devices. Interview data reveal that this happens despite the fact that most participants consider non-mobile devices more reliable and convenient to use than mobile devices.
The authors thank Dr. Robert Hariman, Dr. Eden Litt, and two anonymous reviewers for their insightful feedback that helped improve this paper.

Mobile Marketing. It can seem confusing and seasoned business owners might even say it feels a lot like just another marketing trend, but look around you. Everyone has gone mobile! Do you see anyone without a mobile device of some kind? Heads up business owners, mobile marketing is here to stay and you need to get up to speed pretty quickly or be left behind by your competitors who see the big picture.
Think about this; 98% of smartphone users said they use their mobile devices to search for local businesses. Don't take that too lightly, think about that. These searchers are ready to do business! As a matter of fact, 88% of them have been shown to have taken action on that search within 24 hours. What is taking action? It simply means that they have taken an action as a result of the search. They might have called the business, visited the business, or made a purchase at the business they searched for. You would have to agree that might make a pretty impressive difference in your bottom line if your business's website showed up in those mobile searches. But does it?
You may be familiar with the terms mobile advertising, mobile websites, QR Codes, iPads, text messages, Mobile Applications (apps), and smartphones. But what about multimedia messaging service, location based mobile services, call to action and tap to call?
What are VIP Clubs, mobile coupons, and text to win mobile campaigns?

The bioluminescent tail of Genji
Scientists have succeeded in unraveling the mystery -- at the protein structure level -- of the mechanism at work in the glowing tail of the "Genji firefly" (Luciola cruciata Motschulsky), which is considered to have the highest luminous efficiency of any known source of light. The results of the joint research carried by the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research (RIKEN) and Kyoto University are to be published in the March 16 edition of the British science journal Nature.
By tinkering with the chemical composition of luciferase (a bioluminescent enzyme), the research team succeeded in changing the emission color from its normal greenish-yellow to orange and red. Researchers are now attempting to recreate the blue glow of the sea firefly (Vargula hilgendorfii) and firefly squid (Watasenia scintillans) in order to have all three primary colors at their fingertips.
"This might prove useful in applications such as short-term emergency lighting when no source of electricity or combustion is available," says Kyoto University professor Hiroaki Kato. "Light could be created by mixing up a liquid protein solution."
Anytime energy is converted into light, there is some loss due to heat. Luminous efficiency is a measure of the proportion of energy supplied to a light source that is effectively converted into visible light energy (i.e. the amount not lost to heat or infrared radiation). The luminous efficiency of incandescent light bulbs is around 10%, while fluorescent light is around 20% and LED is around 30%. Firefly tails are significantly higher, at 90%. Scientists were aware that the Genji firefly used luciferase in combination with luciferin (a light-emitting substrate) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to produce light, but the detailed workings of the mechanism have until now remained a mystery.

Can I Get Workers' Comp If I Work from Home?
Workers' compensation is a fantastic source of financial relief for employees who sustain injuries at work and/or suffer disabilities because of work-related injuries. The workers' compensation systems in Missouri and Kansas protect employees in the event of an injury, regardless of who was at fault. When an employee works from home, however, the rules can change – giving many remote workers cause for concern.
Workers' Compensation Rules
Workers' compensation typically covers any injuries that occur in a work-related incident. This includes injuries that happen outside of the workplace, as long as the employee was engaged in a work-related activity. Injuries on a business trip, during a delivery, and while visiting a client on business are all examples of injuries workers' compensation will cover outside of the workplace.
With the rise of the remote worker, there's been a subsequent rise in employees filing workers' comp claims for injuries they sustained on the job while at home. The outcomes of these cases have varied according to different state statutes and the specific details involved in the injury. The cases workers' compensation has denied typically involve independent contractors or situations in which the committee decided that the injured employee didn't have grounds for a claim.
Workers' comp doesn't cover independent contractors. State law doesn't require employers to carry insurance coverage for independent contractors, and thus these workers can't file a workers' compensation claim. However, some companies misclassify employees as independent contractors to avoid having to pay for insurance. Double-check that your employer has properly classified you to ensure you can receive benefits.
Cases Workers' Comp Accepts
In general, workers' compensation must accept claims for employee injuries or illnesses that arise out of and in the scope of employment, no matter where they occur. If an at-home employee suffers an injury such as a slip and fall while performing a work-related activity, he or she has every right to file a claim. However, the employee has a burden of proof to show that his or her injuries occurred as the result of or during work.
In one real-life case, Sandberg v. JC Penney, an employee successfully received workers' compensation for her injuries after tripping over her dog while walking to the garage. Sandberg was a designer, working from a home studio. She kept her work materials in her garage as part of her job. Since her home premises was also her work premises, the court decided that her injury did indeed arise in the course of her employment.
In this particular case, the details helped Sandberg obtain workers' compensation coverage. The courts denied her first claim but reconsidered upon an appeal. Sandberg was a designer required to work in her home and garage. In a situation where a remote employee isn't required to work from home but chooses to do so, the courts may have ruled differently.
If an employee works a telecommuting job where there's no in-office work option and sustains a work-related injury, such as carpal tunnel syndrome from typing, he or she can reasonably make a workers' compensation claim like any other employee. Simply working from home doesn't automatically make an employee ineligible to receive workers' comp benefits. It comes down to the specifics of the incident and the injury and whether the employee can prove the cause of the injuries.
Contact an Attorney – If You're Hurt at Work at Home
If you sustain an injury in your Missouri or Kansas home while performing a work-related task, report the accident to your employer right away. Document your injury with photographs, medical records, and a detailed description of the incident. If workers' compensation denies your request, contact Dickerson Oxton, LLC to speak with a Kansas City work injury attorney who can help you file an appeal. To get in contact with our law firm, please call us at (816) 268-1960 or reach out to us through our online contact form. Our initial consultations are always free, and we're here to discuss the specifics of your case.

The 19th-century German military theorist Carl von Clausewitz gave a classic definition of war as the "continuation of policy by other means." Considering the strategy of the West during various crises in recent years, it would seem that U.S. and European leaders have radically revised that idea and now view war not so much as a continuation of policy as they do an alternative to it.

This weekend felt so short after the long weekend and short week we just had!
Aaron and I got a lot done though, and still found plenty of time to relax before heading back to work on Monday.
Thanks to the lovely Laura at Happily Ever Parker - I found the winter coat I've been looking for!
Anyway...Laura posted this gorgeous jacket a week or so ago and I was so excited! It was even from Target (which = no scary price tag)...I couldn't get there fast enough haha! I think I went out and tried it on the next day. I ended up getting it in black (for some reason the camel color didn't look as nice in person) but I ordered it offline because there were two coupon codes - 20% off and free shipping!
I've been eyeing the Victoria's Secret thermal pjs for awhile, but haven't bought them yet, as they are like $60 (really? for cotton pjs?)...so I was excited that these were only $20!
If you can't tell - those a little foxes all over the leggings.
Date night consisted of pizza (shocker). We got Yellow Brick again and decided to try their new special for November called "Winner Winner Chicken Dinner".
Now, I was very skeptical, because this pizza consists of some odd ingredients...chicken (duh), corn, red onion, cranberries, mashed potatoes (as the "sauce") and then gravy after being baked. But I gave it a chance because some of their pizzas that sound the weirdest, actually taste the best.
I also grabbed myself a treat at the grocery store - something that I love, but don't each too much.
Crusty french bread, brie, and blackberry jam.
Bake the cheese in the oven until warm and melty - add some jam - dip in pieces of crusty bread.
So simple and just DELICIOUS.
You need to try if you haven't!! It's the perfect snack for girls night, my friends and I always end up making it when we get together.
I'm so glad you reached out and now I have your blog on my daily reads. Love great steals and that coat looks super expensive and warm. Stop it about the pizza - amazing I am sure! And I'll definitely be adding some blackberry jam to my brie next time!
Love the jacket and looove the pj set, I'm totally going to go get that for myself now!
Yay! So happy that jacket worked for you I still need to head over there and check it out! Loving those fox PJ's too!
I love everything about this post. That pizza looks unreal.. and I love that coat!
Great Target finds! I'm a total sucker for cute pj's!
1. that coat is really lovely, and target offers THE BEST prices for coats. that's where i get my coats every year.
2. those slippers are supes cute.
Those two coats are so perfect.
BOO to that camel color not looking as nice in person because it's exactly what I'm looking for! And that pizza? Y-U-M!


If you are planning a vacation, it is vital that you start the search for the best vacation rentals early enough. Waiting until the last minute can cause lots of inconveniences and you might not end up enjoying your holidays. Twain Harte is a favorite vacation destination for most people, and if you intend to go there, then you should find the best Twain Harte rentals as early as possible. This article outlines vital factors for selecting the best vacation rental for your accommodation.
Identify a suitable location In choosing the most suitable location for your vacation, you must put your preferences first. Knowing what you want to enjoy doing the vacation can help you to identify the most appropriate spot to spend your time. For example, if you love water sports, beach vacation rentals would be appropriate for you. Find time to list down your preferred activities and then, proceed to search for destinations that are known for the events. The internet can help you find the best locations, and you can also view the vacation rental firms websites for more info.
Know where to search for the vacation rentals Most people find vacation rentals through the assistance of professional real estate agents or travel agents, but you can also opt for finding the property owners and engaging them directly. Browse the internet to find a list of cabins for rent in Twain Harte ca. Most people find it tedious to rent properties directly although it is the best way of finding affordable vacation rentals.
Ask for suggestions Lots of information about vacation rentals is available on the internet and newspapers, but another easy way of getting the best deal is asking friends and relatives. Explore your connections to try getting a vacation rental. Recommendations can simplify the search process, but you should be cautious since your loved ones might have a different preference from yours when choosing the rentals. Such recommendations are quite reliable because they are based on past experiences and your loved ones are not likely to mislead you.
Make an early reservation Most people wait until the last minute to start the booking arrangements for their vacation rentals, and that is not advisable. Last minute booking can be disappointing and expensive, and you might not find a suitable vacation rental, and that can ruin the entire holiday experience. Early booking comes with a lot of advantages because you have enough time to research about various vacation rentals and make a comparison and also find affordable rates.


I doubted Depeche Mode in my last outing here. Just call me Thomas. Yeah yeah, I know..
Their comeback single, 'Where's The Revolution?' was topical, pointed, angry even. To my ears it was, and remains, a fairly middling piece of work. Not terrible by any means, but nothing to get excited about either. It's only fair then, to apologise to the Basildon three (yes, even you, Fletch); on Saturday night Depeche Mode, again, made me a believer.
The truth is, I shouldn't even be writing this review. I had decided that I wasn't going to bother with Depeche Mode's latest tour. Despite loving their O2 Delta Machine show, there were too many reasons not go this time.
Until the album reviews started coming in… Was I going to regret not coughing up for my favourite band on the planet, no matter where they were playing and how much it was going to cost? I decided to listen to the album before making a decision.
As we're both here now, you know what the result of that was. Standing tickets were purchased within 24 hours of a couple of listens to album #14, Spirit.
It was about 7pm by the time we made our way out onto the vast arena floor. By the time we found a spot, about half way up the pitch I guess, the Horrors were just about to take the stage. Honestly though, aside from 2 or 3 tracks, they weren't worth lingering on.
I had predicted an onstage time for Depeche of 20:15. I was spot on.
Greeted by a battery of mobile phones airborne to capture this moment, Martin's dirty guitar signalled the first moment of the concert, Spirit's opening track, the bluesy strut of 'Going Backwards'. "We are not there yet, where we need to be", Dave Gahan, 55 years young, is not going backwards at all. His voice filled the London Stadium, incredibly smooth and clear. What wasn't clear, at least for the group next to us, was why the screens weren't working. It was almost like they'd never been to a Depeche gig before.
I could only just about make out the band onstage, it took me a minute to work out that Martin was standing directly below the "supplementary musician", Peter Gordeno.
The screens came to life for second track, 'So Much Love'. The screens flanking the stage showing the live performance in front of us, with the main screen displaying filmed footage of the band "performing" the track. So far, so arch.
If 'So Much Love', with its insistent keyboards and obvious singalong potential, had woken the crowd up, then 'Barrel Of A Gun' started the party in earnest. This song has always had a special place in my heart for reintroducing me to the Mode twenty years ago. I greatly enjoyed Dave's performance here, as he whirled, twirled and gurned about the stage as if transported back to the bad old days in which this song was written. As the song came to its end, Dave threw in a bit of "Don't push me cos I'm close to the edge…" prompting me to wonder what might have happened had he pursued a rap career instead.
'A Pain That I'm Used To' followed, Martin on guitar and Gordeno joining him on bass, pushing Depeche ever further away from being the electro pioneers they once were. Just in case we'd forgotten though, a storming, brilliant version of 'World In My Eyes' followed, at times, it felt like the entire stadium was singing "Let me show you the world in my eyes!" Dave got so into it that he fell over, twice, and lost his microphone, leaving Martin and an adoring audience to finish the song.
Cover Me is one of the highlights on Spirit, so I was very much looking forward to hearing it in a stadium setting. It didn't disappoint here. Anton's, Dave as spaceman, visuals an almost too perfect match for Dave's yearning tale and the melancholic, yet euphoric beats I disappeared into.
I felt something in me heal. I hope, now, for better times ahead. Thank you, Martin; love you, Jo.
The pleasing skank of 'Poison Heart' followed, then 'Where's The Revolution?' (the crowd definitely enjoyed this one more than me) before an extremely extended intro to 'Wrong'. There were many things wrong with 2009's Sounds of the Universe, Wrong may well have been the only thing right. Its wrong man, wrong time, wrong place, wrong life theme certainly something I could relate to. Things were picking up now as the night descended around us, 'Everything Counts' had everyone singing along to its "The grabbing hands grab all they can/ All for themselves after all" refrain.
Deep into singalong territory now, along came 'Stripped'. The rain that came down seemed to underline and augment the heady, steamy atmosphere of this song. I could quite happily be stood in the London Stadium now chanting, "Let me see you stripped down to the bone". On my own. In an empty stadium.
'Enjoy The Silence' next. If there had been a roof above us, it would surely have blown. Singing "All I ever wanted, all I ever needed is here in my arms" as I held onto Jo, just felt right. We were primed, now, for an almost punky, savage reading of 'Never Let Me Down' Again. I don't know if Dave simply can't sing this like he used to be able to (although his performance of 'Corrupt' earlier in the evening would suggest otherwise) but I enjoyed the staccato manner in which he delivered the song. And he demanded to see our hands, of course he did. And we all showed them to him. Even Jo. I looked around me and tried to work out if everyone was waving, but it was impossible to do so. Presumably because everyone was waving.
And then, with a "Goodnight, thank you!" they were gone.
Martin returned a few minutes later with Peter Gordeno and by the time they had finished a beautiful rendition of 'Somebody', I had a tear in my eye. Dave returned and the band ripped through 'Walking In My Shoes' and then, an oddity in the Depeche Mode live performance, a cover version. Any serious Depeche Mode fan knows the importance of David Bowie's, 'Heroes' in the band's history. Wanting the set to be a surprise, I'd not paid much attention to setlists follwing the tour's opening night. As a result, I'd sort of forgotten that they'd been playing it.
'I Feel You' saw Martin and Dave rocking out together in front of Christian Eigner's drum kit. I found myself wondering to Jo whether Martin ever wants Christian to. Stop. Ruining. The. Songs. I don't know, I get that 'I Feel You' has its place, but that place just seems to exist so Dave can be a rock star and he is so much more than that.
Anyway, that's my one, curmudgeonly, complaint. I had no such comment to make about the closing track, the mighty 'Personal Jesus'. Like everyone around me, I could have reached out to "touch faith" forever and ever. Amen. It had to stop, of course it did. Depeche Mode had given us their best for 130 minutes, how Dave was still standing at the end of all that, I have no idea. I knew I was looking forward to sitting down and I had just been watching for the last two hours.
They were tiny figures under the stage lights at the end. It seemed obvious though, watching their reaction on the large screens that they considered this to be a job well done. It was equally obvious that all around me agreed. The way they lingered onstage before departing for the final time told me that they were moved by such a display of mass approbation from a historically tricky hometown crowd.
They deserved every little bit of acclaim they received. Just writing this up makes me wish I was in Cologne to see them again tonight. They were, and are, magic.

During the work day, truck drivers will be rushed. "Some times it seems as if the load has to be there "yesterday."
Before leaving the place where your truck is parked, there are some items on the vehicle that MUST be checked before leaving. Ensure that these following items are absolutely checked before you start your trip each day, and several times over the course of your day.
