A quick recap: The Free State Project (FSP) is an endeavor to get 20,000 "liberty-loving" people to move to New Hampshire. The stated intent is to have them "work within the political system to reduce the size and scope of government."
Last December, NH State Representative (Democrat) Cynthia Chase deemed Free Staters "the single biggest threat the state is facing today" and advocated establishing an "unwelcoming" environment for them. Cynthia's intolerant comments made waves even outside of New Hampshire, getting attention from Matt Welch at Reason, Warner Todd Huston at Big Government, and Fox News's Brett Baier.
Which brings me to the editorial antics of my local paper, Foster's Daily Democrat. Although they've never shown any interest in covering the FSP in their news pages, they've published three FSP-trashing editorials so far this year.
The first, on January 8 warned ominously that the FSP was "co-opting our way of life". While barely criticizing Chase's invective as "inopportune", the editorialist condemned the FSP as being "surreptitious" (without providing a single example), and leaned heavily on us-vs.-the-outsiders demagoguery.
The second came after some FSP wags sent Cynthia Chase a lovely bouquet, thanking her for the free publicity. The humor-impaired editorialist tsk-tsked: the FSP, he said, "had some growing up to do."
And then, finally, yesterday: "Cat is out of the bag ... for sure", the headline read. The editorialist had found a smoking gun! Where? Why, in the words of Carla Gericke, the FSP President! (As reported in the Union Leader, because as previously stated, Foster's has shown no interest in covering the FSP in its own news pages.) The issue is how soon it will take for the FSP to reach its 20,000-person pledge goal.
"I want to do it in the next two years," she said, explaining the only way to accelerate the move is to begin major fundraising efforts and secure sponsors to help raise about $270,000 - a figure she believes could make the move feasible.
Whoa. I hope you were sitting down for the revelation of that bit of news.
But the Foster's "suspicious" editorialist imagines the dark future of 2015 when 20,000 Free Staters show up all at once and … do what, exactly? Well, worst case: "work within the political system to reduce the size and scope of government." You know, exactly as their Statement of Intent states.
But a 501c3 is a nonprofit that under the Internal Revenue Code, "may not attempt to influence legislation as a substantial part of its activities and it may not participate in any campaign activity for or against political candidates."
I have no opinion on whether the FSP should organize as a 501(c)(3), but in fact a lot of advocacy groups do so, perfectly legally: examples include Planned Parenthood, the National Rifle Association, the Cato Institute, the Heritage Foundation, People for the American Way Foundation, etc.
It's a mixed blessing that Foster's news reporting on the FSP is nearly non-existent. If it were as transparently lame and grudge-driven as its editorials, it would certainly be an easy target for a blogger to make fun of.

For people of Chinese heritage, and other Asian countries, the Chinese zodiac represents an integral cultural tradition with origins in ancient China. The Chinese zodiac cycle is inexplicably linked to the Chinese lunar calendar, which follows the cycles of the moon unlike the modern Gregorian calendar. Many people the world over turn to the Chinese zodiac to help them uncover the various possible paths of their futures.
What is the Chinese Zodiac Calendar?
The Chinese zodiac, known as Sheng Xiao in Mandarin, follows a 12-year cycle that assigns a certain animal to each year. While similar to the Western zodiac, the Chinese zodiac calendar cycle is a 12-part cycle and is not connected to any constellations.
The Chinese zodiac consists of the following animal signs (in order) – rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. These animals correspond to years, but are also assigned to months, days, and hours, for more exact astrology readings. In this way, people can be born in one year, but also be influenced by the signs corresponding to the month, day, and hour they were born.
Sources date the Chinese zodiac back almost 2,000 years to the Han Dynasty. Many people during the North Zhou Dynasty in the 6th century A.D. used it to determine their birth year, which is a practice still commonly practiced to this day.
The origin of the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac dates back to a myth involving a grand race, involving an assortment of animals common to China. In order to win the race and be placed in the zodiac, each animal needed to cross a river with a strong current.
Two competitors, the cat and the rat, were fierce enemies. They were driven by their hatred for each other to constantly fight. Both the cat and the rat asked the ox to take them across the river during the race, but the rat pushed the cat into the river. For this reason, there is no cat in the Chinese zodiac.
Meanwhile during the race, the rat jumped ahead of the ox to come first. Other animals fell in different positions within the race and the zodiac due to other circumstances. For instance, the pig stopped halfway to nap and came last. Each piece of this origin story thus explains how some of the attributes were given to the different animals.
Many people all around the world, not simply in China, still follow the changing cycle of the Chinese zodiac. Because certain attributes and elements are associated with each animal that makes up the zodiac, people pay attention to how a person's personality might be affected by the zodiac sign of their birth year.
People in many Asian countries, including China, South Korea, Japan, and Mongolia, go to astrologers to help makes sense of their future using details related to their zodiac sign. Similarly to horoscopes and the idea of certain signs being more romantically compatible, people born under different Chinese zodiac years might better suit certain people. In addition, each animal corresponds to a certain element, either metal, wood, earth, fire, or water, and each year also receives an elemental designation.
In this way, people can attempt to forecast their luck in romance, business, and other important life milestones. These practices may lead some families to plan to have children during auspicious years or to omit certain people from attending gatherings like weddings and funerals.
Even if you're not interested in using your zodiac sign to determine your perfect match or other important life events, you might learn something about your personality by studying the animal zodiacs. You can perhaps learn insights into why you act the way you act, such as rats being hardworking but thrifty.

In Vladimir Putin's Russia, You Either Agree With Him Or You Lose Your Life

You don't want to get on the wrong side of Vladimir Putin. If you do, the chances of going missing or turning up dead are pretty likely. It may seem like Putin's rise to power and prominence on the world stage was swift – after all, we've all heard his name repeated again and again during the U.S. Presidential campaign and since Donald Trump took office. Many people across the U.S. are just waking up to the fact that Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin pose a viable threat to the U.S. and Western democracies, but Putin has been building his reputation for ruthlessness for decades.
Vladimir Putin was born to a working class family in Leningrad in 1952. He is an only child. Young Vlad loved spy novels and television shows. When he was a young boy, he turned up at KGB headquarters. He wanted to be prepared. He wanted to know what it would take to join the infamous intelligence agency. The KGB officer told him to work hard and study the law. So that's just what he did. He went to Leningrad State University and then spent 17 years as a mid level agent in foreign intelligence.

To understand what motivates Vladimir Putin, you have to understand the world he grew up in. He grew up in the era of the USSR saw it as strong and impenetrable. In 1989, he faced a moment that set him on the path to becoming the ruthless leader he is today. He was in Dresden at an anticommunist rally formed outside of the KGB offices. Putin and the other agents were told they must wait for word from Moscow before acting. However, no word from Russia ever came. Suddenly, it became clear to Putin that the USSR had become weak. Of course, just two years later in 1991, the USSR dissolved.
By that time Putin had left the KGB and was back in Leningrad, only now it was called St. Petersburg. He went to work for his former college professor Anatoly Sobchak, who had become the first democratic mayor of the city. Sobchak had a strong authoritarian streak. Putin was his behind the scenes man who knew how to get things done.
In 1996, Vladimir Putin moved to Moscow where he took a job with the FSB, the agency that succeeded the KGB. He rose through the ranks quickly and in 1998 he was made the head of the FSB. In 1999 Boris Yeltsin made Putin the prime minister of Russia. In Russia, the prime minister is the second highest ranking government official and reports only to the president. Later that year, Yeltsin stepped down and named Putin the acting president. He then went out and won the election outright in March.
Putin took over the presidency of Russia during a complicated time. The country was mired in the conflict with Chechnya and oligarchs were attempting to expand their political influence—which Putin saw as a direct threat to his presidency. So, Putin struck a deal with them—he told the oligarchs that he would not interfere in their business or renationalize state resources as long as they stayed out of politics and did not criticize or challenge his presidency.
Then a strange thing began happening. People who were publicly critical of Putin and his government started getting murdered.
In 2003, a Russian politician named Sergei Yushenkov was shot dead as he tried to gather evidence proving the Putin government was behind the bombing of a residential apartment block.
In 2004, Putin was elected to a second term as president. It was during this time that he began his crackdown on the media. Paul Klebnikov, an American journalist of Russian descent, was killed outside his Moscow office in a drive-by shooting. He was the editor in chief of the Russian edition of Forbes magazine. He had published a list of the country's richest people and written about corruption and the personal lives of wealthy and prominent Russians.
In 2006, a journalist named Anna Politkovskaya was murdered in the lobby of her apartment building by a contract killer. She had written about corruption in the Russian army during the Chechnyian conflict.
A few weeks after Politkovskaya's murder, an FSB defector named Alexander Litvinenko was poisoned in London by Kremlin assassins with a radioactive cup of green tea.
In 2008, Moscow attorney Sergei Magnitsky alleged there had been a $230 million theft from the Russian treasury sanctioned and carried out by government officials. He was arrested, imprisoned, and denied medical attention. Then, one week before the expiration of the one-year term during which he could be legally held without trial, he died under mysterious circumstances. Many believe he was murdered. His case caused international outrage and led to the adoption of the Magnitsky bill by the US government at the end of 2012 which states that the Russian officials believed to be involved in his death were barred from entering the United States or using its banking system.
Despite all of this, Vladimir Putin was a popular president in Russia.
In 2008, Dmitry Medvedev was elected president and made Vladimir Putin the prime minister. Shortly thereafter, the global financial crisis hit. During Putin's first two terms as President the GDP of Russia increased 70%. Putin's Russia relied on the country's oil industry for its profitability. The price of oil plummeted and the Russian economy was hit hard. This was blamed on Medvedev. Under Putin, Russia flourished, under Medvedev the economy contracted and fortunes were lost or diminished.
Vladimir Putin was elected president for the third time in 2012 for a six year term. There was a lot of controversy with his election. There were allegations of voter fraud. Many Russians believe that a third term is unconstitutional.
Meanwhile, the suspicious murders continued.
In 2009, Stanislav Markelov, a human rights attorney who represented journalists who had been critical of the Kremlin and thus found themselves targets of the Kremln—including the murdered reporter Anna Politkovskaya—was shot by a masked gunman. Journalist Anastasia Baburova was walking with him and was also murdered
Natalia Estemirova, a journalist who specialized in uncovering human rights abuses carried out by the Russian state in Chechnya, was kidnapped outside her home. She was then shot in the head and dumped in the woods in 2009.
Russian businessman Alexander Perepilichny blew the whistle on a tax fraud scheme and then died mysteriously in 2012 while jogging near his home in Surrey, England. He had fled Russia a year earlier in fear for his life. Perepilichny had no health issues at the time of his death. Two autopsies and advanced toxicology tests proved inconclusive. However, a plant expert found traces of Gelsemium elegans, a deadly poisonous plant used in Russian assassinations in his stomach. He died of the same radioactive green tea that killed Alexander Litvinenko.
In 2013, Boris Berezovsky, a Russian billionaire who fled to Britain after falling out with Putin was found dead inside a locked bathroom at his home.
Then, in 2014, Putin went out and annexed Crimea. He just decided that Crimea was going to be part of Russia. The world was once again outraged and the West imposed sanctions on Russia over this action.
But still, the murders of perceived enemies of the Kremlin goes on. Boris Nemtsov was a liberal politician opposed to the Putin Government. He was shot four times in the back just feet from the Kremlin in 2015. His murder occurred just hours after urging the public to support a march against Russia's war in Ukraine.
In early February 2017, Vladimir Kara-Murza, a journalist and well-known critic of the Kremlin, and friend of Boris Nemstov was admitted to the hospital after being poisoned. He is currently in a coma and experiencing full organ failure. His wife is convinced that he was poisoned for his role in convincing the U.S. to impose sanctions on Russian officials over the death of Sergei Magnitsky. He became ill on February 2nd as he prepared to fly home to the U.S. for his daughter's birthday. He survived a similar poisoning two years ago.
Kara-Murza had been in Russia for a few weeks promoting his documentary about Boris Nemtsov's assassination.
The common fear amongst pundits and scholars now is that Putin is out to destroy the West's way of life. He views the NATO alliance as obsolete as its essential purpose is to safeguard the freedom and security of its members through political and military means – basically to ensure a liberal world order where human rights violations are punished.
Putin has been expanding Russia's power around the world, including in the Middle East. NATO is an obstacle that prevents Vladimir Putin from extending his influence into Eastern Europe. So basically, if NATO were to dissolve, it would be a victory for Putin.
Despite what we may be hearing in the media about the Trump administration's ties to Putin and Russian officials, make no mistake, Russia has not been friendly to the U.S. in the past several years. They are angry about the sanctions against their country and Putin sees this as aggression against Russia. Remember, Putin grew up during the era of the USSR and believes that Russia should be an impenetrable world power. To be sanctioned is like being scolded. In Putin's mind Russia isn't scolded.
In Vladimir Putin's Russia, you either agree with him, or you lose your life.

In support of FP2020 and the Global Strategy on Women's Children's and Adolescents' Health, PSI pledged to reach 10 million people under the age of 25 with a modern contraceptive method by 2020. This FP2020 commitment informed PSI's global strategy, enforcing the Global Strategic Plan—which engages adolescents to expanding contraceptive access to young people, reducing adolescent pregnancy, and gaining new insights into young people's experiences to better meet their health needs especially voluntary, modern contraceptives among adolescent girls across the developing world. The resulting A360 Hub allows PSI to share these learnings with the goal of inspiring the global community to replicate A360's approach and solutions.
The guide provides an overview of the global need for youth-friendly service provision and key recommendations for developing/strengthening sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services so that providers are better able to engage and retain young people in care.
PSI and IPPF brought together some the world's leading advocates, researchers and practitioners to talk about meaningful youth engagement. Watch here to learn more about the importance of putting adolescents at the center of program design for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights.
PSI and its partners will test new and bold ways of collaborating with young people to reimagine and redefine the way sexual, reproductive health and rights (SRHR) programs are designed, delivered, measured, and evaluated. In doing so, PSI aims to improve its collection of age-disaggregated data and share lessons learned.
PSI's programs use innovative approaches, such as human-centered design, to reach adolescents and young women. Devex covers how PSI Tanzania and design thinker Pam Scott are working to learn how to reach teen girls and their influencers, including health providers, to increase girls' access to modern contraception.

A voice from the past: Derrick Gainer
To me at least, and perhaps all boxing fans of certain age, Derrick Gainer is one of those guys Prince Naseem never got around to knocking out. I'm sure that doesn't truly define him as a fighter, a cursory check confirms his status as a former WBA champion. But the fact he never faced the Prince, whether it was his fault or Hamed's is my frame of reference for 'Smoke's career thus far. Oh, and I think he once lasted twelve rounds in a title bout without an offensive move. I'm less sure on the latter, as I may be mistaking him for Freddie Norwood. That's the trouble with multiple belts; so many 'champions' fail to register in my consciousness.
Anyway, whatever the past, Gainer is proclaiming to still have a future after victory over Carlos Navarro.
PRESS RELEASE – 18th July 2007
Former WBA Featherweight Derrick "Smoke" Gainer 41-7-1 {24 KO's} returned to the ring Saturday with a split decision victory over the tough Carlos Navarro 27-6-1 {22 KO's}. The fight between two southpaws was featured on the undercard of the Roy Jones -Anthony Hanshaw pay per view. Navarro was the aggressor for much of the fight, but had most of his shots altered by Gainer. The former WBA champion was able to stun Navarro, while showing he still had his world class hand speed. Gainer was able to land a few vintage combinations to both the body and the head throughout the contest.
Gainer was happy to return victorious and applauded his tough opponent. "Navarro is a very game fighter he came to win and I knew he would be tough. The fight was close due to his aggression; he landed a lot of punches on my arms and one clean punch in the third round. I didn't throw as many punches as I wanted to. I have been in similar fights where it was close and the decision went the other way but tonight it was my time and I know I deserved to win the fight".
Gainer also revealed his plans to drop down to the Junior Lightweight division and fight for a world title in the near future. "I plan on becoming a world champion at 130 pounds and I will stay active. I took this fight at 135 pounds, so it was easier on my body to make weight. I'll fight any of the big names at 130 pounds, look at my resume; I have fought nothing but the best! Let's make a fight with one of the champions. The boy from South Africa {Mzonke Fana} mentioned my name in an interview and I'll go to South Africa and take his belt. My manager just spoke with the IBF I am sure they will rank me and this time Fana will have no excuses!"

Lillevann is a station on the Holmenkollen Line (Line 1) on the Oslo Metro. The station is located between Skogen and Voksenkollen, at an altitude of  above mean sea level. The station was opened on 16 May 1916 with the extension of the line from Besserud, but the station building is older. That building was built in 1898 on an estate at Besserud, but then moved to Lillevann. The architect was Paul Due.

Lillevann can claim at least two superlatives. The station is the least-used on the entire metro system, with only 49 passengers embarking and disembarking per day in 2003. Lillevann is also the system's northernmost station; after Lillevann the line turns from its general direction of northwest and heads eastwards, and the last two stations, Voksenkollen and Frognerseteren, lie marginally further south.

Lillevann means "little pond" in Norwegian and refers to a small lake to the east of the station. The neighborhood around the station consists of detached houses. In addition some paths fit for hikers go past the station and there is a small hotel and conference centre to the north of the station.

Republican Jeff Johnson Closing In On Tim Walz In Minnesota Governor's Race
August 24, 2018 August 23, 2018 Anthony Gockowski
The latest poll out of Suffolk University shows that Republican gubernatorial candidate Jeff Johnson (pictured, left) trails his opponent Rep. Tim Walz (pictured, right) by only five points in the race for Minnesota' governorship.
The poll, conducted between August 17 and August 20, surveyed 500 Minnesotans on their opinions of candidates running in the upcoming gubernatorial and senatorial races, all of which are guaranteed to be high-stakes races for the typically blue state.
Recurring physical and mental health issues have sidelined Gov. Mark Dayton, who will not seek reelection, leaving the Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party endorsement open for Rep. Tim Walz, who is leading Johnson by a small margin of five points, according to Suffolk.
In the governor's race, Minnesota voters ranked healthcare as the most important issue facing the state, with gun control measures placing near the bottom at just 4.8 percent. The economy and taxes both tied for second at 16 percent.
Among those polled, 47 percent answered that they are "extremely interested" in the race," while another 32 percent responded that they are "very interested." 90 percent of respondents said they will "almost certainly" vote in the upcoming midterm elections.
Looking at the two Senate races in Minnesota, 43 percent of voters are leaning towards DFL candidate Tina Smith, who leads Republican Karin Housley by seven points in the race to replace Sen. Al Franken, who resigned from Congress after facing sexual harassment allegations. 46 percent of respondents agreed with Franken's decision to step down, though a surprising 44 percent disagreed.
Republican Jim Newberger trails incumbent Sen. Amy Klobuchar by a large margin of 20 points, with 65 percent of voters having a "favorable" opinion of Klobuchar.

A Look Inside FnB Bar in Old Town Scottsdale
By Evie Carpenter

Evie Carpenter The tile floor was pieced together like a puzzle, and is meant to remind guests of the original FnB's floor. 1/13
Evie Carpenter Pavle Milic had dreamed of opening a bar to accompany FnB for quite some time. 2/13
Evie Carpenter Most of the books on the shelf came from Milic's own home. 3/13
Evie Carpenter A collection of Noble Rot magazines is proudly displayed. 4/13
Evie Carpenter The wine selection is based off a common region, and changes monthly. 5/13
Evie Carpenter This quote by Walt Whitman has been an inspiration for Pavle Milic for many years. 6/13
Evie Carpenter FnB Bar isn't just about wine, though. 7/13
Evie Carpenter Guests can also explore a variety of cider selections. 8/13
Evie Carpenter Milic had to include a little nod to the beginnings of FnB in the tile floor. 9/13
Evie Carpenter The globe lights may also remind guests of the original FnB space. 10/13
Evie Carpenter A photo in Gourmet inspired the design of the original FnB, which then inspired the design of FnB Bar. 11/13
Evie Carpenter Milic hopes FnB Bar transports guests to another time and place, at least for a few hours. 12/13
Evie Carpenter FnB Bar is located right next to FnB in the old Bodega space. 13/13
You could say the making of FnB Bar in Scottsdale started back in 2009, when Pavle Milic and Charleen Badman opened the original FnB restaurant. About seven years and countless hours of hard work later, the local wine lover's watering hole is a reality, and it's got people talking.

Whether it is art, or music, or frontline action and coordination, there is a tremendous amount of power in the women taking climate action across the globe.
Our Director Rachel Marco-Havens has created a playlist filled with awesomeness! She will be working to reveal more of the actual work these incredible women are doing, but for now, the playlist is an introduction… We will be building this playlist as more people find the time to put into this little exaltation of greatness.
Help Us Spread the Word! Earth Guardians NY Crews are not ok with a 42" Fracked Gas Pipeline landing only 105' away from a Nuclear Power Plant, crossing the Hudson River and two earthquake fault lines. Spectra & FERC (The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission) think it's a great idea!!
This dangerous pipeline travels into Massachusetts and Rhode Island with similarly frightening vigor, past elementary schools, through neighborhoods… And it is headed for Export! Meanwhile, we continue to see news of pipeline explosions, leaks and decay across the country. How can such a scramble to rip our neighborhoods be permitted?
Take a photo of yourself wearing red on your wrist—Inform others, Tweet it, share it!
P.S. We are very offended by the use of the name "Algonquin" or "AIM"!

Being in a capital intensive business, it is common for companies like Skipper to have some debt. Since company has paid large part of debt in the past few years, there is no reason to be concerned about companys solvency.
Skipper Ltd is in its growth phase, thus it is not expected to give dividends as company needs capital to expand its business by adding more production capacity and widening its distribution network.

This new business will further improve the profit margins of the company.
Skipper is also expanding its PVC business to other parts of the country such as Gujrat, Madhya Pradesh. Since PVC business is a high profit margin business for the company, expansion to new states will improve sales, and net profit margins as company will achieve better economies of scale.
Major part of companys order book comes from Power Grid Corporation India Limited(PGCIL). With Governments push to rural electrification and increasing usage of solar electricity, especially in the eastern and North Eastern parts of India, Company is going to get bigger orders for T&D business. Since 2014-15 companys order book has seen huge growth.
Most of the T&D order book of Skipper Ltd. is filled by Power Grid Corporation India Limited (PGCIL). Any drop in orders to PGCIL will shrink the order book of the company. ????
Export market contributes about 50% of the orderbook of the company. Because of such huge exposure to exports, company is exposed to exchange rate risk. Any weakness in US dollar will adversely impact the margins of the company.
Skipper has an aggressive capacity expansion plan for the PVC business which will bring new execution and competition challenges. If the company resorts to aggressive pricing on its way to become a national player than it would be a margin dilutive proposition for Skipper.
Should I invest in Skipper Ltd at current Levels?
Skipper Ltd is trading at a P/E of 23 while the industry P/E is at 32. Looking at the P/E data, it looks like company is still undervalued compared to industry average and is a good buy candidate for long term. With companys aggressive expansion in different sectors, the revenue and profitability of the company will improve. If you are a long term investor with an investment horizon of 3 to 5 years, skipper is definitely a buy at current levels with a target of Rs. 765 per share in the next 3 years.

Do you believe that we will experience significant global warming during this century due to air pollution? Why do you feel this way?
This week you studied air pollution and the efforts to try and reduce the amounts of air pollution in specific countries. The discussion this week follows a similar path and poses a question regarding global warming.
Most climate experts believe that the Earth is currently experiencing global warming. Your textbook discusses efforts to model how global warming might affect surface temperatures between now and the year 2100. Most models suggest that the Earth's mean surface temperature will increase between 1.4 and 5.8 degrees Centigrade by the end of the 21st century. This large range of possible surface temperature increases results from an inadequate understanding of the Earth's climatic system and uncertainties in the data that were entered into the models. Despite allowances for errors in the climate models, critics of claims for global warming still believe that the quality of the climatic data is greatly overestimated and that no reliable conclusions about future surface temperature trends can be made at this time.


Watch out, Constant Contact and SurveyMonkey. A 10-year-old email marketing platform from down under is moving in.
A few months after raising $250 million from Insight Venture Partners – its first fundraising since the company was founded in 2004 – Campaign Monitor revealed Tuesday that it has acquired online survey startup GetFeedback.
It's a homecoming for GetFeedback's CEO Kraig Swensrud, who served as chief marketing officer for Salesforce.com for six years. Campaign Monitor itself poached Salesforce.com exec Alex Bard as its CEO in September.
You might call Bard something of a celebrity in enterprise and tech circles. After selling cloud customer service startup Assistly to Salesforce.com for $50 million cash in 2011, Bard went on to lead the CRM giant's $1 billion-plus Service Cloud business as EVP and GM.
Among Bard's immediate focuses at Campaign Monitor is "aggressively" expanding into North America with the opening of the Sydney company's US operations in San Francisco. When combined with GetFeedback, Campaign Monitor will have 100 employees total with "plans to double that this year," according to Bard.
"The more data you're able to gather and the more behaviors you're able to collect, the more you see email become this CRM [platform], which is an area that's really interesting for us," Bard said.
About 50% of Campaign Monitor emails are opened on a mobile client, which underscored its development of Canvas, an email marketing tool designed to make branded content look great on any device.
Similarly, spurring Campaign Monitor's acquisition of GetFeedback was the recognition that marketers wanted to embed dynamic survey tools into mobile apps and experiences, going beyond pages with black text on white backgrounds typical of desktop interfaces, said Swensrud.
"They were the original data-collection tools that came out of market research, and we thought, 'Why can't these be used for branded marketing [messages] that [don't shrink or blow out] when you open them on a smartphone?'" he added.
Bard doesn't seem fazed about the crowded email marketing solution marketplace – one dominated by Constant Contact and CheetahMail, which was acquired by Experian Marketing Services in 2004.
However, other independent email platforms have been stepping up their games, raising the bar for Campaign Monitor. Companies like AgilOne and TellApart are tying together various touch points like e-commerce, site optimization and personalized email. And LiveIntent adds programmatic ad placements into email newsletters.
But Bard's not backing down. Via the Insight Venture investment, Campaign Monitor and GetFeedback have "joint gunpowder" now to identify new opportunities for expansion, whether that's "in the form of additional acquisitions [or expanding] internally and growing our talent," he said. Though Campaign Monitor is Australian, he added, most of its clients are in North America and Europe.


Renowned for its race-bred ethos, the development of the Elise Cup R into an enticing new model is now complete.
Following extensive testing, Lotus has finely honed its engaging Elise S into a Cup variant. A dramatic 3.0s reduction of the Hethel lap time of the Elise S suggests that enthusiasts seeking a viable track-day / road car need look no further.
Visual appeal has been bolstered with the striking addition of a front splitter, with end winglets, lateral bargeboards, a fixed roof, tail wing and a purposeful rear diffuser. The combined aerodynamic benefits increase downforce by 66kg at 100mph and a remarkably effective 125kg at maximum velocity.
The Lotus Elise S Cup has been developed from the successful Elise Cup R race car. In line with Lotus history, the crossover between road and race models remains inherent to the brand. The S Cup variant has been developed both at Hethel and the Nürburgring Circuit in Germany, with the primary aim of not losing the important race car pedigree.
Yet, at no stage of development have the vital Lotus characteristics of combined lightweight engineering and inherent chassis rigidity been compromised. While the modifications are track biased, the ride and handling remains in perfect balance, thereby making the Elise S Cup a realistic and uncompromised ownership proposition.
The 'fresh out of the box' appeal, allied to Lotus's focused attention to detail, means that the Elise S Cup can be used on the track on Sunday and driven to work on Monday, such is its dual-nature character. As the car has been developed by Lotus's renowned engineering department, embodying the knowledge gained from its long history, owners can feel confident in making the right choice.
To create the transition from road to thoroughly focused track car, the Elise S Cup is equipped with a T45 specification roll-hoop, which allows for future upgrades to competition harnesses and full roll cage. Electrical modifications enable the easier installation of a fire extinguisher and 'kill-switch'. UK price starts at £43,500 and€56,525 in Germany (for other currency prices, please contact the Lotus press office). Orders can be placed now.

"La Memoria" from DePedro
"Two Parts In One" from DePedro
Billboard, Album Review >>
Spanish singer/songwriter Jairo Zavala, well-known in Spanish rock circles for his work with Amparanoia and Vacazul, became a touring member of Tucson, Ariz.-based rock band Calexico in 2004. So on his solo debut, "DePedro," for which Zavala records under the same name, members of Calexico return the favor, with stunning results. "Te Sigo Sonando" displays romantic street cafe tones, with accordion and minimalist percussion, and the Tex-Mex, mariachi-flavored "Como El Viento" is a showcase for Zavala's agile fretwork and playful Spanish lyric phrasings. The English-sung "Two Parts in One" is a pulsing, desert-rock tune that features vocals from Calexico's Joey Burns. The album—the first full-length to be released by National Geographic's recently established Nat Geo Music—is one of this year's left-field delights. 08/08/09 >> go there

An Introduction to Biognosy
By Nazuk Gupta who is currently pursuing the Bachelor of Science (Hons) Biotechnology (Awarded by Northumbria University, UK)
The School of Life Sciences at MDIS offers its students a unique opportunity to join and participate in a one of a kind student club 'Biognosy'. This club was formed with one goal in mind - to present all life-science students with the chance to engage in various group extracurricular activities and mentoring experience led by school staff and students. Presently, the club is presided over by Mr Arif Danish as the president and Dr Eugene KOH as the advisor.
Biognosy organises many interactive workshops and training sessions which students can learn new skills. Workshops, such as a first aid courses, master-classes conducted by the faculty, resume writing lessons, allow students to develop essential life skills, which can be very useful for them in the future. The club endeavours to raise awareness of many social issues among the student population. Recently, the club members had participated in campaigns educating fellow students and MDIS staff about dengue, safety in the lab and COVID-19.
Biognosy helps its students to achieve their career goals by providing them with proper guidance. The career talk was one such event, in which speakers from different industry sectors came to share their stories and experiences with the students. The club members were privileged to not only interact with the speakers but also learn about various internship opportunities available. Biognosy provides the students with a platform to showcase their ideas to the public and the club also represents the School of Life Sciences in both MDIS internal and external events.
Other than these events, the members also take part in many team-building activities and excursions. Recent educational trips to the National Museum of Singapore and Fort Canning Park, facilitated students' learning about life-sciences outside the classroom. Outside of schoolwork, the annual year-end barbeque helps the students to forget the stress of studies and have fun for a while. Hence, Biognosy focuses on the students' all-round development and helps to prepare them for a career in life sciences by equipping them with communication skills, creative thinking and esprit de corps.

How gorgeous are these stamps? I love sending letters, but here in Switzerland, at 1,90 CHF ($2.25) per letter to America, it's so much cheaper to call! What a sad truth. I hate to see the art of letter writing disappearing into oblivion, but perhaps these fabulous stamps will help letter writing make a come back! They are Forever stamps and I'm more than a little tempted to buy up a bunch and tuck them away for future letter sending.
I'm dreaming of sending letters today. Love letters to J, heartfelt letters about my life in Switzerland to good friends, witty letters to pals.
When was the last time you sent a handwritten letter? When was the last time you received a handwritten letter? Who did you write to or who was it from? Did you receive a reply?
Well, i still write handwritten letters...nothing can beat a real letter on the doormat!

I've always wanted to get maternity and newborn photography done (still waiting for this newborn to arrive) but it took me 8 pregnancies to finally get around to taking professional pictures of the belly. Every baby and pregnancy should be celebrated and I'm so glad I'm (slowly) learning how to enjoy every minute of this part of motherhood!
It can be SO easy to get bogged down by the negatives of pregnancy: aching joints, insomnia, heartburn, weight gain…I'll just stop there for now. But we all know deep down what a real and true miracle it is! So many women ache to be pregnant and carry their own biological children, that it almost seems criminal to ever complain about it.
Pregnancy is hard, but beautiful!
But it's hard, I get that. It takes a toll on us mentally, physically and emotionally and on our families too. So instead of focusing on the negative, I really wanted to remember this pregancy (maybe my last?? I dunno. Probably one of my last. Ha!) as the beautiful and miraculous experience that it is.
I hope you enjoy these pics! Would you ever consider investing in some maternity photos of yourself??
Interested in getting some maternity shots taken yourself? Here's what I recommend!
Find something you look (and feel) amazing in. I recommend long, flowy dresses that aren't too tight anywhere. I loved that this one showed a little skin on my arms without baring everything (I did wear a skin color short sleeved undershirt). ASOS is a great place for gorgeous maternity dresses! Here's the link to the one I'm wearing.
Make sure your outfit and location colors mesh well. I really wanted to shoot in the desert, especially after finding this dress because I thought the rich plum would look great juxtaposed with the browns and dusty greens of the desert. I love the combination!
Wear extra makeup. This is second nature to me now that I shoot lots of photos for the blog but faces always look more washed out in photography so be sure to add extra eye makeup and lip color, even if you're going for a neutral look.
Do something relaxed and timeless with your hair. I curled mine like I usually do, but just did a deeper part and added a couple tiny rose buds. I was hoping for elegant without looking overdone. Watch out for trends if you plan on hanging these in your house for years to come!
Snag a photographer who you're comfortable with and who has experience shooting pregnant people (with a camera – ha!). I've worked with Chrissy several times before and LOVE her maternity shoots so I knew I was in good hands!
Paint your nails or have them done. Maternity photography usually involves lots of hand-belly shots so make sure your nails look pretty that day, even if they normally look like you're a mom who does lots of dishes.
Maternity dress from ASOS (I'm wearing a 12 here and am usually a 6/8 pre-pregnancy in other brands. ASOS tends to run 1 or 2 sizes small, IMO).


As the zombie apocalypse progresses, one thing that will become abundantly pertinent is how well you've prepared for the disposal of human waste. We all do it. Some of us more than others, but all of us nonetheless, must go to the bathroom on a daily basis. If you haven't considered your waste disposal situation, than you've forgotten a major factor of you long-run survival plan. If properly maintained, a functioning composting toilet will have very little odor and will effectively maintain itself for long periods of time. There are a few required components such as chemical lime and composting mulches that will be used to create an environment where microbes break down waste products effectively and sanitarily. An important lesson I learned a long time ago on a 6-month backpacking trip was "Never pee in the privy"…this is easier for the fellas than the ladies, but urines acidity will upset the pH in the compost and cause rot and pungent odors. If at all possible, pee in the woods, not in the privy. So how does one set up a long lasting, self-sustaining composting toilet? You start by getting a copy of "The composting toilet system book" and pick out your system. Then you find an appropriate spot and build yourself a throne suitable for the apocalypse surviving king or queen that you are.


Pot shops will not be coming to Belmont anytime soon. City Council passed an ordinance Tuesday that bans retail marijuana in Belmont but allows deliveries of pot. The ordinance was passed 3-1, with Doug Kim dissenting and Eric Reed absent.
Aside from pot shops, other businesses such as those that grow, test and manufacture marijuana will also be banned. The city's planning commission and the council will have to vote on a zoning change to fully enact the ban, according to City Attorney Scott Rennie.
The passage of Proposition 64 last fall will result in the legalization of retail marijuana sales throughout the state beginning on Jan. 1 unless a city passes an ordinance either banning such sales or regulating them.
Menlo Park, Burlingame, East Palo Alto and San Carlos are delaying, for at least a year, local regulations for pot shops and other marijuana-related businesses such as manufacturing, testing and distribution centers and nurseries.
Palo Alto and San Mateo have completely banned such businesses.

This equates to 1 U q 12 hr in the average cat. Even in a very large cat, the starting dose of insulin should not exceed 2 U per cat q 12 hr. Most cats are well regulated on insulin at an average dose of 0.5 U/kg q 12 hr, with a range of 0.2–0.8 U/kg.
In cats, diabetic remission is a reasonable goal.4 Successful management of DM in cats consists of minimal or no clinical signs, owner perception of good quality of life and favorable treatment response, avoidance or improvement of DM complications, (specifically, diabetic ketoacidosis and peripheral neuropathy), and avoidance of hypoglycemia.
Adjunct therapy for diabetic cats should include environmental enrichment using creative feeding tools such as food puzzles, particularly for obese cats.
Oral hypoglycemic drugs are neither recommended nor considered appropriate for long-term use. Their use is considered temporary and only if combined with dietary modification if the owner refuses insulin therapy or is considering euthanasia for the pet.
A clinically sick, diabetic, ketotic cat should be hospitalized to initiate aggressive therapy. If 24 hr care is not feasible, the patient should be referred to an emergency or specialty hospital.

Afghan Peace Talks Expose Rifts in Taliban Leadership
By Ayaz Gul
FILE - A general view of the Taliban office in Doha, Qatar. Afghan and Taliban officials will hold two days of "reconciliation" talks in Qatar, the Gulf nation's state news agency reported, May 2, 2015.
ISLAMABAD - There are signs of deepening splits among Afghanistan's Taliban after a spokesman denied that peace talks between Afghan officials and senior Taliban leaders are authorized by the group.
This week, Pakistan's national security advisor, Sartaj Aziz, confirmed that negotiators had met last month in Urumqi, China and will meet again later this month to help end Afghan hostilities and revive a national peace process.
However on Wednesday the militant group downplayed the meetings.
"If something as such has happened or is planned for the future then it is mere personal infraction, which can in no way ever represent the Islamic Emirate [name Taliban uses for its ousted government]," says a statement from the so-called Leadership Council of the Taliban emailed to media, including VOA.
Unclear if meeting authorized
Pakistan's national security advisor, Sartaj Aziz, testified this week before the foreign affairs committee of the National Assembly, lower house of parliament, disclosing that Islamabad had arranged a secret meeting last month between Afghan peace negotiators and members of the Islamist group in the northwestern Chinese city of Urumqi.
But the Taliban in Wednesday's announcement explained its leadership did not authorize the meeting in China. It says that officials based in the Taliban's "political office" in Qatar have only been granted permission to conduct political affairs and hold meetings on behalf of the insurgency.
"It is also vividly clear that the Islamic Emirate has a political office for its political affairs, which is responsible for handling all the internal and external political activities related to the Islamic Emirate."
The Taliban has confirmed recent interactions with Afghan lawmakers, civil society peace and rights activists as well as UN officials in Qatar, Norway and Dubai. But it has so far not commented on the meeting in Urumqi, the capital of China's restive Xinjiang region that borders both Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Kabul's delegation in the two-day talks was headed by Mohammad Masoom Stanikzai, who was until then a key member of the country's High Peace Council tasked to negotiate peace with the Taliban.
Stanikzai has since been nominated as minister of defense by President Ashraf Ghani and is awaiting parliamentary approval.
Taliban officials, including Mullah Mohammad Hassan, Rahmani, Mullah Abdul Razaq and Mullah Abdul Jalil, reportedly attended the meeting. They are all based in Pakistan. The Pakistani spy agency was also reportedly represented in the talks.
China's role
The Urumqi meeting also underscored China's stepped up diplomacy to promote peace and reconciliation in Afghanistan, though officials in Beijing did not comment on the meeting.
Afghan President Ghani's outreach to reset relations with neighboring Pakistan after years of mutual suspicions and mistrust is being credited for the recent flurry of meetings with insurgent leaders. Islamabad's support is seen critical for promoting the Afghan peace because much of the Taliban leadership has been based in Pakistan since the Islamist group was ousted from power in 2001. Afghans alleged Taliban fighters have used Pakistani border areas for directing and sustaining the insurgency.
Pakistani officials, however, say the recent surge in Taliban violence in Afghanistan represents the "biggest impediment" in the way of peace.
New breed of insurgents
Senior government officials tell VOA that with the passage of time Pakistan's leverage with the Taliban insurgents has also "gradually shrunken because of the emergence of a new breed of insurgent field commanders." They insist many of these Taliban commanders "act independent of the Taliban's political leadership and thus are making it difficult to bring them all on the same page for talks with the Kabul government.
This week Afghan officials told the United Nations in New York that an influx of some 7,000 foreign fighters into Afghanistan is challenging the country's security forces. Afghan and U.N. officials say the influx is the result of Pakistan's military campaign against Taliban strongholds on the other side of the border.
On Tuesday, Afghan lawmakers accused the Pakistani spy agency, the ISI, for being behind this month's Taliban attack on the Afghan parliament. They alleged that the legislature was punished for opposing an intelligence sharing deal that the Afghan National Directorate of Security has recently signed with the ISI. Pakistan has not yet commented on the allegations but it has strongly condemned the Taliban raid on the parliament in Kabul as a terrorist attack.
Analysts say that Pakistan's disclosure of its secret efforts to trying to bring the Taliban to the negotiating table could be the outcome of growing criticism in Afghanistan that Islamabad is not reciprocating Ghani's "landmark gestures and steps" for promoting tension-free bilateral ties.

Q: Visual Studio form resolution problem in editing mode I'm on a VB.Net Winform project and I have encountered a strange problem with my IDE Visual Studio 2019.
When I double click in the solution explorer to open the form in visual editing mode, it shows up but with a wrong resolution, the form and everything in it becomes far bigger than it should be. But when I run the project in debug mode, the runtime resolution is normal.
I do have two monitors but I never had this issue before, it would be great if someone knows why and has a solution for it.

A: Problem was solved after a reboot. I think it was a pending windows update who caused this . Very often, a pending windows 10 update causes a problem, I've experienced the blue screen, wifi connection failure, and this time a resolution problem. Intentionally or not, it forces users to restart the computer to apply the update. Hope this can serve other people.

Dharmachakra (Wheel of the Law)
What is Dharmachakra?
The Wheel of the Law (dharmachakra) is Buddhism's most prominent emblem, representing the Buddha's First Sermon in the forest of Sarnath, when he established Buddhist Law (dharma). The Dharma Wheel, also known as the Dharmachakra or Wheel of Dharma, is one of the many holy teachings found in Buddhism and other Indian faiths such as Hinduism and Jainism. As it reflects Buddha's teachings, it is one of the most significant and sacred symbols in the Buddhist faith.
THE MEANING OF THE DHARMA WHEEL
The Dharmachakra is derived from the Dharma, which is the road to enlightenment and Nirvana ,the highest state of being a person can achieve.
The Dharmachakra definition typically refers to a standard Dharma Wheel with eight spokes - symbolizing the Eightfold Path - and is Buddhism's oldest and most ubiquitous emblem. Because the Dharma Wheel may be interpreted in a variety of ways, there are several interpretations associated with the symbol. The Dharma Wheel is made up of three distinct parts: the spokes, the hub, and the rim.
While there are numerous variants of the Dharma Wheel, they are often portrayed with eight spokes and in gold. Within the center of the wheel, three forms are portrayed, often a Yin Yang shape, a wheel, or a circle.
Significance of Dharmachakra
Moral discipline is represented as the hub in the middle of the Dharma Wheel. The three whirling patterns on the hub, which are frequently portrayed in blue, yellow, and red, represent Dharma, Buddha, and Sangha, in that order. They are also referred to as the "Three Treasures" or "Jewels."
The Dharma Wheel's rim also represents the capacity to hold all of the teachings together through meditating and concentrating. The wheel's round form represents the perfection of Buddha's teachings.
The Four Noble Truths are represented by a Dharma Wheel with four spokes. The Eightfold Path and Buddhism are represented by the wheel having eight spokes. The 10 directions are represented by ten spokes on a Dharma Wheel, while the twelve links of dependent origination are represented by twelve spokes.
History and Usage of Dharmachakra
The Buddha is said to have put the "wheel of dharma" in motion when he delivered his first sermon, which is described in the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta. This "turning of the wheel" signifies a profound and revolutionary transformation with worldwide ramifications, brought about by an exceptional human being.
Buddhism adopted the wheel as a symbol from the Indian tale of the perfect king, known as a chakravartin ("wheel-turner" or "universal monarch"), who was said to possess several mythological objects, including the ratana cakka (the ideal wheel).
The Mah Sudassana Sutta of the Digha Nikaya characterizes this wheel as having a nave (nbhi), thousand spokes (sahasrni), and a felly (nemi), all of which are faultless in every way.
The phrase "spinning the wheel of Dharma" refers to the "wheel" that the Buddha turned, and it may be translated as wisdom, knowledge, and insight. This knowledge is split into two parts: paivedha-a, or the wisdom of self-realization of the Truth, and desan-a, or the wisdom of Truth proclamation.
The Buddha spun the dharma wheel three times, according to Mahayana Buddhism.
The sermon in the deer park was the first turning point after the Buddha's enlightenment. The Four Noble Truths were taught by the Buddha here. The second turning point was the introduction of the perfection of wisdom teachings on the nature of sunyata (emptiness). As the third turning point, the concept of Buddha Nature was presented.

Tyler Cowen discusses: opportunity cost. When you make a decision, do you weigh all of the costs? Do you consider the tradeoffs you're making? If so, you are assessing the opportunity cost. To borrow an example from history, Cowen asks whether the Great Wall of China was a good or bad idea. It was intended to keep China safe from invasion and certainly there were benefits. But it required a lot of labor (as many as 800,000 people working on it!) and was extremely expensive to build. There were benefits but also very significant tradeoffs. Examples of tradeoffs and opportunity cost are all around us.
