So far, the patents granted by the EPO were not endorsed by the European Union and had thus a limited effect in Europe – the EPO operating as an independent entity auto-financed by the patents granted to its clients, mainly big industries, with no democratic control whatsoever.
Patent trolls indeed became a top priority issue in 2013, as the number of 'non tech' businesses being attacked started growing – advertisers, banks, restaurants, shops. This led to the adoption of the Innovation Act by the United States House of Representatives, which was applauded by civil society as a major step towards patent reform.
In truth, trolling practices are not the exclusive bastion of NPEs, but no more and no less than the daily routine of major corporations – eventually hiding behind a separate legal structure.
Whereas Europe and United States are still highly suffering from the gangrene caused by the patent microcosm, the New Zealand government took a rather courageous decision by cutting off the sick limb, banning software patents once and for all from its territory. Amendments to the Patents Bill were voted accordingly to clarify its legislation, showing the way towards a sustainable digital industry.

I've already sent a Facebook message around, but I'm posting it here as well. How does the evening of Saturday, October 11th sound to everyone? I should be working that day, but I'll be getting off around 7:00 so it wouldn't be an issue. Let me know how that works for you, because I'm hoping to make this next session awesome!
Getting out of work at 7 today. ill be heading over soon after.


Serious problems can result from bad horse feed packaging. Mould growth can happen in the field (plant-pathogenic) as well as throughout processing and storage. Mould together with heating and moisture content can originate mycotoxins and that's a serious danger.
Due to the low rate on water vapor and oxygen transmission, the VacQPack liner promises a good performance against such dangers, even on the harshest temperature and humidity conditions.
The overall outcome is a prolonged shelf life over the standard paper or polyethylene bags.
In fact, most of horse feed manufacturers recommend its consumption on the first 30 to 60 days. VacQPack system can enlarge such lifespan, targeting and even overcoming that timeframe expectation, and at the same time, it can also deliver a product with the same sensorial attributes as it was once packaged.
This bio treatment packaging system is also designed to be opened and resealed for cargo removable and sampling. The process can be performed multiple times on warehouse environments, taking more profit from the investment.

Residential letting specialists Linley & Simpson is offering tenants the rare chance to follow in historical footsteps - after being appointed to handle the rental of a well-known Yorkshire manor house.
Farnley Hall, a stately Grade 1 listed property nestling in some of the Wharfe Valley's most picturesque countryside, was originally the home of Walter Fawkes - an MP in the 1800s and a distant relative of Guy Fawkes.
Now a new chapter in the life of the imposing four-bedroomed furnished property beckons - as it becomes available for let at £1,950 per month through the Ilkley office of Linley & Simpson.
Branch manager Jon Graham said: "This is one of the most illustrious homes we have been invited to let. It offers a rare opportunity for someone to experience its unique heritage first-hand, and follow in the historical footsteps of its past residents
"Dating from the Jacobean period, the property is steeped in 400 years of history - but alongside the stone mullioned windows and original features, there is no shortage of modern amenities.
"It holds tremendous appeal for people looking to rent a piece of history, particularly families, and we expect there to be significant interest in the property."

John Edwards: He Was Always the One To Watch
Terence Samuel
Eric Thayer/Getty Images
I thought John Edwards would be president one day. I was wrong.
The once-promising political career has all but disintegrated. Edwards appears on the verge of admitting he is the father of a child he once denied. Raleigh's WRAL first reported that Edwards was inching toward reversing his denials about the paternity of the child of his former lover, Reille Hunter. Then the New York Times weighed in with a front-page story about the "denoument" of the Edwards affair. "Mr. Edwards is moving toward an abrupt reversal in his public posture," the Times said. "Associates said in interviews that he is considering declaring that he is the father of Ms. Hunter's 19-month-old daughter, something that he once flatly asserted in a television interview was not possible." And then there is the book proposal by his aide, Andrew Young, who says that Edwards asked him to claim paternity of the child.
It's sordid, and it's sad. It's heartbreaking to watch the public wreckage of what once seemed a durable marriage and a perhaps presidential political career. John Edwards is one of the smartest people I've ever met. He's worked hard at what he cares about, but this particular tragedy seems so willfully self-inflicted, especially since John Edwards should have know n better.
In 1999, when Edwards arrived as a freshman senator, Washington was consumed by damning consequences of personal indiscretions. The sitting president had been impeached and was about to face trial in the Senate because he'd had an affair with an intern. Because of his reputation as a trial lawyer, among the first of Edwards' tasks was to depose Monica Lewinsky for the defense in the impeachment trial of Bill Clinton. He had a front-row seat to the cascading ugliness that occurs when private misdeeds become public political theater.
But Clinton's acquittal may have confirmed for Edwards that escape was always possible. He was a trial lawyer, after all, and one with a reputation for winning against long odds. That can give you a little bit of a Houdini complex, a sense that danger will never turn to disaster—especially if you are smart, and well prepared, and people like you.
The idea that he would allegedly ask a staffer to claim paternity for his child is the indelible mark of an outsized and unhinged ego—the work of a mind on the outs of reality. My guess, if this is indeed true, is that he was doing what he has always done: Trying to figure out how to work the damning or unhelpful parts of the story into a more salable whole.
After all, this approach had worked so many times before. Juries had sided with him; voters had elected him; John Kerry put him on a national ticket. It had made him rich and famous. Edwards was one of only three new Democratic senators elected in 1998 (the others were Evan Bayh of Indiana and Chuck Schumer of New York). Republicans were in the majority by a 10-seat margin. The impeached Democratic president had humiliated himself and his wife and embarrassed his party. These new senators were the future of the party; Edwards was clearly the star of the trio. It was still widely assumed that Democrats would need to nominate a Southerner if they ever wanted to win the White House again.
He was a 45-year-old hotshot who came with the entire package—the dazzling good looks, the personal charisma, the all-American family—and the moving personal story replete with the age-old American themes of poverty conquered and tragedy overcome. Three years earlier, his 16-year-old son, Wade, had been killed in a freak accident. The Edwardses looked like healthy people who had faced down their tragedy. He was on everyone's watch list.
After serving less than two years in the Senate, he was on Al Gore's short list for vice president in 2002. Gore gave him a long, close look before deciding that it would be irresponsible to choose someone so untested. Untested maybe, but Edwards acted like a man cramming for a big final—or preparing for a big closing argument. Edwards talked to everyone and anyone who knew anything about Washington and how it worked; he was constantly on the make. I remember watching him operate at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, amazed at his appetite for consuming information of any kind. He seemed to be always researching, always in prep mode. That's why I thought one day he'd be president. I wonder if he's prepared for what comes next.

ConCourt reinstate Land Claims Court order to appoint a Special Master for Labour Tenants.
August 20, 2019 /0 Comments/in Land News /by AFRA
Today we celebrate an important victory for some of the most neglected citizens of our country in the penultimate Court in our land. Judge Cameron, in his final judgement handed down today in the Constitutional Court, finds that the Land Claims Court acted within its remit when it ordered that a Special Master be appointed to oversee the implementation of the Land Reform (Labour Tenants) Act, after Government failed since the dawn of democracy to fully implement this important legislation. Labour Tenants have been waiting far, far too long to have their claims to land settled, and now a new legal instrument will provide greater capacity for the Court to oversee the effective implementation of this Act, to realise the Constitutional rights of labour tenants.
In handing down judgement to a full court this morning, Judge Cameron said,
"The outer limits of a remedy are bounded only by justice and equity. It may come in various shapes and forms dictated by the many and varied manifestations of what kind of remedy may [be] called for. In that case the court should be wary not to self-censor. It should do justice in the court of equitable remedy to those before it, as it is empowered to do.
In the view of the majority of this court, the land claims court directed itself properly and scrupulously to the facts before it, in appointing the special master. These show failing institutional functionality of an extensive and sustained degree. That cried out for a remedy.
It recognises our joint responsibility, as a country, for sustaining and growing and strengthening our institution. It acknowledges our judicial complicity in institutional and systemic dysfunction that continues to impede our attainment, of our shared constitutional aspirations and goals."

Shop Montez Bros
It began at Villa Montez…
Carlos and Mundo Villapudua
Open six days a week, Villa Montez, located in Tyler, Texas, serves Latin cuisine in a historic mansion with an amazing view.
The house-turned-restaurant was built in 1935 on a hill with a view by Malisa and Ras Pool after becoming wealthy from oil found on the land of both families. The Pool's bought the land from Judge Perry from its current location of Old Henderson Highway and East Fifth Street.
Perry agreed to the sale on one condition: they could never get rid of a certain giant rock on the property. Ras described it as a large rock shaped like Texas that forms a hollow space on one side. Perry told them he used to trap rabbits in that space and that kept him from going hungry sometimes. The family agreed to keep the rock, which is still there today, so the land, about 25 acres, was sold to them. Otis Eaton, a builder from Old London, was the man who constructed the house. He took instructions from Malisa Pool who had a strong creative vision and sense of style. At a cost of $37,000, the Pools built the house on the hill and moved in it the spring of 1936.
With three floors and five bedrooms, the house was considerably larger than some of the others the family had lived in. One bedroom was on the ground floor, three bedrooms were upstairs and one was in the basement.
In 1993, Giuseppe Cassini and his wife, Laura, bought the house and turned it into a restaurant and club called Mansion on the Hill. For more than a decade, they operated the restaurant.
In 2007, brothers Carlos and Mundo Villapudua opened Villa Montez.
Carlos said the house presented a stunning visual from the street and the history adds to its intrigue because many people can tell it was once a residence and ask questions about it.
Today, the ground floor is used for dining and a bar. Upstairs, there are private rooms for dining and a terrace. The basement is today called "The Cave at Villa Montez."
Montez Brothers also own and operate 1836 Texas Kitchen in Tyler, Texas.

Tendenze delle patologie asbesto-correlate: analisi di una casistica clinica
Occupational and environmental asbestos exposure continues to represent a public health problem, despite increasingly restrictive laws adopted by most industrialized countries. We present 75 subjects with past asbestos exposure (66 males, 9 females; mean age: 62 years), who came to our observation from November 2000 to May 2006, as outpatients (n = 58) or day-hospital cases (n = 17). Fiftysix subjects had been exposed to asbestos occupationally, and 10 in the general environment. In 9 cases the exposure had been combined (occupational and environmental). At least one asbestos-related pathological condition was diagnosed in 36 patients: 16 cases of pleural plaques, 9 of asbestosis (with pleural plaques in 6 patients), 10 of pleural mesothelioma, 1 of peritoneal mesothelioma. Our case record indicates that, although asbestos is banned in Italy since 1992, asbestos-related diseases continue to be commonly observed in the clinical practice. Worrisome is the individuation of 7 cases of mesothelioma (one of them peritoneal). This finding agrees with epidemiological projections suggesting that the mortality from pleural mesothelioma in Western Europe each year will almost double until around 2018. Thus, sanitary and epidemiologic surveillance of people ex-exposed to asbestos should continue, to identify and treat the long latency cases, and to evaluate the effects of low doses exposures.

We present 75 subjects with past asbestos exposure (66 males, 9 females; mean age: 62 years), who came to our observation from November 2000 to May 2006, as outpatients (n = 58) or day-hospital cases (n = 17).

Regulatory compliance requirements are increasing across a broad range of industries. Between new regulations and changes to existing rules, many organizations are struggling just to keep up with the scope and depth of compliance. What was once a yearly review and assessment has become a daily effort to ensure that all processes and systems meet the latest regulatory requirements.
This is due in large part to the ever-increasing threat of a security breach. Regulations mandate baseline security controls that can help prevent the theft or compromise of sensitive data. As compliance demands increase, however, so do the risks associated with noncompliance, from lawsuits and heavy fines to brand erosion and lost trust.
The mere mention of regulatory requirements is enough to keep IT staff up at night – literally. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and other standards require the continual monitoring of IT systems and networks to prevent, detect and minimize the impact of a security breach. Overstretched IT teams lack the bandwidth to keep up with these requirements. Furthermore, few organizations have the in-house skills and expertise to manage compliance, resulting in inefficient processes.
Although regulatory compliance is critical, it's not a core business function. Compliance may help you prevent a lawsuit, but it doesn't generate revenue or help you serve your customers. Nevertheless, personnel and resources must be dedicated to compliance, which increases operational costs, hampers productivity and distracts IT teams from initiatives that drive the business forward.
More and more companies are overcoming the increasingly complex regulatory burden by outsourcing compliance-related business functions and processes to a managed services provider (MSP). These tasks can include the monitoring of systems and processes, management of security systems and control, and internal and external reporting.
Compliance outsourcing allows you to take advantage of the MSP's expertise, proven processes based on best practices, and robust IT security and reporting tools. Outsourcing not only improves compliance but also reduces the risk of a security breach. At the same time, internal personnel, resources and budgets can be allocated to core business processes and revenue-producing initiatives.
Managed services from SSD can improve the effectiveness and efficiency of regulatory compliance in a number of ways. We monitor and proactively manage your network and ensure that your security systems and controls follow best practices and meet industry standards. We find out about the latest threats as soon as they are detected and quickly deploy security patches to help keep your data safe.
SSD also employs a regulatory analyst who can help identify compliance gaps, manage changes to your environment, and develop a strategic plan for maintaining compliance. Because regulations are constantly evolving, he also keeps track of any new requirements that may impact your organization.
While your organization is responsible for ensuring regulatory compliance, you don't have to go it alone. Let SSD shoulder some of the compliance burden for your organization so you can better control costs, reduce risk, and focus on business activities that boost your bottom line.

Tasting: New Coke Zero Sugar vs. Old Coke Zero
By Jim Vorel | August 18, 2021 | 3:28pm
Photos via Coca-Cola Drink Features soft drinks
Is there anything that whips up the fervor of mistrust in the average consumer more than a recipe change to a monolithic soft drink? We're decades removed from the disaster of New Coke at this point, and it's still so deeply embedded in our cultural memory that it can make celebrity cameos in the likes of Netflix's Stranger Things. Consumers get deeply attached to brands with millions of dollars in marketing stacked behind them, and you can never count on an average consumer to be truly objective when tasting something new. People don't want new—not really. They may claim to want it, but what they really want 90% of the time is something comfortably familiar.
So yeah—any time a company like Coca-Cola announces in a high-profile way that they're giving a brand a major facelift and recipe tweak, they're going to be playing with fire. So it is with the newly rebranded and reformulated version of Coke Zero Sugar, which many fans still refer to as just "Coke Zero," despite the name having changed back in 2017. The recipe for Coke Zero was also tweaked then, four years ago, but this 2021 rebrand is significantly more daring in terms of the visual and flavor evolution of the product. Gone is the primarily black can, replaced with one where red is now the dominant color, offset by black font. It's a bit more simple a design, perhaps, but it's still easy to pick out in the soft drink aisle.
More importantly, though, how does the new version of Coke Zero taste? I figured I'm as good a person as any to answer this: Not only do I conduct spirits and beer tastings and drink reviews for Paste on a daily basis, but I've been an avid Coke Zero consumer for more than a decade. Somewhere around 2010, I waved goodbye to "full sugar" soft drinks and made the leap to zero calorie alternatives, deciding then (as now) that Coke Zero seemed like the closest approximation on the market to the soda that inspired it. To this day, this strikes me as true: Coke Zero tends to taste more like Coca-Cola Classic than the likes of Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi do to their parent brands. Is it a perfect likeness? Of course not, but you're never going to be able to emulate genuine sugar perfectly. That's just a reality of life that all of us have to accept.
Still, we can easily compare the NEW Coke Zero Sugar to the OLD Coke Zero Sugar, now that both of them are on the shelves at the same time during the nationwide rollout. So that's exactly what we did, as I poured a few Glencairn scotch glasses of Coke Zero and subjected them to a side-by-side tasting. Here are the results, which I found surprisingly pleasant.
Old Coke Zero Sugar (black can)
This is the standard Coke Zero I've been drinking fairly regularly—probably a few cans per week—for the last decade or so, whenever I have a particular hankering for "cola." It comes in the black-wrapped can initially devised to entice male consumers who were too afraid and emasculated to buy "Diet" Coke, although I was instead drawn to it for the fact that it promised to emulate the flavor of Coca Cola Classic more closely, without all the sugar and calories. And indeed, that's basically its claim to fame—it's a good facsimile for the original Coke, for people who don't want to consumer all that sugar.
Nosing this one today from my whiskey glass—which is a very amusing thing to do, and I recommend you try it sometime—the old Coke Zero is quite familiar. Compared with the new version, it seems a bit brighter to me, with a bit more of a citrus zest/juice vibe, mingled with the classic cola spices. Notably, the nose seems a little bit more muted compared to the new version of Coke Zero Sugar.
On the palate, this version of Coke Zero offers up a well-balanced blend of sweetness and hard-to-place spice flavors. The "natural flavors" of Coke have always been difficult to parse, but they're said to include the likes of vanilla, lime, orange, lemon, caramel, nutmeg, coriander and cinnamon. Nothing sticks out here too urgently, but in comparison to the new version it's perhaps not as assertive or bold. It is, however, very easy to drink.
Coke Zero Sugar 2021 (red can)
The new version of Coke Zero Sugar for 2021 comes in the red can with black lettering, and seems to be built around an ethos of being a bit more assertive—but rounded at the same time—in its flavors. It would seem that the company is trying to push Coke Zero even closer to the profile of the original Coca-Cola Classic, and I think they may actually be doing pretty well if this is the aim.
On the nose, this new Coke Zero Sugar is similar, but the spice notes seem a bit more effusive. It results in an aroma that would be fairly described as a little bit more complex.
The same thing holds true on the palate—everything has been subtly cranked up in comparison with the old Coke Zero. It feels a bit sweeter initially, with the cola spices being somewhat more assertive, which I happen to enjoy. The profile feels a bit fuller and more rounded—less angular than the old Coke when tasting the two back to back. It is perhaps somewhat less refreshing than other other Coke Zero, but I would expect that to be accurate if the flavor is even closer to Coca-Cola Classic, which has always been more syrupy. I'm getting more pronounced flashes of specific flavors such as vanilla and cherry here, which all in all makes this version more interesting to drink than the previous one.
Now, I'm sure that some consumers will characterize any change, such as additional sweetness, as something that makes the new Coke Zero Sugar saccharine or undrinkable, but bear in mind that the way I consumed Coke is primarily in tiny, 7.5 oz cans. I'm alright with that drink being a little bit more decadent than it was before, because I'm not downing these one Big Gulp at a time. If you guzzle Coke Zero, perhaps the sweetness would become more undesirable over time, but from my end I actually believe I prefer this new version to the old. That's not exactly what I was expecting to conclude—and it's rarely popular to praise the "new recipe" of anything—but I'll stand by this particular opinion. The new version of Coke Zero Sugar is worthy in its own way.

Talented Caldicot apprentice shortlisted at Monmouthshire Business Awards
Events & AwardsMonmouthshire
By Rhys Gregory On Aug 8, 2019
Danny Hodges at work
Share FacebookTwitterWhatsAppPinterestEmailLinkedinPrint
Bricklaying apprentice, Danny Hodges, has been shortlisted for Apprentice of the Year at this year's Monmouthshire Business Awards.
Danny, a bricklaying apprentice from Caldicot, has been with Y Prentis since October 2018. Prior to this, Danny was studying towards his Level 1 Diploma in Brickwork at Coleg Gwent and used as a lot of his free time to gain practical experience, labouring for Rob Moore ltd and Saysell Construction. Following successful completion of his college course, he enrolled onto a Level 2 Diploma and NVQ in Brickwork and successfully secured an apprenticeship with Y Prentis.
Speaking about his shortlist announcement, Danny Hodges said, "It's great to be shortlisted at the Monmouthshire Business Awards and recognised for my work. When I was young, I spent some time working for a builder and I enjoyed my time there so much that I wanted to pursue a trade too. I started by doing some labouring in my free time to try out various roles and enjoyed bricklaying the most. I love what I do and being outdoors, so it's a bonus that I get to do that most days."
Since being with the scheme, Danny has fully embraced the shared-apprenticeship model. He has worked with contractors such as CJ Construction, Morgan Sindall and Jehu Group and has learnt a range of techniques that he has developed throughout his apprenticeship. He is currently working on Candleston Home's housing development in Abergavenny.
Scott Rooks, Commercial Director of Candleston Homes, said, "It's great to see that our Coed Glas development in Abergavenny is not only benefiting those trying to get onto the property ladder, but providing training opportunities for local people who are starting out their career in construction. There is an apparent skills shortage across the south-east region, so it's great that we're able to support the development of local talent to help meet the demands of this rapidly growing industry. We couldn't be more pleased for Danny and wish him all the best on the night."

Danny is focused on his career ahead, demonstrating a passion and craftsmanship to those he works with. He has gone above and beyond his day-to-day responsibilities, proactively supporting Y Prentis to promote the benefits of an apprenticeship to the next generation.
Adrian Huckin, Director of Innovation, Culture & Improvement at Melin Homes and Director of Y Prentis, said, "Y Prentis was set up to create training opportunities for people across the south-east region and to meet the increasing demand for local job opportunities. Since 2012, we have supported 77 apprentices within Monmouthshire and the surrounding areas. Huge congratulations to Danny for being shortlisted for such a prestigious award. He has proven himself to have a fine craftmanship in bricklaying and I wish him good luck at the awards."
The winner will be announced at the Monmouthshire Business Awards which will take place at the Celtic Manor on Friday 4 October.

Q: Why the function I pass to another component is undefined? What I'm trying to do is to show a modal(which asks if you want to delete the client, yes or no) when the user deletes a client, and to do that I have passed the function as props to the modal component, when the user clicks yes, the delete function is triggered.
ClientList.js
export default function ListClients() {
 const [showModal, setShowModal] = useState();
 const [userlist, setUserlist] = useState([]);

   function deleteClient() {
       const userParams = {
          clientName:
        clientName,
          country: country,
          clientid: selectedID,
        };

       axios
          .delete(process.env + "client", {
        data: clientParams,
          })
          .then((response) => {
        setClientlist(clientlist.filter((client) => client.id !== clientId));
          })
          .catch((error) => {
        console.log(error);
          });
  }

return(

        {userlist.length > 0 ? (
           userlist.map((userlist) => (

                      {userlist.id}

                  <button type="button" onClick= {() =>setShowModal(true) }>
                      Delete
                  </button>
                 </td

         //the idea is to pass the  state for modal to show
<ModalDelete showModal={showModal} setShowModal={setShowModal} onDel={() => deleteClient(clientlist.id)}/>

);
ModalDelete.js

Modal.js
export default function ModalDelete({ showModal, setShowModal,onDel }) {

console.log(onDel)

return(

    { showModal ? <Transition.Root show={showModal}>

 Are you sure you want to delete the client?

        <button type="button" onClick={() => {onDel(); setShowModal(false);}>Yes</button>

        <button type="button" onClick={() => {setShowModal(false);}} >
            Go Back
         </button>

    </Transition.Root> : null }

);
}

So when I console log the onDel in my console it shows that is undefined. Which means nothing is passed.
Is there a way how to pass the function?

A: I believe there is no issue from React side but after looking to code seems broken for the delete function, as i can see you are sending a param clientlist.id while calling the onDel, hence your deleteClient function must pass all criteria required so that it should not return undefind. try to fix this code may be your issue will get resolved, one more thing while opening the delete modal you must store this clientListId to a new state so that same can be accessed from the local state, because there is no method defind to store current clicked item from user list

Miso Glazed Buddha Bowl - Blas y Tir Recipes!
A bowl full of delicious colours, textures and flavours, this Buddha Bowl from Simply Food By Mandy is a brilliant mid-week meal or wholesome weekend lunch. Individual components such as roasted aubergine, roasted cauliflower and pan-fried savoy cabbage mingle together to create a fantastic flavour combination in this dish, but would work brilliantly as a veggie side dish for a simple supper!
You can find out more about food blogger SimplyFoodbyMandy by visiting her Instagram and popping onto her website!
Mix all the marinade ingredients together in a bowl and leave to mingle.
Score the inside of the aubergine halves in a diamante shape, just over 1cm deep, being careful not to go all the way through. Pop the halves onto a baking tray, inside flesh facing up. Smear a teaspoon of marinade on each half of the aubergine, rubbing it into the scoring and covering the flat surface. Season with a little pepper and drizzle with a little oil. Cover with foil and roast at 210°C for 30 minutes.
Whilst the aubergine is cooking, coat the cauliflower florets in 1 teaspoon of the marinade, loosened with a little oil. Transfer onto a baking tray and season with a little salt & pepper before roasting in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
Remove the tin foil from the aubergine and cook for a further 10 minutes.
Whilst the aubergine and cauliflower florets are in the oven, pan fry the seasoned savoy cabbage in a little oil until golden and just turning soft. Add 1 tsp of the marinade to the pan, stirring and coating the cabbage. Warm the cabbage through and turn off the heat.
Cook the noodles or rice according to the packet instructions.
Remove the aubergine and cauliflower florets from the oven and allow to cool slightly before building your Buddha Bowl.
Plate up as pictured (aubergine, cauliflower, avocado, rice noodles/rice, savoy cabbage). Add a little lime juice to any remaining marinade. Sprinkle the bowl with chilli, spring onions, sesame seeds, almonds and coriander and drizzle with the remaining marinade mixture.
You can use any vegetables you may have in your fridge or cupboards to help build your Buddha Bowl. Why not try mini roasted potatoes, leeks or broccoli?

Chip Shots

Signing day and basketball
West Virginia University football coach Neal Brown will sign his first recruiting class today, the 18th of December as 16 prospects are expected to sign with the Mountaineers in the early signing period. WVU will round out the recruiting season in February during the traditional signing period. The current class is ranked 38th nationally, but if you average out the star ratings of each of the players WVU can claim the 27th spot. For an even more positive twist, there are only two schools with 16 or fewer commitments rated higher than WVU.
Recruiting is the lifeblood of college football programs, but the thing to remember is, it is not how high a class is rated now, but how well those in it are playing in a year or two.
I personally don't follow recruiting that closely, but I am reading from those who do, that Brown and his staff are recruiting to their needs very well, and that the final ranking for this class when all is said and done in February will probably be higher. In any event I'll chime in on the results of Wednesday's signings when I return in January.
By then the men's basketball team will have wrapped up the non-conference portion of their schedule after a two game Ohio swing over the holidays. West Virginia seemed to right the ship following their loss to St. Johns with lopsided wins over Austin Peay and Nicholls State last week. The Mountaineers' record is now 9-1.
WVU will play at Youngstown State this Saturday at 1 p.m. Word is WVU agreed to play this game in Youngstown as a favor to Penguins coach Jerrod Calhoun, who was a former WVU assistant coach, Director of Basketball Operations and a friend of Bob Huggins. Calhoun also had a successful head coaching stint at Fairmont State where he took the Fighting Falcons to the 2017 Division II National Championship game. This is the only West Virginia game this season that will not be televised or streamed, so it will be a Tony Caridi day for the audio only.
West Virginia will then have eight days off before meeting Ohio State on December 29 in Cleveland for the aptly named Cleveland Classic. The Buckeyes were undefeated, ranked in the top five and riding high before being derailed Sunday in Minnesota. OSU will still likely be a top 10 team on the 29th, though they do play Kentucky this Saturday. The game tips at noon on FS1 and will be followed by a game pitting Marshall against Duquesne.

... couple of months, wait for mouth to heal, and then have the 2 shot?
An interesting question, I will be interested to read any answers.
I am 79 and two days in on my Prolia injection, I have been putting it off for fear of side effects!! however I "bit the bullet" so there I am.
Still no side effects, fingers crossed, still have not found out about dental work while on prolia.
I haven't taken any meds for my recently diagnosed osteoporosis & I also am afraid of the side effects.
I also am concerned about how long you need to go off these meds before it's safe to have dental work???
I really wish someone from Drugs.Com could answer us!
I will keep checking here for a answer!!!
How long do you have to be off these meds before having dental work?
And how long do you have to wait before you start them back up again?
I really am hoping someone can help with these questions because I am very concerned about it.
Thank you in advance for any answers you can give.
I would suggest that you ask your dentist.
Yes, I know I can ask my dentist, I was just hoping to hear from people here who may have experienced this situation themselves.
I have had two prolia shots. The last one was March 2017. Went to my dentist in October 2017. Had 2 teeth capped. Also, needed a back tooth pulled. Was sent to a dental surgeon. Would not touch me. Said to have the tooth packed and try living with it as long as possible. He also said that one of his patients had been off of prolia for 4 and 1/2 years. Had a tooth pulled. He ended up with the condition caused by prolia that no one wants. Now my tooth is starting to hurt and sores breaking out on the inside of my cheek. The old thing of ""between a rock and a hard spot.
What was the condition that the man ended up with? Please let us know!! Thank you for your answer on this important topic.
I needed dental surgery for an infection in the root canal. When I told my surgeon that I had had one Prolia injection 4.5 years ago, she was very wary of operating on me, but the surgery was necessary and she did do the surgery. Everything went well. I do not remember ANY warnings about dental work when I got the injection. And I didn't ask her if that meant that any surgery could be a problem. Maybe it was.
If I remember correctly some of the side effects are jaw pain and deterioration of the jaw.
Yes. I was aware of those side effects when I got the injection. But there was nothing about hazards with surgery.
I have had 4 Prolia shots last year. I needed a tooth pulled so they sent me to a surgeon. I had the tooth pulled and had no problems.
Sorry, 4 shots in the last 2 years, I don't believe they would give you 4 in one year. That would be a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Oh thank goodness! I had read somewhere though that this was originally created to treat bone cancer and was given bi-weekly. Can you imagine?
I also have been on Prolia for some time. Within the past 2 months I had a dental extraction via oral surgery. My oral surgeon was aware that I was on Prolia and asked about when I received my most recent injection. Since it had been approximately 5 months, he proceeded with the extraction and then advised my endocrinologist accordingly. Basically, my Prolia injection was delayed about a month until my mouth healed. So I would suggest having your medical provider be in contact with your dental provider and proceed accordingly. For most, dental procedures should not be a big deal.
Any problems w/taking Prolia and having dental braces as an adult?
Can you have dental extractions after have Prolia?
I had my first prolia injection in Feb 2018. Now I have dental pain and tenderness in my teeth?

Arctic Shield 2012 - Testing 'Awesome' Amphibious Craft (One Developed in Ketchikan) / Senators Visit (photos/video)
Date: Aug. 15, 2012
USCG D17 External Affairs - BARROW, Alaska – Personnel from the 17th Coast Guard District and the Coast Guard Office of Boat Forces are assisting the Coast Guard Research and Development Center in conducting evaluations on some Arctic craft in Barrow Aug. 13-17, 2012.
As the Coast Guard's role above the Arctic Circle expands, boats, or vessels smaller than 65-feet long, capable of operating in icy conditions are becoming necessary to accomplish parts of the Coast Guard's statutory missions.
"We're looking for a craft that is capable of transiting through and over ice and ice-strewn water," said Rich Hansen, a Branch Chief at the Coast Guard Research and Development Center, in New London, Conn. "We're also looking for shallow water capability, and the ability to operate in areas with minimal infrastructure. Ideally we would like to find something that could be flown in on Coast Guard aircraft in the event of an incident requiring our response."
The Center solicited industry participation through a Broad Agency Announcement earlier this year.
During the one-week evaluation, the Coast Guard personnel on scene will document the demonstrations for assessment by the Coast Guard Research and Development Center.
"This demonstration is only evaluating potential technologies that may provide improved capabilities in the arctic environment," said Hansen. "The information gained will be used by the Coast Guard to explore its options for operating in this challenging environment."
At this time there is not an active acquisition activity for either of the craft being observed.
Arktos Developments personnel drive their amphibious craft onto an ice floe during a demonstration for the Coast Guard 10 miles off the coast of Barrow, Alaska, Aug. 13, 2012.

英文要約 Coal is the largest source of fossil fuel and the most stable energy due to the distributed stock in the world. Japan is the world's biggest importer of coal and Indonesia is the second coal supply country for Japan. About 60% of Indonesia's coal is low rank coal which has been not yet developed. Recently in Indonesia, the domestic production of oil and natural gas has been decreased. It becomes more important to utilize the low rank coal. Lignite and brown coals are classified as low rank coals. The characteristics of these coals are higher moisture levels, lower energy content and low carbon content. Thus, the application of these coals is limited. In these situations, Japan could contribute to the economic growth and environmental improvement for Indonesia through Japanese Clean Coal Technology (CCT), which may lead to make coal a more cost effective and supply stable resource for Japan and Indonesia.
The feasibility study for coal gasifiered to SNG and EOR combined plant using the low rank coal in South Sumatra Indonesia was carried out in this report.
Firstly, the low rank coal to SNG process included gasification technology and coal drying technology was studied and block flow diagram and simplified utility consumption was studied. And plant capital cost was estimated. The sensitive analysis to SNG product price was studied based on the coal price / the plant capital price / CO2 Off take price / CO2 Credit price.
Secondly, the actual gasifiered test was conducted on the pilot-scale plant using actual South Sumatera low rank coal. The synthesis gas from the low rank coal was verified by Gasification test.
Lastly, CO2 EOR/CCS Screening Study around potential coal mine was studied. The reduction methodology of CO2 for Indonesia SNG/EOR plant was studied.
The results of these studies were summarized as follows and these results show that the project of SNG-EOR plant in Indonesia South Sumatra is possible to become feasible.
・Coal to SNG/EOR process was made using the South Sumatera low rank coal. There is enough possibility to build SNG/EOR plant in South Sumatera low rank coal mine according to site survey investigation and pre-design of Utility facility for SNG plant.
・The product price of SNG is 10 $/MMBtu calculated by sensitive analysis. This price is equivalent to import LNG CIF price and Indonesia's Gas Company has intention to buy in this price level.
・As for the above SNG price 10 $/MMBtu, it includes 10 $/ton- CO2as CO2 credit incentive. If CO2 credit incentive is not considered, SNG price rises to 10.8 $/MMBtu. The utilization of BOCM methodology between Japan and Indonesia is important for this SNG to reduce SNG price.
・Coal gasification test was completed successfully. Slag was discharged very stable. No unburned carbon fell down from slag hole.
・Initial CO2 EOR/CCS Screening Study around the potential low rank coal mine was completed. The study was screening of oil fields in South Sumatra Basin of 100km radius of SNG Plant. The study collected data of 124 oil fields in the radius. 74 of reservoirs show CO2 /EOR miscible flooding.
・The reduction potential volume of CO2 was calculated and the methodology of CO2 reduction for Indonesia SNG/EOR plant was summarized. Possible CO2 Reduction volume in this plant will be about 6.29 M t/y.

Garry Monk sacked: Former Swansea and Leeds United boss axed by Birmingham as ex-Swans coach placed in charge
The former Swans boss is now without a club after being sacked by Birmingham
Tom Coleman
Former Swansea City boss Garry Monk has been sacked by Birmingham City.
Rumours around the 40-year old's future have circulated for the last few days, but the Blues confirmed the decision to part company with their boss on Tuesday afternoon.
Monk leaves the club having guided the Blues to 17th in the Championship last season, despite the club suffering a nine-point deduction for breaking Financial Fair Play guidelines.
However, the St Andrew's hierarchy have nevertheless opted for a change.
In a statement, the club said the decision to part with Monk was in the "long-term interests of the club", adding that the Board of Directors was keen to "drive the club forward and challenge for promotion".
The Swansea City player with a huge point to prove to himself, Steve Cooper and Sunderland
The statement continued: "The Board of Directors are hopeful that over time the team can adopt a fresh and modern footballing philosophy, whilst maintaining the Club's core values.
"As part of an overall review of club operations, we will also seek to enhance our recruitment and scouting strategy.
"We have faced significant challenges in relation to Profitability and Sustainability regulations and whilst we will improve our squad and be competitive in the market – the club's owners are committed to continued investment - we will do so sensibly and effectively.
"The club has a pool of talented players and those emerging via the Academy and Under-23s will be embraced, even more so than before. We are certain these young players – as those in our first team already - will be hungry to succeed as we begin a new chapter.
"The Board of Directors feel that it is vitally important for everybody at the Club to be sharing the same vision and commitment to the plans and processes."
Pep Clotet, Monk's assistant, has been installed as the club's new boss with immediate effect, with backroom staff members Sean Rush, Darryl Flahavan, Ryan Needs and James Beattie all set to stay on in his absence.

Searcher Tony dies
THE voice behind the sixties classic Sweets For My Sweet has died.
The Searchers' singer Tony Jackson had suffered from ill health for a number of years and died peacefully at his home yesterday morning.
Tony, 65, who grew up in Walton Vale, played bass and was lead vocalist with the Merseybeat group.
Bill Harry, Merseybeat expert, said: "It is very, very sad and a huge shock.
"Tony was, of course, most famous for singing Sweets For My Sweet, which John Lennon described as the greatest ever recording to come out of Liverpool.
"It is a very sad loss." The Searchers' debut single Sweets For My Sweet topped the UK hit parade in 1963 followed closely by Sugar and Spice, which reached number three.
In August 1964 Jackson left for a solo career and formed Tony Jackson and the Vibrations. The group had one hit, Bye Bye Baby.
On the proceeds of his career Tony retired from the music business and started a golf and leisure club, in Warwickshire, with his wife Linda.
In the 1990s Jackson moved to Nottingham and returned to the music business appearing on the Sixties' nostalgia circuit.
But he battled with arthritis, asthma and poor eyesight. His arthritis became so severe that he could no longer play his beloved guitar. He died of liver failure.
In 1996 Jackson was found guilty of possessing an imitation weapon and jailed but was released in 1997.


What are the 12 Promises?
The AA promises are found on pages 83-84 of Chapter 6, "Into Action" in Alcoholics Anonymous, (also known as the "Big Book") written by Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob. The 12 promises of AA are presented as part of working Step 9, which involves making amends.
What Are the 12 Promises of AA?
If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are halfway through. This promise states that people who complete the AA program and make a sincere effort will begin to see changes in their lives even before they are halfway done.
We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness. People who finish the steps will experience relief from the suffering of addiction and feel free to pursue a new life without alcohol.
We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it. Those who work the program will gain a sense of acceptance that allows them to process their experiences, learn from them, and move on without guilt.
We will comprehend the word serenity, and we will know peace. Addiction can lead to a constant state of inner turmoil. The AA program helps people find a calmness that is rare during active using, and that many addicts have never known in their lives.
No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others. Many addicts don't believe that other people understand what they've been through. But in AA, they often meet people who can identify with and learn from their experiences.
That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear. Addiction makes users feel worthless and guilty about their actions. The steps can give people a sense that their lives have a meaning and a purpose, particularly through helping others.
We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows. Addiction leads to many self-centered behaviors. Helping other people find recovery can bring addicts outside of themselves and help them develop a genuine interest in other people.
Self-seeking will slip away. The tunnel vision of focusing only on oneself and drinking usually begins to fade as people work the steps.
Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change. AA can shift one's perspective from hopeless to hope. People can begin to imagine a life where they are happy.
Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us. Alcoholics who recover through AA don't feel like they have to hide anymore or worry about how to support their addiction and maintain financial security.
We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us. As the AA member gets deeper into the recovery process, they begin to see situations more clearly and can tap into their inner resources.
We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves. The concept of a higher power is central to AA. This higher power, be it God or something else, becomes a guiding force in the person's life.
The AA promises provide inspiration and something to look forward to in sobriety, especially for struggling newcomers.
Feelings of freedom and happiness.
Renewed purpose or direction in life.
Less fear and/or financial worry.
The AA promises provide inspiration and something to look forward to in sobriety, especially for struggling newcomers. Part of the AA program involves getting a sponsor or another mature member to guide you through the 12 steps.
The Big Book mentions that the 12 promises are "Being fulfilled among us – sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly."1 Some AA members report that they experience the promises early on, while others experience them gradually. Because everyone's experience is unique, the 9th step promises can occur in different ways and at different times.
According to the Big Book, the 12 promises of AA "Materialize if we work for them."1 Through earnest effort, the promises can hold true.

This is our UK review of the popular Melitta SOLO & Perfect Milk E957-101, Bean to Cup Coffee machine. Overall online buyers have given this machine an average 80% buyer satisfaction rating.
If you have been investigating bean to cup coffee machines, then you will already know that these are never a cheap option. They can cost anything between £300-£2,000 depending on the brand and the range of features that you want to have on your machine.
The good news about this Melitta Solo model is that it does sit at the lower end of the price points, for this type of high end machine. This German brand is also well known when it comes to making these classes of higher end machines.
There are more than enough features on this machine to keep you interested in the many different types of coffee drinks that you can make if you own this. As you can see from the image below, this is a nice looking machine.
In this section we include a brief description of this machine just to give you a sense of what this bean to cup machine can actually do.
It is available in 4 colours which are black, silver/black, black/silver and silver. The colours are simply variations with the main change of colour being the body colour that you prefer. This machine has 3 different settings that allow you to change the actual strength of your coffee.
The water tank is 1.2 litres and the machine can make hot milk, hot water, espresso, Americano, cappuccino, and all the latte coffee drinks. It also has an automatic cleaning and descaling system built in that helps reduce the workload.
Below you will find a detailed review. For those who don't have time to read all of this, then we have put together a short summary review of this product just below.
For those who want or prefer to read more details, then please continue reading below.
Here we let you know just a little about the Melitta brand. This is a short section just to give you a little bit of information about the brand itself. They are an international and family-owned Melitta Group business who have been around for just over 100 years. They are a German brand.
They manufacture branded products for coffee enjoyment, for the storage and preparation of food, and for household cleanliness.
Just below you can read what buyers have to say about this particular Melitta model. It is one of their best sellers and has been so for quite some time. As you can see 7 out of every 10 buyers deem this machine worth a full 5 star rating, and the number of bad reviews is relatively low.
We shall of course still want to know why buyers leave a bad review so we have covered that off below in a pros and cons table. We find that a handy method to summarise the good and bad points about this machine.
To summarise what buyers said, those who left a bad review (around 7%) did so because they stated that the machine stopped working after a few months, and they had to get it replaced. That is clearly very annoying. The only consolation is that this only happened to a couple of buyers.
The contented and satisfied buyers liked the machine a lot, and said that it made excellent coffee. They also said it was easy to maintain and clean. They also thought it was very good value for money. It is at the lower end of the price point scale for this type of machine.
Many potential buyers like to know the full specification of the machine. This helps them decide if they have room for it on a counter top, what types of coffee the machine can make, and a range of other questions.
Knowing the specification helps answer a lot of buyer questions. So here it is.
This machine will make hot milk, cappuccino, hot water, espresso, Americano, cappuccino, latte macchiato, and lattes.
We have reviewed a lot of these bean to cup coffee machines. Melitta is a well known brand and they do make high quality products.
In this higher end range of coffee machines, the bean to cup is always the most expensive type to purchase. At around the £300-£350 price point we still consider that to be a lot of money.
However with reference to this model, it is still at the lower end of the price point for this range of machines. That is the main reason why buyers consider this one to be excellent value for your money.
So good value and also a very high quality build of a machine.
Buyers say this machine makes great tasting coffee, and it is easy to use. Most of the buyers don't actually use the steam or frother. Those that do stated that it worked really well. When compared to other machines of a similar nature, buyers said that this one was pretty quiet.
They also liked the way that this model was easy to use, and that the automatic cleaning saved them the time and hassle of having to do it manually.

Current Obsession: Soft Serve With Ooey Gooey Honeycomb At Honeymee
By Krista Simmons
Published Jun 3, 2014 12:00 AM
Photo by Krista Simmons/LAist
Call us nitpickers or details people, but it's the little things in life—and in the food world— that get us excited. Whether it be an off-the-wall menu item, a particularly stylish bathroom or a restaurant's signature scent, we get stoked on the minutiae that makes our dining scene unique. Consider this the sacred space where we feel safe to express our current obsessions and openly explore our favorite things.
This week, it's Honeymee's "true milk" soft serve with honeycomb.
What it is: Honeycomb ice cream has become a huge trend in South Korea, with chains like Softree taking off. The logo of Honeymee does look strangely like Softree's, actually, but from our Google stalking it seems like the honey at Honeymee is a bit lighter.
Honeymee only has four items on the menu, the best of which is their namesake—a creamy vanilla soft serve swirled into a small plastic cup and then topped with a gooey chunk of fresh honeycomb. It's definitely an indulgence, but there's a levity to it that doesn't leave you feeling like a glutton who needs to hit the confessional afterwards. Its subtle floral honey and not-at-all-icey soft serve are sure to be the subject of your summer food fantasies. It's the bees knees.
If you aren't into the idea of noshing on honeycomb, you can also try the "Sweetie," which is the same soft serve with honey ribbons (sans-beeswax) threaded throughout the swirl.
Why it's rad: If the photo didn't sell you on Honeymee, then the sheer simplicity should. In this case, that's decent dairy, proper churning, and a delicately sweet honeycomb. There are plenty of wonderful froyo shops in L.A., but great soft serve is harder to come by.
The signage and website boast "true milk," which we have yet to get to actually figure out the meaning of. None of the three of the three employees inside the old-timey kiosk knew what that meant exactly (or what brand of honey or milk the company used) and our email queries have yet to receive a response. There is a Vietnamese dairy called True Milk, so that's a possibility. It could also just mean that the soft serve is made with real milk and no fillers or substitutes. What we do know is that whatever "true milk" is, it makes amazing soft serve and you need to eat it now.
Where to find it: Honeymee is located inside the same K-Town strip mall that's home to Boiling Crab and Hangover, right next to the HMS Bounty on Wilshire Boulevard. They are open from noon-11 p.m. There is free 15 minute parking if you plan on a grab-and-go in the shopping center's lot off Alexandria Ave.
How much it'll cost you: The signature Honeymee is $4.75 for a cup. If you're feeling particularly carb-tastic, you can also purchase Babee buns, which are fresh baked buns with ice cream and honey, for $4-$5.25.

Q: Are variable-length arrays really not allowed in C90? I'm reading about VLAs in C Primer Plus, and this book strictly says that the introduction of VLAs to C began with the C99 standard. Whenever I attempt to declare a loop control variable within the header of a for loop, gcc informs me that this action only allowed in C99 mode. However, the following test code compiles and works (although it prints garbage variables, which is to be expected considering none of the array elements were initialized).
#include <stdio.h>

int main(){
    int x;
    int i = 9;
    int array[i];

    for(x = 0; x < i; x++)
        printf("%d\n", array[x]);

    return 0;
}

If I'm not in C99 mode, how could this possibly be legal?

A: The book is correct, variable length arrays have been supported since C99 and if you build with the following options:

gcc -std=c89 -pedantic

you will receive an warning:

warning: ISO C90 forbids variable length array 'array' [-Wvla]

If you want this to be an error you can use -pedantic-errors. gcc supported this as an extension before c99, you can build explicitly in c99 mode and you will see no errors:

gcc -std=c99 -pedantic

The Language Standards Supported by GCC pages goes into details about which standard gcc supports for C and it states that:

By default, GCC provides some extensions to the C language that on rare occasions conflict with the C standard

A:
If I'm not in C99 mode, how could this possibly be legal?

It's not. However, GCC allows it as a compiler extension.
You can force GCC to be strict about this by passing the -pedantic flag:
$ gcc -std=c89 -pedantic main.c
main.c: In function 'main':
main.c:6: warning: ISO C90 forbids variable-size array 'array'

A: "If I'm not in C99 mode, how could this possibly be legal?"
Compilers are permitted to have modes other than strict conformance to the C standard.
In effect, the C standard is just one specification. There is no law saying you must conform to it and no law saying a compiler developer must conform to it.
So a compiler is permitted to define its own variations on a language and to compile using its own specification or even a specification written by some third party.
More than that, the C standard defines the language to be extensible. There are many behaviors that an implementation is permitted to define while remaining conforming with the C standard. The C standard even specifies that a conforming program is any program acceptable to a conforming implementation. This means that a program that uses a compiler extension is still a conforming C program (in the absence of any other issues). (However, it is not a strictly conforming program; those are programs that do not use extensions.)


Debunking 3 common myths to choose the right SEO Services Auckland!
You have just opened a business and now your primary task is to hire a professional search engine optimization firm to take care of marketing needs of your business. You decided to browse your way through by typing "SEO Services Auckland (that's where we suppose you are located at). Now, you have list of hundreds of SEO service firms screaming "hire me". What's your next step? How do you suppose to choose the right SEO services? Every SEO services Auckland firm is promising to deliver you top ranking on search engines, how do you intent to relate to their promises?
Ok, this isn't a new topic and you will find various blogs and articles addressing this issue. What we really want to discuss in this blog is to negate some commonly prevailing myths in choosing the right SEO agency. We think it is important because most start-ups or small businesses fall for these myths that translate into loss of time and crucial capital (that might be lethal for small businesses). So, let's debunk some common myths of choosing the best SEO services.
To start with, the aesthetics of web design has nothing to do with SEO services. Probably if you were looking for a firm that can handle your web design simultaneously with marketing needs, you might opt to take this into consideration. However, since you are mere looking for a search engine marketing firm, a company doesn't qualify as the best business merely on the basis of its aesthetically pleasing web design.
Hypothetically this might be an quantitative advantage of a SEO services firm to rank high on Google for a particular area, but you got to remember there are other variables into play here. In fact, if you aren't really into it, there is an entire separate branch for search engine marketing known as local SEO, which take into account various geographical elements to rank a business higher in SERPs. So, if an SEO services Auckland firm rank high in Google, it might be due to their geographical proximity to your area or they might have a really old domain (which also contribute to higher organic ranking for business websites).
Ok, a large business doesn't really guarantee great service. Alternatively, their massive revenue stream might be because of strong funding, or strategic partnerships, something that has nothing to do with proficiency in search engine optimization. Besides, bigger isn't always better, because even if this large flashy firm is really good in doing the stuff, they might not be suited for your small budget. Even, if you somehow manage your finances, going after such massive firms can backfire in terms of customer experience (they already have huge business and they really don't care if you stay with them or not).
What is the difference between insolvency, bankruptcy and liquidation?

Q: Ajax get me cambia el protocolo de http a https Quizás la pregunta sea básica, pero no estoy encontrando el porqué.
Estoy intentando hacer una llamada get mediante jquery ajax, la URL tiene el protocolo HTTP pero cuando hago click al botón que ejecuta la llamada, me cambia el protocolo a HTTPS.
¿Hay forma de prevenir esto?


when will you (TL) release the next heavily overdue "free weekly update", as advertised?
I've resigned myself to the fact that the only updates we are going to get are cases on the holidays that only require city cash. Next update will likely be around Easter.
I don't even know why I save up my coins any more, they don't release any content that I can use them for.
TL has obviously abandoned their games and now these kids (TL) concentrate on spending the money they got from the unexpected success from their games.
Very childish and totally unprofessional!
Hello my neighbor. They think we should proceed with ther endless ... Story games and spend money there. However, frankly I don't understand how one can spend 5$ on some blah-blah-blah case and get a piece of . For the same money you can get a very nice application with regular updates! And not some static image, usually duplicate and bad quality... As long as there are such people, team lava will never respect their customers I suppose.
Especially after they just yesterday released another  "game" (Treasure Story).
I got enough of this . I'll start today to write a competing product WITH weekly updates and lots of features in it that TL never ever dares to put into it.
So, goodbye! From now on I'm competition!
Yes, and I already have apps in the store.
CS was a nice game in the beginning and it would have made fun if there were the promised updates and something to forward to. But there is nothing to look forward to. TL does not keep their promises and they continue to lie to their customers, Norman is a joke as he never helped anyone. All cities are completely static, no movement, always the same and all cities look basically the same. What shall I/we do now? Fill up the place with Empire State Buildings and NY Town Homes? And then what?
So I'm now heading off to new grounds.
I'd love to give you some ideas, too. I've posted a lot of what I think are good ones that enhance gameplay on this forum, obviously to no avail. I hope you won't go the route of creating games designed to lure the young and/or hopelessly naive into forking over large sums of cash for in-game items that have no function.
It has been repeated over and over, but forget what TL's business model is for a moment and realize that, for as little as 99 cents, you can obtain some games out there in the App Store that make any "Story" look like a cash-hungry joke. Games offered by developers who are actually interested in providing compelling gameplay instead of occasional batches of clip art.

Shropshire stuntman lifts the lid on life in the movie business
Shropshire's award-winning film and TV stunt coordinator and performer Justin Pearson is sharing his remarkable life story in a new autobiography, Rolling With The Punches.
Shropshire stuntman Justin Pearson
From huge franchises such as Star Wars, James Bond, Harry Potter, Fast & Furious and Pirates of the Caribbean to cult TV shows like Game of Thrones, his CV is a sparkling list of the world's biggest productions.
From his early days as a prizewinning horseman, through globe-trotting exploits on the medieval jousting circuit, he reveals what it takes to ultimately make the transition into the world of TV and movies.
From the Shropshire Hills, to the Hollywood Hills… this frank, amusing and revealing story is a rollercoaster ride with all the twists, turns and thrills you'd expect in a classic blockbuster.
It includes testimonials from many people Justin has worked with over the years, including producers, actors and the man they call 'The Stig' – driving legend Ben Collins.
"I've been fortunate to travel all over the world with my work, experience many different cultures and meet some incredible people," says Justin, who was raised in Church Stretton, schooled in Ludlow, was once based near Wem, and now lives in Shrewsbury.
"After 20-plus years in this wonderful and sometimes wacky business, it's fair to say I've experienced my fair share of highs, lows, and unpredictable twists."
In the book, he talks about the time that A-lister Tom Hardy left him bloodied and dazed by smashing him in the face with a knuckleduster, and the day a prop misbehaved during an action scene with X-Men star Michael Fassbender, with painful consequences.
He also reveals what it's been like working with other movie legends including Johnny Depp, Daniel Craig, Natalie Portman – and some of his adventures in and around Shropshire.
Justin recalls some of his many brushes with danger, whether driving fast cars, freefalling off rooftops, or setting himself on fire.
He says: "When people ask me about my job, I often get asked 'Isn't it really dangerous? Don't you get scared?'
"Of course there are risks, but you should never underestimate the degree of planning, and health and safety awareness, on set.
"I'd like to think that, through my story and my experience, I can now impart some of the knowledge I've gained in the stunt industry over the past two decades to the next generation.
"If they have half the fun and adventures that I've enjoyed over the past couple of decades, I can guarantee them that they're in for a fantastic ride."
