creatine used with the atkins diet.
pls tell me what the pro's and cons would be of using creatine while following the atkins diet programm. i am a 24 year old female and i have quite a lot of body fat. i also do +/- 1 hr of aerobic excersises 3 times per week. my body fat % is especially high around the mid section so i do additional sit-ups. i am not on the diet and creatine yet. pls! pls! advise.
I am totally opposed to these high-protein, high-fat diets and creation of ketosis to lose weight. Click on 'Diet' at the top of this page and then on 'Weight loss' and 'Diet Detective' and read the article on the Atkins Diet. The reason why I and my dietetic colleagues have a problem with high-protein diets is that such diets automatically will expose you to high levels of fat, saturated fat and cholesterol because all animal protein foods such as meat, eggs and poultry contain animal fats which in turn contain these 'bad' fats which in turn can exacerbate high blood cholesterol and lipid levels predisposing to heart disease and certain cancers. A high protein intake may also have a negative effect on kidney function and leach calcium out of the body. There is also not yet sufficient evidence that shows that these high-protein diets sustain weight loss in the long-term, which is after all the purpose of trying to lose weight. Then there is also the problem of a lack of protective nutrients (bioflavonoids, phytochemicals, etc which are mainly found in plant foods) and dietary fibre, so that using a high-protein diet for long periods can cause certain deficiencies and constipation. Please be aware of the potential dangers of such diets. You should still be getting at least 1-2 portions of carbohydrates with a low glycaemic index (GI) at each meal (so eat popcorn and other carbs) to supply you with fibre and readily available energy. I also don't think that you need to use creatine as this is of more use to elite athletes who train very hard. It can cause water retention which you may find troublesome. Rather use a balanced low-fat, high-fibre diet and do your exercises to achieve your goals.
Just to say, don't give up on Atkins. Don't listen to everyone, everybody has an opinion. Check out the carbos in the creatine and judge for yourself. If you have the Atkins book and is well read, then you should know.
Low-carb diets are not suitable for everyone. Some people do best on a diet of up to 80% carbs. However, those aren't the ones who have a weight problem, unless it's being under weight.
About 20% of people require a low-carb (high protein and fat) diet for optimum functioning. Most overweight people are in this category. Anyone with hyperinsulinaemia (metabolic syndrome) is likely to do well on a low-carb diet.
If you're in the middle group (mixed type) then the low-glycemic approach will probably work well for you.
We should all avoid grains and sugars because they are almost totally devoid of essential nutrients and because the human metabolism is not adapted to processing them.
The claim that high-protein diets are "dangerous" is a highly specious one, and the popular myth that consuming saturated fats causes heart disease is not supported by the research. In fact, it is the increase in consumption of vegetable oils, especially margarine that has caused the epidemic of coronary heart disease. This is because of the unbalance caused between omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6 fatty acids. The modern diet contains far too much omega-6 fatty acids.

Alien Trees in Towerhouse Wood
Although Towerhouse Wood is designated as semi-natural ancient woodland, several alien tree species occur, particularly to the north of the main public footpath (W9) that traverses the wood from East to West. Some of these have been deliberately planted, while others are probably escapes from local gardens. The average age of these alien trees appears to be about 50 years.
Adjacent to the notice board about half way along the main footpath is a cluster of Gymnosperms, notable among which is a Douglas Fir Pseudotsuga menziesii. This tree was first discovered by ArchiboldMenzies in 1793 on the West Coast of the United States. It was introduced to Britain by David Douglas in 1827. As his diary subsequently revealed, Douglas suffered great hardship in his plant collecting journeys. Eventually, these led to his untimely death at the age of 35. Since wild cattle introduced by Captain Vancouver into Hawaii, were becoming too numerous, pits were dug to trap these animals. Douglas came across one of these pits and fell in – unfortunately the pit also contained one of the animals and he was killed. Douglas introduced at least 200 plants to the UK, including Mahonia, Limnanthes, Escholtzia, Clarkia, Symphoricarpos, Picea sitchensis andAcer macrophyllum. Douglas fir is the tallest tree in the UK, growing to 61 metres in Dunkeld. It was used for ships masts in the age of sail, and is now widely grown for the construction industry.
Near to the Douglas Fir is a Monterey Cypress Cupressus macrocarpa, one of the parents of the now infamous Cupressus x leylandii, the other parent being the NootkaCypressChamaecyparis nootkatensis. C.J.Leyland was the owner of Haggerston Hall where the hybrid was first raised.
Further back into the Wood are thickets of Rhododendron ponticum from Spain, Cherry Laurel Prunus laurocerasus from the Balkans, Portuguese Laurel Prunus lusitanica, Box Honeysuckle Lonicera nitida from China, and Mock Orange Philadelphus coronarius from SE Europe. These plants are aggressive, suppressing the native flora, and are being progressively eliminated from the woodland as part of the management plan. The Rhododendron is particularly undesirable as virtually no animal eats it, it produces toxic honey and it is allelopathic to other plants.
Further along the footpath is a European Larch Larix decidua, introduced into the UK in 1610. This is now widely used for fencing panels (larch lap), and it is grown as a nursery in raising seedlings of less hardy trees. The wood is very resistant to fire. Close by, is a young Norway Spruce, better known as the 'Christmas Tree' Picea abies. Near the junction of footpaths W9 with W2 set well back from these paths, is a young Coast Redwood Sequoia sempervirens. This tree was discovered by ArchiboldMenzies in 1796, near to the coast of California. This tree should be distinguished from the Wellingtonia or Giant Redwood Sequoiadendron giganteum, an example of which may be seen outside the Police Station in the centre of Nailsea. The leaves of the Coast Redwood are like those of yew, while the leaves of the Wellingtonia are more like those on Cypress trees. Although both trees have spongy bark and may grow up to 50m in height, the Coast Redwood is the more desirable tree, with good quality wood and the ability to regenerate as coppice on being felled. The genus is named after the North American Red Indian who was the son of a Cherokee squaw and an English trader named George Giss. Sequoia became famous as a skilled silversmith but his greatest achievement was in devising a phonetic alphabet for the Red Indian language.
Further back along the footpath in the direction of Tickenham is the Sweet Chestnut Castanea sativa. This grows opposite to the Chestnut paling fence that is on the left of the path, an important use for the timber. This tree was probably introduced into England by the Romans who were notorious gourmets, together with the Walnut (not found in Towerhouse Wood). This specimen has been coppiced many years ago.
Although the Sycamore Acer pseudoplatanus is often considered to be native to the UK, it was probably not introduced until the 13th Century from mainland Europe. The first indication of its presence was the carved Sycamore leaf on the tomb of Saint Frideswide, patron saint of Oxford. Sycamore is very vigorous, possibly related to the fact that it appears to have hybrid origin with double the normal number of chromosomes found in the genus Acer. The Tolpuddle martyrs met under a Sycamore tree in 1834, before their deportation to Australia.. The white wood is used for making spoons and for the backs of violins.
There are many Turkey Oaks Quercus cerris in Towerhouse Wood, and it is intended to remove these if possible. This tree was introduced to the UK from Southern Europe in 1735. The wood is inferior to that of English Oak from which it is distinguished by its 'mossy' acorn cups. It is also the alternate host for the wasp causing the Knopper Gall Andricus quercuscalicis in English Oak, introduced in the 1960s, which destroys the acorns sometimes eliminating the entire harvest.

yuki: It comes from the physicist, Pierre-Simon Laplace.
satoshi: Pierre-Simon Laplace proposed the idea that if a person knows the state of motion of all particles (atoms) at a certain time in the universe, then all of their past and future values can be calculated beforehand.

satoshi: I like HAKUMEI, Night Drive, and Mugen ni kieta tsubasa wa sajou ni utau.
— What was your inspiration during the creation of the album?
yuki: "Fragility" was the image we always had in mind. It was something we were conscious of when selecting the songs.
— You have your debut live soon. Is there anything you would like to convey to your fans at that live?
yuki: I want to show them "the future." I want to make a band like this, one that can grow together with the fans.
— What are your goals as a band?

satoshi: Mine are the same. I would like for us to be able to do a live at a big venue.
yuki: On a worldwide level. I want us to succeed on an international stage.
— What are your goals as individuals?
yuki: "One and only." I want to become a one-of-a-kind vocalist.
Takuya: I want to become famous as a guitarist. I have yet to travel abroad, so I would to interact with musicians from around the world and to motivate each other.

satoshi: I want to create a lot of good songs. I also want to use a huge drum set.
— Please tell the person next to you what their charm point is.

Ryuichi (to yuki) : yuki is cute. I guess his attitude, like "I wonder if he is in a good mood today?" He has a very cute side to him.
yuki (to Takuya) : Takuya is a mood maker. He is very energetic and loud.
Takuya (to Satoshi): Though he usually has a cool image about him, he also laughs with a high voice. I really like that.
— What place do you want to go to?
Takuya: I would like to try and go to New York's Time Square on New Year's Eve.
yuki: I would like to go to a place that is very popular with Japanese people. Maybe Hawaii?
Ryuichi: I would like to try and go to a place where there isn't a lot of technology, such as a savanna.
satoshi: I love Hawaii, so I'd like to go there.
— Lastly, please give a message to your overseas fans!
Takuya: I would like to go overseas someday. And I want to make music that reaches out to many fans. Please look forward to the success of LapLus.
yuki: I would like for LapLus to be a band that is known by people worldwide. I want to do a world tour someday. And at that time, I look forward to us meeting.

Having set out this position, Maddison promises to 'review the latest evidence behind these more reassuring statements, and place antisemitic hate crime in a broader perspective'. Unfortunately, the way in which he does so discredits the entire enterprise, and calls into question Jewish Voice for Labour's motivations in publishing his report.
I'll go through Maddison's arguments one by one.

Sadiq Khan calls for all recognition of slavers to end in the UK
By Seán Hickey
The Mayor of London said that the toppling of the statue of George Colston in Bristol has shown the need to strip slave traders of their glory.
Following anti-racism protests last weekend which saw the statue of a slave trader in Bristol toppled and thrown into the harbour, the question of racism and race relations in the UK has been the main topic of discussion. Mayor of London Sadiq Khan spoke to Shelagh Fogarty to reflect on a weekend to remember.
He told Shelagh that the elation in ethnic minority communities for the topic being moved into the mainstream is visible today. Mr Khan told her that many people have told him today that they've "been wanting to have these conversations for decades."
The Mayor of London pointed out the relief of many Bristolians at the loss of the statue of Edward Colston, noting that "they've been complaining about the statues of Colston for decades now" and the removal of the monument has hopefully become the start of a wider trend.
Mr Khan noted that in London "there are statues of slavers as well" and hatched an idea that would improve race relations greatly. Sadiq Khan suggested that towns and cities start to build "statues and squares and street names not named after slavers, but people that reflect the diverse nature of our cities" adding that it would serve the UK well to have cities filled with the memory of "icons we can be proud of rather than being ashamed of."
The toppling of the George Colston statue highlighted untapped racial conversations in the UK. Picture: PA
Shelagh began the conversation by asking for Mr Khan's view on whether or not the UK is a racist country, whereby he conceded that "there is racism in our city, in our country."
The Mayor of London spoke of "catalysts for change" being the killing of George Floyd in the United States and proof of disproportionate deaths of UK minorities because of Covid-19 which have brought race relations in the UK to the front of our minds and to be the main topic of conversation.
Mr Khan accepted that he and Shelagh "can't really understand what it is like to be a black person on the receiving end of racism on a daily basis" although he admitted that he "suffered racism, islamophobia, a whole host of things" himself.
Sadiq Khan told Shelagh that the reason why the death of George Floyd hit home so strongly was because many black people could put themselves in the shoes of the man himself, and they were fed up with seeing the obvious brutality occurring in the US and not addressing the issues that are clear on UK shores.

What Remains: A Memoir of Fate, Friendship, and Love
Written By: Carole Radziwill
Narrated By: Carole Radziwill
A stunning, tragic memoir about John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife Carolyn Bessette, and his cousin Anthony Radziwill, by Radziwill's widow.
What Remains is a vivid and haunting memoir about a girl from a working-class town who becomes an award-winning television producer and marries a prince, Anthony Radziwill. Carole grew up in a small suburb with a large, eccentric cast of characters. At nineteen, she struck out for New York City to find a different life. Her career at ABC News led her to the refugee camps of Cambodia, to a bunker in Tel Aviv, and to the scene of the Menendez murders. Her marriage led her into the old world of European nobility and the newer world of American aristocracy.
What Remains begins with loss and returns to loss. A small plane plunges into the ocean carrying John F. Kennedy Jr., Anthony's cousin, and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, Carole's closest friend. Three weeks later Anthony dies of cancer. With unflinching honesty and a journalist's keen eye, Carole Radziwill explores the enduring ties of family, the complexities of marriage, the importance of friendship, and the challenges of self-invention. Beautifully written, What Remains "gets at the essence of what matters," wrote Oprah Winfrey. "Friendship, compassion, destiny."
Wow ! Loved the book ! So Interesting ! What a shame all the death around her so close in time ! But... she is a Strong woman ! God bless her !
Joe-Ann Bianco
Being quite interested in all Kennedys, I found this book ..to be a different slant on their lives. Although, not really about THE KENNEDYS...I got a glimpse of their close relatives that I had never seen before. The reader was not great, but I got used to her. If you are a Kennedy Buff and interested in the behind the scenes of the rich and famous, you might enjoy this book. Otherwise...I'd skip it...wasn't a 'must read' but great if you are into the lives of the KENNEDYS.
I so enjoyed listening to this book. A glimpse into the lives of famous, yet real, people. I particularly like that it is read by the author.
Constance Goodman
The book itself was excellent. It made me laugh and cry at times. The profound loss of the author really made me think. I did not like the reader. Her voice did not lend itself to the richness of the emotional context of the book.

jitwam – Stronger [The Jazz Diaries]
Born in India, raised in Australia, and now roaming between cities in Europe and America, jitwam is an artist who wholly embodies the cultural influences that result from living in such a globalized world. For the release of his third EP titled Purple, the producer has decided to focus on a place near and dear to his heart – Brooklyn, New York.
Currently the location where he spends most of his time, jitwam describes the inspiration behind the record as "heavily influenced by the rhythm of New York. The buses, cars, and trains …" He then elaborates that "It feels like a night out in NYC, making your way to the club and ending back at the crib at 5 am watching the sunrise."
If we had to guess where his track Stronger falls on the timeline of a night out, we'd say that it most likely lands around the last call mark – a period in which feelings on the dancefloor are their most euphoric and the night is beginning to wind down just after an unforgettable climax. The reason we say this is that every aspect of this rising club anthem is so positive and uplifting.
From the airy, stringed melodies that loop from beginning to end, to jitwam's ad-libbed vocals that are as lyrical as they are instrumental, Stronger sends a clear message to its listeners to keep persevering to get all that they want, and all that they need – a message that aligns well with the attitudes of those who choose to work and live in the Big Apple.
Purple EP will be released June 5th via The Jazz Diaries on both digital and vinyl formats. Preorder your copy now by following this link right here!

The Princeton Review today released its first annual ranking of online MBA programs worldwide. NC State University's Jenkins Professional Online MBA program secured a No. 20 ranking on the list. This represents the third top-20 ranking in the past year for NC State's program (Bloomberg Businessweek No.9 and Poets & Quants No. 17).
The Princeton Review list — which names the top 25 schools — is the first comprehensive ranking of online MBA programs comprised of survey data from both administrators at the schools and of students attending the online MBA programs. Programs must deliver at least 75 percent of their program online to have been eligible for the ranking.
The survey for school administrators covered admissions selectivity, graduation and retention rates, faculty training and credentials, technological infrastructure, student indebtedness, and career outcomes among other items.
The student survey covered the topics of faculty, fellow students, career preparation, academics, the technology platform, and overall satisfaction with their programs.
"Our vision for the Jenkins MBA programs includes distinguished leadership in technology and innovation," said Ira Weiss, dean and Stephen P. Zelnak Jr. Chair at thePoole College of Management.
"We are excited for the recognition this new ranking provides to our Professional Online MBA program and our mission to educate talented professionals through our hands-on, practical approach to MBA education coupled with our focus on innovation and technology," he said.
"Applications for our online MBA program are up more than 50 percent year over year, and we are planning for continued growth. While highly interactive, our program design provides the utmost flexibility an online MBA program can offer – and exposes our students to the top-notch expertise of the same faculty teaching our on-campus MBA programs," said Steve Allen, associate dean for graduate programs and research at Poole College.
"We're incredibly excited about the future of this program," Allen said.
The complete rankings information and accompanying profile data can be found at http://www.princetonreview.com/business-school-rankings/online-mba/top-25-online-mba-programs.
The methodology can be found athttp://www.princetonreview.com/business-school-rankings/online-mba/top-25-methodology.
The NC State Jenkins MBA program is currently accepting applications for the Professional Online MBA program starting in January 2016. The NC State Jenkins MBA is available in three formats: full-time, professional evening and professional online.

The Fowler Museum at UCLA presents "The Spun Universe: Wixárika (Huichol) Yarn Paintings," a new exhibition running through Sunday, Dec. 4.
The exhibit features colorful yarn paintings and ritual objects inspired by the mythology and shamanic visions of the Wixárika people of western Mexico.
The exhibit is part of the "The Fowler in Focus" series and chronicles artistic production by the Wixárika people, commonly referred to as the Huichol, from mid-20th century to present. It highlights early works by Ramón Medina Silva, which include vivid depictions of the Wixárika cosmos. Since the 1960s, Wixárika artists have garnered international acclaim for their paintings using colorful yarn attached to wooden boards with beeswax.
Inspired by mythology and shamanic visions associated with the use of the hallucinogenic "divine cactus" peyote, the paintings feature images of sacred animals, humanoid ancestral figures, holy plants and ritual objects. The bulk of the Fowler's collection of the paintings was acquired in the mid-1960s by the UCLA-trained anthropologist Peter T. Furst after he met Medina Silva and his wife, Guadalupe de la Cruz Ríos. While recording indigenous mythological narratives, Furst prompted Medina Silva to illustrate the sacred stories. The innovation reshaped the understanding of Wixárika yarn paintings and Medina Silva became globally known for his ability to translate Wixárika belief and ritual.
The Fowler Museum at UCLA is located at 308 Charles E. Young Drive North.

Spark Networks Wins Patent Infringement Case
Written by Simon Edmunds
29th August 2017 29th August 2017
Spark Networks has prevailed in a patent infringement case, the company announced last week.
Last Thursday, the dating provider announced in a press release that the United States District Court for the District of Delaware ruled to dismiss claims brought against the company by Jedi Technologies, Inc.
Jedi Technologies alleged patent infringement on the part of Spark Networks and certain affiliates.
The claims were tied to four patents owned by Jedi that it alleged Spark had infringed.
The four patents were all entitled "System and Method for the Automated Notification of Compatibility between Real-Time Network Participants", and described a method for a server to "automatically notify chatters if another chatter is compatible."
In its decision, Spark's lawyers Fox Rothschild wrote that the court said Jedi's claims were invalid because each claimed the abstract concept of matching online chatters based on criteria like personality or location without providing the kind of meaningful limitations needed to make the subject matter patent-eligible.
As the law firm said, in other words, the court found that the patents-in-suit do nothing more than "recite the performance of some business practice known from the pre-Internet world along with the requirement to perform it on the Internet."
Danny Rosenthal, the CEO of Spark Networks, said: "We are pleased that the Delaware District Court reached the right conclusion in its ruling on this matter.
"The filing of false claims regarding patent infringement designed purely to generate monetary gains is all too common.
"The Court's decision unequivocally denies the claims against Spark and we hope sends a clear message to others who might pursue similar actions."

This quarter at school has been crazy so far, I am taking the max credit hours allowed while still working part time as well as renovating our new house with my Husband. Needles to say, this means I need low cost, fast and healthy food on the go! My favorite lunch this quarter has been tuna salad. I love it because it takes a few minutes to make and costs very little. This salad is also perfect for springtime because it is light and utilizes crunchy spicy radishes which are in season right now.
Normally, I am not a big canned tuna fan, it reminds me of my old college days when I would eat those nasty tuna and cracker combos out of the vending machine during late night study sessions ( oh to have the iron stomach of a 19 year old again!). However, by using chunk light canned tuna and brightening the salad with lemon juice, creamy greek yogurt and dill, it tastes bright, lemony and fresh instead of dark and oily. Enjoy!
Combine tuna, greek yogurt, lemon juice, dill, olive oil and celery in a bowl. Mix to combine. Taste and season with salt or add more lemon juice if desired. Serve on top of romaine lettuce and radishes.


Bait and Switch… Do you catch it? or Do they catch you?
Here is a heads up. When I write these articles, I name the good guys. I name the promotion sites eNovel Authors At Work has vetted, curated, like and use in our promotions, large and small. I figure you can read between the lines and pass up the bad guys. That said, in this article I'm naming names because some promoters do lie, cheat, flimflam and scam indie authors. I am gloriously sick of it.
eNovel Authors at Work…a group of indie authors sharing our experiences and ehow. Always FREE. Do Follow eNovel on Twitter.
Hey, I jumped on it. Melanie Tighe offered to sell member paperback books on consignment and at a fab rate. She also said she rented booths at conventions and would sell our new books, along with a dozen other author's books. Better and better. Send me the particulars. Next email from Melanie had a contract/pledge attached to it–for $5,000. Huh? Just write the check and she would not cash it until all $4,000,000 had been raised for a new cultural center. And: "Please do ask fans, friends and family members to each contribute $50." Holy smokes. We are not even invited as investors. Nope. Just hand over the money so they can build a new store, with our $$$$. Dog Eared Pages is a used bookstore. Authors don't earn five cents on books turned in used bookstores. Now the owners want to double-dip–deep. What the heck are these people thinking?
Note this: Crowdfunding falls under the Jobs Act of 2012 and SEC rules: Here is one firm rule: Crowdfunding caps an amount an issuer can raise to $1 million in any 12-month period. Oops. There's a red flag. Here is another: An Indiegogo crowdfunder is being sued for fraud.
Darlings… I wrote back and said we would be happy to place our books in the store on consignment, but we ain't sending $5000 for the privilege. Not a peep since. Bait and Switch? You decide. Follow the links. I hope by now you know to check the Alexa Rank on every site connected to this offer to flatten your wallet. By-the-by: Unless funds go into a protected escrow account, the check can be cashed. All one has at the moment is Melanie's word that she won't cash your check. My last thought on this: If a business wants to expand, go see your favorite commercial banker.
Next, here is a site that is sketchy: Bookblow.com For $29 it will: Promote Book of the Day to 350,000 readers on Twitter. Post Book of the Day on it's Facebook page having more than 8500 likes. Lifetime listing of your book on "our site" that gets more than 50,000 visits per month. It promotes Book of the day on the top 50 promotion groups on Facebook. The only thing is: Here is Facebook's info on Bookblow: It does not have a Facebook page: FB says: This Page is automatically generated based on what Facebook users are interested in, and not affiliated with or endorsed by anyone associated with the topic. It is blank. There is a legitimate Book of the Day site. It is FREE, but it is NOT BookBlow. Go Here to get your title on Book of the Day. Here is what I have discovered. Scammers are using the names of established sites by adding something as simple as an extra "e" in the name of the site or burying an underline like this: _ in the name so it is almost invisible. Here is the bottom line: Scam sites web pages are live linking to legitimate sites, but it has no connection to those sites whatsoever. Buyer Beware. If Book of the Day and Bookblow are associates… They can come right here and tell us. Comments are open.
Well, above is the scary stuff. Now let me share some of the good: eNovel Authors at Work has added The Midlist to our Preferred Promoters. The Books Machine has just slipped onto our list. eBooks Habit is on our preferred list and we are excited that it now accepts books priced up to $2.99. The promo site logos and icons on eNovel and JackieWeger.com are curated and vetted and on our Preferred list. We know the site administrators and the sites are consistent producers. UPDATE: The Midlist is D.E.A.D. The owners had an agenda: build it and sell it. They did. It is gone.
Keep in mind every indie author may not have the same results as the next. Even inside eNovel, some member's books do better than another on the same site. There could be a dozen reasons why this is so: The promo hit during a blackout in the Northeast, floods in Texas, wildfires on the West Coast or a devastating tornado flattened a township in Oklahoma. And that is just the weather in the USA…Add global events that attract the attention of our fans and readers and subscribers on the day of our promotion and we see less downloads. That does not mean one's book is awful or the site does not consistently perform. Life events happen. We don't blame the book or the promoter.
A Chicklit title full of spice and humor may see 2,000 downloads on a particular site. A title in a narrower market, say gay and lesbian and full of drama and family issues, may see only 300 downloads. Both are excellent returns for a particular genre.
Does it work? Yes, it does. In the past two years readers have kindly posted above 13,060+ reviews on eNovel authors books on Amazon.
Here are a few promotion sites eNovel Authors at Work prefers: Booktastik Choosy Bookworm Digital Book Today eReader News Today. You can also find a fabulous promo list on Indies Unlimited by Martin Crosbie here.
It is always comforting to know that information on this site is carefully vetted. Here we all grow from each others' experiences, whether they be good or bad. Indie authors rock.
So good to have such great advice Jackie. It can be a jungle out there with a lot of scammers. Thank you for all these great articles. Have bookmarked them all.
I'm still laughing at the name "BookBlow" – "My book was featured on BookBlow!" Aaaah, NO.
Great warnings – SO many people out there trying to take advantage of writers!
Unfortunately there are unscrupulous people in every industry. Thanks for sharing what we indie authors need to have on our radar screen.
I am lining up promos for two of my books, one on free and one 99c. Will obviously avoid BookBlow, because of your intel, and like Amy says, just no… I'm happy to have Midlist in the approved group. I've been lucky that they've accepted 2 of my books for a free listing. The first was a 99c book that sold almost 100 copies on that date. The next is in September, a free book. Will report back!
Good stuff, Jackie. Where there's money to be made, someone will always try to game the system.
Went to the Midlist, but they need to streamline their submissions list. The say submit, then they will review, and then blah, blah, but they never ask WHEN the book will be free or promo-ed. Maybe they ask later, but it made me nervous.
Yep, I got the Book Blow thing and smelled a rat. Thanks!
If you have Bookbub you really don't need to advertise anywhere else. Bookbub is AMAZING.
As always, informative. I'm trying Midlist for the first time next month. I'm interested to see what happens. Thanks.
It never ceases to amaze me how many fly-by-night operators prey on Indies. Thanks for helping sort them out.
Midlist it is, Jackie. Once again, thanks for giving everyone the heads up. We have to make these shysters go away.
Great stuff, Jackie. A great big thank you you checking these sites.
Oh, and I love Midlist, but am still annoying ah, submitting BookBub.
Thanks so much for taking the time to vet these scam artists!
Thank you, Jackie, for shining a light on a few unscrupulous players. You're providing, as usual, a very valuable service for all of us indies. And you're teaching us how to do it ourselves. Believe me, we do appreciate it.
Thank you! Mike Markel! If every indie author checked a site's Alexa ranking, or asked of a promoter: What is your reach? How many subscribers are readers? How many are authors?…we could better plan how we manage our book promotion for ROIs and exposure. A healthy measure of skepticism saves $$$ and disappointment. Some sites have wicked and confusing submission pages. What the heck? Streamline those submission pages. I very often have to send Rich Meyer, our tech wizard to a site to figure out the the submission page or why a captcha doesn't work. That is not good business sense.
There are some sharks out there! Thanks for flagging up the predators, Jackie.
This is interesting. I just got an email from bookblow.com asking to promote one of my books. Thanks Jackie!
Wow! I just stumbled onto this website while searching for ways to promote my latest release. Thank you so much for this valuable information.
You are very welcome, Lindy. Good luck with your books.
Just wanted to stop by & say thanks for this post. I just received an email from Bookblow. I never click a link in an email, so I Googled them and discovered your site. Huge help! Glad I found eNovel Authors.
Hello, Gillian: We are glad to you found eNovel, too. Don't be a stranger.


It was a sunny Monday morning when I rolled out of bed, took a shower, put my blue scrubs on, and headed out to work. When I arrived to my dental office in Downtown Summerlin, I could already see the smiling faces of my co-workers, Jackie and Tammy, and I could hear the subtle noise of the dental suction. As I was preparing for the day, the dentist arrived and so did the first patient; a grumpy old man. After what seemed like an hour of dealing with the old man's attitude and complaints, I finally sat down to assist the doctor with the root canal procedure. As I was sitting in the dental chair, I could only focus on my throbbing back pain and negative attitude. I stopped for a brief moment and looked around at our beautiful tulip wallpaper and then it hit me like a ton of bricks: I hated being a dental assistant.
...future and re-evaluating my whole life. Although I felt down, I did not want to sit around and regret the choice I made, but instead I felt motivated to research different routes and options. My emotions were in overdrive and I was excited with all of the options I had. Soon after, I asked myself, "Should I look into going back to school?" and before I knew it, I signed up for the fall semester at College of Southern Nevada. I realized that being a dental assistant was something I never wanted to do in the first place but I was convinced by other factors it was the right choice for me. In hindsight, I am glad everything happened the way it did. I learned that it was okay to re-write my dreams and make mistakes. Most importantly, what I realize now is that I grew from that experience and how it helped me strive for something better and I am grateful for that everyday.

I termini fratello (dal latino frater) e  sorella (dal latino soror) definiscono il rapporto di parentela di un individuo rispetto ad altri figli di medesimi genitori, oppure da diversi genitori: due individui sono cioè tali quando condividono (giuridicamente e/o biologicamente) entrambi i genitori. Il plurale fratelli è utilizzato per indicare o solo individui maschi o maschi e femmine. Per indicare individui di solo sesso femminile il termine utilizzato è sorelle.

Nella struttura familiare
I fratelli che condividono entrambi i genitori sono detti fratelli carnali, germani o bilaterali.

I fratelli che hanno in comune un solo genitore sono detti unilaterali. Nello specifico, i fratelli unilaterali che condividono il padre si dicono consanguinei, mentre quelli che condividono la madre si definiscono uterini.

Due fratelli si dicono adottivi quando sono stati adottati dalla medesima coppia adottante, ma hanno diversi genitori biologici, oppure quando uno è figlio biologico dei genitori adottanti dell'altro.

Si definiscono fratellastri due individui che condividono un solo genitore: il termine fratellastro è quindi sinonimo di fratello unilaterale. Si parla erroneamente di fratellastri anche quando uno dei genitori dell'uno ha sposato uno dei genitori dell'altro: in realtà in questo caso gli individui

Fratelli di latte è una locuzione utilizzata per indicare coloro che sono stati allattati dalla stessa nutrice.

In alcuni casi, quando si ha un'amicizia molto profonda tra due persone, i due individui si possono identificare come fratelli, sorelle o come fratello e sorella, anche se questo non ha alcun valore a livello giuridico, ma solo a livello affettivo.

In alcune culture antiche o arcaiche, caratterizzate da strutture familiari ampie, si dicono fratelli anche i figli di fratelli dei genitori (figli degli zii), quelli che nella nostra società si chiamano esclusivamente cugini.

Di ciò restano tracce linguistiche in alcuni dialetti.

È nota inoltre l'antica querelle sui fratelli di Gesù: il Nuovo Testamento e altre fonti successive a esso correlate ci informano che Gesù aveva effettivamente dei 'fratelli' (v. p.es. Mt), ma il termine ἀδελφός (adelfòs) del greco ellenistico semitizzato è fortemente polisemico, cioè può essere inteso in più sensi (fratello, fratellastro, cugino, seguace).

Nell'organizzazione religiosa
Di là dalla struttura familiare, il termine viene utilizzato metaforicamente per indicare un rapporto paritario con i propri simili, considerati tutti alla pari e confrontati soltanto al livello superiore (il "Padre", scritto e pensato maiuscolo). L'uso di questa metafora è tipico di culture patriarcali.
 CristianesimoNella scia del Vangelo, per fare riferimento a Dio come unico padre dei viventi, i cristiani si definirono tutti fratelli. Ancora oggi si chiamano così ("frate" / "suora") gli appartenenti ad alcune comunità religiose, soprattutto di ordini monastici o mendicanti.
 IslamUna potentissima organizzazione islamica, costituita nel 1928 ma affiorata alla notorietà negli ultimi anni, sono i Fratelli musulmani.

Massoneria
Il termine viene utilizzato in Massoneria per indicare coloro i quali fanno parte dell'Istituzione e hanno ricevuto una regolare iniziazione.

Shakespeare uses some of his most evocative language to describe this plant. Ariel in The Tempest sings of lying in a cowslip's bell, and in the following lines from the scene in which we first meet Puck in A Midsummer Night's Dream, the fairy who encounters him conjures up a delightful image when she says that she is off to hang pearly dewdrops as earrings in the cowslips.
The Arden edition of A Midsummer Night's Dream (second series, 1979) says that the pensioners are the "fairy counterparts to Elizabeth's [pensioners], her gentlemen of the royal bodyguard … who were chosen for their birth, height and good looks, and wore uniforms adorned with gold lace and jewels".
One of the men who was captain of these gentlemen pensioners for part of Elizabeth's reign was Henry Carey, first Lord Hunsdon, who was the queen's cousin (his mother was Mary, sister of Elizabeth's mother Anne Boleyn) and who was appointed as her Lord Chamberlain in 1585. Lord Hunsdon was patron of a company of players, Lord Hunsdon's Men, which became the Lord Chamberlain's Men, Shakespeare's acting company. Hunsdon's granddaughter Elizabeth Carey married Thomas Berkeley in 1595 and it has been suggested that A Midsummer Night's Dream was first performed at the wedding although there is no evidence to support it.
Earrings were worn by both fashionable Elizabethan men and women. The famous Chandos portrait of Shakespeare at the National Portrait Gallery shows him wearing an earring, although not a pearl one.
Less glamorously, John Gerard in his Herbal (1633 edition) gives the following medicinal properties of cowslips – "the cowslips are commended against the paine of the joints called the Gout, and the slacknesse of the sinews, which is the palsie", as well as for other ailments such as kidney and bladder stones!
The image showing the lines from A Midsummer Night's Dream is from our copy of the second quarto of the play, published in 1619.

Write a 3 page paper that looks at yourself as a critical thinker in the past, present, and future.
You should consider all that we have learned in the first week–from readings and discussions–about critical thinking, intellectual virtues, assumptions, and inferences. In your writing, you will want to use specific terms and make references to the information in the articles we have read (citations not needed in this assignment). You may refer to the various documents by title and author (if given). You may use terminology as if it is common knowledge (just as you would not need to cite who the first president of the US was).
what have been your weaknesses? your strengths?
what are your current weaknesses? strengths?
what are your biases? where did they come from?
how often do you question your assumptions?
what do you want to work on? why?
why are you who you are as a critical thinker?
how do you want to improve in the future? why?
what do you think will be difficult for you? why?
what are you looking forward to improving? why?
Note: Do NOT simply answer the above questions in a list. Your writing should be in essay form, and so should include an introduction, a thesis (stated or implied), unified paragraphs, support for the thesis, and a conclusion of some sort. You have freedom in deciding the approach–will you use narrative? expository writing?–and may use a personal tone (as opposed to academic).

ASUS ROG STRIX SCAR II GL704G Review: Compact Giant
Sometimes laptops designed for virtual entertainment were bulky and cumbersome: with a screen diagonal of 15-17 inches, the manufacturer needed to fit in a portable case and an excellent processor, and a powerful video card. Not to mention the cooling, because without it, nowhere.
Fans of all their carry with them had to choose between a huge heavy device or a compact, but much less powerful device.
Technology does not stand still, and today it is possible to reduce the size by reducing the display frame. As they did at ASUS, presenting a 17.3-inch model of the ROG STRIX SCAR II GL704G. With a comfortable screen, all these characteristics fit into the case, which is barely larger than the game "tags" of previous generations.
In the design there is no special frills, the laptop is decorated strictly. Outside, the flat top cover made of metal attracts attention, and inside, the front surface stylized as a camouflage and Kevlar cover, as well as the keyboard. In ROG STRIX SCAR II it is full, with a separate digital unit, and is covered with soft-touch soft plastic.
It is immediately obvious that the keypad here is a game: the most popular WASD buttons, as expected, are highlighted in a separate color. Although for most players this is now considered a move, the manufacturer did not deviate from the traditions. The decision, of course, is controversial, but it is compensated by the fact that the buttons have a unique "step" and respond faster to the user's actions. Yes, and the backlight looks beautiful, shimmering in the dark in several colors. I am glad to have the opportunity to change its brightness, colors and other parameters at will. However, no notebook illumination can do without this function.
The IPS-screen of the laptop has almost no frames. The refresh rate is 144 Hz, and the response time is 3 ms. Even many eminent competitors cannot boast of this. Unlike a number of other gaming machines, the STRIX SCAR II display is matte. Everyone has different tastes, but this coverage gives less bright highlights, able to "hide" the enemy or obstacle. It is better to soft and scattered light.
Inside they put the most up-to-date stuffing: the latest generation i7 processor (six-core with a frequency of up to 4.1 GHz), up to 32 GB of RAM right out of the box and a full-fledged GTX 1060 video card. devices.

Built-in speakers give a good sound. Clean tops, medium enough, there is such a good claim to the bass. In general, both audio effects and music of various genres sound good. Classical compositions, and rock, and pop, and ordinary human speech are reproduced without distortion. Also well transmitted game gaming: explosions, footsteps, whispering and flying arrows heard quite realistic.
Due to its moderate size, the laptop easily climbs into a backpack or medium-sized bag. However, compactness has its price, so it was not without compromise. It is necessary to launch a heavy application, as the room is instantly filled with the rustling of air overtaken by a system of fans. The cooling system, able to cope with the temperature inside such a small case, turned out loud. A player doesn't care, he is immersed in the process, but it's not so comfortable for others to sit next to a cracked STRIX – it's like holding a boiling kettle near your ear. It looks like temperature and acoustically. However, compared to other gaming solutions, the ROG STRIX SCAR II is still quieter.
Performance and games
In the work of ASUS ROG STRIX SCAR II proved to be cheerful. The OS boots almost instantly, all programs open without any hesitation, but it is strange to expect another one from the game model of 2018. Thanks to the 32 GB RAM and the bright SSD.
The screen is gorgeous. It is just like the other components of this model, chosen specifically for a dynamic change of plot.
The point is in the high frame rate: 144 Hz is both a smooth process and less delay in control. The game literally feels "at your fingertips". In addition, the higher the refresh rate, the more realistic the scene looks on the screen. Reality is infinitely smooth.
The advantages of such a panel are in competitive games (you will see the changes on the battlefield faster than opponents, and you will react earlier and more precisely) and in single-player ones. Whether it's the world around us in RPGs, skirmishes in first-person shooters, or monsters in horror games – the effect of immersion will grow, and we need to. Well, in the work "more hertz" is useful – less eyes will be tired.
The sound here to match the picture: loud, bright, clear. Columns do well with the tasks assigned to them. All frequencies are reproduced perfectly, so there is no need to use external speakers in SCAR II. As in all devices with top-end equipment, the audio section in the new product is based on the highest-quality components, so those who like to use headphones will not be disappointed either.
The laptop was originally installed RAM "to the eyeballs" – 32 GB. Increasing it over the next few years just will not have to. Of course, there are more modest configuration, they upgrade is not difficult. Nothing here is unsoldered, unscrewed several screws – the stuffing is in front of you, even though the drives are updated, at least the amount of RAM.
But it is better not to dissect STRIX, but to apply it for its intended purpose, that is, to test for strength with the help of popular games. For clarity, we will test modern hits using different libraries to display three-dimensional graphics. This will be DirectX in two versions, as well as OpenGL 4.5 and Vulkan. Graphics settings everywhere exhibited at the "High."

Even with one hundred percent load in the most demanding applications, the case remains only slightly warm. The cooling system works for one hundred percent, although it distracts from the process with noise. True, many stuffed frags, wearing headphones, and through them, the sound of the fans will not be heard.
One of the most interesting and useful features of the new 8th generation Intel Core ROG notebooks is the Premium Pick Up and Return program. In fact, this is an extended warranty: for two years, the owner of the piece of iron can safely repair it to the experts, and without the slightest effort.
Given that the computer is an unpredictable thing, this gesture is quite pleasant. Should the equipment be taken for free, repaired and returned to the owner as soon as possible. The benefits of such insurance is obvious.

The new model ROG STRIX SCAR II GL704G can be considered successful – undoubtedly, it is one of the most powerful and compact laptops in its class. A great compromise: you no longer have to choose between mobility, a large screen and performance.
The laptop has performed well in heavy applications. Ease of use is also at altitude. It is pleasant to work for him, and it is comfortable to carry in a bag. Slightly spoil the overall positive impression of noise and weak autonomy. When you take such a powerful machine not only for games, you want to see a more enduring battery – at least four hours without an outlet. But if this does not bother you, then SCAR II is definitely your choice.

LGT scooped up a total of three awards at the Swiss Sponsorship Awards 2018 with its project "LGT Young Soloists". The private bank won the "International Sponsoring" category and took second place for "Culture Sponsoring". It also received the audience award for its sponsoring commitment.
The Swiss Sponsorship Awards, which recognize new and innovative sponsoring concepts, were held for the sixth time yesterday in Zurich. With LGT Young Soloists, an orchestra composed of young string soloists founded by LGT together with violinist and teacher Alexander Gilman in 2013, LGT achieved top rankings in two out of four categories, winning first place in the "International Sponsoring" category and second place for "Culture Sponsoring". It also won the audience award.
By establishing the LGT Young Soloists, LGT and Artistic Director Alexander Gilman have created a rare and ideal platform for exceptional talents to develop both musically and personally. "With this project, we are further pursuing the longstanding tradition of promoting the arts that our owner, the Princely Family of Liechtenstein, has always fostered," says Monika Schreiner.
The string ensemble currently consists of around 30 highly-talented soloists ranging from 12 to 23 years of age. As members of the LGT Young Soloists, the young musicians perform as soloists in their own orchestra and accompany each other. This gives them an unparalleled opportunity to regularly perform onstage with peers, and gain experience as soloists, chamber and orchestra musicians. Since its founding in 2013, the young soloists have performed at important concert halls around the world, and enchanted their audiences with musical performances of the highest caliber. In March, they will be releasing their third CD "Nordic Dream" under the renowned record label RCA Red Seal (Sony).
At the Swiss Sponsorship Awards, LGT's sponsorship of LGT Young Soloists impressed both a twelve-member jury consisting of marketing specialists as well as the knowledgeable audience. In the lead-up to the awards ceremony, 15 sponsoring concepts were nominated by the jury – LGT Young Soloists was the first-ever project to be nominated for two categories. The scores given by the jury accounted for half of the overall result, and the definitive winners were determined by the audience at the Swiss Sponsorship Awards 2018 in Zurich by means of live voting. LGT not only received the audience's votes for the awards in two categories, but also the audience award, enabling it to prevail against its strong competitors.
