CLEAN the Brussels sprouts. FILL the medium-sized pan with water and salt and cook the Brussels sprouts for about 4 minutes, depending how crispy you like them. REMOVE the Brussels sprouts from the water using a skimmer and place them under running cold water to prevent them from becoming overcooked.
Use a sharp knife to trim as much of the orange peel and white skin (pith). Then cut the segments out, as close to the membrane as possible to create beautiful blood orange wedges. REPEAT for 3 blood oranges and use the rest of the oranges for the dressing. SQUEEZE the blood oranges and slowly drizzle in the corn oil. By doing this slowly and keep on whisking, the orange juice and corn oil will become a smooth mix. Season with pepper and salt.
CHOP the iceberg lettuce into thin strips, the cherry tomatoes and Brussels sprouts in halves and tap on the pomegranate so it will release the seeds.
REMOVE any excess fat and muscles from the chicken and SLICE the chicken into strips.
In a large bowl, combine chopped iceberg lettuce, pomegranate seeds, blood orange segments, blood orange dressing, halved cherry tomatoes and Brussels sprouts. MIX well and divide over 4 plates.
HEAT a medium-sized skillet and add a little bit of oil. ADD the chicken strips and cook them on high heat for 4 to 5 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken strips. Season them with pepper and salt and immediately divide the cooked chicken strips over the salad and finish it off with pecan nuts. Enjoy!

Q: Why can I not call a public method in my Web Part (User Control) from an Event Receiver? I've added this Event Receiver (based on what I found here):
using System;
using System.Security.Permissions;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Security;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Workflow;

namespace PostTravelWizard.PostTravelItemEventReceiver
{
    /// <summary>
    /// List Item Events
    /// </summary>
    public class PostTravelItemEventReceiver : SPItemEventReceiver
    {
       /// <summary>
       /// An item was added.
       /// </summary>
       public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
       {
           base.ItemAdded(properties);
           //GeneratePDF(); <= "The name 'GeneratePDF' does not exist in the current context
       }

       /// <summary>
       /// The list received a context event.
       /// </summary>
       public override void ContextEvent(SPItemEventProperties properties)
       {
           base.ContextEvent(properties);
           // TODO: What "context event" occurs here? To what event should I respond?
       }

    }
}

I'm hoping to, when a List is updated (from the client side/Javascript), then retrieve those values in the code-behind to generate a PDF file. I have this code in my *.ascx.cs file:
public partial class PostTravelWizardWebPartUserControl : UserControl
{
    . . .

    public void GeneratePDF(PostTravelData ptd)
    {
        ;//bla
    }

...but it's not letting my call GeneratePDF() from the Event Receiver - it fails with

The name 'GeneratePDF' does not exist in the current context

Why? How can I rectify this asunto?

A: GeneratePDF is an instance method of PostTravelWizardWebPartUserControl class. In order to call it from PostTravelItemEventReceiver you have to create an instance of PostTravelWizardWebPartUserControl or let the method(GeneratePDF) be static.
Case 1
public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
{
    base.ItemAdded(properties);
    new PostTravelWizardWebPartUserControl().GeneratePDF();
}

Case 2
public partial class PostTravelWizardWebPartUserControl : UserControl
{
    public static void GeneratePDF(PostTravelData ptd)
    {
        ;//bla
    }
}

public class PostTravelItemEventReceiver : SPItemEventReceiver
{
    base.ItemAdded(properties);
    PostTravelWizardWebPartUserControl.GeneratePDF();
}

The city is poised to adopt a plan that benefits private interests far more than public. Community well-being must be a high priority.
For more than 50 years a city-owned barge facility in north Minneapolis known as the Upper Harbor Terminal served as the Port of Minneapolis. With the closure of the Upper St. Anthony Falls lock in 2015, the upper river closed to commercial navigation and the 48-acre site with a mile of Mississippi riverfront has become something else: an opportunity to set a new standard for how to transform civic assets into engines of community well-being.
We are deeply disappointed that city leaders are about to squander this rare opportunity. Despite widespread opposition from neighbors and stakeholder groups, on Jan. 22, the City Council's Economic Development and Regulatory Services Committee is poised to approve a plan brought forward by developers that privatizes most of the site, reduces public parkland and ignores community wealth-building and ownership opportunities.
The Upper Harbor Terminal has long been seen as a linchpin in a larger plan to transform the riverfront in north Minneapolis from predominantly private, industrial land to public parks, trails and adjacent redevelopment that creates opportunities for community wealth-building.
Unlike most proposals that come forward where the developers are entitled to build what they want with their own money so long as it's consistent with the site's zoning, this site is entirely in public ownership. The city can decide what kind of development goes here, who benefits from it and who is allowed to participate in the decisionmaking process.
Unfortunately, in this case, the city essentially outsourced the planning to private developers who drove the priorities and defined who would benefit. Just one static plan (recently slightly revised) was offered for community comment. Not a single alternative concept was publicly explored, so community members never had a chance to compare and contrast the benefits and costs of different approaches. The result is a limited plan that leverages the value of the river mostly for private benefit.
The plan's centerpiece is an extravagant, privately-owned $48 million, 10,000 capacity concert venue situated very close to the river's edge. For this private business, the developers expect to seek 40 percent of the needed funds from public sources. Adjacent to the concert facility, the plan calls for a private riverfront hotel. Both the hotel and the concert venue would be within the boundaries of the Above the Falls Regional Park. Overall, the development plan reduces the amount of public parkland from 28 acres as proposed by the Minneapolis Park Board in 2013 to 19.5, a 30 percent reduction in riverfront park.
We are not advocating throwing out the entire plan. Many elements have merit and could add value to the site. An amphitheater or performance venue could be a valuable amenity — especially if it were smaller, publicly owned and situated within the park (think Lake Harriet Band Shell). The current plan proposes housing on a portion of the site, including a significant percentage of affordable units, which would allow neighbors with lower incomes to enjoy the benefits of riverfront living. And the plan proposes improvements to Dowling Avenue that would make it easier and safer for residents of existing neighborhoods to cross I-94 and enjoy the riverfront.
On Jan. 22, the city's Economic Development and Regulatory Services Committee should reject adoption of the plan in its current form and instead adopt a planning process that truly engages neighborhood residents and community stakeholders as co-creators and partners alongside developers, city and park board staff.
We support community residents' calls for a process that starts from an equity framework that serves the larger socioeconomic goals of the community consistent with Dr. King's vision and sees the great Mississippi River as an asset that bestows its gifts equitably to all people.

ABC Film Challenge – Horror – P – Perfect Skin (2018) Movie Review
Director: Kevin Chicken
Writer: Kevin Chicken, Dusan Tolmac (Screenplay)
Starring: Richard Brake, Natalia Kostrzewa, Kasia Koleczek, Perry Jaques, Jagoda Kamov, Danny Worthington, Jo Woodcock
Plot: Katia Matuschak, 18, a Romanian ex au pair is now adrift in London. She befriends Bob Reid, a seemingly friendly tattoo artist but Bob is not who he seems to be. His life is spiralling out of control and in his final attempt to fulfil his dream he kidnaps her, intending her to be his muse for his lasting work of art. Her body will be his canvas.
Tagline – Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder
There may be spoilers in the rest of the review
Story: Perfect Skin starts when Katia Mutaschek (Kostrzewa) finds herself homeless in London at 18, turning to her friend Lucy (Woodcock) who offers her a place to stay, introducing her to a tattoo artist Bob Reid (Brake) who offers to give Katia her first tattoo.
When Bob sees and believes that Katia has perfect skin, he waits for his chance to take her to create his own masterpiece on her skin, using his own tattoo designs to make the perfect canvas, as Katia starts to transform.
Thoughts on Perfect Skin
Characters & Performances – Bob Reid is a tattooist that has been going through a divorce and has a reputation of being one of the best artists in town, he meets Katia and sees what he could give her for a tattoo on what he sees as her perfect skin. He abducts her to make her his latest project, using her skin to make his perfect canvas. Richard Brake does bring us this disturbingly calm character that will give us a character that believes they are doing right for their vision. Katia is an 18-year-old living in London, needing to turn to friends for a place to stay as she looks for a job, she attracts the attention of Bob, who wants to give her a tattoo and ends up finding herself trapped by him, having her body transformed by Bob. Natalia Kostrzewa does a good job in this role, with her character learning to adapt to the changes she is being forced through. When it comes to the other characters Lucy is the friend that offers Katia a place to stay and is the only one searching for her once she goes missing, with this character flipping between concern for her friend or anger towards her friend.
Story – The story here follows a young woman that gets abducted by an obsessed tattoo artist who wants to make her skin his perfect canvas, as he slowly starts to transform her into his vision of beauty. This might not be the deepest of stories, as we see each chapter slowly see Katia end up with new tattoos, waiting to see just where the final vision of her will be, we focus more on the relationship between Bob and Katia, as they look to learn from each other, with Katia almost embracing her position, while also wanting to escape this world. The side story of Lucy trying to figure out what happened does seem to get in the way of the main story, as it feels like we could have dived deeper into what is making this obsessive nature come out in Bob. This does have a few pacing problems too, as it could easily have been shorter for what we see happen, as we go through the same thing quite often, without getting the reveal until later in the film.
Themes – Perfect Skin is a horror that shows how someone would look to transform somebody else's body to make it their perfect vision, holding them hostage in the world they find themselves in. we use the London setting showing us how strange things can be happening in the city without other people knowing what is going on.
Perfect Skin is filled with a disturbing presence without hitting the heights of pure terror, despite the body transformation forced upon the victim.

Hope you had a fab weekend? I guess many of you had one owambe or the other to attend, well I didn't but this week is the week and I want to be ready so I've surfed for aso-ebi styles that would represent me perfectly for my owambe trail blazing this weekend. One thing I love is a well sewn aso-ebi style and another thing is an aso-ebi style with intricate detailing because that's what separates the style. An aso-ebi style can also be spell binding, that means it can be easy on the eyes but gorgeous enough to keep you in awe, with this said I present the following aso-ebi styles for your viewing pleasure, make sure you have a piece to show your tailor (I already have).
What did you think guys, how awesome was each aso-ebi style, the fabrics are all so awesome not to talk about the choice in design and detailing, there are so many options to choose from and they are all guaranteed to keep people spellbound so make sure to take close looks at each of the piece on display to figure out which look you would get custom made.
Did you like any of the aso-ebi styles? lets see what you think simply leave your comment in the comment box below, telling us if the aso-ebi styles are a Hit or a Miss.

I liked everything, thank you. The only thing is a small drawing on large t-shirts.
Came to russia for 10 days. T-shirt, thin. Translucent. Not sure that pure cotton. Corresponds to the dimensional grid. Not overlaid seams (such often in chinese t-shirts, xs why). No side seams (cool). Drawing, not a sticker (a little brighter). Quite a good t-shirt in general.
This is one of the best shopping on the internet. T-shirt is pure cotton, very pleasant to the body. The only thing that, the picture is not bright. But it, so to speak, is printed in fabric, so that's a huge plus. And most importantly-delivery. The goods came unrealistically quickly!
Surprisingly good quality, I am 240 lbs US size 2x in shirts and I got a 3x and it's perfect. plus its super cute!


Your wedding day really is a physical work of art. All your guests see is the finished masterpiece, but they don't really see how many different people work together to create the wedding! Wedding dresses, groomsmen suits, venues, churches, florists, wedding cars, entertainment, venue decorators, makeup artists, hair stylists and cake decorators make up the most common list of suppliers involved!
Picking the right team for your wedding day reduces a lot of the stress of wedding planning, but there's a huge amount of work to do with just that!
Planning your dream day can sometimes seem overwhelming, but assembling a good team of suppliers can make it work a treat!
My biggest bit of advise to a wedding couple is to get the date and venue booked before anything else. I know this seems obvious, but this is arguably the biggest task on the list. Not only will you have a date to tell other suppliers about, but you'll have an idea on what suppliers will work well with your chosen venue. Suppliers will be able to advise you on your planning with past experiences and stories from working at your chosen venue, which may point you in a productive direction with planning.
A good way to kick things off is to write down a wedding timeline, from the start and finish of the day. Then, work through the timeline to discover what you need to sort! This will give you an initial clear indication of what to book next.
After this, I would recommend with working through the list of suppliers, starting with the "largest" jobs first, such as venue and table decorators, dresses and suits, florists and photographers. These suppliers can get booked up pretty quickly, sometimes years in advance, so it's a good idea to get them booked in.
When booking your first lot of suppliers, feel free to ask them for recommendations for other wedding business' and ideas, as they'll be able to speed up the process for you and help you find what you're after!
Another great idea is to come up with a wedding theme. A theme can consist of a colour scheme, patters or a general aesthetic I.e vintage, rustic, modern. There's lots of ideas on the website Pinterest! When looking for suppliers online, use your themes keywords to narrow down your search.
Be sure to ask family and friends when looking for trusted suppliers too, especially those who have had successful experiences in the past for their wedding. Trust is everything!

Sheyi Emmanuel Adebayor is a hugely complicated and talented player. Famous for rowing with teammates like Nicklas Bendtner, and managers like Andre Villas-Boas, the Togolese frontman is equally famous for being completely unstoppable when he put his mind to it.
From Metz to Monaco, to Arsenal and Manchester City, then off to Real Madrid for a bit, and back to the Premier League with Tottenham Hotspur… everywhere Ade has gone, he has scored. He's also one of the few players to ever notch four assists in a single game.

9 Creepy Books About Sinister Institutions
P.N. Hinton Oct 29, 2020
The Institute by Stephen King, now available in paperback from Gallery Books.
Stephen King's #1 bestseller The Institute is now in paperback! Young Luke Ellis has woken up in a faraway room that looks just like his own. But he soon finds that this mysterious place houses several other kids who all possess very special abilities…and the ruthless staff here is dedicated to extracting the force of their extranormal gifts. As each new victim disappears, Luke becomes desperate to somehow find a way out and get help—even though no one here has ever escaped. If you love Stranger Things, get your copy of The Institute wherever books are sold.
Institutions, by nature, are creepy as hell. The word itself invokes images of boarding schools where teachers completely ignore Pink Floyd's advice to leave those kids alone. Some are built on the edge of hell with all the associated proximity effects. There are asylums where the doctors aren't practicing good medicine. Then there are school organizations with nefarious beginnings and intentions such as the Skulls from the movie of the same name. Most people have a specific book or movie that they think of when they read or hear the word.
It doesn't matter whether the root of the sinister nature is supernatural or man-made: it is still unsettling and will send shivers down your spine. Much like the haunted house trope, sinister institutions aren't going anywhere anytime soon. Below you'll find some good examples from the past, present, and near future with institution settings. I will endeavor to not delve too much into spoiler territory in the blurbs below.
Down a Dark Hall by Lois Duncan
I will start the first book that sprung to mind when I started writing this post. Kit Gordy is one of four girls who are part of the inaugural class at Blackwood Hall. She can't shake the feeling of dread she has when she first sees the outline of the school. The gossip from the town about it being haunted also isn't helpful. When the girls start having similar strange dreams, Kit realizes that something very wrong is going on here—but it may already be too late. This book is one of my childhood favorites. I've lost count of how many times I've reread it. As a heads up, there are two different versions of this book: the one originally written in 1974, and the updated one from 2011. No matter which one you pick up, you'll be in for a fun ride.
Fog, Snow, and Fire by Caroline B. Cooney
This trilogy's heroine, Christina, notices her schoolmates acting strangely shortly after moving into the Shevvingtons' boardinghouse. The Shevvingtons appear to be a normal and loving couple to all the other adults, but Christina knows about their sinister nature. The books take place over her year at their school, where her ultimate goal is to make it out alive. This was originally released as a trilogy in the 1990s and is now available as an omnibus. This YA series likely set a lot of younger readers down the path for horror and suspense, so it deserves its place on this list.
The Dead Girls of Hysteria Hall by Katie Alender
Sixteen-year-old Delia has inherited a house from her aunt that comes with a troubled past. In its heyday, it was the Piven Institute for the Care and Correction of Troubled Females. In reality, it was a jail designed to break the wills of strong-willed young women. Delia fits this descriptor herself. Some of these women still haunt the hallways of the house. Then one night she becomes trapped there through the power of the house. She has to uncover the house's dark secrets—not just of the girls who were unwilling patients, but the full horrific history and secrets that the house is still holding onto.
Teen Killers Club by Lily Sparks (November 10)
This isn't out yet, but hear me out on the plot first. Seventeen-year-old Signal Deere has been framed and convicted for the murder of her best friend Rose. This marks her as a Class A, the most dangerous, manipulative criminal profile. Rather than go to prison, Signal opts to join the secret program for other Class A's under the age of 18. She is sent for assassin training at an abandoned sleep-away camp.
Signal doesn't want to be a trained and paid murderer. She only signed up to find Rose's real murderer. However, there are numerous powers working against her, including the force behind the camp determined to keep the kids contained and make sure they train for the job they signed up for. The man in the woods is determined to pick them off one by one, and Rose's real murderer is determined to keep their identity secret.
The Dreaming by Queenie Chan
This is a manga that stars identical twins Jeanie and Amber, who enroll at Greenwich Private College. Once there they discover that over its 100-year history, students have wandered off into the wilderness never to be found. Soon after, they begin to have strange and eerie dreams about the missing girls. They begin their investigation into what led to all of these disappearances, while trying to avoid the disapproving vice principal who appears to harbor a prejudice against the twins.
The Devil in Silver by Victor LaValle
This entry from the prolific LaValle takes place in New Hyde psychiatric ward. Pepper, our protagonist, finds himself the latest unwilling patient here with no clue as to why. He gets attacked by a creature with the body of a man and the head of a bison on his first night there. He assumes this is a hallucination until his fellow inmates tell him otherwise, likening the modern day Minotaur to the Devil. Pepper and some of the other inmates are determined to stop this creature by any means necessary. Of course nothing is what it seems here, and LaValle once again puts his unique spin on the trope of the institution, creating a unique entry into the horror genre.
Catherine House by Elisabeth Thomas
Another story that takes place in a prestigious school, this book has taken the book world by storm since its publication in May of this year. Taking place in the titular school, Catherine House is an institution where, if one is extremely lucky, they will be given free tuition, room, and board. In exchange, the school requires three full years of your time, closed off from rest of the world and loved ones. Are these three years of total isolation worth the price of the career of your dreams? Ines Murillo is about to find out when she becomes one of the selected few in this new gothic horror novel.
Tommy, Ruth, and Kathy were three students at the prestigious Hailsham Academy when they were younger. There, they forged a friendship among the ever present cliques and strict teachers. During their time at Hailsham, the sinister nature behind the academy is revealed to them and what their purpose is on this earth. This one is different from others in the list so far since the sinister reveal is not wholly supernatural and lends more towards the man-made variety.
The Club by Takis Wurger, Translated by Charlotte Collins
Orphaned at a young age, Hans Stitchler is under the guardianship of his Aunt Alex, who is an art history teacher at Cambridge University. She promises to help him get a full ride at the school, provided he helps her take down the male-only Pitt Club. Armed with a perfect on paper fake resume, Hans tries to prove himself to be Club material. When he falls in love with a fellow student, the lies begin to unravel, as well as the dark history surrounding the club and his aunt's obsessive drive to take it down.
Here are just a few books that take on the institution trope. What do you think of the list? What book comes to mind when you think of the idea of a sinister institution? Let us know over on Facebook and Twitter.

Welsh man lands Shed of the Year prize
A DIY enthusiast in Wales has been awarded for his skill at outdoor home improvements, it has emerged.
Winning the Shed of the Year 2009 prize, Steven Harwood's Kite Cabin includes a toilet, satellite television and a woodburner among its facilities.
Standing at five sq m, he reveals that he designed and constructed the building himself, in part due to his dissatisfaction with the wide-scale trend of pre-ordered sheds.
"It is a realisation of my idea and I love it," he adds.
Mr Harwood also states that the shed's veranda and south-facing windows allow him to make the most of the natural scenery.
Sarah Beeny, TV property developer and one of the judges for the competition, states: "The shed quality gets better and better each year – it seems more and more people are embracing the joy of sheds."
Meanwhile, Cosy Homes Online recently revealed the nation's passion for sheds as the typical 30 to 76-year-old man spends over 12 hours a week in such outbuildings.

Oskar Musikk
Oskar Yazan Mellemsether is a 21 year old half Norwegian, half Turkish artist from Trondheim. Oskar is a singer/songwriter in the traditional sense, heavily influenced by not only folk but also Americana and country. He's a fixture on the local music scene in Trondheim, sometimes with the band "Bolla & Lilleband" with whom he played all over the Trøndelag region in 2008-2009. Eventually Oskar decided to embark on a solo career. After many months of writing, the fruits of his labour first emerged via the "Trondheim Calling" compilation in the Winter of 2010. But Oskar feels it's a little lonely to play on his own and as such has had a few of his mates come and expand his on stage sound. Under the moniker "Oskar Musikk" he played key festivals Pstereo and Storås this past summer, and his debut L.P. is slated for Spring 2011. "Oskar is a fine discovery with his fragile Will Oldhamesque take on folk…"

Having difficulty calculating the amount of Stamp Duty you will be required to pay on your next property? Then check out the latest function on our website which offers a quick and accurate assessment of Stamp Duty, either for the purchase of a main residence or second home.
Look out for the new calculator icon featured on each individual property. Simply click the icon and then choose between first or second home, and we will do the sums. There is also a link at the bottom of every page so you can open the calculator at any time.
"Since the new Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) came into effect this April, we are experiencing an increase in the number of customers, seeking advice and help to calculate their Stamp Duty," said Gary Holland, partner at Holland Broadbridge.
"With our new simple to use calculator, we can offer an accurate assessment of how much money purchasers need to set aside for completion of a property transaction. Moving on from the old Stamp Duty system, whereby a single rate was paid on an entire property, the new SDLT offers a sliding scale which can sometimes be complex.
"We hope prospective property purchasers and existing customers will find our Stamp Duty calculator a helpful addition to our website," added Gary Holland.

Q: Fragment id in android-support-v4 rev. 22 There are MainActivity (extends FragmentActivity) and MainActivityFragment (extends android.support.v4.app.Fragment). There are different layouts for portrait and landscape screen orientations for MainActivityFragment.
After switching version of android-support-v4 lib from 21.0.3 to 22.0.0 I get the following stacktrace while rotating the app:

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

</ScrollView>

So both fragment layouts have different root ids. But seems it does not matter anymore in support-lib-v4 22.0.0. Moreover it's possible to find root view of both layouts only by passing R.id.fragment. Here is the code, and see explanations below:
public class MainActivity {
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onStart() {
        findViewById(R.id.relativeLayout); // (1)
        findViewById(R.id.scrollView); // (2)
        findViewById(R.id.fragment); // (3)
    }
}

(1) - with rev. 21 returns RelativeLayout for portrait mode, null in landscape; with rev. 22 return null in both modes
(2) - with rev. 21 returns null for portrait mode, ScrollView in landscape; with rev. 22 return null in both modes
(3) - with rev. 21 returns layout with fragment inside for both modes; in rev. 22 returns RelativeLayout or ScrollView depending on orientation.
My questions: Is this change of API is documented somewhere? Should I change my layout/fragment code assuming that it is not a bug of support library?

A: Activity and Fragment classes from Android system library (not support-lib-v4) on my Android 4.1 device have the same behavior like newest (22.1.1) version of support-lib-v4. So, I guess the "new" behavour is not a bug, but it is the fix.


This is also a repeat of last year. Look! Same tablecloth! Haha!
I pulled out Santa's Helper and added it to this year's repertoire because it's just so darn tasty. And, can you go wrong with a cocktail with marashino cherries in it? I think not. You notice I'm not showing you the photo where each glass had half a dozen cherries in it. Nope. Because we wouldn't do that. Nope.
Actually, we didn't. But, now that I think about it I really wish we had. Oh, well. Santa's Helper is a holiday standard, so there's always next year. Or next week.
This makes one cocktail, so I doubled it for the husband and I. Pour all of the above into a cocktail shaker. Add ice. Shake until well-chilled. Enjoy!


The origins of the Kelly first appeared, in its original form in the 1930's but it wasn't until 1956 that it truly became a star. With its smart tailored-shape it evolved into a '50s favorite during the Hollywood glamour years, and has enjoyed an iconic status ever since.
In 1956, a photo of Grace Kelly, who had become the new Princess of Monaco carrying the Sac à dépêches bag to shield her pregnant stomach from the prying eyes of the paparazzi. Photographs of her covering her stomach bulge with her hallowed Hermès were splashed all over the world and made it onto the cover of Life magazine. Thus, the company — or possibly more like the public — renamed it the Kelly bag, and it became hugely popular.
When discussing her high-profile life, Kelly said "the freedom of the press works in such a way that there is very little freedom from it." When faced with a pack of nosy photographers, Stephanie Pendersen, in her book, Handbags, What Every Woman Should Know, says that the shy, newly married Princess, not yet wishing to announce her pregnancy to the world, did what any woman would do and hid her secret in her handbag.
The Hermes Kelly handbag is a top handle style that you carry by hand. They are roughly rectangular in shape and function in a similar way to an envelope. With the width wider at the bottom and quite narrow and sleek looking at the top. They feature a flap that comes over the top and fastens with a lock.
There are two styles which describe the level of structure to a Kelly handbag, there is the souple and the rigide. The souple is a softer, less structured style. The Rigide is more structured and formal looking. The rigide typically costs a little more the the souple, but it is typically more enduring.
The Kelly Bag is made by one individual craftsman in about 18 hours of work. The skins arrive at the factory already laid out in perfect symmetry, ready for the expert to being his (or her) magic.
Goat skins are used for the lining and this is the first part to be actually sewn. After the lining is made, the base of the handbag is hand sewn to the front and back with waxed linen thread. A double saddle stitch is used and each thrust of the needle is carefully done. A tiny hole is made with an awl before each stitch and the stitch size dictates the size of the hole. Adjustment is made for the particular grain of the leather to work with the natural pattern.
The handle comes next in the careful construction of the Kelly handbag and the shaping is done by hand with painstaking attention to detail. The layers of the stitched leather is smoothed with sandpaper and then dyed to match the handbag. Hot wax is applied to protect the handle from moisture.
Kelly bags come in 5 different sizes and are usually made from crocodile, alligator, ostrich-skin or plain leather. Classic size of the Kelly bag is 32cm and 28cm. If you want something smaller there is the Kelly Longue bag, which is like a clutch sized version of the Kelly bag. If you are looking for a large style that can work as a carry on bag, there is a 40cm version.

National Socialism In The Birthplace Of The Enlightenment
Apr 3, 2021·8 min read
an attempt to stir up hatred against the most evil law of which I have ever been a subject
It would be so nice if something made sense for a change.
- Alice
Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures In Wonderland
On March 11th, the Scottish National Party's infamous Hate Crime And Public Order Bill was passed by overwhelming majority by the SNP, Labour, "Liberal" Democrats, and Greens in the Scottish Parliament. Nonchalantly passed off in all official communications along the lines of updating and consolidating existing hate crime legislation, the law specifies a handful of legally distinct victim groups against whom it is now illegal to "stir up hatred".
One might think that "victim of a crime" would be grouping enough, but one would be woefully behind the moral fashion: the law is not concerned with actual victims, as we might call such a group, but rather narrative victims. Even if one believed the Orwellian lunacy that "hate" could or should be made illegal, one might still hope for a law eliminating hatred from the human condition under which we might all be equal. But instead, the victims have been narratively predetermined. And if readers are unsure how they ought to behave to avoid transgression against members of these segregated classes, this is likely futile as what is legally relevant is only how any such "hate" is perceived by its alleged (narrative) victim.
It may well be the most widely discussed and derided piece of legislation to ever emerge from the Scottish Parliament, with severe criticism arriving even from former deputy leader of the SNP, Jim Sellars, who called it, "one of the most pernicious and dangerous pieces of legislation ever produced by any government in modern times in any part of the United Kingdom." The Scottish Police Federation warned the law will oblige its members to, "police what people think or feel," damaging public opinion of the legitimacy of the police.
With all this in mind, I don't expect to add much to the political debate around the bill, now being wrapped into a de facto campaign point in advance of the Scottish Parliament elections on May 6th. But I would like to draw attention to some more philosophical aspects of the discussion, as I believe the implications go well beyond Scotland.
The first is that, as well as being morally repugnant, the bill is amusingly incoherent. It literally makes no sense as a set of sentences in English. What is made illegal is the "stirring up [of] hatred." If the reader ponders this for a moment, she will realise not only that it is a metaphor — which ought to be a concerning discovery in a legal text— but that, as a metaphor, it is clearly inapplicable to the context in which it used.
As Dr Catherine McCall wrote in Think Scotland,
"To stir means moving the substance in a circular motion, as you do when you stir a cup of tea or stir the porridge. 'Stirring up' means moving the physical substance in such a way that the bottom of the substance is moved towards the top. If you take, for example, a pot of soup: you might want to stir up the soup so that the lentils that have sunk to the bottom of the pot are distributed throughout the pot.
So how does this metaphor work for "stirring up hatred"? It appears to mean that you do something to move the hatred at the bottom of the metaphorical pot so that it is distributed throughout the metaphorical pot."
She goes on to argue that in order to "stir up" hatred, the hatred has to already exist, and it has to be somebody else's hatred, not your own. So, if we are to try to take this bill seriously (which I would not recommend, but as an academic exercise, let's say) what has been criminalized is not the hatred of the accused, but the pre-existing hatred of some third party being brought to the top of their metaphorical mind. It really is the stupidest law I have ever had the displeasure of trying to understand.
Perhaps this should not be all that surprising from a party whose recent attempts at "governance" include the proposal to cancel Adam Smith for insufficient wokeness on the painfully contemporary topic of the transatlantic slave trade, having written of slavery in The Theory of Moral Sentiments, as only a dead white male could,
"There is not a negro from the coast of Africa who does not, in this respect, possess a degree of magnanimity which the soul of his sordid master is too often scarce capable of conceiving. Fortune never exerted more cruelly her empire over mankind, than when she subjected those nations of heroes to the refuse of the jails of Europe."
And so, of the novel illegality of "stirring up hatred", note that I am not saying that it is foolish, or evil, although it is these things too. I am saying it is stupid. It makes no sense. It is not a meaningful proposition. It's bad enough to be subject to totalitarianism, but it is perhaps bearable if your overlords at least have good taste and read good books. But it's another matter altogether if they are illiterate imbeciles who cannot express coherent thoughts or write coherent laws.
The second problem is that it only dawned on me after the bill was passed that the purpose of probably the most objectionable part of the law — the non-exemption of utterances in one's own home — is to encourage children to rat out their parents. There is arguably nothing else to say on this point. It is so shocking it defies commentary, even in irony. It is a transparently totalitarian policy: a minor plot point in 1984 as Winston Smith's neighbours are arrested having been denounced by their children, as well as something known to have been official policy in Communist Romania under Nicolae Ceaușescu, for example:
Ceausescu regime used children as police spies
The secret police of Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu recruited thousands of children to spy on schoolfriends…
And during the Cultural Revolution in China:
China's Cultural Revolution: son's guilt over the mother he sent to her death
They beat her, bound her and led her from home. She knelt before the crowds as they denounced her. Then they loaded her…
But perhaps the most offensive philosophical issue is that one could hardly dream up a law that is more starkly anti-Scottish. The reader may not be aware, but good-spirited, tongue-in-cheek debate is the lifeblood of Scottish culture. Offence is given on purpose, not only as a joke but as a challenge to stress-test the merits of arguments. What matters is first and foremost the truth; second that all involved, particularly the audience, are entertained; and not in the slightest that no offence is taken and that nothing said could be conceived of as "hateful" if taken out of context. No true Scotsman would heed such kenable shite.
Rabbie Burns captured as much in his masterpiece, A Man's A Man For A' That (which, trigger warning, is not gender-neutral):
For a' that, an' a' that,
His ribband, star, an' a' that:
The man o' independent mind
He looks an' laughs at a' that.
What Burns is saying — and I need to explain this because the SNP has made clear by its actions and its platform a shocking ignorance of Scotland's history and culture — is that adornment with conspicuous marks of status ought not to lead a person to be taken seriously but, if anything, to be mocked. Today, such marks are less likely to be clothing but rather vanity morals or proclamations of one's narrative victimhood. Anybody who follows the lead of our national poet and laughs has likely committed a "hate crime".
Likewise, the discussion at the Poker Club, whose members included Adam Smith, Adam Ferguson, and David Hume, would certainly be illegal under the Hate Crime Bill, and is it highly doubtful The Scottish Enlightenment would have emerged from such spaces at all under as oppressive as intellectual climate as Scotland in 2021. Western Civilization would have had to have sprung from somewhere like France or, God forbid, England …
Despite presenting itself as mair Scots than haggis, the SNP peddles boilerplate social democracy — which, incidentally, given the lack of effective opposition will see a sizable proportion of productive people leave the country within six months of any successful independence referendum — with woke frillings to attract the student vote, and comically irrational hatred of the English that, unlike my jest above, is funny on account of its incongruous sincerity. The party is most concisely and accurately described as "national socialists".
Indeed it will be interesting to discover if its axiomatic jingoism falls foul of the new law. I suspect not, as nobody considers the English to be victims, hence no legally relevant narrative exists. The English themselves certainly do not, which removes legal weight from the argument even further as their "perception" might otherwise be rock-solid evidence.
The majority of SNP supporters do not have the slightest clue about the latest woke mandates and couldn't care less about what "hatred" it is fashionable to feign vicarious offence over, but have simply been whipped into a perpetual state of finely wound tension and anxiety that "the English" are out to get them and the SNP is the last line of national defence. This all comes together in a peculiar ideological melange in which astroturfed cultural and disingenuously-suggested-to-be-ethnic strife is used as a political base to push overt totalitarianism. It's all rather unpleasant, really. It's mingin: awfae' wickit an aw.
There are political options for countering the SNP that readers can find on their own. I don't want to endorse any, for two reasons. First, I don't want to endorse a political position at all but rather a philosophical one. Second, the political issue is likely applicable to a minority of readers, whereas the philosophical one is applicable to a greater or lesser extent in the entire anglophone world, and likely beyond. The SNP's hate platform may be fuelled by hyperlocal cultural trivialities of no interest whatsoever to anybody south of Carlisle. But what is especially worrying about its totalitarian turn is its infection by the American leftism du jour.
It pains me to even have to say "leftism" in describing this phenomenon. Non-American readers need not worry their local labour rights movement or working-class political party is disproportionately likely to become subject to infection. They may well become infected — and let's be honest, at least a few of them probably will— but not without contradiction. American leftism du jour is a decidedly upper-class phenomenon that "speaks for" the oppressed as an expression of vanity morals aspiring elites use as credentials: a kind of "proof of work" of having kept up with the latest intellectual fashions, a necessary condition of which is having no real work needing doing.
America is in the midst of exporting its very own Cultural Revolution, and all anglophone elites are susceptible, regardless of their nominal political affiliation. Scotland is not the only victim, nor will it be the last. If you don't want your allegedly leftist representatives grovelling before the altar of postmodernist power as if they are permanently auditioning for a guest spot on the New York Times editorial board by unironically mimicking Czesław Miłosz's caricatures from The Captive Mind, I would strongly advise taking steps to buttress your cultural institutions to reject this virus. If not, you will soon find yourself dealing with such abominations as the Hate Crime Bill.
Everybody who voted for this bill, and anybody who supports it, is a shameless, spineless scoundrel: a daftie, a numptie, and a bawheid.
Is saying so a "hate crime"? I guess we'll soon find out …

Current Mesothelioma News
Plumber's Widow Files Asbestos Lawsuit
Fonda, CA – A deceased plumber's family has filed a lawsuit against a plumbing company, claiming that it is responsible for the asbestos-related death of that man. According to the suit, he died after developing mesothelioma which he contracted as a result of his continuous exposure to asbestos.
Josephine Jaworski, Joseph Jaworski's widow, filed the lawsuit for the estate of her husband in Florida Supreme Court on 22nd February. A Mormile Plumbing and Heating, an Amsterdam-based company, is the defendant in the case. The company is being sued over negligence, loss of consortium, and wrongful death.
This is actually the 2nd suit she has filed against Mormile Plumbing. In June 2011, she had filed a similar lawsuit in Johnstown Supreme Court claiming negligence. In that case, she sued 100 other companies also along with Mormile Plumbing. Other defendant companies include Ford, CBS, General Electric, Sears and Goodyear. However, that case was dismissed even before reaching a trial, court records show.
Jaworski's obituary shows he was 83 years when died on 17th July, 2011 – just around a month after the initial suit was filed. He was the owner of a vending firm and spent 3 decades as a firefighter in Amsterdam after beginning his plumbing industry career. According to the pension records of the state, he retired from the Department of Fire on 31st October, 1976.
Both the suits do not specify when Mr. Jaworski was appointed by Mormile Plumbing. According to the first suit, Jaworski was exposed for many years to dangerous asbestos material while working at different steel mills, shipyards, paper mills, industrial sites, chemical plants, refineries etc. He was also exposed to the toxic mineral due to general use of products containing asbestos, the suit stated.
The suits do not specify when Jaworski was diagnosed by his physicians with malignant mesothelioma, a cancer caused only by exposure to asbestos.
James Mormile, the plumbing company's owner, said his firm hasn't been served with the suit and therefore he could not comment on that. However, Mormile said the company where Jaworski worked no longer functions. Jaworski's attorney also didn't immediately comment on the case.
According to the suit, Mr. Joseph Jaworski was continuously exposed to dangerous asbestos dust and fibers while working for Mormile Plumbing. The company, despite being aware of all the risks associated with asbestos exposure, didn't warn him or provide him with any sort of protection, according to the plaintiff.
The suit filed by Josephine Jaworski is seeking unspecified damages.

Ona Man Claims Asbestos Exposure on Work Sites Caused Lung Injury
Charleston, West Virginia – A man from Ona (Cabell County, West Virginia) has filed a lawsuit in connection with asbestos exposure against 55 defendant companies. The plaintiff says the companies are liable for the lung disease he developed.
Wayne Jr. Rider was diagnosed on 28th January, 2012 with a severe lung injury, a lawsuit filed on 28th February in Kanawha County Circuit Court claims.
According to Rider, he began smoking cigarettes when he was working in the United States Navy. He continued that habit until year 1978. The maximum cigarettes he smoked were a pack per day, the suit says. He stopped smoking in 1978, according to the lawsuit.
Rider says the defendant companies are sued based on the concepts of negligence, breach of implied warranty, contaminated buildings, conspiracy, intentional tort, strict liability, failure to warn and conspiracy.
The plaintiff argues that the defendants were negligent about the safety of workers including Rider. They failed to warn workers regarding the risks involved in working with and around substances containing asbestos. Rider did not know the hazards of asbestos exposure while handling the dangerous products of the defendants, the lawsuit says. He was never warned regarding the risks either, the plaintiff claims. He was never provided with any sort of protective equipment while handling dangerous asbestos material. According to the plaintiffs, the companies should have known very well regarding the dangers associated with exposure to asbestos material and inhalation of asbestos fibers, still they allowed workers to handle or work around the substance without taking any adequate safety measures. Rider says asbestos exposure is the cause of his present lung condition. Exposure to asbestos is linked to severe lung and respiratory problems and sometimes it can cause even more dangerous diseases such as mesothelioma (cancer of the lining of chest and abdomen) and lung cancer.
Some of the defendant companies are being sued in the case as the owners of premises while some others are sued as employers of Rider for intentional / deliberate tort, the lawsuit filed by Rider indicates.
Rider wants a grand jury trial for resolving the issues cited in the suit. James F Humphreys and Associates lawyer James McKowen is representing the plaintiff.
3M Co, ACF Industries, A.W. Chesterton Co, Aurora Pump Co, Borg-Warner Corp, Brand Insulations, Buffalo Pumps, CBS Corp, Certainteed Corp, and Cleaver-Brooks Co are the companies mentioned as defendants in Rider's lawsuit.
Woman Develops Mesothelioma from Occupation Asbestos Exposure
A former plant worker claims that she developed a deadly cancer because of the dangerous conditions she had regularly worked in.
Sandra A Peterson, of South Shields, developed mesothelioma, an asbestos-linked cancer, as a result of her occupational exposure to the dangerous mineral. Peterson was diagnosed with the disease in 2012 April. She is 57 years old.
Peterson believes she had been exposed to hazardous dust while working at Plessy's and Filtrona UK between 1970 and 1980. Peterson is now requesting her ex-colleagues to come ahead and help her find out how she got in touch with asbestos – a known carcinogen.
"It is heartbreaking to find that my disease could've been caused by the work at those factories when I was only a teenager," Peterson said. "Then I was absolutely unaware of the hazards associated with asbestos exposure," she said. Peterson, who has 3 grandchildren, is consulting with expert lawyers for investigating how she could have developed a disease that is developed only because of asbestos exposure.
Peterson worked with South Shields-based Filtrona UK between 1973 and 1975. Her job there was to make paper filters for cigarettes. Peterson believes the coating (slurry) used during the manufacturing process might contain dangerous asbestos fibers.
"That job was very dirty. My face, hands and overalls got covered regularly in black dust. The dust even got up in my hairs and my nose," Peterson said. "I believe that dust contained the toxic asbestos fibers that sickened me," she said.
Peterson thinks asbestos was widely used for insulating electrical elements at the Plessy's, which is located at Eldon St, South Shields. She worked there from 1975 until 1976.
Before developing the disease, Peterson was a very lively person who used to enjoy Zumba Classes, swimming, bike riding and walking. But now she is struggling to walk. Now she is unable to do her usual jobs in her home without the help of her husband.
Roger Maddocks, an attorney helping Peterson in the case, said: "Asbestos is undoubtedly the largest occupational killer ever. Asbestos-linked diseases can take several decades for the victims like Mrs. Peterson to develop incapacitating conditions that really affect their life quality."
"Mrs. Peterson and her whole family haven't still come to terms with such tragic news that she is not going to recover from her terrible condition, caused by merely working at some factories almost 40 years ago," Maddocks said.
Courthouse Asbestos Removal could Cost additional $165K
Columbia County – Asbestos present in the remaining Columbia Courthouse basement could cost an extra $165000, a sum which is actually more than the whole amount planned by the county for asbestos abatement. The discovery of asbestos was unexpected and was not budgeted for.
The $8M courthouse project of the county has around $700000 in change orders' allowances such as removal of asbestos, says David Robinson, the Commissioner of the Public Works Department.
The county's budget was $144000 for removal of asbestos. The additional requirement of $165000 would make the total expense for the work to approximately $300000. Robinson says the estimate can be negotiated.
The asbestos finding has halted the ground renovation project at the courthouse. John Cutsumpas, the project manager with architectural company Lothrop Associates, said the project could be delayed by another 4 to 6 weeks by the extra asbestos removal. Cutsumpas said there was some "off the chart" quantity of asbestos material discovered that had not been originally planned on.
Robinson said that the Columbia County has been forwarded the estimate for the job from Alpine Environmental Services, their consultant, depending on the projection by Eugene Dilorenzo, the general contractor.
The discussions on Wednesday between supervisors followed talks a few weeks ago on a $56744 change order for changing the electric paneling in the courthouse. This resulted in overseers questioning who'd take the responsibility for the mistake in planning.
Benson questioned again on Wednesday whether the project planners would be liable. "They're the specialists. They did something completely wrong," he said.
Jeffrey Nayer, the Supervisor, said that the courthouse is a very old structure and therefore all the asbestos couldn't have been accounted earlier. "
In the meantime, the board is considering the overhauling of heating system at the courthouse seriously, which would add approximately $400000 in addition to the project expense.
Thomas Garrick, a supervisor, said the effort was essential as the heating system was old and required to be eventually replaced. Garrick said it'd cost much more in case the county waited for doing it following the reoccupation of the courthouse.
"It appears to be wasting of the taxpayers' money, but it is not," Nayer said.
The overseers would like to hear a new heating system's cost estimates before moving ahead. They are also planning to replace windows in the courthouse, though it could add additional significant cost and will need another bid.

The last six months have been a liturgical whirlwind. Advent sprinted by and ran headlong into Christmas morning. After only five short weeks of Lent, we were thrust into the contemplative season of Lent. As always, those forty days, which always seem like an endless amount of time, abruptly plopped me at the threshold of Holy Week and finally of his triumphant conquering of the forces of death and sin with his Resurrection. Seven more weeks of Easter celebrations and beautiful feasts Goodness gracious, I'm sure what comes next is going to be even more magnificent!
And then it hits me: Ordinary Time. Twenty-nine weeks of Ordinary Time. You've got to be kidding. What am I supposed to do with "ordinary" after everything I've been through in the past six months? I already put up with the hum-drum of ordinary in my everyday life. Now, I'm supposed to be ordinary in the life of the Church as well? Sheesh…how many more days until Advent?
Ah, there's the key. In all of the grandiose liturgical seasons we just experienced, were we not given an example of Christ's great love? And wasn't this love also shown in small ways? Indeed, our savior, our God, was born in a poor little stable to make manifest for us his incomprehensible and immense love, which culminated in his total gift of self for us, out of that love, on the cross.
What, then, is our true super power? It is love. It is practiced in the littleness of Ordinary Time just as much as in the grandness of Advent and Easter. As we transverse (for an extraordinary amount of time) into this new liturgical season, let's commit to practicing St. Therese's little way, which she says "is the way of spiritual childhood, the way of trust and absolute self-surrender." It's the way of letting that mom and her screaming child go in front of us in the check-out line. It's the way of cheerfully interacting with that coworker. It's the way of joyfully helping our friend finish that stressful project.
It is a time to practice. Let's use this Ordinary Time to practice love, the very virtue that God has displayed for us so magnificently since the first Sunday of Advent. Following St. Therese's example, we have the ability to make this Ordinary Time truly extraordinary with little acts of love.
We have the ability to make this Ordinary Time truly extraordinary with little acts of love.
St. Therese of Lisieux, pray for us.

Q: How to use node's IP instead of pod IP for egress using IPv6? I'm using dual-stack Kubernetes (1.23.2 with Calico as CNI). From one of my pods I want to create a connection to another device which is external to the Kubernetes installation. The connection will pass through an (also external) LB / firewall.
When I try to create an IPv6 connection, I see that the internal pod IP address is used as source address (which is of course outside the Kubernetes cluster not routable). To my understanding the node IP should be used:

For example, if a pod in an overlay network attempts to connect to an IP address outside of the cluster, then the node hosting the pod uses SNAT (Source Network Address Translation) to map the non-routable source IP address of the packet to the node's IP address before forwarding on the packet.
https://projectcalico.docs.tigera.io/about/about-kubernetes-egress

Is there some switch / configuration (parameter) to force the use of the node IP instead of the pod IP?
BTW: This only appears for IPv6 - IPv4 communication used as expected the node IP.

A: It turned out that the root cause was that IPv4 NAT is enabled by default while IPv6 is not when installing calico using kubespray. (It looks that currently even the appropriate config parameter nat_outgoing_ipv6 is not documented.)
To fix the problem, you need to edit the IPv6 IPPool
kubectl edit ippool default-pool-ipv6

and add
natOutgoing: true

Latest in Walmart Store Design Comes to Waterloo
Renovated store now offers a glimpse into the next generation of shopping
WATERLOO, Ill., Sept. 13, 2010 – The Waterloo Walmart, located at 961 N. Market St., will celebrate a grand re-opening this week, giving Monroe County shoppers a glimpse of the company's next generation of store design and customer experience. The results of a three-month remodeling project will be unveiled at the Waterloo Walmart at 8 a.m., Friday, Sept. 17. Among the many improvements are a new layout, wider aisles, low-profile shelving, bright interior paint scheme, enhanced lighting and easy-to-read signage to make the shopping experience more convenient for customers.
"We listened to our customers and have redesigned the store to make shopping at Walmart even easier," said store manager Dave Barnes.
New Layout Improves Customer Experience
The remodeled Waterloo Walmart features a more open shopping environment with wider aisles. Walmart also aligned the departments that customers shop most frequently, making it quicker to purchase everyday items, including moving the pet department next to the grocery department.
"The new layout is easier to navigate, which will save our customers time as they shop for necessities," said Barnes.
A bright interior paint scheme and enhanced lighting create a more inviting shopping experience and help define the store's merchandise areas. Low-profile shelving creates an improved sightline and directional signage helps customers find the products they need.
Expanded Departments Add Value and Savings
The remodel also brings Walmart customers an expanded electronics department, featuring a wide selection of the latest consumer electronics and home entertainment. The new design includes a more hands-on experience for customers with interactive displays for hi-definition Blu-ray, video gaming and portable electronics. The interactive experience enables shoppers to test new technology.
A new department called Celebration Station has been added and will feature party supplies, greeting cards, balloons and helium tanks, cake supplies and gift wrap.
Grand Re-opening Activities Include Support for Local Organizations
The grand re-opening celebration is scheduled for Friday, Sept. 17, and will begin with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 8 a.m. Local dignitaries, including the Mayor of Waterloo Tom Smith, will assist Barnes and store associates in cutting the ribbon to the newly remodeled store. During the ceremony, store associates will present $4,500 in grants from the Walmart Foundation to the following local organizations:
Monroe County Sheriff's Department
Monroe County Big Brother, Big Sister
Waterloo Fire Department
Waterloo High School
Waterloo High School Living Skills
Waterloo Police Department
Waterloo Senior Citizens
Waterloo School District Physical Education Teachers
Waterloo Veterans of Foreign Wars
The Walmart Foundation has committed $2 billion to U.S. hunger relief efforts through 2015. The Fighting Hunger Together campaign will also engage Walmart customers and associates in the fight against hunger. More information can be found at walmart.com/fightinghunger.
The store is also committed to being a good environmental steward. Part of the cement used in the store's concrete flooring is made with recycled materials, and the baseboards are manufactured from 100 percent recycled plastic. The photo department also uses green technology, operating completely without liquid chemicals for photo processing. The store also has improved its recycling efforts with a new recycling program which features a sandwich bale process that takes all loose plastic, hangers, aluminum cans and office paper, sandwiches them between cardboard, bundles them into bales and sends them to recycling centers. In addition, the store will be composting all organic products.

You have finally finished and launched that ebook… now what? Giving it a push into the limelight is a huge job but it doesn't stop there. You need to keep working on it.
You should be promoting your ebook at every opportunity months and years after it is published.
Here is how to market your ebook that will be sure to gain some traction.
Landing pages are not just popular, they are necessary.
Having one will build hype, give you a potential email list (have people sign up for the book when it is first released and you will have an automatic email list for future updates and marketing opportunities), and an effective way to give your ebook it's own little corner without putting it on a forgotten tab on your website.
I am personally a fan of Unbounce, because I can A/B test right there in the dashboard, and get tips on improving prior to launch.
I've asked many book authors I know and they all say that their own email list is their best sale funnel. Most of them all say that inviting people to sign up through a well-branded popup opt-in forms is the most effecient way to build the list.
I am really torn on the whole blog popup thing. On one hand, I am aware that they may be annoying . On the other, they seem to supass any other types of forms in their conversion rates.
So while it may have its potential drawbacks, getting downloads to your ebook won't be one of them. It is worth adding one in for yourself, and watching the results. You should be able to tell if your audience responds well, but sadly it is a trial or error method. Those who already have a loyal audience will see the biggest return.
Make sure you are safe from Google's "Intrusive Interstitials" update though and set up your forms the way they don't scare off your visitors.
Flipsnack is one perfect way to partially repackage your book into a flipbook which can be viewed on iPad or a desktop. Flipbooks can be embedded into your blog page to spur more interest and sign-ups. Here are a few cool examples of using Flipsnack for digital books.
If you don't feel like repackaging, why not at least give some parts of your book for free? Everyone likes free stuff. And you know who is likely to talk about the free stuff they get? Influencers with tons of followers, who always want something new to recommend and talk about.
Use the free chapter as the book review for those who left your cart without buying (To lure them back).
A good idea is to create a year-worth editorial calendar and time your free chapter or repackage edition release towards upcoming holidays and events. Here's how M-Connect Media is announcing its ecommerce guide right in time for Black Friday, for example. Or here's how SEJ launched their Pubcon guide making sure the conference visitors have enough time to get ready for the event (releasing too early or too late will diminish the purpose).
You could pick some major timely takeaways and publish a whitepaper, or create a separate case study or an inspirational collection of quotes timing all those releases to relevant holidays.
Social networks have great opportunities for advertising. But I would say the strongest for ebook promotion is going to be Facebook.
Their budgeting constraints as selected by you, the wide scope of visibility per dollar spent, and the visual nature of ads right on the feed make it a fantastic place to go to get the word out without spending a lot to do it. If you plan to continuously run Facebook ads (especially if you couple them with Google Ads), try using Cyfe to monitor the campaigns within one dashboard. It's so convenient!
You can also make a tab on your Facebook page dedicated entirely to your ebook and a link launching to your site where it can be paid for with a like, as mentioned before. Thereby feeding the circle, and increasing the success on Facebook of your product.
Not everyone takes advantage of Amazon these days, and it is understandable. Competition is fierce, and your profits will be cut into by steep fees.
But if you are publishing for exposure and ad revenue, you can publish on Amazon for free and end up on numerous free ebook mailing lists that you apply for, getting you to hundreds of thousand of potential readers.
Influencer marketing has many forms. Go to Twitter and begin conversations with influencers in your industry, and those related. Ask them if they would like a free copy a couple weeks before it is release, in return for an honest review or blurb about it. You would be surprised by how many take you up on the offer.
You want to establish long-lasting relationships that are mutually beneficial, offering them visibility in return.
If you are on good terms with a couple of them, they are often more than happy to throw you a tweet or Facebook post if they think your ebook will be something their followers could genuinely benefit from.

Happy weekend friends! I don't know about you, but these last couple weekends before Christmas are feeling extra busy. So much shopping and baking to do and not enough time to do it all in.
