Foreign Relations of the United States, 1955–1957, Soviet Union, Eastern Mediterranean, Volume XXIV
126. Telegram From the Embassy in the United Kingdom to the Department of State1
London, September 9, 1955—7 p.m.
975. In its reconsideration of situation in eastern Mediterranean in wake of collapse of Cyprus conference and flare-up of ancient Greek-Turkish hatred, Department may wish to take into account following factors affecting British position primarily.
Complex of Middle East problems, including failure of MEDO,2 conclusion of Suez evacuation agreement,3 and now [Page 283]Greek-Turkish imbroglio in its present incandescence, in British eyes give Cyprus under firm British control a strategic importance which it has not had since 1878. While some observers here (and not only Labor critics of government's Cyprus policy) challenge this thesis on grounds island has many defects as base under modern conditions, Cabinet's adherence to this view accounts for Macmillan's emphatic repudiation of intention to apply principle of self-determination in Cyprus within foreseeable future. Embassy believes government recognizes Cyprus might be virtually useless as base in event outbreak of third world war but assesses its present vital importance in terms of United Kingdom's peace-time strategic posture toward Middle East and operations short of major war it might be called upon to undertake to live up to its commitments there.
Hardly anyone here in or outside government has been or is happy about Cyprus policy but recriminations or cries over spilt milk seem likely to take form that British concessions (willingness to discuss situation with Greeks and liberality of self-government proposals) might have been enough to reach agreement 2 years or even year ago though no British Government could have given up both Suez and Cyprus simultaneously and successfully faced a general election. In existing situation Embassy anticipates bipartisan support for government's contention that any weakening on self-determination issue in near future would not only vitiate usefulness of base but even more serious would invite unilateral Turkish action and communal explosion on island. In other words British flexibility now would evoke disorders rather than calm them.
Embassy recognizes of course difficulties in way of realization of British desideratum, namely, attempt to shelve self-determination theme in order to concentrate on development of self-government. Our impression is however that British are in earnest about quickly increasing prerogatives of Cypriots while assuring rights of Turkish minority and will go further than now indicated once they are assured self-government will not mean Communist coup on lines of British Guiana.4 To best of Embassy's knowledge Turks have not until recently opposed constitutional advances in Cyprus and Greeks [Page 284]have no sound reason for refusing to increase political experience of their Cypriot blood brothers as prelude to further study of island's future status.
If Department concludes that U.S. should intervene directly in this hornet's nest, I suggest that effort to preach benefits of sweet reason … is too narrow an approach. More promising would be confidential and discreet approach to both Athens and Ankara on basis: (a) Put aside self-determination for time being; (b) British have belatedly but now evidenced sincere intention to improve political status of all Cypriots and their proposals deserve serious study; (c) Reply to British in noncommittal fashion which will enable Macmillan to reconvene conference after considerable interval to discuss only self-government for Cyprus; and (d) Utilize conference to explore and test British constitutional plans.
From Embassy's viewpoint it is most undesirable to leave Greeks with any idea that U.S. believes United Nations discussion of issue could be fruitful or serve to diminish tensions. Whereas last year British were on defensive about their weak position, they now are almost sure (hotly supported by Turks) to reiterate issue is within their domestic jurisdiction and to contend that their proposals for self-government provide a fair and attractive basis for eventual reconsideration of principle of self-determination once representative institutions in Cyprus are functioning democratically and efficiently.

In October 1951, the United Kingdom, the United States, and France, in an effort to formulate a regional plan for Middle East defense, proposed the idea of a Middle East Defense Organization (MEDO) to Egypt. No Arab states were receptive to the initial plan. This plan, sponsored under the auspices of the United Kingdom and the United States, was realized in February 1955 with the conclusion of the Baghdad Pact between Iraq and Turkey. For documentation on the origins of the Middle East Defense Organization, see Foreign Relations, 1951, vol. V, pp. 1 ff.↩
On October 19, 1954, the Governments of Egypt and the United Kingdom concluded an agreement regarding the British evacuation of the Canal Zone. Among its provisions, the agreement provided for the complete withdrawal of all British forces from Egyptian territory within 20 months. For text of the accord, see Documents (R.I.I.A.) for 1954, pp. 248–254.↩
In 1953, the East Indian-supported People's Progressive Party of Dr. Cheddi B. Jagan came into power in British Guiana. Later the same year he was removed because of British fears that the party had pro-Communist tendencies.↩

Bora Bora is often called the most beautiful island in the world, and most will agree that it truly is. This tiny island, just 18 miles in circumference, is encircled in a protective necklace of coral. Breathtaking emerald mountains provide a dramatic backdrop for the indescribable turquoise, lapis and aquamarine of the sheltered lagoon. Arriving by air provides a unique experience of landing on the airstrip built by the US troops during WWII. The runway is on a motu (small islet), and visitors much travel by boat to reach the main island. It's no surprise that most of the island's activities center on the spectacular lagoon. For a half-day journey of exploration, nothing beats a jeep tour through the interior of this wondrous island. Bora Bora, known in the ancient language as Pora Pora, is believed to mean "first born" and comes from Polynesian legends describing this as the first island to rise when Taaroa, the supreme god, fished it out of the waters after the mythical creation of Havai'i, now known as Raiatea.
Taha'a and sister island Raiatea share a barrier reef. Taha'a offers a glimpse of the traditional tranquil life of Tahitians. The flower-shaped island's simple beauty is charmed by soft mountain shapes and surrounded by tiny motus with bright sand beaches. In fertile valleys that stretch within the island, local farmers grow watermelon, vanilla and copra. The 4000 residents fish from the lagoon and raise livestock. Each November, this island comes alive with a Stone fishing tournament. In the method of their ancestors, the villagers wade into the lagoon, beating the water with stones tied to ropes. The frenzy frightens the schools of fish, driving them ashore, where they are easily collected for a feast.
Raiatea is considered the most revered island in all the South Pacific. Historically, kings from neighboring islands would gather at the marae (temple) Taputapuatea for important ceremonies and negotiations. Re-enactments of these ceremonies unfold on the restores maraes, helping visitors discover the Tahitian culture. Raiatea has the only navigable river in the islands and guests visiting on the yacht may experience a kayak along the Faaroa River. On the slopes of Mt. Temehani visitors can discover the Tiara Apetahi, a rare flower that is found only on this mountain on Raiatea. Botanists have unsuccessfully tried to grow it elsewhere. Legend says there was once a lovely Tahitian girl who fell in love with the son of a Tahitian king. She died of a broken heart, because they could never marry. The five delicate petals represent her hand. Those who climb the mountain early in the morning, will see the Tiara Apetahi open at dawn, with a slight crackling sound – the sound of her heart breaking. Raiatea, meaning "faraway heaven" and "sky with soft light", was first names Havai'i after the homeland of the ancient Polynesians and is the most sacred island in the South Pacific. This, the second largest Tahitian isle, was the center of religion and culture more than 1,000 years ago and lends enchantment to ancient legends told to this day. The green carpeted mountains covering the interior include the celebrated Mt. Temehani, a sort of Polynesian Mt. Olympus.
Huahine is actually two islands, joined by a narrow isthmus and encircled by a barrier reef. Huahine's magic is felt instantly upon arrival, and the proud people of this island do their best to make all visitors feel welcome. A 20-mile road winds through the island, passing through small villages and climbing high into the hills to offer spectacular views of the white sand beaches and brilliant turquoise lagoons. Restored Tahitian maraes and centuries old stone fish traps tell
the story of an ancient culture whose proud descendants still reside in this magnificent paradise. Huahine is an agricultural island, rich with watermelons and cantaloupes. Vanilla, coffee and taro plantations are plentiful, as are the groves of breadfruit, mango, banana, papaya and flowers. International surfing champions seek the massive waves at Avamoa Pass and the world's larges outrigger canoe race, the Hawaiki Nui Va'a, begins here in October. Huahine is sparsely populated and visitors will fall in love with the remote, unspoiled scenery and relaxed pace of this island. The island's enduring name, Huahine, is thought to be inspired by the profile of a mountain which reveals the shape of a pregnant woman. Mythology provides two legends for the creation of the two islands of Huahine: either the god Hiro cut the island in half with his canoe or a spear thrown in a contest among the gods pierced Moorea's Mt. Mouaputa and then sailed 100 miles where it split Huahine in two!

Take a close look at your left and right hand. If you find that you have a guardian angel line, consider yourself really lucky because this line indicates that you're protected from misfortune, no matter what kind of hardships you may be faced with.
Since ancient times, people have believed that their future is written on the lines of their hands. Our left hand is said to have our past life written on it, while our right hand reveals our present and future.
In palmistry, however, both hands are interpreted, while the guardian angel line is thought to be a very good sign.
The guardian angel line shows that you're protected by a higher power. If you have it, this line is located near your line of life and indicates that you're shielded from all kinds of severe twists and turns in life.
Few people actually have it on their hand but those that do are indeed lucky, for they'll be protected from misfortune of any kind.
The guardian angel line is also called the "second line of life." And not because it's in proximity to it but because it signifies salvation, protection and strong support.
It is parallel to the line of life. If they are the same length, this means that you'll be shielded by your guardian angel throughout your entire life. Sometimes the guardian angel line is shorter, in which case you'll only receive support from higher powers during a particular period in your life.
Breaks and twists along the line of life represent various troubles, illnesses and poverty but if you have a guardian angel line next to it, it means you're going to overcome all of these.
If there's a guardian angel line present only on your right hand, this indicates that you're going to receive support due to the good deeds you've done now or will do in the future, and if it is only on your left hand - the support is due to suffering you've experienced in the past.

The first unit of Personal Finance will focus on making money. The student will complete both a Resume and Cover Letter that could be used for a job interview. The first step in becoming financially responsible and independent is to earn money. Furthermore, students will calculate Gross paychecks as well as research different companies that they may want to work at one day. Unit 1 will consist of Chapters 1 and 2 in our textbook, and materials from other resources.


For many Christians, the term "social justice" (or "social gospel") is a dirty word. A simple study of contemporary Protestant history in America reveals why. In the early part of the 20th Century, many Protestant churches found shame in "preaching the cross." That God would kill His own Son, Jesus, for humanity was appalling. So they began to focus on doing "social justice" instead of preaching the finished work in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. They focused on demonstration instead of proclamation. Those churches that would not be swayed from preaching "Jesus Christ and Him crucified" (1 Cor. 2:2) actively spoke against this "social gospel" and continued to preach the finished work of Jesus. Thus a great divide was erected among those who called themselves Christians. On the one side, churches proclaimed the cross and salvation in the name of Jesus—the evangelical churches. On the other side, the churches who were ashamed to preach the cross instead chose to focus on the social implications of God's kingdom—the social gospel churches. One focused on gospel proclamation. The other focused on gospel demonstration. Given the space limitations I have, this is a realistic, although overly simplistic, summary of what transpired. For this reason, in our own tribe, clearly being evangelical, social justice is a derogatory term.
But here's the thing: the gospel of Jesus Christ does have very pronounced social implications.
God's word exhorts us towards social justice. Justice is very much at the heart of God and the finished work of Jesus. You know that in the Hebrew language, "righteousness" and "justice" come from the same root word. God is righteous and just. We are reminded by the prophet Isaiah, "Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes, Cease to do evil, Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow" (Isaiah 1:16-17) We love to quote Micah 6:8, "He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?" The call to seek justice indisputably rings.
In the New Testament, we see that the finished work of the death and resurrection of Jesus impacts how humans are to interact socially. Our oft-quoted Acts 2 passage shows how a truly Spirit-filled church conducts itself. This passage contains radical acts of social justice (people voluntarily selling what they had to provide for others in need - Acts 2:45). The Jerusalem Council reminded believers to remember the poor (Gal. 2:10). The Apostle Paul was not shy to ask for money from the Gentile churches to help support the impoverished Jewish church (2 Cor. 8). James reminded us that pure and undefiled religion was to visit widows and orphans (James 1:27). These were all acts of social justice!
Think about what Jesus taught.
The greatest commandment is to love God with the totality of our being. The second commandment is to love our neighbor as ourselves. When we choose to love God, we are invited by the Spirit to love our neighbor. When we love our neighbor as we love ourselves, we find ourselves working for the way things ought to be for them. We advocate for people and work to make sure that they are taken care of properly. We become a voice to those without a voice. We love them the way God loves us. In the classic Sheep and Goat Parable of Matthew 25, we find the defining characteristic for differentiation based on simple acts of justice (clothing, feeding and caring).
So how is it possible then that social justice can be vulgarism for many?
The last three paragraphs were not even close to an exhaustive look at what God's word says on the subject. Over and over again, we are exhorted to do justice to others. So how should we proceed?
I want to share with you what I believe to be the key to this dilemma. We are empowered by the Spirit to proclaim the gospel and to demonstrate the gospel. It is not either, or; it is both. Although there was a division in Protestantism historically, there is not a division in our Bibles. We are meant to proclaim the finished work of Jesus and live out all of the resurrected reality in real life, real time and at street level for people. We proclaim, and we demonstrate.
But always remember this: A person is saved by the finished work of Jesus Christ.
We are saved by grace, through faith, apart from works (even works of social justice). The good news is that Jesus is Lord. The gospel is what God has done for us, not what we can do for God or for others. But this amazing salvation has radical implications when we live out of the overflow of God's love. Because we are saved, we respond to God's love by engaging in works of social compassion and justice. We let the finished work of Jesus influence everything we do.
At Crossroads (www.crossroadschurch.net), where I have the pleasure to be a pastor, we always say that we are "simply responding to Jesus." Because of our salvation, we live self-sacrificially towards others. We do it because of what Jesus has done for us. We call our social compassion arm "LoveNow" because we are called to love now!
Since we are not ashamed to preach the cross, and we chose to engage our communities in their places of pain in the name of Jesus, we can see the gospel move out unhindered. We show our communities the love of God (in acts of social justice) and tell them why (because of the finished work of Jesus). My friends, do not be afraid of social justice. Boldly preach the finished work of Jesus and boldly live out all of its implications.

Despite having left coding 20 years ago and going over to the other side of offering and product management, I'm still a techie at heart. Next to seeing customers happy with our solutions, I also get excited about cool new tech that solves real business problems in a beautifully elegant way.
One of the major challenges organizations struggle with in their security information and event management (SIEM) and security operations is the need for stability, robustness and predictability. Threats are operating 24/7 and the business stakes are high. To stay ahead of those rapidly developing threats, organizations need real agility, collaboration and continuously delivered innovation.
This was the key driving factor behind the IBM Security App Exchange and the QRadar SIEM app framework. But how do you deliver both sets of seemingly conflicting requirements? We knew bolt-ons and closed solutions where not going to deliver the agility, simplified workflows and lower operational costs that customers needed. We've all seen these approaches do little for organizations except add overheads and complexity.
IBM completely opened up the QRadar platform to enable third-party vendors (including our competitors), partners and other teams within IBM to create, seamlessly integrate and embed solutions with QRadar. This was done in the form of pluggable, independent QRadar apps, thereby enabling that agility, ecosystem and innovation. To date, we now have over 75 apps on the App Exchange from dozens of vendors, covering myriad security operations processes.
What isn't immediately obvious, though, is what a QRadar App actually is and why it is so important. To some, an app is maybe something as simple as a few searches, dashboards or correlation rules. While this is true, there is much more to a QRadar app, stemming from its innovative use of the Docker technology. We integrated Docker directly into QRadar — so much so that it is now, by default, present in every single QRadar instance, from the smallest versions running on laptops to the largest global deployments.
What is so wonderful about Docker? Docker is a relatively new containerization technology. It enables applications to be written and deployed into containers running in a machine instance or virtual machine (VM) without all the overhead of a full operating system for each container. Containers can store all the software they need to operate and can leverage the core host operating system (OS) for the remainder. More importantly, containers completely isolate apps from each other and the QRadar platform, so one app cannot consume all the resources on the host and cause another to fail.
Why is this so important for QRadar? Docker provides the stability and robustness through the QRadar platform and containerized apps, but it also enables agility and ecosystem through openness, pluggability and seamless app integration. It empowers QRadar apps with searches and rules, new user interfaces, data stores and complex analytics leveraging technologies such as Hadoop and Spark.
A great example of an app making full use of the QRadar Application Framework and Docker containers is the new User Behavior Analytics App. This app adds new data models, analytics, visualizations, dashboards and application program interfaces (APIs) and plans to utilize Spark to enable more advanced machine learning and behavioral analytics than those found in traditional SIEM solutions.
Years ago, we called the QRadar architecture the "Security Intelligence Operating System (SIOS)." This is finally being fully recognized in a very tangible way thanks to these new innovations. With built-in Docker containerization and pluggable analytics from Spark, we are really excited about how effectively this technology has enabled collaboration, innovation and integration in an easily consumable and secure way. To top it all off, we have apps in the pipeline that are exciting, game changing and just outright cool!


Musical instruments similar to the modern guitar have been used throughout much of history and by many different cultures and peoples. Instruments like the guitar may have been played as far back as 3,000 years ago.
The English word "guitar" comes from the Spanish word guitarra. Prior to that, it likely was formed from the Latin word "cithara" and an ancient Sanskrit "tar", which meant string.
The oldest surviving guitar-like instrument comes from Ancient Egypt. It was used by a singer to the Egyptian queen Hatshepsut named Har-Mose. You can see this guitar today in Cairo, Egypt at the Archaeological Museum.
The Lute came to Europe between the 6th and the 9th century in many forms. It was brought to the Byzantine Empire as the Barbat. Later it showed up in Spain from the Moors who brought the Oud. These instruments became the Lute which was a popular instrument in the European Middle Ages.
One of the predecessors to the modern day classical guitar was the Baroque guitar. It was played during the European Renaissance in the 1600s. The Baroque guitar had 9 or 10 strings with 2 strings generally tuned to the same course or note. A lower E string was added later as the form moved toward the modern guitar.
In the 1800s Antonio Torres Jurado started building guitars in a similar fashion to the modern classical and acoustic guitars. Most of today's guitars are derivatives, or alterations, of guitars that Torres designed and built. He is often called the Stradivari of guitars (Antonio Stradivari being the world famous violin maker).
The electric guitar was invented in the United States in the 1930s. The first patent for the electric guitar was awarded to George Beauchamp for a guitar he made with partner Adolph Rickenbacker in 1931. A lot of other inventors and guitar makers were working on electric guitars at the same time. Famous electric guitar makers included Les Paul who pioneered the solid body guitar made by Gibson Guitars.
In 1951 Leo Fender invented the Fender Telecaster. This guitar, together with the Gibson Les Paul, the Fender Telecaster, and the Gibson SG would make solid-body electric guitars hugely popular. These are still the most popular styles and models made today.


Lady Di is the ground-breaking hull number one that launched the Krogen 39 phenomenon. She was delivered in 1998, wow, twenty years ago! You can't judge a book by its' cover and the same follows for Lady Di, (except her cover and all of the pages inside look much newer looking than her model year proclaims).
Economical, efficient and practical, Lady Di is a very appealing choice for first time trawler owners or for sailors who are ready to make the trawler transition and are looking for the room and space more equivalent to accommodations found in a 45' sailboat.
Lady Di was purchased in 2017 by her third owner who attended to all of the survey recommendations and has had her systems and machinery all serviced for cruising. With the survey projects completed (including a new main engine shaft, bottom paint, propeller tuning, etc.) they have recently settled in to enjoy her – only to realize that the boat they bought may be ideal for two people; but when their grandkids come aboard they are short on sleeping accommodations. For this reason alone, they have decided to sell Lady Di and are already looking to purchase a similar quality trawler when they find one a bit larger and with a true second stateroom.
Designed by Jim Krogen (senior) to be an offshore, ocean crossing livable trawler for two people, the Krogen 39 has exceeded that goal. She is both compact (for marina slips) and large (spacious interior volume including standing headroom in the front of the engine room) at the same time. Easy to dock with her refined hull shape including wine glass transom and fitted with a bow thruster this is a single engine trawler that is easy to handle. Her exterior; swim platform, covered cockpit, side decks, foredeck, boat deck and flybridge provides a variety of outdoor living space.
From the beginning, the systems on Lady Di have been purposely minimal. She is a back-to-basics boat that includes the essentials favored by three owners now. Simple, understated, exceptional. The Krogen 39 is a very good secret that is still not as well-known as she should be. Lady Di has been looked after with regular and caring maintenance, she is as dependable as she is reliable.
The Kadey-Krogen line is very popular and celebrated for their seakeeping abilities. The brand is famous for their gorgeous finish: glistening gelcoat, sparkling stainless and beautiful teak timber throughout. Lady Di is the equal in elegance to her larger siblings all hand built by Asia Harbor Yacht Builders in Taiwan. The Krogen 39 is no longer in production, the costs to build them became to high and so there are only about 50 hulls sailing the seven seas.
A true full displacement, long range trawler, she is an ideal cruising platform for an adventurous couple. During her career, Lady Di has covered the US west coast down south to Mexico and up north to Alaska. She has been on the San Francisco Bay for the past few years and now resides in Vallejo, CA home of the California Maritime Academy. Provisioned and topped off with fuel she is a few short miles away from clearing the Golden Gate with a virtually unlimited itinerary of blue water to explore.
The Krogen 39 lives up to the Kadey-Krogen marketing slogan, "At Home On Any Sea".
Sharing the rugged good looks of her siblings, the Krogen 39 is often mistaken for one of her larger sisters, especially when perspective is difficult offshore. The high bow keeps her dry at sea and she is gracefully proportional, everything is just right.
Boarding aft (from the swim step or dock) you enter the cockpit which is covered overhead and includes teak decking underfoot. The cockpit has a ladder for access up to the boat deck and flybridge.
From the cockpit going forward there are teak side decks port and starboard (covered) that merge into fiberglass steps that lead up to the foredeck.
The foredeck has stainless safety rails and a horizontal electric windlass with a complement of anchors and assorted ground tackle.
The boat deck is above the cockpit and connected by the ladder that has a hatch covering for safety. Her RIB tender dinghy is mounted fore / aft (guarding the hatch with a stainless pen). The painted aluminum spar arrangement provides antenna mounting on the mast, and the boom serves as the dinghy launching davit.
Forward and up on top, the flybridge has a folding canvas Bimini cover. There is outboard bench seating on each side. This is an ideal location for cruising on a sunny day or for relaxing safe in harbor with a spectacular view. You can steer the stainless-steel destroyer helm, thrust the bow and monitor basic navigation electronics from this perch.
Entering through the saloon door from the cockpit, you will appreciate the fantastic visibility to the outside through teak framed opening windows and will be greeted by a warm teak interior. There are built in settees port and starboard with comfortable Ultrasuede upholstery and a teak parquet floor. The dining table is a teak high – low that can be easily tucked away while offshore or repositioned outside in the cockpit. There is a built-in bank of drawers with a counter surface forward to port and the steps here lead up to the pilothouse.
The galley is forward to starboard lined with white Corian counters and white laminate verticals to keep it light and easier to clean. There is an opening portlight outboard to provide both a view and ventilation. The galley includes lockers and drawers, a tall refrigerator, large sink, stove and oven plus microwave for easy and satisfying meal preparation.
Moving forward and up the steps to the pilothouse, you pass an outboard locker with a louvered door that conceals the combo clothes washer/dryer. The pilothouse has an impressive view making operations underway very easy to manage and includes doors to the outside decks port and starboard. There is a wide and comfortable settee with a table aft, and the forward nav/com dash has an appropriate concentration of navigation and communications electronics and features a large teak steering wheel on centerline. The flooring is teak and holly and the rich teak joinery in the pilothouse is complemented by white surfaces and white overhead with an opening hatch.
Taking the stairs that curve to the lower level you reach a landing that allows you to go forward to the master stateroom, outboard to starboard to the head and shower, or aft to the engine room.
The full beam master with island queen sized walk around bed is surrounded by teak lockers and doors. Varnished teak ceilings outboard combine with white laminate to make this room feel spacious and an overhead hatch plus outboard opening portlights provide ventilation.
The head and shower include a sink basin and is surprisingly roomy and convenient for anybody aboard.
The engine room is under the saloon and has stand up 6' plus headroom as you enter and plenty of access to move around once inside. There is a work table area with a tool box and room for storage of oil, filters, etc. She is powered by a John Deere main engine. Neat installations of machinery and hose runs show the care in her construction and the foresight for easy servicing and maintenance. are evident.
Lady Di is a "secret" you need to see for yourself to truly appreciate. Please contact the listing broker for a visit as all showings are by appointment only.
Note: Propeller is pitched for efficiency not for full RPM at wide open throttle.

If you haven't yet started with Shopify, you'll want to do so right now by clicking here. This month we're building a profitable Shopify store from the ground up.
Yesterday we revealed 3 Tips to Immediately Improve Your Theme.
Today we cover 2 reasons Your "Store Is Losing Money" on Fb Ads.
There are some changes happening within Facebook Advertising.
Since we are rapidly approaching Black Friday and Cyber Monday, many, many more people from tier 1-3 countries will be looking to increase online purchase frequency and quantities.
That said, your competition will also heavily increase, so you will most likely see CPCs (Cost Per Clicks) increase with conversions decreasing if you haven't already.
From October 15 to about January 7th, advertising switches into Holiday mode and we must adapt accordingly.
All of the Facebook Advertising methods, tricks and hacks that we've showed you up to this point are still valid and very much useful.
If you've been following our videos and implementing the ideas taught, your FB ads will already be optimized for conversions.
However, if you're just winging it or simply copying and pasting what other people are doing, your will not see the results, and you will not get conversions. Eventually the ad sets that were not optimized will basically be killed off completely by Facebook for under performing.
While Facebook throws out "50" conversions as the baseline goal. According to our research and the word of well informed insiders, the number is actually 25 conversions per week to avoid ad set failure.
When you're creating ad sets, you have a "conversion window" option that can be set. Be sure to set yours for at least 7 days. Those who set their conversion window up for 1 day, are setting themselves up for Facebook failure.
For step by step instructions on creating your Facebook ad sets, check out this post.
Those 25-50 weekly results per ad set, don't necessarily need to be conversions.
Facebook lets you decide which result is the goal and then judges your ad performance based on whichever settings you went with.
We recommend you identify the "result" that works best for each product's specific ad set.
So pick one of your Shopify store products to promote, and create several individual ad sets with a different "result" goal for each.
Launch one at a time and wait until each new ad set reaches the 25 results minimum prior to launching the next with a different result in mind.
We want at least one of these ad sets to meet Facebooks minimum requirement so we can pause the others, and scale the one that is working.
Especially as competition picks up this holiday season, we don't want to disqualify ourselves right out of the gate by lacking results.
That's a wrap for Day 18 – Well done!

Q: Flutter. How to disable "Double tap to activate, double tap and hold to long press" hint in accessibility mode Currently, I'm working with Accessibility in Flutter and on android devices it's pronouncing this hint: "double tap to activate, double tap and hold to long press".
As far as I know this hint pronounced if widget is clickable, so I tried wrapping child of this widget with BlockSemantics (didn't work), also wrapped this clickable widget with Semantics and set property button: false but that also didn't help.
This how my widget looks.
  return GestureDetector(
        behavior: HitTestBehavior.opaque,
        onTap: () => widget.onItemSelect(),
        onLongPress: () => widget.onItemLongPress(),
        child: childWidget,
       );

How can I disable this?

A: GestureDetector has a excludeSemantics property, so I set it to true. It will NOT block child widget's semantics, it will just disable semantics for GestureDetector widget itself, and as a result Android accessibility hint also turn off

(«Как назвать эту любовь?», , ) — индийский телесериал, транслировавшийся по телеканалу Star Plus. Название телесериала позаимствовано из песни «Rabba Mere Rabba» болливудского фильма «Очарование любви» (2001). С 24 по 30 ноября 2015 года сериал продлен на финальные спецсерии, которые включают в себя краткое содержание о прошлом и в то же время, там будут репортажи самих актеров.Является телесериалом о жизни людей всех социальных классов и отражает тенденцию, характерную для индийских мыльных опер начала  — фокусировать внимание на личных отношениях пары, и их взаимоотношениях с родственниками. Как и многие другие телесериалы социальной направленности затронул проблему повторного брака. Основная сюжетная линия телесериала имеет некоторое сходство с сюжетом сказки «Красавица и чудовище» и историей любви Радхи и Кришны, о чём упоминается непосредственно в содержании серий. На основе сериала были адаптированы следующие ремейки: "Они не могут понять друг друга"(2012), "Арагини"(2013), "Wassanaye Premaya"(2015). "Как назвать эту любовь" - из немногих индийских телесериалов, ставший очень популярным не только в Индии, но и за рубежом.

24 ноября 2015 года, после трехлетнего перерыва, сериал вернулся на канал "Hotstar" с восемью финальными сериями. Вэб-эпизоды вышли под брендом "Hotstar Originals", продюсерами выступила компания "Entertainment Mafia".

Сюжет
Кхуши очень любит свою сестру Паяль, но по стечению обстоятельств становится причиной срыва её свадьбы и последующего разорения своего приёмного отца. Опасаясь усугубления ситуации, скрывает от родителей, что настоящим виновником произошедшего стал совсем другой человек — высокомерный, пренебрегающий традициями бизнесмен Арнав Сингх Райзада, который помешал ей вовремя попасть на свадьбу. Однако вскоре он сам напоминает о себе: по местному телевидению показывают сюжет, в котором Кхуши показана вместе с ним в двусмысленной ситуации. Семья Кхуши публично опозорена и обеих девушек на две недели отправляют в Дели, к вдовствующей тёте.

По совету влюблённого в неё знакомого по имени Шьям, она устраивается на работу в компанию «ASR», даже не догадываясь, что название этой фирмы — это инициалы её владельца. Обнаружив друг друга в офисе, Кхуши и Арнав заключают пари на сто тысяч рупий. Арнав превращает каждый день девушки в ад, и Кхуши, под давлением родственников, увольняется с работы раньше срока. Вскоре к ней обращается за помощью сестра Арнава Анджали и предлагает работу в доме её врага в обмен на прощение долга.

Приступив к исполнению своих обязанностей она узнаёт, что Арнав сирота и, также как и она, готов на всё ради счастья сестры. Вскоре Кхуши замечает и другое: несмотря на грубое отношение к ней, он всегда готов защитить её в случае опасности. Кхуши влюбляется в него, и начинает подозревать, что её любовь взаимна. Но из-за интриг Шьяма, который оказывается мужем Анджали, вместо признания в любви Арнав с помощью шантажа заставляет её выйти за себя замуж, нарушив все традиции и рассорившись со всеми родственниками. Решив досадить мужу, Кхуши окружает его такой любовью, что это сначала приводит Арнава в ярость, потом становится нормой его жизни. Но даже после их свадьбы Шьям продолжает свои интриги, он похищает Арнава с целью заполучить все его состояние и жениться впоследствии на Кхуши. Кхуши с самого начала чувствует, что с мужем что-то случилось, она прилагает все возможные усилия, чтобы найти Арнава, в этом ей помогают Манорама, а затем НК. В конечном итоге Арнав и Кхуши вместе спасаются от бандитов, нанятых Шьямом, все недомолвки и преграды между ними рухнули, и Арнав решает жениться на своей жене ещё раз. В последней серии Кхуши Кумари Гупта Сингх Райзада побеждает в конкурсе «Миссис Индия» и осознаёт, что её муж всегда был тем человеком, который делал её сильнее.

González-García, C., Cantini, M., Ballester-Beltrán, J., Altankov, G., Salmerón-Sánchez, M., (2018). The strength of the protein-material interaction determines cell fate Acta Biomaterialia 77, 74-84
Extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins are key mediators of cell/material interactions. The surface density and conformation of these proteins adsorbed on the material surface influence cell adhesion and the cellular response. We have previously shown that subtle variations in surface chemistry lead to drastic changes in the conformation of adsorbed fibronectin (FN). On poly(ethyl acrylate) (PEA), FN unfolds and displays domains for cell adhesion and FN-FN interaction, whereas on poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA) – with only one methyl group less – FN remains globular as it is in solution. The effect of the strength of the protein/material interaction in cell response, and its relation to protein density and conformation, has received limited attention so far. In this work, we used FN-functionalized AFM cantilevers to evaluate, via force spectroscopy, the strength of interaction between fibronectin and the underlying polymer which controls FN conformation (PEA and PMA). We found that the strength of FN/PEA interaction is significantly higher than FN/PMA, which limits the mobility of FN layer on PEA, reduces the ability of cells to mechanically reorganize FN and then leads to enhanced proteolysis and degradation of the surrounding matrix with compromised cell viability. By contrast, both PEA and PMA support cell adhesion when FN density is increased and also in the presence of serum or other serum proteins, including vitronectin (VN) and bovine serum albumin (BSA), which provide a higher degree of mobility to the matrix. Statement of Significance: The identification of parameters influencing cell response is of paramount importance for the design of biomaterials that will act as synthetic scaffolds for cells to anchor, grow and, eventually, become specialised tissues. Cells interact with materials through an intermediate layer of proteins adsorbed on the material surface. It is known that the density and conformation of these proteins determine cell behaviour. Here we show that the strength of protein/material interactions, which has received very limited attention so far, is key to understand the cellular response to biomaterials. Very strong protein/material interactions reduce the ability of cells to mechanically reorganize proteins at the material interface which results in enhanced matrix degradation, leading ultimately to compromised cell viability.
