Home / Selling made easy: Creating the perfect eBay listing!
With several design options now available, offered both within eBay and externally by design applications (such as 3Dsellers), it begs the question: What IS the perfect eBay listing design? As many sellers are aware, one of the fastest paths to more sales is to optimize your listings. An optimized listing makes it easy for buyers to find an item, as it entices them to view the item in its entirety before clicking "buy". Therefore, every eBay store owner needs to understand how to present its listings to buyers in a way that convinces them to make a purchase through them and not through a competitor.
The secret to a perfect listing starts with putting yourself in the buyer's shoes. Therefore, let's first look at how buyers can find your store, then we will delve into what to do once they're there.
The buyer experience can be compared to shopping for groceries. Imagine eBay is a grocery store. How do you make sure your product is displayed on the right aisle and shelf? Once a customer heads to the aisle where your product is located, what will make them look at your product instead of the dozens of other similar products? And, once they have your product in their hand, what's going to entice them to buy it? Once you master this, you can then optimize your listings for more traffic and increase sales.
3Dsellers Listing Designer allows you to customize listings with just a few clicks of a button.
The first step in optimizing your listing is to help buyers find the products you're listing. The best way to do this is through structured data. Structured data is a standardized format for providing information about a listing and classifying it for content; for example, on an air conditioner listing it would be its features, the available fan settings, and temperature limits, the voltage, if it is smartphone compatible, and so on. Structured data helps eBay put your product in the right "aisle" so a buyer can find it more easily. For example, when a buyer comes to eBay and shops for a tv, they can browse the category by factors such as screen size and brand, check out product reviews, and search for items that are brand new, nearly new, or pre-owned. Once they choose, they'll be taken to the "aisle"—the browse page—with those products.
But, if you don't tell eBay what your item is, it won't know where to put it. A listing without product identification is the equivalent of an unlabelled brown box in a grocery store stockroom. If you haven't used structured data to tell eBay where your items belongs a buyer shopping for that item might never see it!
eBay makes it easy to add this data. When you upload an item with a product identifier, eBay auto-populates a lot of specifics for you and makes item-specific recommendations that you can apply with one simple click.
Back in the eBay "grocery store," you've gotten the buyer to your "aisle" and they're looking at a wall of products, many of which look similar. How do you get them to click on your listing instead of the dozens or hundreds of others?
Put yourself in the buyer's shoes. Take a look at the pages your items will show up on and think about what would make you want to click on something. Look at the sellers around you. Do their items look more enticing than yours?
Image is the number one thing that makes a buyer click or not, and a poor photo can make a buyer question how professional the transaction will be. Make sure your photos look as professional as possible. Use a white background, don't use the flash, take photos from multiple angles without props, fill the frame, take high-resolution photos and edit your photo to sharpen and enhance.
eBay offers some free pointers in regards to optimizing images for listings.
Consider your price as well. Remember, online, buyers don't have to drive across town, they just have to check another listing to compare. So, use the pricing guidance tool in the Growth tab of the Seller Hub to see suggested prices and consider using Promotions Manager or strikethrough pricing to entice buyers with a deal.
Straight from the horse's mouth: eBay's tips for better selling.
Structured data got the buyer to your "aisle." Professional photos and the right title and price enticed them to look at your item. Now the buyer is deciding whether or not to put your product in their cart. It's time to close the deal.
First, make sure you are using structured fields to manage shipping price, returns, and handling times; it's more difficult to manage references in multiple listings if your listings aren't consistent and it's important to make sure this info is accurate and up to date. As you will see in the screenshot below, our listing designer allows you to do this with a few simple clicks. Best of all, you can apply any setting to all your listings with one touch of a button. A tip from us here is to avoid any off-putting disclaimers (for example: I'm not responsible for any damage during shipping.) By highlighting that, you might lose the buyer.
One of several options to display structured fields from our FREE Listing Designer.
Think about what you can offer to instill more confidence in your buyer, and assure them that this is the item they must have. Same-day handling is one feature that can build excitement and maintain good feelings in the buyer. Sixty-day returns can also entice buyers and increase their trust. Other ways to sweeten the deal for buyers include free shipping, eBay Guaranteed Delivery, and donating a portion of your sales to a good cause through eBay for Charity.
If your listing has beautiful photos and a great price, but you haven't used product identifiers, buyers won't make it to your listing. If you've used product identifiers and have great traffic, but your listing has issues, you won't see sales. The bottom line: all three of these tactics have to work together to create the perfect listing.
#1. First Impressions are everything!
The first section of your store should be focused on showcasing your brand. Therefore, think about it as your "hello" to your customer. Do you want to appear and professional and grab their attention? Of course, you do!
Think about it this way, what would be a customer's impression of an order when they see how much attention a seller has put into their branding? Chances are, they will see your store as reputable and trustworthy. Therefore, think about a logo and perhaps a tagline which communicates the effort you keep to your customers satisfied. In the design above, you see products clearly separated by categories which creates an organized environment and directs a buyers eye. You can see categories divided into relevant fields with current special offers visible to entice an immediate action. For a listing like this, a sleek, modern logo would be the cherry on top.
As mentioned before, to have a great listing you need a high-quality image gallery. But what use are photos without a proper description? We believe a well-written, concise product description converts best. The above example executes this as it lays out a brief description of the product, what it can do, listing every feature clearly in a new line, and also offers some helpful tips for getting the best use out of the product.
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, as Da Vinci said. Therefore, using bullet points is a nice way to keep things short and simple.
Buyers know what they want and writing a thesis of a description will simply cause them to lose interest.
Tell them as much as possible using photos and graphics.
Place main highlights of your product at the top of the description to grasp immediate attention.
The third section of your listing should tell your customers what happens the moment they lick the button to buy the product. Will there be any extra postage costs, how long will it take to arrive, what happens if the customer isn't satisfied with the product or the product is faulty?
The best way to convey this is in the simplest way possible, ideally by using graphic icons. Why you may ask – because shoppers recognize icons they are interested in right away. This enables them to process the information they need much faster. In the example above, the listing shows there is free shipping, a money back guarantee and free returns. This is usually enough information for a buyer to be satisfied with making a purchase. Keep it simple, as they say!
Add your own images or choose from our FREE database of over 200,000+ HD images.
The fourth section is the one you will likely be updating on a regular basis, yet is one which can double or even triple your sales! The reason for the regular update is to frequently update your cross-promotional offers and direct your buyers to listings that have the best conversion rate and/or profit margin. In the above example, the images are hyperlinked pointing to relevant listings within the sellers' store.
This section is made up of images of some of the store's available products. This is simple and easy to create, yet it proves to be very effective if the cross-promotional products are chosen well. We advise promoting products in the same category, something your buyers might want in a bundle. It could be products which complement the current item, such as an accessory, for example, if you sell sports shoes, you could add shoelaces, running shorts, water bottles, or socks.
With 3DSellers Listing Designer, cross-selling has never been easier – try it out for yourself!
The fifth section's purpose is to give buyers information about your reputation and policy.
Some use tabs here to maximize the space given here since no customer wants to scroll through lines of boring policies this is a great way to keep things short and sweet. After all, they will unlikely read this information unless they have an issue post-sale.
This section is also great to highlight your store's reputation. If you have had great eBay feedback, are a top rated seller or sold a high number of items, this is your chance to tell the world.
You could also add an 'About Us' section here to tell your customer the story of your business or why you do what you do.
The sixth and final section is the footer. Think of this as the customer's last impression – so don't shy away from dressing it up.
Finish it off with your logo and possibly a tagline, and equally importantly add your contact email address in the form of a "Contact Us" section. This is a fast and easy way for potential customer to contact you at the click of a button. Think of it as free constructive feedback.
Take out the guesswork and use try our Listing Designer, today.
When it comes to eBay listings – appearances are RARELY deceiving! So make sure your listings is up to the mark in terms of using great images, an optimized title, organized description, informative graphics and easy to understand policies.
You might not get it right the first or second time but soon enough your business will grow significantly if you list your items effectively! It's a case of trial and error but we assure you the time spent will be worth it. This is arguably the most important area which determines your businesses success or failure. Consider breaking listings down into smaller sections in order to better understand your customer base and what they're looking for.

The Cheetah 3 robot can run and jump without seeing
The design may also be used for exploring disaster zones and other dangerous or inaccessible environments and versatile tasks such as power plant inspection.
By: IANS | New York | Published: July 6, 2018 8:39:08 pm

The Cheetah 3 robot developed by engineers at the MIT can now leap and gallop across rough terrain, climb a staircase littered with debris, and quickly recover its balance when suddenly yanked or shoved, all while essentially being blind. Described as "blind locomotion", the 90-pound mechanical beast is intentionally designed to do all this without relying on cameras or any external environmental sensors. The design may also be used for exploring disaster zones and other dangerous or inaccessible environments and versatile tasks such as power plant inspection, the researchers said.
"There are many unexpected behaviours the robot should be able to handle without relying too much on vision," said Sangbae Kim, Associate Professor and robot's designer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston. "Vision can be noisy, slightly inaccurate, and sometimes not available, and if you rely too much on vision, your robot has to be very accurate in position and eventually will be slow. "So we want the robot to rely more on tactile information. That way, it can handle unexpected obstacles while moving fast," Kim said.
The Cheetah 3 nimbly "feels" its way through its surroundings using two new algorithms — a contact detection algorithm and a model-predictive control algorithm. While the contact detection algorithm helps the robot determine the best time for a given leg to switch from swinging in the air to stepping on the ground, the model-predictive control algorithm predicts how much force a given leg should apply once it has committed to a step.

These algorithms are designed to make these calculations for each leg every 50 milliseconds, or 20 times per second. The findings will be presented at the International Conference on Intelligent Robots, in Madrid. Compared to its predecessor Cheetah 2, the robot's improved hardware also includes an expanded range of motion that allows the robot to stretch backwards and forwards, and twist from side to side, much like a cat limbering up to pounce, the researchers said.

Q: Real time data manipulation of excel sheet with Visual studio forms .net I am working on building a simple app consisting of information regarding part numbers which links dataset stored in excel, displays it appropriately in several text boxes in a form created with vb.net in visual studio, with different. The part numbers are chosen using a Combobox, which refers to the excel sheet.
With the click of a button, I want the content in the cell pertaining to a particular textbox to move to another cell and that to be displayed in real-time in the form and also updates the back-end dataset.
Any idea on how to do this?
I am getting the following error:
System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: 'The Microsoft Access database engine could not find the object '{Sheet1}${14}{2}:{14}{2}'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly. If '{Sheet1}${14}{2}:{14}{2}' is not a local object, check your network connection or contact the server administrator.'
Update: I have installed:
Microsoft access Database engine redistributable
and also changed the Platform to X86 from X64 Since I kind of figured out mine runs on 32 bit platform.
I have also changed ACE connection to Jet, enabled IIS to run on 32 bit applications after downloading Access 2010 database Engine 2010, after donwloading it from
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255
With Jet Connection, the error is:
The 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.'

The code snippet is below:
 Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

    Dim Folder As String = "S:\Special_documents\Window5 - Copy"
    Dim Filename As String = "grocerieslist.xlsx"

    Dim connectionstring As String = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" & Folder & "\" & Filename & ";Extended Properties=""Excel 12.0;HDR=YES;"""
    Dim MyConnection As New OleDbConnection(connectionstring)
    MyConnection.Open()

    Dim P As New OleDbCommand
    P.Connection = MyConnection

    P.CommandText = "Update [{Sheet1}${14}{2}:{14}{2}] SET F1=Textbox11.text"
    P.ExecuteNonQuery()

    MyConnection.Close()

A: I managed to solve this.
I realized I had to first open a database or excel file for it to update and added a select statement up
However, I am facing issues with transferring real-time date onto the excel sheet.
The data value is stored as a string variable and yet the update statement does not recognize the date as it is but converts it into a string and as a result I get a random output in the excel sheet- most often it is 01/01/1900.
The code snippet is below:
Dim thisdate as date
date=today
Dim thedate as string
thedate=date
command = New OleDbCommand("UPDATE[sheet1$C" & rownumber & ":C" & rownumber & "] SET F1=" + thedate + "", MyConnection)
command.ExecuteNonQuery()

Looking forward for your feedback and comments

BBC NEWS ITEM - RESULT OF BIRMINGHAM PUB BOMBINGS INQUEST
A botched IRA warning contributed to or caused 21 deaths in the 1974 Birmingham pub bombings, an inquest has found.
The blasts at the Mulberry Bush and Tavern in the Town pubs on the night of 21 November also injured 220 people.
Inquest jurors also concluded there was no error or omission in the police response to the warning call which would have limited the loss of life.
Coroner Sir Peter Thornton QC said the bombings were "etched in the history" of the city.
Jurors at Birmingham Civil Justice Centre found the warning call was not adequate for the purposes of ensuring that lives were not lost in the explosions.
The call from an IRA member was made to the Birmingham Post and Mail at 20:11. The first bomb detonated in the Mulberry Bush seven minutes later.
of the 1974 bombings were aged between 16 and 51
The jury at the six-week hearing said there was "not sufficient evidence" of any failings, errors or omissions in West Midlands Police's response to the bomb warning call, or in regards to two alleged tip-offs to the force giving advanced warning of the blasts.
The six female and five male jurors determined the victims were unlawfully killed, a conclusion they had previously been instructed to reach by the coroner.
Following the conclusions, Sir Peter said the "dreadful events will never be forgotten".
"It would be not right to leave the inquest without paying tribute to those who helped that dreadful night," he added.
"We always expect our emergency services, particularly the police and fire fighters to be there for us at the time of disaster and they were."
The coroner went on to thank the members of the public who "just did the right thing and helped as best they could".
"These were the people of Birmingham shown at their best; brave generous, selfless.
"A genuinely positive side of humanity in contrast to the devastation and destruction all around them."

Leslie Thomas QC, representing 10 of the bereaved families, added thanks on their behalf to those who helped on the night of the attacks.
"We just hope, in light of the jury's unequivocal finding that the IRA murdered 21 innocent people, that the West Midlands Police will now redouble their efforts in terms of those bombers who may still be alive to bring them to justice," he said.
The inquests came about after years of campaigning by families for a full account into what happened that night.
A botched police investigation led to the 1975 jailing of the Birmingham Six, but their convictions were quashed by the Court of Appeal in 1991.
mbs detonated within two minutes of each other
There was a dramatic twist towards the end of evidence at the inquest, when a former IRA member named the four the men he claimed were involved in the bombings as Seamus McLoughlin, Mick Murray, Michael Hayes and James Francis Gavin.
The man, identified in court only as "Witness O", said he had been authorised to give those names by the current head of the IRA in Dublin.


The vine rests when she is trained up the elm tree, a creeper seeking light and sky: in her incredible growth, filled with the energy of the Spring, she seeks the Gods and the Infinite. I know of no other plant that combines delicacy, vigor, strength and generosity in this manner.
The Etruscans taught us how to grow the vine: "Put her near a tree," they said, as she needs strong masculine support to properly express herself."
I have indelible memories of the taste of the grapes I would savor while perched on elm trees when I was a savage little girl in the lands of my parents, in Custoza and Valpolicella, near Verona.
"Quiescit Vitis in ulmo" The vines live undisturbed on the elm, said the ancients, but in Tuscany now one rarely sees the old trees, which were usually walnuts, supporting three to four vines that were free to grow impetuously up their branches, reaching for the sky. And the many bunches were rich in sugars because the vines had lots of soil and grew freely. They were the classic Tuscan vines: Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Trebbiano, and Malvasia, which joined together to make Tuscany's famed red wine.
Then came specialized vineyards, and new clones in Tuscany too, new varietals from beyond the Alps, and things changed quickly.
Changes in taste, due in part to dietary restrictions, and in part to the new fashion that called for more extraction, softness, and ever more international flavors, make us forget what the varietals of the old Chianti, fermented in various ways, are capable of .
The classic blend, with white grapes.


To celebrate its 100th anniversary (i.e. 100 releases), Dutch Tonefloat Records organised a festival and created a book chronicling the history of the label. Over the years, the label has come to be known for its unique philosophy and musical style (broadly defined as combinations of psychedelic, ambient, and experimental music in many forms) , and its dedication to the artists and the presentation of the releases. A book is therefore a lovely way to showcase these aspects of the label. And the result is lovely: a hardback with loads of images spread throughout its 108 pages, and something that caters to lovers of both records and books. Two sample pictures can be found here and here.
If that wasn't enough, of course there is an auditory side to the release as well, in the form of seven tracks spread across two 10″ records, all unique and exclusive collaborations by a number of prolific Tonefloat artists. The first two tracks are taken care of by Sand Snowman, Steven Wilson and Theo Travis as a trio. As one might expect, the result is a nebulous, laid-back mixture of ghostly acoustic and ambient, and even a bit of tango on "Trevail". "California Falling" is another dreamy song, this time Wilson together with Moonswift, Dirk Serries and Peter van Vliet. The fourth track continues in the same direction, but without Moonswift. Van Vliet then breaks the flow with the funky electronica piece "Through the Eyes of the Duck". The last two tracks are back into ambient territory again, with Sand Snowman and Wilson pairing up for a long raga-lige piece dedicated to John Fahey, and Serries and Maarten van der Vleuten working together on the excellent "Murmlefish". Particularly this final and new collaboration really has some chemistry,and is perhaps something to consider expanding towards future projects. Both artists are gifted and subtle composers, and in this rich track, with its hopeful melodic flow and varied instrumentation, this really comes to the fore.
All in all, a worthy piece to celebrate this anniversary, and pretty much essential for anyone who has followed the label, but also worth looking into for the music alone. Like I said, Tonefloat is a label that does not compromise when it comes to selecting its artists, and that shows from what some of them have put together for the occasion.


BloggingTips.Guru SEO Latent Semantic Indexing: How Does the LSI Algorithm Work?
Google uses LSI to assess the meaning of the written content on your blog or website. Latent semantic indexing is a misnomer for 'latent semantic analysis,' a statistical analytical technique that can use character strings to determine the semantics of text – what that the text actually means.
Here we shall discuss some aspects of LSI that make you think differently about keywords and how you write your content. Keep in mind that Google is larger in the search traffic it gets that all the other search engines combined. Also, some of these others use Google data. That is why we focus on it.
Google's objective is to provide its clients with the best information it can when they carry out a search. Google must therefore fully understand exactly what information searchers are looking for when they use keywords for information, and also how well each indexed web page provides that information.
Google's latent semantic indexing (LSI) algorithm was developed to use the character strings in a document to establish its semantic relevance to the search term (keyword) used. In other words, to help establish the true meaning of the text on a blog post or web page.
The LSI algorithm considers all the constituent terms used in the text of a document to establish its true meaning in relation to the keywords employed. That is why it is important to be specific when searching for information on Google. If you use the word 'Apache' as a search term in Google, your first six results include the web server application, the Native American tribe, the apache helicopters and an oil and gas exploration company using that name.
You cannot assume that Google will return the same definition for the search term as you are thinking about. You must not only use your main keyword, but define its definition in relation to your use of it.
In the same way, if you use the concept of LSI in your text, then you can increase the potential for your page or blog post to be listed for this search term in the context in which you are using it. That is true, even if the text on your webpage or blog post does not mention the keyword 'apache' – or any other keyword you are using. Here is why.
The algorithm does not use a dictionary as we know it, but involves a complex statistical and mathematical analysis of the individual characters and character strings used in the text that makes up a particular web page. It is immaterial whether that is a blog page, a post, a full page on a website or even a post comment or forum string. LSI is used to evaluate the content of any individual file published on the web.
Language: The word usually refers to the forms of written or spoken words specific to a certain country or community. Thus, the text string 'pain' means 'bread' in French, but not in English. Google cannot tell the difference unless it understands the language being used.
Semantics: The same word can be used to mean many things. Thus the word 'box' can mean a container, to fight, to recite the points of a compass or a type of bush. Semantics refers to the meaning of words in a specific context. Bad language can express meaning very well – so may form effective semantics!
Syntax: The way in which words are combined in a sentence. Thus, the words 'the dog bit the man' could be expressed using different syntax as 'the man bit the dog.' Before LSI Google could not distinguish the difference – it just detected the words.
Google's LSI algorithm takes each of these factors into account. If you think deeply enough, you will be able to understand why keyword repetition is pointless, and why a low keyword density (KD) can provide you with better ranking results than a high KD.
The algorithm analyzes the meaning of the words in your webpage or blog using semantics and syntax, and matches these with the perceived meaning of the keywords used by the person carrying out the search.
What is more important to your readers? Keywords or meaning? Let's say you are seeking information online using a search engine. What would you rather find: a page offering lots of repetitions of your keyword, but very little else, or one that provides you with what you are looking for, even if you can't find your search term in the text?
You know the answer to that, and so does Google. The problem was, that in the early days of its existence, the Google search engine was able to find, index and rank only those web pages that contained the search term (keyword/phrase) used by those seeking information.
If your blog post or web page did not contain the phrase keyword used within the search term several times, then it would not be listed and made visible to anybody using that phrase – in future we refer to keywords as being one word or several. So guess what!
It became common practice to stuff web pages full of keywords. The more the merrier, and Google would rank them high in the results pages for that keyword. Entrepreneurs made their fortunes by designing software (apps to you younger people) that would take one page of text and generate hundreds of others, changing nothing but the keyword used for that page.
Many people that were using the search engine to find for what was them very important information, were being presented with page upon page of useless drivel that gave them nothing but adverts and the same stuff repeated over and over again.
Even webmasters complained to Google about how such pages could be listed above those that were genuinely offering information. The reason was, of course, keyword repetition. The way the ranking algorithm was set up was that the more keywords, the higher the ranking. This had to stop.
Google spotted this, and so decided to do something about it, but what? It began by using the Adsense algorithm that used semantics to establish the best type of ads for any specific web page. It developed this concept further, using latent semantic analysis to create the latent semantic indexing algorithm. More on this shortly.
LSI uses the concept of latent semantic analysis to survey all the vocabulary, syntax and semantics on a page to establish its true meaning. By means of LSI, Google can compare the search term used by its customer with indexed web pages and establish which best matches that search term/keyword by analyzing all the vocabulary on the page, not just keywords. How does it do that?
The first question to consider would be "what type of locks?" Are you writing about security locks – locks and keys, or about canal locks? Or maybe you are even referring to locks of hair? To most people, only the first two options would be likely – canal locks or those that need keys to open.
To Google, however, all are the same. The keyword is 'locks' or even 'history of locks' but how does the machine know what you are talking about? It cannot ask you – all it can do is to take the character string that makes up the words, and search for it within its indexed blog posts and web pages.
The answer came after Google purchased a Santa Monica company in 2003 known as Applied Semantics. This firm was working on algorithms that applied semantics to the understanding of the true meaning of written text. Google purchased the company and then applied its principles to its Adsense program.
This is the program mentioned earlier, where Google places relevant PPC adverts on your web pages. Applied Semantics principles were used to establish the best type of advert for your page, based upon the true focus of its content.
Google continued the development of this mathematical analytical technique and finally came up with what it referred to as Latent Semantic Indexing. Using LSI, it is possible for Google to index and then rank your page for its meaning and total content rather than upon only its use of keywords.
How Does the LSI Algorithm Work: Keywords and Semantics?
Google will look at other vocabulary on your page then carry out a statistical analysis of the context and syntax of such vocabulary. If a Google user searches for 'history of security locks' then Google will take other vocabulary of its indexed pages into account. If your page contains words such as 'keys,' 'levers,' and 'doors' then it will associate this vocabulary with security locks.
After taking other ranking factors into account, it will then list your page in the search results pages for that keyword (history of security locks) ranked according to the benefits that Google believes it to be offering to the searcher. Before LSI, the searcher would also be given pages focusing on canal locks and even on hair.
The whole point being made here is that there is no longer a need for the excessive repetition of keywords. Since Google introduced LSI, all you need do is to make sure that you use as many synonyms and related terms as you can to the keyword you are chasing.
But do not get us wrong – keywords still count. You should still use relevant keywords, but Google is using the LSI concept to determine what website content is really about: what it is really saying. It is catching out pages written specifically to get listed for individual keywords, but that have little useful content other than meaningless repetitions of the keyword.
You can still use them, although even 1.5% KD or less will be quite sufficient. Use keywords sparingly and also use other terms meaning the same thing in the context of your niche. That's the answer to your question – How Does the LSI Algorithm Work – and why latent semantic indexing is a term you need not remember as long as you understand and apply the concepts Google is using when it employs LSI in its indexing and ranking algorithms.


W9W2 works to ensure that the communities views on the state of our streets is constructively fed back to WCC and their contractors.
Once a year we participate in WCC's annual survey of our priorities and observations.
On a regular basis we work to ensure that necessary repair works are highlighted, as well as doing our best to ensure that regular maintenance to footpaths and trees is attended to.
We also seek to minimise the disruption to residents of these various works, not least by seeking to reduce the number of Parking Bay suspensions required.
Our Highways Committee has been set up to monitor the condition of our roadways, footways and street lighting etc. We liaise with Westminster Council Officers and their service providers to ensure that our streets are kept in the best achievable condition. We also strive to ensure that any streetworks in the area are carried out efficiently and to an acceptable quality, and in the meantime keeping disruption and inconvenience to our residents to a minimum.
Every year we are consulted by Westminster Council for our suggestions for schemes to be included in their Capital Works programme and are asked to identify carriageways and footways that need renewing, along with suggested improved street lighting schemes. In recent years we have had considerable success in getting our 'wish list' items onto the approved list of schemes. Also every 3 months we are invited by the Council to attend a CASSA (Clean and Safe Streets Audit) where we physically inspect all of our roads and footways, together with Council Inspectors, contractors and our local Councillors.
Westminster Council do have an environmental action line (0207 641 2000) for members of the public to report street issues, and we would encourage you to use this service. However, please contact us about persistent or unresolved problems, such as potholes, footway hazards and rainwater ponding etc, also any issues with streetworks such as excessive disruption, over running or unnecessary parking suspensions etc. Also any suggestions for next years works programme (larger schemes) would be very welcome.

Woolley Building
The Woolley Veterinarian Building was the office of Dr. Floyd E. Woolley from 1904 until 1956. It was originally built in 1893 at the southeast corner of Main and Mill Streets to be the Wilson Hills Candy Store, and the back of the building housed the Ladies Lending Library.
Dr. Woolley graduated from the Ontario Veterinarian School in 1904 and for a short time worked with his father in Lapeer. When Dr. Woolley moved to Davison in 1904 or early 1905, the building was for sale. He bought the building and used it for his veterinarian office, later moved it three blocks east, next to his house on Lapeer Street.
Dr. Woolley practiced in the Davison area until he had a minor stroke in 1950. After that, he retired from an active practice but continued doing some veterinary work for friends and family until just before his death in February 1956. The building stayed on Lapeer Street until the family donated it to the Historical Society and it was moved to its present location, next to the museum at 263 East Fourth Street.
Because Dr. Woolley did not completely retire, he kept all of his tools, papers, equipment and medicines. It is only for that reason that we still have most of his things, including the equipment, furnishings and even the pot bellied stove.
In 2005 volunteers spent 430 hours restoring the roof to the original material of cedar shakes. Presently they are in the process of restoring the windows. The floor is in need of replacement and the exterior needs painting. Funds and volunteers are always needed.

You are at:Home » CD Reviews » Black Hole
Dead Hearts is an album that beams with loud, aggressive rock n roll mixed with a dose of more modern heavy metal and punk. You wouldn't be hard-pressed to say this is a continuation of what the original Guns n Roses would have sounded like if they were still together and Axl Rose had a different type of scream..a little more punk rock. My biggest problem with this record is that there's little variation vocally. It lacks melody, but everything else is just perfect in my eyes. The guitars are heavy and have fantastic tone, the rhythm section of Alex and Max are perfect relationship (Max could have been a bit louder!) and the song structures are fresh and not very derivative of anything else out there right now. They take the obscure parts of Pantera and Alice in Chains and throw in the GnR and preach it like the Sex Pistols.
Richard Carter – Vocals
Andreas Yiasoumi – Guitar
Nick Mitchell – Guitar
Max Hart – Bass
Alex Hunt – Drums
Blackhole is a band from Hertfordshire, UK. Their style is a melding of mid 90's grunge, Punk and modern Heavy Metal.
Don't Cry – The album starts off with a swift, hardcore punk metallic attack. The listener is grabbed and shaken and beaten to a bloody fuckin pulp, like a giant bitch slap across the face. The guitarists keep a tight rhythm intact and bust out your archetypal classic, sloppy enough to get the 'attitude' across, rock solo via late 70's punk rock groups like the Sex Pistols (pre Sid Vicious era). The single note, hammer-on flurries between the main riffs are something straight out of the early 90's hard rock scene ala Pantera. Strap yourself in….
If Only – Richard sings with extreme conviction, like a pissed off demon scouring and scourging the musical doldrums. Alex bashes away with the best of the best punk drummers, and matter of fact his style is that of a classic Rock n Roll trained skin-slammer. I'm hearing late Guns n Roses meets Pantera… not a bad combination to uphold, would you agree?
Scared To Change – Scared To Change is a cynical view of one who refuses (and is incapable) of following trends for another's pleasure. This track is exactly where Guns n Roses Left off, but with more guttural and visceral vocals. Richard is utterly not afraid to put it all out there and rip your ears apart with his banshee screams. This group just doesn't give 3/5 of a flying fuck what you think. They don't follow your fashion or your follow by trends, its THEIR game they're playing, THEIR drum they're marching to and if you want to be apart of it, so be it…and if not, piss off.
Can't Breathe A Word – I LOVE the intro to this song. Actually THIS is how the album should have started, this is EXACTLY what you'd want to hear if they were preparing to hop onstage for a night of rock n roll mayhem. The sonic environment laid out on Can't Breathe A Word is forceful, dark, and 'cock-sure'..and when was the last time someone used THAT adjective to describe a band? Not in a long time I'd say. Laugh all you want at that statement, but its definitely true, they strut like John Travolta, except they were the guys who burned disco albums in that baseball field in the late 70's. That is, if they were alive back then. Ah, you get what I mean.
Tides – The riffs are stomping and gigantic, the band is as crushing and rock n roll as ever. If there was a little more melody from Richard on this song I think it would have kicked major ass. I guess, at some point one needs to hear a bit of a change in the guard. This is definitely one of my favorite songs, so I guess I can be a little hard on it; I just want to hear a melody that makes me want to shout along. A chorus that makes your fist pump..but still Tides just decks you right in the mouth and doesn't say 'Im sorry' later on. They know what's up.
Witches – Ah yes, Alice in Chains..my favorite band of all time. These guys played upon what was the swan song of ol' Alice's 90's releases. They took the down-tuned debauchery of Jerry Cantrell and modernized it into something all their own. I always will respect that can look to the past for influence, but wishes to take it into their own realm. The sound is a bit loud, so they had to compress it, so it squahes some of the dynamic some, so that's an ill point of this track, but it hardly does a thing to keep me from banging my head in delight. Nor should it for you.
Post It Will – How many times have you been with a woman who couldn't give a fuck about anything you do,then once you decide to do your own thing, she comes running back and wants a piece of whatever kick you're on; to feed off your new energy? I've been there many times, and one must say to them, "screw that". What comes to mind is that quote from Marilyn Monroe loosing saying, If one is not going to accept me for my faults, then they are never going to be allowed to enjoy all the good I have to offer. Its take it or leave it, I'm not changing for you.
Forever – Extending on the thoughts of the last song, this one has offered a very refreshing take on what was previously spoken. Like the last track it deals with an ungreatful former lover. But the difference about Forever is that he has finalized his words, made it very clear that this person does not at all belong, she is completely outcast and unwelcome. This is the big fuck off.
I'm Failing To See How This A Good Idea – Hell yeah, another mid 90's Alice in Chains/Pantera influenced track. Chock full of odd and common time signatures. They take it all the way to wear I love hearing it. The verse is just tons of badass. I'd still like to see how much melody Richard can wrench out of himself, and while I've yet to hear it thus far, I'm still thoroughly enjoyed the ride I'm being taken on. This record is fun, its raw and has all the attitude you can ever imagine wanting.
My Lord – The age old question, and the same old doubt; 'Is there a God out there?" And if he is, why do our prayers go unanswered? While we may never find out until we're six feet under, we are allowed to be pissed-off as all hell. We're allowed to shove all the anger we have in his face to say, "Look here, look at this big fucking mess we live in". Amen to that, it's a HUGE mess. I think this track is a statement of freewill beyond the religious side of spiritual confines. This is YOUR world, not His.
We Are The Dead Hearts – In the vain of classic Thrash Metal of the 1980's, Blackhole throws us the 'here we are, this is our credo' anthem. I would say, maybe it could have been more effectively done at the beginning of the album, but at least it's a change from the normal formulas that exist in Hard Rock. This is Blackhole's version of 'Motorbreath' in a nutshell. Its grandiose, its down trodden and desperate. Yet, all at the same time it's VERY sure of itself in its place among the rest. They're here to stay.

Doing The Polka
Posted on April 7, 2010 by lillipilli
Top: Inspyre @ Harris Scarfe
Skirt: City Chic
Hoo-RAH! I got home today and found a great big parcel of Splurge from Dorothy Perkins waiting for me. Not a moment too soon because I am Fed Up with my wardrobe and ready for something fresh and new and shiny.
Surprisingly the bulk of the order's pretty excellent – with the exception of one candy-floss pink cardigan that doesn't quite hit the mark right – so you'll be seeing lots of new stuff in the next week or so.
The weather in Melbourne's finally (touch wood) starting to cool a little, and today we even got some rain, so I've taken my boots out of the closet and dusted them off in anticipation.

Managing 2022January 10th 2022 - 09:30 AM
The new year is a time to ponder the past and muse about the future. In the past, nearly each technical device needed to produce broadcast TV cost more than building a new house, was as huge as it was heavy, and made pictures nobody would accept today.

Q: Water stream push force too small I play Minecraft 1.14.4 vanilla on a server I host for a few friends and family.
Server version is 1.14.4 as I confirmed from the server log:

Starting minecraft server version 1.14.4

I am in the process of building an ice farm that makes use of water streams that transport the player along a horizontal route.
As water push strength got reduced in 1.13, each segment of the water stream is 5 blocks long and has ice below it. However, the force is still not strong enough to keep the player moving.
I built the same setup in my local creative test world. Strangely, in this world the water streams work fine.
I disabled all datapacks that were in use to ensure that they do not create the issue.
I verified that the issue is related to the world itself, not to the multiplayer aspect, by downloading the world save and testing locally. The issue persists. I also tried switching to creative which does not make a difference. Further, I tried multiple locations within the world - all to no avail. There seems to be some issue with the world save itself - I am at a loss.
The world itself was created in version 1.13.2 and later, with the release of 1.14.4 converted to the recent format.
This is my test setup that works fine:

As you can see, I tried with different types of ice below the water. They all work as expected. I also tried them as a single block width channel which worked fine.
This is the setup on the server which does not work:

For debugging purposes I also tried reducing the length of the waterstream to two blocks - to no avail. Travelling speed is as slow the entire time as it would usually be on the last few blocks.
Am I missing something here?
After more debugging, the issue seems to berelated to the level.dat file. This is how I tested it:

*

*Create a new world

*Replace the level.dat

*build a water stream

The level.dat I used can be found here.
Note: To clarify: The player shall be moved by itself, there are no boats inplay here - see the video above for an example.

A:
After more debugging, the issue seems to berelated to the level.dat file. This is how tested it:

*

*Create a new world

*Replace the level.dat

*build a water stream

Doing the above copies your armor. Take off your Depth Strider III boots. They are the issue.
I copied the .dat file and on reload my character was in a different spot, had differnet equipment on, and the inventory was differnet. So I looked at the boots, saw the enchantment, and took them off. Then my water stream test worked just fine.

1. How is bone remodelled around the cemented femoral head of three different designs of hip: triple tapered collarless (C Stems), double tapered collarless stems (TPS) and collared stems (Stanmore)?
2. To what extent do each type tend to conserve bone stock?
Pre-surgery, blood will be analysed for vitamin D, parathyroidhormone, and bone profile assay will be performed. Dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) will be done preoperatively than at 3-5 days post-op, and at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months post-op.
Is there any difference between the bone loss secondary to bone remodelling in each type of hip?

Anyone who knows anything about how search engines work will tell you that you need to choose the perfect keywords in order to improve your search engine ranking. Yet, if you are relatively new to the website creation scene, you may have very little knowledge about what keywords are, what they do and how they enhance search engine optimization (SEO). Nevertheless, understanding what keywords are and how they work is critical to your websites success and the amount of traffic you will receive at your website. Let's take a look at what keywords are and how to choose the right keywords to improve your SEO techniques. In doing so, you will immediately be able to put such knowledge to use and improve your page ranking in search engines.
Keywords are used by search engines to determine whether or not your web pages will address the needs of Internet users that are conducting a search. The more keywords that are found on your web pages, the more likely your webpage will be listed as a response to a user's query. Yet, a webmaster must bear in mind that not enough keywords on a webpage will have little to no affect on a web page's search engine ranking, while a web page with too many keywords may also have little affect. Why? Quite frankly, an obvious attempt to sway a search engines listing actually reduces the quality factor of a web page and a search engine will rate it lower than it would a web page that contains quality information.
Therefore, choosing keywords is part of the website marketing process: having the right keywords appear on a webpage will result in increased traffic to your site. There are a number of web resources that will help you determine what keywords are frequently used, like keyword generators and the like, but the problem with such tools is they don't necessarily identify the right keywords that will ultimately draw traffic to your site. Instead, you need to be choosy about what keywords you use. First, you can go with the most popular keywords suggested, but the most popular keywords don't always necessarily work in drawing traffic to your site, nor do they always help you improve your SEO and page ranking within major search engines.
First, you will want to try and use truly specific keywords when generating keyword enriched web pages. Try not to be too vast in your descriptionsa??if a keyword generates 20,000 pages in a search engine, chances are your keyword enriched page isn't going to make a huge difference in you web traffic. Yet, if you are using keywords that few than a hundred sites use you may find that your search engine ranking is increased because so few sites use the specific keywords you have chosen. Obviously then, it serves to tell you that one keyword enriched webpage may not make a huge difference in your overall web traffic, but several keyword enriched pages will. Just be sure to use uniquely defined, themed keywords within your web pages and watch your ranking improve in the major search engines.
Another unique way of selecting keywords can be found in viewing similar websites to your own. Find out what other webmasters are using to draw traffic to their website. How do you do this? First, review many websites that are similar to yours. Watch for repeated themes within websitesa??do you see a pattern? Take that pattern and use it to your advantage, using a keyword generator determines which keywords are most unique that fit the pattern that other websites are using. Next, generate a few web pages that are keyword enriched with your selected keywords. Conversely, if you are familiar with html, you can view a webmasters source codes and see what Meta Tags they are utilizing. Meta Tags reveal the keywords of a page and can give you a good clue as to how the competition is approaching the keyword enrichment process, if at all.
Whatever you do, when in the process of searching for keywords, don't just throw your best guess out there and go with it. Although it is possible that you may get lucky and actually improve your website traffic and search engine ranking, it is unlikely. Most keywords that are the product of a webmaster's guess are far too broad to make any kind of difference in search engine ranking or web traffic.
There are a lot of little tricks one can use to make the best of the keyword enrichment process. You can write articles that focus solely on the keywords you have selected or you can hire freelance writers to do the work for you. You can make use of a variety of free and subscription web tools to improve the type of keywords you choose. Either way, once you have found the right keywords you will immediately note an increase in your web traffica??an increase that undoubtedly accompanies your improved search engine rankinga??an improvement that is the direct result of your improve SEO techniques.

Bury Me In The Sky by Sara Comito (review by Luke Johnson)
by Luke Johnson | May 27, 2020 | Blog, Reviews
Comito's Honey
If there's one thing (of many) I've learned, from reading Sara Comito's "Bury Me in the Sky," it's this: she will not spare her reader. Will not spare them both heartache and beauty. These poems swagger with a razor sharp sense of the body, while committing themselves to lyric foreplay.
Consider the first poem in the collection, "Sweet Formication," a poem rich in synaptic leaps and frenetic use of line break, to bring the reader to their knees. Formication means, "a sensation like insects crawling over the skin," a metaphor that will worm its way through many of the book's lines. Not only is the poem effective in balancing heartache and beauty, but does so with its jagged use of line break and lyric, to entice the reader and land a real gut punch. When I first read the poem's title, I saw "Sweet Fornication," a slip anchored in my patriarchal lense, and used then to deliciously dissect that gaze. I would be remiss in ignoring this slip in word association. A slip I assume was used by Comito to blur the lines of body and lyric. Comito writes in line one, "the ant wants to eat my honey," a line aroused in feral want and the culture's need for more. She later prophecies the end to that need in line three of the second stanza, comparing it to "the mosquito in the amber."
That mosquito in the amber is the image that will not leave you while reading these poems. This notion of being stuck inside the very want that has or soon will end you, haunts Comito's narrative fractals. In "Charming Rub," a poem set inside a house at a seemingly plain hour of the day, the speaker confesses their possessiveness for the things around them. In line one, Comito writes: "Even indoors when sunlight is at my/whim," an image steeped in magic realism and a godlike sense of ownership, and then "morning glories open/and close to show me the season of day." Do you see the mosquito in the amber brewing? The speaker staking claim to natural occurrences–sunlight, morning glories–as if even the natural world revolves around them. This ownership is both beauty and terror, the result of a speaker searching for meaning, while maintaining a sense of self in life's revolving tinctures and dilutions. Comito writes later in the poem, "We keep our fires in those houses,/our poor magic burning under the stew" and suddenly the poem has blossomed just like those morning glories. Now no longer a poem written with a singular authority but a voice of voices, of generations past.
These voices of the past argue, bicker and bite. They bleed Comito, and corner the reader with a want for more. In "Historical Constraint," one of my favorites from the collection, an entire life packed in seven searing lines, Comito leads the reader from sex to spousal disagreements, to strangefied scenes — "Moved the bed to the living room"– and then to an unnamed boy, a mango tree and a "plague of flies." Damn! The poem disrupts and tears open. It blows the entire book apart. No longer is the book a collection of poems about the roadmap of the body, but about torment and myopia, about languid lust and a love splintered and bruised. And the boy? Who the hell is the boy? His presence, or lack thereof, the echo eating the white space. Here's the poem:
Historical Constraint
Had to take a ride past the old house
where we had that sex we had that fight.
Moved the bed to the living room, moved
the boy to the back. That mango tree. Too
high to ever pick and the fruit spoils in a
plague of flies. The old lines make no sense.
French doors opening to the reggaeton.
What reggaeton? So far the book has fared life's many difficulties, by digesting them through stripped confessions, and as this poem proves: pause. So where's the music? It's all over the place. But before it can be hip swayed and sung to, it must be allowed to sing. A reader must allow these poems their chance to sing, as they so deftly do; not mute them by their sometimes (often) emotionally difficult material. As I said, Comito will not spare you. But she will offer you jazz, a sashay of sounds swooned inside a palm frond. This music is of mud and frog bellies, of children no longer alive. One can see this in the poem "Dark Island Landing" where Comito writes: "In forest edge dark/The god screeches./the frogs,/the night lilies,/the open throated/children to the suckling sky." In a poem called "Dedication," the shortest of the book, Comito proves tenderness can exist inside brutality. She writes: "For dead dogs/and stolen children,/a special heaven/with rubber balls/and each other." Not only, as these poems prove, is Comito's lyric agility, but also her tenderness. Just enough peppered in to give you air as you dive in the depths of her subconscious.
Consider, before you read this, finding a safe place to breathe. I say that so you are warmly indwelled by Comito's song. It's no small feat, but it's necessary. A world inside a body of worlds. Beneath the callus and scars in these lines are gardens of blooming gardenia. But like I said, be safe. Put the children to bed. Put the lover to bed. Put the dog to bed. Put the TV to bed. Put your other books to bed. Put your writing to bed. And pour yourself a drink. Or don't. Either way, I want you to laugh and cry and gasp. To crave and be craved. To break and be buried. Comito's poems are the right howls to do that.

Plunge headlong into the greatest alien mysteries of all time in this BEST OF ANCIENT ALIENS: GREATEST MYSTERIES two-disc set from H2Ö. This provocative series explores the possibility that advanced technologies such as lasers and even gravity manipulation devices enabled ancient humans to construct colossal structures throughout the world. Many of these "unexplained" structures show engineering techniques thought to be unknown at the time, from a Peruvian mountaintop fortress to a power-generating Mesoamerican pyramid to Indian temples that could harness cosmic energy. Might these technologies have come from distant galaxies? Or were the ancient builders really extraterrestrials? And, thousands of years later, did the Nazis experiment with similar advanced alien technologies? We'll also consider whether contemporary rituals believed to connect humans to another dimension are based on ancient experiences with aliens. And we'll examine whether some of humanity's most crippling epidemics, like the sixth-century Justinian Plague and the Black Death of the Middle Ages, can be traced to the darkest voids of space. Through 75 million years of the most credible evidence available on earth, H2Ö entertains these and many more spectacular prospects.


Xu, D.S., Sotomayer, W.A. and Heshmat, H. "A Preliminary Assessment of Modeling Friction/Damping at Blade/Disk Interfaces," 5th National Turbine Engine High Cycle Fatigue Conference, March 2000, Chandler, Arizona.
Friction induced vibration at blade/disk interfaces is one of the major sources of HCF related failures both in the attachment areas and along blade boundaries. Beyond the classic Coulomb friction law, a more precise friction model for more physically perceptive consideration at blade/disk interfaces is presented, including the elastic-plastic deformation, adhesive (micro-friction) and third body effects which come from wear debris or microscopic coatings at blade/disk interface (mating surface).The third body at blade/disk interfaces may be important in mitigating wear and friction induced dynamics due to shear energy dissipation.
The basic problem is to determine the vibration induced dynamic response of a turbine engine blade root, but at the present time how the frictional forces interact with the blade root is not well understood. This makes the calculation of the dynamic response of a blade resulting from frictional forces challenging task. Therefore, we do need to develop a fundamental understanding of the essential friction and damping phenomena at the blade/disk interfaces. Cantilever beam / plate are used to simulate the blade attachment. Different boundary conditions (fixed end, clamped end and oscillation with friction) are studied. FEA was employed to predict the displacement, stress distribution, natural frequency, mode shape and nonlinear dynamic analysis results. Considering the blade/disk interfaces as a 3D contact problem with nonlinear dynamic behavior, solid element and gap element are all employed with material stiffness and damping. Both precise friction model and FEA model will later be verified by experimental investigation.

Q: Inserting rows in table view iOS 6+ So I have seen a few tutorials out there on how to do this but really they all involve hard-coding buttons and text fields in. What I have done is created a view controller A, with an embedded table view. And in the navigation bar I have added a button (the "Add") plus symbol button. This button I have made its action to modally bring up another view controller B where I have a text field and a button Save.
Here is a picture for reference:

So what I want to do, is have the user be able to press the green plus button in view controller A, and then it will bring up view controller B where I can enter a username, press save, and it will dismiss itself (I know how to do this) and reveal A again but now showing the newly added contact.
I am using an NSMutableArray to store and populate the table. What is the simplest, and easiest way in which I can do this, without having to hardcode buttons in as shown in the apple docs Table View Programming Guide. I have two separate classes for A I have the Contacts class and for B I have designated it the addContact class. Both classes are simply view controller subclasses.

A: First I would push the second view instead of presenting it modally.
To the Segue (connector between first and second view) you can also attach an identifier.
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/recipes/xcode_help-interface_builder/articles-storyboard/StoryboardSegue.html
Additionally you can perform some action in the prepareForSegue method before the view is pushed.
In this method I would then pass the array and tableview, such that you can add the username and reload the table when the save button is pressed.
http://nscookbook.com/2013/01/ios-programming-recipe-5-passing-values-between-segues-with-prepareforsegue/

A: The scope of your question isn't very clear, but assuming you know how to pass the saved value back to the parent view controller, you would insert the table row using something like this:
- (void)addItem:(id)item { // where item is the object being added to the data model
    [self.items addObject:item]; // where self.items is your mutable array
    NSIndexPath *indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForItem:self.items.count - 1 inSection:0];
    [self.tableView insertRowsAtIndexPaths:@[indexPath] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationTop];
}

The insertRowsAtIndexPaths:withRowAnimation: method informs the table view that you've added new items to your data model at the given index paths and it will then call your data source methods, including cellForRowAtIndexPath, to generate the new cell and animate it into place.


On a day when 40 knots were expected, Warnemunde turned on a great day of sailing for the 2004 International 470 European Championship.
On a day when 40 knots were expected, Warnemunde turned on a great day of sailing for the 2004 International 470 European Championship. The day started in pouring rain, not uncommon for a northern Summer however the reports of trees being uprooted in Hamburg made for a nervous fleet. But the front brought only 18-23 knots and the 103 470's representing 30 Nations made a great view moving out to the start under kites.
In the men, Nick ROGERS/Joe GLANFIELD were movers of the day with a first in the early race of the day. Nick and Joe employed a novel but extreamly successful starting technique by reaching along behind the Starboard starters until a gap appeared and grabbing the opportunity, from there sailing high out to the favoured righthand side of the course.
CRO 7 Ante CESIC & Ante KUJUNDZIC lead the fleet halfway up the first beat but the American Silver Medallists Paul FOERSTER/Kevin BURNHAM defied odds coming in fast from the lefthand side of the course to round in second place to Rogers/Glandfield.
In the 20 knot conditions, Rogers and Glandfield went onto win convincingly followed by the Americans and the Brits Graham VIALS/Bevis FIELD that moved well through the fleet.
In the Women, the Ward sisters still head the fleet with a reduced lead of 6 points after a day of 19 (Drop), 7 & 7. The American women Katie MCDOWELL/Isabelle KINSOLVING also had a good day with a 6, 6, 4 along with the team from Israel of Kornecki/Bouskila who placed a 2, 10, 5 . The pair of McDowell/ Kinsolving moving up 2 places to be second overall and ISR10 Kornecki/Bouskila moving up 3 places to be 4th overall just behind the Russian pair of Ilienko/Gaponovich in third.
The GBR's Rogers and Glandfield recorded placings of 1, 13 & 6 that moves them from 5th overall to be first place overall going into the last race of the series. But they are just 4 points infront of the Coster Brothers Sven and Kalle of the Nederlands on 62 points after 12 races. The previous overnight leaders Javier CONTE/Juan DE LA FUENTE of Argentina slipped back to third overall but are also on 62 points with true Russian Veteran Dmitri BEREZKIN/Mikhail KRUTIKOV in 4th place just 4 points back.
The Women's fleet will probably have 2 races in the morning while the Men will complete their series with just 1 race. Rogers and Glandfield have drop races of 33 and 30 so their start will be crucial , while the Costers have drops of 16 and 26 . But even the 5th placed Spanish pair of Martinez/Wood are just 8 points back from the overall medals so the field is open for the Championship in both Men's and Women's fleets. .
Racing continues 11.00hrs Thursday with no start permitted after 15.00 hrs.


Bryon McAllister is the associate athletic director for sports medicine and head athletic trainer at Cazenovia College. On any given morning, you will find McAllister reading injury reports, importing them into a computer system, writing referrals for athletes to the College's team physician, and providing rehab. He is the go-to guy for sport-related injuries for student-athletes. McAllister takes care of all the bruises, sprains, ligament tears, and provides diagnosis and rehabilitation for student-athletes.
One thing McAllister likes about his job is watching student-athletes mature. He explains, "They come in and a lot of the time they are shy and immature. By the time they are juniors and seniors, they are completely different people."
When McAllister is not helping heal student-athletes he can be found boating, snowmobiling, or fishing with his three children. He also is a volunteer coach for Midstate Youth Hockey, and in the past was the coach of the club hockey team at Cazenovia College. When McAllister is not on the water or coaching, he is helping his children learn and grow, along with playing with their yellow lab named Bella.
Since joining Cazenovia College, McAllister has lead the efforts to improve and expand the training facilities, including the addition of whirlpools and a larger training room. McAllister shares, "I am really proud of what I have done here."
While in high school, McAllister had considered going to law school. A bad shoulder injury during his senior year lead him to rehab with an athletic trainer, and inspired him to focus his studies and career in sports medicine.
McAllister enjoys working at Cazenovia College saying, "It is a nice small, close knit community." He also shares how rewarding it is to see how much his athletes and alumni have grown while playing for Cazenovia College.


The floors are hardwood, and the apartment complex has a swimming pool, basketball court and a fitness center. Our teenage daughter is into running sports, and she hits the treadmill every morning when the weather is not to her liking for jogging. I will jog rain or shine. My wife likes to ride a bike for exercise. She will put in 10 miles before breakfast. Our son is an aesthetic bodybuilder, and he lifts weights three times a week and plays a lot of basketball.
We really like it here at the Ridge at Green Haven Apartments. We are very comfortable, and we like the rent cost. You sure do get a lot more for your money here in Tennessee. We were paying a fortune for a small apartment up north in an urban area. We can actually put away a little more each month now toward college for the kids. You can never save enough money when you have kids. The kids really like their rooms. They have more square feet per room here than we have ever had in any other place we have lived. We have moved a few times due to my assignments, but now we are planning on staying until the kids graduate from college. They are going to be going to a university here in Tennessee. We like the southern style of living a lot better.


Instagram is opening a whole new revenue stream. Now the 130 million people who tap Instagram's product tags on shopping posts will be able to buy those items without leaving the app thanks to stored payment info. "Checkout with Instagram" launches today in the US with more than 20 top brands including Adidas, Kylie Cosmetics, and Warby Parker who'll no longer have to direct customers to their website to make a purchase..
An Instagram spokesperson confirms to RR-Magazine "We will introduce a selling fee to help to fund programs and products that help make checkout possible, as well as offset transaction-related expenses." When we asked how much the 'selling fee' would charge merchants, the spokesperson told us "We aren't sharing the specific number right now. We are testing a selling fee with businesses during the closed beta. It will not change the price of the items for consumers." That indicates Instagram wants merchants to cough up the fee in exchange for higher purchase conversion rates rather than forcing users to pay a convenience fee for buying through the app.
Instagram's ad business could also get a boost as Checkout could convince brands that the social network produces better return on investment since there are fewer steps before purchase. For now, only organic posts from the launch partner merchants will feature Checkout buttons, and ads aren't eligible. But Checkout-equipped ads could be a gold mine for Instagram just as Facebook's News Feed ad business looks shaky and CEO Mark Zuckerberg declares commerce as a fixture of the 2019 roadmap.
Checkout tags will appear on feed posts, Stories, and Explore content from the brands in the closed beta that Instagram plans to eventually open to more businesses. When users tap the post to reveal product tags and open one, they'll see a Checkout with Instagram button instead of the old "View on Website" button.
Their first time through they'll enter their payment information that's stored for future purchases. "With their protected payment information in one place, they can shop their favorite brands without needing to log in and enter their information multiple times" Instagram explains. Saving merchants from abandoned shopping carts left by users frustrated with having to sign up with each different brand is the key value offering here. RR-Magazine recently reported Instagram is prototyping a Fundraiser sticker for Stories that similarly saves payment info — a database Instagram clearly wants to build up.
After users buy something within Instagram, they'll be able to track it from a new "Orders" section of their profile that shows the status of an order plus options to cancel, initiate a return, or contact the merchant. They'll also get a notification from Instagram when the order ships. Interestingly, Instagram isn't mixing receipts into its messaging product like Facebook does with Messenger.
Merchants will only get the details necessary to fulfill an order, including contact info and address, but not your actual payment info. Users will see an opt-in option to share their email address with the seller for marketing purposes. Checkout with Instagram could leave merchants with a little less data than if the purchase happened on their website. But Instagram says it will provide info on which sales it generates for a merchant.
Users can pay with PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover. Instagram plans to allow merchants to integrate their Shopify, BigCommerce, ChannelAdvisor, CommerceHub, and other tools with the Checkout feature. Meanwhile, Instagram confirms that interacting with Checkout will be used as a signal for ranking what content you see. Payments are processed by PayPal — an area of business Facebook has been content not to invade, and PayPal's fees will likely be covered by Facebook's selling fee.
"We started using product tags to make shopping more convenient for our customers" writes Warby Parker co-founder and co-CEO Neil Blumenthal. "Checkout takes this experience one step further, making it even more intuitive and seamless for people who have discovered products they want to purchase instantaneously." Here's the full list of launch partner brands: Adidas, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Balmain, Burberry, ColourPop, Dior, Huda Beauty, H&M, KKW Beauty, Kylie Cosmetics, MAC Cosmetics, Michael Kors, NARS, Nike, NYX Cosmetics, Oscar de la Renta, Outdoor Voices, Ouai Hair, Prada, Revolve, Uniqlo, Warby Parker and Zara.
There's still no sign of an Instagram standalone shopping app that was reportedly in the works. Instead, it launched a dedicated Shopping channel in Explore and tags for Stories six months ago. We recently spotted Instagram prototyping a Pinterest-style feature that would let users make their private Collections of Saved posts publicly visible. That would be a great way for commerce influencers to recommend Checkout-equipped products. Facebook has spent five years experimenting with different Buy buttons, but now it finally has them in a place they feel natural.
Instagram has fiercely protected the right to link out of its app in order to keep you steadily consuming its content. Now with over one billion users, Instagram has trapped people's attention inside, and it's finally ready to sell the right to sell there.


hey is this lvl in 2 stages ?
oops but where? is this an error: wrong answer message?
Other messages that you might get are to help you in completing the level.
mods seems many r stuck up here.. y don u give us some clue? oops..?
What to watch closely in what???
Worry about your own fortunes gentlemen. The deepest circle of hell is reserved for betrayers and mutineers.
is it necessary to have seen the movie ?
The level is deceivingly simple and you will just have to do exactly what the clues say.You would wonder how you possibly failed to get this one.And please do not expect to get clues on a regular basis.
And here's a warning : You might end up spending more time in the forum looking for hints, rather than focussing on the level at hand.Do not let that happen.
