The Wednesdays by Julie Bourbeau
One of the 2015-2016 Indian Paintbrush Nominees, The Wednesdays (Lexile: 880; Interest Level: Grades 2-5) by Julie Bourbeau is certainly entertaining! Max lives in a town in which strange things happen, but only on Wednesdays. Why? Perhaps it is because of the Wednesdays, whatever they are. Well, Max isn't afraid of Wednesdays, and he hates being stuck inside all day. So, on one particular Wednesday, which happens to be Max's birthday, when his parents think he has let the Wednesdays into the house, they send Max outside to play. Max is elated! He has a great time exploring the empty town, even though the Wednesdays play a few tricks on him along the way.
What Max doesn't know, however, is the real danger the Wednesdays can pose to boys like him. You will have to read this story to find out what happens when Max meets the Wednesdays! I really enjoyed this story, and I think anyone who enjoys stories with a little fun, a little mystery, and a little danger, will enjoy this one, too! (256 p.)
The Mighty Miss Malone by Christopher Paul Curtis
In The Mighty Miss Malone (Lexile 760; Interest Level: Grades 3-6), Christopher Paul Curtis transports us to the 1930s and into the life of Deza Malone and her family as they struggle with the fall out of the Great Depression. This historical novel follows an African American family as they search for the father, who has gone missing after leaving to look for work. Deza tries to keep her family together, but her older brother leaves them to try to make a living singing, and Deza struggles to find her place in this new world.
I have many friends who have absolutely adored this book, but I have to admit that it was not one of my favorites. Perhaps I had a hard time with Deza's voice in this story, or perhaps it was just the wrong time for me to read it. Christopher Paul Curtis is a Newbery Award Winning Author (Bud, Not Buddy), so all of his books deserve a read. If you are interested in the time period following the Great Depression of 1929, or in African-American history, you should certainly give this book a try! (320 p.)
The Iron Trial by Holly Black and Cassandra Clare
Have you ever wished your life could be different? Callum Hunt certainly did. He wished he had two working legs. He wished he could do sports. He wished he had friends. What he didn't wish was to do magic. His father warned him against magic and told him that mages were terrible people. But, he was still called to participate in The Iron Trial, which his father hoped he would fail.
In the first book of the Magisterium Series, The Iron Trial by Holly Black and Cassandra Clare (Lexile: 830; Interest Level: Grades 3-6), Callum Hunt faces the magical trials and, at first, fails miserably--the only child to get a negative score! But when Master Rufus picks him as an apprentice anyway, Call must decide what he wants to do with his fate. His father wants him to fail and be sent home. Call isn't so sure, especially when he begins to make friends at the Magisterium. And when he begins to learn things he never thought possible.
Fans of fantasy, magic, and school stories will delight in this new series. It certainly surprised me! And, it is a good segway into the more advanced writings of Holly Black and Cassandra Clare, both of whom usually write for young adults. (304 pages)
Raft by S. A. Bodeen
A true survival story, Raft by S. A. Bodeen (Lexile: HL 680; Interest Level: Grades 6-12), tells the story of 15 year old Robie as she struggles to survive life by herself on the ocean after the plan she is on crashes into the Pacific Ocean.
Robie thinks she is old enough to brave a week on her own in Honolulu when her aunt is called away to Los Angeles on business, but she soon changes her mind and decides to head home. Unfortunately, she can't reach her parents by phone (because the phones are often out on Midway Atoll Island where she lives). She decides that she can take care of getting herself home on the supply plane that she usually uses to transport herself between her parents and her aunt's house. One thing after another happens at the busy airport, but finally Robie is on her way home. Except that something got missed.
For a really bumpy ride of a story, you may want to check out Raft. Fans of survival fiction will enjoy this story of a strong young lady who fights against all odds of nature. (256 pages)
Fantasy League by Mike Lupica
I wonder if all boys (and maybe girls, too) play fantasy football--making their own teams and getting points for how each player does. Charlie loves football. He is a guru at fantasy football, and his teams almost always win because he watches players and their stats very carefully. He plays football at school, too, where he can see plays before they happen by playing close attention to how the teams line up for the plays.
Charlie's best friend, Anna, is also awfully smart about football. It helps that her grandfather owns the L.A. Bulldogs, a professional football team. When Charlie becomes friends with Anna's grandfather, he gets a chance to use his football smarts to help out his favorite team by making suggestions for players to sign. Charlie learns that loving the game may not be enough, and it isn't always easy to go out on a limb with your hunches in Fantasy League by Mike Lupica (Lexile: 930; Interest Level: Grades 3-7).
Even though it is a football story, I really enjoyed the friendships, the exploration of fame, and, yes, I admit it, even the sport itself. All people enjoying the sport of football, or who ever wondered what it might be like to make big-league decisions, may enjoy this story. (304 pages)
Plunked by Michael Northrop
Jack Mogens is a sixth grade Little League ball player, and he is really excited to get to start as a left fielder. A lot of people may think of baseball as a fairly safe sport, but Michael Northrop shows a little of the harsher side of baseball in Plunked. T(Lexile: 640; Interest Level: Grades 3-6)! In this story,
Sky Raiders by Brandon Mull
The first book of Brandon Mull's new series, The Five Kingdoms, Sky Raiders (Lexile: 610; Interest Level: Grades 3-6) is yet another imaginative tale woven full of what dreams and nightmares.
Cole is very excited about a new haunted house he's heard about, and he convinces his best friend Dalton, and the girl he likes, Jenna, to come with him to see it. What he doesn't bargain for is the true horror of his friends getting kidnapped. Somehow being able to sneak away and avoid capture, Cole follows his friends down a hole and ends up in the Outskirts (wherever that is) and sees his friends taken as slaves. As he tries to help them escape, he gets caught as well. When it is sensed that he has no shaping ability (again, whatever that is), Cole is sold to the Sky Raiders where he is set the task of scoping out Sky Castles for treasure. Yes, castles in the sky that form in one cloud wall, float across the sky to another cloud wall, and containing usable treasure. Unfortunately, where there is treasure, there is also usually some more unpleasant things, such as a giant scorpion-centipede thing.
Of course, it wouldn't be a great story if it just ended there, but Cole's new friend Mira has a secret, and he is roped into helping her escape when the High Shaper sends 400 legionnaires to capture her. Now the children are on the run with no where to go and no way to get there, so they try to hide inside a cloud wall and discover some unlikely allies and the beginning of a whole new adventure.
This story was sometimes really slow, with a lot of talking to explain the story, but the sequels sure are lining up to be awfully good stories now that we have some good, solid background. Fans of Brandon Mull's other series (FableHaven and The Beyonders) will not be disappointed. (421 pages)
House of Robots by James Patterson and Chris Grabenstein
How would you like to live in a house full of crazy robots? It might sound cool. But what if your mother built one that she insists you take to school you and treat like it was your brother? This is how House of Robots by James Patterson and Chris Grabenstein (Lexile: unknown; Interest Level: Grades 3-6) begins. Sammy Hayes-Rodriguez does NOT want a robot for a brother, and he certainly does NOT want it to come to his 5th grade class with him! But no matter how much he begs, his mother insists that it is VERY important.
Just like Sammy thought, it was a BAD idea to send that robot to school--it got itself suspended on its very first day. So, that was the end of that, or so Sammy thought! However, in just a few days, E, new and improved, was headed to school with him again, but this time, there were a few surprises in store, especially when Sammy and E came up against the school bully. But there was even more excitement in store than just a bully show-down!
This light-hearted book with some great humor was an easy read, with lots of pictures thrown in to help. If you are looking for something light-hearted, easy and fun, but with a little mystery and adventure thrown in, I encourage you to check out House of Robots! (352 pages)
The Screaming Staircase by Jonathan Stroud
Lockwood & Co. is a ghost-hunting agency in futuristic London, about 50 years into when everyone calls The Problem. Basically, The Problem is that ghosts have starting coming back every night with a vengeance. And the only ones who seem to be able to sense the presence of or see ghosts are children. By the time children become grown ups, they are unable to see them or sense them as well any more, so it is children who work as ghost hunters for adult supervisors.
At the beginning of The Screaming Staircase by Jonathan Stroud (Lexile: 720; Interest Level: Grades 4-8), Lucy's supervisor chooses not to listen to her warning during a mission, and things go terribly wrong. So Lucy heads to London to search for a new job, getting hired by Anthony Lockwood in an agency with no adult supervisors. Lucy, George, and Lockwood (as he prefers to be called) enc0unter a pretty spooky ghost who leads them into a mystery that is a half-century old and an estate that has be haunted for about 500 years. Filled with ghosts, humor, mystery, adventure, and even the sarcasm Jonathan Stroud is known for, The Screaming Staircase is one of the better horror stories I have read in a while. Warning: it may take a little while to get into it, but I promise, the ending will NOT disappoint! (390 pages)
The Menagerie by Tui T. Sutherland and Kari H. Sutherland
Logan is new to the town of Xanadu, Wyoming, and he is having a hard time making friends. One of only a couple African-American students at his school, and definitely an outsider from the big city of Chicago, Logan doesn't even know what to do to try to fit in. Then, something really odd happens when he wakes up one morning. His pets are afraid of something, and there are feathers in his room. Then he sees feathers around town, and Zoe and Blue (two kids from his class) are acting all weird and say they are looking for Zoe's dog.
Logan tries to be helpful, but Zoe and Blue seem to have a secret they don't want to share. However, when Logan gets home after school and finds that his pets were afraid of the griffin cub under his bed, it isn't long before Logan is thrown full into the secret of The Menagerie by Tui T. and Kari H. Sutherland (Lexile: 710; Interest Level: Grades 3-6).
Are you thinking what I was thinking? Griffin (part lion/ part eagle) cubs? In WYOMING? Yep. That sealed the deal for me! And griffins are not the only magical/ mythical being living at the Menagerie in Xanadu. Fans of Brandon Mull's Fablehaven series are sure to love this new series by the Sutherland sisters. Also, students who have heard of Fablehaven but need a little easier of a read will be delighted with this tale! (272 pages)
The Book of the Dead by Michael Northrop
Scholastic Publishing has a new series called Tombquest, which is being written similarly to 39 Clues, Spirit Animals, and Infinity Ring in that each book will have a different author and there is an online game component. Michael Northrop's Book of the Dead (Lexile: 650; Interest Level: Grades 3-6) is the first book of this new series.
Alex Sennefer is very sick, and the doctors don't know why, so they have no idea how to save him. Alex's mother, however, has been doing quite a lot of research in her job as an Egyptologist, and she knows about the powers of the Lost Scrolls when used with the Book of the Dead. When she unleashes some of the ancient power to save her son's life, Alex gets thrown into an adventure to save hers and unlocks some powers he never knew he had. This story is very fast-paced and full of adventure, and it would be a good starting point for students who may want to read Rick Riordan's Egyptian series, but are a little put off by their length. I haven't checked out the online part, but I am sure it will appeal to gamers as well! (208 pages)

Students Approach DCW Over Miranda House's Recent Notice Banning Selfies,Combing Hair
Shivam Malhotra
Students of Delhi University's School of Open Learning (SOL), have written to the Delhi Commission For Women (DCW) against the recently released controversial circular by Delhi University's prominent Miranda House college banning selfies and combing hair in the college corridor.The students have demanded a written apology from the college administration and to stop this discrimination of SOL students.
Arti, Delhi state committee member,KYS told Times of India "Till the issue had not received attention in the media,the identity of students who wanted to enter the college were being forcibly taken away and those who refused were being turned away. Although the Miranda House authorities have withdrawn the concerned notice,they have resorted to collecting the identity cards every time they enter a classroom,often resulting in the waste of time for the students as they have to subsequently search through dozens of identity cards before shifting to the next room."
Arti also told Times of India "These students are forced to take admission in correspondence courses of SOL,as they are denied admission in regular colleges of DU for failing to achieve the required cut-off marks.These women students come from unprivileged and deprived families,which couldn't afford to send them to expensive private schools,from where the majority of students in this premier women's college come.The fact that these students are being subjected to such humiliating treatment by the college administration clearly belies its stated belief in women's empowerment.The prison-like atmosphere especially put in place on Sundays creates ample fear in women students,to forego their classes at the college in future."

Corn Price Projected Higher in the 2018-19 Marketing Year
By Sampath Jayasinghe
Decision Innovation Solutions
The USDA's Economic Research Service (USDA-ERS) released its May 2018 Feed Outlook on May 14. This report examines supply, use, prices, and trade for corn including supply and demand prospects in major importing and exporting countries in the 2018-19 marketing year. 2018-19 corn planted acreage in the United States is projected at 88.026 million acres compared to 90.167 million acres in the 2017-18 marketing year, which is approximately a two-percent decrease as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: U.S. Corn and Soybean Planted Acreage 2018-19 (Source: Prospective Plantings, USDA-NASS)
The U.S. average corn yield is projected at 174.0 bushels per acre in the 2018-19 marketing year, compared to 176.6 bushels per acre in the 2017-18 marketing year, down 2.6 bushels. The USDA's corn yield projection is primarily based on a weather-adjusted trend estimated from 1988 to 2017. This projection assumed normal planting progress and normal weather during the 2018 summer growing season. According to the most recent Crop Progress report released by the USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service (USDA-NASS), 81 percent of the national corn crop was planted as of May 20, 2018. This is similar to the five-year average. A detailed analysis of crop planting progress by state can be found here.
U.S. corn production during the 2018-19 marketing year is forecast at 14.040 billion bushels, compared to 14.604 billion bushels in the 2017-18 marketing year, a drop of nearly four percent. The total U.S. corn disappearance is projected to be 14.590 billion bushels, a decrease of 175 million bushels from the 2017-18 marketing year. Feed and residual use is projected to be 5.375 billion bushels during the 2018-19 marketing year, a drop of 125 million bushels from the 2017-18 marketing year. Food, seed, and industrial use is forecast at 7.115 billion bushels, an increase of 75 million bushels from the 2017-18 marketing year. Under the food, seed, and industrial use category, corn grind for fuel ethanol is projected to increase by 50 million bushels to 5.625 billion bushels from the estimated 2017-18 marketing year. Total U.S. corn exports are forecast at 2.1 billion bushels, compared to 2.225 billion bushels in the 2017-18 marketing year. This approximately six-percent projected decline in exports is mainly due to the increased competition from Argentina, Ukraine, and Russia.
Ending stocks during the 2018-19 marketing year are forecast at 1.682 million bushels compared to 2.182 million bushels during the 2017-18 marketing year. This significant drop in the projected ending stocks results in 11.5 percent in the stocks-to-use ratio for the 2018-19 marketing year. This is a drop of 3.2 points from the 2017-18 marketing year. As a result, the projected average price received by U.S. farmers for the 2018-19 marketing year is projected at a range from $3.30 per bushel to $4.30 per bushel, with a midpoint of $3.80 per bushel. The estimated midpoint corn price received by farmers during the 2017-18 marketing year was recorded at $3.40 per bushel. Average corn price received by farmers is forecast to increase by approximately 11 percent during the 2018-19 marketing from the 2017-18 marketing year.
World corn production is projected at 1,056.07 million metric tons during the 2018-19 marketing year, compared to 1,306.66 million metric tons, a two-percent increase. The world ending stocks during the 2018-19 marketing year is projected at 159.15 million metric tons, compared to 194.85 million metric tons, a decrease of 18 percent.
Brazil's corn production is projected to increase 96 million metric tons during the 2018-19 marketing year from an estimated 87 million metric tons in the 2017-18 marketing year, a nearly 10 percent increase. Corn production in Argentina is forecast to be 41 million metric tons during the 2018-19 marketing year, up from an estimated 33 million metric tons in the 2017-18 marketing year, a significant 24 percent increase. Ukraine corn production is projected at 30 million metric tons during the 2018-19 marketing year, up from the estimated 24.12 million metric tons in the 2017-18 marketing year, a significant increase of 24 percent. Russia corn production is projected at 53.5 million metric tons during the 2018-19 marketing year, up from the estimated 42.04 million metric tons in the 2017-18 marketing year, a significant 27 percent increase.
U.S. corn production is forecast to be lower in the 2018-19 marketing year with a substantial decline in corn ending stocks. As a result, average corn price received by farmers is forecast to increase by approximately 11 percent during the 2018-19 marketing from the 2017-18 marketing year. 2018-19 world corn production is projected to increase by two-percent during the 2018-19 marketing year from the 2017-18 marketing year. Argentina, Brazil, Ukraine and Russia have projected to significantly increase their corn production in the 2018-19 marketing year resulting in tough competition for the U.S. corn exports.

Although he died in occupied Prague as recently as 1941, Křižík's centenary falls this year. Born of poor parents on July 8, 1847, he was as much a man of science as an engineer. His aim in life was neither riches nor fame, but he had a constant desire to invent, to improve and to lessen the drudgery of manual labour. Obviously he had to seek a career in electrical engineering, and as a youth he attracted attention by installing a satisfactory telegraph system on the various private Central European railways that were then being constructed. As a railway engineer Křižík had plenty of scope for his inventive talent, and in 1878 he introduced a block signal system designed to prevent accidents. In 1880 he produced an electric are lamp that gave better and more constant illumination. In the following year, opportunity was taken to show the lamp at the Paris Exhibition, where it gained first prize. Gold medals were also awarded for it at the Munich and Vienna Exhibitions of 1883, and these lamps were soon being made in Britain and used for lighting the streets of London, Paris and elsewhere. Křižík now gave up his railway appointment at Pilsen and established an electro-technical works at Prague for making not only lamps, but also dynamos and other electrical apparatus and machines. He experimented with an electrically driven train as early as 1891, the year of the Prague Exhibition, for which he was both architect and engineer. His illuminated fountain and electric railway (the precursor of many European tramways) provoked wide comment and largely contributed to the success of the exhibition.


Choker. Mastaba D117 of Uhemka, Giza, Egypt. Egyptian. Old Kingdom, 2575-2152 BC. Faience. Lent by the University of Leipzig Georg Steindorff Egyptian Museum.
The Georg Steindorff Egyptian Museum of the University of Leipzig loaned beads from an Old Kingdom broad collar and choker to the Carlos Museum for examination and restringing.
The beads exhibited significant color loss in comparison to more recent examples of faience. Emory University students Alexandra Fuller and Samantha Owens used x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy to determine the elemental composition of the beads and to infer their original color.


ACT (acute childhood trauma) is a significant cause of depression, behavior problems, depression, suicides, drug abuse.
"Childhood trauma darkens the child's vision of the future as well as her attitudes about people. Young people who have been traumatized will voice cautious, one-day-at-a-time attitudes. They may say that you can't count on anyone. Traumatized children tend to recognize the profound vulnerability in all people, especially themselves.
Trauma-related fears often persist into adulthood. Passing fears – of strangers, the dark, being alone – are not uncommon at certain developmental stages of childhood and also appear in other emotional disorders.
Within the traumatized child, internal changes may occur which can affect her later in life, surfacing in adolescence or early adulthood. Without treatment, some childhood traumas can result in later problems characters by violent behavior, extremes of passivity and revictimization, self-mutilation, suicidal or self-endangering behavior, and anxiety disturbances."
"R.A.'s story is more than a story about baseball," 60 Minutes producer Rich Bonin told us. "It's a story about life." During R.A. Dickey's emotional 60 Minutes interview, the great knuckleball pitcher talked openly about the darkest moments of his life -- from the sexual abuse he suffered at age 8 to his depression and the extramarital affair that almost ended his marriage. In this week's 60 Minutes Overtime, you'll hear Dickey share something he's never discussed in public before: how close he came to ending his own life."

Q: Combine two queries into one and paginate together I have two scoped queries that I need to paginate together. Individually, they look like this:
a = @person.company.tasks.open.paginate :page => params[:page], :order => (sort_column + " " + sort_direction)
b = @person.tasks.private.paginate :page => params[:page], :order => (sort_column + " " + sort_direction)

I would like to do something like the following:
@tasks = (a + b).paginate :page => params[:page], :order => (sort_column + " " + sort_direction)

What works
I do successfully get a merge when I do @tasks = (a + b) and the results paginate.
What doesn't
With the variables added together, the sorting doesn't work any more.

A: You can make one query, getting the tasks based on the id's returned by the 2 queries:
company_task_ids = @person.company.tasks.open.pluck(:id)
private_task_ids = @person.tasks.private.pluck(:id)
@tasks = Task.where(:id => (company_task_ids + private_task_ids)).paginate :page => params[:page], :order => (sort_column + " " + sort_direction)

This can be optimised a bit, but this should get you on your way

Graduation is a major milestone, but it shouldn't be a millstone.
Many of our first-generation and low-income students can't afford caps and gowns for graduation. At a time when our graduates should should be proud of their accomplishments, we do not want them to feel ashamed if they can't afford their regalia or choose not to walk because of the expense.
Help us remove this final obstacle for our graduates! Your donations allow us to purchase caps and gowns that students can borrow for free and wear at graduation. Caps and gowns can then be re-used by proud future graduates.


Intracellular location of PfSec31p and effect of BFA treatment on export of PfSec31p. Erythrocytes infected with ring stage (a,b,i) or mature (c,d,j-l) malaria parasites (K1 strain) were labelled with affinity purified rabbit anti-PfSec31(WD) antiserum (a-d) or affinity purified rabbit anti-PfSec31(int) antiserum (i-l) followed by a fluorescein-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG. Transmission images of a-d are shown in e-h. Transmission images of i-l are shown in m-p. Optical slices were collected by confocal microscopy through the centre of the parasite (a,i,j) or near the surface of the parasitised erythrocyte (b-d,k,l). In (a) and (i), some PfSec31p-containing structures in the erythrocyte cytosol are marked with white arrowheads. A PfSec31p-containing structure in the parasite cytosol in (a) is marked with a blue arrowhead.

Hey, cheers for stopping by my review!
Today, I'd like to discuss Profit Reign which is a program claiming you can make over $200 per day with "FREE" traffic.
But is it really possible to make that kinda cash on a daily basis or are the guys behind it telling you porky pies in order to make a quick and easy buck from you?
All is gonna be revealed within this honest and unbiased review from a "non-affiliate" of the product.
Cost: $2 + $47, $37 & $197 for upsells.
What's Profit Reign All About, Huh?
From Prissick and Barrett (the guys behind 2Day Profits and 8 Minute Profits 2.0), comes 'PR'.
The duo claim 'PR' is "A brand new (never been seen before), newbie-friendly method for making $243.17 per day with FREE traffic".
They also claim you can start making money right away, it only takes a few minutes per day to keep the cash flowing, and the method is fast and easy. Blahdy blah.
In my opinion, it just comes across as another hyped-up product making unrealistic claims.
Firstly, there are no "new secret methods" in the Internet and Affiliate Marketing world because every base has already been covered pretty much.
Secondly, I'm still yet to discover a "quick and easy" approach to raking in the dough, especially when it comes to "free traffic" methods.
So does that mean the two guys are stringing you along?
Well, since the price of 'PR' is just a drop in the ocean, I decided to purchase it so I can give you a REAL inside look and also my honest thoughts.
Sound good to you, buddy?
OK, so once you pay a WHOPPING 2 bucks – you're thrown straight into a sales funnel of upsells (hence why the starting cost is just $2).
For $47, you're offered a 'Done-For-You' funnel (+ 100 products to give away) for passive daily income.
For $37, you'll get a bunch of cash-pumping profit ads for an automated income.
And then an additional $197 for personal coaching from Paul and Mark.
Don't get me wrong, I hold nothing against upsells/sales funnels (a concept discussed in DotCom Secrets) – BUT before you actually know what you've bought into for $2 with 'PR', you're hit with more expenses.
In my opinion, you should SEE the main product FIRST before deciding whether it's invaluable enough to make you wanna spend extra $$$ on upsells.
Once you finally access your 'PR' purchase, you're directed to "The Passive Income Blueprint" members' area which looks like this.
Within the first set of 6 videos, the topic of Affiliate Marketing is discussed and how it can be a profitable concept IF done right using the 'PR' system.
Additionally, you'll learn that most email subscriber opt-ins generated through a squeeze page using solo ads don't open up their emails because most folks tend to use garbage email addresses that they don't use.
And as a result of this, they're not seeing your affiliate offers, which means little to no profits on your end.
So Paul and Mark have come up with a solution where they throw a quick website together, and instead of using a typical email opt-in web form, they use a simple box where folks can select "Yes" or "No" for a free gift and to be added to a 'Push List'.
See an example of the box.
So instead of blasting out emails to those subscribers, you'll be using software like 'Push Engage' to broadcast affiliate offers to their browsers instead, which will get the results you need.
Hmm… I wonder what the future now holds for email marketing.
This step discusses the processes of writing a product review (which includes an affiliate link) and promoting that to your 'Push' subscribers instead of an actual raw affiliate link because you'll see better results.
The guys also recommend some paid resources and also a review template for helping you create reviews if it's your first time.
Being a product reviewer myself, I can confirm with 100% confidence that writing product reviews, especially on a blog, is EXTREMELY effective and profitable because folks want "VALUE" from you.
==> If You Truly Wanna Learn How to Blog & Write Profitable Reviews (Step-by-Step) – Check Out my #1 Rated Resource Here!
When it comes to the actual making money part and building a successful Biz with 'PR', the videos cover using the Warrior+Plus marketplace for finding the top selling products and then grabbing your affiliate links.
And if you wanna write product reviews, you're also given some info on using a site called Munch Eye which lists up and coming product launches, so you can apply to become an affiliate of certain products and request promo info from the owners for your reviews.
However, the only downside to writing reviews based on products before they're even launched is that you're not exactly being totally honest with your readers since you've not even tried the product.
This is something practiced by Launch Jackers who write biased and hyped up reviews on products they're clueless about and then "cash in" from newbies. UGH!
As for the traffic part, there's a PDF with a bunch of links to various training videos on both free and paid traffic methods for scaling your Biz.
You're getting a real bargain for just $2!
Well, after going through the training and seeing what resources both Paul Prissick & Mark Barrett have to offer, I genuinely believe what they've stumbled upon is "gold dust" that has the potential to make any affiliate marketer profitable.
So, I'm classing 'PR' as 100% LEGIT and gets a HUGE thumb's up – especially considering they spill the beans for just a $2 payment, which is a bargain and a half, in my book!
However, the only beef I have with 'PR' is the fact that there needs to be more meat on the bone when it comes to the training because I feel the guys missed out some key information on stuff like how to build a website from scratch for using the 'Push List' method.
And although I do recommend 'PR', I just don't think it's suitable for newbies.
Can you name one Internet and Affiliate Marketing beginner who knows about squeeze pages and funnels, email list building, creating a website, and blogging, etc?
In my opinion, 'PR' is more for those in the digital marketing arena who at least have some level of experience under their belt. They're the ones who will benefit greatly.


Sometimes, you have to work your brain to work your body better. Today, your library becomes a gym, a kitchen, and even a philosophy salon. Put your thinker through its paces with classic reads from wellness experts—but first, read our takeaways from them.
The Sell: Knowing the nutritional requirements of your sport will maximize performance.
Burke and Cox Say: "This third edition transforms science into practice ... taking a real-life look at the special nutritional needs of various sports."
The Takeaway: It depends on what type of athlete you are.
Cyclists: Caffeine is a legal performance-enhancing drug. When you feel fatigued training, drink a small dose (eight ounces— a small cup of coffee).
Runners: Pre-event meals are vital. For early-morning races, a light meal is fine. A couple of pieces of toast and an energy drink work well.
Triathletes: It's all about variety. Avoid pinning "good" or "bad" labels on food. Low-fat ice cream with fresh fruit, for example, is fine for a snack.
Swimmers: You burn more calories than you realize. Pack in more energy content by adding layers and toppings to foods, like jam or syrup on toast or pancakes, and yogurt or fruit on cereal.
The Sell: Boyle, who went a year without spending a dollar, pushes the idea that a moneyless life can improve mental and physical health by giving you a true sense of community.
Boyle Says: "Living moneyless forces us to obtain the materials we need locally; it forces us to take responsibility for meeting our community's needs; it forces us to have more appreciation for what we use."
The Takeaway: You spend too much cash.
For a month, record everything you spend. Then turn a critical eye to your list. Divide what you needed to spend— on shelter and food— from what you merely wanted to spend. Try to cut out some of the latter.
Wealth isn't all about money. You can spend more on what you want than what you need and still have too little of what counts: satisfaction.
Depending on money to feed and house yourself means you stress about it, even if you've got enough. If you try to provide the essentials by other means—gardening or bartering—you'll worry less.
Karma is real. If you give and receive more than you buy and sell, you'll find yourself a part of a community.
The Sell: A skeptic discovers the benefits of yoga.
Dederer Says: "You can't do yoga and be perfect at it. It confronts you with the messiness of reality."
The Takeaway: Lessons learned on the mat are applicable in so many places other than yoga class.
Yoga is relaxing. "You can let your mind wander, and it feels like you're meditating," says Dederer. "Nobody gets enough of that."
Fall down. "You are going to fall. It's not a disaster, it's just a fall. That can give you courage in other sports."
Yoga shows you where you're weak. "If a person has tight shoulders, it could be because his back is compromised, and his back could be tender because he has tight hamstrings. Yoga tells you what the problem is."
Yoga helps with stress. "When you're doing a really difficult arm balance, you're learning to stick with difficult situations."
The Sell: A science-based look at the causes of American weight gain.
The Takeaway: Common tropes about fat, both the state of being and the macronutrient, don't gel with our real fuel requirements.
Think calorie quality, not quantity. The more refined the carb— like sugar, potatoes, and white flour— the more insulin you secrete. Insulin stores these carbs as fat.
You crave refined carbs because your body knows these are the quickest fuel sources. Fight the urge. The less your refined-carb intake, the more your body learns to fuel itself on fat.
Bacon is good! According to Taubes, higher-fat, lower-carb diets decrease triglyceride levels and increase HDL ("good") cholesterol.
Eat these foods: Taubes recommends fresh meat and fish, eggs, green veggies, and lower-sugar fruits like wild berries, avocadoes, and figs.

You know what it's like walking into a mall, a hotel, an airport, or a hospital with your kids. Kids of all ages are frequently challenged to wait for their parents to take care of shopping, business, or travel plans. While handheld video games are fairly inexpensive these days, sometimes you want to keep your children more active.
Fortunately for parents, some technology companies have been thinking the same thing.
EyePlay, a virtual indoor playground, is projected on the floor from an overhead console/projector, and allows establishment owners to provide active play for kids ages two and up. Most parents would be hard pressed not to let their kiddos run about, playing a giant, age-appropriate video game with up to 15 other kids while they wait for their parents to finish what they came there for, right? In addition to keeping customers' children occupied, the EyePlay does include advertising space for the owner, so parents should be aware that their kids will get a dose of marketing along with their play.
The kids' indoor playground franchise, Pump It Up, has just integrated this EyePlay technology into ten of Pump It Up's locations around the country. Called "Motion Mania" at Pump It Up playgrounds, the games available there include Balloons, Super Soccer, Ball Pit, Piano, and Disco Floor, so there's likely to be some fun for everyone there.
Personally, I'd like to get a big group of kids together and re-enact that scene from Big with Tom Hanks on the big floor piano, or play "Heart and Soul" en masse to impress the other folks waiting around with us. Imagine how much fun this would be for a birthday party at your house, too, maybe in the garage to give enough indoor floor space. However you slice it, EyePlay looks like something I'd like to check out with my kids. How about you?

10 People Indicted After Investigation into the Death of an 18-Year-Old Ohio University Fraternity Pledge
Posted 8:30 am, November 20, 2019, by CNN Wire, Updated at 08:24AM, November 20, 2019
Ten people — including seven fraternity members — were indicted after an investigation into the death of an 18-year-old fraternity pledge at Ohio University last year, prosecutors said.
ATHENS, Ohio — Ten people — including seven fraternity members — were indicted after an investigation into the death of an 18-year-old fraternity pledge at Ohio University last year, prosecutors said.
Collin Wiant was pledging the Sigma Pi fraternity at the university's Athens campus in November 2018. A lawsuit filed by his parents in February alleges he was subjected to severe hazing, including being beaten with a belt, punched, made to take drugs, forced to drink a gallon of alcohol in an hour, and deprived of sleep.
The lawsuit cites a toxicology report that showed he died of nitrous oxide ingestion.
The seven fraternity members face criminal charges ranging from drug offenses and hazing to involuntary manslaughter and reckless homicide, a news release from the Athens County Prosecuting Attorney's office said.

"This isn't an Ohio University problem," prosecutor Keller Blackburn told CNN affiliates WSYX/WTTE. "This is a society problem that we, as Americans have got to fix. It is part of the reason why we have the drug epidemic we do."
Three more people were each charged with trafficking harmful intoxicants, improperly dispensing, or distributing nitrous oxide. One of them was also charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter.
At least two of them worked at a shop that Blackburn told the affiliates wasn't properly checking records and that "allowed for whippets to be sold to underage individuals."
In the early morning hours of November 12, the lawsuit alleges a fraternity member called 911 to report Wiant was unresponsive. The young student's body "was found surrounded by drug paraphernalia, including canisters of nitrous oxide," the lawsuit says. Those are often used as inhalers, known as "whippets."
The fraternity chapter did not respond to CNN's requests for comment at the time.
College Fraternity Suspended After Video Shows Puppy Being Forced to Drink From Keg
"We are aware of the tragic passing of Collin Wiant this past November, and we continue to extend our deepest condolences to his family and friends," Sigma Pi Executive Director and CEO Jonathan Frost told CNN in February.
In the two months of his pledging to the Epsilon chapter of Sigma Pi, Wiant was made to do laundry, clean and was required to be available during all hours of the day and night, the lawsuit says.
He was verbally, physically, and mentally abused and forced to drink and take drugs such as cocaine, marijuana, Adderall, and Xanax, it says.
And in the hours after Wiant's death, the fraternity chapter convened an "emergency meeting," the lawsuit says, to initiate the pledges as official members of the fraternity in an effort to "close ranks within all fraternity members to make sure they all told the same story concerning the events of earlier that morning."
The university expelled the Sigma Pi fraternity earlier this year for "hazing and other violations of the Student Code of Conduct."
"The tragic death of Collin Wiant was devastating for our community, and it is encouraging to see progress being made in the criminal case," Carly Leatherwood, a spokeswoman for the university, said Tuesday. "Our thoughts remain with the Wiant family following the heartbreaking loss of their son last November."

I don't know if I can actually articulate my adoration for the first Pitch Perfect. Most of it boils down to me loving the music and finding it absolutely hilarious - two elements that completely overwhelm the several problems that one could find if they were to look into it even somewhat deeply. No, the characters aren't deep. Yes, the plot is formulaic and predictable. But the music is fantastic and the laughs-per-minute ratio is one of the highest I've ever seen. The first Pitch Perfect is in my top five favorite comedies of all time.
So, now we have Pitch Perfect 2, almost a carbon-copied clone of the first film. It's the Hangover 2 of this franchise, except that it's not one of the worst comedies ever made, like each installment of the Hangover trilogy is. Thankfully, Pitch Perfect 2 really is "more of the same," which means that it's very funny, has great musical segments ... and the rest of it doesn't really work all that well. Thankfully, the comedy and music still more or less make up for those flaws - although not quite as well as they did the first time around. Now we've seen the same film twice, and there's only so much we can take before it's just not fun anymore.
The plot sees the Barden Bellas - an all-female collegiate a cappella group - having an accident at one of their performances that's so embarrassing that it sees them banned from competing in future competitions. As the reigning champions, though, they're allowed to go to the World Championships, which if they win, they'll be reinstated. So, they have to overcome their differences, rediscover their sound, and win the World's against their new rival, Das Sound Machine, a no-fun German group, led by Birgitte Hjort Sørensen and Flula Borg.
So, yes, it's the same as the first film, which itself was just Stomp the Yard or Bring it On, but with a cappella instead of dancing or cheerleading. Last time, though, the characters were early in their college years. This time, they're approaching graduation. The only new Bella is Emily (Hailee Steinfeld). This might not seem like it's an important difference, but it is. Pitch Perfect 2 is about its characters coming to terms that this is likely the end, and that while their a cappella careers have been nice, there's more to life than that. There's a finality to the proceedings.
This idea is propelled forward the hardest by the group's de facto leader, Beca (Anna Kendrick), beginning to intern at a recording studio run by a condescending music producer (Keegan-Michael Key), whose scenes are some of the funniest in the film.

Got my slick new SawStop 36" Professional Cabinet Saw assembled!
The safety feature on this saw is absolutely incredible. I figured it was worth the investment, since, what's the cost of a finger? Certainly more than the saw!


At this exact moment, my cable modem is online. It's been on for no more than 50 minutes at a time for the past several days now, and usually much shorter times.
When it does happen to be on, the performance is pretty good, despite packet loss up to 80%. Imagine how nice it would be if it were working properly!
I'm taking advantage of the current spot of functional broadband to download and upload large files that need transferring. I'm sending along scans for an archival project I'm working on while I download Xcode 2.3, which was just released today. I can't let myself be behind the times on my development software!
That's for sure. Makes me suspect Derek still works there.


Tulips are hands down my favorite spring flower. They are lovely and elegant while simple to care for and grow. I love to admire them as they come into bloom and I want to make all of the pretty flower crafts with the kids too! I found 10 too cute tulip projects that I couldn't wait to share with you. You might just want to make them all this spring!
I love the easy tulip earrings as a sweet gift for a friend and the paper tulips are perfect for making with my almost 8 year old. We might make a handful of these for his teacher towards the end of the year!
I can't wait to hear which of these is your favorite tulip craft!


Caregivers using this car seat are advised not use Recline position 1 when installing this car seat with a vehicle lap belt and top tether only. For any consumer wishing to install the seat forward-facing with a lap belt only and top tether, the seat should be installed using Recline Position 2.
This Notice does not apply to UAS or lap/shoulder belt installations.
Transport Canada and Clek, Inc. are informing the public of a non-compliance of the Foonf convertible car seat made between December 2012 and May 19, 2016. Specifically, Transport Canada testing found that when installed in one specific configuration, forward-facing with a lap belt only and top tether in Recline Position 1, the car seat did not meet the dynamic requirements for chest acceleration of the Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Seats Safety Regulation.
Regulations set forth by Transport Canada require car seats to meet all compliance requirements when subjected to a dynamic test, including measures and limits for chest acceleration. In testing performed by Transport Canada, the convertible car seat in question does not meet the dynamic test requirements when the seat is used forward-facing, installed with a vehicle lap belt only and tether strap, and in Recline Position 1. No other installation configuration is affected by this notice.
Transport Canada's compliance testing program uncovered the non-compliance condition. Upon being made aware of the issue, Clek immediately commisioned a retest and the results demonstrated compliance with the dynamic requirements of the Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Seats Safety Regulations. In spite of the results of Clek's retesting, in order to address the result of the Transport Canada compliance test, Clek voluntarily decided to revise the warning label and instruction manual. Effective May 20th, 2016, the Foonf warning label and instruction manual no longer allow use of Recline Position 1 when installed forward-facing with a vehicle lap belt only and tether strap. Notes have also been added to the instruction manual to reinforce that this installation configuration should not be used. For any consumer wishing to install the seat forward-facing with a lap belt only and top tether, the seat should be installed using Recline Position 2.
Clek will notify all registered consumers who own an affected product of the issue and provide them with labels that indicate the revised use information. Clek will also make these labels available to consumers who own an affected product and are not registered when they contact Clek.
Clek will notify all registered consumers affected by this notice and will provide new labels with updated use information to be applied to both the product and the instruction manual.
All non-registered consumers or consumers who have moved are encouraged to contact Clek by email or by phone for the labels providing updated use information.
The affected seats should not be returned to retailers or the company.

You'd think that ANYONE could continue to improve throughout his career. He's surrounded by dozens of other players with different shot specialties and plays thousands of games with/against a big variety of abilities and styles. Plenty of learning opportunities.

Or, for some, is it just a physiological limit?


You know it is very interesting most people think that the Criminal Justice System is set up to work and act in a very fair and even handed manner. those people think that right up until the time that they or someone they love is arrested. And the epiphany that they have after they get involved in the Criminal Justice System is mind blowing. The system is not set up in a fair manner, most Judges are prosecutors, those at are prosecutors wanna be Judges and the way to do that is rack up convictions and to keep as they say fighting the forces of crime and fighting the forces of justice. It is set up in favor of the the prosecution, it is set up in the favor of the Government. they have the money, they have the power, they have the resources. And that is why, the best thing that you can do is to take the process, handle the process as seriously and proactively as possible.

Chief demands review into Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency
Scotland's top cop has called for a review into the old Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency. Iain Livingstone has told the Scottish Police Authority that he wants an outside force to investigate the disbanded undercover unit.

Number of sex offenders living in East Kilbride up by one third in a year
Almost 60 sex offenders are living in East Kilbride and Avondale, the News can reveal. And shocking statistics show the number of convicted paedophiles, rapists and sex attackers in the area has risen by more than a third in the last 12 months. Police Scotland figures obtained by the East Kilbride News under the Freedom of Information Act have revealed that, as of April 15, there were 48 convicted perverts resident in East Kilbride and a further eight in Avondale. The figure has risen by 36 per cent from last year when there were 41 sex offenders housed in the area. Central Scotland List MSP Monica Lennon said: "From reading the East Kilbride News it's evident that Hamilton Sheriff Court is kept extremely busy every single day dealing with these vile cases."

Police claimed 'not proven' verdict implied guilt
Police Scotland was criticised by lawyers this month after mistakenly claiming that "not proven" implied a jury believed a suspect was guilty. In a letter to Dundee city council objecting to an application for a taxi licence, police cited the driver's three minor criminal convictions dating back more than seven years and a charge against him that was found not proven by a jury in 2017.

Police Scotland asks for peer review of former undercover policing unit
Police Scotland Chief Constable Iain Livingstone has asked for an external force to examine "unsatisfactory and unprofessional" conduct by the former Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency (SCDEA). He said that while he was "entirely satisfied" that a review of the SCDEA by an in-house team had been "robust and appropriate", he understands that public confidence in covert policing was vital. Mr Livingstone added that the force would take further action if the review finds any further lines of inquiry or recommendations. The misconduct allegations relate to an incident in 2011 when a former employee, known as Mrs K, claims she was frozen out of her job for raising concerns about actions within the unit.

Review into young offenders' institute looks at youth custody suicide risk
A review of mental health provision at a young offenders' institution where two people took their own lives has found the "risks and vulnerabilities" of some inmates are not given enough attention.

Office worker captured on police facial recognition camera launches first major legal challenge over technology

Ed Bridges, from Cardiff, has crowdfunded action against South Wales Police over claims that the use of the technology on him was an unlawful violation of privacy.
