The Millwood Mystery
Jeannie Lockett
"The sun had set away behind Willamstown, but the red glow was still there, and lay like a shadow of blood on the placid waters of our bay."
Murder, love, courage. This triptych of nineteenth-century thrillers by Mary Helena Fortune, writing as Waif Wander, encompasses colonial Australia's sweeping landscapes, fearsome bushrangers, and the voices of women long silenced. Fortune, who has been all-but forgotten by Australian literary history, subverts the limits imposed on nineteenth-century female authors by writing about women who struggle against incredible odds . . . and sometimes win.
Serialised in Australian periodicals between 1866 and 1887, these three mysteries were wildly popular, but lost to time. This beautiful, collectable edition celebrates a pioneering voice who knew how to write page-turning tales.
Marjory Graham runs panicked into the night, desperate to find help. When she wakes Dr Reade and returns home with him, they find Barbara Graham poisoned. The inquest reveals a wealth of suspects: Barbara's stepdaughter, her fiancé, and her future sister-in-law. Whispers begin to spread through Millwood.
The Millwood Mystery is a psychological thriller set in a small town in the remote Hunter Valley. The crime is a vehicle for our journey into the lives of Millwood society, where appearance is paramount and transgression brings judgement, isolation, and financial ruin—particularly for women. Lockett explores women's place in society, expectations around marriage and divorce, domestic violence and women's lack of agency, and the repercussions of loneliness and isolation in small-town Australia.
This recovered gem of Australian mystery is accompanied by Reading Notes, including an essay by the author: 'Divorce Considered from a Woman's Point of View.'

Can Animals Sense that You're Pregnant? « Are You Preggers?
Can Animals Sense that You're Pregnant?
February 20 is National Love Your Pet Day! And who among us doesn't love your pet? We chose today to dive into the question of whether your pets, namely dogs and cats, actually know that you're pregnant . . . maybe even before you do.
Okay, let's back up a little bit. I don't think that our pets actually know that you are pregnant or perhaps what that really even means, but they do know that something is different about you.
Most pet owners keep pets because they love the companionship that cats and dogs, or other animals, can give. These animals become a treasured part of the family. We love them and they in turn love us back. It starts out as dependence – they need us for food, water, shelter, etc. – but most of them come to love their humans deeply, as well. Many of them are protective.
Cats and dogs are also very intuitive. They can sense subtle changes that sometimes we don't even know. For instance, my cat seems to always know when I'm about to catch a cold or a virus. She cuddles up right by me and won't leave my side. Sure enough, by the next day, I'm sneezing away, or worse yet, vomiting. She knew. They say that some animals can sense when their owner has cancer, specifically skin cancer. It only makes sense that they would also sense when your body has changed due to pregnancy.
According to most animal behavior specialists, this ability actually comes from the animal's excellent sense of smell. The hormone levels of women change almost immediately once a woman becomes pregnant. They begin producing elevated levels of estrogen, progesterone and chorionic gonadotropin. Our senses, not as sensitive as dogs and cats, cannot sense or smell these hormone changes, but many people believe that our pets can. Perhaps even before a pregnancy test would detect them.
Although it seems likely that dogs and cats really can sense a new pregnancy, they don't all react in the same ways. A dog may become protective and not let anyone near you. Or, quite the opposite, a dog that has always been mild and good natured, may growl at you when you arrive home. A highly independent cat, may become clingy. They probably are confused and don't understand why they feel differently about you, but they know there is something different.
The most important thing to do, regardless of how your pet reacts, is to just keep loving them and keep as much of your regular activities with them as you can. You'll reassure your pets that they're still part of the family and that they're not going to be abandoned or go hungry. But, if you're like me, I won't really need to tell you that. You'll have no problem loving on your pets no matter what! And most likely, you'll have a fierce protector for the new little life that will soon be joining your family.
My fur babies keep a watchful eye on my human babies! Love them all!

Q: Java Assertion Question What exactly happens when a Java assertion fails? How does the programmer come to know that an assertion has failed?
Thanks.

A: If assertions are enabled in the JVM (via the -ea flag), an AssertionError will be thrown when the assertion fails.
This should not be caught, because if an assertion fails, it basically means one of your assumptions about how the program works is wrong. So you typically find out about an assertion failure when you get an exception stack trace logged with your thread (and possibly whole program) terminating.

A: An assertion will only fail if you enabled assertions in the JVM when it started. You can do that by specifying the parameter -ea in the command line. If you do that, then this block of code will throw an AssertionError when it is executed:
public void whatever() {
   assert false;
}

Assertions should be used to detect programming errors only. If you are validating user input or something on those lines, don't use assertions.

A: It throws an AssertionError which is a subclass of Error.  As an Error generally and as a failed assertion in particular, you likely should not try to catch it since it is telling you there's a significant abnormality in your code and that if you continue you'll probably be in some undefined, unsafe state.

A: If an assertion fails and assertion are enabled at runtime it will throw an AssertionError.
Usually you use assert statements in JUnit testings, when building your application you are running a test utility that will check for errors and tell you.
Take a look at this: Programming With Assertions

A: It throws an AssertionError. Howeveer, you have to compile the program with the -ea or -enableassertions flag to have it generate an actual exception

A: It throws an Error.  It is just like when you get a NullPointerException, but it's a subclass of java.lang.Error.  The name is AssertionError.
It's like a NullPointerException in the sense that you don't have to declare the throws or anything, it just throws it.
assert(false);

is like
throw new AssertionError();

if you run your program with the -ea flag passed to the java program (VM).

A: Programmer can write try catch block so if a error has occurred then it can be caught in catch and the programmer can come to know
try
{
  assert false;
}
catch(Exception e)
{
  System.out.println("Error has occured");
}

Dorrans makes injury comeback
And see how Albion's other internationals fared
GRAHAM Dorrans gave Albion a boost by returning from injury to play 63 minutes in ten-man Scotland's 2-1 defeat by Wales in their World Cup qualifying Group A clash at Hampden Park last night.
The Baggies midfielder made his comeback after missing last Saturday's goalless draw at Stoke due a slight calf strain.
Unfortunately, he was forced to concede the bragging rights to Hawthorns team-mate Boaz Myhill, who played the full game for the Dragons as they came from behind to win.
In the same group Romelu Lukaku was an unused substitute for Belgium as they beat Macedonia 2-0 to go top of the table on goal difference.
In Group C Shane Long played 87 minutes and Jonas Olsson the entire game as the Albion team-mates went head to head in the goalless draw between the Republic of Ireland and Sweden in Solna.
Ben Foster was an unused substitute for England as they thrashed San Marino 8-0 in Group H.
Gabriel Tamas played 90 minutes for Romania as they twice came from behind in their Group D encounter to draw 2-2 with Hungary in Budapest.
Chris Brunt and Gareth McAuley's game for Northern Ireland against Russia in Belfast was postponed due to the bad weather.

Pope Francis Meets Migrants In Lesbos, Returns To Rome With 12 On His Plane
By Sylvia Poggioli,
Michel Martin
This is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Michel Martin. We'll begin the program today with news about Pope Francis and his visit to Greece, which is on the frontlines of Europe's migrant crisis. The pope went to the island of Lesbos and created a surprise. He met migrants at a camp on the island and returned to Rome with 12 Syrian Muslims on his plane. NPR's Sylvia Poggioli joins us now from Lesbos, where she's been reporting on the pope's visit. Sylvia, thanks so much for joining us.
SYLVIA POGGIOLI, BYLINE: Thank you.
MARTIN: Who are the 12 people that the pope has taken back to Rome with him?
POGGIOLI: Well the Vatican statement said that they're members of three families, and they include six children. Two of the families are from Damascus and one is from an area under ISIS control. The agreement allowing them to leave was worked out by the Vatican and Greek and Italian authorities, so it was probably in the works for at least a few days. It wasn't spur of the moment. Now, all 12 of these people had been on the island of Lesbos from before March 20th. That's the day a controversial deal between the European Union and Turkey went into affect. That deal stipulates that anyone arriving in Greece after March 20 will be deported back to Turkey unless they succeed in obtaining asylum in Greece. So technically the Vatican has not violated that deal. But nevertheless, the pope's gesture stands as a sharp rebuke to European countries that are shutting their doors to refugees and migrants. And on the flight back to Rome, Francis told reporters this had been a very emotional day for him. He felt like crying.
MARTIN: Did the Vatican indicate where the families will live, what they will do, how will they - will be cared for?
POGGIOLI: The Vatican will be responsible for them, but the initial hospitality will be handled by this community - it's called the Sant'Egidio Community, which has been very active in promoting what they call humanitarian visas for refugees and has a long experience with conflict resolution and helping - assisting refugees and migrants.
MARTIN: So let's go back a little bit, Sylvia, if you don't mind, and tell us a little bit more about the background to this visit to Lesbos and how it came about.
POGGIOLI: Well it was organized on very short notice. The pope came at the invitation of Orthodox religious leaders. The Orthodox and the Vatican had strongly criticized the EU deal with Turkey. On the flight to Lesbos, the pope said he was going to witness firsthand what he called the greatest humanitarian catastrophe since World War II. And this is what he told a group of some 250 refugees at the main detention center on the island.
POPE FRANCIS: (Through interpreter) We have come to call the attention of the world to this grave humanitarian crisis and to plead for its resolution. We hope that the world will heed these scenes of tragic and, indeed, desperate need and respond in a way worthy of our common humanity.
MARTIN: So on the flight back, the pope said that the decision is a purely humanitarian gesture. But do you think that there is actually more to it than that?
POGGIOLI: Well, it certainly has a political implication. Pope Francis has shown he's not afraid to be provocative on immigration issues. On his very first papal trip in 2013, he traveled to what was then the migrant crisis frontline. That was the Italian island of Lampedusa, where he denounced what he called the globalization of indifference toward migrants and refugees. Last February, at the Mexican border with the U.S., again, he spoke out in favor of migrants.
And this is what he said today, as he thanked the Greek people and the residents of Lesbos for welcoming and helping shelter refugees - Francis said, the worries expressed by institutions and people, both in Greece and in other European countries, are understandable and legitimate. We must never forget, he said, however, that migrants, rather than simply being a statistic, are first of all persons who have names, faces and individual stories.
MARTIN: And the Pope did not make this visit by himself, correct, Sylvia? There was a religious and kind of interfaith dimension as well. Can you talk a little bit about that?
POGGIOLI: He was accompanied by the - a spiritual leader of the Orthodox, Patriarch Bartholomew, the leader of the Greek Orthodox Church, Ieronymous. The event was a sign of how much progress there's been between Western and Eastern branches of Christianity that split nearly 1,000 years ago. And he has - last February, he succeeded in Havana, becoming the first pope ever to meet the Russian Orthodox patriarch, with whom he found common ground on the plight of Christians in the Middle East and elsewhere. It's too soon to say whether the Catholic and Orthodox churches will resolve their centuries-old theological differences, but it's clear that on contemporary global issues, the two churches are speaking more and more with a unified voice.
MARTIN: That's NPR's Sylvia Poggioli on the island of Lesbos, reporting on the visit of Pope Francis and two Orthodox leaders there. Sylvia thanks so much for joining us.
POGGIOLI: Thank you, Michel. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE DIVISION. France. Volume I Physical Geography [Volume II History and Administration. Volume III Economic Geography. Volume IV Ports and Communications].
pre-d-day
NAVAL INTELLIGENCE DIVISION. France. Volume I Physical Geography [Volume II History and Administration. Volume III Economic Geography. Volume IV Ports and Communications]. [Cambridge, UP, printed under the Authority of HMSO], June 1942-October, 1943.
Four volumes, 8vo. Original Royal Air Force grey-blue cloth, spines and front covers lettered and ruled in gilt; highly illustrated with maps, plates and diagrams, one large colour-printed map in rear pocket; cloth a little spotted and marked and spines unevenly faded, internally very good;provenance: from the library of the Imperial Agricultural Bureau with their stamps to front endpapers, volume II with number inscribed on front cover.
First edition of one of the rarest complete sets of the series, restricted. Probably one of the best-researched books of the time on the country, with contributions on agriculture, population, topography, economics, climate, transport, in short, every aspect - and more - the military was supposed to know about France during the liberation from Fascism and the Nazis. 'A series of intelligence handbooks produced during the First World War had proved valuable both during the conflict and as subsequent reference sources. Early in the Second World War the Director of Naval Intelligence ordered the preparation of a new and improved series to meet the requirements of the day. The Handbooks were designed to provide, in the words of the Preface, "for the use of Commanding Officers, information in a comprehensive and convenient form about countries which they may be called upon to visit, not only in war but in peace-time; secondly, to maintain the high standard of education in the Navy and, by supplying officers with material for lectures ... to ensure for all ranks that visits to a new country shall be both interesting and profitable"' (Cambridge Archive Editions, who reproduce a few titles on the series, online). The four France volumes where prepared by the Cambridge sub-centre of the Naval Intelligence Division under the directorship of Sir James Mann Wordie (1889-1962) who, before fighting in France during the last years of the First World War had been chief of the scientific staff of Shackleton's arduous 1914 Antarctic expedition.
The rarity of complete sets is due to the fact that with D-day these volumes were issued to military units, split into single volumes and used by thousands. We once handled the four France volumes collected by the British author Alan Sillitoe, who, in the 1970s, had to make up a set from different sources.

A big thanks to Tom Merriman for this month's theme of "The Next Level", which is timely for me as I've just completed my annual performance review at work, and as some of you know it hasn't been that long since I finished grad school and transitioned back to some facsimile of normal human again.
friends and traveling companions. They are also guilty of introducing me to the best vacations I've ever had, sailing on a Windjammer ship.
Last week my mother went to the funeral of one of her aunts who was 101. She sent me this summary about her Aunt Bernie: She went to college at the age of 55 and got her degree, then applied to the Peace Corp but was rejected because she was too old! After that she taught school at the Indian Mission in Zuni, New Mexico, and then got her Masters in Bi-Cultural Studies. All of that after the age I am now, and now I'm feeling the pressure. Oh no, must Level Up! Achieve More!
What's your next level ?
Thanks for using the theme, Beth!
Onwards and upwards is my motto when it comes to moving forwards. I may not actually move my way on, but I feel as though I am moving!
Thank YOU for providing the themes and challenges! It's fun to think of some way to bring an idea forward that another person presents.
Write on! 😀 Congratulations on going for the next level!
Well done, Beth, well done. You will not regret it. Just pick a place and start. Doesn't have to be at the beginning. Just start. The rest will take care of itself. And if it doesn't, remember can fix it! Diane gave me a priceless bit of wisdom, and that's the Deleted Scenes file. Don't like something? Don't throw it completely away. That's 'way too painful. But it doesn't hurt at all to cut it from your story and paste it into your deleted scenes file. Who knows? You might need it again later, and if not, it's still good to go back occasionally and read it all again. Hey, triggers and thought-provokers are where you find them.
I'm looking forward to reading your work. Pour it on.
Thanks! Isn't it amazing where inspiration can be found. We went to the Minneapolis Auto Show today…a rich environment indeed!


The lateral geniculate body (LGN) was morphometrically examined and compared in representatives of four mammalian orders (Insectivora, Rodentia, Lagomorpha, and Carnivora). In each studied species, the lateral geniculate body was divided into two distinct parts: the dorsal nucleus (LGNd) and the ventral nucleus (LGNv). The lateral geniculate body of the common shrew and the bank vole are very similar in appearance and nuclear pattern. The dorsal and ventral nuclei of these two species also have the most similar statistical characteristics. The lateral geniculate body of the fox has the most complicated morphology and multilayered structure. A significant disproportion was observed between the sizes of both geniculate nuclei in the fox, where the dorsal nucleus definitely surpassed the ventral nucleus in terms of volume. With the exception of the fox, the neuronal density of the LGN nuclei was negatively correlated with the volumes of the LGN. The mean neuronal size of the LGNd and LGNv, which was the resultant of the length, width, area, and circumference of the soma, grew correlatively to the volumes of these nuclei. In all examined species, somas of the LGNd neurons are distinctly larger and have more similar shapes than the LGNv perikarya. In addition, the numerical density of neurons in the ventral nucleus is significantly higher than in the dorsal nucleus. All these morphometric parameters clearly differentiate the LGNd from the LGNv.

"There is no greater sorry than to recall in misery the time when we were happy."
-Dante Alighieri
"Easy there chief," Zaria snickered as Petrovich groaned. The curved needle that she slowly wove through the skin around his bullet wound wasn't what caused the man to burst into seething curses. It was the dab of petulant burning alcohol from a bottle of vodka that the young doctor dabbed onto the injury each time it was sewn slightly more together that earned the stream of swearing.
"Getting shot never was the painful part," Petrovich hissed through his gritted teeth.
"I wouldn't know. You should listen to Virus and Murphy's advice. They recommend not getting shot. Could be a habit worth checkin out," Zaria teased. She drew the last bit of thread taught after tying a quick knot and slit the thread with a dented black combat knife from her boot.
"So Zaria, tell me. What is a young woman like yourself doing wasting away with a group of soldiers like these?" Petrovich asked curiously, taking a slow swig from the bottle of vodka used to treat his arm. Zaria snatched the bottle from his hand and took a drink for herself before splashing a small amount onto the wound for good measure. Petrovich cried out and scooted his chair away from the harassing doctor.
"It's a tincy bit of a long story pops," Zaria answered. Petrovich watched intelligently as she stood and began stowing her medical materials with practiced diligence.
"You're not a soldier, and you're not from the wastes, I can tell that much," He analyzed.
"You're right, I'm not from the wastes, but I'm learning to be a solider. I-I have to," Zaria stated, closing the overhead cupboard and pressing her forehead against the old, chipped particleboard.
"Well, if you'd care to entertain an injured old man with a story, I'd be much obliged to listen," Petrovich offered courteously. Zaria smiled meekly and walked over to the stool before him. She exhaustedly took her seat and glared at the old man critically.
"I've only got about half an hour before PT," Zaria informed her curious new friend.
"Well, the best stories are told over time. No one likes a short book do they?" Petrovich mused.
"Well that depends on if it's got pictures or pop-ups. I'm a simple woman," Zaria joked. "Fine. Well I grew up in the city of Saint. My mom was a doctor there. She passed away a few years ago."
"Oh I'm sorry," Petrovich frowned.
"It's alright, she was in a lot of pain, but not anymore," Zaria said distantly.
"I see. Please, continue," Petrovich urged sympathetically.
"Before she died I spent a lot of my time helping her with house calls around town or running errands. I really didn't know what I wanted to do with my life until she started to get sick. It was around that time that I started really studying and looking for anyway I could save the only person that I really had in my life. After she died I became a bit of a drunk. I actually almost lost the house too. It was about the time that I woke up in an alleyway with two guys about to take advantage of me that I really decided to get my shit together," Zaria explained. Her eyes failed to focus on anything in particular and Petrovich understood very well why. He too had lost the people he loved and fell into a downward spiral. His own daughter had been stripped from him during the war and never seen again. He could still envision her smiling, pallid face and her gentle brown eyes.
"Is that when you decided to become a doctor like your mother?" He asked, insisting she continue. Zaria nodded and smiled broadly.
"Pretty much. The people needed a doctor and what was I doing to her memory by not helping those in need like she had, right? God I saw some nasty shit. Have you ever seen a man's balls enflamed from a tarantula bite? 'Cause I have and it is not something I'd care to see again," Zaria laughed. Petrovich laughed along with the melodious and contagious sound unable to help the smile that permeated his features.
"So what brought you here, Zaria? I couldn't imagine anything lacking some significant importance taking you away from your duties," Petrovich enquired. Zaria chuckled and her cheeks flushed a rosy pink.
"Not a what, but a who, actually. I was out walking one night a little over a year ago when some crazy shit went down. The local cartel, not great guys but they had their moments, owned a pretty big building in town. Helipad, pier on the water; the works. I heard some gunfire, but I didn't think anything of it. When I got down to the beach a few minutes later, there were two bodies. One was a boy, probably no older than fifteen or so. The other was a girl." At the mention of the girl, Zaria beamed, to this day still amazed at the turn of events that led her to meeting Rogue.
"Ah, so what was so special about this girl?" Petrovich asked, smiling encouragingly.
"Everything, but when I found her she was nearly dead. She had a massive hole in her stomach from a gunshot, and another bullet lodged in her shoulder. The kid looked okay so I left him there and took the girl back to my place for treatment. After hours of treatment I finally got her to stop bleeding and stitched together. It took about three days for her to finally wake up. Shit, she scared me half to death! I wake up and walk into my kitchen to see this half naked blonde chick with scars all over making a pot of coffee like she owned the damn place. And what does she do when she sees me? Just says, "Good morning," like we'd been friends for years," Zaria laughed, clutching her sides at the memory of her own story. Petrovich stood and leaned against the wall on the other side of the room. The light from the window fell softly on his old features, making him seem less like an old soldier and more like a wise grandfather living vicariously through the tales he hears and spins.
"And when, might I ask, did you realize that you were in love with her?" he deduced in a sage-like tone. Zaria shrugged and started tightening the laces on her boots. She had to get going or Grant would light her up in front of the others.
"You know, I used to keep telling myself that it was after I scared her away, but honestly, it was at those two words," Zaria said peacefully. "Those two words that I wanted to wake up to everyday of my life."
"Well when can I meet this lovely woman?" Petrovich asked warmly. Zaria's smile immediately left her lips and the sadness that Petrovich had seen in them before returned, sending a pang of guilt through his chest. Zaria shook her head and smirked at her friend.
"I've gotta go Father Time, I'll talk to you later. Help yourself to the liquor," Zaria said hurriedly. She dashed out the door quickly and left Petrovich with his thoughts.
"Zaria, glad you could join us!" Grant shouted as Zaria came jogging down the street. She pouted at Grant over the men and women of the unit that were going through a brief stretch. The sunlight baked down onto the soldiers that stood just outside of the front gates to New Kennedy and dust had already begun to collect on their clothing.
"Sorry, Gandalf's arm needed a little more attention than I'd expected," Zaria lied. Grant seemed to accept it however and shrugged his massive shoulders indifferently.
"Alright, we're going to run a few laps around camp and then run through some core. No sparring today, Tanner want's us all hitting the range. Lets move!" Grant barked out. Zaria pressed off ahead of the rest of the unit, keeping pace with Grant as they ran. Her now hardened muscles had added a portion of weight to her arms and legs, making her look all the more akin to the soldiers running behind her.
"Getting pretty fast there short stuff," Grant noticed.
"Yeah, well, when you train with the best right?" Zaria smirked.
"You're not wrong. Speaking of, your arms are gettin big too. You hittin the weights?" Grant asked between breaths. It had been a while since he'd seen Zaria in a sleeveless shirt, but looking now, the girl's muscles were clearly larger than they had been last time he'd seen her.
"Well, without Rogue around I've got nothing better to do," Zaria affirmed. "Speaking of muscles, your pecs looks like they're getting a little small, Hulk." Zaria leaned into a sprint as soon as the taunt left her mouth and she tore off laughing.
"Hey, words hurt!" Grant hollered after her, flexing each of the muscles comically.
Petrovich stood atop the exterior ramparts of New Kennedy, watching interestedly as his young friend pushed herself harder than even the trained and battle hardened soldiers behind her.
"She's really been working hard," Tanner said beside him. Petrovich jerked at the Mechanics sudden presence.
"God damn you Tinman, you scared the hell out of me," Petrovich chuckled, pulling his hand away from where it clutched at his chest.
"Sorry man, that's my bad. Anyway, why so interested in the doctor?" Tanner inquired, leaning his back against the railing of the wall, his arms crossed over his chest.
"There's something about her and I think you know what I mean. She has the same spark that the four of you had when Clayton brought you new recruits into the inspection center back at District X," Petrovich remembered.
"She's got a good head on her shoulders, that's for sure," Tanner agreed.
"She had started to tell me about this other girl in her life, but when I asked to meet her she got that distraught look in her eyes. What happened?"
Tanner sighed and turned out to face the wastelands. His face was troubled and Petrovich waited patiently as the sun baked his tired and wrinkled skin. It took Tanner a while to answer, lost in his thoughts that seemed to grow more troubled as the weeks went by.
"It's a long story, but the gist of it all is that she was taken. Granted it took over four Soldiers with a capital S, and Him to do it," Tanner said.
"Four soldiers? Was she a Mercenary? And who's this Him?" Petrovich rambled, frustration evident in the creased lines of his forehead and eyes.
"Seraph. And no, she was never augmented," Tanner answered, ignoring the grunt of resentment that Petrovich released.
"That coward. What does he want with Zaria's girl?" Petrovich pressed.
"God I wish I knew. All we know about her is that she used to work for him, but when she got out of control, he tried to have her put down. He failed and she lost her memory in the aftermath. Virus met her in Saint and Zaria saved her life. Odd turn of events that was. But Rogue's been helping us and those two girls are in whole different kind of love. It's a little nauseating really," Tanner joked at the end of his recount.
"You four always were at the middle of all the worst kind of shit," Petrovich smirked.
"You're tellin me. But we haven't had any leads on where Rogue is and Virus and I are solidly against risking taking on Seraph, wherever the hell he is now. Zaria's been tearing herself apart, blaming herself for Rogue getting taken. She's not going to stop. Not until Rogue is found. It's been almost seven months though. I'm starting to doubt that we'll find her alive… I'm getting too old for this fight," Tanner said mournfully.
"You'll find her. If I'm right about your young doctor there, you'll find her," Petrovich assured, clapping his hand on Tanner's shoulder.
"Fuck, I hope so. Anyway, I've got to get out to the range and make sure everything is set up. You're welcome to come spectate," Tanner offered. He patted Petrovich on the shoulder and strolled tiredly down the wooden ramp of the ramparts. Petrovich watched Tanner vanish around the corner and peered back over the side of the rampart. Zaria was nearly half a lap ahead of the rest of the men and even from this distance the determination that filled her soul and weighed heavy on her mind could be seen clear as the sun that hung brightly above the morning sky.

About the United States Court System
The Court system in the United States is made up of a Federal Court system and fifty state Court systems. In each system, there are two general types of Courts: Trial Courts and Appellate Courts.
Santa Ana Trial Court
Trial Courts in Santa Ana, CA hear cases for the first time. In a Trial Court, both sides of the dispute present evidence to support their version of events, and a jury is usually called on to decide the case. One judge presides over the case in a Trial Court.
Limited Jurisdiction Court
Orange County Courts of limited jurisdiction may be limited to hearing only cases involving misdemeanors, small claims, or traffic and other minor violations in California. Courts of limited jurisdiction may also only hear cases on specific subject matter, such as Orange County Probate Courts and Orange County Family Courts.
Santa Ana Appellate Court
Santa Ana Appellate Courts hear appeals of decisions reached at Trial Courts in Orange County. No new evidence is presented in Appellate Court. A judge or panel of judges decides the appeal rather than a jury.
Federal Courts in California
In the Federal Court system, District Courts serve as the Trial Courts. In the state Court systems, Trial Courts are further grouped into Courts of general jurisdiction and Courts of limited jurisdiction. Courts of general jurisdiction are Courts that can hear cases of any kind, including felonies. The names for Courts of general jurisdiction vary but are referred to as Superior Courts or District Courts and may be organized to hear cases within certain geographic areas, such as Orange County.
The Appellate Courts in the Federal Court system consist of twelve Circuit Courts that are organized regionally and the U.S. Supreme Court, which is the highest Court in the country.

Love Live! Sunshine!! Review
I am a huge Love Live fan. It's an obsession that has literally taken over my life. Tons of merchandise… idol music on my phone… constantly playing the gatcha game… pining over waifus. However, even though I love the LL franchise, the second season of Love Live Sunshine left me feeling a little bittersweet. It was a fun ride, and I still love the show, but I think it was much weaker than the first Love Live series. Please read my review below to find out why, despite my idol obsession, I was disappointed.
The characters in this series get a 10/10. Every single one of them has a unique personality that makes them both lovable and relatable. Great characters have always, in my opinion, been the strongest aspect of the Love Live franchise. A while back, I wrote an entire post analyzing why the characters in the series are so strong. The same elements apply to Sunshine.
The best part of the second season was the individual episodes that developed some of the characters. (The Yohane and Riko episode was my favorite one in the entire series.) I felt that I was able to get much closer to some of the characters, such as Dia who had closed off her true personality for the majority of the first season. The episodes about Ruby were great as well. They showed that she has more to her personality than just her timidness.
At the same time, the characterization was uneven, which Remy discusses in his review of the series. I felt like there were more characters that needed attention. Especially Kanaan. Although she and Mari got an episode focusing on their reconciliation, I felt like I still don't know much about Kanaan as a person. She barely got any screen time in the first season and not much in this one either.
Different Story Expectations
The characters are really what shine in this anime and they make it worth watching. But I wasn't happy with the story. This is partly due to my own expectations. As a writer, I knew that the story had to take a different approach than the first series. In other words, the school couldn't be saved. If the school had been saved, it would have been too similar to the original series. In Sunshine, the school needed to recruit new students in order to stay open. At the very end of the first season, it showed that only one student had applied to the school. I assumed that this meant the school wasn't going to be salvaged.
In my head, I began to wonder: "How can they make the story different?" I started coming up with different scenarios. The story I came up with was this- at the beginning of the second season, the school would be closing or would have already closed. The girls would struggle with their identity and question whether they should continue the idol group.
But… this didn't happen. In the beginning of the second season, the school was still open and girls became all upset when they heard that the school might close.
Now, it isn't a bad thing that the story took a different route than I thought it would. The creators obviously have their way of interpreting things. But it did affect my enjoyment a little bit. Either way, I knew the school was going to close. It was inevitable from a story point of view and a realistic point of view. This is why I didn't like the episodes that focused on the girls attempting to save the school (it was mostly Episode 8 I believe). I felt that they could have used that time to focus on other important things like the characterization or… idoling!
A Lack Of Idoling And A Satisfying Ending
Although Love Live always focused on things outside of the girls' idol career, I expected more idol-related things in the show. We didn't really get to see Aqours practice a lot. We barely knew anything about their process of making songs, costumes, or choreography.
What irked me the most was the final performance. The performance itself was great. I really enjoyed it. But we saw no preparation. Like, how did they make those skirts that turned into feathers? (It is going to bother me!) How did they have time to prepare everything when they were busy with other things, like the closing school ceremony?
What bothered me the most, however, was how we didn't see their reaction when they won. Earlier in the season, we saw their reaction when they were placed into the next round. It was emotional and I admit I wanted to cry because I was so proud of them. The performance with Ruby and Saint Snow was also emotional because I saw how much Ruby and the others grew as characters.
But the big moment when they finally won Love Live? Nothing. No emotion. It skips to Chika sitting on the beach with the winning banner.
This did not make me feel satisfied. At all. Especially with all of the build-up in the 11th episode.
What would have made me feel satisfied is seeing all of their emotion- their relief, disbelief, anxiety- when they were given the winning title. Chika asked all of them if they wanted to win Love Live, and they all said yes. But we don't get to see how they reacted when they actually did win- when that listless dream came true.
I wasn't satisfied with the very end either. The girls claim they found their radiance, which, of course, is metaphorical. However, I feel like I didn't get to completely feel their radiance with them. I felt like all of the emotional buildup fell flat. It was nice to see them all sing and dance together, but… it just didn't hit me emotionally. Something about it was lackluster, in my opinion.
I was also confused. Mostly about the third years. I know they said it was "the last time" they were going to perform together… But I was still confused. Had they delayed their departures to college? Had they changed their minds and wanted to stay? Had they been planning to surprise Chika all along? Was the whole thing about them leaving just a farce?
As the curtain closed, my mind was plagued with these questions and I did not feel any closure. Although the end of the first Love Live series was kind of open-ended, it made me feel excited. That wasn't the case for Sunshine, though.
You know what? Maybe I have to watch the entire anime again. Maybe the anime's focus isn't characters growing as people through creating an idol group as I consider the first series to be. Maybe the underlying focus is a bunch of girls desperately trying to save their school (with some idol stuff on the side) and finding their "radiance" that way. Perhaps if I watch it again with this in mind, I would enjoy the second season more. Maybe my focus was too much on the actual idol aspect.
However, I really don't want to make it seem like I didn't enjoy it. Despite the story, I did like it. I got to see more shenanigans of some of my favorite characters of all time. I got introduced to new songs. I saw some great performances and adorable costumes. I just think some of the parts about the school should not have been so drawn out. And I think the ending needed more emotional impact.
Everything in between, though, was fun and I fell even more in love with the girls from Sunshine.
I just hope the movie can help wrap up the story and help everyone feel some closure.

Heey, again, thanks for being on! I actually really like how you ended up becoming more critical that myself for some parts of this season. Personal favorite was when we talk about the functioning of the school and how the heck Mari actually runs the darn facility, lol.
Shinryu says:
My thoughts on Season 2 were actually pretty similar to yours. I certainly can't say that I hated it but, as a huge Love Live fan, I was just really disappointed. While I liked the dealing with failure elements of the story overall, I found the actual story as they told it to be extremely uneven. So many of the episodes could have actually been thrown away and nothing would have changed. The defense for this I've seen frequently is that it was more of a slice of life show and less of a typical idol show. Fair enough, but it's still really uneven because even good slice of lifes have some semblance of structure and do a much better job on focusing on their entire cast as opposed to cherrypicking only a few.
In the end, it felt to me like they had essentially the beginning and end of the season in mind when crafting Season 2 but had no idea what to do with all of the episodes in middle and so they just ended up writing each of them in a vacuum with little care to what was in them or which characters they focused on.
I do wonder what the upcoming movie will be like though. Hopefully it will feel more cohesive than the season did.


A pioneering city planning project is underway in the German city of Mönchengladbach: the UrbanLife+ research project will make everyday life easier for senior citizens with the aid of technical solutions in public spaces. Drees & Sommer has been collaborating with other project partners from the fields of science, social welfare, economics and administrationon realizing this project promoted by the Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF). The project has now reached the stage where important public-space measurement work can be initiated.
The plan is for Human Technology Interaction to assist seniors to be able to move around the city safely and without hindrance: benches individually adapted to suit seniors' requirements. Information spotlights provide orientation for senior citizens. Street lights adjust their strength to suit the visual faculties of passers-by and sensors alert people to danger at street crossings and junctions. The solutions that are being devised in the UrbanLife+ research project for seniors to combat everyday obstacles are as simple as they are ingenious.
The next stage in this intergenerational urban design project – the first major project of its type in Germany – is to carry out a drive-through survey of the public spaces in the Rheindahlen and Haerdterbroich-Pesch city districts of Mönchengladbach. This will be undertaken by geodata experts Topcon. The survey findings are important elements of the Safety Atlas which Drees & Sommer is responsible for drawing up and which will provide city planners in the future with important information as to the requirements of the 65plus generation with regard to public spaces. Once the Mönchengladbach project has been completed at the end of 2020, numerous other cities are expected to benefit from this exciting research project in the Lower Rhine region.
A great deal more information on the project can be found at https://www.urbanlifeplus.de.


Way back on January 7th, I posted Part 1 of this 3 part mini series on fitting OTR corsets, wherein I discussed the different ways that some corset companies use to describe the curviness or the proportions of the corsets they sell. To summarize this first part, there are 3 main ways: the use of size charts; recommending that clients' natural measurements be within a certain range; or discussing the rib-spring and hip-spring of these corsets. If this does not make sense to you, I recommend going back and refreshing yourself on these points.
This is important because corsets don't have ease the way that other clothes do – for the most, part they're not supposed to stretch. In fact, corsets can be said to have what's called "negative ease" (instead of your body manipulating the clothing around you, the clothing instead manipulates your body).
I take my measurements to the closest cm (or in this specific case, the closest half-inch). Bodies are squishy though, so there is an acceptable range for the corsets I wear – especially if the corset is designed to have a small gap in the back instead of being worn completely closed (many corset makers draft their pieces to have a 2″ gap in the back, so I accommodate for this in my regular range). For the upper range, this is the maximum measurement I can wear before the corset starts to look visibly baggy on me (despite wearing jeans, poofy clothing underneath etc. that fill out the space).
Now let's go hypothetical corset-shopping!
The waist of Corset A is 22″. As an experienced corset wearer, I already know that I can wear a size 22" corset – it's a 6" reduction, which is fine for me. A corset is supposed to compress the waist, but not the ribs and hips.
But the underbust measurement of Corset A is far too small for me! On a good day, I can perhaps tighten the top edge of a corset to 28" but it's not comfortable for me. This corset has an underbust of 26". No matter how much I try, it's not likely that the top edge of the corset will ever close on me, and I can't expect it to stretch out because corsets aren't supposed to stretch. It will likely cause muffin top/ flesh spillover, and if I pull it too tight then it may hinder my breathing. This is NOT supposed to happen with a well-fitting corset, so this corset is not right for me.
The hips are a little small as well, but as it's only 1 inch smaller than my natural hips, I will be able to wear it with a small gap in the back and it would still look fine. If I could go up one size in Corset A, then the circumference measurements would be (underbust 28″, waist 24″, hips 34″) and would fit my body much better, albeit not perfectly.
But it's also important to look at the length as well! Corset A is 2 inches longer than my own torso. I would probably be able to wear it fine when I'm standing up, but if I sit down, then the top of the corset may push up on my bust uncomfortably, or the bottom of the corset will dig into my lap – it's probably best to just pass on this corset altogether.
This corset would fit reasonably well in the underbust and waist. If I try to close it all the way, it may create a tiny bit of muffin top, but it won't be that uncomfortable on me. However the hips of the corset (being 30") is too small for my own iliac measurement of 33". Knowing my own body, trying to wear this corset closed will likely result in my hips feeling very pinched and they may begin to hurt or go numb.
I can tell from looking at the length of this corset (7″ tall) that it's more of a cincher. It's 4" shorter than my own torso. I don't have a protruding tummy so wearing a short corset is not a huge issue for me, but if you have any lower-tummy pooch or a pendulous abdomen, then you may want to bypass this corset and try a longer one that you know will hold in your tummy better. I explain why you may want a longline corset for low tummies in this video.
Here is Corset C except a size 22″ instead of size 24″, and it looks like we hit the jackpot! Here is a standard sized corset that fits my natural measurements reasonably well in all four areas. If, however, I have no desire to go down a size and make my waist smaller, then I will need to find a different corset that is less curvy, and my search will continue.
When you're shopping for an OTR corset, read everything you can on the website. Look for a size chart or fitting notes; and if you don't see it, then email and ASK customer service if they have the proportions of the corset you're looking to buy! Be sure to check out my Corset Dimensions Directory, where I have measured almost all of the standard sized corsets I've tried and logged their measurements so you can do this same fitting practice: use your own natural measurements, and compare them to the corset's measurements. Try to find a brand and size that fits your ribs and hips within one inch!
I hope these case studies showed you how important it is to know the underbust, waist, and hip circumference measurements, as well as the length of the corset. In part 3 of this mini series, I will show you my own method of fairly precisely measuring my corsets – you can use this method to corsets that you own as well, and we can share sizing information with one another in the Lace-Base.
Huge fan! Thanks for all your great information.
I've been using the Orchard Corset CS-426 long for a few months. My uncorsetted dimensions are 41, 40.5, 46 and with the corset 41.5, 36, 47.5.
The bottle neck dimension for me is around the rib cage. Mine is quite massive and at 36″ I experience some pain at my ribs. Not the sides, rather the crests right below my breasts. Poking around I feel that I have another inch or two at least that I could cinch at the waist but currently at 36″ I'm starting to bow the bones at the back inwards at my waist.
I'm looking at purchasing my next corset but don't want to go custom until I get closer to what I think will be my final corsetted size. I've looked at the Timeless Trends Gemini Conical. It has a generous 8″ rib spring but I'm concerned that the hip spring will be too generous.
Do you think the Gemini would work for me or is there another company/style that offers the larger rib spring and moderate hip spring that would work better?
Thanks so much for your time, expertise, and positive promotion of corsets!
PS I'm in Canada so would prefer a North American online retailer.
Hi Lisa, if you were to get the Gemini, I would have normally recommended a size 32″ for you in the cupped rib (although that's quite a dramatic waist reduction). If you felt like it, the corset could be laced with a "V" shaped gap to pull the hips in – but you're right, any larger size in the Gemini would be likely too big around the hips on your body. We are coming out with a short-hipped Gemini corset soon that won't require such full hips to fit properly, but the factory is running a bit behind so they won't be ready for a couple of months yet.
Hi Elizabeth, I have a measuring tutorial and contact form on this page, if you leave your measurements, I will be able to tell you which style and size of corset will fit you best. Alternatively if you would like to know about any brand that will fit your measurements, check out the Corset Database which is completely free for everyone.
Hi Kae, you might do well with a corset that has expandable hip ties! There are a few brands that have styles like these, here is a gallery I made – you can adjust the hips independently of the waist, and they work very well for people who were naturally blessed with a prominent hip spring!
I am looking to reduce my waist to create a more feminine figure, my measurements are chest 35″' natural waist 31″, hip (iliac crest) 34″ and hip widest 36″ torso is 11″. I would like to train down 3″ ideally and would like to know which product would be best to achieve this.
Hi Helen, since your ribcage and your high hip are nearly the same size, and your torso is long, you might be able to fit the longline hourglass corsets found on this page. The size 28 would probably come close to lacing closed in the back, while the size 26″ would leave a gap in the back in case your measurements fluctuate or you plan to combine waist training with weight loss.
Hey Lucy I purchased my first corset with info from your site and very happy with it but it was not intended for waist training so now that I am interested in one for waist training I'm really struggling to find something that fits my body type. I checked out your corset dimensions directory and still uncertain so was wondering if you could guide me a bit.
My current measurements are underbust 30 waist 25 high hip 30 lower hip 35 torso length 9.5 My issue with current 22″ underbust from timeless trends is that the corset would probably close at the waist but pinching at the hips won't allow my to go tighter and upper ribcage feels too tight.
I think my issue is that even though I have a 10″ difference between waist and hips my build is athletic not curvy but abs are not hard and defined so waist is very cinchable. I've cinched it down to 23″ easily in a shapewear corset because the flexiboning in those accommodated my ribs and hips more. So I guess my question is what brands are good for curvy waist athletic body types with wider ribs/lat muscles? Was considering the Restyle wide hips or the Isabella Josephine but just so confused at this point about fit.
Thanks in advance for your advice and tips and great videos too.
Hi mneave, I just sent you an email.
Hi Elena, the sheer (cabaret) fabric was nice for summertime, but I was gentle with it and didn't want to pull it too tightly, just in case. So if you're looking for something you can wear on a daily basis, I'd probably go with silk (the satin is polyester based; at least the silk will be all-natural).

Based on the testimony of 833 Eritreans in exile, the U.N. commission also found that mass detainment and enforced disappearance are wielded as tools of control over the population, often in an arbitrary manner that flouts international law. In 2015, thousands of Eritrean prisoners of conscience, including politicians, journalists and practitioners of unauthorized religions,continued to be imprisoned without charge or trial. In a testimony to the commission, a former detainee detailed the horror of incarceration in Eritrea: "There is a saying in prison: If you scream, only the sea will hear you." The report did not specify individuals responsible for ongoing crimes, but indicated that they operate within the military, National Security Office, ruling party and the highest echelons of government.
In light of these appalling human rights abuses, referring Eritrea to the International Criminal Court (ICC) is crucial given the country's virtually nonexistent rule of law. The nation has no functioning judiciary, national assembly or civil society; opposition to the ruling People's Front for Democracy and Justice Party is prohibited; and the Constitution of 1997, which established democratic institutions, has never been enforced. The vacuum created by this lack of a coherent legal foundation generates a climate of impunity for human rights abuses, one incapable of protecting citizens and holding perpetrators accountable for their actions.
Eritrea's human rights record is not merely a domestic issue. The regime's continued disrespect for human life poses an imminent threat to international peace and security through its role in the ongoing refugee crisis. The horrifying violence countless Eritreans face on a daily basis is a powerful force driving close to 5,000 citizens to flee the nation each month, contributing to a global humanitarian emergency. In 2015, Eritreans comprised the third-largest nationality after Syrians, Iraqis and Afghans undertaking the dangerous journey in search of asylum and safety. The weight of the ICC's authority is urgently needed to ensure the protection of the Eritrean people and to stem this alarming flow of refugees.
As Eritrea is not a state party to the ICC, the tribunal can only exercise jurisdiction over crimes committed in Eritrea if the nation ratifies the Rome Statute, or if the U.N. Security Council refers the situation to the court. The Security Council must treat Eritrea's serious human rights abuses as the atrocities they are by referring the country to the ICC. In doing so, it can ensure those responsible for these crimes are prosecuted to the fullest extent.
International mechanisms set in place by the Security Council and the ICC can play a pivotal role in ensuring the victims of the Eritrean government's heinous abuses have their voices heard. No population should be forced to live in an atmosphere of fear while its oppressors are given broad latitude in their actions without facing consequences. Eritrea's human rights abuses are still occurring today, and they must not slip through the cracks of global attention when they should be instead condemned and prosecuted for what they are: deliberate, systematic violations of fundamental humanity.
According to the oppressed Eritrean peouple this regime must go to the end.

I am sitting up in bed with my computer on my lap, a cup of freshly brewed steaming coffee next to me on the night table, my pooch Orchid snoring softly beside me with the sun streaming in from the East. Of course, my ultimate concierge is next to me reading the Wall Street Journal and listening to the news. I stare at my husband, pooch and the stunning huge high rises outside our window on a beautiful sunny day, Sunday, January 1, 2017, and I am filled with optimism, gratitude and excitement.
"I am so busy, I am dizzy," I think to myself, smiling.
At my stage of life, to be in hustle and bustle mode is wonderfully empowering. I think to myself... I am thankful that I OWN my mom's true grit.
I am thinking of my web site, HoneyGood.com, the girls who work with me -- Carolyn, Johanna, Susan and Sarah -- the daily ups and downs of running a once-upon-a-time hobby that turned into a business, my personal life consisting of my ultimate concierge, my pooch Orchid, our children and 24 grands, a huge and demanding social life that includes, friendships, travel, charities and business and my personal time ...manicures, shopping, hair dresser, returns, etc. etc. etc. And, my alone time with my husband, Sheldon Good.
I am revamping my website for you, dear readers. This has been an ongoing endeavor for the last five months. The baby will be born at the end of the sixth month and show her face to you on February 1, 2017.
A web site has to sit on a property. I have chosen a company called Word Press, a publishing software and content management system. It allows architects and decorators to create a wide array of themes called plug-ins; a piece of software that provides the group of functions every site needs, for example the content you read and widgets that provide design and structure to the site.
As in traditional architecture, the architect of a website, has to focus on the owner and her requirements. In planning a new home, an architect listens to the owner's needs because it is her job to make certain there is a beautiful flow throughout her home. The same rules for a website.
Valeria is my website architect. She had to pay attention to my personality, my way of expressing myself in content, you -- the readers who enter my space -- a business plan, the organization of my content so you, my readers, can navigate without confusion, have a positive experience finding the content easily and on and on.
Valeria was able to pick up on my personality and yours better than a shrink or "a stretch," as my ultimate concierge, calls a psychiatrist! Valeria's job as the architect of HoneyGood.com is critical and priority #1.
My decorator's name is Angela. She is an artist. Her job is to design my new website. She has redesigned the new Honey Good logo and the style and layout of all the images you will see.
She and I will pick the print you read (the font) and introduce colors I choose for my website and logo. When you see the way a page looks it will be my taste with Angela's guidance. The decorator's job is to pick up on my style and decorate the new updated site of HoneyGood.com.
This is not to say that there are times I want to collapse and do nothing. I do. But I always pick myself up because I've got my mom in me: I OWN her true grit.

Louis Pergaud (22 de Janeiro de 1882 - 8 de Abril de 1915) foi um escritor  e soldado francês, sua obra mais famosa é "A guerra dos botões", escrita em 1912. Em 1915 foi morto enquanto servia ao exército francês na Primeira guerra mundial.

Infância
Teve sua infância na cidade de Landresse, ao leste da França, próximo à fronteira com a Suíça, cidade conhecida pela suas tradições rurais que se mantém vivas até hoje.

Trabalhos
Seu primeiro trabalho foi publicado em 1910, e foi seguido por um livro de poesias e histórias curtas chamado De Goupil à Margot. No mesmo ano, que venceu o Prêmio Goncourt. O seu trabalho incidiu sobre as semelhanças entre o amoral referente aos instintos animais com o imoral dos seres humanos, uma atitude em sombra de dúvidas orientada por seu fervoroso anti-militarismo, uma atitude que ele desenvolveu no Serviço Nacional, em 1902. Em 1911 a sua primeira coleção de pequenas histórias sobre animais, La Revanche du Corbeau apareceu, seguido do romance Le Roman de Miraut tratando do mesmo tema. Ele escreveu muitas outras histórias sobre o reino animal, que seriam publicadas postumamente.

Influências
A guerra dos botões assume declaradamente o exemplo de Rabelais, um escritor brincalhão e desbocado que gozava todo mundo, mas especialmente os hipócritas. Pergaud dá até mesmo ares de majestade a Rabelais chamando-o de "François I". No prefácio de "A guerra dos botões" Pergaud diz:

"Aquele que se diverte lendo Rabelais, o grande e verdadeiro gênio francês, acolherá, acredito, com prazer, este livro que, apesar de seu título, não é para criancinhas nem para mocinhas."

Morte
No fim, como que uma irônia, um pacifista, dotado de sentimentos anti-militares, acabou por ser morto no dia 8 de abril de 1915, juntamente com outros de seus compatriotas que assim como ele já se encontravam feridos.

People are interested in the Bird scooters because they appeared overnight without any warning, Belt said.
69 percent of respondents were favorable or very favorable of the scooters, while 11 percent were neutral and 20 percent were unfavorable or very unfavorable.
60 percent of respondents have ridden a scooter, with 72 percent reporting a more favorable opinion of the scooters after riding them. People who have ridden them several times have a more positive view of the scooters.
88 percent of the 1,381 respondents with favorable or neutral opinions of scooters thought they improved the connectivity between downtown and surrounding neighborhoods; 79 percent liked that the scooters offered an "emission-free transportation alternative." Nearly 80 percent of that same group said the scooters were fun, and 75 percent said they added to Raleigh's "cool" factor.
Bird didn't coordinate with the city to launch in Raleigh and is known for appearing without warning or permission in cities throughout the country. Raleigh leaders asked the city's transportation department to come up with rules to regulate the scooters and then said the scooters have to comply with those regulations within 60 days or face being banned.

Pinterest is no longer just for creating your secret wedding board, or collecting cool DIY crafts that you will never actually try in real life (guilty). Pinterest is a great way to establish your company and brand as the authority in your industry. You can expand your reach and get your product in front of millions of eyeballs, using quality images and carefully crafted captions. Pinterest allows for higher traffic to your website, because all pins must link to somewhere. And if you think it's only women who are using it, you are sorely mistaken. Comscore reported that one third of all Pinterest sign ups are men. Any business can take advantage of Pinterest's highly active audience of over 70 million users, and here are a few tips to get you started.
When creating your pins, images that are colorful, descriptive, and high resolution will be re-pinned much more frequently. Vertical pins are also a crowd pleaser, partially because of the way users scroll, and because 75% of Pinterest usage takes place on mobile. Hubspot recommends using pins that are about 736 pixels wide with a minimum width of 300 pixels.
Adding rich pins to your repertoire will help your strategy as well. These kind of pins give users more information about your product or service. Product pins with pricing information included, for example, get 36% more likes than those without, according to Shopify. Other kinds of rich pins include recipes or articles, and these kinds of pins make it that much easier for viewers to purchase your product.
You can do this in a subtle way that still tells your audience what their next step should be. This will help explain to customers why they should care about your pin, and where to go next. According to Brandon Gaile, pins with a call to action showed 80% more engagement than those without. That's a statistic that no one can ignore.
If you're not a graphic designer, don't stress. You can create beautiful graphics for free on a variety of sites, including Canva, which is my personal favorite. Many of their layouts and elements are free of charge, and they make it about as simple as Microsoft Paint (if anyone remembers spending hours using Paint before high speed Internet was the norm, you're cool!).
Like any social platform, you'll want to continue to regularly engage and chat with your community; all social strategies should include two way conversations. Be sure to reach out and like, repin, and comment on your follower's pins. You can dedicate a board specifically for your favorite follower's pins, showing them that you're listening to them, and you care about what they care about. You can also add a Pin It button to your website or blog, so users can pin whatever they see on your site, which will in turn link back to your webpage once they pin.
The beautiful thing about Pinterest is that once your content is out there, it'll never really fade away. There's Twitter, where your tweets disappear in minutes (even if you get re-tweeted regularly, the visibility of tweets fade pretty quickly). Facebook has introduced the "save this post" option, which is pretty cool, but when's the last time you looked back at your saved posts? This is where Pinterest marketing continues to give back to businesses.
Say you run a promoted pin campaign and you get 11 repins. You might not think this is a great return on investment, but consider how many eyes saw those 11 repins. And those eyeballs may repin to their own boards, and so on and so on. As long as your content is evergreen and valuable for long periods of time, your content will continue to be pinworthy, and your hard work designing and creating such beautiful pins will pay off handsomely.
