Bose Developer Portal | Introducing Chuck!
Q: Tell us a bit about you! Where are you from? Have any fun facts about yourself that you want to share?
A: I'm from Boston, Massachusetts. I was actually born, graduated college and married in the city. My wife and I have two amazing sons that are super close despite being born nearly 3000 miles apart. For as long as I can remember, I've been into sound and the experience surrounding others with great sound. I've always loved movies and music, especially music from movies. Movies with great, soundtracks like Back to the Future are among my favorite.
Q: What first got you into developer relations? And what have some of your favorite developer community moments been since then?
A: My wife and I relocated out to the Bay Area so I could take a developer lead role at Yahoo! Maps. The main site was thriving then, serving tens of millions of users and we were adding great features. My team started being approached by many other properties at Yahoo! with requests to access our server and build their own version of Maps for their users.
In talking with their developers and understanding their needs, I realized the code we wrote to serve our own users could also enable other developers to deliver unique and valuable experiences to their own users. Over the next few months I changed our approach and I was able to help carve a strategy there recognizing more value in an enabling platform over just focusing on our own app.
This was also an incredible time to begin learning how to engage and enable external developers. The first "hack days" at Yahoo! were happening then and to spread the word of all the capabilities of Yahoo! Maps, other platforms and available APIs to developers, I wrote a book and started speaking at conferences. That book (Yahoo! Maps Mashups, somehow still available on Amazon.com – although 99% deprecated at this point) hit shelves the same week as our first son, Chase, was born. It was an amazing time.
Q: What brought you to Bose?
A: I've been lucky enough to spend 10+ years in a career enabling developers and working on API strategies with a variety of incredible platforms. At one time a best-kept-secret, I love how most companies now are figuring out the need and ways to make their technology available to fuel innovation outside their walls.
I found the opportunity at Bose to be most compelling and the perfect time and place to build on my passion for enabling developers. Bose is a premium brand unlike any other, built on 50+ years of innovation that touches everyone. I've been fortunate to have Bose products literally surrounding me almost my entire life. My dad runs a store just north of Boston where he, my grandfather, aunt, and uncles had championed the Bose brand to customers for decades.
There's something special to do here. Recent waves of products are giving 3rd parties the chance to deliver rich experiences to millions of Bose users like never before. There's also this emerging Bose AR (audio augmented reality) platform, a wearable SDK, and promise of awesome new devices, all of which I've been following since it was previewed in March. As I've gotten to know the team behind this, all those contributing, and having tried some of the amazing things in the works, I'm pretty sure this could be the most exciting, engaging prospect for developer innovation I've ever seen (or heard)!
Q: What are some of your favorite things you've built with platforms?
A: One of the very first 'mashups' I built was an early mobile maps app. It was early 2007 and I used mobile map tiles and services from our Yahoo! maps and local APIs. It won top prize at our hack day and got the company talking seriously about mobile maps. Of course, the iPhone came out later that year and mapping with a mobile device became something we all use every day. Back then, it was a cool concept and I used searching for nearby pizza places in my demo!
Years later I was working with telephony, messaging, and voice services at s startup called Ribbit. To engage our global community, I did a lot of speaking over a several month span late in 2009. I wanted to present something that really pushed the limits of what we had. With the help of a few friends, I built this demo that featured a stereo USB microphone. The sound was fed through this C app that fed the signal as +/- channels into a UI. With this, I was able to capture stereo, process it through our API and a control a 3D image by moving around the microphone. It was cool! I used the song 'Pinball Wizard' by The Who to demo the control with music. One conference was in Brighton, UK, and I actually got to play "from Soho down to Brighton" right there.
Lately, stuff I build with my kids is most fulfilling. My younger son loves doing stuff with Minecraft and Scratch, and together we had fun putting together the BoseBuild speaker cube. My older son and I have done some more advanced stuff from prototyping motion-activated sound effects with Legos to working with pressure sensors, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi. He's constantly inventing and I love the challenge of keeping up with him!
Q: Anything else you want to share with the Bose Devs community?
A: I'm beyond excited to join an incredible team here. Company-wide, everyone seems aware and eager to help support and engage our growing community. From the latest products to the amazing devices in development, there's an eye towards enabling developers going forward. This will help us bring to developers everywhere new opportunities and technology. As we start getting the team out to conferences, hold workshops and events, I look forward to meeting all those who will help us deliver new, exciting experiences to our users.
Thanks for all those great insights, Chuck! We're really excited to have you join the community and the Bose team.

By the Week 17 of pregnancy, you are by and large quite relaxed because of your body's adjustment to the hormonal and physical changes. Now onwards, each week or month will show different symptoms in you. Your prescribed medicines can result in rashes and allergies in this week.
Do not get any over the counter medication for such problems. It should always be done after consultation with your doctor because they know how your body is coping with pregnancy week by week. Only a few over the counter medicines are harmless during pregnancy. You need to keep your blood sugar up in this condition with small snacks throughout the day.
It would also be advisable to avoid standing or even sitting at one place for long periods of time. It may make you feel like cramping. Keep changing positions frequently. If you ever feel dizzy, lie down and put your feet up.

The Art of Lying
By thefallenmonkey
Okay, then. Getting me arse back into gear with my writing prompts now that I've concluded my grand U.S. tour. I had a productive writing/revising day yesterday, though, so hopefully this will help me accomplish even more later today.
I was just watching the film The Invention of Lying last night, and, funny enough, the next prompt in Room to Write is about lies. The movie is about a world in which no one lies until one man discovers the possibilities of doing so, and it's hilarious the utterly dull impact the inability to lie has on advertising, literature, and film—fiction basically can't exist! The fact is, everyone at some point tells a lie. Our motivations for doing so can vastly vary—it might be out of kindness to spare someone's feelings, or it might spring from more ill intentions like self-gain or pridefully covering up that we are not as all that and a bag-o-chips as we'd like to think we are.
The Prompt:
In light of the different reasons why a person might choose to tell a "good" or a "bad" lie, our characters' motivations in doing so can be very telling about them, even more so than the actual lie that they speak. Bonni Goldberg tells us that we can more convincingly portray our characters' lies by considering our own motivations for lying. So, page 20 asks us to write only lies. We have these options:
1. Write silly lies, like you're confirmed to pilot the next shuttle to the moon;
2. Write more realistic lies that you have told or would actually tell to yourself and those you know;
3. Write lies you have told and reflect on why you chose not to tell the truth in that instance; and/or,
4. Write a scene in which one of your characters considers telling a lie.
This is one opportunity we have to tell lies without judgment…well, I guess I'm setting myself up for more judgment than if I were privately scrawling these in a journal vs. publishing it in cyberspace. As I'm concerned this might hold me back from revealing certain truths through lies (odd how that does make sense), I'll do a variation on #4 and share a scene in which my protagonist tells a string of little white lies, and reflect on her motivations thereafter. As in my earlier post, "Dialogues of Destiny", I'll call her "Margaret" and likewise alter my other characters' names. I will also highlight her lies in red font (that's red, right? Or is it orange? I will not tell a lie and confess that I'm color weak. Not proud of that fact).
To provide some context first, Margaret (an American) is temporarily living in her British friend Ron's London flat. They have had a recent, inexplicable falling out while standing in the doorway of her room. Afterwards, he goes out for the night with his girlfriend Wendy while Margaret takes a nap. She has just woken up and been writing in her journal when he returns, and this is what happens:
Margaret started when a dull thud on the door sharpened into three knocks of increasing conviction.
"Margaret?"
She adjusted the dimmer to fill the room in starker light, bracing, and the desk chair answered on her behalf with a creak as she lifted her weight from it to open the door. Dread permeated her heart as she stepped into the threshold with a clammy hand still on the knob. In the silence, it took several seconds before she could raise her meek eyes to his. The face she met was not the darkened, scowling countenance of the Byronic hero she'd imagined; Ron's visage, perhaps shaded in uncertainty to counteract its enhanced pallor, was otherwise unaltered.
"Are you all right?"
His tone conveyed that he had not analyzed this to remotely the same extreme Margaret had, if he'd even given it more than a second thought before embarking on his planned evening.
"Sure." Feeling short of breath and sickened by their resumed postures in the doorway, a déja-vu she could control, Margaret suggested they relocate to the living room. Averting an instinct to go to the sofa, she sat timidly on the club chair like a child sent to the Principal's office. A chair for one could be safe, personal space for her.
"Wendy was here just briefly, then we went for dinner. Pizza—seventy-five centimeters of it. I have the leftovers here for you if you like."
The simple act of kindness pressed her eyes from behind.
"Oh, that's so nice of you. I'm fine, though."
"You did eat, then?"
No. "Yeah. But thanks." Not wanting the gesture to be thought in vain, she added, "Maybe tomorrow for lunch. Cold pizza's always been a national favorite."
"What were you up to tonight?"
"Oh, I just slept. I've been really lethargic lately, and just taking advantage of the fact that I can."
"You have appeared positively knackered. I assume you've had some late nights studying. That can take its toll."
His words sound so sadly strained…forced. "To tell you the truth, I haven't been to class in over a week now. I never ditched class in high school or college, but, again, just finally realizing that I can, so I do. It's nice for a while to just be. Whatever 'being' is."
He rubbed his chin slowly between thumb and forefinger as speculation shadowed his piercing blue eyes. "Well, you're an adult. I suppose you know what you're doing."
Not likely, but she was grateful he did not get didactic on her. Still, she tried to salvage her studious reputation to an extent.
"Well, I've still met with my project-mates, so they bring me up to speed. A lot of this stuff is innate, or like something straight out of work experience, so I'm making good headway." This was half true; she had sporadically returned their phone calls and emailed bare-minimum contributions so at least their credits would't be sabotaged.
"Interesting project? Challenging?"
Ron didn't probe further, even though it was an area in which he himself had expertise; Margaret appreciated this in him, that he knew where to draw lines and let her be. To a degree.
"What were you working on just now?"
"You looked like you'd been at the desk writing. In a notebook. Documenting your stay here?"
"Mm, sort of. Just a blurb about something on my mind."
"What is on your mind, may I ask?"
Shit, I handed him the perfect segue, garnished on a platter.
She was sincerely at a loss for what had come over her, remembering all the actions, but none of the motives, and she didn't know where to even begin explaining something like that to her friend. But she owed him a try.
"Not much. I don't know." She audibly expelled air from her lungs at the point of conceding defeat. "Look…I'm…really, really sorry for my behavior earlier. I don't pretend to have an excuse. I have reasons—I was tired and starting to feel positively nauseous. But this doesn't excuse me for my rudeness. I'm sorry."
"Yeah, you were a bit of a prat, weren't you? Rather unexpected. What made you fancy laughing in hysterics like that? Only to slam the door in my face all in a paddy the next instant?"
So he had thought about it. Just took some classic British passive-aggressive beating around the bush to get down to it. "I'm really embarrassed; I'm not sure. Did Wendy hear?"
His brows elevated. "Quite clearly, yes. I believe that was the point, was it not?"
Fuck. Blame it on my hormones? "At the risk of making you uncomfortable, I think I'm approaching the end of my, you know, 'cycle,' so my estrogen levels are outta whack."
"I comprehend the feminine chemical imbalance that occurs monthly, but, really now."
This was a male attitude that never failed to royally tick off Margaret. She lifted the tail from between her legs and automatically ignited.
"What the hell is with men being incapable of understanding that! It would save your kind so much trouble if you'd just learn how to track a fucking calendar and know when to stay the hell away."
Ron laughed through his teeth at the re-flaring of her incomprehensible temper. "And what calendar is that? How am I supposed to know your menstrual cycle, pray tell?"
"You could ask." Margaret realized this was an idiotic comeback.
"Oh, yes, quite right." He affected a Californian Valley Girl accent: "So, like, Margaret…when's, like, your next period? Need to borrow a sanitary towel?"
As funny as it was hearing the phrase "sanitary towel" articulated in an American accent, she was provoked. "Well, hasn't Wendy trained you to follow hers by now? Or is she just bitchy all the time?"
"You're out of line."
"No, you're not. And according to your own earlier statement, you don't know Wendy. So where do get off insulting her, offending me in the process?"
"I was just making a joke. I apologize that the humor doesn't translate." The arrogant bitterness infusing her reply rendered the value of this apology null and void.
"What has come over you?" She had never heard his voice raised before.
"This is getting all blown out of proportion. I don't even know where it started. All I know is, I'm sorry for whatever misunderstanding is occurring right now."
"No, you're not," Ron repeated. "Margaret, in just a matter of days, you have become a completely different person."
Reflection:
And scene…well, to be honest in the midst of all these lies, that isn't really the end of the scene, I just don't want to give too much away about the plot and central conflict of the story. In any case, beyond this point, Margaret shifts gears and becomes truthful to a fault, with more jabs below the belt. But I will divulge what is hopefully apparent in this scene—Margaret's emotions have become more erratic than usual, which, in all fairness to her, is just as perplexing for her as it is for us readers. So, in her defense, when she tells Ron she isn't sure what came over her earlier when she snapped at him, she really isn't—nor does she understand why she's becoming more disorganized and irresponsible. However, she is not secure enough with herself to admit this to anyone just yet. Rather than confront the possibility that there may be something psychologically imbalanced about her, she grasps for a commonplace explanation.
What is evident earlier in the scene is Margaret's repetitious assurances that she's "fine." Her motivations in this case also relate to her insecurity; she wants to hold up a brave face rather than show further vulnerability in front of someone she respects and in whose presence she just recently embarrassed herself. This further explains why she half-lies about her coursework (she is taking a leave of absence to pursue summer professional development studies). What is also going on here, though, is what I mentioned above about Margaret's own confusion over why she's acting the way she is lately. In light of this, she is not only lying to Ron in this scene, but to herself.
When her temper begins to flare yet again, she spits out nasty comments (revealing her instability as well as tinge of jealousy over Wendy) and tries to backtrack by lying that she's sorry; while he might not have noticed her dishonesty earlier, it is at this point Ron is able to call her out on it. He knows she does not regret saying the spiteful things she does, and while it is offensive to him (and, oh boy, does it only get worse when the rest of the scene that is not posted here unfolds), his genuine concern encourages him to try to work through it with her.
One more white lie highlighted above centers on something Margaret wrote in her journal. I'm not going to reveal what that's all about, just that her deliberately vague response is likewise inhibited by her fear of revealing too much about herself that could be considered strange.
So that's that for today. I hope this dialogue comes across as natural and that the motivations underlying Margaret's little lies do indeed say something about her character, regardless of whether it makes her sympathetic or not. In closing, below is a tiny window into what the world might be like if nobody lied. As it will reveal, lying is not an altogether bad thing in certain circumstances!
Like it? Screech it!

When I started writing my spoken word poetry collection earlier this year, I had this constant nagging feeling that because of everything going on it wasn't the right time to finish it, because it didn't seem important enough.
I typed in, "Is my work important enough?" which, as smart as Google is, it couldn't possibly have an answer for.
What I was looking for was permission to complete it.
It was about heartbreak, which, compared to everything else that was going on in the world then and now...doesn't even seem like it should be in the top ten of things we should be worrying about in our society and lives. There's poverty, war, modern slavery, racism. Ridiculous laws being brought into our world by greed every single day. How will a spoken word album about heartbreak help any of this? I thought.
As a black, female, and a member of the LGBT community there's almost always something that will seem more important than fictional works. Something to protest, something I can be angry about if I want to be. There are countless injustices happening at any one time; but there comes a time where you realise that you can't always carry all of this pain on your shoulders all the time, because frankly it is exhausting.
So what I realised was that there will always be more important things I could protest or champion or fight for, yes - but to even have the energy to take those issues on, you sometimes have to create for yourself first; create things that light your soul up, that make you happy, or you'll burn out from all the stress (and that helps no one).
Heartbreak might not seem all that important to write about in relation to other issues that are going on at the moment, but to someone who is going through it right now, it is number one — the most important issue in the world.
I would never go up to someone and minimise their pain by comparing it to other issues I believed were more important, so I have vowed not to do that to my art.
It's okay if your next piece of art doesn't solve every single one of the world's problems, that's too much pressure to put on anyone. And so feeling that your art is "not important enough" is simply irrational. It's a different manifestation of the fear of creating something and wasting your time. It prevents you from doing something great before you even begin, and that's no good at all.
Time spent creating art is never wasted.
It's not your duty to analyse the thing the Universe is telling you to create. Ridiculous or serious, fiction or non fiction: your work is a bold statement about your personal freedom, the way you choose to express yourself, and your power to speak out — no matter what form it takes. And the world will always need that.
This is me, giving you permission to create the art you want — because, your latest work might be the single piece of work that changes your life.
And remember, you're not alone in these thoughts.
Everything you love today was once nothing but a doubtful idea in the mind of a neurotic creator.
It's okay to create something even if the only reason you have to do it is because your heart tells you to.
How do you know if your creative work will be important to the world? You literally, simply can't know...but this is your permission to try.
Have you ever felt that your creative work wasn't quite important enough? Let me know in the comments section below.

Tri Angle http://tri-anglerecords.com/ https://www.tinymixtapes.com/sites/default/files/Holy%20Other%20-%20Held.jpg
[Tri Angle; 2012]

It's ironic that How To Dress Well comes off so much more ominously with their covers and titles than Holy Other, when what Holy Other does with his honeyed R&B samples is so much more chilling. Where Tom Krell personalized the samples with his own vocals, however shrilly recorded, Holy Other lets these chopped spits of coo circle each other in a hopelessly lost series of passes in the pitch-black void. These voices have no song in which to make themselves whole: they are fragments that never add up. As such, Held is an album of immense contradiction. Starting with the cover image, the album can easily be seen as a musing upon the vaporous dishevelment of sanctimony and sentimentality that we know we will die with, and not the person. The union between two lovers of which these fragments once likely sang is never truly holdable. The embrace itself is only an endless loop that we play to ourselves to make the void awaiting us seem less real.
These are songs past yearning. I picture a vast rotunda swirling with bits of shredded red ribbon, dark as space itself but still somehow not black enough to obscure the shreds, winking in some failed bid at significance. There is a rhythmic center to most of the tracks and a cool sort of chillout room thing happening at a glance. But deeper immersion reveals an agitation. There used to be a face to these tortured emotions, but now they are just the flailing face of torture itself, even if there is no concrete image. The face is snapping fingers, cufflinks, high heels, hair gel, gleaming chrome, pearls, and curled lips in a scream. The face is fetish in the light and unending need when that light is taken away. Style and substance are too close for comfort, and the baseness of that comfort zone has never changed "I want someone to share my messy bed with." The absence of grace can displace but never outweigh the absence of the person.
In facing loss and aloneness, beauty takes on impractical and unwieldy forms. Held is impractical (it'll never work on the dance floor) and ultimately unwieldy in the vastness of its fragmentation. Slow as these songs are, they are jittery and anxious. They can't sit still with the listener and muse. They are all the time descending, but surreptitiously gouging themselves on parapets and balconies along the way. The album's title screams with the agony of the past tense, the unretrievable. But the music fumbles rather than drops like a stone at this absolute, perhaps no more dramatically than around the two-minute mark on "In Difference" with the beat dropping, dropping, dropping then another R&B poltergeist abruptly piping up, seeming to plead "eat my heart" with you for 30 more seconds.
At the risk of alienating potential listeners, I'd say Held is an incredibly disquieting mood record. It doesn't always feel that way, but just when you start to get cozy, something unnervingly static creeps in. It's compelling the extent to which breathy samples like these have taken on a complex life of their own in underground music: that there's still remnants of the original intention, but obscured to the point of near inanity. Holy Other has made an album that impressively struts that inanity out for a crestfall like none other. But Held is a cool record. You may wind up hearing it at a gallery or a boutique or something, but its madness and ache will seep through much more subliminally than Portishead's breakthrough record that was similarly repurposed as chic background music. Held is as sputtering as it is spartan, and as such the perfect tome to the eternal wretchedness that surrounds human need.

Dipluridae  — семейство пауков, входящее в инфраотряд Mygalomorphae. Характеризуются двумя парами лёгочных мешков и ортогнатными хелицерами. Ряд родов , включая Atrax, которые ранее были включены в это семейство, в настоящее время перенесены в семейство  Hexathelidae. Насчитывают 188 вида, объединённых в 24 рода.

Описание
Воронковые тарантулы  имеют удлинённое туловище, длина которого втрое превосходит ширину. Хелицеры умеренно длинные. Средние паутинные бородавки значительно короче, чем задние боковые бородавки, состоящих из трёх сегментов и имеющих длину, почти сравнимую с длиной брюшка. Глаза располагаются вместе, на карапасе отсутствуют волоски. Пещерные виды Masteria caeca безглазы.

Большинство видов имеют средний и мелкий размер — от 3 до 15 мм. Окрас бурый или чёрный с пятнами.

Биология
Живут в норах, вход в которые сконструирован особым способом - в виде воронки из паутины. Некоторые виды делают в норе подкладку из паутины (Diplura, Trechona, некоторые виды Linothele). Устраивают гнёзда в трещинах земли, под корой деревьев, под бревнами или в опавших листьях.

Распространение

Обитают почти повсеместно в тропиках. В основном, в Центральной и Южной Америке, также много видов обитает в австралийском регионе. Indothele найдены в Индии и Шри-Ланке . Род Ischnothele является неотропическим родом, но один вид встречается только в Индии. Несколько родов встречаются в Африке, а Thelechoris также встречаются на Мадагаскаре. Leptothele и Phyxioschema suthepium являются эндемиками Таиланда, другие виды Phyxioschema найдены в Центральной Азии. Род Masteria распространён повсеместно.

Таксономия
Семейство Dipluridae включает 26 родов:

There is no requirement for a limited partnership (LP) to send accounts to us unless The Partnerships (Accounts) Regulations 2008 (SI 569/2008), as amended by the Companies and Partnerships (Accounts and Audit) Regulations 2013, apply.
Where these regulations apply, any General Partners that are UK limited companies must attach a copy of the' partnership's accounts to the copy of their own limited company accounts that they submit for filing.
Although there are no legal requirements for most Limited partnerships (LP) to prepare and file accounts, most Limited Partnerships (LP) choose to do so as the accounts need to be prepared for the limited partners and the general partners.
This equally applies to the Private Fund Limited Partnerships (PFLPs) established under The Legislative Reform (Private Fund Limited Partnerships) Order 2017.
What do the LP Accounts include?
The LP's accounts usually include the following statements:
Statement of Financial Position (or Balance Sheet), which shows the value of assets, liabilities, and equity of the company
The company's income and expenses for the financial period is also shown by the statement of comprehensive income (or Profit and loss account)
Notes to the accounts, which provides further details on the accounts
Member's report
However, as there is no legal requirement to file the partnership accounts, the partners may choose to only produce some statements. Therefore, many choose to produce only the profit and loss account.
How can we help you with your LP Accounts?
We provide an expert service in preparing and filing Statutory Accounts for your Limited Partnership (LP). Unlike ordinary accountants, we understand the specific accounting issues faced by the property funds and the property sector in general. Therefore, the whole process would be hassle-free.
We believe that the accountants' role is beyond regular compliance while preparing accounts. We understand how each accounting option will affect your tax liability and the strategic decision. Therefore, we ensure that your accounts reflect a true & fair view while selecting the appropriate options available under an accounting standard.
Our firm deals with all sizes of LPs ranging from the ones reporting under FRS 102 to those reporting under the IFRS and the US GAAP.

First page of the Bobby Whitlock & Coco Carmel archive.
New live album from the Rock legend and his wife and musical partner CoCo Carmel. Bobby Whitlock has not lost anything since his early days with Derek & The Dominos, in fact he has gained much more. Bobby's voice is formidable as ever and his songwriting skills have not waned. Together with CoCo, they sing and play their hearts out in every performance and obviously enjoy every moment of it. CoCo is right there side by side singing Bobby's old parts and playing guitar to the Domino hits bringing her own unique style to this duo. Sliding in with amazing ease on sax playing notes unheard of, she is rock solid. Carnival includes tracks from Bobby and CoCo's Esoteric album as well as classic Derek & The Dominos tracks and a few surprise covers!
This CD is a collection treasure with Bobby and Coco supporting each other vocally , instrumentally and emotionally. Whitlock's "Roll On" has the qualities to make it a personal favorite like Bobby Charles', "Tennessee Blues" or Donnie Fritts', "We had it all". CoCo's vocals and sax on "Nobody Knows", somehow finds a groove that is down and dirty while exquisite at the same time. By the time you get to the last track, "Changing Faces", open the back door because you'll need a cool breeze.


I feel like I am stuck with my keyword research.
I am researching SEO keywords for an Australian business that specializes in tree removal and tree felling. The keywords I chose for them were "tree removal" and "tree lopper" however when I enter these into Keyword Discovery for Australia I get nothing (although "tree removal" comes up with quite a bit for global search.
These keywords best describe the business and although the tree removal operator prefers not to be called a tree lopper he is happy for me to use this term for search engine purposes. Yet when entering these keywords into Google it seems a lot of competitor sites come up. I am confused! Can you help?
In my experience, most keyword research tools (such as Keyword Discovery or WordTracker) are highly inconsistent or downright inaccurate when it comes to regional search databases.
What I would do is to use the global database when choosing the best keywords to target and then see how they go in terms of bringing you traffic. You can tweak the keywords as you go based on the response and traffic you get. I would start broad e.g. "tree removal", "tree felling" and then narrow your market based on the responses you receive e.g. "tree removal [city]" or "tree felling services".
Another way to measure your potential regional market is to set up a basic pay per click campaign using Google AdWords, targeting Australia only and targeting the keywords you wish to test. Then monitor the number of impressions that your keywords get. Note I said impressions and not clicks. Set the budget low or design your ads in a way you don't necessarily attract clicks (so it's a cheap and dirty experiment).
The number of impressions you get per week will give you a ballpark idea of how many Australian searchers are looking for those particular keywords in Google per week.

Donor Spotlight: Arielle Mohammed
It may come as a surprise, but Learning Life's most faithful and generous donor is a 23-year old recent college graduate. Her name is Arielle Mohammed.
Arielle graduated in May 2012 from Stetson University with a bachelor's degree in sociology. It is in Stetson's Department of Sociology & Anthropology that Arielle met Learning Life's founder, Paul Lachelier. Arielle took two courses with Paul – Sociological Theories, and Power & Evil – and through these courses and thereafter, they developed a friendship that endures to this day. (Per his request though, she now calls him Paul, rather than Dr. Lachelier.)
Despite her solid performance as a student, like many recent college graduates in our down economy, Arielle has struggled to find work she can love. Upon graduation, she initially worked full-time as a 7-11 sales associate. Her productivity, dependability and kindness at 7-11 recently earned her a better position as a receptionist at a dental office, where she is excited to work with a supportive administrative team.
At Stetson, Arielle worked for the university's recycling program throughout her college years, becoming a team leader in her junior and senior year. As team leader, she helped Stetson achieve third place in Spring 2011 in the RecycleMania competition involving 600 schools nationwide.
As a devout yet tolerant Catholic, Arielle volunteered with the Jewish Student Organization as she helped lead Stetson's Catholic Campus Ministry, becoming Vice-President in her junior year, and President in her senior year. In her work as a young Catholic leader, Arielle wrote letters to the imprisoned, helped fundraise for food pantries, served in soup kitchens, and traveled to Honduras to help rebuild and renovate buildings at a parochial school.
Asked why she donates monthly and generously to Learning Life, Arielle responds:
"Besides knowing Paul Lachelier for quite some time, Learning Life greatly appeals to me. I have always been drawn to learning and knowledge. Learning should not be constrained behind classroom doors. It should be free and open to all. Learning Life is bringing innovative ways of spreading knowledge, and reminding us of the importance of learning."
For all these reasons, we at Learning Life admire Arielle, are very grateful for her support, and wish her the very best in her young career.

ABOVE: David Smith, Cubi XXVII, 1965. Stainless steel, 111 3/8 x 87 3/4 x 34 inches. Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, By exchange, 1967. Photo David Heald © 2006 The Estate of David Smith/Licensed by VAGA, New York.
Smith's interest in monumentality and outdoor sculpture culminated in his final series, the Cubis, which he began in 1961 but did not turn to in earnest until 1963. For these works Smith broke with several hallmarks of his career to date, eschewing both thin linear forms and junkyard materials in favor of prefabricated, highly polished cubic, cylindrical, and rectangular elements. Nevertheless the Cubis synthesize many formal concerns from throughout Smith's career, exploring verticality to a new degree, simulating pictorial frames around open space, and articulating a delicate balance of masses. These sculptures' regular, repeated forms foreshadowed the pure geometries of Minimalism, but Smith's expressive style of construction, with its ultimate source in Cubism, continued to dominate.
Smith intended the Cubis to be displayed outdoors, and for this reason he chose to construct them in stainless steel, which he burnished to achieve maximum reflectivity. He had employed this process as early as 1957 in a number of works constructed from flat panels and thin rods; the burnishing achieved much the same ends as the overt brushstrokes Smith painted on many sculptures of the period. Used in concert with the three-dimensional elements of the Cubis, the burnished surfaces took on a new level of importance, absorbing the light and color of their surroundings in the round, and establishing an entirely new way of engaging with sculptural space. Smith continued to develop his Cubis up until his death in 1965, and in the ensuing years they have become emblematic of his varied achievements in the field of 20th-century sculpture.

Grabbers never really grabbed me as a title and I deliberately never even watched the trailer until the screening at the Hippodrome's Monster Day yesterday. The writer Kevin Lehane was there too and did a pre-show discussion/Q+A with Jon Melville. It suggested he has a healthy attitude to his craft and the film itself is one of the most genuinely entertaining and cool things I've seen in a while. He mentioned something about the main theme during the chinwag that was very funny and so true but contrary to it perhaps ruining the mood it only heightened it connecting this even more so to "Gremlins". It straddles that fine line of cool and stupid while remaining entirely engaging all the way through without ever appearing to be premeditated.
I don't want to give anything away because this - to my mind - would appeal to the hardcore demographic of this portal entirely. Like Joe Dante directing "Rockets Galore" from a script by Graham Linehan, right down to the character Paddy who channelled Dick Miller pretty perfectly across the piece. Add a rumour of "Local Hero" and away you go. The film will have an absurdly stunted cinema release on Boxing Day here in the UK. I'm HOPING it'll return to Bo'ness before it languishes in big telly hell on DVD so I can see it again on the big screen.
The disc will be available on December 31st. Grabbers is the antithesis of bollocks (not the Irish term of endearment) like Sk*fall and the fact that it was made at all suggests there are still surprises out there. And who in their right gourd wouldn't want to get drunk with Garda Lisa Nolan?
All this and a Ronnie Self tune in the score. To find out which one you'll have to see it. Or google it but fuck you if you resort to that. This is ultimately what a trip to the pictures is all about and last night we saw it in the ideal setting. Here's to the next Monster Day and all associated with it.
Grabbers never really grabbed me as a title and I...

Colonel Cathcart, as he was then, was assigned to the court of Russia just before Napoleon launched his massive assault in 1812. He attached himself to the Emperor Alexander's suite and followed the war closely as the French struggled toward Moscow and, as the remnants, suffered upon marching back in the shattering cold of the winter. Colonel Cathcart saw and recorded in this book what few believed possible - Napoleon thoroughly defeated by his own hubris and hundreds of miles of snow covered desert. He marched on toward the climactic battles for the possession of Germany in 1813, with Napoleon restricted to the boundaries of France following the bloody battle of Leipzig. Colonel Cathcart recorded all he saw at head-quarters and beyond in the field and wrote his history of the campaigns shortly before his death in 1854 in the Crimean War. Accompanying his well-written text are numerous maps of the engagements and theatres

Jovana Fey (Sophie Desmarais) is a novelist. Her first two books received positive reviews, but were a commercial failure. Her third, Don't Read This on a Plane, has just been released – an amusing, risqué chronicle of a woman's dalliances with a hundred women. Jovana hopes it will bring the success she craves.
As she attempts to check into the first hotel of her 28-day European book tour, she learns that her publisher has gone bankrupt. Penniless and stranded, she decides to continue the tour regardless, resorting to hitchhiking and couchsurfing to meet her appointments across Europe, all the while attempting to project an image of success.
Her book's provocative premise, and Jovana's reluctance to deny or acknowledge its autobiographical nature, result in significant reader and media interest. Publicity is also generated by airline passengers ignoring the book's title, and subsequently being apprehended by security.
Throughout Jovana's rough and ragged travels around Europe, she meets a wide array of characters, and has her resilience tested daily. She's forced to question her identity and values, and what she's willing to sacrifice in the pursuit of her dreams.
The_Story_Anchor
Australian filmmaker Dr Stuart McBratney has written and directed two feature films, a tv series, and around 500 tv commercials, with clients including McDonalds, Honda, Nike, Seiko, and Canon. He holds a PhD in Design from the University of Newcastle, Australia. Don't Read This on a Plane is his third feature film as writer/director/composer.
In 2012, the factual tv series Back in the Soviet Bloc was shot on location in Russia and Ukraine. The entire cast and crew consisted of two people, with Stuart functioning as as the co-director, camera operator, and sound recordist throughout the shoot.
Don't Read This on a Plane applies aspects of this production method to a drama/comedy. Fresh from traveling the world with his second feature Pop-Up, which has screened at 18 international festivals in 12 countries, Stuart and lead actress Sophie Desmarais have teamed up with a small, agile, world-class crew led by Laszlo Kun of Amazing Visuals.
They've shot the movie in some of the world's most beautiful bookstores - and the occasional library - in Budapest, Burgundy, Berlin, Venice, Porto, Maastricht, Santorini, and Ordea.
The film is a drama, with a healthy serve of comedy. Lost in Translation and Her are similar in tone – amusing and a touch wistful, but never too earnest.
Don't Read This on a Plane is currently in post-production, and will be ready for the world's eyes and ears in 2019. It will be a beautiful, funny, engaging, unpredictable film, daring to address modern relationships, and shedding light on the struggles, pleasures and absurdities of artistic passion.

Back in 2008, our Daisy Troop formed and hit the ground running. Our community project was to create, grow, maintain and educate our community on this great task. It took many conversations and lots of planning, but finally we got there!
Outside the Roosevelt School facing Wright Street is our community garden. Every year we plant vegetables and flowers for the community to enjoy. You can find beans to tomatoes, daisies to sunflowers and everything in between! Every year there is a different selection of flowers and vegetables, so you never know what you will find!
The planting was the most fun, but then comes the work! We have to constantly water the garden over the summer when no one is there. We came up with a schedule for the girls in our troop to take a week and make sure we tended to the garden. We also have the fall and spring to pull weeds and turn the soil. It's a lot of work, but it was so worth it!
To make this garden sustainable, we have passed this project onto another Troop in the school to keep the tradition going. We had a fun planting session with them and they learned the ropes of how to keep this garden growing. We know they will take great care of it, just as we did.
