Digital marketing is the backbone of your marketing efforts. It gives you the opportunity to put your business in front of the right customers, boost your brand awareness, and convert your leads into customers.
However, digital marketing is not only about building a site and opening a few social media profiles.
To harness its full potential, you need to have a solid strategy to back you up.
For any digital marketer, it is absolutely crucial that they know who their target customers are. The online marketing landscape has become extremely fierce and you need to find a way to reach out to the right people. And, this is possible only if you know who those people are. Not only does this information tell you who your audiences are, but also lets you focus on the channels they use and on the content that resonates with them.
The most effective way to understand your customer base is to create buyer personas. Include as many details about them as possible. Start with their demographics, such as their age, salary, location, education, and family. Research them and learn more about their major challenges, problems, fears, values, and preferences. Most importantly, check them online and try to understand what brand messaging speaks to them.
Target audience segmentation is the backbone of your campaign. Once you set it, you can move forward with choosing the right tactics for your digital marketing strategy. Here are a few ideas that may help you.
Content marketing is the foundation of your digital marketing presence. It gives you the opportunity to prove how credible you are. Great content engages your audiences, educates them, amuses them, and inspires them to make a purchase. Most importantly, it makes your site more visible on Google and earns you loads of highly authoritative backlinks.
Sure, you need to mind what you publish on your blog. If it's an article, then make it longer. Lengthy content of over 3000 words performs better in the SERPs. That's logical, as long-form content gives you more opportunities to insert your keywords subtly and provide more valuable facts. You should also experiment with the types of content. In addition to articles, turn to easy-to-follow infographics, converting videos, and interactive quizzes.
Email marketing still generates a strong return on investment. Stats say that, for every $1 you spend on email marketing, you will achieve about $32 in return. Given these facts, it's not surprising that almost 90% of marketers choose email marketing as a main lead generation tactic.
Start your email marketing campaign by building a solid mailing list. Make sure you include simple email subscription forms on your site and other online channels. Provide effective lead magnets, such as eBooks, guides, and checklists that will intrigue your target customers and inspire them to leave you their email addresses. Hosting giveaways and providing free products may also be a great way to boost your email list.
Finally, you need to invest in a solid email automation platform. I've tried out different tools, but the intelligent features MailChimp and Constant Contact offer won my heart.
When talking about guest blogging, we usually focus on its benefits for your SEO efforts. Yes, backlinks are still one of the most important ranking signals. And, yes, guest blogging is the most effective way to build spam-free and organic links, but there is more to it than that. In the words of digital marketing company Online Marketing Gurus- "when it comes to backlinks, think quality over quantity".
Namely, contributing to authoritative blogs in your niche and mainstream media like HuffPost or Entrepreneur will also help you position yourself as an authoritative source of information and build a solid personal brand.
Just like I mentioned when I discussed content marketing, you need to focus on the quality of content you publish on these sites. Most importantly, you need to find highly authoritative sites to publish this content on.
As for finding the right sites in your niche and scraping email addresses, you can always start with a simple Google search and its search operators. Sure, you can always invest in the right tool and automate email scraping and link building processes.
Your site is the backbone of your online presence. It tells your visitors how reliable you are and gets them to choose you over your competitors. However, if it doesn't appear high in the SERPs, it may go unnoticed.
For starters, invest more in your keyword research. Google's Keyword Planner could be a great starting point for you. Some other great keyword research tools are Soovle, Ahrefs Keyword Explorer, KeywordTool.io, Moz Keyword Explorer, and SEMrush.
Q&A sites, Google's suggestions, Google Trends, and LSIGraph are also great tools that let you understand search intent and target great long-tail and conversational keywords.
When starting off, it's important to participate in relevant online discussions.
Start from social networks. Use social media monitoring tools like Mention to track your major keywords and brand mentions on social and participate in customer conversations. This is a great opportunity to put yourself in front of the right people and take customer conversations to the next level.
You could also join relevant Facebook groups, where like-minded users share their opinions. Now, as moderators tend to remove all spammy content (and people), you need to build trust with users and leave links to your content only when they really make sense.
The same goes for industry-specific forums, Q&A sites, and leaving comments on authoritative sites in your niche. Writing spammy comments will get you nowhere. To get online users to click on the link you provide, your questions need to be valuable and informative.


Split holidays take you to Croatia's second largest city. Lying on a peninsula, north of Dubrovnik on the eastern shores of the Adriatic Sea, this historic city and the Dalmatia region is a popular tourist destination. It is a good choice for those seeking to combine a cultural visit with time spent relaxing on the beach. Although there is a city beach which is shingle and several rocky coves, if you want sand you can take the short ferry trip to the beautiful beaches of the Dalmation Islands. Split has a long history and is a fascinating city. It is a World Heritage Site with many fine buildings and places of interest. Founded by the Romans in the fourth century, the most iconic site is the remains of the palace built in the name of Emperor Diocletian and the place to which he spent his retirement. The palace is still used today and you can sit among the colonnades and marble squares, enjoying a coffee while contemplating the wonders of the past. The old town and the port are built around the palace. The city has a plethora of museums and galleries, and is a great shopping centre.
Split has many fine hotels and apartments providing a range of accommodation that caters for most budgets. Service is very good. Numerous restaurants serve a wide variety of cuisine that satisfies most tastes and pockets. You can find everything from cordon bleu to fast foods, and from local fare to international dishes. Nightlife in the city is lively, but evenings are short with most venues closing at midnight. The coastal bars and discos remain open into the early hours of the morning.
Low cost Split holidays can be visited at any time of year. The climate gives hot, dry summers and fairly mild, wet winters. Many visitors choose it as a city break outside the more popular summer season. Temperatures reach thirty in the height of summer and rarely dip below ten degrees in the middle of winter. Several low cost airlines fly direct to Split from regional airports. You can check on the Cheekytrip website for the availabilty of holidays from your local airport.
We all like a bargain but finding the best Split deal can take an age. At Cheekytrip, we can save you both time and money.

Q: Upload base64 image to .NET webservice and convert it there I have a function that sends data through data:JSON.stringify(formdata)using POST to a remove .NET webservice. I have no problem this far. What I want to do it to add also add a another value to the formdata JSON that will hold a base64 image data and send it to the server, and there I will convert it back to a JPEG image.
How can I so that? I already have a preview function that created a preview, but also create a base64 image:
function previewFile() {
    var preview = document.querySelector('.uploadimage');
    var file = document.querySelector('input[type=file]').files[0];
    var reader = new FileReader();

    reader.addEventListener("load", function () {
        preview.src = reader.result;
    }, false);

    if (file) {
        reader.readAsDataURL(file);
    }
}

I see many question people asking how to upload image to the server. I want to stay with the current configuration but just pass the base64 image data to the server as a string. I see many developers struggling with that, and most of them just engine up creating a form in javascript and submitting like that.

A: Here is a recent way I did this:
string base64 = base64string.Substring(base64string.IndexOf(',') + 1);
byte[] imageData = Convert.FromBase64String(base64);
Image img;
using (var ms = new MemoryStream(imageData, 0, imageData.Length)) {
img = Image.FromStream(ms, true);

You will need:
using System.Drawing;

OR to simply convert to a jpg, use this:
File.WriteAllBytes("image.jpeg", Convert.FromBase64String(base64));

For sending the data I use the following JS:
function sendImage() {
    if (this.files && this.files[0]) {
        var FR = new FileReader();
        FR.onload = function (e) {
            $("#imgImage").attr("src", e.target.result); //show a preview
            //send e.target.result as a string to your webservice
        };
        FR.readAsDataURL(this.files[0]);
    }
}

I use this event to listen for uploaded files:
document.getElementById("fileid").addEventListener("change", sendImage, false);

And the front end:
<input type="file" id="fileid" />

Jerry Lee Lewis 'The Killer' R.I.P.
Rock 'n' roll pioneer Jerry Lee Lewis, known as 'The Killer,' dies
By Bill Trott
(Reuters) -American rock pioneer Jerry Lee Lewis,
https://www.the-sun.com/news/6536726/jerry-lee-lewis-singer-still-alive-death-hoax/
who was torn between his Bible-thumping upbringing and his desire to make hell-raising rock 'n' roll with hits such as "Great Balls of Fire" and "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On," has died at the age of 87.
Lewis passed away from natural causes at his home in Desoto County, Mississippi, with his wife, Judith, by his side, his publicist said. The musician had been ill in recent years and suffered a stroke in 2019.
Like Chuck Berry's guitar, Lewis' piano was essential in shaping rock 'n' roll in the mid-1950s. He was part of the dazzling Sun Records talent pool in Memphis, Tennessee, that included Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Roy Orbison. Lewis outlived them all.
Lewis, also known by the nickname "The Killer", was one of the first performers inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in 1986 and was so influential that when John Lennon met him backstage at a show in Los Angeles, the Beatle dropped to his knees and kissed Lewis' feet.
Lewis filled his albums not only with ground-breaking rock but with gospel, country and rhythm and blues such as "Me and Bobby McGee" and "To Make Love Sweeter for You" as he endured a life often filled with alcohol, drugs and tragedy. His music was sometimes overshadowed by scandals – including his marriage to his 13-year-old cousin Myra in 1957.
In his prime, he performed with daring, originality and a lewd wild-man stage demeanor that thrilled his young fans as much as it agitated their parents. Typically, Lewis would kick away his piano bench and bang the keyboard with his foot while his long wavy blond hair flopped in his face.
According to legend, Lewis was once so upset that Chuck Berry had been chosen to close a show over him that he finished his set with a move that was hard to top – setting the piano on fire and walking off.
"I'm a rompin', stompin', piano-playing son of a bitch," Lewis once told Time magazine in his Louisiana drawl. "A mean son of a bitch. But a great son of a bitch."
FAMOUS COUSINS
Lewis was born Sept. 29, 1935, in Ferriday, Louisiana, and grew up poor with two cousins also destined for fame – television evangelist Jimmy Swaggart and country singer Mickey Gilley.
He became interested in the piano at age 4 and by 10 was sneaking in to roadhouses to hear blues performers. He absorbed a variety of musical influences, especially the Jimmie Rodgers records that belonged to his father, a farmer who went to prison for bootlegging.
Lewis' family attended the Assembly of God church and his mother ensured he was thoroughly informed about the evils of liquor, honky-tonks and promiscuity. But Lewis was intent on experiencing them first hand and began playing piano in bars while still a teenager. His mother, upset by the idea of her son performing the devil's music, sent him to a Bible college in Texas.
It turned out to be a brief stay, with Lewis reportedly being dismissed from the school for playing a boogie-woogie version of "My God Is Real" during an assembly. The incident showed the dichotomy that Lewis had to live with.
"The man is tortured," Myra Lewis told People magazine. "Jerry Lee thinks that Jerry Lee is too wicked to be saved."
As Lewis himself once put it, "I'm dragging the audience to hell with me."
MAKING IT IN MEMPHIS
Lewis had a son and was on his second marriage before he turned 20, even though he had not divorced his first wife. He was determined to be a musician and made his way to Memphis.
In 1957 he recorded two rollicking chart-topping hits for Sun – "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" and "Great Balls of Fire," which he had been reluctant to record because he considered it blasphemous – that helped define early rock 'n' roll. Lewis quickly followed with more hits – "You Win Again," "Breathless" and "High School Confidential."
His career came to a halt during a 1958 tour of Britain. Journalists discovered Lewis was now married to Myra, the daughter of his bass player, who not only was 13 years old but also was his cousin. News coverage was so intensely negative that the tour was called off.
Back in the United States, Lewis' career was not revived until he shifted genres and recorded country hits such as "Another Place, Another Time," "What's Made Milwaukee Famous (Has Made a Loser Out of Me)" and "She Even Woke Me Up to Say Goodbye."
Lewis' string of hits was matched only by the tragedies in his life. His young son Steve Allen Lewis drowned in 1962 and another son, Jerry Lee Jr., died in a 1973 car accident at 19.
After a divorce from Myra in the early 1970s, he married Jaren Pate in 1971 but she drowned in 1982. They had been separated for eight years but not divorced.
After only a few months of marriage, his next wife, Shawn Michelle Stevens, was found dead of a drug overdose in their home in 1983. Eight months later he started another stormy marriage with sixth wife Kerrie McCarver that lasted 20 years before they divorced and he married his seventh wife, Judith Brown, in 2012.
GUNPLAY
In 1976 Lewis accidentally shot his bass player and that same year was arrested drunk outside Presley's Graceland mansion in Memphis with a loaded pistol, demanding to see Presley.
Lewis, who lived much of his later life on a ranch in Nesbit, Mississippi, also endured costly battles with U.S. tax officials, a nearly fatal perforated ulcer and a painkiller addiction that landed him in the Betty Ford Clinic.
In his later years he settled down but biographer Rick Bragg
https://www.thenewsstar.com/story/life/2014/10/28/jerry-lee-lewis-tells-rick-bragg-story/18067971/
recalled interviewing Lewis for his 2014 book "Jerry Lee Lewis: His Own Words."
Lewis showed Bragg the pistol he kept under his pillow in a bedroom pockmarked with bullet holes and a Bowie knife stuck in the door.
"I don't think Jerry Lee Lewis had to exaggerate his life one bit to make it interesting," Bragg told the Atlanta Constitution Journal. "He really did make Elvis cry. He really did turn over more Cadillacs than most people purchased in the state of Mississippi."
Lewis's late recordings included featured guests such as Jimmy Page, Bruce Springsteen, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Neil Young, John Fogerty, Ringo Starr and other rockers he had influenced.
In addition to wife Judith, Lewis is survived by four children, a sister and many grandchildren.

The World is Going to Hell in a Handbasket
My father, bless his heart, was fond of saying, "The world is going to hell in a handbasket." Adapting to change was difficult for him, and many others, 'back in the day'.
This month the wild fires burning out west and in Canada caused so much smoke that almost the entire United States of America was filled with smoke.
Smoke Monster Invades USA
klyq.com
There was a day when the only part of the US without smoke from the burning flames was the Southeast. This included my home state of Georgia, Florida, and parts of the North and South Carolina. Several days ago things had changed and there was a report that Atlanta was under a "smoke advisory."
Western Wildfires Smoke Creating Haze Over New England …
boston.cbslocal.com
"Smoke" has become a regular part of weather forecasts all over the land that was made for you and me.
Smoke from the West Coast wildfires has now traveled as …
Yet members of one of the two major political parties in this country (Why only two?) continue to deny there is climate change. I would expect nothing less from the Neanderthals who also continue to deny the Trumpster lost the election. This was the Russian assessment of the Trumpster published by The Guardian a couple of weeks ago: "There is a brief psychological assessment of Trump, who is described as an "impulsive, mentally unstable and unbalanced individual who suffers from an inferiority complex"." Sounds like the Republican party, does it not? It is not only climate change those in the 'Grand OLD party' deny. The report also contains this: "A report prepared by Putin's expert department recommended Moscow use "all possible force" to ensure a Trump victory." (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jul/15/kremlin-papers-appear-to-show-putins-plot-to-put-trump-in-white-house) No wonder little man Putin was grinning like the cat who ate the canary every time he was near the Trumpster.

Last week, the US Naval Research Laboratory held a very 2021 press conference, in which scientists reported a very 2021 outbreak of "smoke thunderclouds." Catastrophic wildfires, exacerbated by catastrophic climate change, had produced a rash of pyrocumulonimbus plumes over the western United States and Canada, known in the scientific vernacular as pyroCb.

I had this video where the Bruce Springsteen video now resides, but decided to put Woody, who wrote the song, down here because I wanted to include the lyrics. Many years ago during a conversation with my cousin Linda, who taught, or maybe I should say, tried to teach English to children of high school age. Because she was a decade older than was I, she knew, for obvious reasons, the songs of Woody well. Like most people cousin Linda knew only the first stanza, so she was SHOCKED when I recited the whole song, putting special emphasis on the stanza placed in bold below:
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York island
From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me
As I was walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
I saw below me that golden valley
I've roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was sounding
When the sun came shining, and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting
As I went walking I saw a sign there
And on the sign it said "No Trespassing"
But on the other side it didn't say nothing
That side was made for you and me
In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people
By the relief office I seen my people
As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking
Is this land made for you and me?
Nobody living can ever stop me
As I go walking that freedom highway
Nobody living can ever make me turn back

Copper and The Princess
The Legendary Georgia Ironman's long time ladyfriend, Pat the Princess had to undergo the scapel last week (she is fine now) which necessitated our keeping her dog, Copper, at the Fortress. He is a small dog encapsulated in a large dog body. For some reason he thinks of himself as a lap-dog. Although he is old, he is also frisky. I should be so lucky… Copper is an Australian Shepard, and supposedly the second smartest breed of dog, behind only the Golden Retriever.
Copper poked me in the eye some days ago, which was quite painful. My right eye swelled and closed immediately, with a copious amount of tears when my immune system sent out a warning to all of my macrophages to go to my right eye.
That day I did nothing other than stay in bed, getting plenty of rest, hopefully letting my body do its thing. Upon waking the next day by eye was still completely shut, and quite swollen. A couple of hours later it opened enough for me to know I still had site. I listened to the radio that day. The following day I turned on the 'puter, but the bright white background caused too much pain, so I turned it off and tried to read, but this caused another flood of tears. Later I was able to go over a few chess games from the book, "The Extreme Caro-Kann," by Alexey Bezgodov. I was well enough to read the book as long as I averted my eyes, moving them to the wooden chess board with wooden pieces.
Today I am well enough to sit here and punch and poke. So many chess blogs have ended lately that I wanted you to know why I've not posted. One of my favorites, "Old In Chess" by Steve Wrinn (http://oldinchess.blogspot.com/) has not posted since the end of July, and the "Award Winning" (easy to win when yours is the only blog nominated! Hey, I, too, will take it any way I can get it!) "The Kenilworthian" (http://kenilworthian.blogspot.com/) ended the first of September with Michael Goeller writing, "But this also seems like a good time to withdraw from the field because I am convinced that professional chess blogging has made the amateur chess blog increasingly irrelevant." Say it ain't so, Joe! Michael may be correct, but my numbers show the number of readers this year has doubled from the same time period from last year. And I have yet to win an award…
Just the short time writing this has caused a problem, so I will, hopefully, be back in a day or so, "Firing salvo's," as the Ironman is wont to say.
A tremendous live version:
Manfred Mann – Blinded by the Light
"Blinded by the Light" written and originally recorded by Bruce Springsteen 1973 off his debut album , Greetings from Asbury Park N.J
This is Manfred Mann's Earth Band version of the song off the album, The Roaring Silence, released in 1976. This is the extended version of the song and not the radio edited shorter version. The song went all the way to #1 on Billboard's charts in 1976. Please overlook my misspelled words 😉 and enjoy!!
Manfred Mann's Earth Band lineup in 1976:
Manfred Mann – keyboards, backing vocals
Colin Pattenden – bass
Dave Flett – lead guitar
Chris Hamlet Thompson – vocals, guitar
Chris Slade – drums, percussion, backing vocals

The lady accused of ordering the assault of a Taxify Driver who showed off photo of the bruises he suffered, has shared her own side of the story.
This man is just pathetic and a liar from the of hell ,he picked up my request at kolawale adekunle .,a street opposite eko bank on addo road and my destination was crumbles academy at Chevy view. he has started acting insane on our way Just because I told him it is card trip saying that he likes cash and that he is going to drop me on the road but I reminded him that politely that if he tries it I would report him to taxify because when you accept to pick a rider you ought to drop them at their destination already I was running late for my school because my class starts at 11am .
When we got there the trip which I take 700-800,sometimes, if there is traffic became 1200,I told him It couldn't be possible because it was way above the normal estimate ,in the course of the argument that he started threatening me saying he would deal with me in Lagos ,am a mad woman that he would pull the school down that he is an old killer that I don't want to pay him inviting a scene by such statement .just for questioning him about the fare increase not like I wasn't going to pay him ,brought out his phone saying he will record me and post it .,by then the security guys were already asking him to calm down that he was shouting ,.he said he will shout he will pull the building down,immediately I got 1200 trying to give it to the security to give me when he jumped at me saying never that he is a man and I have to give it to him by myself .
At that time his hands were on my throat as he held on to my dress choking me in the process my dress tore, his nails scratched my chest I screamed by then the security guys were trying to hold him to stop but he had already bruised me seriously my hands my face it was at that point one of the security guys got physical with him .mr taxify guy that was a fight between you and another man like you since you fight only women . the other security already called the estate security to take him out telling me sorry because I was crying.
I have all the evidence and witnesses because while he caused a scene shouting ,everybody at the cooking academy came out. The chefs ,the student, the workers around. The CEO arrived during that period she can attest to it because he even threatened her and the school .i even called Taxify to report the incident a lady responded to that call and was asking me for details but the background was noisy,that lady can attest To that call too. He was really high even the estate security police chased him.

Wow now this was a fun project! I had been quite some time since I have done straight up figure drawing. This project is for a little sandwich shop down in Miami, Bocaditos! The girl was requested as they needed something out of the ordinary for their logo. I'm very excited for them to launch their restaurant, and once they do I will be sure to let you know.
My wife was kind enough to pose for some of the life drawing studies. I wanted to make sure that this wasn't just an average drawing. Thus, I needed to get a live model in the studio. Thanks Love!


Why Do Teens Deal Drugs?
The question sounds simple enough, "Why do teens deal drugs?" Well, one answer is obvious, it's a job where they can make a lot of money! Or how about this one, "adults took jobs traditionally held by teens and this is one way to get even." Hm… sounds humorous on the face of it. But kids or teens dealing drugs is a serious issue and nearly entirely due to Drug Prohibition.
As a kid I delivered newspapers and baby-sat. When was the last time you saw a kid deliver a newspaper? Not long after I stopped and moved on to other jobs, adults in cars started delivering newspapers, without anywhere near the care us kids used.
One of the reasons teens deal drugs is because adults use them as proxies. If an adult is caught dealing drugs, whoa, big deal, lots of trouble and lots of prison time, and that's just the beginning. Chances are the government will make accusations that lots of property was paid for using drug profits, and they will take it away.
So this clearly points to the obvious solution: use kids to deal drugs. If a kid is caught, what happens? It depends of course, but sometimes the cops just take the drugs away and send the kid on his/her way. But even if the kid who is caught is pushed through the system and has the book thrown at him/her, punishments tend to be less than what adults receive.
Another reason teens are accused of dealing drugs is they were entrapped by the government.
Another reason teens are accused of dealing drugs is they were entrapped by someone else being used by the government to avoid a larger threatened punishment.
And generally the first reason for teen involvement in drugs are misguided people, journalists, others, and the resulting programs. Please see Ch.44 which illustrates this very well.
Drugs dealing/running/etc… in the hands of kids.
Prohibition was & is the cause of enormous growth in teen involvement.
Ask yourself this, who is another teen more likely to try drugs from? A stranger adult who tries to interest them or another teenager who is most likely flush with cash, dressed in the most expensive and cool clothes, and looked up to among the other teens?
Prohibitionists have returned to creating a toxic environment in schools.
Clearly the only obvious solution is to legalize and regulate drugs.
Calling illegal drugs "Controlled Substances" is like something from George Orwell's 1984. As long as they are illegal who controls them? Drug dealers, drug cartels, and the kids they use to deal them! Once we legalize and regulate drugs, we regain control of them. But as long as they stay illegal we do not!
Or do the kids roll over and inform on their dealers?
No one in thier right mind would use a kid as a mule. Kids will sing like birds when caught.
Here's the real reason kids are selling drugs. Because a kid just a year older sold it to them. It's a trickle down phenomenon. We like to imagine the 40 year old drug feind selling to a 10 year old but more likely they sell to those closer to their own age. Eventually as they continue in turn dealing down a couple years younger it ends up with kids. a 21 year old sells to a 19 year old who sells to a 17 year old who sells to a 16 who sells to a 15.
Sure there are creeps, but many people don't like to sell to kids. They sell to friends. Drug sales at the lowest level is a social network.
Kids were used as mules during alcohol prohibition! Kids are used as mules, lookouts, etc… today.
I think the main issue at play is the person's upbringing with regard to attitude towards cops and others in law enforcement. Without a doubt there are many places in our country where there is enormous hatred of anything resembling authority figures from the government. There is no way that teen will turn on his gang members, family members, relatives, etc… and sing like a bird. No doubt they are very well versed in all the lines to use; like a political candidate, I bet they are given dry runs on what to say if and when they're caught.
And, no doubt it is considered a badge of honor, courage, and cleverness, to either come up with a good story or take the fall for your friends. Don't forget that Jesus said there is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends.
However, due to prohibition the drug trade has exploded, so no doubt one can find a diverse spectrum of situations.
However, this essay could stand a bit of updating. Personally I'd like to not cast dispersions on the first reason I give: money! Certainly there's the potential to earn enormous sums.
And gangs are a subset of those with an overly active marketing drive.
But I am saying I am sure there have been more than a few gang members who have died while innocent, yet not innocently; but by Thug Addicts of one sort or another.
There IS NOT more honor among thieves. There is LESS honor among "thieves."
Let's take another look at this. I will look at it two ways.
1. With prohibition in place.
2. Without prohibition, but with a system of legalization and regulation.
Here's the real reason kids are selling drugs. Because a kid just a year older sold it to them. It's a trickle-down phenomenon. We like to imagine the 40 year old drug feind selling to a 10 year old but more likely they sell to those closer to their own age. Eventually as they continue in turn dealing down a couple years younger it ends up with kids. a 21 year old sells to a 19 year old who sells to a 17 year old who sells to a 16 who sells to a 15.
Privacy is guarded as much as possible.
Records are NOT kept to track sales.
Since it's all in the black market it has happened for at least 100 years.
As you have written, many who are older give drugs to those who are younger.
But I would note that there are many ways and many relationships which cause drugs to go from the older to the younger, not just the "social" one you mention.
"Fight, fight, fight! Fight, fight, fight! The Itchy & Scratchy Show!" Thug Addicts love blood and adrenaline. So too do many Men (and Women) of Lawlessness.
The public watches a huge spin-operation by those in power: politics, purses.
"Nurse your anger! Burn with fury!" the Holier-Than-Thou-Congregation and High Priests of Assigning Permanent Shame shout.
And on and on, saying we've ended the war, yet feeding the Drug War Tree & Fruit even more dollars to burn up on the altar of idols.
Until they sleep, perhaps never to arise again.
Vendors, distributors, etc… keep records of sales and shipments. They can be held liable for selling to other unlicensed companies.
Records are kept which track sales to groups and individuals. Sales do's and don'ts are regulated by an oversight body.
If a kid is found with drugs just ask him or her where he or she got them from.
At this point I'd say the kids you are thinking of, will "roll" and you can investigate further.
If the teenager (noticed how I didn't use "kid," "kid" should be used for 3rd grade and younger. IMO) does not say where he got them from, that provides a clue too.
The fact remains, where the "leakage" from the system occurs, is MUCH easier to investigate in a legalized environment.
While there are, no doubt, dubious people who are engaged in the drug trade, I feel positive there are many more who would willingly go through a licensing process so they are allowed to sell directly to customers and organizations.
1. In to the dark. Prohibition (by definition) GUARANTEES 100% leakage to the black market. End-to-end, source to customer. Overdose deaths, otherwise avoidable. Loose lips sinks ships, so Dead-men tell no tales. Gang graffiti. Violent turf protection. Intrigue. Blackmail. Monumentally gargantuanly huge profits. Govt. corruption.
2. In to the light. Legalization & Regulation allow us to control the primary sources of distribution. Legalization & Regulation allow us to hold distributors, and purchasers, accountable. Leakages from the system can be investigated much more safely.
Will Ending Prohibition Make it Easier for Children to Obtain Drugs?


is the recording project of New York based musician and multi-instrumentalist, Nate Amos. Amos is a ceaseless student of musical craft, especially as it relates to the uncharted areas of pop music experimentalism. He grew up in a musical household in Virginia and then Vermont, and spent many of his formative years in a studio environment. His highly acute ear and fascination for musical composition were imbued at an early age and have perpetually motivated his evolution as a musical thinker.
Amos' musical maturity blossomed in Chicago, where he would forge important relationships and leave an indelible mark on the city's burgeoning DIY community. In Chicago, Amos released music as Opposites and This is Lorelei, engineered and mastered numerous albums, collaborated as a musician on multiple projects, and curated once thriving online DIY label Grandpa Bay. In 2016, he moved to New York City where he is currently the producer of dance pop duo Water From Your Eyes and a contributing musician for indie band Thanks For Coming.
This is Lorelei is a home base for Amos' hyperactive musical mind, where he experiments and explores sound with a nearly academic vigor. Amos writes, performs, engineers, mixes, and masters every aspect of each release. What began as a more straightforward writing project in Chicago has evolved with the ever-expanding toolbox of Amos' compositional abilities, and has taken a turn into a highly intimate deconstruction of pop music. This is Lorelei is a musical self-study that Amos enters as a songwriter and emerges from as a composer.

Q: Matlab script a(n)=a (n-1)+a (n-2) How I make a script that check that my matrix do this condition? Also, how I get back the numbers of the rows and columns that do the condition?
Tnx

A: With n do you mean the row number? In that case if A is your matrix of size N by M, you could do it by
%initialize vectors for the indices you want to return
rows = nan(N*M);

De voordeelregel loonheffing was een regeling binnen de Nederlandse Wet op de loonbelasting die per 1 januari 2016 is komen te vervallen.

In de Wet op de loonbelasting was er loonheffing tegen tijdvaktabel en loonheffing tegen bijzonder tarief. Brutobeloningen (kolom 6 van de fiscale loonstaat) die in de regel slechts eenmaal of eenmaal per jaar worden toegekend worden belast volgens de loonheffingstabel voor bijzondere beloningen. Voorbeelden hiervan zijn: vakantietoeslag, eindejaarsuitkering, 13e maand, bonussen en dergelijke. Ook overwerk is in de regel tegen bijzonder tarief.

Wat deed de voordeelregel?
De bijzondere beloning werd opgeteld bij het normale loon (salaris e.d.). Hierdoor ontstond een totaal 'loon voor loonheffing', waarna hierop de tijdvaktabel werd toegepast. De inhouding van loonheffing kan dan een lager bedrag zijn dan wanneer de loonheffing over het normale tijdvakloon en de loonheffing over de bijzondere beloning apart wordt berekend. De voordeelregel mocht (niet moet) door de werkgever worden toegepast. Deze regel stamde nog uit de tijd dat salarisberekeningen met de hand gedaan werden. Het is dus geen recht van de werknemer.

Reinvestment Fund financing is helping SUN Behavioral Health build a new psychiatric hospital in Georgetown, Delaware. The hospital will have 90 in-patient beds and offer intensive outpatient services as well as 24-hour assessment services.
Mental health problems affect a large portion of the population. Nearly 19% of adults suffer from mental illness at some time during a year and 4% suffer serious mental illness. Addiction treatment costs nationwide have been increasing 5% annually.
In 2016, SUN (Solving Unmet Needs) was awarded a Certificate of Need by Delaware's Health Resource Management Board to open a psychiatric hospital in Sussex County, DE, to address the complete lack of short-term acute psychiatric beds and the crisis in behavioral health services in the county.
Delaware estimates that in 2014 there were 7,140 adults in Sussex County who had a serious mental illness and another 32,200 were diagnosed with a depression disorder that year. In Georgetown, SUN DE is centrally located to Sussex County's population of 197,000 to meet their behavioral health needs.
This 93,170 square foot facility will make behavioral health care accessible and will alleviate stresses on local emergency rooms. Services will be available to Medicaid and uninsured patients. Dedicated treatment units and programs will address the special needs of children, seniors, women, veterans and people with addiction. At full capacity, the hospital will have 188 full-time employees.
Reinvestment Fund's financing includes participations from peer CDFIs Boston Community Capital, LISC and Opportunity Finance Network.
SUN Behavioral Health operates or is opening several other hospitals across the country, in Columbus, OH, Houston, TX, and Edgewood, KY.

Phillip Arthur Charles Lawrence Oppenheim (né le ) est un homme d'affaires britannique et ancien homme politique.

Jeunesse
Oppenheim est né à Lambeth dans le sud de Londres, en 1956. Il est le fils de l'ancienne ministre du gouvernement conservateur Sally Oppenheim.

Il fait ses études à la Harrow School, dans le nord-ouest de Londres, et à l'Oriel College, à Oxford.

Carrière politique
Oppenheim est élu de manière inattendue avec le plus grand swing lors de l'élection de 1983 comme député conservateur pour le siège travailliste sur de la vallée d'Amber. Il la représente de 1983 jusqu'à la défaite électorale aux élections générales de 1997 contre Judy Mallaber du Labour.

Pendant son séjour au Parlement, Oppenheim occupe divers postes ministériels dans les gouvernements de Margaret Thatcher et de John Major et est également le secrétaire parlementaire de Kenneth Clarke, l'ancien Chancelier de l'Échiquier. Il est connu pour son soutien au libre-échange, ainsi que pour ses opinions socialement libérales, notamment en soutenant les questions de bien-être animal et en s'opposant à la chasse au renard. En tant que ministre du Trésor, il durcit les restrictions sur les importations d'espèces menacées et introduit des allégements fiscaux sur les carburants moins polluants, notamment le GPL. En tant que ministre du Commerce, il résiste aux efforts du lobby de la fourrure pour assouplir les restrictions sur les importations de fourrure piégée. Il est également en faveur d'une Chambre des lords élue. Expert en politique commerciale, Oppenheim écrit deux livres primés (The New Masters en 1990 et Trade Wars en 1992) attaquant le protectionnisme américain et européen contre le Japon et les pays du tiers monde. Il reproche à cette politique de contribuer à la pauvreté dans le monde en développement.

Carrière dans les affaires
Avant d'entrer au Parlement, Oppenheim est un homme d'affaires, fondant une société de technologie de l'information qui est vendue à Reed Elsevier.

Après avoir quitté le Parlement en 1997, Oppenheim devient chroniqueur pour le Sunday Times et d'autres journaux. Il critique la culture de spin du nouveau Labour, ainsi que ce qu'il considère comme la vente corrompue de pairies, et le Parti conservateur pour sa dérive vers la droite.

Oppenheim est fondateur et directeur général du bar-restaurant Cubana à Londres et est reconnu pour avoir introduit des Mojitos au Royaume-Uni depuis Cuba dans les années 1990.

Il est également directeur fondateur de Waterloo Quarter, une alliance entre les entreprises et le public qui vise à améliorer Waterloo. Il négocie directement avec Cuba, important du rhum et du café et est également directeur du café Alma de Cuba , une marque de café cubaine appartenant à la Cuba Mountain Coffee Company, qui a un projet pour aider les producteurs de café de montagne à Cuba.
