If you're looking for a new room air conditioner, you might find it more difficult than you'd anticipated. There are so many different models from which to choose and so many factors to consider when comparing labels that you can become overwhelmed. With prices for room air conditioners, also called window units, ranging from under $200 to over $1000, knowing what to look for can ensure that you get the quality and capacity you need without spending more than you have to.
The first thing you'll need to consider is the window into which your new air conditioner will be mounted. The best window will be the most central one in the room, as this will allow for more even distribution of the cool air. If you have to mount the unit in a window located at a corner, be sure to look for models that will easily let you direct airflow. Once you've selected a window, make sure to get accurate measurements of the window opening. While gaps can be closed if you choose a model smaller than the window opening, buying a unit that is bigger than your available space will result in lost time and the hassle of a return.
Once you know what size unit will work for your window, you'll need to determine how powerful it needs to be. As a general rule, you want a unit that provides 20 BTUs of cooling for each square foot of living area in the room. If you live someplace that gets extremely hot, you might want a little more power. Likewise, if you live someplace with milder summers, you could get away with less power.
In addition to knowing how much cooling power you need, you also should understand how much dehumidification you'll require. If you live in a very humid climate, make sure to look for a unit that offers top-notch dehumidification. If you live in a place that is very dry, you don't need to pay more for excellent dehumidification. Many window units rely on the internal fan to control humidity. Be sure to read the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the best fan setting for your level of humidity to improve cooling and energy efficiency.
Not all window units are whisper quiet. If noise is a concern, such as in a bedroom, make sure your research includes noise ratings for any models you consider.
All air conditioners rely on filters to help remove dust and other particles from the air. Make sure that the filter is in a location that you can readily access, as cleaning or replacing the filter regularly is key to keeping your unit working its best. A clean filter also improves energy efficiency. If the filter is permanent, make sure you understand what the cleaning requirements are.
Once you've narrowed your search parameters based on your needs, there are convenience features to consider. You can choose from models with knob controls or digital ones. There are now "smart" models that can be controlled with your smartphone or even connected to other units in your home.
Most window units are easy enough to install to be simple DIY projects. Just make sure that the unit sits perfectly level in its window to keep the internal drain from leaking and to help keep the other internal parts steady and stable. If you choose a unit that is smaller than the window opening, make sure to properly seal any gaps between the unit and the window casing.
Once you get your new unit installed, there are a couple of things in addition to properly directing the airflow and keeping the filter clean that you can do to improve energy efficiency and cooling power. Make sure you don't have any heat-generating items (like a TV or lamp) too close to the unit, as the thermostat could pick up this heat, causing the unit to run overtime. Having a fan of some sort (standing fan, ceiling fan, etc.) can help distribute the cool air more evenly in larger rooms.
A room air conditioner can be a great adjunct to your central AC system or a perfect solution when whole-house central air isn't necessary.
Interested in the best rated portable air conditioners? Do your research online before buying the very first brand or model you lay your eyes on.
Awesome Ways to Connect as a Family!
Here are some ideas to help you reconnect in a meaningful way as a family!
The seemingly simple act of sharing a meal has been proven to help strengthen family bonds. While it may mean you have to leave work earlier or to schedule work for later in the evening, sitting down to dinner with your children is worth the effort. It's a chance to discuss what is going on in their lives and to answer any questions they may have. Make it an enjoyable event. Celebrate any special things your children may have done that day.
Whether it's as simple a job as replacing a washer in the bathroom faucet, or a larger job such as painting the walls of a bedroom, regardless of age there are things that your children can do to help. Just make sure to make the tasks age appropriate so they can feel a sense of accomplishment. Sharing in a repair or home improvement task is a great way to not only bond but also to teach your children skills they can use themselves when they have their own home.
A walk after dinner is a time for talking while getting some easy exercise. Children may feel more comfortable bringing up issues that may be concerning them when out of the house. You could play games such as 'I Spy', everyone taking a turn each. Stopping briefly to talk to neighbors will help instill a sense of community in your children and allow them the chance to see how you interact with other adults.
Almost everyone loves pleasant surprises, and perhaps no more so than children. If you leave for work in the morning before they get up you could leave them a 'Good Morning' note, telling them that you love them and are looking forward to seeing them at dinner, and hearing about all that has gone on in their day. Hiding a note in their lunch box is another way of providing them with a pleasant surprise and makes them feel happy and loved.
Either reading a book to your children or reading books individually while sitting in companionable silence on the couch together is a great way to connect. Choosing a book can be a shared experience. For younger children reading a bedtime story is a memory for both child and parent to treasure.
When practical take the time to drive or walk your child to school. Make the most of this time however short to be encouraging. Share your pride in their progress with them. Send them into class with a feeling of empowerment and excitement about all they will learn that day.
Unless you live a very long way from a city there are always fun things to plan and do. Sit down with your children and have them list all the things they can think of that they would like to see and do. Planned outings can be as simple as a picnic on the beach or going to get an ice cream cone at their favorite shop. There are museums to visit and many of them change their featured displays on a regular basis so don't rule out going 2 or 3 times a year. A scheduled outing gives both you and your children something to look forward to.
Tell your children about what your life was like growing up. Go through photograph albums together and explain what is happening in each photo, who the people are and where the photo was taken. Make sure that your children know about their grandparents lives too. Let them discover just how much has changed over the years and yet how many things are still the same. Instill a sense of family history in them.
The life of a teen can be incredibly hectic. Between school, sports, hobbies and spending time with their friends, sometimes it seems that all they come home for is to sleep and eat.
Seize any opportunity you can to talk to your teenage children. Teenagers have busier lifestyles than smaller children, with sports to play and outings with their friends and so it can be difficult to find a few minutes to talk. Drive them to their sports games and talk on the way. Encourage them to open up to you and share what they are feeling. This is a stressful time in a child's life and it is important that they still know you are there for them.
Today's teenagers are very aware of issues affecting their planet. Whether it be homelessness, global warming or keeping our waterways clean, your teenage child is likely interested in something that is important to the future of the planet. Find something you can both do together to make things better. You could sign up to do volunteer work together or plan your own way to have a positive impact.
Many teens play sports or have other interests and hobbies that provide them with things to do in their free time. Find a way to share one of their interests with them. If you cannot actively be involved in their interests at the very least encourage them to talk about them. Get them to help you understand what it is about that particular interest that keeps them fascinated by it. Go to their sports games as often as you can. Participate as much as possible.
While you may not be able to connect on a face-to-face basis as often as you would like modern technology such as the smartphone makes communicating with your teen as easy as sending text messages or chatting online. They may not want to add you as a friend on Social Media sites but that should not stop you from sending them a message every so often.
Teenagers spend a lot of their time outside of the home and often it is with their friends. Get to know who your child is spending time with by inviting them to bring their friends home. Let them know that they are encouraged to have social events in the home such as a movie night. Talk to your child's friends and get to know a little about each of them. Accepting your child's friends will help you connect with your child.
Make a time each day when you are available to your child. It may be just a few minutes before they go to bed, or before you leave for work. Let your child know that those few minutes or half an hour is their time to spend with you, and that you will set aside everything else to spend that time with them. If they have any concerns or need advice they will know that during their special time each day they can talk to you.
As your parents age, retire and find themselves with more free time on their hands, the potential for loneliness creeps in. Make sure to let your parents know that you are always just a phone call away and that you care about them.
If you live a long enough distance from your parents that visiting regularly is impractical make sure that you call or text them at least once a week. Encourage them to share their concerns with you and offer advice and assistance when and if you can. Let them know that you love them and that their well-being is important to you.
Just as much as your parents love to hear your voice, so too would they love to receive a phone call from their grandchildren. It doesn't have to be a long call, but encourage your kids to take the time to talk to their grandparents.
If your parents live close enough by that getting together is not a problem make one meal a week a time for you all to eat dinner together. If Mom loves to cook she may like to host dinner at her house. You could take them out for a meal once in awhile. Take turns to host the meal.
Parents often have favorite recipes that have been handed down to them by their parents and will in turn hand them down to you and your children. Choose a special dish and get together with your parents to help prepare and cook it. This is a great opportunity to talk, tell jokes, reminisce and take photographs.
There are many awesome ways to connect as a family. These are just a few. Take the time to do things together as a family.
Hi, I'm Tamra from Tampa! And this is my beautiful family. My husband Tim and I have adopted 4 kids and we are huge advocates of adoption. Join us on our family journey!

details of the markets, and assess what is
moving the numbers stop larger central banks
printing money, later in the programme we will speak to the boss
of the Royal Mint. 1100 year old country, manufacturing cash for
dozens of countries around the world.
Starbucks introduces a new dress code., dark colours and playing

text Mac get in touch. Was not the programme with the skies
above our heads. They can start getting busier. The
retail giant Amazon has agreed a deal with the UK
Government to start testing the use of drones to deliver parcels to your
front door. Heung-Min Son wants to examine how hundreds of
robotic aircraft could buzz around our skies safely. It could
eventually mean small parcels arrive at
just 30 minutes of ordering them online.
Ministers say it will pave the way for all businesses to start using
the technology in the future. It sounds like something
out of Harry Potter, thousands of parcels being flown
through the air then dropped off But drones delivering your shopping
could eventually be What this is about is working out
how to do it safely. Are we going to need
new laws, for example? And, of course, they are going to be
going over people's gardens, How can you guarantee
they won't fall out of the sky? There are going to be people
who just don't fancy the idea. we need a broader societal
discussion, not just the government and Harmison getting in a huddle for
the sake of the economy. The sky is the limit for drilling technology,
if they can convince people it is private and safe. Let's stay with
this, David Lane is a professor of autonomous systems at the University
of Edinburgh. Great to have you on the programme.
Seriously, do you honestly believe this will become a reality? You
think about the safety and air regulations this will have to get
through? It is likely to be a reality, it is
happening. Not just Harmison, Google, DHL, also in China.
Fantastic that the UK has been chosen by hammers on as the place to
come. We have the best regulatory environment. Give me a timescale,
I'm in central London, when will I get a package in 30 minutes. Not for
me to say how long it will take to adapt the regulations. It will not
be tomorrow. Quite a bit of testing there has to be done, the
technology, also the wider societal discussion with people. It strikes
me that the important thing to day was a deal with the UK Government.
Landmark agreement, drones will be able to fly out of the line of sight
of the operator. Very strict rules at the moment. That is the most
significant thing. The government has said we are paired to allow you
to do this. -- we are prepared. That is why it have come here. They
cannot do this in the US. We can win market share for this technology,
good for universities and business. I have had comments on running this
story, it is a current theme around the world, terrorists getting their
hands on drones. If they are hands on drones. If they are
permitted to fly over our heads who is to say a terrorist cannot get
hold of it and use it as a weapon? Terrorists can get hold of bull
source weapons already. Nothing new in that. Certainly security of
locations about the way the drones are
configured, how you access the software, how you drive them. All
things considered as part of the test ). These things will not be in
the streets, working for us tomorrow. I'm sure there is a
serious test programme before that happens. We appreciate your time. I
would love to see the difference between costs, drones delivery. I
guess a drone would be Cheaper. That means the driver is
gone, job wise. We will talk about that later. The Frank

stock exchange. with rival the US and Asia. Oil
prices have fallen. A three-month loan, growing concerns of the
oversupply of crude and natural gas. US oil fell 25%. 43 bucks a barrel.
Falling by 12% this year. Brent crude percent. You can buy a barrel
for $43. The lowest level since the 10th of May. Using low oil prices
would be good news for car-makers. General Motors has stalled a planned
$1 billion investment in India while assessing the strategy in the

The economy of Nepal has been thrown into turmoil again after the
resignation of Prime Minister, ahead of a no-confidence vote. Nepal is
set to get his ninth from Minister in just ten years. Alicea following
the story from Singapore. This is made more difficult, the country
trying to rebuild after the devastating earthquake. Exactly
that, a thousand people killed, they are trying to push
forward reconstruction spending. Turmoil in the government can
Nepal is one of the world's poorest economies.
You wonder whether this instability will continue to hinder the
country's progress. The Prime Minister resign ahead of a
no confidence vote. Analysts expect the instability to
continue for at least another year. We're
having two countries jostling for influence we have the Cabinet, China
and India. Geographically Nepal is in the
middle of the two. The countries want to have more say in control of
the 28 million people, as well as the fact Nepal sits on a very
significant energy route. China is the biggest investor. India the
biggest trading partner. With this resignation, India may win more
influence of the government. Thank you for staying across that. Quick
look at the numbers. Tokyo shares down for a third straight session to
date. The yen rally worrying investors. We will touch on that
later. There are US and Japanese central bank meetings, we may see
action to kick-start sluggish growth. Brent crude up, $44, down of
late. A pretty mixed session in Europe, the FT-SE 100 sliding back.
Up about a quarter so far today. Let's heads stateside. We have the
details about the day ahead in Wall Street. More news coming from
Verizon, head of purchase of Yahoo. Labour costs will increase, that may
weigh on their earnings. Reported earnings from Apple and Batth. Apple
painting a gloomy picture back in April, forecasting a weak quarter.
Analysts unsure whether the soon-to-be-released iPhones seven
can reinvigorate sales in the second half of 2016. As for Twitter, that
is their biggest challenge, stagnating user growth. The CEO
wanting to enrolment new users through live video, tweaks to the
length of tweets. The managing director of Pimlico joins us. For a
UK audience, you know they know what you are talking about. For the world
audience, talking about BT and Ofcom. It is the bit that installs
the cables, and the bit that sells it. The national operator has this
infrastructure, being used to provide broadband services. The
issue is how much is opened up to competition. How much investment
they put into that particular part of their operation. A list of
tension between BT and competitors. Competitors pushing for a full
separation of the infrastructure and provision of service. At the moment
Ofcom once a formal separation of the two entities, still within BT.
Trying to put pressure on BT. Hopefully this will alleviate the
complaints of some of the other companies, being tough on
competition. We will talk about the papers later. For now, thanks. Still
to come secrecy, the name of the game for the UK's Royal Mint. We
will hear why silence is golden. I don't think the coins are golden.
You are with Business Live. Natwest and Royal Bank of Scotland
have warned business customers they may be charged for depositing
money in accounts, due If enacted, the move would make them
the first UK banks to introduce negative interest rates which,
in effect, means they'd be charged Theo Leggett is
following this for us. This is interesting, there are other
countries, I can think of Japan, with negative interest rates?
Yes, Sweden, the European Central Bank has even done it for some
deposit. The point about this is low interest rates are not particularly
good for banks in terms of profitability. There is a lot of
talk about interest rates in the United Kingdom going lower because
of what happened on June the 23rd, the EU referendum. It has had
certain effects on the UK economy and there is lots of speculation
that the Bank of England may choose to drop interest rates from 0.5% to
0.25% in August, potentially going lower. What NatWest and the Royal
Bank of Scotland have said is that their commercial customers may be
asked to paper the privilege of depositing money with those banks if
interest rates go to low but we can interpret this as a warning that
they would not like to see interest rates in the UK falling Tullo. So it
is not something that is necessarily going to happen, it is preparing the
way of saying, this is what we would have to do if interest rates in the
country go to low. Great stuff as always, we will talk
to you soon. Sir Philip Green is threatening
to take legal action against Frank Field,
after the Labour MP criticised him Lawyers acting for the businessman
have given Mr Field 24 hours to apologise for comparing
Sir Philip to the late media tycoon Robert Maxwell,
who took millions from A bit more on that BT news that we
were discussing, Openreach, the part that installs the wires and cables,
should become a distinct company, says the regulator, but has resisted
calls to split it off entirely. It says Richard have separate staff, a
separate board and separate branding, all designed to avoid
additional cost or disruption to consumers. Full details on our

I have been doing it all morning! To deliver parcels to the house, they
say, 30 minutes after ordering. I still want to know what happens if
you live in a flat. A quick recap of the market in the
first 45 minutes of trade, pretty flat across mainland Europe.
How would you like a licence to print money?
Each year, the UK's Royal Mint makes currencies for dozens
of countries around the world, but it's not allowed to disclose
many of its international clients for security reasons.
But the use of notes and coins has been in decline as more of us switch
Last year in the UK, electronic payments outnumbered cash
The Royal Mint has been making coins for hundreds of years.
In 2014, it launched its bullion trading website, which allows
investors to buy and sell gold coins and bars.
Gold is seen as a safe haven - somewhere to put your money
We're joined by Adam Lawrence, chief executive of the Royal Mint.
1100 years old, right? You are looking good! Welcome to the
programme, good to have you with us. So many questions. Let's start with
that, this cashless society that we are becoming. That has got to hamper
your business? The death of cash is predicted but we are not there yet,
we will not be that for a long time. The volume in the UK and many
overseas markets has actually been increasing, so the number of
transactions has been decreasing but the volume has been going up for us.
Some will think of the Royal Mint, in charge of making the money year
in the UK, but I know you cannot say, but there are lots, the tie
but, right? We make some of the blanks for Thailand, the coin before
it has the head and tail on it, and we make them for many other
countries, usually about 50 countries every year. Speaking of
the coins, one thing that interests me is the counterfeit coins,
staggering numbers of counterfeit ?1 coins, so much so that you are
introducing a new one next year with 12 side and that sort of thing? How
do you stay one step ahead of the fraudster? It is a difficult task
but we have brand-new high security features, which I cannot talk about
for obvious reasons but it is cutting edge and will allow us to
have a binary is it real or not? The great thing with the ?1 coin, we
have some overseas customers as well. Looking at those pictures, the
little piece of metal, if you will, and we have seen commodity prices go
all over the place, lots of them down, and the prices of metal, does
that affect your business? Because ?1 is ?1, right? It affects
customers' decisions about whether to make new coins and what materials
they might use. Hopper is used a lot in coins, if they go up it might
mean people change. It provides an opportunity for us to introduce new
styles of coins with the -- like with the 5p and 10p a few years ago,
predominantly nickel, which saves the taxpayer money. One thing I want
to know, these commemorative coins for weddings and birds, that sort of
thing, are they worth the? Of course they are! They are commemorative
products for people who want to keep them as a keepsake and I think for
the people who buy them there is inherent value in what they are
buying it for. We have been told to wrap it up! As an Aussie, how do you
become the big boss of the Royal Mint?! I had a pharmaceutical
background before this, finance, moved here, it is a fantastic
organisation, I was given the opportunity five years ago and I've
loved every moment of it. From drug making it a moneymaking! Great!
We appreciated, thank you very much -- from drug making to moneymaking.
They say you have to dress for success in the modern world.
In a moment we will be talking about Starbucks' new dress code,
but first let's hear about the do's and don'ts for today's business
leaders from Designer and tailor Ozwald Boateng.
A lot of CEOs don't get the power image, and they don't get the power
of their own brand that they work for, so I find sometimes a lot
Are they a bit afraid to express themselves fully?
They're thinking about their company's brand and reputation?
Some of them have an awareness, and they think, "I need to dress
a certain way," and I've experienced it when they say, "I don't
I say, "That is really anti what I do!"
You don't necessarily have to wear a suit,
but you have to be consistent in whatever that image is.
So, you had Steve Jobs always wearing a black rollneck.
If you're wearing clothes where you're confident in them
and you're enjoying them, that will reflect in the way
You have got to feel good about yourself, and when that's
happened, that radiates through who you are in your personality.
As promised, Mike is back. Let's start with the Starbucks dress code
story, lots of tweets coming in. One example, all dress code is a
side-effect of power hungry management who think they are more
important than they are! Keep those comments coming in. Your
thoughts on it? What is interesting about the Starbucks one, they
already had a dress code but now there are certain dos and don'ts,
and some are surprising, particularly the headgear. The ones
on the left are what you can buy, the ones on the right you can't. You
would not want a tiger print fedora, for example?! We don't have those in
our office either, so I agree with that! Baseball caps are not that
prevalent, either! Is that right, in today's society? Starbucks is an
internationally recognised brand, you want to make sure people feel
comfortable working for them and if you pigeonhole them too much you
reduce the appeal of working for them, so I think that is what they
are trying to do. I gather it is a 15 page document so I the spec there
are some quite entertaining pieces in their! Do you have dress down
Friday in the office? We do. What is that, in the city, just taking off
that I? More or less! But during the summer months we have something more
casual. To be honest, if you were on the tube, just taking your tie off
makes a big difference! Let's turn our attention to this
55,000,000-dollar payoff the Stephanie Meyer, this was yesterday.
An amazing number, are pretty staggering payoff. This is a
challenge we see everywhere at the moment, levels of pay, and the
clarity around it, to be fair to her, the Yahoo stock price has gone
up so to some degree she has put a lot of money there for the
shareholders, largely on the Alibaba part, so this has crystallised in a
short space of time. And Alibaba is crucially not involved in the sale.
Hanging onto that one. So it should be seen as a success? The price has
gone up by 150%, so, on that basis, to some degree she has done
something right but clearly is doing well with those numbers.
But to see you, that is it from us, we will be back tomorrow, same time,
same place. Have a good day, goodbye.

Want to increase your web site traffic, but don't know how? Google AdWords is a Google specific PPC, pay-per-click, campaign system. It is an effective online marketing tool used to attract potential customers to your web site. This can be especially beneficial to small businesses that don't have heavy site traffic. PPC can be a great marketing tactic for those on a budget, as advertisers only pay when the ad is clicked. This allows small businesses to save money by only targeting potential new customers. There are a number of steps that can be taken to set up your PPC campaign and properly invest in online marketing.
It's important that you set the proper budget for your online marketing endeavors. This can help prevent over-spending and under spending that can lead to unsuccessful ROI or return on investment. Google Adwords asks you to set a monthly budget, divides that by 30.4 (average days in a month) and tells you your average daily budget. As customer traffic can fluctuate from day to day, Google Adwords enables overdelivery. This means that Google will allow up to 20% more clicks, above your daily budget, on any given day. However, this system will monitor these fluctuations to make sure that you never go over your monthly budget. If, for some reason, Google was to overdeliver your ads too much, exceeding your budget, they will credit money back to your account to make up for the extra money spent. I would definitely recommend this budgeting plan as you can get the most out of your ads from day to day as traffic changes. Setting proper bid prices is an important budgeting decision and one that will mostly likely need adjustment as time permits. We will look more closely at that in the next section.
Determining the right keywords for your AdWords campaign is an essential part in ensuring its success. Only keywords that describe your business, products and services will generate clicks, increase conversion rates and ROI. It's important that the keywords cover exactly what your company does. Try to think about what someone, looking for your service, would type into a search engine. Following your budget, find keywords that you can bid on. You should focus on goal completion, what keywords are going to make you the most money? This can be hard to determine, but think about creating keywords that represent a connected theme, concentrating on an area that is profitable for you, and can easily be ranked in organic SEO, search engine optimization. Using max CPC, cost-per-click, tools in your campaign can help you monitor keywords that are working for you. Each keyword has a max. CPC or the maximum amount that you are willing to pay if your ad gets clicked on. Increasing your max. CPC amount will help your ad rank, thus increasing your ad position on Google search. If a keyword has a low average CPC, but has a high conversion rate then I would recommend increasing the maximum CPC. This will once again increase ad rank, position, and potential ROI. If a keyword has a high average CPC, but is not producing a high conversion rate from clicks then I would recommend reducing its maximum CPC. This will reduce this keywords position, clicks, and thus cost: saving you money and improving your ROI. As you gather more data on the success of keywords, it's important to adjust your budget accordingly. This will help you save money on low-performing keywords and invest more in valuable ones.
Another important element to add to your campaign are negative keywords. Negative keywords are words that you don't want to associate your ads with. Including these in your campaign will help narrow your target customer base, reduce overall costs, and increase return on investment. Negative keywords will prevent your ads from showing in relation with things that you don't offer, and increase the potential for clicks when they do show up. When deciding which terms to select, I would recommend thinking about words that are similar to your current keywords, but signal that the customer is clearly searching for a different product. For example, if you were selling eyeglasses you would make your negative keywords something like, drinking glasses and wine glasses because those don't correlate with what you are trying to sell.
Your keywords will only go as far as your ads will allow. Your advertisements need to draw consumers in. This includes creative headlines that are eye-catching, CTA, Calls-To-Action and a promise of benefits. Your ad copy should encourage the consumer to take the next step in pursuing your product. Google AdWords allows you to test different ad copy to determine which will create the highest conversion rate. They allow you to create various versions of the ad copy and test their success. Sometimes you can also choose to use the best version for all your advertisements. This will save money and increase the success of your overall campaign. As I mentioned earlier, your ads are pointless unless they target the right customers. Google AdWords enables you to target specific geographic areas. If you were a company in the Pacific Northwest, for example, you might decide to target customers specifically in Seattle, Washington. One important side note to mention is that you should not mislead your customers by promising them something in your ad copy other than what you offer. This will create bad publicity for your web site as well as damage your goal conversion rate for the campaign.
Do all you can to help increase the success of your campaign. Great importance must be placed on high conversion rates, so optimize your ad copy and landing pages on a regular basis. Make sure the ad copy are creating results and the landing pages are generating customers with the use of effective CTAs. The landing pages should be unique, display the products and easy to follow. This is a crucial step in campaign success.
As your campaign moves further on make sure you are checking up on keywords and their success, making adjustments as necessary. This is an exciting step for your company as you are working to increase website traffic and recognition. Working hard on this campaign will produce the results you are looking for. Hope this helps and good luck!

Norfolk Dredging Completes Maintenance Dredging at Port of Baltimore
May 21, 2019 By Anna Townshend
In April, Norfolk Dredging Company (NDC) finished dredging 2.6 million cubic yards from the shipping channels leading to the Port of Baltimore. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Baltimore District awarded the $24.6 million contract. Work began in December 2018 and was completed on April 14.
The work is part of the regular maintenance of the multiple channels that go from the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia into Baltimore Harbor. The current project dredged material from six federal channels.
This map shows the five Baltimore Harbor approach channels being dredged by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in FY19. Curtis Bay Channel, not pictured here, will also be dredged as part of the FY19 maintenance dredging scheduled to begin December 2018 and continue through spring 2019 through a $17.5 million contract. The work is part of the regular maintenance of the multiple channels that go from the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia all the way into Baltimore Harbor that require periodic dredging to ensure continued safe navigation for vessels going in and out of the Port of Baltimore.
The channels were dredged to 51 feet and vary in width from 400 to 700 feet. Cutoff Angle was last dredged in 2014, Craighill Upper Range in 2009, Craighill Angle in 2017, Craighill Channel in 2007, Craighill Entrance in 2016, and Curtis Bay in 2009.
Corps Baltimore District Project Manager Jeremiah Spiga said the channels generally shoal about two feet or more along the outside quarter of the channel.
Norfolk Dredging did the work with two Cable Arm clamshell bucket dredges, the 38-cubic-yard Atlantic and the 30-cubic yard Virginian. The Vicksburg, a 24-inch hydraulic barge unloader; two, 4,500-cubic-yard hopper barges (scows); three, 6,500-cubic-yard scows; one 6,000-cubic-yard scow, three tender tugs, four to five tugs, a support tug, drag barge and two crew boats joined the dredges on the project.
Norfolk Dredging also brought various land based equipment, including thousands of feet of HDPE pipeline, recirculation pumps, bulldozers, front-end loaders, extended boom forklifts, generators, air compressors and welding machines.
The material consisted mainly of mud, silt, sand and shell and was placed at two sites. Norfolk Dredging placed approximately 500,000 cubic yards of material from Curtis Bay Channel at the Masonville Dredge Material Containment Facility (DMCF), located in Anne Arundel County. Approximately 2.1 million cubic yards of material dredged from the Chesapeake Bay channels, including the Craighill Entrance, Craighill Channel, Craighill Angle, Craighill Upper Range and the Cutoff Angle channels, was beneficially reused at the Paul S. Sarbanes Ecosystem Restoration Project at Poplar Island, located in the eastern Chesapeake Bay near Tilghman Island in Talbot County, Maryland.
Mike Bushery, Norfolk Dredging project manager, said the dredged material was loaded by the clamshell dredges into the scows and then towed by tugboats to the disposal sites, where the Vicksburg unloaded the barges.
The Poplar Island site was about 25 to 35 miles away from the dredging site. The average tow distance to Masonville DMCF was about 1.5 miles. At Masonville, Norfolk Dredging could not pump slurry water from the bay, so it used recirculating pumps.
"Early on in my career with NCD, I was on the project that helped build the Masonville DMCF. It was great being able to see the area again and how much it's changed," Bushery said.
At Poplar Island, Norfolk Dredging placed material at four different discharge points in three cells to facilitate testing being done by the Corps at the site.
The dredges worked simultaneously in the channels. "In the lower bank areas, we only kept one dredge in a section because it would go fast. The dredges teamed up on the angles because there was more bank and enough room for both dredges to work together, without being on top of each other," Bushery said.
He said one of the biggest challenges for the project was logistics and coordination. "It takes a lot of moving parts, spread out over 35 miles by water (1.5-hour drive by land), to make the dredging and unloading process come together. While it's all one project, you basically have three separate work areas operating simultaneously. With the extensive amount of equipment and personnel, it's hard to keep everything running smoothly, and a breakdown at one of the three sites affects the rest of the project. For instance, if the unloader breaks down, or if it's too rough to unload scows, then the dredges shut down a few hours later because all the hopper barges get filled but have nowhere to go. And vice versa, if a dredge breaks down then we're not feeding the unloader enough to keep it operating, and it shuts down for large parts of the day or longer," Bushery said.
Work in the Northeast during the winter is usually challenged by extreme cold and rougher seas than the summer months. Bushery said the weather was fair, but the project experienced its fair share of "nasty days."
He said when Norfolk Dredging performed maintenance dredging in the channel in 2014 and 2015, the entire bay froze solid from the C&D Canal to south of the Bay Bridge, which shut the project down for about 20 days.
"On this project, I commend our entire team for doing an excellent job of safely, overcoming the many hazards of performing heavy construction in the harsh marine environment, including winter weather," Bushery said. In total, the project logged more than 160,000 exposure hours without accruing a single lost-time injury.
"Whether people realize it or not, the Port of Baltimore is one of the key economic engines for Baltimore, the state of Maryland and really the whole region, and maintaining shipping channels like we're doing with this work is extremely important," said Baltimore District Commander Col. John Litz. "We're happy to be able to carry out dredging on six channels this year coordinating closely with our partners in the Maryland Port Administration to maintain the depths of these vital channels and ensure the port of Baltimore can continue to serve the region."
The Baltimore District works closely with the Maryland Port Administration (MPA) on projects in the channels and harbors. "A significant part of [MPA's] role is to help coordinate for placement sites for the material. They are a cost-sharing partner in the Paul S. Sarbanes Ecosystem Restoration Project at Poplar Island and work closely with the Maryland Environmental Service, who perform day-to-day operations on the site," Spiga said.
The Masonville Dredged Material Containment Facility, where material dredged from the Inner Harbor area was placed, is an MPA facility.
Funding for the project came from fiscal year 2018 (FY18) Corps annual funds. Poplar Island Construction General (CG) FY18 funds were used for approximately 45 percent of the dredging work for material that was sent to Poplar Island.
The Baltimore District expects to award another dredging contract later this year for the removal of material from the York Split Channel, an approach channel for the Port of Baltimore in Virginia waters of the Chesapeake Bay.
In 2018, the U.S. Department of Transportation also dedicated $6.6 million in grant funding for a project to deepen a second container berth to 50 feet at the Seagirt Marine Terminal. The State of Maryland will contribute $7.8 million and Ports America Chesapeake, which operates the Seagirt Marine Terminal, will add $18.4 million for a total project cost of about $32.8 million.
The Port of Baltimore had a record year in 2018, handling 10.9 million tons of general cargo. Container was also a record for 2018, at 1,023,152 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units), up six percent from 2017.

Said the tourist "The people of your country are poor. But they never seem preoccupied."
Said the Master "That is because they never look at the clock."
A disciple had to rush back home when he got news that his house had burnt down.
He was an old man and everyoe commiserated with him on his return.
All that the Master said to him was, "This will make dying easier."
The Enlightened person, said the Master, is one who sees that everything in the world is perfect exactly as it is.
"What about the gardener?" someone asked "is he perfect too?"
The monastery gardener was a hunchback.
"For what he is meant to be in life." said the Master, "the gardener is a perfect hunchback."
The idea that everythig in the world is perfect was more than the disciples could accept. So the Master put it in concepts that were more withing their grasp. "God weaves perfect designs with the threads of our lives" he said "even with our sins. The reason we can't see this is we're looking at the reverse side of the tapestry."
And, more succintly "What some people take for a shiny stone the jeweller recognizes as a diamond."
The disciples were distressed to see the Master's teaching ridiculed in a national magazine.
The Master was unperturbed. "Could anything be really true" he said, "if no one laughed at it?"
Is his younger days the Master had been a political activist and had led a protest march against the government. Thousands of people had left their homes and jobs to join the agitation.
The march had hardly begun when he called the whole thing off "You simply cannot do this; this march had been planned for months and has cost the people dearly. They will accuse you of being inconsistent" said his agitated followers.
The Master was unmoved "My commitment is not to consistency" he said "but to the Truth."

Refrigeration with less energy
[Germany]
A completely re-designed refrigeration system that consumes less energy
Cold goes green
When it comes to sustainable development, there are certain key moments in a company's life. Replacing a piece of equipment is one of them. In many cases, it offers companies an opportunity to use a more efficient/secure product, take advantage of the technological breakthroughs that have taken place since the purchase of the original piece of equipment, and select more eco-friendly technology.
Refrigeration systems consume large amounts of energy. When the time came for the Reutlingen factory to change its 14-year-old model, its employees saw it as an opportunity to reduce their energy consumption.
387,500 kWh saved per year
They decided to purchase an ammonia refrigeration system. Ammonia has excellent thermal and thermodynamic capacities that are especially useful for high-powered installations like those used in the factory, which consumes several hundred kilowatts.
A highly-specialized system was chosen to do the job properly. The technology continually modulates the amount of refrigeration generated based on the environment (e.g. exterior temperature) and the factory's co-generation system.
To go even further, a significant amount of equipment was renovated as well, including the entire peripheral distribution network. The new technology also consumed less energy.
As a result, the factory made substantial savings, specifically a 50% drop in energy expenditure! In terms of energy resources consumed at the source, the difference is truly significant.
Increased sustainability and efficiency
This initiative doesn't only help the environment. In fact, the new system is more efficient and better suited to the demands of customers and the law. It also costs less because it uses less energy.
What is co-generation?
Co-generation is one of the many solutions available for improving energy efficiency and achieving sustainable development. This method involves producing two forms of energy at the same site by recycling a type of waste that would otherwise be unused and considered as trash in another facility. In one example, the heat generated by the production of electricity can be recovered to heat water. This approach requires less energy, uses less combustible fossil fuels, and produces less CO2.

A 43-year-old divorced woman patient with postpartum depression had visited our psychiatric outpatient clinic regularly since 2011. Her parents were divorced when she was in her teenage, and she had to rely on a friend of her sister. She had a quick marriage with her ex-husband after they met and dated for three months. She suffered from domestic violence after her son was born in 2003, and she also had conflicts with her mother-in-law at the same time. She developed depressive symptoms gradually. They were in a legal separation soon and then got divorced in 2006. When recalling her ex-husband's violent behaviors or irrational memories, she had poor appetite, insomnia with nightmare, and even suicidal ideas.
We made the diagnosis of double depression, and prescribed 60 mg/day of mirtazapine with some hypnotics. Later, we switched the mirtazapine to 60 mg of duloxetine, but her mood disturbance remained "ups and downs."
According to her medical records, she had visited our emergency department (ED) more than 20 times per year from 2011 to 2019. Most of her mild complaints included itching skin rashes, slight cold, dizziness, and slight contusion injury. We also found that she faked unusual symptoms during hospitalization.
Her son was diagnosed with attention deficit disorder and had received regular treatment in our pediatric psychiatry outpatient clinic from 2008 to 2012. In March 2012, she sought for intelligence assessment for him due to learning difficulties. During the test, the psychologist found that he was reluctant to cooperate with the test and hid true expression. Besides, our observation was not like what his mother's statement. Finally, the assessment did not finish due to the unreliable results. She was dissatisfied and then refused the follow-up.
In August 2016, he was admitted to another hospital "A" because she said he had voices which commanded violent behavior toward her and a suicidal tendency. But the medical staff observed that he had no obvious psychotic features after admission and then he was discharged home from the hospital. She fabricated other psychological symptoms again to refuse discharge with the same old trick.
To our surprise, he had a total of 522 clinic visits and many admissions in different hospitals from 2009 to 2016. He was admitted 5–6 times every year at our hospital, and the longest length of hospitalization lasted for 10 months. The diagnoses during various hospitalizations included brain concussion, contusion injury of extremities, acute bronchopneumonia/bronchitis, and acute lymphadenitis. He had had many unusual accidental injuries. We also found a seizure attack as a main symptom told by his mother in our ED since 2015, but we did not find any evidence for supporting this diagnosis. The psychiatric staff thought that he was a victim of factitious disorder imposed on another.
The medical staff separated the child from his mother immediately and contacted other community resources, including the Center for Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Prevention, schools, different hospitals, chief of the village, police department, fire department, and the lawyer, with an objective of helping this family restore normal life.
After a 15-month treatment with the efforts from multiprofessional approaches, his mental and physical conditions were improved steadily. But he did not meet the diagnosis of intellectual disabilities after reassessment. A closer and stronger intra-family relationship was built, and then, he returned to the original family.
Unfortunately, we heard that she suddenly "died" from a hypovolemic shock due to unexpected fall in the restroom during hospitalization in hospital "B" in October 2019. Her mother (i.e., the boy's grandmother) told us that her general condition got better, and the doctor allowed her discharge the next day. The story was weird that something happened before discharge, but this time was the end of the tragedy.
The clinical course of the mother–son pair was characterized by repetitive hospitalizations and wandering from one hospital to another. Their somatic symptoms were diffuse, nonspecific but were controlled by herself. She was once caught faking fever symptom by using hot towel on her son's ear lobe, and she was also suspected creating worsening wound condition at the clinic. When doctors mentioned discharge, she always made an excuse to refuse. We could not judge whether she wanted to play the sick rôle, but we think that she wanted to get attention. Her family was poor, and she did not change any material condition after hospitalizations. Besides, she did not have any legal problems or other external incentives. We suspect that she was a case of Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSBP) and highly suspected combined Munchausen syndrome (MS).
An estimated 30%–70% of abusers have both MS and MSBP, and mothers are the most common characters[1],[2]. Most victims are often reported in pediatric journals rather than in psychiatric periodicals[3]. Children's mean age is 3 years 2 months, and often under the age of 6 years[4]. The death rate among the victims is around 7.6%, of which the younger ones are substantially higher[5],[6]. Separating the child from an abuser and providing a safety place are necessary.
In this case report, her son was 13 years old when receiving help, and he should fight against her deception. Long-term hospitalization may lead to his cultural deprivation, and he may be forced by his mother's intention.
MS cases often have combined personality disorders, such as borderline or narcissistic personality disorder[3]. We had a chance of arranging for a psychological assessment for her in July 2017, and the result showed the tendency toward cluster B personality disorder.
Psychotherapy may be effective for patients combined with personality disorder. But no enough evidence exists to show biologic or psychological therapy having efficacy on them[7]. Only 12% of patients agree to receive treatment[8].
MS and MSBP are not easily identified and diagnosed, and they are associated with high morbidity. The availability of electronic medical information and good cooperation between inpatient and outpatient staff can help medical professionals to diagnose earlier, so we can avoid unnecessary treatment and waste of medical resources. The long-term supportive and later confrontational psychotherapy can be conducted to increase awareness toward their diagnosis and strengthen treatment adherence. Although being limited with a single case report here, we still suggest that a multidisciplinary team can facilitate a more comprehensive and holistic approach to those patients, thus preventing the risk of tragic adverse events during hospitalization. (This case report was approved by the institution review board of Tri-Service General Hospital (IRB protocol number = V1-20201120, and date of approval = December 4, 2020) without any stipulation of obtaining informed consent from the patient).

LaPO4 has been actively studied for proton conductor applications, due to its stability and proton uptake in humid atmospheres over intermediate temperature ranges. An important process underlying the application of this and related materials for proton-conductor applications is the hydrolysis of pyrophosphate defects. In this work we undertake density-functional-theory (DFT) calculations of the relative energetics of pyrophosphate defects and protons in LaPO4, including their binding with divalent dopant cations. Due to the low symmetry of the monazite crystal structure for LaPO4, there exists four symmetry-distinct pyrophosphate defect configurations; DFT calculations are used to identify the most stable configuration, which is 0.24 eV lower in energy than all others. Further, from supercell calculations with 1.85 mol% Sr doping, we investigate the dopant-binding energies for pyrophosphate defects to be 0.37 eV, which is comparable to the value of 0.34 eV calculated for proton–dopant binding energies in the same system. These results establish that dopant–defect interactions further stabilize proton incorporation, with the hydration enthalpies when the dopants are nearest and furthest from the protons and pyrophosphate defects being −1.66 eV and −1.37 eV, respectively. Even though our calculations show that dopant binding enhances the enthalpic favorability of proton incorporation, they also suggest that such binding is likely to substantially lower the kinetic rate of hydrolysis of pyrophosphate defects.


What we mean by co-operative skills is the skill-set you need to be able to co-operate effectively – i.e. work with others in a collective, non-hierarchical, democratically managed organisational structure.
Understanding how to avoid potential conflict caused by poor governance or poorly planned growth.
It has been suggested that Emotional Intelligence is a necessary basis for the development of co-operative skills, and if we assume that what we mean by that is self-knowledge and self-awareness, reflection, empathy and social awareness, then common sense would suggest such attributes are indeed essential. Here's a brief summary of current understanding of emotional intelligence, a look at some of the skills and how we can improve our own emotional intelligence.
Whether or not it's possible to identify and measure emotional intelligence, some of the basic requirements for co-operative working – such as good communication skills and the ability to behave assertively (instead of being passive, aggressive or manipulative) require self-knowledge, social awareness and empathy.
It's my belief that such skills are not innate, and can be learned – indeed if children were taught co-operative skills in the classroom they would be better equipped to help build the better world we all want to see.
The elements above are all described and explained in the various topic areas of the website – with games, exercises, and links to other websites and sources of information.


Never mind the rights or wrongs, how do they actually ride?
We've spoken to a number of people during bike trade shows and asked them what their experience of riding an electric mountain bike was.
Electric assist bikes are something that still causes some debate and stirs some passions within the mountain bike community. They're often seen by some as a bit of a sore point. They're seen slightly as cheating.
Sometimes, quite frankly, there's a lot of vehement hatred for e-bikes. People get annoyed by the idea of e-bikes.
That is, until people get out from behind the keyboards and actually go and experience what an e-bike actually is. And what it isn't.
"When the concept of e-bikes came along it annoyed me I must be honest. I like to go up a hill and have a smug feeling that I've earned the right to be here. I then rode an e-bike and my world did change. And while I don't think I'll ever be an owner of an e-bike, they're great fun, I can't deny it. For the right person, people who don't have time to train, people who just want to smash out multiple runs, yeah, I think they're a great thing." – David Flynn, Hotlines.
"I got up a technical climb I probably would;'t have got up on a normal mountain bike. Able to see more, more in the time I had. I think that's the big thing. Everyone has a window – busy lives – and an e-bike will allow you to do more in that window." – Sandy Plenty, Trailhead Bicycle Co.
"It just changed a bit of the ride. The hills that you'd normally be a bit put off by – you think "awww, look at that, that's gonna be a bit of a struggle"… suddenly they become quite fun because you could fly up 'em , you know, if you really put the effort in. It wasn't exactly easier, you're still trying as hard as everything like that but it definitely er, yeah, added a different twist to the ride." – Antonio Fiore, Silverfish UK.
"I'm thinking of getting one, purely seen as an uplift assist. Kn out lunch break rides we've got some very steep climbs around where we are in Risca at Mojo so potentially we can get two or three runs of the downhill track in our lunch break rather than just one. So not seeing it as easier way to get to the top, seeing it as a faster way to get to the top and getting some more fun time from it." – Tim Williams, Mojo Suspension.

New Managing Partner as firm turns 100
Emma Leys has been appointed Kott Gunning's new Managing Partner, taking over from Stephen Williams who has led the firm through a strategic rebrand over a number of years.
The role includes overseeing the firm's big picture direction and strategic opportunities, and Emma is honoured to be taking on that responsibility in the firm's centenary year.
"It's an exciting opportunity to be Kott Gunning's Managing Partner in the year we are celebrating our firm's 100th anniversary," says Emma, who started as a property lawyer at the firm 20 years ago, and has been department head of the Commercial and Property team since 2005.
Emma, a "people person", is known for her friendly and approachable leadership style, open door policy and willingness to listen. The firm's focus on supporting a people-centric workplace culture is something Emma is passionate about.
"Our people are our most important asset and are really at the firm's core," she says, noting the family-like quality that comes with having many team members who have enjoyed and stayed working with the firm, for decades.
As Managing Partner, Emma is keen to continue the firm's tradition of building and valuing strong relationships – within the firm, with clients, and with the charities Kott Gunning supports.
"Many of our firm's clients have been clients of the firm for decades and are an extremely important part of our history. We put a lot of value on and take a lot of pride in those relationships", she says.
Kott Gunning's 100 year milestone is largely thanks to the strength of those relationships and the values of our team, says Emma.
"We look forward to honouring our firm's significant history this year and consider ourselves very fortunate to be a part of celebrating this very unique achievement."

Next Story Who Is Ole Miss' True Rival?
Derrick Nix was going to play football in the NFL until he didn't. Derrick Nix was going to be a high NFL draft pick until he wasn't.
"It was a great time. I got an opportunity to play with a lot of great players there. I had the opportunity to play as a true freshman and eventually become the starting tailback," Nix said.
Nix played under the winningest coach in Southern Miss history in Jeff Bower, and eventually started his coaching career under Bower.
Nix was a freshman All-American in 1998 and helped lead the Golden Eagles to a conference championship in 1999 where Southern Miss finished number 13 in the country, the best ranking in school history.
The Golden Eagles would play in bowl games every year Nix played in Hattiesburg, a feat that he takes extreme pride in, but the Alabama native didn't know what was next. Nobody did. Nobody expected he'd have kidney failure that would cost him a chance to play NFL football. Nobody.
In 2000 Nix played a game against the University of Memphis, a team he dominated throughout his college career. He sprained his ankle and tried to come back quickly.
During that process, his uninjured ankle started swelling. He gained weight out of nowhere, and eventually, tests showed that he was losing protein out of a kidney. They thought it was treatable.
Nix was 20. He wasn't interested in the diagnosis. He thought he was just overeating. He was 20. He was invincible.
Nix went and tried to run more. He was just going to go and try to lose weight. He didn't understand then that it was serious. He didn't understand that he was retaining fluid.
Nix redshirted his junior season in 2001 to handle all the medical issues that arose. He played in 2002, and he performed well enough to get invites to the senior bowl and the NFL combine.
He remembers having 104 yards vs. East Carolina in his last game. He then remembers being on dialysis a week later with kidney problems.
He knew something was wrong. He didn't have the same endurance. He didn't have the speed. He was disappointed that his career was over when it was, but he, understandably, was just happy that he was about to get help because he knew something wasn't, and hadn't been, right.
Nix had a match for a kidney. He had signed up and gone through the process of finding someone that would match him. He found him in his household, his brother Marcus. Nix felt brand new again.
Nix is now an organ donor because he realized the importance of it and how much he relies on it.
"As Coach Nix said, organ donation is very important. Especially to the families that are waiting for an organ transplant. It has a huge impact on these people's lives. It improves their lives. It saves their lives," President of the Mississippi Organ Recovery Agency Kevin Stump said.
Stump said that they encourage everyone that can become an organ donor to do so. Stump said that in 2008 the Mississippi legislature passed a law where people can register their intent to be an organ donor. The most recent numbers indicate that there are over 780,000 people in the state registered as organ donors.
To become an organ donor, a person would need to go to donatelifems.org and register through the computer access port.
Nix became a graduate assistant at Southern Miss in 2003 where he coached tight ends under Bower. He eventually took over as the running backs coach at Southern Miss.
Ole Miss had just come off a 2007 season where they had won zero conference games and had to relieve Ed Orgeron of his duties.
When Nix took the job in January of 2008, he remembers the staff was scrambling to put a semblance of a recruiting class together. Nix remembered one guy in particular that wasn't being heavily recruited, but that he knew would be, and frankly had to be, a focal point of the Ole Miss class that year.
The Rebels eventually garnered Bolden's signature, and the Louisiana native rushed for over 500 yards during his first year as a Rebel. Nix also signed the number one prep-school running back in the country in the 2008 class in Enrique Davis.
During Nutt's first two seasons in Oxford, Ole Miss enjoyed two of the better years the program had seen in modern history.
In the 2008 season, the Rebels surprised everyone knocking off Florida and LSU on the road on the way to their first bowl appearance in five seasons.
Nix was allowed to enjoy the pleasure of coaching with his brother Tyrone, Ole Miss' defensive coordinator under Houston Nutt when he came to Oxford.
Ole Miss rebounded, somewhat, and turned in their second consecutive 8-4 season and second consecutive Cotton Bowl victory.
Then it went badly, quickly. Ole Miss won six games in total during the 2010-2011 seasons, and only won one conference game during that period. Nutt had to go. Ole Miss had to move in another direction, or their program would be left behind in a conference that getting left behind isn't an option.
Ole Miss hired Hugh Freeze in December of 2011, replacing Nutt. Freeze took his time with his assistant coaching hires, but eventually decided to retain Nix to be a part of attempting to turn Ole Miss' football program around.
It wasn't going to be easy, as Ole Miss had grade problems running rampant throughout the program. They had commitment issues. They had players at the end 2011 season not showing up to the IPF. Those were off the field problems that had to be addressed, and that was just the off-the-field problems that Ole Miss faced. The on-the-field problems were worse.
Nix said that the 2012 season became a confidence thing, with Ole Miss getting back to their first bowl game in four years. Bowl games have become the norm under Freeze, as he's taken the Rebels to a bowl game consecutively for four years now.
Ole Miss is different now. The Rebels are signing highly ranked recruiting classes. They're winning football games at a level that the program hasn't seen since John Vaught was roaming the sidelines. Things aren't, and likely never will be, the same at Ole Miss as before with Freeze on the sidelines.
"I think the mental approach is so different. When Coach Freeze came in here, he knew we had a lot of great things to sell, and that's all we had to do. We just had to sell the positives about Ole Miss," Nix said.
Nix said that the main points that they try to drive home to guys that they're attempting to sign aren't things that are seen on the field. They're off the field. The coaching staff wants prospects to know and see what they're doing off the field in turning players into better young men. That's important to Nix. That's important to the coaching staff.
Ole Miss lost Jaylen Walton after the 2015 season. Walton served as a stable back for the program, and even considering his size disadvantage, the Memphis native was able to give Ole Miss solid production at the position.
This year, the Rebels return junior Jordan Wilkins and senior Akeem Judd to the mix, along with adding redshirt freshman Eric Swinney who is coming off a stress fracture injury he acquired in his first summer in Oxford.
Nix is going into his ninth season at Ole Miss. Most coaches at the Division-1 level don't stay at a place that long, whether it's for a promotion, a firing, or other circumstances. Nix is different. He considers Oxford home now. After so long here he said he had to.

Indians are discussing a plan to ban use of maps or satellite images of the country without approval from the government.
The plan's critics have launched an online campaign called "Save The Map." They say the proposed ban could affect many new businesses and services that use technology.
The Geospatial Information Regulation Bill would require anyone who wants to use, publish or own maps or geospatial data to seek official permission. A special security committee would consider such requests.
Indian officials say the proposed law would help protect military bases from enemies and terrorists. They deny it would cause problems for businesses.
But Internet experts say the law would affect anyone who uses mobile phones, laptop computers and online companies, such as ride services. They also fear that the ban would affect computer software programs and Apple or Google Map products.
The Center for Internet and Society (CIS) in Bangalore also has criticized the bill. It says the measure would return India to where it was more than 30 years ago -- when businesses were forced to get licenses from government officials before they could begin to operate. Pranesh Prakash works at the center.
Technology experts from Bangalore launched the "Save The Map" campaign. It is calling on Indians to demand that the government change the planned law. The campaign is hoping to copy a successful campaign called "Save The Internet," which pressured the government to ensure equal access to the Internet.
Indian officials have sought to calm critics, saying the bill is not final. The government has asked people to give ideas on how it should be changed by June 4.
Officials note the country is dealing with an increasing number of security issues, including an attack at an air base in northern India earlier this year. Terrorists based in Pakistan were said to have carried out the attack.
But Prakash notes that the measure would not stop terrorists from using geospatial data from sources outside India.
Internet and policy experts say the government would not be able to stop others from creating maps or satellite images of sensitive locations in the country.

Happy Friday! We're a full week into the new year and I'm finally starting to feel human again. The last thing to go is this nasty cough I can't seem to shake.
I absolutely love all of the support Alyssa Milano brings to the breastfeeding community. She's doing her thing and helping to normalize it. She stood up for herself and the entire community of breastfeeding women to Wendy Williams this week. I will never understand why it's okay for someone to wear a tiny string bikini that barely covers anything, but a woman feeding her baby is shamed.
I turned 30 yesterday. I feel like there's absolutely no way I'm already 30. I did just graduate high school last week, right? I spent my day with my crazy boys and then my mom took me out for dinner and some shopping.
Around Thanksgiving of 2014, I bought myself a really nice point and shoot, a Canon PowerShot SX170 IS. It has been an awesome little camera and I'll continue to use it when I want something small to get the job done.
This year, I'm upping my photography game and invested in a Canon Rebel T5. I'm cheap, like really cheap. I hate spending so much money on a single item. I was immediately overwhelmed and regretted my purchase as I was pulling it out of the box. That said, once I started snapping a few pictures, I fell in love. What a difference! I am so excited to start taking better pictures. I was even able to snap a few pictures of the kids where they're not a blurry mess!
You've seen some of our favorite pictures from Beaches Turks & Caicos and we've shared about Baking Cookies with Cookie Monster at Beaches, but now… Social Media on the Sand has released the recap video of the event. It was absolutely amazing and I'm hoping to be invited again this year!
I spotted myself several times in the video!
Charlie started soccer this past Sunday and he absolutely loves it! I played volleyball, softball, and a little basketball growing up, but never played soccer. I knew it would be perfect for Charlie's energetic self with all of the running and kicking.
Before we got there on Sunday, he kept insisting he didn't like soccer and that he didn't want to go. As soon as he got out on that field though, his little face lit up and he was so excited. That is exactly what a mom wants to see. When we got home from the first day, I ordered a soccer backpack, which is the perfect size to hold Charlie's uniform shirt, his shin guards, his soccer ball, a drink, and a few other things.
What are some things you're loving this week?


Adhesive remover helps remove glues and adhesives left behind by decals, stickers and other sticky products. This all natural formula is safe to use without ruining painted surfaces. Fast acting and quick to remove. Can be used on a wide range of surfaces including glass, fiberglass, vinyl and painted surfaces that have been properly cured. Ideal for use on boats, automobiles and signs. We suggest that you first test a small inconspicuous area for compatibility. Avoid use on latex painted surfaces, styrofoam, styrene and plastic surfaces. This stuff smells like a mild cleaner. We have personally used the remover fluid on styrofoam and it disintegrated.
