In a special "Best of 2016" edition of Shop Talk, our team of retail experts offers insider tips and sage advice on running a successful independent retail store, from branding to trend forecasting to cash flow—and everything in between.
Q: I WANT TO REVAMP OUR TAGLINE, BUT I HAVE NO clue where to start. What's the best way to come up with one that truly reflects the unique gifts and shopping experience we offer without being too wordy?
A: Taglines are an incredible asset to any business, but they are equally difficult to create. There is a reason advertising firms make so much money! Still, no one knows your business better than you do, and that makes you the most qualified to quantify your brand in a tagline.
Looking at corporate taglines we are exposed to everyday, it is clear taglines can be incredibly effective in customer retention and brand awareness—we all have some memorized without even knowing it. Here's the first one that came to my mind as inspiration: "Nationwide is on your side." I literally can hear the melody of that tagline when I read it. This is a great example of a highly effective tagline. While it doesn't state exactly what Nationwide does, it endears you to the company and instills the feeling the company wants you to have about it. It also speaks to how you would use its services and what you would most want from a company in that field. The melodic tune fits the words, which makes it easy to remember, and using the company name in the tagline reinforces the company brand.
To start formulating your store's tagline, break down what it is about corporate taglines such as these that works and figure out how to apply those elements to your brand. Corporations spend thousands of dollars to do exactly that. To boost your brand recognition, starting with your store name is a great jumping off point. Like Nationwide, does your name rhyme with something you sell or services you offer? Or, does your store name work in a catchy sentence that reflects your store's branding (e.g., "Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there")?
Sometimes the simplest answer is the best. When someone asks you about your store, how do you describe it? If you can quantify what you do in one sentence for a potential customer, you can turn that sentence into a tagline. For example, the tagline for Lowe's is "Never stop improving." Target's is "Expect more, pay less," while Best Buy promotes "Expert service, unbeatable price." Are you the only resource for something special in your area? For instance, do you staff more employees, so you can offer better customer service or faster turnaround? These unique qualities can inspire your tagline.
Put together a handful of ideas, some using your brand name, some speaking to what you sell or do, some designed to inspire confidence, and gather feedback to narrow your choices. Show them to staff, regular customers, family, and friends. They can help you pick the best one and find the right tweaks to arrive at the perfect tagline.
If you just can't seem to come up with anything that shines, have a contest for customers to create their own taglines for your store. Reward the winner with a generous Gift certificate to your store. You will spend much less than an advertising agency would charge, learn more about how your customers see your store, and end up with a great tagline that fits from the people whose perceptions you can trust the most—your customers!
You want your tagline to be as short and succinct as possible. Look for redundant content. Check a thesaurus for potential alternate words. Consider slang words or abbreviations that are well known and understood. There are many ways to say the same thing, and you likely will have to play around a while to get your tagline right.
Q: WHAT ARE SOME WAYS TO ENCOURAGE MORE IMPULSE buying, not just for small-ticket items at the cash wrap but throughout my store?
A: Encouraging customers to buy isn't always easy. You have to be very engaged (but not pushy) and carry products you believe in. When you sell products you personally use and love, sharing your experience with customers can prompt them to make a happy purchase they weren't planning on.
For example, if someone is looking at my Himalayan salt products, I share the benefits of using these products and how much my family enjoys using them. I have write-ups on how to make a sole (a Himalayan salt infusion for health and wellness) and I offer them a copy when they leave. Most people enjoy being educated about things they are interested in, but it's very important not to overreach and become pushy. If a customer is looking at jewelry or clothing, they may not be interested in hearing about the benefit of adding Himalayan salt to their diet!
Having items out on display for your customers to touch, feel, taste, and test is really important. Many vendors will sell items at an even more discounted price just for this purpose. I have to admit I love gadgets, and I'm always looking for something new and exciting to sell in my tea room. For example, I sell lots of loose-leaf tea, and I'm amazed at how many tea balls for infusing tea I sell, since I find them a bit cumbersome myself. Several years ago, I started carrying in-cup tea infusers. This item changed the amount of tea I drink—and the way I drink it. I always keep an infuser on display now, so I can quickly demonstrate it for a customer. Nine times out of 10 they will buy, and I always feel really good about selling them one.
It also is important to make sure your employees are educated about the products you sell. To accomplish this, I sometimes give them my favorite products as gifts or bonuses for doing a good job. I am so proud when I overhear one of my employees sharing a positive experience about one of our products with a customer.
Q: WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO move remaining inventory when you're going out of business? Is it better to sell it at a deep discount or just donate it to charity as a tax write off?
A: When closing your doors, selling off your last remaining inventory can be a challenge, especially if you've discounted it to the max and it still hasn't moved. To answer accurately depends on what your specific needs will be once your store closes. If you are concerned about having enough money to stay afloat during the transition from your current business to your after-closing plans, then by all means get every penny out of your remaining inventory, even if you have to sell items at ridiculously low prices.
Don't hesitate to put a price on such things as display units, shop fixtures (if they belong to you), and even wrapping paper, bags, etc. Once the public knows you're going out of business, their vulture instinct will kick in and they'll swoop in to clear out everything in sight ... for a price.
People known as "jobbers" can take your inventory and liquidate it for you, deeply discounted of course. Some companies specialize in professionally managed "Store Closing Sales" and offer coaching on how to obtain the most cash from closing your business. Beware of those who try to convince you to stage a phony store-closing sale just to generate sales. People will smell it a mile away.
Another option is to contact stores selling similar products and offer your remaining inventory at below wholesale prices. A resale consignment shop might be thrilled (they rarely get new items) and set a reasonable price for your entire stock.
Try offering items online (eBay is an example) or on any of the instant-listing/selling apps, such as "letgo." Flea market vendors, nonprofits, thrift stores, liquidators, and other bulk sellers scout the Internet for deals and might even pick your items up for you.
Last but not least, contact your vendors. Sometimes they are willing to buy their products back, and they may even offer you what you paid for it if you agree to pay for the return shipping.
If obtaining cash is not an issue, or time is short and you just need to clear everything out, then certainly donate your leftover inventory. If you have leftover display units or building material, contact Habitat for Humanity—they gladly will pick things up.
Q: I KNOW RETAIL SALES HAVE PEAKS AND VALLEYS, but my expenses don't. What are some ways to budget for cash flow throughout the year?
A: What a great question! Nine years in, I think I might be getting an idea of how to keep money in the bank! My biggest expense is staffing. For the last few years, I have Had too much staff during off months. That is a huge drain on cash flow. I always thought I was too small for seasonal help, but not anymore. I will add staff at the end of October for the holidays and have them help with inventory in January. Hopefully they will come back the following year. I also understand my customers' buying habits better now, thanks to our point-of-sale system.
I have a general store, and when I first opened I didn't think a scanner and UPC codes would fit with the style of my store. Ugh! That was a very poor decision. Finally getting a POS system was one of the best decisions I've made for my store. It saves time and MONEY! Before our POS system, it was difficult to keep track of what customers purchased. For example, now I know exactly how many chocolate Easter bunnies sold last year—and when—so I'm able to buy more appropriately. I also can see in a second which clothing sizes are selling, so I know to buy more of the most popular sizes. That might sound really basic, but I can be on a buying trip, remotely connect to my POS via my phone, and know in an instant which sizes sold and which didn't. I don't have staff scrambling to do a quick inventory of book titles to see what is still in stock. All that information is right at my fingertips. As a result, I don't overbuy anymore. We are much more efficient because of our POS system.
If you don't have one, I highly suggest you get a POS system. I work with a company called T-Hub, which connects my web store to my in-store POS. Because they talk to each other, our inventories are correct. We no longer spend time calling online customers because we're out of stock.
I also try to buy more evenly throughout the year to keep inventory up as the year progresses, so we can avoid a huge buying frenzy going into the holidays. If you have most of your expenses paid by November 15, all the money you earn in the next six weeks is yours rather than going to pay bills.
Always take advantage of trade show specials, too. A POS helps you buy Halloween and Christmas at a spring show because you know your sales from the year before. You can enjoy that 15-percent-off show special instead of paying full price later on. You won't pay for the items until they ship, but you have received the discount and you can budget for those expenses. Earlier this year I had a rep tell me if I ordered my Christmas ornaments by March 31, I would get last year's pricing. Thanks to my POS, I was able to order one of my bestsellers in a snap, with better pricing. I'm way ahead of the game!
Always look for deals. In this day and age, many deals come via email, so take advantage when you can. Free shipping or discounted product always helps your bottom line.
I also plan one or two events each month, and they really help bring in cash during the slow months. I recently introduced monthly demonstration days as one of my events because I have products I know will sell better if we demonstrate how they work. When the product is made locally, I invite the company to come demonstrate the product themselves.
Q: HOW DO YOU DETERMINE THE MARKUP FOR your merchandise? Which products should stick to the vendor's suggested retail price and which can be sold above keystone?
A: How to price product is a great topic for all store owners. There are so many fixed overhead costs we can't control. However, setting a price for the products we sell is one place we do have control.
When investigating any product you would like to carry, be sure to determine if selling them at the suggested retail price (SRP) will generate enough money to both pay your bills and make a profit. Many products in the health and beauty industry have SRPs, but most of what I carry in my store, other than books, doesn't come with an SRP. If I had to work with a 50-percent markup (keystone), or even less, I would not be able to stay in business. The days of keystone pricing are gone for independent stores. I believe each store needs to determine a minimum mark up (MMU) that will allow them to cover their overhead costs, payroll, and shrinkage, with some left over for profit.
To determine your MMU, there are things to keep in mind. For instance, the flexibility of purchasing small quantities of different items through a distributor may come with a higher cost and less discount for you to work with. You'll then need to determine if the ease in purchasing small quantities outweighs your smaller profit.
In order to set your MMU, it is necessary to determine the perceived value to your customers. If the product is something they can buy down the street or at the grocery store for less than what you need to sell it for, then perhaps you need to decide if you want to carry that product.
My bottom-line MMU for any item is 2.3. If I pay $10 wholesale for an item, its minimum retail price needs to be $23, and the retail price could go up from there. If I don't feel I can get that price, I may consider lowering the retail price a little. Some categories of product allow for a greater markup, such as jewelry, crystals, and incense. For jewelry, the industry norm is 3 times the cost. Tumbled stones can be as much as 6 times their cost.
Q: WHAT DOES THE TERM "INVENTORY TURN" mean, and how do I measure it? Is there an industry standard I should shoot for? I also would love to know what merchandise categories have the best inventory turns?
A: In accounting, an inventory turnover is explained by figuring out the cost of goods sold (net sales) and dividing it by the average inventory. A simple way of understanding inventory turns is to determine how many times per year you actually sell through the wholesale value of all the merchandise you have in your shop. If your inventory value right now is $100,000 wholesale, once you sell $100,000 you have accomplished an inventory turn.
Experts say that for a shop to be profitable, it should have at least three inventory turns per year, and even that might not be enough depending on expenses. That Means if your inventory value is $100,000, your yearly sales would need to be $300,000 for your shop to be doing well.
Q: DO YOU KNOW AN EASY FORMULA A NON-FINANCIAL PERSON CAN use to calculate their break-even point? I have been in business a few years and would like to figure out if and when I realistically can afford to draw a salary.
A: We are direct women. We have been told by our small business consulting clients that we offer a tough "slap in the face" when it comes to many of our answers. This is one of those moments. It is important to value your time, talent, and vision with a salary. You must learn to value yourself before you can truly value the people who work with you and for you. It is a good sign for your business future that you are planning to pay yourself.
Hire a professional accountant today with specific experience in small business. Happily pay them. Learn everything you can from them and ask every question you can think to ask. You'll never regret the expense or the time you spent with them.
With that said, here is what you need to know. There are four basic numbers to calculate to determine your break-even point: You need to know your fixed costs, sales revenue, average gross profit for each sale, and average gross-profit percentage. Once you capture these numbers, you can divide your estimated fixed costs by your gross profit percentage to determine the amount of sales revenue you'll need to break even. If your fixed costs, for example, are $3,000 per month and your expected profit margin is 65 percent, your break-even point is $4,615 in sales revenue per month ($3,000 divided by .65).
Many business owners are bad at capturing ALL expenses. If you don't capture all your expenses, your break-even calculations won't be accurate. This is a good time to find three sample business-expense templates. Go through them by line item, checking off all possible expenses. Easy, right? Not so much. This is why we strongly encourage you to hire a professional.
The variables during the start-up years are very hard to consider. Will You reach your projected sales? Will your expense projections hold? Have you captured all possible expenses? Have you considered the costs of employees and all their potential associated expenses?
Q: I FEEL MY STORE AND THE gifts I carry have a timeless appeal, but I "get" that it's useful to stay current with trends in order to attract new customers and inspire repeat visits. What business and consumer trends are you paying attention to right now, and in general, how do you stay on top of trends that affect your success in business?
A: What a great question! As store owners and decision makers, we could spend all our waking time researching trends, reading marketing websites, searching for new product, establishing ideal product mix. However, I believe there are several manageable ways to stay on top of trends that do not consume all your time.
1) Trade and consumer magazines. Of course, since you're reading this, you're getting one of the best trade publications out there. Retailing Insight offers the latest ideas for product, business education, and marketing ideas. While you are thinking about magazines, be sure you regularly look at the publications your customers are reading. Real Simple is one of my favorites. Regional magazines are also a great resource for your store.
2) Trade organizations. COVR (Coalition of Visionary Resources) is the trade group by and for store owners, artists, and vendors that service the conscious-living market. Several Shop Local organizations offer ideas and support for small retailers. AMIBA (American Independent Business Alliance) is a national organization, and many cities have local organizations.
3) Trade shows. There are trade shows every month all over the country. (Editor's note: You can find a comprehensive listing at www.retailinginsight.com.) In the body-mind-spirit market, INATS, G&LW Gem Shows, ACRE, and the Natural Products Expos are all great choices. There, you will find the newest products as well as old standbys. Larger shows such as NY NOW, AmericasMart in Atlanta, and the Dallas Market Center have a wide range of exhibitors, many of which may not be appropriate for your store. However, these shows are increasing their vendors for Fair Trade, handmade, and green products.
4) Publisher and vendor catalogs and sales reps. More and more companies are making their catalogs available online to the trade. Often they have sales representatives who can work with you in your store or at shows. I often will have my team look through catalogs to get ideas of what we may want to order for a season, or to add to our regular lines. This is also a way to see what is trending enough for companies to devote time and money to produce new product. Book-publisher catalogs, especially front list (upcoming titles), tell us what topics are trending by the titles being published. Review these often.
5) Other stores. I find it important to visit independent stores in my area regularly. I often will notice similar colors, patterns, and product that I note and keep an eye on. I also like to see what lines are being carried so I don't miss something I should have noticed, and I don't spend money on something that is already well represented in my area. Don't shy away from stores that are not like yours, especially big-box stores and discounters like Marshall's, TJ Maxx, and other off-price sellers. Your customers are probably shopping there, so it's important to know what has been closed out by vendors and publishers. You will be shocked to see product on your own shelves at full price being offered in these stores at greatly discounted prices.

Q: Trivial Fundamental Group Lets say $X$ is a path connected space. Now we know that any loop on any point $x_0$ can be transferred over to any other point $x_1$. It is claimed that $\pi_1(X)=0$. I understood that there is only one homotopy class here, but what I don't understand is why $\pi_1(X)=0$. We can design the space $X$ in such a way that the origin is not part of it. Still the book (Algebraic Topology by Hatcher) claims it is zero. Why? Also why it is just a single number. Also take the following instance.
I can design a path connected space which is NOT nullhomotopic, e.g. a square with a hole in the middle. Then not every loop can be shrunk to a point, hence just a single point can not be part of homotopy class.
What I am getting wrong here.

A: The fundamental group of a path connected space is not necessarily trivial. What Hatcher says is given a path connected space then the fundamental group is independent of the base point you consider.
In your example you can homotopy the square with a puncture to $S^1$ which has fundamental group $\mathbb{Z}$ (homotopy equivalence preserves fundamental group).

Cakephp version 3 have a nice ORM. When using the cakephp/orm, it may be nice to integrate cakephp/migration than any other migration libraries, even though it uses phinx under the hood.
Lets see how we can install and integrate cakephp/migration in our application.
The dev-master is currently passed for we need the latest version of master branch. Before this pull request, it was having dependency on cakephp/cakephp, which is not needed.
You may notice the constant CACHE. We can get rid of constants if needed. Normally I copy portions of config/app.default.php and keep in /config/app.php file which uses some of these constants.

Why 5G auction won't hold – NCC
Nigerian Communication Commission logo
By Temitayo Jaiyeola
The Nigerian Communications Commission has revealed that only Airtel Network Limited has emerged as a sole bidder for its 3.5GHz spectrum band for 5G deployment in the nation.
Based on this, there shall be no auction as Airtel would be assigned one of the available lots of 100 MHz TDD Spectrum in the 3.5 GHz band for the NCC's reserve price of $273.60 million.
The commission stated this in a statement on Wednesday.
Telco rolls out 5G in Lagos, Kano, others
'Internet subscriptions rose to 154.28 million in 2022'
Smartphone availability to drive 5G adoption – Report
According to it, by the close of business on Monday, December 5, 2022, only two companies had expressed interest in the auction of its 3.5GHz spectrum band, but only one paid its required intention to bid deposit.
The companies were Airtel and Standard Network and Connections Limited.
It said, "However, only Airtel paid the Intention to Bid Deposit as stipulated in the Information Memorandum, whereas, Standard Network sent an email appeal for the deadline to be extended by 12 working days which was not acceptable in view of the auction timetable.
"Having met all the provisions in the IM, Airtel has, therefore, emerged as the sole Bidder. Consequently, there shall be no further bidding and the Commission will proceed to the assignment stage in line with the published Information Memorandum guiding the licensing process."

In 2015, the American Dental Association (ADA) published guidelines that advised AGAINST the use of antibiotics prior to dental procedures in patients with orthopedic implants due to the lack of evidence associating dental procedures with prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) and the absence of data supporting a benefit of antibiotics.
Over 1 million hip and knee replacements are performed in the United States each year. The reported risk of infections ranges from 0.3% to 8.3%. Although dental procedures may result in transient bacteremia, there is no controlled evidence to suggest an association between bacteremia following dental procedures and prosthetic joint infection. Lingering historical concerns have led to inconsistent practices in giving antibiotics before a dental hygiene visit.
In an attempt to reconcile practice inconsistencies, the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) and the ADA published Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) for antibiotics prior to dental procedures in patients with orthopedic implants. In addition, the AAOS/ADA AUC have been translated into an online tool to facilitate antibiotic decision assessment.
The online AUC tool accounts for 64 clinical scenarios and in most cases (61%) advises AGAINST the use of antibiotics prior to a dental procedure. In the remaining scenarios antibiotics are deemed reasonable (27%) and only 12% of cases, based on risk factors, such as underlying severe immunosuppression or history of PJI are antibiotics recommended.
The AAOS/ADA inventory is available on the AAOS website and may be a valuable tool to target those individuals who antibiotics prior to dental procedures is NOT recommended and reduce the burden of unnecessary antibiotic exposure.
- Did you know that tooth enamel is stronger than bone? In fact, it's the hardest substance in the human body. After years of wear and tear and thinning enamel, teeth won't be as strong as they once were, and enamel can develop craze line, which are very minor cracks on the surface of teeth.
Although not structurally worrisome, craze lines can be traps for bacteria and minuscule food particles that can stain teeth. Luckily, bonding is a quick, economical, and durable fix. Using a natural looking tooth-colored resin, we cover the tooth (or teeth) and fill the fissures and instantly restore your smile. Give us a call to see how we can help.
It's not just your teeth that are on display when you smile; it's also your gums. For a smile to look appealing, there needs to be a frame of healthy pink tissue to set off those pearly whites. But just as there can be cosmetic issues with teeth, the shape or condition of the gums, too, can create an aesthetic problem. If you feel the appearance of your gums is in any way detracting from the appeal of your smile, we can help with a variety of in-office surgical procedures.
Problem: Too Much Gum Tissue. A smile can look "gummy" when excessive gum tissue covers more of the enamel surface of a tooth's crown (upper portion) than normal.
Solution: Crown Lengthening. This is a procedure in which gum tissue (and rarely but sometimes a small amount of bone tissue) is removed to expose more tooth surface.
Problem: Not Enough Gum Tissue. Sometimes your gums can shrink down (recede), exposing some of a tooth's root — which is more yellow than the enamel surface of the tooth.
Solution: Gum Grafting. There are various grafting procedures that can be used to cover exposed roots by moving gingival (gum) tissue from one site in the mouth to another. Sometimes laboratory-processed donor tissue can even be used to minimize the surgery.
Problem: Uneven Gum Line. This means that some teeth are covered by more gum tissue than others, which can make a smile seem off-kilter.
Solution: Gum tissue can be recontoured (reshaped) for a very pleasing effect with either conventional surgery or the newer dental laser technology.
All of the above procedures can be performed at the dental office — usually with only a local anesthetic (numbing shot). In fact, for laser surgery you may need only a topical anesthetic gel. An examination is required to determine whether conventional or laser treatment is in your best interests. Whatever your cosmetic gum surgery needs may be, the procedures are routine and predictable — and they can work wonders for your smile!

AU 2030: Colin Saldanha | American University Washington D.C.
CAS professor Colin Saldanha is chair of the Biology Department and a member of the Center for Behavioral Neuroscience.
Through scientific inquiry, older ideas can be expanded, re-examined, or completely refuted. Biologist Colin Saldanha gets animated when discussing paradigm-shifting moments.
He remembers when people thought of estradiol—a form of estrogen—as just a hormone for the female reproductive system. We now know that estradiol is not only present in males, but it's a critical component of their brains.
"It's actually what makes the brain male in mammals. But it's also important for a lot of other behaviors, including mood, learning, memory, balance, and the response to stress," says Saldanha, an American University professor, chair of the Biology Department, and a member of the Center for Behavioral Neuroscience.
Since scientists have ascertained that estradiol may protect—or fail to protect—capacities like learning and memory, this research could have implications for neurodegenerative diseases that afflict millions of people. Everything from Alzheimer's to Parkinson's to aging might be better understood.
Saldanha cautions that the human applications of his research are yet to be determined. But as he and his colleagues amass this knowledge, they're helping to decode the mysteries of the mammalian brain.
As part of its AU 2030 initiative, the university has invested resources in the research area of neuroscience.
"These synaptic connections are extraordinarily specific. They have to be. If you're going to try to control a specific behavior, there has to be a very specific electrochemical circuit that conducts this information," he says.
His initial National Institutes of Health grant was to study this phenomenon in songbirds. Through several cycles of funding, Saldanha and his team examined estradiol's core function. They learned that after a songbird's brain injury, certain cells that normally do not synthesize estradiol do exactly that. And they do it within 24 hours of the trauma.
Essentially, the songbird brain is treating itself in a way that the human brain cannot. For example, once a human being starts to show signs of having a stroke, it's highly recommended that people rush that person to a hospital emergency room. That's because the stroke has probably been occurring undetected for a while, Saldanha says.
Yet that just doesn't happen with the songbird. Its ability to synthesize estrogens rapidly after brain trauma completely eliminates that wave of degeneration.
"These animals have evolved a rapid response to brain trauma that we've lost," he says.
If you're just relying on what you cobbled together in high school biology, some of these findings might seem surprising. If humans are further along on the evolutionary chain, why are birds better at treating themselves? Well, mammalian aptitudes across species are not so clear cut.
Saldanha's research lab works with songbirds to learn more about people. The group is also now using rodents, since they're closer to—and likely to provide a better template for—humans.
He also touts observing "extreme biology" to find out how animals survive in extraordinary places. Saldanha points to bar-headed geese, which migrate over the Himalayas twice a year.
Saldanha was born in Bombay, India. Suffering from a dislocated hip in 8th grade, he ended up in a body cast and suddenly had reading time. Someone gave him the James Herriot animal-focused novel All Things Bright and Beautiful, and he subsequently consumed everything Herriot ever wrote.
With his interest in biology ignited, he eventually came to the U.S. for undergrad at Gustavus Adolphus College in Minnesota. He later earned an M.A., M.Phil., and Ph.D. from Columbia University in New York.
During his post-doc years at UCLA, he and his wife were active participants and supporters of choral music. They still travel during vacation periods, but he doesn't have much time for singing anymore. Yet even if he's abandoned shower singing, he's still left with boundless thoughts about science and nature.
"Those moments happen, right? But they're not 'a ha' moments. They're mostly questions," he says.
Others scientists have pondered the woodpecker conundrum before, he says. But his question still provides a window into his curious mind, one that's flourished at AU.


This presentation will explore the potential benefits of process development and automation for application lifecycle management (ALM). The current version, ALM 2.0, describes a vision for the application development infrastructure that provides functional integration of the software development lifecycle from high-level customer requirements to code check-in, testing, release and deployment. This talk will address the potential of ALM 2.0 to improve collaboration and productivity through cross-functional process automation. To illustrate the issues, a specific example will be presented involving SCRUM software development supported by Microsoft's Visual Studio ALM toolset including Team Foundation Server (TFS). The presentation will describe the "out-of-the-box" high level workfl! ows, how these can be adapted and automated to facilitate implementation and reduce process overhead. The presentation will show TFS 2008 and a live demonstration of the new TFS 2010 features.

Robustness or insensitivity is a desirable property of decisions; however, most texts on robustness and/or sensitivity analysis do not define it precisely. A broad literature in this field concentrates on robust design or decisions (including robust optimization). This paper focuses on robustness testing, that is, checking whether a design has actually resulted in robust properties of the system if some of basic assumptions are changed. We propose a general framework of such robustness testing and show that robustness is a property of the relation between three (classes of) models: a basic model of the decision situation, a second model of possible perturbations of the first model, and a model of implementation of the decision, optionally taking into account some measurements of the impact of perturbations. Typical approaches to robustness or sensitivity analysis assume tacitly that the first two models can be combined and analyze parameters deviations in one combined model. However, the role of the first two models can be asymmetric if some optimization of the decision is performed on the first model. We extend this framework, intended originally for single criteria (scalar) optimization to multiple criteria (vector) optimization. The proposed approach is illustrated by diverse examples.

Stocks to Buy / Buy Intel Stock on Weakness
Buy Intel Stock on Weakness
Intel's outlook is improving, making INTC stock attractive
November 22, 2021	 By Chris Lau, InvestorPlace Contributor	Nov 22, 2021, 10:47 am EST	 November 22, 2021
Intel's (NASDAQ:INTC) Mobileye gets very little attention. The unit develops self-driving cars and advanced driver-assistance systems. As electric-vehicle stocks enrich speculators, INTC stock is stuck. The chip giant could reduce its reliance on the personal computer market and turn investors' attention to Mobileye; then its shares could rise as those of Ambarella (NASDAQ:AMBA) did.

But that scenario is a dream. For now, Intel is jump-starting its desktop chips in an effort to catch up to Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD). In the near-term, AMD will be the top, high-end, gaming chip supplier. Intel, however, is well-positioned to grow its market share in the budget and mainstream markets.
Alder Lake Will Lift INTC Stock
Earlier this month, Intel launched a refresh to its CPUs. The Core i9 12900K is getting rave reviews. Investors should read reviewers' praise for Intel's refreshed lineup. For the upcoming holiday season and into 2022, there's a good chance that consumers will upgrade and pick Intel over AMD.
PC Gamer gave Intel's 12900K a score of 89%. The site said the chip has great single-threaded performance, improved multi-tasking ability, and is the best support platform for DDR5 and PCIe 5.0.
DDR5 is the company's next-generation memory chip, and investors expect demand for the product, which is as good as AMD's competing offerings, to accelerate. Gamers need those faster chips to get the most from their CPUs and graphics cards.
The DDR5's architecture has more cores, bandwidth, and speed than its predecessors. It is Intel's first chip on the 7 nm process node . The company's departure from the 14nm process node is long overdue. For many years the process nodes of Intel's products consistently shrank, decreasing their production cost and increasing their performance.
Now Intel is taking a different approach. It added both P-cores, or Performance Cores, and E-Cores, or Efficient cores, to its CPUs. Gamers want more P-Cores and clock speeds as high as 5.2GHz. Intel has an edge over AMD as these features minimize the latency of Intel's chips.
Intel built the E-cores by utilizing its legendary Atom architecture that uses comparatively little power. As a result, the E-Cores will increase the performance of multi-threaded CPUs and gaming CPUs.
Gaming Stocks
Investors can also consider buying shares of Corsair Gaming (NASDAQ:CRSR) alongside Intel stock. Corsair recently posted strong, full-year 2021 revenue guidance. It expects net revenue in the range of $1.825 billion to $1.925 billion and EBITDA, excluding certain items, of $190 million to $205 million.
While supply constraints hurt Corsair's outlook, the high-end gaming supplier offers solutions powered by the chips of AMD and Intel. Look for Corsair's customers to pick the Intel-powered systems, validating this article's bullish stance on Intel.
Of the 22 analysts covering Intel stock, 12 have a "neutral" or "hold" rating. The analysts have an average 12-month price target of $53.81 on the shares, TipRanks reported.
Investors should ignore the analysts' cautious outlook. Unless speculators panic sell tech names in general, INTC stock is unlikely to fall further. Its trailing price-earnings ratio is below ten times, and the stock pays a healthy dividend of $1.39 annually, which works out to a yield of 2.8%.
It will take a few months for consumers to appreciate Intel's Alder Lake chip. As more gamers praise the product, the sales of the chip will rise.
Intel has fooled hopeful investors before each of its earnings reports. The stock usually rallies in anticipation of guidance increases by the chipmaker,. but falls when Intel lowers its guidance and reports production or research and development delays.
Those days are probably over. Intel's leadership has improved due to the appointment of its new CEO, Patrick Gelsinger His leadership of VMware (NYSE:VMW) for eight years has given him relevant software experience.
With few technology stocks on sale, Intel is the exception. It has disappointed investors many times in the past. Those days are probably over, due to its new CEO. Intel lags AMD in certain areas, but Intel will thrive as it meets the needs of the mainstream and budget markets.

Step Four: Avoid Relationship Talk
Your Ex Girlfriend Is Testing You And Your Actions Are Under Her Microscope

Neighbors who said they're also household friends with the victims recognized the Facebook profile of the suspect. The profile reveals over the previous couple of days, he made public posts saying he had been having a tricky time with his breakup. My kids I had for 12 years have gone from my loving duaghters to my ostersized children and I now feel like I even have no selection and no hopes of ever having them again.
Is it OK to contact your ex?
Most experts agree: you should not reach out to your ex unless you hope to salvage a treasured friendship. The impulse to reach out to an ex, whether it is because you still have feelings for them, you are seeking comfort and familiarity, or you simply want to know how they are doing, is often a bad idea.
Do not enable the youngsters to be introduced into the middle of grownup points. It is unfair and they're pressured to selected sides and begin to lose their innocence.
Another method during which girls set boundaries was by not allowing their assailants into their homes. Twelve assailants used opportunities presented by parenting time schedules to aim to regulate their ex-wives, mostly heated affairs app via emotional abuse. Emotionally abusive tactics included undermining the mom's confidence as a mother or father; playing "thoughts video games;" and verbally degrading her.
When the other half continues to be a nasty co-parent you just need to keep attempting to do your best to be a great mother or father. There isn't any good method to be determine the way to punish your kids in each scanario but these mother and father that don't punish are literally hurting their kids in the long term greater than serving to.
Eight of these women wanted to have custody and parenting time orders changed, 4 of whom had been successful, and one lady wanted the court docket to make her ex-husband comply with current courtroom orders . Nineteen ladies, with a mean age of forty years , were included on this analysis. Seventeen of the women were White, one was Black, and one was Latina. Fifteen mothers reported the court docket had mandated a parenting time plan for the non-custodial father or mother, of which thirteen were fathers and two were moms. The court ordered that two of the non-custodial fathers have supervised parenting time.
Does post mean before of after?
Definition for post (5 of 5)
a prefix, meaning "behind," "after," "later," "subsequent to," "posterior to," occurring originally in loanwords from Latin (postscript), but now used freely in the formation of compound words (post-Elizabethan; postfix; postgraduate; postorbital).
To make matters worse, most courtroom officers speak really badly about single mother and father whereas praising deadbeats "for attempting". Another consumer who fled her abusive ex husband, ended up bringing her youngsters around a jealous lady that hit her youngsters whereas the father did nothing and harmed his own kids for telling him about his girlfriend. The mother expressed this in court docket with police stories and the magistrate was indignant and refused to modify the visitation. She informed the mother that she would be imprisoned for talking up for her youngsters and withholding her kids from being in a harmful house.
I have all my old computer systems and exhausting drives that has these information on them.
It has a quantity as a signature from Microsoft.
What I would love to be able to do is to PROVE, somehow, that he has been doing this.
I even have seen that there's a certificate associated with these suspicious recordsdata.
I know they should see him as a result of he is their Dad, but it's so exhausting!!! It's at all times a tragic situation when parents can't get along. I'm the lucky step-mom that my husband's ex hates. We've tried time and time once more to reason together with her but we get nowhere. We presently got here across a unique type of parenting, that we really feel might just help, it's known as PARALLEL PARENTING. We're going to offer it a attempt to hope that the situation betters, for the sake of our daughters.
How do you say the past?

While many of those techniques are felony, some aren't, however nonetheless caused emotional distress to mothers and sent the message that their assailants may get to them at any time. Despite the courtroom initially appearing in methods these two women believed to be of their youngsters's best pursuits, each women expressed the belief that the courtroom would not continue to act in this method in the future. For Meredith, this was as a result of the court docket had already acted towards what she believed to be her kids's greatest interests by restoring the joint custody arrangement.
Fear that advocating for his or her youngsters could backfire prevented some moms from accessing the courtroom and possibly gaining increased safeguards for their children. However, mothers believed that these information indicated that spending time with these fathers was not within the youngsters's greatest pursuits. This qualitative research examined ladies's responses to abuse committed by IPV-perpetrating ex-husbands with whom they'd undergone custody disputes.
How do you say ex student?
usage: alumnus (in Latin a masculine noun) refers to a male graduate or former student; the plural is alumni. An alumna (in Latin a feminine noun) refers to a female graduate or former student; the plural is alumnae.
The courtroom acknowledged the chance of kidnapping and pondered fitting the ex-husband with an digital tether to monitor his location. However, the choose in the end decided not to reinstate the father's parenting time as a result of there were firearms, which he was legally prohibited from accessing, at the proposed site. Vanessa believed that if the firearms have been faraway from the property, the father could be granted parenting time despite the risk of kidnapping.
There could be time she tells me to not give the youngsters this or that and then later I would see on her fb account a picture of the youngsters having what she advised me not to give them. Other times I feel prefer it's a joke being played on me, if she is mad at me she would block me on her fb account and after she calm down inside per week or two add me again on, all that is stressing me out. I made lots of mistake and I know I trigger her lots of pain once we were a couple, but I am attempting to vary and be a better particular person.

What Does MVR Mean In Baseball?
By Jonathan Roussel
Ever wondered what the MVR stat on the scoreboard means?
In baseball, the MVR stat stands for Mound Visit Remaining and as you can guess, it refers to the number of times managers, coaching staff, and other players on the offensive team are allowed to approach the mound to meet with their pitcher.
Of course, it's a bit more nuanced than that. Since 2016, a limit has been set to how many mound visits are allowed in MLB. If you're new to baseball or you're a life-long fan just tuning in, stick around and we'll fill you in on all details about the MVR baseball stat.
What are mound visits for?
Team strategy
For all teams, It's all about strategy. During a mound visit, the pitcher convenes very briefly with the coach and other teammates to discuss what's the best way to go about playing against the hitter and whether or not the pitcher needs a substitution.
Time saver
From the team's standpoint, mound visits are key for their game plan, but for the MLB, it is more about making games shorter.
Before 2016, mound visits didn't have an official time limit, so, in addition to pitch clocks and 7-inning games for doubleheaders, they've cut mound visits down to a few 30-second windows so that games would last approximately 2 hours, 45 minutes instead of 4 hours or so.
Can't drop those World Series TV ratings now, can we?
On that note, you ought to know that teams have a limited number of visits, but not every meeting at the hill counts against the total allowed to each team. It will depend on who visits the pitcher and for what purpose. Let's go over the rules, so you'll know what I mean.
Clean cleats
Pitchers rely on good footing. They may expend one of their visits to have the gunk cleaned out of their cleats.

So how many mound visits are allowed in MLB?
As of 2020, each team has 5 mound visits in a nine-inning game. They get additional visits once for every extra inning.
If a team is out of mound visits, the umpire may grant a quick one to allow the catcher to clarify a cross-up with the pitcher. That's more of a safety concern than anything else. If the catcher expects a low pitch and the pitcher goes high, it could result in an injury.
The coaching staff may approach the mound only once per pitcher and once per inning, or twice if they mean to substitute the pitcher.
In other words, the coach or the manager can go and check on their pitcher, and if a substitution is needed, they can leave the mound, tell the umpire, and go back to the hill to bench the pitcher. They've been to the mound twice in the same inning, but it still counts as a single visit. If they were to visit the pitcher a second time without calling for a substitution, the pitcher might be benched for the rest of the game.
Once granted by the umpire, visits start the moment the coach steps out of the dugout. Then, they have 30 seconds to go to the mound and talk to the pitcher. If they return to the dugout before the time's up, the visit is considered to be over when the coach exits the circle around the pitcher's mound.
A couple more MVR exceptions
We've already described a couple of cases that don't count as mound visits:
Switching pitchers in case of injury or exhaustion
Catchers refreshing signs with the pitcher in case of a cross-up
However, there are other cases where free visits may be granted, for example, when the opposing team switches their batter for a pinch hitter. Then, the umpire may grant a quick free exchange between the catcher and the pitcher.
Infielders may also approach the mound to use the scraper to clean the gunk off their cleats, and it won't count against their MVR stat, especially during the rainy season.
A quick mound visit may be granted during an unanticipated halt of play without expending one of their mound visits, most commonly whenever a fan makes it to the field. While the security team gets everything under control, the coach may quickly discuss strategy with the pitcher and other players.
Where did the MVR system come from?
Mound visits have always been around, but until 2016 they were pretty much unlimited. Visits would only count for coaches and managers, and since no limit on the amount or duration of the had been established, any player could halt the action indefinitely to check on the pitcher, and it would still not count as a visit. The only limitation was that if a coach or manager made a second mound visit in a single inning, it had to be with the sole purpose of substituting the pitcher.
Naturally, that means longer games, so as of 2016, to keep the game going, visits can only be 30 seconds long, and exchanges between the pitcher and anyone teammate count as a visit, not just coaches and managers; thus making teams choose their visits more carefully.
Forward to a post-2018 world, and now teams have a maximum of 6 visits to the mound in a nine-inning game and one extra visit for each additional innings. A year later, they brought it down to five and allowed free visits between the pitcher and one infielder at a time so long as it didn't incur into a substitution.
Here's the rub though, limiting mound visits hasn't shortened games the way the MLB expected, if anything ‒ they're longer. Baseball-Reference estimated the length of a full baseball game to be two hours and fifty-eight minutes back in 2001. 20 years later, your average baseball game can last up to three hours and eight minutes approximately.
The Last Inning
So, what does MVR stand for in baseball? It stands for Mound Visits Remaining, and it refers to how many mound visits are allowed to the coaches, managers, and other players to talk to the pitcher. This system was meant to make mound visits less disruptive.
The rules on the MVR stat have been amended a couple of times since 2016, and some exceptions apply, but we can sum it all up as five 30-seconds visits per nine-inning game for each team, plus free visits for each extra innings. Substitutions and getting cross-ups straight are granted as free visits and don't count against the team's MVR stat.
That's pretty much it. Another stat to keep in mind during every baseball game you go to from here on in.
If you're watching from the bleachers, it's a nice piece of information to have. Now, If you're playing, you best keep track of your team's MVR, though. You'll want to use them sparingly and strategically!

They will be accosted by Muslim men and women who are paid to 'study' there and whenever a Jew appears who seems to be not a tourist but one who seeks to pay quiet respect to the site of his/her former Temples (Israel forbids prayer in any form or even the reading from Bibles or other religious texts), they will obstruct, scream, push and shove and otherwise seek to creat a confrontation and provoke a Jewish response, even if in self-defense, so as to get that Jew removed and better, to have the police charge him with a crime and best, have him or her banned for a period from the site. A full riot would be a real achievement. In fact, all non-Muslims suffer the same discrimination.
Meanwhile, Israel allows Gaza Muslims to pray there on Fridays and all they do is wave banners and flags, rally on behalf of Hamas, burn a French flag recently, or otherwise raise mayhem and incitement.
Jews cannot ride the roads of the Palestinian Authority.
Jews cannot purchase property from a 'Palestinian Arab'.
An Arab who sells property to a Jew can be sentenced to death.
Jews cannot reside in Palestinian areas.
If you are caught up with the meme of Ferguson = Palestine, you'll regret it. It will only result in Americans resenting the Intifada methods imported now into the United States and you'll be supporting an oppressive regime not only against Jews but its own populace: women, children, journalists, bloggers and Christians who suffer a loss of human rights and civill liberties.
Don't be fooled.

Inflation and recession have combined with industrial layoffs to shatter the financial equilibrium of Chicago, Philadelphia, New York City, Cleveland, Buffalo, and Washington, D.C. A new phenomenon is now superimposed, the skyrocketing revenues (mostly in the form of severance taxes and royalties) to be collected by the oil-producing states as a result of oil price decontrol. The Northeast-Midwest Institute has recently published a study estimating that from 1980 to 1990 the states of Alaska, Texas, California, Louisiana, Wyoming, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Kansas will collect increased tax revenues amounting to $115 billion.
Alaska just abolished its income tax and is paying cash dividends to its citizens. Like a domstic version of OPEC, the oil-producing stats can use their vast revenues to lower other taxes, increase services, attract industry by almost unlimited means; their economies as well as the economies of surrounding states will get significant boosts.
And, like a domestic version of the third world, the Northeast and midwest, importers of fuel, needy for additional federal assistance, will bear the burden since, after all, this is a zero sum game. It is really not very difficult to see where this inevitably leads. Half the country nearly bankrupt, many of its major cities pools of unemployment and unrest, adn the other half swimming in oil, industry, adn wealth. This is not the stuff of a union of states. For a union to survive there must be a sense that both burdens and benefits are shared on an equitable basis.
* For the short run, we need a safety net to preclude massive bankruptcies at a time of extreme financial fragility. We need an institution modeled after the Reconstruction Finance Corporation of the 1930s to provide low cost long-term financing to permit those localities and industries in difficulties to weather the next few years.
* For the long run, new permanent revenues must be funneled to the Northeast and Midwest, in the form of direct federal budgetary assistance and incentives for private industry to remain and grow. A possible source of revenue could be created by dedicating a portion of a national gas tax for that purpose.
* A temporary wage/price freeze. I do not believe in a system of permanent wage/price controls. However, recent large labor settlements make it clear that the voluntary guideline program is a total failure. I believe that a temporary freeze, imperfect as it is, could be combined with budget cutbacks to break inflationary expectations and the underlying core rate of inflation.
* It will be impossible to lwoer interest rates meaningfully at home and simultaneously protect the dollar abroad without reducing oil imports. The choice is between a large gasoline tax or rationing. I come down on the side of the gas tax since I believe its revenues should be recycled into the economy. A 50 cent gas tax is a minimum. It will immediately strengthen the dolalr, reduce US consumption and permit the reduction in interest rates that is a necessity.
Neither the Europeans nor OPEC will believe we are serious about conservation with less than $2 per gallon gasoline or unless we institute rationing.
(A) A mechanism for a limited period of wage/price restraint following the expiration of the freeze. Possibly a tax-based incomes policy or other transitional mechanism leading back to a full and free market will be needed for some time and the commission should be charged with that responsibility.
(B) In a more general sense, the commission must recommend an economic strategy for the US for the next two decades. It must do sor for two basic reasons: first, because nowhere in government today does strategic economic planning take place; second, because difficult, controversial policies must originate from nonpolitical, credible bodies, created in an atmosphere of emergency, to generate the political support enabling the President and Congress to act.
It is argued that wage and price controls have not worked in the past. That does not mean, in my judgment, that a temporary freeze in an environment of restraint, could not be successful while overall policies are put in place. It is argued that a gas tax is politically impossible and, if anything, rationing would be easier. But everyone agrees that tax cuts aimed at investment are necessary, increased military expenditures are necessary, balancing the budget is necessary. Those cannot happen without revenues, and rationing will not produce revenue.
We are at a turning point in our economic, social, and political life.It has been coming for a long time and it will take a long time to adjust to the new realities. If the impetus for reexamination does not come from the political leadership seekign solutions, it will come from the citizens demanding them. Democracy no longer involves a social contract by which the minority complies with the will of the majority; consequently there is a clear danger that continued deadlock over many of these issues, or continued application of Band-Aids, will ultimately create social and political upheavals of unforeseeable dimensions.


Hinjewadi Chowk is a locality, which is located in the western part of Pune. This locality is widely known for its IT Park that houses several IT companies. Initially, Hinjewadi was a village, but after the IT Park was built it has now transformed itself into a highly commercialized area. Though this place is highly commercialized, the transportation facilities in this area are pathetic. The inmates of this locality face several road blocks and traffic blocks on a daily basis, during all hours of the day. PMRDA or also known as Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority have shown interest, in building a rail line from this locality to its surrounding localities. This locality has high-security surveillance at all times of the day, whether it is early in the morning or late in the night.
What are fun things I can do when I visit Hinjewadi Chowk?
Vital hills - Vetal hill is a perfect place for the morning walk, exercise. You get fresh air and you will feel you came out of a city, other spots such as Pashan Lake, who garden with dams, nature, and parks, yoga the spa and the skin care.
Hyderabadi dum biryani, Dal Makhani, Butter Chicken, and more are available in several restaurants in the city. Preet Punjabi swad, Madhur Muton Bhakri are some of the most famous restaurants, to get the best food in the city.
One important thing to be noted is that all these places were commonly visited by people on bikes. But the problem some people face is that most of these do have the financial backing to buy a bike. We at Wheelstreet feel is our responsibility, to help people get their hands on a bike. With the help of our rent a bike, get any bike on rent at prices that you would have never imagined. From a Hayabusa on rent to an Activa on rent, we try to provide you all. With the help our Bikie rentals service, we intent to reach a person in the city.

Q: Daemon thread- Use case Daemon Threads provide services for user threads, apart from gc What is another example (case) where a daemon thread can be used? (Any task(logic) that can be inside the run() method of a daemon Thread in practice)

A: Here is a short list of when you may want to use a daemon thread:

*

*Collecting statistics and performing the status monitoring tasks - Sending and receiving network heartbeats, supplying the services to monitoring tools, and so on.

*Performing asynchronous I/O tasks - You can create a queue of I/O requests, and set up a group of daemon threads servicing these requests asynchronously.

*Listening for incoming connections - daemon threads are very convenient in situations like this, because they let you program a simple "forever" loop, rather than creating a setup that pays attention to exit requests from the main thread.

A: Sounds like an assignment question ha ha.
You can also use them for IO because IO operation block and its best to do that in a worker thread.
Also network activity if you are waiting for things to download etc. like the response to a post request.

A: Daemon threads are typically used to perform services for your application/applet (such as loading the "fiddley bits"). The core difference between user threads and daemon threads is that the JVM will only shut down a program when all user threads have terminated. Daemon threads are terminated by the JVM when there are no longer any user threads running, including the main thread of execution.
In short: daemon threads do not keep the program from quitting; user threads keep the program from quitting.

Comparative characteristics of materials for garden furniture on such key parameters as: durability, ease of use and maintenance, resistance to damage.
Durability of wooden garden furniture depends on the properties of wood: the better the mechanical characteristics of the breed, the longer it will serve. Solid rock that is often used in the creation of furniture for the garden includes teak, zebrawood, American white oak and larch.
Resistance to damage depends on the wooden furniture design.
Rollaway wooden furniture has one major drawback – the weak connecting nodes.
All wood furniture is heavy.
Traditional natural materials for wicker furniture are rattan. Rattan has several advantages that will eventually positively affect the appearance of the furniture: rattan is more flexible, has no knots, rattan stems with the same diameter throughout the length.
Any wicker furniture becomes shabby appearance from extreme daily temperatures, frequent changes of cool wet and dry sunny days.
Do not leave the wicker furniture in the open air.
Artificial rattan is a synthetic fiber. It consists of rubber and special additives. This material is environmentally friendly, non-toxic and can withstand extremes of temperature and does not burn in the sun. Artificial rattan are more resistant to fluctuations in weather can easily withstand heat and frost.
Maintenance: synthetic rattan furniture can be washed right out of the hose without fear of damage. However, it should be protected from fire and cigarettes, which can melt the cord and spoil the appearance of the product.
Metal furniture is a leader in durability, vandal resistant and easy care. Metal furniture is made, usually of aluminum or steel. Seats and backs of the chairs are made of cloth, metal, artificial rattan, plastic. Metal can be painted in different shades.
However, metal furniture has some features that should be considered when using: the furniture is heavy and usually does not add up.
Durability: plastic is quite brittle material: scratch and ultraviolet.
An infinite number of colors, ease of use and maintenance are positive qualities of this material.
Wooden pallets can also serve as an excellent basis for creativity! Designers can transform packaging containers into true furniture masterpieces. They have many positive qualities and a very attractive appearance. Wooden pallets can be transformed into magnificent tables, chairs, sofas, and quite roomy drawers. Here you will find a lot of great ideas using such pallets.
Transform the old and unnecessary in useful and interesting is a very exciting process. Many people prefer to give things a new life and not throw it away. The first and easier option to convert the old thing: you can decorate them, to give a new image.
Leading designers have strict requirements for the organization of the space outside the home. Requirements are based on the latest trends of the garden design exhibitions. Today landscape art objects must necessarily be functional. Ornamental grasses are essential elements of modern landscape design.
The easiest way to organize the space for relaxation is a few soft puffs, decorative mattresses or bean bags.

WINNECONNE – A team with 378 rushing yards and eight scores on the ground in a game, including three running backs with over 100 yards, is pretty hard to beat.
That was the case Friday night, as Wrightstown ran over Winneconne 54-27 in a WIAA Division 4 second-round playoff game.
Ben Jaeger led Wrightstown with 20 carries for 139 yards with four scores, including two in each half.
"I give all the credit to our (offensive) line. Our line did everything for me," Jaeger said. "They opened up the holes. I just ran through them and ran my hardest, so I couldn't ask for anything more."
Andrew Pelishek added 17 carries for 115 yards and three touchdowns, including two in the first quarter. Jeremy Van Zeeland had 19 carries for 106 yards, while finding the end zone in the second quarter.
"One hundred percent the offensive line controlling the line of scrimmage and getting a good push every play," Pelishek said. "Just dominating the line for us. They did it all."
Wrightstown scored on its first six drives of the game before halftime.
"Our offensive line dominated the game and our backs ran really hard," Wrightstown coach Steve Klister said. "They were bringing guys from all over and our line just made the correct reads and did a nice job of opening holes for our backs."
After Pelishek scored the first points of the game on a 4-yard run, Winneconne answered as Harrison Roubidoux found Marshal Scheider for a 63-yard touchdown pass.
Following the tie score, Pelishek found the end zone again on Wrightstown's second drive to put the Tigers ahead 13-7.
Jaeger scored on a 55-yard run on Wrightstown's third drive and Van Zeeland ran for a two-point conversion, after Winneconne punted it.
On first play of second quarter, Roubidoux connected with Scheider again for a 49-yard score to narrow the lead to seven points.
Van Zeeland answered back with a 4-yard score to put the Tigers ahead 28-14. Jacob Omitt then scored on the kickoff return for the Wolves.
Pelishek's third touchdown came on the next drive to put Wrightstown in front 35-20.
After Wrightstown recovered a fumble late in the quarter, Will Braeger caught a long pass from Douglas Klister to get it to Winneconne's 2-yard line and set up Jaeger for a score.
Pelishek got an interception on Winneconne's next drive, but Wrightstown missed a long field goal in the closing seconds of the half.
The only score of the third quarter came as Jaeger found the end zone on a 1-yard run to make extend the lead to 27 points. Earlier in the drive, Jaeger caught a 27-yard pass to get it to Winneconne's 8-yard line.
"I think that touchdown right before half, we got the turnover and went down and scored, I think that took some momentum away," coach Klister said about Winneconne's struggle to score in the third quarter. "Getting that score on the board was really big for us."
Scheider scored his third touchdown on a 5-yard pass from Roubidoux early in the fourth quarter. Scheider finished with seven receptions for 195 yards.
Scheider got an interception on Wrightstown's following drive.
Jaeger scored his fourth touchdown later in the fourth quarter to make it 54-27.
Top-seeded Little Chute will host Wrightstown next Friday. The Mustangs beat the Tigers 38-28 in the final game of the regular season.
"We are going to have to execute really well," Klister said. "Little Chute is a heck of a team and we're going to have to play close to flawless to beat them, but I think our guys are up for it."

Thunderbirds creator Gerry Anderson rarities emerge in studio archive
An archive cleared from Bray Studios after Thunderbirds creator Gerry Anderson's production company wrapped up its final series of Terrahawks in the mid-1980s is coming to auction at Surrey firm Ewbank's on November 30.
Tom Derbyshire
Battlehawk used in the production of Terrahawks, approximately 1m long – estimate £4000-6000 at Ewbank's on November 30.
Now valued at around £150,000 in total, it became the property of Julian Bell, a driver and handyman at the Berkshire studios who hid it away for more than 30 years until his death last year.
Among the pieces from Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and Terrahawks are original production puppets for Space Police, an Anderson project for which only one episode was ever made.
However, it was never aired on television before the idea was shelved and transformed into Space Precinct almost a decade later, so the puppets have never been seen in public.
Other previously hidden pieces include the puppet of Officer Cathy Costello, used in the pilot episode of Space Police, along with similar examples for three of the male characters, Officers Tom, Dick and Harry.
The auction also features a surviving puppet head from the original 1960s Captain Scarlet series, and Anderson's personally annotated scripts and storyboards for a series of Thunderbirds that was never filmed.
The way that Anderson and his teams made the programmes means that a great deal of the props, models and sets from series such as Thunderbirds, Stingray and Fireball XL5 never survived. He was always ready to move on to the next project and needed the sets cleared, so he used to give everything away or throw it out.

I wrote previously about my quest for the ideal iPad stand/case/grip, back when I had an iPad 3. Last year, I upgraded to an iPad Air and the search began again. I was an early adopter of the iPad Air and there were not a lot of case or stand options available when It came out. Nine months later, my quest has ended and I found an iPad Air stand, grip, and cover combination that I really love. This series of articles and reviews explains how I got there, or you can skip the saga and go right to the winner.
Since I knew I would want some kind of cover for my new iPad Air on the day I received it, I went ahead and ordered the official Apple iPad Air Smart Cover along with my iPad. I was glad I did, too, because it is one slippery sucker with nothing at all on it! Apple's Smart Cover comes in a glorious shade of red which is what I bought. I've used "knock off" smart covers for my other iPads before and I can attest that Apple's cover does hold up better than the cheap knock-offs. It cleans up well and resists staining. That said, I'm still not sure it's worth the high premium when you could get knock-offs for around $10.
The iPad Air Smart Cover has a new design compared to the Smart Cover for older iPads. Instead of a metal hinge, the new cover has no metal parts that can scratch the iPad. The magnet attachment is encased in the same material as the cover, and the hinge is now a fold. Instead of four folds, the smaller iPad Air cover has only three folds. Having only three folds, it's not as secure as a stand, but I rarely use it as a stand.
I am still using my Smart Cover with the grip/stand solution I found for my iPad Air. It has held up very well for the nine months I've had it, and this new folding hinge style doesn't fray the polyurethane along the edges of the metal hinge like the old style did.
The Apple Smart Cover provides minimal drop protection, but it retains the slim profile of the iPad Air and adds little weight.
The Apple Smart Cover can fold into a stand for landscape viewing, but it's not very stable.
The Apple Smart Cover can be folded into a stand for a low-profile typing position.
