Before we hired Holly our website was very much out of date, and was desperate for a major 'spruce up' to give our company a stronger identity and branding within the industry. It was also incredibly un-user friendly, making it difficult for staff to keep the site up to date and upload or change content as we went along, to keep it fresh.
Holly got on board and completely redesigned our website for us, keeping within the aesthetic that we wanted, but making it stronger and consistent. Holly helped with making the site user friendly, and also educating staff on how to maintain and look after the website with uploading any new content, or any changes we might wish to add or remove along the way.
As well as a complete redesign, we have gained a much more interactive and useable website as users are now able to email or contact us directly and can also report faults through visiting our site. We have a live chat window for users to get in touch and talk to our sales representative on any queries they may have.
What we really appreciate is that Holly is wonderfully friendly and approachable, and fast to respond to any queries we may have. She is very helpful and has always made sure to include advice and directions to help with any future changes we can make going forward.
Now, we have a website that we are proud of and can continually upload content or update the pages with ease… and if we ever have any problems or requests, Holly is just an email away!
Whether you have a query, a project or just want to bounce some ideas about, get in touch with me using this quick enquiry form and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

World of Tanks Review
August 5, 2013Reviewstopmmorpgs
World of Tanks is an action combat MMO that puts players in control of a realistic style tank. The combat is massive, the environment is beautiful, and overall the game is quite fun. WoT is one of the most popular MMO games ever, with over 60 million registered players from all over the world. World of Tanks also has a Guiness Book of World Records award for having a record-breaking 500,000 players online (at the same time) in one server
Developer: Wargaming.net
Type: Free to play MMO Shooter Game
Players: 60 million worldwide
Link: World of Tanks website
The World of Tanks is a free to play MMO that puts players right in the heart of a tank battle. It is known for its massive matches and great customization options. The game is very simple, but it is incredibly difficult to master. World of Tanks is focused solely on PVP and it does not even offer players a PVE or single player mode. This means that the learning curve can be quite high for the newcomers, but with some patience and perseverance, anyone can begin to be a threat.
The tanks in World of Tanks are incredibly detailed. With over 150 armored vehicles to take control of, players will always be able to find something that suits their play style. Each tank is modeled after a real life version. There are several British, German, Soviet, French, and American models available, as well as many others. Once a player purchases a tank, they can begin to customize it to their liking. There are hundreds of customization options, such as deciding how much camouflage a player would like or what barrel type would best help them on the field of battle. The developers have obviously worked very hard to ensure everything is historically accurate and they certainly take the designs of the tanks seriously.
One of the things that make World of Tanks so addicting is it's easy to use controls. Ever beginner gamers can hop onto this MMO and begin playing immediately. Of course, as the combat becomes more advanced, there will be more controls to master. To move, simply use the WASD keys and look around with the mouse. Players will simply aim at their target and click to shoot. The more advanced controls are still easy to get the hang of, but it may take a bit longer to fully understand them. Because the controls are so easy to get the hang of, players can focus on the actual game, rather than trying to find out how to move their tank.
Graphics and Sound
For a free to play game, the graphics of World of Tanks are outstanding. The beautiful landscapes and detailed tank designs help suck the player into the game. The maps are very open, as players must control large tanks. Therefore, players will find themselves in a great environment that makes the experience much more enjoyable. In addition to incredible forests and grasslands, players will also be able to do battle in large cities or small villages. As for the sound of the game, once again, World of Tanks does a fantastic job. The best feeling a player can have in World of Tanks is right after they land a direct shot into the enemy. The loud, satisfying thump never gets old. The tanks also sound very real and it truly gives the player a sense that they are controlling their very own tank.
Of course, the main reason players constantly flock to World of Tanks is because of the combat. Players are thrust into intense 30 vs. 30 matches. The match can be ended by destroying all over your enemies or taking over their base; the choice is yours. One of the greatest things about this game is that no two matches will be the same. Because of all of the customization, you will always be facing different tanks so you strategy will have to change constantly. This keeps the game feeling fresh and exciting so that you will keep coming back for more. World of Tanks does a good job at balancing the game by putting players with similar tank builds together. This means that the higher level players will not be able to destroy the lower level ones.
One of the downsides of having a competitive free to play MMO is the amount of immature players who like to cuss and rant in the chat. This is quite unfortunate but its something that every shooter game struggles with. In fact, there are many players who do enjoy trash talking. Others who do not find this amusing can simply ignore the flaming in chat. If you tend to be annoyed by this, then WoT is not the game for you.
World of Tanks is a polished MMO that has a large following. Seeing as is absolutely free to play, everyone should give this MMO a try. However, do keep in mind that this is definitely for those who enjoy competitive gaming. Those who prefer more a more gentle and kind MMO experience will be turned off by WoT's highly aggressive player community. Having said that, there is a reason why this game has attracted so many players from all over the globe – its easy to get into and great fun.

East African Famine 2017
14 Jul 2017 - 3:16pm
A combination of drought and conflict brews a dangerous recipe for a hunger crisis that leaves more than 25 million people in east Africa – South Sudan, Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia – in a fragile balance between life and death.
Severe and persistent drought has caused widespread deficits in water and pasture, contributing to declining livestock conditions, increased rate of disease outbreaks, rising mortalities and crop production losses.
The drought has triggered movement of people in search for grazing land, water and work, increasing the risk of conflict especially among pastoral and agropastoral communities over scarce resources.
More than 3.5 million children under five-years-old in the region are suffering from acute malnutrition, and are at risk of starvation and death. Children in these unstable conditions are also at risk of violence, exploitation and abuse.
One-and-a-half-year-old Sumaya tries to feed on her mother's milk. Her mother Amandru gently pulls little Sumaya's mouth away from her breast again. Her breasts are empty. It has been more than seven days since she was able to last breastfeed Sumaya.
Amandru is tired — physically, mentally, emotionally.
A blank expression on her face, she stares through the crowd of children, women and men holding pans in their hands, waiting to receive their meal. With not much strength left to wait in the long queue, Amandru and her three children rest on the side of the tent where the meals are being served.
This is the first proper meal Amandru and her children will eat in weeks.
Amandru and her children fled more than 220 kilometers from her village in South Sudan before they reached a refugee reception centre — after about four weeks of walking.
She, little Sumaya and her other two children Ariye, 4 and Madasi, 6, had survived on a bag of beans for many months. During their journey, the family could only afford to share a handful of beans once every two days.
Tens of thousands of families like Amandru's are fleeing their homes to escape a crisis created by fighting, violence and food insecurity.
As for Amandru and her children, the simple hot meal at the reception centre has put a smile back on their faces.
"My only hope is that the world will stand by us so that my children can survive," said Amandru.
Nine-year-old Ali is rushed to Bay Hospital in Somalia, unconscious and severely
dehydrated. Doctors and nurses run to save his life. The boy's eyes are sunken, rolled up. He cannot make any movement and all you cansee is a mild heartbeat. His father wipes tears rolling down his cheeks, as he is anxious and not sure his son will survive.
They have come from a village in Khorile, about 20 kilometres away from Baidoa town in South Central Somalia.
The doctors quickly put two IV lines on his hands for rehydration. Fifteen minutes after receiving 1000ml of hydration, Ali opens his eyes.
"Water, give me water," he says to his father. Fortunately, they made it to the hospital just in time.
Due to the depletion of water sources as a result of severe drought in Somalia, some communities are relying on buying water, the prices of which are spiking beyond the reach of many.
Communities are then forced to resort to unsafe water sources, increasing the risk of water-borne diseases such as Acute Watery Diarrhoea (AWD)/cholera. According to the UN, a total of 7,909 AWD/cholera cases and 196 deaths have been reported in 11 regions (38 districts) in Somalia since the beginning of 2017. Like Ali, there are many more who are dying from drinking contaminated water or are lacking access to this basic necessity of life.
Grandmother deeply grieved after her granddaughter - Mariam fell ill of acute watery diarrhoea. She is receiving treatment at the Cholera Treatment Centre (CTC) supported by World Vision.
Helaule Osman, also nursing his three children, Hussein -10, Mariam -13 and Mohamed -10 who were admitted at the Bayhaaw Cholera treatment centre, had just buried his other two children who succumbed to acute diarrhoea.
"When I brought my children here, they were so weak. They had vomiting and diarrhoea a lot. We don't have any hospital at the village and many people are also sick back there. We met someone in the village who told us about a special hospital in Baidoa that treats this disease and that's how I came here," Helaule explains.
"I had five children, but two have already died. We don't have clean water in the village. What is there is bitter, not even animals can take. The drought is worse than what I have seen in the past," he adds. World Vision and the Ministry of Water and Sanitation Southwest state have established a mobile water quality testing unit.
Since January 2017, the water testing team has tested 196 water points in Baidoa district, finding that 22% were already contaminated. These wells were immediately targeted for chlorination.
Enhance access to nutritious food for children and their families by:
• Providing food assistance
• Distributing nutritional supplements
• Protecting livelihoods
Increase access to clean and safe water for drinking and other household uses by:
• Mobilising water trucks
• Rehabilitation of water points
Improve access to essential primary health services by:
• Setting up mobile clinics
• Providing treatment and immunisation
• Stemming the spread of common communicable diseases
• Timely building of safe emergency shelters
• Strengthening protection services for vulnerable children and women

An advocate for vehicle-free beaches praises some of the last undeveloped places along America's coasts — and why protecting these untamed lands is so important.
Canaveral National Seashore in Florida, one of the last wild beaches in the United States. camera icon Photo © Redwood8/Dreamstime.
I have always had a love affair with the beach — especially wild beaches where the maritime forest ends at the surf, where the horizon is unencumbered by the lights of motels and condominiums, and the Milky Way is the brightest thing in the night sky. Beaches where you can walk for miles without encountering more than a fellow beach walker, collecting shells and cleansing the soul. These kinds of beaches are few and far between.
So many people want to live at the beach, vacation at the beach, play at the beach. I know I am not alone in the pursuit of this experience. It reminds us of the awe of creation and puts us at the edge of the ocean, our planet's most powerful force.
That is why protecting our national seashores is so important. They are among the last undeveloped places along our coasts. These intact natural barrier island systems provide nurseries for fish and other marine life, and their dune systems protect mainland homes and businesses from natural disasters.
Some of the best beaches in our nation are part of the National Park System. They are among the very few places where people can surrounded themselves with natural forces and remarkable unaltered beauty. They are among the last few places left untouched by human hands, giving us a peek into the world before people changed it.
Many national seashores can only be accessed by ferry, providing visitors with that simple pleasure of a beach walk, uninterrupted by motorized vehicles. Here are five vehicle-free beaches where you can experience America's coast without cars, trucks or dune buggies this summer.
1. Shackleford Banks, Cape Lookout National Seashore, North Carolina. Experience what the Outer Banks were decades ago. Accessible only by ferry, Shackleford Banks is a wonderful place to see migrating birds.
2. Santa Rosa Day Use Area, Gulf Islands National Seashore, Florida. Gulf Islands is a National Watchable Wildlife area with incredible sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico.
3. The Great Beach at Point Reyes National Seashore, California. A favorite wintering habitat for elephant seals, which were hunted almost to extinction at the turn of the century, Point Reyes is home to 1,500 to 2,000 of these seals today.
4. Klondike Beach, Canaveral National Seashore, Florida. This is the longest expanse of pristine shoreline in Florida. Backcountry camping is allowed on Klondike beach with a permit.
5. Otis Pike Fire Island High Dune Wilderness, Fire Island National Seashore, New York. The only federally designated wilderness in the state of New York, this undeveloped stretch of coast contains a variety of barrier island ecosystems just a short train ride from Manhattan.
The National Park System includes 10 national seashores that are protected areas where visitors can enjoy recreational activities such as bird watching, kayaking, beach combing and hiking. These seashores also provide critical habitat for migrating birds, nesting turtles, seals and other wildlife. While motorized vehicles are allowed on the beaches of 6 of the 10 national seashores, the National Park Service manages vehicles use to protect both wildlife and the visitor experience.
In my role at NPCA, I help defend these special places to maintain a proper balance between our desire to enjoy the land and our need to keep these last wild places intact and healthy. One of the best ways to protect these incredible places is to encourage other people to experience the wonders of America's national seashores so they, too, will understand their timeless beauty and advocate for them. This summer, I hope you'll find time to share my passion for the natural sounds, unaltered landscapes and powerful forces at work in our nation's seascapes.

Tehran Stock Exchange plunges, baffling investors
Why is Iran's stock exchange falling under President Hassan Rouhani and after the easing of sanctions?

@@meirja
The Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) is making news in Iran for all the wrong reasons. It's falling, and fast. Its main index peaked at 89,500 points on Jan. 5 of this year. Then it started to fall. By Jan. 26, it had fallen to 81,905 points. At one point, its dive was described as "historic."
A loss of 7,595 points within three weeks (almost 7%) is a lot for any stock exchange, especially the TSE, one of the fastest rising in the world. In mid-August 2010, it crossed the 16,000 points threshold and that was considered major news. Now, despite the recent falls, its value is almost 400% higher than then.
What has been particularly amazing about the TSE is that over the last several years its rise has defied many laws of economic gravity.
Perception of an economy's future well-being plays an important part in the investment decisions of potential stockholders and buyers. So when inflation is up, unemployment is rising and tough sanctions are imposed, you would expect the TSE to fall. However, in Iran, the opposite has happened on numerous occasions. For example, on Jan. 23, 2012, the European Union imposed sanctions against Iran's biggest export, oil. In a year, the TSE's main index had risen from 25,540 points on Jan. 25, 2012, to 36,723 points registered on Jan. 27, 2013. That's a total rise of 11,183 points or 43%, during some of the darkest days of Iran's economy under President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
The TSE continued to rise, including immediately after Hassan Rouhani was elected president, as many expected the economy to improve.
And now? In Tehran, hotels rooms are booked solid with European businessmen. There is so little room available that some foreigners have to go to Dubai to arrange business meetings with Iranians. "Sexy" oil contracts are expected to be offered to foreign oil companies. Foreign dignitaries are visiting Iran in higher numbers than at any time during the last eight years, and this is going to increase. Rouhani is being welcomed in Davos, while some of the sanctions against Iran's petrochemical companies are being lifted as part of the Geneva deal. In the middle of all the recent improvement in perceptions about Iran's economy, you would expect the TSE to rise even further. Instead, it tanks. Just what is going on?
Reports from Iran vary. The online publication Tabnak (affiliated with former Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander and presidential candidate Mohsen Rezai) places some of the blame on the rumors it says have caused investors to lose confidence in the TSE. Some rumors suggest that the head of the TSE will be changed, while others suggest some of the other managers at the TSE are in trouble with the authorities. Meanwhile, the Tehran-based Iranian Students' News Agency places the blame on rumors of money laundering as well as uncertainties over raw materials for petrochemical companies.
These are all valid possibilities that could explain the recent fall. So is the possibility that the TSE was ripe for a readjustment after creating a bubble.
However, the question remains: Why is this all happening now? Rumors also existed during the Ahmadinejad era and so did inflation, which hurt many Iranian companies. One could also say that the TSE was also inflated under his term. So why is it that the TSE did not drop then, as its doing now?
Again, there are several factors and assumptions that could explain this.
One of these is that during Ahmadinejad's administrations, there were not many places where Iranians could invest, so they turned to investing in the TSE. This especially includes Iranians with money abroad who were forced to close their bank accounts because of the sanctions and bring their money back to Iran. Some of this money made it to companies listed on the TSE, thus leading it to rise despite the negative perception of the economy back then. Now that Rouhani is in charge and some of the sanctions are being lifted, there are new destinations for investment other than the TSE, thus causing some investors to move their money elsewhere.
Another important factor that should not be overlooked is corruption and insider dealing. According to Transparency International, out of the 175 countries surveyed in 2013, Iran was the 144th least corrupt country (the first, the least corrupt, was Denmark). In fact, Iran became more corrupt in 2013 compared to 2012. Corruption also impacts the TSE, as its management and the government are sensitive to such reports — so much so that a news site in Iran was blocked after it published a story about corruption at the TSE on Sept. 3, 2013. It was only allowed to run again after it agreed to withdraw the claim. At the same time, there have been numerous reports about high levels of corruption during the privatization scheme, which placed some of the country's former publicly owned companies on the TSE.
With corruption and the IRGC being a major player in the TSE through affiliate companies, the possibility that someone is playing with the numbers for their own political and financial benefit cannot be ruled out, either.
The management of the TSE is not transparent. Although it has tremendous potential for growth, the ailment of siyasat bazee, playing politics, that has inflicted Iran's economy in other areas could also impact the TSE's long-term growth and more importantly, its credibility.

Xavier Veilhan. Architectones Barcelona Pavilion
The Barcelona show is something of an intervention, with a diagonal walkway slashing across the famously rectangular floor plan to set up a dialogue with the solitary existing sculpture in the Pavilion, Georg Kolbe's 'Alba (Dawn)', which stands on a small plinth in the smaller of the building's two reflecting pools. Veilhan has reinterpreted Kolbe's figure in four figures of descending scale, using different materials in a homage to Mies' simple, rich palette of glass, steel and marble. The pools have been partly built over, offering visitors new perspectives on spaces made iconic through photography, reproduction and imitation.
'My curatorial role was focused on researching together with Xavier Veilhan about the history of the pavilion, the characters and conditions that defined its design and how we could connect with that through our project,' Gonzalo Herrero Delicado explains. 'It was also important for the Barcelona installation to create a conversation with the rest of the exhibitions.' The architect oversaw all aspects of the project, from liaising with the MvdR Foundation to secure permissions to finding the local architects, MAIO, to build the final design.

A Complete Timeline of Katy Perry and Taylor Swift's Feud
Here's the Full Transcript of Hannah and Luke's Sex Talk on The Bachelorette
Are Taylor Swift and Harry Styles Performing at the 2017 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show?
Taylor Swift and Harry Styles infamously dated from December 2012 to January 2013. It was a short relationship, yes, but a memorable one. The photos of Swift and Styles walking together in a New York City park (see above) sent the pop-music world into a tizzy, and their breakup was even more of a big deal. Fans think Swift wrote two songs about Styles—"I Knew You Were Trouble," from Red, and "Out of the Woods," from 1989—though neither has been confirmed.
The two haven't exactly had the most congenial relationship since their split, either. Remember the time they awkwardly passed each other while out with friends in January 2015? Or when Swift maybe dissed Styles at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards? To be fair, Styles did hint he has no hard feelings toward Swift in an interview with Rolling Stone, but the two haven't exactly been photographed sharing endless appetizers at T.G.I. Fridays.
But that might change pretty soon. There's a fan theory floating around the Internet right now that both Styles and Swift will perform at the 2017 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Shanghai next month. The evidence? This press release from the Shanghai Culture, Radio, Film and Television Administration Bureau, which states Styles and Swift each were issued administrative licenses to perform four songs in the city on November 20—right around the time the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is happening. November 28 is the exact air date, but the show is always filmed in advance.
Check the release out for yourself, below:
https://twitter.com/TSwizzleReport/status/914110878840008704
If this is true, it'd be Swift's third time performing at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. She hit the stage both in 2013 and 2014; coincidentally, it was at her first show where she met her now-BFF Karlie Kloss. This would be Styles' first time performing at the event.
It's unclear if Swift and Styles would sing together, though that seems unlikely. Swift will be in full Reputation promo mode at that time, so she'd probably take the opportunity to perform new material. But you never know! Either way, we're on board with this quasi-reunion.

Can WD-40 Really Remove Crayon Marks from the Wall?
J is two months away from being 4. He is constantly talking about his upcoming birthday. He has decided who will come. If he is mad at you, he threatens to remove you from his birthday party. Honestly, I can't wait for him to be past anything resembling toddler like behavior. We were spoiled by Ry and for the most part by J. We had very few classic toddler moments. But recently, he has been on a toddler roll.
Before putting him to bed, I noticed there were crayon drawings all over his wall. I honestly can't remember dealing with that issue before today. When I asked him about it, he looked puzzled and denied it was him. He went so far as to blame his coveted stuffed animal. I remarked, "dog-dog did it?" This happened by the way when he and his brother were expected to stay in their rooms for some quiet time, since things had gotten pretty rowdy between them.
Last night, during a time out, he took all his books and clothes and spread them all over the room. This morning, he spent the day putting back all his books and clothes and lost some TV time. When I suggested I take away his "Ready Freddy Shark Tales" CD, he seemed shocked that I would even consider that. Intellectually, I know he is not connecting the consequence with the behavior, but I want him to…..now. ……..RIGHT NOW!!!!!
Oh yeah, Yes, DW-40 is the answer to removing crayon drawings off the wall. Just spray and wipe.

Hi, this is Tiffany Scharff, the Parent-Tot teacher. I wanted to talk about a new kitchen appliance that I have been using a lot lately, the Instant Pot which is an electric pressure cooker. I have found this appliance to be very helpful in getting food on the table for my busy family. I have found we are eating less fast food, and we are eating healthier too. I am also not using my oven or stove as often, so my house is not heating up which is not fun in our hot summers. Another bonus is that it does much of the cooking for me, so I don't have to work nearly as hard and can give my family more attention because of it.
Here are common ways that I use my Instant Pot.
There are those days when I get home after getting the kids from school and I have only frozen chicken or ground beef in the freezer because I forgot to take it out the night before. That's not a problem for the Instant Pot. I can put a brick of frozen ground beef in it on a rack, add 1 cup water, and cook at high pressure for 25 minutes. Then, I just take it out of the pot and chop it up and I have cooked ground beef ready to use. With frozen chicken breast, I like to do salsa chicken from frozen. Here is a recipe: https://www.365daysofcrockpot.com/instant-pot-salsa-lime-chicken/ I add taco seasoning to my salsa chicken instead of the chili powder and other ingredients in this recipe.
I also really love making bbq ribs and wings in the Instant Pot as they cooked a lot faster than traditional methods. For dessert, it works wonderfully for cheesecake and bunt cakes.
I do want to caution you on the time it takes to cook things. Recipes can be deceiving. The pressure cooker has to come to pressure before it starts to count down its cooking time. This can take 15 to 35 minutes depending on what you are cooking. A trick is to turn on the sauté function with your liquid in the inner pot to warm it up before adding the meat or other ingredient so it will come to pressure sooner. Remember to always have ¾ of a cup or more liquid in the pot when you are using an electric pressure cooker. This liquid is what helps cook your food. Another tip is when cooking meats, especially roast beef, use a natural pressure release which will take another 15 to 25 mins after the cook time, but your meats will be much more tender and moist.
Another great feature of this appliance is the Keep Warm function. This comes in handy when I have one kid who needs to eat at 5:00 before a practice but the rest of the family won't be able to eat until 6:30. I can cook the food and have it ready to be eaten at 5:00, then let it sit in the pot with the Keep Warm function on so it will be nice and hot for the rest of the family to eat later.
The Instant Pot has been such a great time saver for my family! I hope you'll find this helpful for your family as well!


In Brooklyn alone, there are 596 acres of vacant land just sitting there gathering garbage and gravel. Imagine if that was all green space, growing plants for food and providing parks for BK denizens. That's precisely the vision of 596 Acres, a public project which encourages people to connect with empty lots in the city. The group's actions range from guerrilla seed bombing to pushing for legislative change.
In Berlin, a similar project has transformed a 6,000 square-foot brownfield site into a lively organic fruit and veg garden. Check out those before-and-after pics. Wow.

Q: Error setting image src by id in HTML with Javascript I need to link an image so that when I check or uncheck a box it will appear and disappear. I have nav buttons that dictate which images shall appear. The HTML code is as follows.

function p01Func() {
  document.getElementById("problem").innerHTML = "
I'm looking for a type of pancake originating from the Indian subcontinent, made from a fermented batter. It is somewhat similar to a crepe in appearance.
";

  document.getElementById("flowchart").setAttribute("src", "images/dosa/dosaDesign.jpg");

  document.getElementById("js").setAttribute("src," "images/dosa/dosa1.jpg");

  document.getElementbyId("another").setAttribute("src," "images/dosa/dosa2.jpg");

  document.getElementById("check1").checked = false;
  document.getElementById("check2").checked = false;
  document.getElementById("check3").checked = false;
}

p01Func();

  <input id="check1" type="checkbox" /> Design

  <input id="check2" type="checkbox" /> JavaScript Solution

  <input id="check3" type="checkbox" /> Another Solution

The code won't run anymore, even the other parts. Any advice as to what I'm doing wrong?

A: You have syntax errors in 2 of your setAttribute() methods.
The following incorrect syntax (comma inside the double quotes after src):
document.getElementById("js").setAttribute("src," "images/dosa/dosa1.jpg");

Should be replaced with:
document.getElementById("js").setAttribute("src", "images/dosa/dosa1.jpg");

You also made the same syntax error in the line that follows this one. You can check your browser console to find these sorts of errors.

Many questioned the logic behind Amazon's Prime Days, especially in markets such as the US where almost all Amazon customers are already Prime customers. But the idea behind such a sale is clear, now that Amazon has announced exactly how successful Prime has been in increasing its volume.
According to Amazon, it managed to ship over 5 billion products through the Amazon Prime service in 2017, a number which is sufficient to gauge the magnitude of Prime's success. But it's not solely the sales figure that is impressive, but also the rate of Prime's adoption, which was at its highest in 2017.
In the official press release published by Business Wire, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, Amazon revealed that 2017 has proved to be the best year for Amazon Prime, as all three extensions of Prime's perks viz. shipping, shopping, and entertainment recorded maximum utility in the service's history.

Van and Heather Puckett took a chance on leading a self-sustaining agricultural life with just 160 acres and a dream. What they lacked was farming experience and resources to point them in the right direction.
Pigs are exactly where they started. Van and Heather moved their seven children to Heather's parent's homestead, located on the irrigated benchland property at the base of the Tobacco Root Mountains, about 10 miles outside of Twin Bridges, and acquired a few pigs.
"We bred and raised them and worked with L&S Meat Processing, a small, family-owned local butcher, to sell meat to those who were interested in a better-tasting, responsibly raised product," Heather says. Things were going well, so the Pucketts expanded and purchased a small herd of ill-fated goats.
The family was interested in farming, but they were in search of resources that would help them learn to be better caretakers of their animals and stewards of the land. It was by happy accident that the Pucketts were introduced to the Armed to Farm program, veteran- targeted agriculture workshops put on by a partnership between the Montana Department of Agriculture (MDA) and the National Center for Appropriate Technology (NCAT).
Van has served in the Army Reserve since 2007 and was directed to the Armed to Farm program while at drill one weekend in 2016. The Pucketts attended a workshop later that year and built several connections.
The Puckett's MT Cross Farms worked with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Farm Service Agency and Ruby Valley Bank in Twin Bridges for financing, and with help from NCAT to develop a grazing plan, they now raise Icelandic sheep – 150 ewes and their offspring, two whethers, and eight rams – for meat and fiber.
The Armed to Farm program began in Montana in the summer of 2016 when the MDA partnered with NCAT and applied for funding from the USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program. The program has three main goals: to train veterans and their partners to operate sustainable farms; to create a network of veterans and their families embarking upon careers in sustainable agriculture; and to provide technical assistance to participants as they improve their farming operations.
NCAT has been involved in targeted veteran outreach and assistance since 2010. The aid is funded through NCAT's sustainable agriculture program and USDA Rural Development in addition to other outside grants.
"We raise funds so that there is little to no cost to the veterans attending the trainings," Howard says.
NCAT's agricultural specialists provide expertise at workshop sessions, lead hands-on training on farms and provide technical assistance after workshop events.
In Montana, NCAT partners with the MDA to provide information on resources that are available from the state including the Food and Agriculture Development Centers, the Growth Through Agriculture program and Food Safety Resources.
Farmers who attend are provided five-day intensive training at no cost.
Feedback from the participants has been overwhelmingly positive. About 96 percent of participants say they would recommend the program to other veterans.
The Pucketts are preparing for Van's next mobilization and will rely on Armed to Farm.
Howard adds, "The bonding that happens between the participants is one of the most important things we see," noting that support is one of the program's most beneficial aspects.
Farver Farms diversifies its operation with dry mixes.

I found it in a physics text book but I could not understand how they did it.
First, please read this summary of what we do, how we do it, and what you must do to get help.
In this case, we particularly need to know whether you have studied limits in a calculus or a pre-calculus course.
Second, we need more context because what you have shown us is odd. Perhaps there is more that you have not shown.
Third, please tell us what you have tried or thought while trying to understand.
EDIT: What you have been shown is not math, but intuition.
This is kind of foolish however because if x is very large, the resulting approximation is itself is approximately zero.
Clearly this is not actually a limit, since x can't be in the result. It is something more like an asymptotic approximation.
Please quote what was said leading up to, or explaining, this.

Q: looping through variable names according to their prefix I have to carry out a number of paired t-tests, and I was wondering how to automate the overall procedure.
Suppose I have only the following variables:
int_ma    est_ma    tot_ma    int_pa    est_pa    tot_pa

What I need is to compute:
ttest int_ma=int_pa
ttest est_ma=est_pa
ttest tot_ma=tot_pa

Of course in some way it should be possible to exploit the fact that each pair has a unique prefix and the "_pa, _ma" suffixes, but unfortunately I cannot find an easy way to refer to only a part of each variable name..
Thank you very much for any help!

A: There are a few ways to do this. I would use a foreach loop with a general list. Here I loop over your three prefixes, which Stata passes to the loop as local macros, and append _ma and _pa to generate and ttest the variables.
* generate some data
clear
set obs 100
foreach x in int est tot {
    foreach y in ma pa {
        generate `x'_`y' = runiform()
    }
}

* -ttest- in -foreach- loop
foreach x in int est tot {
    ttest `x'_pa = `x'_ma
}

The foreach help file is a worth a few reads, as is the macro help file. The syntax is a little odd at first (more like bash scripting than R or Matlab), but it is very flexible.

For any reader who isn't aware, most of the world's plastic is currently made from crude oil. The process involves several steps, depending on the polymer that one is creating, but the total cost is still a fraction of the cost needed to create biopolymers of the same quality. Biopolymers are created by having a culture of bacteria consume large amounts of biomass. When the bacteria are mature, the culture is sterilized and the biopolymer is extracted directly. Many factors are now causing chemical and plastic companies to consider possible ways to reduce their reliance on crude oil, so reducing the cost of biopolymer production has become a greater priority. Since the polymer-using world cannot simply pay double or triple for things like plastic bags, plastic bottles, and plastic tubing, achieving this cost reduction is the missing critical factor to wide scale use of biopolymers.
The difference in cost between standard polymer production and biopolymer production is not caused by any one factor. Since the world uses such a large amount of plastic, existing polymer production facilities are huge, whereas biopolymers are mainly produced by small specialty groups and laboratories. Several companies are now considering the construction of large scale biopolymer factories, but they are waiting on the researchers to bring down the other areas of cost first. At present, it requires 3 times the weight in biomass to create a unit of biopolymer. This is because the bacteria being used are only able to consume certain nutrients from the biomass, leaving the rest behind as unusable waste material. Efforts are underway to find or engineer a more efficient bacteria for this task. The other side of the coin is to more effectively process the biomass such that a greater portion of it is consumable by the bacteria. Many different areas of research are currently being conducted toward this achieving this end, because labs and universities know the impact of these discoveries will be felt for centuries to come and the shorter-term breakthroughs could easily lead to a Nobel prize.
