A circular saw is a prevalent power tool. It can be used for varied functions such as wood cutting, masonry work, cutting ceramic tiles among others. It has four major components. They include a blade guard, a foot plate, a bevel adjustment and a depth adjustment. All these components enable a circular saw to operate competently. In using a nice circular saw, a superior blade must be integrated. An individual should ensure the model of a blade chosen has the precise number of teeth to ensure a circular saw performs its varied functions appropriately. Circular saw blades have teeth ranging from 14 to 120. This article will explore several types of circular saw blades. Below is a list of the blades.
They are equipped with 24 teeth which boost their speed. Most framing blades have expansion slots to assist in getting finer cuts. They also have a carbon steel body and heat vents which improve their capabilities. If you are a carpenter, this is a good blade for your circular saw. They are utilized best in rough carpentry work where speed supersedes a fine cut. A framing blade yields the desired rip cut. If the blade is used for a crosscut, a degree of roughness is exhibited.
They have 40 teeth that facilitate fine cutting in plywood. A key benefit of these blades is their ability to cut very thick stocks without difficulties. However, these blades are not appealing when cutting thin stocks.
They have very few teeth-14. Thus, such blades are suitable for cutting within a very short period of time. They are very durable thus guarantee prolonged cutting before the need to replace them arises.
They have 80 teeth. This means they are very suitable for fine cutting. It is worth to check if this type of blade is compatible with the circular saw that you have. This is necessary so as to achieve the desired output.
Just as the name suggests, they are used for crosscutting wood.
They are used for all types of woodcutting tasks. They can skillfully be used for crosscuts and rip cuts. This is possible because these blades are equipped with many categories of teeth. The teeth are separated by deep gullets. In each group of teeth, there is one tooth and four teeth designed for rip cutting and cross cutting respectively.
In choosing a blade for a circular saw, consider the intended purpose, speed and the type of cuts desired. If your key objective is to have a circular saw that has speed, choose a blade with fewer teeth. If you want to achieve fine cuts, choose a blade with more teeth.


CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - ERDC Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) recently received word that the National Institute of Building Sciences has approved the Construction-Operation Building information exchange (COBie) as part of the U.S. National Building Information Model (NBIMS-US) standard.
A CERL-developed approach, COBie is an internationally recognized data exchange standard that delivers life-cycle building asset information from design through construction.
Nearly all of the information needed to operate and maintain a building, such as a facility at a military installation, is created at some point during a project's design and construction phases. COBie helps in facilitating open building standards as part of a major national effort to revolutionize the facility delivery process. By using BIM information and COBie's open standards, designers, builders and installation facility managers will have open interchange using powerful computer tools used in the architectural-engineering-construction industry. The Corps has been using COBie for all military construction projects. It is an enormous enhancement for designing, constructing, managing and providing maintenance for military facilities.
"COBie can be implemented to provide quality control on design BIM model deliverables and to replace current paper-based construction handover specifications. The adoption of COBie is starting in the US but also well underway internationally. For example, starting in 2013 COBie is mandated on all major public projects in the United Kingdom," said Dr. Bill East, CERL research civil engineer and senior project manager, and project coordinator, buildingSMART alliance.
Learn more about COBie with online training, "COBie 101: Introduction to COBie," developed by COBie Chair Bill East; this is also available directly on YouTube.

"Science can answer moral questions."
Far and away the most misconstrued view of atheism is that it is a belief or even a "faith." It is not. It is the absence of a belief. Atheism is no more a belief than "not collecting stamps" is a hobby, or "off" is a television channel. We know this is so because it is what atheists actually say of themselves.
Pat Condell has a new venue. If you've enjoyed his articulate rants on this page in the past, you can now see him at dotSUB.

Mark Morford in the SF Chronicle comments: "Frank Schaeffer, noted author and a former fundamentalist nutball himself, who made a simply superb appearance on Rachel Maddow's show recently, wherein he offered up one of the most articulate, fantastic takedowns of the fundamentalist idiot's mindset in recent history. It's a must-watch. Do it. Do it now."

"In the past, politicians in Washington and elsewhere could largely ignore the Godless. But those days are over. With their numbers growing, nonbelievers are intent on pushing a political and legislative agenda governed more by cool reason than by faith."

Dr Michael Shermer the Founding Publisher of Skeptic magazine and a monthly columnist for Scientific American, during his lecture tour of Australia for that country's National Science Week in August, 2008, takes on Dr John Lennox, who holds three doctorates in the fields of science and mathematics (Ph.D., D.Phil., D.Sc.) and is a Fellow in Mathematics and Philosophy of Science at Green College, University of Oxford. His most recent book is God's Undertaker: Has Science Buried God?
In this debate before a standing room only crowd in Sydney, Lennox and Shermer debated the usual arguments for God's existence, with Lennox predictably leaning on Christian apologetics arguments and ending with his commitment to Jesus as his savior. Shermer closed with a passionate plea for science as the most transcendent form of knowledge that puts religion in the shade when it comes to revealing the wonders of the creation.
Parts 1 and 2 are Shermer's opening arguments, parts 3 and 4 are Lennox's opening arguments, parts 5 through 9 is the debate, and part 10 is closing arguments.
Science is more than a body of knowledge; it is a way of thinking. I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness.
Pat Condell rose to internet stardom in 2007 with a series of topical rants, posted to popular video-sharing websites. With topics usually centering on religion, politics, and current events, each of Pat's videos quickly caused a stir and racked up hundreds of thousands of views.

Are Self-Appraisals Right For Your Company? The Answer is Yes.
If performance management were to be exiled from a company's lifestyle, slowly but surely employees would become unhappy, nobody would have motivation to set goals, and the company would, one day, wind up unsuccessful. Nothing can be done well without a little direction, and when done properly, appraisals can provide that direction… particularly, self-appraisals.
Now, you may have heard that the performance appraisal is dying, alongside any sort of self-evaluation. Now while part of that may be true (companies are announcing they're "doing away with the annual review!"), what isn't being divulged is that they're just evolving their process, not getting rid of in completely. Yes, the annual performance appraisal may be dying, but performance management, and its accompanying reviews, are not. If anything, they're becoming more frequent and employee-involved than in the past.
Self-appraisals allow for employees to feel empowered and in control of their own destiny at a company, while managers can have the ability to help guide and direct them alongside the individual's own work. Performance management should be a team effort between the two parties anyway. Managers should not feel empowered to drive an employee's career in whatever direction they feel is best, it should be an open, and honest, conversation between the individuals. Ideally, in this conversation either person is able to share their opinions, questions, and even concerns about how one is doing in their career, and use the time to reflect and grow in their job. 78% of employees have said being recognized motivates them in their job, so there's no reason not to encourage this recognition through the use of self-appraisals.
Taking the manager out of the equation, self-reviews are extremely beneficial for the employee on an individual level. When the self-appraisal is integrated into your performance management process, it encourages employees to take a look at, and evaluate, themselves multiple times throughout the year. This allows employees to actively monitor themselves and become self-aware of any problems they may be experiencing. When the employee is doing this work, it opens up more time for managers to actively work on goal setting and achieving, teach, and maybe even harbor a more productive team energy.
Now of course, allowing the employee the ability to drive their own career can create some problems such as inflation of scores, an incorrect perception of how they're really doing within the company, and maybe some missed context as to why they do what they do, but the beauty of this being a part of your performance management process, is that it allows these problems to be caught early and remedied, rather than at the end of the year when the employee may be expecting a bonus, but isn't going to receive one. Besides, 92% of employees agreed with the assertion, "Negative (redirecting) feedback, if delivered appropriately, is effective at improving performance." So, while these conversations won't be easy to have, they'll save your managers, and you, many headaches (and potentially heartbreaks!) in the future.
If this post hasn't convinced you on the idea of self-appraisals, I would highly recommend you take some time to do your own research. The beauty of the self-appraisal is that it can be designed exactly how you like. Questions, or no questions? Competencies, or no competencies? Goals, or no goals? There are also plenty of anecdotal stories from other companies' experiences for you to read. Learn from their mistakes, go out on a limb, implement an idea of their's you may think will work for your company. The self-appraisal world is your oyster with all of the options out there – there's no excuse to not at least try it once.
If you're sure you want to implement self-appraisals, but need some assistance, our wonderful Reviewsnap team members would love to assist. Reach out today by phone or email.


Winter is that special season each year. Winter contains the freezing cold temperatures, treacherous traveling conditions, and enough flannels to please Bob Vila. Listed below are my five tips to keep yourself safe as you navigate your way through the Winter season.
For those of you who drive, your vehicle will be taking the brunt of the bad weather that you encounter. If you prepare your car for the weather and treat it well, it will treat you well and not break down when you need it the most. Several ways to prepare your car for winter is by equipping it with snow tires, leaving the gas tank full so ice can't form inside, and making sure your anti-freeze levels are up to par. A full list of ways to prepare your car can be found on the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) website.
Whether you break down on the side of the road or lose power at home, it is always handy to have an emergency kit prepared and on hand to assist you until you're able to get help or regain power. What you put in your emergency kit is entirely up to you, but you should have the following key items: water, non-perishable food items, a flashlight with extra batteries, a First-Aid kit, and extra cash. It's also prudent to include extra medication if you take any. A full list of things you may want to have in an emergency kit can be found on the American Red Cross website.
When it comes to cold weather, the usual t-shirt and shorts won't quite do the trick in keeping you warm. When it's cold out, dress in layers. Be sure to wear warm clothing like long pants, sweatshirts, and heavy winter coats. When it's very cold out, consider wearing toboggans, gloves, and scarves to keep your exposed extremities warm. Frostbite can occur in less than 30 minutes in certain conditions, so don't take the risk and instead, bundle up.
Staying hydrated is important no matter what time of year it is, but it is even more vital in the winter. According to Dr. Drew Koch of the Ithaca Journal, "During the winter months, sweat evaporates more rapidly in the cold, dry air, and that can result in dehydration. Without the sweat, we're tricked into thinking we aren't losing fluids as rapidly as during a hot, summer day. Cooler temperature can also reduce the body's thirst response. When exercising in cold weather, you may be less likely to drink water voluntarily." Because of this, be sure to keep yourself hydrated and watch out for the warning signs of dehydration, which include fatigue and extreme thirst.
Your home is your safe haven. You keep yourself warm in it and it keeps you safe from the cold weather conditions outside. By getting your home into proper winter weather mode, you'll be doing yourself and your house a favor in the long run. Some of the main things you can do to prepare your home for winter is making sure your home is well-insulated, installing weatherstrips and storm windows to keep the cold air out, and making sure your furnace is kept in good running order. A full list of ways to prepare your home for winter can be found on the CDC and State Farm websites.
When it comes to the winter months, you are best to take ample precautions and get yourself prepared in case something happens. If you prepare and nothing happens, no harm done. But if you aren't prepared and something disastrous happens, you'll be wishing that you took the time to prepare. Stay safe this winter!


Tracking is no longer passive. The tracker supports two-way communication with pre-set family numbers and numbers from the white list, which makes it convenient for family numbers to communicate with anyone carrying it.
A geo-fence can be set by SMS command to provide a safety net for your loved ones. When anyone carrying the tracker walks in/out of the fence, SOS numbers will receive alarm.
The panic button allows the holder to trigger a SOS call/text when running into emergency or dangerous persons.


I read today* about a vulnerability in Revolution Slider. This is a very popular plugin, and is bundled with the 2nd most popular theme on Theme Forest, X | The Theme.
*It took 3 months for the severity of this attack to go from discovery to me via a colleague. Probably partially due to the fact that I'm not on Twitter all the time, but I'm quite disappointed that Envato did not alert anyone who bought the plugin or one of the 1,197 themes with Revolution Slider embedded, warning them of this vulnerability.
Then your site has been attacked (not necessarily compromised). If successful, the attacker now has your MySQL database login and may be able to do just about anything they want with your site.
First, upgrade the plugin! If you're running version 4.1.4 or older, you need to upgrade. If you are using a theme which has Revolution Slider included, and the theme hasn't been updated, you need to get the plugin and upgrade it.
Finally, change your MySQL password and make sure that the database is only accessible to your web server. There's no reason to allow anyone (%) with your MySQL username and password to connect. If your MySQL database is on the same server as your web server, use "localhost"; otherwise, use the web servers name.
Go to https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/ and generate new Authentication Unique Keys, and paste these lines over the existing lines in your wp-config file. Since a successful attack has revealed these values, it's best to reset them.
You can change these at any point in time to invalidate all existing cookies. This will force all users to have to log in again.
Open Source software is awesome because anyone can see how it works, modify it, and expand on it. But it also allows for attackers to find vulnerabilities and exploit them.

Nice guy Johnny Manziel just wants to give back.
Now reportedly sober and on the comeback trail to the NFL, the former Heisman Trophy winner at Texas A&M attended the school's Signing Day celebration Wednesday to offer advice to the new class of Aggies.

— Ed Werder (@Edwerderespn) February 1, 2017
ESPN's Marcus Spears was at A&M's Signing Day event as well and said Manziel is "looking and feeling good," adding that he is focused on being a better person. The Aggies apparently have welcomed back Manziel with open arms despite his previous transgressions.
As of mid-day Wednesday, Texas A&M had the 10th-best recruiting class, according to 247Sports, thanks in part to the signing of a Manziel-like dual-threat QB in Kellen Mond.
Manziel, still an NFL free agent, returned to College Station this past fall to train and finish his degree as he sorts through a myriad of legal issues.

A sárkánykirály a vizek gazdája és a sárkányok feje a kései kínai mitológia és népi folklórban. Alakja feltehetően a buddhizmus hatására alakulhatott ki Kínában. A források leggyakrabban négy sárkánykirályról tesznek említést, akik a négy égtáj tengereinek urai. Kultusza hosszú évszázadokon át igen népszerű volt Kína-szerte. Szinte minden városban, településen állítottak nekik templomot a folyók, a patakok partján vagy a gázlók menten, esetleg a kutaknál, és esőért fohászkodtak hozzá. Kedvelt alakja a népmeséknek, elbeszéléseknek és regényeknek, amelyekben általában öregemberkén jelenik meg. Az erős kínai kulturális hatásnak köszönhetően alakja Koreában is ismert és nepszerű.

Eredete
A sárkánykirály képzete a feltehetően a buddhizmus hatására valamikor az i. sz. első századokban alakulhatott ki Kínában, ugyanis a buddhista szutrák kínai nyelvre történő fordításakor a Nágarádzsa ("kígyókirály") szót ként ("sárkánykirály") adták vissza. Kezdetben a sárkánykirályok számát is átvették a buddhista irodalomból, például a Lótusz-szutra (szanszkrit: Szaddharma pundaríka szutra; kínaiul:  《妙法蓮華經》) kínai fordításában még nyolc szerepel belőlük, majd később, más művek tízet sorolnak fel.

A négy sárkánykirály
Igen gyorsan elterjedt azonban a sárkánykirályokkal kapcsolatos taoista elképzelés is, amely a négy tengerhez ( 四海) társít egy-egy sárkánykirályt, azok uralkodóiként:

  (廣利) a Déli-tenger sárkánykirálya
  (廣德) a Keleti-tenger sárkánykirálya
  (廣澤), más néven:  (崇禮) az Északi-tenger sárkánykirálya
  (廣順), más néven:  (正恆) a Nyugati-tenger sárkánykirálya

Később, az olyan 16-17. századi regényekben, mint például a Nyugati utazás vagy az Istenek birtokba helyezése ( 《封神演義》) a négy sárkánykirály már más néven szerepel:

  (敖廣 / 敖光), a Keleti-tenger sárkánykirálya
  (敖欽), a Déli-tenger sárkánykirálya
  (敖閏), a Nyugati-tenger sárkánykirálya
  (敖順), az Északi-tenger sárkánykirálya

Alakja a néphiteben

A korai szövegek szerint a sárkánykirályok leginkább a rendkívüli termetükkel tűntek ki a többi sárkány közül, mivel a hosszuk egy kínai mérföld (li = 0,5 km) volt. A későbbi mesékben és a néphitben nem is feltétlenül nevezik néven őket, és azt tartják róluk, hogy az őselemek uralkodói, akik alá tartozik a mennydörgés, a villám, a szél és az eső istene.

A sárkánykirályok kultusza hosszú évszázadokon át igen népszerű volt Kína-szerte. Szinte minden városban, településen állítottak nekik templomot a folyók, a patakok partján vagy a gázlók menten, esetleg a kutaknál. Aszály idején kivitték a sárkánykirály szobrát a templomból és a tűző napra helyezték, áradáskor pedig végigvitték az árvíz sújtotta vidéken, hogy saját szemével lássa, mekkora a kár, abban a reményben, hogy felébred a lelkiismerete, és intézkedni fog. Ha ez sem segített, előfordult, hogy a sárkánykirály szobrát "vízbe fojtották". A kínai császárok közül többen is hivatalos címeket, rangokat adományoztak a sárkánykirályoknak, és arra is volt példa, hogy valami vétkük vagy mulasztásuk miatt megfosztották rangjuktól, és távoli vidékekre száműzték őket.

A késői folklórhagyományban a sárkánykirályt általában öregember alakjában képzelték el, aki a víz alatti kristálypalotájában ( 龍宮) lakik, ahol tengeri állatokból verbuvált saját hadsereggel is rendelkezik. Az ábrázolóművészetekben gyakorta jelenik meg a botját markoló öregemberként, a botja díszgombja pedig sárkányfejet formáz.

Az irodalomban
A fikciós irodalomban, "sárkányos történetek", a komplexitás, kidolgozottság és irodalmi érték szempontjából a buddhista hatásra megjelent sárkánykirály figurájával érték el a csúcspontjukat. Az addig leginkább meghökkentő, fantasztikus anekdotajellegű történetek mellett megjelent a sárkánykirály tökéletesen, részletgazdagon, színesen felépített alakja és világa. A késő népi szinkretikus mitológiai rendszerben a sárkánykirálynak, akárcsak a többi istenségnek, a Jáde Császárnak ( 玉帝) volt az alárendeltje, akinek a palotájában olykor személyesen is tiszteletét tette. A mesékben, népszerű történetekben gyakorta esik szó a sárkánykirály lányairól, fiairól. Az ilyen történetek legjellemzőbb szüzséje, hogy az sárkánykirály gyermeke az emberek között valamilyen bajba kerül, majd az ifjú megmentője, meghívást kap a sárkánykirály palotájába, ahol bőkezűen megjutalmaztik, vagy valamilyen varázserejű tárgyat kap ajándékba. Ezek közül a talán a legismertebb, és magyarul is olvasható, a Tang-kori  (李朝威; 766–820) A sárkánykirály lánya ( 《柳毅傳》) című elbeszélése.

A sárkánykirállyal kapcsolatos történetek közül is kiemelkedik a két legjelentősebb mitológiai témájú klasszikus kínai regény, a Nyugati utazás, valamint Az istenek birtokba helyezése ( 《封神演義》). A két regényben szereplő, ide vonatkozó története nem csak abban hasonlít, hogy mind a kettőben a Keleti-tenger sárkánykirálya,  szerepel, hanem, hogy a hősök,  (孫悟空), a majomkirály, illetve  (哪吒) renitens, tiszteletlen viselkedésével konfliktusba keveredik a sárkánykirállyal, aki ezért bepanaszolja őket a Jáde Császárnál. A sárkány, illetve a sárkánykirály, a kínai mitológiában betöltött tiszteltreméltó helyzetét és megbecsülését jól példázza, hogy a renitens hősök tette, egyik esetben sem marad büntetlenül.

A Nyugati utazás 3. fejezetében  hadsereggé szervezi a népét, gyakorlatoztatja őket, ő maga pedig ismét útra kell, hogy egy megfelelő fegyvert szerezzen magának. , a keleti sárkánykirály palotájába megy, ahol végül rátalál az Égi Folyót a helyére szegező vastuskóra, amit senki meg sem bír mozdítani.  könnyedén kihúzta, és megfelelő méretű vasbottá zsugorította. Ekkor látta meg rajta a felírást, miszerint a neve: "Aranygombos, bűvös bunkó, kézre járó" ( 如意金箍棒), melynek a súlya tizenháromezer-ötszáz font. Miután a sárkánykirály többi testvérétől páncélruhát és sisakot is szerez, továbbáll. A sárkánykirályok azonban panaszt teszenek ellene a Jáde Császárnál.

Az istenek birtokba helyezése 12. fejezetében a csodálatos körülmények között világrajött  a Keleti-tengerbe trokolló Kilenc Kanyar Folyónál játszik, és felkavarja annak vizét a "Hét láb hosszú Mennyet Fölkavaró Damasztjával" ( 七尺混天綾). Ebbe beleremeg  víz alatti kristálypalotája. A sárkánykirály a harmadik fiát et (敖丙) küldi a felszínre, hogy lássa el a fiú baját. Azonban szóváltásba keverednek és egymásnak akaszkodnak:

A sárkánykirály azonban ezért a tettéért bepanaszolja őt a Jáde Császárnál, aki kiszabja a fiú büntetését.

Koreában
Kínai mintára a koreai mitológiának is része a sárkánykirály (), aki a víz alatti palotájában lakik és a vizek ura. A 6. holdhónap 15. napján, a fejmosás és a fésülködés napján régen áldozati szertartással egybekötött istentiszteletet rendeztek a számára, esős és bőtermésű évért fohászkodtak hozzá. A sárkánykirály tiszteletére elsősorban a sámánnők végezték el a szertartásokat. A sárkánykirály népszerű szereplője a koreai folklórnak, és alakja a középkori irodalomban is gyakorta felbukkan. A koreai népi kalendáriumban az 1. holdhónap 5. napját a "sárkány napjának" () nevezik. A közhiedelem szerint, ha ezen a napon merítenek vizet a kútból, amelyben előző napon a sárkány lerakta a tojásait, a ház népe boldogságban és jólétben élhet egész esztendőn át.

Five Common Public Relations Myths... Busted!
One of the most undervalued and underutilized marketing tactics is public relations (a.k.a. PR). This is most likely because most people -- my immediate family included -- have no idea what PR is.
"No Grandma, I don't work at the TV station. And no, I can't introduce you to Anderson Cooper."
Even some small business owners who are familiar with PR are belaboring under very common myths about the industry. In this article, I've debunked the top five most common PR myths in order to show you how PR can help you to market your small business more effectively.
The press release is the proverbial hammer of a PR toolkit -- the tried and true method that companies continue to use to communicate their stories to media. It can be a very effective tool, but only when used properly.
Unfortunately though, today most companies use press releases as a way to mass-market a story idea. Most press releases simply state news, rather than considering what is actually newsworthy to the general public or a media outlet about the news. Always try to see the bigger picture; your press release should tell a reporter what implication your news has to the industry as a whole.
As well, companies that are inexperienced in PR send their untargeted press release to every single media outlet that they can think of and every single journalist in each outlet, without any real strategy or consideration of the journalist's specific areas of interest. This "spray and pray" method has made the press release a much less effective tool for PR professionals. Journalists receive hundreds or even thousands of press releases via email every day so your message to media must also change in order for your story to stand out from the crowd.
Today, a more effective way of delivering your message/story idea to media is to use a pitch letter. A pitch letter is an email, which outlines the newsworthy story behind your news. I repeat, it cannot just state your news; your pitch must encapsulate why this story should matter to the media outlet's audience.
Here's an example: if your news is that your company appointed a new CEO, consider how this appointment will affect your business as a whole, the industry in which you operate and the local business community. Will your new CEO affect your local economy in a positive way? Will the new CEO bring strong experience or innovation that will help your company to transform your industry? If so, these are the strong newsworthy stories that you should be including in your email pitch in order to secure the most media coverage possible.
Sometimes I feel like I am stuck on repeat because of how often I explain this common misconception about PR: PR is not sales. It will not directly generate sales. Instead, PR generates brand awareness and credibility so that when your sales team approaches potential leads, they are already familiar with your company and product and trust in your brand. This will turn cold leads into warm leads, and will drastically increase your sales team's efficacy over time.
Building a brand and creating awareness in a customer's mind does not happen overnight. With most PR campaigns (especially those in high competition markets -- like the U.S. travel media market, for instance), companies can expect to start seeing media placements at approximately three months into the campaign. As long as the campaign continues, the number of PR placements will increase exponentially so you can anticipate steady growth over time.
This is why PR is most effective over a long period of time. My recommendation is to consider PR a basic necessity for marketing your business and outreach should continue on a regular basis, as long as your company is in existence. In other words, PR shouldn't stop until you do.
A common misconception is that PR is cheap. While this has a modicum of truth (because PR is much cheaper -- and more effective -- than advertising), PR is not by any means cheap. PR is a full-time job so companies must either hire a full-time, in-house PR professional or outsource to an agency, who will handle the PR outreach on a company's behalf. Either way, your monthly costs will be in the thousands, not in the hundreds of dollars. When it comes to PR, you definitely get what you pay for.
Think of it this way: you need to spend money to make money. And the benefits of PR HUGELY outweigh its costs. PR can create more visibility, more credibility and more impressions than advertising at a MUCH lower price point. And unlike advertising, whose effectiveness stops when you stop paying for the ad, PR's reach continues to grow exponentially over time as more and more media outlets become familiar with your company, product and brand.
This is probably one of the biggest myths about PR. Many business owners think that they can handle PR themselves to save money; after all, all you need to do is write a press release and journalists will be banging down your door, asking for interviews, right?
PR is not just about press releases... or even about pitches. PR is about creating a consistent brand, writing well, communicating effectively, acting strategically, creating relationships with media, having extensive knowledge about your industry and the media outlets that you are pitching.
PR is a big job. As a startup, I'm sure that there are lots of tasks on your 'to do' list and not enough hours in the day to complete all of them. So allow the PR professionals to do what they do best and focus your energy on what you do best -- running your business.

For the past two months, I have made it part of my weekend routine to participate in the Cracked Flash writing competition. They post a sentence and some inspiration images allowing writers 24 hours to come up with a 300 word story. All entries are posted to the comments. The following Wednesday, a winner and two runner ups are chosen.
This Wednesday, my story, "Her First Rodeo," won.
This is my second time winning this competition, and I'm just as excited as I was the first time. In an world so full of rejections, it is refreshing to see somebody appreciated my writing – to see somebody gets me. Cracked flash is a unique competition that I would recommend to any writer.
One thing that sets this apart from other contests is the time limit. 24 hours is not very long. Because I have other projects I'm working on, papers to grade, and occasionally, people to see, I usually only have time for two drafts. One where I write the story and exceed the word count, then another where I cut back and improve the language. Some weeks my stories have flat characters and week plots. Some weeks, they are funny and dynamic. Twice, they have been good enough to win.
Winning does't mean the stories perfect, and the judges know that. My favorite part of this competition is that their statements about the winners usually point out a few things they liked about the story and one or two ways it could have been better. While I can't send my 300 word to a lot of publications because simply being on the web means it is "previously published" I could revise it and expand it until it morphs into a new story.
The short might be like a cucumber seedling. It starts out small, but turns into an enormous vine that produces dozens of delicious fruits.
My 300-word story about a sheriff and his apprentice placing a tracker on an outlaw alien might just evolve into a 3,000 word story about those same to characters tracking said alien, apprehending him, and realizing he wasn't a villain at all but a victim who was framed.
It will take a few months for this seedling to grow into sprawling vine, so please take a few minutes to look at this little green baby and don't forget to visit Cracked Flash on Saturday for some #writing #inspiration.
"It's a bad plan, but if there's one thing I'm good at, it's making bad plans work!" said Joe.
The Cantina was dark place that reeked of stale beer. Horrid country was barely audible over the drunken shouts of ranchers–exactly the kind of place their quarry would hide.
"We're gonna get killed," muttered Molly. She was rookie, fresh out of the academy.
The men froze. Conversation ceased. The automated singer crooned about losing his wife, truck, and hamster while the click of safeties switching off improved the melody.
"We ain't snitches," said a man whose face resembled a raisen.
Joe grinned. No face matched his quarry's, so he examined each gun and hand carefully, focusing on a gleaming silver pistol, held by a blue-tinted hand. Alien magic could create some good illusions, but the flaws always showed closest to objects from their home-worlds, especially laser-pistols.
He knew Molly had spotted it when she fainted.
"She didn't hold at all," laughed raisin face, putting his gun away.
"Next round's on me." Joe slipped three bills to the bartender, picked Molly up and carried her to his truck, careful to bump his quarry on the way out and plant a tracking device.

Tiger JK Talks About How BTS's RM Surprised And Moved Him With His Lyrics For Their "Timeless" Collab
by R. Jun
Tiger JK talked about how the lyrics RM sent him for their collaboration surprised and moved him on the May 17 broadcast of "Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook."
The list of collaborators on "Drunken Tiger X: The Rebirth of Tiger JK" is long, including artists such as Kim Jong Kook, Defconn, HaHa, Junoflo, Superbee, and many more.
Tiger JK said BTS's RM, who featured on the song "Timeless," was the first artist to join him on the album, and Yoo Hee Yeol asked why he teared up when he saw the lyrics RM wrote for his track.
Tiger JK said, "I asked [RM] to brag about what he's been doing. I wanted him to brag and really show off, but he sent me lyrics that were an homage to Drunken Tiger. It was so moving, and I felt apologetic."
On what he really liked about RM's lyrics, Tiger JK said, "He wrote the lyrics using Drunken Tiger song titles. RM is 'rap monster,' and he wrote [something like] 'The Tiger JK monster raised another monster.' (The actual lyrics read, 'Whether you like it or not, you raised another monster.')"
Yoo Hee Yeol said, "That's really the sign of ultimate respect," and Tiger JK joked, "It really felt like a burden."
He added, "I hoped people wouldn't misunderstand and think that I asked him to write it this way. Since he's doing so well right now."
Talking more about the final Drunken Tiger album and laying down the Drunken Tiger name once and for all, Tiger JK said, "You probably noticed, but I have trouble quickly getting to the point. Everything needs an intro, and then there has to be a reason for the next song, even if it's something only I know, and then a skit has to follow, and then there needs to be something that explains the next track, and so on. I get so immersed in that, and the album becomes something like a movie."
He talked about how the trend changed as he was creating these movie-like albums and that now, artists release singles very quickly.
"I just couldn't keep up. I would have a bank of songs, throw them away, and repeat that," he said. "So I decided to not worry about all the trends and practices of today and just do what I've always done for the last time and put it in a time capsule."
He said, "The Drunken Tiger chapter has closed, and now, as a free spirit, I can start something new. I'm really happy."

From the time I first started calling myself a writer, I wished I could see into the future, to see a version of myself who had finished a manuscript. Even as I worked on my first novel, I felt little certainty about if or when I'd finish. Then, when it was done and I sought an agent, I wondered how long it would take to find one. With my agent's help, a publisher picked it up, and I wondered about the steps of the process that would make it a book.
Writers talk about all this, sure, but not with any specificity. And I didn't have anyone to ask.
I still don't really understand how these things work in general — everyone's experience, of course, is different. But I know what I've done and what's happened to my book. Here is the timeline of FAMOUS MEN WHO NEVER LIVED, from start to …well, not finish. Till now.
5/4/17: Stacia emails to say she's heard from Tony Perez at Tin House Books and that he is "devouring" the book. Sounds promising!
10/3/18: Tony tells me proofreading corrections are on their way!
Gute Nachricht! My short story "Been Fighting Since" was longlisted for the 2017 Berlin Writing Prize.
Though I'm slightly disappointed not to get to hang out in Berlin for a month, I send freundliche Grüßen to the winners.
Thanks to Pinckney Benedict for nominating me, to Fjords Review for printing the story, and to the anthology for including me in such good company!

Harwich International Port benefits from great road and rail links, making it very easy to reach.
You are here: Mini Cruise Reviews > DFDS LEGOLAND Billund Mini Cruise Review > Getting to Harwich International Port
Harwich sits on the East coast of Britain, in the county of Essex.
The port in Parkeston is around a 20-minute drive from Colchester. It is about an hour away from Stansted Airport and around two hours drive from Central London.
Due to its location, Harwich is popular with families from the South East of the UK. It is relatively accessible for residents in the South West, Wales and the Midlands.
Travelling from Cardiff, I drove along the M4 and around the M25. I detoured along the M11 and followed the A120 along to Harwich.
An alternative route would be to take the A12 from Junction 28 of the M25.
The entrance to the port property sits beyond a roundabout serving a small retail park and a Morrisons supermarket. There's also a Premier Inn hotel located across the road from here as well as a Lidl supermarket.
Ferries from Harwich to Esbjerg tend to transport freight, cars, caravans and camper vans. Very few passengers travel on mini cruises without their vehicles.
Car parking at Harwich International Port
Ample car parking is available adjacent to the terminal building.
The car park is just beyond the manned security barriers. Take the first right, and then a left into the car park. It is a Pay on Return car park charged by the hour up to the first 24 hours, then per day after that. When I visited, the rate was £7.80 per day.
Harwich Port is also used by cruise lines so part of it is segregated off for these passengers. Make sure you follow the signs for the ferry rather than the signs to the cruise ship.
If you arrive too early, the town of Harwich is just a couple of miles beyond. It has a quaint dockside, a beach, and some historical monuments. It was very blustery when I was there, but I still saw a fair bit in half an hour, thanks to the easy accessibility of the sea front.
The port terminal sits directly above Harwich International Railway Station making it an excellent choice for those living in the South East.
Services run from London Liverpool Street to Manningtree, north east of Colchester. From here, take the direct line to Harwich International Railway Station. The journey from London is about 1½ by train. Plan your journey here.
Arriving by coach
National Express does not have any stops anywhere near the port. The closest route, number 481, departs London and travels to Chelmsford, Witham, Colchester, St Osyth, Clacton-on-Sea, Holland-on-Sea, Walton-on-the-Naze, Ipswich, and Felixstowe. Book your tickets here
Checking-in at Harwich International Port
The terminal at Harwich is home to both DFDS (Harwich to Denmark) and Stena Line (Harwich to the Hook of Holland).
A lift or set of stairs takes you up to the terminal building from the car park or the railway station. As you enter, there is a café on the left-hand side and a Stena Line information desk ahead of you. Walking around to the left (beyond the café) you'll find the DFDS office tucked away.
I checked-in in just a few minutes. A large seating area sits beyond the check-in office.
Boarding was a slick and quick process. The doors opened and a queue of passengers formed filing through to departures. I did not hear any announcements, but as the waiting area was small, it was clearly obvious to see people boarding.
Staff checked my passport and scanned my boarding card. A quick walk along the walkway to the end led us me to Sirena Seaways (formerly Dana Sirena). The entrance is located on the open cargo deck at the rear and a short walk through the corridor led to the passenger space.
I headed up to level 10 to find my Commodore De Luxe cabin, locked behind a private access door for use by Commodore passengers only. My cabin steward led the way and gave me a brief introduction before making arrangements for my breakfast the following morning.
Terminal facilities
Located on the eastern coast in Essex, Harwich International Port has fantastic road and rail links. The terminal is spacious, with a café and comfortable seating.

Sadly DFDS ceased its route between Harwich and Esbjerg in Denmark back in 2014, sadly stopping the LEGOLAND Denmark mini cruises in the process. You can still get to Denmark but will need to take the ferry to Amsterdam and drive onwards. Billund has a small airport so it may be worth checking if flights are available for a short break.

Thatching (31 May 1975 – 1999) was an Irish Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. The horse's early career was delayed and disrupted by injury, and he did not show his best form until switched to sprinting distances in the spring of 1979 when he won the Duke of York Stakes. He improved further when equipped with blinkers that summer, recording impressive victories in both the Cork and Orrery Stakes and the July Cup. He had a marked tendency to hang to the left when in front, which led to his disqualification in the William Hill Sprint Championship. He was retired to stud after winning four of his eleven races and became a successful breeding stallion.

Background
Thatching was a bay horse with two white socks bred in County Tipperary by the Lyonstown House stud. He was from the first crop of foals sired by Thatch, an American-bred, Irish-trained horse who won the St James's Palace Stakes, July Cup and Sussex Stakes in 1973. Thatching's dam Abella was a successful racehorse who produced several other good horses including the Ballyogan Stakes winner Golden Thatch. During his racing career, the horse was owned by Robert Sangster, trained by Vincent O'Brien at Ballydoyle and ridden by the English jockey Lester Piggott.

Racing career

1978: three-year-old season
Thatching sustained a broken bone in one of his hind feet and did not race until the autumn of his three-year-old season. In October 1978 he was sent to England to make his racecourse debut in the Severals Stakes over one mile at Newmarket Racecourse. He started the odds-on favourite but finished second, beaten three lengths by the Guy Harwood trained Portese. Later in the month he ran twice at Leopardstown Racecourse, finishing second over seven furlongs and then recording his first success in a nine furlong maiden race.

1979: four-year-old season
Thatching began his four-year-old season in the Group Three Earl of Sefton Stakes over nine furlongs at Newmarket in which he finished fifth behind his owner's more fancied runner Hawaiian Sound. After being exposed as some way behind the best at longer distances, Thatching was then campaigned over sprint distances and showed much improved form. In May he contested the Group Three over six furlongs at York Racecourse and started at odds of 17/2. Owing to a strike by employees of Racecourse Technical Services the starting stalls were not available and the race had to be started by flag. Thatching was left behind at the start but recovered to take the lead inside the final furlong, and despite veering to the left in the closing stages he won decisively from Persepolis and the Ayr Gold Cup winner Vaigly Great. Later in the month, Thatching started favourite for the Temple Stakes over five furlongs at Sandown Park Racecourse but finished fifth behind Double Form after hanging badly again in the final quarter mile. O'Brien was extremely disappointed with the performance, as the colt had been performing impressively in training.

For his next race, the Group Three Cork and Orrery Stakes at Royal Ascot in June, Thatching was equipped with blinkers for the first time. Starting at odds of 6/1 in a field of seventeen runners, the colt demonstrated what Timeform described as "remarkable power", racing among the leaders from the start and drawing clear in the closing stages to win by four lengths from the filly Rose Above. Thatching was then moved up to Group One class for the July Cup at Newmarket in which he started 2/1 favourite against a strong field including One In A Million, Vaigly Great, Sigy (Prix de l'Abbaye), Devon Ditty (Cheveley Park Stakes), Absalom (Vernons Sprint Cup). Piggott sent Thatching into the lead shortly after the start and by half way most of the other runners were struggling to match his pace. In the last quarter mile he pulled clear of the field to win by five lengths from Vaigly Great. Later in the month, Thatching was moved up in distance for the Sussex Stakes over one mile at Goodwood Racecourse but failed to stay and finished unplaced behind Kris. The colt then returned to sprinting for the William Hill Sprint Championship over five furlongs at York. He took the lead just after half way but veered to the left, causing interference to several other runners before crossing the line two and a half lengths clear of Ahonoora with Abdu third and Double Form in fourth. Following an inquiry by the racecourse stewards, however, Thatching was disqualified and relegated to last place, whilst Piggott received a four-day suspension for his ride.

Thatching's last was the Prix de l'Abbaye over 1000 metres at Longchamp Racecourse in October. Drawn on the outside of the thirteen runner field he was never able to get into contention and finished uplaced behind Double Form.

Assessment
In 1978, the independent Timeform organisation gave Thatching a rating of 98, thirty-five pounds below their top-rated three-year-old Ile de Bourbon. In the following year, Thatching was rated 131 by Timeform and rated the best sprinter of the year. In the official International Classification Thatching was rated the second-best older horse in Europe and the fifth best horse of any age after Three Troikas, Troy, Ile de Bourbon and Le Marmot.

Stud record
Thatching was retired from racing to stand as a breeding stallion at Coolmore's Longfield Stud at Cashel, County Tipperary at an initial fee of £8,000. Thatching was euthanized at Castlehyde Stud, County Cork in 1999 due to infirmities of old age.

Thatching had some success at stud, siring several major winners:

Chaumeire, foaled 1981, won Magnet Cup
Mansooj, 1984, won July Stakes
Wiganthorpe, 1984, won Gimcrack Stakes
Tirol, 1987, won 2000 Guineas, Irish 2,000 Guineas
Polar Bird, 1987, won Debutante Stakes
Shalford, 1988, won Diadem Stakes, Duke of York Stakes, Cork and Orrery Stakes
Danseuse du Soir, 1988, won Poule d'Essai des Pouliches, Prix de la Forêt, Prix Robert Papin, Prix de la Grotte
Archway, 1988, won Greenlands Stakes, sire of Hardy Eustace
Revelation, 1990, won Prix Eugène Adam
Sugarfoot, 1994, won Leicestershire Stakes, Park Stakes

È considerato uno dei padri della "moderna" fantascienza francese, avendo scritto narrativa di anticipazione a cavallo tra l'Ottocento e il Novecento. È stato presidente dell'Académie Goncourt dal 1926 alla morte.

Biografia
Al momento dell'esordio, intraprese col fratello minore Séraphin Justin François Boex (Bruxelles, 1859 – Ploubazlanec, 1948) un sodalizio letterario: la coppia si firmava col nome comune J. H. Rosny. Il primo frutto di questa collaborazione fu il romanzo Nell Horn de l'Armée du Salut (1886), che si ispirava al realismo e al naturalismo e ottenne l'attenzione di Alphonse Daudet e Edmond de Goncourt, che elessero i due fratelli membri onorari dell'Académie Goncourt.

Nel 1887 i due sottoscrissero il Manifeste des cinq, col quale si allontanavano esplicitamente dal naturalismo. Le loro opere successive mantennero comunque legami evidenti con quest'estetica, nonostante in quello stesso anno avessero già scritto Gli Xipéhuz (Les Xipéhuz), racconto in cui si dedicavano alla descrizione di forme extraterrestri. Nel 1909, il solo Joseph-Henri pubblicò il romanzo Marthe Baraquin, e questo segnò la fine della collaborazione fra i due. Il fratello minore proseguì l'attività firmandosi come J. H. Rosny jeune ("J. H. Rosny giovane"), mentre Joseph-Henri assunse il nome J. H. Rosny aîné, in quanto più anziano. A causa della maggior notorietà di quest'ultimo, anche alcune opere originariamente apparse sotto pseudonimo comune furono ristampate riportando la firma del solo Rosny aîné.

Da solo, Rosny aîné si volse a opere di carattere scientifico, filosofico, fantastico, senza però abbandonare l'aspetto sociale che era stato centrale in passato. Egli riuscì ad unire il naturalismo al fantastico con una serie di storie che sono oggi viste come anticipatrici della moderna letteratura fantascientifica. Rosny aîné è anzi uno dei grandi precursori francesi della fantascienza, al fianco di nomi come Jules Verne, Albert Robida, Gaston Leroux e Gustave Le Rouge.

Dalla sua penna sono usciti una serie di racconti che illustrano intelligenze aliene, tecnologie future e viaggi spaziali: Un altro mondo (Un autre monde, 1895), La morte della Terra (La mort de la Terre, 1910) e Nel mondo dei varianti (Dans le monde des Variants, 1939) - raccolti insieme con Gli Xipéhuz nel volume Altri mondi (1988) - e ancora Il cataclisma (Le Cataclysme, 1896), Terra inesplorata (L'étonnant voyage de Hareton Ironcastle, 1922) e I navigatori dell'infinito (Les navigateurs de l'infini, 1925), il cui seguito, Les Astronautes, fu pubblicato solo nel 1960.

Sempre a Rosny aîné si devono le Âges Farouches, una serie di romanzi e racconti di ambientazione preistorica, inaugurata da Vamireh (1892) e di cui fa parte anche il più famoso La guerra del fuoco (La guerre du feu, 1909), che ispirò una pellicola omonima per la regia di Jean-Jacques Annaud (1981). Nel 1926 venne eletto presidente dell'Académie Goncourt, e nel 1928 fece parte della Nouvelle Société Scientifique de Recherches. Per meriti letterari e scientifici – fu autore di numerosi interventi giornalistici e di saggi come Les Origines (1895) e Le Pluralisme (1909) – venne insignito di vari gradi della Legion d'onore, mentre in occasione degli ottant'anni la Société des Gens de Lettres gli tributò il suo omaggio. Gli è stato intitolato un premio letterario, il Prix Rosny aîné.
