The digital world has made it possible for businesses to make even more money than they would if they relied on just their brick- and-mortar stores. Allowing customers to make purchases on companies' websites gives them greater access to products and services, as well as convenience in finding the time to buy what they want.
However, new and experienced companies and entrepreneurs can learn other ways to take advantage of all the benefits that e-commerce businesses have to offer. They allow companies to make improvements to their advertisements and find the right customers for their services.
Here are three tips that'll make your e-commerce business successful.
Partner with the right players.
As much as you know about the products you sell, dozens of competitors know that much more, which allows them to make the amount of money that you've probably set in your monthly or yearly goals. Learning from the best in your field never hurts because as much as we try to accomplish things on our own, experts can always provide just the right addition to our strategies to help us meet objectives. When it comes to running an e-commerce business, you should find players in your game who have been at it for a few years and have made a name for themselves and try to form a partnership with them.
For example, if you're selling Premier Glow products, then you'll want to contact professionals who have been helping people throw parties at work or home, as well as those who need glow sticks, necklaces and other light-up items for a fun night out with friends. You can find these people on social networks such as LinkedIn, AngelList and BranchOut, as well as any upcoming conferences in your area involving people in your field. It's important to present your goals and progress so that you know if they match up with your potential partnerships.
Chances are that if you're new to the e-commerce world, you will most likely not get things right the first time when you're setting up your website and promoting what you have to offer. However, it helps to try every avenue possible to grab people's attention and bring them to your site. This may take time, but it will be time well-invested. Keeping track of which products are doing well over the course of a month or so will help you figure out which ones to feature more on certain pages, as well as which items need to be promoted differently. The language that you use in your product descriptions can also use some changes, if necessary.
The type of devices that people use to make their purchases has grown with the evolution of technology. It will help your business to design your website to make purchases possible on laptops, smartphones, tablets and similar gadgets. Search engine optimization (SEO) is another tool that you'll need to bring people to your site. Trying out different keywords through SEO will help figure out which ones will catch people's attention. This will also make your offerings and site more unique, which will help you stand out from the competition.
Figuring out what your customers want is made easier when you have more avenues of communicating with them. If you're just starting an e-commerce business for your company, then you'll want to take advantage of several ways that customers can contact you regarding any positives and negatives that they may have about your products. One way is to provide a page on your site that lists the contact information of all of your staff members and which areas they specialize in. This helps viewers find out quickly which people to contact and what questions to ask so that they can get their answer quickly.
Email lists and newsletters come in handy with helping customers stay up-to-date with any changes that you are making, and you can make them monthly or weekly, depending on how often things change. This can include offerings coming and going, changes in prices, moves for physical stores, and bundles changing in size. You can also add forum pages for customers to share their opinions on certain products services, because they may have suggestions that you may not have thought of before and could change your business for the better. Customers will also appreciate being given a voice.
Keep these tips in mind so that your e-commerce business becomes a reliable source of income.

The Glenwood Springs Post Independent, in conjunction with other Colorado Mountain News Media group newspapers, is running a series of stories on the statewide measures that are on the Nov. 6 ballot. These stories are intended to help explain the ballot questions, and will be running before the election. Ballots are being mailed out this week.
The industry currently adheres to a fee structure, which allows lenders to first charge an origination fee of as much as 20 percent on the first $300 borrowed and an additional 7.5 percent on any amount over that. Lenders may also charge customers a 45 percent interest rate per year per loan. Lenders may also collect monthly maintenance fees of $7.50 per $100 loaned.
As outlined on the Secretary of State's website, currently, a $500 loan would cost $293, meaning the annual percentage rate would equate to 189 percent. Under Proposition 111's regulations, if the annual percentage rate was currently at a 36-percent maximum, the same $500 loan would drop to a cost of $53.
The Aspen Times, in conjunction with other newspapers in the Colorado Mountain News Media group, is running a series of stories on the statewide measures for the Nov. 6 election. These stories, which will help to explain the ballot questions, will be running before the election. Ballots were mailed out Monday.

Bay of Biscay Wildlife Officer
Come Sail with Me, Lets Sail, Lets Sail Away…
Categories // Bay of Biscay Wildlife Officer
Who could think of a better way to spend your day than looking for whales and dolphins?
This week on board the Pont-Aven, Lucy and I (Kate) were joined by some keen wildlife watchers, other ORCA staff and volunteers to observe the wonderful wildlife in the Bay of Biscay. However, similarly to the Wildlife Officers on the Cap Finisterre, we found our infamous fin whales seemed to have moved from Biscay, but where they have gone we do not know. Our deck watch was therefore unusually quiet, even the dolphins appeared to be hiding from us. It was a slow start to the week, but the weather was on our side, and as the sun shone down on deck 10 we even had to take a few layers off (a novelty for us wildlife officers who are usually wrapped up enough to face a blizzard!) We stared at a seemingly empty ocean before the first "dolphin" call was made – finally the common dolphins had made an appearance, there was life out there!
We only caught a glimpse of one suspected fin whale, but it was the Cuvier's beaked whales that stole the show this week! Of course, we did miss seeing our wonderful fin whales, but the Cuvier's more than made up for it. In total we saw 10 Cuvier's beaked whales, most of which popped up right next to the boat giving us a good look at those goose-like white faces and scared male bodies! We even had a Cuvier's breaching in the distance, as it leapt over the horizon leaving a jet stream of water trailing behind it and coming down with a huge splash.
After the many Cuvier's sightings, we were treated to endless displays by more common dolphins racing towards the boat and leaping and jumping out of the waves created by the ship as it moved through the water. Even a grey, misty English Channel on our return to Plymouth treated us to dolphins and a few ocean sunfish. I have really grown to love common dolphins, even though they are indeed "common", you can always rely of them to brighten your day by racing towards the boat and putting on a wonderful display for both passengers on deck and those inside enjoying their morning cup of coffee! During this trip the common dolphins really did come out in force, we've had many sightings of large pods of 50+ dolphins! We've seen several mother and calf pairs leaping in perfect synchrony, and even had a few sneaky striped dolphins mixing in with the commons! Passengers and wildlife officers were ecstatic to find so many continuously making a beeline for the ship from miles away – they may have been difficult to count, but more excitingly it was difficult to know where to look next!
Whilst being a Wildlife Officer on board the Pont-Aven, I have been luckily enough to meet some of our dedicated volunteers as each month a team of surveyors joins us (as they did this week). They spend 3 days surveying for whales and dolphins and always disembark with a huge smile on their faces and raring for the next survey! But this week I got to know a few volunteers a bit better, as 4 extra guides joined us up on deck 10 for a crossing to the Bay of Biscay. After spending a few days with these volunteers, I feel that I truly understand what makes this charity so special – our dedicated members and surveyors. As with any charity, ORCA relies on the generosity of the public to keep us afloat, but ORCA stands above the rest for me, in that our members are at the heart of our research. During my time as a Wildlife Officer I have spoken to many people who deeply care about marine mammals, and what makes ORCA so wonderful is that they enable anybody who cares about the ocean to take an active role in protecting it. We have recently seen in the news how important the public's voice is to powering marine conservation, take for example the battle against single-use plastics – it is because of the huge support given by the public that industries are listening and making real changes to reduce plastic pollution. Here at ORCA we not only try to educate people as to the threats to marine mammals, we encourage members of the public from all walks of life to join our team. This could be in a number of ways, but most commonly is training members of the public to be Marine Mammal Surveyors. Training members of the public to conduct scientific research is known as citizen science and is proven to be an effective way of collecting large amounts of scientific data – without you, we wouldn't be able to conduct our work and protect our wonderful whales and dolphins. In fact, the majority of our data is collected by our volunteer Marine Mammal Surveyors, and in return for their valuable time, we hope to give back some unforgettable, once in a lifetime encounters with breath-taking whales and dolphins. From short ferry routes to Amsterdam to cruises to Iceland and everything in between, there's something for everyone's expertise and availability as a volunteer with ORCA – and I can personally testify that there's no better way to spend your days than looking for whales and dolphins. During my time as a Wildlife Officer I have seen so many magnificent species, I've even seen a pod of one of my all-time favourite species, the pilot whale (and one was even spy-hopping!). Our Marine Mammal Surveyors come from all walks of life but have one thing in common, and that is their awe-inspiring passion for cetaceans and the ocean.
So, if I've whet your appetite for whales and dolphins, and you have some spare time on your hands, why not train to be a Marine Mammal Surveyor and join us on one of our cruise or ferry routes? Anyone can do it – no prior experience is required; you just need a love of the marine environment! Or come see what it's all about and join us on a Sea Safari, with a team of expert spotters to help guide you! And really, who could think of a better way to spend your day than looking for whales and dolphins?
There's a big ocean out there, why not help us explore it?

Cardigan RNLI lifeboats called out to help in search for missing person.
The UK Coastguard requested the launch of both RNLI lifeboats from Cardigan at 4.32am on Saturday (18 February) to search for a suspected missing person.
The call was to aid in the search for an elderly gentleman who had been reported missing earlier in the evening. The gentleman was known to enjoy walking near Mwnt and the estuary around Patch and up to Cardigan.
Cardigan RNLI volunteer crew launched both lifeboats, the Atlantic 85 class lifeboat Albatross conducted a search of the area from below the Cliff Hotel in Gwbert around the coast to a point near Mwnt.
The smaller D class lifeboat Elsie Ida Meade was launched from the slipway at Glanteifion St Dogmaels and searched the area from the pontoon, along the river banks and down to the perch at the mouth of the estuary.
At around 6am the UK Coastguard stood both boats down and they returned to station.

After I-9 compliance audit, Chipotle exec seeks immigration reform, P. 1
On Behalf of Kurzban Kurzban Tetzeli and Pratt P.A. | Jan 19, 2012 | Employment Immigration |
Last year, immigration officials conducted a number of so-called "silent raids" on businesses across the country. A silent raid involves an audit of a company's I-9 compliance records as opposed to physical raids on a location. This blog reported stories on each type of raid in previous posts, including the employment eligibility verification audit of Chipotle restaurants and an ICE raid at the Lake Nona Veteran's Hospital.
In the aftermath of the Chipotle investigation, the restaurant giant had to let go hundreds of workers in three states. In one state, the restaurant fired more than half the employees. Since that time, the restaurant chain says it is having increasing difficulty with employee turnover rates. A Chipotle leader says the company's turnover rate has jumped 25 percent.
The Chipotle official says it was difficult to replace the employees that were let go. The quality of job applicants was reduced, requiring the restaurant chain to interview four times as many applicants to fill jobs, and then often watch as the new employees stayed for only a short-term.
The restaurant chain's co-leader has turned to speaking with lawmakers on Capitol Hill in both chambers of Congress, aggressively seeking immigration reform in the United States. The co-leader reportedly has told a number of Senators and Representatives at the Capitol that the current employment immigration laws are "messed up," and he is seeking immigration reform. He is not identifying a specific program of reform, but wants to have avenues to hire legal employees.
In the next post, the discussion of the aftermath of the Chipotle I-9 audit will continue.

Sale or discounts, those are terms you will seldom, or more accurately, never, see associated with machine guns. Machine guns and most class III items are usually sold-cash up front, and at the advertised price. There are no specials and no discounts. If you aren't interested, step aside and make room for someone else who is. If you do see any class III items at a low price advertised, you better be the first to call and have a certified check for the full amount ready to send the next day. In all but a very few cases it is a seller's market. The demand is high. The supply is extremely limited and growing smaller each year.
In years long since past, police departments were a place that machine gun bargains could be found. Old "obsolete" Thompsons, Reisings, Grease Guns and others were traded in by the police for more modern, up-to-date, Colt AR15s, H&Ks and other similar firearms. Alas, today most police departments are well aware of the collector value of their old inventories. "Obsolete" police guns are not usually sold on a sealed bid basis.
Today, the once prolific and inexpensive Thompsons and MP40s are priced out of reach for many potential buyers. Many of these guns are now residing in someone's collection, and will not be offered for sale until their owner's heirs inherit them. With demand increasing and the fixed supply dwindling, the situation is only getting worse for those looking to purchase a legal, registered machine gun.
The subject of this article, bargain machine guns, takes a look at and compares some of the less expensive guns that are available. The guns reviewed are on the lower end of today's fully transferable machine gun price scale. The purpose of this article is to provide some pros and cons of each gun so that you can make an informed decision on what best would suit your interest or needs.
Actually, there are no cheap machine guns. Those reviewed are inexpensive compared to many others that are available. The guns reviewed are still able to be located fairly easily from dealers or individuals. When shopping for a machine gun there are some things you need to be aware of. Most advertised prices do not include the required $200.00 transfer tax. Unless you are a class III dealer, you cannot purchase dealer samples or post 1986 dealer samples. These are the guns you will see advertised at less expensive prices. Individuals cannot purchase these guns. Two words make a machine gun expensive; FULLY TRANSFERABLE. These words mean, quite simply, that you do not have to be a dealer or Class II manufacturer to purchase or possess it (subject to state and local laws).
The guns reviewed in this article are the British Mark II Sten gun, the H&R Model 50 Reising, the U.S. M2 carbine and the M-11. These guns represent today's machine gun bargains.
The first gun reviewed is the British Sten series. The Sten is a very popular model simply because there were so many produced by class II manufacturers and individuals in the good old days prior to May 1986. In those days, an individual could file a form 1 to make a firearm, and after the approved form came back, obtain a Sten parts kit and a blank receiver tube. They could then manufacture their own machine gun for about $200.00 plus the transfer tax. Many more were built and registered by class II manufacturers as well.
Only the so-called "tube" receiver Stens qualify for bargain machine gun status. A Sten with an original receiver tube can cost up to twice as much as a new manufacture Sten. One can identify whether a Sten is an original gun or a tube gun by looking at the BATF form that it is registered on. In the manufacturer block on the form the name would be of an original manufacturer or it may say unknown. This is most likely an original gun. If it has a class II manufacturer or an individual's name in the block then it is most likely a tube gun. Some class IIs that made Sten receivers and/or complete guns are; Ciener, CATCO, Interport, Erb, DLO, Wilson, Taylor, Stemple, York Arms and Norrell. These class II manufacturers produced most of the Stens with new receivers.
Any individual or manufacturer who made a new Sten receiver was also required to stamp or engrave their name on the receiver tube. Original Stens are on the Curio and Relics list, and can be transferred into C&R only states. They may go directly to holders of a Curio and Relics license. New receiver Stens are not considered Curio or Relic guns.
There are several models or "Marks" of Stens. The most prolific model is the Mark II. You also may encounter a Mark III or a Mark V Sten. Models other than the common MKII will most likely be priced higher.
The Sten is a 9mm, select-fire submachine gun. The Sten may appear crude, but it is in reality, reliable and rugged. The gun is the usual subgun with an open-bolt and blow-back operated. The Sten's cyclic rate on full-auto is approximately 600 RPM. Barrel length is 9 inches. Overall length is 30 inches . Unloaded weight is 7.2lbs. The Sten receiver is a simple sheet metal tube. Most of the parts are stamped mild steel. Sten parts are inexpensive and easily obtained from a number of sources.
Original Stens were first manufactured during WWII by the British. During and after the war the Sten was copied and manufactured by several nations. Over 4 million Stens of all models were manufactured by Great Britain alone.
There are many accessories available for the Sten. Magazine pouches, brass catchers, books and manuals are common. Complete spare parts sets (less receiver) are now available at very reasonable prices.
Sten magazines are among the least expensive on the market. Magazines are available in 20, 32 and 50 round capacities. The 50-round mags were originally made for the British Lanchester submachine gun, but will also fit and function in a Sten.
There are several different stocks available for the Sten. The loop, the "T" and the pistol grip are the most common. In my opinion the loop stock is the most ergonomic.
One problem you may encounter with a Sten is that it will not shoot where the sights are set. The sights usually are welded into place and are not easily adjustable. The front sight is set in a dovetail and can be drifted right or left if the weld is cut. To fix the sight in place it most likely will need to be rewelded. The rear sight is best left as is.
The Stens offer a lot of value, and they make good shooters. They are reliable if they were built correctly. I have examined some pretty crude home-built ones. Ask questions before purchasing! The Sten looks like a machine gun and this alone makes it desirable to many folks. It also represents WWII history to others. Parts and magazines are inexpensive. They can be used to compete in the popular subgun matches in the classic categories. The 9mm cartridge is widely available, and is easily reloaded.
The Reising submachine gun was designed by Eugene Reising during WWII as a possible replacement for the expensive-to-produce Thompson Submachine Gun. The Reising was manufactured exclusively by Harrington and Richardson (H&R) a prominent gun manufacturer who later was awarded government contracts to produce M1 Garands and M14 rifles.
The Reising was adopted by the U.S. Marines in 1941. The Reising's military career was quite unsuccessful to say the least. The Reising's disastrous debut in combat with the Marines at Guadalcanal is legendary. Today, over 50 years later, the Reising's reputation is still tarnished. Its complicated, hand fitted, close tolerance design wasn't reliable under harsh combat conditions. Parts would not interchange readily between guns. The Reisings that didn't get destroyed by their Marine owners were relegated to rear echelon duty for the remainder of the war. After the war ended many surplus Reising found their way into police arsenals. The Reisings were very good at fulfilling a police role, where they received regular maintenance and were not subjected to part swapping and harsh field conditions.
Most Reisings available today have come to the class III market from police armories. Most progressive departments that have submachine guns in their inventories have up graded to more modern firearms like the 9mm, M16 or the 50-year-old MP5.
There are several models of the Reising. The Model 50 (the full-stock version) is the most common. The Model 55 Reising is a folding-stock, paratrooper model. The Model 55s are pricey due to their limited numbers. They do not fit into the bargain category.
There are two variations of the model 50. One is the commercial version. The other is the military model, the U.S. Model 50. Both style model 50s were used by the Marines. The military model is most likely a later model, developed to require less machining on the barrel, and for easier disassembly. Both model 50s feature a muzzle compensator. The Model 55 does not. There also exists a Reising Model 60. This is a semiautomatic only rifle. Its appearance is similar, except for a longer 16 inch barrel. The Model 60s are not NFA firearms.
The commercial Reisings are probably the most common. They are identified by a blued finish, have 29 tapered, radial cooling fins on the barrel, and a small trigger guard. They also have a small take-down screw that requires a screw driver to loosen. These Reisings are often offered in original wooden police hardcases. Once inexpensive, these cases now are collector's items. Very late production Reisings often have smooth, unfinned barrels.
The military Reisings have a dark green parkerized finish. The barrels have 14 radial cooling fins, and the fins are not tapered. The stock has a large trigger guard, and a large take-down screw that is knurled for removal without tools. Note: The trigger guard and the take-down screw are mounted on the wooden stock. It would be possible to encounter a commercial gun with a military stock or vice versa.
The Reising is a .45 ACP, select-fire weapon that is very accurate in the semiauto mode of fire. Its semiauto accuracy is partially due to its closed bolt operation. Full-automatic fire is another story. The Reising is a very light firearm. Being of closed bolt design, it doesn't require the abnormally heavy bolt of most submachine guns. At only 6.75 lbs., firing 700 rounds per minute of .45 ACP, makes the Reising somewhat difficult to control.
The Reising is fairly well constructed. The receiver is made of milled steel, not sheet metal. Many of the internal parts are steel stampings. The closed bolt locks by tilting up into a step milled into the receiver. The firing pin is spring loaded. The selector is mounted on the right side of the receiver. It slides into three positions; Safe, auto and semi-auto. If the gun is cocked and in the full-auto position, the cocking handle must be retracted about 1/4" to move the selector into the semiauto position. The cocking or charging handle is located underneath the barrel. There is an oval hole cut in the stock to allow access to it.
For all their faults as military weapons, the Reisings make a great recreational machine gun. They are not tube guns or conversions. They are on the ATF's Curio and Relics list. This makes them attractive to C&R license holders or residents of "C&R only" states.
In a civilian environment the Reisings are reliable, although if they are not periodically maintained, unreliability may be encountered. The .45 ACP cartridge is very common and easily reloaded. Many shooters prefer the more powerful .45 caliber over the 9mm in a subgun. The Reising is one of the very few inexpensive .45 ACP submachine guns available.
Original magazines are rather expensive and only come in 12 or 20 round capacities. In the past this was a drawback to the owners of Reisings. Today however, relatively inexpensive aftermarket 30-round capacity magazines are offered. In my experience, these magazines are reliable. They fit and function the same as the original mags. Parts are not especially common, but they are available. You just have to look harder to find them.
One point that needs to be made immediately is that "bargain" M2 Carbines will be semiautomatic M1 Carbines that have been converted in the M2 configuration by a class II manufacturer or an individual prior to May 1986. Original M2 Carbines, like original Stens, don't fit into the bargain category. Original M2 Carbines are considered Curio & Relics. Converted M1 carbines are not.
There are also aftermarket carbines offered in the full-auto configuration. Some manufacturers of these might be; Plainfield, Iver Johnson, National Ordnance, Santa Fe, Alpine Industries, or Universal. These are not manufactured military guns. Although many parts may be military, the receivers are not.
The carbine is not usually considered a submachine gun. The carbine falls somewhere in between a subgun and an assault rifle. Its cartridge is too powerful for subgun status and too weak for assault rifle classification. The carbine is normally not allowed to participate in most subgun matches because its cartridge is deemed too powerful for safety in such events.
The M1/M2 Carbine, like the Reising, suffers from a poor wartime reputation. In the carbine's case it is usually disdained because of its lack of power. None the less the carbine had a considerable service life. M1 and M2 Carbines were issued in WWII, Korea, Vietnam and countless other lesser known conflicts. Like the Reising, many carbines ended up in police departments, or were given to other countries as foreign aid.
The M2 Carbine has on occasion been criticized as being unreliable. It has been my experience to find that there are several reasons that a carbine won't function correctly. Worn or non-original parts, weak ammunition, and aftermarket 30-round magazines.
There are a few parts on a carbine that will cause ejection failures and related problems. In most cases replacement of these parts will cure any problems you may be having. These parts are: the ejector spring, the extractor and the extractor spring. These parts are all part of the bolt assembly.
The carbine is fun to shoot and reliable if original parts and magazines are used. The carbine is great for those who would like a little more horsepower than the usual pistol-caliber subgun offers. The carbine in full-auto (at about 750 RPM) is somewhat difficult to handle due to its light 5.5 pound weight. In the semiauto mode it is very accurate up to 200+ yards, something few subguns can match.
Due to the huge amount of carbines produced, and their long service life, spare parts, accessories and magazines are in abundance. Recently, many new parts including barrels, have become available at very reasonable prices.
Carbine ammunition is common in both surplus and newly manufactured forms. Reloading is fairly common. Brass and projectiles are offered by several manufacturers. Due to its high pressure and gas operation, cast lead bullets are not recommended for use in the carbine.
Carbide dies are offered by several companies. I have found it necessary to lube carbine cases, even when using carbide dies. It adds an extra step to the reloading process, but makes it less of a struggle. The ammunition produced is more reliable.
The carbine is a good choice for a shooter who would like a gun closer to the performance of an assault rifle, but at less cost. Magazines, parts and accessories are plentiful and inexpensive. Ammunition is slightly more expensive and less common than the 9mm or .45. Reloading is a little more difficult as well.
Of all the guns reviewed, the carbine looks the least like a machine gun. This fact alone turns off many buyers! The M2 carbine can be fitted with an inexpensive, after-market copy of the WWII M1A1 paratrooper stock for a more aggressive appearance. Original M1A1 stocks are not cut for the M2 configuration, while most aftermarket versions are.
The M-11 is probably most famous for its compact size and extremely fast cyclic rate of 1200+ rounds per minute. While this fast cyclic rate looks awesome on TV and in the movies, its real world application is limited to wasting ammo. The M-11 has often been described as a bullet hose. Of all the bargain machine guns reviewed it is certainly the most sinister appearing. It sounds great for about 1.5 seconds, the time it takes to blow through a 32 round magazine.
The M-11 is a descendant of the famous MAC-10 submachine gun. It is smaller and lighter than a MAC 10. An M11/9mm weights 3.75 pounds empty, and has an over all length of 23inches with the wire stock extended, (13 inches with the stock retracted). Receiver construction is a heavy gauge sheet metal, formed and welded together. Barrel length is 5.25". The parkerized finish is dark gray/ black. Normal magazine capacity is 32 rounds of 9mm ammunition.
The M-11 design, like the MAC-10 has been manufactured by several different companies, the original Military Armament Corporation MAC, (.380 caliber), RPB Industries and most recently by S.W.D. Inc.
There is also a rare .380 caliber MAC. These are priced much higher than a 9mm version, the reason being that the .380 cartridge's velocity is inherently subsonic. This makes the .380 version attractive to those who desire a suppressed subgun.
A major drawback to the M-11 is its 32-round magazines. They are made of plastic, and the lips will wear out with extended use. The plastic magazine that was examined with the M-11 in this article had over 3000 rounds through it, and showed no sign of wear what-so-ever. I am in no way implying that they don't wear out, I am trying to convey how long a plastic mag may last. For many folks 3000 rounds is only a few weeks shooting.
The M-11/9mm is the only bargain machine gun in this article that wasn't a common issue military firearm. Brand new-in-the-box, M-11s are still available from many class III dealers.
There is some good news; The M-11/9mm probably can be purchased cheaper than any other firearm in this review. Many people are attracted by its definite submachine gun appearance.
The magazine problem can be solved by the addition of a kit available to convert the M11/9mm to use inexpensive Sten magazines. The cost of the conversion is easily off- set by the price and utility of the inexpensive Sten magazines.
The M-11/9mm can also be altered to be very competitive in subgun contests. For a more in-depth story see Captain Monty's informative article "Task Slow Fire M11" in Small Arms Review, Volume 1 Number 1, and "Vanguard M-11" Volume 1 Number 11.
The M11/9mm in its original configuration has few attributes, although many people like its look and the fast cyclic rate. On the plus side, it can be altered, and there are parts available to do so inexpensively. It has been proven to be a viable competitor when properly configured. An M-11 can still be purchased brand new in-the-box. That is one thing the other arms in this review cannot boast of, except perhaps for an after-market M1/M2 carbine.
The M11 fires the very common 9mm cartridge. The 9mm parabellum cartridges are available as surplus, new manufacture and are easily reloaded. You will need a lot of them.
So concludes this overview of bargain machine guns. Machine guns though they may appear expensive, are in reality a very good investment. The prices are sure to continue to spiral upward, as they have done consistently over the past ten years. The quantities of transferable guns are shrinking. Prices are rising almost daily, as interest grows in machine guns and other Class III items . There is no better time to buy than now.

AT&T to offer free WatchTV video with new wireless plans
Telecom operator AT&T today announced the launch of two new unlimited wireless plans that will be bundled with a free video streaming service called WatchTV.
The mobile service provider did not give any indication on the price of the new unlimited wireless plans. Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint are yet to respond to the latest development in the US wireless market.
AT&T, the leading mobile operator in the US, is leveraging the company's $85 billion deal to buy media company Time Warner to pair video with mobile data plans on its nationwide 4G LTE network.
The No. 2 U.S. wireless carrier is putting to use Time Warner's stable of content, including TV channels like TBS and CNN, to drive sales of the wireless plans at a time when carriers have struggled to find growth.
WatchTV, which will have over 30 live channels but no sports or local news channels, will be free for customers of the new wireless plans. It will cost $15 per month as a standalone product. Customers who sign up for the higher-priced wireless plan can also get HBO for free.
A federal judge recently approved the merger of AT&T and Time Warner, handing AT&T a win after the U.S. Department of Justice sued to stop the deal, saying a merger would give AT&T unfair leverage over rival pay-TV providers.
AT&T, like other pay-TV providers, has been losing linear TV subscribers as viewers "cut the cord" on satellite TV packages in favor of cheaper streaming options. In the first quarter, AT&T shed 187,000 linear video subscribers.
The company also lost 22,000 wireless customers who pay a monthly bill during the first quarter, and while it was an improvement from the 348,000 customers it lost the previous year, continued losses have pressured AT&T to find ways to grow the valuable wireless business.
WatchTV as a standalone product will compete with other low-cost video streaming options, including Dish Network's Sling TV, which costs $20 for the base package, and Philo, which costs $16.
WatchTV's channel lineup, which includes AMC, HGTV and TNT, could appeal to viewers who do not have a large cable package or are looking to further trim the cord, said David Christopher, president, AT&T Mobility and Entertainment.

How To See Messages Of Others On Facebook: Facebook has a secret folder that's full of messages it thinks its users do not want to see.
In 2015, the business overhauled its Messenger solution to get eliminate the old system, which categories messages into ones that people may want to see in an "Inbox" as well as "Other". It switched it instead for the typical messages and also a folder called "Message Requests"-- an area where strangers can ask to call customers.
However there is still another folder that keeps people from seeing every message they've been sent out. The concealed messages live in a special folder called "Filtered Message Requests", and the name describes the fact that it seems to make use of modern technology to hide away messages that it believes people don't wish to see.
It can be found by opening up the Messenger application and going to the Setups tab at the bottom. There, you'll find a "People" option-- click that, choose "Message Requests" as well as choose the alternative to see "filtered Requests".
The device does often precisely detect spam, meaning that most of things you'll find there are most likely to be advertisements or weird, random messages.
Yet others have reported missing details concerning fatalities and also Other vital events.
Facebook has already drawn objection for straining the messages-- as well as not easily telling individuals how to find them. The filtering has even meant that some people have actually even missed out on messages notifying them that pals had actually died, Company Insider reported.
Others reported that they had missed out on Other important messages. "Wonderful one Facebook, this concealed message point has actually got my other half in splits," created Matt Spicer from Bristol. "She was spoken to by a cousin, that has actually died considering that sending the message."
And also one more Twitter individual called Brittany Knight said that she had lost her passport-- it was then discovered, however the individual attempted to return it through Facebook therefore could not connect with her.

Wordiness Is Your Enemy
by Pamela Chestek • January 12, 2015 • trademark • 0 Comments
Lawyers are wordy. Often the wordiness doesn't matter that much, "I hereby demand that you cease and desist" instead of "you must stop now" both get the point across. But never, ever write a contract that is wordy without a good reason, because that can put you into litigation hell.
Defendant 4EverYoung, Ltd., a UK company, had a Sales Distribution Agreement with plaintiff Derma Pen, LLC for distribution of a micro-needling device. Derma Pen terminated the agreement according to its provisions but then refused to comply with its post-termination obligations. Here's the clause that causes 4EverYoung significant pain:
As part of acknowledging the Distributors ownership of the Derma Pen Trademark in the US, The Distributor hereby acknowledges that should this distribution agreement be terminated in accordance with Section 11, the Distributor agrees to offer the Dermapen Trademark in the US for sale to 4EVER YOUNG and 4EVER YOUNG has the first right of refusal for such trademark. The Distributor and 4EVER YOUNG further agree that the value of the Dermapen US Trademark will be determined by independent auditors of which one will be appointed by both parties.
Should a satisfactory agreement on the price of the Dermapen US Trademark not be obtained within 30 days from the appointment of each independent auditor, both the Distributor and 4EVER YOUNG agree that the value will be determined by the courts of the land that is governing this contract and their decision will be final and binding upon both parties.
There was an identical provision for the dermapen.com domain name.
What were the parties trying to do? My guess is that 4EverYoung wanted to make sure it could get the trademark rights in the US when the distributorship ended. But Derma Pen wasn't going to give them up for nothing, and 4EverYoung didn't want to get screwed on the price, so they provided a mechanism for coming up with a fair market value.
So, can we all agree that this is horrible contract drafting? Let's start with "As part of acknowledging the Distributors ownership of the Derma Pen Trademark in the US …." Why say it? It implies there are other parts of the agreement that address the parties' ownership in their respective territories, so what does this add? And if ownership isn't clear in other provisions, this surely is a feeble way to get there.
Going on, "the Distributor hereby acknowledges that should this distribution agreement be terminated in accordance with Section 11 …." I don't know what "The Distributor hereby acknowledges that" adds – it's redundant to acknowledge that one has a duty to perform, because it is manifest in the fact that you entered into the agreement in the first place. But at least no harm, no foul.
And now we get into the meat of the problem – "the Distributor agrees to offer the Dermapen Trademark in the US for sale to 4EVER YOUNG and 4EVER YOUNG has the first right of refusal for such trademark." Why have a provision that makes the seller perform another act, in addition to terminating the contract, to get the ball rolling on the sale of the mark? Why not just say "Upon termination of this distribution agreement in accordance with Section 11, 4EVER YOUNG has the right to purchase the trademark," followed by a mechanism for valuation? I can't think of any reason you need to go through the exercise of making an offer, and my guess is that it comes about when someone thinks a lot of words makes it sound more lawyerly.
And what a nightmare the language created for 4EverYoung. Even though Derma Pen terminated the agreement, and the agreement provides 4EverYoung with a pretty bulletproof mechanism for gaining ownership the trademark, Derma Pen sued 4EverYoung for trademark infringement and moved for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction. 4EverYoung at first dodged the bullet when the district court denied the motion: "4EverYoung has the right to purchase those rights and has made attempts to do so, to which Derma Pen has been non-responsive. Derma Pen's rights in the trademark are waning and will be extinguished once 4EverYoung completes the purchase of the Domain Name and the United States trademark rights to Dermapen." But the Court of Appeals reversed:
We agree with Derma Pen, LLC, concluding that it is likely to prevail. The existing record would likely require findings that
– Derma Pen, LLC owns the U.S. trademark rights until they are sold, and
– no sale has taken place.
Thus, Derma Pen, LLC likely remains the owner of the trademark and the district court erred in predicting the outcome.
Luckily for 4EverYoung, it might still be able to avoid the preliminary injunction. While the preliminary injunction was on appeal, 4EverYoung moved for a order of specific performance to force the sale of the trademark. A December 30, 2014 decision parses the contract language to figure out exactly what performance is required, concluding "specific performance could require Derma Pen to make an offer to 4EverYoung and appoint an independent auditor, and to actively participate in and pay half the costs of filing in the United Kingdom to determine valuation." So even when 4EverYoung gets an order of specific performance it will only kick the can a little down the road, ordering Derma Pen to make an offer. This is a hard-fought battle, with three decisions in three different courts in 11 days, so more process just gives Derma Pen more opportunity for further obstruction.
The court's clause-by-clause analysis of the entire provision is worth a read; in it you'll also see that the parties' use of "right of refusal" probably doesn't mean what they intended it to mean.
The third decision was in bankruptcy court. Derma Pen had filed for bankruptcy but the court found that the petition was a litigation tactic, an "improper attempt by the Debtor to re-start the contract and trademark battle with the Movants in a new court" rather than a good faith effort to reorganize, so it dismissed the case.
Derma Pen has been a vigorous opponent and significantly delayed the inevitable, at least in part because of a poorly drafted contract provision. Don't be that wordy writer.

Recently I have been working with Dimitris Moustakas to create a set of animations from bluetooth network traces. The animations are based on a dataset managed by and downloaded from CRAWDAD. The data was originally collected as part of the Reality Mining Project at MIT in which 100 participants were given bluetooth-enabled mobile phones and encouraged to carry them around over the course of the 2004-2005 academic year. Special software on the phones recorded bluetooth connections between devices. Specifically, if a mobile phone was within range of another and a connection was established then the start and end times of the connection and the device identification number were logged. The visualisations were created using SoNIA, a Java-based social network animation tool.

The left-arm spinner's role in the team has been defined.
Shahbaz Nadeem's USP has been his accuracy which frustrates batsmen and Sunrisers Hyderabad spin bowling mentor Muttiah Muralitharan wants the Jharkhand left-arm spinner to stick to his core skills.
"Training under Murali has been great. I have picked up a couple of things under his guidance. I am implementing that in my bowling. He has asked me to stick to my stock ball (spinning away from right-handers) and not to vary much from it," said Nadeem.
"I think it doesn't matter much if you are a finger spinner or wrist spinner, if you are consistent with your performance and are taking wickets you will eventually get a chance wherever you play. You just have to keep performing well," Nadeem said.
In the IPL, SRH boast of a strong bowling line up including Indian pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan, Sandeep Sharma, Khaleel Ahmed, Siddarth Kaul and Bangladesh's Shakib Al Hasan and Nadeem will have to fight for a spot in the team.

The History of Mary Prince, A West Indian Slave
Mary Prince was the 1st Enslaved Black Woman to have her Enslaved Narrative transcribed with the Anti-Slavery Society in London, England and it was published in 1831 to assist with the Abolishment of the Slavery throughout the British Overseas Territories including Bermuda and these acts passed in Britain's Parliament in August 1833 and the Enslaved people in Bermuda received Emancipation on August 1,1834.
Mary Prince became a British abolitionist and autobiographer. Her enslaved narrative was the first account of the life of a black woman to be published in the United Kingdom. This first-hand description of the brutalities of enslavement, released at a time when slavery was still legal in Bermuda and British overseas territories, had a galvanizing effect on the anti-slavery movement. It was reprinted twice in its first year. Her Autobiography is now in a book called the History of Mary Prince a West Indian Slave which is sold online at Amazon and can be purchased at various book stores in Bermuda and overseas.
Mary Prince was born into slavery in Bermuda either between 1785-1788 (The exact date of the enslaved births were not kept on record in those days, because the enslaved were chattel or movable property, but guestimates can be made based on researching her Enslavers list of enslaved people on the property).
Her parents were enslaved. Her Father was named Prince and he was enslaved by David Trimmingham and built Bermuda Sloops and was a Master Carpenter and lived down at Crow Lane. Her Mother was named Sue was an enslaved domestic of Charles Myners, who lived in Brackish Pond, Devonshire. Mary had siblings, and they were all enslaved.
Over the course of her life, Mary Prince had five slave-owners, and they were all Bermudian, and she was enslaved in Bermuda, Grand Turk Island, and Antigua.
At this house Mary Prince lived from 12-17 years old and she realized her lot in life was to be a slave and she was angry because she wanted to be free! To be Free is SWEET! Looking for a Better way!
At a house called School Lands Cottage, in 2018, The Bermuda National Trust unveiled a plaque in honor of Mary Prince and her invaluable contribution for Freedom.
Mary Prince lived at School Lands Cottage, with Captain and Mrs. Ingham and in her autobiography, she describes how dreadfully horrible it was living with them, as she endured countless beatings from them and witnessed other enslaved people endure the same and one enslaved woman murdered by Captain Ingham. The Ingham's eventually sold Mary to a salt raking plantation owned by Robert Darrell, in Grand Turks Island.
Mary Prince was sent back to Bermuda by her enslaver, Robert Darrell and then sold to a plantation in Antigua owned by John Adams Wood Jr. In Antigua, she joined the Spring Gardens Moravian Mission church congregation, where she learned how to read and write. At Christmas 1826, Mary married a free black man, Daniel James.
About a year and a half after Mary married Daniel, the Woods went to London, England, and they took Mary with them. Shortly after they arrived, Mary walked out their door into the streets of London a free woman. It was 1828, and slavery was not supported by the British legal system, although it was still allowed in Britain's colonies.
Many people helped Mary when she was in London. They gave her warm clothes and money, and got her paying work. Near the end of November 1828, she was taken to the Anti-Slavery office in London, where she met Thomas Pringle an abolitionist. Mary wanted to return to Antigua, and to her husband Daniel, as a free woman. It was decided to try to negotiate with John Adams Wood Jr. for Mary's freedom, but Wood would not free her on any terms.
Next, it was decided to bring Mary's case to Parliament, and a petition was drawn up. It was presented 24 June 1829 and it expressed her wish to return to the West Indies, but not as an enslaved person. The petition was not successful. Soon after it was presented to Parliament, the Wood family returned to Antigua.
The Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 had its third reading in Parliament. This was on 26 July 1833. A month after that, on 28 August 1833, it received Royal Assent. It commenced on 1 August 1834.
There was a required six-year apprenticeship. This meant ex-slaves had to continue working for their previous slave-owners. Bermuda and Antigua were exempted from the apprenticeship program. On 1 August 1838, approximately 800,000 British slaves were truly, and finally, free.
The Act included £20 million in compensation for slave-owners who had lost their "property," when their slaves were freed. John Adams Wood Jr. registered 30 claims for over 1,000 slaves, including slaves on 13 estates in Antigua. He was successful in 25 of these claims, receiving over £10 thousand in compensation for 737 slaves (Legacies of British Slave-ownership). He was not able to claim for Mary Prince.
The third section of the Act freed all slaves who at any time previous to its passing had been brought with the consent of their slave-owners to any part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. This affected Mary Prince's situation. As of 28 August 1833, she could return to Antigua and remain free.
The Middle Passage and the institution of slavery is a catastrophic legacy of colonialism. A terrible and brutal knowledge, it also provides an opening for understanding. Discerning the past helps us to live in the present with the past, and the future, in mind.
Mary Prince was a storyteller, an abolitionist, and a rebel. Her slave narrative, The History of Mary Prince, A West Indian Slave, Related by Herself, tells a story of past enslavement in Bermuda that is different from the story of enslavement that has been more commonly told. This is that Bermudian enslavement was comparatively benign, or gentle or that is never existed at all.
Bringing Mary Prince's The History of Mary Prince, A West Indian Slave, Related by Herself forward, and reclaiming it, creates a space for change. Perhaps Mary's story can help us to better understand colonial enslavement, and to heal from trauma that is associated with its afterlife.

A simple zoom feature. Please?
Zoom in Object mode? The Arc-Rotate tool is pretty simple. In Scene mode? Change the camera's Field Of View (FOV).
Yes, a zoom. I've been trying to make models for a game called "Return to Blockland" And the models are actually life-size to the legos they represent. So, it's impossible to work with such small models, and if I zoomed made it bigger, I wouldn't be able to scale it back down; the arc thing is good for looking around, but there isn't a zoom feature.

Polar Partners with America's Most-Decorated Gymnast
and U.S. Olympic Hall of Famer Shannon Miller
Shannon Miller Helps Educate and Inform Families about the
Importance of Physical Activity and the Benefits of Heart Rate Training
Lake Success, N.Y. (XXXX) – Today, Polar (www.polar.com), the leader in heart rate monitoring and fitness assessment technologies, and the developer of Polar Loop, the first activity tracker with heart rate monitoring capabilities, announced a partnership with 7-time Olympic Medalist and the most-decorated gymnast in U.S. history, Shannon Miller, to help raise awareness and educate families about the benefits of measuring physical activity to improve long-term health and fitness levels.
Through her partnership with Polar, Miller will also be giving the keynote address at the 2014 American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation & Dance (AAHPERD) National Convention. In her address, Miller will touch on how technology is being used in physical education programs to motivate students and help teachers objectively evaluate students based on their individual efforts.
"I'm excited to partner with Polar and continue advocating the importance of fitness through the use of heart rate training," said Miller. "Having visited schools to get a deeper understanding of today's physical education classes and participating in more conversations about the use of Polar products and technology, I've seen how Polar is transforming the learning experience by providing teachers with the tools they need to motivate and encourage children to take control of their own health and track their fitness goals."
Miller is the president of both Shannon Miller Lifestyle: Health and Fitness for Women, which supports her online fitness tracking Shannon Miller Walk-Fit program, and the Shannon Miller Foundation, her non-profit dedicated to fighting childhood obesity. She also serves as a TV personality appearing on MSNBC, NBC, Comcast and Yahoo! Sports, and has authored multiple books and videos on fitness and health.
"As an Olympic athlete, mother, cancer survivor and long-time fitness supporter, Shannon brings a unique understanding of the value that Polar can bring to athletes and families alike," said Herb Baer, president of Polar USA. "Together, we share a vision for bringing technology to the forefront of physical education programs to improve the way parents and their children think about exercise, and we couldn't be more excited about this partnership."

Farm-to-Urban is the partner residency of ArtsUP! Concepts, bringing to foreground the artists' critical acknowledgement of diverse communities and environments spanning rural Dade and urban Broward Counties.
Visiting artists have an opportunity to qualify for placement at the residency. Free lodging is provided within a retreat in Southwest Dade County. The residency is intended to expose the visiting artist to a lot more than the immediate environment of urban art districts in Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Awareness of the diverse non-art community ArtsUP! serves is critical to creating exhibitions with relevant inclusive-value. Physically traversing Miami proper and the many shifting communities spanning the 48 mile distance to Fort Lauderdale, allows for the resident artist to learn empathy/understanding of the land and its people. An understanding that cannot be achieved unless witnessed and explored.

Dharamshala: At the request of a group of Taiwanese devotees, His Holiness the Dalai Lama of Tibet commenced the first of four days of teachings on 'Atisha's Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment' to an audience from over 60 counties at the main temple in Dharamshala: India.
Amid a buoyant atmosphere on the morning of September 1st, one of the most revered spiritual leaders of the world led the teachings with a brief, yet insightful introduction into Buddhism itself. The main temple, which numbered crowds surpassing 2000, was packed with a colourful array of Tibetans wearing traditional attire from a wealth of age groups, as well as foreign visitors, Indian guests, and a delegation of over 800 Taiwanese Buddhists.
Welcoming the guests eagerly, the Dalai Lama drew smiles and adoration from the gathering. Drawing upon a mixture of colourful stories, past experiences and His profound knowledge of Buddhist Dharma, He set to inspire and educate the rapt audience.
"The 20th century was one of violence and suffering. If non-violence and harmony could be developed, it would be through love and compassion".
His Holiness also re-iterated His message of secular ethics: urging the audience to not simply to look within the borders of one single religion, but to reach out - respecting and learning from the beliefs of others. He added that it is the responsibility of individuals to behave peacefully, compassionately and in a loving manner, stating that understanding ethics in a secular way does not mean one should ignore or reject their own religion – in fact quite the opposite. Moral ethics and responsibility are vital when implementing this, He added.
Adding affectionate humour to the stories, His Holiness described the need to understand the roots of His teachings. Drawing upon a past visit to a Buddhist ceremony, the Dalai Lama described how a monk, who was playing the Obo (traditional musical instrument), wore a hat which looked similar to the shape of a woodpecker. Jokingly, the Dalai Lama suggested to the monk that perhaps make the sound of the bird rather than the Obo he was playing.
"The next day, he was not wearing the hat" The Dalai Lama chuckled, as the audience burst into laughter. Importantly, he stated that: "What we have been through so far is the roots of the teachings [from Buddha]; the peripheral practices are not so important".
Having introduced and instructed Buddhist principles to better understand His teachings, the Dalai Lama introduced the text: 'Atisha's Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment' (Jangchup Lamdron). In Buddhism, the stages of the path; 'Lamrim' are crucial lessons. Although there are many different versions, all derive from 'Atisha's Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment'. To be educated in the sacred text by His Holiness the Dalai Lama was surely a dream come true for the devoted guests. Having inspired the delegation for both a morning and afternoon session; and introduced the text, the first day of teaching concluded brightly and successfully.


HUNT supporters look set to flout the law after the House of Commons was yesterday expected to make hunting illegal, possibly as early as next February.
And it appears that some hunt followers may seek to cause chaos by holding demonstrations which would hit the Government as MPs prepared to enforce their will, as The Chronuicle went to press.
The House of Lords had voted for allowing hunting to continue under a licensed system but this was rejected. At the earliest, the ban will start in February but it could be delayed until 2006.
Tom Fell, regional director of the Countryside Alliance, said: 'I think what you will find is people will find a way whereby they can continue hunting because there will be ambiguity in the wording of the law, so it will be interesting to see if the police are prepared to enforce the law.
'I'm not saying I am about to go out and break the law but I think it's inevitable some people will. More importantly, we will explore every avenue to continue hunting while staying within the law.
Mr Fell, who hunts, says the Countryside Alliance will mount a legal challenge if the Parliament Act is invoked in defiance of the Lords.
Mr Fell says the impact of a ban on rural communities will be devastating.
He said it had been estimated that 8,000 full-time jobs would be lost throughout the country, including those who work directly for the hunts and also the farriers who shoe the horses, the companies which supply the saddles and tackle as well as the foodstuff plus medicines for the animals.
'The ramifications are enormous,' he said. 'One of the things this Government espouses is keeping people in the community - working in their community.
Mr Fell said the majority of hounds from the hunts, which can keep up to 80, would have to be destroyed because they were notoriously difficult to re-home as domestic pets.
'It's not out of malice, but they are boisterous and they could chew things,' explained Mr Fell. He says drag-hunting, in which a hunt follows an artificial scent, was not an alternative for him because he is fascinated by the skills of the hounds in a real chase.
Nancy Shepherd, a secretary for the Sir Watkin Williams Wynn hunt, which covers Cheshire, Flintshire and Shropshire, said a ban on hunting would not mean the fox would be saved.
She said the Wynnstay Hunt had about 60 hounds which would have to be put down if a ban came into force. She claimed not many people in the rural area were against hunting as indicated by the public support in Malpas each Boxing Day.
John McBlain, of North West League Against Cruel Sports, said if pro-hunters decided to break the law they would have to 'face the consequences'. He said converting to drag-hunting would ensure there was no impact on the rural way of life. Mr McBlain believes the fox population is self-regulating with no need for pest control. He dismissed the argument that fox-hunting was the least cruel way of dealing with the animal.

Hydrated soul;
a state in which the soul is healthy in and of itself
find what hydrates your soul and pursue it
Hydrated Soul JULIA PAPAS
Oct 13 Frank Ocean
Julia Papas
Featured Artists, Rap, R&B
Frank Ocean is back, and better than ever. After taking four years off, he has returned with a new album, Blonde, proving that it was well worth the wait.
Singer, songwriter, and rapper Frank Ocean got his start with music in his teenage years, walking dogs and washing cars to get studio time. After his hometown, New Orleans, was hit by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Ocean decided to move to Los Angeles for just six weeks to continue recording music until his hometown recording studio could start back up. However, he began to develop connections with people in the music industry. He quickly got a songwriting deal, and started writing for artists such as John Legend, Justin Bieber, and Beyoncé. While he loved writing songs for other people because of the anonymity yet still being involved in the music industry, he still wanted to pursue his own music career. In 2009, he met Tricky Stewart, and he signed his first solo deal with Def Jam Recordings. Ocean released his first song, Novacane, in 2011. Word traveled fast about his debut single as his distinct voice and rhythmic sound set him apart from other artists. Although his success was building, he continued to cowrite songs as he collaborated with Jay-Z and Kanye to produce "No Church in the Wild" and "Made in America". In 2012, his single "Thinkin Bout You" was the lead single to his album channel ORANGE.
Channel ORANGE, Ocean's first album, got six Grammy nominations, selling 130,000 copies in the first week and was number two on the Billboard 200. The public went crazy, immediately in love with Ocean's album. Critics everywhere were saying that even though Ocean was an R&B artist, this album had an alternative R&B sound, setting him apart from other artists. This album's paramount success made Ocean a common name in the music industry, making fans anxious for his next music release.
Unfortunately for fans, Ocean took a four year hiatus from releasing music, making fans concerned with whether he was coming back or not. There were rumors that Ocean was working on new material. However, the rumors were never proven true, as Ocean continued to stay private. In 2016, Ocean finally came out with a seventeen song album. Blonde.
The majority of the album is R&B based, showcasing his vocal ability. However, there are elements of rap in the album, such as in Nikes, Solo, Skyline To, Seigfried, and Futura Free. There are two songs on the album that stand out from any other time of music produced currently, and they are Be Yourself and Facebook Story. Be Yourself is a voice recording of an older woman warning about drugs, smoking, alcohol, and self worth. The recording ends with "This is Mom, bye.". The specialty to this addition to the album because while it has a soft music background, there is no singing, just an inspirational warning message. Facebook Story is told from the perspective of a man with an accent. He is telling the story of a girl that he was dating at the time who thought that he was cheating because he didn't accept her on Facebook. The man explains that this means nothing and that "I'm in front of you, I'm everyday here in your house", but she was so obsessed with virtual possession that this didn't matter to her. This shows Ocean's maturity because he included this in his album to speak about what we can assume are his beliefs in social media and the virtual world versus real life and personal connection.
It is obvious that Ocean has spent the past four years carefully crafting this album. He did not simply throw some songs together in a random fashion to please his fans and show off his talent. All of the songs on the album have deep meaning and have different vibes to them. Not only is this impressive, but it sets Ocean apart from every other current artist, as he is using his talent wisely and creating his own personal sound.
With all of this in mind, I ask you, was the four year wait worth it?
Frank Ocean, Blonde
Keep up!

A 2011-2012 Fulbright scholarship recipient, Uyen Nicole Duong's writing career first blossomed at age 16 when she was awarded the Republic of Vietnam's National Honor Prize for Literature, barely a month before the fall of Saigon. Duong escaped to life in America, graduating from Harvard Law School and becoming the first Vietnamese American appointed as a judge in the United States. Following the success of Daughters of the River Huong praised by Library Journal as a "…beautifully written debut novel" and Mimi and Her Mirror praised by Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Robert Olen Butler as "…a powerful saga from a writer of talent giving voice to people from one of the most successful immigrant communities in American history," Duong gives new voice to the Vietnamese Boat People of her past in the novella: POSTCARDS FROM NAM (AmazonEncore; August 15, 2011; $10.95).
Duong returns to the story of Mimi, the protagonist of Mimi and Her Mirror , whose life as a successful lawyer in Washington, D.C. is suddenly brought back to the war-torn Vietnam of her childhood when anonymous postcards begin to arrive. Postmarked from Thailand, each hand-drawn card is beautifully rendered and signed simply "Nam." While Mimi doesn't recognize the name, Nam obviously knows her well, spurring her to launch what will become a decade-long quest to find him. As her search progresses, long-repressed memories begin to bubble to the surface of the boy who once loved her, his path tragically different from Mimi's own. What ensues is a heartbreaking revelation of those Mimi left behind amid an inspiring story of courage, survival, and the indomitable strength of the human spirit.
Duong, a Harvard graduate and the first Vietnamese American appointed as a judge in the United States, presents this carefully crafted tale coupled with history from her own past. She is available for interview this summer and can discuss the following, among other topics:
Her upcoming Fulbright fellowship; Duong's research on human trafficking in Southeast Asia and how she proposes both legal and non-legal measures to combat this global problem.
Her firsthand account of the fall of Saigon; Duong escaped the city on a cargo plane in 1975, leaving behind many of her loved ones as well as copies of her first novella, fresh off the press and awaiting distribution by her beloved grandfather.
Her inspiration for POSTCARDS FROM NAM ; how her past influences her writing and painting on l'Art Brut today (select images available for use).
How her profession as a lawyer has influenced her writing; Duong is the first Vietnamese American appointed as a judge in the United States and served as an associate municipal judge and magistrate in Texas. She was also a law professor for 10 years at the University of Denver and has recently been selected as a Fulbright scholar by the U.S. government.
A heart wrenching tale which transports readers to the war-torn alleys of Vietnam, POSTCARDS FROM NAM offers a portrait of a lost generation and is not to be missed.
My Take on the Book
While I did not read the first two stories in this series, this book could definitely stand on its own. The author does a wonderful job at bringing the reader into the story itself, and uses great imagery to include the reader in the dialogue and action of the story.
The author also has done a good job at developing the characters for the reader. Even though a number of the characters are held over from earlier books, a new reader can also come to a better understanding of their lives and feel for the struggles that they endure.
The book does an amazing job at shedding light to the world of Vietnam. It brings light to the world that was Vietnam and lets you see the world through the eyes of its inhabitants.
The only downside to the book was that the book did leave a lot of questions unanswered about Mimi and her family and for me I tend to like at least some closure on books when I am complete, but that is just me.
Saying this though, this short novella was a good read and was one that I would still recommend to all!


CMAJ deputy editors Dr. Matthew Stanbrook and Dr. Kirsten Patrick discuss an editorial written by Dr. Stanbrook. Too often, at election time, Canadians ignore pressing health care concerns and let economic fears dominate how we vote. This needs to change. A plan for strong federal leadership in health should be front and centre in this year's election.
Also, a research article by McAlister et. al., published in CMAJ, looks at level of physician experience and its effect on important patient outcomes that proxy for quality of care. Physician groups were stratified according to years since graduation. Dr. Matthew Stanbrook, deputy editor, provides an editor's summary of the article and its findings.
