Climat
Le climat qui caractérise la commune est qualifié, en 2010, de « climat méditerranéen altéré », selon la typologie des climats de la France qui compte alors huit grands types de climats en métropole. En 2020, la commune ressort du type « climat méditerranéen » dans la classification établie par Météo-France, qui ne compte désormais, en première approche, que cinq grands types de climats en métropole. Pour ce type de climat, les hivers sont doux et les étés chauds, avec un ensoleillement important et des vents violents fréquents.

Les paramètres climatiques qui ont permis d'établir la typologie de 2010 comportent six variables pour les températures et huit pour les précipitations, dont les valeurs correspondent à la normale 1971-2000. Les sept principales variables caractérisant la commune sont présentées dans l'encadré ci-après.

Avec le changement climatique, ces variables ont évolué. Une étude réalisée en 2014 par la Direction générale de l'Énergie et du Climat complétée par des études régionales prévoit en effet que la  température moyenne devrait croître et la pluviométrie moyenne baisser, avec toutefois de fortes variations régionales. La station météorologique de Météo-France installée sur la commune et mise en service en 1977 permet de connaître en continu l'évolution des indicateurs météorologiques. Le tableau détaillé pour la période 1981-2010 est présenté ci-après.

Hydrographie
La ville est arrosée par le fleuve côtier Tech qui fait des boucles et donne ce relief si escarpé à la cité. Le Mondony traverse le sud de la ville pour se jeter dans le Tech.

Milieux naturels et biodiversité

Réseau Natura 2000

Le réseau Natura 2000 est un réseau écologique européen de sites naturels d'intérêt écologique élaboré à partir des directives habitats et oiseaux, constitué de zones spéciales de conservation (ZSC) et de zones de protection spéciale (ZPS).
Un site Natura 2000 a été défini sur la commune au titre de la directive habitats : « le Tech », d'une superficie de , héberge le Barbeau méridional qui présente une très grande variabilité génétique dans tout le bassin versant du Tech. Le haut du bassin est en outre colonisé par le Desman des Pyrénées.

Zones naturelles d'intérêt écologique, faunistique et floristique

L'inventaire des zones naturelles d'intérêt écologique, faunistique et floristique (ZNIEFF) a pour objectif de réaliser une couverture des zones les plus intéressantes sur le plan écologique, essentiellement dans la perspective d'améliorer la connaissance du patrimoine naturel national et de fournir aux différents décideurs un outil d'aide à la prise en compte de l'environnement dans l'aménagement du territoire.

Deux ZNIEFF de  sont recensées sur la commune :
 « le Vallespir » (), couvrant  du département ;
 le « massif des Aspres » (), couvrant  du département.

Occupation des sols

L'occupation des sols de la commune, telle qu'elle ressort de la base de données européenne d'occupation biophysique des sols Corine Land Cover (CLC), est marquée par l'importance des forêts et milieux semi-naturels (91,7 % en 2018), une proportion identique à celle de 1990 (91,6 %). La répartition détaillée en 2018 est la suivante :
forêts (80,1 %), milieux à végétation arbustive et/ou herbacée (11,6 %), zones urbanisées (5,8 %), zones agricoles hétérogènes (2,6 %).

L'IGN met par ailleurs à disposition un outil en ligne permettant de comparer l'évolution dans le temps de l'occupation des sols de la commune (ou de territoires à des échelles différentes). Plusieurs époques sont accessibles sous forme de cartes ou photos aériennes : la carte de Cassini (), la carte d'état-major (1820-1866) et la période actuelle (1950 à aujourd'hui).

Voies de communication et transports
Elle est desservie par la route , qui doit faire l'objet d'aménagements dans la prochaine décennie afin de permettre une meilleure communication entre la ville et la plaine littorale.

La ville était de plus desservie par le chemin de fer avant sa destruction par l'inondation . Une voie verte reliant Le Boulou à Arles-sur-Tech emprunte la plateforme de l'ancienne voie ferrée.

En matière de transports en commun, la commune est desservie par les lignes 530, 531, 532 et 535 du réseau régional liO.

Elle dispose aussi de son propre réseau de bus, Amélia.

Risques majeurs
Le territoire de la commune d'Amélie-les-Bains-Palalda est vulnérable à différents aléas naturels : inondations, climatiques (grand froid ou canicule), feux de forêts, mouvements de terrains et séisme (sismicité moyenne). Il est également exposé à un risque technologique,  le transport de matières dangereuses, et à deux risques particuliers, les risques radon et minier.

Risques naturels
Certaines parties du territoire communal sont susceptibles d'être affectées par le risque d'inondation par crue torrentielle de cours d'eau du bassin du Tech.

Les mouvements de terrains susceptibles de se produire sur la commune sont soit des mouvements liés au retrait-gonflement des argiles, soit des glissements de terrains, soit des chutes de blocs, soit des effondrements liés à des cavités souterraines. Une cartographie nationale de l'aléa retrait-gonflement des argiles permet de connaître les sols argileux ou marneux susceptibles vis-à-vis de ce phénomène. L'inventaire national des cavités souterraines permet par ailleurs de localiser celles situées sur la commune.

Ces risques naturels sont pris en compte dans l'aménagement du territoire de la commune par le biais d'un plan de prévention des risques inondations et mouvements de terrains.

Risques technologiques

Le risque de transport de matières dangereuses sur la commune est lié à sa traversée par une canalisation de transport de gaz. Un accident se produisant sur une telle infrastructure est en effet susceptible d'avoir des effets graves au bâti ou aux personnes jusqu'à , selon la nature du matériau transporté. Des dispositions d'urbanisme peuvent être préconisées en conséquence.

Risque particulier
La commune est concernée par le risque minier, principalement lié à l'évolution des cavités souterraines laissées à l'abandon et sans entretien après l'exploitation des mines.

Dans plusieurs parties du territoire national, le radon, accumulé dans certains logements ou autres locaux, peut constituer une source significative d'exposition de la population aux rayonnements ionisants. Toutes les communes du département sont concernées par le risque radon à un niveau plus ou moins élevé. Selon la classification de 2018, la commune d'Amélie-les-Bains-Palalda est classée en zone 3, à savoir zone à potentiel radon significatif.

Amélie-les-Bains
Amélie-les-Bains était jadis connue sous le nom Els Banys d'Arles (« Les Bains d'Arles »). Le nom dArles (Arulas en 934) viendrait des racines Ar et El, désignant une vallée se transformant en plaine et la présence d'une rivière dans cette même vallée. Les « Bains d'Arles » étaient les sources chaudes, situées à proximité d'Arles, puis les thermes romains liés à ce lieu.

À la suite de la construction du fort par Vauban en 1670, le territoire prend le nom de « Fort-les-Bains ».

La commune change de nom le  pour devenir « Amélie-les-Bains » en hommage à la reine Marie-Amélie de Bourbon-Siciles, épouse de .

Objectifs
Premier vol opérationnel de la navette spatiale, l'objectif principal était de déployer deux satellites commerciaux et une charge scientifique.

Déroulement du vol
STS-5 a été lancée du centre spatial Kennedy (KSC) à  le . La navette a transporté un équipage de quatre personnes - le plus grand équipage du vaisseau spatial jusqu'à ce moment-là - et les deux premiers satellites commerciaux de télécommunications à voler à bord une navette.

Les satellites commerciaux ont été déployés avec succès et ont ensuite été propulsés sur leur orbite géosynchrone opérationnelle par leur moteur d'apogée McDonnell Douglas PAM-D. Les deux satellites étaient SBS 3, propriété de Satellite Business Systems, et Anik C3, propriété de Télésat Canada, deux satellites de série Hughes HS-376. En outre, la charge utile de STS-5 comportait également un bac d'expérience GAS (Getaway Special) de microgravité parrainé par l'Allemagne de l'Ouest. L'équipage a également mené trois expériences conçues par des élèves pendant le vol.

Lenoir et Allen devaient effectuer une sortie extravéhiculaire (EVA), la première du programme de la navette, pour tester les combinaisons spatiales nouvellement développées. Celles-ci ont été développées comme alternatives moins chères et moins complexes que celles du programme Apollo. Le test a été retardé d'un jour car Lenoir a succombé au mal des transports. Puis un régulateur d'oxygène fonctionnant mal dans le scaphandre de Lenoir et un ventilateur de recirculation cassé dans celui d'Allen les ont obligés à annuler complètement l'EVA. C'était la première fois dans l'histoire du programme spatial qu'une EVA avait été annulée en raison de problèmes de combinaison spatiale.

Columbia a atterri sur la piste 22 de la Edwards Air Force Base le , à , après avoir parcouru 81 orbites lors d'une mission qui a duré 5 jours, 2 heures, 14 minutes et 26 secondes.

STS-5 a été le premier vol de navette dans lequel l'équipage n'a pas porté de combinaisons pressurisés lors des phases de lancement, de rentrée et d'atterrissage, tout comme lors des missions soviétiques Voskhod et Soyouz avant la malheureuse mission Soyouz 11 en 1971.

Sigur Ros teamed with cannabis brand Lord Jones to release a limited-edition line of "Wild Sigurberry" grumdrop edibles.
Sigur Rós teamed with cannabis brand Lord Jones to create a line of cannabis-infused medicated gumdrops. The "Wild Sigurberry" limited-edition brand was inspired by the flavors of foraged Icelandic berries: wild blackberries, strawberries and blueberries.
The gumdrops come in five dosage options: five, 10 and 20 milligrams of THC; the "Lord Jones' signature 5:1 ratio CBD to THC formulation" and pure CBD. The edibles will be available as in nine-piece boxes featuring a Sigur Rós crest designed by London illustrator Andrew Rae.
The THC-infused varieties will be sold through the Lord Jones website and via select California dispensaries to qualified medical marijuana patients, and the pure CBD variety is available for nationwide delivery through the Lord Jones site.
Last week, Sigur Rós kicked off a new round of dates on their intimate theater tour. They will perform April 13th, 14th and 15th at Los Angeles' Walt Disney Concert Hall, accompanied by the L.A. Philharmonic.

The 1st lifeproof skin idealizer for a spectacular transformation of skin quality: fresh complexion, even skintone, refined pores and rested features.
I am using the Serum and moisturizer of the Idealia line. I was surprised of the experience and the result of this products. It was not give any sticky feelings at all. My skin feels hydrated and smooth. My complexion seems brighter. In terms of wrinkle free effect, I cannot say much as I was just starting this for about 3-4 weeks now. But this products have a lot of potential! Way to go, Vichy!
After using up a whole bottle of this serum, I had to throw in the towel. It did nothing, absolutely nothing for my skin. If anything, instead of improving skin texture, it made every single dry patch more visible and my pores could probably be seen by a neighbouring galaxy.
Such a disappointment, as Vichy Aqualia range of moisturizers is my jam!
I haven't fallen in love with this serum. I usually love Vichy and was hoping to see my skin tone looking more even and hydrated but to be honest I've had better luck with budget brands when it comes to serums. While I wouldn't say its bad (no breakouts so far or anything) it's just not for me, unfortunately. I didn't mind the texture, fragrance or how it felt on my skin, just didn't live up to what I was hoping for. Will likely keep as a backup or pass along to a friend.
I got this Vichy Idealia serum as a sample. I totally fall in love with it. The frangance from it smells so lovely. I am early 40, and some serums are too oily and my skin startshaving zits problems. After using this every day for 2 weeks, i can feel my skin is brighter and tighter. I can feel my skin is smoothy too and i don't have any zits anymore. Highly recommend people using Vichy.
I have been using Vichy Idealia Life serum for quite some time, and it has been my most favorite one so far. This serum makes my skin feel so soft, and overtime definitely improves the tone and texture. It goes even better if you use it in combination with a hydrating cream. The texture is very light, yet hydrating. Perfect for warm months, but still quite good if you live in harsh winter weather.
I realy take my time to try this product out. I have been using this along with the same line moisturizer for about 2 weeks now. This gives result more than I expected. My facial skin feels smoother, plumpier and more hydrated. I enjoy using it after taking the evening shower. It doesn't give any tackynes and your skin just absorb it real quick. Good job Vichy!
I have used a bunch of Vichy products in the past and been satisfied. Unfortunately, this one did not impress me. The one single reason is that is too thick and creamy for a serum, when I applied my moisturizer after it, it was a mess and started peeling. I'd use it as a moisturizer by itself, but definitely NOT as a serum.
I have acne prone skin that gets very oily and this product is amazing! It doesn't break me out and helps with the clarity of my skin as well and any trouble spots. If i dot a bit of this product on pimple at night by the morning they are reduced in size.


Amazing use of source...I love this! Just one quibble: It looks like the eye sockets are showing the star field behind the head. Did you really want him to have a transparent head? Still, high vote for imagination.
Thanks Bob, those aren't stars in the eye socket, those are highlights (look at the source pic). I toned them down a bit so they aren't as bright.
OK, I see...but on first view that's what it seems like. Why not alter the eye sockets a bit?
This is what sources are for. Have a cup of coffee, think, look for other sources...it takes time, but at the end, it pays to have such talent. Good job! Sharp and clear image. Good luck!
Congrats Rein. So you're the man from space. Rx.
Special thanks to patty for generously contributing the Contest Source!
Congratulations Rein, nice, scary image.!


TNA Knockout Lacey Von Erich announced today on her Twitter page that she is no longer working for TNA.
"I decided to respectfully leave TNA today. I want to try new things, like be a sports host or something," Lacey said.
Lacey joined TNA in October 2009 as part of the Beautiful People group.
Caldwell's Analysis: Lacey hasn't developed yet as a wrestler, which has held her back on being utilized by TNA other than as a "backstage character" hanging around with the Beautiful People.


 Real Madrid 4-0 Osasuna. Ronaldo warms up for Munich with 2 rockets!
The hosts reached their third goal of the night near the 60th minute of the game and this time the news are that it wasn't Ronaldo scoring it, but rather Sergio Ramos. The Spanish defender got involved in an attacking play as he had already done before for quite a few times in this very same game, and when he saw the cross coming in from Angel Di María's left foot, he basically knew his close-range header wasn't going to be stopped... That was Ramos second goal this season and his 43rd for Real Madrid since he joined the club from Sevilla, back in 2005.
With tonight's brace, Cristiano Ronaldo has now reached the 30-goal mark in La Liga, opening the gap to Atletico Madrid's Diego Costa into a 3-goal difference (27) and leaving Barcelona's Lionel Messi behind with 26 goals. The fact that Ancelotti decided to play Ronaldo only for 60 minutes of this Saturday's game is a good indication that the Portuguese forward will probably line-up against Bayern Munich next Tuesday. The former Chelsea manager is therefore expected to restore the BBC attacking partnership by sending Ronaldo in, next to Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema.
Attackers: Di María, Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema.
Cristiano Ronaldo next game for Real Madrid will be against Bayern Munich, for the UEFA Champions League semi-finals second leg, on April 29, 2014. You can watch Juventus live stream, Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid, Villarreal vs Barcelona, Liverpool vs Chelsea, and Sunderland vs Cardiff, all matches provided from our soccer live streming section.


Diana Jettcrash, more commonly know as Terren Mueller, was crowned the winner of the 2019 Rider Drag Race.
One of Rider's largest annual events returned for its third installment on Feb. 1. Students filled the theater in the Bart Luedeke Center to watch the Rider Drag Race as four competitors took the stage for a fun-filled, jaw-dropping night full of laughs and praise.
The event was co-hosted by junior musical theater major Anna Sanzone from the Student Entertainment Council and defending Rider Drag Race champion and junior English major Sean Hubert as Spectra Electra. The event was broken down into three segments: individual performances, catwalk with question and answer and lip sync.
The 2018 Rider Drag Race champion, Spectra Electra, opened the show a with a performance.
Each of the four drag queens had unique and distinct styles in their personalities, looks and presentations, and, in the end, 20-year-old junior musical theater major Terren Mueller was crowned champion as his drag persona Diana Jettcrash.
Despite being a rookie competitor, Mueller was just as prepared as some of the show's returning drag queens.
Fans in the audience voted for the winner by donating toward a specific competitor through Venmo or with cash. In total, just under $1,900 was raised – over three times what was raised from last year's Rider Drag Race. The money raised will go to Rider's Relay for Life as well as to New Hope Celebrates, a local LGBTQ+ pride organization based out of New Hope, Pennsylvania.
The night also featured special appearances from two distinguished drag queens—Miss Pumpkin, who has raised over three-quarters of a million dollars for AIDS related causes, and Phoebe Manntrappe, who displayed a softer side of drag to the audience.
Miss Pumpkin, a veteran drag queen, made a special appearance during this year's drag race.
Nick Barbati, the assistant director of campus life, was thrilled with the turnout of the event.
"Two years ago, we brought it back as a small-scale program in the Rider Pub and we packed it out, and the event was awesome. So last year, we thought the event was big enough to try putting it in the [BLC] theater and we sold out," Barbati said.
The 2019 edition of The Rider Drag Race was also a sold-out crowd.
For the people involved and for many of the spectators, the Drag Race was not only about having a good time, but rather it was a way of respecting and inspiring people to be themselves and do what they love and feel in the harsh world of social politics as well as reflecting on how far society has come in its acceptance.
Mueller expressed that his goal was to make the audience feel both fear and attraction to his character.

Rei da Cacimbinha, Vol. 2 é o primeiro álbum e DVD da banda de arrocha, O Rei da Cacimbinha ou popularmente conhecida como Rei da Cacimbinha. O álbum foi lançado em 24 de julho de 2015.

Repercussão

O clipe de "Pop 100" foi visualizado mais de 11 milhões de acessos no YouTube. É uma paródia da canção "Na 1100 Ela Empina o "******", do grupo Maderada do Arrocha. Na versão de Hélio o interprete da banda.

A vertente criada por ele acentua o ritmo dançante de cornetas e percussão eletrônica em letras com bordões, paródias e duplo sentido, como "Comendo a Quilo" e "Muriçoca". A canção sobre um mosquito que "****" e "****" foi um grande sucesso no Carnaval 2015. À época, a banda fez 15 apresentações em cinco dias. Hélio Pires a (voz), conta mais de 300 shows em menos de um ano de estrada. Segundo ele, cerca de 30 mil pessoas foram à gravação do DVD ao vivo na cidade de Messias, em janeiro de 2014.

No palco, o grupo passeia entre canções próprias de sucessos axé music, funk carioca e arrocha. Assim como no álbum de estreia, a guitarra marca o ritmo enquanto o teclado faz as vezes de bateria eletrônica. De produção a apresentação, passando por gravação e distribuição, o esquema se repete no segundo CD -lançado em junho. O vocalista afirma que suas músicas precisam correr a internet para chegar às ruas. "A gente não depende de rádio", diz. A gravação é pensada para poderosos sistemas de som, e as letras se adequam às regiões do Brasil. O "fluxo" (baile funk de rua de São Paulo) vira "boteco" na sua versão para a música "Tava na Rua", do funkeiro MC Pikachu.

It was a different President Trump who sat along with teachers, parents and students in a circle as they came asking for help to deal with the issue of gun-shooting at schools. In the wake of the recent mass murder of students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, Florida, by a suspended teenager Nikolas Cruz of the same school, a listening session was held at the White House with all related representatives putting forward their cases for stringent gun control. And this time the President was listening!
By participating in such an event the President indicated that he was truly interested in arriving at a realistic solution to the gun problem. Emotions ran high as several suggestions were put forth by the assembled people like increasing security at schools, hiking age limits for purchasing an assault rifle, training students in case of a gun shootout and so on. There were parents who had lost their children in the latest or the earlier shoot out acts of 1999 and 2012 that had occurred in the country and they along with the others were putting the pressure on to the President. The President was putting in words of consolation and reassurance during the entire event. Students who survived the last week shooting were busy in Tallahassee lobbying for ban on use of assault rifles with the Florida state lawmakers.
However, it is not going to be so easy for the President what with the Republican Party favoring the easy purchase of guns while the Democrats favoring the reverse. It will require the President to pull in all his impartial skills of deal-making if he has to achieve success for sorting out this issue.
Nevertheless, the President agreed that they both together will be getting down to the solution. It is not an easy task he said but he promised that an answer would be found.

Q: Get correct NSRect in NSTextView when image insert I use [NSTextView firstRectForCharacterRange:actualRange:]
and [NSLayoutManager boundingRectForGlyphRange:inTextContainer:] get cursor rect, it works right when only pure text in NSTextView.
But when I insert image to text view,  [NSTextView firstRectForCharacterRange:actualRange:] return wrong result(NSRectZero), and [NSLayoutManager boundingRectForGlyphRange:inTextContainer:] return right value in TextView but convert to superview is wrong.
only when the image is bigger than textview bounds happen.
Anyone knows about how to resolve that?

July 2009 unemployment data was released this morning by the BLS and I've updated the site to reflect the new numbers. The national unemployment rate went from 9.5% in June to 9.4% in July which was a pleasant surprise. All levels of unemployment by education showed either improvement or flat month to month changes. Unemployment by race/ethnicity showed small improvements for Whites and Blacks but worsened a little bit for Hispanics and Asians. In the four unemployment age brackets I'm tracking there were small improvements in every group except the 45-54 set where the M/M rise in unemployment was a small 0.1 percentage points.
The broader measures of unemployment like U-5 and U-6 both improved modestly month over month. Also noteworthy is that the median period of unemployment declined by 2.2 weeks from June to July after a big jump the previous month.
All in all it seems like a positive report considering most were expecting the unemployment rate to increase by 0.1 percentage points.
Update: I updated some links since I moved the unemployment demographic data and unemployment duration data to their own pages.


One of the solitary essential ideas in company is the sales funnel. Sales funnels can boost your revenue online by automating your company. They supply a path of the very least resistance to growing as well as scaling your service on autopilot. Yet after hanging around with several of the globe's best marketers, I can inform you with near assurance, not just how sales funnels will certainly enable you to make even more cash online, but which details funnels you must implement.
Now, if you're anything like me, you could be averse to particular funnels. For example, I'm not at all a shopping guy, but I do understand that free-plus-shipping funnels are absolutely squashing it. In fact, simply this past week, while going to the Closing Table Mastermind with Perry Belcher and also Roland Frasier, I gained a lot more understanding into the appealing "tripwire" funnel, purportedly coined by Perry Belcher.
However, Belcher didn't invent the concept. He attracted that from an old Columbia House advertisement that sold 13 CDs or tapes for the large price of $1.00. Remember it? Yet all of us know that this irresistible offer (aka tripwire) had method extra to it than simply the $1.00 price tag. Behind-the-scenes, there was a connection program at the office. In Columbia House's' version, this was called unfavorable option billing. That means, you instantly obtain regular monthly deliveries (in addition to an expense) unless you specifically specify otherwise.
So why is this so effective and also what does it relate to sales funnels? As a matter of fact, what you'll observe is that Columbia House's sales funnel was quite basic. You just chose the CDs or tapes you wanted for a buck, after that received a regular monthly shipment every single month at a pre-defined rate. They would continually bill you for those CDs or tapes each and every single month. There were variants of this offer also where you can get 11 CDs or tapes for one cent after that get the 12th complimentary.
Either way you look at it, these were all irresistible deals. This was as well excellent to skip. However what Columbia House and various other companies recognized was that, although they would shed money out of the gate, they would certainly, usually, gradually, earn money turn over first. And that is the power of the sales funnel. Before automation, this is how sales funnels worked. As well as, if you called, you would obtain a live individual successfully walking you via the funnel.
The Columbia House instance provides deep understanding into the psychology of a deal that's tempting. By first establishing the life time value of a consumer and their retention rate, Columbia House determined that it might spend a particular amount of loan obtaining consumers and also still be very lucrative. That's essentially what's performed with sales funnels today. And also what really makes those sales funnels so powerful are tripwires.
Today, it's the tripwire that develops the alluring offer. Although Columbia House didn't quite have significant up-sells or down-sells in their funnels, they developed a straightforward two action funnel that functioned. It functioned because the tripwire was so appealing. It appealed deeply to the consumer. Besides, how can you stand up to a deal like that for 12 or 13 CDs or tapes for $1 or 1 cent when they were retailing at around $10 each at the time.
An additional effective instance of this was through Sports Illustrated. In fact, Sports Illustrated was successfully on the decrease at the time it introduced its cutting edge tripwire. There's something about tangible items that individuals simply connect with. Even when you're supplying a digital details item on the back end, by sweetening the handle a tangible excellent, you can quite actually send your conversions with the roof.
In the example of Sports Illustrated, take on your own back to 1990 when magazine membership rates were starting to leave. In that duration, Sports Illustrated suffered a 7% decrease in their circulation in the initial half of the year. Now, regardless of what they did, they were unable to get the subscription rates up. Even by offering deep discount rates on registrations, customers weren't grabbing it. Plus, if they marked down as well considerably, it would impact their ability to obtain advertisers paying premium prices without showing that consumers were paying near to the complete cover rate of the magazine.
Sports Illustrated, owned by Time, Inc., had not been the only magazine that was experiencing under the business's umbrella. Individuals magazine had likewise experienced an extreme decline of 5%. Time, Inc., knew that it required to do something quickly. So it began to use a tripwire that consisted of sports slips on VHS. Nevertheless, the price was outrageous and there were only many bloopers it could offer. So, they relied on the football phone as the new tripwire.
Why the football phone? First, it interested the target audience. As well as, it was unique and also exciting. Far more amazing than a boring publication membership. The football-shaped phone principle was developed by Sports Illustrated's director of circulation at the time, Michael Loeb. Back then, advertising and marketing on cable television was additionally extremely inexpensive. Plus, the phone, which was sourced from China, only cost a couple of dollars "landed". So everything made good sense.
Loeb dealt with the logistics of this offer for lots of months. Nonetheless, that had not been the only offer. They also devised a deal that included a tennis shoe phone. If you'll reflect to 1990-1991, it was both uses that were running almost simultaneously. Speak about an early-on split-test, right?
So, what were the outcomes of all this? Over 1 million brand-new subscribers. That's right. And also those offers just ran for a limited time. But it properly saved the business. That's the power of a tripwire deal. It's a substantial item that obtains people delighted regarding whatever else the core offer is. Actually, some people will only acquire what you're marketing exclusively for the uniqueness of the tangible tripwire offer.
Sales funnels are just one of the solitary most effective principles in service today for a very specific reason. It's not simply the instance of the tripwire that's effective. It's the whole kittycat caboodle, so to speak. There are many components as well as parts to what make a sales funnel job so well that I wished to simplify as well as give some more instances to supply a deeper understanding to exactly how you can use them to raise your revenue online.
Now, if you're not making use of a sales funnel today, or if you're simply uncovering what a sales funnel is, after that there are a couple of ways you can swiftly take advantage of this effective principle in your service to create explosive outcomes. Primarily, if you don't have a ClickFunnels account, go right here as well as sign up for the 14-day cost-free trial. Once you have actually arrangement your account, get hold of a personalized domain as well as start constructing your funnel. If you need aid, view a few of the on-boarding videos included with ClickFunnels.
It does not matter if you have an existing business or you're functioning to configuration a new organisation, funnels are the trick to growing and scaling regardless of where you're beginning with. Nevertheless, there are 5 certain ways you can make use of sales funnels to boost your income right now. No matter what service you're in or what you're offering, you can leverage these today, today, to develop explosive results.
At the Inner Circle mastermind this week, Russell Brunson explored the hook-story-offer strategy that precedes developing the funnel. Can you build a sales funnel prior to you have a hook and also a story? Yes. Yet you might have difficulty gaining grip, especially if you're competing in a red sea. Red seas are entrepreneur-infested waters competing for the exact same swimming pool of clients, whereas blue seas are a location where couple of entrepreneurs are swimming in.
What does that inform you? Spend the moment on the hook as well as the tale. Yes, the deal is likewise vital. But it's the hook and the tale that's going to reel prospects in. As an example, Brunson made use of the story of fit-to-fat-to-fat creator, Drew Manning. Manning, that remained in excellent form, went out there and acquired a number of weight over a 6 month period to much better recognize what it feels like to be fat. Yet after that he headed out there and shed all the weight.
That right there is an extraordinary hook and story. It's distinct. And, due to that, Manning has actually experienced a speedy increase, despite the fact that his offer isn't that excellent. However when the hook as well as the tale is so great, the deal is practically inconsequential. Effectively, you can sell nearly anything when the hook as well as the tale just squash it. An additional instance is the tale of Robert Allen that would constantly state he could be decreased in any city in the country and also buy a home no money down within 60 days. And that's exactly what he did. His brand name has actually corrected a billion bucks in sales as a result of it.
Those are all fantastic hooks as well as stories. Without that, your offer will certainly battle. If you can think of an one-of-a-kind method to create your hook as well as tale, the remainder will fall into place. Given that there is so much red ocean out there, this is probably among the most important points to make before you release any type of sales funnel.
Tripwires are wonderful low-barrier-of-entry products that make leads whip out their bank card. Typically, these are too-good-to-pass-up items that are used at an astonishing cost. Simply think of the tripwire supplied by Columbia House or Sports Illustrated, as an example. Tripwires help make it simpler to get brand-new customers, and then to ascend them up your worth ladder.
Anything that makes consumer purchase more difficult, such as an expensive product and services out of the gate, is mosting likely to make growing and scaling your organisation harder. The truth is that it sets you back 5 times as a lot to attract a brand-new consumer as it does to preserve an existing one. That's why tripwires are so effective. They lower the barrier-of-entry into your business. As well as anything that can reduce the obstacle of access is constantly suitable.
One more terrific way to introduce a sales funnel and also easily enhance your income no matter what company you're in is with a lead magnet. The lead magnet requires to include actual value. However it can be in various formats such as a PDF e-book, list, rip off sheet and so on. After the download, you can offer a single deal. This implies a three-step funnel. You could also create an up-sell if they take the single offer or perhaps a payment-plan down-sell if they decline it.
Why do a lead magnet with loads of worth? Initially, you're setting on your own up as an expert. If that material is absolutely actionable, as well as it adds an enormous quantity of value to the prospect's life, after that they're going to view you as the authority. But it does something even more than that. It refers micro-commitments. The theory? Get a person to concur to do 3 tiny points for you and also the 4th one is instantly an of course.
Among one of the most powerful sales funnels you can build is based around the webinar. Actually, it was the webinar that conserved Brunson's service from personal bankruptcy a number of times. It was a combination as well as culmination of knowledge that result in the perfect webinar script, which develops the basis for the best sales funnel. A few of it came from Jason Fladlien, while various other items originated from in other places in Brunson's journey.
Nevertheless, all that information combined into the format of a perfect webinar as well as funnel, has literally transformed the businesses of plenty of business owners that have actually taken their understanding as well as monetized it through the rapid force of webinars. Constructing a webinar is among the best paths to success with a sales funnel. As a matter of fact, the webinar funnel is rather perhaps the most transformative funnel you could release for any kind of service, new or old.
The application allows you to weed out those that aren't significant. And also, on the telephone call, you can seal the deal. Currently, this type of sales funnel jobs if you have actually currently had outcomes with clients. If not, work for cost-free up until you get results for individuals. Then, accumulate testimonies and make use of those as component of the pitch for the training.
Most likely among the most significant and also most popular sales funnels these days is the free-plus-shipping deal funnel. It makes an excellent entrance factor into any funnel by developing a single deal or up-sell after the offer, similar to a tripwire funnel. However, the distinction below is the power of words cost-free. Yes, tripwires, which are extremely low-cost services or products, function well. But there is actual power in words free.
As a matter of fact, individuals will jump up and down for a complimentary offer, even if they need to cover the shipping and handling, in contrast to taking a deal that they also have to pay a little amount of money for.

Everyone loves a good comeback story, and for the restaurant industry, it's no different. Whether it's about a big, national franchise getting back to its roots, or a small regional chain buckling down and realizing its full potential, the "comeback story" is the definitive best-selling menu item, bar none.
The fall-off/comeback cycle is a common occurrence in the U.S. restaurant industry and shows no signs of subsiding. Here's a look at five major restaurant chains that are making the biggest comebacks right now.

Applebee's has been around since 1980, and in its more than forty years of operation has seen more than its fair share of highs and lows. As broken down by The Company Man, Applebee's was in a slump for much of the 2010s, with little to no footprint growth, an acquisition by IHOP, and a failed re-branding effort in 2016 (remember those Wood-Fired Grills and Hand-Cut Steaks?). But "Eatin' Good in the Neighborhood" has made a solid comeback in the past few years, following the success of beverage deals like the Dollarita and the Dollar L.I.T, consolidation of the chain's U.S. footprint, and expansion into off-premise sales.6254a4d1642c605c54bf1cab17d50f1e
"The brand is exceedingly well-positioned right now to thrive, to flourish—use whatever term you want," president John Cywinski told FSR Magazine. "Our franchisees are more enthusiastic than they've ever been. I've got a great set of 30 franchise partners, so we are poised for sustained growth and better-positioned than at any point in my most recent five-year tenure here."
Like countless other sit-down family restaurants, IHOP was hard-hit by the pandemic. Declining sales forced the chain to close nearly 100 restaurants in the U.S., and S&P Global Market Intelligence ranked IHOP's parent company, Dine Brands Global, among the top five restaurants companies most likely to default on their loans.
IHOP held strong, though, and in the past year has taken serious strides toward adapting its business to an off-premise dining model: about a quarter of the chain's sales in the most recent quarter were through takeout and delivery—on par with its performance at the height of the pandemic. IHOP also has plans to launch a duo of new virtual brands—Thrilled Cheese and Super Mega Dilla.
The Chicago-based sandwich chain has had tough past few years. Sales have been declining for about five years and reached new lows in mid-2021. Just a month ago, NASDAQ cautioned investors from purchasing Potbelly stock, which has lost 57% of its value since 2017.
But recently, business has been picking back up. In its most recent quarter, Potbelly reported sales increases of over 30%. Stock prices were up to, with investors receiving a 21% return over a twelve-month period. And the chain is expecting the growth to continue, as it has plans to expand its franchising operation and grow its footprint to 2,000 restaurants in the next ten years.

One of the greatest comeback stories of the pandemic, Golden Corral just about singlehandedly proved that buffets have a future in the U.S. restaurant industry. But it wasn't easy—the chain saw its store count dwindle from a high of 483 in 2019, to only 250 buffets operating last year (some locations were set up as cafeterias instead). Golden Corral had to bail out its own franchisees with deferred royalty payments, and the CEO is still hoping for a second round of restaurant relief funding.
But all things considered, "America's No. 1 Buffet" is now, in 2022, back on the right course. The footprint is currently back up to about 360 units, and off-premise sales are on the rise, thanks to investment in third-party delivery providers. There are even plans for the launch of a new, fast-casual sister brand Golden Corral Steakhouse.
The California-based burger chain thrived during the pandemic, attracting higher-income customers, growing its sales, and even gaining some new customers in the process. A recent growth spurt has helped Jack in the Box's footprint expand by 201 restaurants. With plans for more than 6,000 restaurants by 2030, the regional chain has every intention of becoming a major national player within less than ten years.

TV's bottomless appetite for true crime series is about to get some Southern cooking. "ATL Homicide" (10 p.m., TV One) offers hourlong looks at real murder cases from the Georgia capital.
Like most of these affairs, it combines acting and re-enacting. Every episode is introduced by retired Atlanta detectives David Quinn and Vince Velazquez, who recall cases from their decades solving murders, jailing the guilty, exonerating the falsely accused and bringing some sense of justice and finality to the families of the victims.
-- If murder is the most popular subject of cable TV docuseries, money must be a close second. The new series "Deadly Rich" (10 p.m., CNBC) offers both. Produced by the team behind CNBC's "American Greed," the 10-episode "Deadly" shows that wealth provides little protection from homicidal passion. Folks living in baronial estates are just as likely to be murdered by their scorned spouses as the guy in the trailer park.
"Deadly" begins with the murder of Ben Novack Jr., heir to Miami's Fontainebleau Hotel. Who would have suspected that his stripper wife might have had motivations other than love for marrying into the wealthy family? As in many cases of this sort, Novack's demise coincided with the release of many dark personal secrets. Other "Deadly" stories will include the tale of the imposter who claimed to be "Clark Rockefeller."
-- The notions of wealth explored in "Deadly Rich" have nothing on the vast fortunes of the oil-producing Gulf States. The "POV" documentary "The Workers Cup" (10 p.m., PBS, TV-PG, check local listings) looks at efforts to build stadiums and facilities for the 2022 World Cup by following the many migrant workers from Africa and Asia brought to Qatar to do manual labor in gruesome desert heat. Some of the migrants have organized their own football (soccer) teams, vying for the "Workers Cup" as they toil on the future home of the World Cup.
-- Combining baking and engineering, creativity and a certain fanboy obsessiveness, "Ridiculous Cakes" (10 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., Food, TV-G) showcases cakes baked into pinball machines that actually work, a "Superman"-themed confection and a 4-foot-tall dessert commissioned to honor the 30th anniversary of Discovery's "Shark Week."
-- Minneapolis hosts the action on "American Ninja Warrior" (8 p.m., NBC, TV-PG).
-- A scramble to make the top 20 on "So You Think You Can Dance" (8 p.m., Fox, TV-PG).
-- Bahamas-bound on "The Bachelorette" (8 p.m., ABC, TV-PG).
-- Grace is encouraged to perjure herself on "Salvation" (9 p.m., CBS, TV-14).
-- A full moon makes for a busy night on "9-1-1" (9 p.m., Fox, r, TV-14).
-- Faced with new insights, Plum tries to find her footing on "Dietland" (9 p.m., AMC, TV-14).
-- The season finale of "People Magazine Investigates: Cults" (9 p.m., ID, TV-14) looks into the Nuwaubian Nation of Moors and its leader, Dwight York.
-- Holmes hires an old nemesis to protect his father on "Elementary" (10 p.m., CBS, TV-PG).
-- Ten men seek favor in the eyes of a woman with an impressive resume on "The Proposal" (10 p.m., ABC, TV-PG).
-- "Unapologetic With Aisha Tyler" (10 p.m., AMC, TV-14) recaps and analyzes "Dietland."
A new landlord is all-business on "Mom" (8 p.m., CBS, r, TV-14) ... Illusionists audition on "Penn & Teller: Fool Us" (8 p.m., CW, TV-PG) ... Adam's kids bring extra guests to the office on "Man With a Plan" (8:30 p.m., CBS, r, TV-14).

How Myles Kennedy Writes Songs as Self Mantras to Cope With Lifelong Anxiety
Lauryn Schaffner Published: May 14, 2021
Photo by Chuck Brueckmann
If you deal with anxiety, Myles Kennedy can relate — when he was young, he was given an award for being a "worry wart," but now he writes songs to use as mantras to himself.
Kennedy's sophomore solo album The Ides of March is out today (May 14), and he spoke with Loudwire Nights host Toni Gonzalez about how the experience differed from when he wrote his debut record Year of the Tiger, which dealt with the loss of his father at a young age.
While parts of the album were written prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, a lot of it is relevant to the everyday anxiety people were feeling all over the world as everything began getting shut down and death tolls rose. "In Stride," in particular, is a reflection of the uncertainty caused by the pandemic, but also the personal anxiety that Kennedy has been dealing with his whole life.
"I was thinking about when everything first started happening, my wife is running to the store... there's still just stacks of toilet paper. When are we gonna use all of this toilet paper?" he said laughing. "It was just the idea that, as if we were preparing for a zombie apocalypse. And once again, there was just all this uncertainty. We'd never experienced anything like this, we didn't know what was gonna happen."
"Since I was a kid, I've always had anxiety. In the sixth grade when all of my friends were getting like, 'Best Athlete' and 'Best Student,' what did my teacher give me? I got the 'Worry Wart' award," he said.
"So songwriting, for me, has been the best outlet because it helps me write these songs and create these mantras that I can replay in my own head," the rocker continued. "So, 'Cool down baby, ya know / You're gonna burn out in time,' that's directed at me."
To hear more about Kennedy's experience writing The Ides of March and how he balances writing songs for multiple acts, watch the full interview below. The singer also recently gave us an in-depth look at the meanings behind all of the songs on the album, which you can check out here.

Soviet era and establishmentEdit
On 5 May 1942, on the basis of the Air Forces of the Western Front, the 1st Air Army was created.[2] By General Staff order of 10 January 1949, the Army became the 26th Air Army (ГШ ВС СССР No. ОРГ 120026). In 1980, the 26th Air Army was redesignated the Air Forces of the Belorussian Military District (ГШ ВС СССР 1980 года No. 314/1/00170). On 1 May 1988, in accordance with the Ministry of Defence of the USSR's Decree No. 0018, the Air Forces of the District were again renamed the 26th Air Army. On 15 June 1992, by decree No. 05 of the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Belarus, the 26th Air Army headquarters became the command of the Air Forces of the Republic of Belarus.
In January 1992, the 927th Koenigsberg Red Banner Order of Alexander Nevsky Fighter Regiment (ru:927-й истребительный авиационный полк) was transferred to the Air Force of Belarus. In 1993, it was renamed as the 927th Koenigsberg Red Banner Order of Alexander Nevsky Fighter Air Base Belarus.
OrganizationEdit
Belarusian jets during a flypast in Minsk, July 2019.
In accordance with an edict of the President of Belarus in 2001, the Air Force (VVS), and Air Defense troops were created as one of the arms of the Armed Forces of Belarus. The VVS and Air Defense forces are intended to protect population centres such as cities and regions, as well as the administrative, industrial, economic interests of the Republic. They are also intended to defend troops from the impacts of enemy air attacks, and also against the attacks of hostile troops, as well as fire support and the guarantee of combat operations of ground forces.
In peacetime, VVS and Air Defense forces are on standby to protect the state boundary in the air and also control of Belarusian airspace.
In August 2010, the 927th Konigsberg Red Banner Order of Alexander Nevsky Fighter Air Base of Belarus (24 August 2010) was renamed the 927th Koenigsberg Red Banner Order of Alexander Nevsky Training Center and the use of unmanned aircraft systems of the Air Force of the Republic of Belarus.
The Air Force and Air Defense of the Armed Forces of Belarus are organized into six major flying regiments: two interceptor, three strike, and a reconnaissance regiment. The air force consists of more than 18,170 personnel, though this number is being reduced. Prior to August 2010, there were 6 primary airbases: Minsk - Machulishchy (50th Mixed Air Base),[3] Lida (206th Assault Air Base), Baranovichi (61st Fighter Air Base),[4][5][6][7] Ross (116th Bomber-Recon Air Base), Pruzhany (181st Combat Helicopter Base), and Bereza (927th Fighter Air Base).[8] There are 4 active airbases: Baranovichi (61st Fighter Air Base),[9][10] Lida (116th Guards Assault Air Base),[11][12][13] Minsk - Machulishchy (50th Composite Air Base) and Osovcy (927th Center for the Preparation and use of Unmanned Aerial Systems), now August 2019.[14][15][16] The Air Force is responsible for all military aviation, as the Army maintains no aircraft of its own.
The Belarusian Air Force maintains close links with the Russian Air Force and defense industry.[17][18][19][20]

On 12 June 2012, a Su-25 aircraft crashed near a small village in Belarus. The pilot, Lieutenant Colonel Nikolai Gridnyov, lost control of the aircraft when maneuvering at low-altitude.[33][34][35] He was ordered to eject, but instead remained on board to make sure the aircraft did not crash into the village.[36]
On 11 November 2014, a MiG-29 aircraft crashed.[37]
On 23 February 2017, a MiG-29 aircraft crashed. Engine fire during takeoff, pilot ejected safely at Bobruisk, Mogilev Region

Certain Swagger and Boogie Biz approach a fence in the 2018 Frank A. Bonsal Memorial Open Timber Race. This year, the entire race will be run on the main race course to increase visibility for owners, trainers, and spectators.
The 18th running of the Green Spring Valley Hounds Point-to-Point has TWO big changes for 2019.
First, unlike its traditional Saturday running, the point-to-point will be run on March 31, 2019 – which is a SUNDAY. This experiment will hopefully be a potential scheduling bonus for spring timber horses.
In addition, as a response to the limited visibility of the course at Shawan Downs, the Frank A. Bonsal Memorial Open Timber race will now be run down on the main race course that is modified from the sanctioned race meet in the Fall.
