SEO secrets of keyword-relevant domain extensions, what are they? Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a generic term used to refer to the dynamics that search engine such as Google, Bing, Duck-duck go, Yahoo, among others, uses to determine the position of your web page in the search results. The search results rely on the keywords that a user keys in on the search tab of any of the engine.
While as lots of dynamics are applied in determining your site ranking on the search engine, keyword-relevant domain extension can play a vital role in improving your page rank.
Use of descriptive words on your domain extension – Recent research sponsored by Domain Names Association revealed that use of a relevant keyword on domain extension enhances your ranking. The study shows that companies using most searched terms as part of their domain names and extensions get a high chance of visibility. There are some companies that offer tools domains name generators and can help you to find a great domain name for your website. However, Google treats all extensions the same way whether they are .com or not com ones. Despite this, keyword-relevant domains require fewer backlinks to be rank better than the .com counterparts. As such, selecting descriptive words as part of your domain extensions offers you're a better position on the search engines than the .com ones.
Require less effort to rank on the first page – Domain Authority is a scale used to determine the rating of the worth and amount of links on a site in a 1-100 score. The DA assessment shows that keyword-relevant extension sites require minimum links than the .com ones. According to it, .com site has to get 33 inbound links while the later needs 4 to be visible on Google's first page. With this in mind, having a web page that encompasses keywords on the right and left the side of the dot, enhances your SEO rankings. Also, you only need to work less to achieve that objective in comparison with your competitors operating .com web pages.
Cost-effectiveness of online marketing – Modern business competition shifted to online presence. Each organization puts its entire efforts to enhance its search engine visibility. Companies spend a lot of cash on paid ads, backlinks as well as online mentions. All these actions aim at winning a better position on the search engines and particularly on Google's first page. With a keyword-relevant extension, your business will save a lot on better ranking efforts. Being creative when developing your domain extension can secure better ranking for your site without even spending a dime. For instance, the 'seo.agency' domain does not require paying to rank better as it attracts high traffics daily. As such, with such a domain extension you would only need a simple budget to enhance your online business presence.
Target industry – When creation your domain extension, ensure you target a particular industry. Industrial target extensions have higher chances of better ranks on the search engine. Notably, using keywords relevant to a particular industry such finance, medicine, insurance, among others as part of your domain extension promotes your site to better positions. Moz and other keyword analysis have proved that industrial targeted extensions are more visible on the search engines than the later.
Enhance signal relevance – Using keyword on your domain extension does not guarantee you a better ranking. However, using keyword-relevant domain extension enable search engines to bond keywords in it and direct appropriate signals to your site. As a result, it boosts your site rankings.
In whole, relevant keyword domain extensions play a crucial role in enhancing your SEO rankings. Use of industrial targeted keywords would boost your SEO ranks.
As well, this approach saves your money for promoting your business on online platforms.

Arsenal Transfer News: Rumours, Updates & Done Deals - Live Blog
Former Arsenal Negotiator Reveals Tactics Used to Sign Mesut Ozil From Under Tottenham's Nose
Ross Kennerley 04 Jul 2019
Former Arsenal negotiator Dick Law has revealed the hidden tactics the Gunners had to use to sign Mesut Ozil from Real Madrid, a deal that simultaneously meant Gareth Bale left rivals Tottenham to move to the Spanish side.
The 2013 summer transfer window will live long in the memory for both sets of supporters in north London, as Arsenal broke their transfer record to sign Ozil while Bale became the most expensive footballer in the world when he left Spurs for €100m.
Dick Law (ex-#afc transfer negotiator) on signing Özil in 2013: "It was an incredible deal to be part of. That was the moment all the work we'd put together through the years in terms of acting as a unit came together, but the story of Özil is actually the story of Bale." [Goal]
— #FOYS (@Ozil_Left_Foot) July 4, 2019
While on the surface the respective deals appeared disconnected, they were in fact intertwined, as Law revealed during an interview with Goal. Madrid needed to ship at least one player out to sign the Welshman, as Arsenal acted quietly under Daniel Levy's nose, aware that Spurs' chairman wouldn't sanction a deal if he knew the club's rivals were signing one of Madrid's stars.
"They paid an extraordinary amount of money for him [Bale] and they gave him an extraordinary contract, what that meant was they needed to sell somebody. So it's the Bale story that leads us to Ozil," he said.
"We sat down with Jose Angel, who said that Ancelotti didn't want to sell either of Benzema or Di Maria, but he would sell Ozil.

"We had finalised a deal with Madrid. Ivan was there and I was now in Munich with Ozil - and this was literally the morning of the Tottenham match when Ivan calls me. He said that he couldn't get back to London for the match because he was finishing up the agreement and that one of us needed to be in the directors' box or else Daniel Levy was going to get very nervous."
Law then revealed the means he took to, quite literally, fly under Levy's radar and arrange the deal with Ozil - who was in Germany at the time having his medical.
"Jose Angel had told Ivan that Levy had called him and said the one last condition of the Bale deal was Madrid couldn't sell any players to Arsenal," he added.
"Ivan's response was that Levy was bluffing because he'd already spent the Bale money. But he still said to me that we couldn't take a chance and asked if I could get from Munich to London to be in the directors' box because Tottenham were starting to think something was going down.
"So, I got a flight at 11am, changed on the way and when I walked into the directors' box I saw Franco Baldini and Levy and they asked what I was doing. I said it was the derby, I wasn't going to miss it."
After watching Arsenal win the match 1-0, Law then claimed he flew straight back to Munich only to catch wind of Manchester United's new-found interest. Knowing he couldn't let Ozil discover this, he confessed to the method he used.
"So Ivan called me and asked me to man-mark Ozil's father and business advisor in Munich. I had to sit from 10am to 10pm in the bar at the Four Seasons taking calls from the contract team with questions about this clause and that clause. They eventually drafted everything and sent it over for Ozil to sign."

Lehmann-Peterson's output of limos for 1969 increased slightly from the year before, to 93.
The 1969 and 1970 Lincoln limousine saw production rise and fall. In 1969, production rose slightly to 93 units. Aside from making Executive Limousines, Lehmann-Peterson also dabbled with the idea of converting Lincoln's new entry in the "personal-luxury" field, the Continental Mark III hardtop coupe, into a four-door sedan.
Such a car was built for Ford Product Planning, equipped with the Mark III's narrow grille and hidden headlights, wheel covers, trunklid with tire hump, rear bumper, and taillights. Like the Ford Thunderbird four-door sedan, it had frameless door glass and rear "suicide" doors.
The idea never went any further than that as far as becoming a factory-built Lincoln. However, that didn't stop Lehmann-Peterson from making one to order for a paying customer.
The 1969 Lincoln limousines were the last Continentals with both unit-body construction and rear-hinged suicide doors in back.
Hermann chose to have one built for himself, and it was finally delivered late in the year. Some of the more obvious differences were a 7.3-inch body stretch, rear-seat cushions intended to allow for armrests, and 1971-style back-up lights per a mid-year change.
Curiously, Ford Motor Company has denied the first four-door Mark was ordered by, let alone built for, Henry Ford II. (A rumor at the time was that it was a gift to a foreign nonrelative female.) Perhaps this was the Product Planning car.
In addition to limousines, Lehmann-Peterson converted a pair of Lincoln Continental Mark III two-door hardtops into four-door sedans.
The last Lehmann-Peterson Lincoln Continental Executive Limousines were produced in 1970. That year, the big Lincoln reverted to separate body-and-frame construction, dropping the unit-body configuration used since 1958.
With this change came new styling, a backward step that tended to make Lincoln look less distinctive. Gone were the graceful rear-opening back doors, for example, which provided the only proper way to enter and exit a limo. Still, Peterson deftly worked out how to lengthen body and frame on this new-style Continental.
Unfortunately, fewer than 20 Executive Limousines were made for 1970. This was hardly the only problem that faced Lehmann-Peterson, either. Near the end of 1969, automakers found themselves running into a barrage of new federal safety standards, the impact of which on the way they did business was uncertain.
This factor more than any other forced Ford's hand in deciding to deny Lehmann-Peterson any more support. The risk of the unknown was just too great when faced with potential liability from a car that wasn't even produced under its own roof.
The final Lehmann-Peterson limousines were made in 1970 from the new body-on-frame Continental.
In fall 1970, Lehmann-Peterson was forced to close its doors. The company's taxes hadn't been paid for the last couple of years, so the government foreclosed. Most employees left to work for competitors. Lehmann tried to make a go of things on his own, but the brass ring never came around again.
In a few short months, he entered the hospital for the last time and spent a solid year there. Having slipped into unconsciousness, George Walter Lehmann died of a brain tumor on April 6, 1972. He was only 33.
The lengthy hospitalization took its toll on Morella Lehmann. During that time, she contracted a near-fatal case of hepatitis. Upon her recovery, she continued to live not too far from where "it" had all begun in Chicago until she died on August 7, 1989.
Robert Peterson later went on to produce Cadillac limos for Maloney Coachbuilders, also in the Chicago area. He died in January 1995.

'Child's Play' Creator Wants a Chucky Movie Set in WWII
Child's Play Creator Wants a Chucky Movie Set in WWII
— February 9, 2018
Could we be seeing Chucky up to his murderous ways during WWII? If Don Mancini, the man who created the Child's Play franchise, gets his way, it may very well happen. Cult of Chucky was released last year as the seventh movie in the long-running horror franchise and, even though it didn't get a theatrical release, the movie was rather successful. That in mind, we're likely getting more Chucky movies and one of those movies could take place during WWII.
During a recent interview, Don Mancini was talking about some ideas he has for future movies in the franchise. Surprisingly, Mancini revealed that he would love to do a World War II-ear entry in the Child's Play franchise. He even has an idea of how this could make sense, relatively speaking. Here's what he had to say about it.
"I would love to do a World War II-era Chucky movie; I think would be awesome. You know how in Raiders of the Lost Ark they say, 'Hitler's obsessed with the occult'? That's the window in. It would be legitimately interesting to see Chucky in that milieu with the iconography and the archetypes of the World War II movie; he could be great."
That's certainly a crazy idea, but then again, is it really? Many horror icons such as Jason and Leprechaun have gone to space, which isn't off the table for Chucky either. Is doing a World War II movie any crazier? For Chucky to remain interesting, the franchise needs to evolve. This is something that Don Mancini is aware of and, even though he's been doing these movies for thirty years, he's very dedicated and wants to try new things moving forward.
"I've been doing it for 30 years now, so I have files of different ideas and notions, and scenes, and set pieces, and characters, and situations. It's a constantly evolving thing. I want to be ready. Cult isn't, I don't think, the last we'll see of Chucky. But again, it's always important to me and David [Kirschner] to find a way to reinvent it and keep it fresh. Obviously, I can't say too much, but we're already thinking ahead, definitely. I do spend my nights thinking about, 'Gosh, what would happen if Tiffany met Andy Barclay?' The two disparate characters from different, far-flung parts of the franchise, what if they collide? I think about these things. I'm a fan as well. I guess it sounds silly or self-serving to say, 'I'm a fan of my own franchise,' but I am. I love it. I'm a fan of other franchises, too, and I think when you're a fan that's one of the things you do is you just muse on the characters and 'what if in this situation...?,' and 'what if they met this character?' One of the reasons we've been able to go for this long is because we legitimately care about it. It's not just a paycheck gig for us. This is our baby."
Far too many horror franchises get stuck doing the same thing over and over again and, say what you will about some of the Child's Play movies, but they have certainly tried to be different and set themselves apart from one another. A WWII Child's Play movie would be yet another way to do that. So maybe that will happen for Child's Play 8, but Cult of Chucky set up some other threads that need to be pulled. You can check out the full interview with Don Mancini over at Portal 13.

TAYABAS QUEZON | Located 150 kilometers away from Manila at the foot of Mt. Banahaw, there is a unique dining place that is creating a buzz and that is AIR SUMMIT GOURMET restaurant. This place is also managed by Kamayan sa Palaisdaan, a renowned restaurant in Tayabas Quezon. Opened in 2016, Air Summit Gourmet has been on national television for it's uniqueness and of course the food.
On our way to attend a wedding, I told my colleagues about the place, fortunately, a friend saw an airplane right next to the road and I told them, that's it! That's where we eating lunch!
The restaurant just opened and we were the first guests to be on board this flight. We were so excited to see what it's like inside and to taste the food since it was also lunch time. But before boarding your flight, you need to check-in.
They have a small airport-like reception, where diners must first get their boarding pass to be handed in by their flight-stewards and stewardess. It almost felt like you are really about to fly somewhere and we really enjoyed the whole process.
After a few minutes, it was finally time for us to board the aircraft. We couldn't wait to have a glimpse of this aircraft. It was truly a unique dining experience!
I was not sure if it's an Airbus or a Boeing. It's so cool that they were able to bring this aircraft piece by piece and assemble it on a location that is slightly elevated and can clearly be seen from the main road.
We had no clue at all what it was like inside, and as the door opened what we saw blew us away. The elegant chairs, the cutlery and fabrics used, the sweet scent of the restaurant, everything inside was first class.
To add more elegance to the whole atmosphere, chandeliers were added to some tables.
From the normal windows you find on the plane, they also cut a portion of it making it bigger and you get a nice view of nature. While inside, it really felt different, you felt as though you were really up in the air. From time to time, you will hear messages from the flight attendants over their speakers. It was really cool!
After taking photos in every corner of the plane, we ordered our food. They have so much to choose from the menu but we could only order food we knew we could finish.
Since we were only four, we decided to order meals to share. I ordered sodas to drink and one of my friends ordered a ripe mango shake. For the size of the shake, I think the price is really worth it. One thing we observed was the servings were really good enough for sharing.
A very famous Filipino dish, the beef kare-kare is a beef stew with peanut sauce, vegetables, and complemented with shrimp paste called Alamang.
To pair with our other dish, we decided to order their deep fried chicken with a potato salad on the side which is one of their best sellers. The salad was really delicious and the chicken was cooked really well. No left overs after that sumptuous meals.
Air Summit Gourmet exceeded our expectations with regards to the whole experience and the food. Though others may find it expensive but for us, it's totally worth it. This just makes a visit to Tayabas more exciting adding more activities to those looking for a different and good dining experience in the Province of Quezon.

Moral Panic
Citation: C N Trueman "Moral Panic"
historylearningsite.co.uk. The History Learning Site, 25 May 2015. 20 Jun 2019.
Moral panic is a term used to describe media presentation of something that has happened that the public will react to in a panicky manner. Moral panic has a tendency to exaggerate statistics and to create a bogey-man, known as a folk-devil in sociological terms. In recent years moral panic and media presentation have covered a wide-ranging number of topics from HIV/AIDS in the 1980's to asylum seekers into the UK in the 2000's. Moral panic goes back as far as World War One when the wartime government used the media to portray the Germans in a certain manner in the hope of provoking a response. The same happened in World War Two. In this case, the media did not have to portray Hitler in a certain manner as the public already had its view on him and that was an identical one to the government. However, moral panic and the media was used to create a fear of Nazi spies in the UK.
Post-World War Two, moral panic and the media was directed against the Communist Bloc. In America, 'Reds Under The Bed' created an atmosphere of hysteria against anyone who was even remotely seen as being linked to communism. Hollywood hunted out perceived communists in the film industry and even an international star like Charlie Chaplin felt compelled to move to Switzerland to escape this. However, both media and government worked for a single agreed purpose – ridding America of all communists and this had the support of the vast bulk of America's population.
In the UK, social conformity was expected to ensure that social norms continued. In the 1950's 'Teddy Boys' were portrayed by the media as young men hell-bent of tuning society upside down. This continued into the 1960's with the media's portrayal of the clashes between Mods and Rockers. The whole idea of the media's coverage was to convince the general public that these youths were operating outside of the social norms desired by society as a whole.
Cohen (1972) found that minor fights between Mods and Rockers in beachside resorts were very much sensationalised by the media. One headline was "Wild ones invade seaside town – 97 arrests". In fact there were only 24 arrests. Cohen found that the media reporting led to increased policing which actually intensified the problem. More recently moral panics and consequent amplification have occurred about raves, football hooligans, girl gangs and terrorist threats.
In the 1980's a moral panic was created in the media over HIV/AIDS. The famous iceberg advertisement by the government clearly hinted that there was a lot more to HIV/AIDS than the public could possibly know about with the vast bulk hidden from view. Some media outlets nicknamed HIV/AIDS the 'gay plague' stigmatising a specific section of the population as being the primary cause and carriers of the 'gay plague'. While scientists gained a better understanding of HIV/AIDS as the 1980's moved into the 1990's and beyond, the illness was still seen by many as one either caused by or passed on by the gay community. When it became clear that this was not the case, the moral panic created by the media moved off in another direction blaming the general lax moral standards of the younger generation (both male and female) which then moved onto the next area of moral panic – the growth of the 'laddettes' – alcohol fuelled young ladies who attempted to copy the behaviour of young males. Statistically, the number of young people who behave in an anti-social manner at the weekend is dwarfed by the actual number of young people in the UK but the moral panic subculture created by the tabloid press would have the general population think differently.
Marxism sees the media in society as acting in the interests of the bourgeoisie by promoting the ideals and values which best serve them. The media is the single and most important part of the Ideological State Apparatus, (ISA), and is used to promote the notion of hegemony, the idea that society shares the same basic values and norms. Marxists argue that differences in politics, which is another part of the ISA, are there simply to promote the false ideas of democracy and freedom of choice, where as in the mainstream media, there is almost no difference in the portrayal of the generality of the morality of society, (Hard Work, marriage, national prise etc) as well as what exactly main stream political issues are. These issues, according to Marxists, are there to divide society and make it easier for the elite to maintain control. Stuart Hall's book 'Policing the Crisis' (1980) looked at the moral panic of mugging and its effects in the media. He found that the media in conjunction with the bourgeoisie create moral panics in order to perpetuate fear and maintain control over the whole of society. The bourgeoisie felt a lack of control due to a rise in "deviant" cultures e.g. free love movement, drug cultures and stronger unions. Moral panic was used to perpetuate fear which enabled greater control over the proletariat. Such fears make the public want more police, which,Marxists argue would allow for even greater control over the population.
From the point of view of Functionalists, the media is free from an overall controller, and as such serves an important role in maintaining freedom and different opinions throughout society. Functionalists make the argument that there are indeed collective norms throughout society. However, the media helps to present the different points of views and issues where opinion differs.

The Four Pillars of Today's Workplace Design
by Ann Hoffman
Francis Cauffman Architects' Ann Hoffman shares the four pillars of transformation management to help better understand and prepare for the return to the office.
As we look towards a return to the office, design strategists and leaders have been absorbing every bit of information, searching for answers regarding what is next for the workplace. While abundant surveys, research studies, and projections have saturated the industry, there is no "crystal ball" for designers. Researchers and end-users have landed on the term "hybrid" for the next office with no prescriptive definition of what that looks like. The design of the future office is dependent on each organization's unique culture, philosophy, and group experience in the remote working period.
Regardless of industry, company size, or subject matter, organizations can turn to a four-pillar framework to construct their new hybrid model. Just as change management helps employees acclimate to a new work environment, transformation management helps employees and leadership transition into the office. Transformation management allows strategists, designers, and company leadership alike to make thoughtful policies, and structure that offers choice without losing sight of the company's focus and mission. Acknowledging these priorities and needs maintains a company mission, productivity, and services while addressing the acceleration of choice for individuals. Balancing support from the four pillars provides an understanding of these priorities in a myriad of questions, promoting employee happiness and maintaining business productivity.
Transformation management allows strategists, designers, and company leadership alike to make thoughtful policies, and structure that offers choice without losing sight of the company's focus and mission
How do we make the shift from a demand on "presence in the office" to a choice environment that still meets the needs of the organization and its critical members? Trust is the foundation of the hybrid working model, replacing the mandates for compliance. Do we trust our employees to do the work when they are not in our sight? Do employees trust that leadership will consider and reward them appropriately even if they are not working in the office? There is a great adjustment period ahead and understanding what is now important can help guide the process. The data and analysis that strategists use to form their interiors is not there. It may take at least a number of months or even a year to see, and these new standards may still be evolving after that. In the meantime, as we readjust and readapt to new practices, the four pillars guide us to satisfy priorities. Our society is forever changed, we are not the same people as we were in March of 2020, and we must recognize that in our behaviors that ultimately translate to design.
To better understand and prepare for the return to the office, it is important to consider the below pillars that form transformation management:

Pillar One: Clients
As we emerge from the pandemic, companies need to reaffirm the trust between themselves and their customers and create ways to express their value. We have transitioned to a blended and virtual environment, and as a result, expectations for interactions have changed. The norm of in-person meetings changed to virtual – how can we continue this without deteriorating a relationship? What can your company offer to enrich the experience either through physical meetings or upgraded technology? Building new experiences into the environment to reconnect your work to the mission will go a long way in solidifying that relationship.
Pillar Two: Company and Culture
Trust is the catalyst for company culture. Working from home was mandated, but now, after we have been re-wired, how do we operate a WFH culture that fosters mutual trust? Working from home has been successful because we traded on the culture that was built in the office before we left. How do we solidify a bond with a dispersed workforce, particularly those who have joined an organization during the pandemic? What touchpoints do we build into our work schedules that allow us to form a working bond? How do we meet the employees' shifted expectations and still solidify our culture?
The role of the physical office has changed to be more of a flagbearer for all that the company believes in and stands for. The office should now more than before be a visualization for the brand. Exemplifying the values in the use of materials, office settings can begin offerings of healthy foods and accommodations made for diversity and inclusion. We experienced all those things without hesitation in our homes and are now expecting them to be part of the office.
This solution is two-fold, as businesses must not only make changes to their working model but also make physical changes to the office to support these new working styles (such as video conferencing spaces and equipment, a variety of seating from lounges and group seating to breakout rooms and traditional desking). The seemingly minor details of an office can no longer be overlooked––what types of coffee/tea are offered? Are there snacks or healthy lunch options? Is fitness a priority? Are there walking paths nearby or a gym membership provided as part of employee benefits? The pandemic shifted employee expectations because it was in their control whether they took a walk midday, joined a virtual yoga session at lunch, became coffee fanatics, or food gurus. These individual changes will impact company culture expectations. As a result, employers must address how an office can shift to ensure employees feel that their mental and physical well-being and overall workplace happiness are being prioritized.

Pillar Three: Teams
This pillar explores the structure, communication, and collaboration for teams, specifically in a post-pandemic society. Companies need to reflect on what has changed about the way teams communicate. It is crucial to consider how the hybrid model works and what adjustments need to be made in the office to support both remote and in-office teamwork in tandem.
Essential to the work is the mutual trust among team members to be accountable to each other. Just like before the pandemic, communication is the key, only now we must revisit communication protocols on so many platforms.
Collaboration settings, promoted for over 20 years but not fully embraced by some, is now pivotal to the physical office. It is the top reason for people to come into the office and it must be worth the time it takes to commute, or people will choose not to come. A physical environment for collaboration will always outperform virtual platforms. Natural conversations, physical cues in body language and response have been missed through the virtual sessions in the pandemic. Nimble environments that keep tasks and people fluid in their adaptation will go a long way to creating an elevated experience in collaboration. Drawing people to the office for collaboration is a major contributor to building team trust and ultimately the culture.
Teams are instrumental in driving the new ways to work. Taking note of their behaviors will give insight into the way employees will choose to work together. It would be insightful to allow them to "hack" their current spaces while in the office to get a glimpse of how configurations and postures can change to suit the new ways people work together.
Pillar Four: Individuals
The individual pillar is about establishing a work-life balance and ensuring employee well-being takes priority in the workplace. As we slowly venture into our offices, there will be new phases of adjustment and anxiety. Surviving and thriving in this year of uncertainty has made us different people and workers. Our expectations have been shifted, and our skills challenged, and in most cases, expanded. Some have lost precious time with leaders and mentors the same way children who left school for home learning are missing the enriched experience of being in a classroom with their teachers.
While we can certainly see a brighter future ahead that allows us to return to our offices without hesitancy, we have to recognize that we will have the occurrence of new behaviors and expectations as we return. As we would assign change management implementation to acclimate to a new workplace, we should be considering transformation management for returning employees to the office.
How do we measure and predict the upcoming months and years of office behaviors? We are in the next workplace revolution and when it comes to physical space it's an evolution. We have to throw away our surveys and data that is pre-pandemic and look to structuring a new model of hybrid work, wherever that lands. First and foremost, we have to create a purpose for people to come to the office. Once there, we must leverage the mission, the brand, the culture, the values and human capital for the highest performance. Building a framework for those spaces and policies goes a long way to establishing the goals. For all this to work, we start with a foundation of trust and inclusion. We have learned that much for sure.

Then it occurred to venerable Rahula, advised by the Blessed One, 'What is the use of going for alms today?' Venerable Rahula, stopped short, and sat with legs crossed at the root of a certain tree, the body straight and mindfulness established in front.
'Rahula, all that's in this body. That are hard and rough and thought are yours, such as hair of the head and body, nails, teeth, skin, flesh, veins, bones, bone marrow, kidneys, heart, liver, pleura, spleen, lungs, intestines, small intestines, stomach and excreta, or anything else that is internal, your own, hard and rough is called 'internal earth element'. This internal earth element and the external earth element, all that goes as the earth element.
'All this, is not mine, that is not I, it is not my self. This has to be seen as it really is, with right wisdom. Seeing it as it really is, the mind should be detached from the earth element, and the interest should be cut.
'Rahula, what is the water element? There is internal water element and external water element. Rahula, what is the internal water element? All that's in this body that is watery and thought is yours such as bile, phlegm, pus, blood, sweat, oil of the skin, tears, fat, saliva, snot, oil of the joints, and urine, or anything else, that is internal, all things of watery nature and thought is yours is called 'internal water element'. This internal water element and the external water element, go as the water element.
'All this is not mine, that is not I, it is not my self. This has to be seen as it really is, with right wisdom. Seeing it as it really is, the mind should be detached from the water element, and the interest should be cut.
'Rahula, what is the fire element? There is internal fire element and external fire element. What is the internal fire element? All that internal fire, the firey nature, that is your own. Such as the burning, the decaying of the tasted, drunk, eaten, enjoyed, is thoroughly digested or any internal fire, or burning nature that is yours is called 'internal fire element'. This internal fire element and external fire element go as the fire element.
'All this is not mine, that is not I, that is not, my self. This has to be seen as it really is, with right wisdom. Seeing this as it really is, the mind should be detached from the fire element, and the interest should be cut.
'Rahula, what is the air element? There is internal air element and external air element. What is the internal air element? All that internal air, that is yours, the airy nature, with up-coming air, down-going air, air in the stomach, air in the bowels, and air running up and down limbs large and small, to this is called 'internal air element'. This internal air element and the external air element, it all goes as the air element.
'That is not mine, that is not I and that is not my self. This has to be seen as it really is, with right wisdom. Seeing this, as it really is, the mind should be detached from the air element, and the interest should be cut.
'Rahula, what is the element of space? There is internal and external space element. What is internal space? All internal space such as the spaces in the, ear holes, nostrils, mouth, where the food tasted, drunk, enjoyed, is accepted and stored and through which it comes out is called internal space. This internal and external, space element goes as the element of space. That is not mine, that is not I, that is not my self. This has to be seen as it really is, with right wisdom. Seeing it as it really is, the mind should be detached from the space element to cut all interests.
'Rahula, develop a mind similar to earth. When you develop a mind similar to earth arisen contacts of like and dislike do not take hold of your mind and stay. Rahula, on the earth is dumped the pure and the impure, excreta, urine, saliva, pus, blood; the earth does not loathe those. In the same manner develop a mind similar to earth. When you develop a mind similar to earth, arisen contacts of like and dislike do not take hold of the mind and stay.
'Rahula, develop a mind similar to water. When you develop a mind similar to water arisen contacts of like and dislike do not take hold of your mind and stay. Rahula with water the pure and the impure are washed; excreta, urine, saliva, pus, and blood, are washed. Water does not loathe those. In the same manner develop a mind similar to water. When you develop a mind similar to water, arisen contacts of like and dislike do not take hold of the mind and stay.
'Rahula, develop a mind similar to fire, when you develop a mind similar to fire arisen contacts of like and dislike do not take hold of your mind and stay. Rahula, fire burns the pure and the impure, burns excreta, urine, saliva, pus, and blood. Fire does not loathe those; in the same manner develop a mind similar to fire. When you develop a mind similar to fire, arisen contacts of like and dislike do not take hold of the mind and stay.
'Rahula, develop a mind similar to space, when you develop a mind similar to space arisen contacts of like and dislike do not take hold of your mind and stay. Rahula, space does not settle anywhere. In the same manner develop a mind similar to space. When you develop a mind similar to space, arisen contacts of like and dislike do not take hold of the mind and stay.
'Rahula, develop loving kindness; when it is developed, anger fades. Rahula, develop compassion; when it is developed, anger fades. Rahula, develop intrinsic joy; when it is developed discontentment fades. Rahula, develop equanimity; when it is developed aversion fades. Rahula, develop the thought of loathesomeness; when it is developed greed fades. Rahula, develop the perception of impermanence; when it is developed the conceit 'I be' fades.
'Rahula, develop mindfulness of in-breaths and out-breaths, when it is developed and made much there are good results and many benefits. Developed and made much in which manner does mindfulness of in-breaths and out-breaths bring good results and many benefits?
The Blessed One said thus and venerable Rahula rejoiced in the words of the Blessed One.
 In- and out-breathing developed and made much, in which way brings good results and benefits (katam bhavitanu kho bhante anapanasati katam bahulikata mahapphala hoti mahanisansa). In this sutta the Blessed One explains to venerable Rahula how in- and out-breathing could be developed until extinction. The gradual training is explained step by step. Venerable Rahula would have attained extinction at the end of the Sutta.
 He trains, 'I breathe in and out appeasing the bodily determination' (passambhayam kayasankharam assasissamiti sikkhati passambhayam kayasankharam passasissamiti sikkhati). Bodily determination is in- and out-breaths. It is appeased and pasified while one is mindful of the breaths.
 He trains, 'I breathe in experiencing the mental determination. I breathe out experiencing the mental determination' (cittasankhara patisanvedi assasissamiti sikkhati cittasankhara patisanvedi passasissamiti sikkhati). Mental determinations are feelings and perceptions. The bhikkhu breathes in and out mindfully and becomes aware of his feelings and perceptions, while doing so.
 He trains, 'I breathe in calming the mental determination, breathe out calming the mental determination' (passambhayam cittasankharamassasissamiti sikkhati passambhayam cittasankharam passasissamiti sikkhati). Calming the mental determination is appeasingthe feelings and perceptions that arise when mindful of the in- and out-breaths.
 He trains, 'I breathe in experiencing the mental state. I breathe out experiencing the mental state' (cittapatisanvedi assasissamiti sikkhati cittapatisanvedi passasissamiti sikkhati). Here the bhikkhu becomes aware of the mental statewhile he is mindful of his in breaths and out breaths. The mental state is whether the mind is with anger or without anger, with greed or without greed, etc.
 He trains, 'I breathe in with a released mind, I breathe out with a released mind' (vimocayam cittam assasissamiti sikkhati vimocayam cittam passasissamiti sikkhati). This means that when the mind is released, the in- and out-breaths too become appeased and light.
 When mindfulness of in-breaths and out-breaths is developed and made much in this manner, even the last breath leaves with your knowledge (evam bhavitaya kho Rahula anapanasatiya evam bahulikataya yepi te carimaka assasapassasa te; pi viditava nirujjhanti no aviditati). When mindfulness of in- and out-breathing is developed in this manner, he becomes mindful of even his last breath, at death.

The Stolen Marriage by Diane Chamberlain is as heartbreaking as it is emotionally captivating. Steeped in history, this novel is beautifully written and so difficult to put down — I devoured it in one sitting because I was desperate to get to the end. There are so many twists in the plot, and each one was just as unpredictable and as thrilling as the last.
Diane has written such three-dimensional, wondrous characters. They're all flawed, but likeable, and I loved reading about them. At times, Tess felt really immature and a little clueless, but given that this book is set in 1944 and Tess is only twenty-three, you can forgive her for being a little slow at times. She certainly makes some decisions that could've been better thought through.
"We were trapped, both of us. In early May, six weeks after I lost Andrew, Ruth insisted I return to church with the family. I'd spent the past month and a half in a fog. Dr. Poole described something for my 'melancholia' and it kept me numb."
Each and every character in the book, whether they appear in five chapters or fifteen, are well thought out and very well crafted. Diane has captured their dialogue and body language really well, showing us things about their personality through their actions and not telling us simply in the prose.
The Stolen Marriage is filled with plenty of secrets and betrayals, but it also illustrates true love and the importance of sacrifice for the one you love. Tess leaves Vincent because of a terrible mistake and she wants to spare him the pain, and whilst it's probably not the wisest decision, it does illustrate her love for him.
"In my room, I struggled to write the letter to Vincent. I cried so hard as I wrote it that I could barely catch my breath. The letter had to be cut-and-dried. A little mean. I wanted to make him angry enough to forget me."
Diane has captured what life was like in the deep American South in the 1940s, highlighting the gender and race issues of the time and prejudice against women working or a black person dating a white person. Diane has also captured the polio epidemic very accurately, illustrating the widespread fear but also the initial ignorance about how one catches it and how it is transmitted.
Ultimately, this novel is about two characters attempting to pull themselves out of a difficult and complex situation. For one, it's torture. For the other, it's salvation. The novel is paced really well and the storyline and setting is really interesting. I read a lot of historical fiction novels and yet I felt like The Stolen Marriage was really unique and something I hadn't come across before.
"I woke to the sound of muffled voices on the other side of the bedroom door. It had to be nearly five o'clock, the room filled with a dusky twilight.
"She doesn't play bridge and I'm hardly going to put everyone in the bridge club through the agony of tutoring her," Ruth said.
I couldn't hear Henry's response, though his voice sounded calm.
"She looks foreign," Ruth said. "Like a Gypsy. Is she Italian or…?"
I recommend this to historical fiction readers, but also readers who love adult fiction. Yes, it's embedded in history, but it's a fantastic storyline filled with all different types of characters and friendships. I enjoyed this book a lot more than I thought I was going to, that's for sure!
Thank you to the publisher for sending me a review copy in exchange for an honest review.

Black Lives Matter Protestors Stand Trial Against Sheriff Accused of Racism and Corruption in Western Virginia
By: 24-7 Press Release
Ten separate protestors will stand trial for violation of noise ordinances and disorderly conduct, several of them facing up to a year in jail for saying "f* the police" during protests
STAUNTON, VA, June 02, 2022 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Black Lives Matter protestors gathered outside of the Augusta County Sheriff's Office for nearly three months last summer in response to two police shootings in two weeks. For several weeks the police ignored the protestors who were permitted to protest without interference by the police, until reading explicit chat logs from the Sheriff's close friend's child sex solicitation arrest, which was immediately followed by the sheriff ordering arrests. Each protestor who dared to speak out about the Sheriff's corruption found themselves in handcuffs.
"I have never seen a case this ridiculous in my decades of practicing law. I've never seen a prosecutor move to disallow a defendant to call any witnesses," said Amina Matheny-Willard, Counsel for the Accused, Owner and Managing Director of Amina Law. However, I have seen all too often the root cause of the cancer infecting the Augusta County Sheriff and Commonwealth Attorney's offices. It's a culture and practice of white supremacy and targeted acts of violence to assert and maintain dominance. It has absolutely no place in American policing."
On Friday June 3, 2022, the protestors will each stand trial in the Augusta County General District Court. Each of the protestors have plead Not Guilty and plan to fight the charges on June 3rd. The protestors will introduce evidence that the Augusta County Sheriff regularly uses racial epithets, that he lied to federal agents, and that he hid his "close friend" from arrest on drug distribution charges. Current and former police officers familiar with the Sheriff's corruption will testify at the trial. The Commonwealth fought to keep the Defense from calling any witnesses, fearing that the Sheriff might be embarrassed. A judge has already ruled that Defense witnesses must appear at trial.
"I was arrested and jailed for saying a curse word - but in fact I was arrested and jailed because I had the nerve to ask questions about the sheriff's association with a convicted human trafficker with arrests for child sex solicitation. Nothing in the Constitution permits the Augusta County Sheriff's Office to place someone in jail for speaking out against the government's own corruption. The Sheriff likes to call me and my friends the n word," said Cameron Turley, Accused Activist. "I wish he would say it to my face. Racist cowards always find something to hide behind, and the sheriff hides behind his badge. If I don't fight now, then our very freedoms are at risk. How many people don't fight? I've decided no matter the cost, I simply have to stand."
The trial details are as follows:
WHAT: Trial - Commonwealth v. Turley et. al.
WHEN: June 3, 2022 at 9 a.m.
WHERE: Augusta County General District Court
Amina Matheny Willard and her clients are available for all media inquiries, including this Friday after the hearing.

except KeyboardInterrupt:
    CDatei.kill()
    root.quit()
    root.destroy()

and when i run it, it says "RuntimeError: main thread is not in the main loop".
Short explanation of the code: It's a code to read out sensor data from a text file -
 GetValue().
If the Data is Null it'll read out again - WithoutNull().
The Data is then splitted into data and timestamp (cause it has the format val1, val2, val3, val4, time) - UebergabeWert.
Then the maxima, minima and average of the data will be measured - MinutenWert()
After this, the values are set as labels and go their way into Tkinter - UebergabeTkinter()
The Tkinter build is mainly in Try:
What I wanted to do there, is to implement a graph to Tkinter, but because of the fast changing values it got tremendously slow so i decided to put the graph build in a thread and run it parallel to Tkinter. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work and I don't know why
Any suggestions?

It looks like a chain of hot pot restaurants is opening a location in the heart of downtown Boston.
Universal Hub confirms what a source told us last month, that the group behind Little Sheep Hot Pot will open a restaurant on Washington Street along the western edge of Chinatown. Based on its other locations, expect to see tabletop hot pot options at the upcoming place, including a variety of broth, meat, seafood, noodle, and vegetable options along with herbs and spices.
Currently, the closest locations of Little Sheep Hot Pot can be found in Manhattan and the Flushing sections of Queens in New York.

Nigeria to connect East, South, North African countries by road, says Fashola

Nigeria's works and housing minister Babatunde Fashola on Monday said the ongoing road construction projects in the country are targetted at connecting East, West, North and South African countries by road.
Speaking at the 70th Session of the Trans Sahara Road Liaison Committee in Abuja, Fashola informed Member Country Ministers in charge of road infrastructure from Tunisia, Algeria, Mali, Chad and Niger of Nigeria's efforts towards the establishment of the Trans Sahara Route.
"Trans African Highway Plan [seeks] to connect Africa from Cape Town to Tunisia either by driving through East Africa Border, the West African Border or through the Centre of Africa," Fashola said.
"There is also a Coast to Coast connectivity from West to East Africa, North-East Africa to North-West Africa and South-West Africa to East Africa."
The Nigerian minister explained that a total of 9 highways at different stages of construction are meant to achieve African connectivity.
"Three of these highways, he said to pass through the territory of Nigeria," Fashola said.
Fashola listed Lagos – Dakar through Seme in the Benin Republic, Lagos – Mombasa through Yaoundè in Cameroon and Lagos – Algiers, which was the subject of the meeting in Abuja as the parts the Nigerian government is playing to contribute to the connectivity between African countries.
He disclosed that the Lagos – Algiers road covers 9,022km (7,171km 80%) in asphalt while 1,851km (20%) in earth road.
Fashola said the road serves 37 regions, 74 urban centres with 60 million inhabitants in 6 member countries of the Trans Sahara Road Liaison Committee.
The minister stated that 1,131km of the 9,022km passes through Lagos to Ibadan, Ilorin – Jebba, Kaduna – Kano – Kongolam where Nigeria has a border with the Niger Republic.
Explaining the importance of the connectivity, Fashola stated that "the development of the Trans Sahara Route is to ensure integration, improvement of economic activities and cooperation between Member Countries.
"This will provide the business community access to explore and maximise the enormous economic opportunities available within member countries. There are immense possibilities from Fashion, Agriculture, Technology, Energy to Film and Music."
He said the Trans Sahara Route and the recent signing of the African Continental Free Trade Area (ACFTA) Treaty is a top priority in President Muhammadu Buhari's plan to integrate and expand Nigeria's economy.
Fashola said Buhari had placed the funding of the reconstruction of the Lagos – Ibadan Section and the Kaduna – Kano Section under the Presidential Infrastructure Development Fund (PIDF) to ensure that there is no funding gap in the execution of the project.

Visiting the 'eighth wonder of the world' just got easier – but will tourists spoil it?
By Gavin Haines, Travel writer 16 March 2017 • 4:53pm
New flights promise to open up the region to tourism Credit: ALAMY
A testament to what man can achieve when it works with nature, the Banaue rice terraces in the Philippines are renowned for their beautiful aesthetics and bountiful yield.
Carved into the mountains of Ifugao some 2,000 years ago, the hand-hewn terraces are the rice bowl of the region, as well as a tourist attraction.
But until now travellers have had to be pretty determined to see them: it can take up to 10 hours to reach Banaue by bus from the Filipino capital, Manila, which has put many people off visiting.
A post shared by GlobeWigglers (@hannahfchurch) on Mar 5, 2017 at 1:43am PST
"The roads are fine and the bus is fast, it's just a really long way," said Filipino journalist, Tata Mapa, who made the journey recently.
However, new flights to nearby Bagabag Airport promise to slash the time it takes to reach Banaue, ushering in a new era of tourism for the region.
The Philippine island that's home to one of the world's great natural wonders
Those flights will start in May, courtesy of Wakay Air Services, and depart four times a week from the city of Clark, which is well connected to Manila. They will take around an hour and the transfer from Bagabag Airport to Banaue will take another hour; so even when you factor in the inevitable waiting around at airports, the journey time will be more than halved.
But is that a good thing? The remoteness of Banaue has hitherto protected the historic site from the pitfalls of mass tourism – erosion, litter, resource scarcity – and a sudden influx of tourists will inevitably have an impact on the area.
"There is definitely a danger that the balance of the environment will be threatened with more tourists coming in," Mapa told Telegraph Travel. "But that's the case with most places around the world."
A post shared by Get Lost (@getlost_with_us) on Feb 10, 2017 at 2:30am PST
Paradoxically, tourists could actually prove the saviour of this ancient landmark, which is suffering from a range of threats, chiefly neglect: as more young people abandoned Banaue for the bright lights of the city or foreign shores, the region's population is decreasing and ageing, leaving fewer people to tend the terraces.
"If there is a surge in tourism then it's possible that more of the locals will stay home and have more sustainable employment," said Mapa.

Tourism may also supplement the incomes of impoverished local farmers, enabling them to invest more money into the maintenance of the rice terraces, which have to be periodically rebuilt due to soil erosion and inclement weather.
Often described as the "eighth wonder of the world" – an unofficial status it shares with numerous other landmarks – two of Banaue's terraces, the Bangaan and Batad, form part of a wider World Heritage Site.

"The terraces illustrate a persistence of cultural traditions and remarkable continuity and endurance, since archaeological evidence reveals that this technique has been in use in the region for 2,000 years virtually unchanged," said Unesco.
"They offer many lessons for application in similar environments elsewhere."

Separate Yourself with Unique Postcard Marketing Techniques. New Postcard Marketing and Blogging on your Website go hand and hand in developing your marketing plans for the future.
Real Estate Postcard Marketing and Lead Generation is vital in todays Realtor Marketing Portfolio. Everyone is marketing today using social media and even sending text messages about their new listings. A lot of Real Estate Agents have added a networking assistant to handle all of these tasks. The competition is fierce. What you have to do is separate the way you market from all the other real estate agents so that you can be viewed as more credible. If you don't figure out how to present yourself as a better choice than your competition then you are setting yourself up for failure.
Real Estate Postcards, set up properly with the correct branding of yourself based upon your abilities, market areas served and the company you work with have a proven track record. We have been sending them out on behalf of thousands of Realtors for the past 25 years and they simply WORK great.
We would like to see you set up a blog on your website and advertise it in the agent set up area of your postcard. Blogs are not utilized enough by Realtors. Create a blog based around the listings you are promoting or about tips on how to fix up your home for a quick sale. Give something your clients can read to draw their interest. Your potential clients may want to hire you but just aren't ready to sell their house yet. But, they will take interest in your blog. They may love the information that they receive on your postcards but you have to keep them interested in hearing from you in additional ways such as your blog. When they feel the time is right, they will head your way for advise and will list their home with you. Real Estate Postcards can be seen at our new website. Click Here!
Figure out which series of Postcards you want to use in your marketing and stick with it. We have to say thaqt our "Keep'em Card" series is by far our best seller. Marketing with Postcards should be your number one solution to reach your goals. A Farm area of 500 homes should give you about 24 listings per year. That number may take three to four years to obtain but we have seen it work hundreds if not thousands of times with our Realtor clients. Ask your own clients what they like best about your postcard marketing efforts and find out how you could improve. Please let us know. If there is a good idea out there we will try to use it. Brainstorm new strategies on blogging to implement into your daily marketing routine and see what pays off. Our old website still exists, take a look by clicking here!
Note that the first several months of your Postcard and Blogging efforts may start slow. You have to get past the first year! do not let a slow start discourage you. Remain dedicated to your Postcard Marketing and your Blogging with a consistant effort and your goals will become reality. The number one reason why some agents do not succeed is because they don not commit. Separate yourself with these Postcard and Blogging Strategies and you will set yourself up for success for life.
