Q: Pick file names stored in an Array and attach those files over email VBA I am trying to pick files with names stored in a cell with comma separated and attached those files over email. Below is the code which I am working on and I keep on getting RunTime error 438.
I am struggling to figure out what is going wrong, your expertise would help me to resolve the issue
Private Sub test3()
    Dim mess_body As String, StrFile As String, StrPath As String
    Dim appOutLook As Object
    Dim MailOutLook As Object
    Dim i As Long
    Dim Elem As Variant
    Dim myArr As Variant

    Set appOutLook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set MailOutLook = appOutLook.CreateItem(olMailItem)

    StrPath = Sheets("Input").Range("E3").Value

    With MailOutLook
        .To = "manoj.sahoo@gmail.com"
        .Subject = "test"
        .HTMLBody = "test"

        With Worksheets("DL")
    For i = 2 To .Cells(.Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
        myArr = Split(.Range("B" & i).Value, ",")

        For Each Elem In myArr

           StrFile = Dir(StrPath & "\" & Elem & ".xlsx")
'
            Do While Len(StrFile) > 0

            .attachments.Add StrPath & "\" & StrFile
            StrFile = Dir
        Loop

        Next Elem

    Next i
End With

'
        .Display
    End With

End Sub

A: You have two nested With operators in the code:
  With MailOutLook
        .To = "manoj.sahoo@gmail.com"
        .Subject = "test"
        .HTMLBody = "test"

        With Worksheets("DL")

The Worksheet doesn't have the Attachments property. You need to explicitly use the source object in the nested With operator.
MailOutLook.attachments.Add StrPath & "\" & StrFile

Finally, make sure that you pass a valid file path to the Add method of the Attachments class. The source of the attachment can be a file (represented by the full file system path with a file name) or an Outlook item that constitutes the attachment.

The continuing existence of patent troll is a baffling failure of modern regulation. For those not familiar with this mythical figure, it is the bane of the software industry in the United States. If you are new to the term, I highly recommend listening to this amazing podcast from NPR uncovering the phenomenon.
If you don't have the time to listen, the term patent troll refers to firms that specialise in gaming several unique features of US patent law. Firstly, unlike large parts of the world, the US not only allows for the patentability of computer programmes, the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) granted for many years large numbers of software patents on technology that was both obvious and not novel. Secondly, you can apply for a patent without having to go through the trouble of developing anything yourself because patents protect ideas. Thirdly, the jury culture in the US favour inventors, as there is a pervasive image in the collective psyche that protects the lonely struggling inventor.
This combination produces the perfect environment that creates the perfect breeding ground for patent trolls. The patent troll usually is a shell company that buys software patents and then sits on them until the time is right, and then they extort licence fees from real developers. If the tech company will not pay a fee, then they will sue. The trolls are usually based in districts with a distinct history of pro-patent owner awards, so defendants are more likely to settle out of court to make the nuisance go away.
This is a tax on innovation, as true innovators will be the first on the market, if they did not apply for a patent then it is likely that an unscrupulous "inventor" will have filed some general claims that cover what they are doing.
In a nutshell, what the "inventors" did was to file a patent application for a method of updating gaming software parameters online. This is not only obvious, but there was a lot of relevant prior art for the update of graphics using real-time parameters that pre-date the filing date, a very quick search produced this, this and this, and I wasn't even trying hard, and I am sure that expert in the area would be able to find out the lack of an inventive step in this application.
The claims are similarly general, with claims 1 though 17 pretty much trying to reinvent lukewarm water. By 2002 we already had quite a lot of sports games, and you can update and upload new parameters based on the season. The patent is supposed to be an "invention" by claiming something that was already obvious by then.
But what is a true travesty in the issue of patent trolls is that these are firms that exist solely for getting money from the people making the products. The claimant is one White Knuckle IP, based in Utah, while the patent is assigned to White Knuckle Gaming. There is a White Knuckle Games LLC based in Atlanta with a blank website, but it doesn't seem to be the same firm. In fact, I could not find any online presence for White Knuckle IP, in fact they don't seem to manufacture or produce anything. In fact, the listed address in the complaint is a residential area.
Software patent defendants know quite well that this is a racket. During a telling Twitter conversation with one of them, it became clear that they hold developers with contempt ("cheap hacks" is how he described programmers). The smart people do not create, do not innovate, do not produce, do not sell anything. The smart inventors file for a patent for something obvious, then sit on it and sue those who give us products and enjoyment, trying to gain from their profits. If innovators did that, we would not have any products. They are parasites taking advantage of a broken patent system.
Thankfully this would not be possible in Europe, I am convinced that a patent such as this one would not be granted. We must stay vigilant and make sure that we do not give patent trolls room to operate.
I like the idea, unfortunately there's nothing like that at the moment.

Morris confirms Storey's intention by Tom Murphy | January 12, 2019 at 2:05 a.m.

FAYETTEVILLE -- University of Arkansas Coach Chad Morris made his first public comments about senior quarterback Ty Storey's decision to put his name in the NCAA transfer portal on Friday, indicating it's likely Storey will depart.
"Ty came in and we had a long talk and visit," Morris said during an appearance on Fayetteville's KQSM-FM, 92.1. "He expressed to me that he wants to go somewhere and play, and I understand those things.
"That's great. You're in that role of a quarterback, and that's a unique position. I've been around it my entire life."
Morris has said in recent public appearances that the Razorbacks, who lost out to Missouri on graduate transfer Kelly Bryant, are shopping for a transfer quarterback to supplement the roster.
"We have a plan," he said on the radio show. "We're out on the road recruiting, and there's options that we have.
"We're excited about the guys we have on our roster right now, with KJ [Jefferson] coming in. We've got John Stephen Jones, we've got Connor Noland. We're excited about those guys. Daulton Hyatt is in. So we've got to develop guys that we have on our roster, and we're always in a quarterback market, always looking."
Storey's name appeared in the transfer portal Wednesday, the same day Alabama quarterback Jalen Hurts made his transfer plans official.
The senior from Charleston started nine games last season -- all losses for the 2-10 Razorbacks -- and completed 143 of 250 passes for 1,584 yards with 11 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Storey played a starring role in Arkansas' 55-20 victory over Eastern Illinois in the season opener with 12-of-17 passing for 261 yards and 3 touchdowns.
The Razorbacks already have lost junior Cole Kelley, who transferred to home-state Southeastern Louisiana earlier this winter. Kelley went 1-1 in two starts. Noland made one start against Tulsa when Storey sat out with a concussion and guided a 23-0 shutout of the Golden Hurricane.
Noland and Jones both retained their redshirts by playing in four or fewer games in 2018.

Video 6-0 The significance of institutional change in the UK water sector: Privatization and regulation
Water Supply and Sanitation Policy in Developing Countries Part 2: Developing Effective Interventions
Universidade de Manchester
Water Supply and Sanitation Policy in Developing Countries Part 2 is our second MOOC in a two-part sequence, and looks at 'Developing Effective Interventions'. Here we invite you to develop analytical skills and deep understanding about a complex, controversial policy problem – one with no simple, easy answers. About half a billion people on our planet still lack access to improved water supplies and about two billion do not have improved sanitation services, leading to an unknown but very large number of avoidable deaths each year from water-related diseases. Millions of dollars are spent on avoidable health care expenditures, and people – mostly women – spend many billions of hours carrying water from sources outside the home. Reducing these costs is a major global challenge for us all in the 21st century. Join us to explore the challenging and complex political, economic, social, and technical dimensions of the policy interventions that donors, national governments and water utilities use to address this challenge. This second MOOC consists of the following seven sessions: •	Session 1: Introduction and how our 'ancient instincts' affect water policy interventions. •	Session 2: Planning better policy interventions: Roles, features and examples of planning protocols. •	Session 3: Water pricing, tariff design and subsidies. •	Session 4: Providing information to households and communities to improve water and sanitation conditions. •	Session 5: Changing the institutions that deliver water and sanitation services: Privatization in developing countries. •	Session 6: Changing institutions: Lessons from the UK water privatization story. •	Session 7: Changing institutions: Improving regulation of the water and sanitation sector. Your instructors for this course have worked in and studied this sector for many years. Professor Dale Whittington has worked on water and sanitation policy and planning issues for over 40 years in more than two dozen low and middle-income countries. Dr Duncan Thomas has worked in the UK and European water sectors for 15 years, focusing on overcoming barriers to technological, organizational, regulatory and policy innovations.

In this sixth session, we're going to look at one specific
example of changing the institutions that deliver water sanitation services.
We'll explore, in several steps, the details of radical institutional change,
the UK water privatization that happened in 1989.
Across the next six videos we'll examine the local context, promises,
pre-requisites, price, and outcomes of the privatization of the UK water industry.
In the first video of the six we'll set out a historical,
almost biographical, narrative of some prominent political figures who
strongly drove the UK water privatization case, and the promises they made about it.
But we'll find this account to be incomplete, and we'll explain why,
drawing also on some material about the UK's longer
term water development path that is in our part one.
In our second video we'll offer a more nuanced narrative.
We'll describe specific status quo conditions
that facilitated UK water privatization.
These include the pre-existing organization of the UK water sector.
The condition of water and sanitation networks.
The presence of a wider,
parallel program of privatizations in other utility sectors.
And the ability to transfer learning from those activities.
Thirdly, we'll look at the issue of setting an appropriate sale price for
the UK water privatization.
This is not a simple issue.
It results in a single price that is effectively a kind of one-off
policy intervention, that cannot easily be revisited over time, in the same way as,
say, tariffs can be revised, a topic we discussed in session three.
Nevertheless, similar issues around economic, social, and
environmental objectives to the sale price will arise in our analysis.
Our fourth, fifth, and sixth videos will separate out what we consider to
be the positive, negative, and unclear outcomes, respectively.
Here we'll also draw on some published work evaluating the UK privatization
Across these six videos it's important to understand that
our account is an overview.
The UK's industrial privatization program was a major undertaking.
And the water privatization was just one,
albeit highly significant part of that process.
In this session we only aim to provide an overview of some key outcomes.
If you're interested in the many intricate historical details,
there's a remarkable two volume set by David Parker,
emeritus professor at the Cranfield School of Management.
Professor Parker is the UK government's official historian of privatization.
His nearly 1,300 page Official History of Privatization, published in 2009,
provides a detailed record of the overall UK privatization period from 1970 to 1997.
Before watching the next six videos though, it's worth taking a moment to
understand the significance of the institutional changes in the UK
water sector, that we'll address in this session on privatization and
in our final session on regulating the water sector.
As the degree of private sector participation increases in the water
sector, we'll see that the state does not simply exit the picture.
On the contrary, there's a growing need for increasingly capable and
comprehensive regulatory actions as more functions are transferred and for
longer durations to a private sector firm.
The UK case was a full divestiture of water and
sanitation assets from the state to private sector firms.
As a result, it has various complex regulatory institutions.
We'll mention some of these in this session,
then look at them in more detail in our next session.
We're not, however, suggesting the UK case is somehow the best,
simply because it is the most extreme in these respects.
We're also not implying that all private sector participation will, or
should, eventually follow the same path as the UK water case.
Instead, the UK water privatization simply provides us with an opportunity to learn
from an extreme-change-of-institutions case.
And it's one of the few that exists in the the water world today.

The Fairway
Firs Farm was situated just north of The Fairway, on the east side of Firs Lane with lands extending north and east (hence Firs Farm School). The farmhouse was demolished in 1927.
Fairbrook Road
The Firs
The Firs wends its way from Hedge Lane to Winchmore Hill and the junction with Shrubbery Gardens.
Alan Dumayne, writing in the mid 1980s remembered it in the past as 'a quiet country lane bordered by grass verges, ditches and overhanging trees'
It is named after The Firs, the great estate of the Lake Family, governors of the Hudson Bay Company. The Firs was demolished in the 1820s to make way for Bunces farm.
Ferndale Avenue
Fox Lane
One of Palmers Green's most ancient roads. According to Gary Boudier, Fox Lane is thought to take its name from a family who lived on a site roughly at the western end of the road in the 14th Century.
Paul Scott lived at no 130
Green Lanes
At 7.5 miles, Green Lanes is one of the longest roads in London. Its also one of London's oldest routes, originally a cattle driving route leading from Hertfordshire to Smithfield. Today it begins at Newington Green in Islington and ends at Masons Corner Winchmore Hill.
As you follow the map away from London, the name Green Lanes comes and goes. In N22, it becomes Wood Green High Road, returning to Green Lanes again as the postcode changes to N13 just after Lascotts Road.
There is an empty plot where nos 1-3 Green Lane presumably once stood, making Sirwan Stores at no 5 the first shop on the western side.
The National Westminster Bank at No 288 is described by Pevsner et al in The Buildings of England (London 4: North) as ' a triumphant essay inrusticated brick, with purple and red brick designs'. It was built by Arthur Sykes in 1913.
Pevsner also writes appreciatively of the parade on Green Lanes leading up to Devonshire Road. Also by Sykes, it was built in seven stages between 1909 and 1913. "Free Tudor with plain Voyseyish details, an unsual choice. Roughcast wall enlivened by bay windows, and an effecive skyline of gables, steep roofs and chimneystacks."
Until 1938, Westlakes was the site of "Ye Old Thatched Cottage", a local landmark. Alan Dumayne says that the mere mention of the Cottage would bring a faraway look of sweet remembrance into old Palmers Greeners eyes. It had been built in the late Eighteenth Century by the Governor of the Bank of England Thomas Lewis as a lodge to The Lodge which once stood on the east side of Green Lanes. The Cotage lost its rustic gardens to the widening of Green Lanes in 1906 and had began to look a little sorry by 19011 when it was purchased by Percy Whellock, who had it as a garden shop and nursery (there were two acres of ground behind). It was demolished to make way for a branch of Burton's gentleman's tailors in 1938. .
Grenoble Gardens
Grovelands Road.
The first meeting place of the future congregation of St Monicas, who were forced to find new premises after complaints from the neighbours who cited the protective covenant on the road. According to Alan Dumayne, the congregation moved to Hazelwood House on Green Lanes, now demolished, before finding their final home and building the church on Green lanes.
Hamilton Crescent
Harlow Road
Built on the lands of Firs Farm following its demolition in 1927
Hawthorn Ave
Hazelwood Lane
Hedge Lane was once a continuation of Edmonton's Silver Street. Henrietta Cresswell describes the rural journey along the full length of Hedge Lane by horse bus circa 1858, passing the hay ricks of Huxley Farm, going over the New River Bridge and on into Palmers Green
The rib, thighbone and tooth of a woolly mammoth was found with other parts of a skeleton in Hedge Lane in 1909.
Huxley Place

Did the CQ WW, then 2 days with no electricity, then a one day trip out and back to Seattle. If it wasn't one of my favorite contests I might have skipped.
Got off to my best start ever. I don't think I have ever had more than 3-4 hours over 100 in 40+ years of SS. It was incredible how short the skip was on 20m.
Stayed in the chair for first 9 hours straight. By then it was starting to get slow and the real SS CW showed up. Nothing to do but keep calling CQ and tuning the second radio.
Had NP3A call me on 40 early Sunday morning. Figured K9VV would make an appearance from KP2 on 15 on Sunday afternoon – just had to find him. I kept tuning the band listening for a wild pileup. Worked more than 2 of every section except only one VI and no NNY.
This was my 41st consecutive year with more than 1000 QSOs in SS CW. I love many things about the contest, but low activity levels are concerning.


Metaglossary.com - Definitions for "story"
A narrative, commonly untrue. The truth of the stories here following has, however, not been successfully impeached. One evening Mr. Rudolph Block, of New York, found himself seated at dinner alongside Mr. Percival Pollard, the distinguished critic. "Mr. Pollard," said he, "my book, _The Biography of a Dead Cow_, is published anonymously, but you can hardly be ignorant of its authorship. Yet in reviewing it you speak of it as the work of the Idiot of the Century. Do you think that fair criticism?" "I am very sorry, sir," replied the critic, amiably, "but it did not occur to me that you really might not wish the public to know who wrote it." Mr. W.C. Morrow, who used to live in San Jose, California, was addicted to writing ghost stories which made the reader feel as if a stream of lizards, fresh from the ice, were streaking it up his back and hiding in his hair. San Jose was at that time believed to be haunted by the visible spirit of a noted bandit named Vasquez, who had been hanged there. The town was not very well lighted, and it is putting it mildly to say that San Jose was reluctant to be out o' nights. One particularly dark night two gentlemen were abroad in the loneliest spot within the city limits, talking loudly to keep up their courage, when they came upon Mr. J.J. Owen, a well-known journalist. "Why, Owen," said one, "what brings you here on such a night as this? You told me that this is one of Vasquez' favorite haunts! And you are a believer. Aren't you afraid to be out?" "My dear fellow," the journalist replied with a drear autumnal cadence in his speech, like the moan of a leaf-laden wind, "I am afraid to be in. I have one of Will Morrow's stories in my pocket and I don't dare to go where there is light enough to read it." Rear-Admiral Schley and Representative Charles F. Joy were standing near the Peace Monument, in Washington, discussing the question, Is success a failure? Mr. Joy suddenly broke off in the middle of an eloquent sentence, exclaiming: "Hello! I've heard that band before. Santlemann's, I think." "I don't hear any band," said Schley. "Come to think, I don't either," said Joy; "but I see General Miles coming down the avenue, and that pageant always affects me in the same way as a brass band. One has to scrutinize one's impressions pretty closely, or one will mistake their origin." While the Admiral was digesting this hasty meal of philosophy General Miles passed in review, a spectacle of impressive dignity. When the tail of the seeming procession had passed and the two observers had recovered from the transient blindness caused by its effulgence -- "He seems to be enjoying himself," said the Admiral. "There is nothing," assented Joy, thoughtfully, "that he enjoys one-half so well." The illustrious statesman, Champ Clark, once lived about a mile from the village of Jebigue, in Missouri. One day he rode into town on a favorite mule, and, hitching the beast on the sunny side of a street, in front of a saloon, he went inside in his character of teetotaler, to apprise the barkeeper that wine is a mocker. It was a dreadfully hot day. Pretty soon a neighbor came in and seeing Clark, said: "Champ, it is not right to leave that mule out there in the sun. He'll roast, sure! -- he was smoking as I passed him." "O, he's all right," said Clark, lightly; "he's an inveterate smoker." The neighbor took a lemonade, but shook his head and repeated that it was not right. He was a conspirator. There had been a fire the night before: a stable just around the corner had burned and a number of horses had put on their immortality, among them a young colt, which was roasted to a rich nut-brown. Some of the boys had turned Mr. Clark's mule loose and substituted the mortal part of the colt. Presently another man entered the saloon. "For mercy's sake!" he said, taking it with sugar, "do remove that mule, barkeeper: it smells." "Yes," interposed Clark, "that animal has the best nose in Missouri. But if he doesn't mind, you shouldn't." In the course of human events Mr. Clark went out, and there, apparently, lay the incinerated and shrunken remains of his charger. The boys idd not have any fun out of Mr. Clarke, who looked at the body and, with the non-committal expression to which he owes so much of his political preferment, went away. But walking home late that night he saw his mule standing silent and solemn by the wayside in the misty moonlight. Mentioning the name of Helen Blazes with uncommon emphasis, Mr. Clark took the back track as hard as ever he could hook it, and passed the night in town. General H.H. Wotherspoon, president of the Army War College, has a pet rib-nosed baboon, an animal of uncommon intelligence but imperfectly beautiful. Returning to his apartment one evening, the General was surprised and pained to find Adam (for so the creature is named, the general being a Darwinian) sitting up for him and wearing his master's best uniform coat, epaulettes and all. "You confounded remote ancestor!" thundered the great strategist, "what do you mean by being out of bed after naps? -- and with my coat on!" Adam rose and with a reproachful look got down on all fours in the manner of his kind and, scuffling across the room to a table, returned with a visiting-card: General Barry had called and, judging by an empty champagne bottle and several cigar-stumps, had been hospitably entertained while waiting. The general apologized to his faithful progenitor and retired. The next day he met General Barry, who said: "Spoon, old man, when leaving you last evening I forgot to ask you about those excellent cigars. Where did you get them?" General Wotherspoon did not deign to reply, but walked away. "Pardon me, please," said Barry, moving after him; "I was joking of course. Why, I knew it was not you before I had been in the room fifteen minutes."

The origin of this use of the word "story" is not entirely clear, but in medieval times a tier of sculptures or stained glass windows on the front of a cathedral was called a stor(e)y because it usually told a story, and the number of stories was a measure of the size of the building.

How NASA's Parker Solar Probe Will Touch the Sun
animationastrophysicsgasheatlaunchmagnetic fieldNASAparker solar probeparticlesplasmasciencesolar flaressolar physicssolar windsspacespacecraftstarsuntechnology
In the early hours of August 12, 2018, NASA's Parker Solar Probe launched from Florida's Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, beginning a historic seven-year journey to 'touch the sun.' From The New York Times:
The Parker Solar Probe is designed to expand our understanding of the sun, measuring electrical and magnetic fields, cataloging the ingredients of the solar wind and photographing the corona — the outer atmosphere that is millions of degrees hotter than the sun's surface. Instruments on the spacecraft will be able to detect details that cannot be seen from farther away, and hopefully fill in many of the blanks in human understanding of our star.
To do this the probe will venture as close as 3.8 million miles from the sun—"about one-tenth the distance between the sun and Mercury"—and, at one point during the mission, it will be traveling "roughly 430,000 miles per hour, setting the record for the fastest-moving object made by humanity."

The Diamond League Vs. Discus
Last week the Diamond League issued a ruling to cut the discus, triple jump and 200 meters from their competition platform. This was supposedly an effort to decrease the length of time it takes to finish the competition, to ensure the track and field meets are more "appropriate" for TV time slots and to make scheduling a bit easier.
From a total outsider perspective, cutting the 200m makes sense to me because there is already a 100m sprint and a 400m sprint. The 200m is slightly redundant as an event and from a business perspective, it makes SOME sense to cut. The triple jump actually baffles me a bit. The triple is usually entertaining for spectators, the competitors do a good job entertaining the crowd while putting forth excellent performances. It is also a great event to watch while slower events may be happening on the track.
The discus is another event that is somewhat baffling. The international symbol for most field events is the discobolus, an iconic statue from ancient Greece where a figure is carrying a discus. Perhaps it has been cut because it is a "long" throw and can take a bit longer to complete as an event. However, people love seeing a discus fly 65-70 meters in the air, they love seeing large individuals move at blazing speeds while bringing tremendous energy and intensity. On top of that, discus for men AND women is very competitive which furthers the entertainment quality. Cutting this from the Diamond League is odd, but let's dive further into some more potential reasons.
We need to remember a few key principles here. The Diamond League is a business. As far as I can tell, the Diamond League is a poorly run business that is controlled directly by the IAAF. They care about one thing and one thing only, a financial profit (or more likely, a way to line the pockets of the investors). My assumption is that in years past, the Diamond League has struggled with revenue, leading to the displeasure of the investors/bankers behind the project. It is VERY likely that the "cutting" of these events was forced upon the organizers by the very individuals who bankroll the entire League. By cutting the discus, it may make it easier to coordinate the remaining field events while not having to worry about any potential safety issues surrounding a longer throw.
As a former thrower and coach of numerous discus throwers, it is difficult for me to remove my emotional frustration from the situation. However, as a business owner it MIGHT make sense to remove the event. I don't know all of the work that goes hosting discus during a shortened competition platform but I assume it can have its own logistic issues. By removing the discus, more energy can potentially be placed elsewhere toward events that can be done in a more intimate setting (pole vault, long jump, shot put). Do I agree with the cutting? No. Do I understand it? To a point, yes.
What does it mean for the sport, long term?
Throwers are doom and gloom individuals. When something like this happens, a lot of us have this knee-jerk reaction:
"The discus world is collapsing."
"There is a conspiracy in track to get the throws out of the sport entirely!"
"It's all the distance runners fault!"
"Our sport is DOOMED!"
A lot of us crazy throwers had these thoughts ripping through our minds. However, I have a slightly different approach to the scenario. I definitely believe

Cows and horses are herbivores, which makes their waste ideal for use as fertilizer. Dogs, on the other hand, are carnivores, making their byproducts unsuitable for soil enrichment.
Another common practice for disposing of collected waste is to designate an area of the yard as a sort of compost heap, with the hope that the waste will decompose over time. For anyone with such an arrangement, you may notice that your heap has yet to disappear, but rather continues growing.
It is possible to compost dog waste, but in order to do so, the heap must exceed 165 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately five days to safely sterilize the manure. Unfortunately, most backyard compost systems rarely reach this temperature, and even if they did, it would still be inadvisable to use the waste as fertilizer. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, dog waste – composted or otherwise – should never be used on crops grown for human consumption.
As simple and natural of a solution as it may seem, this practice is actually bad for the environment and also presents a host of potential health hazards for you, your family and your pet.
Dog waste carries disease-causing bacteria that can be transmitted directly to humans and make them sick. Ringworm, roundworm, salmonella and giardia are examples of such bacteria, all of which are found in dog feces and are easily transferable upon contact.
Roundworm, for example, is one of the most common parasites found in dog doo and it can remain infectious in contaminated soil and water for years. How prevalent is roundworm? A recent CDC study found that 14 percent of Americans tested positive for them.
Pet waste should always be picked up and removed from your property on a regular basis. DoodyCalls recommends picking up waste with a bag, then double-wrapping it with another bag and placing in the garbage to be collected and taken to the landfill. However, you should check to make sure this method of disposal is in accordance with local laws and regulations.
If you do follow the bag and garbage method, be sure to double bag the waste and tie knots at the top of both bags to ensure the waste is properly sealed. This is mainly to protect garbage collectors from coming into contact with the waste upon pickup.
For those who prefer to wash their hands clean of the entire cleanup business, your local DoodyCalls pet waste removal services will gladly handle all of the messy work for you, including removal of accumulated waste heaps. Please add Free Service Quote to your cart today and a helpful member of our team will be in contact shortly.


The farm, ranch and orchard community is a unique group of people with unique legal issues including property and water rights, land leases, easements, purchase and sales, and secured transactions for crops, machinery, livestock, and other farm goods. All of these issues are dealt with in contracts of one type or another. These contracts are just not theoretical paper. They are living agreements that mitigate risk, define the parameters of your negotiations, and give structure to the transaction.
I was educated as an engineer and attorney, but was raised on a farm and cattle ranch. I know the issues that farmers and ranchers have to deal with, and have to deal with many myself as a current small farm owner in this region. Let me bring my experience, my hard-learned lessons that arose out of both my successes and, more importantly, my own failures, to help you with your business. From contract and lease drafting and review, to simple estate planning, I can help you manage your risk and protect your hard-earned assets.

The Origin of the Bitser model in 1993!
When a professional, market research agency conducted a study on 550 car owners, not one of them could remember a single Rover advertisement. Rover's brand awareness was low, as was the awareness of Rover advertising. An undeserved situation – as Rover did have something to offer, in addition to its characteristic grill: a Rover set one apart, made a subtle statement of style.
It was 1994 and the car market had known better times. Following severe total market shrinkage of 20%, a light recovery followed in 1993. But by 1994 the market had still not recovered its earlier volume. Manufacturers were saddled with large volumes of accumulated, unsold stock – which they needed to move before introducing new models. Their marketing, as a result, took on an aggressive character.
The average consumer's memory has place for a maximum of six brands. Smaller brands, with a market share of less than 1%, are therefore not remembered. With a market share of 0.9% Rover appeared as number 23 on a list of 30 car manufacturers in 1993.
Rover had to compete with nearly all of the established brands, in all segments, and in particular with BMW, Mercedes, Volvo, Alfa Romero, Saab, Lancia and Honda. At the same time, Rover's prices were high – only exceeded by Mercedes, BMW and Volvo. Car brands differentiate themselves mainly by means of price and brand experience. BMW, for instance, was seen by Dutch consumers as high quality, Ford as empathetic and Renault as innovative. Rover, however, hardly had a presence in the market. Market research showed that Rover scored low in top of mind awareness (0.3%) and also scored low (12%) on aided spontaneous awareness – i.e. on the basis of further prompting when the brand was not spontaneously remembered. If the consumer did remember Rover, the image was often negative. This despite the fact that Rover was competitive with other brands, both functionally and qualitatively, and in addition had the advantage of the heritage if its unique grill. Yet Rover's brand loyalty was also ailing. At 50% it was at least 20% lower than the market average.
A substantial increase in advertising awareness and visibility was necessary. Rover required much more brand awareness and needed to be positioned as a characterful brand with a positive image. Rover's commercial objectives included a sales increase from 3,608 cars in 1993 to 5,500 in 1994, to be matched by a market share increase from 0.9% to 1.3%. Significant market share increase was required in the Rover 600 segment, a car introduced six months before the start of what was to be Rover's new marketing approach. The new 600 followed the less recent introduction of the Rover 400. Other, older models had to retain their current positions in their respective market segments.
The primary target market was every car owner in the Netherlands. Within this primary target group the focus was on males, 30-55 years old, in the A, B1 and B2 income groups, as well as Rover owners and people planning to buy a car, whether privately or as a company car. The secondary target group consisted of fleet owners and lease companies. The tertiary group was the (automotive) press. The strategy was characterised by the idea that there was a close relationship between awareness, image, dealer traffic and sales: no sales without a dealer visit, no dealer traffic without a good image, no good image without awareness. Without realising it, I had laid the foundation for the BiTser model in this approach!
And so to the discovery of 'uncopyability'. As far as positioning was concerned the small, Rover brand would have to 'mine' its proposition from its own, unique qualities. It would avoid comparing itself to other brands, nor would it identify with their propositions of quality, value for money, sportiness and so on. Instead of succumbing to the me-too effect, "Rover, taking its price point into account, would claim a positioning niche occupied by no other brand – style leadership". Style leadership fitted Rover's looks – and in particular the grill – a desirable, emotive, status symbol. The proposition derived from this strategy was, "Rover, a little different, a little more". And this was translated into a credible, unpretentious promise, summarised as, "The Rover difference: the touch of class is standard". The style leadership proposition was supported by exploiting yet another unique dimension, the brand's heritage: Britishness. A quality claimed by no other brand in the markets in which Rover operated, let alone what 'British' stood for: civilised, stylish, subtle, humorous, self-confident and modern. These were also the qualities that determined the tone of voice of Rover's approach to the market and of its underlying communication campaign. Without my realising it, the foundation for uncopyable positioning had been laid here.
Media selection was closely related to the above strategy as regards the creation of awareness, image, dealer traffic and sales. Posters – in free-standing street frames and in bus shelters – are a high-impact medium which can deliver a high frequency of contacts, a single-minded message and can cut through surrounding 'noise'. The medium was used to rapidly build awareness. Television advertising was used to improve image across the broad target market. This medium is also highly emotive and can convey authority. Specific target groups were reached via car magazines and special interest magazines. Dealer traffic was stimulated using national newspapers, while regional and local daily and weekly papers carried small advertisements, with maps showing the way to the nearest dealer. In the car magazines Rover dealer lists were carried next to Rover tests and reviews. Sales support took place via direct mail and promotions in and outside the point of sale carried threshold-reducing offers which stimulated dealer visits, test drives and purchase. Direct mail was particularly effective, in that it could deliver personalised, hard sales offers, while these remained out of sight of the mass-market. (After all, a brand of 'standing' refrains from making such offers in public!) These promotions gained rapid and relatively low-priced national awareness via radio commercials – which, as stated, did not expose deep discounts and the like, but merely stimulated interest in the personalised communication. Loyalty was given a new impulse with events exclusive to customers. While dealers and employees were reached by setting up a long-term, internal motivation programme.
Spontaneous advertising awareness increased from zero percent to 66% after the first week of the campaign. Six months later Rover could look back on substantial improvement of brand awareness: top of mind awareness increased in this half-year period from 0.3% to 1.0%. In other words awareness tripled, across the entire target group. Spontaneous awareness increased from 12% to 14%. And over the entire year top of mind awareness increased to 2% and spontaneous awareness to 16%. This support improved Rovers image enormously, while before the start of the campaign the brand had virtually no public 'face'.
According to research the consumer now saw Rover as a stylish, quality automobile for intelligent, well-educated people with a high income. It was 'stylish, representative, characterful, a pleasure to travel in, distinguished and reliable'. Just three months after the start of the new campaign, 45% of respondents thought Rover to be prestigious, 48% stylish, 58% accessible (the most accessible of all automotive brands), 25% attractive, 23% higher quality and reliable. At first Rover was compared to brands like Subaru, Hyundai, Daihatsu, Skoda and even Lada. After the campaign had ran for three months people saw Rover as belonging to the category of BMW, Audi, Volvo, Alpha Romeo and Lancia.
Dealer satisfaction rose from 36% to 87%. The number of dealer visits and test drives rose by 300%, despite the number of outlets dropping from 87 to 60 dealers. Rover managed to increase its market share above 1% for the first time in four years, improving it from 0.92% to 1.6%. Rover's annual sales targets were exceeded by 6% after just nine months. The older models also managed to maintain their market positions. Relatively speaking, Rover had become the fastest growing car brand in the Dutch market.
From an international perspective the results were also outstanding. In 1993 Rover Europe booked 14% growth against 12% for the total European car market. Rover Netherlands achieved 61% growth against 11% for the total Dutch car market. These achievements were rewarded with 27 national and international nominations and prizes.
Yet the most important achievement of all was this: the foundations of the Bitser model and the uncopyable proposition had been laid.

EvoQuip (a Terex Brand) will be making a return to the World of Concrete 2019 exhibition (22-25 January) and say they are 'going bigger' than their show debut in 2018. Specializing in compact mobile crushing and screening equipment, EvoQuip have confirmed that they will be exhibiting the Cobra 230 impact crusher at the event.
The rapid set-up time and intuitive control system on the machine allows the operator to be crushing just minutes after unloading the machine from the lorry. The operator can also adjust the crusher setting easily, without the need for any tools, using the user-friendly hydraulic assist system that comes as standard on the Cobra 23.
A number of other key design features in the impact crusher ensure optimal material flow through the crushing process. As material moves from the feeder through the impactor and on to the product belt, each section becomes wider to ensure unrestricted flow.
Furthermore, the generous under-crusher clearance, the short distance from the crusher discharge to the magnet and the ability to lower the product conveyor while running, means the Cobra 23 is suitable for many applications.
The mobile plant is powered by a highly fuel-efficient and high-performing direct drive system. This, along with two independent hydraulic controlled aprons, allows the operator to optimize the material throughput and reduction while ensuring the best fuel efficiency.
Serviceability has been a major factor throughout the design and development of the Cobra 230. With ground-level access to the engine, hydraulics, service and refuelling points, maintenance has been made simple easy for the operator and has been further enhanced with features such as a hinged radiator pack and hinged diesel tank.
According to EvoQuip, the Cobra 230 machine's compact footprint makes it easy to transport and is ideal for crushing operation in urban areas.

The £10 bingo bonus can be spent in any room, the 20 slot spins on a game of Mint Bingo's choice and the 5 bingo tickets are for the Big Bang game.
What's not apparent on the welcome offer page is that you are also given access to the Daily Doozey for three days from the point of registration with the brand.
This room is a free play 75 ball pattern bingo room and available from 7 am until 10 pm daily. Prizes vary from game to game with the minimum being £1 and the top prize being £5.
There are wagering requirements on the bonuses awarded to new players, and for the £10 bingo bonus, this is 4x. The T&Cs state that if applicable the winnings from this part of the bonus will be capped at £100 + the original bonus amount.
The free spins are only for use on a game of the site's choice and winnings will be capped at £2. All winnings have to be wagered 40x.
The 5 free bingo tickets are allocated to the Big Bang game but are only available for use in the first 30 days following your first deposit. After this time they will expire. Any winnings from these tickets are credited as a bingo bonus and therefore have the 4x wagering requirements attached to them.
The number of payment options is limited when compared to those available at other online bingo sites. That said, the two most favoured options, for UK players at least, are available here.
You can deposit to your account using a debit card, PayPal, or Apple Pay. You can also deposit via the telephone if you wish.
The minimum deposit amount is £5 (£10 to claim the welcome offer) and the minimum withdrawal amount is the same.
At the time of preparing the review for Mint Bingo, it looks as though they hadn't got around to launching any of their additional promotions yet.
There was just one listed alongside the welcome offer on the dedicated promotion page when you registered and logged into your account, and this was due to expire on 10th September 2020.
It's the only promotion we have to use as an example though, so here it is:
Exclusive Launch Promo – in addition to the welcome package set out earlier in the review, new players were also awarded 10 daily free bingo tickets per day for seven days. These were for use in the £50 Daily Treat Room. Additionally, 5 free spins were available daily and cashback.
For the latest promotional offers, we suggest a visit to the promotions section of the Mint Bingo website.
What the site doesn't promote very well, things that we consider promotions at least, are the selection of free games and jackpot games available. All of these can be found when you enter the main lobby.
To claim the new player offer from this site you have to use the promo code MINT.
There are no other Mint Bingo bonus codes that we are aware of but we do know that the marketing strategy for brands from Tau Gaming includes sending bonus codes by email or SMS. For this reason, we suggest ensuring that you have registered to receive at least one form of communication from them to receive any bonus codes they have to offer.
When it comes to game choices for bingo you have quite the selection. There is 75 ball in two variants; the pattern bingo version and then the multi-line. Of course, there is 90 ball bingo too but the options don't stop there. 52 bingo is offered too.
All of the bingo comes with standard games (the type where ticket sales determine the jackpot), progressive jackpots, and then guaranteed jackpot games with various prize pots to choose from.
Ticket prices range from 0p, the free games, to as much as £10 per ticket for the Big £10k. The latter might have a hefty price tag per ticket but the prize pool is pretty impressive!
The bingo offerings are well set out in the main lobby with Specials, Free, Daily Jackpots, Invite Only, and All to choose from in the navigational menu.
As for slots, there are over 500 different titles to choose from under the tab labelled slots. The chances are you will find the majority of popular games at Mint Bingo as they have slots from all the major developers.
This site, like many others on the same network, offers a pretty comprehensive FAQ section. We were certainly able to find all the answers to our questions for our review there.
However, it might be that your query is not answered in that section and you need to contact support for a resolution. If that is the case then you can do so by using any of the following methods:
Live Chat – only available between 1 pm and 7 pm currently
Webform for email
Tau Gaming is the owner of this particular Dragonfish bingo site and whilst there are hundreds of sites powered by this software, there is just a handful that can be considered sister sites based on the company that owns this brand.
Other sites from Tau Gaming include, but are not limited to, the following list of which we have bingo reviews for:
Bounce Bingo
Tickety Bingo
Other popular Dragonfish powered sites that are not operated by Tau Gaming include:
Mint Bingo was still in its infancy at the time this review was compiled so as yet, we have not seen the brand take to the small screen to advertise itself to viewers.
Should the brand choose to market their bingo offering on this platform, this page will be updated accordingly and a link to the commercial posted in this section of our review.
To be honest, we were expecting much more than Mint Bingo had to offer. We were looking for more promotions and a little more substance than just your bog-standard Dragonfish networked bingo site. They didn't deliver at the time of the review so it's just at 3.5 at this point for this site.
With that said, as the site ages we could see more in the way of promotions and special offers and they could see their star rating increase. Watch this space!


Göteborg : Chalmers tekniska högskola, 2019. 56 s.
Composite sandwich panels with foam cores are gaining importance in the automotive industries due to their lightweight design. The panels are subjected to localized loads with the help of inserts. These load carrying inserts cause an adverse effect such as stress development, thermal losses etc., in the panels. In this thesis, a special engineering design is considered to help improve the stresses developed in the core and reduces the thermal losses in the sandwich panel. The panel is assumed to be perfectly bonded to transfer the loads. Thin face sheets with different materials such as aluminum, carbon fibre (CF) and glass fibre (GF) along with different thick foam core material such as extruded polystyrene (XPS), Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are investigated. An analytical model to calculate the thermal conductivity across the sandwich panel with insert is developed using Fourier heat transfer law. An FE model of the sandwich panel with insert is also developed to analyze the strength and heat flux for different geometry within the panel. Finally, an optimization toolbox is developed based on the constraints and objective.

Revised Data Indicates Australian Building Activity is Improving
July 17, 2013 Share Print 0
Australia has been building more new homes, offices and shopping centres than previously thought, according to revised data from the government, a promising sign that a key area of the economy is on the path to recovery.
The new figures would be welcomed by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) which has been counting on a revival in home building to help offset the drag from a cooling mining boom.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics on Wednesday reported it had revised figures on home building work, dwelling starts and non-residential building going back for some years. The revisions were overwhelmingly higher.

PAW Patrol – Season 4 (2017) – What's New on Netflix Canada Today!
Six heroic puppies led by a tech-savvy 10-year-old pull of high-stakes resume missions using humor, problem-solving skills and cool vehicles.
Capn' Turbot's weather blimp is taken by Mayor Humdinger, who plans to use it to change the weather in Foggy Bottom. Mr. Porter's stove explodes right before the chili cook-off! Everest and Jake try to rescue a little penguin and end up floating out to sea. Katie's kittens are all covered in mud and running amuck! If they're not rounded up, the Cat Show will be ruined. Buddy, the playful dragon from one of Alex's books, gets out and the pups need to get him back. Francois's trailer unhooked, and all of his critters have gotten loose! Sweetie tries to steal the crown jewels to become the Queen of Barking burg. It's up to PAW Patrol to stop her.


Regardless of origin and attribution, the statement is representative of humanity's long history of ingenuity. That's about as poetic as we'll get.
For several years, we've watched how exhibitor reservations are taken at any number of shows across the US, even around the world. It's hard, sometimes thankless work, but we're thankful for the thousands of hard working volunteers that have worked countless hours for decades to make it easy for exhibitors. However, we began to think about why event organizers are asking exhibitors to do things the way they have for 50 years or more…fill out a form, write out a check, send it in. There are any number of services that are flexible enough to handle exhibitor reservations: Eventbrite, Hold My Ticket, Ticketor, SimpleTix, even Ticketmaster are just a few. However, all of those services generally require someone with web design experience and many event volunteers don't have the skill set or the event organizer doesn't have the budget to use those services.
That's the gap Hold My Show Space wants to fill for your show! With an inspired solution born of exhibitor and event organization experience, we can manage exhibitor reservations for the countless shows that may want help. Our economical Show Services include reservation process design and development and payment collection using multiple avenues at an economical price. And, unlike many other services, event organizers get paid much more timely, weekly, no more than three weeks after payment is received, instead of a week or more after an event ends.
We hope to make Hold My Show Space a necessity for your event. We know we can do it and invite you to Contact Us!

An Italian backpacker who plans to kayak the length of the Murray River has thanked the Border's "angels" for their advice and generosity on his travels. Simone Curati had been in Australia for two years when he decided to journey from Tintaldra to the mouth of the Murray in South Australia after hearing about the river's history from a Western Australian mining colleague. Mr Curati said he'd arrived in Albury earlier this week after four or five days of paddling. "It was a little bit tough on the lake, the Hume lake, but it was part of the adventure, so when you arrive at the end and you're a little bit tired, but it's nice because after you will enjoy," he said. "But I love that part here in Albury because the current is good, and so I don't have to paddle. IN OTHER NEWS: Mr Curati said he was looking for an experience to speak to people and connect, after a long time with the same small group of mining colleagues in WA. "It was beautiful, I met beautiful people, people were helping me," he said. "For now, I meet angels, I meet angels. "I started with not great organisation and I met people on my way, people that helped me to improve the kayak, they gave me some gear and explained to me how what I have to do on the river and in emergencies. "So there is a lot of advice, but for sure I will use it in my journey." Though Mr Curati said he'd only kayaked once of twice before this trip, he wasn't daunted by the up to 80 day long, 2000 kilometre plus route down the river carrying at least 40 kilograms of luggage, food, and camping equipment with him. "I will take my time and just enjoy the situation and enjoy the people and try to leave with the best experience," he said. "It's a nice place, it's amazing, ... when I'm travelling here I see some natural things, I feel lucky, because in Europe we don't have similar things and here is very nice an opportunity to stay in nature in the Australian country side." Mr Curati left from Albury on Friday afternoon with his next stop and stock up planned for in Corowa. Murray River Canoe Hire's David Breedon had been hosting Mr Curati for a few nights while he was in Albury. "A lot of people have helped me on my travels and I always like to help someone else when they need a little advice," he said. "Just some tips on packing, loading, some waterproof clothing, suitable for the Australian sun." Mr Breedon said he'd been able to introduce Mr Curati to Albury residents who'd never met an Italian before. "For them, that's interesting," he said. "I love seeing young travelers that are having a go, getting out there amongst it, not just going to the city and hanging out in the backpacker hostel and going to Bondi Beach and then moving onto Byron Bay and then moving onto Cairns. "He's going to meet some real Australian people and the friendliness of the Murray is remarkable, it's legendary. "I wish him well."

Unlike soda crackers, with their crisp layers and air pockets, these crackers are solid and smooth. Butter, egg and cream enriches the dough, providing a sturdy, neutral base for any number of toppings and spreads.
In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking powder and sugar. Cut in the butter.
In a separate bowl, use a fork to stir the egg and cream together until smooth.
Add the egg to the flour mixture and stir until the mixture forms a loose ball.
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a circle between 1/16" and 1/8" in thickness.
Cut the dough into rounds with a 3" biscuit cutter. Repeat with the remaining dough scraps. Transfer the rounds to the prepared baking sheets, and prick each round several times with a fork.
Bake crackers in a preheated 425°F oven for 6 minutes. Remove pan from oven, turn crackers over, and bake an additional 5 minutes, or until crackers are lightly browned.
Remove crackers from oven and brush with melted butter. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container for up to a week. Freeze for up to a month.
Making these crackers is like making pie dough. They are absolutely delicious, tender, crisp and buttery. I will definitely make them again and again.

Comcast Will Let You Change The Channel With Your Eyes
(Photo by Maciej Luczniewski/NurPhoto via Getty Images)NurPhoto NurPhoto via Getty Images
Comcast is expanding options for customers with physical disabilities, launching a new feature Monday that will allow its Xfinity X1 customers to change channels using only their eyes.
The feature will be especially useful for customers with spinal cord injuries and ALS, who use eye tracking equipment to help navigate their lives in other ways. They'll also be able to set recordings and search for a show using the feature.
"Changing the channel on a TV is something most of us take for granted but until now, it was a near-impossible task for millions of viewers," said Tom Wlodkowski, Comcast's vice president of accessibility in a statement. "When you make a product more inclusive you create a better experience for everyone and we're hoping our new X1 feature makes a real difference in the lives of our customers."
It's a fairly unique move for the company. Competitors, such as Time Warner Cable, offer voice commands and large button remotes, but few (if any) offer eye searching.
48 million people in the U.S. currently live with physical or mobility disabilities. Comcast's eye-control technology will be compatible with existing eye gaze hardware and software, as well as "Sip-and-Puff switches and other assistive technologies."

Popular mobile app for transportation, Ola, claims that it has registered a 500% growth in last one year; Delhi, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Kolkata have emerged as the top five cities for Ola Share. The company flags off World Environment Day by launching a year-long campaign titled '#FarakPadtaHai' to create awareness about shared mobility. The campaign was introduced on a social media platform over the weekend by renowned cricketer-turned-commentator, Virender Sehwag.
As per the methodology designed by World Resource Institute (WRI), a global research organisation working towards catalysing a global transition to a low-carbon economy, Ola Share has effectively reduced 12 million kilograms of carbon dioxide and saved over 7 million litres of fuel with the distance travel by cabs reduced by 84 million kilometers, since its inception.
As a part of the #FarakPadtaHai campaign, Ola has partnered with Traffic Police Departments across key cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Pune, and Noida.
Ola has joined hands with e-commerce giant Flipkart, Shopclues, Gaana, IndusInd Bank and WWF who will be supporting the cause of #FarakPadtaHai campaign by endorsing shared cab rides to their users.
