Review: Demand by Lisa Renee Jones
The sexy, breathtaking mystery continues in New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones's stunning second novel in the suspenseful Careless Whispers series—where shocking revelations will reveal themselves and nothing, and no one, will ever be the same.
Still struggling with amnesia, Ella questions everything she's known about Kayden Wilkens—the alluring stranger who claims to have found her unconscious in an alleyway a month earlier. But was he truly a stranger—or did Kayden know her before his supposed rescue? Tormented by the potential betrayal he denies, with fleeting memories of a bombshell in her recent past, Ella must face a hard reality. Every action has consequences . . . and trusting Kayden, the one thing she most desires, might result in the direst consequences of all.
We fell in love with Ella and Kayden in Denial and were waiting impatiently for the next installment, Demand to release. I couldn't remember all the tiny details from Denial, but thankfully, Lisa Renee Jones gives us a recap that helped me get right back into the story, so make sure you take the time to read all that happened in Denial because she sets you up perfectly to fall back into step with Kayden and Ella.
As you recall, Denial ends with quite the cliffhanger...Ella holding a gun on Kayden in the shower when she discovers he already knew about the butterfly necklace. That being said, nothing is ever as it seems and even though Ella assumes the worst, in her heart she knows she cannot deny the fact that she truly does trust Kayden.
As Demand progresses more unanswered questions are revealed alongside Ella's flashbacks. I can definitely feel the frustration for Ella as she struggles to figure out exactly who she is, who she is running from, and why. Yet, despite all the struggles, she is a total badass. I love her spirit and how she doesn't cower and backdown to people. She speaks her mind and will defend those people she holds dear. It's impressive for a character to know so little about themselves yet have such a strong sense of self-direction and confidence. Some people would allow fear of the unknown to send them into a helpless tailspin but Ella is the exact opposite, instead motivating her to further dig for answers and face those fears head on. These character traits pave the way for a truly intriguing, nail-biting story.
Kayden is as secretive and sexy as ever. He has fallen hard for Ella and while her amnesia is an unknown, potentially devastating problem for them he couldn't care less. Others may view her and their love has his only weakness, but it's actually Ella's presence that's given his life a greater purpose and meaning. Finding love has given his life dimension and regardless of everything working against them, they vow to stick together no matter what is discovered. Tell me that alone doesn't make this a killer read!
Thankfully, we learn more about Ella and finally discover exactly who she is hiding from and why but Lisa Renee Jones still hasn't given us all the pieces to the puzzle. While I read this novel in one sitting, if I were to complain about anything it would simply be this installment felt a bit shorter than Denial and it just wasn't enough to satisfy my LRJ craving. I cannot wait for the last installment in this series so all of my questions can finally be answered! LRJ can magically weave a mystery like no other. She ALWAYS keeps me addicted and on the edge of my seat.

Guide: Writing a "Why us" Essay for a Safety School
First of all, I don't like the term "safety" school or "back-up" (because who wants to go to their back-up?) but I used it as the title because that's probably what you Googled. I prefer the term "likely admittance."
Anyway, here's the question today:
If Claremont-McKenna (CMC) is your top choice, it's easy to sound like it. You simply gush about all the reasons why you love it, trim it to 200 words, and you're done, right?
But what if you're writing a "Why us" statement for a school that isn't your top choice? How do you get excited about that school? How do you fake it?
Tip #1: Don't fake it.
What do I mean? If a school is on your list and you're not excited about it, why is it on your list? Take it off. Or, better yet:
Do your research and get excited about the school. Chances are, you may not be excited about a school because you don't know much about it yet. Try this: think of a school you're not excited about applying to but probably will, and write down on a piece of paper everything you know about it. (Not a ton, eh?) See, here's something you may not have been told.
Finding a school that "fits" you is an active process, not a passive one. That's one reason I appreciate and am an advocate for the "Why us" essay--you get to (read: have to) research and find out if the school you're pledging your allegiance to is actually one that you want to pledge your allegiance to. So get researching! (For research resources go here.)
Another great read: DOs and DON'Ts for Your "Why Us?" Statement
If, once you've researched for a while, you're still not super excited about the school you're writing the essay for, ask yourself: do I even want to apply here? Maybe you don't. Maybe you need some new schools to get excited about. (For resources on finding schools go here.)
But what if you're set on applying to a school but you're just not, I don't know, feeling it?
TIP #2: Write your "Why Us" statement for a school you are actually excited about... then switch out the variables.
Okay, for any "Why us" statement to work, you need specifics--and not just about the school--about what you're interested in doing while attending the school. For example :
I'm eager to become involved in UChicago's Urban Health Initiative as I'm committed to both increasing health care access and nurturing strong patient-physician relationships. And in the same way that researchers at Argonne National Laboratory and Fermilab have drastically changed cancer treatment through nanomaterials and particle physics, I hope to play a part in revolutionizing cancer treatment by looking at its causes.
Crazy specific? Yeah.
But watch this:
I am also eager to become involved in University of Rochester's Golisano Children's Hospital as I'm committed to increasing access to children's health care and nurturing strong patient-physician relationships. And in the same way that researchers at Argonne National Laboratory and Fermilab have drastically changed cancer treatment through nanomaterials and particle physics, I hope to play a part in revolutionizing cancer treatment by looking at its causes.
Sneaky? Maybe a little. But also true, right? Aren't those the things you're interested in doing wherever you end up? Well there you go, then.
For a step-by-step process on writing your "Why us," go here.

Indian Patents. 192869:"A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A FILTER BEG BY PLEATING AND FOLDING AN ELONGATEDLY SHAPED TUBULAR BLANK FO FILTER PAPER"
"A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A FILTER BEG BY PLEATING AND FOLDING AN ELONGATEDLY SHAPED TUBULAR BLANK FO FILTER PAPER"
which the tubular blank, guided by the stationary bearing elements, comes to rest between the arms of the gripper with the two ends close together.
The method relates in particular to a twin envelope type of filter bag in which the pockets containing the substance terminate in closures created with folds made in the paper mechanically.
Bags of the type in question are utilized widely in the packaging of substances intended for infusion, in particular tea,'herbal powders etc., for the reason that the division of the measure into two half-measures results in an easier and • swifter contact with water and therefore a better preparation of the beverage. The bag is fashioned from a tubular blank of filter paper, cut initially from a continuous strip that has been folded and secured longitudinally to produce the tubular section: a pleat of familiar "W" profile is formed across the middle part of the blank, serving to separate the two pockets or envelopes, whereupon the two envelopes are rotated about the pleat and brought together side by side to establish the final shape of the bag.
In a first method of the type in question, implemented using a manufacturing machine of broadly conventional design (see DE 1 001 944), the tubular blanks are directed onto a wheel equipped with grippers, which is rotatable and capable thus of movement intermittently through a succession of work stations. The pleat is formed by interaction with the wheel at one of these stations, whereupon the two envelopes are folded double and brought together by relative arms emerging from the wheel.
Having thus received its essential shape, the filter bag undergoes further operations, chief among which being the formation of a closure effected by folding the ends of the tubular blank in suitable manner.
By reason of the fact that the manufacturing operations mentioned above are brought about on a structure moving at high speed, and intermittently moreover, the contents of the bag are subjected to a certain agitation that can cause the substance in the envelopes to shift and collect in localized areas; the dimensions of the bag thus become enlarged at the points which favour the accumulation of the substance, and it becomes impossible to obtain a package of compact proportions when several bags are assembled for wrapping.
By reason also of the fact that the ends of the tubular blank remain open when the envelopes are folded double, it can happen that the contents drift across the areas where the end folds are to be made subsequently, thus compromising the efficiency of the resulting closures.
A second method of manufacturing this type of filter bag from tubular blanks (see IT 1 207 630) comprises the step of heat-sealing the closures of the envelopes before forming the central pleat and then folding the chambers together.
The pleating and folding steps both occur remotely from the gripper wheel in this instance. More exactly, the blank is folded double through the agency of specifically designed transfer means by which the blanks are forced to pass through stationary converging rests, so that the envelopes are drawn gradually together.
place; nonetheless, the heat-sealed closure represents an even greater drawback due to the risk of the beverage being contaminated by the adhesive utilized.
Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks outlined above.
The stated object is realized in a pleating and folding method as characterized by the appended claims, of which the salient feature is substantially that it comprises a step, effected between the steps of forming the pleat and folding the tubular blank around the pleat, in which the ends of the blank are pinched by the action of movable pressure elements operating in conjunction with fixed bearing elements. The purpose of such a pinching step is to prevent the contents of the envelopes from shifting toward the ends of the bag during its movement toward the wheel.
To additional advantage, the steps of forming the pleat and folding the tubular blank around the pleat are effected both simultaneously and through the agency of the same active elements. This allows on the one hand of achieving shorter cycle times, and on the other, of utilizing machines able to perform the method with a limited number of working parts: a factor bringing clear benefits of economy in construction and reliability in operation.
comprising a further step, effected between the steps of forming the pleat and folding the tubular blank, in which the ends of the blank are pinched by the action of respective movable pressure elements operating in conjunction with the stationary bearing elements so as to prevent the contents of the envelopes from escaping during the movement of the bag toward the wheel.
As indicated in the accompanying drawings, the method to which the invention relates is one of pleating and folding a tubular blank 1 of filter paper, elongated in appearance and containing measured and separate quantities of a substance with which to prepare an infusion, to the end of obtaining a filter bag 5 that exhibits two distinct envelopes 6, as shown in fig 4.
-	folding the tubular blank 1 double.
In the initial step, the tubular blanks 1 are caused to advance singly and in succession along a feed direction 2 extending substantially tangential to a rotatable wheel 3 equipped with radial grippers 4 affording respective pairs of arms 15, by which the bags 5 are taken up and compacted (see fig 1) before being conveyed further, all in the context of a process implemented with packaging equipment of conventional embodiment not illustrated in the drawings.
embodied with surfaces converging toward the wheel 3 beneath. The third element 9 is capable of movement transversely in relation to the feed direction 2 and performs a plurality of functions: as discernible from the drawings, in effect, this same bearing element 8 also assists in forming the pleat 12, and accordingly is provided with a forming die 11 of suitable shape designed to interact with a further die 13 of matching profile carried by the end of a forming element 14 positioned above the tubular blank 1.
The step of pinching the ends 10a and 10b of the tubular blank is brought about through the agency of movable pressure elements 16, operating in conjunction with the stationary bearing elements 7 and 9, which engage the blank 1 in such a manner as to prevent the contents of the envelopes 6 from moving toward the corresponding ends 10a and 10b. Observing the drawings, it.will be appreciated that such a movement would be favoured by the forces of inertia generated during the initial movement of the bag 5 toward the wheel 3, which is characterized by a certain acceleration.
At the same time as the pinching action is applied, the tubular blank 1 is also folded double so as to draw the two envelopes 6 together, as indicated in fig 2. In effect, the folding operation begins at the position in which the tubular blank 1 is taken up onto the two stationary elements 7 and 9, and terminates, following a movement guided by these selfsame elements, at a position in which the blank 1 lies between the arms 15 of the gripper 4 with the two ends 10a and 10b drawn together (fig 3).
the third bearing element 8 and the forming element 14, drawn into mutual engagement with the tubular blank 1 between them, to move together as one toward the wheel.
The steps of the method described thus far are followed by the steps of returning the top die 13 to a level above that of the plane occupied by the tubular blanks 1 advancing along the feed direction 2, then causing the third element 8 to disengage from the bag 5 and the gripper 4 and reassume a position of readiness to engage the next tubular blank 1. One possible way of bringing about this particular step, and of implementing the method in general, is described in another application for patent filed in the same name as the present application: it will be seen from the reference in question that the disengagement might be effected simply by rendering the third element 8 capable also of translational movement parallel with the axis 20 of the wheel 3, thereby removing any obstacle to the movement of the bag 5 and the gripper 4, hence to the rotation of the wheel 3.
To the end of reducing overall cycle times when carrying the method into effect, the pinching step would coincide only with the initial stage of the folding step. In effect, the simultaneous activation of these two steps is required only while there is an acceleration in the movement of the bag, given that during the subsequent deceleration it will be the selfsame forces of inertia that tend to keep the contents of the envelopes 6 in place by carrying them toward the bottom of the bag 5.
comprises effecting between the steps of forming the pleat (12) and folding the tubular blank (1), in which the ends (10a, 10b) of the blank are pinched by the action of respective movable pressure elements (16) operating in conjunction with the stationary bearing elements (7, 9) so as to prevent the contents of the envelopes (6) from escaping during the movement of the bag (5) toward the wheel (3).
The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the said step of forming the pleat (12) is brought about by the interaction of a suitably profiled die (11), afforded by the said third bearing element (8), with a die (13) of matching profile carried by the end of a forming element (14) positioned above the said tubular blank (1).
The method as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein the said step of folding the tubular blank (1) double is implemented simultaneously with the step of forming the pleat (12) as the said third bearing element (8) and the said forming element (14) are set in motion with the tubular blank (1) restrained between them.
The method as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein the said pinching step is implemented together with at least the initial stage of the folding step.
The method as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein the said pinching step is implemented simultaneously with the folding step.
A method of manufacturing a filter bag by pleating and folding an elongatedly shaped tubular blank of filter paper substantially as herein described with reference to and as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

This is Holly, an 18-year-old from Arizona. Recently, Holly and her family brought their dog, a two-year-old golden retriever named Sam, to Lake Saguaro to go swimming.
"He'd only gone swimming a few times and it was a larger body of water, so we brought along his doggie life jacket just to be safe," Holly told BuzzFeed. "My dad threw Sam's tennis ball into the water, which he went after...that is, until he spotted my sister, Ariana, and decided to swim over to her instead."
"I don't know if he was trying to save her or save himself, but he put Ariana under for a good five seconds before my dad came to the rescue!" Holly said.
...and now the photos have garnered over 500,000 LIKES on Twitter!!!!!!!!!
But DON'T 👏 YOU 👏 FRET 👏 for this story has a happy ending: "We got him back onto our boat and gave him his ball, and all was good. Ariana is also perfectly fine; just a few scratches."
In conclush: BEWARE THE GOLDEN BOYE!!!!!!!!!!!

San Francisco, CA October 04, 2018 – If there's one major issue that has always held back the outsourcing industry from progressing, it would be the process of training support agents on multiple different product lines and a variety of different policies. Since it is easier to train a 1,000 agents on 1 product line than train 10 agents on a 100 product lines, the industry is crowded by two kinds of outsourcing companies – first, who only work with larger businesses and the other that prefer working with smaller businesses but strive to provide only easy, FAQ based answers during support operations. This is one of the main reasons why small businesses find it relatively difficult to land an outsourcing partner who can provide quality service to their respective customers.
According to Association for Talent Development's State of Industry report, training fresh employees demands extensive amounts of multiple resources, with an average of 33.5 hours spent on every new recruit along with an average cost of $1,252. Most of the times, it is simply not feasible to invest the aforementioned resources on the product line of a company that is only going to pay $400/month. Given the overburdening cost of something as necessary as formal training to acquaint employees to a client's products and policies, it is virtually impossible for an outsourcing provider to offer quality service to small businesses.
HelpLama, a B2B customer support outsourcing startup, has tackled this problem by implanting Artificial Intelligence within their chatbots. After learning extensively through customers' previous customer support threads, the bot can be used to train new recruits through relatively cheaper means, all the while retaining similar efficiency. After running several tests against the bot, the domain experts are marked on various criteria and the list is presented to the client, giving them the luxury of choice in noticeably short span of time. Companies have already reported cost savings of upto $200M by shifting to automated training programs and by utilising A.I, one can cut down on the costs on a similar scale without sacrificing on the efficiency that human efforts brings in. Implementing these technological trends into the traditional training program would not only allow startups to afford considerably decent customer support but it'll also enable them to do so significantly quicker.
HelpLama's simple yet modernised take on the traditional outsourcing training has helped them to decrease their usual training costs by 76% and to cut down on their average training period by 37%, all of this while retaining the same efficiency that comprehensive training programs bring.
Training and hiring experts through modern technology trends is bound to have a certain positive impact on the entire customer support industry as a whole. This simple action would not only affect small businesses but also market behemoths to cut down on the cost and time on a larger scale.


When Annika was born, we assumed that life would continue as it had with our first daughter's arrival. We would experience the joy of her first smile, first words, steps and everything else just as we had before. Though these things did not all occur in the way we had envisioned, the journey we have embarked upon as a result, has brought us gifts even greater than we could have imagined. She has taught us that intelligence and awareness comes in many different packages. Recognition of this requires one to truly be able to walk in another person's shoes, see from another perspective and think outside the box, often changing one's own patterns. She has shown us that living in the moment and being present within each one are the way we're meant to live. Most importantly, she is a beacon of love to everyone around her and models every day that we can all choose to be the same.

Emma Raducanu blames Auckland's 'incredibly slick' indoor courts for injury
Emma Raducanu called out the "incredibly slick" indoor courts in Auckland as she admitted that it was mentally devastating to kick off her season with an injury.
Due to the persistent rain in Auckland, the tournament organizers moved Raducanu's round-of-16 match to indoors.
Late in the second set of her match against Viktoria Kuzmova, Raducanu badly rolled her ankle and left the court in tears after being forced to retire.
"It's difficult to take. I've put a lot of physical work in the last few months and I've been feeling good and optimistic. So to be stopped by a freak injury, rolling an ankle is pretty disappointing, in the first week as well. I thought I was playing some pretty decent tennis. The courts are incredibly slick, like very slippery, so to be honest it's not a surprise that this happened to someone. It's out of my control and after a very long day of waiting around," Raducanu said, per Sportskeeda.
Raducanu to get scans on her ankle
With the Australian Open just around the corner, Raducanu is praying that her ankle injury is not that serious.
Anyway, it is never great to contract an injury of any sort just before a Grand Slam tournament.
"We'll assess over the next few days and make a plan. But Auckland overall, it rained a lot this week, so I didn't get to see much and I thought maybe certain aspects could have been organized better, but overall I had pleasant support when playing outdoors and the crowd made me feel really welcome and at home," Raducanu added.
Meanwhile, Raducanu clinched her first win of the season after recovering from a set and a break down to beat Linda Fruhvirtova 4-6 6-4 6-2.
In the Auckland round-of-16, Raducanu won the first set against Kuzmova with a 6-0 score.
Raducanu then sustained an ankle injury late in the second set and retired after Kuzmova won the set with a 7-5 score.
