The Republika Srpska football team () is the official team of Republika Srpska, an entity within Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is not affiliated with FIFA or UEFA.

The football team was formed in 1992, following the creation of Republka Srpska as a political entity. The Football Association of Republika Srpska (FSRS) was established on 5 September 1992 in spite of war in Bosnia and Herzegovina which had escalated earlier that year. The main task of FSRS in that period was to organize and manage competitions in the territory of Republika Srpska. The competitions were played in different league formats throughout wartime.

History

During the last years before the break-up of Yugoslavia, football was experiencing much popularity throughout the country, specially because of the series of successes. Such were Yugoslavia winning the 1987 FIFA World Youth Championship, being runners-up at the 1990 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, an emotional campaign by the senior team in the 1990 FIFA World Cup in which Yugoslavia officially finished 5th after eliminating Spain in 1/8 finals, but losing dramatically in quarters against Argentina on penalties, a Red Star Belgrade winning of the 1990–91 European Cup and the 1991 Intercontinental Cup, and even the local Republika Srpska major club, FK Borac Banja Luka, won the 1992 Mitropa Cup. Football was always the most popular sport in all of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and those results had especially warm reception among Serbs in Bosnia because Yugoslav national team was known for having in Bosnia its strongest percentages of supporters, Red Star Belgrade was highly popular among Bosnian Serbs, and the conquest of Mitropa Cup in 1992 by Borac was the first ever international trophy won by a Bosnian team.

However, by the time Borac won the Mitropa title, its echo hardly was heard outside Serbian-inhabited parts of Bosnia. The war had started and Yugoslavia was disintegrating. Like the country itself, so the Yugoslav First League fell apart in stages. In summer 1991 clubs from Slovenia and Croatia left and formed their own leagues, and during the 1991–92 season, so did Macedonian and Bosnian clubs as well. Only Borac Banja Luka refused to leave the league and stayed competing in Yugoslav league system long after Bosnia declared independence, supposedly serving as a symbolic proof that Bosnian Serbs continued to belong to Yugoslavia, now formed by Serbia and Montenegro.

When war started, football was used as an important morale-boosting activity, providing soldiers with distraction from the front, and encouraging interaction with peacekeepers. When Bosnia and Herzegovina became internationally recognised, Bosnian Serbs declared their own state demanding independence from Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Republika Srpska. Football soon followed this decision, and the Football Association of Republika Srpska was formed along a senior national team. They played its first match at the Banja Luka City Stadium on 20 December 1992, when the rival to the Srpska team was a team representing the Republic of Serbian Krajina. This match ended 1–1. Srpska scored the first goal in the 16th minute thanks to Zoran Nešković and the equaliser was scored in the 45th minute by Tihomir Žorić. Žorić, then playing for Dinara from Knin, was chosen the best player of that friendly match. There were about 2,000 spectators at the FK Borac stadium.  Republika Srpska was coached in that match by Miloš Đurković, assistant coach was Mladen Katić, and the selected players were Nikola Čobanović, Dragan Marković, Neđo Zdjelar, Sretko Vojkić, Zoran Vranješ, Stojan Janjetović, Veljko Salamić, Vlado Jagodić, Borče Sredojević, Ljubiša Kukavica, Borislav Tonković, Danijel Pajić, Jovica Lukić, Milan Miladinović, Stojan Malbašić, Enver Ališić, Mićo Gračanin, Zoran Nešković, Aleksa Marić, Predrag Šobot, Boris Gluhović, Filip Trivan, Drago Lukić and Miro Šarac.

The game had a much greater political meaning than a football one. Afterwards, war intensified, and no more national team matches for Republika Srpska were played, the FSRS was more focused in organising a proper club championship and cup competitions. The first to be formed was the Republika Srpska Cup in 1993, while, despite all efforts, a united First League of the Republika Srpska only got formed in 1995.

Although the Dayton Agreement (which ended war conflict in the country) allowed the general forming of independent sport organizations in Republika Srpska which would be recognized internationally, FIFA and UEFA allowed FSRS to participate in the international scene only as part of FSBiH. However, a possibility for international friendly matches for national teams of Republika Srpska was left open, but with explicit permission of FIFA. The national team of Republika Srpska had its "international debut" in 2000 against the Greek club Kavala FC which won 6–0. After that, two other "international matches" were played. In 2001, in Germany, there were two matches against Bayern II (lost by 0–1) and Schweinfurt 05 (won by 4–2).  On the other hand, the U21 squad of Republika Srpska takes part in "international" friendly tournaments every year.

In 1995, the First League of Republika Srpska was established as a top division for clubs competition. Also a cup tournament was created, the Republika Srpska Cup. Meanwhile, separate leagues were formed in other parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina which gathered multinational, as well as ethnic Croat clubs in the country. The Football Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina, FSBiH, was created in 1992 and was recognised by FIFA in 1996 and UEFA in 1998. As the FSBiH was the only football federation in Bosnia and Herzegovina recognized by FIFA its clubs alone were allowed to compete internationally and contest the newly formed Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Faced with the fact that clubs from Republika Srpska hadn't been allowed to take part in international competitions, FSRS decided to join FSBiH, on 23 May 2002. After that, the First League of Republika Srpska became one of the two second leagues of the country, with the other, First League of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina joining clubs from the rest of the country, was the other one. Top ranked clubs from the RS First League were promoted to the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which started on 4 August the same year, and has been as such ever since.

The Republika Srpska official football team saw in July 2013 a disputed run over the election of the main coach between 3 candidates; Ilija Petković, Nebojša Gudelj and Željko Buvač. The elected was Buvač who has been keeping the post still by mid-2019. He succeeded Borče Sredojević who ended not leading any game. The first coach was Miloš Đurković, who's assistant was Mladen Katić, and next it was Velimir Sombolac, with Velimir Stojnić as his assistant.

Current status
With similar disputed regions having been granted opportunities to have international matches the FSRS began to receive pressure from the citizens of Republika Srpska to push for more matches for their national team.

Following FIFA's decision on 22 May 2012 to approve the Football Federation of Kosovo to play friendly matches, the FSRS President Mile Kovačević announced the next day that the Association would ask FIFA for the same.

Recent results and forthcoming fixtures

Results in the past

Republika Srpska played its first senior game in 1992 as the national team of the self-proclaimed Republika Srpska. It was the only game the team played under such circumstances. Its next game was in 1998, 3 years after the signing of the Dayton agreement, and by then the FA of Republika Srpska had already become part of the structure of the Football Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Ever since, it has played unofficial matches against local and foreign clubs. Until 2019 the team has played a total of 15 games.

In recent years, Republika Srpska has planned to play a friendly match against Serbia. Although the Srpska team received the approval of the Football Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina, this match has not been played yet.

Youth competitions

Since 2000, the U19 team regularly takes part in the international Stevan Nešticki Tournament in Novi Sad, Serbia. Republika Srpska won the tournament on two occasions (in 2004 and 2012).

Madrid – In the May/June issue of Frame, we look at surfaces and materials that are not what they seem. Resource scarcity, moral issues and costs are driving production of sustainable alternatives such as fake leather and stone and hardwood laminates. But unlike most counterfeits seeking to mimic an original material, a new generation of designers is playing with consumer expectations through materials that have the visual features of one thing, and the physical characteristics of another. From Kengo Kuma's parody of hardwood veneers for Alpi to Onno Adriaanse's foam shelving, there's a new standard for mimicry in design.
One of these deviously deceptive projects is Jorge Penadés's Structural Skin. For Penadés, the rush of the design process is in seeking to create objects that defy current systems of making. His search for new materials and productive manipulations led to the creation of a material that combines leather offcuts and bone glue – the result resembles chipboard, but its tactility reveals the smoke-like textures and colours that make the natural material so aesthetically provocative.
In Madrid's Machado-Muñoz gallery, Penadés recently presented Poli-Piel, a collection of furniture and lamps combining Structural Skin with planes of glass, marble, aluminium and mirrors. Assembled using thick leather straps and buckles, Poli-Piel, created exclusively for the gallery, suggests fresh expressions of pre-existing forms through the exploration of new impermanent compositions.
A similar method was used at Dutch Design Week 2017, when Overtreders W and Bureau Sla created a temporary pavilion made entirely of loaned materials secured by a complex arrangement of borrowed straps and belts. Like Overtreders W's People's Pavilion – which received the Sustainability Award at the Frame Awards 2018 – the hijacking of once-invisible mechanisms of connection reveal traditional methods of production to be merely provisional.

Those in the market for something a little more limited-edition than a standard C7 Corvette Z06 will be delighted to know Hertz has a sports car for you. Following the car rental service's 100th anniversary celebrations, it's selling 100 C7 Corvette Z06 Hertz edition models.
According to Corvette Blogger, Hertz purchased the cars and had them outfitted with special badging to celebrate the company's 100th anniversary. With the party over, it's time to let the sports cars go. They were previously available to rent at a number of U.S. airports.
Each Corvette features Corvette Racing Yellow paint with black stripes and black wheels. Not coincidentally, the colors match Hertz's corporate colors. The cars also feature yellow brake calipers and competition seats. Hertz badging is present inside, which includes a centennial plaque marking the car's production number as one of 100 cars.
The company hasn't placed the cars for sale just yet and said fans should watch the website to see when the Corvettes are listed for sale. Once the cars surface for sale, buyers can begin the process via an online application before moving on to financing. Of course, each of the cars will have some mileage on them. They were rental cars, after all. We'd also imagine more than a few of them had some abusive times with drivers looking for a quick whip on their vacation.

Wet and windy weather this weekend
Storm Jorge will bring heavy rain and strong winds to parts of the UK from Friday (tomorrow).
Named by the Spanish meteorological service Agencia Estatal de Meteorología (AEMET) on Thursday, Storm Jorge will track across the north-west of the UK over the weekend bringing another spell of strong winds and heavy rain. The system will also bring a spell of strong winds to northwest Spain on Saturday, prompting AEMET to issue orange wind warnings and name the system.
Chief Meteorologist at the Met Office, Paul Gundersen, said:
"This weekend we'll see another named Storm bring strong winds to parts of the UK with several wind and rain warnings in place.
"On Friday a band of rain associated with Storm Jorge will move across the UK - we have issued rain warnings for parts of Wales and northern England, where rain will be heaviest and we could see 60-80mm possible over the highest ground. South-westerly winds will strengthen through Saturday morning and it'll turn widely windy except for northern Scotland, with wind warnings in place for Northern Ireland, Wales, southern Scotland and much of England. Where warnings are in place gusts of 50-60mph are likely quite widely with 65-70mph possible in coastal areas, however the strongest and most damaging winds are expected across the Republic of Ireland."
With rain falling on already saturated ground, further flooding is possible places. You can check your flood risk and stay up to date with flood warnings in your area with Natural Resources Wales, SEPA, NI Direct and the Environment Agency."
Why is this storm not called Ellen?
The Spanish meteorological service, part of the south west Europe storm naming group, named Storm Jorge on Thursday (27th). It is convention for all other national meteorological services to then use that name when referring to the low pressure. As such the system will not be named Ellen but will align with our European partners and be referred to as 'Jorge'. The fact that the system may have a different name than some expected should not influence their response. The weather over the weekend could have impacts due to the strong winds and those in the warning areas should take the advice of local emergency services seriously.
Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Dan Harris, said:
"As Storm Jorge begins to weaken and clear later on Saturday we'll see a trend back to slightly colder conditions, with some snow over hills and mountains in the north of the UK and a mixture of rain and hail showers in the south. Away from much of Scotland it'll remain blustery on Sunday, although not quite as windy as Saturday.
"The weather looks likely to remain rather cold and showery into next week and there's a chance of further wet and windy weather around the middle of the week, although confidence in details are low at this stage."

Dubbed North America's emerging 'Martha Stewart of Manners,' a former Paris fashion model — now an etiquette mentor — is hitting the road.
B.C.-based Judi Johnston Vankevich — better known as Judi the Manners Lady — is taking the old-fashioned message of honour, respect and obedience, with a hip twist, to public schools, community concerts and churches across Canada and the United States.
She is also hitting the radio airwaves with her new commentaries, 'Judi's Family Minute,' produced by Salem Communications; and Vankevich was recently featured on James Dobson's radio show, Focus on the Family. Her concert tour this fall and spring in support of her highly anticipated children's CD debut, Everybody Needs Good Manners! will take her to L.A., Boston, Atlanta, Washington, Seattle, Colorado and Toronto, including performing at 'Baby Boom,' the national parenting conference in Ottawa.
It all began in Virginia in 1995, when Vankevich started teaching her then three-year-old daughter Alexi about the do's and don'ts of social etiquette. Since then, it has blossomed into an international trend-setting movement that has gotten Vankevich and her Manners Club & Life Skills International organization onto the front pages of the Boston Globe, Christian Science Monitor, Vancouver Sun, The Toronto Star and Today's Parent Magazine.
Television appearances over the past several months include CBS This Morning, Canada AM, the CBC, CTV and WB networks, and 100 Huntley Street. As the National Post put it, "The Manners Lady is on a mission." Recently honoured by the Women of Excellence Awards with the award for Arts & Culture, as well as by the Langley Chamber of Commerce as the 2001 New Entrepreneur of the Year, Vankevich is a nominee in the upcoming Canadian Gospel Music Association Awards on November 2. As well, her CD will be entered in the children's categories for the Grammies, the Doves and the Juno Awards.

Recipe Rooms is a place I want to share, firstly because I like to feed my family and secondly, I don't believe it's just me that gets this cooking malarkey wrong occasionally. There must be others of you out there who have answered the phone mid bake and regretted it!
I'm not saying all my cooking results in diplomatic frowns from the family, when it's stew season I'm there, chopping veg like my life depends on it and when we have guests, a hearty chunky chilli in the slow cooker headlines my self acclaimed cheffy cv. You can probably see the pattern here, if it can all be thrown into just one pan I'm your woman! I strongly believe that whoever invented the one pot wonder should have been awarded a medal!
There are a lot of places I can find wonderful (and successful) recipes but there's more to cooking than that. What about the meals we whizz up from the kitchen pre-shopping day? What about the concoctions we create and then wish we hadn't?
There has to be space in the world for it all, a place where we can point at the smears of charcoal on a tray and proudly declare 'These were my parsnip crisps'! a place where we can lick our lips and tell other wannabe chefs about our delicious lemon drizzle cake that actually worked! and finally a place where we can feel comfortable in the knowledge that we're not the only ones creating culinary crap.
Come and get comfortable with Recipe Rooms.

LIGHT REPAIRS: A ROUNDTABLE ON THE RESTORATION OF MARK ROTHKO'S HARVARD MURALS
WHEN IS A PAINTING not a painting anymore?
In 1962, Mark Rothko created the Harvard Murals, a set of six monumental paintings, five of which were displayed in the penthouse dining room of the university's Holyoke Center, a windowed perch with stunning views. Deeply and delicately hued expanses, the canvases ranged in color from searing orange-red to light pink to dark purple. But in the decade that followed, continual exposure to daylight drastically changed the works, fading them so that some areas lightened to near white while others turned a dull black. Languishing in storage for many years, the works were thought to be beyond repair. But recently, a team of conservators and scientists made a new and unprecedented attempt to restore the pictures—not with pigment or chemicals but with light: For each canvas, they devised a highly complex colored-light projection that, when shone on the work, returns it to its original coloration. What we see is what was meant to be seen, ostensibly. But what are the risks of such an approach? Does the use of light open the door to virtual reality, to smoke and mirrors, turning the paintings into something else altogether? Or does it constitute a brilliant way of making the paintings viewable again, without so much as touching a thread of canvas?
Conservator CAROL MANCUSI-UNGARO, who worked on the project; curators HARRY COOPER and JEFFREY WEISS; art historian YVE-ALAIN BOIS; Artforum editor MICHELLE KUO; and artists LYNN HERSHMAN LEESON, DAVID REED, KEN OKIISHI, and R. H. QUAYTMAN peer into the void.
CAROL MANCUSI-UNGARO: Rothko's Harvard Murals were installed in 1964, but after suffering differential damage, they were put in storage in 1979. They were included in a few exhibitions, two at Harvard and one traveling exhibition, but basically they hadn't been seen or studied for decades.
The murals are one of only three commissions that Rothko made. Scholars studied the Seagram paintings, and they studied the Rothko Chapel, but they largely skipped the Harvard Murals because hardly anyone had seen them. Most only knew the story about their fading and being removed from view. The works
THE MUSEUM RECITED: The museum was a method—a method of memory. If I remember, the museum was a palace that looked out onto the garden of the nineteenth century, away from Europe's tectonic plate. The glass in its windows was thick and the frames made of wood. Who described the museum this way? ". . . No people allowed. One plays here every day until the end of the world." The museum was seen only by the guards—and by old women and children. They learned how to memorize and to understand how the sky is painted in Holland, France, Germany, Italy, Great Britain, and Spain. And wasn't it true that


Sustainable construction goes beyond green building practices — structures are designed to have a lower environmental impact over their entire lifetime, while providing a normal level of comfort, durability and functionality for occupants. In business situations, this allows companies to grow, without growing at the expense of the environment.
If businesses continue to rely on traditional building practices, communities will be at risk of water shortages. Sustainable buildings, on the other hand, feature systems, appliances, and landscapes that require less water.
Instead of depleting natural resources, developers of sustainable constructions use less raw materials and more environmentally-responsible products, such as recycled or renewable resources. They also look for the most durable options to delay the need for replacements and repairs for as long as possible. Lastly, they recycle construction debris to reduce the amount of waste going to landfills.
Sustainable buildings include energy-saving appliances that lower carbon emissions and reliance on fossil fuels.
Even the choice of land plays a role in sustainable construction. Properties are built in areas where construction will lead to the least possible land degradation and deforestation while promoting healthy landscaping and preventing erosion.
Sustainable construction has significant long-term effects, allowing businesses to play their part in protecting the environment on a daily basis. Creating such workplaces also makes further sustainability efforts much easier, which can benefit both local communities and society as a whole.

Dunja Knebl (born 1946, Zagreb) is an acoustic folk and ethno music singer/performer and translator from Croatia.

Knebl was born in Zagreb, SFR Yugoslavia and lived in Skopje, Belgrade, Karlovac, but has also lived in Washington, Moscow and Jakarta. After completing her studies of English and Russian she spent most of her life working as a translator and language teacher, in her free time she sang folk songs to her friends.

She began performing professionally in 1993, and released her first solo album in 1994, an MC with 12 songs collected by Florijan Andrašec, one of the people she mentions as having a great influence on her music.

In 1997 she was nominated for the music award Porin, the Croatian equivalent of a Grammy, in the Best singer category.  she released eleven albums and appeared on five other compilations.

The majority of the songs she sings are from Croatia (especially from the region Međimurje), but also from the USA, Macedonia and Russia. She is quoted as saying that her greatest achievement is the inclusion of her album Iz globline srca in the London-based A Rough Guide to World Music where she is recommended as an introduction to ethno-music from Croatia.

Additionally, she translated several Croatian cook-books into English, and the biographical monodrama Why I became a singer at the age of 47 or the fear of cloning was performed by the singer over two dozen times since 1997.

Knebl is most noted for her crystal-clear voice and very simple music arrangements, often only with improvised instruments or even without any. The songs she sings are slow, mellow and often sad and melancholic. Most of all she likes to record songs she has never heard.

Recent collaboration with Roko Margeta for 'Svilarica Svilu Prede''' with songs from Slavonia was featured on Transglobal World Music Chart for January 2021.

Album Songbook Songs was in top 20 of Balkan World Music Chart 2021, and reviewed by Marija Vitas of World Music Association of Serbia as: '... impressive album, with each song approached differently, with a lot of care and sense for detail. In the same time,the whole concept is crystal clear, and exceptionally coherent as a whole.'''

Breakfast With The Borgias
'Hell is other people.' This is a chilling, page-turning Hammer novella by the Booker-Prize-winning author of Vernon God Little. The setting: a faded, lonely guesthouse on the Essex coast. Outside, it's dark, and very foggy. Inside there's no phone or internet reception, no connection with the outside world. Enter Ariel Panek, a promising young academic en route from the USA to an important convention in Amsterdam. With his plane grounded by fog at Stanstead, he has been booked in for the night at the guesthouse. Discombobulated and jetlagged, he falls in with a family who appear to be commemorating an event. But this is no ordinary celebration. And this is no ordinary family. As evening becomes night, Panek realises that he has become caught in an insidious web of other people's secrets and lies, a Sartrian hell from which for him there may be no escape.

LIVE from Your Speakers: The Doors, ABSOLUTELY LIVE
70s Rock LIVE From Your Speakers
To witness the Doors perform at the height of their powers was to witness a Shamanic ritual, a juke-joint blues set and a poetry reading, all in one. At the heart of it all was the shaman/bluesman/poet James Douglas Morrison, the band's voice and primary source of energy. If he was able to connect and engage with an attentive audience, shows had a way of elevating, of lifting band and crowd to heightened levels of connection, opening the "doors of perception" from which the band took its name. If things didn't go so well, though, you had March 1, 1969 – the infamous Miami show, during which a clearly inebriated Morrison screamed and cursed at the crowd, baited police and allegedly exposed himself.
Morrison jokingly refers to the Miami gig ("... grown men were weeping, policemen were turning in their badges …") at one of the shows recorded for the Doors' 1970 double-album set ABSOLUTELY LIVE, a record that provides listeners with a compendium of cuts that producer Paul Rothchild called "the ultimate [Doors] concert." Indeed, just about everything the Doors were capable of can be found on the album's four sides.
First off, you get the blues – a six-minute run through Bo Diddley's "Who Do You Love" that's all sweat and rumble; a take on Willie Dixon's "Back Door Man" that is so feral it threatens to come apart at several moments; and keyboardist Ray Manzarek's spotlight turn on Dixon's "Close to You," a soulful shuffle with a wicked Robbie Krieger guitar solo. There's also the band's own "Five to One," a cracking contemporary blues that doesn't let up hitting the listener until the very end.
The band shows off their eclecticism with "Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar)," the Weill/Brecht tune they had covered so well on their debut, as well as the new song "Universal Mind," which moves from slow stomp to jaunty parlor tune effortlessly.
Morrison the poet emerges on Side Four with the first official recording of "Celebration of the Lizard," the 14-minute, seven-part performance piece that had to have blown minds when trotted out by the band onstage. This recording, from a performance at the Aquarius Theater in Hollywood, rewards close listening; headphones are optional, but recommended.
ABSOLUTELY LIVE is a fine encapsulation of what the Doors were about in 1969 and 1970; the album captures the band in terrific form, leading one to believe Rothchild's "ultimate concert" goal was achieved, if not surpassed.

Weezes flygplats eller Niederrheins flygplats (IATA: NRN, ICAO: EDLV) är en internationell flygplats placerad i det lilla samhället Weeze i regionen Niederrhein i Nordrhein-Westfalen i västra Tyskland. Flygplatsen ligger cirka 30 km från Nijmegen i Nederländerna och cirka 80 km norr om Düsseldorf. Düsseldorf nås genom A57.

Historik
Flygplatsen är uppbyggd på Royal Air Force nedlagda flygbas RAF Laarbruch. Efter nedläggningen av den militära verksamheten 1999 öppnades flygplatsen 2003 för civilflyg. Flygplatsen används idag endast av charter och lågprisflyg.

Flygplatsen har genomgått en rad namnändringar. Man ville först döpa den efter Düsseldorf, men då det redan fanns tre internationella flygplatser närmare Düsseldorf, förbjuds det av en domstol som tyckte det skulle vara förvirrande för passagerarna. Flygbolagen som använder flygplatsen kallar den för Düsseldorf Weeze.

Reguljära destinationer och flygbolag

Evenemang
Från 2000 till 2003 hölls festivalen Bizarre-Festival på det som tidigare var Royal Air Forces område (det sista året under namnet Terremoto). Sedan 2004 arrangeras festivalen Q-Base på området.

CASIO Singapore Launches Full Metal 5000 Series G-SHOCKS at Supplies & Co.
in Fashion, NEWS
PHOTO - CASIO SINGAPORE
CASIO Singapore launched the new Full Metal 5000 Series G-SHOCKs on 25th April at a private event held at Supplies & Co, a local multi-label retailer specialising in high end street fashion – the perfect location to match the new watches' premium positioning within the G-SHOCK family.
The event was a story almost four decades in the making, beginning with Mr Kikuo Ibe's work to develop the first G-SHOCK based on the concept of a tough timepiece with shock resistance unlike anything else on the market then. A eureka moment occurred one day when Mr Ibe saw a little girl bouncing a rubber ball, and realised that shock resistance could be achieved by manipulating the watch case's material and structure. With this breakthrough, development of the shockproof watch progressed rapidly and the first G-SHOCK, the resin-clad DW-5000C, was released in 1983.
PHOTO – CASIO SINGAPORE
This year, the original 5000 series that started it all received the full metal treatment with the release of the GMW-B5000D-1 – the very first 5000 series watch with a metal case and bracelet. To mark the 35th anniversary of the G-SHOCK, a limited edition reference with a gold IP (Ion Plating) treatment, the GMW-B5000TFG-9, has also been released. These were the two watches that were launched in Singapore at Supplies & Co.
With 2018 marking the G-SHOCK's 35th anniversary, activities are set to ramp up to celebrate this as part of the G-SHOCK's ORIGINS campaign, with a major celebration in November.

Indie 2D Shooter Butcher Is a Love Letter to the 90s
By Steven Bogos Legacy Author October 6, 2016
Butcher draws inspiration from those 2D shoot-em-ups of the 90s, like Duke Nukem and Contra.
Do you like side-scrolling shoot-em-ups like Contra and Duke Nukem? Do you wish video game and movie violence was still as gratuitous as it was in the 90s? Well then, Butcher may be the game for you. The latest from indie dev Transhuman Design is out now on Steam, and features a pixelated 2D artstyle that is brutal, and awesome.
"The easiest mode is 'HARD'! Butcher is a fast-paced 2D shooter game and a blood-soaked love letter to the early 90s. As a cyborg programmed to eradicate the last remains of humanity, your sole purpose is to well… annihilate anything that moves," wrote the developer in a Press Release.
Think Doom and Quake but in 2D, right down to the chainsaw and the ultra-violent uncompromising carnage. Check out the video to the right to see it in action, and some screenshots below:
The game will set you back a mere $10 and is available on PC, Mac and Linux.

Breaking Down the Seven Tenets of Data Unification
(Kamira/Shutterstock)
One of the longstanding challenges in analytics is data unification. While federated approaches are gaining some favor, the vast majority of analytic practitioners want the data to be present in one place before analyzing it. This means that data from different entities must be unified, and that's a problem.
In the new white paper "The Seven Tenets of Scalable Data Unification," renowned computer scientist and Tamr cofounder and CTO Michael Stonebraker lays out the challenge in his unique and plainspoken style.
Stonebraker – who is also a Turing Award winner, an MIT professor, and the creator of Vertica — starts the white paper by describing data unification, which he says consists of seven steps, including ingesting, cleansing, transformation, schema integration, deduplication, classification, and exporting (but don't confuse these seven attributes with the tenets).
Companies have traditionally used two main approaches to tackling data unification, including extract transform and load (ETL) and master data management (MDM). Each has advantages and disadvantages, Stonebraker says.
ETL is flexible and adaptable to different data sources by enabling programmers to hand-code transformation routines to ensure the source data's schema matches up with the global schema chosen for the centralized data warehouse project. Because of the lack of automation, Stonebraker says few companies have the ETL bandwidth to go beyond 20 data sources.
MDM is similar to ETL in that it presupposes there's a "master record" that every file of particularly category (such as customers, parts, and suppliers) should adhere to. But instead of using custom-written scripts, as ETL does, it relies on a series of "fuzzy merge" rules to hammer all the disparate files into the master format.
However, neither the ETL nor the MDM approach will work with all data unification challenges, particularly at scale, according to Stonebraker. These limitations are what define his Seven Tenets of Data Unification.
Because of the volume of todays' big data sets and the huge demands they place on programmers, any scalable data unification project must be automated to a large degree. It can't rely on hand-coded scripts. That leads to Stonebraker's first tenet:
"Any scalable system must perform the vast majority of its operations automatically."
The variety of today's data also presents a problem. When the drug company Novartis sought a way to unify the notes of 10,000 scientists doing "wet lab" work, it was faced with a global schema problem. In short, flexible schema-on-read approach is the only way to handle the variety problem. That leads to Stonebraker's second tenet:
"Schema-first products will never scale. The only option is to run a schema-last product."
While automation is a critical factor in data unification, there's simply no way to replace human experts from the loop. In the case of Novartis, only the scientist herself is capable of confirming that a particular piece of data, such as the name of a new chemical compound, is correct and not a misspelling. That leads to the third tenet:
"Only collaborative systems can scale when domain specific operations are required."
Scalability is a must in big data unification. When the data sets routinely exceed 10 million individual files, they are simply too big for a single computing core, let alone a single chip or a single computer, to process alone. That brings us to the fourth tenet:
"To scale, any unification computation must be run on multiple cores and multiple processors."
Clustering algorithms lie at the heart of modern data unification and data cleansing tools. And while these algorithms are parallelized, if they're too complex, they'll take too long to run. That leads Stonebraker to his fifth tenet:
"Even with Tenet 4, a parallel algorithms with lower complexity than N ** 2 is required for truly scalable applications."
Many MDM products use a rules-based approach to define the transformations. But with the volume and variety of data that enterprises are trying to unify these days, those approaches won't work. This made up Stonebraker's sixth tenet:
"A rule system implementation will not scale. Only machine learning systems can scale to the level required by large enterprises."
Finally, a data unification system must be adaptable to how the customer works. While it may be technically possible to take a "brute force" approach to updating each record as it changes, if the data is large or changes frequently, it would create a mess. That leads Stonebraker's to his seventh and final tent of data unification:
"Incremental unification in real time must be supported."
According to Stonebraker, the ETL approach will fail to abide by tenets one, two, and three, while the MDM approach will fail tenets one, two, and six. The self-service data preparation approach, which has been popular in the big data arena, will fail "at least" tenets one and three. He also says all the products – ETL, MDM, and self-service data prep – are likely to fail tenets five and seven.
We'll leave you to guess which data unification vendor's product Stonebraker says will satisfy all seven tenets. (Hint: it starts with a "T").

RIVERSIDE, OH — According to this report from WHIO-TV, Joe Kinney, the owner of the Page Manor Cinema in Riverside, due to stealing by his employess that was "off the hook", has shuttered the theater, which first opened in 1967.
Kinney said that over the last two years, he has had to fire over 30 employees due to theft of money and a pinball machine. Kinney has operated the Page Manor for the past two years.
Reading the comments for this theater it seems obvious there are many reasons this place folded. I doubt very seriously that employee theft was the root cause.
Huh? Thats about as sorry of an excuse Ive ever heard. I highly doubt a place could go through that many "stealing" employees in such a short ammount of time. I mean what are the odds that he'd "just happen" to hire that many criminals? And if he were that rare 1%, how incompetent do you have to be to not start doing criminal checks or impliement some sort of safeguard the first time you suspect something?
The truth is Mr. Kinney was up. It was a three year deal at $3,000 a month.
Mr. Kinney wanted to close it about 3 weeks into it, and talked about it all the time.
He only left it open so the lease would run out.
The theft was wild there a lot from his own family and "friends" working there with him.
Even had own "friend" take over $600.00 in one weekend.
In reading this article, it sounds like the owner did not know how to manage people properly or else had a poor management staff. Having operated other businesses myself, it's amazing how an owner can blame others for their lack of business knowledge when business (or profit) is lacking.
This is not to start rumors or talk about of anyone. The biggest down fall of the theatre is the greatest opportunity it once had. Joe Kinney is a great guy; he is very smart and runs Joe's Heat & Air. Joe has a big heart and that got him in to trouble and doomed the theatre before it was ever open. Joe put a lot of time and money in to PMTC.
Charlie was the guy who only on paper owned part of PMTC with Joe. Charlie was to put his 50 plus years of theatre operation know how into it and Joe put the money in.
Mr. Augustine a teacher by day emailed me and said he saw the theatre was opening and wanted to know if we (PMTC) needed his help.
Mr. Augustine who once worked for Regal and Danbarry.
Mr. Augustine stabbed the 70 year Charlie in the back when he knew Joe was the money man and pushed Charlie out. This also was helped by Joe's Dad who felt because of the last 20years Charlie owned Cinema â€"X-East it would look bad on PMTC.
The theatre opened on a Friday in January 04. That Charlie was let go that night. The theatre was to be $2.50 and play movies before they left first run. This is like an intermediate policy even though most do not use the term anymore. The former Beaver Valley Cinema which in now The Bargain Box Office operates the same way. They play a movie that left Regal but is at other first-runs.
Joe instead of talking to the studios from his booker and Mr. Augustine's lack of theatre know how pulled the movies and played day and date with Danbarry. After a few months and being closed almost 6 years Mr. Augustine thought best to make is a dollar and even tried to change the name to Page Manor Dollar Cinema.
Over and over Joe would talk about cloing it. Almost all the time from month 2 to just weeks ago.
The past few years have seen Augustine hire unfriendly friends who the "trained" and thought the knew the world to hiring "operators" with pink and blue hair who banned all kids under 16 so he didn't have to tell them to be quite. Skateboards and people lying on the floor it was a mess.
Free concessions going out everywhere the cost was out there and it wasted. A 900plus week pay roll and $12,000 concession spending. PMTC went back at the end to $2.00 admission and pulled the same patrons as a dollar. Instead the were just losing $1.00 for a year! Augustine had a bright idea of making a bargain day of $1.00, but did it on Fridays one of the busiest time for theatres.
The lease was final up and Joe did not want to renew and PMTC closed.
I've seen large chain complexes and small theatres operated by poor management. At one theatre (large chain), there was a problem of alot of seniors were going to the movies. Doesn't sound like a problem, but the past records showed this theatre did not do a large senior trade. So the chain started sending checkers in to see what was up. It turned out they had a manager selling senior tickets to regular patrons and pocketing the differance. On Friday & Saturdays the manager worked the box office without a cashier and did not get the dual signing on the box office reports. The manager did not have a record, he pasted his criminal checks. The problem turned up he started going to those card clubs and betting large amounts. So the next manager at that theatre worked out just fine and was sent to another theatre. But the next one after that one had worked for the chain for a long time. She was a nice person, ran the theatre well. But the staff made deals that she did not know about. I got sent back into the theatre just to watch what was happening. I was their projectionist and maintained the theatre. The staff got to eat popcorn and soda, no big deal. The staff passed friends into the theatre also no big deal, the money was working out fine. The problem was that the chiefs of staff were trading 5 gallon boxes of Coke (soda) to the neighbor pizza place for free pizza. This was what the company wanted me to find. The staff had no records. They got the idea that the company buys the bag-in a box of Coke for $20, they could buy a large pizza and stuff for that price at the place. So they did this around 4 times a week. The was finding that the yields for Coke to the amount of cups sold was wrong. Later I asked one of the chiefs about it, he told me the box was worth $20. I told him about yields and that box could make hundreds of dollars for the company and that why he was being fired. (The pizza sucked) I've seen the old cashier and doorman ticket resale game. Funny thing it happened to me one night as I was going to the movies off duty. I called it in the next day.
Same thing can go for operations of a pub/bar. With a bartender giving free drinks other than buy backs, using better brands then the bar's well. Many companies only doing small criminal checks and if this was a small theatre chain with friends working it could happen. I've seen friends run large tabs for very trustworthy bartenders and you don't see the person for a few days.
William's post was rather interesting with regards to theft. Restaurants also have a major problem with regards to this. Some of this I have observed from being an assistant manager at a fast food place (many years ago). Cashiers not ringing up some of the sales, and the food used for those orders was then categorized as "waste". (This was a suspicion when the "waste" report was rather high.) Somebody checking in inventory off the truck and claiming that "it wasn't all there" (this happened one time when the shift manager, who was supposed to check in the inventory with one employee, did not check in the inventory. That shift manager was "passed out" in the dining room from being under the influence. That same shift manager was later fired for taking money from the safe, probably to feed his drug habit.) Passing out "free food" to "your buddies" was also happening. (Again, showing up as "waste") I even recall the store manager firing an entire graveyard crew over excessive problems with theft, working while on drugs &/or alcohol, and some "drug sales" at the drive-thru.
never a reason to close ……..weak ownership…..
Sometimes you have to cut your losses. His lease was up.
If it were my theater and I had the proof, I'd have everyone of those people locked up for theft and made sure they were prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I guess there was no video to record the ticket/soda trading schemes!
The cameras did not record. It was basically I know you and so and so was here and the concession is $90.00 off and the box is $60.00. He often "let them go" but would bring them back because he felt there was no one else to do "the job". His Heat and Air is his bread and butter so if the cinema gets ripped out he is out $200.00 if he can't do a service call for the Heat and Air he would be out thousands of dollars. He had to pick his battles. The theatre also had several band e robberies that were inside jobs. They went trough the roof only took pay check cash from drawers! Not computers and other items.
It is so sad that Page Manor Twin closed. I ran a movie group for moms and kids in the mornings on Mondays and Tuesdays there, and we miss it very much. Mr. Kinney and Mr. Augustine were very nice (although it was tough to get them to return a call for theater rental information). I hope that someone re-opens the theater with more trust-worthy employees. It's really nice inside, but sad when the lock on the front door is just some wire to keep it shut. I considered offering to run the theater while I was there, and now I wish I would have knowing now that the people working it were so dishonest. I'm sad to see it go. But thanks Mr. Augustine and Mr. Kinney for a few good movies while it lasted.
I grew up on Spinning Road, and remember when Page Manor was a state-of-the-art theatre when it opened back in 1967. I remember, as a 7-year-old, seeing Planet of the Apes with my mom there.
Dr. Creep was there for a lot of events in later years, from what I understand. Could it ever be opened again?
Must have been bad management when I worked for LOEWS In Nashville,Tennessee,the money was watched very close and all conncessions were inventoried at least once a day sometimes more,this is a very poor excuse.
When i worked for GCC we inventoried the whole concession,not just what was out in the concession stand,but the stock room of boxes and boxes of candy.And we did this every night not just Thursday night when the weekly reports had to be sent off to Boston.Plez don't blame it on staff.Too many old theatre dawgs out here know better.

Reassuring News About All Three Aromatase Inhibitors
Hester Hill Schnipper, LICSW, OSW-C Program Manager, Oncology Social Work
Aromatase inhibitors are the standard of care for post-menopausal women with ER positive breast cancers. Some also receive chemotherapy, but virtually all receive one of three AIs. The choice of which medication to use seems to depend on a doctor's personal experiences with her patients and, sometimes, other medical issues for a particular patient. I have known a few women who started on one of the three, experienced unpleasant side effects (e.g. headaches or mild nausea) and were switched to a different one that was tolerated without any problems. If you have ER positive breast cancer, you are likely aware of the ongoing discussion re the optimal amount of time to continue on the drug. Initially it was two or three years, first, of tamoxifen and then two or three (to total 5) additional years of an AI. Then the standard of care changed to most women receiving five years of an AI; more recently, that practice has lengthened, and many women stay on the meds for seven or ten years or longer. That decision depends on a woman's individual situation and her doctor's preferences.
The AIs are also used in the treatment of women with metastatic or Stage IV cancers. For them, the plan is each one sequentially. That is, she takes one AI until there is progression of cancer and then switches to the second and, when it stops being useful, switches to the third. There are also now several combinations of using one of the AIs along with a second drug for women with Stage IV breast cancers.
For the first time, there has been a study comparing the efficacy of the three drugs, and it turns out that they are equally helpful. This is wonderful news and reduces or eliminates any concerns about which one is best. Here is the report from Medscape about the Italian study. I give you the start and a link to read more:
First Trial of Three Aromatase Inhibitors: Similar Efficacy, Safety
Kristin Jenkins
The first-ever direct comparison of three adjuvant aromatase inhibitors for the treatment of postmenopausal hormone receptor–positive early breast cancer shows no significant differences in clinical efficacy or safety, according to an Italian research team.
In the randomized, open-label phase 3 FATA-GIM3 trial of almost 3700 women, the 5-year disease-free survival for patients treated with anastrozole (Arimidex, Novartis), exemestane (Aromasin, Pfizer), or letrozole (Femara, Novartis) was 90.0%, 88.0% and 89.4%, respectively.
There were no unexpected serious adverse reactions or treatment-related deaths, say Francesco Perrone, MD, of the Istituto Nazionale per lo Studio e la Cura dei Tumori, in Naples, Italy, and colleagues. No differences were observed between patient subgroups, even though more than 50% of patients were overweight or obese.
The study was published online February 23 in the Lancet Oncology.

At Dorchester's Brookview House, Yoga Fosters Growth
Once a week, the shelter turns into a yoga studio.

Yoga at Brookview House/Photo by Randy Goodman
At 5:45 on a Tuesday evening, Dorchester's Brookview House is a buzz of activity. Children chatter and play under the watchful eye of staff, engulfing long tables that cover much of the floor.
By 6 o'clock, the chaos is gone. The tables have been pushed aside, the kids ushered into a side room. Four women sit quietly on green yoga mats laid across the now-empty floor, ready to press pause.
Once a week, Brookview House—an apartment-style, long-term women's and children's shelter that focuses on building life skills and helping families get back on their feet—transforms into a yoga studio. It's a program that President and CEO Deborah Hughes says allows Brookview's 12 adult residents a much-needed respite.
"We try to bring in all kinds of methodologies that help women reduce their stress, and also do self-care, because they're so focused on taking care of their children that they don't take care of themselves," Hughes says. "Yoga gives them the time to de-stress so they can take in the life skills training. It gives them the time to just breathe."
The classes are taught by volunteer instructors from Hands to Heart Center, a nonprofit organization that brings free yoga to those who have faced trauma or adversity, traveling to community centers, schools, nonprofits, and other local organizations.
Brookview may not be a luxurious boutique studio—children's voices float through the room throughout class, and the door's buzzer occasionally punctures the quiet—but Hands to Heart is doing everything it can to obscure that. Sessions are gentle and soothing, with a priority on transforming a space. Savasana often includes aromatherapy and eye pillows, and practices offer participants a rare chance to slow down and rest.
Hughes says that unto itself is a rare gift for Brookview's residents, most of whom are single mothers with multiple children, and many of whom are working to overcome domestic abuse, addiction, and mental health issues. But beyond that, the weekly yoga classes—which were added to the programming schedule based on resident requests—offer women a chance to stretch their boundaries.
"They requested it because it's something you hear about, you see about, you read about, but they've never had the opportunity to experience it," Hughes says. "What we try to help folks learn is to just try something new, try something different. We expose them to all kinds of different things."

Humsaya (Neighbour) is a 1968 Hindi romantic spy thriller film produced and directed by Joy Mukherjee. The film was made under the newly established Joy Mukherjee Productions banner. The music direction was by O. P. Nayyar with lyrics by Shevan Rizvi, S. H. Bihari and Hasrat Jaipuri. It stars Joy Mukherjee, Mala Sinha, Sharmila Tagore in lead roles, with Rehman, Madan Puri, Sapru, Gajanan Jagirdar in other important roles.

The story revolves around Joy Mukherjee playing the double role of an Indian Air Force officer and his lookalike Chinese officer, with Mala Sinha and Sharmila Tagore providing the romantic angle.

Plot
Shyam, an officer in the Indian Air Force, is court-martialled for having committed a murder. He denies the charges but is stripped of his rank and de-mobbed. Professor Tao Ki Chen, a Chinese spy, having framed Shyam for the murder, plays up to him and takes him to a shack near the India-China border.  There Shyam overhears Chen talking to Lin Tan a Chinese officer, who has had plastic surgery done to look like Shyam. The plan is for Lin to impersonate Shyam and try getting army secrets out. Somehow Shyam manages to kill Lin and pretends to be Lin impersonating Shyam. He goes back to India and is re-instated in the army when he tells them about Chen's nefarious planning. However he's told to continue playing Lin. Lin's wife Sin Tan comes to India with a Chinese Delegation brought by Chen, which leads to misunderstandings due to Shyam's girlfriend Reena being present. Sin Tan thinks that Shyam is her husband Lin, changed to look like Shyam while Reena does not know about the subterfuge. She gets angry and jealous seeing Shyam and Sin Tan together. After several tension-filled protracted incidents Shyam manages to complete the task entrusted to him by his superiors. The film ends with Lin's wife going back to China and Shyam reuniting with Reena.

Cast
 Joy Mukherjee as Shyam / Lin Tan (Double Role)
 Mala Sinha as Sin Tan
 Sharmila Tagore as Reena Sen
 Rehman as Pratap Singh
 Madan Puri as Professor Tao Ki Chen
 Sapru as Mr.  Sen
 Malika as Shakuntala
 Gajanan Jagirdar as Intelligence Officer Sharma

Production
Songs were an important factor in Joy Mukherjee's films as an actor being a success at the box office. Having started acting in 1960 with Love in Simla, his career started declining in the late 1960s. Humsaaya was produced as a means of saving his career, but the film did not do well at the box office. According to the Times Of India blog the film "collapsed" at the box office.

Soundtrack
O. P. Nayyar has composed the music. The lyricists were Shewan Rizvi, S. H. Bihari and Hasrat Jaipuri. The playback singers are Asha Bhosle, Mohammed Rafi and Mahendra Kapoor.

The most important thing to communicate on any website and other tips from renowned copywriting guru Dr. Harlan Kilstein.
On Monday, June 8th 2009, Dr. Harlan Kilstein hosted a small group of website owners & managers in the lounge of a Jerusalem hotel for an open consulting session.
Each guest was able to ask one question about their website, which Harlan would subsequently visit & critique while answering the question. As Harlan put it, his hope was to leave each of us with a way to monetize our sites.
These were my notes from that session, and I'm sure you'll find lots of useful information you can apply to your own website and business.
Typos are the worst mistake you can make with a direct mailing (in the recipient's name).
Use oversize, color postcards because people will notice them more easily.
Get people's names & addresses for postcard marketing by renting contact list information via a list broker. There are 2 kinds of lists: compiled and DR (direct response). Compiled lists pull information together from many sources to make a list such as all the lawyers in a zip code. These lists are notoriously bad and should be avoided. Direct response lists, on the other hand, are lists of people who have bought things, and people get on the list depending on the way they made their purchases. Focus on these lists.
Always check when a list was last updated.
SRDS is a list brokerage service that provides access to targeted DR lists and allows you to filter for how recently people made a purchase, for example.
The list broker will want to know which product you are planning on pitching to list members and might not give you access if they sense a potential conflict with what else is already being pitched to list members.
Beware of The Kilstein Rule: people are stupid. They need to be told what to do, so tell them! Want people to click somewhere? Tell them. Want people to fill in a newsletter subscription form? Tell them.
People usually read websites from the top lefthand corner moving downward and to the right, so have your best information as close as possible to the upper lefthand corner where it will be seen first.
Load the top of your website with benefits, which are the most important thing to communicate on any website. One of the first things you should tell people on your website at the top are the benefits they will get from your website, product or service.
Good website headlines have at least 3 benefits, see golfersmind.com as an example.
Any promised benefits should be believable based on other elements in the near vicinity so that the eye doesn't have to jump far to see them.
Don't make people work to get information about your site. If you're running a personal, authority blog (like this one), there should be credibility-enhancing information on the homepage above the fold.
USE VIDEO. On your homepage, have a video that shows you giving the benefits you claim your site will give readers.
Adults don't like to hear that they don't know something, or that they're a beginner.
Before going into a niche, you need a "food chain," which is a series of products that you are going to sell and give away; a first product, an upsell, a 2nd product, and so on. Once you get started, you need to measure how quickly you are selling products in the food chain. For example, suppose your first product is $20 and your second one is $200. If you have an affiliate that you know will be able to sell the 2nd product well, you might want to let him offer the 1st product free because each purchase of the 2nd product will pay for the 1st.
Choose a graphic designer based on the monetary success of their past websites/projects, not based on what looks good.
To avoid the Google Slap (where Google no longer sends organic traffic to your say), don't make 1 page websites that just have a sales page. Instead, make a blog and use one of the blog's subpages as a sales page, like http://www.nlpcopywriting.com/nlpcopywriting1.html.
For people who don't know you, keep videos short e.g. 1-2 minutes maximum. Videos can get longer as your relationship develops with them.
Use a decent camera for your video. Harlan recommends the flipcams like the MinoHD for good quality & relative low cost that you can keep in your pocket.
Better to have low quality video than no video at all.
Never use white text on a dark background. People over 40 have a harder time reading it, if they can read it at all.
Use a tool like Traffic Geyser (paid) or TubeMogul (free) to broadcast the videos you make.
Email marketers worth emulating: Frank Kern, Matt Furey (mattfurey.com – he likes to tease people so they'll click through) and Eben Pagan (penname: David Deangelo, he's know for 'pushing the free line' i.e. giving away such good content free that you assume his paid stuff is that much better.
Don't try selling before there's a relationship with the lead. Harlan calls this the 'will you marry me?' strategy that he demonstrated by turning to one of the women attendees and proposing to her. She said "no" and he persisted, telling her that he's a nice guy. She said "no" again and he persisted once more by saying that he makes 7 figures. She still said "no". No relationship.
Learn about who your customers are.
If he had to start all over from 0, he would join Opportunity.com and learn affiliate marketing for $37 per month from John Reese's team.
Don't ask questions that people can answer Yes / No / I don't care. Asking questions forces people to focus themselves away from your website/email/etc. and they won't always come back. Instead, use benefit statements to lead people through your content.
Follow @perrybelcher to learn about twitter. For example, it's easy to get people from Twitter to come to teleseminars.
Use words. You don't need to repeat the same terms over and over in your text. If you're concerned about keywords, focus instead on getting the reader to take the action you want.
Great Review of Harlan's Visit @ the Inbal!
one more thing: Harlan hates reverse type.
You're right, Izzy. I had that in my notes too but I missed it when I made this post.
Harlan says that anyone over 40 can't read reverse type, i.e., white type on a dark background.
Thanks Robert! I made the correction.

So, you have finally managed to arrange your first date. Congratulations! Now all you need to do is to make sure that your date is a success. Don't worry, if you don't know where to start. We've got you covered. Just follow our first date tips below and we are more than sure that everything will go smoothly.
Look Your Best. We suggest that you put an extra effort to the way you look. Take the time to be well groomed, clean, neat and smell good. Make sure that your clothes are appropriate to the place you are going to. You know that first impression is crucial, so do your best to "wow" your date. You will also be more confident, knowing that you look your best.
Be On Time. All preparations can take you longer than you expect, so make sure you have enough time. Also, don't have any other plans or meetings before the date to avoid any distractions and possibilities of being late. It is always better to arrive to a date earlier, than to make the other person wait.
Compliments! Be sure to make your date feel good by complementing the way she/he looks. This will set a good tone to your evening. Also, make sure you turn your phone off! Nothing should distract you.
Smile. Nothing can make you more attractive to another person than a genuine smile. Let the other person see how happy you are to be here right now.
Be Funny. Make sure that the other person is having fun time with you. If you know a few good jokes or funny stories – tell them.
Be Attentive. Listen to what your date has to say, do not interrupt. Let the other person finish, before you state your opinion. Make eye contact and say her/his name. This will make your date feel at ease and special.
Relax and Be Yourself. Do not worry if your date is not having a good time. Just manage yourself well and try to enjoy the evening. Keep the conversations open and ask questions. Don't pretend to be someone you are not. This will never work in the long run. You want to meet a person who is drawn to you for who you really are.
Don't Talk About Your Ex. You are looking for a new relationship, so don't bring up your past. You are on a date to have good time, not talk about previous disasters. If you still have unresolved issues and feelings that you want to discuss, book a session with a professional therapist. Here is a person in front of you who is interested to know you better. Give yourself a chance to start afresh.
Enjoy. Dating should be exciting and relaxing experience. Don't stress yourself out trying to make it the perfect date ever. Chances are it won't be perfect, because it is just your first date. When you'll know each other better, you can have a lot of great dates ahead. So just enjoy your time together for now.

France Is Still One Of The Most Visited Countries In The World
MagazineTravel newsFrance Is Still One Of The Most Visited Countries In The World
In 2016, more than 83 million tourists visited France, slightly less than in 2015, but it is still one of the most popular destinations and one of the most visited countries, said the Government of France.
"Last year was also a year of terrorist attacks, floods and social unrest, but the number of tourists shows that France is still the most popular destination in the world, as it was in 2015 when it overtook the United States and Spain," said Jean-Marc Héroe, French Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Development at a press conference in Biarritz.
In 2015, a record 85 million tourists visited France.
Eroe then praised the government's efforts to improve the image of French tourism abroad by implementing a "promotion plan" in which 10 million euros were invested.
In his opinion, the plan has produced good results because it has helped to restore the confidence of Japanese tourists who massively cancelled arrangements for France after the terrorist attacks of 2015 and 2016.
Héroe pointed out that the French government's goal is to reach the figure of 100 million foreign visitors in 2020 and that, as he explained, this will be achieved by strengthening the security of tourists and improving the quality of services.

Calgarian immigrants say voting not a priority
by ASHELY ALCANTARA October 4, 2013 September 4, 2020
Low immigrant vote numbers troubling
As a multicultural city, Calgary has a large population of immigrants. Sitting at 24 per cent internationally born citizens, they make up a large voice in this city – when they're being heard.
A Statistics Canada report, published February 2012, suggested only 51 per cent of recent immigrants voted during the 2011 federal elections. Recent immigrants —those who immigrated to Canada in 2001 or later — were less likely to vote than established immigrants and Canadian-born citizens.
Linh Bui, an immigrant from Vietnam, became a Canadian citizen last year and won't be voting in this coming election.
"It's hard to understand what is going on, there is a big language barrier," she said in Vietnamese through a translator. "I came here to survive and make a living, I don't have time to learn the process of voting. It doesn't affect me personally."
This is an issue not only new immigrants are facing but also those who have made a life in Canada for years.
Anh Lam, who migrated to Canada from Vietnam 34 years ago, has never voted because she said she finds the process complex.
Photo by Ashely AlcantaraAnh Lam, a salon owner in Calgary, also migrated to Canada from Vietnam 34 years ago and has never voted.
"When I first moved to Canada no one told me about politics. I knew nothing," Lam said. "I would like to vote but what is the process? If I understood more I would go."
"There should be more programs to help new immigrants. I've been here for 34 years, and I've just gotten used to not voting in elections. One less vote doesn't make a difference," Lam said. "To me Canada means freedom. Your life is better, so I never worry about voting or anything. We are safe now," she added.
In a 2011 report written by Debbie Belgrave and Charla Vall called Every Vote Counts, they found key reasons for low voter turnout among immigrants:
• Lack of resources and time
• Not understanding the Canadian political system
• Lack of trust in the democratic process
• Poor representation of diversity among elected officials
• Ineligibility due to not being a Canadian citizen
In the report, Immigrant Sector Council of Calgary and Ethno-Cultural Council of Calgary conducted a survey with 174 respondents and hosted a community forum for immigrants from all around the world.
These councils suggest some of the immigrants feel there is a lack of knowledge surrounding election process like where and how to vote, the name of their community and ward number, the role of the municipality and the candidates' positions on issues affecting immigrants.
"We realized that a lot of them were involved in community issues and couldn't find answers or support from the political system to help address those community issues," said Sheeba Vijayan, multicultural co-ordinator with Calgary and Ethno-Cultural Council of Calgary.
"We decided it's about time to educate the ethno-cultural community and the immigrants of our population that they should be more involved in the political process."
"It's their right to vote and it can change some of these systemic barriers," Vijayan said.
The reality for some of these new immigrants is they face a language barrier. According to the report, providing election information in diverse languages and diverse media sources is critical to spreading awareness and knowledge throughout various ethno-cultural communities.
When asked how we can encourage more immigrants to vote in municipal elections, the immigrants in the report said, amongst other things, they would like to see candidates make greater efforts to connect with immigrant groups and that they could do this by attending different cultural events.
The City of Calgary's returning officer, Barb Clifford, said there is no way to know how many voters are new immigrants or even established ones, so the city doesn't have any special outreach programs for them during this municipal election.
With elections this month, informing and making recent immigrants aware of the political process is key to increasing voter turnout.
