OBGYN 's  Response
Dear cheylasaud:
You don't need to take any medications to clean your unborn child from marijuana.
This was the answer to your question, but I would like to give you some information about using marijuana during pregnancy and breast feeding:
- Very little is known about the effects of marijuana during pregnancy.
- those who use marijuana usually have bad standards of life and lack proper antenatal care, also they usually smoke, drink alcohol and maybe other drugs so, the effect may be indirect through the associated factors.
- Marijuana intake may affect fertility in males and females.
- Marijuana does not cause birth defects as most studies say, but some say that heavy use may cause anterior abdominal wall defects and cardiac defects.
- Smoking marijuana may affect the baby by other means such as causing low birth weight (growth impairment) and premature delivery (fortunately not in your case).
- If you smoke marijuana regularly in the third trimester, the baby may experience withdrawal symptoms such as increased tremors and crying, these symptoms disappear within a few days.
- Some studies report behavioral and intellectual affection in children born to mothers who were heavy users of marijuana (regular smoking of one or more cigarettes per day).
- Marijuana should be avoided during breast feeding as it crosses through breast milk to the baby, also it affects milk quantity and quality.
Finally I do respect the way you think and that you are afraid about your baby.
I wish you best luck.
Dr. Ahmed Bahaa.

Cozy commission - 132 & 133 of 365

A coworker has decided to get a headstart on Christmas presents (I've barely even thought about Christmas presents yet!). She saw the mug in its cozy sitting on my desk, and asked if I would make a few for her - Two with a button, two with a knob, both in fall colors.
And here's what turned out:

I'm considering make a few of these for my Etsy store, but there are so many others on Etsy, would I even get any views?

LORD Gill, Scotland's longest serving judge, is the leading contender to become the new Lord President, while Lord Carloway could become Lord Justice Clerk, The Herald can reveal.

The two most senior posts in the Scottish judiciary are yet to be formally awarded but the two judges are understood to be the current favourites.

The news follows the revelation in The Herald yesterday that Colin Boyd, now Lord Boyd, and Maggie Scott, QC, are expected to be appointed high court judges.

Loading article content

Lord Hamilton, the current Lord President and Scotland's most senior judge, is due to retire in June. A formal announcement about his replacement is not expected until next month.

The First Minister established a selection panel in January to make recommendations for a replacement. The panel includes Sir Muir Russell, chairman of the Judicial Appointments Board for Scotland.

The Lord President is the most senior Scots judicial position and the office holder is responsible for leadership of the Scottish judiciary, in addition to chairing the board of the Scottish Court Service. The salary is £214,165.

Lord Gill was made a judge in 1994. He was appointed Lord Justice Clerk and President of the Second Division of the Inner House in November 2001.

He is perhaps the most obvious contender. However, he could still be passed over because of his age. He is already 70.

Lord Carloway recently chaired a review of the Scottish criminal justice system commissioned by the Scottish Government. It made scores of recommendations, such as calling for the end of corroboration. He was made a judge in 2000.

In 2004, he presided over the prosecution of gas transporter Transco under health and safety legislation for an explosion in Larkhall, South Lanarkshire, which killed a family of four, fining the company £15 million.

A Scottish Government spokesman said: "The recruitment process for the appointment of the new Lord President began earlier this year and a decision will be announced in due course."

Meanwhile, the news Lord Boyd is due to become a judge has provoked criticism.

He led the prosecution of the man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing, and was criticised by the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission for failing to disclose information to Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi's defence. He rejected the claims.

When he resigned as Lord Advocate in 2006 there was speculation his decision was connected to the Shirley McKie fingerprint inquiry and Lockerbie case criticisms. He denied that and said it was just time to move on.

Ms McKie's father Iain said the news "took my breath away". He said: "That the Judicial Appointments Board should recommend to the First Minister that Lord Colin Boyd be appointed as a judge to the highest court in the land set new standards for being out of touch."

Tam Dalyell, the former MP and father of the house, said: "The fact he may well become a judge should not inoculate Lord Boyd from the obligation to answer questions on Lockerbie over the period that he headed the Crown Office.

"The Crown Office, and I would have thought Lord Boyd in his position in the Crown Office, have an obligation to address powerful criticisms of non-disclosure."

Of the others expected to become judges, Ms Scott, who was sacked by Tommy Sheridan during his perjury trial in 2010, led Megrahi's recent appeal case and the defence in many high-profile cases, including that of Luke Mitchell, who was convicted of murdering teenager Jodi Jones in January 2005.

It is thought that Michael Jones and David Burns have also been recommended for the position of judge.

Back to School: Not-Your-Usual Historical Best Bets for August 2016

Silk, Swords, and Surrender by Jeannie Lin

What historical romances will you be reading this month?

If they didn’t get a jump start in July, August is definitely the time of year when parents everywhere look at the calendar and think, “Why are these kids not back in school yet?!”  It also, traditionally, means back to school clothes shopping.  And while you’re buying Little Johnny a new pair of shoes, why not spend a little money on yourself by indulging in some Not-Your-Usual historicals?

Silk, Swords, and Surrender by Jeannie Lin

Be swept away to a land of silk and swords, passion and surrender

From USA TODAY bestselling author Jeannie Lin comes a tantalizing new five-story volume. Take a journey to Tang Dynasty China and join five unique heroines as they fight, seduce and steal their way into their heroes' hearts.

Rediscover four reader-favorite stories and immerse yourself in The Touch of Moonlight, the brand-new sexy novella from this highly-acclaimed author!

I loved the now-defunct Harlequin Historical Undone line but with a higher price point (between $2-$3 for a 50-70 pages story), it was hard for the line to remain competitive in a growing digital marketplace.  All of Lin’s previously published stories for Undone are included in this anthology, along with one brand new story–making this one a bargain for readers who skipped over the shorts the first go around.

When a Lady Deceives by Tara Kingston

Titles Are Totally Overrated!

When a Lady Deceives by Tara Kingston

In Victorian London, reporter Jennie Quinn employs deception as a weapon. Going undercover to seek justice for a murdered informant, she’s drawn into a powerful criminal’s seductive game of cat and mouse. Enigmatic former lawman Matthew Colton is as dangerous as he is clever, but the passion in his kiss is too tempting to resist. She aches to trust him, but she will not abandon her quest for the truth.

Colton is a man with secrets of his own. Thirsting for vengeance, the disgraced Scotland Yard detective has infiltrated the criminal world he’s vowed to destroy. Jennie intrigues him, even as she breaks down the barriers around his heart. He yearns to uncover her secrets—in and out of his bed. Driven to shield her, he’ll risk everything to protect the woman whose love heals his soul.

After self-publishing her Secrets & Lies series, Kingston takes this first in her brand new Her Majesty’s Most Secret Service series to Entangled.  She loves adventures stories, romantic intrigue and discloses on her blog that Raiders of the Lost Ark features one of her all-time favorite romances.  Sounds like readers should be prepared for some action and adventure!

The Scoundrel and I by Katharine Ashe

The Scoundrel and I by Katharine Ashe

Can a self-respecting shopgirl dare to trust a scoundrel?

Printer’s assistant Gabrielle Flood just made the worst mistake of her life.
Then handsome, dashing Captain Anthony Masinter came along…
And made it even worse.
And he’s the last man on earth who can help her fix it.

Sometimes a disaster is exactly what two people need to fall in love.

A novella that links the author’s Falcon Club and Prince Catcher series, All About Romance granted it Desert Island Keeper status and says, “The novella works as a stand alone…” and that it’s “A delightful twist on the Cinderella fairytale (with a nod to My Fair Lady)…”

A Stroke of Luck by Audra North

A Stroke of Luck by Audra North

When Bríd Gallagher’s coach breaks down in the middle of a muddy road in West Ireland, she hardly expects that the man of her dreams will be the one to come to her rescue. After all, she is engaged–affianced to a man twice her age in a desperate attempt to save her family from poverty. When Gavin O’Leary appears and awakens an impossible desire in her, Bríd can hardly afford–quite literally–to succumb to the temptation of a village blacksmith.

Gavin cannot wait to quit his village and make his way to Dublin. He is tired of the unpleasant rumors that have plagued him for far too long, and the suspicious looks from those he once considered friends. Pursuing a woman like Bríd Gallagher is hardly a complication he needs to introduce into his life. Besides, she’s already spoken for.

But even the best intentions can sometimes be forgotten in the wake of such powerful attraction. When Bríd and Gavin find themselves closer than either of them expected, a future together is suddenly within sight… but without a stroke of luck on their side, will their happily ever after end up still too far out of reach to take hold of?

Ireland has always been a criminally under-utilized setting in historical romance, and North goes one better by setting her story during the early part of the 20th century (1908).  Primarily working in contemporary romance, her first historical is a prequel novella to her Lucky in Love series.

Conquering William by Sarah Hegger

Conquering William by Sarah Hegger

A practical marriage…

He married for convenience, but William of Anglesea had hoped for more than piety from his new bride. Raised in a convent and thrice widowed, prim Lady Alice of Tarnwych seems like an innocent when it comes to the marriage bed—except for the tentative passion he senses in her touch, and sees in her eyes. It seems the bold knight has a new challenge in alluring Alice. But will seducing his intriguing wife lead to his downfall?

An inconvenient desire…

Everything about charming, free-spirited William defies the cloistered world Lady Alice comes from. Duty brings her to their bed—and a long-held hope for a child. Yet after three indifferent husbands, the desire William shows her awakens her own. Little did Alice expect the powerful feelings he would inspire, emotions that make her ready to abandon her rigid beliefs, and the only family she’s ever known—when William’s life is on the line….

Also publishing contemporary romance, Hegger is drawn to medieval settings because of the magical and fantasy elements of castles and knights.  Also her various travels have led to various wanderings around ruins that had her making up stories about the people who possibly could have lived there.  This is the third book in her Sir Arthur’s Legacy series for Kensington Lyrical.

Whispers on the Wind by Caroline Fyffe

Whispers on the Wind by Caroline Fyffe

Wyoming Territory, October 1883

Tabitha Canterbury came to Logan Meadows with one goal: to open the bookshop she’s always dreamed of having. In a town full of illiterate cowboys, though, making the Storybook Lodge a success is easier said than done. And things get more complicated when the saloon next door gets a new co-owner and Tabitha finds herself falling for the wrong sort of man…

After a lifetime guiding settlers across the prairie, Hunter Wade isn’t looking to stay put in Logan Meadows. But as a partner in the Bright Nugget saloon, he’s determined to turn a profit—and if that puts him in competition with Miss Hoity-Toity Canterbury, that’s fine. Even if she is beautiful, and clever, and always ready with a witty retort.

Can these two stubborn souls come together—or will pride keep them apart?

Fyffe’s debut novel, Where the Wind Blows, won RWA’s Golden Heart and was originally published by Dorchester. After Dorchester closed shop, Fyffe turned to self-publishing and her debut found new life with Amazon Montlake.  That first book gave birth to the Prairie Hearts series, of which her latest release is the fifth.

Written by Alison Maelzer on March 26th, 2014.

Quite a few months after the ‘Exposure Draft’ was introduced in October 2013, the government has now introduced the Health and Safety Reform Bill into parliament.  The sales pitch is that this is the biggest health and safety reform in 20 years.  So what will it mean for you?
If you are a Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking
Various duties are imposed on “PCBU”s, that is, Persons Conducting a Business or Undertaking.  PCBUs can be natural persons, companies, partnerships or other entities, and can be for profit or not.   Specifically excluded are volunteer associations in which no-one is employed, and occupiers of a home in respect of residential work done to that home.  PCBUs are the primary duty-holders and are a much wider category than the current Act’s focus on employers.
PCBUs have a general and primary duty of care to ensure, (“so far as is reasonably practicable”), the health and safety of workers employed, engaged, influenced or directed by the PCBU, and the safety of any other persons who may be put at risk by work done by the PCBU.  (“Reasonably practicable”) is a slightly different test than (“all practicable steps”) – although duty holders still need to consider the risk, likelihood of it occurring, and ways of managing the hazard.  Having done that, the duty holder must then assess whether the costs associated, and whether they are (“grossly disproportionate”) to the risk.
There are also specific duties on PCBUs in respect of certain activities – managing or controlling a workplace, managing plant or fittings at a workplace, designing, manufacturing, importing or supplying, plant, substances or structures, and installing, constructing or commissioning plant, substances or structures.
If you are an Officer
One of the most widely publicised aspect of the Reform Bill is the extension of health and safety ‘due diligence’ obligations to “officers” of a PCBU.  “Officers” are widely defined as including:
  • Directors of a company, by whatever name called
  • Any partner in a partnership, and a general partner in a limited partnership
  • Any person occupying a position comparable to a director in a body corporate or an unincorporated body
  • Any other person who makes decisions that affect the whole or substantial part of the business of the PCBU (for example, the chief executive).
We note that the fourth category of decision-makers is likely to be the most controversial and challenging to interpret – how far down the management tree will the duties extend?  In the Bill, the words “participate in decisions” (which appeared in the Exposure Draft) have been removed, but there is still no real indication of how this definition will be interpreted.  Would it include a dominant shareholder that involves itself in decisions?  Will it be interpreted to include an HR Manager or a Health and Safety Manager?  These are issues the Australians are still wrestling with, under their (very similar) legislation.
We also note that there have been a few changes from the Exposure Draft – certain office holders (including a member of a governing body of a local authority and trustees of school boards) will still be deemed “officers” but will not be subject to prosecution.
Officers are required to exercise due diligence to ensure that the PCBU complies with any duty or obligation under the Bill.  Due diligence is defined to include, at least, acquiring and keeping up-to-date knowledge of work health and safety matters and ensuring the PCBU has, and implements, processes for complying with any duty or obligation the PCBU has under the Bill.
It will be no excuse for an Officer to say that he or she ‘had no knowledge’ of health and safety matters, or did not play an active role in the management of the company; all officers will be required to exercise due diligence.
If you are a Worker
Under the Bill, a “Worker” is defined as a person who carries out work in any capacity for a PCBU, including as an employee, contractor, subcontractor, apprentice, outworker, employee of a labour hire company, person on work experience, or volunteer.  Again this is a far wider category.  Workers will continue to have obligations to ensure their own safety, and the safety of those who may be impacted by their work.
Workers will also have greater protection from “adverse, coercive or misleading conduct” by a PCBU, (including dismissal, detrimental treatment or terminating a commercial arrangement) if the worker is acting under a provision of the Bill (e.g. if the worker refuses to do unsafe work, or is performing functions as a health and safety representative).  The Bill also provides (according to the government) more opportunities for worker participation in health and safety.  Workers can (as under the present Act) refuse to carry out unsafe work.
If you breach your obligations
The Bill provides a three tier system of offences, depending on the level of ‘culpability’ – as per the table below.  The penalties are increased significantly from the current legislation.
  Reckless conduct (where a duty-holder engages in conduct that exposes any individual to a risk of death or serious injury or illness, and is reckless as to that risk): Failing to comply with duties and exposing individual to risk of death or serious illness or injury: Failing to comply with any duty (including the due diligence requirements for Officers):
Individual but not a PCBU or Officer Up to $300,000 fine and/or up to 5 years’ imprisonment Up to $150,000 fine Up to $50,000 fine
Individual who is a PCBU or Officer Up to $600,000 fine and/or up to 5 years’ imprisonment Up to $300,000 fine Up to $100,000 fine
Body Corporate Up to $3m fine Up to $1.5m fine Up to $500,000 fine
It is expected that the Bill will be passed into law by the end of this year and be in force by midway through next.  However, we are of course in an election year, so there is always the possibility of attention being diverted.  As it currently stands, the Bill had its first reading on 13 March, where it was referred to Select Committee.  Any party wishing to make submissions on the Bill must do so by 11 April.  Following that, a report is due by 13 September.
In the meantime, if you would like further detail on the contents of the Bill, the process for making submissions, or the impact on you, please give us a call.

Arab Spring: The New Middle East in the Making (Essays) [Paperback]

Arab Spring: The Making of the New Middle East [Kindle Edition]

This is a collection of essays written about the Arab revolts, and trying to answer the questions many people are raising: why did such revolts occur? Were they preceded by precursory signs? What role played the domestic political elite in toppling the dictators? What role played the foreign powers? What were the claims of the protesters? Were they manipulated? How about the political process that followed the downfall of Ben Ali, Mubarak, Gaddafi, Ali Abdullah Saleh? What about the neighboring countries? How did the contagion occur? Is the revolt still expanding? Will it reach other countries? How about the monarchies? How about the reactions of Israel, Iran, Turkey, the USA and Europe? What about Syria and Lebanon? Why did the Islamists succeed in the first free elections organized in Tunisia and Egypt? Are the countries of the Arab spring going to be led by anti-liberal, anti-Western elite? Is it the beginning of the greatest change in the modern history of the Arab region? Are there new values of the Arab spring? Are they different from the values of the West? These are some of the questions the author tries to investigate and fathom through a systematic monitoring of the events preceding and following the Tunisian revolt in January 14, 2011.

New Bern edges Porter Ridge for 4-A title, 39-38

Posted December 1, 2012

Jac Watkins' 2-yard touchdown run with 26 seconds left gave New Bern a 39-38 victory over Indian Trail Porter Ridge on Friday night in the Class 4-A North Carolina High School Athletic Association championship game.

Watkins finished with 62 yards rushing and four touchdowns while Josh Taylor added 146 yards and a score to help New Bern (15-0) cap its unbeaten season.

Jerrick Robbins rushed for 174 yards and a touchdown and teammate Chris Duffy added 130 yards rushing and three scores for Porter Ridge (13-2).

Matt Wogan kicked a 26-yard field goal with 6:12 to play to put Porter Ridge up 38-33. Taylor and Watkins then led New Bern 80 yards in 15 plays, converting two third downs and a fourth down before Watkins' short game-winner in the final minute.

Zahair Cherry sealed it by intercepting Isaiah Hicklin's final pass at the Porter Ridge 42 in the closing seconds.

This am Kathy and I took off for a quick trip to Green Lakes. Like California we have experienced wild fire and lots of smoke but a cold front came in last night and blew the smoke away. Unlike the sierra the Cascades from Central Oregon up into Washington had an above average snow year. The morning was perfect for hiking--mid 50s all the way up and only up to 70 on the way down. We expected that we might see some snow and we did and we noticed an unusually thick carpet of lupine bordering the trail on the way up but some how we missed this until the return trip.

On return to town we had a late lunch at Bend's newest Brewery, Crux Fermentation then brought home a growler to enjoy some at home. A good day!

Hinckley RFC’S Under-7s emerged from the County Cup triumphant to lift the trophy and spark excited celebrations.

The venue for the competition was Syston RFC and Hinckley entered two teams - Hinckley 1 and Hinckley 2.

In the qualifiers Hinckley 1, which included Joel Rowntree, Rhys Powell, Jack Miller, Louis Gosling, Imogen Kilburn, Jack Dallinger and Noah Langham, beat Stoneygate 11-8 and drew with Leicester Forest 5-5, but went through on first try scored.

Hinckley 2 beat Vipers 8-2, Oadby Wigs 8-2 and Lutterworth 7-2 which meant they faced Hinckley 1 in the semi-finals.

There was some brilliant tagging and plenty of great tries from both teams, which made it a very enjoyable and exciting game to watch for all the family and friends who made the short journey to Syston.

Hinckley 2 came out on top with an 8-6 victory.

Hinckley 2 then faced local rivals Market Bosworth in the final. Sam Renault was given the captaincy and led out team which included Danny Holden, Riley Kew, Albert Barnes, Harrison McQueen, Jake Holden and Olly Parratt.

With determination to get their hands on the County Cup and facing a very physical encounter, it was a very close game with Hinckley eventually sealing a victory of 8-5.

There were many celebrations from the people who stayed to watch, including the boys from the Hinckley 1 team.

With smiles beaming from ear to ear they were awarded the County Cup by Leicester Tigers and England legend Graham Rowntree.

Eight highways in Gujarat to be upgraded at Rs 12,000-cr: PM

india Updated: Mar 07, 2017 21:38 IST

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday announced investment of Rs 12,000 crore in upgrading eight highways in Gujarat to National Highways as part of efforts to boost infrastructure development and job generation in the state.

“India is going to compete with the world,” the Prime Minister said, adding that the ambitious Sagarmala Project would see an investment of Rs 8 lakh crore and usher in port-led development in the country.

“Eight highways in Gujarat, totaling 1,200 km, will be converted into National Highways at an investment of Rs 12,000 crore,” he said.

He added that the pace of highways construction has risen 11 times to 22 km per day from 2 km/day during the previous regime.

Earlier, Modi unveiled a plaque to dedicate to the nation a four-lane cable-stayed (extradosed) bridge over river Narmada.

The 1.3 km cable-stayed bridge is the longest in the country and is expected to ease traffic on the Ahmedabad- Mumbai National Highway.

Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari said not only was the bridge constructed in record 34 months, it entailed only Rs 380 crore expenditure after a fresh tender in 2014 by the present government.

Gadkari said the Congress government had earlier approved the bridge in 2012 at a cost of Rs 475 crore.

The bridge will significantly reduce traveling time while improving the connectivity between Gujarat and Mumbai.

The project was constructed under engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) mode by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) across river Narmada with six lane approaches (6.7 km) on Ahmedabad-Mumbai section of NH-8 in Baruch.

This is the largest extradosed span (144 meters) in India and the first extradosed bridge in Gujarat, built by Larsen & Toubro at an estimated cost of Rs 379 crore.

As per officials, the bridge will have have state-of-the- art highway traffic management system (HTMS), variable message sign boards, median plantation, traffic aid post, RFID and smart card swapping enabled infrastructure at the toll plaza and theme lighting on the main bridge.

An extradosed bridge employs a structure which combines the main elements of both a pre-stressed box girder bridge and a cable-stayed bridge.

The 3 Secrets To Growing Your Business Year After Year

Your business can be simplified into 3 components. It doesn’t matter if you are a small local mom-and-pop shop, or a world-wide brand with an amazing reputation like Apple, Google, Amazon, Coca-Cola or McDonalds. Every business can focus on these three factors, and see a steady increase in business year after year, and generate high ROI, that can be measured, tweaked, and improved upon. When you think about all of the things you must do on a daily basis concerning the management of your business, it may be hard to comprehend that just three components go into the success and growth of your company. By understanding this core principal, and applying strategies to improve upon each area, you can expect to see double digit sales growth year after year. The three components are your product or service, traffic, and conversion.

Your Product Or Service

Of the three components, this is the most constant of the three, and the one that we are not as concerned with when it comes to Internet marketing. You found this website because you are looking for a company to market your product or your service online, and generate a leads through your website. Not to say your product or service cannot be improved upon, but we are not looking to help you design or launch a new product or a new service. We want to help market your existing one.

If you own a business, you either provide a product or you supply a service. If you provide a product, you are supplying someone with something they are willing to pay for. You may sell jewelry, grass seed, office furniture, or tools. When you think of companies that provide a product you probably think of companies like Target, Wal-Mart, or Home Depot. Sales are made when the product goes from the supplier to the consumer. New products can be created, and old products can be re-invented and re-marketed, but at the end of the day, you are a supplier of a tangible product.

If you provide a service, you are helping someone when they are in need. You may provide towing services, water-proofing, drunk driving defense, SEO services, automotive repair, plastic surgery, or emergency services of some kind. People are willing to pay for your services and your expertise in fixing their problem.

For simplification, you must understand you are a supplier of a service, or you supply a product.

Generating Website Traffic

Traffic is the lifeblood of any business. In order for people to purchase your product or service, they must know about your product or service. Businesses spend millions of dollars a year on marketing and advertising, all with the intent of making more people aware of the particular product or service. The more traffic you have to your brick and mortar business or your website, the more opportunities you have to increase your potential sales. The math is pretty simple when it comes to traffic. The more people that become aware of what you have to offer, the higher the chances people will buy what you have to offer. Increasing the traffic to your website, landing page, or store-front is going to give you a higher probability of making the sale.

Which would your prefer…..500 visitors per month interested in what you have to offer, or 5,000 of these same visitors? This should be a pretty simple answer. 5,000 visitors is going to give you many more opportunities to sell your product or service. Even if your website design is horrible, and you haven’t added a clear call to action, your odds of making a sale increase with each new visitor that lands on your website, or enters your place of business. Improve your odds of success by improving your traffic.

Converting Visitors to Clients

A conversion is turning a potential client, into a paying client. This can happen at a store front when a new customer walks in the door, and purchases your product or service. This conversion process also happens online when someone lands on your landing page or website, and goes from an interested prospect to a paying client. If the quality of your traffic increases, you improve your conversion rate, you will improve your bottom line and increase your revenue.

The same principal is true for conversion as traffic, increase your conversion rate, and increase your sales growth. A small improvement in your conversion will convert to higher revenue.
Increased Traffic + Improved Conversion Rate = An Explosion In Revenue

The beauty of mathematics is that numbers do not lie. 2 + 2 will always equal 4. The same is true for your traffic and conversion numbers. An increase in one of the two can increase sales, but an increase in both will change your business forever!

If you currently have 500 unique visitors to your website per month, and you make 5 sales per month, you have an online conversion rate of 1%. If you maintain the same conversion rate, and increase your traffic by 500 visitors, you can expect to make 10 sales per month. If you increase your visitors to 2,500 per month, you can expect to make 25 sales per month. Pretty nice improvement to your bottom line just by generating more traffic to your site.

The same holds true on your conversion rate. If you have those same 500 visitors per month, but increase your conversion rate to 3%, you can now expect 15 new clients per month. You didn’t have to increase your traffic by one visitor, yet your sales went from 5 to 15 by improving your conversion rate. What would happen with just a small increase to both your traffic and your conversion rate?

500 visitors to 1000 visitors + improvement in conversion rate from 1% to 3% equals 30 NEW CUSTOMERS PER MONTH!

By focusing on improving your traffic, and increasing your conversion rate stats, you will qualify more customers and explode your revenue month after month. Continue to increase traffic each month, while continuing to improve the conversions of your website, and you can easily see how the potential of doubling your sales over the next 6 months is very possible.

A Look back at the 1991 draft

By Evan Andriopoulos

The year was 1991 and the Rangers were entering the NHL Entry Draft. All the buzz was about Eric Lindros who went No. 1 to Quebec and we all know how that ended. The top 5 rounded out after Lindros as Pat Falloon, Scott Niedermayer, Scott LaChance of Bristol, CT and Aaron Ward to Winnipeg. The Rangers first pick in that years draft was a crafty Russian winger who would eventually win a cup with the team… Alexei Kovalev. Other interesting picks in that years 1st round were Peter Forsberg at no. 6, Martin LaPointe at no.10 to Detroit,Markus Naslund at 16 to Pittsburgh and Glen Murray to Boston at 18. Most of the years crop went to the NHL at one point or another, many are still in the league. Martin Rucinsky went to Edmonton at no. 20.

After Kovalev the Rangers grabbed the next Barry Beck in Darcy Werenka. Werenka never played a game in the NHL and is now playing in Germany. The Rangers 3rd pick was a defender by the name of Corey Machanic out of UVM (Vermont). Machanic managed a couple games with Peoria in the old IHL. No.4 was Swedish winger Fredic Jax of Leksand. Jax went on to play in the ECHL, AHL, and other and has been out of hockey for several years. No.5 was a defender out of Sudbury named Barry Young. He never saw a second icetime in even the lowest level minor league. No.6 was a checking forward out of UND (Notre Dame) named John Rushin who finished college and has been out of hockey ever since. No. 7 was a goalie named Corey Hirsch. Hirsch managed to see some time in New York and has been in and out of the NHL ever since. Hirsch was listed as the “future” back then. He was eventually traded at the deadline to Vancouver back in 1995. Vyacheslav Uvayev followed at no. 8, he played a bit in Italy and is not out of hockey. No. 9 was Jamie Ram, a professional minor leaguer who has spent time in Europe and on the Canadian National Travel Team. Ram is still playing in Europe. Center Vitali Chinakov was taken with the no. 10 pick. Chinakov never left Russia. Last but not least was Brian Wiseman out of Michigan. Wiseman managed three games with Toronto some years back and has been a solid AHL player ever since. He retired a season ago.

In sum, to think that any player that gets drafted has a legitimate shot to making it in the NHL is not realistic. The 1991 is good evidence of this.

Creating Space for Lawyers to Be Ethical: Driving Towards an Ethic of Transparency

Ostensibly there is little to connect the harried lawyer facing an ethical dilemma and the frazzled driver at an accident-prone intersection. The lawyer who miscalculates whether a former employer’s noncompete clause bars his client from selling a newly invented device does not appear to have much in common with the rush-hour driver at a major intersection. Nor does it appear at first glance that a second lawyer, who serves simultaneously as outside counsel to a corporation and personal counsel to its chief executive officer, c learn much from a driver who, for safety’s sake, has chosen to drive with her daytime running lights on. But if the first lawyer wants genuinely to be prepared to confront competency issues, or the second, her potential conflict of interest, they would both be advised to think like that driver at the intersection. They need to focus strategically on the circumstances of their situation. The lawyers especially might ask the kinds of questions that traffic engineers are increasingly trying to get drivers to ponder. Rather than roadway signs and ethical rules drivers and lawyers would be better served focusing some measure of attention on the structure of their environments.

Captured Light, Goldwyn nab 'GhettoPhysics'

Distributors plan Oct. release in 12 cities for provocative doc

TORONTO -- Captured Light and Samuel Goldwyn Films have picked up the William Arntz and E. Raymond Brown political documentary "GhettoPhysics: Will the Real Pimps and Hos Please Stand Up?" for an October release.

The twin distributors have scheduled theatrical dates in 12 cities, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta and Washington, D.C., for the provocative film.

"GhettoPhysics" features interviews with Dr. Cornel West, Ice-T, KRS-One, Too Short, John Perkins and Norman Lear on the interplay between pimps and prostitutes, and how that power dynamic explains wider political and corporate relationships in the U.S. and abroad.

Samuel Goldwyn and partner Roadside Attractions earlier struck gold with the hybrid documentary "What the Bleep Do We Know!?," directed by Arntz, Betsy Chasse and Mark Vicente, which did over $11 million in boxoffice.

Arntz's latest documentary has its genesis in fellow filmmaker E. Raymond Brown's novel "Will the Real Pimps and Hos Please Stand Up: Peeping the Multi-leveled Global Game."

Super Bowl: Canada's CTV Sells Out Advertising

Getty Images

The bad news? Canadians NFL fans still won't be able to watch the oft-hyped American commercials -- and it's not because they're too risque.

TORONTO – CTV has sold out its ad inventory for Super Bowl XLVIII on Feb. 2.

The Canadian broadcaster secured an average CA$168,000 ($150,500) for 30 seconds of commercial airtime, up 2 percent from last year, according to industry estimates.

STORY: Super Bowl: Queen Latifah to Sing 'America the Beautiful' During Pregame

That's a giant haul for CTV because the NFL championship game is among the most watched shows on Canadian TV, even if local viewers won't see glitzy American commercials, including Arnold Schwarzenegger playing ping pong for Bud Light, or the Full House reunion in the Dannon Oikos yogurt ad.

CTV will air the Fox feed of the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks game live on Sunday, including pregame festivities, but the network will swap out American ads and replace them with high-profile Canadian commercials from major local brands like Labatt Breweries, Ford of Canada, McDonald's and Nissan Canada.

"Due to simulcast, we air the Canadian commercials -- even if you want an American signal, you'll see Canadian advertisers," Perry MacDonald, vp conventional sales at CTV parent Bell Media, tells The Hollywood Reporter.

The absence of U.S. commercials is also due to multinational brands looking to target the Canadian market with a local campaign, or because an American commercial won't jibe with Canadian consumer tastes. "If it's a new product or new production launch unique to Canada, there's a lot of money behind it," MacDonald said.

STORY: Super Bowl: Jaguar Previews Ad Featuring Ben Kingsley, Tom Hiddleston, Mark Strong

Alternatively, the creative may differ for Canada because onscreen talent is only cleared to run stateside, or a brand is targeting a sales campaign or a price point for the U.S. only.

"Maybe there's cultural differences, or messaging, or differences in a promotion, or dates for a product launch that are unique to Canada," MacDonald said.

All of which is a bonus to CTV, as the Super Bowl last year drew an average 7.3 million viewers on CTV and RDS in Quebec.

Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey: Film Review

Ramona S. Diaz's documentary tells the rags-to-riches story of Arnel Pineda, plucked from obscurity to become the lead singer of Journey.

If YouTube wasn’t stuffed with homemade videos by aspiring rock stars already, it will surely overflow with them after the release of Don’t Stop Believin’: Everyman’s Journey. Ramona S. Diaz’s documentary recounts the unlikely rags-to-riches story of Arnel Pineda, a Filipino singer plucked from obscurity to become the lead singer of the mega-selling rock band Journey.

In 2007, the decades-old band was in the market for a new lead singer to replace Steve Augeri, who was suffering from vocal problems. It was a tough role to fill, especially considering their iconic longtime frontman Steve Perry, whose powerful voice can be heard on such hits as the one that gives the film its title (and took on a whole new life when it was famously featured in the final scene of The Sopranos).

Going through the process of scouring Journey tribute bands, founding guitarist Neal Schon was searching YouTube when he came upon a video from the Philippines featuring Arneda performing one of their songs in a small club, sounding uncannily like Perry. The band eventually tracked him down, and in true Cinderella fashion, the unknown singer -- whose past struggles included poverty and drug- and alcohol abuse -- suddenly was singing before thousands of fans in giant arenas.

In the process, Pineda became a hero in his native country and, not surprisingly, gave the band a vast new Filipino fan base. Not that his ascension came without problems: Some fans complained that his vocals were too copycat-like, while others conveyed more racist sentiments. The singer’s resulting insecurities, compounded by throat problems caused by frequent illness, bring some much-needed tension to the documentary.

Otherwise, it’s primarily a feel-good story, emphasized in such scenes as when returning hero Pineda is seen talking about his unlikely success to a class of adoring young schoolchildren. His ingratiating personality is displayed in numerous interviews, while his fellow band members provide gushing testimonials about his vocal prowess. Naturally, it culminates in footage from a sold-out concert in Manila during which Pineda belts out the titular song.

Although the overlong film skirts with hagiography, at times feeling more like a promotional DVD extra than an objective account, it nonetheless has an undeniable emotional pull thanks to its fairy tale-like narrative.

Teaching Guide

A guide to teaching the Holocaust

Prepare yourself to teach the Holocaust effectively

Zvi Civins, the Educational Director of the Jewish Holocaust Centre in Melbourne, quoted that in a recent survey 13% of British children thought “Auschwitz” was a beer!

The good news, according to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, is that:

“Most students demonstrate a high level of interest in studying this history precisely because the subject raises questions of fairness, justice, individual identity, peer pressure, conformity, indifference, and obedience—issues that adolescents confront in their daily lives. Students are also affected by and challenged to comprehend the magnitude of the Holocaust; they are particularly struck by the fact that so many people allowed this or any genocide to occur by failing either to resist or to protest.”

So why teach the Holocaust?

Teaching a topic such as the Holocaust is possibly the most rewarding teaching and learning that can take place in your class room. The very nature of the event lends itself to drawing a range of emotions from students, and can help them grow as citizens. However, in many cases the Holocaust is taught inappropriately, inaccurately, and without suitable provision for the age of students – who at times can be presented with disturbing material.

The key is – don’t be afraid to tackle the Holocaust as part your teaching programme! It is an important human story that informs both the past and the present. However, it is vital that as teaching professionals we are aware of the nature of the subject material, our own limitations, and the care that needs to be taken in teaching it effectively to young people.

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum website states that as a result of effective teaching of the Holocaust, students should come to realise that:

  • Democratic institutions and values are not automatically sustained, but need to be appreciated, nurtured, and protected;
  • Silence and indifference to the suffering of others, or to the infringement of civil rights in any society can—however unintentionally—perpetuate the problems; and
  • The Holocaust was not an accident in history—it occurred because individuals, organizations, and governments made choices that not only legalized discrimination but also allowed prejudice, hatred, and ultimately mass murder to occur.

As educators we need to teach the what before we embark on the why or how. In order for students of any level to make sense of the Holocaust, they need a solid grounding in facts and accurate history. The best way to do this is through the evidence – use a variety of artefacts and primary sources to clearly show the facts of what happened, and to emphasise the human story.

Zvi Civins also recommends starting with at least one lesson on the Jews: What are Jews? Why were the Jews oppressed, and who else was oppressed? How do the Jews fit into broader European history?

Civins also emphasises the importance of students understanding key terms: Genocide, Holocaust and Anti-Semitism. Students must have a solid grounding in these words before they can effectively engage with the history.

The Do’s and Don’ts of Holocaust teaching

Yad Vashem has an excellent website, and essential reading for understanding the do’s and don’ts of Holocaust teaching.

Their key ideas in summary are:

Emphasise the humanity

Try at all times to give a human face to all involved: perpetrators/victims/ bystanders/rescuers

Modern history

Emphasise that the Holocaust took place in modern times and in modern societies

Jewish Youth

Try and teach students about the 'youth' in the Holocaust: who were the Jewish youth? What are the similarities and differences between them, and the youth of today?

'Choiceless choices'

Present the idea of 'choiceless choices' – Holocaust victims had many moral dilemmas or choices, which were not really 'choices' at all

The process of History

Focus on the process of how the Holocaust unfolded – not just the results

The Holocaust had a special language, often seen through primary sources. Also take note of the “language” of the Final Solution

The return to life

The stories of survivors and the difficult transition to life after the Holocaust, especially in Israel

Perpetrators, Bystanders, Resisters, Rescuers - what separated them?

Resisters are seen to have a higher 'emotional intelligence'. What does this mean?

Teach safely

Teachers need to present the Holocaust in a safe, age-appropriate way.

Where to begin

The key to any good unit on the narrative of the Holocaust is to concentrate on its evolution, after putting all the groups involved into historical context (ie: 20th century European, and particularly German, history). During and at the end of the unit, the Holocaust lends itself to many appropriate assessment opportunities.

Zvi Civnis recommends a 4 stage sequence for teaching a narrative of the Holocaust:

  1. Identification
  2. Killings in the East
  3. Camps
  4. The Final Solution

This is just a broad outline – be aware that there can be a lot of overlap (eg, ghetto’s and camps existed simultaneously). Also, don’t forget that lots of people suffered – not just Jews. Be sure to avoid playing comparative suffering. Each story stands on its own.

The teaching ideas and unit plans in this website are based broadly on the philosophy and sequence offered above, starting with a solid foundation of historical context.

Further teaching guidelines

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum website and the Holocaust Task Force site have an excellent set of guidelines to be aware of before you start teaching – highly recommended reading. It is vital to have a firm idea of your own philosophy behind why you are teaching the Holocaust. A thoughtful reading of these guidelines can help:

USHMM Guidelines for Teaching about the Holocaust

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not as good as I expected The suction isn't nearly as good as I expected. I like the little handy bag that it comes in because it doesn't take up a lot of room as did my other car vacuum, it had a lot of additional suction pieces and it came in a rectangular zip up case that velcro to anything. It definitely suctioned better than this one. It's an ok product, it will do for now until I find something better.

2012 Door Trends

Last Updated Feb 21, 2012 · Written by

For decades a relatively overlooked aspect of interior design, in recent years, door manufacturers have come up with new and exciting concepts and improvements that have captured the public imagination. As word has gotten out, they have become the predominant door trends of 2012. Here's what to look for if you're looking for doors in 2012:

The Front Door

If your home is your castle, then your front door is your castle gate and speaks volumes about you. Homeowners have realised this and the current trend is away from painted flat panel doors to bespoke (custom designed) timber doors, French doors, manufactured doors with fine detailing, frosted glass inserts and glass side panels. Solid in appearance and construction, like a castle gate, they provide necessary security. At the same time, their fine detailing reflects your good taste.

In high fire danger areas, safety comes first. After so many devastating bush fires in recent years, fire doors have become one of the biggest 2012 door trends. Fortunately, manufacturers of fire doors take style into consideration, so when you replace your ordinary front door with a fire rated door, you don't have to sacrifice your sense of style.

Patio and Garden Doors

A big trend in 2012 is towards bringing the outdoors in. There's no better way to do this than by making the doors that lead out to your patio or deck as wide and open as possible. In the past, the only way to do this was with framed sliding glass doors. Today, frameless glass bifold doors and "stacker doors" (multi-panel doors) are all the rage and many homeowners who already have sliding glass doors are contacting door replacement services and having these 21st century improvements on an older Aussie favourite installed in their place.

With the growing awareness of the importance and value of having an energy efficient home, many homeowners are switching to double-glazed glass doors and windows, while others are contacting glass door and window tinting specialists to have heat and UV reflecting tinting installed on their existing sliding glass doors and panels.

Interior Doors

Once the most overlooked doors of all, interior doors are finally getting a makeover in 2012. Sliding doors. both pocket and external styles, are coming into vogue, with Japanese styles being particularly trendy. Hinged doors have two disadvantages for indoor use. For one thing, they waste valuable space. Secondly, they can be only be so wide. In a home office, it's nice to be able to open the entry door wide when you want to get a greater sense of spaciousness while working. This can most effectively accomplished with sliding doors.

Disney Won't Drive Down 'Path to 9/11'

14 Mar, 2008 By: John Latchem

According to a Hollywood Reporter account of a March 6 Disney shareholder's meeting, Disney executives may be holding back a DVD release of a controversial miniseries for political reasons.

The Path to 9/11 aired on the Disney-owned ABC network in 2006 to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks. The miniseries stars Harvey Keitel and Stephen Root and depicts efforts to combat terrorism following the 1993 bombing of New York City's World Trade Center.

But the program sparked controversy before it aired when Democrats claimed it was too critical of President Bill Clinton's administration, with some asking ABC not to air it. The network trimmed some scenes, but the uproar didn't subside.

According to THR's report, fund manager Tom Borelli asked why Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment had yet to release a DVD version to recoup some of the $40 million production cost. He accused Disney CEO Robert Iger of blocking the DVD release to protect the presidential campaign of New York Sen. Hillary Clinton. Borelli also claimed to have a letter indicating Disney was not interested in selling the DVD rights to another company.

Iger responded that the decision against a DVD release was based on business considerations, not politics.

However, speaking to the Los Angeles Times this past September, Path to 9/11screenwriter Cyrus Nowrasteh indicated he was told by an ABC executive that if Hillary weren't running for president, a DVD release wouldn't be a problem.

This wouldn't be Disney's first attempt to steer clear of politically sensitive topics. Disney backed out of supporting Michael Moore's 2004 film Fahrenheit 9/11, a criticism of the George W. Bush administration. Moore claimed Disney didn't want to offend lawmakers in Florida, home to numerous Disney theme parks. Jeb Bush, the president's brother, was governor of Florida at the time.

Despite that controversy, Borelli noted that Disney still pulled in a $46 million profit on Moore's film.

The Pets of Protection 1

Protection 1’s Employee Organizations Program provides our P1 family members with the opportunity to create groups/clubs with others that share common interests and hobbies. These groups and clubs contribute to a richer P1 culture and forge stronger bonds within our P1 family. Currently, Protection 1 has nine active employee organizations ranging from the P1 Art Society to Late Nighters’ Sports. One such organization is the Pets of P1, and it was started by yours truly.

Members of the Pets of P1 enjoy caring for and bragging about their pets with other animal lovers. It is the fifth organization started since the beginning of the program, and it continues to grow. The group has big plans for itself! A bulletin board was installed outside of my office to provide space for pet pictures and biographies. Each month, we will showcase one member’s pet(s) in particular. We also plan group volunteer outings at the Kansas Humane Society. It’s everything that a pet lover could ask for in an employee organization, and more!

In honor of May being National Pet Month, Protection 1 is hosting a Facebook photo contest for cute critters both inside and outside of the company. The photos have been uploaded to our May P1 Pet Fanatics Facebook album. To celebrate this year being our 25th anniversary, the 25 photos with the most “likes” will receive a P1 Pet Swag Bag! Check out the P1 Facebook page to join in on the pet fanatic fun.
