No matter where you are from, there is just something about September. I can remember as a little girl how excited I would be during this time. I would go with my parents to get "back to school" supplies and perhaps even a couple of new outfits to start the new school year on the right foot. It was always a time of excitement and, for me, feels much more like the "new year" than January 1st. As I have gotten older, I still feel that sense of excitement but also struggle at times with getting back into the groove of things. After a summer of slower work hours and weekends on the beach, I have found it hard to focus and do all that invariably needs to be done during the month.
This is my first September in Paris. Having moved here in October of 2017, it marks the completion of my first full year in this beautiful city that has presented its fair share of challenges. And, it is my first Rentree. Back in the States, this time of year is reserved almost exclusively for kids, students, and parents sending their kids back to school. I absolutely love that, here in France, there is a recognition that this time of year is a period of adjustment - or readjustment - for everyone. I have heard everyone from children to parents to professionals to businesses say to me and others "Bonne Rentree!," wishing a smooth easing back into the daily life.
With this in mind, I thought I would share some thoughts and tips for how to make this just that.
Celebrate the Month - and the Adjustment - as the French Do
As I mentioned, this is my first introduction to the term Rentree, what it means and what it entails. As I was researching what this time of year means to the French, scouring the internet in the wee hours of the morning, as I am wont to do when I can't sleep, I came upon the website of one of our own AWG members, Jennifer Hamerman. She wrote last year in her blog, Mama Loves Paris, all about this time of year and how to celebrate with the French. Whether this is your first Rentree or 6th (as in her case), make sure to check it out to help you understand a bit more about this time of year.
More than anyway, this is a great time of year to embrace the world around you, to understand it, and to feel like home. We noted some of these in our most recent newsletter, but a couple of events that will help you ease back into understanding the rhythm and life of Paris are:
Jazz a la Villette (August 30-September 9) - Need an unwind after work begins to hit you hard? This is a nice way to take in some of the best Jazz artists from all over the world (Paris does have a long history in the music after all) and get a refresh / shot of musical energy for the next day.
Paris Design Week (September 6-September 15) - Looking to add something fresh for the "new year" to your home or for inspiration for such? This is the perfect place to do it, known for identifying trends before they hit the mainstream market.
Les Journees des Patrimoine (September 15-September 16) - For one weekend a year, historically relevant sites all over the country open up their doors, including many that are not open otherwise to the public. This is an opportunity to begin to understand the history of the country, and its values, that you now call home.
Fete de la Gastronomie (September 21-September 23) - France's gastronomy is classed by UNESCO as an 'intangible cultural heritage of humanity' so it makes sense that this month includes a celebration of it.
Finding Your Pace Again
I don't know about you but no matter how healthy I am, how good my regime is, it somehow always falls off in August. I give myself the excuse to take a break, to sleep in, to lounge around. Well, that's all well and good until I get back home and realize that I may be a little more relaxed, but I am also a little less, well, fit both physically and emotionally to take on the day-to-day. I personally need exercise - it helps me to clear my head of any frustrations (be they from work or just trying to communicate with my neighbors) and gives me the energy to take on anything that may come. However, after a month (or more, whoops!), I find that every September, I have to sort of start again. I imagine I am not the only one in this position so here are some tips for getting back at it.

Treat your home-based business just like you would every other workspace and dress appropriately. This puts you from the right mindset being as productive as you possibly can.
Policy for periodic breaks when working from home, but don't allow yourself to become too preoccupied with what's occurring with your household.

Hey all!
We're currently in the process of changing how we store our feature requests internally.
There used to be an email to send those requests to specifically; that email is no longer being used. We'd love if you can send all of your requests to a Shopify staff member at firstname.lastname@example.com. While we make our changes, this makes sure that we definitely read your requests and are able to keep an open conversation happening. We want to understand why you're making the request and how it will help you to have a feature added.
Thanks for working with us, as always. :)
I'm in Australia - My request is to display the correct country currency when viewing your plans at your site, it should auto detect and convert.
When I got to the point where entering credit card details after selecting a $29 plan, I noticed the small text at bottom stating the $29 plan will be billed in US.
I still went ahead with the process as I think you have a great thing going here, just some feedback.
Have a fulfilment status OTHER than "UNFULFILLED" for orders that have been canceled, or refunded.
Right now there are only two fulfilment status and this is very wrong guys. There is more than fullfilled and unfullfilled.
Would be AMAZING!! to see these options for different types.
Guys, every single shopify store owner I know has an issue with this. Anyone else out there?
thank you and sorry for the (please) yelling :)
My issue with all this is that some of the most basic ecommerce features are requiring a sub-par third-party app. I'm not happy with any of the apps because they are not integrated enough. Ecommerce programs going back as far as 2001 had more features than Shopify. Come on Shopify. Quit sitting on the money you make from our monthly payments, transactions, shipping and apps. Put it to good use and develope inhouse.
Shopify will likely never add any of these basic features because they are in bed with the developers. I'm ok with paying for services but I'd rather pay Shopify more just to have everything built-in. Apps suck and will NEVER be better than something Shopify could develope into their system.
BigCommerce has more than shopify out of the box. The only thing Shopify has over BigCommerce are their templates, provided by other designers. What a shame.
Hi there - don't be afraid to consult with a certified Shopify Partner & Expert if you need anything custom done; app's are great but they often don't fulfill a specific need/requirement completely, or at all. With the API, liquid, etc. almost anything is possible (even more so within Shopify Plus :)

You guys can contact us via our Shopify Experts page. We build apps and stores with a focus on automation and collectivity. If your feature requests fit with the direction we're heading, this might be a win-win for you and us! You can also email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

About a month ago I ventured into the local Halloween store for some costume ideas, but just ended up pissed off. There are literally no packaged costume ideas for women that aren't sexualized. And what's strange is that they've made things like soldiers, prison escapees, or soccer referees sexy.
Costumes for women can do any of the following:
a) transform women into a sexualized non-human, like the bumblebee below (it's a bug – how is this sexy?). A classic example would be the Playboy bunny costume.
Just because you show cleavage or wear high-heels doesn't make it a cool costume. Human peacock, case in point.
b) sexualize women in stereotypically female careers like maids, nurses, and librarians.
These costumes are generally part of the service industry where women have to be submissive to their bosses or customers. Face it – French maids and naughty nurses are outdated. But an emerging costume is the female flight attendant.
What's sad is that female flight attendants in the fifties and sixties really were objectified like this.
Both men and women like these costumes because they both reinforce traditional gender roles of women as passive and submissive, while challenging them with a strong sex-positive angle.
c) show women "playing with gender" by dressing up in a stereotypically hypermasculine occupation.
Ok, naughty cop, naughty pilot – we've seen it. But these costumes portraying stereotypically male career paths are definitely getting creative.
This is undoubtedly the most popular choice because both men and women like women "playing" strong and domineering. Note the use of "play" as a woman that actually dressed as a normal police officer or prison escapee probably wouldn't be considered all that cool and definitely not sexy.
d) have women dressing up as little girls, dressing up as women. This is by far the scariest group of Halloween costumes.
Like the recent GQ cover with Glee, these costumes make dumb, weak, desperate, and infantile sexy.
and e) sexualizing non-white women – women who are made sexually submissive and hypersexual every other day of the year in American culture.
One positive? I couldn't find a sexy African tribeswoman. Thank god.
And oh, the sexualization of non-whites and gender essentialism in children's costumes – oy!
Here are a few fun feminist Halloween costumes in no particular order – stay safe and have fun!
1) "Sexy Nurse"
I read a comment on another blog by a woman who's an actual nurse planning to go out in scrubs and sneakers with a large name tag reading "Sexy Nurse"
2) Member of the Rockford Peaches
A great suggestion by Gender Focus: honor the history of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League by dressing up as one of the members of the 1943 Rockford Peaches, as profiled in the movie A League of Their Own.
3) Any feminist film/television character or American icon
Courtesy of Bitch: Veronica Mars, Carmen Sandiego, Thelma and Louisa, Ellen Ripley from Alien, Rosie the Riveter, Wonder Woman, and Peggy Hill
4) A Real Feminist!
Angela Davis, Dolores Huerta, a Guerilla Girl, Hillary Clinton, or my favorite
6) Pro-Choice Paraphernalia
7) A breast cancer marathon walker for the gold!

Religion News in Brief
An Ohio village's Christmas parade has been canceled amid concerns over possible lawsuits, expected protests and logistical problems.
Amelia Mayor Leroy Ellington said the Amelia Business Association that sponsored the parade for the past few years backed out and more problems emerged when the village council considered sponsoring the nearly 30-year-old parade. The village solicitor told council members Amelia could be sued for using public money for an event linked to celebrating the birth of Jesus, Ellington said.
When the village hoped to avoid problems over the constitutional issue of separation of church and state by changing the Christmas parade to a "holiday" parade, that drew angry responses.
"We received e-mails and letters from people who were upset at taking Christmas out of the name, but that wasn't why we canceled the parade," Ellington said. "The bottom line is that we don't have anywhere to start the parade or end it and no one applied for a permit. We could call it anything, but we still couldn't put it on unless we could get past the logistical hurdles."
Ellington said the parade in the village of about 3,500 would have included 75 floats, marching bands and other participants.
Some churches have said they would protest if Christmas was omitted from the name, and a local church withdrew permission to use its parking lot as a staging area, he said.
One of nation's largest Southern Baptist churches announces expansion
DALLAS (AP) – First Baptist in Dallas, one of the nation's largest Southern Baptist Convention congregations, will be growing into a more environmentally friendly campus.
First Baptist announced a $130 million expansion featuring a 3,000-seat worship center.
Evangelist Billy Graham joined First Baptist Dallas in 1953 during his initial crusade in the city. Graham in late 2008 announced he was switching to a church closer to his retirement home in Montreat, N.C.
The campus for the Dallas congregation of about 11,000 is planned adjacent to the city's updated arts district, host to the new $354 million AT&T Performing Arts Center.
"We want to create a spiritual oasis that the residents of Dallas can enjoy," said Pastor Robert Jeffress.
The heart of the campus will have a fountain plaza complete with green gathering places and an oval pool with a stone water tower topped with a cross.
The first building of what became First Baptist Church was purchased in 1872. The cornerstone of the current sanctuary was laid in 1891, according to the church's Web site.
The current historic sanctuary will be retained as a site for weddings, funerals and other special events, the church said in a statement.
Judge denies request for Del. bishop's appearance
WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) – The judge presiding over the bankruptcy case of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Wilmington denied a request from attorneys for alleged victims of priest sex abuse to order the bishop to appear at a meeting of creditors.
Attorneys for the alleged victims wanted the opportunity to question the Most Rev. W. Francis Malooly at a creditors meeting tentatively scheduled for Dec. 1.
"The goals of the debtor for transparency, for healing, for atoning, if you will, for what happened to these people requires that this person show up," James Stang, an attorney for abuse victims, said at a hearing this week.
The diocese filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last month after settlement negotiations failed with about a dozen alleged victims, including eight plaintiffs whose cases were scheduled for trial. More than 100 other alleged victims are pursuing compensation through dispute resolution instead of trials, creating a potential liability that the diocese said it could not afford, particularly given the demands by the plaintiffs in cases set for trial.
The diocese has designated its vicar general of administration, the Rev. Monsignor Thomas Cini, as the point man in the bankruptcy case.
"He, by far, has the most institutional knowledge of this diocese," diocese attorney Robert Brady said of Cini, who has served in the diocese since 1958 and has been vicar of administration since 1977.
Judge Christopher Sontchi agreed with the diocese that it made more sense to have Cini appear at the meeting, given that Malooly has been with the diocese for only about a year.
Evangelical march in Brazil draws 1.5 million
SAO PAULO (AP) – More than 1.5 million evangelical Christians joined Brazil's annual "March for Jesus, an event sponsored by a church whose leaders recently returned after being imprisoned in the U.S. for money smuggling.
Now in its 17th year, the march unites faithful from hundreds of evangelical churches and attracts dozens of Christian bands, preachers and local celebrities.
It is organized by the powerful Reborn in Christ Church, whose leaders said they expected 5 million people to gather around a central Sao Paulo plaza where the main stage was located.
Hundreds of thousands followed Estevam Hernandes Filho and his wife, Sonia Haddad Moraes Hernandes, along the 2.5-mile route of the march, and still more gathered at the plaza.
Police said more than 1.5 million people turned out by mid-afternoon.
The couple returned to Brazil in August after serving five months in prison, five months under house arrest in Florida and two months of probation for not declaring $56,000 in cash they were carrying on a flight from Sao Paulo to Miami. The money was hidden a child's backpack and a Bible case, among other bags.
Filho said the theme of this year's gathering – "March to Topple Giants" – refers to evangelicals' battle against "discrimination, misunderstanding and mainly the stereotypes" in Brazil.
Brazil is home to more Roman Catholics than any other country but has seen a steady increase in the number of evangelicals in recent decades.

It looks like Child's Play creator Don Mancini will be having no involvement with MGM's Chucky reboot, as he's not happy about it even happening.
Mancini wrote all seven films to date and directed the last three, but will have no involvement with the forthcoming reboot starring Aubrey Plaza and Brian Tyree Henry.

Speaking on the Post Mortem podcast, Mancini commented, "Obviously my feelings were hurt."
"You know, I had just done two movies…forgive me if I sound defensive, [they] were both at 83 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Even though they didn't get theatrical releases, they were well regarded. And I did create the character and nurture the franchise for three fucking decades."
If that weren't enough, Mancini's version of the series hasn't even ended yet. "It was hard not to feel like I was being patronized. They just wanted our approval, which I strenuously denied them," said Mancini.
When asked by the studio if he and David Kirschner wanted to be executive producers on the film, Mancini turned them down. ""We said, 'No thank you,' because we have our ongoing thriving business with Chucky… I hesitate to say too much about it because I don't want to sound like I'm belly-aching too much. But the producers of that movie are the producers of It."
"How would they feel if there was some legal loophole that allowed David Kirschner and I to swoop in and make our own 'It' movie with our own version of Pennywise and say, 'Hey guys, we would love to put your names on it?' I imagine they wouldn't like it."
"That's how I feel. The people who are making that movie, they don't know how that's going to affect my livelihood. It's not just a paycheck. It's very personal. MGM's screwing with that…potentially."
What we know about the reboot so far
It was revealed back in July that a Child's Play reboot was on the horizon, with It producers David Katzenberg and Seth Grahame-Smith producing the movie. Lars Klevberg directs the new film from a Tyler Burton Smith script.
Earlier this month, the film's Twitter account posted an up-close image of the movie's killer doll with what appears to be a kitchen knife. As if that wasn't unsettling enough, we then got an official poster showing a toy box set in the middle of what appears to be a factory surrounded by other boxes. The name Buddi is emblazoned across the bottom of the box. Instead of the original flick's "Good Guys" toy brand moniker.
A new website for the upcoming Child's Play remake touts a farcical preorder for a "Buddi" doll that appears quite ominous.
The name change alone suggests the doll itself would look different. The logo also includes a wi-fi signal, which lends back to the original plot reveal about a contemporary update. Child's Play hits theaters June 21, the same month that Toy Story 4 drops. So great ready for a lot of toys!

Thanksgiving --> giving thanks. Giving thanks to God throughout the year (especially this week) is oh so important. God places us in circumstances, some are difficult tests to teach us things, some are happy circumstances, and some are so scary that we see no point in the pain, we wonder why we are where we are. In the testing and the hard times we must remember to rely on God and praise him knowing he has a plan. We must be like Paul and Silas (read Acts 16) praising God when we have hit rock bottom. Paul and Silas were IN PRISON and were singing praise to God, thanking him for his blessings. We also have to be careful to remember to be thankful when life is good. Remember to praise God when you are at a high point, and know that you are not the reason for your success, God is. Praise him for his loving kindness and for giving you so many blessings! God is the giver of all things and he loves you! Be thankful no matter where you are, no matter what you have. God is working in your life. He loves YOU!!
"Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind, for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things." -Psalm 107 8-9
Dear God, Thank you for pouring your blessings out on me and my family. Thank you for providing for our every need and showing yourself to us in every circumstance. Thank you for being our almighty Father and friend. I praise you because you are perfect and lovely, you have no flaw. I praise you because you love ME. You have redeemed me and I am yours. I pray that during this thanksgiving season all of the glory, praise, and thanks in my heart would be for you. I pray that I would grow in you daily. Thank you for being there for me even when my eyes are not on you. I fail you constantly, yet here you are listening to my every request. Thank you for being so wonderful. In Jesus's holy and precious name, Amen.
"I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness; I will sing the praises of the name of the LORD Most High." -Psalm 7:17

I have a sneaky suspicion that, somewhere through my lineage, someone banged Frosty the Snowman and left me, at the end of the line, with predominantly pale skin. Tanning isn't easy for me, 'cos I either burn if I don't use sunblock, or I use sunblock and I get no colour at all. It's a lose-lose, really.
Trev, on the other hand, has his own burden to bear. The male members of his family have a, for lack of a euphemism, balding problem. Trev is 25 and losing the hair on his pip at a rate of knots. Not cool. Background over.
Simply put, we're going to pop pills, every day, to see who has more luck with the wonders of modern science in the pursuit to rectify his own specific handicap. Trev is taking 1x Bob Martin Condition tablet a day (for large breed dogs, he's a big unit) to hopefully work towards a naturally shiny and healthy coat. I'll be taking 4x Biogen Sunless Tan tablets to get that bronze continental look and hopefully work towards changing my name to Salvador the Spanish Lover with a penchant for performing the Pasodoble at the slightest opportunity.
Who wins? Mostly, the pill manufacturers. Who wins between Trev and I? The first one to get noticeable results, or the last one to either turn orange or have an uncontrollable urge to chase a frisbee.

The best investment returns are born in times of fear and uncertaintyMany of the fears about South Africa's economic woes appear to be priced in to the shares of businesses exposed to South African GDP (the so-called 'SA Inc.' shares). In fact, the valuation of the FTSE/JSE Mid Cap Index, based on its price-to-book ratio, is at historic lows last seen in 2002. We believe that this presents an attractive opportunity. ...

South African government bonds are out of favour and providing attractive yields The long end of the South African government bond curve is currently offering compelling real (after-inflation) yields, driven higher by elevated fears about emerging market assets. In fact, 20-year bonds are yielding over 10%. Expected returns on these instruments are favourable, but to test this thesis we also consider risks to our positive outlook. ...

'Deja Vu' is First-Class Fun
RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
Films produced by Hollywood kingpin Jerry Bruckheimer usually don't have French titles, but Déjà Vu breaks a lot of rules.
Los Angeles Times and MORNING EDITION film critic Kenneth Turan has this review.
KENNETH TURAN: Déjà vu was in the business of confounding expectations. It's not the routine potboiler starring Denzel Washington, the advertising indicates. Instead, it's a thriller that plays like the noir classic "Laura" would, if science fiction writer Philip K. Dick had a hand in the screenplay.
(Soundbite of movie, "Déjà vu")
Mr. DENZEL WASHINGTON (Actor): (as Doug Carlin): Don't answer it. I'll prove it to you. That's your friend Beth calling. Let the machine pick it up. She's gonna say, hi, Claire. It's Beth, are you there? I'm sorry to call you so early but when you didn't call me last night, I got worried.
Ms. DONNA W. SCOTT (Actress): (as Beth) Claire? Hi, it's Beth. Are you there? I'm sorry to call you so early but you said you were gonna call me when you got home and when you didn't I started to get worried.
Ms. PAULA PATTON (Actress) (as Claire): Beth, is this a joke?
TURAN: Déjà vu translates as already seen. It's a film viewers will be hard pressed to explain to themselves, let alone anyone else. But if the script doesn't make any sense, it does so in such a delirious and energetic way that it's' hard not to go along for the ride.
The key notion here has been a sci-fi staple for years. It's whether the past is truly past or whether past, present and future are in some way connected, via shortcuts through space in time called wormholes. These shortcuts enable people in the humble present to influence both the past and the future.
(Soundbite of movie, "Déjà vu")
Unidentified Woman: (Actress): Basically you're forming space in a higher dimension to create an instantaneous synch between two distant points.
Mr. WASHINGTON (as Doug Carlin): Instantaneous?
Unidentified Woman: Well, that's what we hope for. That's what we expected. We used huge amounts of energy to create this (unintelligible).
Mr. WASHINGTON (as Doug Carlin): All right. How huge.
Unidentified Man (Actor): You remember that little blackout we had a few years back?
Mr. WASHINGTON (as Doug Carlin): Yes I do.
Unidentified Man: New York blamed Canada, Canada blamed Michigan…
Mr. WASHINGTON (as Doug Carlin): Right. Half the Northeast. You're saying you guys…
Unidentified Man: Fifty million homes.
Mr. WASHINGTON (as Doug Carlin): Right.
Unidentified Man: My bad.
TURAN: When you've got a far-flung premise like that you need a star who grounds the film in everyday reality. Denzel Washington playing a government agent investigating a terrorist blast does that beautifully. An actor with charisma and intelligence to burn, Washington is someone who never wastes his time, never takes on projects that don't deserve to be made.
Also essential when you're making a film with a plot nobody should be thinking about too hard, is a strong director who can move things along at a break-neck clip. A director like Tony Scott. Scott is expert at filling the screen with so much forward motion that the questions you might otherwise ask get left in the dust.
Though he's made his share of fiascos, Scott and Washington form an especially potent combination. Witness 1995's "Crimson Tide" and 2004's "Man on Fire." What is interesting about "Déjà Vu" is not how little sense it makes but how little that matters. If you want your films to add up logically you're welcome to take your calculator somewhere else. But if you do, you'll be missing out on some first-class genre fun.

The Inquiry commences on Tuesday 9 February 2016 at Blackpool Football Club Hotel & Conference Centre, Bloomfield Road, Seasiders Way, Blackpool FY1 5JJ. It is expected to last for approximately 20 days.
The Inspector Wendy McKay LLB, Solicitor (non-practising) has been appointed by the Secretary of State to report to him with recommendations.
Yvonne Parker is the Programme Officer for the Inquiry and she is an impartial officer who works to the instructions of the Inspector. Her details are at the bottom of the page.
A Pre-Inquiry meeting was held at the Football Club on Thursday 19 November 2016. You can read the notes from that meeting here
Wednesday 17 February from 6.30pm to 9.30pm for the Roseacre Wood appeals; Thursday 25 February 2016 from 6.30pm to 9.30pm for the Preston New Road appeals and Tuesday 10 March from 11am to 5.30pm for all appeals.
Those who wish to speak at any of these sessions should give their name, address including postcode and the day/evening that they wish to speak by Wednesday 10 February 2016 . Using the following email address:
The Programme will be posted when it is available but can change frequently so please keep in touch with the Programme Officer to check on progress.

A written application for judicial review had been refused. But at a hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice in London Mrs Justice Lang gave permission for the legal challenge.
The judicial review was sought by Elizabeth Warner and the Roseacre Awareness Group. They argued that the decision-making process at Lancashire County Council's development control committee in June had been flawed. They said the committee had been misdirected at times by officers and that some advice in the officers' report had been erroneous.
Cuadrilla applied for the monitoring array as part of its plans to frack up to four wells at Roseacre Wood in the Fylde. The application to frack was refused and Cuadrilla is appealing against that refusal. A similar monitoring scheme at Preston New Road was turned down by councillors after they also refused permission for fracking at the site.
After the hearing, Mrs Warner said: "I'm delighted, obviously. There are clear grounds for a judicial review and they spoke for themselves."
"It shines a light into the whole process. This is a landmark moment. Far too much has been advanced too easily in the past. There are powerful alliances working together and some of the safeguards have been eroded."
"Clearly there was hope in some parts that this was done and dusted but the reality was never that. From the outset we were confident that the grounds would be successful."
"This is an important principle. It does show that given due process this juggernaut can be halted."
The judicial review is scheduled to last a day and both Mrs Warner and Lancashire County Council asked for the hearing to be in London because an early date was more likely.
Full report coming soon.

We're slightly over halfway in the 2016-17 season.
But unfortunately for most Sale fans, we're already dreaming of next season.
In the Premiership, Sale sit a disappointing 10th with only three wins in thirteen games. Whilst a drop-off from last season's impressive sixth-place finish was expected given the losses of club stalwarts Danny Cipriani, Tommy Taylor and Vadim Cobilas along with some, ahem, underwhelming recruitment that the club's summer ownership takeover came far too late to influence, to have endured such a miserable first 13/22th of the season and be firmly mired in a relegation battle means there is little domestic solace to be had. It is the Championship rather than the Champions Cup that currently looks a more feasible proposition for next season.
Speaking of European rugby, despite last weekend's 25-23 victory over Scarlets – Sale's first in the Champions Cup since October 2012 - the Sharks unsurprisingly finished dead last in Pool 3 behind continental heavyweights Saracens and Toulon as well as a plucky Scarlets team, again re-affirming that this is a team that requires serious investment before consistent top-six finishes and respectable European pool stage showings can be expected.
To compound matters further, Sale are also currently bottom of their Anglo-Welsh Cup pool; however all four sides in said pool (Ospreys, Exeter and Worcester the others) have all won one and lost one of their first two fixtures in the tournament and the Sharks are bottom by virtue of their lack of a four-try bonus-point in their solitary win. Also nobody cares about the Anglo-Welsh Cup anyway (unless Sale thrash Cardiff on Friday and go on to win their first piece of silverware since 2006).
However rather than conduct an autopsy on a season which by all means is already dead-in-the-water and in which simply remaining in the Premiership for next season and maybe signing Ben Spencer would be considered a magnanimous achievement, let's adopt a statistical outlook and take an objective view of the positives and negatives of Sale's season thus far. Given that, unlike the United Kingdom (yet), Sale are out of Europe and statistics aren't publicly available for the Anglo-Welsh Cup, all statistics listed are in relation to the Aviva Premiership.
Also, would you the reader please bear in mind that as I neither work for BT Sport or Premiership Rugby and cannot afford the £2000+ annual subscription cost to Opta Sports (although if you're looking for a justification to donate to The Shark Tank's Patreon page, there you go), the stats listed are what I have been able to find publicly and may not be as comprehensive as any of us would prefer. Instead most statistics come from the excellent ukrugbystats.co.uk and rugby.statbunker.com
Disciplinary Record
Disciple has been a major issue in Sale's performances this season with the team enduring a torrid run in recent weeks of being unable to see out a full eighty minutes with a full contingent of players.
It is not surprising therefore that Sale lead the Premiership in cards accumulated with nine yellow cards in thirteen fixtures thus far (no reds).
Sale's lacklustre discipline meanwhile is slightly worse at home than it is away with five yellow cards being awarded at the AJ Bell and four at opposition grounds.
The club also appear to be struggling to abide by the rules as the game progresses having been awarded six second-half yellow cards compared to three in the first forty.
Those who have been carded in the line of duty this season is as follows:
Halani Aulika x2
Jonathan Mills
Byron McGuigan
Johnny Leota
Neil Briggs
Josh Beaumont
Mike Philips
Rob Webber
Tries Scored / Conceded
Erstwhile, a comprehensive rundown of Sale's point scoring and conceding thus far this season is as follows:

Fifteen tries conceded in six games, an average of 2.5 tries per game
Nineteen tries in seven games, an average of 2.71 per game

If you're a fan of CHUCK then you know Yvonne Strahovski as Sarah Walker, super spy! In a recent episode (The CAT Squad) I loved her hair so much I wanted to share some screencaps with you guys. To achieve this particular Yvonne Strahovski hair I'd say you should use a straightening cream (to make everything smooth) in your hair, then use a small straightening iron to straighten hair and then curl ends under.The pictures will help you see how her hair is. The front should be turned towards your face, not under.
If you want to ask for a Yvonne Strahovski haircut you should ask your stylist for long layer with the front part angled towards your face. I think you also want some sort of razor cut at the ends towards the front. Your best bet is to print out some of these pictures and take them in to the hair salon with you. I heard stylists actually like when you bring in a picture for them to reference! (I used to think they'd be annoyed.)
And, here's some photos from InStyle!

Qatar Airways Upgrades Part Order To A321 Long Range
Qatar Airways has upgraded part of an order for Airbus A321neos to the longer range A321LR.
The 50-plane order for A321neos was made in 2017, when the airline upgraded a previous order for A320neos. The A321neo order was worth USD$6.35 billion at list prices.
Now Qatar has upgraded part of the order again to the longer range A321LR, which has a range of up to 4,000 nm (7,400 km), in contrast to the A321neo's 3,200 nm (5,900 km).
Qatar Airways group chief executive Akbar Al Baker said the airline had reassessed its fleet requirements, and the A321LR "will bring the additional capability and range to our existing portfolio of aircraft types that we require to successfully support our global route expansion."
The A321LR has structural reinforcements to allow a higher maximum take-off weight and the option of a third fuel tank in the cargo compartment for extra range. It can carry 206 passengers in a two-class layout, or up to 244 passengers in a single-class configuration.
Qatar Airways said it will use the A321LRs to connect its home base Doha with destinations where demand is not high enough for its wide body fleet or where current narrow bodies don't have sufficient range. They may also be used to add capacity on existing routes.
The A321neos are due for delivery from 2019, and the A321LRs from 2020.

North Park Univ of Chicago recruiting student athletes
Representatives from North Park University are on island this week scouting out student athletes who may want to attend their school. Leading the contingent is the university's head football coach, Mike Conway.
"We came here with the idea that we would try to provide some opportunity for the young people from the island to have a chance to go to a four year school," said Conway.
Conway explained that there are currently nine football players playing for North Park that are from the territory and five more non-football students, for a total of 14 kids from American Samoa attending the school.
"We want our kids to be happy, we want them to be successful and we want them to have a good experience — and if they are happy, we are happy," he said.
"We are a Christian University, we are very small, and so we have a good opportunity for kids to get a personalized education. We have good Christian values and I know that is important to the kids here on island. Faith, family and the future success of the young people on this island, is what is most important and it is the same thing with us," he said.
He stated that the school has embraced the Fa'a Samoa through the American Samoan students. A Polynesian Haka is even performed before football games led by the nine Samoan players.
Two of those Samoan football players who made the trip with the contingent are 2012 graduates of Tafuna High School Filoisamoa Langkilde and Epafara Moananu.
Langkilde stated that when he first spoke with Coach Conway about two years ago, he was really impressed. "Everything that he had to say about the school is what I was looking for and I believe it was God's plan that led me there," said Langkilde.
Langkilde had been attending Austin Peay State University (Division I AA) located in the state of Tennessee and after his first semester, transferred to North Park University. "So far, my experience there has been great. I really enjoy playing football there," said Langkilde.
Moananu who is also a transfer student, transferred from Savanah State University (Division I AA) located in Georgia, stating that he really enjoys the environment at North Park and likes the coaching staff. "I really enjoy being there. I have a chance to play with my best friend Filo again on the field. I know it was God's plan for both of us to be here together," he said.
Both Langkilde and Moananu said that they would like to give a shout out to all of their family members and friends here in American Samoa and would like to thank all of those who helped them learn the game of football —which in turn helped them get to where they are today.
Coach Conway also said, "Football is a game. It is not life or death. We are in the business of helping get these kids their education, helping them become stronger people of stronger character and that is a big deal with us. Football is a fun thing they are doing. We are building a program and we are doing it with the right kind of people and with the right kind of foundation in mind and our Samoan students and Samoan football players are a huge part of our foundation that we are building right now," he said.
North Park University is located in Chicago, Illinois and enrolls just over 3,000 students. They are a Division III school and their mascot is the Vikings. If there any high school students who would like to know more about North Park University they can visit their website at: www.northpark.edu for more information. The group that arrived this past Monday will be here throughout this week.
They are also working closely with the Department of Youth and Women's Affairs Sports Commissioner Ethan Lake, who is helping them contact some of the student athletes on island. You can also contact Lake at 770-1006 to speak with the North Park University team.

Now that you are equipped with the basic requirements.
Next, it's time to get serious and learn the many ways of how to make money on Instagram. 💸 💵
1. Sell products from your online store
Let's face it; getting a decent job today is very difficult. Furthermore, wages and salaries have stagnated which has made it harder even for millennials to meet the rising costs of items effectively. Thanks to the internet, users have thousand of opportunities which they can capitalize and earn a decent living. The best news is that all this can be done from the comfort of your home or parent's home.
Today, companies like Shopify and Zazzle have developed platforms that allow users to sell products to a global audience. These products can range from art to home décor and clothing. The problem is there are many suppliers who are currently selling in your specific niche. Not only does this result in stiff competition but you may end up spending more. The good news is that the returns can be great too.
To get started, visit either Zazzle, Etsy or Shopify. Register and create an account which will allows you to operate an online store. This should be followed by creating an Instagram account. To create the best, follow the steps as described in the Get Started section. Remember to build your account around your niche. Start featuring your products on your Instagram account to raise interest about them. This will prompt your followers to purchase the products earning you money.
2. Monetize your social influence via sponsored posts
A few decades ago, brands marketed their products through traditional media channels – TV, radio, newspapers, magazine, posters and pamphlets. When social media gained traction, they attracted brands from around the world. Why? Social media platforms are known to have millions and even billions of active users in a single day or month. This is prime real estate for brands selling products and services. To capitalize on this, social media platforms have come up with sponsored ads.
How does this work?
Basically a company approaches you with the intention of promoting a product – music, movie, electronic gadget or clothing. They can request you to compose a song or just take a photo of yourself using or handling the product. This will in turn be posted to your Instagram account for your followers to see. Relevant hashtags should accompany the post to make it easy to find and easy to share.
So, how do you attract brands? One of the best ways is through Influenz. This is a third party app that connects you to different brands. These brands use the service to look for influencers on Instagram to promote their products and services. To earn a decent living, don't promote just any brand. Not only should it be in your field of interest but the products and services should not be against the principles and standards of your followers.
Create an account on Influenz by selecting "I am an influencer" and provide correct details about yourself. Wait to be verified before engaging with the brands. One thing you need to note. To be successful, you need a minimum of 5,000 followers but you don't have to maintain such rookie numbers. Invest in attracting more followers in order to work with top brands.
3. Sell photos at stock images
Today, websites all over the world accompany their posts with photos related to their content. For bloggers, finding the opportunity to capture relevant photos is quite time consuming. Furthermore, the perfect location may not be available. Thanks to stock photos, website owners have been able to accompany their posts with illustrations. As a photographer, this is the perfect opportunity not only to make a mark in the world of photography but to earn legitimate income.
Stock photos hosting platforms are not new. They have been around for many years. Notable platforms include Shutterstock, Pexels, Flickr, iStockPhoto, Getty Images and Stocksy United. Today, there are new platforms that allow one to integrate their Instagram account with a third party service finally reaching more followers than ever. The best platforms to sell your Instagram photos include:
Foap is a community platform that allows users to sell their Instagram photos. To get started, download the official app from Google Play or Apple App Store. Follow the necessary steps to set up your account. Once you are done, upload your first photo and sell it on Foap Market. Each photo sold will net you 50% revenue. The good news is that you can sell the photo for unlimited number of times. To make more money, use the feature "Missions." This allows you to connect with the world's best brands enabling you to make more money and improve your reputation. If a brand selects you, your photos may earn more than $100.
Twenty20 is a crowd sourced stock photography marketplace that was founded by Matt Munson, Todd Emaus and Kevin Fremon in 2014. The platform allows you to create an account, buy or sell your photos. Since you are looking for a chance to make money, sign up for free on the platform. Upload your photos and start making money. Your photos will tell a brand's story in the real world.
4. Affiliate marketing with shoutouts
What are shoutouts?
This refers to a screenshot of another user's profile page which is uploaded to your Instagram account with the purpose of showing support as well as giving another user exposure. Shoutouts are designed to increase followers for another Instagram user as well as provide advertising to brands. To get started, you need to familiarize yourself with platforms that offer products for you to give a shoutout about. The best examples include:
a. OfferVault
b. ShareASale
c. Clickbank
d. Amazon Affiliate program (Our Personal Fav)
e. Ebates
f. Stylinity
You will have to open up an account with the above platforms in order to be an affiliate marketer. The good news is that the above platforms offer easy to sign up pages. Furthermore, they have dedicated support staff that is ready to help you set up everything. Once you done, visit your dashboard, choose your desired category and select a product(s) to promote.
To allow easier selection, the above platforms provide metric scores. This helps to indicate the performance of the product. For example, Clickbank uses the gravity score. The score allows you to learn how many affiliates have earned money with the product in the last 12 weeks.
If you have a huge following that numbers more than 1 million, then you can simply place your affiliate URL on your captions or bio. You can utilize bitly.com to shorten the URL allowing users to click easily finally making money for you when they buy the product.
If you lack the numbers to properly promote a product, you can buy shoutouts. This allows you to connect with Instagram users who are great influencers. You can connect with these influencers on Shoutcart, BuySell Shoutouts and Plug Hype.
These platforms provide you with a page that lists the best influencers. Details available include Instagram handle, number of followers and charges. To select the best, browse the list, select an influencer who has more followers and fits with your budget. And that is how you get paid to follow people on Instagram.
Important Tip to Note
While Instagram is a great social media platform, you need a tool that will enable you to manage your community. The tool should enable you to see who followed you recently and those users who have unfollowed you. You can even learn about inactive users plus discover commonly followed accounts. This is important because you can identify profiles you follow that don't follow you too.
Want to know the best tool for this job?
Iconosquare is the right choice. It provides you with an easy to use dashboard and metrics about your account. Thanks to the information provided, you can make better decisions to improve your following and make more money with your Instagram account.
Finally, By now your mind is teeming with information and you are probably anxious to begin immediately.
You have even started researching on how to make money on Instagram with Clickbank, how to make money on Instagram with Yahoo answers or how to make money on Instagram fitness among others. Just to recap the points highlighted earlier, to make money with Instagram, not only do you need an account but you need a good following – 5,000 and more. Or a powerful engagement rate of 20 or more per post.
Furthermore, you have to engage with your followers regularly, post content frequently and use high-quality illustrations.
Some of the best ways users can make money with Instagram include affiliate marketing through shoutouts, selling photos or graphics, working with sponsors for Instagram and selling products from your online store.
Did you know you can sell your Instagram account?
Well, while this may lock you out of making more money, you can still earn a decent amount especially if your account is very influential. Platforms that can assist you with this include Fame swap and Viral accounts among others.
To conclude, your success depends on how influential your personal and professional brand is. Always keep growing your followers to attract the best brands finally becoming one of the highest paid Instagram users.

CNN Expand News Coverage with Virtual Reality
The idea behind the app, which was created with L.A.-based interactive studio Magnopus, is to take the audience to the front lines of news stories through what it describes as a "robust interactive experience" comprised of breaking news video and original 360° stories.
The app positions users as "producers" of their own shows, putting them at the center of the experience. Following a tutorial voiced by CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer, you can choose "News" for the latest breaking video from CNN or "360" to experience original 360° videos from CNN journalists around the world.
The app launched on March 15 with more than 100 virtual reality stories from dozens of countries, all delivered in 4K resolution with VR encoding by Seattle startup Pixvana.
The CNNVR app also includes a CNN ticker scroll and social integration with CNN's Twitter accounts for breaking news alerts.
"Virtual reality can absolutely change the way people understand stories," said Jason Farkas, executive producer for CNNVR. "That's the point of journalism…Our goal with CNNVR is to actually transport someone to the center of the story."
"I've often felt I wish I could transport the viewer here," said Arwa Damon, senior international correspondent. "Virtual reality brings us that step closer to the experience…It creates a deeper understanding of the horror and the shock of war zones."

The five-year-old digital phenomenon known as Bitcoin has received a lot of attention. If you're unclear on what all the fuss is about, here's a brief introduction to what it is, how it works, and some of the potential pitfalls it presents.
Bitcoin isn't a company but a virtual currency supported by a peer-to-peer computer-based electronic cash system first outlined in 2009. Unlike printed currency or coins that are minted, Bitcoin is created by "mining"--using complex software to solve complicated mathematical computations. Solving a problem creates a so-called "block," and the computer that solved it is rewarded with a set number of digital bitcoins, each of which is a set of one public and one private cryptographic key. (The units are generally "bitcoins," while the general system is "Bitcoin.") The number of solutions that can be discovered globally per hour (and thus the number of "blocks" created and bitcoins mined) is limited by the system's software code. The total number of bitcoins available to be mined eventually is said to be limited to 21 million. Most users acquire them either by buying them with physical currencies such as dollars or accepting them as payment for goods and services.
Advocates argue that the advantages of the system are: (1) It's not controlled by any government's central bank, (2) a global virtual currency facilitates global commercial transactions, (3) every block and Bitcoin transaction is recorded, and (4) though transactions are recorded, the payer and payee are anonymous, much like a cash transaction. (However, that anonymity has attracted charges that its chief use so far has been for illegal activities such as money laundering; in October 2013, the FBI shut down the Silk Road Bitcoin exchange and seized its assets.)
Just as a physical wallet holds paper money and change, a digital wallet stores the private software keys that are bitcoins. It makes or receives payments by communicating with the network of other Bitcoin wallets. Some merchants and services, especially those that focus on online or international sales, are starting to explore Bitcoin transactions. Physical bitcoins, which have a software key embedded in them, have begun to be minted. However, acceptance of bitcoins as payment is entirely at a seller's discretion; there is no guarantee you'll be able to spend them where you want to or get the value you expect. Also, as outlined below, problems at some exchanges have sometimes impeded access to Bitcoin funds.
Bitcoin's usage as a currency is a ripple compared to the tidal waves of investment speculation it has fueled. "Investing" in bitcoins simply means acquiring them through one of the methods outlined above. However, to say that Bitcoin as an investment is volatile is an understatement. Over Bitcoin's five-year history, its value has fluctuated wildly as both speculation and confidence in it as a currency have ebbed and surged. In April 2013, after rising from $90 to $260 over two weeks, a bitcoin's value plummeted to $130 in just six hours;* since then, it has undergone multiple double-digit price swings.** Despite its lack of connection to any central bank, Bitcoin also has been vulnerable to actions by individual governments. After China cracked down on virtual currency transactions by financial institutions in 2013 and halted deposits of yuan at exchanges there, Bitcoin's worth in dollars was cut by more than half.**
That volatility has led to problems for people trying to make payments in bitcoins. It's hard to use a currency when you're not sure whether the amount in your virtual wallet is worth enough to buy a Range Rover or a tank of gas. Complicating the issue is the fact that the value can vary on different Bitcoin exchanges.
However, volatility is only one of the problems that have created havoc in the Bitcoin universe. The cybercurrency has been subject to cyberattacks that have halted trading briefly on several exchanges. At one point, one of the largest abruptly declared bankruptcy and announced that nearly half a billion dollars' worth of bitcoins held there had vanished. And federal seizure of the Silk Road exchange's assets created problems accessing those funds. Worse than not knowing how much your bitcoins will buy is not knowing whether they're available to buy anything at all.
So far, regulatory oversight of Bitcoin has been spotty. The currency is not backed by either a government or any physical asset such as gold. Major exchanges are located around the world, and the decentralized nature of the system makes it more challenging for governmental regulators to get a handle on it. If you're considering exploring virtual currency, either for transactions or as a speculative investment, you should become more familiar with it rather than simply relying on this discussion. And because of the issues outlined above, you should be prepared for dramatic price swings and only use money that you aren't relying on for something else.
The Internal Revenue Service has said it will treat Bitcoin holdings as property rather than as a currency for tax purposes. This means the sale or exchange of bitcoins that have gained in value since they were acquired could potentially trigger a tax liability. Also, payments made in bitcoins are subject to the same information reporting requirements as any other payments made in property.

When you finally sober up a little,
stumbling back to this perpetual table
called the world, you find that the banquet
has not abated — everything's still feeding on
everything else, and there seems to be no exemption.
Your hair is a halo of chaos reflecting your thoughts,
your breath as hard as turpentine from your last life's wine
that you kept swilling until you saw not one but two
and couldn't decide which one was you.
You had the right to remain silent,
to let delusion watch delusion,
but you simply could not
relax and shut up.
Now your face sports a stubble of chronology
barely masking the blotchy creases and tracks of tears
that document the slap-stick games of those twin jesters –
faith and despair, the ambivalent children of hope and fear.
All around the tables in this enormous hall
the hapless diners are trading curses and toasts,
though all you hear are the echoing sad refrains
of thwarted desires and dogmatic claims.
Recognizing that you're crazy
doesn't render you suddenly sane.
It merely means you're beginning to see
how deranged you became by pretending to be
what you never have been, and certainly never will be.
You crumple backward in a chair reserved for hungry ghosts,
though by now you've lost all interest in extended menus
that catalogue the lifeless litanies of inedible beliefs.
Today you're just parched for a cool flask of pure spirit water
to wash down the partially digested bits of fixation and stress,
all wry self-images resistant to the superficial mouthwash
of ersatz redemption and feigned forgiveness.
Indeed, all you really want right now
is for it all to please just go away.
As you stagger and swoon
through this dizzy fogged morning,
at the edge of your seat, at the edge of your life,
still groping for napkins to soak up your sweat,
pause for a moment and try to remember:
you aren't a victim, so blame nobody.
You accepted your own invitation —
this party's just for you!

Title II of the JOBS Act of 2012 is a game changer. For over 80 years it was illegal to advertise private placement securities offers. Think about it; a company was not allowed to promote the fact it wanted to raise capital from investors. How hard would it be to sell your house if you were curtailed with the same constraints? Banning "general solicitation" was done to "protect" investors. What you don't know can't hurt you – right?
Well Congress eventually got around to the realization that in today's world of instant communication and ubiquitous social media keeping some private placements secret really did not make too much sense. Now an offering company may still choose to keep things quiet if they want to – but allowing an issuer to promote a private investment offer is pretty big. Now, as long as you are an accredited investor, you may easily read about investment opportunities from just about anywhere from any number of investment crowdfunding portals.
As part of the one year anniversary SeedInvest – a successful investment crowdfunding platform– has put together some data showing what has occurred over the past year – since September 23rd, 2013. While the SEC stated earlier this year (March) that about 900 issuers representing $10 billion have leveraged the new exemption (506c), SeedInvest has provided information that hones in on companies or startups that are raising capital online.
Their info shows:
- $357 million in capital commitments
- 4,667 isuers
- Average raise per company: $384,000
- A 20% success rate
- 71.8% Equity; 20.3% Convertible Debt and 7.9% Debt
- Hottest category. Well Tech of course.

"No major security incidents happened this year at the Olympics. As a result, major security contractors will tout that result as proof that $1.5 billion was well-spent on security. What it really shows is how quickly $1.5 billion can be wasted on security. Now that the Olympics are over and everyone has gone home, the world will be no safer for spending all the money. That's a shame, because that $1.5 billion could have bought the world a lot of security if spent properly."

Discussion in 'Application Software' started by eagleeyez, Aug 20, 2018.
You need to login to view this posts content.
What do You need? Nothing not possible understand.
Taskbar doesn't need any kind of activation.
What is your problem - ask in a concise and clear way. Add a screenshot if possible;
What kind of help do You need? Also try write very briefly and clearly.
and that old program is not designed for modern versions of Windows as OP did not mention what version of Windows being used
pretty hard to follow what exactly he wants
The problem is simple, when you have a program that works in fullscreen or top most (and sometimes not even that) or in another case when the taskbar is shown because of a notification then it become capricious and stubborn (it will refuse to hide or unhide)...
I tried to explain the issue concisely but I know nowadays people tend to find more than 5 phrases annoying and not worth reading... I offered my partial solution otherwise with a guide on how to use it if anyone is wondering but I also explained why it's not a perfect one and it's now working in some cases...
What I need is find a better solution or maybe someone can come up with a new software that can solve this issue (taskbar autohide/topmost problem)
ok but you still did not tell us what version of Windows you are running when encountering the taskbar problem
use either msinfo32.exe or winver.exe to determine Windows version if you do not know
@kaljukass: did you understand what OP was saying now?
I said that it affects all windows version since 95... but to answer your question I am using Windows 10 insider preview RS5 and it's of course not solved yet and doesn't seem that there is any intent from MS to solve it.
