5 reasons you must have a responsive website
Did you know that use of mobile phones to access the web has gone up 700% since 2010, according to KPCB? The average user spends about 2.8 hours a day accessing the web through a mobile device, and it isn't all teens posting pictures on Instagram and Facebook. B2B users are using their lunch breaks and other down time to conduct business on their phones, and this includes browsing websites of companies they are considering contacting for one reason or another.
Just in case you're unsure of the definition: a responsive website is one that is designed so that no matter what device opens the site, it is scaled to the size of the device. There is no need to zoom in and out to read text or see the complete contents of a page. Even on a phone, everything has been designed to fit within the size of the screen.
So what does this all mean for those with a traditional, yet non-responsive website? In short, they are losing traffic, and ultimately, business. Here are a few compelling stats you should read.
On April 21, 2015 Google began expanding use of mobile-friendliness as a ranking signal. – Google
This means that websites with both mobile compatibility and mobile app connectivity will be awarded higher rankings in the massive search engine's results than those sites that do not. With most users using Google to find what they are looking for, including B2B users, even industry giants stand to lose precious search engine rankings if they do not adapt to this criteria.
And which mobile apps will be beneficial? It's no surprise that Google Chrome is the web browsing app of choice for the internet giant, although many mobile users can use their phone's built in browser, an IOS browser like Safari or Opera, or one they have modified for themselves. In short, a responsive website should work perfectly on all of these apps, not just one or two.
"Websites that rank highly in the search engine load quickly" – SEO Chat
It's no secret that everyone wants that coveted first slot in Google's search results for their priority keywords. However, there are many different factors that go into ranking which sites get top billing. One of the little known ways Google and other search engines choose the sites they present the user is how fast the sites load. For example, these sites were listed as the top site for their respective keyword and were all found to have quick page loading speeds:
- Books – Barnes and Noble
- Computers – Dell
- Stock Market – NASDAQ
- Website Development Services – Bit Wise Logic
- Solar Panels – Solar Home
"Almost 64% of B2B technology buyers reported that they read between two to five pieces of content on a site before making a purchase." – Ecolo Media
Similar to the above, prospective customers want to read about you before making a purchase or even contacting you. Without a proper responsive website, they may not be able to read what they want to read if they visit your site from a smart phone or even tablet. In short, there's not much point in investing time and/or money in creating quality content if you can't get it to all prospective buyers.
"53% of B2B users reported that thorough contact information was a must have" – KO Marketing
You may have all your contact info such as your address, phone number, and email all listed on your site, but did you know that's not enough? Contact information should also be responsive. What does that mean? In short, can users tap your phone number and automatically be connected? Can they tap on your email and open an email window with your email address already loaded? What about tapping a map and opening an interactive map that not only shows them where you're located, but gives directions on how to get there from where they are. These are becoming essentials for most mobile internet users. If it's difficult for them to reach you, you may lose them to the next company in the search results. In addition, do all of your contact forms work properly, load correctly, and only require the most basic information? This is also crucial to having a responsive, effective website.
"More Google searches take place on mobile devices than on computers in ten countries including the United States and Japan" – Google Inside AdWords
As confirmed above, B2B businesses looking to generate business nationally and abroad must be aware that users are more likely to search for products or services via their mobile device. This means that whether you generate website traffic organically or via a Pay Per Click campaign, whenever a user clicks on your link, it is probably from a mobile device. Getting a qualified prospect to your Home Page is just the beginning. Does your Home Page have compelling messaging that instantly tells a user what your company does? Does your site contain content that answers the questions of someone in any stage of the buying journey? Is your contact information easily found on every page? Think about how you use your phone or tablet for business. Which sites are easy to use and why? Which sites annoy you? Just think about your personal internet use on mobile devices and then hold your own website up to scrutiny. How does it score?

Want to know what a successful and responsive B2B site looks like? Visit this list by Tradeford to see which websites made the cut. Of course, Alibaba.com and ThomasNet.com have top billing, but there are tons of other sites here that got it right.
Don't wait – take charge now
In the end, this change can be both a crisis for established companies who are comfortable in their web presence, and a wonderful opportunity for upstarts who want to edge out a larger competitor. If you feel in over your head, it may be time to have a thorough evaluation of your current site, a comprehensive plan to improve or replace it so that it IS responsive, and an expert strategy to stay ahead of this trend rather than be crushed by it.

10 Top-Rated Carry-Ons from Amazon That Are Under $100
We read the reviews so you didn't have to. Here are the most affordable, compact and reliable carry-ons available on Amazon.
The COOLIFE Expandable
When you want to breeze through security and board your flight with ease, shop this clever carry-on from COOLIFE. In addition to spinner wheels and a telescoping handle, the modern trunk has a built-in TSA lock that prevents its contents from spilling out or being stolen. Reviewers report that the case can take quite a hit, too; after week-long trips, the bag usually only has a few small scuff marks that can be buffed right out with car wax.
Buy It: Amazon, $55.99 - $99.99
The American Tourister
If Plain-Jane suitcases aren't really your style, then we'd like you to meet the American Tourister. Available in seven eye-catching prints — including a chic white marble design and a purple pattern that exudes '90s nostalgia — this piece is about as close as you'll get to a custom carry-on. And, since the bag boasts a 1.5-inch expansion, you can pack pretty much your entire wardrobe. (No wonder why it has a 4.5-star rating.)
The Samsonite Winfield
Name a more sophisticated-looking suitcase. We'll wait. With over 3,000 reviews on Amazon, the Samsonite Winfield 2 Hardside Carry-On is far and away a fan favorite; folks adore the bag for both its devilishly good looks and its luxury features, including 360-degree spinner wheels, push-button handle, TSA-compliant combination lock and generously-sized main compartment. But take note: The carry-on's overall dimensions are a smidge greater than the maximum allowance, which means that you may have to check it if you're not flying with JetBlue or Southwest.
Buy It: Amazon, $89 (Originally $159)
The Women's Weekender Bag
Consider this the weekender bag you never knew you needed, and the one you won't be able to live without. Thanks to a special sleeve along the back, this carry-on slides over the handle of your suitcase and sits securely on top, so you finally don't have to strain your shoulder while walking to your gate. The bag is also available in a variety of colorful prints, which makes it a fashionable in-flight companion.
Buy It: Amazon, $34.99
The AmazonBasics Quilted Underseat
For those quick, blink-and-you'll-miss-it trips that don't justify the price (or hassle) of a checked bag, get yourself this quilted cutie. Though it seems a bit small at first glance, the bag actually boasts a spacious main compartment for clothes, two side pockets for shoes and a detachable mesh toiletries-organizer, which you can remove and hang up in your hotel room. For $56.50, we'd call this one a total steal.
The Hynes Eagle Backpack
Light packers and international travelers swear by the Hynes Eagle 38L Backpack — and we totally see why. In addition to being extremely compact, this bag has two side handles and padded shoulder straps that make it comfortable to carry. It also comes with a front organizer pocket, so you can access your passport and plane ticket at a moment's notice. Though you can purchase the backpack without the packing cubes, we have a feeling that you'll love those, too.
Buy It: Amazon, $54.99 and up
The Ultra-Chic Rockland
In our opinion, this champagne-colored carry-on is definitely cause for celebration. Though it looks like a splurge, the stylish hardside piece is incredibly affordable and comes with all the essentials: spinner wheels, a telescoping handle and a scratch-resistant shell. Even if you're not flying first class, you'll feel like an A-lister with this bubbly beauty by your side.
Buy It: Amazon, $42.68 and up
The AmazonBasics Hardside Spinner
Another budget-friendly bag that won't let you down? The AmazonBasics Hardside Spinner. Beloved by first-time flyers and flight attendants alike, this colorful carry-on earns top marks for its roomy central compartments, scratch-resistant exterior and spinner wheels that glide effortlessly from the parking lot all the way to your gate.
Buy It: Amazon, $49.99
The Kenneth Cole
The people have spoken, and they absolutely love the Kenneth Cole carry-on. With over 2,000 reviews, this silver stunner has a reputation for rolling smoothly through terminals, fitting neatly into overhead bins and magically expanding to accommodate much more than a week's worth of clothing. (Seriously, just take a look at the reviewers' packing lists.) Shop the case in a classic color like navy or black, or opt for something more daring, like teal, magenta or even kelly green.
Buy It: Amazon, $59.99
The Infantino Carrier
If you're traveling with precious cargo, you'll definitely want to shop this special infant-carrier for your next flight. The comfortable, 4-position piece includes adjustable head support, padded straps, a supportive waist belt and six pockets, so you can keep track of items like your phone and boarding pass while cuddling with your little one.
Buy It: Amazon, $49.49

regarding elevation gains, i found this pretty interesting, an interesting fact is that denali requires more than 3 vertical miles of climbing from the base.
all about huge elevations gains, and elevation gain rules and some examples of big gainers:
http://www.cohp.org/records/elevation/e ... lists.html
Mauna Kea in Hawaii is 13700 feet elevation gain, but then again, badwater to whitney is 14700 feet of elevation gain (net). The only difference is that some people hike to mauna kea in one day from the ocean base.
Cy and Zippetydude, we need to go to hawaii and do that!

The Ostrons are the inhabitants of the Cetus settlement near the Plains of Eidolon on Earth. They are a hardy, mercantile people that dwell in the shadow of the Orokin Tower of the Unum, which they harvest for their livelihood. Kept safe from Grineer aggression by the arcane powers of the Unum herself, Cetus serves as their central trading hub in the Origin System and a refuge for all others who come to it with peaceful intentions.
As a Syndicate, the Ostrons have their own Standing that can be exchanged for various rewards from the town's NPCs. Ostron Standing can be gained by performing various tasks for the Cetus villagers, such as completing Bounties and donating various items to them including fish and gems. The Ostrons are a neutral Syndicate, and gaining Standing with them will not affect a player's Standing with any other Syndicate.
One of the quickest and easiest ways of gaining Standing with the Ostrons: If you can get a Tranq Rifle you can use it to safely stun the various animals on the Plains allowing for easy capture. Often in groups of 2 or 3, a single very common stunned unharmed animal can give 400 to 500 standing which is worth multiple ordinary fish or gems, and the Tranq Rifle has a built-in scanner that will help you find animals from quite a sizeable distance away. The birds are worth 800 and some rarer animals can be worth over 1000 apiece, still frequently showing in groups that you can quickly tranquilize with one shot each.

Notable People in CetusEdit
KonzuEditKonzu is an elderly Ostron who offers Bounties to players, limited-time multi-part missions out in the Plains that players can accomplish to earn Standing and other rewards. Talking to him will allow players to upgrade their standing title to the next rank. He also starts the Saya's Vigil quest after you have completed at least one bounty.
HokEditHok is a blacksmith and vendor in Cetus whose trade centers around melee weapons. In particular, Hok's Anvil provides players with the ability to create Zaws, modular melee weapons that players can craft with different parts and stats as they desire. He also gilds Zaws and accepts them for standing.
His special daily offer consist of random premade Zaw sold for Platinum.
Players can also rename existing normal melee weapons in Hok's Anvil for a 15 fee, provided the weapon has reached rank 30.
Old Man SuumbaatEditOld Man Suumbaat sells mining equipment, gem cutting blueprints, metal alloys and allows you to trade in raw gems for standing.
His special daily offer consist of packs of cut gems for platinum.
Fisher Hai-LukEditFisher Hai-Luk is an Ostron fishmonger who sells various fishing equipment, bait, and packs of special fish parts for a bit of platinum, which change daily. She also allows you to trade in your catches for standing or to carve them up for bait and resources.
Master TeasonaiEditBeastmaster Teasonai sells conservation equipment for capturing wildlife on the Plains of Eidolon. He also trades caged wildlife to be used as orbiter decorations and companion cosmetics for Plains resources instead of Standing. His daily offers will always consist of three items, and the resources needed to purchase his offers change daily.
NakakEditThe young and enterprising Nakak sells scavenged Grineer flares that temporarily increase Affinity Range, and carved Warframe masks used as Operator cosmetics. As with Master Teasonai, she accepts Plains resources instead of Standing and the resources needed to purchase her items change daily, although her inventory mostly stays the same. Besides that, she provides some miscellaneous information about Cetus and the Plains.
The grieving widow of the Ostron Archivist Onkko, this woman is involved in the Saya's Vigil quest. Originally located to the west of the central Cetus market, after the events of the quest she will be found next to Konzu.
Quills RepresentativeEdit
- Main article: The Quills
If the player has completed both Saya's Vigil and The War Within, bringing their Operator to the north-east part of Cetus will allow them to access the Quills' hideout.
The representative of the enigmatic Quills is Onkko himself, under his full epithet Quill Onkko Primary. He provides the Operator with their first pre-built Amp, Mote Amp as well as offer modular components and arcanes for Amp. He also offer parts of Operator suits and their respective arcanes to further enhance the Operator. He trades in Sentient Cores and complete Amps for Quill standing.
All Offerings at once.
- The syndicate faction was originally named Cetus after their village in preview builds, before being changed on release to Ostron, the name of their people in Update 22.0.
- Occasionally, a Corpus cargo ship will land on the docks or leave them, in the shadow of the Orokin tower. Pre-release streams showed the presence of Corpus Crewmen in the markets, abiding by a cease-fire, but their presence seems to have been removed as of release.
- As of the release of Fortuna, there are now once again Corpus Crewmen hanging around Cetus, as well as some Solaris that have set up a stall.
- The blade that Hok can be seen wielding cannot actually be crafted by the player, because it is missing a required link component.
- The Ostrons are featured in WARFRAME: Ghouls comic series.
- After a Tenno reaches the rank of Trusted with the Ostrons, NPCs will adopt a much friendlier and revering manners towards the Tenno.

Leaders Manchester City secured their ninth consecutive Premier League win with a 3-1 triumph over Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium.
City went ahead on 19 minutes when Kevin De Bruyne beat Petr Cech with a low left-footed shot after a one-two with Fernandinho.
Sergio Aguero doubled the lead with an early second-half penalty, his eighth PL goal of the season, after Nacho Monreal had brought down Raheem Sterling.
Arsenal substitute Alexandre Lacazette pulled a goal back from Aaron Ramsey's pass but another replacement, Gabriel Jesus, confirmed the victory from close range after a pass from David Silva, the Spaniard's seventh assist of the season.
The win takes City on to 31 points. Arsenal slip to sixth.

I like to think of myself, in general, as a fairly humble person to others–I self-deprecate myself very regularly and am my own toughest critic. Believe me, I'm not perfect. After all these years at Cornell, though, there are a few insanely bizarre things that I'm proud of myself for…and I can't help but share 'em. So here goes:
1. I have not lost my Cornell ID for good yet…and am still using the one given to me my first day of orientation. I gotta say, I'm pretty darn proud of this one, as I know a few people that are on number 2 or 3. For all the usage that it's gotten–swiping me into dining halls and helping me pay for meals, being checked at exams, in addition to letting me gain access to a lot of places–I'm just shocked that this original one is still kicking around. (There was the time I was separated from it temporarily, though).
2. By graduation, I will have taken a class in 6 out of the 7 undergraduate colleges at Cornell (AAP, thanks for ruining my track record). Yep, that's right; I've enrolled in courses from the colleges of Arts and Sciences, Human Ecology, Industrial and Labor Relations, Engineering (if CS/INFO 1300 counts), Agriculture and Life Sciences, and Hotel Administration. I was this close to completing them all! Unfortunately, for the sake of grades, I think it's for the best that I didn't enroll in an AAP class…my art skills have gone downhill since I passed third grade. Though, I did sit near AAP Dean Kent Kleinman on a Campus to Campus bus once…does that count?
3. I'm excellent at snagging seats in StudentCenter. During the pre-enrollment and add/drop periods, there's always stress amongst students as many classes become full–and you see the dreaded blue square, meaning you can't enroll in the course due to capacity. In very large classes, though, the second that 1 kid drops the class and the green circle appears, you're good to enroll (unless someone else snatches it before you). Here's a pro-tip: if you're really desperate to get into a class, check StudentCenter during odd hours–like a Sunday night at 11pm.
4. I'm this close to getting rewarded at Manndibles, CTB, and Hot Truck (and was really close at Yogurt Crazy, too). Lots of eateries around here have those cards where, if you get x amount of stamps/punches, you get a free coffee/sandwich/etc. While I've definitely redeemed a card at Hot Truck, the 2nd closest I've gotten was at Yogurt Crazy…which now has conveniently gone out of business.
5. If my I-Clicker track record means anything, I'd be a helluva game show contestant. I seem to have a knack for answering I-Clicker questions correctly. (These are the little 5 button devices that some professors use to have you answer multiple choice questions in class, shown at right.) I can't really explain why, though…
6. I proudly took an 8:00am intermediate French class that met 3 days a week freshman year. Hours before half of my hall was awake, I was on the Arts quad speaking French. Truth be told, though, I honestly don't mind early morning classes–you get a great feeling of productivity early on in the day (and that's why I'm not ashamed to admit that, even as a second semester senior, I still have an 8:40 on Tuesdays and Thursdays).
Are these all things to genuinely be proud of? Eh, I'll leave it up to you. While they may not be suitable accomplishments for my resume or LinkedIn profile, and this blog post is kind of written in jest, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at least a little proud of 'em.

THE OTHERWISE estimable Michael Gove's infamous dismissal of the views of 'experts' during the Brexit referendum was indicative of a mind-set of too many in the political sphere. Thus we have a policy which is driven by political considerations, and populist short-termism, rather than being based on evidence, science, and expertise.
Nowhere is this failure more evident than in the area of energy policy, according to this new book: Is Renewable Energy Affordable? In a little over 100 pages, Derek George Birkett sets out the basis for our energy systems, both in terms of generation and transmission, and calls for a new approach to ensure the delivery of affordable, reliable power to the consumers.
Mr Birkett writes with a lifetime of experience working in the energy sector – not in the area of policy, or as a lobbyist, but as an engineer. He is a retired grid system controller who has worked both under nationalisation and private ownership, having previously been employed on both coal and hydro power stations. He also had project responsibility on installation and commissioning at five major coal and nuclear power stations across the UK from which chartered status was awarded. Clearly, this is someone who writes as an 'expert'.
It is this background and expertise which informs the conclusions in this book, which is intended as helpful reading for the layman without detailed background knowledge of energy systems.
Mr Birkett analyses the overall costs of different methods of energy production – coal, gas, nuclear, hydro and wind. He criticises the prevalent approach towards assessing the relative costs of different technologies, pointing out that: "What needs to be considered are the costs involved when accommodating each technology onto the electricity network".
So intermittent (and unpredictable) sources of power, such as wind, require to be backed up with another source, and the cost of providing this alternative has to be factored in. This effective dual provision drives up the overall cost. It is, he writes, no accident that Germany and Denmark, whilst having the highest level of renewable penetration in Europe, also have the highest electricity tariffs.
The development of dispersed sources of electricity production also require substantial investment in infrastructure in electricity transmission. The writer states that there is an estimated £9 billion charge for transmission investment up to 2020, where almost three-quarters of the sum is to allow renewable power from Scotland to be transmitted south. These additional transmission and infrastructure costs have to be added when considering the overall burden of various technologies.
With his background in energy generation from both fossil fuels and renewables (particularly hydro), the author sees a continuing role for the former. He deplores the retiral of existing coal burning capacity for electricity generation, when we have plentiful and cheap supplies of this fuel source. Of necessity, this would require repeal of climate change legislation, but Mr Birkett is clearly sceptical of its benefits. He also points out the economic opportunity in building power systems not focused on meeting climate charge targets.
The author answers his own question posed in the title of this book: in his view renewable energy is not affordable, it drives up fuel costs and increases fuel poverty, it hampers our economy, and it puts at risk energy security.
There are many in the world of politics today, and energy policy, who will disagree with his conclusions, but this is an informative, well-researched book based on the author's expertise and extensive personal experience. He writes as an expert, and his opinions deserve a serious response.

HUMBOLDT – Disaster relief money to compensate fishermen for the severely delayed 2015 to 2016 Dungeness crab season will finally be delivered to the North Coast on June 1.
The majority of $25 million in crab disaster relief funding will be used for payments to participants in the state's Dungeness crab fishery. Most of the amount will be split between fishermen and buyers and processors, with commercial passenger vessel operators getting a small share.
Payouts to fishermen from a $14.1 million share of relief money will be scaled according to the size of each crabbing permit. Permits are tiered according to numbers of crab traps. There are seven tiers and permit holders at the highest level of 500 traps will get relief payments of $42,680 per permit while those at the lowest permit level of 175 traps or less will be paid about $15,000.
The long-awaited relief is coming as the Dungeness fishery bears another impact – this year's season closed on April 15, three months early, in accordance with the state's lawsuit settlement to protect whales from entanglements in crab gear.
"Any payment is much appreciated right now, especially since our season has been cut short abruptly," said Harrison Ibach, the president of the Humboldt Fishermen's Marketing Association. "Everything helps – for some, it might not nearly be enough and for others it'll help immensely."
Fishermen "that truly rely on the spring Dungeness crab fishery for survival "are struggling the most, he continued. "They have built their business plan around it, so those guys who fish all the way to the end are really going to get hit hard with this abrupt closure."
The disaster was caused by algae blooms and the related presence of the domoic acid toxin. Crabs didn't test clear of it until several months after the season's scheduled start.
Eligibility standards for the relief are based on permit ownership and having had crab landings in any of the three season preceding the disaster or the two seasons following it.
There are about 550 Dungeness crab permit holders in the state and Christy Juhasz, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife's Dungeness specialist, said that most of them will be eligible for relief payments.
She said relief funding will help but "in no way is supposed to make anyone whole."
The disaster season's delay eliminated peak market opportunity. "The main concern was that people lost this fishing opportunity during the scheduled time of the year that usually goes into the holiday markets," Juhasz said.
An allowance for permit holders who decided not to participate in the season accounts for that. "I heard one fishermen say that he had participated in the fishery for over 40 years and then had to take a job elsewhere to finally make ends meet, based on the length of the delay," Juhasz said.
Relief funding also includes $2.6 million for research on domoic acid, much of it for reducing future impacts and improving the state Department of Public Health's ability to process crab samples for the toxin.
About $4 million in additional disaster relief is for the 2015 Yurok tribal salmon fishery, which was seriously impacted by water flow issues and parasitic disease.
Salmon abundance is improving now, however. The North Coast's upcoming commercial Chinook salmon season offers more fishing time, particularly in the crucial summer months which were partially or fully closed in the recent past.
Ibach said that together with the relief payments, the favorable salmon season will give area fishermen a chance to rebound.
"The opportunity is going to help," he said. "The fact that there's a very long season and a lot of opportunity for fishermen helps immensely."
He added that there will be "a very large effort shift into the salmon fishery because of the crab closure" and participation will include "a lot of fishermen who have not fished for salmon in a very long time – or have never fished for salmon – that are going to go salmon fishing this year."

Confession: I suffer from pretty severe Monday-itis, WebMD told me so. If it were up to me, no one would have to talk on Mondays. We would just walk around giving each other coffee and cuddles, because waking up is really hard sometimes.
A few weeks ago we had our women's conference She Rises, which is held in the iconic Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. It was a weekend of doing all of things I love with all of the people I love, so somehow sleep felt optional. It was one of those I-can't-believe-I-get-to-do-this weekends.
But then it was Monday, and the weekend hid behind my instinct to throw my alarm clock out the window and hand in my adult-card. I stumbled out to the kitchen like a baby learning to walk, sat on my kitchen bench, and waited for my Keurig to give me life. While waiting, I scrolled through Instagram and was met with this quote:
"If you were doing what you loved, you'd never have a tough Monday."
Thanks Becky.
I want to use my non-existent karate skills on the person who posted it, but since my coffee was ready I decided to give a passive-aggressive double tap.
After rereading this post for way too long, I found myself obsessing over someone else's opinion. I started to think that feeling worn out on Monday meant I wasn't cut out for being a pastor.
Ever had an unexpected moment of weakness right after a huge win? Ever dealt with unexplainable defeat right after a dream? Ever felt exhausted when you were meant to feel excited?
We all know what it's like feel vulnerable right after a victory. It takes us by surprise and leaves us wondering if we have what it takes to fight the next battle. Trust me, you are not alone.
A few after I read that quote and questioned my calling, I read a story in the bible about Elijah on (probably) a Monday. It's found in 1 Kings 19.
Elijah had an amazing conference weekend. He called down fire from heaven (conference opener) to show that God was boss, which lead into the best altar call ever, and then he killed the false prophets (this isn't recommended for your conference). After that he called down rain from Heaven to end a drought, and then supernaturally ran ahead of it so he didn't get his boots ruined, that's my version anyway. That's a pretty successful weekend! So it's no wonder he woke up the next day (perhaps a Monday), absolutely exhausted. He was so tired that when the king's wife Jezebel sent him a death threat because he killed the false prophets, he ran for his life.
Elijah had one of the greatest moments in ministry, but then ran from an empty threat because his fatigue filtered his faith. Exhaustion causes us to view the empty threats of life as suddenly life threatening. And I know how that feels.
Perhaps the day after the battle is more important than the battle itself.
Perhaps a decision not to rest after this battle is a decision not to be effective in the next.
Here are four simple ways to rest and refuel in moments of "Monday."
1. Get full.
The angel made Elijah eat and drink until he was full because our body needs to be fed to function. Often when I am in conference/mom/wife/ministry mode, I forget to eat well. Sometimes emotions are just because we're hangry (hungry + angry)!
2. Get down – sleep
When a toddler is having a meltdown it's usually a sign they need to go night-night. Sometimes, I am that toddler. I am sad because I'm stuck in traffic, and overwhelmed because my hair is oily, and irrationally angry over an imaginary conversation I had in my head with my husband. And actually? I probably just need to shut down and go night-night.
The angel let Elijah rest. There comes a time when we have to shut down the devices and actually shut our eyes.
3. Get up – walk
Once he had regained some strength, Elijah went for a walk. I bet he didn't feel like walking, but he did. Disclaimer: Elijah walked for forty days. Unless you are Forrest Gump, don't do that. But why not take some time to go on a hike, take a yoga class, or try that dance class you keep driving past?
Exercise has saved my butt (pun intended) on many occasions. It's helped me manage my emotions and stress better than anything else. The endorphins that release when we raise our heart rate do things that sleep alone will not.
4. Get away – Have some quiet time with Him.
The pinnacle of Elijah's return to strength was an unforgettable experience with God. It's amazing how quickly we can wander away from where God wants us when we are tired. God doesn't get mad, He simply asks:
1 Kings 19:9:
"The Lord asked, "why are you here?"
And in that question, with His kindness, He will always take our brokenness and bind it up with His bold grace. Just like he did for Elijah (1 Kings 19:9-13).
So if you find yourself having a moment of vulnerability, even if it's not Monday, you are not alone. Schedule some rest into your routine this week. And when you do, linger a little longer. Find Him in the whisper and you'll find the strength you need to get back in the game. Happy Monday.

Elyse, as I began this article in a coffee shop, surrounded by strangers, I actually let out several laughs. By the last few lines, my eyes welled up with tears. I know that writing these pieces is an additional responsibility to the many things on your plate. So, from the bottom of my heart, "Thank you." I look forward to this email every Saturday and many times, you have helped lead me to the place God wants me. And you do it with humor, conviction and transparency-- gracias.

Such truths here!
I'm passing this one on!
Thanks for this!
Be Blessed! (especially if it's Monday) ;)
Shawn Reeves July 16, 2017 at 1:00am
I can't tell you how much that spoke to me. I love my job and yet, it is after those long weekends of showing homes and then serving on Sundays that almost do me in. Mondays often come too soon for me. I'm glad I am not alone. Thank you for the encouraging words and simple steps.

Effects of passive ankle dorsiflexion stiffness on ankle mechanics during drop landings
Publication Details
Whitting, J. W., Steele, J. R., McGhee, D. E. & Munro, B. J. (2012). Effects of passive ankle dorsiflexion stiffness on ankle mechanics during drop landings. Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport, 15 (5), 468-473.
Objectives: Vertical landing tasks strain the Achilles tendon and plantar-flexors, increasing acute and overuse strain injury risk. This study aimed to determine how passive ankle dorsiflexion stiffness affected ankle mechanics during single limb drop landings at different vertical descent velocities. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Passive ankle dorsiflexion stiffness and passive weight-bearing dorsiflexion range of motion (DROM) were quantified for 42 men. Participants were then grouped as having low (LPS: 0.94 ± 0.15 Nmo−1; n = 16) or high (HPS: 2.05 ± 0.36 Nm◦−1; n = 16; p < 0.001) passive ankle dorsiflexion stiffness. Three-dimensional ankle joint kinematics was quantified while participants performed drop landings onto a force platform at two vertical descent velocities (slow: 2.25 ± 0.16 m s−1; fast: 3.21 ± 0.17 m s−1). Results: Although affected by landing velocity, there were no significant effects of passive ankle dorsiflexion stiffness, nor any significant ankle dorsiflexion stiffness × vertical descent velocity interactions on any outcome variables characterising ankle mechanics during drop landings. Furthermore, there was no significant difference between the groups for passive weight-bearing DROM (LPS: 43.9 ± 4.1o; HPS: 42.5 ± 5.7o), indicating that the results were not confounded by between-group differences in ankle range of motion. Conclusions: Neither high nor low passive ankle dorsiflexion stiffness was found to influence ankle biomechanics during drop landings at different descent velocities. Landing strategies were moderated more by the demands of the task than by passive ankle dorsiflexion stiffness, indicating that passive ankle dorsiflexion stiffness may not affect plantar-flexor strain during a drop landing.

Customer Reviews
I have about 12 pairs & cant live without them
These are very comfortable- I can see these being a favorite travel pant!
I received the Sonia pants and they are just what I wanted. I washed them, because I needed to have them shortened. They washed very well. I am looking forward to wearing these pants as soon as we begin to travel again
I traveled to 15 countries in 2019, lugging way too much luggage and clothes, and I have been obsessing about Anatomie for months. But with the pandemic and not working, I wanted to be financially responsible ... I finally took the plunge. The Sonia Curvy High Rise pants are exactly what I wanted. I am long on the torso, so I need the high waisted. I wanted white, and the Sonia pants have no front pockets (and therefore no see through of the pocket enclosure). I'm only slightly curvy (30" waist and 41" hips) and the M fit perfectly, plus they stretch! I'm 5'6 and getting a few inches cut off of mine, so they are plenty long for tall girls. I also purchased the Melissa top, Merika windbreaker and the Marine wrap dress. All pieces are extremely high quality, fit exactly as described and look exactly as pictured. I live in LA so I have access to buying almost anything clothing locally, but I choose Anatomie ❤
I have not recieved them....
My measurements suggested a medium, but they pulled across the hips in an unflattering way (even with the amazing stretch in these pants). The large was too big, so back they went. I'm bummed, because these were otherwise great-looking pants! I couldn't believe how lightweight they were and (despite the weird pulling) super comfortable. I'm trying a couple of different styles to see if that solves the problem ... here's hoping! PS: customer service is AMAZING at Anatomie. They've re-established the bar, and set it high.
These pants did not fit well at all so I returned the entire order and still have not received a refund
Like the way they fit and the weight of the material.
I ordered two pair, in different sizes. Medium in khaki and Large in white. The mediums fit perfectly, large was way to big. I do like a little extra room with white pants, but this was too much. So I am still on a quest for White Anatomie pants. I also like the khaki color that I kept. With spring here and summer around the corner, the need for lighter colors has arrived.

Why are some C-section mums swabbing their babies with vaginal fluid?
It's the latest birthing trend and may offer C-section babies valuable protection from their mummies that they may not otherwise get...
Earlier this year, a US mum named Carolyn Weiss — who gave birth via scheduled C-section — had a strange request in her birth plan. One hour before she gave birth, she wanted a piece of saline-soaked gauze placed in her vagina. Just before her surgery, the gauze was to be removed and placed in a sealed container. Moments after the birth, her husband was to take the gauze and rub it inside their baby's mouth, around the eyes and on the skin.
It turns out that this practice, which is called "seeding" is really not that strange after all.
But we'll come back to Carolyn's story later in this article. First, we tell you all about the process of seeding and why it perhaps makes sense to do it for C-section babies.
Our bodies are home to trillions of microbes
According to a report in The Guardian, the science behind the trend of vaginal seeding explains why it is growing in popularity.
The report explains,
the human body is home to an estimated 100tn microorganisms that form a complex ecosystem known as the microbiome. Scientists are just beginning to understand the tremendously vital role the microbiome plays in human health, but emerging research shows that these trillions of little guys (which collectively weigh about 2.5lb [1kg]) keep very busy.
Some of the health advantages of these microorganisms include benefits to the immune system, and assistance with dealing with infection and processing food.
While the biggest populations of microbes are found in the intestines and colon, they are also found elsewhere, including the skin, mouth, lungs and, you guessed it, vagina.
Babies born vaginally get a good dose of mummy-microbes
We have been taught to think of microbes as our enemies. But now, according to The Guardian report, "scientists are beginning to understand the level to which humans and their microbes share a mutually beneficial relationship, beginning at birth."
To explain, when a baby is the womb, his gut is probably a sterile environment until the membranes rupture and the water breaks.
Researchers believe that at this point, the baby's microbiome is first colonised by his mum's bacteria, and as he travels through the birth canal, he continues to be coated with his mother's microbes.
The report says that right after birth, "a baby's microbiome closely resembles the bacteria of the mom's vagina," and this is believed to give the baby protection from harmful pathogens and illnesses after birth.
C-section babies' microbiomes are colonised by the wrong microbes
When a baby is born via C-section, he doesn't get the dose of mummy-bacteria that a baby born via vaginal birth gets.
He still gets exposed to bacteria, but in this case, his bacterial community looks like the bacterial communities found on skin. Of course some of it is his mummy's, but this microbial presence also comes from doctors, nurses and even other hospital patients.
Now this is a problem because pioneer colonisation by such bacteria "may make a baby more susceptible to harmful pathogens and eventual illness."
According to research, babies born via C-section are more likely than those born vaginally to suffer from problems such as allergies, eczema and asthma, and are also more likely to be hospitalized for gastroenteritis.
Researchers now believe that this can be partly explained by these babies not getting the dose of their mothers' vaginal bacteria that a vaginally born baby gets.
A solution for C-section babies
Dr Maria Gloria Dominguez-Bello is a microbiologist from New York University who has been studying the microbiome for several years.
For years, she's been trying to find out if there is a way C-section babies can get the bacterial benefits a vaginally-born baby does, through a process called seeding, where the baby is swabbed with his mum's vaginal fluids.
Dominguez-Bello reportedly conducted a study in Puerto Rico last year, where she used her technique on 21 babies.
The results show that her technique — "remove the baby from mom's uterus; swab its mouth, eyes and skin; place on mom's chest" – does have a positive impact on a C-section newborn's microbiome.
The researcher hopes her technique will soon be adopted into the mainstream birthing process and thereby help "lower the risk of illness in babies born surgically."
Looking for protection against allergies and eczema
Now we go back to Carolyn Weiss who was introduced at the beginning of this article.
The Guardian report says that Carolyn's first daughter born via C-section suffered from eczema and also has food allergies. When Carolyn was researching into possible causes for these condition, she came across Dominguez-Bello's study.
She wanted to give seeding a try when she became pregnant with her second child and was told she'd have to deliver the baby via C-section too.
Carolyn said , "Our doctor is generally supportive of the idea, but he won't do it himself. That task will fall to my husband."
According to the report, seeding may present "some risk in spreading infection to the baby, so it's imperative that a mom has a healthy microbial ecology, checking, for example, they have an acid lactobacillus-dominated vagina, are HIV- and strep-B negative, and showing no signs of an STD."
But all in all, the technique shows signs of promise — the million dollar question is, would you give it a try?

As the task of your web site designing must be in the hands of someone who have good project management skills. In order to see how smooth the process was talk to some of their current and recent clients.
So in summary choose only honest and integral marketer's that have an interest in helping you win opposed to bank wasting perfectly good paper to print and mail you your account bills.
Now, the good thing about advertisement via Brochures is that they allow you to promote your business both online and offline. Seo, PPC and Affiliate Marketing are online marketing tactics. However, you can use your brochure online as well as offline to promote your products and share your business story with your market. You can let people download your brochure through your website. Or, you can use email marketing and attach your brochure to promote your business. You can also visit different sites that allow you to upload your content and brochures. This will allow you to bring traffic to your website.
Get some business internet marketing cardsmade. No matter what you are promotingonline you should have a business card. It doesn't have to have your name and phonenumber on it. You can simply have a shortmessage on it and your webaddress on it. You shouldalwayskeep these on you because you never know when they maycome in handy.
Please DO NOT underestimate the simplicity of these methods, because from my experience and from many of the most successful marketers today, simple techniques like these when executed bring amazing results.
Remember the best type of traffic is free web traffic which means you don't have to pay anything for them. This type of traffic is the best, but also the most difficult to build since everyone else would prefer not to pay for traffic as well. The main way to get traffic to your website is becoming familiar with search engine optimization. This is the process of placing the key terms you would like to rank well for on the pages which they represent. A good example is if your website teaches people how to market a website for free then you will want the title to include either internet marketing or website marketing. It is also important not to break any of Google's rules which means if you are doing something which is meant to trick Google or the other major search engines it is probably a bad idea.
Usually there will be a significant difference in the number of searches for the three, with fewer for exact and the greater for broad. The number of searches in the broad match will help you assess the long term traffic potential for your site. This is important to ensure that your time and effort is warranted for your website idea.

What it was like
Jay grew up in Lake Havasu City, AZ. Not a place that turns out a lot of digital marketers.
Best known as America's home of The London Bridge!
Jay was a journalism guy in high school.
All he wanted to do by college was write for the Washington Post.
Jay's family goes back 7 Generations as entrepreneurs making wood furniture – "It's Oak."
Jay's father is color blind – not the makings of a good furniture salesman.
His great grandfather came up with the tagline based on the fact that furniture makers would line the wood with steel to make it feel heavier.
Was there pressure to be an entrepreneur?
Not pressure per se, but it was sort of an unspoken expectation that, that is just what you did.
Jay's dad met a guy randomly who convinced him to move his family to Arizona – "based on a conversation in an airport bar" as in – "we'll figure out the details later…"
On to college, Jay took an intro to Political Science. He met his wife on his first day there.
The class taught about how they develop political campaigns. Jay switched from journalism to Political science.
Jay interned twice with a public affairs and political consulting firm. Then he landed a job there right out of college.
At 23 he went on to be a political consultant.
This was a great job because there is so much finality to it – either you win or lose!
Jay got out of this and got into more traditional marketing, and worked for the government for a bit in between.
He worked for the Department of Juvenile Corrections in Arizona.
His job was to give tours of the juvenile prison system to the media and legislators.
Then his friends asked him for help with marketing for this internet company.
Anxious for any way to get out of the prison, Jay accepted their offer and request for help.
The company did very well and eventually sold.
Jay has done two things really well:
- Convincing his wife to marry him.
- Getting involved in the internet very early.
They sold Budweiser.com to Anheuser Busch for 50 cases of beer!
His partner registered and sold beer.com for $5 million.
Jay has written several books, including Youtility.
Back to political consulting – most of Jay's time was spent as a specialist – direct mail campaigns, later digital, website, email campaigns. So this was essentially marketing for Political candidates.
What Happened
The prison job ironically was like anti-marketing. The idea was to make sure no one was talking about them.
This gave Jay a chance to understand that working for the government was not a good match for his entrepreneurial spirit.
What really caused him to go (in addition to drinking beers with friends), was that he was put in charge of a 13 person business card redesign committee.
The hardest part of Jay's entrepreneurial journey was starting his entrepreneurial journey.
He had a daughter and was scared about what would happen if it didn't work out. Why take the risk when he had this job.
Then jay's best friend and brother in law was diagnosed with a terminal disease. This is when Jay decided to quit and go out on his own.
Get a piece of paper and write down exactly what you are afraid of.
What you will probably find is that most of these fears are just between your ears. They are boogeymen! Something you're afraid of that doesn't really exist.
Jay can you walk us through an example of what one of your fears was and how you came to this realization?
You write, "I am afraid of X, because Y."
I am afraid of a giant reduction in income, because I can't get enough clients if I do this by myself.
The Z equation is where you ask how realistic is that?
It's true you might not get enough clients, but there is a fallback. You can go get a job. And he had a savings.
The risk is greater for your ego than it is for your bank account. Get over that!
A bruised ego is not fatal.
Go out and just ask for things, so that you can get used to rejection. You might find you're surprised at what things you DO get!
You miss every shot you don't take
– Wayne Gretzky
Every no is one closer to a yes.
Lean on the people closest to you for support, and remember to show them how much you appreciate them. They will give you the push you need at the times when you need it most.
Jay's wife was a trained paralegal. She would work all day at a big firm. Come home. Feed Jay and the kids. Then she would manage all of Jay's search marketing from 9pm to midnight.
We have to get out of our own way.
We have to recognize that some of the things we fear – the process of facing those fears is what we need most to get over them.
Once I jumped off the high diving board the first time, it was easier and easier to do it again.
Jay was with the .com boom.
Then he started a company in conjunction with a network of TV, Radio, and Magazines as a leading internet business.
Then he left that firm to create a new product that was Skype, before there was Skype. Timing is everything. It didn't work out.
Then Jay started his own company called, "Mighty Interactive" and then sold it to an ad agency.
Then he started Convince and Convert 10 years ago.
What it's like today
Find Jay at Convinceandconvert.com
Jay's favorite kind of companies are companies that know what they are!
Pick a type of client and be indispensable to that client.
In his own company they do not do tactical work. They only do strategy. They do one thing and they do it as well as anyone in the world.
Just finished his sixth book, Talk Triggers.
Jay's Books:

Talk Triggers
Convince and Convert has three components
- Live Teaching
- Media Division
- Consulting Division
What is your top tip for how I can get my customers referring everyone to me?
Word of mouth has influence on 91% of all B2B buying decision.
They need a frame of reference.
So what you want to do is give your customers a story to tell.
You need a word of mouth strategy. Just being a "good company" is not going to do it.
Nobody has ever said, "let me tell you about this perfectly adequate experience I've just had."
Example of a company that does this well.
A restaurant in Sacramento called, "Skip Kitchen."
Before you pay them they fan a deck of cards. If you get a joker, your meal is free.
Their only promotion is word of mouth. On average three people a day win, and when they do, they go crazy promoting their win on Social Media.
You have to do something for your clients that they remember.
In & Out Burger has "animal style."
A talk trigger is a word of mouth generator. This is not a contest or something. It is just something you do in your operation and people will talk about it.
Holiday World in Santa Clause, Indiana!
They have a shack that gives away free sunscreen!
Start writing notes about what you can do, to create your own talk triggers.
How do you do this without going out of business?
You don't want to go TOO large, or people become suspicious.
Doubletree hotels gives you a warm cookie. They give out 75,000 per day. 38% of them have mentioned the cookie. So current customers are their best marketers.
If you can get 4/10 customers to tell people about what you did, the benefits will far outweigh the costs.
So this is an investment.
The Hilton Story
Hilton Suggests
They will help you find what you need when you're traveling no matter where you're staying!
Marketers ruin everything! They can't leave well enough alone. We don't trust our customers enough to let them go and do their thing, and make the referrals.
The first step is to talk to your customers about what they expect from you.
I used to look for people complaining about how they can't do something with QuickBooks. Then I would create the content that answered their questions and send them the link.

BeautiControl — scam
We were invited to one spa evening to experience relaxation and relieve stress. Never, never did the consultant mention it was to sign up people to sell Beauti Control Products. We ordered
what she told us was the best deal. Now we are receiving continuous e-mails from other directors
about selling.
They told us to attend a meeting to receive the rest of our order of $125. Then they state that we
will not receive our order until after our attendence at these sales meetings. This is a SCAM.
We feel we have really been taken advantage of and scammmed.

New live-action series MISSING suddenly appears
The terms "MISSING" and "FMV" made for an impressive combination in Lexis Numérique's 2004 puzzler (also known as In Memoriam), and now indie developer Zandel Media is hoping the same proves true again with the debut of their new live-action mystery, MISSING: An Interactive Thriller.
The first episode of the series (no connection to the earlier title) stars a kidnapping victim named David Newcastle. Abducted for "no clear reason, Dave will have to find his way out and elude captivity while trying to figure out who his captor is." It seems that he is not alone in his predicament, either, as elsewhere "Detective Lambert investigates a series of mysterious disappearances in the city." Lambert will be the main focus of the remaining episodes.
Originally released on the App Store and Google Play to very little fanfare late last year, MISSING now arrives on PC promising to blend '90s-style full motion video sequences with traditional adventuring in which you must "use your brain to solve puzzles, find items and use reflexes in action sequences to help the characters progress in the story." The action will involve Quick Time Events designed to give the game a more cinematic tension to suit the story, as glimpsed in the second video released.
Available only as a single-episode purchase at this time, Episode One is available now on Steam. There are currently five episodes planned in total, but the good news is that the remaining episodes will be released all together, rather than individually. Filming is scheduled to begin this fall.
