Terrifying Alpha Delta Pi Sorority Recruitment Video
Trending News: This Sorority Recruitment Video Is So Terrifying, It Was Deleted
Why Is This Important?
Because who doesn't like being scared AF every once in a while?
Long Story Short
The Alpha Delta Pi sorority from the University of Texas at Austin released a recruitment video that was so terrifying, it was quickly deleted from Twitter after drawing comparisons to hell. You know, the place the devil calls home.
Long Story
The University of Texas at Austin has some interesting students in its midst. Most notably the girls of the Alpha Delta Pi sorority who recently put out a recruitment video that was so terrifying, it had to be pulled from Twitter ASAP. The clip starts out okay enough (although, unlike the University of Miami's Delta Gamma video, there's no yacht in sight, so they're already losing points!) with three girls in matching outfits standing in front of their sorority house. No biggie, right? Except it quickly turns into a traumatic 39-second video that will haunt you for days.
"We've been waiting for you all summer, and we are so glad that you're finally here," Maddie, Haley and Jean-Marie declare in unison before swinging open the doors to their house and revealing a mountain, no, pyramid of fellow sorority sisters chanting in unison. It's hard to see anything other than floating heads and hands and if you want to be scared AF, we suggest you get cozy and watch this bad boy on a loop.

Catholic Priest and longtime peace activist Roy Bourgeois has been told by the Vatican to end his advocacy for women's ordination or be excommunicated. He's chosen excommunication. The independent Catholic paper National Catholic Reporter spoke with Bourgeois:
Hardly a day passes that a phone call or a letter doesn't bring tears to his eyes. 'I never knew just how deeply women have been hurt by the church. And after hearing from so many women, I'm no longer comfortable being part of an institution that excludes them. Over and over again, they tell him of their struggles with faith, of the anguish of sexual abuse, of profound feelings of dejection. And of a rising anger. Some — like a woman who wrote him about being sexually abused by a bishop — are livid that the church, while finding women unworthy for ordination, protects pedophile priests and never threatens to excommunicate them.
Many are also incensed that the Vatican would so quickly take drastic action against Bourgeois. Bourgeois has done several stints in federal prison protesting the U.S. Army School of the Americas, which has trained dictators, assassins and death-squad leaders across Latin America. While he has appreciated letters that thanked him for speaking out for women who say they have no voice, Bourgeois is careful to make clear that he is not trying to speak for women, but to stand in solidarity with them.

Help:Starting a new page
<languages/> Template:PD Help Page <translate> There are several ways to start a new page. These can vary based on the type of page started, as well as the wiki and namespace.
Using Wikilinks
MediaWiki makes it very easy to link wiki pages using a standard syntax (see [[<tvar|links>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Links</>|Links]]). If you (or anyone else) create a link to an article that doesn't exist yet, the link will be colored red, like this.
Clicking a red link will take you to the edit page for the new article. Simply type your text, click save and the new page will be created.
Once the page has been created, the link will change from red to blue (purple for pages you've visited) indicating that the article now exists.
Usually this is the best way to create a new page, because it means that right from the start, the page will be linked from at least one other place on the wiki (and typically you will want to mesh it into other related pages later). If you are creating a new page without creating any link to it, you may need to ask yourself: Does this page really fit in with the topics already covered in the wiki? Also, how are you expecting visitors to find this page? Normally there is no reason to create a page without first creating a red link to it.
From the search page
If you search for a page that doesn't exist (using the search box and "Go" button on the left of the page) then you will be provided with a link to create the new page.
Using the URL
You can use the wiki's URL for creating a new page. The URL to an article of the wiki is usually something like this:</translate>
If you replace
ARTICLE with the name of the page you wish to create, you will be taken to a blank page which indicates that no article of that name exists yet. Clicking the "Edit" [[<tvar|tabs>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Navigation#Page Tabs</>|page tab]] at the top of the page will take you to the edit page for that article, where you can create the new page by typing your text, and clicking submit.
Create redirects to your new page
Don't forget to set up redirects when you create a page. If you think another person may search for the page you've created by using a different name or spelling, please create the proper redirect(s). See [[<tvar|redir>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Redirects</>|Help:Redirects]].
Protecting your new page
Normally a new wiki page can be edited by other people (that is one of the main ideas of a wiki!) However, a sysop could '[[<tvar|prot>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Protected pages</>|protect]]' the page, if desired, to prevent normal users from editing it. </translate>

The Southwest is the location of an ongoing culture clash between proponents of a unified "American" culture and Mexican-American culture. The significance of the debate is not just about Mexican-American studies; it reflects a broader debate about individual and collective identity in the United States. The two cultures have historically had a contentious relationship that is further intensified by their geographical proximity to one another. Some of the tensions have culminated in a conflict within the school system between supporters and opponents of Mexican-American studies. One side of the debate sees the program as a means to help students succeed by learning about events and people through a particular cultural lens. Individuals on the other side of the debate disagree with the program because they feel that it unjustly gives Mexican-American students particular privileges and encourages students to disassociate from a collective "American" identity. An analysis of what justice demands for teaching heterogeneous groups of students is necessary to determine what is just. Philosophers such as Iris Marion Young, Nancy Fraser, and Danielle Allen have developed particular frameworks to address what justice demands in a variety of situations.

Pythonista 3 runs Pythonista 2 startup script
I just noticed that: When I launch Pythonista 3, the
pythonista_startup.pyfile in the Pythonista 2
site-packagesfolder will be executed.
Is there a reason for that?
I've done some tests:
- Pythonista 2 runs only the its own
- Pythonista 3 first runs its own
pythonista_startupfile, then the one in the Pythonista 2
- Pythonista 2 runs only the its own
As far as I can tell, Pythonista 3 loads both Python runtimes at startup. The Python 2 runtime (
PythonistaKit.framework) is probably the same as the one used by Pythonista 2, so it imports modules from
Documents/site-packagesinstead of
Pythonista3/Documents/site-packages. This isn't an optimal solution (the Pythonista 3 UI treats the Pythonista 2 folder as read-only), and a few people have suggested that there should be two
site-packagesfolders for the two Python versions.
Pythonista 2 has no support for Python 3, so it only loads the Python 2 runtime.

Lynn Shelton is nothing if not prolific. Since her 2006 feature debut "We Go Way Back," she's made five films, and since "Humpday" became a crossover hit, she's only gotten busier. That film was followed by "Your Sister's Sister" in 2011, and barely a year later, she was back with another feature, "Touchy Feely," which premiered at Sundance back in January. And in between all of that (plus occasional cameos in the likes of "Safety Not Guaranteed" and "Prince Avalanche"), she's become an in-demand TV director, with her work including episodes of "Mad Men," "Ben & Kate" and "New Girl."
There's no sign of letting up any time soon, as Shelton revealed when we caught up with her at Sundance London over the weekend, where she was supporting the international premiere of the distinctive and excellent "Touchy Feely." She's currently prepping to shoot her next film, "Laggies," but we asked if her adaptation of Joshua Ferris' "Then We Came To The End," was still a going concern. As it turns out, it's not, but it's been swapped out for a different project, which could follow "Laggies." "We parted ways [on 'Then We Came To The End'], a while back. It was really sad. But I'm in development on another project with the producer, Anne Carey ['Adventureland,' 'The American'], so all is well."
And that project? An adaptation of Mishna Wolff's acclaimed and best-selling memoir "I'm Down," which appealed in part because of Shelton's connection to the material. "It's set in Seattle [Shelton's home]; the writer Mishna Wolff, grew up in Seattle as well, so it's about her navigating as a white girl in this black culture, and just as she's figured that out, she gets plucked out and put into a different setting, with these very erudite white people, trying to navigate these two worlds. It's all about identity, it's so fantastic. I'm ten years older than her, but I was bussed in from the white neighborhood to the black neighborhood, so I felt a great affinity to the material. She wrote this memoir a few years ago, and then got into the Sundance Labs to turn it into a script, but ended up having a family. So it took a long time, but finally about a year ago, they felt it was in good enough shape, and brought it to me, and we've been rewriting and rewriting, and we're just about ready to start going out to actors. So maybe that'll be my next project [after 'Laggies']"
Shelton's keeping busy elsewhere too, telling us she's just shot a pilot for CBS, one that stars "Will & Grace" and "Smash" star Debra Messing, and known at one point as "Mother's Day." "It's a CBS single-camera half-hour comedy," Shelton told us, "a late pick-up, so I lucked out, 'cause my impression is that CBS doesn't like to hire people who haven't done pilots before, but most of their tried-and-true directors were already taken up. So when the writers ['Sex and the City' veterans Julie Rottenberg and Elisa Zuritsky] started lobbying for me, based on their liking my last couple of films, I happened to be in LA doing a 'New Girl' episode, so I was able to meet with the studio and the network," Shelton explained. "And I think they called absolutely everybody I'd worked with in television, and I guess got some pretty good feedback, 'cause they hired me. I couldn't believe they hired me! But I had like a day between coming back from LA and going to New York for six weeks. It now has a temporary title, 'See Gabby Run,' but I'm not sure if it's going to stick or not. It was an absolutely wonderful experience. I'm used to showing up as a guest director, doing an episode on a show that has everything set, the look and the feel, so it was really fun to be a part of creating that initial template."
We wondered, given that some of her peers and collaborators like the Duplass Brothers have moved into TV, if the experience had given her the desire to create her own series, but Shelton has reservations. "I've seen the lives of creators," she said, "and it's not really hugely appealing to me. No sleep, not ever leaving your office, being totally obsessive, it looks very daunting… I wouldn't mind being a producing director. Eventually I could see being a creator, but only if it shot in Seattle. I have a family, and I want to keep them. And I like boosting Seattle, we don't have a TV show at the moment."
But that said, she is attached to direct another pilot over at HBO, which will mark a reteam with "Laggies" writer Andrea Seigel. "[She] pitched a pilot, asked me to be attached as a director, and HBO bought it, so she's developing it now. So hopefully we'll shoot that in the next year. Because she brought me on so early, it's been an even more collaborative experience. I really enjoy that, It's called 'Terrible Infants,' three couples who each have newish babies," she said. "It's their lives, but in a way that people in that era of their lives aren't normally portrayed. It's very HBO, straightforward, extremely funny, but very real. She's a brilliant writer, she's so funny. I can't wait to do this movie with her."
As for "Laggies," that's set to shoot in June, with a cast that currently includes Anne Hathaway, Sam Rockwell, Chloe Moretz and Mark Webber. For more on that film, and on "Touchy Feely," stay tuned for the rest of our interview with Shelton later in the week.

|Hawaii Five-O and Hawaii Five-O (2010)
Hawaii Five-O (1968 – 1980)
Hawaii Five-O (2010 - )
Type: Revival
It's not often that someone retools a classic and it turns out well. Heck, it's not often that someone retools a crap show and it works. But, in this case, they reworked a beloved show successfully.
Hawaii Five-O is a television cop show classic. Jack Lord played Detective Steve McGarrett. He and his team of "Five-O" cops patrolled the shores of exotically beautiful Hawaii (The 50th state, thus "Five-O"). McGarrett's right hand man was Dan Williams, also known as Danno, leading to Jack Lord's famous catchphrase. After catching the bad guy he would usually give a shout of, "Book 'em, Danno!" Over the run of the show they tangled with a number of bad guys but the show's arch villain was the crime boss Wo Fat. The show ended up airing for 12 seasons, an amazing run for any series. But in 1980 Five-O was retired... for the time being.
Cut to 2010. CBS decided to revamp and revive its classic cop drama. It's understandable. With the internet and cable TV nibbling away at network ratings every major network wants and needs a hit. Introducing a brand new show and having it catch on with the public is a tough proposition. Starting with an established franchise helps to get people to at least try a new show. Again, reviving an old show more often than not ends up in disaster but, hey, it's still a slightly better bet than a show no one has heard of. And if it tanks ya bail on it.
In this case the producers revamped in a very smart way so there ended up no need to bail. First of all, they stuck close to the original show's formula and characters. It was still McGarrett and company hunting down criminals against the gorgeous backdrop of Hawaii. Each week you got a self-contained action cop story.
They also made smart changes. First off, this Hawaii Five-O was not a direct continuation of the old show. This was a new continuity with new younger versions of the classic characters. McGarrett was now a young tough guy, fresh out of the military special ops. Dan Williams was back but redefined as a mainlander closer to McGarrett's age and willing to complain and talk back. In fact the joke in the new Five-O was that only Danny's daughter called him Danno and it annoyed him to no end whenever McGarrett would say, "Book 'em, Danno." Also back on the Five-O team was Chin Ho and Kono Kalakaua, both in younger sexier forms. In fact Kono became a sexy female detective.
Helping on the character front was some savvy casting. New McGarrett Alex O'Loughlin was not exactly a household name. But that's good. Don't necessarily want a known actor taking over the lead role. Danno was played by Scott Caan, son of acting legend James Caan. He had also established himself on the hit HBO series Entourage. Korean actor Daniel Dae Kim took over the role of Chin Ho fresh off of being part of the huge hit series Lost (also filmed in Hawaii). And then there's Kono, now female and played by the beautiful and charismatic Grace Parks. In addition to being a former model, Parks also had starred in the hit revival of another show, Battlestar Galactica. They added to the cast Masi Oka - just off the hit show Heroes - as well as Terry O'Quinn, also just off the hit Lost. So they not only cast attractive and talented actors, they cast actors that came with followings from other shows. Something else that would get people to at least TRY the show. As long as you don't screw things up that's a good starting point for building a ratings hit.
And they didn't mess it up. Like I said, they stuck to the tried and true cop show formula. They packed the show with good character interplay. And... oh yeah, despite the cop show formula, this was not your daddy's Hawaii Five-O. This Five-O borrowed it's action attitude from the hit action show 24, even though it didn't follow that show's serialized style. It had bigger weapons and action than the original Five-O.
I almost forgot something very important. They did right by theme music. The original series had a kick ass theme song. The new series didn't jettison it. They rerecorded it, rocking it up just a bit more but staying faithful to the classic. They did right by the music which, with this song, was a huge plus to gaining viewers. You hear that song on a promo, you wanna tune it.
With the show a solid hit the only question now is if the new Five-O will run as long as the original.Other Hawaii Five-O Crossover Links

How a 'farm girl' from Wisconsin landed on 'Survivor' three times and became a host for red-carpet events
Andrea Boehlke was made to be on "Survivor."
Sleeping outside with bugs crawling on you? Count her in. Making fire? No problem. Building a shelter made of bamboo to survive for nearly 40 days on a remote island? Sign her up. Add in the competitive nature and social dynamics that the reality TV show offers and a chance to win $1 million, and that was more than enough to hook this small-town farm girl from Sheboygan County.
"I always loved it, kind of envisioned what it would be like playing," said Boehlke in a phone interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel ahead of the 40th season of "Survivor" this week. "Never thought it would actually be reality."
It in fact has become a huge part of her life.
As the show enters its 20th year on television, Boehlke, 30, is now one of the most well-known and successful "Survivor" players of all-time. She has appeared on the show three times — all during the previous decade — and has since established herself in the hosting business working for People in New York City.
"I never imagined playing the game three times," Boehlke said. "But every time they call me it's always an absolute yes, because it's the most surreal, epic thing you could ever do. It's crazy. You're out there, you're starving. It's the biggest highs and biggest lows I've ever experienced in my life. To get that chance again and that chance at a million dollars is so worth it."
Her family's influence
But without a nudge from her mom, Linda, a retired art teacher at Campbellsport High School, we might never have seen Boehlke on the show.
Though we could have seen a different Boehlke. Andrea's parents, Linda and Royal, big fans of the show, actually applied for the show years earlier. They never heard back from CBS.
"You need to have a certain type of personality," Linda said.
It turns out, Andrea Boehlke was the Boehlke "Survivor" was looking for.
While home from college at 20 years old, Boehlke and her mom were discussing her future, and Linda brought up the idea of sending in a video to "Survivor," which at that time had already been on air for 10 years.
Why "Survivor"?
No matter what they were doing, the Boehlke family after a long day of work on their 2,000-acre family farm in Random Lake would always sit down for a night of "Survivor" and host weekly "Survivor" parties.
"I remember as a little girl always watching 'Survivor,' " said Andrea, a 2007 Random Lake High School graduate. "And my family doesn't watch a lot of TV, but 'Survivor' was our main show."
It also had to do with Jeri, Andrea's younger sister, who died in 2004 from injuries sustained in an auto terrain accident. Jeri had always encouraged her mom to apply to the show, so when Andrea was selected she said she knows Jeri would have been "really happy."
"Whenever I play 'Survivor' I always think of (Jeri) more than ever because I know this is what she would have wanted and I just feel close to her when I'm out here," Andrea said in a 2016 interview on the island. "In a way a show like this has kind of kept my family together. We've always rallied around our times together."
When Linda appeared on the show in 2016 for the family visit after Andrea advanced far enough, she told her on TV "it's all because of your sister (Jeri) that we're really here."
Boehlke spent most of her childhood with Jeri and her other two sisters tending to horses, beef cattle and pigs. She was in 4-H and her family trips typically involved fishing, camping and hiking.
So it was only natural that in her application video, Boehlke "definitely leaned into the farm girl Wisconsin aspect" where she was riding her horse and catching pigs — a VHS tape her parents still have.
Her family helped her prep for the show by working with her on fire-making skills.
Given her family's involvement and love for the game, it's no surprise that Boehlke views her favorite "Survivor" moment as the family visits when she survived long enough on two of her seasons.
"To see my dad out there was incredible," Boehlke said of her first season filmed in 2010 near San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. "And then (in the third season) having my mom come out there to Fiji was one of the top moments of my life because it was her dream to be on 'Survivor.' When you're playing 'Survivor' you're so deprived of family and that love. When you see your mom and dad it's next level. It's so emotional you cherish them more than you ever have before. It was a really cool bonding moment."
From newcomer to fan favorite to game changer
Boehlke has had plenty of memorable moments on the show.
It started with her first season when the then-21-year-old won her way back four days after being voted out during "Survivor: Redemption Island." The eventual winner — Rob Mariano — realized Boehlke was a big threat to win the game and was voted out next.
Boehlke's fellow castaways on her ensuing seasons also recognized her strong strategic mind, leading to her eliminations when she returned two years later on "Survivor: Fans vs. Favorites" and four years after that on "Survivor: Game Changers." She actually holds the record for most votes cast against her in "Survivor" history.
"It feels nice that people recognize you as a threat," Boehlke said. "However, it doesn't help in my experience. In the game, it's definitely a burden."
Boehlke said she felt working on the farm helped her develop a "strong work ethic," that she utilized in the game around camp and to build relationships.
Linda said watching Andrea on the show for the first time "was a little scary." But she quickly realized the show was a perfect fit for her oldest daughter.
"She's such a competitor," Linda said.
Boehlke, who is just one of six Wisconsinites to ever appear on the show, is in select company with her "Survivor" resume.
She advanced to the jury portion of the game every time, has lasted 103 days over her three seasons, seventh-most ever — something she admits has a lot to do with luck — won three individual immunity challenges and even a hidden immunity idol.
Boehlke found that hidden immunity idol on the "Fans vs. Favorites" season, which featured 10 fans of the show playing alongside 10 returning favorites. The idol would have kept Boehlke safe from the vote but she didn't play it and instead joined the jury after 33 days.
Nevertheless, she had a nice memento to remind herself of the game and maybe what could have been that season. It was with her for many years in her New York City apartment until last year when she lost it coming home from a "Survivor" watch party.
"Who loses a real idol in real life?," Boehlke said. "It was my most prized possession and I lost it."
Watching the seasons she played in on national TV has never been her favorite part.
"Everyone that plays 'Survivor' you have this idea of how it went," Boehlke said. "Everyone's the hero in their own story, but when you watch it back and you're not the main character it feels so weird and unsettling because you realize your reality wasn't the reality."
'Survivor' going big for Season 40
Millions have watched Boehlke and the other 589 contestants on the show since 2000.
While ratings have decreased over time — it was once the top-rated show on television — "Survivor" is still averaging around 10 million viewers in recent years and is among the top shows for its Wednesday primetime slot.
The Jeff Probst-hosted show kicked off a phenomenon in 2000 when 16 Americans, including two from Wisconsin, set out to the South China Sea on a remote Malaysian island to play a game that is all about outwitting, outlasting and outplaying your fellow castaways in a quest to claim the title of sole Survivor. It was that season when Palmyra native Sue Hawk delivered a final tribal council speech that is still remembered two decades later after she compared the final two castaways to a rat and a snake.
"Survivor" is going big for Season 40. Twenty of the show's former winners are playing for a $2 million prize.
"It all boils down to a social experiment with strangers," Boehlke said of the show's longevity. "When you study human behavior, there's some good things, there's some bad things, and I think it's a really cool experiment. And I think that's why it stays fresh this many years. There's always going to be new people, new personalities, new dynamics, new twists and you never know what to expect. You can't really write it."
However, that behavior can sometimes cross a line.
Last season, a player was removed after he inappropriately touched female players and later also allegedly touched a crew member's leg. It was the first time a player has ever been kicked off the show.
As a veteran of the show, Boehlke said "last season was tough" since the show is meant for families.
Boehlke said she would have preferred to have seen that player removed earlier than he was, but she hopes new protocols "Survivor" and CBS have put in place are effective so the show can "move forward and grow from it."
Hitting the red carpet
When Boehlke isn't watching or playing "Survivor," she's sometimes interviewing guests about the show for her job, including Probst last week where he called the upcoming season the best-ever.
Boehlke, who has a bachelor of fine arts in acting from University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, moved to New York City after her first season and four years ago landed a job for People, where she hosts a daily entertainment show called People Now. It streams on the magazine's website and social media platforms. She said her time in front of the camera on "Survivor" helps with hosting because "it's personality driven."
Boehlke has interviewed a who's who of celebrities including Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Kevin Hart, Robert De Niro, Jennifer Aniston, Olivia Munn and Scarlett Johansson.
Her favorites are Brad Pitt and Jennifer Lopez, whom she has interviewed on red carpet events. She has worked the Primetime Emmy Awards, the Screen Actors Guild Awards and Academy of Country Music Awards.
Despite her love for her job, nothing beats coming home to Wisconsin.
"I miss it because being in New York there's not a lot of land to roam free," Boehlke said. "I love going back in the summer."
She would also love going back to experience "Survivor" one more time.
"You never know," she said.

Jimi Hendrix with Memphis-born Arthur Lee of Love. The two artists drew their fan base from the counter-culture youth movement of the 1960s. Hendrix had collaborated with Lee from 1964.
Originally uploaded by Pan-African News Wire Photo File
A year has gone since we were shocked by the all too early passing of Arthur Lee.
This is a day to remember all the wonderful music he gave us and for all of you who were fortunate enough to see him live to remember the concerts.
Diane Lee has placed a wonderful add in remembrance in the L.A. Weekly.
Arthur Lee Interview from
Rockmusic ru Magazine
December 2003
Arthur Lee: "I am blessed enough to know who I am"
Arthur Lee is the strange and contradictory persona. His band Love albums became classics no less than The Beatles´ "Sgt.Pepper´s Lonely Hearts Club Band" or "Piper at the Gates of Down" Pink Floyd.
Love was the first LA underground band to sign with the major label - Elektra: dark-skinned frontman, dressed in camouflage, leather jeans, one military boot and with a bottle in his hands, screaming wild and twitching onstage - he knew, how to make the impression.
But on the peak of success Arthur Lee have decided, that touring is unnecessary - and Elekta boss Jack Holtzman hired Love imitators, The Doors, - and everyone knows, what happens afterwards. In 1969, after the most successful album "Forever Changes", Lee suddenly disbands Love and recruits absolutely new musicians.
He is all that - contradictorous, rebel-by-the-cause, even if the cause is he himself. Distant echoes of his ideas, his songs are everywhere in modern music, from pop to trip-hop to radical punk. As Bruce Botnick, sound engineer who recorded Love in 60s, said: "Hit parades of the 90s were overflowed by Arthur´s ideas of the 60s".
In 1995 Arthur Lee was imprisoned for 12 years for gun usage (Lee said, accusation was unjust). The campaign was organized for his discharge, where I did what I could (we have organized a concert here for Arthur Lee freedom). The goal was achieved, and in 2001 Arthur Lee was set free. He re-banded Love, and the new concert album and DVD "Forever Changes In Concert" was released.
I have contacted Arthur Lee and ask him some questions."
Q: J. Andrey Manoukhin for Rockmusic.Ru
A: Arthur Lee of Love
Q: In our country of 70-years totalitarism music of Love was absolutely prohibited, for listening it you could have been fired or even imprisoned for a half of month. Listening music of Love was such an exploit here. And Arthur Lee himself was like The Statue of Freedom. To think of THE man, who invented virtually all modern music, to have his breakfast or ironing his shirt, was a blasphemy. And how do you think, the living man Arthur Lee - who is he?
A. I am blessed enough to know who I am.
Q: The world has radically changed in this almost 40 years. Now, years later, you calmed down or still rebelling, in heart if not in words? And do world now needs The Man in One Boot?
A. Has the world changed now from what you thought I was rebelling about?
Q: You called yourselves Love - and were so wild and sometimes dangerous, that Peter Albin of Big Brother & The Holding Co. once said: "They should call themselves Hate". Don't you think you were too aggressive to be Love?
A. I think the guy from Big Brother has a mental problem at the time. I wonder how he is doing now.
Q: Your most successful albums, Da Capo and Forever Changes, both were released in 1967, year of Summer of Love. But you weren't the heroes of Summer of Love. You haven't even performed not one of big festivals of hippie era. Why? Was it, maybe, because of hippie ideology or something else?
A. I never was much for those non profit organisations. But I was one of the first black hippies.
Q: Some called Iggy Pop godfather of punk, some called Lou Reed. Haven't you ever wanted to state your own fathership? You deserve it.
A. I thought 7&7 Is was the first Punk record.
Q: Robby Krieger of Doors wanted to be as good as Love. You were both on Elektra, have same producer. But both now and in late 60s Doors were more popular, then you are, even if less interesting. What do you think of the situation?
A. I think it should be known that I was the one who helped the Doors get signed to Elektra Records.
Q: In early 60s you worked with another icon, Jimi Hendrix, and later recorded together. What do you think of him? Is that true, that you recorded not the only song, but the whole album together?
A. The first time Jimi Hendrix played in a recording studio was on one of my songs called MY DIARY. Read my book (when it comes out) and you'll find out what else I think of Jimi Hendrix.
Q: Now you are releasing Forever Changes In Concert both in CD and DVD formats. For me, it is the "must have" thing. But what do you want to say? And why now? And DVD - do you think it would be SO interesting, that people would not only listen, but watch you doing music onstage after all this years?
A. Buy and see yourself.
Q: Music of Love is loved for many people, and many of them are musicians, too. Notably, Robert Plant did House Is Not A Motel on his latest Song To The Siren album. Do you like cover versions of your songs, particularly his?
A. Although I've never heard his version, I think Robert Plant is a fine singer, a trend setter and a gentleman.
Q: What cover versions would you like to play, if it'll be the ocasion?
A. Mazzay Star, I guess Five String Serenade.
Q: You've created base for most of modern music scene. Who of current musicians could be creator for 30 years forward scene? Or you have successfully returned to fill that space?
A. I don't know anyone who can do what Im doing now
Q: You were and are a superstar, your name is in every rock encyclopaedia. What it is - to be a star?
A. I can't do nothing without the Grace of God.
Q: What do you believe in now?
A. God.

They go so well in my living room! These are not vintage. They came from Hobby Lobby at the end of a season and were marked 90% off the original price, I guess because they were a little "banged up." Perfectly "banged up" in my opinion.
Same with this pair. They were really a good deal. Funny how we do that. We always tell each other of our "great deals" don't we? We don't ever say "it was so expensive!" Like when you have a new blouse and your friend likes it, usually our answer includes something like "and it was on sale!"
(Just a random thought that popped in my head while I was typing this.)
This candlestick was originally a bronze-y color. I sprayed it white and really liked it, especially because of its height. As you can see, I kept it too.
Just some beautiful pink roses. Please remember to "stop and smell the roses" today. Life is a treasure and we should treat it as such. Hug someone. Share love. Visit with someone you haven't seen in awhile.

Quench Your Thirst With a Can of Pabst Beer
PBR is not just any beer- so you would expect the history to be a bit unusual, and it is.
Pabst was originally called "Select," but people started asking for that "Blue Ribbon" beer in 1882 when we started tying silk ribbons to the bottles. We officially added the words "Blue Ribbon" to the bottle in 1895.
Pabst was the first brewery to put beer in cans back in 1935. This was Blue Ribbon beer but it was called "Export" when sold in the can. Our first cans had a picture of a can opener on the side with instructions on how to open the can of beer, with the can opener.
Today, this classic American brew has been adopted by a whole new generation of PBR drinkers. Currently, PBR is one of the fastest growing domestic beer brands. When you're this good, quality always comes through-
Rainier beer brings together nature's bounty from the great Northwest.
Pure spring waters combine with golden barley and verdant hops to produce a beer rich in taste and texture. Fermented slowly with a pedigree yeast culture under tightly controlled conditions, Rainier comes forth with a satisfying malty flavor over a slightly fruity background, spiced with Chinook, Mt. Hood, and Willamette hop notes.

This content, written by The Looker Team, was initially posted in Looker Blog on Apr 3, 2019. The content is subject to limited support.
As we anxiously await the results of winter's arrival, we decided to pull a Viserion and resurrect our predictions from 2017. With an updated Game of Thrones data set and model, we went back to find out how our data-based, totally unscientific predictions for Season 7 of GoT fared in the #dataofthrones.
Prediction 1: Game of Thrones: Season 7, Episode 7 will have a lot of deaths.
Result: We were WRONG.
In our , we saw a death-related data trend and predicted to see that continue, specifically hypothesizing that episode 7 would be deadliest in season 7.
To our surprise, season 7 kicked the death trend we'd previously seen to the curb. According to the all-knowing #dataofthrones, the highest number of named character deaths in the penultimate season actually occurred in the episode before the season finale. And when you think about it, that makes sense, since season 7 was largely setting the stage for what's to come in season 8.
With that knowledge paired with the data, the deadliest episode of the series is likely to come in the final season and will break the record high of 9 named character deaths in 1 episode, which occurred in
Prediction 2: Episode 4 is going to have a surprise death
Result: We were WRONG.
Although mid-season episodes were historically pretty deadly, Season 7, Episode 4 had no named character deaths. Instead, Season 7 had consistent, surprising deaths, the majority of which occurred during Episode 6.
Prediction 3: This season will not be as deadly as the final one
Result: We are PROBABLY RIGHT.
In our previous analysis, we found a trend of deadly seasons followed by a less deadly season. Shown in the data, season 7 ended up having the least amount of deaths in the entire series to date, which leads us to believe Season 8 will not only have more deaths than Season 7 — it may very well be the deadliest of them all.
Prediction 4: Eddison Tollett is going to do... something
Result: We are PROBABLY RIGHT.
While Eddison Tollet remains a character who's shown up in a surprisingly high number of episodes, he didn't crop up as much as we expected in season 7.
But hold on! When including Season 7 in our analysis of total screen time throughout the entire series, our trusty Lord Commander of the Night's Watch still holds a high screen time — higher than Podrick Payne, Hodor, and Gregor Clegane. That's pretty significant, wouldn't you say?
We're still unsure as to what exactly he's out to do, but considering everything that happened in season 7, we have a feeling it'll have to do with the breach of the wall and the good of the realm — in other words, some very worthy screen time.
Bonus insight:
When we mapped screen time over season as a trend, we noticed that Eddison's screen time trend has diverged from Jon Snow's and is now trending similarly to some other key characters: Bran and Meera.
In addition, Jon's new screen time trend is now similar to that of The Night King. No surprise there, since we know the face-off between these two factions is already upon us and can be expected to reach its climax in Season 8.
Prediction 5: Will Jon Snow survive with Sansa by his side?
Result: We were PROBABLY WRONG.
We Jon and Sansa were the only two characters of the main character group whose screen time has increased consistently in recent seasons. However, our interpretation of that trend to mean their time on screen in season 7 would continue to increase as a part of their shared storylines was wrong.
While Sansa's triumphant return to Winterfell allowed Jon Snow to have the highest amount of screen time within a season to date, it was likely because this allowed Jon to leave his childhood home to recruit support for his campaign north of The Wall.
More interestingly, screen time for nearly all of our major characters reached series peaks in Season 7 except for Sansa. As the action is moving from Winterfell to the rest of Westeros and heading to The North, it makes sense that those that remained in Winterfell saw less on-screen action than the rest of the characters.
Prediction 6: Varys' big plot will be revealed
Result: We were MOSTLY RIGHT.
While a big plot reveal wasn't quite what we got from Varys' appearances in season 7, we learned some interesting things from Varys that lead us to believe we were mostly right about this prediction.
When Daenerys confronts him about his poor show of loyalty in the past, Varys responds, "You wish to know where my true loyalties lie? Not with any king or queen, but with the people." It's clear, now more than ever, that he has never been out to serve a single ruler, but rather chooses to serve the realm. He goes on to say, "I will dedicate myself to seeing you on the Iron Throne, because I choose you. Because I know the people have no better chance than you."
So although a massive plot wasn't necessarily revealed, we gained a bit more understanding into his rationale and motivations.
Going back to the data, we plotted some specific words Varys has spoken throughout the series against each other, to see if that's actually the case. The percentage of times Varys mentions "Daenerys" (pink), "Cersei" (blue), and "throne" (yellow) are trending most closely to one another in Season 7 - perhaps hinting to the inevitable face-off between the Mother of Dragons and the former Queen Mother.
Prediction 7: This will be the end of Little Finger… if we see more of him
Result: We were RIGHT... but also kind of wrong.
We all collectively knew Littlefinger's time was ticking; we just didn't know with certainty when his end would come. In one of the most anticipated (though arguably least climactic) moments of season 7, Littlefinger was executed at the hands of Sansa and Arya Stark.
This confirms that our initial hypothesis was true: on-screen time is related to characters who will die. Littlefinger's screen time for season 7 was at its 3rd highest for his character, right up until he was killed.
However, screen time has not shown to be the loudest signal for death. In fact, most major characters had upward trending screen time, regardless of the likelihood of their demise, shown here when we compare the screen time for Varys (alive) against Petyr (recently deceased).
Final Tally of Game of Thrones Season 7 predictions
Right: 2.5; Wrong: 2.5
Half and half — not too bad! Some of our predictions were closer than others, while others left us still curious and wondering. Are there other trends in the data that exist and will ultimately contribute to the events in the final season?

Many Philadelphia companies think they can save money by maintaining their own cleaning schedule and spreading the responsibility amongst their staff, instead of hiring professional janitorial services. They mistakenly believe that by telling their employees to keep a clean space and to share in break room, and even bathroom, cleaning duties that they will save enough to stay within budget. Unfortunately, they forget to take into consideration the cost of their employees' time, and the fact that every person has a different level for acceptable cleanliness.
The time an employee has to take in order to clean takes away from their ability to work on their regularly assigned duties. They then have to work overtime to make up for that missing period of work, or they will always be behind on their schedule. Add into that equation the cost associated with lost productivity when substandard levels of cleanliness lead to the spread of infectious diseases, and the costs for your Philadelphia company skyrocket. The end result of those scenarios is more money than it would probably cost to hire a professional cleaning company for your Philadelphia organization.

The Charitable Women Roofers of Rutherford County
A volunteer group is committed to helping neighbors stay dryBy Jean Gordon | Photos courtesy of The Women Roofers
Jane Alexander Bell calls from a Rutherford County rooftop as her workmate, Susie Kernodle, climbs down to pick up cold water for the crew.
"Shingles are up," Jane calls, adding the quip: "Shouldn't we be pulling weeds, dusting or doing other housework?"
Not this crew — despite the telltale white hair that distinguishes the two septuagenarians. Their motto? "I'd rather roof it than clean it."
They're part of the internationally recognized Women Roofers, who have been roofing houses for those in need since 2002.
"We hope to get finished before the heat of the day," Susie says
The Women Roofers group was born when the only representatives of a Sunday school class at First Baptist Rutherfordton to show up to help Billy Honeycutt with a roof repair were two women — Susie and Lori Herrick.
Expecting to be asked to go back home and reschedule the project date, the women were pleasantly surprised when Honeycutt told them: "Well, let's get to work."
The two spread the word, and by spring, a group of 11 women gathered to replace the full roof for that elderly homeowner under the patient guidance of "Bossman" Billy, as he is affectionately and respectfully called. He taught the women all that he knew and still guides their efforts when needed.
"The work is rewarding because you know you're making a difference for someone who has a need. The secondary benefit has been such tight friendships with a great group of women."
Helping those in need is at the heart of what they do.
"When we leave," says roofer Becky Spencer, "their situation is better than when we came."
"I can't say it's not hard work anymore," says Laura Hodge, a pharmacist and one of the original roofers. "But this is my way of doing God's work. He gives me the strength, and the camaraderie is great."
"There is a core group of 17 who show up for most work and offer leadership," says Nell Bovender, the group's coordinator who is also the director of Rutherford Housing Partnership (RHP), the nonprofit that depends on the efforts of the roofers. RHP provides urgently needed repairs to the homes of qualified low-income homeowners in Rutherford County.
"The work is rewarding because you know you're making a difference for someone who has a need," Nell explains. "The secondary benefit has been such tight friendships with a great group of women. This is the most rewarding work I have ever done."
Known far and wide
The Women Roofers gained national and international recognition a few years ago, appearing on CBS Evening News, NBC Nightly News and in People magazine. In 2018, they were featured on "Returning the Favor," Mike Rowe's Facebook series that recognizes those doing good in their communities. Watch the 26-minute episode, "All the Shingle Ladies."
Their story has been told time and time again across the county, state and nation. Although they do not seek recognition, they will admit it is pretty cool sitting on a rooftop with Mike Rowe.
What's more, before leaving the county, Rowe presented the Women Roofers with an unexpected surprise: $45,000 in supplies and a vacation to Costa Rica.
They have roofed as far away as Mississippi after Hurricane Katrina, and for Habitat for Humanity affiliates in Arkansas and across North Carolina. But their primary mission is to help those in need at home.
In July, the Women Roofers sponsored the first ever WeBuild! Day Camp for 29 girls in fourth to seventh grade, teaching them how to use simple power tools and experience hands-on building over the course of a week.The camp was facilitated through partnerships with RHP, Lowe's and Isothermal Community College. According to the camp flyer: "WeBuild! is much more than hammering and sawing … The girls were introduced to skills they will carry with them the rest of their lives."
Meaningful connections
The women support each other on and off the roof.
Roofers have shared celebrations of grandchildren, marriages, retirements and the pain of divorce and losing a spouse.
"There are so many joys from roofing," Lori Herrick says. "The first thing that comes to mind is knowing at the end of a roofing project you have made someone's life better that day. The joy the group of Women Roofers bring to my life is a gift I can never repay. The group brings so much encouragement, passion for the work and love to each other, as well as the recipients of our work. I consider it an honor to work with this group of women and hope we can continue helping others one roof at a time."
There are also members of the group who stay on the ground, of course, where other important work is needed. Janet Jolly is such a roofer. She believes she is fortunate to be doing something for a homeowner in need.
"Often I speak with the owner, and I have even worked with a few homeowners cleaning up around their homes," she says.
"While I miss all the talk on the roof, I am still outside and doing something for a homeowner," Janet says.
Roofers agree their work is being able to reach out to others in their hours of need.
Jane Bell sums it up: "I cannot imagine what it must feel like to go to bed at night fearful that it might rain and damage your home and belongings. The gratitude from the homeowners is reward enough, but the icing on the cake is working alongside some of the finest women I have ever met in my life. It is an absolute honor and privilege to be a Woman Roofer, and I'll continue as long as this body is able."And "Bossman" Billy says the work of the Women Roofers won't be ending any time soon.
"The need will always be there," he says.

Through a variety of experiments with nodes of coherent reception of radio is very convenient to use a low frequency amplifier with enhanced functionality. In receiving SSB signals requires a low-pass filter (LPF) with adjustable cut-off frequency (to suppress the "tails" from neighboring frequency radios), and for the reception of CW signals is very useful low-frequency bandpass filter (LBPF) at the frequency that provides the most comfortable tone for the operator (typically 650-750Hz, although some hams prefer the tone lower, for example, 500 and even 300 Hz, and others higher, e.g., 900 Hz). Skipping the CW signal through the cascaded LPF and LBPF, it is possible to significantly improve the selectivity of reception.
At the circuit's input signal with the linear output of Receiver. The input level can be in the range of 10 to 200 mV.

The Chaffey Panthers passed their first National Division Central Conference test last week, beating Cerritos in overtime. But it's about to get even tougher.
The Panthers (4-1, 1-0) will trek to El Camino (5-0, 1-0) for a 6 p.m. game against the Warriors who are ranked third in Southern California.
Chaffey coach Carl Beach knows his team is facing a juggernaut but hopes his team's showing against the Warriors in recent years will bode well even though personnel has changed.
"We have played them three times in the last five or six years and they have all been pretty close games," he said. "They're a solid program year in and year out. But they haven't blown us out of the water. We're going to go and play hard and compete and see what happens."
Beach said last week's 16-9 win will go a long way in boosting his team's confidence because it came against the best squad his team has beaten thus far.
"That was something to build on," he said. "There is definitely a difference when guys feel good about themselves. We also know this one will be tougher."
El Camino is unbeaten but has been pushed the last two weeks, squeaking out three-point wins over Bakersfield and Riverside respectively, with last week's coming in overtime.
The Panthers' lone loss came two weeks ago, to Grossmont 51-16, but they regrouped in time for a solid showing last week.
Beach said he will keep using both quarterbacks – with Greg Sprowls starting and A.J. Springer entering in relief. The two are so different it presents a problem for the defense and Beach wants to keep using that to his team's advantage.
Chaffey has other offensive weapons though. Running back Mark Chase, ranks eighth in the state in rushing at 101.6 yards per game.
Aaron Mays has been the Panthers' top receiver but also ranks fourth in punt return average at 22.9 per try.
El Camino's James Coy ranks eighth in the state in passing at 223.8 yards per game. He also does the punting and is ranked second at 43.3 yards per kick.
The Warriors' kicking game is also solid with Brian Blumberg making seven of eight field goal tries, the longest of 40 yards.
"We need to contain the big play. We can't let them get easy scores quickly. We want to make them have to work for whatever they get," Beach said. "On the other side we need to be able to make a couple because that's what big games come down to."
Victor Valley (2-3, 2-0) and San Bernardino Valley (0-5, 0-2), both in the Mountain Conference of the American Division, are idle this week.
All the area SCIAC teams will be in action with Pomona-Pitzer (1-2, 0-0) traveling to Cal Lutheran (2-1, 1-0) for a 1 p.m. showdown and Claremont-Mudd-Scripps (1-2, 0-1) hosting La Verne (0-3, 0-1) at 7 p.m.
The biggest game of the week will feature perennial title contenders Occidental (3-0, 1-0) and Redlands (3-0, 1-0) squaring off at 7 p.m. at Ted Runner Stadium.

I'm back! I'm finally back home in NYC after living with my boyfriend in San Mateo for the summer. Then I went on a really enjoayble cruise to Bermuda. Now that I'm home with a stocked kitchen again, I can cook whenever I want to. Cruises love to sell you things and alcohol is cheap on board. I got a bottle of Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum for $11, perfect for rum cake. Bermuda has a rum cake factory and we got to taste many flavors of rum cake. The only issue was the price! $12.95 for 4 oz of cake was too much so we ended up buying cheaper non-Bermudan rum cake on the ship as souvenirs for people. Once I got home, I knew I had to make a rum cake for us to enjoy.
I followed this recipe using only half the glaze to reduce the fat and alcohol factor. I also left out the nuts and used Pillsbury vanilla cake mix with pudding already in it. I highly recommend the recipe because it's easy and doesn't taste like box cake at all! Make sure you spray your bundt pan so it doesn't stick and poke holes into the cake with a skewer before glazing it. Half the recipe of glaze makes a nice outer coating of rum flavor but the inside is not saturated. For a more saturated cake, use the full recipe of glaze. The cake is moist and full of flavor.

There are changes to the way our children's social care services are running at the moment, because of COVID-19. These changes include: assessments being completed virtually, socially distanced face to face meetings, some services only being available over the phone or email and some of our staff needing to wear PPE (personal protective equipment)
Young carers look after a family member such as a parent, brother, sister or other relative or they might care for a family friend. The person may live in the same house as the young carer or somewhere else.
Young carers provide physical care, emotional support, carry out domestic tasks like cooking and cleaning or provide child care. They may also do things like pay the household bills or translate for relatives who don't speak English.
Half of all young carers provide up to 10 hours of care a week, while many others are caring for more than 50 hours a week. It's not surprising that young carers often struggle to fit in other activities like school work, playing sport or meeting up with friends.
The things you have to do at home may affect your schoolwork and your friendships. You may also feel a bit down.
You don't have to cope on your own if you're looking after an adult or a child in your family.
Young Carers can also apply for an ID Card Scheme to help them be recognised by professionals in their caring role.
Your school or college may have a 'young carers' champion' – a member of staff whose job it is to help students like you. Or you can talk to someone at school or college who you like and trust. It could be a teacher or another member of staff. You can speak to them or give them a letter from home.
Whoever you speak to will be able to make sure that the school knows about and understands your situation. They can:
You can get a young carer's assessment if you're 18 years old or younger though Rutland's Referral Assessment and Intervention Service.
An assessment can be requested by phoning the team on 01572 758493. The team will send someone to your home to talk to you about your situation and work out how we can help you and your family. The person you care for may also need an assessment.
If you and the person you look after both agree, we will look at what help we can give the person you look after. This can include:
We will also look at what you want and need outside home, for example:
After the assessment, we will give you a plan for the things we will help you with and we will regularly check your progress.
Little Stars, Young Stars and TOFU are groups for young carers. They enable you as a young carer to:
Little Stars is for children aged from 5-8 , Young Stars is for children aged 8-12 and TOFU is for young people aged 13 and over.
If you would like to join either group, please complete the contact form and return to email@example.com
Find and talk with us online, or contact us directly by online form or email

A survey by ABP and C-Voter has predicted a decisive advantage in favour of the Congress in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh in the upcoming assembly elections.
According to the survey, in the 200-seat Rajasthan assembly, the Congress is expected to sweep the polls by winning 146 seats. The ruling BJP is expected to win just 56 seats. Two are likely to be won by other parties.
In Madhya Pradesh, where Shivraj Singh Chouhan has converted the state into his own citadel, the BJP is likely to fall short of majority for the first time in over a decade. In the 230-seat assembly, the survey said, the Congress will secure a comfortable majority by winning 122 seats. The saffron party has been predicted to win just 108 seats.
It seems that the BSP's Mayawati may not play any decisive role. The BSP supremo last week had announced to go alone in the polls without an alliance with the Congress.
In Chhattisgarh too, there is a good news for the Congress, according to the ABP News-CVoter survey. In the 90-seat state assembly, the Congress is expected to win 47 seats, while 40 seats appear to be going to the BJP.
The Election Commission on Saturday announced the poll dates for the three states. While Madhya Pradesh will go to polls on 28 November, Chhattisgarh will have two-phase elections. The first phase of polling will take place on 12 November, while the remaining 72 seats in the northern Chhattisgarh will see elections on 20 November.
As for Rajasthan, elections here will take place on 7 December along with Telangana.

Caesarstone Reveal 2015 at The Glass Factory
Last night, over 730 of Toronto's design and build industry professionals were on hand at The Glass Factory to take in Caesarstone's new Spring 2015 collection at the Reveal 2015 event. Local artists created live art mural overtop the seven new Caesarstone designs: Statuario Nuvo, Cosmopolitan White, Symphony Grey, Urban Safari, Taj Royale, Fresh Concrete, and Raw Conrete. A bar that included premium Grey Goose cocktails and Perrier sparkling water (for the designated drivers, of course!) was complemented by passed hors d'oeuvres while DJ Tricky Moreira kept the vibe going until the party ended in the early hours of the morning. Read about last year's event here.

Are you a business person or simply someone seeking to employ yourself? Have you considered starting an online business in Kenya? If not, then this is for you. We are living in a contemporary world where businesses are no longer defined by geographical boundaries or demographics.
Traditionally, the only way people would know your business is bypassing outside your offices and seeing the small poster that you had placed outside. Things went to radio and television advertisement among others including billboards.
However, all that is part of the traditional way of doing things. Any serious business person should be in the processor at least considering to go online.
In the modern era, almost every adult or youth has a smartphone and access to the internet. As such, taking your business online brings it to the screens of millions of people searching for services and goods online. The internet allows you to reach more people than you would ever manage using traditional methods of advertising.
Kenyans are innovative and hardworking, as such, many of them are already leaping huge from investing in online businesses. I hear your woes that you do not have any background on IT.
I tell you what, I did hospitality management but my life is built on IT right now even without attending a single IT class. The bottom line is, anyone who knows to use a mouse and the keyboard can make a living out of online businesses.
In this guide, I will take you through starting an online business in Kenya. As you might know, online businesses are the future of just about any business that exists.
In Africa, Kenya is one of the countries that benefit from lite internet which explains why Kenya is the African silicon Savannah. Just like a conventional business, capital is needed to start an online business.
However, online businesses are cheaper to start since some expenses like physical offices or inventory are eliminated. Statistically, an online business done right stands a better chance of growing than a conventional business.
How to Start an online business in Kenya
If you have some basic IT skills, you can follow this process of starting an online business in Kenya all by yourself. If you do not have any IT skills, there is no reason to worry, simply continue reading this article for a step by step guide.
You Probably have a nice business idea, passion and dedication but you don't have enough money to pay for all the basic requirements for setting up a typical store in town, start an online shop!
You know, in today's world of e-Commerce basically, anything and everything can be sold over the internet. One of the most significant benefits of venturing into e-commerce is the ability to reach out to a wider customer base among other advantages such as low startup costs and 24/7service provision.
Here is what you need for starting an online business in Kenya
Step 1: Find Goods, product or services to Sell Online
This is where some basic research will be necessary. Ensure that you chose a product or a service that will be marketable and in demand. In e-commerce, you give people what they are looking for from the internet.
This is where your decision should be led by logic rather than optimism. If people are looking for apples, give them an apple, don't try to sell them lemons or you will give up in the process.
Finding the right kind of products to sell online is one of the most important aspects of starting an online store.
Ideally, you want to find products that people are looking for that cannot be found in ordinary shops in quantity or variety. In addition, you want to find a niche that is very specialized and narrow.
Do I need a Business License Starting an online business in Kenya?
This depends on how you look at it. Licensing is very crucial if you are looking at growing your business in the long run.
Licensing will help you acquire the much-needed business loans from banks since your online business will be acknowledged as legal.
However, some people would avoid registering their online businesses to avoid paying taxes.
NB: It should be noted that this can attract penalties and liabilities once the government catches up with you
Step 2: Find a Domain name and Webhost
By now I am assuming that you have already settled on the type of business you want to run. The next step should be choosing a domain name that is short, memorable and catchy. Of importance, it should be related to the business you have chosen. Once you find an available domain name, register it and choose a reliable WebHost to host the site for you.
What you should be looking for in a Webhost
- Should have good technical support
- They should offer the features needed to run your online store
- It should have a decent uptime of at least 99% uptime
NB: Most of the time, cheaper web host providers will have poor reliability or slow performance because they thrust too many websites onto a single server.
Of importance, choose a skilled web designer like Nabaleka to put up a website for you preferably using WordPress.
Step 3: Select a Shopping Cart
Now we are past the process of registering your domain name, and signing up for web hosting. Probably, you have also established where you are going to get your stock from. It is now time to start working on your online storefront.
Remind your web designer to select a shopping cart system that is appropriate for your use. Nabaleka digital design already knows the best options to choose from.
However, since we are generous with information, here are the important features that you should be looking for in an online shopping cart.
- Single page checkout
- Coupons/Gift vouchers
- SEO friendly URLs
Step 4: Choose the appropriate Online Payment Plugin
You are selling goods and not giving them out. This is why you will need a payment option that people will pay you through ones they buy something from your already set online shop. There are many different ways to accept payments online in Kenya. Some of the most popular payment options include PayPal, Credit Cards, PesaPal and M-Pesa.
Step 5: Time to finish upsetting your Online Shop
By now you have a vacant room in the internet that is waiting for you to fill it with products. Envision it like an empty mall because it can hold hundreds of thousands of products. Now all you need to do is to make sure people come in numbers.
- Make sure you have included the name, contact and location details of your company
- You can play around with the colour of your shop to suit your unique style
- Use tactics like SEO, Social Media and Email marketing
- Do a bit of off-line marketing
- Convert some of your closest friends into your first customers
That, my friends is how you build a mall on space. Still if the steps were hard to follow, be sure to contact Nabaleka.com the digital experts.

Those of you who have tasted the good, original Quinquina Dubonnet that is actually made in France can never go back to the stuff that has been under license in Kentucky for about 75 years. Drinks writers like David Embury and others decried the blatantly different taste and quality between the two. Why do you suppose American drinks containing Dubonnet suddenly stopped being made in anything like the previous numbers around 1940?
Well, if you are like me and are willing to pay the price of getting a trans-Atlantic every now and then (combining enough key products a large enough order to mitigate the shipping costs), there is good news! The Whisky Exchange in London, for a while out of stock, now has authentic, French-produced Dubonnet ready to ship!
WARNING: Don't purchase the so-called Dubonnet Blanc on the Whisky Exchange website. The French producer has never made a "blanc." What the Whisky Exchange is selling as the blanc is the American product. It was invented in the U.S.A. and is just as crappy, in my opinion, as their other product called 'Dubonnet.'
