Whether squeezing onto the 4 train or pedaling through Lower Manhattan, I notice a few curious glances at the bike with the big battery in the center of the frame. This is not surprising; e-bikes are huge practically everywhere but the US. According to the latest figures from the Confederation of the European Bicycle Industry, e-bike growth in the UK is up from 40,000 units in 2016 to 63,000 in 2017.
All classes of electric-assisted bicycles may be operated on a fully controlled limited access highway. Class 1 and 2 electric bicycles can be used on sidewalks, but Class 3 bicycles "may not be used on a sidewalk unless there is no alternative to travel over a sidewalk as part of a bicycle or pedestrian path."[143] Generally a person may not operate an electric-assisted bicycle on a trail that is designated as non-motorized and that has a natural surface, unless otherwise authorized.
Ebike definition in Colorado follows the HR 727 National Law: Template:Convert e-power and Template:Convert max, 2 or 3 wheels, pedals that work. Legal low powered Ebikes are allowed on roads and bike lanes unless the city or county has passed laws to the contrary (Boulder city bans ebikes over 400W from bike lanes and all ebikes from bike paths) -none -(except Boulder city) have to date. Bicycles and Ebikes are disallowed on certain high speed highways and all Interstates unless signed as "Allowed" in certain rural Interstate stretches where the Interstate is the ONLY means of travel. [35] Unless the locality has specifically passed laws making ebikes illegal on sidewalks or trails, Ebikes are legal. However most business and shopping districts do not allow riding bikes or ebikes on sidewalks. Boulder and a few other cities specifically dis-allow ebikes on their trail systems through legal statute.
The Ohio Revised Code 4511.01 [121] distinguishes motorized bicycles and mopeds from motorcycles or scooters by describing them as "...any vehicle having either two tandem wheels or one wheel in the front and two wheels in the rear, that is capable of being pedaled and is equipped with a helper motor of not more than fifty cubic centimeters piston displacement that produces no more than one brake horsepower and is capable of propelling the vehicle at a speed of no greater than twenty miles per hour on a level surface." One brake horsepower converts to 0.75 kW, or (rounded) 750W. Thus, a bicycle with an electric helper motor operating under 750W, and not propelling the bicycle over 20 mph, does not qualify to be registered under Ohio state law. Local jurisdictions may have other regulations.
DIY Kit ebikes – Ebikes that are home built with a DIY kit, and exceed the 750W/20mph definition, are also allowed to be bought, build, and ridden. DIY kits are throttle activated. Some of the newer systems have PAS options. Ebike kits are not unilaterally prohibited or assigned motor vehicle status, but again, legal classification and road use falls under state law.
There are no ADRs applicable to AA or AB category vehicles. There are ADRs for lighting, braking, noise, controls and dimensions for LA category vehicles, mostly referencing the equivalent UN ECE Regulations. An approval is required to supply to the market any road vehicle to which ADRs apply and an import approval is required to import any road vehicle into Australia.[5]
This upgraded model is the best scooter of this type that is currently available on the market. I have permanent mobility issues because of my left leg that do not allow me to walk any long distances. This scooter is allowing me to finally get out of the house to see and do some things again, even if that is just cruising around the neighborhood, but my main reason for purchasing it was so that I can go watch my granddaughters playing softball this spring, they are quite good.
By 1898 a rear wheel drive electric bicycle, which used a driving belt along the outside edge of the wheel was patented by Mathew J. Steffens. Also, the 1899 Template:US Patent by John Schnepf depicted a rear wheel friction "roller-wheel" style drive electric bicycle.[5] Schnepf's invention was later re-examined and expanded in 1969 by G.A. Wood Jr. with his Template:US Patent. Wood's device used 4 fractional horsepower motors; each rated less than ½ horsepower and connected through a series of gears.[6]
The release of Garmin's new Edge 520 Plus GPS bike computer made a big splash in the world of cycling. It was an impressive upgrade, likely a response to increasing competition from the likes of Wahoo. But the Garmin Edge 520 Plus upgrade has caused a little confusion, because it seems to offer the same mapping and navigation capabilities as the more expensive Edge 820 and 1030. We clear up the confusion with two in-depth posts, Garmin Edge 520 vs 520 Plus, and Garmin Edge 1030 vs 820 vs 520 Plus.
I've put almost1 thousand miles on the bike in 2 months, and so far I love it! Using the just electric mode only go about 12-13 miles an hour on level ground and I only weigh about 160. So it's not real powerful. But on pedal assist it works great up hills. It folds up quick and easy. It's a real pain putting the rear wheel back on if you get a flat so I recommend getting tire linners. It also would be nice if you could charge the battery off the bike. I think it's well worth the money! Great bike ! Its made it through lots of abuse even through miles of down pouring rain!
Some prohibitions also apply, such as on: carrying cargo that prevents keeping at least one hand on the handlebars or prevents proper use of brakes, riding no more than two abreast on a roadway or shoulder, and attaching the bicycle to another vehicle. Minn. Stat. § 169.222, subds. 3-5. The vehicles may be operated on a sidewalk except in a business district or when prohibited by a local unit of government, and must yield to pedestrians on the sidewalk. Minn. Stat. § 169.223, subd. 3. By default, electric-assisted bicycles are allowed on road shoulders as well as on bicycle trails, bicycle paths, and bicycle lanes.
For a more stylish ride, cast your eyes over the Coboc Rome. It's a full-size bike, with gorgeous stylings, and large wheels that let you pick up plenty of speed on the road. It has a fuss-free approach too, with its automatic motor assistance -- all you need to do is get on and ride. It's very much like any fixed gear bike you'll see on the streets, but with the additional motor, it's less effort to get about.
(ii) a vehicle equipped with two or three wheels, foot pedals to permit muscular propulsion, and an independent power source providing a maximum of 2 brake horsepower. If a combustion engine is used, the maximum piston or rotor displacement may not exceed 3.05 cubic inches, 50 centimeters, regardless of the number of chambers in the power source. The power source may not be capable of propelling the device, unassisted, at a speed exceeding 30 miles an hour, 48.28 kilometers an hour, on a level surface. The device must be equipped with a power drive system that functions directly or automatically only and does not require clutching or shifting by the operator after the drive system is engaged.
On October 5, 2009, the Government of Ontario brought in laws regulating electric bikes in the province. E-bikes, which can reach a speed of 32 kilometres per hour, are allowed to share the road with cars, pedestrians and other traffic throughout the province. The new rules limit the maximum weight of an e-bike to 120 kilograms, require a maximum braking distance of nine metres and prohibit any modifications to the bike's motor that would create speeds greater than 32 kilometres per hour. Also, riders must be at least 16 years of age, wear approved bicycle or motorcycle helmets and follow the same traffic laws as bicyclists. Municipalities are also specifically permitted by the legislation to restrict where e-bikes may be used on their streets, bike lanes and trails, as well as restricting certain types of e-bike (e.g. banning "scooter-style" e-bikes from bicycle trails). E-bikes are not permitted on 400-series highways, expressways or other areas where bicycles are not allowed. Riding an e-bike under the age of 16 or riding an e-bike without an approved helmet are new offences in the legislation, carrying fines of between $60 and $500. E-bike riders are subject to the same penalties as other cyclists for all other traffic offences.
The two most common types of hub motors used in electric bicycles are brushed and brushless. Many configurations are available, varying in cost and complexity; direct-drive and geared motor units are both used. An electric power-assist system may be added to almost any pedal cycle using chain drive, belt drive, hub motors or friction drive. BLDC hub motors are a common modern design. The motor is built into the wheel hub itself, and the stator fixed solidly to the axle, and the magnets attached to and rotating with the wheel. The bicycle wheel hub is the motor. The power levels of motors used are influenced by available legal categories and are often, but not always limited to under 750 watts.
I had gotten this to build an electric bike but I have never worked with wires before so I didn't realize that we needed to attach our own connectors to the wires. The person who I talked to at Joyisi was super nice and explained that to me and even offered to send me connectors for free. I had already ended up getting a different bike altogether though and so I just wanted to return the battery. But because I am returning it for my own reasons (as opposed to the battery being faulty), they would normally have me pay for return shipping and deduct the cost of shipping to me (which is a lot, because they are international) and the inspection fee from my refund, but they were super nice and offered to take on most of the costs and I would only have to pay for the return
Electric powered bicycles slower than 20 km/h without pedaling are legally recognized as a non-mechanically operated vehicle in China.[32] According to "TECHNOLOGY WATCH", this should help promote its widespread use.[33] Electric bicycles were banned in some areas of Beijing from August 2002 to January 2006 due to concerns over environmental, safety and city image issues. Beijing has re-allowed use of approved electric bicycles as of January 4, 2006.[34] Some cities in China still ban electric bikes.
These small complaints prove that the Rad Wagon isn't perfect. But its overwhelmingly positive qualities clearly outweigh the drawbacks. The Rad Wagon handled beautifully on city streets, accelerating with ease and maintaining a charge for extended range. Rad Power bikes also offers an array of helpful accessories—think racks, baskets, panniers, and platforms—that make the bike nearly as convenient as a car. Time and time again I passed cars stuck in traffic on their daily commute and couldn't help but wondering: Why don't more people switch from cars to an e-bike?
Bicycles and horse buggies were the two mainstays of private transportation just prior to the automobile, and the grading of smooth roads in the late 19th century was stimulated by the widespread advertising, production, and use of these devices.[9] More than 1 billion bicycles have been manufactured worldwide as of the early 21st century.[1][2][3] Bicycles are the most common vehicle of any kind in the world, and the most numerous model of any kind of vehicle, whether human-powered or motor vehicle, is the Chinese Flying Pigeon, with numbers exceeding 500 million.[1] The next most numerous vehicle, the Honda Super Cub motorcycle, has more than 60 million units made, while most produced car, the Toyota Corolla, has reached 35 million and counting.[4][5][6][32]
An anti-theft radio GPS that mounts to standard bottle cage bosses and can locate within 9 feet, it runs on the Verizon network and costs $5/mo in addition to the hardware. Integrated vibration sensing alarm sends an automated text message alerting you anytime the bike has been "locked" using the companion smartphone application (Android or iOS)...
Let's face it – Commuting can be a nightmare. Seemingly infinite price hikes, delays to trains, crammed tubes and congested roads dominate the ways of getting to work. The commuter misery is real. But, what if you could transform this part of the day from a chore to a pleasure? Enter the eBike. The clean, … Continue reading Why an eBike is so good for commuting
This year was busy at Haibike's EUROBIKE stand. The reason: the new FLYON series, which we could only admire behind glass. The new bikes are the spearhead of Haibike's eMTB development with an exciting and unprecedented level of integration and connectivity. They have a specially developed display, their own remote and, thanks to a 5,000 lumen headlight, are able to turn night into day. To make the rider visible at all times, taillights are neatly integrated into the frame. The bikes also come with the most powerful motor currently available on the market, from TQ Systems. We are sure that many will buy this bike not only for its performance but also as a status symbol.
Being member of European Economic Area (EEA), Norway implemented the European Union directive 2002/24/EC. This directive defined legal ebikes for all EU and EEA countries to "Cycles with pedal assistance which are equipped with an auxiliary electric motor having a maximum continuous rated power of 0.25 kW, of which the output is progressively reduced and finally cut off as the vehicle reaches a speed of 25 km/h or if the cyclist stops pedaling." The definition became part of Norwegian vehicle legislation[17] in 2003. A more detailed specification will become effective when the new European ebike product safety standard EN 15194 is published in 2009.
Tires vary enormously depending on their intended purpose. Road bicycles use tires 18 to 25 millimeters wide, most often completely smooth, or slick, and inflated to high pressure in order to roll fast on smooth surfaces. Off-road tires are usually between 38 and 64 mm (1.5 and 2.5 in) wide, and have treads for gripping in muddy conditions or metal studs for ice.
In Opinion No. 2007-00602 of the Attorney General, Jim Hood clarified that a "bicycle with a motor attached" does not satisfy the definition of "motor vehicle" under Section 63-3-103. He stated that it is up to the authority creating the bike lane to determine if a bicycle with a motor attached can be ridden in bike lanes. No specifications about the motor were made.
By 2001 the terms, E-Bikes, power bike, pedelec, assisted bicycle and power-assisted bicycle where commonly used to describe electric bicycles. E-bike, according to Google, is a term that has increased in trend. This term generally referred to an electric bicycle which used a throttle. The terms Electric Motorbike or E-Motorbike have been used to describe more powerful models which attain up to 80 km/h.
Powered by a 250-watt Brose Centerdrive system, the Redux is capable of reaching speeds of up to 28 mph, which comes in handy when dodging traffic. The lithium-ion battery provides enough juice to give the bike a range of up to 80 miles between recharges, making it a great option for daily commuters. Raleigh even outfitted the bike with wide tires which provide stability and traction, even when the road gets wet. Other key features include a 10-speed Shimano crankset and shifters and a built-in LCD screen that displays all the usual information.
Both the Stromer and the Stoeckli are very nice looking designs and easy to handle. Reliability for both does not seem to be up to Swiss standards, e.g. some of the 2012 Stöcklis seem to have bad contacts. However, as of 2013, most of these problems should be fixed. The Cube got criticized for its battery/saddle system, but this has probably been fixed in more recent edition and it has less "punch" then the other's since the motor is smaller (324W?). I don't know about the BH Neo Nitro. Given the relatively low price of the BH Nitro, it may be the best buy in this category if you plan to cover smaller distances (the battery is limited to 9Ah, and Spain's industry does need some help ;) Anyhow, all of these models come with a variety of motors and country-specific modifications. E.g. in France, the BH Nitro comes with a 350W motor and is electronically limited to 25km/h, whereas in Switzerland you either can get a 500W - 45 km/h version or a 250W? - 25km/h version.
There are individuals who claim to have lost considerable amounts of weight by using an electric bike.[62] A recent prospective cohort study however found that people using e-bikes have a higher BMI.[63] By making the biking terrain less of an issue, people who wouldn't otherwise consider biking can use the electric assistance when needed and otherwise pedal as they are able.[64] This means people of lower fitness levels or who haven't cycled in many years can start enjoying the many health benefits E-bikes have to offer.

Do you apply an unscented moisturizing lotion to your skin prior to applying scent? That might improve performance.
I'm back and have had great difficulty finding a male cologne/parfume that last the day or evening. I have tried many brands, including very expensive ones (Tom Ford Noir, Kirkdijian, Creed, and others). All smelled wonderful when applied, but disappeared quickly...Tom Ford Noir in 20 minutes. I do not have any special skin or temperature problem. Body chem is normal. No oils used or scented soap.
The only lasting fragrances are original Aramis, and Terre DHermes parfume. Aramis last much longer than the Terre. I would like a new fragrance to last at least 5-6 hours. Many were helpful the last time I posted...I'm trying again.
Most try to sell me on another Tom Ford, such as Patchouli? Perhaps there is something in Aramis and Terre that really works with my bio-chem physiology. Also, how does one find the original Aramis; is it still produced?
All help would be appreciated.

Maybe spray more.
I spray on my undershirt and rarely complain about performance. Having said that, Amouage fragrances are generally especially good performers.
Spray clothing or spray further away from your nose, nose fatigue happens and others clearly smell you.
Also adding Terre d'Hermes Intense Vetiver
- Interlude
- Mancera Red Tobacco
- Mancera Aoud Vanille
- A*men
- Joop! Homme (vtg)
- Bogart pour homme
- Rasasi Shuhrah
- Dior Homme Parfum
- Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille
All good fragrances imo and if these do not last on you, we have a problem....
My Top '11' :
- Dolce & Gabbana: Pour Homme (vtg)
- Paco Rabanne: Pour Homme (vtg)
- Azzaro: Pour Homme (vtg)
- Tom Ford: Ombré Leather
- Guerlain: Héritage (vtg)
- Mancera: Red Tobacco
- YSL: Kouros (Fraîcheur)
- Armani: Acqua di Gio Profumo
- MPG: Santal Noble
- Hermes: Terre d'Hermes
- Amouage: Interlude

I'm surprised TdH Parfum lasted longer on you than TF Noir.
I'd also say anosmia has a part to play here.
Spraying sides or back of neck typically works well for me. Also, lighter sprays under your shirt so you don't overdo it.
Some Creeds last longer than others, or are more notable than others. E.g. Original Santal lasted exceptionally strongly on me.
Xerjoff tend to do heavy-hitting fragrances, as do Ajmal or Arabian Oud.
thanks for the suggestion.
thanks for the suggestions.
Depends what ya like ?
If you like Aramis , how about Givenchy Gentleman(1974) - a rip roaring riot of patchouli and other long performing goodies.
Kouros perhaps?
Big performers for me : all last a good day + more on clothing
Lalique Pour Homme - citrus lavender cedar vanilla
Lalique White - lemony peppery cedary with piquant tamarind
Polo Green - heavy hitter greens with leather and tobacco
Pour Lui ODLR - an orchestra floral, woods, spices leather
Paco Rabanne PH - dry green

So a while back I mentioned the big brookie and the carp I caught by hand. They're connected by similar mysterious behavior.
The brookie was more dramatic. I was fishing my favorite trout stream, and trying to work some pocket water that I was always sure held trout but could never find any in. Something big hit my nymph and took off. I set myself for a tough fight, especially given the tricky footing and quick water. Very soon after the hookset, though, I saw my line angle toward a small boulder and then go tight under it. I could still feel the fish throbbing on my line, so I kept slack out and waded to the boulder.
I've caught fish before (usually bass) where I've had to free the line from tangles or wait for the fish to back out of weeds (sometimes you can induce this, at least on spinning gear, by plucking your line like a guitar string). This fish, though, had just cannonballed right under a boulder and stopped. When I reached it, I reached down and grabbed it near the tail and pulled it out. To my surprise, it was a gorgeous brookie about 15 inches long. Somehow it had wedged its head under the boulder and seemed unsure how to get out. I turned it loose and it seemed fine. I'm not sure how bright it was (especially given that it managed to get itself caught by me), but I'm not sure why else it would end up in such a predicament.
The carp was a little stranger, and I feel like I probably did something wrong. I was smallmouth fishing in my home county, working a stretch of water with Dad that, while productive, was more notable for the climb involved in exiting the river. I was upstream from him a ways when I caught site of a carp with its head in some weeds. I couldn't figure out how to make a cast, given that it's head was in the weeds.
I crept closer, and it didn't move. It was wiggling a little bit, or I'd have thought it was dead. I got close enough to poke it with my rod tip, but it didn't respond. I clambered up on a rock next to it and couldn't figure it out. It looked stuck. As far as I could tell, it wasn't spawning or anything. It just had managed to get its head (and gills, if I remember right) stuck on some weeds. I grabbed it by the tail and under the belly and lifted it up and back out of the weeds. I helped it revive, and watched it swim off. Then it struck me that I had perhaps intervened in some natural event I shouldn't have, but I'm not sure what that could have been (other than imminent death).
I'd be happy to hear any thoughts on this situation.
There it is. Two fish that managed to get their heads stuck. One a big brook trout in a cold, fast stream while hooked; the other an average-sized carp in a slow, warm river, apparently on its own. I still think both were a little weird.

Ralph Nader: Fighting for Democracy | Link TV
Ralph Nader: Fighting for Democracy
Nader draws from a lifetime waging—and often winning—David vs. Goliath battles against big corporations and the United States government. In this succinct, Tom Paine-style wake-up call, the iconic consumer advocate highlights the success stories of fellow Americans who organize change and work together to derail the many ways in which wealth manipulates politics, labor, media, the environment and the quality of national life today. Nader makes an inspired case about how the nation can—and must—be democratically managed by communities guided by the U.S. Constitution, not by the dictates of big businesses and the wealthy few.

The city of Wichita Falls filed a petition to the 30th District Court last week as part of the gang injunction program that was started in 2006.
The new injunction was filed to add 18 alleged gang members to the list. The new members added to the list may not have been old enough or committed gang-related crimes to be on the original injunction.
The injunction was designed to help reduce gang-related crimes in Wichita Falls.
"The first injunction was filed in August of 2006 and the reason it was filed is because in the summer of 2005 there was, I believe, 56 shootings or gang activity that summer alone," said Criminal District Attorney Maureen Shelton.
Since 2006, the police department has noticed a difference in gang-related crimes.
"We have seen a significant decrease. Not only in the safety zones that we've placed them but throughout the entire city. It fluctuates year-to-year on how much it has dropped but it is pretty significant 35 plus percent in crime reduction that was involved in gangs," said Chief of Police Manuel Borrego.
Due to the restrictions, some feel it is violating their constitutional rights. But Borrego says that is not the case.
"As long as your not involved with criminal activity, you can continue to live your life without the police being involved with you, but if you are on the injunction and you violate the law and continue your criminal episodes then we are going to be involved with you," Borrego said.
To be put on the list, the police department has a process they go through.
"We have to identify you as a gang member, one way or another, whether you've admitted it, whether we've seen you associates, there's a lot of ways we can identify you as a gang member," Borrego said.
Once you have been added to the list, it is a lengthy process to get yourself off.
"The gang injunctions last 10 years typically and so if you are on it for 10 years then we would have to file another gang injunction to extend," said Criminal District Attorney Shelton.
The gang injunction has been a joint effort with the city and county. Now almost 100 gang members have injunctions.

Your TIN (Tax Identification Number) is either your Social Security Number (SSN), Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN) or your Employer Identification Number (EIN). You can find your SSN on your Social Security card. You can find your ITIN on the CP565 notice from the IRS that assigned your ITIN. You can find your EIN on the CP575A notice from the IRS that assigned your EIN. Be sure to verify that the TIN you enter is your correct TIN.
SellHealth — SellHealth is a health affiliate network. It's free for affiliates to join, should their applications be accepted. All of SellHealth's sales are made through company-owned websites, meaning affiliates don't need to facilitate sales on their own sites. This eliminates the possibility of error and increases consumer trust, as they are sent to a legitimate brand site to complete their purchases.
Can you make money with affiliate marketing? The short answer is yes, affiliate programs can earn a extra money and even a full-time income from home. The long answer is a little more complicated. Like any home income venture, success comes not so much from what you choose to do to make money, but whether or not you do what needs to be done correctly and consistently.
Hi Jamie! Thank you for the great information. I just learned about affiliate marketing last week. The source however, is an older couple who work for World Wide Dreams Builders (WWDB). So, basically Amway. After researching a bit. I have no interest in WWDB and. (It sounds like years of recruiting people with minimal payout) Though, I am highly intrigued by e-commerce and affiliate marketing. Before your post the company I recognized was Amazon. Can you please tell me if that will be the best 1st step. I am currently an unemployed student Veteran. So plan to fully emerge into this business regime and would greatly appreciate your advice on this!!!
Certain states have a sales amount that creates an affiliate nexus. For example in Maine, once affiliate sales, plus sales from any other in-state promotions, have reached a total of $10,000 or more in a 12 month period, a nexus has been created in that state. You may want to stop a program when that sales cap is met, or only select states that have a very high sales cap. With the rates this low in Maine, it might be easier to not offer an affiliate program in that state – just like Amazon did earlier this year.
With 80% of Internet users regularly browsing the web on a mobile device and Google's recent decision to reduce the search engine ranking of websites that aren't optimised for smaller screens, it's become essential that your website is mobile friendly. You can test here if your website is considered mobile friendly by Google. We wrote a post all about 'Mobilegeddon' here.
There are so many sites available on the web. Some of them look identical, some other aren't even worth a mention. Wonder why? That's always a good idea to learn from the example of the most impressive and successful web designs. There must be something in their designs that attract the target audiences and makes their websites stand out from the competition.
For me I would choose a program with Recurring commission. You can build a real passive income. Its the best way to go! One suggestion is contact companies who sell services and ask if you can sell their service for them. Sometimes popular affiliate programs like these have just way too many people trying to sell their service. I personally went to sitecare.ca and asked them if I could sell their service and I couldn't be happier! So find a service you believe in and go for it!
When someone enters a search query into a search engine about something relevant to your company, obviously you want to be one of the first results displayed. So how do you make this happen? Essentially, you need to make your website more appealing to search engines. Do this by using keywords that are commonly searched, backlinking your site, customizing the headline and description, etc.
Does your site contain all the basics? Hours, phone number and address… all pertinent contact information. Is it easy to navigate? Allow secure purchases? Is it secure – do you see HTTPS:// in the address bar? For the tourist industry, does it allow a secure purchase of gift certificates? Invite comments or reviews? (You can learn a lot from a contact us page.) If you are a restaurant, do you have your menus, special events, directions, banquet menus online? Do you visually sell the restaurant? Allow online sign up for email specials? What about takeout menus? An email sign up would be perfect for this if it is a big part of your business. Does the site list a dress code? How to make a reservation? And don't forget added benefits for you: links to other area businesses, employment opportunities, printable employment applications. Good Internet marketing will impress your market audience and provide you with a website that does more than look pretty.
Use Private Groups For Employees — It's a great idea for your company to integrate your employees into your Social Media strategy. Start a closed group and make it mandatory for all employees to join the group. Encourage your employees to use the group to discuss work events, schedule changes, and anything else going on in your business. This open line of communication builds strong work relationships, and will help you in more ways then you think.

The problem with affiliate marketing, like many other home business options, are the so-called gurus and get-rich-quick programs that suggest affiliate marketing can be done fast and with little effort. Odds are you've read claims of affiliate marketing programs that say you can make hundreds of thousands of dollars a month doing almost nothing ("Three clicks to rich!"). Or, they suggest you can set up your affiliate site, and then forget it, except to check your bank deposits.
SEO can admittedly be a complicated and time consuming process, however the time needs to be spent here to ensure your website is getting found. Your best bet is usually going to be spending a bit more of your budget and hiring the right people to do the proper research. At Ciplex, we stress the importance of not including keywords to simply rank your site, but using the terms your audience is looking for. That is what will get you the highest conversion rates.

Gary Vaynerchuk says that in order to be effective, you have to market like the year you actually live in. In five years, marketing will be different, and what is successful now may not work. Doing things the way we've always done things is not always effective, so marketers need to do what works right now. In 1997 Vaynerchuk was selling wine with an email list while most companies were still using fax. When Google Adwords came out, he was the first to advertise to people searching for "wine." He was able to grow his store from a $3 million business to $60 million with his innovative tactics and by using current marketing.
No matter whether you cater to B2B or B2C, one thing is a fact: Your prospects go online when they have problems to solve. Don't be afraid to help them solve those problems ... in fact, get in the habit of providing significant value to prospects before making a cent. This builds the trust you need to position your business for later sales, especially if you have tough competition.

For those who want to figure out how to sell Amazon products and make money off it, this course on 2017 Affiliate Marketing + SEO Strategy could be ideal for you. It's a quick course that teaches how to build an amazon affiliate website, brushes you on the latest SEO techniques but may not be enough if you are looking at an advanced curriculum. Details here.
If you are brought to this screen, it has been determined, based on your previous inputs that you need to complete the U.S. IRS Form 8233 . This form is used to claim treaty benefits on dependent and independent personal services performed by an individual. Reference the IRS Instructions for additional guidance. If you require additional assistance, please consult a U.S. tax advisor.
I was just reading your article and it seems like all of these experts are pointing primarily towards this one course – Wealthy Affiliate. Do you have anymore information about this course? What is it exactly and how does it work? Furthermore, I actually have a bit of experience myself with Affiliorama and I find that it's so tough because of all the information. I get so overwhelmed. Is Wealthy Affiliate better in terms of this?

By Bi5MiLl4hRunamuckfestival. Bar Stools. At Sunday, November 11th 2018, 02:57:21 AM.
Bar stools are intended primarily for bars and restaurants. But over the past few years these stools have become very popular for home owners too and many home owners are using them in their homes, especially in their kitchen or in a private bar. These stools are available in different materials to provide you with a high level of strength and durability and a stylish look to your home. In addition you can also find these chairs in different colors, textures and designs.
Red stools are a great choice simply because they will fit in with almost any environment. There are many different shades of red, one of them being maroon. As you are choosing your stool, it would be a good idea to make sure that it fits in with not only the surroundings, but also the lighting that you have chosen.
One simple way to update your bar decor is to bring in some new bar stools. These will add a focal point to your pub that guests will appreciate. There are however, many things to consider before picking out your bar stool.

Do you want to know the friendliest places to work? Well, high street retailers are voted as the happiest places to work. The first prize went to TK Maxx. WH Smith and Debenhams walked away with second and third price respectively. Glassdoor, the job website, has interesting comments about the retailers who walked away with the top prizes. What were things that customers found attractive about them? Atmosphere, the behavior of the managers, discounts offered to the staff by the retailers, canteen subsidy and flexible time-off options.
Employee engagement and happiness are widely being discussed when it comes to the retail industry at the moment. Communications chief at Glassdoor weighed talked about the priorities of job seekers. As we all know, career prospects, better pay, etc. are still big factors when it comes to choosing a company for many.
However, he adds that a friendly boss is a big factor for many when it comes to sticking to a certain job. They also said that having friends at work influenced them to favor the company more. If you don't know already, the retail sector is the biggest job provider in the UK at the moment. So, the work atmosphere makes a big difference in the lives of millions of workers.

Fortunately, there are countless of tools available to help you improve your site's performance.
Ideally, your WordPress site should already include tools that are essential to your web page's success. These tools featured below are some of the best tools and resources that every WordPress blog owners should use to build a killer website.
1. Meridian Themes

- What are the pages they visit on your site
- What browser and device they use
- How long or short are they staying on your site
When you know this information, you can then proceed in optimizing your site. Without these things, you may never truly understand the purpose and value of the site you are building, especially if you are don't know if someone visits your site
6. Google Search Console
Google Search Console or Google Webmasters is another free service that Google offers to website owners to properly monitor their site's performance in the search engine ranking and make informed decisions on what to do on their site.
Make sure to install this as soon as you make your site goes live as this is also where Google will send you messages regarding your site; recommendations, errors, or if your site has been hacked. Some other reports that you don't want to miss are the Internal Links Report, Mobile Usability, sitemaps, and links to your site.
7. Bing Webmaster
Finally, using Bing Webmaster along with Google Webmaster is a smart move. Being the second largest search engine in the market, not optimizing your site for Bing users would be foolish. Even though Bing accounts for about 20% – 30% traffic on your site, that's still a significant traffic you wouldn't want to use.
Bing Webmaster provides you with additional reports for more testing opportunities. To give you a holistic view of your site performance, getting your website's information from many sources could help you leverage against the competition.
Even as a new owner of a site, you are no longer limited to resources that can help you in so many ways. As mentioned, WordPress already provides you with its suggestions. On the other hand, some tools surpass others, even the most famous ones, regarding performance.
WordPress has always been a leader when it comes to building pages, and it's just right that you utilize all the best tools available for you to create your most excellent website.

Kenya and Nigeria Lead Africa in Transparency and Data Sharing in the Real Estate Market
Kenya and Nigeria lead African markets in terms of transparency and data sharing in the real estate market, according to a study by real estate investment company Jones Lang LaSalle.
Data Sharing and Transparency to Boost African Growth
Data collection is at the heart of the growth of the African real estate market as it enables outside investors to gain insight into these markets as well as provide a level of investor confidence that emerging markets investors need.
There are a lot of efforts underway to drive data transparency across Africa. For example, the 9th Annual API Summit & Expo – taking place in Johannesburg on September 20 and 21, 2018 – aims to bring together data experts across Africa and the world to share insights on best practices in data collection.
Nonetheless, data experts continue to face challenges in data collection in Africa. Some data collected is completely obsolete while other data can be very dynamic. The hope is that the summit will create a forum where data experts from across the globe can learn from each other and can help to drive data transparency. This will mean that no country gets to hold data hostage from the rest as they all benefit from the sharing.
Different African markets thrive in various industries and creating a platform for sharing of data will go a long way in stimulating growth across Africa.
The real estate growth in Kenya and Nigeria is a good example of how far data sharing impacts growth across markets, according to Jeremy Kelly, a director within the Global Research Programmes Team at Jones Lang LaSalle.
Countries can use data from other countries to make even 'smarter' decisions based on the key learnings that they get from the shared data. One country can not thrive in every single industry, hence the importance of continuously sharing data and driving that transparency. This will encourage data-backed decisions rather than making decisions based on intuition.
Blockchain and Data Transparency
While there are several technology solutions for data collection and storage, blockchain technology stands out as one of the most applicable due to its decentralised and immutable nature, which allows for the secure recording, storing and transfer of any type of data. It is not surprising, therefore, that several blockchain-based projects are on the way to record land titles across the continent.
"Africa has an opportunity at this point to utilise blockchain for land registries or transactions; 'smart' buildings and infrastructure for facilities management or repair; or new database capabilities for collaborative data sharing between market participants to jumpstart the traditional methods of improving market data and building real estate markets that are fit for the future," Kelly added.
First ETHGlobal Hackathon in Africa is Coming to Cape Town
The first ETHGlobal Hackathon in Africa will be held on April 19 to 21, 2019 at The Lookout, V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, South Africa.
ETHCapeTown 2019
Organised by ETHGlobal and Linum Labs, the event dubbed ETHCapeTown will see more than 200 international developers, hackers, and blockchain enthusiasts gather to work together to create Ethereum-based decentralised applications (DApps).
ETHGlobal aims to build an ecosystem of Ethereum developers and entrepreneurs with support from the Ethereum Foundation. Linum Labs is a Swiss blockchain development company with an office in South Africa.
Kartik Talwar of ETHGlobal said: "Ethereum development is growing fast, and it is valuable for the developer community in Cape Town to get together, discuss ideas, and push the envelope on what they themselves can do. And this is one of the goals of the hackathon – to simply give developers a place and time to build what they want and to see where their ideas take them."
ETHCapeTown will bring together people from different backgrounds with a wide range of skillsets where they can share ideas and develop original blockchain-based solutions.
"One of the most notable things we have noticed in the space is the incredible capacity at which developers utilize new tools during time-sensitive environments at hackathons to deliver decentralised solutions that can have real-world impact," said Devon Krantz of Linum Labs.
Cape Town: Africa's Growing Tech Hub
According to Linum Labs, the ETHGlobal Hackathon will highlight that Cape Town is setting the path for innovation on the continent.
"The ETHCapeTown hackathon is again proving how Cape Town is pioneering the way forward for innovation in Africa. The city's local tech hub is alive, thriving, and hungry to grow and position itself as a leading destination for emerging technologies," Krantz stated.
Cape Town has hosted blockchain events such as the Blockchain Africa Conference and Connecting the Blocks, and is home to several notable blockchain startups.
The ETHGlobal Hackathon will be graced by Ethereum co-founder, Vitalik Buterin, who will be the first official judge of the ETHCapeTown 2019 Hackathon.
Hackathon attendees will be exposed to some of the leading minds in the global blockchain industry and have the opportunity to win prizes for the solutions they build. Registration for the ETHGlobal Hackathon is open now.
Ghana's Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) Warns Public About Investing in Crypto
In a recent statement, the SEC of Ghana has warned the populace against investing in cryptocurrency and crypto-related investment schemes. This warning comes amidst a growing concern of the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) about how Ghanaians are diving head first into the cryptocurrency market.
SEC Warns About Crypto
The Director General of the SEC, Rev. Daniel Ogbarmey Tetteh, signed an official statement released by the Commission that cautions the general public about cryptocurrency trading and all crypto-related activities as these are not regulated by the Securities Exchange Commission reports News Ghana.
"[Cryptocurrency investments] offered by unregistered and unlicensed entities on digital online trading platforms with promises of high returns on investment are not sanctioned nor registered by the SEC", the statement read.
The Commission's statement further read:
"The SEC wishes to inform the general and investing public that none of these cryptocurrencies is recognised as currency or legal tender in Ghana. The platform on which they are traded are not also licensed nor regulated by the SEC. The SEC would like to make it clear that it does not currently regulate these types of products offerings and their accompanying online trading platforms or Exchanges. Members of the general public who are investing or intend to invest in such currencies or assets may be doing so at their own risk and can in no way be protected under the Securities law regime in Ghana."
Currently, digital asset trading remains a regulatory and legal grey area in the West African nation. Whereas the SEC has stated that it is presently not in support of or regulating cryptocurrencies, it also has not stated that cryptocurrency trading is illegal.
The regulator only mentions that they are "unregistered, unlicensed, and unregulated under the Securities Law of Ghana". Thus, this can be very much regarded as a "disclaimer" on the part of the regulatory body to the public to sensitise them that trading in cryptocurrencies in the country presently is only done at one's own risk.
Bamboo Capital Partners, Government of Togo and Moeda Seeds Bank Launch a Fintech Impact Fund
Bamboo Capital Partners, an impact investing platform, the Government of Togo, and Moeda Seeds Bank, a Brazilian micro-finance technology company, have announced the launch of a new fintech impact fund with a target portfolio of €100 million.
The new impact fund will be targeting companies that use new technologies, especially the blockchain, to solve problems in emerging markets.
The BLOC Fintech Impact Fund
On March 25, 2019, the BLOC fintech impact fund was announced at the Africa CEO Forum in Kigali, Rwanda. This fund is a collaborative effort between private companies and the government to help tackle social and environmental challenges in energy, education, FMCG, financial inclusion and the healthcare sector in Africa and other emerging markets.
This blended financing model enables the mixing of both public and private funds through a joint investment scheme, with each party deploying their expertise in a complementary way.
The BLOC Fund is the first impact fund in the world that uses blended finance to invest in companies that use new technologies, such as the blockchain, to benefit the low- and middle-income earners in emerging markets. The fund will accept investments in euros (EUR), US dollars (USD), and cryptocurrencies through a KYC platform to convert the digital currencies into either EUR or USD.
"Today, the BLOC Fund represents a new frontier for global technology impact funds. BLOC's blended finance approach will catalyse further investment and generate lasting impact in some of the poorest regions in the world," Florian Kemmerich, Managing Partner of Bamboo Capital Partners, said about the fund.
The Government of Togo and Moeda Seeds Bank have already made first loss capital commitments of €10 million to the fund.
Cina Lawson, Minister of Posts, Digital Economy and Tech Innovation, said: "Through this first loss commitment in the Fund, the President of Togo, his Excellency Mr. Faure Essozimna Gnassingbe, proves its willingness to foster the development of tech companies […] focused on achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. BLOC is the perfect investment vehicle to attract the most innovative international companies developing tech solutions which can improve the living conditions of people in Togo and across Africa."
Using Blockchain to Trace Investments in the Fund
Blockchain allows the creation of valid, immutable records, as well as driving operational efficiencies by removing intermediaries, to optimise accountability, monitoring, the measuring of results and impact.
Moeda Seeds Bank's expertise in the use of blockchain technology will help the fund create an architecture that ensures transparency and full traceability of investors' funds. Moeda already raised $20 million in an initial coin offering (ICO) in August 2017, and its digital token, MDA, is listed on several exchanges including Binance.
Bamboo Capital Partners, experienced in bridging the gap between seed and growth stage funding, will manage the BLOC Fund. Bamboo has raised over $370m for developing countries, impacting over 100 million lives and creating over 30,000 jobs through its investments in over 30 countries.
