text: I was reminded of the "hindsight bias" when I was co-facilitating a session this week. A simple definition of hindsight bias is the age-old expression "hindsight is 20/20." After the fact, it's easy to say, "It should have been obvious" or "I knew it all along." My associate was referencing the hindsight bias and the groundbreaking work being done by Todd Conklin in the field of human performance. I was thinking about how I could apply his work to all organizational settings. Mistakes are made. Things go wrong. How does your organization respond? If it defaults to the hindsight bias, it minimizes the learning. A team or an individual makes a mistake. The organizational response is, "You should have known better." The shaming associated with this response can be detrimental. It might inhibit people sharing what can be important information. The better approach after an incident or mistake is to ask the question, "How might the choices that were made at the time have seemed totally logical?" Oftentimes, incidents and mistakes are indicative of larger cultural and/or organizational issues. Taking the time to answer this question can help to identify systemic errors and transform a mistake to an opportunity to grow.

A lot of hype around Chatbot exists in the market. Almost all leading global brands have adopted it and rests are in the queue. More than a dozen Chatbot providers are on the way to lure enterprises, SMBs, and even startup invest in Chatbot integration.
Ecommerce businesses have grabbed a big chunk of Chatbot market with great adoption and apparent success. For instance,
- '1-800-Flowers' have experienced 70% of raise in new orders after Chatbot integration.
- Nitro Café has witnessed a 20% increase in sales & revenue with customized Chatbot.
- Sun's Soccer has reported 43% of CTR with Chatbot subscribers only.
- FB Messenger Chatbot has increased 300% of orders for Asos.
I don't want you to mess up with technicality involved in the integration of Chatbot products during eCommerce development or an existing online storefront.
For instance, Facebook offers easy to integrate Chatbot APIs for a range of leading ecommerce platforms such as Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce and a lot.
Therefore, I attempt to illustrate some useful ways to apply Chatbot in your ecommerce and increase sales during the holiday season.
How to Drive Customer Acquisition via Chatbot
Social media integrated Chatbot like Facebook Messenger helps you in customer acquisition thanks to its innovative offerings.
- Chat Bubbles have the universal appearance, and it is available in either compact form or full design.
- Product page button is an addition to the chat bubble and can customize in shapes, sizes, and CTA to be fitted in page contexts.
- Send message button on above the fold location help business to establish quick communications with followers.
- Ads to Bots setting helps business to start conversations with the Facebook users who hit the ads. It saves users to go to the landing page and pass through a sales funnel there. Holiday shoppers love such approaches a lot.
A significant benefit of social media native or integrated Chatbot is the user-data available instantly to the business as soon as a user begins any conversation through Chatbot. It eliminates form filling to get registration with business or making a payment. It is because of business access all under the curtain from Facebook account of the user.
How to Incentivize Sales
During holiday seasons, digital vouchers, coupons, and gift cards have magnetic impacts to bring huge traffic and resulting in high sales. Smart devices have eased the buying or gifting such digital incentives for the businesses as well as individual shoppers. Therefore, recent holidays have recorded the highest sales through gift cards.
Fortunately, Chatbot has capabilities to recognize, redeem, and convert such digital incentives into sales.
- Chatbot can help business to offer incentives through bubble, button, or ads while clicked by a user.
- Chatbot can deliver coupon code immediately or engage the user for a while through question or fun-stuff.
- When Chatbot delivers digital coupon code to a stranger, it immediately captures the user data in back-end and starts following it to know where the user redeem it.
- For repeat users, Chatbot brings highly personalized content and take approaches to turn shoppers into loyal customers listed in the loyalty program.
How to Offer Complete Personalization
Everyone on the planet loves personal approaches. Greet people with their actual names, learn their preferences and modify your offers accordingly. Check their behavior on your ecommerce store and assist them to hit their goals quickly and with delightful experiences.
Smart bots are capable of delivering everything you need for providing personalized experiences. Artificial Intelligence helps Chatbot to capture data of users in the background. Take help of analytics and based on analysis treats the users. The most interesting thing is that today almost all ecommerce websites are mobile-friendly and Chatbot can offer consistent experiences across the devices.
If you have created business pages or entity on various visual social media like Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest, you can integrate those pages with your messenger bot and convert comments on your social media posts into chat conversations. It helps in the quick acquisition and awesome personalization experiences.
Another tool for user acquisition and engagement is offering quizzes in Chatbot. Quizzes offer interactive, engaging, and fun experiences in messengers. It also enables businesses to capture user data and implement suitable customer acquisition and conversion experiences.
How to Optimize Decisions & Drive Conversions
It is true that we cannot read the mind of shoppers through indirect methods like obtaining their personal and location data. The best way is to ask them directly something regarding their choices, preferences, and products.
Chatbot offers valuable opportunity to come directly into the contact of prospective customers. We have described various ways to reach the brand consumers and engage them in fruitful conversations.
Prolonged engagements enable Chatbot to know the shoppers closely and offer bespoke suggestions to influence the buying decisions. Another interesting aspect of smart messenger bot is its capacity to provide a comprehensive guide and real-time assistance while shopping. It helps the business to close the deal quickly.
The latest trends are revealing an innovative approach to help shoppers through Chatbot, and it is the implementation of a 'Quiz-style' product finder. Through a series of questions, you can help shoppers to reach the targeted product without messing up with traditional or advanced search navigations.
We know shopping cart abandonment phenomena is a headache for every ecommerce merchant. Email recovery techniques only get 10% shoppers back while Chatbot has three to four-times recovery rate.
How to Tap Existing Customers
When a one-time shopper or repeat customer enters on the ecommerce site and completes a buying journey, various types of messages need to deliver them. For instance, welcome greeting, product availability, option introduction, collection intro, order confirmation, shipping updates, shipping status, and delivery messages are common in ecommerce business.
Email is a traditional route while Chatbot is the modern approach to deliver such transactional messages. Similarly, after sales services and offerings, if delivered through Chatbot, you can win instant gratification of your shoppers and win their loyalty.
One more benefit of the smart messenger is to offer various incentives and loyalty program throughout the product lifecycle. You can ask your customer for maintenance, reorder, and ask for to be referrals for your products and offer them referral program related incentives through Chatbot.
You can collect customer feedback, testimonials, product usage story, and reviews through Chatbot in a completely natural way. You can capture positive content from such conversations and upload on your site directly or take screenshots of messenger and upload it.
Finally, Chatbot can provide out-of-box user experiences such as delivering product information through multimedia content including short to long videos, address remorse of your shoppers, boost buyers' anticipations and drive sales.
A chatbot is the name of a smart messenger product, and similar other high-quality products available in the market such as
Clare.AI – It is a modern virtual assistant to banking services through various instant messengers including WhatsApp and WeChat.
Acquire Chatbot - It is a next-generation AI based customer support bot to provide a seamless experience to customers and reduce churn rate.

- The US was in shock on 11 September 2001 as two hijacked planes were flown into the iconic twin skyscrapers of the World Trade Centre, demolishing it.
- A third plane was used to target the Pentagon, and another crashed in a field.
- The mastermind of the attack was the US's old ally Osama Bin Laden—who the Americans had funded and trained to fight the Soviet Union in Afghanistan.
- Days later, the US attacked Afghanistan. And in 2003, it again used 9/11 as an excuse to invade Iraq.
Blaming the right people
As the second plane hit in New York, Socialist Worker in London was just hours away from its print deadline.
Yet the front page article still places the blame for the attacks squarely where it belongs.
"The tragic scenes in New York and Washington are the bitter fruits of policies pursued by the US state," it says.
"US president George Bush spoke of terrorist outrages on Tuesday. Yet the state he heads has been responsible for burying men, women and children under piles of rubble."

Ethically sourced and 100% original
Awelye is a term used to describe women's ceremonies and all that it encompasses such as ceremonial body paint designs. The patterns and designs in this painting are influenced by these. Ahakeye are little currants that grow on the Canthium attenuatum shrub which grows about 3m high. This shrub produces small white flowers, deep green citrus-like leaves, and the currents which are black when ripe and very small. This fruit is favoured for its sweet taste and can be reconstituted in water if dry. There is a sacred Dreaming story for Ahakeye belonging to Tanya and the people of her country. Also in this painting, women are depicted by U shaped symbols with ceremonial sticks and a coolamon (carved wooden bowl).

Stanford grad's hot wheels
A brainchild of Kent Frankovich M.S. '10, Revolights are LED lighting systems that connect to the bike's wheels, producing a white light on the front half of the bike and a red light on the back, which allow bikers to see more clearly and increase their visibility. The idea for the lighting system struck Frankovich while he was completing his master's degree in mechanical engineering at Stanford, when he noticed the shortcomings of his traditional, handlebar-mounted light, which pointed ahead but did not offer the rider much visibility from the side.

Along its 2000 years of history, there have been several revolutions and class conflicts in Barcelona. But since the end of the Middle Ages, revolutions, wars and internal affairs, urban reforms and social changes have shaped the future of the city and the lifes of those who have lived in.
A time travel to go over:
– The Catalan Revolt (Reapers's War).
– The War of the Spanish Succession and Barcelona's siege.
– The riots of the nineteenth century and the "Tragic Week"
– The revolution and the beginning of the Spanish Civil War.
– The fight against Franco in the twentieth century.

Now I've taken a further step and created bookmarks for each subject. We can use them to mark where we are in each textbook--a time saver when you get to the thicker books like Mystery of History. I also laminated them and left a space to write "Today's Assignment" with a wet erase marker (the dry erase was smearing in the books).
I can write the assignment on the bookmark so Fritz can start working while I'm busy elsewhere. As an only child he's been spoiled by having the teacher always by his side and I need to work on his independant learning.
I used Graphic Toolbox to make these, but the concept is so simple you can copy and paste pictures of book covers into any program.

The effort of Duke Energy to build an Integrated Gasification and Combined Cycle (IGCC) coal plant in Edwardsport, Indiana – or "clean coal" plant – has met with large cost over runs and considerable scandal in the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission.
In April of 2010, Duke Energy announced that the project's scale and complexity would add approximately $530 million to the previously approved $2.35 billion estimate. That brought the total estimated cost of the plant to $2.88 billion. The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) capped the costs of the Edwardsport coal gasification project that are passed on to consumers at $2.975 billion. Its construction costs are nearly double the original 2007 estimate.
With approval from the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC), customer rates are expected to rise between 14-16% annually. The rate increase will not come at once; costs began phasing into rates in January 2009, and gradually will be added to bills through 2013.
But significant controversy surrounds the IURC and it's decision to appove the much-increased costs of the IGCC coal plant: Scott Storms, an IURC attorney and administrative law judge, allegedly discussed employment with Duke while presiding over hearings concerning the utility. Storms left the IURC in September for a new position in Duke's regulatory division. Storms had handled matters related to the coal-gasification plant and consumer watchdogs from the Citizens Action Coalition say "(The IURC) has essentially given Duke Energy a blank check. We question all of those orders and the motivation behind them." Storm has been placed on administrative leave with pay.

WASHINGTON – Bill Bradley finally used the "e" word – as in "endorse" – to describe his support for his one-time Democratic presidential rival Al Gore.
The two, who fought a nasty primary fight, consummated yesterday's spirited endorsement in Green Bay, Wis., with a high-five that ended with their hands clasped.
Bradley, campaigning for Gore for the first time since he dropped out of the race in March, quoted legendary Green Bay Packer coach Vince Lombardi as he explained why he was set to go all out for a candidate whose honesty he'd challenged just six months ago.
"Winning is a team sport," said Bradley, who looked tanned and rested – in contrast to the exhausted appearance he exhibited in the final days of his 15-month campaign back in March.
Gore and Bradley looked comfortable together on stage, smiling in front of a blue banner that read, "United for Gore."
Their appearance was in contrast to John McCain's clenched-smile endorsement of GOP opponent George W. Bush.
But while McCain's backing of Bush appeared forced, it also happened two months ago, which gave Bush more time than Gore to nail down all aspects of his party's base.
Bradley's endorsement could help Gore with some liberal Democrats, some of whom are supporting Green Party candidate Ralph Nader, the consumer advocate who has been getting single digits in the polls – but is eating away more of Gore's support than Bush's.
Bradley quit the Democratic race just days after he lost the New York primary, then dropped out of sight and went mountain climbing in Italy and fly fishing in Montana, which led Republicans to tease Gore about Bradley's distance from him.
Although Bradley said he'd support Gore, he had pointedly refused to use the word "endorse" – until yesterday.
"I want to make it clear that I endorse Al Gore for president of the United States," Bradley told a crowd of about 1,000 yesterday.
Bradley, the former New York Knick and New Jersey senator, hammered home the major theme of his presidential campaign – racial harmony – during his speech yesterday.

Who'd have thought there'd be a farmers' market in Singapore? Thanks to my cousin, we've discovered a new spot to head to for breakfast "overseas". Organised by The Pantry Cookery School, the Farmers' Market is held twice a month on Saturdays. It's not quite the Borough Market that I love so much, but it's as good as it gets in Singapore I guess!
There are stalls selling French Provencal produce, Spanish jamon & paella, Cornish pasties (I never thought I'd find them in Singapore!), artisan breads, UK beers & ciders (if I weren't preggers I'd prob pick up a pear cider!), pretty cupcakes, jams & spreads, and tapas-y olives, stuffed tomatoes, and artichoke hearts which I love!
You get the feel of being overseas, but you also pay as if you were overseas. Things aren't cheap. But since we were there to enjoy ourselves and the experience, we just closed one eye :)

The last thing he wanted was another referendum on the EU, but Nigel Farage now concedes it might be inevitable.
"Maybe, just maybe, I'm reaching the point of thinking that we should have a second referendum on EU membership."
While the former UKIP leader could just be doing anything to stay in the limelight, it does seem like a second vote is getting more likely.
In Britain voting has started to become an annual thing. Most Brits won't exactly be thrilled to be dragged to the ballot box again.
Nor has the Brexit issue gone away after they were promised a referendum would settle the matter.
As Emma Ross-Thomas writes in Bloomberg, it's starting to look like a "neverendum".
A second referendum on EU membership may be on the cards.
What makes anyone think a new referendum on the issue would, as Farage says, "kill it off for a generation"?
A second vote is getting more likely
Despite the close contest they fought in 2016, both Remain and Leave advocates are convinced they'd comfortably beat their opponents in a rerun.
Remain will demonstrate how much worse the British economy has fared since the Brexit vote. Leave will counter that the impact has been smaller than expected.
And round and round we go.
Though a majority of Brits doesn't feel much for going to the ballot boxes, it is getting more likely Remainers and Leavers will square off once more.
A lot of that has to do with the winning side warming to the idea of a new contest. Convinced his side would win, Nigel Farage wants to put the matter to bed once and for all.
"Others, of course, have called for a repeat vote before," writes Leonid Bershidsky in Bloomberg.
"But while former Prime Minister Tony Blair's voice is irrelevant, Farage's is not.
"For a replay to be legitimate, the winning side should be up for it."
The bookies immediately slashed the odds of a new referendum from 10-1 to 5-1 after Farage's comments.
In the end it's the government that decides whether or not the British people will get another vote, most likely on the final deal negotiated with Brussels.
Though it's not planning to hold another referendum, the government may find it's the only way to avoid an impasse.
A majority in parliament favours staying in either the EU's single market or customs union. Most government ministers argue that isn't really leaving the EU.
It's not just Tory Europhiles who could blow up the deal. So can May's Northern Irish coalition partner, the DUP, if the Irish border issue isn't dealt with satisfactorily.
So it's not unthinkable parliament will reject the final deal on the table.
While parliament shouts "this isn't what people voted for!" and the government retorts with "yes, it is!", the British people might be asked to settle the issue again.
For now the government maintains a second referendum on EU membership is not going to happen, but governments say a lot of things.
May wasn't going to hold a snap election – until she did. The PM was opposed to a transition period – until she agreed to let everything stay more or less the same until 2021.
May rejecting the idea of a new EU vote now is no guarantee she won't hold one later on if it suits her government.
A new referendum wouldn't solve anything
The main advantage of a vote on the final deal is that it would take away most of the ambiguity that existed last time.
Unlike the 2016 referendum, the government could present a clear vision of post-EU Britain to the people. No such blueprint existed before.
"UK voters had no idea what leaving the EU would mean in real life. The government itself had only a vague idea what would happen," argues Leonid Bershidsky.
"The key missing element of the puzzle in 2016 was how the UK's trade partners, both inside and outside the EU, would handle Brexit."
A new vote is unlikely to be held before 2020 since Westminster will have to agree a new trade relationship with Brussels first.
That should give the British public more time to understand what Britain's relationship with the EU and the rest of the world will be like going forward, the argument goes.
The problem with a new EU referendum is that it isn't going to resolve the issue.
Remain's economic arguments failed to win it last time and immigration is still a major issue on which the EU won't budge.
It would still be hard to predict how the British economy would fare in the long run while it's equally hard to answer what the EU will look like in a decade or so.
If nothing fundamental has changed in the debate, why should we expect a whole different outcome?
Take last year's election. Prime Minister May's party won the election but lost its absolute majority over its 'hard Brexit' stance.
It seems a majority of Brits want to go through with Brexit, though not in the disruptive manner the government initially had in mind.
A new referendum probably won't tell us anything we don't already know. At the same time it could undermine Britain's negotiating position if 'the will of the people' was called into question.
More politicians are calling for a do-over but from the public we hear no such call. Last week a ComRes survey showed most Brits don't think there should be another referendum.
Maybe, just maybe, calls for a second referendum on the EU should wait until the people decide they want to have another say.

Behind this park on Daggett Ave is where the next extension of the Ten Mile Bikeway will go.
Ok, I wussed out and decided to do the ride Saturday instead of Sunday. The weathermen were warning us of that Arctic Blast moving back in Saturday night so I hopped on the bike in the morning and did the ride. I did have to put up with a pretty good wind but the sun and warmer temps made up for that little inconvenience. The ride didn't get arrowed till later in the day, so I had to read the map whenever I wasn't sure which way to go. I ended up with 21 miles and rode three days in a row. By the way, if you haven't figured out the title of my blog, it has to do with my new bicycle seat. With my other seats, I would never have been able to ride three days in a row. That's why I Love My Brooks Saddle!

John Byron launches a luxury Bespoke Men's Collection and for his debut collection, John Frazier takes us on an excursion of a well dressed, perfectly tailored man. Not any man, but one that exudes refinement, confidence, and a dashingly louche aura. a zealot of impeccable style. The man of the hour is John Byron.
Based in Chicago, entrepreneur John Frazier launches John Byron as a new fashion label for discerning men. The John Byron collection is exclusively online and consists of men's bespoke and custom shirts ranging in styles from formal wear to casual tartans. John Byron offers the ability to design four billion unique shirts. There are a variety of features ranging from unique collars and cuffs to specialized quotations and horizontal stripes. The company believes that clothing should be as unique as the individual.
"It's a digital world these days and men are tolerating buying shirts that don't fit. It doesn't make sense to me, in this day and age, that people are still buying shirts that don't fit and are not personalized for their own individual tastes. It's as if the clothing industry isn't evolving," says Frazier.
Rather than start with a swatch of fabric like other custom sites, John Byron provides the customer with an actual shirt, designed by John Byron, that the customer can then configure. However, if the customer likes the shirt as shown they can simply buy it with one click. From Egyptian cotton dress shirts to Italian denim sport shirts, each shirt has a unique set of custom design options selected by John Byron to save time and ensure the customer designs a great looking shirt. Also, design advice is offered at every step of the shirt construction process.
The John Byron collection explores sophisticated, traditional styles but adds subtle, unique touches. Playing on the spring trend of texture, John Byron offers a variety of textured fabrics and an assortment of artistic designs. Frazier was inspired to create a brand that complements the lifestyle of a man who only accepts the best and nothing less.
"We believe that clothing should be as unique as the individual. The imposition of mass-produced goods isn't satisfying to discerning consumers. However, proposing customizable shirts that allow the consumer to express their own individuality is the pinnacle of luxury," say Frazier.
John Byron offers three sizing methods: standard sizes, neck and sleeve and custom. Neck and sleeve requires measuring the neck and sleeve length and selecting a desired body fit. Custom sizing requires taking seven measurements and selecting a fit
All shirts are made in the USA and the John Byron design house supports fair wages and education. John Byron donates 10% of profits to Teach for America. Prices range from $110 – $475.
John Byron custom shirts are the perfect choice for the stylish man who loves elegance, fine tailoring and American luxury. Spring is here and summer too, so get ready for stylish events galore to get dressed up any way you want. My favorite color palette for this season is black and white, so I was excited when I saw all the available choices from John Byron. The 'King Twill White' from the 'Formal Solids' collection as well as a 'White Royal Oxford Two Ply 140′s' from the 'Bespoke' collection is 'My John Byron Style.'

Guitar Rig 3 Demo – Audio Line-In glitch fixed!!
The other day I decided to have a go with the already-famous Guitar Rig 3 (a music production software for guitarists, including amplifiers, effects etc etc). Here's the official blurb:
GUITAR RIG 3 is the ultimate all-in-one guitar and bass solution. Simply connect your guitar with your computer via the enhanced Rig Kontrol 3 foot pedal and you are ready to go. The on-board studio-quality soundcard routes the signal to your speakers, while the software grants you access to an incredible number of perfectly modeled classic amps, cabinets, mics and effects – all arranged in a super-simple drag-and-drop rack format. Any style, any time – the perfect solution for professional studio and live setups.
From the Native Instrument site you can download a demo version, so I did and set off to have some fun with my guitar.. obviously I didn't have the Rig Kontrol 3 foot pedal, but the instructions said it was possible to use the software just as a virtual instrument – that is by plugging your guitar directly into the line-in of the mac (as I don't have an external audio interface yet).
Unfortunately it wasn't that easy – the audio controls of Guitar Rig didn't allow me to choose my mac's LineIn, so no sound at all !!!
I googled the issue quite a bit, found out that other people run into the same problem.
Thus I emailed directly the guys at Native Instruments, and (I wasnt expecting this) they got back to me after a couple of days!!! Thanks Nadine!
Here's their feedback – thought it could have been useful to other mac users:
In order to fix this problem, please create an "Aggregate Device".
An Aggregate Device is an audio interface that virtually exists in your
computer. It uses audio inputs and outputs of one or more real audio
interfaces which are connected to your computer.
How to setup a generated device:
– Open the OS X "Audio and MIDI setup" (MacHD/Applications/Utilities) and
click on Audio -> Open aggregate device editor.
– By clicking on the "+" button you can add a new device. Below you should see
a list of real audio interfaces currently connected to your computer. Click on
the check box to enable interfaces as needed for this aggregate device. Close
the editor when done.
– In the Audio settings window of the audio application you can now choose
this "aggregate device" as your output device.
– For Native Instruments standalone applications also setup the inputs and
outputs as necessary under the Audio settings window/tab Routing.
Nadine, Native Instruments Support Team
I didn't know anything about Aggregate Audio, it's really really nice. For example it lets you manage your audio-input ports in such a way that you can use more than one at the same time, e.g. recording more than one instrument at the same time with Garage Band.
So I tried to create a 'virtual' audio device using the Aggregate Device menu-option in the Audio-Midi-Setup utility (update 22/11/09: if you're on SnowLeopard the Audio-Midi-Setup app looks a bit different, but what follows is till valid!).
Unfortunately it didn't let me do that – every time I was making some changes to these settings they were not stored properly (on SnowLeopard the newly created device flashes and disappears every time).
Some more googling, got an answer here. It's an issue with unix privileges on the .GlobalSettings.plist file (in /Library/Preferences). Even if I'm an admin user, for some reasons the system doens't let me change that file, so I can't change the Aggregate Device options too.
After trying various options suggested in this apple forum, I discovered that the only solution that worked for me was changing the privileges on the Preferences folder.
I know, it's not really advisable to allow any user to change those prefs – but I took he risk.. I'm usually the only one using this mac. So if this is not the case for you, better look for another option..
That's it – now all you have to do is change the settings in GuitarRig:
Seriously thinking about buying the whole package!!!

The Ice Station DC-LT Solo TopThe Enterprise Solutions series is an extremely compact pump top and, together with the DC-LT pump, is very powerful. It plays its strengths wherever there is little space or a pump should be stored to save space. Compatible is the top with the DC-LT pump series and is also well suited for small water cooling systems. It even fits in 1U server racks. If the upper aluminum plate is removed, the top can also be extended by a surge tank. Under the plate is also an insert for bubble-down filter, which minimizes the suction of air bubbles. With the AGB combination, the pump top of the ice station corresponds to 40 DC LT series. The assembly is also very practical and versatile, so the accessories also include a Velcro mat, with the top can be fixed anywhere in the housing. The velcro mat adheres very well and gives a secure hold. Those who prefer to use mounting feet can order them separately and install the ice station at a 30 degree or 90 degree angle. To install the pump, remove the bottom plate and insert the O-ring. Then the pump is screwed down and the plate attached again. So the pump is completely covered by the top and protected from all sides.
The Ice Station 40 DC-LT The Enterprise Solutions series is similar to the Solo Top and is therefore also extremely compact. But she brings the equalizer already with you. It also fits into 1U server racks, but can also be mounted directly on a radiator. Together Solo Top and Terms are only 6 inches long, 4 inches wide and 4.1 inches high. Therefore, it fits itself to a 40 mm Alphacool X-Flow NexXxoS Radiator. Despite their size, however, just under 29 ml of coolant fit into the container. But as it is connected directly to a radiator, the ice station acts as extended AGB. As with the Solo Top, the filter prevents air bubbles from coming to the pump. The enclosed double nipple allows the station to be connected directly to one of the four G1 / 4 "threads on the side or front of the radiator. The ice station, including a NexXxoS 40 mm X-Flow radiator, fits easily into a 1U server enclosure. The installation of the pump is identical to the above Solo Top.
The ice station 80 DC-LT The Enterprise Solutions series, on the other hand, even fits 2U server racks, depending on the installation variant. The entire ice station is made of acetal, making it extremely durable and durable. As with the Solo Top, a velcro mat is included, with which the ice station can be fixed to any position without losing its compact design. Unlike the other ice station, mounting feet are included, with which the height can be adjusted. An assembly in 30 degrees or 90 degrees angle is possible. The volume can be reduced by the included decoupling feet. The installation of the pump is the same as with the other two articles. Only the filling is easier, because through the 25mm large filling opening, easy spray bottles or funnels can be used. If the pump top is used together with the AGB, the inlet is located on the side of the AGB and the outlet on the side of the pump top. If IN and OUT are to run in a certain direction, the expansion tank can also be disassembled and rotated to any position. If the GTC is not used, there is an additional input on the opposite side of the OUT.

Your Creator beckons you
Draw near to Him
the Source of all life
the Lord of love
the Master of your happiness
God created you for
communion with Him
He longs to lead you on
paths of righteousness
ever toward holiness
A place of completeness
Your crown, held by
Christ's gentle hands,
lights upon your head
A sign of His approval
For you've allowed
the Savior's love
to infuse your somber spirit
Your heart, contrite
no longer marred by sin
You've washed your robe
in the blood of the Lamb
Christ invites you
Enter in
Who's your all-in-all?
The one you go to
for advice, or comfort
The one you love most
There is One other — He created you
He'll never stop loving you
He bids you come to Him
celebrate the wonder of His birth
this Christmas
Kneel before Jesus Christ
yet a Babe
fully human, fully divine
sent on a mission to save
His whole life, a love song
dedicated to you
Connect with Him
more than the usual moment
each day
He longs to bless you
and keep you safe
Pledge your life to Him
in return
Carry on in holiness
Receive the Christ Child

still riddled with hurt
Allow Christ's love
to heal your heart
changing your life

and never let go

The One who's become
your All-in-All
We call on God with thanksgiving in our hearts
For He has loved us throughout our lives
Even when we've rebelled against Him
He's provided
Making the rain fall
Giving a harvest
Providing abundant life
In times of drought and catastrophic flames
Flood, wind, and destruction
He calls us to Himself
To acknowledge Him as the Source of all
Sustainer of life
Our Creator
God admonishes our sinfulness
Calling us to repentance
For we know not the hour of our death
Our God desires us
To have eternal life with Him
He would bond with us
If we would give our allegiance to Him
Vow obedience
To all Ten Commandments
As they were given by Him on Mt. Sinai
As a sign of our love for Him
In the act of obedience
We thank Him for the rich life
He has endowed us with
God's heart cannot be hemmed in
Oh, that I could experience it all day
But the ruler of this world pours acid
Aiming at our central core
For Satan wants to destroy the beauty
Flowing within us
That love planted by our Creator
Instilled with joy
Nurtured by our heart connection with Him
Hurts and distractions bombard us somedays
Causing some to stray from our mission
To love one another
As He has loved us
Fear imprisons the hopeless
Battered souls
Blown near the edge of the abyss
Craving love lost from sight
A faithful, caring Christian
Snatches this hopeless one
Worn from the struggle with Satan
Carrying him with strength
Gained by Jesus' victory over sin and death
To a meadow dotted with white lilies
Where only beauty abides
This deprived, beloved soul
Catches a glimpse of Jesus
Not far off
Healed, whole, and beautiful
The rescued owns a jubilant heart
As Jesus takes his hand
Renewed by the Savior's love
He dances with Jesus' heart
Love entwined with love
Forever trusting in God's mercy
And faithfulness
For unto us
The Christ Child is born
His peace and love
Enter our hearts
Christ comes not
Just once a year
But every day
Our hearts can accommodate
His love
A miracle of divine origin
Transforming our hearts
Softening hard feelings
And melting hate
Originating acts of kindness
Propelling us
To go out of our way
To serve those less fortunate
His love
Now our constant companion
Not easily uprooted
From our hearts
A new life
Protected by
Our loving maintenance
Of His gift
By our humble acceptance
He is our Creator
Due all attention,
Honor, and worship
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God: the same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth" (John 1:1-4, 14).
Scripture clearly reveals Jesus Christ as our Creator and establishes His dual divine and human nature. Further, His life reveals God's glory — His magnificence and astounding character. Christ came into this world to give us life — eternal life. He came to cast light in the darkness, giving us truth, showing us the way. With the promise of His birth fulfilled, mankind could now be assured of a Child to become their Savior who would shower them with grace.
From the time God walked and communed with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, through the Fall of Man, and with the passing of time, God's intent has always been to dwell with humans. He is a God of relationships. Christ came to save us from our sins and to restore our relationship with God — God the Father whom we had disobeyed. We can now confidently approach the throne of God with petitions and prayers of repentence through the mediation of Jesus Christ our Savior.
This Christmas season as we contemplate the birth of the Christ Child, let us give thanks and praise for His mercy in saving our fallen race and for His everlasting love for us. Let's reciprocate that love by using both His strength and the grace He offers freely to us to honor and obey His Ten Commandments. Our Creator and Savior is worthy of no less worship and adoration.
—Scripture quotations taken from KJV—
I'm sure most people wonder, in times of personal success, "Why do I need God, anyway?" We tend to ascribe our successes to having the smarts and working hard. We feel self sufficient.
But what about those inevitable times we experience pain, personal loss or failure? Many of us blame others for our misfortune, then feel sorrow for ourselves or hatred for those we blame. Some will consequently indulge in numbing activities like getting drunk, watching large doses of TV, or addiction to work. Some of us try to replace our sorrow with pleasure by engaging in drug use, promiscuous sex, binge eating, or gambling and the like. It sometimes becomes difficult to step back from our addictions and identify the real problem that needs to be resolved. A professional counselor or trained church pastor can often help us identify the problem and bring solutions.
On lesser yet troublesome matters, maybe you, like me, need to forgive ourselves for not being perfect. When you think about it, it's really silly to believe perfection is always realistic. After all, none of us is at the top of our game all the time. To gently tell ourselves, "It's OK. I don't have to achieve perfection in everything I do. I'm flawed and limited," is OK.
The only perfect entity is God. And when it comes to understanding our weaknesses, it is only God who can fully relate, through His Son, Jesus, who understands our weaknesses, frustrations, and sorrows. Jesus lived a life colored with human inclinations because He is fully God and fully human. He lived a life molded by simplicity and privation and touchd by deep sorrow. He can relate to a broken, discouraged human, comfort any type of sorrow, and mend us by His eternal love for each one of us.
Do you ever not know what to say to God—how to pray? I suggest talking to God like you would a friend. Many people I've talked to have this type of rich, rewarding relationship with Him. Jesus is knocking at your door. Opening it may be a humbling experience.
Yes, we do need God. He created us with an inner craving for Him that can't be filled by anyone or anything else. We may feel self sufficient, but He gave us our abilities and we should stay close to Him even in our successes. To give the glory only to Him brings us blessings He is happy to shower on us. He will reward the person who acknowledges Him as our benevolent Creator and Sustainer.

There clearly was a classic widow who labored in your kitchen of a cafe. She was in her late 60s. She had a fair appearance with a moderate built. From the look of her sagging tits under her shirt, we could say she will need to have a lovely large breasts in her younger days. I was attracted to her but we stayed as everyday friends. She kept her distance which makes it hard for me to set up a more personal relationship with her. I lost plenty of my spare time attempting to tame her. As the times transferred, I obtained hornier. I could envision romancing and anal fucking that widow, but possibilities kept bleak. My encourage to anal fuck that old widow forced me to seek the previous plate washer in the street. I drove about area Online Live Xxx from block to block wanting to identify her. She must be scavenging somewhere. A hay hat, around measured tee shirt and a baggy long jeans could be her business mark. I simply needed release a the stress of my rising urge. It absolutely was late day that I caught sight of the familiar figure crossing the street in a haste. She may be on an errand earning her daily ideas from large folks. Large people applied to make her of good use doing simple provisions for them then offering her tips. I went heading towards her direction. I parked and waited. As she was nearing my vehicle, I walked out and passed her $20, and at the same time frame told her I would be waiting for her later in the evening. She nodded. However for another few days Live Mature Sex Cams she prevented me. I attempted to strategy her but she was cautious not to run into me. After many attempts, I gave up. I moved my concentration to the widow functioning at the cafe. She was as challenging as she generally was. Everytime I created an advance on her, she would kindly decline. It had been a cat and a mouse game. I preserved my patience. It was a wet week and a poor time for scavengers. Very little were found and a negative time for errand runners too. I noticed the common determine in her baggy pants seeking protection at the part of the shop. She was clear handed. I went up to her and offered her $50. She smiled at me. I got she must have forgiven me. I asked her if she'd taken her meal. Her Free Live Xxx Chat answer amazed me. She requested me to get packed food on her later in the evening. I shared with her m would be about as usual. I went to a drugstore to get a water based jelly lubricant. With this I am sure I will anal fuck her and take cum inside her asshole. I bought condoms also just in case I will require it. With this, I was looking towards tonight's adventure.
Back once again to my vehicle with the packed food and processed drinks, I extended smoking while she ate. I was thinking if she agreed to fuck simply for some tips and for sexual pleasure. I did so wish that she'd be horny and loved fucking. When she had end eating, I went to some other secluded place of the town. Here, I wish to fuck her
once more before giving her off. I left my car then joined her at the backseat. She seemed to understand my intention. Just like I was looking at her, she lay straight and began undoing her trousers. I undid quarry too. I needed my penis an located it on her slit and it slid in easily. Her pussy was however damp from our first fuck. This time round, I must labour. The excitement of fucking her wasn't there anymore. My slightly numbed dick slid in and out creating her pussy really wet. She moaned each time my cock slid in. Her thighs fell apart while she leaned back. Obviously she had cummed. She was panting as I continued to fuck her. Her pussy was soggy moist and had loosen it's grip on my cock. Work trickled down my forehead, Best Free Live Sex Cams I extended working her pussy. Finally my hard labour compensated off. I taken out and jerked my cock. Ejaculation was always gratifying although just a little sperm was ejaculated. Lowers of sperm dotted her belly. We cleaned up and got dressed, I went and slipped her at the junction to her house and shared with her I'm going to be seeing her soon. I drove home feeling extremely satisfied. My extended wait to have her was eventually over. I may now put her at the back of my mind.
By 7pm I reached the automobile park. A somewhat stooping determine had been there ranking in the shadows. She approached my car immediately. I exposed the door on her behalf and sat with her at the backseat. When seated, she said that I could fuck her as much situations as I wish to, but no anal sex. Anal sex was uncomfortable and when it wasn't unpleasant she didn't brain at all, she continued. I didn't state anything but achieved for the dash cabinet and needed out the container of lubricant. That jelly here is for anal intercourse I informed her. I given the bottle to her. She took the container and attempted to open it. My dick stumbled on life. I really could experience my cock straightening and forcing for space. I undid my trousers and subjected my erect cock. I exposed the package and with my fingers I smeared the jelly throughout my cock. I told her I would set some jelly on her butthole. Without a word she undid her shorts and leaned sideways. I smeared some jelly on her behalf butthole. I needed her give and shared Live Sex Porn Cams with her to try putting a finger into her asshole. However I couldn't see significantly since it was night, I really could only experience with my hand. Her finger slid in easily. I put my hand over her hand to prevent her taking out her finger. As her finger remained inside, I fold to suck her tit. The idea of that previous woman inserting her hand up in her asshole really aroused me.
I used my cock in position and pushed. It slid into her asshole easily. I built a gradual push and draw motion. I advised her fingers to her pussy and created her understand that I wanted her to rub her clit while I fuck her ass. Soon she was working on her clit rubbing it in a circular motion. From her fluid movements, I could tell she will need to have masturbated regularly. Her asshole stiffened clutching my penis as she was cumming. I was finding departed too. She reached for my hand and put it on her pussy. I continued rubbing her pussy while she from time to time adjusted my give putting it at her preferred spot. Then her time got, she made me place two hands into her pussy. I could sense her pussy pulsated. My dick rush it's content. My mind went blank, all senses were focused at my cock. When the delighted feelings of ejaculation was over, my cock softened and felt numb. I withdrew from her and cleaned my cock. As I dressed up I shared with her I'd get to get the loaded food. When I exited the car, my legs believed weak. I took my steps slowly lest I stumble.

Op-Ed: Fighting the cuts, and exploiting them
Alexander Baron
May 25, 2013 in
- The London Fire Brigade is campaigning against a massive round of closures and redundancies. Others have joined in the fight, but not all have the same pure motives.
The two leaflets below were picked up in Catford, which is in Lewisham, one of London's most deprived boroughs. The facts and figures given in the
Save Downham Fire Station
leaflet are undoubtedly true. A fire engine is like an umbrella, it's something we have in reserve but hope we never need. If you get stuck in the rain without an umbrella, you'll get wet. If you're a fire engine or a fire station short, the consequences can be far more dire, but by the time you realise your mistake, it will be too late.
Anyone who thinks otherwise should think too of the
1957 Lewisham train crash
, which is of course of particular relevance, and of the recent
helicopter crash
at Vauxhall.
The other leaflet is a flyer for the lunatic Workers Revolutionary Party. Their demands are more comprehensive, including calling a general strike to bring down the government. Check out their website, especially the
About Us page
: "We are the British section of the International Committee of the Fourth International, founded by Leon Trotsky. We are Marxists and fight for the principles founded by Marx, Engels, Lenin and Trotsky."
If Karl Marx is just a name to you, check out this
short introduction
. Engels was even sillier, although Lenin was nothing to laugh about. This party worships at the shrine of Leon Trotsky though, so you would expect to find something there about the great man, his shooting workers "
like ducks in a pond
", perhaps. Or maybe his
bankrolling by Wall Street
. Keep looking. Don't bother asking the comrades about this either, because they'll simply change the subject.
On top of all that, none of these self-professed champions of the working class were actually workers. Marx was a journalist of sorts, and appears never to have done a day's work in his life; Engels was a drop out, but fortunately he was born into a wealth family, as were both Lenin and Trotsky. Heck, you wouldn't expect the rabble to lead the revolution, would you?
It is true that many countries, including the UK, are facing severe problems due to the banks, and it is there the solution lies, but neither the WRP nor any of their loony friends on the left has either the solution or any real idea of what is the actual problem.
financial reform
can put us back on track, and that is not what they are selling.

Different Fillings
All about the Tasty Tacos
Homey Los Amigos
After whining about the lack of diversity in taco fillings in my La Catrina post, Grayelf, prolific Chowhound board poster, suggested I try Los Amigos. The Davie Village shop has a Taco Tuesday special where you can get 6 tacos for $10 – a perfect opportunity to sample all the options.
Since there's no way I can cover the entire menu myself, I asked Grayelf to join me. In the end we ordered 11 out of 12 menu choices, opting not to try the beans filling. In addition, I passed on the ground beef Picadillo after my dining companion tried it and felt it maybe too spicy for me.
Out of the options I tried, the Super Veggie was the most impressive as it managed to trigger a flashback of my mom's cooking. My mom makes a sour stirred fried julienne potato dish where the potato is softened but still retains a bit of crunch.
This non-meat filling had the same crisp texture and tartness. If this is how the Super Veggie is consistently served, then it's a wonderful contrast to the mushy veggie fillings that I've had.
Another standout was the Al Pastor where Los Amigos chose to use chunks of chicken instead of the traditional pork. The filling was actually spicy, which went well with the sweet pineapple.
The Mole chicken taco had more complexity than others that I have eaten. The slight chocolate-y sweetness was balanced with a nuttiness and umami.
The Pescado was simply a white fish topped with pico de gallo and a chipotle sauce. The filling was a good combination of sweetness from the fish, tart and creamy.
The Tinga de Pollo was another taco that was just about the meat and no filler. It was savoury and had an added tangy punch from the cheese.
Another cool vegetarian filling was the cactus. The only other place that serves Nopales is Tacomio. Los Amigos simply cooks the succulent and adds cheese, onions and Chipotle sauce for flavour. I like the texture of the cactus that I would best describe as a juicy crunch.
In solid category, were the Lengua and Bistek. The beef tongue was soft and meaty but the sauce it was cooked in did not add much of a taste impact. The grilled steak was beefy but a touch chewy.
The two tacos I was blasé about were the Carne Adobada and the Rajas. The braised beef, although tender and visually appealing with the vibrant pink pickled onions, seem to lack flavour despite being simmered in Adobo sauce.
The Rajas was a veggie filling, consisting of mostly zucchini and poblano peppers, was mushy and bland. It paled in comparison to the Super Veggie or Nopales, which were more dynamic in terms of taste and texture.
My overall impression of Los Amigos is it's a hidden neighbourhood gem, that's not fancy but serves up good eats for the most part.
Despite familiar names and fillings, Los Amigos does offer their take on things. The fillings are ample, simple, homey and satisfying. The various meat options were not greasy, which was big positive for me.
Lastly, I think the Taco Tuesday special of 6 tacos for $10 is a great bargain for the food quality Los Amigos is providing and worth a visit.

Alistair Darling's 2008 Budget gave a boost to charities following fears the introduction of a lower income tax rate this April would cost them £90 million a year.
The rate of income tax was cut from 22% to 20% on 5 April 2008. While this was good news for workers, the subsequent cloud for charities was that the amount they could reclaim in gift aid would dip from £1.28 to £1.25 for every £1 donated.
However, Darling responded to concerns in his 2008 Budget by pledging to introduce an exemption for charities that allows them to continue to claim gift aid at 22% for the next three years.
John Low, chief executive officer of the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF), said; "It is a huge relief as we feared charities were going to lose in excess of £90 million per year when the basic rate of tax comes down in April. This will give charities a chance to adjust to the new lower rate.
"Gift Aid is a generous tax relief. This announcement means that every pound given by a UK taxpayer will continue to be worth £1.28 for their charity."
Gift Aid
The boost to charities will only be translated into extra money if taxpayers donate in a tax-efficient way. While cash-donation boxes remain a common sight in shops and along the high street, this is not the most tax-efficient way to give to charity.
Gift Aid is a tax-relief on donations, meaning the government treats the money as if the donor had already deducted basic rate tax from them. The charity can then reclaim this tax to increase the value of a donation.
If you are a basic rate taxpayer donating through Gift Aid then every £10 you donate will mean £12.80 for the charity. That's an extra £28 for every £100 you donate.
And if you are a higher rate taxpayer who uses Gift Aid to donate to charities then you can claim higher rate relief on these payments. All you need to do is enter the donations in the gift aid box on your self-assessment return or declare donations on your P810.
When you arrange to give money to a charity – as part of a regular donation or simply a one-off - you are required to give them permission to claim Gift Aid on your donation. This can be done over the phone, but normally the charity will ask you to 'opt in' on a form.
Give As You Earn
You can also claim tax relief on donation given via a Give As You Earn scheme. However, you cannot use this form of tax-efficient donation as well as Gift Aid on your donation.
With Give As You Earn your donation is taken directly from your pre-tax salary so the tax is passed on to the charity rather than the taxman.
This type of donation means the money you give goes further for the charity. For example, a £6.41 donation will only cost you £5.
There are four different ways to donate to charity using the Give As You Earn scheme.
- If you employer has a Give As You Earn scheme then all you need to do is inform your payroll department that you want to participate. They will need to know how much you want to donate each month and which charity or charities you wish to give to.
- If your employer doesn't run a Give As You Earn scheme, then you could set up a CAF charity account. This enables you to pay a set amount of money (the minimum is £10 a month) into a special account. You can then send a chequebook to donate money tax-free to any charity you want.
- If you and your colleagues want to fundraise as a group then you could set up a staff charity fund to pool your pre-tax donations.
- Finally, if you want to donate at least £10,000 a year to a charity then you could set up a CAF trust. You money is invested and any income generated is donated to the charity of your choice. As with other Give As You Earn schemes, the money is taken from your salary pre-tax so your £10,000 will actually only cost you £6,000.
Donating assets to charity
If you are a UK taxpayer, then you can claim tax relief on charitable gifts of quoted shares, land, property or other personal assets including art works. You will not have to pay capital gains tax on the value of your donation, and may be able to claim back costs such as stamp duty.

Sometimes we have already embarked upon a journey before we realise that this is not the route we want to be on. And you know what they say, better late than never.The woman I am introducing today had a sort of a similar start. But eventually, she has found her niche and I am incredibly proud to present her and her story.
Poonam's journey started 11 years ago in a classroom with all things finance on her first day at a Commerce College. Very quickly she realized that this was not the route for her and ended up getting admission into a very reputed design college: NIFT Gandhinagar. She specialized in accessory design, but due to the holistic approach at the college she was able to learn design processes which she could apply in different areas.
Her background in design led her to starting Silkwrap: a brand that sold shoes, clutches and accessories. After attending numerous exhibitions and supplying to numerous stores, she wanted to challenge herself more and thus decided to venture into an entire clothing range under her namesake label: Poonam Mittal.
During a chat with Poonam, she says "It is very important for every designer to have the zest to create, have correct knowledge & techniques and be aware of the market trends." While discussing what inspires her, she says that her surroundings and the happy people around her inspire her.This happiness has found its way into her most recent collection.
Her most recent work is titled "Colors of Life". It is a collection inspired by the happy people around her since happiness is contagious. The collection is dominantly white with pops of colour through florals, heart prints and stripes. With the incoming summer, the whites and brights will fit right into your season-wardrobe. This collection will be available to shop at the Black Taxi Exhibit happening this March 1 & 2 at Courtyard by Marriott Ahmedabad. You can meet Poonam at Stall no. 8!
When asked to pick 3 of her favorites from the current collection, she says, "This would be a tough one, but if I were a buyer, I'd go with a top, a midi dress and an Indian kurti. This will add three different styles to my wardrobe."
Poonam loves to sketch and hand draws each piece before it come to reality. She enjoys the process of creating something new everyday, experimenting and letting her imagination flow. "Colours of Life" was designed keeping in mind the needs of the hour and the preferences of distinct age-groups. From Anarkalis adorned with pure Marodi embroidery to tops and jackets with peplum and puff sleeves, Poonam has designed an all-encompassing collection ensuring that you'll find something for every occasion and event.
When asked about her views on where the Indian fashion industry is moving, she says, "Due to the popularity of social media, cultures are merging. We are more aware about trends around the world and our fashion is moving forward with it."
Poonam believes that fashion is a cycle and due to that we start valuing things from the past more. Trends like puffy sleeves, organza and midi dresses are an excellent example of trends from the past coming back.
You can contact Poonam on +91 90999 29762 or via email on email@example.com.
You can get regular updates through her Instagram handle: poonammittallabel
Apart from her regular collections, she also caters to customisation.

This past weekend the weather was simply wonderful. After spending a few days at the beach and soaking up the heat and sun, a breezy, low-seventies Sunday was exactly what I needed. Since summers here in the south are notoriously hot and humid, I'm savoring every bit of this "indian fall."

Yesterday we launched the US University Sites Collection (http://www.minerazzi.com/usc). This is a miner built with the Minerazzi platform that allow users to search, mine, and recrawl all top university sites from the US. Note that in this miner your query should be about university sites. Our topic-specific miners in general are not for generic queries. All this is explained at our site.
You can try it by using [ stanford ], [ cornell ], or [ MIT ] as the query. Then just click the Search Inside link of any of the search results and you are your way to discover or build collections out of these university sites. You can also use any of the dozen of extraction tools of the platform to mine each result.
You can do the same with any of our miners. For instance, using the Information Retrieval Collection miner (http://www.minerazzi.com/irc), search for [ Gerard Salton ]. Soon you will see dozens of Salton articles and you will be in a journey discovering nice resources. If you go to the first result and click the chained arrow icon at the far right, the Search Inside tool will recrawl that result.
Then go the Internal Links list and find the link result that says "Browse All" and click again the same icon to see over 1,400 results from Cornell's dSpace community list. Soon you will be discovering more resources.
You can also search for [ ecommons ] and mine Cornell's eCommons database as well and any subsequent database, directory, or library resource that you might come across during the discovery journey.
Note that with Minerazzi, users can search and mine records straight from the search result pages, something that cannot be done with Google, Bing or Yahoo. So the platform might benefit researchers, librarians, students, and the general public.
To sum up, what the Minerazzi platform proposes is a new search paradigm: to turn searchers into data miners.

Helping Students Write Better Essays and Achieve Higher Grades
Welcome to www.theessaytutor.com.
My name is Alan Stransman and I am the Founder of this site.
If you are a high school, college or university student and you are looking for help writing an essay, you have come to the right place.
This website is dedicated to helping students write better essays and achieve higher grades.
Some Background Information on Your Essay Tutor
I am a former teacher of English at the high school and university levels.
I have four university degrees, including two Master's degrees.
For almost twenty years, I wrote, produced and directed broadcast television programs and series, including several award-winning documentaries.
I have written and published six books, including two memoirs, one of which was adapted into a case study by the Ivey School of Business, one of the top business schools in the world.
If you are a high school, college or university student and you have an essay assignment, I can help you.
How Does an Essay Tutor Help You With Your Essay Assignment?
Regardless of the academic level, an essay should present a clear, concise and compelling thesis that is comprehensible even to people who do not have a great deal of familiarity with the subject matter.
In other words, even though you, as a student, are writing your essay for your teacher, instructor or professor, the person whom you should imagine reading your essay is someone who happens to find your essay in a newspaper or on a website.
This imaginary reader of your essay is interested enough in your subject to begin reading your essay, but to keep his or her attention, your essay must deliver a positive reading experience – if your essay is muddled, confusing and unclear, and the reader feels that there is nothing of real value being said in the essay, he or she will stop reading it.
Those are the kinds of essays that get failing or poor grades – the ones that have nothing to say – or, if they have something to say, are unable to say it in a clear and compelling way.
I am that imaginary reader of your essay. I am the person who comes across your essay and begins to read it and if your essay is boring, confusing or just downright vacuous, I will know it.
That's how I am able to help you with your essay, even if I don't know anything about your subject matter.
I know the difference between good essay writing and bad essay writing.
How the Process Works
I work with students from all over North America by telephone, Skype and email.
We do not need to meet in person for me to help you, although we can if you happen to live in Toronto, where I am based.
In 99% of cases, I work with students remotely, in telephone tutoring sessions of 30 or 60 minutes.
I can help you at any stage of the process, whether you are still deciding upon your topic or you have already written a first draft – or a fifth draft, for that matter.
Please do not take this the wrong way as it is not intended to sound arrogant, but unless you are a very good essay writer, I can help you to write better essays.
Having said that, I do not research essays for students and I don't write essays for students.
I am an Essay Tutor – which is, really, like an Essay Coach – and I can coach you through the process of writing an essay, but you have to do the work.
The reason that you are in school is to develop these skills.
The Cost of Working With an Essay Tutor
My fee for students is $25 for a half hour OR $40 for an hour.
There is no up-front commitment to any number of hours.
I work with students via telephone, Skype and the email.
If you would like to discuss your essay assignment with me, I offer a FREE 15-minute, no-obligation consultation.
You can reach me via:
Telephone: 416-519-4427
Email: email@example.com
Skype: AlanStransman
I look forward to connecting with you and hearing about your essay assignment.

Characterization of metastasis regulators in human breast cancer: implications for tumor suppressor PTEN and the Rho family of small GTPases
Baugher, Paige Jennette
MetadataShow full item record
Cancer metastasis is a multi-faceted process requiring the disregualtion of numerous signaling pathways, including those associated with cell adhesion and motility. Recent data indicates strongly that growth at a primary tumor site and growth at a metastatic site differ by the expression and/or context-dependent function of the metastasis regulator, and that a wide variety of signaling pathways are affected. PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome ten) then becomes an attractive candidate for a metastasis suppressor, based on its ability to negatively regulate numerous pathways involved in cell survival, cell proliferation, and cell motility. Conversely, the Rho family of small GTPases have become attractive candidates as contributors to metastasis. Rho GTPases regulate numerous signaling pathways involved in cell survival, cell proliferation and cell motility, but they function to enhance these processes instead of inhibiting them. Data presented here demonstrates the ability of PTEN to negatively regulate motility in human metastatic breast cancer cells without causing the cells to undergo apoptosis. PTEN is localized in stimulated cells away from the leading edge, which displaces it from sites of active motility signaling and prevents it from inhibiting these processes. Furthermore, ectopic PTEN expression is shown to downregulate phosphoinositol (3,4,5) triphosphate (PIP3), expression. Therefore, PTEN could be acting as a metastasis suppressor in human breast cancer. Data presented here also demonstrate the ability of the Rac subfamily of Rho GTPases to enhance metastatic properties and contribute to metastasis. Increased Rac activity was shown to correlate with increased metastatic potential in a panel of metastatic human breast cancer cell variants. When activated Rac1 or Rac3 was expressed stably in the least metastatic variant, either isoform was found to enhance adhesion, migration, and invasion in vitro, as well as contribute to pulmonary metastasis in the nude mouse model of experimental metastasis. Conversely, when dominant negative Rac1 or Rac3 was expressed in the most metastatic variant, either isoform was found to decrease adhesion, migration, and invasion in vitro, as well as block pulmonary metastasis in vivo. Therefore, Rac1 and/or Rac3 are found to act as metastasis regulators by negatively regulating metastatic human breast cancer progression.
