2013 Toyota Corolla
2013 Toyota Corolla sticks to what he does best ease of use reliability and accessibility. 2013 Toyota Corolla has outpaced the rest of the market in terms of technology refinement and driving participation but a new model for 2014 is expected to change that. The current Corolla however is an aspect of the blandest most innocuous compact sedans on to the market. A revised design of the grid for the 2013 model year tried unsuccessfully to change that. The 2013 Toyota Corolla is not ugly or unpleasant but it is certainly not attractive – especially when parked next to your competitive environment. The cabin is the same simple and useful but no character or style 2013 Toyota Corolla.
2013 Toyota Corolla Performance
2013 Toyota Corolla car choice and practicality need to find everything they need for the performance of the Corolla but those who like to drive can find the experience too similar device. 2013 Toyota Corolla 132-horsepower 1.8-liter four-cylinder feels a little short on power to the road – particularly with the four-speed automatic to which has widely spaced gears and hesitant answers together can add drama highway passes. Overall the Corolla is softly sprung and does not have a route handling and sophistication that many rivals have now. The electric power steering is too light and dull and that combined with the suspension does.
2013 Toyota Corolla Interior
2013 Toyota Corolla being outside whether on a road with curves. Functionally the 2013 Toyota Corolla hits all the marks – particularly with respect to living space and comfort. The front seats are a bit short and fluffy and this is the only caution actually higher for drivers who might not find them as support but otherwise there's plenty of headroom and legs and decent space for adults of average size in the backseat. Driving comfort is good in most cases to and the Corolla's cabin is well isolated from road noise and wind What is really at the height of midsize cars in this regard. The only flaws we see are the lack of detail the look and feel of some mediocre material and a little more engine noise that is typical 2013 Toyota Corolla.
2013 Toyota Corolla Safety

Crisp, cool air and warm, reliable cobijas that feel like family heirlooms can only mean one thing – hoodie season is upon us. All year long, people clamor for the warm, summer months but by August we're just about ready to be done with the constant threat of unseemly sweat, humid trains, and scorching hot commutes in heavy traffic.
After all, there's something therapeutic about protecting yourself from the elements with a sweater that fits just right and lets the world know what you're about without you even having to say a word. With that in mind, we've compiled a list of hoodies designed by Latinx and Latin Americans that you can cop now with fall in full swing.

Vitamin C is used in thousands of biochemical processes and reactions that take place in all cells of the body. A deficiency of this important vitamin may make it difficult or impossible to perform numerous physiological functions. However, although food is widely available in most countries, many people, both young and old, provide too little vitamin C as part of their diet.
According to the latest research, vitamin C minimizes fat storage. Perhaps this is an excellent method to eliminate many of the chronic metabolic disorders associated with obesity, including insulin resistance, high levels of harmful fats in the blood and cardiac arrhythmia.
Adipose tissue secretes bioactive proteins called adipokines, which are important fat relays. The most important of these is adiponectin. It is a hormone that occurs in a smaller number in people struggling with obesity, than in people with normal body weight. Obese people have a greater amount of inflammation that is the cause of oxidative stress and change the functioning of the gene responsible for the production of adiponectin.
Low level of adiponectin is a factor that increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease and metabolic problems. As the weight is lost, until the body weight is reached, the inflammation decreases and the production of adiponectin and the BMI body mass index return to normal. As a result of losing excess weight, the condition of the liver, heart and muscle is improved.
Controlling the BMI index with a diet
The type of food consumed has a fundamental impact on our feelings after a meal – hunger or satiety. Eating products containing a lot of protein induces the phenomenon of postprandial thermogenesis. The heat produced after eating a protein meal, increases the metabolic rate and increases the feeling of satiety. Therefore, a diet rich in protein improves the effectiveness of weight loss. Decreasing appetite, which results from the reduction of the glycemic effect of a meal, can also be achieved by eating a combination of peanuts and vinegar. Thus, systematic weight loss can be achieved through regular exercise and the use of a reasonable diet. The effectiveness of the slimming program can be significantly improved by using vitamin C supplementation.
LPGN IMMUNE+++ is a very good source of high quality vitamin C. It is a unique combination of natural ingredients with proven safe action and effectiveness in strengthening the immune system. A blend of pure vitamin C with a unique delivery system (citrus bioflavonoids and lipid metabolites) is absorbed faster and retained more in the body. It supports the immune system and increases resistance to infections and viruses.

Edited by Marco Valigi, Caspian Security Issues. Conflicts, cooperation and energy supplies, Edizioni Epoké, Novi Ligure, 2014
The Caucasus and the Caspian areas have been a core interest for the main actors of international politics from the Persian Empire to the 21st century Chinese power. However, the internal and systemic constraints that once drove various political powers to compete for the control of the area has changed throughout history. This collective study will focus on issues such as the positional relevance of this region in the major powers' policies, the peculiar legal status of the Caspian Basin (saline as a sea, closed like a lake), the energy policies of some of the Caucasian countries and the role of these strategic resources as a cause for possible conflicts or, conversely, as effective means for their non-violent resolution.These topics will be examined within nine essays from various fields of analysis, such as political science, legal studies, history and economy to ensure each topic is addressed with the appropriate depth of inquiry.
Marco Valigi (1980), PhD University of Pavia (2007) and postdoctoral Researcher at Memorial University of Newfoundland (2009). Local coordinator of GR:EEN FP7 Project at ISPI, Milan (2010-2012).

Disney reimagines The Lion King using photo-realistic animation, a technology far beyond the original animated version while not quite using talking animals. It's a powerful and often frightening experience for very young children telling the familiar story about a boy and his kingdom but as Disney movies usually indicate, life is unpredictable. Diverse animals live together ruled by the wise lion Mufasa who encourages and protects his citizens. He is killed and his evil brother Scar, one of the great villains in film history, takes the throne for himself. Mufasa's son, the cub Simba, the true king, is driven away. He's taken in by warthog and meerkat Pumbaa and Timon whose laid back humour and nuggets of wisdom hidden in sarcasm reboot him.

Simba returns home years later to reclaim what's his, facing Scar and his horrible hyenas. Jon Favreau's version looks close to real for all the digitization and retains its classic, horrific elements of loss, murder and violence. An that's balanced by moments of profound love. That familiar soundtrack and new soundscape marry traditional regional African music with the sweep of Broadway and Beyoncé's heart-swelling song Spirit. Danny Glover, James Earl Jones, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Alfre Woodard, Chance the Rapper and Billy Eichner lead a terrific voice cast. Here's Bey as Nala.

Rapper Awkwafina proved herself a gifted comic actor in Crazy Rich Asians and now she owns drama in The Farewell. She's Billi, a Chinese-born, U.S.-raised New Yorker in a tenuous relationship with her parents; they go to China to spend time with her grandmother Nai-Nai who is expected to die soon. Thing is, granny doesn't know, the family hides the reason they are there with a hastily staged wedding. Billi thinks the lie is wrongheaded but toes the family line to keep the peace and finds unexpected humour and pathos. Never sentimental, never inauthentic, writer/director Lulu Wang hits all the nerves – she should know – it's her story. It's more heartfelt than dour, it's fun, sweet, provocative, and demands serious inner reflection. One of the year's most moving films brings tears weeks after seeing it. Well done, Awkwafina, the conflicted heart of the story. Remember The Farewell come awards season.

Jesse Eisenberg goes against type as a nervous nelly in Riley Stearns' black comedy The Art of Self Defense. Instead of his trademark frenetic, brilliant, fast-talking characters, he's the classic "Before" man of fifties comic book advertising, nerdy, tentative and afraid of his own shadow. He's also borderline mean to the only creature that can't hurt him back, his little wiener dog, so we're not 100% onboard for him. He's badly roughed up by street bikers then enlists in a dojo to study martial arts where he learns from his sociopathic sensei (an hilariously outsized Allessandro Nivola) and his vicious assistant (Imogen Poots) that successful fighting is primarily mental. Stearns packs the script with neato facts about the arts "Punch with feet kick with the hands" and nonsense philosophies that make it seem as though breaking off an opponent's arm might be construed excellent. The sanseis and Eisenberg interact, but the students merely do what they're told and stare straight ahead, frightened for their lives. Eisenberg has some success and gradually joins the bosses in a kind of contagious psychopathy from which no good can come. Its' surreal and funny and at the exact same moments, sickening, verging on horror. Still wondering if its good or if it stinks.

Push is a rude and necessary wakeup call to the state of fair housing around the world. Leilani Farha, the UN Special Rapporteur on Adequate Housing and based in Toronto travels to London, New York, Hong Kong, Toronto, Tokyo, Valparaiso, Sydney, Melbourne, Caracas, Barcelona, Paris, Amsterdam, Stockholm and sees the same scenario in each city – affordable housing is disappearing. Liberty Village at King and Dufferin rents increased 425% in 30 years while income increased only by 123%. Long term residents are pushed out of neighbourhoods to make way – legally – for luxury housing for the wealthy, often as investments by foreigners. Often, they sit empty, as homelessness increases in the same neighbourhoods. Director Fredrik Gertten digs for answers with international experts and discovers something far more insidious than gentrification as the cause of this imbalance, foundational government negligence. Increasing deregulation allows companies like Blackstock to buy up entire neighbourhoods and superheat markets, then move on the next and the next. This clear-eyed, deeply disturbing investigation into government and market forces that quash citizens makes greed visible and reminds us that as the UN decrees, housing is a human right. Economist Milton Friedman presages Donald Trump with his ideology "not to be concerned with morality, don't give losers your winnings". Add corruption, legalese, airtight money laundering, complexity and more.

Great opening title in the nifty Chinese indie noir Absurd Accident advises We read the world wrong and say it deceives us!! How true. Li Yuhe's Fargo-esque crime thriller takes place in the countryside in and around a diner owned by a sleepless, impotent man and his fiery, bat-wielding wife – his tigress. He hires a hitman to wipe her out when he discovers she's cheating. Thing is, he read it wrong and has to backtrack fast and it is well beyond his capabilities. The maddening minutiae of everyday life help this little gem whiz along as bizarre subplots and moments play out. It pokes fun at cliched tropes like the cop on the night shift set to retire the next day, offers profitable new uses for gum, and lets the air out of pretension and certainty. Nothing's what it seems. Oddly the characters' breath can be seen in most scenes, indoor and out. Make of that what you wish. Absurd Accident stars Xixu Chen, Ye Gao, Suxi Ren, Bo Dong, Yunfei Lou and a host of Fargo steals. On Amazon Prime Video and Vimeo on Demand.

Larry Weinstein's Propaganda: The Art of Selling Lies examines another way people are manipulated and abused for profit. Advertising is as old as the hills as we learn how people learned to sell the sizzle and not the steak. Today it's in overdrive, popping up on your screens, in all media, from sides of barns to explosive colourful sound and motion in most city centres. It works. People are consumed by consuming, lured by seductive bombardment. And its not just for fine whiskeys, movies and high-end purses, its for government and elections and political will. Just ask Russia. Political brainwashing, attack on minds, unconscious submission are not good for us.
[youtube url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZP2H00aOR0″ width="500″ height="300″]
Art is propaganda, from Orwell's 1984, to Cree artist Kent Monkman's rejigged historic Plein Air paintings to serve a larger meaning, the Irish guy that came up with that iconic, heroic portrait of Che Guevara, the propaganda of war, cinema, TV reality shows, street art, Royal Weddings, the deadly attack on Charlie Hebdo over a cartoon etc. Westerner Morten Travik is an event planner in North Korea who claims we're being fed lies about the state. In the wrong hands, propaganda is deadly and it's in every aspect of modern life. Even Weinstein's film is subversive, adhering to his agenda. The film presents many more examples of "persuasion" from ISIS video art to the films of Steve Bannon. It's exhausting and depressing and it's not fake, it's all too real.

Substitution rules
Substituting during regular season:
- A player replacing must be a current TFIM member.
- A player can only replace in any higher level of the same club.
- The replacement player is not limited to a given team per higher level and can replace in more than one higher level. She can play a maximum of 3 times per higher level.
- The replacement player can play on any of the 3 courts and her CRA is used for the enforcement of the CRA rule 2.2.6.
- A team can have a maximum of 2 substitute players per match.
- A player cannot replace a player in another team of her own level.
- Only clubs that have a level V are allowed substitutes in level IV. The name of the player and a CRA factor (minimum 2.00) must be specified to the level statistician BEFORE the match.
- Details
Which court when substituting in a higher level:
The CRA formula works the same whether substituting or playing in your own level.CRA committee
- At the beginning of the season, every player's CRA factor is adjusted to her level; therefore, the basic CRA of the substitute should be lower than the CRA of any player from the upper levels. Normally, the sub plays on court #3.
- As the season progresses, the player who wins has a growing CRA factor. Therefore, if you are a winner and substituting in a weaker upper level team, it is possible that you will have a higher CRA than some players on the upper level team. You can find yourself playing on court 2 or exceptionally on court #1.
- Details
- Hits: 7861
Substitution Season 2016-17 report:
- 44 substitutions where 2 were on court #2 & 42 on court #3
- 5 level II replaced in level I
- 2 level III replaced in level I
- 31 level III replaced in level II
- 6 level IV replaced in level III
- 8 MATCHES OR 16 REPLACEMENTS where 2 Substitutes played together for a total of 36 MATCHES.
Replacing in the post season
Topic: Replace an injured player in a post season game during the first 15 minutes of play, warming up period:
Following the very constructive remarks from the captains, the following clarifications are issued by the CA.
- The substitute player joins the player having no partner. If their total CRA no longer complies with the CRA rule, this duo changes court to comply with the rule.
- At no time is the alignment completely changed. Respecting the CRA rule requires a change of court only.
- The opponents maintain their original alignment.
- On the score sheet, the name of the injured player must be superimposed by the substitute and if the courts have changed, clearly indicate the change. Send a readable score sheet to the statistician.
Exception for level 1 (due to CRA rules and rules concerning the 5.0 and 5.5 players):
- If and only if the player who finds herself without a partner must absolutely stay on 1 or 2 and the substitute lowers the CRA total of the duo, the team may make changes to the line-up to ensure that the TFIM rules are maintained.
Why does the CRA count for the substitute?
The simple answer is that the substitute plays a match in the league and all our matches are supported by the CRA rule (calculation to respect non-stacking in a line-up). The formula takes into account the CRA factor for each player regardless of her level.
- One substitute is different from another; she can have a higher CRA factor than some players of the team in which she replaces. The formula does not distinguish between the substitute and the player in the level where she replaces therefore the CRA of the player replacing must be used to place her on the right court to follow the rule.
- The number of games won is important in the formula; the closer the results are in a match the less variation in the CRA factor.

Gun violence. It's the term on everyone's lips these days, and with good reason.
Abdoul Abdi's sister Fatuma once told me that the reason she and Abdoul do not speak Somali is because when they would speak to each other in their language, the workers would put them on time out and isolate them in their rooms, accusing them of plotting together to escape.

Black Canadians are twice as likely as those in the overall Canadian population to have low incomes, get shot, be unemployed and to encounter systemic bias that interferes with equal access to goods and services. The financial world is no exception.

Publishers have suspended support for the first generation Kindle. Whenever they issue a new e-book or update an existing one, this is another title that incompatible. Why is this happening? It has to do with the AZW format, publishers are no longer using it and this is the only e-book type that the original Kindle can read.
If you have an original Kindle and try and purchase a modern e-book from the last two or three years you will notice your Kindle is grayed out and flagged as incompatible with the book. Many people have pinged Amazon tech support and the canned answer is "it is a matter of incompatible format; that is, none of the books will work on the old Kindles, the solution is to buy a new Kindle."
By flagging all books as 'incompatible' Amazon frees themselves from the cost of testing books for K1 compatibility and troubleshooting problems. The files may work on K1s, or they may not. Easier for Amazon just to assume they won't work.

Basically, the professional process of printing anything in wide sized materials is called digital wide format printing. The process is done with the help of numerous desktop publishing programs alongside other digital means. Some of the most common items used through this method include advertising signs, murals and posters. For people who prefer the digital wide format printing, they have to be aware of the various kinds of paper available in the choices for the final product. Before going through and finalisation of the paper choice, take into account the kind of document you want and how that particular document will be used. The ideal material or paper for products depends on the usage; frequent usage and exposure requires durable paper.
Kind of Paper
Copy paper and bond paper are available in wide sizes from around 11 inches up to 17 inches; these types of paper greatly vary in thickness and brightness. If you plan on displaying the document, consider laminating the product right after printing in order to better preserve the material; lamination prevents damage and ripping. Majority of clients use the smaller sizes for common day-to-day documents.
Coated and uncoated offset lithography papers are not recommended for wide format digital format printing as well as for products that were intended for frequent usage. Because of the amount of high moisture content that this kind of paper has, it tends to easily wrinkle when used for any kind of digital printing. On the other hand, carbonless papers are only made for digital printing; it was not intended for any other kind of printing. All units contain dyes that are encapsulated and then released whenever they pass under a printing thus resulting in image transfers from one sheet to the next.
We also have something called all-purpose personalised stickers which can obviously be used for just about any kind of printers including inkjet, digital and offset; they're also used on fax machines and copiers. All-purpose papers come in numerous sizes for printing materials in wide formats.
Recycles papers and rag bonds are a bit pricier compared to your usual papers for printing. Recycled papers come from either industrial waste of post-consumer waste. Meanwhile, rag bonds are made from both cotton and wood fibers. Because both of these paper products feature textured quality, people include them in designs.
Take note that prints intended for windows, posts, walls and any other surface to make them appear like murals make use of self-adhesive photo papers. Available in outdoor and indoor, the best kinds properly absorb x-banner printer ink and can be repositioned and removed.

Ever been burned out?
Thinking of going ahead with that breakdown?
Have you considered losing it three times already today?
You're not alone and have something of real value to offer today!
I am so excited for my favorite Googler and great friend, Rachael O'Meara on the release of her book today! Soon she'll be on our Little Bird Marketing our our Podcast, Ponderings from the Perch but until then her message just can't be missed! It's time you made the space for Pause: Harnessing the Life Changing Power of Giving Yourself a Break.
Rachael wrote Pause after returning to Google from an unpaid leave after realizing she was burned out. The lessons she learned were life altering that she felt compelled to share her insights to help others facing similar experiences.
So what is a "pause"? Rachael defines a pause as any intentional shift in behavior that allows a mental shift in attitude, thoughts, or emotions that otherwise wouldn't have occurred. Pausing is for everyone. Rachael takes us through the different types of pauses to take, from mini and daily pauses, to an unintended pause (layoff), to digital device pauses, to extended pauses. A pause is about taking a time-out to create the space for your inner voice to be heard and to align your actions with that voice in order lead a more meaningful, fulfilled life.
Rachael also shares the five signs that you may need a pause. Have you had any of the five telltale signs?
Sign 1: You used to love your job and now you loathe it
Sign 2: Your boss tells you it's not working out
Sign 3: You have an intervention that separates you from your work or technology
Sign 4: A major life event, challenge, or change happens
Sign 5: A New Opportunity reveals itself, which could appear as an irresistible, high-risk opportunity.
Rachael thinks of the book containing three layers. First is Rachael's narrative of her experience. The second is a how-to guide to create your own "Pause Plan" that works for you along with how to keep your "pause mindset." The book is filled with practical tools to put to use immediately and can lead to longer, larger changes if that's of interest to you. The third layer weaves in research and insights borrowed from psychology, existentialism, and neuroscience-based research.
According to Rachael, pausing can boost your emotional intelligence by tuning in so you can act, feel, and communicate authentically and responsibly. The book highlights twelve "pause stories" ranging from Danielle LaPorte's Digital Device Pause, to Lissa Rankin MD's perfect storm, to Joe Kutcher's unintended layoff pause. Each person recounts their story of their version of pausing, and their top tips on how to pause successfully.
Regardless of how much time, money, or resources you have, Pause is a great find. Explore the different ways you can choose to meaningfully pause—whether for mini pauses of sixty seconds, daily pauses, digital device pauses, or longer time periods of several weeks or months to lead the most satisfying and fulfilling life you choose.
Clearly Pausing is a hot topic. Want more? Check out these gems:

(I hope you guys like this one. I kinda drew a blank on the idea I originally came up with but hopefully, you still like it. I feel like the quality of my imagines are slowly diminishing.)
YOUR POV: "BOONON!! COME HERE!" I called. "What did I tell you about calling me boonon?" He said, walking over to me from the kitchen. "I don't know. What did you say?" I teased. He shook his head and rolled his eyes. "This kid...." he muttered. "So what did you want?" He asked, sitting at my feet. I sat up and wrapped my arms around him. "You~~." I kissed his cheek and snuggled closer to him. "Ugh....I told you about this lovey dovey stuff." He blushes slightly. "Oh, but you love it....just admit it." I look him in the eyes and smirks. He sighs. "Aww....you're so cute." He tackles me down on the couch and showers me with small butterfly kisses. On my neck and shoulder. I giggled slightly, smiling. He looked up at me and smiled, his blush slowly fading. I admire his sweet facial features and run my hand through his hair, looking at him adoringly. He sighs and bites his lip. "I know I'm not the most romantic guy you have been with but......I love you, (Y/N). So much. Sometimes it scares me when I catch myself thinking about having a future with you. But then you act cute or just behave like yourself and I understand why I fell for you like I did." He tells me, holding my hand and stroking my palm with his thumb. "And when we have moments like this, I feel extremely lucky for being able to be with you like this....... I know I'm in deep because I caught myself daydreaming about having a family with you a couple moments ago and I'm only 17...and I only got a few dollars." He quotes his friend, Vernon. I chuckle slightly at the joke. He looks at me. SEUNGKWAN'S POV: I looked down at (Y/N) as she laughed at my joke. I love her laugh. Its like music to me. She stops laughing and looks up at me, smiling lovingly. "I love you too Kwanny! I love how you're not romantic and how I can annoy you with my lovey dovey-ness......is that even a word?" She asks. "I'm pretty sure it's not." I chuckle. She and I laugh. But she stops and looks me in the eyes. "But in all seriousness, I do the same. I imagine us being together forever......making a family. It makes me blush just thinking about it..." she covers her face self consciously. I take her hands off her face and lean down, kissing her softly. She responds immediately, sighing contentedly. I pull back and she looks up at me and giggles. "Maybe someday we can have a family~" I suggest. "Yeah....we could have little baby boonons!" She jokes. I laugh and shake my head. "I like the sound of that." (A/N: This was a little more chill than my other imagines. I hope you still liked it. I think it was a little too sweet. Hopefully, I didn't give you cavities.)

The theory of linear forms in logarithms (Baker's method) is a very useful tool for solving Diophantine equations. After introducing some background and important milestones, I will present recent results on linear forms in two $p$-adic logarithms, where an upper bound for the $p$-adic valuation of two integral powers of algebraic numbers (that is $v_p(\alpha_1^{b_1} - \alpha_2^{b_2})$) is established. The bound has a good dependence on the logarithm of $b_1$ and $b_2$. Finally, I will briefly present the solutions to a variant of Pillai's problem. (The last part is a joint work with I. Pink and V. Ziegler.)

Gotta agree with everyone who says replace the mailbag mat. The other benches aren't going to be on video every week.
Would it be possible to use a UV protection film on your windows to keep the mats looking spiffy if you do decide to replace them?
110V is another story.

Meet Simba
Simba was born in Annan, Jordan. As a young pup a gang of boys tortured him, cutting off half of his ear and most of his tail. They broke his hind legs and kicked out most of his teeth. A rescue intervened and got Simba the medical attention he needed to survive. In a twist of fate, a family in Buffalo, NY learned of this dog's suffering and raised the money to fly him across the ocean and adopt him. They loved him so much but unfortunately did not understand the need for "working dog" breeds to have boundaries and rules. He didn't want to ever lose his family and his new home so he became increasingly territorial of the property which was unsafe as the family had a day care center in their home. They reached out to several organizations who had no room for Simba. Miraculously we received their voicemail on a Thursday evening and reached out to the family Friday just as Simba was on his way to be euthenized.
We are so grateful that Simba's life was spared a second time. He is now looking at his third chance at life! Not many dogs get that opportunity. Simba has done excellently at the rescue. He has made fast friends withe very volunteer he has met. He walks wonderfully on a leash and loves to play and cuddle.
Simba has done well with some dogs, but not all. He seems okay with cats. Simba needs a best friend and a strong leader he can trust to teach him the rules and boundaries to keep him safe. He is happy to learn and seeks to please his people. We believe Simba is alive for a reason. Maybe you are that reason? Maybe you are missing this dog from your life?
UPDATE: Simba is looking for the perfect forever home! He has become a bit particular. He will need a potential adopter to come meet him several times before warming up. Based on this, we will only be entertaining applicants in local area.
Simba is netuered, up-to-date on shots and house trained. Please ONLY inquire about Simba if you are expereinced with "working dog" breeds. If you would like to setup a meet-and-greet please contact The Canine Rescue of Central PA at 717-232-1644 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Doing These 9 Things Will Make You a Successful Businessman/Businesswoman (Hint: Renting Black Car Service Is One of Them)July 3rd, 2019
Having your own start-up and seeing it develop into a big and successful business is priceless. Even though it's extremely challenging and requires a lot of work and sleepless nights, it's worth the struggle.
Not every business will grow to become successful, and you will need to dedicate a lot of time and energy if you don't want it to fail. While some mistakes are completely normal and maybe even inevitable, some of them can be fatal and cost you your company.
Having said that, you should know which aspects of every business are the most important ones, so you can concentrate on those and don't waste time on the things that aren't as important. Let's talk about what to do in order to have a successful business, shall we?
1. Focus on a Clear Vision
This is one of the most important things to have in mind, especially in the beginning. Why? Because if you don't know what will the main purpose and idea of your business be, why bother starting at all.
Start with market research, see what the audience wants and connect that to your areas of expertise. After knowing exactly what you want to base your business ideas on, it will be much easier to focus.
It's also important not to waste your energy on million different projects and ideas. Everyone is afraid to fail, and it may seem scary to have only one plan. However, you should channel all your time and resources onto one idea for a business that you're passionate about.
2. Don't Underestimate "To Do" Lists and Good Organization
Even though it may seem that there are too many things to do, especially at the beginning, and that any type of organization couldn't help move things faster, this is not true. Not only is it easier to track what you've done and what needs to be finished, but it also offers significant psychological satisfaction when you see the checklist getting shorter.
That's why every successful businessman/businesswoman has a little book, calendar, or even an assistant to help him/her organize as much as possible. However, don't forget to be flexible as well. Not everything will go as planned, and that's why flexibility and good temper is the key to success.
3. Rent a Black Car!
What a better way to organize your daily tasks than from the backseat of a comfortable black car service closeby, with a chauffeur that will always take care of your rides and take the stress out of traveling when you need to be punctual for your meetings or when catching flights.
"Which black car company in Chicago should I hire?" you may wonder. Legendary Private Car should be your choice if you want a prompt and reliable transportation service. Whether you need a black car ride to the airport, for a point to point service or for a couple of hours during your busy day, you can count on Legendary Private Car to always offer the best vehicles as well as rides so you can organize your business while careful drivers mind the road.
Although to many it may seem like an unnecessary waste of money, you can be sure that renting a black car company in the vicinity will only help your business grow because instead of being stressed out with the traffic, you can focus your energy on working while having someone else drive you around. And with the rates that are as affordable as those at Legendary Private Car, you're in a win-win situation.
It's additionally a very nice and efficient way to impress your clients and potential investors while driving in Legendary Private Car's luxurious fleet and enjoying the comfort and convenience of executive sedans. Your clients will be assured you mean business as soon as they see a vehicle waiting for them and driving them to any location.
4. Spend Just the Right Amount of Money
While it's important not to splurge and spend the money on the things that you don't need and that don't benefit your business, it's also important not to spend too little or completely ignore the crucial things that can only help you.
Just like making sure that your transportation is taken care of at fantastic rates (with Legendary Private Car as your reliable black car company near your location!), it's also important to invest your money in marketing and the job well-done. If you pay too little for a job that's important for your business, it's most likely that it won't be done well and you'll end up paying even more to correct it.
If you're wondering how to know what to spend money on and where to save up, you should make a list of priorities and invest your money according to that list. Every business is different, and every company requires different money distribution, and that's why you need to make the list in order to know on which things you shouldn't save money as well as energy and focus.
5. Hire the Right People
First of all, don't hire workers if you don't actually need them from the beginning. A lot of businessmen/businesswomen feel pressure to have employees as soon as they start with the business, and that can be a grave mistake. Those employees usually don't have a precise job since the company is new and therefore the owners spend time and resources without a justified reason.
However, you shouldn't avoid hiring people as soon as you notice that you need help with some aspects of the business either. It's essential to know precisely for which positions you need the employees because only in this way you'll know which traits will be relevant.
You will need employees that work hard and care about the business as much as you do so make sure to hire passionate people who will always improve and with whom you'll get along well.
Also, make sure to hire the right people when it comes to your corporate transportation as well. For your rides to meetings, airport and while running errands, you'll need a reliable and efficient black car company near your location, and that's exactly what you can expect from Legendary Private Car chauffeurs.
6. Care About Your Customers
The most important part of every business idea should be customers and their satisfaction with the products or services that your company offers. Keep that in mind, when you experience customer's criticism and try your best to improve according to them because, at the end of the day, your business will never be successful without happy customers that come back and recommend you.
7. Never Stop Learning
The biggest mistake that businessmen/women make is that, once they become successful and reach their initial goals, they stop learning and developing new ideas. This can be very tricky and it brings a lot of risks. Customers will expect the service to always improve and you'll need to upgrade your business game continuously for as long as you run your company. Not to mention that the market changes all the time, and you need to learn and do the research if you want to be able to provide what the market needs.
8. Use Your Moment
Let's get one thing straight – nothing will ever be perfect, especially if you have a company to run. The worst thing you could do to your business is to be too big of a perfectionist and wait for too long before presenting your products and services. If you wait, you'll be too late, and someone else will offer the similar (if not the same) idea/service/products.
Even though you have to have a good-quality product to offer to the customers, don't wait for too long and use your moment as soon as your intuition (and the market) says it's time. You can always change and fix things along the way thanks to the feedback of your customers. That's why you need to act quickly and take advantage of the right moment.
9. Make Time for Your Private Life
Don't be one of those businessmen/women who fall into a trap and spend every minute of their time at work completely forgetting their friends and family. This can only cause more stress and a quick burnout, which is never a good scenario. Not only will your mental health suffer, but you'll also very quickly stay without the innovative ideas that are important for the business.
As much as hard work pays off and is a must if you want your company to be successful, it's equally important to have a harmonious private life as well. Balance your life and make sure that your schedule leaves space for some free time that will be dedicated to your loved ones, without thinking about work.
Go out, have fun and travel with your friends! And if you're looking for reliable "private car transportation near me" that will be your best option for both business and leisure, you should consider hiring the best airport limo service or a black car company in the vicinity that will gladly take you to any Chicago area that your heart desires. Legendary Private Car will make sure that you enjoy every minute of your free time. Book a ride on demand and experience the most comfortable fleet and skilled black car chauffeurs that will make every traveling adventure, whether for work or pleasure, enjoyable and stress-free.

I seem to have a slight increase in traffic. For new visitors, here's some stuff about me you may want to know–or not… For my regulars, this might be boring stuff. The lovely person I jacked this from is mentioned below.
1.What does your xanga name mean and how'd you come up with it?
Onigiriman means riceball man. I have been slightly pudgy over the years, and I have always likened my face/head to the triangular shape of a riceball. I drew a picture once–a triangle with a pair of sunglasses, and Onigiriman was born. (Yes, this is the original sketch!)
2. Elaborate on your profile pic.
Well, my current profile pic is a shot of me in Hachioji, Tokyo during the Hachioji Summer Festival. I am, as everyone else does at Matsuri, drinking beer. As far as the O-man icon is concerned, I drew it on a paint program on my computer. I think its a bit more refined than the original, primitive O-man in number 1, no?
3. Who introduced xanga to you?
mr_mephisto. She is a former student of mine. When she went to Japan to teach English, she told me about Xanga, that it would be her way of communicating with everyone, and she talked me into signing up. So you can blame her… I swear she has the cutest eyes.
4. How many friends do you have?
Last time I talked about this, I got lambasted by lamangust. But I will say it again. I have very few "good" friends. Maybe five in all. Max. But these are the five who I know would lay their life out for me, as I would for them. Very few people like that…
5. What's your current status?
Alive, barely. Busy, always. Divorced, re-married, one daughter, three stepsons, three grandsons.
6. What are you wearing right now?
Burgundy t-shirt, plaid louging pants.
7. What is life to you?
Lately, it's been about survival. With all the shit that's been going on with the INS and overworking, life is all about making it to the next day healthy and sane. But otherwise, life is about balance: giving and receiving, loving and being loved, and doing anything and everything with the greatest effort I can put forth.
8. What are you doing now?
Writing on Xanga… Oh, you mean in general? I teach J language and lit at a university in DC.
9. What do you hate most?
Jealousy, uncalled for suspicion, and a dearth of respect for others.
10. What do you love most?
In no particular order: College football–especially my Bruins–cooking, eating, beer, Xanga.
11. What makes you happy?
Finding a bunch of comments on my Xanga entry, conducting a lively and fulfilling class, making M laugh.
12. Are you musically inclined?
I used to think so, but RachelsMommy would probably disagree on principle.
13. What would you do if you woke up one morning and found that the person you love most doesn't exist?
I would die if M did not exist… then I'd go drinking or to a movie.
14. If you could go back in time, and change something, what would it be?
Probably not much. I've had my ups and downs like everyone else, but it is precisely the esperiences I had that make me what I am today, and I am more or less happy with who I am…
15. If you MUST be an animal for ONE day, what will you be?
A cat belonging to a rich person. I'd eat then find a pool of sunlight to sleep in. What a life!
16. Ever had a near death experience?
Sorta. I once slipped on a train platform and my leg got caught between the train and the platform. Fortunately, I was able to pull my leg out before the train decided to leave the station, or I'd have had at least one less leg.
17. Name ONE obvious quality you have.
A loud, easily recognizable laugh. Once I was watching a Tora-san movie in LA and was laughing out loud as usual. When the movie ended and the hous lights went on, someone fifteen rows in front of me stood up, looked back and yelled, "Hey, O-man, where you sitting? We all heard you laughing!" It was a friend from I hadn't seen in a while. How embarrassing!
18. What's the name of the song that's stuck in your head right now?
Rasberry Pie by the Nakanomori Band. Damn, this song has occupied my mind and taken control of it for the past week. It's a light pop song with a melody that clings to you like a commercial jingle. Listen to it at your own risk. Thanks Taku.
19. Are you happy today?
As a rule of thumb, I try to be happy everyday.
20. Who will cut and paste this first?
I wouldn't speculate.
21. Are you a pirate?
I plead the 5th.
22. Who did you jack this from?
justbeingV bless her soul…

On Dec. 6, Minnesota sporting director Manny Lagos tweeted that he was scouting in Argentina with head coach Adrian Heath.
Wheeler scored with 47 seconds left in the first, tipping Dustin Byfuglien's shot from the point
Hunter Greene stands 6'?4 and 210 pounds, hits baseballs cheap hockey jerseys 450 feet, throws them 102?mph and gloves them just about anywhere left of second base. When he steps to the plate in batting practice, outfielders shout warnings to the soccer players working out on the adjacent football field, lest they take unexpected headers. At 17, Greene has sent balls out of Petco Park in San?Diego and Wrigley Field in Chicago, which is not to imply that he simply deposited them over the fence with a souped-up metal bat. No, he put them out of the stadium completely, with nothing but muscle and wood. Greene began playing in spikes on 90-foot bases when he was seven. The Dodgers?? area scout met him during a pitching lesson when he cheap nfl jerseys china 2018 was nine, deeming his throwing mechanics flawless. Radar guns clocked him at 93?mph when he was 14, the same year UCLA and USC offered him scholarships, well aware that he probably wouldn??t ever step on campus because his draft stock was already so high.
We're giving up way too many goals and having to rely on Vassy way too much, said right winger Steven Stamkos. We need to take a look in the mirror, starting with myself, and give more of a passionate performance. You can't just go out there and expect to win.
CHICAGO -- In December 2001, a speedy buffalo cheap nfl jersey stores 29-year-old outfielder named Dave Roberts was dealt to the Dodgers for a pair of prospects. The Customized Jacksonville Jaguars jersey following spring, Roberts donned Dodger blue for the first time.

The NHL fined?Andersen $2,000 cheap wholesale jerseys nhl wholesale for diving/embellishment when he fell forward into his own net after David Perron bumped his skate, making him just the second goalie in NHL history to pick up a fine for diving behind Michal Neuvirth's punishment in 2015.
3. A.J. Green was held in check. Since Bill Lazor became the Bengals offensive coordinator in Week 3, Green has been the focal point of the offense, averaging 7.3 receptions on 11 targets per game for 121.0 yards per contest and three total touchdowns. The Steelers put an end to that trend. Green New York Rangers jersey wholesale finished with three catches for 41 yards on just four targets. The All-Pro receiver didn't catch a pass after the first quarter. With the Steelers intent on slowing Green, the Bengals offense was discombobulated and completely off track.
We draft Jonathan Allen, and there's not one person that said one bad thing about him at Alabama, and then you watch him on tape and see what type of motor he has, he said. Same with Ryan Anderson. Take Josh Norman. Why'd we go out and get Josh Norman and give him all that money? Because he plays his a-- off, he's covering, he's tackling, he's hitting, he's forcing fumbles, he's a playmaker.
A lot of things we have to clean up, that's all there is to it. We made it very clear about wanting to play cleaner defense. Making a couple errors when you're not scoring a lot of runs, they stand out. Yeah, it hasn't been quite what we were hoping to see yet. That doesn't mean that's the team we're destined to be. -- Matheny
That's the team effort, Bobrovsky said. You just have to stay focused and play your game no cheap nhl jerseys china paypal site down today matter what.
News about Shohei Ohtani and Giancarlo Stanton has dominated this otherwise calm and quiet Hot Stove season. So wouldn't it be something if they both ended up in the same spot?

I can't remember the last time I was this active with this site. After creating a form for people to use so that they can e-mail me, I learned that there is another way to set it up so it looks better in the user's browser. I started playing around with this, but I haven't decided if I want to activate it now or wait until the new site is up.
Meanwhile, work continues on the new site as I continue to migrate articles. It's not going as well as I expected, due to formatting issues. I was considering getting the new site up and running soon, but a new position and other timing may delay me to later this year or early next year.
My coworkers put together a going-away party for me today. I was really happy to see many people show up from around the Department. Many of them provided food and great conversation. I also received a great card, signed by everyone in my office, and a gift card for Best Buy. Then there was the barnyard animal toys as a gag gift… it was cute. My former supervisor suggested that I purchase ESPN NFL 2K5 for the Xbox, since it's really exciting and it costs about $30 less than Madden NFL 2005. I'm still debating, but I may follow his recommendation (I've added to my Xbox page). At any rate, I really will miss working with such a great group of people, and I am grateful that I was given this opportunity to get my feet wet in public service. The skills I learned will continue to help me as I keep working for the state.
Finally, I made some updates to my Computer Security article. With the release of Windows XP Service Pack 2, I felt that I had to give Microsoft some credit for diligently testing and releasing a host of security updates that will hopefully benefit everyone that downloads and uses them.

Staroniewicz, Jagodziński, Rajski - Tranquillo
Wojciech Staroniewicz - tenor saxophone
Adam Cegielski - bass
Czesław "Mały" Bartkowski - drums
Polish Chamber Orchestra Sopot led by Wojciech Rajski
Arrangements: Włodzimierz Nahorny, Andrzej Jagodziński and Artur Jurek
Tranquillo (Allegro Records, 2012)
By Maciej Nowotny
Wojciech Staroniewicz over a last decade with series of interesting albums like "Karambola" (1999), "Handmade" (2002), "Conversession" (2006), "Alternations" (2008) and "Afreakan Project" (2011), has established himself as an important voice in mainstream jazz in Tri-City region. This project, very aptly titled "Tranquillo", brings to us music that is perhaps the least surprising of all his up-to-date releases. It comprises standards like "The Girl from Ipanema", "Sophisticated Lady" or "Autumn Leaves" and it features only two new compositions both penned by Staroniewicz which however do not change the overall impression of musicians visiting a well known and old turf. All these tunes are arranged in such a way that jazz musicians that is Wojtek Staroniewicz on saxophone, Adam Cegielski on bass and Czesław Bartkowski on drums are supported by strings of Sopot Chamber Orchestra led by Wojciech Rajski. These arrangements are written by Włodzimierz Nahorny, Andrzej Jagodziński i Artur Jurek and are easy-to-listen, light-hearted and dancelike. And such is this music: nothing serious, deep, grave, spiritual. It is rather an expression of pure joy of music making with old friends in tradition of typical for Polish Jazz combination of jazz, classical and pop music. The long list of records by old masters like Jan Ptaszyn Wróblewski (check "Sweat Beat") and Jerzy Milian or recently Krzysztof Herdzin and Włodek Pawlik may be recalled here to support such a point of view. Yet regardless that we are already well acquainted with such a concept of music making I must confess that it is accomplished in such a simple, unpretentious and warm manner that I cannot stop to listen and enjoy it...

REDWOOD CITY, CA (December 19, 2016)—Equilar congratulates Directors & Boards magazine on its 40th anniversary, and is proud to have participated in the anniversary edition by contributing to three editorial features.
David Chun, Founder and CEO of Equilar, authored a byline article entitled "The Cure for Board Amnesia," which discussed how boardrooms must make better use of technology in their recruitment efforts.
"We're very proud to have participated in this milestone issue of Directors & Boards and congratulate them on four decades of success," said Chun.
Regarding his article, Chun added, "the focus of this issue on board recruiting and diversity touches on one of the most important governance issues today. The old way of asking 'who do you know?' simply won't yield enough qualified candidates for board seats. Great directors are out there, and boards have the opportunity to use big data to find them."
Click here to view the article
Chun was also interviewed for the feature "Trends in Board Recruitment," which focused on diversity more specifically. The piece, written by David Shaw, also included commentary from Judith M. von Seldeneck, Founder and Chairman of Diversified Search. The article outlined how companies seek out diverse perspectives on boards, extending that concept not only to gender and race or ethnicity, but also to age and skillsets. Since baby boomer directors are approaching retirement age as a generation, current boards must be prepared to replace themselves with experienced individuals who are operating in a corporate America with vastly different demographics than what used to be the status quo.
Finally, Equilar Director of Content Amit Batish penned a byline "Three Ways to Start Building Board Diversity." The "how-to" article acknowledges that adding diverse directors is easier said than done, but every board can put in a recruiting and succession plan that seeks out unique perspectives on an ongoing basis starting with these three steps.
