The Wersi Software Expansion Pack for Wersi OAS Products is a fantastic expansion pack for Wersi OAS products. Since the OAS 7 R44 we offer a revision of the most important styles and a new assignment of the style buttons. Since the beginning of the Open Art-system the styles have been changed only little, some have been expanded. New demands that arise by using the Open Art-arranger have not influenced these styles so far. By using different arrangers in the past there were complications e.g. with the harmony detection.
For the now installed styles the old styles were expanded with three intros and endings, 4 new fills and a logical assignment of the ACC-tracks.
The main features of the Wersi Software Expansion Pack for Wersi OAS Products include:

Listen Up! 4 Recruiting Voices You Should Be Listening To Now
Learning from the best is a natural part of business. It's especially important if you want to keep up–to-date on all the new and exciting innovations in the worlds of Marketing, Human Resources and Recruiting! Influencers each have their own take and tone on subject matter, so the more of them you follow, the greater your arsenal of knowledge.
These four influencers not only bring great content to the table, but their voices continue to echo throughout the industry. As Recruiting best practices grow, these thought leaders have the insights that help recruiters put thought into action.
- Tim Sackett has been a leader in the industry for 20 years, splitting his time between HR and talent backgrounds. He's the Executive Vice President of HRU Technical Resources, and frequently writes articles for Fistful of Talent and TLNT. You can follow Tim on twitter @TimSackett. In his most recent snippet for Fistful of Talent, Tim asks the question "Are you an employee friendly company?" to push companies to take a look at how they are treating their employees, instead of just saying, "Yes" from the get go.
- Mark Babbitt is the CEO and founder of YouTern, a site that connects young jobseekers with mentors and companies for internship positions. Not only does Mark have the resources to help connect jobseekers with potential professions, he also consults and blogs for the Huffington Post about social recruiting. Keep up with Mark @YouTernMark on Twitter. In this article on TheSavvyIntern blog, Mark shares with us the 10 work and life lessons of the Millennial generation.
- Penelope Trunk founded Brazen Careerist and two other successful career startups. Her advice transcends her day-to-day blog, extending to over 200 newspapers for which she's written articles. Stay connected with Penelope @penelopetrunk. In one of her more recent posts, Penelope breaks down the 6 things to do in your 20's that will set you up for the excellent 30's.
- Suzanne Lucas knows corporate human resources. From having spent 10 years in HR departments, this Evil HR Lady can clarify most of your HR troubles in her blog as well as in various articles for Inc.com. A few days ago, Suzanne wrote a compelling article for Inc.com on motivating your employees, stating that just because you aren't blood-related, you are still a tribe!
It's undeniable how influential these experts are in the Human Resources and Recruiting industries! Make sure to follow them. Who else do you view as an industry guru? What do you think it takes to become an expert in this field? I'd love to hear what you have to share in the comments below!

By TRAVIS BRADBERRY
We all want our children to become leaders.
Whether they spend the bulk of their days in the mailroom or at the corner of the office, we want our children to grow to be courageous, passionate and authentic. We want their actions to inspire other people to be their best, to get more out of life than they ever thought possible.
As parents and caretakers of children, their path to leadership is in our hands.
We can model and teach the skills that will equip them to lead themselves and others in this hypercompetitive world, or we can allow them to fall victim to the kind of thinking that makes them slaves to the status quo.
It's a big responsibility—but when isn't being a parent a massive responsibility?
The beauty of building children into leaders is that it's the little things we do every day that mould them into the people they'll become.
Focus on the eight actions below, and you'll build leadership in your children and yourself.
#1 Model emotional intelligence (EQ)
Emotional intelligence is that "something" in each of us that is a bit intangible; it affects how we manage behaviour, navigate social complexities, and make personal decisions that achieve positive results.
Children learn emotional intelligence from their parents, plain and simple. As your children watch you every day, they absorb your behaviour like a sponge. Children are particularly attuned to your awareness of emotions, the behaviour you demonstrate in response to strong emotions, and how you react and respond to their emotions.
#2 Don't obsess about achievement
Parents get sucked into obsessing about achievement because they believe that this will turn their children into high achievers. Instead, fixating on achievement creates all sorts of problems for kids. This is especially true when it comes to leadership, where focusing on individual achievement gives kids the wrong idea about how work gets done.
Simply put, the best leaders surround themselves with great people because they know they can't do it alone. Achievement-obsessed children are so focused on awards and outcomes that they never fully understand this.
All they can see is the player who's handed the MVP (Most Valuable Player) trophy and the celebrity chief executive officer who makes the news—they assume it's all about the individual. It's a rude awakening once they discover how real life works.
#3 Don't praise too much
Children need praise to build a healthy sense of self-esteem. Unfortunately, piling on the praise doesn't give them extra self-esteem.
Children need to believe in themselves and develop the self-confidence required to become successful leaders, but if you gush every time they put pen to paper or kick a ball (the "everyone gets a trophy" mentality), this creates confusion and false confidence.
Always show your children how proud you are of their passion and effort; just don't paint them as superstars when you know it isn't true.
#4 Allow them to experience risk and failure
Success in business and in life is driven by risk. When parents go overboard protecting their children, they don't allow them to take risks and reap the consequences. When you aren't allowed to fail, you don't understand risk.
A leader can't take appropriate risks until he or she knows the bitter taste of failure that comes with risking it all and coming up short.
The road to success is paved with failure. When you try to shield your children from failure in order to boost their self-esteem, they have trouble tolerating the failure required to succeed as a leader. Don't rub their face in it either.
Children need your support when they fail. They need to know you care. They need to know that you know how much failure stings. Your support allows them to embrace the intensity of the experience and to know that they'll make it through it all right. That, right there, is solid character building for future leaders.
#5 Say 'No'
Overindulging children is a sure-fire way to limit their development as leaders. To succeed as a leader, one must be able to delay gratification and work hard for things that are really important. Children need to develop this patience.
They need to set goals and experience the joy that comes with working diligently towards them. Saying "no" to your children will disappoint them momentarily, but they'll get over that. They'll never get over being spoilt.
#6 Let children solve their own problems
There's a certain self-sufficiency that comes with being a leader. When you're the one making the calls, you should also be the one who needs to stay behind and clean up the mess they create.
When parents constantly solve their children's problems for them, children never develop the critical ability to stand on their own two feet.
Children who always have someone swooping in to rescue them and clean up their mess spend their whole lives waiting for this to happen. Leaders take action. They take charge. They're responsible and accountable. Make certain your children are as well.
#7 Walk your talk
Authentic leaders are transparent and forthcoming. They aren't perfect, but they earn people's respect by walking their talk.
Your children can develop this quality naturally, but only if it's something they see you demonstrate.
To be authentic, you must be honest in all things—not just in what you say and do but also in who you are. When you walk your talk, your words and actions will align with who you claim to be. Your children will see this and aspire to do the same.
#8 Show that you're human
No matter how indignant and defiant your children are at any moment, you're still their hero and their model for the future.
This can make you want to hide your past mistakes for fear that they'll be enticed to repeat them. The opposite is true. When you don't show any vulnerability, your children develop intense guilt about every failure because they believe that they're the only ones to make such terrible mistakes.
To develop as leaders, children need to know that the people they look up to aren't infallible. Leaders must be able to process their mistakes, learn from them and move forward to be better people.
Children can't do this when they're overcome by guilt. They need someone—a real, vulnerable person—to teach them how to process mistakes and learn from them. When you show them how you've done this in the past, you're doing just that.
Bringing it all together
We can mould our children into leaders, but only if we work at it. Few things in life are as worth your time and effort as this.

She studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and then in 1865 she convinced her family to send her to Paris. There she took private lessons from academic painters since women were not allowed to study at the School of Fine Arts. Although her European art education was interrupted by the Franco-Prussian war, she was later able to live in Italy, Spain, Belgium, and Holland and study the works of European masters, as well as learn from local experts. She eventually settled in Paris, where her work was regularly shown at the Salon.
The American Impressionist
In 1877 Edgar Degas asked her to join the group of independent artists that were later to be know as the Impressionists. She exhibited in four of their eight exhibitions.
Cassatt was influenced by all the avante guard artists, especially by Degas, who would become a mentor. However she developed her own style and subject matter, painting scenes that related to the world of upperclass women of her era; tending to children, socializing, reading, and going to parks, cafes, plays, and the opera.
Sentive Portraits
I am especially drawn to the work of Mary Cassatt because of her insightful paintings of people. She was a master in both pastel and oil. Her canvases show a mass of loose brushwork that convey a sense of movement and life, but at the same time her figures seem both solid and three dementional.
Mary Cassatt never married and had no offspring, but she clearly had an understanding of the special bond between mothers and their children, which became a specialty for her. These portraits are tender and warm, depicting intimate everyday moments without sentimentality.
Japanese Influences
In the late 1800's Japanese woodblock prints became available and were very popular for their artistic merit and their novelty. In 1890 after seeing an exhibition of Japanese prints, Cassatt began to work on a series of etchings and aquatints that have a distinctly Japanese feel. She experimented with designs that cropped and flattened the subject, creating dynamic compositions with interesting negative space. (Negative space is the shape created by the subject against a background.)
Bold Brushwork
Another reason I admire Mary Cassatt's work is her use of bold, painterly brushstrokes and varying patterns and textures that support the figures in her paintings. In the painting above the textured upholstery contrasts with the girl's frilly dress, the smooth carpet, and the plaid sash and socks, while the shapes of the chairs move the viewer's eye around the painting.
In this painting I love the soft enigmatic features of the women as well as the beautifully rendered silver tea service. The texture of the wall, chair, and chair fabric all support the strong figures and convey the feeling of a comfortable bourgeois household.
A Trailblazing Artist
Mary Cassatt was a master painter in a time when it was extremely difficult for a woman to be educated in art, be financially successfully as an artist, and receive acclaim for her work. The fact that she was able to do all three is a testament to her determination, drive, and vision.

The 16 Cancers campaign is an emotionally intense and graphic style campaign that encourages smokers to quit by highlighting that smoking has been linked to up to 16 different types of cancer. 16 Cancers focuses on the distress of a cancer diagnosis and the devastating impact that cancer caused by smoking can have on the quality of life of a smoker (long before old age) and their family.
The 16 Cancers campaign specifically addresses lung, bowel, stomach and bladder cancer.
16 Cancers was licenced from the Cancer Council WA in 2015, and was successfully adapted for use in NSW for the first broadcast of the campaign in May-June 2016. Development of 16 Cancers was informed by research which showed that less than a quarter of Western Australians could name more than two types of smoking-related cancer.[i] In NSW, awareness levels are similar to those in WA, with only 27.9% of people being able to name two or more cancers caused by smoking.[ii]
The campaign conveys a compelling message to quit "Smoking causes 16 different types of cancer. You've got one clear way to reduce your risk".
Cancer Council WA
The second broadcast of the campaign runs from October 23 to December 3, 2016 across the following media:
Quit smoking support is available through iCanQuit.com.au and the NSW Quitline (13 7848).

Homegroove Project release Miss Me with Bobby Terrance remix
The latest Balanced release showcases a new signing from the UK based production duo Homegroove Project. They're teamed up with some longtime Balanced artists and venture into a wide spectrum of soulful, techy and deep floor fillers.
Miss Me ,the title track, masterfully fuses a crisp broken beat over warm pads and soulful vocal jabs. KASM's remix is an expedition to a futuristic bass guided journey darkening and cutting up the original vocal while peppering the track with percussive accents and farsighted synths.
Montreal bass producer Turtilian enters the release under his BOBBY TERRANCE alias and launches into hyperdrive with frenetic pulsating beats and effects. STEPHANE LEFRANCOIS explores the melodic elements of Miss Me, taking it to a dreamy late night space while RISE ASHEN rounds out the remixes with a chill, head nodding downbeat version that neatly complements the fast pace of the other mixes. Finally, Conflictions showcases the duo's versatility with a meditative slow burner fed by distant vocal shadows, sparkling keys and subterranean tones.
The Homegroove Project are a UK based production and remix duo creating chilled out, soulful music influenced by electronic and live music across the board.
Originating in the 90s and recording DIY music with a four-track tape deck and some FX pedals, Homegroove Project have continued in different forms over the years. From DJing and making music for underground dance labels, to live bands and bespoke work for media they continue to develop their sound in new forms.
Recent work has received plaudits from renowned DJs and producers including Llorca, Laurent Garnier, Chris Coco and Arnaud Le Texier and they have had the pleasure of remixing artists such as Alif Tree, Kahuun and Shimmer.

The X1 is a beautyMy only gripe is the power switch at the rearI believe it was rear positioned for aesthetic reasons
In all my many years of owning all 3 Lumins....I never used the power switch. You switch off the Lumin remotely with your iPads or Mobile phone.(Audio)
I c I always do physical power on/off
One of the basics for great Hi-Fi sound is to keep your equipment on standby whenever you are not using them. Try it.(Audio)
in the past i used to leave it in standby mode, but now turn it off more often due to rising electricity cost and wanting to reduce carbon footprint
Hi guys, can recommend authorized dealer shops in Hong Kong for Lumin products with good pricing?Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk

Our products in a nutshell
About Tour+Med plans
Deductibles with discounts
Traditional deductibles offered by other carriers are 'per event', no matter where you go for your consultation. Tour+Med's hospital care deductibles are only applicable to claims involving a hospital or ambulance transportation (whether by land or air). Since only 10% of all cases need to be referred to the closest hospital or emergency room, these hospital care deductibles are a wonderful advantage for you! However, in order to compare apples with apples, we also provide traditional deductibles with discounts.
Our premiums automatically include a $0 deductible, but you could choose to add a deductible of $250, $500, $1,000, $2,500, $5,000 or $10,000 in order to save between 5% and 35% on your premium.
Discounts, and even more discounts

The other good news is that this medical condition will be covered up to $5,000,000, just like any other medical condition. You will need to mention the event that caused this instability (hospitalization, change in your medication, etc.) and we will then determine if the condition can be covered and the applicable surcharge.

After completion of the medical questionnaire, you can decide to deliberately exclude a condition and get a lower premium. An exclusion will be applicable to your policy, for the whole system or body organ related to that condition.
(Some conditions apply. Please read the policy wording for more details.)
Medical stability
Your pre-existing medical conditions may be covered if you meet the stability requirements outlined in the policy. All conditions must be Stable and Controlled for a period of:
Stable and Controlled
"Stable and Controlled" - Means any Medical Condition (other than a Minor Ailment) for which all the following statements are true:
- There has not been a new diagnosis, any new Treatment prescribed or recommended, or Change(s) to existing Treatment (including a stoppage in Treatment), and
- There has not been any Change to any existing prescribed Medication (including an increase, decrease, or stoppage to prescribed dosage), or any recommendation or starting of a new prescription Medication (Exceptions the routine adjustment of Coumadin, Warfarin or insulin and the change from a brand name Medication to a generic brand Medication of the same dosage); and
- There has not been any new, more frequent or more severe Symptoms, and
- There has not been any Hospitalization or referral to a specialist, and
- There has not been any medical exam, investigative testing or test results showing deterioration; and
- There has not been any Treatment recommended, planned or not yet completed, nor any outstanding test results.

- 6 months before your departure date, for persons aged 60 and over.
Inquire about our Reduced Stability Period option.
Reduced Stability Period option
It is possible to cover some of your unstable pre-existing medical conditions. The "Reduced Stability Period" option reduces the stability requirement of some medical conditions to 30 days before your departure, rather than 6 months, and these conditions will then be covered up to $5,000,000.
(Some conditions apply. Please read the policy wording for more details.)
When insured through your employee benefit program or your credit card, your coverage is usually limited to a specific duration. We can top-up your existing plan for the extra days, so that your whole trip is covered. You must check that top-ups are permitted by the companies issueing your existing travel policies.
Extension of coverage
To extend the policy period, you must contact us, or your representative, at least 5 days prior to the expiration date written on your policy. You will only have to pay for the additional premium, if applicable.
(Any condition for which you received treatments in the initial portion of your policy will automatically be excluded, beginning on the first day of your extension. The Insurer reserves the right to grant or deny an extension of coverage, on a case-by-case basis. No extension request can be permitted after the expiration date of the initial policy.)

Nature Queries Answered | Orchid may call Ballarat home
What is this amazing flower? It was about 500mm high, in dry forest near Creswick. S.O., Lucas.
This native summer-flowering orchid, the spotted hyacinth-orchid, Dipodium pardalinum flowers at its peak in January and February and is common through local forests, particularly around Creswick, Enfield, Scarsdale and Snake Valley.
Being leafless, hyacinth-orchids get their nourishment from dead organic material through their tuberous roots, a process aided by essential thread-like mycorrhizal fungi.
Surprisingly, in the Ballarat district where the plant is common, it has a restricted range and is listed as rare in Victoria.
Possibly the forests around Ballarat are its headquarters.
Stem colours range from yellow-green to dark red.

The event sought to create cross-sectoral connections and to elaborate new directions for migration and development in the Netherlands. The plenary part consisted of a panel discussion that focused on the current situation of migration and development and potential directions for the future. Bob van Dillen, Cordaid's Senior Migration Advisor, called for migrants and diaspora to join common efforts to safeguard the declining budget for overseas development. He also warned that development aid is increasingly being focused on the 'ring of instability' around Europe, leaving poor countries further away from Europe in the cold. Finally he addressed the issue of migration objectives being made part of development programmes and the challenges this gives to NGOs that need those resources, but do not want to become implicated in 'stopping migrants from coming to Europe'.
This last point raised some discussion with the audience. Within the NGO sector we need more discussion on to what extent we accept migration objectives to be part of ODA projects. This point was further raised by Arjen Berkvens, director of FMS. Food for thought and something that was even further discussed during the drinks after the event.
Building bridges
Ton Dietz, former director of the African Studies Center Leiden, emphasized during the panel that migration from Africa has only just begun and that most migration takes place within Africa. Because of population growth, globalisation of information and transport, but also due to more economic opportunities, the migration of African migrants to Europe is expected to increase. When we talk about migration, it is often a story about us and the others. This dichotomy between them and us must be broken. It is time to build bridges and work together. Milka Yemane, the founder of the Lemat foundation, emphasizes that the diaspora should be much more involved in the migration debate. The diaspora really needs to be integrated into existing institutions. They are the bridge between Europe and in this case Africa. Bikash Chowdhury explained how his organisation is taking this role forward both in Netherlands and Germany, as in Bangladesh. BASUG had just returned from Indonesia, where they took part in a peer learning event of the Global Academy on Migration and Development-GAMD. Such events highlight good practise of cooperation among CSOs, migrants and diaspora organisations.
Creative contributions
Images sometimes speak louder than words and that is why there were also various creative entries. PositiveNegatives, for example, had made an impressive animation 'North Star Fading' inspired by the testimonies of 4 Eritrean refugees who fled their homes to make the dangerous journey to Europe. The multi-media project 'The Migrant, a bird on the run' from Anais Lopez reflects in a creative way on the position of migrants in northern societies. Amoukanama Circus presented in a moving way their personal story on crossing borders from Guinea to Europe through dance and acrobatics. Zuleika Sheikh shared her poem on the position of migrants in the past and reflected on what we can learn from that. Olave Nduwanje, judge, politician and activist said in a video message: "I invite you to start thinking about ways in which we can prevent and repair migration." For example to hold multinationals to account for their actions that force people to flee.
Dialogue tables
During the second part of the event, several topics were discussed at five dialogue tables, each organised by one organisation:
- the framing of migration
- migrants in the lead
- circular migration and legal pathways
- hosting refugees in the region
- youth employment and migration
Some of the highlights of the dialogue tables you can find here.
Anila Noor made an article 'Including refugees and migrants in decision making on their futures' for the dialogue table on migrants in the lead.
Özge Bilgili made an article 'Promote optimal contact against fear, intolerance and misconceptions about migrants and refugees in Europe' for the dialogue table about hosting refugees in the region.
Wrap up
It is also important how we talk about migration. We have to become more realistic. Seada put it very strongly: "Migration is not a problem and not a solution to your problem. Migrants are just people ". As NGOs, we must put this first. Bart Romijn reflects at the end of the event: "As development organisations, we need to strengthen the eagerness to listen to others. Today was a great example of creating spaces to establish mutual understanding and to reflect upon future collaborations. For sure we follow this up, amongst others through our Innovation Platform the Spindle."

Australian Neurosurgeon Killed in Unmarked, Dangerous Ski Area
Australian neurosurgeon Stan Siejka, 51, from Tasmania was killed after he fell into one of New Zealand's tourist black holes, Porters ski area, near Canterbury, on Wednesday September 11.
Stan Siejka, 51, from Tasmania. Dr Siejka's NZ Death clock, which started ticking the moment he planned his holiday in New Zealand, finally stopped at Christchurch Hospital's intensive care unit. Dr Siejka was an intelligent person by any standard, but it remains a mystery why he chose New Zealand as a holiday destination.
Dr Siejka was the only neurologist working at the Launceston General Hospital and will be sadly missed.
Dr was a highly skilled neurologist and his dedication to medicine, his patients, the LGH and northern Tasmania, in general, will be sorely missed.
I understand Dr Siejka was a Tasmanian graduate and undertook his specialist training interstate and in Canada.
His service to the LGH spanned almost 20 years and at one time he provided outreach services to patients in Southern Tasmania as the only neurologist in the state.
Dr Siejka was a dedicated professional – something his patients no doubt would know too well.
His death is a terrible tragedy for his family, friends and colleagues, and my thoughts and best wishes are with them at this very difficult time.
As for the New Zealand authorities, they couldn't of course give a damn. In their eyes, the "unlucky" Siejka was just a "bloody stupid tourist" who should have known better.
Dr Siejka's family should hold New Zealand PM (acting also as Tourism Minster) and NZ govt responsible for his negligent death, and demand death compensation on a par with Israeli tourists who fall victim to NZ tourism.

Cyclists love coffee. The two just seem to fit so snugly together. There's rarely a cross word between a cyclist and their coffee cup…it's the perfect relationship. A steaming cup of hot coffee filling the kitchen with it's delicious aroma is the most wonderful way to start the day and the perfect way to prepare for that cycle ride.
Pact San Antonio freshly ground coffee has made my hubby a very happy man this week. He's actually been keen to indulge in conversation before leaving for work on a morning, waxing lyrical about how fantastic it is and the cafetiere has seen even more action than usual. "Smooth, like a chocolate orange!" was how he described this particular blend. The aromas filling the house from the San Antonio course ground Guatemalan coffee have been quite special…I normally prefer tea myself, but not at all bitter and with tempting notes of orange, chocolate and biscuit, it's been just lovely. In Mr OCG's words:
"There's nothing quite like super fresh coffee that hits all the right places! Perfect!"
Whilst Mr OCG has been sat sipping his coffee and preparing himself for his daily cycling commute, I've been reading the first edition of The Perc, Pact's 'new free coffee magazine for you to pour over' while your coffee's brewing and preparing you for your day.
I've learned a few things, I can tell you. How many of you have heard that keeping your coffee in the fridge or freezer is a good thing? Yes, us too! Well, apparently not – the moisture acts as a kind of coffee loving cyclist that's just climbed the biggest of hills and it sucks all the flavour right out of it. *swiftly ventures to the kitchen and removes all coffee from the freezer drawer and places back in a super duper airtight container.*
Now, if I'm being honest, and as I've said, while my other half would always choose coffee, my preference would be tea, but the smell of this coffee and Mr OCG's enthusiasm has enticed me! Plus there's a rather appealing recipe for a coffee-infused alcoholic tipple included in The Perc. What a great way to kick back after a long day in the saddle – coffee with notes of oranges and chocolate digestives and alcohol! Sooo good! Cachaca for me and whiskey for him. De-li-cious!
If you've not tried Pact coffee before, they offer whole or ground beans depending on your preference and brewing style. If ground is your thing they'll grind it minutes before it's sent in a special valve bag that keeps your coffee fresher for longer. They also make sure they grind it to suit the coffee machine you're using at home – fine for espresso, coarse for cafetiere and everything in between. Pretty neat hey! It's then popped in a letter-box friendly bag and sent directly to your door mat.
Fancy trying a first bag of Pact Coffee for £1 including postage?
If your taste buds are calling out for something new and wonderful, and why wouldn't they be, why not check out what Pact has to offer. They're kindly offering OCG readers their first bag for £1.
Pact have a whole array of coffees to kick start your day, fire up your ride and feed your caffeine fix…fruity coffees, chocolatey coffees, nutty coffees, whatever your favourite kind of caffeine kick is, Pact will have something to suit you and their subscription service is a great way for coffee lovers to try something different. And it's all wrapped up with a great delivery service too.
Visit their home page and you'll see a button to "pick a coffee". This will open a pop-up window where you can enter your name. In the next screen if you enter the voucher code 'ordinarycyclinggirl' you'll receive a message saying your first bag will cost just £1.
You'll then be asked a few questions such as whether you grind your own beans or not, if you have milk or sugar and finally Pact Coffee will recommend the perfect coffee for you. Whatever your choice, you'll receive that first bag for just £1 (including postage). Each bag thereafter is charged at £6.95 for 250g. As Pact don't tie you in to any kind of contract, you can unsubscribe at any point if you decide the service isn't for you.
Sit back, relax and enjoy! (*Wonders* Is it too early to bring out the cachaca?)
Disclosure: This post does not contain any affiliate links but has been written in collaboration with Pact Coffee. We were sent a bag of their San Antonio freshly ground coffee for review purposes.

Yes, it would make a perfect gift idea for that coffee lover in your life!
That picture and first para totally sold me! I had no idea you needed to keep it in the fridge either.
Penny recently posted…Through the Keyhole – Make a house a home #ttkh
Thanks, Penny. No you shouldn't keep it in the fridge, Penny! That's what we had been doing with our coffee as we had heard it keeps it fresh but in fact you shouldn't!! Pact don't recommend it as the moisture from the fridge or freezer zaps the coffee's taste. An airtight container is the best place…or Pact's resealable bag of course.
I am not a coffee lover but the husbeast is. I am going to get him some for Christmas

Yes, I enjoyed that element too. It's a nice touch!
I don't drink coffee but I do have one of these. A friend of mine recommended them and it's cheaper to have than a coffee maker and useful to entertain the guests that do drink coffee.

ARC TC-IWP PhD student Rocco Longo from Charles Sturt University in Wagga Wagga presents his work on the use of blending for the production of low alcohol wines in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture.
Lower alcohol wines are suffering from a poor reputation among consumers, which is in part due to their unsatisfactory flavours, such as reduced overall aroma intensity or undesired herbaceous characters. This study covers a blending practice allowing the production of wines with lower alcohol content while retaining similar sensory profiles of the later harvested, riper fruit wines.

Right before finishing fourth in the Iowa caucuses, Republican candidate Dr. Ben Carson issued a final plea to voters, saying they should beware of people who advocate the Constitution's separation of church and state clause because they suffer from a certain type of "schizophrenia," causing them to have "seizures" every time they lay eyes on a cross.
Appearing before an assembly of his constituents, Carson declared that since God is in the Declaration of Independence, the Pledge of Allegiance (est. 1954), and on U.S. coinage, there is in fact no actual separation between God and politics:
We Americans must be proud of who we are. We cannot give away our values and principles for the sake of political correctness. And, you know, there are those —there are those who go around proclaiming "Separation of church and state! You can't put anything up that has anything to do with God, certainly nothing to do with Jesus Christ," and, you know, "I'll have a seizure if I see a cross," and all this kind of crap, you know…
The fact of the matter is: Do they realize that our founding document, the Declaration of Independence, says we have certain inalienable rights given to us by our Creator, a.k.a. God? That the Pledge of Allegiance says we're one nation "under God"? Most courtrooms, on the wall, it says "In God We Trust." Every coin in our pocket, every bill in our wallet, says "In God We Trust." If it's in our founding documents, it's in our Pledge, in our courts, and it's on our money, but we're not supposed to talk about it, what in the world is that? In medicine, we call it "schizophrenia." And doesn't that explain a lot of what's going on in our nation?
According to Hemant Mehta of Patheos, "Carson's wrong so many times in that little speech. We're not having seizures if we see a cross. We just want the government remaining neutral on matters of religion, and we're rightfully angry when we see Christianity get free government advertising."

This guy is a MORON, Please get off the stage panderer to the religious right, sell your books elsewhere.
The word "God" is nowhere to be seen in any of our founding documents for good reason. All of the "God" references were added to the Pledge, the coinage and paper bills as a result of the post WWII communist scare during the Eisenhower administration, not by the founding fathers.
We do find "Creator" in deference to those who cannot agree on what their vision of "God" might be called – Yahweh, Jehovah, God, Jesus, Allah, the Great Spirit, etc. In addition, in his autobiography, Thomas Jefferson wrote these words to clarify what might be though to be a misunderstanding of the Constitution as written.
"Where the preamble declares that coercion is a departure from the plan of the holy author of our religion, an amendment was proposed, by inserting the word 'Jesus Christ,' so that it should read 'departure from the plan of Jesus Christ, the holy author of our religion' the insertion was rejected by a great majority, in proof that they meant to comprehend, within the mantle of it's protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mahometan, the Hindoo, and infidel of every denomination." (Thomas Jefferson autobiography July 27, 1821 – Library of Congress)
In addition, our own Ronald Reagan wrote these words:
"We establish no religion in this country, we command no worship, we mandate no belief, nor will we ever. Church and state are, and must remain, separate. All are free to believe or not believe, all are free to practice a faith or not, and those who believe are free, and should be free, to speak of and act on their belief." – Ronald Reagan in speech in 1984 to community leaders in Valley Stream, NY
It is this history that resulted in the 6th Amendment and the idea of "no religious test" and the separation of church and state. How soon these people forget that our country was founded on an escape from the Anglican church, not to embrace it.
If there is anything that has been proven by this year's Rethuglican politicians it is that they are all absolutely batshit crazy.
Um, it's the "Declaration of Independence," not the "Deceleration of Independence." Spelling and word choice matter. A lot.
1. That's not the definition of Schizophrenia.
2. My 'Creator', from whom my inalienable rights are endowed, is not the Abrahamic 'God'. It is the Cosmos, in all of IT'S glory to be beheld.
Well we are having a certain amount of deceleration of independence within the party. Maybe he's not far off.
It's odd how these people experience all ofthe symptoms he describes when *they* don't get to play church in the government.
The best response to Carson and Cruz, both are condemning Liberals and lying about "separation of church and state".
I'm so sick of Ben Carson and Ted Cruz lying to Americans. I'm not against Christianity – I AM AGAINST LIARS.
Our founding fathers were CLEAR & ABSOLUTE about "separation of Church and state" and NO, IT WASN'T JUST TO KEEP GOVERNMENT OUT OF CHURCHES like Fox and history revisionists are trying to convince Americans.
This country was not birthed as a Christian nation, no matter how many times Fox says so. Most of our founding fathers WERE NOT CHRISTIANS as most denominations were not considered Christian back then.
At least five were Diests THAT DID NOT BELIEVE IN JESUS OR THE NEW TESTAMENT. Jefferson was one of them. He claimed the Christian church was the most corrupt entity of his day and that they made up Jesus and the New Testament to manipulate people.
It was the Baptists who wrote to Jeffereson in fear that he was going to allow Christianity to be the ONE American religion, which they were against. His reply to them was where the famous quote is written promising separation of church and state:
"I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibit the free exercise thereof, thus building a wall of separation between church and state."
~ FF Thomas Jefferson, letter to the Baptists of Danbury, 1802 ~
"The Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion."
~1797 Treaty of Tripoli signed by Founding Father (FF) John Adams ~
"Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law."
~ FF Thomas Jefferson, letter to Dr. Thomas Cooper, 1814 ~
"The civil government functions with complete success by the total separation of the Church from the State."
~ FF James Madison, 1819 ~
"The Bible is not my book, nor Christianity my profession."
~ FF Abraham Lincoln ~
"Christianity is the most perverted system that ever shone on man"
~ FF Thomas Jefferson ~
"There is not one redeeming feature in our superstition of Christianity. It has made one half the world fools, and the other half hypocrites."
~ FF Thomas Jefferson ~
"Lighthouses are more useful than churches."
~ FF Ben Franklin ~
"The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason"
~ FF Ben Franklin ~
"This would be the best of all possible worlds if there were no religion in it"
~ FF John Adams ~
"Of all the tyrannies that affect mankind, tyranny in religion is the worst."
~ FF Thomas Paine ~
"All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit."
~ FF Thomas Paine ~
"Because religious belief, or non-belief, is such an important part of every person's life, freedom of religion affects every individual. State churches that use government power to support themselves and force their views on persons of other faiths undermine all our civil rights."
"Moreover, state support of the church tends to make the clergy unresponsive to the people and leads to corruption within religion. Erecting the "wall of separation between church and state," therefore, is absolutely essential in a free society."
~ F F Thomas Jefferson, 1808 ~
"Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise."
~ FF James Madison ~
"Every new and successful example of a perfect separation between religion and civil matters is of importance……… religion and government will exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together, being completely independent of each other."
~ FFJames Madison, letter, 1822 ~
"History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes."
~ FF Thomas Jefferson: in letter to Alexander von Humboldt, 1813 ~
"God has appointed two kinds of government in the world, which are distinct in their nature, and ought never to be confounded together; one of which is called civil government, the other church government."
~ FF Isaac Backus, An Appeal to the Public for Religious Separation and liberty, 1773 ~
Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, then that of blindfolded fear."
~ F F Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, 1787 ~
"I am for freedom of religion and against all maneuvers to bring about a legal ascendancy of one sect over another."
~ F F Thomas Jefferson, letter to Elbridge Gerry, January 26, 1799 ~
One of the three accomplishments that Jefferson asked to be listed on his epitaph was that he was the:
"Author of the Statute of Virginia for RELIGIOUS FREEDOM"
When Benjamin Franklin proposed during the Constitutional Convention that the founders begin each day with a prayer to God for guidance, his suggestion was DEFEATED AS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Lincoln's Gettysburg Address originally had the words "under God" in it but Lincoln took it out because he thought it violated what he represented as President of the country, which was absolution of separation of church and state.
The USA founders had schizophrenia?

How To Validate Website to Pinterest
Squirrly Live Assistant is build to show on every post type while you're in Post Editor in backend.
For the Classic Editor, the Live Assistant will load in the right side but you are free to move it below content too.
Since WordPress 5.0, if you're using the Block System, the Live Assistant is loading as a minimized floating box and you can move it from right to the left as you like.
If you are in the Post Editor and Squirrly Live Assistant is not loading as it should please make sure that:
1. You didn't select the Post Type in Squirrly > Live Assistant > Settings. Make sure you don't select any post type like in the list below.
2. Squirrly is selected in the Editor Options if you use the Block System in WP 5.0
If both settings are correct, the Live Assistant will show in Post Editor.
Just follow the instructions in this animated gif.

Once you're having only green elements in WordPress – Squirrly SEO – Dashboard it means you've successfully set everything up.
I have about two different cases here. We will write case by case.
Question 1:
one question, rather than having loads of smaller pages is it better to have one page that covers a number of topics? For example, I have translation services but underneath I could put all the types of translation services I offer? At the moment I separate them out
Answer 1:
it's a really good question.
Here's why I would do:
keep the many smaller pages, with very specific kinds of translation services (they are useful for a large number of things).
And make a bigger page regarding translation services that also has a good keyword chosen.
In the bigger page you can write ideas that you wrote on the smaller pages. Just make sure that the text is original, and not copy and pasted. Even though it kinds says the same things.
Then from all the smaller pages you can link to the bigger page. This way you will create satellite and core content, as outlined in: https://howto.squirrly.co/…/journey-to-better-ranking…/
And if your chosen keyword has competition levels "very easy to rank" or "easy to rank" you will have a very solid chance of getting it on Page 1 if you do it this way.
Follow-up question:
so would you use the multiple keywords and possibly synonyms on the large ones and more specific ones on the smaller pages?
Follow-up answer:
specific on the smaller pages, because you would then have pages with high conversion.
user searches for something specific -> ends up on the shorter, but very specific page -> user clearly see that this page is what he/she was looking for. -> has higher chance to perform CTA
Question 2:
Answer 2:
Question / Issue:
How do I fix that? This thing keeps showing up.
It's very easy, really.
You just need to place more words, write more text, after the first mention of your main keyword.
People do NOT like reading repetitions over and over again. If something gets repeated often in short amounts of text, it gets annoying.
That's why you should fix this and focus on writing better.
Remember that user experience impacts your SEO, as we outline in our Focus Pages section.
Don't know how to do it?

It started far too early on a Monday, of course. Nothing worthwhile ever started on a Monday, but that doesn't keep some people - eternal optimists that they are - from trying.
I was just settling in to my chair with a hot cup of fresh coffee, looking forward to a wonderfully unproductive day of catching up on some paperwork, when the phone on the desk buzzed. I sighed and picked it up.
"Jack!" Hansen didn't even let me say hello. "I need you in my office."
I sighed again. "Right away, sir." I hung up the phone, looked longingly at my pile of nice, boring paperwork, then pushed back my old office chair. I took the time to stretch as I stood up, then grabbed by coffee and sauntered towards Tom's office, sipping carefully as I went.
It was Monday morning, for crying out loud. He could wait a few seconds while I caffeinated myself.
Tom was flipping through his own pile of paperwork when I walked into his office. He grunted to acknowledge me, then motioned for me to close the door and have a seat. I kicked the door shut gently, then hooked my foot around an overstuffed chair that had seen much better days and dragged it into position so I could sit and stretch out my legs.
Tom's a good boss. He continued to shuffle paperwork for a few more seconds to let me get comfortable and grab a few more sips of coffee. He finally found whatever it was he was looking for, and pushed the rest of the papers aside.
"Ever been to Pittsburgh?"
Tom's not big on small talk, so I figured this was something job-related.
"Once, years ago," I said. "Passed through when I was still a kid." I took a careful sip of coffee. "I understand it's changed a lot since then."
Tom snorted. "You could say that. They have parks now, for one thing."
I blinked. That was not the Pittsburgh I remembered. "Really?"
Tom nodded. "Really really." He handed me the paper he had dug up. It was a color printout of an aerial view of - well, I was assuming it was Pittsburgh. There was a whole lot more green than I was expecting to see.
Turns out, I was half right.
"Oakland," said Tom. "One of Pittsburgh's neighborhoods. The blob of green in the center is Schenley Park. Golf course, swimming pool, skating rinks." He raised his eyebrows at me. "Phipps Botanical Gardens."
I whistled. Phipps was a Big Name in our business. I hadn't realized they were located in Pittsburgh.
I looked at Tom. "They having problems?"
"No," Tom said slowly. "Or, rather, they may be. One of their workers was out for a walk last week, and claims that he found troll spoor in the park."
I laughed. "No, seriously? Look at that place! How big is it, really?"
"Just under 500 acres", said Tom, grudgingly.
I shook my head. "No way someplace that small could grow a troll."
"That's just the park area." Tom sounded like he was trying to convince himself. "With the surrounding forests…"
"It's still urban, Tom."
He sighed and looked at me. "And it's still someone from Phipps saying they found troll sign, Jack. They asked if we would send someone to check it out." He shrugged. "Just in case."
"Wait a minute," I said. "If there is a troll, that should be Penny's bailiwick, right?"
I smiled and looked at Tom expectantly, and he just returned my gaze. There was something… oh.
"Penny's on vacation, isn't she?" I couldn't keep the resignation out of my voice.
"Fine!" I closed my eyes. There went the week. "Whatever. I'll go."
I opened my eyes to find tom looking at me bemusedly. "You know I'd send you with her anyway as backup, right? Why the objection to going it alone?"
I shrugged. "Areas of responsibility, Tom. You know that. If it's something that Penny should have been dealing with, and I have to fill out her paperwork, you know I'm going to screw it up." I looked into my coffee glumly. "She'll give me crap for weeks about it."
Tom signed and shook his head. "Look, whatever - just go, OK? Get your kit together, I'll authorize a vehicle, and however it goes, you'll have it wrapped up by Wednesday at the latest."
I stood and looked down at Tom. "With only a weeks worth of paperwork to do at that point…" I waved my hand at him as he opened his mouth. "Fine! No, I'm going. See? This is me opening the door. This is me stepping outside. This is me…"
"Getting assigned to counting tick populations in Maryland if you don't shut up and get moving!" growled Tom.
He was smiling as he said it, though. Slightly. So I gave him one in return and went to put together my troll-hunting kit. Just another glorious day in the National Park Service.
