|King of Judah
Jeconiah from "Promptuarii Iconum Insigniorum"

|Dec. 9, 598 BCE
|c. 615 or 605 BCE
|Nehushta [1]
Jeconiah (Hebrew: יְכָנְיָה [jəxɔnˈjɔː], meaning "God will fortify (his people)"; Greek: Ιεχονιας; Latin: Joachin), also known as Coniah and as Jehoiachin (Hebrew: יְהֹויָכִין [jəhoːjɔːxiːn]; Greek: Ιεχονιας; Latin: Joachin), was a king of Judah who was dethroned by the King of Babylon in the 6th century BCE and was taken into captivity. Most of what is known about Jeconiah is found in the Hebrew Bible. Records of Jeconiah's existence have been found in Iraq, such as the Jehoiachin's Rations Tablets. These tablets were excavated near the Ishtar Gate in Babylon and have been dated to c. 592 BCE. Written in cuneiform, they mention Jeconiah ("Ia-'-ú-kinu") and his five sons as recipients of food rations in Babylon.[2] Comparing Babylonian records with date references found in Hebrew biblical texts, the length of Jeconiah's captivity can accurately be determined.
Jeconiah in Scripture
|Rulers of Judah
Jeconiah's reign
King Jeconiah reigned three months and ten days, from December 9, 598 to March 15/16,[3] 597 BCE.[4] He succeeded, Jehoiakim, as king of Judah [2Ki.24:6]] in December 598, after raiders from surrounding lands invaded Jerusalem [2Ki.24:2]] and killed his father. It is likely that the king of Babylon was behind this effort, as a response to Jehoiakim's revolt, starting sometime after 601 BCE. Three months and ten days after Jeconiah became king, the armies of Nebuchadnezzar II seized Jerusalem. The intention was to take high class Judian captives and assimilate them into Babylonian society. On March 15/16th, 597 BCE,[5] Jeconiah, his entire household and three thousand Jews, were exiled to Babylon.
During exile
After Jeconiah was deposed as king, Jeconiah's uncle, Zedekiah, [2Ki.24:17]] was appointed by Nebuchadnezzar to rule Judah. However, while in captivity, the deported Jews still regarded Jeconiah as their legitimate king. Jeconiah would later be regarded as the first of the exilarchs. In the Book of Ezekiel, the author refers to Jeconiah as king and dates certain events by the number of years he was in exile. The author identifies himself as Ezekiel, a contemporary of Jeconiah, and he never mentions Zedekiah by name.
Release from captivity
According to 2 Kings 25:27, Jeconiah was released from prison "on the 27th day of the twelfth month", during March of 561 BCE. This indicates the first year of captivity to be 598/597 BCE, according to Judah's Tishri-based calendar.
Jeremiah (22:28-30) cursed Jeconiah that none of his descendants would ever sit on the throne of Israel:
- Thus says the LORD: 'Write this man down as childless, A man who shall not prosper in his days; For none of his descendants shall prosper, Sitting on the throne of David, And ruling anymore in Judah.'"
Jeconiah was the son of Jehoiakim with 1 Chronicles 3:17-24.
Dating Jeconiah's reign
The Babylonian Chronicles establish that Nebuchadnezzar captured Jerusalem the first time on 2 Adar (16 March) 597 BC.[9] Before Wiseman's publication of the Babylonian Chronicles in 1956, Thiele had determined from biblical texts that Nebuchadnezzar's initial capture of Jerusalem and its king Jeconiah occurred in the spring of 597 BC, whereas Kenneth Strand points out that other scholars, including Albright, more frequently dated the event to 598 BC.[10] This is one of several instances cited by Strand showing that Thiele's approach of starting with the biblical texts and assuming they were correct until proven otherwise, combined with his extensive knowledge of the recording methods of ancient historians, produced results that were useful in correcting dates derived from secular history.
Assuming that Jeconiah's reign ended on the day that the Babylonians captured Jerusalem the first time, 2 Adar (16 March) 597 BCE, and further assuming that the Jewish calendar in the sixth century BCE had the same number of days in the two preceding months as in the modern Jewish calendar, Jehoiachin's reign of three months and ten days (2 Chronicles 36:9) would have started on 21 Heshvan (9 December) 598 BCE.
Thiele's dates
As quoted above, Thiele said that the 25th anniversary of Jeconiah's captivity was April 25 (10 Nisan), 573 BCE, implying that he began the trip to Babylon on 10 Nisan 597, 24 years earlier. His reasoning in arriving at this exact date was based on Ezekiel 40:1, where Ezekiel, without naming the month, says it was the tenth day of the month, "on that very day," an expression that Thiele knew marked something important. Since this fit with his idea that Jeconiah's (and Ezekiel's) trip to Babylon began a month later than the capturing of the city, thus allowing a new Nisan-based year to begin, Thiele took these words in Ezekiel as referring to the day in which the captivity or exile proper began. He therefore ended Jehoiachin's reign of three months and ten days on this date. The dates he gives for Jeconiah's reign are then: 21 Heshvan (9 December) 598 BC to 10 Nisan (22 April) 597 BC.[11]
Thiele's reasoning in this regard has been criticized by Rodger C. Young, who advocates the 587 date for the fall of Jerusalem.[12][13] Young points out Thiele's inconsistent arithmetic, and adds an alternative explanation of the phrase "on that very day" (be-etsom ha-yom ha-zeh) in Ezekiel 40:1. This phrase is used three times in Leviticus 23:28-30 to refer the Day of Atonement, always observed on the tenth of Tishri, and Ezekiel's writings in several places show familiarity with the Book of Leviticus.[14] A further argument in favor of this interpretation is that in the same verse, Ezekiel says it was Rosh Hashanah (New Year's Day) and also the tenth of the month, indicating the start of a Jubilee year, since only in a Jubilee year did the year begin on the tenth of Tishri, the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 25:9). The Talmud (tractate Arakin 12a,b) and the Seder Olam (chapter 11) also say that Ezekiel saw his vision at the beginning of a Jubilee year, the 17th, consistent with this interpretation of Ezekiel 40:1.
Because this offers an alternative explanation to Thiele's interpretation of Ezekiel 40:1, and because Thiele's chronology for Jeconiah seems incompatible with the records of the Babylonian Chronicle, the infobox below dates the end of Jeconiah's reign to 2 Adar (16 March) 597 BC, the date of the first capture of Jerusalem as given in the Babylonian records. Thiele's dates for Jeconiah, however, and his date of 586 BC for the fall of Jerusalem, continue to hold considerable weight with the scholarly community.[15][16] The 586 date for Jerusalem's fall will also continue to be popular with scholars who hold that, for one reason or another, Zedekiah's years must be measured in an accession sense (year one was not until his first full year of reign).
Dating the fall of Jerusalem using Jechoniah's dating
The reign of Jeconiah is considered important in establishing the chronology of events in the early sixth century BC in the Zedekiah.
Historians, however, have been divided on whether the year was 587 or 586 BC. A 1990 study listed eleven scholars who preferred 587 and eleven who preferred 586.[17] The Babylonian records of the second capture of Jerusalem have not been found, and scholars looking at the chronology of the period must rely on the Biblical texts, as correlated with extant Babylonian records from before and after the event. In this regard, the Biblical texts regarding Jeconiah are especially important, because the time of his reign in Jerusalem was fixed by Donald Wiseman's 1956 publication, and this is consistent with his thirty-seventh year of captivity overlapping the accession year of Amel-Marduk, as mentioned above.
Ezekiel 33:21 relates that a refugee arrived in Babylon and reported the fall of Jerusalem in the twelfth year, tenth month of "our exile." Measuring from the first year of exile, 598/597, this was January of 586 BC, incompatible with Jerusalem falling in the summer of 586 BC, but consistent with its fall in the summer of 587 BC.
Thiele held to a 586 BC date for the capture of Jerusalem and the end of Zedekiah's reign. Recognizing to some extent the importance of Ezekiel's measuring time by the years of captivity of Jeconiah, and in particular the reference to the 25th year of that captivity in Ezekiel 40:1, he wrote,
Although the Babylonian tablets dealing with the final fall and destruction of Jerusalem have not been found, it should be noticed that the testimony of Ezekiel 40:1 is definitive in regard to the year 586. Since Ezekiel had his vision of the temple on the twenty-fifth anniversary of his and Jehoiachin's captivity (28 April 573), and since this was the fourteenth year after Jerusalem's fall, the city must have fallen eleven years after the captivity. Eleven years after 597 is 586.[18]
The logic here is mistaken. In order to justify his 586 date, Thiele had assumed that the years of captivity for Jeconiah must be calendar years starting in Nisan, in contrast to the Tishri-based years that he used everywhere else for the kings of Judah. He also assumed that Jeconiah's captivity or exile was not to be measured from Adar of 597 BC, the month Nebuchadnezzar captured Jerusalem and its king according to the Babylonian Chronicle, but in the next month, Nisan, when Thiele assumed Jeconiah began the trip to Babylon. These assumptions are not unreasonable, and, granting them, the first year of captivity would be the year starting in Nisan of 597 BC. The twenty-fifth year of captivity would start in Nisan of 573 BC, (573/572) twenty-four years later. Years of captivity must be measured in this non-accession sense (the year in which the captivity started was considered year one of the captivity), otherwise the 37th year of captivity, the year in which Jeconiah was released from prison, would start on Nisan 1 of 560 BC (597 – 37), two years after the accession year of Amel-Marduk, according to the dating of his accession year that can be fixed with exactitude by the Babylonian Chronicle. Thiele then noted that Ezekiel 40:1 says that this 25th year of captivity was 14 years after the city fell. Fourteen years before 573/572 is 587/586, and since Thiele is assuming Nisan years for the captivity, this period ended the day before Nisan 1 of 586. But this is three months and nine days before Thiele's date for the fall of the city on 9 Tammuz 586 BC. Even Thiele's assumption that the years of captivity were measured from Nisan does not reconcile Ezekiel's chronology for the captivity of Jeconiah with a 586 date, and the calculation given above that uses the customary Tishri-based years yields the summer of 587, consistent with all other texts in Ezekiel related to Jeconiah's captivity.
Another text in Ezekiel offers a clue to why there has been such a conflict over the date of Jerusalem's fall in the first place. Ezekiel 24:1-2 (NIV) records the following:
In the ninth year, in the tenth month on the tenth day, the word of the Lord came to me: "Son of man, record this date, this very date, because the king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem this very day."
Assuming that dating here is according to the years of exile of Jeconiah, as elsewhere in Ezekiel, the Babylonian siege of Jerusalem began on January 27, 589 BC.2 Kings 25:1 (NIV):
So in the ninth year of Zedekiah's reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his whole army. He encamped outside the city and built siege works all around it.
The ninth year, tenth month, tenth day in Ezekiel is identical to the period in 2 Kings. In Ezekiel, the years are everywhere else measured according to Jeconiah's captivity, which must be taken in a non-accession sense, so that the beginning of the siege was eight actual years after the beginning of the captivity. The comparison with 2 Kings 25:1 would indicate that Zedekiah's years in 2 Kings were also by non-accession reckoning. His eleventh year, the year in which Jerusalem fell, would then be 588/587 BC, in agreement with all texts in Ezekiel and elsewhere that are congruent with that date.
Some who maintain the 586 date therefore maintain that in this one instance, Ezekiel, without explicitly saying so, switched to the regnal years of Zedekiah, although Ezekiel apparently regarded Jeconiah as the rightful ruler and never names Zedekiah in his writing. Another view is that a later copyist, aware of the 2 Kings passage, modified it and inserted it into the text of Ezekiel. This interpretation would be compatible with viewpoints that maintain that God is incapable of imparting specific information to humans, or perhaps is unwilling to do so, even to His prophets.
Archeological findings
During his excavation of Babylon in 1899–1917, Robert Koldewey discovered a royal archive room of King Nebuchadnezzar near the Ishtar Gate. It contained tablets dating to 595–570 BC. The tablets were translated in the 1930s by the German Assyriologist, Ernst Weidner. Four of these tablets list rations of oil and barley given to various individuals—including the deposed King Jehoiachin—by Nebuchadnezzar from the royal storehouses, dated five years after Jehoiachin was taken captive.
One tablet reads:
10 (sila of oil) to the king of Judah, Yaukin; 2 1/2 sila (oil) to the offspring of Judah's king; 4 sila to eight men from Judea.
Another reads,
1 1/2 sila (oil) for three carpenters from Arvad, 1/2 apiece; 11 1/2 sila for eight wood workers from Byblos. . .; 3 1/2 sila for seven Greek craftsman, 1/2 sila apiece; 1/2 sila to the carpenter, Nabuetir; 10 sila to Ia-ku-u-ki-nu, the son of Judah's king[1]; 2 1/2 sila for the five sons of the Judean king.
The Babylonian chronicles are currently housed in the Pergamum Museum in Berlin.[20]

Masport President 20002000 ST S19 Combo, 2000AL 2'n1 (150cc), 2000 ST S18 Combo SP
Great mower fornthe price
Quality build framework, although the briggs&stratton motor, is reliable as expected, although the 550ex has only enough power to cut regular cut lawns. Thick grass, or slightly wet, motor struggles and becomes a tedious task with regular catcher emptying required, to prevent engine stalling..
Purchased in January 2019 for A$540.00.

Very decent mower
This is a fantastic mower. Professional gardener and have been using it for two years now about 3 to 4 days a week. I also use a larger/ heavier Honda mower for certain flat areas and a more refined cut.
I feel with this mower it is a close to perfect balance between power/ cut and weight. I use this mower where I have some hills though will still give a good cut on flat area.
It is quite a versatile mower too as I often mulch up garden waste with it to help before I put it on the compost.
This mower gets thrown in and out of my van multip...Read morele times a day, so the chassis build quality is very good too. In the two years of use I have one broken wheel clip ($2 from mower shop to replace) and one of the plastic clips on the catcher broke (which I fixed with a small piece of wire). I do a full service of it about once a year. Use of full synthetic oil and occasionally use 98 fuel makes it run really clean.

- Verified purchase
Does a good job of cutting lawn even when grass is long and lush.
Easy to start, push, maintain and clean. Does a great job of cutting grass (but it does bog down on longer grass so you have to go slower). I do not have the self propelled model (so I don't have problem with drive belt coming off that other reviewers have complained about).

Absolute lemon of a machine!!!
First i will start by saying I'm a qualified diesel fitter of 15 years, and this mower is a lemon!!
My constant problem is with the Self propulsion system failing and the drive belt falling off all the time,iv used this machine about a dozen times and Iv had 3 drive belts come off and go through the blades, it's all round just a poorly built machine!! Now that iv research this mower I'v seen I'm not the only person having this same trouble with this model.. If there is no long term fix to this problem, this machine should be withdrawn from sale to other customers

Very Disappointed
This mower has no grunt. I had been using a rover that was about 20 years old. I didn't even buy it, I was given it by a neighbour that was moving away. I used it for 6 years, no problems at all but then the pull string broke and I thought it was time for an upgrade. The lawn was getting out of control so I bought the P2000 without too much research. I have since come to the conclusion that the 2 extremely positive reviews on this website are by sales reps.
I admit that I was expecting issues with the first now considering the length of the ...Read morelawn. The mow shut off regularly but I cleaned out the catcher and restarted (it is easy to start, I'll admit that) but a week later, I mow again, and the same issue. The grass isn't too long but the mower is not powerful enough to shoot the trimmings to the back of the catcher. The result, the carch gets 1/3 to 1/2 full, then the mower shuts down and needs emptying and clearing the blades. I only have a small area to mow and it took me 3 times as long as it took with the rover because I was constantly clearing the blades. For $450 I was expecting a lot more. I will be returning and looking into the river models around the $700 mark.

Nearly gave it a 5 but then it broke.
2 months old and I was cutting the grass thinking to myself that I should come on here and write a good review. Next lap of the lawn it broke. Self propulsion suddenly stopped working and I had to take it back to the shop for repair. They told me I must have run over a stick, stone or acorn and that knocked the belt off its mechanism. Odd reason because I have tall fescue turf lawn in small rural backyard with no sticks, stones or acorns.
Before that I had been happy with my purchase. Quiet mower. Easy to start. Catches and mulches well. Cheap to run. Sadly easy to break.

Broken again! Same problem with the belt for the self propulsion coming off which. Bloody annoying. Don't buy one.

Excellent Mower
The President series is the same price as Masport's and Makita's in Bunning's, however, the build quality of the chassis is heads and shoulders above their offerings.
Visually, the President series looks great and the green is a throwback to old-style mowers.
The engine is a plucky B&S mower and is very fuel efficient. I get 2.5 mows of the lawn from a 750 sqm block. It's extraordinarily easy to start - I got my 4 year old to pull the starter cord and it fired immediately. It is also much quieter than other mowers I have had in the past...Read more- the engine note is not your typical roaring mower motor. It is easy to push as the handle is at a comfortably height (I'm 6'4") and the single handle to raise or lower the cutting level is robust and very easy to use. I picked mine up for $450 at a local mower store ready-made. The 4-blade assembly cuts the grass beautifully and is noticeably better than my previous mid-level Victa. So far, I have used both the catcher and mulcher. The mulcher is particularly impressive as it cuts, mulches and pushes the clippings down into the lawn as long as you aren't taking more than around 1/3 of your grass height. I got a real kick out of the fact that it simply didn't leave any grass behind. That said, don't push the mower too fast as you won't give it enough time to mulch properly and you'll leave barely noticeable trails to the side. Already, the lawn looks greener and is softer to walk on after two months. It's also suppressed the bindi's really well.

Just in response to "Mower Man" - I'm not a rep of any sort - since using this mower for over a year, it's quiet operation does leave you feeling as though it's underpowered but it never conks out and... Read moreif you keep the filter clean, replace the spark plug and change the oil and blades when necessary, it'll work for 99% of people mowing their lawn. If you are looking to mow long grass, forget this mower. If you want to have a beautifully cut lawn - at least consider it.

This mower is a fantastic piece of machinery. With a 2 year Warranty on the Engine, a 4 year Warranty on the Chassis and a Lifetime Warranty on the Catcher. Great for small or large areas, with varying height levels.
Well worth the money. I'm so pleased that I chose this product.
Thank You MASPORT.
This mower has many fantastic features.
It is so easy to start and manoeuvre.
The mulching feature is a great addition.
The quick action feature in lowering the handles is so easy.
There is nothing to dislike about this mower.

One of the newest ways to get your business out there is through social media. Here you will find things that you can use in social media to drive traffic to your website so you're able to thrive online and off. Make sure your blog has excellent content that engages, educates, and inspires. A great blog serves as the cornerstone of your social media marketing. When you create content that people cannot wait to read, they will keep coming back. Good content is what is behind any type of media, and social media marketing is no exception,. That is the bottom line. Use lists as much as possible. People love lists because they are easy to read and easy to pass on to their friends. When you produce blogs or articles with lists, those who find the information you provide useful are more likely to pass the link onto others via Facebook, Twitter, or another social networking site. Use a variety of media to stimulate your potential customers when social media marketing. Havingvideo and pictures, and games can increase the appeal of your page a great deal to those who make their way to it. Everyone has a different way they prefer to take in information, and using variety will allow you to reach them all. Provide a way for people to sign up for email alerts when you post new blog posts. Whether you're just putting up a post rehashing a previous topic or writing about a new product, giving followers a way to stay connected works, even if this type of social media marketing is more recognized as older way to utilize Internet marketing. Post links to other blog posts and have bloggers feature your content on their website. If you return the favor and if bloggers see your blog as a good way to get publicity, this will work. Make sure there is no conflict of interest between you and the blogger who is going to feature you. Add relevant tags to your Youtube videos. They will be more likely to come up in searches linked to your products. You could use keyword tools to find out which keywords are popular among your target audience. Remember that your audience will be more likely to share something if they find it relevant to what they were looking for. Get some exposure by organizing a competition on Facebook. You could select a winner randomly among your friends, post trivia questions or have a photo contest related to your products. Make sure you advertise your contest on your website and newsletter: the goal is to get more people to find you on Facebook. If you use Facebook, your followers can easily view your content. When a user comments on any posts, it will show on their page and their followers will see it. In order to generate greater exposure, facilitate reader interaction with you as well as with each other. Make sure you post new pictures regularly on Facebook or Twitter. Your followers and friends probably have a lot of content appear in their feeds, and they will be more likely to notice a picture rather than a text. You could very easily create different photo galleries for your products. Take advantage of the power of social media websites to research new products or services or analyze reactions to old ones. Your fans may enjoy helping you discover which new products or services your customers desire. They give insight as to what they are looking for and what they want, and the best thing is it's free to do. Utilize social networks for promoting special offers. Something like a buy-one-get-one offer, a 50% discount, or even a prize drawing can bring people to your site in droves. Your goal in social media marketing is to give your customers a venue for getting to know your business better and feeling more personally involved with your brand. The number of followers is a measurement of your success in social media marketing. Many large companies with iconic names will get followers just because people like their product. Smaller companies without the iconic names there the number of followers your company has is a direct link to how successful your social media marketing is doing. Try making some lists for your social media blog. When you are trying to attract visits to your blog, you need information that can be taken in quickly by readers. The best way to do this is to compile lists that show things like the 10 best places to visit or 10 songs that make you move. In order to find out what their social media habits are, have your customers take a survey. You really should create a brand page if you find out your customers are spending over an hour each day on a social media site. However, if your audience doesn't utilize social networks, you may need to focus on other areas. Make sure that your social media campaign is as effective as possible. Try to focus on popular websites like Google Plus, Twitter and Facebook. When you target these specific sites, you can concentrate on creating campaigns that will be more likely to generate sales and grow your business. It's all about how your present yourself and what you have to offer. Therefore, knowing how to put together well-crafted sentences is key to drawing attention towards your business. Make sure you double check anything you send out to people, as this might be the only impression they get from your business. When you present yourself well, it can help you in the long run. Take advantage of what makes social media so powerful, and actually interact with your consumers. Messages, comments, and forums can all benefit the business owner and help you learn what to do next. By interacting, you will build up personal relations, while also being given an opportunity to find out what you may have done right or wrong. There are countless advantages of using social media marketing for your business. When you promote your website via your social media site, you will be reaching a large and ever-growing audience. Hopefully, this article has helped you to understand more about using social networking to achieve your business goals. It's time to put these ideas into action on your favorite social media service. 卡式台胞證照片辦理申請過期費用臺胞證台灣居民來往大陸通行證 清潔公司台北新北推薦費用居家清潔打掃冷氣 徵信公司徵信社推薦討債抓奸費用外遇找人離婚征信社尋人欠債抓姦抓猴跑路 台北植牙牙醫診所牙科新北費用假牙牙套牙橋 台北隆乳醫美微整形隆鼻美白針診所玻尿酸音波拉皮墊下巴肉毒桿菌雙眼皮自體脂肪隆乳 新北外燴餐盒台北茶會點心餐飲推薦外烩 近視雷射眼科診所白內障手術散光 室內設計裝潢翻新居家客廳裝修老屋設計圖室內設計師 會計師事務所成立營業商工商業公司登記記帳士 安養院安養中心長照2.0護理之家養老院失智症 漏水屋頂抓漏防水費用壁癌 消滅蟑螂老鼠防治消毒滅蟑公司蜘蛛跳蚤除蟲果蠅白蟻紅火蟻

Two Florida polls show Clinton with a 5-point lead over Trump
Hillary Clinton is hanging on to a five-point lead over Donald Trump in two new Florida polls — the latest in a raft of surveys that indicate the presidential race could be as close as ever in a state with a history of close elections.
In a Marist College poll of 871 voters, Clinton leads Trump, 41 percent to 36 percent. Libertarian Gary Johnson has 7 percent support and Green Party candidate Jill Stein is at 4 percent. The poll, which has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.3 percentage points, was conducted for NBC and the Wall Street Journal.
In a Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research poll of 800 likely voters, Clinton leads Trump, 45 perent to 40 percent, with Johnson at 6 percent. Stein wasn't polled, but 2 percent said they favored an unnamed "other" candidate. That survey, which has an error-margin of 4.1 percentage points, was conducted for the Democrat-aligned Project New America political committee, which is funded by unions and environmentalists.
Though the two polls have the same five-point margin in Clinton's favor, they differ from a Quinnipiac University poll released earlier in the week. That survey showed Trump nursing a three-point lead in Florida, an 11-point reversal in his favor from Quinnipiac's poll a month before.
The seesawing numbers come as no shock to political insiders who are accustomed to major statewide races that have been decided by about a percentage point in the past three election cycles. Still, factoring in the major polls released since early June, Clinton could have an aggregated average lead of about 3 points.
"With the data we have access to, a five-point Clinton lead seems about right because of her strength with women, independents and minorities," said Ryan Tyson, vice president of political operations for Associated Industries of Florida. Tyson said the Marist and Quinlan surveys mirror confidential polls his Republican-leaning business group has conducted.
"Clinton has a problem energizing younger voters — millennials — who she needs," Tyson said. "Trump has gotten better, specifically with Hispanics, but he's not where he needs to be."
The Project New America survey, which oversampled minorities, showed Clinton ahead of Trump among Hispanics, 53 percent to 31 percent. That might not be cause for too much celebration among Democrats because Trump is actually outperforming Republican Mitt Romney's numbers with Florida Latinos in 2012, when exit polls showed he lost this growing segment of the electorate, 39 percent to 60 percent, to President Obama.
But Clinton's 18-point lead over Trump among female voters in the Project New America poll gives her a decided overall advantage when compared to the Republican's 11-point lead among men.
"This data demonstrates that Donald Trump has a lot of ground to make up with the voters he needs to win," said Jill Hanauer, CEO of Project New America.
Project New America didn't report whether pollster Greenberg Quinlan surveyed Florida's U.S. Senate race. But Marist did and it found Republican Sen. Marco Rubio ahead of Democratic Congressman Patrick Murphy by just 47 percent to 44 percent — a far cry from Quinnipiac's poll that had Rubio leading by 13 points.
Marist also surveyed three other swing states and found Clinton with six-point leads in Colorado and North Carolina and a seven-point advantage over Trump in Virginia. Because of Florida's size and 29 Electoral College votes, a Clinton victory in the Sunshine State and at least one other swing state would almost make it impossible for Trump to win the presidency.
"With 66 electoral votes at stake in these four states, Donald Trump is playing catch-up against Hillary Clinton," Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion, said in a statement.
Marist found both candidates were highly unpopular in the swing states. Trump was disliked more than Clinton, but not by much. Still, that could be Clinton's key to narrowly winning the presidency.
"The driving force behind voters' choices is the negative impressions they have of both Trump and Clinton," Miringoff said. "Clinton's single-digit lead in each of these states is due to her slight advantage in how voters perceive the two candidates."

As a young man, I never really seriously thought that I'd one day have two kids. In fact, I never really saw myself getting married. However, here I am with a wife and two kids and me playing family man as a work-at-home dad. Who would have guessed? Certainly not me.
But anyway, if the shoe fits and all that. So here I am, balancing work as a self-employed individual with taking care of two kids during the day. I guess I'm lucky that I majored in management and have had the long-time ability to plan, organize, multi-task, and stay efficient. They are certainly skills that I regularly need in my multiple roles.
Here are a few of the things that I use to my advantage when balancing my work and at-home dad role, caring for two children, one of whom is a newborn and the other who has just started kindergarten.
Age Gap Advantages
I know that many people like to have their kids just a year or so apart. However, I grew up with a half-brother who was about five years younger than me, and it was a great experience. Plus, we got kind of busy with life and didn't make the decision to have a second child right away.
However, I know from my own experience of being multiple years older than my brother made things easier not only for me, but for my father and his wife as well. I was better able to understand what was going on. There was less fighting between us siblings and as I got older, I was able to help out more with the raising and watching of my younger brother.
I'm hoping that this is the case with our kids and that our older son is able to take an active interest in helping with our second child. I think it would provide him with valuable parenting experience that he might one day be able to apply to his own future; plus, it's a heck of a lot of fun and he get's to play "big brother" and teach the little one all sorts of cool stuff!
Getting Everyone into a Routine Quickly
I found that getting our first child into a routine quickly was huge in my being able to pair work and parenting. And I know that it will be equally important — actually probably more so — with our second child.
Having to balance work with getting our five-year-old to school and back, help him with his school work, and care for the baby at the same time means that I'll need to have my stuff together. And getting all of us into a regular routine with our meals, preparations, naptimes, and similar activities as quickly as possible will make things easier and more manageable.
Another major aspect of balancing our two kids is being able to communicate with our older child. Since I won't be able to explain things to the baby, I'm going to have to rely upon the ability of our five-year-old to understand and help out. Even if his helping out is only playing quietly on his own and entertaining himself while baby is sleeping so that I can get a little work done, I'm going to have to ensure that I balance communicating my needs and baby's needs to our son with keeping him entertained and ensuring that he understands what is happening and why.
Being Flexible with my Work and Work Times
I knew going into having our second child that I'd have to be more than ready to roll with punches when it came to my work schedule. I had to do it with our first child, working when he was sleeping or playing, and now I have to be even more flexible balancing getting him ready and over to school and back with baby number two, making lunches, changing diapers, furthering our older son's education once home, doing household duties, and squeezing work into the few moments between all this.
Therefore, I take advantage of just about any available down time I have to jump on some work if possible. I keep a list of work-related items that I can get to immediately when the opportunity arises, and often leave work items open on my computer or desk so that I can start them with little or no delay. I also keep a list of family and housekeeping matters that need to be dealt with so that they are next to me on my desk whenever I'm working. With so many things going on, it's hard to remember everything, so having these lists nearby allows me to better balance all aspects of our life…work, family and home.

Leadership can be defined as the ability to provide guidance or direction to those in need. Some have the innate characteristics of a leader, while others may need to acquire these leadership traits. If you want to improve your own leadership skills, read this article for some helpful tips.
Talk about the vision of your team. Try using the company's mission to guide you and you should also put the company's values into what you're doing every day. It's crucial to communicate the whole picture as you help others understand how important they are to the end goal. This helps build rapport with your team and gives them a solid direction.
Your employees are not mind readers. Communicate exactly how you want a task to be completed, when you want it completed, and by what method you want it done. Have an open door policy. That way, if someone misunderstands, they feel comfortable asking you for clarification.
Honesty is an essential quality for a leader. An effective leader needs to be trustworthy. As your leadership skills improve, you should always try to set an example by being trustworthy and honest. Show people that you are there to help and support them.
Be strong and decisive as a leader. You're going to be responsible for making many of them. Listen to what different members of your team suggest when you encounter a problem and choose the solution that will benefit everyone.
Always let your team know you appreciate them. It doesn't take long to write something that says thank you or good job, and that may mean quite a bit to those that work hard all day long. This tiny gesture goes a long way in improving morale, and it doesn't cost you a dime.
Now are you confident that you can better your leadership skills? You also know what you have to do to enhance your natural skills. Great leaders are always in demand, so start becoming one.

Weekend Reads for Investors: Buffett's Brain, Bubbles, and Uber
As we look to close out the first half of 2014, global equity markets are near all-time highs and continue to meet little resistance. And what's not to like? Investor sentiment is overwhelmingly bullish, economic news, on the margin, has been positive, and central banks continue to prime the liquidity pump. Companies, meanwhile, are awash in cash and eager to reward shareholders with stock buybacks.
The geopolitical backdrop may be less than encouraging, with turmoil and escalating conflicts around the world, but markets have been largely indifferent. The complacency among investors is hard to miss and perhaps best reflected in the United States by the CBOE SPX Volatility Index (VIX), which recently dropped to a 7-year low. The VIX historically moves in the opposite direction of equities, and while investors may be inclined to see the current lack of volatility as an all-clear signal, contrarians should instead consider the depressed levels of Wall Street's so-called "fear gauge" as a warning sign. BlackRock's Russ Koesterich puts it best, noting, "Low volatility has a way of persisting, until it doesn't."

His included mini-seminars with proper techniques and always ended with the couples practicing whatever had been discussed. Since I was partner-less, he worked privately with me on the weekends in non-sexual situations for about six months.
After it had happened a second time with another girl, I realized I must have been subconsciously projecting my fears that I would be rejected. And the irony of it, it was happening anyway.
Chris was gone by morning, his bedding neatly folded on the ottoman. Where he'd gone, I had no clue.
" His bottom leg slid between both of mine, pinning his right hand against my ass. A few more strokes later, I was coming again but unable to make a sound.
"One last thing. " Chris raised his eyebrows.
It was just the tip of his cock-primarily the reverse Prince Albert ring-that brushed my outer pussy lips, but it was electrifying.

Get the facts about intelligent building features with the help of Advanced Control.
You can improve your building light control systems with intelligent building features.
Today's cutting-edge technology is making a huge impact on how building infrastructure works and provides positive benefits for you.
With lighting systems being one of the major costs for commercial properties, it is a smart business decision to learn how you can cut costs and improve efficiency.
Don't be left in the dark about the positive advantages of intelligent building features.
Building Light Control Systems
Advanced Control Corporation is a leader in bms lighting control systems. Our team of experts can upgrade your building light control systems by integrating new and advanced intelligent building features that can improve lighting control and reduce utility usage.
These changes can reduce lighting costs by up to 30 percent while improving the efficacy of lighting throughout your building interior and outside property.
Many commercial structures are using a higher level of lighting than is necessary, and are lighting areas that are unoccupied, creating an abundance of waste and high costs.
With a bms lighting control system you can properly manage specific zones for lighting based on scheduling, which includes times of the day, weekends and holidays.
When your building is unoccupied, your system can shut down lighting in areas that are not being used.
Automated intelligent building features, such as occupancy sensors, are also useful for determining when areas are occupied or not and will adjust lighting accordingly. There is no reason to have lights on when they are not needed.
The level of lighting in your commercial building is another area of concern. Some buildings are over-lit, and this causes unnecessary energy usage and higher lighting costs.
Over-lit lighting, or light pollution, can have a negative effect on employees and reduce their productivity. Over-illumination can cause headaches, stress, anxiety, fatigue, hypertension, and suppress melatonin production.
You can put a stop to light pollution by installing one of our bms lighting control systems. Your workplace will be healthier, more efficient, and lighting costs can be reduced to the minimum.
BMS Lighting Control Systems
Advanced Control Corporation can create a BMS lighting control system that will work to your advantage. Our team can assess your property to determine the most effective way to improve your property's lighting both indoors and out.
Building light control systems can reduce waste, produce sufficient lighting without over-illumination, improve productivity, and reduce energy costs.
Our team can provide intelligent solutions for ineffective lighting systems with an improved, scalable BMS lighting control system.
Your facility managers can control both the use of electric lighting and daylight supplementation from their desktop, laptop or mobile device whether they are on-site or off. Lighting can be lowered during peak sunlight periods, and increased during low sunlight periods, keeping the lighting scale and usage to the ideal minimum.
Our building light control systems can automatically engage lighting when areas become occupied or shut down when areas become unoccupied.
For safety concerns, exits, ramps, walkways, stairways, parking garages and lots can also be easily controlled with BMS lighting control systems. Integrating your security system with your building light control systems may also help to deter crime by flooding any breached area with illumination.
We can help you become more energy efficient by creating lighting control that is unique to your business needs and building requirements. We create new systems from the ground up, or retrofit intelligent building features into your existing system.
Retrofitting can be done in stages to work with your budget, and we also provide maintenance services if you need them.
If you are interested in upgrading your building's lighting system or creating a new one, contact Advanced Control Corporation today at 954-491-6660.
