text: The State of the Environment: Water Resources report says that climate change and demand from a growing population in England are the biggest pressures on the availability of water.Without action to increase supply, reduce demand and cut down on wastage, the report predicts that many areas in England could see significant supply deficits by 2050 particularly in the south east. However, Anglian Water, which manages supplies in Cambridgeshire, has said that it is in a better position now than it was 30 years ago, despite serving 34 per cent more homes. Commenting on the Environment Agencys report about water resources, Emma Staples, from Anglian Water, said: We get much less rain in this region compared to the rest of the UK, which is why we have been determined to cut leakage for a long time. Were already the best in the industry; our leakage is half that of the rest of the UK and were way ahead of our Ofwat targets but were not sitting still. We plan to invest millions of pounds more to reduce leakage even further and were exploring innovative technologies, like drones and advanced sound detectors, to do that. Our ambitious draft water resources management plan sets out how we make the best use of the water we already have, and the changes we need to make to help guard against the impacts of severe droughts and climate change in the future. The report also highlights unsustainable levels of water abstraction, leakage from water companies currently estimated at three billion litres per day and demand from industry and the public as three of the issues to tackle in order to protect the water environment. Emma Howard Boyd, chairman of the Environment Agency said: We need to change our attitudes to water use. It is the most fundamental thing needed to ensure a healthy environment but we are taking too much of it and have to work together to manage this precious resource. Industry must innovate and change behaviours in order to reduce demand and cut down on wastage and we all have a duty to use water more wisely at home. With demand on the rise, water companies must invest more in infrastructure to address leakage instead of relying on abstraction and the natural environment to make up this shortfall.

Life Hack: Save
True Cost of Owning a Car
If you are hanging out to get a car, you might want to watch the video above and check out the Moneysmart and RACQ websites.
Tax for Teens
It's tax time and if you have a part-time job you may need to lodge a tax return. To check if you do, complete this quick and easy online form at the Australian Tax Office website. Instructions on how to lodge your first tax return can be found here. The MoneySmart website also has information on completing your tax return. Tax returns must be lodged by 31st October to avoid a fine.
Wally is a free budget app that allows you to track your spending and provides graphs so that you can track what you're spending your money on. There are no ads, all information is private and you can save photos of receipts. Whether you have a part time job or just get pocket money, budgeting is a useful life skill. It is a good habit to develop before you get a 'real' job and start earning big bucks.
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, philanthropy is an act or gift done or made for humanitarian purposes. Just because you are a teenager who does not have thousands of dollars to give away does not mean you can't be a philanthropist. West Australian based organisation Impact100 gives people the opportunity to put their money together with other people and choose which charities to give it to. They have a YoungImpact100 program for 12-18 year olds where the teens collect or save $100 to donate then attend a fun grant event where they pool their money with other teens and together choose a charity to donate the money to.
Generosity magazine has an article on other organisations in Australia with a similar purpose. You can find it here.
Your Parents are not an ATM
A common misconception that you may have is that your parents are made of money. Your parents may make sacrifices such as working two jobs or going without so you can have what you need. You may not think that you're asking for much (perhaps just $30 for the movies and a meal) but remember they have also had to fork out for groceries, electricity, gas and phone bills, fuelled up the car, paid the rent etc. Next time you ask your parents for money, offer to do extra chores to earn it. Learning to save up from your allowance is a valuable skill that will help you in adult life.
Dollarsmart is a money guide for teens with information about setting goals and budgeting with examples. They talk about the 3 Rs of money:
1. Be realistic - unless you inherit a fortune, you are likely to have a limited amount of money
2. Be responsible - don't waste your money
3. Show restraint - you can't buy everything you want (or you'll end up in a lot of debt).
You can find the document at www.beachsidefinancial.com.au.
Budgeting 101
If your bank balance is constantly at $0 and you're constantly asking your parents for money and scabbing off your friends, perhaps it's time to do a budget. It's very helpful to write down what you spend you money on each week and see if there are any areas you could cut out or reduce. There are several good apps that are free. Here are some recommendations:
1. Wally - helps you understand where your money goes, you can set financial goals.
2. Daily Budget - allows you to set a daily budget and create wishes for large purchases.
3. Quick Money Recorder - simple to use, helps keep track of your what you spend your money on.
4. Toshl Finance - this award winning app helps you manage your money.

Do you think there are too many of Android users? Apparently not! Ashwin Ramachandra, VP and Head, Product Engineering Services at Sasken Technologies Limited told Gizbot about the latest technologies that enhance Android.
He said that we will see an increase in Android's penetration in other verticals – most importantly in the automotive space.
In the automobile section, less than 5-10 percentage of cars have Android in their system, this number is expected to shoot up to 40 – 50 percent by 2020. He also said,"If you look at what happened in the device space almost a decade ago, we had multiple operating systems such as Symbian, Linux-based, as well as individual homegrown operating systems. Android came and changed all of that into something like a duopoly as far as smartphones are concerned with about 85 percent market share." He also believes that Android's market share will continue to be the highest since people will start using Android equally more!
Android is an open source operating system. Hence we can see the burst in the Android developer community. No wonder Android has grown (continue to grow) so massively ever since it was born.
Sasken has benefitted from Android. The company has connections with semiconductor companies. Silicon chips will have Android as the default operating system. Android, is present in most of the smartphones out there in the market. Android has also started migrating to TVs. That's why Android will now be seen in cars too!
He said, "In the automotive space, we are going to see a lot of Android-based infotainment systems and Android in the cockpit of the car will come into play. Coming to our partnerships, we have very deep relationships and extensive experience of working in the Android ecosystem with semiconductor vendors, tier-1s, and OEMs. Today, we are witnessing that R&D spends have shifted to Android-based infotainment and Android-based telematics systems, which have become critical, and it will continue to grow."

Industry and community recognition provides a great opportunity to attract new members.
The laborious process of applying for industry awards can prove stressful and painstakingly long for credit union marketers. They may not consider the countless hours of drafting and editing award nominations the most enjoyable work, but the euphoria that permeates throughout the organization after winning makes it worthwhile. Awards play a key role in feeding the public relations and marketing engine, which supports the credit union's overall business goals. When utilized correctly, awards serve as tools to attract new members, inform existing members of organizational leadership and innovation and strengthen the credit union's brand.
Bring on the New Members
Consumers often mistakenly assume credit unions are unable to handle all of their financial needs. As we know, this is not true. Awards geared toward success in innovation, leadership strategy or even size can provide great opportunities to dispel this myth. Receiving an award or honor creates a natural "moment in time" to launch marketing activities aimed at attaining new members. Marketers could write a blog to share across popular social media channels like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, or host a small pop-up event in the community. Winning an industry award (or even being recognized as a finalist) gives credit unions new opportunities to demonstrate why they are the best option for potential members who are looking for a financial services partner.
Reminding Existing Members of Value
Awards can also serve as a powerful way to remind existing members of each of the credit union's product offerings and inform them of the great things happening within the organization. Execution of this marketing strategy can take form as a targeted email campaign, social media promotion or even more traditional branding via banners and signage within the branch. Sharing this news with existing members is not only exciting, but it can present a chance to cross-sell products and services, benefiting both the member and credit union.
This is also a good time to build goodwill by thanking your members—e.g., for voting for your credit union in contests sponsored by the community or publications or simply for supporting your organization during a project or campaign that earned the award.
Interacting with the Media
Awards also foster moments to interact with media outlets that cover the local community and/or the credit union industry. Issuing a press release to announce the win can help inform the media about the credit union's current news and accomplishments. Working with the media also aids in building the credit union's brand—among members, potential members, industry influencers, staff and potential employees. Just remember that if an award is tied to a particular publication, promotional efforts should be directed toward that publication only.
Awards can be very beneficial for a credit union in boosting staff morale and bringing greater awareness and growth to the organization in an impactful way. When utilized properly, award campaigns can serve as vital marketing, informational and branding tools aimed that maximize a credit union's overall marketing reach.

Summer is a great time to catch up on that massive list of books and articles you have been meaning to read but never quite got around to. Fortunately, Net Politics is here to remind you which books about digital and cyber issues you should read first. Reading a non-fiction book about tech issues along with your protective tinfoil hat will make you the envy of everyone on the beach.
Cyber War Will Not Take Place, by Thomas Rid
There are many in the academic community that think talk of cyberwar is overhyped. Rid may be one of the most prominent of these thinkers and provides one of the most cogent arguments as to what cyberwar actually is, why it will not happen, and the limitations of cyber tools in warfare. Essential reading for those looking to debunk the arguments of your pundit friend, who annoyingly believes that cyberwar is a thing.
Countdown to Zero Day, by Kim Zetter
Stuxnet is arguably the most written about malware in all of history, and in the eyes of many, was an event where the United States crossed the Rubicon. Zetter, who covers all things cybersecurity at WIRED, provides one of the best accounts of Stuxnet's discovery, its capabilities, and the implications for U.S. security and foreign policy.
Consent of the Networked, by Rebecca MacKinnon
The early days of the internet were filled with utopian ideals, namely that the state had no sovereignty over cyberspace. Those days are long behind us as governments seek to shape online discourse and exert their jurisdiction over the digital world. Despite their best efforts, MacKinnon argues that governments and governance structures are ill equipped to deal with the challenges that the online world creates, such as public discussions occurring on private platforms or facilitating surveillance.
Fierce domain: Conflict in Cyberspace 1986-2012, by Jason Healey
The increased news coverage of cyber incidents, particularly on behalf of cyber collectives such as Anonymous or state-sponsored actors, may give a casual observer that cyberattacks are a relatively recent phenomenon. Healey unpacks the history of cyber-based conflict, and provides a detailed account of the major cyber incidents over the last thirty years and the policy changes that occurred as a result. Essential reading for those looking to see the forest from the trees.
Dragnet Nation: A Quest for Privacy, Security, and Freedom in a World of Relentless Surveillance, by Julia Angwin
Ever wanted to know what it's like to maintain your privacy online and avoid being tracked? Angwin does her best to disconnect. She buys a burner phone, tries to encrypt everything, and quits Google. She quickly realises the massive challenges associated with what she calls the surveillance dragnet created by the state through data collection and surveillance laws and private companies.
Free Speech: Ten Principles for a Connected World, by Timothy Garton Ash
The internet is one of the best free speech platforms ever created, and the most important since the creation of the printing press. It has also attracted significant scrutiny as a platform that can spread hateful and illiberal ideas, drawing the ire of governments looking to enforce their interpretation of the limits of free speech. Garton Ash argues in classic liberal fashion that bad speech should be countered with more speech, and proposes ten principles to foster civilized disagreement to avoid harsher society- or government-enforced limits on speech.
Hacked World Order: How Nations Fight, Trade, Maneuver, and Manipulate in the Digital Age, by yours truly
I wrote it, it's great and you should buy it. Need I say more?
And for those looking to be extra wonkish this summer, there are two reference manuals that are always great to keep close. The first is the Tallinn Manual on the International Law Applicable to Cyber Warfare, the result of a three year effort to examine how existing legal norms apply to state activity in cyberspace. The second is an Introduction to Internet Governance, which provides a primer on the politics of internet governance issue you could possibly imagine, from technical protocols that keep the internet humming to intellectual property protection.
Happy reading!

#7. Unlock Your Mac
If your Mac is updated with macOS Sierra or later, you can unlock your laptop with your Apple Watch. Many users find it tedious to enter a password every time they start their Mac. For such users, Apple Watch works as a key to unlock their Mac. In case your Apple Watch doesn't unlock your Mac, you can try some solutions to fix the issue.
#8. Use Apple Watch as a Remote
Whether you are using iTunes on your Mac or Apple TV, you can use your Apple Watch as a remote to control the media playing. On your watch, Apple has a Remote app, and you need to add your devices, i.e., Mac and Apple TV to your Apple Watch. With the Remote app, you can easily use your watch as a remote control for iTunes and Apple TV.
#9. Take a Photo on iPhone with Apple Watch
This is one of the best-hidden features on Apple Watch. It is surprising for any user as to how one can shoot photos with Apple Watch. The feature comes handy when you cannot hold your plus-sized iPhone in your palm, especially when you wish to capture selfies.
#10. Take a Screenshot
If you can take a screenshot on your iPhone so can you take on your Apple Watch. Since the watch is a miniaturized version of your iPhone, you can perform multiple tasks of iPhone on your Apple Watch. In case you wish to take a screenshot of your fitness goals or anything else, you may follow this guide.
#11. Change the Orientation
Wanna try your Apple Watch on the right hand? Normally, people wear watches on the left hand; but for a change, you can change Apple Watch orientation. The process is pretty simple.
#12. Ping Your iPhone
Are you in the habit of misplacing your iPhone? If yes, you can easily find your misplaced iPhone using your Apple Watch. Your smartwatch pings your phone and thus, you can quickly locate your device.
#13. Weather Check
Before you go out, check local weather on your Apple Watch. Instead of using third-party weather apps, you can ask Siri to give information about the weather in your city or the place you plan to visit. In case you don't want to bother Siri for the weather forecast, you can check it manually.
Step #1. Press Digital Crown on your Apple Watch.
Step #2. From the cluster/grid of watch apps, tap on Weather app (see that cloud).
You can check the weather in your city on your watch.
#14. Use Calculator on Apple Watch
I know that the Apple Watch screen is too small to use a calculator on it. But when your iPhone is not around, you can use a calculator app on your Apple Watch to make quick calculations. You can download one of the best Apple Watch calculator apps from this list and get on with your maths even on the move.
#15. Answer/Silence Calls
Want to silence that call while you are in a meeting? You can do this with a swing of your Apple Watch, not literally. Just place your hand over the watch screen; make sure your palm touches your Apple Watch screen. To answer a call, tap that green button.
#16. Workout Do Not Disturb
Apple introduced Workout Do Not Disturb in its watchOS 4 release. By using this feature, you can stop those disturbing notifications while you are working out in a gym or outdoors. The best thing about this feature is you can automatically enable DND during workouts on your Apple Watch.
#17. Theatre Mode
Theater Mode allows you to watch movies and dramas without grabbing your attention while you are in a theatre. When you enable Theater Mode on your Apple Watch, running watchOS 3.2 and later, the feature silences your watch and disables 'Raise to Wake.'
#18. Alarm Clock
Many users tend to sleep with Apple Watch on their wrists. For them, creating an alarm on Apple Watch is a handy trick. Users don't need their iPhones near them to set alarms on the watch. They can use the built-in alarm app on Apple Watch, and the smartwatch will wake you up in the morning with its tune and vibration.
#19. Control Your HomeKit Devices
Controlling your smart home from your wrist is the most comfortable pleasure when you are dead tired. Use the Home app on your Apple Watch and ask Siri to turn on/off lights, control a switch, set the thermostat, or lock the door. Apart from the built-in Home app, your Apple Watch also supports many third-party home automation apps.
#20. Make Payments
Apple is expanding its Apple Pay reach on the global map. This technology enables users to make payments quickly at retail outlets. Just add your credit card to Apple Watch and start making payments. Setting up Apple Pay and using this facility is as easy as ABC.
#21. Use WhatsApp
IM+ Watch by Shape is the best way to use WhatsApp on Apple Watch Series 4 and 3. By using this app, watch users can communicate with their contacts more independently. A notable feature is that users no longer rely on the internet connectivity of a paired iPhone.
That's all friends!
Signing off…
Apple launched its smartwatch in 2015 and since then, the company has made a lot of improvements to make users' life more comfortable. In the future, Apple Watch will see many more positive changes.

If you have read my recap of travel year 2018, you read that I spent a lot of time in the Balkan. I have already written an article about the Macedonian capital Skopje, but also neighboring country Albania was on my list. Capital city Tirana was my destination and while I was not expecting much I can tell you that I actually liked this city very much. Just like Skopje it is not your average city trip destination, but I can say that I was pleasantly surprised by Tirana! The city does not have much sights, but it is the story behind Tirana what interested me the most. In this article I am sharing my five reasons with you why you should consider visiting Tirana this year.
Read more: Things to do in Skopje, probably the most kitsch city of the Balkan.
1. It is the only city in Europe with a pyramid
Yes, you are reading this correctly. In the city center of Tirana you can find a pyramid. Not one made of sand, but one built up from concrete and glass. This building in the shape of a pyramid was constructed in 1988 in honor of former national leader Enver Hoxha. Hoxha died in 1985 and the pyramid was a commemorative monument for the former Albanian dictator. I will share more details about this guy later, but let's say that he was ruling the country with an iron fist. After the fall of the Albanian communist regime in 1990, the pyramid changed continuously in function. It was used as an exhibition space, NATO base and a night club. You can say that no one really knew what to do with it. The building is quite ugly and in decay. It was supposed to be demolished, but the local government did not go through with it because of local protests. And rightly so, the pyramid is an undeniable feature of Tirana. When you say Tirana, you say pyramid. It is a popular hang-out spot and local youngsters love to challenge each other to run up to the top. If you want to see the pyramid as it is now, act quick. In 2018, a Dutch organization has presented its plan to transform the pyramid into a modern education center. So it might change soon.
2. Tirana is extremely colorful!
What struck me in Tirana is how colorful the city is. Not a single building in this city is dull and grey, everything is painted in bright colors. This is the result of the policy of former mayor Edi Rama who is also a painter. In the nineties Tirana was a grey city, one of the poorest cities in Europe. The city council had no money to invest in infrastructure. Rama decided to use what Albania did have, and that was paint. By using color he wanted to leave the grey communist past behind and rejuvenate the city. And it worked, the city started moving forward. The current mayor has continued this colorful policy. The most colorful buildings are located at the Bajram Curri Boulevard and around the river Lana. My time in Tirana was way too short to see all the colorful buildings, but still I got a good impression. Next time I would like to see more!
3. Tirana has also a hipster side: Blloku
Tirana is not only colorful, it also has a hipster side. The hipster part of town is Blloku. This used to be a closed-off neighborhood where the communist loyalists lived. Today it is the place where the youth of Tirana hang out. I only visited this place during the day. The buildings here are just as colorful as the rest of town. My absolute favorites were the building with the jockey on it and the building with a winding rainbow on the front. In the evening this area comes even more alive. Bars open their doors and the youth of Tirana dance the night away.
4. Bunker country Albania: a fascinating history
Do you like countries with a intriguing history? Then Albania will suit you very well. The recent history of Albania is one with some heavy dark pages. From 1944 to 1992 Enver Hoxha ruled over the country. Hoxha was a sympathizer of the Russian communist leader Joseph Stalin. After the death of Stalin in 1953 Hoxha saw it as his duty to continue with the ideals of Stalinism in Albania. He isolated the country from the outside world and he introduced the world's first atheist state. Hoxha was a paranoid man and he saw danger everywhere. He gave orders to build antinuclear bunkers all over the country to protect the Albanian citizens against foreign invasions. In total there were 800.000 bunkers built, 1 for every 4 citizens.
Do you really want to understand what the terror regime of Hoxha looked like? Then visit one of the bunkers. You have two of them in Tirana: Bunk'Art 1 is an actual Cold War bunker outside the city and Bunk'Art 2 is a museum copy and is located in the city center (near Rruga Sermedin Said Toptani). I visited the last one, because I did not have much time (remember, I was in Albania for work). I thought the museum was really impressive. As a visitor you wander through an underground network of corridors with small rooms left and right. In these rooms you can read more about the daily practices of the Albanian intelligence service and Sigurimi (secret police) during the Hoxha regime. It is bizarre to think that this only happened not too long ago.
Entrance ticket for Bunk'Art 2 is 500 Leke. For an audiotour you pay 200 Leke (2018).
5. Art is everywhere: spot the colorful electricity boxes
You get the hint: Tirana is a colorful and artistic city. But the art is not only used on walls. Also everyday street objects like electricity boxes are used as canvas. A couple of years ago I already saw this in my own country. In The Hague, street art on electricity boxes is used to brighten up a neighborhood. Also in Tirana, these dull street objects are used for art. During my walk through the city center of Tirana I decided to pay attention to this and I saw all sorts of cartoons and film figures. From Batman to Walter White and Pokémon, once you pay attention you see so much!
More recommendations for Tirana
- Join a Free Walking Tour: I did this myself and I found it really interesting to learn more about the background of the city. Also the guide told a number of personal stories about his youth during the Hoxha regime, really interesting!
- Walk around Skanderbeg square: this square is not mother's finest. It is empty, grey, gigantic and always under construction. But you do find here the National Historical Museum (unfortunately little to no English explanation, beautiful mosaic on the front though), the statue of national hero Skanderbeg and the Et'hem Bey Mosque. Worth a visit!
- Go with the cable car to the top of Mountain Dajti: just like Skopje Tirana also has its own cable car. Go to the top of Mountain Dajti and enjoy the amazing view over the city. I did not do this myself, but it is on my list for next time. A ticket for the Dajti Express is 800 Leke per person (return ride). Easy to combine with a visit to Bunk'Art 1.
- Got some time left? Go on a day trip: Tirana is a perfect base for a number of day trips. Go to the beach at Durres (30 minute drive), head into nature at Shkoder (3 hours drive) or go to Berat, the 'City of Thousand Windows' (3 hours drive).
In and around Skanderberg square.

A recent survey shows that almost half of Americans do not know what digital eye strain is. Additionally, most aren't aware that lenses and enhancements are available to help with irritated eyes or visual issues that arise from daily screen time. These and other concerning findings surfaced in recent digital eye strain research conducted by Jobson/WebMD and by The Vision Council.
Digital eye strain symptoms are surging, while awareness of their cause—and alleviation—remains low. Digital eye strain sufferers are desperate for help. This presents you with a fantastic opportunity to provide them an informative, personalized, effective, and ultimately satisfying experience.
Now you can help your patients understand the symptoms associated of too much screen time, and the lenses available to help reduce them.
Vision Monday magazine recently featured a cover story called "MEGATREND: Screen Time," examining the intensifying phenomenon of device use, and how it connects to digital eye strain.

Is Your Website Mobile Friendly?
Why it's CRUCIAL that your Website is Responsive
Having a mobile friendly website is absolutely crucial in this day and age but...what does "mobile friendly" mean? WHY is is it crucial? How can it improve your business and your rankings in Google? What steps can you take if your website is NOT mobile friendly? I will answer all of these questions and maybe a few others in this article.
Before I begin to explain what "mobile friendly" means, let me just quickly point out that you may hear people use other terms that mean basically the same thing. A few of these are: "responsive", "mobile responsive" and "mobile optimized". That being said, if you are looking to have a new website built or create one yourself, you can feel comfortable that, if your designer (or the software you intend to use on your own), claims that the end product will be one of these things - then you are in good shape!
So What Does Mobile Friendly Mean?
Basically, a website that is mobile friendly looks the way that it should look and behaves the way that it should behave when viewed on a smart phone. Not too mysterious, right? But let me dig jusssst a tiny bit deeper because the word "should" can be pretty vague!
Generally Speaking, in order to be considered Mobile Friendly, your site should:
- Have the navigation area collapse into what is sometimes called a "hamburger menu" - which is simply one of those 3 horizontal lines you often see in the upper right side of a mobile website. An exception would be a landing page or a site that is only 2 or 3 pages total.
- Collapse into a single column layout - in other words, the ONLY scrolling a user should have to do is up-and-down scrolling, NOT left to right!
- Use a font size that is legible on a 3" screen (the average size of the screen on a smart phone)
Why Is Having a Mobile Friendly (Responsive, Optimized etc) CRUCIAL?
Reason 1: NOT having a mobile friendly site creates a HORRIBLE user experience!
Pretend you are out on the town with some friends and you all decide that you are in the mood for Italian food. One of the people in your group takes out their phone and says "Ok Google….Italian Restaurants in my area". Google returns a list of restaurants and you click through on a link that takes you to a website that is laid out in 3 columns! 3 columns works on a desktop computer, but on a 3" screen, Clark Kent himself, fresh out of the phone booth couldn't make sense of it! The only way you can possibly read the site at all is if you zoom waaay in, shove the screen up to your nose and scroll left to right. You can't get from page to page, you can't easily see their hours, their menu or any other relevant information.
How long are you going to stay on this site when you know full well there are 20 other websites for Italian Restaurants in the area? Not very long would be my guess!
Reason 2: Google said so!
Back in April of 2015 (at the time of this writing, THREE YEARS AGO) Google released one of their infamous Algorithms called "Mobilegeddon" which, in a nutshell, said that website owners needed "get with the times - - - or else"!
Or else what?
Would they take your website down? No. They can't do that. BUT they can take away a healthy portion of your website's ability to rank in their search engine, and thqt's almost the same thing.
With this being said, although many people may not think of it as such, having a responsive, mobile friendly website is actually a form of SEO (search engine optimization) which is, in my opinion, the most effective and targeted way to promote your business. For more information on this, see one of my other articles about SEO.
As a side note: It was estimated that in 2015 when Mobilegeddon was released 77% of Google searches came from smart phones! You can BET that number has NOT gone down!
Reason 3: First Impressons Last!
For years now, the first impression that people ever get of your business is what they see online. Whether that be your social media presence, reviews people have left about the business, or your actual website. If the first thing people notice is that you are doing things in an antiquated, out-of-date sort of way then they will subconsciously assume that you do EVERYTHING that way. It may not be fair, but it is true! So...get over it and get this poorly tended to aspect of your business up to snuff!
So You Know Your Website Is NOT Mobile Friendly, What Can You Do About It?
First, let me tell you a few things I would recommend that you do NOT do. And, for the sake of brevity in an already lenthy Blog post, I will omit the reasons why - at least for now.
Do NOT
- Create a separate version of your website for mobile!
- Use a 3rd party app like Duda Mobile (under any circumstances!)
- Create a one page version of your website with a link that says something to the effect of "Click Here To View Full Site" - and then have that link take the user to your non-mobile friendly website! (Don't laugh, businesses do this ALL THE TIME)
- Use WIX. Don't use it yourself or work with anyone that uses it
Ok, now that that is taken care of, here are a few solid options. Bear in mind that a lot will be dependent on your website and the type of situation that you find yourself in.
Option 1: Have A Professional Create A Mobile Friendly Site For You
This is a good option for a few reasons. The obvious one being that YOU won't have to deal with the frustratio yourself and will be able to put your focus where it truly needs to be - on your business!
Also, a professional will likely be able to get your project done in a fraction of the time it woud take you do figure it out - presumably with a better final product!
Lastly, being a web designer myself, it has become apparent to me that a LOT of businesses want to keep the same look of their old website when people visit it on larger devices; a good designer should be able to almost keep the "desktop computer look" identical to what it was before, while putting together a nice responsive design for smaller devices.
Option 2a: Learn WordPress Yourself
This one is for the ambitious DIYers! Learn enough about WordPress in order to create your own WordPress site using a mobile responsive theme! A word to the wise about this option, though - - while I DO believe that anyone can learn WordPress (heck, I believe anyone can do anything they set their mind to) I will NOT make the mistake of saying that learning WordPress is "easy". There is a steep learning curve and there is a LOT to learn, especially if you are going to be doing the future upkeep yourself. WordPress is the best- but it is not a "set it and forget it" type of deal!
Only choose this option if you are NOT afraid to get your hands dirty. That said, this is the BEST option in my opinion.
Option 2b: Learn Weebly
This option is for the DIYER as well but more for those that don't have the same amount of ambition and/or time as the group mentioned in optin 2a! Learn to do your website with Weebly. Weebly is a MUCH easier platform to work with than WordPress. For that reason it is much less robust and has far fewer options than WordPress. For example you will be forced into a Weebly cookie cutter template that you can't really alter a whole bunch..
There are other disadvantages as well, but overall this is a decent option worth considering if you just don't have the time or inclination to learn WordPress and don't want to spend the money on hiring a professional.
What have we learned?
So now you understand WHY it is crucial to have a mobile friendly website. You understand that you'll often hear the terms "mobile friendly" "mobile optimized", "mobile responsive" "responsive design" (and probably several others) used interchangeably - they all mean basically the same thing so don't let it confuse you! And finally, you are a aware of several options you have to get your website up-to-date.
If you have thoughts about this topic, feel free to comment below. If you found this information useful and know someone that should read it - please pass it along! Or, share the article via your social media. Whatever and whichever floats your boat! :)

Dear Reader,
The stripes on zebras are long thought of as a form of camouflage, but now another explanation has been found. So instead of baffling lions and leopards the stripes may be a way of keeping a much smaller, but no less bloodthirsty, creature at bay. It is thought that biting insects could be dazzled as they try to land on the animals. Scientists found that horse flies gathered around domestic horses and zebras at a similar rate- but landed on zebras only 25 per cent as often.
When uniformly-coloured horses were given 'zebra coats' flies made far fewer landings. Video footage showed that flies confronted with stripes came in too fast, often crashing into their prey or missing the landing altogether. This indicates that stripes may disrupt the flies' abilities to have a controlled landing. Theories about the striped purpose include camouflage, a means of confusing predators or signalling to other zebras, and a system of heat control.
Francis and I had our first dancing lesson this week and it was great fun. We have taken up dancing again but don't really know the steps of traditional dances. As we couldn't join in with an experienced group, we wanted to learn the steps with a teacher and then will be able to do so. I would advise anyone who wants a little exercise and amusement to give dancing a try.
The woman discovers the double act
of word-dancing at dinner,
recognizes with excitement
mutual friends from books, from poetry,
from worlds explored, but only
known thus far in solitude.
Together they dance through imagined lands
sharing knowledge,
throwing words back and forth
in light ethereal movements,
cerebral binding and bonding,
now the foxtrot, now the waltz.
For her these pleasures
are found at lunch parties, at dinner,
in libraries, on courses.
But where can the young word-dance?
Her grandson lunches on the run,
dines with Eastenders,
goes clubbing on solitary trips
too noisy, frightening, for word-dancing,
for cerebral binding and bonding,
now the foxtrot, now the waltz.
With best wishes, Patricia

Britney Spears: 'What the Hell Was I Thinking?'
Watch a clip from her upcoming documentary – the pop star talks about her erratic behavior, her loneliness and her struggle "to just cope"
In an upcoming documentary, Britney Spears candidly discusses her loneliness and her regrets about her much-publicized erratic behavior.
"I sit there and I'll look back and I'm like: I'm a smart person. What the hell was I thinking?" the pop star says in the 90-minute film, tentatively titled For the Record, produced in partnership with MTV.
In a video clip from the film, the 26-year-old Spears alludes to her tumultuous past: her divorce from Kevin Federline, forced psychiatric hospitalizations and loss of custody of her two sons.
"I've been through a lot in the past two or three years, and there's a lot that people don't know," she says.
"Sometimes I think I get kind of lonely because you don't open the gate up that much, you know I mean?" she adds. "You're guarded. You have to be that way, so I'm kind of stuck in this place and it's like: How do you deal? And you just cope, and that's what I do. I just cope with it, every day."
The documentary airs on MTV on Nov. 30, two days before the release of her new album, Circus.

Amy Peloff, a speaker from the Humanities Washington Speakers Bureau, presents "Feminism and Pop Culture," a discussion of what feminism means, at 6 p.m. Monday, July 23, at Sequim Library, 630 N. Sequim Ave.
Drawing on television and movies from the past 40 years (although focusing primarily on current and recent examples), Peloff, a media scholar, explores some of the fundamental principles of feminist thought and asks why we should care about popular culture's presentation of these concepts. This multimedia and interactive presentation provides an accessible way to learn about feminism and how to critically "read" popular media.
Peloff will also present "Feminism and Pop Culture" at 6 p.m. Tuesday, July 24, at the Port Angeles Library, 2210 S. Peabody St., and 6 p.m. Wednesday, July 25, at the Clallam Bay Library.
Peloff is an affiliate assistant professor of gender, women and sexuality studies and the former assistant director of the Comparative History of Ideas program at the University of Washington. A feminist historian and media scholar, her work examines the role that popular culture has played in disseminating feminist ideas beyond the organizations and activists that identify as feminist in the United States.
Peloff's writing on feminism has encompassed a variety of pop culture topics from Dolly Parton to Doctor Who, and she continually studies the ways in which ideas about identities are created, presented, and shared through media and popular culture.
Humanities Washington is designed to "spark conversation and critical thinking using story as a catalyst, nurturing thoughtful and engaged communities" across Washington state. Speakers Bureau, one of Humanities Washington's oldest and more popular programs, includes a roster of 31 cultural experts and scholars who offer public presentations across the state.

Manchester - Duanne Olivier took the prize wickets of England captain Joe Root and Ben Stokes as South Africa continued to fight back in the fourth Test at Old Trafford on Sunday.
England were 138 for six in their second innings, a lead of 274 runs, at tea on the third day.
Jonny Bairstow, fresh from his first-innings 99, was nought not out after 23 balls faced, with Moeen Ali unbeaten on four.
Pace bowler Olivier, only called up for this match after back injuries ruled out both Vernon Philander and Chris Morris, had taken two wickets for 13 runs in eight overs.
But it remained to be seen if South Africa's struggling batsmen could mount a successful chase in the fourth innings on a wearing pitch.
England were bidding for a first home Test series win over South Africa since 1998 at 2-1 up with one to finish in this four-match contest.
Root was also in search of a victory in his first Test series as England skipper.
But after establishing a healthy first-innings lead of 136, England lost three wickets either side of lunch.
After Keaton Jennings had been dropped on nought by diving third slip Dean Elgar off Kagiso Rabada, fast bowler Morne Morkel removed Alastair Cook and Tom Westley.
Former captain Cook, England's all-time leading Test run-scorer, had made 10 when he edged Morkel to Theunis de Bruyn in the gully.
Cook's Essex team-mate Westley then managed just nine in his fourth innings at this level before he too was caught in the gully.
The towering Morkel, who'd so often bowled well this series without reward, had taken two for eight in 18 balls.
At lunch, England were 53 for two, with Jennings 17 not out and Root 13 not out.
But South Africa-born Jennings was unable to cash in on his reprieve.
The Durham left-hander had added just one to his interval score when, trying to cut a Rabada ball that was too close to him, he edged to first slip Hashim Amla.
Prior to Sunday's innings, there had been widespread speculation that the 25-year-old would be dropped for the start of England's upcoming three-Test series at home to the West Indies, which precedes an Ashes tour of Australia.
And Jennings -- the 11th batsman chosen as an England opening partner for Cook since former captain Andrew Strauss retired in 2012 -- moved close to being axed after totalling just 127 runs in four Tests this series at an average of 15.88.
Finding batsmen good enough to cement a place in the top order alongside Cook and Root has long been a problem for England's selectors.
Dawid Malan, out for scores of one and 10 on Test debut during England's 239-run victory in the third Test at The Oval, was looking for a big score after falling for 18 in the first innings of this match.
But the Middlesex left-hander, born in London but brought up in South Africa, exited for six -- having been dropped on five -- when he gave a simple bat and pad catch to short leg off left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj.
England were now wobbling at 72 for four.
But Root and Stokes added 57 valuable runs.
Root had made a composed 49, featuring six fours, when he played on to Olivier.
Olivier struck again when a ball angled across left-handed batsman Stokes, on 23, took an outside edge held by South Africa captain Faf du Plessis in the slips.
Earlier, Stuart Broad removed Olivier as the, nine down overnight, were dismissed for 226.
It meant James Anderson, England's all-time leading wicket-taker -- was denied a maiden five-wicket Test innings haul on his Lancashire home ground.
But figures of four for 38 in 17 overs meant Anderson, who'd struck four times from the newly-named James Anderson End on Saturday, had his best innings return in seven Tests at Old Trafford.

The TripI did something really stupid last night: I stayed up all night playing Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty. I can't remember the last time I did that -- it was probably with the first Starcraft. A very addictive game, as you would expect from the folks at Blizzard. And not a quick one to beat, by any means.
Unfortunately, morning always comes at the same time, and we had to leave this morning. I realized at about 5:30 that it was getting late -- er, early -- and decided to take a quick nap on the couch. About two hours later, I ate breakfast, then we played one last game of Bohnanza and headed out.
Our drive was a good one, and after passing through the Alleghenies, we stopped for the night in Dayton, OH. This time, our comparison shopping for hotel rooms was a little more successful, thanks to our previous practice.
We had been looking forward to exploring Dayton, but by the time we got there, all we wanted was takeout and TV shows on the wifey's laptop. We were satisfied in these desires by The Royal Wok and The Office. Om nom nom and LOL, respectively.
The Blessings
The Interstate System. Like many blessings, this one is a double-edged sword. Arguably, more than anything else in our culture, Interstates have promulgated chain stores and restaurants, contributed to urban sprawl, and killed the small town. But they are also very nice, safe roads to use, and they enable travel opportunities that would have been considered the stuff of science fiction in the recent past.
I could drive from coast to coast in two days for about a week and a half's worth of salary if I really had to. Contrast that with the months of life-threatening travel by wagon or stagecoach that were the norm a century and a half ago, and then tell me whether the Interstate is a benefit or a detriment. Or think of those long, dirty, dreary train rides that would have been necessary to accomplish the same feat 100 years ago.
Say what you will about the Interstate System or Dwight D. Eisenhower, its father, we certainly enjoyed using it on this trip.
Wi-Fi. I love how ubiquitous free wi-fi has become all over the place: hotels, coffee shops... even McDonald's restaurants! No matter where we go, we never have to be off the grid for more than a few hours. Of course, like the Interstate System, this can be a double-edged sword, but as long as we use it wisely, wi-fi is a fantastic tool.
Online Map Services. Whether you prefer MapQuest, Google Maps, or some other service, these are a godsend. Where you used to have to spend hours poring over atlases and tables of city distances, you can now just plug your starting and ending addresses into the computer, and bada bing, you've got instant directions. Of course, the directions aren't any good if a highway doesn't actually exist in real life. But other than that, these are the next best thing to...
Global Positioning Systems (GPSes). In Virginia and Maryland, these are vital. Like, almost impossible to live without. Traffic volumes are so high, and construction is so frequent, that it is vital to have a GPS handy. This is especially true when you're going someplace you haven't been to very much before. Again, this is straight out of Sci-Fi. (In this case, literally! Arthur C. Clarke, author of such Sci-Fi works as 2001: A Space Odyssey, was also the originator of communications satellites, without which there would be no GPS.)

Clockwright Founder Rick Hale Combines Cogs with Craftsmanship
Rick Hale is an artist and clockmaker who designs and creates large-scale hardwood timepieces under the moniker Clockwright. Based in Michigan, his work explores and challenges the way people feel the passage of time in the post-industrial era. Each timepiece pays homage to the best clockmakers of the 18th century, especially his favourite clockmaker John Harrison. What's truly impressive about Rick is that he's completely self-taught, with most of what he knows coming from old books on mechanical engineering, clockmaking, physics and art.
The Clockwright timepieces are crafted from Michigan hardwoods, brass and stone over the course of about 400 hours. Rick combines the two ancient traditions of clockmaking and woodrighting into beautiful works of art that channel a classic aesthetic but are also unlike anything you have seen before.
Rick's 3 newest designs for 2017-18 are not complete, but you can view his plans online. The new timepieces are The W1, a large-scale timepiece that hangs 5′ x 3.5′ on the wall. Made from the client's choice among local hardwoods & several exotics, this piece will swing in seeming slow motion, gently ticking only once every two seconds.
Glass-housed, the L1 is a weight-driven mechanical table clock that features a lunar phase complication, indicating the current phase of the moon via a rotating globe made from ebony & holly. A brass bell gently chimes the full moon each month.
B1 is a hardwood timepiece built in homage to the work of Martin Burgess, the primary motive force behind Clock B. This piece will feature a Harrison remontoir, maintaining power, grasshopper escapement, & several giant hardwood gears with Lignum Vitae teeth. There's currently one of each of the 3 new clocks still available for commission.

Clothes shopping would be a lot easier if we know which styles and shapes would suit our body types the best. While anyone can wear any clothes they like, some fits will flatter and compliment your shape more than others. But that's good! Everyone is different, and the world would be a very dull place if we were all the same size and shape!
Obviously body shapes don't all fit into neat boxes, but there are basic shapes that you will generally fall into. The main shapes are apple, rectangle, wedge, pear and hourglass.
If you are apple-shaped, you tend to have a wider torso, with a fuller bust and waist. You tend to have slimmer arms and legs, and gain weight mostly around your waistline. When choosing new clothes and fashion, look for items that will narrow the upper half of the body and highlight your slimmer legs and arms.
Famous apple-shaped ladies include Jennifer Hudson, Catherine Zeta Jone and Tyra Banks.
When looking for jeans try low-waist slim trousers. The waistband will sit under your stomach, and the slim legs will elongate your pins. A swing coat is a very flattering fit for apple shapes. The tightened waistband will create shape, with the bottom half flaring out to accentuate your hips. Swing dresses are perfect for a formal look; the slim fitting garment will give you a great shape, but won't cling too much. Make sure it's the right length to show off those shapely pins!
Rectangle shaped ladies tend to have similar proportions in their shoulders, waist and hips. With a more athletic build, they tend to go for styles which will create curves.
Famous rectangle ladies are Keira Knightley, Natalie Portman and Anne Hathaway.
A sweetheart line dress is a cute option for a rectangle girl. The neckline will create interest and a cinched in waist with fuller skirt will create curves. Minkpink offer a great range of dresses that would look good on a rectangle shape. Long coats and tight trousers will show off your athletic figure and lean limbs. A pencil skirt and ruffle blouse is a great option for a formal event or office meeting. The soft blouse will create a feminine touch, with the tight fitting skirt showing off your legs and slim shape.
A wedge shape is an inverted triangle, with broader shoulders and torso, and slimmer waist and legs. Your legs are your best asset, so show them off while softening your top half.
Famous wedge's are Renee Zelwegger, Naomi Campbell and Audrina Partridge.
With a wedge shapes, it's better to keep your top half minimal and clean, with any patterns and prints on your bottom half. If you have a narrow waist, eccentuate this with a high waisted belt. Fuller skirts will add shape to your hips, this will allow them to balance out your top half. Avoid halter necks and strappy tops as this will make your shoulders look broader.
Ladies with a larger bottom half are described as Pear shape. Your hips are wider than your shoulders, with a rounder bottom but narrow waist. Make the most of your curves by widening your shoulders and highlighting your slim waist.
Pear celebrities are Kim Kardashian, Kelly Clarkson and Nicki Minaj.
When clothes shopping for this shape, look at necklines that accentuate the shoulders and waist. Scoop-neck, halter necks and plunging do this well. These draw attention away from the hips and towards the shoulders. Try fitted blazers which will highlight that narrow waist, and pointy shoes to elongate your legs.
If you're curvy, with well-proportioned shoulders and hips and narrow waist, then you're probably an hourglass figured lady. Your aim is to accentuate and show off those curves, and not hide them!
Famous pear shaped celebrities include Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez and Shakira
Wider necklines will look great on an hourglass, broadening your shoulders and highlighting your narrow waist even more. Belted jackets and coats also achieve this. Crop tops and pencil skirts are very popular at the moment, and suit an hourglass figure really well. A wide leg trouser with high belted waist looks great for a day in the office, combine it with a clean, white shirt for that professional look.
The important thing to remember when shopping for your shape is to have fun and feel comfortable in what you are wearing. Be confident and proud of your body, no matter what shape you are. We're all beautiful in our own bodies, make sure you keep yourself healthy and happy no matter what the fashion trends are telling you!

Blips: Neverending Finality
Source: Dispatches from A Realm Reborn
Author: Simon Parkin
Site: Eurogamer
Video games have been known to possess addictive qualities, and I like to think I've been able to show more restraint from falling into unhealthy gaming patterns as I've gotten older. MMOs always seemed to be the black tar heroin of addictive video games, and as such, I've steered clear of them, scared off by tales of lost time and disintegrating real world sociability. I've never wanted to subject myself to that sort of atmosphere. Whenever I hear MMO players discuss their experiences within these virtual worlds, they often seem intriguing, if not amazing, in concept, but I have trouble seeing past the grind of the actual moment-to-moment activities and the stunning time commitment.
Simon Parkin breaks down his mostly positive experience with Square-Enix's MMO reboot Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn in a recent piece for Eurogamer. The game does seem to have it's appeal, and the story behind it's development is incredible, and a bit heartbreaking. If ever I was to be swung over to the dark side and pick up an MMO, something with the Final Fantasy name attached to it might be the reason. Final Fantasy XII and Xenoblade Chronicles showed me that I actually enjoyed combat stylized with MMO trappings, but both of those games also have preconceived narratives with definitive endings, and, much to their credit, rarely pushed me to grind. Seeing series callbacks in FFXIV just makes me want to go back and play the older games in the series, not invest in a new title that also requires a monthly fee.
I want to like MMOs. The raids, the guilds, and the performative elements are all quite intriguing, but I've resolved to wait on the massively multiplayer structure until it breaks out of the World of Warcraft mold where it currently finds itself. If MMOs were for me, FFXIV might very well be my game, but since they're not, I'll continue to observe and appreciate from a safe distance.

This way our PHPP guru and MVHR designer can have their input into the frame – so improvements to cold bridging details can be incorporated by modifying details around junctions. MVHR duct holes are also all pre-cut in the frame, so they can all be in the joist zone. The alternative, conventional industry approach is for the MVHR ducts to be worried about after the event – meaning ducts have to be boxed out in corners of rooms etc.

If your daughter now has a baby of her own, Mother's Day has likely taken on a special meaning for you. Not only are you now a grandmother – with all of the joy that entails – but you get to watch your child go through all the experiences of being a mother and nourishing a young life. The first Mother's Day after becoming a grandmother will likely be a particularly memorable one for you and your daughter, so presenting her with a personal memento of her motherhood is a lovely way to commemorate the day. If you're having trouble coming up with an idea, consider making a scrapbook that contains three generations – grandmother, mother and child – to give to her. Here's how you can create a three-generation Mother's Day scrapbook:
Gather Your Materials
First, gather everything you'll need to make the gift. Craft or scrapbooking stores are an excellent place to look, as are chain stores like Target and Wal-Mart. Here are some materials you'll need:
- A book
- Scrapbooking paper
- Photos and mementos
- Pens and markers
- Craft scissors
- Glue or tape
- Stickers or stamps
Include Photos
After you've gathered everything you need to make a beautiful scrapbook, you should decide on the layout you want to use. The best way to do this is to look at the pictures you have and choose how to group them and how to arrange each set on a page. Some pictures that could make this scrapbook special include pictures of you as children, photographs of your daughter growing up, pictures of her throughout the pregnancy and in the hospital, sonograms and photos of the new baby. If you want, include images of your daughter's father and husband as well.
Add a Few Mementos
Aside from photos, you should also include some mementos. These can be anything from copies of birth certificates from all three generations to dried flowers from her child's birth to notes, drawings or anything else she made while growing up.
Write Down Some Memories
No scrapbook is complete without a few heartfelt messages and notes. Take your time captioning some of the images, and coming up with a couple of longer messages. Write about your experiences as a mother or about some funny or sweet memories you have as a family.
Have Other Family Members Create Pages
Dedicate a couple of scrapbook pages to messages from others in the family, including the child's father. They can include their favorite memories with her, give advice, wish her well or anything else that comes to mind. Your daughter will love having those notes from the dearest people in her life.
Leave Some Pages Empty
Don't forget: This is a three-generation scrapbook. So, leave a few pages empty so that your daughter can fill them in as her child grows older. If you want, give her a head start by making a page about the baby's birth – include how long it took, how much he or she weighed and some of your favorite memories from the day (if you were lucky enough to be there). Then, give your daughter a few prompts on the following pages like "Baby's first words were…" or "School Pictures."
Get Creative With Presentation
The best part about your gift is what's inside, but the presentation counts too. Get creative by wrapping the scrapbook in pretty floral wrapping paper or a ribbon in a color that complements the season. You can even tuck a single flower into a piece of ribbon. Use a pink rose – a common flower to give on Mother's Day – or a sprig of lilac blossoms, which represent the love between mother and daughter.
Don't forget, you can also make a Generations of Love photo collage in our Facebook app.

Turkish Chi Köfte
Rated 0 out of 5 based on 0 votes
- 1 cup cous cous - cooked like directed
- 1 x cardamon pot
- 1/2 x small red capsium - fine cubed
- 2 generous tspn tomato paste
- 2 tspn ground cumin
- 1 pinch nutmeg
- 1/2 - 1 tspn cayenne pepper
- 2 tspn sweet paprika powder
- 1 small clove garlic - grated
- 1/4 x onion, grated
- 1/2 small x bunch of dill - chopped
- 1 splash sunflower oil
- 1 x small iceberg salad - to serve with
Cook the cous cous like directed. Add the cardamon pot and seasalt to the water.
Remove the cardamon when ready. Add the prepared capsicum and tomato paste to the cous cous when luke warm. Also add the spices, a splash of oil and mix well. Give it a rest of 30 min.
Also add the chopped dill.
Now it is very important to knet it very well — if you don't knet it well, it will not stick together to make the Köfte-rolls. So knet until the dough gets sticky. That should take approx 10 min. You can use your processor for that, but I prefer to use my hands …
When the dough is ready, form the rolls and refridgerate for a couple of hours. The Chi-Köfte will develop more flavour when rested. Best is to prepare it in the morning.
Serve it with fresh iceberg lettuce — put the chi köfte in the middle of a leafe, wrap it and … ENJOY

I am sure there will not be anyone who doesn't know about Article 370 because the Kashmir problem is not just a state problem but the country problem.
Every other day we witness its bad consequences. Before going to analyze its removal, let's go back to its history.
We need to know what really happened at the time of independence.
There were around 562 princely states and all of them had framed their own constitution.
However, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, India's first deputy prime minister and the minister of home affairs, integrated 562 princely states with the Union of India and prevented the Balkanization of the newly-independent country.
But there was just one odd state; the state of Jammu and Kashmir delayed signing the Instrument of Accession.
Sheikh Abdullah led a massive 'Quit Kashmir' movement against Maharaj Hari Singh (the Hindu king of then Kashmir) in 1946. That time, the country was close to Independence. Abdullah wanted to establish himself as an undisputed future leader of the Valley.
Due to the politically charged atmosphere in the country at that time, Abdullah was quite naturally jailed. After Nehru got elected as Congress president, he freed Abdullah. And so, Maharaja became reluctant to be a part of the Nehru-led India.
Why Nehru Saved Abdullah?
National Conference headed by Sheikh Abdullah is a very good friend of Nehru and wanted control over Kashmir. Both Abdullah and Nehru hated then Hindu ruler of Kashmir, Maharaja Hari Singh. Nehru didn't want to lose control over the handling of Kashmir to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel within the party.
Sheikh Abdullah was installed as the prime minister of the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir after its accession to India in 1947. Due to several political consequences, Article 370 and Section 35A, were introduced subsequently which shows how Kashmir became an endless bargain deal for India.
We all know that on January 26, 1950, the Indian Constitution was adopted. The Jammu and Kashmir State, recognized as an autonomous identity, based upon the Muslim majority character of its population.
What Is Article 370?
It is a 'Temporary, Transitional, and special provision' which gives autonomous status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
How 370 Creates Problems?
It gives absolute power to Jammu and Kashmir government. Except for defense, foreign affairs, finance, and communications, Parliament needs state government's concurrence for applying all other laws. It means the state's residents live under a separate set of laws.
Indian citizens from other states cannot purchase land or property in Jammu and Kashmir. Under Article 370, the center has no power to declare a financial emergency under Article 370 in the state. It can declare an emergency in the state only in case of war or external aggression.
Therefore, the Union government can't declare an emergency on grounds of internal disturbance or imminent danger unless it is made at the request or with the concurrence of the state government.
Check out the disadvantages of Article 370.
1. India Can't Develop Kashmir And Without Development There Can't Be Peace
2. Political Parties And Pakistan Gets Benefit Of 370
3. Lack Of Medical Facilities

before, this is still elevated, but we're seenig a decline of about a quarter point daily. If authorities here and abroad continue these actions, at least the financial crisis can be left behind, leaving only the real economic crisis to deal with–and the financial authorities can't help us there. Perhaps another "stimulus" plan???
Thought it wouldn't to give it a shot. I was right.
Känns faktiskt som att KHK är på väg att göra bort sig här. Dom borde nog vara försiktiga med att komma på kant med Fahlander. Utan Fahlanders pengar blir det svårt att gå upp i allsvenskan. Nu kanske Fahlander lägger krutet på Kallinge/Ronneby istället t ex.

Susan — I hate paper work! Ugh! So, I agree with you…getting started is the hardest part. Once I start on a project, I usually do just fine and work hard at it. I'm thankful that my family has a family member who happens to be an accountant.

Red Leaves by Thomas Cook recommended by member Bill Sawisch.
"Thomas Cook writes like a wounded angel, and Red Leaves is one of his masterworks."—Peter Straub
Eric Moore has a stable life in a quiet town. Then, on an ordinary night, his teenage son Keith babysits Amy Giordano, the eight-year-old daughter of a neighboring family. The next morning Amy is missing, and Eric isn't sure his son is innocent. Caught in a vortex of doubt and lies, Eric must find out what happened to Amy Giordano before his—and the community's—suspicions about Keith are proved right.
An Edgar Award Nominee for Best Novel
"Red Leaves is both heart-wrenching and gut-wrenching. A family can be 'briefly held,' and yet so enduring."—New York Daily News
"[Cook is] one of the most suspenseful of crime-fiction writers . . . Readers will glimpse blurred snapshots from their own lives—and be afraid."—Cleveland Plain Dealer
"This disturbing exploration of humans' true motives . . . builds to a rapid and unexpected climax."—Newsweek
