The Nigerian army has debunked several claims by Nigerian president Mohammed Buhari that no Nigerian territory is still under Boko Haram control. Since at least January of 2016, Buhari had made that false claim to international audiences.
Contradicting the president’s pronouncements, the army just announced that it rescued a whopping figure of 1,623 Nigerians who had been held by the terrorists in Kala Balge local government.
Thousands of Nigerians are believed to still be held by the terrorists in local governments in Borno not yet liberated by the Nigerian army with some suspecting that there is a sort of peace accord between the Nigerian army and the terrorists to remain quietly in control of parts of north Borno. The release follows:
Troops on clearance operations on Monday at Jarawa village in Kala Balge Local Government Area of Borno, rescued 1,623 captives held by remnants of Boko Haram terrorists after they neutralised 21 terrorists in a battle, an official said.
According to a statement issued by the army spokesperson, Sani Usman, the troops also recovered 3 AK-47 Rifles with registration numbers 565222414, 563729686 and UF 3646, a 36 hand grenade, 12 cutlasses and four motorcycles.
“The rescued persons have been escorted to Rann Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) Camp, while all the children were vaccinated,” Mr. Usman, a brigadier general said.
He said the troops of 3 Battalion, 22 Brigade also cleared terrorists from Deima, Artano, Saduguma, Duve, Bardo, Kala, Bok, Msherde and Ahirde settlements, based on tip off.
“One significant aspect of this operation is that the unit noted for its experience in battle, resilience and bravery did not record any casualty,” the army spokesman said.

Alberta’s mountain resort community of Canmore has seen condo prices jump by close to 10 per cent this year, according to real estate firm Royal LePage.
In a report released on Wednesday, the company said the median price for a condo year to date to the end of October has surged 9.6 per cent to $472,000. But the price for a detached home has dipped by 1.1 per cent to $918,500.
“We’ve seen more sales activity in the entry-level market this year,” said Brad Hawker, broker and owner of Royal LePage Rocky Mountain Realty.
“While most buyers in Canmore are from within Canada, we have seen a slight increase in international demand from the United States and mainland China.”
With limited land for future development keeping values intact, it’s likely that baby boomers and generation Xers will continue to purchase recreational retirement properties in the region, added Hawker.
Across Canada, Royal LePage said prices in many key winter recreational real estate markets are experiencing healthy year-over-year price appreciation, as retirees, investors and buyers looking for winter getaways continue to spur demand.
“Canada boasts the world’s most spectacular winter experiences. Across our vast land are recreational regions that offer adventure, opportunities for creating priceless family memories and a simple refuge from the hustle and bustle of city life,” said Phil Soper, president and CEO of Royal LePage.
“The number of buyers shopping for a four-season recreational property, be they travelling a modest drive from the local metropolis or a jet-setting trip across the pond, is again on the rise, and recreational property values are rising as a result. This is particularly true in the mountainside condominium market as more and more investors seek the convenience of lock-and-leave living.”
In Western Canada, the median price of a condominium in winter recreational regions rose at a faster pace compared to detached properties, while the median price for the latter dipped.

One of the most common questions that people have when planning a trip to Mykonos is what to wear. The island has a Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. In the summer months, the temperature on the island can reach up to 30 degrees Celsius or more, with high humidity and very little rainfall.
When visiting Mykonos in the summer, it is important to dress in light, comfortable clothing that will keep you cool and protect you from the sun. This means wearing lightweight and breathable fabrics such as cotton, linen, and silk, and avoiding heavy fabrics like wool and synthetic materials.
When it comes to colors, it is best to stick to light, neutral shades that will reflect the sun’s rays and keep you cool. White, beige, and light blue are all good choices, as they will help you stay cool and stylish in the summer heat.
In addition to light, comfortable clothing, it is also important to bring along a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. A hat will help keep the sun out of your eyes and off your face, while sunglasses will protect your eyes from harmful UV rays. Sunscreen is also essential, as it will help prevent sunburn and other forms of skin damage.

21 Oct What is a VAT (red) invoice in Vietnam?
In Vietnam, unlike many other countries, invoices must be purchased in advance. Since 2019, it is mandatory for new companies to use electronic invoices (e-invoices). These are called “red” invoices or VAT invoices or “hóa đơn đỏ”. In other countries (except China), any document titled “invoice” can be used and considered as an invoice. In Vietnam, such as in China, the invoices system is centralized and each company must purchase a number of invoices that will be used when they want to “declare” a business or a transaction. It also means that if you do not issue an VAT invoice, your transaction will not be registered by the government therefore not accounted.

I watch my 15-month-old toddle frantically up the driveway, moving as fast as his little feet will carry him. He looks back at me to make sure I’m following him, babbling and pointing toward the door. We’re at the place my husband and I have lovingly declared Miss Jane’s—the in-home daycare our son has been going to since he was eight months old.
In the seven months my son has been going to Miss Jane’s, I haven’t once regretted the decision to put him in daycare. After staying home with him for eight months, I was nervous about the transition. Would we miss each other? Would he get enough attention? It seemed no matter what I did—went back to work, stayed home or something in between—I would miss out on something.
As with most parenting decisions, there are always pros and cons, but ultimately putting our son in daycare was the right choice for our family—and one that comes with many benefits.
1. The socialization opportunities are amazing
The in-home daycare my son attends has a mix of children ranging in age from four months to four years old. At 15 months, my son falls in the middle and gets the benefit of interacting with children of various ages, giving him the opportunity to both learn from the older children and model for the younger ones. As an only child at home, this environment exposes him to learning opportunities he may not get elsewhere and lays the foundation for important social skills such as sharing, communication and empathy.
2. I can teach him a lot—but others can teach him more
I love being a mom, but admittedly I often struggle to come up with activities to foster my son’s development, which is one reason why I am so grateful for our daycare provider. She fills in the gaps where I feel I’m not quite measuring up—developing my son’s language and problem-solving skills with songs, stories and games, and promoting his creativity with endless craft projects. I know he is learning and growing in ways he may not be if he were home with me full-time.
3. Daycare is great for independent little ones
This transition has been made easier by the fact that my son’s personality shines in a daycare environment. He has always been very independent and eager to explore his surroundings. I took him by the daycare a couple times before my first day at my new job and he warmed up immediately.
I do think a child’s personality and disposition make a difference in whether or not daycare is a good fit. If my son were upset every time we dropped him off, that would be much harder to deal with and would make me far less comfortable with the whole thing. But, as it is, he’s thriving!
4. My mental health has improved
For me, going back to work has greatly improved my mental health and made me a better mom. After suffering from postpartum depression, going back to work full-time has given me the space to rekindle the parts of myself not wrapped up in motherhood.
I’m able to be more present when I am with my son and more fully appreciate our time together. All parents are different, and while some thrive staying at home full-time, others may find they need to work outside the home—either for financial reasons or because working makes them more calm, patient and happy. ?
5. The more positive relationships in my son’s life, the better
Best of all, it’s clear how much Jane adores my son and all
the children in her care. Before going back to work, I thought I may feel sad should my son develop a strong attachment to anyone other than me. But, now, seeing how much he loves his daycare provider makes my heart swell.
I want to do everything I can to foster any and all positive relationships in his life, and instead of seeing his relationship with his daycare provider as any kind of threat to my bond with him, I see my son’s daycare provider as another influential role model to show him love and help him feel safe.
For our family the pros of daycare outweigh the cons, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t drawbacks. It is expensive, and for that reason alone it is often out of reach for too many families, especially those with more than one child. I sometimes struggle with the guilt that I’m not there enough for my son—a feeling all too familiar in motherhood regardless of the choice to work outside the home or not. And while I love my job, I do sometimes miss my son and am grateful for the photos his daycare provider sends me throughout the day.
It’s difficult to strike a balance between the many roles I take on each day, but knowing my son is in good hands gives me the freedom to focus on my work. Knowing he is thriving and well cared for in my absence is truly a blessing.

June 1, 2022
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Hundreds of students walked out of class Tuesday and gathered in downtown Minneapolis to demand state legislators adopt tougher gun laws in the wake of last week’s mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.
The students walked out around 12:30 p.m. and gathered in Gold Medal Park. They demanded officials create a statewide advisory group made up of students and teachers from every school district in the state to discuss ways to reduce gun violence in schools.
They also want legislators to cut down on the number of active shooter drills required by state law. Right now schools must conduct at least five drills each year. Students insist the drills cause trauma and they want the state to require only two drills.
Other demands include funding for mental health counseling for every student in Minnesota and a ban on AR-15-style assault rifles.
Fridley High School junior Jean Rhodes says the school shooting was even more unnerving because it came less than two weeks after a white gunman killed 10 Black people in Buffalo, New York. She says students deserve to feel safe.
Students across the country have held similar walkouts over the Uvalde shootings.


Lowey: Expiring Federal Jobless Aid Must Be Renewed in New Year
WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. – More than 4,000 Westchester residents and 1.3 million nationwide will lose all federal jobless aid starting Dec. 28, which could send them over a frightening financial cliff, U.S. Rep. Nita Lowey said Tuesday.
The U.S. House of Representatives adjourned for the rest of the year without extending unemployment insurance benefits, which took effect in 2008 to help families recover from the financial collapse. It applies to laid-off workers who have maxed out on their six months of state compensation, which is typically 26 weeks.
“As the holiday season approaches, the financial stakes could not be higher for Lower Hudson Valley families,” Lowey said. “To strengthen these families and our economy, Congress must retroactively extend these essential benefits as the first order of business when it returns in 2014.”
In addition to the 127,100 jobless New Yorkers who already receive the federal jobless aid, 132,800 more would run out of their state benefits and not receive a federal extension in the first half of 2014 if Congress doesn’t renew the emergency unemployment compensation. It could also result in the U.S. losing 240,000 jobs in 2014, according to an analysis by the House’s Ways and Means Committee.
Extending the emergency unemployment benefits through 2014 would cost $26 billion, which would add to the federal debt and eventually reduce economic growth, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
“It is a disgrace that millions of Americans and more than 100,000 New Yorkers, those who continue to suffer long term unemployment, will no longer be able to sustain themselves and their families because the U.S. Congress has failed to extend the Federal Unemployment Insurance,” Paul Ryan, president of Westchester/Putnam Central Labor Body, said in a statement. “An unemployment insurance extension would provide needed relief for New York families, allow them to have some dignity and also provide a bridge until they can return to steady employment. Congress must pass an extension to the federal unemployment insurance now.”
In New York, the unemployment rate, is 7.6 percent. The national rate dropped from 7.3 to 7 percent in November. Those unemployed less than five weeks dropped by 300,000, but the long-term unemployed remained steady at 4.1 million, which is 37.8 percent of all unemployed workers, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. However, 718,000 long-term unemployed workers have found jobs in the past 12 months.
House Speaker John Boehner (R – Ohio) has said the lower unemployment rate would make it less likely the House would extend the unemployment benefits.
“Yet, that is just the beginning, because as more and more workers seeking jobs find none, they too will fall from hardship into catastrophe when they run out of the meager 26 weeks of benefits,” Joe Mayhew, secretary and treasurer of CWA Local 1103 and vice president of the Westchester/Putnam Central Labor Body.


Advertisements I was watching TV last night and the picture and sound on the TV went black. Rebooted and it was fine for about 10 minutes then went out again.

Both Tivo online and the Android app also find the Bolt and I can watch live TV and recordings. Am I correct in assuming that the HDMI port on the Bolt is dead?

On April 20th of this year the provincial government announced at 15% Foreign Buyer’s Tax that sent the Toronto real estate market into a downward spiral.
The average sold price for a Toronto property peaked in April at $943,947. Then starting in May, the average sold price fell consecutively for 4 months.
However taking a closer look at the condo market, with a specific focus unit sales in Yorkville area, prices of Yorkville condos have not been directly impacted by the Foreign Buyer’s Tax.
While house prices were falling in the month of May, sold prices for Yorkville condos were actually rising and reached their highest level for the year in the month of June with an average sold price of $1.523M.
With the exception of the peak months of April, May and June, the average sold price for a Yorkville condo has been fairly stable landing in the $1M to $1.1M range.
Now that we are coming to the end of 2017, sold prices for Yorkville condos at the end of October are still higher than they were in March.
While overall property sales in the City of Toronto are starting to stabilize, sold prices have not yet been able recover to the level they achieved in March.
If we break it down by price per square foot, we see a similar pattern emerge with the sold price/square foot for a Yorkville condo peaking in the month of June at $1228.
This also the first time Yorkville condos sales have broken the $1000/sf barrier. Since January of this year, each month the average sold price per square foot has been consistently above the $1000 mark.
Despite the implementation of the Foreign Buyer’s Tax and its negative impact on overall property prices in the City of Toronto, the Yorkville condo market continues to remain stable and strong.

Writing for Pleasure
Co-ordinators: George Watson and Ann Quintilla
Meetings: Monthly, 1 st Thursday, 2.00 p.m.
The small group restarted, in Ann’s apartment in Kendal, in November and has welcomed a new member.
One person wrote an amusing piece about ‘Seven vertically challenged non-gender specific persons and Covid 19’ - no prize for guessing who these are.
Another entertained us with two songs she had written. She sang them and accompanied herself on a ukulele. No one could claim there is no variety with this group.
One member lamented the loss of his muse and, as others have experienced a similar loss, we have a title for our next offerings - The Party - although everyone is free to write what they want.
We were very pleased to welcome 2 more new members to the group. Fortunately our muses seem to have come out of hiding and we are all writing again on a variety of themes and in very different styles.
One member wrote two songs that she sang to us, accompanying herself on a ukulele. Great entertainment! That was definitely a first for this group.
If anyone else would like to join this group and share their poetry or prose with us they would be most welcome. Contact Ann Quintilla using the messaging link at top right.

Welcome to the HRP Press Room
Management Briefing: Hospital Inpatient Prospective Payment System 2007 Final Rule
Live 90-Minute Audio Conference Scheduled For
Thursday, February 2, 2006 from 1:30 – 3:00 pm ET
Date: October 2, 2006
Contact: Robert Jenkins
Phone: (732) 292-1100
MANASQUAN, N.J. — The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has changed the method for reimbursing hospitals for inpatient stays for fiscal year (FY) 2007. It is the first significant change in the reimbursement system since it was first implemented in 1983. The revised payments will be effective for discharges on or after October 1st. The goal, according to CMS, is to improve the accuracy of Medicare’s payment for inpatient stays. The payment reforms, which will be phased in over time, align hospital payments more closely with the costs of a patient’s care by using hospital costs rather than charges, and by accounting more fully for the severity of the patient’s condition.
Health Resources Publishing has announced the new audio conference, “Management Briefing: Hospital Inpatient Prospective Payment System 2007 Final Rule Changes” which is taking place on Thursday, October 19, 2006 from 1:30-3:00 EST.
The speakers are Mary Cronin, Director, and Tina Ford, Senior Manager of BESLER Consulting, a leading advisory firm in healthcare financial management and operations. This program will review of the Medicare Budget FY 2007 changes affecting acute care hospitals, post acute care, skilled nursing facilities, inpatient psychiatric, partial hospitalization, and Medicare managed care.
Medicare’s inpatient rates for operating expenses will increase by 3.4 percent in FY 2007 for those hospitals that report quality data to CMS. Overall, the changes are estimated to increase payments to acute care hospitals by $3.4 billion.
How to Register:
To register for “Management Briefing: Hospital Inpatient Prospective Payment System 2007 Final Rule Changes,” visit http://www.healthresourcesonline.com/edu/mip.htm or call (800) 516-4343.
The cost of the conference is $227 per site if registered before October 11 and $277 after the early bird deadline.

Minnesota South: Why Minnesotans Love Fort Myers
Photo: Jenni Konrad
It’s really no secret that northerners flock to warmer climates during certain months of the year, and that’s especially true when it comes to Minnesotans. Residents of the state are known to frequent places such as Southwest Florida when the weather turns to the winter season, and that’s certainly been the case in cities such as Fort Myers.
A couple of years ago it was determined that most of the newest residents to land in Fort Myers came from nearby Naples, with higher costs blamed for some of the exodus. But figures also show quite a few Minnesotans have been making the move in large numbers.
Minnesotans seem to love Fort Myers. It stands to reason that ever since the Minnesota Twins found a home in Fort Myers for spring training, some of their fans might follow. During spring training, Minnesota Day draws out Minnesotans in large numbers for some annual fun, including a large pregame tailgate.
Others, of course, are probably lured in by the advantage of sunny skies and warmer temperatures, especially coming from traditionally one of the coldest places in the US during the winter. It certainly doesn’t hurt either that Sun Country Airlines, which is based out of Minnesota, added some new direct routes a couple of years ago to sunny climates such as Punta Gorda.
Fort Myers was already one of the airline’s busiest destinations. There are also several other airlines that fly between Minneapolis and Fort Myers.
Many millionaires and billionaires with Minnesota ties own property in Southwest Florida. Some developers and business owners operating out of Fort Myers also have ties to Minnesota, too.
In fact, there are several chains that operate out of both states. In fact, so many businesses and so many people with Minnesota ties are now in the area that its sometimes referred to as Minnesota South, just with white sand beaches instead of snow.


I thank the internet gods for stock photography all of the time. As someone who never mastered the art of taking pictures, these images allow me to make pretty content despite myself. Hallelujah.
I’m also a girl on a budget, and free photo resources are essential. Stock photo sites where you can find royalty-free images regularly come to my rescue, so I’m excited to share the best sites and some tips for taking full advantage of these resources.
The power of visuals in social media
Social media users rely on beautiful photos and graphics to tell compelling stories about their lives and businesses. They’re a powerful tool for communication and brand building.
As much as I love the written word, the perfect image has special powers. It can:
- Attract attention
- Communicate ideas more efficiently
- Improve a viewer’s ability to remember something
- Drive better engagement
- Appeal to search algorithms
But not all photos are created equal — there are certain characteristics an excellent stock photo contains.
Characteristics of excellent stock photos
When diving into free photo resources, the perfect stock photo will have these attributes:
- High quality. Blurry or pixelated images can harm your brand’s credibility. Always opt for high-resolution photos.
- Authenticity. For the most part, images should feel real and relatable. Overly staged or artificial photos can alienate your audience. Unless a heightened style is a self-conscious part of your campaign, go for pictures that seem accessible and organic.
- Appropriateness. The image should align with your brand identity and resonate with your target audience.
- Engagement. Great photos draw you in. They may be interesting, inspiring, amusing, calming, puzzling, and so on. Perhaps they convey a certain mood or message. Some element or quality affects the viewer, inviting them to engage.
Just as in blog posts or other forms of content, the high-quality images also have to work for your specific brand and content.
A picture is worth a thousand words, but are those words telling the right story?
Visuals should be relevant to your brand and message. Otherwise, they might confuse or even alienate your followers.
In social media, relevance should also be instantly identifiable. A legal firm specializing in medical malpractice probably wants to focus on law office images rather than healthcare ones, which could send the wrong message to someone scrolling through a feed.
Cultural and seasonal relevance also matter. A Christmas-themed visual won’t perform as well for audiences that don’t celebrate the holiday. It also might seem strange in content published during the spring.
In the world of social media, clarity is king. Your visuals should be clear and easy to understand at a glance. Users often move through content quickly, and if your image is too complicated or confusing, they’ll likely skip over it.
- Simplicity. Opt for images with a clear subject and minimal distractions.
- Contrast. Use high-contrast images to make your subject stand out.
- Consistency. Keeping visuals consistent with your brand’s aesthetic and color scheme makes them instantly recognizable.
Make sure any text is readable, too. Accessibility guidelines suggest you leave text out of your image when possible. Applications can modify or interpret text more easily, accommodating user needs or preferences.
The perfect visual evokes emotion, creating a strong connection between your brand and the viewer.
For example, an organization protecting wildlife may incorporate images of animals suffering due to habitat loss into their non-profit storytelling, inspiring viewers to take action and support the cause.
It’s important to find the right balance when using emotional appeal. The emotion should never feel manipulative or inappropriate. Authenticity is key.
The best free photo resources
If you have a particular image in mind and the usual suspects don’t have it, you can run a Google search for free-to-use images on a theme. In addition to filtering your image source by usage rights, you’ll need to double-check the linked licensing information, but it is possible.
These stock photo websites are easier to use and, most times, will have the type of image you need. Many advertise premium content or memberships, but a free account will permit you to download plenty of images to post on your accounts.
Unsplash is one of the most well-established sources of royalty-free images. It’s known for its wide variety of images, which photographers worldwide contribute regularly.
The platform houses over five million free high-resolution images and has an easy-to-use interface with an efficient search function.
There is a premium membership option — Unsplash+ — with additional pictures and fewer copyright restrictions on commercial use.
Pexels is a platform providing free stock photos and videos. It prides itself on its selection of trendy, aesthetically pleasing images. Its library is smaller than other free photo resources, but it’s high-quality and entirely free.
Pixabay provides all kinds of free media: photos, videos, illustrations, music, GIFs, and sound effects. Its strength is its broad spectrum of content types. There’s no premium plan, but you will find advertisements for paid content.
Tip: Pay attention to the quality of your images to maintain brand consistency.
Because it’s linked to Shopify, the public archive is particularly strong when it comes to retail trends and product photos.
Freepik offers not only photos but also icons, Photoshop documents (PSDs), and vector graphics. A vector image is a digital graphic using mathematical formulas to create outlines and shapes, which allows you to resize it without losing quality. They are ideal for creating logos and other designs.
While many resources are free, some Freepik content is only available with a premium subscription. Also, non-premium users must attribute the images.
For those who want a little more control over their images, there’s Canva. In addition to free photo resources, Canva includes image editing tools and easy-to-customize templates for different channels.
Small businesses and marketers can even take advantage of Constant Contact’s built-in Canva integration. Find and perfect the images you want directly within your email, social, and web content.
Best practices for using free photos
Use free photo resources responsibly. These are powerful tools that deserve your respect and compliance.
Check the license
Before downloading and using a free photo, make sure you understand its image use rights.
Some free photos are in the public domain, meaning they’re free of all copyright restrictions and can be used however you like.
Others are offered under Creative Commons (CC) licenses, which permit you to use the image without obtaining permission from the photographer. However, different types of CC licenses come with their own sets of restrictions. For example, some allow only non-commercial use, while others may permit it but require attribution.
Always check the license before using a photo to ensure you’re complying with its terms.
Be aware of restrictions
Even if a photo is licensed for free use, there may still be restrictions on how it can be used. For instance, photos featuring recognizable individuals may need a model release to be used commercially. Similarly, be careful when you see photos depicting copyrighted works, logos, or trademarks.
Be sure to read the terms and conditions on the website where you’re downloading the photo. When in doubt, it’s best to choose another image or seek legal advice.
Common limitations on photo licenses include:
- Unlawful use
- No use of “editorial use only” content for commercial projects
- No standalone file use
- No use of trademarks or logos
- No subscription abuse
- No false representation of authorship
Creators can also restrict the degree to which you may alter an image with an online photo editor or how often or long you may use it.
Give credit to the photographer
Give credit where it’s due!
Although only sometimes required by the license, it’s a good practice to credit the photographer whenever possible. A simple mention of the photographer’s name and a link to their portfolio or the source of the image is often enough. This shows respect for the creator’s work and helps promote their work to a wider audience, which is why many creators offer up their valuable pictures.
Use high-quality photos
The quality of the photos you use reflects on your brand. Always opt for high-resolution images and pay attention to factors like composition, lighting, and color.
Low-resolution, blurry, or poorly composed photos look unprofessional. If you’re using pictures to make your profile and content stand out on LinkedIn, you don’t want to attract attention for the wrong reasons. The same is true even for platforms less focused on professional networks.
As humans, we’re drawn to whatever is in focus — it tells our eyes where to look, similar to how we are drawn to light. For example, if you want me to look at a photo where the product is out of focus, and the person holding it is in perfect focus, my eye is going to focus on the person first then look at whatever it is they are holding.
Attention spans are so much shorter nowadays, so it’s important that your photo draws your viewer’s attention to where you want it to go right away.
Gabriella Hunt, Professional Photographer & Content Marketing Manager
Edit the photos to match your needs
One of the benefits of using free photo resources is that you can use an image editor and tweak a picture to suit your needs. You might crop it, adjust the colors, or apply filters to match your brand’s aesthetic.
Just keep in mind that some licenses restrict modifications. Here’s another reminder to check the license terms of your chosen stock photography.
When to use free stock images and when not to
Free stock images offer an easy and cost-effective way to incorporate pictures into your social media strategy. They allow you to incorporate visual interest and variety on a budget. That doesn’t mean they’re the answer to all your social image needs.
Use stock photos to:
- Convey themes or moods
- Add visual appeal to a text post
- Tease possibilities or future developments
- Illustrate informative content
- Incorporate seasonality or holiday images
On the other hand, avoid using what you find through free photo resources if you have concerns about any of the following free photo resources:
- Implicit authorship. Viewers expect different levels of authenticity depending on the content. For instance, as a restaurant owner, posting a generic stock photo of a dish can be misleading. Besides, compelling, authentic images of your actual creations are at the heart of restaurant photography.
- Inconsistency in style or quality. Free stock photos come from different sources. Consistency is crucial for a professional and cohesive social media presence. As an interior designer showcasing a minimalist aesthetic, using a stock photo with a contrasting, ornate style can disrupt your feed’s visual harmony.
- Overuse. Free stock images are widely accessible, so you might come across the same image used repeatedly. Try to avoid pictures that look exactly like those posted by your competitors or that you’ve seen from various industries.
- Outdated content. Stock photos are usually created to be evergreen, meaning they don’t reflect current events. People trying to highlight recent trends might prefer to steer clear.
- Impersonal feel. Different posts serve different objectives. If you want to humanize your brand or personally connect with your followers, a stock photo won’t have the same power as a real photo from your life or business.
- Legal issues. If you’re ever in doubt about your rights to an image, go with something else.
Even those who use stock photography should learn how to create visual content of their own. Your smartphone is a powerful tool. Don’t be afraid to work with it.
Use free photo resources to enhance your visual content strategy
While there are cases where you should avoid free photo resources, they are exceptional tools to make your life easier and your content better. Incorporate them as you build a content strategy for your brand.
The first step is even fun. Think about the types of images that would benefit you before checking out the websites listed above. Input your key term into the search bar, and filter for free content.
Then browse to your heart’s content. After all, how often do you get to scroll through pretty pictures and call it work?

DENMARK: ‘After many years of planning and preparation, we can now start the practical work of getting the trains of the future to Denmark’, said DSB CEO Flemming Jensen when the national passenger operator signed a major framework contract with Alstom for the supply of electric multiple-units on June 17.
The deal includes a €1·4bn firm order for an initial 100 Coradia Stream EMUs and 15 years of maintenance. Options allowing DSB to order additional trainsets and extend the maintenance agreement up to 40 years could take the total value of the order to €2·6bn, with DSB expecting to procure around 150 trains in total.
Deliveries are scheduled to begin in the last quarter of 2024, with the EMUs being introduced on services from København to Frederikshavn and Rødby.
DSB said it looked forward to retiring its ageing diesel-powered trains within a few years. ‘Greener and more sustainable public transport is not a distant vision of the future’, said Jensen. ‘It is a reality that will be rolled out concretely in the coming years and which starts with today’s signing of the contract.’
The process of placing DSB’s largest ever rolling stock order began in 2014 as part of its Future Train rolling stock renewal strategy.
DSB sought a proven product from an experienced supplier, having learned lessons from its unhappy experience with the AnsaldoBreda IC2 DMUs which have already been withdrawn and the ICE4 DMUs which will be withdrawn as soon as the Alstom fleets enter service.
Alstom was named preferred bidder on April 12, and the contract signing followed an unsuccessful challenge by Stadler.
Modern, premium quality and stylish
The 200 km/h five-car units are to be manufactured at Alstom’s Salzgitter plant in Germany, and will have a capacity of 300 passengers. They will be fitted with the manufacturer’s Atlas ETCS onboard equipment using the Baseline 3 standards and an STM to interface with Denmark’s legacy signalling system.
‘Coradia Stream will deliver an exceptional travel experience’, said Rob Whyte, Managing Director of Alstom Nordics. ‘This modern, premium quality and stylish electric train combines innovation, sustainability and high comfort.’
Almost 400 Coradia Stream trainsets have been ordered by customers in Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Whyte said the latest order ‘further cements Alstom’s position as the reliable, world-leading train manufacturer of choice’, while its long-term maintenance agreements around Europe mean it can offer a ‘robust’ support network to ensure reliability.

Mission: MISSION! is a city streets exploration and photography game in the southern Mission mural alleys of San Francisco. The Mission District has become trendy with many hip bars, restaurants, stores, and walking tours of the area. Yet there are so many things that already exist there, particularly in the less popular areas of this district. This is a self and group led exploration to stop and admire the beautiful art in the alleys and on the walls of the area. Not everyone wants to take a long walking tour so this experience encourages you to create your own memories of the cultural experience instead of trying to remember somebody else’s stories. Photos and interaction with the murals can create a longer lasting and fonder memory than a series of lectures. Bring a camera or camera phone and get ready to become a living mural.
Each player receives a game postcard, colored wristband, and a sticker sheet with instructions on the back. The cards are rainbow to represent San Francisco as a backdrop to the spelling of the word MISSION for the district containing all the beautiful murals. It looks similar to a xylophone and contains seven letters and colors like both a musical scale and a rainbow. The rainbow also makes the seven letters of MISSION easier to distinguish from afar to spot players with the colored wristband you need. The kit is clipped together with a colored paper clip placed on the letter of your stickers. In the case of the same letter, this paper clip and the color help you differentiate which letter in the word you are.
Players earn and trade letter stickers of common mural themes as they join up to recreate the striking imagery on the walls. To earn a sticker players find a mural representing the themed sticker they want. Then they get a picture taken of them acting like a mural element or interacting with something in the mural. Each sticker goes on your postcard, helps complete the word MISSION, and contains a common theme found in the murals.
Take seven mural theme photos to spell out “MISSION” on the card to accomplish the mission. Players bring home personalized memories and a sticker covered souvenir postcard from the experience.
Mission: MISSION! originally debuted at the Come Out and Play SF 2013 Festival and was played a second time a few weeks later in a different alley. In future iterations, the wristbands will be marked with the player’s letter highlighted within the sequence of the word MISSION so that this communication to other players is less color dependent. I would also like to experiment with removing the icon at the bottom of each letter and letting players draw their own picture of what that theme looks like or means.
Mission: MISSION! is inspired by a project done in 2006 that similarly encouraged location specific player communication, interaction, and photo collection without a specific city and district. Photo Op originated with designing a game to be played in two different cities. The result ended up being a game to be played in one city with other players that could be anywhere in the world.
Photo Op is a bingo experience that involved players acting out several character roles in specific locations. Each player had three costumes to represent three characters that they had to keep hidden from public view. They had to secretly ask other players if they had characters they needed by asking in a roundabout way that did not use any direct reference to their character or costume. Each bingo square had two characters and a location that needed to be in a photo for the spot to be filled. The resulting photos were uploaded to an online photo stream so players at home could also play bingo. Look at the photo gallery from our various prototype tests here.

A former children’s home owned by Cheshire East Council, which had fallen into dereliction, was acquired by Thorngrove after an open market tender process.
Numerous issues beset this problem site, all of which needed to be surmounted before the contractor could commence works. Planning was protracted due to neighbour interference on design and boundary issues, but a planning permission was obtained for construction of three new 5-bedroomed build houses and the conversion of a derelict former Victorian 3,500sq.ft. manor house. Local company, Pochin Construction, were awarded the contract which was completed on time, on budget and to an exacting standard.
The development was designed to create a select community feel, with electric gates leading to an estate road off which the four houses were situated. Each house was individually considered by an interior designer with the specification and appearance being unsurpassed by the competition.

Morning world, sorry for such a late blog - I never blog on a Tuesday. My excuses are plentiful so hear me out, please. Last week I clocked up an impressive 65 hours on my rewrite of ‘Her’ in preparation for RNA submission. I have never completed such a tally in my life – though to be fair, I’ve never been granted that amount of time in one week. I was joyous and elated about my efforts. The state of play is that ‘Her’ now has 80 chapters containing 100,000 words – which I’m currently proofreading for the final time before printing and posting. It has been a gigantic task to get to this stage but I’m nearly there and will continue to plod.
I missed one group meeting due to an untimely call of duty regards collecting husband from work, but I did manage to attend my Grace Dieu Writers’ Circle – which I chaired for the evening. We had a fair mix of members and the poetry and prose were as distinct in style. One member read two critiques which she’d received each relating to the same piece. They couldn’t have contrasted more – which led to a discussion regards the services and agencies available to writers. We agreed that with so many critique services whose opinion can you trust? I personally abide to the rule of ‘write the book I wish to read, to the best of my ability’ – it doesn’t suit all people but I certainly don’t wish to experience what one member had. She received a critique which clearly outlined the faults with her novel, the member did a complete re-write based on their suggestions, six months later sent it back to the same critique, only to have them suggest that the plot didn’t work and suggest her original format/ideas back to her!!! I ask you, who can keep the faith with an experience like that?
Friday, I received a rejection letter from a children’s publish in relation to my poem ‘Poodle in a puddle’ – I shall now seek another publisher.
Friday, and here’s the reason I’m so late bogging – me and hubby went to
for the Olympics!!! Yay, I know, it was fabulous! We took the train on Friday morning and stayed till Sunday evening in the capital soaking up the atmosphere and attending the Football final, London Brazil v , at Wembley. I was very impressed. We certainly got it right on so many levels. I was a little sad to think it has now finished - but hey, I have the ParaOlympics to look forward too. Mexico
This week I finished reading book one of ‘The Hunger Games’ by Collins – it has taken me longer than I’d wished but I’ve enjoyed the story. My next book, which hubby is currently reading, is going to be Dan Brown’s ‘The Lost Symbol’. I know many criticize his work but I love the pace of his books. I’ve been intrigued watching husband jump up from reading, dash to the internet check a detail and then return to his seat. So, I can’t wait to get my paws on it. I keep asking him what page he’s on? That’s how impatient I am.
So, short and sweet, but that is a true account of my week – Olympics and ‘Her’. This week I am catching up with an old writing friend on Wednesday – but the rest of my week I shall be working and tweeting my progress. Saturday, I have a RNA Chapter meeting in
which I’m looking forward to meeting up with local RNA members. Birmingham
Remember you can follow me on Twitter @odwyer_author to receive random updates throughout the week. Enjoy!

The number of protests that took place since the new government came into power shows that our nascent democracy is maturing slowly.
However, the fact that it is still common for the police to refuse citizens permit to hold demonstrations is a cause for concern.
Mostly, the police use the Public Order Act to deny would-be protesters the required permit and as a result, sometimes, some citizens take the law into their own hands and go out and march in defiance of the police.
The Public Order Act is one piece of legislation which was hotly contested even during the regime of Yahya Jammeh with some arguing that it was a colonial law used to suppress the people and called for it to be repealed.
However, the government of The Gambia says that it is used to keep the peace and ensure that there is law and order and that no one individual or group will disturb the peace.
The latest incident of young protesters in Brikama being arrested has again ignited the debate about this Act.
Will the government now seek measures to repeal it or find ways to strengthen it?

Tarjameh CEO Mahmoud Al Abed said: “The company is keen on employing state-of-the-art technologies and software solutions to ensure time-efficient, high-quality and smooth services for our customers.”
In order to preserve the contextually and consistency of the translated texts, Tarjameh employs Translation Memory software in all its projects, which empowers its translators, spread in over 32 countries, to be consistent with their word choice.

PHOENIXVILLE – Typically, when one thinks of the Battle of Gettysburg, names like Joshua L. Chamberlain, John Buford and John B. Hood come to mind.
The gallantry they showed in that southern Pennsylvania town made a name for them for the ages.
But when those men left the field where the Civil War hung in the balance of the first three days of July 1863, they left behind the thousands of wounded and dying soldiers who helped cement their legacy.
That’s when individuals whose names never made the history books stepped in.
Rebecca ‘Beckie’ (Pennypacker) Price, a young woman who lived in the heart of Phoenixville, was one of those individuals who donated months of her time in hellish conditions to ease the suffering of the men left behind.
Her story is available through the Historical Society of the Phoenixville Area. Among their collection is a copy of a letter Price sent to her son in 1894 after he urged her to commit her memories of the war to paper.
Price was a member of Phoenixville’s ‘Union Relief Society,’ where she served first as president, then secretary. The society consisted of more than a hundred volunteers, mostly women, who formed to administer to the wounded and sick, largely through the donation of supplies.
As Price put it, when the town’s enlisted men left, ‘our work had only begun.’
During the first years of the war, Price not only helped raise supplies and funds for the troops but also personally escorted much of it to field hospitals near the front, such as the one at Wind Mill Point near Washington, D.C.
In her initial trip out of Phoenixville, supported by her husband, Edwin, a shop owner, Price took roughly a ton and a half of supplies from Phoenixville and Trappe south. Accompanied by a ‘Miss Mattie Jones’ and armed with a pass from Governor Andrew Curtin, which she obtained through the intercession of Phoenix Iron Company owner David Reeves, Price had to fight almost every step of the way to get her supplies on the rails.
When she successfully headed south, Price personally passed out the supplies, which consisted of things ranging from oranges to bandages. She also helped attend to the soldiers, including a corporal from Reading, Mass. who credited her with saving his life.
‘Duty called us to the sick, yet my thoughts would occasionally wander to that heart-broken mother and the thousands more who were mourning loved ones,’ Price wrote.
The historical society’s Susan Marshall said that before and during the Civil; War, nursing wasn’t considered to be very appropriate for women.
‘Nursing was not a career,’ Marshall said. ‘They started getting a bad reputation. Families did not want them to go.’
The fact that Price went with her husband’s blessing, and also got glowing local newspaper coverage for it, was part of a country-wide social movement which normalized nursing and made it an acceptable career, according to Marshall.
In the aftermath of the Battle of Gettysburg, duty again called to Price and several other women from Phoenixville.
Price accompanied Joseph McAfee, a Sabbath school superintendent, to Philadelphia shortly after the battle’s conclusion. McAfee was headed there to obtain a commission as a delegate for the Christian Commission to head to Gettysburg to help out.
While at the headquarters for the Christian Commission, Price mentioned that she wished she could go to Gettysburg, even though women were not being sent.
As luck would have it, someone remembered her previous work in the field hospitals for Union Army of the Potomac and made sure she could go along with another Phoenixville woman, a ‘Mrs. Joshua Spear,’ whose first name was never mentioned.
With another ton of supplies from Phoenixville, Price arrived in Gettysburg by way of Baltimore in July not long after the battle.
‘The stench was sickening,’ Price wrote. ‘The dead were not all off the field and then so many wounded.’
After staying a night with a private family in town, Price said she jumped on an ambulance headed for the 11th Corps’ field hospital, which was consolidated at the George Spangler Farm behind Cemetery Ridge according to Greg Coco’s ‘A Strange and Blighted Land.’
A driver on the ambulance told her there were ‘no ladies there and you are needed.’
More than 1,400 men were treated at the hospital which was the place where famed Confederate Brigadier General Lewis Armistead died following Pickett’s Charge.
Today, a monument to the efforts of those working in field hospitals exists outside the preserved buildings.
When Price arrived at the hospital, she met up with surgeons she’d known from her previous service, then immediately began passing out supplies and cooking food.
Among the things Price handed out while going from tent to tent were pillows and quilts, which she learned were necessary and desired during her first trip.
‘Can I forget the glad smile, the look of surprise, comfort and joy which spoke more eloquently than words?’ Price wrote. ‘I felt that I was receiving a hearty welcome. I was a substitute for mother, wife and sister and in their eyes no stranger but a friend.’
When she came upon him, Price said Heeney was resting his head on a rolled-up army jacket which she replaced with a pillow she brought. Following that, Price took special attention to the young man, helping him write letters home among other things.
‘How glad Mother will be to know I am so tenderly cared for,’ he told her, Price wrote.
On July 22, Heeney’s leg was amputated. Price walked with him to the table where the surgeon waited, holding an umbrella to shield him from the sun.
Heeney died two days later. His last words were, according to Price, ‘Mother, home, Heaven!’
Struck by the bravery shown by her charges, Price wrote there were ‘no complaints, no murmuring, all bearing sufferings heroically.’
In addition to the Federal soldiers she attended to, Price said captured Confederate wounded were also mixed in.
‘Those who wore the gray were cared for with our own boys in blue as they lay side by side in the same tents,’ she wrote.
Everyone received the same care, Price said, ‘except it might be to give (the Confederates) the smallest oranges or apples.’
All the same, when the Confederates were well enough to leave for P.O.W. camps they all asked for her to come over to say goodbye.
Eventually, a surgeon asked Price to take the worst cases, laying in a barn, under her ‘special care.’
‘It was an unpleasant duty, one from which, for a moment, I instinctively shrank,’ she wrote. ‘Just outside the barn was the amputating table and I thought, ‘How can I pass it?”
Nonetheless, Price was able to muster the strength to attend to those within the barn.
She recounted one soldier who asked for the attendants to send for his father. The dying man wished to tell his father something, something he refused to tell anyone else. Eventually, the young soldier gave up, saying, ‘Father is not coming.’
‘As I witnessed his death and closed his eyes, I felt that I could have made any sacrifice to have relieved his mind so that he could pass away peacefully,’ Price wrote.
Because those in the barn were such bad cases, Price was able to really get to know the men there, which their families appreciated.
‘We were not only comforting the suffering in camp but the aching hearts at home,’ she said.
Price said she was often one of the last to see many of the wounded alive.
‘Frequently at night I would hear someone scratching on the tent (where I slept)… ‘Sister, Mr. (blank) is dying and wants you,” Price wrote. ‘So I would go to talk, read and sing to them and perhaps ere I left close their eyes in death. How thankful I was that I could point them to a loving Savior.’
When a Lt. Wheeler took a turn for the worse, even with his family present, he reportedly sent for Price.
‘Oh! Sister, I could not go without thanking you and saying farewell,’ he told her. She then sang ‘Rock of Ages,’ his favorite hymn, as he ‘passed away with a smile on his face.’
Although Price clearly was glad she could attend to the dying soldiers, it took a toll on her.
‘Many times at night I lay on my stretcher weeping instead of sleeping,’ she said.
Eventually, the last of the wounded were shipped from the field hospital to more permanent establishments. According to Coco’s book, the last patient left the Spangler Farm in ‘early August’ of 1863.
Price, Mrs. Spear and Miss Jones, who later joined the two there, received high praise for their work, as did her mother, Elizabeth B. Pennypacker, and her aunt, Hettie Buckwalter, who served in the hospital at Chambersburg for weeks following the battle.
‘Each deputation witnessed enough to make angels weep,’ a Methodist pastor wrote of Price and the other women in the paper at the time, going on to say that they were ‘the first on the ground, so far as the 11th Corps Hospital is concerned.’
In addition to the nursing efforts of those women, a Mrs. Ashenfelter and Mrs. Levi B. (White) Haler also brought extra supplies from Phoenixville during Price’s service in the field hospital.
At the war’s end in spring 1865, Price met up with a company of troops from Phoenixville in Philadelphia and rode home on the rails with them to Columbia Station, which now houses Robert Ryan’s catering business.
‘When we arrived in Phoenixville, the excitement was beyond description,’ Price said. ‘There was a vast sea of humanity to gaze upon, a band playing, flags waving, arches of bunting across the streets, wreaths of flowers everywhere, women and children crying for joy, others for sorrow for all who went were not there.’
The soldiers marched up the street ‘amidst deafening cheers, then dispersed to their homes, glad that for them the cruel war was over,’ Price wrote before wondering, ‘Was it? Certainly the effects will be felt so long as a crippled or disabled soldier lives. My heart did not enter into the rejoicing so much as it went out in sympathy for those whose dear ones had not returned.’
Just like many soldiers returning from the fighting, Price clearly was haunted by the war.
Even in her 1894 letter, she told her son the thought of the blood-soaked, stinking field hospital still upset her.
‘Even now, after more than a quarter of a century has passed, it makes me heartsick to think of it,’ she said.


The Thousand Talents Plan (TTP), once a high-profile Chinese government project to attract overseas talent, is now on total radio silence. Ever since the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) started to pursue the scholars involved in TTP, Chinese authorities have mentioned little of the project in public. It is now even difficult to search relevant information on the Internet.
It was rumored that, as early as late September 2018, the Chinese authorities had ordered the official media to suspend the coverage of TTP. A document circulated on the Internet; the “Thousand Talents Plan Youth Project Review Working Group” authored it. It was affixed with the seal of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, which clearly ordained that “the wording of ‘Thousand Talents Plan’ should not appear in written notifications.”
China’s effort to keep a lid on the project is believed to be a response to the FBI’s probe into the TTP scholars that started in September 2018. The Thousand Talents Plan is a short name for “China’s Overseas High-Level Talent Recruitment Program.” In December 2008, the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) decided to implement the program. In January 2009, the Talent Work Coordination Group, a task force underneath the CCP’s Central Organization Department, formulated the “Opinions on the Implementation of the Overseas High-level Talent Recruitment Program.” Over the next ten years, about 8,000 overseas experts were hired with high pay, most of them ethnic Chinese.
Searching the characters “千人計畫” (Chinese characters for TTP) on Baidu, China’s largest search engine, turns out very few results. If the search is done using simplified Chinese character, nothing can be found. The keyword is unsearchable on China’s social platforms such as Weibo. It is rumored that, since April this year, China’s cyber police has been filtering the keyword for TTP. However, searching with characters “中國海外高層次人才引進計畫” (Chinese characters for “China’s Overseas High-Level Talent Recruit Program”) will give some information. Sometimes one has to combine different words so as to find piecemeal data.

Why You Hesitate To Speak Up In Meetings [The Huffington Post]
The gray matter in a specific brain region could predict how likely you are to go along with the crowd, according to a study in the journal Current Biology. Researchers conducted a brain measurement on 28 study participants that notes the volume of gray matter in specific brain regions. Participants then rated songs by how much they liked them, and the same songs were also rated by music critics. Researchers found that the people who changed how they rated the songs after hearing the professional opinions had a higher volume of gray matter in a brain region called the lateral orbitofrontal cortex.

Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Secretary Anurag Thakur on Wednesday accused Congress-NCP government for the shortage of water in the state of Maharashtra.
Questioning the irrigation scam that allegedly involved financial irregularities of Rs35000 crore, Thakur said, "During Congress-NCP regime, irrigation scam that involved several crores took place. These problems are because of that scam."
"If you are talking about shifting IPL matches, I just want to clarify that BCCI is not using any kind of potable or drinking water and it wouldn't in future as well. BCCI has given in written in the court that it will use sewage treated water," he further added.
