Mubychem Group, established in 1976, is the pioneer manufacturer of Chlorides including Ammonium Chloride and various other chemicals in India. Mubychem Group has manufacturing facilities spread across Gujarat and Maharashtra (Western India).
Ammonium Chloride is manufactured by the reaction of Ammonia with Hydrochloric Acid. The reaction is highly exothermic and it is prone to explosion. To control heat the reaction is done in a very large volume of liquor.
NH3 + HCl → NH4Cl and a lot of Heat.
The material so produced is very high quality and the first crop is surpassing all the standards. The standards are actually based on making Ammonium Chloride from the bye-product solution of Soda Ash plant.
Apart from the high grade Ammonium Chloride that we make by the reaction of Ammonia with Hydrochloric Acid, we also make Ammonium Chloride purified by sublimation.
Ammonium Chloride Bars or Bricks of 500gm each & 100gm Tablet.
We also offer Ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) Bars or Bricks & Tablets also Sal Ammoniac, Salmiac, Salmiak, Nushadir Salt, Navsagar, Zalmiak, Sal Armagnac, Sal Armoniac, Salmiakki, Salamaka, Salmiak and Salt Armoniack

In nature, the substance occurs in volcanic regions, forming on volcanic rocks near fume-releasing vents. The crystals deposit directly from the gaseous state, and tend to be short-lived, as NH4Cl (also Sal Ammoniac, Salmiac, Salmiak, Nushadir Salt, Navsagar, Navsar, Nausagar, Nausar, Zalmiak, Sal Armagnac, Sal Armoniac, Salmiakki, Salamaka, Salmiak and Salt Armoniack) is, in its pure form, a clear white water-soluble crystalline salt of ammonia. The aqueous ammonium chloride solution is mildly acidic. Sal ammoniac is a name of natural, mineralogical form of Ammonium chloride.
It is also available as a bye-product of Soda Ash Plant and some other chemical processes.
It is also found in volcanoes and deep underground.
It sublimes readily but this process involves dissociation into ammonia and hydrochloric acid followed by reforming of the compound.
NH4Cl → NH3 + HCl
Zinc ammonium chloride is commonly known as flux, and is used for galvanizing steel. It is 60% ammonium chloride and 40% zinc chloride in it.

For formatted, searchable PDF file, press here: Life Insurance Trusts.wpd
Life insurance trusts have long assumed a position of importance in estate planning, especially for larger estates, since insurance proceeds may be excluded from the settlor’s gross estate, thereby reducing or eliminating estate taxes. These tax savings may be achieved if the trust is drafted to authorize (but not require) the trustee to purchase assets from, or loan money to, the estate.
The life insurance trust is especially attractive for a married couple whose estate will exceed the couple’s combined exemption equivalent. Substantial tax savings can be achieved since the trust may reduce the portion of the combined estate that exceeds the combined exemption equivalent. Trustee and legal fees associated with creating and maintaining a life insurance trust, though not insignificant, may be modest in comparison to the tax benefits reaped by the estate.
Life insurance trusts also provide creditor protection, as they enable the grantor to decide at what age beneficiaries will be suitably mature to receive trust distributions. To maximize creditor protection, the trustee should be accorded substantial discretion with respect to trust distributions of income and principal. This can be accomplished by using a “sprinkling” trust. Substantially more creditor protection will also be achieved if a trust contains more than one beneficiary, since a court is far less likely to utilize trust funds to satisfy a judgment if the rights of a nondebtor beneficiary would be affected.
Funding the trust is facilitated by use of “Crummey” powers, through which gifts to the trust qualify for the annual exclusion, at least to the extent that the beneficiary has a right to withdraw annually the greater of $5,000 or 5% of trust assets. Maximizing the amount which can be contributed while utilizing the full annual exclusion may require the use of “hanging” powers or alternatively, may require that the trust be “funded,” i.e., contain substantial assets, so that the 5% limitation, rather than the $5,000 limitation, comes into play.
The insured settlor should not be chosen as trustee, since trust assets would be drawn into the settlor’s estate under IRC § 2042 — precisely the result intended to be avoided. Choosing the settlor’s spouse as trustee is acceptable, provided the spouse is not granted any powers which would result in the spouse holding a general power of appointment. The choice of an independent corporate trustee (to exercise powers which the spouse could not for tax reasons) in addition to the spouse may be advisable.
If an existing policy is transferred to a new trust, the insured must survive for three years to reap estate tax benefits. If a new policy is purchased, the three-year rule of IRC § 2035 can be avoided if the trustee purchases the policy. To ameliorate the result dictated by the three-year rule, the trust could direct that if the insured dies within three years, the proceeds would be paid to the insured’s estate. While this would negate provisions benefiting children, it would allow the Will (if so drafted) to claim a marital deduction which would result in preventing estate tax at the insured’s death.
If insurance proceeds are to bear the burden of estate taxes, the trust should authorize the trustee to purchase assets from, or make commercially reasonable loans to, the estate. Alternatively, the proceeds might simply be distributable to beneficiaries who would ultimately bear the burden of estate taxes, as determined by the tax apportionment clause in the insured’s Will. The Will and trust must be carefully coordinated to accomplish this objective. It cannot be overemphasized that inconsistent language in the two instruments could result in harsh or unintended estate tax consequences.

THE SENATE could not have chosen a more appropriate title for last week's committee hearing on the nation's troubled postal system: "Laying Out the Reality of the United States Postal Service." Witness after expert witness explained just how desperate that reality is. In the age of email and text messaging, first-class mail, the Postal Service's most profitable product, is in terminal decline: down 35 percent over the past decade, according to Megan J. Brennan, the postmaster general. Package delivery, though growing, is less profitable per piece and not nearly enough to offset the death of first-class. The result, according to James E. Millstein, a former Obama administration Treasury Department official who helped government-led restructurings of AIG and Ally Financial: If the Postal Service were a private company, "it would undoubtedly be viewed as insolvent."
An earlier version of this editorial incorrectly reported that Congress was no longer considering a proposal to require labor arbitrators to factor in the U.S. Postal Service’s financial condition when deciding on new pay and benefits. A bill sponsored by Sen. Thomas R. Carper (D-Del.) says arbitrators “shall consider such relevant factors as the financial condition,” among others. This version has been corrected.
Grim as these financial facts were, the most depressing reality to come out of the hearing was a political one: Fundamental postal reform is moribund.
Yes, "stakeholders" represented at the hearing — postal unions, USPS management, paper producers, mailers — testified in favor of a bill that would accomplish two important objectives. It would modify the current onerous annual requirement to pre-fund several billion dollars' worth of postal retiree health benefits and shift Postal Service retirees from a separate plan onto Medicare, which they already support with payroll taxes. And it would extend a two-year-old 4.3 percent "exigent" postal rate increase that's set to expire in April. Letting it lapse would cost the USPS $2 billion per year.
But this measure represents the political lowest common denominator, the bare minimum to keep the Postal Service afloat — and not the structural changes needed to ensure long-term viability. Gone are previously contemplated reforms such as right-sizing the Postal Service's network of distribution centers. Reformers have capitulated on five-day delivery for letters, even though two-thirds of the public would be willing to sacrifice Saturday mail, according to a 2015 survey by the Program for Public Consultation at the University of Maryland's School of Public Policy. No one is even talking about the obsolete regulatory structure that ties down the USPS like Gulliver among the Lilliputians. Instead, "reform" has been defined down to include such cash-generating gimmicks as shipping beer and wine through the mail.
Behind this failure of democratic governance are the aforementioned "stakeholders" — or, to be more precise, the deference they get from Congress, which responds to their lobbying on behalf of various parts of the existing system that advantage them rather than to the public's interest in a modernized, financially sound USPS. "As much as we try to have an elevated conversation about the future of the organization," 40-year Postal Service veteran Patrick R. Donahoe said upon his retirement as postmaster general a year ago, "we never get beyond the narrow set of interests that are determined to preserve the status quo." If the United States' once-proud postal system does someday succumb, those words could serve as its epitaph.

SCHOOL COUNCIL PAGE
Welcome to the Catton Grove 21/22 School council page. We have just chosen our class councillors, and are looking forward to our first School council face to face meeting.
Our first project has been set by the Head teacher
Autumn Term School Council Theme.....
How does the school already help us keep our minds and bodies healthy? Are there any other ways, the school could support children to keep healthy minds and healthy bodies at breaktimes or around the environment (eg we have outdoor gym equipment at the bottom of the playground, maybe a weekly challenge (easy, moderate, hard) could be set around that circuit for a month? Doing a survey or two to capture pupil voice eg What do kids do at breaktime? How do kids get to school? These surveys would be really interesting to remind us of the profile of our community but also then to see if our provision is adequate and interesting enough? Would it result in the need for more bike racks to encourage more biking to school etc. Is the playground layout matching what the children do or would want to do? eg. Would we want to turn the top playground into a seating playground or zone out areas? Do the children need to be taught a new game each week that could be delivered via video as a 5 min clip…Game of the week?
Our new Senior councillors
Voting took place on Oct 18th to choose our Chairperson, Secretary and Treasurer for our School Council.
Elizabeth Keeble was voted in as Chairperson.
Iaia Djalo was voted Treasurer .
Maisie Garrett was voted in as Secretary.
March school council meeting
Our new school council project is based around saving energy and lowering the electricity bill for our school. We have asked the class councils to discuss where we use the most energy in school and how can we all help lower that usage. We are looking into arranging an elec free day in classes ,cutting back on lights around the school and finding the cheapest time to recharge our technology items. We will meet again after Easter to talk about our class council meetings.

Holywell Town 5 (McGilloway 3, Littler 20, 41 & 70, Jones 50)
Conwy Borough 2 (Robinson 10, Alvarado 29)
Cymru Alliance – December 19, 2015
Connor Littler was a hat-trick hero as Holywell romped to a convincing victory over Conwy at Halkyn Road this weekend five years ago.
The game started brilliantly for the Wellmen with young Brady McGilloway scoring his first goal for the club, slotting past Louie Mackin after being put through.
The celebrations were short-lived as on 10 minutes, Conwy equalised through Luke Robinson.
This goal gave the visitors the confidence to look for another and they put pressure on the Town back-line, but the hosts coped well and, after riding the storm, the Wellmen then took the lead again.
A great ball up to Phil Lloyd saw him run into the box and cross into the centre. Littler was there to head goalwards but the keeper pulled off a great save which saw the ball fall to Tony Roebuck. His shot was thwarted too, but the ball came to Littler, who tapped home.
Yet again, Conwy responded as Andreas Alvarado equalised on 29 minutes, shooting into the net via a ricochet off keeper Mike Platt’s leg.
With a couple of minutes left of the first half, Holywell edged back in front. Picking the ball up, Littler unleashed a great shot from fully 30 yards which flew into the top corner with Mackin well beaten.
The second half started with Town putting pressure on Conwy’s goal, and Littler rose well to head a Steve Thomas corner but his goalbound effort was blocked on the line by a defender.
A few minutes later, however, Johnny Haseldin’s side increased their lead.
The Wellmen won a corner and the ball was played in towards the far post where Tom McElmeel headed back across goal and Jonathon Jones was there to nod home via a Conwy defender.
Lloyd then broke through and his cross was only inches away from Littler before Conwy’s Andrew Brown’s free kick flew over Platt’s crossbar.
With 70 minutes on the clock, Littler grabbed his third goal of the afternoon. Running and seeing the keeper off his line, he lobbed the glovesman from over 25 yards to claim his first hat-trick for the club.
Substitute Graeme Williams was tripped in the box and the referee pointed to the spot. Up stepped Tom McElmeel but he watched in horror as his kick flew over Mackin’s bar.

Four to five hundred years ago Copernicus and Galileo ‘removed’ the Earth (and humanity) from the centre of the universe. In Western Philosophy this coincides with the ‘epistemological turn’ away from cosmology. Western civilization through the enlightenment and into the modern age has continued to place the human experience at the center of existence. Postmodernism, for example, has revelled in human subjectivity, almost to the point of denying all else.
From 11 June to 4 October 2015, Vienna will host its first interdisciplinary biennale: the Vienna Biennale 2015 will establish innovative creative alliances and combine contemporary fine art with design and architecture. Initiated by Christoph Thun-Hohenstein, Director of the MAK – Austrian Museum of Applied Arts / Contemporary Art, and realized in partnership with the University of Applied Arts Vienna, the Kunsthalle Wien, the Architekturzentrum Wien, and departure, the Creative Unit of the Vienna Business Agency, with support from the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology as a non-university research partner, the first Vienna Biennale is dedicated to the theme Ideas For Change.
Okwui Enwezor has explained All the World’s Futures as follows…
The Faena Prize for the Arts aims to foster artistic experimentation, to encourage crossover between expressions and disciplines, and to promote exploration of the infinite links between art, technology, and design. Project proposals should be submitted online here and will be accepted until January 30, 2015.
With the collapse of the international markets in 2008 and the subsequent bail-outs of financial institutions in many countries including Cyprus, came the unprecedented criticism of governmental collusion with financial imperialism. This criticism has most recently given us waves of protest and resistance worldwide, at a time when the deterritorialised flow of finance capital is melting down all that was once solid, into raw material for market speculation.
Our today’s modern cities are hybrid structures in which technology is invisibly interweaved in the perception layers of our everyday lives. With the curatorial theme of InVISIBLE and VISIBLE Cities we want to develop an awareness on the changes which are hardly visible to the eyes and are underlying our nowadays cities.
L’avenir (looking forward) examines the relationship of contemporary art practices to speculation, futurity and its history, as well as the currency of projecting into the future. The exhibition presents artists working in film, sculpture, photography, painting and installation who respond to current conditions by considering “what is to come.” It also includes artists who propose art practices that are socially responsive to challenges presented by possible futures, practices that are frequently situational, performative and temporal, as well as artists who address the vexed question of the current agency of art and whether it has the affective potential to influence the future.
Sharjah Biennial 12: The past, the present, the possible (SB12) will open on March 5, 2015 and will be on view through June 5, 2015. SB12 began to take shape in a private conversation between artist Danh Vo and curator Eungie Joo in early 2013. Together they discussed the relevance of contemporary art and the potential of artistic positions to imagine something beyond current states of social and political confinement-and the need for artists to play active roles in imagining the possible.
The Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space is the largest scenography event in the world that explores a wide range of scenographic practices – from stage design and costume design to lighting design, sound design and new scenographic practices such as site-specific, applied scenography, urban performance, costume as performance, and much more. The upcoming 13th edition of the Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space will be held in June 18-28, 2015.
Artists and Developers are now invited to submit their work for CURRENTS 2015.

Rinse the chicken and place in a large pot.
Add the celery, garlic, onion, 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules, salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, rosemary, thyme and 1/2 teaspoon sage; add 8 cups of water and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 3 to 4 hours adding water as necessary to keep chicken covered.
Remove the chicken and allow cooling enough so you can handle it.
Remove bones and skin and discard; break the meat apart into bite size pieces and set aside.
Place a sieve over a large bowl or measuring cup and pour the contents of the pot into the sieve. Push lightly on the vegetables to try and get as much of the juices as you can; discard the drained veggies and herbs.
Pour the strained broth back into the pot and add the grated carrots and chicken, keep to a low simmer.
Place a 4 sided grater in a large bowl and grate the potato with the fine grate side; this should have a consistency that resembles applesauce when you are done.
Stir in 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon sage; add the biscuit mix a bit at a time until you have dough that sticks together when you pick up a bit with a fork. (Depending on the type of potato you are using you might need a bit more or less of the biscuit mix)
Bring the pot of soup to a boil over medium-high heat.
Scoop up a bit of the dumpling mixture with a fork and drop it into the boiling soup, dipping the fork in to release the dough; repeat until all the dough is used.
Simmer for 5 minutes and ladle into bowls.

For booking and other inquiries about the The Anvil Orchestra, please email firstname.lastname@example.org.
Technical specs for their shows can be found here.
For media inquiries, please email email@example.com
NOTE: Metropolis and Man with the Movie Camera require a third member, percussionist Larry Dersch. All others require only the duo of Miller and Donahue.
METROPOLIS. 1927, Germany. Directed by Fritz Lang. (Trio)
This early Sci-Fi masterpiece is one of the most influential films ever made. You can clearly see its echoes in Blade Runner and many other films. This version is the 2010 version which includes 20 minutes of newly found footage added from South America. Adolph Hitler was so impressed by Metropolis that he asked Fritz Lang to work for his newly formed political party. Fritz Lang refused and fled to America. He continued making films in Hollywood. The film has, literally, a cast of thousands, and its epic nature is equaled by The Anvil Orchestra’s intensely rhythmic and atmospheric score.
THE GENERAL. 1926. Directed by and starring Buster Keaton.
Buster Keaton is a southerner who is in love with both his train (he is an engineer) and his gal. He foils a Union Army raid against his Confederate homeland in typical Keaton bumbling manner, but wit a brilliance that only he can conjure up. The General makes many lists as one of the greatest films of all time.
UNDERWORLD. 1927. Directed by Josef von Sternberg.
Underworld is the defining gangster film from the silent era. It has been quoted by many gangster films which followed in the talkies. The gangster leaders really are not good people, but honor and sympathy still abound in the film. The score is dramatic with a jazz/bluesy undercurrent, from shoot-outs to flowering romance.
THE HISTORY OF THE CIVIL WAR. 1921. Directed by Dziga Vertov
The Anvil Orchestra’s first new score is for this documentary of the Civil Wars that followed the Russian Revolution. It was only shown once – in 1921. 100 years later, it was shown again at IDFA in Amsterdam with The Anvil Orchestra. I “A Musical Triumph!” (Nikolai Izvolov, archivist, Nov. 2021). “”An excellent live score by The Anvil Orchestra, alternately martial and mournful…” (Business Docs live review, Nov. 2021).
THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI. 1920. Directed by Robert Wien.
The classic German Expressionist horror film, newly scored by The Anvil Orchestra. If there ever was a film for halloween (or any time one wants to leave the rational world far, far behind), this is it. The Anvil Orchestra’s score is atmospheric layered with a creepy other-worldly feel that matches the extreme visuals.
MAN WITH THE MOVIE CAMERA. 1929, Russia. Directed by Dziga Vertov. (Trio)
This uber-classic of Russian avant-garde film-making helped define the edges of film for years to come. “A day in the life of Russian cities,” this film has no linear plot other than the unfolding of the day. But nonetheless is extremely watchable and entertaining. By the end, the energy virtually explodes, along with the audience’s expectations. An amazing film by every measurement. It was voted “the Best Documentary of all time” by the British Film Instituted in 2019.
BLACKMAIL. 1929. Directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
Alfred Hitchcock’s last silent film. The sound version of Alfred Hitchcock’s Blackmail has been widely shown; far more rare is this simultaneously-shot (and subtly different) silent version, which may well be Hitch’s greatest achievement of the silent era. The gripping story of a young British woman and her detective boyfriend begins conventionally, but quickly spirals into an unpredictable tale of terror and suspense.
THE ADVENTURES OF PRINCE ACHMED 1926. Animation.. Directed by Lotte Reiniger.
The story is based on elements from the One Thousand and One Nights. The film features a silhouette animation technique Reiniger invented which involved manipulated cutouts made from cardboard and thin sheets of lead under a camera. This technique is similar to Javanese shadow puppets, but the film is her own. This is the oldest surviving animated film.
A PAGE OF MADNESS. 1926. Japanese.
One of the rare Japaneses silents to survive WWII, this film is unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Set in an insane asylum, it’s often hard to tell if the viewer is seeing through the inmates’ or the caretakers’ eyes. It is a visual treat matched only by the group’s willingness to follow the film where-ever it leads.
The PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. 1925. Starring Lon Chaney. Directed by Rupert Julian
The original Phantom of the Opera, with Lon Chaney’s “master of a thousand faces” in full force. Horror and confusing plot lines were never so well intertwined. Despite the obvious warp in the Phantom’s personality, by the end of the film Chaney’s pathos elicits true sympathy.
THE BLACK PIRATE. 1926. Starring Douglas Fairbanks.
An over-the-top swashbuckler for all age groups! Douglas Fairbanks is the Black Pirate, and no one does it better. The underwater assault on the pirate ship remains one of the most amazing and absurd sequences from the silent era.
THE LOST WORLD. 1925. Directed by Harry O. Hoyt.
This primordial dinosaur epic is based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s story. Our British scientists argue and bicker, then boat across the Atlantic to an obscure plateau in Brazil where dinosaurs, volcanos and primitive humanoids harass them endlessly! The film has more than one relationship to KING KONG – in fact the same Stegosaurus model was used in both films. It is a rousing adventure where time has stood still.
A Page of Madness. 1926. Japanese. Teinosuke Kinugasa.
One of the rare Japanese silents to survive WWII, this film is unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Set in an insane asylum, it’s often hard to tell if the viewer is seeing through the inmates’ or the caretakers’ eyes. It is a visual treat matched only by Alloy’s willingness to follow the film where-ever it leads.
STRIKE! Sergi Eisenstein. 1925, Russian.
STRIKE! depicts a strike in 1903 by the workers of a factory in pre-revolutionary Russia and their subsequent suppression. It is extremely dramatic, starring clumps of humanity rather than individuals. It is a true masterpiece, Mr. Eisenstein’s inspiration and skills created new film techniques that are still in use today. This is the Alloy score that got them listed in Entertainment Weekly as one of the “100 Most Creative Artists” in 1999.
VARIETE. 1925 German. Directed by E. A Dupont. Starring Emile Jannings and Lya De Putti.
A tale of love, deception, revenge and redemption, often on a trapeze in the circus. Variete has long been considered to be a masterpiece of German cinema, and the superb recent restoration brings its stunning cinematography to life. The love that the Anvil Orchestra has for playing circus films is apparent.
This romantic comedy was shot largely in a long-gone Coney Island. The film is 98% silent: since talkies were just entering the scene, there are three sort dialog sections, touchingly innocent about how the new world of sound fits in with film.
THE GOLEM: HOW HE CAME INTO THE WORLD (Der Golem). 1920. Directed by Paul Wegener (who also stars as The Golem)
This film is based on Meyrink’s 1915 novel about a Jewish magician who brings to life the Golem to save his community from persecution by the Emperor. The Golem is created from clay and magic spells and, as one might expect, things do not always go as planned! “Der Golem” is an early German Expressionist film and as such is both a feast for the eyes and a convincing horror film.

Now and then: The evolution of keyword research for content marketers since 2011
When we first opened for business in Australia in early 2011 keywords played a very different role in content creation and promotion than they do today.
The evolution of keywords might feel like a nerdy topic that your SEO agency should be worrying about, but in reality keywords are still an important consideration for content marketers.
Even if you’ve diversified beyond organic search and use other channels to promote your content, such as paid social, email and sponsored posts, Google is still likely to be providing a big chunk of your traffic. On average it’s around 65 per cent.
So, if keywords still matter, what’s changed since 2011?
The days of keyword and landing page tables
In the early days of content marketing, when nobody in this part of the world even called it content marketing (see the Google Trends graph below for “content marketing” in Australia since 2004), search was the only show in town for most of our clients. The idea of having their own blog or news section supported by new landing pages was a bit of a novelty. Something that seemed worth a share of the SEO budget if it helped win more traffic.
With search the sole consideration when building the content strategy and showing return on investment to clients, mapping keyword groups to landing pages was an essential part of the set-up process. We would then divvy up the available articles each month between the keyword groups and use an auto-linking tool to point the keywords through to the relevant landing page.
In an era when most websites in this market weren’t growing significantly month-to-month this was a reliable way to get a kick in search traffic. Keyword data was a lot easier to get hold of, so a lot of the conversations we were having with clients was about the movement of particular keywords.
Nowadays, it’s more difficult to see which individual keywords have sent you a visitor. Google Analytics suppresses most of this information and while there are plenty of third party tools that have stepped in to breach, keywords – at least the priority, short-tail keywords – have become less relevant.
Personalisation, localisation and the growing importance of mobile in determining search results means where your site ranks can vary significantly depending on who’s running the search, where they are and what device they’re using. At the same time, keyword diversity has increased dramatically, with the average length of search terms expanding and more and more activity moving to the long-tail. Around 15 per cent of the 3.5 billion queries Google handles every day are unique, first-time searches. And Google clearly expects this to be a growth area, having deployed RankBrain, which uses artificial intelligence to handle search queries, at this potentially tricky segment.
The Hummingbird effect
Perhaps the most significant change Google has made when it comes to keywords was the launch of its Hummingbird algorithm in 2013. Hummingbird and the rhetoric that surrounded its launch prompted a change in how content marketers used keywords.
Post-Hummingbird, Google said it would be interrogating the meaning behind search queries in an effort to serve up better results for users. This would weaken the link between the words in a query and the words on a page. Google also said it would be using all the words a user typed in or spoke into their phone to help work out what they were after.
Partly because of voice search and also a growing faith in what search engines were capable of, users were phrasing more searches as questions. Content marketers jumped on the opportunity to create lots and lots of question-and-answer style content, particularly on their blogs, in the hope that Hummingbird would swoop in and send them loads of additional traffic.
While that tactic was no guarantee of success the wider point about content that provides more specific, in-depth information about a given topic had important implications for the role keyword research plays in building content strategies.
Now, rather than creating lots of content containing a small number of priority, short-tail keywords, content marketers use keywords to set the broader direction for their content. The particular topics they choose and phrases they link are more natural. You can see from this second Google Trends graph that while content marketing has been on the rise, interest in keyword tools – once a core requirement of any self-respecting content marketer – has been heading steadily in the opposite direction.
When quantity came first
Content marketing has always required a bit of a balancing act when it comes to quantity and quality. With limitless resources you could produce as much content as you wanted and spend as much time as you wanted tweaking and improving it.
In reality, your content marketing ambitions will always be limited by budget, resources and practical hurdles. And while you could always do more and do it better, there is no doubt the sweet spot has shifted towards doing more with less in the last 5 years.
Back in 2011, there was a real difference between writing for search and writing for humans. Decent but quite formulaic content created primarily for mentioning keywords would always move the search dial if it was done at scale. The value of each individual piece of content was very low, but combined with 40 or 50 more pieces of content every month the cumulative impact on organic search traffic was consistent and positive. Quantity was king.
But as content marketing has moved from the periphery of search to the centre-piece of overall marketing budgets every piece of content has to pass much closer scrutiny. At the same time, the void between the preferences of search engines and those of humans has narrowed considerably.
Of the 5 major Google updates tracked last year by MOZ, a well-regarded inbound marketing firm, 3 specifically targeted quality. Google has made it clear that it will continue to look for new signals that can help it measure the value of individual pages to users, meaning the correlation between quality and good search rankings will only get stronger.
These two trends have led to a noticeable shift in the strategies content marketers are adopting. Higher standards from brands and search engines have meant the high-volume tactics of yesteryear are much more difficult to realise and less likely to deliver results.
And with everyone doing content marketing it’s now much more important to do it well rather than to simply do it. Five years ago that would have been enough to give you the edge on the competition, but not today. Today standing out from the crowd and being heard above the noise is much more difficult.


Some people say if they use their cell phone while driving, they prop their knee on their steering wheel and use their leg to keep the car steady.
Kathy Simpson, a biomechanics professor at the University of Georgia says there are three big reasons why the steering wheel is designed for our hands and not our knees.
She says the first explanation is leverage. "If we have two hands on the wheel," explains Simpson, "we only need half as much force by each hand, and we need twice as much here because we only have one knee, one source of force to make this steering wheel turn."
She says because our fingers can actually grasp the wheel, that creates more friction, keeping the wheel from sliding out of our hands. Simpson says a driver will have to push up twice as hard on the wheel to have the same effect.
"And a lot of times," she says, "we might be wearing pants or a dress or something with slippery material. So it's very hard to create enough force upwards, and if I don't, I have to really push a lot harder."
Which slides into Simpson's third point. She says, even though the muscles in our legs are much stronger than those in our hands and wrists, driving takes more precision than strength.
"We have a lot more sensation in our finger tips. We have the ability to make fine, precise movements because these muscles are smaller, and because your leg is so much more massive than your wrists and your arms, it takes a lot more effort for this knee to be able to start pushing quickly enough too. It's going to take a while to get the knee to push against the steering wheel, and that may be too late."
Simpson says she can boil it all down to one simple equation; she says driving without your hands on the wheel can result in an increased risk for a car accident, especially if the driver is using a cell phone or other distracting device.

BATU BATU, meaning "rocks" in the local malay language, is a rustic private island resort set amongst coconut groves, rocky outcrops and fine sand beaches on the tropical, uninhabited island of Pulau Tengah, Malaysia in the South China Sea. This simple resort is built from a variety of hard woods in the style of a Malay “kampung” or village. The resort’s buildings were constructed by local carpenters using traditional techniques in the Malay vernacular style. BATU BATU consists of 20 one-bedroom and 2 two-bedroom villas set into the island’s wild and natural environment.
BATU BATU welcomes families with children. Whilst on Pulau Tengah, adults and children alike can enjoy the island’s eight white sandy beaches, snorkel or dive amongst its colourful coral reefs and kayak or walk around its 3km perimeter. The open-sided pavilion restaurant and bar has 270-degree views across the sea and serves delicious European and Asian dishes. Guests can choose to relax with a cold drink at the Beach Bar, soak in the sea, play on the large white sand beaches or embark on an adventure through the island’s dense forest.
BATU BATU is committed to the preservation, proliferation and protection of the flora and fauna in and around Tengah Island. We aim to tread lightly, source sustainably, behave responsibly and support local business wherever possible. To this end Batu Batu has set-up and run several conservation initiatives including our island-based Turtle Watch Camp.
Pulau Tengah or Tengah Island lies nine nautical miles or 15 kilometres off the east coast of peninsula Malaysia in the South China Sea. The island is accessible by Batu Batu’s private speedboat from the coastal town of Mersing, approximately 130km by road from Singapore.
The journey time from Mersing to Pulau Tengah by speedboat is 20-30 minutes in good weather. We have one or two scheduled return speed boat journeys each day (dependent on occupancy and tides). Additional chartered boat transfers can be scheduled at an additional cost. Please see BOOK for information on scheduled and chartered boat transfer prices.
We can provide contacts for several taxi companies that run private taxi transfer services between Singapore / Kuala Lumpur and Mersing. From drop-off at the jetty in Mersing, you can then catch Batu Batu’s private speed boat to the island.
If you prefer to self-drive, there are several secure car parks in Mersing close to the boat jetty. Please view our FAQs for more information on getting to us. If you need further information or have any specific questions not covered, please contact us directly.
Pulau Tengah, meaning “middle island” in the local Malay language, is set in the protected Johor Marine Park off the east coast of Mersing, Johor, Malaysia— approximately 130km north of Singapore.
The uninhabited island boasts eight pristine powder white sand beaches, translucent waters and coral reefs just off shore as well as coconut groves and tropical forest at its interior.
Pulau Tengah has a rich and varied history. From 1975 to 1981, the island was home to over 100,000 Vietnamese “Boat People” when it was a United Nation’s Refugee Counsel Transit Camp for refuguees waiting to start their new lives in Europe, Australia and North America.
From 1998 to 2010, Pulau Tengah was used to film Expedition Robinson, a highly popular Swedish reality TV show which was the predecessor to the island castaway series Survivor. In 2012, Pulau Tengah and a handful of other islands in the Seribuat archipelago were used to film the French Survivor Series “Koh Lanta” and the Dutch, Belgian and Finnish Survivor series “Expedition Robinson”.
Batu Batu & The Environment
As the only development on Pulau Tengah, Batu Batu is responsible for and committed to preserving and enhancing the island’s natural habitat and its surroundings.
Pulau Tengah’s natural environment is extremely rich and we have recorded sightings of over 100 species of bird, 312 species of flora, Pacific Bottle-Nose Dolphins, Black-Tipped Reef Sharks, Green and Hawksbill Turtles, otters and Dugongs or sea cows. Green and Hawksbill turtles land on our beaches to lay their eggs.
The resort privately funds conservation projects to learn more about and then protect and enhance our island’s amazing natural environment. In late 2013, a visiting tropical botanist from Belgium conducted a six-week long botanical study of the island’s flora in conjunction with the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM) and has provided us with a comprehensive database of all the island’s flora and a comprehensive herbarium. Dr. Bruno Senterre’s consultancy report identified endangered or rare species on the island and it is now Batu Batu’s responsibility to monitor and maintain these going forward.
In 2014, our two dive instructors Adam and Carmen set-up Turtle Watch Camp at Batu Batu (TWC) run by marine biologists and staffed by paying volunteers to study, monitor and protect the critically endangered and endangered Hawksbill and Green Turtles found in our waters. This project has gone from strength to strength with over 6,000 hatchilngs successfully released from our TWC hatchery since inception. The project enjoys the support of Johor Marine Parks and Malaysia’s Department of Fisheries. Our team at TWC have also initiated a coral regeneration project using recycled glass bottles from the resort’s operation and are looking to focus research and monitoring effots on the health and variety of our surrounding coral reefs and marine life.
Whilst sustainable practices are not always easy to adopt as a new resort on a tiny, uninhabited island, within a culture where sustainability is often viewed as foreign and inefficient, Batu Batu is taking little steps towards being increasingly responsible in order to protect our amazing natural environment. As each day passes, we look to add more and more to this list.
These little steps include:
- Treating and recycling waste water – a specially designed and built sewage system where all sewage and grey water are treated and recycled for use as water for irrigation.
- Use of LED lighting throughout the majority of the resort to reduce energy use.
- Solar water heaters on all of our villas.
- Extensive use of FSC-certified recycled teak furniture throughout the resort.
- Salt water chlorination system in our (fresh water) swimming pool.
- Malin + Goetz toiletries provided in-room – paraben-free with a focus on using natural products and re-using and re-filling larger bottles to reduce plastic waste.
- Use of re-fillable glass bottles in villas for guests’ drinking water to reduce plastic waste.
- Initiation of a recycling programme for waste which is work-in-progress and consistently proves to be a challenge.
Sourcing from the local town of Mersing where possible and supporting this small but growing local economy.
Funding of research and studies of the island such as Dr. Bruno Senterre’s flora stucy in collaboration with the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia and ornithological studies conducted during our opening years.

Ahoy there mateys! “Can’t Wait Wednesday” is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine. Each Wednesday ye get to highlight a book that ye be really looking forward to. I don’t normally do memes here on me log, but I received this fantasy eARC excerpt from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I loved it and am now looking forward to readin’ the full version when it be published. The stats:
the ruin of kings (Jenn Lyons)
Title: the ruin of kings
Author: Jenn Lyons
Publication Date: currently set for February 5, 2019 (hardback/ebook)
Well mateys. This certainly is an awesome start. The excerpt let me read Part I – chapters 1 to 23. This be the story of Kihrin. It begins with him in a prison cell talking to a demon named Talon. How fun is that? The chapters alternate between Kihrin’s versions of events and Talon’s additions. There are also fun footnotes in both.
In Kihrin’s chapters it talks about what happened to him after being purchased in a slave auction. In Talon’s chapters it goes back even further than that to when Kihrin’s is a 15 year-old and participates in a heist gone wrong. There was a little settling in for both sections because of the jumps in time. I couldn’t decide which sections I liked better. Both have awesome magic, fun characters, snarky Kihrin, and lots of politics, intrigue, and action. While I do love both sections, I hope at some point the story does go to one narrative for better ease of readin’. But I certainly do want to know what happens next. Arrr!
So lastly . . .
Thank you Macmillian-Tor/Forge!
Goodreads’ website has this to say about the novel:
There are the old stories. And then there’s what actually happens.
Kihrin is a bastard orphan who grew upon storybook tales of long-lost princes and grand quests. When he is claimed against his will as the long-lost son of a treasonous prince, Kihrin finds that being a long-lost prince isn’t what the storybooks promised.
Far from living the dream, Kihrin finds himself practically a prisoner, at the mercy of his new family’s power plays and ambitions. He also discovers that the storybooks have lied about a lot of other things things, too: dragons, demons, gods, prophecies, true love, and how the hero always wins.
Then again, maybe he’s not the hero, for Kihrin isn’t destined to save the empire.
He’s destined to destroy it . . .

Cybersecurity researchers from Binarly Research discovered many vulnerabilities of high danger in the Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset.
Disadvantages were found in UEFI firmware and affect laptops and ARM devices using Qualcomm Snapdragon chips. Qualcomm revealed vulnerabilities on January 5 and released corrections for them .
Errors also affected the Lenovo ThinkPad X13S laptop BIOS. The company released the BIOS update to eliminate the shortcomings . However, 2 vulnerabilities have not yet been eliminated.
According to the founder and general director of Binarly, Alexei Matrosov, with the help of these errors, an attacker can gain control over the system, changing the variable in a power -dependent memory, in which the data is constantly stored, even when the system is turned off.
The changed variable compromises the phase of the safe loading of the system, and the cybercupress can get constant access to the system after the exploit is installed. In other words, an attacker can execute a malicious code or gain access to system resources at any time, even when the system is turned off.
According to Binarly, Windows Dev Kit 2023 from Microsoft (Project Volterra) is also subject to vulnerability. Project Volterra is designed for developers who write and test the code for Windows 11.
The detection of vulnerabilities in the ARM boot layer is particularly alarming, since the architecture controls the mobile ecosystem with low energy consumption, which includes 5G smartphones and basic stations. Basic stations are increasingly becoming a communications center for border devices and cloud infrastructures. Attackers can behave as operators, and they will have constant access to systems at the base stations, and no one will know about it.


In 1686, the area now known as Bryant Park was designated public property by New York Colonial Governor Thomas Dongan. After being routed by the British in the Battle of Long Island, at the start of the Revolutionary War, General Washington’s troops raced across the site. In 1807, the grid system of streets was laid out in what is now considered midtown, expanding north from the already cosmopolitan downtown Manhattan. Fifteen years later, in 1822, the land came under the jurisdiction of New York City, and one year later, was turned into a potter’s field. The city decommissioned the potter’s field in 1840, in preparation for construction of the Croton Reservoir on the adjacent plot of land (now the Central branch of the New York Public Library).

Beautiful and Intriguing -- Spoilers
As with so many other movies, I watched this because there was nothing else on. After the first 10-15 minutes, I fell victim to incredible storytelling and an absolutely amazing performance by Emma Thompson. I laughed at her wit. I cried at her trials. I felt her fear.
I've never gone through the ordeal of cancer, and I pray that I never will. But this movie made it seem so real. Many movies about cancer victims in the past have been feel-good movies. It mysteriously goes into remission and they live a long healthy life. This movie is harsh, cold, and unrelenting. You watch her pain, her fear, her realization of her own mortality. You see her regret that she was never "nice." You see her change. In the period of about 10 seconds, she becomes beautiful on the inside.
I highly recommend this movie. Prepare to realize your fears and your mortality. This beautiful movie is worth every tear.
I went out to rent a "horror flick," and since Mothman Prophecies wasn't in, I rented Strangeland. I think that decision will haunt me for the rest of my life. Ovaltine commercials are better! Someone here mentioned that this movie "sucked harder than a Swedish pornstar." I couldn't have said it better myself.
The plot is clear as glass. So clear you can see right through it. Someone here called it "unpredictable." I HAVE to disagree with that one. If you're braindead--or perhaps deaf and blind--you may find this movie unpredictable. The acting is terrible. As I mentioned, Ovaltine commercials have better acting.
Bottom line is this: If you're looking to waste 90 minutes of your life, rent this flick. If you've seen Silence of the Lambs, Hellraiser, a Twisted Sister video, and an Ovaltine commercial, just imagine how terrible they would be if you put them all together. Put ALL THOSE together, and you have Strangeland.
I thought this movie was great. Nice coming of age flick with a bit of a twist. We're used to watching the typical male/female relationship grow. This time, we're watching a circle of gay men grow. It's really good. I agree with other commenters that the scene with Andrew Keegan and the birthday cake is the best. 9/10
I was channel surfing earlier because it's hard to find quality entertainment at 2 am. I ran onto this, and decided it was the only thing I was going to find.
I was absolutely blown away.
I was glued to the TV for the entire duration (of the unrated version). At first, I thought, "Oh great. Another movie filled with gratuitious sex." If you stick with it, it's much more than that. It's emotion, passion, fear, suspense, and real life all rolled into one. I got very attached to the characters and began to respect their cause. By the end, I had forgotten it was based on a true story. It really brings the story to life when you realize that. You're thinking "this could never happen in the 'real' world." Then you get the stark reminder that yes, it can... And it has. And it will again.
Incredible movie. Incredible acting. 10/10 most definitely.
I watched Manhunter last night expecting to see something based on the Thomas Harris novel. What I found was a movie loosely based on some of the events in the Thomas Harris novel. If they had changed the names, they probably wouldn't have even had to get permission from the author to do the screenplay.
Perhaps it's the lack of the divine Sir Anthony. Perhaps it's that DeLaurentis was just having a bad few months while directing it... Perhaps it was the bad acting. I can't put my finger on ONE thing that made me think it was terrible, but I can say that it isn't worthy of bearing Thomas Harris's name. The book was beautifully written. It was suspensful, yet slow-moving. He let the suspense build on itself, and to do this in a screenplay, the movie would be hours longer. I was very disappointed with the lack of flashbacks. In the book, Dolarhyde spends much of his time remembering the time he spent with his grandmother. That was an integral part of the story line. Also, Dolarhyde lived in his grandmothers old house in the book. In Manhunter, it's a very art-deco new looking thing.
As I said, if they had only changed the names in the screenplay, perhaps they could have gotten away with a movie that was based on nothing but imagination.... But as a portrayal of Red Dragon, it doesn't stand a fighting chance. I give it no stars. Perhaps even negative stars.

The sentencing hearing for a Juneau man convicted of causing the death of a friend out Glacier Highway has been rescheduled for the end of the month.
Ryan West’s sentencing had been scheduled for last Monday. But Superior Court Judge Louis Menendez was unsure about handing down a sentence based on a statute that he felt required more research.
Judge Menendez called for a delay as he researched how an earlier suspended-imposition-of-sentence would affect the presumptive range for the latest charges against West.
He explained his opinion during a short, eight-minute hearing on Friday.
For the purpose of this case and these facts, Mr. West’s convictions in the earlier case 09-170 shall count as one prior felony. That would mean, in fact, that he’d be subject to the presumptive term of 4- to 7-years in terms of incarceration. And also, he’d be subject to an adjustment of that term based on the establishment of aggravators and mitigators.”
Both the prosecution and defense last Monday argued for the single conviction interpretation instead of the two conviction alternative that would’ve mandated a presumptive range of a 6- to 10-year sentence.
In that instance, public defender David Seid had suggested earlier that West would be forced to withdraw his guilty plea because of a potential “manifest injustice.”
As part of an agreement with prosecutors, West entered a guilty plea to a reduced charge of criminally negligent homicide. He was initially charged with second degree murder for the death of his friend Gabriel Carte nearly two years ago.
April 30th’s sentencing hearing at 2 p.m. is expected to last 2 1/2 hours.
- Roughly 16,000 pounds of chum spilled onto Egan Drive Monday afternoon. Declared unsafe for consumption, the fish have been destroyed.
- Juneau residents met Sunday to discuss race relations and ways to prevent racial violence.
- The state's Palmer Correctional Facility is slated to close. It's a money-saving measure called for by Gov. Bill Walker.
- Metlakatla Democratic National Convention delegate Gavin Hudson campaigned for Bernie Sanders. But he's in Hillary Clinton's camp now.

I visit Blythewood often because its in the middle of where I live in Charleston, SC and where my family lives in NC. I usually stay at the Comfort Inn down the road but after staying here at the Holiday Inn Express, (HIE) will definitely be getting all of my business from now on. The staff is excellent and the place is spotless! Nice, comfortable rooms, with a nice, comfy bed.

I drove from Florida to NJ with my daughter and 3 grandchildren. This was the 1/2 way mark. We got connecting rooms, and the staff could not have been more helpful. A highlight was the healthy breakfast option. All three children need gluten free products. Beth who helped us at breakfast was wonderful. The gluten free bagels were a huge hit. The hotel was a comfortable oasis in the middle of a long tiring journey. My husband and I always stay at this hotel when we go back and forth to Florida and we have always been very pleased with the service and accomodations.

Bad experience checking in.Arrived app. 3:00 pm and no one was at the Front Desk. I looked around and saw a person in the Breakfast Area licking her fingers and motioning she would be over.Upon arrival I gave her my name and priority number and that I had a reservation and had stayed several times a year here. She looked on her computer and announced very loud "I did not have a reservation and must be mixed up!" I excused myself and went to my car for my computer, which I showed her my reservation confirmation EMail. She again very loudly, "There is a mistake somewhere and we don't have a room for you! With that I said you better check and make sure that a room might be empty. Sure enough, she said Room 101 was available. People like this you don't NEED! By the way, my bill was more than the confirmation amount. Had a Good nights sleep and a very nice breakfast the next morning. Oh - for dinner we ate at Lizards Thicket and very good. Amazing Menue!

The room and customer service at this property was excellent. Felisha made us feel welcomed from the moment we walked in the door to check in. The room we had was beautiful and large. However because of the construction I had a horrible night because of my allergies. I had to check out early and go to another Holiday Inn property.

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by RogerG55 Under Renovations
Stayed here last Saturday for one night. Started out with a twenty minute wait for the desk clerk to check in. The hotel was undergoing extensive renovations. Old vanities and tubs were laying all over the back grounds. Carpet, tile and other construction supplies were laying in various spots around the lobby. Not much seemed to work properly, the firepit on the patio was not working when we went outside, when we tried to get back in the hotel our keycards would not open the pool doors so we had to walk around the property to get back inside.
I think the hotel will look good if the renovations are ever finished but until then I think more info about the renovations should be given at the time of reservations.
Can't recommend this place at this time.

I do have a few nits to pick. I am a Platinum Elite member who visits many, many IHG hotels yearly and know what to expect during a stay. I frequent this hotel, because my daughter is a USC student. For the most part this hotel lives up to my expectations for an HI Express hotel, but a minor complaint is the bathroom amenities. They use cheapo soap bars of questionable origin which smell like a chemistry project gone bad. And don't use the "standard issue" shampoo either. I assume that this is an effort to save a few bucks, and it doesn't go unnoticed. Why don't you use your rates by $1 per night and use the standard issue HI Express supplies? Also I waited in the breakfast room from 7-7:30am, but the empty egg tray was never refilled.

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by Vermilion Renovations
Being a Platinum member I felt that the hotel or Holiday Inn Corporation should have let us know it was under renovation. Nobody at front desk when we entered the lobby we noticed other guests waiting for help also. Renovation items in front of entrance and dumpsters in full view. We asked if pool was open and they said it was not but we could sit outside. We were told we would have to walk around the outside of the building as the entrance to the pool area was in the breakfast room which was under renovation. We walked around the building to be greeted by numerous bathtubs and sinks laying all over the grounds. Breakfast was not up to par, no eggs, bacon, sausage, sausage gravy or biscuits. There was no juice we had to ask for it and the cinnamon buns were cold. We were informed that the remolding had been going on since Oct 2012 and will not be finished for at least another month. Unacceptable for Holiday Inn. Also no upgrade was offered at all and we are platinum members. We did not receive the service that is expected at a Holiday Inn but there was not reduction in price.

Staff was on edge due to remodel. Guest before us was quite nasty with the greeting staff as if it was their fault. Didnt get the usual Priority Club greeting or acknowledgment. Temporary breakfast room was cramped and offerings were spartan compared to other HIE's. Room was comfortable and clean, although worn. Guests above us were either lifting weights or wrestling late and then again early in the AM. Lots of door slamming and loud voices during the night, not the fault of the staff

Although renovations were taking place during our stay, the staff went out of their way to make us feel comfortable with staying there. The breakfast was good and the room and tables were very clean. I was impressed with the pancake machine. The only thing I didn't care for was the container for plastic ware. Customers grab them from the container, but typically touch more than one utensil. I prefer to receive my utensils either wrapped in plastic or from a Smart Utensil Dispenser where no one can touch my utensils but me. This is much more sanitary!

As a platinum Priority Club member I booked this hotel with their ap. It didn't say the hotel was under renovation. Or, that the work-out room was out of order. I didn't find that out until the next morning. The first room they put me in was next to the elevator. The second room didn't have a desk. The third room was finally ok. This was the worst Holiday Inn I have ever have stayed at.

The hotel was perfect! Being a priority rewards member we got a good deal on the room. The beds are comfy, the bathrooms up to date and clean. The location is easy to find and close to I-77 exits. The Mexican restaurant is in front of the hotel, walking distance, and THE best mexican food I've ever had. In front of that is Hardee's, but before you go there for breakfast you should try the free breakfast at the hotel. The first morning I had a cheese omelet, YUM, and bacon. They have scrambled eggs, sausage or bacon, and the cook was super nice too. Everyone seemed willing to help. Also, Blythewood is a great town, small and friendly, absolutely perfect for a girls' weekend getaway! I also have to recommend Chuggers for a great night of karaoke and dancing.

I've stayed at the Blythewood Holiday and it has been fine in the past, so I will give it a break this time. On the other hand, the construction had both emergency staircases a mess and potentially dangerous in the event of a true emergency. When I arrived at the hotel there was no one to be found to check me in. After waiting at least 5 minutes, I tried the house phone which rang for another 3-4 minutes. The attendant finally came around the corner with her cell phone to her ear. She said she was doing some type of rounds. This was at 9 PM.
On top of that, the room I was assigned already had someone in it and when I came back to the front desk to straighten it out, she was gone again for several minutes. Fortunately she upgraded me to a suite, but the damage was done.
I will give them another chance, but I'm going to let them get the construction done first.

Associated with pension transfer bets, the method is not certain. The first step in placing the double result wager is to figure out which outcomes are likely.

Due to the fact of this unpredictability, you have to be able to account for this factor whenever formulating your betting strategy. In this kind of example, the Portland Trailblazers led by simply 42 points from halftime, but sooner or later lost the overall game, 87-94. This scenario illustrates the volatility of basketball games and the importance of getting a strategy throughout place to acquire advantage of that.

The puck line wager is definitely more most likely to have the favorite winning by a minimum of two goals.
In a single recent sport between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the particular Heat, the Lightning led 2-1 at halftime and gone on to dominate the match. The particular Lightning/Thunder double outcome NHL hockey guess would have compensated off big!
