As the football season begins, the Danville Vikings’ reputation has taken full effect. It is important on both sides that the community shows its support.
The Vikings won their first four games, making them undefeated so far. This could be related to the senior class.
Jaquonte Sanford says, “This is the biggest senior class we’ve had. We have a better connection because we know each other; we grew up together.”
Most people may think that their support doesn’t matter, which is quite the opposite.
Mikah Anglin feels the team wouldn’t be as good if the town didn’t show its support.
Dominic Noel states, “The town plays a play big part for us. It’s always good knowing that your town has your back.”

2 Day Annual Review Meeting of All India Coordinated Project of Weed Management concludes at SKUAST-Jammu
JAMMU, MAY 28: The 2 day XXX Annual Review Meeting of AICRP Weed Management was organized at SKUAST-Jammu by ICAR-Directorate of Weed Research (DWR), Jabalpur in collaboration with SKUAST-Jammu at SKUAST-Jammu, main Campus, Chatha.
The concluding session of the Review Meeting was graced by Dr. R.K. Samnotra, Director Research, SKUAST-J as Chief Guest and Dr. J. S. Mishra, Director, Directorate of Weed Research, Jabalpur as Guest of Honour.
Eminent expert, Dr N N Angiras, Retd Professor, CSKHPKV, Palampur, Dr. R. P. Dubey, Incharge- AICRP, DWR, Jabalpur and Dr. B. R. Bazaya, organizing Secretary and PI, AICRP-WM, SKUAST-Jammu were present on the Dais during the session.
The meeting was attended by more than 75 weed scientists from all over the country. Dr. R.K. Samnotra, the Chief Guest called for framing a comprehensive weed policy for location specific weeds and their management suiting the needs of line departments and farmers of the region as well as at the national level.
“The weeds cause huge losses in crop yields and cause ill effects on human and animal health. This needs to be managed effectively to save the huge losses. Problems of herbicide resistance need to be addressed on priority nationally as new herbicide development is a lengthy process and takes at least a decade of research for development of new molecules,” he suggested. He further maintained that in view of labour shortage the new technologies like herbicide application through drones needs to be standardized and popularized. Location specific weed management strategies for fields, vegetable crops, and fruit crops need to be devised for different agro-ecosystems and must be popularized for the benefit of farmers.
Dr. J.S. Mishra, Director, DWR, Jabalpur and guest of honour of the occasion briefly highlighted that the weed seed museum will be established at ICAR-DWR, Jabalpur and he also requested to provide seed of different weed species from the respective weed management centers. He also emphasised on publishing in good impact Journals. He also said about the best centre award adding that there will be no best centre award given by the directorate from this year. Now the centres will be judged on the basis of performance. At the last, he congratulated all centers for the effort and work in weed management.
Eminent expert Dr. N. N. Angiras, Retd. Professor, CSKHPKV, Palampur highlighted the benefits of long-term experiment on weed management to estimate the herbicide residue in soil. He also emphasized the importance of weed survey and surveillance and suggested adding it in the technical programme of weed management. The impact assistance in terms of monetary returns of recommended weed management should be the part of the weed research programme, he added.
The meeting ended with a vote of thanks by Dr. B.R. Bazaya, PI, AICRP (WM), Chatha and organizing secretary of the meeting.

Culture & Travel1 August 2021
The Acropolis of Athens, which can be seen from almost anywhere in the city center, is in the center of modern Athens, as it was in its heyday about 1500 years ago. You should definitely go to the Acropolis for a great view from which you can look at the Parthenon, which is by far the biggest tourist attraction in the city, and all the other famous buildings. The Acropolis hosts a large number of tourists throughout the year. It is very difficult to find a place to stay in the Acropolis, especially during the holidays. Before visiting the Acropolis, one of the most important symbols of Athens, there are some things to keep in mind.
The early bird catches the worm: It is better to go a little earlier than the holiday period to have a pleasant time in the Acropolis and escape from the busy tourist crowd. It is also important to go early in the morning during the day to avoid the crowd.
Don't use the main entrance: The Acropolis has two entrances. The main park in Rovertou Galli is right next to the car park and is often used by tour groups. In the summer, one can wait there for more than an hour when the buses start to arrive. In order not to experience this intensity, it is useful to enter from the ticket office in Dionysiou Areopagitou, near the Acropolis Museum. Climbing to the top is quite similar in length and difficulty from both entrances.
Buy your Acropolis tickets in advance: You must buy your tickets early to visit the Acropolis. In particular, it is necessary to buy tickets before the crowd increases. If you just want to see the Acropolis, a single full-price ticket is €20 between April and October. It is also possible to pre-purchase them for a few extra euros.
Visit the Acropolis in winter: In winter, ticket prices are halved in all ancient cities. This is also true for the Acropolis. Winter months will be suitable for those who want to bring a trip to the Acropolis at a more affordable price.
Free entry to the Acropolis: There are days when the entrance to the Acropolis is free. You can take advantage of these days. March 6, April 18, May 18, and October 28 are the days when admission to the Acropolis is free. However, keep in mind that there is a huge crowd these days.
Watch the opening hours: The Acropolis has two different opening hours: one for the summer season, from the beginning of April to the end of October, and the other for the winter season, which covers the rest of the year. During the summer months, the Acropolis is open daily from 08:00 to 8:00 p.m. From November to March, the Acropolis is open from 08:30 in the morning until 5:00 p.m. The Acropolis is closed on public holidays. These dates should also be noted. January 1, March 25, May 1, Easter Sunday, December 25, and December 26 are the days when the Acropolis is closed.
Visit the Acropolis Museum: Do not forget to visit the museum during the Acropolis tour. You can experience the historical and cultural beauties closely by visiting the museum in the Acropolis, which fascinates with its unique view. It costs 10 Euros to visit the museum. This amount is worth it to spend a pleasant time at the Acropolis Museum. From time to time, various discounts are also offered at museum entrance prices.

LOS ANGELES - Erin Andrews is one of the most recognized and respected sports broadcasters in the industry — and now is an ambassador for Tubi, FOX’s completely free streaming service with over 30,000 movies and television series to choose from.
Andrews told FOX Television Stations, she is surprised how much the streaming platform is growing.

"I knew it was going to be a great idea when they presented it to me, but they’ve made huge, huge strides," Andrews said.
Tubi’s new programming in August
Some of those strides include the launch of "Shark Month: Bitfest" in August which will feature the largest streaming library of free shark films, including all four installments of JAWS. In addition, Tubi will feature nostalgic programming including "Dawson’s Creek" and "Friday Night Lights."
Andrews also hinted at more sports content popping up on the streaming platform in the near future.
"Tubi is going to be launching and getting involved with sports in August, and we’re going to have some more announcements on that coming up soon," she revealed.
Andrews reports for "America's Game of the Week", "Thursday Night Football" and "FOX NFL Sunday" — a show that records a staggering 56.4 million unique viewers. She will also cover the NFL "Hall of Fame Game" on August 5 on FOX.
Andrews on upcoming football season
The NFL season kicks off on Sept. 10 with a newly expanded season from 16 games to 17.
"I’m feeling excited. I’m excited for players to be out there," Andrews said of the upcoming season. "Remember, last year at this time they were all on Zoom meetings trying to get ready for the season. There was so much talk if they could pull it off. They did. Now it’s gonna be nice to be up close and personal with those guys."
Andrews on Matthew Stafford joining Rams
Aside from the season’s expansion, specific trades are also grabbing the attention of fans, including the trade of Matthew Stafford. The Detroit Lions traded the quarterback to the Los Angeles Rams this off-season after more than a decade in the Motor City.
Stafford faces the pressure of proving he was worth the lofty draft capital he fetched in his trade, which sent Jared Goff, the Rams’ 2021 third-round pick, 2022 first-round pick and 2023 first-round pick to the Lions.
Andrews said the family is "so excited" for this season with a new team.
"I think it was time for a new start for Matthew," Andrews said. "There’s a lot on the line, and he knows that."
This station is owned by FOX Corporation.

WEST BOYLSTON -- As correctional officers lead two reporters through a housing unit at the Worcester County House of Corrections, an inmate in his cell starts yelling. He thinks the reporters are state inspectors, and he wants his window opened.
During the winter, cell windows are screwed shut. The officers say a problem with the locking mechanism means without screws, the windows will open, and the jail will get too cold at night.
The housing unit is in one of several modular buildings opened in 1990 to house Worcester's then-overcrowded prison population. The buildings had a 10-year lifespan. They have been used for 25 years. The housing unit is one of the better constructed units - buildings that house classrooms and administration are in worse shape.
"They're in disrepair. There's nothing we can do to clean them up anymore," said jail superintendent David Tuttle.
The Department of Public Health's last audit of the Worcester jail facility, conducted in October, took 34 pages and identified 262 repeat violations. Some of these reflect daily maintenance challenges - dusty vents, peeling paint, inmates hanging towels over light fixtures. Others reflect systemic problems, many stemming from the continued use of outdated buildings.
State public health officials conduct semiannual audits of the county jails, which can turn up hundreds of health and safety violations. The Worcester County House of Corrections and Jail provides one example of the facility challenges facing Massachusetts' jails.
"We have problems," said Senate Majority Leader Harriette Chandler, D-Worcester, who has been trying to get more money for the Worcester jail. "The conditions at the Worcester County jail need to be dramatically improved."
The Worcester jail, which houses minimum and maximum security prisoners, was built in 1973, with an addition built in 1983 and the modular complex added in 1990. It houses around 1,100 men, including pre-trial and post-sentencing detainees, on a daily basis.
In the main jail complex, most public health violations reflect the age of the building and daily maintenance challenges.
The Department of Public Health notes that cells in some units are too small; they were built when standards were different. Violations include mold, soap scum and dirt in the showers, paint peeling in cells, damaged wall tiles, covered lighting and blocked vents.
The sheriff's office recently replaced almost all the showers, exchanging tile for a solid surface that is easier to clean. Tuttle said things like chipped paint, dirt and vent violations are fixed daily. The jail spends $35,000 a year on paint and $120,000 annually on cleaning supplies.
"We paint almost every day in here. It's a constant battle," Tuttle said.
Walking around the maximum-security housing unit he runs, Captain Brian Giles pulls towels off vents and lights. One cell's vent is stuffed with wadded toilet paper; others are blocked by clothing. Some cells have toothpaste on the light fixture. That is how inmates dim the lights or make their cells hotter or cooler. After they wash their clothes, inmates hang them in front of the vent to dry.
"We ask them to take it down, they take it down. You walk away, they put them right back up," Tuttle said.
In some of the concrete cells, floor paint is chipping. "We paint it, it peels," Giles said. "A guy stands there 24 hours a day."
Diane Cook, policy and program coordinator at the jail, said she checks every audit violation. "We address every single one in some way, shape, manner or form," Cook said.
For example, when a recent audit noted a lot of dusty vents, the sheriff's office bought a vent vacuum. "Now if someone identifies a dusty vent, then they call up the dusty vent guy, and he comes out and vacuums it for us," Cook said.
But one area where correctional officials can do little is in the modular units.
The contrast is obvious when it comes to education. Inmates attending classes in the main jail complex - for example, GED courses or classes on substance abuse - sit in classrooms that look like a school building. There are inspirational posters on the wall, individual desks, laptops and smart boards. Teachers have an office with cubicles, where they can leave books.
For the 625 inmates housed in modular units, three classrooms share one large space subdivided with partitions. Floor tiles are missing, revealing plywood floors. In some places, a metal grate covers the floor. The walls are rotting from the inside, and the ceiling is rusted. It was not designed for technology. The building was condemned, then part of it was "un-condemned" because there was nowhere to move the classrooms.
Other modular buildings are in equally poor shape. In an administration building, the floors bounce if someone jumps. Floor tiles are cracked, and ceilings are warped. A nurse's office door does not shut, because the building is sinking. A men's staff bathroom floor has a large spot of crumbling grout where tiles are missing. Concrete walkways outside the buildings are heaving, so gates barely open.
Metal fencing on recreational pens is rusting, and inmates have broken off pieces to make shanks. While the fencing is in the process of being replaced, dangerous spots are marked with orange paint, and correctional officers inspect them after every use.
"There's some areas where we stopped doing major maintenance or repairs, because it's a waste of money," Tuttle said. "We've made the conscious decision: Why keep investing taxpayers' money into a floor that can't be fixed when the building will be torn down in a couple of years?"
The state's Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance plans to build a new $20 million, 33,000-square-foot building and vehicle sally port with intake and medical facilities. It will include intake and medical housing, with cells that can be used as a regional lock-up on evenings and weekends, or for municipal police arrestees overnight. Construction is expected to begin in 2017 and be completed in early 2018.
Once that is built, jail officials want to renovate an existing warehouse to build classrooms. That project is still in the study phase. Those projects will let officials tear down the worst modular buildings. The sheriff's office also hopes to create a master facilities plan.
But Tuttle is frustrated that over the years the Worcester jail has not gotten as much funding as other sheriffs' departments, which has resulted in the decrepit buildings. "When we talk about funding for sheriffs' departments, there's no formula," Tuttle said. "There doesn't seem to be some sort of rationale why departments receive what they receive."
In the current fiscal year, the Legislature gave Worcester County Sheriff Lew Evangelidis a $46 million budget. Among other counties with similar numbers of inmates, only Bristol County's budget is similar. The Essex County sheriff gets $54 million; Middlesex County gets $68 million and Hampden County gets $80 million.
"They have new buildings and different things that they work with," Tuttle said. "We're trying to provide the same services for the people of Worcester County that other counties are. It frustrates us."
State Sen. Michael Moore, D-Millbury, chaired a commission that analyzed county sheriff operations. Asked what formula the Legislature uses to decide funding levels, Moore said, "There is no formula."
According to the commission's 2013 report, jail funding was historically an amalgam of state money, county money and a portion of revenue from deeds excise taxes. During the recession, the sheriffs faced major budget deficits. The Legislature frequently gives the sheriffs more money mid-year.
Since 2012, the sheriffs' funding has come solely from the state budget. But there remain disparities. The report notes that job titles and pay vary widely between counties.
Some of the funding disparity is a result of which sheriffs have the most political power. "You have to go down to Boston and fight, be a strong advocate for the budget," said Guy Glodis, a former Worcester county sheriff and state senator.
Moore said the last state budget directed state public safety officials and the sheriffs to develop a funding formula, which will be discussed as lawmakers write next year's budget.
"One thing I personally think has been very unfair is the fact that you'll have some facilities that will get accolades for programs they have to fight recidivism, yet look at the funding they get compared to other facilities, and there's no equity," Moore said.
Chandler said Worcester's funding has fallen behind year after year. And with constant state budget tightening, it is difficult for lawmakers to give more money to the jails. State leaders are currently involved in a criminal justice system review, which could save money in the long term by reducing recidivism.
"Tell the people who are education supporters you're going put more money into jails. Tell the people who have children who have developmental delays you're going put more money in jails," Chandler said. "There's only so much money in the pie."

|Type of rock||Metamorphic rock|
The Selkirk Mountains are a mountain range spanning the northern portion of the Idaho Panhandle, eastern Washington, and southeastern British Columbia. They begin at Mica Peak near Spokane and extend approximately 320 km north (200 miles) from the border to Kinbasket Lake, at the now-inundated location of the onetime fur company post Boat Encampment. The range is bounded on its west, northeast and at its northern extremity by the Columbia River, or the reservoir lakes now filling most of that river's course. From the Columbia's confluence with the Beaver River, they are bounded on their east by the Purcell Trench, which contains the Beaver River, Duncan River, Duncan Lake, Kootenay Lake and the Kootenay River. The Selkirks are distinct from, and geologically older than, the Rocky Mountains. Together with the neighboring Monashee and Purcell Mountains, and sometimes including the Cariboo Mountains to the northwest, the Selkirks are part of a larger grouping known as the Columbia Mountains. A scenic highway loop, the International Selkirk Loop, encircles the southern portions of the mountain range.
The Selkirks were named after Thomas Douglas, 5th Earl of Selkirk.
In 1857 gold was discovered in the Selkirks. Coal, copper, marble, mercury, silver, and zinc were also found in the mountains. During the development of Western Canada, the Selkirks presented a formidable barrier to the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway, until A.B. Rogers discovered the mountain pass that bears his name in 1881–1882. As a result of the railway's construction via that route, Mount Revelstoke and Glacier National Parks (Canada) in the heart of the Selkirks were among the first national parks created in Canada, along with Yoho, and Banff National Parks in the Rockies. Until the completion of the Trans-Canada Highway via the Rogers Pass, automotive traffic between most of British Columbia and the rest of Canada necessarily was forced to follow the path of the Columbia River via its Big Bend, around the north end of the Selkirks.
The southern end of these mountains is home to the only extant woodland caribou population in the contiguous United States. This area, some of it protected in Washington's Salmo-Priest Wilderness, is also home to mule deer and white-tailed deer, elk, black bears, cougars, bobcats, red fox, bald eagles, golden eagles, osprey, great blue heron, porcupine, badgers, coyote, martens, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, gray wolves and moose. Formerly rarely seen, grizzly bears are also known to roam through this region now in abundance.

Actress Alia Bhatt has recovered after testing positive for Kovid-19 earlier this month. On Wednesday, she took to Instagram to share a happy picture and let her fans know about her health.
The photo showed Alia smiling for the camera in a blue shirt and pink pajamas. A lot of greenery can be seen behind it. Just being negative is a good thing, she captioned her post. Alia’s fans were happy for her. Excellent, one wrote. Love you.
Sharing a note about her diagnosis on 2 April, Alia wrote, Hello everyone, I have tested positive for Kovid-19. I have immediately isolated myself and will be under domestic quarantine. I follow all security protocols under my advice. Doctors. Thankful for all your love and support. Please be safe and take care.
Prior to that, Alia’s boyfriend, actor Ranbir Kapoor, also tested positive for coronovirus. After he recovers, he is seen venturing out for work and meetings in Mumbai.
Talking about Alia’s health, her mother Soni Razdan told a leading daily, I am in touch with her, it is just that I try not to call her many times. In the last few days, I have called him in the morning to check. I don’t want to burden him with constant calls, because if I keep doing this, it will stress him. I sent him a message about what he should eat, which is simple and light food. Therefore, she is now doing layoffs as far as her food is concerned.
Sony also tweeted that because the actors’ work does not allow them to wear masks or other protective gear, they should be allowed to take vaccines early.
Alia was working on her films Gangubai Kathiawadi and SS Rajamouli’s RRR when she approached the virus.

Minister for Africa Rory Stewart visited Kenya from 27-28 November to attend the inauguration of President Uhuru Kenyatta. This was Mr Stewart’s first official visit to the country.
The Minister attended the inauguration ceremony and the official inauguration luncheon on 28 November.
In the afternoon, Mr Stewart met with President Kenyatta and passed on a message of congratulations from Prime Minister Theresa May, alongside an invitation to the Commonwealth Summit in London next year.
During productive discussions, President Kenyatta and Mr Stewart discussed the future of the wide-ranging partnership shared by the UK and Kenya. The Minister welcomed the President’s commitment to national unity, and made clear his hope that Kenya will now come together in the spirit of reconciliation, after a difficult election period.
Speaking at the end of the visit, Mr Stewart said:
I am pleased that I was able to visit Kenya and attend President Kenyatta’s inauguration. This marks the moment where Kenya can move forward after a prolonged, divisive election period in a new spirit of reconciliation. I hope that all Kenyans will recognise the need now for national dialogue and healing.
The UK has extensive and historic links with Kenya, through our business links, our development programmes, and our diasporas. This has been an opportunity to reaffirm our partnership and hear more about the ways that our two countries can work together.

Any home that is maintained well must include the upkeep of carpets, a critical component discussed in the video. Carpets are very good at collecting dust, dirt, allergens, and bacteria, which, at the end of the day, makes the indoor air quality worse. Keeping this fact in mind, here are some of the most important guidelines for quality carpet cleaning for every homeowner.
Carpet Care Tips
Certainly, the easiest and most efficient way of maintaining the cleanliness of carpets involves regular vacuuming. Vacuum at least once a week and more in high-traffic areas or homes with pets.
Vacuuming works to clear such dirt, dust, or debris off the carpet surface, thus preventing it from settling into the carpet fibers.
When it comes to little spills or stains, dabbing is the go-to. Immediately after the spill happens, use a dry cloth to blot out the area in order to soak up as much liquid as possible. Be careful that you don’t rub the stain, for if you do, it may increase in size as well. After that, spray the stain with a carpet cleaner or vinegar to water the mixture and then let it soak for a while before blotting it to remove the spot.
Carpets require special attention when it comes to thorough cleaning, and the choice of cleaning products plays an important role in that. Keep away from harsh chemicals that can damage the carpet fibers. Preferably, use mild and sustainable green cleaners that are safe for both the individuals and the ecosystem.
When to Hire a Professional
If the carpet is quite soiled and stained, a reliable, professional carpet cleaning service would really come in handy at this point. Experienced cleaning specialists are equipped with special machinery and cleaning products for the thorough cleaning of carpets and the removal of stubborn spots that may be impossible to get rid of without professional help. In addition, they allow for the extended lifespan of the carpets, which in turn saves the house owners money in the long run.

VERO BEACH, Fla. — To help reduce the spread of COVID-19, Indian River County commissioners voted Tuesday to extend the current mask ordinance for six months.
SPECIAL COVERAGE: Coronavirus
The measure passed by a vote of 4-1 and extended the mandate through July 13.
Chairman Joe Flescher was the only commissioner to vote against the extension.
"I'm not saying I don't support the mask-wearing. It's merely when we look at a mask mandate, we're talking about mandatory," Flescher said in a dissenting opinion.
Vice Chairman Peter O'Bryan, who supported the mandate, said he sees the mask ordinance similar to smoking indoors and drinking and driving, believing the mask prevents others' actions from causing harm to the public.
"If we really want to talk about the economy and keeping local business going, then all of you should be wearing a mask," O'Bryan said.
O'Bryan made the motion for the six-month extension of the existing mask rules.
The county had been approving two-month extensions since last summer.
The rules require employees of businesses that serve the public to wear masks. Anyone going to a county building or riding public transit also has to wear a face covering.
Commissioner Joe Earman said he supported O'Bryan's assessment and believed the current ordinance is a bit lax and could actually be stricter.
"We have an ordinance in our building, and many of you are sitting in this room without a mask," Earman said during the meeting.
The county has had 8,800 confirmed coronavirus cases and just under 200 deaths, with a recent positivity rate of just under nine percent.
Commissioner Susan Adams also supported extending the mandate for six months, saying the county has a responsibility to ensure employees are coming to a safe work environment.
Commissioner Laura Moss said she agreed to extend the ordinance but thought a six-month extension was too long and advised a four-month extension.
Several residents spoke out Tuesday against the extension.
"We have a county where there's no way to enforce anything. What they're doing here is forcing businesses to wear masks on their employees that they don't even require on the public," said Ruth Kuvlesky, head of the Indian River Freedom Coalition.
The commissioners decided that if the circumstances of the pandemic changed, they could call a meeting to rescind the mandate earlier.
The mask covering ordinance was due to expire after it was extended for 60 days in November.
Those who spoke out against extending the ordinance Tuesday said they return in July to voice their opposition.
Commissioners on Nov. 17 eliminated fines for people who do not comply with the ordinance, which existed in a previous version of the mandate.
Florida is not among the states with a mask mandate.

MSNBC has a article from a forward Army CASH (Combat Army Surgical Hospital). Medical coverage is always fairly bland, short on facts due to patient confidentiality concerns and the inevitable compromises that access to privileged information entails. Add to that the wartime inability to tell the ‘who, where, when’ and what you get is what’s left: emotion and generalities. But it’s still worth reading.
a Marine arrived, beyond help. Other marines are brought in. The word is they started out as victims of an accident and then were ambushed while in the ambulance on their way to the hospital.
But by the twisted logic of this war, the Marine?s Iraqi attackers are not far behind. From enemy to POWs to patients, Marines say 12 hours earlier these Iraqis were shooting at them.
?This is war,? says one medic. ?They come to the same place to be patched up. It?s kind of like a time out.?
It?s an old saying about war: Rule number one is people die. Rule number two is that doctors can?t change rule number one.

There’s a lot of value in making sure your blog posts, infographics, videos and other types of content are tied to your brand. This approach will ensure people know you are the one providing value so you can increase brand awareness and build a relationship with your market.
Branded content can also make it easier to reach other content marketing goals, like increasing traffic, attracting new customers, and creating a positive reputation. Branding your content doesn’t have to be hard or even take a lot of time. When you have a solid brand and a plan for including it in your content marketing plan, creating branded content will be easy.
1 – Add Branded Visual Style
You brand has a visual style that includes colours, design elements, fonts, layout styles and other things that tie your website, printed materials, social media images and other pieces together. Bring this style into your content, whether you publish it on your own site or not, to make it look branded and help your market associate it with your business.
2 – Stamp it with your Logo
One of the most obvious ways to brand your content is to add your logo to it. Of course, this isn’t always appropriate, but for things like infographics and videos, it can be a simple way to make it known that you are behind the content. If it doesn’t make sense to include your logo, consider adding your website’s URL to the bottom of the content.
3 – Design your own Images
The images you use in your content can also tie it back to your brand. You can use stock images or graphics you create yourself that are all similar in style. Or, you can go even further by adding a caption, title or phrase to your photos.
Use the same style, for example, a shadow box with a specific colour and font, each time you do this so people will instantly recognise the content as something that comes from your business.
4 – Use Links Throughout the Piece
Branding can be more subtle and still be effective. Brand your guest blog posts, online articles, social media posts, infographics, and other content with strategic links. The links can show people you are the author and they can help you strategically direct people to your website, blog, landing pages or social media accounts.
5 – Establish a Voice
Another subtle but powerful way to brand your content is to establish a voice. Whether casual, formal, funny, sarcastic, helpful, or friendly, your brand’s voice can help you tell your market who you are and help you establish a relationship with people. When you use the same voice throughout your content marketing plan, your audience will start to recognise your content and more fully understand who you are.
6 – Choose the Right Distribution Channel
Some brands leverage a specific channel, like their blog or a social media account, to get their market’s attention and establish an online presence. You can choose to focus on one or two channels and build them up as branded resources that provide valuable content to your current and potential customers.
All of these tips can be applied to most types of content, and you can adjust them to your own organisation’s needs. Making sure your content is branded, whether boldly or subtly, will make your content marketing plan much more powerful and help you build a stronger, more recognisable online brand.

Attitude, character and temperament of the breed
Possible character traits of Corgi and Poodle mix - Such is probably his nature.
There are few things as appealing as a corgi and poodle mix. As regal as a poodle and as playful as a corgi, this mixed breed is the best of both worlds. But what is it about these dogs that makes them so special?
First of all, Corgi Poodles are extremely intelligent. They learn quickly and are eager to please their owners. This makes them the perfect dog for families with children.
Corgi Poodles are also known to be very loyal and affectionate. They are close with their families and love nothing more than spending time with their loved ones. They are also a good protector, which makes them ideal for families with young children.
Another wonderful trait of Corgi Poodles is their playfulness. They are always ready for a game of catch or a belly rub. Their cheerful nature makes them an enjoyable pastime.
What diseases can occur in corgi and poodle mix.
Corgis are a mix of two different breeds, the Poodle and the Corgi. They are a small to medium sized dog with a short coat and a long body. They are known for being intelligent, active and loyal. They are also known for their herding instinct.
Corgis are prone to some health problems, including disc disease, hip dysplasia and von Willebrand syndrome.
Disc disease is a condition of the intervertebral discs in the spine. The discs act as a cushion between the vertebrae, and when they degenerate or rupture, it can lead to pain, paralysis and even death.
Hip dysplasia is a condition in which the hip joint does not develop properly. This can lead to pain, lameness and arthritis.
Von Willebrand disease is a hereditary blood disorder in which the blood does not clot properly. This can lead to bleeding and bruising.
Corgis also tend to gain weight, so it is important that they get enough exercise and eat a healthy diet.
On the whole, Corgis are healthy dogs with few potential health problems.
What does this mixed breed look like?
The Corgi-Poodle mix breed has a medium length coat that is either black, brown or white in color. The coat is dense and has a slight crimp. The undercoat is thick and fluffy, providing insulation and protection from the elements.
Definition: Dog has epilepsy if, for example, at least two epileptic seizures occur more than 24 hours apart.
Cataracts are still one of the most common causes of blindness, even in dogs.
Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA)
Progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) is a slowly progressive death of the retina in dogs.
Problems with the Patellar can be a displacement or weak kneecap, which is one of the most common causes of lameness in dogs, also because of overweight.
Often occur with allergies and intolerances.
A Corgi and Poodle mix will usually inherit the physical characteristics of both of its parents, the Corgi and the Poodle. This means that they will likely have the short legs and body of a corgi and the curly coat of a poodle. However, because there is a wide range of possible physical combinations between these two breeds, it is difficult to predict exactly what a corgi-poodle mix will look like.
Again, because there is a wide range of possible personality combinations between these two breeds, it is difficult to predict exactly what a Corgi and Poodle mix will be like. However, Corgis tend to be energetic, loyal and intelligent dogs, while Poodles are often described as active, friendly and affectionate. Therefore, it is likely that a Corgi and Poodle mix will inherit some of the best character traits of both of its parents.
Both corgis and poodles are relatively active breeds. Therefore, it is likely that a Corgi-Poodle mix will also need a moderate amount of exercise. A daily walk or play session should be sufficient to meet exercise needs.
Since corgis and poodles both have coats that shed moderately, it is likely that a corgi-poodle mix will also need moderate grooming. Brushing the coat several times a week should help control shedding, and nails will also need to be trimmed regularly.
Yes, Corgi and Poodle mixes are generally good with children. However, as with all dogs, it is important to introduce them to children at a young age and socialize them properly to ensure they feel comfortable and safe around children.

Oh hi! It’s just me again … I know, I know! I’m 2 days late for posting a blog! Omggg, what a fucking bitch time I had getting here though. Talk about; - wanting to stab myself in the face!! BUT! Better late than never. Forgive me, my loves?! I promise, I’ve made it worth the wait ..well, I hope so! lol!
After an unexpected but amazing reaction I received from the beautiful Author Amo Jones’ last week (bestie showed Amo my blog post about her first book I read and she loved it hehe sweet girl), it only made me want to hurry up and get on to the next book.
So, here I am! I’M BACK BITCHES!! Back to give everyone another orgasm-in-your-panties review about those sex-on-wheels-dirty-no-limits-biker-boys! I can’t seem to get enough of them. OH! And the girls of course!
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to INTRICATE LOVE – Book Two of the Three set book series. Fucking beautiful!!!
I’ve already done a Blog-Post on Book 1; PERILOUS LOVE <<--- click there to read it if you haven’t. It’s going to be interesting to see how this one goes now. Keeeep going girl!
You know what though?! Let me just start by telling you;- I actually struggled to start the second book at first. I, for the life of me, DID NOT want to leave Zane!! Does this mean I’m cheating on BAE and Zane??!! Haha omg! I giggle as I typed that, ACTUAL. And then I giggled again after I re-read it haha. It sounds so fucking crazy. I haven’t pinched myself yet, to check if I’m in a dream or not. MAYBE I should though??! …it’s all fun and games until the pinch is real because I felt it! – it hurt. So, nope! Not dreaming!
It’s also taken me a lot longer to finish this book as the first one only took me hours not days. I’m pretty sure, my Zane crush is the culprit to blame. In actual fact, I even had to re-read all over again too! The first read, I took too long and I forgot bits and pieces lol. Fuck!
SO! It’s all about Vicky (Alaina’s bestfriend) & Blake (we’ll meet him further down, he’s Zane’s SS-MC brother!)… oh, and Jesse for like one second!
Can he hurry up and piss off already!! Fuck Buddies with NO strings attached always gets ruined one way or another. Someone always ends up falling for the other! Of course, it’s no surprise Jesse fell for her! Vicky is a sexy bitch after all! – but she is a strictly No-Strings attached kind of girl! And was only in it for the “D”, which she shares about it being the biggest she’s ever seen! I think she’d be more upset knowing she wont be fucking that beast of a thing again rather than being upset about Jesse, himself. Awww, sorry Jesse but Bye Felicia! Ha!
It’s Spring Break – don’t laugh BUT I had to Google what Spring Break even is… moving on! That fact doesn’t actually matter. Oh…maybe it matters a little because it was during this time when “Girl met Boy”. So, yes! Spring Break matters.
For Vicky, it pretty much means Party & bullshit & party & bullshit, while on holiday at her Mothers’ “large, over the top mansion” that her mum barely spends any time at. So, Party & bullshit are the only applicable things to do in this matter; With one of her favourite bitches!! – Kalie; they’ve been friends since they were little!! & come on now, we’d all be doing the same if that was us haha, well I know I would be, that’s for sure! And you know what?! It wasn’t long before they had found their way to the Local Bar of the town they’re staying in! ha ha something my friends and I use to do, but in our case;- it was our local pub ha ha!
I had to try SO hard to focus on this book, but because I was SO drawn in by Perilous Love, I still struggled. FUCK! I’ve officially lost my fucking mind. I shit you not! Should I skip and skim through? Find me some sex-scene action? Ha ha! Hey! It might help, ya’ never know!
…OKAY! Geez!! I wont skip and skim, I’ll do it the right way and READ the damned thing!
oOoo hold on! I’m getting to a spot that may have just captured my attention…. HELLO BIKER BOYSSSS!!! Woah! Fucking hot specimens! I remind myself that this isn’t Zane’s time to shine. He had his time. Ha! Spose’ I better give someone else a chance…
She’s talking about “Blake Rendon”; sexy biker number 2! Because, lets’ face it – Zane will always be sexy biker number 1!!
ANYWAY, Blake seems intriguing… they all do, but I’m looking forward to learning more about him. I need too! Oh god! Not this again. But I can’t help it! Arrgghhh! Read these books, NOW! You wont regret. AND you’ll see what I mean! He’s big, bad and a straight “FUCK BITCHES, FUCK RELATIONSHIPS” type of guy. He’s domineering. And when he has taken “claim” to something or someone, BLAKE OWNS IT! He will KILL anything that even tries to get in the way!
…”Are you fucking him Vicky?!”
…”I will fucking kill him, Vicky. So I hope that kiss was worth it”
…”As much as I want to rip her fucking head off and fed it to pigs while pissing on her corpse, I like Zane’s idea better” – by the way, the last “Blake-psychopath-threats” made was NOT about Vicky or Alaina. READ the fucking book, so you can know too!!
Uhhh! Blake Rendon! For someone that “hates” bitches and doesn’t do “relationships”, you sure is acting like a crazy inlove, obsessed, possessive psychopath, mate! But you know what?! Am I fucked up for thinking his psychotic side is fucking HOT and just makes him even SEXIER!!!?? The want is unreal! …I must be fucked! Ha! (umm, get that pretty head out’ve the gutter! – I meant in-the-head, not in-the-vagina!!)
I keep reading, now that I’ve got my “flow” going! Is that the right word to use? …too bad, It’ll have to do! You know what I mean. I can’t put it down. Consumption, it is back. And I fucking love it! Ever want to leave reality for a little bit? Amo-Books are the tickets out of here!
As I’m reading (remember I’m not that girl that is going to be the book spoiler), I know, I just know what’s coming next! ! ! and I..AM..EXCITED! I start to read faster, JUST so I can get to the next parts (anyone would think it’s a race, the way I’m carrying on!) – Oh but it is a race! I say to myself….YEP, it has come to that!;- me answering my own thoughts in my mind. CRAZY asf. Lock me away. NOW. But let me take my phone with my Kindle app. on it, that contain my Amo-Books. please…PLEASE!
It’s getting juicy! Umm. Amo!? How did you NOT go crazy in your panties whilst writing the scene I’ve just hit!!!?? Ha ha! Yes! I did just ask the Author about crazy shit happening in her panties. Fuck! I’m just asking what everyone else probably wanted to know! My filter went out the window the day I started to have to expose my vagina to other people. Uhhh – back to the subject. I FUCKING LOVE this sex scene. It’s dirty. It’s intense. It’s a tease. It’s Filthy! Just how I like it girrrrl !
My struggles decided they were losing the battle now and backed off. Fucking hoorayyy! Let me read in PEACE!
So. It is currently 1am and I FINALLY finished re-reading book 2 – INTRICATE LOVE!!! Fuck! I was totally dramatic in the beginning, refusing to give this book, these characters, their stories, a fucking chance! Holy shit! Absolutely WORTH betraying my loyalty to Zane. SUCH an awesome story-line, I LOVE how everything just fits perfectly together, just like a puzzle.
The twists and turns, the fact that Blake had to block out and push away his happily ever after, has got to fucking KILL someone on the inside! Over and over and fucking over. I know I’d DIE. That to me is an ultimate sacrifice! Certainly kept me on my toes!
TOMORROW, I shall start the final book and I am going to go into it without the struggles, me thinks?! Open eyes, open mind! Ha!
Until next time you kinky little pixies!
Keep smiling, Stay happy! xoxox


In 1989, Citigroup, the financial services giant, erected New York City’s tallest tower outside Manhattan in Queens, where city officials hoped to establish a new commercial district.
A few years later, the bank, once the largest in the world, put up a second, smaller building next door. But the office district in the Long Island City neighborhood never quite caught on.
Now, Citigroup is selling an adjacent development site that will most likely house an apartment complex in what has become one of the city’s hottest residential neighborhoods.
The bank could receive as much as $150 million for the site, nearly one acre bound by 44th Road, 23rd Street and 44th Drive in Court Square, according to real estate brokers.
Construction cranes rise on seemingly every corner in the neighborhood as developers rush to meet the demand for housing. Housing construction is also a priority for Mayor Bill de Blasio, whose administration plans to rezone Long Island City to spur additional construction. The neighborhood, which is well served by public transportation, has become an appealing place to live because of its proximity to Manhattan.
Edward Skyler, a spokesman for Citigroup, said, “Given the direction of our real estate footprint and the city’s need for housing, we believe that this site has great potential that can be unlocked.”
In an email to employees about the sale, Citibank said: “We recognize that the creation of housing is important to the city of New York and we will certainly be taking the city’s priorities into account during the process.”
The bank hired Jones Lang LaSalle, a broker, to sell the property. Under the current zoning for the site, a developer could build a 40-story tower with hotel, retail, apartment or office space.
But if the property sale marks a shift in the neighborhood from commercial to residential development, it also is another sign of Citigroup’s diminishing presence in the city.
Citigroup had originally planned to build a third office building on the property. But the bank, like other financial institutions, was battered during the recession. Since then, it has sold over 60 businesses, including hedge funds, private equity funds and insurance companies.
The bank has also come under scrutiny from regulators and federal prosecutors for its role in the residential mortgage crisis. And in November, Citigroup and five other banks agreed to pay a combined $4.25 billion to settle with regulators in the United States and Britain. The Justice Department is pressuring Citigroup and other banks to plead guilty to criminal charges related to the manipulating of the prices of foreign currencies.
Since 2007, Citigroup’s worldwide payroll has fallen to 240,000 employees, from 375,000. In New York City, the bank now has about 17,000 employees, down from 29,000 seven years ago.
It has also sought to pare its real estate costs. The bank is moving its headquarters from Park Avenue in Midtown to Greenwich Street in Lower Manhattan.
But in the 1980s, Citigroup, then known as Citicorp, was in a more expansive mode. City officials had hoped that the bank’s decision to build a 50-story tower in Long Island City, fueled by a substantial subsidy package, would be the first step in creating a lower-cost commercial district that would attract Manhattan tenants considering a move to New Jersey.
At the time, Mayor Edward I. Koch invoked an “other boroughs” strategy, using tax abatements, low-cost electricity and other incentives to lure companies to Queens.
The green-glass Citigroup tower, now called One Court Square, opened in 1989, drawing thousands of bank workers to a quiet neighborhood that was a short subway ride from Manhattan.
The bank went through a round of layoffs during the recession in the early 1990s and moved thousands of employees to buildings in Jersey City. Years later, Citigroup moved 700 more employees to Jersey City from Lower Manhattan.
In 2007, Citigroup built a second, 15-story building, Two Court Square, as part of its original agreement with the city. It was supposed to be the first phase of a 1.5-million-square-foot development.
Instead, the bank sold six floors of Two Court Square in 2010 to the City University of New York School of Law. Citigroup sold One Court Square for $470 million in 2005, but continued to lease the building, where there are about 4,800 employees.
Citigroup also plans to sell its remaining stake in Two Court Square. As for the 50-story tower, Citigroup told employees on Monday that its lease at One Court Square runs “into 2020, and we expect to continue to have employees there through at least that time.”


Where are all the self-styled champions of the free press now that Adam Schiff has used the surveillance powers of the state to smear not only his political rivals but a journalist?
With the release of the House Intelligence Committee’s impeachment report Tuesday came the revelation that Giuliani and his Ukrainian affiliate Lev Parnas, whose metadata Schiff apparently subpoenaed, had exchanged calls with former The Hill columnist John Solomon, ranking Intelligence Republican Devin Nunes, and attorney Jay Sekulow. Even if we allow that the California congressman had genuine national-security concerns when he subpoenaed metadata from AT&T so he could snoop on his political opponents, what possible national-security concerns would justify unmasking them?
This was an impeachment inquiry, not a criminal investigation. If Nunes had conducted himself similarly with Hillary Clinton’s personal lawyers, the D.C. press corps would have exploded into a raging panic. Rest assured, if Schiff had unearthed anything meaningful — and the subpoenas reportedly went out before the impeachment inquiry even began — he would have shared the evidence during the inquiry rather than using it as partisan chum in a post-inquiry report.
None of those unmasked by Schiff were the target of the inquiry, and, as far as we know, none of their conversations he exposed were unlawful. Nor were any of these conversations relevant in making a case for the impeachment of Donald Trump, especially without information beyond the time, dates, and lengths of the phone calls.
Schiff’s decision to unmask a journalist, though, was especially disconcerting. It meets none of law enforcement’s typical standards.
Now, if your position is that former Hill columnist John Solomon was smearing former Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch and pushing a flawed Ukraine narrative, feel free not to read his work anymore. Feel free, in fact, to make a case that his work is conspiratorial rubbish. But Solomon isn’t under criminal investigation for bad journalism, and he wasn’t a witness in the inquiry. It’s none of Schiff’s business whom Solomon speaks to over the phone. He is free to call Lev Parnas, or whomever else he pleases, as often as he pleases. Journalists often speak to shady characters like Parnas, and they shouldn’t have to worry that some power-drunk congressman is rummaging through their call logs.
And if Solomon’s being wrong about Ukraine is sufficient grounds for Schiff to unmask his name during an inquiry, then what would stop a Republican majority from casting a wide enough net to unmask the many reporters who spent the past four years disseminating one misleading Russian-collusion theory after the next? How many of those reporters were on the phone with gossipmongers from Fusion GPS — or from Schiff’s office?
Schiff’s disclosure of Solomon’s name was a transparent attempt to discredit him. Yet big-name journalism professors and sentinels of constitutional norms, the same people who claimed that protecting the anonymity of the whistleblower was a moral imperative, had nothing to say about a powerful congressman unmasking a reporter. Jameel Jaffer, executive director of the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University — tackling “issues from the balance between privacy and national security to the very meaning of news” — told the Washington Examiner:
It’s pretty rich to see people who’ve led the charge to expand government surveillance powers crying foul over the most basic, constitutionally sanctioned evidence gathering in an investigation of alleged — and increasingly apparent — criminal wrongdoing. Be serious.
So what if those complaining about Schiff have also advocated the expansion of government surveillance powers? Does the Knight First Amendment Institute have neutral principles on the issue of privacy, or does it defend only those who’ve agreed with its policy positions in the past? And if Schiff’s unmasking of an inconvenient journalist is just an ordinary instance of evidence gathering, as Jaffer contends, can he provide any other instances where a congressional committee running a political investigation unmasked a journalist who was reporting on the very issue being debated?
Legality isn’t always the question anyway. I highly doubt Jaffer believes that it’s okay for judges to throw journalists into prison for contempt charges when they protect their sources. After all, courts have the legal authority to do so, and abuses of power are often about exploiting existing and technically legal practices.
“When we start looking into each other’s phone records and who we talked to, that gets to be chaos, and I will have no part of that,” Lindsey Graham said today, turning down a House Republican request for Senate Republicans to start subpoenaing phone records. But this brand of partisanship turns into an arms race of stupid, and eventually the abuses it spawns will become the new normal.

Legacy (International) Film Festival on Aging
About the Legacy Film Festival on Aging
The 8th Annual Film Festival on Aging celebrates the aging process as profound and meaningful, often challenging, and always courageous. Will we ‘age gracefully’, or crankily, or painfully? Or defiantly? With humor?
Our filmmakers portray some of the many facets of this unique, ever-changing experience honestly and artfully and always with compassion and love for their subjects.
The board of directors, film festival researchers and screening panel are contacting filmmakers and reviewing current film submissions from all over the world, to bring you films that embrace our mission to educate, entertain, and inspire intergenerational audiences about the issues of aging.
I love the intimate and community feel of this festival, along with the huge range of cultures represented around this shared focus, which I find inspiring each and every year. Gwen Sanderson - Director, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at SF State
“The films in the Festival have always inspired me, moved me, cheered me, made me cheer for the people in the films and made me glad to be who I am.” JT, a viewer
