For World Toilet Day, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the U.S. member body of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), highlights the efforts of ISO project committee (PC) 305, dedicated to the development of an international non-sewered sanitation systems standard at a time when billions of people across the globe lack access to clean and safe toilet systems.
Developing countries around the world share the same toxic problem: unsafe toilet systems. In light of World Toilet Day on November 19, ISO recently released two articles that highlight the magnitude of the global situation and ISO's work in progress, intended to reinvent the toiletand reverse the unsafe sanitation trend.
ISO reports that in Sub-Saharan Africa, about 90% of the urban population does not have access to a sewer system. For this population, and the cumulative 4.5 billion across the globe who also live without sanitation, the situation is dire, and can lead to a health epidemic. Unfiltered wastewater can lead to disease and crime.
One of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals is effective sanitation. ISO efforts include the ISO 16075 series (parts 1, 2, 3, and 4) on wastewater reuse in agriculture to help farmers safely utilize safely processed waste, a cheap and nutrient-rich resource for irrigation projects. ISO reports that poor farmers and those living in areas of water scarcity will benefit the most. ISO 24518, Activities relating to drinking water and wastewater services Crisis management of water utilities, offers a solid crisis management system for water utilities, while ISO 24521 Activities relating to drinking water and wastewater services Guidelines for the management of basic on-site domestic wastewater services, will help service providers safely collect and process waste.
ISO has released a video that features ISO/PC 305 chair Doulayne Kone, who explains that 6 out of 10 people do not have access to flush toilet systems, and only about 40% of the global population have access to what can be qualified as 'safe sanitation systems.' Mr. Kone also notes that for almost 200 years, there has been no change in toilet technologies, which can be very expensive for developing countries. He explains that the work of ISO/PC 305 is geared to creating a standard that's aiming to make the toilet safe for everyone.
Additionally, ISO reports on the efforts related to the development of ISO 30500, Non-sewered sanitation systems - Prefabricated integrated treatment units - General safety and performance requirements for design and testing, which seeks to provide general safety and performance requirements for the product design and performance testing of non-sewered sanitation systems for prefabricated integrated treatment units.
Developed from experts from 31 countries worldwide who represent stakeholders from industry, government, academia and non-governmental organizations, the standard will apply to any integrated sanitation system that is not attached to a sewer.
ISO 30500 is expected to be published in 2018.

If you are looking for an affordable holographic reflex sight look no further than the Barska
The Barska Multi Reticle Electro Sight gives you a lot of features of more expensive optic at a fraction of the price. That being said don’t expect the durability of the Trijicon RMR or a Vortex Venom at this price point.
For the average recreational shooter that doesn’t abuse his optics the this reflex sight is a much cheaper alternative. Continue reading below for my hands on Barska Multi Reticle Electro Sight Review.
Unboxing The Barska
Multi Reticle Electro Sight
Before I opened the Barska Multi Reticle Electro Sight I was a little worried about the durability of this cheap reflex sight. In the optics world you really do get what you pay for and with the extremely low price point I wasn’t expecting a lot.
To my initial surprise this Barska sight looks and feels surprisingly well built. At a little over 4 oz the sight is surprisingly bulky for the size. The steel construction feels sturdy and all the dials and settings are stiff to move.
I was unable to move my brightness adjustment dial at first, but with a little lubricant I got it moving(albeit a bit stiff). The quality standards might be a bit lacking but overall the sight seems to be very well built.
If you are looking for an extremely compact reflex sight for a glock or small pistol get something else. Try the Vortex Viper Red Dot for an affordably priced pistol reflex sight.
It’s about the perfect size for a Ruger 10/22 or a budget AR15. I had planned on mounting this on my Browing Buckmark 22lr target pistol, but it looked ridiculous. It really is much larger than I was expecting, but that’s to be expected at this price point.
Setup and Mounting Options
Like most modern optics this Barska Red dot was designed to be mounted on a Weaver Style Base or Picatinny rail. If your sight has a mounting rail it’s more than likely a weaver or
This sight is extremely easy to mount. Simply mount it in your preferred location and screw in the allen screws on the sight. I went back and added a little Loc-Tite to mine because it seemed wobbly after 100 rounds or so.
After the Loc-Tite was in place the optic feels strong and secure. After removing the battery cover conveniently located on the top of the sight I was off to sight in this budget optic.
I like to sight in all my rifles using my SiteLite Mag Laser Boresighter[. The SiteLite mag laser boresight is extremely easy to use and can be used with any rifle from .17HMR to 12Gauge shotguns.
It only took a few minutes to sight in at 25 yards with minor adjustments to the windage and elevation knobs. The sight was very easy to sight in, but will it hold zero.
Barska Multi Reticles and Sight Picture
By far the coolest feature this sight has is the multiple reticle options. You can choose between a red or green reticle color(I Prefer Red). With 4 reticle options you can choose the reticle that looks best to you.
Choose between the circle dot, cross 10 MOA and 3 MOA red dot reticles. Personally I prefer the 3 MOA reticle since it doesn’t obscure the sight picture. The other reticles are clear and bright with no noticeable distortion.
Some customers claim the cross reticle isn’t perfectly level, but I don’t notice that on my sight. With 7 brightness settings you’ll be able to find a reticle that works in all ambient light conditions.
You will likely notice slight distortion at high brightness settings, but reducing the brightness should eliminate ghosting. You shouldn’t expect a long battery life at the highest brightness setting(100-300 Hour Battery Life). The Rheostat illumination setting will allow you to adjust the Barska Multi-Reticle for just about any lighting situation.
Barska chose to use an incredibly wide sight picture measuring 22mmx33mm. Considering a Glock 17 is only 30mm wide you’ll be hard pressed to find a pistol this reflex sight will fit onto.
That being said it really is the perfect size for your AR15 or 22LR rifle. The 10 MOA red dot and wide field of view offers extremely fast target acquisition.
Like most red dots the Barska sight has unlimited eye relief. When looking at the sight indoors you’ll quickly notice the clear sight picture. Barska uses a multi-coated glass to reduce glare, but you’ll notice slight glare in bright lighting.
Durability and Waterproofing
Barska chose a somewhat durable design for this reflex sight. The increased size allowed Barska to offer a more durable design at this price point. Don’t expect extreme durability at this price point.
Strong enough to withstand the occasional ding, I wouldn’t put this sight through the ringer. The steel construction and shockproof design will withstand recoil of most low recoil rifle rounds. The shockproof Barska Multi-Reticle Electro Sight is perfect for your AR15 or 22Lr Rifle.
Barska claims this red dot is 100 percent waterproof and fogproof. Personally, I wouldn’t trust completely submerging this sight in water. It should hold up in the occasional rainstorm at the range or slight snowfall. Just don’t allow the sight to become fully emerged in the back of your truck.
Does The Barska Electro Sight Hold Zero?
The real question is whether or not this sight holds zero? Since this sight was designed to withstand light recoil I decided to try the sight out on my S&W M&P 15 Sport. After running 500 rounds through this budget AR15 I was pleasantly surprised.
At 50 yards I had consistent 3″ groupings which is about what I would expect out of a 3MOA Optic. I didn’t notice any significant impact drift or outliers.
The only real issue I had was the mount seemed a little wobbly after 100 rounds or so. With a little bit of Loc-tite on the allen screws and a minute sighting the rifle in I was back on target.
Barska Multi Reticle Electro Sight Review Final Thoughts
I was pleasantly surprised by the Barska Multi Reticle Electro Sight. The Barska Open Red Dot sight performed above my expectations at this price range.
At the end of the day you’re buying an inexpensive reflex sight and expectations should match the price. If you have extremely high standards you should consider the Vortex Viper or Trijicon RMR. Both of these more expensive sights offer a much sturdier design. For the price it’s hard to complain about this cheap Barska Sight.

How to get Selena Gomez’s navy cat eye from the VMAs
Celebrity makeup artist Gita Bass was responsible for the look and gave us the scoop on how to get it.
By Kelsey Glein, InStyle.com
Did you love Selena Gomez's look at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday? It wasn't just her peekaboo navy Atelier Versace stunner that caught our eye. We loved her matching navy cat eye, too. Celebrity makeup artist Gita Bass was responsible for the look, and she gave us the scoop on how to get it.
RELATED: Get Selena's Navy Cat Eye
For the singer's popping peepers, she used Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes in 3L ($19; sephora.com) and gradually layered the deep blue liner over and under the lash line, passing the outer corner of the eye to create a cat eye.
RELATED: See Selena's Best Looks
Bass then topped off Gomez's top and bottom lashes with two coats of Volume Effect Faux Cil Mascara by YSL ($30; sephora.com). To contrast the navy, she painted the lips a pretty pop of magenta, courtesy of Tom Ford Lip Color in Black Orchid ($49, neimanmarcus.com), a perfect complement to the deep navy tones.

Samui Land Prices - Land valuations surge to 7 times official prices on Samui
The land prices on Koh Samui have risen seven-fold over the past few years, driven in popularity by the shift in demand following the tsunami, according to Klayo Thongsom, director of the Property Valuation Bureau.
He said bids for a 30-rai development concession from the Treasury Development had seen valuations of over seven times the official prices set in 2004.
“The sharp rise in valuations comes due to the growing popularity of the Gulf of Thailand among Thais and foreign tourists, particularly Koh samui, following the tsunami,” Mr Klayo said.
The December 2004 tsunami claimed thousands of casualties a long the Andaman coast, while the Gulf of Thailand was completely unaffected.
The Property Valuation Bureau, a unit of the Finance Ministry, is assessing the value of 720,000 state-owned plots across the country to raise commercial returns from public land.
Plots near Suvarnabhumi Airport, scheduled to open later this year, are also set to be assessed in 2006.
Official valuations, used for tax purposes through the land Development, have traditionally lagged actual market prices.
The Treasury Development sees independent valuation as a way of ensuring the state maximizes returns from development concessions offered to private companies.
Rather than a block valuation approach which is used no, the government wants valuations carried out on a plot-by-plot basis, for a more accurate representation of the commercial value of a property.
The department has set a target to revalue 24 million state-owned plots nation-wide by 2013. Four million assessments have already been completed in the last year.

It is not appropriate to compute power for the ANOVA example where the number of groups is increased. This is not a situation for ANOVA; it is a situation for a continuous dose-response analysis. You might derive the power for a 2 degree of freedom composite test for whether a quadratic effect is flat. ANOVA power surely goes down as number of groups expands unless the regression sum of squares doesn't also expand. But that is not relevant here.

In the right circumstances,
the ARP String Ensemble could be surprisingly convincing, expecially
in the upper registers. However, the 'fizzy' lower octaves tended
to highlight the instrument's synthetic origin.
Pre-dating polyphonic synths by some years, the ARP String
Ensemble used electronic organ technology to provide a totally polyphonic
sawtooth waveform. This was then fed through a simple, two stage
envelope shaper labelled CRESCENDO (attack) and SUSTAIN (release)
and then onto an analogue 'bucket brigade' chorus unit to produce
the 'ensemble' effect.
There were several manufacturers producing string synths that utilised
the same basic technique in the mid to late '70s - Elka, Crumar
and others - but it was the ARP String Ensemble that offered possibly
the smoothest and most convincing string sound of all.
Used by countless performers on similarly countless records,
it became a 'classic' sound in its own time (and remains so today).
Even the later polyphonic synths such as the Yamaha CS80 and Prophet
5 - which were more than capable of producing rich string timbres
- could not quite emulate the rich, chorused texture that was a
characteristic of the ARP String Ensemble.
The ARP String Ensemble went on to form the basis of
the ARP OMNI which added synth a filter and ADSR envelope and so
forth to create a basic 'pseudo-polyphonic' synth. Andrew Gold used
one of these to great effect on 'Never Let Her Slip Away'.

I have always been a huge fan of Dr. Seuss. The Grinch is my absolute favorite Christmas story, and I love his rhyming style. Today would have been Dr. Seuss’s 111th birthday, so take a minute and indulge your inner child. It will energize you, encourage your creativity, and relax you. Try one of these:
– Turn on some music and dance without thinking. Be silly!
– Read a children’s book, or read with your child – get really into it and pretend to be the characters of the book.
– Play! Swing on a swing, fly a kite, build with blocks.
– Color or paint, and don’t be afraid to go outside the lines!
– If you garden, get your hands dirty!
– Cooking dinner? Have some fun and don’t just make the same old thing. Indulge your creativity tonight, and try something new!

text: I got an email yesterday from a staffer at ChurchMilitantTV giving me a heads up about using my blog post about the Al Smith Dinner in today's program. I hope you'll sign the petition asking the cardinal to rescind the invitation to Obama. And please pray for the cardinal. Most bishops don't seem to have a heart for the babies in the womb. Not really. They pay lip service to the little ones, but when it comes to dealing with politicians who champion child-killing, they let them get away with murder. God help us! Please pray for Cardinal Dolan and all the members of the hierarchy who send mixed messages about Church teaching on life. We are either really serious about it or we aren't. There is no middle ground. Yes, meet with and urge sinners to change their ways. A private meeting between the cardinal and President Obama would be great. But a public dinner where everyone is joking and laughing while babies are being murdered in real time as they speak is absolutely reprehensible. Pray for the Cardinal and all his brothers in the hierarchy who are doing so much damage to our beloved Church.

text: Clinical treatment of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) is limited by the progressive drug resistance and nonselectivity of most drugs towards malignant cells. Depsipeptides are present in certain bacteria and display potent antitumor activity. We have studied the effect of the novel cyclodepsipeptide AT514 (serratamolide) from Serratia marcescens on B-CLL cell viability. AT514 induced apoptosis of B-CLL cells from the 21 patients studied, as confirmed by Annexin-V binding and nuclei condensation, with an average IC50 of 13 microM. AT514 was effective in those B-CLL cases resistant to fludarabine, but had no effect on normal PBL. AT514 preferentially activated the intrinsic apoptotic pathway, as evidenced by loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, release of cytochrome c and activation of caspase-9 and -3, but not of caspase-8. Importantly, AT514 interfered with phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase and protein kinase C survival signals since it increased the apoptotic effect of LY294002 and Bisl inhibitors, and induced Akt dephosphorylation at Ser 473. AT514 also decreased NF-kappaB activity by dramatically reducing the levels of p65 in B-CLL. This was confirmed on functional assays using NF-kappaB-luc-transfected Raji cells and transgenic mice. Our results establish that AT514 induces apoptosis of primary B-CLL cells and could be useful for clinical treatment of this malignancy.

text: South Asia has emerged among the fastest-growing regions in the world and is expected to play a dynamic role in shaping the ‘Asian Century’. Known for its human and natural resources, it has the world’s largest young working population and a significant number of middle-class consumers. According to the most recent World Bank South Asia Economic Focus, South Asia’s economic growth is forecasted to gradually accelerate from 7.1 per cent in 2016 to 7.3 per cent in 2017. It is likely to reach 7.4 per cent in 2018 and 7.5 per cent in 2019. It is estimated that South Asia needs to generate employment for more than 12 million people of working age every year. Home to one-fifth of humanity, it also has 40 per cent of the world’s poor or close to about 400 million people still living in poverty. South Asian countries face significant challenges in providing their people public education, health care, livelihood, and social security. Almost all the South Asian countries are also prone to frequent natural disasters. While they are busy pursuing their respective development plans, it is clear that no country alone can deal with socio-economic challenges that require collective efforts at a regional level.

So the Oscars have been given out for another year. While I loved Meryl Streep in The Iron Lady I thought that the Academy once again showed it to be the realm of white men. Most of the members of the Academy are white men. And with the exception of a very few, the Oscars went to white men.
I know you are thinking: ” But what about best supporting actress Octavia Spencer and what about the Pakistani woman who won for the best documentary “Saving Face”?”. And what about the Latino man nominated for best actor Demian Bichir from Mexico and of course what about Viola Davis who was nominated for best actress?
But the truth is it’ s a white man game. Hollywood it is time to wake up. Where are the producers of color? Where are the Asian sound engineers? Where are writers and songwriters and special effects crews with diversity? Time for Hollywood to think ahead and think about the changing global world we live in. The diversity of America is certainly not reflected in the films and it seems not behind the scenes either.
The Oscar statuette might be Gold colored. But to me it was basically all white.

Finnish researchers have managed to replace a divertor cassette of a simulated ITER fusion reactor using a remotely controlled maintenance capability for the first time, marking an important milestone on the way towards the launch of the world's largest fusion experiment.
The operation carried out at the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland saw a team at the VTT’s Divertor Test Platform replace the cassette entirely from the control room with the assistance of virtual models and cameras.
The Divertor Test Platform, a full scale mock-up of the bottom part of the fusion reactor, also known as the divertor, is about 20 metres long and weighs approximately 65 tonnes. It is fitted with 54 divertor cassettes – giant ashtrays designed to collect hot ashes and impurities from the fusion reaction. Each of the 3.4m x 2.3m x 0.6m cassettes weighing 10 tonnes has to be handled with a precision of a few millimetres.
The cassettes are installed via three separate maintenance tunnels using a robot and a manipulator. When it is time to remove the divertors, they are unlocked and detached from the ITER reactor chamber, placed in a transport container and removed to be processed in a 'hot cell' facility.
Although needed only three times throughout the designed 20-year lifetime of the reactor, the replacement operation is critical for a safe progress of the experiment.
With extremely hot temperatures reaching up to one hundred million degrees centigrade, all inspection and maintenance on the reactor will have to be performed remotely.
The team developing the remote control capabilities for ITER believes the technology developed throughout the project will find a wide range of applications in other industrial sectors. Such capabilities can be handy in all locations with difficult access for human workers including underground operations or those in space.

City Hall fighting cop ex-Supt. Cline refused to punish
By TIM NOVAK AND CHRIS FUSCO Staff Reporters July 21, 2014 12:12AM
Then-police Supt. Phil Cline in 2006 with Mayor Richard M. Daley. | Sun-Times file photo
Updated: August 22, 2014 6:07AM
In one of his last acts before retiring from the Chicago Police Department, Supt. Phil Cline refused to discipline a detective who had submitted fraudulent documents to City Hall so he could operate a valet company that parked cars at Rush Street nightspots, newly obtained records show.
Detective Frank S. Esposito “committed acts of consumer fraud and deceptive practices,” an investigation by the police Internal Affairs Division found. Internal affairs recommended Cline suspend Esposito for 30 days.
Instead, Cline decided not to punish Esposito at all. Cline and Esposito are friends, and Cline was in Esposito’s wedding party.


This article was originally published by The Hill.
It would be a mistake of significant proportions for the U.S. to unilaterally withdraw from the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty. It would end an important arms limitation treaty, one that eliminated a whole category of nuclear-armed missiles with a range from 500 km to 5,500 km.
The treaty eliminated 846 U.S. nuclear missiles and 1,846 Soviet nuclear missiles, for a combined total of 2,692 nuclear missiles. President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev signed the treaty in 1987. It was an agreement that followed their realization, “A nuclear war cannot be won, and must never be fought.”
Fast forward to President Trump and his national security advisor, John Bolton announcing their intention to jettison the treaty that ended the Cold War; took Europe out of the cross-hairs of nuclear war; and allowed for major reductions in nuclear arms.
After the signing of the INF Treaty, the two countries moved steadily downward from a high of 70,000 nuclear weapons in the world to less than 15,000 today. While this is still far too many, it was at least movement in the right direction.
The withdrawal of the U.S. from the INF Treaty will reverse the progress made by the treaty over the past 30 years. It could restart the Cold War between Russia and the U.S.; reinstate a nuclear arms race; further endanger Europe; and make nuclear war more likely.
Why would Trump do this? He claims that Russia has cheated on the agreement, but that is far from clear, and U.S. withdrawal from the treaty would leave Russia and the U.S. free to develop and deploy intermediate-range nuclear missiles without any constraints. Surely, that would be a far worse option for the U.S. and the world. Instead of withdrawal, the U.S. and Russia should resume negotiations to resolve any concerns on either side.
This is the latest important international agreement that Trump has unwisely sought to disavow. Other agreements that he has pulled out of include the Paris accords on climate change and the Iran nuclear deal (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action).
A recent Los Angeles Times editorial concluded: “On too many occasions this administration has acted impulsively on the world stage and scrambled to contain the damage later. Trashing the INF Treaty would be another such blunder. The president should pull back from the precipice.”
However, since Trump operates in his own egocentric universe, it is doubtful that he even recognizes that his actions are moving the world closer to the nuclear precipice. With his deeply irrational and erratic leadership style, he is demonstrating yet again why nuclear weapons remain an urgent and ultimate danger to us all. He inadvertently continues to make the case for delegitimizing and banning these instruments of mass annihilation.

Key decisions this week include:
1. moving to 3n2 milking from 7th February to protect cow BCS; Implementation delayed allowing heat stress measurements to be completed this week and to allow time to develop solid plans for implementation and recording
2. will utilise our remaining contracted DDG in the blend over the next couple of deliveries to boost protein content. Aiming for 40% PKE, 30% barley & 30% DDG.
3. will utilise all avenues available to decrease feed demand through culling
4. next supplement cuts from support/external blocks to be made into silage rather than baleage for ease of feeding larger quantities during late summer early autumn
5. holding rotation length of 37-39 days
6. continue with priority inshed feeding to early calving, light BCS animals

DETROIT — RoboTire Inc., a Detroit-based automotive robotics and automation startup that's developing an automated tire-installation process, has attracted Reinalt-Thomas Corp. as a new investor.
Reinalt-Thomas, d.b.a. Discount Tire/America's Tire, participated in a recent $7.5 million Series A investment round, RoboTire said, along with Automotive Ventures, Detroit Venture Partners, 640 Oxford Ventures and several other "angel" investors.
RoboTire has patented a system that uses robots to change a set of tires in under 15 minutes, or what the company claims is a fraction of the time human operators can perform the task.
The company's goal is to introduce "manufacturing-level" automation to traditional automotive repair shops, thereby transforming the traditional financial and operational considerations used by fleet operators and automotive service providers for tire and wheel services.
"Discount Tire is excited to support RoboTire in the development of new and innovative technologies that drive a better customer experience," Tom Williams, chief experience officer at Discount Tire, said.
"As customer expectations around the 'buy and book online' experience and our ability to deliver reduced wait times continue to grow, we will continue to pursue automation and enhancements that ensure an inviting, easy and safe experience for all our customers."

Another of the world's major killers is cancer, and curing/preventing cancer has been something of the holy grails of medical science for many years. In the next year or so, Merck will submit a vaccine for FDA approval, which protects against a number of the cervical cancer-causing strains of the human papilloma virus. Cervical cancer, caused by this virus, is responsible for more than 3500 deaths a year in the U.S. However, so-called social conservatives (actually, christianist fundie wingnuts) are opposing general use of the vaccine, because it 'might encourage sexual behavior' among teens. Because, as usual, their brand of moralism is more important than the lives of thousands of women worldwide. Fucktards. I sincerely hope that these people all contract horrible, painful diseases, and die poor, miserable and alone.

What is a newsletter and how to use it in your business?
A survey conducted by Rock Content in 2018, with 684 people, revealed that 78.4% of individuals like to receive a newsletter and 76.8% have already made some purchase from receiving content in their personal email. So, knowing what newsletter is and investing in this strategy may be what is missing for your business to grow.
Therefore, in this article, we will explain what a newsletter is, how to create a foolproof strategy and what are the differences between email marketing and RSS subscription. Read on and learn more.
What is the newsletter?
Newsletter means “newsletter”. The strategy consists of periodically sending emails to a network of leads — potential customers — with relevant content, such as articles, news and useful tips for the persona.
Its objective is to strengthen the brand and maintain a relationship with the people who are part of the network of contacts. Thus, it is noteworthy that this newsletter is not directly intended to sell or advertise products/services. However, it brings many advantages for the company, such as:
- direct contact with the lead;
- good cost-benefit;
- increases blog/site traffic;
- Retains and retains customers.
How to create a foolproof newsletter?
Think about nice layouts and content
Most of the time, creating a standard layout and making it easier to see the content is a neglected attitude, but it makes all the difference in the experience of who is receiving the email. Therefore, always choose to write in a scannable way, with small paragraphs and with language suitable for the audience.
The “subject” field in the inbox is what will catch the attention — or not — of the reader. So, don’t be afraid to invest considerable time in this step and think about creative titles. Despite being few words, they are the main ones to instigate curiosity.
Always seek to know what the public’s opinion is about your material and what can be better. Also, never send spam. This practice is malicious and will certainly damage the image and the relationship built by your brand.
Create an editorial calendar
Having an editorial line will make the contents sent make sense to each other since they will follow a logic. It consists of defining the themes that will be addressed in each email shot. To define, the company can answer some questions:
- What is my niche?
- Who is my persona?
- What are my potential customer’s questions?
- What is the most suitable format? (Video, blog post, infographics, etc.)
With this, it will be possible to define some main themes that your audience would like to receive. For example, if you are an affiliate of a digital management product, you can use the following themes:
- content about personal development;
- tips for running a business;
- Reading indications.
Then, just use these themes as a base and create subdivisions in each one of them, to keep the same style of content. It is noteworthy that your audience does not need to be aware of this division, but it will make all the difference in organizing your newsletter.
Insert CTA (Call to Action)
Call to Action means “call to action”. It consists of an invitation made to the reader, with the objective of leading them to do something that will bring them even closer to your brand. A newsletter without CTA does not instigate the customer journey or help your sales funnel. Then, your company can be quickly forgotten by him.
Before defining the CTA of each email, it is necessary to know the persona, identify the stage of the sales funnel and ensure consistency between the content and the call. Some examples that can be used are:
- read a blog article;
- contact the company;
- download some material;
- Register for a particular event.
Perform tests and changes
After you finish creating your first email, send it to friends and your own contact. Try to open the content in as many browsers as you can, such as Internet Explorer, Opera, Chrome and Mozilla.
This way, you can make sure that the message will reach all your subscribers’ inboxes. This is important because the newsletter is often seen as spam by many servers. That way, you can deliver your email to users’ spam inboxes.
Also, note if the content opens fast and is readable on all shots, considering that, especially when using images, the loading may be slow or even not loading some parts and hampering the experience of subscribers.
With all this analysis, don’t be afraid to make changes. Both in this first test email and in the next ones, note what needs to be different and change. It is these insights that will make all the difference in your results.
What is the difference between newsletter, email marketing and RSS subscription?
It is common for companies to confuse newsletter, email marketing and RSS subscription, considering that they are all sent by email. However, there are many differences between them. We’ll talk about each one so that your business strategy isn’t confusing:
- RSS subscription — aims to only send articles from your blog to subscribers, according to the frequency with which they are published;
- Email marketing — is persuasive and intends to make sales, then sends products, services, promotions, among others. It has variable periodicity;
- Newsletter — is informative and aims at the relationship with the potential customer. Therefore, it seeks to have a pre-defined shipping frequency.
Although many people believe that email is outdated and don’t even try to know what a newsletter is, this is still an extremely effective channel. With it, the marketing strategy of any business can achieve expressive results.

Assam flood scene deteriorates further on Wednesday where the water levels of the Brahmaputra and its tributaries have refused to recede.
According to the government sources, the current flood wave have affected more than 13 lakh people in 19 district where most of the people have been rendered homeless. But the real figure is believed to have reached 20 lakh till Wednesday as more and more areas have come under the surging waters.

Mass marketing fraud is a significant source of income for international crime rings. Con artists ignore geographic boundaries to reach out to potential victims by phone, email, postal mail, and through the Internet, and then trick them into sending money or giving out personal information. According to the Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s consumer protection agency, Americans report losses of more than a billion dollars a year to these frauds.
These con artists are successful because they can be clever, but knowledgeable consumers can avoid these scams.
Here are 10 things you can do to stop a scam:
- Keep in mind that wiring money is like sending cash: the sender has no protections against loss. Con artists often insist that people wire money, especially overseas, because it’s nearly impossible to reverse the transaction or trace the money. Don’t wire money to strangers, to sellers who insist on wire transfers for payment, or to someone who claims to be a relative in an emergency (and wants to keep the request a secret).
- Don’t send money to someone you don’t know. That includes an online merchant you’ve never heard of — or an online love interest who asks for money or favors. It’s best to do business with sites you know and trust. If you buy items through an online auction, consider a payment option that provides protection, like a credit card. Don’t send cash or use a wire transfer service.
- Don’t respond to messages that ask for your personal or financial information, whether the message comes as an email, a phone call, a text message, or an advertisement. Don’t click on links in the message, or call phone numbers that are left on your answering machine, either. The crooks behind these messages are trying to trick you into giving up your personal information. If you get a message and are concerned about your account status, call the number on your credit or debit card — or your statement — and check it out.
- Don’t play a foreign lottery. First, it’s illegal to play foreign lotteries. Second, it’s easy to be tempted by messages that boast enticing odds in a foreign lottery, or messages that claim you’ve already won. Inevitably, you’ll be asked to pay “taxes,” “fees,” or “customs duties” to collect your prize. If you send money, you won’t get it back, regardless of the promises.
- Don’t agree to deposit a check from someone you don’t know and then wire money back, no matter how convincing the story. By law, banks must make funds from deposited checks available within days, but uncovering a fake check can take weeks. You are responsible for the checks you deposit: When a check turns out to be a fake, it’s you who is responsible for paying back the bank.
- Read your bills and monthly statements regularly—on paper and online. Scammers steal account information and then run up charges or commit crimes in your name. Dishonest merchants sometimes bill you for monthly “membership fees” and other goods or services you didn’t authorize. If you see charges you don’t recognize or didn’t okay, contact your bank, card issuer, or other creditor immediately.
- In the wake of a natural disaster or another crisis, give to established charities rather than one that seems to have sprung up overnight. Pop-up charities probably don’t have the infrastructure to get help to the affected areas or people, and they could be collecting the money to finance illegal activity.
- Talk to your doctor before buying health products or signing up for medical treatments. Ask about research that supports a product’s claims—and possible risks or side effects. Buy prescription drugs only from licensed U.S. pharmacies. Otherwise, you could end up with products that are fake, expired or mislabeled — in short, products that could be dangerous.
- Remember there’s no such thing as a sure thing. If someone contacts you promoting low-risk, high-return investment opportunities, stay away. When you hear pitches that insist you act now, guarantees of big profits, promises of little or no financial risk, or demands that you send cash immediately, report them to the FTC. For more information about investment fraud, click here.
- Know where an offer comes from and who you’re dealing with.Try to find a seller’s physical address (not just a P.O. Box) and phone number. With VoIP and other web-based technologies, it’s tough to tell where someone is calling from. Do an internet search for the company name and website and look for negative reviews. Check them out with the Better Business Bureau.One bonus tip: Visit OnGuardOnline.gov to learn how to avoid internet fraud, secure your computer and protect your personal information.

NORTHAMPTON residents are this week demanding that a flood storage scheme designed to protect two new flood plain developments be beefed up to provide protection for the entire town.
Residents' action group the Nene Flood Prevention Alliance (NFPA) wants the Environment Agency to build a 2.5Mm 3storage lake, almost 50 times larger than existing plans for a dry lake to protect the flood plain developments.
The Agency has said long term plans for Northampton would include a large flood water storage facility but that this would not be required for at least another 50 years.
But NFPA is concerned that any further development on the flood plain will increase the flood risk faster.
'The dry bunded area currently proposed by the Environment Agency will go nowhere to replace 80% of flood plain which is being lost to development, ' said NFPA member David Hugheston-Roberts.
Northampton Borough Council upgraded its existing flood defences in 2000 after major flooding in Easter 1998 which forced 10,000 residents to be evacuated.
But Environment Agency area flood defence manager Andy Baxendale explained this week that a shortage of funds had precluded provision of downstream storage in the original works.
Work had involved straightening the river channel to improve its capacity in the town, and raising floodwalls and embankments.
But the scheme was criticised last year by past ICE president George Fleming in a report commissioned by Northamptonshire County Council. He said it did not provide any storage to cope with increased flows resulting from raising the level of Northampton's defences.
'We've probably now maximised the hydraulics of the channel and how much water can pass through the town. So future schemes will need flood storage, ' admitted Baxendale.

Drought Putting Bay Area Trees Under Stress; 'Give Them Water' Says Water District
SAN JOSE (KPIX 5) -- It's easy to see the beauty and benefits of large, mature trees. What's harder to see is that the drought is already putting many of them under stress.
"If you notice things that for this time of year look a little different," said John Chapman, an arborist for the Santa Clara Valley Water District. "Like, a lot of our trees will start to turn color in the fall as just part of their natural progression. We're seeing plants starting to do that already."
Chapman says other trees, which were probably stressed in the last drought, have now died. And more could follow in the yards of homeowners when people turn off their lawn sprinklers to save water.
That's why the Valley Water District is modifying its message when it comes to watering during the drought.
"The messaging is to cut back on general use of water in your landscape, convert over to drought-tolerant landscaping, but if you have established trees, give them water."
Mature trees provide shade and natural cooling, which can cut down on home energy use. They also provide habitat for birds and wildlife, cut down on erosion and provide oxygen for us to breathe.
"You can't just replace a large mature tree like that. You need to plant the tree and wait and wait, 30 to even, like, hundreds of years," said Sophia Saavedra with Our City Forest, which helps replenish San Jose's tree population.
Saavedra says mature trees should get a deep watering twice a month during the summer season and newly planted trees should get a soaking twice a week.
The water district recommends using a soaker hose to wet the roots as far out as the tree's drip line, to water only in the morning or evenings, and to use a thick natural mulch around the base of the tree, to hold the moisture in.
"We really advocate for deep, infrequent watering," Chapman said.

Rooftop Condensing Unit Sound Barrier Wall
A General Contractor contacted eNoise Control looking for a way to reduce the noise of a chiller located on a roof. Outdoor chiller noise is one of our most common applications. There are several potential solutions for this type of noise problem.
- Steel sound barrier walls
- Removable compressor blankets
- Fan silencers
- Outdoor sound curtains
The General Contractor in this case decided to go with the steel sound barrier wall panels. The panels are connected together with a tongue and grove connection and rigidly held in place with self-drilling sheet metal screws. Panels feature an acoustic grade fill that is inert, mildew-resistant, vermin-proof, and incombustible.
Steel Sound Barrier Wall Specifications
- Model ST4000
- Fabricated 4″ thick
- Exterior shell – type G90 16-gauge solid galvanized steel
- Interior shell – 22-gauge perforated galvanized steel
We supplied the powder coated acoustical panels and the general contractor installed them on a structural support that they built. They attached their structural support to the existing dunnage supporting the chiller and avoided making new roof penetrations.

If you enjoy watching celestial events you may want to catch the total lunar eclipse that will occur during the early morning of Saturday, April 4,
Saturday’s totality will be the shortest in a century. The partial phases will span some 3 1/2 hours starting at 2:01 am PDT, but totality will last less than five minutes beginning at 4:58 am PDT. If we have clear skies this will definitely be visible here in Revelstoke.
A total lunar eclipse occurs only during full moon phase when the Sun, Earth and Moon lie in a straight line. The Moon slips directly behind Earth into its shadow. The outer part of the shadow or penumbra is a mix of sunlight and shadow and only partially dark. From the inner shadow, called the umbra, the Sun is completely blocked from view. A small amount of sunlight refracted or bent by Earth’s atmosphere into the umbra, spills into the shadow, coloring the eclipsed Moon red.
Please click here for detailed information about this eclipse.

Ugunja, Kenya- Empowering Kenya's Widows: NGOs seek to reverse the discrimination against Kenya's widows
[adapted from Think Africa Press] In the Uganja area of the Nyanza Province in Kenya, upon death of their husband, many widows land is forcibly taken away from them by their in-laws. Such practices render most widows landless in communities where they lack the right to inherit property, leaving them isolated and left alone, especially if illiterate. In addition, widows are often subject to physical and emotional abuse, being routinely stigmatised and left to fend for themselves.
'Most of the widows in Ugunja area are landless and faced with the serious challenge of providing for their children. This has contributed to the high rate of HIV infection in the area as "most of the young widows are sometimes forced to sleep with men so that they can support their small families; men are taking advantage of the current situation"'.
Yet the Ugunja Community Resource Centre (UCRC) is passionately working to empower widows in the Nyanza province through educating women on their rights to land and encouraging them to seek legal redress. As one resident reports, “The organisation has enabled me to know my rights as a woman, many people still believe that women do not have rights of property. After the civic education, I have learned that the law protects and safeguards the rights of a woman too.”
Under the Law of Succession Act in the Kenya Consitution, women's rights are well defined. Yet, Jacqueline Ng'ang'a of Women's Empowerment Link (WEL), a Nairobi based NGO, states that women in Kenya are often denied their rights. With decisions about their lives made by their husbands, she calls for more government action to implement women's legal rights which are too-often contradicted by religous beliefs and cultural practices.
