As European heavily invested in American sports and news the gun question is just so baffeling. The American history is also problematic but I wouldn't say Europe has much better one. The possibility of anyone having a gun makes every altercation so much more threatening and police so much more agressive. Combine that with a history on denial of rasiscm. If you had less guns you would have less police and you could put more money into education. Then you would have less rasiscm and less criminals. Thats the way it works everywhere else.Alleviating the corporate social responsibility reporting-performance...
The present research identifies corporate reporting-performance inconsistency as a major issue that undermines the current practice of corporate social responsibility (CSR). The inconsistency manifests in that companies either avoid disclosing negative information in their CSR reports or use vague and empty expressions to cover their CSR inaction. In most situations, instead of providing a complete and balanced picture and causing companies to re-examine their own CSR behaviour, CSR reporting has been declining into a strategic corporate communication tool that primarily serves firms’ own interests. Such a problem greatly challenges the fundamentals of CSR and raises hard questions as to the reliability of private regulation and corporate self-regulation pertaining to CSR reporting. Taking Canada as a field of research, the present study combines theoretical with empirical research methodology in order to thoroughly investigate the problem of the CSR reporting-performance inconsistency and provide a plausible solution to it from a law and regulation perspective. The main empirical research methods it takes are qualitative interviews and documentary analysis. In particular, the present research builds on the literature and empirical observations to explain the inconsistency and identify the regulatory gaps that currently exist in CSR reporting. As a side issue, it also questions the primary purpose of the CSR reporting regime, suggesting that CSR reporting should be used to transform irresponsible corporate performance and serve broader public goals. Inspired by the reflexive law literature and the empirical evidence, the present research develops a concrete model of “reflexive law plus” to address the CSR reporting-performance gap. “Reflexive law plus”, as named by the present research, is a refined form of reflexive law, in the sense that it is faithful to the fundamentals of the reflexive law theory, yet incorporates regulatory design components that can better catalyze and consolidate the self-referential capacity of the companies involved in CSR reporting. The present research holds that “reflexive law plus” provides a sound solution to remediate the inconsistency because it is pertinent to the regulatory circumstance in which CSR reporting is situated.

We were trying, but I was waiting for depo to get out of my system, so I wasn't expecting anything just yet. I had mentioned to DH one night that if I was back on schedule, I would be ovulating that day based on dates. 

We, you know, netflix-and-chilled, and I went out for a cigarette afterward.  Shortly thereafter, long story short, DH made it really clear how he felt.  A family member had lost a child to cancer before we met, and he pointed out that if something happened, I would not want to look back on the smoking with regret. 

That's the light, short version.  The next day I went and got some patches.  At first it wasn't for me even, and i wanted to smoke. But I did it out of respect and love for my partner and his feelings. 

A few weeks later...big fat positive.  I never looked back from there and I didn't even use most of my step 2 patches. (Want them? I will mail them to you)

I read "expecting better" as pretty much my only pregnancy book and there's a bunch of things where I think the risks are overblown (lunch meat) but not cigarettes.  The risks are real and documented.  And based on my reading I feel comfortable using a little vaporized MJ (legal here), so i'm preeeetty liberal.  But I can't argue smoking. It's not risky, it's bad.  

 But it is totally worth it and it is important to a life that will extend well beyond yours. LO will thank you for all your good decisions.  

For what it is worth i just asked husband. He said "I stopped worrying you'd go back after about 3 weeks, and you stopped talking about it after about 6 weeks".  So quit today, look at a calendar and also at an app that will tell you what is up with baby six weeks from now. And just take it one day at a time like everything else in pregnancy until you get to that date.   

I have 1-2 very very fleeting cravings a week at 27 weeks. So fleeting they are nothing. As baby becomes more real in my mind, the easier it is to imagine/accept a smoke free life.  

PM any time. Also come join us in /r/babybumps!What's ridiculous about Cena's megapush was that the WWE could justify it because Cena was basically their PR wet dream: charismatic, great at inteviews, kid-friendly gimmick, a workhorse who seems to dedicate his every waking moment to WWE. Going forward it seems like they've been holding all of their talent up to the same standard as Cena, which is dumb given what happened with CM Punk. Rather than building a healthy variety of talent, they'd been trying to force an entire stable of John Cenas with obvious results.You probably heard about lead magnets and freebies? Maybe you already created one? Or maybe you are procrastinating on it right this second?
From working with a lot of clients on growing and automating their business, I know that this process can be quite overwhelming I wanted to break it down in easy, action packed steps so that you can finally create the best converting lead magnets and bring in hundreds of free leads.
First things first: What is a lead magnet?
It is also called freebie. Both words are used interchangeably. Personally I do use the word freebie more often but I do like the word lead magnet more, because literally that’s what it is (it is also free) but a good lead magnet is this literal thing, a magnet for leads! And that’s what we want. Especially converting leads. So a lead magnet, is something you offer for FREE in exchange for an email address. Lead magnets could come with many, many different faces: It could be a workshop, an ebook, a how to sheet, a guide, a video series … ANYTHING. Whatever YOU like most and your clients want to see the most. One topic can be packaged many different ways!
One great thing about lead magnets is: it only converts people who are interested in your products / services, which is great because these are the people we want in our eco system. And once they are in we can start building relationships with them and get them from lead to buying, raving customer. Doesn’t that sound amazing?
Why do we need a lead magnet? What’s the purpose of a lead magnet?
I am glad you are asking!
Automated lead generation. Never forget that every customer starts out as a lead, a potential client. With a lead magnet you don’t need to convince anyone to check out your website or get in contact with you, they automatically be in your funnel once they sign up and we can take it further from there.
Builds trust and an actual relationship. We will lead with value, because they are getting something for free. And with the sequence that follows the lead has a chance to get to know you, email by email, value after value. This is about the long-term game - even though we can pitch in one of the first few emails and have a chance to convert people almost immediately.
Builds email list. In it’s simplest form… we are creating, building and unleveling your email list with fresh leads.
But why do we need a landing page, if we have a website?
Another good question - you are on a roll here!
Websites are overly crowded with information… there are multiple pages, loads of text to read, maybe videos to watch, testimonials to see. Leads can easily get lost and get distracted and maybe even forget why they are on this page in the first place and leave.
And even though your website should have a clear call to action - it is much easier to lose a lead on a website than a landing page. This does not mean that a website is not needed, not at all, but it’s just not the best way for lead generation.
So if you are using any way of paid marketing, don’t send them to your website but to your landing page to make sure you
