With the help of Any.do’s task scheduling tools, you can arrange a list of tasks according to when they are due by giving each one a start and an end time.

Your team members can add time entries to tasks using time tracking. You may keep track of the time spent on individual tasks and the project as a whole with the Any.do’s time tracking feature. However, a paid subscription is necessary to add colored tags.

The FAA has mandated that aircraft designed after Janumust be compliant with new, quieter decibel restrictions. The good news is that the noise levels are decreasing, forced by regulation and steady improvements in engine and aircraft design. Surprisingly, Canadian researchers found that "high speed turbulent flow over an aircraft fuselage is responsible for a substantial component of the interior noise, and is probably the most important source of cabin noise for jet powered passenger aircraft in steady cruise." It's the plane itself moving through the air delivering most of the cabin noise, and not simply the engines. However, in-flight noise also results from airflow around surfaces such as wings, flaps and landing gear. Passengers intuitively know that the engines are the main source of aircraft noise. So, which aircraft are the quietest aloft? And where should you aim to sit on board? First, What's Causing the Noise? On the Air France flight, had I been sitting on the lower deck in economy, behind the engines, it would not have seemed quite so quiet. The truth is my ears perceive the Q400 to be about twice as loud as the A380.Ī 2018 study published in the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology points the way: how loud you perceive the cabin noise to be depends on the aircraft, and where you sit on board. The "Q" of the Q400 is supposed to stand for quiet a noise-cancelling system is built in. There was a dull roar during taxiing and that roar increased to a visceral, low, rapid thumping as the second engine was started and the plane throttled up. ![]() The second flight was aboard a Bombardier Q400 turboprop aircraft from Newark to Halifax, Nova Scotia. Of course - lucky me! - I was firmly ensconced in first class, at the front of the plane. I barely even noticed we had taken off, let alone the relatively subtle roar that is the spooling of the engines at takeoff. The first was an Air France Airbus A380 from New York JFK to Paris CDG. ![]() ![]() ![]() (if ur not on my best friends list, i’ll cut some down for u) oranges, apples, coconuts, cherries, and pears.

However, the latter style fits more inconspicuously than the pivot model and forms a nice tight seal against the floor with a piece of soft plastic or vinyl when the door is closed. One style of automatic door sweep swings up from a pivot point and is easier to install than one which lifts vertically. They can also require a small pause after unlatching the door so that they are properly retracted. These sweeps are slightly more expensive and can be more difficult to install. There are a few styles of automatic door sweep which remove the problem of drag on flooring or carpets. It can be difficult to strike the balance between minimizing the drag and having the sweep work effectively. They can also leave a mark behind on the carpet which will wear a track into the carpet over time. Door sweeps are normally installed on the exterior of an out-swinging door and the interior of one that swings inwards.Ī disadvantage of a door sweep is the drag they have on a carpet making it difficult to open and close to door. They are also available in natural wood finishes so that they blend in with the door. The carrier is available in a number of different finishes and materials to suit your décor such as gold, brass or aluminum metal or various colors of plastic. Door SweepsĪ door sweep consists of a brush made from plastic or vinyl bristles secured in place against the door with a carrier. Sometimes it can be necessary to cut your door a little shorter so that the door bottom fits into the gap and works effectively. An L-shaped door bottom fits onto one side of the door and extends underneath to bridge the gap to the threshold. When searching for this style you need to know how thick your door is. A U-shaped door bottom slides onto the underneath of the door and can be adjusted so that it covers the gap to the threshold. Theyll fit snugly between the door bottom and the floor for most types of flooring. Theyre 36 inches in length to fit most standard-sized doors, although some quick work with a handy hacksaw will let you shorten it if a smaller length is needed. There are 2 common styles of door bottom: U-shaped and L-shaped.

When you refinance a loan, either to get a lower interest rate or to change the loan's time period, you have to pay a small percentage of the amount of principal you have left. It may increase more than you can afford, which is what prevents people from refinancing to a shorter-term loan. This accelerates your payments and reduces your interest, with one serious drawback: Your monthly payment increases. Refinancing is how you change the schedule on which you're required to pay off the loan, say from 30 years to 20 or even 15. If your loan is set on a 30-year time period, as are most mortgages, one way to use amortization to your advantage is to refinance your loan. A shorter payment period means larger monthly payments, but overall you pay less interest. A longer or shorter payment schedule would change how much interest in total you will owe on the loan. The monthly payments you make are calculated with the assumption that you will be paying your loan off over a fixed period. One significant factor of amortization is time. Initial monthly payments will go mostly to interest, while later ones are mostly principal. How much of that monthly payment goes to interest and how much goes to repaying the principal changes as you pay back the loan. To keep loan payments from fluctuating due to interest, institutions use loan amortization.Īmortization takes into account the total amount you'll owe when all interest has been calculated, then creates a standard monthly payment. Basically, the less principal you still owe, the smaller your interest is going to end up being. The amount of interest you pay on the borrowed money, or principal, changes as you pay back the money. ![]() ![]() When you get a loan from a bank or a private financial institution, you have to pay interest back on the money you borrow. You can also take advantage of amortization to save money and pay off your loan faster. Loan amortization doesn't just standardize your payments. ![]() Your loan may have a fixed time period and a specific interest rate, but that doesn't mean you're locked into making the same payment every month for decades.

![]() ![]() It also gives BookBub’s editors an idea of how readers will respond to your book. īookBub doesn’t require a minimum amount of reviews, but more reviews give the impression that your book is more popular. Offering a complete series makes your deal more appealing. This isn’t a guarantee that they’ll accept your book, but it helps because readers don’t want to wait around for the next one. ![]() īookBub finally accepted my deal once the entire series was available for sale on all platforms. If you have a cover that’s not eye-catching, it’s worth considering a redesign, not just for BookBub but because it will help in all your book promotions. īelieve it or not, readers really do judge books by their covers, and so do the people over at BookBub. Although they sometimes feature books that are exclusive to Amazon, you typically have a better chance if your book is available on all platforms (Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and Google Play) and if the deal is available in all territories (US, UK, Australia, India, and Canada). īookBub wants deals that appeal to all their readers. Make your book available on all platforms and in all territories. īookBub seems to like first in the series because (as I understand it) they will make money off affiliate sales of your other books if their readers buy the rest of the series. They usually won’t feature anything above $2.99, and they’re unlikely to feature your book at that price point if it’s always priced there. īookBub wants to give their readers the best deals, so try to offer your book free (if it’s the first in the series) or for $0.99. ![]() Here are my suggestions for getting your book featured in BookBub: 1. ![]() With that in mind, there are a couple of things you can do to increase your odds that BookBub will feature your book. I recently had another author friend say she tried 18 times before getting accepted. I tried 10 times with my free book before finally getting accepted. While BookBub is incredibly effective for authors, it is extremely hard to get your book accepted. BookBub for authors: How to get a BookBub feature They’re willing to consider permanently free books, but in general, they’re looking for book deals that are deeply discounted. The price varies depending on the price point of your book and which newsletter you want to be featured in. You pay to get your book featured in their newsletters. The company sends out newsletters to thousands of readers each day. If you hang out with other writers long enough, you’ll discover that BookBub is THE place to advertise your books if you can.īut you can read tons of BookBub reviews on the web, and I’d rather go a step further and help you use the tool. If you’re not familiar with BookBub, it’s the holy grail of book marketing for fiction authors.īookBub is what made all the difference in this promotion. What is BookBub? And how does BookBub work? I couldn’t believe it when I got the email saying they’d accepted my book for a feature and were planning to run my ad on January 4, 2017. You can only apply once per month, and I was determined to keep trying. I submitted my free book to BookBub for consideration - for the tenth time. When I made this decision, I had already self-published the first and second books, and the third was almost ready.įast-forward to December 2016. Though I don’t make any money on downloads of this book, the idea is to capture readers’ attention so they’ll hopefully buy the next books in my series. Permafree is a term that simply means the book is always free or “permanently free.” To understand my marketing strategy, we have to rewind about a year.Īround March 2016, I decided to make the first book in my series, Fire in Frost, permafree. How’d I do it? It took blood, sweat, tears and a little luck. Not only did it mean 60,000 people were willing to take a chance on my book, but it meant exposure, sales and several other big wins for a tiny little author like me. In January, 2017, I gave away 60,301 books on Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble and Kobo combined. ![]() ![]() ![]() HRT is like Viagra for women…On the eve of my 50th, I'm finally having mind-blowing sex: STACEY DUGUID lifts the lid on the menopausal last flush of lust.Ben Needham's mother says she was 'physically sick' when police told her a child found in German river was not her son. ![]() ![]() Family find skeletal remains of baby boy hidden in a suitcase as they cleared out their loft, inquest hears.How your childhood video collection could make you a mint: VHS of 101 Dalmatians goes on eBay for £15,000 and Disney classics are listed for £10,000 - how much are YOUR old tapes worth?.Horrifying moment feuding boy racers kill 16-year-old student Alisha Goup when one ploughs into her at 66mph while she walks to college - as they are jailed for 14 years each.Harry and Meghan's rift with the royal family sparks Invictus Games row: Veterans question if Sussex stand-off has cost them more support from royals - but Palace points out it's normal practice to not get involved in each other's projects.Outrage at Borough Market as greengrocer claims it was banned from selling its famed chocolate-covered strawberries because they 'do not count as fruit, veg or related produce'.Disgraced ex-BP boss Bernard Looney 'had a reputation' for romancing colleagues, insiders claim - amid pressure on oil giant after tycoon dramatically quit for 'misleading board about his work relationships'.The council clearance sale!
