The below chart of monthly visitors in Canada will paint the real picture. The Yellow Pages website gets more traffic than Google!Ībsolutely not. Having a free listing provides you with a small boost for local SEO, but the paid packages at Yellow Pages won’t impact your visibility on Google. It may pass along some link value, but it’s of very low quality. You’ll see that the link to the website is actually something like - that means that the link actually is a redirect from the Yellow Pages site, not a true link to your site. But a lie the reps seem to tell a lot, based on what we hear. Having a paid listing on the Yellow Pages will improve your rank on Google. Secondly, they are not the only authorized Google Ads reseller in Canada. You do not receive better rates by working with a reseller - if anything, it costs more and they provide you with less reporting. First, it implies that being a Google Ads reseller is better than a Google Ads Partner. We are the only authorized Google Ads reseller in Canada. The Yellow Pages reps continue to tell people the same old BS stories, but they’re getting more insistent as they become more and more desperate. Nine years ago, Yellow Pages reps were still trying to talk people into print ads-for the past several years they’ve switched to pushing them towards what we view as terrible online advertising options and even more terrible Yellow Pages websites.

Shady business practices aside, we don’t see any logical reason to get involved with Yellow Pages beyond the free basic listing. According to the pattern of complaints outlined by the Better Business Bureau, people are also complaining about auto-renewals happening after a cancellation has been sent. They’re even being charged through bills from their phone companies (like Telus and Bell). We hear from people who are shocked when they receive bills from Yellow Pages for hundreds or thousands of dollars, and when they call the YP customer service line (if they’re even able to get through), they are told there is nothing to be done because they said yes during a phone call with their rep or signed a contract at some point. For those who do sign a formal contract, an auto-renew clause is buried in the terms and conditions. In addition to selling services that appear to be basically useless because they are expensive and provide little to zero value in terms of ROI, Yellow Pages now gets the people they call into verbally agreeing to contracts without those people necessarily realizing it. Often, those people are asking for us to put them in touch with other people who have commented on this post so they can try to get a lawsuit going.

Choose according to your jumper wire connectors. Pin headers come in male or female version. You could use any kind of wire but jumper wires (also called DuPont wires) are more practical than soldering and desoldering. At worst, you could get away with holding the headers tightly with jumper wires in pin holes during flashing but it is not a foolproof process and flashing might fail. If you're intimidated by soldering there are 3D printed jigs available for different modules and devices. If you're new to soldering check out some soldering tutorial videos while you're at it. To solder you'll of course need a soldering iron, soldering tin and some flux. A PC power supply can be a source for 3.3V DC power.ĭevices with an USB upload port typically have a serial programmer built in, such as NodeMCU, D1 mini or M5Stack products. When using an external 3.3V supply, ensure the ground (GND) of both are connected together, this ensures a common ground. The ESP requires at least 150mA, many 3.3V serial programmers cannot supply this much current as many serial programming tasks do not require a large amount of power. Many serial programmers do not have a voltage regulator on board like the pictured ones. You MUST make sure the data (RX and TX) and VCC pins are set for 3.3V. Some adapters can be switched between 3.3V and 5V for the data pins, but still provide 5V on the power pin which will irreparably destroy your device. NodeMCU You can also use a NodeMCU (or similar) as a reliable serial programmer if you disable the onboard ESP by bridging GND to the RST or EN pin, and connect TX and RX straight to another ESP82xx instead of crossed.CP2102 or PL2303 - works with certain devices, but using an external 3.3V supply might be necessary.RECOMMENDED VoltLink - USB to serial adapter board based on the popular CP2102N chip with built-in ESP auto-reset circuitry and a 500mA voltage regulator.RECOMMENDED CH340G is the most reliable and the cheapest one to boot ( CH340G, Sparkfun, Soldered Connect, CH340N with AMS1117).You must ensure that the device receives sufficient power (current AND appropriate voltage level) to properly flash the firmware on the device. The power supplied to the device is one of the most important elements for both flashing the device and for stable operation.

If, instead, we roll a ball down a slope, the kinetic energy is in two forms, linear kinetic energy but also rotational kinetic energy, which is given by The gravitational potential energy is converted to linear kinetic energy as the ball drops by the time the ball hits the bottom of its fall all of the PE has been converted to KE. Where is the mass of the ball and is its velocity (which is increasing all the time as it falls and speeds up). But, in the case of the ball dropping vertically, the kinetic energy is all in the form of linear kinetic energy, given by This is the same as when the ball drops vertically. When it starts rolling down the slope, this gravitational potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. When a ball rolls down a slope, it starts off at the top of the slope with gravitational potential energy. But, what about if we roll the two balls down a slope? If we build a track to keep them going straight, will a tennis ball roll down a slope at the same rate as a cannon ball? The answer is no, and I will explain why. This fact, contrary to the teachings of Aristotle, was one of the key breakthroughs which Galileo made in our understanding of motion. With a tennis ball and a cannon ball, they clearly have very different masses (weights), but will fall to the ground at the same rate. Galileo supposedly showed this idea by dropping objects of different weights from the tower of Pisa (although he probably never did this, see our book Ten Physicists Who Transformed Our Understanding of Reality). This is despite their having very different masses (weights). ![]() We all know that, if you drop two balls, say a tennis ball and a cannon ball, they will hit the ground at the same time. ![]() It is an interesting question, because it illustrates some things which are not immediately obvious. The other week I was asked to explain how a cylinder (or ball) rolling down a slope differs from e.g. In the outer suburbs, where land values are lower, some bulky goods retail outlets would be converted to industrial use “over time”. Speaking at the AFR Property Summit in December, ESR Australia CEO Phil Pearce said land next to some shopping centres could make way for smaller warehouses or dark stores (warehouses for click-and-collect only) rather than be developed into additional retail space. “You’d be able to have an aggregated click-and-collect point at each one of the centres to be able to facilitate that.” “My ambition would be that we have all stores in Westfield available on Westfield Direct,” Scentre Group boss Peter Allen told The Australian Financial Review this week. “Woolworths and Coles are using our centres for last-mile fulfilment, both for pick-up and home delivery,” said SCA chief financial officer Mark Fleming.Īlso seeing the opportunity created by online shopping has been Westfield mall owner and operate Scentre Group, which has been expanding its Westfield Direct click-and-collect service. The Clayton experience centre will look similar to a Toys R Us retail store.

"Business owners shouldn't sell toys that are physically or mentally harmful to minors," said the Administration for Industry and Commerce of Chengdu, in the provincial capital of Sichuan. A total of 3,973 officers seized 528 crossbows in the Zhejiang province, according to CNN. The Chinese government has cracked down on these popular toys, with police now raiding toy shops to confiscate the devices, CNN reported. The products have yet to take off in the United States, but have become a huge fad in China, where kiosks near elementary schools sell the toys for as little as $1, CNN reported. Tests conducted by the Shanghai Daily newspaper showed the crossbows easily piercing cardboard and popping balloons.Īnd because these toys can be hidden, kids can take the crossbows into locations, such as schools, where traditional projectile-firing toys (other than a slingshot) could not be concealed for long. Videos online show that these projectiles not only have a large range, but can also pierce the flesh of an apple. As a result, unlike traditional crossbows, the new toys can fit in one hand and be fired single-handed they can launch projectiles as far as 30 to 40 feet (9.1 to 12.2 meters), according to. The products work like traditional crossbows, only smaller. ![]() Though Ahmad was not available at press time, Aboud offered a preview of what to expect at his brother’s place.
