Greek Philosopher
Lived in Athens all his life
Socrates married a woman named Xanthippe and they had three children named Lamprocles, Sophroniscus and Menexenus
He worked as a mason, which was the same job his father had
Socrates served in the armored infantry of Greece
Important Contributions
Met people in the streets and marketplaces and started conversations about various topics
He never wrote down any of his thoughts, but Plato (one of his pupils) did
His Ideas
He used
to clarify ideas and arrive at an agreement to the meaning of terms and an understanding of how the concepts functioned in a persons search for a "good life". This became known as the Socratic Method
He believed that his pupils knew the answers to the questions they asked, but that they needed help finding them in their minds.
The Trial
In 399 BCE at the age of about 70 he was put on trial and charged with two crimes
He was put in front of a jury of 501 people
The accusers felt Socrates crimes were so serious, that they demanded the death penalty
Punishment for a crime is the cure of evil, and justice leads to that punishment
Punishment is not the only cure for evil
It is just to do good to our friends when they are good and harm to our enemies when they are evil
Virtue is a form of knowledge
He believes this is the greatest importance to seek answers to questions like:
What is courage?
What is
Finding the answers to both these questions we would have all we need to live our lives
He believed love was a spirit person who is not good
He thought the spirit would pursue the good by seeking beautiful bodies, beautiful practices, beautiful learnings, and true beauty
When love finds these things it will provide the good, love is attempting to pursue
Courage, temperance, justice, and piety are the 4 types of virtue
Since Socrates believes virtue is a form of knowledge, this raises an important question:
Are each of the virtues a form of knowledge, and is it possible to acquire knowledge of one of the virtues and not the others?
First charge
He was accused as a "criminal who corrupts the young"
Socrates claimed this wasn't true and that people were envious because he had exposed their ignorance through the process
He asked why would he deliberately harm young men when he knew anyone he injured would injure him back
He was found guilty by a vote of 281 - 220 and he had to pay a small fine as punishment
Second Charge
Accusers claimed that Socrates "does not believe in the Gods whom the state believes in, but other new spiritual things instead"
Socrates said this didn't make sense because his accusers said he was an atheist, yet the charge said he believed in "new spiritual things"
Socrates felt he was fulfilling the law by encouraging people to lead good lives
He was found guilty by a vote of 361 - 140 and was sentenced to the death penalty
Personal Life
Question 1
Question 3
Question 2
Question 4
Question 5
Socrates believes that one has a moral obligation to obey the law, but disobedience does not destroy the law.
Do you believe we have a moral obligation to obey the law, and do we have precautions in case people do disobey the law? If so what are they and are they effective?
We believe that people have a moral obligation to obey the law of the society they are in at all times. We definitely have precautions in case people break the law, such as jail, fines, etc. In our opinion these punishments are effective in a lot of cases, but people still continually break the law. Having said that no matter what punishments are invoked their will always be people who deviate and break the law.
Why do you think the accusers of Socrates wanted him sentenced to the death penalty for his crimes?
We believe that the jury and his accusers wanted to set an example out of him because they were not used to people openly expressing their opinions. Meaning Socrates was very public about the way he felt and why he felt that way; he did not mind if his opinions targeted anyone in particular.
Also his accusers were most likely people he targeted, so the sentence also could have been a way to get back at Socrates.
Socrates believed that it is just to do good to our friends when they are good and harm to our enemies when they are evil.
Do you agree with this statement? Why or why not? And if we implement this in the law is the death penalty a valid punishment?
Socrates preparing to drink Hemlock after trial
By: Taivon Radcliffe, Dominique Brewster, and Habiba Shaheen
In a perfect world, everyone would treat others the way they wanted to be treated, and everyone would be kind to one another. Since we obviously do not live in a perfect world, we believe that it is not anyone's job to seek revenge on someone else for doing something wrong. Many people believe in karma and that could be their way of getting revenge (without actually doing anything themselves). In the end we should behave the way we want to and treat others kindly despite the way they choose to treat us because, like we said before it is not our job to harm people that are evil towards others. In terms of the law we do not believe in the death penalty because like Canadian law we believe in rehabilitation over retribution.
If Socrates was not sentenced to the death penalty for his crimes what do you think would have happened to the society?
For example: Would more people voice their opinion? Would the dynamic of power switch? Would their be freedom of voice?
Do you think Socrates' way of sharing his beliefs were effective?
In what ways was it effective? (Keep in mind the time period)
We believe the whole dynamic of power would have changed because Socrates would have been able to say what he felt with no consequences, so other people might have decided to do the same. We also think their might have been freedom of voice because that is exactly what Socrates would have gotten away with.
Lastly it would mean that the jury was not afraid to go against what the accuser thought of Socrates because in both charges they would have voted in favour of Socrates.
We believe for his time period it was very effective, but their may have been some ways to make it more effective. It could have been more effective for example if he was able to voice his opinion without breaking the law or targeting anyone (specifically his superiors) that would have been better for him. People would have gotten the same message without him being sentenced to the death penalty. At the same time Socrates wanted his opinions heard and he would not have been able to voice his opinion the way intended if he was worried about his superiors.
Legal Obligation
Two reasons we obey the law
One has a moral obligation to obey the law, but disobedience does not destroy the law

"The software industry is vast, and different parts of it will experience different risks. For example, if you're trying to sell software in a market that has been dominated by hardware solutions – disrupting established technology – then your biggest risk is "guilty until proven innocent." The customer assumes your software is at fault when it's most likely a hardware configuration issue. This most often occurs when a customer is trying to adopt a disruptive technology and "just wants to test it." In these suboptimal environments, every time something goes wrong, the software is blamed. As new technology is introduced into legacy architecture, it will be important for the software industry to be able to help customers with all issues, even if the software is innocent. – Avinash Lakshman, CEO and founder, Hedvig.

Where Do You Go to Get Cool?
According to the handy temperature widget on my computer screen, it's 91 degrees in Albuquerque right now. Not like I needed the computer to tell me it's a hot one. I learned it firsthand when getting in my car after lunch and practically losing a layer of skin to the scalding hot interior.
A hot-as-a-blow-dryer-in-the-face sort of day makes me long for one place: a dark, cold movie theater. Plied with popcorn and plenty of icy cold soda, a theater's refrigerated air takes the edge off—so much so, you sort of look forward to going outside and shedding your goosebumps.
But watching back-to-back movies purely to cool down isn't exactly the most practical thing to do, so I'm on the search for other options. The pool? A coffee shop? The mall? Where do you go to get cool in Albuquerque?

Before I had a child I would have been right there with you at the movies. But back to back movies are not something that appeals to a 4 yr old. So we usually head to the Natural History Museum, Explora, the Pool or up Sandia Peak.
Anna ShawverJuly 7, 2009
On a hot day I cool off sitting in my backyard drinking a cool, refreshing Margarita made with Santa Fe Mixes All-Natural Margarita Mix and listening to the sound of our waterfall and some jazz
QurmudjinJuly 7, 2009
Any small parcel of shade will do. Expect any shade which has been around for more than a half an hour or so to be at least 4º cooler.
BarberJuly 7, 2009
When the temperature rises, I like to lace up the sneakers and stroll through a cool, shaded flower garden.
estellaJuly 7, 2009
I like the museum too. The Albuquerque Art Museum is nice and cool, has great art and history, and a nice cafe too.
Art galleries are also good places to go. Plus they sometimes have complimentary drinks and refreshments so you can score a snack too!

Our family loves the city's pools, and a favorite is the little known Rio Grande Pool. (I almost hate telling you about it). It's just north of the zoo, and has a shady tree area we can hang out on.
Here's another ABQ secret: go shopping at ABQ Uptown and take the kids. There's a wonderful squirt plaza where they can take off their shoes and run, play, get wet, whatever. On summer weekends there is often a musician there to entertain with kids' music. Take in lunch at one of the many restaurants, or head over to the Apple store….great family fun.
MelodyJuly 8, 2009
I love to go to the Aquarium and watch the big tank, its dark, its cool, and relaxing. Otherwise I head to the Pecos.
Nina BaldwinJuly 10, 2009
Out here in Rio Rancho we head over to the new Loma Colorado Library…big, beautiful, full of interesting stuff…and very cool!!
Also, the beautiful new aquatic center is lots of fun!
When in Albuquerque we head down to Old Town to the KISS Cafe…they make great fresh-squeezed lemonade…and Patio Escondido is beautiful this time of year!!
Fun stuff in the big city!!

The day before Thanksgiving may be one of the busiest at airports across the U.S., but don't expect to find Kate Hudson stuck behind that pesky TSA line. On Tuesday, the blonde bombshell took to Instagram to show us all just how much fun she's having on vacation with her family.Hudson posted a too-cute photo of herself clad in a bikini with four other friends and family members, all seated in chairs dipped into the ocean shore. "#FamilyTime" she simply wrote alongside a heart emoji as the caption for the picture.
Hudson of course shows off her toned legs, but the athletic actress also appears to be holding onto a paddleboard and is seated right next to a board, a sign that she's taking an adventurous, sporty approach to taking time off. So where exactly is the svelte star? While she hasn't exactly revealed the location of her family's holiday escape, she did take to the social media platform three days ago to reveal that she's somewhere near a sea to celebrate her mother Goldie Hawn's 70th birthday with her brothers.
RELATED: Kate Hudson on Why She Gives Back: "I Want to Be a Role Model for My Kids"
Since then, she's also posted picturesque images of the ocean and the desert.

Russia's Southern Military District announced on Monday that a new CBRN defense unit was established in Sevastopol, Republic of Crimea.
The armed regiment contains approximately 200 units of weaponry and military equipment, including a modern CBRN reconnaissance vehicle based on the BTR-80 armored carrier. Other equipment in the unit includes machines for thermal treatment of weaponry and military equipment, smoke-screen vehicles and other advanced equipment models, RIA Novosti reports.
"A new unit within the structure of the Black Sea Fleet has been established and has started its designated duties of CBRN defense, which based on its potential, can fully meet the needs of military units and formations in Crimea in its current state," Col. Igor Gorbul said, according to RIA Novosti.
Gorbul said the unit is staffed with draftees and contracted soldiers.
"In August, the personnel of the unit will hold field exercise, which will be held at the Opuk training area (in Republic of Crimea)," Gorbul said, according to RIA Novosti. "During the training, the military staff will practice in conducting CBRN reconnaissance and in eliminating sources of conditional radiation contamination in unfamiliar terrain. Particular attention during the month-long training will be given to masking troops and facilities with aerosol."
The Republic of Crimea was previously an autonomous republic within Ukraine before it voted to rejoin Russia in a referendum. Crimea's integration process is expected to be complete by January 1, RIA Novosti reports.

Eleven house-hunters are fighting for every home on the market after the stock available for sale plummeted to an 11-year low.
The National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) warned that the situation had reached "crisis point" and first-time buyers were being squeezed out.
The figures compares with a high point in supply in 2008, when there were two buyers for every house on the market. Last year there were about eight buyers per property available. In January 2004, there were an average of 15 house-hunters for every home.
The figures from the NAEA also indicate that the average number of properties available at estate agents stands at 38, equalling the low of 2004.
In the last month alone, supply of available housing fell by a third from 55 per branch in July.
With supply unable to keep up with demand, first-time buyers are increasingly finding themselves squeezed out of the market.
Sales to people trying to get a foot on the housing ladder last month fell to the lowest level since July 2014, with just one in five sales being made to first-time buyers.
Mark Hayward, managing director of the NAEA, said the situation was "reaching crisis point".
"First-time buyers are finding themselves being squeezed out of the competition, which of course means it's taking young buyers longer to get their foot on the first step of the ladder, which will in turn increase pressure on the rental market."
"Fewer properties available results in higher prices and it is a vicious circle," said Paula Higgins, chief executive of the HomeOwners Alliance.
"It is inevitable that fewer homes for sale bumps up the price.
"This is the result of not building enough homes for 30 years. Government needs to get to grips urgently to tackle this acute shortage by building new homes."
The decline in sales to first-time buyers comes despite the efforts of the Government's Help to Buy scheme, which offers a mortgage with just a 5 per cent deposit and provides loans to buyers of new-build homes.
A spokesman for the Departments for Committees and Local Government was working hard to increase the supply of housing.
"The 2008 economic crash devastated the house building industry, leading to the lowest levels of starts for any peacetime year since the 1920s," the spokesman said.
"We have got Britain building again, with housing completions at their highest annual level and nearly 800,000 homes built since 2009.
"We are planning to build 200,000 Starter Homes across the country, which will enable young first-time buyers to buy a home at a 20 per cent discount."

In today's busy world, FBO Owners and managers face increasing challenges at every turn. And in recent years, one of the most significant challenges has been to ensure that an FBO's or Ground Handling company's ground support personnel are trained and certificated to meet the FAA's mandates for compliance with 14 CFR 139.321 (handling and storing of hazardous substances including aviation fuels).
At Aviation Training Academy, we now offer FAA-approved on-line training services that will enable every FBO Owner, Manager, or Supervisor to receive the required training as well as continuing education for professional ground support personnel, supervisors, and managers.
Aviation Training Academy is headed by the team of Walter Chartrand, DeborahAnn Calvalcante, and David Ware; three of the industry's most experienced training professionals. More information
ATA's unique, one-of-a-kind on-line programs are designed to certify Line Service Technicians and Line Service Supervisors in all aspects of 14 CFR 139 and Fuel Safety Training. ATA's programs also provide curriculums for certification in Self-Fueling Operations, International Ramp Agent, and Line Service Leadership (for supervisors and managers). We also offer a "How To" course on Preparing for a 14 CFR 139.321 Audit.
At ATA, our system is unique, cost effective, and unlike anything else offered in the industry today.
Until now, the only alternative has been to invest in a complete package of expensive course materials on a cost per student basis. The problem is that when a trained employee leaves the company, your investment is lost. At ATA, we've developed our on-line training programs to meet the needs and budget of a wide range of aviation business owners and employees.
Our System Works:
- Invest as you go in new hire training. Each course is priced independently.
- Train to Retain Structure.
- Standardization of Training with a flexible format.
- Easy and convenience to train on your schedule.
- Eliminates travel expenses associated with our competitors' courses.
For more information about our FAA-approved on-line training services, contact us at (TBA) ……

Should More NFL Players Seriously Consider Retiring Because Of The Tragic Death Of Junior Seau?
Jacob Bell made a decision recently and it was probably the hardest decision he's ever going to have to make. The NFL offensive lineman, who recently signed a deal with the Cincinnati Bengals, decided to retire, effective immediately, in order to preserve his health rather than to continue his football career. And, shortly after announcing his intent to retire, he admitted that he was making that decision partly due to the tragic death of Junior Seau that took place last week.
What makes Bell's decision so interesting is that he's not currently injured in any way. He hasn't suffered a ton of concussions in his career (although he does admit that he's been hit in the head plenty of times). He hasn't spent the majority of his career of the injured reserve list. And, frankly, we hadn't even heard of Bell until this week when he made his announcement because he hasn't gotten a lot of press for any of the injuries that he has suffered during the course of his career. So, it's not like the's making this decision because he's already seeing what football could do to his long-term health. Rather, he's making it because he saw what happened to Seau—how football seemed to affect his health so much that he decided to take his own life—and he decided to make a judgment call based on a gut feeling that he has with concern to his health.
"We have so much to look forward to after we're done with football," he said on ESPN's Outside THe Lines on Wednesday, "that, you know, to have something like the brain trauma and the CTE stuff [Ed. note: CTE is a neurological disorder that stems from repeated head trauma.] is such a factor. For me, it was a big consideration."
But, will it become a big consideration for other NFL players, too? Right now, probably not. Although hundreds of football players put their bodies and their minds at risk every year simply by setting foot on the football field, most of them have an "it won't happen to me" attitude when it comes to long-term health risks. That's not to say that they're not worried about their health. But, they get caught up in the moment and worry more about now than the future. And, as a result, there aren't going to be many football players out there who will be willing to play the "what if?" game, quit the NFL, and give up millions of dollars simply because they might have health problems one day.
Some football players out there should consider calling it quits before they're forced to do so, though. Rather than hang out in the league for years and years past their prime, NFL players should think about exactly how they want to leave the game of football and have a plan in place. They don't all have to do what Jacob Bell just did. But, they should take a look at the tragedy involving Junior Seau and factor that into their decision when thinking about retirement. Because, while an extra one or two million dollars in the bank is nice, is it really worth it if it means that, one day, you won't even remember your own name? Probably not. And that's what Bell seems to want to avoid, even if it means he has to make the hardest decision he's ever going to have to make.

text: So I was running HBC 1.06 forever and kept denying the 1.08 updates because I guess I thought if it's not broken why fix it. Well yesterday I decided to update to 1.08 and now when I boot up I get the normal Bootmii screen and I have it set to boot directly into the HBC but when it's finished with it's 5 or 10 seconds on the bootmii menu it now just goes to a black screen and sits there. I can however use the bootmii menu to boot into the system menu and access the HBC from there and everything seems to be working fine. I can play games with usbloadergx with no issues it just doesn't boot anymore like it used to and how I would like it to. Any ideas? Thanks

Dear Sports Fan,
I had no idea the Women's World Cup was upon us. Give me the breakdown – who are the top teams? Where is the Cup being held? Are there any channels showing it in the US?
Penalty Kick
Dear Penalty Kick,
The Women's World Cup is indeed upon us. This quadrennial[1] competition pits the best 16 women's national soccer teams against each other over three weeks. It began on June 26 and will conclude on July 17. It is being held in Germany with games in nine arenas throughout the country.
The women's tournament has a lot in common with the men's. To start with, just qualifying for the tournament is a great achievement for many countries. The qualification games have been going on since April 2009! The tournament is divided into two stages. In the first stage or group stage, the 16 qualifying teams get split up into four groups of four. Each team plays every other team in the group. A win is worth three points, a tie worth one, and a loss none. At the end of the group stage each team will have played three games. The two teams in each group with the most points will move on to the next stage. As you can imagine, with only eight possible point totals[2] it is pretty usual to have some teams tied at the end of the group stage. Luckily there is a Byzantine system to settle these situations! There is a hierarchy of eight tie-breaking factors that end with "Drawing of lots by the FIFA Organizing Committee!" The second stage is a pretty straight-forward single elimination tournament between the surviving eight teams.
The host team Germany has won the last two World Cups and they are again the favorites. If they stumble under the pressure, the next most likely teams to take advantage are the Brazilians, the Americans, the Japanese, and the Swedes — believe it or not, people bet on these games! People watch them too! Every game will be televised on ESPN or some ESPN channel.
I love watching women's soccer because… well, I love watching any soccer! The issue of why women's sports are not more popular as spectator sports in our country is a bigger one than you asked me to bite into, but it does seem like soccer translates from men to women better than almost any sport. The rules are exactly the same — the ball the same size, the field the same size, etc. The competition is as fierce and unlike men's soccer, our women actually have a good shot to win! Also there is WAY less diving! The U.S. team played its first game today and won 2-0 over a North Korean team whose coach blamed lightning for his loss in his post-game press conference. Lighting!! The remaining two games in the group stage for the U.S. are Saturday at noon against Colombia and Wednesday July 7 at 2:35 against Sweden. Give them a watch!
Thanks for the question,
Ezra Fischer

Years ago in a bag of ratty old patterns and bits and pieces that I bought from the op shop I found two things that changed my doll making forever.
One was a thin flexible knitting needle gauge that I decided to use as a template for my doll eyes.
A row of perfect little circles in varying sizes that I could use as a stencil to draw the eyes that would be embroidered on to my dolls.
I still use it to this day.
The other thing was this sewing pattern that you see in these pictures.
A doll clothes pattern from the 1960s,
back when I was a little girl playing with dolls.
I had no idea such a thing existed and the fact that with very little adjustment these clothes could fit my dolls was a revelation. I think I have actually made all the styles shown on the pattern though I rarely use it any more as I mostly use patterns I have drafted myself.
So, I have set myself a little doll clothing challenge to make a whole lot of new patterns, things I haven't made before perhaps with techniques I haven't used much and make a whole wardrobe of clothes for an as yet unmade doll.
I have a whole bunch of vintage patterns most of which I have never used and I think that is too bad, I have books with lots of clothing ideas that I look though but have never really studied and that's too bad as well.
It's time to lift my game.
I know even after all these years of sewing I can learn something new from most patterns,
especially the vintage ones.
I will look upon it as Professional Development ( and lots of fun)

Today marks the third anniversary of the worst storm that ever hit Baton Rouge. Katrina's sustained winds in Baton Rouge clicked up to only 45 mph, with gusts at 49 mph, and Andrew, in 1991, recorded 70-mph gusts. Looking back to Hurricane Betsy on Sept. 12, 1965, sustained winds were logged at 58 mph with gusts to 92 mph. Hurricane Gustav blasted our area with the highest sustained winds of any storm recorded in Baton Rouge with sustained winds of 61 mph and gusts measuring 91 mph. Similar to Irene hitting New England last weekend, tree damage and removal and massive power outages lasted for many weeks as Gustav caused $4.3 billion in damage and 48 statewide deaths. Today also marks the half-way point of Hurricane Season 2011.
Fastcast: Returning showers.
Scattered showers. High near 93. Easterly winds 5 mph to 15 mph. Rain chance: 40 percent. Tonight: Scattered showers. Low about 75. Easterly winds 10 mph. Rain chance: 30 percent.

Have you ever felt like your life was a spinning disk, rerunning the same stories and routines of our daily experiences?
Have you ever felt like a whirring disk endlessly spinning endlessly inside a player? As if the events or stories of your life were somehow locked in place, repeatedly playing on and on. With these events spinning around, you may wonder if things could be different. How they could be different. Even if events or circumstances in your life could really change. Also wondering if you could get out of the things or situations which you feel stuck or trapped in. Then finding yourself spinning deeper and deeper into the stories of what happened, why it happened and when it happened. Almost as if these events or circumstances somehow became trophies in need of being guarded or defended.
How many of us love a great story?
Captivating stories welcome us, as listeners and readers, into the vivid realism of their world, their characters, and their adventures. Elements of suspense, drama, comedy, romance and change add to their appeal. The powerfully compelling images of story engage and captivate our attention from beginning to end. Often the impact, the images and the messages of these stories stay with us long after the story is over.
Stories from our parents, grandparents, teachers, books and media productions can consciously and subconsciously influence our decisions and belief's about ourselves and our lives.
Story . . . Life is as it is; change happens. Life will never be the same again. The meaning we add to the events and experiences of our lives.
Stories impact our lives.
People love great stories. By our nature, we crave them and even inhale them like yesterday's air. We listen to them. We read them. We watch them. We tell them. We live them. We tell them again. We tell to others. We tell them to ourselves.
The more we feed a story, the more it becomes a living reality.

For some time now, certain persons have been publishing the most grievous accusations against the superiors of the SSPX to an almost obsessive degree without realising that they themselves have lost contact with reality; they have fallen into errors which I will call "pseudo-anti-liberal", because they pretend to be anti-liberal, though they themselves fall into the very defect they condemn, as wrote St Paul: "Wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou dost the same things which thou judgest" (Rom. 2:1).

A Small Victory As the Appeals Begin
Over the next months we will have our eyes on the Indiana Appeals Court. We will be watching the as the conviction appeals for Blake Layman, Levi Sparks and Anthony Sharp make their way through the system. We have no doubt that these cases will be very interesting to follow and will provide the judges with much to consider.
The supporters of The Elkhart 4 have had their first victory (a very small one) in the appeals court. This victory was in Blake Layman's appeal.
On October 7, 2013 Elkhart County Judge Terry Shewmaker held a final hearing to begin the appeals process for Blake Layman. In that hearing Layman's lawyer Cara Weineke asked Judge Shewmaker to have Blake declared indigent so that she could get copies of the trial transcripts. In an interview with The Indiana Law Review Weineke said "If a person is found indigent, the court may give that person permission to proceed with legal action without having to pay court fees or costs".
On October 11, 2013 Judge Terry Shewmaker ruled against Blake Layman deciding he would need to pay the thousands of dollars for trial transcripts.
On November 1, 2013 the Appeals Court reversed Judge Shewmakers decision allowing Ms. Weineke to get the court records.
This is a good decision. It is important for fair justice that all defendants have the opportunity to appeal their conviction no mater their financial situation. It is very obvious that a 17 year old who has been in county jail for a year and is facing decades in prison does not have the financial capability to pay the thousands of dollars for trial transcripts (apparently it costs $2.80 per page).
The appeals will be long. There will be small set backs and small victories. We are confident and hopeful that the lawyers will argue their cases with skill at vigour. We are confident and hopeful that the judges will listen and consider the arguments of both the state and The Elkhart 4. We are confident and hopeful that the judges will consider all the issues carefully before they release their ruling.
It is nice to have a small victory at the start of a long process.
Here are screen shots from the country court record and the appeals court record showing the ruling of Judge Shewmaker and the ruling of the appeals court.

In recent times, you must have realized that influencer marketing has become very popular as one of the means that is commonly applied digital marketing strategies. But how can you optimize your influencer marketing campaign? In the first place, you will need to know what influencer marketing is all about. Influencer marketing can be defined as the process of empowering users who already have a large and engaged following with your target audience with the aim of producing original content that is more likely going to improve your marketing campaign or your social media visibility.
If you are a marketer who wants to use influencer marketing, read the below tips that give a guideline on how one can run a successful influencer marketing campaign.
1. Properly draw out your objectives
As it is with any other campaign, it is very important that you define what you want to achieve from the onset and have ways on how you can be able to measure and track your progress. For instance, if your goal is to increase your brand awareness, then your aim should be to increase the mentions of your name, the number of people that you reach and the number of times that your content is objectively engaged online.
2. Mark out your target influencers
This can be equated to defining your target market or audience in the ordinary marketing.Here one is required to consider the relevant and targetable demographics. But when it comes to influencers, we are out there looking for individuals who have not only a large but also an engaged following. Typically when you want an influencer who can successfully run your campaign, you are looking at industry leaders and celebrities who have the numbers that can influence a campaign. So in selecting such a person, you should aim at finding somebody who has a large following that can be engaged.
3. Draw a defined budget
When it comes to influencer payment, it is not an area that you want to take that lightly. Depending on the size of your campaign and the engagement experience that you are likely to have, you will realize that some influencers will be willing to help out for free. But to ensure that you are on the safe side and that you are prepared for any eventuality, it is advisable that you have a well defined comprehensive influencer budget.
Another important aspect that you should undertake to ensure that your influencer campaign is successful is drawing a list of potential influencers and conducting research on how best you can engage them.
These are some of the tips that you can implement so that you can run a successful influencer marketing campaign.

Who's behind Elaine Victoria Designs...?
Hello! Welcome to my shop with a growing collection of paper goods, hoping to brighten your day and bring smiles to the faces of your loved ones.
My name is Elaine and Elaine Victoria Designs is my greeting card and stationery design business. First and foremost, I love a good pun and a bad joke and have a real bad potty mouth (my mum is ok with it).
I come from a background in digital marketing & design, and in my spare time I was designing various party invitations and cards for friends.
I've always struggled to find cards that say exactly what was on my mind and conveyed the exact sentiment I wanted to get across to my friends and family. So I started designing my own cards, and Elaine Victoria Designs was born. I hope that through my designs I can make your loved ones laugh, and make your special occasions that extra bit special.
My work is both digital and hand drawn. I usually start by drawing out something by hand, but other times I start from scratch in Illustrator or PhotoShop.
Quality and detail is of the utmost importance to me, and I look for the same qualities in all my suppliers, ensuring I use top quality materials and top professional printers.
I am forever grateful for your interest, your support, and please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

1. How long have you been bartending for?
I have bartended for almost two years now but having said that I was learning about the drinks industry for about a year before while working as a waiter and that included reading books and visiting different bars and I still do that now.
2. How long have you been working at No. 11?
I have worked for No11 all together for a year.
3. What is your favourite part of your job?
The favourite part of my job would have to be challenged by guests to create a new drink based on their liking flavours, favourite spirit, length of the flavours and so on, everyone feels different about their drinks so it's important to get it right.
4. Run us through a typical day as a bartender.
A typical day for me would probably start off with getting the bar ready which is of course the key to running a good bar. In the early hours of the evening our guests start arriving so as a front of house I welcome them to join me at the bar for refreshments before they sit down for dinner, during the dinner service I make sure that all the drinks come out of the bar as they should before getting to the table and sometimes it happens when a guest isn't sure what to drink I'm invited to their table for recommendations which is great pleasure of doing so. In the later hours it's where it gets lively for all of us, the bar fills up quickly with people who come to enjoy a drink and that's when most of the time I spend time with people talking and making cocktails, recommending wines and beers until the last orders are called
5. How do you get inspiration for new cocktails?
The new ideas come to me by knowing what I have on the back bar and knowing what goes well with it, as I mentioned I do also pick up a lot of ideas from the books that I read and the bars that I visit. Then I put some ideas together or decide to tweak it a little bit and after a few attempts of making the drink a new cocktail is born.
6. What is your favourite cocktail to make? And to drink?
One of my favourite drinks to make would have to be martinis, and that is because it takes a precision and right balance of ingredients to get the drink that you want. And also martinis are one of purest and best forms to enjoy your favourite brand spirit of choice.
7. Are there any cocktail trends that we should be aware of this summer?
The top trend in cocktails this summer would be to enjoy the depth of the fruity drinks and that is thanks to the use of bitters which let you to explore the flavours of the drinks without being over sweetened.
8. What is your favourite spirit to work with and why?
Not to sound mainstream but I'll have to say I still have the gin craze and that's because it's a really large category and so many different styles to work with and enjoy.
9. What is the best thing about being a bartender?
The best part of being a bartender is that every day I am trusted to make the guest's night special through the night the second they come in.

Amitayus belongs to the Yoga Tantra. His colour is red and he always holds the long-life vase that sometimes has an Ashoka-tree branch, the tree of life, coming out of it. The vase contains water, saffron, and nectar pills, food of the gods that confers immortality. Amitayus is a central deity in longevity rituals and contemplations.
Amitayus is distinguished from Amitabha Buddha Amitabha is always depicted in Dhyana-mudra, with a pindapatra, and he is a nirmana-kaya,a Buddha with monastic robes. While Amitayus is also shown in Dhyana-mudra, but with an amrita-kalasha filled with ambrosia, nectar pills and topped by a branch of Ashoka tree, symbolizing long life with full of health. He is a sambhoga-kaya with royal ornaments. The conceptualization of enlightenment as a flash of illumination led to the apotheosis of infinite as Amitabha. An important function of deities is healing and long life. His healing aspect was apotheosized Amitayus. Amitayus Buddha is invoked to cure a person in ill-health, but on death he went to the world of Amitabha. Amitabha resides in the Western Paradise of Sukhavati but Amitayus has no specific heaven and he is placed on an abstract plane.
Thus Amitayus or Infinite Life is a deity parallel to but independent of Amitabha. In the Tibetan tradition he has been clearly distinguished from Amitabha, both iconographically and philosophically. In India, in the Buddhists Sanskrit literature, Saddharmapundarika-sutra, and Sukhavati-vyuha,Amitabha and Amitayus are mentioned indiscriminately. Even Sadhanamala, has not clearly distinguished them. The Tibetan Buddhist tradition credits the distinctive entity of Amitayus to the Indian teacher Tiphu who revealed it to Ras-chun-grags-pa who diffused his worship in the Land of Snows. In the Japanese tantric denomination of Shingon, Amitayus (Japanese Muryoju) belongs to the Garbhadhatu-mandala and Amitabha (Japanese Amida) to Vajradhatu-mandala. Lokeshchandra, assigned distinction between Amitabha and Amitayus to the seventh century A.D.
The thangkas and sculptures of Amitayus Buddha and properly worshipped in Tibet, Mongolia, China, Korea and Japan mainly because of the firm faith of the people in his powers of prolonging life, as the absolute symbols of Infinite (amita) Life (ayus). A sacrament to Amitayus Buddha is celebrated on an auspicious day for life everlasting. Devotees throng to the temple to receive blessings. Every village performs it at least once a year for the life of the community.
In this black esoteric painting Amitayus Buddha is seated in vajraparyankasana on a lotus base. He holds the long-life vase with an Ashoka tree emerging from the top. His colour is red, he wears ornaments of Bodhisattva, a crown, floral silk scarves and dhoti. There is an aureole, surrounded with plants, and halo behind his body and head, respectively. Amitabha Buddha is seated on top centre in clouds with rainbow light. The bottom centre depicts auspicious offerings, placed on a lotus emerging from a lake. The painting is brilliantly drawn and painted; it is very much suitable for sadhana and practice of Amitayus Buddha.

Last time, Ms. Lost wished her final farewell to Maelstrom. Congratulations to Jody W.! (PS: we loved seeing everyone's stories about the attraction too!)
Ms. Lost found these unique mounds while riding on this attraction. Where can you find her?
If you think that you can help, please email your answer to: email@example.com
Send in your guess by October 25. Please be as specific as possible, noting not only the park but the specific ride, attraction, or section where the picture was taken. For instance, instead of saying, "Epcot," say, "At Epcot at Maelstrom" (which isn't this week's answer). One random entry from all correct entries will receive a Disney trading pin.See Lost photos from past issues.

Mrs. Baker, our literacy partner, read A Teacher For Bear. It was about a bear expecting to get one teacher and then getting a different one because they had so many kindergarteners. Sounds familiar! It also talked about being your own self and learning to accept differences.

Halloween is such a fun time for adults and children alike. This is the time of year when you get to dress up like somebody you're not, or somebody you want to be. For adults it's dress up time for the great parties.
For the kids its parties, and then the day they have been waiting for Trick or Treating, Oh the fun we all have! As a grandparent this is really an exciting time of year for me, with the Halloween parties my son and his wife have, to watching the kids dress up for all of the fun.
Every year my daughter comes to our house with the boys to take them Trick or Treating in our neighborhood. My wife is always prepared, as she decorates the house, makes dinner, cookies and treats for everybody. After all of that fun, it is time to dress up.
How about a Power Ranger costume for the adventurous one in the family or this cute monkey costume for the little one.
Our daughter-in-law Tricia is very creative; as she made this adorable little witches costume herself.
Who wouldn't give this adorable little witch some treats!
Who remembers Pac-Man? It was one of the first video games to come out. How I remember the hours that I spent playing this game. What a cute one this is.
Then there is always the little monster costume, what little one doesn't think about being a monster.
These are just some of the costumes we have had over the past few years.
If you are looking for kid's costumes or even adult costumes I have found a great source for Halloween costumes that I am sure you will like. So don't wait until the last minute take a look at these adorable costumes.

ROCKLAND — Surgeons in Boston are attempting to reattach a 5-year-old Maine boy's hand after he lost it in a freak accident.
Police said the boy had one end of a jump rope wrapped around his wrist and the other end dangling out the window while riding in the back seat of his grandmother's car in downtown Rockland on Tuesday night.
Authorities told the Bangor Daily News that as another vehicle passed by the car, the rope got caught up on the other vehicle, pulling the rope and severing the boy's hand.
The child was taken to Pen Bay Medical Center in Rockport before being driven to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. A medical helicopter could not be used because of poor weather conditions.
Police aren't releasing the boy's name.

text: The top drawing is from LISE. She bought me a huge bag of JELLY BELLY jelly beans! Thus the goldfish with the bag of jelly beans. Oh, and the reason for the goldfish is because that is the production we are currently working on. ALAINE's drawing is hillarious. I just got the joke now. The jelly belly reference is obvious. But why the French beret on my head and the French bread under my arm? ...because I was born in Toulouse France!!! Those are my big round human fly sun glasses. The birthday wish from CARLOS is self explanatory. I don't know who drew the fish with bomb on his head. My guess is, it is a reference to the recent uproar about that cartoonist that drew Muhammed with a bomb on his head. But I do not worship goldfish.

PEMBERVILLE – Eastwood started fast, withstood a furious Evergreen rally, and finished faster with a game ending 31-9 run to take a 67-41 win in the Vikings girls basketball season opener Saturday.
The Eagles blew out to an 11-0 lead in the first two minutes started by a Jamie Schmeltz triple, and ended with the 5'10" sophomore finishing on a fastbreak. Hannah Herr's pair of hoops helped keep the Vikings within 13-6 but the Eagles rang off the next 10 as Schmeltz and Sydney Abke each hit a three-ball, Schmeltz a pair from the foul line, and Jaylee Souder with a layup in transition for a 23-6 lead before Bailee Sutter scored just before the buzzer for the Vikes.
That basket started a 14-0 Viking run as Savannah VanOstrand nailed a triple, Jamie VanLoocke scored off the offensive glass, Abi Borojevich hit a spinning bank shot, Sutter scored again inside and Mady Peluso went left-right-left down the key to close the gap to 23-20 with 5:19 left in the half.
After Schmeltz scored off a steal, one of 22 first half Viking turnovers, Kelsie Komisarek and Herr hit back-to-back threes' to give the Vikes a 26-25 lead.
One more steal and score by Schmeltz gave Eastwood a 29-26 halftime lead.
Morgan Rost and Kelley Turk hit triples early in the third to get Eastwood back to a 36-29 lead.
Herr's left-handed drive and a free throw from VanOstrand chopped that lead to 36-32, but that would be as close as Evergreen could get as 13 more second half turnovers and 6 for 23 from the floor doomed the Vikings the rest of the way.
Eastwood put the game away with a 12-0 game-ending run that included five cherry pick baskets from Schmeltz and Rost.
Schmeltz scored 29 to lead the Eagles while Herr had 18 for Evergreen.
The Vikings play Otsego at home Tuesday evening.

Hammond mistrial could affect another case
Hammond mistrial could affect another case
LOUISVILLE, Ky. —
A mistrial in a high-profile murder case could have an effect on a convicted killer's case.
The attorney for Steven Pettway said she has contacted his appellate attorney.
The two are now exploring avenues for his release.
Last summer, a jury found Pettway guilty in the 2009 shooting death of Troya Sheckles at Shelby Park.
Prosecutors maintain Dejuan Hammond hired Pettway to kill Sheckles to prevent her from testifying against his brother in another murder case.
Hammond's case ended in a mistrial Tuesday after the judge learned the prosecution had just turned over a witness statement to the defense.
Pettway's attorney also did not receive that evidence before his trial.

I had a close encounter with this fox on the cliffs last Summer, but he was away before i could get my camera unpacked.
Then during the Winter i saw it's trail through the snow in the same area.
So i knew he hunted in that cliff area.
At this time of year Fulmars will be high on the menu because they nest high on the cliff face where the fox can reach them.
Today i was a bit quicker with the camera and manage a few shot as he made his way toward the cliff edge.
Most farmers would probably like to be a lot quicker with the shotgun.

In the decades since the draft ended in 1973, a strange new military has emerged in the United States. Think of it, if you will, as a post-democratic force that prides itself on its warrior ethos rather than the old-fashioned citizen-soldier ideal. As such, it's a military increasingly divorced from the people, with a way of life ever more foreign to most Americans (adulatory as they may feel toward its troops). Abroad, it's now regularly put to purposes foreign to any traditional idea of national defense. In Washington, it has become a force unto itself, following its own priorities, pursuing its own agendas, increasingly unaccountable to either the president or Congress.
Three areas highlight the post-democratic transformation of this military with striking clarity: the blending of military professionals with privatized mercenaries in prosecuting unending "limited" wars; the way senior military commanders are cashing in on retirement; and finally the emergence of US Special Operations Command (SOCOM) as a quasi-missionary imperial force with a presence in at least 135 countries a year (and counting).
The All-Volunteer Military and Mercenaries: An Undemocratic Amalgam
I'm a product of the all-volunteer military. In 1973, the Nixon administration ended the draft, which also marked the end of a citizen-soldier tradition that had served the nation for two centuries. At the time, neither the top brass nor the president wanted to face a future in which, in the style of the Vietnam era just then winding up, a force of citizen-soldiers could vote with their feet and their mouths in the kinds of protest that had only recently left the Army in significant disarray. The new military was to be all volunteers and a thoroughly professional force. (Think: no dissenters, no protesters, no antiwar sentiments; in short, no repeats of what had just happened.) And so it has remained for more than 40 years.
Most Americans were happy to see the draft abolished. (Although young men still register for selective service at age 18, there are neither popular calls for its return, nor serious plans to revive it.) Yet its end was not celebrated by all. At the time, some military men advised against it, convinced that what, in fact, did happen would happen: that an all-volunteer force would become more prone to military adventurism enabled by civilian leaders who no longer had to consider the sort of opposition draft call-ups might create for undeclared and unpopular wars.
In 1982, historian Joseph Ellis summed up such sentiments in a prophetic passage in an essay titled "Learning Military Lessons from Vietnam" (from the book Men at War):
