Hello, and welcome to Framing Places!
Let me take you on a journey to beautiful and amazing places – from some of the world's busiest cities, all the way to scenic countryside locations.
I am a keen amateur photographer, and I love getting out and about with my camera. Landscapes, cityscapes, wildlife, and the occasional bit of macro are the types of photography I enjoy the most.
Recently my travel schedule has become a little busier than normal and this seemed a perfect opportunity to build a fun photography project around it.
Enjoy browsing the site!

The Theory
There has been a theory floating around that Google is now imposing some kind of penalty on brand new web sites or sites that seem to acquire a large amount of links from other sites in a relatively short period of time. It is being discussed on all the search engine marketing forums. Many articles have been written about it. Even several live examples have been presented by frustrated web site owners and managers who can't seem to understand why their sites will not rank well in the Google search engine results pages (SERPs).
The so-called "sandbox" theory suggests that new sites will be added to the Google index and may even show up for obscure searches such as the company/web site name but will not show well for other phrases that are relevant to the site. It doesn't matter if the site is optimized for the search engines either. In fact, those who have optimized their sites can drive themselves crazy making change after change but to no positive avail.
This theory also suggests that established sites who all of a sudden obtain hundreds or even thousands of links from other sites can be sent to the Google sandbox. Obtaining links in these type of quantities is typically the result of either participating in some sort of link trading scheme or buying multitudes of text links on other sites for the sole purpose of obtaining some of the PageRank value they might pass. This type of scenario goes against the natural process of people linking their web site to another site because they see it as a valuable resource or a favorite site to visit.
Sandbox or Aging Filter?
So if a site is sent to the sandbox by Google either because it is new or it is participating in mass link building, what is the time frame that must pass before the site is allowed out of the box? Most search engine marketers that have been discussing and analyzing this say about 6-8 months. As for myself, I don't actually believe that Google is sending new sites to a "sandbox" but rather they may be applying some sort of aging filter.
Scottie Claiborne of Right Click Web Consulting recently wrote an excellent article on this subject entitled "Google's Aging Delay for New Sites". In a portion of that article, she talks about why such an aging filter might exist. To quote from the article itself:
"My own theory is that the age factor for new sites is Google's answer to mini-networks and other multi-site strategies intended to artificially inflate link popularity. Many
people divide what should be a single site into multiple sites in order to capitalize on the links that are exchanged between them. Others build a series of small sites that are only
designed to add link popularity to the main site.
By delaying the ranking of brand new sites, the mini-network strategy becomes more of a long-term strategy than a quick jump to the top. Site owners who might have started new sites are going to be more inclined to build new pages on existing sites in order to avoid that delay."
This is very good analysis in my opinion. If this indeed be true (Google has yet to say anything on the subject), it is yet another strategy Google has employed in its never-ending war with spammers.
How Do I Play?
So now that we have come to the conclusion that this sandbox, aging filter or whatever you want to call it, actually seems to exist, what can one do that has been affected by it? The answer is "absolutely nothing". That surely is not what many people want to hear and possibly even you the reader question the reasoning of writing an article on the subject if there are no solutions. But wait a minute, there is a solution! It is called patience. Sure that might not be a definite solution to getting one's self out of the sandbox or out from underneath an aging filter. However it will allow them to keep their sanity and in doing so, to look at some alternatives to marketing their sites until the time period lapses. Let us take a look at some of those alternatives.
Pay Per Click
There of course is AdWords, Google's pay per click advertising program. If you have a new site and are finding yourself caught in that aging filter to where your site will not show well in the Google SERPs, why not put aside a budget for an AdWords program? With AdWords, you can instantly gain exposure on Google as well as many search and contextual partner sites. This can bring traffic to your site as a direct result of people searching at Google or one of their search partners such as Ask Jeeves, Netscape, AOL as well as others that display AdWords on their sites.
Sure these will not be the free listings you may get from the organic results of Google but if you watch your bottom line and conversions, you might find that AdWords will bring about a very good ROI. Later on when you start to see your site showing well in the organic results, you can begin to back off of your AdWords campaign. Of course if AdWords is effective for you, you may just well continue both.
Other Search Engines
Don't discount traffic from other search engines such as Yahoo, Ask Jeeves and MSN. If you only focus on Google in your SEO strategy, you might miss valuable traffic that you can receive from these other sites, all of which do not seem to have any type of aging filters. Besides that, sites that have good "on the page" search engine optimization seem to do very well in these engines. Now Ask Jeeves is typically very slow to update its index but Yahoo and MSN are lighting fast about finding new or updated content and including it in their index.
Therefore do not neglect optimizing the various elements of you site's pages that these engines factor in to their algorithms - title tags, meta description tags and the actual html text on your pages. If you optimize these elements properly, you will most likely experience very good placement in these engines and as such will gain a good quantity of visitors.
Take Advantage of Established Sites
One thing we have recently began to test with new sites that we are providing marketing services for is to develop a profile page or pages that will give a brief summary of the client and their product and/or service. These are also optimized to target some of their most important keywords. We will then place this page or pages on an established site such as a directory we own or a case study section on our site - somewhere where it has the possibility of ranking well and sending the client some traffic. When they do finally begin to rank well in Google with their own site, the page or pages are no longer needed and can be removed.
A word of caution here - in doing this we are careful not to simply place duplicate content on another domain. I say that because I don't want people to think I am endorsing duplicate
content or mirror sites. The pages or pages that are created need to be unique and not just copies of their own content.
It is still too early in our testing stage to know how effective this will be. However in the recent past I have seen listings in the SERPs that come from the "Current News" section of our corporate site where we announce new client relationships or directory listings within our own directories. These listings actually show up better than the client's site itself! Most likely, this is a direct result of the fact that our sites are more established than theirs. Of course, this is a temporary solution... not even really a solution but rather a band aid.
Patience Is A Virtue
All in all, be patient. Don't continue to tweak and adjust your site hoping that you changes will thrust you on to the first page. Don't pull all the hair out of your head, cursing Google because they won't allow your site to rank well. Simply accept the fact that if you have a new site, it will take quite awhile before it will rank well in Google. This will allow you to be more at peace with your marketing efforts as well as have the foresight to look at other alternatives.

The Cone brothers came to North Carolina from Baltimore just before the turn of the 20th century because they saw opportunity in the business of transforming cotton from bales of raw fiber to rolls of dyed fabric.
By 1912, they had founded four mills in Guilford County — White Oak Cotton Mill, Proximity Cotton Mill, Revolution Cotton Mill, and Proximity Print Works — and were in the process of transforming Greensboro from a small town laced with dirt roads to a vibrant city of international importance. (White Oak, which opened in 1905 and supplies Levi Strauss & Co., had, by 1908, become the largest denim producer in the world.)
Lillie Mae Crum, now 91, was one of many whose world was shaped by the mills. For 45 years, from 1941 to 1986, she worked in the White Oak weave room, patrolling the aisles between the 54 shuttle looms under her watch, making sure the filling forks stayed clear of lint and that the binders didn't snag.
Sitting at her kitchen table, the North Carolina native recalls the time when her life — like the lives of thousands of others who wove, spun, carded, and dyed — revolved around cotton.
During those years, Crum could produce as many as 2,700 yards — more than a mile and a half — of denim fabric during an eight-hour shift, and she often earned recognition on the company bulletin board for her superlative rate.
"I took great pride in being able to make production and turn out good cloth," Crum says. "I liked seeing the cloth come off the loom perfect, with no bad places."
Though she enjoyed the work, the conditions were challenging. Inside the 1,200-foot-long weave room, the 3,000 looms shuttling back and forth simultaneously produced a deafening clackita-clackita-clackita noise that required employees to stand inches apart and shout, or learn to lip-read, to communicate. To keep the loom threads hydrated, humidifiers periodically sprayed a fine mist over the room, which wasn't air-conditioned until the 1970s. Lint swirled continuously through the air, coating the weavers' hair in a layer of blue fuzz. And the weavers rarely stopped for breaks.
"When the loom stopped, my money stopped," Crum says, "and I didn't go down there for fun."
Originally from Leaksville (now Eden), Crum moved to Greensboro at the age of 3 with her parents in 1926. Her father got a job as a fixer in the spinning room at White Oak, and, in between pregnancies, her mother worked as a weaver.
To supply its employees with everything they needed, the Cones built self-sustaining towns adjacent to each of its Greensboro mills. For 69 cents a week, Crum's family lived in a house in the White Oak village, which contained company-owned schools, several churches, a grocery store, a department store, a medical center, a dry cleaning service, a YMCA, playing fields, a dairy, and a milk delivery service.
As a child, Crum learned to bake lemon cookies and stitch aprons from a company-employed teacher named Minnie Fields. She recalls how the Cones gave each family a turkey for Thanksgiving and a ham at Christmas.
"I've never heard of anyone who cared for their employees like they did," she says.
The oldest of seven children, Crum spent much of her youth helping to raise her siblings. She began working at the age of 9, staying the night with women who didn't want to be alone while their husbands worked third shift.
At 16, she secured a job at the Blue Bell sewing factory and married a man who worked in the White Oak carding room.
Soon after, Crum found work at White Oak herself, keeping the looms supplied with yarn spools for 32 cents an hour. Over the years, she became a weaver (averaging $56 per week in the early 1950s), a weaving teacher, and an industrial engineer tasked with improving weaving room efficiency.
Until Cone Mills began selling off the mill houses in the late 1940s, the Crums and their four sons lived in the White Oak village near where Crum had grown up.
"It was really a community within a community; everybody looked after everybody," she says. "You don't find that anymore."
In recent decades, all of the Greensboro mills have gone out of business except for White Oak. Now owned by International Textile Group, the redbrick factory runs a few hundred of the old shuttle looms, producing denim for high-end companies like Levi's Vintage Denim, Raleigh Denim, Roy, and Jack Spade.
Though working cotton mills no longer dominate the North Carolina landscape, their influence has not diminished. These processors played a tremendous role in Greensboro's development, helping to establish the city's economic base and many aspects of its infrastructure. They enabled several generations to provide their families with security and opportunities they would not have had otherwise. And they defined the people of North Carolina as industrious and tenacious and inextricably linked to the land.
Now, overlooking her backyard garden, where she cares for three chickens and grows tomatoes, beans, squash, and muscadines, Crum articulates the ideals she and her companions developed as temperatures skyrocketed, humidifiers sprayed, and lint flew over the weave room floor.
"Hard work don't hurt nobody," she says. "If you ever expect to have anything, you have to work for it."

USA: defamation lawsuit against TripAdvisor dismissed
TripAdvisor.com provides information on various hotels, resorts and restaurants worldwide. Visitors to TripAdvisor's website can review these businesses by responding to surveys or post comments about their personal experiences. Based on these reviews, TripAdvisor compiles and publishes rankings, categorizing the businesses listed. In 2011 a ranking of "dirtiest hotels" identified the Grand Resort Hotel & Convention Center in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, as the "dirtiest hotel in America".
The propietor of the Grand Resort sued TripAdvisor for defamation and false light, arguing that TripAdvisor's statements were likely to significantly damage his business.
However, in its Judgement of Aug. 22, 2012, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee recently granted TripAdvisor's Motion to Dismiss the defamation lawsuit and held that a reasonable person would view TripAdvisor's "dirtiest hotels" list as merely hyperbolic opinion or rhetorical exaggeration. Reasonable consumers would distinguish between the inherently subjective rankings and objectively verifiable facts.
Case Seaton v. TripAdvisor, LLC, U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee No. 3:11-cv-549 (Phillips)

Apply Grow and Similar Commands to Selections and Save Your Work
The Grow and Similar commands in Photoshop Elements 10 are often used in tandem with the Magic Wand tool. If you made an initial selection with the Magic Wand but didn't quite get everything you want, try choosing Select→Grow.
Grow and Similar commands in Photoshop Elements 10
The Grow command increases the size of the selection by including adjacent pixels that fall within the range of tolerance. The Similar command is like Grow except that the pixels don't have to be adjacent to be selected. The command searches throughout the image and picks up pixels within the tolerance range.
These commands don't have their own tolerance options. They use whatever Tolerance value is displayed on the Options bar when the Magic Wand tool is selected. You can adjust that Tolerance setting to include more or fewer colors.
Save and Load Selections in Photoshop Elements 10
At times, you toil so long over a complex selection that you really want to save it for future use. Saving it isn't only possible, but also highly recommended.
It's also a piece a cake. Here's how:
After you perfect your selection, choose Select→Save Selection.
In the Save Selection dialog box, leave the Selection option set to New and enter a name for your selection.
The operation is automatically set to New Selection.Save your selection for later use to save time and effort.
Click OK.
When you want to access the selection again, choose Select→Load Selection and choose a selection from the Selection drop-down menu.

Keeping tabs on the overall economic climate can help provide valuable insight. Taking a look at the bigger picture can help investors filter down and sort out issues at the sector and individual company level. Making sense of the seemingly endless amount of data can be quite a challenge for the investor. Once investors become familiar with the data, they can start to devise a plan to help use the information to their advantage. Even though thousands of investors will have access to the same set of data, learning how to trade the data can be extremely important.
In order to tell which way a stock is trending, the stock's share price should be compared to its moving average. The stock will be uptrending if it is being traded above its moving averages and downtrending if it is being traded below. The stock stands 27.78% away from its 50-day simple moving average and 29.25% away from the 200-day average. The price currently stands at $16.87.
Let's take a look at how the stock has been performing recently. Over the past twelve months, Sterling Construction Company, Inc. (NASDAQ:STRL)'s stock was 54.91%. 33.25% over the last quarter, and 23.50% for the past six months.
Over the past 50 days, Sterling Construction Company, Inc. stock was -0.94% off of the high and 61.60% removed from the low. Their 52-Week High and Low are noted here. -0.94% (High), 73.74%, (Low).
The RSI (Relative Strength Index), an indicator that shows price strength by comparing upward and downward close-to-close movements is 87.20 for Sterling Construction Company, Inc. (NASDAQ:STRL).
The consensus analysts recommendation at this point stands at 2.00 on this stock. This is based on a 1-5 scale where 1 indicates a Strong Buy and 5 a Strong Sell. The Street has a 25.00 target price on the shares for the next 12-18 months.
Investors are always striving to make wiser decisions when it comes to handling the markets. There are so many options available, and that can make things more complex. Beginning with a solid approach can help ease the investor's initial foray into the stock market. Accumulating market knowledge may take a lot of time and effort. Many investors may find out the hard way that there is no easy way to beat the markets. Many investors are teased with investment tips from friends or colleagues. It can be very tempting to take advice from someone who has a track record of beating the market. However, the old saying remains the same; past results may not indicate future results. Investors may find that doing their own research can provide a huge boost to portfolio performance.

A study conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety into the effectiveness of sophisticated automobile accident prevention and avoidance systems has found that this technology may reduce rear-end collisions in California and around the country by as much as 40 percent. The nonprofit research organization compared the collision rates of cars with no accident avoidance system, those with a system that provided drivers with an audible warning and those with an automatic braking system.
Car accident fatalities on the rise
Many people are killed or seriously injured in California car accidents every year. Though the number of annual traffic fatalities in the U.S. has declined for years, it went up in the first part of 2015. According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration statistics, there were 9.3 percent more traffic fatalities in the first nine months of 2015 than there were in the comparable period in 2014.
Self-driving car software would be the driver, NHTSA says
California residents share the roads with many other drivers, but in the future, cars without drivers may be making up part of the traffic. Google's driverless car passed another hurdle in its campaign for approval when the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration decided that if and when driverless cars are on the roads, the software that controls them would be considered to be the 'driver." The news was given to Google on Feb. 4 via a letter from the NHTSA.
Family claims gas leak caused family members death
On Feb. 2, a California family filed a wrongful death lawsuit claiming that a long-term gas leak from a nearby plant caused an elderly family member's medical problems to become more severe, ultimately leading to her death. Thousands of residents who were living near the Aliso Canyon plant in Porter Ranch have been relocated temporarily due to symptoms suffered as a result of the gas leak.

FUBi fixie - Transform your bike into a folding bike
FUBi folding system
The basic idea with FUBi fixie folding principle is to keep as much of the traditional diamond frame as possible. This allows you to transform your existing full-size bike into a folding bike. This without sacrificing riding performance and looks.
The bike
FUBi fixie is a full-size folding bike with the same looks, price and riding features as a "normal" fixie/bike, yet can be folded with ease for convenient transport and storage. It's a has full-sized 700C wheels.
Transform your bike into a folding bike
FUBi fixie is designed with minimal changes to the existing bicycle design. FUBi uses only standard bicycle parts except for the frame. This allows you to use your own custom parts or any available standard parts.
High performance
Experience the best riding performance among folding bikes. It has the same performance as a normal fixie.
Easy to fold
FUBi is easy to fold without having to use any tools. It can be folded and unfolded in 5-10 seconds. When used as a fixed-gear it rolls on the front wheel when folded. If used as a single gear (with freewheel) it rolls on both wheels.
Patented frame technology
FUBI fixie has the FUBI patented frame technology that utilizes the triangular principle in order to have a very rigid and light frame. The frame is built by using the 4130 chrome molybdenum steel tubing.
Secure locking system
The folding system allows you to lock FUBi in a more secure way. Lock it around a pillar with front wheels, frame and pillar all locked together with a U-lock.
Usually folding bikes are expensive. FUBi fixie offers a competitive pricing that can compete with normal bikes, fixed-gear bikes and single-gear bikes.
Single-speed, fixed-gear or 3 speed hub
The bikes have a front and rear brake and a flip-flop hub. The bike can be used as a single-speed or fixed-gear bike by turning the rear wheel around. There is also a 3 speed freewheel hub option.
Where it fits
FUBi fixie fits folded in elevators, metro, bus and in most cars.
Meet the founders
Fubicom was founded in 2006 by Ulf Laxström. He has developed FUBi compact folding and other bicycle related innovations. He has over 20 years of experience in design and construction. He has over 10 years of experience in building folding bikes
FUBi fixie is a design of Zakarias Laxström. He has been on the FUBi team from its beginning. Zakarias has over six years of experience in different folding bike concepts and is also a professional welder and automation expert.
The basic idea with FUBi fixie was to make minimal changes to the existing diamond frame design. The FUBi fixie combines the best features of a normal fixie and the best FUBi technology.This was made by using the existing patented FUBi technology and then adding some new design aspects in order to get a compact folding frame.
FUBi fixie will be made in scandinavia to ensure the right production quality. The bikes will be manufactured by our manufacturing partner and our team specialized in both manufacturing and bicycles.
Fubi will be made of quality parts.
FRAME FUBi fixie Cr-Mo 4130 frame consisting of five different frame parts: loose free pivots for folding and an extra diagonal part for stability and for quick release on down tube.

Help Promote us and earn money
Risks and challenges
Similar to many crowdfunding projects, we face several risks and challenges in undertaking this next step in the evolution of FUBi. The primary risks for us include:
We have already completed the prototyping and the test phase of the FUBi fixie to our full satisfaction. In the design and construction, we still have some small issues we want to solve in order that the bike functions better. However, we are very confident that we will be able to find the best solutions to solve these issues.
Many crowdfunding campaigns can encounter problems when taking their prototypes to production. Smooth execution is significant to overcome such risks.
The bikes and the frames will be made by the producers we know and trust. We are therefore confident to be able to produce the bikes on time. However, unexpected things can happen sometimes. If there is a delay, it is for a good reason and most likely because we only ship when the bikes fulfill our requirements.
THE FUBi TEAM
Finding the right people is a challenge for any endeavor. Success in this major step of the evolution of FUBi requires a team of talented, passionate and motivated designers, engineers and entrepreneurs.
Fubicom is an existing business run by a small team of real people with a passion and ambition for new, different and innovative solutions in the field of bicycles. Because of the major undertaking, this means for us that we are already actively looking for new members to join us.

Bagshaw Ecology provide great crested newt surveys for planning and development, including walkover surveys, using the Habitat Suitability Index (HSI); presence/absence surveys, using bottle trapping egg searching and torch searching, and eDNA surveys.
Great crested newts are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. As such, they usually need to be considered for any proposed development which requires the removal of a pond, or that is within 500m of a pond.
Our experienced and licensed great crested newt ecologists are on hand to help with any of your requirements regarding great crested newts. For more information, or for a free quotation, please contact us.
A Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) comprises a walkover survey of the site, usually undertaken as part of a Preliminary Ecological Appraisal, which involves an initial assessment of a pond. The pond is assessed using ten factors, including geographic location, water quality and adjacent habitat to determine the likelihood of great crested newts being present. This can then determine if great crested newts are likely to be affected by a proposed development, and if further presence/absence surveys are required.
Presence/Absence surveys for great crested newts involve a combination of methods, including bottle trapping, egg searching, and torch searching. A total of four visits are required between mid-March and mid-June, with at least half the surveys being within the optimum period of mid-April to mid-May. If great crested newts are found to be present, an additional two surveys are required to meet Natural England's criteria for a population size class assessment.
Environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling is a fast and cost effective way to determine the presence or likely absence of great crested newts within a pond. Samples are taken of the pond between 15th April and the 30th June, which are then sent to a laboratory for testing. This then gives a result of either confirmed presence or likely absence. If great crested newts are found to be present using eDNA, further presence/absence surveys are usually required to determine the population size class assessment.

Patong Mayor Chalermluck Kepsab confirmed to The Phuket News yesterday (Oct 19) that following the death of the late His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Loy Krathong festival is cancelled.
"If people wish to do their own Loy Kratong celebrations then they can, but Patong Municiplaity will not been holding any event to mark the occasion, there will be no celebration or music as there has been in the past.
"Those wanting to float Kratongs can do so at the Pak Bang canal," Mayor Chalermluck said.
"In addition, I can also confirm that this year's Patong Carnival has also been cancelled.
Patong Carnival usually marks the start of Phuket's high season of Phuket, and each and every year tourist and locals join and enjoy the elaborate parade, cabaret shows, modern and Thai traditional performance.
"Patong Carnival is not being postponed, there is nothing to celebrate this year. It will be held again next year," said Mayor Chalermluck.
"As for other celebrations in Patong such as the New Year countdown, I believe private businesses in Patong know full well how they should act during this time. However, I will make an official announcement to them next month.
"Regarding National Children's Day, a decision has not yet been reached as to whether any activities will go ahead. Patong municipality will consider about this later," Mayor Chalermluck added.
Phuket Governor Chockchai Dejamornthan added, "People still can float Krathongs, but the fairs will not be happened.
While Anoma Vongyai, Director of Tourism Authority of Thailand(TAT), Phuket Office said, "Loy Krathong celebrations at Srisoonthorn, Chalong, Rawai, Kathu and Patong have been cancelled by their respective municipal offices.
"However, Loy Krathong at Saphan Hin is still being considered by Phuket City Municipality.

Whiskey is a distilled spirit made from fermented grain mash, and its etymology roughly translates to "water of life." It's most commonly associated with Scotland, Ireland and the United States, but whiskey is a global beverage produced and consumed all over the world.
The production of whiskey is highly regulated, with details like place of origin, alcohol content and aging in wood dictating the classes, types and characteristics applied to whiskeys. For example, Scotch whisky (they spelled it without the "e") must be distilled in Scotland from water and malted barley, and it must be matured at least three years. Bourbon, a popular American whiskey, must be produced from a grain mixture of at least 51 percent corn and must be aged in new American oak barrels, among other regulations.
Although whiskeys from the United States, Scotland, Ireland and Canada remain at the forefront of the spirit category, whiskey is very popular in Japan and quality products are appearing all over the world, from Australia to India. In fact, Amrut Fusion, a new whiskey from Bangalore, India, was recently named the third best whiskey in the world by the renowned Whisky Bible.
As whiskey continues to grow as a spirit category, look for even more countries to open distilleries and enter the whiskey market. And as you travel the globe, ask for locally-produced whiskeys, which are becoming easier to find every year. It's an exciting time for whiskey. Get on board.

If you want to find out more about honeybees or if you are doing a project in school about bees here are some facts:
What are honey bees?
Honeybees are insects. The honeybee lives in groups called a colony. They first evolved about 35 million years ago in tropical Africa and because honey is so popular, bees now live all over the world.
What is a bee's life cycle?
The queen lays each egg in one cell of the honeycomb. Each egg hatches and a little worm-like larva crawls out. The worker bees feed pollen and honey to the baby larva. Soon, it spins a web blanket inside the cell and becomes a pupa. After 16 to 24 days, a fully grown bee climbs out of the cell. They live between 3 to 6 months depending on the time of year and food available.
Would you like to take a journey into a beehive?
Are all the bees in the colony the same?
No. There are different bees for different jobs. Every colony has one queen, which is the largest bee. The workers are female bees and are the smallest in size but the largest in number. There are also male drones and the brood is made up of eggs, larvae, and pupae.
What is a hive and howdoes it work?
The hive is the colony's home or nest. The outside is often a man- made box like this one, and the in- side is made from wax, which the bees produce themselves. The queen and most of the bees live in the bottom of the hive in the brood chamber. The top contains the honey.
Why do bees swarm?
As the number of bees in the hive increases, some of the bees leave to set up a new colony in a new location. They form a big group known as a swarm. The queen leaves the colony and about half of the worker bees and drones follow her in search of a new home. She is usually replaced with a new queen after a couple of weeks. Another new queen is left behind with the other half to continue the old colony.
Here's a video about catching a swarm

ORLANDO, Fla. - The National Transportation and Safety Board has released its report on a fatal Disney monorail crash.
Monorail pilot Austin Wuennenberg was killed around 2 a.m. on July 5, 2009, when the purple monorail train he was piloting collided with another train.
According to the NTSB, "Two monorails collided on a fixed guideway system referred to as the Epcot beam near the Concourse station within Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. The accident occurred when the Pink monorail backed through an improperly aligned switch-beam and struck the Purple monorail. An operator and six passengers were on board the Purple monorail at the time of the collision."
The six passengers on the purple train were not injured. The pilot of the pink train, who was the only person aboard that train, was treated for injuries at a nearby hospital.
According to the report, the NTSB determined the probable cause of the collision to be, "The shop panel operator's failure to properly position switch-beam 9 and the failure of the monorail manager acting as the central coordinator to verify the position of switch-beam 9 before authorizing the reverse movement of the Pink monorail. Contributing to the accident was Walt Disney World Resort's lack of standard operating procedures leading to an unsafe practice when reversing trains on its monorail system."
The NTSB estimated that the crash caused $24 million in damage.
Because of the changes Disney has already implemented, the NTSB said it has no further recommendations for changes Disney needs to make.
Visit the NTSB's website to read the full crash report.

While Grambling wasn't precisely top dog last season, with a 6-5 winning record, they wrapped up the year.

Two last-season stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Grambling ranked 12th worst in the nation over last year's passing touchdowns, where only 16 were accumulated by the team.

Unbelievable! What's next? Will publishers argue that you don't have a right to loan your book (or Kindle) to someone else because that may keep the recipient from purchasing the book themselves?
Was your mother a lawbreaker when she read you The Little Prince or Green Eggs and Ham?
That's the question raised Tuesday by the Author's Guild, an advocacy group for writers. Paul Aitken, the group's executive director objects to the text-to-speech feature on Amazon's Kindle 2 digital-book reader. Aitken told The Wall Street Journal: "They don't have the right to read a book out loud. That's an audio right, which is derivative under copyright law."
Wow. If a computer can't lawfully read a book out loud, do human beings have the right? Amazon and Aitken could not be reached for comment.

He specializes in quality of reference data, process improvement to ensure data is right first time and also issue resolution management, because as sure as you will find issue with data, he believes you need a robust mechanism to resolve those issues. He is an expert in his own right and a delight to work with.
How long have you been working in Data Governance?
I started working in data governance as a freelance consultant for small businesses in 2008. I then took it seriously in 2011 when I realized that it was an extremely important space to be in. So I would say 7 years in total.
How did you start working in Data Governance?
Well I started by helping out small businesses in capturing their data in a structured manner that allowed them to report on the performance of their businesses. This then led me to an environment where data was not very well handled by front line staff which was having an impact in the way the businesses would report. The obvious answer was always the fact that someone in the business knew a lot about the subject and could act as the Subject Matter Expert to fix the issue halfway through and present the results but this never really tackled the underlying root cause. So my passion is to get things right the first time and to put in measures that properly resolve and eradicate root cause, began there.
What were your initial thoughts when you first fully understood what you had gotten into?
Well, initially, I thought it was quite easy to resolve and when dealing with smaller companies it is indeed quite easy. However, working in the data governance space and getting it right requires change in attitude and behaviour as well as keeping your eye on the big buzz of return on investment. Combining these three things and still being able to maintain professional working relationships could prove to be a challenge and that is when I realized that it was not such an easy space to be in. I knew right then that I required excellent communication skills and stakeholder engagement and management skills.
Are there any particular resources that you found useful support when you were starting out?
Absolutely! Resources were both the people and the tools. Working with people that understood the data at the frontline and also with IT resources that did not just dwell on the infrastructure but also the data that was held in the infrastructure, made all the difference. These people became the data champions that I would use whenever I needed to impress upon their teams on the importance of good data practices. In addition, the IT experts used open source tools to implement data cleansing capabilities as well as providing outputs that did not meet the business rules. Bringing together the human resource and technology allowed the right results to be achieved but I also used these results and exceptions to address the processes that either needed review or to implement new ones where they did not exist.
What is the biggest Data Governance challenge you have faced so far?
As I mentioned earlier, getting data governance right requires a change in attitude and behavior towards data. This change is not specific to just an individual or a team but is an organizational change and being an expert in this field, the natural instinct is to lead on those changes. However, if the culture in place is ingrained in the people, the deliverables in the organization then become the "elephant in the room" that need to be tackled but it is not an easy one to deal with. The challenge is to get buy in from the organization both top-down and bottom-up. It requires pegging the concerns identified to the wider organizations KPIs which will be music to the ears at the top but also to elaborate what it means to fail on KPIs from the bottom-up. This also presents a further challenge to the data governance team and that is; understanding the business enough to articulate those specific improvements to both those at the top and those at the frontline. It therefore, goes to show that data governance teams require a combination of business savvy skills as well as a good understanding of Information Systems along with good communication, negotiation and liaison skills that bridge between technology, people and process, which is not always a readily available combination in the market.
What have you implemented or solved so far that you are particularly proud of?
One thing I have been really proud of and continue to be proud of since I first started this journey in data governance is the processes that I have put in place. At every organization I have worked for, I have implemented a process that did not exist and one that continues to be used long after I have left. I do not profess to have perfect processes and neither do I believe there is such a thing. In fact, I expect that long after I have left, my processes should undergo reviews that improve them or even discard them in tandem with the ever changing demands and technologies. In addition, the processes I have implemented always consider the people and the technology with clear accountabilities. My pride comes not by implementing the process alone but ensuring that the accountabilities are relevant and agreed. The accountabilities are activity focused and not individual focused. Now you might ask what does that mean, and in simple terms it means that putting someone accountable to something and having no actions attached to that accountability means nothing. However, putting actions in place that require to be addressed and then assigning those to an individual or team means that something will be done about it. Many are the times where I have seen accountabilities distributed on a position and individual basis but when you look at what the person actually does to ensure that there are some actions taken to deliver as part of a process you find nothing and this is what organizations call "process breakdown" because the actions have not been attached to a person realistically.
What single piece of advice would you give someone just starting out in Data Governance?
One single piece of advice is lead as an expert and believe in yourself. The old adage of "this is how we have always done things" results in someone who is starting up to carry on with the same old ways of working. If one is starting up and they want to lead in the end then they need to follow the simple ABC of governance which I use and it is – Accept nothing, Believe no one and Check everything. Whether one does these on their own or within a team it is important to be vigilant and challenge the status quo because underneath the surface lies a lot of theoretical approaches that have little practicality in supporting the current business status.
Finally, what do you wish you had known or done differently when you were just starting out in Data Governance?
I have no regrets about anything and I believe that the time I ventured into data governance was my time and I still consider myself quite young so I have a long way to go. However, If I had known that there was such a deep rooted data governance issue in many industries, I would have invested more time much earlier. I don't believe that I am any worse right now but I would be a more seasoned data governance guru. I am also a mentor at the University of Westminster and whenever I get an IT student, I inform them much earlier in their career that Data Governance is a field they need to start investing in much earlier so that they can hone their people and business skills as well as their technical skills and after a number of years they will have the skills I mentioned earlier which are suitable for the data governance expert.

Farm Update
Overall the weather has been quite mild this winter with spring grass already on the way. Our first calf was born February 9th. Almost all our calves will be born by the middle of March and hopefully be out on pasture by the end of March, weather permitting. I am looking forward to the lessened workload with the end of feeding hay till fall. The cows/calves are looking forward to the fresh green grass, no mud, and "romping" through the fields.
Bi-Monthly Topic: "Upgrading" Pedigrees in Cattle Breeds—My Perspective
Many breeders of cattle, especially new or prospective breeders, are not familiar with the concept of "pedigree upgrading" and how a crossbred can be transformed into a purebred. The rules for accomplishing this maneuver vary from one cattle breed to another but essentially similar methodology is used. I will not go into the nuances each cattle breed utilizes to achieve the goal of producing a "new" purebred since the rationale and upgrading systems differ significantly.
Upgrading Terminology: (It is important to define terms before launching into the concept of upgrading pedigrees.)
1. Cattle Breed: A group of cattle that are linked historically and were developed through a specific selection process. They are uniform both phenotypically and genotypically. Simply put they look and function alike.
2. Purebred: An individual bred from parents of the same breed without commingling blood from other breeds. This term has been perverted by many cattle breed associations and today often indicates just a "percentage animal".
3. Percentage Animal: It varies from breed to breed, but basically an animal could be less than 50% pure to 99.25% pure. It is a more accurate term than purebred because there is often an actual number placed on the degree of purity of the animal in question.
4. Fullblood: The individual has an unaltered ancestry and to the best of anyone's knowledge is 100% pure.
5. Crossbred: An animal who has a blended ancestry. A good example is a Shorthorn Plus as they are part Shorthorn but have other breeds mixed in with them. They are often black because of Angus influence.
6. Composite Cattle: A planned breeding strategy where two or more breeds are joined together to utilize the the most desirable traits of each breed to produce a hopefully superior animal with specific characteristics. One illustration is the development of composite dairy cows (combining Holstein, Jersey, and Continental breeds such as Normandy Reds) to correct the reproductive, health, and longevity problems that currently plague Modern Dairy cows.
7. Upgraded Pedigree: The pedigree for an animal which several generations back included a crossbred but through successive generations of breeding to higher percentage animals or fullbloods of the same breed is now considered to be a "purebred" individual.
8. Heterosis: The likelihood that crossbreeding two individuals from different breeds will produce a superior animal that incorporates the best qualities of both parents. Also known as hybrid vigor.
Opening Herd Books:
Most cattle breed associations have opened their herd books. Opening herd books allows breeders to introduce specific traits from another breed to enhance their own breed. For example: the introduction of Red and White Holstein genetics into Milking Shorthorns to increase milk production, and Maine Anjous into beef Shorthorns to produce thicker, larger beef Shorthorns. Unfortunately such tactics can be affected by the "rule of unintended consequences". For Milking Shorthorns it has meant reduced longevity and certain genetic defects. In Beef Shorthorns it has meant increased calving difficulty, poor milk production, and new genetic defects such as Pulmonary Hypoplasia with Anasarca (PHA) and double muscling. For certain rare breeds of cattle upgrading is a necessity because they have such a narrow genetic base that inbreeding is causing major problems. However with many breeds, such as Shorthorns where there is broad genetic diversity, opening herd books and using crossbreeding is just a shortcut. Good cattle breeders can make changes within a particular breed through careful genetic mating of fullbloods without resorting to crossbreeding.
Pros of Upgrading Pedigrees:
There are several rationales used for upgrading pedigrees but most revolve around introducing new genetics into a breed to augment its genetic base, while still allowing breeders to market upgraded cattle as purebreds. This can be misleading since buyers may not be aware that they are actually buying a crossbred or percentage animal.
Cons of Upgrading Pedigrees:
The "genetic diversity" added to a breed by cross breeding may also bring undesirable traits. (Ever wonder where the white spots often seen in modern Black Angus came from?) Loss of the uniformity and homogeneity of a breed devalues and diminishes what makes it a unique breed. Ultimately this is really a loss for the cattle industry because the individual positive traits a specific breed has been noted for may no longer be "fixed" within that breed—i.e. will not be passed on in a crossbreeding/heterosis program used by a commercial cattle breeder. Regrettably this may not be apparent to buyers because the pedigree may have been upgraded, and the fact the animal is really a percentage animal is not listed on the registration paper. With some breeds an animal that is only 75% pure may be called a purebred. Anyone interested in breeding or utilizing "purebred" animals should investigate the definition of a "purebred" within that breed before investing both time and money. Everyone has to decide for themselves what buying a "purebred" means to them.
I have no problem with crossbreeding in cattle and see it as a positive when it produces maximum heterosis and embellishes specific genetic traits. Many commercial cattlemen depend on crossbreeding to produce cattle that they can sell into specific markets. However I have never been a believer in the "upgrading" of pedigrees within a breed. If purebred breeders try to emulate other breeds then they loose the characteristics that made their breed special. The commercial dominance of Black Angus has certainly produced breed envy and caused several breeds to "turn black". Many said they had to do it for survival. I say they did it because it was easier to follow than to lead. It is certainly possible to maintain different cattle lines—one of true purebred/fullblood cattle, and another of crossbred or composite cattle which are labeled as such. Perhaps with time there will be a continual melding of breeds (most likely gene editing will play a significant part in this) which will produce the ultimate composite commercial beef animal just as has happened with pigs, chickens, and turkeys, but just don't call it a "purebred".
For my own cattle I am a true believer in the uniqueness of historical breeds and what they have to offer to the cattle industry. It is why I am involved in breeding Heritage Shorthorns that are fullblood—true purebreds.

JOURNAL OF BELGIAN HISTORY – The first 2017 issue is now available
The contributions in the first 2017 issue of the Journal of Belgian History – of which two in French, and two in Dutch – again bear testimony to the thematic variety of present-day research on Belgian history.
Topics covered in the current issue include:
- the usage of humour as a rhetorical strategy in parliamentary debates (Flemish Parliament, 2004-2014);
- the Belgian politics of neutrality during the Prussian-Austrian war (1886); the democratisation of political life after the First World War;
- and the role of language in the construction of a Belgian national identity around 1830.

James has never smoked cigarettes and cannot imagine ever starting. As he says, "the girls think they're gross." So James 'vapes' instead. James is one of the 2 million high school students smoking e-cigarettes (e-cigs), according to a survey just released by the CDC. "It was something for us to do that was edgy and exciting," said the 17-year-old Virginia student, who didn't want to reveal his last name. James is willing to talk about his vaping, but is not completely comfortable revealing his smoking habits to the world. (NY Times, 04-16-15)
Last Thursday the CDC released its data, stating that "[f]indings from the 2014 National Youth Tobacco Survey show that current e-cigarette use (use on at least 1 day in the past 30 days) among high school students increased from 4.5 percent in 2013 to 13.4 percent in 2014, rising from approximately 660,000 to 2 million students. Among middle school students, current e-cigarette use more than tripled from 1.1 percent in 2013 to 3.9 percent in 2014—an increase from approximately 120,000 to 450,000 students."
The release went on to say, "This is the first time since the survey started collecting data on e-cigarettes in 2011 that current e-cigarette use has surpassed current use of every other tobacco product overall, including conventional cigarettes." (CDC.gov)
Great news—use of traditional tobacco products is decreasing. But as the CDC notes, the uptick in use of e-cigarettes and hookahs among teens negates the drop.
The data has set off a firestorm of stories across the web and on traditional news channels. It's what we do not know that causes the most concern. How much nicotine is dangerous? And, what about teens—are they not more susceptible because their brains are still forming? Is this a successful step in the decline of traditional tobacco products or a cleverly packaged resurgence of Big Tobacco? Or both?
There was one strong voice in defense of e-cigarettes last week. Surprisingly, not the e-cigarette industry; they are busy making tons of money on American youth. Michael Siegel, a professor and tobacco-control specialist at Boston University's School of Public Health, feels the "CDC should really be jumping for joy at the fact that smoking rates are declining. This is a huge success. Instead, they (the CDC) are using this as another opportunity to demonize e-cigarettes."
Siegel follows the thinking of e-cigarette manufacturers who insist their products are designed as smoking cessation tools. And, while that may be true, to a degree, we do not know enough about the dangers of e-cigarettes to be complacent (or enthusiastic) about this surge in teen and pre-teen use.
Again, it is what we do not know that is so dangerous. Remember, the CDC reports 450,000 middle-school students using e-cigs in 2014, up from 120,000 in 2011. The data may suggest that e-cigs have helped some students stop smoking traditional cigarettes. But the increase in numbers suggests that children are trying e-cigarettes because they are 'cool'. E-cigarettes contain nicotine. And, they contain other additives that have yet to be found harmless, or deadly over time. We simply do not know at this time.
The decades-long fight against traditional cigarettes had finally begun to solidly take hold. But e-cigarettes are not seen as all that threatening. The presentation, the packaging, the cool flavors—all make them seem pretty harmless. Trendy, if you will. The marketing strategy has been intentionally designed, at least in large part, for the youth market.
"These are the same images, the same themes and the same role models that the cigarette industry used 50 years ago," said Matthew Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. "It's the Marlboro Man reborn. It's the Virginia Slims woman re-created, with the exact same effect. . . . This is not an accident."
CDC Director Tom Friedman noted, "The tobacco industry spends more in a couple days than we do in an entire year on educating the public."
In April 2014 the FDA proposed regulations for the sales and marketing of e-cigarettes. The regulations are still not in place, which makes the recent data all that more alarming. Mitch Zeller, head of the agency's Center for Tobacco Products, spoke last Thursday about the FDA's intention. "These staggering increases in such a short time underscore why the FDA intends to regulate those additional products to protect public health." We have waited a full year—how much longer will it take?
Matthew Myers sums up this situation so clearly. "The drop in cigarette use is historic, with enormous public-health significance," Myers said. But, he quickly added, "the explosion of e-cigarette use among kids means these products are being taken up in record numbers with totally unknown long-term consequences that could potentially undermine all the progress we've made." (Wash. Post, 04/16/15) Further, we have not yet seen to what extent e-cigs will be a gateway product introducing young folks to tobacco cigarettes. That is a truly scary thing to consider. Hopefully, the long-term negative effects of e-cigs will be found to be very minimal, for the sake of the millions using them.

Dear users and developers,
I want to calculate e-e scattering lifetimes in a metal based on GW approximation based on abinit. This is my first time working on GW. I was wondering how long it would take for a metal like copper to get the lifetimes starting from the scf calculations in DFT with and without running yambo in parallel. Is using Quantum espresso Pw + yambo faster than Abinit + yambo ? I also would like to add {DFT+U with spin polarization} as well after my DFT calculation. Apologies if the questions are too simple.

"There are two things in life for which we are never truly prepared: twins."
Joanna & Ryan… one of my favorite special couples. I photographed their engagement at one of their favorite parks, and their wedding at the historic Pierce House on a beautiful spring day. And a year later… they got the wonderful news that they were expecting… not one, but TWO! On September 10th, Joanna gave birth to Carly Louise Elizabeth & Tucker Jeffery, weighing in at 5 lbs 11.5 oz and 5 lbs 5.5 oz, respectively. Miss Carly was born one minute before her brother!
Seeing these two babies snuggled up together was incredible. Their little noises, their tiny fingers, the rise and fall of their tummies when they slept. I can't wait to see these two grow.

I'm sure everyone has experienced this before.
Oh wait, I don't mean EVERYONE, I mean only the females. Because dudes don't have the privilege to flip the coin and see the other side of it.
Ladies, I'm sure you all have seen it and made friends with at least that one female friend that act totally different from her usual self when they are seen around with guys. Oh, you know damn well what I'm talking about. Or else, you're the one who has this condition but you are unconscious of this behavior. Or maybe you know it but you just can't contain it.
Please answer these questions below:
1. Do you act differently around friends and acquaintances?
2. Does other girls tends to avoid you? Or even ditch you?
3. Does your voice change when you're talking to the opposite sex?
4. Does your friends watch you with a weird expression when you're out in a group outing?
5. Do you prefer responding to guys rather than girls?
If you answered yes to all of the above questions, bitch, you're one hellavu a piece of work.
Since I'm from an all-girl school, I see a lot of these. I'll make up a story about it. First, I need a name I could make fun of. A bitchy name, great for portraying every ounce of ickiness I feel for them when they are starting their act.......................... I can't put any names of people I know, I'll probably get killed..... soooooooooo........ M...... Monique. MONIQUE IT SHALL BE!
*Please be aware that these are all for the sake of entertainment and the character is fictional. It is not a recreation of a living being. If there is any similarities with whoever you know, these are all only pure coincidence*
Monique talking like the mightiest dai kah jie (big sister) in the gang with one feet on the chair and the other on the floor. She eats chicken drumstick like a barbarian. She folds up her collar to show her chio-ness and dai kah jie-ness to every girls in school.
*Suddenly, a wild guy appears!*
Monique evolves!
Her voice sounds like a squeaky mouse with falsetto capability!
She giggles like a school girl. An unbelievable sight!
Oh em gee. She making weird noises at every sentence people said and every little action she did!
It's like multiple personality disorder. I don't know if it's a natural behavior or instinct to them but some times these behaviors just gets under my skin. It's one thing to be a flirt but this? This is just an advance level of an attention whore or a pity-vote seeker. Can't do anything though. Can just witness it and feel so weird and disgusted. :( Boo~

Fathers day 2013 was a very wonderful day spent with my family and a couple friends. We went to Bear Lake north of Spokane Washington just a few miles. This park is a county park and a great place to spend the day. The weather was fabulous, in the high 80's with lots of sun. If you ever get a chance to visit Bear Lake I recommend it. Stop by and go for a walk on the trail that goes around the lake, go out on the water with a kayak or simply sit and relax in the shade of a tree.
We set our things out then I took the kayak out for a trip around the lake. I took my son Cody with me. What a fun day spending it outdoors with my son.
Afterwards we went back to our spot for the day. Joanne and Cody played a game of Mexican trains while I sat and listened to music and watched them play the game.
Some friends along with my father and his wife showed up to join us. Some friends could only stay for a short visit but it was nice to see them regardless.
It was a wonderful fathers day. I can not think of a better way to spend my day than be out with the camper for the day and be with my family and friends.
I hope your fathers day was a great one.
