Hey guys,
just wanted to say introduce myself and say hi, HI!
I also have a questions for anybody reading this post from an expert newbie.
I came across Marcus's youtube channel about a week ago. Watched a few videos and judging by the titles on most of the videos the process surrounds blogging/affiliate marketing which provides the viewer with enough information so they act/do (buy/click/download) in a highly specific niche market.
Where does the newbiest of the newb start?
- Do research then re-spew everything in a blog?
- Spew out something I already know into blog form?
- Keep watching videos about affiliate marketing?
- Get to know all the terms (cpa/ppc/cpl etc) first?
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks for reading.

"Whites were free, blacks were slaves. Yet there was constant interaction."
Violence and Hope in a Space of Death: Paramaribo
About 1710, J. D. Herlein, a Dutch visitor to Paramaribo, reported that a runaway slave from the town had been recaptured by the authorities. His sentence, which the court intended "to serve as an example to others," was "to be quartered alive, and the pieces thrown in the River." Herlein witnessed the execution: "He was lain on the ground, his head on a long beam. The first blow he was given, on the abdomen, burst his bladder open, yet he uttered not the least sound; the second blow with the axe he tried to deflect with his hand, but it gashed the hand and upper belly, again without his uttering a sound. The slave men and women laughed at this, saying to one another, 'That is a man!' Finally, the third blow, on the chest, killed him. His head was cut off and the body cut in four pieces and dumped in the river."
Herlein made clear that the harshness of this sentence was no anomaly, explaining to his European audience that "if a slave runs away into the forest to evade work for a few weeks, upon his being captured his Achilles tendon is removed for the first offence, while for the second offence, if they wish to increase the punishment, his right leg is amputated in order to stop him from running away; I myself was a witness to slaves being punished thus."
As in other capitals of New World plantation colonies, maintaining order among the mass of enslaved laborers was a central concern. In the idealized slaveocracy, planter hegemony would leave little room for slave response or maneuver and dramatic public executions, a veritable theatre of terror, played a central role toward this end. But the victims in the colonies, unlike those who suffered judicial penalties in the metropoles, generally refused to play their designated roles and mocked the system until their dying breaths, flaunting their individuality and resistance.
In the exercise of totalizing power, capital punishment constitutes a limiting caseyet for this very reason, it may be a good place to plumb the ultimate capacities of the oppressed to respond, resist, and create. An examination of the ways that condemned slaves went to their deaths reveals much about the limits of planter power and about the spirit that allowed slaves to create, within the limited spaces available to them, a world of their own, one that influenced not only every aspect of their own descendants' lives but also that of the descendants of their oppressors.
By the time of Herlein's visit, Paramaribo was a small, bustling town that served as the administrative and commercial hub of a fast-growing sugar plantation colony in northeastern South America. Named after the Amerindian village that had occupied the site, ten kilometers up the Suriname River from the Atlantic, it was dominated by the wooden fort (Zeelandia) that gave the town its name in the creole language created by the slaves: Foto. The first fort, and the town itself, were founded soon after 1650, when Frances Lord Willoughby of Parham sent out an expedition from Barbados to establish the English colony that lasted until the Treaty of Breda (1667), in which the English traded Suriname for New York with the Dutch.
The town had grown from fewer than thirty houses in 1678the homes of officials, inns, and public housesto a couple of hundred structures with some five hundred people, only 3 percent of the colony's population but one-third of its Europeans (who included Dutch, French, Portuguese, Jews, Germans, Scandinavians, and others). The remaining whites lived either in and around the town of Jews Savanna fifty kilometers upstream, which had its own synagogue and where half the colony's slaves were owned, or on the plantations themselves. Paramaribo was the port where planters and their delegates did their shopping for slaves as well as other goods, all of which moved between town and plantations in boats rowed by slaves, and where they carried out their administrative affairs. In the early eighteenth century, over 95 percent of the colony's eighteen thousand slavesalmost all of whom had been born in Africa and two-thirds of whom had arrived during the previous decadeworked and lived on plantations.
By 1710, neither Paramaribo nor the colony had reached the heights of wealth and depravity they were to achieve in the second half of the eighteenth-century, when, as John Gabriel Stedman described, planters were routinely served at table by nearly nude house slaves, who also fanned them during their naps (and sometimes all night long), put on and took off all of their clothes each morning and evening, bathed their children in imported wine, and performed other similar tasks, and when wealthy planters in Paramaribo often had forty or fifty such handpicked domestic slaves. Nevertheless, even by 1710, the local plantocracy was, to borrow Gordon K. Lewis's phrase about the Caribbean more generally, "crassly materialist and spiritually empty . . . the most crudely philistine of all dominant classes in the history of Western slavery." And Stedman's description of the town would already hold as well: "Paramaribo is a verry lively place, the Streets being crowded with Planters, Sailors, Soldiers, Jews, Indians, and Negroes, while the river Swarms with Canoes, barges, yoals, Ships boats &c constantly going and coming from the different Estates and crossing and passing each other like the wheries on the Thames . . . while continually some Guns are firing in the roads from the Shipping, and whole Groops of naked Girls are playing in the water like so many mermaids, can not but have a truly enchanting appearance from the beach, and in some Measure Compensates for the many Curses that one is here dayly exposed to." As would his recounting of a Paramaribo experience that could have happened as easily at the beginning of the century as later: "A general hub bub took place [and] . . . A Mob now gathered and a riot ensued, before Mr. Hardegens Tavern at the Waterside while hats wigs[,] bottles and Glasses flew out at his Window[.] [T]he Magistrates were next sent for to no purpose and the fighting continued in the Street till 10 OClock at night, when I with my friends fairly keep'd the field, having knocked down several Sailors, planters, Jews, and Overseers and lost one of my Pistoles which I threw after the rabble in my Passion . . . after which we all sat down and drank away the night till the Sun rose the next morning."
Paramaribo in 1710, like the rest of Suriname, was divided by race, and hence status. Whites were free, blacks were slaves. Yet there was constant interaction. Interracial sexwhite men with slave or Amerindian womenwas an everyday occurrence (though laws were passed against it, the penalty was a fine of a mere two pounds of sugar), and during Herlein's visit there even were two scandals involving white women and slave men, prompting the governor to issue an edict stipulating flogging and expulsion from the colony for a woman if she was single, with branding added if she was married, and with the African man to be executed in either case. Edicts were repeatedly issued to keep whites and blacks apart (suggesting that everyday practice often trumped the law)and also to preserve status differences: in 1698, it was decreed that "all slaves, both male and female, will be obliged to stand aside and make way for any European who may cross their path, day or night," and further that Europeans and slaves were not permitted to gamble together, nor could slaves carry sticks or cudgels. With a ratio of whites to blacks of one to twenty overall, and one to forty in the plantation districts, the master class lived with ever present fear of slave rebellion. The plantocracy, who controlled the judiciary, had since the founding of the colony mandated the cruelest punishments for resistance.
Theatrical public executions were reported during the earliest years of settlementalways accompanied by wonderment at the stoicism and resistance manifested by the African victims. In the initial English period (1650-67), George Warren observed of runaways that "[i]f the hope of Pardon bring them again alive into their Masters power, they'l manifest their fortitude, or rather obstinancy in suffering the most exquisite tortures can be inflicted upon them, for a terrour and example to others without shrinking." And the indomitable Aphra Behnanother visitor to the English colonywrote her fictional account of the death of the slave-prince Oroonoko: "He [Oroonoko-Caesar] had learned to take Tobacco; and when he was assur'd he should die, he desir'd they would give him a Pipe in his Mouth, ready lighted; which they did: And the Executioner came, and first cut off his Members, and threw them into the Fire; after that, with an ill-favour'd Knife, they cut off his Ears and his Nose, and burned them; he still smoak'd on, as if nothing had touched him; then they hack'd off one of his Arms, and still he bore up, and held his Pipe; but at the cutting off the other Arm, his head sunk, and his Pipe dropt, and he gave up the Ghost, without a Groan, or a Reproach . . . They cut Caesar [Oroonoko] into Quarters, and sent them to several of the chief Plantations."
During Herlein's visit, some of the enslaved African ancestors of today's Langu clan of Saramaka Maroons managed to make their escape from Paramaribo, where they had been working under military surveillance on the outskirts of the city. As Saramakas recounted it in the late twentieth century, "The whites had moved the slaves to a new barracks called Lúósu, a great long house right where the gas company is today. In those days, the whole city was right around the governor's house . . . At Lúósu our ancestors used to sleep on banana leaves. That was our hammock! . . . There they decided to escape." A large expeditionforty-eight slaves, sixty-two Amerindians, and seventeen whiteswas sent after these runaways, based on intelligence from two recaptured runaways, Bassot and Diamant, who were later burned at the stake "as an example to others," but the Maroons had been warned by their scouts and escaped further into the forest. (By this date, something like two thousand slaves had already become successful Maroons, living in organized groups, farming together, and conducting their lives under wartime discipline.) A few years later, two large military expeditions captured a number of Maroon villagers, and the criminal court in Paramaribo meted out the following sentences: "The Negro Joosie shall be hanged from the gibbet by an Iron Hook through his ribs, until dead; his head shall then be severed and displayed on a stake by the riverbank, remaining to be picked over by birds of prey. As for the Negroes Wierrie and Manbote, they shall be bound to a stake and roasted alive over a slow fire, while being tortured with glowing Tongs. The Negro girls, Lucretia, Ambira, Aga, Gomba, Marie, and Victoria will be tied to a Cross, to be broken alive, and then their heads severed, to be exposed by the riverbank on stakes. The Negro girls Diana and Christina shall be beheaded with an axe, and their heads exposed on poles by the riverbank."
In 1750, the slaves of a planter named Amand Thomas murdered him and his bookkeeper but were soon recaptured in the forest. Governor Mauricius described how "[t]he execution of Thomas' slaves took place in the afternoon; three, including Gallien, who murdered the bookkeeper, and a Negro of Thumelaar's, have been hanged by suspending them from an iron hook twisted through their sides; three, including one of Lespinasse's, have been broken on the wheel; two have been burnt at the stake, two hanged and twenty quartered, two of whom were beheaded."
By far the best-known account of a Paramaribo execution dates from 1776John Gabriel Stedman's dramatic description of the torture of Neptune and his breaking on the rack, illustrated for all time on the basis of Stedman's drawing by William Blake.
As Stedman wrote, Neptune was "a Carpenter by Trade, he was Young and handsomeBut . . . he having Stole a Sheep to Entertain some Favourite Women, the Overseer had Determined to See him Hang'd, Which to Prevent he Shot him dead Amongst the Sugar Canesthis man being Sentenced to be brook Alive upon the Rack, without the benefit of the Coup de Grace, or mercy Stroke, laid himself down Deliberately on his Back upon a Strong Cross, on which with Arms & Legs Expanded he was Fastned by RopesThe Executioner / also a Black / having now with a Hatchet Chop'd off his Left hand, next took up a heavy Iron Crow or Bar, with Which Blow After Blow he Broke to Shivers every Bone in his Body till the Splinters Blood and Marrow Flew About the Field, but the Prisoner never Uttered a Groan, or a Sigh."
In 1710 Paramaribo was the capital of a plantation colony firmly set in the American space of death (which was also of course a space of enormous cultural creation). In this particular space, within the totalizing world of the plantation system, theatrical public executions constituted central rituals of colonial control. But from Oroonoko to Neptune, it is the spirit of those whom the planters tried to crush that continues to inspire, that continues to give hope.

Recently uncovered… Secretly rare… A list of activities… That take out boredom!*
*not scientifically proven
*Well, that's what you want, isn't it?
Oh yeah, the list. So this is what I usually do (and yes, they do run on from one another)…
COOK- Yup, cook. You can invent a recipe, or find one in a book or on the internet. And it can be done with friends, family or by yourself. You can even film it.
FILM- Make a movie. I once made one with a friend. It was called "Random". Yeah, all we said was "random…random…". Or go out and take some cool pictures. Feeling adventurous? Pop it on Youtube.
YOUTUBE- Search anything. Find anything. Watch anything. Need we say more?
SAY MORE- Learn a language. Even better, create one. When I was about 4, I made one with my grandma. Called "Miaow" language. (Yes, a spin-off of "Cat Language") I reckon I was fluent back then. After all, there were only about 10 words in the whole language. We even made a book of them.
BOOK- You could read a book. (People did that?). If you're so connected to your tech, download the Kindle or iBooks App (or something similar) onto your iPad/computer/iPod touch/iPhone/Android device (don't be annoyed if your device doesn't support it… Just head to the library, okay!).Or write your own. Well, it doesn't have to be that long. Try writing a short story, or even a comic book. It could be crime, adventure, romance (ugh) or… superheroes!
SUPERHEROES- See post above…
SPORT- 1-2-3-grab/tackle is good fun. Or what about improving your netball skills? Or finding a new sporty hobby (skateboarding, roller blading, basketball…) Or how about a big game with friends?
GAMES- There's the board kind, with a little bit of cardboard and some plastic things engraved with numbers holding your destiny… Or there's the computer kind, which leaves you addicted for hours, trying to beat that score! Or… the interactive kind- with friends/siblings. Think 'Hide and Seek' and that genre.
Speaking of genres, how about…
TRYING A DIFFERENT GENRE- Whether it be in books (see a couple ones up) or movies (let's go with movies), different genres can be fun… If you're into Adventure, try Comedy for a bit of a laugh. Or if you like Romance (ugh again), what about Horror for a bit of a scream. A lot of films are melds of different genres, for example: Romance/Comedy, or Horror/Drama. So you can be comfortable and uncomfortable at the same time, marveling at the makeup and lighting but only getting glances as you hide your head under the trembling popcorn mega-bucket.
BUCKETS- This one's a bit dull… But you can make it (sorta) fun. Why not put a bucket outside on a rainy day and measure how much it rains? Then you could measure it over a week, comparing it and *BOOM* ~ you've got science!
SCIENCE- Do the old baking-soda-and-volcano trick. Make an awesome volcano out of papier-mache and scare your brothers in the bathroom with a bubbling, red mess as they step into the tub. (Tally: You, 1049592854, Them 1049592853. Score!)
KEEP SCORE- Why not keep a tally of how many times you've 'won' against your siblings! It's a good way of keeping your life on… track…
HIT THE TRACK- Half of Australia's population obviously detests it (yup, half of us are overweight… :P), but why not have a good run? It clears your head and often helps you feel better too. And, yes, in time you will reach and maintain a healthy weight (if you haven't already).
SELF PORTRAIT- If you really can't think of anything better to do, pull up PhotoBooth (or your iPod/camera) and snap some pictures of yourself. When done, rinse and repeat. 🙂

A recent Pew research study found that 4-in-10 people between the ages of 18 and 29 have at least one tattoo. But will those tattoos mean problems when it comes to employment?
Meredith Haberfeld is an executive career coach who works with clients around the nation looking to work in a variety of industries. And while many more people these days may have tattoos, it is safe to say that image still matters in getting and keeping a job — perhaps more than ever.
"A study conducted by CareerBuilder.com found that 37 percent of HR managers cite tattoos as the third physical attribute most likely to limit career potential," says Haberfeld. (Obvious, non-ear piercings topped the list, followed by bad breath.)
The key to succeeding is getting a feel for the culture of a workplace. When it comes to the issue of whether ink will affect your livelihood, Haberfeld says it really depends on where you hope to get work.
She cites some sectors where tattoos are acceptable: auto, military, construction, design, film, music, digital media, styling, athletics. Haberfeld says there are many realms where having an individual, artistic expression on your body is common — even expected.
But there are still many offices where body art isn't so acceptable. If you are looking to work in business, government, education, medicine, law — Haberfeld says that ink can often send the wrong message to employers and clients: that you are trying to rebel.
"Each employer is going to vary from conservative to liberal when it comes to tolerance for their body art, so a good rule is to keep it covered in your interviews and even during your first few weeks in your job until you get a sense for the culture of the workplace," she says. If you can't cover up with regular professional attire, makeup is an option.
Haberfeld says the cost of an average tattoo — which depends on size, color, artist — ranges between $100-300. The cost of removing a tattoo is where expenses can add up. The most common type of tattoo removal is done by laser, which can cost $200-500 per sessions (and it usually takes between 5-10 sessions).

The Tattooist of Auschwitz
Audio MP3 on CD(MP3 on CD)
#1 New York Times Bestseller and #1 International Bestseller
This beautiful, illuminating tale of hope and courage is based on interviews that were conducted with Holocaust survivor and Auschwitz-Birkenau tattooist Ludwig (Lale) Sokolov—an unforgettable love story in the midst of atrocity.
"The Tattooist of Auschwitz is an extraordinary document, a story about the extremes of human behavior existing side by side: calculated brutality alongside impulsive and selfless acts of love. I find it hard to imagine anyone who would not be drawn in, confronted and moved. I would recommend it unreservedly to anyone, whether they'd read a hundred Holocaust stories or none."—Graeme Simsion, internationally-bestselling author of The Rosie Project
In April 1942, Lale Sokolov, a Slovakian Jew, is forcibly transported to the concentration camps at Auschwitz-Birkenau. When his captors discover that he speaks several languages, he is put to work as a Tätowierer (the German word for tattooist), tasked with permanently marking his fellow prisoners.
Imprisoned for over two and a half years, Lale witnesses horrific atrocities and barbarism—but also incredible acts of bravery and compassion. Risking his own life, he uses his privileged position to exchange jewels and money from murdered Jews for food to keep his fellow prisoners alive.
One day in July 1942, Lale, prisoner 32407, comforts a trembling young woman waiting in line to have the number 34902 tattooed onto her arm. Her name is Gita, and in that first encounter, Lale vows to somehow survive the camp and marry her.
A vivid, harrowing, and ultimately hopeful re-creation of Lale Sokolov's experiences as the man who tattooed the arms of thousands of prisoners with what would become one of the most potent symbols of the Holocaust, The Tattooist of Auschwitz is also a testament to the endurance of love and humanity under the darkest possible conditions.

About the Author
Heather Morris is a native of New Zealand, now resident in Australia. For several years, while working in a large public hospital in Melbourne, she studied and wrote screenplays, one of which was optioned by an Academy Award-winning screenwriter in the US. In 2003, Heather was introduced to an elderly gentleman who 'might just have a story worth telling'. The day she met Lale Sokolov changed both their lives. Their friendship grew and Lale embarked on a journey of self-scrutiny, entrusting the innermost details of his life during the Holocaust to her. Heather originally wrote Lale's story as a screenplay – which ranked high in international competitions – before reshaping it into her debut novel, The Tattooist of Auschwitz.

I've read dozens of Holocaust books, all non fiction, so this is a bit different for me since it's historical fiction but i thoroughly enjoyed this narrative. It is a love story in the midst of the unbelievable horrors of a consentration camp.
Worth the read. Author gets right into the story. Hard to put down.
The immediate mission to have a cooler head than the enemy (or in a lot of situations be smarter than the dumb kid) is beyond inspirational to follow the nightmare Lale &Gita faced. Hats off to the author! Fascinating read of a time mankind should never forget yes please to the screen play
We can certainly be thankful that the Allies were successful in WW II and brought down the Axis powers. The horror that was Nazi Germany is brought home in this story through the suffering of the book's well developed characters. At the same time, the hope that sustained Lale serves to underscore the human spirit. Well worth reading.
FANTASTIC READ well written. This time in our history should never be forgotten..lest we stumble in our ignorance..and repeat it. Hope this book is made into a movie..lessons to everyone as to what is important in our lives..highly suggest everyone to read..and learn from this story!!
Superb. Lovely love story in the worst possible circumstances.
A story of survival , and love.
Since we know from the cover that the hero survives, some of his danger is less suspenseful. But the evocation of the small details of day to day existence are top notch. One interesting thing - it gradually unfolds that the main character is what we think of as a collaborator, a Jew who helped to run the camps. How could such a thing happen, people cry, but the unfolding of the story makes it understandable. How culpable he is may be hard to assess, especially given his later actions outside the camp. But this is what makes you think - what would I do - and makes the book echo in your thoughts.
May this family rest in peace.
I have always found great interest in WWI and WWII. However, this book doesn't have the defeat of the Germans but the dark yet blissful look into the life of hopefully group of people in hell. It shows how love,hope and the will to live can overcome all odds. I promise you will enjoy the book and find yourself looking through multiple person's eyes feeling their pain, joy, love and uncertainty. If you are looking for a book that will get you in your feels this is it.
This book was designated as our book club's next read and though I was excited to read it, as I had read several good reviews, I kept putting it off as I felt that I knew, to some level, the horror of the subject-matter. Hence as I started to read it I was very uncomfortable, but as the book progressed I felt it a compelling read into the reality of human nature. I gave it five stars rather than four, as I felt four stars did not do it justice. Take 20% off coupons from 100promo.com
It's inconceivable to believe the horrors of Nazi suppression, and I am grateful this book provides an insight into Gita and Lale's experiences. I hope young people read this book and learn about the results of an autocratic regime.
Very good! Read it in one night.
So moving. Had a hard time putting it down and to find out that it is fiction didn't surprise me, there was so much depth, but I did not know going into it. A beautiful and heroic read.
Quite a story. I worried for the characters. They were alive for me.
Very disappointing. Based on the reviews on the back of the book I expected much more than this story delivered. The subtitle of the book is, "Based on the powerful true story of love and survival." If this had in fact been Lale Sokolov's memoir written with the help of author Heather Morris then the juvenile writing, unbelievable scenarios, so many giggly moments and glossing over the truly horrific events that took place in the concentration camps would have been forgivable. After all, a survivor can recall and retell their story any way they like; that doesn't make it less true or their experience less real. But to novelize the story and make it so whitewashed like a week at camp and then call it the most extraordinary story of the Holocaust and enduring love is misleading and a disservice to the truly great books of what the Jews and others in the camps endured. The more I read, the more irritated I became with this story.
Some in the world can be cruel!
A must read story of true love and survival.
A worthy read
Historically correct, horrifying, but a wonderful story of the survival under the worst of circumstances and a love story among the tragically of the holocaust
I don't understand why this book has such high reviews. Like another reviewer, I found the author's writing to be juvenile, and quite frankly an insult to any one who has been in a concentration camps or have had family in a concentration camp. She made light of a horrific event. She owes survivors an apology.
Wish we could have geard more about their life afterwards from him. I wanted more. What a man!

A global study of diurnal warming using satellite-derived sea surface temperature
Stuart-Menteth, Alice C.; Robinson, Ian S.; Challenor, Peter G.. 2003 A global study of diurnal warming using satellite-derived sea surface temperature. Journal of Geophysical Research, 108 (C5). 3155-[16pp}. https://doi.org/10.1029/2002JC001534Full text not available from this repository.
Ten years of global infrared satellite data from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's advanced very high resolution radiometer are analyzed to investigate global variations of diurnal warming. Daily nighttime sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are subtracted from adjacent daytime SSTs to give an estimate of diurnal warming (ΔTday-night). The results reveal large regions in the tropics and midlatitudes that are frequently susceptible to diurnal warming each year. A strong seasonal pattern exists, dictated by the wind and solar insolation variability. A simple ΔT regression model confirms that the observed warming is consistent with the right meteorological conditions of low winds and high insolation. The analysis also reveals how the spatial distribution and magnitude of ΔT varies with the drift of the satellite orbit as it shifts from a local overpass time of 1400 to 1600. The results highlight the importance of the diurnal cycle for SST measurements and suggest the need for the diurnal cycle to be included in numerical models.

The dumpy level is one of the most basic types of optical level instruments. It is used in surveying and building to find elevations, which are known as levels. It can be used to set, measure, or transfer horizontal levels. Some surveyors have replaced this older style of instrument with automatic levels, laser levels, or other high-tech optical level instruments. One common variation of the dumpy level is the tilting level, which allows for less operator error.
Surveying is used to find the height of buildings and earth topography. This information can be used to make maps, set boundaries, and gather information for builders. Measurement generally starts from a benchmark point, the height of which is known from a previous survey. The surveyor may also use an arbitrary point and estimate its height.
The main body of a dumpy level is a telescope that swivels to take 360 degrees of measurements. Magnification power can range from 20 to 30 times. Many have spirit levels, the same kind found in simple construction straight edges, built into the base so the operator can clearly see if the device is level. When the bubble stays in the exact center no matter how the telescope is rotated, the device is level.
Three leveling screws set over a foot plate allow the dumpy level to be minutely adjusted. Each quadrant of the level must be set in order to ensure an accurate reading no matter which direction the telescope is pointed. These levels are mounted on tripods to hold them at eye level and keep them stable during measurement.
Finding elevations using a dumpy level takes at least two people, an operator and an assistant. The assistant holds a tape measure or marked staff, called a leveling rod, vertical to the point being measured. Meanwhile, the surveyor looks through the eyepiece at the target and the leveling rod. The operator takes measurements by comparing the marks on the leveling rod to the landscape. Several measurements of the same area can be used to find elevation, distance, and other qualities of the landscape.
A tilting level is a type of dumpy level that allows for greater accuracy. Instead of being welded to the level, the telescope is hinged. This allows the eyepiece to be flipped 180 degrees without adjusting the head. As the level needs to be moved less, errors are less likely to occur.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Oil prices set to add fuel to the recession?
When three production cuts did not help move oil prices up late last year, the cartel was faced with the humiliation that it could not affect crude by taking decisive action. The need for oil was simply dropping too fast to allow the cut in supply to mean much. Oil prices fell toward $30.
The trouble with low-priced oil, at least for OPEC members, is that member countries cannot support their own national budgets. The ability to build out infrastructure and raise wages to improve their economies is undermined. Venezuela and Iran, both essentially dictatorships, have lobbied hard to get crude prices back up again. Their case is that their economies will fall apart if oil stays at current levels.
As the recession deepens, rising oil prices are becoming a real threat to making damaged economies worse. OPEC's need to help its members runs against almost all of the interests of oil-consuming nations, especially the US, UK, Japan, and nations in the EU. A big move up would mean energy costs would further harm the finances of already struggling consumers and businesses.
Crude prices have not been much of a factor as the recession has deepened, but that may be about to change.

OLED TVs are set to get bigger and better, with the announcement that LG is to make a 40-inch OLED panel for commercial use by 2012.
So far, the market for OLED TVs is smaller than Portsmouth FC's net profits, despite the panels being thinner than the club's chances of surviving the Premiership.
Sony was first with its 11-inch XEL-1 effort and then we had a long wait until LG announced it was offering up a 15-inch version.
May be expensive
Now LG has hinted that more OLED TVs are in the pipeline, with a 30-inch TV pencilled in for 2010 and it looks like the company will be bringing a 40-inch TV to market in 2012.
This is bigger than the 32-inch set the company mooted back in July, with LG's VP Won Kim explaining: "They may be expensive, but it will be possible to buy a 40-inch class OLED TV in 2012."
We think you safely change "may" to "will" but the idea that you could possibly watch Usain Bolt charge down the 100-metre track in OLED goodness sounds like an enticing one to us.

The Magnificent Makeup of Michty Maxx
Sunday, 27 May 2012
It is born!
Without rambling on too much for the first post, I invite you to the grand opening and birth of my first blog! I endevour to bring creative ideas and fanciful frenzies concerning makeup, nail polish and the like. I like wild and colourful makeup that pushes my boundaries and keeps me on my toes. What some people consider "unwearable" I will wear just to cruise the shopping center or during a family dinner at home. Anything my imagination can come up with that is exciting and different is what I want to show to you!

Another place I shop for statement necklaces is Forever 21. Not a huge fan of a lot of their cheap frocks but their necklaces have held up extremely well for me. Look online as you can find a lot more selection than in the stores.
I have heard some complaints of the quality of Bauble Bar necklaces, but personally, I've never had a problem with the few pieces I have from them. And remember that you can get $10 off your first purchase just by signing up with an email address. I have, however, had Asos jewelry (bracelets) tarnish on me rather quickly.
I'm also finding that the blonder I go (yeah, got the roots done this weekend along with a co-wash of bleach and shampoo to the rest as we are gradually getting to the platinum stage without frying my hair), the more daring I seem to become in the necklace department. It's so weird being this white blonde. It's like I'm a member of a very small club of women, rather than lost in a sea of highlights. I now notice other platinum blondes. I find myself looking at the texture of their hair and how healthy/unhealthy it looks. I find myself doing double-takes in the mirror because I'm still getting used to the color. And I am very pleased that it does not at all feel like straw. Super pleased with how it's processed in the salon and the respect and care my stylist is taking in getting me to my final goal. My husband loves it and I do, too. It's not for everyone and I realize some of you don't care for it. That's okay. I hope you come back to my site for more than my hair or what I'm wearing today. Cause when you get down to it, it's still a $10 H&M dress.
What's interesting with any fashion blogger is how that blogger can take a base piece and build upon it. Do they keep it minimalistic? Do they add a special touch with accessories? Does their makeup stand out? Did they buck the system and choose something obscure that just seems to work? Do they have the vision to take something outside of the standard every day sea of boring clothes and make it something special and unique?

Trying to squeeze the last drops of Summer's bounty, I was at a loss at why on Earth I had not tried this salad earlier.
Granted, it is a variation on the Iraqi staple of watermelon and cheese, but the addition of fresh mint is so simple yet has such a profound effect.
If using regular watermelon (with seeds), be sure to remove as many seeds as you can. Or find seedless watermelon if available.
feta cheese
fresh mint
Cube and de-seed watermelon flesh; scatter in the serving dish.
Break up pieces of the feta cheese and scatter over and around the watermelon.
Chiffonade (cut into thin strips) the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle over the lot.
Serve chilled or at room temperature, according to preference.

Set on beautiful Quadra Island on Canada's west coast, Camp Homewood was the venue for a quilting retreat last weekend.
It's a very old building, but it easily accommodated the 32+ quilters and guests of the Comox Valley Schoolhouse Quilters' Guild who had signed up for a weekend of quilting fun.
The location was absolutely gorgeous. Here is the view from the sundeck of the building.
Hard to concentrate on sewing at first, but the view wasn't going to run away, so we got to work. It was my first time at a quilting retreat and I went along as a guest of a friend who is a seasoned quilter.
Below, you can see how we set up our sewing machines and our workspace on the "no view" side of the room.
Towards the view side, several other quilters have set up their workspace. All have brought their own sewing machines – mostly Bernina, Janome, and Pfaff – and they have brought their pre-cut fabric. Some brought irons and ironing boards which they shared with the group. Many arrived with extra folding tables and some even brought their own comfortable adjustable chairs, in anticipation of many hours of sitting hunched over a sewing machine.
You can see the extra round tables at the far end of the hall. This is where the group was served meals from Thursday to Sunday afternoon. The excellent food was prepared on the premises, mostly from scratch. Best of all, the guests had a whole weekend without having to wash dishes.
A second room in the older part of the building accommodated many more quilters. See the setups in the photo below.
Here is one lady's workspace with fabric pieces cut out and labeled, each ready for placement in the correct spot. Some quilters are working from a pattern while others are making it up as they go along. This workspace holds more than 22 items, but each of them is necessary for the job. I was impressed by the organization of materials.
The first afternoon and evening, I frequently thought about home. I wondered if this or that little job was being done, now that I wasn't there to take care of it:
Were the dogs being let in or out of the house when they needed it?
Were they being fed?
Did the Captain remember how to use the dishwasher?
Did he remember to turn off the stove?
Did he remember to lock the doors before going to bed?
Did he blah, blah, blah…? Nag, nag, nag….
Finally, I called home. Everything was fine, and I relaxed and shut these things out of my mind for the rest of the weekend. I concentrated on my sewing and listened with half an ear to the other women telling stories. After supper, many of the women had gone to their rooms and come back up to the sewing room in their pyjamas or muu-muus. Might as well be comfortable as hours of sewing still lay ahead.
At times, the whole room sounded like a hive of babbling voices, punctuated with spontaneous bursts of laughter. I chuckled to myself at some of the funny laughs that some of the women had, from high-pitched "hee-hee-hee"s to raucous "haw-haw-haw"s straight from the belly, and once in a while a red-faced silent laugh interrupted by a horsey snort started everyone laughing again. You might say the storytellers left us in stitches.
Many of the women surprised me by staying up until the wee hours of the morning, but the next day at breakfast I was always surprised by how much they had accomplished (in between behaving like teen girls at a pyjama party). These were not just a bunch of old ladies. They were a group of very talented women who were sharing techniques they had learned in their many years of experience. As the projects were completed, the finished pieces were hung on the railing of the upper floor. Each person displayed their work and went on to the next project they had brought with them.
Here are some of the projects of the second room.
Here are some from the first room. My friend's snowflake quilt is third from the right, and the tote bag I made is the last one on the left.
It was a wonderful weekend, with breaks for walks in this pristine nature setting. In the next posts I'll tell about some of those walks.

The easiest solution I have come to is to focus on the things I can control the most: Improving my quilting and sewing skills. Plus I absolutely love learning, seriously if I could afford to be a full time student for the rest of my life I totally would.
The quilty things I really want to tackle learning and improving on this year are free-motion machine quilting, curved piecing, and designing my own patterns.
I have always hesitated doing my own free-motion machine quilting because my machine is so tiny. The biggest quilt I have free-motion quilted on my machine is my Craftsy 2012 BOM and it is only about 50" x 50". Honestly one of my long term goals is to eventually get my own longarm machine, but that is a big financial and space investment, and I currently cannot commit to either. (Mama needs a new car first). I have several minis and pillows on my to make list for 2015, so I al going to try and practice several different types of fmq on those.
|Tiny machine is tiny.
Next on my list is overcoming my fear of curved seams. I have never made a quilt block that involved curved seams. I have actively avoided them, which I find kinda funny because I started garment sewing long before I started quilting and I can sew an armhole or sweetheart neckline without breaking a sweat. I think the fact that those two things are not supposed to lay flat is what makes it easier. So this year I am going to tackle quilty curves. I think I want to try out the Quick Curve Ruler and one of the patterns that goes with it, probably the Metro Rings.
|image via
As far as sewing goals go, I want to focus on making myself more everyday garments. I loved this post over at Sew Mama Sew about how to transition to a mostly handmade wardrobe. When I started sewing in 2004 it was because I wanted to make clothes for myself, and I would really love to get back to that. I have tons and tons and tons of patterns, and I even have the fabric ready for several of them.
So my goal is to make myself at least 1 garment every month. I think that is definitely doable, heck they make like 40 garments in a month on Project Runway! The first one on my list is this pattern from Simplicity.
So those are my quilty and sewing goals for the year. I know they are probably going to change and adapt as the year progresses, but I am feeling good about where I am starting out.
What goals are y'all working towards this year?


text: Agency Profiles Each year, we take a closer look at four agencies in the rankings to see how they address employee engagement in their workplace. Click on an agency to view its profile. Small Business Administration Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Department of Health and Human Services U.S. Department of Agriculture Small Business Administration shows steady improvement in employee engagement The Small Business Administration, an independent agency that helps Americans launch, manage and grow their own businesses, has improved its Best Places to Work in the Federal Government employee engagement score for the third consecutive year. The agency's 2018 score rose by 2.6 points from 2017 to 62 out of 100 and earned SBA the title of most improved midsize agency, which it shares alongside the Federal Trade Commission. The SBA also showed steady gains in all 10 workplace categories measured in the Best Places to Work rankings, including a 6.2-point increase in strategic management, a 3-point rise in training and development opportunities and a 2.7-point jump in effective leadership. Chief Human Capital Officer Elias Hernandez credited this boost to SBA Administrator Linda McMahon, whose commitment to employee engagement has set the tone for the senior executive team. The agency reaffirmed this commitment in its 2018 strategic plan by calling for deeper investments in its workforce development and improving technology to help employees better do their jobs. As part of this effort, SBA introduced a more robust performance management process to align its workforce with the agency's strategic goals and hold managers and supervisors accountable for employee engagement. "It's not revolutionary," said Hernandez. "It's making sure that employees understand the priorities of the organization and that leaders communicate this down the chain to ensure that employees at every level remain in the loop." This vision also is incorporated into SBA's engagement agenda, which prioritizes employee recognition and training to build a workplace culture of learning. Through initiatives like the Action Planning Committee, started in 2013, agency leaders seek to identify challenges and implement solutions to better meet these priorities. One successful program is the "Kudos to You" award, where employees at all levels can recognize their peers throughout the year. Employees who stand out in areas like problem-solving, teamwork and civility receive electronic certificates to memorialize their accomplishments. Winners are also announced on the program's intranet site and, during Public Service Recognition Week, highlighted in email blasts throughout the agency. SBA also hosts the Ike awards, a more prestigious award program named in recognition of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who was a strong proponent of excellence in public service and proposed the creation of the Small Business Administration. Winners are recognized for their contributions to the agency in four separate categories at an annual awards ceremony."Ike is great because it recognizes teams, not just individuals," said Hernandez. "Employees can really feel recognized for their work – what they do for the benefit of the nation." But SBA's biggest driver of employee engagement comes from the Peer-to-Peer Power Hour, an initiative that lets employees act as leaders to promote knowledge sharing. Employees choose topics or skills that they would like to learn more about, such as understanding how to process contracts. Employees who consider themselves to be subject matter experts are recruited as guest speakers to deliver training sessions and share their knowledge across the agency. "It's an opportunity to transform SBA into a learning organization," said Hernandez. The initiative also helps to close the mission gap between SBA's program and field offices. Training sessions are often offered as live streams for field participants, which helps to foster collaboration and align goals across the various work locations. SBA's advice for building a culture of engagement? For Hernandez, this means leading through example. "This issue is that you must own employee engagement. Make sure employees understand the mission and give leaders the flexibility to be creative and innovative," Hernandez said. Using a top-down approach, SBA has focused on building the capacity of their workforce so employees understand where they fit in the organization and how they can more effectively achieve agency goals. Back to top Consumer Financial Protection Bureau experiences big drop in its employee engagement score Employee engagement plummeted at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in 2018. The CFPB, the federal organization responsible for consumer protection in the financial sector, registered a Best Places to Work in the Federal Government employee engagement score of 51.7 out of 100 in 2018, a drop of 25.2 points from 2017. The agency saw its ranking among midsize agencies fall from seventh in 2017 to 26th out of 27 organizations in 2018. In addition to the overall Best Places to Work engagement score, employee perceptions have deteriorated since 2017 in each of the 10 workplace categories that were measured. The biggest drop came on the issue of effective leadership, which reflects whether employees believe their leaders generate motivation and commitment and manage people fairly, while also promoting professional development, creativity and empowerment. The agency's effective leadership score fell 15.2 points to 54.9 out of 100 in 2018, with employee views of senior leaders—the top managers of the agency—dropping 35.6 points for a score of just 33.8. The view of employees regarding the strategic management capabilities of the agency leadership fell 14 points to 54.1 in 2018. Officials at the CFPB did not respond to repeated requests for comment on the possible reasons for the lower scores or whether they have plans to address employee issues identified by the Best Places to Work data. The agency experienced a good deal of turmoil during the past year, with a change in leadership taking place about five months before the employees took a 2018 workplace survey on which the Best Places to Work data is based. In November 2017, President Trump installed Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney as the acting director after Richard Cordray, the agency's first director who had held the post since 2013, stepped down. Mulvaney, who simultaneously maintained his role as White House budget chief, called for abolishing the agency while he served as a member of Congress from South Carolina. The CFPB was created under the Dodd-Frank financial reform law in the aftermath of the economic crisis. Following Mulvaney's appointment, several changes regarding the agency's work were implemented. This included easing oversight of payday lenders, cutting back enforcement actions, disbanding consumer advisory boards and proposing suspension of some of the agency's regulatory activities. In June, President Trump announced his intention to nominate Kathy Kraninger, an official at the Office of Management and Budget, as director of the CFPB. She was confirmed by the Senate on Dec. 6, 2018. Back to top Department of Health and Human Services Best Places to Work in the Federal Government score increases for fourth year in a row The Department of Health and Human Services improved its Best Places to Work in the Federal Government employee engagement score in 2018 for the fourth consecutive year, maintaining its second-place ranking among large agencies and experiencing increased satisfaction by the workforce on a range of job-related issues. The department registered a 2018 Best Places to Work employee engagement score of 70.9 out of 100, a 9.1-point increase from 2014. A number of HHS's subcomponents showed improvements in their scores, including the Office of the Inspector General (+2.5 points), and the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration (both +1.4 points). A handful of HHS agencies, however, experienced a decline in their employee engagement scores, including the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, which dropped 16.9 points for a score of just 33.4, and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, which fell 6.1 points for a score of 65.3. The data also shows the department improved in nine of 10 workplace categories measured in the Best Places to Work rankings, with HHS receiving the highest rating of 81.6 out of 100 for effectively using the skills and talents of its employees to support the organization's mission. The department's effective leadership score rose by 1.2 points to 62.3, while the work-life balance category remained static at 66.7. HHS officials said the senior leadership has made a commitment to improving employee engagement and workforce management, and has focused on such issues as employee recognition, communication and innovation. Johnathan Gardner, HHS's Director of Talent and Organizational Development, said the department analyzes the results from the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey, the basis for the Best Places to Work rankings, and then follows up with efforts to obtain additional employee feedback. He said the feedback from staff at all levels across the department has helped agency leaders develop focused plans to improve the employee experience. During one initiative known as Reimagine HHS, senior leaders from across the department convened during a two week period to discuss how to improve programs and reimagine how HHS serves the American people, making use of hundreds of ideas submitted by employees. Senior leaders synthesized these ideas into six strategic categories, including improving performance management. As part of this initiative, guides containing employee engagement best practices have been developed to support supervisors across the department. One guide outlines options for employee recognition and encourages managers to create work environments where employees are valued, according to Bahar Niakan, who leads the HHS Maximize Talent initiative. Niakan said many HHS components employ formal recognition programs as well as informal initiatives such as quarterly and Star Employee of the Month rewards to recognize the valuable contributions that employees make on a daily basis. The department also has a sustained focus on communication. As an example, HHS officials pointed to the Health Resources and Services Administration, where the administrator holds a quarterly agency-wide webcasts to provide direct interaction. These webcasts are seen by HRSA staff at the headquarters and at the 10 regional offices spread across the U.S. Niakan said these meetings have brought all levels of HRSA together, allowing staff members to have their questions answered in real-time. "It has really brought the most senior leaders closer to the staff," said Niakan. "It was so impactful, and I encourage other agencies to do it." One key driver of innovation at HHS has been the Ignite Accelerator, an internal startup program where teams of three to five employees come up with an idea to improve how their program, office or agency works. The program provides selected teams with coaching and technical guidance in a "fast-paced, entrepreneurial framework." Some of the projects have included prototyping an app that makes vaccination information digital and portable; the use of electronic health records to help the FDA more quickly detect patients harmed by medications or medical devices; and a mechanism to help NIH scientists better digitize, store and access scientific data. One challenge in creating an engaged workforce is the diverse nature of HHS, with each agency focusing on its own mission and priorities. Gardner said the leadership team is committed to improving the employee experience across the department, and from the highest levels to the lowest. Niakan's advice to agencies looking to improve employee engagement is simple: "Do not start from scratch. Look to the agencies where the best practices have already been implemented." Back to top U.S. Department of Agriculture loses ground in the Best Places to Work in the Federal Government rankings The Department of Agriculture experienced a significant decline in how its employees view their jobs and workplaces in 2018, with its Best Places to Work in the Federal Government employee engagement score falling nearly seven points from 65.9 to 59 out of 100. USDA dropped from seventh place in the 2017 rankings to 16th out of 17 large agencies in 2018. The 2018 results reversed a promising trend of improved employee engagement at USDA after four years of consecutive increases in the department's score. The USDA experienced decreases in every workplace category measured in the rankings. The biggest losses came in employee ratings of senior leaders, the extent to which employees feel empowered with respect to work processes and their involvement in decisions, and support for diversity. In addition, the employee engagement scores dropped across USDA subcomponents and offices included in the rankings. The Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey, on which the Best Places to Work engagement scores are based, was taken by the workforce at a time when the department's leaders were implementing plans to reorganize mission areas, agencies and functions. "USDA has been active in implementing a new agenda that is geared toward improving the programs we deliver—all with the intent of improving customer service," said Don Bice, USDA's acting deputy assistant secretary for administration. The leaders combined the Farm Service Agency (down 4.4 points), the Risk Management Agency (down 9.4 points) and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (down 5.0 points) into one mission area called Farm Production and Conservation. The goal of the move was to better coordinate services provided by agencies that directly serve farmers and ranchers. USDA leadership also recently proposed relocating two subcomponents, along with their employees, outside of Washington, D.C. by 2019. These subcomponents, the Economic Research Service and the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, registered drops of 8.0 and 8.9 points in their engagement scores respectively. "Change is always difficult," said Bice "And this may have led to some changes in employee perceptions." Leaders also changed the department's telework policy in January 2018, several months before the survey was taken by employees. The department issued guidance restricting the number of days employees could telework to two days during each two-week pay period. Previously, employees authorized for telework were only required to be in the office for two days each pay period. Only 38 percent of employees reported being satisfied or very satisfied with the department's telework policy in the 2018 survey, down from 81.4 percent the previous year. Bice said the telework policy is intended to be respectful of the large majority of USDA employees who report to a physical location for work each day. Although some employees are teleworking fewer days per week, Bice said, there has been a 24 percent increase in the number of employees deemed eligible for telework and a 53 percent increase in the number of employees routinely teleworking. Bice said the USDA is taking steps to improve employee engagement in the future. "We do take the employee survey results very seriously," he said. "All members of the Senior Executive Service in their performance plans must consider employee feedback, including from the employee survey, and respond to the results." Bice said one issue that stood out in the survey was a concern by employees that the department does not handle poor performers effectively. "So we are trying to deal with that issue," Bice said. Specifically, the leadership has redefined and standardized the timeframe around performance plans for employees identified as poor performers. The amount of time employees were required to be on performance improvement plans before further action could be taken varied across the department, with some agencies requiring up 120 days. Bice said now there is no minimum length of time for employees to demonstrate improvement, but any longer than 30 days must be approved by USDA's chief human capital officer. Back to top

Gill Foundation Donates Over 300 Million in Support of LGBTQ Charities
Tim Gill, a Colorado high-tech multimillionaire warns that his Gill foundation will " punish the wicked "—anyone who is against the advancement of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans.
The Gill Foundation was created with a $300 million endowment to promote LGBT legislation. Based in Denver, the foundation has worked against religious freedom measures since 1994.
"It's the religious right that decided to make marriage an issue. They worked tirelessly on it for decades, and they lost," Gill said in a recent interview in Rolling Stone magazine.
Gill was inspired after the 2015 Supreme Court case Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage in all 50 states.
More Recently, Gill has fought against the proposed Religious Freedom Restoration Act, or RFRA, in Georgia.
Gill's involvement started with an amendment to the Colorado Constitution, known commonly as Initiative 2, according to an interview he gave at Yale University. Initiative 2, which was passed but later overturned in court, proposed that no state law could assign protected status for sexual orientation.
"My assistant's assistant at Quark had actually voted in favor of [passing the amendment]," Gill said. "I thought, 'She says I should be able to be fired for being gay; that sexual orientation shouldn't protect me.' I thought, 'Maybe I should fire her.'"
Instead, he donated $1 million to the effort to overturn the amendment.
"When I look around the country, I see people that are victims of hate crimes," Gill said in a promotional video for his foundation, explaining his activism.
Gill's political efforts are funded by his success in the tech industry. Raised in a Republican family, he made his fortune as a programmer.
Gill sold his stake in Quark, his software startup, for $500 million in 1992, Rolling Stone noted. He then moved into LGBT activism full time and has since shifted 60 percent of his assets into an endowment for the Gill Foundation.
