SEO, Search Engine Optimization is a method to guide if a site is approachable to a search engine or not and to increase the possibilities of the site being found by the search engine. The main purpose of successful SEO is to get a top-ranking position in the results page of a search engine for example Google, Bing, Yahoo etc. If the site is placed in the top 5 rankings then it would be easier for the internet users to find and approach the site page because no one opens up all the rankings. It is natural to open up something which is easy to approach, so a website should be promoted or enhanced in such a way that it gets into the top ranking or positions as soon as it is developed.
SEM, Search Engine Marketing, mostly considered a vast term than SEO. It mostly deals with researching, developing, launching and placement of websites, while SEO deals only with the promotion of websites and their rankings. It also comprises of paid listings, search engine optimization, and other services and methods related to search-engine that help in the exposure, promotion and making the website easily approachable to the users.
SEM gives an opportunity to be paid on clicks, as in you get paid on the advertisement of the web site. The more you click for advertisement, the more you get paid. A successful campaign is that in which the ads are shown to the consumers who are specially looking for those kinds of products and services. It results in a very successful conversion rate.
SEO versus SEM, there is no competition between the two, as both are considered different mediums but SEO is said to be a component of SEM because of the vastness of the medium. But both mediums involve marketing so this can be a similarity between them.
SEO comprises of a one-time payment tracked by other side maintenance fees, making it an expensive business proposal for amateur or unqualified businessmen and dealers having an insufficient investment. While SEM on the other hand, is a paying job then SEO because you get paid for the usage. In SEM one can foresee the cost efficiency which is helpful to the amateur or young businessmen or dealers with a small amount of money. SEO has an ability to create organic promotion, which provides a sound usage to your website. It includes organic listings, highly beneficial if you want to get higher ranks, positions or placement on Google. While SEM prefers sponsored advertisement and planned a way or method of getting more trades or deals for you enterprise. SEO is an extravagant method that takes time in the first pay off, while SEM pays you per click advertisement so it doesn't involve a long process unlike SEO.
SEO, Search Engine Optimization is considered a tricky component of SEM, Search Engine Marketing campaign. The collaboration of both has an effective impact on the promotion or campaign of your online enterprise as, both are equally essential for running an online business and one should have a complete knowledge of both mediums and should be able to distinguish between them.

A Time for Boldness and Honesty: 21st Century Scottish Radicalism
Gerry Hassan
Scottish Review, July 23rd 2014
The independence referendum has seen an explosion of radical and progressive thinking and activism. Where there was once silence and disillusion, now there is hope, excitement and imagination.
There is the generosity and pluralism of National Collective, the breadth and reach of the Radical Independence Campaign (RIC), and the energy and dynamism of the Jimmy Reid Foundation. Then there is a wider set of trends looking at how to develop a deeper democracy from the work of So Say Scotland and its Citizen's Assembly, 'the art of hosting' processes, and the Electoral Reform Society's work on deliberative democracy.
The above – with all its undoubted positives – has to be put in historical and political context, understanding the shortcomings and failures of the left generally, and the Scottish left in particular. This is an essential prerequisite if this outburst of energy and radicalism is to have a lasting effect on the Scottish body politic. Read the rest of this entry »
The UK has failed but we have to address Scottish shortcomings
Gerry Hassan
Newsnet Scotland, April 26th 2014
The Scottish independence debate is about many things. It is about the state of modern Scotland and its different possible futures. But it is also about the condition of the UK, its multiple crises and how these impact north of the border.
The state of the United Kingdom is one of the main drivers of the Scottish debate. It has become an accepted fact that the UK is one of the most unequal countries in the developed world, ranked fourth in a study by Prof. Danny Dorling of Oxford University. London is, on some indicators, the most unequal city in the entire developed world.
The City of London and London as a world city 'crowd out' the rest of the UK: the latter accounting for 12% of UK population and 22% of GDP. The UK has become disfigured by uneven economic development on a scale unseen in the rest of Western Europe. Then there is the level of debt which the UK has counting personal, corporate and state debts which has fallen from 502% in September 2012 to 471% at the end of 2013 according to McKinsey: the second highest of any major economy apart from Japan. Government debt, the part that obsesses Cameron and Osborne, represents just over one-sixth of all UK debt. Read the rest of this entry »
The Rise of a Very Different Nation: The Emergence of 'the Third Scotland'
Gerry Hassan
The Guardian, April 23rd 2014
The Scottish independence referendum has in the past few months become more alive and interesting. The polls have narrowed markedly and what was previously seen by many on the pro-union side as a mere formality has become a real competitive contest.
Such a swift transformation has left most of the British political classes and media struggling to catch up with events. But it has also left large parts of pro-union Scotland feeling bewildered and disorientated at the pace of change.
Scotland has slowly and unambiguously become another country. This has been a very gradual, quiet revolution, one without obvious leaders, champions or simple causes, which has happened over decades and the past century. It has been one in which the key transition points have not been simple, sudden or clear. Read the rest of this entry »
George Robertson and the Scots' Crisis of Unionism
Gerry Hassan
Scottish Review, April 16th 2014
Something seems to be seriously wrong in the pro-union campaign, 'Better Together'.
They may still be ahead in the polls, but the gap has narrowed significantly. Two years of dire warnings about the perils of 'separatism' and 'tearing Scotland out the United Kingdom' have only exposed the threadbare, tetchy character of the pro-union argument so far.
In November last year 'The Economist' declared the referendum won for the union; now it reflects on the 'teflon' qualities of Scottish nationalism, and the incessant 'pessimism' of the pro-union side. Beyond George Robertson's dire warnings of 'cataclysmic' geo-political consequences and 'the forces of darkness' a sea change is happening in Scotland which will have an impact long after the referendum.

Sceptical Scotland needs to be listened to and respected
Gerry Hassan
Scottish Review, April 9th 2014
There are many Scotlands – generational, by social background, interests, opinions and beliefs.
One Scotland that tends to get overlooked is the thoughtful, but sceptical part of our nation – not Yes but not completely No – who look on with bewilderment and an element of confusion at much of what passes for public debate. We owe it to ourselves to reach out and to understand this Scotland.
Refrains heard recently from this group include, 'When will this be over' and 'When will it ever end'. What does this sense of wariness and resignation signify? Part of it must be an understandable revulsion from the official politics/media 'civil war without the guns'. But something else is at work which can be summarised as a contest between the Scotland of myth – of our society as a comfortable, centre-left place versus the potential of this debate to demythologise and challenge these myths. That is uncomfortable for some.
Second, there is for some doubt about the Scottish Government prospectus on independence, summarised in the view, 'I distrust the bright, shiny, optimistic take on independence being put forward'. Read the rest of this entry »

The Labor Department's fiduciary rule has partially taken effect, but its future, much like its past, is shrouded in uncertainty.
Two provisions of the measure, which requires financial advisers to act in the best interests of their clients in retirement accounts, become applicable today. One expands the definition of who is a fiduciary, and the other establishes impartial conduct standards.
How much of the rest of the rule will survive is an open question.
(More: The DOL fiduciary battle is just beginning)
In late May, Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta said that part of the rule would go into effect while the agency continues to review the entire regulation under a mandate from President Donald J. Trump that could result in its revision or repeal.
"This entire process has been defined by uncertainty," said Josh Lichtenstein, an associate at Ropes & Gray. "Even as we have partial implementation on June 9, that uncertainty will still remain."
The final rule was released in April 2016, nearly six years after it was first proposed by the Obama administration. The initial implementation date of April 10 was delayed for the Trump administration's reassessment, which likely will continue until the Jan. 1 implementation deadline for the entire rule. But the DOL has indicated that the Jan. 1 deadline may be pushed back.
Unlike other Obama administration regulations finalized closer to the November election, Congress could not scrap the fiduciary rule through a special legislative process. Instead, the measure is being subject to what may become a lengthy rethink.
"This is uncharted territory," said Charles Field, a partner at Sanford Heisler Sharp. "I've never seen anything like this."
The volatility surrounding the DOL rule amped up two weeks ago when the Securities and Exchange Commission released a request for comment about fiduciary duty. With that move, the SEC jumped back into an issue it had been sidestepping since the Dodd-Frank financial reform law gave it the authority to promulgate a uniform standard for retail investment advice.
New SEC Chairman Jay Clayton said that he was in part responding to Mr. Acosta's offer to work together on a fiduciary regulation. Critics of the rule say that the SEC is the appropriate agency to set advice policy, while supporters of rule counter that it can cover insurance and other products that the SEC doesn't regulate.
"Predicting the final outcome is complicated by the fact that the SEC appears ready to enter the arena," said Hillel Cohn, a partner at Morrison & Foerster.
Although political divisions at the SEC have prevented the agency from acting on fiduciary duty in the past, the fact it has reasserted itself "adds a whole different layer to the calculus" about the DOL rule, said Erin Sweeney, a member at Miller & Chevalier.
"That itself could be a plausible reason for the DOL to take a look at its process or [call for a] joint process," said Ms. Sweeney. "It could grind [the DOL rule] to a halt."
For now, the two provisions that have gone into effect will govern adviser interactions with clients in retirement accounts. Under those provisions, advisers must give advice that is in the best interests of their clients, charge reasonable compensation and avoid "misleading statements" about investment transactions and what they're being paid.
Investment advisers, who already adhere to a fiduciary standard, won't have to make nearly as big a change to their practices as brokers, who meet a less stringent suitability standard, and insurance sales professionals, who are regulated by states.
But those who are adjusting how they give advice have caught a break from the DOL, which said that until Jan. 1, it "will not pursue claims against fiduciaries who are working diligently and in good faith to comply with the fiduciary duty rule."
Even though advisers will be operating on scout's honor until the first of the year, the fact that the two parts of the rule are now applicable is a victory for supporters of the rule. Opponents wanted the whole measure put on hold during the DOL review.
"It's a very big step forward for people who are saving for their retirement," said Maureen Thompson, vice president for public policy at the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards Inc. "It's the first major [investor protection] improvement in a long time."
Large broker-dealers have been changing their pricing on products and advice to comply with the rule. Independent brokers and advisers are likely to alter the kind of advice they prescribe, said Laura Anthony, founding partner of Legal & Compliance.
"Those smaller firms will stop making investment recommendations except for the most conservative products and strategies," Ms. Anthony said. "That will conflict with what could be the interests and objectives of account holders, if they have an aggressive growth plan."
Although the provisions that have gone into effect won't have enforcement teeth until January, or maybe beyond, the prognosis for their survival is good.
"What becomes effective on June 9 is likely to stick," Mr. Lichtenstein said.
What happens to the rest of the rule, including the most controversial parts, is up in the air.
For instance, disclosures about compensation and other conflicts, as well as the right for investors to file class-action suits against advisers that are part of the best-interest contract, could be changed or scrapped. The legally binding agreement lets advisers charge variable compensation as long as they put clients' interests ahead of their own.
In a May 22 Wall Street Journal op-ed, Mr. Acosta indicated the DOL is inclined to revise the rule. Opponents will get another chance to make their case when the DOL issues a request for information, the timing of which was imminent as this story went to press.
"The new RFI will be a solid procedural foundation for discussing necessary changes to the rule and the exemptions," Bradford Campbell, a partner at Drinker Biddle & Reath, wrote in an email.
Supporters will once again argue for the rule's preservation.
"The rule itself is very much a compromise," Ms. Thompson said. "It recognizes different business models and forms of compensation. I'm not sure how much further a rule can be compromised. Even a deregulatory agenda requires there are certain protections people need. Will it be a challenge to keep them? Sure."

E-Vision Internet - In The Beginning
Commencing operations as a division of Lonicera Pty Ltd in 1998, E-Vision Internet was formed to fill a gap in providing cost effective permanent and semi-permanent dial up connections for the Small-Medium Business segment.
By 1999, E-Vision begun providing residential dial-up, as well as ISDN and Satellite connectivity as the hunger for bandwidth for emerging applications such as email and e-commerce first started to take hold. Within a few years E-Vision became one of the first providers to provide Business Grade DSL services through the startup Request Broadband - the first organisation to arrange access to Telstra's exchanges to install their own DSLAM equipment.
Time to Grow
In 2002, it was decided to let E-Vision stand on its own two legs - so E-Vision Internet Pty Ltd was created. Before long, E-Vision was providing national private networks, ethernet, fibre, microwave and more. Much of E-Vision's sucess and key points of differentiation come from being carrier neutral with the ability to bring together every connection technology from a range of carriers with full geographic coverage. E-Vision chooses its vendor partners carefully, ensuring that tight service level agreements can be met.
E-Vision's customers receive the benefit of a single provider meeting all of their data communication requirements - without the hassle of dealing with multiple vendor relationships.
Looking forward
In 2007, E-Vision begun building infrastructure to aggressively expand its capabilities in both corporate data services (including expanded private network capabilities, ethernet over copper) and now for the first time a focus on building a residential customer service with the experience gained from over nine years in business services.
With access to the largest DSL and network providers in Australia, E-Vision can supply your broadband and data needs just about wherever, and with whoever the infrastructure exists!
Today E-Vision has its headquarters in Huntingdale, Victoria and has national points of presence (see our network diagrams).

5 Quick questions with top model Teresa Lourenco.
1. You are a rawfoodie, what does that mean?
Teresa: Being a rawfoodie means eating everything that is still alive and uncooked. Once you cook foods above 104 degrees it looses all the enzymes and most of the vitamins and minerals. The diet consist of eating fresh vegetables , nuts , seeds,salads and fruit in the purest form . Nothing is processed.
2. What is your favorite food?
Teresa: I have so many favorite foods. A few things I couldn't live with out are coconuts , avocado, kale, hemp seeds, water melon, spinach, lemons all fruits and green leaves and salads. My favorite meal is a huge salad with mixed greens preferable fresh from the farmers market with avocado , hemp seeds, olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt and cayenne pepper.
3. Favorite restaurant in NYC?
Teresa: My favorite restaurants are Pure Food and Wine, Caravan of Dreams , Quintessence and ABC Kitchen. Sorry couldn't just pick one. If I had to choose just one it would be Pure Food and Wine. These are just my favorite spots in NYC.
4. What is your easy thing to take care of your skin or take off makeup?
Teresa: An easy take on skin is to eat the right foods. The purer the better. What you put into you body reflects to your skin. My skin care lines are very cheap and very simple.I wash my face with Dessert essence tea tree oil( I have been using it for over 10 years) . Then I spray my face with pure Rose water from Heritage.( Been using rose oil for 16 years). My moisturizers and serum's are the only things that I switch up but it has to be natural preferably organic . I love organic Argan oil for my face at night. For my body I use pure coconut oil or rose oil . I take my make up off with Rose water.
5. Favorite memory of a photo shoot? My favorite memories of photo shoots are always the one's shooting in a tropical Island and feeling like I am on a vacation rather than at work. Eating fresh local foods and drinking lots of coconut water. I have always been the one to request coconuts whenever I am working in a tropical place.

As mentioned in the comments somewhere down there, yes I started smoking again.
Two and a half years of smoke-free living down the drain.
In my defense, I always go back to smoking during very stressful times in my life, and we had some definite stressful times in April when my brother in law passed away. Yea, I know, it's almost June and that's really no excuse.
I'll quit again. Soon. Really. And then we can all enjoy the craziness that occurs when Michele is going through nicotine withdrawal.

XIX The Grand Ducal family visiting the fortress of my beautiful capital on 17.7.1999
The following text about the fortress is from this link:
The Fortress
The mighty fortress started by Count Siegfried atop the Rock of Bock in 963 eventually became a citadel with three girdles of battlements, the inner one fortified with bastions, and the other two containing a total of 24 forts along their length. As the centuries passed the stone cliff foundations underneath the castle were excavated to form a network of 14 miles (23km) of underground tunnels, called casemates, where thousands of soldiers could shelter and workshops for artillery and arms, kitchens, bakeries and slaughter-houses could be housed. The fortress saw many sieges and battles, until 1867 when the Treaty of London declared that it be demolished. Despite this, several sections of the fortress still remain, and the subterranean casements are open for viewing. Visitors can also enjoy a sound and light tour on the history of the castle. The best way to view the remaining parts of the fortifications is on foot, strolling through the cobbled streets of the old town, armed with a map from the tourist office (on the Place dArmes).

8. Grand Duke Henri on the market
9. the family walking in the town with the palace in the background (certainly they know who the owner is:D )
Thank you drimal for the photos and the history of the fortress. The area looks so beautiful. :)
thanks for the wonderful pics, drimal. i especially love the one in which sebastien is playing with guillaume's hair and the one in which felix has his arms around sebastien. i think it's a wonderful thing to show how open and warm they are in public.
Yes....last thread, I saw a couple of pictures of Alex and Guillaume that really showed how they like each other.....It´s a very united family...
Guess what?! It's Princess Alexandra's birthday tomorrow (Feb 16)! Happy Birthday!!!! :D :cake and flowers:
Yesterday the 24th anniversary of Henri and Maria Teresa (nice date to marry on Valentin's Day!:) ) and tomorrow Princess Alexandra 14th anniversary.:)
Two good reasons to congratulate. I guess that they will certainly celebrate Alexandra's birthday in the close family although they are still in grief!;)
In German there is a beautiful proverb: Nach Regen kommt wieder Sonnenschein. (After the rain the sun will shine again).

XX Princess Alexandra giving her name to a solar ship in 2002
In summer 2002 Princess Alexandra gave her name to a solar ship. It is a tradition that members of the Grand Ducal family are giving their names to ships or plane. (Best example is Princess Marie Astrid who baptized 5 ships with her name in her whole life.)
That is just crazy. She was only 11 at the time!
That's so cool!!! :D Does Maria Teresa have any ships named after her? Just a thought, are ships generally named after women only?
golly...how funky is that...only 11 and already has a ship named after her *sighs* when will it be my turn? ^___^ Does she have anything else named after her?
drimal posted a story, a couple of months(weeks?) ago, i think, about her having a school named after her in luxembourg...kewl, huh.
Here is a link to a young researcher who explains why ships are "she":
Planes are generally named after men; in Luxembourg, the Fokker F27 (1) was baptised on 7th May 1962 on the name "Prince Henri", the Fokker F27 (2) on the name "Prince Jean" on 9th April 1965, in September 1967 the Fokker F27 83) on the name "Princesse Margaretha" (an exception;) ), the Fokker 50 (1) and (2) on 12th December 1989 on the names "Prince Guillaume" and "Prince Félix", and the Fokker 50 (3) on 28th June 1990 on the name "Prince Louis".
PS: No ship is named after Maria Teresa and the reason is the following; only children of the Grand Ducal family have the right to give their name to ships and planes.;)
i certainly wouldn't mind having a ship named after me. too bad, this comes only with being the child of a grand duke, rather than the spouse.
i'm sure mt was and/or is happy for her children and her other family members. she doesn't seem the type to be too ambitious, especially when it comes to having a ship or plane named after herself.
She seems to put her family before herself.
definitely, MT would probably do anything for her family before she did anything for herself. so about the school that will be named after Alexandra where abouts in Luxembourg is it? and is it a special kind of school? ^___^
hey doesn't Alexandra kind of look like the actress Michelle Trachtenberg?
this is a picture of the actress...
A little, but the hair and eyes are different.
I love mt i dont even know her but you can tell how much she loves her children

Studies in Genesis 3
But the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." (Genesis 3:4-5 ESV)
What does God know? He knows everything. God is omniscient. He knows what will happen as well as what could have happened. Yet, this is not what the Deceiver means by "for God knows."
"For God knows" suggests God is fully aware that the consequences of eating the fruit against His direction is not undesirable death but something desirable. God is actively keeping Man away from that which may bring a benefit by suggesting a negative will happen. Nothing in the garden, or created by God, is designed to harm or hurt. All of the trees of the garden which bear fruit are good for food. There is no reason to not eat from every tree other than God said do not eat from a specific tree, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The Deceiver is telling Eve it knows something about God she does not because God has kept it from her.
There is nothing magical in the fruit. There is no reason for Eve, or Adam, to believe the fruit is anything other than food. If the fruit had no magical properties, but was simply nutritious and good for food, then God, in giving the command, is not concerned about Man's physical body but the thinking of Man's heart. Awareness of good and evil is a perception and understanding of the moral-emotional self that would affect every aspect of life, physical, mental, emotional, willful, and spiritual. It is not the physical properties of the fruit which are being denied but the willful disobedience to a command given by God is being encouraged.
The Deceiver turned God's command on its head by implying the physical properties of the fruit had some unknown magical element which would give something, some unidentified quality, missing from Man. God obviously did not finish what He had started when He created Man, even in His image, and was malevolently denying Man that which would complete them.
God's image in Man includes the intellectual, the moral-emotional, the will, dominion and many other spiritual qualities. The Deceiver's statement challenges every aspect of God's relationship with Man. Intellectually, the challenge is to learn that which is supposedly being withheld. Morally, the lie states God is the liar and cannot be trusted. Trust is an emotional response sandwiched between intellectual beliefs and the will. People will do that which their heads (the intellect and beliefs) and their heart (the emotions) tell them to do. Finally, God gave Man dominion over the earth and everything in and on it. By withholding the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil God has limited that dominion.
God's purpose in embedding His image in Man is for relationship. Man is not God but like Him enough for each to relate to the other. By subverting the relationship, suggesting it is not and cannot be what God has made, the Deceiver seeks to sever the relationship and subvert the image of God in Man. These statements show deliberate intent to do that which is contrary to the will of God.

Do I Have Enough Waste For a HOTBIN?
Thursday, 15 February 2018 | HOTBIN Composting
Will I have enough waste to keep the HOTBIN hot composting?
The HOTBIN composts aerobically and at temperatures between 40-60°C hot composting is 32 times faster than traditional cold composting. Hot composting also allows you to compost a wider variety of waste such as cooked food, bones and weeds as at these higher temperatures pathogens and weeds seeds are destroyed.
How can you achieve hot composting temperatures?
To maintain temperatures of 40-60°C you will need to feed the HOTBIN a minimum amount of waste each week.
Approximately 5kg (10 litres) of waste, that's one large or 2 small kitchen caddies per week. This volume can be made up from both kitchen and garden waste. The better the mix of waste the more effectively the HOTBIN will work.
What happens if I have less waste?
The HOTBIN will only stay hot (between 40-60°c) with regular feeding of the minimum amount of waste.
If you have less waste, you may still be able to use the HOTBIN; however it will operate at a lower temperature meaning that the waste will take longer to breakdown and you will be unable to compost certain wastes (cooked food, weeds, bones etc) as there will not be enough heat in the bin to destroy the pathogens in these types of waste.
|Household Size
1-2 people
|3-5 People
2 small caddies, about 5kg
(10 litres) of food waste a week
|5-10 people
1 large caddy 5 kg (15-30 litres)
of food waste every 2 days.
Garden Size
Grass (Lawn)
None or very small.
Less than two boxes per week
Medium garden generating cuttings, pruning's and leaves etc.
2-4 boxes of grass a week
Large garden generating cutting, pruning's, many autumn leaves, enough tree/woody plants to possibly warrant a shredder. A clear up fills 1m3 pallet type bin.
More than 4 boxes of grass a week
|Current 'cold' compost use
|Not enough waste to fill 1 plastic cone composter.
|Need at least 2-3 plastic cone composters which always seem full.
|Probably 2-3 large (1m3/each) pallet/compost heaps.
|HOTBIN Units
|You are unlikely to have enough waste to keep the HOTBIN hot. You will still be able to compost quicker with the HOTBIN than in a traditional cold composter, but you may struggle to maintain constant hot composting temperatures.
Likely to need 1 HOTBIN.The HOTBIN is designed for a medium household (3-5) people with a small to medium sized garden.
|Likely to need 2 HOTBINs to cope with the large volume of waste.
If you are unsure how much waste you generate in volume terms it may help to know that the average 4 person household with a medium garden generates roughly 250kg of food waste and 300-400kg of green garden waste per year. This equals approximately 500-1000 litres of waste in total per year.
If you are looking to compost both kitchen and garden waste in the HOTBIN we would advise measuring the volume of kitchen waste rather than your 'garden waste' volumes. During winter most people have less garden waste and so you will need the volume of kitchen waste to keep the HOTBIN running at hot composting temperatures.

text: Now to the second part of the heading, Google is definitely getting more social. Google Friend Connect has been out for a while now, yesterday Google announced a new social bar and a new social web blog. This can be placed at the top or bottom of your page and will basically allow visitors to interact with each other. For more details check out the video below. I think this is going to be big for Google. People are getting tired of being social on just a handful of sites that, for the most part, remain very static and have very little customization. Also, similar people look at similar websites, this will allow people to socially connect easier. Great work Google.

Winning Each Half-Hour, ABC Delivers a Summer-Best in Adults 18-49 and Turns in its Second-Highest Non-Sports Summer Rating Since 2005
ABC's "The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All" Hits Summer-High Numbers for ABC from 8-10pm and Improves on its Year-Ago Performance in Viewers and Adults 18-49
Posting Summer-High Ratings at 10pm, "Dating in the Dark" Premieres with a
Time Period Winning Performance Across All Key Adult Demographics
"Dating in the Dark" Improves on ABC's Year-Ago Deliveries at 10pm
By 3.0 Million Viewers and by 79% in Adults 18-49
Monday Night (8:00-11:00 p.m.)
Winning each half-hour in prime among young adults, ABC's Monday lineup ranked No. 1 on the night with a summer-high performance among Adults 18-49 (2.6/8). In fact, ABC saw its strongest summer performance among young adults in over 1 year and its 2nd-best with non-sports programming since summer of 2005 – since 7/7/08 and 8/15/05, respectively.
"The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All" (8:00-10:00 p.m.)
"The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All" matched a summer-best performance for the Net in the time period in both Total Viewers (8.0 million) and Adults 18-49 (2.7/8). The "Men Tell All" qualified as the No. 1 program of the night across each of the key Women demographics (Women 18-34 – 3.8/12, Women 18-49 – 4.0/11 and Women 25-54 – 4.2/11). In addition, the unscripted program took the Net to the top spot in its two-hour time period for the 4th straight week and for the 7th time in the last 8.
- "The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All" saw increases over its year-ago performance (6/30/08) by 7% in Total Viewers (8.0 million vs. 7.5 million) and by 4% in Adults 18-49 (2.7/8 vs. 2.6/7).
"Dating in the Dark" (10:00-11:00 p.m.)

"Dating in the Dark" stood as the No. 2 program of the night among Women 18-34 (3.1/10) and Women 18-49 (3.4/10), behind only "The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All."
- "Dating in the Dark" improved ABC's performance in the hour on the same night last year (7/21/08) by 3.0 million viewers (6.3 million vs. 3.3 million) and by 79% among Adults 18-49 (2.5/7 vs. 1.4/4).

A note about increasing DVR penetration and year-to-year rating comparisons: Year-to-year rating comparisons based on the Live + Same Day data stream are distorted by the level of DVR penetration in the Nielsen sample, which has jumped up to 32% currently, from 25% at the same point in 2008. More viewers are watching shows on their own timetables, which may not be reflected in the overnight next day numbers. The only truly valid year-to-year comparison would be one based on the Live + 7 Day metric, once those stats are released by Nielsen.

Calm beaches, clear water and sunny skies; Andaman and Nicobar Islands have it all. They are the best place to visit if some wants to quench their thirst for travel. Almost 600 islands to explore, it is like a lottery for someone with wanderlust. There are so many ways in which you can enjoy your stay on these islands. Doesn't matter for how many days you stay, each and every day spent at Andaman and Nicobar Islands would be filled with adventure. Some of the ways in which you can spend your time here and enjoy it fully are:
Who wouldn't love to watch the beauty that these oceans behold underneath the water surface? Each one of us would. You can swim with the schools of fish underneath water by doing scuba diving. You don't need swimming skills for this if you go for the basic scuba diving. You can even walk through all the plants and fishes. Trainers are available for each and everything and you can do both the things under expert supervision.
Looking at the beautiful fishes and walking through the blue ocean water would be the best thing you will ever experience as you can see the marine life and the rare corals. There are some corals which grow especially on these islands and you can actually see them. Sometimes, some paces are closed for some time so that the corals can grow beautifully. There are many other water sports which you can experience.
What if the stars that you see in the sky come underneath your feet? You will probably say that that's far from possible. Actually, it's not. On a no moon night, if you visit the Havelock Island you will see that the water is glowing like there are stars on it. This happens because of the presence of phytoplankton in the water which glows like stars. It will be like the galaxy is under your feet. Kayaks can be arranged if you want to go further into the water and watch this miracle of light. It is very mesmerizing to watch. Nothing else is needed; you can just sit in the boat and watch those beautiful lights on the water. There will be no greater peace than that.
Flying in the air is already fascinating but Andaman and Nicobar Islands have an even more fascinating thing than that. You can fly in a plane over the sea. There is no way you can afford to miss this. Take a ride on the amazing sea plane and feel like royalty. You and your family will have the time of their life. You can choose to take a trip on the sea plane from Port Blair to where you are staying instead of taking the ferry which will take much more time. Save some time and have fun.
Trekking is one of the favourite things of tourists around the world. Getting to explore the dense forests on our own is another level of satisfaction. You can trek to the highest point of Andaman and Nicobar Islands or you can choose to trek from Mt. Harriet which is the third highest peak in the archipelago to Madhuban. There is beautiful dense forest all around on the way. You will feel so close to nature when you see all the greenery around you. The scenery is really breathtaking and like a blow of fresh air to our tensed minds. Loose all your worries and go on this trek.
Kaala pani or the cellular central jail is one of the most iconic places to visit on these islands. It has a history that goes way back to the time of independence. Even a person who doesn't like history would be pulled towards it because of the all the pain and suffering that the walls of this jail have seen. You can almost feel their pain. There is special light show organised on the premises in the evening which shows the story of the people who were kept prisoner in these walls. Even the architecture of the jail is so interesting; you can see how those prisoners were kept in total containment. You will surely shed a tear when you see the signs of torture on the walls. Spend a day in this area and see the light and sound show at the end. You will go back satisfied for sure.
I am sure your partner will ask you to walk with him/her because of the ambience of the white sandy beaches. Wherever you go, Havelock Island or Ross and Smith islands; you will surely find isolated beaches where you can spend a moment in peace. The beaches may be crowded in between but if you go on walking to either side of the coast you will find yourself in a completely isolated place. People who love to spend time with themselves and just lay down in peace; this is the best option for you.
You can even take a ferry and go from one island to another if you want to see the sunset. It will be so beautiful that you would never want to go back to the city. The serene beauty these islands provide us with is out of the world. Even the Ross and Smith islands are separated by just a small pathway, you can go from one island to another and you won't even know when you reached the second island. There are so many adventures that just wait for us to explore them.
Want to see thousands of species of birds in just one place? Chidiya tapu is the pace for you. It has tons of different birds that you can watch and sit in silence with your family. You can make a day out of it. It is a small island where you can sit and have picnic with your loved ones while watching the beautiful birds. Your heart will be filled with love for those little creatures and you would surely want to take one home but unfortunately, you can't. You can fill up your mind with all the beautiful memories and take them back home.
There are many other places like the Neil Island, Samudrika Marine Museum, Rajiv Gandhi Sports complex in Port Blair, Radhanagar beach in Havelock Island, Mahatma Gandhi marine national park, mud volcanoes of Baratang, an active volcano at Barren Island, Mongluton rubber plantations, limestone caves in Baratang and the list will never end.
Final Words
Pack your whole wardrobe and spend time here and you will feel refreshed. Moreover, by using the goibibo coupons you'll save extra on your travel expenditures and can avail discounts on hotels and other related expenses. You can get the best hotels from goibibo and make your stay even better. With some money saved and the nature's bounties you will have the time of your life for sure.
The best 7 ways to spend your time have been mentioned above. There isn't a place on these islands that you won't find interesting and entertaining. Each day you spend on these islands you will find yourself doing different kinds of adventures. Once you visit Andaman and Nicobar Island you will want to come back again and again.

Ok, so in reading this mornings devotional it got me thinking(as it should). In Girl Scouts I am always telling my troop that we all have very different and very amazing abilities. Each one is different and when working together we can make a huge difference. Yet in my own life I sometimes feel it is necessary for me to learn how to do something that I am clearly not good at.
Let's take braiding hair. I can not braid hair, even if my life depended on it. I'm always told how easy it is. Well, for me such a simple task is difficult…which bunch of hair did I just put over or was it under??? Okay, I think you get the picture.
But the reality is my girls are perfectly content with their unbraided hair. They thrive and survive all day long with their beautiful unbraided hair and I can do many other things that the other braiding mom's just can not do. Maybe it'll all make sense when I take the Knots and Latching class for my Girl Scout Troop but if that never happens, I'm okay with that.
Here's the daily devotional that started these crazy thoughts of braiding hair.
Your Abilities are God's Map for your life
by Rick Warren
via: http://www.purposedriven.com/blogs/dailyhope/
"May he equip you with all you need for doing his will. May he produce in you, through the power of Jesus Christ, every good thing that is pleasing to him." (Hebrews 13:21 NLT)
Once upon a time, there were some animals that wanted to start a school for animals. They decided the courses would include running, climbing, swimming, and flying. Then they decided that all of the animals should take all of the courses.
That's where the problem started. The duck was better than his teacher at swimming, but he only made passing grades in flying and was very poor in running. So they made him drop swimming and stay after school to practice running. This caused his webbed feet to be badly worn, and his grade dropped to average in swimming. But everybody felt less threatened and more comfortable with that — except the duck.
The rabbit started at the top of his class in running, but because of so much make-up work in swimming, he caught pneumonia and had to drop out of school. The squirrel showed outstanding ability in climbing, but he was extremely frustrated in flying class because the teacher insisted that he start from the ground up rather than the treetop down. He developed Charlie horses from over-extension, so he only got a "C" in climbing and a "D" in running. The eagle was the problem student and was disciplined for being a nonconformist. For instance, in climbing class, he beat all the others to the top of the tree, but he insisted on flying to get there. Finally, because he refused to participate in swimming class, he was expelled.
The point is that God has designed specific animals to excel in specific areas, and he doesn't expect them to do all the other things. When you expect everybody to fit in the same mold, all you're going to get is frustration, discouragement, mediocrity, and failure. A duck is made to be a duck and not something else.
And you were made to be you. God has given you unique abilities, and he wants you to use them the way he intended.
Your abilities are the map to God's will for your life. It points the direction. When you know what you're good at, then you can know what God wants you to do with your life.

Mailbox Locks
The United States Postal Service has some regulations in place regarding Mailbox Locks. Lucky for you Loc-Doc Security knows these regulations and would be glad to answer any questions regarding the Lock on your Mailbox.
- There are several reasons why someone may need to replace a Mailbox Lock. Usually it is because you have just moved into a new home and need some keys for your mailbox, or maybe you have lost your existing Mailbox Key.
- The United States Postal Service forbids any Lock Smith from decoding a Mailbox Lock. In other words, there are some legal matters surrounding that old mailbox that you just lost your key to. Fortunately, we have a solution to this issue.
- By replacing the lock on your Mailbox you can get a new set of keys and regain access (or restrict access) to your mailbox. Our Technicians have tons of experience with all types of locks and would love to help out with this.
Traffic Control
If you are in need of a Traffic Control solution, then you are in the right place. We have electronic control experts ready to install new gates or take a look at a malfunctioning one. Whether is is a sliding gate, a parking gate arm, a center split gate, or any other type of gate, we got you covered.
- There are a ton of different Traffic Control solutions out there. If you are feeling overwhelmed with options or even wondering if a Traffic Control solution is necessary for your property, we have the expertise to advise you.
- Most Traffic Control solutions involve some type of gate. There are sliding gates, parking gate arms, and even custom gates to name a few. We specialize in all types of electronic access control. Not sure if you need this type of solution? Here are some reasons you may want to have a Traffic Control Solution installed:
- Non-residents parking in the complex is causing residents to not be able to park in their designated areas.
- If people are using the complex as a cut through, a Traffic Control Solution can discourage thru traffic.
- Being able to track who enters and leaves the area and at what times. This is also a great way to prior plan for events and move ins.
- Our Technicians can even connect your Traffic Control Solution to an existing Access Control System! This allows people to use their access control credentials to enter and exit the complex or parking area.
Camera Systems
At one time or another, you've probably watched a television show in which an establishment's Security Cameras were able to provide a vital clue used to capture a criminal. This actually happens more often than you might think. Security Cameras can do even more than help solve a crime and catch a criminal, however.
- Crime Deterrent: Just the visual presence of surveillance equipment will deter many criminals from targeting your HOA. They would much rather move on to the easier target than take a chance of being caught. It is typically only on television that they race in with high-tech blocking equipment and know exactly what wires to snip. The reality is that most criminals will simply leave you alone when they realize you have security cameras.
- Resident Protection: Your residents will be safer and feel safer with security cameras operating. We can install these in the parking lot, for example, so people will be safer going to and from their vehicles.
- Documentation: By having your security cameras set to record, you have documentation needed in court should you ever be involved in a legal matter. Often you can use this recording to refute a claim right at the get-go and avoid costly legal issues. Furthermore, someone wanting to pull a scam is going to be less likely to try it in your HOA if they know there are cameras present that could prove their guilt.
Access Control
HOA's are a great place to have an Access Control system installed. This is because of the wide variety of needs that an HOA community presents. Whether it is your pool, tennis courts, or common areas, we got you covered.
- The decision to install an Access Control system in your HOA Community is a smart one. There are many reasons to install such a system. Here are few ways you can expect to benefit:
- Control access to your HOA's club house. Club house's typically have many entrances. There could be a gym, a kitchen, a laundry area, and much more all inside this one building. By utilizing Access Control, you can easily restrict access to different areas of the club house through out the day and night hours.
- Outdoor Areas are also a good use case. Have a beautiful tennis court in the community but want to discourage night time play? Using Access Control gives you the power to have an automatically locked down gate.
- Pools are by far the most popular Access Control options. Lets face it, when the summer heat set in, having a sign just doesn't stop the kids from two neighborhoods over jumping in your pool. A gate with a key fob tends to work much better!
- We also have some other services regarding pool gates.
Pool Gates
The Fire Marshall and Health Inspector are required to come and periodically inspect your Pool Gate. They have strict guidelines on exactly how your gate is supposed to operate. If you are not careful, you may be delaying your pool opening due to a failed inspection.
- There is really no messing around when it comes to Pool Gates. If your pool gate is not up to code, you not only won't be able to open on time for the season, but may cause a dangerous situation for one or more of your residents.
- If you are worried that your gate is not up to code, or you are just looking to make some improvements on its functionality, we got you covered. Every year we service HOA Communities all over Charlotte, and the greater Charlotte region.
- Here are a few things you may want to check if you are unsure:
- Does the pool have a Single Means of Egress (fancy word for a good way to exit)?
- Does your gate utilize access control?
- If there is a Power Failure, will people still be able to exit your pool?
- Your best bet when it comes to Pool Gates is to give us a call. We have a ton of experience bringing gates up to code and even performing new installs. Our technicians can have you up and running in no time!

Jonathan Make, Communications Daily:
Lack of final FCC action on petitions about how pay-TV providers handle public, educational and government (PEG) channels has resulted in additional cable operators' moving the networks to digital tiers before all other channels have been switched, representatives of the programmers told us. That the FCC hasn't disposed of three petitions before it since February 2009 on whether cable operators must treat the programmers the same as commercial ones was cited in a new, emergency petition filed late Monday with the commission. In it, a Texas school district asked the commission to temporarily halt such PEG channel moves by AT&T and cable providers.
FCC action on the long-pending petitions didn't seem imminent before the new request was filed, agency and industry officials said. The commission may have held off (CD Nov 24 p6) while Comcast worked out the dispute that sparked one of the petitions. AT&T, the subject of the other two petitions, hasn't resolved those matters, PEG representatives said. A Media Bureau spokeswoman declined to comment on any of the petitions.
Time Warner Cable's plan to put all PEG channels on its Texas systems on the digital tier starting Oct. 1 is the latest "discrimination" against such programmers, the McAllen Independent School District said in the emergency petition for temporary standstill. To keep getting PEG channels including the district's, subscribers without newer DTV-capable sets must request the networks, pay extra to get a converter box and also pay more for the underlying service, the complainant said. "The School District has a special interest in maintaining the status quo. But it is not alone in this regard. Absent Commission action, operators can be expected to discriminate against PEG channels in many states."
Cable operators know "that if PEG channels can be delivered in a manner that makes it more difficult or expensive to receive the channels, they can recapture capacity for their own commercial purposes, and undercut one of the central public interest benefits provided by the Cable Act," the district said. It sought a standstill order requiring cable operators to carry PEG the same way they do TV stations to "protect" Texas municipalities and "prevent operators from taking advantage of the Commission's delay." An NCTA spokesman declined to comment.
The group has told the FCC that the 2009 petitions should be rejected and that going all-digital lets cable systems free up bandwidth.
Time Warner Cable had just gotten a copy of the petition and was reviewing it late Tuesday, a spokesman said. It's unclear why the 2009 petitions that led to the current one remain unresolved at the commission, said municipal lawyer Tim Lay of Spiegel & McDiarmid. The inaction "sends a message that if you need to free up some capacity, it's there, go after it" from PEG, said Lay, whose firm represented the Alliance for Community Media in filing one of the 2009 petitions. "Comcast has made some exceptions to that in its Michigan settlement" and may be careful in digitizing PEG elsewhere as it seeks regulatory approval for its planned purchase of control of NBC Universal, he added.
PEG issues haven't been on the front burner at the FCC, especially since the 2009 petition that drew the most internal interest, against Comcast, was settled, an agency official said. It's hard to tell if the school district's request will bring more attention within the regulator at the issue and action on PEG, agency and industry officials said. "We're looking at complete inaction for almost two years," said Executive Director Bunnie Riedel of American Community Television. "Given the circumstances, I don't hold a lot of hope that this petition by the school district is going to sway the FCC." But the district probably holds more sway than other PEG programmers with its arguments before the commission, she said.
"The concern is that silence" at the FCC on the 2009 requests "is being taken as commission approval of operators doing whatever they want with PEG," said municipal lawyer Joseph Van Eaton of Miller & Van Eaton, representing the district. "When the commission has a petition that's pending for 19 months and has done nothing, it looks like it's easy to take a shot at PEG" and "the more PEG dies, the less it matters what the commission does, so now is the time to act." Van Eaton said the school district would need several thousand set-top boxes to get its own programming should Time Warner Cable go through with its digitization plans.

NPGS Monthly Dinner Meeting—October 2
Nevada Petroleum and Geothermal Society Monthly Dinner Meeting: Thursday, October 2, 2014
Speaker: Donna M. Herring, firstname.lastname@example.com, Petroglyph Consulting, PO Box 586, Granville OH 43023
Topic: Structural re-interpretation of the Confusion Range "synclinoria" in western Utah leads to multiple new exploration targets in the Western Utah Thrust Belt
Where: Ramada Reno Hotel, 1000 East 6th Street, Reno, NV 89512
When: Cocktail Reception 6:30 PM, Skyline Bar, 14th Floor; Dinner Served at 7:00 PM
Cost: NPGS Members $20; Non-Members $23; Students $10
Abstract: The newly-recognized Western Utah Fold Belt provides significant opportunity for conventional petroleum exploration at moderate depths in an under-drilled frontier area. The northern Confusion Range, Snake Valley to the west, and Tule Valley to the east, in Millard County, Utah are expected to contain hydrocarbons in several trap configurations. Production targets analogous to both the existing Basin and Range fields of Nevada and to Utah Hingeline fields discovered only in the last decade are likely. Previous drilling targets over more than 50 years of exploration included surface anticlines and buried horsts, and about half of the seven wells drilled in the area had oil and/or gas shows. Conventional targets include classic Basin and Range horst accumulations trapped beneath valley fill, sub-thrust and roll-over traps beneath mountainous exposures, and subthrust/rollover traps beneath valley fill. The Mississippian and Devonian source rocks are well-studied in the literature, >1,000 m thick, average 2-3% TOC (up to 13%), and are not spent or over mature. The most promising reservoir rocks are massive Devonian carbonates in thrust/subthrust positions in the Confusion Range, and these carbonates plus Tertiary volcanics are potential targets below valley fill. Published basin burial modeling indicates oil generation from the Mississippian-Devonian source rocks prior to and contemporaneous with development of the folds and thrusts, as well as during Basin and Range structural development. Chemical remnant magnetization studies of prior workers show migration of hydrocarbons through the area both in the early stages of folding and post-folding/thrust emplacement. In short, preserved thrust structures could have been filled post-folding, pre-Basin and Range, and could also be filling now from the hydrocarbon kitchen in Snake Valley.
Please RSVP by Tuesday, September 30 with the following link:

Two New Geologists Join Cart/GIS—Rachel Wearne and Katie Ryan
NBMG welcomes two new cartographers, Rachel Wearne and Katie Ryan, to its Cartographic/GIS group. Both positions are funded entirely on grants and contracts. The Cartography and GIS lab is a specialty group within NBMG. They are a campus and community resource that specializes in producing geologic maps and other publications, as well as data management. They primarily work on NBMG projects, but are available for projects from other departments at UNR, other universities and state agencies, and industry.
Rachel Wearne is a newly hired Cartographic/Graphics Technician III and joins NBMG on September 15, 2014. Rachel received her Bachelor of Science in Geology from the University of Nevada, Reno in May of 2010. She began working for the Nevada Division of Minerals as a Geologist and GIS Specialist on the Abandoned Mine Lands program shortly before graduation. She has spent the past four years assisting in inventorying and securing abandoned mine land features throughout the state, planning for field work with contractors, staff, and summer interns, and working towards maximizing field data collection methods. Rachel has been very active in the Nevada Mining Association's Education Committee and has taught classes at teacher workshops in both Las Vegas and Reno since April of 2011. She has taught sessions on rocks and minerals in many elementary school classrooms in the Reno/Carson City area. She enjoys educating the public about geology and earth processes, looking at and creating maps, and spending time outdoors.
Katie Ryan was hired as a Cartographic/Graphics Technician I on July 1, 2014. Katie received her Bachelor of Science in Geology at the University of Nevada, Reno in 2010. Katie worked as a Jr. Exploration Geologist out of Elko, Nevada. After her graduation from the University, she worked in areas such as Long Canyon in the eastern Pequop Mountains, Northumberland Mine in the Toquima Range, Stevens Basin in Eureka County, and Cortez Hills Mine at Horse Canyon. Upon returning to Reno in 2011, Katie began working with the cartography group at the Bureau on a temporary basis. Along with processing samples in the Mineral Separates Lab, and working on a few short geothermal exploration drill programs, she has since helped to produce a compilation of all of the digital geologic maps of Nevada to the OneGeology Portal (onegeology.org), helped to create interactive geologic and geothermal maps from previously published data, and currently helps to maintain server data and geothermal data produced by Nevada and other states.

What Do the Parts of the Brain Control?
The brain is the most complex part of the body. It controls our movements, communication, decisions and emotions, as well as our organs. Neuroscientists from Duke University write that the human brain is composed of six basic parts: the medulla oblongata, the pons, the midbrain, the cerebellum, the diencephalon and the cerebrum.
If you are experiencing serious medical symptoms, seek emergency treatment immediately.
Different brain parts often work together to control the body's actions. Large areas are devoted to complex functions, such as the ability to have thoughts and feelings, to express them using language and to store them in memory. Neuroscientists are still working on deciphering which parts of the brain work together to accomplish such functions.
Medulla Oblongata
The medulla oblongata controls the lungs, the heart and blood pressure and contains reflex centers involved in vomiting, coughing, sneezing and swallowing.
"Pons" means "bridge" in Latin, and the pons functions as a bridge between different parts of the brain 23. It also controls sleep and consciousness, breathing, bladder control, hearing, equilibrium, taste, swallowing, eye movement and the secretion of saliva and tears.
The midbrain, together with the pons and the medulla, builds the brainstem, and contains several parts. The tectum controls eye movement, auditory and visual reflexes and processing. The tegmentum controls reflexes. The cerebral peduncles influence voluntary motor functions. The Substantia negra produces dopamine, which controls many functions in the brain, including behavior, cognition, voluntary movement, sleep, mood, attention and learning 23.
The cerebellum, or "little brain," is involved in the regulation and coordination of movement, posture, balance and motor learning.
Two important structures of the diencephalon are the thalamus and the hypothalamus. The thalamus serves as a relay between the cerebral cortex and other parts of the brain. All sensory signals except smell enter the thalamus, and its neurons send them further to the cerebral cortex for processing.
The hypothalamus is involved in homeostasis, or the body's equilibrium, emotions, thirst, hunger and circadian rhythms, or the body's sleep/wake cycle. It also regulates the autonomic nervous system that controls the inner organs. The hypothalamus controls the pituitary gland, which produces hormones that influence other hormone-producing glands.
The cerebrum, together with the diencephalon, builds the forebrain. The cerebrum is the largest part of the human brain, and is associated with higher brain functions, including thinking 23. The outermost part of the brain is the cerebral cortex. The cortex has two hemispheres: the left, which controls the right side of the body, and the right, which controls the left side. The right side is more artistic, while the left is more rational.
The cortex is divided into four sections or lobes. The frontal lobe is associated with reasoning, planning, problem solving, language and higher emotions, such as empathy and altruism. The parietal lobe controls movement, orientation, visual attention and perception of pain and touch. The occipital lobe controls visual sensation and processing, and the temporal lobe is associated with hearing, speech, memory and emotion.
Buried in the cerebrum is the limbic system, the "emotional brain." It contains the amygdala and the hippocampus, as well as parts of the thalamus and the hypothalamus. The amygdala is involved in emotions such as happiness and fear, and in storing emotional memories. The hippocampus is important for memory and learning and for interpreting spatial relationships.

Paul Schrader: As we get older - particularly as the whole process of movies and film storytelling gets older - people have different notions of what's necessary dramatically. They start to see a lot of the melodramatic machinery of the past as outdated. Reality television isn't popular for no reason. It's popular because we're tiring of artificial drama, and reality TV seems less artificial.
George Kouvaros: But it also conforms to quite traditional narrative and character arcs. The process of transformation that drives your work seems to be something quite different. I don't know if you could call it melodramatic, but it does seem to be an attempt to represent change - a change in someone's sense of who they are.
Paul Schrader: Like everyone else, I'm becoming less and less interested in the heavy machinery of movies that strike me as being a remnant of the nineteenth century. But that's a whole other subject, one I've been thinking about a lot and trying to write about.
George Kouvaros: This is something that you've spoken about before: the idea that cinema is at a point of change where the kinds of characters that interest you, the existential characters, no longer have a place.
Paul Schrader: Well, I think the point of change is even greater than I thought before. I've been doing a fair amount of research because I agreed to write this book for Faber on the film canon, and I found myself thrown into all this work about the history of the notion of the canon and why it went out of fashion. Film itself, in fact, is one of the things that destroyed the notion of the canon. When people talk about a film canon, it's kind of a contradictory phrase. So, how can you have a film canon? I've been thinking about an argument put forward by Dudley Andrew concerning the transitional nature of cinema. It comes from a seed idea by Walter Benjamin. Andrew's contention is that motion pictures are a way-station in the cavalcade of art history, a stopover en route from nineteenth century written narrative to the twenty-first century world of synthetic images and sound. While this is perhaps a little extreme, it's also very much to the point.

If you're looking for car ownership with complete peace of mind, then
we'll provide you with an extended warranty for your new, approved used
or used Toyota. This is one of the most comprehensive warranties
available anywhere and covers everything you'll need from car hire to
hotel expenses, from MOT cover to body repairs.
What's covered?
What's not covered?
What's Toyota's commitment?
A Toyota Extended Warranty is substantially similar to the warranty you
get with a brand new car, but it applies to the car you own already,
whether you were the first owner or you bought it used. The Toyota
Extended Warranty can be renewed until the vehicle is 12 years old or
100,000 miles (at the point of sale of the extended warranty) , and if a
part covered by the Toyota Extended Warranty suffers electrical or
mechanical failure at any time during the term, Toyota is committed to
fixing it. You don't pay for replacement parts or labour.
Is there a choice of warranties?
You have the choice of either the unlimited mileage cover or the low
user option that restricts to 15,000 miles per year. You also have a
choice between 12 or 24 months cover (subject to vehicle eligibility).
The 24 month option will show a saving over two 12 month Toyota Extended
Warranty policies and is available with the low user option of 30,000
miles over 24 months.
Is there a mileage restriction?
Unlike many warranty schemes, our unlimited mileage cover places no
restrictions on your annual mileage unless you opt for our low mileage
options. No matter how far you drive, Johnsons Authorised Toyota Service will be happy to assist.
