When I received the Handy Panda Bungee Cord, I looked forward to trying them because it's almost summer season and every summer, we go pier fishing. We bring lots of stuffs, including our fishing poles, cooler, bags, snacks and a lot more! So, securing them in our car and while bringing them to and from the pier is a bit of a hassle.
Here is a quick product description from the company:
- - Cords and hooks do not break easily (60kN)
- No chemical smell or odor that you could have experienced before
- Perfect for holding your valuables in place
- Hooks are designed to fit into most tarp holes
- Durable hooks have useful notches to hold your bungee in place better
-- We use high quality nylon for our cords
-- Tough plastic coating for hooks that will not break after couple applications
-- Eco-friendly materials with no bad scent
-- Use our cords to secure objects without tying knots and to absorb shock
-- Hold anything on your bike rack, in your garage or secure your luggage
-- Don't forget our handy plastic case that you can use for your needs
- 6 pcs. - 10" length/4 mm diameter bungee cord (black)
- 6 pcs. - 18" length/8 mm diameter Bungee cord (blue)
- 4 pcs. - 24" length/8 mm diameter Bungee Cord (red)
- 2 pcs. - 32" length/8 mm diameter Bungee Cord (green)
- 2 pcs. - 40" length/8 mm diameter Bungee Cord (yellow)
- 4 pcs. - 6" length/4 mm diameter Canopy ties (black)
Each bungee cord has a hook on both ends, excluding the canopy ties, and the hooks are tough, thick and looks durable. The bungee cords are also a bit stretchy which is great because we can secure our bags and things securely because it would fit tightly over the things. The bungee cords are a bit heavy but I like how thick the cords are because they look durable as well. I wouldn't have to worry about cords snapping in two since these are thick.
There is an extra gift, the carabiner/measuring tape, which can be used to measure the bungee cord length needed to secure the bags/things. The pamphlet which came with it explains other ways to use these bungee cords which is also nice.
This is a very nice set and I like that it came in a hard plastic case so that I can store them easily when not in use.

Turning to company, I did not expect that from the creation of the site business can change so much. Workers have shown a high level of professionalism and a deep understanding of our desires. Now we continue to work on the development of the project in the network. Many thanks to the business company "FAA". With the company we co-worked very well together, because both sides had an understanding of the action plan.
- Robert Martins
Roughly a year ago I decided to found a restaurant in Moscow. You know, there is a big competition in this sphere. FAA business-creation program became my salvation. I had got many valuable lessons there and tried to embody them. As a result, my restaurant is one of the most popular and successful in Russia.
- Nina Green, Manager
After graduating from the university, I faced with the problem. There were no company where I had not heard a refusal. My friend advised me FAA. I have chosen a probation program. That was 3 years ago, and nowadays I am a happy top-manager of one of the best world companies. In short, I have found our experience with Aciron to be very positive. I am impressed with the work FAA has done, as well as their professionalism, courtesy, and caring customer service.
- Lisa Whistler, Consultant
I found everyone who worked for FAA to be attentive and thoughtful, providing not only a sounding board for our ideas but also helpful guidance from previous project experience. While developing a web-based project management system, FAA created something that was tailored to our specific needs with an easy to use interface. Several changes/upgrades were made to improve the overall performance and to mimic the output deliverable that our client required.

I was sitting and typing up another blog post earlier today, and I was interrupted rudely by a fellow student who decided it was completely up to me to fix her (or his) specific problem in their code. Being the pushover that I am, I lent a hand, only to find that this person was way over her (or his) head.
I don't want to call names, or cite specific examples, so I'll talk in really broad terms about why some people may need to rethink their career path when they make it to college, and find the work to be way over their heads.
I've talked before about how the higher education system is becoming a joke, and how the value of a Computer Science degree is ever decreasing. In fact, the other post that I was writing was about a similar subject. My opinions are certainly just that–opinions. Please take them as such, and don't think that I am bashing any specific person or group of people with this post.
The fact is that some people aren't cut out to be programmers.

The Supreme Court on Monday issued notices to the Centre and seven telecom firms on a plea for cancellation of 2G spectrum beyond 2x4.5 MHz for metros and 2x4.4 MHz for other circles, allocated to the firms without additional fees.
A bench of Justices G.S. Singhvi and S.J. Mukhopadhyay granted four weeks time to file replies on the petition, which pleaded that its separate plea to cancel additional spectrum allocated to these firms, pending with the Delhi High Court since 2008, be shifted to the Supreme Court.
The telecom companies which have been issued notices are Bharti Airtel, Vodafone, Reliance Telecom, Idea Cellular, Loop Mobile (India), Spice Communications and Aircel Cellular.
The petitioner, Telecom Watchdog, a non-governmental organisation, pleaded that its case be heard by the Supreme Court as a similar matter is pending here.
In a similar matter, the Supreme Court on January 30, 2012 had sought the replies of the Centre and telecom firms on a plea challenging the allocation of 2G spectrum beyond the entry level of 4.4 MHz and 6.2 MHz without charging additional fees from them.
It had also issued a notice to the Ministry of Finance, the Department of Telecom, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India and various telecom firms including Airtel, Vodafone, Idea, Loop and Tata on a plea for reclaiming all the spectrum quantity allocated beyond the contracted quantum of 6.2 MHz from the telecom firms.

Okay!! So today I feel like talking about some of my most favourite teen movies. I can never get enough of watching these again and again and again (seriously). Here is a list of my top five favourite teen movies.
1) Mean Girls (2004)
Lindsay Lohan is one of my favourite actresses, she is extremely adorable and charismatic, and I love her so much. Mean Girls is actually a smart and funny movie which portrays the social politics that revolve around teenage life. The main theme of the movie shows us that you will be more contented/happier as yourself than as anybody else. All the cast did a great job especially Rachel McAdams, she is a special kind of amazing. I really like this movie and I still want to watch it again and again.
2) High School Musical (2006, 2007, 2008)
High School Musical was a very good movie by Disney channel. If you like to watch musical movies, you will surely love this one. This movie will take you all the way back to high school. With some dance moves, the movie also added outstanding songs, humour, love, and friendship. I was really impressed by the main lead singing skills. I loved the song "Start of something new" by Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens. I truly loved those movies in which actors actually sing movie songs by themselves. In fact, all the songs were great, and the actors rocked the stage. You can enjoy this movie with your family and friends. All three parts of High School Musical are definitely worth watching.
3) Princess Diaries (2001, 2004)
This movie will definitely win your hearts as it conveys the messages about the importance of friendship, being true to yourself and also caring about others. It's a story of a young girl who finds out that she is a princess in a European kingdom. The main role is played by the very gorgeous Anne Hathaway, who never failed to impress her fans. One of the most interesting quotes of the movie that I liked so much is, "No one can make you inferior without your consent". The first part of the movie followed by the second part names as Princess Diaries 2: The Royal Engagement. I highly recommend this movie, it's clean, and it's funny and really appealing.
4) She's The Man (2006)
I have watched many gender bender movies/serials from different regions but I didn't enjoy those like I enjoyed this one. Amanda Bynes and Channing Tatum both were so endearing. Tomboyish viola plays the role of a girl who pretends to be a guy in order to play football. This movie conveys a very strong message of allowing a person to follow his or her interests without being forced to live up like others.
5) Sydney White (2007)
This one again having Amanda Bynes as a lead actress, she's lovely, funny, cut and literally down to earth. I really love her and her acting skills are great as well. Sydney White is a college comedy that tells the tale of a freshman student Sydney who ditches her devious sorority sisters and finds a new home with a very dorky group of students, who have been treated badly. Sydney White then off to war against the governing campus royalty. This movie also conveys the spirit of friendship, bonding, loyalty and hard work of college life students.
So these were my favorite teen movies. Tell me some of your favorite teen movies, I would love to hear from you. Have a nice day!

Hot summer days are slowly coming to an end and we're getting ready to welcome what we can only hope will be an Indian Summer. In preparation for autumn, our German Master and Fitness Trainer Mareike, who also stars in Germany's The Biggest Loser, has kindly shared her top two seasonal ingredients with us, telling us why they are good for you and how they can be used in two deliciously healthy recipes.
Our favourite pre-yoga treat, blueberries are rich in Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Vitamin A, B1 and B2. They contain large amounts of phytochemicals, which act as antioxidants, boosting the immune system for all-around good health. In comparison to other fruit, blueberries have a lower fructose content, making them a perfect low-carb snack. So, start tossing them into your yogurt, blending them into a post-workout smoothie or simply eating them as they are!
If you're a sweet tooth, you're going to love Mareike's mouth-watering raw blueberry cake recipe. This healthy cake is vegan, gluten-free, sugar-free, preservative-free and guilt-free – easy to make and enjoy after an intense gym sesh. You don't even need an oven, just a good blender. That's how we like it!
Raw Blueberry Cake
Instructions: Simply mix the following ingredients in a cake tin:
- 250g of Almonds
- 100g of Brazil nuts
- 200g of Dates
- 250g of Cashews
- 1 Tsp of Vanilla Extract
- 3-4 Tbsp of Lemon Juice
- 2 Bananas
- 400g of Blueberries (Frozen)
- 125g of Coconut Oil
- 50ml of Water
- 30g of Coconut Flower Nectar
*You can vary the nuts as well as the fruits to suit your taste.
Store the cake in the refrigerator for a maximum of 2-3 days.
Another excuse to invite the girls over for tea (or make it cocktails)!
Note: Our co-founder, Kate Hudson, is a big fan of cooking and baking. It plays an important role in her training. You can find out more about her diet tricks here.
Tip: The colder weather may decrease your thirst level. It's important that you stay well hydrated throughout the day. Carry a water bottle in your bag at all times to sip as you skip around town.
Autumn is mushroom-picking season. These little treats are low in calories and add flavour to almost all lunch/dinner recipes, whether you cook them in the pan, toss them into a salad or eat them raw.
Mushrooms are very robust, so you have to follow one very important rule when preparing them: They need to be brushed off and cleaned very carefully. You should wipe them with a damp cloth, instead of soaking them in water, as they will absorb it and lose their flavour. Always sprinkle them with salt and pepper before cooking them; otherwise, they can become quite hard, as they will lose a bit of water when being sautéed in a pan.
Here is one of Mareike's favourite mushroom-inspired recipes:
Quinoa Noodles and Mushrooms
- 250g of Quinoa noodles (If these are hard for you to find, you can also replace them with other gluten-free varieties, such as rice noodles)
- A big handful of mushrooms
- 2 Onions
- 1 Garlic Clove
- 1 Tbsp of Olive Oil
- Salt, Pepper and Paprika
- 1 Tbsp of Vegetable Broth
- Coconut Milk
- 1 Courgette
- 2 Tbsp of Miso Paste
- 1 Tbsp of Mustard
- Cherry Tomatoes
- Boil the Quinoa noodles according to the instructions listed on the packaging.
- Sauté the onions and garlic in a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Cut the mushrooms into small pieces, adding them to the semi-transparent onions and garlic.
- Add the vegetable broth, a good shot of coconut milk and the courgette (cut into slices) in the pan and cook with the mushroom mix.
- Add salt, pepper and paprika, if needed.
- Add the Miso paste and mustard.
- Top it off with a few cherry tomatoes.
You can find more clean eating recipes here. Bon appétit!
We'd love to see what you're cooking, this autumn. Send us your foodie snaps via Instagram and Facebook!

Video Interviews are on the rise as employers seek to save time and reduce costs. They have become almost standard practice in recruitment where large numbers of candidates are involved, such as graduate programmes.
There are two main kinds of video interview. The first is 'one-way' where you are sent a link and are video recorded answering a series of pre-recorded questions. The other is 'two-way': you video link up with 'real' interviewers who ask you questions and respond to your answers just like the usual face-to-face interview.
Either way, there is more preparation required for a video interview than you might think. The impersonal and unfamiliar medium can put you at a disadvantage if you don't prepare properly.
1. Get the technical basics right
Equipment: It is best to do your interview from a static computer rather than a hand-held device. If you are using your laptop make sure it's plugged in or that your battery is fully charged.
Connections: Is your internet reliable? If you have any doubts, go somewhere that you know has a good connection to be safe.
Software: Download and test the software link before the interview. You need to feel comfortable with it, so you're not distracted during the interview.
Lighting: Front-side lighting is usually best. Try to position your computer and webcam near a window if it's daytime. Natural light sources are more flattering. Rehearse how light from artificial sources work. You don't want background light as this puts your face in shadow but nor do you want too much direct light as you can look over-lit. Test a good combination well in advance.
Position: You need to position yourself so that you can sit comfortably with a good image of you captured by the camera.
2. Presentation
The background: Make sure you have a clean, uncluttered background without any distracting elements. It goes without saying that this should exclude other people, pets and unmade beds! A plain wall is best.
Your clothes: Dress like you would for an interview. Putting on your Interview armour lifts your mindset. It also shows the interviewer that you are taking the interview seriously.
Avoid distractions: Just like in a face-to-face interview, make sure you turn off your phone and work in a quiet room. Let flatmates or family member know the times of your interview and ask for privacy and peace.
3. You & your responses
When you are in a video interview it is much harder to create rapport with your interviewer. But there are some things you can do to try to overcome that.
Sit still: A hand gesture or two is fine but don't jiggle around in your seat. You want to appear serious, consistent and not visually distracting. Concentrate on keeping your head fairly still, at least.
Make eye contact: Eye contact is essential in a 'real' interview and it also helps in a video interview. But don't look at the interviewer's face on the screen! Unnatural as it may seem, remember to address your answers to the webcam. By doing this it appears to the viewer that you are looking at them. If you address your answers to the face on the screen it will appear to the viewer that you are looking down while you speak. It can help if you position your computer so that the camera is above eye level.
Be involved and engaged: In a video interview it is harder to read body language clues for both parties. One common failing of video interviewees is to speak in a depersonalised monotone. So practise your answers whilst smiling and sounding interested.
Pause and slow down: There may be transmission delays so make sure you speak slowly and avoid interrupting. Wait until you hear a question, pause and then answer as necessary.
4. Use a cheat sheet
You wouldn't do this in a face to face interview but in this case no one will see a cheat sheet. Just jot down the few key points that you want to get over so that you remember to engineer them into relevant answers. Don't spend too much time looking at it though - it will be noticeable. Your glances will be less obvious if you place your notes on the wall behind the camera.
5. Practice makes perfect
You may feel that you know what and how you are going to present but nothing helps more than preparation. Try recording yourself giving 'standard' answers and ask a friend if they will do a dummy interview with you via Skype. This will help you iron out any bugs in your technical and physical preparation.
There's no doubt that video interviewing presents a specific set of challenges for candidates. However, as with any interview, you can prepare and plan ahead. The more you do this you better you will stand out against your competition.
As always, if you have any questions or comments we will be pleased to hear from you.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Holly Ostrander hit a bases-loaded single in the bottom of the seventh inning to help the Huntingdon softball team complete a 4-1 and 4-3 sweep of Salem College on Saturday.
Ostrander finished the day with two hits, two RBIs and two runs for Huntingdon (2-6, 2-0 Great South Athletic Conference). Brittany Richardson had four hits, a RBI and two runs and Ashlee Zachmeyer and Kerri Reed each had two RBIs.
Melissa McClure picked up the win in Game 1, striking out nine, scattering three hits and allowing one run in seven innings. Brooke Meadows started Game 2, struck out eight, walked four and allowed six hits and three runs in six innings. Ashley Hawkins picked up the win in relief in the seventh inning.
Huntingdon scored all four runs in the first three innings of Game 1. Reed drove in a run in the first inning and the third inning and Zachmeyer doubled in two runs in the third inning.
In the second game, Richardson scored on an Ostrander sacrifice bunt in the first inning and a Kaetlen Brown single in the third inning. A Richardson single scored McClure in the fourth inning to give Huntingdon a 3-2 lead. Salem (3-7, 0-2 GSAC) tied the game 3-3 in the sixth inning, before Huntingdon answered in the seventh.
Huntingdon returns to action at Agnes Scott on Wednesday.

Use the Switch Skate Guide to find the perfect place for that kick-flip – and sharing tricks with fellow skate fans.
While cities are great playgrounds for skateboarders, it's all about finding the best places to flex your skills. The Switch Skate Guide lets you tap into a global community to share your favorite skate spots, meet fellow skaters, and upload photos and videos of you pulling off your most impressive stunts.
As the Switch Skate Guide is all about online community, you start by creating a profile and following others to see what they're up to. Just like other social networks, the app allows you to like and comment on posted photos and videos.
Yet the app's most useful feature is its map of great skate spots: It's like a travel guide just for skating. Here, you can rank recommended spots and leave notes to share your own experiences.

(also known as a
) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the
that creates
seismic waves
. Earthquakes are recorded with a
, also known as a seismograph. The
moment magnitude
(or the related and mostly obsolete
magnitude) of an earthquake is conventionally reported, with magnitude 3 or lower earthquakes being mostly
and magnitude 7 causing serious damage over large areas. Intensity of shaking is measured on the modified
Mercalli scale
At the Earth's surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by shaking and sometimes displacing the ground. When a large earthquake
is located offshore, the seabed sometimes suffers sufficient displacement to cause a
. The shaking in earthquakes can also trigger landslides and occasionally volcanic activity.
In its most generic sense, the word
is used to describe any seismic event — whether a natural
or an event caused by humans — that generates seismic waves. Earthquakes are caused mostly by rupture of geological
, but also by volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear experiments. An earthquake's point of initial rupture is called its
. The term
refers to the point at ground level directly above the hypocenter.
Global plate tectonic movement
Naturally occurring earthquakes
Fault types
Tectonic earthquakes will occur anywhere within the earth where there is sufficient stored elastic strain energy to drive fracture propagation along a
fault plane
. In the case of
type plate boundaries, which form the largest fault surfaces on earth, they will move past each other smoothly and
only if there are no irregularities or
along the boundary that increase the frictional resistance. Most boundaries do have such asperities and this leads to a form of
stick-slip behaviour
. Once the boundary has locked, continued relative motion between the plates leads to increasing stress and therefore, stored strain energy in the volume around the fault surface. This continues until the stress has risen sufficiently to break through the asperity, suddenly allowing sliding over the locked portion of the fault, releasing the
stored energy
. This energy is released as a combination of radiated elastic
seismic waves
, frictional heating of the fault surface, and cracking of the rock, thus causing an earthquake. This process of gradual build-up of strain and stress punctuated by occasional sudden earthquake failure is referred to as the
Elastic-rebound theory
. It is estimated that only 10 percent or less of an earthquake's total energy is radiated as seismic energy. Most of the earthquake's energy is used to power the earthquake
growth or is converted into heat generated by friction. Therefore, earthquakes lower the Earth's available
elastic potential energy
and raise its temperature, though these changes are negligible compared to the conductive and convective flow of heat out from the Earth's deep interior.
Earthquake fault types
There are three main types of fault that may cause an earthquake: normal, reverse (thrust) and strike-slip. Normal and reverse faulting are examples of dip-slip, where the displacement along the fault is in the direction of
and movement on them involves a vertical component. Normal faults occur mainly in areas where the crust is being
such as a
divergent boundary
. Reverse faults occur in areas where the crust is being
such as at a convergent boundary. Strike-slip faults are steep structures where the two sides of the fault slip horizontally past each other ; transform boundaries are a particular type of strike-slip fault. Many earthquakes are caused by movement on faults that have components of both dip-slip and strike-slip; this is known as oblique slip.
Earthquakes away from plate boundaries
Where plate boundaries occur within
continental lithosphere
, deformation is spread out a over a much larger area than the plate boundary itself.
In the case of the
San Andreas fault
continental transform, many earthquakes occur away from the plate boundary and are related to strains developed within the broader zone of deformation caused by major irregularities in the fault trace (e.g. the "Big bend" region).
Northridge earthquake
was associated with movement on a blind thrust within such a zone.
Another example is the strongly oblique convergent plate boundary between the
Eurasian plates
where it runs through the northwestern part of the
The deformation associated with this plate boundary is partitioned into nearly pure thrust sense movements perpendicular to the boundary over a wide zone to the southwest and nearly pure strike-slip motion along the Main Recent Fault close to the actual plate boundary itself. This is demonstrated by earthquake
focal mechanisms
All tectonic plates have internal stress fields caused by their interactions with neighbouring plates and sedimentary loading or unloading (e.g. deglaciation). These stresses may be sufficient to cause failure along existing fault planes, giving rise to
intraplate earthquakes
Shallow-focus and deep-focus earthquakes
The majority of tectonic earthquakes originate at the ring of fire in depths not exceeding tens of kilometers. Earthquakes occurring at a depth of less than 70 km are classified as 'shallow-focus' earthquakes, while those with a focal-depth between 70 and 300 km are commonly termed 'mid-focus' or 'intermediate-depth' earthquakes. In
subduction zones
, where older and colder
oceanic crust
descends beneath another tectonic plate,
deep-focus earthquake
may occur at much greater depths (ranging from 300 up to 700 kilometers). These seismically active areas of subduction are known as
Wadati-Benioff zones
. Deep-focus earthquakes occur at a depth at which the subducted
should no longer be brittle, due to the high temperature and pressure. A possible mechanism for the generation of deep-focus earthquakes is faulting caused by
undergoing a
phase transition
into a
Earthquakes and volcanic activity
Earthquakes often occur in volcanic regions and are caused there, both by
faults and the movement of
Such earthquakes can serve as an early warning of volcanic eruptions, like during the
Mount St. Helens
eruption of 1980
Earthquake swarms serve as markers for the location of the flowing magma throughout the volcanoes. In the United States, these are then recorded by seismometers and tiltimeters (a device which measures the ground slope) and used as sensors to predict imminent or upcoming eruptions.
Earthquake clusters
Most earthquakes form part of a sequence, related to each other in terms of location and time. Most earthquake clusters consist of small tremors which cause little to no damage, but there is a theory that earthquakes can recur in a regular pattern.
An aftershock is an earthquake that occurs after a previous earthquake, the mainshock. An aftershock is in the same region of the main shock but always of a smaller magnitude. If an aftershock is larger than the main shock, the aftershock is redesignated as the main shock and the original main shock is redesignated as a
. Aftershocks are formed as the crust around the displaced
fault plane
adjusts to the effects of the main shock.
Earthquake swarms
February 2008 earthquake swarm near Mexicali
Earthquake swarms are sequences of earthquakes striking in a specific area within a short period of time. They are different from earthquakes followed by a series of
by the fact that no single earthquake in the sequence is obviously the main shock, therefore none have notable higher magnitudes than the other.
An example of an earthquake swarm is the 2004 activity at
Yellowstone National Park
Earthquake storms
Sometimes a series of earthquakes occur in a sort of
earthquake storm
, where the earthquakes strike a fault in clusters, each triggered by the shaking or stress redistribution of the previous earthquakes. Similar to
but on adjacent segments of fault, these storms occur over the course of years, and with some of the later earthquakes as damaging as the early ones. Such a pattern was observed in the sequence of about a dozen earthquakes that struck the
North Anatolian Fault
in Turkey in the 20th century and has been inferred for older anomalous clusters of large earthquakes in the Middle East.
Size and frequency of occurrence
Minor earthquakes occur nearly constantly around the world in places like
in the U.S., as well as in
, the
New Zealand
, and
, but earthquakes can occur almost anywhere, including
New York City
, and Australia.
Larger earthquakes occur less frequently, the relationship being
; for example, roughly ten times as many earthquakes larger than magnitude 4 occur in a particular time period than earthquakes larger than magnitude 5. In the (low seismicity) United Kingdom, for example, it has been calculated that the average recurrences are:an earthquake of 3.7 - 4.6 every year, an earthquake of 4.7 - 5.5 every 10 years, and an earthquake of 5.6 or larger every 100 years. This is an example of the
Gutenberg-Richter law
The number of seismic stations has increased from about 350 in 1931 to many thousands today. As a result, many more earthquakes are reported than in the past, but this is because of the vast improvement in instrumentation, rather than an increase in the number of earthquakes. The
estimates that, since 1900, there have been an average of 18 major earthquakes (magnitude 7.0-7.9) and one great earthquake (magnitude 8.0 or greater) per year, and that this average has been relatively stable. In recent years, the number of major earthquakes per year has decreased, although this is thought likely to be a
statistical fluctuation
rather than a systematic trend. More detailed statistics on the size and frequency of earthquakes is available from the USGS.
Most of the world's earthquakes (90%, and 81% of the largest) take place in the 40,000-km-long, horseshoe-shaped zone called the
circum-Pacific seismic belt
, also known as the
Pacific Ring of Fire
, which for the most part bounds the
Pacific Plate
Massive earthquakes tend to occur along other plate boundaries, too, such as along the
Himalayan Mountains
With the rapid growth of
such as
Mexico City
, in areas of high
seismic risk
, some seismologists are warning that a single quake may claim the lives of up to 3 million people.
Induced seismicity
While most earthquakes are caused by movement of the Earth's
tectonic plates
, human activity can also produce earthquakes. Four main activities contribute to this phenomenon: constructing large
, drilling and injecting liquid into
, and by
coal mining
oil drilling
Perhaps the best known example is the
2008 Sichuan earthquake
in China's
Sichuan Province
in May; this tremor resulted in 69,227 fatalities and is the
19th deadliest earthquake of all time
Zipingpu Dam
is believed to have fluctuated the pressure of the fault away; this pressure probably increased the power of the earthquake and accelerated the rate of movement for the fault. The greatest earthquake in Australia's history was also induced by humanity, through coal mining.
The city of Newcastle
was built over a large sector of coal mining areas.
The earthquake was spawned from a fault which reactivated due to the millions of tonnes of rock removed in the mining process.
Measuring and locating earthquakes
Earthquakes can be recorded by seismometers up to great distances, because
seismic waves
travel through the whole
Earth's interior
. The absolute magnitude of a quake is conventionally reported by numbers on the
Moment magnitude scale
(formerly Richter scale, magnitude 7 causing serious damage over large areas), whereas the felt magnitude is reported using the modified Mercalli scale (intensity II-XII).
Every tremor produces different types of seismic waves which travel through rock with different velocities: the longitudinal
(shock- or pressure waves), the transverse
(both body waves) and several
surface waves
waves). The
propagation velocity
of the seismic waves ranges from approx. 3 km/s up to 13 km/s, depending on the
of the medium. In the Earths interior the shock- or P waves travel much more faster than the S waves (approx. relation 1.7 : 1). The differences in
travel time
from the
to the observatory are a measure of the distance and can be used to image both sources of quakes and structures within the Earth. Also the depth of the
can be computed roughly.
In solid rock P-waves travel at about 6 to 7 km per second; the velocity increases within the deep mantle to ~13 km/s. The velocity of S-waves ranges from 2–3 km/s in light sediments and 4–5 km/s in the Earths crust up to 7 km/s in the deep mantle. As a consequence, the first waves of a distant earth quake arrive at an observatory via the Earths mantle.
Rule of thumb
: On the average, the kilometer distance to the earthquake is the number of seconds between the P and S wave
times 8
. Slight deviations are caused by inhomogenities of subsurface structure. By such analyses of seismograms the Earth's core was located in 1913 by
Beno Gutenberg
Effects/impacts of earthquakes
The effects of earthquakes include, but are not limited to, the following:
Shaking and ground rupture
Shaking and ground rupture are the main effects created by earthquakes, principally resulting in more or less severe damage to buildings and other rigid structures. The severity of the local effects depends on the complex combination of the earthquake
, the distance from the
, and the local geological and geomorphological conditions, which may amplify or reduce
wave propagation
. The ground-shaking is measured by ground
Specific local geological, geomorphological, and geostructural features can induce high levels of shaking on the ground surface even from low-intensity earthquakes. This effect is called site or local amplification. It is principally due to the transfer of the
motion from hard deep soils to soft superficial soils and to effects of seismic energy focalization owing to typical geometrical setting of the deposits.
Ground rupture is a visible breaking and displacement of the Earth's surface along the trace of the fault, which may be of the order of several metres in the case of major earthquakes. Ground rupture is a major risk for large engineering structures such as
, bridges and
nuclear power stations
and requires careful mapping of existing faults to identify any likely to break the ground surface within the life of the structure.
Landslides and avalanches
Earthquakes, along with severe storms, volcanic activity, coastal wave attack, and wildfires, can produce slope instability leading to landslides, a major geological hazard. Landslide danger may persist while emergency personnel are attempting rescue.
Earthquakes can cause
by damaging
electrical power
or gas lines. In the event of water mains rupturing and a loss of pressure, it may also become difficult to stop the spread of a fire once it has started. For example, more deaths in the
1906 San Francisco earthquake
were caused by fire than by the earthquake itself.
Soil liquefaction
Soil liquefaction occurs when, because of the shaking, water-saturated
material (such as sand) temporarily loses its strength and transforms from a
to a
. Soil liquefaction may cause rigid structures, like buildings and bridges, to tilt or sink into the liquefied deposits. This can be a devastating effect of earthquakes. For example, in the
1964 Alaska earthquake
, soil liquefaction caused many buildings to sink into the ground, eventually collapsing upon themselves.
Tsunamis are long-wavelength, long-period sea waves produced by the sudden or abrupt movement of large volumes of water. In the open ocean the distance between wave crests can surpass 100 kilometers, and the wave periods can vary from five minutes to one hour. Such tsunamis travel 600-800 kilometers per hour, depending on water depth. Large waves produced by an earthquake or a submarine landslide can overrun nearby coastal areas in a matter of minutes. Tsunamis can also travel thousands of kilometers across open ocean and wreak destruction on far shores hours after the earthquake that generated them.
Ordinarily, subduction earthquakes under magnitude 7.5 on the Richter scale do not cause tsunamis, although some instances of this have been recorded. Most destructive tsunamis are caused by earthquakes of magnitude 7.5 or more.
A flood is an overflow of any amount of water that reaches land. Floods occur usually when the volume of water within a body of water, such as a river or lake, exceeds the total capacity of the formation, and as a result some of the water flows or sits outside of the normal perimeter of the body. However, floods may be secondary effects of earthquakes, if dams are damaged. Earthquakes may cause landslips to dam rivers, which then collapse and cause floods.
The terrain below the
Sarez Lake
is in danger of catastrophic flood if the
landslide dam
formed by the earthquake, known as the
Usoi Dam
, were to fail during a future earthquake.
Impact projections suggest the flood could affect roughly 5 million people.
Human impacts
Earthquakes may lead to
, lack of basic necessities, loss of life, higher insurance premiums, general
property damage
, road and bridge damage, and collapse or destabilization (potentially leading to future collapse) of buildings. Earthquakes can also precede volcanic eruptions, which cause further problems; for example, substantial crop damage, as in the "
Year Without a Summer
" (1816).
In order to determine the likelihood of future seismic activity,
and other scientists examine the rock of an area to determine if the rock appears to be "strained". Studying the
of an area to study the buildup time it takes for the fault to build up stress sufficient for an earthquake also serves as an effective predicition technique. Measurements of the amount of pressure which collocates on the fault line each year, time passed since the last major temblor, and the energy and power of the last earthquake are made. Together the facts allow scientists to determine how much pressure it takes for the fault to generate an earthquake.
Though this method is useful, it has only been implemented on California's
San Andreas Fault
Today, there are ways to protect and prepare possible sites of earthquakes from severe damage, through the following processes:
earthquake engineering
earthquake preparedness
household seismic safety
seismic retrofit
(including special fasteners, materials, and techniques),
seismic hazard
mitigation of seismic motion
, and
earthquake prediction
An image from a 1557 book
Pre-Middle Ages
From the lifetime of Greek
to the 14th century, earthquakes were attributed to "air (vapors) in the cavities of the Earth". Tales of Milet, who lived from 625-547 (BCE) was the only documented person who believed that earthquakes were caused by tension between the earth and water. Other theories existed, including Greek philosopher Anaxamines of Milet's (585-526 BCE) beliefs that short incline episodes of dryness and wetness caused seismic activity. Greek philosopher Democritus (460-371BCE) blamed water in general for earthquakes.
Pliny the Elder
called earthquakes "underground thunderstorms".
Earthquakes in culture
Mythology and religion
Norse mythology
, earthquakes were explained as the violent struggling of the god
. When Loki,
of mischief and strife, murdered
, god of beauty and light, he was punished by being bound in a cave with a poisonous serpent placed above his head dripping venom. Loki's wife
stood by him with a bowl to catch the poison, but whenever she had to empty the bowl the poison would drip on Loki's face, forcing him to jerk his head away and thrash against his bonds, causing the earth to tremble.
Greek mythology
was the cause and god of earthquakes. When he was in a bad mood, he would strike the ground with a
, causing this and other calamities. He also used earthquakes to punish and inflict fear upon people as revenge.
Japanese mythology
(鯰) is a giant
who causes earthquakes. Namazu lives in the mud beneath the earth, and is guarded by the god
who restrains the fish with a stone. When Kashima lets his guard fall, Namazu thrashes about, causing violent
Popular culture
In modern
popular culture
, the portrayal of earthquakes is shaped by the memory of great cities laid waste, such as
Kobe in 1995
San Francisco in 1906
Fictional earthquakes tend to strike suddenly and without warning. For this reason, stories about earthquakes generally begin with the disaster and focus on its immediate aftermath, as in
Short Walk to Daylight
The Ragged Edge
(1968) or
Aftershock: Earthquake in New York
(1998). A notable example is Heinrich von Kleist's classic novella,
The Earthquake in Chile
, which describes the destruction of Santiago in 1647.
Haruki Murakami
's short fiction collection,
After the Quake
, depicts the consequences of the Kobe earthquake of 1995.
The most popular single earthquake in fiction is the hypothetical "Big One" expected of
San Andreas Fault
someday, as depicted in the novels
Richter 10
(1996) and
Goodbye California
(1977) among other works.
Jacob M. Appel's widely-anthologized short story,
A Comparative Seismology
, features a con artist who convinces an elderly woman that an apocalyptic earthquake is imminent. In
Pleasure Boating in Lituya Bay
, one of the stories in
Jim Shepard
Like You'd Understand, Anyway
, the "Big One" leads to an even more devastating tsunami.

Atlantic salmon catches hint at widening circle of escaped fish in B.C. waters
Surrey sport angler Adam de Bosch Kemper's accidental catch of Atlantic salmon in a smelt fishing net last Saturday night off White Rock offers further evidence of how far thousands of escaped salmon from a Washington State fish farm have spread in Canadian waters.
De Bosch Kemper had just set his net and was waiting to see if it would fill with the small, sardine-like fish when he noticed two bigger fish thrashing in the net under the light of his headlamp. At first, he mistook them for spring salmon.
However, when a third, bigger fish became entangled, de Bosch Kemper had more time to notice the distinctive spotted markings of an Atlantic salmon before the fish shook itself free.
The spot he encountered the fish is about 50 kilometres north of the Cooke Aquaculture farm in the San Juan Islands that suffered damage in strong currents starting Aug. 12. It spilled up to 180,000 adult Atlantic salmon, which have since been tracked as far as 125 kilometres away.
Cooke has recovered and accounted for about 120,000 of the 300,000 fish that were at the fish farm.
"It's distressing, as I put a lot of value in our native fish," said de Bosch Kemper, particularly since salmon returns to B.C. rivers this year are extremely low.
To date, Atlantic salmon have shown up as far north as Sechelt and as far west as Port Renfrew on the west coast of Vancouver Island, said Andrew Thomson, regional director for fisheries management at the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.
Thompson said the department will continue to track catches reported to its Atlantic Salmon Watch program and he encourages anyone who does encounter the non-native fish to call in to its reporting line.
Thomson said his staff will pick rivers to monitor where the escaped fish are likely to try and spawn and will selectively remove the fish if they are found in significant numbers.
"We're informed by what's occurred in the past," Thomson said, including previous large escapes that happened in the 1990s.
Washington State farms suffered a handful of escapes of between 100,000 and 360,000 farmed salmon during that period, Thomson said. B.C.'s biggest was about 88,000.
In Washington on Saturday, Gov. Jay Inslee ordered a hold on any new permits for ocean net pens until a thorough investigation of the Cooke Aquaculture incident.
And in B.C., a First Nations group is past the sixth day of its peaceful occupation of a Marine Harvest salmon farm off the north coast of Vancouver Island to pressure for its removal from a spot where they contend the company does not have First Nations approval.
Ernest Alfred, a traditional leader from the 'Namgis, Tlowitsis and Mamalilikulla First Nations, said the farm is threatening their traditional way of life by impacting wild salmon and herring stocks, and he is also demanding an end to open-net fish farming in the sensitive Broughton Archipelago area.
B.C. Agriculture Minister Lana Popham said she plans to raise the issue with First Nations leaders at a gathering in Vancouver next week.
A committee is currently examining wild salmon and the aquaculture industry, and is expected to submit a report at the end of November, said Popham.

Naps are overrated. Let me tell you why.
So I woke up around 6:45 and the sun was up, so I rolled over, hoping I could get another hour of sleep at least. I heard what I thought was a clap of thunder, and the sky grew darker. Much darker. "That's one hell of a rainstorm that must be coming in," I thought. "I hope it clears up for the picnic tomorrow."
I decided to check the weather report and found myself irritated when the hourly detail was screwed up, giving me PM time when it was clearly AM time. And yet, the sky kept getting darker.
It took me a solid three hours to figure out that I had not slept clear through to the next day but had, in fact, crashed for an accidental three hour nap from which I've emerged having apparently lost all sense of time.
This is literally the third time this has happened to me, and it's not even the most egregious example. I take solace that I this time I was able to put things together without first having to get irate with the cashier at Dunkin Donuts.
Naps are so clearly the devil.

Assessment of image analysis methods and computer software used in Tc-99m-MAG3 dynamic renography is important to ensure reliable study results and ultimately the best possible care for patients. In this work, we present a national multicentre study of the quantification accuracy in Tc-99m-MAG3 renography, utilizing virtual dynamic scintigraphic data obtained by Monte Carlo-simulated scintillation camera imaging of digital phantoms with time-varying activity distributions. Three digital phantom studies were distributed to the participating departments, and quantitative evaluation was performed with standard clinical software according to local routines. The differential renal function (DRF) and time to maximum renal activity (T-max) were reported by 21 of the 28 Swedish departments performing Tc-99m-MAG3 studies as of 2012. The reported DRF estimates showed a significantly lower precision for the phantom with impaired renal uptake than for the phantom with normal uptake. The T-max estimates showed a similar trend, but the difference was only significant for the right kidney. There was a significant bias in the measured DRF for all phantoms caused by different positions of the left and right kidney in the anterior-posterior direction. In conclusion, this study shows that virtual scintigraphic studies are applicable for quality assurance and that there is a considerable uncertainty associated with standard quantitative parameters in dynamic Tc-99m-MAG3 renography, especially for patients with impaired renal function.
IntroductionThe aim of the study is to assess the administered activity levels versus visual-based image quality using visual grading regression (VGR) including an assessment of the newly stated image criteria for whole-body bone scintigraphy. Materials and methodsA total of 90 patients was included and grouped in three levels of administered activity: 400, 500 and 600 MBq. Six clinical image criteria regarding image quality was formulated by experienced nuclear medicine physicians. Visual grading was performed in all images, where three physicians rated the fulfilment of the image criteria on a four-step ordinal scale. The results were analysed using VGR. A count analysis was also made where the total number of counts in both views was registered. ResultsThe administered activity of 600 MBq gives significantly better image quality than 400 MBq in five of six criteria (Pless than005). Comparing the administered activity of 600 MBq to 500 MBq, four criteria of six show significantly better image quality (Pless than005). The administered activity of 500 MBq gives no significantly better image quality than 400 Mbq (Pless than005). The count analysis shows that none of the three levels of administrated activity fulfil the recommendations by the EANM. ConclusionThere was a significant improvement in perceived image quality using an activity level of 600 MBq compared to lower activity levels in whole-body bone scintigraphy for the gamma camera equipment end set-up used in this study. This type of visual-based grading study seems to be a valuable tool and easy to implement in the clinical environment.
The goal of this paper is to compare strategies for reducing partial volume effects by either minimizing the cause (i.e. improving resolution) or correcting the effect. Correction for resolution loss can be achieved either by modelling the resolution for use in iterative reconstruction or by imposing constraints based on knowledge of the underlying anatomy. Approaches to partial volume correction largely rely on knowledge of the underlying anatomy, based on well-registered high-resolution anatomical imaging modalities (CT or MRI). Corrections can be applied by considering the signal loss that results by smoothing the high-resolution modality to the same resolution as obtained in emission tomography. A physical phantom representing the central brain structures was used to evaluate the quantitative accuracy of the various strategies for either improving resolution or correcting for partial volume effects. Inclusion of resolution in the reconstruction model improved the measured contrast for the central brain structures but still underestimated the true object contrast (∼0.70). Use of information on the boundaries of the structures in conjunction with a smoothing prior using maximum entropy reconstruction achieved some degree of contrast enhancement and improved the noise properties of the resulting images. Partial volume correction based on segmentation of registered anatomical images and knowledge of the reconstructed resolution permitted more accurate quantification of the target to background ratio for individual brain structures. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.

Objectives. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is a non-invasive method for determining the iodine content of the thyroid gland in vivo. In spite of the obvious clinical value of such a method in situations of iodine deficiency or iodine overload, the method has not so far been widely used. The objective was to investigate the applicability of the XRF method in a larger number of subjects. Design and subjects. The study comprised 37 individuals, aged 60-65 years, who had spent their entire life with iodine supplementation through iodinated table salt. Individuals with (previous) thyroid disease were excluded. The individual thyroid function had previously been evaluated by measurements of thyroid-related hormones, thyroid volume and 131-Iodine (131I) uptake which indicated a sufficient iodine intake of the population in the area. Iodine in the right thyroid lobe in each subject was examined using XRF. Results. The mean thyroid iodine concentration was 0.4 mg mL-1, corresponding to a mean total iodine content of 5.2 mg (range 0.9-20.2). There was a pronounced difference between individuals. No correlation was found between iodine concentration and 131I uptake or thyroid volume. Neither was iodine content and 131I uptake correlated. Conclusions. In a population living under iodine-sufficient conditions, a large variation of iodine stored in the thyroid is compatible with euthyroidism. Determination of the iodine pool by XRF investigation is feasible in a clinical setting and the method offers a unique possibility to study the intrathyroidal iodine pool in subjects with thyroid disease. The low radiation dose enables the use of the method in pregnant women and also in young individuals. © 2006 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
BACKGROUND: The amount of inhomogeneities in a (99m)Tc Technegas single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) lung image, caused by reduced ventilation in lung regions affected by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is correlated to disease advancement. A quantitative analysis method, the CVT method, measuring these inhomogeneities was proposed in earlier work. To detect mild COPD, which is a difficult task, optimised parameter values are needed.
METHODS: In this work, the CVT method was optimised with respect to the parameter values of acquisition, reconstruction and analysis. The ordered subset expectation maximisation (OSEM) algorithm was used for reconstructing the lung SPECT images. As a first step towards clinical application of the CVT method in detecting mild COPD, this study was based on simulated SPECT images of an advanced anthropomorphic lung software phantom including respiratory and cardiac motion, where the mild COPD lung had an overall ventilation reduction of 5%.
RESULTS: The best separation between healthy and mild COPD lung images as determined using the CVT measure of ventilation inhomogeneity and 125 MBq (99m)Tc was obtained using a low-energy high-resolution collimator (LEHR) and a power 6 Butterworth post-filter with a cutoff frequency of 0.6 to 0.7 cm(-1). Sixty-four reconstruction updates and a small kernel size should be used when the whole lung is analysed, and for the reduced lung a greater number of updates and a larger kernel size are needed.
CONCLUSIONS: A LEHR collimator and 125 (99m)Tc MBq together with an optimal combination of cutoff frequency, number of updates and kernel size, gave the best result. Suboptimal selections of either cutoff frequency, number of updates and kernel size will reduce the imaging system's ability to detect mild COPD in the lung phantom.
The amount of inhomogeneities in a single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) lung image, caused by reduced ventilation in lung regions affected by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is correlated to disease advancement. A quantitative analysis method, the CVT-method, measuring these inhomogeneities was proposed in earlier work (Norberg et al., 2013). To detect mild COPD, which is a difficult task, optimized parameter values are needed. In this work, the CVT-method was optimized with respect to the parameter values of acquisition, reconstruction and analysis. The ordered subset expectation maximization (OSEM) algorithm was used for reconstructing the lung SPECT images. As a first step towards clinical application of the CVT-method in detecting mild COPD, this study was based on simulated SPECT images of an advanced anthropomorphic lung phantom including respiratory and cardiac motion, where the mild COPD lung had an overall ventilation reduction of 5%. The largest separation between healthy and mild COPD lung images as determined using the CVT-measure of ventilation inhomogeneity and 125 MBq 99mTc was obtained using a low-energy high-resolution collimator and a Butterworth postfilter with a cut-off frequency of 0.6-0.7 cm-1. Sixty-four reconstruction updates should be used when the whole lung is analysed and for the reduced lung a greater number of updates is needed.
BACKGROUND AND AIM: The image quality of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) depends on the reconstruction algorithm used. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate parameters in ordered subset expectation maximization (OSEM) and to compare systematically with filtered back-projection (FBP) for reconstruction of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) SPECT, incorporating attenuation and scatter correction. METHODS: The evaluation was based on the trade-off between contrast recovery and statistical noise using different sizes of subsets, number of iterations and filter parameters. Monte Carlo simulated SPECT studies of a digital human brain phantom were used. The contrast recovery was calculated as measured contrast divided by true contrast. Statistical noise in the reconstructed images was calculated as the coefficient of variation in pixel values. RESULTS: A constant contrast level was reached above 195 equivalent maximum likelihood expectation maximization iterations. The choice of subset size was not crucial as long as there were > or = 2 projections per subset. The OSEM reconstruction was found to give 5-14% higher contrast recovery than FBP for all clinically relevant noise levels in rCBF SPECT. The Butterworth filter, power 6, achieved the highest stable contrast recovery level at all clinically relevant noise levels. The cut-off frequency should be chosen according to the noise level accepted in the image. CONCLUSION: Trade-off plots are shown to be a practical way of deciding the number of iterations and subset size for the OSEM reconstruction and can be used for other examination types in nuclear medicine.

Networking is all about relationship building and being human. Whether you're attending a networking event or just working toward meeting new people there are some fundamentals to keep in mind. Jessica Fabrizi with onedegreetoconnect.org gave a presentation at Ignite Zurich on the 10 Commandments of Networking and provides the best practices to networking effectively.
1. Practice Reciprocity
Reciprocity means give and take. But the focus is on the give. You should give regardless. Do not expect anything in return.
When you genuinely like people, you realize that every person is unique, every person is interesting, and that we're all just trying to get by. So if you don't get something back in return immediately, don't worry. Your network will take care of you.
2. Make It A Lifestyle
Start networking now! Or as author Harvey Mackay put's it, "Dig Your Well Before You're Thirsty". Don't wait until you need something to start networking. This will put you into a mindset of trying to take instead of give. It will be an uphill battle.
Network anywhere and everywhere. There are fascinating people all around you!
3. Network Behind The Person
Remember that every person you meet has an entire network behind them as well. Even if you don't have very many synergies, that person may know others in their network that can help you.
This just adds to the fact that you should give even more, because you never know how that person may be able to help you!
4. Come Pre-Qualified
If you're trying to approach somebody, it's best to not just reach out cold. Try to discover mutual connections and ask for an introduction. This makes you "pre-qualified". This takes more work in the beginning, but will help you build deeper trust with that individual.
5. Be A Connector
It's great to be a networker and know a lot of people, but to really stand out, you need to become a connector. This is an individual who actively introduces people to others in their network.
You can also start to create events & gatherings around introducing people to each other. This builds your credibility with others and they will start reaching out to you! You become the source of information and new connections for others in your network!
6. Be The Host
When you're at an event, imagine you're the host of the event. Start introducing people to one another. Welcome individuals. Make others feel at home.
Once again, this is a mindset switch from taking to giving.
7. Be Curious
Don't make it about yourself. Make it about the other person. Ask questions. Be inquisitive. If you find that someone is "boring", it's because you haven't asked the right question. You can even ask some of the big talk questions to begin connecting with others.
People don't remember facts. They will remember how you made them feel. So make sure to make them feel important. Ask questions to discover their passions!
8. Have A Business Card
A lot of people these days think they don't need business cards anymore, but a business card is still a gift and a wonderful touchpoint to exchange information.
When you receive a business card, make sure you look at the business card, comment on it, and then thank them for sharing. It's like a small gift that says, "Hey, I like you enough to share my personal details."
When I comment on a business card, I usually read the email address back to them to make sure it's correct and to show that I care enough to read it.
9. Follow Up
If you make an amazing connection at an event, but never follow up, it will be wasted time.
You need to reach out and also provide value. Send the person an article that interests them. Connect them other people you may know. And make sure to follow up regularly! Of course you can always use The Personal Relationship Manager to help!
10. Be Online
After the face to face interaction has passed, use social media and online tools to stay connected. This gives you access to the entire planet worth of people. It let's you meet any number of new people in an instant.
Put this into practice!
With the above commandments in place, make sure to practice them! Seek out networking events, find new people to connect with, and always be kind and generous.
