While the phrase "Nobody's Perfect" might apply to humans, animals or possibly even make-believe friends, the term can also be adapted to things that aren't quite, oh what's the word … visible? Yes, things that can't be seen, like audio, can often times be sub-par, if you will.
In today's post, we will walk through the steps of using our favorite free, open-source audio editing software (Audacity) to fine-tune the bass, mid-range and highs of your audio through the application of an Equalization effect.
Looking for Setup instructions? We've got you covered! Our recent Audacity for Mac OS X Installation Tutorial includes setting up LAME as well!
For today's walk-through, we'll be applying the Equalization effect using Audacity 1.3 Beta (Unicode) for Mac OS X.
Step 1: MP3 Download
Before one can edit their AudioAcrobat recording in Audacity, the first step is to make sure that the file resides on the hard drive of the computer on which editing will be performed.
1. Login to your AudioAcrobat account
2. Click Audio (L)
3. Click the Title of the Audio you wish to Download
4. Click Download Audio
Looking for Expanded Steps? Try HERE.
Step 2: Open in Audacity
Now that the file our readers wish to edit is on their computer's hard drive, they will want to open the file with Audacity. Right-click the file and choose Open With and select Audacity from the list. Don't see it listed? Open Audacity from the Applications folder in the Dock. Open the software and click File >> Open, selecting the audio to be edited.
Once the file opens in Audacity, our readers will see something like this:
Step 3: Highlight, Equalization + Export
It really is that simple. Click and drag with the mouse cursor or for those keyboard enthusiasts out there use Shift + Left / Right arrow keys to make a selection.
For the Equalization effect, our readers will want to make sure to select the area which encompasses the intended duration of which the effect is to be applied.
Here our readers will want to select Effect >> Equalization as seen below:
Immediately after selecting the Equalization effect, the following pop-up window will appear:
If you're not already familiar with the range of frequencies seen above (20Hz – 4000Hz), anything left of center affects the 'low end' aka 'bass' frequencies. Anything to the right of center affects the 'high end' aka 'treble' frequencies. As you may have guessed, anything found near the center will affect mid range frequencies aka 'mids'.
By default, the Draw Curves option is selected and we are able to click on the blue line to add handle points, which in turn can be clicked and dragged vertically or horizontally along the axes seen above. A higher vertical positioning would be considered a 'boost', while lower vertical positioning will decrease the frequency's perceived volume by the listener.
If you require a 'zoomed in' or 'zoomed out' view of the grid, the sliders found along the left side of this pop-up will allow for just that.
There are several preset curves built-in to the default Audacity installation, all of which can be accessed through the Select Curve drop-down menu. Click on various options such as Bass Boost, Bass Cut, Treble Boost and Treble Cut to see how the blue line (Curve) changes based on your selection.
Should you come up with your own custom Curve that you'd like to save as a preset (like the others included in the Select Curve drop-down menu), the Save/Manage Curves button will allow you to do just that. Click Flatten to restore the curve to its default setting and click Invert to flip anything above/below 0dB.
Click the Preview button to preview your equalization in real-time. Select OK to confirm your selection and Audacity will immediately render the effect.
When satisfied, select File >> Export to save the newly edited version and head over to AudioAcrobat in an internet browser to begin the upload process.
Well that was quick … we've already walked through the process of downloading and opening our file, applying an Equalization effect using Audacity for Mac OS X and exporting the file for upload to the Web … and yet it seems as though we had just begun. If you agree, go ahead and click the 'Previous Post' link beneath this article to continue the joyride!
Did you get stopped somewhere in the process? Make sure you have LAME correctly setup then shampoo, rinse and repeat the steps listed above. Success will be yours!

On 2 November, the Forum on Geopolitics was pleased to welcome Sir Tony Brenton and Oksana Antonenko for a panel chaired by the Master of Peterhouse and former Senior Diplomatic Correspondent for the BBC, Bridget Kendall, titled "The Russian Revolution and its legacy for today" in the Department of Politics and International Studies at the Alison Richard Building. Sir Tony, who he served as the UK Ambassador to Russia from 2004-2008, noted Vladimir Putin's general ambivalence towards the Russian Revolution despite its profound global consequences.
Sir Tony noted that popular memory often limits Lenin's legacy is the Soviet Union, despite the fact that the Russian Revolution heralded the rise of the one party communist state in China. Importantly, Sir Tony highlighted that this aspect of the Russian Revolution's legacy has not been lost on China's leader, Xi Jinping. Indeed, in his October address to the Chinese Congress Xi stated: "A hundred years ago, the salvos of the October Revolution brought Marxism-Leninism to China. From that moment on, the Chinese Communist people have had in the party a backbone for their pursuit of national independence and liberation, prosperity and happiness." Sir Tony additionally highlighted parallels between the Russian Revolution and the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union, noting that both were swiftly followed by a retreat to authoritarianism. Finally, Sir Tony noted that observers tend to overlook the very personal elements of the Russian Revolution. This neglect of both the personal, and Russian, elements of the Russian Revolution may additionally have consequences for contemporary Russia: in a September 2017 poll the Levada Center found that 75% of Russians found the president of the Russian Federation "completely trustworthy", while only 35% of those polled found the Russian government completely trustworthy (40% found the Russian government "somewhat trustworthy"). A survey run by the Russian Public Opinion Research Center (VCIOM) in the same month yielded similar results.
Oksana Antonenko, a visiting Senior Fellow at the Institute of Global Affairs at the London School of Economic and Political Science, responded to Sir Tony's lecture by noting that the anniversary of the Russian Revolution was an uncomfortable for contemporary Russian government. The Revolution, Antonenko noted, remains generally understood through both personal and family narratives as opposed to an overarching state narrative. Antonenko additionally cited a recent poll by VCIOM that found that while 75% of Russians are aware that political persecution tool place during the Russian Revolution, VCIOM found that education level impacted understanding of the events. Antonenko noted that Russia's discomfort with the anniversary signalled the lack of a single dogma within the country while the Kremlin—and Putin—search for a new social contract to offer the Russian people. The fact that Putin has yet to officially announce his candidacy in the March 2018 elections further bolsters this assertion, Antonenko argued. The Kremlin leader's conspicuous silence as to his inevitable 2018 run indicates that he still has not settled on a platform and a message for the Russian people.

BRICS leaders praise Sudarshan's 'sand monuments' of five member nations
BENAULIM (Goa): Amid the ongoing BRICS Summit in Goa, heads of the states visited the sand sculptures of monuments of all the five member countries created in the lobby of a five-star resort here.
India's renowned sand artist Sudarshan Pattnaik has created the sculptures of monuments of all five participating nations – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
The leaders visited the sculptures yesterday.
"It was a great honour when Prime Minister Narendra Modi explained the importance of all the monuments to the heads of the states. The leaders spent around ten minutes looking at the monuments and also clicked a group photograph," Pattnaik told PTI.

Willpower: Goal Madness
May 18, 2019 04:30PM
● By Advisory Board
By Will Carr, Founder of Willpower
March is here and whether you're a basketball fan or not, you've heard of March Madness. Only the teams that have been selected as the best in college basketball are invited to participate. This is the event these athletes have been training for. This is the opportunity theseteams have been chasing all season long. Fighting for the chance to win the championship and be crowned the best team in the nation.
I remember this very well. The anticipation. The hype and excitement. If you're not into playing the sport though or watching basketball on TV, you might still get hooked into filling out a March Madness bracket. Millions of people every year pick which teams they believe will win each game prior to the matches taking place. All over the city and country, people fill out the NCAA March Madness brackets and compete to see who gets closest to the most accurate predictions. It almost can seem there is no way to escape the "madness."
It's March now and 2019 is well underway. It can seem at times that the year is getting away from us. Those goals you made at New Year's Eve may not have set in and become part of your lifestyle as much as you had hoped. Every day is a new opportunity to start something new, to end a current behavior, or change your life in some way, big or small.
Two months ago, we were celebrating the end to one year and the start of another. This month, all but one college basketball team will end their season with a loss. The basketball season that the athletes and coaches have been training and working so hard for will be over. But with the end of one season comes an opportunity to start something new. The ability to take count of our past experiences, losses, and wins. The chance to regroup and step forward in a new direction. Maybe it's nothing more than a minor shift in our awareness and attention, but the chance to take aim at a new goal without hesitation. If you're disappointed in how your New Year's resolutions have progressed, or if you're just looking to make a change in your life, I encourage you to make strides toward your goals now. You don't need an excuse or reason. You don't need a new year. All you need is to make a choice for yourself. It doesn't have to be anything special or at a special time.
Today is special enough. You're special enough. Make a change, do something new, treat yourself special—starting now.

Linked Heritage Glossary
This is the glossary of LH project
Terminology Management Platform (TMP)
The Terminology Management Platform, short TMP, is a tool box for creating, editing and managing thesaurus, classifications, subject headings, ontology and any other kind of terminology. This platform is mainly dedicated to cultural institutions from any sector (Libraries Archives and Museums) who hold or are willing to create terminologies.
The overall terminology workflow – elaborated in the context of the ATHENA Project - comprises the following steps: 1. Registration 2. SKOSification (i.e. conversion into SKOS) 3. Search/Navigation 4. Mapping 5. Enrichment 6. Collaborative moderation. TMP supports cultural heritage institutions to upload, register and SKOSify the terminologies first, before proceeding to the next steps. Moreover TMP offers the possibility for an institution to make sharable its terminology in an exchangeable format to the community and Europeana. TMP allows to manage terminologies according to Europeana ingestion rules, and to collaborately create a network of interlinked multilingual terminologies in a Europeana compliant format (SKOS).

A thesaurus is a type of controlled vocabulary. It is considered the most elaborate form of vocabulary, as it contains a large amount of information. Terms in thesauri are related to each other by hierarchical, equivalent and/or associative relations. A hierarchical relation means that one term is considered broader or narrower than another, expressing for example a sort of relation: a guitar is considered a narrower term of a musical instrument because a guitar is a sort of musical instrument. It is a vertical relation. An equivalent relation means that several terms are considered equal, but one term is to be preferred to another. For example, house and dwelling are synonyms, but in a thesaurus one term will be preferred and the other will be alternative. This relation is horizontal. An associative relation represents non-direct relations: the term is not a narrower nor a broader term, nor is it a synonym, but there is a relation anyhow. Guitar can be a narrower term of musical instruments and guitar tabs can be a narrower term of sheet music. Even though they do not have a parent-child relationship, guitar can be linked to guitar tabs via an associative relation.
Terms in a thesaurus are considered unique and can have a unique identification number (reused in a URI). Their meaning and use are described in scope notes.
In the SKOS-model, developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), terms in a thesaurus are considered concepts. This is because, in SKOS, not the term is important, but its hierarchical, equivalent and associative relations, as well as all the additional information it contains, expressed in URIs. A term refers to the lexical string of syllables and vowels, whereas a concept refers to a unit of thought expressed in a formal computer language. Because of the formal characteristics of concepts, language barriers can be overcome when linking and retrieving resources (See: Athenawiki - Definitions).

Humans have evolved a new body part: the cell phone. One day it will be part of anatomical illustrations of the body in health and medical books probably an appendage on your head. I'm not a Dr. so don't quote me.
For now, we have to figure out a way to keep this appendage juiced up without being lured into a data-sucking battery-charge station.
There's even a name for this kind of crime: juice jacking. The kiosk is designed to appear like a legitimate battery charging station, when in fact, it will steal your phone's data while it's hooked up.
Worse yet, sometimes the thief will set the station to deposit malware into your phone. The crook will then have access to all the sensitive information and images that you have on the device.
These fraudulent stations are often set up at locations where users would be in a rush and won't have time to check around for signs of suspicion or even think about the possibility of getting their personal life transferred out of their phone and into the hands of a stranger.
Are these thieves smart or what?
But you can be smarter.

We learn that NASCAR fined a couple of Cup Series drivers $50,000 for making disparaging comments and tried to keep those fines secret, and the Answer Man isn't irritated by this?
Not particularly. We're not talking about a government agency or elected officials; NASCAR is a private business and those who participate know they have to play by NASCAR's rules. Life is about leverage, and if anyone would rather take a walk and find a better gig, well, that's their choice.
What about them not making it public, telling us who was fined, and thereby avoiding all the digging and speculation?
In retrospect, probably a mistake. But you can also see the positives in trying to keep it all hush-hush. Imagine the circus around Driver A's hauler if it was announced Driver A had just been lightened 50 grand for running his yap too much. Imagine the howls directed at NASCAR for trying to put the clamps on internal criticism.
They're getting that criticism anyway, so why not just make it public?
Don't overlook the possibility (probability?) that many of these penalizing hits have taken place over the years without anyone (particularly the media) ever finding out. Maybe NASCAR's batting average in the secrecy department is about .950, or even .999. Maybe this is the only one that got away. Maybe we should file it away, label it all "very interesting," and go back to either enjoying or ignoring the product.
Since you mentioned it: Ignoring the product? What's up with those Brickyard TV numbers?
There was nothing UP about 'em. The rating of 4.2 was way down from last year's 4.8, which was down from 2008's 5.1. As we speak, you can bet there are some smart people (and maybe a few others) trying to figure a way to reverse that trend. On the "bright side," everyone's numbers seem to be down. In a little more than a month, however, the NFL will crank up and we'll be reminded that North America's true sporting behemoth is still motoring along with nothing to impede its progress.
Speaking of progress, could a new race-day spotter really be the answer to getting Jeff Gordon back to Victory Lane?
Think of it this way: The driver is like the quarterback, the crew chief is like the offensive coordinator, the owner like the head coach and GM. The spotter, standing high above the action and serving as the driver's extra set of eyes and ears, is like the left tackle, the man protecting the blindside. A bad one can get you into a whole lot of trouble. A good one can't make you win, but can certainly make things easier.
-- Ken Willis

The Magnifier is a new feature in IrfanView 4.53. Don't know why, since Windows has a magnifier too.
May be a recently installed program has 'captured' ALT+F11.
BTW: I use F9 and it works perfectly. F9 is easy to find and press on the keyboard, and you do only need to press one key.
AFAIK: Irfanview converts each page of a PDF to a bitmap. It can not handle a PDF as a document.
You need to use a PDF Viewer, eg. PDF-XChange Viewer...
You need to start Irfanview with the correct filename: i_view32.exe or i_view64.exe .

Let me explain why it is not possible to view a 'next' folder when you reach the last picture. It is because IrfanView is not able to decide which the 'next' folder is.

After setting the DPI have a look at the Printing Size, if that matters to you, and eventually alter the DPI setting.

Yesterday I informed Stefan about the problem and it seems that he did what only he can do. ;)

Holy shit - will this problem never end?
You can send your bug report directly to the developer, Irfan Skiljan. His e-mail addres is under 'Help / About Irfanview'.

I second that. However, the developer does not read this forum, so you have to write him an e-mail.

Who's Gonna Shoe Your Feet?
The way the lyrics of this song switches perspectives, from a man who asks "who's gonna be your man?" to a woman who says "I don't need no man," and then back again is a common feature of many traditional ballads that came to the United States from Britain. The singer becomes a storyteller, rather than a "speaker" in the first person as we usually hear in most songs today.
This is a traditional song. Double C tuning with capo on the second fret, aDADE.
Who's gonna shoe your feet?
Who's gonna glove your hand?
Who's gonna kiss your pretty little lips?
Who's gonna be your man?
Papa's gonna shoe my feet.
Mama's gonna glove my hand.
Sister's gonna kiss my pretty little lips.
I don't need no man.
Longest train I ever did see,
A hundred coaches long.
And the only woman that I ever did love
Was on the train and gone.

"In the spring of 2017, at a house party celebrating May Day in Washington, DC, a small crew of socialist organizers identified an enticing vulnerability in their city's local eviction machine—one that might help them slow or even stall its gears.
With beers in hand and electronic music in the background, members of the Metro DC chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America hashed through the facts: Each year, landlords in the city submit between 30,000 and 50,000 eviction filings in DC housing court, trapping tenants in a complex and intimidating legal system that rids them of their homes with frightening efficiency. Tenants often don't show up for court and are evicted by default. Sometimes tenants aren't even informed that they are facing eviction and have no chance to advocate for themselves. Many renters don't know where to go for legal help. Many don't know their rights. But what if people pushed back, the organizers wondered? What if tenants started clogging up that too-efficient court system? The house party ended, and a new housing campaign began.
"We decided to go to the courthouse and pull all of the dockets and start canvassing tenants facing eviction," says Margaret McLaughlin, the chair of the Metro DC DSA chapter. "We wanted to let them know their rights—that they have a right to a lawyer. That they need to show up to court."
The chapter started sending out 10 to 20 volunteer canvassers each weekend to do long days of door-knocking at rental units across the city. They hit roughly 200 doors on any given weekend, encouraging tenants to defend themselves from eviction. They wrote an organizing manual to guide their efforts. And they chose an aggressive name for the campaign: They called it Stomp Out Slumlords."

It's been a long, strange old year for Kanye West.
From production credits to solo albums, Wyoming playback events, lengthy interviews, and his support - however qualified - for Donald Trump, Yeezy has rarely been out of the news credits.
With 2018 coming to an end, Kanye West has caused a stir once more, seeming to suggest that a collaboration with Bob Dylan could/should be on the cards.
It was all sparked by a simple tweet:
Calling out to Bob Dylan Let's get together— ye (@kanyewest) December 12, 2018
The purists were immediately outraged, voicing their disapproval in the mentions.
But: could it happen? Kanye West has already chalked up a number of All Time Greats on his CV, notably working with Sir Paul McCartney and Rihanna on the same single.
For his part Dylan has eulogised hip-hop; from connections to The Roots and Beastie Boys through to his viral run through of LL Cool J's classic 'Mama Said Knock You Out' the Great Bard hasn't shied away from his approval.
Our verdict: Stranger things have happened, but we're not holding out breath.

FISCHER, Grace 1895-1990
Posted By: Tammy (email)
Date: 9/2/2013 at 11:38:46
Rites Held For Grace Fischer
Grace (Huisman) Fischer was born on November 2, 1895, in Shiloh Township north of Wellsburg, IA. She passed away on January 12 at 10:25 a.m. at the Long Term Care unit of the Grundy Memorial Hospital, Grundy Center. She attained the age of 94 years, two months and 10 days.
She was the daughter of John and Mathilda Schultz Huisman. Grace attended rural schools in the Wellsburg area. In 1914 she moved to Wellsburg with her parents and worked for H. B. Koolman's general store and the local telephone office.
On October 30, 1916, she was united in marriage to John L. Fischer at Clarion, IA. They made their home in Wellsburg where Jack was employed by Beving & Flessner in the hardware business. In 1931, he started his own hardware, plumbing, and heating business. Grace was an outgoing person who loved young people, and she made many friends. She enjoyed doing things for others.
Grace was a long time member of the Second Christian Reformed Church of Wellsburg, and was an active member of the Willing Workers Society until conditions and health forced her to retire. Since WWII she was an active member of the American Legion Auxiliary and the Shiloh Homemakers.

She was preceded in death by her husband in 1971, and two great-grandchildren.

After months of wedding preparation the bride-to-be might be in need of total relaxation ahead of the big day. Alternatively she might be ready to get "wild" and celebrate with her closest friends with a big adventure on our hen party safari experience.
With four incredible destinations to choose from this is the trip of a lifetime for any nature loving bride-to-be.
We have a range of safari adventures available from 3-day mobile safaris to a full week spent in some of the most spectacular environments in the world. Our hen safari tours include some incredible locations;
From camping under the stars to beautiful safari lodges we'll provide the complete safari experience so you can go in search of Africa's famous 'Big Five'.
There is of course a wealth of incredible wildlife to be seen on what really will be the trip of a lifetime creating memories the bride and her guests will remember long after the last slice of wedding cake has been cut. Make sure you have those cameras at the ready and a suitably jaunty hat (it's really not a proper safari unless you have a hat, as well as looking fierce, they're also really handy in the incredible mid-day heat).
This is most certainly not your average hen weekend and is one of our more opulent activities with a price tag to match. If you have any questions about how we can build a safari itinerary to suit your plans and budget, then please contact our team today to ask how we can work for you.
"There is something about safari life that makes you forget all your sorrows and feel as if you had drunk half a bottle of champagne - bubbling over with heartfelt gratitude for being alive."

5 SOS covers Queen Classic "KILLER QUEEN"
I am here for it!! You can't say you love music if you don't know who Queen is or what their music did to change the industry all together. 5SOS is paying homage with a cover of the Queen Classic "Killer Queen" and it is EVERYTHING!! So impressed with the worked they put into this one.
"For us, the exploration of individual vocalists in a band is incredibly important and Queen helped us to see the future of how we want to sing, in addition to how we play our instruments. As a pioneer of individuality, Freddie taught us what it means to embrace the idea of truly being yourself and that's a part of Queen that lives on in their music now, more than ever." - 5SOS
They did the cover to raise money for the AIDS research charity, Mercury Phoenix Trust, set up by Queen for their late frontman, Freddie Mercury.

10 Ways to Speed Up Your PcAuthor: Duncan Kelly
A slow computer is a real pain, especially when you are in a tearing hurry to get something done. Well, take heart! There are ways of speeding a slow computer up, without having to buy a new one.
First and foremost, if your RAM (Random Access Memory) is too small, increasing it's size will definitely solve most of your problems. When RAM is too small, the computer spends most of it's time swopping data from it's RAM to the hard drive and back again. It does this because the computer works from the RAM - whatever you see on your screen has to be in the RAM first, so if there's no space in the RAM it has to make space by taking something else out first. Getting stuff off the hard drive is much slower than getting it from RAM, so the computer becomes slow. The more programs you load at the same time, the more this swopping will occur, and the slower your computer will become.
To give you a rough idea of RAM needs: Windows XP will work nicely on 1 gigabyte (1000 megabytes) of RAM. You can get by with 512MB, but 1 gig is better. If you are running Windows Vista, you will probably be better off with 2 Gigs of RAM.
(2 Gigs (or GB) of RAM is 2,000 MegaBytes, which is 2,000,000,000 Bytes, where one byte is the memory used to store one character, such as an "A" or a "7" )
Other things also affect performance, although not as much as RAM tinyness. Here are some of those other things you can do to get your speed up:
1. Keep your recycled bin empty. Windows has to keep track of those files, somewhere in it's memory.
2. Defragment your hard drive every so often. This process relocates the files on your hard drive into contiguous lumps, making the time shorter that it takes for your hard drive to load a file, because it doesn't have to go looking all over the drive to find all the bits of your files.
3. Keep the number of icons on your desktop to a minimum. Icons are little graphic pictures, which all have to be loaded into the RAM in order to be displayed on the screen. Move as many of them as possible into a separate folder, and then just drag a shortcut to the folder onto your desktop.
4. Check your startup folder, that you are not loading a whole lot of programs that you never use. Delete what is unnecessary.
5. Check your Temp folder. You can usually delete the items within this folder. (NOT the folder itself! Windows uses it) If you get an error message when you try to delete one of these files, then just leave it there - it means some program is presently temporarily using it.
6. Shut down programs when you are not using them. Don't just minimise them and leave them running. They are using memory space.
7. In Task manager (right click blue bar at bottom of screen, select Task manager) click on the processes tab and see what processes are taking all your memory. Click on the mem.usage column to sort the numbers numerically. A Google search will tell you what these things do, and quite a lot of them can be shut down. Important!! Don't shut anything down if you don't know what it does.
8. Sometimes upgrading to a faster CPU (main processor) will help performance, but this is quite expensive and it's often easier and not much more expensive just to buy a new, faster computer.
9. Clean out all your deleted emails, which often just pile up and use resources.
10. Type faster. Sorry, only kidding. I couldn't resist that one! It will get your speed up though!
These few tips should get you going a bit faster, and hopefully reduce stress and irritation. Happy computing!

How Do I Make A Great Market Research Blog? – Ten Blogging Tips for Beginners
Based on everything I know about blogging, here are 10 quick tips on how to make a fantastic market research blog:
1. Design your blog for easy navigation – Spend time thinking about what layout, colours, fonts, and images help guide your readers through your stories and your entire blog.
2. Don't be afraid to share your opinions – Personalize your writing style and add in a little humor, but don't forget, to include the facts and a great argument.
3. Plain text is boring – Stylize your fonts and paragraphs, and add in relevant images, video, and audio to help entice readers, and push your key points.
4. Learn basic HTML – WYSIWYG editors, make mistakes, and can limit what formatting you can apply to your stories, so sometimes, manual coding is essential.
5. A headline is half the story – A good headline will determine if readers will consider reading your latest article, and it will also determine if anyone can find it on a search engine.
6. If you're not the expert, don't pretend to be – Write about what you know and encourage others to write about what you don't.
7. Use Google Alerts – All great posts, start with a great idea, so keep on top of the latest news in your areas of choice.
8. Expose yourself – Join as many online social networks as you can handle, to promote your blog articles to a wider audience.
9. Don't let your readers go home hungry – Make sure you always have other relevant things on your blog for your most loyal readers to discover and explore.
10. Build a network – Join in on online discussions and build a network of people that share your passion for market research, and other related areas of interest.
Frequently asked questions about blogging:
"What do people often do wrong?"
I often find people start their own blog because they have one or two things they want to share with the world. Unfortunately this isn't enough to keep your own blog going for very long, but fortunately there are many blogs and blogging networks that will post your article for you. This avoids the common "dead blog" from occurring and still allows people to share the occasional story.
The other thing I quite often see done wrong is poorly marketing a blog and it's content. If you own a blog and haven't spent hours upon hours learning about online marketing and search engine optimization, then consider contracting someone to do it for you if you are taking your blogging seriously. A blog that isn't marketed properly won't be read.
"Do you know a blog that is not widely known, but is really good?"
"Really good" is quite relative to what type of information you are seeking. However, a rule of thumb is that a really good blog is easy to find and quickly gains traction among a readership, so no, the blogs I spend most of my time on are fairly well-known. If you are ever looking for a new market research blog to read, Tom H.C. Anderson has put together a fairly comprehensive list on his blog based on readers' submissions.
"Is there a right or wrong on how often to blog, how long a post should be, and how focused on market research a blog should be?"
The answers to these questions are quite simple actually. Blog as frequently as you can handle, but be consistent as not to alienate your readers. I remember in college one of my radio journalism professors always saying KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID! So keep your posts short and simple, if you can explain something clearly in two sentences then don't drag it out for two paragraphs! Be as focused as possible on your topic area, but don't be afraid to occasionally write about outside topics that may also be of interest to your readers. Decide early on if you're going to try to be the "Walmart" of blogs, covering a wide arrange of topic areas, or the "Apple" of blogs, covering a tightly focused quality topic area.

Thames Tideway Tunnel
The Thames Tideway Tunnel is a major new sewer, urgently needed to protect the tidal River Thames from increasing pollution. Last year, 55 million tonnes of sewage overflowed into the river.
The tunnel. which will be 7.2 metres in diameter and have a capacity of 1.6 million cubic metres, will upgrade London's sewerage system to cope with the demands of the city well into the 22nd century.
Starting in west London, the proposed route for the main tunnel generally follows the route of the River Thames to Limehouse, where it then continues north-east to Abbey Mills Pumping Station near Stratford. There it will be connected to the Lee Tunnel, which will transfer the sewage to Beckton Sewage Treatment Works..

Member Blogs > Journey of a BooksellerA Dark so Deadly by Stuart MacBride
Sat, 10 Jun 2017 09:00:00 PermalinkLong ago, as a young boy, he asked his parents to stop at the local rest stop so he could visit the bathroom. When he's doing his business, a sexual predator finds him and tries to take him. He escapes, but he can't find his family. The car and the caravan where there, but they were not. He hides in the caravan until the predator goes away. In the end, he goes into foster care...
Harper Collins and Net Galley let me read this book for review (thank you). It's been published so you can buy a copy now.
Callum had become a cop. He had no idea that the current case he was investigating would go all the way back to that day in his life when he was abandoned. He's also not popular at the cop shop because he covered for his girlfriend (another cop) and has been thrown in with a bunch of misfits. They might not be the usual cops but they do solve crimes.
This is a sad read. The further they go, the more bodies they find. They had a major suspect and he ran from them and drowned. There was evidence at his apartment. But Callum doesn't think that's the end of it. He thinks two people were involved.
He confirms this by accident and narrowly misses losing his life. The killer was totally unexpected and his motives were odd. His mind was unbalanced. I had no clue who the killer was until it was too late for Callum to escape. I would have been in the same trouble he was. An intelligent killer is hard to find but sometimes they're too smart for their own good. This one got overconfident.
It as was a good read if a bit depressing. All those people who died were chosen for their looks or sexual desire. They didn't deserve to die.
You read it and let me know if you figure out who the murderer is before you get to the climax. I sure didn't...

Hey lovely readers!
Here's a random discussion post for your reading pleasure.
I don't know about you guys, but I pretty much hate getting rid of books even though I know I'll never read them. Like it gives me a bit of anxiety, like I wasted money, or I'm somehow failing because I haven't read certain books. But the other day I was staring at my very full TBR bookshelf and I was just exhausted. The list made me feel exhausted and that was not alright with me. So here's what I did.
I took every last unread book off of my shelves, there were a lot haha. I put them in a big pile, picked each one up individually, and stared at it. I mean stared for a good while. And if the book didn't catch my interest it went in the donate pile. There were of course some that this didn't work for and in that case I went with a different approach. If the book had been on my TBR for a year or longer, there were quite a few, I put it on the donate pile. Let's be honest here, if I have a book on my shelf for a year or longer the chances of me reading it are pretty darn slim.
Usually I look at my TBR books and I talk myself into keeping the ones I know I have no interest in reading. These are usually the ones that people recommended to me or ones that everyone and their mother has read. So of course I feel like I need to read them. But the truth? I don't, you don't, no one does. That's what I reminded myself as I was going through my giant pile. And plus I get to donate all of those un-read books to someone who will actually read them. I got rid of 25 books and I'm pretty proud of that!
Thanks for reading guys! Talk to you soon! ❤ Adrianna

Cox News Service
Gateway Pundit dubbed the Democratic National Convention's program Tuesday evening as "Criminal Appreciation Night." Site proprietor Jim Hoft certainly has a point. The party officially nominated a candidate for the highest office in the land who committed acknowledged and admitted criminal acts, but whom the FBI and the intensely politicized Justice Department chose not to prosecute. A former president who was impeached over admitted perjury, also known as a crime, was also a featured speaker.
Tuesday night's program also included an appearance by several representatives of "Mothers of the Movement." Here, as seen at the Dayton Daily News, is how Richard Thompson of Rare.us, a Cox Media-owned web operation, began his coverage of the "Mothers" appearance:
Despite the warnings of Dick Cheney, George Will, Rush Limbaugh and Fox News, the Russians are not drilling for oil off Cuba. Neither are the Chinese. In fact, no one — not even Cuba — is drilling for oil off Cuba.
The pesky and persistent rumor, bubbling back up with the Deepwater Horizon disaster, is still nothing more than a pesky and persistent rumor — aired in 2008 by former Vice President Cheney (who got the misinformation from conservative columnist Will), repeated on Fox News and recently revived by conservative radio commentator Limbaugh, who told his listeners 10 days after the spill: "The Russians are drilling in a deal with the Cubans in the Gulf. The Vietnamese and Angola are drilling for oil in the Gulf in deals with the Cubans."
However, as oil from BP's exploded well continues surging from the Gulf floor and washing onto Panhandle beaches, the rumor is poised to become fact.
The Obama White House is serving as a convenient new employer for members of the media as news outlets downsize, but would they have felt so comfortable coming aboard a GOP President's staff? The latest hires: Three news photographers -- from Time magazine, Cox Newspapers and U.S. News & World Report magazine -- are joining the team of photographers snapping pictures at events and meetings in and around the White House complex.
The chief White House photographer, Pete Souza, "announced the hires to PDN," DCRTV.com reported Thursday in picking up the item from the week before on the Photo District News site. Souza had already tapped photographers from the McClatchy-Tribune News Service and the Associated Press.
The March 24 PDNonline post, "Time Magazine's Top Photo Editor Exits for White House," relayed the names of those leaving DC press corps slots for the Obama administration:
On PBS's Web site today, ombudsman Michael Getler writes of complaints over an incident during last Sunday's pledge drive. He describes the cheap shot taken by actor Mike Farrell against vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin:
According to Joseph Campbell, vice president of fundraising programs, here's what happened:
BLITZER: What do you think of his (Obama's) decision to pick Joe Biden as his running mate?
On CNN's American Morning today, White House correspondent Suzanne Malveaux reported on Barack Obama's campaigning in Virginia. Afterwards, anchor Kiran Chetry had a question:
CHETRY: All right. And Suzanne, what's on tap for the campaign today? And please tell me it's not lipstick again.
MALVEAUX: Let's hope not. He's going to be in Norfolk, Virginia. That is in southeast Virginia, and it's home to the world's largest Naval base. It's one of the most competitive areas that the Democrats and Republicans are fighting over. It's a critical piece of property, piece of land there with folks in Virginia, and they want those voters.
Rarely do the media put their institutional political bias on public display, but this past weekend, America's news industry titans left no doubt that they're fully behind one of the nation's most radical cultural and political movements.
ABC, AP, CBS, CNN, Fox, NBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and the corporate owners of USA Today, the Miami Herald, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, The Sacramento Bee, The Dallas Morning News and many other newspapers, all spent thousands of dollars sponsoring the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association convention in Washington, D.C. Many journalists from these Big Media mainstays attended or spoke at the convention.
In the name of "diversity," all the organizations listed above ran recruiting booths, as did NPR. Thus, the nation's major news providers demonstrated that they have bought into the central proposition of homosexual activists: that people engaging in homosexuality or bisexuality, along with transsexuals, are a historically oppressed minority group deserving the same preferential treatment and legal protections that society provides to ethnic minorities and women.
Ohio's Old Media needs a collective medical intervention to battle Chronic Reporting Amnesia (CRA).
Ohio's Democratic Attorney General, who has been no stranger to controversy since his election in November 2006, is in major hot water over the conduct of two employees on his staff:
An attorney representing two women whose sexual harassment allegations have triggered a widening scandal at Attorney General Marc Dann's office says his clients have abundant evidence of their claims.
Here's a side of global warming the shills at Newsweek and alarmists such as Al Gore don't want to address: there are actually countries and peoples on the planet who would welcome a less frigid climate.
Take for example Russia, where a little warming would help such industries as agriculture, oil drilling, and tourism, while obviously cutting down on the number of cold-related deaths each winter.
As reported by Cox News Service Sunday (emphasis added throughout):

What a week we have had in Y4! We have really hit the ground running with our learning, not waisting any time at all. In maths we have looked at missing number addition and subtraction; using our counting on method to solve both of these. In English we practiced our presentation skills linked to cursive handwriting, then put these into practice writing our own autobiography to help Miss Ball find out a little bit more about us.
Next week is going to be just as exciting, with a trip to Ashton's Green Allotments planned, linked to our Challenge Curriculum question 'What plants and animals thrive in our locality?'.

Over the years, there have been some looks that Kim Kardashian has worn that many people would not care to replicate, perhaps because they were far too fashion-forward, or because they looked incredibly uncomfortable. The same can be said for her sister, Kourtney Kardashian. But despite these women sometimes wearing outfits that many women would never dream of owning, both of these women are celebrated in the fashion industry for being some of the most stylish people in the world.
No one can argue with the fact that both Kim and Kourtney are always impeccably groomed, and although they both have their own unique sense of style, they have also both worn some outfits which are super chic, and also easy to replicate. There are also many lessons to be learned from them, for example, the beauty of tonal dressing, and how finishing off a look with a trench coat turns it from plain to trendy.
Don't expect to see them in glitter and rhinestone heels, because these are the things Kim told Love magazine she was once obsessed with and now laughs at. But below are 10 times Kim Kardashian's outfits were fantastic, and 10 times we preferred Kourtney's looks.
Let's start with these 10 flawless looks Kim K served up...
20 Even Simple Garments Look Stylish When Limited To One Color
Kim Kardashian is a woman who always looks impeccably groomed and well-dressed, but to look great doesn't mean she has to wear bodycon dresses and stilettos every time she steps out the house, and she knows this.
This is one of Kardashian's outfits that is super easy to copy, and by opting for basic garments in a monochromatic color scheme, she has streamlined her look, which makes it more stylish. Also, while white is not the most practical color, especially with little kids because we all know how easy it is to get food or bodily fluids smeared onto our clothes, it is a color that is crisp and fresh.
19 High Necks And Subtle Patterns Are A Combination That Makes A Statement Without Trying Too Hard
Kim Kardashian's eldest daughter, North West, is already celebrated for having a more stylish wardrobe than most adults, and she has definitely picked up her fashion skills from her mama. Kim Kardashian doesn't have to show skin to turn heads, and this matching jacket and trouser set is proof of that because she looks so ladylike and pulled together.
The subtle white and pale blue patterns are striking, without trying too hard, and we love that she finished the look off with a simple top with a high neckline -- a choice that's perfect for the cooler temperatures.
18 Who Says Wardrobes Can't Include Bright Colors? Definitely Not Kim K
When Kim Kardashian and North West stepped out in New York City, they did it in style and wore bright garments. Kardashian opted for a pink jacket and leggings, while North stepped out in a neon green dress.
For most of us, it's more common to have a wardrobe of muted colors because they are easy to mix and match, and darker colors are an especially good choice because they tend to be more forgiving with grime. And this makes the thought of wearing color daunting, but it shouldn't be. Sometimes a bright colored garment looks really great, and it's a nice break from the all-black we so often wear as our daily uniforms.
17 A Simple Pair Of Ripped Jeans And A T-Shirt Are The Perfect Combinations For A Stroll With A Baby
Jeans are so comfortable, and they are a great wardrobe staple because they can be worn multiple times without needing a wash (and when the laundry seems like it's never-ending then this is always a pro). Plus, they can be mixed and matched with just about anything, from blouses when you want to dress up, or simple tees, like Kim Kardashian has opted to do here.
Kardashian is not exactly tall, so we get why she added heels to the look, although going about daily activities and pushing a stroller is not exactly something most moms would choose to do in strappy heels.
16 Kim Kardashian Knows Which Colors And Styles Work For Her
Kim Kardashian has a distinct personal style, and that tends to involve body-hugging garments that show off her curves. She knows what looks good on her, and so she wears the same styles over and over again, like this tube dress.
Flesh-color pieces are very chic, and it's a color that will work for most women because it's not too bright or too bold (so you can wear it without fretting that everyone is going to be staring at you).
But perhaps the best thing about Kardashian and her style is how she has become a role model for positivity because of how she dresses. Demi Lovato once told Allure (via Entertainment Tonight) "...Kim Kardashian—say whatever you want about her—but she has revolutionized what's accepted with curves nowadays."
15 The Hoodie And Short-Legging Combination Is Comfortable, But The Addition Of The Long Coat Also Makes It Sophisticated
Kim Kardashian has some of the most prestigious designers in the world to dress her in the latest trends, and a team of stylists on-hand to make her look glamorous, but there are also days when she opts for more casual outfits. Like this outfit she wore when she was out and about in Los Angeles, Harper's Bazaar reports.
Biker shorts are incredibly popular at the moment, and Kardashian is definitely a fan. We like the way she kept her outfit simple by pairing it with a moss green hoodie, but then she pulled it all together with a trench coat and heels.
14 Sweater Dresses Are Super Stylish (And Comfortable)
Sweater dresses are incredibly comfortable, and they also have Kim Kardashian's stamp of approval. These dresses are great for cooler temperatures and can keep you warm.
It's a trend that has been around for a long time, and if you want to update the look for 2019, then InStyle has some tips to do this. The first is accessorizing well, and the publication notes that wearing shoes that are matching, and piling on white accessories is a good start. As is wearing statement pieces, which Kardashian has done here by wearing snake print shoes and a big pendant necklace.
13 Kim Kardashian's Grey Top Is The One Item We'd Love To Steal From Her Wardrobe
Grey is a fantastic color (it's not as harsh as black, and more practical than white), and this is one of Kim Kardashian's best looks. In fact, if we could steal any piece from her wardrobe, there is a good chance that it would be this fitted grey top.
Again, Kardashian has shown the importance of tonal outfits because not only do they look better, they also help to lengthen her frame. Plus, accessorizing a neutral look is easy, meaning you can choose shoes or handbags of any color. Marie Claire notes that monochromatic dressing is a lesson women everywhere can learn from Kardashian to change their fashion game.
12 Finally, A Look That We Can All Wear On A School Run
PopSugar notes that one of the style lessons we have learned from Kim Kardashian is the importance of a leather jacket, and how it can add a final touch to any outfit. This is true for this particular outfit, which is incredibly plain if it were not for the addition of the jacket.
But another reason we love this outfit of Kim Kardashian's is that she ditched the heels (for once) in favor of a pair of trainers. When running around doing errands, with children in tow, it always helps to be in comfort, and this is a look that would be great for a school run.
11 Not Everyone Is A Fan Of This Look, But Mixing Casual With Smart Really Works For Kim
Kim Kardashian is the queen of layering, and although not everyone will appreciate this look, it is very wearable. She took a slip dress, and to make it more modest (and warmer) she paired it with a long-sleeve jacket, giving the look a sort of athleisure feel too it. The key here is that she has limited the colors, because a bright pink top underneath a charcoal grey dress wouldn't exactly work, but these colors don't clash, which makes her look awesome.
It's also more wearable with the addition of the track jacket because you don't have to worry about the low-neckline of the dress.
And now for the 10 times Kourtney's outfits were even more on point...
10 There's Something About An All-White Ensemble That's So Chic
Like her sister Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian understands monochromatic dressing, and there is something about an all-white outfit that is particularly chic. Although you wouldn't find us wearing this look every day, it's great for functions and events for when you want a smart alternative to dresses.
Some tips for wearing all white include trying out different textures, something which Kourtney has clearly done with her own outfit by wearing a lace top (knits, demin, and faux furs also work). According to The Fashion Spot, you can break up the look with accessories, and also add in neutrals through shoes, handbags and even nails.
9 Kourtney Shows Us That Wearing A T-Shirt Can Be Stylish, If You Accessorize Well
Denim jeans are Kourtney Kardashian's thing! And a jeans and T-shirt combination is something that every woman should have in her wardrobe -- even celebrities. The reason being that firstly, they are so comfortable, and secondly, it's easy to mix and match jeans with a variety of different tees and tops to suit every occasion.
What we have learned from Kourtney's outfit is that if you're going to wear basic garments, then stick to solid, neutral colors. And, on a side note, it seems heels can dress up even the most simple outfit (not that we all intend to wear sky-high stilettos).
8 Leather Pants Aren't For Everyone Or Every Occasion, But This Style Is
We know leather pants are not for everyone, and depending on the climate, they can be very impractical and even uncomfortable. However, this style of leather pants is worth trying out because while they still look every bit as cool as fitted leather pants, they are much more relaxed.
When wearing wide-legged trousers, you can dress the look up or down, and it seems Kourtney has chosen a top that falls somewhere in the middle. But the most important thing to remember when choosing a top is to find something more fitted, which will be able to balance out the look.
7 Kourtney Kardashian Is Also Not Afraid To Wear Bright Colors When The Occasion Calls For It
The overall effect of Kourtney Kardashian's look --- which Zimbio notes she wore to Kanye West's Famous visual premiere at the LA Forum in 2016 -- is effortless and cool. And we can't help but point out how comfortable she looks in her oversized sleeved T-shirt, which she styled as a dress and paired with thigh-high boots.
The outfit is bold and bright, but Kourtney is not afraid of a little color every now and then, (a tip we can all remember). Her look is courtesy of her brother-in-law, Kanye West, as evident by the "Pablo" slogan, which is part of his Life of Pablo merchandise.
6 Co-Ords Are So On-Trend, But Also Easy To Wear (And You Don't Have To Think About What To Mix And Match)
If ever we need inspiration for what to wear in the airport, it seems we need not look further than Kourtney Kardashian, because once again, this is a look she wore while traveling. First, let's get into what's right about it; the sparkly glitter fabric? Check. The matching co-ords? Check. The price? Yes, that's the best part of this outfit. These pieces are incredibly affordable, and according to Glamour, the outfit is from H&M and together costs just a little over a $100.
Now, the next important thing to discuss is the comfort factor, and when traveling on a flight, especially a long haul one, it's important to choose clothing that won't cause discomfort during the journey.
5 Bell Sleeve Sweaters And Matching Mules Are The Most Ladylike Combination Out There
We've seen Kourtney Kardashian wear jeans and T-shirt and thought her outfits were something we could all wear and feel comfortable in, but the beauty of jeans is their versatility because they look just as good… wait, even better, when paired with a long sweater with flared bell sleeves, and matching mules. This look is so simple, yet also so ladylike.
The bell sleeve sweater has been around for a few years now, and there are a number of different styles available, but the key to wearing this style and not letting it annoy you (as in, not letting it cover your hands), is to pick an item that ends at the wrist, StyleCaster notes.
4 Dressing For The Airport Can Be Tricky, But Not For Kourtney K
Traveling is important to Kourtney Kardashian, both for work and leisure, and she listed it as the third most important thing in her life in an interview with GQ Mexico (via Us Weekly) -- behind being a mother and fitness. Because she does so much traveling, she has learned that she needs to dress to be comfortable, but she is also a celebrity who is photographed every time she leaves the house, so this comfort has to be combined with being stylish.
We love this look because it is perfect for the airport as it's stylish, but also comfortable, a balance that can be so hard to achieve. Also, trench coats are a Kourtney Kardashian wardrobe staple.
3 Jeans And A Tee Are Definitely A Mom-Approved Outfit
Outerwear can really make or break an outfit, and in this case, it makes Kourtney Kardashian's outfit. The blush hue of her coat is a great transitional piece, and the flowy style is so feminine.
Kourtney Kardashian described her daily style to Harper's Bazaar as being "easy and effortless." She continued, "I don't like to take too much time getting ready. Being a mom, I love to play with my kids and have fun with them, but I also love fashion. My mom and both of my grandmothers have always been into fashion, so it's been around us our whole lives. It's definitely a mix."
2 A Classic Trench Can Pull Together Any Outfit And Transform It From Basic To Trendy
Kourtney Kardashian has an enviable wardrobe, one most women would love to get their hands on. When she stepped out to go about her daily activities wearing an all-black ensemble comprising of black skinny jeans, a black T-shirt, and a sleek trench coat (again, one of her staple pieces), you could not help but appreciate just how fabulous she looked.
All black outfits will probably remain a favorite for style icons, and us regular folk, and for good reason, it just looks so sophisticated. In addition to being sophisticated, a dark-colored outfit is also incredibly form-flattering, and forgiving with any spills.
1 Please Let Us Into Your Wardrobe, Kourt, Because Those Sweaters Are So Fresh
Kourtney Kardashian is not afraid to try out a wide range of different styles, prints, and patterns, and most of what she chooses to wear really works for her. She's daring in her fashion choices, but sometimes she also plays it safe and chooses comfort over high-fashion.
The athleisure trend's rise in popularity has made both men and women rejoice because it finally means we can step out of the house in sweaters without concern about judgment, and, speaking of sweaters, Kourtney has some of the best sweaters. In this look, she is super casual but still looks cool and collected.

Starring: Tom Hardy, Olivia Colman, Ruth Wilson, Andrew Scott, Ben Daniels
Directed By: Steven Knight
Written By: Steven Knight
Rating: R (US) Running Time: 1 hr 25 min
Two Cents:
I'll admit, a movie about a ninety minute drive while a bloke makes a few phone calls, didn't sound that interesting. But then as the glowing reviews came in, I found myself more intrigued, and since the excellent Tom Hardy was the man making that drive, I figured I'd give the movie a screening. What followed was a fascinating character study of a man whose life has been turned upside down after a one night stand.
At first, the details about this one night stand, and subsequent pregnancy on the eve of a career defining building project, didn't seem all that much to worry about. I mean, sure, it's not good, but for the first thirty minutes of the film, I couldn't help thinking about all the ways this situation could be controlled. I even questioned the need for the journey, and wondered why this story needed to be a full length feature film.
But as Ivan (Tom Hardy) drives and makes his phone calls, we start to understand the motivations behind his actions. You see, Ivan has carefully crafted his career and family life, based around a single goal. Not to be like his own father. Who by all accounts was a complete loser, and wasn't even present when Ivan was born. Ivan takes pride in his role as a leader at work, and steadfast provider for his family. Everything his own father wasn't, and this one night sees Ivan try to do the right thing, despite the calamitous effect it'll have on this life.
A movie like this could easily come across as gimmicky, but Steven Knight's script and Tom Hardy's excellent performance totally justify the setting for this drama. And despite the single location, it's actually a stunningly photographed film. Haris Zambarloukos' photography perfectly capturing the varied bright colors during this epic night-time drive.
Movie Prep:
If you're a fan of Tom Hardy's work, this film is a must see. The story develops slowly at first so be patient. This movie is rated R for language.
Best Format:
This is a really nicely shot film, and would look great on a theater sized screen. A HD screening at home on your TV, laptop, or tablet would work too.
Best Elements:
Tom Hardy's performance, Steven Knight's script and Haris Zambarloukos' photography.

Clinton Woman Killed in Head-On Collision
Baton Rouge – Louisiana State Police Troop A investigated a two-vehicle fatal crash today in East Baton Rouge Parish. The crash, which claimed the life of a Clinton woman, occurred on LA 409 (Liberty Road) north of LA 64 shortly after 10:00 am this morning.
Troopers' preliminary investigation revealed that Matthew Harding (W/M, age 30) of Greenwell Springs was driving a 2006 GMC pickup north on LA 409 when he crossed the centerline and struck an oncoming 2005 Toyota Corolla. The driver of the Corolla, Nancy Pierce (W/F, age 48) of Clinton, was pronounced deceased on the scene by the East Baton Rouge Parish Coroner's Office. Troopers have submitted a sample of Pierce's blood to the Louisiana State Police Crime Lab for chemical analysis. Harding voluntarily submitted a breath sample that showed he had no detectable alcohol in his system. He also provided a urine sample, which Troopers have submitted to the Louisiana State Police Crime Lab for chemical analysis. Charges are pending the outcome of the investigation. Harding was properly restrained at the time of the crash. It is unknown at this time whether Pierce was properly restrained. The crash remains under investigation.
Troopers remind motorists to pay close attention while driving a vehicle at all times. Inattentive drivers account for a large number of serious crashes across the state every year. You can effectively reduce the chances of being involved in a crash by ensuring that you are well-rested, alert, and attentive while driving. The single most effective thing you can do to avoid injury or death in a crash is to wear a seat belt at all times, regardless of seating position.

These mild and creamy chicken enchiladas can be on your table within half an hour, thanks to using rotisserie roasted chicken as a great shortcut. The deliciousness of these enchiladas is all down to a simple yet unctuous sauce, made with sour cream and cheese. What more could you want?
When I made them, I kept thinking that more ingredients would be needed, such as garlic, cumin or lime juice – all things you would associate with Mexican-American food. But the flavours are so lovely and work so well together on their own, that nothing else is needed. Not even a garnish of coriander (cilantro). Some would say that herb has been over-used in recent years. I know I've been guilty!
When making beef enchiladas, I always use a classic red enchilada sauce, but its a nice change to have chicken enchiladas made with this white sour cream sauce. And kids love the mild and creamy taste. The main elements of this dish include some of my three year old's very favourite foods: flour tortillas, cheese and chicken. And my baby went wild for these! This is the perfect food for little teeth-less gums to gnaw on: an interesting texture for him to explore, that is still soft but not a pureed mush.
In America, I would add a jar of mild green chiles to the chicken mixture, but I haven't been able to find those easily in Australia. Pickled jalepenos work very well as an accompaniment, for those who like heat.
- ½ a shredded rotisserie chicken
- 250g / 1 cup lite sour cream
- 1 white onion
- 1 green capsicum (bell pepper)
- 8 large or 12 mini tortillas
- 1 cup grated cheese
- 1.5 cups chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon flour
- olive oil, salt and pepper
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan. Sweat the onion and capsicum until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Take off the heat and add the shredded chicken and half the sour cream and half of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
- Fill each tortilla with the mixture. Keep going until all the filling is gone.
- In the same pan, heat the butter and flour together to make a roux.
- Add ⅓cup of the chicken stock at a time and stir after each ladle to incorporate.
- Add the rest of the sour cream and stir well. Take off the heat.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken enchiladas. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Put under the grill for 10 minutes or until bubbling,crispy at the edges and heated through.
Serve with some pickled jalepenos on the side for those that want some heat.

Our day at Mudchute Farm
Last week we enjoyed a day out at the farm in Mudchute where some of the team built a bird aviary and painted animal enclosures to prepare for the winter weather.
It was a fun day to be had by all. Mudchute farm is always interested in hearing from potential sponsors and volunteers. Funding is always an issue and I am sure with much of its sponsorship coming from city firms it will welcome any extra help it can get over the months to come.

Some time back, my son James, who is all of four years old, announced that he had a pet monster named Billy. Billy, apparently, is a yellow monster with tall hair. He is friendly, and judging from James' descriptions, he is the laziest being on the planet. From time to time he will sit beside James while he is playing or eating, but for the most part, he just sleeps. Sometimes, rather bafflingly, Billy will perch on my head as I go about my day. Occasionally, James will yell at me because I inadvertently walk through or stand on Billy. An apology is always called for: I have to stand there apologizing to an imaginary monster, feeling – and no doubt looking – like a complete idiot.
The existence of Billy is a testament to James' active imagination, and also to his veryu sound verbal skills. This kid is so good at putting his mental pictures into words that I can almost picture Billy perched on the couch next to James watching him eat his spaghetti. James can talk. James does talk. Once James gets going you cannot get him to stop. His thoughts and stories just run out his mouth – very coherently, but sometimes to the point of exhausting his audience, who has to keep track of increasingly complicated storylines.
James and his dad are in a dead heat for the title of "Talker of the family". I tend to be somewhat quieter, and George doesn't really talk at all unless he has to. This is not unusual for a child with autism, but it is something that we are on a permanent quest to change. In today's world, people need the ability to talk – or at least, to communicate. George has become remarkably self-sufficient in many ways: he will go to all kinds of lengths to do something himself in order to avoid asking for it.
It is easy to attribute this speech aversion to autism, but that does not really answer the question of why. Sure, George doesn't talk because of his autism, but why is it that auties have this challenge? In the beginning the answer seemed simple: lack of vocabulary. By the age of three, George only had about thirty words – ten or so of which he was using in their correct contexts, and never more than one word at a time. Almost four years later, the vocabulary has been increasing exponentially. George can label just about everything he sees, and he can correctly identify a number of verbs, adjectives, and emotions. He is able to string together simple sentences now. He uses his alphabetic fridge magnets to construct elaborate, grammatically correct sentences that we have yet to hear spoken. So the vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structure are there. The comprehension is there too, since George will respond appropriately to most things that are said to him.
Another possibility that was presented to us is that auties frequently have a problem with motor planning. What this means is that a kid might have the physical strength and ability to, say, throw a ball, but if he has never thrown a ball before, he will have trouble figuring out what steps he needs to follow in order for the ball to become airborne. There are a lot of fine motor activities involved in speech, and the theory is that auties just cannot figure out how to translate the thoughts into vocalized sound. George, however, can read. He reads out loud from all kinds of materials. He produces the words and they sound correct. Motor planning is clearly not the issue here.
All we're left with, then, is the simple fact that George does not see the point of talking. Speech serves a purely functional purpose for him. He uses it to express a want or a need. He will say that he would like milk, that he wants to go and play in the back yard, or that he would like a hug. He will answer questions. But apart from one or two rare occasions, he will not use speech to initiate a purely social interaction. He will not say things like "I love you" unless it is said to him first.
We are starting to see some promising signs, though. A couple of weeks ago, he asked me, completely off his own bat, if I was OK. When his brother accidentally spilled a cup of milk, George reacted with a genuinely spontaneous "Whooooooops!" While he still uses speech mostly to request things, he is at least starting to request things of a more social nature. He will say, "Let's run!" to indicate that he wants to play a chasing game, or "Horsey!" to indicate that he wants to jump on my back, ride around on me, and pretty much cripple me for the next four days.
I suspect that George will never be much of a talker. I think he will always be quiet and shy – and that's OK – he has to be true to who he is and the rest of us have to respect that. But little by little, we are seeing him emerge for brief moments into our world, and he is allowing us little glimpses into his.

Last year, I started a small experiment in my social group. I simply stopped having "I" conversations. You know, those conversations that look like this
"I went to Spain on holiday"
"I love Spain! When I went, I…"
"I did…"
Each and every sentence is a statement that begins with I. Questions are rarely asked and when they are, its mainly as a segue into telling you more about themselves.
You'll be surprised how many people simply didn't notice. I stopped giving up information about myself unless asked. In fact, that last time I voluntarily shared something special to me the reply was something about being king of the nerds and the very next sentence was about a recent purchase this person made and then about them missing a girl. Yeah…
What really had a profound effect on me was during my trip to Microsoft's Ignite conference. Here are a bunch of geeks, nerds, techies, call them what you will, who all had a love for tech and a love for people, in one way or another. People I just met asked me questions not even "friends" have bothered to ask. Everyone I spoke to was interested in my view, my ideas, my experiences. And when that happens, it becomes super easy to really talk to people you have just met and find out who they really are. A person I just met loved my lip ring and wasn't afraid to tell me. It lead on to a great convo about body modification in the work place and even about the future of embedded computers living in our cells. A simple interaction, where you aren't thinking about what you are getting out, but what you are giving, leaves everyone walking away from the conversation enriched, happier.
Since this 'experiment' kicked off, I have made a conscious effort to have more interesting conversations with those around me. While most of them don't realize and simply fall into the all-about-me, some of them have really responded. Everything from favorite bands and what songs mean to them to life goals, from fear of failing at life to celebrating achievements together, this simple change has allowed me to really get to know people and for those paying attention, really get to know me.
My advice, don't be scared of the big questions when with friends, and never, ever respond to an "I" statement with your own "I" statement. Step away from using people to tell them about how great you are. People pick up on these things more than you realize. And if you want to know something, just ask. It may lead you to your next great conversation.

One of the jobs of a leader is to be a guide - guide teams from formation through operation. For that, he/she also must be a mentor and facilitator. You must understand that learning never ends. We are always building and strengthening our knowledge. As a leader you have to be constantly alert to any opportunity you have to do so.
To be an excellent leader means you have the ability to "read" people. How do people react differently to various situations? The ability to be flexible helps you in dealing with and relating to people. We're not all the same - other people won't want the same type of response that you might.
In John Maxwell's book Developing the Leader Within You, he lists seven "deadly sins" that excellent leaders avoid:
- trying to be liked rather than respected,
- not asking team members for advice and help,
- thwarting personal talent by emphasizing rules rather than skills,
- not keeping criticism constructive,
- not developing a sense of responsibility in team members,
- treating everyone the same way, and
- failing to keep people informed.
Integrity, vision, optimism, responsibility, motivation, and communication. That's what makes a successful leader.
