Beatrix Potter in the Lakes – our partners
There are many organisations in the Lakes who have a connection with Beatrix Potter . Here's a bit more about each of them and what they have on offer.
Belmount Hall
The Belmount Hall estate, owned by Beatrix Potter and bequeathed to the National Trust on her death in 1943, is planning to offer prestige 2 night stays at Belmount Hall with a Beatrix Potter theme. This includes a tour with a Blue Badge guide and hopefully private visits to Beatrix Potter properties. Please contact [email protected] for details.
The National Trust across the Lakes
The National Trust are celebrating this special birthday year with a fun-filled calendar of events, activities and exhibitions right across the Lakes. Beatrix was a remarkable character…writer, illustrator, conservationist, farmer… we've got so much to thank her for in the Lake District, we hope you'll join us in 2016 to be part of the celebrations.

The Lingholm Estate
Sitting on the western shore of Derwentwater, it was the favourite Lakeland holiday home of Beatrix Potter's family. Beatrix made many sketches and paintings of the grounds, woods and animal life and famously wrote the Squirrel Nutkin story there. In June 2016 a new café will open set alongside a walled garden built on the site of the old Kitchen gardens. The Lingholm estate also operates holiday lets and holds a limited number of weddings each year.
Blackwell The Arts & Crafts House, Bowness on Windermere
Laura Ford: Sculpture and Drawings - 11 March - 4 September
Blackwell is a modern historic house, built in 1900, a contemporary of Beatrix Potter's characters. The house and garden hosts internationally acclaimed exhibitions. This year Laura Ford's work sits particularly well in Blackwell's warm, richly-carved Arts & Crafts rooms grounds against the spectacular backdrop of the Coniston fells, where it might appear that Beatrix Potter's much-loved Lakeland characters have fallen on hard times, with a Mrs Tiggy-Winkle-like hedgehog transformed into a bronze bag lady.
Mountain Goat Tours
Mountain Goat are the Lake District's award winning tour operator. Their Beatrix Potter tour, available February to October, is the ideal way to explore the Lakes. Their Cross Lakes Experience Service (525) with Windermere Lake Cruises runs from Bowness Bay to Hill Top Farm, ideal to combine with a visit to The World of Beatrix Potter.

text: After watching several videos trying to fine the dimensions of loop antennas I have a gripe. When making a video I don't need to know the name of your cat, dog or any other non-related info. Long drawn out lengthy explanations reduce interest. Be succinct! When describing construction provide a list, including lengths, diameters and any pertinent info. Then proceed step by step from beginning to end. Sorry if this post wrangles some but felt something needed to be said.

A splash page is used by 48% of photography websites according to a recent poll I conducted with a couple hundred photographers. Not very surprising, right? What surprised me was that few to none of the splash pages I reviewed had any of the essential marketing elements one should provide during a potential client's first impression!
I think of a splash page like a book cover at Borders bookstore. How you should market a book to sell is the same way you should market a website to sell. The cover design (splash page design) including imagery and color makes me pick up the book (or look at the page). The summary on the back (webpage text) tells me if the book is a genre or style that interests me. The review from New York Times (client testimonial) and the Oprah Book Club seal (badges of your affiliations) tells me that the book should be a popular one. The author bio (about you section) inside the dust jacket flap looks interesting… I think I've read other books by the same author. The table of contents (splash page links) let me know what to expect inside. All of these things on a simple book cover you can mimic on a webpage to get potential clients to a purchase decision immediately. Here's my rundown of the 10 best marketing ideas for photography splash pages.
1. Logo/branding
Of course it's essential to use a logo immediately. They may be speed dating photography websites looking at 10 a minute for the perfect photographer. Your logo will deliver a significant first impression about your business. it may take seven of those impressions before a user remembers who you are. Check out Melanie Pittman's logo – she is all about fun and fresh, a breath of fresh air for a visitor who came from a bunch of cookie cutter websites. her logo may only take two impressions to deliver a memorable impact.
2. Links to important web pages
You have a limited amount of real estate to get users where they need to go quickly. If you have one web visitor and they will click one thing, what will it be? Hint: it is not a huge image linking to a full screen version of your site or a big ENTER MOBILE WEBSITE link. I wouldn't even dump people into a big flash site or blog homepage where they have to hunt around for my best work. Link directly to your best web gallery, or best 5 blog posts. Not only do these homepage links help the landing pages rank better in search, but they get potential clients into exactly what you want them to see. Chances are it's the award winning post you wrote last year about a major wedding and not a random recent blog post from last week.
People who look at pricing, testimonial, and contact pages are probably considering you for hire. Make it easier to get people into those pages by linking to them prominently from the splash page.
3. Contact information
If you have a splash page, then you have a Flash site. What happens to users who can't see Flash but want to get in touch with you? You're contact information better be clear on the homepage, especially for return visitors who don't want to hunt around your Flash site for it.
In every consulting call I ask photographers what is the single most important thing a potential client could do after visiting their website? Invariably, they say they want to be contacted to book a session. I agree. In that case, let users know you want them to contact you by making it clear from the moment they arrive at your site. Make it clear for Google as well. One factor in ranking on Google Places is a consistent physical address and phone number across the internet. Start by listing this information on your homepage.
4. About you information
Once a web visitor likes the quality of your photos they move into the purchasing cycle. The first thing anyone wants to know when paying for a service is who will they be hiring? Especially in the photography space where photos have an emotional consideration. If someone is going to photograph my family, or spend the most important day of my life with me (my wedding day), then I want to know that person beforehand. A simple face shot and bio delivers this essential information instantly. A homepage without an about section is like a book with no author information – everyone wants to know!
You should also use your bio to influence the types of projects you will receive. If you're looking to get high end clientele, then the bio should be "esteemed" and professional. A pet photographer might have a photo of you and your dog, with a bio that talks about the types of dogs you like. People will hire other people that look and act like themselves, it's human nature. Use this to your advantage by explaining yourself well.
Liz Bradley does this well. She doesn't have a splash page, but you can see how her "About" material says a ton about her style and personality. Dane Sanders tells about himself in video. Think about how you can represent your face on the homepage and let customers get to know you. They will more likely hire someone they know than a business.
5. A handful of your greatest images
If a friend asks for samples of your work so she can refer a friend, would you email her just one image? No way. There's little chance one image tells enough about you or represents all the styles you can achieve. Most photography homepages have a bounce rate of 25% or more, meaning one-forth of people on the page don't click into the site – they look at the homepage then leave. Show these users more examples of your work with an embedded slideshow on your splash page, thumbnail gallery, or a minimum of quality images that represent each of your major websites (flash, blog, etc). Images are the most important piece of content to generate new business, so don't limit your most viewed page to a single image.
Homepage photos should showcase the type of work you want to achieve, not the work you've done in the past. Don't show a baby photo is your goal is to book more weddings. Doing so will turn away all the brides who may hire you. If you've never shot a wedding but are trying to break into the market, you may have to do one free or at a discount to get some great shots to add to the homepage.
6. Testimonials or awards/media/press
Do Oprah's Book Club books sell because they're great books, or because she told you to buy it? I think it is a vicious circle. The point is people buy what others tell them to buy. here are different ways to showcase what others think about you, reinforcing to users that you provide trusted, quality services:
- Testimonials
- Awards, honors
- Press
- Media mentions
- Partners
- Affiliations, memberships
I like how JONETSU Studios put badges on top of the splash page images.
7. HTML text for findability in search engines
According to Scribe SEO (a great WordPress tool that I'm an affiliate for) and other reputable sources, Google wants 300+ words of HTML text on a page to have confidence to rank the page for its searchers. After all, if there are 2 pages about wedding photography, one with 10 words, and one with 300 words, which do you think the searcher would rather see? The one with a decent amount of content.
Summary of 10 Best Photography Splash Page Marketing Ideas
When your photography splash page tells users who you are, what you do, why they should hire you, and how to get in contact with you, potential clients are much more likely to pick up the phone and book a session. Photos, testimonials, and links to your best work are some of the most important things to get users quick information.

This blog post is in response to Natalie's 10 Day Freedom Plan Blog Challenge Day 2
The day 2 challenge really got me thinking. Natalie had us listen to a podcast interview she did with David Mead who asked two questions to help pinpoint why I do whatever I do:
- at my very best, what has been my contribution to the world?
- how did that contribution impact those around me?
Those aren't quotes. That's just how I understand the concepts. The podcast is about 40 minutes long and is an excellent listen if you want to delve into this yourself. Here's me thinking out loud (?) about the questions.
Some of my best moments are when I'm challenging my perceived limits. I love playing the piano with two fingers. I love how I type with three fingers of each hand. I love riding a bike and driving my car. I love wearing shorts in the winter. I love making people laugh and seeing them change as they relax about my disability. I love showing them that if I can do it, they could too. I love that all my great accomplishments have been achieved by just trying the thing and then doing the thing.
What I find after the fact is that many people are inspired. They really do see themselves doing something they thought they couldn't do. I in turn am inspired as they push their own limits and do amazing things and become amazing people. I tell everyone again and again to just do what they love. That they can create their own selves any way they want.
So this isn't quite final. I'm surely going to play with it more, but:
I get up each morning to constantly challenge myself and others so that we can all experience the very real freedom we each have to be and do the great things we dream of.

I've talked with the Haitian advisor for our trip and they did assure me that I COULD take a few items of clothing...but, we'll be able to purchase items once there as well. The flight that we'll be on will be tight. I can also mail boxes ahead of my arrival (which is something I think I'll do).
We also held a clothing drive at my High School and those will items collected will be distributed among the needy children on this trip as well as with others flying to Haiti this summer to serve.
NO ONE will come empty handed...and my heart is full.
Thank you.

Hey there! My name is Samuel Monard and some of you here may know me from the TMDHosting Technical Support Team :) Today I am joining my colleagues Morgan Collins and Brandon Fiery in their exciting journey around the world of web hosting which we will be describing in our new series called Tech Wednesday.

Step 2. CREATING YOUR WEBSITE.
This is the easiest step in the process even though it may sound difficult. For your convenience, TMD Hosting provides you with one magical tool called Softaculous. Softaculous is a script library that automates the installation of commercial and free, open source web applications. Softaculous is an amazing tool with which you can install any of the applications we mentioned above and/or hundreds of other similar applications which you might find suitable for your needs.

Once you enter the Softaculous auto installer application you are one step closer to your website. Here are the steps that you have to follow:
Install Step 1. Select your desired application. For example, lets say you want to install WordPress on your account, click on the WordPress install button.
Install Step 2. Configure your application installation – make sure you're installing it in the correct folder and click the install button at the bottom of the page to begin the installation process.
Install Step 3. In just a few seconds your installation should be completed. Congratulations! You just have successfully installed your website all by yourself. Now you will be able to login into your website with the desired login details and proceed with the creation of your website content.
Step 3. CUSTOMIZING YOUR NEWLY CREATED WEBSITE.
This is the last step where you can customize your website to your needs. Here are some of the things that you might want to install:
Extensions: The extensions can basically add additional features to your website. For example, you can add custom Contact Us form in your WordPress website or LiveChat extension for your online store to engage your visitors into conversations.
Here are some links to the extensions directories for the above-mentioned applications:
WordPress – http://wordpress.org/plugins/

Naughty children have a good reason they are naughty.
It's because of the monkey in their tummy,
deep down beyond the heart, and past the lungs.
In a chair, deep inside the dark tummy, sits a very naughty monkey.
Controlling the child, making them do all manner of things.
Giggling, farting, being selfish, being lazy.
It can't be the child doing all these naughty things….can it?
In `There's monkey in my tummy`, we meet a little child who says exactly this.
This is why they stay in bed.
This is why they giggle in school.
This is why they don't share their toys.
This is why they eat sweets and candy and cake… it's the monkey doing it all….
but I don't think mum and dad believe this!
There's a monkey in my tummy is available on Amazon in colourful wonderful cutesy lovely paperback and e-book, please click here for Amazon US.

How to Prevent Random Acts of Video Creation
If you've been a marketer for very long, you've probably experienced that moment when you realize your campaign (video or otherwise) doesn't seem to fit with any other aspects of your brand narrative. I stress brand narrative here. This isn't about the incorporation of your tagline, branded bumpers, company typeface or the color palette. No, I'm referring to content that doesn't fit into any real narrative at all. And frankly, I'm talking about most of the branded content out there.
Narrative marketing themes aren't just for ad campaigns. They can and should guide larger, more complex content marketing campaigns. The ultimate goal of a brand narrative is to align the big idea behind your video and content strategy to your brand. It's the central chassis you should be able to plug all of your campaign ideas into.
One of my favorite definitions of brand is "the sum of what the market thinks about your business." As you work to create more exciting, effective, on-brand content, make sure the market doesn't think that your business has multiple personality disorder. Ideally, this type of creative planning is done in tandem with your annual marketing plan. For many marketers, that time is right now.
So, let's take a look at why so many marketers struggle to develop a big idea that can guide all of their various content campaigns. During my own work with hundreds of enterprise (and midsize) B2B brands over the last decade, a few challenges have been commonly cited:
- "We're too big."
In enterprise brands, size is the challenge. With scale comes siloed marketing departments: brand marketing, acquisition (demand gen) marketing, channel marketing, product marketing and customer marketing. Then there are different business units – each with many of these same marketing functions. And to top it off, global companies often use regional teams that operate with a surprising level of autonomy.Organization complexity leads many enterprises to a common conclusion: the cultural nuances of different geographies and the variety of marketing goals across teams are just too hard to direct from central leadership. Instead, they opt to leave the various teams and geographies to operate from a common set of branding guidelines. My experience with these teams is that they're looking for a little more. This is where a brand narrative can provide a common theme to steer strategic planning.
- "Isn't this a brand thing?"
You might think this type of direction should come from the brand team. But many of the largest brand agencies in the world tend to bring an outdated approach to this type of planning. Namely, they focus nearly all of their energy on how to talk about the company. More relevant is how and why their customers buy – and what's important to them. The best campaigns and content focus on helping and connecting with customers, not patting your brand on the back.
- "We'll nail down the story later."
For small- to medium-sized businesses, video is often a one-off. When the annual marketing plans are drafted up for the year, creative strategy isn't typically the focus. Most SMB organizations begin with business goals that quickly branch down to discrete budgets for events and other marketing table stakes. Maybe there's a content budget for the year – but rarely is there a cohesive creative vision to accompany all of these things. Again, whose job is that? In a world increasingly obsessed with marketing tech, automation and attribution, business executives are beginning to overlook the intangible aspects of marketing planning.
What does an integrated strategy look like?
In the agency world, we're often helping our clients to make their solutions "easy to sell" and "easy to buy." When it comes to developing your brand narrative, the purpose is to make your story "easy to tell." In other words, a killer integrated creative strategy will allow you to connect all of your content and campaigns into a simple, central idea.
Here's a great example of a campaign that launched during the last month for Gusto, a software startup that's helping HR directors with all the crazy things they do.
The central idea for the campaign: HR people do nearly everything. Gusto understands that and creates software for those people. This simple idea takes their video strategy into lots of different angles to show all the different things that HR people do. Notice that these videos are about the audience – not Gusto. They're designed to make an emotional connection with the audience by laughing along with them at the crazy things they deal with every day.
Tips for avoiding random acts of video creation
- Step up and lead
Who should own integrated video strategy and theme development? It could be the brand team. Or, it could be anyone in the marketing organization with a vision. If you have an agency, turn to them. If not, it could be you. Change agents and creative leaders come from everywhere. I've seen modern marketers from all stripes lead sophisticated creative strategies for their organizations.
- Don't get overly prescriptive with your video branding guidelines or your marketing themes.
When you're documenting brand guidance for larger teams, avoid overly prescriptive video guidelines. Instead, focus on central themes, personality, and tonal direction. The same goes for thematic planning; keep it simple enough that you can take it in a few different directions.There's nothing wrong with variety across your branded video. On the contrary, it's necessary when you look at all of the roles that marketing content has to serve. From exciting awareness content to product demos and customer testimonials, your creative strategy has to be flexible.
- Evolve your ideas with your business
If you have an agency, have them put together a theme proposal for the year. During quarterly business reviews, check back to review the central ideas. If they've shifted, update them. Today's economy is highly agile – so reserve the right to adapt your marketing strategies and themes as well.

The whole point of meal prep is to reduce the amount of time spent preparing food while creating healthy alternatives to the modern food cycles. However, this would be futile if the food was not stored properly.
We all know the basics of not leaving food out and whatnot but meal prep contains foods that are easily perishable and others that can stay for a while. It is critical that you know exactly how to store the food properly. Generally, cooked meals can last up to four days if well stored.
I thought it would be better to write something to give you a few tips on how to properly store your prepped food. There are several checkpoints when it comes to storage.

System to Launch April 1
LAS VEGAS (January 2016) – Your next tour of The Mob Museum, the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement, could be via a robotic device you control from the comfort and privacy of your own home. Beginning Monday, April 1, "Moe-Bot," a BeamPro telepresence robot created by Suitable Technologies, will enable Museum guests to "visit" the Museum via their computer screen or mobile device and direct their Museum experience almost as personally as if they were physically there.
Introduced as a way to expand the Museum's audience reach to include anyone who cannot visit the Museum in person, Moe-Bot will be used to enable visitors to participate in live, immersive, interactive, guided tours of the museum by a computer from virtually anywhere in the world.
"This system is not only technologically impressive, but also will give members of our community who cannot visit the Museum—even visitors across the globe—a high-quality, engaging Museum experience they otherwise couldn't have enjoyed," explains Ashley Misko, director of marketing and public relations, The Mob Museum. "Best of all, the system is incredibly easy to use."
Once a user logs onto the system, his or her face appears on Moe-Bot's screen, which is mounted on a mobile stand whose movement the user controls. In this way, the visitor gives the impression of being physically inside the Museum. A Museum guide accompanies the Moe-Bot visitor to answer any questions, point out must-see displays and ensure each tour experience is interactive and personalized. In the case of school groups using Moe-Bot, the teacher can control the device while its video feed is projected for his or her class to watch.
For more information or to register for a Moe-Bot guided tour of The Mob Museum, go to https://themobmuseum.org/plan-your-visit/moe-bot/ or call (702) 229-2734.
The Mob Museum, the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, is a world-class destination in downtown Las Vegas dedicated to the thrilling story of organized crime and law enforcement. The Museum presents unbelievable stories about the Mob, its impact on Las Vegas history and unique imprint on the world. True stories of Mob history are brought to life in an eye-opening style via interactive exhibits, high-tech theater presentations and nearly 1,000 authentic artifacts, the largest collection of Mob and law enforcement memorabilia under one roof. Since opening in 2012, The Mob Museum has accumulated numerous accolades, including being named one of the "Best Places to Travel in 2015" by Travel + Leisure Magazine, "A Must for Travelers" by The New York Times, one of "20 Places Every American Should See" by Fox News and Budget Travel magazine, "9 Reasons to Visit Las Vegas" by CNNgo, a finalist for the "Best Wider World Project Award," by the British Guild of Travel Writers and "Best Museum" by Nevada Magazine. Admission is $23.95 for adults ages 18 and over with special pricing for online purchase, children, seniors, military, law enforcement, Nevada residents, and teachers. The Museum is open daily; visit the website for up-to-date operating hours. For more information, call (702) 229-2734 or visit www.TheMobMuseum.org.

The aborted Capitol Hill debate on military action against Syria put President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner in a rare place — on the same side. But each found himself sharply at odds with lawmakers of his own party.
As Washington turns its attention to critical domestic issues this week, the turbulent political environment facing the nation's leaders was put in sharp relief Sunday when opposition by Democratic lawmakers cost Obama his preferred candidate for chairman of the Federal Reserve, former economic adviser Lawrence H. Summers.
Summers's forced withdrawal — an unprecedented insult to the president by members of his own party — was just the latest reminder of how both Obama and Boehner are facing questions about the strength of their leadership and whether they can avert a government shutdown or debt default that could significantly harm the economy.
Although a surprise Russian diplomatic proposal — to place Syria's chemical weapons under international control — has reduced the urgency for a congressional vote authorizing military action, lawmakers say the leaders remain hampered by sharp partisan divisions and intraparty conflicts.
"It's almost as though it was the end of traditional power," Rep. James P. Moran (D-Va.), a fierce Obama supporter, said of rank-and-file resistance to the president and the speaker. "I've been here for 20 years, and I've never seen so much of a repudiation of the conventional sources of power in the legislative or executive branch."
"It portends for a much more chaotic fall," he said.
The most pressing issue is forging an agreement to keep the government open past Sept. 30, when a funding measure expires. Boehner (R-Ohio) is struggling to gain the support of enough Republicans to endorse his budget strategy, the latest sign of the speaker's weakened hold over his conference.
The results of that effort will have implications for a more important challenge next month, when Congress must raise the federal debt ceiling or risk an unprecedented default by the federal government.
But Obama, whose position on Syria was all but certain to be rejected, has problems within his own party. On the domestic front, some House Democrats are questioning his decision not to take a harder line in the upcoming debate against the deep spending cuts known as sequestration.
With declining public support, the president also must fend off GOP attacks on his signature health-care law, the Affordable Care Act, as his administration prepares to launch a centerpiece of the effort, online insurance marketplaces, in just two weeks.
In a series of events, beginning Monday morning with a Rose Garden speech, Obama will pivot from Syria to pressing for a deal to keep the government open and raise the debt ceiling. Analysts say the government might run out of money to pay all bills as soon as Oct. 18.
But as the president makes a public push, Boehner and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) will be working their own members to generate support for a bill keeping the government open. Polls show that Americans will resoundingly blame the GOP if the government shuts down Oct. 1.
A solution has proved elusive. Last week, Boehner and Cantor advanced a plan that would have kept the government open through mid-December while allowing rank-and-file Republicans to cast a symbolic vote against Obama's health-care law.
Conservative Republicans, however, said the strategy was an obvious trick that would neither slow implementation of the law nor reduce government spending. The intensity of the opposition forced the GOP leaders to put off a vote.
"Leadership brought out a plan they thought would work, and some members kind of said no," said Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho), a Boehner ally. "So it's kind of like sending leaders back to the drawing board and telling them, 'Think again.' "
It was not the first time rank-and-file Republicans have rejected Boehner's approach to legislating. Boehner, with 233 Republicans in his majority caucus, can afford fewer than 20 defections from his own ranks without being forced to seek Democratic votes if he wants to pass important legislation. Yet on seven key votes this year, a bloc of nearly 50 conservatives has opposed his position a majority of the time.
This time may prove the hardest. Democrats say they are absolutely against the main Republican demands: a delay or defunding of the health-care law, and further cuts to domestic spending.
Although GOP leaders say they may be able to get just enough votes to get through the Sept. 30 deadline without a shutdown, they do not yet see a way to find agreement to raise the debt ceiling. Obama says he will not negotiate on the debt limit, and some members expect this time will be worse than previous clashes.
"It's Groundhog Day in the House, but it's Groundhog Day coming up on default and shutdown," said Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.). "The House is dysfunctional. The question is whether in the next couple of weeks it will actually disintegrate."
While the divisions among the Republicans run deeper and are more acrimonious, several key Democrats have significant concerns about the White House's approach to this fall's budget strategy.
Aides say Obama is open to a short-term budget agreement that would keep sequestration in place. The position has outraged some Democratic lawmakers who say that the spending cuts are undermining key programs and that Democrats must take a hard line against them.
"I don't agree with the White House. I think the White House is making a mistake, and I've told them so," said the No. 2 House Democrat, Rep. Steny H. Hoyer (Md.). "They're going to lock in that number."
Hoyer said he is pushing House Democrats to demand a spending bill that scales back the automatic across-the-board cuts.
"I'm advising my members that it is time for us to take a stand," he said. "Every time we've voted in a compromise with Republicans, we have made the economic picture of our country worse and we've undermined the growth of jobs and the economy."
Other lawmakers are supportive of the White House, noting that defense spending is in line for a deeper cut under the sequestration deal than domestic agencies, putting pressure on Republicans to find a way to soften the spending reductions.
Summers's decision to withdraw Sunday as a candidate for the Fed post is the clearest example of Obama's struggle to maintain support of his own caucus. In recent days, liberal Democrats had erupted in opposition to Summers after a summer making a case against the man Obama was openly defending and privately hoping to nominate.
An open question going into these domestic debates is how much the president's back-and-forth in recent weeks over whether to strike Syria has weakened him. On Sunday, Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, questioned the president's leadership ability.
"The Syria plan has been confusing at best over the last two years," he said on CNN's "State of the Union." "Last week, it was more confusing to the American people and more confusing to members of Congress about our national security interests. The president couldn't quite close that deal."
Obama, in an interview with ABC's "This Week" broadcast Sunday, defended his approach. While acknowledging that it has been uneven, he said it has produced the right results, forcing the Syrian regime to agree to turn over its chemical weapons.
"Folks here in Washington like to grade on style. And so had we rolled out something that was very smooth and disciplined and linear they would have graded it well, even if it was a disastrous policy," Obama said. ". . . I'm less concerned about style points. I'm much more concerned about getting the policy right."

Obama to take US economy away from outsourcing
"No, we will not go back to an economy weakened by outsourcing, bad debt and phony financial profits," Obama said in his State of the Union address to the Congress. The US President emphasised that the blueprint has been built to last an economy built on American manufacturing, American energy, skills for American workers, and a renewal of American values.
Obama, in his speech, reminded his countrymen why the US is the leader of the world.
"Think about the America within our reach: A country that leads the world in educating its people. An America that attracts a new generation of high-tech manufacturing and high-paying jobs," the US President said.
"A future where we are in control of our own energy, and our security and prosperity aren`t so tied to unstable parts of the world. An economy built to last, where hard work pays off, and responsibility is rewarded," Obama said.
The defining issue of this time is how to keep that promise alive, Obama said adding that no challenge is more urgent. "No debate is more important. We can either settle for a country where a shrinking number of people do really well, while a growing number of Americans barely get by," he said.
The President said that we can restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules. "What`s at stake are not Democratic values or Republican values, but American values. We have to reclaim them," the US President said.
Obama said as long as he was the President, he would work with anyone in the Congress to build on this momentum. "But I intend to fight obstruction with action, and I will oppose any effort to return to the very same policies that brought on this economic crisis in the first place," he said.
"Let`s never forget: Millions of Americans who work hard and play by the rules every day deserve a government and a financial system that do the same," Obama said. "It`s time to apply the same rules from top to bottom: No bailouts, no handouts, and no copouts. An America built to last insists on responsibility from everybody," he said.


text: BUSINESS YouTube to Partner up with creators 4:00 AM PST 12/11/2007 by Alex Woodson , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Empty NEW YORK -- Google's YouTube said Monday that it is expanding its Partners Program, a project that lets users who upload videos to the site share in revenue created from their content.YouTube started the project in May but, initially, the only way to gain entrance was from an invite from the video-sharing site. Google, though, has opened the program and now any content creator in the U.S. or Canada can apply to monetize their videos.A Google spokeswoman declined to say how many users originally were in the Partner Program or how many would be added to the expanded versions. She noted, though, that the size of the program has doubled since May and the number of monetized videos has grown by 10 times its original size.New partners would be judged on "popularity of the user's videos, number of subscribers, the user's involvement with the YouTube community and the user's track record of compliance with the YouTube terms of service," the spokeswoman said. The program is intended for users "who regularly produce videos intended for viewing by a wide audience rather than those who upload personal videos to share with friends," she said. More than 100 users have since been added to the new program, including Tay Zonday of "Chocolate Rain" fame, and several hundred more could be added in the coming months. Videos on YouTube are monetized through semi-transparent overlay ads and banner ads. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Alex Woodson firstname.lastname@example.com @thr AP email@example.com @thr

They say that a picture paints a thousand words, and this is never truer than with aerial photography. Nothing allows the viewer to understand a landscape and the various features set within it, than a bird's eye view.
As part of their regular programme of aerial reconnaissance, Historic England has been photographing parks, gardens and landscapes associated with Lancelot 'Capability' Brown for many years. More recently, they have been targeting sites in the lead up to the 300th anniversary of his birth. They have taken thousands of photographs of the main buildings, structures and landscape features within his parks, as well as more general views.
7,000 of these images are now available to the public via an interactive web-based map covering the most important of his landscapes within England. The map pulls together images of over 100 of Brown's most significant parks, gardens and landscapes in England.
The vast majority of these sites have been given protection and are listed on the National Heritage List for England as Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest. For each of these sites, there is a link to the list entry that gives details of the site and the various elements within it that make it special. For those few parks not currently included on the register there is a link to the relevant entry on the Parks and Gardens UK database.
Within each landscape there are a series of dots marking the location of the centre of the image taken of the site. Clicking on the dot brings up a small pop-up with details of when the image was taken together with a thumbnail of the image itself. Clicking on the image brings up a link to the actual image which is available to use. Should you require a larger image there is also a link in the pop-up to the Historic England Archive where you can order one.
Historic England hope that this will prove to be a valuable resource to researchers into the work of the great man.
They will be adding more images to the map in the next few months.
The photographs shown form part of the Historic England Archive - over 12 million items relating to the architecture, archaeology and social history of England.

BROCKTON, Mass. ---- The Massasoit men's basketball team will get another crack at the Bunker Hill Bulldogs this season, as the two squads will face for the fourth time in 2017-18 and the second time in as many weekends. The two teams will meet in the NJCAA Region 21 Tournament Semifinals on Saturday at 6 PM, hosted by Bunker Hill.
Tournament Schedule
Saturday, March 3 – Semifinals
G1: (1) Bristol vs (4) Northern Essex – 4 PM
G2: (2) Massasoit vs (3) Bunker Hill – 6 PM
Sunday, March 4 – Finals
G3: G1 Winner vs G2 Winner – 2 PM
Massasoit boasts a record of 18-6 (18-5 R21) on the season and in search of its first Region 21 Championship since the 2010-11 season. Two seasons ago, the Warriors transitioned into the NJCAA Division III, having made the postseason both years.
The Warriors put together two impressive winning streaks during the 2017-18 campaign, posting a 7-game streak in the first semester, followed by a 9-game streak that was halted by Bunker Hill in the MCCAC Semifinals last Saturday.
The Massasoit defense will be key against Bunker Hill, as the Warriors have allowed only 67 points per game and rank first in the conference in opponents' field goal (37.8) an 3-point (29.2) percentages.
Offensively, Rael Handy tops the team in scoring (18.7), followed by Mark Georges (15.7), Mark Munroe (12.1) and Rollsky Edouard (11.6).
Munroe pulls down 11.2 boards per game, Handy averages 5.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists and Georges tallies 2.3 steals per contest for the season.
The Bulldogs (20-11, 17-6 R21) advanced to the Region 21 Semifinals after defeating Springfield Tech 64-51 in the a tournament play-in game on Wednesday night.
BHCC topped the Warriors last weekend, 72-65, before narrowly falling in the MCCAC Finals to Bristol 67-66 in Springfield.
Another team that prides itself on defense, Bunker Hill allows a league-low 66.4 points per game, and has held opponents under 70 points in eight of its last nine games.
Jamaurie Coakley tops the Bulldogs in scoring (18.1) and eight additional players average between 4.6 and 9.5 points per game for BHCC. After only scoring four points in the first meeting, Coakley is averaging 22.5 ppg against the Warriors over the last two matchups.
Saturday marks the fourth postseason matchup in the last two seasons between the Warriors and Bulldogs, with BHCC winning the previous three meetings.
In 2016-17 both teams met in the MCCAC and Region 21 Semifinals, with the Bulldogs prevailing both times. The regional tourney loss came at Massasoit, 71-60, ending the season for the Warriors.
This season, Massasoit and Bunker Hill split their regular season two-game series, with each team winning on its own court before BHCC claimed the MCCAC semifinal contest last Saturday.

It is a strange coincidence that two new vessels, one in Detroit and the other in Cleveland launched on the same day, Saturday last, should bear the same name.
The side-wheel passenger steamer PENNSYLVANIA, launched at the Wyandotte yard of the Detroit Dry Dock Co. is to open up a new service about June 1 between Erie and Buffalo. Her runs will be of the daylight excursion kind. She will be a neat, speedy vessel, well suited to the short runs on which she will be engaged Her dimensions are 225 feet length 32 feet beam on deck. 55 feet over guards and 12 feet depth. This vessel will be owned by the Erie & Buffalo Steamboat Co., the officers of which, are: 1 Louis Streuber. Erie, president: Eugene McCall Detroit vice president: Ed Heuer, Erie secretary, and William McFall, Detroit, treasurer and purser.
The Marine Review
March 2, 1899
Buffalo, March 30 - Capt. Frank D. Welcome has been made the master of the new side-wheel steamer PENNSYLVANIA, which is to run between Buffalo and Erie this season.
The Marine Review
March 30, 1899
Detroit, Mich., May 24. - On Monday next the Detroit Ship Building Co. will deliver in Erie the side-wheel passenger steamer PENNSYLVANIA, a day boat similar to the FRANK E. KIRBY, owned by Ashley & Dustin, of Detroit, and which is well known on account of the fast run she makes each day during the excursion season between Detroit and Put-in-Bay. The PENNSYLVANIA will not be a 15- mile boat said to run 20 miles an hour. She will in reality be a 20-mile boat and can attain that speed whenever it is required of her. She will leave here Sunday, going by way of the islands and Sandusky, and will give an excursion out of Erie Monday evening. On the short run between Erie and Buffalo it will probably not be necessary to put this vessel on a schedule of more than about 18 miles an hour. She will maintain that speed with ease. Erie will have reason to be proud of her. She will be as fast as either the CITY OF BUFFALO or CITY OF ERIE and will be by no means a small boat. Her license from the government inspectors will provide for about 1,200 excursionists. As her run calls for no night passages, space is not given up to staterooms, and with plenty of open deck and cabin room she will, therefore, accommodate a very large number of excursionists.
Mr. E. McFall, of Sandusky, manager of the Toledo & Island Steamboat Co., organized the company that owns this vessel, and has looked after everything pertaining to her construction. As he has spent his whole life on vessels of this kind he knew what was wanted for the Erie-Buffalo service, hut he has gone further than to furnish a fast, substantial craft. He has exercised rare good taste in finishing the vessel She is altogether a handsome craft without the slightest indication anywhere of an effort to save money in her construction.
The PENNSYLVANIA is of steel, of the side-wheel type and of the following dimensions: Length, 214 feet, beam, molded, 32 feet; depth, 12 feet. The paddle-wheels are 23 feet in diameter and are each fitted with nine feathering buckets of 9 by 4 feet surface dimensions. The engine, which is of the beam type, has a cylinder of 48 inches bore and feet stroke, and is supplied with steam from two Scotch boilers, each 13 feet 2 inches diameter by 11 feet 6 inches long. The boilers are fitted with Howden hot draft appliances. This machinery is expected to develop about 800 horse power and as the vessel is fine- lined and will stand well up out of the water she will certainly be very fast. Everything in the way of auxiliary machinery is entirely modern. The electric light plant is of 400 16-candle-power-lights capacity.
Entering this vessel aft on the main deck the passenger finds the usual arrangement of vestibule, clerk's office, check room, etc. Just aft of this, on either side of an entrance to the dining room on the lower deck, are rooms for some of the officers and for the accommodation of lady passengers. The dining room is handsomely fitted in white and gold, with accommodations for about fifty, and just forward of it is a galley with swinging door connections and provided with everything in the way of cooking utensils that would be found on the largest of the passenger steamers. Leading up from the vestibule, or main entrance to the upper deck is a broad stairway, with a casing of unusually fine workmanship, and a large mirror just in front of the upper landing. This upper deck is given up almost entirely to the main saloon, finished in mahogany and very nicely decorated. Here are the general accommodations for passengers, with entrances to the open deck spaces in bow and stern. There are some ten or twelve state rooms, well furnished, but these will probably not be used very much except in cases of sickness or during very unfavorable weather. The cafe or bar, finished in antique oak and one of the neatest parts of the ship, is well up in the bow, below the passenger deck, and removed entirely from the main cabin.
In this vessel are embodied improvements in plumbing and ventilating appliances that will make her the peer of any ship afloat from a sanitary standpoint. The entire system of plumbing is the best ever put into a vessel on the great lakes. Kenney flushometers are used throughout the closets. The adoption of this device is in itself a very marked advance in ship plumbing. It will undoubtedly he used on all new vessels when its advantages are fully understood. Improvements made in the McCreery ventilating system which is also applied to PENNSYLVANIA, will do away entirely with objections regarding impure air in the dining room or in other parts below deck. The new steamer will be commanded by Capt. Harry Tyrie, formerly on the steamer Metropolis, running between Toledo and Put-in-Bay. Joseph Wells is chief engineer and W. H. McFall, Jr., clerk.

A Melbourne nurse who married a convicted killer serving a 63-year sentence in an American jail is now campaigning to have him released.
Danielle Laskie, 47, met former US marine, Tim Wright, 30, two years ago through a prison penpal program.
Now Ms Laskie has spoken to 60 Minutes about the unconventional relationship, saying she won't stop fighting to have him freed.
Wright was convicted of first-degree murder in 2008, when he was 22, for the drive-by shooting of Justin Baumgardner and now has no more avenues for parole. Prosecutors said Wright shot the victim in a rage over a girl they were both allegedly dating. But Wright has long denied this version of events and maintains his innocence.
When the pair started exchanging letters, Ms Laskie said she quickly fell for the convicted criminal.
'He is probably one of the most kindest, gentlest people that I've ever known,' she said.
'I felt I knew everything about him.'
So when he proposed over the phone before they'd even met in person, Ms Laskie didn't hesitate in saying yes.
She then flew to Virginia, USA, to marry Wright in the prison visiting room. She now spends most of her time looking for new avenues to appeal her husband's conviction.
Ms Laskie is adament her husband is innocent and that their relationship can stand the test of time.
'I just know. Absolutely know,' she said.
'I think if our relationship can survive now, it can survive anything.'

Croatian's war crime Vlatko Jarak
Autor: BIRN
Objavljeno: 30. Dec 2010. 11:12:24
The State Prosecution has raised an indictment against Vlatko Jarak, in which he is charged with forced transfer and unlawful detention of Bosniaks in Stolac. The indictment was forwarded to the State Court to be confirmed.
Jarak is charged with taking part in crimes as a member of the First brigade of the Croat Defense Council (HVO) "Knez Domagoj" in July and August 1993.
The BiH Prosecution charges Jarak of ordering two members of HVO in July 1993 to tie the hands of three Bosniak civilians with barbed wire, after which they took them to the Kostana hospital in Stolac.
According to the indictment, unlawfully detained Bosniak civilians from Stolac were held in this hospital, after which they were taken to the Gabela camp near Capljina.
"The indictment charges the indictee of taking part in the forced transfer of Bosniak population to Blagaj on August 3rd and 4th in 1993, by removing civilians from their homes and transferring them to the High school center and TGA factory in Stolac", states the BiH Prosecution.
The detained civilians, according to the indictment, were held all day in the sun without water and food; they were stripped of gold and other valuables, and the men were separated and taken to an unknown location, while women and children were taken to Blagaj.
Vlatko Jarak, who is also known as Doctor, is charged of having visited the home of a Bosniak family, where he intimidated them, and because of these threats, a female person from the family committed suicide.
According to information from the BiH prosecution, Jarak currently resides in Stolac and is defending himself while at liberty.
