Slingshot SEO co-founder Aaron Aders tells how one job candidate used SEO and social media marketing on LinkedIn to land his dream job with the company.
It's that time of the year when unemployed new graduates begin to feel the anxiety and pressure of the job search, which is more competitive than ever. This process may be difficult and frustrating to some, but others are engaging in new and bold strategies every day to get that extra step up needed to land a position and start a career. At Slingshot SEO, we were lucky enough to find such a candidate.
Robert Williams, an adventure racer and new SEO Consultant at Slingshot SEO, was recently one of the many on the job hunt. In the fall of 2010, he was a public relations and marketing graduate from Butler University looking to start his career.
Williams made ends meet working as a Web consultant for a small business that was essentially a one-man operation. Part of the job was to provide SEO services, which he soon realized took more time and resources than one consultant could provide. Williams recalls, "I told my boss that he needed to hire a real SEO company to get the results he was looking for, and that's when I discovered Slingshot SEO."
After examining the Slingshot SEO website, Williams knew that this was the challenge he'd been searching for in his professional career. He applied through the website and unfortunately didn't receive any response. Williams remained determined and drew on his experiences during adventure racing.
"In that sport, you know there's going to be pain and suffering, but you know that you'll overcome those mental barriers and eventually cross that finish line," Williams says.
Williams assumed at the time (and he was 100 percent correct) that Slingshot SEO was using a corporate recruiter to find the best candidates on the market. "I looked at my LinkedIn profile and realized that it wasn't very relevant to SEO or social media marketing," Williams says. Using his Web marketing skills, he added keywords and phrases within the SEO and social media space that were relevant to his former job experience and education. Just three days later, Williams received a call from a Slingshot SEO recruiter and landed an interview for the same entry-level position that he had applied for on the website.
That position happened to be in my division at Slingshot SEO, and his interview will always stand out in my memory. I was highly impressed with his ingenuity and drive to land a position at our company. However, it was the story about how he had optimized his profile to be found by our company recruiter that impressed me the most.
My advice to recent graduates reading this column is to make yourself stand out and be relevant.
Social media platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter and even Facebook have made this easier in recent years. Don't just polish your résumé for the position you want.
Make sure you engage professionally in social media to increase your relevance and achieve your dream career.
You can guarantee that recruiters and managers will search social media platforms, and even search your name on the Web, prior to an interview. So be sure to make this your time to shine!

Hacking For Solutions
This week GlobalHack announced the theme of its very first civic hackathon, set to take place Sept. 11-13. While the hackathons usually focus on solving technology-based problems for companies, GlobalHack V will bring teams together with the Civic Tech for Social Impact Collaborative—which includes St. Louis County, Rise Community Development and OpenDataSTL—to create technology solutions that make it easier to navigate the criminal justice system and resolve issues faster.
"Data and technology are powerful tools that, when applied to civic challenges, can make St. Louis neighborhoods work better for residents as well as inform and complement community development activities. We are excited to work with GlobalHack as they focus their expertise on the challenge of creating a more resident-focused justice system," says Eleanor Tutt with Rise Community Development.
And GlobalHack hopes to expand the resulting solutions to the national level. Executive Director Matt Menietti says, "We intend for these projects to impact communities beyond St. Louis. It's an opportunity to use St. Louis a model for other cities."
State of St. Louis Workforce 2015 report, published by St. Louis Community College and Workforce Solutions Group, was released this week.

If you want to learn how to craft a successful crowdfunding project on Kickstarter, it helps to know what works and what doesn't. As we all learned a few months ago, however, Kickstarter makes it particularly difficult to find failed projects on its site or even through a search engine. Fortunately, enterprising individuals now have a new tool.
Meet The KickBack Machine, a site that shows both successful and failed Kickstarter projects, side by side.
Created by public radio producer and coder-in-training Dan Misener, The KickBack Machine was inspired by author Scott Steinberg's best-selling book, The Crowdfunding Bible, which explains that anyone who wants to launch a crowdfunding project must first "observe and learn how successful projects work, and to understand the subtle nuances and tactics that determine why some triumph while others don't." Making this process easier is the point of The KickBack Machine.
"The KickBack Machine is based on the premise that there's much to learn from past projects, both successes and failures," Misener told me in an email. "Even if they aren't directly actionable, each project has something to teach an aspiring crowdfunder."
Users of The KickBack Machine can view all projects together, or sort by category (art, photography, music, technology, etc.), or sub-category. You can also view only successful projects, or only unsuccessful ones. You can even narrow your search to only include projects with a particular dollar amount goal. All of this fine-tuning is there to help users find other projects that are most like that which they hope to launch.
Back in May, Misener caused an uproar surrounding Kickstarter after he revealed that the site was "hiding" projects that failed to achieve their funding goals. Not only did these projects not appear clearly on the site, Kickstarter purposefully de-indexted them from Google and other search engines.
In a comment on Misener's website, Kickstarter co-founder Yancey Strickler explained that his company does not bury unsuccessful projects "to 'hide failure.'" Instead, wrote Strickler, "it's because it would be a poor user experience (there's no action that anyone could take) and it would expose the creators of unsuccessfully funded projects to unnecessary criticism from the web (those projects would be prime for trolling)."
I reached out to Kickstarter about The KickBack Machine, but the company declined to comment. Instead, they pointed me to Kickstarter's FAQs, which now include a version of Strickler's explanation above.
"As for Kickstarter's decision to hide failure from search engines, The KickBack Machine doesn't change a thing," said Misener. "It simply links to project pages, and doesn't list project creators' names.
"Even though they make them difficult to find, Kickstarter continues to host failed project pages. So long as they're doing that, The KickBack Machine will continue to link to them," he added.
When I asked Misner what he's learned from The KickBack Machine, he said that "it's a bit early to say."
"The KickBack Machine only knows about projects that ended after mid-June 2012," continued Misener. "Larger patterns and trends will become clearer with a larger sample size. That said, I'm particularly interested in exploring the impact of social media on campaign success. Earlier this year, Jeanne Pi and Ethan Mollick did some interesting analysis of past Kickstarter campaigns. They found that 'Your chances of raising $10,000 on Kickstarter are just 9% if you have 10 Facebook friends, rising to 20% if you have 100 friends, and 40% if you have 1,000 friends.'
"Those are the sorts of things I'm interested in teasing out over time," he added. "But for now, I hope The KickBack Machine can be a useful tool simply by showing past success and failures, and letting aspiring crowdfunders draw their own conclusions about what leads to success."

Basal cell carcinoma is one type of skin cancer. This skin begins in the basal cells in your body. These are type of skin cells. The skin is producing them as the old ones die off. Basal cell carcinoma can have many types of forms, but usually appears at waxy bump. This type of cancer in the most cases is occurring in the part of the skin which is exposed to the sun such as neck and face. In the most cases basal cell carcinoma is caused by long-term exposure to UV radiation which is caused from the sunlight. If you avoid the sun when it is hottest and to use creams with UV factor, then this can help you against this type of cancer.
Basal Cell Carcinoma – Symptoms and Causes
Symptoms: Basal cell carcinoma usually happens on the parts which are exposed to the sun such as face and neck. In rare cases basal cell carcinoma occurs on the legs and trunk. Also is rare case to happen the basal cell carcinoma on the parts which are not exposed to sun, but there are possibilities to happen this situation. One of the signs that you have basal cell carcinoma is a sore that won't heal. Or in some cases these sores repeatedly bleeds and scabs over. Basal cell carcinoma is also having these symptoms:
- A scaly, flat, fresh-colored or brown patch on your chest or back. In some cases these patches can grow very large.
- A waxy or pearly white bump with visible blood vessels on your ears, neck and face. In some cases this bump can bleed and on that place you can see a crust. People which are having dark skin this type of cancer can be brown or black.
- More rarely this type of cancer can have a white, waxy scar. Basal cell carcinoma is easy to diagnosed. This type of cancer is also known for its name morpheaform basal cell carcinoma.
When to see a doctor? If you have some of these symptoms, then you should visit your doctor. You must talk with your doctor for the symptoms that are worrying you. Your doctor can send you to dermatologist which is specialized in skin disease. Your doctor can ask you about your medical history. You should type about all types of conditions that you had in the past even in your younger ages. If you have worked on sunlight and you have been under UV light, then you must tell your doctor about this condition. You should also tell your doctor what kind of medicines you have taken in the past or the natural remedies that you have taken. Your doctor can ask you the next questions:
- When is the first time you felt these symptoms?
- Had some family member in the past this type of cancer?
- Are you going out when is the midday sun?
- Have you used some kind of medicines for your condition?
- Have you used home remedies and natural cures for your health condition?
- Do you smoke or have you ever smoked? How much?
- Are you using cosmetics which are protecting you from UV radiation?
- Have you taken some medications to improve your immune system?
- Have you worked in sun?
- Have you been exposed on sun for long time?
Causes of basal cell carcinoma
This disease is happening when one of the skin's basal cells had developed in its DNA. These cells are found in the bottom line of the epidermis. Epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin. Basal cells are producing new cells. When the new cells are produced, they are pushing the older cells toward the skin's surface. In the skin's surface the old cells are dying and they are sloughed off. This process is controlled by the basal cell's DNA. This mutation is causing to the basal cells to multiply rapidly and they are continuing their growing till they die. In some rare cases abnormal cells can form a tumor. In the most cases DNA in the basal cells is damaged from the high UV radiation found in the sunlight and in the commercial creams with not proven ingredients. The toxic substances in the air or if you are having or you had a health condition that have weaken your immune system is another reason for basal cell carcinoma. Try to avoid the midday sun because in that period UV radiation is highest and you are most likely to have this disease. Also you should wear clothes that can protect you from the UV radiation. Before you start using some kind of cosmetic product you should consult with your doctor.

It's not immediately obvious that there is too little participation in social networking sites like FaceBook and MySpace. But providers of such services, and providers of ancillary services, would certainly like to see more participation. And if they can find commercial value in stimulating more activity by willing users, then the economist in me concludes we're better off: no obvious reason why the marketplace would be failing here.
At the least, social welfare musings aside, providers clearly want to motivate more participation, and more loyalty (that is, convincing folks to keep participating, rather than moving on to new networks). How to do so?
urTurn, an Ann Arbor startup, hopes it can create a market for measuring, monetizing and motivating more social network participation. It's idea is simple, and may work: if there's commercial value to providers in having lots of active users, then share some of that value back to the users. By letting the users benefit not only from the social activities, but also from a share of the commercial value of those activities, they should be motivated to participate more.
urTurn is trying to do this by creating a new currency. They award members points for activity, similar to a frequent flier program. The points can then be converted in various ways into cash or swag. For example, urTurn maintains a marketplace where users can buy and sell points for real cash (in trades with other users), much the way that people actively exchange Linden dollars for US dollars in the virtual world, Second Life. In addition, urTurn offers a store for cashing in prizes: for example, for 7500 points you can buy a $25 Visa cash card (other items for sale include iPods and iPhones). Soon urTurn will also be offering auctions in which users can bid their points to obtain items.
Here are some more details, written by my friend and colleague Prof. Yan Chen. Yan has no financial interest in urTurn (she is studying it for some of her research, and is helping to design the auctions for them in exchange for access to data).
With the launch of Google OpenSocial and its embrace by MySpace, etc.., the ability to cross social networks with a common currency is now readily available. The urTurn Rewards Widget monitors and tracks specific activities on the host social networks – Facebook, MySpace, bebo – and gathers these in a central account on the urTurn Marketplace – activities such as making friends, posting photos, and linking your widget to your urTurn Marketplace account.
Users on social networking sites, can download the widget, and start earning points for certain activities, including subscribing to the widget, forwarding the widget to a friend, friend's subscription to the widget, posting a blog or photo, adding friends to Facebook, and status update on Facebook.
In contrast to frequent flyer programs, urTurn does not benefit directly from the points it rewards the users of host sites. Its revenue might come from several sources: ads revenue, taxing the transactions on the points market, and possibly the host sites.

The storm has passed, but there's still lots of debris in your yard and repairs to be done. But it's important not to get taken when it comes to hiring a contractor to do cleanup of tree debris or repair of any damage to your home.
After a storm like this, fraudulent contractors pop up in neighborhoods going door to door trying to sell a quick fix. Don't buy it! The Montgomery County office of consumer protection offers these tips so you don't fall victim:
First, do not be rushed into making a decision. You could be overcharged, or a contractor could do more damage than good. Ignore the door-to-door appeals. Instead, consider someone you know or recommended by a friend or neighbor.
If you hire someone, make sure the firm is licensed, bonded and insured. Then make sure to get a written estimate with an invoice listing the parts needed to make the repair. Never pay for services in cash. That's a red flag that the contractor is trying to scam you. Pay by credit card so that if the service is done incorrectly, you can contest the charge.

In a year in which employment is up, the lingering hardship of economic recession is lifting and gas prices are at a five year low, this should have been the shopping season retailers dream about.
But it wasn't.
Black Friday sales were down by an alarming 11% this year. The reasons behind this sharp decline provide a dramatic and essential lesson for small businesses and the people who market for them.
What the Decline of Black Friday Means for Businesses
The dismal sales reported on Black Friday highlight several trends in consumer behavior that have been apparent for some time now — though not in such clear and decisive terms.
Who Needs Deep Discounts, Anyway?
Some experts have speculated that a better economic outlook actually hurt retailers this Black Friday. An unexpected side effect of better economic prospects is that consumers are less easily tempted out of their post-turkey food coma by slashed prices. Reduced fuel costs and a better job market mean that money is not quite as tight as it has been for consumers. Therefore, discounts are less likely to dominate the consumer decision making process.
The Shift Towards Online Shopping
Any business still ignoring the importance of a local/mobile search component got a big wake up call on Black Friday. The use of smartphones has ignited a trend toward price-motivated consumers hunting down the best deals on a product in seconds and purchasing it online. This trend, combined with the immense hassle of fighting aggressive crowds for deals, put a major damper on in-store sales this Black Friday.
Black Friday Fatigue
Anyone with an email account, a television, or a smartphone was undoubtedly exposed to thousands of Black Friday ads this year. With so much revenue at stake, many businesses went over-the-top with their marketing efforts in an attempt to reach consumers. But their efforts may have actually had the opposite effect and turned their customers off. Marketing fatigue is nothing new in today's media saturated world, but consumer's increasing aversion to being bombarded by ads is worth noting. Sometimes less is more. Just because you can send out 5 marketing emails in a single day does not mean that you should.
Strategic Marketing for Holiday Sales
The ultimate take away from the anemic Black Friday sales? Consumer behavior is rapidly evolving. Your business needs to be able to respond. That's where we come in. To learn how Turn the Page can partner with you to achieve your online marketing goals, call (816) 527-8371 to talk to one of our online marketing experts today.

STOP making the same mistakes as Everyone else.
Why should Anyone pay any attention to You?
Hey, I get it. You've just recently joined the coolest home business
opportunity that nobody knows about and it's Your time to cash-in!
This is 2018. Thanks to smart phones, social media and automation
softwares... Everyone online will know all about it within 72 hours.
You're already too late, and you haven't even started yet.
Competition is fierce!
The good old days of "the early bird gets the worm" are over.
Over like, well, since 2015 over.
Why? (Warning: Ugly Truth)
Because more established marketers like me can sign-up, swoop-in
and recruit/refer (at any time) more people in our first month into
literally any "opportunity" we choose to endorse, than the average
person will recruit/refer... in their entire lifetime. *Not kidding.
It has nothing to do with purchasing more advertising, having higher
converting marketing funnel systems, the fact that we might already
have 10,000's of email list subscribers or any other nonsense.
Sure, that helps too.
Those advantages are NOT why we succeed. We succeed because we
have taken the time (put in the effort) to "personalize" ourselves with
our audience over a period of time. We've made every effort to have
a one-on-one conversation (at least once, at some point) with as many
of our social "followers" or email list "subscribers" as possible... and...
in the event that hasn't happened yet... we've made every attempt to
introduce "ourselves" along the way sharing our personal blog/videos.
No doubt about it...
Some knucklehead will read this and get all bent out of shape because
it contradicts the copy/paste Fast Cash System they're promoting.
But come next week, they'll be promoting some New(er) system.
Go Figure.

- Industry: Energy & Utilities
Accelerating transformation.
Naperville is the only utility in the state of Illinois selected to receive a Smart Grid Investment Grant (SGIG) from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). It was chosen from among more than 500 grant applicants nationwide.
Naperville had begun planning and investing in the modernization of its electric grid long before the 2009 stimulus program began. Winning SGIG funding enabled it to accelerate the transformation by providing matching funds for its initiative. The city, however, did not have sufficient technical resources, people, or expertise to properly manage all of the work streams required to complete the program within the required three-year time frame. For short-term, program-specific utility and technology expertise, the city turned to West Monroe Partners.
Developing a unique and holistic project plan.
West Monroe Partners has been involved in assisting with Naperville's Smart Grid Initiatives (NSGI) since the city prepared its initial grant request submission in July 2009. Based on its experience during the grant application process, Naperville recognized that West Monroe Partners is a valuable partner whose methodologies and strategic approach mesh well with its smart grid vision.
West Monroe Partners worked with Naperville to divide the city's smart grid initiative into three phases: planning, design, and execution. Then, it used an appropriate combination of tools, templates, and techniques to create a clear and feasible program charter, individual project charters, and detailed project plans—including both technical and nontechnical components—that would guide the city through the design and implementation phases. Additionally, to meet the expedited DOE requirements for "definitization" plans, including detailed cyber security, project execution, and metrics and benefits reporting plans, West Monroe Partners utilized its organizational skills, technical expertise, and program management processes to assist Naperville in completing these activities ahead of schedule.
Effective project management office.
Due to the number of work streams involved and the accelerated time frame, West Monroe Partners determined that Naperville would need a program management office to manage time, resources, risks, scope, communications, quality, integration, and costs. West Monroe Partners worked closely with the project team leads and the project director to:
- Develop and use program and project management standards
- Utilize delivery methods and tools
- Create the program and project charters with an integrated project plan

11 best healthy food subscription boxes
Get something delicious and nutritious to snack on with the minimum of fuss
If you find yourself absentmindedly reaching for the biscuit tin to combat the dreaded 3pm slump, it might be time to re-look at your snacking habits.
As a nation, our nutritional needs are getting more complex. As many as 20 per cent of the population "believe" they are allergic or intolerant to one or more foods, meaning more people than ever are seeking out alternative diets. On the other hand a quarter of the adult population are currently obese, so there's never been such a focus on taking better care of ourselves.
While the big brands are starting to wake up to our needs, and we slowly start to see wholesome products seep into the mainstream and away from the free-from shelf, some of the smaller, niche products are still not as accessible as we'd like, particularly if you live outside of a big city. So if you'd rather not spend your lunch break trawling the high street in search of the perfect organic, sugar-free, dairy-free treat, or if you just feel like you need a goodness injection, then let these wellness warriors box it all up and bring it to you.
Choose from regular deliveries, purchase as a one-off treat, or gift a box to the health junkie in your life – just don't expect to look at your Rich Tea biscuit in the same way again. The team behind food and drink review site Crummbs have snacked their way through a range of boxes to bring you their favourites.
1. Superfoodio Classic Box: from £18.95 per month, Superfoodio
Vegetarian husband and wife team Nirali and Jag came up with this slick snack box after discovering exciting new flavours on their travels around South America. Feeling inspired, they wanted to share their discoveries, giving everybody the chance to experiment with new superfoods and ingredients in the kitchen. We'd been spying the brand new Deliciously Ella energy balls on our Instagram feed of late so were delighted to find them in our Classic Box. You'll also find deluxe treats such as Raw Halo's mylk chocolate and salted caramel, Emily veg crisps and Be Mindful chia pudding. What makes this selection stand out from the crowd, though, is the featured ingredient which changes each month. Moringa powder (rich in calcium, protein, iron, potassium and vitamins A and C) isn't an ingredient we'd used before, but each box contains two helpful recipes to ensure you get the best out of it.
2. Lifebox Women's Health Subscription: £21.95 per month, Lifebox
Opening this box, we had to remind ourselves it wasn't actually our birthday. Beautifully packaged and tied with a bow, the selection of 14 sweet and savoury snacks catered to all of our wants and needs. Although the box is aimed at women, we think the high-energy products would appeal to both men and women. Start the day with The Department of Breakfast cacao and goji crunch granola, snack on organic tomato pesto popcorn at lunch and indulge with the Kookie Cat vegan cookie later in the afternoon. Each box comes with a helpful menu detailing what you've received and suggestions on how to use it. Like Superfoodio, you'll also receive a recipe card featuring two cleansing recipes and healthy hacks. Supporting the wellness revolution, these guys are firm believers in prevention over cure. Also available as a one-off box.
3. Graze Variety Box: £3.99 per week, Graze
One of the first subscription snack boxes to emerge, Graze has since developed its offering to include a more specialised Protein Box, alongside the original variety pack. Handily sized boxes fit through the letterbox so you don't have to be in to sign for them and with over 100 snacks to explore, you're bound to find some favourites. You'll receive four snacks each week, which you're then encouraged to rate to ensure your selection gets tailored to your preferences. Each treat is clearly labelled with either calorie or protein count. At just 55 calories we particularly enjoyed the brilliant banana bread which comes with a single tea bag – an afternoon infusion of Assam and Kenyan leaves.
4. The Nutribox Classic 20: £25, Nutribox
Jam-packed full of 20 products, think of this as a helpful vending machine that sits on your desk. Instead of a bog standard packet of crisps it will dispense beetroot, horseradish and dill chips, perfectly portioned packs of nuts and raw superfood flapjacks. It features a mixture of brands we love, like Pip & Nut and Nakd, as well as new discoveries from Great Taste 2015 winner Creative Nature, all of which are guaranteed to be gluten-free. You decide on the frequency (weekly, fortnightly, monthly or once every two months) and you can cancel at any time.
5. Office Pantry Snack Pack: £35, Office Pantry
Looking for brownie points from the boss? Office Pantry is designed to keep your whole workplace happy. A mixture of snacks is delivered on a weekly or monthly basis to fill up the big wooden crate you receive with the initial delivery. For an office of one to 15 people you'll get 37 snacks: expect fruit jerky, super seeded chocolate bars and nuts. Everything is healthy without being too specialist so you won't scare off Barbara in accounts.
6. Vegan Tuck Box Ultimate Subscription Box: £16.50 per month, Vegan Tuck Box
This is ideal if you're embarking on a plant-based diet and are still trying to get your head around what you can eat. The box contains 13 items of sweet and savoury treats (the Simply7 lemon and olive oil kale chips being our favourite) and the retail value of the individuals products altogether is guaranteed to be more than the cost of the box. You'll also find a monthly recipe online which uses the Bang Curry spice mix found in the box. Not only that, 10p from each box goes to a vegan friendly charity – this month it's going towards a prosthetic leg for Flossie the sheep from Brook Farm Animal Sanctuary.
7. The Goodness Project Vegan Goodness Box: Starting from £9.95 per month, The Goodness Project
Born of a frustration with not being able to find the products they were after, the founders of the The Goodness Project promise to deliver a thoughtfully curated box of eight to 10 wholesome goodies each month. You'll never receive the same product twice and many items are full-sized – we even received a pack of 14 Yuyo Yerba spice tea bags. The BonPom organic mulberries have gone a long way (we've been sprinkling over smoothie bowls) and the large bar of organic, raw creamy hazelnut mylk chocolate is idea for sharing (or not). Delivered in a fresh white and green leaf print box, the green tissue paper and bow make this an ideal gift.
8. Primal Savannah Box: £19.99 per month, Primal Snack Box
This is a carefully curated box of nutritious and paleo-friendly snacking options, all free from grains, gluten, soy, dairy and refined sugars. Working with small producers, the high-protein dried meat offering (salted crackling or beef bites, anyone?) made this box stand out from the rest. A menu card details all 10 items you'll find in the box as well as a simple chocolate banana lolly recipe to try at home.
9. VITL Essentials Monthly: £19.95 per month, VITL
A bit of a curve ball, but we couldn't resist including VITL's new 28-day multi-vitamins and Omega 3 pack. Containing 28 strips to tide you over each month, each one contains a multivitamin for healthy skin, hair, nails and immunity, as well as Omega 3 made from pure Antarctic krill oil to support brain function and health. Using only the highest quality, filler-free ingredients, this pack is super convenient to use (since starting we haven't missed a day yet) and we love the modern design. Oh, and that bug that's going round the office? We've not got a whiff of it.
10. Fitty London Subscription Box: £29 per month, Fitty London
It's a little more expensive but this monthly fitness box features full-size fitness foods and workout products – from protein powders and superfoods to resistance bands and muscle rubs. Expect a mixture of big brands and small start-ups, all with the aim of improving your fitness game. The brand also creates workout videos and brings you the lowdown on the London fitness scene – from reviews of the latest healthy eateries and boutiques on the block, to interviews, recipes and lots more.
11. TRIBE Pack: £8.65 per pack, TRIBE
TRIBE is more than just a snack box – it's an athletic community. Tom, Rob and Guy – three old friends and ultra-runners – founded the brand in 2015 following a 1,000-mile run across Eastern Europe. Frustrated with the synthetic and sugar-filled sports nutrition products available on the market, they set out to develop performance nutrition from all-natural wholefoods, blended in the right way to provide key nutrients pre- and post-workout. The website asks you a few questions about your type of fitness and delivers a customised box especially for you. Based on our answers we received a balance pack containing two energy bars and a trail mix, as well as two protein bars and a mineral booster for recovery.
The Verdict: Healthy food subscription boxes
Health means different things to different people so try to consider what's important to you when choosing a subscription. Those hitting the gym will appreciate the high performance Tribe pack and Fitty London's full-sized products. Looking for a bit of inspiration and a break from the norm? Graze is a low-cost place to start. The Nutribox will ensure you make good snacking decisions at your desk, otherwise we'd be thrilled to receive a box from Superfoodio, The Goodness Project or Lifebox as a gift.

March 27, 2003
On this day in 2003, John Lennon's boyhood home in Liverpool was opened to the public.
251 Menlove Avenue, located in Woolton, an affluent suburb of Liverpool, was owned by Lennon's Aunt Mimi and her husband George Smith. At the age of five, Lennon moved there from 9 Newcastle Road, after his mother's boyfriend persuaded her that it would be in the child's best interest to live with them instead. He resided at the home until mid-1963, when he was 22 years old.
The building is preserved by The National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty.

Comments: This is another work in progress and I am almost done with this project. Only the middle section remains.
This project is on 14-mesh tan Zweigart canvas and only needs a few different threads like Medici and Perle cotton in two different sizes.
I really need to give this one a last effort and I will end up with a lovely pillow.

Updated from the original Ultimaker 2, the Ultimaker 2+ is consistent, reliable and ready to perform! Equipped to support a large variety of premium materials, including ABS plastics, this machine will enhance and support a large spectrum of applications. Featuring a heated build plate, the ability to swap nozzle sizes and an impressive print size to machine size ratio, the Ultimaker 2+ allows the user to accomplish a wide range of 3D printing goals.
Geared Feeder
Equipped to improve grip and torque (which prevents filament skipping in motor), Ultimaker's geared feeder places increased pressure on the filament, while in turn reducing heat exposure from the motor. This feature also allows the filament to be easily removed or inserted using the grip release button.
An innovative gear feeder increases filament reliability.
Succesful prints whatever the complexity
The Ultimaker 2+ is able to create difficult and detailed print jobs easily, due to extensive research and development, allowing the machine to create prints with bridging, overhangs and small, accurate detail in all sizes and shapes.
Swappable Nozzles
Ultimaker 2+ comes with a Nozzle Kit, which features four nozzle sizes that are easily changed (0.25, 0.6, and 0.8mm, with the 0.4 pre-installed). Smaller nozzles allow the machine to print in fine detail, while the larger ones allow for faster prints.
Swappable nozzles for greater detail or faster print speed.
Efficient Cooling
The Ultimaker 2+ comes equipped with powerful fans which aim the air directly below the nozzle, blowing equally from both sides, which allows for efficient cooling and high-quality prints.
Optimized airflow allows you to get smoother prints
Globally recognized, award-winning performance
The prints are what you expect from an Ultimaker: crisp, clean and incredibly impressive… Most printers have that default layer height at about .2mm, but Ultimaker printers halve that at .1mm, resulting in prints that automatically look better than their competitors.

Gymea's CHS Cricket Star
The 2016 CHS Girls Cricket tournament was held in Bathurst from February 15 – 18. The tournament comprised of 10 teams from around NSW competing in a round robin competition. The competition consisted of four T20 matches and one 50-over match during the first 3 days, with the semi-final and final being played on the fourth day.
The Sydney East region team was captained by Samantha Robinson of Year 11. This is a most impressive achievement as it is Samantha's third year representing Gymea in the tournament and to be selected as captain, a huge honour that says a lot about her talent, sportsmanship and leadership.
After winning their first two T20 matches well but narrowly losing their limited overs and final two T20 matches, the Sydney East region team finished a creditable fourth. The team did exceptionally well, but it was their opponent, the Hunter region team that finished third place in the 40-over playoff on the final day.
This is a great achievement and we are so proud of Samantha for not only being a part of this elite team, but in leading them. Congratulations Samantha!

About a month ago I installed
Lubuntu 11.10. Since that time there is a problem with booting and shutting down.
- Booting is endless. This screen never disappears, so I have to manually press the shutdown button of my laptop
- I turn the laptop on and have the possibility of choice. I choose the second option -
Linux 3.0.0-14-generic (recovery mode)
- I will choose
resume normal bootoption
- Success
Lubuntu boots normally but in most cases I have to go through steps 1-4. When I shutdown the OS I will see this screen forever, so I have to press my laptop button to turn it off.
Do you know where is the problem and how to solve it? I'm asking rather here (not in Ubuntu), because this is system problem what I'm interested in (not the matter of one distribution) but booting process and here are more experts interested in the system (what is under the hood).
thank you

I'm sure you have experienced what Guy Clark was talking about when he wrote the song 'Home Grown Tomatoes'. I mean seriously, there is no comparison to a fresh, juicy, home-garden grown tomato! And truth be told, quality produce doesn't stop with the tomato alone. If you have ever enjoyed lettuce, arugula, broccoli, carrots, and any other number of sweat-equity vegetables and herbs then you know what I'm talking about.
Speaking of sweat equity, if you have a home garden then you are aware of all the work. Sometimes it seems there is no end to weeding, watering, keeping bugs and pest away, fighting diseases, drought, and any number of vegetable garden battles.
Don't be alluded, vegetable gardening takes time and effort but there are ways to minimize the work and maximize the enjoyment. Timing, quality materials, correct plants/seed for your zone or environment, sun exposure, and many other factors can lead to success or failure.
There has been a great interest in home gardens over the past few years. Maybe the interest has arisen from economic hard times or an increasing interest in recycling, gardening and the outdoors. Whatever your interest may be, the pros and cons of raised beds and pallets should be considered.
In this article I will address 2 types of vegetable garden construction. The first is the time proven raised bed and the second is the use of wooden pallets for garden beds. There are pros and cons to each method and it's up to you to determine which one fits your gardening style the best.
Raised Beds
I'm not exactly sure when or where raised garden bed started, but there examples of various shapes, materials, and styles all throughout the world. Construction materials include wood, CMU block or brick, stacked stone and many other materials including old tires, freezer or fridge's, and anything that may be scavenged or found.
Most of my discussions on raised beds have been centered on the use of wood lumber for construction, and usually cedar. When using lumber, consider how it was manufactured. Is it being logged, processed, and shipped in sustainable manner? Does or could it contain any unwanted contaminants such as pesticide, chemicals, oils or any other unwanted materials?
Raised beds have many benefits, some of which include:
- more easily accessible w/out bending over or squatting
- suitable for the elderly and disabled
- improved drainage
- usually filled with high quality soil w/ a minimum or no weed seed
- recycled materials may be easy to find
Some not so good things to consider:
- often more expensive than other methods
- construction can be time consuming and require specific skills
- history and/or pollution factor of material
Pallets can be found almost anywhere and may be a suitable material for gardening. Planting between the wooden slats keeps your crops organized and spaced. The wooden slats prevent weed growth and may reduce your time in garden maintenance.
Most pallets today are manufactured using heat treatment to ensure ISPM 15 requirements are met. In a nutshell, it is known that wood products can be a way for insects, pest, and disease to travel over state and international borders. Treating the wood prior to use and shipment ensures that these problems are not transported to new areas.
Pallets may be used by laying them down horizontally on the ground and planting using traditional methods or they can be used standing up vertically as a 'green wall'. When using pallets as green wall, some modification is usually required so that the soil will stay in place. Often times the pallets are leaned against a wall or custom installed between post or by suspension.
Pallet beds have many benefits, some of which include:
- organization and spacing of crops
- easy to find material, often free
- reduces need for weeding and maintenance
- may require less soil fill than a raised bed
- use as a 'green wall' is space efficient
Some not so good things to consider:
- history and/or pollution factor of material
- may be contaminated by any number of pollutants from use during shipping or after shipping use

I like the point you made about less weeding with a pallet garden. I don't have a lot of time to spend on my garden or landscaping, so I think pallets would be helpful. The organized spacing is a nice benefit too. Thanks for sharing.
Great project I love it

What is Tilt?
We are building a citizens' movement
Tilt is a citizens' movement demanding that the European Union works for all of us – not just a privileged few. Together, we're making real change happen and urgently pushing for a fairer, greener Europe. And with the far right on the rise, climate deniers in the European Parliament, and big corporations with more power than any government – we cannot afford to waste time.
There are millions of people like us across Europe. People who see these urgent problems we face, and who want to do something about it. And together, we have something that the rich and powerful will never have. Something much more powerful. We have you – and many others like you. Tilt is where we come together to make change happen.
The Tilt community was founded by the European Greens – and our access to Green policy experts and members of the European Parliament makes us unique. By bringing together thousands of citizens with this expertise, we make sure we have both the people power and the deep knowledge to make real change. Together, we can look behind the curtain of the EU – making sure we always focus where we can have the most impact, and always make it count.
Together, we can make real change happen. Together, we can tilt the world back into place.

Cook Island Tourism: Chinese interest was incredible
A trip to China by a Cook Islands delegation earlier this month appears to have been a success and locals can soon expect to see the fruits of the journey, says Culture secretary Anthony Turua. Turua last week reflected on the six-day visit to Zhuhai, China, where the Cook Islands participated in the annual Guangdong tourism culture festival.
"They invite all the provinces from around China, and then they have special invitations from outside of China. So we were invited alongside countries such as Russia and Poland," Turua said.
"Seeing our group perform was fantastic. I think it was unique for the spectators watching them because they'd never seen drumming, never seen hula dancing like that.
"And when the drums hit, everybody came to see. They even came to the changing room to take photos of the performers.
"I think they were overwhelmed by our culture. I take my hat off to our team, it was a professional team."
A special exhibit was also created about the Cook Islands, featuring 30 A3-sized photos that emphasised the beauty of the country.
It proved to be incredibly popular with visitors and Chinese travel agents, as the narration and information about the pictures was all in Chinese.
The delegation was also provided with brochures created by a Cook Islands Tourism employee based in Beijing, who translated the words into Chinese.
"It was incredible. If you look at all the photos of the Cook Islands, all the content was in Chinese.
"I think the first day we were visited by 100 travel agents from around China, and they were fascinated."
At the opening of the festival, Finance minister Mark Brown, who led the delegation, made a speech about the Cook Islands 20-year partnership with China.
In addition to the culture shows and speeches, the delegation also met with officials from the Zhuhai government.
"At the moment we have a two-year programme with them, which covers agriculture, marine and culture," Turua explained.
"So I was happy because one of the projects that I requested for our auditorium was to install two LED screens. So in May they will be here to install the screens."
Turua said the screens could be used at international conferences, where people could be beamed into the auditorium through Skype.
Around 15 tourist agents will be coming at the same time as the screens arrive, and will be hosted on visits to Rarotonga and Aitutaki.
"They just want to scope out the scenery, the facilities, the accommodation and see what's on offer," said Turua. "And then they'll go back and confirm that with their clients.
"There could be an expectation that we could see an increase in Chinese tourists, but mainly at the higher end, where they have money to spend."
He also spoke about the potential for renewable energy improvements in the Cook Islands, as a company in Zhuhai, Gree, is one of the world leaders in manufacturing air-conditioners that run on solar energy.
"The Cook Islands has aimed to become fully dependant on renewable energy by the start of next decade, and while we would have to change our systems to accommodate (solar air-conditioning), it would reduce our carbon footprint.
"Our minister is very interested in engaging with Gree for them to look at our systems here.
"I'm in support of the idea, especially for our museum, as it could mean being able to have a permanent archive housed there, which is something that I really need."
In the meantime, the country's archives are deteriorating, he says as the AC cannot be on all the time in the building where they are housed. Having solar powered air-conditioning would reduce running costs and protect the valuable records.
"The other area that I'm looking at is cultural capacity training, in terms of the museum, library and archives.
"At the archives, we are getting a digital scanner so that we can copy a lot of the material in the outer islands before it is lost forever."

Filed under: China, GM, Toyota, Volkswagen, India
For what seemed like an eternity, the title of World's Largest Automaker belonged to General Motors. More recently, Toyota was able to wrestle the mantle away from GM as the Japanese automaker made huge gains in GM's home country and abroad, and Volkswagen has been nipping at the two behemoth's heels. According to Bloomberg, though, the top three are likely to see themselves reshuffled before 2011 officially draws to a close.
Volkswagen, with an estimated 2011 sales tally of around 8.1 million vehicles globally (up 13 percent over 2010), is likely to earn top billing as the largest automaker in the world. General Motors, which was in the sales lead through the first half of 2011, ought to move around 7.55 million machines (an eight-percent increase) to hold on to second place while Toyota's estimated 7.27 million sales (a nine-percent falloff) would only be good enough for third in the global race for sales dominance.
There are a number of reasons Toyota has seen its sales flounder in 2011 - most notably the disastrous earthquake and tsunami in the first quarter of the year that halted production of many of its popular models, but also due in part to lingering aftereffects of its recall-ridden history over the past few years. Company CEO Akio Toyoda has vowed to address all of these concerns.
Analysts are split on predictions for 2012, with some suggesting VW will have enough momentum to hang on to its number one spot and others believing Toyota will rebound to reclaim first place in global sales. Success in emerging markets like China and India will likely be the deciding factor in sales supremacy, both in 2012 and in the years to follow.VW to pass Toyota as biggest global automaker this year? originally appeared on Autoblog on Tue, 25 Oct 2011 10:30:00 EST.

text: No one but the CID would blame her if she was. An aneurism had turned John Cane into an abusive drinker, and a threatened lawsuit had brought his security-systems company to the brink of collapse. If it hadn't been for a fat life-insurance policy, the much younger wife he'd tussled with physically hours before his death would have been left destitute. But at least she wouldn't have been alone—not if it had been up to Mike Linton, the painter Cane had hired to create a portrait of his wife. The whole setup looks too convenient to DS Bill Hopkins, DC Brian Morgan and Constable Tristram Lewis, and after several rounds of increasingly pointed questioning, Elaine is arrested for manslaughter. Although it's clear that she and Linton are indeed in love, both the widow and the painter, who specializes in gamey nudes commissioned by men's magazines, swear that nothing improper has passed between them. As the net tightens around Elaine anyway, Linton, frantic to help her, hatches the 11th-hour idea of providing her with an alibi, setting up a courtroom showdown and an ethical dilemma for an unexpected character.Suspenseful but slender work from veteran Ashford (Criminal Innocence, 2010, etc.) that could pass for an episode of Law & Order: Surbiton.

After losing Bobby Petrino due to some off-the-field issues prior to the 2012 season, the Arkansas Razorbacks stayed under the radar this season, signing John L. Smith to a one-year deal. They went 4-8 for their efforts, but it seems they're going all-in for 2013 and beyond.
Arkansas has offered Les Miles a five-year, $27.5 million contract to move from LSU over to the Razorbacks, according to Sports By Brooks. The Tigers went 10-2 this season, losing to Florida and Alabama.
Miles has been with LSU since 2005. He has a 85-20 record in his eight seasons with the Tigers. Miles coached at Oklahoma State prior to his tenure at LSU. He was 28-21 with the Cowboys, taking them to three bowl games in a row. Miles won the national championship with LSU in 2007, and lost to Alabama in the title game last season.

Uterine fibroids are a type of noncancerous tumor that grows in the uterine wall. These tumors range in size from small and seed-like to those that are as large as a grapefruit. Uterine fibroids can cause a number of symptoms, including heavy bleeding, lower back pain, pain with intercourse or an enlarged lower abdomen. A number of factors, including your weight, can increase your risk for developing uterine fibroids, and exercise can be beneficial.
Risk Factors
You cannot change some risk factors for uterine fibroids. For example, women ages 30 to 40 through menopause are more likely to experience uterine fibroids. African-American women and those with a family history of fibroids also are at an increased risk. However, there are two elements of uterine fibroid risk that you can change: your diet and your weight. Women who eat more red meat and ham have an increased fibroids risk, according to WomensHealth.gov. Overweight women are as much as three times more likely to experience fibroids. This is because fibroids are a result of extra estrogen in the body. Women with excess fat, especially abdominal fat, are more likely to overproduce estrogen. Therefore, exercise to reduce fat can help to reduce the risk of fibroids. However, losing weight can help to reduce estrogen production, it does not always guarantee existing fibroids will reduce in size.
Bharadvaja's Twist
Yoga poses to open the stomach area are associated with helping to relieve the pain of uterine fibroids and help you find more comfortable positions with fibroids. One example is Bharadvaja's Twist. To perform, sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you. Shift your weight to your right buttocks and then fold your legs in toward your left buttocks. Inhale to sit up straighter, then twist your torso to your right side, placing your right arm behind your left, opening and stretching the stomach. Hold this position for 10 to 15 seconds, then release the stretch.
Supported Bridge Pose
The Supported Bridge Pose is another exercise that can relieve uterine fibroid pain. To perform, lie on the floor with your arms extended and your palms facing upward. Lift your buttocks and torso up to lift your legs and torso off the ground. Leave your shoulders on the ground with your eyes toward the ceiling. If needed, you can place a rolled-up towel between your knees to make the position more comfortable. Hold in place for 10 to 15 seconds, then release the stretch and lower the buttocks toward the ground. Repeat two to three times.
Cardiovascular Exercise
Cardiovascular exercise burns calories and can help you to lose weight. However, jarring, high-impact exercises can cause pain to existing fibroids, making it difficult for you to exercise. Instead, choose low-impact cardiovascular exercises like water aerobics or swimming. Walking, using an elliptical machine or cycling also burn calories and fat, helping to reduce unhealthy estrogen production. Exercise at least three to five times per day for at least 30 minutes to create a calorie deficit that helps you lose weight.
