The Arvest Foundation recently presented the city of Yellville with a donation in the amount of $10,000. The donation will go towards the addition of a splash pad at a local city park. The splash pad will feature a large water park area with water toys that look similar to giant water guns, umbrellas and archways.The gift was announced Nov. 5 at the Yellville city board meeting. Several Arvest Bank associates were on hand to present the check to Park Chairman Lyn Baker and other board members from the Yellville City Parks Commission.
"This splash pad area will be a great benefit to the families in our community," said Mike Willard, president and CEO of Arvest Bank in north central Arkansas. "Arvest takes pride in living up to its name as a community bank and we want to show our support for the local community."
"This park will be a safe place to play in the water in the hot summer months for the children of our community for many years to come," said Shawn Lane, mayor of Yellville. "We are grateful to the Arvest Foundation for this wonderful donation to this great project."

When it comes to disasters there is one indisputable fact: they happen whether we are ready or not. New York City is no stranger to natural or man-made disasters. In the last two decades we experienced Hurricane Sandy, which was the second largest storm to make landfall in US history, and the September 11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.
Despite the inevitability of hurricanes and other catastrophes, most individual citizens probably don't spend a lot of time thinking about the next disaster much less preparing for it. I have lived in New York City for over thirty years and for the past 23 I have been married to a New York City firefighter. My husband's three brothers are NYC police officers so you might say I have had a fairly up close and personal view of the life of a first responder. If any family should have an emergency plan we should. To be completely honest, we don't.
So it is good to know that behind the scenes at the federal, state, and local levels there is a network and system for emergency response and preparedness at work around the clock. They work in tandem to anticipate and prepare for a multitude of different scenarios, natural and man-made, that are unlikely to cross our conscience except in our darkest nightmares.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) takes the lead nationally. FEMA's mission is to support both citizens and first responders to build, sustain, and improve our capacity to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards. It is a huge job and one that continues to grow in importance as we manage more and more weather events, disease outbreaks, and terrorist threats. It's why the proposed 900 million cut to FEMA that Congress was considering for the 2018 federal budget must be reconsidered!
To do its work, FEMA collaborates with both elected officials and state and local agencies like NYC Emergency Management (NYCEM). In planning for and responding to city-wide emergency events, NYCEM is responsible for organizing and coordinating with all other New York City agencies, some like Police and Fire that one might expect to be on the front lines of a wide-scale emergency but others that you may not consider like Department of Buildings, Department of Citywide Administrative Services, Department of Parks and Recreation and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
The NYC Health Department, which most of us associate with birth certificates, smoking restrictions, restaurant grades, and other local health-related issues, will take on the role of first responder in the event of a major emergency such as a coastal storm, a biological attack, or a disease outbreak. Like Police and Fire, the Health Department is constantly preparing and training behind the scenes for any number of emergency scenarios. And in New York City, with its 8.4 million residents, this is a tall and expensive undertaking. It's also a critical one that must be built and sustained with adequate Federal funding.
When Hurricane Sandy caused the East River to flood the generators that kept the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of NYU Langone Medical Center running, an established protocol and trained staff made sure that all patients were safely transferred to other hospitals.
In the instance of a biological attack like anthrax, taking certain medications after exposure before the disease develops can keep people from getting sick. To prepare, the Health Department has identified 165 Points of Dispensing (PODs), temporary sites that can be activated within hours to provide life-saving medications city-wide. Rapid, city-wide mobilization requires practice and continued support for complex exercises to continually test and improve plans.
When the first Ebola patient was admitted into a city hospital, the Health Department's Public Health Laboratory was able to confirm the diagnosis in less than three hours. The Health Department lab is an essential part of controlling potential outbreaks as highly trained and practiced technicians are constantly at the ready to test and detect a variety of infectious diseases and minimize the spread.
In 2004 when FEMA marked September as National Preparedness Month (NPM), it did so to coincide with the onset of hurricane season and to elevate the importance of emergency preparedness. This September, as we bear witness to the damage of hurricanes Harvey and Irma and mark the 16th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, it is essential that we realize that our country's and city's readiness is the result of foresight, planning, and coordinated training which requires sustained attention and funding over time.
Often times, and thankfully, many major emergencies never come to fruition, but we must prepare nonetheless. It is critical that our federal government maintain the investments necessary so that we can continue to plan and respond in ways that save lives and protects the health and wellbeing of all of us.

Stayed in Jurys Inn with 'free' parking prior to a weeks holiday. It was a large car park but the actual car spaces were a bit tight. The hotel was nice, room was very comfortable. No complaints from us.
Fantastic surprise when we chose the mystery hotel, could not have been happier. It was so much easier to have everything planned ahead. Arrived at the hotel the night before, parking was close to the the door. Shuttle to the airport the following morning was at regular intervals and we went away confident that the car was safely parked until our return. Shuttle collection from thd airport on return was just as efficient. A very enjoyable experience at a very good price. Thank you parking for less we will definitely be using your service again next time.

Each company tends to set their rates a little differently. One may give you a low base rate of say $19.95 but then tell you that you also have to pay $0.69 per km! This can be a good deal if you can get from the rental depot, to your current apartment, over to your new apartment and back to the rental depot in about 40kms or less. Other companies will quote you a straight rate with a cap on mileage while others yet will offer unlimited mileage...
Then there's the different size trucks to factor in. Typical moving trucks are 16 cubic feet or 24 cubic feet. Here's something to consider that may save you money: if you can't do your move in one trip with the big truck, it may be cheaper to use the small truck and do 2 trips. Keep extra mileage and gas costs in mind though when figuring out your costs.
So how do you find a rental truck? Try the yellow pages or online. I would strongly suggest calling at least 3 different companies to ensure you get the best deal. Also, don't be afraid to play off one company against the other. It's a competitive world out there and companies will often drop their price to get your business.
Good luck with your move!
Over the past decade, the migration from print to online advertising of rental properties has brought about fierce competition. Online advertising has provided multiple media options that weren't previously available, such as creating picture-rich listings with multiple photos, video, and maps, along with rich detailed ad copy and social media links.
Since owners of rental properties have begun to look at their rental portfolios as real businesses, with themselves as CEO, competition can be fierce. How can you ensure that your property stands out? Strategic marketing! Businesses need marketing to retain and grow market share, so that competition from across the street with trendy name, logo, and picture-rich website won't lure tenants to where the grass appears greener.How do we stave off this exodus and fill empty units before the competition? By producing descriptive, picture-rich, and eye-catching advertisements that are tailored to your target audience.
Unlike rental ads in the classified section of local newspapers, which often charge by the letter, most online sites offer plenty of space for you to provide details. Take advantage of this space and provide information tenants are looking for up front. Along with great photos, the most important details to include are location and price. Be sure to fill out all of the fields when posting your ads, list all amenities, and be clear on the terms. If you require a 1-year lease or utilities are extra, state this upfront.

Partnership offers complete solutions for VoIP and IP communications over WiMAX
for mobile devices based on the Android™ and Linux operating systems
Las Vegas, NV (International CTIA Wireless® Show) and Santa Barbara, CA - March 22, 2010 - D2 Technologies, the market leader in embedded IP communications software platforms, today announced that it has joined with GCT® Semiconductor, a leading supplier of mobile WiMAX™ solutions to the global market, to deliver VoIP over WiMAX for mobile devices based on the Android™ and Linux operating systems. D2's breakthrough mCUE® converged communications client and its industry leading vPort embedded VoIP engine power two reference designs incorporating GCT's GDM7205, the world's first mobile WiMAX IEEE 802.16e Wave 2-compliant chip solution. The combined solutions offer OEMs and ODMs a faster and more economical way to deliver a range of WiMAX mobile devices to market with broad VoIP and IP communications capabilities.
At the 2010 International CTIA Wireless® Show, being held March 23-25 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, D2 will demonstrate Android mobile VoIP calls over WiMAX via mCUE running on the TI Zoom™ OMAP3 II mobile development platform integrated with GCT's GDM7205 modem IC. D2 will also showcase an optimized integration of its vPort VoIP engine embedded directly on GDM7205 for low cost, single-chip mobile applications. Attendees can get a first look at these joint D2 - GCT integrated solutions by contacting D2 Technologies' representatives to arrange a private demonstration.
"WiMAX and 4G networks are poised for phenomenal growth; however, mobile devices that can take advantage of their greater bandwidth and speed have been slow to enter the market," said Doug Makishima, chief operating officer at D2 Technologies. "Now that the industry is actively working toward the creation and delivery of a stable WiMAX infrastructure, OEMs and ODMs are eager to launch products aimed at fulfilling consumer demand. By partnering with GCT, we can offer a turnkey mobile platform for delivering 4G unified communications/VoIP over WiMAX on the Android or Linux OS."
GCT's compact single-chip GDM7205 offers a flexible architecture coupled with ultra low power, ideally suited to satisfy the high demands of multimedia processing and wireless connectivity. When integrated with D2's vPort software platform, it provides all of the components necessary for manufacturers to quickly bring dual mode Wi-Fi and WiMAX enabled mobile devices to market. vPort's advanced VoIP functionality includes voice quality assurance technology such as jitter buffer and packet loss compensation, and enables rich voice features achieved with minimal memory and CPU impact. mCUE enables today's most in-demand applications and features including Skype™ interoperability, video call/chat, seamless call handover and HD voice.
"GCT wants to offer its customers the most advanced chipsets possible for efficiently and economically delivering new products built on OS such as Linux," said Dr. Kyeongho "KH" Lee, president and CEO of GCT Semiconductor. "By porting D2's vPort to the GDM7205, OEMs and ODMs get the industry's most advanced IP communications capabilities in a small and efficient form factor - in effect, a complete solution for accelerating design-to-market timelines for VoIP over WiMAX mobile devices."

Well, this is an interesting one as, if you ask my sister, she'd say nothing because we live like students! And in all honesty, she's not far wrong!
Big and I are really lazy when it comes to shopping and cooking. We tend to decide what we want on the day, pop off to the shop, buy the ingredients and usually throw some other bits in the basket too. Take last night as an example, Big headed out to the shop to buy the ingredients for cheesy Nachos at 8.30pm because we got peckish as we'd not planned something proper for tea. He came back with the ingredients plus a cheesecake and chocolate that we definitely didn't need!
One thing I had sworn when I became pregnant was that we'd get our sh*t together with food, so that we could bring Little up eating healthily. So far I've relied mainly on Ella's Kitchen pouches, as I know they are healthier than most things I could make her. Her favourite at the moment is their Veggie Lasagne. Don't get me wrong, she does have fresh fruits and veg purees made by me occasionally, along with toast, pancakes and other bits of food that she can hold, but nowhere near as often as I'd like. I'm so far from the housewife and mum I dreamed of being.
I'd love some tips on how to be more organised!
Who else neglects their fridge and oven? Is it just me who dreams of being the perfect housewife but falls seriously short?
Little Big Love

Supplemental Instruction is a university peer-support learning program developed by Dr. Deanna Martin, from the University of Missouri-Kansas City. It uses voluntary and free peer-led seminar sessions to encourage active and collaborative learning in a more informal environment than regular class lectures. It was designed to augment student success in classes with historically high fail or drop rates. Supplemental Instruction sessions are led by students who have previously completed the course and done well in it. Universities that have implemented Supplemental Instruction have reported average GPAs of about half a grade point higher among students who regularly attended Supplemental Instruction sessions in comparison to their peers who did not attend.
- Increase student grades in historically difficult courses
- Provide students with an advantage that they will not get at other institutions
- Create a sense of interdependence and teamwork within the Concordia community
What is Supplemental Instruction?
Supplemental Instruction is a support program for students in historically difficult courses where they can review notes, work on problems and prepare for exams in an encouraging environment. Supplemental Instruction sessions are seminars held once or twice a week led by a leader who has earned a high grade in the class. Supplemental Instruction seminars do not replace attending lectures. On the contrary, Supplemental Instruction leaders are expected to present the class with examples and questions relevant to class material and guide the class through effective problem solving strategies while encouraging group collaboration and active learning. The goal is not for the leader to act as a tutor but rather for him/her to help students develop productive studying techniques that will maximize their academic success.

The first Solar Eclipse for the New Year of 2010 is happening on January 14th at 11:13 p.m. PST at 26th degree of Capricorn, is pointing to a major crossroad which spotlights our method of our operations, the structure of our thinking and values that need to be transformed or eliminated. With the eclipse making a sextile to Uranus and Mercury conjunct Pluto, square Saturn, it is telling us, to think out of the box to discover new ideas and solutions. To identify the issues and problems and work on the solutions, rather then allowing things to continue as they have been, or a quick fix to the situation which does not eliminate the problem. Jupiter is about to shortly move into Pisces representing spiritual realities, intuition, imagination, the arts, meditation, and occult and metaphysical studies. Jupiter is also concerned with the truth, wisdom, the law, tolerance, reconciliation, and appreciation and enjoyment of life itself.
"The Sabian symbol for the Moon at 26th degree Capricorn is taken from "The Sabian Symbols in Astrology by Marc Edmund Jones", and what follows are my comments.
Capricorn 26 A Water Sprite This is a symbol of a pure mastery of experience in its inner or spiritual aspect, and of the possession of every richness of outer reality in a highly imaginative or personal form. Here the pure integrity of self asserts itself as a protection against blind or inept participation in the current course of events, and calls for a conscious self-idealization in even the most unimportant or transient functions of life. Spontaneity is demanded as a necessary quickening to values. The keyword is restlessness. When positive, the degree is an exceptional sensitiveness to over-all implications and high skill in avoiding drab or commonplace involvements, and when negative, carefree irresponsibility and a dislike of intimacies.
This is explaining to us that we need to be like the nature spirits and experience and feel through the fullest, what life has to offer. That our sense of sight, smell, hearing, touch and taste does not miss any sensation or situation that comes our way, and that through really experiencing every moment, then can we make the right decisions. The word restlessness is a little deceptive, in that it is implying boredom which may be involved, but restlessness that causes us to want to experience the moment and to ever develop new skills to avoid doing things routinely, has no alliance with boredom. In this fast paced world the Universe is telling us to slow down and smell the roses. Until we can do that we cannot make the right decisions for the future, as we do not have all the facts in front of us. The planets are trying to direct us towards a better future by helping us to become aware of our surroundings and environment by being attuned and connected with all that God has created. This Solar Eclipse is asking us to go into our inner holy place and unveil our highest and noblest aspirations for the future and bring it into reality.

Families, staff, and the wider public are being given the chance to give their views on plans looking at local authority provision of residential care for older people.
The South Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnership – which brings together a wide range of health and social work services – is currently considering a range of options for Hillcrest in Girvan and South Lodge in Ayr, with a series of meetings planned for October and November.
More than 800 people use private and publicly run care homes in South Ayrshire, with accommodation for up to 53 residents available at the Council-run Hillcrest and South Lodge Care Homes.
The review was ordered to help the Partnership fully understand the available care home and wider care package provision in South Ayrshire. Feedback from the consultation will help inform decisions about both the way people live now and are supported in future at Hillcrest and South Lodge.
The review will consider the potential impacts of a number of options, including: Maintaining services at Hillcrest and/or South Lodge; Upgrading facilities at Hillcrest and/or South Lodge; The availability and potential for alternative care provision, alongside a carefully managed closure of Hillcrest and /or South Lodge.
Denis Reid, Chairman of Friends of Hillcrest, said: "It is vital that Hillcrest and its staff not only continue the wonderful work they do, but that that it is enhanced to provide up-to-date facilities badly needed in the Carrick area for many years to come. As our local population ages, it is vital that Hillcrest's role in the community is secured. I therefore urge everyone concerned that this review may result in closure of Hillcrest, to both attend the drop in sessions, write in or e-mail Councilllors, officials and the Health Board and make their views known. I urge all of you to take action on this vital matter to our community."
Public drop-in events are at Hillcrest in Girvan on Thursday 27 October 2.30pm-4.30pm and 6.30pm-7.30pm.
Councillor Rita Miller, Chair of the South Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnership Integration Joint Board said every option was being actively considered: "Hillcrest and South Lodge Care Homes play an important role in the provision of residential care in Girvan and Ayr and are highly valued by residents, relatives and the local community.
"This review will make sure we're fully informed about the best ways to support elderly people living in our communities. There are a number of options being considered but, at this point, it must be stressed that no decision has been made and we're actively seeking the views of families, staff, and the wider public to understand the best way of moving forward.
"We've already contacted a wide-range of people to invite them to our drop-in sessions and I would urge anyone with an interest in this important issue to get involved and let us know your thoughts."
As well as the drop-in sessions, families and residents in the care homes have also been offered a one-to-one discussion with the review team.
Anyone not available to attend the event can contact email@example.com to request further information or leave feedback.

I'm on a bit of a health mission at the moment and recently bought myself a juicer from Russell Hobbs. Their website is useless and doesn't list many products at all, but if you can get your paws on one you're in for a treat (I purchased mine at Woolies in Melrose Arch). It's a really great product, affordable, and most importantly quiet (my friends' juicers scream and it's a rather unpleasant experience, not entirely conducive to getting the day of to a zen start).
I've only mastered two variants, one naughty, one nice, but I think you'll like 'em:
1. Fresh Bloody Mary: fresh whole tomatoes, spice and horseradish garnished with home-grown celery [vodka optional ;) ]
2. The Marcus (inspired by a friend): beetroot, pear, carrot, ginger and chilli
I hope you feel inspired.

I want to make up with that getting a video card that works. It doesn't have to be expensive, I'm looking for something below $100.
These are the conditions:
- It must work with Ubuntu 11.04 out of the box, no workarounds, no hacks. This includes desktop effects and virtual terminal resolution.
- It must display video in the native resolution of the LCD (1280x1024). If it doesn't have a VGA port, it must work with a DVI to VGA converter, without issues or workarounds (SNB couldn't).
- It has to perform adequately for light 3D gaming (Minecraft, Lugaru, Quake 4, etc.) for a 1280x1024 resolution.
- It should work well with a 450 W power supply.
- It doesn't need to be a heavy gaming card - it shouldn't take more than one bracket from the tower; but this is not an absolute must.
I've looked at some cards for about 85 bucks: Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT (512 MB GDDR3 VRAM, used), GeForce 9600 GT (1 GB GDDR3 VRAM, used), GeForce 9500 GT (1 GB DDR2 VRAM, new), GeForce GT 240 (1 GB DDR3 VRAM, new), GeForce GT 430 (1 GB GDDR3 VRAM, new); ATI Radeon HD 4670 (1 GB DDR3 VRAM, new) and Radeon HD 5570 (1 GB DDR3 VRAM, new).
Which one do you recommend? Are there any other cards I should look for?
I live in Colombia and card prices tend to be higher than in the US, but if the card you propose works under the conditions described above, we can consider it.

Beacon Equityis pleased to have represented the Stockholder & Board members of Northeast Realty Sign in marketing and sale of the company.
Radiofone of America is in the business of selling and servicing two-way radio communication systems. The company has a full line, dealership agreement with the largest radio manufacturerin the country and they are one of only a few such dealerships in the state. Thebusiness is located in the western suburbs of Boston and they have been operating inthe same location since the start of their ownership.
The full line of two-way radios includes; portable units, mobile radios, repeaters, and stationary radio transmitters. Portable radios are the most popular of all two-way products today; they have the transmitter and receiver in one package, they are lightweightand inexpensive. Their one limitation is power; the radios are rated at 4 to 5watts and are generally effective in a one to two mile geographic radius. The degree ofcommunication effectiveness is largely due to how many building and land obstructionsare between the sender and receiver of the signal. Mobile radios can be effective up to15 miles. They may be mounted within several inconspicuous areas of a car and theycan have a power rating of up to 45 watts. A repeater will enhance or multiply the rangeof portable, mobile, or base station radios. Stationary radio systems are the most powerful of two-way communications. With a 40 to 100 watt transmitter and roofmounted antenna, stationary radios can transmit signals over a 50 mile area.

Post Grad Life
Last May, I graduated college and like some other college kids around the US, I moved home and still live with my parents. The decision to move home was in part because after four years (and watching my little sister grow up), I missed my family and hometown. It was also in part because my dad isn't in the best health so I wanted to be able to spend more time with him. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with my new found freedom from school. I didn't have any job offers or even any leads so after a couple weeks, my dad offered a summer position for me at his company. That lasted for a couple months and I took some inconsistent pet sitting during that as well. But with no further job opportunities (other than a few occasional times of pet sitting), I decided to go back to school and do a certificate program at the local community college, which I quickly realized was not going to be a good fit.
Now, I'm unemployed with no school to go back to. Every day for the past few weeks has felt busy but not productive. I'm constantly doing chores for my parents like cleaning or walking the dog; consistently doing things but not accomplishing anything. Plus, the more strained my relationship with my dad gets, the more I regret moving home.
What's even better is having questions of my future constantly thrown at me from family and friends. To be honest, I don't know what I'm going to do and the societal pressure to be constantly productive is overwhelming. With my depression and anxiety, productivity comes and goes. Some days I'm able to get a lot done – I go on long walks, I write a lot, I get some reading done, I clean, etc. During those days, I feel productive and validated. But that doesn't happen all the time – in fact, it happens very rarely. Most days, I'm barely able to do the minimum to get through and I have no motivation to start things.
Additionally, the more time I spend at home, the more I feel like I'm spiraling down my own rabbit hole of depression and anxiety. I feel trapped in this weird world where I feel like the most formative years I've had never actually happened. I don't feel good enough here, I don't feel like I have anything going for me. I don't know what I'm doing with my life and I don't really have a focus. I want to feel less hollow

Size and direction of page
Personally, it seems to me that this will be a very large and overwhelming page if it is filled out with all the items in the TOC. What about having it as a gathering page, pointing to other cookbook pages that are subs of this? BrettGiles 17:44, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Re: Size and direction of page
I think we should definitely do this, but after the page has grown big. As long as it's not needed, we should stick with one page. The user can now still easily scroll the page. User:chriseidhof.
Focus on Haskell concepts as well as general tasks
I like the idea of selecting typical cookbook tasks and providing haskell code snippets. Also it might be useful to provide examples of certain haskell concepts that may not be related to a specific task, like "how to use Control.Monad", "how to use list comprehensions", "how to use STM" etc,. b7j0c
Re:Focus on Haskell concepts as well as general tasks
As long as the focus is on practical use, yes. I think we should not provide abstract examples, but concrete examples of a practical problem. This is a bit more difficult, but way more interesting for the end-user.

Blogging is one of the most misunderstood elements of search engine optimization. Even today, many marketers still think it's okay to rehash broad content simply to increase word and page counts. This is not the case. Unfortunately the word "content" and "blog post" has been marred through the ages, tarnished by those whose only priority is making money.
I'm going to assume you know your commas from semi-colons and hyphens from periods – if not, best start brushing up on your grammar and punctuation – and focus more on how to broach the process of blogging.
Always Write for People
Never forget the fundamental purpose of search engines: to rank websites based on their quality and relevancy. Google has said time and time again that only quality content will survive in the digital domain. While their algorithm isn't perfect, it's getting better and better each year. According to First Page Rankings it can already detect plagiarized content, even when the words and phrases don't match; it can even rank pages that don't contain the keywords for relevant search terms. Fundamentally, if any writing technique you're using is geared more towards technology than people, stop using it!
Forget About Word Counts
HubSpot state that the optimal word count is between 2100 and 2500 words. However, you should only use this as a guideline. People don't care about word counts, providing the information is accessible and beneficial. If the subject matter calls for it, write 5000 words; if it doesn't, 250 words is also perfectly acceptable. Sometimes even 50 words is enough!
Hire Native Writers
I'm British, but most of my clients are American. That means I have to change my writing style to accommodate the differences. Of course, writing colour instead of color isn't such a big deal (read this article and I'm sure you'll find a hiccup or two), but if you outsource content to somebody, try to at least ensure they're native. The last thing you want is content that has quite clearly been outsourced.
Think Like a Journalist
What makes a journalist? They break stories. At the very heart of it blogging is like having a digital column in a newspaper. And why do people read newspapers? I'll give you a clue, it's in the title: news. When producing blog posts look beyond the Internet, make some phone calls and try to conduct interviews. Insider information will go a long way. If you can break content and be credited as the source, you could not only generate masses of backlinks, but will enhance your reputation as a thought leader.
Don't Write in the Third Person
It's very difficult to add personality to third person writing. Without "you" or "I" how can you expect to break the barrier between writer and reader and build an emotional bond with them? Third person writing is ripe on the Internet, especially among non-native writers. While it can have a place in white papers and technical manuals, it has no place on a blog.
Lose the Corporate Facade
Okay, SEO blogging isn't the most "legitimate" art form – sometimes it may feel like you're a Michelin-starred chef working in McDonalds – but there is still plenty of space for creativity. Don't be afraid to put your own stamp on your articles, even if it is highly personal. Opinions, thoughts, assessments and even random ramblings will resonate with people and prompt them to engage in discussion, which is the most powerful marketing method of all.
You'll never be able to write for people if you set the bar low. Have high expectations and expect people to read your content and you'll subconsciously go the extra mile when producing it. I might not be the most talented writer out there, but I know what I like to read. And whether or not that content was produced by the top brass at The New York Times or an affiliate in his bedroom, if it strikes a chord within me, that's all that matters. And that should always be the end goal for us marketers.

Dallas Police Chief David Brown made his first public appearance Wednesday since his son shot and killed two men, including a Lancaster police officer.
Brown's son, David Brown Jr., was also killed in the Father's Day shootout.
Brown was away from work for two weeks, mourning the death of his son. He spoke at a monthly breakfast meeting to the North Texas Crime Commission Wednesday morning.
The latest news from around North Texas.
City Manager Mary Suhm was on hand to introduce Brown, saying, "I want to tell you that I have complete faith in his ability to deal with this and get through this and lead our city and our public safety efforts, as does the mayor and the council."
Brown began his 10-minute speech by addressing the tragedy.
"The tragedies in Lancaster, in the Lancaster community, has left three families, three police forces, two cities in a horrific state of shock," Brown said.
He said he met with both the Shaw and McMillan families to express his condolences and plans to stay in touch with them.
He said he knew when he was hired on as Dallas police chief that there would be difficult time ahead, but he never expected this.
"I don't believe anyone could have anticipated this type of tragedy committed by my son -- taking two lives and then having his own life taken in such a horrific incident," Brown said. "It hurts deep. It's a deep-rooted hurt."
Investigators said David Brown Jr. was under the influence of PCP and marijuana when he opened fire on 23-year-old Jeremy McMillan. Brown Jr. then shot and killed Lancaster police officer Craig Shaw, who had responded to the shooting.
Shaw fatally shot Brown Jr.
Brown also addressed the controversery surrounding his son's funeral.
Many officers expressed outrage over the decision made by two deputy chiefs to call motorcycle officers to escort Brown Jr.'s funeral procession -- an honor typically reserved for fallen officers or other dignitaries.
"Members of my command staff have come under scrutiny because of the decision made during the funeral procession for my son. Miss Suhm has an investigation from an outside group looking at that circumstance," Brown said. "I fully support that process to ensure objectivity in the outcome and to look at the facts, and we'll take the appropriate action once the investigation is complete."
Now there are questions about why another Dallas police officer was put on "special assignment" to help the chief's family after the shooting. Sgt. Tanga Hampton babysat for the Brown family on the day of Brown Jr.'s funeral.
"I don't begrudge Sgt. Hampton for wanting to help us out," Brown said. "We had a 4-year-old who didn't to go to the funeral home and on to the funeral, and all of my family was there, so there was no one to watch the 4-year-old. We're going to correct it."
Officers are sometimes assigned to assist the grieving family of a fellow officer, but City Manager Mary Suhm said it was not appropriate under this circumstance.
"I don't know for sure whether she was or she was not, but her time sheet will be changed to reflect either W-time (without pay) or if she wants to take vacation time, because it's just not appropriate to be spending time that way," said Suhm.
Meanwhile, Brown said he was happy to get back to work an emotional two weeks.
"Starting today, I'm leading the department," Brown said. "In the future I expect to do a lot of one-on-one conversation sessions with many members of the department, with the association leaders and with the rank and file."

It is not easy to understand the writings of Jean Jacques Rousseau. It takes much thought and patience to read his books. When you finally have figured out what he's trying to say, then you have to decide whether or not you agree with it!
Take his ideas about religion, for example. At the climax of his book, The Social Contract, he carries out a historical analysis concerning the development of the relation between religion and government. He says that in the earliest phases of human history, religion and government were one. He thinks here of the ancient societies in the Fertile Crescent, and of the earliest phases of Greek, Roman, and Egyptian culture. He then identifies the emergence of Christianity as a crisis point in human history, because this new faith wants to separate religion and government. He explains that this is why ancient societies wanted so desperately to kill Christians: they found this new belief intolerable. Rousseau blames Christianity for creating a social split which has never fully healed. To this day, he says, we see religion and government as two separate things. Human society can never be fully at peace until they are reunited.
To further complicate his analysis, he makes the distinction, as do other historians, between the real Christian faith on the one hand, and what most people usually consider to be Christianity on the other. Rousseau winds up rejecting both, though, because they both lead to the social split identified earlier. Rousseau says that the only hope for human society is to get rid of Christianity in any form entirely.
In its place, he has invented his own religion. In contrast to Christianity, it has no basis in historical events; it is a collection of Rousseau's own personal ideas. Rousseau rejects the idea that God would ever freely forgive humans and extend unearned favor toward them. Instead, he wants to teach people that they must earn their own way into heaven, or be damned. Rousseau believes that his religion is central to any chance for a human society to heal itself, so he recommends that we make Christianity illegal, and require everyone to believe Rousseau's theory about God. Anyone who might reject Rousseau's made-up religion should either be exiled or put to death.
The bizarre theory of religion lies at the base of Rousseau's envisioned society, and is a part of his plan to "force people to be free."

Home › Forums › Website SEO › NoFollow External Links In WordPress
This topic contains 0 replies, has 1 voice, and was last updated by mitz 5 years, 10 months ago.
March 31, 2014 at 7:14 am #13995
This is a pretty popular subject so I thought I would run through some different options to nofollow external links.
NoFollow External Links In WordPress Using A Plugin
The first and most easy way is to install a plugin to nofollow all external links. I use WP External Links and it is free of course! I only use this plugin when links on my blog get out of hand. They might have spammy anchor text or be pointing to crappy sites.
This is the easy way out if you need to nofollow quickly because of a Google outbound link penalty.
The first option you can use in this plugin is to open the external link in a new window. This is good if you have forgotten to do this earlier when creating the link.
It gives you options to nofollow all external links from the post or even the whole content. I prefer to choose the post option so the authors bio is still dofollow. You can also nofollow comments, but sometimes this is already done by another plugin.
Nofollow External Links Manually
This option is hard work if you have a big blog with a lot of links to nofollow. But if you are just starting out you should do this for most external links if you can. (Not all links need to be nofollow though)
So a normal link looks like this in the HTML or text section of WordPress:
Lets build websites
But to make it nofollow it needs to look like this:
Lets build websites
Rel stands for relationship and the relationship for this link is now nofollow. I could also add alt text to this link by adding alt="description of link" in the same way I added rel="nofollow".
To change this manually, you have to edit each link individually which is a lot of work.
Nofollow Some Categories or Tags Only
You can put this code into your functions.php file to nofollow all posts with tags in a particular ID number. This works for my Genesis blog but you might have to play with the code to make it work on other frameworks or themes.
function nofollow_cat_posts($text) { global $post; if( has_tag(4201) ) { $text = stripslashes(wp_rel_nofollow($text)); } return $text; } add_filter('the_content', 'nofollow_cat_posts');
You will need to know the exact ID tag of your tag so your target the right one. See more information in this article. The original code comes from here http://www.wpstuffs.com/nofollow-all-links-category-tag/

A deck in good repair not only adds to the resale value of a home, it extends living space into the great outdoors and sets the stage for many hours of family activities. View our decks and gazebos page for more inspiration.
But what happens when your dream deck has turned into disintegrating money pit, overgrown with foliage and invaded by destructive insects and birds?
Kim over at www.sandandsisal.com found herself with exactly this problem. While she and her husband had been busy updating other areas of the home, including their kitchen and family room; much needed outdoor lighting and a front door re-do, their natural wood deck had languished. Carolina Jessamine vines had overrun the space obscuring views and impeding the deck's functionality. The deck railings had become an all-you-can-eat buffet for wood bees and woodpeckers, which was not only unsightly but downright dangerous, what with the structural integrity of the railing being completely compromised by their voracious appetites.
16 Common Wood & Composite Decking Questions Answered
There was no hope of saving the deck railing, it had to go. Kim and her husband demolished the railing, but then had to face the question of what to replace it with. Wood construction would soon fall prey to the same wood bees and woodpeckers; leaving the deck railing-free was not an option. With her active family and frequent entertaining that option could create an insurance liability nightmare.
Before Kim and her husband could tackle that problem however, it was necessary to decide what to do with the deck itself. They could re-stain and reseal the surface with the original natural color, or they could go in an entirely new direction. After giving the deck a thorough cleaning necessary for any stain application to be successful, Kim struck on the idea of extending the color scheme of the interior of the house out onto the deck, making it more warm and welcoming, a natural extension of the kitchen and family room it bordered.
To accomplish this she and her husband chose Solid Color Waterproofing Deck Stain by Behr in Colonial Blue and Bright White. The solid color brightened the deck without creating glare; the colors chosen look gray in sunlight and on overcast days or in the shade, the blue tones become more obvious, a great improvement over the original dark wood stain. Application was accomplished with a roller for the flat surfaces and a four inch wide paint brush for the edges between the deck planks. Resurfacing the deck took two coats of stain, but with Kim and her husband both working on the task, not much time at all.
32 Colorful Painted Decking and Porch Ideas
In order to avoid ever having to deal with deteriorating deck railings again, Kim and her hubby found the perfect solution in vinyl railing available from their local Home Depot store. Self-installation was a snap, and the couple was thrilled with the sturdiness and strength of the new system. No more worries about woodpeckers and wood bees! The white vinyl they chose once again brightens up the area and makes it more welcoming and homey, as well as adding a touch of elegance that the original wood railing could never have managed.

The ladies aren't sharp which is slightly annoying but I was trying to shoot this quick as they were on the move away from the window. Quite a view from the Sunshine 60 building, which used to be Japan's tallest building.
One Comment
Love this one Alfie, I think the slightly out of focus foreground gives it depth and draws the eye to the view, the monochrome works really well.

This Choice was made early in my teen years, my life as an artist has evolved and matured into what I do today, more than 50 years later. Still the center of my life is my art. I have been a full time professional artist since 1972. Those years have allowed me to refine certain abilities, hone my artistic focus and expression and drawing is still the back bone of my developed painting technique as well as my graphic arts career.
In the years 1972 to 1974 I was fortunate to study under the master print maker / art professor Elizabeth Quant in Santa Rosa, California at The Santa Rosa Junior College. My training and apprenticeship under her was fabulous. I consider this training to be as good as it gets. Print making has not been the medium of choice to full use and would apply grant money to outfit my studio with a printing press and equipment and re kindle that wonderful training in my current art studio.
This would in effect telescope my honed drawing abilities into this classic art form printmaking that is today being left behind and is becoming somewhat a lost art.
I have not made etchings or block prints in many years but I am rekindling these art techniques this year. We shall see where it leads me.

Just thought I'd report in on an interesting thing I'm doing this next week.
As collection and processing of e-waste and discarded electronics in Africa reaches worrisome proportions, industry and policy leaders from all over the world are meeting in Cape Town South Africa on June 7th 2013. They will discuss the electronics recycling standards movement that is emerging in several countries and how it is applicable to African electronics recycling and refurbishment industries. The intent of the event is to speed up efforts to address the African e-waste problem in a manner that protects the environment, workers health, and creates economic opportunity. A recent UN study finds that domestic consumption is the main contributor to Africa's growing e-waste problem. Africa now has more mobile phone users than either the U.S. or European Union or Latin America.
This meeting will be at the Cape Town International Convention Centre. The event is sponsored by Microsoft and organized by TechSoup Global, WorldLoop, and Mico E-Waste Solutions. Participants include the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), Basel Conventional Regional Coordinating Centre for Africa for Training & Technology Transfer, Dell, Hewlett Packard, The e-Waste Association of South Africa (eWASA), and R2 Solutions.
Industry, including e-waste recyclers, refurbishers, environmental auditors and consultants, as well as policy leaders from many countries globally will be participating in this event.
"It is important to understand emerging electronic reuse and recycling standards, their strengths and weaknesses in the African context, and build the capacity to utilize them where appropriate. Done well this can create economic opportunities as well as address environmental concerns" said Sean Nicholson, Microsoft 3R Manager.
Industry and policy leaders will share information on the current state of African electronics recycling and refurbishment policy and practice. Special emphasis will be placed on voluntary industry standards like Responsible Recycling (R2) in the US and Weelabex in Europe to assure the responsible recycling of used electronics. The standards include provisions that protect the environment, improve operations, insure worker health and safety, improve data security, and successfully compete in the world market.
The intention of the event is to join industry and government in putting into action some of the precepts developed at the 2012 United Nation's Pan-African Forum on E-Waste in Nairobi, Kenya. A particular outcome is to ensure some of the attendees are able to make decisions on offering reuse and recycling services that align with best practice principles that are part of these standards.

Reading food labels can be confusing!
So to help you, I've stripped it all back and put together the following guide on how to read food labels. You can use this guide to help you choose healthy foods for yourself and your family. And remember too, some of the healthiest foods, like fresh fruit and vegetables, nuts, lentils & beans, don't always have food labels.
How To Read Food Labels
STEP 1 – Don't Rely Solely On Nutrition Claims
Just because a food label has the words natural / healthy / sugar-free / reduced fat / cholesterol-free etc, doesn't mean that it's healthy! Here is a list of the different nutrition claims that you might find on a food label, what they mean & what you need to consider about them:
- Lite or Light: this doesn't mean the food is lower in calories or sugar! Lite can mean the food is lite in colour or taste. Always check the ingredients list (see step 2).
- Low Fat: this means the food must have 3g of fat or less per 100g. However this doesn't make it healthy. Often low-fat foods have a portion of the fat content removed and have sugar added instead. Always make sure you check the ingredients list.
- No Added Sugar: this means there has been no sugar "added" to the product. However it may still be high in sugar, so check the ingredient's list and look for all the different names sugar may be listed under (see step 4).
- Fat Free: this means the food must have 0.15g fat or less per 100g food. Always think twice about fat free products because there are fats that our body actually needs to stay healthy. Learn more about which fats are healthy here
- Diet / Low Joule: this means the food is either low in sugar and/or fat. However "diet" foods are often low in nutrition (i.e. vitamins, mineral, protein, fibre etc) and artificially sweetened. I'd recommend putting these back on the shelf.
- High Fibre: this food must have more than 3g of fibre per 100g and is a good choice. It's still good to check the ingredients list though for other added ingredients like sugar.
- No Added Salt: this means the food has no 'added' salt but may still be high in salt. Where possible though, it's always good to opt for the no-added salt versions of foods etc.
- Salt Reduced: this means the food has 25% less salt than a similar product. Lower salt is good but you can compare the salt content of foods using step 4.
- Low Salt or Low Sodium: this means the food must have less than 120mg sodium per 100g. This is often the best choice if you're watching your salt intake.
STEP 2 – Check The Ingredients List
The key to reading the ingredients list is to know that ingredients are listed in descending order of weight. Basically this means what makes up most of the product is listed first, and what makes up least of the product is listed last!
If you look at the ingredients list below, you can see that sugar is the first ingredient on the list. This means that sugar makes up most of this product. Next comes wheat flour, then vegetable oil & cocoa butter. A good guide is to avoid processed foods that sugar, fats, salt and other additives listed in the first couple of ingredients.
STEP 3 – Know The Different Names For Sugar, Fat & Salt
Sugar = glucose, sucrose, fructose, dextrose, maltose, glucose syrup, lactose, molasses, syrup, malt extract, raw sugar, brown sugar, honey, golden syrup, rice malt syrup, maple syrup, modified carbohydrate, corn sweetener, corn syrup, fruit juice concentrates,high-fructose corn syrup, invert sugar, cane crystals, cane sugar, crystalline fructose, evaporated cane juice, corn syrup solids and malt syrup.
Salt = sodium, vegetable salt, Himalayan salt, rock salt, onion salt, celery or garlic salt, MSG, yeast extracts, booster, stock, baking soda & sodium bicarbonate
Fat = oil, butter, margarine, milk solids, cream, shortening, tallow, lard, dripping, copha, monoglycerides & diglycerides.
STEP 4 – Check The Nutrition Information Panel
The nutrition information panel contains information about the energy & nutrients in a food product.
As a very general guide, aim for the following on the nutrition information panel. Note that his will not apply to all food or food groups, but can be a very basic guide:
- Sodium (salt) – choose foods with less than 120mg per 100g
- Total Fat – choose foods with less than 10g per 100g. For milk, yogurt and icecream, choose less than 2g per 100g & cheese, choose less than 15g per 100g.
- Saturated Fat – choose foods with less than 3g per 100g.
- Sugar – content per 100g is more than 15g, check that sugar (or alternative names for added sugar) is not listed high on the ingredient list.
- Fibre – choose breads and cereals with more than 3g of fibre per serve.
STEP 5 – Compare Similar Products by the 100g column
You can compare the nutrition content of 2 similar products, for example packs of cereal, by looking at the 100g column on the nutrition information panel. In the nutrition information panel below, the 100g column is circled & you could compare the total fat, saturated fat & sugars to another pack of biscuits to see which one would be a better choice.

These were mentioned in the Note 8 thread.
I investigated and they seemed like a good idea. The application system is thorough and well designed. However...from my personal experience I am posting this warning.
Be EXTREMELY sure that the surface you are using to rest the phone on whilst going through the application process is level. I repeat - be EXTREMELY careful about this.
The adhesive they use has the consistency of water. It will run in any direction where there is the slightest hint of a slope. I used a bubble level and a bubble level app and was satisfied the table was for all intents and purposes level and yet the liquid still ran to one side of the phone.
If it runs off the edge of the phone, it will catch in the tray that is used as part of the application system and...stick the tray and your phone together! This did not happen to me, but the potential certainly exists. Fortunately the adhesive is easily cleaned off.
Once done it looks excellent and is (apparently) easily and cleanly removed if need be.
