Since we are a referral platform we often get asked about influencer marketing too. Though the two are different, they both utilize word of mouth and often have the same end goal in mind (to increase leads).
We thought we'd get some expert advice on marketers who have used influencer marketing and that are familiar with the process for their advice on being successful with influencer marketing.
What is influencer marketing?
Influencer marketing is when someone who is considered an 'expert' or is well-known in the field, uses their reputation to help you market your product. (Unlike referral programs which focus on using your customers to spread the word).
Typically speaking, influencers have a certain 'influence' over their followers as they are seen as trustworthy sources within their niche. They use this influence to persuade and get others excited about your brand.
Many influencers use social media, blogs, and video to help get out their message. Between custom content made for specific brands, to hashtags, to simple shoutouts, an influencer has a variety of avenues to talk about your brand.
Influencer marketing statistics
There are a ton of influencer marketing statistics already out there. But, we wanted to see if we could come up with similar findings to prove that influencer marketing is as effective as they say.
We received 47 responses to our survey. We had quite a range of business types respond the long list includes, transportation, digital marketing, entertainment, finance, agencies, eCommerce, tech, health, travel, home, P2P, SaaS, subscription, enterprise, and public relations.
We were thrilled with the spread! Even with the wide variety of respondents, we saw a few common factors…
Influencer marketing is king compared to display advertising
Influencer statistics stand true. For one of our questions, we asked the marketers to compare influencer marketing to other forms of marketing. Two things stood out.
- We found that many believed display advertising to be less effective than influencer marketing. Which aligns with numerous other studies that mention people trust the recommendations from those they know compared to typical ads.
- We also saw that more marketers than not felt content marketing is more effective than influencer marketing.
Content marketing is more likely to take over 25% of a marketing budget
Another thing we wanted to know was where marketers planned on spending their budgets. With the increase of influencer type programs out there, we wondered if marketers accounted for spending their budgets there.
To get a good feel for where people planned on spending their budgets, we asked where marketers planned on spending at least 25% of their overall marketing budget.
The respondents were able to choose multiple options, but what we found was that around half of marketers said they would be spending at least 25% of their marketing budget on content marketing. Influencer marketing (18%) and social media marketing (16%) followed behind content marketing.
Those who plan on using a service will spend more time on influencer marketing
It's worth noting that the majority (70%) of respondents said they would be finding influencers on their own.
However, what we found was that a bigger portion of those who are going to use a service to find influencers said they were more likely to spend 20+ hours a week doing so. Verse those who plan on doing the work of finding influencers on their own where more than half of the respondents said they only planned spending less than 10 hours a week on influencer marketing.
The most popular influencer is someone who is well-known in that niche
If you're browsing the web, you might often see famous influencers promoting products. What you might not realize is that a lot of other people including everyday users are also promoting products and helping brands gain exposure.
However, most brands want people well-known in their niche to show off their products. 68% of respondents mentioned that they want those who are "well known in my niche" to be their influencers.
So for instance, a popular beauty blogger (or someone who posts content relating to beauty who has a lot of social media followers) might be picked up by a makeup brand to promote a new product instead of someone who posts content aimed at tech and business. And that works both ways, an influencer might only want to work with brands in their niche.
Even more so influencers and brands might hone in on a specific angle. For instance, a regular makeup brand might not be appealing to someone who prefers using organic and natural products.
Conversions are the number one way on how ROI will be measured
How do most people associate that their influencer marketing is working? We found that marketers don't strictly count on one thing to see whether or not their influencer program is working. Instead, the majority of respondents mentioned using a variety of measurements.
72% of marketers mentioned that conversions were what they were measuring for success.
Website traffic was just after that, with 64% of respondents saying they used it to measure whether or not their influencer marketing is working.
Only 23% of respondents said Mentions were to be used to determine success, making them the least likely option chosen.
Majority rules – most influencer programs use a mix on content
68% of marketers say that content for their influencer marketing is a mix of content. Meaning they may have specific details their influencers must mention, but the execution of the content is up to the influencer.
Some brands 19% said that their influencers did have complete freedom to come up with content. Meaning the brand doesn't persuade them or give them criteria to follow. While 17% of brands supplied their influencers with the exact content they want shared.
Here's how to successfully do influencer marketing
Before we dig too far into tips on running a successful influencer program, we thought it would be worth noting that an influencer software can make the whole process of finding influencers, tracking their work, to issuing incentives and payments much easier than doing it on your own.
Check out our influencer software list.
Here are some of our expert's suggestions on what software works for them:
Heepsy's Patricia Garay, mentions "The possibility of finding influencers with tools like Heepsy makes it easier to track them and filtered them". She adds in that "Influencer Marketing has been successful because influencers are people that customers trust".
Affan Vohra from BestVPN.co chimes in by saying that you can reach out to influencers via email, but the chances of having your email seen are slim with the amount they probably receive. "I suggest using Boomerang for Gmail". He also goes on to say, "Moreover, Twitter is another way you can engage with your targeted influencers". But if you are wanting an easier way to find influencers, "Followerwonk is a great tool to find influencer, search Twitter bios, categorize influencer with engagement and active followers, this will help you to cater and engage on the most fruitful Influencer".
Let's dive in to cover the tips we've learned for running a successful influencer marketing program.
1. Set specific goals beforehand
You need to have a set goal in mind before you even start your influencer program. You understand the benefits of using influencers, but if you don't define what you're wanting to accomplish with your program before starting, your program can fizzle and you might not reach the potential you could have.
Mike Liera from The Arena Gym says "Defining your goals is a critical step in influencer marketing that is often overlooked". He mentions "Whether it is clicks, impressions, conversions, or followers, you have to discuss with the influencer what your goals are on both ends, and tailor your campaign to hit those goals".
By having goals in mind, you can create a program that works. Laura Gonzalez of AutoNation says "If your goals are too vague, you might not get the results you want to see. The goals you set are going to determine what tactics you decide to use for the campaign".
Laura gives an example, "if you want to increase brand awareness you might consider using tactics including sponsored content, gifting an influencer or doing a giveaway". She adds, "The success of your campaign relies heavily on the results you want".
Michelle Zaporojets from Marr Media Group simply states "Expectations". She goes on to add, "When discussing expectations, you (as the brand) need to be clear about what type of post needs to go up, by what date, and what captions/hashtags you expect". She adds that if you don't define your expectations "you're likely going to be left with a game of cat & mouse, chasing down the influencer for a post".
Flushing NY Real Estate LLC's Matthew Reischer explains that "Managing the message of the campaign so that there is a narrow communications message is key to a successful influencer marketing strategy".
He adds that "The influencer should have some autonomy so their communication is authentic but the scope of the communication should be expressly defined and enumerated".
Another aspect of defining your expectations is that it creates efficiency. Fab Giovanetti from Whole Influence says "Create a clear flow of communication with influencers when it comes to professional standards, contracts and agreement. This is always helping influencers taking things more seriously altogether and delivering efficiently".
2. Give a reason to share in the first place
If you want to get people to share you give them a reason to do so. Learndojo's Sajan Devshi explains "One tactic that has made influencer marketing really successful is giving away a service or product for free".
Sajan mentions "For example, working in the education sector, our influencers are also our customers which are teachers and students. By giving away our service for free to a handful of them, they are likely to spread our brand to others who are our target audience (other teachers and students) and this helps with growth".
He further explains, "This works well within particular niches where you have potential customers in such close contact regularly (within classrooms with a common goal such as education. This type of approach is likely to be effective in some particular markets more than others, however".
Brian Horn of Authority Media Group, LLC mentions "The right influencer can make a world of difference for your business by enhancing your reputation and spreading your brand to their audience". With that being said, he goes on to say "So, a good tactic is to give influencers a reason to share you and your brand".
His biggest tip is, "I don't recommend going for big "celebrity entrepreneurs", because they are bombarded with messages and tags every day. Instead, choose ones that are leaders in their specific niche of a market".
Pedro Okoro from Astute Copy Blogging explains that influencer marketing is both effective and cost-conscious. "Here is the truth you already know: competition for both SEO and SEM traffic is notoriously brutal and fierce. However, we've found influencer marketing to be cheaper and quite effective".
He mentions that linking to these influencers gives them a reason to share. He says "When we write some blog posts, we target specific influencers in the particular niche. We do this either by interviewing and quoting them or just writing the article around their most cherished ideas or philosophy. We then reach out to them and ask them to link to the post".
Big Berkey Water Filters' Dan DeBaun explains that adding something fun can be enough. "Usually a giveaway creates the most engagement. It's an old strategy, but extremely effective because everyone wants something free".
He mentions that by doing a giveaway "Engagement is always higher and we feel it keeps the product on the mind of the visitor for longer periods of time, as they wait for the winner to be announced".
He includes some solid advice saying "It's also a key practice that we follow up with those who engaged with our influencer post giveaway".
3. Be open to experiencing other mediums
Most people assume influencer marketing campaigns yield the best results on platforms like Instagram. But, that isn't always the case. You might want to be open to exploring other options, as your business type may benefit elsewhere.
Take a look at what your customers use, and try drill into that one most. Yasir Haseeb of Tekrevol mentions "Choosing the right social media channel which supports your end goals is very important for the success of your influencer marketing campaign".
You may even try different content types for each medium, like hosting a podcast. For example, Jessica Dais of TakeLessons Live explains "We've seen huge success having YouTube influencers in our niche do a review-style video of our product. This works much better than when they simply mention our product in a video or call us out as a sponsor".
Videos and Instagram posts aren't the only ways your program can thrive. Nooria Khan from GigWorker mentions "The ONE best thing we have done to make an influencer marketing campaign successful is through Podcasting".
She says "Podcasting is one of the best kind of influencer marketing. By providing valuable informational content through podcasts to your audience will help you to not only be recognized as influencer but also as the go-to expert, authority, and thought-leader in your industry".
If you aren't sure a podcast is worth it, she chimes in by saying "Also, around 29% of monthly podcast listeners are affluent people with a household income of $75,000 or more. As you are answering queries of these people while keeping their needs in mind, you eventually stand out as an influencer and expert in your industry".
Mavens & Moguls Paige Arnof-Fenn adds to that, explaining that on top of exploring different mediums and platforms, you may want to try a variety of influencers. "Instead of just focusing on the most popular/branded individual influencers, include internal experts, micro-influencers, niche experts prospects, and customers in your influencer marketing mix".
She adds, "Getting multiple perspectives and insights always enriches the discussion and generates more activity online".
4. Create a sense of exclusivity
Giving people the VIP treatment can make them want to talk about you. People like being on exclusive lists, and being 'in the know' when it comes to their favorite brands.
Shawn Lim from Traffic Bees explains "One thing I have seen that makes an influencer campaign extremely successful is making use of exclusivity to a more connected audience with the influencer".
Shawn talks about an example, "Mini Cooper had limited edition Coopers and only made the first available to the followers of Chinese influencer, Becky Li".
Get this, "Becky managed to sell 100 mini Coopers in just five minutes, which is a great indicator of how successful the campaign is based on conversions. Becky attributed the success of this campaign to how connected her audience was with her because and they all shared the same tastes and interests".
By using an influencer who has a good relationship with her followers, and setting the parameters of the program to be pretty exclusive, they managed to sell a good handful of cars in just a few minutes!
5. Consider the quality of your influencers followers
When you think of influencers you imagine a famous or well-known person with tons of followers. What you don't think about is the quality of followers that person has.
Quality, however, is far more important than quantity, however. Especially if you are wanting people to trust you as a brand.
Extrabrains Illia Termeno says "When choosing influencers for your campaigns, it's better to take into account the quality of their following, rather than the quantity because the true power of influencer marketing is in the micro-influencers – people with special interests and smaller audiences".
Illia explains "Big following and actual influence and engagement are not always correlated". She gives insight "Research revealed that micro-influencers often generate a higher engagement rate than celebrity influencers because their audiences share their specific interests and values".
She adds that "micro-influencers are more affordable", and that "You should partner with influencers who can truly have an impact on your target audience".
Sadi Khan from RunRepeat, adds to that saying "It is important to look for influencers with high engagement rate compared to the ones with a high follower count". Further explaining "It is easy to get new followers but difficult to keep them engaged".
Sadi mentions, "High engagement rate means that the influencer is capable of creating great content on a regular basis. These are the kind of influencers you should be aiming for. Because metrics like impressions or reach will add nothing to your bottom line".
Quality doesn't always mean big quantity
Natalie Athanasiadis from Ormi Media says "Don't just look at the total number of followers an influencer has on social media, you need to dig deeper".
She says "Just as you would any other digital marketing activity that comes with a cost you want to be generating value for money. So things I have found incredibly valuable in our campaigns is not just reviewing how many followers a profile has, but looking at who the followers are".
She adds "You will also want to do this with the influencer's blog. What kinds of keywords are they found with, if for example its all fashion but your site is about travel then it may not be the best fit. This is the key to success with influencer marketing".
Keeping that in mind, you may want to consider more niche influencers. Like a micro-influencer.
Patrick Brightman from 3E Public Relations suggests "We have seen greater success working with micro-influencers because they tend to have a more targeted and engaged following".
By focusing on micro influencers you can aim closer to your target. He says "This is important for the programs we implement for our clients, as it ensures we are reaching the proper audience without a lot of waste".
Because you hit on your target better, he mentions "Those followers also tend to take greater action as there is a stronger bond with the micro-influencer because they tend to engage with their followers. They also are usually more receptive to innovative approaches, recommendations, and partnerships that add a level of creativity that can lead to better success".
6. Pick an influencer who makes sense for your brand
You have to use influencers that match your message. Katherine Rowland from YourParkingSpace explains "One of the most important factors in Influencer Marketing is making sure the influencer you are working with fits your brand".
She says "Now this works both ways. On your side, you want an influencer who fits your brand and who you would be confident promoting your product to their responsive audience. On the other side, a lot of influencers, particularly those with a smaller, more devout following, will be unwilling to work with brands that do not fit with their content as they know that their followers will see right through it. Therefore, it is important to do your research about what influencers are within your area, and what kind of brands they have worked with previously".
Jamie Cheng from Digital Alpha Agency adds on to that saying "The ones that are highly-successful usually engage influencers that are in the same niche as the company" . She explains "On top of that, the influencers chosen should be passionate about the brand too. It makes everything much more authentic and an easier process too".
Matthew Ross from RIZKNOWS LLC says "They key thing is to focus on a specific niche. We've had much more success by concentrating on a specific category rather than going broad".
By focusing on people within your niche you get better content. He says "We've found that the audiences that follow niche influencers and websites are much more engaged than followers of more mainstream influencers and websites".
Imaginaire Digital's Charlie Worrall adds that people who already use your products can have a real impact. "The best way to develop an influence marketing strategy is to find someone that either already uses your products or someone that likes the products you make anyway".
By using someone who actually makes sense for your brand, you avoid seeming insincere. He says "The worst part of influencer marketing is how fake it all is, most people will be able to tell when there is a paid advertisement is a social media post or video. The acting involved, especially in an audio-visual advert is likely to be of poor quality and so, the conversion rate will be lower".
He ends by saying "Looking for an influencer that already has an interest in your brand means they're already passionate about it which means that they'll sound genuine when recommending it to their views".
Though it's important to find an influencer that matches your brand, it's important to make sure they are with good standing with their followers as well. Catherine Nichols from Numesko mentions "Influencers should not have bad reviews". She goes on to say "The influencer I choose should represent my brand. For this purpose, I do thorough research for the right influencer".
BeeSmart Social Media's Eileen Schlesier mentions that working with a local influencer can also be a smashing hit. She refers to "Working with a local influencer who had an existing relationship with local media was a huge plus for our KOGAbucha campaign".
She adds "Emily Kyle brought a relatable voice to an unknown new local product. Her authority and trust transferred to our product. Customers walked into our brick and mortar hours after the airing mentioning they learned about us on the TV spot".
So be open to who is a good fit for you. It may be a niche influencer, just as it could be a local celebrity.
7. Make sure your influencers are on board with what you want
Picking your influencers isn't the end of the work you have have to do. You have to communicate what you're wanting from them and continue to work with them through the process. Joe Delbridge from GeekSmash says "The one thing that we do that we feel makes a big difference is to have onboarding calls with new influencers, especially if we're looking to them to be an ambassador for one of the brands that we represent".
He mentions that "Taking the time to speak with them helps to strengthen the relationship, which can lead to a better experience overall for everyone".
McKinzie Bean from Moms Make Cents says "One thing that helped us have more successful campaigns was putting creating a welcome packet for each influencer. This included information about the product, frequently asked questions about the product, key points to cover in their post, and additional resources (ex. logos, graphics, etc.) for them to use in their promotions".
She adds that aside from providing a welcome packet, they have had a lot of success with micro-influencers. "Our most successful campaign ever came from an influencer with a smaller following. She had a very engaged audience and created high-quality social media posts and blog posts and her conversions were through the roof".
Anne Polland from Novella Brandhouse says to make sure you are communicating with influencers. "The biggest thing when working with influencers is communication. Making sure that they are on the same page with us and we have met their expectations for working with us". She says "If there are specific restrictions, it's important to note that in the scope of the project so they aren't surprised and don't violate the terms of the contract. It's a mutual business networking opportunity".
Intellifluence's Joe Sinkwitz agrees that having influencers know what is expected is key. He says "One of the most impactful ways that we've used influencer marketing to grow our own influencer marketing platform is to create a high level of useful content that guides a new influencer on how to get started and succeed, then walks that user through how to do so with us (for free)".
He ends by saying, "After that point, we simply ask that in exchange they help us spread the word — this simple ask has resulted in tens of thousands of new influencers to work with".
8. Use multiple influencers to supercharge your message
Is proof really in the numbers? We think so. Perhaps instead of putting all your eggs in one basket, you hire a herd of influencers. This can help you tackle even more ground in the long run.
Jonathan Gorham from Engine Scout, says "A round-up campaign where we organized multiple influencers to post on Instagram at the same time" has been beneficial. He adds "This created a lot of hype for one on my e-commerce customers and spiked their product sales".
Julien Malet from Online Optimism gives a great example of how multiple influencers can supercharge your message. "I ran an influencer campaign with a client 1 of the Blazers to get local influencers suited up in the brand's "painted blazers". We reached out to a number of professional athletes and musicians and were able to get several New Orleans Saints players and artists performing at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in 2018. In addition, we received media publicity from local influencers wearing their blazers to events or while on air".
Lead Gen Hype's Lisa Fox agrees and explains, "Approach numerous micro influencers in a niche market to get the word out about a brand. Creating a small community of fans based around your product is worth way more than a singular post by a mega influencer".
9. Let influencers have creative freedom
Influencers can do a lot for you. The best part is, you build up a variety of content. This user-generated content can increase traffic and increase your word of mouth.
Danica Kombol from Everywhere Agency says "Influencer marketing is successful when the brand recognizes and celebrates the fact that influencers are real people, creating their own authentic content, in their own voice".
She mentions "It's a highly successful marketing tool but NEVER works when you try to automate it or dictate content that you want the influencer to regurgitate".
Christmas Central's Laura Gordon adds on to that saying "The trick is finding an influencer who is a true partner and cares about what you are trying to execute".
She says they work on creating a close-knit group that they can consider partners "We only look for long term partners. We include a few keywords and hashtags". This allows them to trust their content creation, she adds "We trust them to stylize the photos and provide an honest review of our products. Authenticity is important. We work to create trust and transparency".
She adds that by working with the same influencers has other benefits too, "Repetition with the same influencers is helping us build our brand. We believe you have to see a name a few times until you take a chance".
11. Use influencers who actually like your products
Finding an influencer that matches your space means they will likely enjoy your product. And that shines through in the content they create. Stacy Caprio from Colorful Eyes says "When the influencer actually enjoys the product, it shines through and their audience can tell. That's when you start to see traffic and conversions".
Lauren Crain from HealthLabs.com says "Probably the biggest thing is having influencers who are genuinely excited about our product and having them use the product". She adds "Seeing an influencer try the product provides our potential customers with a view of how the product performs in real time".
KPOP Foods' Theo Lee suggests getting potential influencers to try beforehand. He says "We typically send our sauces to the influencer ahead of time to see what he or she thinks before discussing a potential partnership".
He says this helps because then they can filter out who is an isn't a real fan of the product, "I think this is important because if the influencer isn't a really big fan of the product, it shows in the final piece of content".
This is great because real fans create longer content. Theo says "Also, instead of just looking for short forms of content, we've actually had more success with longer forms of content, such as 8-10 minute Youtube video".
Mikaella King from Blinds Direct adds that "Researching to find the right influencer is key to your success".
By choosing a person within your niche, you'll likely have better content. Mikaella explains that you wouldn't want an influencer that doesn't know anything about your niche. "You need to make sure that the influencer you pick will attract the right target audience that you want. If you are a home brand, you don't want to be picking a makeup influencer as this wouldn't work in your niche".
12. Build a long-lasting relationship to get the most out of it
Sometimes you can earn influencers by just having a good relationship with them from the start. G2 Crowd's Levi Olmstead says "Networking with other content marketers in my niche who have large audiences. By connecting with them and staying on top of their new content, I'm able to share and engage with that content".
He adds that "By helping promote that content, over time a relationship is built between an influencer and myself, which works in a reciprocal marketing manner".
Nika Wolf's very own Nika Underwood explains that she's worked on influencer programs of all magnitudes, to include ones with influencers like the Kardashians and Jenners.
She says "One thing most brands miss is that they are doing mass campaigns with small accounts that post once and the collaboration is completed". She adds "We prefer to work long term with every influencer that shows professionalism, as it builds not only our relationship with the influencer but their followers trust them more when they keep endorsing the same product for a long time".
Anamaria Scuric of Travelpreneur Tribe explains "One of the key things when building an influencer marketing campaign is to take the time to build a real and genuine relationship to see if we are a good fit for each other".
Anamaria mentions that influencers typically receive a lot in their inbox, so you have to really stand out. "Start by following them on social media, commenting on their posts, asking questions and being truly engaged". She says "Once when the relationship has been established and you know they have seen and interacted with you, then you can reach out with a proposal that would be mutually beneficial". She also advises making your interactions personalized.
Jeff Rizzo from The Slumber Yard states "The biggest thing that we've done is befriend influencers". He adds "This way we are always top-of-mind and their comments about us remain largely positive".
To kick it up a notch, he says to take your time building the relationship. "We understand that they get dozens of pitches per day—most of which do not even take the time to investigate their audience—so we make sure to take the extra time, which has really improved our hit rate".
In conclusion
With all this information we have learned how to create a successful influencer marketing campaign. Finally, you'll want to be sure you are prepared for the traffic that it can lead to. Theo Ellis from Anime Motivation mentions "Prepare for the aftermath. Naturally, you're bound to have an influx of traffic".
He reminds us that the hard work you put in can pay off. But that you should prepare all the way around, "Depending on who you're dealing with (or how many) the traffic will vary. That being said – if your website's resources aren't prepared for it, and you haven't prepared in other ways (conversions, etc) the results are bound to be weaker. Or worse in the case of a website crashing".
What we've learned is that you need to set specific goals, find the right people, and develop a real relationship with them. Then continue your relationship in the long run, as influencers who continually support you tend to yield better results.

Have you and your students tried team-based learning? Team-based learning, or TBL, is a method of teaching where students learn fact-based material before class, and then work together in the classroom to apply concepts and ideas to solve problems, with the instructor's guidance. Watch a video explanation or read more.
At Duke, faculty are using team-based learning in a variety of courses. Meet some of them:
Pelin Volkan (Biology and Duke Institute for Brain Sciences) teaches her Developmental Neurobiology course using TBL. She says:
Team based learning turned my students into real scientists. There is nothing more rewarding than having junior and senior students coming up with ideas in 10 minutes that have been published in journals like Cell, Science and Nature.
Leonard White (Physical Therapy and Duke Institute for Brain Sciences) leads his Functional Neuroanatomy course with TBL. He says:
TBL has energized students for discovery and learning by capitalizing on what they do best: mobilizing resources, collaborating in small groups, and applying their collective fund of knowledge to real-life problems. In Functional Neuroanatomy (NEUROSCI 173S), students were challenged to acquire core content relevant to the day's learning objectives before they came to class, so that in class they can affirm or correct their knowledge base through teamwork. Once their understanding of the day's neuroanatomical system is reinforced and elaborated through assessment and discussion, students progressed to the laboratory phase of the session where they explored the organization of that system with hands-on studies of human brain specimens. In this TBL approach, the final phase of application provides students with an opportunity for consolidation of learning and further discovery, all in the same course session.
Will Dr. White continue to teach using TBL? Here's what he says:
My Functional Neuroanatomy course was entirely in TBL format. In the DPT program, we have re-engineered our entire curriculum to run in teams, with TBL being the vehicle for the basic science year and the clinical science/interventions year. As if that weren't enough, I am now the course director for the MS1 course, Brain and Behavior, and that too will be re-engineered in a TBL framework. So I have completely thrown myself into the fires of TBL!
Craig Roberts (Duke Institute for Brain Sciences) says:
Team-based learning is enabling my students to move beyond memorizing information to developing a functional understanding of the subject matter. Seeing Introductory Psychology (PSY 11) students critically analyze recent scientific articles is inspirational. I'm excited to continue employing TBL to push the limits of what's possible in the undergraduate classroom.
A version of TBL called TeamLEAD has been used very successfully for graduate medical education at Duke-NUS, Duke's partnership with the National University of Singapore.
In addition, seven faculty members in Doctor of Physical Therapy program are working with the Center for Instructional Technology to apply team based learning approaches to six courses that will comprise the first and second years of the clinical education component.

The strange patterns on a cantaloupe may as well be a map of Pluto for many shoppers. Unlock the secrets of this musky fruit and learn how to leave the store with a ripe, sweet bounty.
Part 1
Choosing a Cantaloupe
1Look for signs of decay. Take a look at the bin, shelf, or box the cantaloupes are being stored in. If there are flies or other insects around it, or there is juice leaking out and covering the fruits, it's probably a good idea to buy your melon elsewhere.
- Avoid melons with punctures, dents, or brown or black patches.
- If there's only one patch of discoloration, this is probably where the melon rested on the ground, or where it was sunburned. This will usually not affect the taste.[1]
2Check the rind color and webbing. A ripe cantaloupe has a yellow, tan, or cream-colored rind. This is covered with a webbed pattern, which has some areas that are more pronounced and raised off the surface.[2] A grey-green rind covered by a flat web means the cantaloupe is unripe.[3]
- Some newer varieties may stay green even when ripe.[4] If every cantaloupe in the pile is green, try looking up the variety name online or asking a store employee.
3Examine the stem end carefully. Never buy a cantaloupe with a rough or torn end, a lumpy end protruding from the fruit, or one that has nubs of stem still attached. These were picked too early, and will have poor flavor. Instead, look for a melon with a smooth, round "belly button" depression at one end instead.[5]
- Although you can feel this end for the slight give that indicates ripeness, this is an unreliable test and can cause bruising. Do avoid melons with a wet, leaking end.
4Heft and tap the cantaloupe. The melon should be heavy for its size. It should be firm, but not rock hard. Tap it and listen for a low, solid sound. A high, hollow sound is a bad sign.[6]
- Stay alert for signs of an overripe melon: a sticky surface, damp patches or bruises, or a sloshing sound when moved.[7]
5Feel and smell the blossom end. A little give at the blossom end (opposite the stem end) is ideal.[8] More importantly, it should have a pleasant, sweet smell, akin to flowers. An overpowering sweetness may mean the fruit is overripe and fermented.
- The smell of alcohol or acetone (nail polish remover) means the melon is very fermented.
- To avoid getting a melon with a mushy interior, press it gently all over. Is it firm? If you feel any soft spots or dimples, it will be mushy.
Part 2
Storing and Handling Cantaloupe
1Store cantaloupe in the refrigerator. The cold temperature will reduce the chance of bacterial growth, and keep the melon crisp. Keep the melon between 36 and 40ºF (2.2–5ºC) for best results.[9] (Most likely, the crisper drawer of your refrigerator already falls in this range.)
- You may store an unripe melon for a couple days at room temperature. Once ripe, refrigeration is highly recommended for health reasons.
- The strong smell can cling to other items in the refrigerator. Store the melon in a closed glass or plastic container to prevent this.
2Wash hands when handling cantaloupe. There have been several outbreaks of Salmonella and other bacteria from cantaloupes, partly because consumers are not aware they should be cautious.[10] Wash your hands with soapy water after transporting your cantaloupe home. Wash your hands again before and after cutting the melon.
3Scrub the melon before cutting. The melon rind often contains bacteria that may be pushed onto the fruit by the knife. The webbed pattern can make it difficult to wash off the bacteria, so rub it thoroughly with a clean brush or your fingers instead. Hold the melon under running water as you do this.[11] Pat it dry with paper towels when finished.
- Do not wash the melon in advance. Even a little moisture and softened rind can lead to mold growth.
- Do not use soap, which the melon can absorb through the rind.
4Cut the melon. Use a clean knife and cutting board. Cut in half from the blossom end to the stem end, scrape out the seeds, then cut into slices.[12] Wash all knives and surfaces once you're done enjoying the cantaloupe.
5Peel and store leftovers. Do not leave cut cantaloupe out for more than four hours; some guidelines recommend no more than two.[13][14] Cut the flesh away from the peel and store covered in the refrigerator.[15]
- Alternatively, freeze cantaloupe flesh in between layers of wax paper. For best flavor, serve within one month, partially thawed. To preserve flavor and color longer, cover in sugar or sugar syrup before freezing.[16]
Community Q&A
QuestionMy grandmother always said to shake it and listen for loose seeds to tell when it's ripe. Is this true?Community AnswerHave you tried it? It may be true; I test cantaloupe by smelling the bottom of the melon. If it smells like melon, it's ripe.
QuestionWill cantaloupe continue to ripen if it is left out of the refrigerator?Community AnswerIf the cantaloupe has not yet been cut, it will continue to ripen if left unrefrigerated. However, if your cantaloupe is cut and left out, it has a higher chance of mold growth and overripeness.
QuestionCan you eat the cantaloupe if it has an alcohol taste?Community AnswerThe smell of alcohol in fruit means the melon is fermented, which may be bad for you (depending on the type of fruit and how long it has been fermenting).
QuestionHow can I know when to pick a cantaloupe, if I'm a worker at a cantaloupe farm?Community AnswerIf it's a farm, you will probably be told to pick it too green. Ripe means a nice smell on the blossom end and a depression on the stem end because the stem is about to let go. It should pull off easily without being cut.
QuestionWhat do dimples on a cantaloupe mean?Community AnswerA few dimples indicates the fruit is ripening. I watch for several to appear before I cut into mine.
QuestionMy cantaloupe is yellow and came off the vine easily. It is not sweet. What is wrong with it?Community AnswerIt has either begun to ferment or it was grown with insufficient water, minerals or light, or maybe it's not a cantaloupe.
QuestionI ate a cantaloupe and the flavor was more like a cucumber. Is that normal?Community AnswerIt probably wasn't ripe or you just got a bad one. When you get a ripe one, the taste is entirely different from a cucumber.
QuestionCan I eat a cantaloupe that has mold on it?Community AnswerIt is not recommended to eat it, as the mold spores will spread through the entire fruit and it will not be safe for you to consume.
QuestionHow long does cantaloupe need to be refrigerated before eating it?Community AnswerCantaloupe does not need to be refrigerated prior to eating.
Is the size of the dot where the bloom was a good indicator of a good melon?
How do I buy a cantaloupe and make sure it's not too ripe?
- This article describes the American cantaloupe, which is referred to as a rock melon or musk melon in some regions. In Europe, the word cantaloupe can refer to other melons that do not have webbing, and that remain green when ripe.[17]
- In areas where cantaloupes grow, the melons taste best in summer. Although often available the rest of the year, these imports or off-season harvests don't have as good a taste.
- To find an extra sweet melon, look for a glob of red fruit sugar around the stem. The skin should be three quarters golden orange, one quarter green.
- Shaking the cantaloupe to listen for rattling seeds is not an accurate test. People can't even agree whether the rattle is good or bad! There might be some varieties of cantaloupe that rattle when they're ready, but most fruit sold will remain silent in any state.[18]

Article SummaryX
If you're buying a cantaloupe, start by picking it up to see if it's firm and heavy for its size, which it should be. Give the cantaloupe a tap and listen for a low, solid sound, which is a good sign. Look for a cantaloupe with a yellow, tan, or cream-colored rind that has a raised, webbed surface, which indicates ripeness. You can also smell the end of the cantaloupe opposite the stem. If it smells pleasant and sweet, a little bit like flowers, then it's probably ripe and ready to be eaten. For tips on cutting and storing cantaloupe, keep reading!

Bureaucratic foolishness
March 8, 2007 Leave a comment
A recent series of tornadoes devastated the Arkansas town of Dumas. Businesses and homes were destroyed en masse and the people are in dire need of assistance. We have been conditioned to look to our federal government in situations as this — the idea going something like this:
Americans pay taxes to the federal government and in exchange the federal government will provide needed services. The federal government will establish agencies to meet all manner of needs and, when those needs arise, will gallop heroically to the rescue.
Ask the people of Dumas, Arkansas how that's working out for them.
They need help and this benevolent federal government has hundreds of mobile homes a mere 166 miles away in Hope, Arkansas — where they sit idle because someone, somewhere didn't fill out a form in triplicate (or whatever). Arkansas Senator Mark Pryor is trying to get something done about it but, being conditioned to look to the government for help, he is having little success.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out — let me take a stab at it…
Being from Arkansas I happen to know that guys with trucks equipped with trailer hitches are a dime a dozen. I also happen to know that it's a pretty easy drive from Hope to Dumas (see directions here). Why not ask a bunch of guys with trucks to start towing the trailers to Dumas. Arkansans are a charitable bunch and more than willing to help out in an emergency (that's why in Arkansas, if you hit the ditch during an ice storm, just wait a bit. It shouldn't be too long before three guys in a four-wheel-drive show up with a logging chain ready to pull you out. But I digress).
In the time it has taken the federal government to argue over procedures, a bunch of guys in their trucks could have moved a lot of these trailers to Dumas — and the people there could have shelter. Instead, because of our conditioning to look to government for help, we're still waiting for FEMA to do something.
It may be true that two heads are better than one. But, put too many heads together, give them impressive-sounding government titles, and you've reached a point of diminishing returns. All of a sudden everyone has checked their brain at the door and insists that decisions are routed through "proper channels" because the manual says so. That's how we end up with the REALITY of trusting the federal government to help us. Which goes like this:
The federal government confiscates our money in the form of taxes to establish their bureaucracies (under the guise of "doing it for our own good"). Then, when disaster strikes we have to fill out an application and ask "pretty please" in order to get OUR OWN MONEY back in order to meet our needs. But the federal government may or may not give that money back based on THEIR determination of whether or not our need is legitimate.
My solution? Stop sending our money away. If we never send it away we don't have to ask for it back. That way WE are the ones who determine when our needs are legitimate — NOT some Washington bureaucrat.
Of course, this is easier said than done. As I pointed out earlier, we have become conditioned to viewing the state as savior. It's a notion we need to reject.
The government is ill equipped to play the role of savior and we are foolish to look to government when we need one. Oh, I'm not surprised when a lost and dying world looks to government for a savior — without Christ they are apt to look to anything for salvation. But Christians certainly should recognize that God has not gifted the state to act on His behalf in matters of grace. This He has done for the Church.
We already have a savior. We just need to be clear about who he is.

О произведении:
Matthew Miller had just pedaled up a mountain pass. He was 20, a member of the University of Virginia triathlon club, so fit his resting pulse was 42! He was on top of the world in so many ways, in love, with dreams of attending medical school. And then, cycling along the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia, tragedy struck. The real story is not what happened, but what happened after. Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Michael Vitez shares with you the incredible, humbling, miraculous story of Matt's survival and recovery. It is a story, truly, of grace and grit, of an America that shines – families, community, individuals and institutions. The story is as gripping as it is inspiring. Ride along! The author first chronicled Matt Miller's story for his newspaper, The Philadelphia Inquirer. The response from readers was so overwhelming – and Matt's continued recovery so remarkable – that Vitez immersed himself in Matt's world. The Road Back is not only about a young man's drive to reclaim his life, but about the people who rode with him, rescued him, helped him heal, and saw up close his amazing comeback.

One of the most popular alarm techniques which can help for the safety of residences and small organizations may be the wireless alarm system. The use of this alarm system is easy and convenient compared with the other variety of systems since it doesn't have a complex wiring strategy. This will be the best explanation why many of the models could be self installed without having the support of any specialist help. Maybe this could be one specific with the factors for that reputation of this kind of alarm tactics.
Hence, this may be utilized for the security even when you are travelling, inside a hotel region in which this safety might sometime be essential. In addition, these methods are trustworthy, convenient and effortless to set up. As these strategies are effortless to install you might also conserve a great deal in terms of installation costs. At present, the wireless alarm system is inexpensive and affordable. There are various versions offered out there and most of them may be discovered at cost-effective costs. The technological advances are these kinds of that these alarm programs might be found in a lot much less high priced versions than just before.
Furthermore, quite a few the unconventional resources such as the on-line web sites give these systems at discount charges than the regular resources. Acquiring these alarm techniques via the net internet sites is far a lot more advantageous and should you get an easy to install model you'll have the ability to also save around the installation charges too. Thus, the wireless alarm technique can be of two varieties: the alarm program which will installed by yourself as well as the other that calls for an expert for its installation. The main advantage from the self installed systems is they are inexpensive nevertheless the other model is far a lot more productive at security than the former model.
The primary benefit with this wireless model is usually that they are far much more profitable than the wired formats. The explanation for this is that given that you will uncover no wires the intruders could have no opportunity to cut the wires and disable the alarm method. Hence this sort of alarm technique is far more productive!

Insurance Options for Track/Test Days & Race Weekends 2019:
There are a few options, but essentially we need to ensure that any damage to the vehicle is covered whether the damage is caused by you or someone else whilst you are driving the car.
Option 1 - take out your own insurance, which you pay directly to the insurance company in question and then provide proof to us before the event.
Option 2 - we take a swipe of your credit card and apply a hold of £1000 (similar to the way that a hotel does) before the event. We would then release the hold after the event, assuming no damage has been incurred. If there is damage to the car whilst you are driving then we would offset the £1000 from the total repair costs and the remaining damage costs are still payable by you.
Option 3 - we provide you with insurance to the value of the car you are driving at the cost of £110 for a MK1 MX5 or £140 for a MK3 MX5. This is the cost for insurance for the first driver, with reduced price deals for additional drivers. This is a policy with an excess of £950 per driver - per incident - on any damage incurred when that person is driving the car.
So, with Option 1 and Option 3 you are spending money on insurance you might not need to use but with a known cost attached to it. With Option 2 you don't pay out unless there is damage incurred, but you could be left with a rather large bill if you're unlucky on the track!
FYI - as an absolute worst case scenario MX5 Mk1 race car build costs £8,000, MX5 Mk3 race car build costs £15,000. Please note: with Track Days - unlike Test Days and Race Weekends - it is quite unlikely that damage will be sustained due to the nature of the event.

10 Great Ideas for Your Argumentative Essay Topics
If you are looking for an argumentative essay topic, look at the list below. One of these ten ideas can definitely inspire you.
- Is the Alcoholics Anonymous program effective today?
- Should we consider law enforcement cameras an invasion of privacy?
- Does procrastination actually help the creative process?
- Should people be allowed to choose their own time to die? A closer look at the issue of euthanasia.
- Is the information presented by forensic experts to juries accurate?
- Should children whose parents are getting divorced undergo mandatory counseling?
- Should schools offer children more free time for socializing?
- Is dental care abroad better than in the U.S.?
- Should all schoolbooks be replaced with e-books? Determine possible consequences of this change. How will low income families afford this?
- Should minors be tried as adults for committing felonies?
Find out the statistics that show how the attendances of the meetings and their success rates have changed over the years. Determine how the Internet, especially social networks, influence this particular program.
Look up reports that state how many crimes were solved or prevented by using these cameras. Study the laws regarding privacy issues and determine whether these cameras can indeed be considered an invasion of people's privacy.
Define procrastination and list its causes. Determine whether it serves some productive purpose in the long run. Provide a list of suggestions that will help creative people reduce the periods of procrastination. Is it possible to eliminate it completely?
Offer your own opinion on the subject. Identify the reasons that push people to seek euthanasia, as well as those that make some of them fight any motion that aims to legalize it. Is there a "right" choice in this case?
Look for reports on cases where forensic evidence was the crucial element that led to conviction. Find a few where this evidence was proven to be false after the decision had already been made.

Retics grow at an amazing rate, often reaching 8 feet or more within the first year. As a result, buying a snug fitting cage for your hatchling and expecting it to stay in there for much more than a month or so is unrealistic. The important thing here is to be prepared with each next size of vivarium ready as your snake begins to outgrow its old enclosure. When your snake reaches adulthood and a large size it will significantly reduce movements so trying to provide a space for the animal to wander constantly is no longer necessary. As long as the animal is granted access to a larger space at regular intervals (such as a snake room) then this is likely to be enough exercise to promote a healthy lifestyle. A size of 7x3x3 for adult pet retics is usually a good rule of thumb, so if you don't have this space to devote to an animal then please don't buy a hatchling.
This is a tropical species from Asia and is generally found very close to the equator. As a result tropical temperatures of 90 - 95F in the warmer end are a good average to work from. However it is worth noting that due to the size of land this species covers some localities and specific snakes will be happy with variations on this. A maximum I would work with is 105F and this is only for those animals that spend the majority of there time basking at lower temperatures. The act of basking itself is carried out to increase the body temperature of the snake until it reaches a workable level for the snake to begin its daily routines. A constantly basking animal is in need of a higher temperature spot and one that never basks requires this spot be lowered by a few degrees. Spending a few days with your snake and getting the temperatures just right for the animal will pay dividends later on. The cooler end should be of no less than 70F and should be a maximum in the low 80'sF to allow for proper thermoregulation cycling.
Again due to the origins of this species the humidity levels are classed as tropical. They can often be found in rainforests or by streams and rivers, both of these habitat areas have high humidity. Therefore the humidity within the vivarium should be maintained at 60-80%. There are several ways to achieve this, including strategic placement of water bowls (close to a heat source) or misting the area with a spray bottle. There is also an option of a "damp" box. This is usually a box filled with wet moss or newspaper designed specifically for the snake to enter as and when it comes to skin shedding. For those more technically minded, humidifiers regulated on timing circuits can be used to great effect.
Which ever you chose you will have only until the snake begins to shed its skin to perfect your method. If the levels are too low you will find the skin comes off in lots of pieces often leaving chunks on the back of the snake. This will have to be removed manually, which if you have a large nervous snake is far from an easy task. Often at this time many keepers raise the average levels by increased misting of the cage to ensure a clean and healthy skin is produced.
There are various ways of heating a vivarium, ranging from heat pads/cables to ceramic bulbs. These are all commonly available from most pet shops. Heat rocks are unsuitable and can be extremely dangerous to the animal as they lack the sensory perception needed to feel how hot the rock is, which can result in severe burns.
Whatever method you use to heat your vivarium, always make sure that the snake is unable to come into any direct contact with the source. If necessary use a protective cage to separate the immediate area around all types of bulbs, ensuring there are no gaps. Mats and cables should be placed on the outside of the housing to remove any chance of contact leading to burns. This also eliminates any problems that can occur through a faulty item or incorrect wiring. No matter what type of heat source you use there should always be a thermostat within the circuit, to control the temperature at a specific point within the vivarium. The heat source should directly warm 1/3 of the cage with a basking floor temperature higher than anywhere else within the environment you provide. Use a thermometer to gauge this accurately. It is essential to allow the animal an area that provides an optimal basking temperature and a cooler area so that the snake can thermoregulate.

5th Congressional District Q & A: Dave Anderson
By Andrea Chalfin News Dir. On October 29, 2012 · 3 Comments · In Andrea Chalfin, Elections, Interview, Interviews, KRCC News, Politics
Dave Anderson is running for Congress in the 5th Congressional District. He's running unaffiliated, challenging Republican incumbent Doug Lamborn. KRCC invited both candidates for an interview. Lamborn would not commit to a date. Here's part of my conversation with Anderson, who says one of his main concerns is the trade deficit.
You can also listen to or download the full conversation here (about 44 minutes):

Carol says:
Isn't this typical! Lamborn disrespects the people in his district yet again.
I have asked him repeatedly if he supports ACA or Obamacare. It's a simple yes or no question. He cannot give me a simple yes or no answer. He tells me to look at his web site or sends long explanations about what's wrong. Sorry. ACA and health care is my big issue. If you can't say that you support it, then I can't vote for you.
Lawrance says:
We have explained as carefully as possible that Dave is not in favor of repealing the ACA, but that as it stands the ACA will not reduce healthcare spending in a way that makes American producers competitive or the American people as healthy as they deserve. To paraphrase H.L. Menchen, "For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong." As difficult as it may be, Dave wants to do what's right for the nation. You will be your own judge about whether it is better to vote for Doug Lamborn, for Dave – or someone else.

I did one of these posts a while back which was to my 14 year old self and mostly focused on body image. Check it out here:
However, I recently had the idea of doing one for my 18 year old self at Uni. It may get deep it may not, we'll see how it goes.
Dear 18 year old me,
You can't wait to leave home for a new life at Uni. New you, new friends and all that. Going out and actually grabbing your future by the horns like you've always wanted. What could possibly go wrong? A lot it seems when you are young and naive and rather hormonal at times. At first, everyone wants to be friends and you lose count of the nice people you've met and exchanged stories with. They won't be your friends forever. In fact you won't remember most of their names after the first week.
The first problem comes in the form of cooking. You can't actually do it. It's as simple as that. You brushed off your mum's worries about learning before you went and decided to learn as you went along. Harder than it seems when you have to share a kitchen with 7 (yes that's right) 7 others who all fire food related questions at you. You make many mistakes along the way with this most of which you laugh about with your friends but some make you want to cry with frustration since your stomach is grumbling and it's getting late. Eating is essential to surviving, use some common sense Kerrie!
The second problem comes in the form of the actual Uni course. You hate it. You attend every single lecture when the rest are hungover and it doesn't get any better. There's the odd lecture which isn't too bad but overall, the experience is disappointing and you get the impression the lecturers don't even care. You should have moved courses straight away and not got in such a big panic over it but at the time you did what you thought was best.
You also start to think about how much you don't like the city you live in. Having come from a small town, it was actually a big jump to move to a city. The busy environment annoys you, the noise at night keeps you up, there doesn't seem much to do for students and the crime rate just plain scares you. You didn't know any of this before you moved here and you liked it when you looked round before. Deeply investigate the city you are living before you move. I can't stress this enough.
Another thing which you can't seem to handle is the party life. You knew this was Uni etiquette before you left home but your corridor like to party hard and well… you don't so much. You go along as much as you can but want to focus on your work after a while which is hard when drunk people are bashing on everyone's doors. You don't feel as cool or as liked as these people who have so much experience but you should have focused on just being yourself. You tried too hard to impress and please people which did the complete opposite. You were seen as the 'innocent' one who was lacking in experience in EVERYTHING! It annoyed you and you tried hard to shake this label with little success.
You eventually found it all too much and spent many a night crying down the phone to your mum. You missed her, your family, your friends and your life at home. You were seriously thinking about dropping out but feared you'd be forever unemployed and nothing at home would be the same again. You shouldn't have worried so much, you felt like you might be suffering with anxiety with the amount you put your abilities down and looking back you probably were. It took a lot of courage and planning but you eventually dropped out and it was the best thing you ever did.
Your life will not be over, your friends will not all judge you and your family will accept you with open arms so if there is anyone out there who is considering dropping out of Uni, don't be ashamed. It happens to lots of people and you never know the exciting prospects life has in store for you if you don't take that chance.
Love Kerrie x

First Astronauts of the Chinese Space Staion
Three Chinese astronauts docked with the Tiangong-1 and entered the space station from the Shenzhou-9. Though its the third docking for China, it is the first manned one. Also, China's first women is up in space on this 13-day mission.
Tiangong-1 will stay in the orbit until 2013 to perform the crucial docking procedures that were performed earlier by Russia and United States in 1960s. This tests in Tiangong-1 will lay the stepping stones for their dream of building a space station by 2020.
As the AFP article develops,
The manoeuvre is hard to master because the two vessels, placed in the same orbit and revolving around the Earth at thousands of kilometres per hour, must come together very gently to avoid destroying each other.
Reports have said the Shenzhou-9 will remain attached to the space capsule for six days before separating in preparation for the manual docking.
President Hu Jintao has said the operation would mark a "major breakthrough in the country's manned space programme", which is gearing up just as the United States scales back its manned space exploration activities.
China sees its space programme as a symbol of its global stature, growing technical expertise, and the Communist Party's success in turning around the fortunes of the once poverty-stricken nation.
The ability to dock manually is necessary in case of any problems with the automatic procedure, such as the control centre being unable to carry it out remotely from Earth.
The team — headed by Jing Haipeng, a veteran astronaut on his third space mission — have rehearsed the procedure more than 1,500 times in simulations.
Liu Wang, who has been in the space programme for 14 years, will be in charge of manual docking manoeuvres, while Liu Yang, China's first woman to travel to space, will conduct aerospace medical experiments and other space tests.
Their mission has been heavily trailed in China's state-run media, with much of the attention focused on Liu Yang — at 33, the youngest of the three.
She has been hailed as a national heroine and her mission is being excitedly followed in the Chinese media and on the country's popular microblogs.
Banners have reportedly been put up at her former high school in central China's Henan province celebrating her selection as the country's first female "taikonaut", as the country dubs its space travellers.

As you probably noticed from the above photograph, you could hardly spot the cryptocorynes as they are very sparse and can only be found within a 2m x 2m area in the forest. We searched within the vicinity of this area but could not find any other spots with these cryptocoryne. Hopefully the reason was because we had not put in enough efforts in our search. The substrate where the cryptocoryne were found growing in was sandy as per the below photograph.

C. sp. 'Pahang 2' revisited
I had the chance to revisit the C. sp. 'Pahang 2' natural habitat again. The water level in the peat swamp forest was much lower than before and all the previously submersed cryptocorynes were now exposed above the water level.

All of us are working so hard to get to where we want to be. To achieve our dreams and make the people we love proud of us. But, have you been working hard enough to achieve your dreams?
Now, I'm not saying that you should work hard to the point where you forget about your health just to get there; but what I'm saying is, are you at least taking action to achieve your dreams?
Always remember that nothing will happen if you just sit around and wait for that opportunity before you do something about it. You need to create an opportunity for yourself. Great things would never come from your comfort zone.
So, instead of sitting around, doing nothing and wishing you're already on your stepping stone of success, why not use that time and day to think about the first thing you need to do to achieve your dreams?
Just like the quote by Franklin D. Roosevelt says, "A smooth sea never made a skillful sailor." It means you need to deal with few challenges and prepare for what may happen before you reach your goal. When you fail, don't give up. Use that as your motivation.

( better do not leave any valuables

Newly qualified non-EU nurses now eligible to apply to the UK register
NMC drops restriction on UK registration for overseas nurses qualified for less than a year
NMC drops restriction on UK registration for overseas nurses qualified for less than a year
Nurses trained outside the EU can now apply to practise in the UK immediately after qualifying.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) today dropped its requirement that nurses from outside the EU must have worked for at least a year post-qualification before applying to practise in the UK.
The regulator made the change as part of a wider review of how to improve the experience for overseas nurses and midwives wanting to work in the UK.
'This change will remove an unnecessary barrier, making it as simple as possible for nursing and midwifery staff from outside the EU to join the workforce'
Emma Broadbent, NMC registration director
Applicants to the UK register will still need to pass NMC tests proving they are safe to practise and can communicate effectively in English. The NMC has updated guidance for applicants to help them prepare for the tests.
NMC director of registration and revalidation Emma Broadbent said: 'More than 65,000 nurses and midwives from outside the EU deliver first-class care to millions of people across the UK every year and they are a vital part of our health and care workforce.
'This change will remove an unnecessary barrier, making it as simple and straightforward as possible for highly skilled nursing and midwifery staff to join the workforce.'
Reform to testing process
In July, the NMC stated nurses who have trained outside the European Economic Area would only have to retake the sections of the mandatory Objective Structured Clinical Examination that they may fail.
The exam is one of a series of requirements these nurses must fulfil before joining the register. Previously, unsuccessful candidates were not told which of the exam's six sections they had failed or why, while employers had to pay almost £1,000 for the candidate to retake the whole test.
Now, non-EEA nurses will be told which part they need to repeat. The cost of retaking has fallen from £992 per candidate for the full test to £496 for a partial re-sit.

Removing the infection
The worms often schedule themselves to be run automatically when you start your operating system; some of them even register themselves to be run when any other application is started. Removing such a worm is not as simple as deleting it - when you just delete the worm file, your operating system might not be able to start your applications (such as Explorer) any more.
So, in order to properly remove the worm from your computer, it is often necessary to make additional fixes in your system registry, delete the links from your Startup Folder etc. Here the avast! Virus Cleaner comes - it will find and remove selected worms from your computer, as well as fix the registry and startup items to make sure your system will work correctly after the disinfection.
