What Causes Heel Pain And How Your Walking Shoes Can Help
Heel pain has long wrought havoc on both professional athletes and everyday individuals. But what is the cause of that overwhelming (or at least annoying) pain, and how can it be prevented?
While pain of the heel can be caused by a variety of issues, the pain ranging from mild to disabling, there are many methods to fixing the issue. And, if the pain is caused by a bad pair of walking shoes, we'll help you figure out which pair is right for you, too!
There are many underlying causes that can cause pain in an individual's heel, most of which are pretty simple to heal or fix. That being said, if you're experiencing very bad pain, especially over long periods of time, it will be a good idea to see a doctor. Doctors are the best people to diagnose, and recommend treatment, for any sort of pain, bodily issue, or injury.
The most common of these heel afflictions if plantar fasciitis, which occurs when the plantar fascia ligament in your foot is damaged. More often than not, this is caused from excess pressure on the feet and causes both pain and stiffness of the foot and heel.
Issues with the heel and foot can also be caused by sprains or strains. In fact, these injuries are very common, and are often the result of physical activity. The pain from this, depending on the severity of the injury, can range from mild to majorly painful.
Unlike a sprain or strain, a facture is the actual breaking of bone. If this occurs in the foot or heel it can be very painful, and will most likely need immediate medical attention.
Heel and foot pain can also be caused by Achilles tendonitis, which is a condition that occurs when the tendon attached to the calf muscle and the hell becomes inflamed and painful from overuse. This affliction is regarded are very painful, and is seen often in athletes and workout enthusiasts.
Individuals with pain in their heel might also be suffering from bursitis, during which flui-filled sacs called bursaw form around joints. These bursae surround where tendons, skin, or muscle meets bones, and cause a significant amount of discomfort, especially in the ankle and heel region.
It's also possible that the pain is caused by ankylosing spondylitis, which is a form of arthritis that affects the spine and causes severe inflammation. These inflication can cause chronic pain in many areas of the body, including the foot region, and should be taken very seriously.
Finally, there's a chance that heel spurs can cause pain in this region. Heel spurs occur when a calcium deposit causes a bony protrusion under the heel, and are associated with chronic pain and inflammation, especially during walking.
Unfortunately, there is no one quick fix for pain in your heel. That being said, there are some at home methods you can try to ease discomfort.
First, you'll want to make sure you're resting your heel as much as possible. You can also apply ice to the area of pain for ten or fifteen minutes, usually twice a day.
Some individuals with this type of pain will take over-the-coutner pain medication to manage, and others use heel lifts or shoe inserts to try and help with the discomfort. Some even opt to wear a night splint, which stretches the foot during sleep, to try and fix the issue.
If none of the above ideas work, you'll most likely have to treat the underlying cause of the pain, which will differ from case to case.
If over-the-counter options and ice don't ease the pain of plantar fasciitis, your doctor will most likely recommend giving a corticosteroid injection to the damaged ligament(s).
Most often, your doctor will take an ultrasound to determine where the injection will be most effective. Sometimes, however, the corticosteroid will be applied to the skin, and then passed into the muscle through a painless electrical current.
It's likely your doctor will also recommend physical therapy.
There are many treatments used for Achilles tendonitis, anywhere from rest and over-the-counter anti-inflammatories, or more invasive options like surgery or other injections.
For general pain management, your doctor will likely recommend the RICE method: Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation.
However, in the cases where this option isn't effective, your doctor may suggest surgery to repair the Achilles tendon. Usually, they'll perform open repair, where an incision is made above the heel bone and the two ends of the reputed tendon are sewn back together.
Steroid injections and even platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections can be used to manage the pain of Achilles tendonitis as well.
Other than the typical rest, ice, and anti-inflammatory over-the-counter medications, there is little to be done to treat bursitis.
Sometimes, your doctor will suggest physical therapy to improve help get rid of bursitis and prevent it from coming back. However, if this doesn't work, injections of steroid medicine can be used to get rid of the condition.
It's very unlikely that surgery will be needed to get rid of the inflamed bursa.
There is no cure of ankylosing spondylitis, but symptoms and pain can be managed, and complications like bone deformity can be slowed or even stopped.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are often used to manage pain and inflammation, but corticosteroids can be prescribed in the short-term if the pain is unbearable.
Your doctor may also prescribe tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors to block inflammation triggers sent out by your brain into the body. Through these drugs, joint pain and stiffness can be relieved, and inflammation is prevented!
In severe cases, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) can be prescribed to slow the progress of the disease. In turn, this will slow the symptoms from progressing.
Finally, if none of the above help, joint replacement surgery can be used to help.
As is typical for heel and foot pain, the most common recommendations to ease pain include physical therapy, over-the-coutner anti-inflammatory drugs, and shoe inserts.
90% of people heal from heel spurs using conservative treatments, but if that's not the case, surgery can be used.
Through this option, the spur is removed, and healing can begin.
Now that you know about some of the causes of heel and foot pain, we can go over how to prevent it.
Although the following ideas on how to prevent this type of pain may seem simple, doing these few things can serious reduce the risk of suffering.
First, you'll need to ensure that your shoes are fitting properly and supporting your foot. If you're unsure about whether or not your footwear is fitting well, you can consult a podiatrist (foot doctor) or have your foot sized and fitted at many department stores.
Speaking of shoes, you'll also want to make sure you have the right shoe for the types of activity you usually do. Whether walking, running, biking, or lifting, you'll need a shoe that works for the specific athletic activities you're doing.
Stretching before exercise, while seemingly simple, can seriously help with pain in this region. And, during exercise, pace yourself so you can be sure you won't over-exert yourself.
Maintaining a healthy diet can also help reduce the likelihood of pain or injury to the heel and foot. Having a diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and other healthy substances can keep your bones and joints strong and free of injury or other issues.
It's also important that, when you're tired and sore, you rest your body and muscles. Ankle and heel injuries are often times overuse injuries, and giving yourself ample time to rest between bouts of exercise is the best way to prevent this.
Overweight and obese individuals are also far more likely to suffer from joint pain and other issues, especially in the foot region. Because of this, maintaining a health body weight is a great way to prevent heel or foot pain.
Finally, now that you know how to prevent heel discomfort, we'll now go over the best walking shoes for individuals suffering from this sort of pain.
This shoe, made by the reputable Brooks company, is a great choice for anyone suffering from heel discomfort. Infact, this shoe provides maximum support using the Extended Progressive Diagonal Rollbar (PDRB) system that Brooks utilizes.
This system strategically and accurately positions the shoe's arch support to keep the body in a natural state of motion.
This Brooks shoe also features BioMoGo DNA cushioning, a proprietary Brooks system that adapts to the wearer's stride and reduce impact on the joints.
This shoe is also slip resistant, and the full-grain leather that it's made of is comfortable and durable.
The only con of this product, according to reviewers, is the appearance: it looks cheaply made.
This shoe is lightweight, breathable, and provides a secure fit. Plus, it boasts a soft lining interior that packs in pain relieving VersoShock technology.
In particular, the front toe box of this shoe is extra room, which provides better comfort and blood circulation. And, with a front rocker sole that adds additional midfoot support, rest assured this shoe will help relieve any chronic heel or foot pain.
This shoe also comes with removable insoles, which can accommodate custom orthotic soles and support if you have them.
With a 4.8/5 star review, this is a highly though of product that will make any individuals with hell discomfort happy.
This product is unique because it offers a 60-day wear test upon purchase, which includes a 100% satisfaction guarantee or your money black. Plus, premium orthotic insoles are included in the order, a $30 value for free.
The OrthoFeet Sprint offers a non-binding fit, plus extra room for toe movement and protection against particular pressure points.
Interestingly enough, this shoe also provides a proprietary tie-less lacing system, allowing for fastening the shoes without the need for trying any laces.
Finally, this shoe also provides a protective, soft interior that protects skin against friction and offers comfort.
This product, unlike the others on this list, is not a shoe, but rather an insole that can be placed in your shoe.
New Balance is a very well respected brand among workout enthusiasts and professional athletes alike, and this product is a great example of why that is the case.
This insole is made particularly for runners, but can help any individuals who are experiencing heel, ankle, or foot pain. In fact, it could provide comfort for many ailments, including shin splints or other exercise-induced issues.
Additionally, this insole also features moisture-wicking technology, therapeutic cushioning, and a deep heel cup that protects against ground impact.
This shoe, the successor to the Echelon 6, is a great shoe that provides a roomy toe box, a wide and stable base, and an ultra-plush footbed.
More specifically, this shoe can provide relief and comfort for runners, especially those suffering from underpronation, or supination.
Utilizing the proprietary EVERUN topsole construction, a specially engineered mesh, and a FORMFIT contoured footbed, this shoe is a great option for anyone looking to help with their heel or foot pain.
And, if that's not enough, this shoe also features a reflective element on the heel, perfect for anyone running at night and looking to stay safe from any oncoming cars!
By using this guide, you should have a good idea about what causes heel and foot pain, how it can be treated and prevented, and what shoes you can wear to keep your feet happy and pain free for many years to come!

Alcohol and Drug Problems: Law Enforcement and Legal Policy
Alcohol and Drug Problems: Law Enforcement and Legal Policy
- Anna Celeste BurkeAnna Celeste BurkeOhio State University
Historically, U.S. policy has been characterized by long-standing ambivalence evident in the changing emphasis placed on prohibition as the aim of drug policy, and in debate about the relative merits of various approaches to drug control. Often characterized as supply reduction versus demand reduction efforts, significant changes have occurred over time in these efforts, and in the emphasis placed on them. In the last quarter of the twentieth century, U.S. drug policy adopted a more prohibitionist stance, with increased reliance on a variety of law enforcement, and even military actions, to control the supply and use of drugs, even in the face of evidence for the effectiveness of prevention and treatment, and high costs associated with the burgeoning incarceration rates.

What is Allergy?
Allergy is concern a hypersensitivity disorder of the immune system. Allergy reaction may occur due to the immune system reacting to substances in the environment.

In 1975, cosmologist Stephen Hawking bet fellow cosmologist Kip Thorne a subscription to Penthouse magazine for Thorne against four years of Private Eye for Hawking that Cygnus-1 would turn out not to be a black hole. (It was, so Hawking lost.) — Wikipedia
In 300 BC, Greek mathematician and engineer Archimedes bet some olive merchant that, by use of a simple machine called a catapult, he could hurl 500 pounds of olives all at once half a mile into the sea. The stakes were a Grecian urn depicting a buxom shepherdess for the olive merchant against a ticket to a comedy by Hegemon of Thasos that featured highly amusing hexameters for Archimedes. (The mathematician did it, so the merchant lost.)
In 1670, physicist Isaac Newton bet fellow scientist Robert Hooke that white light was composed of colors. The stakes were a collection of 500 handwritten satirical Irish limericks for Newton against a packet of 100 suggestive French silhouettes scissored from black paper for Hooke. (Newton got his limericks, so light must be composed of colors.)
In 1965, playwright Samuel Beckett bet fellow playwright Harold Pinter that the next winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature would be the American Terry Southern for his novel Candy. The stakes were a subscription to Juggs magazine for Beckett against a subscription to Cracked magazine for Pinter. (Southern didn't receive the prize, so Beckett must have lost.)
In 1969, Dr. Michael DeBakey told fellow cardiac surgeon Dr. Denton Cooley that he, DeBakey, would perform the first artificial heart implant. He offered Cooley a subscription to Screw magazine if anyone beat him, provided that Cooley buy him a subscription to National Lampoon magazine if he, DeBakey, performed the surgery first. Cooley, in a coup still talked about in medical circles, scheduled DeBakey to perform a routine appendectomy while he, Cooley, stepped in and performed the groundbreaking procedure. Thus began a feud between the two physicians that lasted 40 years. So outraged was DeBakey that he cancelled Cooley's subscription to Screw, and substituted twelve issues of Big 'Uns magazine, thinking Cooley wouldn't enjoy it as much. (Cooley got really upset, so he probably didn't.)
In 1972, US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger bet Chinese Premier Chou En-Lai that Nixon knew enough Chinese to order duck in a Peking restaurant. At risk were 12 copies of Mao's Little Red Book for Kissinger, and a subscription to Perky Bits magazine for Chou. Chou, who said he valued Perky Bits for its farming advice, perhaps misunderstood the stakes. Moreover, as Nixon ordered duck in flawless Mandarin, Chou got a glimpse of Perky Bits in Kissinger's briefcase and a crisis unfolded. On the grounds that he, Chou, had really wanted General Tso's Chicken, and that Nixon's duck order was a setup, Chou refused to receive the magazine, calling the periodical "mean-spirited and exploitative" and the models "too flat-chested." Even though he had won the original bet, a quick-thinking Kissinger instead air-expressed twelve issues of Heavy Hangers to Chou. (No arms race resulted, so the Premier must have been pleased.)
In 2014, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia bet fellow Justice Stephen Breyer that before 2016 the court would hold a hearing on the constitutionality of surveillance by the National Security Agency. At stake is a subscription to Spicy Detective magazine for Scalia against a subscription to High Times magazine for Breyer. The bet has not yet been settled, so no reward has been paid out. The wager is further complicated by Spicy Detective, a periodical Scalia that enjoyed in his college days, having gone out of print. Breyer has said that if Nino, as he calls Justice Scalia, eventually wins, he will instead buy him a subscription to Eager Teasers. Breyer says that any fan of Spicy Detective, no matter how conservative, should enjoy Eager Teasers, providing only that it, too, is still in print. With a wink, Breyer adds that if Eager Teasers magazine is no longer in publication, Nino will have to settle for a subscription to Cellulite Bottoms magazine. (Breyer isn't positive that Cellulite Bottoms is still published, but he browsed through an issue at the barbershop only last Thursday, so maybe it is.)

Nakba Day (Arabic: يوم النكبة Yawm an-Nakba), the Day of the Catastrophe, commemorates the displacement of Palestinians that preceded and followed the Israeli Declaration of Independence in 1948. An estimated 700,000 Palestinians fled or were expelled, and hundreds of Palestinian towns and villages were depopulated and destroyed.
The key is a symbol of the Nakba, the Catastrophe, refering to the many Palestinians who still have keys to their homes from which they were expelled in 1948, expecting to return in a few days.
As we pray for and express solidarity with the Palestinians, let us also be sensitive about different expressions of injustices happening all around us, which call for our commitment to justice.Rev. Dr. Roger Gaikwad, National Council of Churches in India

A Jewish Prayer for Nakba Day, by Rabbi Brant Rosen
Le'el she'chafetz teshuvah,
to the One who desires return:
Receive with the fulness of your mercy
the hopes and prayers of those
who were uprooted, dispossessed
and expelled from their homes
during the devastation of the Nakba.
Sanctify for tov u'veracha,
for goodness and blessing,
the memory of those who were killed
in Lydda, in Haifa, in Beisan, in Deir Yassin
and so many other villages and cities
throughout Palestine.
Grant chesed ve'rachamim,
kindness and compassion,
upon the memory of the expelled
who died from hunger,
thirst and exhaustion
along the way.
Shelter beneath kanfei ha'shechinah,
the soft wings of your divine presence,
those who still live under military occupation,
who dwell in refugee camps,
those dispersed throughout the world
still dreaming of return.
Gather them mei'arbah kanfot ha'aretz
from the four corners of the earth
that their right to return to their homes
be honored at long last.
Let all who dwell in the land
live in dignity, equity and hope
so that they may bequeath to their children
a future of justice and peace.
and let us say,
Le'el she'chafetz teshuvah,
to the One who desires repentance:
Inspire us to make a full accounting
of the wrongdoing that was
committed in our name.
Help us to face the terrible truth of the Nakba
and its ongoing injustice
that we may finally confess our offenses;
that we may finally move toward a future
of reparation and reconciliation.
Le'el malei rachamim,
to the One filled with compassion:
show us how to understand the pain
that compelled our people to inflict
such suffering upon another –
dispossessing families from their homes
in the vain hope of safety and security
for our own.
Osei hashalom,
Maker of peace,
guide us all toward a place
of healing and wholeness
that the land may be filled
with the sounds of joy and gladness
from the river to the sea
speedily in our day.
and let us say,

World 100 Now Followed by World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series for Ultimate Racing Weekend in Mid-October
ROSSBURG, OH — Sept. 7, 2018 — Persistent rains and dire forecasts of storms and up to 50-mph winds, have forced DIRTcar Racing and Eldora Speedway to reschedule the highly-anticipated crown jewel of dirt Late Model racing, the World 100.
Rossburg, OH, is set to receive six inches of rain over the next couple of days, with probable storms. "It was impossible to hold the event," explained Eldora General Manager Roger Slack. "We held on as long as we could, but it's a matter of public safety."
This late into the season, open dates for rescheduled events are difficult to come by. In true dirt camaraderie and in the interest of the sport, World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series Director Matt Curl worked with Slack and Dirt Oval at Route 66 owner Sheri Hackenast to move the previously scheduled Chi-Town Showdown to 2019 in order to accommodate a rain date for the World 100 and allow World of Outlaws drivers to participate in what is now the Ultimate Racing Weekend.
The World 100 will now run on Friday, October 12 and Saturday, October 13. After the 2018 Late Model World 100 Champion has done his rooftop dance, the Ultimate Racing Weekend will continue with the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series on Sunday. Eldora will close out its racing season with the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars, as planned, with The Last Call For Them All, on Sunday, October 14.
The 2018 Chi-Town Showdown, featuring the World of Outlaws Late Models with DIRTcar Late Models and UMP Modifieds, has officially been cancelled. Curl and Heckenast are currently working on a 2019 date.
World 100 ticketholders should retain tickets, wristbands, and camping passes. All of these will be good for the reschedule dates on October 12 and 13. World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series #LastCallForThemAll tickets are available online.

It's that time of year when industry experts, pundits and prognosticators put forth the top trends to watch in the coming year. For banking, it's a complex and varied list. There are more significant trends now to monitor in a single year than there were in an entire decade not so long ago.
Banking is undergoing some seismic and fundamental changes. Business as usual has been ever not so for some time. With change and uncertainty come anxiety and risk, but also excitement and opportunity. It's a brave new world and it's never been more stimulating to be a part of it, especially as a marketer.
Many of the most provocative trends have ties to marketing strategy and execution, highlighting the continuing evolution of the practice's role within the industry. It takes a thick skin and iron constitution, but the ride can be both thrilling and fulfilling.
Some of the common trends for 2015 espoused in the industry trades include:
- Broadening acceptance of mobile payments
- Digital data and personal information security
- Branch transformation
- The proliferation of non-bank competition
- Pre-paid card evolution
- Financial literacy development
- Marketing and product design for Millennials
- Content development and deployment
- Staffing with "Universal Bankers"
- Brand differentiation challenges
- Enhanced, data-driven personalization
It's going to be another eventful year. And a potentially rewarding one for those who can stay on top of the trends and react with the appropriate blend of speed, tenacity and elegance. May the force be with you …

The iceberg analogy is one we use often when discussing implementations. Buyers spend a great deal of time looking for the LMS features that they want, but rarely stop to think about the aspects under the surface – like training, or support. These "hidden" aspects are important to consider, and to know upfront when assessing a potential LMS, because they give you an understanding of where your money is going.
LMS Support
The first service to consider is Support. Learning management systems are sophisticated applications that tie into your internal systems and are used in extensive ways. With so many features and moving parts, it can be daunting to be thrown into your LMS with no manual, so having a dedicated training team to guide you through the system, through setup and deployment, and even mapping your requirements into the system, will be crucial to your LMS success.
LMS Training
Training is typically divided into a few distinct sections. You can usually break it down into the administrative roles – how you're getting learners into the system, how you're enrolling them in courses, how you're building the content and administrating it. There will be distinct categories for training (and you might even have different audiences for each session), with different ways to target each category. Make sure you select a vendor who can meet your requirements and guide you through the onboarding process, and get you properly familiarized with the system.
Setup & Configuration
While training is focussed on learning the operation (how the LMS works), Setup and Configuration is much more nuanced – it is about working with the vendor to understand how your system operates in the ecosystem of your organization – i.e. where it fits in, how it's going to interact with other systems you're using, and how you're expecting the system to notify users. This process can pull in a number of different elements, such as reporting or enrollments, and will, overall, be much more focussed than just the training. It is something that is going to be unique to your organization, so having someone to help you work through those scenarios, help you see vision in your LMS, and build that into your system is going to make your deployment process simpler and easier.
Ongoing Support
The final part of services, is Ongoing Support. This can be training, it can go back to the setup and configuration phase, but it will also be making sure your system is performing to 100% of its ability, making sure it's available to all your users, and ensuring you have ongoing support throughout your LMS process, as you need it. Depending on the vendor you have chosen, your access to ongoing support will vary. Some vendors provide support time that you buy in batches, some bundle unlimited training into your hosting package, and some offer different tiers of support.
Extended Features
Extended features are what your system has to offer outside of its base functions. This can mean bringing in features that compliment the LMS system, that add different workflows to how it all operates, and that extracts the best functionalities available.
One of the core extended features, is Reporting. The LMS generates a lot of data, and is designed to store and hold a lot of user information, so having an effective way to access your data is beneficial – either out-of-the-box, or through customization. All LMS applications have some sort of reporting functionality that can show data around grade or completion information – you just need to know whether the built-in features are enough to meet your requirements. If you're needing to show specific data such as completions and statuses, or demonstrate wider usage metrics, it's good to identify right away whether your application can do this, either through native functionality or built-in features. Making sure you have the reports you need is important, especially when justifying the LMS in your organization, and the costs associated with it.
LMS Theming
Your LMS is a reflection of your organization and brand, so you want it to look good. It's not realistic to think of your LMS as isolated from your system and site, so having it logically and aesthetically tied into your organization is going to be important. Your system has different styling options, whether these are customizable, or out-of-the-box. This is where open source solutions are beneficial – they allow you to tailor your system to your needs.
Extended features come up a lot, and they can often make or break a decision. These are just a few extended features that work around the outside of your LMS. Maybe you need to deliver webinars, or sell your courses through a LMS shopping cart. Find out what features are most important to you, so you can find a LMS that provides all of your requirements. These might be available out of the box, or it might be available through plugins and integrations. When it comes to open source, there are so many options available that allow access to all these features.
Stay tuned for Part Two of this blog post! If you're in the process of looking for a LMS, and want to know more about features and functionality, register for our upcoming webinar – Costs Associated with Buying an LMS.

In the world of vivid colors there must be one who sees it one or another way, but not the same way we all do. Just thinking of the past or trying to see the future, who will be the one who oversees the present? Or how dark, uncertain and violent it can be, that one particular person named Blind Vaysa is unable to see it? In this truly remarkable and unlike many other short films you've seen, Theodore USHEV's animated film brings you the definition of irreconcilable realities, and the present that could not fit into it…
Vaysha was born with an unique gift: her left eye sees the past, while the right one sees the future. Is it a spell or a disease? Is she blind or sighted? How can one who sees the horrible and unprosperous future of humanity can decide how to live in the present time? Many come to stand before her doors to offer her a hand and heart. But Vaysha's gift and ability to see through each one of them makes her feel endlessly lonely, but extremely smart, as there is no one who could have united her side.
As you watch the film, you find Vaysha thinking of removing one of her eyes, but the question is, how can she make a decision when the past and future are worth being seen, despite the future itself being dark and unprosperous and the past full of joy and happy moments? But what is most amazing about Ushev's gorgeously crafted animated film, is the vision, concept and intelligence that's so rare to see nowadays.
In conclusion, based on the short story "Blind Vaysha" by Georgi Gospodinov, this short film within eight minutes delivers a delightful result more than any full-length film could ever accomplish. Despite its short length, you will want it to be a a bit longer, as the story of Vaysha, or the version of the future she sees in everyone is quite charming and terrifying at the same time. But at the end of the day, if we could be able to do a fraction of what Vaysha does, we could have changed the world for better. But since it's not in our power, it's good at least to be able to own our own future by starting fixing the present, to pass it on to the past in as many happy ways as possible.

Be a part of right now and you can simply save your favorite articles, be part of within the conversation and remark, plus choose which news your want direct to your inbox. Watch at dwelling on the Mighty or Mini set-prime field and connect as much as three set-high bins to share leisure and sport throughout your family with Multiroom. Therefore, there may be the likelihood that what seems as leisure might also be a means of reaching insight or mental development.
Now you may subscribe to premium leisure channels with the Yes TELEVISION by Fetch Mobi app. By the second half of the 20th century, developments in electronic media made possible the delivery of entertainment merchandise to mass audiences throughout the globe. Typically the climate presents an opportunity to adapt another sport equivalent to within the case of ice hockey —an necessary leisure in Canada.
Wynn Buzzell works with a crew on the set up of Ai Weiwei's internationally renowned Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads" at Civic Middle Park on Oct. Rudi Cerri, of Denver Arts & Venues, provides crews a thumbs up when a sculpture is on the proper angle as they work on the set up of Ai Weiwei's internationally renowned Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads" at Civic Center Park on Oct.
One of the consequences of the event of the leisure trade has been the creation of latest forms of employment While jobs equivalent to writer , musician and composer exist as they always have, individuals doing this work are likely to be employed by an organization rather than a patron as they once would have been.
Other than sports activities that have world-huge appeal and competitions, such as the Olympic Games , the leisure worth of a sport depends on the culture and country by which it is performed. An important facet of entertainment is the audience, which turns a personal recreation or leisure activity into leisure.

"If evolution really works, how come mothers only have two hands" Milton Berle (Gayatri's Favorite Mom Quote)
Our featured Super Mom Gayatri Punj Talwar is originally from New Delhi, India but has lived in London, England for the majority of her life. Gayatri has now made her home in Singapore with her husband and her daughter Aria, who is only 20 months old.
As a mom, Gayatri loves being challenged by her daughter every single day. In Gayatri's words, "It is never boring and I witness a miracle every day seeing her grow and develop and become her own person. I love that a smile, a hug, a word, a dance or an achievement can brighten up my mood no matter how miserable I might be feeling."
Before becoming a mom, Gayatri wished she would have known what an emotional roller coaster being a mommy would be. Like most moms, Gayatri just wants the best for her little girl. When her daughter grows up she wants her to do things that make her happy as long as she does it with a pure heart. Her advice to new moms is that "a mother's instinct is the best instinct, books can only teach you so much", go with what you believe is right.
In addition to being a Super Mom, Gayatri has always been artistically inclined. Straight out of college she worked with a well-known British clothing designer and then a few years later started creating her own clothing line in South Asia. Shortly after that she progressed into creating her own unique works of art, which she sold in galleries in London. Gayatri's artwork is her work, hobby and passion all combined into one.
Now in Singapore, as an artist she continues to create and sell her art at the Bruno Art Gallery on Tanglin Road and through commission to various collecters. Her artowork consists of multi-dimensional pieces, where she uses silk and thread to sew to life semi-sculptural tapestries.
Recently her artwork was displayed at the Affordable Art Fair (2012) in Singapore and will be exhibited at the Affordable Art Fair in Hong Kong this March.
One great thing about being so artistic is that Gayatri always creates fun and creative art projects to do at home. One of her favorite craft projects as a child and now something she makes with her own daughter is this fun and easy "Stained Glass Window" kid's craft. Click here for Gayatri'sstep by step guide on how to make these beautiful Stained Glass Windows with your kids.
Thank you Gayatri for being such a great Super Mom. Keep up the Good Work!

Guest Post by Mike LaRoche
Well here's some rather unpleasant news this Pearl Harbor Day. Korean rapper Park Jae-sang, who performs under the stage name of PSY and who has rocketed to global superstardom via his video "Gangnam Style," today was revealed to have an anti-American past. Tony Lee at Breitbart writes:
The singer of "Gangnam Style," who is slated to perform before President Barack Obama December 21 during the annual "Christmas in Washington" concert, participated in an anti-American rally and concert in South Korea in 2004 in which he rapped lyrics that wished for the "daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law, and fathers" of "f***ing Yankees" and U.S. troops associated with torturing Iraqis to be killed "slowly and painfully."
Does Mr. Park's hate of "f***ing Yankees" include those 36,000 American solders who, from 1950 to 1953, gave their lives so that he could live his life free of communist repression?
No good deed goes unpunished, I reckon.

On May 15, 2013, Ken Ward and Jay O'Hara anchored their lobster boat in the shipping channel off the Brayton Point Power Station in Somerset. Flying an American flag and a banner reading "#coalisstupid," the two men blocked the delivery of 40,000 tons of Appalachian mountaintop coal to New England's largest coal-burning power plant for a day.
At their trial, scheduled for Sept. 8 in Fall River District Court, Wood and O'Hara face charges of disturbing the peace, conspiracy, and motorboat violations. Although conviction could result in nine months of jail time, they'll admit to everything. They'll argue that it's really climate change and the government's ineffective policies that should be on trial.
Then they'll ask the jury to find them not guilty by reason of "necessity."
This trial will mark a pioneering invocation of the necessity defense, the longstanding legal doctrine that it is acceptable to commit a crime if you are preventing a greater harm. Traditionally, this defense is used for situations like a prisoner fleeing from a burning jail, but Wood and O'Hara's lawyers will make the more sweeping argument that their illegal interference with a coal delivery was justified in light of the greater danger of catastrophic climate change. In past cases, judges have blocked the attempt to use "necessity" as a defense by climate protesters. In this case, the defense has not been challenged. That means that in Bristol County, for the first time, the climate necessity defense appears bound for an American court.
The argument might not work, depending on what the jury thinks. But winning an acquittal is not necessarily the point. For political defendants, the necessity defense forces courts to address the moral issues underlying criminal acts of protest, drawing attention to activists' causes and claims. To build a case, Ward and O'Hara will essentially put the government on trial, arguing that the state of the climate is such a dire emergency, and government policy so inadequate, that civil disobedience is legally excusable.
As strongly as the activists feel about the chance to argue their cause in court, not everyone agrees that political necessity defenses belong in court. Though they've been used to draw attention to other causes—the Vietnam War, South African apartheid—critics argue that it's a misuse of the court system to ask juries to debate policy, and that protesters engaged in civil disobedience should accept the consequences of their actions. Even among activists, some think the necessity defense is, at best, a novelty that won't particularly help the cause.
Whatever the tactical merits of Ward and O'Hara's approach, however, their trial does suggest something about the position that climate has reached on the public agenda. In the past, the intrusion of major policy issues into otherwise unremarkable court proceedings has signaled a critical shift in the status quo. With the climate and morality being debated in a Fall River courtroom, we might well be seeing a similar sea change in how the public thinks about protecting of the atmosphere.
T he defense that Ward and O'Hara are preparing to present has a long pedigree. For hundreds of years, courts and juries have let defendants off the hook when their crimes were deemed necessary to prevent something worse from happening. In 1551, an English merchant successfully argued that he was justified in throwing precious cargo off his ship to avoid capsizing during a severe storm. In 1853, the mayor of San Francisco was found not liable for destroying a number of homes to halt the spread of an enormous fire. In 1920, an Arizona posse was acquitted after kidnapping and deporting a group of radical union members allegedly interfering with the war effort against Germany.
Political activists began using the defense during the Vietnam era, hoping to take advantage of widespread popular resistance to the war. In the 1970s and 1980s, the defense was frequently presented by antinuclear protesters and by critics of US military policy in Central America. Later, antiabortion demonstrators frequently attempted the defense after arrests at abortion clinics. The tactic has met with sporadic success. In 1985, activists were acquitted of trespass charges after an apartheid protest at the South African consulate in Chicago; two years later, Amy Carter, the president's daughter, was found not guilty of trespass and disorderly conduct by a Northampton jury following a demonstration against CIA recruitment policies.
Whether or not a necessity defense gets protesters off the hook, it turns the trial—deliberately—into a policy referendum rather than just a legal proceeding. Defendants pleading necessity must convince the jury that their actions were required to avoid a "greater evil"—which means, as part of that argument, the jury hears about this "greater evil" in detail. And juries are essentially asked to pass judgment on the morality of government policy and their fellow citizens' resistance to it.
This way of framing the issue allows activists to appeal to basic feelings of unfairness and injustice. "Underlying these protests is the sentiment that the government itself is acting illegally—the government's permission to the fossil fuel companies amounts to property damage and amounts to a breach of trust to the American people," said Mary Wood, a professor at the University of Oregon School of Law and author of the book "Nature's Trust," which advocates a more aggressive and consistent approach to environmental regulation.
Getting to trial can be the difficult part. Judges may find that there was no possible connection between the defendants' behavior and the evil they sought to remedy, or that the protesters had legal alternatives to their criminal action. In either case, the defense is thrown out.
In 2008, six British Greenpeace activists successfully argued the necessity defense to avoid trespass convictions after a protest at the Kingsnorth coal plant. In the United States, however, there are no reported cases of a judge allowing the defense to go to trial in a climate case. In 2011, environmental activist Tim DeChristopher was sentenced to two years in federal prison for disrupting a Bureau of Land Management auction to protest the agency's illegal opening of public lands to fossil fuel development. A federal judge ruled that his necessity defense was barred because his protest was an ineffective means of combating harmful land sales.
DeChristopher, who has been organizing publicity and support for the lobster boat defendants, believes that a series of acquittals based on the necessity defense could operate as a "lever for political change," signaling to the public that the law no longer lines up with our moral priorities.
As valuable as it may be to protesters, there are good reasons for judges to be leery of the defense. Unlike traditional necessity defenses in which there is a close causal connection between the defendant's action and the desired result—for example, stealing food from a cabin and avoiding starvation—most activists engaged in civil disobedience don't achieve immediate results through their actions. In a 1991 case, United States v. Schoon, the Ninth Circuit affirmed the conviction of three demonstrators who had spilled blood on the floor of an IRS office to protest US policy in El Salvador; their necessity defense had been denied by the lower court. Judge Robert Boochever, writing for the Ninth Circuit, decried the defense as a "'back door' attempt to attack government programs." Without the hope of actually remedying an evil, Boochever argued, protesters should not be allowed to escape punishment just because they believed their actions were moral.
Use of the necessity defense may also force juries to act in a role to which they are unsuited. Andrew D. Leipold, a professor at Illinois University College of Law and an expert on criminal procedure, points out that jurors are already asked to make extremely difficult decisions regarding truth, blame, and punishment. Asking them to resolve complicated policy debates—and by a simple response of "guilty" or "not guilty"—is unwise.
And when juries simply decide they disagree with the law, Leipold points out, the results may not be what activists bargain for. At times, juries have decided to acquit defendants for what now seem like terrible reasons: In the Jim Crow South, for example, whites frequently escaped punishment for crimes against black victims.
"Trials are not designed to [decide policy questions]," said Leipold. "When you try to get them to do it, I don't think they're very good at it. The rules of evidence are certainly not designed to account for it."
The awkward fit between major policy discussions and a local courtroom is, of course, part of what appeals to the Somerset protesters: It's a way to bring new energy to a familiar debate. They've enlisted national figures to testify in their defense—climate scientist Jim Hansen and Bill McKibben, founder of the environmental organization 350.org, are expected to appear in court. And, in a nod to the legacy of civil disobedience, Ward and O'Hara named their lobster boat the Henry David T.
If the Fall River jury accepts Ward and O'Hara's arguments and acquits them—and there's no guarantee that it will—it will be following in a centuries-old tradition that goes back much further than the modern defense tactic. Under British rule, colonial juries consistently refused to convict smugglers, as an indictment of deeply unpopular trade restrictions. Juries in abolitionist New England were famous for acquitting violators of the Fugitive Slave Act in the lead-up to the Civil War. Prohibition violators frequently escaped conviction by their peers in the 1920s. More recently, juries have let so-called mercy killers like Dr. Jack Kevorkian off the hook for murder.
In each case, the jury and the defendants have agreed that something more than the fate of a single individual was at stake; what's occurring is a referendum on the wisdom of government policy itself, with the suggestion that the normal channels for changing it are inadequate.
Such trials can be an arena in which real change can begin to take place, argue Charles F. Abel, a professor of government at Stephen F. Austin State University in Texas, and Frank H. Marsh, a professor of philosophy at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, in their book "In Defense of Political Trials." Such cases, they say, not only express shifts in public opinion, they amount to "a form of collective negotiation and exchange among the individuals and groups affected by the different possible outcomes."
From the Scopes case to the trial of the Chicago Seven, the courtroom has served as a bellwether for where popular sentiment is headed. Ward and O'Hara are wagering that the law and public sentiment have caught up with them and their lobster boat. If their climate necessity defense succeeds, then thousands of climate activists like them will hope to tap into the same wellspring of popular indignation, asking juries—if they can get to them—to acknowledge what their government won't.

Work is far advanced on alternatives to the "renowned" Bonny Terminal
Nigerian companies pumping crude oil into the Nembe Creek Trunk Line (NCTL) have advanced so much in progressing alternative routes that several sources are "so sure" that there will be hardly a drop of crude pumped into that line by June 2020.
The 97kilometre pipeline, with capacity to pump 150,000Barrels Per Day, is a favourite of oil thieves, who routinely hack into the line, creating as many as 24 illegal bunkering points that require constant plugging.
The facility starts from the Nembe Creek field in Oil Mining Lease (OML) 29, and ends at a manifold at the Cawthorne Channel field on OML 18. From here, crude is evacuated the short distance to the Bonny oil terminal.
Up to 600,000 BOPD of liquids can be evacuated from the end point at Cawthorne Channel.
Shell doesn't pump its own crude into NCTL, but sends the liquid into the short line between Cawthorne Channel and the Bonny Terminal.
AITEO, Eroton and Newcross, three Nigerian independents which evacuate their crude through the NCTL, lose as much as 40% of the crude routinely to oil theft, sources tell Africa Oil+Gas Report. They have each been working assiduously on alternatives, with Eroton reportedly being ahead of others, to install alternative pipelines that evacuate their crude to FPSOs on the Atlantic.
"The famous Bonny Terminal looks like is about to lose its relevance after several decades", sources tell Africa Oil+Gas Report. NCTL was reopened on July 8, 2018, a full month after the latest shut in for repairs.
This story was earlier published in the July 2018 edition of the Africa Oil+Gas Report monthly.

The Convert had previously played at The Gate in 2012, press night at the Young Vic in Waterloo was a glitzy affair now with both Wright and Gurira having a "considerably higher profile" this was almost a West End premiere- it could not have been anything less.
Director Ola Ince's delivery of this production is well tinned from the cast to the three-act structure, to Naomi Dawson's set all expectations are meet. There is no compromise on intention as the play starts and closes with untranslated conversations in the Shona dialect, a brave and powerful move.
Gurira's The convert explores British colonialism, class and religion in southern Africa, act 1 begins in 1895 in Mashonaland, renamed Southern Rhodesia, then what we know as Zimbabwe. As colonialism spread across Africa during the nineteenth century Christian missionary work across the continent was expanded and used as a means of divide and rule. Gurira uses religion as a driver for disruption among the local Shona tribespeople causing cultural and social unbalance. Survival of Christianity in post-colonial countries signified, to many, a loss of tradition and culture and a recognition and acceptance by native people of the superiority of Western faith.
Chilford (Paapa Essiedu) and Jekesai (Wright) lead a superb cast, Chilford a catholic teacher takes in Jekesai a young girl fleeing her uncle to escape a forced marriage. Chilford, the wannabe priest sees this as an opportunity to further his quest of converting the local Shona tribespeople or the "savages" as he calls them. Chilford with his assumed "Englisher" grandeur is somewhat crippled by his own scrambled use of the English language like when he describes his day as a "bag of mixtures".
Jekesai's uncle (Jude Akuwudike) merely sees Jekesai's marriage as a transactional process her father has died and Jekesai belongs to him. Jekesai is renamed Ester by Chilford and by the end of act two we see her forsaking the traditions of the Shona. Her aunt, Mai Tamba (Pamela Nomvete) works for Chilford, the cunning maid who feigns loyalty to her master but brings witchcraft into the house and performs Shona rituals in his absence, making a mockery of Bafu, the name given by the Shona people to the Zimbabwean middle classes like Chilford who betray their people.
Gurira's The Convert reminds us of the place women had in that society, it speaks a female voice. When Chilford wants to send Ester to school he is questioned by the Chancellor (Ivannoh Jeremiah) as to why he is sending "a girl to school", to him women are best placed in the domestic sphere doing household chores, cooking, washing, and child bearing. The arrogant Chancellor threatens to exercise his right to take Ester by force even though he is about to be married to Prudence, (Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo) a middle-class woman who believes she is more English than the English. Prudence represents the strong woman, well ahead of her time who proudly announces and takes glee in being more educated than the men, more so than both Chilford and the Chancellor. Surprisingly despite her status and her love for tea she holds dear her Shona believes and wants Ester to become her real self and not forsake their traditions. The "Whites" are invisible as all the cast are black, but we are constantly reminded of their power with references like "the courts follow in the ways of the Lord".
Playing Ester's young cousin Tamba is Rudolph Mdlongwa who takes pride in his tradition and his anger towards white rule eventually leads to death. Dawson's set is a square box that creates the "house" that Chilford lives in and is used as a means to create dramatic effect when the large box encases the cast and you watch their form in what appears to be a frosted plastic. There is not much in the study that Chilford conducts his teachings but a wooden table, chair and chaise longue all very much fitting of the Victorian era. A large cross hangs above. Ince manages to get just the right measure of comedy, pathos and intensity from the cast of 7, all punching in the heavyweight league. Cast: Letitia Wright, Jude Akuwudike, Paapa Essiedu, Ivanno Jeremiah, Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo, Rudolph Mdlongwa, Pamela Nomvete (Voice and dialect coach Hazel Holder).

By Andre Hui (14A03A) and Darren Teoh (14S06R)
A rather important philosopher once said: "The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing." The central task of Knowledge and Inquiry would be summed up in the process of proving (or disproving) that quote. Picking apart exactly how we know what we claim to know is what you'll be doing if you choose to offer this subject.
The first (and hopefully only) reason why you should consider taking KI is interest in the subject. Under no circumstances should you offer KI solely because you wouldn't like to offer GP. Epistemology—the study of knowledge—is definitely not everybody's cup of tea. If you can't imagine yourself killing your brain cells over why the notion of good may simply be a human construct, or whether Mathematics is discovered or invented, then KI is most likely not the subject for you.
On the other hand, if your interest is piqued by questions such as 'how do we know an artwork is beautiful?' or 'is scientific knowledge really reliable in giving us an account of how the world actually is?', then you'd want to sign yourself right up. Having the annoying habit of being fascinated by asking (and sometimes receiving answers to) 'why?' and 'how do you know that?' will come in handy. Classes are often lively affairs, being discussions rather than lectures.
In other words, KI is a H2 subject offered in lieu of General Paper (GP). In terms of subject combination, assuming you took Mother Tongue, you would either be taking 5 H2 subjects (as some of the current Year 5 batch is doing), 4 H2 subjects and 1 H1 subject, or even just 4 H2 subjects.
Since KI is also classified as a Knowledge Skill, how exactly does GP differ from KI? The skills they use are, at their core, similar. Both require you to understand extracts from various articles; both require you to critically analyse and construct arguments. Both also require you to know your content knowledge. However, the similarities end there.
As mentioned earlier, KI focuses on the study of knowledge. To that end, essay topics and passages will undoubtedly be related to epistemology. While perhaps covering a range of topics as broad as GP, the focus on KI is very decidedly on nature and construction of knowledge in one of seven particular fields: maths, science, ethics, history, the social sciences, aesthetics, and culture. A link to the syllabus on the SEAB website is found here. As a H2 subject, you would be expected have content knowledge of great depth and breadth; after all, the seven fields together span nearly the whole of human knowledge.
KI also does not have a comprehension, summary or application question segment – instead, by the time you reach the A-levels, KI papers will consist of two short argument analyses and evaluations, one longer argument analysis and evaluation, and two essays (spread over one 3-hour paper, and another 2-hour paper).
One last way in which KI differs from GP is the presence of an Independent Study (IS) – a 3000-word research paper spanning around 8 months from conceptualisation to submission that constitutes 40% of your A-level grade. It is given in the October of your first year, and usually submitted in the September of your second year. You will get to pick any topic you like should you manage to present how you would tackle epistemic issues in that topic convincingly. Past year ISes have seen papers on the Brothers Grimm's fairytales, the law of supply and demand, typography, psychology, and even theology. The only thing that is required is that your paper address an epistemic issue in that topic.
The pragmatist in you might also want to know how offering KI affects one's university applications. KI is still a relatively new subject (being started in RI in 2006). It is not recognised as a content subject (implying that offering KI is not a prerequisite for any courses). Due to its relative youth, some UK universities (for example, the London School of Economics) do not recognise KI as a subject. (But others, like University College London, have explicitly permitted it for admissions purposes.) Acceptance amongst the Russell group of universities varies, as well.
As for Oxbridge colleges, we understand that Oxford might not recognize KI for some of its courses, but would happily accept it for its Law and PPE courses. On the other hand, KI is perfectly fine when applying to US universities. That being said, for those universities which do not recognise KI, one can still meet their selection criteria (for example, three H2 distinctions), with your other subjects. This author recommends you do your own research in order to find out exactly which universities reject KI, and whether those universities would be a likely place you would head to. You could start here.
Consider KI if you have more than just a slight interest in epistemology. Otherwise, it'll become a drag for you along the way; and once your interest wanes, it gets hard to keep up with the content you're supposed to know.

Any way to make new Developer account in google?
edited November 2013 in General Discussion
Has anyone figured out a way to make a new developer account after being banned from google? I made 2grand a month and now im screwed I invested money in advertising and everything for my company and now its a waste. Any ideas?
Why was your account banned?
Pinjam and earlier uploder for suspended apps with new apk
Register a new account on a family member with a new credit card. That's not against any rules. Or you can start a company and register the account on that. If you are employed, starting a sole proprietorship type of business cost very little (here, where I live, it's about 45 EUR per month).
If you live in the US it may be better for you to start a business as an LLC instead of a sole proprietorship (if you decide to go this route). An LLC will not be linked to your name like a sole proprietorship will and if something goes wrong, say a lawsuit, only assets that your LLC owns can be sought for damages. Whereas, if its a sole proprietorship they can go after anything that you personally own. Here's a link to a fairly big article that will explain more about what business choices you have:
It was banned for to many keywords in the description
I did make an account under a family members name but somehow they linked the accounts. I talked to a guy at the android google headquarters in mountain view and he said just to email them until they get tired and give you your account back because he said u cant mask your ip or any other stuff because we invented half the stuff your using so well link the accounts
@rudyfbaby: Did that account get banned, also? A friend of mine is successfully running his second account the way I described it yesterday. Another friend opted for an alternative - he makes the apps and sends them to a friend of his to upload them.
But it's useful to know that if nagged enough, maybe they will restore the account.

Right? I know! It never happens!
But my husband's best friend came out Friday night, a two hour drive for him, and he hung out with us all weekend!
I made thick crust pizza from Gluten Free on a Shoestring from her Bakes Bread book. It sat in the car for a bit on the way to my in-laws and rose a second time, so it was very fluffy, but it was delicious! I've got it down to an art now; we know what sauce is safe for my husband, we shred our own mozzarella, we cook a safe pork sausage, so it hardly bothered his stomach.
But I will admit that I did cheat on my Keto diet this weekend. A lot.
Then my my husband, his best friend, and my in-laws got hilariously drunk without me. Because I was the designated driver. So I definitely just spent the evening listening to less and less coherent political discussions.
Fun times.
The next day I made pancakes and bacon for breakfast, but I made the pancakes SO THICK they wouldn't pour at first, so I had to keep thinning with water until they were pourable. And then I burnt the last batch because life.
Afterwards, we drove through country roads in the friend's convertible enjoying the Driftless Area fall colors and went to an apple orchard for apples and cider. I bought three caramel apples. Which was kind of silly… I didn't want the two they had displayed, so I asked for three because I refuse to be that jerk who tells them to make another when they don't like what's offered.
And of course I ate all three.
So not Keto.
So delicious.
And then we had Culvers.
And I went to bed while the guys played Project Cars II to their hearts' content.
Sunday I failed to be a good host and mostly just staggered around and growled at everyone. I did try to be polite, and I was glad he came out, but I was also very glad to have my space back again.
I mean, I had to remember to shut the bathroom door and stuff. My husband and I NEVER do that. Why bother? There's just two of us.
So, yeah, thank you for visiting, friend-of-my-husband's! Hope your wife feels better soon.
She actually was sick this time. Usually she just says she's sick because she doesn't want to see us, I think. She thinks I'm weird.
Well, to be fair, I am weird.
Can't fault her for that.
How often do your friends visit? My husband's friends have visited a total of six times. In four years. Mine visit about once every other month or so, so that's nice. We've gotten bad about visiting my bestie though because my work schedule makes it a pain. How do you encourage people to visit?
Inquiring minds want to know!

The phrase "duplicate content" is mentioned a lot when it comes to website SEO. Your website ranking will be lower if you have duplicate content issues.
Duplicate content on your website is a result of sloppy programming or setup. In reality, your website will feed the search engines the same information multiple times. In response, the search engine will remove you from the SERPs until you fix the problem.
Google, Yahoo and Bing are all fighting for the best "user experience." That experience includes not including badly functioning websites. It would be frustrating for the all of us if we had to deal with that every day.
On the other hand, something that we all seem to be dealing with every day is duplicate status updates on Facebook.
Just because you have the ability to cross-post between social websites does not mean you should.
You need to determine where your primary users follow you. It could be your blog, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, LinkedIn, YouTube or even Photobucket. Then make that social site your primary site where you post your new content and provide feedback.
Facebook has made it very easy to become your primary site, and that's what the problem is.
You need to prevent duplicate status posts from appearing on your Facebook Wall every time you also post a status message on another site.
* Do not post link shares to your blog on Facebook if your blog already feeds your Facebook account.
* Do not post similar status updates to Facebook if your Twitter already fed the same message.
* Do not post a link to your Photobucket on Facebook if the newly posted photos on Photobucket were automatically fed.
Examine the settings you have for all your social networks. Make sure you keep track of what network will automatically repost to another network then make yourself a standard new content posting strategy so it does not duplicate itself.
User experience is key. Just like the search engines that will block you because you did something wrong, people will become annoyed and ignore you if you over-saturate your social networks.
You should think twice the next time a social site asks you to share your information automatically with Facebook.

Cassini passed within 2,043 kilometers (1,270 miles) of the surface of Titan on Saturday, January 14, 2006 (Pacific Standard Time) in its eleventh targeted flyby (after a more distant flyby a day earlier.) The event heralds a new phase in NASA's mission to the Saturnian system. For the next two and a half years, all close flybys by Cassini will be of Titan in an effort to answer the mysteries of this enigmatic moon. 13 targeted flybys are planned for this year.
Titan is the most Earth-like neighbor in our solar system with a similar predominance of nitrogen in its atmosphere, the presence of river bed and sand dunes, and other features that may be lakes, shorelines, and volcanoes. These similarities suggest that geological processes work very much the same on both Titan and the Earth, despite Titan's rocks being made of water ice and its surface solvent being liquid methane compared to silicate rocks and liquid water on the Earth.
Until Cassini and the Huygens landing probe began exploring Titan in 2004, little was known about the moon because of its thick atmosphere. Huygens landed on the surface of Titan in January 2005 while Cassini repeatedly scanned the surface with its instruments using various wavelengths of light that can see through the haze. The flybys planned for this year will map Titan in unprecedented detail while various other experiments will try to explain phenomena like Titan's magnetic field and interaction with the other members of the Saturnian system.
