The government's plans and strategy pronouncements are undoubtedly getting louder in declaring its commitment to efficient and sustainable use of water. But this has not led to any basic change in policies of the Capital Development Authority (CDA). Rather a lethal combination of bad water governance and incompetence continued and the authority damaging the government's ambition to make Islamabad's water supply a model for others cities.
The emphasis and preoccupation continues to be overwhelmingly in favour of massive investments to augment water supply from Ghazi Barotha, Indus River, by spending Rs30 billions instead concentrating on institutional reform to improve weak water governance that encourages overexploitation and use of water. According to project details, instead of wasting public exchequer on lifting water from a site 915 feet below the level of Islamabad, CDA ought to focus on efficient use of existing water resources and rectify the situation simultaneously.
In the past 35 years Rawalpindi has been almost every year in the form of the swelling of Lai River (nullah) causing 23 severe floods in Rawalpindi including the historical flood occurring in July 2001 (considered as a national disaster). The fundamental cause of flood in Rawalpindi is lack of storage of rainwater coming from Margalla hills by the CDA management as 80 per cent of catchment of Lai falls in Islamabad. In 1980, Margalla hills were declared as a National Park (reserved forest) by the efforts of WWF and now forest at Margalla hills will be converted into a thick natural vegetative cover. An analysis of Islamabad's rainfall data for the period 1980 to 2006 reveals that this thick forest canopy provides an excellent model for this.
The highest percentage of water losses speaks of the efficiency and competence of CDA. Though Capital Development Authority engaged a number of consultants, including JICA (1988), Nespak (1992), MM Pakistan (Pvt) Ltd (1998) and a special study conducted with the help of the government of Japan in 2000, for the improvement of the supply system all the consultants recommended that first 60 per cent leakage must be addressed before exploring new water resources. Lately in November 2005, the government of France conducted a study on "strategy for the control and management of unaccounted for water" through world reputed experts in this basic and chronic problem of water supply system. The study substantiates the previous findings as well.
According to the statistics, per capita availability of water in Islamabad is more than 440 litres per person as compared to other highly consuming cities of Asia like Shanghai and Seoul, which consume 250 and 210 litres per person respectively. Besides, receiving the highest per capita water per person, the residents of Islamabad get water only for one hour throughout the day. In other words it means that despite the existence of sufficient water, residents of the city get far less quantity, even less than the minimum amount according to the charter of United Nation, i.e. 100 litres of water per person per day. CDA management, being a model civic authority, neither acknowledges this right nor recognises water as an economic commodity.
Another gloomy aspect that illustrates gross negligence and mismanagement of the CDA is non-metering and intermittent water supply operation philosophy, causing water wastage at the consumer end. This devastating policy forced dwellers to install electric pumps on water connections due to low pressure. Inadequate and irregular supply of water is also one of the fundamental causes of contamination and leakage in secondary water supply network. In the original water supply plan, meters were planned to be installed but later declared obsolete, visibly an attempt to hide massive leakage.
An interesting fact that may arouse curiosity of the readers is that water meters were installed in Murree in June 1887 and the system is still working. Effective water-metering system makes water administration accountable on water losses. Islamabad is the only capital where flat rates are charged from consumers irrespective of water consumption. Just imagine the discriminatory policy of CDA that a house in a posh sectors mostly having big swimming pools installed additional illegal connections charged on the same flat rates as small houses in other sectors.
This apartheid policy forced dwellers to store more water than needed. Not only this, an inadequate and irregular supply of water due to low pressure also forced dwellers to install electric pumps on water connections, bore holes, and dig wells to increase the supply of water; thus causing inequitable distribution and water feuds. The metering system increases the awareness of water being consumed in a household and, therefore, reduces wastage and leakages. This in turn helps to conserve precious water resources and benefits the environment.
The tract record of CDA on the management of water resources is an example of its own kind. For instance in February, March 2005, more than 29, 000 million gallons of water from Khanpur and Simly dams spilled over and escaped to the sea resulting in another artificial crises in the following months for the residents. Khanpur Dam can alone cater the water needs of the capital till 2050, firstly if its conveyance root is adopted according to recommendation of JICA, WAPDA and other international experts. The same will also save more than Rs95 million annually on account of electricity bill alone for pumping water. Secondly, the addresses the chronic problem of seepage in Khanpur dam that is 35 million gallons monthly.
There is a need to bridge the gap between the higher management sitting in the offices and ground realities pertaining to potential existing water resources. The need is to utilise additional storage capacity of Simly after the construction of auxiliary spillway, tapping water from the seasonal water of streams of Margalla Hills, optimum use of Khanpur water resource, in addition to digital water meters, giving cost effective solutions of shortage of drinking water for Islamabad city.
Water conservation and rain harvesting techniques were part of the building by-laws 2005 but were never enforced. The immediate example for CDA authorities is in India where rain harvesting is mandatory in many cities. Even, the annual requirement of the Indian president's palace is met from its rooftop rainwater.
Spending 30 billion rupees on bringing water from the Indus River would not only be an economic disaster but also prove to be a catastrophe in terms of operating cost. Efficiently managing existing water resources is the call of the day which will make Islamabad the model of water governance for other cities of Pakistan as proposed and planned by the Federal Capital Commission in October 1959, while shifting the capital from Karachi.

Viral video marketing: T-Mobile Angry Birds Live case study
Just this morning I came across an excellent video by T-Mobile which has tons of viral potential. Angry Birds is clearly the most popular game application on the market and this is a great example of how innovative videos can go viral. Just like T-Mobile and Rovio, your business could create huge brand awereness and be the centre of attention.
It is very difficult to create viral ads on purpose, they just happen and setting yourself out to create viral ads as a goal could easily be a missfire. But if your business tries to create meaningful or enjoyable content, people just might like it and share it with their friends. And that's the jackpot.
Viral videos Do's and Don't-s
- Do make it brief – two minutes at max.
- Don't fake it. People will find out.
- Do make people remember your video – make it shocking, amazing, fun, enjoyable, unexpected, etc.
- Don't make it an obvious advertisment. Selling your product will hardly ever create a viral effect.
- Make it easily shareable.

This bug fix release re-addresses previous attempts at fixing a bug (see releases 0.03 and 0.02). The issue seemed to be associated with architecture and where I have only developed on a 64-bit enabled platforms using a 64-bit enabled perl I could not replicate the issue, which was related to Perl's sprintf under 32-bit perl. I now use string indications (*s*) instead of signed integer (*d*) and it seems to work.
The issue was labelled: BDKFI-20. The change can be inspected in Fisheye.
The distribution will be made available via CPAN and your local mirror shortly or you can go to MetaCPAN.
Thanks to my colleague Erik Johansen for the assistance and pointer to what the problem was.

Tamil Nadu's laptop distribution scheme hit by delays3 min read . Updated: 13 Dec 2011, 12:45 AM IST
Tamil Nadu's laptop distribution scheme hit by delays
Tamil Nadu's laptop distribution scheme hit by delays
Chennai: Tamil Nadu's free laptop distribution scheme, involving what is said to be the largest government order for computing equipment in India, hangs in the balance as all but one vendor, hit by the hard disk shortage created by recent floods in Thailand, have refused to sign on to the state administration's delivery schedule.
The exception is Lenovo India Pvt. Ltd, which has agreed to begin delivery of its assigned order of 300,000 laptops by March, the official said. Even that company has asked for time until July to deliver the laptops, but the government has not yet acceded to the request, the official added.
The other vendors—HCL Infosystems Ltd and Acer India Pvt. Ltd with orders of 200,000 laptops each, Hewlett-Packard India Pvt. Ltd with 65,000, RP Infosystems Pvt. Ltd with 75,000, and Wipro Ltd with 50,000 laptops—had all refused to sign agreements with the government.
They claimed they could not adhere to the government's deadline because of a shortage of critical components from flood-affected Thailand, the official said.
Elcot has passed on the issue to the government, which will likely be making a decision on it in the next two weeks, according to the official.
The J. Jayalalithaa administration had set out to distribute 912,000 laptops this fiscal as part of its plan to give away 6.8 million laptops over its five-year term to students of government-aided higher secondary schools and colleges to fulfil a pre-election pledge.
Of the laptops scheduled to be distributed this fiscal, a token 6,600 were distributed in September to mark the launch of the government's giveaway schemes. Orders for the remainder were distributed among the six vendors last month at a price of ₹ 13,939 per machine, which was the lowest bid, submitted by Lenovo. At that price, the previously allocated budget of ₹ 912 crore will now go up to more than ₹ 1,200 crore, the Elcot official quoted above said.
In a meeting in the third week of November, all the vendors met state government representatives, and, invoking the force majeure clause—which exempts vendors from responsibility for delays due to "acts of God", or events over which a company has no control—had submitted letters asking the government for more time for the delivery of the laptops, said P.V. Vaidyanathan, head of operations at RP Infosystems.
RP has asked for a 45-day extension, Vaidyanathan said, expressing confidence that the company could execute its order by the end of April rather than March.
R. K. Amar Babu, managing director of Lenovo India, said there were a lot of variables in the transaction including software, service centres and delivery locations, and he would not like to comment on the timeline for the delivery of the order.
"The hard disk crisis putting pressure on the supply chain is a well known fact," he said. "We are keeping the Elcot team updated and discussions are ongoing about the timeline."
He added that according to industry updates, the flood situation in Thailand is expected to get better only by May.
S. Rajendran, chief marketing officer of Acer India, also said it would be difficult to comment on the timeline or the price points.
"There is no other alternative with us right now," he said. "But we the vendors are not backing away from the order. We are in discussions with the government so that they understand the constraint caused by a natural calamity."
In an email, a Wipro spokesperson said that the relevant executive was unavailable for comment.
An HCL spokesperson declined comment by email, saying, the company, as a policy, does not "comment on market speculation or any individual customer business".
Of the many information technology (IT) component manufacturers based in Thailand, hard disk makers bore the brunt of the flooding because their manufacturing plants are located in the flooded area. The Manufacturers' Association for Information Technology (Mait), the lobby group representing hardware companies in India, has in an earlier statement urged the government and consumers to be patient in the face of supply delays caused by the hardware shortage.
"We are appealing to the government and consumers to allow longer delivery period to combat the sudden shrinkage in the supply situation," Alok Bharadwaj, president of Mait, had said.
"Suppliers are making all efforts to divert stocks to India to cater to a few large orders, but it takes time. They should be spared of penalties or strictures on delays caused by the devastation as this is an act of God," he said.

ROCHESTER STREETCARSNo. 12 in a series
by Charles R. Lowe
Nestled amongst several buildings on the west side of Portland Avenue just south of Norton Street, Portland loop is seen here with car 869. Since the car's image is a little blurry, we can assume 869 is moving. The "Portland" signing indicates that 869 is about to come to a halt after having just arrived. Soon, the operator will change all signs to "Dewey" and, after a short layover, head south to downtown Rochester.
The year of this photograph, the only information to survive with the negative over the years, is 1939. By this time, Portland loop was the outer terminal of this streetcar line, but before August 30, 1936, cars were operated beyond this point to Seabreeze. Our photographer, Steve Maguire, made at least two trips in 1939 to Rochester to photograph streetcars. During the first trip, on January 12 and 13, the snow cover was so deep that the 2000-series cars Maguire photographed in Dewey surface-subway service had drifting snow plastered on their fronts. Thus, the present photo seems to date from another trip.
Maguire's second and longest 1939 Rochester trip began on November 28 and lasted through December 1. The weather was fairly clear for most of his stay, and he made many fine photographs. While we may never know the exact date of this photo, we do know from other photos he made that on December 1, Maguire spent a sunny morning at East Main Station. Perhaps later that day he satisfied his curiosity about the Portland end of the Portland-Dewey car line and made his photo of 869 at Portland loop.
As it turns out, we can be especially thankful for Maguire's efforts as this appears to be the only known railfan photo of Portland loop. Perhaps the perpetual shadows from the surrounding buildings discouraged most railfans. How ironic it is that Maguire considered this blurry view of 869 to be expendable and either sold or traded it (probably to Rochester railfan Charles W. Yingling) soon after making it. This stroke of luck ended up preserving a unique view that might otherwise have been lost to posterity.

Megale Idea implies the goal of reestablishing a Greek state as it was before the invasion of turks from Moggolia, in 12th century. As ancient geographer Stravon wrote, greek world extended west from Sicily, to Mikra Asia and Euxenus Pontus to the east, and from Macedonia and Epirus, north, to Crete and Cyprus to the south. Still in those territories lived greek populations in the beginning of 20th century.
The dream of every Greek always had been to liberate all the territories who were under barbarian yoke, and establish a new state with Constantinople as its capital, as it had been in medieval times. After the achievement of Greek independence in 1821, the Megale Idea played a major role in Greek politics. Between two-thirds and three-quarters of the Greek people remained outside the borders of the limited Greece permitted by the Great Powers, who had no intention that a large Greek state should replace the Ottoman Empire.
Was the concept of liberating lands which belonged for 3000 years to Greeks and from which emerged the classical civilization, nationalism? It was as much as it was the desire of French, Belgians and other Europeans to be liberated from Nazis in 1942.
In the period 1912-1922, this dream almost came truth.

Helping people with computers... one answer at a time.
I've got a new Motorola E815 with EVDO and I pay an extra $20 per month for unlimited Internet, text messaging and more.
This thing can supposedly provide a fax and high-speed internet connection. So, at $20 a month for this service, why not dump my regular at-home Broadband ISP which costs $40 on top of digital cable TV service?
Well, I certainly feel your pain. My unlimited data plan costs me an additional $40 per month on top of my regular cellphone charges. Add to that the roughly $50 per month I pay for the DSL into my home, and it definitely adds up.
Now, granted, in my case it's my business, and I have strong reasons for needing both.
But even if I didn't, you wouldn't see me dumping the hardwired DSL just yet.
There are a some issues that crop up if you were to rely on cellular broadband as your sole source of connectivity.
Speed Even for EVDO, which is the current "latest, greatest, sexiest" technology for cellular data transmission, speed isn't all it's cracked up to be. I'm hearing various reports from people using EVDO that, while they occasionally get near the quoted max transmission rates, it's often far less. Apparently the actual throughput is very location specific. That makes sense to me, as I would expect it to be very dependant on the strength of the cellular signal. Just at a gut level, it seems that each faster technology that comes along is correspondingly more sensitive to signal quality.
Since you already have the phone, my advice there is to try it. Set up where you think you'll be using things, and see if the speed matches your expectations. My guess is that, moving from a cable service, you may be seriously disappointed.
"All you can eat?" I have heard rumors that, particularly with the EVDO services, if you use too much of your unlimited data plan, you may be charged extra. What? That's what I said... it implies that your unlimited data plan may, in fact, not be truly "unlimited" at all. If you suddenly move all your work to that cellular connection, you could blow through whatever that ceiling is pretty quickly.
My advice here is to do the research. Do not rely on in-store salespeople for this. Call the service provider, scan the discussion boards on the internet, and see what's really happening. I'm not saying that it will happen, because I've not seen any official statements, but if true, you could be in for a rude surprise.
Networking Using your cell phone for connectivity is something typically designed to be done with a single computer. It is possible, using Internet Connection Sharing, to share that connection with other computers on a local area network, but it's a different set up, and requires that one computer be on at all times any of the others might want to access the internet.
Dropped Calls You'll need some way to reestablish dropped calls. Data calls are occasionally dropped, just like voice. When that happens to me, I have to reach over to my Treo and push a couple of buttons to reestablish the call - it's not something I can do from my laptop's keyboard.
My recommendation is to rely on cellular as your sole provider only if you have no other choice. And really research the implications, should you go that route.
Article C2646 - May 6, 2006 « »
I have switched to cellular broadband and have been pretty satisfied with it. I have used it this summer from Florida to Utah with no problems. Speed has benn OK for me but I don't do a lot of large file transfers.
The question I have regards security. How safe is my connection from intruders who might try to infiltrate my computer? Do I need to install firewall software like I used with my DSL connection? I am running Windows XP Home Edition, SP3, with the Windows Firewall enabled.
Hash: SHA1
While it's not *perfectly* safe (what is?), it's safe enough
for me that I typically just enable my software firewall -
in other words your "windows firewall enabled" is good
enough for me.

Havili Signs With The Raiders
We reported a few weeks ago that Tonga hooker, Siliva Havili, was still without a club for 2018.
The Canberra Raiders have decided to take on the off contract rake on what we are hearing is a 1 year contract.
The signing of Havili adds further speculation around the future of Kurt Baptiste, Hull KR are rumoured to be in the running for his signature.
Havili will likely be the Raiders man of choice in the 9 shirt during Hodgson's absence, this move may have just given the 24 year-old's career a second wind, having failed to play a single NRL game in 2017.
We will have to wait and see what the future holds for the Tongan international, as he is currently competing with Garvey and Baptiste for the 9 spot for now.

FAQ: What is Graphic News' fair price policy?
Graphic News has a fair price policy and adjusts rates to reflect usage and administrative costs. Prices are agreed with Graphic News depending on the circumstances to be fair and reasonable at all times.
- The type and number of graphics used: Prices need to reflect production costs -- some graphics may cover whole tabloid pages or have extensive coding and live results feeds, whereas others can be as small as a logo or flag. To calculate prices, each graphic is given a Price Code depending on it's type, with "1" being for a typical two column static news graphic, and, say, "0.2" for a logo. Prices are then adjusted so that archive graphics have a lower price than new topical graphics. Discounts then applied for packages or multi-buy's (i.e. when more than one graphic are charged on one invoice).
- The Administrative costs:
- The cost of delivery needs to be taken into account (for example, whether graphics are selected and downloaded by the user themselves, or placed by Graphic News in a "drop box" for easy collection). Using embed code can be very convenient for a digital publishers, but it costs Graphic News to use a distributed world network with load sharing so the graphic loads rapidly regardless of the hit rates anywhere in the world.
- The cost of invoicing and revenue collection is also material. Invoices for subscriptions at a fixed pre-agreed rate each month cost less to prepare than invoices dependent on a download report that may need to be adjusted manually for updates and if different formats of the same graphic have been downloaded. Some invoices may even need to be signed and sent by courier with a residency certificate, whethereas others can be paid by card over the phone. Online payments can also avoid witholding tax (a tax deducted at source for royalty payments but not for e-services), but may incur a local sales tax.
- Which publication: For publishers using graphics for the first time, obtaining a graphic is somewhat different from buying a can of beans. The price of beans can vary in different countries, but once you have bought it you can cook it however you like. With a creative products like a graphic, the fee you pay usually depends on where they are going to be published. So a price to use in a national advertising campaign could be different from use in a small village newsletter. The price in a country with a low cost of living can also be lower than in a country where artists are paid more. Crediting and other factors can also be important.

My niece's birthday is coming up and I wanted to try to be early (or at least on time) with sending her card. Step one is done, now just to make sure it gets in the mail on time!
I wanted to use the new Balloon Celebration bundle from the Stampin' Up! 2016 Occasions catalog. It is a fun set with so many options! I love the fact that there is a punch for the balloons. A little secret (confession) though. I forgot where I put the punch so I fussy cut the balloons for this card. Afterwards, I spent some time hunting for the punch and found it! So, next time it will be a little easier to use this stamp set.
For this card I started with Whisper White and mixed a drop of Island Indigo ink with alcohol and brushed the ink mixture on the cardstock. The balloons are Melon Mambo and More Mustard (retired color from Stampin' Up!). Another confession, I still haven't cleared out my scraps since the last color refresh from SU and so I thought I pulled out Crushed Curry. Alas, I did not. I wanted to use Crushed Curry because it is a brighter color and would look really great with the Melon Mambo. The More Mustard looks good too ;0).
Apart from fussy cutting the balloons, this card was pretty easy to put together. For the bow I used the new thick baker's twice (basic black and melon mambo) and pulled apart the colors to get only the melon mambo. I made a fork bow using only two tines to make a smaller bow.
A fun card that I hope my niece will enjoy!
Stay warm everyone!

As a result of no television and limited access to media, I've been passing my time with an assortment of books. And you know what? I've enjoyed every minute of it — curling up on the beach with a good book, introducing my students to the world of literature, and exchanging favorites with other volunteers. Living, and working, on island time has allowed me to rid myself of the notion that I must always be busy. I've taken time for myself — to enjoy, reflect, seek, and ponder. Part of this self-discovery has been through the words and stories of others.
So, here's what I've been reading over the past year — some by choice, others because they were easily accessible. I've organized them alphabetically. I feel bad picking favorites.
Everyone should make time for a good book. If you are unable, you are too busy.

Middleton is willing to make this the decisive gift, the one that people need to show or shut up about.
Middleton then goes on (p.123) and sees the loss of moral superiority and spiritual quality when the Church becomes part of the Roman Empire, but that's of course the Protestant strategy of dating the split, when the true light was lost, providing the target to which the Reformation can aim back.
The problem with the "popish legends", as Middleton called St Augustin's narration of miracles (p.140), was that they were on the verge of crossing over into reliques on the one hand (Middleton mentions St Steven) and had all the odium of this quintessential anti-Protestant issue as well.
Of course, the sources, e.g. Chrysostomos, were just as disappointed in some sense that the miracles had ceased, and were blaming lack of faith as the reasons---thence the claim about St Paul's handkerchief (p.131).
In general the Protestant criticism was, specifically mentioning Cardinal Robert Bellarmine (who was notorious to English Protestants due to his involvement in the Oath of Allegiance debate of James I), that once Christianity had become state religion, the Church would no longer pray for but curse the princes that were in her way (p.157).
Thus, Middleton can write (p.162), in good Protestant stance (though he is paraphrasing the Church fathers' position at that point):
The History of Gospel, I hope may be true, though the History of the Church be fabulous.The miracles are unhelpful because they take away from the the calm of the Christianity.
[The, RCK] ... sole tendency [of miracles, RCK] is to recommend, as a perfect pattern of the Christian life, the most extravagant enthusiasm and contemptible superstition, that any age or history perhaps has ever produced. (p.173)The story of the tongues cut out by the Arian princes from the confessors who can then still speak is scientifically relativized by the description of two cases where people, who were born without tongue or lost it due to small-pox induced ulcers, were yet able to speak (p.184f).
Yet the humble testimony of this single Physician, grounded on real experiment, will overturn at once all his pompous list of dignified authorities, and convince every man of judgement, that this pretended miracle, like all other fictions, which have been imposed upon the world, under that character, owed it's [sic!] whole credit to our ignorance of the powers of nature. (p.185)

Backline Soccer is officially one-year-old today and as I sit back and try to reflect on the last year (ten months for me) from a social media perspective, I think of where we have come from and where I believe this site has the ability to go.
I was initially approached by our Editor-in-Chief, RJ Allen, to perhaps start writing for the site but even just ten months ago, I did not feel my overall knowledge was nearly as good as it needed to be to write regularly about women's soccer. I had followed the major events and pretty much any USWNT I could for years but had not followed much else outside of that. Now, I am happy to say that is not the case.
From there we diverted off about how I felt about running social media for the site and ten months later here I am in charge of social media and seeing all of the trial and error pay off in dividends for Backline Soccer.
Initially, I was the sole person running our social media accounts. But as we started to expand, put out more great content, and brought on more people it became harder to manage all of the intricate tasks of running social media without help. Additionally, at the time, and up until May of this year, I was a full-time graduate student getting my Master's in Music Industry Administration, commuting twice a week 130 miles round trip to school, and spending a bulk of my time drowning in group projects or attending networking events.
So we set out to expand our social media team and I now manage a great four women team. Alyssa Zajac, Becca Kimble, and Caitlin de Souza help me collectively run this social media machine and have been an asset to Backline Soccer. Without all of them, I could not make this run as successful as it does.
Alyssa handles our Facebook page while covering Twitter in the mornings as well. She has been a huge help in covering and handling any task I ask of her and doing so efficiently.
Becca handles our Scouting Report media side, handling all things from scheduling tweets about the show, live-tweeting TSR every single week, and more. This was a side that we were lacking in initially and she has been irreplaceable in helping get our separate TSR Twitter off of the ground and running.
Caitlin runs our Instagram and is our graphic extraordinaire. Any graphic or table or image or quote I needed to look amazing, she has been up for the task. She's added a flair and visual likability to all of our great content.
Each and every person on the social media team is so important. As most of our work happens behind the scenes and sometimes it can feel like a thankless job but I appreciate their help so much.
Let's jump back to my hiring. In the beginning, Backline Soccer was a small group trying to get the site off of the ground and make our name in the world of women's soccer. With social media being a new aspect we were looking to use to get more people involved in the site, the beginning months were a lot of trial and error, frustrations, finding what was working and what wasn't, and a lot of discussion on the best way to do it all. While it was not always an easy or simple road, the end result has been rewarding. To see our Twitter start from about 320 followers when I took over as Social Media Director, to over 1300 has been a great joy for me because it shows the hard work my colleagues and I have been putting in has been working.
The road to get to that 1300, though, as I mentioned, was not an easy one. On the positive side, my knowledge of women's soccer, in general, has expanded more than it ever would have if I had not been working for Backline Soccer and around these amazing individuals. But there were many days for the first few months or so, on the other side of the token, that I wasn't sure I had made the right decision and that I should be continuing on.
As social media is the current and future way to market and promote your business, the pressure to make sure almost every single thing coming out on social media is almost perfect can become a bit overwhelming. And that pressure and some frustration at points became a little too much for me. But I have learned more ways to compromise, let things go, and handle things over the last year that have helped me in other aspects of my life as well.
In dealing with social media, there has to be a fun element and joy to the job of promoting my colleague's great work the right way, while making sure our social media stays on the brand that we have set out for it to be. I have worked very hard to make sure I understood all I could about how my colleagues operated and how their pieces came across because, at the end of the day, social media is what is promoting their work and putting it out for the world to see. Then there is the daily flow to pay attention to and make sure it is continually working.
For me, handling social media took up more time initially than I had thought it would at the beginning but I enjoy what I do and I enjoy getting to see all of the great engagement from the work our site continues to put out each and every day. Handling the day-to-day I see a different side of how everything works and how our followers respond. And I have learned a lot in the last ten months that I do not think I could have learned anywhere else.
I've also learned that TweetDeck is woman's best friend if you run social media, not to take myself so seriously sometimes, and how to work continually on making myself the best colleague, social media director, and human being that I can be. The perspective I get from my fellow Backline Soccer colleagues, even if we do not always agree on the same things, is something I value a lot and has helped frame some aspects of my life in my late 20s that as a teen or even a 21-year old I do not think I could have learned.
As we reach one year I can't help but look to the future and hope for the continued success of the site and of all of my amazing colleagues. I hope that one day, the people who work so tirelessly to cover women's soccer will be compensated for their work. And I hope one day that the women's game gets the full respect it deserves. I believe it is coming in the future, as we have made strides to make it happen, but we still have a long way to go. We have truly built something great here at Backline Soccer and it has been a privilege over the last ten months to manage the social media for this company.
If you want to follow my ramblings about women's soccer, the WNBA, music, and everything in between, you can find me on Twitter at @AdrianaHoop.
For now, I end here:
"Stay true to yourself, yet always be open to learn. Work hard, and never give up on your dreams, even when nobody else believes they can come true but you. These are not clichés but real tools you need no matter what you do in life to stay focused on your path." –Phillip Sweet
And the song that was the inspiration for my first tattoo, from a country artist who isn't afraid to push the boundaries, with a message that can speak to anyone if you just believe in yourself and the power you have to decide your own future. "Follow your arrow wherever it points."

Onam season is considered the biggest season for Malayalam film makers, thanks to the week-long holidays across Kerala. And this year Bakri Eid will also be celebrated at the same time, extending the holiday week. Cinema lovers in Kerala will be spoilt for choice this Onam (14 September) as six films are slated to hit the screens including those featuring two of India's biggest superstars, Mohanlal and Chiyan Vikram and two South Indian superstars, Prithviraj and Dileep.
Six films are slated to release on the Onam weekend. 8 September will see the release of Mohanlal-starrer Oppam, Chiyaan Vikram's Tamil film Iru Mugan and Prithviraj Sukumaran's Oozham while Kunchacko Boban-starrer Kochavva Paulo Ayyappa Coelho and Bollywood film Baar Baar Dekho are slated to release on 9 September. Not enough? Then the Dileep-starrer Welcome To Central Jail will hit the screens on 10 September.
Here is the Catch round-up of Onam releases clashing at the Kerala Box Office :
Mohanlal's Malayalam dubbed version of Telugu film Janatha Garage is still running to packed houses at the Kerala Box Office, but the superstar's first Malayalam release, Oppam is set to hit the screens on 8 September. The film, directed by Priyadarshan and written by Govind Vijayan, is bankrolled by Mohanlal's friend Antony Perumbavoor under the banner of Aashirvad Cinemas. The production house also backed the hugely-successful Drishyam. Oppam is the tale of a visually impaired man who is unwittingly entangled in a murder mystery. The film also marks the Malayalam cinema comeback of popular actress Vimala Raman after a gap of eight years. The actress was last seen in the 2008 film College Kumaran, which also starred Mohanlal. Oppam will see the Malayalam debut of model-turned-Bollywood actress Devshi Khanduri. The film also stars an ensemble star cast including Tamil actor Samuthirakani, Anusree, Nedumudi Venu, Renji Panicker, Chemban Vinod Jose, Aju Varghese and Sona Heiden. Director Priyadarshan will be looking for a hit with Oppam as his earlier two films - Geethaanjali and Aamayum Muyalum - were disasters at the Box Office.
Iru Mugan
The second big release of Onam is Chiyaan Vikram's Tamil film Iru Mugan. Chiyaan Vikram will be seen essaying dual roles, as Akhilan, a RAW agent and a transgender villain, Love. The Anand Shankar directorial stars Nayanthara and Nithya Menen as female leads. Iru Mugan is super hot in Kerala as it was evident when the actor kicked off the promotions of the film in Kerala last week. The actor's previous release, I, still holds the record of the top non-Malayalam grosser in Kerala with a record collection of Rs 19.75 crore.
The third release of 8 September is the Prithviraj-starrer Oozham - It's Just a Matter of Time is out. Written and directed by Jeethu Joseph of blockbuster Drishyam fame, Oozham is a joint production of C George and Anto Padinjarekkara. It also marks the return of super hit actor-director duo, Prithviraj and Jeethu after Memories. Touted an intense revenge drama, the film stars Divya Pillai as the female lead. The film also stars Balachandra Menon, Seetha, Neeraj Madhav, Dinesh Prabhakar, Tamil actor Pashupathy, Irshad, and Sreejith Ravi in supporting roles. Rasna Pavithran of Mounam fame plays Prithviraj's sister in the film. With Oozham, director Jeethu Joseph will be looking for his fifth success in a row after My Boss, Memories, Drishyam, and The Life Of Josutty.
Kochavva Paulo Ayyappa Coelho
Kunchacko Boban-starrer Kochavva Paulo Ayyappa Coelho is slated to release on 9 September. Written and directed by actor-turned-national-award-winning-director Sidhartha Siva, the film marks the return of Udaya Pictures, the first ever film production company of India after 30 years. The film stars Anusree as female lead. Recently, Kochavva Paulo Ayyappa Coelho got international recognition when the Brazilian novelist Paulo Coelho shared the first look poster of the film on hist Twitter page. The film also stars an ensemble cast including Mukesh, Aju Varghese, Nedumudi Venu and KPAC Lalitha. Kochavva Paulo Ayyappa Coelho will be an acid test for Kunchacko Boban, who has had all-time bad luck at the Box Office with 10 flops in his last 12 releases.
Baar Baar Dekho
Apart from Vikram's Iru Mugan, another non-Malayalam film which is trying to battle it out at the Kerala Box Office is Bollywood film Baar Baar Dekho, produced by Karan Johar. The film stars Sidharth Malhotra and Katrina Kaif as main leads. The trailer and songs of the film are already a hit among the youth, which may help the film to shine well at multiplexes in Kerala, especially at Cochin multiplexes. The Nitya Mehra directorial will hit the screens on 9 September, 2016.
Welcome To Central Jail
The last film to hit the screen on Onam is Dileep-starrer Welcome To Central Jail. The film marks the return of Dileep with hit director Sundar Das after a gap of 14 years. Welcome To Central Jail is the current favorite with the audience to win the Onam battle, thanks to Malayalam Janapriyanayakan's back-to-back blockbusters, Two Countries and King Liar. Popular Malayalam film comedians Aju Varghese and Girirajakozhi of Premam fame, Sharafudheen are playing Dileep's friends in the film. The film also stars Renji Panicker, Mohan Jaose, Suraj Venjaaramoodu and Vedhika as main female lead. Welcome To Central Jail is slated to hit the screens on 10 September, 2016.
Apart from all the above Onam releases, the Malayalam dubbed version of Janatha Garage is also expected to do good business during the Onam holidays. The film, which had released on 1 September, stars Malayalam superstar Mohanlal and Malayalam youth icon Unni Mukundan along with Telugu superstar Jr NTR. The presence of Laalettan and Muscle Aliyan has helped the film gain a larger audience to watch the action-entertainer flick, directed by Koratala Siva. Janatha Garage has so far collected a whopping Rs 3.50 crore from six days of theatrical release.

After taking a bit of a break from singing Usher is back with a new single called 'Good Kisser'.
Interview: Pop Wansel On Writing And Producing Usher's 'Good Kisser' Single
Keeping him busy lately is his gig on 'The Voice' where he has signed on as a 'coach' has finally released his latest video.
Usher Says There Are Levels to Being a 'Good Kisser'
Fans of the crooner are in for a good time as he showcases his signature moves and smooth vocals backed by a retro beat. The slow burner is the first song to be taken from the R&B veteran upcoming album set to feature the production of Pharrell and Jermaine Dupri.
Usher has also announced that Chris Brown will also feature on his yet to be titled album when he made an appearance at 'Revolt TV' recently.
"The song that we did together, I think it answers a lot of questions," said Usher.

State of the Union (call for help)
The first part came when my fantastic parents and grandmother gifted me a ride on lawnmower for birthday/Xmas. It let's me keep the house and surrounds neat when I'm busy. Last year we were away in February and the lawn got away from me. I can put in the big weekends knocking it back with brushcutter and push mower, but the big ride on allows me to keep it under control. Think of it like an old fasioned war or a zombie movie. I've establised my defensive zone but the grass is always trying to breach my perimiter. Now I am secure enough to start sending out sorties armed with cricket bats and shotguns to drive back the undead, I mean lantana.
The way that I think I will do this is to split the place up into smaller zones, fence them off and let the animals clear them out a bit. I can then get to bits of lantana, plant some trees and plan for each bit while the animals clear the next patch. Another key to this will be a winding path on an easy gradient down to the dam that I can quickly mow. This will be the core access to the rest of the property, I can keep it clear and work off it.
This probably means I will need some more animals, two cows and some milking goats. Maybe a few geese for a particular feast i have in mind. Goats, if you can keep the little bastards fenced, are great value. Should be tasty too. It all goes back to making my grass give me a valuable product, rather than just growing, get slashed, grow get slashed.
The other big consideration is whether to build a new house or add to this one for a future family. Eventually I want to run a cooking school that embraces paddock/garden to plate and the current house we are in would be a great little venue for such an enterprise, with a bit of work. A new house might allow us to put in things like a decent kitchen, a walking in insulated pantry and a secret library with a revolving bookcase door from which I CAN RULE THE WORLD, MWHAHAHAH.
Anyway the point is I would like to have a working bee day sometime in the middle of winter where I have a go at the first major project that will set Lantanaland on the path to perhaps one day being the cooking school that I want it to be. I'm not just asking for free graft either, for anyone who comes and helps, even if it's just for half an hour, I'll be offering food, food that you just won't get at a woolies or IGA. The centrepiece will be spitroasted chickens and duck, for sure and maybe some guinea fowl and geese. But these will be MY birds, raised here on my scraps and grain and grass. There will be pancakes made with my eggs and maybe milk and cream and butter. There will be homemade sausages for lunch, there will be smoked salmon and bacon from my cold smoker, veges and fruit from the garden.
What I'd like from you guys and girls who read this blogs is ideas, or send it to people who have ideas. I want as many suggestions for how I could do things or the way that you have done things or seen things done. I'd love for people to come help me too, but I'll put that call out when we get closer to the time, which is when those tasty, tasty chickens are ready to go into the oven.

I would love to come and help but unfortunately I am rather far away! I hope to learn a lot from a distance though and I would love to see some photos before and after as it were. I would suggest building new to suit, trying to retrofit old structure is a major headache (ask me what I am doing right now)Good Luck!ReplyDelete
Wish I could help with ideas, but I'm about as not rural as it gets. In my world chooks come from the fridge at the Butcher's. (At least until he bloody retired and I have to go to COLES for my meat grrr).ReplyDelete
I do tend to agree with the idea that you build a new home though, particularly if you have a fabulous use for the existing structure down the track.
As far as a day helping out at a working bee, I'm probably as useless as tits on a bull there, but count me in anyway. I am not averse to singing for my supper... as long as it doesn't involve ACTUAL singing. Wouldn't do that to my worst enemy.
Where are you agian Beeso? Down south isn't it?ReplyDelete
Got a bunch of stuff on (got to go the adeliade next week etc) but would love to drive down and have a look at the ranch. Have you read Bill Mollison's Permacultre Book? It's regulation reading for doing something like this.
Rule No 1 - get the cows in THEN figure the path - they will find the gradient of least effort up from the dam.
Oh, and do not burn that lantana - it makes great compost if you have something that you can chop it up with - a chaff cutter or mulcher. Cut it, let it dry out and drag it to a gully somewhere to let it rot down. Don't go wasting good gear like that. It is worm food.ReplyDelete
Don't remove the lantana until you've got something to replace it with, or all your hard work will be for naught. Glyphosate is quite an effective tool for removal, and quite safe it used selectively and in moderation.ReplyDelete
Getting animals, or more broadly, nature to do your weed control is the only way to go. Don't fight nature, as they say. Shade, vigorous plants (bamboo, herbs...), heavy mulch, chickens etc will keep weeds under control with much less effort, energy and cost than a tractor or brushcutter.
Good luck, and keep us posted.
Hughesy - i'm just off the highway at Yatala, basically where the Wolfdene dam would've been. I've done a permaculture design course and i've read a bit of mollison, but found his style very dense. You are welcome any time, just give me a few days warning some i make sure i have a good supply of smoked salmon and home cured bacon.ReplyDelete
Phil - Yeah a few people have suggested just bullzoing the whole block and i usually ask them if that is an offer to plant trees on the whole ten acres. Once the animals have gone through an area i'll be planting a mix of native grasses, herbs, pigeon pea and other fodder in between the fruit trees. I have an idea for some chicken houses in the paddocks as well.
Bluetiggy - there will be lots of photos, The Wife is a photo freak and i am hoping to have a new camera before any major works begin to make sure i document the whole process.
Mayhem - Any help's welcome!
I'm in. Bring on the feast.ReplyDelete
Interesting. The idea of paddock-to-plate cooking is very sweet, and timely.ReplyDelete
I'm going to have to think about this. You're taking it much more seriously than I am. I'm just basically putting things in the ground, seeing what happens, and going with the easy stuff...
Great idea. I'll rally my family and come help. I'm sorry we missed you at the Grasshopper dinner. I'd told my muso husband "it won't be all food talk, there's a guy coming who used to manage a music venue". The only music talk he got was with Gastronomygal who's partner plays guitar.ReplyDelete
I'm volunteering to help in the kitchen on the day, I'm not physically up to hard labour.
Follow that basic permaculture pattern - keep stuff you need to do every day close to the house, stuff that needs less attention further out, you can't lose.ReplyDelete
I'm from wog stock. We'd have concreted over the bastard by now.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 25, 2010 at 7:42 AM
I don't have an excess of ideas or muscle, but I'm happy to help where I can...ReplyDelete

Sorrysorrysorry. Yes, I know I promised to ignore that VR thing, whatever it's gonna be. But I just got word via Daniel Voyager's blog that … ugh, read it yourself:
When I try to click on the original message I only get this:
But my personal tech probs aren't point of the discussion here. What got my attention was the statement by Oz Linden that SL won't go away, not even a little bit. That's nice and assuring to hear. Also in regards of future financial investments into SL. Because when and if I decide to buy a piece of land again, I wanna be sure that LL won't shut the lights off and closes the grid. That'd be a bummer, won't it? 😮
I mean, LL has never been a stable and reliable business partner or grid host but I'd hate them outright soooo much should they decide to shut us down. 😦

The road to Mt Everest from Dingri (the nearest town) is 105km. Apart from the first ten. The road is an unrelenting series of hairpins carved out of the scree. On the plus side, there is no sand. Instead there are jagged rocks and corrugations.
Corrugated roads are an interesting phenomenon. Caused by heavy trucks, the vibration frequency of their suspension turns the road into a regular series of ridges, rather like a piece of over sized corrugated iron. They are terrible to ride on. The regular vibration shakes everything loose, bits of the bike as well as bits of you.
The rough conditions played havoc with suspensions. The rear shocks on three of the eleven bikes that made the trip failed with oil leaking out and clouds of smoke. Snowy also suffered with one of the front suspension cools breaking under the punishment.
It was a tough day. Breakages, one minor spill and a gruelling ride there with the certain knowledge that you had to ride back the same way. We are all exhausted.
So why did we go? To see Mount Everest of course. The weather was not kind and covered the summit for much of the dsy,. when it broke the iconic peak rose above our heads and made the whole journey worth while.
