I've said it before: "Opinion Shortage" is one headline you'll never come across. This is because we all have them. In this post, I wrote about what to do with other people's opinions when it comes to who we are and our endeavours. I haven't written about sharing opinions on social media, as a standalone topic or post. After witnessing many bungles recently, I think it is (perhaps) always worth talking about sharing opinions on social media.

What Some Mistake For Influence, Don't Drink That Cool Aid
So, I got tweeted — an offer to buy followers!
Some people do this. It's lame! The thing about buying "followers" — not even legit people or accounts — is that it's not true influence.

Overrating The Hashtag
In our social media age, it's easy to forget that a movement does not rise and fall on the basis of a hashtag alone – @saiidat (in Nigeria Won't Bring Back The Missing Girls)
I couldn't agree more. The hashtag is overrated. The success of your / a hashtag doesn't necessarily mean success of your 'campaign' (however you define that). One of the dangers of any marketing or publicity strategy is making the hashtag the goal of campaigns.
Failure is also imminent when you mistake your hashtag as the end and not the means. Hashtags must only be part of the campaign. A hashtag, for the sake of it, (I'm not talking about fun stuff, I'm talking about things that matter) is a week strategy. If a campaign is completely anchored on a hashtag, it will fall apart at its failure.
Always carefully consider what the object of your campaign is. Never give credit to a hashtag than is warranted. There are many case studies of failed hashtags. You know, when hashtags that were supposed to be a great campaign for causes or organisations, became against in most damaging ways.
As with many things, there is always possibility for failure for your hashtag. When you hashtag campaign fails it doesn't mean your cause is insignificant or unimportant. It just means your hashtag campaign has failed.
Great causes can be undermined because the small thing called the hashtag has failed. Don't let important things get undermined.
The other side of the coin is that your hashtag succeeds. Keep in mind that the success of your hashtag doesn't necessarily mean success of your campaign. Don't be naive. You can have a successful hashtag and a failed campaign. (Of course, just as you can have a successful campaign with a failed hashtag).
Your hashtag has succeeded when it enhances or pushes you toward the desired outcomes of your overall campaign.
Don't lose focus on what the hashtag means for you and your cause… Don't place all your bets on the hashtag horse. Find other ways to add value to your campaigns. Recognise and clearly articulate how a hashtag fits into your campaign and its significance.
Win or lose, the hashtag must not be king, but your objectives…

@BlackBerryZA's #Fail and @Twitter's Next Frontier
Of all the promoted tweets I've seen in my feed I've never felt sorry for BlackBerry (or is it) one of South Africa's campaigns.
#BlackBerry #Z10 #Q10 or #Q5? Which one do you have your eye on? http://t.co/hXokQ4zlis
— BlackBerry SA (@BlackBerry_ZA) September 13, 2013
For the most part there isn't a problem with that promoted tweet right? Well, the problem was that I just couldn't help it but had to hit back.
None. Just iPhone // @BlackBerry_ZA: #BlackBerry #Z10 #Q10 or #Q5? Which one do you have your eye on?
— Blessing Mpofu (@blessingmpofu) September 17, 2013
I think Twitter and Blackberry made mistakes, and there are lessons for either as well as us all.
I saw and responded to the promoted tweet on September 17. Ironically a week before I tweeted about liking the new iPhone and how happy I was with the iPhone iOS7. Clearly this could have suggested to Twitter that I was fanatic about iPhone.
#5S looking sweet. liking the "64bitness" of it too…
— Blessing Mpofu (@blessingmpofu) September 10, 2013
Happy with the #iOS7 on iPhone 5 for now…
— Blessing Mpofu (@blessingmpofu) September 10, 2013
Thus, the next frontier for Twitter is determining which promoted tweets will be best for each person. That is, customise promoted tweets per individual. Sounding like Facebook? Maybe, but the greatest value for advertisers would be getting people who are likely to engage in the way they'd like them to.
I hated promoted tweets when the started but if they can add great value to me I don't think I'd mind them much, as long as they aren't spam. I would be more than happy be put in contact with things that matter to me.
Don't get me wrong I'm not slamming BlackBerry, in the sense of hating on them. @BlackBerry_ZA is just not my preferred device. As my response suggests my an Apple fanatic.
So, if I were BlackBerry what would I have done? Perhaps a further disclaimer is appropriate here: it is a difficult thing to completely anticipate the outcome of every campaign. There are more than enough case studies of campaigns organizations thought were great but turned to nightmares.
Back to this campaign. The first thing I would've done is not bundle all the products in one promoted tweet. It could've been an attempt to manage the campaign costs. I would've chosen one product and highlighted a feature, with the intent of making the device desirable. After all, that is the point of campaigns; to raise awareness and ultimately buy-in.
The promoted tweet works off the assumption that I am a BlackBerry fan and have checked out the devices and I can't wait to get one of them in my hands.
Before launching any campaign it is important to revisit it and ask, "what assumptions have we made?". You may not do that with every tweet but if you are going to spend money. Although you can never completely anticipate outcomes it may be worth your while.
Your take?
Twitter Goes Public? Eish…
We've confidentially submitted an S-1 to the SEC for a planned IPO. This Tweet does not constitute an offer of any securities for sale.
— Twitter (@twitter) September 12, 2013
I hope this doesn't spell trouble. Trouble for me and well other millions on the platform. The reason I'm freaking out or I think many people will freak out is because of what going public has done to Facebook in terms of the users' experience and treatment, for example.
I feel Facebook (and Instagram) now serve the shareholders first. Because hundreds of millions (I know it's over a billion but it's my blog) of people are somewhat dependant on the platform they now do as they wish.
I used to get upset about Facebook and Instagram's changes but it doesn't bother me much now. I've decided to more on my blog than other social media networks. This makes apps like Pressgram more viable and desirable.
It is Facebook's house and they can call the rules. Why should I be upset about that. Either I use their platform or I don't. OR, I just wise up about how I use it.
If Twitter goes the "disregard-your-users-for-the-sake-of-shareholders" route could it create space for another platform, like Pressgram, with a philosophy to serve community.
I like Twitter. Way more than Facebook and I would hate to see it go the route of serving shareholders with a disregard or disdain of the people on the platform.
Perhaps Twitter has learned from Facebook's mistakes and will not repeat them. The story of MySpace and other social media platforms tells us that the mighty do fall and sometimes that they can't get up. At least nowhere close to where they were.
What would it mean for the users. For starters, it might mean a better platform with a capital injection from going public. On the other hand, it might just mean users become pawns for profit.
Could this mean more aggressive advertising strategies? Perhaps Twitter has found other models of revenue besides advertising. Well they do have other means… but I can't help but wonder, which strategies will impact users based on their experience and interaction on Twitter.
Clearly this is not an overnight decision. There is no way such a decision is made lightly.
Perhaps Twitter feels they need greater arsenal to compete with Facebook. It would be no surprise to me that Twitter is looking to have greater resources to take on Facebook.
No doubt this aggressive move to go public has a lot to do with growing Twitter…
I'm not Wall street analyst and I can only speak into the sentiments of users, being one of them…
These are mine… What are your musings?

I just wanted to take a moment and express my deepest sympathy and prayers to the tragedy that sadly happened yesterday at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut.
My heart aches for those parent who have lost a sweet child. As I watched on the television and saw the madness that I just couldn't be comprehend all I could find myself do was cry. Feeling so helpless all I could do was pray.
Having a Kindergartner and 4th grader myself I could not help myself and think of what those parents are going through.
To see my children get off the bus and then for them to have to see that I had been crying and try to explain that something so sad had happened and see my little 5 year old kneel down and say Mama can we pray please for those mamas and dads who lost their babies.
How is it that this world come to a state that this evil can exist just makes me so overwhelmed. I pray for all the families as they go through the most darkest times of their lives.
I pray they hold on to their faith and love that I have seen in their community. As I sadly walk in the shoes of losing a child and feel their pain so deeply I pray that our Lord's love surrounds them and they feel that comfort.
Holding my children a little tighter and making sure they know how much they are loved and continued prayers for those dealing with this horrific tragedy.
Moment of Prayer

Connecticut took a unique approach to this legislation: they went bipartisan when they didn't have to. Connecticut has a Democratic Governor, Dannel Malloy, and Democratic majorities in both houses. Democrats could have advanced this legislation without any input from Republicans, but they chose to work with Republicans to show that gun laws can, incredibly, transcend politics.
"What really breaks the mold, if not breaks the gridlock is the idea that we as Democrats worked with Republicans, and you saw today the republican Senate Leader and House Leader in the State Legislature, stand with us to support this bill. If we can do that in Connecticut, this ought to move across the country, and they ought to hear that loud and clear in Washington D.C.," said Donald Williams, Democratic President Pro-Tem in the Connecticut Legislature.
"There is nothing in this package that would have stopped someone like Adam Lanza," said Scott Wilson, president of the Connecticut Citizens Defense League, referring to the gunman who killed 26 children and adults December 14 in Newtown, Connecticut. "In his case, he stole the guns and went on a murderous rampage."
It's unlikely that gun legislation with any teeth will pass through the federal government, so states like Connecticut, New York and Colorado taking action are what is needed to advance gun sanity in this country. Unless you are anticipating a lawless zombie apocalypse, there is no reason for a law-abiding citizen to have a high-capacity automatic weapon.

So I'm almost 25 and I've had flings, dates, sex, etc but no traditional relationship. Not even someone I called gf that wasn't serious.
This year I've met up with 12 girls off dating sites, hooked up with a few that I've met at bars but haven't had anything serious. No, I'm not a player trying to get with as many women as I can, it just ended up that way due to the circumstance. What usually happens is I'll have 3-4 dates tops with a girl and then they flake and I usually don't hear from them again. The worst part is, I don't even know what I did wrong and it scares me.
I mean I don't start dating someone and worry if they'll flake but we'll start dating and hit it off and they'll say let's do this or meet up again and then eventually they flake and ignore my texts. It scares me because I feel like I have tons of issues and don't even realize it. It's like if i ask why I'm not hearing from them or what I did wrong, it'll come off as needy and desperate but if I don't, I'll continue to make the same mistake and not even realize it, whatever that mistake is.
Could I not be having as much luck because I'm meeting a lot of these women off dating sites and there's other guys they're talking to?
On a side note, I don't see how guys brag about the number of girls they get. This is coming from a guy who's only had hookups and flings. I'd much rather have a few stable, long last relationships then a bunch of dates and flings that go nowhere. Hookups and flings might be fun while they last, but they have no substance.
Most Helpful Girl
Do you think that maybe you could be coming on too strong? Usually if I lose interest in a guy in the early stages it is either because he has shown no real interest or effort (i. e. not trying to ask me out soon enough etc) or because he has been too eager in the early stages - i. e. showering me with compliments and texting all day (writing back immediately) in very early stages when, lets face it, we don't really know each other. I know the two sound like they contradict each other but you need to find the happy medium. Everyone says they don't like playing games but in the beginning it is important to maintain interest and not to look over eager. Mirroring particularly works well.00|00|0
Nope, I've made that mistake in the past and try not to do anything that resembles clingy or needy. But like you said it's about that middle ground. It's like you don't wanna seem like you're overly interested but at the same time, you don't wanna make it seem like you have no interest at all.
Just recently though, there was a girl I talked to off POF and I asked her out 5 days of talking and she said I'd love to, been waiting for you to ask. So we text for a few days and when she feels better after being sick, I try to set up a day for our date and she ignored me.
That being said, when is it too soon to make a move and when is it too late?

The chronicle of Johnny Foreigner's occasional visits to London continues. This time the venue was my student union, which is swanky as student unions go. The Guinness didn't taste half bad.
And there is seating, which I made use of during the set of the first (unknown, local?) support act. I refuse to be mean about them, for they look like upstanding gentlemen. I shall just stick to the facts: they played their instruments, and some organized noise came out. Meanwhile, I was reading Niall Fergerson's The Ascent of Money. A little incongruous to be thinking about the history of finance during a concert du rock, but there you go.
The second (touring) support group are called Talons, and they do violin-encrusted postrock. In a word: heavy. In two: heavy metal. A success mainly because the drummer was mesmerizing. The violins and guitars could just make droning noises and the band would be awesome.

The daily intake of refugees from Austria into Germany is 4,000-10,000, while the intake from Slovenia into Austria is 6,000-7,000 per day, according to information Hina obtained on Tuesday from the interior ministries of Bavaria and Austria, which thus denied media reports that Austria and Germany were limiting the flow of migrants.
The Bavarian Interior Ministry spokesman Stefan Frey told Hina that since the introduction of controls on the German border with Austria, between 7,000 and 10,000 refugees had entered Germany per day.
This statement denied reports by Austrian media that currently only 30 refugees per hour, which means 720 per day, are being accepted from Austria into Germany.
Austrian Interior Ministry spokesman Karl-Heinz Gruendbock told Hina on Tuesday that there were no halts in the flow of migrants from Austria into Germany.
These people are in transit. Refugees mainly leave for Germany in an organised fashion, and some go there on their own, he told Hina.
Gruendbock explained that Austria had not imposed any restrictions on quotas of refugees arriving in his country,
"There is no daily contingent," he said, adding that between 6,000 and 7,000 are entering Austria daily, mainly passing across its southern border.
A recent decision by Hungary to seal off its border with Croatia and Serbia rerouted migrants via Slovenia and triggered off speculations about a possibility of Austria and Germany restricting the refugee flow.
On the other hand, migrants and refugees keep coming from Serbia to Croatia, and on Tuesday Croatian police officers, including riot police, were deployed along the frontier between the Croatian border village of Bapska and Berkasovo in Serbia. Serbian police forces were also noticed near the border on Tuesday.
Refugees and migrants, exhausted by long journeys, are scattered in the area, many of them sitting or lying on blankets on the rain-drenched ground, waiting for permission to move on towards northern and western Europe.
Volunteers of Serbian NGOs and the Red Cross were there distributing food and clothes to refugees in transit.
Dusica Poletan of the Serbian Red Cross in the border town of Sid said on Tuesday afternoon that fewer refugees were arriving than on Monday.
She said that a thousand parcels with necessities for mothers, children and disabled people had been handed out to refugees within a few hours.
Serbian electronic media said that some 1,000 refugees from the Middle East were waiting at the Berkasovo-Bapska border crossing. Serbian Labour Minister Aleksandar Vulin said that the situation at the border crossing had somewhat improved compared to the previous days.
Serbia expects the migrant tide to continue from Macedonia and Bulgaria in the coming days.

Samantha is the undisputed queen of Telugu Cinema now. Other star heroines will have to sweat out big time to take the crown from Samantha.

Does Samantha need to stoop to this level being a decent actress and the current number one heroine of Telugu cinema? Can these cheap tricks gain her the desired position in Kollywood?

Bryan Hall and John Mondt have combined a family legacy handed down from their grandfathers with a 20-year friendship to open H&M Automotive, a car-repair shop in San Juan Capistrano.
Their granddads were General Motors dealership mechanics in Los Angeles in the days when American cars were king and if your father had a GM or Ford model, you bought one, too.
"I started working on go-karts when I was 10, and then just naturally got into cars," said Hall, 43, of San Juan Capistrano. "I started working on GM cars because of my grandfather, and GM makes a great product."
Mondt, 54, started working on cars as a gas-station attendant when fuel was 40 cents a gallon and you couldn't pump it yourself.
"I had a job … pumping gas and then moved up to changing oil and filters," said Mondt, a Laguna Hills resident. "Later on, I started working at dealerships. But it all started with my grandfather as a GM mechanic."
Hall and Mondt met 20 years ago as dealer mechanics at Allen Cadillac in Laguna Niguel and have been close friends since. They share values and goals in life.
"It's John's honesty and integrity that I really like," Hall said. "He has never lied to me, and you can see it in the way he lives his life. His family is a great example of what he is about."
Mondt said he admires Hall's honesty as well. "I see it every day when he deals with customers," Mondt said.
The two say they weren't planning to build a business together until about a year ago, after GM began to change the billing and warranty structure on which its mechanics made their living. Frustrated by making less money, the pair decided it was time to go on their own. Recently they were putting together a computer system to track invoicing and parts.
Only a few weeks into their new spot on Camino Capistrano, Hall and Mondt say their south Orange County roots have helped bring in steady work. They plan to have a grand-opening event soon.
Though they say they have the knowledge and ability to work on any make or model, they hope to specialize in GM vehicles and restoration of classic hot rods.
"I like GM because of my family heritage," Hall said. "It's a well-built car, and I think GM is the best now they have ever been."
But as he leaned against an old Ford utility truck owned by a longtime friend, Hall added: "We haven't really seen many GM cars lately. It's all been Fords we have been working on."
Q. What is the best thing about owning your business?
A. (Hall) It's the freedom to make your decisions.
(Mondt) It's not having to answer to anyone but yourself. It's all up to you for how well you do.
Q. What is the most challenging aspect?
A. (Hall) I don't know yet; we just started. But something tells me it'll be the paperwork.
Q. What advice do you have for anyone opening a business?
A. (Hall) Just do it and remember to do whatever it takes to keep cost low.
(Mondt) It's definitely scary to start something on your own, but then you just do it. Now it's exciting.

These 2xIDE mice express a transgene containing human insulin-degrading enzyme and levels of soluble alpha beta-amyloid X-40 and soluble alpha beta-amyloid X-42 are reduced.
Dennis J. Selkoe, Brigham & Womens Hsp, Harvard Med Schl
|Genetic Background
|Allele Type
|Transgenic (Humanized sequence, Inserted expressed sequence)
These transgenic mice express human insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) under the direction of the mouse calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II alpha (Camk2a) promoter. Transgene expression is approximately 2 fold relative to wildtype controls, as detected by quantitative Western blot analysis and protease activity assay. The levels of soluble alpha beta-amyloid X-40 and soluble alpha beta-amyloid X-42 are reduced in 2 to 3 month old transgenic mice. Mice that are hemizygous for the targeted mutation are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. When crossed to B6.Cg-Tg(PDGFB-APPSwInd)20Lms/2J (Stock No. 006293) mice, amyloid beta plaque burden in the resulting double transgenic mice is reduced by half. This mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of Alzheimer's Disease, specifically the enhancement of amyloid beta-protein degradation.
A transgenic construct containing the human insulin-degrading enzyme, IDE, gene under the control of the mouse calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II alpha (Camk2a) promoter, and SV40 polyadenylation site sequence was injected into fertilized C57BL/6 oocytes. The resulting founder animals were crossed to C57BL/6 mice, and are maintained on the C57BL/6 background.
|Expressed Gene
|IDE, insulin degrading enzyme, human
|Site of Expression
|Allele Name

|Allele Synonym(s)
|Gene Symbol and Name
|Tg(Camk2a-IDE)1Selk, transgene insertion 1, Dennis J Selkoe
|Gene Synonym(s)
|Camk2a, calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II alpha, mouse, laboratory
|Expressed Gene
|IDE, insulin degrading enzyme, human
|Strain of Origin
|General Note
|Hemizygous transgenic mice are viable, fertile, normal in size, and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. The levels of soluble alpha beta-amyloid X-40 and soluble alpha beta-amyloid X-42 are reduced in 2 to 3 month old transgenic mice.
In conjunction with Tg(PDGFB-APPSwInd)20Lms, transgenic mice develop only about half the amyloid beta plaque burden displayed by transgenic mice carrying Tg(PDGFB-APPSwInd)20Lms alone.
|Molecular Note
|Transgenic mice express human insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) under the direction of the mouse calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II alpha (Camk2a) promoter. Transgene expression is approximately 2 fold relative to wildtype controls as detected by quantitative Western blot analysis and protease activity assay.

Pullmantur Cruises is reportedly cutting ties with South American tour operator CVC, and is set to fully operate its own ships in Brazil for winter 2011/2012, according to sources in South America who spoke to Cruise Industry News.
Spanish-based Pullmantur has traditionally chartered most of its ships to CVC for a winter South American season since 2003.
An official announcement on Pullmantur running and marketing its own ships next winter is expected later this week, according to reports from Brazilian media.
Pullmantur, which is under the Royal Caribbean Cruises umbrella, has been chartering ships to CVC for the winter season since 2003.
Pullmantur executives told Cruise Industry News last year that the agreement had been adjusted for winter 2010/2011, giving both companies "more opportunity."
Along with its cruise ships, Pullmantur has significant airlift capacity to shuttle European passengers to South America, and can also source locally.
Last winter MSC pulled ahead of its rivals, becoming the biggest cruise line in Brazil with five ships in the region, according to ABREMAR. But, MSC will only send four ships to the region next winter, giving Pullmantur an opportunity to become the market leader in Brazil.

Boise, Idaho Hotel Welcomes New General Manager
Steve Stoddard Brings Well-Rounded Hotel Experience to Courtyard Boise West/Meridian
MERIDIAN, ID -- (Marketwired) -- If a hotel could create the perfect general manager, they'd not only want someone with hotel and management experience, but someone who knows how the entire operation is run. That's exactly what the Courtyard Boise West/Meridian found in Steve Stoddard, the new general manager at this Boise, Idaho hotel.
Stoddard began his hotel career as an accounting manager at the Residence Inn by Marriott Boise Central, where he continued on to become director of housekeeping. His next few positions took him away from the Marriott brand but brought him experience as a front office manager, operations manager, director of sales and even general manager.
"While I have experience with Hilton, IHG and some independents," Stoddard says, "it feels like home being back at a Marriott."
Stoddard's wide-ranging experience makes him a perfect fit as the new general manager at this hotel near Boise State University, which is managed by Twenty Four Seven Hotels, based out of Newport Beach, CA. While succeeding at work is important to Stoddard, he also lives by wise words of Dale Carnegie, who said, "People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing."
When's he's not managing the Courtyard, Stoddard spends time cycling, running and mountain biking. In the last year he did five foot races; three in Idaho, one in Colorado and one in Utah. He was also recently part of an eight-man team that did a 120-mile trail relay within 24 hours. While he's an avid racer, he says, "The most important thing I accomplish each week is the Sunday afternoon hike to the top of Camel's Back Park with my three-year-old daughter."

Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML David Cameron had the confidence of a man scenting victory at today's PMQs. The latest polls, showing the Tories ahead, meant he was in boisterous, remorseless form. Ed Miliband sought to pin him down on his failure to meet his promise to reduce net migration to "tens of thousands" a year (of which he once declared: "If we don't deliver our side of the bargain, kick us out in five years") and his refusal to commit to the TV debates. But Cameron simply blustered through it at all. Miliband's arguments were by far the stronger but at no point did the PM appear truly uncomfortable. On immigration, he declared: "There are two reasons for high migration, one is the growth of our economy and the other is that our benefits system allows people to access that benefits system straight away – I say let's keep the strong economy and change the benefits system, he wants to keep the benefits system and trash the economy!" As Miliband pressed him on his "no ifs, no buts" promise, Cameron simply listed all the pledges the Tories had met. It was shamelessly evasive but also a reminder of how much easier the better economic news has made these encounters for him. He was similarly shameless in the case of the TV debates. Challenged by Miliband to commit to them, he simply replied: "We're having a debate now" (the traditional riposte of every PM until Gordon Brown). Not even he seemed convinced by his later declaration that he wanted them to happen "before the election" (that is, before the start of the short campaign on 30 March). Never have the debates appeared more doomed. As Labour sources briefed after the exchanges: "Behind the scenes Cameron's team are doing everything they can to scupper the negotiations and sink the debates." As so often, Cameron couldn't resist a jibe at Ed Balls (a man with whom he is peculiarly obsessed) but this time at least he had a half-decent joke prepared. "He told us he was a long, slow burn," he said in reference to Balls's bedroom habits. "But I have to say the only thing lying in ashes is Labour's economic credibility." One final point worth noting from today's session was Cameron's refusal to rule out again raising tuition fees. Asked by Labour's Seema Malhotra to do so, he did not even offer a token "no plans" assurance. › In praise of meaningless work George Eaton is political editor of the New Statesman.

One of India's most prominent political activists has ended a 16-year hunger strike, licking honey from her hand and declaring: "I will never forget this moment."
Irom Chanu Sharmila had been fed through a tube in her nose and held by police since 2000, when she began her fast to protest against a draconian security law – the Armed Forces Special Powers Act – that gives immense power to security forces in the north-eastern state of Manipur.
On Tuesday a judge granted her bail after she assured him that she would end her fast. Hours later, she appeared at a news conference, the nose tube already removed, and tasted the honey.
She said she plans to run in the next Manipur state elections, in early 2017, to fight to have the security act struck down.
"I need power to remove this act," said Sharmila, 44. "I am the real embodiment of revolution."
Asked how she felt to finally eat, she said: "I will never forget this moment."
Sharmila started the hunger strike in November 2000 after the Malom massacre in a small village on the outskirts of Imphal, in which 10 people were reportedly killed by a government-controlled paramilitary force, the Assam Rifles. She was charged with attempting suicide, a crime in India.
It is thought that the decision to end her strike was influenced by a British-Indian boyfriend, Desmond Coutinho. Sharmila has been released from custody sporadically over the past decade and a half, but only a handful of people have been allowed to visit her in recent months.
The end of the hunger strike coincides with the 70th anniversary of the Quit India movement, a symbolic day of remembrance for India's struggle for freedom against British rule. Choosing to end the fast on the same day has been interpreted by some as a sign of her disillusionment with India's democratic process.
Sharmila announced last week that she planned to end the fast and run for political office.
On Tuesday, an official with Amnesty International India said the fast was "a testament to her passion for human rights".
The Armed Forces Special Powers Act is in effect in Indian-ruled Kashmir and in a number of north-eastern areas facing separatist insurgencies. The law gives security forces the right to shoot to kill suspected rebels without fear of possible prosecution and to arrest suspected militants without warrants. It also gives police wide-ranging powers of search and seizure.

St. Patrick's Day is a holiday where you can go casual or formal, but green is almost certainly required. Dressing up is part of the fun of the holiday. When you plan your outfit, take into consideration where you will be and what you will be comfortable wearing. What you wear is your chance to express your Irish pride or simply just participate in the festivities.
Leprechaun Costume
Appropriate for men or women, although in different variations, a leprechaun costume can be an option for those who prefer to dress up for the holiday. Leprechaun costumes come with either pants or a skirt. There will also usually be white stockings, a green top hat, a green jacket and buckled shoes. The main color of the costume is green; however, there may also be white, gold or black mixed in as well. As an extra accessory, consider carrying a small black pot filled with gold chocolate coins.
Green Dress With Shamrock Details
For the woman who wants to wear a green dress but feels it needs a little extra something special, consider using shamrock fabric to dress up the outfit. Use a piece of the fabric to wrap around your waist and tie it in a bow. Another option is to create a headband by folding the fabric into a rectangle shape, placing it on the top of your head then tying it in a bow underneath the hair.
Patterned Pants and Themed Shirt
St. Patrick's Day themed pants, such as those that have pots of gold or shamrocks on them can be a fun, festive way to dress for the holiday. The pants come in several types of material and are appropriate for both men and women. Pair the pants with a green Irish or St. Patrick's Day themed T-shirt to show the holiday spirit. Pair the outfit with green sneakers or shoes decorated with shamrocks.
Irish Dancer Dress
For a festive change from wearing a regular dress, consider wearing an Irish step dancer dress. The dress is short, has long sleeves and is quite elaborate. Wear white socks paired with hard or soft black shoes depending on your comfort level. A final touch is to curl your hair. You can purchase a costume from a costume shop, buy an actual Irish step dancer dress or make one yourself.
Jewelry and Accessories
Makeup and accessories complete an outfit, even if all you choose to wear is a white T-shirt and a pair of jeans. For your hair, consider green barrettes, hair gems, headbands or even using green hairspray to temporarily color your hair.
Accessories can include St. Patrick's Day pins and bracelets. Another inexpensive option to consider is green St. Patrick's Day themed beads to use as a necklace.

Professional Mannerism
I hadn't seen Dr. Han for several years and didn't need any additional tests. He reviewed previous data from a myriad of test and added new symptoms in order to prescribe a treatment. He is a No Small Talk kind of person, very focused during my visit, and did not fail to answer questions that I presented. I felt that my time with Dr. Han was well spent.

this is a clinic that seems to work on the quanity of patients seen and not quality of service. Dr.Han had records from primary Dr and additional info sheets that I was requested to fill in and yet after spending 5 minutes moving my legs aroud and doing some does it hurt here inquiries he is ready to start a rheumatology medicine. I questioned him about addit test,x-rays or MRI and he did not seem to feel they were necessary. He did call me on my cell phone after I had left and said there some addit blood test that may be beneficial and would I like to come back? I don't think so thank you very much!

Greer seals Swindon progress
Gordon Greer's late header saw Swindon through to the third round of the FA Cup with a 1-0 win over Wrexham.
Last Updated: 28/11/09 7:19pm
Gordon Greer's late header saw Swindon through to the third round of the FA Cup with a 1-0 win over 10-man Wrexham.
The Welsh side had the best of the chances until Christian Smith was given a straight red for a wild lunge on Jonathan Douglas.
And Smith was made to pay as Swindon captain Greer nodded in from a corner with 10 minutes remaining.
Wrexham made a bright start and Gareth Taylor was first to test the visitors when he met Marc Williams' cut-back to force a fifth minute save from Swindon keeper David Lucas.
The pair again combined when Taylor flicked a long throw on and Williams headed just over the bar.
And the non-league side almost took a deserved lead through Ashley Westwood who met Smith's 23rd-minute corner at point blank range, only to see Scott Cuthbert make an instinctive block on the line.
Smith drew another fine save out of Lucas after the break before he blotted his copybook by being sent off after 52 minutes. But Wrexham continued to fashion chances with Lucas twice pulling off brilliant saves to deny Wayne Barnes.
Yet it was Swindon who progressed when Jon-Paul McGovern's inswinging corner was met from close range by Greer.

Plot Summary
Each night it's the same for Joan. She dreams of being strapped to a pyre as a malicious succubus confronts her, and has sex with her as the flames consume them both. Joan does her best to struggle against these encounters, but finds her desire to continue them too great to deny.
One night, the succubus makes a mistake, though. It tells Joan its name. Armed with that information, Joan is ready to make her stand. Joan will summon Naamah into the real world, and force her to come before she does. In doing so, Joan will hold power over Naamah, and be able to banish her from ever appearing to another person again.
At least, that's the plan...
Book Review
The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on August 9, 2015
The series focuses each of the stories around one of the original succubi of myth and legend, so there is a work for Mahalath, Naamah, Agrat bat Mahlat and Lilith herself. In each work the stories are similar, in that each of the succubi does not act like the myths and legends suggest they do, what their focus is, and what they desire. But they are slightly different in that each of the succubi has their own personality, their own focus, and when they come into contact with the ones that summon them, call for them. are involved with them, or wishes for them, that is when the story turns into something really quite special.
Each of the works tends to follow a similar path in which the main character of the work is conflicted over someone, they dream of one of the succubi, and then find a means to have them appear. They are taught a lesson about love, faith, desire, or simply being, which is mixed with some wonderful heat before the story comes to a close, with the ending left open to what comes afterwards.
Mixed into the erotica is a bit of futa, but it isn't heavy handed or seems out of place as the stories continue onwards. There is a good deal of the powers of each of the succubi shown, how they are each different, and what each does to "reward" the ones they are with. It's that turning of the story, not being at all stereotypical in any way really, that makes the works captivating. There's a sense of wonder, of exploration, of discovering within each character, succubi and otherwise, that they hold within themselves something precious and vital to themselves and others.
There's a powerful sense of hope in each work. There is no sense of evil, no touch of horror, of needing to be crude or brash. There is a lovely heat, some romance, some moments unexpected, but in the end what comes out of each story is a sense of having one's soul settled. To be sure of what is wanted and needed in each case.
There is some conflict, make no mistake. There are some situations in which the main characters have to make a choice, and it is not an easy one to make. Being that it isn't that each character seems to know that they are making a choice that will matter, deeply, it raises the storytelling to a better place and makes this more. The series is about story more than the erotica and those are the stories I enjoy the most.
If there was one thing missing for me, it was that as much time was spent telling about the main characters, their thoughts and experiences, the same cannot be said about the succubi. There are some hints about them, the occasional comment or suggestion, but save for one short passage there isn't a lot told about themselves. I would have liked more of that, to see them outside of their encounters and learn how different they are to the myths about them.
Well written, telling characters, a series of stories which have purpose and more. A wonderful read and a series that I did enjoy fully…
I'll give this series as a whole four out of five pitchforks.
While each of the individual works is wonderful, tells of the author's writing ability, of making characters be true to themselves, their needs, wants and desires, as a collection there needs to be more connections between the works I feel.
I would like to know more about the succubi themselves than what is shown. We see them being a force for change, both physical and sexual as well as spiritual. What isn't shown is who they are beyond that which each encounter shows.
I would have liked to know more about all of the succubi in more intimate ways than simply how they seduce, teach, guide and give to others. That's a part of this story that didn't come out and still tugs at my thoughts about these works.
Perhaps there is more to tell than what has been. It would be nice to think so…

LAFAYETTE — The Louisiana-Lafayette baseball team is riding a six-game winning streak, and it's probably no small coincidence that junior shortstop Blake Trahan is riding an impressive six-game streak of his own.
In his past six games, Trahan has 13 hits in 22 at-bats, collecting multiple hits on four occasions. Nine of those 13 hits have gone for extra bases, accounting for his astronomical 1.091 slugging percentage over that stretch. He has scored 10 runs and driven in seven; was successful on both of his stolen base attempts; and has walked six times, three of them intentional passes.
He is exceeding his already-soaring All-America expectations — just don't count on the soft-spoken Trahan to go on about how great he has been.
"I felt good this weekend; was seeing the ball well," he said after bombarding the Troy pitching staff for five doubles and a homer in a three-game sweep. "That's what everybody says when they're going good, so that's what I'm going to say, I guess. The whole team played well."
Trahan wasn't just knocking the cover off the ball all weekend. A couple of his doubles came on hustle alone, when he busted out of the box and took advantage of some lackadaisical outfield play to turn at least two sure singles into extra-base hits.
That kind of all-out play is exactly what coach Tony Robichaux is looking for from all of his players, but it's an added benefit when his star is the one leading the charge.
"Your team is going to change from year to year because you lose players, but what you don't want to have change is your culture, and that's what our culture is," Robichaux said. "We want to play the Ragin' Cajun way, and that way is just how he plays. It's hustle. We want to run hard every day, and he's the epitome of that. I think that's why we've been so successful: One of the best players on our team is also one of our best people."
While his bat will always get the most attention at this level, Trahan also has picked up his play in the field lately, too.
He committed four errors in the season's first eight games, but he trimmed that to two in the past seven games.
Trahan committed just 10 errors in 277 chances a year ago, but Robichaux said he needed some time to mesh with his an otherwise brand new starting infield.
"The guys that played to the left and right of him (in 2014) are gone," Robichaux said.
They're gone from the lineup, too. Before the season, Robichaux said he had some concerns about Trahan trying to do too much at the plate to make up for the Cajuns' losses in experience and production.
But that hasn't been the case so far, in either Robichaux's or Trahan's estimation.
"We preached it before the season started, and I think he's done a great job of it," Robichaux said. "Just being that good ol' boy from Kinder — that's what got him here, and if he sticks with that plan, he'll be good.
"When somebody presses or thinks they have to carry a load or a burden, they can start to have pressure in their hands. Right now he's not doing that, he understands his role as a leadoff (hitter), he's doing the things that he needs to do."
Cajuns headed to Houston
The Cajuns are one of six teams slated to participate in next year's Houston College Classic, joining TCU, Texas Tech, Arkansas, Rice and Houston.
The games will be played Feb. 26-28 at Minute Maid Park, home of the Houston Astros.
"We've played in it a couple times," Robichaux said. "It's a great tournament, it's great for the RPI, it's great for us competition-wise. … And it puts our players in a pro ballpark, which some of these kids that never get drafted have never had the opportunity (to play in)."
Robichaux said he also expects a big crowd from the university's large alumni base in Houston.
"It gives them a great weekend to come in and watch quality baseball at a quality venue," Robichaux said. "We're very glad that we're going back."

Welcome paranormal romance author, Carmen Stefanescu.
Why do you write fiction?
I started by writing poems. Their theme is more on the philosophical side of life and nature. As a teacher, I always encouraged my pupils to write essays on various subjects, to express their feelings and emotions. So it came easily to start writing longer fiction. It's my way to explore the world – more mental than physical. You see, I try to write out all my interactions into characters, those same interactions I've been too hesitant to carry out in life.
Please tell us about your book. What ideas or images inspired this novel?
I accidentally read a small article in a Romanian newspaper, ( I live in Romania, better known by many as Dracula's country), about a haunted mountain in England. The souls of two sinners, a nun and a priest who break their vows and elope, can't find their rest. The tourists visiting that area sometimes hear agonizing moans during the night. That was all the article said, but enough to stir my imagination. The moment I put down the newspaper, I had an urge to write about the two unfortunate lovers, and The Ballad of the Priest and the Nun came to life. Later, I felt just a poem wasn't enough. I felt that I had to tell Genevieve's story in detail. It was as if the nun herself pleaded with me to tell the world about her fate. Shadows of the Past, a paranormal/historical romance, is the result of my decision. It's the story of Genevieve and Anne. Jumping from past to present and back, the story focuses on the lows and highs of the two, alternatively revealing the hardships, passion, truth or betrayal they meet. A touching story of loss, tragedy and the power of endless love and good magic.
Do you have an ideal reader in mind when you write? If so, please describe that reader.
In my opinion, there's no "ideal" reader. If you write for one specific audience, you're going to tune out others who might actually be interested in reading your book. Danielle Steele once said, "Write what you write. What happens next is up to the public." Many times I've been in bookstores and picked up a book whose content I'd not normally read because either the cover and blurb attracted me, or I saw the book advertised. Sometimes, I loved the story. Other times, I read the first two chapters, decided it wasn't my cup of tea, and put it away.
Please describe your writing routine.
During the summer holidays, I retreat to my "writing room" and lose myself in the imaginary realm of my characters and plots. I like to have everything handy: paper, pencils, markers, ballpoint pens. Also, sometimes, background music, either classical or pop. I always write longhand. My first drafts are longhand. After I finish the manuscript, I transfer everything to my PC. I find it easier to make notes on the back of the sheet of paper regarding characters, adding paragraphs or deleting sentences, rewording some parts.
What advice do you give new writers just starting out?
Follow your dream! Read, write. Read and write. Be civil, good-mannered even towards publishers who reject your manuscript. If they take the time to write you an explanation, be courteous and thank them. Swallow the bitter tears of rejection and go on querying. Never give up! In the end, your dream must come true. It's what happened to me!
More about Shadows of the Past:
Anne's relationship with her boyfriend, Neil, has disintegrated. After a two-year separation, they pack for a week-long vacation in hopes of reconciling. But fate has other plans for them.
The discovery of a bejeweled cross and ancient human bones opens a door to a new and frightening world – one where the ghost of a medieval nun named Genevieve will not let Anne rest. This new world threatens not only to ruin Anne and Neil's vacation but to end all hopes of reconciliation as Anne feels compelled to help free Genevieve's soul from its torment.
Can Anne save her relationship and help Genevieve find her eternal rest?
A touching, compelling story of tragedy, loss and the power of endless love and good magic.

Resident artist at the Denver Photo Art Gallery
For additional products such as DuraPlaq Gallery Float, please use the Contact button. Enjoy!
Colorado is in my blood. My grandmother and great grandmother were born on the Tallman homestead in Parker south of Denver. As a kid growing up in Kansas, my favorite part of the year was our summer visit to my grandparents' cabin in Estes Park. I fell in love early with Rocky Mountain National Park and always wanted to go "further in and higher up." When I was 9 or so, after a day of hiking on the trails in RMNP, I asked my parents, "When are we going to climb a real mountain?";
I started photographing RMNP with a Canon AE-1 in high school. I continued visiting Colorado as often as possible after college and was inspired greatly by the work of Erik Stensland (Images of RMNP) in Estes Park. Since moving to Colorado ("you can take the boy out of Colorado, but you can't take Colorado..."), I've only begun to explore the enormous variety and beauty of our colorful state. When I'm in the mountains of Colorado, more than anywhere else in the world, I find myself in joyful awe of the One who made the majestic peaks, the quiet waters, and the sublime colors of a Colorado sunset.
I am honored to be a resident artist at the Denver Photo Art Gallery (colocated with John Fielder's Colorado at 833 Santa Fe Dr). There you can see my work at its best in sizes up to 45 inches. I also exhibit at many art shows in Colorado, which you can find on the Events tab. For additional products such as DuraPlaq Gallery Float, please use the Contact button. Enjoy!
