For a person with on-line businesses or a physical, ranking at the top of search engines is crucial to achievement. Regarding realizing this SEO, or search Engine Optimization is a necessary evil, and organizations and several corporations have no idea how to bring this independently away. Where a Search Engine Optimization consultant is needed this can be. They can assist any size company to be less irrelevant.
To begin with, it is an excellent, intelligent choice to locate an SEO consultant to get this enterprise possible. You should find a local SEO company in your market that knows how to rank the website. For example, let's look at the Oklahoma marketplace. In Tulsa SEO, you have Hyperion SEO. They are extremely knowledgeable and have a proven history of ranking high-end clients. Provided that they understand what they are doing, and they are ready to assist away the master or to describe it, it is an extraordinary expense. The outcomes that occur from selecting an SEO consultant, and executing Search Engine Optimization are several is not a price that is tremendous. With any luck, it's going to repay considerably more in the long haul and be worthwhile than the first price.
What are the advantages?
Aside from having a high ranking site, the greater the rank goes will probably grow. Especially if the company is in the best five outcomes. Hyperion SEO is probably your best bet. Based in Tulsa, the SEO they perform is nationally recognized, and they are major players in the search engine industry. There are many research motors, and all have conditions that are distinct about how websites are shown and in what position or sequence. Consider the several that are best known including:
Search Engine Optimization advisers provide something similar to that just mainly on-line, of an advertising agency. The perform done is somewhat different in that as an alternative of producing advertising that is actual, they do they play in the background on the website of the business, building in lookup motor outcomes being ranked upwards as significantly as by it. Spending these individuals for the period and their skill is worth it!
Thus, for example, an expected consumer pursuit of "Norfolk Dry-Cleaners" or no matter what the service needed is, a business may readily surpass it is competitors for the current company if their website appears in the primary two or three outcomes of that investigation. So that there is a better chance of that occurring that's precisely what an SEO consultant does, they perform within the website and research motors. Just make sure you hire an agency that knows how to optimize like Tulsa SEO Experts.
No issue what the company at the forte of hands is, the bulk of clients may appear on the web for a resource. Particularly today that several bring mobile smartphones when buying a business which might be the closing in advantage.
For businesses which do not have an on-line website, they will aid construct one. These companies are passing up an enormous portion of the enterprise. Having a website created is a large measure that Search Engine Optimization consultants may aid direct on them if they don't build them they 'll know of someone would you? This is a first action that is definite.
So that you can achieve success, Search Engine Optimization advisors must understand every detail of what goods and providers are provided; this contains what the site is about. It aids them to figure out in what places the business proprietor might like to find enlargement or increase. They will do all the keyword research that is required to carry away Search Engine Optimization with simplicity utilizing methods that are true and tried. First, the website will be tackled by them, then work with additional facets to contain exterior advertising via strategically-placed posts and news releases among other issues.
As the leading service in North Park for net style, personalization, and advertising, Surprise Mind Models continues to be serving the region since 2005 having the most advanced and c-Reative solutions to businesses of most kinds and dimensions.

Welcome to a Brand New School Year!
Welcome to the 2016-2017 school year at WGS! We're very excited to be starting this year off on a great foot over at the PTO. Our first meeting on September 6th was well attended and we have a lot of fresh faces ready and willing to jump in to help the school and kids. It's an exciting time to be part of the PTO at WGS, and we're needing as many parents to join us to make this year as successful as we can. There are numerous volunteer opportunities available this year. Attached is a form for you to fill out about all of our current planned events. Please let us know if you'll be able to make it!
Signing up as interested doesn't lock you into helping on that date. We realize that things come up as the school year goes on, but we're hoping to get a good response ahead of time so we can continue to plan fun events for our children and families. Stay tuned for posts on this page this year, as well as updated events and sign up information. Thanks so much for being part of Team Gecko!
One blogger's honest review of the top ten reasons she loves being a part of her PTO:
- When you work full-time, it's hard to feel involved with, and connected, to your kid's school, especially since so many activities and events are during the day. I am so appreciative of our 6:30pm monthly meetings.
- Building relationships and getting face time with the principals never hurts.
- I've had the opportunity to meet some talented and dedicated parents.
- It's allowed me to form a larger and more meaningful connection with our community.
- I'm proud I can use my time, along with my professional skills, to help improve my son's educational experience.
- It allows me to have a voice in what is happening in our schools.
- It's a forum to discuss or share concerns.
- By being involved in his school and taking on voluntary work to help our community, I'd like to think I'm setting a good example about the importance of both education and citizenship.
- It can be hard work, but it is also incredibly rewarding … and a lot of fun!
- It's nice to be "in the know" on what's going on, not just in the classroom but in the larger school district as well.

Which of the following are straight angles?
Angle I is definitely straight angle as it is equals to 180°.
As for angle II, it is not a straight angle. This is because this angle is not equals to 180°.
Angle III is definitely not a straight angle.
Angle IV is a straight angle.
Clearly, only I and IV are straight angles. Hence, the answer is A.

DETROIT – Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan is heading into what's billed as his final major address Sunday, and some Muslims are wondering if the fiery orator — now slowed by poor health — will try to repair old divisions between his movement and mainstream Islam.
Farrakhan's scheduled appearance at Ford Field, home of the NFL's Detroit Lions, will be his first since ceding leadership last year to an executive board because of illness.
The 73-year-old Farrakhan was released last month from the hospital after undergoing a 12-hour abdominal operation to correct damage caused by treatment for prostate cancer. A statement from the Nation at the time said Farrakhan "doesn't see himself coming before the public on such a major stage as we are preparing in Detroit." He might, however, honor lesser engagements.
The event will be a homecoming of sorts for the Nation of Islam movement, which promotes black empowerment and nationalism. It was founded in Detroit by Wallace D. Fard in 1930.
Fard attracted black Detroiters on the margins of society with a message of self-improvement and separation from whites, who he said were inherently evil because of their enslavement of blacks.
Farrakhan rebuilt the movement in the late 1970s after W.D. Mohammed, the son of longtime nation leader Elijah Muhammad, moved his followers toward mainstream Islam.
Farrakhan angered many Americans in the process.
He became notorious for his provocative comments, calling Judaism a "gutter religion" and suggesting crack cocaine might have been a CIA plot to enslave blacks. He met with foreign leaders at odds with the United States — Moammar Gadhafi, Fidel Castro and Saddam Hussein — prompting the State Department in 1996 to accuse him of "cavorting with dictators."
His closest brush with the political mainstream probably came in 1995, when he attracted hundreds of thousands of black men to Washington for the Million Man March.
Now, back in the Nation's birthplace, there's speculation about what Farrakhan's last major address could tackle. The topic of Sunday's speech, capping a series of meeting that start Friday, is "One Nation Under God."
"We have been told that Minister Farrakhan is going to be making a big announcement at this meeting," though it's not known what he will say, said Dawud Walid, executive director of the Michigan branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
The Nation and orthodox Islam diverge on several key beliefs. While mainstream Islam holds that Muhammad was God's last prophet, Nation of Islam had taught that God came in the form of Fard decades ago in Detroit.
Farrakhan has downplayed many of those teachings in recent years, adopting some mainstream Muslim traditions and embracing W. D. Mohammed on stage in 2000 after years of discord. Mohammed also visited Farrakhan recently during his recovery, a Nation of Islam official said.
Farrakhan has credited his mollified outlook to what he called a "near death" experience related to his prostate cancer, which he began battling in 1991. A sign of his softer approach came in 2005, at a Washington rally for the Millions More Movement. Unlike the Million Man March a decade earlier, which was for black men only, the rally was open to men and women of all races.
"In the course of his career, I have to say, the external gaze of others generally has not been at the top of the list of what he's worried about," said Melissa Harris-Lacewell, a professor of politics and African-American studies at Princeton University. But, "it's late in his life, he's ill. There are questions of legacy. All of that tends to soften a leader, encourages them to think beyond self-aggrandizing choices."
In Detroit, some blacks who practice mainstream Islam say a shared history and personal ties with the Nation have united the groups in worship and work. Mitchell Shamsud-Din, a founding member of the orthodox Muslim Center in Detroit who runs its community service programs, is like thousands of Detroit-area Muslims who came to orthodox Islam through the Nation.
"There's a friendship and brotherhood between our two groups," said Shamsud-Din, whose projects include Nation of Islam volunteers.
"We work with Christians, and they believe Jesus is God," he said. "Why wouldn't we work with a Muslim brother who has another difference?"
Nation leaders won't say how many members the movement, now based in Chicago, has locally or nationally — though the Council on American-Islamic Relations and others have estimated it has between 10,000 and 50,000 followers in the U.S. and no more than 1,000 in southeastern Michigan, according to Sally Howell, a University of Michigan researcher who specializes in the local Islamic and Arab-American communities.
Jimmy Jones, a religion professor at Manhattanville College, who is Muslim and studies Islam, was skeptical about Farrakhan's willingness to change. While the Nation of Islam has adopted some mainstream Muslim practices, it remains essentially a race-based movement, he said.
"I think this is an organization that consistently, in my observation, has tried to have it both ways — that is, gain legitimacy with the broader Muslim world and spread a message that is essentially about race," Jones said. "It is not a program that represents what most of the more than 1 billion Muslims in the world would recognize."

And now for the projects and photos that I especially loved this year.
These little notes were from a mini class taught by Kim Watson on the ClubCK website. I was really pleased with how they turned out and can't wait to make more for Project Life!
I adored this little Christmas organizer and was so excited to use it...until I misplaced it! I only found it a few days before Christmas so I'll have to use it next year. It won the Lily Bee Manufacturer's Challenge over at 2Peas, which was pretty exciting for me!
I made this little banner at the beginning of the year and I am still so happy with how it turned out. I like it more and more each day. :)
I think this was my favorite mini album of 2012. I loved the products I used, the photos and the feeling of accomplishment I got from finally scrapping that little trip.
And now for some favorite photos. These are just a few that I could find as I had an external hard drive crash and I lost a ton of edited photos. :(
This was one of the first photos I took during my photo class with Maggie Holmes. I was so happy with how it turned out because Audrey wasn't in the most cooperative of moods that day!
This photo of a friend's husband only exists because I posted my class pics on Facebook and she asked if I'd take pics of her and her husband. I was so flattered! I love this pic because he looks like he's having such a good time and men don't normally enjoy photo shoots!
I love this photo of Mickey holding the second tooth he's ever lost. He was so proud!
Another of Mickey, this one from my class as well. He was such a good sport about posing for photos for me. Love my little man!
And, a photo from our little trip to the beach. Aud loved her first time at the coast and I loved the time spent with a wonderful friend. (Need that again, soon!!!)
So, there you have it! Some favorites from 2012. I'm looking forward to making new favorites this year!

A series of large-scale embroideries, The Dickinson Composites depict the poet Emily Dickinson's variant marks in her manuscripts.
Between approximately 1858 and 1864, Dickinson grouped her handwritten poems composed on stationery folios into forty packets—later called fascicles—stab-bound with red and white twist thread. In the fascicles, Dickinson's first experiments with the variants—the + signs that direct readers to other possible words or phrases in her poetry manuscripts—surface and grow into a complex system she uses throughout her life. These works are based on layered composites Bervin made of Dickinson's marks on the recto and verso in six fascicles, respectively: 16, 19, 28, 34, 38, and 40.
Despite their obvious presence in the manuscripts, the variant marks and words, so integral to Dickinson's poetics, are omitted in reading editions, which also override her line breaks. Bervin's works are aligned with mending, restitution, and the deeper gesture that Dickinson's poems and variant marks make.

Finally got braces on yesterday after 16 years of umming and aahing!
Hi there! Yesterday I got braces after 16 years of contemplating! If only I could go back in time to my high school self and convince her to do it back then... oh well, better late than never!
So far I haven't experienced too much pain. My main gripe is eating! Wow! I didn't realise just how tricky it would be....and how much cleaning and maintenance would be required. The gritty feeling of food stuck in every brace...eeew! But...it's for a wonderful cause, so it'll all be worth it in the end.
Anyhow, I'd love to share this journey with fellow braced-people - the good parts and the gripes - so if anyone wants a Braces Buddy, I'm keen :)
P.S. I really want to bite into a crunchy biscuit. But, I won't!
Hi, good on you for finally getting your brace :) I also wish I did it earlier, I kept putting it off and off, until I just had to do it lol.
I haven't found eating too much of a problem to be honest, I just break the 'finger' foods up with my fingers and chew with my back teeth only - it avoids getting any food stuck in the brace and any other food I just cut up small before eating.
It will all be worth it in the end, good luck with your progress.

Just FYI, should you need the JP-80 OS v1 sounds, they can be freely downloaded from www.jp-80.com/download.html.
It is called Repository of Sound and also has links for V-Synth sounds.
My aim is to get 'handy' soundsets for Roland keyboards so that these great sounds can still be available. Should demand exist, I would be happy to extend the menu items to include (say) sounds for the Integra and Fantom for example.
If you have any suggestions about the above I'd be pleased to hear them!

Why are you proud to be black?
All the hard times and heartaches that African-Americans have been through makes me proud to be black. It makes me see myself as a young African-American striving to do well for my community, and pushing for strong goals in life. I realize we can be the most outstanding minority if we stay strong.
Why is it important to recognize Black History?
To keep the dream alive and realize the true facts about where black people have come from. You have to know all the history they have been through.
Who are your role models?
Martin Luther King, Jr. because he makes me not only see myself as black, but as an African-American who is proud of her background and willing to do almost anything to keep improving and making a difference.

Enrollment FAQ
Who is eligible to attend?
Envision Academy is open to students coming from any Bay Area city. There are no residency requirements to attend. Students will be considered for admission without regard to ethnicity, national origin, gender, disability, or achievement level or any other characteristic described in Education Code Section 220.
What documents do I need to submit when I apply?
Applicants to the 7th and 9th grade need to submit the Envision Academy application (3 pages, online or paper). Applicants to 10th, 11th or 12th grade must also submit their high school transcripts, attendance records and discipline records.
Can I apply as part of the HUSD application process?
No. Envision Academy's enrollment process is completely separate from HUSD.
How does Envision Academy select its students?
7th and 9th graders are selected by lottery. 10th and 11th graders are accepted if space becomes available in the grade. For all transfer students, an administrator meets with applicants and families to discuss their path to graduation at Envision Academy, but this conversation does not affect admission.
If I apply, am I guaranteed a spot?
No. Envision Academy is a small school with a limited number of spaces in each grade level. When you apply for 7th and 9th grade you are entered into a lottery from which the 7th and 9th grade class will be chosen. If you are applying for 10th or 11th grade, the number of available spaces will depend on how many of our current students plan to return for the following year.
If I am offered a spot, how long will I have to decide?
Students must confirm their intent to attend within a month after they are first offered a spot. A "Confirmation Form" will be included with the Offer Letter; this form can be returned by mail, email or in person. Students who apply after the application deadline and are offered a spot may have a shorter window of time in which to decide.
What happens if I miss the 7th and 9th grade application deadline?
If you miss the deadline your applications will be added to the Wait List. Wait List applicants are then admitted as spaces become available.
Is there an entrance examination?
There is no entrance exam. After being accepted, all incoming 7th and 9th grade students are tested. All 9th grade students are scheduled to take Academic Numeracy and Algebra I in their freshman year; students wishing to pursue alternate placement must come to Envision Academy and pass the Math Placement Test.
Are there any preferences given to students in the lottery process?
Yes. If we receive more applicants than open seats, we will run a lottery with a preference for low-income families (defined as families zoned for elementary schools with over 70% free and reduced lunch students). Siblings and children of teachers and staff are exempted from the lottery.
What documents do I need to provide when I enroll?
Once you have been offered and have accepted a spot, you will need to provide a copy of the student's birth certificate and most recent vaccination records (including the TDAP whooping cough vaccination), along with the complete Envision Academy enrollment packet. The enrollment packet will be provided at the 9th Grade Welcome Event (usually held in April) and is also available in the main office.
Does Envision Academy admit students during the school year?
Envision Academy will accept mid-year transfers if there is space available.
Does Envision Academy have a separate enrollment process for students with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs)?
There is no separate application process for students with IEPs. However, we request that any student with an IEP submit a copy of their most recent IEP once they have been accepted to the school.
If Envision Academy admits students using a lottery, why is an application required?
There are several reasons Envision Academy requires an application. As a school of choice, Envision Academy wants to ensure that students use the application process as a way to decide if Envision Academy is right for you. Also, the information listed on the application helps us to get to know students, their particular needs and pertinent personal and family information.
Do I have to be "good" at arts and technology to attend?
No, absolutely not! Our teachers use art and technology as tools for expression and engagement in the classroom. A student might use art to demonstrate understanding of principles or geometry, or create a video on iMovie to show what they have learned in Social Studies. Most students who attend Envision Academy do not have special talents in arts or technology, but enjoy using them as tools for showing what they know.

Charlie Rose, acclaimed interviewer and broadcast journalist engages America's best thinkers, writers, politicians, athletes, entertainers, business leaders, scientists and other newsmakers in one-on-one interviews and roundtable discussions.
Bill Buckmaster didn't know at the time he got confirmation from the three Republican candidates running for US Senate that we would get this kind of exposure for a debate. We were one of two debates these candidates agreed to. Buckmaster continues to get interviews and will host debates up till Election Day. This interest in public affairs and the election is great for me as we dive into a new public affairs strategy on PBS HD CH. 6 and World (Ch. 27.3).
Starting in August, public affairs on PBS HD CH. 6 will begin weeknights at 4 PM. As reported in a previous Inside TV blog, we are moving away from children's shows in the afternoons and early evenings. Charlie Rose will be welcomed into the public affairs block as he moves from 1 PM to 5 PM.
Here's our new public affairs lineup on PBS HD CH. 6: 4:00 PM PBS Newshour (east coast version)
5:00 PM Charlie Rose
6:00 PM Nightly Business Report
6:30 PM Arizona Illustrated
7:00 PM PBS Newshour (west coast version)
On Fridays, we will continue to air Washington Week with Gwen Ifill at 8 PM. She just started tweeting, by the way! Follow her @pbsgwen. PBS Need to Know will continue to air at 8:30 PM.
On the World Channel, nightly public affairs will continue to be prominently featured in the schedule and I'm reviewing more shows to consider to air on weeknights.
Currently, the public affairs block on World has:
8 PM PBS Newshour (west coast version)
9 PM Arizona Illustrated
9:30 Journal
Starting in September the lineup will be:
8 PM PBS Newshour
9 PM Arizona Illustrated
9:30 PM BBC News
10 PM Charlie Rose
11 PM Journal
11:30 PM Nightly Business Report
I think these new public affairs scheduling on Ch. 6 and World will pair nicely. With so many hours and shows to choose from, you decide on when and what you want to watch. In-depth news and information will be available to you on KUAZ, online on azpm.org, PBS HD CH. 6 and World.
I'm thrilled to have Charlie on at 5 PM and the only thing that would make our block complete is having Bill Moyers back. But please, don't get me started on Bill. I miss him so!
Stay tuned!
P. S. As debates and interviews get scheduled on Arizona Illustrated, you will be able to find them at the AZPM Election 2010 Dashboard. Personally, as a newbie to Arizona, I'm excited that the online guys here created this feature. I review it quite a bit.
P.P.S. Are you or someone you know a diehard 1 PM Charlie Rose viewer? Don't fret! He is on at 1 PM on the World Channel!

The One That Didn't Get Away
Radio silence these last few days is due to a fishing trip off the coast of Key West with friends Max Angerholzer III, Kyle Downey, Sam Glass, and Jeffrey Lewis (you should know his blog, ArmsControlWonk.com). Even Big Max (Jr.) joined us for the fun.
In Key West, they call it a grand slam if your boat catches at least one dolphinfish, a wahoo, and a sailfish. The last one is the most difficult, but we caught our grand slam with the sailfish coming in at 7'10†and almost 50 pounds. All of us caught a dolphin fish except Sam; he reeled in our wahoo. Special thanks to Daniel Foster for lending us his home as our Key West base for those few days off.

There are several companies vying for tourist dollars in the nascent industry of space tourism. Today at the fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco, representatives from two of those companies talked to scientists about their plans to host not just thrill-seekers, but also science experiments.
One of the advantages the two presenters mentioned was the opportunity to load and retrieve payloads much more quickly than NASA or others can offer. This could be a big benefit to a variety of fields, especially biology, they indicated.
The first talk was by Will Pomeranz from Virgin Galactic. He gave an overview of the research opportunities their flights will provide. They plan to have two different options. The first is a sub-orbital flight lasting about two hours that offers about three or four minutes of weightlessness. The vehicle will be attached to another plane, which carries the space vessel to a certain height before releasing that vessel for its space journey. Virgin Galactic plans to be able to carry several passengers and payloads at a time. For the future, they're also planning to build a vehicle that will orbit the earth.
Pomeranz said that they're developing details that will be vital to scientists, including a very specific profile of the g-forces of the flight pattern and expanding the possibilities of what they can offer to scientists – orienting the craft, or developing a way to offer outside-the-craft experimental access.
Khaki Rodway from XCOR Aerospace spoke next. She discussed their rocket-based space effort. Their craft has room for a pilot and one more item – either a person or a payload. Their flight takes about a half hour, and reaches its highest point of about 62 miles above sea level about five minutes after takeoff. XCOR flights also glide back down to the surface, reaching a maximum g-force of 4 Gs.
Rodway explained that there are multiple locations where payloads can be attached to the craft. One option is next to the pilot. Other locations include a pod on the top side of the rocket.
One interesting experiment she discussed was a water bridge. This is a string of water that forms a connection between two beakers, like a little bridge. This intriguing phenomenon was originally described in 1893 and usually requires the application of electricity. Rodway said that scientists think that in microgravity, they might be able to coax the bridge to form again after it breaks.
For those of you who wish to send an experiment into space, XCOR offers a payload users guide.
The area of private companies sending satellites, experiments and tourists into space promises to develop over the coming decades and should be an interesting one to watch.
Please stay tuned to Inside Science all week for more updates from San Francisco!

Oklahoma City, OK – October 3, 2014 – The American Quarter Horse (AQHA) World
Championship Show November 7-22, will once again feature a para-equestrian reining demonstration on November 15, 2014. The demonstration will take place in The Jim Norick Arena at the Oklahoma State Fair Park in Oklahoma City after the Senior Reining CRI 3*. The previous 2013 AQHA World Championship Show featured english, western, and halter disciplines, 3,401 entries, a total purse more than $2.4 million, riders from 49 states and 7 countries, and the best Reiners in the business. This para-reining demonstration will be the third opportunity for spectators, organizers, and current and potential athletes to experience para-reining on an international platform. The 2013 event was the launch pad for the 2014 development year and 2015 and beyond international para-reining competition. Riders in the past two demonstrations included international para-dressage athletes, two Paralympians, and current reining equestrians. Each reiner rode specific patterns that were part of the newly adapted para-reining rules. Riders will be judged by FEI 4* Reining jury and given accolades based on their performance. USA Reining and the United States Para-Equestrian Association, in cooperation with the AQHA and National Reining Horse Association (NRHA), make this event possible.
The popularity of the first para-reining demonstration began at the 2013 AQHA World Championship Show in November. The second installment was during the Kentucky Reining Cup April 26, 2014, held at the Kentucky Horse Park and was titled the Cargill's Nutrena® brand Para-Reining Event. The April demonstration was a feature during the 2014 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games Reining Selection Trial and the 2014 Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event.
With the proven success of the 2013 and 2014 Para-Reining demonstrations USA Reining is looking forward to continuing to work with the AQHA and NRHA to grow this para-equestrian discipline into an international high performance sport. It has already received numerous praises from international athletes, coaches, and judges, interested in participating in this future high-performance para-equestrian discipline.
During the 2014 competition year, USA Reining is using newly adapted para-reining rules. The new rules are a collaboration of AQHA Equestrians with Disabilities, NRHA and USA Reining. The adapted rules will be continually specialized, revised, and collated with the FEI para-equestrian rules for the 2015 competition year. Members are encouraged to provide feedback for integration of the 2015 rules.
For more information about USA Reining, please visit www.USA-Reining.com.
If you are interested in the para-reining program or would like to provide member feedback please contact Brad Ettleman at firstname.lastname@example.com.

A Five-Room Hotel overlooking Marigot Bay – St. Lucia
Anse La Raye – Street Party
One of the good local events on St. Lucia is the Anse La Raye Street Party. First held in 1999, it's become the local festival to beat them all.
The small fishing village of Anse La Raye is just 10 minutes from the Inn on the Bay. Every Friday night on a stretch of road running along the beach, groups of local craftspeople, singers and musicians come together to perform.
The setting is awesome, the folks are friendly as can be and the fun goes on and on. Come along and enjoy the great live entertainment, and sample St. Lucia's fresh fish or spiny lobster prepared on the spot. Bus leaves the Inn at 7:00 p.m.
Our official driver and guide for this event, will stay with you throughout the evening, to make sure you don't miss any of the fun. Return time to the Inn is normally around 10:00 p.m.

|Property type
This charming, newly renovated, simple ground floor apartment is situated in the heart of Venice where the Venetians live, a 12 minute walk from St Mark's Square. The area is one of the few real neighborhoods in Venice – near the gardens when the Biennale is held, a vaporetto stop from the Lido beach and weekly market. Barges selling fresh fruit and vegetables dock on the local canal, an excellent cheese shop, wine store (take the empty glass bottles for filling!), bread shop, fish stall and butcher are all close by on Via Garibaldi. The evening "passeggiata" (stroll) is busy with Venetian children, babies and dogs. There are plenty of excellent inexpensive restaurants nearby and some excellent and expensive places to eat as well! Museums and concerts are easy walking distance in this remarkably tourist free part of Venice.
The apartment has a living room/eating area and a tiny cooking alcove with stove and refrigerator across from a small bathroom, with a sits bath, basin and lavatory. There is an inviting private garden perfect for breakfast and romantic dinners! The apartment is cozy in winter and cool in summer.
Keywords: private, groundfloor, apartment, flat
A lovely little place that is accurately described and well furnished as advertised. The owner's instructions were excellent and the apartment well situated for exploring the city. The butcher (on the canal) was excellent and his rabbit sausage really good. The supermarket on Garibaldi (the street at the end of the canal) was well stocked and had an excellent variety of goods. We came by water taxi from the airport as we had a late arrival. It was expensive but worth it as we did not have to drag around large suitcases. Travel tip: When you buy the ticket from the booth at the airport , ask them to pick you up at the same place they leave you. You get 10 euros off, they are very reliable (they came for us at 5:00am!), and the person at the booth spoke excellent English! Highly recommended little apartment; we'd love to come back!
this apartment is comfortable and everything that is said in the comments and more. We loved the location in a quiet neigborhood with a great pizza place at the end of the street. It was cold but the patio would have been a good addition.
My husband and I have just returned from a one week stay at the lovely Casa Clare. We immediately felt comfortable from the moment we stepped inside. This place is fresh and airy with modern touches where they count along with charm and character as well; a perfect balance! The kitchen is well appointed and we had no trouble cooking the odd meal there. The sitting area is very comfortable with a modern couch situated in front of a glorious original brick wall. The dining table is rustic with a solid marble top and all her chairs are adorned with Venetian tassels- I loved that! The queen sized bed had a very good mattress which gave us a good night's sleep. As well, the bathroom seemed newly renovated with very modern fixtures.The side garden was totally charming and private; a real highlight!
We found the place easily with Clare's directions and it was never hard to find our way home, at all.
I must say the neighbourhood was fantastic. We discovered (with her helpful notes) an amazing deli with, it seems, the best Italy has to offer. An equally superb cheese shop, numerous pastry shops and cafes kept us very well fed!
The local restaurants also supplied us with great options on the days we didn't want to go where the tourists were. Two places became our favorites, including one that was just 2 minutes away.
I highly recommend this charming flat and intend on returning, hopefully many more times!
For a great local Venice experience, we recommend Casa Clare. This place is super for singles or couples, with an extra convertible bed also available for children or additional guests.
This apartment is in a great local neighbourhood and a short walk from the vaporetto, outdoor markets, and great local restaurants. The property was in excellent condition and we enjoyed breakfast in the garden. The kitchen is cozy for 2 cooks at once, but well-equipped and all the appliances are in good condition.
The apartment's modern renovation was obviously done well and carefully, leaving a comfortable and functional living space. This property provides a great opportunity to experience Venice away from the busy hotels and tourist groups. There are many great shops within a 5-minute walk, including a wine store with 2-euro Prosecco refills (empty bottles were waiting in the apartment!).
I fell in love with Venice years ago and used to stay in the little apartment when it was owned by an American couple who holidayed there for nearly 20 years. I have always enjoyed the combination of walking all over Venice, exploring museums, churches and resturants, then coming home to the peace and quietness of the apartment and garden. I love to cook there, or read and write and relax, emerging from the holiday rejuvenated by the beauty and the serenity of Venice!
The Owner purchased this apartment in 2007

Today is the day, where the seeds will be laid out to the public, the numbers will be drawn and the debate will begin on who belonged where and then slowly will turn to who will beat whom. Teams will know their fates before lunchtime today.
I have had several great conversations over the past few nights with committee members from leagues like the Patroon, WAC and Foothills and these gentlemen all agree that a system is the just way to go and I am hoping that the Harbin system, which rewards strength of schedule, is the one they choose today.
If that is chosen, I think it does the best job accounting for all teams because it factors wins and losses, but also takes the strength of a win and even the strength of a loss into consideration. With factors like those in the criteria, "harbining" out the teams will reduce or effectively eliminate all of the questioning of why seeds fell where they did, cut out the perception of favoritism and spell out for you where you fell and why you landed there.
In Class A, for example, a Harbin system would produce the following bracket today and I think it is the fairest one:
1. Scotia, 2. Mohon, 3. Lansingburgh, 4. Glens Falls, 5. Hudson Falls, 6. NDBG, 7. Queensbury, 8. SGF, 9. Schalmont, 10. Gloversville, 11. ICC, 12. BH-BL, 13, AP
If you look at those seedings you will see that a team like Glens Falls is rewarded for their non-league schedule over Hudson Falls for example and a team like NDBG is factored properly as they have some big wins against top teams despite all of their Class AA losses. Clearly, they aren't the 10th best team so a 6 is fairer. The major reward at the top, is the League Champion finish, which some may argue shouldn't give you Harbin points, but it does.
Once I get an indication on which system was used, as promised, I will post it with the seeds later today.

The art of being self-made and how to find out what you're really passionate about
I'm always in search of litmus tests for varying aspects of life. For example, if you want to know what someone really cares about read this. Well, here's my latest…
If you want to know what someone is really passionate about, ask them who they'd have lunch with if it could be anyone in the world besides their family or friends.
Growing up I dreamed of playing in the NBA. I honestly believed I was going to make it…until, I was in 8th grade or so.
I dedicated my life to it. I attended basketball camp all summer long from 8am to 4pm. I'd get home; quickly grab a snack and then train intensely on my own all afternoon into the evening. Ever hear of Jump Soles? Well, you'd find me running on the street, and in my driveway doing drills with them on.
By summers end (of my last devoted summer), my goal was to be able to dunk. Unfortunately for me: White Man Can't Jump. (Although, I was easily able to touch the rim which was a huge accomplishment for me!)
(I still played JV/Varsity basketball but it was never the same once I realized I wasn't good enough to make the NBA) I also remember watching sports all the time. Who could ever forget the good old Sundays of the NBA on NBC back when Jordan was playing?
Or, if I was watching college basketball 60 minutes would come on once the games were over. Ugh, 60 minutes? I'd turn it off and go finish (actually start) my homework that was due on Monday.
About 4 years ago, I realized 60 minutes was one of my favorite shows. It's absolutely fascinating. Every story is interesting. No, this isn't a promotion for 60 minutes but it's certainly proof that our tastes evolve.
So back to my litmus test: When I was growing up, if you asked me who I'd have lunch with I would've said Michael Jordan in less than a heart beat. Sadly, I had many dreams of playing basketball with him in my driveway. The best dreams of him, though, were when he'd be in my kitchen having lunch and I'd have time to call my friends and invite them over. Those were some disappointing mornings, let me tell you.
Anyway, if you asked me who I'd have lunch with now it would absolutely be a self-made entrepreneur. There are not many more impressive things to me than someone who starts out with a little and ends with a lot. (A lot doesn't have to be money, by the way. It could be power although often linked to money but influence, access, free time and impact to name a few.)
While my goal isn't to become a billionaire like Mark Cuban, I'm still fascinated by him and many others.
There's something to be said about creating your own way in this world. There's something to be said about those who are completely self-made from scratch. People who work for what they have, instead of having things handed to them, are just so much more interesting. You can't buy that perspective and depth it gives you. You can't fake it nor can you successfully mask it.
While entrepreneurship makes me tick, it probably doesn't make you tick. I've argued before against being an entrepreneur unless you're practically possessed by your idea because you believe in it so much.
And I'd argue that if you're dying to find out what your passion is or what you're truly interested in – ask yourself, "Who would I have lunch with if it could be anyone in the world besides my family or friends?"
I think it's a very telling question.
If you think you have too many passions, you might enjoy this post.

Beauty is in the eye of the freeholder. So say many of the thousands of flat-owners who've linked up and formed companies to manage and maintain their blocks and houses themselves.
No more stern notes about noise after lights out, off-street parking, weekend parties and rubbish collection. The freeholders are taking over the responsibilities of their landlords and managing agents.
Collective enfranchisement - as it is known in serious property circles - became easier after July last year, when the Government announced that only 50 instead of 66 per cent of owners in a group of flats or houses were needed to buy their freeholds. It wasn't long before many were serving notices on their landlords, forming companies and running the properties themselves.
In the past few weeks, we've seen a variation on the theme. Under the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002, groups of leaseholders in Britain's 1.5 million flats can form right-to-manage (RTM) companies to do the same thing - without having to buy the freehold.
'It's like having a trial run before going on to purchase the freehold. The cost is relatively small and it gives groups of flat-owners the chance to work together and pick up the basics of managing their properties,' says David Hewitt, executive secretary of the Association of Residential Managing Agents.
Business has been brisk since RTM was introduced on 1 October. Companies House has talked to at least 140 groups of leaseholders interested in setting up RTM companies, while Jordans, the company formations specialist, has issued 70 RTM packages (£320 plus vat) to interested parties - five of them going a step further and incorporating at Companies House.
But Right to Manage isn't only a case of monthly meetings and weekly pledges. It needs planning and persistence, though the setting-up is relatively straightforward. Your block must be self-contained and have two or more flats, and two-thirds of owners must hold leases of 21 years or more from their sale date. Next you must serve a notice on your landlord who has to give you the go-ahead. It then takes two to three weeks to form a RTM company.
Now the hard work begins. As David Hewitt says: 'Leaseholders, in their enthusiasm to grasp control, sometimes overlook the real graft of managing a block or house that may have a leaky roof, broken gutters, faulty water tanks and cracks in the walls. It's vital to get a structural survey before you go ahead.'
Another key to creating the free, friendly and attractive place of your dreams can be to use a professional managing agent to run it. 'If you are in a group of up to five apartments you can invariably manage it yourselves, by appointing one flat-owner as a manager, another as the secretary and holding regular meetings,' says Hewitt. Anything larger, however, may need the professional touch. 'Obviously the bigger the block the greater the potential problems, including the human ones of owners with hidden agendas.'
Guy Hollamby, who has had more than 10 years' experience of collective enfranchisement at London estate agents John D Wood, agrees: 'Putting management on a professional level avoids unpleasant tasks like having to knock on a neighbour's door because they've failed to pay their dues and then meeting them on the stairs the next day.'
However, many leaseholders have regarded buying their freehold and now, no doubt, taking over management, as an ideal opportunity to cut the expense of professional management. So why make your bid for power if you're not going to handle management yourself?
Apart from a trial run to your freehold, an RTM company bypasses disputes with incompetent landlords and agents and helps reduce annual service charges. Peter Haler, chief executive of Lease, the government-funded leasehold advisory service, says: 'Most landlords are fair, but if yours is one of the 10 per cent who behave badly, RTM could be the ideal solution.'

After an exhausting workout, you sit down to check your email and what do you see? The dreaded announcement of your high school reunion is just 5 months away! You think of ways to lose 50 pounds in 5 months? You really want to make an entrance in style so you and your friends decide to hire a limo and arrive altogether with all eyes staring at you, jaws dropping and saliva drooling! But don't forget those 50 pounds!
My own reunion
That's what happened to me at my recent high school reunion in Perth. Our school holds reunions for all graduates since its foundation. It's a party for all ages where the young ones laugh boisterously and the "young once" stare and complain about the noise and how the school is not the same as it was.
Suddenly, the band started playing different genres of music starting from the eldest group's era. I heard cheers when they played songs by Elvis and they danced with some moves! When it was our high school songs, it was our turn to show off some grooves.
Still, there were the hushed voices and silent giggles from all corners of the gym. People commenting about someone's hairpiece or someone's old-fashioned attire. It was then I realized that I was back in high school once again! Whether you loved high school or hated it, you should go to your reunion at all costs!
Ah, those days of envy
Back in high school, I envied rich kids and wished one day I could be like them. In this homecoming, I enjoyed watching how those former popular ones are now living extremely ordinary lives. The head of the cheer-leading squad works at a boutique! The athlete of the year now works part-time at the local grocery. And me? The so-so class secretary now has an online blog and I arrived in a Perth limousine!
In my 20th reunion, I will look forward to finding single, married or divorced classmates. I imagine seeing my geekiest classmate looking all buffed and really hot. Who knows, maybe sparks will fly with my best friend, the history nerd. That is, if she still doesn't want to part with her books.
In our 30th or 40th reunion, things will be quite interesting with looking for things that aren't there anymore, like hair, teeth, work or even beloved teachers. We will realize, we are all mortal. That will be the time to cheer up and be glad with whoever are left to reminisce days of chanting "We are the Champions"
Don't miss the chance
So if you get that email to attend your reunion, please by all means, go! Take that one nostalgic trip back in time where most of your lives were molded. Stay for a few hours, or stay until the very end. And don't forget to hire a limo for that dramatic effect. The important thing is that you were there and you could say, "Thanks for the memories."

Think back to your favorite family home video – the clothes that people are wearing (those high-waisted shorts!), the hairstyles (80s hair!), everything that's changed in the world since then (whoa, technology!). Well, just like you love your family videos, Bigelow Tea does, too. That's why it's so much fun to do a flashback and highlight a few fave videos from YouTube.
Learn about the story behind "Constant Comment®" – told by Co-Chairman David Bigelow:
President and CEO Cindi Bigelow adds a bit of wit and fun while showing you how to make a yummy Greenie Martini. Watch until the end – otherwise you'll miss the shake-off.
Learn the art behind the perfect cup of tea (don't worry, the tea police won't come after you if you don't!):
And then there was that time one of our employees, Jamaar Wright, wrote a rap for Bigelow Tea (it's pretty cool).
So, yeah, while a lot has changed over the years, one thing that never changes is this: a good cup of tea makes everything better. Wouldn't you agree? #TeaProudly

Compositing Reel 2013
- November 24th, 2013

Posts Tagged 'intro'
This intro is from a massive project that I completed in late September. The project was for NPI's continuing dental education webinar series – Dental Marketing Summit Series – hosted on Dentaltown. The project consisted of a little over 7 hours of greenscreen footage that I edited down into 7 hour long episodes. Each episode had it's own custom intro and outro and a myriad of slides in between. All slides and intros were written by co-host Mark Dilatush and I provided the design & animation. This is the opener for the first episode.
This is a quick motion graphics intro that I made back in February for Professor Griff's presentation at ETSU during Black History Month. No big frills just some Photoshop & After Effects. I'll post a link to the whole presentation here when I finish uprezing the presentation (it was originally SD & HD).
Just got this opener together and approved for the College of Nursing to be used in their presentation to a national nursing conference on the plan of care regarding their Public Housing Clinic initiatives with the JCHC. Script, narration, and photography supplied by the ETSU College of Nursing with additional photography courtesy of University Photographer Charles Warden. Video footage filmed by Zion Madden of ETSU Digital Media Services. I was responsible for motion graphics, animation, and scoring with Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects, and SonicFire Pro. Nothing super special here, but I thought I'd share the results.
I finished this project a few weeks ago and thought I'd throw it up here. The concept was devised by David Currie, Director of Digital Media Services in the Office of eLearning, and was intended to help in promoting the University Seminar course at ETSU. David had the idea that, by providing clips from student essays about the course read by actual students from the class, students would become more interested in participating in ETSU 1000. All that being said, I must say that, in staring at a half hour or so of faceless hands typing on a keyboard, the ideas just weren't coming of how to formulate this promo.
The funny thing with design is that you never know where or when inspiration will strike you. In talking with a friend of mine about a music video project he was working on, we watched a few examples he was referencing and one included a sequence of video with thicker than normal letterboxing, giving the video a super widescreen kind of look. Something about that sequence stuck with me and I began to experiment with my hands source footage. Another element crystallized when I was thinking about how I rarely ever use a close to or pure white background in my promos. A few days later, the Night of 1000 Hands was over and the ETSU 1000 Promo was a reality.
And now, credits. the aforementioned David Currie was the director of the project and Jason Jones, also of the Office of eLearning, produced the footage. The talent included various students from the ETSU 1000 course and I performed all post-production duties including design, editing, and graphics by way of Photoshop, Illustrator, Final Cut, Audition, and After Effects.
So the first entry is always the one that you rack your brain over. You know, the blank screen with the flashing cursor that just teases you to challenge its sheer nothingness. It's not unlike the first time you sit down to hash out a plot or a story. You keep telling yourself that the best way to get started is to get something – anything – on that page, no matter the irrelevance. So you start typing . . . and then a few moments later you find yourself jabbing impulsively at the Backspace key to purge your conscience of the irrelevant and poorly worded verbal garbage that initially seemed so clever and relevant.
More staring at the blinking cursor followed by countless attempts to get that opening passage just right.
But, that's just it – it's not right. None of it is. No carefully crafted series of words, no cleverly concocted witty phrases, and no grand sweeping statements of intrinsic insight are flowing from either your mind or your fingers. So you walk away from the screen. Maybe you find something else to occupy your time. Maybe you even forget about that screen and that malevolent, mocking cursor. Better still, the frenetic tide of the endless, twisting mass of aborted narrative fades from memory. Satisfied with your present endeavor, you might again allow your mind to wander off to the ever-growing abundance of Things That Need To Be Done.
And, then, slowly you find yourself drawn back to that screen.
And it waits silently.
The menacing glare of the cursor flickers steadily in the face of your newfound confidence. You take a deep breath and mount your verbal offensive on the void that lies before you. The soft sound of the keyboard lulls you into a steady stream of perfectly anti-aliased typefaces as the text block begins to grow larger. Powerful imagery and profound thoughts power your narrative onwards, enveloping more and more of the negative space. Your pace quickens as you enter line after line of inspired prose until the perfect conclusion drifts through your fingers and you sit back to admire That Which You Have Created.
After straining yourself from patting yourself on the back you confidently scroll back to the beginning and begin to read and . . . find yourself jabbing dejectedly at the Backspace key again. The cursed cursor devours your magnum opus character by character until there is nothing left but the cold, unforgiving light of the blank screen.
Then you resolve yourself to tell the truth.
This is a blog about the storytelling process and my failures, struggles, and triumphs to give a voice to my ideas. I hope that you enjoy it.

Mike Zimmer wondered if the day ever would come.
For 20 years, he had been one of the NFL's most respected assistants. But he had come up short in five interviews to be a head coach.
Zimmer finally learned this week that at age 57 he would be the top man for the first time. On Friday, two days after he got the job, he was introduced at Winter Park as the ninth coach in Vikings history.
"Sometimes you wonder," Zimmer said. "But I have a lot of confidence in myself. I feel like I was destined to do this. … I've got a chip on my shoulder. I want to make sure that 31 other teams know that I'm here and ready to coach this football team."
Zimmer, Cincinnati's defensive coordinator the past six seasons, also has some emotions inside. His wife, Vikki, died unexpectedly at the age of 50 on Oct. 8, 2009, of what was termed natural causes.
Zimmer said, "She would be real proud today." He later said, "I know she is looking down today."
On hand to see Zimmer finally introduced as an NFL head coach were son Adam, 30, a Bengals assistant defensive back coach expected to join his father's Minnesota staff, and daughters Marki, 26, and Corri, 23. So was Zimmer's girlfriend of three years, Tina Glass.
Members of Zimmer's family know how much he has wanted to be a head coach. It was emotional finally seeing it happen.
"I was almost in tears just finally seeing him up there doing this for the first time," Marki said. "It's really cool."
Marki moved in with her father in Cincinnati after Vikki Zimmer died and plans to live with him in Minnesota. Both Marki and Corri had sent their father text messages during the week, each mentioning how happy their mother would be to see him finally become a head man.
"My mom's favorite color was purple, and so this is like just falling into place," Corri said.
The purple-clad Vikings are coming off a 5-10-1 season, so Zimmer will have plenty of work to do as he takes over from the fired Leslie Frazier.
"I go out and observe what needs to be fixed, and I fix," he said. "I do think I'm a fixer."
Zimmer was short on specifics. He declined to speculate on his coaching staff, although it's anticipated Norv Turner will be the offensive coordinator and George Edwards the defensive coordinator. Zimmer said he will announce his staff all at once.
He sidestepped a question about Minnesota's woeful quarterback situation and wouldn't say whether he will run a 4-3 or a 3-4 defense, both of which he has managed as a coordinator. But Zimmer let it be known he will take an active role in the defense that allowed more points than any other team in 2013.
"It's always to going to be part of my little baby because that's kind of who I am and what got me here," he said.
What got Zimmer to the Vikings was running a Bengals unit that ranked in the top seven in the NFL in total defense in four of the past five years. He also was defensive coordinator when Dallas led the NFL in 2003 in total defense.
After Frazier was fired Dec. 30, general manager Rick Spielman hit the road and interviewed seven candidates. He said at least one member of the Wilf ownership family was at each one.
Spielman had planned to bring two or three candidates to Minnesota for second interviews but was so impressed by Zimmer during his Jan. 8 interview in Cincinnati that he became the only finalist.
"When we talked to Mike Zimmer, there was something different about that," Spielman said. "We interviewed him for a very long time. We brought him in for a second interview and spent another whole day with him (last Tuesday). And the thing that stuck out to us the most was not only the passion, but the football intelligence — and the leadership."
NFL coaches and players have raved about that for years; yet for some reason Zimmer never was able to get a head position. He had been a college assistant from 1979-93, a Cowboys assistant from 1994-2006, which included a Super Bowl win in his second season, and Atlanta's defensive coordinator in 2007 before going to Cincinnati.
Zimmer has been described as brutally honest, a trait that was seen when the Bengals were featured on HBO's "Hard Knocks" in 2009 and 2013. Many have said that Zimmer's bluntness perhaps has hampered him in previous interviews for head positions.
"Mike's his own man," said Bengals radio analyst and former offensive lineman Dave Lapham, who is close to Zimmer. "He's not going to approach an interview from a political standpoint and say things he doesn't really mean just to get a job. That's not him. He's going to tell it like it is. … He's not going to massage things and change things just to get a job."
Zimmer said he was "never (too) direct in any interview" he previously had and acknowledged that's a "perception" that has been put out there. Regardless, he said he felt comfortable in his interviews with the Vikings because of Spielman and members of the ownership group, which includes brothers Zygi and Mark Wilf, as well as Zygi's son, Jonathan.
"Being on the same page is probably more important than anything," Zimmer said. "The Wilfs, they want to win the Super Bowl as much as anybody in the world."
Spielman said Zimmer will have input into player personnel but that ultimately it will be the GM's decision. For now, Zimmer was saying all the right things about the Vikings' personnel.
"I think we've got a great group of young core talent here," he said. "Obviously, we've got some very, very special players."
Zimmer said he already has met with some players, although he didn't name them. He said the most "overwhelming" aspect of his initial days on the job has been receiving so many phone calls and text messages from well-wishers.
After all, it's been a long time coming for Zimmer. But he has no doubt that he's ready.
"Obviously, I've become a better football coach in 35 years, I hope," he said. "But you know, I just know that I'm pretty good at my job. I'm pretty good at what I do."

Posted in August 2009
Dear Homeopathic Colleague
Homeopathy has suffered a very serious attack. The Voices of Young Science, a UK based group from Sense About Science, dedicated to eliminating homeopathy, sent a letter to the World Health Organization asking WHO to condemn homoeopathy in developing countries, especially in the areas of influenza, childhood diarrhoea, malaria and AIDS.
WHO replied last week with statements from various Departmental Heads saying there is no indication of effectiveness of homoeopathy in any of these areas. VoYS has circulated the response of WHO to the media and have amplified the letter as if it is a public announcement from WHO, WHICH IT IS NOT. Additionally, VoYS has stated on its website that it will be contacting the Health Ministries of all countries in the world to let them know about the WHO response and press them to condemn homoeopathy in their country.
The BBC online then spread this false item, as WHO Warns Against Homeopathy Use They have since apologised and admitted that it was hasty and mistaken in posting the article as an official statement, without checking the facts and without balancing the article with input from official homeopathy organizations, and have changed the headline.
But the original BBC version has been picked up by newspapers worldwide and every day more and more online sites and blogs are copying the article. If we let this go it will be too late, people will believe this dirty trick campaign.
We are asking you to do two actions immediately:
Protest to the bbc and newspapers spreading this article:
1. Please send emails or letters to the BBC complaint department AND to other newspapers publishing the statement. Tell them that this headline is false and BBC has since changed the article. (Below see: BBC response and list of Media reporting the article)
Email : email@example.com
Launch a mass protest to world health organization:
It is important that WHO hear from as MANY INDIVIDUALS AS POSSIBLE
- Read the attached letter which has been sent by "homeopathy lives!" to who.
- Adapt it to your own wording, while keeping the main points. It is best to have a variety of letters. Don't forget to sign you name.
- Send it to one or more of the who email addresses below
Please forward this article to all of your homoeopathy contacts. Please blind copy the email addresses and erase the sender email address. Please ask your patients to join the protest.
Just Forwarding is not enough! Make sure to send at least two letters.
It is important that the homoeopathy community around the world stand up against this malicious attack.
Why this needs your action now
If you are living in the US or have no contact with developing countries, you may wonder why this is an important issue for you to act upon. In fact some suggest that no response be made and that we continue to focus our energies on our good work.
However, this attack is different
1. This is a group (VoYS) that is aggressively dedicated to destroying homoeopathy. They have stated this on their website and in their letter to their members announcing the WHO letter. While located in the UK, they are reaching out to all countries. They have tried to influence India and right now they have specifically targeted several homoeopathy projects in Africa. They contact governmental offices, national health ministries, academic medical departments and other organizations in these countries and warn them against homoeopathy using distortion and half truths. They use every means at their disposal to disrupt or end the projects. They have only one goal-to end homeopathy in the world and they are effective and dangerous to homoeopathy.
2. Existing homoeopathy projects will suffer because of these attacks, hindering raising of funds and initiating research. We are a holistic healing community. When one of our practitioners or one location of our profession is attacked, it is an attack against all of us. Just as we would not turn our backs on treating patients with acute attacks of cholera or malaria, who without homeopathic treatment might die, we should not be complacent about this group. This is a serious acute attack and needs a like response.
3. These attacks are coming because homoeopathy is gaining approval and popularity. We must be ready to stand firmly beside the good work that we are doing and be ready to assure that all people, especially those in developing countries, have access to this healing modality. If we do not respond this could affect each and every one of us.
Please take action now

BBC response to complaint:
Many thanks for your e-mail. We have since updated this report and it now includes two comments putting the case for homeopathy – one referring to treatment for diarrhoea – although we accept that it would have been desirable to have had these in the article earlier.
It became clear from correspondence that some readers found the original headline – WHO warns against homeopathy use – ambiguous, and this has been altered to reflect the fact that people are being urged not to rely on homeopathy.
Best wishes,

I've had to set the parental controls to block my own access to QVC as I have a tendency to fall prey to a hard sell. In fact, if they pick the right product range I'm a pushover for an extremely soft sell. My particular weaknesses are cleaning products and running gadgets. Cleaning products promise to clean the house for me and running gadgets make me feel as though, one day, I may finish a 5k in under 30 mins. Good money has followed bad and yet I still have dust on the shelves and an ancient 5k PB the wrong side of 33 mins.
I've spotted another experimental running shoe and I'm struggling to resist.
I can see that they would make me look like one of the shoemaker's elves but they might also increase my running speed. I think the Swedish inventor is claiming a modest 1% improvement and although that won't take me very much closer to the 30 minute target – every little helps as they say.
The Airia One has been 20 years in the making, which is a phenomenal length of time to spend obsessing about a pair of shoes. It is designed to mimic the motion of a wheel so the foot rolls away in the perfect Pose form. With their strange upturned toes the shoes do look a little like they've been carved out of a car tyre but nonetheless I would love to try them out.
The Airia One is currently available for pre-order if you are prepared to back the production.
