The left side of the fuselage is undoubtedly attract sb.'s attention power /USB hybrid interface yellow, plus two USB on the right side of the fuselage on the right and 3 interface, Y50-80 in the 12.8mm on the fuselage provides more than three of the USB 3 interface for users, which is relatively rare in the thin computer.
In addition, the Y50-80 with LENOVO Y50-80 Battery also provides the user with Mini HDMI interface and a card reader. But here is that, we do not see the companion Mini HDMI wire in parts, if can be given to users as an attachment, the author personally feel that will be better.
Next, we will pass the review for everyone in detail the characteristics of FX50JK, this product has the attention of friends, might as well through the review to fully understand what the FX50JK product.
It designs, FX50JK looks at first glance like notebook computer is a traditional, but carefully taste can find work, and overall design of this product is very fine, but in terms of color, also used with high-end ROG series the same classic red and black color, this has to a certain extent the characteristics of this product game.
FX50JK with 4cell ASUS FX50JK Battery cover part adopts piano baking varnish craft, subject to black color, edge part imprint printed strip decorative pattern, and there is certain and color gradient effect between the top cover, so FX50JK looks very eye-catching.
In addition, impressive 3000 * 1800 pixel QHD+ screen is preserved. Considering the time using the IdeaPad Y50-80 may be frequent switching notebook panel and support mode, Lenovo improved the design of screen hinge. This is similar to "watch strap hinge structure by manual" will be more than 800 independent stainless steel and aluminum components in the assembly, officially called the design more tough than before.

This product comprehensive high configuration and complex hinge mechanism has a very high cost, may not be for the general consumer market products. But it is shown as the main participants in the PC industry, Lenovo has been to a new level, have the ability to create new product category, and makes the direction of the demonstration for industrial development.
As one faces the mainstream crowd introduced models, design of the TOSHIBA Satellite S70-B laptop new diamond grains, is able to attract a lot of attention of the user. Especially the upcoming colorful edition models, which can meet the different age and occupation of the purchase demand of user. But because of the product positioning, this product with core i5 4210U processor and NVIDIA GeForce entry-level 820M graphics, in terms of performance was not very prominent advantage. But the PCmark 8 test 2142 test score and 3Dmark score of 4395, is has been proved that TOSHIBA Satellite S70-B with TOSHIBA Satellite S70-B-106 Battery is very suitable for daily entertainment and office applications. Importantly, this notebook will be priced at 5000 yuan, as a 15 inch notebook is not very high, so it is very worthy of attention.
With the combination of top hardware extreme thin shape and can realize the innovation in the morphological appearance, associate with YOGA PRO 3 sounded to enter the high-end consumer notebook product market of the horn.
In fact, the current YOGA notebook, sales is important, but can cause consumers to see the ThinkPad Yoga 14 with LENOVO ThinkPad Yoga 14 Battery is a unique and outstanding notebook, and continue to give consumers a new cognition of Lenovo, I think its primary mission has been completed more than half.

Digital Theatre licenses productions from content providers, and those licenses can expire if we don't renew them. We strive to keep the content you want to see, but we acquire licensing rights for productions for a set period of time, not indefinitely, so some titles do leave Digital Theatre.
Whenever a license is running out, we evaluate whether to renew it using the same criteria we apply to potential new content. We consider factors like:
- Are the rights to renew the licence still available?
- What is the usage of that title among our subscriber and rental base?
- What is the cost of the licence for that particular title?
- Are there other factors, such as restrictions, that may apply?
Sometimes we are able to restore our productions after the license expires so they are only removed temporarily.

Eileen Brush, who was part of the ROC which served Fighter
Command during WW2.
'In those days when you kept a secret you kept a secret'
Taken from:
This is Cornwall -West Briton
Thursday, November 10, 2011
On the Thursday before Remembrance Weekend, our local newspaper, the West Briton, carried a two page spread relating different aspects of life in the Armed Forces from WW2 to the present day. I was surprised and pleased to see one of the articles was about a local WW2 Woman Observer Eileen Brush.
Lawrence H
AS A 17-YEAR-OLD Eileen Brush left her family home in Mabe and moved to Truro to work in uniform – that was as much as her parents knew.
She went to work her shifts every day, entering the offices through a discreet door in Union Street, and putting on her headset, sterilised after each use.
The aeroplane enthusiast spent her days tracking the flight paths of RAF and hostile aircraft through Cornwall, communicating with observers across the county who kept a close eye on the aircraft overhead.
She was sworn to secrecy about her job as a member of the Observer Corps, which passed information on to the tactical Fighter Command – "in those days when you kept a secret, you kept a secret".
"It was just like you see on the TV or in films," said the 85-year-old at her Truro home.
"Except we didn't have those long handles to push things around on the map, we didn't cover a big enough area to warrant it.
"Around the operation table there were ten of us. I liked to know how fast the aircraft went, which wasn't something we really needed to know in the ops room.
"We had to track them, the route they were taking and then let people know in the next area there was an aircraft coming in so it was always safely handed over."
Every two and a half minutes the team would plot the plane's position on the colour-coded chart.
Joining quite late on in the war in 1944, Ms Brush does not recall many planes being brought down or hostile craft flying across the county while she was on duty.
She said the role in Cornwall would have been far easier than working in Kent or Norfolk.
"It was a job but we felt we were doing something to help during the war. And I enjoyed it," she said.
She fondly remembers working, waiting with cigarettes and matches in hand for their five-minute window to smoke on the hour.
"Sometimes the aircraft would become airborne and we would be plotting it and the blighter would go back to St Mawgan again," she recalled. "They had to practise take-offs and landings or were playing around."
A couple of years after the end of the war the section became the Royal Observer Corps as King George VI gave recognition of its efforts during the Battle of Britain.
Eileen joined the ROC in 1944 and served in No 20 Group Truro Ops Room as a plotter. Unusually for a girl she was also an avid aircraft recognition enthusiast. She stood down on 12/5/45 and re-joined the ROC on 1/1/47 again serving in the Truro Ops Room Crews.
She converted from the aircraft role to the nuclear role and moved with the Truro Ops Room when it took over the new protected accommodation in Daniel Road, Truro. Eileen stood down on 31 March 1973 when No 11 Group Truro Control was closed and all the posts transferred to No 10 Group Exeter.
By 2000 she was living in a small flat run by the Royal British Legion in Truro. You can see from the article that she still treats her service in the ROC with extreme secrecy ! The right hand photo shows Eileen complete with Mae West at RAF St Mawgan (12 miles from Truro) where she had no doubt been on an air experience flight in a Shackleton.
We were lucky in Cornwall and had lots of these flights right up to 1995. She never joined ROCA despite invites to do so. There are a couple of mistakes in the article but we can forgive Eileen for those. At 85 her memory will not be perfect !

Happy Birthday Stephen!!!!
January 3rd
"Stephen - you enrich so many peoples lives with your music, your soul and your charisma. I am proud to host this site in honor of you, just for those reasons and to wish you a Birthday filled with love, hope, happiness, and joy, just like you bring to all of us in each and every song and note you create. This Birthday tribute here is just a sample of many people who admire you and love what you share. A warm thank you extended to you and here's wishing you the brightest of years ahead. Happy Birthday, Stephen! To quote you at Woodstock, "We just love ya, we just love ya ;-)"..."
- Webmaster, RnRWoman (firstname.lastname@example.com)
"Happy Birthday - I love you man!"
"Happy Birthday Stephen! Really enjoy listening to your guitar playing and singing. Hope there is a new solo album from you soon!
of another incident with Stills. It was actually the same night he was
attacked by the lobster dinner in Atlantic City. I ran into Stills going
up the esculator at the Sands Casino in Atlantic City! I was going down
the other esculator and said, "Hi," and waved. Stills sort of
glared at me and gave me a "who are you look?" Later that
night, I got to shake his hand which was cool! I think I confused him...hehe.
Everyone else by the stage was giving him the "high fives" I
stuck my hand out..Stills stared at it for a sec...smiled, and shook it.
He's got a strong grip!"

Happy b-day Stephen!!! I keep listening!!!"
favorite Stills story from on-stage appearances occured in 1977 when I
saw CSN in Birmingham, AL on the "boat" tour. Legendary
University of Alabama football coach Paul "Bear" Bryant was
still alive at the time. When the guys came back out for encores,
Stephen was wearing an Alabama football jersey and cap. When they
started into an electric version of
"Unfortunately I do not have a Stephen Stills story to
share to help in celebrating his birthday. I would, however, like to say that I have never been so moved
by a performance as I was when I first saw him perform at Woodstock. No, I wasn't there...it was
just a few years before my existence was even thought about....but I was able to *accidentally*
see the CSN segment from the Woodstock documentary/movie. I have been taken in by
musicians in the past, and have become mesmerized by their musical talents. But watching Stephen sing
Suite: Judy Blue Eyes (the first time I ever really heard the song in it's entirety) made my heart stop.
He was amazing. There are just no words to describe the emotions that I felt. I will admit that it was his
voice that hooked me in the beginning, but as I continue to learn more about him as a musician, I
have come to appreciate all of his contributions to music....including his guitar playing (something of
which I *still* know little about, but I am trying to
Birthday Stephen. Thanks for the Music, Long May it Continue."
"saw you in Memphis in '74; Nashville in'99 ,and several times in b'ham over the years .id like to thank you for your tremendous contribution to popular music.in particular, sjbe's which i consider to be the best pop song ever,and johnnie's garden,which was a favorite of my late wife.she pressed the sheet music into a picture frame along with many 4-leaf clovers.i still have it after 25 years and it is beautiful as ever i wish you much happiness in the future."
t b.
birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear stephen,
Liz from Tahoe
Birthday, Stephen!
Stephen and Happy Birthday. I hope your life is filled with the
"I'd like to wish a Happy Birthday to Stephen Stills, the master of interesting guitar tones! Stephen, your playing is extremely expressive and inspiring and I hope you'll play near Binghamton, NY so I can hear you live someday. Happy Birthday and best wishes from me and my family!"

Lyst launches Specialist Intelligence Unit to keep trainer lovers ahead of the pack
Jan 28, 2019 | By Nigel Taylor
Jul 06, 2012
Miu Miu may be an Italian brand, but even they can't escape the growing Olympic mania that's taking hold in London, the site of the 2012 summer games. On July 27th, which just so happens to be the date of the Opening Ceremonies, Miu Miu will release a small capsule collection of footwear and accessories in the summer's three hottest metals: gold, silver and bronze!
The collection includes three different styles of shoe to choose from: an oxford flat with Miu Miu's well known rhinestone heel, a strappy flat sandal with nappa silk bow, and tall platform sandals with a slightly flared retro heel. Each style is available in either gold or silver, there's no word on whether or not bronze styles will be included, yet.
Sadly, the collection will only be released at select Miu Miu stores in London, but for those of you lucky enough to get your hands on a pair, it might be the next best thing to getting an actual medal.

Catholic Professor Attacked
The perpetrators were eight Islamic extremists who used an axe, knives, and a petrol bomb. The Professor lost his lower right arm below the elbow. While Professor T. J. Joseph is recovering in intensive care, his family has chosen to forgive his attackers. (h/t: The Anchoress)

It is so sad to read this sort of thing. I don't understand it and the Muslim's concept of "God". I happened across a piece on Abba's Girl (Catholic blog) about a similar incident but on a video. Check it out. Keep Blogging and God Bless your dear Nana at 98!

A good walking tour of Hollywood, though I wish we could have seen a bit more of the Chinese theatre. That was really minor though. Totally recommended.
Really had no expectations but WOW was I surprised. Pip did a great job and we really felt like we were back when Hollywood started. Just the right amount time for a walk. Thanks
This was a nice tour for a good price. Yes, Hollywood Blvd. is a little seedy, but it is also the home of much cinema history and the home of the Academy Awards. Only with a tour would you really appreciate what the different sites along H-B represent. We thought this tour did a good job of highlighting the good, the bad, and the ugly of the move industry. We suggest parking a block or two away from the Blvd and doing a parking meeting. We paid for lot parking 15 and then realized that there was probably no reason to do that.
The tour was both very informative and fun. Hour flew by!!
Great tour with many trivia facts. Our tour guide was excellent and the head sets worked perfectly.
This tour was amazing!
Michael was a fantastic tour guide, and we loved every minute!
This tour was great!! Excellent view of Hollywood Homes. However, they vendor needs to post better signs of site location..It was a hassle to find among the chaotic hollywoodslightly comparable to NYC time square. As a result I was a lost and late. But overall had a geat time
This tour didnt cover much grond, but the guide told some fun facts and about the history of hollywood. It was also nice that you got to go inside the Egyptian Theatre.
The tour was very informative and went longer than 1 hour. I'd suggest doing the earliest tour when the street crowds are thinner.

The first time I heard Jonah Matranga was on his split with Sense Field. The song was brooding yet beautiful, dark yet not that desperate. My curiousity was piqued, and so I visited his *awesome* website, onelinedrawing.com, and found some most-wonderful samples. I picked up some of his self-released EP's and was continually blown away. When he released his new band project, New End Original, I was again astonished by how GOOD it was. Not at all like Onelinedrawing, yet sounding like a direct flow from the same fountain, New End Original was easily one of the best rock records of last year. He recently released his debut full-length album, Visitor, on Jade Tree. I managed to hook up with him before he set out on tour earlier this week, to get his thoughts on music, the internet, and fame.
How's it going?
Pretty well. I'm in a bit of a bad mood, for all ridiculous reasons. I'm getting ready to go out on a bunch of little tours, and attempting to not go into it being sick. In general, I'm well.
With New End Original being an anagram for onelinedrawing, are you suggesting that the two are directly related, ie "14 or 41" being a revamped version of an older Onelinedrawing song?
Not really that thought out, band names are just a pain. I always wanted to try 14-41 with a full band thing. I thought it would happen on a onelinedrawing record, but the New End thing happened, so there you go.
What is it about touring that you like? Do you prefer playing live or working in the studio, and with New End Original being a red-hot live rock band, do you see yourself developing OLD a more studio-oriented project, while letting New End Original be your live, in-concert project?
Definitely not. Maybe the other way around. While it is fun to be loud and all, my favorite shows lately have been in strange, very un-rock places, like houses and restaurants and things. Right at this moment, I'm pretty much feeling like not playing in a rock club ever
again. But then, I did say I was in a bad mood. For all I know, it could end up exactly the way you said, and that could be fun too.
Since the formation of New End Original, when you sit down to write a song, do you think, "this is a OLD song, or this is a NEO song?"
Haven't really written anything complete since New End started. The past few years have just been trying to get out the stuff that needed getting out. I never really write with the intention to make a song, much less a song for a specific entity. I just try to listen.
Was your experience with Far a good one, or was it one that prompted you to avoid the full-band set-up until New End Original?
Both. And New End continues to be everything great and horrible about the rock band thing.
You've got a much bigger, hands-on operation with your website and making your own CD's. If you've done so well on your own, what was it that prompted you to release your debut album on Jade Tree?
The relationship with Jade Tree started with New End, and we just got talking about them doing the onelinedrawing records too. I don't mind help, I actually really like it. There are a lot of things that I do for the site, mailorders, etc. that would drive me nuts if they weren't directly involved with the music. Sometimes they do anyway. Funny, though, writing this, I realize that I really like being as directly connected to the business part of all this. Sometime I think that's the way it'll end up in the end. But I like Tim&Darren, and they seem to like me, and they do a really good job of getting records out without being slimy in an increasingly slimy scene.
On your website, you sell a ton of records you've created and released yourself, and are rather successful in that regard. I'm curious to know, does success online translate into a more general, non-internet success?
Good question. It could, in the same sense that word-of-mouth used to, and still does, work. People tell their friends, people follow links from another band's site that they like, etc. One strange thing is that online success seems more about just a few people in lots of different places having a connection with something you've made, as opposed to depending on a town or a scene to embrace you. I've never been very interested in that sort of thing anyway, and I don't think I fit in anyone scene, none of my music ever has, it seems. I just like the idea that people can like what you do, and tell you about
it, and support it, regardless of where they are.
Has your success online and on your own prompted any friendly visits from major labels?
There was some a couple years ago, but none lately. I think I'm pretty done with them, and them with me.
Singer-songwriter. Is this a pejorative term, or is it simply misunderstood, and how do you feel about it being applied to onelinedrawing?
It's one of the few literal genre titles (i.e. not emo, grunge, etc.), so that's good. There are caricatures that go along with it, which I suppose is to be expected. I'm more interested in titles like artist, musician, or person. Person is especially good. Seems like the more we categorize, whether on musical terms or any other set of terms, the more we dehumanize.
What advice do you have for young musicians?
Make sure you love the music part, cos the rest is as annoying as I would imagine any other business is.
What's next for Jonah Matranga?
Continuing the slow move off the grid. An RV near a beach with a wireless high speed connection, and a network of houses to play. Or something completely different. I try not to have too many plans. I still love music, I still want to help, I still want to be around
friends and family. if I stick to those, I should be okay.
The new Star Wars. What's your opinion? Thumbs up? Thumbs down?
Up. With a big blockbuster grain of salt.
Thanks, Jonah!
--Joseph Kyle

Marketing works best when great leadership, strong systems and processes and healthy cash flow support it. Every now and again a new client requests marketing, and we very quickly identify that the issue is not in marketing, but in one of the other three areas. The following outline shows signs of success in each area, and may help identify challenges to overcome in each area:
Signs of Leadership Success
- The dentist and team are clear about the vision for the practice and regularly articulate it in an inspiring way.
- The practice has set and often discusses a quantifiable goal based upon actual numbers. For example, the goal is to see 35 new patients per month, and the practice is now seeing 20 new patients per month.
- Every team member has become a leader, working together to develop ideas, processes and systems for reaching the practice goal.
Challenges with leadership may make the marketing less effective. Only when we get the whole team on the same page do we experience true marketing success.
The best professional to help with challenges in the area of leadership is a practice coach, not to be confused with a practice management consultant. The coach focuses on improving people while the consultant works on improving systems.
Signs of Systems/Processes Success
- Internal systems and processes are strong, and allow the practice to focus on care.
- Trusted individuals who are not the dentist seamlessly execute the functions like equipment updates and maintenance, supply orders, lab orders, marketing, accounting, bookkeeping, billing, payroll, janitorial and recruiting.
- Day-to-day operations feel smooth and easy, never arduous.
When systems and processes are insufficient, the effectiveness of the marketing suffers. For example, a robust marketing strategy might attract new patients to the practice. When a new patient calls in, the phones must work properly, the intake process must be seamless, the billing process buttoned up, and the follow-up process dialed, etc.
The best professional to help with challenges in this area is a specialist in the given system or process; for example, one company to handle accounting, bookkeeping, billing, payroll and recruiting.
Signs of Cash Flow Success
- The dentist has a clear view on the money that will come in and go out of the practice in the next few weeks and months, or the practice's financial forecast.
- The practice is able to hire staff, purchase equipment, invest in marketing and otherwise expand with confidence.
Cash flow is the fuel that propels the marketing machine. When cash flow is weak, it seems impossible to invest regularly in marketing that will maintain steady patient flow and strong production. When cash flow is strong and marketing becomes a standard monthly investment, marketing efforts are consistent and results are, too.
If this is an area of challenge then a cash flow consultant can provide accurate projections to get the practice back on track.
Signs of Marketing Success
- The practice regularly invests in marketing and realizes a healthy return on investment from overall marketing efforts.
- Someone besides the dentist, a true marketing expert, is at the helm in executing all marketing efforts.
- The dentist has access to reports that demonstrate what marketing tactics are deployed, how they are performing individually and how they are performing collectively.
Marketing is the oxygen to the practice, keeping it alive and well with a steady flow of new patients and compelling branding that keeps existing patients loyal. When marketing is weak, the practice sees erratic production month over month.
If this is an area of challenge, a reputable dental marketing agency can offer a strategy to correct course.

A £1 million scheme is being carried out which allows a city primary school to expand by another 210 places.
Works will begin in April in Celta Road, Woodston, to reduce congestion and allow for two-way traffic, while the car park at Belsize Community Centre will also be expanded.
The two month scheme will improve the infrastructure so Peterborough City Council can expand Woodston Primary School by another form of entry, taking it up to 630 pupils by September 2019.
Further works include adding more lighting in the car park to help prevent anti-social behaviour. The council said cars parked on Celta Road cause congestion and stop the two way flow of traffic.
Works will mostly be completed during off-peak hours and will begin at the community centre car park and footpaths, followed by the widening of the carriageway and construction of sheltered parking which will require the use of two-way traffic lights.
A council spokesman added: "To complete the project, the road will be re-surfaced during off-peak hours and the road will be closed during these times, although residents will still be able to gain access to their properties."
Residents will be written to with more details nearer the time and alternative routes to businesses will be publicised.

I could have stayed in bed and continued dreaming, however for Day 15 of Thirty Days 2008 I headed to Rocky Mountain National Park and the Bear Lake area. After photographing around Bear Lake at sunrise I hike a little over a mile to Dream Lake. As usual there was a stuff wind, and once I got to Dream Lake it just started to howl. I didn't spend much time around the lake, as this was also a scouting mission for future trips towards Dream Lake later this winter.
On this scouting trip I realized towards the end of the hike I probably should have had some snowshoes with me, but it wasn't too bad. Also with my many layers I was good and know what is needed along the hike.
Stop by tomorrow for Day 16 of Thirty Days 2008.

The word as tiny as it is, can attract dangers as large.. It is said anger can lead to heart-ailments to the person who is short tempered, apart from the harm it can bring to others! Anger can be triggered by stress, lack of proper sleep and diet and water intake..
Help yourself reduce dangers by the following practices:
Calm your mind and body by practicing some breathing techniques and relaxation exercises
Sleep at least 6-8 hours a day to avoid irritation to get to you.
Eat well at regular intervals help to keep energy levels in check
Reduce stress levels by putting into use a problem solving technique such as a goal setting and time managing plan.
Don't overwork or take a break during work to rejuvenate
Indulge in a hobby you like
Be assertive instead of aggressive
Avoid mixing work with personal life
Seek counseling if necessary

Our last YA science fiction giveaway was so popular, we decided to do another one! Here's your chance to win 3 cool new 2012 young adult titles with dystopian or post-apocalyptic themes. One lucky winner will receive all three books below, which includes two ARCs and one finished copy.
Beta by Rachel Cohn
Here's what caught my attention about this book: the publishing rep told me it started out with a older woman browsing in a boutique. But what's she's buying is not a dress or a handbag, but a teenage girl–a clone. I got chills hearing that! Release Date: October 16, 2012
The Forsaken by Lissa M. Stasse
This is the first book in a dystopian trilogy. The cover is so awesome–I love how non-traditional it is for its genre! The story sounds a little bit like a Battle Royale-type scenario, since a 16-year-old girl with violent tendencies must try to escape a remote island.
Release Date: July 10, 2012
Monument 14 by Emmy Laybourne
I've always liked the "people stuck in a supermarket" type scenario; it seems like the place to hang out (well, other than the mall) if the end of the world comes. This one is packed with plenty of action, a little romance, and a lot of snarky—and a few dead–teenagers.
Release Date: June 5, 2012
Enter to Win
As usual, this contest is open internationally to ages 13 and up. Just fill out the Rafflecopter form and leave us a comment for your chance to win!
Our thanks to our friends at Disney-Hyperion, Simon & Schuster Kids, and Macmillan Teen for providing the prizes.
Winner Announcement!
The winner of the Amelia Anne is Dead and Gone contest is Jaime Lester! And the winner of Necromancing the Stone is Desiree Thompson! Congratulations, ladies.
Stay tuned, because there are lots more giveaways in the weeks to come.

WordPress is actually one amongst the tools to make a website a lot of use on the web. During this article, we are going to discuss the essential customization possibility that implements WordPress themes by default. At this stage, You'll have wordpress installed with anyone of desired hosting companies.
Next, log in to your admin panel "http://yoursite.com/wp-admin" with your username and password that you chose during earlier set up. The login page will look like below:
Once you're inside WordPress you can start to customize your blog. We'll walk through everything you need to do to get your blog ready and your first post published today.
The WordPress Dashboard is the very first screen which will been after you log into your blog. It is the collection of various gadgets. You can customize your needs using quick links here.
This is the media library for your images and videos. Also it is used to set the length and width of the images.
This is used to link your posts. And you can skip it for now as many blog don't use it at all.
Here only you will add new post or edit old post and publish them. Posts are also known as articles.
Here you can add new page or edit existing page and publish it. Pages are static content and often do not change its displayed information.
Adding comments allows your visitors to have a discussion with you. And comments are approved by admin before it is posted.
Here you can change the look of your blog and customize it as you wish.
Plugins are used to provide unique functionality to your blog and ease the process.
You can add new users to your website and assign roles to them.
You can find some additional tools to publish your posts here.
Blog's settings can be changed here.
Now you have got some ideas about the basic WordPress options. WordPress is ready for any type of user, from the most novices to the most advanced and advanced, but comes with a configuration. Set up a solid WordPress database, without the need for any computer knowledge, by following these steps.
Delete the default data
Before adding any entry or plugin to your blog, delete the test data that comes by default in any clean installation of WordPress. I am referring to the "Hello World" entry (in the "Entries" section), the example page (in the "Pages" section) and the "Hello Dolly" plugin (in the "Plugins" section).
General Setting
The general configuration must be well configured. Let's see what you should wear:
Write a title for your page: Limit to the name of your blog and leave the keywords for other sites, as this name is taken by many services, and if you put a stream of words, it will be fatal.
Write a description for your page: Here, write a short 155-character description of your blog.
Fixed time zone: You cannot imagine the number of WordPress installations that do not have correctly configured the time zone.
Fix a date and time format: Here you decide, but configure it.
Set the first day of the week: Although it will come by default on Monday, check it out for Sunday.
Change the language: The default language of WordPress is usually English, although in the latest updates this has changed (Check that it is in the language you are interested in).
Writing Setting
This section configures the WordPress writing options. Here you will be asked to choose the category that you want to be predetermined when you publish any entry (or when you forget to categorize an entry), a default entry format, the data to be published via email and the update services.
Reading Setting
This section, which of reading settings is more important than many people think. Here you can control what your data feed publishes (add "/ feed" to your domain "), which can be all in content or just a portion or summary. Choose the "Summary" option to prevent anyone from plagiarizing your content through your feed. In addition, there is a WordPress option with which you can indicate if you want the search engines to index your site or not.
On this last point, it is important that you know that the text "It depends on the search engines to attend this request or not" which adds WordPress below is to take it seriously. What I am going to do is that if you are going to make a new blog, it is best that you install a plugin that "closes" the entry to any user or search engine. To do this, if you already know how to install a plugin, try this one.
Comment setting
WordPress has a fairly powerful comment management system. Although there are other alternatives, at the moment, you leave comment moderation set correctly. It is about reaching a balance between ease and control. Make sure you have selected "Users must be registered and identified to comment", "Comment must be approved manually" and "Show avatars".
Media settings
In the media configuration section, there is not much to say. These images are the ones that will create WordPress automatically when you upload an image.
Configuring permanent links
If there is a WordPress setting that needs to be especially concerned with SEO, it is the "Permanent links" section. Select the "Post name" radio button and save the changes.
Next important thing in customizing wordpress is choosing theme. WordPress offers free themes by default, but I highly insist you to go with premium themes. Do you know why?.
Free WordPress Themes
These are some of the advantages of using free themes in WordPress:
The price can be quite economical and tempting; however, many users who have made these issues ensure that it is better to use premiums for the consecutive appearances that you have to go giving the items for free.
Easy Installation without leaving WordPress. They can be installed from WordPress (in the official repository there are more than 2,600 free themes).
Normally this type of subjects does not have any type of support, although now we will see that some yes.
These types of themes usually have very few options, if you want to personalize your web, with something more than to put your logo, surely you will have to look for a premium theme that lets you do these things.
For the past year, all the themes created for WordPress are responsive (they adapt to any type of screen resolution, such as mobile phones, tablets, etc.). On the contrary, most of the free themes for WordPress are usually quite old, which causes many of them do not adapt to mobile devices or tablets.
Premium Themes
You have an internet help: Premium templates are created by those that are solely dedicated to making and raising the templates WordPress offers in its Premium service. Therefore, if you transfer your topic you have got doubts or issues with it you'll contact the technical support and that they can assist you altogether your necessities.
The decision to transfer a free WordPress theme or payment is for convenience, it depends on the expertise you have got putting in and knowing the plugins and therefore the key codes for the page.
WordPress premium themes have much more options for personalizing your website or blog. In fact, this is the reason why premium themes started to exist. Web designers listened to the requirements or requirements of their clients and need solutions that they did not find in the free themes. You can get premium themes in following sites.
Genesis Theme:
With Genesis WordPress Theme you can build amazing websites in short span of time. Because its in-built features like multiple layouts, custom body post classes for each post, breadcrumbs, numeric navigation and tons of other cool features let the users to easily customize things as their wish and make a great website look.
In MyThemeShop you can find a wide variety of premium themes at different prices, some more accessible than others. These themes will fulfill all your needs and you can easily customize it as you wish. This site hourstodollars using one of the premium themes of MyThemeShop.
You can also have a look at premium themes in Theme Forest. Here you can find 30000+ wordpress themes and website templates starting from $2.

Hello my lovely Family and Friends! How are you all doing? I'm assuming good, cause you are all the best! No joke!
|So Many Hours Spent @This Desk!!
Wow, what a week! I will try to be concise!
We had the best Sunday devotional. It was a concert! Yes, that is right! The Nashville tribute band came and performed for us! It was sweeeet! They would bear testimony and tell stories and then jump right into a song. I got to sing back up for them (in the choir) on two songs. Listen to "John's Song" "Arising" and "I was born". You wont regret it!
This Sunday I also Got to play the cello for sacrament! Holy sweet that was awesome! Can't even tell you guys! I was super nervous but then I said a prayer and asked for help. And it went so flipping well. Probably one of my best performances, which is amazing considering I didn't practice very much. And the spirit was so strong!
|Sam & McKay Waters
Today I'm going to be packing for Argentina! AHHHH What? Is that even real life? I feel like I just barely got here. No joke time is the absolute weirdest thing in the MTC! I feel like I've lived my whole life here, and I just barely arrived! I can't even describe it. But I don't feel prepared to go into the field. But I know that I'm not going on my own! I have got Jesus Christ on my side! And that is all that matters!
A few things that I've really enjoyed this week. Ab work outs, missionary pull ups, and scripture study. Actually scripture study is way way better than the first two. It is awesome spending an hour getting to know my savior.
I love you all very much! I'm going to miss America, a little bit, Mainly excited to get out there!! It'll be the bomb! Have a great week! And get to know your savior!

What is Brain Spice?
Your brain loves learning!
My love affair with science and the mysteries of the universe began as a 7-year old. Remember the Curiosity Show, anyone? This wonderful 70's TV show was a melting pot of science experiments, fascinating toys, mathematical conundrums and mind-bending illusions. I owe much to show presenters Deane Hutton and Rob Morrison, because now that I consider it, Brain Spice was born right there and then. So, what is Brain Spice?
First and foremost, Brain Spice is an educational resources supplier. We have a wide and growing range of Australian Curriculum relevant products for teachers, parents and students. We aim to be the support that southwest WA teachers need, because quite frankly teacher people, you are awesome. I have only deepest respect for anyone who decides to take on this vastly important, incredibly challenging, and often thankless career.
However, we are an educational resources supplier with a difference: we love things that intrigue, challenge, fascinate, or mystify. Our hand-picked range of puzzles, gadgets, models, science kits, magic tricks, books and tabletop games has been assembled from across the planet. We aim to promote not just learning, but a hands-on exploration of our amazing world, as well as an appreciation of that incredible thing between our ears.
We are bombarded with information every day. The ability to discern good information from bad is more important than ever.
I believe that science is for everyone. Real science is a personal voyage, and one that demands clear thinking, self-honesty, and humility. Science separates fact from fiction, but it takes courage to question. Everyone can be, and really needs to be, something of a scientist in today's world.
Brain Spice opened in November 2014, and is the collaboration of three people:
- myself, Colin Scanlan (Owner / Manager, chemist of 25 years, amateur artist, electronics enthusiast, slightly tragic magic tricks collector),
- my wife, Christine Scanlan (Education Specialist, primary teacher of 25 years, passionate educator, paper and card hobbyist),
- our very dear friend, Shondelle Watts (Assistant Manager, chemist of 10 years, trainee teacher, talented if slightly OCD organiser and innovator, boardgame connoisseur).

Gynecomastia with other procedures
Gynecomastia with other procedures Before & After Pictures
Patient: 6
Age: 29
Location: Morris County, NJ (New Jersey)
Post-Op Gynecomastia with other procedures Photos: 3 Months
Corrective Plastic Surgery for Enlarged Male Breasts Before and After Photos of a 29 year-old male patient from Morris County, NJ who came to see accomplished author and world authority on Gynecomastia (over-developed male breasts), Dr. Mordcai Blau. This man had Gynecomastia, a small amount of belly fat, and some excess soft tissue in his chest, armpit and side areas. Before seeking corrective plastic surgery for his enlarged male breasts, this patient from Morris County, NJ felt self-conscious about removing his shirt in front of family and friends. The post operation photographs were taken at 3 months. Like 99% of Dr. Blau's Gynecomastia patients - based on an internal survey of 1000 patients - this man is happy with his results (a much higher satisfaction rate than most other plastic surgeons).

By BBN Staff: The Government of Belize has embarked on an initiative that will benefit the men, women and children of Sarteneja.
According to a press release, over 2,000 villagers from Sarteneja stand to benefit from their very own community health care center.
According to the statement, this center will provide, "easier access to quality health care, preventive and curative services; emergency deliveries, and epidemiological surveillance.

Nearer Than Before lyrics
Jim Cowan
|Support this site by buying Jim Cowan CD's
Thanks to Chris Tang for requesting these lyrics.
|Lord, take the blindness from my eyes,
All my arrogance and pride,
Fill my vision with your light.
Lord, take the deafness from my ears;
When I'm dull and slow to hear,
Help me recognize your voice.
Lord, draw me nearer than before;
Everyday I long for more of you
To know and see your face.
Lord, draw me deeper into prayer;
Everyday I want to meet you there.
Just to spend my life with you.
Lord, take the darkness from my mind;
When confusion makes me blind,
Come renew me with your truth.
Lord, take the hardness from my heart.
Roll away the stony part;
Fill me with a love that's true
Lord, take the blindness from my eyes.
Take the deafness from my ears,
Take the darkness from my mind,
Take the hardness from my heart.

Hippo cares for children with many different diagnoses. Patients come for assessments, to be seen by a consultant for diagnosis, and to receive treatments or expertise.
There are 18 Consultation rooms, including:
- A play area
- A breastfeeding room
- A gym and toilet facilities

GOSH has, since 2009, allowed children to bring their own slings to hospital with them, providing that extra level of comfort. However, before our nurses are able to use your child's sling to hoist, several safety checks will be made. The assessment should be recorded in the notes either next to the child's weight or on the Outpatients assessment form.
Hippo outpatients is primarily run by our experienced clinic staff comprising clinic assistants with a senior clinic assistant acting as team leader. Staff are supported by the nursing team, consultants, clinical nurse specialists, physiotherapists, play specialists, psychologists, dietitians and floor manager.

• Sophie Wills – Ward Sister ext. 1754

I will be using the MacBook mainly for browsing the Internet, a bit of word processing, a bit of video editing (probably with iMovie). Also, I'm using the AirPort with AirTunes in my room to extend my wireless network (currently using a Netgear WGR614 v4), allow me to stream to the Creature IIs using AirTunes, and allow me to print wirelessly to the Canon PIXMA (I'm currently checking compatibility in the Peripherals forum). The AP Express Base Station can tie in to my existing wireless network, right? Also, will I be able to share files and printers within the wireless network?

"The New York State Society of Anesthesiologists (NYSSA) needed a recognized and respected independent third party to analyze the survey data and provide the organization with truly independent written feedback. Adding to our challenge was a very stringent turnaround deadline. The NYSSA leadership hired Mr. Cameron Brown to assist the organization by developing a rebuttal position paper and accompanying brief ... Mr. Brown did a thorough job of research and analysis of the facts. He expedited completion of the project and provided the NYSSA with a clear, concise and independent rebuttal. His outstanding position paper and summary are powerful in their message and will serve the NYSSA for years to come. Thus far the feedback we have received from the NYSSA leaders, members and the legislators has been extremely positive."—Stuart A. Hayman, M.S., Executive Director, New York State Society of Anesthesiologists
"Cameron S. Brown, Consulting Services was commissioned by the Michigan Society of Anesthesiologists (MSA) to analyze the cost implications of removing physician supervision in the administration of anesthesia. With clarity, Mr. Brown provided the MSA with a concise, highly specific, cogent treatise on the Economic Impact of Michigan Senate Bill 180. Besides information provided by the MSA, Cameron utilized available resources from national medical organizations, interviews with other state component societies, and research documents from a variety of sources. He quickly became very knowledgeable about the political and economic forces in play, and he delivered a well-written, easy-to-follow document. Mr. Brown possesses a marvelous writing style. He combines technical awareness along with a communication skill set which relates exceptionally well with the business community, policymakers and the general public." —Kenneth Elmassian, D.O., President, Michigan State Medical Society; Director, American Society of Anesthesiologists; Past President, Michigan Society of Anesthesiologists
"In 2014, Mr. Brown was again commissioned by the MSA to update the original report with added information subsequently available during the intervening year. The expanded paper is a strategic advocacy tool ... Its organization, attractive formatting, and an accompanying summary of talking points derived from the complete study make the product easy to use."—Frederick W. Campbell, M.D., President, Michigan Society of Anesthesiologists
"We at Land & Company engaged Cameron S. Brown to investigate, review and write an executive summary for the Grand River Waterway Project. I have shared this with municipal, local and state leaders and his thorough review and analysis gave the project instant credibility. We want to thank Cameron for his outstanding work and effort on this project." —Dan Hibma, Owner, Land & Company

Housebuilder Bellway has signed a three-year deal with Heylo Housing, a private affordable housing provider backed by local authority pension fund investment, to deliver more than 1000 affordable shared ownership homes for Section 106 obligations. The deal is based on Heylo's Home Reach shared ownership model, which allows developers to build and sell new shared ownership homes and simultaneously sell the landlord's position to Heylo.
Heylo is a joint venture between the Lancashire County Pension Fund, an investment manager and a team of affordable housing specialists. It has acquired more than 500 homes in 25 local authorities since it launched in September 2014, including a portfolio of homes developed by Bellway's affordable housing subsidiary, Bellway Housing Trust. It expects this to be the first in a series of contracts with national and regional housebuilders.
Heylo chief executive Nicholas McAlpine-Lee said, "Home Reach provides Bellway with full control over construction, specification, delivery and sales of shared ownership affordable housing properties with the contractual certainty of satisfaction of Section 106 obligations by an approved alternative affordable housing provider unaffected by the recent changes to the housing association sector model."

A weekly planner is such a great idea, I really need to get something similar. I had been trying to keep things electronically, but I always miss the act of physically writing things down on paper! x
I'm not one for being organised. At all. I can't even begin to tell you about the things I have forgotten about, to do, etc because, let's face it, my memory is………..well it's not what it used to be! Don't get me wrong I can tell you the most random things from years ago, regale Olivia with stories of what she was like as a baby, yet ask me to tell you something tomorrow, you've got no chance! What?…….You told me yesterday?………..Sorry, not a clue my friend!
Having taken the choice to go self hosted on the blog, lately I have been trying to put more effort into it and slowly my hard work is paying off, yet I am still losing track of things. Idea's for posts, dates to post things by, when I have linked up to linkys (Don't know about linkys? Look for the badges on my posts to take you to some fabulous bloggers who in turn will point you in the direction of other fabulous bloggers see #KCACOLS or #readwithme on these posts for a couple of examples.)
Squeezing blogging in around work means something else is squeezed out of my teeny tiny memory part of the brain, funny how it never forgets to remind me of my chocolate habit isn't it! So it was time to sort it out. Now you know I am rubbish at this techy stuff. I have no idea about spreadsheets or using word/office/something else technical I have no idea about to help me organise and remember stuff. I will learn, I'm sure I will at some point I think, but right now…………..right now what I need it a a good old pen and paper and to write it all down. Preferably in some sort of order that makes some sort of sense, unlike this is right now.
I was always rubbish at filling in diaries and stuff, but now I carry round my big mum handbag I figured it would always be on me and as soon as something pops into my head I can write it down before it disappears forever! Oh, note to self, I so need a journal for next to my bed for those pesky, yet brilliant, night time ideas that are gone before I wake up. So……….I bought my very first weekly planner. A cheap, but amazingly simple one that even I can figure out.
Even I can figure this out can't I! Simples. And an absolute bargain for only 69p! Should keep me semi organised for now and I will be putting one on my xmas list, maybe Olivia could get me one instead of the usual handbag she likes to buy me as much as I love bags.
What do you use to keep yourself organised? Are you a paper fan or is your life stored online or you a spreadsheet fan? I would love to know what you recommend, leave me comment and let me know 🙂

The Cross of Christ by John R.W. Stott was published by Intervarsity Press in October 2006 and is our 3388th best seller. The ISBN for The Cross of Christ is 9781844741557.
A 2014 reprint of the 2006 Centenary edition of John Stott's amazing work on the Cross of Christ first printed in 1986, with the study guide that was later produced in 1989 included in it.
This is a weighty book indded as one would expect of such an important subject, but it is written in Stott's normal style and is therefore very readable , and yet with no lack of depth and insight to it for all it's approachableness.
Within the span of the 400+ pages Stott provides a clear explanation of the biblical and historical basis of most of the doctrine surrounding the crucifixion of Christ, however it is not just dry facts, there are here interesting and challenging questions that encourage us to think more about that which we sometimes simply just take as a given.
A modern classic to be sure and worthy of this reprint.

Study guide by David Stone
"I well remember the excitement of reading The Cross of Christ when it was first published. It expanded my mind and warmed my heart like nothing I had read before or have read since, apart from the Bible." - Vaughan Roberts
"John Stott brings together the capacity to inspire a devotion of mind and heart to the Lord Jesus Christ. I hope that this book will be a continual reminder of the centrality of the cross for human life and hope." - Peter Jensen
"Thorough, thoughtful and timely. As I read The Cross of Christ my mind was challenged, my heart was warmed, my faith was strengthened, and my focus was sharpened on the cross."- Anne Graham Lotz
"This book is a timeless classic deservedly republished for a new generation of readers - it is an illuminating theological gem." - J. John
"In the twenty years since its publication, John Stott's The Cross of Christ has established itself as the most respected and authoritative evangelical writing on this most important of subjects. It remains the standard work on its great themes, inspiring, challenging, encouraging and informing its many readers.
This, then, is a book that will amply repay study. Its continuing impact and relevance after the passage of twenty years since its publication suggest that this book has all the makings of a classic – a work written in and for one generation, which its successors continue to find important and illuminating." - Alister McGrath

VMware's revenue grew 11 percent year-over-year to $1.98 billion during its fiscal 2018 third quarter. Non-GAAP net income for the quarter was $553 million, or $1.34 per share, up 17 percent compared to $485 million, or $1.14 per share, for same quarter last year.
"Our strategy to transition from a compute virtualization company to providing a broad portfolio of products and services across cloud, mobile, networking, and security is proving successful," said Pat Gelsinger, CEO of VMware, during the company's earnings call Thursday, according to a Seeking Alpha transcript.
Gelsinger attributed "several points of the growth" to bookings with IT services provider DXC. He also said, "The DXC deal was critical as part of the Vodafone deal." VMware announced the win with Vodafone as a new network functions virtualization (NFV) customer during its second quarter fiscal 2018 earnings call.
VMware plans to close its acquisition of the software-defined wide-area networking (SD-WAN) vendor VeloCloud in its fiscal fourth quarter 2017. But, it's not going to reveal the price it's paying. It noted on its SEC Form 8-K, "As VMware does not acquire or dispose of businesses on a predictable cycle and the terms of each transaction can vary significantly and are unique to each transaction, VMware believes it is useful to exclude acquisition, disposition and other-related items when looking for a consistent basis for comparison across accounting periods."
On the earnings call, Gelsinger said, "Once the acquisition closes, VeloCloud will enable VMware to build on the success of its industry-leading network virtualization platform, VMware NSX. What VeloCloud offers is really NSX everywhere. It allows us to stretch it to the branch, into the WAN, and this is a powerful additional element of the market."
Gelsinger predicted that the "real crescendo" of overlay deployment specific services "will occur with the 5G build out, which we think is 2020, 2021, and that's going to continue to accelerate as we get to 5G really starting to occur."
He said the company now has more than 50 dedicated telco virtual applications. And over 350 million subscribers are running some service over a VMware-hosted NFV infrastructure.
Q3 Partnerships
The company called out several partnerships that it forged during the third quarter, including the availability of VMware cloud on AWS in the AWS U.S. West region. VMware just this week also announced the availability of VMware cloud on AWS in the U.S. East region.
"VMware cloud on AWS brings VMware software-defined data center to the AWS cloud allowing customers to run applications across operationally consistent VMware vSphere-based private, public, and hybrid cloud environments," Gelsinger said on yesterday's call.
He also called out two other new offerings: VMware AppDefense and Pivotal Container Service. The company announced the new security product AppDefense at its VMworld conference in August. It protects applications running on vSphere-based virtualized and cloud environments by monitoring them against their intended state.
VMware also announced Pivotal Container Service (PKS) at its VMworld event. It's the commercial version of the open source Project Kubo that will allow customers to deploy and manage Kubernetes on premises. VMware and Pivotal collaborated with Google to develop PKS.

Three aspiring young entrepreneurs spent 54 hours battling, building and planning their business ideas at Batelco's first 'Startup Weekend' and now their winning idea is already on the way to making the world a better place.
Their brainchild called Charitime is a social enterprise that encourages people to donate their time instead of money to charity.
The online initiative persuades individuals to use their skills and talents to get involved in voluntary work and raise funds for worthy causes. Each volunteer has the option of finding out exactly how their efforts are being put to good use.
Mastermind and CEO Yazin Al Irhayim is supported by fellow co-founders Ebrahim Al Mulla, the dedicated designer, and Khatoon Al Attar, the head of public relations and marketing. They have been joined by Taimoor Ali Dar, a business strategist.
Yazin, 25, from Riffa, said: "The idea came to me when I read a recent volunteering report online that revealed that helping unpaid in the US represented about five per cent of their annual gross domestic product (GDP), which is the market value of all officially recognised final goods and services produced within the country in a given period. This equates to almost $800 billion. That figure was mind-blowing! Imagine what that sum could do to the world!
"I sent a tweet out before Startup Weekend looking for a name for the idea. Ahmed Zainal replied and suggested Charitime, which is a combination of both charity and time! I booked the domain right away. Currently, we are four passionate people, determined to make the world a better place."
The team has come a long way since winning last year's challenge, steering the wheel to success earlier this year with a two-part pilot development, the wheelchair project.
Ebrahim's passion about helping the disabled led him to volunteer and raise funds by using his computer design skills to generate funds close to BD1,000. As a result Charitime was able to provide five wheelchairs for the Bahrain Association for Parents and Friends of the Disabled and five more for the Muharraq Welfare Society. Leftover funds were donated to an international charity.
Ebrahim, 26, from Muharraq, said: "I've always dreamed of being an active part of the community. I wanted to give back to a society that has embraced me by helping those who were not as fortunate."
Newcomer Khatoon originally fought the boys for glory in the final as part of another side but was so inspired she made up her mind to join the winning team.
Khatoon, 25, from Segaiya, said: "I'll never forget Charitime's final presentation, it was phenomenal! After that I couldn't stop talking about it. I am extremely passionate about what Charitime does. The team couldn't get rid of me. I like to think of it as a hostile takeover but they insist I was adopted into the team."
Charitime's main focus is currently on crafting the final touches of its beta website (still in development and only open to a limited number of people) based on feedback they received from the public. The site will soon be the hub for volunteering participants eager to be part of the social platform.
Taimoor, 27, from Riffa, said: "Our vision is to become the most recognised force in the world that tackles the difficult challenges faced by humanity. We aim to give everyone equal opportunity to contribute and make a difference … to be part of a new volunteering culture that takes over."
Yazin is currently in the process of launching another IT start-up company, print.bh and will return to the start-up event this year as a speaker and coach and will be joined by Khatoon and Ebrahim.
l Batelco's Startup Weekend 2012 is scheduled to take place from November 8-10 at the company's staff centre in Hamala. Applicants must be over 18. Registration is now open and costs $30 (BD11.300) for early birds. The limit the event can accommodate is 150 people so visit bahrain.startupweekend.org to book your place before 6pm on November 8.

Volunteer Appreciation on a Shoestring Budget
If you're planning your volunteer appreciation strategy, it may make sense to step back and consider — What really motivates us? How can that be integrated into how we reward and recognize volunteers? Does recognition really require a big budget and lots of bling, or are we missing the point entirely?
Read more below …
Free [e-Book] Volunteer Appreciation:
50 Ways to Show Your Love
We share 50 ideas for recognizing volunteers.
Out tips are organized around the following five research-based motivations and provide ideas related to each theme:
- Values – a way to express ones altruistic and humanitarian values.
- Career – a way to improve career prospects.
- Social – a way to develop and strengthen social ties.
- Understanding – a way to gain knowledge, skills, and abilities.
- Protective Motives – a way of protecting the ego from the difficulties of life.
- Enhancement – a way to help the ego grow and develop.
As a bonus, there's also a section on how to write a meaningful thank you note. Enjoy!
How Some Recognition Limits Potential
For author Daniel Pink, most businesses miss the point when they design their employee reward systems. In his TED talk "The Puzzle of Motivation" he explains what science has only recently discovered — contingent motivators don't work. When we attempt to inspire using a transactional approach — "if you do X, we'll give you X" — performance actually gets worse.
Unfortunately, extrinsic motivators are still what most of the world relies on to reward employees (through pay for performance, for example) — as well as volunteers (through gifts and awards).
"There's a mismatch between what science knows and what business does," explains Pink. Extrinsic rewards or incentives don't increase productivity or motivate, he argues, because they actually make us focus on a limited action and consequence and thus restrict possibility. This is especially true when it comes to jobs that require cognitive skills over merely mechanical ones.
Consider motivating the elusive "skilled," pro-bono, or leader volunteer. Is it possible, we limit their potential by the way we recognize them?
Science tells us that human motivations have changed over time. In today's world, there are four main things that experts believe motivate us in the workplace, regardless of age or generational affiliation – autonomy, mastery relatedness, and purpose. They can be translated to the volunteer environment as well.
Change is What Really Matters
During countless interviews and conversations with volunteers, we have heard similar themes expressed. Our supporters don't really need to see a plaque, trophy, or fancy dinner to feel appreciated. They want to see and experience the change in the world they work so hard to bring about.
Volunteers are driven to help organizations and communities, without pay, because they can bring about improvements in society and because they matter.
So, rather than using outdated ideas about what motivates people, why not what science has discovered to improve your volunteer appreciation practices?
