BBC1's coverage of the The Artist's triumph at the Bafta film awards averaged more than 5 million viewers on Sunday night, the best audience for the event since 2004.
The British Academy Film Awards averaged 5.3 million viewers and a 22.4% audience share over two hours from 9pm.
These were virtually the same figures as the show got on BBC1 last year, which was the Bafta film awards' best ratings since 2004.
The Baftas lost out to ITV1's Wild at Heart (8.30pm: 6.7 million/23.4) and Dancing on Ice: The Skate Off (6.2 million/23.3%).
Other 9pm competition included BBC2's Toughest Place to Be... a Train Driver (2.9 million/10.9%), Channel 4 documentary The Wedding Proposal 800,000/2.9%) and Channel 5 movie repeat Ghost Rider (1.7 million/7.2%).
Big delivery
BBC1's new Sunday night hit Call the Midwife continued to deliver, winning its slot comfortably with 8.5 million viewers and a 28.2% share from 8pm.
Competition came from ITV1's Dancing on Ice (6.30pm: 7.2 million/27%), BBC2's Top Gear (4.9 million/16.4%), Channel 4's The Hotel (1.3 million/4.2%) and Channel 5's movie repeat X2 (1.1 million/4.6%).
Is Being Human losing its bite?
BBC3's supernatural drama Being Human averaged 815,000 viewers and a 2.1% audience share from 9pm (including 159,000 and 0.6% from the BBC HD simulcast).
The second episode of the third series was almost 300,000 off the previous weekend's opening instalment and almost 50% down on the audience at the equivalent point in series two last year, which had 1.43 million and 5.4%.
Being Human was still BBC3's most-watched show of the day and may have taken a ratings hit from being up against BBC1's live Bafta coverage.
But the more worrying concern could be that viewers are switching off following the departure of two of the show's three original stars, Russell Tovey and Aiden Turner.
Cutting some rug
Sky1's Got to Dance live semi-final averaged 748,000 viewers and a 3.1% audience share from 6pm, the channel's best performing show of the day and the most popular non-sports programme in pay-TV homes on Sunday.
Sunday is a big night now for new episodes of Sky1 shows, with Got to Dance followed by Ashley Banjo's Secret Street Crew (7.30pm: 552,000/1.9%) and later in the evening Hawaii Five-0 (9pm: 423,000/1.6%) and NCIS: Los Angeles (10pm: 191,000/0.9%).
Secret Street Crew was the second-most watched non-sports programme in pay-TV homes on Sunday, with Hawaii-Five 0 at number four in that particular list.
BBC1's coverage of the 27-13 Wales victory over Scotland in the Six Nations rugby union international averaged 4.4 million viewers and a 27.2% audience share over two and a half hours from 2.30pm, comfortably the most-popular show on TV on Sunday afternoon.
Live match coverage averaged 4.9 million and a 29.6% share over two hours from 3pm.
All ratings are Barb overnight figures, including live, +1 (except for BBC and some other channels including Sky1) and same day timeshifted (recorded) viewing, but excluding on demand, or other – unless otherwise stated. Figures for BBC1, ITV1, Channel 4 and Channel 5 generally include ratings for their HD simulcast services, unless otherwise stated

Customers Love Highspot
Fluid. Elegant. Effective. These attributes matter most, and that's why our customers adopt Highspot—and fall in love with it.
- All Roles
- Sales
- Marketing
- Sales Enablement
- Executives
Highspot is amazing when sending content to prospects during the sales cycle. I can track and monitor what they look at and for how long enabling me to cater future messaging to what they are really interested in. I would definitely recommend this for any Sales Department.
An aesthetically pleasing interface that contributes to its intuitive features. That means I spent little time learning how to use it. Secondly, real-time notifications minimize my toggling between multiple screens throughout the day.
Using Highspot on a day to day basis has helps me reach and exceed my target goals, by keeping me organized and productive. It is so easy to build content into the system, access everything that I need from one place, send partners useful information or pitches in emails and see if the party who has received the email, has opened and viewed what was sent.
During one of our team trainings, we pulled up Highspot to learn more about our current customers and the story behind the sales process. The user experience of the layout was friendly, and it was super easy to look up everything we needed about our current customers.
Finally! A product that gives us one spot to store all of our content. The search field is very helpful and powerful. The pitch tool is also a great way to gain insight into what our customer care about when viewing whitepapers, proposals, etc.
We make sure that sales teams are aware of new features and functionality. One of the key parts of our job is to make them smart — and keep them smart … Highspot's analytics will help us align even better. That's the next step.
As our sales operations expands to support our rapid business growth, our content creation has exploded. Our organization remains dedicated to measuring success and using metrics to improve performance. Highspot has the best analytics for measuring performance in sales enablement, largely because of Content Genomics. And that has enabled us to measure what's being used, what's engaging customers and what's being modified in the field in order to drive better results.
Our sales teams master the importance of engaging in relevant conversations with the right people at the right time, and Highspot complements our solution to track B2B engagement and connect to stakeholders with the information they need quickly. Our Highspot strategy has identified the most impactful marketing strategies and resources while improving sales confidence and effectiveness with content already available to them.
One of my favorite aspects is its ability to integrate with Outlook. It makes it so easy to send clients emails with helpful guides and then it even lets us know when they are opened. The interface and search functionality is so easy to use. I also like how you can save content to your own individual folder and even upload your own content for your team.
My sales teams really like Highspot's pitching framework. That it's intuitive to use made training and adoption very easy, and the modern design is a great experience for our customers. The Pitch Dashboard gives my teams daily actionable insights into which prospects have opened pitches and which content they've viewed, providing a more informed and effective follow-up conversation.
Highspot brought an easy-to-use, in-the-moment functionality that we didn't have before, and it came in a much nicer-looking format. It's simple and streamlined, with robust search that drives the right behavior. In addition, the reporting helps us see the usage data we care so much about.
Highspot makes it so simple for me to find the content I am looking for without any frustration. I especially love the way the content is organized so that featured content gets prioritized and it recommends content based on my search history and people I follow. Highspot also allows me to bookmark content and essentially build a library of resources that help me in my day-to-day role.
Highspot has been critical in streamlining my follow up demo process while also keeping me on top of my hot Opps with notifications that they are looking, sharing, downloading the content I send them. This has been a game changer and truly does help you close more deals and prioritize your time. Also saves my inbox from large files.
We implemented Highspot over other sales content enablement tools for several differentiating factors – including its Salesforce integration. Our marketing, sales and account management teams are all pleased as it solved several key problems for us — and at the same time delighted our users!
Highspot provides reps with the sales content they need when they need it. No matter who I talk to, I know what I need to deliver, where to go to get it, and I can deliver content immediately. It's incredibly useful.
Our organization has so many places where information was being stored and organized that it made finding materials very timing consuming. After implementing Highspot, we have a single location where all our important collateral is housed and organized. It makes finding materials for sales calls 1,000% easier and improves productivity.
I really like using Highspot for the customized content I send out to prospects. It's great to be able to track whether they've opened/viewed the email I've sent (even if they claim they have). It allows me to stay on top of the prospects to make sure they're doing what they said they'd do.
Time efficiency is one of the biggest wins when working with Highspot. Sales does not need the marketing team to create customized presentations anymore, as everything is collected in the Highspot database. We have a plan in place of how often we need to optimize these assets, which ensures that sales always has access updated assets.
Highspot was a perfect fit for us. Rather than going to 15 different places to find the content needed in closing a deal, sales now has quick access to meaningful content via their desktop and mobile devices without needing to VPN to repositories behind our firewall.
Easy, intuitive design. Logical layout and easy search capability makes it easy for sales reps to find content. [There is] a single repository for all sales content – regardless of where it originated or was created. Sales always has the latest content.
After our switch to Highspot, we no longer have to worry about our sales staff accidentally using outdated sales materials. When we update a document, it is updated in every instance throughout Highspot (wherever it is bookmarked). Finding items via search or filtering is also a breeze.
Very easy to use, extremely intuitive. Highspot is an excellent way to leverage content. As a Sales Trainer, this is particularly important. Very modern interface, as well!
The immediate notifications and back-end analytics provided to sales when a pitch is opened, viewed or downloaded is a huge benefit to this tool. There is no better way to get a sales team to adopt a new tool than by having it provide immediate value to their efforts, and Highspot achieves that with the closed-loop feedback. And from the marketing side – it is a very intuitive system to set up, and easy to maintain.
We did a very thorough review of all the sales enablement platforms in the industry. We were impressed by Highspot's ease of use and scalability. We needed to transition out of our old platform, as it no longer supported our needs.
I like the interface – very user-friendly! I love the pitching feature the best – being able to share large files to customers without having to attach anything to an email is a big plus and makes professional interaction so much easier and stress free.
Highspot has helped us solve our content mess, showcase the right content to our reps, and provide analytics on usage. It also helped create a behavioral change in our reps, as now they engage more with prospects and customers through sharing content. This is reflected by the high adoption and engagement metrics we see on Highspot.
As a Sales rep, I use Highspot every day! A single stop for content management, customer engagement, and tracking has made me exponentially more productive and a better seller! Digging through the folder rabbit hole to hell that is SharePoint, or files on my desktop, to try and find the right datasheet or presentation drove me crazy. With Highspot I can find the right content in a matter of seconds through the Salesforce.com or Outlook!
As a Sales Executive, having quick and easy access to content is very useful. It not only helps me find information when preparing for a call with a client, it also provides documents I can pitch to potential customers. Highspot is a tool that I use more and more every day!
Highspot is a great tool that allows our sales team to share and send our marketing content in a much more effective manner, making sure we get the right material in our prospect's hands. I like being able to search a topic and quickly get the PDF I need to advance a sale.
We originally adopted Highspot for its strong sales content management and analytics capabilities. Sales reps love the ease of use and the real-time alerts they get on how prospects are engaging with their pitches. Sales leaders love that they have the analytics to identify best practices across the team.
The search function is really awesome. We have such a broad portfolio of clients and often get very specific requests. Now they can just jump in and search for what they need without involving anyone else.
As an administrator, I found it very quick and easy to get Highspot up and running, and integrated into Salesforce.com. The ability to filter and present targeted content based on Account, Opportunity, Opportunity Products, and Contact attributes is a great feature which we are very pleased with, and continue to find value with, as it creates time saving efficiency for our reps!
Highspot allows me to focus on my prospects and is extremely easy to navigate! I especially like the function that allows me to see when my prospects have looked at an email or resources that I have sent them, which allows me to determine which topics are useful and which are not.
At iRhythm, we see a correlation between Highspot usage and rep performance. Based on time savings alone, we are achieving more than 300% return on investment per year. Reps are now finding the content they need quickly, and marketers have gained insights into which assets drive revenue.
We're focusing more and more on the Buyer's Journey, but we had very little ability to target buyers with the most effective content at each stage of the sales cycle … The field teams love Highspot and they're so glad that we now have a centralized tool.
Finally! I have a place for my team to find the assets they need when they need them. As a manager, I love that I can see who is spending time reviewing sales enablement material as well as what collateral would be best to send based on engagement from prospects.
As a content producer, Highspot has made it much easier to make materials available to our sales team. They can easily search and filter, especially across multiple languages. They can also see when each item was last updated, giving them confidence that materials are up-to-date. The ability to feature content, get reviews in the platform, and pull analytics also gives me the signals I need to improve the content itself. Highspot has been a game-changer!
As a former sales rep, my goal in moving to sales productivity was to help lessen (and eradicate!) broken processes and gaps that I had faced as a seller. My first project was being tasked with the implementation and training of Highspot for our global team. I was shocked by how user-friendly the tool is — the user experience is great, very easy to navigate, and sellers can use it in a variety of ways to self-educate, browse, or pinpoint the exact piece of content that they need for their customers/prospects.
I cannot say enough good things about Highspot! Extremely easy to use and addictive! The ability to see who/when material is opened gives you a better understanding of where the potential client is at, besides your gut. In addition, the platform makes sharing materials and best practices among the sales team very efficient. To top it all off the team that works there is incredibly quick to respond to requests, which we all know is rare.
My favorite part about Highspot is the ability to connect with your email when you send out a pitch. It makes the sales process much more efficient when you can see who has opened your emails and actually spent some time looking at them. Previously, the only way to know how effective it was is if someone replied. But now you can see who actually looked at it and judge their interest based on that.
Highspot solved a big problem for PayScale. Our best content was not getting reliably to the sales team and we didn't have data on what content was driving engagement from opportunity to close. We're a data-driven organization, so we love Highspot's analytics for optimizing this part of our business. I love that I can see what content is moving the needle on sales.
Highspot has a beautiful, easy to use interface that's fast and quick to understand. The search is stellar, cataloging words on PDF, image recognition and video.
I never have to guess what my clients are looking at and what is working/what is not working. Highspot tells me in real time what is most relevant to send to my clients and how far along they are in the sales process. I know if someone is clicking through my links and how long they are viewing each piece of material. I don't think I could live without Highspot since it has become a crucial part of everyday sales for me.
Account Executive here. Highspot has made sharing follow-up content between my team SO much easier. No more having to hunt for materials in your desktop, or ask around the office to see if anyone has a competitor slide or a price sheet, it's all in one place. Saves me so much time!
I love that it is integrated into Salesforce.com so I don't need to jump between multiple systems. For my role as an Account Manager, it allows me to access all necessary marketing and training materials I need in minimal clicks.
I've utilized Highspot as both a Sales Rep and a Customer Success Manager and find it an invaluable way to track engagement for new business prospects AND current clients. The most valuable function to me is the ability to see what content is successful with our customers, in real time. Not only can I easily locate collateral to share–but I can also easily track whether or not that collateral is valuable to my clients.
I've been using Highspot for about a year now and I love it! We implemented it to bring organization and search to our assets and to make it a good experience for sales. Now we can find what we need when we need it … The search functionality is by far my favorite — it's like having Google within Salesforce.com. I would recommend to any company that needs a way to manage their sales assets. I couldn't do my job without Highspot!
I use Highspot on a daily basis to stay on top of which content is working and what's not. What I find most helpful is being able to track which pages/topics within a slide deck are receiving the most attention via Highspot's tracking – this way I can be uber prepared in my follow up calls. Simply an indispensable tool for any sales team.
Highspot not only helps with ensuring you're sending prospective customers engaging material, it also ensures you're not bogging down their inbox with large files. This is a must have in 21st century marketing!
Highspot is a quick and easy way for a Sales Development Rep to send content to a prospect and gives the ability to see if/and how long the content was viewed! It's been very helpful in terms of knowing which assets are getting the most views and knowing which potential prospects are engaging.
The product is great and if it's possible, the implementation service was even better. It does no good to buy a product and then spend 6 months rolling it out; that just doesn't fly anymore. Reps are loving the functionality and I love the ease of use, distributed curator workload and the fantastic metrics.
Amazing product! Not only am I able to gain a much better understanding of the interest level from my prospects (and thus, can manage my time more effectively by reaching out accordingly), but I can also see clearly which materials my co-workers have had success with. Now with a year of Highspot under my belt, I can't imagine not having this tool.
It's hard to name just one thing I like best about Highspot because it has made my job so much easier all around! I love that everything is in one place and material can be found and distributed quickly. The ability to gain analytics on materials to see what is being effective and used is a game-changer!
Before Highspot, our sellers could never find the content we produced, so even though they were excited when we first created it, they couldn't find it when they needed it and soon forgot about it. Now, they find the content and use it! Highspot informs us about the types of content we need and saves us from creating content that will just collect dust. I love Highspot!
Highspot has been a great resource for our sales team. Working with Enterprise clients, we often have long sales cycles, which include multiple decision makers, and requires specialized Business Cases/ collateral. Using generalized brochures, often doesn't cut it. Highspot makes it easy for my team to share content, and saves us hours!
Highspot enables me to not just keep track of my content, but discover and leverage what's working for my teammates as well. I can keep track of what my customers view and for how long. It's really helped me discover what resonates best with my customers. I can't imagine inside sales without it.
Highspot gives our Sales team access to the content they need, when they need it. The ability to see how a prospect interacts with pitched content not only saves them time, it gives them an idea of what's resonating with the prospect. The ability to say 'this sales asset performs better than the homegrown piece, let me show you the data,' is powerful.
Highspot helped our company go from having a mish-mash of content in multiple places, to now having all of our content in one easy streamlined space. It's also incredibly easy to get content from the platform, into the customer's hands.
When our company partnered with Highspot over a year ago, I was skeptical. I don't like having to adjust to new technologies more than I must because they take a long time to become proficient…usually. Highspot was not like that at all. Every page was self-explanatory, every button did what I expected, it was a blissful experience and continues to be. I rely on it daily and credit much of my job satisfaction to the headaches Highspot has saved me!
It's super easy to get collateral out to prospects fast and track their actions, which incredibly valuable. Also having the ability to customize decks efficiently definitely helps speed up my workflow.
We use Highspot every single day. It's the perfect place to store documents/marketing materials/pricing etc. We can track what's working and what is resonating with our audience. We can also focus our attention on those who are actively engaged in our content and follow up material.
One of the things that was really missing was helping the marketing team track the content ROI. We had so many tools that were all integrated that there were multiple drop-off points. And now with us, with Highspot, we'll be able to track that ROI of marketing content. The capabilities we're going to have in the upcoming quarters is going to be remarkable for us.
We've had great results with Highspot. Over 85% of our sellers are actively using the tool, which is a lot more than all of our previous alternate tools. From a marketing perspective, we understand now what content is working and what isn't.
The issue our sales people had is that they didn't know where to go for content and they didn't want to spend time going through 12 different places to find the right piece of content.
Having sales content for a large dealer base accessible immediately and freeing internal resources for more important projects. The search feature makes it super easy to find virtually anything in your content library.
Less is more. Having 6,000 assets isn't doing anybody any good. Really having content that sellers are using and engaging with — that was useful. That was really important. Highspot has been wonderful. The best aspect has been the customization. Highspot was always willing to work with us. They really tailored the solution to our exact needs, and continue to do so, even after we launched.

Living Space: How to beat household clutter
Clutter is a funny thing. Some things never accumulate, while others are akin to holding back the ocean. There are nine kinds of household "stuff" that seem to multiply more than others. Here's how to recognize these "clutter magnets" and clear them away.
1 Mail and paper: Mail stacks up fast. Buy a blue recycling trash can from an office supply store and place it where you bring in the mail, then sort everything right there. The minute bills arrive, place them in a basket or folder. Place magazines on the coffee table.
2 Electronic devices: If electronics aren't usable, recycle them. Retailers Best Buy and Staples will take electronics, though Staples won't accept TVs. Many Goodwill stores take electronics that work. If you're unsure where to recycle your e-waste, go to search.earth911.com to locate a recycler in your area.
3 Books: Though it seems criminal to throw a book away, both paperback and hard-bound books are recyclable. If it's a recent best-seller, a beautiful hardbound book, or a textbook or travel guide someone could really use, take it to your local donation center or a used book store.
4 Clothing: Comb through the closets and discard or give away everything that doesn't fit. (Don't save excess clothing for your weight fluctuations.) Toss anything that's stained or damaged and pitch clothing you don't like, even if it's new.
5 Bathroom products: From shampoo to hairspray, we often have products lying around that are new or perfectly usable that we don't like or use. Donate them to a local homeless shelter or shelter for abused children or women. If the items are used, discard.
6 Sporting equipment: From golf clubs to tennis rackets, camping gear to baseball gloves, our garages are packed with unused sporting goods. Donate items that still have some life left in them; or if fairly new, try to sell them.
7 Caps and hats: If you have men or boys in the family, chances are baseball caps are scattered all over the house. Try to limit these to four or five per person so the collection doesn't get out of control.
8 Craft items: If you're serious about a craft, your supplies can quickly consume gobs of space. Invest in organizers that help you see easily what you have. Once all the bits and pieces are organized, it's easier to find things and your work goes quicker. If you don't scrapbook, knit, design jewelry or make wooden toys anymore and know someone who does, give them all your materials.
9 Pantry: Put like with like to keep the space neat and organized. Separate cans of broth from cans of beans. Store all baking items together. Stash bottles on a lazy Susan and pour rice, noodles and dry beans into plastic containers. Add a basket to hold bags of chips and snack items.
When de-cluttering a room, take the floor paint approach. Start in one corner and then de-clutter your way out the door. When you make big progress in one area, it will motivate you to tackle others.

Rocketbook the Microwavable Notebook
Before we get going we all know that I do review products for compensation but this post here is all about the love I have for Rocketbook. This post contains no sponsorship, no money, no free notebooks but it does contain affiliate links.
I love gadgets and gizmos (just don't feed them after midnight, ha!) and I find myself ordering my fair share of them. There are seriously a lot of things around this house that I never, ever would have dreamed up on my own. I mean, a microwavable notebook? Some of these things make me feel safer, more productive, less wasteful and sometimes just plain happy. And they are all things I would buy again and recommend to friends and family.
And we're friends, right? I mean I don't know you and you don't know me technically but you come here to hang out with me sometimes. And I do the things I do to try and make you happy when you come and visit me. So, as a friend I've got to tell you about my new microwavable notebook because I think this thing is seriously flippin' awesome!
This is it… This is my Rocketbook Wave and if you can't tell by the hardly perfect cover, it's already gotten quite a bit of use. So much that it has already been microwaved 2 times. But wait, why would you want to microwave it? Because it erases everything inside of the pages and makes it an almost like new notebook to fill up once again. Boom! Is your mind blown? because mine totally was…
You can't use just any pen, though. You have to use pens, markers and highlighters from the Pilot Frixion series. All of the guys in this series are erasable. And just now you're realizing that there are erasable markers out there and your mind is blown for a second time, right?
I totally feel like I'm writing the script to an infomercial here but I really, really like my new notebook – ha!
Okay, so you write in this notebook and then you erase it and then everything is gone. Where's the value in that? For me I make a lot of lists. It's an OCD thing. I totally struggle with being obsessive. Lists have to be perfect and in a certain order and so I'll make, maybe 5-6 a day and I waste a TON of paper doing it and I feel badly. But as anyone with OCD will tell you, I just can't freaking help it. I can try to fight it but it's just easier to write out another dang list.
But there are things in my notebooks that I DO need to keep. I draw up plans for projects, write ideas for posts out when I'm away from my computer and stuff like that.
And that is where the Rocketbook app comes in handy. Open the app up and capture the writing or drawings in your notebook. Once you properly position the page within the phone's screen the page will turn green and your scan comes through.
Now at the bottom of each page are symbols… There is the Rocketbook logo, a diamond, apple, bell, you get the picture. In the app settings you set a destination for each of these symbols. The services you can send to include an email address, Google Drive, Box.com, Dropbox, Evernote and Slack, whatever in the heck that is. I checked the Rocketbook logo and the star which means that when the pages sync this drawing with measurements and plans will be emailed to me and will be waiting for my in my Google Drive whenever I need it.
Okay, so you have this notebook that you can erase the entire thing in one go but you can save the pages inside of the notebook to a whole bunch of different services so that you don't actually lose them. And now you don't have a stack of papers to dig through when you need to find the dimensions you worked out for your project.
When you're ready for the cleaning out the notebook business you place a mug 3/4 full of water on top of the notebook and within the set of circles. You microwave the notebook (the spiral is plastic so no worries on a fireworks show, y'all) until the Rocketbook logo disappears from the front of the book. I've got mine down pat and it's 1.5 minutes. You flip the book over and repeat and your ink is gone.
Now the pages are NOT perfectly clean. You can see faint lines and letters on the pages after they are "clean". They're easy enough to ignore and the scanner in the app doesn't pick up on them so it's no big deal in the end. I mean, at first I was a little bit disappointed that it didn't look like a brand new notebook but I realized that wasn't an entirely reasonable assumption. And it works just fine as is, faint marks on the pages and all.
Want to get your own microwave erasable notebook? Heads up,now they aren't exactly cheap but I've gotten 3 notebooks worth of uses out of mine and I'm still going strong.
Want to get some erasable markers, pens and highlighters (that really, truly erase?) <— Get them right on over there.
I'll be back with more reviews of super nifty stuff in the coming weeks, so keep your eyes peeled!

Xbox and Halo have officially turned 15 years old
Halo and Xbox have been synonymous with each other for a very good reason; the first Halo game was released with the original Xbox console in 2001. Halo: Combat Evolved became a launch title for the console after Microsoft purchased its developer, Bungie, shortly before the release in 2001.
November 15th 2001 marked the release date for the original Xbox console and Halo: Combat Evolved so to celebrate this birthday anniversary, the Xbox Marketing Director is took control of the Xbox Snapchat account. New series developer 343 Industries also hosted a livestream on Twitch to share this occasion with the loyal fans of Halo and Xbox.
It's not a particularly large celebration but it's certainly a reminded of just how young the Xbox brand is when compared to Nintendo or PlayStation consoles; despite the initial hardship the Xbox faced, it's become one of the biggest platforms in gaming and Halo is a household name for gamers.
Happy 15th Xbox and Halo!

Hi all,
I have been told by many that ETS mails those previous years question papers as booklets after you register for the test. It's been 1 week and I haven't received any notification or booklet for the Physics GRE yet.Sure, I could download those from their site as PDF and take the prints but that would be a waste of money and time considering I have to take all those 5 practice tests. It's that I need them in Physical form so that I can mark the questions and jot down any relevant details.
How did you guys manage to get it from ETS? Where can i get them?

These resources include not only our Evidence Library, but also reports, issue briefs, and commentaries on relevant topics, social and economic determinants screening tools, webinars and presentations that have been conducted in this field, and other resources that you can use for your own presentations and grant proposals.
Please let us know if there are other resources out there that you would like to make available on the SIREN website.


text: Since reports issued claimed that 90 percent of nursing homes were sited for at least one deficiency this past year, it is important for family members to choose the right nursing home. Surprisingly, for-profit nursing homes are getting more citations that government run homes. Across the US nursing homes house more than 1.5 million people and two-thirds of the residents are Medicaid or Medicare participants. The annual cost for the care is more than $75 billion. In order for nursing homes to receive funding from the government through Medicaid and Medicare, they must meet federal standards and are inspected at least once every 15 months. The care in nursing homes has fallen short for several years, drawing scrutiny from the public and the government. The report says the most common violations of nursing homes surveyed were improper storage and distribution of food, lack of services needed for patients' well being and accident hazards. With these alarming statistics it is important that individuals read the report released by the Department of Health and Human Services. If not a person puts the individual they love at risk of being mistreated or not cared for in the proper manner. To read the full story, click here.

Have you ever looked longingly up at the moon and marveled at its majestic majesty? The moon and its reflective properties bring feelings of comfort and awe to all who look upon its elegant lunar beauty…but looks can be deceiving.
As has been confirmed by fuzzy handheld video footage time and time again, the moon has unleashed a plague on humanity for decades. Whole herds of livestock and countless humans have fallen victim to the terrors known as werewolves. So feared and horrible are these creatures of myth that we make motion pictures that portray them as ruggedly handsome vampire killing heroes – just so the teenage girls of society can sleep at night.
Join the cause, send your support to NASA and help us rid the earth of the werewolf once and for all. The moon must be destroyed, only then can we find peace, security and be forever rid of the Twilight Saga.
This has been a Stewart Adams Project Public Service Announcement. To learn more information on NASA's attempt to blow up the moon, visit the internet.

Love and Atomic Bonding
Atomic Bonding #1 – Covalent Bonding
This is the type of bonding where two or more atoms are brought together by a sharing of their valence electrons. By filling in gaps in their atomic charges, each atom becomes more stable and therefore develops a strong link to the other. One atom's lack of electrons is balanced out by the other's abundance of them – the positive and negative charges find equilibrium and both atoms benefit from what could be termed a symbiotic relationship…if only atoms where actually alive. This is an example of a pure, efficient and working relationship. Both individuals are wholly intact and the strengths of each compliment the other to form an intimate oneness and a mutual benefit to both. Neither attempts to change the other, they are simply perfect for each other and were obviously created for that purpose.
Real life examples: …
Atomic Bonding #2 – Ionic Bonding
With Ionic bonding, atoms with strong charges bond with other atoms by gaining and losing their valence electrons. For example, atom #1 has 7 valance electrons and meets up with an atom that has only one. The first atom has a much stronger pull and so it takes the electron from atom #2. By doing this the first atom becomes negatively charged (since it just acquired a negatively charged particle) and consequently, the second becomes positively charged (since it just lost a negatively charged particle). The two opposite charges are then attracted to each other (see basic magnetism) and the bond is complete. In this case, individual A must first change something about individual B, before the attraction can be made. This is often a very painful process and can take years to perfect if two people are stubborn enough. In other cases, a person gladly gives up a part of themselves for the good of the relationship.
Real life examples: 97.45% of all romantic relationships.
Atomic Bonding #3 – Metallic Bonding
Metallic bonding is often referred to a sharing of free electrons in an electron sea. Basically some metals bond to other metals simply because they are there. Often metals are bonded by external means such as hammering and intense heat. This type of bonding occurs when two people are together and there is no one else around. This is why every time a man and woman are stranded on a deserted island together, they always fall in love even if they hate each other in the beginning. Pain and beatings (like fire and hammering) tend to speed this bond and the more persecution there is, the more in love the couple will fall.
Real life examples: Beauty and the Beast, Petruchio and Katherina , Rhett Butler and Scarlett O'hara, Shrek and Fiona, etc.
