Any tool in your social media quiver will be used for it's best and highest use. If a tool does not serve an immediate purpose, or if the tool fails to meet expectations for efficiency and effectiveness, it will be dropped. Twitter still has about an 80% drop rate after one month. Aside from Twitter being confusing, I have some ideas about what functions have been drained of all effectiveness, and what role Twitter has in the social marketing toolbox today.
It didn't happen gradually. But with the renewed interest in social media marketing, Twitter has taken a nosedive into the noise of spam/scam/porn/teethwhitening/buy-followers hucksterism. (Many people NEVER got Twitter. With the current state of affairs, MOST will never get it.) Let's look at how the CONVERSATION DIED on TWITTER.
HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE: When Twitter came of age at the 2007 SXSW I was attending with several cutting-edge friends who prompted my addition of Twitter to my phone. Then throughout the conference we could fire off updates like, "We're heading to EMO's for the Dead Kennedy's at midnight." Those were quite useful if you were trying to track and meet up with people during the social media love fest. I wasn't so interested in knowing where EVERYONE was at 2am. I was sleeping. So I quickly turned off my active alerts from Twitter and let my buddies tweet on into the evening. After a month on Twitter, I promptly forgot my login information and when I switched phones I never reconnected with Twitter. (I wish I could recall the name, so I could get that stat that says, Joined Twitter in 2007.)
TWITTER FOR BUSINESS: A year and a half later (2008) I was working inside Dell and I joined a team that was all about Twitter. (well, kinda) I joined Twitter again as @jmacofdell. At my first team meeting (it was one of Dell's famous re-orgs) I learned that my Twitter ID now meant I tweeted "on behalf of" Dell. And of course, that wouldn't work, so I changed my ID to @jmacofearth. And with that, I dug into Twitter in a big way.
Then as Twitter began to grow up, get major financial investment and new driving forces that demanded TWITTER TURN A PROFIT, things began to go south.
The systematic destruction of some of Twitter's greatest features started with something as simple as the RETWEET.
ReTweet THEN: ReTweeting on Twitter was an art. You added or subtracted information to boost the context of the tweet to your followers. For example, this original tweet, "Free Ben and Jerry's ice cream at all stores, today" could become "RT @benandjerrys Free Ben and Jerry's ice cream at all stores, today < #TWEETUP ON B&J 6th Street, 2PM"
ReTweet NOW: With one dumbass move, Twitter proper (Twitter.com) added the ReTweet button that does not give any options for ADDING or BOOSTING the Tweet. So now, as with a LIKE on Facebook, we have these mindless ReTweets that are simply boosted marketing messages rather than communications with friends. They killed the #TWEETUP at the same time with this misguided "Enhancement."
ReTweet FIX: You can still enhance your RTs by using a tool like Hootesuite or Tweetdeck, but it's not as intuitive. And MOST people using Twitter, on Twitter.com will never try a TOOL. Why would they? You need to understand how valuable Twitter can be before you go off trying out tools to help you use it better. SO the RT was effectively killed by Twitter and Co. adding the RT button to Twitter. DUH. (To fix it, they could change the behavior of the RT button, make it work like it used to, and open the EDIT TWEET window so you can ADD your communication to the TWEET before merely re-broadcasting it again.
TWITTER LISTS was next to fall.
Twitter Lists THEN: When they were added to Twitter, it was an honor to be included in someone's list. It seemed as if Twitter had found a way for individuals to give each other "authority" simply by including colleagues in lists with titles like "TRUST NETWORK." Soon, however, uber-spam marketers began using lists as spam fodder. Building lists and lists and lists on all kinds of topics simply to fake "activity" and "authority." But the real death knell for Twitter lists was a company called @formulists. While, I think their hearts were in the right place, their execution was PURE SPAM. [Here's my Open Letter to Twitter to Kill Formulists] And while they did eventually shut down their access to the Twitter API the damage to LISTS was done. No one even looks at them any more.
Twitter Lists FIX: Bring Lists back into prominence. Today the lists are buried on your own profile page. It takes work to find the "lists" of others, much less your own. Here's how Twitter could make LISTS count again.
Immediately the List would again be a form of validation. And an ADD would be a form of follow that meant something. Sure, it would ignite the Twitter numbers race again [we'll add you to 10,000 lists for $10] but legitimate Lists could again gain some traction as honest forms of discovery.
TWITTER DM was the final #fail. But perhaps the most important at killing Twitter as a conversation tool.
DM Then: Back in the day, before Auto-Responders and Auto-DM tools, the Twitter DM was like Instant Messaging for Twitter. Sure, you've already got a lot of IM technologies, and TXTing has become the king of the CONTACT THEM NOW tools, but Twitter DMs used to be pretty cool.
PROBLEM: You have people you follow on Twitter that you don't have connections to in any other network. Same for Facebook, LinkedIn, Google +. So, if you want to contact someone you only know through Twitter, you'd normally use the DM. Not any longer. Because the Auto-Bots and TrueTwits of the twitterverse have killed the value of the DM.
DM Now: IF I ever check my DM Inbox on Twitter today, it is simply to remove the little "alert" number Twitter has happily added, showing me how many USELESS DM's I have. [Here's my little DM DEATH Rant.] The basic problem is all of the messages in your Twitter Inbox are SPAM. All of them. Either they are folks Auto-Responding to your Follow with a "Hey thanks for following me… Now follow my Facebook page…" OR, and these may be worse, "DONTGETIT uses TrueTwit, please click on this SPAMMY LINK…"
UM, NO, NO, and NO THANK YOU.
The real problem is, I still have people who's primary connection to me is Twitter. And occasionally they contact, or try to, me through Twitter. I always provide them with my email and my cell phone if I want to chat with them. [Horrors, I'd prefer FACEBOOK to Twitter's DM.] But mostly I just MISS THE MESSAGE because I don't open Twitter's INBOX.
TWITTER DM Fix:
1. Kill TrueTwit validations. Just like you did Formulists.
2. Kill Auto-Responders and Auto-Followback options in Twitter.
3. Kill the AUTOBOTS. Companies that provide Auto-ADD, Auto-FOLLOW, Auto-RESPOND, Auto-anything should be severely limited in their access to the Twitter API. And MAKE THEM allow OPT-OUT from all future follows, DMs, or responses.
This post was inspired by a Facebook question about Twitter. [Ironic?]
The post started a very heated thread about the pros and cons of Twitter. And thus I complete the infinite loop by providing this blog circular reference back to David's Twitter account and his Facebook account, so you can see the conversation for yourself. Of course the clearest answer to David's question, is the fact that he ONLY ASKED IT ON FACEBOOK. (Oops, and that I don't follow him on Twitter. FIXED)
It's NOT ALL GOOD in the world of social media, Facebook and Twitter. And while Twitter has come a long way, they continue to stumble forward like a giant in-search-of its next meal. We could hope that next acquisition and destruction would be beneficial to us or to the Twitter functionality. For the most part, it's merely a financial play: either Twitter is trying to KILL something from becoming a threat, or MERGE something into Twitter in attempts to find the PROFIT CENTER.
Don't think that Twitter is too big to fail. Remember Digg? There is nothing left of Digg. And while My _____ is trying to rebrand itself, something has been lost on that service forever. So Twitter could be sliding down the FOR MARKETING ONLY hole never to return. And as we look for better platforms to carry on conversations, maybe we will get better tools. I don't see the Twitter-Killer out there yet, but I like some of what Google+ has fixed. And I like the conversive quality of Instagram these days as well.
A BONUS FIX FOR TWITTER (that won't ever happen): Twitter loves spammers and here's why. Fake Twitter accounts generate hundreds of thousands of new Twitter accounts every day. And while Twitter Co. could take some dramatic actions to shut the Twitter farms down, they do not. Can you guess why? If Twitter can say they have 200 million users it looks better their shareholders, more promising to advertisers, and more popular to you and me. The number of followers who's Twitter profiles look like this: "Get more Twitter followers easily. I'll show you how" goes up every day. I REPORT and BLOCK them. But two more show up tomorrow. Could Twitter kill or limit this type of activity? YES. Will they? NO. Another 100,000 users looks good on the balance sheet.
Final note: I'm betting that any conversation about this post will take place on the Facebook thread referenced above, or in some of the LinkedIn Groups I have submitted this thread to, but not here or on Twitter.

The Early Response of Technical Appreciation of PhotographyBY: ISRAVEL PRABHAKARAN | Category: Entertainment | Submitted: 2011-02-09 04:20:17

Photography has been the subject of varied, intelligent and challenging historical analysis and critical debate since its infancy. A critical fascination with the medium has inspired many quite different responses to photographs. Researchers and historians have contributed a long list of works on the history and evolution of photography, detailing technical and artistic developments, which authors and critics, and indeed often the photographers themselves, have wrestled in print with the complex issues, aesthetic, socio-political, or philosophical rose by this image process. Recognition of the importance of history to the understanding of photography is evidenced in the title and context of the first manual of photography, "The History and Description of the Process of the Daguerreotype and Diorama". Most of the early inventors of the photographic process gave account of the origin of their discoveries not just to establish priority but also to assist comprehension of the value and application of the technology. In 1840's the novelty and excitement of the invention tended to dominate commentaries. Photography was a subject of awe, when William Fox Talbot annotated one of his earliest success, 'the negative image of the lattice window at Lacock, Wiltshire', he noted specifically that when the image was first made, he had been able to count every one of the panes of glass which it had recorded. Joseph Ellis proved remarkably prescient as an author and collector. In 1846, he published, 'Photography - A Popular Treatise', an important early survey of technical progress in the medium, detailing the achievements of Talbot, Niepce, Daguerre and Claudet.
The dominant historical perspective on 19th century photography has, however focused an idea of a 'new medium' a proposition first advanced by Elisabeth Eastlake in 1857. Her essay, 'Photography' published anonymously surveyed the short history of the medium in technical terms but also for a critical perspective which compared photography with conventional artistic visual media as 'a new medium of communication'. In 1859, Oliver Wendall Holmes went further and described photography as 'a mirror with memory', his metaphor implies that the photograph is a reflection but one that has been fixed or frozen in time. Antoine Claudet, a French photographer wrote in 1861, "Photography indeed can invent, create and compose as well as copy". In fact particularly in portraiture the machine copies what the true artists has invented, created and composed which could never have been copied or represented if the photographer had not possessed genius. In 1864 Dr Hugh Diamond - editor of The Photographic Journal, and pioneer photographer of mental illness - wrote the report on the International Exhibition in 1862. In this assessment of the state of photography, he claimed there was 'scarce a branch of art, of science of economics, or indeed of human interest in its widest application of this art [photography] has not been made useful'. In medical science, he said, it was used in 'morbid anatomy of malformation and disease generally' as well as recording 'the progress of cases and illustration of surgical treatment'. The long standing tussle between scientific investigators and their illustrators offers one clear example of this process. Before photography, documents were obtained for scientists from artists, but the men of science opposed, what they saw as, the personal vision and aesthetic preferences of artist.
Photography, and in particular the photographic document, slotted neatly into this new vision of objective observation. Throughout its history, the camera has repeatedly been seen as an objective machine that captures information without any interference from the artist. Before the advent of photography police identification of suspects or repeat offenders relied upon eye-witness description and memory. The police began using photography in the 1870's with the emergence of finger printing and subsequently DNA testing. When finger printing was combined with photographs, a powerful new technology of identification and surveillance came into being. One important factor in the development of pictorialism was the rise of mass amateur photography. In 1880's, George Eastman launched the Kodak camera, which enormously simplified the photographic process and reduced the cost. Most writings on photography and its history to this time have been of technical nature, emphasizing the practical rather than the creative aspects of the medium.

How to Prevent Weight Loss
Many people make it a goal to try to lose weight to preserve their health. There are several medical conditions that can cause you to be underweight, which carries its own health risks. Examples of these conditions include hyperthyroidism, side effects from chemotherapy, psychological issues, and even genetics, says FamilyDoctor.org. Thankfully, there are ways to prevent weight loss and to maintain your health.
Step 1
Eat smaller meals more frequently throughout the day. Instead of eating three large meals that you may not finish, eating several smaller meals allows you to consume more calories throughout the day to maintain or increase your weight.
Step 2
Take calcium and vitamin D supplements. While hyperthyroidism makes it difficult to keep weight on, it also thins the bones, making supplementation vital. Adults should get 1,000 milligrams of calcium and 600 international units of vitamin D a day, says Mayo Clinic experts.
Step 3
Perform strength training on a regular basis. Weight lifting and resistance training can help you to build muscle. Added muscle mass will add weight to your body and help you keep it on, according to FamilyDoctor.org.
Step 4
Increase your caloric intake. Trying to prevent weight loss by eating unhealthy foods isn't a good idea. Instead, increase your intake of high-calorie, healthy foods like nuts, low-fat cheeses, and seeds, suggests FamilyDoctor.org.

ZOOM GFX-8 Footswitch Repair
Reliability Mod ...
You're just about to launch into the solo/wank part of your favourite tune, you bounce across the stage and stomp on the footswitch of your G and the switch pops off and goes flying across the floor. You dive after it crashing into the drums sticking your guitar's neck thru the kick and impaling the drummer's nuts with the headstock of your pointy 80's axe, the p'd off drummer shoves his drumsticks up your nose and brings his biggest cymbol crashing down on your head, meantime the bass players tripped over your sprawled body and flown into the keyboard rack - the audience are standing up screaming for an encore - the last time they saw someone end a show like this was when Kurt was still alive, and you're lying on the ground grinning cos you're clutching your wayward footswitch in your sweaty palm!
So.... how to avoid getting your snot on your drummer's sticks? Read on.....
First off, a bit of history.....
Just off the subject of repair here, I've not tried to get replacement switches, maybe ZOOM does sell them (I doubt it), but that would be the first thing to try. If your switch breaks off, then a replacement will pop right back in without taking any screws off. Read right to the end before trying any of this, and remember it may be an idea to wait til your footswitches do pop off before diving in there.
Brief Instructions: First off get a container to keep the loose parts in - springs, screws etc. An empty 1 liter ice-cream tub works well.
1: Turn the GFX unit over, and using a star/philips screwdriver (not a kitchen knife!) remove the 8 black screws holding on the black back plate (circled in red). Lift off the back plate to expose the circuit board etc. Keep the screws in your container.
2: Remove the gold colored screws from beneath the footswitches and the 2 on the bank sw, also in red (that's why you can't pull the switches off the front). Keep the screws in your container.
3: Turn the unit over again (face up) and remove the black screws from the front of the footswitches - 2 each - 3 on the bank up/down sw (red dots in picture 1). Gently lift the switches and switch housing off being careful not to lose the LED stalks (these are clear plastic stalks that bring the red light from the surface mount LED on the board up to the front panel - arrow pic 2) - blue dots in picture 1. Lift these off and put them in your container. While looking at this picture 1, note the 'strain relief' circled in red below - use it! - wrap your ac lead once around it, so next time the bass player trips over your power cord, he doesn't break off the circuit board inside the GFX! Really, use it!
3a: While the back cover is off, take a look at the circuit board where the ac power socket joins - check for any cracks. Note the 2 slots in the circuit board (red arrows in picture below), this makes it weak, and mine had cracked along the thin red line as in the picture (no you jerk there's no red line on your circuit board, I put it in the pic to show where mine was cracked), if you're having power trouble (GFX occasionally loses power and comes back on when you wiggle the power connector) then look here. This is the subject of another page, and since it involves removing the circuit board, and some careful soldering, it may be best to get a repair shop or an electronics friend to do it.
4: There are 2 tabs on the front side of the switch housing (red arrows, pic 1 below), which hold the switch in the housing. VERY CAREFULLY squeeze these in so the switch will pop out (see pic 2 below). These are designed to be used once, but you should get away with it if you're gentle. Do not bend them too far. Pop the switch out, lift out the springs and store them in your container and have a look at the hinge end of the switch. There is a piece of very thin plastic taking all the strain at the bottom side. This is the part that breaks off and has to be either repaired or strengthened. Incidently did you notice how stiff the springs are? I've replaced mine with springs about half the stiffness (from an electrical supply store or a watchmaker) and the action is very acceptable.
5: Check the hinge end of the switch, and if it's cracked or broken (arrows, pic 1 below), then glue the crack first. I've found that Humbrol model aeroplane glue works, but any good plastic glue, superglue or 2-part epoxy should do it. After the cracks are fixed, cut a small piece of thin plastic to fit over the bottom of the hinge part (arrow, pic 2 below) - I used the plactic from a broken cd case - anything thicker and it won't fit back in. Don't get any glue in the hole where the hinge goes, or you'll have to clean it out before re-fitting.
6: Etc etc blah blah gotta go will finish this later ...... how to put it back together ... basically tho a reverse of the above procedure. Hold this page up against a mirror ..... ;->
I see you shiver with antici........

Minerva Houses
Precept students are assigned to sections according to the house of the faculty member. Therefore, many Preceptors choose to hold their course, or occasional classes, in their Minerva house seminar room. This provides a somewhat less formal atmosphere than the classroom. It also gets the students into their Minerva house, and gives them a change of pace.
The seminar rooms have a projector, screen, and DVD/VCR player. There is also a cord for hooking up your laptop. The operation of the equipment is different enough from the electronic classrooms that you will need a separate briefing before you use it. It only takes about a half-hour, and you can arrange for the instruction by contacting Virginia Solomon, Director of Media Services, email@example.com, or ext. 6550.
You can also request the special Precept breakfast from Vicky Wain in Dining Services on a weekly basis or for specific dates. The Precept breakfast consists of assorted bagels and muffins, spreads, and napkins/plates/knives. It costs approximately $15 per breakfast. You can order juice when you order for an additional cost, but it is much cheaper if you bring juice in and ask to be reimbursed from your Precept fund at the end of the term (keep all your receipts).
Precept funds: How Can I Use the $300?
Each Preceptor can request $300 per term to pursue course-related activities with his or her Precept students. Faculty have used this money in a variety of ways. Some have taken their students to see a movie or a play related to the course theme; others have gone out to dinner with the class; still others have used it to provide breakfast in class once per week. Other ideas might include field trips or day trips off-campus. Many Preceptors ask their class to help decide how to use the money. Since cash advances from the Finance office are limited to $125, Preceptors usually charge any off-campus activity and seek reimbursement using an expense report form. Save your receipts and contact the Dean of Studies to get the account number for FYP. Submit the form to the Dean.
If you want to arrange an activity that costs more than $300, you might consider opening the activity to other members of your Minerva House so that you may request additional funds from the House. Each Minerva house has a website listing the House Council members and their contact information; see the Minerva Programs website to find your house site.
The on-campus Dining Services offers several options for catering that can be viewed at the following website. The person to contact for your order, preferably well in advance, is Vicky Wain (firstname.lastname@example.com). You will need to provide her with some basic information:
Date and Time of Event
Place of Event
Number of People at Event
Food and Beverage Request
Account number (which you can receive from the Dean of Studies

This lovely part of Devon and Somerset has a rich and varied landscape, from the highest cliffs and the tallest tree in England, to the wild and open moors beloved by wild ponies and the stunning Quantock Hills. Visit Exmoor and you'll be spoilt by glorious scenery and the peace and quiet you thought had disappeared from Britain a long time ago. Exmoor is also proud to be Europe's very first International Dark Sky Reserve and home to 250 species of bird and over 1,000 plant species as well as boasting some of the wildest coastline. Where ponies and red deer roam free, this is the ultimate destination for complete rest and relaxation and for a chance to get back to nature.
From quintessentially English tea rooms to proper pub grub, there's plenty of choice when it comes to eating out. In Dulverton you'll find the fabulous Woods which serves the best of British (with a hint of France) in a cosy pub setting. The Culbone in Porlock is also worth a visit, a family run eaterie serving the best in local produce. Exmoor prides itself on its producers, so make sure to stock up on goodies by visiting the local farmers markets and independent shops and stocking up on organic meats, thick clotted cream and scrummy baked goods to name but a few to take back to your retreat.
With two breweries and even a vineyard as well as more than a scattering inns and pubs, there's no shortage of places to have a drink or two whilst out exploring. The Ship Inn in Porlock is one of the oldest in Exmoor and offers fab pub grub as well, whilst The Rising Sun, a traditional inn in the heart of the Quantock Hills, pairs old-world charm with tasty meals. The Poltimore Arms in South Molton is a very traditional 13th century inn, well worth a visit if a little tricky to find as is the London Inn in the same village. Finally, The Royal Oak in Withypool is a must after a hard days' walking.
For outdoor lovers, you're spoilt for choice. From walking, cycling or horse riding the many, many trails that criss-cross the moors, valleys, hills and woodlands to wildlife watching, exploring the night skies by telescope and wild sea swimming and fishing, there's something to suit all. For something a little more sedate, explore the many villages and towns that are scattered over Exmoor, where you'll find markets, independent shops and of course the odd tea room or two to sample.
Sleeps 8 + cot in 4 Bedrooms
If peace and quiet, rolling countryside, idyllic villages and a stunningly pretty retreat is what you're after, look no further than this fabulous luxury homestay.
From £937 for a long weekend to £2890 for a week.
1.5 miles S of Dulverton
Sleeps 2 in 1 Bedroom
A picturesque 18th century English country cottage neatly positioned on the edge of Exmoor National Park's unique landscape of moorland, woodland, valleys and farmland.
From £506 for a long weekend to £918 for a week.

We are calling our current series in the Psalms "Singing of Jesus" and maybe no other Psalm gives us that encouragement quite like 107. We come to the Lord broken, helpless and hurting, and he comes to us with redemption. The redeemed of the Lord say so because of his steadfast love. It is true that the redemption we seek and receive is flesh and blood, it is Jesus. We will talk about it Sunday at 10am at Del Norte High. Come as you are!
Tutoring Ministry: Tutoring is underway at our neighborhood apartments. If you are interested in helping tutor, contact Joe You.
Prayer: We meet weekly on Tuesday at 7pm (715 Montview Dr in Escondido) & Sunday at 9am at church before the service. Join us for prayer!

Control of asthma symptoms depends not only on the efficacy of the treatment taken, but on the effective delivery of that treatment to the target area of the lungs. To achieve this, patients must carry out the recommended technique when using their inhaler device. Previous research has shown a high prevalence of incorrect use among patients with asthma, as well as an association between poor inhaler technique and poor patient outcomes. If inhaler technique is to be improved with targeted and enhanced inhaler training, information is needed on the specific errors that are frequent and detrimental to the patient.
The CRITIKAL study (CRITical Inhaler mistaKes and Asthma controL), recently published in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice, aimed to identify critical errors of inhaler use. Price and colleagues utilized data from the iHARP database (initiative Helping Asthma in Real-life Patients). This database was derived from an asthma review service carried out in primary care practices in the UK, Australia and six other European countries. It contains symptom data of participating patients who were receiving a fixed-dose combination treatment with inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting beta agonist (ICS/LABA). It also contains details of errors made while patients demonstrated inhaler technique: these errors were recorded by purposefully-trained healthcare professionals. The study analyzed the effect of individual errors on asthma symptom control and exacerbation rate, and considered dry-powder inhalers (DPIs) and metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) separately.
The results identified a number of critical errors, which were specific to inhaler device type. For DPIs, the inhalation was not fast or forceful enough in approximately one third of patients. This led to a greater likelihood of uncontrolled symptoms, and a higher rate of exacerbations, in patients using Turbohaler - Symbicort™ (n=2,074) and patients using Diskus - Seretide™ (n=826). Other critical DPI errors included: shaking or tipping the device in a way that compromised the dose, and not sealing lips around the mouthpiece to ensure dose is not lost. For MDIs, 25% of patients actuated the device before they inhaled, rather than at the same time. This was associated with uncontrolled symptoms in patients using MDI - Seretide™ (n=760). Other critical MDI errors were related to the preparation and inhalation of the second dose.
The CRITIKAL study is the first to identify individual inhaler errors that have the biggest impact on patients with asthma. Its findings could have direct implications on the type of inhaler training provided in the management of asthma, and should reinforce the importance of such training.
The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice is an official journal of the AAAAI, focusing on practical information for the practicing clinician.

This morning when I woke up I woke up resolved, I had made my mind up before I went to bed that I would have a certain attitude and be committed to a certain attitude. I would be lying if I said that I'm excited about the decision that my fellow Americans made. I'm not going to grab a stick and start a revolution, or talk to everyone I know about how horrible this situation is and what in the world are we going to do. That really wouldn't be very productive, now would it, nor would it solve anything. Instead I think resolution is in order. Especially as a Christian who has three small sets of eyes watching my reaction and my attitude. It's especially true when things don't go the way "I" want them to go, should I pout and scream and call forth doom and gloom? Not at all. I think I should be resolved to pray for this country and those who lead it. I should be resolved to pray for the leader of this country no matter what. I want my new President-elect to be safe and protected. So, I'll pray for him and pray that his leadership is a turning point.
I know that this election will be the topic of discussion as long as I live, it is truly one for the history books! There is no doubt that it was an historic election. I can remember feeling a sense of apprehension when my candidate didn't win the last time (1992) and looking back made a critical error in not praying for my president. I don't want to be guilty of ignoring some one's need for prayer based on the fact that "he's not the one I wanted to win."
It's over now, we move on, nothing has changed in my daily routine. As I drove to work this morning it really struck home with me that nothing in my normal routine has changed or possibly will change. Would have, could have, and should have are all things that have no power other than the power of distraction. If you are reading this today and feeling somewhat like I do, look out for yourself and pray for your president, he's going to need it. Pray for every member of government as Christ prayed for the members of His government that were crucifying him! We, Christians, are called to stand out and be different, let's not be different by being ugly and rude and not supporting the person we didn't choose.
Freedom is a sweet, wonderful and under appreciated liberty. I hear the bells of liberty ringing and know that the founding fathers of our country would be proud of the process and revelling in the ability our country has to give opportunity to all who seek it.

Plastic products and Impact Resistance
When my wife dropped her old cell phone from the balcony to the concrete-paved yard, the phone took a few bounces and distributed itself then in several pieces around it. That was it, I thought. But as we collected the pieces, snapped them together and turned the power on, the phone worked perfectly again despite the few scratches it had gained. Excellent job on mechanical design, I had to conclude (the phone was, by the way, an ancient Nokia).
Impact resistance (or impact strength) describes a material's or a product's ability to absorb shock or impact energy without breaking.
Something that feels strong and stiff might be surprisingly easy to break with a bump to the right spot. Resistance against impacts is one of the key requirements in plastic product design. It is clear that a helmet or a ski boot should have high impact resistance, but almost every plastic product is subjected to impacts at some point of its service life and the consequences are often irreversible. All products should preferably be impact resistant to a degree for more reasons than one. They may fall down from store shelf before they ever meet the customer, to begin with.
Impact resistance is in fact one of the key strengths of plastics. It is why they are used in e.g. helmets, riot shields and sports gear. They replace glass in many applications, and in some cases they can be more durable than metals; if you kick a metal bucket, for example, you easily make a dent in it. A well designed plastic bucket would take the impact with no problem. Impact resistance is not, however, an inherent material property to all plastics grades. Some grades are rather poor in withstanding impact, as we all may have noticed with cheap plastic toys or other similar products.
Selecting the right material is in main role when designing impact resistant products but the mechanical design/geometry makes a big difference as well. Tips on material selection and mechanics can read by pressing the links below.

eBay in Stockholm
Last week I was invited out to Stockholm for eBay's autumn/winter advertising shoot. Yeah, I was surprised at first too... eBay do advertising shoots?
From the pages of Vogue to the walls of the underground - I remember seeing the images from last year everywhere. I wasn't really sure what they were all about though. Turns out there's a little outlet tucked within the pages of eBay that offers new products from high street brands at up to 70% off - this is the direction that eBay are moving. Don't worry, they wont be getting rid of 99p vintage bargains anytime soon. It's just an addition to what they have already become known and loved for.
Sara Dunn did the most incredible job at styling the shoot. Why do I always think I need to buy brand new pieces from designer shops to create great outfits? She used last season's pieces and still managed to create inspiring looks. Besides just playing with all the accessories, I also presented a behind the scenes video that will be available to view later this month...
Massive thank you to Rachel for inviting me out and Daniel for being the ultimate chef.
