- 1. How to Build an Online Portfolio and Drive Traffic To It When you're a web designer, graphic designer, or similar professional in a creative field, you have two essential tools for attracting new clients: word of mouth and a stellar portfolio. The latter can be invaluable so it's critical that you're able to build a strong one and drive traffic to it. Neglect these tasks and you'll be at a disadvantage, but if you can maximize your portfolio you will increase your chances of landing new opportunities. Quick tips for building a killer design portfolio on line While you might still have reasons to carry a physical portfolio, nearly everything is done online these days. And that's an advantage for you. It allows your work to be seen through the medium it was designed for, and permits optimal clarity and quality. Although the nuances in a portfolio may be many -- and you could spend hours researching best practices in that respect -- the simple tips below are all you'll really need to get started: o Aim for simplicity. Don't confuse this with taking a shallow approach. You need to do your work justice, but don't overcomplicate things by incorporating elements that shouldn't be there. Showcase the complexities and quality of your work in a manner that's easy to digest. o Sell yourself. You'll frequently hear business investors say something along the lines of "We invest in people, not ideas." Keep this in mind when you build your portfolio. Of course your work needs to be good enough to pique the interest of potential clients, but the real focus should be on you, the artist. Sell yourself by creating a compelling "About Me" page and respond to any questions they might have at this point. o Make yourself reachable. According to Chris Whitling, Director of Marketing for HostGator, one of the leading hosting services for online portfolios, "Sharp website owners will always include plenty of contact information. Don't limit yourself to just an email address on your portfolio. Some potential clients may be inspired to pick up the phone and call you. A detailed contact page will enable you to connect with more leads." o Stay current. As a rule of thumb, you should revisit your portfolio at least once every three months to update it and add, or at least alter, content. Ideally, you should do this as often as once every three or four weeks. Design trends change rapidly, and you'll want to showcase your most up-to-date
- 2. work. Optimize your portfolio and pull in traffic While the design aspect of your portfolio may come naturally, the optimization and SEO aspects may seem a little foreign to creatives such as yourself. Don't allow that to make you underestimate their value, though. Your portfolio can be beautiful, compelling, and informative, but it's pointless without a viewing audience. After you complete it, shift your focus to optimization. In particular, you'll want to consider some of the following tips: o Maximize titles. Always include the client name and the type of work in the title tag. This will assist search engines that crawl your site so they can more easily identify what each item is in your portfolio. In addition, you should insert the most important information on each page within the heading tags (h1). o Include descriptions. One of the biggest disadvantages of an online design portfolio from an SEO standpoint is that almost all the content is visual. Currently, search engines aren't able to search, identify, and display visual results with much accuracy or speed unless there are keyword-rich descriptions to accompany them. Always include textual descriptions on each page in order to satisfy the needs of search engines, as well as provide added value for the readers. o Build inbound links. While you have to be careful about how you build inks to your portfolio -- always check the latest Google guidelines before committing to a particular practice -- it's worthwhile to have some sort of strategy. For beginning designers with few connections, it may be helpful to talk with other designers and trade links. o Utilize valid code. If you want your portfolio to be spidered correctly, you need to ensure you're using valid code. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) website has all the information you're likely to need. o Build a blog. In the design arena, investment in content marketing can go a long way. That's because very few designers are doing that. By building an onsite blog and committing to creating regular posts (somewhere between three and five entries per week, ideally), you can increase your SEO credibility and attract plenty of human traffic to your site. o Make your work shareable. One of the best ways to pull in traffic is to make the content within your portfolio easily shareable. This gives visitors the ability to share your work on social networking sites such as Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter, where unique content has a chance to go viral. Getting noticed: the name of the game In the design industry -- as in many other professions and fields -- it's all about getting noticed. Though you may have the same skillset as some of the top performers in your niche, you won't get a chance to showcase those talents unless you put yourself out there and make yourself known. Use these helpful tactics to build a killer online portfolio and drive highly targeted traffic to it. http://www.searchengineguide.com/jayson-demers/how-to-build-an-online-portfolio-and-dri.php

Hydro Quebec is more interested in supporting blockchain activities by blue chip companies in the province than it is in rolling out a red carpet for crypto miners, La Presse reports.
Internal documents obtained in a freedom of information request show that Hydro Quebec is waiting for permission from the energy regulator, Régie de l'énergie, to set aside a 500 megawatt energy block for established companies looking to add blockchains to their operations.
The names of ten companies, including Boeing, IBM and Shell, are listed in the application to the Régie.
Hydro Quebec wants to charge these companies a premium of at least 1 cent per kilowatt hour over the province's standard rate.
This is a far cry from what it has been charging crypto mining firms that arrived in the province after June 6th of this year: twice the going rate.
The Régie de l'énergie has approved Hydro Quebec's request to continue charging the double rate, at least until the province sets up its crypto industry regulations.
Hearings to regulate the new sector are scheduled to begin in August.
Hydro Quebec CEO Eric Martel told Bloomberg that his offices have been deluged with requests for industrial-strength power since the beginning of 2018. 95% of these requests, he says, have come from from cryptocurrency mining firms looking to set up shop in Quebec.
Canada's largest French province boasts some of the cheapest hydro rates in North America. Cold temperatures in winter also help miners cool machines more cheaply.
Blue chip companies requesting hydro for mainstream blockchains seem to have been preferenced, but hydro Quebec has warned that even they could experience power disruptions if the province is forced to draw away power during times of heavy electrical demand, including winter.
Hydro Quebec has claimed that providing power to the more than 300 crypto mining firms currently requesting it would eat up 18,000 megawatts of the system's total 37,000 megawatt output. Eric Martel told Bloomberg:
"There are limits to what we can do. I have a huge network with lots of capacity, but I cannot host the entire planet."
La Presse says that Boeing is looking into blockchain as a way to improve GPS systems, and Maersk and IBM are experimenting with blockchains to reduce paperwork, boost efficiencies and track items in supply chains.

About Cantargia
Cantargia AB (publ), reg.no. 556791-6019, is a biotech company that is developing antibody-based treatments for life-threatening diseases. The original discovery by the research team behind Cantargia was the overexpression of a specific target molecule, interleukin 1 receptor accessory protein (IL1RAP) in leukemic stem cells. Subsequent research has also identified IL1RAP in many other forms of cancer. The company's main project, the CAN04 antibody targeted at IL1RAP, is being studied in the CANFOUR clinical phase I/IIa study, where the primary focus is on non-small cell lung cancer and pancreatic cancer. CAN04 has two modes of action: it blocks the function of IL1RAP and stimulates the immune system to destroy tumour cells. Cantargia's second project, currently in the research phase, is aimed at developing an IL1RAP-binding antibody that is optimised for treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
Cantargia is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm First North (ticker: CANTA). Sedermera Fondkommission is the company's Certified Adviser. More information about Cantargia is available at http://www.cantargia.com.

About Dun Usgar: A Celtic Tale of the Selkies
This work of Gothic Adventure and Mystery will sweep you away on the tides of the Underwater Kingdom of the Selkies.
Lady Rowan and her two small daughters set sail under cover of darkness to find sanctuary from the War of Scottish Independence. Their journey is plagued by visions of monsters, calm seas and the hostility of the superstitious crew. After a storm and near shipwreck, the captain throws Lady Rowan and her daughters overboard. They end up on an island at the very edge of the Hebrides, where they take refuge in a ruined castle overlooking the empty sea of Sule Skerry where the Kingdom of the Selkies once reigned. Once wealthy, with all the luxuries Medieval life could offer, Lady Rowan, her daughters, and her small party of servants must struggle to survive.
One night, Lady Rowan sees a mysterious ship with a red sail come in close to the shore. On board is handsome young man who seduces her and claims her as his one true love. Is he real, or just the dream of woman desperate to escape the deprivation and misery of her life?
Dun Usgar is place awash in mysteries of the sea and the shape-shifting creatures called Selkies: man on land and seal in the sea. Allow your imagination to carry you away on the tides to a place where dreams and grim reality meet.

Did I just bash TA?
Perhaps I was just getting down on technicians who were like John Kerry in Dubya's TV ads in 2004. Any way the wind blows.
Golden cross? Must be true, get bullish!
Head-and-shoulders? Must be true, get bearish!
Failed head-and-shoulders? Must be true, get bullish!
My head is spinning from all the flip-flopping. Suddenly the SpongeBob theme song is in my head and I see analysts dropping to the deck to flop like a fish. Go as your kids for the lyrics sheet if you do not understand.
Here's the deal - the market is doing its job. It is making as many people as possible look bad as it chops up daring swing traders. Day traders - awesome. Swing traders - chop, chop, chop. My own picks are well underwater right now but the higher this rally goes, the better the shorting will be. I personally took a nibble near the close.

I have been banging my head against the wall as the market continues to surprise me with these sharp moves. I took your advice from last time that money management is crucial. I closed my puts when I sensed something unusual on monday morning. but still didn't do good enough. I NEVER expected a 7% move in 3 days. this is my 2 cents, today's technology is much more advanced than 8 or 20 yrs ago. Now, I can trade more like a professional with tools from ThinkOrSwim and TD Ameritrade. trend lines, MA's, MACD's, OBV's the whole nine yards. With everything being available, looks like everybody wants to be ahead of the curve. I think people are trading more based on what they see from these tools rather than using their judgement and using risk analysis that controlled previous years turnarounds. So, if you look at the drops last september and the spikes this spring, they were quite unusual. Everybody wants to get out or everybody wants to get in. I think its just an illusion of being in control. Man..I sound like Deepak chopra. Just my thoughts..

I'm not looking for any particular shots and I'm not looking for the perfect pictures. I just respond to what's happening. I simply follow my intuition, get the pictures home, load them into Adobe Lightroom and see what they say to me.

Hello people, my nickname is KnightmareFury, my real name is Fellipe, and I'm from Brazil. I finished making the most epic project I've ever done so far! A few days ago I googled for a Jerry's Tree download, but found nothing close to the epicness Minecrafted done when pimping CaptainSparklez's treehouse. Then I began making my very own tree, and decided to make it avaiable for download so I can sort of help people like me who wasn't happy with the recreations I found!
This version must be played in 1.7.4 only!! Playing on newer versions will NOT work!
If you get really stuck on the Puzzle Branch, there are non-spoiler hints on the forum to help you finish the branch.
This map is NOT compatible with Bukkit. My apologies.
For Multiplayer, you MUST have command blocks enabled.
I recommend you keep the game to 2 players, but 3 could work.
Your server.properties file should include the following items
Good luck and thank you very much for showing interest in the map!

Since 1st November 2015 you need a written confirmation from a landlord or signed by an authorized person for your registration in the city.
This authorized person is usually the owner/proprietor/ Studierendenwerk/ the authorized janitor/caretaker, who confirms your exact date of moving in.
If you are living under a sublease agreement, you also need such a landlord confirmation. Because of that it is important to clarify if the person you are renting from is truly authorized to issue that confirmation.
In case you are planning a semester abroad or an internship within the course of your studies and are worried about paying the rent double - you can always sublease your accommodation for that period of time, e.g. to our new students who struggle to find a suitable room or flat at the beginning. Please note that you must inform your landlord or your landlady that you are going for a semester abroad (or participating in an internship) and that you will sublease your room. You must sign a new contract with the new tenant for that particular period of time as well.
Sublease agreement in a dormitory of Studierendenwerk Dortmund
You are usually not allowed to sublease the rooms of the Studierendenwerk but there are some exceptions, e.g. when you make a semester abroad or an internship and want to sublease the room for that time. You can only do it with an official authorisation and a contract with Studierendenwerk Dortmund. Please inform yourself directly at Studierendenwerk regarding that issue. More information can be found at their websites (German only).
A failure to present the landlord confirmation at the Citizen Services can lead to serious problems! If you have any issues, we advise you to turn directly to the responsible authorities or the International Office!

Delegating to and Supervising Others in the Organization: "So What Gives You the Right to Boss Around Other Law Students?"
May 15, 2017 | 3/26/18 5:30 pm - 3/26/18 6:30 pm
Delegating to lawyers and law students is different. They tend to be more analytical and skeptical, and value their independence, compared to the average person. And they are colleagues. This workshop will help you choose the most effective approaches with law students (and later with lawyers) as you decide what to do yourself and what to delegate, choose the person to delegate to, craft the request, determine the degree of leeway, prepare the person, decide on interim feedback, and give credit.
You may attend in person, Drinko 345, or log-in and attend this workshop virtually. If you attend virtually, a log-in code will be sent to you in advance of the workshop.

2017 WGC Bridgestone Invitational Preview And Tips
The role of honour at the 2017 WGC Bridgestone Invitational is littered with major winners. That's hardly surprising considering Firestone Country Club is a demanding par 70 measuring 7,400 yards that tests all aspects of a players game – therefore it's hard to be overly dismissive of the chances of the favourites this week even though, as usual, I'll still be trying to take them on.
Open Champion Spieth turns up here in much better form than last year, when he scrambled brilliantly to finish third. That continued his improvement here in his short career (49/10/3) and, if he hits his irons as well and puts as well as he did at the Open, he could be very hard to beat this week. However, winning four tournaments on the bounce is very hard to do, and he may just have one eye on next week's PGA Championship.
That comment also applies to Rory McIlroy, who must be relishing the chances of playing a major at Quail Hollow next week, and it may be that he uses this week to fine tune his yardages with his new caddie after sacking JP Fitgerald.
Meanwhile, Dustin Johnson took last year's event as rode the crest of his first major victory wave but, as he's not quite in as good a form this time around, and his previous form here was nothing to write home about, I'll pass on him too.
One player who I think will definitely be looking forward to this tournament is new US Open Champion Brooks Koepka, as he was sixth here on debut in 2015, and long-straight drivers tend to do well here. A first WGC Title would also be a second box ticked this year, and he's expected to go well.
Charl Schwartzel is another former major winner who has shown glimpses of returning to his very best this year and, having finished fourth and seventh in the last three years, he looks well worth including in this week's staking plan.
Last, but not least, I'm adding Jason Dufner to the staking plan. The sour-faced former PGA Championship winner will be looking forward to his favourite tournament next week, and he also boasts a fourth and a seventh here in the last four years.
WGC Bridgestone Tips
Brooks Koepka 3 Points Each-Way @ 16/1 with Paddy Power (paying 7 places)
Charl Schwartzel 1 Point Each-Way @ 55/1 with Paddy Power (paying 7 places)
Jason Dufner 1 Point Each-Way @ 55/1 with Paddy Power (paying 7 places)

A Great MovieRating: 10/10This is a great movie with amazing actors.
One suggestion for all the people who give it a bad review: Rent the DVD and
listen to the track with the directors commentary (the full length movie).
What I read so far on reviews, including the official ones from all the
Siskel and Eberts, they seem to misunderstand the movie. They are criticizing
exactly what the director did on purpose.
Watch the movie - watch the commentary version - watch the movie again. It is
a great experience.

WaPo Buys the #Election
BY Nancy Scola | Tuesday, November 2 2010
First off, did you know that people can buy trending topics on Twitter? Right, yes, me too.
And that's what the Washington Post has done, snatching up the "#election" hashtag on this, election day in the U.S. For the Post, it's a chance to force the news organization's election coverage to bubble up the top of the chatter on Twitter; for Twitter, of course, it's part of their strategy to make money off their enormously popular platform. "Promoted trends" launched in June as a monetization of the hashtag concept that Twitter's user base organically launched and embraced. According to the Twitter website, hashtags have to meet some minimum bar of legitimate natural popularity before they can be purchased by organizations looking to capitalize on them; they are, according to Twitter, "already popular subjects on Twitter, but [that] may not have made their way into the Trending Topics list yet." But "promoted" is the right way to think about this, because having a paying sponsor can indeed push it above where it would otherwise rise in the Twitter ecosystem. Promoted trends link to promoted tweets, giving WaPo the top spot on the search results list for the #election hashtag.
Poynter's Steve Myers has the story on the Post's purchased popularity.
Twittter's promoted trends is a slightly different approach than a company like Google has taken, where the latter has long avoided blending paid-for search results with the top results produced by their algorithm. These paid-for trends are marked "Promoted," but their value comes in making them read to users as part of the natural stream of data that makes up the Twitter user experience.
But a lesson from the playground has salience here, too: you can't make people like you. The "promoted tweet" of the Post's running at the top of #election hashtag list is, at the moment, one for a Post story on what's facing Democrat-linked businesses in the new Congress. More than three hours old, it's been retweeted fewer than 20 times. The second tweet in the #election list has, by contrast, between retweeted more than 100 times. Posted by a London-based "freelance football blogger" named Paul Seery, it's a cross-Atlantic wish of good luck to Barack Obama and the Democrats luck on today's election. And it didn't cost him a pence.
(via Alexis Madrigal)
Update: techPresident friend Tom Watson points out that he's been waging a lonely war against Twitter's "promoted trends": "It's entirely inauthentic, just shy of truly offensive, and deeply at odds with the ethos that has governed Twitter up until 2010..."

United States District Court, District of Columbia
September 20, 2017
RADCLIFFE BANCROFT LEWIS, Plaintiff,v.DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA POLICE DEPARTMENT, et al, Defendants.
matter is before the Court on the Motion to Dismiss [ECF No.
14] filed on behalf of the United States Attorney for the
District of Columbia, and the Public Defender Service for the
District of Columbia's Rule 12(b)(6) Motion to Dismiss
Plaintiffs Complaint [ECF No. 3, at 29-34]. For the reasons
stated below, the Court grants both motions.
claims arise from his arrest in the District of Columbia, the
filing of a misdemeanor criminal charge against him in the
Superior Court of the District of Columbia, representation by
court-appointed counsel, and his detention by order of the
Superior Court while he underwent forensic screening. It
appears that plaintiff ultimately was found competent to
stand trial, and the criminal charges were dismissed.
Plaintiff now purports to bring false arrest, defamation and
malicious prosecution claims against the United States
Attorney for the District of Columbia ("U.S.
Attorney") and the District of Columbia Public Defender
Service ("PDS").
makes two "Demands" against the U.S. Attorney:
3a UNITED STATES ATTORNEY FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA . . .
maliciously prosecuted the warrantless arrest by gambling
that [plaintiff] would be found incompetent, and when he was
found competent they had no veritable case to advance upon
demand, thereby placing [plaintiff] at substantial risk of
being unwarrantably deemed a convict. Plaintiff demands seven
million dollars, which is U.S. $7, 000, 000.00.
3b UNITED STATES ATTORNEY FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA also
received the services of, and relied upon the clandestine
expertise of one of their own, in CRAIG N. MOORE who
infiltrated the criminal defense establishment of the
Judicial System to subject [plaintiff] to incarceration in
mental institutions in retaliation for challenging the
jurisdiction of the criminal court. Plaintiff demands seven
million dollars, which is U.S. $7, 000, 000.00.
at 6 (emphasis in original). Similarly, the Complaint
includes two "Demands" against PDS:
8a DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA PUBLIC DEFENDER SERVICE advanced
assertions to the several courts that it is able to affirm to
the public that [plaintiff] is in fact the person rightfully
charged with a crime, even though in a previous dispute[],
this same defendant advanced to the courts that they are not
able to affirm to the public that [plaintiff] is in fact the
person . . . that it trained to be a criminal defense
investigator . . . sufficient to certify [plaintiff] so that
he obtains access to commerce by providing litigation support
to attorneys and members of the public. Those two assertions
by this one defendant cannot be reconciled one to the other.
Plaintiff demands fourteen million dollars, which is U.S.
$14, 000, 000.
8b DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA PUBLIC DEFENDER SERVICE certified a
career prosecutor holding high office in the UNITED STATES
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE to be a lowly public defender where he
was able to interpose and become a clandestine prosecutor
accusing [plaintiff] of being mentally incompetent even while
he shielded his identity as the accuser, and pretended to be
a defense counsel, thereby exercising overt influence over
all parts of a criminal proceeding[.] This is malicious
prosecution and it is egregious .... Plaintiff demands
fourteen million dollars, which is U.S. $14, 000, 000[, ]
against the interests jointly of the DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
PUBLIC DEFENDER SERVICE, and CRAIG N[.] MOORE.
Id. at 7-8 (emphasis in original).
Dismissal Under Rule 12(b)(1)
that [p]laintiff seeks money damages against the United
States Attorney, and his claims appear to sound in tort
(false arrest and malicious prosecution), " the U.S.
Attorney concludes that plaintiff "invoke[s] the Federal
Tort Claims Act[.]" Mem. of P. & A. in Supp. of
Def.'s Mot. to Dismiss, ECF No. 14 ("Def.'s
Mem.") at 3. The U.S. Attorney moves to dismiss
plaintiffs first "demand" against him for lack of

Blackouts at Work?August 6, 2015
Here's How to Stay Productive
Have you recently been without power at your office more than usual? According to the Department of Energy, power outages in America have steadily increased over the last two-plus decades. But since 2008, blackouts have become significantly more common in the country, with weather-related activities serving as their leading cause.
Unfortunately, when the power goes out, you're unable to serve your customers as your systems and networks get knocked offline. And when that happens, you need to restore power quickly. Recent research indicates that 87 percent of businesses that lose access to their data for a week will go out of business within a single year. So what can you do to stay productive when you're experiencing a blackout?
Avoid Unplanned Downtime With Missouri Power Generator Rentals
While you can't control the weather and prevent storms from knocking your power out, you can put your company in a position to respond to customer questions and meet their needs. Remember, if the power goes out in St. Louis and you have a customer in Fenton, for example, that client may not be patient enough to wait for your electricity to be restored. If the client needs immediate assistance, he may even decide to take his business elsewhere if you're unable to help.
In order to ensure you're able to consistently serve your customers — no matter what Mother Nature decides to do — it's crucial to draft a business continuity plan that will give you peace of mind knowing you can keep your doors open even when the lights go out. With a backup power generator on hand, you'll be able to rest comfortably knowing that your phone systems and servers have the juice they need to keep running.
Finding Emergency Power Generation Rentals
Owning a business is hard work. While blackouts are a fact of life, you don't have wait for them to occur before figuring out your next steps. Instead, be proactive so your business will be best-positioned to handle all customer requests, no matter what it looks like outside.
If you're looking for emergency power generator rentals in St. Louis, look no further than Fabick Cat. Our team is committed to your success, so if you're looking to put together a disaster recovery plan and ensure productivity even when the power goes out, you've come to the right place.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Cloud Hosting
APC is pre-installed on our next generation cloud platform, so you'll be able to use it for your web applications irrespective of the cloud hosting package that you select when you sign up. The module can be enabled through the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel that is used to handle the shared accounts and only a few minutes later it will boost your websites since it will begin caching their code. In case you would like to run Internet sites with different system requirements or take advantage of different web accelerators for any of them, you will be able to customize the software environment by putting a php.ini file inside the preferred domain folder. In this way, you could enable or disable APC not just for a particular website without affecting the other websites in the account, but also for a particular version of PHP because our platform is compatible with multiple versions simultaneously.
APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can use APC with all our semi-dedicated server packages and activating the framework is performed with a mouse click inside the Hepsia Control Panel, so even when you lack previous experience, you'll be able to use it to boost your websites. As the cloud internet hosting platform where the semi-dedicated accounts are created supports multiple PHP releases, you'll have flexibility with regards to the scripts and web accelerators you could employ. It will take you just a click to allow APC for one or several PHP releases and by using a php.ini file inside the domain/subdomain folders where you need settings that are not the same as the ones for the account in general, you will be able to set what PHP version will be used and whether APC needs to be enabled or not. In this way, one Internet site can use APC and PHP 5.3, for instance, whereas another one can use another accelerator and PHP 5.5.

(return to Paying the price)
In the early morning of March 3, 2016, prominent environmental and indigenous rights activist Berta Cáceres was killed while sleeping in her bed in Honduras. Cáceres was known for her outspoken yet peaceful campaign against the Agua Zarca hydroelectric project on the Gualcarque River. She was also a grantee of Boulder-based nonprofit Global Greengrants Fund, which supports grassroots environmental actions throughout the world.
"She is, was, a really warm, sparkly-eyed, funny, laughing woman who took her work very seriously," says Justine Reed, vice president and executive director of Global Greengrants Fund, who worked personally with Cáceres on several occasions. "She came from a long line of feisty women, and she herself was feisty."
Raised by a strong woman who took in refugees from the civil war in neighboring El Salvador when she was young, in 1993 Cáceres cofounded the National Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras (COPINH) to advocate for the rights of the indigenous Lenca people on issues that threaten their livelihood, including illegal logging. Starting in 2006, Cáceres rallied behind community members in opposition to the Agua Zarca project on the Gualcarque River in western Honduras.
"It wasn't so much that she had her specific agenda of what individual action should be," Reed says. "She was very committed to building consensus within the community, getting the community to have a voice and then taking that voice and fighting for it."
With funding from international banks and international hydroelectric companies, the dam project was approved without consultation from the local indigenous people, who consider the river sacred. Although formal complaints filed with both the Honduran government and Inter-American Human Rights Commission failed to stop the project moving forward, Cáceres organized a road blockade, with around-the-clock vigilance, preventing further development.
"Her feeling was that there was a lot of criminal activity and out-right lying that the local and national government was doing to assure these international investors that all was good," Reed says.
Throughout 2013, the group maintained their peaceful position until some major investors pulled out of the project completely. These efforts won Cáceres the 2015 Goldman Environmental Prize for Central and South America. "Of all people I thought she was safer because she had a broader audience, a bigger platform, a larger stage and that she would be much harder for someone to take action against because it wouldn't be easy to hide," Reed says. "And I was wrong."
Honduras saw 101 environmental activists murdered between 2010 and 2014 alone. The country was deemed the most dangerous in the world per capita for such activists by Global Witness, a nonprofit investigating human rights and environmental abuses around the world.
"Since the mid 2000s the governments of the Central American region have been governments in the service of businesses, whose powers lie in foreign businesses and not the authorities that we as citizens elect to serve us," wrote Ibis Colindres, Honduran advisor for Global Greengrants Fund, in an email. "They don't understand why social movements oppose the projects that they want to develop. The governments do very little to guarantee the state of rights of the citizens, and when they emit concessions, they don't apply the international conventions and they disrespect people's rights. It's a situation that provokes social conflicts, and provokes intimidation and threats to those who lead these organizations."
Reed says Cáceres was very aware of the threats to her life and went into hiding several times to protect both herself and her family, including three grown children and one grandchild. But she also wasn't one to back down.
"She felt very strongly that you have to be informed," Reed says. "And you have to stand up for your people and you have to protect your family and your community and your livelihood. That's the way she led her life. She spoke very actively, and ironically more consistently, about the likelihood that she would die at the hands of somebody because of the work she did."
Cáceres continued to fight against the ongoing multi-dam Agua Zarca project until her assassination on March 3.
Twelve days later, her colleague at COPINH, Nelson García, was shot on his way home from working with a Lenca community facing forced eviction by military police. Since then, other international investors have pulled funding for the project amidst increasing international pressure for protection of activists in Honduras as well as an independent investigation into the killings.
"If we don't let [Cáceres] death go, if we just insist on justice, if we insist on shining the light on this, if we insist that it not be swept under the rug and that we get the answers, I think she will feel like she accomplished something, even in her death," Reed says. "That's important, not only for her, but it's important to give the message to the other Bertas out there, that we will pay attention and they are not alone."

Sway is an all electric tilting trike that combines thrill and maneuverability with increased stability and performance. Sway is a comfortable fit and easy ride for anyone, woman or man, who can ride a standard-sized motor scooter.
This video demonstrates the basic capabilities of the Sway Lithium electric trike in an urban environment.Sway Lithium has an estimated price of $7999.
Sway Lithium has a 6 kilowatt (kW) motor, which puts out roughly 8 horsepower. It's around the power of a 125cc gas engine, and means Sway Lithium is categorized as a Motorcycle.This can propel the Sway to a top speed of 55 miles per hour and a maximum range of about 40 miles.
It features a specially designed steering mechanism that allows the scooter to lean through the turns as though it had two wheels.Much like a gas engine, this will depend on how you drive. If you are accelerating hard the whole time or going up steep hills, you will get fewer miles per charge. At 30 mph, the charge can last for 40 miles on Sway Lithium.

I did something amazing the other day. Wait for it… I cycled to Cambridge. I did what, to most people around here comes as second nature. I got on my bike in Histon and weaved my merry way into town. I'm not a natural cyclist (I'm not sure if such a thing exists) and it's only a paltry distance of 4 point something miles, but it's something I probably should be doing, and so for that reason, I donned a helmet and hi-vis and off I went.
The thought of getting on a bike is not a completely alien concept in my life, not as such. There was a bicycle once, somewhere in the dim and distant past. I remember a classy-looking number from my late childhood, early teens. I definitely wanted it, petitioned for it for a birthday or Christmas present even. And no wonder, it was a fine bike: painted burgundy and white, and decked out with a leather seat, and pretty basket to boot. Sadly it languished unloved in the ramshackle passage that ran down the side of the house, alongside the spiders and the scarifier. In honesty, I only recall using it on a handful of occasions. As a parent myself now, I vicariously feel the annoyance that that waste of my parents' money must have caused.
In defence of my younger self, most places I needed to go were very walkable and, if they weren't, then we jumped in the family gas guzzler. There wasn't the same culture of cycling in Solihull in the 80s and 90s, nor clearly the same awareness of climate change. And I would have needed a death wish if I'd have attempted to travel as far as Birmingham on two wheels.
It is probably the fear of climate change that has finally brought me to this point. That after 10 years of living in a cycling-dominated city, without cycling, I feel guilt-ridden enough to hop onto a bike. Don't get me wrong – I'm all for two-wheeled transport and admire those who choose it as their preferred mode of transport, but somehow it just didn't feature for me – and the thought of slotting into the often perilous melee of local traffic without the protection of a shiny metal box, is daunting to say the least.
What really brought matters to a head was the day I accompanied my daughter to Central Cambridge on a youth school strike against climate change. For reasons of speed and convenience and a dozen other feeble excuses I could come out with, I am embarrassed to report that I drove us both into town that day to join in the protest. As the charged-up students yelled out their anti-car slogans, I marched alongside keeping schtum about how we had travelled there. I told myself it wasn't too hideous a betrayal of the crowd's message since I did end up using the trip for a double purpose: to pick up a package I had ordered from John Lewis – which would have been far too large to precariously balance in a bike basket. And there you have it… Activism and capitalism side by side in perfect harmony.
And besides saving the planet there are other motivators to getting me peddling. There are obvious benefits to both my physical and mental health – and perks for my wallet too, in avoiding Cambridge's extortionate parking charges.
They say that you never forget how to ride a bike and, while that may be 98% true when it comes to balancing, peddling and forward momentum, you do tend to forget most of the finer details you may need to safely negotiate the roads in 2019. In my early thirties I took refresher driving lessons because I had gone a long period without using a car, and had lost confidence in my ability to do so. I found it frustrating to be a learner again but the course did at least remind me of the rules of the road and go some way to restoring that missing courage behind the wheel. I'm thinking I may need to tag along to my children's school cycling proficiency classes to become a real Cambridge-ite on a bike.
I did make it to town and back again on my bike that day. I was cautious, probably overly so, and I stopped many times to consider my next route or fiddle with the gears. The bicycle itself was a bargain purchase from a Facebook selling page a year ago. It wouldn't pass muster for Chris Froome – but it did the job for me. I bought what I needed in town and got out of there: no parking charges, no carbon emissions, no trouble. Smug and only just the teensiest bit knackered from the effort.
So I intend to carry on peddling here, there and everywhere. All I need now is a pretty wicker basket attached to my handlebars. That way I'll still be able to cart around all my heavy capitalist goods while basking in my low carbon footprint.

What Donation Form Template Is – and What it Is Not
In some instances, users may want to give an amount which's not on the record of amounts offered in the form. This form can readily be printed. In that case, make certain that you have a look at our guide about how best to take a payment complete here.
The nonprofit's function in the tax deduction way is rather limited. Be certain to have a look at our guide on allowing clients to select their payment method if you need to offer more than 1 payment option. You may now create a donation form with many quantities for users to select from.
If you would like to establish a landing page to improve donations (or a different sort of goal ), I'll cover the five steps that will earn a thriving nonprofit landing page, such as illustrations from nonprofits that have found success. You are able to design a silent auction bid sheet by getting a notion of the format from the several Log Sheet Template which are available online. Fiscal analysis is critical to understand, project business.
Since the free version has a fantastic feature set, it is a sensible option for your training she does, and the several extensions enable you to create sophisticated forms. You may understand that using a document that's pre-designed composing kit is fantastic for organizing and creating any kind of document. You might think organizing a donation form on your site would be a tricky procedure, but there are WordPress plugins such as non-profits that makes it simple.
The templates have a layout that's immensely minimalistic and straightforward. Such templates are given a table arrangement that offers the full structure a very formal and neat appearance. They are ready to work with templates and may be used only after printing.
If you'd like, it's possible to even allow donors to create a donation while they're filling out any other WordPress forms on your website. Thereby, it's a whole record of the donation. When you've created your donation form, you will need to add it upon your website.
In case the site of your nonprofit organization is on WordPress you almost certainly will require aWordPress donation plugin to construct your contribution forms. Besides the tax exemptions, it is likely to also learn to control your possessions even better.
Thus, ysis to see whether you'll come across a tax absolution affidavit to your contributions. Make certain it's simple to spot in your correspondence. This type lets you configure a minumum of a single Stationery for Donation eCards for your website.

A few weeks back Chrissy Amphlett passed away. That sucks. She was awesome. The positive spin on her death is that a lot of people filled a lot of column inches, blogs and webpages talking about precisely how awesome she was; how inspiring and kick ass and feisty; all beautiful things as far as I'm concerned. There were evidently a lot of broken hearts with her passing. But her passing reminded me of another kind of heartache. It reminded me that my first date was to a Divinyls concert in the shitty Canberra entertainment centre. I'd asked a private school girl that I was madly in love with. Her name, spelled backwards, was my computer password. I thought she was amazing and, because she was a private school girl I also thought she must be a different kind of special. She wore a uniform to school! She seemed to bear with her some kind of air of romanticised sophistication and grace and wealth that, thankfully, I stopped caring about very soon after I passed fifteen years of age (to be honest I kinda flipped to the other end of the scale). Anyway, I remember waiting at that shitty entertainment centre, Chrissy Amphlett about to take the stage, nervous as hell, knots in my stomach, not sure what my fucked up teenage body was crying out for, and, as the foyer emptied and I looked down at the grubby carpet and my shuffling anxious jordans, and the space stopped smelling like cigarettes and booze and people and starting smelling like wet dog, I began realising that, shit, I had been stood up. She wasn't coming to the concert with me. No date. I barely knew what the idea of being stood up meant, but the humiliation was keen and cutting. I would be watching Chrissy stomp and sex around on stage on my own. And damn, it hurt, it really hurt. But, I looked down at the carpet, shuffled some more, and I looked at the empty foyer and thought, 'fuck it' and I went into the auditorium anyway. I stood in that half empty auditorium (no Canberra concert was ever full) shuffling awkwardly and feeling the heat of other people who hadn't been stood up or who knew a few more things about girls and romance and dates and love and sex and disappointment and pain. And, then, as now, I decided to just bury how I felt in the sensation of the moment. To just enjoy the fucking concert and to not let it hurt. And that night was as sweet as bush honey for that sudden decision. The lights were brighter, Chrissy was louder and messier and more loveable, the sweat smelled sweeter and the cold night air outside was sharper and darker. So, many, many thanks and RIP, Chrissy Amphlett... you created a sorry-assed romantic with a keen little knife edge. And I don't regret that for a second.

Just a quick note to say: thank fuck the buoy archives are alive again. How I've missed the regular missives. If making films means you stop offering the online wisdoms then I hope all future scripts fail muster as being either 'improbable' or 'illegible'.

Evidence of an "enormous" solar storm that struck Earth thousands of years ago has raised fears that a similar event could happen again.
According to findings published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the ancient storm hit Earth around 2,600 years ago was 10 times stronger than any solar storm detected in the last 70 years — powerful enough to utterly devastate modern electronics.
Even small solar storms in modern times have been known to lead to widespread blackouts in Sweden and Canada.
And although scientists have previously warned about the dangers of solar storms blasting the planet, it has proved difficult to predict where and when they might strike.
To find out how regularly such celestial events happen, researchers from Lund University in Sweden examined ice cores and tree rings to unearth evidence of sun superstorms.
They discovered the planet was zapped with high-energy particles in 660 BC and again in 775 and 994.
For those alive at the time, the only major noticeable effect of the massive solar storms would be that the northern lights would be visible at very low latitudes.
But had such an event occurred in modern times, they would have wiped out power grids, GPS technology and computer networks.
Raimund Muscheler, who was part of the research team, told The Independent: "We don't know the statistics of how often these events occur — but what I would say is that we know it probably happens on a regular basis.
"If that solar storm had occurred today, it could have had severe effects on our high-tech society."
He added: "We must increase protection against solar storms."
In 2012, a huge coronal mass ejection which could have decimated electronics missed the Earth by just nine days.
The event was comparable to the 1859 Carrington Event, in which telegraph operators suffered electric shocks and sparks exploded from pylons.

Went into their archives from December to 'return serve' in the best possible way.
Meanwhile, in the 'Olde Worlde Media' sector, where you pay for content that either
- has been mentioned and discussed to conclusion already, orwe found this headline and story interesting.
- has been generated with a 'barrow to push' and an agenda to drive,
Footy dad charged $18 to take his two-week-old baby to AFL match at Etihad stadium
A DAD who took his two-week-old son to an AFL match at Etihad Stadium was outraged to be told he had to buy an $18 seat ticket for the bub. [The] Point Cook father ... said two different Etihad Stadium staff members told him to buy a seat for son ... even though he was in a bassinet pram.
..."We paid $30 to park at the ground, went to scan our tickets and the girl said, 'Hang on, have you got a ticket for the child?'" he said. "I said, 'He's only two weeks old', and she said, 'It doesn't matter, you have to pay $18 no matter what because they have changed the rules'.
"He said asking parents to pay $18 for babies was "over the top with greed". "They're ruining football for young families," he said.All wonderful 'hot button' quotes in this era of 'variable pricing is killing footy' media bollocks we live in.
The reality is that it is NOT that the AFL are pricing families out of football, but that one stadium owner has not understood the pricing rules, and not trained its staff in the proper protocols.
READ the rest of the article folks...!
All we can say about the 2 week old is...
The article itself... rubbish journalism.
A bad week on the tips, with only 4 tipped correctly
A few more changes to the table, but only minor.
St Kilda and the Bulldogs change back again to where they were 2 weeks ago.
Collingwood re-gain 4th from North Melbourne after both beating them on field, and also winning against the tip.
Port Adelaide also continue to rise. We have them now our 6th best team, but more importantly we expect further elevation in the rankings soon.
They are currently only 32 points off 4th, and have ranking point rises of +30, +37, +28, +45 and +33 over the 5 games this year.
Following on from these squiggly lines that show where teams reach a potential 'premiership window', and further analysis by Damian Little on a similar thread, we now offer a more easily-digestible, uncluttered, single-week view of the teams in the 'premiership window' for 2014.
The principle is this:
- A teams attacking power is used to position them on the Y-axis, using the ratio of their attack relative to the competition average. The more attacking you are, the higher you are plotted.
- A teams defensive strength is used to determine the size of the circle, using the ratio of their defence relative to the competition average. The more defensive you are, the smaller your circle.
- A team positioned above the black line is considered 'inside the premiership window' with teams with the smallest dots having the better chance of winning a premiership.
In this weeks window we rank Geelong as most likely (because of the combination of 'above the line' plus 'smallest bubble'.
They are followed by Port Adelaide, and then Hawthorn and Adelaide.
We will update this regularly through the season.

Our Armenian friend's traditional BBQ is usually stacked to the brim and overflowing with meat. Whilst admitting that it certainly was delicious, it was also rather heavy going. The Armenian BBQ menu offered far less in the way of salad but this was a double Birthday party in the Netherlands and so salads were more prevalent. Watermelons grow in abundance in Armenia too so it's little surprise that melon of one variety or another was a firm favourite on a warm summer day, plus a home-made Armenian Birthday cake and Baklava.

The Photos Really Don't Do it All Justice, But Believe Me Our Stomachs Tried…
You may have guessed that there was something missing from yesterday's post: dessert!
Our Armenian friend outdid herself not just with the main course but also with dessert and it's immediately clear she has real talent for this too.
There were a sort of spice pastry in pin-wheel form pastry pieces of something that involved honey, pastry and fruit and appeared to be rather similar in taste and texture to a Greek Baklava, and a chocolate cake to die for… the photos really don't do it all justice, but believe me our stomachs tried.
I will definitely be trying to get not only the recipes for these but also some cooking lessons from my friend to show me the technique needed to make them.
If I could make a chocolate cake half as stunning as this I'd be delighted, since I'm fairly well know for my less than light cakes, and have only one solitary and rather lonely chocolate cake recipe in my entire cake repertoire.
If my kids ask for a birthday cake it's a choice of my sole chocolate cake recipe or nothing… So far there have been no complaints because they got the heavy adornment of sweets on the top and let's face it, if we are rudely honest, the sweets were the main attraction and my cake was just the excuse for them underneath, but this chocolate cake is a real grown-up show-stopper and it doesn't need sweets on top to make you gasp…

A Delicious Culinary Taste of Armenia…
We went for lunch at friend: "A's" place recently and because our friend is from Armenia, we were served some delicious Armenian culinary treats.
I was too busy enjoying the food to write down that exact Armenian names of some of these dishes, but there were barbecued meats, roasted veggies as well as several other superb offerings.
The cheese was home-made and sent over by "A's" mother, she has round wooden cheese moulds that she makes her cheeses in at home, and it tastes amazing.
Surprisingly for me it's apparently not unusual to have a large plate of fresh herbs on the table, diners take what they fancy and just eat it like a side dish to the rest of the food.
There are also bundles what you should really call "sheets" of flat bread as well as regular "loaf" style breads. Added too are cold meats and salad veggies both au natural and pickled… and all delicious!
Also there is a meat and herb mixture that's rolled up and cooked inside cabbage or grape leaves… this one is to die for and I've begged not just the recipe but also a cooking lesson. Naturally the only thing I didn't try were the mushrooms since I'm allergic to them, but Himself declared them excellent too. Let's take a look…
