Do you have a Facebook business page? If you're stuck in the stone age and are not on social media, millions of digital natives have no way to find you. If you do, you should make sure to do everything right to reach those customers and avoid any behaviors that will annoy them. Keep reading to learn how to come up with a successful Facebook marketing campaign.
Reply to people when they post on your page. This means you should always check your wall for new comments and use the @ symbol before mentioning your brand's name. Make sure to respond to both positive and negative feedback.
Facilitate regular interaction with your followers so you understand their needs and interests. If you have people posting to your page, pay attention to them. The public has often provided marketing inspiration to numerous businesses. Do not neglect your following, as they are the keys to your success.
Facebook needs to be thought of as a place to share with people. Facebook isn't just for chitchat, it can also be a serious content platform. Create your content with this in mind. Write blog posts that are full of useful content and promote your other posts from online on your Facebook page. You will see great results from using Facebook.
Your Facebook page needs to be monitored for spam at all times. There are some filters that can be put into place if you can't monitor your site all of the time. You and your page administer can use it to filter keywords of your choice.
Consider creating a group instead of a page. Launching a group on Facebook may inspire subscribers to start their own community online and interact with one another. Never hesitate to utilize both pages and groups in order to get broad exposure for your offers and updates, and to give users a place to disseminate content of their own.
Would a group better suit your needs than a page would? Groups are like little communities where your fans can interact together. Allow your subscribers to post content on your Facebook page.
Improve the efficiency of your Facebook marketing interface through the use of custom tabs. Tabs will give you the opportunity to organize information on your page. For instance, if you have a contest going, a tab for that can be included.
The first step to success with Facebook marketing is having a solid base of fans. This means you ought not spend lots of money on product promotion until you garner no less than 5,000 fans. The interest in your products will automatically start to skyrocket once that threshold is reached.
Always keep your current customers in mind. A shocking number of people fight to get new likes instead of catering to their current fans. In order to market using Facebook, your audience should feel respected. Doing so gets people engaged to your brand. Therefore, don't neglect these wonderful people.
Always keep your current customers in mind. Some marketers focus on getting new subscribers instead of taking care of their exist audience. Respecting your audience will lead to a successful marketing campaign. This engages your consumers with your brand, so you can't forget who your champions are.
If someone "likes" your page, give them something exclusive. Your page can get a great deal of attention when your page is liked. Try offering something exclusive and free to people for "liking" your page. You could give it out to everyone or just have one winner. If you provide the chance to get something valuable, they will not hesitate to click the button.
If your business wasn't previously on Facebook, you should be inspired to establish a presence now. You should now have all that you need to begin your Facebook marketing campaign. You can continue to make your marketing strategies better and better. Put the above tips to use.
If you only deal with a customer every now and then, you don't need a Facebook page for your business. Your customers appear randomly, so there's no reason for them to follow all your daily posts. As an alternative, consider advertising on Facebook instead.

LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR MD, PhD AND MD-PhD PROGRAMMES | ATTEND AN INFORMATION SESSION
Kwek Swee Sen (MD-PhD Entering 2012 Class)
Swee Sen (center) with his classmates
Tell us about your path to Duke-NUS.
I graduated from University of Wisconsin-Madison with a Bachelor of Science in Medical Microbiology and Immunology in 2011. While I was in UW-Madison, I spent 2.5 years in the lab of Professor Shannon Kenney, an Infectious Diseases doctor who also has a laboratory working on lytic reactivation of Epstein-Barr virus in associated malignancies. After graduation, I returned to Singapore and worked as a Research Officer in Singapore Immunology Network under Dr. Katja Fink, looking at B cell development and also the role of natural killer cells in Dengue virus infection. Inspired by clinician-scientists like Prof. Kenney, I applied to the MD-PhD program at Duke-NUS and joined the school in 2012.
How did you come to know about Duke-NUS and what made you apply?
My experiences in UW-Madison got me thinking hard about coming to medical school. Pursuing an undergraduate degree that focused a lot on how microorganisms cause diseases made me consider if I could make use of that knowledge to help people more directly. I had always been interested in research so an MD-PhD program was the perfect combination for me to be trained in both Medicine and Science. A relatively young school at that time with a unique curriculum, Duke-NUS promised many new exciting developments and I saw an opportunity to mature with the school and the budding MD-PhD program. Furthermore, being able to pursue the MD-PhD program while being closer to my family in Singapore made Duke-NUS the perfect choice.
You have been in the PhD component of the programme for a few years now, would you share what your research is about?
I am pursuing my PhD in the Emerging Infectious Diseases program under the mentorship of Professor Ooi Eng Eong. I started my PhD journey looking at developing a novel method for identifying live attenuated flavivirus vaccine candidates. Members of the flavivirus family include Dengue and Zika viruses which are very relevant to Singapore and many parts of the world. With the Zika virus outbreak in the Americas, we switched our focus to Zika virus. We now have a better grasp of its biology and have identified potential vaccine candidates. Vaccines are much needed to protect the many vulnerable populations around the world against Zika virus infections and its associated sequelae.
What are some of your interests and hobbies?
I have always liked watching anime and putting together Gundam models but these days, I would be happy to catch up on sleep and my readings. I am also trying to adopt a more active lifestyle by going for jogs and swims.
Would you share a great experience or opportunity you've had at Duke-NUS?
I think being part of the MD-PhD program has been a tremendously exciting experience. While my MD-PhD batchmates and I went through the bittersweet experience of our MD classmates graduating, we know that we are looking at carving a clinician-scientist career path we are determined to pursue. The MD-PhD program has evolved from its nascent form at the time I joined to one that ensures we are given opportunities to develop as future clinician-scientists. During our PhD training, we are trained to understand the rigors of scientific research and think as scientists. At the same time, we now have bedside teachings and clinical electives to maintain our clinical skills and knowledge. Even though both Medicine and Science have steep learning curves, I am thrilled (although overwhelmed at times) to be given the honor to pursue both at the same time.

Ink & Pixel: Hotel Transylvania 2
Ink & Pixel is a source of pride and joy for me as a writer and as such, I'm always striving to take this column further for those who read and enjoy it. In an effort to widen the reach of our continuously growing fan-base, Ink & Pixel has broadened its horizons with the inclusion of films from the Horror, Sci-Fi, Action-Adventure, and Fantasy genres. Additionally, if you yourself, or anyone you know, helped to make any of the amazing feature films found within this column, I would love to talk to you to further my knowledge. Please contact me at [email protected] so we can discuss it further.
Ahhhh … Autumn is finally here in New York, my friends! If you listen closely as the wind blows, you'll hear the soothing sound of dead leaves rattling in the breeze. If you breath deeply, you'll catch the intoxicating aroma of wood burning against an open flame. For us, Halloween is just a few weeks away, and the time has come to place the finishing touches on this year's costume of choice. Where I come from, October is the time to stay in, take in a horror movie marathon, and give thanks to all the creatures that go bump in the night.
I thought we'd try a little something different this week. Rather than focus solely on the film at hand, might I suggest that we take a hard look at two of the film's characters and their real-life histories as well? Sound good? Nice. Because when it comes to such classic monsters as the vampire, werewolf, mummy, and other gruesome ghouls of film and fiction, there is undoubtedly a lot to dissect. So please, join me as we take a look back at HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 2, and the many horrors that roam its hallowed halls.
Directed by Russian filmmaker, Genndy Tartakovsky, HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 2 is a 3D computer animated horror-comedy released in 2015 by Columbia Pictures. Written by long-time collaborative duo, Robert Smigel and Adam Sandler, this sequel to the questionably received but lucrative original would make a fine addition to your October Watch List. The second theatrical installment of this spooktacular franchise stars Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg, Selena Gomez, Kevin James, Steve Buscemi, David Spade, and the legendary Mel Brooks. What's that? You say that's not enough star power for one film? What if I told you that Keegan-Michael Key, Fran Drescher, Molly Shannon, Megan Mullally, Nick Offerman, Dana Carvey, and Rob Riggle were also a part of this animated monster mash?
The story of HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 2 takes place 7 years after the 2012 original. At the start of this sequel, Mavis, Dracula's only daughter, marries her human fiance, Johnny. Shortly thereafter, Mavis becomes pregnant with what Drac can only hope is a pure blood vampire. Though things take a turn for the curious when, after the little guy is born, he shows no immediate signs of "popping his fangs". As time marches on, Mavis begins having second thoughts about raising her son, Dennis, while remaining in Transylvania. Drac, terrified at the thought of his family moving away, quickly hatches a scheme to make living outside the hotel walls look like a bad idea.
The plan is to have Johnny (who wants to stay put) take Mavis away for the weekend to visit her in-laws. While there, Drac and his friends will do their best to scare the fangs out of Dennis. If all goes as intended, the young vamp-to-be will have made his full transformation to vampirism by the time his parents return. Essentially, Drac figures that with Dennis having gone full-monster, it will be easier to convince Mavis to stay. That being said, this is a comedy, and you can bet your entire stash of this year's Halloween candy that plenty will go wrong before the sun begins to rise.
In taking a look at the colorful cast of characters from the HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA franchise, you'll find that it's not just the classic movie monsters that fill Dracula's elaborate manor with drool, slime, and moans of despair. In keeping your peepers peeled, you're bound to notice the likes of living skeletons, mer-people, demons, and hordes of the living dead. And although I'd love to systematically scrutinize them all, I think it best if we remain focused on just two of the more popular panic-inducing beasties.
Let's begin with his eternal fanginess, Dracula. Commonly referred to as the Lord of the Vampires, Dracula was a character featured and popularized by the 1897 Gothic horror novel DRACULA by Irish author Bram Stoker. Throughout the years, this blood-sucking bandit of the night has appeared in countless motion pictures throughout most of our cinematic history. Some would say that it all began with F. W. Murnau's 1922 German Expressionist horror film, NOSFERATU: A SYMPHONY OF HORROR – which at the time served as an unauthorized adaptation of Stoker's novel. Though perhaps the more popular debut for the character was in 1931, when Bela Lugosi flashed his fangs in the Tod Browning and Karl Freund directed DRACULA.
Since that time, Dracula has managed to creep through the shadows and into films like: HOUSE OF DRACULA, VAMPIRA, THE MONSTER SQUAD, BLADE: TRINITY, and much more! The concept for Dracula dates back to the medieval times, or as some would suggest, to a time when the gods of Norse Mythology ruled both above as well as below. Today, there are groups of individuals who fancy themselves as real-live vampires – stating that a rare disease introduced to the human immune system during the Black Plague had somehow been passed to a select few throughout the generations. In addition to the belief that an endogeneous retrovirus which causes true vampirism to naturally flow through their veins, some carriers of the disease have altered their lives to live by the code of their unique heritage. This can include the drinking of blood, avoidance of daylight, and participation in erotic practices where "victims" willingly allow themselves to be fed upon. It's a lifestyle with a lofty upkeep for sure, but who am I to judge?
Next, we have European folklore's full-moon menace, the werewolf. The belief in an affliction known as lycanthropy developed during the Late Middle Ages, spreading almost in unison with the growing notion of witchcraft. If you were unfortunate enough to be bitten (or in some cases scratched) by a person who is carrying the mythical condition, it was said that the victim would then transform into a ferocious beast while under the light of a full moon. Of course, proof of the existence of true werewolves has been a difficult matter throughout the course of history. Clinical Lycanthropy however, is most certainly a real thing. It's a psychiatric condition actually, one that involves the patient experiencing an elaborate delusion in which they're convinced that they already have or will soon transform into a supernatural wolf-like monstrosity.
In regard to the silver screen, it was in 1935 when Kentucky-born director, Stuart Walker, shot WEREWOLF OF LONDON that gave us our first lycanthrope in film. Though it wasn't until 1941, when George Waggner presented us with THE WOLF MAN - starring Lon Chaney Jr. as the sacrilegious shape-shifter. As a part of the Universal Monsters brand, Waggner's version of the man-turned-wolf served as an inspiration for several other werewolf-related pictures in the years to come. Personally, the werewolf is my favorite of Universal's pantheon of classic creatures. Part of the reason why is that I find their condition to be quite tragic. More often than not, individuals suffering from lycantropy have had the condition thrust upon them by circumstance. Though what it really comes down to is this - I really dig a gruesome werewolf transformation, the more painful the better, I say.
Thankfully, Hollywood has treated us to some inspired transformation sequences throughout the years. Not that this is any sort of definitive list, but some of my favorite full-moon-freakouts can be found in such films as: GINGER SNAPS, AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON, THE COMPANY OF WOLVES, THE HOWLING, and Netflix own HEMLOCK GROVE.
Despite a smattering of lukewarm reviews, HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 2 managed to drain a total of $473,226,958 from the wallets of parents across the world. Not only is that a respectable sum, I'd wager that total becomes particularly impressive when you consider that the film was made using a budget of just $80 million. About a year ago, director of the first two films, Genndy Tartakovsky stated that, "HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 3 is going to happen without me. Two is enough. I have a lot of other ideas, and I kind of have to express them and have them come out." Well, it seems that a lot can change in a year's time, given that Tartakovsky was recently confirmed to direct the next installment of the franchise.
Okay, here it comes. Now, I'm well aware that dog-piling on Sandler and his friends is all the rage these days, but I'm not about to do that. I like the HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA movies. That's right, I said it. In fact, I enjoy them a lot. For me, Sandler's decent into lazy paint-by-numbers comedy is very clear. First, there were the salad days, a time in which we were treated to such juvenile gems as BILLY MADISON, HAPPY GILMORE, and THE WEDDING SINGER. Not long after that, things took a turn for the offensively worse with cinematic stinkers like MR. DEEDS, ANGER MANAGEMENT, and I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU CHUCK AND LARRY. These days, films like PIXELS, THE RIDICULOUS 6, and THE DO-OVER aren't worth the hard drive space it takes to store a single frame of their fart jokes and abhorrent racial profiling.
All of that said, the HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA films are visually polished, occasionally well written films that - if you pay attention to their subtext - are better than anything the Sandler-lead ensemble cast of comedians have done in years. I dig Dracula's over-protective nature toward his only-daughter, Mavis. As a father who has lost his partner-in-parenting, Drac displays an affection for his "honey bat" that I find refreshing. All too often are parents absent from their child's adventures on screen, and so I appreciate the importance placed on making this family film about just that – family.
Aside from much of the more familial aspects of the film, there's also a fair amount of laughs to be had. Whether it's Drac's apathy for the ways in which time has changed the world, a clever jab at the very nature of the monsters who come to stay at the hotel, or the not-so-subtle social commentary pertaining to creatures living among humankind – a lot of what these films have to offer lands for me personally. Am I saying these movies are perfect? Hell no. There's plenty of groan-inducing moments, too. However, and especially in the case of HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 2, I feel as if the good far outweighs the bad. Enjoy your October, folks, and I'll see you in two weeks with yet another spooky installment.

Driving towards Bayswater brought back bittersweet memories of my early days in Melbourne. For one, I recalled dreading to wake up every morning despite feeling blessed to have actually set foot alright here. Moving forth, I never did pass this area again after I commenced work at a different site.
The cafe was rather busy for an Easter sunday and were lucky enough to be seated rather quickly. Our eyes were equally spoilt by the tempting array of baked goods on display at the front counter.
Do yourself a favour and have piece (or two!)
I suppose the biggest let down in my books were the beverages but aside from that, it is a decent little cafe hidden in the heart of Bayswater. Hello old memories :p

Ban Ki-moon a pushover on first day of job
January 3, 2007
New UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon, began his new tenure cautiously on Tuesday. When asked for comment, the Secretary General did not criticize Iraq's death by hanging of Saddam Hussein.
"The issue of capital punishment is for each and every member state to decide," said Ban, inviting speculation on the UN's position on the death penalty.
It is widely known that the oraganization officially opposes the death penalty. Ban's new spokesperson, Michele Montas, was quick to label Ban's comments as his "own nuance" on the issue and not a change of policy at the UN.
In his remarks on Hussein, the Secretary General stated that the former Iraqi president was responsible for "heinous crimes and unspeakable atrocities against Iraqi people."
Interestingly enough, Ban did not say anything about Hussein not being tried for all of his crimes and that his second trial had not been completed. After all, Hussein's death sentence was for relatively small incidents — considering his track record — in the city of Dujail. Those incidents, of course, were not minor, but one would expect a verdict on his use of chemical weapons and his comportment during the Iran-Iraq war. Yet Hussein was sentenced in a limited (Dujail only) and flawed trial, which has been criticized by Human Rights Watch and by a UN group.
As far as the UN position on the capital punishment is concerned, the policy is clear: no matter the degree of the crime, the organization does not support the death penalty. Ban's comments made it seem like the death penalty was the just thing to do. In effect, Ban's logic almost removes the UN policy, because the Secretary General simply refuses to voice it.
Is this the direction of the so-called "new UN"? While the organization has been criticized in the past (and has often faced scrutiny from the US), this does not mean that Ban must be a pushover. One of the strengths of having the UN as an International Organization, is the alternative voice it provides to the realpolitik rationale that often guides state decisions.
The UN's policy is idealistic — Ban's South Korea and Bush's US will not change their laws on capital punishment because of the UN — but this does not mean that Ban must ignore it. As an ambassador of the UN, he must represent the policies of the organization. If he wants to change them, he should be transparent about them.
Instead, Ban simply left it to Michele Montas to spin his flop by calling it his "own nuance." What is that supposed to mean anyway?
January 7, 2006. UPDATE 1: Ban Ki-moon's comments this weekend differed from earlier in the week. The UN Secretary General has asked that Iraq postpone the execution of two Saddam Hussein aides, indicating that he is more in line with official UN policy.
Hussein Trial, a failure
November 29, 2006
After the recent severe criticism of Saddam Hussein's trial by Human Rights Watch, experts at the United Nations have come to similar conclusions. A UN group studying arbitrary detention has deemed the trial flawed and has called Hussein's detention illegal.
The group released its statement yesterday because it believes Hussein's death penalty must be readdressed due to procedural inconsistencies throughout the trial.
This is not welcome news to the new Iraqi government, which oversaw the Saddam Hussein's trial. The first significant judicial case executed under this government has now been criticized by two major organizations, one of which is an NGO, the other an IO; with time, more similar reports may be published. This is part of the reason that Iraqi PM Maliki has already stated that Hussein may be hanged by the end of 2006. The Iraqi government knows the trial was illegitimate and it wants to move on.
This is also not welcome news for the US, as it has ostensibly been supporting an Iraqi government which does not conform to standards of democratic behavior. If the US went into Iraq to bring democracy to the region, then the mission has certainly not been accomplished.
Will Russia Swerve on Iran?
November 10, 2006
Russia has reportedly come to an agreement with the US in regards to the county's entrance into the WTO. The obvious question now is what has Russia given up in terms of its foreign policy to obtain the US go-ahead. Currently, the biggest disagreement between the two states are the Iranian sanctions to be discussed at the UN Security Council; the initially-proposed sanctions were edited and weakened by Russia to reflect Russia's partnership with Iran.
Today, Iranian negotiator Ali Larijani was in talks in Moscow to persuade Russia not to steer away from its position. The Iranians, of course, need the support of Moscow as it is virtually its sole diplomatic ally for the nuclear program. However, the WTO may be a significant incentive for Russia to alter its stance — the country has been trying to enter the trade organization for years. On the other hand, the Russians are building Iran's first nuclear power plant in Bushehr, an $800 million project. If the project is successful, the Russians stand to gain more contracts in the country.
In fact, it's almost advantageous to be the sole supporter of the nuclear program and have a monopoly on similar contracts.
North Korea Under Watch
October 29, 2006
Gathering Intelligence
Since the October 9 nuclear test, the world has been waiting for the next step from North Korea.
More reports have surfaces that the US and South Korea have been monitoring a North Korean test site, to determine if the North was planning a second test or not. In the meantime, it is also reported that North Korea has stepped up efforts to prevent any possible intelligence leaks, as early as October 15.
Ban Ki-moon in China
UN Secretary General-elect (and North Korea's current foreign minister), Ban Ki-moon was in China this weekend to discuss bilateral relations. It was hoped that some progress on the denuclearization of Korea could be accomplished with this visit. So far, no announcements have been made.
UN Secretary General-elect off to Beijing
October 27, 2006
BBC reports that the UN Secretary General-elect (and South Korea's current foreign minister), Ban Ki-moon, is on his way to Beijing for talks with Chinese officials.
The topic of nuclear proliferation will certainly be talked about as China is committed to resuming the 6-party nuclear negotiations with North Korea. Prior to his departure for Beijing, the diplomat said: "I intend to seek an active role for the peaceful resolution of the North Korean nuclear issue."
And now, we wait. Some positive announcements are possible this weekend.

Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney closing in on Everton: Negotiations progressing
MANCHESTER UNITED captain Wayne Rooney is reportedly edging 'closer and closer' a return to Everton.
The 31-year-old looks set to call time on his Old Trafford career this summer, having struggled for game time under Jose Mourinho.
Rooney's form has deteriorated, and with the likes of Antoine Griezmann, Romelu Lukaku and Andrea Belotti being targeted to strengthen United's attack, there does not appear to be room for the skipper.
The Red Devils' all-time top scorer is contracted at Old Trafford until 2019.
However, the idea of a move to China was explored in February, and a departure now appears inevitable.
According to TransferMarketWeb, Rooney may well be staying in the Premier League and rejoining boyhood club Everton.
Ronald Koeman has expressed his admiration of the England star repeatedly during the season.
Wayne Rooney could finally return to Everton and end his 13-year Manchester United career
With Romelu Lukaku and Ross Barkley potentially both leaving Goodison Park this summer, a move for Rooney could be funded.
Manchester United and Chelsea are battling it out for Everton's hitman.
And reports have even suggested the Red Devils may offer Rooney to Everton in a bid to sign Lukaku.
Barkley, meanwhile, will be sold if he decides not to sign a new contract.
The sales of Romelu Lukaku and Ross Barkley could fund Wayne Rooney's return to Everton
Everton would reinvest some of the money made from Lukaku and Barkley to offer Rooney an acceptable salary
TransferMarketWeb add Everton would reinvest some of the money made from Lukaku and Barkley to offer Rooney an acceptable salary.
It is said the Toffees are working hard on negotiations with the United forward's entourage.
Should Wayne Rooney be willing to decrease his wages slightly, he may move back to Everton, the club he left for United in 2004.

Last year during Ganesh Chaturthi visarjan , Ritu Shah , a resident of Bengaluru, saw many people,in the name of visarjan,throwing Ganesha idols, without showing any respect.It did not go down well with Ritu and her husband."People purchase pristine,spotless and beautiful idols, for 3 days they take utmost care,do puja and then on the 4th day they go out and dump it with disdain", says Ritu.
Amidst all these, they also noticed that most of the idols were made from PoP(Plaster of Paris) and covered in artificial chemical paints.Ritu along with her husband started to think about this issue, which arises every year.They found out, people were not aware that they can even immerse the idols at their own house after doing puja.So, they started the awareness campaign with a dual motive of not only popularising clay ganesha but also its disposal techniques.
Ritu and her husband went to Narayanapura, a village near Bengaluru and identified five families of artisans who were pretty good in making eco friendly idols.They partnered with these artisans ."People are too lazy to go to villages to buy the idols,so,we thought of procuring the idols ourselves from the villages and selling it to the people", says Ritu.
"But our main motive was only to create an awareness and not to earn money from it",says Ritu. "There are already many people who sell clay Ganesha Idols,so,our main aim was not only to provide eco friendly Ganesha idols , but also to make buyers aware of the visarjan process – that they can immerse the clay idols in their own ponds or tanks or in a bucket of water,which can later be used for watering or growing plants,to symbolise the cycle of creation and dissolution in nature."
"Every year after the Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations, devotees not only clog water bodies across the country by dumping millions of PoP idols, but also make them inhabitable.PoP idols are very harmful for our environment .They are not considered as eco friendly.The Idols made out of PoP contain harmful chemicals", says Ritu.
PoP Idols contain toxic chemicals like Gypsum,sulphur,phosphorus and magnesium and are painted with chemical paints which contains mercury lead and cadmium.When the PoP idols are immersed in water bodies , they make the water bodies toxic , and make them unfit for living organisms.The increased toxics in water destroys marine life and leads to harmful bodily health problems.
In days of yore,devotees used to make Ganesha idols from the clay procured from their own backyard.But after the advent of PoP, this became a preferred choice, since PoP idols are cheaper, less fragile, easier to transport and come with multiple sizes.PoP idols are also a preferred choice for sculptors, because they are not only cheaper to produce due to easy availability of synthesized plaster of Paris, devotees too prefer them because of their trendiness,intricate design and details. There is also a dearth of skilled clay artisans.Clay craftsmen make around 10 clay idols per day whereas PoP craftsmen churn out around 30 idols per day.The mould rate for clay idols are at a higher side as compared to the PoP idols.So,most of the sculptors prefer PoP over clay.
Last year, Ritu and her husband, were taking orders directly from their own website and were shipping the idols pan India .Though they were successful in their attempt , they had to spend a lot on the packaging and also incurred heavy losses on shipping. So,for the time being they have limited their sales only to bangalore and have stopped shipping out .They are now selling and creating awareness by participating in flea markets.
We wish Ritu and her husband further success in this noble endeavour, and trust that they will be able to achieve the goal they have set out to do.
And we hope , when you go to the market next year, you will bring home ,an eco friendly clay ganesha and immerse it at your home.

Mechanical Engineering Department, Carnegie-Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pa.
Chemical interaction between the work material and the abrasive plays an important role in grinding. This will be more so in hot grinding. In this paper a novel experimental setup to study the wear and performance of various abrasives in hot grinding (up to ≈ 1000° C) is described. An oxy-acetylene torch under the work material is used as the heat soruce. Initial results on the performance of two commonly used abrasives, namely aluminum oxide and silicon carbide in simulated hot grinding of a cobalt base superalloy at 1000° C are presented using a scanning electron microscope. The results are compared with similar ones obtained at room temperature for the same combination of work material and abrasive. The results indicate that while silicon carbide wears more than aluminum oxide at room temperature, the reverse was found to be the case at high temperature. Also, the mode of wear and the nature of buildup were found to be different. In hot grinding, wear of aluminum oxide was found to involve the continuous release of micron sized crystallites while the formation of whiskers of silicon carbide was associated with the wear of silicon carbide. Buildup on aluminum oxide as metal was invariably found at room temperature while a uniform reaction product was present at high temperature.

Developing yourself is indeed something that you must always do in life. That way, you can make yourself a better person. Unfortunately, there are still many people who don't know what they are for and their purpose. So, therapy and healing from ayahuascahealings.com/ will really help those who feel like that, including you.
Apparently, there are some things that can make you not develop, like for example
1. Feeling enough with the knowledge you already have
You feel your journey is far enough and will soon be able to reach all dreams. So that the current knowledge no longer needs to be added. This kind of thinking that can make you fail to step into the last step. You must be able to thirst for knowledge so that you can continue to grow even if you succeed later.
2. Can't beat laziness
Lazy may be humanity's biggest enemy. Relaxing and allowing yourself to feel the beauty of life before succeeding will only waste your time in vain.

Customer Reviews

Like house parties, massages give people an excuse to forget about everyday stresses and fall asleep on someone else's table. Attend a fettle-ready fiesta with today's Groupon to Breathe Massage & Wellness in Hampton. Choose between the following options:
- For $37, you get a 60-minute Swedish massage (a $75 value).
- For $42, you get an 80-minute liquid body massage (an $85 value).<p>
The licensed massage therapists at Breathe Massage & Wellness pair body-pampering services with holistic care that strives to calm minds as much as muscles. Healing hands relieve layers of stress with the sweeping strokes and power-pop ballads that compose traditional Swedish massage, sending waves of relaxation rolling through the neck, shoulders, and back. Designed to restore muscle vigor, the liquid body massage aims to simulate the sensation of falling water with slow, fluid kneads that glide upon a layer of warm olive oil. While aromatherapeutic scents soothe nostrils, heated stones align with the body's energy centers and orbiting satellites to melt tight sinews, ease anxiety, and lower blood pressure.
Clients find Breathe Massage's studio on the second story of a repurposed home in historic Phoebus, where the vestiges of a fireplace, elegant crown molding, and paneled ceilings hint at its former use. For an additional $7 or a handful of magic beans, Groupon holders may also enhance their sojourn with the addition of reflexology, aromatherapy, or accupressure therapy.

Betray: (v) to expose one's country, a group, or a person to danger by treacherously giving information to an enemy.
Calling someone a "judas" is assuming that you're the Christ.
Most people aren't Judas–and I dare say, the Christ is yet to be duplicated.
The betrayals that happen in life are much simpler, less vicious, but ultimately just as aggravating.
Yet betrayal is always foretold in the actions of those who pursue such indignity.
Betrayers always:
1. Feel cheated.
If you want to avoid betraying others, never allow yourself to believe that you have been relegated to some position where you have no voice or ability to rise.
2. "I have a better idea."
None of us are sure we have a better idea until those assertions are put into practice and all the flaws pop to the surface. But every betrayer is convinced that he or she is preferable to those who have been granted the position.
3. "Since no one will listen to me, I will take matters into my own hands."
It is a sad situation when we believe that our opinion is ignored or we are so deluded that we have no desire to share our thoughts because we've already decided that those around us are truly our enemies.
If you allow these three things to come into your life, you will betray.
And once you betray, you will find yourself very alone … at the end of your rope.
Thank you for enjoying Words from Dic(tionary) — J.R. Practix

Spring is finally showing up here in the North. Sunday I enjoyed a beautiful 75 degree day. I wish Saturday could have been the same. It was my first race of the year. Here we are almost May and I've done one. I partly blame it on our horrible Polar Vortex winter and just lack of desire. Even without the Polar Vortex cold death suck, I've been dealing with a finicky IT band on my left side. Any time I run over two miles I start getting a sharp annoying pain on the outside of my left knee. It comes and goes throughout the run. I had signed up for the Hot Chocolate 15k back in November when I thought I would still be doing RNR Nashville. As the Saturday drew closer I sat on the fence about actually running it. It was past the window where I could drop to the 5k and given variables, I just felt eh. Thankfully, I had the ever present peer pressure because my friend was also doing it as part of her marathon training. Despite my best effort to talk myself out, I just kept talking myself into it because the swag, bragging rights and knowing how much better a race is when you have someone else out there pushing you.
I looked at the course before the race. I was familiar with the course because it was running along the river here in the Cities. Coincidentally, this is my closest running trail because it makes for easy out and backs. The terrain, well let's just say it isn't easy. Here, running the river means hills, bridges, wind and random obstacles(bikers). Luckily after the big hills often it evens off for a bit.I talked myself into it knowing I was familiar enough and could handle it.
Race day, well that was a different story. The wind was bitter, wicked and reminded me of running this winter. It whipped right into your face announcing it's presence. Three bridges, four hills and one near crying break later, I crossed the finish line with a time that surprised me. The course was farther than I thought and included one giant hill that even during normal runs I try to avoid. It is probably for the best I got confused while reading the map, otherwise I would have quit when my knee started acting up. It wasn't my fastest time, but it also wasn't my worst (I'm looking at you San Diego!).
Overall, I'm glad I went out and did it. I wasn't sore at all the next day minus the nagging knee pain. My body felt fine during the race. It confirms to me that I don't need to put in heavy mileage as long as I'm active in other ways. While I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else, I'm happy my own conditioning isn't destroyed. I'm now looking forward to my half marathon at the end of May in Virginia. Oddly enough that is another beverage themed race with it being the Virginia Wine Country Half. If this is my theme for 2014, I will take it.
If you have an opportunity to do a Hot Chocolate race, I would recommend it. They are well organized, decently priced and the swag is pretty decent.

Hello All! Today, I'm going to share my Project 365 Details. Basically, I will be taking at least one photo a day and working to improve my photography skills. That is not all I'm going to be doing as I really plan to push myself this year. Already, reflecting and thinking about my goals has really led me to understand what I want to work on this year both professionally and personally. So, here are some of the logistics.
*I haven't yet figure out how I want to share these photos. Do I want to create a gallery on my website, create a separate Instagram Account for them, or use some other online gallery.
*I don't think I will be able to cull and edit photos daily as I get back to work. I will take a photo daily that is for sure. If need be, I will edit the photos on a weekly basis.
*I'm going to be documenting One Little Word and this project in my traveler's notebook. Pulling my favorite photos monthly and adding them in with some notes about the photos I've chosen.
*I also bought these cute little notebooks from Clique Kits to use for notes and ideas. They're small and easy to take anywhere.
As soon as I figure out my gallery situation, I'll share it here. Have a great day!

3 Reasons Sweets are the Perfect Corporate Business Gift
Written by Healthy Eater. Posted in Corporate business gift, Online cookie delivery, Wedding cookie favors
The holiday season is an exciting and happy time filled with gift-giving and general joy. When you get older and start a career in the "real world" one of the things you might be expected to do is come up with corporate business gifts for bosses and coworkers. It's one of those unwritten rules, sure no ones going to tel you you have to do it, but it sure can't hurt your popularity around the office.
Coming up with an appropriate and appreciated corporate business gift has become increasingly difficult in today's world where many people look for a reason to get offended or reason to complain in general. That's why sweets, such as cookie gift baskets, make for a perfect option for your corporate business gift. Here are three reasons to consider it if you haven't bought anything yet.
- History: The act of giving sweets has a long-standing history in many parts of the world. For example, since the 1930s, children have left cookies and milk on a table for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve in Canada and the United States. The chocolate chip cookie is over 75 years old and Americans alone consume over 2 billion cookies a year.
- Cost-Effective: Finding the sweet spot when it comes to the price you should spend on a gift can be hard as well. Gourmet cookie baskets allow you to spend just enough to say 'I care' without breaking the bank on people you may not know outside of work.
- Popular: Estimates suggest cookies are consumed in 95.2% of U.S. households. If you happen to stumble upon someone who doesn't appreciate your gift, they're definitely in the minority. Chances are even if someone doesn't necessarily like them themselves they'll have kids or a spouse that will happily enjoy your tasty corporate business gift idea.

Buzzards Bay Coalition's 12th annual Buzzards Bay Watershed Ride is one month away, and cyclists who want to take action for clean water by biking 35, 75 or 100 miles through some of southeastern New England's most beautiful coastal scenery on Sunday, Sept. 30, can register at savebuzzardsbay.org/ride.
Hundreds of riders of all ages and abilities participate in the ride each year, pedaling around the bay to raise funds for the coalition's work to protect clean water in communities from Little Compton in Rhode Island to Woods Hole on the Cape. Each rider raises a minimum of $300, but many participants and teams set more ambitious fundraising goals. Last year, cyclists and their supporters raised more than $158,000 to support the coalition's work on education, advocacy, research and conservation in SouthCoast communities.
Leslie Knowles of Dartmouth has supported the event since its inception.
"I've come back to the watershed ride every year because I love to bike and I love Buzzards Bay," Knowles said in a news release. "Everything about the ride is nicely organized and the party overlooking the water at the end is great."
The 100-mile course starts in Little Compton at 8 a.m., followed by the 75-mile course from Horseneck Beach in Westport at 9 a.m. and, finally, the 35-mile course from East Over Farm in Rochester starts at noon. All three routes meet up for lunch in Rochester and again in Woods Hole for a spirited after-party with beer, wine, al fresco dinner, and live music and awards. With a lunch stop, water and snack stations, and on-the-road repair technicians and transport, all riders are fully supported during the event, according to the release.
Registered and prospective riders are invited to join two free upcoming training rides. On Sunday, Sept 9, 9 a.m., Fairhaven Bikeways Committee member Geoff Smith is scheduled to lead a 30-mile loop from Fort Phoenix beach in Fairhaven to East Over farm in Rochester and back. Then on Saturday, Sept. 15, 9 a.m., coalition staff member Maureen Thomas leads a 27-mile looping tour of Falmouth that starts and ends in Woods Hole to help celebrate "The Sea Around Us" weekend festival in honor of Rachel Carson. To sign up for a training ride preview of the Buzzards Bay Watershed Ride, visit savebuzzardsbay.org/events.
The ride is sponsored by Hutker Architects, Amica Insurance, Anderson Insulation, First Citizens' Federal Credit Union and Fiber Optic Center.

WASHINGTON — The top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee said there was no proof so far of collusion between Russia and Donald Trump's campaign, as Congress geared up for a week of high drama highlighted by the testimony of former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey.
"Listen, there's a lot of smoke. We have no smoking gun at this point," Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia said on CNN. "But there is a lot of smoke."
As congressional Republican leaders begin a push to produce a legislative accomplishment before an August recess knowing the window of opportunity is closing, a series of hearings into possible Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election — and other challenges that have beset the Trump administration — threaten to derail their plans.
On Wednesday, the director of national intelligence, Dan Coats, and the director of the National Security Agency, Adm. Mike Rogers, will appear before Warner's committee. On Thursday, Comey is expected to tell the same panel that Trump asked him to back off an investigation of former national-security adviser Michael Flynn.

I have mentioned the pistachio loaf cake several times in my blog as this is a good favourite to bake and honestly thought that I have uploaded this recipe! However, i couldn't find this in my blog entries as my friend, Rozzy has requested this so here it is for you!!!
This recipe is from the Hummingbird Bakery – 'Cake Days' book and it is such a simple cake to make and lovely and moist! 🙂
Ingredients for the sponge:
- 190g unsalted butter softened
- 190g plain flour
- 190g caster sugar
- 3 x eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Quarter tsp salt
- 25ml soured cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 100g shelled pistachios roughly chopped
For the glaze:
- 120g icing sugar
- 40g ground pistachios (use the food processor)
- Preheat the oven to 170c or GM3 and grease the loaf tin with butter and dust with flour
- Using a hand-held electric whisk or freestanding electric mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time making sure all the ingredients are mixed together.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and add this to the mixture in two batches on a low speed. Then add the soured cream and vanilla extract and stir the chopped pistachios by hand.
- Pour this batter into the loaf tin and bake for 50 to 60 mins or until the sponge feels firm to touch and your skewer inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the loaf to cool and turn out onto a wire rack to cool down fully before adding the glaze.
- For the glaze, mix the icing sugar in a bowl with 2 x tablespoon of water and mix together to form a running paste. If the glaze is too thick, add more water to thin it but a little at a time. Stir in the ground pistachios and keep a small amount aside to sprinkle on top. Pour this over the cooled loaf and sprinkle the remaining pistachios. Enjoy with a nice cup of tea! 🙂

Ubtan is a mixture of sandalwood powder, haldi (turmeric), besan milk & milk cream. We all know about it. It's our forefather skin care tip. It has been used especially by "brides". They start applying ubton some months before their wedding.
Ubtan is a Hindi name for any kind of beauty mask/pack. Please understand people, it's not a name for anything particular, but it means a mixture of home made things which make you beautiful. In earlier days turmeric was used widely hence most of beauty masks had yellow color and all of them have different ingredients and different properties.
It is just a name, some of the very old recipes for masks are still called ubtan. So if you have any recipe which uses turmeric/ chickpea flour and it is very old that can be called ubtan.
Ubtan is mostly applied on face, left till dried and then gently removed with fingers moving in circular motion.
Full Body Ubtan Formula (for general beauty massage):
- 4 tablespoons chickpea flower
- 2 tablespoons mustard or almond oil
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon fenugreek powder
- 1 teaspoon wheat-germ oil

Early labor started the Tuesday we moved into our new house, nine days prior to our due date. I kept busy unpacking boxes and trying to get everything ready, so much so, that I didn't realize I was in early labor. My water broke Thursday night at 11:15, right as I finished addressing the last birth announcement. We called our midwife and she told us to get some rest and call her when the contractions were about 5 minutes apart. Around 1:30 am we called her and let her know they were pretty much all 5 minutes or so apart. She got here around 3:00 am with her assistant. They immediately started filling the birthing pool, while I kept progressing. Once the pool was ready, I was happy to get in. It definitely did help with the pain. I labored in there for about two hours. When I got out, the midwife checked to make sure I was fully dilated, so I could begin pushing with my body. I was not, so she moved my cervix for the next three hours while I pushed. She ended up using her fingers to open my hips enough to get the baby through. Right at the end I didn't think I could do it. My husband and the midwife told me my options were push the baby out with the next contraction or we would have to transport to the hospital. Somehow I found that last little bit I needed, and our baby girl was born! It was the single hardest thing I have ever done, and I could not have done it with out the help of my husband, the midwife, and the training we got from Rachel at our Bradley classes. We felt confident about having a home birth even though it was our first. My husband and I couldn't have asked for more. We had a 7 lb 10 oz baby girl, who is perfect! Thank you Rachel for everything, we couldn't have done this without your training and help!

My First Laksa experience at Lau Pa Sat
I told myself that I wont go home not tasting the world famous authentic Laksa of Singapore. I was told that Laksa is the unofficial National Food of Singapore. And I was told that the best is at the Lau Pa Sat at Boon Tat Street.
The Lau Pa Sat is a great place to eat. Anybody who want to experience all the local food this the place to be. Everyday around 6pm, people of different culture will converge and have a good time.
When I went to Lau Pa Sat, the place was still getting ready. So there were still stalls still opening. But I was in luck because there is this place were I would say that has the best Laksa I have ever tasted. Which is the first I ever had.
This is my first bowl, so I ordered the large one and it only cost S$3.50. At first I studied the bowl and see what consist my bowl of Laksa. There was a large portion of shrimps, pork, pork belly, rice noodles bathed in spicy gravy, fragrant with herbs and coconut milk and a teaspoon red hot chili.
So I picked up the plastic spoon to cool down the noodles using my chopstick. Then I give it a big bite. It was hot and delicious. Every bite is very tasty. I tried not to eat all the shrimp but before I knew it I have only one left in my bowl. Every time I will make a bite, the smell of chili will always comes first then the hotness of the soup. Those combination is truly remarkable. With this experience I can tell that Laksa are meant to be eaten hot.
In every Singaporean eatery is a Kopitiam where you can buy your drinks, where you can only buy your drinks. I got a can of coke and a cup of bandong which really didn't help in easing the hotness of the dish. But that was what you are looking for when eating a bowl of Laksa.
According to Lau Pa Sat website. Lau Pa Sat (or "old market" in the Hokkien dialect) was Singapore's first wet market that dates back over 150 years ago to the time of Sir Stamford Raffles, the founder of Singapore. It was subsequently converted into a famous gourmet paradise and has been gazetted as a national monument since 1973.
Lau Pa Sat is the largest remaining Victorian filigree cast-iron structure in Southeast Asia. Located in the heart of Singapore's business district, the former wet market has been restored and is now a favourite food centre of the locals, offering a wide and affordable variety of local food.
If your going to visit Singapore, I really recommend to go and eat at Lau Pa Sat, especially at night where the everything comes to life. Here's a link to locate Lau Pa Sat.

Lokoya has long been one of leading wineries in the Kendall-Jackson Small Estates portfolio. Lokoya consistently produces some of the finest Cabernet Sauvignons from four of Napa Valley's most renowned mountain appellations: Mount Veeder, Howell Mountain, Diamond Mountain District, and Spring Mountain District.
These single-vineyard wines, made in very limited quantities, are 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, fermented with native yeast, and bottled unfined and unfiltered — resulting in the purest expression of place. They are powerful wines that reflect the intense individuality of each mountain. Sparse soils, high elevations, good drainage and the cool climates of the mountains form the backbone for these intense Cabernet Sauvignons.
The Lokoya name honours the Native American tribe who lived on Mount Veeder in the western mountains of the Napa Valley prior to the arrival of viticulture in the 19th century. Paying tribute to those who farmed the Napa soils before them, Lokoya Cabernet reflects the soils and microclimates of the Napa Valley.
Bottle 6 x 75cl 1cs
Lokoya has long been one of the bright shining stars in the Kendall-Jackson Small Estates portfolio. The fact that all four of their 2011 Cabernets were among the best wines I tasted in this vintage reflects many things, among them, (1) the exceptional commitment to quality, (2) the brilliance of the vineyards and winemaker Christopher Carpenter, (3) these mountain vineyards were less affected by the challenging weather conditions of rain and fog in early and mid-October, and (4) the winemaking team had the patience to wait for perfect ripeness before harvesting these limited production cuvees. The production is even smaller than usual in 2011, ranging from 200 cases for the Diamond Mountain and Spring Mountain, 260 cases for the Howell Mountain and 840 cases for the prodigious Mt. Veeder.

On this page we are only dealing with hooves that are vertically too long. You can find the page on hooves that are horizontally too long also under trimming.
When we look at long hoof walls, we have to look at the opposite foot as well (left to right – fronts or hinds) or all four feet. What I mean is that the long hoof walls could exist only on the left or right foot…as is the case with a club foot.
Or the horse could have "Steep Foot/Shallow Foot" which means (in the pic below) the right front is high (Steep) and the left front is low (Shallow) or vice versa.
Here is a picture to demonstrate it:
Why is this important to be aware of – especially before you begin your trim?
Well, let's say both the two fronts or both the two hinds (or all four) are equally too long (let's make it crazy so you understand, and say 2″ for the sake of a big example, so 2″ extra hoof wall standing out from the sole). Then, by taking the 2 inches off the fronts or backs or all four feet, we are effectively only dropping the whole horse 2 inches closer to the ground.
We did not change the angles of the hoof to the pastern or how the horse stands or walks…we just made it 2 inches easier for you to reach the stirrup!
However, staying with the picture above, if let's say the right front is 2 inches long, but the left front is right at sole level, can you now see that if we remove the 2 inches form the right front, we will change the whole way the horse's body will react to that change?
Well, I hear you say, isn't that good? Do we not want the walls on all the feet the same length below the sole ?
The answer is yes, BUT!… sometimes the horse has had an injury (as an example) and has to hold his one shoulder higher, so the hoof has grown out long like that to accommodate the injury and thereby keeping the horse comfortable.
If you really, really feel you need to change that one foot that's longer than the opposite (because you can't stand the look of it or the Chiro says it'll be better for your horse), please do so very little at a time over a long period of time to allow the horse's body to adjust to this new way of carrying himself, else you will cause the horse major discomfort or pain….let alone change how he's going, etc.
Ok, here's the above picture of the same Steep Foot/Shallow Foot (right/left) horse without the mark up….do you see it now?
Now that I have pointed out what you need to be looking for and aware of, it stands to reason if both fronts or both hinds or all four feet are as long as in the picture below, then you can take equal amounts from both fronts or both hinds or all four (you cannot take on both rights or both lefts!!!)
Underneath is an example of a hoof that is too long vertically:
It is worth noting that I exaggerated for this example (using 2″) but that often all four can be a 1/2″ long which one can remove in one go.
I would typically look for the foot with the shortest hoof wall, bring it to the height I want (taking note of how much I take off) and then take off similar amounts from the other foot/feet. If the difference isn't much, I could just correct all four or both fronts or both hinds, but each horse is different and often even two feet are different as you now know.
Ok, for the sake of this site and your learning, I'll assume we have brought the long hoof walls to just off the sole level on all four feet and we are ready to go check for flaring!

Mumbai, Jun 3: Union agriculture minister and NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Friday said that Team Anna's allegations against Prime Minister Manmohan Singh over the allocation of coal blocks, were "irresponsible".
"It is an irresponsible statement made by them. The whole world knows what the Prime Minister is. If somebody is making allegations, why not go and file an FIR against the Prime Minister," Pawar said while talking to reporters after a party function here.
Team Anna had criticised the Prime Minister over the alleged irregularities in the allocation of coal blocks to private players in 2006-09, when he was in charge of the coal portfolio during most of the period.
Pawar also criticised Team Anna members for "lacking the courage" to make direct allegations.

Our Sponsor for the challenge is DI'S DIGI'S.
I used Prisma Colored Pencils to color the image. I adhered the Image to a red cardstock and then onto a 6 x 6 card covered with the orange patterned paper. I used washi tape across the top of the card. The sentiment is popped up with foam tape for dimension. I added Stickles to the center of the flowers, the word Bloom and the Hedge hogs eyes. This is a perfect image for the theme! I hope you enjoyed my card and found some inspiration from it. I can't wait to see what you do for your project.
