text: "Neither Here Nor There" by Oliver Jeffers. In my opinion he is an accomplished artist and through careful listening and collaboration his art (specifically the body: A Quantum of Physics) begins to lean towards information design. Oliver Jeffers is a world-famous creator of picture books for children, such as the award-winning Lost and Found.

Powder Coating
Technical Specs
We specialise in performance coatings for many different forms of industrial work, as well as:
Hot Rods
Race Cars
Our well known coating is called CERMAKROME which we source from Techline in the USA. This hardy coating is commonly used on exhaust pipes, manifolds and truck rims. Our process involves wet spray application of Cermakrome over steel, which is then oven baked. Its shine can be kept by using Mothers Mag and Aluminium polish.
All our work is prepared in house by our team. We are all very proud in the work we do and are enthusiastic in helping and discussing with people there projects no matter how big or small.
We have eftpos and credit card facilities so we can deal with anyone in New Zealand. It doesn't matter how far away you are.
We can also offer vouchers for any denomination you would like. Great for Fathers Day, Birthday or Christmas idea.
I just wanted to say how impressed I was with the coating on my mufflers, and with the care you took to send them back to me. I'll be recommending you every chance I get.
Thanks, Peter
Guys are very happy with the work you did on the engines and jet unit parts.
I just wanted to say thanks for the great job you did on the pipes. I had a look at them yesterday and they look excellent. I will send through some pictures later on when they are all together on the car.
Cheers, David
Just a quick email to say thanks mate, sandwich plate is great, here is the finished car, you done the rims, and all brackets, be it engine mounts or ancillary equipment....cheers again pal....

ARM designs the cores of microcontrollers which equip most "embedded systems" based on 32-bit processors. Cortex M3 is one of these designs, recently developed by ARM with microcontroller applications in mind. To conceive a particularly optimized piece of software (as is often the case in the world of embedded systems) it is often necessary to know how to program in an assembly language.
This book explains the basics of programming in an assembly language, while being based on the architecture of Cortex M3 in detail and developing many examples.
It is written for people who have never programmed in an assembly language and is thus didactic and progresses step by step by defining the concepts necessary to acquiring a good understanding of these techniques.

The first will be last in 2045 for then we will say "long dead and gone" are
the svengali masters of blood contracts and casting couch management
Yes, the runts, the hapless, the nerdy undersized
have taken over Commerce.
The allergic, shot taking sissies and hypersensitive mouth breathers
now dictate Fashion and the fabrics we wear.
Book worms who made lists of all the places they would travel
and who loved poetry are the Moguls in Film and TV.
"Long dead and gone" are the mesmerizing masters of secret societies
and back-door transactions
Those quiet, soft spoken faint of heart, the listeners of song birds
and nature freaks now control the Music Industry.
All athletes who prefer to jog and walk in the evenings
have redesigned Auto Industry manufacturing.
So many slow to get coordinated, the ones afraid of cars and cycles
surely own and dominate the Energy corridors.
"Long dead and gone" are the hypnotizing masters of stealthy media
and clandestine relations
The anorexic, the obese, the children with no appreciation for gourmet
govern our Farm, Fish and Game and decide what is nutritious
There is no legacy for the 7 deadly sins. The spoils have been abandoned
by their moneyed vainglorious carcasses. Today the Last are now First.

If you ever wanted to learn more about European history but could never find the time or the energy to spenmd looking through maps and books, then Look no further. Here, with the time-lapse map in the video below. All of that history from 1000 AD until 2003 has been boiled down and filtered in order to show the continent's history in just three-and-a-half minutes.
The map traces changes in Europe's borders from 1000 AD until 2003, and was created using software from the Centennia Historical Atlas.
Watch how the Byzantine Empire falls apart, follow the victories of the Mongols as they reach all the way across the Asian continent, and watch national borders shift. All of the preceding is accompanied by a very dramatic soundtrack by Hans Zimmer from the Inception score.
Cool, eh?

As Sam noted yesterday, the local Republican party shelled out three grand for a proper venue to accommodate the mammoth crowd they expected at their welcoming protest for President Obama. So, miles from the president's fundraiser, in the thick of the triple-digit late afternoon heat, how was the crowd out at Franklin Stadium yesterday?
Pretty good, local party chairman Jonathan Neerman told us when the event had wrapped. Neerman estimated the crowd was around 1,000 strong, even though there were plenty of empty seats in the bleachers. As long as the crowd was bigger than 500, he told us, Goar Park wouldn't have held them all. Neerman said the charged atmosphere around the president's visit and the stifling heat were what had him most concerned going in. "I have had some sleepless nights in the last three years," Neerman said, "but the most sleepless nights I've had have been over this."
While the crowd was heavy on Tea Party slogans and the old favorites waving from the stands -- "Don't Tread On Me" flags, an Obama-as-Joker sign -- Neerman said he was encouraged that the crowd seemed receptive to the evening's main message: voting straight-ticket Republican this November, something he said Tea Party crowds don't typically go for.
The most dramatic bit of showmanship was probably outside the stadium parking lot, where former DISD employee Diana Aguilera stood by the fence in a white sheet with "No 2 KKK" written on the front. She held a sign over her head reading, "Haters killed JFK." Her husband David said he was there standing behind her for protection, though most drivers simply waved enthusiastically and went on in to park. "We're not immigrants, and we feel like a lot of the tea-baggers' message is just anti-Hispanic," she told us.
Conservative radio all-star Mark Davis, who emceed the rally, was just one of a handful of speakers who addressed race directly: "This is not about race," he said. "Let me tell you that Republicans love Hispanics who are here legally. It's not about race; it is about behavior."
Standing behind a podium covered in "Had enough? Vote Republican" posters, Davis called Clarence Thomas one of his favorite Supreme Court justices and insisted Republicans are carrying on Martin Luther King Jr.'s message. That was followed by plenty of talk about how far the U.S. has traveled down the road to socialism since Obama's election.
Neerman told the crowd the Dallas County Republicans were throwing the event because "we figured somebody should have an official welcome for the president, since the Democrats and Bill White weren't going to do it."
"They want you to follow aimlessly and succumb to tyranny," said State Rep. Linda Harper-Brown, who boasted that she'd been named the third-most conservative member of the Texas House of Representatives. (She said nothing of her former ride.)

Other speakers last night included DCCCD trustee Bill Metzger and Republican National Hispanic Assembly's local chairman Jason Villalba.
To close out the event, the podium boasted a one-two punch destined for buddy-comedy greatness, beginning with Stephen Broden, the pastor and gifted orator who's challenging U.S. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson this fall, whose face was plastered across signs and shirts in the crowd. From the moment of his introduction, the crowd was cheering, and grew loudest as he closed his brief comments by raising his voice and leading a chant: "We are going to Washington because have had enough. We have had enough! We have had enough!" Lewisville Congressman Michael Burgess did his best to keep the energy high with a wide goofy grin and a few awkward fist pumps.
The crowd had already thinned out by then, and by the stands emptied quickly once Burgess wrapped, with folks carrying their "Proud Member of the Angry Mob" and "Revolution is Brewing" signs down the bleachers as Alan Jackson's "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)" played them back to their cars.

This homemade costume for women entered our 2012 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Luz, the 'Day of the Dead' costume creator:
One black dress, black corset, one tutu, black and white makeup and a big imagination...
I was inspired by the Day of the Dead, a costume from Mexico. I wanted a dramatic and dark make up and the tutu as a hat definitely made it great!!!
I did not realize I looked so scary till I started taking pictures and got lots of attention at the Halloween party...

Mariners' baseball delivered on Thursday afternoon in Pittsburg as they drubbed the Los Medanos Mustangs 12-3 to secure the Bay Valley Conference Title. The offense scored 12 runs on 15 hits while Jason Wutsch earned the victory with a seven quality innings on the mound. Christian Merriwether launched his first homer of the year in the winning effort by the Mariners.
The Mariners were off and running in the top of the first as they loaded the bases with two down before an RBI hit by pitch by MacLean Meyn gave Marin the early 1-0 lead. Wutsch wiggled out of a two on, one out situation in the bottom half of the first. Both teams failed to score in the second before the Mariners put a hurt on Los Medanos starting in the third inning.
Marin loaded the bases in the top of the third with two down and benefited from some shaky defense of Los Medanos to score four runs. An error by the third basement on a ball hit by Davis Barkocy scored two runs, a wild pitch plated another before a double by Randy Fernandez drove in Barkocy to increase their lead to 5-0.
Los Medanos responded with a solo home run in the bottom half but 5-1 was the closest they would get for the remainder of the game.
The Mariners scored two in the top of fourth as they once again loaded the bases. Meyn drove in one with an RBI single and Barkocy walked with the bases loaded to increase the lead to 7-1. Merriwether and James Harwell reached second and third in the fifth with no outs before Alex Davis hit a sacrifice fly and Meyn singled to push the lead to 9-1. Merriwether added another in the sixth with a solo home run of his own.
Marin loaded the bases yet again in the seventh and added another pair on a fielder's choice and a bases loaded hit by pitch to display a clean dozen runs on the scoreboard heading to the stretch.
The Mustangs made a bit of noise in the bottom of the seventh. With two away, a walk and a double scored one before two singles brought home the second run of the inning and cut the lead back to single digits at 12-3. Wutsch pitched through the seventh inning for Marin and allowed three runs on nine hits while striking out six.
Jack Hill and Cody McGunagle each pitched an inning to close out the game and give the Mariners the Conference Title.
It was a very balanced offensive attack for the Mariners as five players had multiple hits, three had multiple RBIs and four scored twice.
Celebrations ensued for the Mariners who have one more game against Los Medanos ahead on Friday, April 27th at 1pm.

NZ Women's Rugby Sevens Article Review by Ricky
WALT: use Bloom's Taxonomy to critically summarize a current event.
I worked in a group to complete a bloom's taxonomy task about the Olympics with my four friends we each had a slide to finish individually and put it all in one presentation to understand the text we used a skill that our teacher taught us call analysing but she taught us to always read the words you know and research what the other words mean next time i would like to work on my researching skills and my typing skill to type faster.
SC: I can;
- identify key words in a news article.
- use critical thinking skills to analyse a current event.
This is my writing: On the third day of the olympics The NZ women's rugby sevens were awarded a silver medal when the NZ women's rugby team versed germany nz had lost to germany and came second germany came first NZ came second and canada came third.
|This picture is about the NZ women's rugby sevens.

Ok, so since I don't watch TV, I am sometimes a tad behind on the latest marketing travesties. But thanks to free TV on Jet Blue airlines, I can catch up. So while traveling last week I saw the KFC ads asking me to support the breast cancer cause by purchasing a bucket of chicken. It was then I realized what I miss most about TV: the outrage.
Here's the deal: For every pink bucket of cancer-promoting, heart-clogging, animal-torturing fried chicken you purchase, KFC will donate a whopping 50 cents to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Even more disgusting, as the Komen website explains: "Names of breast cancer survivors and those who have lost their battle with breast cancer will be listed on the sides of the bucket." (Is that kind of like a war memorial?)
So I was happy this morning to sign Breast Cancer Action's petition to ask both KFC and Susan G. Komen to stop "pinkwashing" -- Breast Cancer Action's term for exploiting breast cancer victims in the name of charity. For the complete pinkwashing treatment, you really must visit KFC's Buckets for the Cure.
Then came back this lame reply from Margo Lucero, Susan G. Komen's director of "Global Corporate Relations" (a bad sign right there), which first simply repeats the verbiage already on the org's website:
Next comes the excuses, and the troubling framing of food choices being a matter of personal responsibility, not to mention giving KFC props for providing "healthy" choices and nutrition "advice." (!)Thank you for your e-mail to Susan G. Komen for the Cure® – we do appreciate you taking the time to tell us how you feel about this partnership. You should know that our partnership with KFC is designed to help reach millions of women we might not otherwise reach with breast health education and awareness messages which we consider critical to our mission. This additional outreach is made possible through KFC's 5,300 restaurants (about 900 of them in communities not yet served by a Komen Affiliate). This partnership also helps us to generate funding toward the nearly $1.5 billion in research and community programs that Komen has funded over 30 years – programs that are literally saving women's lives through better treatments and early detection.
In other words, we need the cash, so leave us alone. But KFC has the most to gain out of this arrangement. In addition to positive PR, the campaign will of course encourage more purchases, and 50 cents a bucket is well, just a drop in the bucket. Meanwhile, KFC's parent company, Yum Brands posted an impressive 10 percent increase in profits in the first quarter while revenue topped $2 billion.Our partnership focuses on healthy options at KFC – grilled chicken and vegetables, for example. Ultimately, we believe that the decision to maintain a well-balanced diet lies in the hands of the consumer. KFC provides tools to make those choices, by providing a healthy choice menu and advice on its Web site on how consumers can limit fat and calorie consumption in its products.

I held your hand and prayed with you in hospice. All of your grandchildren surrounded you and we had an early Christmas. When you breathed your last it was in peace and your healing is now eternal.
I think "I should call Mom today." And then I remember.
Mike got his cancer diagnosis in July. Its round 2 for me as a caregiver. I wish you were here to kiss my forehead and tell me its going to be okay.
I miss you terribly, Momma.

It was one year ago that all our troubles began with Tom. Thought it was just a back strain, then found out he had 2 fractures in his spine and then the shocking news that he had lung cancer that had spread to his brain & spine. We were now on the road to misery which of cours was short, cause he was taken suddenly from me on March 25th. I have been doing pretty good until yesterday and now keep having crying spells. Probably cause it's getting closer to Christmas and also it'll be 9 months ago that day that I lost him forever.

I'm trying to remain positive and grateful, but I'm so darn tired! I'm just really really sad and angry. I'm so thankful that we have this board to support each other, but its such a shame that it has to be because we're going through or have gone thru this hell. So many of us are going through this rodeo more than once and it just seems so &%$#*&# unfair!

Right now, transitional design is popular. Very popular.
Transitional design has grown from something thought of as a middle ground for cabinet doors to a new school of thought for architectural and interior design. By pulling together formal traditional design with the austerity of contemporary, a wonderful balance of warmth and sophistication is created.
In recent years, top design publications have been heavily favoring the transitional look in their home interior features. Considering the ease of access to new ideas and inspiration, there are significantly more design choices for homeowners these days. And thanks to this growing bevy of options, there is a new freedom for homeowners to create their own design aesthetic rather than sticking to the tried and true traditional or contemporary designs.
This trend toward transitional design doesn't seem to have an end in sight either. Every aspect of the home has new opportunities for personalization — and that includes on windows and doors, which aren't as black and white as traditional and contemporary. Transitional window and door styles can be created with trim or hardware finishes or some of the details of the moulding. Or maybe it's a stain or a glazing bead that creates that one subtle detail for the perfect accent.
Let's use contemporary door lines for example. They have very narrow profiles, more glass and square glazing stops. To make them more transitional, choose traditional hardware as a statement piece to add elegance, or change the glazing stops to add more character with a colonial look.
As far as making traditional more transitional, contemporary casements can be used, or a square glazing bead can rest in a more traditional door profile. Of course, finishes play a big part here, too. Contemporary style finishes, the darker colors such as gray stains, add a refined feel to traditional styles. It's all about mixing the best pieces and finding what feels right to the homeowner to define or finish their designs.
To accommodate the tremendous desire to make every design just right for every homeowner, Weather Shield has made all the different options available across our lines. Our quote system has been opened up to include far more choice than ever before and to give our customers the flexibility to make their home design unique.

The GPS satellite on exhibit is a thermal test specimen and is the only one on display in the world. It is just one of the many types of satellites orbiting the Earth today. The solar panels, such as the ones seen on the GPS, are one way to provide the power needed to function. Satellites can also carry their power internally, sometimes using a nuclear power supply.
In the middle of the Great Depression, the Army Air Corps decided to upgrade its pursuit squadrons by replacing the fabric covered bi-planes of the 20s with a modern all metal aircraft with superior speed and armament. The Boeing P-26 Peashooter was born to fit the bill. It became the military's transition aircraft as the United States raced toward World War II. It was America's first military monoplane, which was still externally braced, and the first that had all metal construction.
The Hawley Bowlus designed and manufactured sail plane was nicknamed the Baby Albatross. Conceived as an inexpensive glider more suitably priced for consumption during the Great Depression, the aircraft initially sold for $750 ready-to-fly, or $350 as a kit for amateur construction. Kits were produced between 1938 and 1944.
The SP-1 sailplane was the brainchild of William Hawley Bowlus, an engineer who had worked for Ryan Airlines on the NYP – Charles Lindbergh's history making Spirit of St. Louis. As a teenager in California's San Fernando Valley, Bowlus had been a glider enthusiast. He designed and built 15 gliders between 1911 and 1928 and, in January 1929, completed work on the Albatross, his first true soaring plane.
Few people today know the name Sir George Cayley, but to many historians he is known as the Father of Aeronautics. Born in Scarborough, England in 1773, he is credited with the basic layout we see today – an airplane with a single wing and a tail with control surfaces. His 1852 glider was the first fixed-wing aircraft to carry a human in flight.

Those of you who have followed me for some time are probably aware that I suffer from debilitatingly Severe Clinical Depression and Anxiety. Often, people will PM me and ask me if and what type of impact RNY had on my depression and on the medications that I take to try to mitigate and manage my depressive symptoms.
I have to say that I have a great psychiatrist and she was really very good about closely monitoring me after my surgery to watch for signs that I might not be getting the full effect of the medications. When I had my surgery, there were not yet any studies documenting what happens to patients taking SSRIs which are among the cornerstone of the medication arsenal for dealing with depression. A small recent study released March 2012, examined the impact RNY has on patients that had been taking SSRIs to see how it effected level of the SSRIs found in their bloodstream. Their clinical research bears out what happened to me. Basically, the patients had been taking the drugs prior to their RNY. They tested the level of SSRI in the patients prior to the RNY, 1 month post op, 3 months post op, 6 months post op and 12 months post op and found that about 2/3 of the patients were likely to experience about a 50% loss in efficacy about 1 month post op, but that most patients were experiencing a rebound to close to normal levels by the time they were 6 months post op.
Here is a link to an article about the study.
I think that the take away here is that if you are on anti-depressants, you want to be sure that your health care providers are aware of this short term issue and that they monitor you closely to ensure your mental health. Remember that there are a number of other issues also at play when you have any surgery, but especially WLS because you are losing a coping mechanism that you have come to rely upon since you no longer have food as a crutch/drug of choice to lean on after surgery. Hopefully, if you do have depressive issues, you'll be working with a counselor through your weight loss phase to help you navigate the feelings, concerns, and issues that come up in a way that will allow you to maximize your weight loss opportunity and long term maintenance.

Here's an interesting overview of the Account History feature; including a brief summary of the types of data that Google captures for each user …
Most online companies make available privacy related settings that their customers can modify to their liking. The default settings are often less than optimal and making sure that everything is set up properly is one of the first things that you should do. In fact, it is also important to check those settings regularly just to make sure nothing has changed.
The Google Account History is where Google displays some of the information that it collects about you. Search History for example is turned on by default, which means that all searches on Google will be recorded by it if you are signed in to a Google account at that time.
There is a misconception though in regards to the Account History feature: some users believe that disabling history features will stop Google from recording data. It won't. While it limits Google on what it can do with the data, the company may still record it as confirmed on the "delete search history" page:
When you delete items from your Search History, they are no longer associated with your Google Account. However, Google may store searches in a separate logs system to prevent spam and abuse and to improve our services.
What is being recorded
According to Google, the following information are recorded by its servers:
- The IP address of the user.
- The date and time the request was made.
- The full request URL including search query.
- The header that includes the browser and operating system.
- A unique cookie ID that is stored on first visit.
Manage your Account History
Google has improved the Account History page recently. It is now displaying all important switches on a single page for easier access.
The new page lists the following four history-related features:
- Things you search for – Google Search History saves searches that you make to "deliver better suggestions, faster results, and other valuable Google product features".
- Places you've been – Saves the locations you have been in to "provide benefits like improved map searches and tailored commute information".
- Your YouTube searches – Saves searches you have made on YouTube to "make future searches faster and your video recommendations better".
- Things you've watches on YouTube – Saves all videos that you have watched on the site to make them "easy to find and improve your YouTube experience".
All four entries list a manage history link and an enable or disable button depending on the current state of the history feature. The manage history link leads deeper into the account. You need to sign in again using your password before Google lists the history that it has recorded.
Note: Clicking on disable may not necessarily delete past recordings. You may eed to use the manage history link to delete those recordings from your account. After you disable a feature here, click on manage history to verify that all data is removed from the history.
Below those four major history settings are related settings which you may find useful as well. They lead to the following four entries at the time of writing:
- Google+ – The Google+ account settings that offer privacy settings and more.
- Shared Endorsements – If you don't want your profile picture showing up next to commercial or promotional contexts.
- Search settings – Google Search settings page.
- Ads – Displays information about you according to your Google Profile and Google ads across the web. Includes your gender and age, language, interests, and opt-out settings.

Undocumented immigrants are some of the most disenfranchised individuals living in the United States today. Enticed by the promise of increased economic opportunity and galvanized by low employment and violence at home, they arrive in the U.S. only to be forced into the shadows of society. Whether it be laws they view as xenophobic, the constant threat of deportation, underground crime or uncertainty concerning their future in a nation rife with political gridlock and lack of vision concerning the pressing issue of immigration reform, the undocumented live on the edge.
In the midst of this unease, instead of looking to the values and symbols of a nation they once viewed as a land of possibility and hope, many Mexican immigrants are looking to their own religio-cultural symbols for peace and providence.
On December 12, millions of Mexicanos in the U.S., including many undocumented workers, will celebrate the feast of La Virgén de Guadalupe, a Roman Catholic icon of Mary, the mother of Christ.
In December 1531, the peasant Juan Diego beheld a vision of a young woman on the Hill of Tepeyac on the outskirts of Mexico City. Diego recognized the apparition as the Virgin Mary and shared his story with the Spanish Archbishop Juan de Zumárraga, who demanded miraculous signs as proof. He was given two: first, a bouquet of flowers from the usually barren hilltop and second, a tilma, or cloak, miraculously bearing the image of La Virgén with a perfect mix of Spanish-Catholic and Nahuatl-Azteca motifs.
In the centuries that followed, devotion to the Blessed Virgin of the Americas only grew. Embodying not only Mexican faith, but Mexican distinctiveness as a mix of Spanish European and indigenous American heritage, the image of the Virgin helped create and identify the Mexican people. It also served as a symbol of hope, truth and love during the Mexican battle for independence and later during persecution of Roman Catholics in Mexico in the early 20th century. As American ex-pat Ron Austin reflected in his book Peregrino, "[N]o more profound devotion exists within Catholicism, or one with such extensive consequences for a people, as that of our Our Lady of Guadalupe."
Now, more than ever, her message of reconciliation between cultures, love for the vulnerable and poor and veneration of devotional faith is poignant for people on the margins, especially the undocumented Mexicano living in the U.S.
When Our Lady of Guadalupe first appeared to Juan Diego in the 16th century she entered into a world replete with distrust and racial tension, misunderstanding and stalemate, between Spanish and Native. Today, as millions of Mexicans in the U.S. celebrate her feast day with mass, fireworks, dancing and ritual procession they do so in the context of suspicion between U.S. citizens and the undocumented in their midst.
In Rosenberg, a small town just outside of Houston, TX – a city with an estimated 380,000 undocumented Latinos – thousands of devotees to La Virgén gather for buoyant and beautiful festivities marking Our Lady of Guadalupe's first appearance some 500 years ago. Many in the crowd are wary of the police called in to observe the scene, and shirk back from the throng of people if only for a moment to avoid detection. Still, they sing and dance, filled with faith believing that Our Lady of Guadalupe may be resurrected as a symbol of hope and rapprochement.
Spanning a cultural divide between European and Aztecan, "a woman of two cultures," La Virgén called the people of her day to overcome their differences, join a common cause and build bridges of peace. Mexican culture today, and devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe, is evidence of her success as an icon of reconciliation.
In addition to being a symbol of cultural identity and consolation for the downtrodden, La Virgén de Guadalupe can again, regardless of the veracity of events surrounding her "appearance," serve as an allegory of compromise and understanding, an example of how the undocumented and the citizen, those in power and those in the margins, might be able to reconcile their differences and make progress on one of the most compelling matters in the U.S. today – immigration reform.

How to Manage Your Brand's Social Life
Consumers are investing serious amounts of their time in social-media platforms, with 16.6% of all online minutes now spent on social networks. With so much focus on social as a marketing tool, it's worth stopping and mapping out a smart social strategy.
A new Ad Age Insights report, "Managing Your Brand's Social Life," aims to help brand managers plan for which platforms should get the investment of limited staff and time, what to consider when creating internal social-media guidelines, whether to handle social media in-house or outsource it and what measures a brand should be looking for to get at return on investment.
You can measure the ROI of social media, but it may not get you far. "There is definitely a quantifiable ROI, but the truth of the matter is that it's very difficult to measure ROI within social media," said Edelman Digital Senior VP Michael Brito.
If a straightforward numbers game is what you're after, Olivier Blanchard, author of "Social Media ROI" notes that the ROI numbers game remains the same: "It's still purely a financial measure." But, he adds, "engagement is not a measure of ROI. There's no way to actually calculate the relationship between a dollar investment in a particular activity and the number of likes."
He stresses that brands should be wary of anybody who tries to tell them that they can put an absolute value on a Facebook fan, Twitter follower or their latest Pinterest pinner. "For anyone to suggest that the value of a Coca-Cola fan on Facebook or Twitter is equal to the value of a BMW fan on Facebook or Twitter, it's ludicrous. So the media-equivalency equations unfortunately really lead people astray. They do help sell a lot of services, but they don't actually really give you a true measure of the value of an activity on social media," Mr. Brito said.
Adds Constant Contact's Social-Media Manager Erica Ayotte: "What's really hard is determining the value of followership." Instead, Ms. Ayotte believes brands have to ask very different questions of their social-media campaigns. "What gets me really excited is looking at it from a different intelligence perspective, from taking all that data and being able to ask the right questions, " she said. "For example, do people who are engaging with us on Facebook ... do they buy more, stay longer? That's the type of business intelligence ... I think the whole industry is moving [toward]." Other aspects to consider tracking are trust, purchase-decisions influence, seeking new products and getting recommendations.
ROI is really just one way to figure out how much your brand benefits from having a social life. With a little creativity -- and with an understanding that you need to push your measurement in new directions -- you can more clearly understand what social media delivers to your brand. Steven L. Johnson, assistant professor and director of social-media programs at Temple University's Fox School of Business, offered the example of the Campbell's Kitchen Facebook page, whose "mission is to get people to use more Campbell's Soup products." Mr. Johnson said Campbell figured out that every time somebody printed a recipe from Facebook, they prepared it approximately 2.5 times, and 1.7 times, they used a Campbell's Soup product. "You can't figure that out online," he said. "They just figured that out through some kind of additional market research. But then based on that , you're able to put a value on this action that you're trying to drive people toward."
While larger marketers end up building enterprise-class tracking tools, many companies rely on a cobbled together set of tools. Some of the top names in the measuring game include Radian6; Webtrends analytics to measure Facebook and mobile; and Twitalyze to measure, as you probably guessed, Twitter activity; Google Analytics, which is a very sophisticated product (especially for the price of ... free); and Simply Measured, which also looks at competitors' engagement to provide benchmarking.
"Measuring social is easy: likes, comments, views, shares, engagement, participation, etc. The numbers are all there and are easy to pull. Determining success is still the difficult part," said Daniel Stein, founder-CEO, Evolution Bureau. "The jury is still out on the value of fan interaction.

Jurong Lake District (JLD) (pictured) will undergo several pilots and trials of smart technologies, such as using video analytics for traffic conditions at junctions.
Minister for Communications and Information, Dr Yaacob Ibrahim shared this at the opening ceremony of the annual Infocomm Media Business Exchange (imbX) on June 17.
This is in line with the country's vision of becoming a Smart Nation. "As part of a Smart Nation, we are also looking into using technology to provide services and applications that can benefit the people. For example, we are exploring smart home solutions, particularly in the areas of wellness, active aging and energy efficiency," he said.
Dr Yaacob added the industry can contribute by partnering the government in establishing common Internet of Things (IoT) standards within the home setting, as well as identifying new innovations in the home space.
JLD will be the largest commercial and regional centre outside Singapore's Central Business District (CBD), and is envisioned to be a mixed-used urban precinct characterised by sustainable development and connectivity.
The imbX will showcase some of the ideas being developed in JLD, such as a District Management solution for sustainable high-density districts that optimise land use.

The No-conscription fellowship (NCF) was formed to support those who objected to taking up arms in the First World War. In the autumn of 1914, at the suggestion of his wife Lilla, Fenner Brockway the editor of the strongly anti-war Independent Labour Party (ILP) newspaper The Labour Leader invited those who were eligible for conscription, but who were not prepared to fight to get in contact. There was an immediate response and the NCF was established in November 1914 initially with 300 members. The NCF was the voice of the whole anti-war movement working closely with two other organisations: the Friends' Service Committee and the Fellowship of Reconciliation, (FOR) a Christian pacifist organisation also founded in 1914. The ILP gave its conscientious objectors its full support but left it to the NCF to actually organise resistance.
National Organisation
By the beginning of 1915 membership had grown to such an extent that an office was opened in London and a network of branches were established across the country and within the London boroughs including one in Dulwich and another in Blackheath. Initially the NCF campaigned against the Military Service Bill and when that campaign was lost it campaigned to support all conscientious objectors in their opposition to conscription. The NCF's organisation was meticulous, they kept records of every CO, the grounds of his objection, his appearance before tribunals, civil courts, courts martial, and even which prison or Home Office work camp he was in. They also maintained contact with COs, arranging visits to camps, barracks and prisons and had special funds for the maintenance of the dependents of those in gaol. According to the NCF's figures, some 20,000 men refused to fight, 6,312 men were arrested for resisting conscription and over 800 served more than two years in prison. Thousands of other COs refused to bear arms but accepted service in the Friends Ambulance Unit, the Friends Relief Committee or "work of national importance" and the Non Combatant Corps.
Ranged against them was the full might of the government, the police, the army, most churches and the press. Sermons were preached in favour of the war and the press whipped up public opinion against COs or 'conchies' as they were labelled. Immense personal pressure was put on them not just by the church and state, but also by communities, neighbours, friends, even families and they also had to withstand pressure to conform when isolated in barracks, army camps and prisons.
To counteract this the NCF had a press department, that constantly sought to draw the attention of the public to what was happening to COs and the ill-treatment and brutality many were subject to. Shadow committees of associate members were formed of women and older men, and women were largely responsible for the running of the secret presses. They published leaflets and pamphlets and from March 1916 a weekly newspaper The Tribunal. The Political Department, whose Parliamentary secretary was Catherine Marshall, briefed MPs and drafted questions to Ministers. The government tried to suppress The Tribunal, by raiding its printers, the National Labour Press, and dismantling their printing machinery, but the NCF had made preparations and had secret presses which continued to bring out the paper.
The final convention of the No-Conscription Fellowship took place at the end of November 1919 at Devonshire House and was attended by over 400 delegates from branches all over the country, after which the fellowship disbanded.

Putting all your eggs in one basket can be a risky venture. If successful, praise and accolades shall be your fruitful reward. Should you fail, then the barbs of ugly critics and scorned admirers shall haunt your every step "" whether these thoughts seeped into Ben Chasny's noggin while creating The Sun Awakens is anybody's guess. Everyone needs a challenge, a chance to prove themselves "" not only the watching eyes of fans and critics, but also to themselves.
To the point, The Sun Awakens is an album of two parts, but more so an album banking on a 24-minute monster. The first half relies on Chasny's traditional acoustic prowess. The subtle "Torn By Wolves," the powerful "Black Wall" and "Attar," and the action-packed "The Desert is a Circle" are all familiar sounds for fans of Six Organs of Admittance. The buzz of the strings, the OK Corral ballads, and the echoing vocals "" all a fitting follow-up to last year's School of the Flower.
Then we meet the beast. Say hello to "River of Transfiguration." This is the jumping off point for those afraid of noise and/or drone. For others, this is where The Sun Awakens turns frightening and gets interesting. The first six minutes are as desolate and eerie as it gets. Monotone drones and high-pitched wails mark the bewitching period. Then, salvation from the dark in the form of a solitary snare hit. Slowly, reverberating guitars, manic drums, and moaned chants join the fray. The battle goes back and forth, before the track finally yields to the drone once more. "River of Transfiguration" has managed to turn The Sun Awakens from School of the Flower's twin to the family's black sheep. Its mystery and intrigue will stay with you the rest of the day. It's able to turn warm days cold and sunny days into cloudy skies ready to burst with rain.
If you were hoping for a predictable outing from Ben Chasny, you won't find it on The Sun Awakens. Sure, six of the seven tracks aren't as varied or experimental as "River of Transfiguration," but the influence of that one song turns the album into something else. After the initial listen, The Sun Awakens will never sound the same. The moods shift, the sounds transform, and the meanings change.

- Page 1 Panasonic Viera TX-L37G20 Review
- Page 2 Features and Contrast Review
- Page 3 Performance and Verdict Review
- Page 4 Feature Table Review
One interesting difference between the L37G20B and the G20 plasma screens is that it doesn't share the plasma models' THX endorsement. Presumably because THX is yet to be convinced of LCD capabilities as a video display. However, the L37G20B does still earn support from the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF), with two Professional picture presets provided for one of their experts to calibrate separate day and night settings.
You can have a stab at calibrating the TV to a high level yourself, of course, with options to adjust the gain and cut-off settings for the red, green and blue colour components, as well as a selection of gamma preset points.
Please note that the fine-tuning options just mentioned only come into play if you switch on an Advance (isfcc) option within the TV's Setup menu.
Also contained within this Setup menu is a further submenu option rather unhelpfully just called Other Settings, which actually contains a couple of quite important features. One allows you to turn on and adjust the strength of Panasonic's Intelligent Frame Creation and 24p Smooth Film motion processors, while the other allows you to turn on and adjust the strength of Panasonic's new Resolution Enhancer system for – predominantly – boosting the sharpness of standard definition pictures. Both these features are quite important, it seems to us, and really shouldn't be tucked away in such a dim and distant submenu.
For the record, we left the resolution enhancer on its mid setting with standard def, but off with HD, and the IFC/24p engine on at its mid level at all times bar some very fast moving sports footage, during which even the IFC engine could generate some minor artefacts.
As with quite a few Panasonic LCD TVs we've seen, the L37G20B's pictures are good rather than outstanding – which we guess makes them slightly disappointing compared with the stellar G20 plasma efforts.
One of the main factors preventing the L37G20B from truly excelling is the way really dark scenes tend to look slightly greyed over – despite the set's claimed contrast ratio of 100,000:1. This is especially true if you don't strongly ramp down the set's contrast and brightness settings from their 'normal' preset levels. But even if you do (something the set's Cinema preset does reasonably well for you, in fact), a definite trace of greyness remains.
The only exception to this is when the image is completely blank, at which point the set's dynamic contrast system really can dim the set's lighting to a point where black really does look black.
The slight grey undertone we've been talking about is not bad by CCFL LCD standards, by any means, and at least the backlight looks consistently bright across the whole screen rather than throwing up distracting bright patches. But plasma and LED-lit models can both outgun the L37G20B in the black level department.

"Future Farmers of America" was founded by a group of young farmers back in 1928. Their mission was to prepare future generations for the challenges of feeding a growing population. They taught us that agriculture is more than planting and harvesting-- it's a science, it's a business and it's an art.
FFA continues to help the next generation rise up to meet those challenges by helping its members to develop their own unique talents and explore their interests in a broad range of career pathways.

Pisces Man - Personality, Traits, in Love, in Bed
- Category: Zodiac Signs characteristics
- Last Updated on January 09, 2020
- Written by admin
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)Pisces is the last sun sign in the zodiac and it is the most trusted guard of the entire zodiacal system. Pisces is a water sign that is too fluid and slippery. However, a typical Piscean man can be very gentle and patient in nature. If at there is a word called care in the dictionary, it applies to a Piscean man! He isvery sympathetic to others with a sense of concern for other people's problems and pitfalls. However, he is also very sensitive to some emotive issues and they may pose a challenging scenario when they may undergo serious pressure and strain on their mind and body. Bad moments can make them reclusive and sedentary while happy moments can make them more cheerful and boisterous. He always believes in two surreal worlds and domains – that of a place where is living now and the other that he creates in his mind.
By nature, a Piscean man is very dreamy, spiritual, philosophical and charming. He could also be extremely imaginative, thinking, intelligent, smart, easy going and challenging. The eternal signs of a poet, dramatist, interpreters, and philosophers are common among Piscean males.
Although, they look shy and reserved, they can be the most out-going persons when given a chance to them to emerge out of their cocoon. With all their perceived noble qualities, a Piscean man could be impractical and unsuited to professions that deal a lot with practical work like engineering. They can show excellent results as artists, writers, novelists or musicians.
All Pisces men need a calm and serene environment to work on their assignments and projects. Otherwise, their personal productivity can come down due to their delicate mental systems. Pisces men are not too ambitious than those born under other signs. Once they achieve something or reach a particular goalpost, they will feel content and satisfied with the results. They will feel happy that they have enough in life and they do not need to achieve other things. In fact, they keep looking for a secure life without any conflicts and risks.
Pisces Man Health
Pisces is a sun sign that manages lymphatic systems and their general functions. Body swelling, allergies of nose and body, feet injuries is some of the most common problems that they are likely to face. Because of their extremely fragile nature, they can even develop nervous disorders later in their life.
Pisces Man Money and Career
Because of their fragile emotional nature, Piscean males may not succeed in professions that require hard work and dedicated physical efforts. However, they could be most desirable personalities for working as artists, painters, writers, dramatists, museum curators and entertainers.
Piscean males are too refined and sophisticated to work for those jobs that are rugged and rough. They may their satisfaction in such professions as film and television, ballet, opera, style & fashion and marketing industries. They may also do very well in such industries as nursing, medicine, age-care and social service industries. Money comes flowing to their wallets especially for those who work in the hospitality and entertainment industries.
Pisces Man in Love
A typical Piscean man is sensual, sexy, good looking, cute and passionate. He could be a great lover of physical beauty while the physical attraction with women may play an important role in setting up a permanent marital relationship. However, he could be artificial and hypocrite to the core with a tendency for telling things that are half-truths. In some cases, Piscean men can fail utterly in their personal relationship with women because of their over-zealousness and urgency.
False fantasies and useless imaginations can harm their life to the maximum. With all these perceived negative characters, they can still be the most desirable and lovable individuals in the world. What they need to do is to create an environment of peace and affection with their spouses and eradicate feelings of dishonesty and mistrust. The most compatible sun signs for Pisces men are Cancer, Scorpio, Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo and Pisces while other signs of the zodiac could be incompatible and conflicting.
Famous Pisces Man

Lady Liberty Lit by Ocean Windfarm: Mayor Bloomberg Envisions Green Energy Future for NYC
photo by Yan Chow
Highlighting many of the same points made by Bill Clinton at the National Clean Energy Summit in Las Vegas, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg spoke about his vision for building green power in New York and for the country in general. You can read a full transcript of his speech here, but here are some choice highlights:
Conservation Alone Not Enough
Conservation alone isn't enough. We also need to dramatically step up the production of clean energy for our growing city and economy. For example, I believe that we've got to be willing to do what some other nations - such as France - have already done, and increase our capacity of safe and clean nuclear-generated power.
We also have to accept that a lot of alternative power projects now on the drawing boards won't produce their first kilowatts of electricity for many years. But we still have to reach into our own pockets now, or our children won't have the benefits 10 to 15 years in the future.
Windfarms Atop NYC Bridges and Skyscrapers
The Mayor announced that a 'Request for Expressions of Interest' has been sent out to solicit ideas for renewable energy projects in New York City.
Such projects might, for example, be designed to draw power from the tides of the Hudson and East Rivers - something we're already doing on a pilot basis. They might call for dramatically increasing rooftop solar power production, which we've estimated could meet nearly 20 percent of the City's need for electricity. They could tap into geothermal energy. In fact, some private home and building owners have already drilled their own 'heat wells.' Or perhaps companies will want to put windfarms atop our bridges and skyscrapers, or use the enormous potential of powerful off-shore winds miles out in the Atlantic Ocean, where turbines could generate roughly twice the energy that land-based windfarms can. Windfarms located far off our shores, some evidence shows, could meet 10 percent of our city's electricity needs within a decade.
More than 100 years ago, a new statue standing tall in New York Harbor gave our nation its greatest symbol of freedom. In this century, that freedom is being undermined by dependence on foreign oil. So I think it would be a thing of beauty if, when Lady Liberty looks out on the horizon, she not only welcomes new immigrants, but lights their way with a torch powered by an ocean windfarm.
We Haven't Been Honest About the True Cost of Fossil Fuels
Free enterprise will help us meet those goals because our incomparable free enterprise system is based on the power of the marketplace. For too long, however, the market for energy has been skewed. Because we haven't been honest about the true costs of dirty energy, we've endangered our health, polluted our air, undermined our national security, and, now, threatened the future of our world. If we were honest with ourselves about these ignored but all-too real costs, the price of these dirty fuels would be vastly higher. If we were honest, the marketplace today - not ten years from now, but today - would make solar, wind, geothermal, and other alternative fuels cost-effective and economically viable.
A Good Start, but the Devil's in the Details
Obviously this is all more of an inspirational speech than anything else. For that, I applaud the Mayor, but much of this is much more easily said than done: While it might sound like a good idea to put wind turbines on buildings, putting them offshore (as the Mayor has also suggested) is probably a better idea; geothermal energy, such as Google is investigating, is a much different thing than the heat pumps talked about here; rooftop solar is probably the easiest of the options presented here, in that it can be built incrementally and won't require the massive permitting process that offshore wind will have.
Even more than that, I'm glad that the Mayor said straight out that the energy market has been skewed because the environmental externalities of burning fossil fuels have not been incorporated into their price. As we says, if we internalize these costs, the current cost differential between conventional power sources and their green alternatives is likely to close.
