Cardiff Chemistry is one of the world's leading Schools
16 May 2013
Cardiff School of Chemistry has been ranked in the world's top 200 Chemistry departments according to a recently released prestigious international league table. The annual QSWorld University Rankings by Subject was published in May 2013, and it provides the only general means available to prospective students of placing universities in order for their subject of interest, rather than as whole institutions or broad faculty combinations.
The QS World University Rankings by Subject was launched in 2011, and now in its third year, it is a comprehensive guide to a range of popular subjects. The world's top 200 departments are established in 30 different subjects. In the most recent survey, 2,858 universities were evaluated. To produce the rankings 68 million citations were analyzed and the provision of 8,391 programmes was verified. The ranking is based on 4 criteria - academic opinion; employer opinion; citation data; and H-index.
Professor Peter Knowles, Head of the School of Chemistry, said, "This recognition of the increasing standing of Cardiff Chemistry reflects the dedication of our staff in providing a stimulating programme for students, and in creating an internationally-leading centre for chemistry research".
Further details and the survey results can be found at QS World University Rankings by Subject.

Create Your Own Home Gym with a Few Basics
Wakeup… The Gym is Calling You
It's 6 am, your alarm goes off and you push the snooze button. And then it goes off again and you put it under your bed, and by the third time, you've taken it and thrown it against the wall, in protest of taking that early morning spin, body combat class or weight session you had scheduled. You use every excuse imaginable, from traffic to inclement weather to the kids have the sniffles. As a result, you wake a half an hour later feeling lethargic, lazy and your fat jeans are the only thing you can squeeze into. Sound familiar?
Perhaps you should consider a more drastic measure to meet your fitness needs, like a home gym. Guaranteed, once you invest the money in either having one built into your existing home, or having one designed for the home you're currently building, you may think twice about throwing that alarm clock against the wall.
Create the Home Gym that Suits Your Specific Workout Goals
If you're building a home or are renovating and are considering adding a home gym, there are a few things you want to consider, among them the essential equipment you want to use in your home gym. First and foremost, it is important to determine which pieces of equipment will be best suited for your specific workout goals, and start from the ground up. Proper flooring and/or mats are key.
You want to make sure the flooring can handle any weights you may accidentally drop and also hold the weight of any machines you install, yet also offers the comfort you need when it's time to stretch. A good alternative if you don't want weights can also be loop bands which provide a resistance. If you are more into weightlifting for example and do your cardio outdoors, then you want to make sure you stock it with plenty of free weights (in all weight ranges), or if you're into the kettle bells, add a few of those for a variation. There are also plenty of machines and home gym units such as the Total Gym that serve multiple purposes and incorporate exercises for both the upper and lower body and will add to your overall weight workout.
Beat the Clock
If you want a home gym that covers all the bases, you may want to install one or two pieces of cardio equipment such as a treadmill, stairmaster, rowing machine or elliptical machine. It may also help to add an activity tracker like the Fitbit to help monitor heart rate, etc during your workouts. If you're a yogi, you may want to add a yoga wall for added diversity along with some accessories like straps or bars used in various styles of yoga practice. This, combined with free weights and some fitness balls and bands will give you all the basics you need.
You can check out this equipment and more at: http://homeworkoutgear.com
It just depends on what your personal fitness goals are as to what type of equipment you choose. Cardio and weight bearing exercises combined with a healthy diet are key to an overall healthy, results-oriented workout regimen. Having the tools at your fingertips will help get you started on a fitness routine where you'll actually be waking up before the alarm clock.

"My favorite part of this product is that it could be completely personalized! I have been trying to find something where I could add special characters to the text of a photo card…I am so happy to have finally found a product and place that will do that. Thank you for creating such a great product."
"The only thing I would like to see is how it would look if you used less pictures in the preview. However, the card is beautiful, they arrived on time and were perfect for showing off our newest bundle of joy."
"This was my first time using tinyprints.com. I was very happy with the ease of personalization of the card, the quality of the card stock, the option to have a designer review the card, and the speed of delivery. The ability to have different shapes for the edge of the card is such a nice touch. My cards came out just as pictured on the screen. Very pleased and would order again in the future."
"I was looking for a birth announcement that would hold multiple images, and a design that would stand out in a crowd of pink and purple announcements. This fit my needs perfectly!! It was so easy to upload photos and experiment with different positioning. I was thrilled with the quality of the paper when it arrived (quickly too!)"
"Absolutely love how the cards turned out! They look fantastic and I will definitely be purchasing some more in the future! Excellent!!!!"

Chattooga County from the last six months:
* Trion -- 6
* Chattooga County -- 67
Source: Chattooga County Sheriff's Office
A Trion, Ga., police investigator wants Chattooga County to revamp how it monitors pawnshops after he tried to look through an owner's records and was refused when the man called the sheriff.
Investigator Shannon Goins said that when he asked to look through the records of EZ Pawn and Guns while trying to solve a $7,000 burglary, owner Ethan Blake Jones quickly dialed Chattooga County Sheriff John Everett to ask him what to do.
After Jones told Goins he would need a search warrant to see the pawnshop's records, the investigator last week got a warrant to arrest Jones on a misdemeanor charge of refusal to produce pawn records.
According to Georgia law, any authorized law officer is allowed to request to inspect a pawnbroker's records during ordinary business hours and at a reasonable time.
But Jones' attorney, Rex Abernathy, said Goins wasn't authorized to go outside his jurisdiction and ask for pawn records. The business is in a Summerville ZIP code.
"A city officer only has power in his city," Abernathy said, adding that Goins harassed Jones for his records.
Everett acknowledged that he advised Jones to refuse to show his records because Goins was out of his jurisdiction and had "no business going into the place and demanding records."
Abernathy works for the law firm Cook and Connelly, which is also involved in a lawsuit representing another pawnshop in Chattooga. In that case, Everett and his investigator Kandy Dodd are accused of searching the pawnshop owner's home and seizing property with a faulty search warrant.
When Goins was in EZ Pawn looking for the records, he asked Everett to come down to the shop and talk with him, but the sheriff refused. Everett said he wouldn't go because he "didn't want to have anything to do with Shannon Goins."
Goins said this isn't an isolated incident, and he has at least six unsolved burglaries in the city that he believes are connected to a pawnshop. That can't be proven, he said, because the shop's records don't show each individual transaction -- which is required by law. He said he would like to see the county use a computerized system, as do some area agencies, including Floyd County and the Chattanooga Police Department.
"We're going to have to step it up," he said. "These pawnshops need to be kept in check."
The sheriff, who will be replaced by Mark Schrader at the beginning of the year, said he doesn't see a problem with how the sheriff's office keeps up with the pawnshops, but he didn't explain what it does to monitor them.
The sheriff's office has open cases on 67 burglaries, but investigators said they couldn't determine by press time how many of those incidents may involve stolen goods being sold to pawnshops.
Schrader, a former Trion police officer elected sheriff in November, said he has been notified about possible problems at the pawnshops, but he needs to look into it before making a decision on what to do.

Moonbeam Clock

5 Comments
This is the best thing ever. My wife used to hit snooze 25 times before finally getting out of bed, which meant that I had to wake up 25 times with her. (and I didn't need to, I work from home!). Then I bought her this clock and I no longer hear anything. The light just blinks for a while, and each time you snooze it, it takes less time before it starts blinking. Wait too long and the audible alarm goes off. Seriously, I would have paid 10 X the price for this thing!
hmm... i am a frequent snoozer also, and have always loved the look of this clock in yellow, but I'm afraid of the ultimate alarm, how bad is it?
It's not that bad, but it does wake you up. I think you have to go quite some time before it kicks in though. You will love it.
Hey, is it a plug in clock? I see battery backup, but I can't tell if it plugs in from the website.
I bought one of these a few years back thinking it was like a dawn simulator. Instead, it flashes a light on and off to wake you up. It does wake you up. My husband nicknamed it "the headache machine." The alarm bell is also jarring. I would get up just to avoid the sound of that bell. It does look nice, though.

Stosur's Winning Return
Published October 11, 2010 12:00
OSAKA, Japan - A year ago Samantha Stosur had lost all five of her career finals then came to Osaka for the HP Open and changed all that, going all the way to her first title; she made a victorious return to the event Monday.
Now ranked No.8 in the world and the No.1 seed, Stosur had little trouble against Japan's Sachie Ishizu, storming through the first set in 24 minutes and getting the only break of the second set to go up 5-3 and serve it out, 60 63.
"I didn't know much about my opponent before today. She's very young and the first round is always hard, but I'm happy to win," Stosur said. "I've always enjoyed playing in Osaka, whether it was last year or the ITF junior event here."
Last year, Stosur beat Caroline Wozniacki and Francesca Schiavone in back-to-back matches in the semis and final to win her first career title.
"I'm very, very pleased to win my first title after losing five previous finals," Stosur said after last year's final. "It has been a personal goal for a while, so I'm glad to have achieved it and it's the perfect way to finish my year in singles. My next goal is to reach the Top 10, for which I would need to play like today every day."
Check out the best pictures from last year in Osaka right here!
Marion Bartoli, ranked No.14 in the world and the No.2 seed, also made an impressive start to her HP Open campaign, firing five aces to no double faults during a 62 61 victory over fellow Frenchwoman Julie Coin. Bartoli, 26 years old, and Coin, 27, were playing against each other for the very first time.
No.4 seed Maria Kirilenko also advanced on Day 1 of the International-level tournament, beating Japan's Kurumi Nara in 56 minutes, 61 60. Nara held serve at love in the fifth game of the match; it would be her only time getting on the board against the Russian, who has five Tour titles to her name.
Also scoring first round wins were Coco Vandeweghe, Chang Kai-Chen and Stefanie Voegele. Vandeweghe pulled off the first upset of the week, bouncing No.5 seed Alla Kudryavtseva in just under an hour, 61 62.
Christina McHale, Tomoko Yonemura, Laura Robson and Natalie Grandin earned main draw berths with wins in the final round of qualifying.

Narrow your search
On the smartphone front in the three months ended April 2013, Apple and Samsung were the only manufacturers to see an increase in market share.
A new product from ComScore takes into account both mobile and desktop when sizing a site's total Web audience. That would help some companies, like Facebook and Yahoo, but would hurt others, like Microsoft, which would fall to fourth place from its prior No. 2 slot.
Nearly one in four smartphone owners also make use of tablet computers, according to data from the market researcher.
February's numbers also show that Groupon, Zynga, and Pandora had the greatest percentage gains in mobile out of the top 50 companies.
Feature phone owners are upgrading more to smartphones -- and mostly those running on Android -- according to a new report.
Yahoo sites were the most popular destination for U.S. Web users in January, ComScore says. Yahoo was followed by Google sites, Microsoft sites, and Facebook.
ComScore's stats for February show that Pinterest really is on fire, with a 52 percent increase in unique visitors over a single month.
Two categories of search market share will now be presented: one that only counts searches done with explicit intent, and one that takes a wider view of search.
comScore figures suggest Facebook is now bigger than MySpace. Everyone believes this. Or do they?
Web's dominant traffic counter is overhauling its system, in response to years of complaints from publishers that insist their traffic has been undercounted.

The real story on the latest USF data
Competitive carriers in three states and Puerto Rico receive more funding than the ILECs; one Iowa study area has 19 competitive carriers.
Industry News
Briefing Room
Several news stories recently came out as a result of data released from the Federal Communications Commission about the Universal Service program. What got the most headlines was the fact that AT&T and Verizon topped the list of funding recipients a reality that generated no small amount of outrage.
Unfortunately for small rural carriers, a story also came out that was highly critical of two small carriers that received unusually large amounts of USF funding to provide service to areas that were unusually expensive to serve. In the most extreme example that the FCC identified, this amounted to almost $18,000 per line given in 2009 to Weavtel, a small Washington telco, to serve just 17 lines.
The story noted that for some high-cost, low-population density areas, it would be cheaper to buy everyone satellite service than to subsidize landline connectivity. Thats an idea the FCC already suggested that would appear to make a lot of sense for about 250,000 U.S. households and could eliminate some excesses of the USF program.
But what the story didnt say is something more outrageous than the USF paying a lot to bring service to 17 isolated Washington homes.
Six of the 10 small carriers with the highest per-line USF support, including one of the two referenced in the story, also have at least one competitive carrier collecting support at virtually the same level and all or nearly all of these are cellular operators. Those carriers can collect what is commonly called identical USF support at virtually the same level as the small telco, even though their costs are not the same as the telcos and unlike the telco, they are not required to provide service throughout the entire serving area. Sprint Nextel, for example, earned more than $12,000 per customer for serving 600 people in an ultra-high-cost USF study area (or small rural telco serving area) in Hawaii.
Many USF critics do not appreciate the extent to which competitive, primarily wireless, carriers have contributed to the funds excesses. The same USF data that provided fodder for the stories about AT&T and Verizon, as well as the one about Weavtel, also provides some vivid illustrations of the extent to which wireless carriers are milking the system.
· One USF study area in Iowa has 19 competitive carriers serving a total of 85,000 customers and receiving identical support at an average of $23 per line for a total of more than two million dollars.
· Some other study areas have fewer competitive carriers, but those carriers had more total lines and received larger dollar amounts. In a Mississippi study area, 15 competitive carriers serving a total of more than 900,000 customers received more than $86,000 in support at nearly $100 per customer. And one Alabama study area has 12 competitive carriers serving more than 1.3 million lines, earning $20.55 per line.
· Competitive carriers in three states Hawaii, Mississippi and Nebraska and in Puerto Rico actually received a higher total level of support than the incumbents. In Puerto Rico, the differential was around six to one, with two incumbents combined taking in just under $11,000, while seven competitive carriers raked in more than $63,000.
· More than half of the $435 million that went to AT&T in USF payments in 2009 was for areas where it operates as a competitive carrier and most if not all of those operations appear to be wireless. And about two-thirds of the nearly $680 million that went to Verizon was for areas where it has competitive carrier status. There, too, most, if not all, of the money involved appears to be for wireless operations. (In comparison the most excessive payment to an incumbent rural carrier $300,000 to serve those 17 people in Washington -- appears infinitesimal.)
· All told, competitive carriers received nearly $1.3 billion in USF support at the same rate as the incumbent landline carrier, primarily for delivering wireless service in areas many likely would have served without the subsidy.
Small rural telcos have been complaining about identical support for wireless carriers for years and little has been done about it, despite numerous recommendations to do so (most recently in the National Broadband Plan) and despite little opposition.
The most credible defender of the existing rules is the Rural Cellular Association, which argues that many of its members would not be able to offer service without USF support. But undoubtedly those companies represent just a small fraction of all competitive carriers receiving identical USF support today.
Ultimately the solution may be to implement something like the mobility fund proposed in the National Broadband Plan, which aims to provide support for 3G service for wireless carriers in areas that are substantially behind the national average in 3G availability.
Seems like there ought to be some way of fast-tracking that recommendation so todays ridiculous identical support system could be eliminated. The money saved could go a long way toward bringing broadband service to the 7 million U.S. households that cannot get broadband today.

NOTE: if u have a white screen im working on the problem, for some reason the upload to NG isnt really working with my flash. if you do how ever see the flash but the preloader isnt showing its loading. just give it a minute, its loading but i am fixing that too. this would have been fixed before submission but i never saw anything wrong til after the upload sadly.
i advise watching parts 1-10 wich are Vigilance 1-5. Shell 6-7, Delta 8, Vigilance 9-10.
Vigilance 11 - more questions then answers, more missing history, missing explanations. how much can be filled......with little information we have, questions rise as answers are no where to be found, yet.

Now I kind of know wth is going on!! Yays!! Of course, off-handedly figured just where some people I'm not gonna mention came from (although one or two are still missing... or R they?), and kind of freak out about how 1-10 and the first part of this one take place somewhere called Siren, but... YAYS.
also, the blooper reel was epic.

Like it.
I see some of the other comments, and while I agree that there's always room for improvement, that'll come with time. The important thing is the story, and it sounds like you've got this one very well-plotted out. I can see a lot of potential for this, maybe even epic potential. I look forward to seeing where you take this. :-)
thanks man much appreciated :)
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars October 2, 2009
ok soo
see i really did like this. first, i like the whole mood, and tha ambience created. it could be you caught me at a good time. anyways, what really needs work is the animation itself. to many still shots, and to many rasterized pictures. not enough movement at all. but at least the vo was decent, and given i havent seen any other episode of this, the story seems well thought out. over all a 7 because it was intertaining, but did lack alot on the part of effort
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars October 2, 2009
not bad
i like the story its ok but the art could be beter take some art lessons or study some drawings and might whant to use a filter on your mic to sum up get filter and improve your skill in drawing its not too hard just some effort and just do some more screen shots and make more movement in your vids its not so hard and it will mean the diference between a good vid and a bad one. peace
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars October 2, 2009
you have a decent series here but i must say, there is such a thing as too much story build up. you should take it back a couple of notches and get with the action.
ill do it as i see fit so no thanks

Gallbladder Cancer - Overview
ON THIS PAGE: You will find some basic information about this disease and the parts of the body it may affect. This is the first page of Cancer.Net's Guide to Gallbladder Cancer. To see other pages, use the menu on the side of your screen. Think of that menu as a roadmap to this full guide.
Gallbladder cancer occurs when normal cells in the gallbladder change and grow uncontrollably, forming a mass called a tumor. A tumor can be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous, meaning it can spread to other parts of the body). Primary gallbladder cancer is cancer that starts in the gallbladder, as opposed to cancer that begins somewhere else in the body and spreads to the gallbladder.
About the gallbladder
The gallbladder is a pear-shaped organ located just under the liver. The gallbladder stores bile, a fluid made by the liver that helps to digest fats. Bile is released from the gallbladder through a tube, called the common bile duct, as food is broken down in the stomach and intestines.
The gallbladder's wall is made up of three main layers of tissue: the mucosa, which is the innermost layer and covers the wall of the gallbladder; the muscularis, the middle layer of smooth muscle; and the serosa, the outer layer. Primary gallbladder cancer begins in the inner layer and spreads into the outer layers as it grows.

Reading For Pleasure – Online Resource Guide
Welcome to the NUT's Reading4Pleasure zone. Here you can find the NUT's policy booklet on the importance of reading for pleasure, as well as the on-line resources guide. This contains a wealth of practical suggestions about how activities to promote reading for pleasure can be introduced back into the classroom or organised on a whole school basis. The on-line guide also suggests professional development activities, ideas for whole school policy development and sources of further information designed to extend teachers' knowledge of high quality reading resources.
The section will be regularly up-dated with members' contributions so why not bookmark it so it can be your first port of call for all matters concerned with reading for pleasure?
Our award winning exhibition stand at the political party conferences this autumn provided a useful platform from which to speak about our campaign to make Reading for Pleasure a fundamental part of childhood and learning. Those who visited it, including senior politicians, journalists, Olympic medallists and celebrities, recorded their favourite children's book in our enormous book and enthused about the pleasure they found in reading. They largely shared concerns about the Government's nonsensical Year 1 phonics check, and the importance of making reading enjoyable.

Daniel Pauly Talks Fish on 'Fresh Air'
On the heels of his piece in The New Republic, Aquacalypse Now, fisheries guru and Oceana board member Dr. Daniel Pauly has a two-part interview on NPR's "Fresh Air" yesterday and today.
Here he is talking with host Terry Gross about orange roughy:
GROSS: But I have to say the fish that you mentioned, orange roughy, Chilean sea bass, monkfish, they're very tasty.
Prof. PAULY: Oh, no problem with that. In fact, the flesh of very old animal in the water is strangely - is firm and it's white, beautiful fillet. And it's richly fat. Yeah, this is good fish. The problem is that this fish are long-lived. If you take orange roughy, they reach up to 150 years. And they...
GROSS: Wow, really?
Prof. PAULY: ...yeah. The oldest has been aged that old. And they mature at 30 years.
GROSS: Wait, wait. I just want to make sure I understand you correctly. You mean, each fish lives 150 years?
Prof. PAULY: The one that survive can live up to 150 years. And they become mature, they become adult at 30 years, older than us, twice older than us. So you are eating something that is older than your grandmother when you're eating one.

Coca-Cola stock: Time to buy?
As the beverage giant reports an increase in earnings, this may be the time to grab its shares.
By Andrea Tse, TheStreet
Coca-Cola (KO) reported an increase in third-quarter earnings amid solid volume growth.
The company said net income attributable to shareholders of the Coca-Cola Co. increased by 8% to $2.055 billion, or 88 cents a share, from $1.896 billion, or 81 cents, a year earlier.
Shares of Coca-Cola were rising 0.5% to $60.32 in midday trading.
Net operating revenue rose by 5% to $8.426 billion from $8.044 billion as volume increased 5% in the quarter, and it was especially pronounced in the international markets.
Still, Stifel Nicolaus anlayst Mark Swartzberg noted in an equity research report that "Mexico, which was flat in the quarter, is our number one area of focus or concern as a laggard in the company's larger track record of growth."
He also noted that the quarter included a 7% concentrate increase that "drives revenue -- compared to a unit volume increase of 5% . . . implying third-quarter EPS benefited from the concentrate increase."
Overall, Swartzberg continues to view Coca-Cola shares as attractive.
On average, analysts expected earnings of 89 cents on revenue of $8.3 billion.
There were no share repurchases during the first three quarters of the year because of Coca-Cola's bottling transaction with Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE), which was completed after the close of the third quarter.
Coca-Cola expects to repurchase about $2 billion in shares by the end of the year.
Barclays Capital's Michael Branca told investors in a note that he thinks the earnings results are a "clear positive for" Coca-Cola. "We would expect the stock to very quickly march up to the top of our $58-to-$64 trading range," he said.

Прекрасный отель. Номера требуют небольшого косметического ремонта, но это незаметно на фоне прекрасного обслуживания и широкого выбора развлечений в отеле. На день рождения отель подарил проживание в номере сьют, а вечером пришел официант с тортиком и свечками и happy birthday спел. Было приятно.

Accommodation and facilities:
Very nice resort with excellent staff and very good breakfast. Pools are always well maintained and swimming beach just perfect. Location is on Chaweng, close to everything. Location is unbeatable for those who like a combination of tranquil oasis during the day and more crowded evenings in town. Rooms are rather small for three people. Wifi should be complimentary, although a free Internet access through the hotel s computer is always available.

Very nice hotel with very good facilities the best for family with children for entertainment. Too bad that TV channels dont propose children children (at least 1) this point should be improved. Very nice staff, not understanding sometimes easily what we ask for but willing to do their best. Deluxe rooms are a little bit old in my opinion but the garden view is really nice. I recomment this hotel and I will go back again without any hesitation.
Reservation service:
nice staff very helpful on specific questions (Xmas dinner). Too bad that we could not book the nb of nights required due to hotel s policy!!

We weren t impressed by the Hotel at first glance....but eventually it didn t really matter! We ended up being only at the hotel for breakfast and bedtime. That is Ko samui for you....rent a car or bike and roam around all day long.... Hotel needs an upgrade badly. Chaweng was ideal for us since we were travellig with a 2 yr old and I could make pitstops to a bar or club or even to a 7/11 for any kind of supplies. Renting transportation is a must! We would have lunch at the western beaches and dinner at the north! Must ve driven 100kms plus per day! Centara gets points for location and a good beach....thats about it!
Reservation service:
Tried Sawadee for the first time and was very impressed by the prompt service! We had booked airport transfers and they were on the mark as well. I am definitely booking my next trips with Sawadee!!

Great hotel with great location. Look no further especially if you are travelling with kids - ample activities from badminton to golf. The hotel is spacious that it provides privacy for those who just would like to enjoy peace and quiet too.
Reservation service:
No hassle. It was a pleasure.

Well,as you can see I'm an average Halo player :D I love playing with spawn weapons,and don't like using power weapons much. I like to play a lot of campaign and Firefight when my team isn't online. But when they're online,we mostly play Team Slayer,Big Team Battle, Invasion and Team Objectives. I'm happy with my stats ^_^ (though my K/D ratio was once at 1.72 I think o3o)
Halo REACH + System of a Down + Avenged Sevenfold + Hollywood Undead + All That Remains + Limp Bizkit + Linkin Park + Papa Roach + Korn + Metallica = One Very Relaxed and Happy Fury ^w^b

You can own the world if you can be interested in other people, says Bret Oelke of the University of Minnesota in quoting Jay Abraham Jan. 29 at Tomorrow's Top Producer conference in Chicago, Ill.
"You need to be able to listen and be sincerely interested in other people," says Oelke, an Extension agricultural business management expert. "Every one of you can afford to take the time to be interested in and make other people feel valued and important."
Oelke explains that success is powered by three things: know-how, reputation and a network of contacts. "The formula for success is human capital or what you know times social capital or who you know times reputation or who trusts you," he says.
Oelke encourages farmers, young and old, to ask:
• What do my customers desire?
• What can I provide?
• How do I establish relationships?
• How do I improve relationships?
• How do I maintain relationships?
"Your employees are your customers," he adds. "What's important to them? Is time off more important than a bonus or vice versa. Employees want to be valued and respected as an important part of the business."
If you are a junior partner in the operation, Oelke says to ask yourself what your supervisors want. "They typically want a job completed, completed now and the way they would have done it with minimal oversight," he says. "You need to find a way to get your ideas heard up the chain."
Most farmers don't think of their partners and family members as customers, but they are, Oelke reminds. "What do they want?" he asks. "They want your time and these are your most important customers."

Alleged maintenance-related gaffes at Trans States Airlines, GoJet Airlines and Executive Airlines prompted the FAA to propose more than $3.1 million in civil penalties against the carriers in late June. The proposed fines against St. Louis-based Trans States Holdings subsidiaries TSA and GoJet totaled $2,476,075, while American Eagle unit Executive Airlines faces a $700,000 penalty.
GoJet Airlines
The FAA is proposing a $450,000 civil penalty against Dassault Falcon and its completion center in Little Rock, Ark., for improperly plating certain parts and installing them on airplanes. The agency alleges that after receiving a warning notice on this issue in January 2008, Dassault Falcon approved 18 airplanes for return to service between March 2008 and April 2009.
Mitsubishi Aircraft scored an enormous marketing coup last month when it signed its first customer outside Japan for the 78- to 92-seat MRJ. The letter of intent, signed by St. Louis-based Trans States Holdings, owner of Trans States Airlines and GoJet, calls for a firm order for 50 airplanes, along with options for another 50.
Mitsubishi Aircraft scored an enormous marketing coup today when it signed the first letter of intent from a non-Japanese airline for its new MRJ. The LOI, signed by St. Louis-based Trans States Holdings, owner of Trans States Airlines and GoJet, calls for a firm order for 50 of the 78- to 92-seat airplanes, along with options for another 50.
Trans States Holdings president and COO Rick Leach has seen his company through rough patches in the past, and he has helped the RAA tackle "challenges" of many sorts from his position as an association board member. But as this year's RAA chairman, Leach finds himself presented with a rare opportunity–a chance make a tangible difference during a time of genuine economic upheaval.
A new division of Hulas Kanodia's Trans States Holdings will start flying scheduled service on August 1 with the first of up to 30 Bombardier CRJ700s, according to an application for a public convenience and necessity certificate filed with the DOT. Registered as GoJet Airlines, the new operation will fly as a United Express partner from St.
The DOT on July 15 issued Trans States Holdings' GoJet unit tentative approval for a certificate of public convenience and necessity, bringing it a step closer to launching service as a United Express carrier. The new entity, established in December to fly 70-seat jets for United, would start flying by the end of this month with a pair of CRJ700s if all goes according to schedule.
The pilots of St. Louis-based Trans States Holdings subsidiary GoJet Airlines have elected the Teamsters union as their collective bargaining representative. The Teamsters filed for representation with the National Mediation Board on September 15, the day GoJet flew its first revenue flight, and after six months of lobbying received near unanimous approval from the approximately 100 pilots.
GE Commercial Aviation Services (GECAS) has agreed to buy five more Bombardier CRJ700 regional jets for subsequent lease to St. Louis-based GoJet Airlines, the Canadian manufacturer announced last month. Four of the airplanes involve conversions of conditional orders. The other represents a new firm order.

Jesse J inverted? Makes me want a wig real bad.
It's great when the hair blogs I stalk and ask to feature for Follow Friday, turn out to have a cool curator behind them. The Uh Huh Hair blog (name taken from a PJ Harvey album) is crafted by Rachel, a journalist with an unhealthy obsession with hair and beauty. Her words, not mine!
Where do you get your hair inspiration?
I work for Hairdressers Journal magazine, so I spend all my time surrounded by beautiful imagery and am lucky enough to go to lots of hair shows and see the masters at work. Otherwise inspiration comes from all the stylish people who live in my area of London (New Cross = art students = good hair), all the crap on my Google reader, 60s girl groups, random bits I find on Tumblr….
Who are your hair heros?
Ronnie Spector, Brigitte Bardot, Cher and those 60s girl groups again.
What are your top 3 hair products?
Pre-Game Texture Spray, Moroccanoil by the gallon and Kevin Murphy Wave Clips - my new obsession.
What's your most memorable hairstyle?
A white blonde wig I wore for a fancy dress party as Gwen Stefani - it's the one colour my hair has never been but I loved it. I'm far too lazy for the maintenance of going blonde for real!

Bit.ly CEO Peter Stern resigned Monday. LinkedIn
Talk about abbreviated. The Silicon Alley-based link shortening service Bit.ly today lost Peter Stern, its chief executive officer. Hired in May of 2011, the serial entrepreneur has yet to release an explanation, leaving that responsibility in his now former employer's hands.
"Bitly is announcing today that Peter Stern has resigned to pursue other interests," wrote Bit.ly board member Sam Mandel in the statement on the site's official blog.
According to the same post, Stern will remain a shareholder in the company.
Citing unnamed sources, TechCrunch reported that the "overall health and direction of the company is in question."
That's not surprising. With sites like Twitter and Hootsuite now providing their own link-shortening services, Bit.ly, which more or less created the industry, has seen increasing competition.
But, Stern is an entrepreneur who in 2006 founded collaboration and messaging company Zenbe, sold in June 2010 to Facebook. And before that, in 1996, he co-founded Datek Online, an online brokerage firm, merged with Ameritrade in 2002, according to his LinkedIn page.
So, with a professed and ongoing interest "in early-stage investment opportunities, especially if they create markets out of previously non-marketable things" for now, it remains totally possible that Stern really has moved on to another opportunity.
Though with such short notice, he may not want to include Bit.ly on future resumes.
We've reached out to Bit.ly and will keep you posted.

Removed the gifs associated with this post because it's a big long photoset and I didn't feel like clogging up my blawg, but here it is.
i don't really get involved in fat politics anymore, but man i'm seriously sick of seeing this girl all over my internet. i'm sick of her speaking for fat bodies and being heard over said fat bodies. the fact that this gifset alone has 8K notes makes me wanna puke. fat people have been saying this, exactly this, for 50+ years. but until a thin, conventionally attractive white person says the same thing, thus validating it, no one listens. sorry guys, but this is horseshit.
I could give a fuck less who posts it, who says it, who makes it popular, who makes it into gifs, or who screams the loudest about it; it's all about the message, not the messenger.
Shaming a woman who is using her voice and audience to express body positivity is insane. Devaluing her opinion just because HER BODY is conventionally attractive is just as bad as only valuing the opinions of conventionally attractive people.
lol privilege and systematic oppression and good allyship are just a joke then i guess silly me
Passing this on while I form some thoughts…I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Anyone else?
I just responded to this but no one is devaluing her response, it is important but understanding that the space that Laci Green takes up is one based in thin privilege is important as well. If I was the person behind the videos the chance that they would have 8,000+ reblogs is slim to none, but I am also a smaller fat so there might be more following than someone who is larger than me because I do have some thin privilege myself.
Her being a thin conventionally pretty white girl gives her a platform to speak and makes people feel that her words are important. A fat person saying the same thing can and is often seen as someone who is bias, has an agenda etc. The same goes when a white person who talks about racism, a man who talks about sexism etc.
The weight of what someone is saying comes with the privileged space that they take up and when you do not take up that space you most likely will also find people who do not take your words seriously.
From thisisthinprivilege.tumblr.com Linda Bacon said it best,
"That fat people get screwed over daily has made my life a hell of a lot easier. Ironically, it has even resulted in me being seen as an expert on the fat experience and asked to speak on the topic regularly. People seem to give more credence to my words than if they were spoken by a fatter person – after all, I'm not just saying them to rationalize my existence."
