Pencook '16, Lindsey Matthews '15
Nearly 100 Randolph-Macon College students traveled abroad during January Term (J-term) 2013. But other students didn't have
to go farther than Richmond for a cultural experience.
The 18 students enrolled in Spanish Professor
Patricia Reagan's class, Spanish Service-Learning, gave 418 hours of service to
a variety of non-profit agencies serving Spanish speakers in Richmond, including
the Healthcare Clinic of Crossover Ministries, The Office of Multicultural Affairs,
the Legal Aid Justice Center and the Virginia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
"This course serves three purposes," says Reagan. "First, it gives students a chance
to fill a need in the community by volunteering in non-profit agencies that help
Spanish-speakers. Second, the hands-on practice brings the Spanish language alive
in a way that classroom practice cannot. Third, the in-class portion focuses on
Latino immigrants in the United States, the struggles they face, and the skills
that students need to communicate in the community."
Reagan placed students in agencies where they could explore possible career interests.
Marianna Wills '14, a Spanish major and
mathematics minor who is following a pre-med
track, worked at the Medical Clinic of Crossover ministries interpreting and translating
for clients.
Reflecting on the experience, Wills says, "I am not only more confident in my ability
to speak Spanish, but also in my ability to understand the conditions of the Spanish-speaking
people who want to come to the United States for a better life. Interacting with
immigrants gave me a completely different outlook."
The course allowed students to have experiences with cultures very different from
their own. Elanya Chin '13, a philosophy
and international studies major
and ethics and Spanish minor, studied in Chile
in fall 2012. Chin likens Reagan's course to her
study-abroad experience, as it pushed her out of her comfort zone.
"This course taught me that breaking out of my bubble can be as simple as driving
20 minutes into Richmond," says Chin, who served at the City of Richmond Office
of Multicultural Affairs by translating and interpreting for clients. Like other
students, she found this course to challenge her limits, but she also found benefits
within those challenges.
"I learned that by giving more than I thought I could, I get it all back, through
smiles and personal growth," she says. "My compassion for others has deepened simultaneously
with my insight into the struggles and goals of the Hispanic community in Richmond
and beyond."
Topics of the classroom included myths and facts about immigrants and the immigration
debate, the Latino population in the United States and in Virginia, border crossing,
and political issues such as immigration reform, deportations, deferred action and
the Dream Act.
"I intentionally overwhelmed students with as much information as possible about
Latino immigration in the United States," says Reagan. "I then helped them sort
out their opinions while they were faced with the realities of immigrant issues
at their placement sites."
Cheral Byron '15 and Kristina Mitchell '15, who
worked at the Legal Aid Justice Center, helped local Attorney Phil Storey educate
Latino apartment renters of their rights and responsibilities in Virginia.
"Affordable housing is a huge issue for low-income people generally, but immigrants
with limited English skills are especially vulnerable," says Storey. "It was very
helpful to have Cheral and Kristina go to Latino shops and apartment complexes with
Latino renters, talking with them in Spanish and giving them our written materials,
which explain about how to protect their rights to fair and decent housing."
Hannah Pencook '16, who worked with the Virginia Hispanic Chamber
of Commerce, says that the legal clinic where she volunteered helped her draw conclusions
regarding the course material.
"This course changed me by putting real faces to the problem of immigration," says
Pencook. "I met people who are trying their best to become legal residents, and
it really hit home that undocumented immigrants are hard-working people like anyone
The agencies where the students worked reaped significant benefits. Tanya Gonzalez,
manager of The City of Richmond Office of Multicultural Affairs, says, "It was great
to have Randolph-Macon students helping in the office. They assisted with a wide
range of tasks and they brought fresh perspectives, positive energy, and much needed
support to the OMA. Thank you to Professor Reagan and the students for their amazing
community service!"

A Division Bench of the AP High Court comprising acting Chief Justice P. C. Ghose and Justice C. Praveen Kumar on Monday asked the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to respond to the issues raised in a PIL case alleging that the premier agency was giving selective leak of information to the press.
The Bench was perusing the writ petition filed by Bhushnam Bhavanam from Vishakapatnam seeking a direction to the CBI to stop this kind of leakages.
During the arguments, the Bench wondered why an impression was there that the investigating agency was sharing information with the media. Counsel for CBI opposed the petition stating that the petition was based on newspaper reports and there was no proof of the allegations.
Rave parties
The Bench asked the government to respond in two weeks to the issues raised in the writ petition pertaining to rave parties in the city.
The AP Legal Services Authority, through its Secretary, brought to the notice of the court various newspaper reports about a rave party at a resort in the outskirts. The reports disclosed that illegal consumption of drugs and abusive substances was taking place.
Aadhar card for ration supply
The Bench asked Civil Supplies officials not to insist on the production of the Aadhar identity card for supply of essential commodities.
Syed Naeemuddin, a resident of the city, approached the court as party in person stating that ration shop dealers were insisting on production of the Adhaar card in addition to the card issued by the Civil Supplies Department.
The government pleader pointed out that the officers were not insisting for production of the Adhaar card but were collecting data.
De-addiction centres
The State government was asked by the Division Bench to take steps to establish de-addiction centres across the State.
The Bench was disposing off a PIL filed by Mamidi Venu Madhav, a practising advocate, seeking implementation of a policy of total prohibition and a drug-free State.
The petitioner said that the government had taken steps to start the centres only in five districts.
His plea for establishing cells to launch an anti-liquor campaign was not granted by the court.

Eagle Eye
Following the death of his twin brother, Jerry Shaw (LaBeouf) is framed as a terrorist. Arrested by the FBI, he is sprung by a female caller and coerced, along with a single mum (Monaghan), into going on a dangerous mission.
Browse more images »
Round two, then, of D.J. Caruso's updating of Hitchcock classics using modern gadgetry, contemporary paranoia and Shia LaBeouf in for James Stewart/Cary Grant. After 2007's entertaining Rear Window reboot Disturbia, Eagle Eye is North By Northwest 2.0., with an EveryShia accused of a crime he didn't commit, forced to go on the lam with a beautiful gal (M:I-III's Michelle Monaghan), building to a big climax at an American landmark. The result is a hugely enjoyable slice of nifty nonsense that revels in the pleasures of its plotting, and cleverly plays on everyday fears we all share: the fear of invasive technology, of terrorist cells, and of having William Sadler as your dad.
As with 99.9 per cent of all thrillers, the set-up is more satisfying than its resolution. Trading on LaBeouf's eminently likable mix of the charming and the resentful, his Jerry Shaw is a photocopy slave, good with the laydeez but estranged from his pop (Sadler). He is pulled into a malevolent version of Steve Martin's L. A. Story, as out-of-control electronic signs, traffic lights changing at will and TV screens in McDonald's mysteriously coerce and direct both him and Monaghan's single mother on a wild goose chase with Billy Bob Thornton's FBI blowhard in hot pursuit. This is where the movie is most fun, with the anonymous woman on the end of the line turning the couple into unlikely hold-up artists, Japanese tourists and airport security crashers. And when the story delivers the pair into an open plain, it seems ripe for a Hitchcockian cropduster to hove into view. But Caruso has a different shock in store. He's saving his 'cropduster' moment for later.
Minus a lovely little scene in which Shaw quizzes Rachel about her kid, you get little in the way of characterisation. So it is a good job that Eagle Eye delivers practically non-stop action. After a summer packed with pixels, Caruso orchestrates his spills with a satisfying physicality; you feel that stuntfolks are mostly doing this stuff in front of your very eyes. From a bruising car chase down busy boulevards that segues into a breaker's yard with cars being swung around like wrecking balls, to fisticuffs backstage at an airport, Caruso whisks his action into a spectacular but believable frenzy. He's aided by his lead. LaBeouf doesn't act running; he runs. Not playing second fiddle to huge machines or Indiana Jones, he finally earns his action-man stripes.To reveal much more is to quash Eagle Eye's chief what-happens-next delight. Suffice it to say, we get half-baked sub-plots involving Rosario Dawson's Air Force investigator exploring the death of Shaw's twin — Shia with neater hair — and an under-utilised Michael Chiklis as a Secretary Of Defense at the centre of a military fuck-up. It is when all these plot-twists start to coalesce that Eagle Eye's ludicrousness becomes ever more apparent — but it's a good kind of ludicrous. Caruso keeps everything moving so quickly and with such panache that you will barely notice or care. If he doesn't yet have the craft and clarity of a Cameron or his executive producer Spielberg, let alone Hitchcock, he's getting there.
A fun techno romp, mixing great bang for your buck with insights into the dangers of restricting civil liberties. Now, anyone for Shia killing blondes dressed as his dead mother?

The Socioeconomic Gradient of Obesity in Ireland
AbstractUsing the nationally representative Slan dataset we calculate concentration indices for the incidence of obesity for men and women. We finder higher concentration indices for women than for men, but we also find that concentration indices fell between 2002 and 2007. However this appears to be owing to an increased incidence of obesity amongst better off people rather than decreased obesity amongst the less well-off. A decomposition of the concentration indices suggest that the greatest contribution to the gradient comes from the combination of lower rates of obesity amongst those with 3rd level education and their higher income.

|Update to Mac OS X Terminal, Part 3

This article is useful, however, it appears that there are a number of ways to get sendmail working on 10.1.5 again. It would be handy to have a description of why some of these steps were implemented.
I have been able to get sendmail running correctly (time will tell) without adding the second sendmail line. I have also include a procedure during the boot process to change the protection of root directories so that I do not need the DontBlameSendmail feature.
As a final comment/question, the default sendmail configuration that is supplied by apple seems to be geared toward server systems supporting mail relaying using configuration files to maintain security. It would be useful to have a template configuration that was oriented for non-SysAdmin types that want just a simple secure environment to support just their machine.
Showing messages 1 through 2 of 2.
I agree

I also running 10.1.5 with sendmail using only one instance and setting the permisions in the sendmail startup script. It seems that everything runs fine. I am sending mail from Mail.app to the outside world through smtp server at 127.0.0.1, and get mail from my local unix acount.the mail command also works for both local mail to myself or root and mail to internet addresses.
I wonder why the second sendmai instance is needed.
2002-06-13 12:37:28 Chris Stone | [View]
Excellent points, Allen!
I will be updating thes article again once I find the soution that works for everyone. Then again, by that time, hopefully Jaguar will come with sendmail all ready to go...!

We purchased this for a bathroom remodel. Very well made. I actually wondered whether two anchors and screws would be enough to hold it because it is heavier than most fixtures. Installed very easily. I am very happy with the purchase.The instructions are the international language of pictures, which are not very helpful (e.g., what size drill bit do I need for the anchors?), but that said, installs pretty easily.
found the perfect towel bar, tp bar and towel hooks for our bathroom, the towel bar has loosened since installation an will need tightening
Amazing quality. I remodel homes and Kraus is the way to go.
Krause makes great products at a great price and high quality
We are very happy with the fixture, we have found much more selection, & better prices than any other site

City officials aren't the only ones trying to attract new businesses to Menifee. A group of residents have started a campaign to bring to town a Trader Joe's market.
Trader Joe's, which provides specialty food items in addition to fresh fruits and vegetables, is popular with shoppers seeking healthy alternatives to processed foods. The nearest Trader Joe's story is in Temecula, which isn't close enough for some Menifee residents, including Mandy DeMuth.
DeMuth and several of her friends and co-workers have gone on the Trader Joe's website to request a store location in Menifee. She hopes that by getting enough local residents to request a Trader Joe's location here, it may one day become reality.
"The nearest three stores -- Winchester Road in Temecula, Corona and Riverside -- are too far for my 77-year-old mom to drive," DeMuth said in an email. "My mom shared with her fellow citizens this link to try to let Trader Joe's know that we're here and want a store built locally -- but most of the senior community are not computer savvy. Please help me spread the potential of bringing Trader Joe's locally."
DeMuth said she and her mother prefer to shop at Trader Joe's "because of the quality products, pre-prepared portions and customer service for the value ... We like the choice of fresh items that are quick for me or easy for her. Gluten free, fat free and low sodium products are simple for us to identify there."
She says the parking lot at the Temecula store is small and crowded and that even that drive is sometimes too much for her mother. She urges residents to request a Menifee location for Trader Joe's by visiting the store's webpage here...
Menifee city council member Sue Kristjansson is also a proponent of a Trader Joe's store in Menifee.
"Trader Joe's would be a great addition to our city," Kristjansson said. "It's a great specialty store that has products not necessarily available in traditional grocery stores.
"We absolutely need to encourage businesses to come to Menifee. We have a fantastic city and these businesses are sure to thrive in this environment."
The Trader Joe's "location request" page listed through the above link allows residents to list their name, contact information, city for which a Trader Joe's is requested and any comments the person would like to make.
Menifee Residents Seek Help in Making a Pitch for a Trader Joe's Store in Town
City officials aren't the only ones trying to attract new businesses to Menifee. A group of residents have started a campaign to bring to town a Trader Joe's market.

I'm all for a Trader Joe's; how about a theater too?ReplyDelete
A Trader Joe's would be nice, but so would a THEATER!ReplyDelete
AWESOME JOB DOUG! THANK YOU!!! :)ReplyDelete

Trader Joe's is okay, but don't we really need other businesses first? How about a Theater first, gives us all (including teenagers/young adults too) something to do. What about a truck stop for all the truckers that live here and near by? How about commerical and manufacturing plants so all those that now drive hours and hours just to get to a job. Trader Joe's is a speciality store and to ME, its way down the list of what we SHOULD be bringing to Menifee. I'm actually surprised that Sue isn't seeing a bigger picture. We have two farmers market, one on Friday in Sun City, the other on Sunday at San Jacinto College, a big one in Temecula if you want fresh fruit and veggies how about supporting the farmers that grow these fresh products and shop at one of these?ReplyDelete
Dear Anonymous and other skeptics,ReplyDelete
Get out and take a drive around - your truck stop is already in progress, Sketchers has built a manufacturing facility near by and March is now a GLOBALport! All the things you seek are coming - but the construction is not "booming" at this time - we do, however, have places to put a Trader Joes and a theater. Thing is, if we let these store fronts stay empty - it impacts us ALL... at 77, you probably wont feel like fighting the heat to find a piece of fruit either. If we did have more manufacturing "plants" in the area, it could cause pollution - just like the compost yard in Romoland - you cant have a house with in 4 miles of that with out experiencing the gut wrenching stench that comes from part of your "bigger picture" - be careful what you wish for. When your employed, you appreciate things that are simple and trustworthy - to us, this is Trader Joes - it's small enough she can get right in and right out. We wanted to share the ability to communicate to the store that we're here and we wish to bring them business. If there's a store or something that you wish to bring locally - do as we did - petition your friends and family, and if your lucky, someone like Menifee 24/7 will hear you too & also share your desire. Good luck!

Trader Joe's would be nice. A Costco would be nicer and bring significantly more revenue to the city.ReplyDelete
As far a a theater goes, I don't see the need for it considering the digital media formats available today. I for one prefer the peace and quiet of watching a movie in my own home. No kids talking on their cell phones, texting, etc.
- AnonymousJune 22, 2012 7:22 AM
I live in Sun City and detest going to Temecula to shop for groceries. MY WHOLE FAMILY loves Trader Joe's. Every time I do go to the Temecula TJs I say, "I wish they'd build one in Menifee." So, I vote for a Trader Joe's -- and a theater would be nice for the kids...there's not really a lot for them to do here in Menifee.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 22, 2012 9:05 AM
to 6:51p The last I looked March is in Moreno Valley,NOT menifee! You were NOT clear where exactly is this truck stop, I do drive around I haven't seen any signs of one being built, from what I've observed they park their trucks near Taco bell off Ethanac Rd in a empty lot. Is it in Menifee, then where? Oh pls 77 is your excuse for not planting your own garden, I'm not saying we can't have a Traders Joe, I stated it shouldn't be a priortity, Yes, Indeed I 'want' manufacturing here and commericial building here! You have young ppl every day living here who have to drive hours on our freeways to work.Why shouldn't they be able to drive 10 minutes to work? You're retired and apparently have lots of time on hands,so go plant a garden! You dig a hole and put a seed in it.simple! Am I going to fight for these things, you bet,do I wish for them, of course! You knew when you moved here about dairy farms, pollution, its been here for years, your mistake was not doing your homework. I hope you do get your traders joe...eventually.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 23, 2012 3:19 PM
I just recommended 2 sites, the former Blockbuster store on Bradley/Newport and the former Alberstons store on Newport/Muiretta. These locations will also bring residents (and their $$) from the cities of Canyon Lake,Lake Elsinore, and Muiretta. As for bringing manufacturing & theaters to Menifee - everyone doesn't have the network required for those ventures. BUT if we ALL do what we can in our areas of influence THEN we will see good things happens for Menifee. Be positive, negitivity is very draining and not productive.ReplyDelete
- Irene Martin (resident since 2003)June 24, 2012 10:19 AM
I love the idea of a movie theater & any other businesses that will keep Menifee residents like me from having to drive all over the place for entertainment & food varieties. I commute just under 90 mi. For work (round trip) & I absolutely would love to avoid going into the other cities for things we could & should have here in Menifee! Lets keep our $ in our city.ReplyDelete

Trader Joes is cheap, good quality food. Why not encourage a business that has good practices, for itself and the environment? A good quality grocery store would be beneficial to everyone!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 25, 2012 6:37 AM
How about a bowling alley? with a snack bar for the younger ones and parents to go to? It can fit into the old Albertsons!! Fun too! Just a thought. Anybody like that idea? There can be leagues and bring the community together.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 25, 2012 7:22 PM
Trader Joes or a Sprouts/Henrys. We need a grocery store with more organic and fresh locally grown vegetables. We have lots of elders and people with cancer and various diseases that need better, fresher, organic fruits veggies. Also many of these stores have a little coffee, lunch area which would be a draw as well.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 26, 2012 9:59 AM
As for organic and fresh grown veggies, where are all the rural folks? No Farmers here? Menifee is surrounded by rural and we 'need' to bring in a store? Support your FARMERS MARKETS THAT ARE HERE! The veggies and fruit etc come right out of the very land the rural folks keep pushing here in Menifee..why would we need these stores to bring in fresh produces from where,Sacramento, Imperial Vly? When you have it twice a week right here under your noses! Friday, all day in SUN CITY, there is your OLD FOLKS! Sunday at San Jacinto for everyone else. I'm simply not getting why your NOT shopping at the farmers Markets and helping out the local farmers.ReplyDelete
Secondly, Albertsons is HUGH building and no doubt expensive to rent the entire building for a Traders Joe. The Blockbuster would be excellent for a Dennys! Newport is going to be a road that will connect lots of cities from I-215 to I-15 and most likely others as well, it WILL be a busy road for LOTS of folks, NOT just Menifee...You need to think bigger and NOT locally, like McDonalds has vision for, THEY did their homework! This is the way the future is going to be, thousands of car's zipping thru our community going someplace else. If the City does there homework they'll put the right restaurants and stores on those roads, and Scott Rd to bring in the money for Menifee, FROM those who are passing thru.

I bought some fruit from the Menifee Market and got home and notice on the labels they were from Peru. Never went back there again. It was just like a flea market. We do need a Traders Joe's or Sprouts!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 28, 2012 6:24 AM
10:39a I don't know what Menifee Market you went to, it sounds like a regular grocery store instead of a OPEN Farmers Market that have 'fresh produce'. One would think Trader Joes' paid you folks to advertise for a Trader Joes to rush into Menifee. That's great but please support the local farmers here first! This store can arrive later when the city is more established. Besides, the farmers pick right out of their field right before selling, how much fresher can you get? I get the feeling its NOT the produce at all you want but, to be SEEN in a yuppies market. I'll bet your the same folks who sit outside at Starbucks-right?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 28, 2012 12:17 PM
The Menifee Market I WENT to was the one on Sunday's at the college. It was not a regular store, that is what is pissing me off, that the label DID say Peru. I really didn't see any real farmers vegetables or fruits there. The one in Sun City on Friday's does seem to have more of the real deal. Oh, I am not some yuppie that just wants to be seen in a Trader Joe's or do I even go to a Starbucks. I am an old grandmother, not some bimbo. It just sounds like your just an idiot!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 29, 2012 6:05 PM
I bet any of you that a Cardenas hispanic market will come first before your trader joes or theaters or even a bowling alley.... just wait! by the way, my uncles own Cardenas markets and are pushing hard to come to the great city of menifee...ReplyDelete
- Sue KristjanssonJune 30, 2012 9:43 AM
Great debate! My philosophy is "all of the above"! I think a Cardenas would be excellent, a Costco would also be amazing, as would any other business that shows an interest in Menifee. The Farmer's Markets provide us with a great community opportunity with quality products developed locally or near locally (for the most part) and I see those continuing to grow and be successful.ReplyDelete
The best thing about Menifee is the diversity of our people - all ethnicities, philosophies, demographics and with that a great opportunity to mould Menifee into a community that has something for everyone. Not to mention we need to capture the tax revenue that we are allowing to slip out to neighboring communities.
Great article Menifee 247!
it sounds as though you are a farmer who's goods are not selling that well at a local farmer's market? Perhaps you have the ability to get around at exactly 9am-1pm on a Friday or Saturday - GOOD FOR YOU! We (and I imagine other employed folks) dont! The old Exxon on Ethanac has changed into a 76 station and they have the big trucks in mind, eventually there will be shops there to entertain the long distance traveler, but in the mean time it's a nice quiet place for weary trucker to catch some undisturbed rest... footsteps from a Starbucks, 24hr Winco, bank, and restaurants. Perhaps it's at the boarder of Perris, but it's tucked in Menifee... (http://blog.srcar.org/index.php/2008/12/08/city-of-menifee-ca-city-boundary-map/) the PERFECT location for it!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 25, 2012 5:28 PM
We lived in Temecula when the residents were pleading with Trader Joe's to come to town. Be aware that they have extremely specific demographic requirements before they will build. If they say you need 82,789 residents, and you have 82,788, it won't happen. And that is just the first step in their process. That's why it took over 10 years for TJ's to come to Temecula. Don't hold your breath in this economy.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 16, 2012 5:50 PM
I love Trader Joes and it would be really nice. I would really love to see a Henry's Market. Their sales and produce quality are way better than the grocery chains. They could take the old Albertsons. Hemet and Temecula is just way too far to drive, but when I go there, I always stop there to stock up. I do not want to see Fresh & Easy. A theather would be cool also for sure.ReplyDelete

Lee County-- A new restaurant is on its way to Lee County after commissioners amended an ordinance to pave the way for it.
Chili's plans to build at the southeast corner of the Wal-Mart parking lot on Ledo Road but that was too close to Byne Memorial Baptist Church.
Tuesday night, commissioners reduced the distance that restaurants serve alcohol must be from churches and schools. Lee County development leaders are happy they tweaked the ordinance.
"It's really no different than the restaurant location of Logan's in Dougherty County several years back in reference to the distance from Deerfield Windsor," said Winston Oxford of the Lee County Chamber of Commerce.
Lee County leaders say construction should begin as soon as architects and engineers finish their plans.

Crystal structure of estrogen receptor beta complexed with 3-Bromo-6-hydroxy-2-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)-inden-1-one
The syntheses of a series of 2-arylindene-1-ones as potent ligands of ERbeta and ERalpha are described. Several compounds exhibited high potency and moderate selectivity for the ERbeta receptor. X-ray and modeling studies were used to understand ligand binding orientation and observed affinity.
Estrogen receptor ligands: design and synthesis of new 2-arylindene-1-ones., McDevitt RE, Malamas MS, Manas ES, Unwalla RJ, Xu ZB, Miller CP, Harris HA, Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2005 Jun 15;15(12):3137-42. PMID:15876535
From MEDLINE®/PubMed®, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
[ESR2_HUMAN] Nuclear hormone receptor. Binds estrogens with an affinity similar to that of ESR1, and activates expression of reporter genes containing estrogen response elements (ERE) in an estrogen-dependent manner. Isoform beta-cx lacks ligand binding ability and has no or only very low ere binding activity resulting in the loss of ligand-dependent transactivation ability. DNA-binding by ESR1 and ESR2 is rapidly lost at 37 degrees Celsius in the absence of ligand while in the presence of 17 beta-estradiol and 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen loss in DNA-binding at elevated temperature is more gradual.
About this Structure
1zaf is a 4 chain structure with sequence from Homo sapiens. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.

text: ETB Travel News > Australia > 7 ways to get more facebook likes 7 ways to get more facebook likes September 9, 2011 Australia, Industry News No comments 7 ways to get more facebook likes Just setting up a basic Facebook page is nowhere near enough these days. You have to work at it every week and entice people to become a part of your online community by offering something of value. Acquiring more fans for your page requires dedication and patience and you have to be willing to pour on the branding in order to get it done. Below are our tips on how to get more fans to like your facebook page. 1. Don't purchase bogus liking services One of the biggest scams out there now revolves around 'companies' telling businesses that they can help them get more fans. Most of these services are bogus and typically result in nothing but fake Facebook accounts that have been set up in order to look like real people. Sometimes these fans are also people who are not in your target market. Facebook likes have to happen naturally. If you need to force them or purchase fans, you are doing something wrong. 2. Start branding your business! If all you have is a website with very little to no branding, it will be a little difficult to build up a following on Facebook. When people follow a Facebook page, they are not following a website, they are following a brand they have made a connection with. This connection comes in many different flavours. You just need to figure out how to connect with your audience, eg around emotion, discounts or special promotions etc. 3. Get a Facebook icon for your website A Facebook Like icon is a great way to build up those Facebook fans and let them know you're online. Position the Facebook like icon in a strategic location on every page of your website so people can find it easily and click on it straight away. 4. Customised Facebook fan page Custom welcome page designs can help your brand stand out just a little bit more than just dropping people off on your wall. Your welcome page also acts as a mini website and you can include links to your website, photo galleries, videos and newsletter sign up forms. Hotels can also include a booking button on the design. 5. Give your audience a reason to become a fan Unless you are a big household brand name, you are going to have to entice your audience to become a fan of your Facebook fan page. Eg by offering discounts, special promotions, or run a competition. 6. Offer a contest Everyone loves free stuff and a contest is a great way to build up your fan base. Many brands will offer a contest but in order to be part of the contest you need to become a fan of the page. 7. Put it in your newsletter If you don't have a monthly newsletter – you should. By placing a link to your Facebook page in your e-newsletter, you can and will significantly increase exposure to your Facebook page. about TA fastrack TA Fastrack is Australia's leading travel, tourism and hospitality industry business improvement and marketing solutions provider.

Albuquerque, NM (Sports Network) - The New Mexico Lobos ran for 361 yards en route to a 35-14 win over the Texas State Bobcats at Branch Field.
Kasey Carrier led the Lobos' (3-3) attack, running for 191 yards and four touchdowns on 23 carries. Carrier entered the game with four career touchdown runs. Jhurell Pressley added 78 yards and a score on 20 carries, and Cole Gautsche ran for 79 yards on seven carries. Quarterback B.R. Holbrook threw just three passes, completing one for nine yards.
Texas State (2-3) quarterback Shaun Rutherford passed for 186 yards on 16- for-21. He also threw two touchdown passes, both in the first half, and an interception. Andy Erickson reeled in a team-high eight catches for 100 yards and a touchdown.
The Lobos got off to a terrific start behind their strong running attack and a Bobcats' special teams blunder. On the first drive of the game, Carrier went untouched for a 37-yard touchdown run. Erickson then fumbled on the ensuing kickoff, which led to Carrier's second score on the very next play.
Rutherford quickly cut the deficit in half, throwing a 40-yard touchdown strike to tight end Chase Harper less than a minute later. At the 7:15 mark of the first quarter, three touchdowns had already been scored.
The Lobos added to their lead early in the second quarter when Pressley bullied his way into the end zone from one yard out. The score capped off a nine-play, 39-yard drive in which not a single pass was thrown.
Both teams added a touchdown before the half, and New Mexico took a 28-14 lead into the break.
Texas State received the ball to start the second half hoping to trim the Lobos' lead, but Rutherford was intercepted by Destry Berry on Bobcats' first play from scrimmage. New Mexico took advantage of the miscue, running five plays for 59 yards, including Carrier's fourth touchdown run of the day. Defense prevailed for the remainder of the game, as no more points were scored.
Carrier's performance marked the first time since 2003 that Texas State gave up four rushing touchdowns to one player. New Mexico improves to 2-0 all-time against Texas State.

Gallopin looking to defend yellow on Bastille Day
France's Tony Gallopin celebrates his overall leader yellow jersey on July 13, 2014 - by Jeff Pachoud
Tuesday is a rest day on the Tour while Wednesday and Thursday are hilly transitional stages before Friday's escapade into the Alps.
If the 26-year-old Frenchman can keep hold of the leader's jersey, generously allowed him by a passive Astana team of previous race leader Vincenzo Nibali on Sunday, then he will likely hold it all the way to Friday's summit finish at Chamrousse.
However, just wearing the leader's jersey on Bastille Day is a dream come true for Gallopin.
"It's incredible. It will be a very proud moment to wear the yellow jersey on the national day. I would never have imagined it," he said.
"I think I'll really enjoy it tomorrow (Monday). It won't be an easy day, the guys (going for overall victory) will try to do battle.
"I have just 1:30 to Nibali. I will do my best."
Gallopin knew from Wednesday that he would have a chance to claim his stake for yellow on Sunday after limiting his time losses on the tricky cobbled stage.
He battled hard to get into a breakaway early in the day and once there conserved energy until the final 30km when he went hell-for-leather.
Tony Martin won Sunday's 170km ninth stage from Gerardmer to Mulhouse with a solo breakaway but Gallopin came home just 2min 45sec behind in a 20-strong chase group.
Astana led home the peloton five minutes later and that was enough to give Gallopin the yellow jersey by 1:34 to Nibali.
- Ideal distance -
Astana manager Alexander Vinokourov described the decision to give up the yellow jersey as "a gift to the French people" and Gallopin was not kidding himself.
"If Astana wanted to give away the jersey, I was at the ideal distance, three-and-a-half minutes. Now I'm going to wear it on the national day," he said.
Nibali had been in yellow since the previous Sunday, meaning his team had spent a lot of time working on the front of the peloton.
If there was a surprise, it was that they didn't give away more time, enough perhaps to facilitate Gallopin's chances of keeping it even after Monday's tough stage to La Planche des Belles Filles.
There are seven categorised climbs and the final 5.9km first category ascent to the finish will provide Gallopin with a mighty challenge.
He had already lost 1:40 to Nibali on Saturday's much shorter, though steeper, 1.8km third category climb to the finish in Gerardmer and his hopes of holding yellow after Tuesday's rest day must be considered slim.
As for Sunday's race, Martin proved he was more than just a time trial expert.
His daring solo break from escape companion Alessandro De Marchi with 60km left was reminiscent of the great Eddy Merckx, according to Martin's OPQS team manager Patrick Lefevere.
"To be compared with Eddy Merckx is really a big honour," said the 29-year-old world time trial champion.
"There aren't so many guys in cycling at the moment who can do it like this but I have to go this way because I'm not the guy for big attacks and playing games.
"When I have the gap once, I know that I can make a good race and go really fast. Not just for one hour in a time trial but also three or four hours in a mountain stage.
"Today everything worked perfectly. I had really good legs, good condition, it was my weather (raining in parts).
"With just one (other) guy in the break suits me. We didn't play any games, we were just going. It was just everything perfect."
Martin had gone away from the field with De Marchi around 150km from home but when the Italian wilted on the 10km Le Markstein climb, Martin attacked and never looked back.

"I chose Hudson Montessori School for three of my children because HMS offers each child a personal, individualized educational program that brings out the best of their abilities and personalities, while respecting their learning styles. After attending other public and private schools, I am certain that HMS has the most challenging curriculum available across all subject areas. The warm, safe, and peaceful environment and loving staff have become part of our extended home and family." (HMS Parent)
The education program at Hudson Montessori School offers a unique experience for all learners from Toddlers through Middle School.

After attending other public and private schools, I am certain that HMS has the most challenging curriculum available across all subject areas. The warm, safe, and peaceful environment and loving staff have become part of our extended home and family." (HMS Parent)
The education program at Hudson Montessori School offers a unique experience for all learners from Toddlers through Middle School.
Our program utilizes the Montessori method based on a philosophy and pedagogy set out over one hundred years ago by Dr. Maria Montessori, the first female physician to graduate from the University of Rome. Her dynamic theories of education stemmed from her observations and experience with young children in Italy in the early 1900's.Her method emphasizes the potential of the child and develops this potential through the use of a carefully prepared environment rich in specially designed materials. This provides experiences contributing to the child's mental, emotional, spiritual and physical growth.
Children are grouped in mixed-age classes that offer an opportunity for peer mentoring, collaborative work, and social interaction. The teacher (Director/Directress) acts as a facilitator or guide in the learning process. Through observation of the child, the teacher directs him/her to meaningful activity.
Emphasis is on inner motivation, using the child's natural curiosity and delight in discovery. All of this occurs in a nurturing environment, which builds upon the child's interests and offers activities that fit each individual's needs.
Our graduates transition well into the secondary school experience. Our students achieve success in high school as well as college, gaining admission to prestigious college preparatory and public high schools.
The Montessori method has withstood the test of time and today is considered a premier alternative learning program. Children who have attended a Montessori school are more confident in their abilities, motivated to achieve new levels of knowledge and have a love of learning.
How is Montessori different from traditional schools, and why does it matter? Angeline Lillard has written extensively on the subject, and is reviewed by Time, Scientific American, WebMD, The Washington Post, The Times of London, Fox News, and others.
The Toddler-Parent Program (18 months-3 years)
Our Toddler program was created for your toddler and a parent/caregiver to attend together. In an exploration of the world around them, children and adults will navigate this early learning experience together, making choices of how they will participate in play activities, story time, art, music and science and snack time. Not only is this a wonderful time for your toddler to interact with others, but also a time for adults to discuss topics which are of interest to parents of the young child.
Join us for morning sessions - one or two times a week.
The Children's House Program (2 1/2 - 6 year old)(Half-day or All-Day program)When you enter a children's house classroom at Hudson Montessori School, you will hear the sounds of learning and sense an atmosphere of warmth and caring. Our spacious classrooms offer an attractive and lively environment for the young child. They contain inviting and colorful manipulative materials to assist the child in the acquisition of reading, writing and number concepts. Physical geography, science and nature, the study of different cultures, Spanish language, art and music and movement classes are also an integral part of the child's early school experience.
The non-competitive nature of the classroom environment encourages children to work together, as well as independently. Children are also presented with activities to facilitate successful social and life skills.
There are many who hold, as I do, that the most important period of life is not the age of university studies but the first one, the period from birth to age six. That is the time when man's intelligence, his greatest implement, is being formed. - Maria Montessori
The Elementary Years (Grades 1-6)
The Elementary age child is a part of a dynamic learning environment that fosters self-confidence and self-respect. The mixed-age grouping (6-9 year olds and 9-12 year olds) offers an opportunity for your child to learn the benefits and the techniques of working with others.
The rich curriculum includes the study of mathematics, geometry, literature and language, history, geography, and science (botany, zoology, physics, astronomy.) Students are involved in other activities such as Spanish, Music, Art and Physical Education. Community service, outdoor experiences, and field trips assist to broaden the students' perspectives.
Our aim is not merely to make the child understand, and still less to force him to memorize, but so to touch his imagination to enthuse him to his innermost core.
- Maria Montessori
The Middle School Years (Grades 7 & 8)
Combining innovative teaching methods with traditional and cutting-edge curriculum, the Middle School program offers a unique learning experience. HMS students challenge and stretch their intellectual capacity through discussions and seminars, shared-inquiry, literary analysis, and learning by making connections between disciplines. Lab sessions and field studies in science, algebraic problem solving in math, digital discoveries, experiences in the arts and foreign language study along with learning the value of community service instill in our Middle School students a commitment to lifelong learning.
The Middle School at Hudson Montessori is committed to Dr. Maria Montessori's principles and provides an educational program that responds to an adolescent's individuality, motivating the student to discover by challenging her/himself, thus inspiring self-confidence.
Adolescence is a state of expectation, a tendency toward creative work and a need for the strengthening of self-confidence. - Maria Montessori

Unheated basement, cold main floor, hot 2nd floor (18 Posts)

Unheated basement, cold main floor, hot 2nd floorI am hoping that you all won't mind sharing some wisdom and might have some advice for me.
We own a townhouse/condo in TN, and our home is attached to one other unit. Our basement (which we don't own and have no regular access to) is beneath both townhouse units and is 1,000 sq ft of unheated cinder block on a slab foundation, with no insulation in the ceiling above.
We have forced electric heat, furnace is 2 years old. The furnace is on the 2nd floor, thermostat is on the main floor. In cold months our thermostat will be set at 72 F, and the 2nd floor will reach 10 - 12 degrees higher making it very hot up there and the floor of our main level is too cold to walk on without shoes. It is a long, uncomfortable winter.
I am trying to find a solution to balance the temperature in our house. This is quite a small townhome and there is no place to put a furnace on the first floor, and we do not own our attic space so are unable to install a 2nd zone heating unit up there (which has been suggested). We are not permitted to add heat in any way to the basement which is like an icebox in winter, of course affecting the temperature on our main floor.
To add extra complications, we not only have three outside walls but the unit attached to us has been and will continue to be empty (the owner has moved out of state and is not renting out her townhouse) and is not heated over the winter.
I am so tired of being cold and uncomfortable and we are in a bad situation. We are currently trying to update our house so that we can sell it and want to see if we can do something to even out the temperature here through the Spring.
We are currently updating our main floor half-bath and I wondered if adding radiant floor heating would help at all, even just in that small room, although we have that unheated basement below. We are also going to be updating our small kitchen and would add radiant floor heating to that space as well if it would help make that room more tolerable.
Your thoughts and opinions would be so appreciated. I am at a loss as to what to do. Thank you so much for any help you can offer.

StrangeI have never heard of an arrangement like you describe. You don't own the basement below your condo? Can you elaborate on that situation a little?

Nope, don't own the basement.We really don't. We own from the drywall and flooring in. I have no idea why this is, but it is spelled out in a bunch of documents (deed, insurances, the city, etc.)

?Is it an area controlled , or owned by an association? If so, it would be considered unreasonable to think you you would be forced to keep the divide between your space and the unconditioned space uninsulated. Have you explored this option at all?

condo problemsmaybe the basement is owned jointly by you and the other owners as a common area, in which you should be entitled to enter; and would be partly responsible for any repairs. have a look at your condo association by-laws. the by-laws will also have some sort of requirements for keeping the unit heated, so you could force your neighbor to heat, or loose her unit.
if you can enter the basement, then putting up some insulation on the basement walls, and ceiling would help to improve comfort.--nbc
JenD October 29, 2012 @ 11:39 AM

Common areaYes, you are correct, I should have expanded on that. The basement is considered "common property" and is overseen by the HOA. They do not want any owners in that basement area (they are concerned people will store personal items there as has happened in the past) and they keep it locked. We had to get special permission to get a key to let a plumber in to see the pipes from our half-bath.
I hate to guess at what the cost might be to install insulation on bare cinder block walls and in the ceiling of the basement which has almost no ceiling panels, just bare floor joists above in some places (no wonder we're freezing, right?), but I guess it's a moot point because they won't allow it. At this point I would consider putting a furnace down there if I thought the HOA would let us.
Does anyone know if there is anything I can do to help make my home more comfortable that doesn't involve the basement?

UnconditionedIt's unconditioned space. You don't need to insulate the block walls. You do need to insulate the floor of your condo.It's a relatively inexpensive, homeowner project, that can be done in a couple hours without breaking a sweat.If there was a leak in an exterior wall, the association would be responsible for repairing it. The same applies here. You need to contact the association and tell them that this is completely unacceptable.Tell them that you would be willing to provide the labor to install the insulation that they provide, but either way, it needs to be taken care of, now. Jen......they are just people, and right now, they are standing in the way of you being comfortable. Ask gently, then shove, push, or walk over them.

Unconditioned Space:Paul is absolutely correct.
The walls are not the big heat loss factor. And in the basement walls, the largest heat loss is from grade UP and not from grade down. Based on an average ground temperature.
It is absolutely unreasonable for them to not allow you have insulation installed between the floor joists in the cellar. Your Condo rules must be really poorly written is someone can leave and turn the heat off in their unit. One would argue (not me) that pipes may freeze in the unheated unit. I can't quite figure out if you live on the first floor or the second. This sounds like a big old house that was condo'ed so someone could make a lot of short term cash. Now, everyone is stuck with the results. I see this all the time where I work. The only thing worse are Time Share units.

Ugh.I'm right then, that the basement is the key to all of this, that if we can insulate against the cold coming from there we can make the main floor tolerable and therefore the top floor more pleasant? sigh. Our HOA is not.... accommodating, one of many reasons we want to move, actually. But if insulating the main floor's floor/basement ceiling is the only way to make our living situation more acceptable then I will try to reason with these unreasonable people. Thank you very much for your advice!

....the whole ceiling?It occurs to me... it may be senseless to insulate *half* the ceiling in the basement, is that right? Meaning, in order to keep the cold from coming in to our unit we'd have to ensure that the entire basement ceiling was insulated, including the portion that is beneath our adjoining unit (owned by the aforementioned absent, unreachable, and not to mention penny-pinching homeowner-neighbor)? Is that correct?
Oh, my husband is not going to take this well at all. He's unhappy with the cold but he will remind me that we do not have the budget to insulate 1000 sq ft of basement ceiling. Guess I'd better start saving up.
SWEI October 29, 2012 @ 1:43 PM

the whole basement?If all the floors are uninsulated, your HOA should probably undertake to insulate the whole place. Get an insulation contractor to quote you on wet-spray cellulose or foam or something that can properly fill all the voids and your comfort level will increase quite a bit.
You may still have balance issues afterwards but you need to insulate first.
icesailor October 29, 2012 @ 1:14 PM

Another Question:Do I understand that these units are side by side? Or are they up and down where you own either the first floor or the second floor.
If it is side by side, I think that the Condo Association is full of septic tank sludge. You probably own to the bottom of the first floor floor joists. You have every right to insulate the floor. But understand that the heat loss through the first floor into the cellar isn't all that much. Nowhere near as much as you think. But it will help. You may have other issues.
Tennessee being a "Right To Work For Less" State, and consumers are all junk policies, you may not have a lot of recourse. In Massachusetts, where consumers like myself have a little more control over our lives, we have some remedies for things like this.
It sounds to me like you are suffering from a severe case of unintended consequences.
And you may need a really competent HVAC person go over your system. It may just be seriously out of balance.
If it is an up and down unit unit where you own the up and down, you are probably cold on the first floor and hot on the second in the summer when the AC is on. Hot air rises, cold air falls. Honest.
In the winter, because the heat/AC unit is on the second floor, the heat will tend to stay there. Heated air doesn't like to go down. If you find that the second floor is overheating but the first floor is cold, you need to install fans that will circulate the air in the direction you need it to be.
This is "Air Movement 101". That's why you need a qualified HVAC person. Not Bubba with a truck full of filters.
I've plumbed Multimillion dollar homes with a gas AC/heater in the attic to do the second floor, and one in the crawl space. In the summer, the second floor was so hot, they opened the door for additional cooling. And the attic AC unit never shut off. The first floor was 15 degrees colder than the thermostat setting. And the AC unit never ran.
When I was asked for my opinion about the problem, the owner was told that I didn't know what I was talking about.
Maybe I don't

answersSWEI, yes I agree, but the HOA has already said they will not allow spray foam insulation. They said, and I quote, "How will the floor breathe?" They did not answer when we requested that we be allowed to add bat insulation. We will ask again, tho they have indicated that they will not be paying for any of it. As I mentioned above we will try to get them to pay for material costs and we will tell them we wil pick up labor costs, but again, we will have to pay for labor costs for the entire 1,000 square feet of ceiling insulation, although our unit is only above half, or 500 sq ft.
icesailor -- there are two units side by side. We own the main and 2nd floor of one unit. The main and 2nd floor of the opposite unit is owned by someone else. The basement, which is open space between both units, is considered common area and overseen by the HOA.
We do not have cooling issues, surprisingly. In summer we are quite comfortable on the main floor and the second floor, our a/c works well on both levels.
A well-respect hvac company told us we should consider zone heating, but that isn't an option for us given the layout of our home and lack of access to attic/basement space.
I am contacting three heating and air companies that also have insulation services, to request costs for insulating that basement ceiling. I guess it's a start.

insulationI'm not a fan of spray foam - in large part because it doesn't breathe. Wet-spray (sometimes called damp-spray) cellulose is one option that does. In the hands of a skilled operator with the right binder it can be sprayed underneath floor joists.
AirKrete is another option if the basement is infrequently accessed.

More on heat/cold:JenD,
Just because you are comfortable in the summer with the AC on doesn't mean it is optimal. AC lowers the humidity and your evaporation from your body is part of what you experience as comfort. The cold air from upstairs will fall to the first floor through a stairway unless you have an Open Floor Plan" which is worse.
With heat in the winter, you have described EXACTLY what will happen. The cold air on the second or upper floors will flow down stairs and cool the first floor. Any heat sent to the first floor will rise to the ceilings and travel to the upper floors, overheating the upper floors. Then, many airheads design air systems with built in emphysema. If the return for the second floor air handler is on the second floor, and there is no return on the first floor ON THE FLOOR!!!! then it will NEVER heat the first floor but will overheat the upper spaces.
I have done two story electric heat retrofits and to get the owner to do it, and save them money, I remove only the electric baseboard on the first floor, and replace it with hot water baseboards. The first floor well takes care of the second floor. Because the bedrooms are usually on the second floor, I tell them they can always turn on the individual thermostat in a cold bedroom. They have told me that they rarely if ever turn on a thermostat
Trust me. You have a balance/circulation problems.
Years ago, FWA systems had a supply and a return in every room. Today, they only need one by the furnace. I don't know what changed.

PSA friend has likened my situation to "rooms over an uninsulated garage". This might make it easier for some of you to picture, maybe?
As well, this is a large, older complex, built about 1960. We have 140 units here, most of them are rows of two story townhomes, but there are three "duplex-like" sets like mine where there are only two attached, with walkways between sets, and ours are the only ones not built directly on slab foundations, we all have cinderblock basements, with three feet above grade. This was helpful when we had a big flood a few years ago, the biggest in Nashville history -- we were very lucky and took no water in our living spaces, although the basements flooded four feet.
If we get to move, I hope to never live in a condo again.

electric heatYou already have electric heat so I'd turn off the electric furnace and put electric heaters in each room. I'm partial to liquid filled ones. That way you have control in each room. If Tennessee had longer winters the change would pay for itself with energy savings.
More expensive but even more efficient is ceiling radiant.

SolutionI would recommend a ductless minisplit system and abandon anything located in the "common area". This would allow you to combine your heat and AC and allow for more control on the 1st and 2nd floors. Just my .02 but they are quite efficient and allow room by room control.

text: An unexpected visit from one of his siblings forces a man to examine his own life, as well as his sister's wild streak, in this independent comedy drama. Sam (Lawrence Michael Levine) is almost 30 years old and living in New York City as he helps his parents get through their divorce. Sam is an artist whose career seems poised to rise or fall at any moment, and he struggles to stay focused on his work while he juggles the attentions of several women. One day, his younger sister, Gabi (Sophia Takal), arrives unannounced and declares she's going to be living with him for the next several months; Gabi is a 20-year-old college student who fancies herself a performance artist but seems to have a shaky grasp of creative discipline. Gabi's performance pieces include playing Twister in the nude and having a man smear whipped cream on her while she's in the nude; Sam is not at all comfortable with Gabi's lack of enthusiasm for clothes or gainful employment, and he's increasingly frustrated with her lack of responsibility. However, Sam sees a reflection of himself in Gabi as he wrestles with his inability to commit to a relationship. Directed by Lawrence Michael Levine and Sophia Takal (who also play Sam and Gabi), Gabi on the Roof in July received its world premiere at the 2010 Cinequest Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
