Don't get me wrong, I love boiled eggs. Seriously, I like them way too much; I just prefer mine without feathers or beaks.
Balut is a fertilized duck egg that is boiled and eaten in the shell. Balut is commonly sold as a street food in the Phillippines and rumored to be an aphrodisiac.
The development of the egg before it can be cooked is a matter of local preference. In the Philippines, the ideal balut is 17 days old. The chick inside is not old enough to have developed a beak or feathers and the bones are undeveloped. The Vietnamese tend prefer their balut mature from 19 days up to 21 days, when the chick is old enough to be recognizable as a baby duck (cringe) and has bones that will be firm but tender when cooked (shudder).

Sunday, March 03, 2002Kingsport, Tenn. (March 3, 2002) - East Tennessee State took and early lead and got some strong pitching from Trevor Smith (Newport, Tenn.) as the Bucs took an 8-4 win over Indiana at Hunter Wright Stadium in Kingsport. The win gave ETSU (5-4) a 2-1 win in the three-game series with the Hoosiers. Indiana (3-2) got on the board with single runs in each of the first two innings to start the game, scoring both runs without the benefit of a hit off ETSU starter Tim Turner (Marietta, Ga.). Two walks and an error loaded the bases in the first for the Hoosiers, who got a sac fly from Vasili Spanos to plate the first run of the game. In the second Indiana again loaded the bases, this time on three walks, scoring another run on a fielder's choice grounder by Mark Calkins. East Tennessee State got one back in the bottom of the second on an RBI single by Ryan Hyder (Erwin, Tenn.) and then took the lead for good with a three-run third. With runners on second and third and one out, Kirk Keithley (Peoria, Ill.) and Michael Giroud (St. Petersburg, Fla.) came up with consecutive run scoring singles. The Bucs then picked up another run when Keithley and Giroud pulled off a double steal, with Keithley scoring when the catcher's throw to third sailed into left field. ETSU then put the game away with four runs in the fifth. The Bucs put runners at second and third with one out, setting up Matt Traylor (Knoxville, Tenn.), who delivered both runners with a single to right. With two outs Traylor stole second and Bryan Crouse (Kingston, Tenn.) and Chad Boruff (Knoxville, Tenn.) walked to load the bases. Caleb Moore (Knoxville, Tenn.) then laced a single to left that scored Traylor and Crouse to push the Bucs lead to 8-3. Smith came on in the second for Turner and threw 6.1 innings, allowing just four hits and one run to record his first collegiate victory. Zach Otte started and took the loss for Indiana, lasting just three innings and allowing four runs, three earned, on five hits. Keithley led ETSU's offense, going 3-for-5 with an RBI, a run scored and a pair of stolen bases. Traylor and Moore each drove in a pair of runs for the Bucs. Nick Evans had a pair of hits in five trips to lead Indiana. East Tennessee state will be on the road for its next game, taking on nationally ranked Georgia Tech in Atlanta on Tuesday, Mar. 5 at 4:00 p.m.

This week, we're beginning to wind down the Brooklyn emergency boarding facility we opened in November for Sandy victims' pets and pets found in the aftermath. We're trying as hard as ever to reunite the remaining animals with their families—and we need your help!
Since the boarding facility opened, the ASPCA and other local agencies have been working around the clock to track down the families of lost pets through grassroots outreach, flyers, advertising, public service announcements and the Animal Care & Control of NYC's lost pets website.
To date, we've reunited more than 100 pets with their families, but nearly 140 displaced animals still remain at the emergency shelter. Of course, any unclaimed pets will receive the best possible placement when the facility closes, but we'd love for them to go home with their original families.
That's why we need you to share the information below!
If you or someone you know is missing a pet post-Sandy, please tell them to come to the ASPCA emergency boarding facility (at 1508 Herkimer St. in Brooklyn) as soon as possible, or visit the lost Sandy pets site to view all lost pets residing at the facility. Pet parents who wish to reclaim their pets from the boarding facility should also call the Hurricane Sandy Pet Hotline at 347-573-1561..
Thank you!

From Mental Illness to Spiritual Wisdom: A Father-Daughter Odyssey
For 10 years, Barb and Tom Zanzig have been living with the effects of mental illness, she as a young adult with bipolar disorder and he as her father.
In March 2006, they decided to speak out publicly for the first time, not only about the devastating impact of mental illness, but also about the spiritual lessons that each of them learned in the midst of it all. They shared their stories in a very personal presentation to an audience of over 400 at a religious education conference in California.
Through a special arrangement with the Zanzig's, NAMI is pleased to present the full audio of their moving presentation online. Read more and listen online now.
Brochure Offers Tips for Mental Illness and the Holidays
The holidays can be a time of stress for everyone. But this can be especially true for people coping with grief, loneliness, illness, economic concerns, or relationship issues.
Recognizing that people's experiences are often quite different from the "Hallmark" images that bombard us during this time of year, Rev. Susan Gregg-Shroeder of Mental Health Ministries has created a brochure called "Mental Illness: Coping with the Holidays." In it, she offers tips for persons with a mental illness, their families and friends, and guidelines for faith communities.
You are encouraged to download and make copies of this brochure for your clergy, place of worship, and elsewhere in your community. Download the PDF file now from www.MentalHealthMinistries.net.

Iowa State University - Jack Trice Stadium
This panorama of Jack Trice Stadium, taken by Christopher Gjevre, captures the jubilation after the in-state battle between the Iowa State Cyclones and the Iowa Hawkeyes for the Cy-Hawk Trophy. At the end of the afternoon, the Cyclones emerged victorious after triple overtime for a final score of 44-41. The 56,085 fans who packed Jack Trice Stadium set the second-highest attendance record in stadium history. Many of those fans rushed the field at the conclusion to share in the Cyclone victory. The Iowa State Iowa Rivalry began on October 1, 1894, with Iowa State winning 16-8. Today it is still one of the most highly anticipated football games in the state of Iowa.

Tax abatements are one of the essential economic development tools government has to attract and retain business in our area. As with anything, there comes a time when the process needs to be reviewed and updated.
As president of the Fort Wayne Chamber of Commerce, I am encouraged by the collaboration between city and county officials in the acknowledgement of the need and the course they have taken to update their tax abatement policies. By aligning the city's and county's policies, it will make it easier for business to be aware of the requirements needed to obtain a tax abatement and more transparent for the community.
This was not a singular or hasty endeavor. The Joint City-County Tax Abatement Committee engaged community stakeholders in the review process including the Chamber and the Fort Wayne-Allen County Economic Development Alliance, our premier economic development organization. Stakeholders were asked to review the proposed changes and provide feedback.
The proposed changes provide for a new level of accountability by creating a new compliance process without being arduous for business or government staff and resources. It will allow the city and county councils to have a better idea of how many jobs and types of jobs have been created or retained.
The new policies put a greater emphasis on projects that create and retain good jobs with higher-than-average wages. This is important as our region's average wage is below the national level.
The proposed changes will continue to build and strengthen our community. I, on behalf of my members, encourage our local officials to approve these changes and allow business to continue to invest in our community.
Michael S. Landram, president/CEO Greater Fort Wayne Chamber of Commerce

KANE – With 36 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, Kane was down 13-6 and was facing fourth and long from about the 26-yard-line. With a chance to tie the game, quarterback Sean Jordan put nice pass into the endzone; however, Elk Catholic's Pat Brennen was the player on the receiving end of that pass, sealing the Crusader victor with the interception.
"Pat's doing a nice job. All of our secondary guys are doing a nice job this year. They're tackling well. They're bending a little bit but they're not breaking. They're not giving up the deep ball, so it was nice to see Pat come down with that one," said ECC coach Travis Skrzypek.
"Coming into this game we had to realize the AML South is pretty tight at the top. Both teams were coming out hard. I thought Kane played a great game tonight. They're well-coached, disciplined kids and they came at us hard. They kind of stopped the run and we found some success with the pass tonight," Skrzypek added.
Both of Elk Catholic's touchdowns came on pass plays by quarterback Mitchell Vallone, who was also celebrating his 17th birthday.
"Mitchell threw the ball well,"Skrzypek said. "[We had] big plays on offense tonight. We didn't really get a drive going until the end. We had to punch one in and they were able to stall us out."
ECC was led on the ground by Cole Gerber, who had 65 yards on 15 carries. Brock McCullough added 26 yards on 10 carries.
Vallone was 6-of-11 for 95 yards.
Devin Constable caught one touchdown pass for 26 yards and Joe McLaughlin reeled in a touchdown pass for 44 yards. Montana Schneider, who was also celebrating a birthday on Friday, caught one pass for 12 yards.
"Joe McLaughlin played an awesome game inside," Skrzypek said. "He really came to play. [He] hits hard and isn't out of position too much. He's doing a nice job at linebacker. Cole Gerber as well. Cole Gerber put some heat on their quarterback on their last drive there."
The Wolves were led on the ground by Johan Smith, who had 66 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries. Tyler Burdick added 60 yards on 11 carries.
Kane quarterback Sean Jordan was 13-of-21 for 113 yards.
Sean Rolick caught three passes for 35 yards while Smith had two catches for 33 yards.
For the Crusader defense, Brennen and Gerber both had interceptions.
Prior to the start of the game, a brief ceremony was held honoring SSgt Ken VanGiesen. VanGiesen was a Kane native who was killed in action earlier this year in Afghanistan while serving in the Army National Guard. A former player for the Kane Wolves, VanGiesen's number 63 was retired during the ceremony.
"That was pretty awesome for them to do that," Skrzypek said of the ceremony. "The guys really have to respect what our soldiers do for us, and [VanGiesen] made the ultimate sacrifice. [Serving in our military is] something awesome that people do for us and we have to thank them."
The Wolves won the coin toss and elected to defer until the second half.
After getting nowhere on their first drive, the Crusaders were forced to punt the ball away. The Wolves looked to have things going in their favor as they began their drive; however, Jordan's pass was picked off by ECC's Cole Gerber, handing the ball back to the Crusaders at Kane's 26-yard-line. Two plays later the Crusaders got on the board for the first time as Vallone connected with Devin Constable for a 26-yard-pass play. Scott Krellner added the PAT, giving ECC a 7-0 lead with 7:23 remaining in the first quarter.
Kane started their only scoring drive at the end of the first quarter and carried it over into the second, as they took 11 plays to drive about 80 yards for the score on a 14-yard run by Smith. The PAT failed, leaving the Crusaders with a 7-6 advantage with 10:12 remaining in the half.
After the two teams traded punts, the Crusaders started their next drive at their own 38-yard-line. McCullough picked up 18 yards on the ground before Vallone connected with McLaughlin for a 44-yard pass play for a touchdown. The PAT failed, making the score 13-6 with 3:49 remaining in the half.
While both teams gave it their best effort, neither would find the endzone for the remainder of the game.
Both teams would come close to scoring again though.
The Crusaders tried to get back into the endzone one more time before the end of the half after taking the ball over at Kane's 10-yard-line on a fumble recovery by McLaughlin. Vallone hit Schneider for a 12-yard gain on fourth down, but Kane's defense was able to stop him just shy of the goal line.
On their first drive of the third quarter, the Wolves made it all the way to ECC's 1-yard-line, but the Crusaders put up some excellent defense to keep them out of the endzone. That drive ended when McLaughlin sacked Jordan for a loss on fourth down.
"I can't say enough about the defense in the third quarter stop. I think they had eight plays down there and the guys held tight, kept with it and believed in one another and got the big stop there at the end of that quarter," Skrzypek said.
The Wolves tried again to score on their final drive, using 12 plays to go almost 60 yards before Brennen intercepted Jordan's fourth down pass in the endzone.
Vallone took a knee to end the game and give ECC the 13-6 victory.
With the win, Elk Catholic is now 5-1 on the season and 5-1 in the Allegheny Mountain League.
The Crusaders will return to action on Friday when they travel to Brockway for a 7:30 p.m. game.

The Best New Artists of the 2013 Grammy Awards: Where Are They Now?
The Best New Artists of the 2013 Grammy Awards: Where Are They Now?
The 2014 nominees for the category of Best New Artist at The GRAMMY Awards® are bold. James Blake, Kendrick Lamar, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Kacey Musgraves and Ed Sheeran represent the new face of music's potential. The category of Best New Artist is unique because it solidifies the idea we have history to look forward to. While every other award honors worthy contributions artists have already made to their craft, The Best New Artist nominees stand for the possibility of what's to come. Given that anticipation and hope are two of the strongest drivers of culture, Pepsi is proud to partner with The Recording Academy to present the category of Best New Artist.
To honor that potential, we look back on last year's nominees. Click through the thumbnails above to find out how far artists like Fun., Hunter Hayes, and The Lumineers have come.
NYC based band "fun." took home the award for Best New Artist at the 2013 Grammys in addition to being nominated for their 2012 album, Some Nights for Record Of The Year. The indie pop band, best known for "We Are Young", "Some Nights" and "Carry On" has been topping charts with their hit songs. "We Are Young" hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Digital Song, and UK charts.
Fun.'s Most Nights Tour began after their Grammy success in February of 2013 and carried through October, with 17 sold out shows. The band has spent the remainder of 2013 helping charities and those in need. Whether it's autographed merch for the Ruth Ellis Center or fun.-inspired T-shirts encouraging fans to adopt homeless dogs, this is one band really using their influence to better the community. Fun. member Jack Antonoff told Huffington Post there are "hints of a plan" to start working on their next album. After watching them come this far, we can't wait to see what they do next.
Alabama Shakes
Alabama Shakes is an American rock band formed in 2009 by lead singer and guitarist, Brittany Howard, guitarist Heath Fogg, bassist Zac Cockrell, keyboard player Ben Tanner and drummer Steve Johnson.

The album reached No. 8 on the Billboard 200 and No. 3 on the UK Albums Chart. Their song "Driva Man" was featured on the 12 Years a Slave soundtrack released in November. Alabama Shakes killed it at Glastonbury festival, following it up by headlining their home state's Tuscaloosa Get Up Festival. Watch Alabama Shakes Glastonbury performance of "Hold On," above.
Hunter Hayes
Hunter Hayes is already one of the biggest names in country at the ripe age of 22. After releasing his self-titled first studio album, and later Hunter Hayes (Encore) with additional bonus tracks, he's been nominated for over 13 awards. At the 2013 Grammys, Hayes was nominated for Best New Artist, Best Country Solo Performance for "Wanted" and Best Country Album for Hunter Hayes. His singles, "Wanted" and "Somebody's Heartbreak" hit No. 1 on US Country Chart, while his latest single "I Want Crazy" reached No. 2 on the US Country Charts.
Hayes has been named CMT Artist of the Year and was just crowned VH1's 2014 Save The Music Ambassador. Watch the crowd go wild when Swift surprises her audience by bringing the country heartthrob on stage for a duet of "I Want Crazy" above. You can also catch him this evening performing at the 2014 Grammy Awards for a second year in a row!

Graduate Student,
This conversation is closed.
The use of shock advertising by social marketers is an effective strategy to change behavior. Or has it contrary/counter effects?
For my graduation assignment I will research the topic of shock advertising in the Western European non profit sector. The use of shock advertising in social marketing raises besides ethical questions another: Have shocking and fear appealing advertising strategies in the non-profit sector the intended effects?
In this paper I want to research the effectiveness of shock and fear appealing advertisements used in the Western European non-profit sector. Another point I want to research is what methods and strategies can lead to optimum results and can improve the likelihood of changing behaviors without leading to anxiety or resistance. Furthermore, examining the effectiveness of the methods, one which focus on the physical elements of fear and one that focus on the social elements of fear in the advertisements.
With creating a debate about this specific subject I want to reach a number of objectives besides input for my research:
1. Receive notice of the different approaches
2. Seeking for truth with the exchange of information
3. Finding the relevance of the topic
4. Creating a meaningful opinion and create recommendations
Please leave your comments, suggestions and ideas about this topic and lets enjoy this debate.
John Gianino
Mar 11 2013: 1. Could you clarify exactly what you mean by "which approaches"?
- +1
2. Are you looking for facts and sincere participation?
3. What can we do to remain rel event and cogent to your topic?
4. Can you elaborate meaningful in context and can we recommend things by asking a question?
Your conversation topic is very cool ;-)
Mar 11 2013: Thank you for your comment!
At the moment I am working on the research questions. For the moment I have phrased two questions:
Advisory Question
What type of fear appeals in advertising is effective to reach the intended results on young adults?
Research Question
What type of fear appeals in advertising, emotional or physical, generates an amount of fear which can change attitude and behavior?
Still subject to change though
With this debate I try to find meaningful reactions and opinions on this topic. Such as the ethicality of fear appeals, experiences and ideas to research. Preferably with theoretical argumentation.
Mar 11 2013: Is there a way to be more cogent to the questions?

Why do you prefer your favourite meal? Because you are shocked and feared when you eat it? Why do you change your favourite meal, because another meal shocks and frightens you more, or because you enjoy it more, because it tastes much better than anything you had before?
In my city we had these clowns from attac, who wanted to start a protest against the large bank institutions-what is a so far right and a good thing. But, they gave a poor image. The opened their "base" in front of a very luxury bank house, but their base looked like a meeting point for homeless people.
So, we all just got one life. And which party do you want to join, when you have the choice? The bank party, with their beautyful buildings, or the bunch of weirdos with their dirty tents? And if you have no money, you still like to watch the bank building way more than the tents of the attac guys.
If you want a better world, then make it a better world. You do not fight poverty when offering poverty for everyone. You do not fight overweight by gloryfying starving and/or tasteless organic menues. And so on...
Do you still fear there is a monster under your bed? No, because you get used to fear. But maybe you still look out for a prince riding on a horse who marries you (kind of)? If you have not found him yet you will do, because nobody gets used to good emotions, or the expectation of good. This always works and let us change things. Fear just hides us from changes, as we all slept worse until the day came we did not fear a monster is under our bed anymore.Feb 17 2013: I don't think shock advertising has any lasting effect on behaviour change. It may work at first, but then bad habits start to kick in again, once the initial shock has worn off and has been forgotten.
Is aversion better than persuasion in advertising? I don't think it is.
Take smoking as an example:
If I was a smoker, the sight of a pair of lungs gunked up with tar in an advertising campaign would fill me with revulsion - but only temporarily, even if that image was printed on every cigarette packet I buy thereafter. That initial shock would make me give up smoking for a few days at best. Any further advertising in a similar vein would then only be ignored.
What would have a lasting effect and make me give up smoking for good? My opinion is that if advertising is to work, it would need to persuade my heart, rather than my head, to give it up. Because of that, I don't see how it could be done, short of tailoring the campaign to a small sector of like minded individuals and peer groups.
What I'm really saying is that advertising as a strategy to change behaviour may only be superficially effective in persuading the masses that there may be something a little unhealthy about smoking - it's the nanny state nagging at us yet again.
The real persuader is the heartfelt decision taken autonomously by the smoker him/herself that actually, it's a potential killer. No amount of advertising, no matter how shocking, can hasten that very personal decision.

Feb 20 2013: Commercial advertising obviously exists to persuade us to part company with hard-earned income to buy products and services. At least there is a certain honesty in that, but is the raison d'etre of public service advertising entirely honest? Do government departments and non-profit organisations really have our best interests, health and safety at heart? Why spend so much money on shocking us into doing things - or to stop doing things?
It seems that commercial advertising exists to persuade, while the majority of public service advertising seems to want to dissuade, as you correctly point out, often by the use of shock. Why use dissuasive messages to produce model citizens, rather than persuasive ones?
I think psychologically we are hard-wired to react to shock momentarily - but decisively - in order to push us out of harm's way. That state doesn't last long and soon decays into apathy if that stimulus keeps on and on repeating itself ad nauseam, the more we realise that the shock is actually doing us no harm. If that thought is applied to advertising, then its effect in dissuasion will also be temporary and apathetic.
All the campaigns you mention in your list, seems to me to fall into the 'dissuasive' category.
For such advertising to have any chance of working, I think the initial shock needs to be followed up quickly by a persuasive, positive campaign in order to 'pull' us into something desirable and enduring.
In summary, I'd rather be pulled than pushed!Mar 11 2013: Well what is more effective? Physical fear appeals or emotional fear appeals?
Mar 11 2013: It depends i think the two physical and emotional impacts the`personsFeb 15 2013: Claudia, First, I cannot believe that this ad cost the British Health 2.7 million pounds. It targets smoking but no specific demographic. The words below states that many do not believe that smoking is bad for you and continue smoking. How much is the Health Org advertising budget ... what percent of budget.
Step by step:
1) What is the purpose of ads for the British Health? All public health agencies are based on wellness.
I just read a article that said the #1 cost in EU medicine is mental health. So why elect an ad on smoking with no demographics.
2) What is being done with schools and kids ... that will greatly influence the wellness concept. The older people are the less they are apt to change.
3) What are the stats ... college VS high school VS non grads ... loook at the ads FOR cigrettees and see what the target population is. That is the demographic the health org should be looking at.
4) Impact: What were total sales prior to the ad ... what are current sales.
5) Break down each of the major expenses of the Health org costs ... related to smoking .. mental health ,,, cancer .. drinking related ... etc ... How many ads for each? Effectivness? Number of shock - non-shock?
6) You get the idea ......
Perhaps your paper is to broad .. maybe not.
How about if you narrowed it down to a area where the Health Org supplied you with data that you could quantify to validate your findings. What are other countries doing? Effectivness? Do they use shock?
So the new paper may deal with the effrectivness of ads in the non-profit sector and their impact. In this light you could use shock as one media .. pamphlets .. newspaper ... TV ... focusing on different demographics.
I wish you well. Please share your decisions .. grade ... and teachers comments with TED friends. Bob.
Mar 11 2013: Well I have made my mind up about the examples which I will use. Examples of fear appealing advertisements which I use in this paper are two types of fear appeals. One type is emotional fear appeals and the other type is physical fear appeals. The examples are from previous campaigns commissioned by different health departments from the United Kingdom, USA and Australia. The issues covered are, binge drinking, STI testing, drug abuse and anti-smoking.

Feb 15 2013: In my opinion, anxiety is the ONLY reaction 'social marketers' (whoever those are) are aiming at.
- +1
In modern 24/7/365 media terror societies, in which we became unable of NOT being subjected to any form of advertising, commercials, brand-names, logos, jingles and beauty models by our sensory organs, how do those 'social marketers' get to 'ring' another bell of ours? And here even a bell of 'our' personal 'importance' in their and their advertising customers eyes?
How do they penetrate our 'horny media skin' by their, but yet another message? How do they catch our eyes which have seen all of the bright side of sweet promises - every day since birth? Glamor, Beauty, Youth, Happiness, Friends, etc.?
Anxiety is a powerful emotion and compared to knowledge, way more likely to induce a behavioral change within us.
For instance, in 2013, in the western world, there is no active smoker anymore who doesn't know about the risks he/she is taking. So, if not anxiety, what do you think the UK health department is trying to generate in your given example? Just a 'visualization' of this knowledge for a 'better' understanding?
Humans are world-champions in suppressing better knowledge. This is part of our nature, part of our optimism and a necessity for our lives not to 'freeze in anxiety' facing all the risks surrounding us every day.
To place a 'message' behind those lines of personal defense, one got to be drastic, shocking, unexpected for it to sink in, again and it is necessary to bypass the filter of our 'ratio' and to sting right into our instincts, of which fear is one of the strongest, if not THE strongest.
Shock advertising has to get very personal and this is why it is even more suspicious to me than the 'regular' ones. WHO is going to place ITS message within ME and WHY? Is the UK health department only interested in the 'health' of smoking people, or is it a 'cost saving program' to health-care? What about car driving then? Shouldn't we get to SEE it too?

Feb 15 2013: 0.0 This looks like to me aversion therapy used in a business context and its one of the approach adopted to deal with addiction issues.I think effects varies as people are quite different in response to these ads.And usually there's a huge gap from being aware to behavior changes because of complexity. But i am sure there are people who benefits from it.and just curious about how you define effctiveness in this case and how you measure it.Mar 11 2013: Claudia, I know a lot of thought went into what you could best support. I am glad it worked out for you.

It would be interesting to hear what you have learned from this study and what the results of your published studies are.
Just a suggestion .... write down your personal thoughts prior to conducting research and publishing. When all is done go back and see what differences this has make from your original thoughts.
Let us know how you do. All the best. Bob.Mar 11 2013: Well Ideas is my strong point , I think like you but strong narrow guided to be more emotional it s what rules the world n final pointMar 11 2013: Well Ideas is my strong point , I think like you but strong narrow guided to be more emotional it s what rules the world n final pointMar 11 2013: NOT ONLY IN United Kingdom, USA and Australia HERE IN PERU
Mar 11 2013: Yes, I know. But I have to narrow it down.Mar 4 2013: Sadly there are more dumb people every day so, it is effective...
Mar 11 2013: Thank you for your comment but this is not grounded. Is there any proof that a certain type of people are more manipulative?
Mar 12 2013: Just think USA banks giving mortgages to people who didn't knew what they were getting into...Feb 25 2013: Road safety?
Shoot a tv commercial where two guys are walking across a pedestrian crossing then jump shot to where a car filled with pimple-less attractive skinny, hipped out kids carousing and taking vids and shooting pixs of each other as well as singing until the driver and passenger decide to take a pix of themselves and then they run over the two guys. The car screams to a tree and folds up. Now shoot the commercial all on smartphones from many different angles make sure the car is a modern vehicle to show what a high speed impact looks like. Cgi a figure smashing through the windscreen.
Mar 11 2013: This actually happen in some road safety advertisments, but do you think it is effective?
Mar 11 2013: Yes and after a while the shock wears off but the add is not about phones but aimed at how modern cars generally don't let you walk away from a crash. What advertisers should show is the blanket that covers a car when there has been a fatality, the blanket is the shocker.Feb 17 2013: Other examples: http://www.theleader.com.au/story/403809/a-campaign-of-shock-fear-and-laughter-the-best-road-safety-ads/Feb 16 2013: First, thank you all for your comments. I will certainly use it for my graduation assignment.
I am still in the orientation phase of the research and try to find the right angel.To clarify the problem a correct determination of the terminology is needed. (Barnes, J.H. Jr and Dotson, M.J., 1990) discussed offensive advertising and identified two different dimensions: offensive execution and offensive products. In the execution you can relate to more specific issues like delicacy, decency, fear, morality, racism and sexism. In this research the focus is on the issue of fear. Because previous research has suggested that strong fear appeal has a strong relation with persuasiveness and behavioral change.
The theoretical framework I want to use is: Protection motivation theory (PMT) together with Fear Appeal theory. With the Protection Motivation Theory (Rogers, Cognitive and physiological processes in fear appeals and attitude change: A revised theory of protection motivation, 1983) I want to investigate how social marketers working for non-profit organizations can use fear appeal in their advertising strategies effectively in Western Europe campaigns. Based on this theoretical framework I will do the research, the research will be a small scale sample survey conducted by a juvenile test group. They will be exposed to fear appealing advertisements. I want to investigate if there are differences in physical fear appeal and social fear appeal in social marketing advertisements. Also we want to research the likelihood of behavioral change after being exposed to fear appealing advertising and the likelihood of attitudinal change after being exposed to fear appealing advertising. With the results a recommendation for social marketers in the Western European non-profit sector can be made.Feb 15 2013: Will it not do so?
Feb 15 2013: For example the recently launched health campaign of the UK health department: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-20805059

Feb 22 2013: Hi Claudia,

How are you?
Have you considered a specific target audience ? Gender,background, education and various other facets of life experiences contribute to how certain groups/indivduals might respond to your research and implementation. For example, males may respond to visual stimuli, where females might respond more to an actual application of such behaviorial change/consequence in their daily lives. Also, delineating a specific audience would yield a more real world potential change. Bon chance !

DeeJay, how are things going with you?
So the reason I haven't been online as much is partially because I've still been needing to sleep 10-14 hours a day. The other reason is that lately I've been spending a lot of my online time with a certain special someone... who happens to be a guy named Andy. Jay knows him, actually. I know Jay and I have mentioned the online Bible study we're in with a group of young adults with chronic illnesses. Andy has been coming to it since February and in June my parents and I had dinner with him in Maryland when we were back there to see the specialist.
So we've been friends for quite a while and a couple months ago started getting closer and spending a lot of time talking... and then about a month ago he asked me out. It's a complicated relationship with it being long distance and both of us sick, but he's an awesome guy with a heart for God and a ton of fun. After 30 years of no serious relationships, it still feels really weird to think that I have a boyfriend, but is awfully special and fun. We have video dates... We've done a dinner date and dressed up and pretended we were in a restaurant, and tonight we watched a movie together. Pup, it was Firefly! Yes, I'm dating a nerd and if I wasn't fully one before I think I'm converted.
Would love prayer for our relationship that we can seek God first and that He'll give us wisdom.

NEW YORK, May 29, 2007 – The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation is proud to announce that recording artist Elliott Yamin will serve as a celebrity advocate for its signature event, "Children's Congress," and their "Promise to Remember Me" campaign.
He will also participate in other nationwide and global advocacy programs with JDRF's chapters throughout the U.S. and international affiliates abroad to create diabetes awareness and support the organization's mission to move diabetes research towards a cure. Yamin, a 2006 American Idol finalist, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was 16 years old.
At Children's Congress, Yamin's first official advocacy work with JDRF, he will join 150 child and teenage delegates from all over the U.S. – all diagnosed with type 1 diabetes – in a song performance on the Capitol Lawn on June 18. The "Promise to Remember Me" song and the year-long "Promise to Remember Me" campaign which follows shortly after Children's Congress, is a plea for Congressional Members to provide increased National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding for diabetes research.
"I am honored to have been asked to partner with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and add my firsthand knowledge of type 1 diabetes and opportunities for visibility to their efforts to raise greater awareness of the seriousness of this disease," said Yamin, who will be taking a break from his heavy touring schedule promoting his self-titled debut album to attend Children's Congress. "I wholeheartedly support the mission of the Foundation to fund research to accelerate progress towards a cure and hope to serve as a positive role model to all children and adults living with this disease."
JDRF's Children's Congress, one of the most powerful advocacy events on Capitol Hill, has been held every other year since 1999 and become the largest media and grassroots advocacy events held in support of finding a cure for type 1 diabetes. Each child delegate with type 1 diabetes will talk about the personal impact the disease has made on their bodies and their lives. This event is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for the selected delegates, who will visit with legislators and administration officials to raise awareness about type 1 diabetes, and participate in personal advocacy at the highest levels of the U.S. government.
"We are thrilled that Elliott Yamin has signed on to work with JDRF as an advocate and share his personal story of living with type 1 diabetes to the millions affected by this disease," said JDRF President and CEO Arnold Donald. "He captured the hearts of millions of Americans with his vocal talent when he was on American Idol, and we are confident that his rising success as a recording artist in addition to his advocacy work for diabetes research on behalf of JDRF will help us accomplish our goal to find a cure for diabetes."
Recently, Yamin's debut album was released on Hickory Records on March 22, and made Soundscan history when it debuted at #3 on the Billboard Top 200 Charts. It made him the highest new artist debut in an independent record label. The album also reached #1 on Billboards' Independent Charts, selling 96,000 in its first week. Yamin began his first solo tour on May 17th, and will perform throughout the U.S. this summer.
In type 1 diabetes – the most serious and complicated form of the disease that accounts for at least $132 billion in annual health care costs in the U.S. alone – a person's pancreas stops producing insulin, the hormone that enables people to get energy from food. To survive, people with type 1 diabetes must test their blood sugar levels up to four or more times a day by pricking their fingers to draw blood, and then administering insulin through multiple, daily injections, or the use of a continuous infusion insulin pump.
About JDRF: JDRF was founded in 1970 by the parents of children with type 1 diabetes – a disease that strikes children, adolescents, and adults suddenly, makes them insulin dependent for life, and carries the constant threat of devastating complications. Since inception, JDRF has provided more than $1 billion to diabetes research worldwide. More than 85 percent of JDRF's expenditures directly support research and research-related education. JDRF's mission is constant: to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. For more information please visit www.jdrf.org.

Comments On Jun 21, 2015:This is a go to tire for me. It wears quickly, but that's expected due to soft terrain tire. I'd rather buy a tire like this that has tons of traction, than something harder that might last an additional 6 rides.

Comments On May 06, 2015:Have about 100-125miles on this front tire so far. Great for cornering and really sticks to the terrain.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Apr 29, 2015:I have ridden on so many tires and I am blown away by this one. YZ250's already have a hard time cornering and this tire makes a big difference. Great hookup in many different surfaces. Consistent grip is worth its price.

Comments On Mar 25, 2015:I really like this tire. It has solid all round grip even though it is classified as a "soft" tire. The only issue I've had is that it doesn't grip rocks and slick rock the best at full lean (but it is a soft tire - so this isn't a huge surprise), but that could be somewhat attributed to a tire pressure issue too (I just switched to Tubliss). So far wear is decent for a soft tire - this tire came stock on my bike and I liked it so much I replaced it with the same thing.

Comments On Mar 21, 2015:So far, I keep going back to the M59. It provides more confidence up front than any other tire I have tried. Just love the feel of this tire. It is large for an 80/100 x 21 tire which I personally like.

Comments On Jan 09, 2015:The M59 front was suggested by a local rider for riding all the rocks, roots and nasty climbs in the Northeast, he nailed it! This tire grips great and never disappoints. I run the M59 at 10-12psi with a tubliss kit, and love it.

Comments On Dec 18, 2014:Great tire for my 2013 450 XC-W. I'm an A level rider and this tire takes abuse. Good all over WA and OR from hard to soft conditions. Will eventually chunk on the sides but takes awhile for that. Best front so far! Better than the 403 in the soft stuff.

Comments On Sep 22, 2014:I race hare scrambles in North and South Carolina, so its mostly soft, roots, rocks, and some occasional hard pack, over the years I have tried a lot of front tires, and this one is predictable, I don't think about where the release point is on it like I have done with other tires. I run this with my tubliss system without any issues. I seems to just hook up, not push, and wears well.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Sep 08, 2014:This tire holds up under New England Rock and Rooted trails. I'm not good at avoiding nasty rocks or roots. My 2008 WR450 just drags me up and over anything I point it at putting extra pressure on these tires and tubes.
I haven't had a pinch flat yet - and that says a lot !!
These tires hold up well -the only down side - they like to climb ruts.

Step 1: What you'll need
-about 100 feet of rope
-a trampoline (optional)
-a harness of some sort (we have a deer stand harness we used)
-weights (like weightlifting weights)
-chain, or a little extra rope
-two pulleys
We had this rigged up in the barn before, both are fun, the barn you get more vertical action and less floaty feeling, over the trampoline it's more of a floaty feel. Both are plenty of fun you'l just have to see what works best for you.
this is awesome!!!!
ventifact - I share your concern, but it can be solved with a simple modification of the system - positioning the pulleys directly above the jumper would be safer so that at worst, you simply fall back down to the trampoline.
machoturtle - great idea and execution on this project. I used to love to Jolly Jumper as a kid, I will now make this as an adult. If only I was small enough to still do this in a doorway.
...use helmets.
...think of a better, possibly commercial harness. The kid in the picture probably has nothing to worry about at his age, but later that same harness may give a nasty pinch in a place that you do not want pinched.
...consider strengthening the bucket bail or adding a safety rope just in case it seperates.
keep up the good work!!
The simple version we did as kids is like a see-saw. One pulley, two kids of roughly the same size, each holds an end. Jump to catch the rope and send the other kid up. Watch your fingers near the pulley!

As the president of the club, I would like to welcome you to our brand new website and encourage you to try out some of the user friendly features we have. Thanks to Kerrie Jewell-Harrison for producing and maintaining the site
Kamloops Players Society started up in the 1960s.
We are the original theatre group in Kamloops and have performed countless plays over the years for the enjoyment of our community and to share the love of live theatre with all of you. Hard working people over the years have attributed to the success of our club and our great Board Executive, Directors, members and community alliances all contribute in valued ways to the ongoing success of the Kamloops Players Society. Whether it be a dream to be on stage, or an interest in getting involved with something outside of work, we have it here for you.
One of the neat things about our growing family is learning where people came from and why they got involved in the first place. Its great to work with people on different projects and support each other in different roles. If it isn't on stage then its behind the scenes or in the front of the house. For some it is frequent and for others its periodically. Great memories are made, strong friendships are formed and love of theatre is shared amongst people who may not have ever crossed paths in our day to day lives.
It has been a true pleasure to have met all of you, worked along side of so many and hold this elected position of President since 2012. If I were standing up and welcoming you all, I would sidebar to something else to lighten the mood! Thankfully, I am typing this so no one needs to hear me cherry pick as I tell a story or point out where the facilities are located in the building!
Please let us know if you have interest in getting involved, and spread the word and help keep local live theatre alive and thriving in your own city! We always welcome new members and we have lots of ways for you to participate. Interest, energy, skill or effort... we accept it all.
With thanks and for the love of theatre...
That's a wrap.

Softball drops two close games at Winthrop in extra innings
Thursday, March 27, 2003ROCK HILL, S.C. (Mar. 27, 2003) - Winthrop needed extra innings in both games to put away East Tennessee State in a softball double-header Thursday at Terry Field. ���� Janiva Willis drove in Katie Kipisz in the bottom of the 10th inning to win the first game 4-3, while Danna Haydar scored the winning run off a wild pitch to give Winthrop a 6-5 win in game two. In the first game, Katie Agee and Kelli Johnson each had an RBI to give Winthrop a 2-0 lead by the bottom of the second. ETSU's Miranda Byerly (Candler, N.C.) hit a two-run homer in the top of the fifth to tie the score. Mary Beth Hazelwood (Knoxville, Tenn.) drove in Sheryl Clark (Bradenton, Fla.) to give ETSU a 3-2 lead in the seventh inning, but the Lady Eagles tied the score when Stephanie Turney hit a double to drive in Carol Douglas. Johnson struck out 10 ETSU batters and only walked one. The second game started off similarly, as Winthrop had a 2-0 lead in the second inning, only to have ETSU tie the score in the top of the fifth. However, the Lady Eagles responded by scoring one run in fifth and two runs in the sixth, giving them a 5-2 lead going into the final inning. Shahna Ashard, who had previously only given up two runs off three hits, gave up three runs off five hits in the seventh inning alone. Johnson came in relief and held it together, keeping the score tied at five. After a wild pitch by Johnson in the top of the eight, ETSU had a runner on third with no outs. Johnson proceeded to strike out the next two batters, and got Byerly to ground out to end the inning. The Buccaneers fall to 13-12 for season, and will be back home to take on UNC Greensboro for a three-game weekend series beginning Mar. 29. The two teams will play a doubleheader on Saturday with the first game starting at 1 p.m.

I think you can get Bailey along with King, but I think King will end up a better pro
I think you can get Bailey along with King, but I think King will end up a better pro
I really like Tavarres King, I have him going in the 3rd round.
4.2-4.7 40 yd dash. Lol, thats every receiver in the league!
---------- Post added at 07:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 PM ----------
Not to mention Ryan Tannehill and Lamar Miller picks want to talk to you about "safe"
With regards to RT, I would venture to say that the Dolphins would not have drafted him if he had been the same size as Russel Wilson.
Living in Athens GA and meeting some of his family, I followed King closely up until this year when I moved away. Unless he really changed this year, I don't see him having the strength to be an NFL WR. He also does not go after the ball. I think he will get eaten alive by NFL DB's. He has some speed but that is about it. I would look elsewhere.
I got it.
1. Melvin Gordon RB
2. Bernardrick McKinney ILB
3. Steve Nelson CB
4. John Miller G
5. Adrian Amos FS
5. Kenny Bell WR
Is there a WR that runs outside of 4.2 - 4.7 40????

Dear friends,
I'm interested in the biomechanics (I think that's the right term here) of meditation postures, specifically the various cross-legged postures. I currently don't have any serious knee or hip issues but I've heard stories of people damaging their knees in meditation. I don't wish to experience this. I sit cross-legged and stretch every day: eventually I would like to be able to sit half or full lotus and I want to do this safely and armed with knowledge. Does anyone know, have recommendations, or can point to where are the following:
*Studies on the meditation postures, specifically the cross-legged posture: peferably peer-reviewed, in meditation or otherwise: long-term effects of the various cross-legged postures on knee health, ankle health, hip health, pain, mobility, etc.
*Web sites or books on the subject: all I've seen so far are very general recommendations, nothing explaining the actual mechanics of sitting.
*Teachers on the subject: I'm guessing a few yoga teachers are versed on the complex anatomy and physiology of this subject but I'm sure not all are. What other professials would be experts in this subject?
By the way, I live in the San Francisco Bay Area so if anyone has a reference to a truly outstanding knower of the human body in California, especially in relation to this subject, I would love to know! That is my real goal in this regard: to find a master of the human body who can expertly diagnose you then tell you exactly what you need to do to relieve pain, achieve a certain posture, etc. based on your own personal situation. I think I met a person like this a long time ago but sadly I do not have their contact information.

Goals: This mission concept calls for robotic technology to gather samples from the Moon's South Pole-Aitken Basin and return them to Earth for study. The Aitken Basin, a massive impact crater on the Moon's far side, may provide access to samples of the lunar mantle, which could give scientists insight into the period of heavy bombardment early in our solar system's history.
Accomplishments: This mission is a concept proposed to accomplish one of several high-priority science investigations recommended by the National Research Council. NASA will choose one concept to be developed as a New Frontiers program mission.

Sunday, March 02, 2003JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (March 2, 2003) - One day after earning its third-straight Southern Conference North Division championship and a bye in this week's SoCon Tournament, the good news kept coming for the East Tennessee State men's basketball program on Sunday. The Southern Conference announced that true freshman guard Tim Smith (Newport News, Va.) was selected by the conference's sports information directors as the SoCon freshman of the year, while junior forward Zakee Wadood (Lonoke, Va.) made his second-straight appearance on the 10-player All-SoCon Team as selected by the league's coaches. "This is quite an accomplishment for two fine players in our program," said ETSU head coach Ed DeChellis. "Tim has played extremely well for us despite being a freshman, and for the past two years Zakee has been a key to our team's success. I'm very proud of both of them." The 5-foot-9 Smith - who becomes only the third player in ETSU history to win this honor - is the league's leading freshman scorer, picking up an average of 14.4 points a contest. He currently ranks third in scoring for the Bucs, and is 18th in the nation with 2.5 steals per contest. The last Buccaneer to be named freshman of the year was ETSU great Greg Dennis in 1987-88. Meanwhile, Wadood is currently second on the team with 14.5 points per game and leads the Bucs with 7.6 rebounds a contest. The 6-foot-5 forward is also third in the nation with 3.2 steals a game and leads the Bucs with 2.2 blocks per contest. ETSU returns to play Thursday in the quarterfinals of the Southern Conference Tournament at the North Charleston Coliseum in Charleston, S.C. At approximately 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, the Bucs will face the winner of the Wofford-UNC Greensboro game scheduled for Wednesday. 2003 Southern Conference Coaches All-Conference Team Graham Bunn, Appalachian State Shawn Hall, Appalachian State Ashley Champion, Chattanooga Troy Wheless, College of Charleston Wayne Bernard, Davidson Zakee Wadood, East Tennessee State Karim Souchu, Furman Julius Jenkins, Georgia Southern Kevin Martin, Western Carolina Mike Lenzly, Wofford 2003 Southern Conference SIDs All-Freshman Team Tim Smith, East Tennessee State Alphonso Pugh, Chattanooga Brendan Winters, Davidson Ian Johnson, Davidson Tyler Berg, Wofford

Seco Tools needed new business software that would product accurate demand forecasts and help the company grow in an international environment
Seco Tools' business concept is to develop, manufacture and market globally chip-forming machinery to customers who demand exacting levels of quality, service, and cost-efficiency. The product program comprises milling, turning, drilling and holding systems.
Based in Sweden, Seco Tools runs 36 operations on a worldwide basis including Europe, Asia Pacfic, the Americas and the Indian subcontinent. Each year the company delivers millions of tools to the machining industries around the world.
Seco's customers are the world's manufacturing industry. There is no metal-based manufacturing company that does not use a tool at some stage of its process. Seco works to extremely tight tolerances – down to a thousandth part of a millimetre. Customers have learned to expect deliveries within 24 hours of placing an order. As a natural consequence of this, Seco requires accurate demand forecasts for pricing and purchasing and sales tools that help attract and retain customers.
As a global organisation, Seco's IT solution must provide multi-company, multi-currency and multi-language capabilities. In addition, Seco requires software that is totally integrated, providing the ability to cover all business processes from manufacturing through to business intelligence and financials.
Seco has been a long-standing customer of IBS and has implemented its integrated supply chain software suite in 22 countries. The company has remained loyal to IBS for a number of reasons. First, the IBS solution has been developed for industrial supplies organisations like Seco; second is IBS' software, which addresses Seco's worldwide requirements; and the third factor is IBS' ease of implementation and smooth upgrade capabilities.
Seco recognises that IBS offers a world of experience and expertise as an international software provider of business solutions. Global business solutions be capable of meeting the standards of new international trade. IBS has successfully delivered complete information systems for worldwide operations, as well as local businesses, proving that IBS products are suited to global organisations like Seco.
Approximately 30 percent of all tools are sold to customers via the Internet using Seco's online store. All details are integrated into IBS software, providing a smooth and seamless order process.
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) has allowed Seco to speed up the process between the subsidiaries and parent company with central warehouses.
Seco also uses IBS software to enter orders, fulfil and ship orders, operate warehouses, receive purchase orders and perform associated accounting processes. The company maintains customers' records, ordering and product information including pricing to support its operations' activities within the system.
The IBS solution lets Seco use one single point of contact for overseeing its entire customer relationship management. By having a total view of its customers, Seco can anticipate and meet their unique requirements and earn their loyalty in a consistent, profitable manner.
Seco is extremely pleased with its decision to stay with IBS software. The Singapore and Malaysia operations were the first to go live with the latest release. Other locations will be implemented in a step-wise manner until all countries are live. To make each upgrade smoother, Seco has taken a leading role in the implementation. Each installation will be implemented quickly and efficiently, while ensuring that the system complies with all business practices and laws, along with multi-currency and multi-lingual requirements. A small team of IBS-trained specialist consultants will configure the system, map the business processes and then train Seco users.
The implementation at Seco is based upon IBS' standard project methodology known as Implementation Control Process (ICP). ICP enables both customers and IBS to implement a thoroughly tested business system on time and within budget. The ICP model is continuously developed and refined. Project milestones are regularly reviewed, whereby know-how and experience are proliferated throughout the company.
The product and customer profitability reports available with IBS software have had a positive impact on Seco's sales revenue, allowing the company to target improvements in its more deficient areas.
IBS software has helped Seco increase its reputation for getting orders out of the door more efficiently. Customer service is improving all the time: clients know that if they order today, goods will be delivered by tomorrow at the latest.
The IBS Financials solution meets all the reporting objectives that Seco management requires to run a global organisation with multi-currency, multi-lingual and seamless cross-border financial management.
The integrated nature of IBS' software product is the ideal business solution for Seco, providing the company with a competitive edge by making its operations better, faster and more profitable.
After implementing the latest release of IBS software, Seco will have even more control of its inventory, will be more productive and will quickly realise the numerous benefits available from this upgrade.
Like Seco's own products, IBS software is developed using quality tools, is precise in its operation and utilises the best productivity staff. The solution ensures continuing good customer service while delivering a secure, reliable and robust system.

Welcome to our first weekly challenge for the 2013 Clutter-Free Classroom Project. If you are just joining us, you may want to read my introductory post explaining the Clutter-Free Classroom Project. Remember, you can jump in at anytime.
The next two weeks are all about getting started, getting motivated and making a plan.
Did I mention that one lucky friend will receive a prize for participating? More about that on Friday. :)
- Create a folder on your computer titled, "Before Pictures" and put all of the pictures into the folder. This will make them easier to find as you continue with the PROJECT.
- Stand on each side of your room and take a full view picture of the opposite wall. Continue around your room snapping pictures of each wall.
- Next pick a corner to start in and take close up pictures of each and every area in your classroom: every shelf, closet, drawer, etc. I truly believe that there is no task too small or project to simple when it comes to improving your organization. You'll be giddy when you compare the finished product to the before shot.
- Take your pictures in natural light and from interesting angles. Get some close-ups. If you're going to be blogging about them. you'll be happy to have some cool pictures to go with your post.
