From: The Internet Marketing Center Team
Wednesday, 9:48 a.m.
Dear Friend,
Did you know that the vast majority of online and offline businesses settle for a mere fraction of the profits they COULD be making?! It's true!
They settle for 50% to 100% LESS PROFITS than they deserve, because they have no idea...
destroying their reputations and crippling their incomes!
... I know, because every day I open our inbox and read emails from businesses of all sizes -- from
"mom and pop" operations to Fortune 500 companies -- who are making the very mistakes I learned to avoid YEARS ago.
And I know this will sound cocky, but I'd bet our last dollar that YOU are making these same mistakes too... without even knowing it!
Are YOU faced with these challenges...?
The "silent" income-killers that may
ALREADY be eating away at your profits...
Honestly, we're just skimming the surface of problems you could be experiencing.
... I haven't even BEGUN to mention the "silent" income-killers that even the most experienced marketers have no idea they're plagued by:
Silent Income-Killer #1:
Yet I happen to know for a FACT that BOTH groups are wrong!
Silent Income-Killer #2:
Have you (logically) assumed that spam filters look at the CONTENT of your emails to make decisions about whether they will be delivered to your subscribers...
... Anywhere from 40% to 80% of your email may ALREADY be getting filtered as "junk mail" and "spam"... so your subscribers never even see it!
... And these are just TWO examples; I could easily give you 100 more just like them!
If email is the #1 online activity...
... And if 82% of Internet consumers
have made a purchase from an email,
...WHY do some people complain
that email marketing is "dead"?
You've probably heard people gripe and complain... "Email is dead"... "The spammers wrecked email for everyone"... "Email isn't profitable anymore."
I've heard these complaints, too... And they make me laugh.
If email marketing doesn't work, then how in the world did I make $3.5 million last year from email marketing alone?* (If you're not familiar with me, and this sounds outrageous, click here now to read our credentials...)
And why can I also quote endless SUCCESS STORIES of "regular" people making anywhere from $100,000 to $2 Million per year, using email marketing as a key component of their marketing strategy?* (Click here now to see seven examples...)
That's why we're ready to share
our $3.5 Million secret
Obviously, email marketing isn't as EASY today as it was four or five years ago.
In the "good old days" you could just slap together a quick letter, mail it, and collect your profits.
But spam wasn't such a BIG problem back then.
Do these new challenges mean that email marketing is no longer profitable... or even worthwhile? Of course not...
Even industry experts agree... Email marketing CAN be extremely profitable, *IF* you know what you're doing:
|Email is the #1 online activity for Americans! (Pew Internet Survey)
|Out of 1,000,000,000 (1 Billion) Internet users worldwide, 90% use email! (PostFuture)
|82% of online consumers have made at least one purchase as a result of an email! (PostFuture)
|People now use email to communicate MORE than the telephone! (Marketing Sherpa)
|90% of consumers use email multiple times per day! (DoubleClick)
|30.1% of people use email for gift ideas! (ReturnPath Survey)
|40.9% of people comparison shop with email! (ReturnPath Survey)
|59% of people have redeemed an email coupon at online OR offline store! (PostFuture)
... And these are just a FEW of the reports I found!
The Internet is no longer a "novelty"... and neither is email. It's growing up... And your marketing strategies need to grow with it!
The facts are...
- If you're NOT properly educated about how to collect, manage, and store email addresses...
- If you don't know how to avoid being accused of spamming and how to deal with the anti-spam organizations should you be accidentally "blacklisted" as a result of a few forgetful
- If you don't know how to format your email so that it will be displayed professionally in the majority of email programs...
... email marketing can be very frustrating, and it can produce very disappointing results.
On the other hand...
If you ARE educated and you DO know what works,
what doesn't, and how to AVOID the dangers and pitfalls:
You can dramatically increase the income
of your online or offline business!
You can use email promotions to:
- Sell 20% of your customers a SECOND product...
- Establish yourself as a "credible" business owner...
- Develop close, personal relationships with subscribers...
- Convert "tire-kickers" into eager buyers through follow-ups...
- Generate qualified referrals and sales leads...
- Reduce chores by automating your customer service...
- Deliver "electronic products" like eBooks and software -- automatically...
- Dramatically increase your sales and income...
... plus much more!
"And it's certainly not unreasonable to expect to snowball your income of $2,000-$5,000 into $40,000... $75,000.. even $100,000+ per year.
... Even if you're just starting out, six months from now you could have a significant part-time income of $15,000, spending no more than 3.5 hours per week (that's an extra $1,250 per month for as little as 8 hours of work)..."*

Copywriting for email is a completely different ball game than copywriting for the Internet...
... Because email and the Internet are two very different media, each with their own advantages -- and challenges!
I know this probably makes logical sense to you... In fact, you're probably
not surprised by this at all.
But did you know that 95% of the copywriting strategies most "experts" give you should NEVER be applied to your email campaigns? Why?
Because they're designed for web copy!

"Discover how I consistently attract tens of thousands of subscribers every month...
... And how to convert YOUR website visitors into loyal email subscribers (and buyers)!"
Are you having trouble persuading your visitors to "opt in" to your email list? Don't feel bad if you are... It's a common frustration.
Most website owners have subscription rates and opt-in rates of LESS THAN 1%...
I know, because I frequently talk to people who are having trouble getting 1 in 200... even 1 in 300 of their visitors to sign up for their newsletter...
Yet here's a little secret...
Did you know that our opt-in rate typically hovers between 10%-20%? It's true... Just this past month alone, 44,901 subscribers signed up for our free "Marketing Tips" Newsletter.* (Click here now if you'd like to sign up, too...)
To save you from doing the math, that's over 1,830 new subscribers PER DAY!
... How am I doing it? And more importantly, how can YOU do the same?
We'll tell you in our new eBook, where I give away our most advanced secrets for exploding the growth of your opt-in list including...

site grow dramatically higher, why rely on web site traffic alone?
Learn how can you double -- even triple -- the growth rate of your email list using newsletter announcement services, newsletter directories, and dirt-cheap ads... the same strategies we've used to build a list of 800,000+ loyal subscribers.
"Learn how YOU can win the long-term
loyalty of your email subscribers...
... Using our "Master Campaign Formula," which I use to consistently make $250,000.00 to $350,000.00 -- every month, with email!" *
When I tell people that I make, on average, $250,000 to $300,000 per month from email campaigns, they assume I must be "hammering" our opt-in list with promotion after promotion... *
They don't think our success could possibly last, because they think I must be wearing out our opt-in list!
I understand why they make these assumptions...
After all, I've seen plenty of examples of business owners who make FATAL mistakes mailing their lists and destroy their response rates forever! (I give you a case study of one such business owner in our eBook...)
|But the truth is, I've been doing this for YEARS now...

It's easier than you might imagine:
I have a "master campaign formula" that consistently wins the long-term loyalty of the vast majority of our new email subscribers... so they're actually eager to hear from me again!
And in our eBook, "The Insider Secrets to Email Marketing -- Version 2006," you'll learn exactly how it's done, too, including strategies like...
How often you can email your subscribers -- to get the highest response with the least complaints and unsubscribes.
If you mail too often, your subscribers will get annoyed and remove themselves from your list. But if you don't mail often enough, they may forget who you are and delete your emails (thinking your mail is unsolicited)!

|When to charge a "subscription fee" for your newsletter! Sometimes the lure of subscription fees outweighs the advantages of a free newsletter... but knowing how to make this profit model work for your business is key.
... plus, we'll
even show you our "failed" Affiliate Newsletter!
We'll show you why NOBODY was reading it (We're a bit embarrassed, but I think it's important you see this), and we'll show you how we turned things around to create a newsletter that is now widely read by all of our affiliates!
This eye-opening case study will give you valuable insights you'll be able to apply to both your newsletters AND your email promotions!
Without these
secrets, you too could wind up "burning" through
your hard-earned list and ensuring that your remaining subscribers never read your emails again.
Avoid having 50%-80% of your email TRAPPED by various spam filters...
... Plus, discover how to GUARANTEE every email you send is delivered to Yahoo!,
Hotmail, AOL, and Gmail subscribers!
I recently read an article that estimated 60%-80% of the 135 BILLION email messages sent worldwide every day are spam -- costing US businesses alone over $17 billion in 2005! (Ferris Research)
Unfortunately, because spam is such a problem these days, the industry has been forced to take a "guilty-until-proven-innocent" approach...
... And this means regular business owners like you and me need to be on high alert.
Quite frankly, unless you're paying attention and know the rules to avoid accidentally being labeled a "spammer," it's easy to end up on the "blacklists" of email service providers (like Hotmail, AOL, and Yahoo!) and anti-spam organizations who will block up to 50%-80% of your email from getting to your subscribers.
That's why I insisted that not one, but TWO lessons in our eBook deal with this critical subject step-by-step, and cover such topics as...
|Discover the 10 BASIC RULES you must follow to avoid being accused of "spamming"! Without these 10 rules, you are in danger of being shut down by your ISP, being "blacklisted" by the "spam police," and worst of all, damaging your reputation with your subscribers!
Understand common tricks used by spammers (like phishing!) -- so you don't accidentally use them too, and trigger "spam filters"!
|Who to contact if your email is accidentally "blacklisted" -- at Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL, Gmail, and more!
|How to get "whitelisted" with Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail and Gmail -- and guarantee the delivery of every email you send!
|The top 10 "blacklist" websites you MUST monitor to make sure your domain (or IP) hasn't been listed as a spammer!
|The 3 NEW criteria used by "spam filters" to deliver (or delete) your email -- accreditation, reputation, and email authentication!
|How to make sure EVERY email you send obeys the critical laws outlined in the "CAN-SPAM Act" of 2004! (If you don't, you risk serious fines!)
|Tips for getting your email subscribers to automatically fight for the deliverability of YOUR email with their email service provider!
How to recognize "spam trap" addresses in your email list -- and fight back against people who will TRY to get you in trouble with "blacklists"!
... and that's just a brief overview.
We're going to give you the education you need to intelligently manage your opt-in list, deal with any potential spam complaints quickly and effectively, and ensure your email is never unnecessarily "trapped" by spam filters.
A lot of business owners are intimidated by these sorts of spam and abuse issues... and as a result, they shy away from email marketing -- depriving themselves of generous sales and profits.
You'll never be in their shoes... Because "The Insider Secrets to Email Marketing -- Version 2006" gives you the education you need to bypass all the headaches...
"Skip the headaches and disappointment...
... Learn to automate your email chores -- BEFORE your conversion rates suffer!"
Here's another common problem business owners frequently face:
Maybe you've experienced this too...
As your business starts to become more successful, your list-management chores
start to snowball out of control.
... Unfortunately,
these days, list management and "spam issues" go hand-in-hand.
If you can stay on top of your subscribes, unsubscribes, and bounce backs... And if you are careful to remove "duplicates" from your lists and avoid mailing the same customer too many times in the same week... you'll be in great shape.
If you start to get behind in these chores, however, problems can start to pile up very quickly... from angry complaints, to problems with spam filters, to being "blacklisted."
Look, I know "list management" sounds really scary and intimidating to most business owners... That's why I invested a TON of time in our new eBook to this critical topic, breaking it down to its simplest form, so absolutely anyone will be able to read it and know how to...
Add new subscribers to your list the minute they sign up -- automatically!
|Unsubscribe people "on the fly," so there's never a backlog -- automatically!
Create separate
lists of customers and subscribers for custom mailouts -- automatically!
|Collect and store limitless information from new subscribers -- automatically!
|Remove "invalid" addresses from your list (like firstname.lastname@example.com) -- automatically!
|Protect yourself from "domain bombing" by removing duplicate addresses -- automatically!
|Automatically remove "bounce backs" -- once-valid email addresses that have now expired!
... plus much more!
You'll know how to keep your list clean of bad addresses and unsubscribes automatically, so you'll never waste needless hours on these critical chores.
Plus, we're going to help you make sure that you always collect the "right" information from your opt-in subscribers to make sure you aren't wrongly accused of spamming.
(There are THREE critical pieces of information you need to defend yourself... make sure you have these details!)
Advanced secrets even the so-called
"experts" are clueless about...

Why am I giving away these secrets?
When we first decided to write this book, I honestly had no idea that we'd agree to give away
ALL of our most profitable email marketing strategies.
That's because it took actually writing this book for me to fully comprehend how far ahead we are....
Like I mentioned earlier, we're able to do what very, very few businesses can even imagine -- we can run tests to 10... 15... 25 test lists, which consist of anywhere from 10,000-15,000 opt-in subscribers each.
We can send these tests one afternoon, and by the following morning, we can know exactly which one generated the best results. Then we can take the winning tests, modify them based on what we've learned, and run MORE tests...
In less than 48 hours, I can generate test results and uncover new strategies that would take most small business owners with their lists of 1,000-2,000 subscribers MONTHS to figure out.
... So when I first realized exactly HOW MUCH of our competitive advantage we were going to be
giving away, I have to confess... I hesitated.
However, after many sleepless nights, I finally decided that we can safely share our advantage with you (by giving you a firsthand look at the results of our most profitable tests) for two reasons:
First of all, we're committed to sharing ALL of our most profitable testing and research with our customers and subscribers -- even if it means giving away our competitive advantage.
Because even if six or nine months from now, these techniques are no longer as effective as they are today, you'll still have profited from them while they were "hot," and I will have had time to test new, better techniques that I can turn around and pass on to you again.
And second, I want to make sure email marketing remains a profitable, cost-effective way for business owners to communicate with their clients... and I realize that the best way to accomplish this is by educating people about how responsible email marketing works and how they can avoid accidentally sending spam.
... So we all win.
And that's why I've literally dumped all of our MOST profitable knowledge, experience, and email marketing expertise into the brand-new "Insider Secrets to Email Marketing -- Version 2006"...
However, like I mentioned, we've spent over 6 years accumulating the knowledge you'll get in this 390-page, jam-packed printable eBook.

Assume a point-mass $m$ is travelling in a straight line, and a force $F$ will act on $m$ (in the same direction as $m$'s velocity) over a constant distance $d$; why doesn't $m$'s velocity matter to the calculation of work done on $m$ by $F$? Work is defined such that, in this example, the work done by $F$ on $m$ is equal to $Fd$, but it seems that if $m$ were moving slower, it would spend more time in the field, allowing $F$ more time to act on $m$, thereby doing more work. In fact, if $m$'s velocity were very great, it would hardly spend time in $F$'s field at all (so very little work done). Maybe I misunderstand work; can someone address this confusion of mine?
In calculating work done by a constant force over a constant distance, why doesn't the subject's initial velocity matter?
Well, you simply need to accept that work is given by Force time Distance, and it doesn't matter how long it takes.
For example, the work done on a mass $m$ lifted a distance $h$ against gravity with an acceleration $g$ is given by:$$W=F\times h=mgh$$
If you are told that someone is going to drop a $1$ kilogram mass on your head from a height of $10$ metres, you may well have a lot of urgent questions, but how long the evil dropper took to get the weight up there is likely not one of them.
In the case of your example, suppose you have an object with mass $m$ travelling at velocity $v_o$, when a force $F$ is applied for a distance $D$, after which it is travelling at a velocity $v_f$, having experience an acceleration $a$.
The definition of the various constant acceleration equations give us:$$v_f^2=v_o^2+2aD$$ Multiply by $m$, divide by $2$, and we get:$$\frac12 mv_f^2=\frac12 mv_o^2+maD=\frac12 mv_o^2+FD$$The LHS is the final kinetic energy, and the RHS is the initial kinetic energy plus the work done.
Well, the reason it doesn't matter is that work is defined as
$$W = \int\vec{F}\cdot\mathrm{d}\vec{s}$$
so if you keep the force the same and the distance the same, this remains the same, regardless of what you do with the initial velocity.
Of course, that definition probably isn't particularly satisfying. So consider this: when an object is subject to a force, the rate at which that force changes its energy is given by the power,
$$P = \vec{F}\cdot\vec{v}$$
And since power is the rate at which the force transfers energy, the total work done will be the integral of power over time,
$$W = \int P\,\mathrm{d}t$$
or $W = P\Delta t$ for constant power.
When an object moves fast, then yes, it spends less time in the region with the force ($t = d/v$), but also that force produces more power $P = Fv$. These two effects cancel out exactly:
$$W = P\Delta t = (Fv)\biggl(\frac{d}{v}\biggr) = Fd$$
So the work done is the same either way.
As you describe, the definition of work is just: $W=F d$.
What you are confusing maybe is the rate of work $P$ and the force $F$. When you move fast, $P=Fv$ is larger, however the travelling time is shorter. let's consider we are moving in a constant velocity. Then:
Independent of velocity.
As you note, for a constant force acting on an object which moves in one direction, the work done is equal to $Fd$. One can see from the equation that work is not dependent on time, but only on force and displacement. In order to conceptualize this, you could think about the energy involved in the situation you describe.
When work is applied by an external force to the point mass, the kinetic energy of the mass will change such that $\Delta K=W$. For a slower moving point mass, a force applied for a certain distance will act for a longer time than a force applied to a faster moving particle, as you note. It would seem, as a result, that the effect the force has on the faster mass would be less than the affect had on the slower mass, and in a way this is true. The change in velocity of the faster moving point mass will be smaller than the change in velocity of the slower moving mass, because of the difference in time that the force is applied. However, the change in kinetic energy of both cases will be identical. Because of the work kinetic energy theorem: $$K_i + W=K_f$$we can say that if the change in kinetic energy for both cases is equivalent, then the work done in both cases must also be equivalent. No matter the amount of time the force is applied the work will be the same. In order to convince yourself of this, make up a problem for yourself where you apply a certain force to a particle over a certain distance, then calculate the resulting kinetic energy and velocity for both a particle moving slowly, and a particle moving quickly. You will find that though the change in velocity depends on the time the force is applied, the change in kinetic energy and the work are independent of this.
Without any math and considering only Newtonian model here, I would say that
if you move the inertial system at the same speed and direction as your mass point is moving, than you have no initial movement of the mass point
and the total force used for acceleration will be the same as if you calculated or measured it in the original inertial system.
Work done is also defined as change in kinetic energy of the body.
Since F is constant force so F/m=a is a constant acceleration of m.
So, $$v^2-u^2=2ad$$or$$mv^2/2-mu^2/2=2mad/2$$which is the work done by the force. The body has travelled d distance with accleration a in the force field assuming u was a constant velocity when it entered the field and v is final velocity when it leaves the field. Even if it had some acceleration say, a', then also$$v^2-u^2=2(a+a')d$$So the right hand side always remains constant because a,a',d and m are constants. So work done is same for all velocities. These things comes from the definition only which is $$Fd$$ So whether body is moving or at rest, if a constant force acts and body moves a distance d in the direction of F work done is$$Fd$$
Lots of good answers here, but most of them are pretty mathematical and not very intuitive. Lets consider a realistic example.
You're on the moon with a six shooter and some extra bullets. You are in a uniform field, and you make two point masses travel through the same distance by dropping a bullet with one hand and firing at the lunar surface with the other.
Both bullets speed up as they approach the lunar surface, under the influence of lunar gravity. Since the force is the same and the distance is the same, the work done by the moon's gravity on the two bullets is the same, despite the fact that the fired bullet went through that meter of gravitational field orders of magnitude faster. But despite that, the kinetic energy gained by both bullets is the same and the potential energy lost by both is the same.
Does that make it intuitively any more clear?

It is my belief that enough other parts of the Earth would survive either a man-made or natural event, that we COULD recover and rebuild.
For those who are interested in educating themselves on EMP and various solar EM phenomena, the best site on the web right now is the futurescience EMP page here:http://www.futurescience.com/emp.htmlIf you have any genuine interest in the subject, start with this link, keep on reading, and draw your own conclusions.
One source for the belief is the testing of small transistorized radios that was done during the 1970s. That testing cannot be extrapolated to today's solid-state receivers, which usually use integrated circuits that are much more sensitive to EMP than the receivers of the 1970s that used much more rugged discrete transistors.
My proof that our consumer electronics are tougher is that fifteen year old twits routinely make their own gaming computers from components and that Newegg makes a fortune off them.
Eh? Fifteen year old computer builders are equivalent to EMP strikes? That's your proof?
Effective mass EMP involves the use of high altitude nuclear explosions, not something available to the average terrorist.As for non-nuclear EMP, it's real, too:http://www.wnd.com/2012/10/it-works-computers-fried-by-emp-like-blast/Most terrorists don't have cruise missiles, however.You don't seem to have any real notion as to what you are talking about when it comes to EMP, Psi, and until you do, I'm not going to bother debating this with you any more. It's a waste of my time.

Let $G$ and $H$ be locally compact totally disconnected abelian groups, and $f:G\rightarrow H$ a surjective open map. Let $Y\subseteq G$ be a discrete subgroup in the subspace topology. Is it true that the image $f(Y)$ is also discrete in the subspace topology? If so, how can one prove it?
No, that's false. You didn't say that $f$ is a homomorphism, but the answer is still no if we require this.
Let $G = {\bf Z} \times C_2 \times C_3 \times C_5 \times \cdots$ be the product of the infinite cyclic group and the cyclic groups of all prime orders. Let $H = C_2 \times C_3 \times C_5 \times \cdots$ and let $f: G \to H$ be the obvious homomorphism with kernel ${\bf Z}$. Let $Y$ be the subgroup of $G$ generated by the element $(1, 1, 1, \ldots)$. It is a discrete infinite cyclic subgroup, but its image in $H$ is not discrete (in fact, it is dense in $H$).

Except for situations listed below, all students enrolled in the CHP health insurance plan in need of medical care in Manhattan are required to first seek treatment and be evaluated at the SHC. If the evaluation by the SHC provider determines that the services are not available at the SHC, an off-site referral will be issued. Covered services received in Manhattan without an appropriate referral will not be paid by CHP. Any co-pays or co-insurance fees incurred with respect to such referrals will be the responsibility of the student.
*Referrals are required for follow-up visits after an emergency.
Students may use any provider outside the borough of Manhattan without an off-site referral from the SHC. Any co-pays or co-insurance fees incurred will be the responsibility of the student.
We encourage students to first seek services from an SHC provider who will be able to supervise and coordinate care with minimal out-of-pocket expense for medically necessary treatment.
Students seeking care from providers outside the SHC should consider choosing a provider who participates in the MagnaCare (NY/NJ area) or MultiPlan networks to ensure maximum benefits and reduce out-of-pocket expenses. To find a MagnaCare (NY/NJ area) or MultiPlan provider go to www.chpstudent.com or call (877) 373-1170 and a CHP representative will assist you in locating a participating provider. Any co-pays or co-insurance fees incurred will be the responsibility of the student.
Important: A referral cannot be granted after services have been rendered.
The referral is only valid for treatment of a specific condition for the period of time stated on the referral.
The referral may also limit the number of visits allowed within that time frame.
The condition must be re-evaluated by the SHC healthcare provider once the limits of the referral have been reached.
The school-sponsored health insurance plans require Pre-Certification/Authorization for certain out-patient and in-patient services. Hines Associates Inc., administers the Pre-Certification/Authorization process for the plans. To contact Hines Associates, call (866) 327-4520.
Pre-certification of coverage is required, except in emergencies, for services including, but not limited to:

Tactile domes are used in communication devices as the switch element incorporated into membrane switches and control panels. Generally, they are made of 301 stainless steel preplated with 3 to 7 microns of nickel or silver.
A global electronics stamper with business in the tactile domes segment encountered problems while forming tactile domes of silver and also nickel-plated stainless steel. The problems included yield loss caused by issues with the plating. A poor adhesion between the coating and the base material and a large variation in the coating thickness along and across the strip (dog-bone effect) resulted in flaking and uneven contact performance. Customers perceived these defects as evidence of poor performance.
The stamper switched the work material to Sandvik Materials Technology's Santronic™, which is an alternative technology for coating stainless steel strip with diverse metal layers such as silver and nickel used for stamping electronic components such as tactile domes, contact springs, and EMI shielding.
The material is engineered to have excellent adhesion between the base material and coating to prevent cracking and flaking, as well as excellent fatigue and relaxation resistance, the company said. Its smooth, flat surface created by the optimized coating process is designed to increase electrical contact.
"Using Sandvik Santronic, we were able to increase our yield, lower our production costs, and improve the finished products' performance for our clients. Because of this, we have strengthened our leadership role in the marketplace and expanded our production capacity," the stamper's production manager said.

Miami City Ballet Program IIFox-Trot: Dancing in the Dark, Mercuric Tidings, Ballet Imperial
Posted 12 January 2009 - 06:12 PM
Posted 13 January 2009 - 10:12 PM
OK, so on the first performance-(I know last Friday, but better a late review than none, right ?)-I was a little bored by the second Intermezzo-(after The Fox-Trot and Mercuric Tidings, until the reward came at its most exuberant form under the name of Ballet Imperial. Another new-(for me)- BALLET and definitely another visual pleasure. This was surely Balanchine at his most imperial mode, and needless to say, after the first two minutes of it I was loving it already. Now, IF I was to compare-(based on my very limited knowledge of Balanchine to what Ive seen so far)-BI doesnt really go to the top of the list. La Valse Bourree Fantasque Serenade all those come first in my humble list. Nevertheless, BI was everything I expect from a BALLET as far as my devouring/amateur eye could see: the demanding technical feats for the soloists, the fluid Corps choreography, the powerful score the big tiaras-(Karinskas?), the beautiful footwork on pointe.
On Friday night solos went to everyones favorite Mary Carmen Catoya who, looking as regal as ever, was singularly impressive in the performance. Catoyas technique was, again, once of sharp attack and sparkling details. She danced with her usual partner, Brazilian Renato Panteado, who has proved again to know exactly how to get the best of this girl when paired with her. This sympathetic partner was given a few moments of glory and took full advantage. Panteado is a dancer of gentle, shapely phrases and a welcome lightness.
Oh, but back to the choreography. I want to mention a moment that I found particularly beautiful, in which I had a deja-vu from SL's Love Duet . At some point during the PDD, Panteado positioned himself behind Catoya, who was standing on one foot on pointe, and leaning slightly backward, she rested her body against him, while he slowly took one of her arms then the other one to finally embrace her in the most romantic gesture. Just like Odette and Siegfried. So beautiful Right after this, he took her by her hand and they slowly walked around the stage...Panteado showing off his ballerina to an encircled group of girls, who took turns bowing before the couple as they were passing by. I will never forget this delicate choreographic detail. It was right there that I thought: Petipa and Balanchine and back to Petipa
On Saturday the solos were given to Tricia Albertson and Yang Zou-(a very promising boy lets watch him), the third girl given to Katia Carranza, who also danced the role the night before-(as I was just informed). This season I've noticed Albertson's dancing more bland, kind of slowed down. I don't know what happened to the fire machine I saw dancing "Rubies" with Jeremy Cox a while ago. Carranza is always a pleasure to watch, usually kind of a secure ticket to any performance. On Saturday she shined more than the night before, where she was more contained. Im glad shes back this season.
The end presented an exuberant mass finale in which the Corps, which has become one of the real strengths of the company, was given a lot to do. Here again, Villellas boys and girls succeeded with accuracy and poise. I want to note the challenge of having watched this ballet on Saturday night from the 5th Ring the upper level. It was a totally new experience from the the night before. The groupings and re groupings of the Corps were hypnotic from up there.
The sets displayed a set of elegant blue drapes flying across the stage against a plain backdrop . I just was wondering how could it had been with the old tutus and the Saint Petersbourg-rendering sets...
Yes...BI had all my blessing.

This was surely Balanchine at his most imperial mode, and needless to say, after the first two minutes of it, I was loving it already. Now, IF I was to compare-(based on my very limited knowledge of Balanchine to what Ive seen so far)-BI doesnt go first. La Valse Bourree Fantasque Serenade all those come first in my humble list.
I agree, Ballet Imperial (with Theme and Variations and maybe one or two others) is one of Balanchine's most striking evocations of the old Imperial ballet he knew in his youth. It's a piece I'm fond of too.
OKThe sets displayed a set of elegant blue drapes flying across the stage against a plain backdrop .
I just was wondering how could it had been with the old tutus and the Saint Petersbourg-rendering sets...
Well, when I last saw ABT do it, about 3 years ago, they used classical tutus with the jeweled headresses. Their scenery isn't very elaborate though. I don't know what the odds are of their bringing this piece to your neck of the woods though.
I tend to think the classical tutus are a better match with the style of the piece but I guess the flowing gowns reflect Balanchine's later thoughts on the piece, as TPC2

(1) I also wondered about the costumes. I prefer what MCB actually did (tending to like a sleeker, more "modern" look in things). But you are right that it would have made more sense, if you're reverting to the Ballet Imperial name, to give it more of the "ballet imeprial" look.
(2) Interesting point about Albertson. I've also noticed a change in her dancing this year. Blander. You mention, "slowed down," which may be it. She always struck me as having the potential to be one of those wonderfully quirky versions of the really exciting Balanchine dancer, one who makes the choreography seem risky, newly invented and unexpected.

I was lucky enough to see a cast that included Nina A, Gomes and Monique Meunier in the second ballerina role. The combination of the costumes (tutus & tiras), scenery, brilliant choreography and performances that combined steely technique with theatrical inclination added up to one of those performances that will live on in my memory forever. There was no scenery chewing involved, but layers and layers of meaning revealed through the dance. You got the feeling that this was more than the interaction of 3 dancers and a corps but a look at the fading last days of the era, a glimpse into a world that was on the verge of extinction. There was certainly a sense of loss in the relationship between the 2 principals but there was also a distinct sense of time passing them by. It was pure poetry, Balanchine style.

nysusan, I'll be very interested in your comments on her performance. I've seen Catoya since we moved down here in 2001. She was always an excellent dancer. However, something seems to have have happened last season: she flowered. Everything that once seemed to have been accomplished through technique and a kind of will-power seemed to become natural and, if not quite joyful, at least full of life and the apperance of a deep and highly personal pleasure in moving. At times she even seems to possess what old-time Spaniards used to call "duende," a spirit often associate with the greatest flamenco artists, though of course Catoya is ultra-classical.
Hoping for lots & lots of Catoya
Last year I attributed this change to the influence of dancing with the magnetic Rolando Sarabia. But I notice that THIS year Catoya's regular partner, Renato Penteado, has also begun to look freer, happier, more expansive on stage. His variation in Ballet Imperial was a revelation for me. It's amazing how someone who has always been able to DO cabrioles, entrechats, and that whole armoury of steps, all of a sudden seems to be living and enjoying them. This freeing up has made him a significantly better partner. He was a good Sanguinic in November. As one of the 3 Pilot's Buddies in Villella's Fox Trot, he was better good: as jazzy and ineresting as Jeremy Cox.
It really is nice to watch dancers growing.

But now for some thoughts on what we have seen here so far:
This being MCB we're talking about, the dancers can often make their material look better than you realize it is when you think about it, so for me Fox Trot's justification depends on what the dancers can make of it; Kronenberg, as "Ava", gave what she had to do everything she had, including her restraining dance intelligence (she never overdoes, or substitutes), but it still wasn't enough for me, and early parts of the second pas de deux had downright embarassing moments. (If I had never seen her dance anything before, I would really want to see her in a real ballet after this one.) Alternating, Wu merely gave it her large, classic simplicity. Guerra's easy aerial elegance was the most effective in making something of "The Gal from Joe's", the second of the eight numbers, and Wong's ease in the spectacular tricks of "St. Louis Blues March", the fifth one, have been justifiably praised here, not to mention the four men with walking sticks who back him up, but the best-inspired and most musical number for me was the next one, "Back Bay Shuffle", where Villella's invention finally just flowed and flowed and looked like he really felt the music. The ensembles along the way were okay.
In Mercuric Tidings, though, everybody looked very good in everything, from the first moment to the last, although as the lighting was dimmer for the second movement, it was harder to see. This ballet uses three movements from the first two Schubert symphonies, two allegros to open and close and an adagio, or andante in between; sensitively musical, which Fox Trot did not seem to me to be, except for that one number, it's not exactly purely abstract: The slow second movement has two pairs of principals, one who dance early and then another later to a musical recapitulation; a soloist woman, and a three-girl corps, with everyone visible briefly at the end. In the first pas de deux especially, there's a bit of something, yearning or a quest of one for the other; human involvement of some kind.
Then in Ballet Imperial, the evening rose to its greatest height. (This is not just my idea; Villella made clear in his remarks Saturday afternoon that one of his ideas for the program was "build": Each ballet was at a higher level than the one before! That's a magnanimous thing to say, considering the first one was his own, right? Well, he's always seemed like someone with a large and generous spirit.)
Saturday afternoon Tricia Albertson, with Yang Zou, was large , clear, secure and lovely in the lead, while Zou was rather correct, hardly a sin in a ballet which depends so much on technique, as Crista Villella reminded us Saturday evening, filling in for her father in the pre-performance remarks. But, good as she was, Albertson was no phenomenon. That was Mary Carmen Catoya, who was at something like her old high level in this ballet on Friday night and then bettered herself, I felt, Saturday night. Renato Penteado was as classically clear as Zou but more than that; he brought just the right panache to his role, as Catoya's companion would need to. They are a superb pair.
And Francisco Renno seemed to outdo himself Saturday evening too. His playing throughout the weekend was distinguished, not least by investing what he plays with his left hand with as much life as what he plays with his right. From first to last, the concerto glowed with color, and sang.

That's just what I had in mind. Some of the lifts during the PDD were just plain wrong-(choreographically speaking).
(If I had never seen her dance anything before, I would really want to see her in a real ballet after this one.)
And yes, one just wants to see a real ballet after this kind of..dance...On my second night I even got to the theater after the first Intermezzo. No...no patience.
Ballet Imperial was my reward.

Re: Fox Trot. Strangely, this worked better for me as part of a full evening devoted to different 20th century social dancing styles, which MCB performed a few seasons ago. When the evening was ALL Villella, it actually cohered and developed. The whole, strangely to me, worked better than the individual parts. On its own, Fox Trot seemed slight and vulnerable, nothing more than something to fill the first act, before Taylor and Balanchine showed up. For me at least.
Kronenberg does bring amazing charisma and sex-appeal to her part. Wu, who had to expand her kusual range to take on the role, and who was quite lovely, could not carry it to the level of real story-line interest.
Guerra's character is the focus of the piece, anyway. Ava seems taken with him -- but then he gets distracted and a little too drunk -- so he loses her, without really seeming to notice, to someone else. In the meantime, she spends a lot of time alone at her table or with less interesting guys, while Guerra goes off to dance with his own cronies. When Ava is wafted out by "tkhe Pilot," Guerra dosn't even notice. This is ironical, I suppose. But something more "Warner Brothers" is desparately needed. When you do nostalgia/kitsch, you have to do it all the way!!!
Sorry you missed Kronenberg in Ballet Imperial. it would have been good to hear your thoughts about her as compared to Catoya. (I missed Albertson.)
Regarding Seay: she did not dance when MCB peformed the same program in West Palm so many weeks ago. Or, I should say, she did not dance in the 3 (of 4) performances I saw. I regreted this, but there were no major parts in this program that would have showed her off as she deserves.
Did you see both casts in the Taylor? It would be great to know your take on Cox/Delgado(Patricia) as compared to Baker/Delgado(Jeanette). All were wonderful -- but SO different. What did you think?
Only a couple of days before the City Center opening! I'm shocked to find that I'm actually NERVOUS, or over-exited anyway. And I'm not even a dancer!

Anyway, bart, I did see Kronenberg's BI this (Sunday) afternoon after I posted this morning and expressed my wish to see her in something "real". Would that I get what I wish for that quickly more often in life! Her partner was Guerra, and Albertson was the soloist! So this performance was one of the very top ones, and a fitting end of the little run for me: Tempos were a bit easier, which Kronenberg used for a grander, more regal rendition, I felt, a monarch more of this world and a little more variegated than Catoya's, who seemed to me a little more god-like. They're very effective approaches, each in their own way; if pressed to choose only one to see ever again, it might be Catoya and Penteado's, but perversely imagining this choice just makes me all the more glad I don't have to make it and that I got both, and in just a short span! What a company this is!
And as the soloist role seems to me to be a foil for the principal woman's role, it's all the more effective, that is, in raising our attention and appreciation of the principal by showing us someone close to her in more ways than one; and so the casting of Albertson, another tall woman, so similar in her way of moving she could almost be confused with Kronenberg sometimes, and also Guerra, whose personal "flavor" is more like Kronenberg's than, say Penteado's is, that this cast, seemingly made for each other, had such strength from unity that it ranked a close second to Saturday night's Catoya-Penteado-Carranza cast. (This was the performance that outdid the Friday evening one.)
By the way, I have been wondering why Symphony in C and not this arguably greater ballet is going to New York, and this afternoon Villella explained that this ballet has only one couple in it while Symphony in C has three.
I saw both casts in Mercuric Tidings, and I preferred Cox/Patricia D. vs. Baker/Jeanette D., because Patricia D. seems to me the more continent of the two sisters, and that's a virtue especially for this dance, not to mention Cox's greater presence. (Baker, new here, right?, looks a real comer, though.) As to the issue of Taylor dancers versus ballet dancers running earlier in this thread, I see the difference as more muscular and weightier -- that's not heavier, by the way -- versus lighter and more delicate; and I prefer the weight and authenticity of Taylor's dancers, but not by a whole lot. This was a very satisfying showing, and serves a further purpose in the relative absence of Taylor's company from this area. (There are darker Taylor dances which might suffer more in the translation to ballet dancers.)

Arguably being the operative word. I would argue the other
By the way, I have been wondering why Symphony in C and not this arguably greater ballet is going to New York, ...
I like the choice of ballet, and I like Villella's thinking. The more, the merrier.
... and this afternoon Villella explained that this ballet has only one couple in it while Symphony in C has three.
I'm very excited but not at all nervous. Of course, I don't have the protective feelings towards these dancers that I might have towards my favorites in New York -- it's a matter of familiarity. But I've seen enough to hold them in high regard and know that they are more than up to the ballets they're bringing. And those they're leaving home, as well.

Trojans Halt Carson-Newman Rally, Win 5-4April 11, 2014
ANDERSON, S.C. – After entering the singles round with a 2-1 advantage, Anderson University men's tennis fended off a comeback by Carson-Newman and defeated the Eagles, 5-4, Friday afternoon at Max Grubbs Memorial Courts.
With the victory, the Trojans improve to 9-7 on the season and 8-2 in South Atlantic Conference play, while C-N falls to 5-18 overall and 3-8 within the league. Most recently, Anderson has earned victories in three of its last four matches and eight of its last 11.
Sending out an unfamiliar lineup in the doubles round, the Trojans managed two victories as sophomore Paul Michael Calhoun and freshman Mateo Rivas earned their first win as a doubles team with an 8-1 triumph over Carson-Newman's Juan Sebastian and Stefano Daza at the No. 1 slot. At No. 3, the sophomore team of Tomas Passalacqua and Inaki Iriberry defeated Jonathan Allen and Garret Duron 8-5 to give the home side a 2-1 advantage.
As the Trojans entered the singles portion, the Eagles captured straight-set wins at No. 2 and at No. 5 to grab a lead in the team score. Facing the deficit, the Trojans fought back with a Carracedo victory (6-2, 6-2) over Joao Pedro Oliveria at the No. 1 position and a Calhoun triumph over Allen at No. 4 (6-1, 6-2). Carracedo's win was his fourth victory in a row as he had earned wins in six of his last seven.
Rivas sealed the AU victory with a three-set 6-4, 2-6, 7-6 win over Daza at the No. 3 position, as the Trojans sealed their spot into next week's Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Tournament. With the win, Rivas snapped a three-match losing streak after winning six straight before the skid.
Anderson will have a quick turnaround as it returns to conference action on Sunday when it hits the road to league newcomer, Queens. First serve from Freedom Park is set for 1 p.m.

A friend's father, who is a software engineering manager, said, emphatically, "The number one cause of scheduling overruns is scheduling pressure."
Where does the research stand? Is a moderate amount of scheduling pressure invigorating, or is the manager I mentioned right or wrong, or is it a matter of "the more scheduling pressure you have, the longer the delivery time and the more TCO?" Is it one of those things where ideally software engineering would work without scheduling pressure but practically we have to work with constraints of real-world situations?
Any links to software engineering literature would be appreciated.

One encourages better quality questions, the other helps a person with a problem. Both admirable goals. Right?
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
I would say it is the opposite of unethical! (very ethical?)
Just because you don't think it is a good question or there are issues with it does not mean you can't provide an answer. I think it is very honest to do this.
There is only one thing that's a bit concerning, answering a sub par question gives it a (mostly false) sense of legitimacy1 (assuming of course the answer is good). If the question is truly crap, I would probably not answer it and go for the downvote / close vote combo.
If, on the other hand, the question isn't that bad, but still worthy of a downvote, I'd say go for it. It would be nice if you also spend some time helping the OP fix the question (commenting / editing), and awesome if you retracted your downvote if they actually fix it, but you've already done enough by answering the question, it's completely up to you to decide if you'll go the extra step or not.
1 The "Eeek! How can it be not a real question when someone answered it!" phenomenon.
Most certainly not. This is the reason there is an independent score for the question and each answer. A terrible, un-researched, l337 sp33kin' question could be downvoted to oblivion and still attract a fantastic answer. There's even a badge for extreme cases.
Remember that votes are not permanent and can be removed if the post was edited since the vote was cast. I use downvotes sometimes (along side a comment) to encourage the user to improve their question. Once they have done that, I'm very happy to remove and possibly even reverse my vote. Till then, if I can help the OP out by providing an answer there is no reason not to.

Prelabor is the time before actual labor when the body prepares for childbirth.
Every day this month your body is preparing for labor so that when the moment actually arrives, your body is ready. Prelabor signals that you're in the getting-ready-for-labor stage include:
Birth contractions are muscle spasms of the uterus that will eventually help push the baby through the birth canal.
False labor is contractions that make you think you are in real labor when you're not. They are a false alarm.
On the TV sitcoms, the pregnant woman always grabs her big belly with a look of wide-eyed surprise and announces, "It's time." Unfortunately, labor doesn't usually come on like that. You might spend a lot of time this month timing contractions, grabbing your suitcase, and then stopping short, realizing the contractions have stopped—false labor!
False labor feels just like the real thing. That's why thousands of pregnant women who rush to the hospital are sent home again to wait just a little longer. This is embarrassing, naturally (especially if you've woken your spouse, your parents, and your physician to announce the news), but it's nothing new. When contractions start you can tell, usually, that real labor has not begun if you answer "yes" to these four questions:
If you're saying "yes," you're not in real labor yet. When real labor contractions begin, you will find that you cannot walk or talk through them. That's a good time to start packing.
Labor is the process by which the body prepares for childbirth.
It would be so nice if there were definite symptoms of labor so every expectant mother would know exactly when labor begins. But labor is different for every woman-and for some women it is a different experience for each of the children they have. The best you can do is know the signs that mean things are moving along and delivery day (D-day) is near.
If you answer "yes" to any of these three questions you might be in labor:
Talk to your doctor about when you should call her about your labor. She'll tell you to time your contractions. Also let her know when they reach a certain frequency and intensity. She'll also tell you not to worry too much about having your baby on the living room floor by accident. All over the world most new mothers arrive at their birthing centers not too soon and not too late. If you pay close attention, you will hear the body signals that say, "It's time to go!"

I have set up Apache, MySQL, PHP, SSH (which I use to connect to the VPS), Node.js, MongoDB and ProFTPd. Now, I want to have a firewall on the system, so that no one hacks the system. For instance, MongoDB is open for all on the default port unless I set it to secure mode and provide a password and so on. But it is recommended to have security mode off, and use a firewall to block requests on that port instead.
How would I set up the firewall? (I am not experienced with Linux, and I can only use SSH.)

Hundreds of expecting parents, new parents, and veteran parents took advantage of the Medical Center's Expectant Parent Fair today.
From baby shower supplies, to life insurance, to photography the fair offered tools for parents to become better educated about what Bowling Green offers for the little ones.
Medical Center labor and delivery nurse, Emily Campbell says events like this are a great way to inform everyone in the family about the new baby on the way.
"You might need a little refresher and also, this has a lot of things we offer in the community. So it's nice to know that you have these things at your fingertips and resources that we can provide you with," she says.
The Medical Center offers the Expectant Parent Fair twice a year, in April and October.

I have an iPhone 4 with some slight water damage. The only issue is that when I am listening on headphones, occasionally it thinks that it is docked (which silences the headphones), then half a second to 10 seconds later, it thinks it has been removed from the dock that it was never connected to and thus pauses the audio. Since all this happens in the OS while it monitors the status of the headphone jack and the media dock, it would be very easy to write a program to tell it to stop polling the media dock, and thus the faulty dock detection switch would be ignored. So, has someone already written an iPhone app that is on Cydia that would let me turn off the dock detector switch?
Unfortunately, this would require some very specific code that goes beyond anything I've seen on Cydia. That's not to say that a solution does not (or will not by the time I finish this post) exist. However, through my research and experience, this is handled by code much deeper in iOS than most Cydia apps care to touch. I wish I could offer a solution, but unfortunately, I think the only "real" solution is repair or replacement. Sorry. :(
Good luck and happy listening!
Perhaps more of a workaround than an answer, and it may only solve half your problem (plus a bit late), but anyway: my suggestion is to try a different music player. The standard Apple iPod app (and most other audio players) not only redirects audio when docked, but stop playing when undocked, as you noted in your description. However, there are some audio player apps that don't stop playing when undocked. Just one example is the free Cydia app MyFile (just tried this with my iPod and dock). So you'll still have the "half a second to 10 seconds" silence, but won't have to press play afterwards.
I'd use eBay to swap the phone. Upgrade to a 4S
People will buy iPhones that are in much worse condition , and in one day auctions.
I followed a tip in a reddit forum somewhere.. Using iFile, go to system --> Library --> LaunchDaemons and there search for a file "com.apple.iapd.plist". Make a backup of that first and then delete it. When you reboot your system, voila! you should have your audio back. It worked for me. I guess it deletes the docking detecting algorithm so make sure you back up the file in case you have to use some dock in the future.!
