Ha! to all you Linking black hatters...
Does this mean that Google doesn't approve of linking? By all means, NO... Google supports linking in every way, in fact they encourage website owners to obtain external links in order to help their rankings. What they don't approve of is the purchasing of links in order to increase rankings.
The point of rankings within the search engine results pages (SERPs) is to help the user find what they are looking for efficiently. If a website has next to no relevant content and has rankings just because of a load of external links is that helping the user find what they need?
If the website has relevant content to what the user is looking for, then chances are the user isn't only going to find what they need, but the user is going to be so excited about the site that they are going to either blog it, or tell others about the site by adding a link to it.
This was the whole basis to Google's algorithms from the beginning. The problem is that SEO's have been using black hat techniques in order to increase rankings quickly (linking, doorway pages, duplicate content, etc) leaving Google and the other search engines having to adjust the algorithms in order to bring the most relevant results.
When optimizing a website, always be sure to provide your user with relevant content, and landing pages that reflect what each user would be looking for. For example, if someone is looking to start dating online they would want a website that offers advice for those wanting to date online. Thus when a user types in "Online Dating Advice" They would find a website and a webpage that reflects the online dating advice.
Google talks more about this and Matt also adds a bit about how Google made some algorithmic changes recently which resulted in a lot of websites loosing pagerank and search results - Purchasing Links is BAD -
Read it and memorize it well...
Always remember that if you have to adjust because your site lost rankings, then you aren't optimizing correctly.

Google snippets
Matt Cutts visited us here in Seattle by heading to Google Kirkland office. They had decided to make a few videos of Matt while he was there and post it to the Google Webmaster Blog - Anatomy of a Search Result. Matt's video explains the snippets (title and description that shows up in your search results). He used Starbucks as an example. The Starbucks site is a good one since it has limited content on the page, but uses meta descriptions in their code.
Matt mentioned in the video that we have no control over the site links presented underneath the snippet which isn't entirely true. While we are unable to pay for the extra sitelinks within the snippet, we are able to control them through the webmaster tools. Under the "links" and then "sitelinks" within webmaster tool, if Google has generated sitelinks for your website, you are able to control them from there.
Always remember how the snippet works:
- If the search term is within the meta description of the web page then the description will appear in the snippet (with the term highlighted in bold).
- If the term isn't in the meta description or there isn't a meta description then the words around the content within the body of the page will be displayed (with the term highlighted in bold).
- If the page does not have content and does not have a meta description, then the description is generally pulled from the open directory project
- If there isn't any content on the page, no description in the meta tags, and the site hasn't been submitted to the open directory project then the descriptiontion will be blank.
A great example of the fourth scenario is a client I have been working on that came to me with his website that was created entirely in graphics. The website was a great design, and had a lot of great information on it, but the text was put in images and placed on the site that way. The website wasn't even ranking for the name. The only way to pull it up int he results was to do a site: search to see that the pages were getting indexed, but the content wasn't getting recognized (because of the images).
I am currently in the process of pulling out the text from the images and the html is recoded to keep the design the same while keeping the text still recognizable. I also added a webmap for more efficient indexing, and landing pages for the terms that the client wanted to rank for. There is an xml sitemap submitted to the webmaster tools, and a Google analytics account setup for tracking conversions.
The client should start to see better results soon after we get the new site launched.

Classmates is getting rankings
I hate to say this but the fact that tis page is ranking is wrong on so many levels.
From a usability standpoint - most people looking for the classmates address (such as myself) while Google ha it on the map, to see this page i the results is very confusing. How many of these pages are ranking? I have come across the final form page on several occasions while searching schools, or other such affiliations (researching schools for the kids). The problem is that a user coming to this page for any other reason than to sign up for classmates.com is very confused as to what they should do. This page is meant to be the last in a 5 page registration process in which a user starts from www.classmates.com and then flows through to the school they attended when they graduated. I had mentioned this while the SEO Manager at classmates.com but they chose to keep the pages as is, and decided not to make the fix in order to get the actual landing pages that we had designed and launched in December 2006. The pages were designed to recognize who would be landing on these pages, give the user a clear understanding as to why they were there, and what we would like them to do once there (The target audience, value proposition, and call to action). Those pages went from a 10% conversion rate (that's being nice) to a 50% to often 60% conversion rate.
It's a shame that the registration form page is ranking higher than the intended landing page.
The second reason why it's a bad thing to see this page listed is that the page is the test high school that the QA department uses in order to ensure there are no bugs in the registration process.
If it were me, I would remove it from the index through the webmaster tools, and then add it to the robots.txt to ensure that it wouldn't ever rank again.
Maybe even suggest that we not let it go to prod, and leep it on the QA servers just for testing.

Newsmax had a story today about a well-funded group that wants to form a centrist third party to hold a primary on the Internet.
Americans Elect is a collection of Republicans, Democrats and independents who say they are disgusted by the polarization that has poisoned American politics, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Americans Elect candidates are New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, former Louisiana Gov. Buddy Roemer, former Democratic Sen. Evan Bayh, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, and, they hope, Hillary Clinton. If you notice, the candidates are all flaming ass moonbats, not Centrists, but whatever. About time, we had a third party from the left.

Is your blog a lonely place?
Maybe no one is visiting. Or, if they visit, maybe they don't comment.
Maybe they don't share your post on social networking sites. Or they don't subscribe to your email list.
Or maybe you've got the big problem — you can't convert the traffic you do get into buying customers.
Yesterday we talked about creating the kind of content that attracts a loyal audience. But the problem doesn't always lie with your content. Your content could be truly useful and valuable. But without one critical element, you could find yourself writing to the wind for years.
What is that one element?
And how do you use it to build an engaged and responsive audience?
You have a relationship problem
Let's face it — you're not close with your readers.
Maybe readers were excited when they first discovered your blog.
But now, you've let the relationship go stale, with the same old types of posts, day after day. Especially if they're all about you all the time.
It becomes easy for readers to pass on by. To delete your emails. Soon, they're not in love with your content anymore.
Simply writing a post and sending it out to subscribers isn't fascinating. Everyone's doing it.
You need to do something to put the magic back in your relationship, and make your blog irresistible to your readers.
Fortunately, you have some awesome tools to help you out with that. It's called social media for a reason — there are dozens of incredible tools that are all about building relationships. And that's what we're going to talk about today.
40 ways to build a valuable relationship with your readers
There are a lot of different ways to rekindle that spark of excitement between you and your readers. But they all involve putting a bit more effort into building your bond.
And as with all good relationships, it requires a lot more listening and tuning in to others' needs rather than focusing on your own desires.
I'm not saying you should do all of these things at once, but here are 40 different ways to build more engagement and find readers for your content:
1. Listen for what your readers need. Then, deliver it. Give those readers credit — by name — for inspiring the content you create.
2. Respond to their comments. They will feel validated and noticed.
3. Email frequent commenters for feedback. These are often big fans, so deepen the relationship beyond the blog.
4. Follow your readers on Twitter. It only takes a minute to look them up and click that 'follow' button.
5. Connect on LinkedIn. This makes readers feel like they're one of the cool people … and allows you to easily scope out their background and learn more about what they're doing.
6. Say 'hi' if you see readers on LinkedIn groups. It just feels oh-so-friendly.
7. Comment on their blogs. Most commenters leave a URL when they comment, so it's not hard to click over there, check out their stuff, and leave a reaction.
8. Retweet their posts. While you're there, hit that little RT button. A retweet is a great compliment.
9. Write a post answering questions they've asked in the comments. You could build a whole post around one interesting comment, or create a mailbag roundup where you answer many reader questions. Remember to credit readers when you use their questions as sparks for content!
10. Answer their emails. Any reader who takes the time to track down your email and send you a message outside your blog comments deserves a response.
11. Offer them job leads. Nothing inspires gratitude like getting someone a gig, which is why many popular blogs offer a job board.
12. Ask intelligent commenters to guest post on your blog. They'll feel special and, in my experience, they'll be retweeting every post you put up for years to come.
13. Do a guest post — or two — on their blog. This is one of the fastest routes for going from casual acquaintances to close friends.
14. Take a poll. What's on reader's minds? You'll be able to write posts they really love if you find out.
15. Hold an essay contest and feature the winners in a post. Let readers show off their writing for a change.
16. Skype one of your readers. I try to take a virtual 'lunch' with someone new on a regular basis.
17. Mastermind with a half-dozen regulars. Sales guru Grant Cardone is masterminding now with fans of his new book — and recording it so others can benefit, too.
18. Arrange to meet local readers in person. Grab a cuppa joe at a local coffeeshop and just shoot the breeze.
19. Record a free podcast or Webinar for your readers. Hearing your voice or seeing you on a recording makes a more intimate connection with listeners.
20. Do a live call where you unmute their phones and answer their questions. The immediacy of the live call-in format makes readers feel you care.
21. Send them cookies. Seriously. Find out their physical address and send them a little gift. It will blow people's minds.
22. Ask a question (preferably an open-ended one) at the end of your post. That usually gets them talking.
23. Don't finish your posts. Just provide a few tips, and then let readers add to them in the comments.
24. Ask readers to leave a link to what they're working on. Nothing gets people commenting like an invitation to mention their own project and URL.
25. Review their ebook. Or round up several readers' ebooks and do one post on them all.
26. Offer a forum. Take it beyond the comments and let readers have a virtual coffee klatsch. With dedication, these can become amazing communities.
27. Create a buddy program. Help your readers help each other by providing a place on your site where they can state their support needs and buddy up.
28. Make readers the experts. Ask for their best advice in one post — then, run a compilation of the best responses in another.
29. Ask readers to describe their biggest problems. Do we like to complain? Yes, we do. A post like this also tells you exactly what you should be writing about.
30. Hold a contest with a valuable prize. AppSumo did a great one recently where you could win a MacBook Air.
31. Arrange a meetup at big events such as BlogWorld or SXSW. If you're not getting out to events in your industry, consider making it there. In-person conversations are rare and wonderful these days — and make people feel they've gotten to know you better.
32. Email subscribers who never open your email to find out why. You could learn a lot about how to improve your content.
33. Discover readers' skills — then, trade services with them. Doing a little business together will benefit you both and help you get better acquainted.
34. Give away a consulting package. Do random acts of kindness and sometimes, just help a reader out.
35. Give out a free pass to your next paid class or event. Don't know about you, but nothing makes me feel special like getting a free ticket to something other people are paying for.
36. Create a free ebook for subscribers. Don't stop at one — keep creating interesting new material, so there's a steady stream of extras coming.
37. Do an autoresponder series with useful information. Copyblogger's own Internet Marketing for Smart People course is a great example. Free training courses show your blog has more to offer.
38. Collaborate on a project. Curate your readers' guest posts into an ebook, or have a reader co-host a podcast with you.
39. Invite readers to affiliate sell your products. You may think that seems crass, but in fact some readers will jump at the chance to make money doing what they're already doing — talking up your site to their friends.
40. Introduce them to people who could help them. Playing matchmaker costs you nothing, and shows you really care about helping readers.

NRCC Says Space In Trouble; Internal Poll Numbers Questioned
By Steve Peoples | August 9, 2010 6:26 PM
Rep. Zack Space (D) is "in an extremely vulnerable position" in Ohio's 18th district, according to internal polling released this afternoon by the National Republican Campaign Committee.
The survey conducted by the Republican pollster On Message, Inc., shows Space in a statistical dead heat with his challenger, state Sen. Bob Gibbs. Each candidate earned the support of 43 percent of 400 voters polled from the 18th district Aug. 3 and 4.
"Bob Gibbs is generating momentum across eastern Ohio. I think this shows that Zack Space's loyal support for Nancy Pelosi and her job-killing agenda is costing him," said NRCC spokesman Tory Mazzola. "As a result, we've seen this race move from an uphill fight to a real tossup."
Asked whether they think "Zack Space has earned another term as our U.S. Congressman," 48 percent of respondents said "no," compared to 38 who said "yes," and 15 percent didn't know.
Additionally, 62 percent said they opposed "President Obama's program to improve our environment by capping carbon emissions."
Space voted for a global climate change bill that called for a cap-and-trade system to reduce greenhouse gases.
Space also initially voted in favor of the House version of the health care overhaul bill, but then voted against the final Senate-passed version that was signed into law. The health care measure, Obama's signature issue, is deeply unpopular in the district the poll found.
The Space campaign questioned the validity of the GOP poll, saying it doesn't match their own internal numbers.
"It just seems like they're bringing the silly season in early. Usually they wait until October for something like this," said Space spokesman Andrew Ricci. "It doeesn't square with what we know. And we're not going to be head faked into releasing anything on our side."
Space holds a massive fundraising advantage over Gibbs -- $1.27 million compared to nearly $210,000 -- but the On Message polling memo suggests that won't be a problem:
"The voters are looking to send a clear message and place a check and balance to the Obama-Pelosi agenda," writes the pollster. "Bob Gibbs is likely to win this race even if he is significantly outspent. In fact, Gibbs is likely to win even if he is outspent two or three to one."
CQ-Roll Call rates this race Leans Democratic. Check out the ratings for other House contests with our election map.
Whew! for a second there I thought the environmental nuts were now saying that we were polluting space!
Space...the final frontier...
I know I'm not voting for him! I get pamphlets a couple times a week from Space. At the bottom it always says paid for by taxpayers. He's campaigning with or money!

You're now going through several Big Sky Conference scores and predictions after your Eastern Washington Eagles nearly beat WSU, 67-61. Don't ask why defeats excite you but when your mid-major conference team has been mildly successful despite an 0-2 start, you've got to like your chances right?
Hmmm where's that season outlook article and video from the sports information department? There's got to be some nugget in there that shows me that the Eagles are indeed headed to a Big Sky Conference championship. This way you can make fun of Montana for basically being the state where basketball doesn't exist.
Chances are you'll be supporting a .500 at best case team, but you have to give this years squad some support right? Because they look very promising right now. Is this what its like to be going completely insane while supporting your favorite college program?
Yep, You just ordered a Benny Valentine replica jersey.

Send a "REAL" Revival29 Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, 30 by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus." 31 And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
Last night, I was at the Harvest Rock "Revival Convergence Conference" Heidi Baker spoke, her love, that is the love of God in her is unexplainable, unearthly, supernatural, and I pray, as this woman has been an example to give of herself entirely to love this dying world, to love it to wholeness, that we would have that same heart, to give completely of ourselves to the work of God to bring light in this dark dark world, she spoke of receiving the cup of "suffering and joy" and how in the last month in Mozambique Africa a flood destroyed 360 of their churches, then missiles came and bombed their mission base (yet no one, no pastors or children were hurt) but 300 villagers surrounding were killed, how they supernaturally feed 50,000 orphans a day and how over 100,000 souls came to Christ this last month through the power of the Holy Spirit and compassion in the midst of destruction. I'm in humble awe of what God can do through a person, souled out as a laid down lover. Heidi prayed for me at the end, my heart broke, it cried out, like I have not cried out in a long time. I saw a vision of the nations while lying on the altar, Africa and China dying, destroyed by the works of the Devil, I saw North America, a generation sleeping, deceived and powerless, I cried out for justice, I pray, I pray, I pray, I pray we would pray until something happens to change the evil in this world, that we would ask God to answer our prayers and make us His hands and feet in this dying world that it would find Jesus, the only hope of the world, Christ in me the hope of glory.
Father, look upon the enemies threats, send "real" revival in this generation. We need it so bad Lord, my heart breaks each time I look at the spiritual destitution of our society, lives that are hurt, broken, dying, destroyed, hopeless and left for ruin. People who turn to broken cisterns, looking for living water, but only finding a empty cup of nothing, God where is Your power in our day? God break North America free from the slavery the enemy has trapped us in, break us free from religion, a form of truth but with no power. I look at the hearts that our dead, I look at the compromise, I look at the pain, I look at the powerlessness and lack of compassion of my own heart, break me God, break me for the poor, the broken, the orphan and widow, give me love that overflows, love that knows no fear, love that breaks me from "me", love that doesn't care what others think, or how I will feel, what will happen to me, love that will leave me in selfless abandon to the power for which You have called me. Father, raise up a chosen generation, don't let this generation go to waste, don't pass this generation by, don't let us be like the Israelites in the wilderness who wandered for forty years, not entering into the promise, but Lord AWAKEN this generation, awaken it from it's slumber and selfishness, fear and turmoil, awaken us from dead religion, empty rituals, Christian hypocrisy, selfish living, and move us into action, the nations need it, Africa needs it, the children there are dying, they are starving, they are faced with injustice daily, tormented, raped and treated as animals, little children are dying in Africa of AIDS and massacre, genocide, GOD release JUSTICE! SEND ME, SEND US, let us not wallow in our little suburbs, and office rooms, dormitories, and church services, but let us GO and help those in need, the dying of this world. Lord, release justice to the orphan and widow in China, the millions of little girls who are being aborted, left abandoned, prostituted for no reason but a hell bent edict to destroy their precious lives, oh God have mercy, millions are dying around the world and what am I doing? what are we doing? Break us out of selfish living, throw us out of our church services and into the streets of Los Angeles where there are homeless, without anything, those without love, God send Your children to be that love, to be your church in the streets, to be the answer to their prayers, God awaken this generation, how can we worship you on Sunday when there are people dying on our very streets, in our very backyards, oh God, have mercy upon your church, have mercy on our lack of love, have mercy on me for I have not obeyed You, God send "real" revival, forgive us for abandoning and rejecting Your Holy Spirit Father in our generation, we don't honor You Holy Spirit, we have rejected Your gifts, reduced you to a thought, a theology, a empty religion with no power, a meaningless discourse, oh Holy Spirit come back to our generation, pour out Your Spirit like the days of old, make us desperate for Your Spirit, truly desperate, to tarry in prayer until You are poured out like Pentecost once again, pour out Your Spirit upon Los Angeles California again, across this nation, release a 3rd great awakening, a real revival, not just programs, outreaches and meetings, and conferences, release the REAL THING, change hearts, transform lives and cities and this nation once again, come like a FLOOD, come like You promised in Joel 2:28 once again, forgive us for wounding You Holy Spirit, not cherishing You or befriending You, honoring You as the Third person of the Godhead, forgive me for ignoring You so many times in my life, oh God, pour out Your Spirit, glorify Your Son Jesus, glorify Him through thy Holy Spirit in this hour, I'm tired of doing it on my own, I can't do it without You, it is Your work, all I can do is pray and obey You, I am here asking for reality Lord, asking for reality in this hour, I look around me, the enemy is attacking Your generation, locking down your children in bondage, in sin, in shame, in sickness, in apathy, in lifelessness, in pornography "destroy the porn industry", send revival to the porn industry, save them all, deliver your sons and daughters who are bound to this sin of pornography, also save the homosexual community, sweep them all into your loving Kingdom, send revival to Hollywood, revive every person in this modern day Babylon, fill it with the wonder and awe of God, fill it with the entertainment that only can come from Your perfect glory, we need a real revival, stretch out Your mighty right hand and once again show Your power, send forth signs, wonders and miracles at the name of Your Holy Servant Jesus! Deliver the sick, the demon possessed, the poor and the downtrodden, fill our hearts with boldness, raise up a remnant, do it for real God, oh God have mercy, send a real revival to this desolate land that is crying out for living water. Oh generation, awaken, God is our only answer! in Jesus precious, most beautiful and wonderful name, have mercy son of David. Make the wrong things right, I won't stop crying out till this happens. Amen.

At the beginning of each year it is strongly recommended that you have a Parent Meeting to share with parents what they can expect from the after-school program and what the after-school program expects from them. This is the time you can let parents know what your program offers, how time is scheduled, your policy around homework, how much time students must spend in the program (this varies widely across age groups), what the expectation is around behavior, how you will communicate with the parent, and an overview of the calendar for the year. If you are working with elementary and middle school students in California, there are legislative guidelines around balanced programming, early release and mandated program components. Share those with the parent.
This Parent Meeting will set the tone for the year. You are working in partnership not only with the school day but with the parents to support the success of each young person in your program. Having an informational meeting will help everyone be on the same page. If you have a Parent Handbook for your program, the Parent Meeting is the time to pass it out. Some programs make attendance at the parent meeting one of the criteria for acceptance into the program. Have this Parent Meeting several times to ensure that all parents have a chance to attend. Schedule an evening, morning, and early afternoon meeting and give parents plenty of advanced notice.
Not so usual celebrations… August 12th is Middle Child's Day. Of course, if you are an only child or have only one brother or sister, this day is meaningless to you, but if you happen to be the "child in the middle" you will appreciate a special day at least once a year. Much has been written about the middle child and the challenges that they face. Unlike the oldest child who is the first and receives much fan fare beginning at birth, and the youngest child who has a contingency of older siblings to look out for them, the middle child (I suppose in a family of 7 children there are technically 5 middle children, and 1 really middle child) is caught in the middle between the oldest (the more responsible driven child) and the youngest (the child with more advantages simply based on location in the family order). So, if you are a middle child, or you know one, celebrate the day. You might want to consider watching reruns of the TV program who honors this child—Malcolm in the Middle.
Activities for kids… Have students make a list of things that can be found in the middle—lunch meat or other sandwich filling, Wednesday, 1/2 time in many games, 30 minutes after an hour begins, the creamy filling inside a donut or Twinkie, the Equator or the International Date Line or the Prime Meridian, and so on. After brainstorming a giant list and recording on a group memory, have students create questions or clues for each "middle", and then play Jeopardy or Password.

Moto Voice updated with support for original Moto X and current Droid lineup
Motorola confirmed earlier this month that the new software features found on the Moto X (2014) would be made available to existing Motorola users as long as the hardware permitted. Today that process began with Moto Voice.
An update to Moto Voice — the app formerly known as Touchless Control — is now rolling out to the original Moto X as well as the Droid Ultra, Droid Maxx and Droid Mini. Here's the changelog that popped up on my original Moto X:
- Support for Moto 360. When Moto 360 is active, only your watch will respond to your voice.
- Supported on: Droid Ultra, Droid Mini, Droid Maxx, Moto X (1st generation)
- Compatible only with Android 4.4 KitKat
Yeah, there doesn't really appear to be anything new for owners of existing Motorola devices in this update. This is likely just laying the groundwork for new Moto Voice features to hit existing devices in the future. That may be kind of a bummer to Droid and first gen Moto X users, but hey, at least you know that you're in the process of getting some new goodies.

The official meeting of Speakers/Presidents of the Visegrád Group Parliaments took place on 2nd March 2018 in Budapest. The meeting was attended upon the invitation of Kövér László, Speaker of the Hungarian National Assembly by Marek Kuchciński, Marshal of the Sejm and Stanisław Karczewski, Marshal of the Senate of the Republic of Poland, Milan Štěch, President of the Senate and Radek Vondráček, President of the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic and by Andrej Danko, Speaker of the National Council of the Slovak Republic. The main topics of the meeting included topics such as the assessment of the V4 Hungarian presidency and the reinforcement of the Visegrád Group parliamentary cooperation. László Kövér, the Speaker of the Hungarian National Assembly explained that the official meeting of the Speakers was preceded by an informal meeting of the Speakers, a conference of experts and researchers, as well as the meetings of several standing committees, such as the European affairs, foreign affairs, family affairs, economics, agriculture and defence committees, which all ended with the unanimous adoption of closing documents reflecting shared Visegrád interests. Speaking at the conference, László Kövér highlighted that the topics discussed at the committee meetings – such as the future of the European Union, the EU and the NATO integration of the Western Balkans, the amendment of the postings directive, the next multiannual financial framework, the issue of overcoming demographic challenges, the significance of family policy the reform of the common agricultural policy, the elimination of double standards in food quality, the management of migration related issues and the opportunities for defence cooperation – not only represented joint interests and values of the V4 countries, but were issues of prominent importance for the future and the reinforcement of the entire European continent. The Hungarian Speaker informed his partners that the cooperation between the Visegrád country parliaments has never been as intensive as it was during the period of the Hungarian presidency. He emphasized: the V4 parliamentary meetings and the conclusions adopted there have further cemented the parliamentary relations between the Visegrád countries. He also emphasized the significance of the V4 joint action in defence of European values. Among these he highlighted the enforcement of the subsidiarity principle, as well as the protection of the achievements of European integration such as cohesion policy, the single market built on the four freedoms, the common agricultural policy as well as the common foreign and security policy. He considered it important that Visegrád country parliaments are participating for the first time in an EU twinning program aimed at the integration support for the Moldovan parliament. László Kövér pointed out that a more intensive application of the yellow card procedure, as well as the use of the red card for plans encroaching on their interests should be the tools to strengthen the role of national parliaments in EU legislative processes.
This was the first time that a joint conference of V4 Speakers/Presidents and the Parliamentary Committees participating in the parliamentary programs of the Presidency was organized on the side line of the official meeting of the Speakers. Speaking at the conference, Péter Szijjártó, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade emphasized that the Visegrád cooperation is the closest and most efficient form of cooperation in the European Union. The V4 has become a renowned brand, which captures the attention of the entire European political elite as well as the media. Its voice is heard, and its economic potential makes it a significant actor in shaping European processes. He also spoke about the palpable enlargement fatigue in the EU and in this respect about the necessity integrating the Western Balkans region. He considered energy security to be the most important issue for the near future. He highlighted the role of the V4 countries in representing the Christian traditions and identity of our countries, while he also specially emphasized the importance of a single voice of national parliaments on issues of substance in European life.
After the committee representatives – Richárd Hörcsik, Zsolt Németh, Gabriella Selmeczi, Erik Bánki, Szilárd Németh chairpersons and László L. Simon the deputy chairman of his committee – briefly outlined the results of their committee meetings, the participating Czech and Polish representatives were also given the floor. After this, the Speakers/Presidents signed a Joint Statement in the presence of the press in which they emphasized the right of the Visegrád countries and national parliaments to contribute constructively to the debate on the future of Europe. They agreed that the Visegrád countries are interested in shaping an efficient and more citizen friendly European Union built on a community of strong and successful states. They pointed out that problems stemming from outside of the European Union, such as migration and the refugee crisis, need to be managed in their places of origin. László Kövér informed his partners that he will – in his capacity as the Chairman of the V4 Hungarian Presidency parliamentary cooperation – send the joint statement to the Speakers of national parliaments of the European Union and the leaders of the European Union institutions.
The joint conference of V4 Speakers/Presidents and the standing committees participating in the parliamentary programs on 2nd March 2018 concluded the series of official events organized under the auspices of the parliamentary dimension of the Visegrád Group Hungarian presidency. The V4 presidency will be handed over to the National Council of the Slovak Republic at an informal meeting of Speakers to be organized in June.
Budapest was the venue for the first Meeting of the Presidents and Speakers of V4 Parliaments during the Hungarian V4 Presidency. At the invitation of László Kövér, the Meeting was attended by Stanisław Karczewski, Marshal of the Polish Senate, Andrej Danko, Speaker of the Slovak National Council, Milan Štěch, President of the Czech Senate, and Radek Vondráček, Speaker of the newly formed Czech House of Representatives (Marek Kuchciński, Marshal of the Polish Sejm attended the gala dinner hosted in the Royal Palace of Gödöllő on the previous evening). As the Meeting began, László Kövér, Speaker of the Hungarian National Assembly welcomed his partners and thanked the participants for the successful joint implementation of the initiatives introduced by the Polish Presidency. He presented the goals and the programs planned for the Hungarian Presidency. At the Meeting, the Presidents and Speakers of Parliaments discussed potential ways to strengthen the representation of national parliaments in the EU's institutional structure, and introduced ideas concerning possibilities for the enlargement of the European Union. László Kövér emphasized: the Hungarian Presidency wishes to continue the practice of regular consultations for Presidents and Speakers of Parliaments. The Formal Meeting of Presidents and Speakers will take place on 1st-2nd March 2018, and it is complemented by the meeting of the Committees on European Affairs (September 2017), the meeting of the Committees on Foreign Affairs, the meeting of the Committees on Social Welfare (December 2017), and the meeting of the Economic, Agricultural and Defence Committees (February 2018) of the different parliamentary chambers. In the framework for the cooperation of V4 Parliaments, the Hungarian National Assembly – beyond the meetings of committees – will also organise a working seminar and a conference in the first half of 2018, involving the representatives of academia and civil society. The agendas for the V4 Parliamentary Committee meetings will feature questions related to V4 cooperation and EU policy, while the working seminar and the conference are intended to discuss issues related to the European Union and the future of Europe. László Kövér proposed - as one of the topics for discussion at the working seminar and the conference - an exchange of ideas on the foundations for European values and consequently to adopt of a common stance against the persecutions of Christians. He pointed out: the Hungarian Presidency wishes to achieve that the V4 cooperation – as a brand – should appear in different policies in a positive way, putting forth constructive proposals. László Kövér also said that regular coordination among parliaments, the strengthening of their cooperation and a common stance adopted by the V4 on issues where the V4 position can be expressed internally within the EU and in the EU's external relations as well are of fundamental importance. He highlighted that the changes having occurred across Europe in recent years necessitate the establishment of a V4 parliamentary rapid reaction group for the subsidiarity check of EU legislative proposals. The Speaker of the National Assembly asked his partners to support his proposal, who agreed to set up such a group at the level of the apparatus. The V4 Subsidiarity Group – with the appropriate political mandate and supervision – could play a decisive role in the development of the relations with EU institutions, especially in ensuring the flow of information. It could also play a role in following up on the activities of the task force established by President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker on November 14th, dedicated to dealing with Subsidiarity, Proportionality and "Doing Less More Efficiently" method. With the rapid reaction group, the V4 could give impetus to the identification and launching of the - currently as yet unformalised - green card initiative, intended to strengthen the active role of national parliaments – the Hungarian Speaker emphasized. When discussing the possibilities for the enlargement of the EU, he pointed out: the facilitation and acceleration of the European and Euro-Atlantic integration process of the West Balkan region is a question of strategic and security-policy importance for the whole of the European Union. The V4 together - but also at the level of its member states - wishes to be an engine for enlargement – he added. Hungary encourages the establishment of a predictable schedule for the EU accession of Serbia and Montenegro, so that Macedonia and Albania could receive a date for the start of their accession talks already next year, and would also like to allow Bosnia-Hercegovina and Kosovo to see reachable goals in their integration process. He referred to the fact that Hungary has for long been a traditional and committed supporter of practical cooperation and cross-border infrastructural projects in the EU's Eastern Partnership. Hungary agrees with the differentiated approach concerning Eastern Partnership policy and supports the approximation of countries able and willing to implement the reforms dictated by European integration. Referring to Ukraine's new law on education, he, however, emphasized: the violation or any restriction of the acquired rights of minorities directly contradicts the requirements of "Europeanism", thus Hungary – until the point when the restrictions introduced by the new law on education end – cannot support Ukraine's political ambitions.
The Czech, Polish and Slovak Presidents and Speakers agreed with the proposals and points put forth by László Kövér and expressed their support for them.

Going on the basis as we have that we combine sporting performance, with popularity on our site and then Field Hockey girl Rocio Sanchez Moccia comes in at 23rd spot. The Argentine was part of a team that not only finished third on the World but won the South American Championships in 2014. That's a good year in our books. Since first appearing on our pages on the 10th of September Rocio has been a popular girl on HWiS, and combined with her successes put her firmly in the top 25 of the year.
Missing out on the World Cup Final didn't stop the girl from smiling, and the diminutive star will be hoping to go better in the current Champions Trophy.
Rocio's original page and gallery are here: Rocio Sanchez Moccia 1
Here are three of our favourite Rocio images


text: Here is another card I finished up this weekend for the 100in100 challenge. I had this image from Stampin' Up! Still Life Stems stamped, cut and matted on Really Rust, so all I had to do was color it with Prismacolor Pencils. I used a scrap of Stampin' Up!

Central opens flagship Krabi resort
In time for this year's high season travel period, Central Krabi Bay Resort will celebrate their official opening in November.Recognized as the flagship for the group, this is no "walk in the park" for a new resort given the market position of Central Samui Beach Resort, not to mention the regal and world renowned, Sofitel Central Hua Hin Resort, both of which have reigned supreme for several years.
But, innovation in design, quality of workmanship and a pioneering attitude towards the highest levels in guest satisfaction have already pre-determined destiny.
True resort living was the cornerstone of design. Guest accommodations start at a very roomy 72 sq. meters, offering everyone delightful ocean vistas from specious terraces that are best described as outdoor living and dining rooms.
Location, location, location, it's an old cliché but in the case of Central Krabi Bay Resort is very apt. The resort benefits from a totally exclusive environment with 500 meters of private sand beach, but also enjoy easy access to the main resort town of Ao Nang via complimentary shuttle boat service or an illuminated walkway around the headland.
Central Krabi Bay Resort boasts 2 swimming pools, 4 restaurants, lounge bar and night bar, signature Centara Spa, marine and PADI dive centre, fitness centre and professionally managed Kids Club and activity centre.

Hi Quadriderm contains a strong steroid which is not recommended for peri anal area. Do not self medicate without diagnosis of the condition. Perianal itching could be due to intestinal worms, intertrigo or lichen sclerosus. You better consult a qualified Dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment before you land up with side effects of that cream you are using.

WASHINGTON, DC -- Some critics have claimed that most of President Obama's jobs "saved or created" by the hundreds of billions in stimulus money were fiction. If so, they may soon be a useful fiction for taxpayers. In an internal memo received by The Hell Gazette, the IRS is considering letting taxpayers claim dependents using the same guidelines the White House provided to determine jobs "creation" recently. The issue has been quietly discussed within the revenue department since the White House released the new jobs numbers on Oct. 29, 2009.
The memo outlines the following rules that can be utilized for 2009 tax returns.
Raising AllowancesIf children's allowances were increased this year, that can be used to "save or create" dependents. Multiply the number of current dependents on the 2008 tax return by the percentage increase in allowance to determine the number of 2009 dependents.
Salary Increase for Breadwinner
If the breadwinner of the family received a salary increase in 2009, that percentage increase translates into more dependents. If both parents work, the dependents are cumulative.
Part-time Children
The biggest innovation from the memo is the concept of part-time children. Any children that spend part of their time at someone's house can be claimed as "partial" dependents if they consume at least one meal there. This can apply to non-relations, such as the children's friends. Multiply the amount of time they spend there as a percentage of the total hours in a year to determine their dependent contribution to the family.
The memo goes on to state that all new increases are additive and that "partial" dependents - any new dependent less than 1.0, such as 0.6 - are now included in tax returns by multiplying the amount as a percentage of the deduction (See sidebar "What Does All This Mean To Me?"). The White House has declined to comment.

|Frisian Course
|Extended version
by Pyt Kramer
|Ook in Nederlands
Back to: English.htm
about the background of the applied language immersion
method can be found at
This course is the extended form of the course
of seven lessons I had on this place since May 2000.
That course was rather well visited: out of 859 people visiting
page 1 of the English version 121 downloaded all lessons. For the
Dutch version these numbers were 185 and 41 (Yahoo Stats 4th
April 2001).
I also got a number of e-mails encouraging me to complete the course and some gave valuable remarks.
I first added seven new lessons in order to include the 197 most frequent words in Frisian, thus covering 65% of daily speech. In between many other words and forms flew in in order to make good talks; the word index now contains 525 of them. I hope that in this way one will obtain a good starting knowledge of practical speech. A last lesson will treat some special objects.
For all lessons I considerably increased the
number of exercises*, thus giving the user the possibility to
work with the language themselves in order to get more feeling
for it. Already from the first simple lesson on one is urged to
join a talk!
*) There are over 600 exercises in total, more than half of it being "programmed", that is with built-in correction.
For each lesson one may call a seperate word
index showing the newly acquired words with the English
translation in the proper text and possible remarks concerning
more general use.
Also a "growing grammar" is available, where the new words are arranged in a grammatical scheme, resulting in a general "grown grammar" at the end, with a special survey on verb inflection and numbers.
At any time the first appearance of a word or a meaning in the course can be found by the alphabetical index.
Also surveys are available of Frisian spelling and of pronunciation.
During the making of this course I made much
use of the new Frisian-English Dictionary by Anne
Dykstra, Ljouwert 2000 (Fryske Akademy/ Wurdboeken),
and of the Frisian Reference Grammar by Pieter Meijes Tiersma, Ljouwert 1999 (Fryske Akademy/ Taal- en Letterkunde).
My shining example were the on-line courses in Breton.
For the exercises I owe a lot to my experience as a teacher for Dutch as a second language for foreigners.
About the scheme of the course: Starting with a quite simple
text in the first lesson, the level is gradually increased during
the course. In each lesson the student is first subjected to
Frisian speech without written text, after which he is asked a
few questions in order to encourage his enterprise. Then he is
asked to say after a speaker and to play that role in a talk. So
the right pronunciation is exercised without being hampered by
the written text and one may already get a better feeling for the
contents and obtain the ability to answer. This will be more the
case in the later lessons, where the texts are too long to be
well remembered, which forces the user to improvise.
The same is repeated with the written text, where the student is asked to consult the vocabulary of new words and his growing grammar. After that follows a number of exercitions, like translating, understanding, true/ not true, making a good sentence, type the right word, and write and speak. So the student is intensively occupied with each text in order to learn the language in a natural way.
For the sake of clarity, separable verbs have always been written apart, e.g. fierder gean instead of fierdergean.
West Frisian shows small dialectic variation. This course is based on standard Frisian, actually being the language of the central part of the province. Some variations are indicated as SE (south-east), NW (north-west).
When you have any further remarks, then please do not hesitate
to write.
That applies also for technical problems.
4th of June 2001, Pyt Kramer
|How do you pronounce Fryslân?
Since a few years Fryslân is the official name of the former province Friesland. As a consequence you hear many dignitaries using this name and that can only be applauded.
More's the pity often a failure is made in pronouncing this name and that is caused by the fact that it can be pronounced in two ways:
1. With a normal n: [Fryslân]
That is the usual pronunciation of the word on itself or in front of vowels, or in front of d, h, n or t.
2. With a nasal â: [Fryslâñ]
The last pronunciation applies only in front of the other consonants: b, f, g, j, k, l, m, ng, p, r, s, v, w, z.

After being checked by the EMT's (and most of the Medically trained people who happened to be in the building and came because of their training....and concern....and we are so very grateful for them all), we were off to the hospital. After running tests etc., he was released to come home with the recommendation to follow up with his physician.
Also, it is a lesson in gratitude. How thankful we are to have had so many individuals come to our aide medically, spiritually, and with love and concern. We were very blessed to have everyone help us. After the EMT's were finished a good neighbor let me know that they had consecrated oil if we needed it. Another offered meals, another offered to contact other family members, others offered to take our 'stuff' home for us, and many said things like "if you need anything, please let us know".

Nonconformists are the mavericks that change the world by exposing new methods of thinking or by developing inventions that result in a more vibrant society. They challenge widely accepted theories and beliefs. These free-thinkers seek the truth like we do here at wisdom4freedom. They see the corruption that has taken over and they hide their eyes like everyone else. Nonconformists take their own path in life. It's hard to find these intriguing characters because they are the outcasts, loners, fringe dwellers and misfits.
A nonconformist is no stranger to ridicule from others. When it comes to "fitting in" some of them decide to say "fuck it!" and quit attempting to pacify society with normalcy.
"Normal" exists as much as "perfection" and both are wastes of time because they aren't unattainable. A nonconformist lives according to their personalized philosophies. You won't find them joining groups that have a standardized set of beliefs in place.
Nonconformists are curious, but they don't accept spoon-fed information. They want to discover the answers for themselves. To find their own theory they explore different avenues in life like: drugs, lifestyles, philosophies, science, and life. That doesn't mean they're "bad people" it means they are curious about the world and aren't scared to experiment with life. They reject nothing without trying it (within reason, of course).
It isn't Cool to Conform.
Conformists are people who adapt, without question, to the usual practices or standards of a group. They believe everything they hear from religion, friends, their parents or the evening news. They don't want to spend the time and effort of finding answers for themselves. Many people don't want to know the truth, they think it is safer to stay with the herd than to stray away.
Kids learn through various cues that being different is not OK. Being different scares children (and some adults) because they were raised to think it's a good thing to fit in. Conformists cringe at the thought of not "fitting in", it makes them nauseous to even think about being ostracized from friends and possibly family.But really why would you want to hang around some assholes who refuse to accept you for who you are… even if they're your parents.
In the past, society punished nonconformists for their free-thinking behaviors.
Thousands of nonconformists were tortured, and even murdered, just for being different. This is especially true for female nonconformists in the Salem witch trials, Marie Curie and Joan of Arc. I'm glad I live in the current time because I would of been torched if I lived back then.Today, people have changed their fear of "the different" to an awe-struck, curiosity. In fact, studies show that people think nonconformists are sexier than their standardized opponents. People are attracted to those that are confident enough to be different from everyone.
Being a nonconformist has its risks, but at least today, you won't be snatched up and burned at the stake. You might just get more dates?
Many famous nonconformists like: Albert Einstein, Salvador Dalí, Nikola Tesla, Bob Dylan and Beck Hansen knew that it's not easy to be different but it massively pays off in the end.
The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche stated that "The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."
Albert Einstein knew this truth from experience when he said "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrity. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary."
Some nonconformists choose to leave society so they avoid the abuse, mockery and ruthless teasing. Not because the conformists (and their attempts to manipulate others into conformity) actually effect them but because they don't need the added stress, distractions and don't feel the need to blend in with society anyways. They're too busy following their dreams. They prefer to watch safely from afar as everyone in society continues to march blindly into ignorance and destruction.
Too much conformity deadens the human spirit
People can eventually forget who they even are if they conform long enough. Conformity may feel safe and cozy but the price you end up paying is living your life for others, not yourself. So, don't expect any group to show you the meaning of your life or to tell you the "correct" way to live. We're all individuals, we shouldn't adopt every thought or belief of a group.
"You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist." – Friedrich Nietzsche
Fortunately, YOU are in complete control of your thoughts and beliefs.
Only your thoughts can change your life so perhaps you should re-think who's thoughts you've adopted as your own? Are you living how you want to live? Where you are spending your time and money and how much stock you are putting into stranger's opinions?
Do what you feel is right. Buy things that you like. Appearing like the others is detrimental to you and an insult to your unique soul.
We are here (on Earth) to find our true talent, our uniqueness and to let it blossom — regardless of anyone's opinion.
