In basic terms, strategic planning can be defined as the process of defining business strategy, or direction, and making decisions on allocating resources (capital and people) to pursue this strategy. In the case of information technology this definition is more aptly described as the process of defining your IT strategy and making decisions on IT investments that support the business strategy. The "business strategy" in this case is your organization's strategic plan. An IT strategic plan therefore becomes a critical factor in successfully achieving the organization's mission and vision. Given this importance, the implications of not having an IT strategy are many, but typically result in the following situations: (1) IT investments are made that do not support organizational goals, (2) systems are not integrated, typically resulting in a duplication of effort, (3) there are no means for setting priorities for projects or resources, (4) projects are evaluated on a financial basis only, and (5) there is the constant disconnect between IT and the user community.
As CIO, you have the primary responsibility for creating, communicating, and implementing a vision that identifies how technology can be used to support these priorities. CIO Magazine's 2008 State of the CIO report found that nearly 60% of CIOs surveyed say long-term strategic thinking and planning is the executive leadership skill most critical in their current role, followed by collaboration and influence (47%), and expertise running IT (39%). This new reality has forced technology departments to operate more as a strategic business partner as opposed to a traditional functional unit. Accordingly, CEO's now look to their CIOs to: (1) ensure that their annual investments in technology are being effectively leveraged to achieve the strategic goals of the business, (2) evaluate and recommend new or existing technologies that reduce costs and offer business value, and (3), ensure that the organization does not overextend its dependence on end-of-life technologies. As a result, the development and implementation of an IT strategic plan is critical. The purpose of this blog is to share experiences and details regarding the "best practices" in bringing this plan to fruition.

Let me start by saying: This box did not disappoint.
- Tide to Go Stain Remover
- Olay Regenerist Tone Perfecting Cream
- Sally Hansen Nail Polish
- EcoTools Pure Complexion Sponge
- Pure Silk Shave Cream
Not Pictured:
- Riley & Grey Wedding Website Voucher
Okay. So I'll just give a quick run-down of all this. Ready? Go!
I did not create a website with Riley & Grey because I already have one, so I "gifted" this to a friend who's getting married. I also have not yet opened the Olay cream because I'm a ginger and spend my summers acquiring freckles (not by choice). So. I thought it may be best to really test this stuff at the end of summer when my face is one large dark freckle.
I'm proud to say I did actually use every other thing in this box, and I LOVE every. single. thing. I am on my second can of Pure Silk because I used this one so fast. Never have I ever been so deeply in love with shaving cream. I actually stopped using it years ago because it didn't seem to be worth the money. Wrong. I just hadn't found the right one. This one keeps my legs smooth for three days before I get any stubble. Homagahhhh. So wonderful. Will definitely be using this the morning of my wedding. Duh. (Not like anyone will see my legs, but I'll know the difference.) True story: I used the #PureSilk the morning I went dress shopping, and when I put on the dress I ended up buying it felt so silky smooth against my legs. Yes please.
|Look at that nasty stubble on the left. Then look at my super smooth leg on the right.
Moving on. I opened up the box as soon as I received it and when I saw the Tide I immediately put it in my purse. The next morning when I got to work I spilled coffee on my shirt and it was the end of the world. Just kidding, it wasn't. Thankfully I remembered the Tide and cleaned it all up! I was very lucky because I get to work so much earlier than everyone else, so by the time they all showed up the spot on my shirt was dry and clean. That's the only negative about this Tide to Go pen -- it leaves a huge wet mark after you use it. But it's worth it. Also, I went out to eat Mexican food last week with friends and one of them spilled salsa down the front of his white shirt. Crisis averted thanks to Tide.
The Sally Hansen nail polish took a while to grow on me (see what I did there?). The night I painted my nails I wasn't too sure about it. It seemed streaky to me, and I wasn't totally on board with the color. The next morning it seemed like the streaks had evened themselves out, and as I went through the day I got tons of compliments on the color. Definitely a polish I'd use again, but probably not often.
Last we have the EcoTools Pure Complexion Facial Sponge. I was a huge fan of EcoTools even before I knew this product existed. I pretty much only buy EcoTools brushes (and one other brand, but that's not important -- if you wanna know just ask me). I was horribly confused when I touched the sponge. Why this doesn't feel spongy at all! Even though it says very clearly on the package that it softens in water... Still. I was all, "You want me to rub this thing all over my face?" Well I did. And it's a good thing, too, because I LOVE IT AND I WILL NEVER USE ANYTHING ELSE. It really did soften in water. I'm the kind of person that has to have something scrubby to wash my face with, otherwise I don't feel like I'm getting all the dirt off. This sponge was just scrubby enough for me to feel it, but it was super smooth and didn't irritate my skin. My skin turns red so easily (and having a fiance with a beard is just awesome for that. Sorry. TMI?), but this little sponge worked wonders. I used a Mary Kay face wash (which they don't even make anymore) and put that on first, then rubbed it in with the sponge. I did use a washcloth to rinse instead of just splashing my face with water, though. I told you -- I need scrubby.
Basically, this box was not a fail.
Here are my star ratings for each product:
5 Stars
-Pure Silk Shaving Cream
-EcoTools Sponge
4 Stars
-Tide to Go Pen
3 Stars
-Sally Hansen Nail Polish
**I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. All opinions are my own.

In the 44th episode of OppenheimerFunds' World Financial Podcast, Brian Levitt and Drew Thornton are joined by Bhavtosh Vajpayee, Senior Research Analyst on the Emerging Markets Equity Team, to discuss the current and future backdrop of the Chinese economy.
Below are a few highlights from the episode:
[2:00] China Tech Giants Aren't Copycats: Bhavtosh clears up the common narrative that China is stealing popular technology from the United States. "There is a feeling that Chinese technology businesses copy intellectual property from U.S. business models, but in many cases, they work very differently," says Vajpayee. That said, China has in some ways followed the U.S. blueprint to grow its economy. With a large population, growing middle class, and increasingly affluent user base, China has quickly scaled new technology in a way similar to how the U.S. did in the past.
[7:00] China Enters Golden Age of Retail: China's growing middle class is not only changing the tech sector, but retail and consumer habits as well. In China, brick and mortar stores were never the preferred way to shop. What happened is the retail sector was established on the back of both physical and online storefronts. This helps explain the high penetration of e-commerce services in China. In addition to an expanding middle class, the retail sector should also get a boost from Chinese Millennials entering their prime spending years.
[16:00] What's Next for Chinese Innovation: "There's no telling where Chinese innovation will go. Right now, the simple answer is everywhere," says Vajpayee. A company like Tencent has averaged about two investments per week over the last 18 months, he explains. The real question is whether each investment will make a real impact or fall flat.
[24:00] Three Areas of Transformation: A lot of attention will be paid to the retail sector, semiconductors, and financial technology in the coming years. Specifically, the blend of online and offline commerce will dominate the story of retail in China. As for semiconductors, China is still playing catch up to other leaders in the space. With ample government support, semiconductors can expand production and design to compete on a global stage. Finally, Chinese fintech should continue to establish deeper penetration in insurance distribution and micro-lending.
For more, listen to Episode 44 of the World Financial Podcast, China Technology: The Nexus of Innovation.

Director: Richard Kern
Year: 1990
Time: 11 mins
Music: Foetus
Eye of Sound: Known to be an autobiographical film, The Evil Cameraman playfully narrates a transition in the life and career of NY cult filmmaker Richard Kern. Shot between 1987 and 1990, the film is divided in two pairs of two segments, each pair depicting a different historical, geographical, social and artistic context in Kern's trajectory. The first two segments, set in a bleak, low-lit past, introduce us to Jap Anne, an emaciated girl possibly to be included in the increasingly popular "barely legal" category, and Ice Queen, a lusciously cheap-looking blonde. Both are mercilessly subjected to the violent whims of this cameraman - none other than Kern himself - who seems to use his camera as a pretext for acting out his SM fantasies rather than the inverse. Though far from shocking by today's standards, these segments have a psychological - rather than scenic - realism that can be disturbing for viewers less tolerant of erotic violence. The last two segments, explicitly set "two years later", present Kern in a different context. Having moved out of the Lower East Side area, Kern abandons his leather-junky looks and virulent environment and moves in into a cleaner, brighter, more bourgeois ambiance. The women Kern is working with (Little Linda and Jacqui O) now look healthier, prettier and certainly more assertive about their right to reject the filmmaker's debauchery: they are, as John Rocco pointed out, "photographic models" - not partners or acquaintances ready to join Kern's previous porn play. As a result, Kern is repeatedly rejected and sent back into a professional or/and voyeuristic position. It could be argued, however, that there are some important continuities as well, and Foetus' soundtrack seems to underscore them. Indeed, the same combination of slow-dance "industrial" syncopated throbbing and controlled noise bleeding (characteristic of this hugely underrated band) permeates all the four segments, together with the SM imagery, suggesting that despite all those changes and the resigned frustration in Kern's face, the cameraman is just as evil as he ever was.

A book that is a collection of constructs, concepts, mental models, lifehacks, and random nuggets of wisdom—all told through infographics, simple designs, and aphorisms.
Writer • Innovator • Researcher
Vector Design • Infographics • Layout • Audio Recording (podcast)
Notepad + pen • Sketch • Illustrator • Photoshop • Concept App • InDesign
The principle inspiration for this project arose from the value of the Major Memorization schema.
This is a way of associating images and ideas to numbers themselves so that when attempting to store/recall a string of numbers, it is easier to simply remember the images and ideas in context than trying to recall the string by rote memorization.
The first step was to design images corresponding to numbers 0-100 in a systematic way. I spent time drafting and illustrating over 130 designs to be used for these images—to be made available as flash cards as well as an infographic.
My hand-drawn sketches of the numbers. Each digit is associated with a sound, to make recall/storage even more systematic. '6' is the 'CH' sound, while '0' is the 'S' sound—so '60' combines to form 'CH'+'S': or 'CHEESE' (vowels don't matter here).
I am in the process of setting up a blog and podcast for Constructs to focus on the production of the book and contents in a more interactive way.
Stay tuned.

I find it difficult to classify Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five. At times it feels like old school science fiction, and at other times an historical account. The structure of Slaughterhouse Five is so unique I have a hard time considering it a book rather than a collection of scenes pasted together. While this book may be confusing to many, there is one fact I do know; Billy Pilgrim has become unstuck in time.

I'm currently attending Querying and Reporting Using SAS Enterprise Guide training at the SAS office in Austin, TX. I'm a veteran at using Enterprise Guide, but SAS has great training courses and you always pick up a lot of worthwhile information when you are lucky enough to attend. One tidbit that was covered yesterday that I think is worth passing on is how to prevent the procedure title from displaying when you create reports in EG.
To remove THE FREQ PROCEDURE (or any procedure used in your project) title from your report, go to Tools –> Options –> Tasks –> Tasks General and uncheck "Include SAS Procedure Titles in Results". This is a global setting, so the titles will not appear in any project's output unless you check the box again.

So I finished my first edit of Kingdom of the Dead. Now the whole thing actually makes sense. I just have to go through it all again and fix awkward sentences, grammar, and add descriptions. Then I will proably have to go through it again. My first, as yet unpublished, novel took 5 edits, and I still need to go through it again to fix grammar problems. So the three or four edits of KotD is actually an improvement.
I have started writing my next novel, with the working title God's War. That is going to have to change, but at least it is better than "book", "story", or "ZombieboOk" which were the working titles of my other three novels.

An effective vaccine must be able to spur robust and specific immune responses in recipients. However, very little is known about the molecular changes that happen immediately after vaccination in humans – most vaccine research has focused on later changes in the immune system, known as the adaptive immune response. Now, VIDD postdoctoral fellow Dr. Erica Andersen-Nissen is working to define early molecular and cellular changes, also known as the innate immune response, that occur after vaccination with candidate HIV vaccines.
"Nobody's really taken a comprehensive approach, with the idea that once you learn something about the innate immune response, then you could correlate it with ensuing adaptive responses," she said.
The human immune system has multiple waves of defense, varying in speed and specificity. The innate immune system responds immediately to a foreign invader, both attacking and sensing the class of pathogen. This early response then triggers the adaptive immune system, which mounts a targeted defense against the specific pathogen. While a successful vaccine must trigger a specific adaptive immune response, so that the body retains a lasting memory of the disease, researchers think how a vaccine triggers the innate immune response is also important.
To learn about the body's early immune responses to vaccines, Andersen-Nissen, who is a fellow in VIDD co-director Dr. Julie McElrath's lab, is looking at changes immediately following vaccination with candidate HIV vaccines from HVTN trials. Specifically, she and her colleagues take samples of whole blood and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC, a purified subset of blood cells) before and during the first few days following vaccination, and assay cellular and molecular changes in these samples.
"We went into it not knowing whether intramuscular vaccination would produce noticeable changes in the blood," Andersen-Nissen said. "We were fortunate to find big responses."
Andersen-Nissen is looking at innate immune responses to several candidate HIV vaccines currently under development in the HVTN. Her first approach was through the HVTN 071 trial, which assayed the early immune responses to the Merck HIV vaccine candidate used in the Step study. Both the Step study and HVTN 071 were halted early when it was shown that the candidate vaccine did not protect against HIV, but the researchers were still able to collect extensive samples from 11 participants in HVTN 071. Even though the Merck vaccine was not effective against HIV, there are still insights to be gained, Andersen-Nissen said.
"The goal is to develop profiles of different classes of vaccines and adjuvants, based on the innate immune responses they trigger," she said. "Then comparing those with licensed vaccines that actually work is vitally important – the ultimate goal being to correlate certain innate immune responses with adaptive immune responses of successful vaccines."
To examine innate immune responses to the Merck vaccine, Andersen-Nissen and colleagues collected samples before vaccination and four to six hours, 24 hours, three days, and one week after vaccination. They first looked at the types of cells present in the blood, and found that both T cells and B cells rapidly exited the bloodstream within 24 hours after vaccination, while levels of certain other immune cells – monocytes and dendritic cells – increased in the circulation in the first few days following vaccination. The researchers found changes in protein levels and gene expression in the blood that signal a "typical" inflammatory response. Compared to before vaccination, they found that 2,000 different genes were turned on or off in PBMC at 24 hours after vaccination.
To compare the effects of different vaccines on the innate immune system, Andersen-Nissen and colleagues looked at the overlap between their data on early gene expression changes induced by the Merck HIV vaccine and data from other researchers on changes induced by the licensed and effective yellow fever vaccine. While gene expression changes occurred more rapidly in response to the HIV vaccine, many genes with increased expression were identical in both data sets. Genes with decreased expression were quite different between the studies. This may mean that there is a "core" of antiviral genes turned on by the innate immune system in response to any viral-vectored vaccine, Andersen-Nissen said.
The findings from HVTN 071 indicate that the majority of changes in the innate immune system happen in the first 24 hours following vaccination. To delve deeper into this rapid immune response and to figure out which innate responses correlate with adaptive immune responses, Andersen-Nissen and VIDD postdoctoral fellow Dr. Antje Heit are working on a new study, HVTN 089, to collect hourly samples in the first day after vaccination. Andersen-Nissen is also looking at the innate immune response to other candidate HIV vaccines tested in the HVTN, and is expanding sampling to sites outside of Seattle. Ultimately, correlating certain early immune responses with the likelihood of vaccine success will give much earlier reads in clinical trials of candidate HIV vaccines, as well as enabling the design of new adjuvants and vaccine vectors to hopefully elicit better protection against HIV.
An effective vaccine must be able to spur robust and specific immune responses in recipients. However, very little is known about the molecular changes that happen immediately after vaccination in humans – most vaccine research has focused on later changes in the immune system, known as the adaptive immune response. Now, VIDD postdoctoral fellow Dr. Erica Andersen-Nissen is working to define early molecular and cellular changes, also known as the innate immune response, that occur after vaccination with candidate HIV vaccines.

Thank you, Dodge County Community, for your support.
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul of Dodge County (SVdP) wishes to thank our community for their support in responding to the two major disasters in Beaver Dam this past spring. The Village Glen tragedy displaced the residents of fifteen apartments, and the Third Street Executive Apartments' fire displaced residents of another fifteen apartments. Because of the generous donations received from the citizens of the Dodge County Community and beyond, we were able to be part of the overall effort to support those impacted by these tragedies.
Your support allowed us to provide immediate housing at local motels, gift cards, clothing, food, personal hygiene needs and child care items. After the immediate needs were addressed, we then assisted with securing replacement housing. Household items, mattresses, and furniture needs where also given as needed. Fund raising efforts furnished direct financial assistance to help cover the many costs associated with the losses suffered. Through direct contact with those that we served, we attempted to offer moral and spiritual support during these difficult times. All monetary donations received, remained in our community and 100% of those donations were used to assist those in need.
To date, our local St. Vincent de Paul Society has provided over $95,000 and over 1000 hour of volunteer service in combined assistance to 52 of our neighbors impacted by these stressful events. While SVdP coordinated the assistance, it was the generous response from our caring community that provided the means to help those in need. We were overwhelmed by your response and are very grateful.
Thank You,
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul of Dodge County.

- adminlongAsked on July 16, 2013 at 02:00 PM
I had a thread running with your developers that is now gone without a trace.
Here's the gist:
I had/have an account called clongjax tied to the email email@example.com.
I created some sub-accounts for my employees to access their web forms without having to use my master account.
The next day, my employees could log in, but no forms.
I tried to log in with clongjax (my account for over a year), and it said my password was wrong, I tried to reset, it said my account nor email did not exist.
After research by your dev team, all my forms were moved under an old account I haven't used in a long time called AdminLong. Appearently there was a programming glitch that caused this.
The other problem was, even though I couldn't log into my old account and it said that it didn't exists, programmers could see the account on your side, but said it was an old account that was a Free Account (which is incorrect as I am an Economy user).
I was able to log into AdminLong and see my forms, however it was also a FreeAccount, and I was about to run out of submissions and space. A developer on your staff verified with Plimus Billing that I was indeed an Economy User and "manually" converted my AdminLong account to an Economy Account. This was supposed to be a temporary fix until the developers could sort out what happened.
I am ok with keeping the AdminLong Account instead of the old clongjax account, I'm not emotionally attached to it or anything, but it is what billing is setup through. That said, even though I can login using AdminLong now, when I go to my Account Page to update billing information and email and such, it's completely blank as if under some kind of administrative hold. None of the buttons on the left side of the page work either. I can create new forms and see the submissions, but I seemed to be locked out of my account page.
Can we please resolve this so we can finally move past this week long debacal? Even though I am frustrated, I am thankful for the help I have received. I wish the other thread had not been deleted. But I will keep a copy of this thread on my local computer in case it "accidently" happens again.
Please fix and please respond.
Thank you,
Chris Long

Hi Chris!
Actually the ticket opened in your other thread is still open and has in fact been assigned to one of our developers and marked as urgent. I believe our developer posted a response in that forum. Please refer to that here: http://www.jotform.com/answers/242525

Thank you Morian, I will continue to use other thread then. When I search for AdminLong under search for the Forum, I get zero results. Strange.
Thanks again.

The mountain you climb may seem only an ant hill to someone else.
Remember that the next time you tell someone: "get over it" – "get on with life" – "it's not that bad."
Anthills are more than they seem and deeper than they appear. Appearance isn't everything.
Do yourself and others a favor and remember that before belittling the efforts of another, their life's experiences, or the choices they make.
One man's anthill is another man's mountain.
Just because you can see over the next rise doesn't mean the person next to you can.
And, simply because you can easily step on, over or around a bump in the path doesn't mean others can.
One man's mountain is another man's anthill.
The mountain you climb, no matter how high…how terrifying…how challenging is just an anthill to some around you.
Look with compassion and see the struggles of others as real, valid, important, and necessary.
And, once you've climbed the heights remember, the way down is just as deep as the way up was high and is filled with struggles and intrigues of its own.
After all, most valleys are little more than inverted mountains.
Life is a struggle for us all. The height of our climb is insignificant for we all are surmounting obstacles as we press forward in daily living.
Anthill or Everest – it doesn't matter which lies before you…either must be scaled. And, you're the only one who can do it. It's better and safer to do so in community with those who support us, acknowledge our journey and applaud our achievements.
What mountain are you climbing? What of the person nearest you?
We all need someone to
- Extend a hand.
- Offer a leg up.
- Provide support.
- Help balance the load.
- Throw a rope.
- Be a counterbalance.
- Belay a line.
- Encourage the next step.
Mountain or anthill? It doesn't matter what name you assign it. It's the mountain you climb and that's what's important.
To all my mountain climbing friends out there – could you give me a hand up? I can't quite reach the next ledge….

BY Charlene M. Shupp Espenshade
WASHINGTON — Rural America is in a "silent crisis," USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack said at the Cosmos Club on Monday. It is a crisis that, if left unchecked, could have consequences far beyond the countryside.
"There is not an appreciation for the role (farmers) play in our economy," Vilsack said.
It is from agriculture that this country was started, where the country's values are rooted, he said, speaking to a national gathering of agricultural journalists.
"It is important to me to have a broad discussion on the fate of rural America," he said. "We have to have our urban and suburban friends understand that their future is linked to what happens on the farm. Everyone has a stake in this."
Vilsack wove in stories of his early days as an attorney representing farmers during the 1980s farm credit crisis. He said that those families impacted his life — the heartbreak, the love of the land and the dedication they have to farming.
Today, the crisis might be of a different form, he said, but now is the time for a call to action.
"But if all we do is focus on what we have done before, only better, it will not be enough," he said. "We have got to do something different."
The statistics show a difficult story. The farming population is rapidly aging. The number of farms is on the decline; 1 million U.S. farms have been lost in the past 50 years.
"If we look at the future of agriculture, greater emphasis needs to be focused on how to get younger people into this business. Because in the future, we may 'age out' of opportunities."
On-farm income is on the decline. The farm accounts for only 9 percent of a farm household's income on average. The rest is from off-farm sources.
"The safety net has to be more than direct payments, more than countercyclical payments, more than loan programs. It also has to include quality jobs in rural America," Vilsack said.
Investments in rural broadband Internet access will help farmers tap into real-time prices for buying and selling goods. It will also allow farmers and rural businesses to expand their reach through online sales.
Renewable energy also is opening up new investment in rural economies. An estimated $95 billion could flow into these economies to meet the nation's renewable energy mandates.
He said that conservation programs should be looked at not only for their primary mission to improve soil and water quality, but also for new income streams, such as hunting, fishing and participation in ecosystem markets.
Vilsack noted that wastewater treatment plants in Ohio are paying farmers to implement conservation practices on farms instead of paying for more expensive plant upgrades.
"That in turn will create opportunities for farm families to keep the farm," he said.
The average farmer has "to work 200 days off the farm to keep the farm," Vilsack said. "But if we want to keep farmers on the land we have to find new income opportunities."
Most importantly, he added, the conversation has to go beyond the countryside and into urban and suburban communities.
"It is important to understand that this is not just about subsidies," Vilsack said, referring to the pending Farm Bill. "
It is about rural America and the survival of rural America."
What happens on the farm is affecting more than the farm family, he said. Rural American communities have lower incomes than their urban and suburban counterparts, and 90 percent of the persistently impoverished counties are rural.
"These people are struggling every day, and they are decent, hardworking folks," Vilsack said.

Here is 5 ways to make 100 dollars fast.
You can use these 5 things to make $100 a day as well. You'll have to spend more time on it but these are proven ways to make 100 dollars quickly.
Here they are:
1. Survey Websites
Survey websites pay you money to fill out surveys. They will pay you a few dollars to 10 dollars or more for each survey you fill out. Surveys that require more time will pay you more money typically.
You'll be told how much money you will be paid or what rewards you'll get for each survey before you begin.
How do you get started? It's straight forward. Sign up for a few survey companies. Once you are signed up, you can begin filling ou
t surveys to make money. The more survey companies you are a part of, the more surveys you can fill out to make money with.
Here are 5 popular survey companies:
2. Sell and/or rent your stuff
You probably have things you don't really need and it kinda just sits around. Like right now, I have a GoPro that I haven't used in about a year. Well I could easily sell my GoPro and make a few hundred dollars.
I could also rent it out. I can let someone borrow it and charge them a fee for it. I would do this by going on Craigslist or Kijiji, and other kinds of free advertising places to put stuff for rent or sale.
A lot of people are very happy to buy used things to save money. You'd be surprised. People buy old clothes, shoes, chairs, video games, you name it. This is one of the fastest ways to make 1oo dollars.
3. Write for others
If you know a language well, especially English, and you are able to write at a decent level, you have an unlimited opportunity to make money. Blogs and websites are always looking for fresh content. They can pay anywhere from $5 to $70 or so for an article.
Obviously, if you're being paid $70 for an article, you will need to be an excellent write and also have strong knowledge of what you're talking about.
However, I find a lot of people expect to be paid about $1 per 100 words at a minimum. And this is for fairly average writing skills.
A good place to sell your writing skills is a website called upwork.
4. Make money on Fiverr
Do you have a skill. Any skill? Fiverr is a place where you can offer your skill for money. $5 to be exact.
You can offer "add on" services to make more money, but the whole idea is for you to perform a "gig" for money.
These gigs can be anything from singing a song in a British accent to proof reading an essay, or doing math homework, or creating a logo.
As long as you have a skill that people would pay money for, you could make money by using your skill.
I would head over to Fiverr to check out the types of gigs people are doing over there. You can see what it's all about. Don't be afraid to sign up as well. You can buy gigs from others are begin creating gigs to make money.
Visit Fiverr here.
5. Become an Uber driver
Did you know Uber drivers make pretty decent money? Especially when you drive people during peak hours, like Friday and Saturday evenings when people are leaving the bars. At this time, Ubers can be 4x more expensive to take, which also means as an Uber driver, you'll be making 4x the amount of money too.
I always chat with my Uber drivers and they're making a minimum of a few hundred dollars each day. If you own a car then you can definitely make 100 dollars a day easily with Uber.
What should you do?
If you have some time on your hands, I would definitely fill out surveys to make money. It's one of the easiest ways to make 100 dollars fast using the internet.
Making money on Fiverr is a little more of a self start up thing, but as long as you have reliable internet and something people are wiling to pay money for, you might surprise yourself by how much money you can make with Fiverr.
If you own a car, being an Uber driver is one of the best ways to make hundreds of dollars daily. You'll need a more recent model vehicle to get started with Uber. A few hours each night to make some extra money isn't bad at all.
Also, writing for others is an awesome way to make extra money each day. Writing is an amazing skill to have and get better at. So if you like writing or want to get good at it, I highly recommend you look into writing for money. People are looking for blog content to be published, guest posts to be written, essays to be written, and so much more.
The best part about the ideas I've given you is that they are for the most part things you can do to make money at your own pace. If you don't really feel like doing surveys or writing today, you don't have to. Sometimes you have a deadline, but generally speaking, you can simply take on less work if you don't feel like working as much or if you want to make a hundred dollars really really fast, then you can take on a lot of work, like filling out a lot of surveys to make money quickly.
Whatever you choose, good luck!

ARKive is a "virtual conservation effort", aiming to preserve photos, videos and audio clips of thousands of creatures, ensuring that available material is gathered and secured for future generations.
This is a well-funded venture, and none of the £4m budget has gone to waste. The resulting website is a truly impressive resource.
The species are organised into two main categories - UK-dwellers and creatures from the rest of the world. They are then divided into further subsections where you can browse types of mammal, bird, plant and even fungi.
Click on, say, the Australian Central Rock Rat, and you will find a detailed description of the animal's habitat, behaviour and eating habits, along with photographs and a video.
Biography references are provided on each page, and these function as links to even more detailed information for those who need it.
It is pleasing that what is at heart a major scientific exercise has been presented in such a user-friendly format, which the layperson will have no trouble exploring or understanding.
Care has been paid to presentation as well as content, and navigating the various critter categories is a simple and uncluttered experience.
Along with an annoying search engine that only returns Latin names, a minor disappointment is the inconsistency where video clips are concerned - for example, the Californian Condor page has no moving pictures, while the Mauritius Kestrel gets five.
But this sort of favouritism, which is surely down to rights and availability issues, can be overlooked when there are plentiful stills on every profile.
Besides, ARKive is not complete yet. When finished, it aims to feature 11,000 animals and plants, and, no doubt, more moving images.
As a bonus, a spin-off site called Planet ARKive provides an interface for kids to access a selection of the information. Again, it looks lavish, but more importantly is excellently designed.

Could genetically modified foods (GMOs) be the solution for world hunger? Although your solution will help feed the world's malnourished people, the fix could potentially cause cancer, increase allergies and terrorize the environment. Would the trade-off be worth it? That's what scientists, doctors and everyday shoppers are asking themselves when it comes to genetically modified organisms, or GMOs. Currently, about 80 percent of food is genetically modified—and researchers are still trying to separate fact from fiction when it comes to health and environmental outcomes.
In the U.S. alone, an estimated 75 percent of processed foods on grocery store shelves contain genetic modifiers. Of American-grown corn, 85 percent is genetically modified, as is 91 percent of soybeans and 88 percent cotton. Is this reason to worry, or do food activists still have much to learn? At their best, GMOs could play a major role in mass producing food sources to meet the needs of starving families worldwide. At their worst? Well, that burger might just end up taking a bite out of you.

There truly is no better way to start your daily commute than an uplifting cycle ride or walk. You arrive at your destination feeling alert, energised and ready to take on the working day. It's a fantastic way of keeping fit, and if you do it regularly you'll save a small fortune, forking out less on petrol and gym fees, and leaving you with more cash to treat yourself.
We interviewed Amy Louise Christopher, a newly converted cycle commuter, about her new commuting habits for our e-magazine Active Commuter:
Amy Louise Christopher
Where do you live?
Grangetown, Cardiff (for the first three months of cycling to work I lived in Thornhill)
Where do you work?
Pacific Business Park, Cardiff
How long have you been cycling to work?
About six and a half months
Do you cycle every journey or sometimes use a different mode of transport?
My everyday journeys are done on my bike but if I am travelling further (e.g. London) I usually travel by coach or train.
How did you get to work before you started cycling?
When I lived in Thornhill I would get the train into town then walk the rest of the way. I used to drive to my previous job, which was a nightmare in rush hour traffic. Cycling into work is a much nicer way to start the day – you arrive feeling refreshed and energised, rather than sluggish and stressed.
What made you make the decision to cycle to work?
My friends who cycle! Plus the financial and fitness benefits.
Was it a difficult change to make? Why?
No, but the wind and rain does make it slightly challenging at times. The trick is to be prepared and always pack a waterproof jacket and trousers that can be worn over whatever you're wearing. Or on the rainy days opt for another type of transport.
How do you dress for commute?
With the exception of waterproofs when it rains, I just wear my normal everyday clothes. I'm quite girly and love wearing dresses and skirts, so I'll sometimes wear leggings underneath. I really don't think that you need to wear cycling gear for shorter journeys, especially if you're cruising at a leisurely pace like I do. My bike is quite girly too and I think it really compliments my dress style.
How long did it take you to get used to commuting by bike?
Quicker than I thought it would as I was cycling 6 miles each way which is a fair distance each day, maybe a few weeks. Initially I was a bit tired after cycling but it is surprising how quickly your fitness picks up. If the weather was particularly bad or I felt tired, I'd sometimes jump on the train for part of my journey. It's good to have the option.
What do you enjoy the most about cycling to work?
The liberated and free feeling you get, plus you have to go to work anyway so getting fit while you do it is a bonus. Now that I live in Grangetown I also cycle down the Taff Trail for part of my journey which is a lovely scenic start to my day!
Any negatives?
What are your three top tips for new cycling commuters?
- Buy a bike that you feel good on as well as it being practical (you would not wear clothes that you do not feel good in so why ride you do not feel good on).
- Invest in good wet weather gear (we live in the UK!).
- Do a dry run of your commute before your first day of cycling to work. This will help you find out any problems you may encounter, such as lots of traffic near a school.
- If you feel particularly unconfident cycling on the roads get cycle training. It's really reasonable, and you can have as many lessons as you need tailored to your level of cycling.

The tax credit drive is going very well! Is your mouse hanging on the fence?
The Kinder/First and Second/Third grade teams have each brought in enough tax credit donations to purchase their first COW computer. The 4th/5th grade team and the Resource department have enough to purchase TWO computers for their COW.
Who will be next?
In addition to the reasons parents typically make a tax credit donation: to cover sports fees, to pay for summer prep, for specific programs like art, choir, band and orchestra, and as donations to other specific on-site extracurricular clubs like Garden club and Jump Rope club, we always have at least one major goal for our tax credit donations.
This year, we are trying to enhance our access to technology in our classrooms by purchasing COWS (computers on wheels) that can move from classroom to classroom. There are so many things we can do with technology – imagine if every child in the class had a laptop or notebook to work on?
WOW! That would be amazing.
This year, we are asking you to make your tax credit donation to the COW fund. Grade levels have teamed up together to try to raise enough money to purchase a COW (computer on wheels) to share among their two grade levels.
A COW unit with enough computers for every student in a class costs about $11,000 so every time a grade level team accumulates $500 in donations for the COW program, they have collected enough to add one more computer to their COW. If every family contributed just $100 in tax credit donations to the COW fund, we would have almost enough to buy a COW for each team!
Ask your child's teacher how he or she would use student laptops or notebooks in the classroom. You might be surprised at all of the amazing ways they will benefit our children.
If you ha?ve already made a tax credit donation this year for ANY purpose, look for your name on one of the orange mice hanging on the fence.

At Keystone we do things differently, and have since we first opened our doors in 1996. This different way means focusing on you, our customer, and building RVs that are much more than great floor plans and prices. It starts with innovative products that are built tough, and doesn't stop there. It's our commitment to provide a better ownership experience. We understand that when you put your hard earned money down, you expect your RV to deliver as promised. That's why "Building Adventures for the Long Haul" is more than just a slogan here at Keystone; it is our number one mission each and every day. It's the reason today we are honored to say we have nearly one million Keystone owners out on the open road who we consider family.

Lindsey Graham Steps Up on Climate Change
It looks like Lindsey Graham is really trying to fashion a compromise on climate change legislation. There are a couple other Republican senators who have made encouraging noises, but none of them -- think Alaska's Lisa Murkowski -- have much of a record of standing up to pressure from the base. And I remember full well how many more Republicans there were on health-care reform before the base turned its attention to the issue.
But Graham does have a history of taking heterodox stands and sticking to them, so his willingness to take point is encouraging. It's interesting, incidentally, that each issue seems to have its own Republican defector. Susan Collins brokered the compromise on stimulus. Olympia Snowe is health-care reform. Richard Lugar tends to make deals on foreign policy. And Lindsey Graham is stepping up to the plate on global warming. You almost wonder if it's planned, as it means no single Republican moderate has to take the heat on everything.
Unfortunately, you're not going to be able to get by on climate change with a sole Republican supporter. Too many Democrats hail from coal states. This coalition will have to be more like the coalition that passed the Civil Rights Act, when Northern Republicans provided the majority with the votes that the Southern Democrats attempted to withhold.

But the bulk of what you can do on global warming involves revenues. Making polluters pay for the costs of the damage and risk they inflict environmentally on others. And it raises revenues. So it seems to fit the qualifications for reconcilliation beautifully. That means just 51 votes required (or 50 plus the V.P. to break the tie?)
Are you saying we can't get 50 Democrats?

Again, will democrats vote to obstruct democratic initiatives? if they do, break out the pitchforks and torches.
They can vote no, but they can't oppose cloture on their peril and we better make it perilous for the conservadems!

Richard Serlin is right.
Look, the easiest way to do cap-and-trade is to sweeten it with a tax rebate. The rebate need only be temporary if you're worried about long-term deficits, but it would enable the government to (a) do something about climate change -- in fact, the most economically efficient thing that the government can do -- and (b), cover themselves politically.
Posted by: davestickler | October 15, 2009 8:00 PM | Report abuse
Are you serious? Matt Taibbi killed cap and trade good and dead once his Goldman Sachs article spelled out GS's plans to make much money on cap and trade. Any Member of Congress stupid enough to vote for cap and trade in this political climate will have a rough time defending their vote. A carbon tax transfer (cutting the payroll tax dollar for dollar raised) is the smarter play.
"The new carbon credit market is a virtual repeat of the commodities-market casino that's been kind to Goldman, except it has one delicious new wrinkle: If the plan goes forward as expected, the rise in prices will be government-mandated. Goldman won't even have to rig the game. It will be rigged in advance."

I think Lindsey Graham is full of.....stuff.
I dont buy for a second that this guy is going to be there when this bill steps onto center stage. Somehow, it will suddenly have veered off into some radical left wing plan that he just cant possibly support. This pathetic need for people in the Democratic party to get approval from various Republicans to govern this country is driving me nuts.
Posted by: zeppelin003 | October 16, 2009 5:52 AM | Report abuse
The critical issue for cap and trade (or a carbon tax, or whatever) is to keep it clean. It needs to treat all carbon dioxide and methane molecules equally regardless of source, and include *all* sources. No free pass for big ag, no federally funded "research" for coal while oil refineries have to pay real money to make real reductions, etc.
If it's nothing more than a vehicle for transferring money from unfavored institutions to more favored ones, it (a) won't work and (b) won't be politically viable.

It may also have a little to do with age. Lindsay Graham is going to have to lkive with the consequnces of climate change longer than, say, John McCain. Same with Lisa Murkowski. Although one can largely avoid the consequences of failure on health care reform if one has enough money, climate change is trickier, especially if one hails from a coastal state.
