Dos and Don'ts of Search Engine Marketing
If you are seeking to maximize your online presence, search engine marketing (otherwise known as pay-per-click or PPC advertising) can serve as a valuable companion to your search engine optimization efforts. This form of advertising consists of bidding on certain keywords in order to win ad placement at the top or sides of search results. Because they are placed in prominent locations around the search results, these ads allow you to grab the attention of many potential customers. However, creating an effective search engine marketing campaign requires a thoughtful strategy and adherence to a few dos and don'ts.
Do conduct keyword research.
Since search engine marketing consists of bidding on keywords in order to get your ad placed with relevant search results, you will need to bid on the most relevant keywords for your business. The best way to choose these keywords is to conduct keyword research. In many ways, this research will be similar to that done for search engine optimization.
For instance, you can use tools such as Google Analytics or SEM Rush to find out which keywords are already driving people to your site, and which ones might work best for your company. The Google AdWords Planner can also help you choose keywords. In addition, you should think through the search terms that your target audience might use when searching for products and services like yours. If you choose the right keywords, you can create a campaign that reaches people interested in what your business offers.
Don't use broad keywords.
While your keyword research might turn up some broad search terms for your industry, you should avoid these in favor of terms that address specific aspects of your business. For instance, the keyword "jewelry" is far less preferable to a more specific term such as "conflict-free diamond jewelry."
There are two reasons for avoiding broad keywords. The first is that these keywords tend to come with high levels of competition. Because so many businesses deal with broad terms (such as "jewelry"), it is virtually impossible to succeed at a search engine marketing campaign that is focused on those terms.
The second reason is that broad keywords are likely to attract high levels of irrelevant traffic to your site. For instance, many people looking for "jewelry" may not be interested in conflict-free diamond jewelry. This means that you will end up paying for numerous click throughs that do not convert into paying customers at your site. Instead, focus on specific, multi-word search terms that have a greater chance of attracting visitors interested in what your business has to offer.
Do engage in geotargeting.
Geotargeting, also known as local PPC, is a search engine marketing tactic that limits the areas where your ad appears. For instance, if you geotarget Richmond, VA, your ads will appear to people within that area. For local businesses, geotargeting is an easy way to eliminate irrelevant traffic and, therefore, to maximize their budgets. For larger businesses, geotargeting can also save money by allowing you to adjust your bids based on how your ads perform and by allowing you to target specific regions within your larger area of influence.
When geotargeting, there are a few things to keep in mind. The first is to set a radius around your target area to make sure your ads target the areas your business serves. The second is to specifically exclude areas your business does not serve. The third is to set AdWords to only show your ads to people in your target area and not to people who are searching for material related to your target area (i.e. you want to target people in Richmond, not people looking for information about Richmond).
Don't forget to create landing pages for your keywords.
Your search engine marketing ad will drive people to your website. However, it is what they see once they get there that will determine whether or not they stay. If they encounter a landing page that does not match the search term that drove them there, they are not likely to stay, and you are not likely to make any money from the click through. As a result, each search term you use in your PPC (or SEO) campaign should link to a landing page specifically designed for that keyword. By doing so, you increase the chances that visitors will find your landing pages to be relevant and engaging.

Do conduct A/B testing.
Your search engine marketing campaign should always include testing and tracking in order to determine exactly which ads, keywords, and ad/landing page combinations return the best results. Without this kind of careful tracking, you will not be able to maximize your budget for your campaign. While there are a number of ways to test your search engine marketing, one of the most basic and important is A/B testing.
A/B testing involves creating two ads (or ad/landing page combinations), running them both, and seeing which one performs better. You then keep the ad that is performing the best and replace the other ad with a new ad. You then test these two ads together to see which one performs the best. Over time, you should be able to determine the optimal ads for each keyword you are targeting.
Do stay on top of industry changes.
Finally, search engine marketing, like search engine optimization and web design, is an ever-changing field. In order to succeed, you must stay on top of industry changes. The best way to do so is to hire a search engine marketing service that can lend you the skill and expertise you need to succeed with PPC. By hiring this company, while also conducting keyword research, avoiding broad keywords, engaging in geotargeting, and conducting A/B testing, you can maximize the performance of your next search engine marketing campaign.

Dear Sprout,
What a month! Half of the first year is over and I just can't believe it went by so fast. In many ways I am thankful for this since it was something I was pretty terrified of while pregnant. So here we are at six months.
We spent Father's Day in Bakersfield with both of your grandpas:
There was a lot of teething, which, for the most part, you did not handle as joyfully as you did in the past months:
The teething has produced six teeth:
We hung out with cousin Avory quite a bit:
(Avory is teething too, so us mamas had our hands full while your Papa was away on a camping trip)
A few weeks ago I decided to ignore my intuition and go with the crowd. Everyone I knew that had a baby about the same time as you were born had been trying food. I knew you were not ready, but ignored my own advice given just a few weeks prior to my sister and decided that you "needed" to be starting to try food. Over a two day period I forced you to try oatmeal that your sister was having, rice we were having with dinner one night and avocado. You hated it. Gagged on it. Your tongue thrust reflex was still clearly in place. You weren't even sitting up yet. I knew you weren't ready and yet I did not listen to what I knew and went with what everyone else was doing. I felt so dumb afterwards.
I talked to our pediatrician about it at your appointment this week. She said food wasn't a big deal and that clearly you are thriving on just my milk alone. (Have I mentioned how much I love your pediatrician?)
I've also been doing some reading on the subject. It seems grains aren't that great a first food in some circles. A friend (one of the ones already feeding solids) mentioned this to me a few weeks ago and I was honestly shocked that she gave egg yolks as a first food to her baby.
Then I read Real Food for Mother and Baby by Nina Planck (I read her first book a few months ago) and it all made sense. Since their true first food is milk, baby's digestive systems are designed to mostly break down protein and fat. So meat, eggs, and yogurt are better first foods according to this theory. I think I am understandably still very wary of the eggs and cow milk products though.
Planck also advocates a baby lead transition to eating solid foods where you basically put the food in front of them and let them feed themselves. No mashing. No spoon feeding. I have to say I pretty much was already on board with this idea. After all the eating troubles I've had with your sister, I am just so far beyond trying to shove mashed up food into your mouth with one of those teeny baby spoons. Your pediatrician likes this idea too.
Whatever we're having, you have a little. If you put it in your mouth, no big deal. If you don't put it in your mouth, no big deal. When you are ready, you will be ready.
This morning I decided to try again. For breakfast I made an open faced egg sandwich and grilled sausages for your papa and I and oatmeal for your sister. I put a spoonful of her oatmeal on your tray and a slice of sausage.
At first you were not too sure about the sausage you managed to stick in your mouth:
But then you warmed up to the idea:
You also threw quite a bit of it on the floor and your sister stole some bites.
So anyway, that about sums this month up. We love you little boy, you are such a joy and make our family so complete. I can't imagine our lives without you.

text: October 2015 – MicroBiz for Windows Security Refresher by kevin kogler | Oct 28, 2015 | Newsletters | 0 comments MicroBiz for Windows Security Refresher October 2015 Given the all the recent press on credit card data breaches at major retailers (Target,Lands End, etc) data security remains a top priority of retailers of all sizes. In light of this, we decided to provide a 'refresher' on security best practices using MicroBiz for Windows. Tip #1: Back-Up MicroBiz Often While there are several methods to backing up your MicroBiz data, the recommended choice is to run the internal MicroBiz backup program. This is found at MANAGEMENT | CUSTOMIZE | GLOBAL SETTINGS. Make sure you know where your Backup Directory is pointing to as well. When the backup is complete this is where you will find your MicroBiz Data. The backup process will actually create a TEMPBAK and ZIPBACK folder. The Zipback folder is exactly what it sounds like. All your backup files zipped up into a uniquely named backup. (i.e.: BIZBAK01.ZIP ) This method when done daily, will keep up to 30 days of backups before overwriting a previously created zip file. The Tempbak folder or directory contains just the files themselves unzipped from the last time the backup process was run. Remember to give us a call before starting the installation or upgrade. Tip #2: No Retention of Credit Card Data Versions of MicroBiz for Windows earlier than version 12.5 have the ability to retain credit card data. Versions 12.5 and later became PCI compliant by removing the ability to retain credit card in the system. So, to avoid any exposure to a release of stored card data, please make sure you are running a version of MicroBiz that is 12.5 or later. Tip #3: Secure Usernames and Passwords Another recommendation to add security to MicroBiz is to add usernames and passwords for all employees who are using MicroBiz. This can be done through: "Management" – "Add/Edit Password." You will need to use the "Add" button to add a new user. Enter in the login name and security number. Note that Level 0 is for higher security users (managers) and Level 99 is for lower security users (employees). You will want to create at least one administrator username with security set to 0, meaning they can have access to every function in the program. Make sure you remember your administrator username and password, as MicroBiz Support will not know this information. When you have all employees set up, click on the "Save" button to save your changes. Tip #4: Maintain Adequate Security Levels We also recommend that you evaluate your security levels on a regular basis. This can be done through: "Management" – "Edit Security Level." You will see a list of all of the available functions in MicroBiz. The number for these functions will need to be changed according to the level you have set for your employees in "Add/Edit Password." It is recommended that you make sure that "Edit Security" and "Add/Edit Password" are both set to level 0 so that only the administrator can make changes to security. Tip #5: Review Your Transaction Settings Other functions for transaction-level security can be found in "Management" – "Customize" – "Transaction Settings" – "Security" tab. 1) Validate Clerk's Initials against employee file? – If this option is checked, MicroBiz will cross-check the initials in "Management" – "Add/Edit Password" with "Management" – "Employee Control." This option would be recommended if you use the "Time Clock" or "Commission" features in MicroBiz. 2) Carry Security Level Through Initial Sign-on? – If this option is checked, MicroBiz will only prompt you ONCE for username and password when you enter MicroBiz. Based on the security level of the user logged in, MicroBiz will only allow access to functions associated with that user. 3) Always Require Customer at F9 Invoice? – If this option is checked, you MUST have a "F8-Cust" loaded to the Work Screen before completing a sale. The below "A." and "B." options will require a "F8-Cust" loaded to the Work Screen based on whether you tender using the "Credit" or Debit" options. 4) Split Add/Edit Security to Add and Edit – If this option is checked, two new security levels will be added in "Edit Security Level" for "Add Product" and "Edit Product." By default, the security levels will be set to 0 (highest security). This is a useful option if you want different security levels for both editing and adding products. Tip #6: Reduce PCI Exposure with Integrated EMV Compliant Payment Processing In the retail management software market, 'integrated payment processing' is defined as a having your credit/debit card processing service tightly integrated with your retail point of sale (POS) system. MicroBiz's EMV compliant integrated payments solution through OpenEdge uses PCI compliant credit card terminals that securely encrypt credit card data as the card is read by the terminal (swipe, dip, contactless). The encrypted card data is then directly passed to a secure hosted payment gateway maintained by our payment gateway provider – so that unencrypted card data is never transmitted through or retained by your POS system. As a result, your MicroBiz POS system will be compliant with PCI security standards, which mandate that businesses safely encrypt and store PIN numbers, CVV2 numbers and magnetic stripe data. In addition to reducing financial liability from a breach of credit card data, integrated payment processing can help you reduce costs and improve efficiency. If you currently use a payment processing solution that is not integrated with your store POS system, it may be worth it to re-evaluate the hidden costs of operational inefficiencies of your current set-up and research you new options to see if you can save time and money. Integrated EMV Processing Options with MicroBiz The Offer: Through the end of this year, any MicroBiz for Windows user that opens a new merchant account with Global Payments through its OpenEdge subsidiary will receive a free Ingenico iPP320 EMV payment terminal. These terminals generally sell for $250 to $350!The Device: The iPP320 is a compact, lightweight and stylish payment terminal that plugs directly into a POS system for instant installation and easy integration. The iPP320 accepts all forms of electronic payment, including contactless, EMV, and mobile (NFC). The unit is fully EMV and PCI PTS V2 and V3 certified and features a large, backlit keypad and crisp LCD display to make PIN entry and option selection easy. It supports end-to-end encryption technologies to protect sensitive cardholder data throughout the entire transaction. Interested? We suggest contacting OpenEdge as soon as possible, as there is currently a backlog given the October 1st deadline. If you do not currently process through Global Payments using OpenEdge or XCharge, you will need to open a merchant account through OpenEdge. Certain terms and conditions apply to the free terminal offering. Please contact OpenEdge at [email protected]. When submitting a request to OpenEdge, please indicate that you are a MicroBiz user and include your: – Company Name – Contact Name – Address – City, State, Zip – Phone Number and Email Debunking EMV Payment Myths A lot has been written about the ongoing transition from magnetic stripe to chip cards, and in spite of best efforts to communicate "just the facts," a few misunderstandings have surfaced. In our discussion with our customers on payment options, we have heard a few 'myths' about EMV requirements and the liability to merchants. We have tried to debunk these EMV myths below. Myth #1. Anyone who accepts card-present transactions must upgrade to chip technology. There is no mandate forcing businesses accepting in-person (or card-present) transactions to adopt chip enabled terminals and other technology. However, there is a risk. If you accept a chip card transaction (by swiping the magnetic stripe on the back of a chip card), and the transaction turns out to be fraudulent, you will be liable for all costs and fines associated with the transaction. The October 1st Liability Shift transferred liability from credit card issuers to the party that is least chip enabled in the event of a fraudulent chip card transaction. In most cases this is the retailer with the magnetic stripe reader. Myth #2. If I didn't upgrade to a chip card terminal by the October 1st liability shift deadline, I won't be able to accept card transactions. Not true. The liability shift deadline did not render all non-chip-enabled terminals inoperable. Your non-chip-enabled terminal still works and you can accept card transactions with it, as long as you are comfortable assuming the added risk. Myth #3. Transitioning to chip cards doesn't reduce fraud. The fact is, EMV has been a tremendous success in preventing fraud around the world. Wherever EMV is implemented comprehensively, fraud is reduced. Regularly published fraud statistics from many national banking and regulatory authorities France, UL and Canada prove the point. EMV reduces counterfeit and lost and stolen fraud in card-present POS applications, and provides strong, dynamic cardholder authentication in card-not present (CNP) scenarios. Myth #4. EMV is not secure enough. As a matter of fact, EMV is based on strong cryptography and elaborate key management; a fundamental EMV principle is to digitally sign payment data to ensure transaction integrity. As opposed to magnetic stripe technology, a chip is extremely difficult to copy, spoof or crack. Using an EMV card with a PIN verification makes it even more secure. Although EMV has been heavily scrutinized by criminals and the academics, there have been no reported real-life, in-market breaks of chip card technology. Myth #5: EMV is already outdated and of no use in a world moving to mobile and contactless payments. Not true. Ever since the first EMV implementation nearly a decade ago, EMV specifications have been continuously monitored by EMVCo and other chip card stakeholders and updated to meet the changing needs of the payment industry. And, most mobile and contactless payments are based on EMV specifications. Myth #6: The business case for upgrading to EMV in the U.S. is not positive; the benefits do not outweigh the costs. False. The cost of fraud in the U.S. continues to rise, not only the direct cost of lost goods and services, but the additional costs associated with protecting against fraud and cleaning up after an incident. For example, in the wake of recent well-known data breaches, millions of cards had to be reissued, and customer service costs for issuers and merchants increased. The costs of issuing new chip cards and payment terminals is much lower than it was five years ago. In a regulated environment, these fraud savings will be passed on to end user merchants over time. So the fact is that is economically positive for both processors and retail businesses to make the switch.

New York Mental Hygiene Law 9.39(a) provides for emergency mental health evaluations for "any person alleged to have a mental illness for which immediate observation, care, and treatment in a hospital is appropriate and which is likely to result in serious harm to himself or others. 'Likelihood to result in serious harm' as used in this article shall mean... a substantial risk of physical harm to other persons as manifested by homicidal or other violent behavior by which others are placed in reasonable fear of serious physical harm."
If, as has been alleged, Donald Trump is suffering from a serious psychiatric disorder, it will be essential for the Electoral College, the U.S. Congress, and the American people to be made aware of that fact as soon as possible, certainly before he can be inaugurated as President of the United States. We therefore request that an emergency mental health evaluation be ordered and conducted at the earliest opportunity.
Order an emergency psychiatric evaluation of Donald Trump
I have seen a few people on television these past few weeks....celebrities, some politicians and a whole bunch of snowflakes, who really need a good evaluation.
It's scary to think about, but this is the first time many of these people have ever lost anything. Overly pampered and neutered to the point of being completely detached from reality itself. Participation awards, internet hug boxes, common core, and reality television 24/7. It scares me to think just how easily these people could be manipulated and made to do whatever.
Ridiculous. He's the maverick man for the necessary job.

Our buddy, Jorlen! So happy to have you at the weyr! Feel free to dismantle anything you like on your own profile page!
Jorlen was born and raised at Ista Hold, the latest in a long line of farmers. From the time he was about 8, he was helping his dad in the fields. The only problem is Jorlen discovered he hates farming and really wanted to do something else and asked to be apprenticed to a craft. Hid dad said no. After his dad made the mistake of leaving his tools unsecured, Jorlen decided they'd look better in all their pieces. The dad was not pleased, though Jorlen kept up the tool assault until his he was finally sent to the smith's to learn how to put things back together or actually make new tools for a change.
Shortly after the tool disassembly commenced, he met Lisyanna, Gwynne, and Q'luin on the beach, got licked by a dragon, smelled like wherry for a day, then became a smith. He was part of the tithe boat (nevermind the unfortunate joke about taking apart the boats that was heard by Lord Sterling) and did the quake dash back to the boats, though he found himself back at the weyr to help with repairs for a short while and returned back to the hold, escorting Lisyanna when the flight broke out.
While helping a Fort rider with getting a special order lined up, he went outside to investigate the Ista invasion and was then drooled on and searched by Sephiroth.
Candidate Questions
1. See above. Only child, no other relatives aside from parents.
2. Closest to Lisyana. Chats with a few of the other candidates like Gunilla and Mika
3. He's intelligent and likes to figure out how things work and to lesser degree put them back together. It would be fun I think to have him come up with something smith wise. I have some OOC ideas, though need to make them a little more inclusive.
4. The question seems to imply how I'm dissatisfied with the char which I'm not. As far as char development, he's beginning to discover girls. A lot can happen with that. He also doesn't always think everything through completely before speaking either. The comment he made about taking boats apart while standing next to Lord Sterling for example.

Aereo Web Streaming Seeks to Bypass Cable
Barry Diller and his IAC outfit are among the backers at the new Aereo venture, which will stream the New York TV stations' signals live to web users for $12 a month–a service that "pries over-the-air broadcast television out of that closed system," as Diller said of cable and satellite operators in the NY Times, and even offers an online DVR.
Aereo plans to expand beyond New York, redistributing broadcast signals to web users–assuming it doesn't run into a legal wall in the process.
Last year, Ivi TV offered a similar service, but was halted by a federal judge after the broadcasters and content providers sued.
According to Brian Stelter at the NY Times, "Aereo says that by setting up antenna arrays, it is wholly different."
As my colleague Todd Spangler put it:
Aereo's service is based on dime-size antennas. In New York, these are housed in giant arrays somewhere in Brooklyn, which receive over-the-air TV signals and transcode them in real time for delivery to Apple iPhones and iPads and other devices, without the need for a set-top box.
The company's legal justification: Each antenna is dedicated to an individual Aereo subscriber, so the service isn't subject to the same retransmission laws that pay-TV operators are.
We shall see how it plays out.

History Will Be Kind (HWBK) and Nestlé have partnered to launch KITKAT Gold, with a high impact integrated communications strategy including key activations in Sydney and Melbourne.
Communications agency, History Will Be Kind (HWBK) and Nestlé have partnered to launch KITKAT Gold, sparking a new kind of gold rush across the nation with a high impact integrated communications strategy including key activations in Sydney and Melbourne.
KITKAT Gold is a limited edition creation featuring crisp wafer fingers covered in a creamy golden white choc for a deliciously caramelised break.
To celebrate its arrival, Nestlé and HWBK launched Australia's first-ever Edible KITKAT Gold Chocolate Wall last week. Built by activation partner, Banter, the giant KITKAT Gold wall popped up in Martin Place, Sydney on 30 August, with thousands of fans flocking down to grab one of 8,000 bars straight from the wall. And those in Melbourne got to enjoy a delicious break when the installation arrived at Southern Cross Station on 3 September, before heading to New Zealand next.
Nestlé Head of marketing confectionery, Anna Stewart, said: "We're thrilled to introduce KITKAT Gold, and excited to be able to delight Aussies with this campaign. The response we've had from consumers and their engagement with our incredible KITKAT Gold wall has been overwhelmingly positive, and we could not have asked for better partners to work with on this."
HWBK founder, Emma-Jane (EJ) Granleese, said the agency was excited to sink their teeth into the KITKAT Gold campaign, and help drive massive demand while bringing the flavour release to life in an exciting new way.
"Working as the PR agency has been a fantastic opportunity for us to demonstrate our ability to harness the power of storytelling across multiple touchpoints, driving conversation and creating cultural currency. A real moment in history for KITKAT."

Hunter numbers in Vermont are declining and the average age of hunters is getting older. At the same time deer are becoming more abundant in some parts of the state as winters become shorter and milder. To keep deer numbers at a level that Vermont's habitat can support, more does will need to be harvested in some regions. Additionally, the current antler point restriction (spikehorn rule) may be having unintended effects on the state's deer and may not be the most effective way to manage for older bucks in some regions.
The Fish & Wildlife Department has proposed significant changes to Vermont's deer hunting regulations to the Fish & Wildlife Board to address these issues. The department spent several years conducting surveys, holding public meetings to gather input on existing regulations from hunters, and analyzing data from the antler point restriction and its effect on antler development in Vermont's deer.
The proposed changes are intended to provide hunters with additional opportunities to hunt antlerless deer to maintain a stable and healthy herd. They continue to manage for older, larger-antlered bucks, but in a way that better reflects regional differences and minimizes potential negative effects. And they are intended to encourage Vermonters to become hunters and to remain hunters.
Buck Age Structure Management
1. One Buck Annual Limit
- Reduces buck harvest rate
- Maintains buck age structure in some WMUs without the need for an antler restriction
2. Regional Antler Point Restriction | View Map

- Increases participation among existing hunters
New Seasons
6. Establish an Antlerless Season | View Calendar
- Four days, Thursday-Sunday, two weeks before rifle season
- Limited to muzzleloader hunters with a lottery antlerless permit
- Helps achieve antlerless harvest objectives
7. Establish a Novice Weekend | View Calendar
- Allows new adult hunters to hunt during youth season for their first year
- Expect 200-250 hunters each year and no impact on the deer harvest
Youth Season
8. Move Youth Season to late October | View Calendar
- Still provides youths the first opportunity with a firearm
- Provides more favorable weather conditions

As one of the top emerging technologies at CES 2014, contextual computing is about to make an impact. So what is contextual computing and how can it benefit you?
Contextual computing – it's so new that you may not have even heard of it. But as one of the top emerging technologies, along with the likes of wearables and big data, many experts are predicting that consumers will be happily opting for this user-friendly and efficient technology in the years ahead.
So what exactly is contextual computing and how can it benefit you?
Contextual computing refers to a computer's ability to change its available options depending on the context of a user's actions.
TechRepublic global editor in chief Jason Hiner coined the term in his pre-CES predictions, but it's also been referred to as 'predictive computing' or 'adaptive computing'. As Hiner explains, contextual or predictive computing, "takes your history and your preferences and your location and triangulates it to present information to you right as you need it, or even before you realise you might need or want it."
Pretty cool huh?
One of the first laptops to feature this exciting new technology is the ThinkPad X1 Carbon with its Adaptive Keyboard. While upon first inspection the ThinkPad X1 Carbon looks like a regular Ultrabook, you'll see that instead of the usual row of function keys, it features a row of illuminated virtual keys instead.
These keys can "rotate" through four different function rows to expose the right utilities for the user, depending on which programs are opened. For example, if you're using Skype, the Adaptive Keyboard will rotate to a control of the speaker, microphone and camera for easy access. Conversely, if you were to open Internet Explorer, it would expose web-browsing controls such as the back and forward keys, reload, home and new tab keys.
To see contextual computing in action, check out thisvideo.
As Lenovo executive Tom Butler says, the point of the new adaptive technology is to "focus on more of a natural user interface or interaction with the device so it's presenting out the right utilities, the right tools for you based on what you do at that time." A user can also manually toggle through the four different function rows by pressing a button, effectively overriding the keyboard's functionality.
In addition to the Adaptive Keyboard, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon also has built-in software technology that sits on top of Windows 8 that can allow you to use certain features of the laptop in completely new ways. For example, you can turn on 'camera gestures' that will allow you to control your music simply by waving your hand in front of the camera, eliminating the need to reach for your volume control, fast-forward, etc. keys.
While still relatively new, the time savings, convenience and efficiency presented by contextual computing is bound to radically change the way people interact with their laptops and other devices – so expect to hear a lot more about contextual computing in 2014 and well into the future.

From Slide Projectors to Touch Screens
May 2, 2011
Frances Nankin, Executive Producer and Editorial Director of Cyberchase, has been developing children's media for 30 years. She is both an educator and a media producer who sees great potential in emerging media platforms to boost kids' learning.
Cooney Center: What excites you about the potential of new technologies to support learning?
Frances Nankin: My first experience with kids' media was when I was a first-grade teacher and there was a slide projector in the library where kids who behaved themselves could watch a presentation about colonial history. Books were the preferred classroom medium for entertaining and educational content. At home, Sesame Street was a quiet phenomenon, revolutionizing the speed at which kids were learning to read, but there wasn't much acknowledgment or discussion in schools about what more could be done with TV as a delivery platform.
Years later, I watched kids in focus groups view early segments of Magic School Bus. I sat behind a two-way mirror with a direct view of the kids' faces. Their eyes wide and mouths open, they were mesmerized, elbowing each other when they knew what was coming next, mouthing responses to Ms. Frizzle's questions. "Informal education" took on new meaning as it became obvious that kids' brains were deeply engaged by what they were seeing and hearing on the TV.
That's old news now. For years, educational media projects have been multi-platform — TV, web and now mobile — and research is showing gratifying results in learning outcomes. A recent three-year study, based on Cyberchase, found that users of Cyberchase media showed significantly greater gains in problem-solving performance than non-users. While working on problem-solving tasks, they used a wider variety of strategies, applied them more effectively, worked well in groups, demonstrated persistence and engaged in top-down planning. (!)
As a media producer and an educator, I'm excited by this emerging "palette," if you will, of software technology and hardware delivery platforms. A mix of these has the potential to boost learning as we find ways to embed these interactive elements into conceptually scaffolded story narrative. The story motivates active learning as it sets up a character or characters with a problem to solve. Kids lose themselves as they engage the problem, using whatever tools they've acquired, adopting new ones as they are presented. Using a touch screen, they even can enter the story as they manipulate layered assets, separating and sorting to think concretely about concepts like operations with numbers, geometry, data analysis, etc. They find out first hand what it is like to be a mathematician, to be a scientist, to be a writer.
We've come a long way from that slide projector!
Are the fields of entertainment or creative media at cross-purposes with education?
I think not, at least no more than television was at cross purposes with education back in the 50s and 60s. The hurdles we face are probably not much different than they were back then either. As producers, we still have much to learn about working with educators and researchers to create effective learning opportunities. We truly have to insist that what we are doing with creative media will have greater impact than what is already in practice. And as educators, we still have much to learn about using "creative media" in the classroom. A large part of emerging educational practice means learning to facilitate, to take a back seat as the learner takes the wheel, and we need to know more about that before we can comfortably adopt.
Frances Nankin is the Executive Producer and Editorial Director of Cyberchase. She is an Emmy award-winning producer and editor with more than 30 years experience developing multiple media educational materials for children and adults. In addition to her work with Cyberchase, she developed the Early Math section of PBS.org/Parents website. Prior to Cyberchase, she was Co-Director of Science Content for The Magic School Bus television series. She has written several science books for kids, including a textbook for Harcourt Science and an Eyes on Nature book for Kidsbooks, was the start-up editor for an American history series of books for kids (Walker and Company), two Scholastic magazines, Search and SuperScience, and was the founding editor of Cobblestone Magazine, the history magazine for kids now in its 31st year of publication.

By DOUG HAIDET
T-G Sports Editor
Ashland University softball coach Sheilah Gulas said the six seniors who helped construct last year's team made up the biggest senior class she's ever coached.
She will enter her 13th season at AU, one year after losing nine lettermen and finishing 29-17 (13-7 Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference), with a whale of a different tale taking the field.
"We have seven of our 15 who have put our uniform on competitively other than the fall," said Gulas, summing up the structure of a 2009 Eagles squad that features half as many seniors (three) and quite a different makeup. "We've got a lot of openings and a lot of good opportunities, so we'll see who's ready to step in."
Ashland, which had been scheduled to begin its season today at the USI Tournament before it was canceled, opens March 7 in Kissimmee, Fla.
With more than half the squad being newcomers -- including six freshmen, senior catcher and Denison transfer Erin Porter and junior infielder Carrie Hosier (from Jefferson State Community College) -- a new look will be one of the big stories.
A new set of strengths will be another.
"Right now, our pitching is definitely an area that I feel is a strength," said Gulas (422-206 at AU), assisted this year by coaches Bill Graham and Dave Leffew. "With (sophomore) Logan (Hursey; 11-9, 2.30 ERA last year) and (junior) Samantha (Hendrix; 7-3, 2.23) being one more year experienced ... and with the addition of (freshman) Emlyn (Knerem), our pitching staff is definitely improved."
Hursey is the lone left-hander in that trio, and matched senior Shannon Gray last year with a team-high 11 mound wins. Gulas said Gray (11-5, 1.94), who had back surgery in the offseason, has been moved to first base, and will be one of the team's critical offensive catalysts after batting .375 last year (home run, six doubles, 10 RBIs).
"Shannon had an outstanding junior season and was definitely an offensive threat for us," Gulas said. "We're hoping that she can step in there and take charge and really be that consistent performer."
"The heart of our order is very much an unknown right now," the coach said. "A lot of the pieces are there, we just have to get the games going so we can put the puzzle together."
Gulas said she also figures Porter, Hursey, senior outfielder Nicole Lenart, junior catcher/third baseman Megan Thompson and freshman third baseman Alyssa Kelley to make up the heart of the order.
Kelley is just one of the promising freshman Gulas is excited about, along with Knerem. Also in the mix will be first-year collegiate players Katie Wills (second base), Jenni Goodrich (outfield), Kayli Gatts (right-handed pitcher) and Brianna Woody (shortstop).
"The freshmen that we started last year definitely made an impact on a team with a bunch of seniors, and they're all so improved," said Gulas, who was starting four freshmen by season's end last spring. "With the (new) freshmen, we've got some nice potential there, and they've got nothing to lose their freshman year."
The coach said bringing Porter and Hosier to the team from other college programs also should be a huge factor.
"Having one more senior and one more junior in our lineup with college experience is critical this year," she said. "I don't know where we'd be without either one of them right now."
"We still are going to be determining what are the actual strengths of this team," Gulas said. "There's some we can kind of identify at this point in time, but there's some unknowns out there, and that's the exciting thing."
The AU infield has plenty of flexibility one season after it led the GLIAC in field percentage (.968). Hosier and Wills likely will man duties at second, Woody could be at short and Thompson and Kelley are in the mix at third base.
The outfield will be more of a certainty, with Lenart in left, sophomore Lyndsey Brandt (.286, 11 stolen bases) patrolling center and 2009 GLIAC Freshman of the Year Erica Miller in right.
Still just a sophomore, Miller will have to play big again from the top of the lineup, where she batted .363 and led AU in hits (57), runs (30), total bases (73) and slugging percentage (.465) last year.
Youth and new faces being the theme, it wouldn't surprise Gulas if Miller was just one of many bright spots.
"A young team that doesn't really know any better," she said, "those have been some of our best teams."

Back in January I quietly replaced here a WordPress installation with a custom blog software. I didn't write anything about it then partly because of laziness and partly because of the fact that the software itself was quite banal.
However one of the advantages of having a custom solution is the ability to implement new features in exactly the way you want them. So recently after implementing support for bilingual content I decided that it's now worth giving it a technical overview.
Let me clarify that this software isn't intended for general consumption. And though it is written in a stand-alone pluggable fashion its feature set is not likely fit most bloggers' needs.
The code is available in a branch at Launchpad. It's not big, just about 860 lines, and in my opinion is quite readable. What's interesting is that bilingual stuff accounts for about 250 lines of those. Anyway the blog itself is so small because many things are extracted in separate libraries:
- pingdjack is used to send and accept pingbacks
- scipio covers OpenID authentication in comments and implements anti-spam pipeline
- subhub implements a personal PSHB hub which allows feed readers to receive and update my posts instantly (though some of them haven't yet catch up... Google Reader, I'm looking at you)
The blog doesn't have much special in it. I've implemented everything I was actually using in WP including some things covered by plugins. This is why nobody has noticed the switching: everything works the same. Except for small bugs that were fixed along the way: typography is no longer applied to code snippets, navigational links don't lose page numbers, etc.
All editing is done in Django admin. The interface is radically simpler than the old WP-style "we-have-the-best-blogging-system-look-how-many-things-we-got" dashboard. The only interesting admin customization is a FilterSpec for fields of type "boolean time". Essentially they are pretty normal
DateTimeField(null=True) that work both as flags and as time values. A typical example is "published" field for an article: while it has None the article is considered a draft, when it gets a specific time value it becomes published.
The hardest thing to implement were feeds. Though Django does support them out of the box it does this not exactly in the way I need it. I plan to write another post about it, there are a couple of things to grumble about :-).
Bilingual internationalization
As the first principle of my bilingual design I decided not to implement an abstract universal support for arbitrary content in multiple languages. This is quite hard to implement and even harder to implement it efficiently. Instead I've just framed my problem into two limited usecases and kept them in mind all the time:
- Current audience of this blog can read Russian and, to a lesser extent, English and should get posts in both languages with a preference for Russian version.
- English speaking audience generally has no use for Russian content, so there should be an English-only version of the blog.
Obviously not all readers fall into these categories but since all the content is anyway available I decided not to complicate neither code nor UI with support for corner cases.
Models that work with bilingual content store it explicitly in separate fields for both languages:
class Article(models.Model):
title_ru = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True)
text_ru = models.TextField(blank=True)
title_en = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True)
text_en = models.TextField(blank=True)
# ...
Granted, it wouldn't be very convenient to work with those fields directly because it would require having conditions all over the code checking which of the fields are available. This is helped as follows.
A model has methods that return content depending on the language passed into them:
class Article(models.Model):
def title(self, language=None):
# return title_ru or title_en
title.needs_language = True
def html(self, language=None):
# format text_ru or text_en
html.needs_language = True
def get_absolute_url(self, language=None):
# generate URL depending on the language
get_absolute_url.needs_language = True
# etc.
I'll explain implementation logic of these methods later. What's interesting now is the attribute "needs_language" that is used by a specialized proxy Translation. Its job is to pass implicitly the language of translation into all methods that require it. The proxy is used then to wrap all bilingual objects before they can be used in Python or templates code to make it possible to write just
{{ article.title }} and have it automatically translated into
article.title(language) call.
class Translation(object):
def __init__(self, obj, language):
super(Translation, self).__init__()
self.obj = obj
self.language = language
def __getattr__(self, name):
attr = getattr(self.obj, name)
if getattr(attr, 'needs_language', None):
attr = curry(attr, self.language)
return attr
To make it possible to "translate" objects (i.e. wrap them in proxies) right in template code I've also made a filter "translate". It is smart enough to accept single objects, flat sequences of objects and even trees represented as nested sequences:
{% with comment.article|translate:language as a %}
{% for cat in article.categories.all|translate:language %}
{% tree object_list|astree:"parent"|translate:language %}
URLs and language selection
Having divided the audience into two categories I needed different URL schemes to address them. I ended up with a simple solution where URLs for English content got "en/" part at the end. In this case Russian content isn't shown at all. Without the "en/" all the content is shown with a preference for Russian version when it's available. As a side effect I've also got working URLs ended with "ru/" which yield only Russian content. But they are not advertised anywhere in UI.
Here is, by the way, where the decision to keep language specific fields inside models instead of having them in separate tables turned out to be good: queries tend to be very simple. For example querying articles available only in English is as simple as filtering them without any additional joins:
Such URLs provide three different values for a language in which a user requests the content: "en", "ru" and None. The content itself also can be available in three variants: in Russian , in English and in both languages (technically there's a fourth variant: when content isn't available in any language but it's not of much practical interest :-) ). Therefore all language-aware methods should return proper content depending on these two parameters.
Logic is not complicated but requires a bit of attention in corner cases. For example method Article.title looks like this:
def title(self, language=None):
if language:
return self.title_en if language == 'en' else self.title_ru
return self.title_ru or self.title_en
In the situation when a caller requests an English title of a purely Russian article it will get an empty string. I decided not to raise any special Exception in this case because this situation is prevented at the application level where objects that don't have required content are filtered out early.
Translation of user interface
All the infrastructure for translating user interface is available in Django's internationalization system. However what I didn't use from it was a middleware that detects language based on user settings. Since I get language from URLs I initialize translation manually in each view function that works with languages:
translation.activate(language or 'ru')
or 'ru' part means that by default the language of user interface is switched to Russian.
Because of the concept of a default language I couldn't use Django's built-in variable LANGUAGE_CODE in templates because it always set to some particular language. Instead I pass my own language variable into templates wherever it's needed.
Some people may point out that repeating all these lines in several views violates DRY (shockingly!). And that's true. But here I deliberately refused the temptation to write some generalized code because I suspect that all the fuss with middleware and context processors just won't worth the benefit.
I named this blog software "Marcus" after Marcus Antonius (orator). This is not that famous general who had affairs with Cleopatra. This one was known by his good memory that allowed him to remember and pronounce in courts thoroughly prepared speeches that still appeared as if he spoke impromptu.
I think that this is the most suitable Ancient Roman name for a blog :-).

Ponytails are indeed the most charismatic of all hairstyles for teenage girls, truly timeless and way too convenient to style up and maintain. And here we have some wonderful ideas, for teenagers, on how to adorn ponytails and make your own distinctive fashion statement using your creativity on clips and elastic bands.
Decorate your hair clips
Your first choice is definitely to step into the accessories department of a fashion store and glance through the assortments to find some exotic clips for your ponytail. However, if you're willing to display a bit of your creativity, you could simply buy a few basic clips and get some hot glue and decoration stuff that you can stick on to the clips to create something unique and spectacular.
If it is holiday season, how about adding a bit of holiday theme to your hairclips, get some holiday motifs such as small bells, reindeer and Santa's, and attach them to your clips either with colored strings or just glue them on to your clips.
To make clips to match with some particular dress, get some beads of the same color as the color of your dress, and glue them in rows on wide basic clips. Also something similar can be done using ribbons, where you just need to apply a little bit of glue onto the clip and wrap the ribbon around it.
Fancy elastic bands
To make these get some strong fiber covered elastic bands and some waterproof adhesive. To make a very basic one, using decorated wool, take a small strand of wool say about 6in. in length. Tie a knot of the wool on the elastic band and wind the wool along the entire length of the elastic band, and you're done.
For a holiday variant, you can hang some tiny holiday decorations onto the basic band that we just made, using twisted festive ribbons. To make a beaded band, just thread a bead on to the wool after say every four or five twists of the woolen thread around the elastic band.
There are lots and lots of things that you can try out, and once you begin with the task you'll soon find that you're becoming more and more imaginative and creative. And while making your own hair accessories can be quite a fun activity, you'll also save a good deal of cash.

NetworkNewsWire Announces Publication Highlighting Revolutionary Solutions in the Telemedicine Market
NEW YORK, NY–(Marketwired – Nov 2, 2017) – NetworkNewsWire ("NNW"), a multifaceted financial news and publishing company, today announces the publication of an editorial featuring Medical Innovation Holdings, Inc. (OTC: MIHI), a client of NNW that owns and operates strategically aligned healthcare service and product companies focused on the delivery of patient care, management services for physician offices, lab services, and pharma; and non-pharma medicines and alternatives to patients and consumers.

"By partnering with rural doctors and Affordable Care Organizations (ACOs), Medical Innovation Holdings (MIHI) has turned the moribund telemedicine business model on its head to provide access to previously inaccessible specialty medical services.
"Employing its unique business-to-business (B2B) and B2C models, MIHI connects virtual health specialty doctors with primary care physicians and their patients, reducing cost while enhancing quality of care. Upon partnership with primary care doctors, MIHI provides the necessary tools for expanded patient care and the opportunity for physicians to expand their businesses. MIHI gives the primary doctor a full tele-cart workstation with comprehensive peripherals. When a patient electronically interfaces with a specialist in the local doctor's office, the specialist has immediate access to multiple diagnostic tests and patient records in order to determine an appropriate course of action based on evidentiary findings.
"MIHI doesn't charge a subscription fee like other telemedicine companies but rather readily accepts insurance, including Medicare, Medicaid and the Veterans Choice Program. The company's mission is being embraced by the medical community. As indication, MIHI recently engaged a new ACO in Florida, and another, in Georgia, is ready to come aboard, opening the door to over 1,000 new doctors."

#19 UConn 76, #11 Syracuse 71, OT
You would think UConn would wear out eventually, or at least Kemba Walker would since he's the entire UConn offense. But they haven't. They won this game (in overtime, no less) and now have the chance tomorrow to become the first Division I team to ever win games on five consecutive days. Kemba Walker scored 33 points on 9-for-18 shooting, and is really putting on one of the best conference tournament performances I've ever seen. He's got a scary combination of confidence and skill right now. One thing that perplexed me in this game was Jim Boeheim's lineup decisions. He decided to go big, which makes no sense. If there's one thing UConn's frontline can do, it's bang bodies in the paint. And Syracuse's offense is best when they can get out and run. Brandon Triche sat out for about 12 straight minutes in the second half, and finished with only four points. I just don't get it. It seems like you'd want to go small against UConn, right?
UConn only went 9-9 in regular season Big East play, but these four straight wins in the Big East tournament have them flying up the bracket. They are up to 11-8 against the RPI Top 50 with a Sagarin ELO_CHESS that will move inside the Top Ten. At this point they're probably looking at a 3 seed. Syracuse finishes 10-5 against the RPI Top 50, and they also finished 12-6 in Big East regular season play. Their Sagarin ELO_CHESS should be right around 10th. Right now I think they're still a 3 seed, though they could fall to a 4.
#5 Duke 87, Maryland 71
Maryland entered this game knowing that they needed a win to keep their at-large hopes alive, and Nolan Smith got knocked out of the game when the margin was only five points, with nearly seven minutes to go. You had to figure Maryland was going to pull the game out at that point. Instead, Duke went on a 22-11 finish and ended up running away with this one. Kyle Singler starred for Duke with 29 points on 10-for-15 shooting, but a lot of credit has to go to Seth Curry for taking over the point when Nolan Smith got knocked out and finishing without a single turnover. And he might have to play point for a while longer, because that Nolan Smith injury didn't look good. We won't know until tomorrow, but I'll be surprised if he plays.
Maryland finished 7-9 in the ACC and 4-13 against the RPI Top 100. You don't even need to know anything else. They're done. As for Duke, they're up to 28-4 and 15-4 against the RPI Top 100. Their RPI is back up to fourth and their Sagarin ELO_CHESS is inside the Top 8. They'd be no worse than a 2 seed if the season ended now, and are still in play for a 1 seed. Duke fans need to root for Texas, Notre Dame and BYU to lose in their conference tournaments, and they need to take care of business and win the ACC tournament.
#1 Kansas 90, Colorado 83
You have to give Colorado credit for fighting as hard as they could to get back in this game. Down by 17 with under 10 minutes to go they didn't give up, and got back within six. In fact, they might have won if Kansas hadn't hit ten straight free throws to end the game, including eight in a row in the final 75 seconds. Alec Burks scored 8 of the last 11 for Colorado and led all scorers with 23 points on 9-for-18 shooting.
Colorado finishes 20-13 and 8-8 against the Big 12 with an 8-10 record against the RPI Top 100. They have wins over Texas, Missouri, Kansas State (three times) and Colorado State, along with bad losses to San Francisco, Oklahoma and Iowa State. Their RPI is 64th and their Sagarin ELO_CHESS should be in the 50-55 range. At the moment I think they're still in the Field of 68, but they're in a precarious situation. If the bubble tightens they could be heading for the NIT. As for Kansas, I think this clinches a 1 seed for them. Even if they lose tomorrow to Texas, and even though they lost head-to-head to Texas, I can't see them falling behind Texas on the S-Curve. In terms of overall resume, Kansas is just clearly better.
