If you are working in the kind of job which requires you to be standing on your feet for long periods of time without any rest then it is very important for you to know just how to take care of yourself and wearing the best shoes for standing all day is one of these ways. Irrespective of whether you are a chef, waiter, teacher, doctor, nurse, etc. you will be expected to be on your feet for long periods of time and wearing uncomfortable shoes may cause a lot of problems for you including back pain. You wouldn't want that now would you? Now here are a few tips to help you stay on your feet without having to worry about any pain:
There is no denying the fact that our bodies require water in order to keep functioning properly. Dehydration can lead to a lot of painful problems like muscle cramps. This is why it is essential for you to drink lots of water when you are on your feet for long parts of the day.
Stretching and exercise
A few stretches in the beginning of the day can really help your muscles loosen up and this will ensure you don't get injured later on. Remaining active is a great way for you to strengthen your muscles too. It gives you the additional stamina you will need to get through the day. Here are a few stretches for you to consider:
- Sitting: Lift your foot and rotate it clockwise twenty times and then counter-clockwise. Repeat with your other foot. You could also spread your toes while barefoot using your fingers. Don't forget to wash your hands after.
- Standing: Barefoot, push your toes to the bottom and press them against the floor. You could also push your toes upwards and press your feet towards the floor.
It is essential that you take regular breaks to ensure your muscles get sufficient rest. A short break will help ensure you have the energy required to get you through the day without too much trouble. A break could be a great time to go through some of the stretching exercises mentioned above.
The right footwear
You need to get the right shoes for standing all day if you want to keep your feet pain free. When buying shoes for work, always keep your comfort in mind. Sometimes, professionals choose to buy fashionable shoes but these aren't really comfortable and can cause health problems for them in the long run. There are quite a few terrific shoes which are meant especially for specific jobs. Find the ones which are meant for your job and buy them right away.
Nurses and doctors
Clogs, like the ever so popular Crocs, have become very popular among the healthcare professional. But even though they are so popular, they aren't exactly the best choice for these professionals. While Crocs may just be the most popular clog manufacturer in the world, the clogs from companies like Dansko and Orthofeet are much more comfortable and should be preferred over Crocs any day.
If you are a chef you are going to need a shoe that isn't just comfortable but also waterproof, protective and slip resistant. Many chefs believe they can wear the same shoes that are worn by doctors and nurses and while this certainly is better than wearing regular shoes, it isn't the best thing for them. Just finding shoes which are a good fit isn't the only criteria here. The shoes need to be comfortable while also having the benefits mentioned above. They can't just be the first pair of shoes they see in the market.
Teachers are going to spend a lot of time on their feet. They are going to have to do a lot of walking around too. This additional difficulty means that rubber clogs aren't going to be the best choice here. But there are many other shoes which will. Look for teachers shoes online, there is no shortage of choices.
So now that you know what you need to do in order to keep yourself healthy even if your job demands you to stay on your feet for a long period of time, what are you waiting for? Go online and start looking for the perfect shoes for your profession today.

Hello, folks.
I am a graduate of Saint Francis Xavier University in Antigonish Nova Scotia with a Bachelors degree in Business Information Systems, as well as a graduate of the University of Calgary with a bachelors degree in Political Science.
Currently I am studying a masters degree at the University of Athabasca in Information Systems focusing on the relationship between political activism and electronic governance in Africa through the use of mobile devices.

Our customers have been asking about the new lines of White Cat for some time now.
Miami, FL (PRWEB) February 22, 2013
White Cat Cigars come in packs of 10. For those who are very fond of these quick smokes, it is possible to get boxes that feature multiple packs inside. On the website, there are 20 count and 50 count options available. Depending upon how long it takes a person to smoke a pack, these are advantageous to buy in bulk. At the low prices offered by TrueTobacco.com that's exactly what many do.
"Our customers have been asking about the new lines of White Cat for some time now," says Nick Gordon, the site's General Manager. "We are happy to finally meet the needs of our customers by giving them access to these newer lines."
Now available on the TrueTobacco.com website, there are natural, sweet, black and grape flavors. These are cigarillo shaped and made by GT Dominicana. The cigars are machine made and feature a convenient foil wrapper to lock in the freshness of the tobacco. In doing so, customers do not need a humidor in order to maintain the quality of the cigar if it isn't being smoked right away.
The White Cat Cigars don't have a long history, as they are still fairly new to the market. That hasn't stopped them from being a quick favorite amongst cigarette and cigar smokers, however. There have been many reviews on YouTube, of people breaking down the cigars, explaining the flavors and showing how it is a surprisingly long smoke in comparison to some of the other cigarillos out there.
True Tobacco is an online retailer that has headquarters in Clearwater, Florida. The company has been able to build up a large customer base with a lot of repeat customers. "We are constantly improving," says Gordon. They use customer feedback to determine how they can improve. Adding the line of White Cat Cigars is just one way that they have recently listened to feedback."
The company's website also has a few components that they stick by. This includes service, purpose, responsibility and timeliness. They achieve all of these through integrity and teamwork. They want to be sure that every customer is satisfied with their purchase and they do this by offering a large variety of cigars and accessories at affordable prices. Promotions are common, too, which allows people to take the opportunity to sample new products or have items shipped to their house without paying any shipping and handling.
Cigars and cigarillos are very unique when compared to each other. While White Cat Cigars say they are cigars, they are smaller and therefore aren't as pungent as what many people think of with a traditional cigar. True Tobacco urges everyone to try a White Cat if they are familiar with other brands such as Backwoods or Dutch Masters. "These don't disappoint," Gordon promises.
This is a line of cigars that has developed a lot of support in a short amount of time. This can be attributed to social media, however the taste of the cigar has a lot to do with it as well.

The average human attention span is now shorter than a goldfish's -- seriously. A recent Microsoft study found that the average human attention span has fallen from 12 seconds in 2000 (or around the time mobile phones hit the scene) to eight seconds today. In comparison, scientists believe that the goldfish has an attention span of nine seconds.
We are constantly bombarded by texts, tweets, push notifications, ads, Facebook posts, emails and more, and our brains get hooked on all that stimuli. We crave more and more new information, and it can be difficult to pay attention to any one thing for very long. Conversely, it also makes it difficult to hold anyone's attention for very long. This creates a significant challenge for marketers, whose entire job is to cut through the noise and meaningfully engage with consumers.
In today's over-saturated digital world, marketers need smart strategies for making the most of the eight second attention span. This requires including images and visual storytelling tactics that will capture and hold attention before something else does. In fact, this phenomenon has a name -- the "picture superiority effect," whereby concepts presented with visuals or pictures are better learned and more easily and frequently recalled than those without. That's why including an image with your social media posts delivers 180 percent more engagement or 150 percent more retweets. Words alone only have 10 percent recall, but adding a visual element increases retention of the content to 65 percent.
Check out this infographic, produced by Widen Enterprises, about what marketers can do to combine the visual and the story into their content to multiply its reach and conversion rates.

Marula Tree
The Marula is a handsome, spreading tree of wooded savannah, and belongs to the mango (Anacardiaceae) family. It favours sandy soils in the warmer, eastern parts of the continent, where it may grow up to 15 metres in height.
Sagole baobab
This huge baobab tree, known as the Sagole Big Tree, needs to be seen to be believed. It has a trunk diameter of 10,47 metres and has a cavern big enough to shelter several people. Although there are trees, such as the Glencoe Baobab and the Sunland Baobab, which have larger diameters, the Sagole Baobab is the largest overall, standing 22 metres high with a crown diameter of 38,2 metres. While it does split into several trunks higher up, it also maintains the appearance of a single tree.

A fast and easy guide for turning the dreaded performance appraisal into a constructive, collaborative effort.
When not handled correctly, performance appraisals can turn into nerve-wracking confrontations. If employees and managers aren't on the same page about expectations and performance, the working relationship can be seriously harmed. Productive Performance Appraisals gives readers all the easy-to-use tools they need to conduct an effective review -- including sample dialogs, checklists, and forms. The book shows readers how to:
* plan and organize the appraisal session
* set short- and long-term goals

Readers will also find guidance on developing career plans, keeping consistent records, communicating changes in roles, how reviews are used when determining layoffs, and much more.

RIP Olivier Raoux
A victim of cardiac arrest on the island of Mullein, where he had gone to prepare for the filming of "Seigneurs" by Olivier Dahan, the head designer Olivier Raoux died Tuesday, March 23, 2011 at age 49. Raoux was preparing to return to the director of "La Môme", the film that earned him a César in 2008, and a British BAFTA nomination. Previously, he designed sets for numerous plays, including La Vérité si je mens 1 and 2 , Jet Set and "Rire et châtiment". Also in the credits of "Rivières pourpres 2", Olivier Raoux was very busy since the triumph of "La Môme" and had recently worked on "Les Enfants de Trimpelbach" (with the key new appointment to Caesar in 2009), "La Rafle", but the thriller "Proie" (in theaters next July) and the highly anticipated Marsupilami of Alain Chabat.

ESCP Europe > Programmes > Masters (full-time) > Biopharma, Energy, and Sustainability > Master in Energy Management > Research Centre for Energy Management
Few would dispute the assertion that we are entering a new energy era: global demand for oil booms as supplies dwindle; price volatility and geopolitical instability are increasingly common, as are globalisation and market deregulation; and all the while environmental concerns grow. Both collectively and individually these factors call for a significant restructuring of the energy sector to improve efficiency and develop new sustainable energy sources.
The challenge is primarily technological but also managerial. Considering the amount of capital needed to boost energy supplies and promote the necessary technological innovations in a world of high uncertainty, expertise in project management, supply chain, finance, human resource and organisational management are of the utmost importance for decision making and forming policy.
Bringing together the expertise of its faculty and its many external international associates, the objective of the Research Centre for Energy Management (RCEM) at ESCP Europe Business School is to cooperate with, and possibly assist, key industry players to facilitate the integration of managerial and technological skills.
Moreover, thanks to ESCP Europe and RCEM's wide network in the academic and business communities, our views on energy news section offers a comprehensive insight into energy issues.
RCEM's Mission is to build a strong proactive partnership between energy corporations, government agencies, and the academic community, in preparation for a new energy era. This will be achieved through the promotion of rigorous and objective empirical research on issues related to energy management, finance, and policy, in order to support decision-making by both government and industry.
The results of RCEM's research will become available to the public through publications, workshops and conferences, educational programmes and other public outreach activities. Research at RCEM will be enhanced through direct cooperation with government agencies, and academic and industry associates from across the globe.

Library and Information Studies (LIS) is a paradox: a vocational academic subject. People who study it plan to work as practitioners, but those who teach it need to be academics.
Studying librarianship as an academic discipline provides aspirant professionals with a reflective overview of the topic and a good understanding of principles that can be applied across varied situations. It should give graduates the ability to apply critical and analytical thinking to their daily work and make considered decisions as they increasingly take on responsibility. Highly practical skills tend to date quickly and are far better taught on the job than in an academic environment, so it is important that LIS courses provide a reflective and intellectual overview of issues in the profession. Moreover, academic research is a vital contributor to the health of the profession, telling us what is not immediately apparent about our information sources, workplaces and users and what we might expect from them in the future.
And yet it is also immensely important that LIS academics have a sound, practical understanding of the information workplace. How can someone teach the next generation of practitioners, when they have not themselves worked in a practitioner role for five years or more? How can they provide students with the preparation they need for their careers if it is not a career they themselves have undertaken?
This post is not intended to criticise LIS academics. I am a practitioner who worked for her PhD part-time while working full-time and who also teaches as a sessional lecturer on an accredited LIS course. I have nothing but respect for those many full-time academics that combine academic teaching and research with deep involvement in the working community, who find the time to speak at conferences and write articles and books which will have little or no impact on their record as an academic. My criticism is for a system which does not support the development in both directions.
I recently made an unsuccessful application for a full-time lecturer position. I met all the essential criteria, but not all that were desirable. Of course there might be many reasons for my not being shortlisted, not least the impressive pool of early career LIS academics whom I have met in my travels. The criteria I did not meet were around things like applying for grant funding and involvement with wider faculty activities, which is very difficult experience to acquire as a full-time practitioner. I can attest that academic achievement while working full time is extremely difficult. While I have been prepared to put time into writing and submitting articles for peer-review, I have not – as a full-time researcher might have – co-written articles with senior academics for high-impact journals. This is not to suggest that, as an academic, carrying out difficult research whilst in the middle of one's PhD in order to be third-listed in the article credits is an easy option. But it is an almost essential step to academic achievement for an early careers researcher.
I do not blame selection committees for the decisions they make. LIS Department Heads rightly want to be recognised for their academic prestige in the Faculties of Arts, Social Sciences, Technology or Management in which they reside. The Deans of these Faculties need to demonstrate a high level of achievement at the Research Excellence Framework (REF) in research outputs and impacts. Of course they will assess candidates who demonstrate best how they will meet the not inconsiderable challenges facing UK Universities. And practitioner experience does not do this. Anecdotally, I have heard of department heads who have argued for the selection of practitioners with excellent professional records, and who had published in the information trade press, but have been unsuccessful because the candidates had not published sufficiently in high-impact academic journals.
Increasingly stringent demands are made on academics, not just to teach well and carry out research, but to raise funds, recruit students and undertake administrative work. Some have spoken out against what they see as a change in culture and, in particular, an attack on the humanities and social sciences (for example, Marina Warner in the LRB). This affects Library and Information Studies departments and there is evidence that information schools and courses are suffering under these changes. But I think they face further problems. There is no part of the measurement and reward system that compensates harried LIS academics for time and effort spent engaging with the profession. Combining an academic and a practitioner career is not just difficult, but is often perceived negatively by both employers and universities. And making the kind of mid-career move from practice to academia which characterised many of the great Information Studies teachers and researchers of the last fifty years is far, far harder than it once was.
The people who lose out in this situation are, I believe, the students. LIS students are unusual in that their career choice almost guarantees that they will never be high earners and yet they must get into considerable debt in order to acquire their qualification. It is a tribute to their commitment that so many of them are still prepared to undertake post-graduate study under the circumstances. Understandably, many complain about the quality of teaching and support and LIS academics themselves have demonstrated their concern that students are properly equipped for the workplace. My feeling is that if we ask students to acquire £9000 of debt to obtain a LIS MA or MSc, we should guarantee that they will be taught by those with a good understanding of the contemporary workplace. Although academics need to have excellent academic brains and to continue the valuable research the profession needs, a vocational degree requires up-to-date knowledge of the workplace. At present, students only receive this because of the unstinting commitment of certain academics to straddle the worlds of the academic and the practitioner. I don't know how sustainable this is in the changing world of UK Universities. And that can only be bad for the standards of LIS courses and the students who take them.

"When my cat Trixie knows I'm upset or stressed, she very quietly goes into my art room and comes out with a tube of paint in her mouth. She'll press it into my hand and look at me as if to say, "Please paint." She knows that painting always calms me down. And when your cat tells you to paint, how can you say no?"

You received a recall notice. Now what? First, don't ignore the recall notice. It may seem like an inconvenience to have to take your vehicle in to have it fixed. Tossing the notice aside and forgetting about it may seem easier. But the notification was issued for a reason so taking care of it as quickly as possible is important. Making consumers aware of recalls and the resources available to them is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation's mission to increase what they deem unacceptably low recall completion rates. "Recalls are only successful and can only save lives if they end up getting the cars fixed, but we know that 20 percent of vehicles that are recalled – and possibly more than that – go unrepaired," said Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. "This is a safety risk to the drivers of those vehicles and all the people they share the road with, too." Does receiving a recall notice mean that driving your vehicle puts you in immediate and imminent danger? No. But the recall was issued because there is a risk associated with driving your vehicle in its current condition and either the manufacturer, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or both have determined it requires attention. Read the information included in the notification thoroughly. Make sure you … Read More

First-time car buyer's battle of the budget – finance calculators reporting for duty
Creating a budget is easy. Sticking to it is a whole different story. But when you're a first-time car buyer, it's critical to understand how much car you can afford and what an estimated monthly payment could look like. All too often, in the 14 years I've worked in the auto industry, I've seen people buy cars on emotion. They fall in love with something they test drove (or worse, saw on television) and simply MUST have it, regardless of price. Six months later, when they discover giving up "a few things" to make a car payment isn't as easy as they thought it would be, the infatuation with the car quickly loses its luster. Being able to afford a car sounds practical, responsible, maybe even a little boring. But think of it this way – by doing the right thing today, you're building the foundation for buying the dream car of your future. If you've never created a budget before, the task can sound daunting. But luckily, there are tools available to help you, starting with By the Numbers, the budget calculator on ChryslerCapital.com. Simply plug in your monthly net income (your "take-home pay"), along with what you actually spend in each of the six expense categories, to determine how much you can budget for a car payment. Once … Read More
Simple steps to prepare your vehicle for winter
It seems odd, as I look at the temperature gauge that reads 90 degrees, to be writing about how to prepare your vehicle for winter. But it is October and for most, winter is right around the corner. Sometimes the first snow creeps up from out of nowhere. Suddenly we realize the tires might be a little too worn to handle the winter snow. And that brake job we've been meaning to get – well, there's no time like the present. But there's really no reason to rush. With just a little planning, you can be prepared for winter well before the first blanket of white hits the ground. A quick check of the tread should tell you if you need new tires. And call to make that brake appointment now, before you do anything else. If you have a 4WD option on your vehicle and didn't use it over the summer, now is a good time to get that checked out too. While you're at it, don't forget to check the lights, including the hazard warning lights (aka "flashers") to make sure everything is in working order. And when was the last time you ran the heater? My guess is it was probably last winter. You don't want to find out it's not working the first time the temperature … Read More
My first car-buying experience was cringe-worthy
"If I knew then what I know now…" How many times have you heard that? Or worse – SAID that? For the most part, I'm okay with the learning experiences I've had. But if there were one do-over I could have, it would be my first car-buying experience. What did I do wrong? Pretty much everything. For starters, I needed a car. Instead of taking some time to look around, do some research and get some advice from people I trusted, I jumped in with both feet. Then, I opted to get something that would get me from point A to point B for which I could just pay cash. (At the time, that was the equivalent of spending almost every dime of my savings.) One big mistake after another. Huge. Why? Because while it did get me to work and back, I was constantly checking the gas and filling the oil. I could have fixed the car, but it was an expensive repair. I wasn't willing to put a bunch of money into the car. Even if I were, I'd spent my savings purchasing the vehicle so it really wasn't an option. Six months down the road I traded it in on the vehicle I really wanted – one that was in good condition, ran properly and was financed … Read More
Tis the season to… travel
Ahhhh…the holiday travel season. What fun it is! NOT. As with almost every year for the last five years, AAA is projecting near-record travelers to be on the roads again for the 2013 holiday season. "While economic growth has stagnated and consumer confidence has fallen Americans will not be Scrooges when it comes to traveling this year," said AAA Chicago Regional President Brad Roeber. "Of all the travel holidays, the year-end holiday season remains the least volatile as Americans will not let economic conditions dictate their travel plans to celebrate the holidays." With this in mind, you almost have to ask yourself, "Am I ready to hit the road with all these other folks?" I did, and suddenly I found myself mentally going through Dad's checklist of getting the car ready for a road trip. Starting from the ground up: How are the tires? Are they worn? Do you need to check the air? When was the last time you had them rotated? Don't put this one off until the last minute. If you're like me, you might need a couple new tires! Make sure your headlights, turn signals and flashers are all in good working condition and clean. Dirty or dingy lights and signals make them dim and more difficult for other drivers to see. Are you due for … Read More
Staying safe this winter season
Winter weather started early this year and we saw news clips from around the country of vehicles slipping, sliding, spinning, and – in some cases – tumbling into ditches or medians. These aren't pretty sights for anyone. Of course, the best advice, the advice heard most often, is to just stay put, wherever you are (hopefully in the comfort and warmth of your home). But sometimes that's not possible. When staying home isn't an option, taking the time to ensure you pack a few extra items can make a significant difference if something does happen during your travels. And, if you follow Murphy's Law, bad things only happen to the unprepared. Look at taking 15 minutes to toss a few extra items in the car as your "insurance policy" against Murphy's Law. If you're traveling a long way or staying for a few days, you've probably already got additional clothing packed. Either way, extra warm layers are always good. Toss some blankets in the car, if you don't already have some in there—warm ones. Take extra socks, mittens/gloves, hats (stocking caps, if you have them) and scarves—even more than you've already got packed. Granola bars and trail mix are great road trip snacks anyway, but they're even better "in case of emergency" food. Pack extra. And some bottles of water … Read More

Title assignment (internship / master thesis research)
Risk perception and self-reliance regarding large scale events
Veiligheidsregio Twente
Information about organisation
The "Veiligheidsregio Twente" is a regional partnership of the police, fire departments, medical emergency organization in the Region (GHOR) and the fourteen municipalities in Twente. Its main task is to protect all people living, working or staying in Twente from risks, emergencies, disasters and crises.
The assignment
The "Veiligheidsregio Twente" offers various internships for students. These projects relate to the communication with citizens regarding safety and safety issues. Examples are writing texts or messages to inform citizens with respect to safety issues and the measures they can take themselves to reduce the risks. There are also opportunities regarding the evaluation and effectiveness of existing risk communicative practices. Generally speaking, these risk communications aim to increase risk awareness, promote self-reliance, and to increase the public's feelings of responsibility for the outcomes in case of a negative event.
Currently, the "Veiligheidsregio Twente" would like to gain insight into the risk perception of people who attend large scale events, and the manner in which these people can be motivated to engage in self-reliant behaviour.
The internship is supposed to result in an (advisory) report. This report will function as the starting point of the research for your master's thesis, that will focus on the perceived risks of large scale events and/or interventions to promote self-reliant behaviour.
More information:
Margôt Kuttschreuter
This external internship / master thesis research is intended for master students of PCRS. Are you interested in this assignment? Please send a short motivation (max 200 words) to Margôt Kuttschreuter (email@example.com). After you have had contact with Margot Kuttschreuter about this internship, you can contact the organisation.

Apple has already taken the wraps off watchOS 3, which will debut this spring. But will the next-generation operating system have a new device to put its super fast app-loading times and brand new fitness features to good use?
Apple Watch 2 rumours have been flying since the first watch started shipping last April. We'll stay on top of the latest reports and figure out if they're plausible or just wishful thinking.
What's the latest?
Plausible? Kuo has a solid track record for Apple predictions. Plus, the first-gen Apple Watch was introduced almost two years ago, so it seems about time for Apple to give it an upgrade. Software improvements are coming with watchOS 3 this spring, but the watch needs better internal components to really stand on its own.
September launch?
The rumour: Older reports reaffirm Kuo's prediction that the second-gen Apple Watch is slated for a September launch alongside a brand new iPhone. One comes courtesy of Digitimes, the supply chain sources of which say Apple Watch 2 chips and components are scheduled to ship in Q3 (which is in line with a September launch). The company is also stepping up its Apple Watch orders to an estimated two million a month, which signals that it's expecting to sell more devices. Why would people buy more watches? If there was a brand new version that was far better than the current model.
Plausible? Apple is known to preview major software releases ahead of hardware launches, so it would make sense for Apple Watch 2 to ship with watchOS 3. The sourcing on this report isn't great, but Kuo's prediction backs it up.
Cellular connectivity?
The rumour: According to the Wall Street Journal, Apple Watch 2 will include cellular connectivity and a beefier processor, so apps will load more quickly. That might mean yet another data plan to pay for, but the watch would function on its own instead of being tethered to an iPhone.
Plausible? Yes. Not only is the WSJ a reliable source, but the Apple Watch would be a more compelling buy if it could function on its own untethered to your iPhone. A more powerful processor would also make the instant app-launching that Apple hyped in the watchOS 3 preview possible.
No hardware changes?
The rumour: KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo issued a research note back in April with guidance on the Apple Watch 2, and he noted that the second-gen model will have "limited changes to form factor design". Kuo said he expected internal improvements, which fall in line with the WSJ's report about cellular connectivity and faster processor.
Plausible? Yes. The Apple Watch's design isn't a problem, so it makes sense for Apple to focus on the device's internal shortcomings, rather than giving it a hardware overhaul.
There are a few other features that would make the Apple Watch a more compelling buy, like GPS and longer battery life. I've argued before that the watch needs to take advantage of its position on your wrist to become the ultimate health companion – though I expect that effort will take much longer to come into being.
Apple is also pushing developers to build better apps for the watch, partly by mandating all new watch apps submitted to the App Store run natively on the device. The company is making those native apps a whole lot faster and much more useful with watchOS 3 features like background refreshing, the new app-switching watch Dock and continuous access to all of the watch's sensors.

Why I am Losing Money #Yelpadvertising
About 4 years ago I created a free account on yelp, after they solicited me through online research. In all reality, Yelp's team found my listing on Google and invited me to Join.....So they could sell me advertising. Soon after I created a free account. After some time I became fluent with their system, Downloading pictures of performed Electrical Services. We provided pictures of Heating and Air installations and various other Remodeling Projects that had been completed. After some of the people that found me on yelp started calling Argo Electrical we could see the potential value in a partnership with #Yelp. So as the weeks unfolded, the #Impressions that our listing received was good. So we agreed to enter in an agreement with #Yelpsux.
Well immediately we had a disagreement on the information of my Paid #Listing. So I tired to convey the message that I was unhappy. At one point I was told by my account manager that if I didn't Like what they were doing, I could pay them $600 to cancel.
At this point I explained to them that they had not met the terms of the contract. I made the decision that the #ElectricianinCummingGA needed to try to continue this advertising venture. After several months I began to realize that competitors ads were being placed on my page. That's right Electricians in Cumming GA were being placed on my page where I had paid for an advertisement. Normally I wouldn't complain, however I paid extra $$$ To prevent viewers from seeing other competitors on my page.
Much to my dismay as I began tracking my Web Exposure through Their site, after I reached a certain number of impressions every month they #Impeded my visibility on their site. SO even though there were only 4 #Electricians in Cumming GA on their site, I couldn't be found...I was livid
I will continue to add fuel to this discussion.If your interested in hearing this discussion call me @ 770.596.1437 or email me @ email@example.com

How Does a Hybrid Tribunal for Iraq and Afghanistan Sound?
Colum Lynch reports today at FP.com that the United States is pushing for the creation of a hybrid international criminal tribunal for Syria by… the UN General Assembly:
[P]eople familiar with the matter say that the United States is already engaged in informal discussions with foreign governments over a plan to seek a mandate from the U.N. General Assembly to establish such a court, which would be comprised of Syrian, regional, and international judges, lawyers, and prosecutors. The two likeliest homes for the tribunal are Jordan and Turkey, these people said.
The plan currently under consideration is for the U.N. General Assembly to adopt a resolution inviting one of Syria's neighbors, probably Jordan or Turkey, to work with the U.N. Secretary General to establish a so-called hybrid court, comprised of local, international, and Syrian prosecutors and judges. The court would be funded by voluntary contributions from governments that support the effort.
Lynch notes that a hybrid tribunal for Syria would be a first for the UNGA, because — unlike the Special Court for Sierra Leone and the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia — it would need to be created without the consent of the territorial state. (Syria would obviously never consent to such a court.)
In a recent post, Derek Jinks questions whether the UNGA has the authority to create a hybrid tribunal without Syria's consent. I find his analysis compelling. But here is what I want to know: does the US really want to lead the charge for such a nonconsensual hybrid tribunal? After all, what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander: if the US endorses the UNGA creating a nonconsensual hybrid tribunal for Syria, it will hardly be able to complain if the UNGA later creates, say — just spitballing here — a nonconsensual hybrid tribunal to deal with crimes committed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Either states need to consent to international criminal tribunals or they don't. So does the US really want to give its blessing to what is an obvious attempt to circumvent P-5's stranglehold over the Security Council?
Inquiring minds want to know…
5 Responses
small splitting hairs point: the ECCC was technically created by a domestic law, so is technically a domestic court…
Kevin: Shhhh!
If a group of states want to set up a mechanism to deal with crimes that are subject to universal jurisdiction, then that would seem to be their option, irrespective of what the state with territorial jurisdiction thinks.
I am a bit late to the party, but I saw Dov's comment and wanted to respond. First of all, the ECCC was created pursuant to a treaty between the UN and the RGC. The domestic law was required to implement the treaty obligations in Cambodia. Does that fact, on its own, make the ECCC a domestic court? I don't think so. (Neither, by the way does the ECCC.)
More generally, whether something is "international" vs. "domestic" is probably not the right question. The issue is not a binary one. Rather, fully international and fully domestic are endpoints on a continuum. Was the ECCC less international than the ICTY? Yes. Was it more international than the recent genocide trial in Guatemala (for example)? Yes.
The "internationalness" of a tribunal should be assessed using a number of factors, including 1) the substantive law it will apply 2) its funding sources 3) the makeup of its personnel and 4) the involvement of international actors (particularly the UN) in its creation. Using these factors, some courts are more international than others (the ad hocs and the ICC being the most international), while some are less international but still recognizably international (the ECCC and SCSL).
Rob, the issue here isn't whether a tribunal, once created, would have jurisdiction, but rather whether UNGA has the authority under the charter to create a judicial organ. Sure, a group of states–say, two thirds of UN member states–could get together and set up a tribunal. But UNGA, apparently, cannot. Perhaps it could hold a convention and draft a treaty creating such a tribunal and recommend that states ratify, but the legal authority of the tribunal would derive from the treaty and not the decision of UNGA. In the end, the US would likely be more hesitant to endorse a treaty-created entity that is not bound by complementarity, as the treaty would not need 2/3 of states to adopt for it to have effect and would not want to set this precedent where a handful of states could then use it in the iraq/Afghanistan context.

Haaretz: Israel, Hamas reach Gilad Shalit prisoner exchange deal, officials say
Israel and Hamas have reached a prisoner exchange deal that will secure the release of abducted Israel Defense Forces soldier Gilad Shalit, officials at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said on Tuesday.
Al Jazeera English: Hamas 'close' to prisoner-Shalit swap deal
Hamas is "close" to reaching a deal with the Israeli government on swapping Palestinian prisoners for the release of Gilad Shalit, an Israeli soldier held in the Gaza Strip, an official said.
"We are close to a deal," a Hamas official confirmed to Al Jazeera.
The details are not fully negotiated but Hamas is "close to receiving 100 per cent" of its demands, the official said.
Reports say the swap will be 1,000 Palestinian prisoners for Gilad Shalit.
ABC News: U.S. Says Iran-Tied Terror Plot in Washington, D.C. Disrupted
FBI and DEA agents have disrupted a plot to commit a "significant terrorist act in the United States" tied to Iran, federal officials told ABC News today.
The officials said the plot included the assassination of the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United States, Adel Al-Jubeir, with a bomb and subsequent bomb attacks on the Saudi and Israeli embassies in Washington, D.C.
Bombings of the Saudi and Israeli embassies in Buenos Aires, Argentina, were also discussed, according to the U.S. officials. . .
The new case, called Operation Red Coalition, began in May when an Iranian-American from Corpus Christi, Texas, approached a DEA informant seeking the help of a Mexican drug cartel to assassinate the Saudi ambassador, according to counter-terrorism officials.
Not everyone seems to be buying it.
Other than that not much going on.

Actor Peter Facinelli is hoping his Twilight fans follow him into the literary world as he prepares to launch his first young adult novel After The Red Rain.
The movie star, who portrayed vampire patriarch Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the Twilight films, has teamed up with authors Rob DeFranco and Barry Lyga to develop his first novel, featuring a hero named Rose.
He tells EW.com, "I love storytelling. Being an actor is a form of telling stories through characters. As a writer I get the opportunity to create the entire world that all the characters live in as opposed to focusing on one character or one part of the story. I enjoy being able to create and manipulate characters and events in order to tell a whole story.
"I have written two film scripts, but I have not tackled a novel before... (and) the task of writing a novel was overwhelming at first, and I am happy that I get to collaborate with Barry Lyga and Rob DeFranco. It makes the process less daunting when you get to bounce ideas off of others you respect, and Rob and I both feel very fortunate to work alongside Barry, who has experience in this form of storytelling."
Facinelli is hoping After the Red Rain will become a trilogy after the first book is published in 2015, and he admits his kids like what they're reading so far: "I do have my own YA (young adult) test group at home. I've read some sample chapters to my 10-year-old and 16-year-old daughters (and) so far I'm getting thumbs up."

|Re: plugin repository for 2.1.1
|Wed, 07 May 2008 17:21:12 GMT
Seems that we need a unique plugin repo for each release, given how we now build plugins based on the content in pom.xml instead of supplying a separate plugin file.... Maybe there are some additional car-maven-plugin enhancements needed, so you can define a range or that any sever release is supported by the plugin/car being built. Or maybe as David Jencks has suggested elsewhere, we need to setup the artifact_aliases.properties in each server release to alias prior releases (like 2.1 and 2.1.1) to the current release (which would be 2.1.2 for the next release.) -Donald Joe Bohn wrote: > > I've got some questions (and possibly some issues) with the plugin > repository for Geronimo 2.1.1.

"Fifteen friends wrote me 15 short scores about an extinct animal of their choice that represents them or with which they feel an affinity.
The extinct animal symbolizes "the Other," subsumed by the majority, the norm. Too big to reproduce itself, too slow, too able to see. Emblematic of the strange, the weird, the perverse and the maladjusted. The thing that throws us into melancholy, dreams and fantasy, yet at the same time informs us, like a metaphor, about our relationship to our environment. It is a voice from the world of the dead distilling a dark vision full of humor."
Antonia Baehr, a Queer performance artist, works on identity, its transmission, and its construction. In this piece, she turns a few pages of her living bestiary for us, speaking to us of humans as well as animals that become extinct because they can't adjust.

On the New Year's Day George and I went to see "Unbroken"; a hot movie about Louis Zamperini, who was born in Torrance, became an Olympian, and survived a brutal Japanese prisoner camp, directed by Angelina Jolie, who led an epidemic of double mastectomies as a breast cancer prevention.
In Torrance there is an airport named after Zamperini. Torrance High School is the school he graduated from, and I used to work there. After he became Christian, old Louis Zamperini came to a men's club at our church as a guest speaker, and George had a chance to talk with him. There were enough interests to see the movie.
After the movie was over, George asked me, "So what do you think about the movie?"
Well, first there were so many horrifying scenes that were very hard to watch. The main part of the movie was that a Japanese sadistic soldier, Mutsuhiro Watanabe, abused Zamperini like hell, and especially when he commanded all prisoners to beat Zamperini's face one by one because Zamperini refused to broadcast anti-America propaganda on the radio, it was almost too heavy to take it. I was afraid that people may become anti-Japan, and Japanese may instantly react saying, "How about Hiroshima and Nagasaki's atomic bombing?"
Second, the movie didn't include the most amazing or crucial part of Zamperini's life: When he became a Christian after the war, being influenced by Billy Graham, he was saved from the hate and nightmares, which had continually tormented him, and he went back to Japan not for revenge but to forgive the soldiers who had abused and tortured him. The movie only described about it in short sentences at the very end. It was disappointing.
The evil man, Watanabe, was on an interview in "60 Minutes" when Zamperini went back to Japan. Watanabe didn't deny his brutal treatment towards Zamperini, but he refused to see Zamperini. I can imagine for Watanabe it required so much courage to see the man he wanted to destroy, especially knowing the same man was willing to forgive him. Nevertheless, It was so shameful that Watanabe didn't take the offer of forgiveness.
As a Japanese the movie was not easy to watch. Yet perhaps what I saw in the movie was Satan. I recognized how savage Satan was. His claws tear apart our bodies, minds, and souls mercilessly. It was truly a miracle that Zamperini survived all such sarvage afflictiins. The movie title "Unbroken" gives an image that Zamperini was an strong iron man, yet in the fact, his life was almost destroyed by the after effects of the satanic attacks during the prison camp despite his survival. It was Jesus who saved him.
New challenges and trials will come, but if I get scared or depressed, I should remember Jesus who is stronger than Satan, and Zamperini, who produced so many fruits being healed by Him. I am weak but my God is almighty!

Adele's three-year-old son Angelo has seen his superstar mother perform on stage for the first time.
The British singer was more emotional than usual during her sold-out performance at London's O2 Arena on Wednesday (16Mar16), after she paused her performance to reveal her little boy was in the audience.
According to the MailOnline Adele told fans her first child with partner Simon Konecki, who was born in October 2012, has never had the chance to see his mum on stage before.
"This is the first show he has seen me do," the star beamed.
Later launching into her hit Someone Like You from album 21, she gave a tearful shout-out to her son saying,"I love you so much, Peanut!"
In an interview with i-D Magazine last year (15) the 27-year-old singer said that having Angelo was: "the greatest thing I ever did. Now I have a purpose. It used to be that my own world revolved around me, but now it has to revolve around him ."
Adele is currently in the middle of a world tour to promote her new album 25 which was released last November (15) and included the worldwide smash hit ballad Hello.
The star recently admitted her desire to impress her son had been the main factor driving her to get back into the studio.
"In between albums I popped out a baby. It's the greatest thing I ever did," she told fans in Belfast, according to Britain's The Sun newspaper. "Now I have complete purpose... I want him to be proud of me and understand why I do this."
Adele's 105-date tour kicked off in Ireland in February, and will head to Europe in the summer before going to the U.S., Canada and Mexico in the (16).

(Reuters) – Federal agents arrested a Mississippi martial arts instructor on Saturday after his home and a former business were searched as part of an investigation into ricin-laced letters sent to President Barack Obama and two other public officials.
Everett Dutschke, 41, was taken into custody by U.S. marshals at his Tupelo home early Saturday morning without incident, the city's police chief, Tony Carleton, told Reuters.
It was not immediately known if Dutschke has been charged in the ricin investigation.
Dutschke faces other charges related to an April 1 indictment for fondling three different children between ages 7 and 16, from 2007 to 2013, according to court records. He was released on $25,000 bond in that case.
