Instead of griping about growing flood of takedowns, why doesn't Google change its approach?
Poor Google….bad, bad copyright holders….that's essentially the subtext beneath headlines that scream, "Google received over 75 million copyright takedown requests in February-The company is processing over 100,000 links each and every hour." My response–why not try a different approach?
The massive volume of takedowns that Google deals with every hour is a sign of its failure, not– as some would have us believe–overzealous rights holders. Dealing with the copyright notices is a byproduct of Google's business model and its continued refusal to take meaningful action against the rampant piracy enabled by its products (search, blogger, drive, etc).
As Google's empire has grown over the years, its teflon-resistant coating to all things copyright has thickened. Year after year, the company has spun the truth about its role in propagating online piracy by demonizing piracy's victims. The 97% that send valid takedown notices are dissed, while the 3% receiving erroneous (or incomplete) notices are somehow portrayed as victims??? It's a ridiculous posit, but one Google has repeatedly burnished so as to be accepted as truth.
Why not try to "do a better job" reducing piracy and protecting creators?
Just last week the folks at Google trumpeted their latest initiative to do a better job to minimize takedown and monetization mistakes on YouTube. If the company really wants to do a "better job" why not assemble a "team" to figure out better ways to deal with the rampant (and growing) problem of copyright abuse throughout its products? Google could employ a team approach to refine and improve its DMCA takedown system company-wide.
Market forces could work to encourage compliance with copyright law
If processing 100,000 takedowns every hour is a burden, why not do something concrete to reduce those numbers? I'd suggest starting with pirate websites that appear at the top of the reported domains list each month. Take a look at those domains and you'll find that one reason Google receives so many takedown notices is due to the fact that many sites hosting pirated content ignore copyright takedown requests. To protect their work from thieves, creators have little recourse but to move down the food chain and turn to Google to remove the infringing links. If only Google applied some appropriate (temporary) pressure, perhaps it could influence a change in these site's non-compliant behavior.
Why not temporarily block top offenders? Pirate sites could risk losing traffic for failure to deal with takedown requests
What type of pressure am I talking about? I'm suggesting Google create a team to focus on the domains at the top of the complaint list. Google purports to down-rank these domains already, but those claims don't match up with reality. The company should go further to investigate, and temporarily block, the top offenders from Google's search results.
If Google blocked the top domains reported for piracy for 30 days, site operators might be induced to better respond to copyright complaints, or risk losing crucial Google search traffic. In essence, it could be a self-regulating, temporary punishment leading ultimately to a correction…
- Domain blocked
- Domain cleans up its act
- Complaints to Google decrease
- Domain drops out of top offender list
- Domain's links restored to Google search
If a site operator continued to ignore takedown requests and the domain remains atop of the complaint list, the block could be extended to 90 days, then 180, etc. The initial blockade could be reviewed by a human team, but once added a site is in the queue, Google's much vaunted algorithms could likely handle such a process.
How many domains on the list should be considered? Taking a look at the monthly report it seems that domains with more than 100k reported months might be a place to start. That would mean the top 100 offenders would be blocked for (at least) 30 days. I'm sure a reasonable cut-off point could –I'll leave that to the Google team to figure out specifics.
If a carrot and stick approach like this were implemented by Google, perhaps it would nudge (some) sites into respecting copyright law while simultaneously reducing the number of complaints it handles. Create a middle ground where the rights of creators are balanced against the dubious "free speech" mantra Google so often wields to justify (lack of ) response to online piracy. If, according to Google, "whole-site removal sends the wrong message to other countries by favoring over-inclusive private censorship over the rule of law," then why not at least try a more moderate approach?
Of course Google's modus operandi is to deflect, not seek compromise, and its flacks will undoubtedly argue the company dare not become copyright police. Meanwhile, in other spheres, Google manages to be pretty effective using technology to detect online child porn activity. Of course piracy is not child porn, but there's really no excuse for Google not to employ its tech largess to find a path forward to dampen online piracy (and takedown requests).
There have been other examples industry developing voluntary best practices in the war against piracy–Why not Google?
If Google were to initiate such a reasonable approach, one that could encourage voluntary compliance with copyright law, both the company and rights holders could benefit.
Websites hosting pirated content might begin responding to copyright takedown requests, rights holders would not be forced to turn to Google for takedowns, and the company wouldn't be processing 100K takedowns per hour. It would be a win for creators, Google and consumers.
Isn't it worth trying something different? Would Google be willing to consider a new approach to a growing problem? Given its stubborn obstinacy, probably not–but it never hurts to ask. I'd happy to team up with Google to help find that middle ground.

Hippos live in eastern central and southern sub-Saharan Africa, where their populations are in decline. Their name means 'river horse' in Greek. They can spend up to 16 hours a day submerged in rivers and lakes to keep their massive bodies cool under the hot African sun. They are surprisingly graceful in water, they are good swimmers but they often simply walk or stand on the lake floor or lie in the shallows.
Their eyes and nostrils are located high on their heads, which allows them to see and breathe while mostly submerged. They can close their nostrils and flatten their ears and stay completely submerged underwater for up to five minutes at a time.
At sunset, hippopotamuses leave the water and travel overland to graze. They may travel 10 km in single-file to consume some about 35 kg of grass. Considering their enormous size, a hippo's food intake is relatively low.
Mating and birth can take place on land or in water. Hippo calves weigh nearly 45 kg at birth and can suckle on land or underwater by closing their ears and nostrils.
Few parasites have cornered a market so decisively as Placobdelloides jaegerskioeldi. This unassuming little leech rarely sees the light of day for the very good reason that it lives up a hippopotamus's arse. Hippos have extremely tough skin and there's a layer of blubber beneath, so for a leech looking for a blood meal, the rectal region – where the skin is vascular, with blood vessels near the surface – is an ideal place to hang out.
But the leech up the arse is in for a bumpy ride. Hippos are noted for the violence of their bowel movements – they fire out an explosion of slurry and then fling it about with their tails – so the bum leech needs to get a good grip. It has a pair of suckers, front and rear, which provide a firm anchorage, then it drives its proboscis into the rectal wall. Finally, it begins to feed, eventually taking up to ten times its own weight in blood.
There is an eagle in me that wants to soar, and there is a hippopotamus in me that wants to wallow in the mud.
Hippos are among the most dangerous and aggressive of all mammals. Their teeth grow continuously, their canines can reach 50 cm in length. Hippo males use their canines for fighting. To warn off enemies, a hippo may yawn, scoop water with its mouth, shake its head, rear up, lunge, roar, grunt, chase and make a loud wheezing sound, all of which are threat displays. When rival males meet, they stand nose to nose with their mouth open as wide as possible, up to a 150 degree angle. This is called 'gaping'. Usually the smaller male retreats. When they do decide to fight, they slash out with their tusks or swing their enormous heads like sledgehammers while bellowing loudly. They have been known to die as a result.
A hippo can kill people if it is provoked or feels threatened. Most human fatalities are caused by hippos capsizing boats.
Hippos spray their dung out with huge force. With their tails acting like high-speed propellers, they push their poo out of their back end, flinging it wildly about in a torrent. Millions of tons of hippo dung gets propelled into Africa's rivers each year. Hippo dung brings quite a lot of nutrition into the water with it. For at least part of the year, aquatic fish and invertebrates rely upon hippo dung for their nutritional needs.
According to a story that the San people of Southern Africa tell; when the Creator assigned each animal its place in nature, the hippos wanted to live in the water but were refused out of fear that they might eat all the fish. After begging and pleading, the hippos were finally allowed to live in the water on the condition that they would eat grass instead of fish and would fling their dung so that it can be inspected for fish bones.
Hippos sometimes bask on the shoreline and secrete an oily red substance, which gave rise to the myth that they sweat blood. The liquid is actually a skin moistener and sunblock that may also provide protection against infections.
A fully grown hippo can easily outrun a man.
A group of hippos is called a bloat.
According to The Oxford Companion to Food, the best part of a hippopotamus to eat is their breasts, pot roasted with herbs and spices.
Around 128,000 years ago, hippos lived in the area now covered by Trafalgar Square.
At least one of George Washington's appalling false teeth was made from hippopotamus ivory.
Hippos dispose of crocodiles by biting them in half.
The skin of a hippopotamus weighs a ton.
The oldest-known soup in human history is hippopotamus soup.

…That's exactly how the Rotary Club of South Ribble celebrated the 110th Birthday of Rotary International. The cake was donated by Greenhalgh's Craft Bakery and displayed in their shop window in Hough Lane, Leyland for the week leading up to February 23. It was also reported in the local paper, the Leyland Guardian.
President Tony Stevens thought this would be an original way to draws people's attentions to the organisation, and their fund-raising activities for charities in Lancashire and around the world.
The club made light work of the iced sponge cake at its next meeting!

Herbrand Seven-Eleven
Walsh is the only owned, designed and manufactured athletic footwear brand left in the U.K. Yet, few people outside of Bolton know about it. In collaboration with Walsh, we launched a limited-edition trainer inspired by the stunning art deco car park that is now the McCann London office. Sewn together by hand in Northern England, the Herbrand Seven-Eleven is more than just a trainer. It is a celebration of British craftsmanship and design.
We designed a magazine for the Herbrand Seven-Eleven that further highlighted the architectural influence on the trainer design. All imagery was shot in and around 7-11 Herbrand Street together with Lee Grubb and John Martin.
Peaks of Walsh
Walsh has its roots in fell running, a distinctly northern sport in which athletes run across mountains and among clouds. At the peak of all these mountains you will find a cairn, a stone formation created by people who have reached the top. We used this symbol to create a window display that celebrated the greatest trainers in the history of Walsh. This was the centrepiece of a larger Walsh retrospective we designed and hosted at McCann London.

Name: Tara James
Position: Senior Consultant, Corporate Citizenship
When did you join the LBG/Corporate Citizenship team? Originally in 2010 in London, and was with the team for around three years. As of January 2017, I'm excited to be re-joining, though this time here in Australia! In between, I worked with Royal Mail Group through their privatisation, moved back to Australia, and had a baby girl (who is somehow now a toddler…).
Describe your job in one sentence: Helping people make their businesses stronger.
Career highlight to date: Through the course of my time in CSR, I've been lucky enough to meet some truly inspirational individuals who have seemingly infinite capacity for assisting their communities. It is inspiring seeing just how much some people give, for no personal gain – and just how much one person can achieve (in addition to their day job!).
Three things you can't live without: My daughter's cheeky grin, music, the great outdoors.
What's on your bucket list? There are a lot of things I would love to do, including seeing a lot more of the world, however there aren't too many things that are an absolute must for me. Raising an awesome daughter is probably the main one.
What is the last book you read? Thrive, by Ariana Huffington.
What is your dream holiday location and why? My favourite places have been ones I have stumbled across, generally out on walks in the middle of nowhere, and generally involving food. For example a "restaurant" at the back of a small homestead in Croatia where we had homemade lemonade, sun-ripened tomatoes and freshly baked bread while overlooking a vineyard. So I suppose my dream location would be somewhere with good views and good food – it's relaxing (and tasty).
What do you feel most passionate about? My family.

In the event that you are running shy of Tramadol solution and in need to get the pills promptly then
you should be confused if the check is ticking in a period zone where the physical stores have officially
shut the shades. You should take the upside of Overnight Delivery Tramadol alternative as this is the
ideal path accessible for you. The Package with this pain reducing prescription would be dispatched
rapidly to its destination.
Expect a Superfast delivery when you pick an Overnight Delivery Tramadol Service

parcel according to your space decision and conveyance inclination. Inside the adjusted spaces time
frame, it is certain that you would get your pills with no bother.
In the event that you arrange for Tramadol today evening, you can orally manage the pill for the

Upsides of Overnight Delivery Tramadol Service
It is smarter to settle on an online drugstore that is in the business for a significant drawn-out stretch of
time. These locales are the ones who take measures to fulfill every one of the desires of the clients and
would not ruin their notoriety by giving phony guarantees. You need to painstakingly pick the site that
would give Overnight Delivery Tramadol. There are such a significant number of locales that claim that
they will convey the pills rapidly yet could never do as such.
You need to simply check whether the rate of Tramadol is appropriate for you or not as soon as you land
on the appropriate webpage. Think about various sites with the goal that it would empower you to get
this pain alleviation solution at your coveted price. Presently, place a bulk order with the goal that the
restorative cost would be brought down to a more prominent degree. The subsequent stage is to do the
installment both for the drug and in addition the overnight conveyance.
Eligibility to arrange with Overnight Delivery Tramadol option

Tramadol alternative from an online drugstore. On the off chance that you have a prescription for this
pill then you can arrange this medicine with overnight conveyance choice. In any case, this shipment is
accessible for the individuals who live in principle urban communities and it is an uncertainty that
individuals in remote ranges get this advantage.
Spend bit more pennies for your emergency needs
It is certain that you have to pay additional for the Overnight Delivery Tramadol alternative, however,
there will be no much variety among the charge by any stretch of the imagination. To think about this,
you can ask a client mind individual of the site or have a go at buying the medication where they would
demonstrate the transportation charge for your area.
Making utilization of rebates for the medication would profit you since it would make the general
medicinal cost to decrease.

Bridal Bouquet
Bridal bouquet is an integral part of the wedding ceremony. It is important for the bouquet to match the bride's elegance and beauty when she is walking down the aisle. The bridal bouquet is an important part of the wedding look. On wedding day, the bridal bouquet will be with the bride all day and will have a strong visual impact on the photographs of the wedding album. It is therefore important for the bridal bouquet to reflect the wedding theme and the bride's vision and for her special day. When choosing the bridal bouquet, bride must take into account factors such as the wedding color, theme, budget , season and above all, the bride and groom's personality. Some brides like to keep their bouquet and preserve it and ask for a tossing bouquet which is a smaller version of the bridal bouquet.

News regarding traditional wisdom and native diets regarding nutrition.
Antibiotic Drugs in America's Meat Supply: Scorecard Rates Worst Offenders in Restaurant Industry
A stunning 70 percent of all antibiotics important in human medicine in the U.S. are sold for use in animal agriculture. These lifesaving drugs are fed routinely to animals that are not sick in order to promote growth and prevent diseases that spread easily in crowded, filthy factory farm conditions. Public health agencies have declared antibiotic resistance a top health threat in the U.S. -- and the rampant misuse of antibiotics in livestock production is a major cause. Chain Reaction II is the second annual report and scorecard that grades America's top restaurant chains' on their policies and practices regarding antibiotics use and transparency in their meat and poultry supply chains. The good news is that consumer and investor pressure has pushed twice as many companies as last year to create more responsible antibiotics policies, particularly for chicken. The bad news is that Olive Garden, KFC and 14 other chains received F grades and little progress has been made on pork and beef. Only two restaurant chains received an A grade: Chipotle and Panera. Read the 2016 scorecard to see how restaurants fared.
Health Benefits of Blackstrap Molasses for Missing Minerals
It has been established for some time that our agricultural topsoil is depleted and lacking the full complement of minerals that should be there. Large industrial monoculture farming practices that include no fallow time or alternating crops with the extensive use of herbicides and pesticides are rightly blamed for this lack of minerals. This mineral deficiency is no light matter. It affects the crop foods we eat. Without minerals, vitamins are dysfunctional, and metabolizing them is hampered. Almost everyone is magnesium deficient, for example, and magnesium is involved with over 300 cellular metabolic functions. Some say more. Even organic farmers often have to overcome topsoil deficits initially. Some organically oriented farmers do over time, but it's safe to assume that other large scale farms don't or don't bother much. After all, USDA organic certification depends on how crops are grown, not necessarily on the quality of its soil. Trace minerals are also vital for our health, yet they are mostly ignored and considered insignificant by many medical practitioners and mainstream nutritionists. Relying on supplements for enhancing one's bodily mineral content has its drawbacks. One doesn't know the purity of supplemental contents and their other ingredients. How well they're digested and assimilated is also an issue. Blackstrap molasses is an excellent source of many minerals.
Medical Doctors Punished & Silenced for Giving "Unapproved" High Fat Dietary Advice
Dr. Gary Fettke, MD, of Australia and Professor Tim Noakes, MD, of South Africa are both being attacked for saving lives by promoting the low carbohydrate high fat diet. In the case of orthopedic surgeon Dr. Fettke, his offence against the Australian medical establishment was to teach his patients how to use the low carb high fat (LCHF) diet to reverse their type 2 diabetes and avoid the amputation of their feet and legs. He and his wife Belinda Fettke established two clinics to help people adopt a low carb high fat eating lifestyle. The sanctions placed on him prevent him from recommending or speaking about the LCHF diet to anyone, anywhere, and at any time for the rest of his life. In the case of Professor Emeritus Dr. Noakes, his offence against the South African medical establishment was to show that a low carb high fat diet could reverse numerous diseases. His LCHF book The Real Meal Revolution, is the all-time top selling non-fiction book in South Africa with more than 200,000 copies sold in the last two years. Affiliated with the University of Cape Town, Professor Emeritus Dr. Noakes has distinguished himself as one of the world's most famous sports scientists. His work has evoked considerable backlash from those who seek to enforce compliance with high carb low fat dietary dogma. Dr. Noakes is refusing to yield to persecution by the trivial charge that was brought against him, and is using his trial to bring the science of the LCHF diet into public view in South Africa and around the world. Together, Drs. Noakes and Fettke used decades of scientific research to show the link between the government recommended high carb low fat diet and arterial disease, diabetes, obesity, heart disease, cancer, and dementia.
Healthy Traditions Adds Flax Seeds Tested Clean of Glyphosate to Product Line
Healthy Traditions announced today that they have added Raw Brown Whole Flax Seeds to their line of GMO-tested and Glyphosate-tested products. Healthy Traditions is a brand of Tropical Traditions, and in 2014 Tropical Traditions tested their USDA certified organic grains for the presence of glyphosate. They were shocked to find many of their grains were contaminated with the herbicide glyphosate. In their search for new products that would test clean for the presence of both GMOs and glyphosate, they had a very difficult time finding flax seeds that tested clean for the presence of glyphosate. The area of the U.S. where most flax seeds grow are in northern states where desiccating crops with glyphosate is common practice to control the harvest prior to snowfall. Finally, almost 2 years later, they obtained samples from a farm in Italy that tested clean on the samples which were tested. They now offer this very high quality flax seed to their American market.
Olive Oil Lovers Need to Be Wary of Olive Oil Scams
It's likely that many Americans who have been buying olive oil for decades have never tasted the real thing. In fact, it's likely that many of those who bought and used fake or compromised olive oils would reject the real thing because it tastes odd to them. Olive racketeering has been going on for quite a while to some extent. The Romans of B.C. ages had to clamp down on it. But it is bigger and more sophisticated now than ever. Genuine olive oil is time consuming to produce and demands higher prices than most other edible oils. Yet olive oil is easy to adulterate and sell as the real thing. Why is this important? It is the centerpiece of the Mediterranean Diet. Its monounsaturated oleic and palmitic fatty acids along with its healthy polyphenols are very heart healthy. Additionally, according to the Alliance for Natural Health (ANH): "Being able to buy authentic extra virgin olive oil is all the more important because it is a superfood. Among other good things, it contains a miracle ingredient known as oleuropein, which has anticancer, pro-mitochondrial, antibiotic, and anti-Alzheimer's properties. It also contains polyphenols and antioxidants with anti-inflammatory benefits. It is a mainstay of the ketogenic diet." Some claim that since olive oil scam exposures the olive oil industry has cleaned its act somewhat. After explaining how olive oil frauds work and their recent history, there will be information provided of what makes a perfect olive oil and how you can determine if it is truly as advertised.
Leaked Emails Show Government Corruption in Approving Aspartame
Artificial sweeteners such as aspartame are typically used to sweeten so-called "diet" foods and beverages in lieu of sugar or high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). The idea is that reducing your calorie consumption will result in weight loss. However, research has completely demolished this notion, showing that artificial sweeteners actually have the converse effect; they actually lower appetite suppressant chemicals and encourage sugar cravings and sugar dependence, thereby raising your odds of unwanted weight gain. Research has repeatedly shown that artificial sweeteners promote insulin resistance and related health problems just like regular sugar does, including cardiovascular disease, stroke and Alzheimer's disease. John Podesta's leaked emails have turned up a number of damning pieces confirming the collusion between the soda industry and high level officials within the U.S. government, including Hillary Clinton.
FREE Summit from Health Experts Teaches About Healthy Fats to Reverse Disease and Lose Weight
From November 7 - 14 Dr. Mark Hyman, Dr. Carrie Diulus, and over 30 of the world's top experts on fats will participate in an online FREE summit dispeling the biggest MYTHS about fat, and revealing the latest research about how to eat, move and supplement your diet for improved health and longevity. Join these world-renowned experts, such as Aseem Malhotra, MD (one of Britain's top cardiologists), Amy Myers, MD, Gary Taubes (famous science author that challenged mainstream media's dogma on fats), Sayer Ji (Founder of GreenMedInfo.com), best-selling author Nina Teicholz, Peter Attia, MD, and dozens of others! There's so much confusion and misinformation out there about FAT…both the fat on our bodies, and the fats we eat. You've been told that eating fat makes you fat — and increases your risk for heart disease and other chronic illnesses — but fat is NOT the enemy. The truth is: eating MORE FAT can help shut down cravings, accelerate weight loss and potentially prevent or reverse disease.
CDC Corruption: Scientists on the Inside Slam the Agency
Recently we've reported on the crony ties between top US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officials and beverage giant Coca-Cola. New evidence suggests that the cronyism at the CDC goes far deeper. A group calling itself CDC Scientists Preserving Integrity, Diligence, and Ethics in Research (CDC SPIDER) recently submitted a letter to the CDC chief of staff expressing grave concerns about special interest influence being exerted on the agency's leaders.
How First Lady's Organic Garden Became a Junk Food Campaign
Mere months after President Obama came into office, first lady Michelle Obama launched an organic garden project at the White House, complete with a composting system and beehives. Many were opposed to the idea of an organic garden in the White House, and even more so to having a first lady focused on organic food and organic gardening as a source of health. In 2012, a number of media articles suddenly cropped up, in which they referred to organics as an "elitist lifestyle choice." A spokesman for the American Council on Science and Health (ASCH) went so far as calling the Obamas "organic limousine liberals." Clearly, it was a poorly shrouded effort to quell the rising tide of organic food enthusiasts. It was also quite clear that the White House organic garden upset some significant donors, not because it was there, but because the first lady was implying that organic foods are healthier. In a recent New York Times article, Michael Pollan expertly details the subversive influence of Big Food on Obama's presidency.
FDA To Redefine "Healthy" Once Again
As usual, the agency is using outdated science and is heavily influenced by industry. Action Alert! Following the recent update to the Nutrition Facts label and the approval of the 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the FDA is proposing to update the definition of "healthy" and in federal regulations. The idea is to harmonize the regulatory definition of "healthy" (as well as related terms) with the "latest nutrition science," presumably contained in the newly approved guidelines. The FDA has no business defining what "healthy" is, given its lack of scientific expertise (noted in a congressional audit) and especially its extensive crony ties to industry.

New pathway from South America
Palm thrips have been intercepted in Miami, Florida (U.S.A.) on roses from the Western Hemisphere for at least the second time. This has not previously been perceived as a high-risk pathway.
Issues of Concern: Palm thrips were intercepted on roses from Colombia by APHIS-PPQ in February 2000 and in January 1995. This species has been intercepted on roses from other parts of the world about 20 times. Palm thrips on new world commercial roses represents a new pathway; roses from the western hemisphere were previously viewed as low-risk. Specific methods used for the inspection of roses are considered critical to successful detections.The spatial distribution of Thrips palmi in Korea is also apparently increasing (EPPO Reporting Service 2000, No. 11), "expanding towards the north, due to its wide host range and lack of effective control measures".
Hosts: Thrips palmi is polyphagous, primarily feeding on Orchidaceae, Cucurbitaceae and Solanaceae. It has been reported on aubergines (Solanum melongena), Benincasa hispida, Capsicum annuum, cotton (Gossypium spp.), cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata), cucumbers (Cucumis sativus), Cucurbita spp., melons (Cucumis melo), peas (Pisum sativum), Phaseolus vulgaris, potatoes (S. tuberosum), sesame (Sesamum indicum), soybeans (Glycine max), sunflowers (Helianthus annuus), tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) and watermelons (Citrullus lanatus). Flowers: citrus, mango. Weeds: Vicia sativa, Cerastium glomeratum and Capsella bursa-pastoris. Greenhouses: aubergines, Capsicum annuum, chrysanthemums (Dendranthema morifolium), cucumbers, Cyclamen, Ficus and Orchidaceae.
Vector(s)/Dispersal: T. palmi is reported to be a vector of viruses related to TSWV in Japan and Taiwan.
Asia; Africa; Australasia; North America (Hawaii, Florida); Central America and Caribbean (Antigua, Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, the Dominican Republic, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Haiti, Martinique, Puerto Rico, St. Lucia, St. Kitts and Nevis, Trinidad and Tobago); South America
Quarantines: Thrips palmi is an EPPO A1 quarantine pest and CPPC A2 pest.
Detection Strategies
T. palmi is difficult to detect at low densities in consignments. They are fast moving and extremely small (approx. 1.5 mm adult length). Pale thrips such as T. palmi need to be sampled on a dark surface; detections on cut flowers can be made by 'banging' flowers on a well-lit appropriately colored surface. Inspectors should collect specimens from the sampling surface using a paint brush moistened with alcohol from the vial into which they will be placed.
Larvae are very pale and cryptic, and are difficult to detect even on dark surfaces. This is also a life stage commonly encountered by inspectors. Since thrips are rapidly driven off fresh commodities by heat, a Berlese funnel technique may be preferable while also being less destructive to inspected ornamentals. A Berlese technique for thrips detection has been successfully employed at the Port of San Francisco, California. A bank of 6 funnels is employed, and cut flowers are taken apart and inserted. Thrips can be detected in a matter of hours. This method is destructive, and is currently used only on commodities from customer baggage, which are already destined to be destroyed. This system does work well, and serves to increase inspector awareness.
Thrips palmi is one of several thrips species exhibiting high levels of pesticide resistance on ornamental plants. Insecticides with systemic activity may be preferable.

Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely traveling any farther than his pantry or cellar. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on an adventure. They have launched a plot to raid the treasure hoard guarded by Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. Bilbo reluctantly joins their quest, unaware that on his journey to the Lonely Mountain he will encounter both a magic ring and a frightening creature known as Gollum.
Continuing with the classics theme I have the brilliant J. R. R. Tolkien with The Hobbit.
This book is amazingly complicated to review for one it is not written to a standard you can call 'literary masterpiece' after all its amazingly uncomplicated with fourteen people going through a rather fantastical journey through an alien world. It is obviously narrated by Tolkien as a third party observer retrospectively. By right it should not deserve it's statues as a 'modern classic' but a modern classic it is.
This book is simply amazing. I suppose it is a children's book but like Harry Potter, it is something anyone can read and as much as it pains me to say it the premise of this book KO's Harry Potter's. The simple charm of this book enthralls the reader with a beautifully painted scenes and charmingly unoptimistic protagonist. I fell in love with Bilbo Baggins as the simple Hobbit who did as respectable hobbits did, had too much cake and blew smoke rings in his back yard whilst in his heart of hearts he wanted to have adventures like his Took ancestors.
I can't say I am overly fond of the dwarves but like everything in this book they capture your heart and will not let go until you have read and read through it. The thing about this is and am not sure whether this is a compliment or not and it's that this book really feels as long as the journey. It's like loads of little journey's crammed together with moments of short but somewhat relaxing rests but then they set of again and it would be completely different from the last little adventure they had.
In a way knowing that Bilbo was going to survive took away from the excitement after all whatever happened he was going to come out on top but then again I don't think it was Tolkien's fault that I have in fact seen The Lords of the Rings way too many time although not quite as much as some of the people I know.
Okay transgressing a little to the subject of the movie. First I am too excited for one because I am now absolutely in love with it but also because it's about time Peter Jackson got around to directing it. I really do hope that Jackson achieves the same success with this move as in the rest of the Lord of the Rings movies.
Alright now let's move on to the verdict. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars since my words could not possible do this book any justice but be warned this book is very genre specific if you do not like the Lord of the Rings movies, avoid this book at all costs.

This is going to be a tough article for some of you guys out there. Here you are doing your thing, acting as cool as you possibly think you can act, but still you are not getting quite the results that you want. The cool guys that you want to hang out with seem to shy away when you roll up to them, and the women that you are trying to hook up with don't seem to be interested at all. What could be the problem? You are doing everything right, are you not?
Well, the problem is simple. No one likes you. How could that be? You do everything right, you follow every trend, you wear the right clothes, and keep your body in shape. How could people not like you? Well, my friend, that is pretty much it right there.
You try way too hard to be cool, and pretty much the one way to guarantee that you will not be cool is to try too hard to be so. Let me break it down for you. Every single thing that you do is irritating, even more so because you think that it is not. There are literally hundreds of things that you should probably change about yourself, but since this is a list and not a book we are going to have to stick to 15 of them.
Here are 15 signs no one likes you. Don't get mad at me for letting you know, these are the types of things that only your best friends would tell you. The problem is you don't have any of those.
15 You Take Bathroom Selfies
Let's keep this kind of simple for those of you that need more help than others. Don't do this, not under any circumstances. Yeah I get it, there is a mirror in the bathroom, and hey, you are in the bathroom too, so why not take a photo and splash it all over social media? Well, for a couple reasons. For one thing you are in a public bathroom, and not being able to resist taking a photo of yourself a few seconds after you just used it shows a shocking lack of impulse control, but more importantly it shows you to be that cloying desperate-to-impress type that people just don't like. Save your selfies for when you are someplace interesting, or even better, when you are at home. Come on man! Have some dignity for crying out loud.
14 Gang Sign Selfies
Unless you are the ghost of Tupac, or Aaron Hernandez, stay far away from this one if you want people to like you. The gang sign in the photo is used by two vastly different types of people. Sometimes, very rarely, the gang sign is used by people who are actually in gangs, that are letting you know they should not be messed with. The other type of person is someone that is not in a gang, and is purely trying to make it look like they should not be messed with. Most of the people in the latter group are white, spend a lot of time at the mall, and usually are found throwing down their gang signs in their mom's attic, or before they are about to eat a big burrito at Chipotle. If your goal is to have people laugh at you, then by all means throw down.
13 You Let Everyone Know About Your Workout
Hey man, this article is all about honesty right? So let's be honest. No one cares about your workout. Stop talking about it maybe? We don't care that you worked on your back yesterday, and today is leg day, and that you had a hard day at work, but you are going to the gym anyway, "no pain, no gain" all of that stuff. We really do not care, not even a little bit. This is part of the reason that no one likes you. If you want to go to the gym, just go. You do not have to tell everyone about how you are going, or how it went when you were there. You do not have to post photos to your social media to show how much progress you have made. In fact, you don't have to do anything at all other than just go to the gym, because you feel like it.
12 You Give Advice To People Better At Things Than You
For the love of all that is holy, do not be this guy. Just don't. Wait a minute, I almost forgot, people don't like you, so you actually probably are this guy. If you don't quite know what I mean by this, let me give you some examples. If you don't have your driver's license, don't tell your friend that works on cars how to drive. If you have never had sex don't tell your hound of a buddy how to pick up a girl, if you are overweight don't tell your friend that works out how to lose weight. In fact, just shut up until you get this whole concept. There is almost nothing that makes someone like you less than being a know it all blowhard. The truly sad thing is, you are not impressing anyone, and I mean that literally.
11 You Use Instagram More Than A Chick Does
We know, Smartphones are cool and you like to impress people, so you spend a lot of time on Instagram. Did you ever notice though that most of the people that are posting on there as much as you are all chicks? Did you ever think that might be because it is not all that cool to spend all your time on it if you are a guy? So basically this is sort of an allegory for your whole life- guys think you are lame because you are trying too hard to impress chicks on Instagram, and girls think you are lame because you are constantly all over their feed and putting up totally lame photos of you eating brunch or at the beach. Are you starting to sense a trend yet? The stuff you do that you think is impressing people just makes them think you are a total dub.
10 You Are A Bad Tipper
Oh hey Playa, what is up? There you are hitting up the bar, or the club, or even the local diner, and you are ready to impress with how cool you are. The only thing is though, you aren't cool at all. People that act rude to waitresses or bartenders are always the worst. In fact if I go out with someone and they are snappy with the staff I know that there is something off about them. But even worse are the people that tip badly. 15% is the absolute minimum, and even that makes me suspicious. If you are out on a date and trying to be all cool and pick up the check and then leave a bad tip? Not cool, not at all. There are going to be a few people at that point that do not like you- one is going to be the waitress and one is going to be the woman that you took out, assuming she has any class.
9 You Wear Too Much Cologne
Hey man, you know all those ads that you see where a guy is not having any luck with the ladies, then all of a sudden he puts on cologne and it is like he is Hugh Hefner at the Playboy Mansion with women crawling all over him? Well, those are ads for a reason. The stone cold truth of the matter is, most colognes smell awful and most guys put on way too much of it. When you go talk to a hot chick after putting on too much cologne you might as well wear a sign around your neck that says "I am a clueless bro, run as fast as you can." I know you think that the cologne gives you a leg up on the competition, but the harsh reality is that the opposite is true. Wearing all of that cologne is just another of the many reasons that no one likes you.

8 You Brag On Your Impressive Friends
Now this one is a tad confusing for those guys that people don't like. It is literally a Catch-22 situation. The thing is that deep down inside, the guy knows people don't like him and is insecure about it, so he brags a lot. He does not just brag about himself, because he knows he isn't enough, so he brags about all the cool people he knows and hangs out with. It could be that he has rich friends, or that he has famous friends, or that his last girlfriend was a model. You get the picture. Blah, blah, blah. This might seem like a good plan to get people to like you, but like everything else on this list it really just makes people wish that the guy would just shut up. No one cares about how you and your super cool buddy are going to go out on a boat this weekend with a bunch of hot chicks. I mean that. No one cares.
7 You Tell Everyone About Cheating On Your Girlfriend
All right, so this one is a little complicated. It is not cool to cheat on your girlfriend, we should all know that, but we are not talking about the guys that cheat and recognize it as something that is wrong, that they keep a secret, and maybe tell one of two close friends. No, the reason we don't like you is that you not only cheat on your girlfriend, then you tell everyone about it like it is supposed to be cool, or funny, or something. This is just one more nail in the coffin for you as far as people liking you goes. You were lucky enough to get a girlfriend in the first place, and now you are not only cheating on her but expecting to get high fives for it? Cheating does not make you interesting, dude, it just is another reason not to like you.
6 You Are Late All The Time
After reading a lot of these other stories on this list, this one might not seem like that big of a deal, but oh it is. I had a buddy at one point that was cool enough, but every single time we were supposed to hook up I ended up showing up on time and sitting there until he showed up- sometimes 45 minutes later. This may seem minor, but it actually says a lot about a person. If you are going to keep your friend, or even worse your date, sitting around while you do whatever, and then show up super late that shows that you are only thinking about yourself, and guess what, that is not a good quality. If you have enough bad qualities sooner or later people are not going to like you, which is exactly what happened to you.
5 You Are A Beer Snob
Wait a minute, how can this be? Craft beer is on the rise, and there is a new brew pub, or sometimes ten new brew pubs, in every town out there. But hang on now. There is a big difference between the guy that likes a good beer and goes to the local brew pub, and the guy that has to tell you everything about the kind of beer he is drinking and acts like the whole thing is "Oh so cool." Listen dude, no one cares, and you talking on and on about things like "mouthfeel" and "cask conditioning" makes everyone around you want to punch you in the face. In fact have you ever been punched in the face? If not, it is kind of amazing, because no one likes you. Forgive me if I have mentioned that once or twice before.
4 You Check In Everywhere On Facebook
I know you are probably getting the point by now, although since no one likes you, and haven't for a long time, one would think that maybe you would have gotten the point a long time ago. And the point is, stop trying to act cool and impress people. One of the biggest ways that people make fools out of themselves doing this is the good old Facebook check in. Oh hey, look I am at this trendy club, now I am at this really cool dive bar, and look I am tagging all the other people I am with right now. While the idiot doing this is under the false impressions that they are being cool, the harsh reality is that everyone else is sitting at home chilled out watching Netflix and not jealous at all. Why are they not jealous about being out with you? Seriously? No one likes you. Pay attention.
3 You Brag About How Nice You Are
Here is the thing. Nice people do nice things for one reason, and one reason only. They do them to be nice. They do not do nice things so they can tell people what nice things they do all the time. In fact, as soon as you start blabbing around how you gave that homeless guy a dollar, or went over to mow your mom's lawn just because, then all of a sudden it does not seem like you did it to be nice, it seems like you did it so other people would think you were nice. Now let's face facts, as hard as it might be. If you really were nice, people would like you, but they don't, which leads me to believe all the so called "nice" things you do are just for show.
2 You Think Driving Like An Idiot Is Cool
Now, since people don't like you, the fact is that you probably do not have a whole lot of people in your car with you when you drive around. On the rare occasion that you actually do have someone get in the car with you, please try and not drive like a total maniac, all right? It is just another sign of your insecurity and your need to impress. Speeding around, swerving back and forth between lanes, and screaming death threats at other drivers is just plain not cool, not even a little bit. In fact, no one likes people that do this. You may at some point find some other idiot in your car that thinks it is fun to drive that way, but guess what? No one likes him either. And sooner or later you two won't like each other as well.
1 Your Name Is Kanye West
We would be most remiss in our duty if we did not share this one last thing. We have to admit that this was not the most scientific study of all time. While it is almost 100% certain that if you have most, or even some of the other 14 things on this list then almost everyone will not like you, there are still some people that could do all of these things and still be liked by a few people. The only thing that is 100% certain as a reason that no one likes you is that you are actually Kanye West. He is literally totally foolproof as being someone that is just universally disliked by all. I mean come on! Look, even Kim Kardashian, maybe she loves him, that is up for debate, but there is no way that she actually likes him. Nobody does.

we are looking for the copywriter who could write the story for the promotonial blog (the lenght is one or one and the half A4). This blog must be written considering to the story below. Story should have a "personal feel", the style/words used should not sound as an advertisement but like a real blog post of a guy who found a solution that changed his life and now he's sharing about it with everyone with the idea that others could do the same.
Here is the short summary of the long story:
The guy, age 20-25, living i NY, who used to be a loser all his life is sharing his experience with other guys who are lack of women attention. The point of the story that this guy from loser who never had a girlfriend, become the really attractive guy whos dating girls even out of his league. The reasons of huge changes are kind of supplements who changed his body from chubby to ripped within only one month, and audio e-book who helped to learn the technique of approaching women. The first product advertised is a supplement that comes in pills. It has a free trial option, meaning that the buyer just has to pay only $2 dollars for shipping for a 14 day Free Trial. The second product - Free Audio CDs are only a free trial that cost a few dollars for shipping. Both products are aimed at US market. Will be advertised online for 18-34 year old male audience.
The story must have clear segments, as below:
Prestory: the problem of being loser and having no girlfriend
The reason for changes: some kind of inspiration to change his life. (up to you attractive girl at his work he wants to date with or something else)
The time of changes: learning about supplements and e-book and visible results after using it. (The way how this guy learned about these tricks is up to you as well: he could hear about it on the tv, read on the mans magazine, get the trick from his ripped neighbour or something like that.)
Life after: being attractive, self-confidence ant dating all the girls he wants.
The story must convey the emotions this guy could feel being Mr. Loser and lack of women attention and self-confidence after the changes of his life. Sharing the experience with other guys is one of the requirement as well.
Despite our suggestions for the story, we want to hear your ideas on the structure and story itself. The only thing that's important: it still should be a blog of a 20-something guy who didn't have a girlfriend in his life but after using both products he can get any women he wants.
So we would like to know the price and the terms of your work with this blog story. If you've done any similar work(blog stories), please include samples for our review. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

I'm very interested in this project. Not only do I live up to all the necessary qualifications but the brief sounds really interesting. The story that you want is one that will come very naturally to me. You see, this is basically my story. I too had troubles with women when I was younger given that I was obese, non-athletic and lacked confidence and know-how when it comes to attracting the opposite sex. Today, I'm in great shape and have no problems with confidence or the opposite sex. Contact me if you want this blog to feel genuine and true because this story is my story.

Yes there is, because the reference objects in the case of FOM are the *Java* objects. And these are the ones we use everywhere in Java code. I may have not said the same thing for objects that have no commonly-used Java counterpart (e.g. a WebContinuation), but this isn't the case here. > Although it really doesn't matter much to me since I don't use Cocoon, > it appears to me to be in the interest of the Cocoon community to > reimplement the "unrestricting" of the FOM without using direct Rhino > wrappers of o.a.c.environment.Request, etc Java interfaces.

Bored people quit. If your team members stop learning and improving, it won't be long before they seek that satisfaction elsewhere. Upcase is full of the real-world knowledge that developers crave.
thoughtbot has created some of the most popular open source software in the Rails ecosystem, including FactoryBot, Paperclip, and Bourbon. On Upcase, your team will be able to work directly with the thoughtbot developers and designers who make these tools.
If simple features have been taking longer, you're probably battling technical debt. We can teach your team how to escape. You'll appreciate the predictable estimates, and your team will love working in a clean codebase.
For development teams who are looking to continue learning new skills, stay on top of best practices, and keep up to date with new technologies.
We have had thirty engineers enrolled in Upcase for the past two years. The program has continued to provide thought-provoking content for those full-stack developers who are intent upon keeping their skills current.
There are a lot of training solutions out there, but Upcase is led by thoughtbot, so I know the stuff we're learning is the absolute best of the best practices. When I'm teaching junior devs, there's often a lot of conflicting information out there on how to do something, so Upcase helps me establish "better" best practices.
I am really loving Upcase. The most valuable part for me was how I was able to dissect "upcase" app and see how it was built. Having the access to the repo and seeing how codes were structured was such a priceless lesson.

Search engine optimization (SEO) as we (at least in the trenches) have known is over. It's not dead, but it's evolving. Those white hat, but passé, tactics of directory listings and link building, in mass, are gone; as is mass content syndication, and these are good things. Google is trying to do its job of providing the best search results based on what people are looking for, and while they want the user to explore more options based on their search, they are still committed to providing the best options.
So while Google is doing its job, we in the SEO trenches need to do ours. While SEO used to be a series of on- and off-page tactics that worked somewhat independently from other marketing efforts, these efforts now needs to play nicely with content development efforts, mobile marketing initiatives, and more than ever, social media marketing.
Content Marketing
Developing interesting, engaging content that can help users make decisions is still paramount to successful search ranking. But the emphasis is still – and should always be – writing for the user and not the search engine. Don't follow any formula for keyword density, just use them as you would in speech, and try and add some level of value to what you develop. You don't have to be on the cutting edge of your industry to add value. As I pointed out in a recent post there are four basic steps to building content marketing success:
Mobile Search
The PC or desktop is slowly losing ground, or disappearing, in favor of mobile devices, with the most important mobile device that SEOs need to consider is the smartphone. Now more than ever people on the go are looking for things, exploring options, and making purchasing decisions (at least in the consumer space) on their phones. The mobile experience has to be rich and it has to be fast. In fact, Google recently announced that they will begin demoting search results for mobile sites that don't provide a quality experience.
Analyze your Google Analytics and see which devices are driving traffic to your site today. Chart that traffic against the same month last year and the year before that. See a trend? If you're in B2B that trend may be growing slowly and depending on the cost of your product or solution, and the length of your sales cycle, you may have some time before mobile becomes an imperative (though it likely still will). If you're a retail establishment or a consumer products company you'll likely see the trend line growing more aggressively. Use this as a barometer for when you'll need to take mobile site development and SEO seriously. Of course you could always take it seriously now and beat some of your competition to the punch, but then I'll let you make that decision.
Social Media Marketing
Simply put… social shares, content interaction on social platforms, and 'likes' and its equivalent, are driving search engine results success. Google + followers and interaction is helping companies increase their rankings on Google and likewise Facebook is doing the same for these companies on Bing. It's the new reality that SEO and social are forever linked and in fact more and more people are using the term 'social SEO' to define this link.
Social SEO goes beyond just sharing and interacting; rather it's a hotbed of conversation that brands need to listen to. Listening to what people are saying about your brand, industry, the buzz can inform decisions on what content to create, how to adjust your website, your social media contribution and more.
Here are some statistics from combination of the Global Web Index Study and Gigaom that make the social media marketing argument pretty compelling:
So what does all this mean? Well if you're an SEO provider it's time to change the way you think, strategize, and implement your SEO plan. If you're an organization that is trying to broaden your search share, then it's time to start thinking beyond your main website to mobile and social platforms to build success.

2015 Spin Clinic
Our 2015 Spin Clinic was a huge success with close to 100 participants! This is a once a year event held in August in the Dundee area. Classes are taught by staff and performers of Allegiance Color Guard. Participants range between 3rd grade all the way through college age. It's a great "Back to School" opportunity for students looking to brush up on their color guard skills, discover new techniques, and learn some fun choreography!
Auditions for Allegiance Winter Guard are held in September each year, therefore, attending the Spin Clinic is also a great idea for those looking to be considered for membership in our teams.
Check back soon for more details and plan to join us in August, 2016!

Good Omens was Summerland's quintessential coffeehouse. Located across from the entrance of Summerland Middle School, it was three minutes North of Main Street (walking).
Good Omens' wanted to portray a unique look with regards to their online presence. They wanted to appeal to the younger, more "hip" crowd, but not scare away any age group.
We incorporated various design techniques to pull off a design and online experience that proved to be both easily navigated and appeal to a younger generation (who use smart phones as their primary internet device). Good Omens was a great place to get work done and our favourite location for meeting clients.
Good Omens was a lot more than a coffee shop!
Jason made very inspiring food for his customers far beyond that of any other coffee shop. We enjoyed working on all aspects of this project, and consuming the great variations of food and drinks offered at the Good Omens coffee shop. Our inspiration was fuelled by their coffee and delicious treats!

I'm starting a new section of the blog-o-rama in the coming weeks for product reviews and giveaways. This is crazy exciting to me because I am a huge (HUGE!) proponent of telling the world when you love something. And because I have no talent in the secret-keeping department (unless of course, the secret is yours, then I'm a vault. But if it's my secret, fahgeddabahdit), I'm totally going to spill the beans. Right. Now. And tell you what's in store in the coming weeks.
First, because I love love love Happy Baby Company (speaking of secrets, no secret there), I'm doing a product review with them for a Planet Wise wet bag. Woo hoo! What's way more exciting...not only do I get to review it for all of you, but I got one to give away to one of my faithful readers!
But wait, there's more.
I also just heard from the folks at Rockin' Green, my new favorite detergent. And they are allowing me to give away one of their 45/90 bags to an imanimama.com reader in the scent and formula of your choice.
Um, yes please.
Are you as excited as I am? So stay tuned, friends. So much good stuff is a-comin' your way.
Now go eat a burger or some potato salad or something.
