The National Union of Students (NUS) announced today that itâs demand a better future campaign would be focusing on Higher Education in the lead up to the upcoming Federal election. The NUS has stated that they would be campaigning on four key issues. The Nus will be encouraging all parties to support.
The National Union of Students (NUS) have declared that a national day of action will be held on May the 2nd to protest the federal governmentâs refusal to support university students. The day of action will be apart of the wider âDemand a Better Futureâ campaign.
NUS claim that since 1995 the federal government has reduced funding to tertiary education by 7%. This represents a decrease of $1550 for each and every university student.
The Federal government has released figures which show that the number of international students studying in Australian education institutions has risen by almost 40 thousand students or about 11%. Asia is the main source of international students with over one fifth of students all international students arriving from China. The majority of international students are studying at tertiary level at universities such as Flinders University.
The national peak student body has welcome Kevin Ruddâs promise of a ârevolution in educationâ. National Union of Students president, Michael Nguyen, stated âIt is good to see the Australian Labor Party prioritising education⦠â¦the National Union of Students supports the ALPâs pledge to increase funding to the sector and awaits to see the details of the policy.â
Universities around Australia are being forced to discontinue funding grants and subsidies to student who are struggling financially. The passage of VSU has wiped out many services for students. Emergency interest free loans and textbook subsidies are the latest to go. Students seeking help will now be directed to community and faith based charity organisations such as the Salvation Army. Students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and remote areas were previously the highest users of financial help and will undoubtedly be the hardest hit by the changes.
Professor Iain Hay, Head of the School of Geography, Population and Environmental Management at Flinders University has been announced as the recipient of the Prime Minister's Award for the Australian University Teacher of the Year.

Atom and Heat Wave in Chains in New "Legends of Tomorrow" Photos
The next stop on the time-traveling adventure of "DC's Legends of Tomorrow" is 1986, with members of the squad captured and imprisoned in a Russian gulag in the midst of the Cold War. In 15 new images released by The CW, the team does not seem to love the '80s — especially Heat Wave (Dominic Purcell) and Atom (Brandon Routh), both seen in chains.
"DC's Legends of Tomorrow" airs 8 p.m. Thursdays on The CW. Here's the official synopsis of "Fail-Safe":
THE TEAM ORCHESTRATES A PRISON BREAK – After some of the Legends are captured and thrown into a Russian gulag during the height of the Cold War of 1986, Snart (Wentworth Miller) leads the team in an elaborate escape plan to free their comrades. However, Rip (Arthur Darvill) gives Sara (Caity Lotz) a secret side mission that could prove not only to be a liability, but fatal to the team. Dermott Downs directed the episode written by Beth Schwartz & Grainne Godfree (#105).

The house was good. Could use some maintenance. The upstairs air conditioner struggles and can not keep the temp below 80 during the day. Some boards on the deck are loose. The house has some mold in bathrooms, shower and air vents. Property needs a good
cleaning. Happy as usual with Coastal Joe. No worries there.

Great location large home with enough room to spread out. Really useful ground floor mother in law suite. Loved the community pool,fresh landscaping and proximity to the fabulous beach. House was clean and well equipped we just loved it. Deck could do

We definitely love our repeat guests! I'm so happy you had a great time at Pottery Barn! With all of this sunshine, you couldn't have picked a better week to relax at the beach!

a guest from Garfield, KY recommends this vacation rental
Very nice location and house. House and yard need some TLC. The decking is very splintery and needs to be sealed. Several boards and railings on the steps were loose. I would recommend additional lighting in the rear of house by the steps. At night, it's
very hard to even see the steps. The landscaping is bare and much less manicured as compared to the other homes in the subdivision. Overall, very nice place in a wonderful community. I think the description of the property should clearly indicate the suite
on ground floor is only accessible from exterior entrance and not from the remainder of the house. Loved dealing with Coastal Joe's!!
Thank you for letting us know! It's quite a different experience to actually stay in the homes, so we definitely rely on our guests to let us know if anything needs some extra attention. Your suggestions will be be given to the owner, and I will make sure the ground floor suite is more accurately described. See you next year!

Shirley J from Tuscaloosa, AL recommends this vacation rental
This is the third year we have stayed at Pottery Barn and the size fits our family. Last year we noticed some issues with the spindles on the outside stairs that were loose. I assumed they would be fixed a year later. They were not. This could be an issue
with small children falling through. The microwave was rusty and the air upstairs did not seem to be cooling well. They did update the flooring the the bedrooms on the main floor which was a plus. We enjoy staying there and hope they will make those repairs.
Thank you for the feedback! We are happy that you were pleased with the new flooring. Maintenance has addressed the issue with the spindles and they have all been secured. We hope to see you again in 2018!

Marilyn L from Dallas, GA recommends this vacation rental
This was our 9th vacation on CSB and I can't imagine us going anywhere else for our spring getaway! Pottery Barn house was a great house for a large family. Kitchen was very well stocked. Furniture was comfy. Loved the screened porch in the mornings for
coffee. Having the community pool a few steps away was a big plus as well. With that said, there were a couple of issues. Ice maker in main floor kitchen had mold in it and we had to clean it out. Also mold on the kitchen sink. The ground floor unit bath needed
a GOOD cleaning. There was mold in the shower. Also need a broom and dust pan on ground floor because of the sand tracked in from concrete pad. The ground floor is a little awkward due to the fact that you have to go outside to get to the main floor. Also,
the kitchen is on the other side of the garage. It is fine but that should be disclosed in the description. Also, the decks really need some work. The railing on the south side of front porch and the north side of back porch are really loose and could be a
hazard. I also feel you have to wear shoes on the porch (as another guest reviewed) due to nail pops and splinters. I actually had part of a rusty nail that had broken out of a board stick in my flip flop. Even with those problems, I still think with a little
TLC this is a really great rental property. Hopefully these issues will be addressed.
Thank you for your feedback! We will hand this over to our maintenance department and get these issues addressed.

Francine F from Sterling Heights, MI recommends this vacation rental
First time visiting "The Cape" and absolutely fell in LOVE with the area!
The house was perfect for our 2 families (kids ranged from 2-14 years old) and our dogs. It met all of our expectations and some. Only downside were all of the steps to get up into the house (20), which got exhausting unpacking the car & taking the dogs out.
The deck is a little weathered so shoes or sandals would be recommended since there are some nail pop ups. Location was great but remember this is not beach front so views are obstructed, but still a perfect location and short walk to beach & next door to community
Area info...must do Webers Donuts. Get there EARLY (like by 7 - they open at 7:30) and get the fried glazed croissants OMG delish!
St. Joseph State Park - breath taking views of bay & gulf sides. Recommend wearing water shoes on the bay side - millions of thorny sea urchins but kids had a blast snorkeling and finding shells & tons of sand dollars.
Shelling - go to either the tip of the cape which we went to by boat (rental in Port St. Joe) or on the rocks (Gulf side) when you first turn onto the cape - huge shells! Water shoes recommended.
Food...awesome BBQ @ The Sand Bucket. Otherwise we just cooked our own in the beautiful kitchen, which had everything (except a large griddle).
Coastal Joes was great to work with - very easy process & very helpful.
We will definitely return!

We had a family of 7 and 3 dogs staying here and there was lots of room.....really open living. It was located right next to the pool and the boardwalk down to the beach. Loved staying here. The only negative is all of the steps up into the house but we
got used to them after a few times.

This was our second time staying at Pottery Barn. The bunk room is perfect for the kids and the kitchen is great for family gatherings. The community pool being located right next door is perfect for a quick swim after coming in from the beach. Overall
I was very satisfied. The front door had a lock issue that we really never got resolved, but we just used the other door. The location is fine, of course the view is just okay since it is two blocks from the beach. For the price and the size we love staying

The location of the property was very nice and was stocked with everything needed for a week at the beach. The bed in the master bedroom needs to be updated. To pay this amount for a vacation, you should have good sleeping conditions. The property needs
to be thoroughly cleaned. The toilets were very dirty.
Thank you for your feedback, Kelly. The owner was made aware of the upstairs master bedroom mattress and has ordered a new one.
Sean W from Alpharetta, GA recommends this vacation rental
Location is great, 1 min walk to beach, 10 seconds to pool.
View from the upper deck are awesome.
Lots of space
Kitchen was big
AC in the main house was perfect(100 degrees out every day)
Water pressure was good
AC in bottom bedroom/extra apartment was so so at best.
Smell in the back room where extra fridge was located would knock out a horse.
The WIFI cable had some issues, not the houses or managements fault , They did get right on it and get it fixed. Yes you are at the beach for the beach but when you have a 3 year old and three 8 year olds.(friends and family who play and fight like family)
a little TV babysitter is needed.
Overall very happy and would recommend the house.

Kay A from Woodstock, GA recommends this vacation rental
We enjoyed our stay at the Pottery Barn and the Sea Grass Community.The house was beautiful and well stocked. We loved the wrap around deck space and the screened in porch. The boardwalk to the beach was great. Only a short walk. We also enjoyed having
the pool close by.
The description of the in-law suite was misleading. We expected the kitchen to be connected to the bedroom area not at the back of the garage. The kitchen had a bad oder and was not really usable. However this did not create a problem as we did not need to
use it. The description of the house should have mentioned that there is no inside access from the in-law suite to the main house. This did create minor issues when it was raining. Having to walk outside in the rain to get the the bedroom was inconvenient.

11 family members (6 adults and 5 children) visited Cape San Blas July 19-26 for the first time and loved it. Coastal Joe took care of every problem we had at Pottery Barn. One of the coffee makers did not work but they gave us a new one. The oven quit
working and they did everything they could to take care of the problem promptly. (We were able to get a toaster oven to use until the part came in to repair the oven.) This was a great family vacation and we will definitely return to Cape San Blas. We loved
the short walk to the beach and the community pool right next door. We enjoyed scalloping, riding bikes, and lots of fresh shrimp.
Deborah M from Diberville, MS recommends this vacation rental
1. The grill just about didn't make it through the week.. It needs to be replaced.
2. There is a snake nest or hole underneath the main staircase by the back door to the room downstairs. My husband thinks that the snakes are copperheads. That needs immediate attention.
3. The bathrooms were ok clean. The master bath shower needs to have some Tilex sprayed all over it. It was the worst one in the house
4. The dishwasher doesn't work and doesn't clean. The dishes and silverware were filthy. We ended up wahsing everything by hand.
5. Some rusted flashing fell down on the screen porch. That needs to be fixed.
7. The paint on the Adirondak chairs on one of the porches rubbed off on my neice's legs. She did have sunscreen on. That needs to be checked out.
6. Other than that, everything was good.

Susan M from loretto, TN - Tennessee recommends this vacation rental
The Pottery barn is a nice house but is just not set up for a lot of people. only 1 bathroom on the main floor for 8 people was hard so it was a constant going up and down to the upper floor or to the outside apt. for an extra shower. The basement is only
a good set up for a childless couple because there is no inside access to this apt., we had 2 11 year old boys in there which they loved (because no one could see what they were doing!) which is why I wasn't very fond of it. The dishwasher was very poor and
we ended up handwashing almost all the dishes.The Master suite was awesome, but had to take chairs from there into the den for enough seating for rainy day movie watching! The location is great, so over all with these few exceptions it was good.

Overall, a good trip. The property fit our family well but had two problems. First, the dryer may not be properly vented. It took forever to dry towels. Second, the first floor bedroom is very warm. I understand that it may have been an after inspection
addon and that the AC may have been compromised but there needs to be more volume of cooling air into the bedroom.

were perfect and clean. We didn't want to leave. Maybe next time we will stay for 2 weeks. THANK YOU COASTAL JOE!!

The home was nice but needed some maintenance done - power washing outside and fix ceiling leaks. The home sleeps 10-12 but only has enough seating in living room for 8 or nine. A love seat in living area would have been more
comfortable. The home also listed kitchette in lower level but not attached to bedroom. Also there was no table or chairs to sit and very few dishes.

Felt like home. We seriously didn't want to leave. Very Spacious home. We all loved that huge comfortable sofa. lol Cool winds at night. Me and my wife left the doors open in our master bedroom at night so we could hear the winds off the ocean.
Kids loved the pool. Very clean.
Highly recommended home. We will return.
Only negative, not that you wanted it is to possibly have housekeeping wash plates and glasses before each new stay. Lipstick was on some of the glasses. Prior renters obviously said the heck with washing their own dishes before they left. No biggie though,
we through them in the dish washer and voila.
Absolutely loved The Pottery Barn. Sorry for the one negative. We also loved the state park 3 miles up the road. We brought our jet ski's and had a blast daily on those. Our dog loved the beach. Her first time. She smiled the entire time. lol
We also shot video of us at the beach if anyone wants to see--> /

Rachel Perrin R from Tallahassee, FL recommends this vacation rental
As a lifelong Floridian, and former resident of Gulf County, I have high expectations when I take a trip to the shore. The Pottery Barn was perfect in every way. The house was decorated beautifully. The kids loved playing the board games from the game
closet. The house is right next door to the pool, and a 2 minute walk on the board walk to a gorgeous beach. The Tradin' Post store was a one minute drive, and had bait, odds and ends that we forgot, and ice cream for the kids. One afternoon we made the 5
minute drive to the state park and the boys played in the bay and caught a bucketful of crabs. The house had an ample supply of beach chairs, toys, and the cart allowed us to wheel things back and forth with ease. The kitchen had everything that we needed
to cook wonderful meals each night, with the exception of the evening that we went to the Indian Pass Raw Bar (a 10 minute drive) and enjoyed snow crab, oysters, shrimp, and a wonderful local band. The owner and the management company were all friendly and
very accomodating. We plan to return to the Pottery Barn for future trips to Cape San Blas.

The house is laid out well and very functional. We had 12 family members there. 6 were our grandchildren. Every one was able to spread out and do their own thing in comfort. With the pool next door and the beach a couple hundred yards away. Who could ask
for more. We are already planning to make a return trip next year.

a guest from Tomball, TX recommends this vacation rental
The house was perfect for our families to vacation together (10 people). My father in law loves to cook and enjoyed cooking all of our meals in the very well stocked and spacious kitchen. We were all able to eat around the large dinner table together.
We spent time on all the porches. We enjoyed playing games on the table on the screened in porch at night. We watched beautiful fireworks displays from the porch facing the ocean. We spent our days at the beach... The downstairs hose was a lifesaver getting
all the sand off of us before entering the house!
Overall, it was one of the best vacations we have taken and will definitely consider it again!!

Just a few inconveniences, refrigerator stopped working, sign posted to keep air on 76 degrees or you will be charged, this was ok during the day, but nights were unconfortable. Don't have to deal with these issues at home, didn't want to on vacation.
Other than this, stay was wonderful, location was great, we fished, kayaked, went to pool which was in a great location. We cooked every night, loved all the windows and view from the kitchen.

This was our second stay at Sea Glass, it was like coming home. The people at Coastal Joe, are always wonderful to us. If we ever need anything they are right on top of it. We love Suzy, and Brian. They are really super people. We love the Cape so very
much, if I win a lottery I am going to buy a place there, you know you have had a wonderful vacation when you don't want to go home. If anyone is looking for a great place call Coastal Joe, they are terrific.

We truly did enjoy our vacation - it is a wonderful house and location. My 4 yr old grandson didn't want to leave!
Only problem we had was the ground floor bedroom had no cable box so my parents couldn't watch TV. Also - I love the big windows in the living area but you can't see the TV very well during the day because of the glare - don't want to hide that view though!
Would love to come back to Sea Glass! Thanks (to the owner)for sharing your home with us.
Jane H from Jeffersonville, KY recommends this vacation rental
If you ever wanted to go to paradise this is the place. Cape San Blas, is like a little part of the world that is somewhat untouched as far as commercial things, this is what we really enjoyed. We also enjoyed taking our bikes and riding the bike route
that started in front of our street and went all the way to the State Park. The owner of this house takes pride in their home and we wanted to take just as good care of it as if it were our own. It was beautiful, we did not lack anything that we needed in
the kitchen during our stay. We would love to return to Seaglass and the Cape San Blas area and I have recommended it to everyone I know.

Matthew R from Metairie, LA recommends this vacation rental
My wife and I stayed at the Seaglass house on our honeymoon. Everything was wonderful, except for an issue caused by Coastal Joe management on the day we arrived. My uncle and aunt went through a lot of time and expense to put together a large welcome
basket for my wife and I since we were arriving late at the house. We got in around 10pm and we did not have any food or drinks in anticipation of my Aunt's basket. The rental agent was supposed to leave the basket in our house the night we arrived. Not only
did that person wait until the following morning to drop it off, but then dropped it off at the wrong house. We never saw our basket. This was extremely disappointing to my wife and I and especially to my aunt and uncle. Hopefully, better management will prevent
something like this from upsetting future vacationers that visit Coastal Joe properties.
We are very sorry about the situation that happened with Matt and his bride. It was an unfortunate mistake due to mis-communication in our office and we realize the effect it had on the couple. Although nothing can replace the sentimental value of the basket that was to be delivered we did try to make up by purchasing a gift certificate, to cover an entire dinner, at one of the nicer restaurants in the area. We realized we could never replace the basket but thought we could at least do something to show that we were very sorry for what happened. We have improved our communication process in dealing with special requests like this if they ever come up again.
Donna H from Lexington, KY recommends this vacation rental
Being at Cape San Blas was like starring in an episode of "Planet Earth". From one of the many decks on "Seaglass" you can watch and listen to some very interesting birds. With the wave crashing and the birds singing you could not help but relax. We stayed
in "Seaglass" with 4 adults and 5 children and we never seemed to get in each other's way. The "in-law" suite is like a totally separate unit. Of course, we all managed to be in the kitchen playing games and visiting most of the time we were in the house.
The rest of the time we were enjoying all Cape San Blas has to offer. Don't miss St. Joseph State Park (minutes from the house) the most incredible beach, dunes, shells - the bay with starfish, seahorses and knee deep water forever - and The Lighthouse with
its gigantic shells and crashing waves. I compare Cape San Blas to a less populated Sanibel Island which at Spring Break is a welcome surprise. The house was beautiful and everything the rental information said it would be. I am very picky and vacation as
often as possible and I give "Seaglass" and Cape San Blas a thumbs up!

When it comes to professional tennis and sports in general, Wimbledon is one of those events that people have a special interest in. It's almost like the Masters of the PGA Tour. There's a certain historic feeling associated with it.
Roger Federer, the king of Wimbledon, is in the quarterfinals again along with superstar and number one ranked player in the world Novak Djokovic, the hometown hero Andy Murray, and a new face replacing the familiar Spanish one we're used to.
Swiss star Stan Wawarinka is not your household name, but in the tennis world, "Stan the Man" or the "Stanimal" is nothing new. He's fresh off a French Open win over Novak Djokovic, and is one match away from possibly rekindling the newest and most intriguing rivalry in tennis.
A match between Andy Murray and Roger Federer would be interesting simply for the fact that England loves Andy and Roger. Both are All England Club royalty, but only one is a local hero. How will the crowd react? Only time will tell. The draw has really fallen into place for this event and we are very close to two amazing semifinal matchups including the "new" big four.

I think I can say that I'm getting a little bit better at taking pictures of the dogs, especially now that I know the settings on my camera and what does and does not work as well for me. Now I know I need to prepare for an action shot and set it up as much as possible ahead of time or else I end up with dogs that are just a blurr. But the picture above is my favorite of Foyle. He loves to sit on the couch and gaze out the window to see what's going on in the front yard and I just happened to catch him at a passive, gentle moment. His sweet face and gentle attitude comes through and it makes me want to kiss his precious face all over.
I am in awe of Amanda Jones' dog photography and the simplicity of black dogs against a white background has tempted me more than once to set up an appointment next time she is in town. Hmmm, photos or 7 acupuncture appointments....photos or 7 months of dog food....photos or....you get the idea.
But, there's a great photography tutorial by Gary Donahue on his blog GAD's Ramblings that covers tips and tricks on how to photograph a black dog. I'd like to add that it helps to take pictures when your dog is clean and shiny, or in the case of the picture above, wet! The reflection off the fur helps to deepen the shadows and bring out the highlights better. Roll over to GAD's blog for an entertaining perspective of his life with two Newfie's and three girls. The writing is engaging and you'll be laughing by the end especially if you have a Newfie also. My sympathies are with him and his "ferret-dog".
But, back to photography. A few more tips on angling the flash can be found at Pawprints For Life to help bounce light back onto your dog instead of focusing it on one place. I'm also interested in getting the book Pet Photography Now by Paul Walker which covers unique locations, viewpoints, posing and camera settings. Now all I have to do is practice having all 4 dogs stay in one spot at the same time. Right.

If you have been arrested in Maryland for possession or distribution of a controlled dangerous substance (CDS), your life could go seriously downhill. You could face serious jail time, large fines, and even deportation. You could have to live with a public criminal record that could have adverse effects for the rest of your life. You could lose the right to have your children live with you.
Here are some common questions people ask when charge with a drug related offense:
Am I going to jail?
Often times a period of incarceration can be suspended. If you have an attorney who knows the system and can negotiate with the State's Attorney, you may even be able to avoid a permanent public record of your arrest and/or conviction. There are also diversion programs or "Drug Court" which can be alternatives to jail or even conviction.
Does it matter if I have a prior record?
Yes. If this is your first arrest/conviction, the court can often be convinced to reduce your charges, or even give you a "probation before judgment" (PBJ), which can later be expunged (the public record of your arrest/conviction gets essentially erased). If you do have a prior record, the court is less likely to be lenient with you. Either way, it is important that you have an attorney fight for your rights.
Do I have to speak to the police or the State's Attorney?
No. You have a Constitutional right to refuse to speak to them, and to have an attorney advise you if you have been arrested and charged with a crime. It will most probably NOT help your situation to speak with them.
Do I need a lawyer?
The chances are hiring an attorney will help you achieve a better result. An attorney knows what to expect and can likely better prepare your defense, including getting you involved in programs that may convince the court to give you another chance. Attorney Michael Cochran has experience defending drug possession and distribution charges, and has appeared in Baltimore City and County, Howard County, Montgomery County and Frederick County District and Circuit Court.
If you have been arrested for a drug offense in Baltimore or anywhere in Maryland, call Michael at 240.463.2512 or send an email to email@example.com

savory butter pie crust
savory butter pie crust makes one double-crust 9″ pie, two single-crust 9″ pies, or one deep-dish pie {original recipe by melissa slate}
- 1 3/4 c all purpose unbleached flour
- 3/4 c whole wheat or whole spelt flour
- 1 t salt
- 16 T/1 c/2 sticks unsalted butter, frozen and grated (yup, with a cheese grater!)
- 1/4 c ice water (i like to use a 1/2 c measuring cup with a few ice cubes, topped with water)
in a food processor, fluff the flours with the salt. throw in the grated butter and pulse (in 2 second intervals for about 30-45 seconds) until it's fine and crumbly. think damp sand. you should still be able to see the granules of butter, but you don't want large chunks.
now, a tablespoon at a time, add the water, pulsing (for 2 seconds at a time) as you go. after you've added about 1/4 c stop adding water. pulse until the mixture starts to clump. you don't want it to be dough yet, just clumping! if it hasn't clumped after about 30 seconds of pulsing off and on, add another tablespoon of water. continue pulsing until the dough is mostly stuck together in a few loose & craggy clumps.
dump the clumped dough onto a floured surface (counter, pastry mat) and press/knead until it comes together into a ball. for two-crust pies or two single-crust pies, divide into two even balls. for deep dish, keep it all together. wrap with cling wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours. alternately, wrap extra tightly and freeze until you want to use it!
***for sweet crusts, you can add 1 tablespoon of sugar with the flours and salt. for a lighter crust, use entirely all purpose flour. easy peasy!

Stating intentions aloud helps to confirm our direction in life. But our thoughts are on the move again when Mercury backs into spontaneous Aries at 1:37 pm. Meanwhile, the independent Aquarius Moon reminds us that we can express our individuality while still being part of a larger community.

Strange, Unexplained Solar Influence Over Earth's Radioactive Material Could Herald Solar Flares• Rebecca Boyle via PopSci.com
A mystifying trick of the sun, inappropriately interfering with particles on Earth, could be used as an early-warning system for solar flares, a new study says. With enough warning, satellites, telecommunications infrastructure and even orbiting astronauts can take cover from our star's worst radioactive eruptions.
This all goes back to 2006, when physicists at Purdue, Stanford and other places noticed something that at first defied physical explanation: Radioactive elements were changing their decay rates. This flew in the face of long-accepted physics theory, which held that these rates are constant. Radioactive decay apparently grew more pronounced in winter than in summer, and when scientists went looking for an explanation, they noticed this appeared to correlate with solar flares.
Last year, we learned from Purdue physicist Ephraim Fischbach that this kept happening. He noticed a change in the radioactive decay rate of a manganese isotope, and also tied it to a solar flare that happened a night before. So that meant something came out of the sun, went through the Earth, hit a piece of manganese-54 and changed the rate at which it decays into chromium-54, spewing out ionizing particles. This also happened to an isotope called chlorine-36, in different experiments at different labs. The unusual decay change has happened during 10 solar flares since 2006, and the song remains the same.

No longer a faux pas to serve chilled red wine –
Have you ever wondered if it's okay to drink chilled red wine? I'll admit, I have turned up my nose in the past when a friend's done this faux pas. Who puts red wine in the refrigerator, or dare I say on ice! However, the last few months dealing with some crazy heat waves, I have not been able to enjoy my red wine. That is, until I broke my own cardinal rule…chilling that nice bottle of red.
I've learned that not all red wine is created equal. Dun dun duuuun! So, I've tried a few varietals of red wine chilled and compiled a navigating guide to chilling your next bottle of red.
Which Red Is Best Served Cold
First you need to know which varietal is best served chilled. Light-bodied red wine like a Pinot Noir is typically a better varietal to try. These wines have an excellent mixture of fruit, earthiness and spice that allows the flavor profile to exude even though it's chilled. The only draw back, is finding a well priced and good tasting Pinot that won't break your wallet. Plus your experimenting so try an everyday style pinot noir like Bogle or Gnarly Head.
Another type of red wine that should be served cold is a Lambrusco. I just heard about this Italian wine a couple years ago. Lambrusco is a pretty light-bodied sparkling red wine that is sometimes on the sweeter side. Though I've tried this wine before and serving it cold goes naturally with the Lambrusco its often hard to find a decent one to try. However, the sparkling sweet Lambrusco can sometimes be very refreshing on a hot autumn day. For a better guide on which Lambrusco you should choose read Huffington Post's The Best Lambrusco And Sparkling Red Wines.
Let us know, have you tried another varietal that you've enjoyed chilled?
When Is Too Cold?
A typical refrigerator runs about 35º ferinheight, which is still too cold for even your white wines. Typically, your white wine should be served at about 43º to 50º and your red wine served at 55º to 63º. Most of us do not follow these rules, we just open our bottles and start enjoying.
Unless you have a wine cellar or a wine cooler it'll be difficult to serve your wine at the appropriate temperature. However, I wouldn't worry too much. If you are going through a heat wave stick your wine in the refrigerator, open your wine, pour yourself a glass, and start sipping. By the time you reach the end it will be the perfect temp!
Tools of the Trade
Okay maybe the Guzzle Buddy isn't real, or at least I don't think it is, but there are great products to help keep your wine preserved, chilled and refreshing to the palate. Here are my favorite:
Sometimes you just want one glass and what do you do with the rest of your wine. Stoppers can work for a limited time but what if you could keep your wine for up to a week without losing the wines integrity would you jump on that? I know I would!
2. Corkcicle Air Wine Chiller and Aerator
Chill. Aerate. Pour. It can't get any easier than this! If you are still anti-chilling your red wine this is a good alternative to getting your red wine to the appropriate temp.
If you love wine like I do, investing in a wine cooler is pretty appropriate, though I can never keep it stocked! An electric wine cooler keeps your wine chilled and safe from heat. Nothing is worse then opening up a bottle of wine and having it go rancid because of improper storing.
Please share your favorite ways you enjoy your wine in the comments below!
Happy wine-ing!

Kingston has announced 512GB and 1TB USB 3.0 flash drives, specced at 240MBps reads and 160MBps writes. There are some things left unanswered, though.
For a start, who's going to buy them? While the 1TB drive hasn't been priced yet (it'll be available in March), the 512GB has already been costed at a whopping US$1750. The next question is, who's going to carry something this chunky?
It's looking like the 1TB drive will have the same 72x26.94x21mm dimensions as the 512GB, but still — what's the appeal, when you can get a faster SSD and USB converter for less than half the price, that will more easily slip into your pocket?
Alas, such is the way of tech: someone has to go first so that the prices will eventually come down.

A The strategy was started in 2004 by Tom De Lange and later acquired by GT247.com in 2010. Tom De Lange remains incredibly close to the strategy and continues in his capacity as Chief Investment Officer of Emperor Asset Management.
A There is no minimum investment term but due to the phasing in approach taken by the portfolio manager, it is recommended to leave the funds in for one full year as a minimum.
A Yes you can.
A Complete and sign a gearing amendment form and e-mail it to firstname.lastname@example.com for your request to be reviewed and processed.
A If your returns do not exceed our benchmark of the FTSE/JSE Top 40, no performance fees are payable to Emperor Asset Management. Performance fees are accrued every month and can be positive (if outperformance occurred), or negative (underperformance).
A Performance fees are accrued and deducted every month where outperformance has occurred. Keep in mind that only 20% of this 20% outperformance is deducted by Emperor with the remaining 80% being held in account for periods of underperformance against our benchmark.
A Clients can expect their monthly statements by the 10th of each month.
A Emperor Asset Management executes their market trades through GT247.com. When you become an Emperor client a GT247.com account is opened in your name at the same time. The GT247.com client

A Yes at around R1bn AUM.
A Tom developed this strategy but The Robert Falcon Scott strategy is based on a long-short derivatives quantitative strategy focusing on 140 of the most liquid JSE shares utilizing CFD's with a maximum 2 times leverage. As it is quantitative in nature there is very little discretionary investing taking place, therefore the strategy dictates investment and not Tom. That said, where discretion is applied this is done in conjunction with the investment committee and portfolio managers which sit behind the organisation of which Tom is the Chief Investment Officer.

The major purpose of this book is to present and discuss current thinking, theories, conceptual frameworks, models and promising examples of engaged learning with emerging technologies. Contributions come from distinguished academics in the USA, Canada, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, China, Korea and Singapore. Following from a constructivist orientation, coupled with social cultural dimensions of learning, this volume documents how emerging learning technologies are appropriated into meaningful and engaged learning and instructional situations. The field of learning technologies is grounded on the theoretical constructs of the learning sciences and thus the chapters in this book balance between theory and practice and prepositions and solutions.

Although research emphasizes the importance of integrating technology into the curriculum, the use of technology can only be effective if teachers themselves possess the expertise to use technology in a meaningful way in the classroom. The aim of this study was to assist Egyptian teachers in developing teaching and learning through the application of a particular digital technology. Students were encouraged to work through the process of producing their own digital stories using MS Photo Story, while being introduced to desktop production and editing tools. They also presented, published and shared their own stories with other students in the class. Quantitative and qualitative instruments, including digital story evaluation rubric, integration of technology observation instruments and interviews for evaluating the effectiveness of digital storytelling into learning were implemented to examine the extent to which students were engaged in authentic learning tasks using digital storytelling. The findings from the analysis of students-produced stories revealed that overall, students did well in their projects and their stories met many of the pedagogical and technical attributes of digital stories. The findings from classroom observations and interviews revealed that despite problems observed and reported by teachers, they believed that the digital storytelling projects could increase students' understanding of curricular content and they were willing to transform their pedagogy and curriculum to include digital storytelling.

Search engine marketing is not as easy as it was five or ten years ago. Some say that Google has won the war with search engine marketers.
But we're not throwing the towel yet!
The biggest unknown for marketers is what exactly are the metrics that determine the rankings and what is the weight for each metric. Every marketer tries to find a solution to this puzzle in order to know where to channel his efforts.
After years of testing, we have pinned down few of the metrics that clearly play a big role in determining rankings. One of them is the number and quality of the backlinks. Although what is considered a good link changed over time, it is a consensus among marketers that links are very important and required for good rankings.
We will now focus on page optimization. Having a well optimized website and great content pretty much guarantees you will receive backlinks and mentions from various websites.
There are a lot of on page metrics that influence rankings. One category of metrics are the ones related to your keywords.
You keyword should be:
- preferably present in your domain name
- present in your page title, preferably at the beginning
- present in the page description
- present in alt images and image file names
- present in h1, h2 or h3 headings
- present in the website body
Besides being present, the keywords have to also satisfy other conditions like proximity and density. We all remember the year 2000 ways of doing on page optimization by stuffing keywords in title, description and meta keywords. Yes it was silly but at that time it worked. Now it's not that it doesn't work anymore, but it might even damage your score and affect your rankings negatively. While we don't have the definite keyword density percentage that Google considers optimal, most marketers use 2-3% keywords density in the page body. Title, heading and description will have a much higher keyword density.
While you can calculate the densities by hand, it is recommended to use an website audit tool that can calculate the percentages and suggest you improvements. You can find here a free version of this software.
Besides the keyword related page metrics, our software also gives suggestions related to general website metrics like:
- web page load time
- web page size
- the number of file request on the page
- links to sitemap, robots.txt and schemaorg markup
And since links are very important, the audit tool also gives you an overview of page link analysis and root domain link analysis. This section includes:
- number of links from other websites
- number of links from unique domains
- number of outbound links
- MozTrust page score
- MozRank page score
- Moz Page Authority
Click Here to Start Your Free SEO Audit
In conclusion
It's hard to stay on top of Google algorithm changes but with the use of tools we can quickly detect and correct the biggest issues that prevent us from ranking in search engines. You should continue to change and tweak your page metrics while seeking quality related sources for links.
And let's not forget: content is king.

KOURTNEY Kardashian and Hailey Baldwin might seem like unlikely friends.
However the pair looked as close as sisters as they hit the beach together in Miami.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians, 38, star and the 20-year-old model were soaking up the sun in Florida on Sunday.
Kourtney showed off her beach body in a black bikini.
The mum-of-three hit the waves – but refused to take off her shades.
Kourt was joined by her children on the beach – and it looked as though Hailey made a pretty good nanny.
The blonde beauty – who is the daughter of Stephen Baldwin – was on hand to help educate the kids.
However there was plenty of time for her to appreciate the sand and sea on offer as well.
Hailey stunned in a white bikini and looked delighted to take in the great weather.
It is not the first time Kourtney and Hailey have been spotted hanging out together.
In January 2016, fans of both ladies were surprised to see them out together in West Hollywood.
At the time, it had been suggested Kourtney had enjoyed a fling with Canadian pop prince Justin Bieber, 23, just months before.
While Hailey had also been linked to the Cold Water singer weeks before their night of partying.
In April 2016, Hailey opened up about the speculation about her romance with Bieber.
"I don't want attention out of dating somebody. Texts started coming through, crazy phone calls…it's hard to date somebody in this industry," she told Marie Claire.
"You have to have really thick skin and be very strong. You have to focus on the person and nothing else," she added.
Hailey also opened up about her sensitive nature during the chat.
"I'm the type of person where I let things slide. I push it to the side. And then finally explode every so often, but by myself," she said.
