People like to blog because it is a way for them to express their opinions and thoughts. Everyone has an idea they would like to share with others. The more difficult side of blogging is figuring out how to easily share it in an effective manner. The tips provided here can help you find the best path toward running a blog success.
Don't forget SEO work when it comes to blogging. Your goal, of course, is to get people to your site. Most will likely have to get there through the search engines, so ranking is very important. Choose keywords relevant to your topic, and use them throughout blog posts and titles to boost readership.
Making comments on other blogs can be very helpful in attracting visitors to your blog. If you decide to use Google Reader, it is wise to have another folder within it in order to follow other blogs. Make regular comments on them, whenever you have valuable input.
When you are creating your blog, consider purchasing your own domain name, rather than using a free site. It isn't that expensive to do, and will give your blog a more professional appearance. People will be able to remember it more easily, particularly if the title includes your business name or other words that relate to the subject.
Blog about things people care about. Everyone does daily chores like vacuuming or washing dishes. Without a gimmick or an extremely engaging writing style, stories about boring everyday life won't pick you up any readers. Choose topics that are sure to be interesting. Your goal in writing a blog, after all, is to draw people to your site.
Be real. Don't appear like something who thinks they know everything. Be honest, be transparent, and be available to your readers. This must be done consistently. Having a blog shows a person's individuality. Don't try to reach a state of perfection; simply get better at what you do daily. If you make a mistake, then learn from it, and move on. You are a unique person and that is part of your individuality.
Ask the owners of popular blogs to contribute a guest post to your site. This is a great way to increase the quality of your own blog and generate excellent content. You'll also get more traffic if they tell their own readers about it. You can do this with several people to help you create a more content rich blog.
Make use of images within your posts. Everyone knows that a picture can represent more than mere words. This is particularly true about writing a blog. Often, you will find that images can convey much more than words can alone. Because of this, use images wherever appropriate in your blog.
Always keep up with the feedback that your blog receives, and respond back when it is appropriate. Never let yourself get overly emotional about this process. Even if you choose the perfect topic, and write about it well, some people will have a negative opinion to share. Use any constructive criticisms to help improve your blog. Negative criticism need not make you feel like a failure. Just take it for what it is, post a polite response, and then move on. This projects a level of maturity and, in the end, you will gain readers.
Social Media
Provide easy access to social media links on your blog, so your viewers can follow you. Social media websites such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn can significantly increase the success of your blog, and enhance the recognition you receive as a writer. These platforms provide many options for reaching out and communicating with current and potential followers.
Aim to start a mailing list for your personal blog as quickly as you can. Your list will have more time to grow the sooner you get it started. You can use this list later on to make money. Failure to start your mailing list early is a big mistake, one you really want to avoid making.
As mentioned before, there is a great temptation to get started in blog posting, because everyone has something to share with others. Everyone has a message that they want to share with others. Deciding how to craft your message and communicate it commands many decisions. The advice that was contained in this article was given for you to maximize any advantage you can within your blog, and spreading your particular message.

For over 60 years, there has been an unprecedented cover-up by both the British Establishment and successive generations of historians about the flight of Hitler's Deputy Rudolf Hess to Scotland in May 1941. It has long been dismissed as the misguided attempt of a madman to make contact with a non-existent British peace party.
In November 1095, Pope Urban II called on the Christian rulers and knights of Europe to drive the Muslims from the Holy Land and claim Jerusalem back for Christendom. Any Crusader who died in the attempt would be rewarded in Heaven. The response was overwhelming and launched a religious conflict that would last for over three centuries.
Ancient Mesopotamia—the area now called Iraq—has received less attention than ancient Egypt and other long-extinct and more spectacular civilizations. But numerous small clay tablets buried in the desert soil for thousands of years make it possible for us to know more about the people of ancient Mesopotamia than any other land in the early Near East.
General Heinz Guderian's revolutionary strategic vision and his skill in armored combat brough Germany its initial victories during World War II. Combining Guderian's land offensive with Luftwaffe attacks, the Nazi Blitzkrieg decimated the defenses of Poland, Norway, France and, very nearly, Russia at the war's outset.
Covering a thousand years of history, this richly illustrated volume tells the story of the creation of Western civilization in Europe and the Mediterranean. Written by noted scholars and based on the latest research, it offers the most authoritative account of life in medieval Europe from the fall of the Roman Empire to the coming of the Renaissance.
A special 60th anniversary edition of the bestselling re-creation of the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, by the author of A Night to Remember. Sunday, December 7, 1941, was, as President Roosevelt said, "a date which will live in infamy." Day of Infamy is a fascinating account of that unforgettable day's events. In brilliant detail Walter Lord traces the human drama of the great attack: the spies behind it; the Japanese pilots; the crews on the stricken warships; the men at the airfields and the bases; the Japanese pilot who captured an island single-handedly when he could not get back to his carrier; the generals, the sailors, the housewives, and the children who responded to the attack with anger, numbness, and magnificent courage.
This gripping and richly illustrated account of wartime Greece explores the impact of the Nazi Occupation upon the lives and values of ordinary people. The first full account of the experience of occupation, it offers a vividly human picture of resistance fighters and black marketeers, teenage German conscripts and Gestapo officers, Jews and starving villagers.
Here is the whole sweep of the Soviet experiment and experience as told by its last steward. Drawing on his own experience, rich archival material, and a keen sense of history and politics, Mikhail Gorbachev speaks his mind on a range of subjects concerning Russia's past, present, and future place in the world. Here is Gorbachev on the October Revolution, Gorbachev on the Cold War, and Gorbachev on key figures such as Lenin, Stalin, and Yeltsin.
In 1099, the city of Jerusalem, a possession of the Islamic Caliphate for over four-hundred years, fell to an army of European knights intent on restoring the Cross to the Holy Lands. From the ranks of these holy warriors emerged an order of monks trained in both scripture and the military arts, an order that would protect and administer Christendom's prized conquest for almost a century: the Knights of the Temple of Solomon, or the Templars.
In the course of the twentieth century, no war looms as profoundly transformative or as destructive as World War II. Its global scope and human toll reveal the true face of modern, industrialized warfare. Now, for the first time, we have a comprehensive, single-volume account of how and why this global conflict evolved as it did. A War To Be Won is a unique and powerful operational history of the Second World War that tells the full story of battle on land, on sea, and in the air.

Kelsey Kosmala, CYT
My name is Kelsey Kosmala and I am a passionate, adventure seeking yoga instructor. My yoga journey started about 3 years ago, in Southern California, where I am originally from. I began taking yoga classes at my local gym and became curious to learn more about it. I had an itch to travel, so I decided to get my 200 hour certification in Montezuma, Costa Rica. The 30 days I spent at the beach practicing yoga blew my mind and completely changed my life. Shortly after, I decided I needed a fresh start in life, so I decided to take a leap of faith and move to Austin. I have lived here two years now and I have absolutely loved it. Since I've lived here in Austin, I've become even more curious about yoga. I wanted to learn the traditional approach to yoga and get to the roots. Over the summer of 2015 I traveled to Rishikesh, India, where I received my 300 hour certification. Another mind blowing experience. Now I am happy to teach all the knowledge that I have learned and learn from others along the way. I love learning about anything yoga related and overall well being, in it's many forms. My hobbies include traveling, extreme sports, being with nature, reading, watching scary movies, eating exotic foods and just having an overall good time. I am a firm believer in living for the moment and loving every moment of it!!!

Have you ever played Call out the Cinema!
India being well-known for its commercial cinema, better known as Bollywood you will hardly find any Indian saying "No" to Film based games. This time, to shoot up the fun level to pinnacle "Shreyas Gandhi" our dexterous PHP team leader came up with a frolicsome game formed on Indian Movies. You can also call it as a Bollywood quiz to throw light on.
Now the game sounded to be child's play, but was an uphill battle to crack the name of the movie. According to the rule of the game, one of the members will be chosen to go out of the room so that the rest of the team can decide the name of the movie to which they would be providing clues. Although, it's not easy to get the clues because here comes the TWIST! The selected member had 7 questions or say it as "7 life lines", which he/she has to smartly probe to get the details of the movie.
The questions were the name of hero, heroine, song, villain, year of release to name a few. Now, based on these collected information the movie name was to be guessed correctly. Isn't it tricky!
We had a great time irking the person trying to call out the movie name with clues. A lot of us could not tolerate the hard time which the whole team was giving and surrendered themselves. In the interim, we had full-fledged fun by playing a silly prank on one of our team members giving a pseudo movie name. Seriously, not even a millisecond was spent without humor. It was super entertaining in a real sense start till end.
Really, we did not realize we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun!

By Karen Lema and Rosemarie Francisco
MANILA (Reuters) - The Philippines is compiling a typhoon reconstruction plan which needs to win budget support from Congress and attract funds from the private sector and donors with ideas likely to shape President Benigno Aquino's legacy.
Aquino, who was criticized for the slow start to relief efforts for more than four million people displaced by one of the strongest storms ever to make landfall, faces the task of rebuilding at least 1.2 million houses, 600 schools and 500 hospitals and clinics destroyed or damaged by super typhoon Haiyan.
The government said on Friday the death toll had risen to 4,919, with 1,582 people missing.
It is holding meetings with the private sector and international aid agencies before submitting, possibly next week, a supplementary budget to Congress to fund recovery and reconstruction estimated to reach as much as $5.8 billion.
"The problem with the discussion on the supplemental budget is we are rushing the funds but we still do not know what the plan is," said Malou Tiquia, president of political strategy consultancy Publicus Asia.
Manila has set priorities such as shelter, resettlement and rebuilding livelihoods, but the plan lacks detail the private sector and foreign aid agencies need to determine how they can help long term.
"We're calling on government to provide strong leadership in developing that recovery framework," said Orla Murphy, regional humanitarian manager at Oxfam, adding foreign aid agencies could help devise rebuilding plans.
"This recovery is going to take years, because it is not only building back, it's building back better, looking at the hazard profile," Murphy said.
A scandal over lawmakers' misuse of so-called pork barrel funds had already become the biggest crisis of Aquino's three-year rule, hurting his reform and anti-corruption agenda, before the storm smashed into the central Philippines on November 8 and exposed the government's lack of preparation.
But the typhoon devastation can also bring his redemption.
"The monster disaster could offer him an opportunity to regain his popularity," said Earl Parreno, a political analyst. "As long as things are moving and people are seeing concrete results on the ground, Aquino can weather criticism."
Lawmakers have committed to work double time to pass the planned supplemental budget mainly composed of 14.5 billion pesos ($331.4 million) previously set aside for the same pork barrel funds, after the Supreme Court this week ordered the return of such funds to the treasury.
Public Works Secretary Rogelio Singson said construction had started on temporary accommodation and classrooms using tents and tarpaulins. But work needs to be done on identifying sites for permanent housing away from disaster-prone areas.
"The more lasting solution which is being formulated by the government is something we have to wait for, like resettlement areas," said Manuel Pangilinan, chairman of the private-sector-led Philippine Disaster Recovery Foundation, which launched a global campaign for donations via mobile phone in support of a U.N. drive to raise $310 million for the Philippines.
"They have to tell us where they will situate the no-build zones," he said.
"What is clear to us is that the victims cannot wait, for a plan from either us or from the government." ($1 = 43.75 pesos)

Book Notes - Lisa Unger ("Black Out")
In the Book Notes series, authors create and discuss a music playlist that is in some way relevant to their recently published books.
A couple of years ago I was sent a review copy of Lisa Unger's debut novel, Beautiful Lies, and found it dark, edgy and wonderful, only to be just as impressed with its sequel, Sliver of Truth.
Unger's third novel, Black Out, is the rare book I can recommend to both literary fiction and thriller readers, a tightly woven tale that is as much at home in the den or the front porch as it is on the beach.
In her own words, here is Lisa Unger's Book Notes essay for her novel, Black Out:
In Black Out, my main character Annie Powers or Ophelia March depending on how you wind up thinking of her when the book comes to a close, is a fractured character, unreliable and damaged. She's living a perfect life, from all outside appearances. But her inner her universe and her not-too-distant past are very dark. Writing in the first person, in shifting tenses, I was very intimate with her. I often needed something to transport me, to align my thinking with hers. I chose music that lifted me out of myself, out of my world and into hers.
Music has been a big part of every novel I have written; there's a particular soundtrack for all of them, whether I bothered to mention it to my readers or not. Sometimes it's just internal. Or sometimes its embedded in the narrative --the song playing on the radio in the car, or the strain of music heard from an unseen source, what someone is listening to in the last moments of his life. But what my characters are listening to and what I am, is generally not one and the same. In Black Out, Annie doesn't actively choose and listen to music much. She has far too much going on for that. But I wouldn't have been able to tell her story without it.
At a conference I attended a couple of years ago, a writer I very much admire said that he is careful about the kind of music to which he listens, the books he reads, the films and television he watches. "Garbage in, garbage out," he said. And I agree with this kind of you-are what-you-eat-philosophy. Of course, it's especially true when you put your headphones on and start to write. What you're listening to mingles with the voices in your head, becomes a part of the universe you're weaving. This is what I was listening to as I wrote Black Out.
Alberto Turco & Nova Schola Gregoriana/ Gregorian Chant for Meditiation
I know it's meant to be relaxing but there's something about Gregorian Chants that make me reflect on death. In a peaceful, quiet kind of way. Maybe it's my Catholic upbringing. But when the monks start doing their thing, those round bold ethereal notes take me right to the darkest place of my imagination. If I close my eyes I can feel myself lifting. I think of long dark corridors and echoing vaulting ceilings, soft footsteps disappearing into silence.
This is Peter Gabriel's soundtrack to Martin Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ. An amazing tapestry of sound woven from music from the Middle East and Africa, it is in turns beautiful, dark, evocative and inspirational. The exotic instrumentals and vocals have an otherworldly quality that matched the mood and tone of Black Out for me. I am a huge Peter Gabriel fan and this is quite possibly my favorite of his creations.
This is the only album released by Mad Season, a group formed by members of Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam and Screaming Trees. Layne Staley's vocals are raw and filled with angst and longing, pure beauty. Like my other choices for this playlist, the whole album has a certain meditative quality, a kind of grimness, a pull toward darkness, that I think characterizes Annie's essence. But, also like the others, there's an uplifting undercurrent, something hopeful, an acknowledgement that mingled with the pain of life, are also awe-inspiring, magical and truly good moments – we just need to chose those things. Sadly, Staley died in 2002 from an apparent overdose of heroine and cocaine. "Our pain is self-chosen," he sings in "River of Deceit." "Wake Up" and "I Don't Know Anything" are two brilliant tracks on this killer album.
Another doomed beautiful voice in my head while writing Black Out. Grace ranks up there with my favorite albums of all times. What an amazing voice, poetic lyrics, magical instrumentals. Every track is special, unique, moving for its own reasons. With the exception of four tracks released after his drowning death in 1997, Grace was Buckley's only album. Not as dark as my other choices, Buckley's untimely, accidental death juxtaposed against the magnificence of his talent, make these recordings eerie to me in a way they might not have been had he lived. And, of course, there's the drowning theme, which runs through Black Out. Though I didn't think about any of that at the time of writing. I was drawn to this music for reasons I'm not sure I really understood at first.
Tibetan Singing Bowl/ Music for Deep Meditation
Used to support meditation, or prayer, or to induce a trance-like state in Buddhist Practice, a singing bowl is considered a standing bell. A type of mallet called a wooden fish is circled around its edge to produce hypnotic warm overtones and harmonic undertones that resemble a singing sound. I've listened to the singing bowl, the chanting of Tibetan monks, and the gong for meditation and during natural labor and delivery of my daughter. But I'd never before Black Out considered it for writing. On a particularly difficult writing day (the whole mommy-to-a-toddler-am-I-still-a-writer? thing), I wound up listening to it just to relax and focus and wound up writing for hours, literally transported by the sound.
I write early, usually before the sun comes up, hopefully before the critic who lives in my head has had her first cup of coffee and sharpens her red pencil, necessarily before my family wakes up. It's a meditative place, where I am channeling voices deeply internal and far beyond myself. Writing is an act of faith, a practice of craft, a kind of trance-state. Sometimes it's easier to get to that place than others. In my process, music acts as the doorway. I walk through. I'm gone.

Fiji president revokes constitution, no election till 2014 (Lead)April 10th, 2009 - 11:24 am ICT by IANS
Wellington, April 10 (DPA) Fiji was plunged into political limbo Friday as President Ratu Josefa Iloilo revoked the constitution and sacked the Court of Appeal judges who declared the military government illegal, according to reports from the capital Suva.
In an address to the Pacific island nation, Iloilo said he believed that the regime of strongman Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama, who had ruled since seizing power in a bloodless coup in December 2006, had "performed extremely well, brought up new ideas, reforms and improved the lives of the ordinary people", the Fijivillage website reported.
Assuming powers as head of state, Iloilo said he would appoint a new judiciary and a new interim government, which would need five years to implement reforms required before "true democratic and parliamentary elections" could be held by September 2014.
Three judges of the Court of Appeal ruled Thursday that Bainimarama's government was unlawfully appointed and said the president should appoint an independent caretaker prime minister to dissolve parliament and call a general election.
Abrogating the 1997 constitution, Iloilo said he would install a new "legal order".
"New judicial appointments will need to be made for all judges, magistrates and other judicial officers," he said.
Iloilo assured the country that he had the full backing of the security forces and said he had directed Bainimarama, who remains head of the military, "to take all reasonable steps" to ensure peace is maintained.
United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called for calm in Fiji and urged "full respect for human rights, the rule of law and the judicial process", in a statement issued by his spokeswoman.
New Zealand Foreign Minister Murray McCully dubbed the development "a serious step backwards" for Fiji and its 837,000 people.
"The president's decision, no doubt prompted by the commodore, to override the constitution, sack the judges and depend upon the military to keep an unlawful regime in power will compound the already serious economic difficulties confronted by Fiji," McCully said.
"It will also further delay the point at which the international community can give Fiji the help that is urgently needed."
Bainimarama stepped down Thursday as prime minister, telling the nation: "The ruling of the Court of Appeal and its refusal to grant a stay pending appeal means, in practical terms, that we effectively do not have a prime minister or any ministers of the state.
"In other words we do not have a government in place."
Bainimarama has refused calls by New Zealand, Australia, the European Union, the US and the Pacific Islands Forum to restore democracy by holding elections this year.
The Court of Appeal ruling overturned a decision by the High Court that held that Bainimarama's regime, which ousted the elected government headed by Laisenia Qarase, was legitimate.
But the panel rejected a call by attorneys for Qarase to reinstate him pending new elections.
Bainimarama, who accused Qarase's government of being corrupt and biased in favour of the indigenous Fijian majority against the ethnic Indian minority, has refused to go to the polls until a new one-man, one-vote electoral system is in place.
He said the existing system was to blame for the four coups and army mutiny that have devastated Fiji's fragile economy since 1987 and divided the South Pacific nation.

N64.com learned today that Midway/Atari Games's new arcade racer will feature many enhancements specific to the home conversion.
In an exclusive interview with Ed Logg -- the creator of games like Gauntlet, Centipede, Asteroids, Super Breakout, and more recently, worked as the lead developer of home version of Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey -- N64.com discovered that SF Rush version for N64 will feature new cars, tracks and new short-cuts.
The game, which is currently in the arcades, is high on the arcade charts, and can be found in numerous arcades across the U.S. Logg is already in the process of working on the Atari Games racing hit, and says the game will feature one to two players modes, and the same amazing jumping gameplay found in the arcade version.
Logg said the game is likely to reach development completion around August, and should hit store shelves around October 1997.

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Priority Areas
In ordor to understand the deep structure of arc volcanoes and the dynamics of the magma, we have carried out interdisciplinary joint researches for three years. The main focus of our study was on the genesis and transportation of basaltic magmas in the upper mantle, storage and differentiation of the mafic magmas in the lower crust, genesis of the silisic magmas by crustal anatexsis, and structure and the dynamics of the shallow magma chambers. Based on our researches following points were newly found.1) The Horoman peridotite massif in the Hidaka metamorphic belt, Hokkaido, Japan was found to be a solidified mantle diapir.2) The Pankenush and Memurodake gabbros in the Hidaka metamorphic belt were found to be a solidified magma chamber.3) The structure of the magma chamber beneath the Nikko-Shirane volcano was clarified by detailed seimological observations.4) Evolution of the magma feeding system boncath the Usu volcano in the last 300 years was reconstructed on the basis of petrological study and high-pressure experiments.

We took advantage of the unseasonably mild weather this month and one of the places we visited more than once was Lake Manitoba Narrows which is commonly referred to as the narrows. The views of this big lake are awesome. These photos were taken at the marina although everything has been put away for the winter. The best view is from the causeway but there's no room to stop.

Garden Farming
Food Productions
What is the cause of the obesity epidemic in our country, and why is the food we buy in supermarkets unhealthy and deficient in nutrients? What does it mean when giant corporations control food production with profit as their only goal?
At IICD you will be educated and involved in food production on many levels. You will learn how to plan and start garden farms as an important action to healty living and fighting poverty. You will study the issues of food consumption from local and global standpoints, and get the facts about the consequences of a malnutrition economy.
We most urgently need to prepare ourselves for the consequences of Global Warming. Much of the crops in the Midwest have already burned up this year, and the long-term global warming phenomenon is just getting started. Anyone who eats, or hopes to in the future, should sit up and pay attention. It is long overdue that we behave more cautiously. The Natives of this country know the earth is suffering - maybe we should learn from them.
While working in the school's garden farm you will discover how to solve obstacles such as getting water for irrigation, making compost from local waste materials, and fighting pests without using harmful poison or expensive fertilizers.
You will study and test economical ways of increasing crop yield, so farmers can prevent soil erosion and utilize scarce water supplies on their land. You will gather solutions for financing, transporting and distributing finished products. You will soon be equipped to take these tools and put them to work for the benefit of the poor. So look forward to getting your hands dirty and your brain busy on multiple fronts when it comes to food production.

I tengok cerita 'John Carter of Mars' , for me quite good lah this movie.. But first-first macam tak berapa nak paham sangat.. But klimaks die baru dapat catch-up :) Heee!
From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Andrew Stanton comes "John Carter"--a sweeping action-adventure set on the mysterious and exotic planet of Barsoom (Mars). "John Carter" is based on a classic novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, whose highly imaginative adventures served as inspiration for many filmmakers, both past and present. The film tells the story of war-weary, former military captain John Carter (Taylor Kitsch), who is inexplicably transported to Mars where he becomes reluctantly embroiled in a conflict of epic proportions amongst the inhabitants of the planet, including Tars Tarkas (Willem Dafoe) and the captivating Princess Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins). In a world on the brink of collapse, Carter rediscovers his humanity when he realizes that the survival of Barsoom and its people rests in his hands..

The office of Wisconsin Emergency Management said on Friday that students from Prairie View Elementary School received disaster and emergency response training at school.
The students were involved in the Student Tools for Emergency Planning program, which teaches fifth-grade students statewide how to prepare for disasters and emergencies, how to assemble an emergency kit and how to develop a family emergency plan.
"Emergencies and disasters can happen at any time to anyone, and that's why we think it is so important to prepare our students," Tracy Stockwell, the principal of Prairie View Elementary, said. "We're excited to teach the STEP curriculum once again this year and give our students the tools and knowledge they need in order to have confidence in an emergency situation."
The state has offered emergency planning in schools for four years at no cost to the schools. This year's program was funded by a $15,000 AT&T Innovation and Investment Award, as well as grants from Walgreens and the Wisconsin Medical Society Foundation.
"We know how critical it is to be ready and prepared to respond in the event of a disaster or emergency," Scott VanderSanden, the president of AT&T Wisconsin, said. "Not only are we proud that our network operations are state-of-the-art when it comes to performing both during and after a disaster, but we are also proud to help prepare Wisconsin families to respond to emergencies through our support of the STEP program."

William Pinney, 65, of Warren, Vermont, is the lucky winner of the 2017 Vermont Lifetime Hunting and Fishing License Lottery. With his lifetime license, Pinney will be entitled to hunt and fish for free for life. He was drawn as the winner from among 10,650 lottery tickets purchased in 2017.
"This was my second year of deer hunting," said Pinney. "I love hunting in Vermont. I didn't get a deer yet, but I had a great time."
The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department holds the drawing annually and presents a lifetime hunting and fishing license to the winner.
"The Lifetime License Lottery gives anyone, resident or nonresident, an opportunity to win a Vermont hunting and fishing license that is valid for the recipient's lifetime," said Fish & Wildlife Commissioner Louis Porter. "Even if you don't win the license, by applying, you know you have contributed to fish and wildlife conservation in Vermont."
This year's sales of the $2.00 tickets brought $21,300 to the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department. These state dollars can be leveraged with federal funds to produce $85,300 to support the department's mission to conserve fish, wildlife, plants and their habitats for the people of Vermont.
"These funds help us to manage the state's sportfish and game animals, protect threatened and endangered species, and conserve important habitat for wildlife," said Porter.
Hunters and anglers can enter Vermont's License of a Lifetime Lottery by adding the $2.00 entry fee when they buy their license on the Fish & Wildlife Department website at vtfishandwildlife.com. They can also enter by applying at locations statewide wherever Vermont hunting and fishing licenses are sold, or with a printable application also available on the department website. There is no limit on the number of times someone may enter during the year.

State News: Hearing set after NLRB files complaint against eldercare company
State News: Hearing set after NLRB files complaint against eldercare company
The New England Health Care Workers District 1199 initiated the NLRB complaint, claiming operator HealthBridge to be at fault.
In March, the NLRB deemed HealthBridge violated its union contract and ordered it to pay back wages and reinstate the terminated housekeeping and laundry employees. Healthcare Services Group (HCSG) had required them to re-interview for their jobs at lower pay and seniority.
But HealthBridge is appealing, claiming it should not be penalized because HCSG took action against the employees after its contract with HealthBridge ended. A July 12 hearing date was originally set and subsequently bumped to Aug. 10.
Governor: Need tort reform
TENNESSEE – Tennessee nursing home operators love the plan. And Gov. Bill Haslam (R)is even going so far to call it a "jobs creation bill."
But for the victims of personal injury, abuse and neglect, as well as their families, sweeping tort reform now under consideration would "punish those who can never afford the years of additional care that actual abuse causes," writes an editor for The Tennessean's Opinion page.
The reform measure would put significant caps on the amount of jury awards handed out in malpractice lawsuits against healthcare providers. Critics of the plan say it flies in the face of reason in a state whose nursing homes receive among the lowest quality care ratings in the nation.
Haslam maintains that by making the climate more business friendly, tort reform would add more than 122,000 jobs and generate $16 billion to the state's economy over the next decade.
And a recent poll commissioned by the Tennessee Center for Policy Research found that Tennessee voters favor limiting medical malpractice lawsuits by more than a 2-to-1 ratio.
Infection control initiative
GEORGIA – State health officials hope a new initiative will stem the rate of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) acquired during nursing home stays by educating providers and caregivers about the latest proven techniques and precautions.
The infection prevention and control training program, designed by a unit of the Georgia Department of Community Health, will include an intensive two-day curriculum of instructor-led, interactive sessions. It will train personnel on proper techniques and also impart strategies to providers for preventing HAIs and maintaining effective programs.
Legal observers question whether the program will reach enough caregivers.
Agency: 18% abuse rate
KENTUCKY – Abuse and neglect occurred in nearly one out of every five long-term care facilities in the state last year, according to a report from the Cabinet for Health and Family Services. The agency is home to most of the state's human services and healthcare programs, including Medicaid.
Of the 2,048 abuse and neglect investigations performed by social workers in 2010, 368 were found to be legitimate, the Cabinet report, "Elder Abuse in Kentucky," found.
Cabinet officials bemoan the fact that as hard as it is to find clear evidence of abuse, it's even more difficult to prosecute alleged offenders.
Among residents 60 and older, the abuse and neglect rates are even higher — about 25% — according to the report. About 17% of the 1,859 probable cases in 2010 led to criminal charges.
Medicaid bailout short
SOUTH CAROLINA – Lawmakers in March went to the till for the second straight month to rescue the state's troubled Medicaid program. The latest move matched a $100 million bailout approved in February.
But the $200 million bailout was still $25 million short of bringing the program into the black. The agency was able to trim only $3 million from its deficit by eliminating such services as adult dental, vision and podiatry care and routine newborn circumcisions.
Provider-rate reductions will trim another $7.5 million, forcing the program to explore drastic measures to find another $17 million in cuts by May 13. One proposal on the board includes cutting off payments for hospice care, respite care for caretakers and nutritional supplements for nursing home residents.
Cuts would bring lawsuits
NEVADA – First, the bad news: proposed deep Medicaid rate cuts could force the closure of many nursing homes in the state. Even worse news: Gov. Brian Sandoval's (R) proposed shaving of $10.1 million in Medicaid payments could open the state to federal lawsuits and the loss of another $10.1 million in matching funds.
So asserts a new analysis from the law firm Lionel Sawyer & Collins based on Medicaid case rulings in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Moreover, the Nevada Health Care Association warned legislators that the proposed cuts would likely be blocked by a federal court.
At issue is whether Medicaid cuts of any kind would hamper the level and quality of care available. The association noted that the proposed cuts would reduce reimbursement rates to nursing homes by about $20 per day and cost an average nursing home about $500,000 per year, forcing some to close.
"The cuts are too deep. They expose the state to potential lawsuits I think are very real," a state lawmaker acknowledged to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Ombudsman plan criticized
IOWA – The state's long-term care ombudsman is being criticized for a plan to allow nursing home representatives to evaluate her job performance.
Ombudsman Jeanne Yordi reportedly offered up the plan to create an advisory committee composed of representatives of the nursing home and assisted living industries, the Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals (which regulates care facilities) and Iowa's Area Agencies on Aging.
Yordi told the Des Moines Register that she didn't see the plan as a conflict as long as regulators and nursing home officials are mindful of the fact that she represents the residents of Iowa's long-term care facilities.
The new director of the inspections department in February eliminated the jobs of 10 nursing home inspectors and two elder-abuse prosecutors. The ombudsman took no position on the move, but reportedly advised her staff to not publicly criticize it, and the Iowa Department on Aging followed suit.
Providers rip 'bed tax'
WASHINGTON – Many of the state's 200 licensed nursing homes are decrying proposals to impose a $21 per-day, per-bed fee that proponents say shores up the state's sagging Medicaid safety net by allowing it to receive enough federal matching funds to overcome $84 million in looming cuts.
The state's long-term care association supports the controversial plan. Rick Miller, leader of the Washington Health Care Association, said the Medicaid cuts would be "terribly crippling."
But major nursing operators such as Providence Health & Services argue that measures such a "safety net" fee, now in place in 37 other states and approved already for the state's hospitals, would place an unfair burden on private-pay residents. It also would shift $15 million in federal funds to non-nursing home programs such as home care or adult day-health centers, they say.
Fire sprinkler upgrades
NEW YORK – State regulators approved more than $5.5 million in fire sprinkler up-grade projects at 15 nursing homes. The costs of the projects range between $48,000 to $849,240.
A recent federal mandate requires fire safety equipment and upgrades at long-term care facilities that participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Nearly 2,500 sites across the country are expected to complete $846 million in sprinkler-related work over a five-year phase-in period.
Nationwide, 2,300 nursing home fires are reported each year — or one for every seven nursing homes, according to the National Fire Protection Association, a fire-prevention research group.
A 2008 USA Today investigation found that more than half of the nation's nursing homes violated federal fire safety standards each year. Furthermore, government regulations allowed thousands of older facilities to operate without the sprinklers or smoke alarms often required in buildings used by members of the public.

Last night, I was a political activist demanding to free Tibet. The night before that, I was a crossing guard. Three nights before that, I was a World Cup Soccer referee. By day, I'm a scientist, and by night, I'm a story teller.
LEVI McPHERSON, a graduate student of analytical chemistry at the University of North Central Florida, is approached by agents of the Homeland Security's Counter-terrorism Unit. The agency is recruiting Lee to study and expose the loopholes of screening instruments in airports. Struggling financially, he accepted the offer, making him a paid, benevolent hacker of the nation's gateway. Yet Levi is horrified when an Airbus from Los Angeles disintegrated in mid-air.
At 40, when everybody's career trajectory is going up, Levi's still a poor graduate student, struggling financially. His research projects however, are worth million dollars. Researching the highly classified and heavily guarded secrets of detecting traces of explosives, what Lee know was a goldmine. The agency's offer is his financial break . So Levi tackles the problem like a scientist, detailing the loopholes of the aviation security and turning what he knew into a big time money machine.
JIM and JONATHAN of the counter-terrorism unit, where nowhere to be found after Charlotte International Airport, a hub of Delta Airlines closed abruptly because of instrument malfunctions in their security lines. And in a post-Osama Bin Laden's era, the biggest blow to the United Stated after the 9/11 disaster comes unexpectedly when a passenger plane blew up in the skies of Washington D.C., in the heart of the nation.
Levi knew it was only the start of more troubles, so he recruits his fellow graduate students to counter the future attacks. They have to think like criminals—and scientists too. With the help of FBI counter-terrorism experts, Homeland Security and Transportation Security Agency, the team races to close and plug the loopholes Lee identified.

Meeting With The Boss
photo from wikipidia
Being a graduate student means you are free to do and implement your ideas for experiment, sort of an independent research. But there's no such thing as independent research, at least in my opinion. You still need to meet with your graduate adviser to discuss your progress and check if what you are proposing is feasible in the realm of science and the latest technology. Besides, your adviser is the expert, his line of thinking is very different from the student.
I been working with an expensive (expensive over-all and its maintenance, a superconducting magnet that needs to be cool down 24/7) instrument for over a year now, and I thought I know most of the tricks. In turns out I don't. My boss told me about signal to noise ratio, the resolution, the nyquist criteria, zero filling and apodize. I know it sound like a different language but I'm blogging this to remind me that education is a continuous process.
You learn new things everyday.

GPA range of pre-calibrated weighing kits
Available with individual load cell capacities from 50 kg to 200 tonnes, the GPA kits are designed for rapid installation on tanks, silos, and vessels. The units comprise of low profile, fully sealed, stainless steel load cells, integral mounting hardware, and a stainless steel junction box.
Optional weight indicators, smart junction boxes, and local displays complete the comprehensive offering and full ATEX compliant versions are available for use in hazardous areas.
Unlike most competitive units, the GPA load cells come in pre-calibrated sets, making on-site installation extremely simple and, in most applications, removing the need for costly and time-consuming calibration procedures. The load cells can also be supplied with terminated customized cable lengths to suit specific applications. The self-aligning mounting kits come complete with anti-lift and side restraints to ensure optimum system integrity and load introduction.
The optional smart junction box offers a number of key operational benefits and stores the calibration data in its memory. This can be extracted either locally, via laptop PC, or remotely using Ethernet connectivity.
Already tried and tested in many installations across Europe, the kits are ideal for applications across a broad spectrum of industries including food, animal feed, chemical, pharmaceutical, petrochemical and waste recycling.
PR series weight transmitters and amplifiers
PRWT weight transmitters are flexible and easy to use modules that have been specifically designed for industrial weighing applications where the measurement and secure transmission of accurate weight data are essential.
PRWT models are available for use in standard analog systems as well as DeviceNet, Profibus, and Industrial Ethernet networks, thereby offering optimum connectivity and speed of data transfer. The units can be mounted in standard DIN rail control panels or field mounted in optional IP66 wash-down enclosures.
The modules supply 10 V DC excitation for the loadcells and condition the resultant return signal. This signal, together with stored control and calibration data, generates a Gross/Net weight signal for display and transmission to PLCs and computers via the appropriate network. The units feature powerful 'System on Chip' technology which provides 24 bit (16,000,000) internal resolution.
This is combined with proprietary drift compensation to offer outstanding levels of accuracy and stability. Adjustable filtering down to 0.2 Hz minimizes the effects of mechanical vibration without compromising weighing accuracy.
System calibration can be carried out using conventional loading routines or by an entry of the precise sensitivity and capacity figures for the load cells. Calibration adjustments are performed by means of the four push-buttons in conjunction with the LCD display. There are no troublesome potentiometers and access to calibration is pass-number protected.
Each PRWT unit is factory calibrated to have the same precise input range and this facilitates unit replacement in the field. By simply entering the appropriate zero and gain coefficients into the replacement unit, the system can be up and be running in a matter of minutes without the need for vessel emptying or recalibration.

Cherry Blossoms
Today, Easter Sunday, was a beautiful day to see the cherry blossoms. It was the last day before our children start school again, so it was nice to be able to go out and have a picnic and enjoy the scenery.
We went to the Sports Park in Naruto because there are many beautiful cherry trees that are low to the ground and lots of open areas to sit under the trees and enjoy the sights. We got together with a few friends and had a good time relaxing, chatting and eating.
The trees were almost at full bloom today and this might be our last chance to enjoy their beauty. By next weekend, many of the blossoms may be gone. We're thankful we could get together with others and have a nice picnic party.

On Monday, MSNBC's "Hardball" host Chris Matthews pressed South Carolina State Representative Justin Bamberg (D), who is supporting Democratic presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on where the money for Sanders' proposals would come from, which prompted Bamberg to admit "I don't have a specific answer for you."
Matthews said, "He's going to people and he's saying to them, look, I'm going to give you more Social Security benefits. … I'm going to get your kids through state university, good universities for free. you know, i'm going to give you healthcare from the day you're born until the day you die, free. That's a hell of an offer. You say he's not selling himself. those are sale pitches, and I'm not sure he can deliver on them, because there is a question of arithmetic here. Like Ronald Reagan used to say more military, tax cuts, and everything, and he would offer it all and would end up with huge deficits of course, because it didn't add up."
Bamberg responded, "One thing about Bernie Sanders, and why people think he's genuine is because he believes in what he's saying. Chris, we put man on the moon, we put an African-American male in the White House. You can't tell me that providing — and I say you, anybody, you cannot say that in the greatest country on earth, that we can't provide healthcare as a right to every citizen in this country. You can't say that we can't provide free public college education to students. We can. It's a matter of whether or not we want to."
Matthews then asked, "Who's we?" "Who's paying the college professors salary? Who's this we? Who pays the college professor's salary? Who pays for the tuition? Who pays for the doctor and the nurse, and the person working in the hospital? Who's paying them? Who's this we? I just keep asking where the money comes from. Where does it actually come from? Who's writing the checks?"
Bamberg answered, "Yeah, that is a very good question. And quite frankly, I don't have a specific answer for you. The beauty of the process we have is that it all starts with an idea, with an idea that can be made possible, and collectively, it is going to require the work of every elected official. But I do want to answer the question you posed about taxes, okay. And what we keep hearing are soundbites. Bernie Sanders is up front and blunt. That's one thing about him. He's bold with his statements, and he sticks to his convictions. He said yes, I am going to raise taxes, but there's a second part to that. He's raising taxes, okay, but he's also cutting costs for insurance premiums, for American citizens. So it counterbalances. It's not like there's just an extra hole in your pocket because of what he –."
Matthews cut in, "[H]e can say that all he wants about you don't have to pay healthcare insurance premiums, but what about the cost of tuition? What about the higher benefits he's offering in Social Security, he's making a lot of offers in a lot of different directions and coming up with sort of quick answer, like, oh it'll just be cheaper in your insurance policies. You know, you can't get a doctor in many cases to even take care of Medicare patients any more. They don't think it's enough money. The money's not even there now for what we have, in terms of our commitments."
Bamberg countered that Matthews raised "valid points." "But I'll just end on this note. At — there was a point in time where everybody on this planet thought the earth was flat. There was a point in time when man did not have the ability to fly. Now, we can travel the country in just hours. Things can get done. Yes, it is something that is very, very complicated. But you know, I believe, and Bernie Sanders has a lot of folks who believe in him. And I think he has a great chance of winning this thing."
Matthews concluded, "I think somebody once said there's no such thing as a free lunch, and that's still true."

Logan Pauley '15 spends summer at prestigious Taiwanese language program
August 22, 2013 By Mariel Smith
in Taiwan.
"This summer has taught me so much about being an
independent student," Pauley (in black Centre t-shirt) says. "It
was also a huge help being completely immersed in the language."
This fall, Centre will introduce the Centre-in-China study abroad program's new home at Tongji University in Shanghai, and Logan Pauley '15 will be among the students who travel there to participate in the semester program. However, he will be the only one who got to brush up on his Chinese in a uniquely immersive experience at the International Chinese Language Program (ICLP) at National Taiwan University in Taiwan.
"I found out about the program from Dr. Anderson," Pauley explains, referencing Centre's Assistant Professor of Chinese and Chair of Asian Studies. "He attended the same program when he was a student."
Dr. Kyle Anderson suggested the program to Pauley because he knew it would be a perfect fit.
"Alongside IUP at Tsinghua University in Beijing, ICLP is the standard by which all Chinese programs are judged. Anyone who knows Logan, though, would have no problem saying that a challenging, intense immersion experience abroad was perfect for him," says Anderson. "I remembered my days there sitting one-on-one across from my teachers debating political topics and being grilled on hundreds of new vocabulary words and knew that Logan would relish such an opportunity for immense growth."
The prospect of such "immense growth" was one reason Pauley chose to attend the summer program.
"I knew I would be studying in China in the fall, and I didn't feel that my speaking or listening ability was at a level I was comfortable with," he says. "ICLP has a reputation for completely transforming students' Mandarin ability in a short amount of time, regardless of their prior skill."
This transformation in language skills happens thanks to 15 hours per week of Mandarin-only classes, not to mention hours every day navigating city streets, interacting with locals and making friends.
Despite being halfway across the world, Kentucky was never far, as Pauley learned during a completely unexpected moment while in Taipei: "I ran into some people from WKU [Western Kentucky University] on the fourth floor of a random building," he recalls. "That was pretty cool."
Pauley took three classes: a three-person class, a two-person class, and a one-on-one class with a teacher. In the one-on-one class, he translated the self-titled debut album of a local music group, roughly translated as Omnipotent Youth Society.
Luckily, the rigorous Mandarin classes he took with Dr. Anderson at Centre prepared him well for the demands of his ICLP curriculum. More importantly, the summer experience gave him a taste of studying abroad and immersive language learning, both of which will come in handy this fall.
"This summer has taught me so much about being an independent student," he says. ""It was also a huge help being completely immersed in the language."
Importantly, this experience has sparked a wider interest in Chinese and Asian culture and language for Pauley, who hopes it will not be the end of his involvement in China.
"If I find a way to afford coming back to ICLP or another similar program next summer, that'll be my first choice," Pauley says. "If not, I'll hope to find an internship in China for the next summer. It's my main hope that I'll be able to travel to Taiwan and China many times—Taiwan is amazing."
Dr. Anderson expressed similar enthusiasm for Centre's involvement in China, particularly with the new Centre-in-China study abroad program.
"Centre-in-China draws students into the heart of one of the world's oldest and most vibrant cultures, one that will be affecting students every day of their lives," he says. "Odds are very good that, no matter what field students choose to study or career they opt to pursue, knowledge of or an appointment in China will likely be a part of it. I'm very excited to hear about and learn from our students' experience there this fall—they will likely be bursting with excitement when they return."
Centre College, founded in 1819, offers its students a world of opportunities, highlighted by the nation's premier study abroad program and a faculty ranked #5 in the nation for "Best Undergraduate Teaching" at a liberal arts college by U.S. News & World Report. Centre graduates enjoy extraordinary success, with entrance to top graduate and professional schools, prestigious fellowships for further study abroad (Rhodes, Rotary, Fulbright), and rewarding jobs (on average, 97 percent are employed or in advanced study within 10 months of graduation).

Location: Costa de Oro, Costa Rica
Word of the day:
Turtle Fact: Some sea turtles die when they ingest trash. Leatherbacks are especially susceptible to ingesting plastic, mistaking it for jellyfish.
4:10am wake up. 4:15am I am walking out the door with my white headlamp on my head, red flashlight in my pocket, Walden (audio book) talking to me in one ear, and a backpack filled with turtle patrol stuff. As I walk the beach to the South, solo, the only things I come across is old poached nests from the night before.
Breakfast #1 (cereal). Shower. HT.com updates. Breakfast #2 (Turtle Pancakes)
Heading out to the beach to say "good morning or buenos días", I notice that our beach it littered with wood of all shapes in sizes. I have never seen anything like this. I mean the Caletas project certainly has a collection of drift wood on the higher banks, but over night it looks like someone deforested part of the amazon pushed everything into the ocean, only to wash up on our shore. This sight actually excited me as now I have wood to line the path to the hatchery instead of walking great distances along the beach. Making sure, some of the larger and lighter pieces don't wash away to a different part of the beach (granted most of them are "water logged" anyway) I make about 5 trips from the ocean with some decently sized logs, before I throw in the towel retrieving logs. I place the logs, stake them in place and fill in the path with new sand. I would say at this point, I am half way down with the path.
Lunch. Netflix- Mad Men.
Continuing my culinary trip around the globe, my mind stops in Asia. Tonight I dream of a calzone-empanada like meal, but with an Asian twist. I plan on making rice dough, putting steamed vegitables inside it, rolling it, baking it and then cutting it like sushi rolls. Soooo to get started I make the dough.
|Praying Mantis - Found in our Kitchen
Almost 6pm, I start prep for dinner. I boil all the veggies I plan to use in a water/soy sauce mixture (other than the onions which I saute). Right as I am finishing the last of the prep and before making the rolls, Courtney, Kayla and Kayla's father walk in the door and proceed to drag us to Hotel Laguna Mar, where live music, dancing and fun is to be had. My Oriental meal will have to wait for tomorrow.
At Laguna Mar we meet up with the rest of the group. The bar and seating area is packed while a Tico with a microphone and accordion is playing and signing music. What is going on here? Can the middle of Costa Rica really look like a boutique night club? At least hear they won't kick me out for wearing shorts and sandals. We dance taste a couple appetizers and enjoy one another's company. At one point in the night, the MC started signing along to an MP3 of Hotel California. He stuck the microphone in Matt's face and pressured him to sing the only Americano song we have heard all night. Knowing not much was going to come of this, I bust out my cell phone, connect to the free wifi, look up the lyrics and grab the mic. All this happens within 30 seconds. I sing, preform and bow. I'm now internationally known!
SIDE-NOTE: Today is Costa Rica's National Independence Day. The fun began yesterday, when various schools from communities around the country make colorful homemade lanterns, which are lit by candles. The lanterns are lit at 6pm, and Costa Ricans join their voices to sing the National Anthem. The students then walk through the streets, carrying their lanterns, often accompanied by drums and singing.
This tradition comes from the night of September 14th, 1821, when delegates from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador met in the Guatemalan Plaza with the purpose of joining their voices and saying out loud in unison, "Long live liberty", just a few hours before the declaration of independence was given in that country. The entire town gathered in the City Hall, lighting the place with lamps and lanterns.
I wish I could have played with fire like that as a kid. Instead, I stood in church for 3 hours, holding a candle for midnight Easter Mass, falling asleep and burning the hair and jacket of the person sitting in front of me. Συγνώμη (signomi)!
Now back at the house I take a siesta before my early morning patrol. Siesta.
3:30am I get up and prepare for patrol. Ingrid and I walk south on the Beach only to find a questionable poached nest. Due to the tide and footsteps around the hole we unsure if this was actually poached nest or not. However, better we be safe than sorry, I tack one on for the poachers. 26 nest for me, 25 for them.
- It's sometimes worth saving for later
- It's always better to cook with a friend, as long as they are on the other side of the counter
- When it rains it ... washes up lots of wood
Food: Cereal - My new favorite thing to do with normal (bland flakes) is to add a little bit of honey as well as vanilla extract. It tastes just like Lucky Charms, but without the marshmallows.
Animals: Crabs, Dogs, Birds, Mosquitoes.
Something I am thankful for: A blender. Forget all that cutting and chopping. Throw whatever you want in (granted there is enough liquid) and voila, sauce. Or on the other hand throw dry ingrediants in for quick mix.
Something I don't want to admit: I catch myself a couple times a day (when exuding laborious activities) smelling less than pungent. A quick jump in the ocean, a rinse off in the outdoor shower and a swipe of Old Spice corrects this problem. Don't let anyone fool you - if you stop wearing deodorant your body does not naturally change. It just means that your lazy and don't sweat; thus not permitting your stank.
Total Nest I have saved: 26
Total Nests Poached on my Patrol:25
Total Turtle Eggs I saved: 3,127
Total Baby Turtles I Released: 40
Days of Rain: 47/73

Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are much like the metal option, however they're made of tooth-colored or clear brackets and effectively blend in with the teeth. Also, he ceramic option has an advantage over products such as Invisalign in that ceramic braces work faster.
Metal Braces
Metal braces are the most common type. They're less expensive than the ceramic option, however they're also more noticeable. Nevertheless, metal braces have evolved over the years; they're smaller and more discrete. Kids can also include colored bands to create their own unique and beautiful smiles.
