Today, content in the form of thought leadership needs to be thought through.
"With everyone claiming to be an industry "expert" these days, it's natural to wonder if thought leadership will simply suffocate under the weight of all the digital clutter it's produced." - Issac Oswalt
It's no secret that thought leadership is in its maturity phrase as a 'buzzword.' But companies are still investing highly in this type of content as it can legitimatize your product and/or service.
The clutter is pushing companies to create at the next level.
In 2017, you'll have to get creative with thought leadership.
Distribute Everywhere
Your distribution strategy needs to leverage all channels of distribution. Create once, distribute everywhere. You can't chain yourself inside one channel of distribution.
Content is king, but distribution is queen and she wears the pants. It's not nearly enough to create a good piece of content. You have to understand how content spreads across the web. - Jonathan Perelman - VP Agency Strategy @ Buzzfeed
To show off your great piece of content, make sure you have tools set in place to distribute via social networks, emailing, and newsletters quickly and efficiently.
Internal Newsroom: Built for Speed
High performing companies like Red Bull are building internal content newsrooms to stay on top of trending articles. Through aggregation, they are able to surface content that deserves an instant response.
Contently reported that Marriott's newsroom "M Live", gives employees the opportunity to jump on marketing opportunities with ease. This drives everything from social conversations to hotel room bookings. They saw a 650% increase over a 30-day period.
You may not have the budget of a Red Bull or Marriott to put a full team together, but you can start easily with a content hub. With a content hub (like Pressly's) you can empower your employees to share content to one destination to enable real time responses to trending articles related to your industry.
Share, Share, Share
Sharing is at the centre of thought leadership success. As soon as your content is being shared through various platforms, you have a real opportunity to make an impact.
Start with the people sitting with you today: your employees. Enable them to share content through their social networks and increase your reach exponentially.
Your distribution can only go so far. Encourage your employees, partners, and customers to share brand owned content to let your most trusted people distribute for you.
Move into 2017 with these tips in mind in order to give your thought leadership the boost it deserves.

Castle of Arnoia
Romanesque castle, formerly located in the land of Basto, fits in the movement of encastelamento that between the centuries X and XII marked the European territory.
In its structure, positioned high on a hilly knoll, it highlights four defensive elements: the keep (the roof and set of battlements were reconstituted in the twentieth century), the quadrangular turret, a single port and the cistern.
Ecopista the Tâmega Line
Ecopista the Tâmega Line was built in the canal area of the disused railway line between Amarante and Arch of Baúlhe. The Ecopista intended for pedestrian or bicycle traffic. It is a soft, accessible route for all, with a very little drop-off and with a length of approximately 40 km.

The route develops along taken involving mills, which were the subject of small interventions to allow the movement of visitors. This set also includes an old sawmill woods, built on the river, which also used the water as a driving force. This sawmill is installed the Museum Centre of the Lameira Plateau that covers not only the work of the sawmill but thematic ethnographic and archaeological relacionas with the rural work and grinding nuts and seeds over time.

It is one of the areas that are better scenic, tourist and recreational potential in the village. The urban park in Freixieiro develops along the river of the same name that runs through the urban area.

The Celorico de Basto Municipality belongs to the district of Braga and integrates the very ancient and characteristic area known as Terra de Basto. This area is centered in the middle section of the valley of the river Tamega in the transition between the Minho and Tras-os-Montes. It is a very rural county, whose deep traces in the territory and landscape are due to agricultural activity dominant until the end of the last century. It presents mountainous area characteristics, with dense forests and countless valleys that frame an extensive network of waterways.
It is undeniable that, connected to the earth's history of Basto is arguably the Castle Celorico, commonly known as Arnoia Castle. The "Villa de Basto" was the first seat of the county and was born and have blossomed along with this military monument. Only in April 1719 it was transferred to the parish Britelo and the appointment of "Vila Nova de Freixieiro". The urban expansion of the seat of the county has been accompanied by the creation of large green and garden spaces and a wide range of collective use equipment, which gives it an attractive look and where you can enjoy modern comforts.
Reach Celorico was once an adventure. Today it is very easy and fast to get here. Visit Celorico de Basto and its numerous solar and camellia gardens. Be sure to visit the Castle, the Arnoia Monastery and our vast and rich religious heritage. Enjoy the local cuisine and do not miss a walk through our Ecopista installed in the channel space off line railway, iron.

Oh! For F**K's sake! Pt. 2
First we are told that we are all one nation one people. All sayang each other and help and support each other to oust our colonial tuan's and sahib's. Ah of course, let's not forget those Commie baargers too. So we all pitched in. One nation, one people.
Then, years later we are told that we are not really so equal la. Because some of us have more than others. And so must share share la. Okay can. After all, we are citizens of the same country ma. Good. Then years later we are told that the sharing ratio must be adjusted la because still not equal wor. Errrr....okay lor. One nation, one people ma.
In more recent times the message has sort of become "Hello we don't need to ask you what. We are in power so we say so. Okay?"
It is really confusing. For everybody. Some politicians wave knives around and shout racist slogans. Then later the same flers try to preach racial and religious tolerance. Some politicians announce that some communities must get more than others because they have less and need help to catch up with the others. The same flers then tell the same audience that they must share development contracts with all the other groups. It's only fair. Huh?
And so the whole shameful show rolls on la.
And then ah...today in The Star...for me la...the most irritating 50th birthday celebration "gift". More rules on how to be patriotic. Okay la, some of you are probably saying that I am making a mountain out of a molehill la. But the story at the bottom of page N13 really pissed me off la.
How to be patriotic!!! I cringe every time some dumb ass clowns with a YB prefix tries to tell me HOW I should show my love for the country of my birth.
It was about the Do's and Don't's of displaying the National Flag. I won't even begin to go into the stupidity of some of the stuff listed there. You go and read it and get pissed off by yourself please.
Approaching our 50th birthday and our elected politicians treat us like little errant children.
Anyway, Mr. YB and YAB and whatever else you want to call yourselves, when are you going to learn that patriotism isn't shown by flying a flag. Less so if the flag is given out free at some toll booth. Patriotism isn't a once a year affair. So please la. Don't tell us to be patriotic once a year and then expect us to go back to being the clueless sheep that you want to re-elect you into office at the next elections.
p/s Actually ah...if you look around there is a reason for the detectable feeling of desperation from those flers in charge of firing up the annual show of patriotism. Nobody seems to be giving much of a shit about it. Look around KL. Not too many buildings have the flag up. Look at the cars. Not too many of them have the flags flapping. There have been veiled threats by the 'authorities'. Fly the flag or else kind of thing. But still not much happening la. Newspapers and TV give daily reports of how 'patriotic' some communities are. Doing this and that. But watching and reading these stories I get the feeling that it is a vain attempt at wagging the dog when the dog's long dead. Sad thing is that all these things mean that yours and my tax money goes down the longkang. Again!

Ha,ha PT! Your Niamah!!! never fails to put me in stitches. Also, it has more ummh! than Boh tea. It is good to have more of it, especially when those clowns in power keep spewing out garbage.
Asking me, no, no, TEACHING me, to be patriotic nowadays is as good as asking me to abstain from sex.

Under this administration, we are so helpless, so sad. We can only hope for the best, the most we can do is to exercise our right as a citizen to vote in the coming election. We must help to communicate to all our relatives, friends, colleague and all the kampung folks.
Sad that we see so many scandals yet not action. Those in power (the politician, the ministers, the mainstream journalists) remain oblivion of these shits and at the same time full of hypocrisy and rehetorics. Cakap Tak Serupa Bikin.
No sense of shame or remorse. If they really cannot tolerate racial and religous, so say so lah!!! Oh , cannot lah, need to say we live in harmoniously mah, cause we need to attract foregien investors for so many corridors, from South to North, East to West! Halo! You think these investors are idiot ah?
(We need many many longkang-longkang if those corridors turn white elephantS)
Can't the power in power has some common sense????
Work properly lah!!!1

50 years, do you know what is the common topics nowadays, snacth thieves, car jack, murders, rapes, etc..
The increase in crime rates is really serious nowadays. Aunties dare not go out, the criminal behave more like big bullies now, like the politician.
Well, there is a Chinese saying about politician, the higher they climb the tree, the more fearful there are when they look down. Our politicans are hence running the countries with fear. When a leader is fearful of loosing its grip, they will do anything to retained it.
So, I suppose the best way to deal with all these is via our vote. One vote, one voice.

The thing that created so much uneasiness is that, while the govt trying so show extra care to a certain community that need more care,the govt must also need to show at least "some care" to the rest larhh..! Do show also must do wann..!Then no one will suspect anything marh !Life will be much peaceful! This is begining to look like a big conglomerate corporation running a business..Rural schools are still the same as they were 10-20 years before...That damn floods in the kampung areas during moonsoon still come back years after years to destroy kampungs' properties... Our kids in the kampung still don't speak English and know wat's going on in the world...Cotton-buds are still left in the patient's body after surgery..Wat did our kids learn to improve themselfs after uni? ..Still need to train after graduation in places like TESCO! How the futures generation going to compete with the progressing emerging economies larhh!Don't improve on English, leave KLIA, the kid/s is/are vertually usless outside!!Does the local TV/media make any attempt to show our citizens how far the world is progressing outside? Instead, they dwell so..much on the FEAR stuffs..!e.g.- terrorism, Iran, Iraq, Palestinians and Isreal...We all need care IN THE COUNTRY! Think that FIRST! Kids need to learn advance stuffs to compete in the future..The nation NEEDS TO SURVIVE in the future! The Indons workers are hardworking and adapting the local culture and learning to speak cantonese, hakka, hokkian, tamil etc..They are not thread to us all meh?? We have a life time to deal with each other...The rulers have 5 years!then we r left alone ..How larhh???

thank you wee meng chee for your unique show of patriotism....i must say his negarakuku is quite a piece of genius - coming from a fellow muarian. pat, we should petition him to be our chief patriotic officer (CPO) and shower malaysia with more of his patriotic creation menjelang hari merdeka ke 50! mca on the other hand thinks he needs guidance and counselling on how to be patriotic, ha ha ho ho he he (with tears in my eyes)!!!!! he succeeded in highlighting racial discrimination and other abuses in malaysia to the world with just one rap piece when the opposition failed for decades. he suffered the same heart-break as i and many chinese did when we packed our bags and left m'sia to further our studies bcos we were rejected by our 'negara ku'. niamah, muar por kia hoh lioa ah!!!

Ya lor, patriotism is a feeling when all rakyat feel that they are included in the Malaysian vision.
If this seems lacking, the question that these "leaders" must ask is why do people feel that they are being excluded.
Therein lies the answer. And you can bet that many promises will be made before the next general election. Just remember that the current administration has yet to fulfill its promises made the last time around.
Perhaps it is time for someone else to run the show.

What have I done to deserve being called a Malaysian, and more importantly, what will I have to do to continue being a Malaysian?...
What have I done?
a) I'm not shy to tell anyone when I'm abroad, in another country, that I'm a Malaysian;
b) I paid my taxes diligently so I can have a country that is as diligently managed;
c) I'm still here in this country rendering my knowledge and skills as one of this country's human capital;
d) I've exercised my rights in electing my choice of a capable people's representative;
e) I do not condemn Malaysian made product or produce;
f) I invested my earning in this country;
g) I have friends of not only my ethnic kind;
h) I have started a blog to contribute towards Malaysia as a knowledge society, and to share the Malaysian identity to my readers and hopefully to all citizens of this world!
What will I have to do to continue being a Malaysian?
a) I shall have my NRIC with me at all times - at home, just outside my home, and away from home;
b) I shall (try) not to write on any disturbing content that my government doesn't like;
c) I shall try my best in believing everything what my government says;
d) I shall fly or display the national flag at my home when I'm told to;
e) I shall not show disrespect to the Rulers, national flag, national anthem, national emblem, national language, national flower, national car, national schools, and anything that is classified as national identity or pride of this country;
f) I shall abide the laws of this country even though certain laws are out-dated and out-numbered;
g) I shall sacrifice anything I may posses, even myself, in the name of peace and harmony, for this country.
Happy Merdeka, my Malaysia! May there be more Malaysian like me.

On a serious note, you get rid of all the MPs in Parliament who cannot distinguish right from wrong (no more close one eye, or close 2 eyes, but only have open both eyes type)then there is some hope. Have the political will and drop them from standing for elections irrespective of which party they are from. After that enforce on wrong doers whatever laws that have been passed, - the good YBs will not interfere - see the point? When enforcement is strictly adhered to, you will see a sharp drop in corruption, crime, etc, etc. The development programmes are there but they're not benefiting the ra'akyat. Why? Because the cronnies are getting the cake (corruption?) Enforcement should be allowed to

High time for change my fellow country men and women... Don't be fooled again and again by sweet-talking and racist politicians. Vote wisely la come next general election. When can we call ourselves as Bangsa Malaysia? Wait lo, Just wait for another 50 years to see lo! Enough is enough!
- 3:09 am
I have been born in this country, and I think it is God's will or you may say it is my fate. Had my parents not made that perilous journey here over rough seas in rickety junks, I would have had a different fate.
I have witnessed how our early nationalist leaders (all the major component races of our nation represented) struggled in one accord to achieve our beloved country's Merdeka. I have had childhood friends with no racial barriers.
I have been very proud to be called a Malaysian in my earlier years but am now very confused whether I am even recognised as one by my own government. I feel I am being treated as second-class citizen despite my tremendous contribution to nation-building as a nurturer of children in the schools to prepare them to be good citizens.
And in recent times, events in the country have rendered me feeling a great sense of hopelessness as I see our beloved Malaysia going to the dogs.
Approaching 50 years of our country's independence, yet I can't find myself celebrating like I used to in the first 10 years. I am not being unpatriotic but I just don't have that spirit. Whose fault is it? I look to the future of our country with a very heavy heart.
This is indeed sad, very very sad.

The Kris-Waving man had seriously damaged the image and value of the Malay Sword.
I was told a huge departmental store had placed an order of 50,000 gold color plastic Kris toys which looks like fat potato shape. When waved, the fat and short plastic kris will give out merdeka melody.
If this is true, please let me know where to buy it! I wanna wave the fat potato at the ministers during the merdeka parade!

The politicians are not looking properly la I think. If they open their eyes (don't tutup one eye, k?) they will see almost all the cars with a KERIS flying on it. Very patriotic mah.

So long as our politics is based on race, we shall never be a Nation. I am sure the powers to be, giving them some ioata of intelligence, know it very well. The heads of the three main political parties, UMNO, MCA and MIC are the biggest racists in the country. Why dont they just dissolve their respective parties and form Parti Barisan National and accept all races in the country as members. I will definitely be one of the first to join. We can then elect the head of UMNO as Prime Minister. But then by doing this some people will have to lose their existing perks and prestige. Politicians will not do this but only STATESMEN will. We only have hypocritical politicians but sadly cannot find one STATESMAN lah. We can only hope and pray that Barisan National matures quick enough before the next elections.

Type 1 Diabetes In Children
What is type 1 diabetes?
Type 1 diabetes is a disease that affects how your child's body makes insulin and uses glucose (sugar). Normally, when the blood sugar level increases, the pancreas makes more insulin. Insulin helps move sugar out of the blood so it can be used for energy. Type 1 diabetes develops because the immune system destroys cells in the pancreas that make insulin. The pancreas cannot make enough insulin, so the blood sugar level continues to rise. A family history of type 1 diabetes may increase your child's risk for diabetes.
What are the signs and symptoms of type 1 diabetes?
- More thirst than usual
- Frequent urination or unexplained bedwetting
- Feeling hungry most of the time
- Weight loss without trying
How is type 1 diabetes diagnosed?
- An A1c test shows the average amount of sugar in your child's blood over the past 2 to 3 months. Your child's healthcare provider will tell you the level that is right for your child. The goal is usually below 7.5%. Your provider can help you make changes if your child's A1c is too high.
- A fasting plasma glucose test is when your child's blood sugar level is tested after he or she has fasted for 8 hours. Fasted means he or she has not eaten anything or had anything to drink except water.
- A 2-hour plasma glucose test starts with a blood sugar level check after your child has not eaten for 8 hours. Your child is then given a glucose drink. Your child's blood sugar level is checked after 2 hours.
- A random glucose test may be done any time of day, no matter how long it has been since your child ate.
- An antibody test may show that your child's immune system is attacking his or her pancreas.
How is type 1 diabetes treated?
Type 1 diabetes cannot be cured, but it can be controlled. The goal is to keep your child's blood sugar at a normal level.
- Your child will need insulin each day. Insulin can be injected or given through an insulin pump. Ask your child's healthcare provider which method is best for your child. You and your child will be trained in the best method for him or her. Give your child insulin as directed. Too much insulin may cause his or her blood sugar level to go too low.
- You will also be taught how to adjust each insulin dose your child takes with meals. Always check his or her blood sugar level before the meal. The dose will be based on his or her blood sugar level, carbohydrates in the meal, and activity after the meal.
How do I check my child's blood sugar level?
You will be taught how to check a small drop of blood with a glucose monitor. You will need to check your child's blood sugar level at least 3 times each day. Ask your child's healthcare provider when and how often to check during the day. Before meals , your child's blood sugar should be between 90 and 130 mg/dL. At bedtime , it should be between 90 and 150 mg/dL. You may need to check for ketones in your child's urine or blood if his or her level is higher than directed. Write down the results and show them to your child's healthcare provider. The provider may use the results to make changes to your child's medicine, food, or exercise schedules.
What should I do if my child's blood sugar level is too low?
Your child's blood sugar level is too low if it goes below 70 mg/dL. If the level is too low, have your child eat or drink 15 grams of fast-acting carbohydrate. These are found naturally in fruits and dairy products. Fast-acting carbohydrates will raise your child's blood sugar level quickly. Examples of 15 grams of fast-acting carbohydrate are 4 ounces (½ cup) of fruit juice or 4 ounces of regular soda. Other examples are 2 tablespoons of raisins or 3 to 4 glucose tablets. Check your child's blood sugar level 15 minutes later. If the level is still low (less than 100 mg/dL), give another 15 grams of carbohydrate. When the level returns to 100 mg/dL, have your child eat a snack or meal that contains carbohydrate and protein. This will help prevent another drop in blood sugar. Always carefully follow your healthcare provider's instructions on how to treat low blood sugar levels.
What do I need to know about nutrition for my child?
A dietitian will help you create a meal plan to keep your child's blood sugar level steady. Do not let your child skip meals. His or her blood sugar level may drop too low if he or she takes insulin and does not eat.
- Keep track of carbohydrates (sugar and starchy foods). Your child's blood sugar level can get too high if he or she eats too many carbohydrates. His or her dietitian will help you plan meals and snacks that have the right amount of carbohydrates.
- Give your child low-fat and low-sodium foods. Examples of low-fat foods are lean meat, fish, skinless chicken or turkey, and low-fat milk. Limit high-sodium foods, such as potato chips and soup. Do not add salt to food you cook. Limit your child's use of table salt.
- Give your child high-fiber foods. Foods that are a good source of fiber include vegetables, whole-grain bread, and beans.
What else can I do to manage my child's type 1 diabetes?
- Go to all follow-up appointments. Your child may need to return to have his or her A1c checked at least 2 times each year. Your child may also need tests to check his or her blood pressure, cholesterol, eyes, and feet.
- Have your child exercise as directed. Exercise can help keep your child's blood sugar level steady. Encourage your child to exercise for at least 60 minutes on most days of the week. Help your child include activities 3 days each week that strengthen his or her muscles and bones. Work with your child's healthcare provider to create an exercise plan.
- Check your child's blood sugar level before and after exercise. Healthcare providers may tell you to change the amount of insulin your child takes or food he or she eats. If the blood sugar level is high, check your child's blood or urine for ketones before you exercise. Do not let your child exercise if the blood sugar level is high and he or she has ketones.
- If your child's blood sugar level is less than 100 mg/dL, have him or her eat a carbohydrate snack before exercise. Examples are 4 to 6 crackers, ½ banana, 8 ounces (1 cup) of milk, or 4 ounces (½ cup) of juice. Have your child drink water or liquids that do not contain sugar before, during, and after exercise. Ask your dietitian or healthcare provider which liquids your child should drink when he or she exercises.
- Help your child maintain a healthy weight. Ask your child's healthcare provider how much your child should weigh. A healthy weight can help control your child's diabetes. Ask your child's healthcare provider to help you create a weight loss plan for your child if he or she is overweight. The provider can help your child set reasonable weight loss goals.
- Check your child's feet each day for sores. Have your child's feet checked at least 1 time each year for problems that may develop if his or her diabetes is not controlled. Make sure his or her shoes and socks fit correctly. Ask your child's healthcare provider for more details about foot care.
What other care will my child need for type 1 diabetes?
- Make sure your child always wears medical alert jewelry or carries a card that says he or she has diabetes. Ask your child's healthcare provider where to get these items.
- Give instructions to your child's school. Make sure your child's teachers know he or she has diabetes. Provide written instructions about what to do if your child has symptoms of high or low blood sugar levels at school.
- Do not smoke around your child. Do not let others smoke around him or her. Do not let your older child smoke. Nicotine and other chemicals in cigarettes and cigars can cause lung and heart damage.

The Five Ideal Cigar Lighters
So you have taken a liking to the wonderful planet of fine cigars. Initially, the aromas, relaxation, and fellowship pulled you in so you bought a number of sticks. Naturally your collection speedily grew and now you locate oneself in a full-on hobby, a tasty hobby, I may possibly add. One particular point you could not have anticipated from all this stogie madness is all the little issues that go together with cigar smoking: the humidor, cutter, and lighter, just to name a few. And even though you can find just also several aspects from the cigar world to consider for this short article, I believed I may give a couple of pointers in the way from the all-important cigar lighter, possibly probably the most crucial cigar accessory it is possible to own (tied using the humidor needless to say).
Initial of all, there are several methods to light a cigar, some far better than other people, and some you merely should not attempt (trust me, I've lit my stogies in methods I care not to mention). Now I am confident you have heard this currently, but I'm going to mention it anyways - throw out that Bic lighter! Cigars deserve a lot more respect than that, they have unique wants?Kerosene as well as other oil-based lighters (Zippos) ought to not be used for cigars since it taints the flavor on the cigar. Matches can be utilised to light up, but keep away from sulfur tips (strike anywhere) as they also will have a foul taste. Yet another downside to matches is you will finish up making use of half the box if you are going to acquire a suitable light. Some will light cedar sticks known as "cedar spills" and use these to light the cigar, but most select a butane torch lighter; clean-burning, straightforward to carry, and affordable for essentially the most element?this is what you want.
What to look for
When producing that vital selection of what lighter to buy, you'll notice immediately there is a lot of choices available! In the widely varying prices, to size, brand, and more, you can find normally 5 variables I watch for.
You happen to be going to become employing this thing a lot (I hope), make certain it really is one thing that catches you happen to be eye. It ought to also be effortless to match within your pocket, so never get some ridiculous dragon-shaped torch?br/>
Ease of Use:
Once more, you may be making use of this typically, a great lighter needs to be simple to fill, open, and light. Look for lighters that open and light simultaneously in the event you actually desire to avoid a hassle.
Flame Count:
This is completely as much as the person, one flame will take longer to obtain the cigar started but performs fantastic for all those fine touchups. 3 flames will get you up and operating with no concerns asked. Like you could count on, two flames is kind of just like the best of each worlds! (in my opinion)
Fuel Capacity:
Anything you might not consider to search for, a small fuel size can get rather annoying rather fast. A good lighter must be able to manage a table of cigar smokers no dilemma. Around the other hand, a lighter can get relatively bulky using a big fuel tank, try to locate an excellent balance.
This can be essentially the most critical issue for any good lighter. What's the point inside a lighter that does not light?! The very best lighters light each time, no exceptions. And although the top-of-the-line lighters are usually one of the most reputable (naturally), a reliable lighter can be discovered at a decent value, you just need to have to know exactly where to look. Consequently, a "cheapy" lighter is almost guaranteed to become unreliable, steer clear of those "great deal" $5 lighters in case you want anything that can function when it ought to.
So what lighters are available? What brands can we trust to deliver on all or most of these aforementioned traits? Although I have not attempted 'em all (who has?), I've been around long adequate to get an excellent feel of which lighters are the "real deal" and which ones just?blow. In my opinion, they are a few of the most effective cigar lighters out there for the hard-earned money.
The Best five Cost-effective Cigar Lighters
#5. Blazer Optimus
This is an intriguing and uncommon lighter in that there's actually a guillotine cigar cutter built in! On the front in the Blazer Optimus is actually a magnetically held cutter that just slides off and on. The blazer also includes a good lighting mechanism because the cover doubles because the striking button. Around the downside, the Optimus is a tiny bit bulky in size and doesn't really feel as strong as others on this list, loosing the guillotine cutter also can be a problem which compromises the look and feel, be careful to maintain this lighter in a single piece.
#4. Colibri Evoke
The Colibri Evoke is a single flame torch lighter created with style and class in thoughts. The Evoke can be a slim, metallic lighter which will fit into any pocket with ease. It features a flip-top that feels quite strong and smooth, this also reflects the lighter's greater $55 value variety. There is a viewing window around the side to gauge your butane plus a punch cutter that opens from the bottom. This is a really solid and dependable lighter with attributes (and value) that may not be appreciated by the beginner.
#3. Xikar Tech
This really is your traveling lighter: durable, simple to operate, and one particular huge butane reservoir! The Xikar Tech is a single torch lighter that simply gets the job completed. Having a big flame adjustment wheel around the bottom (no screwdriver!) and a clear body, this issue makes it extremely simple to manage that oh-so-precious butane. Having a fair $30 cost range, this is a must-have for the traveling aficionado.
#2. Vector Vulcan
The Vulcan can be a solid, triple flame torch lighter. The issue I really like about it's the lighting mechanism, situated on the side in the lighter, just squeeze the lighter as well as the prime opens although giving an enormous triple-flame burst of heat! The Vector Vulcan features a nice heavy weight inside the hand feel also as extras like a punch cutter in the bottom and an easy fuel gauge on the side. Be cautious even though, because the triple flame makes use of triple the fuel, something to bear in mind. At $50, the price feels a little steep, try to locate this lighter on sale, you won't be disappointed.
#1. Xikar Element
That is a beast of a lighter! The Xikar Element is a double-flame torch lighter that seems to have the best of almost everything. A solid, heavy, metal really feel allows you to know this issue aint breaking, and hey, if somehow it does - it really is assured for life, no concerns asked! Go ahead, run this factor through its courses, you are going to never ever require another lighter. Once more, the lighting operation is seamless, press the button on top and the cover slides to expose the double-flame (my favorite)! The Element also has the added gizmos like punch cutter and fuel gauge, with front and back side-grips to make sure a steady light. Using a mid-range $45 price tag tag, cigar lovers of all levels will locate this to become a terrific mixture of style, top quality, and reliability.

Haha $1,000 for a 690 card, whos really that dumb? If I had that much of a hard on to play 3 monitors at 4k resolution each, I think I would just wait 3 months for the price to get cut in half.
why do nvidia rarely give any performance increase data about the 670?
These driver updates always name the 660 but I have a 660ti, is it safe to assume the changes it lists under 660 are similar for my card?

Saudi Arabia says it will support the United States in its efforts to set up a coalition to fight terrorism. But other countries in the Middle East, notably Iran and Syria, have expressed reservations about joining any military attacks.
The custodian of the Islamic world's holiest sites, Saudi Arabia, says it will stand with the United States in its campaign against Osama bin Laden, named by U.S. officials as a prime suspect in last week's attacks on New York and Washington.
Mr. Bin Laden is a Saudi dissident who is believed to be in Afghanistan and being sheltered by its ruling Taleban government. Several Saudi nationals have also been named as the suspected hijackers of planes used in the attacks.
Saudi Arabia's King Fahd told his cabinet that the kingdom is prepared to cooperate with the United States to combat terrorism in all its forms. The country's religious authorities have also backed the king's stance.
The head of Saudi Arabia's Muslim community, Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Aziz al-Shaikh, says Muslims must reject such terrorist acts in order to avoid the wrath of Allah.
Saudi Arabia is one of three countries that recognizes the Taleban as Afghanistan's legitimate rulers.
But Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has told his nation that punishing Afghanistan might cause a human catastrophe and could create more problems for the United States. Although Iran is openly hostile to the Taleban government, it is bowing out of any potential U.S.-led international coalition to confront terrorism.
Ayatollah Khamenei argues that the actions of a few Muslims do not provide the authorization to repress other Muslims with an attack on Afghanistan.
Syria as well says there must be United Nations backing before it will join any strategy to strike at terrorist networks.
The United Arab Emirates, which like Saudi Arabia is a U.S. ally in the Persian Gulf, also recognizes the Taleban government. President Sheikh Zaid bin Sultan al-Nahayan is calling on the United States to be patient and certain of the evidence so that any response against terrorism will have international legitimacy.

Generations of Yale students share stories about special moments in Vincent Scully's courses on art and architecture. Scully's wide-ranging knowledge counted, but it was the presentation that made the difference. Scully was a charismatic figure on the stage; his focus and passion made him a memorable classroom and public lecturer. No doubt it was the drama that prompted Time magazine to name him one of the ten "Great Teachers" in the United States in 1966. The first story I heard–now long ago–about Scully came from a political science major who was in one of Scully's classes in the mid-1960s. He described how in one lecture Scully spontaneously responded to the image projected on the screen, seeing something new in what was to him a familiar image. As Scully described his new insight, he became so absorbed in his dialogue with the image and with the class that he stepped back to the edge of the stage and fell off. But he did not stop talking. He finished his point and then resumed the lecture back on the stage. Was it true? My friend insisted it was. Is it important that my friend did not tell me the work of art at issue? Perhaps. Is it relevant that my friend acquired from Scully a life-long interest in architecture? Of course.
His lectures were rhetorical, emotive and connotative. He did not marshal evidence in the usual academic way; he inclined toward an intuitive and declarative style, and it was often difficult to grasp the evidential links in the transit from projected image to the meaning he proposed. But if some students were not quite sure how it was done, they came away with an expansive and humanistic appreciation of architecture.
Undergraduates were not, however, Scully's only audience at Yale. A large number of the architecture students who came in contact with him found inspiration and guidance into the central issues of modern architecture theory and practice. Among them were some of the most important architects practicing today, including Robert A.M. Stern, the current dean of architecture at Yale, to say nothing of the considerable number of architecture writers spawned in his classes. This collection of Scully's essays invites a larger audience into that extended conversation.
Scully's approach to architecture emphasized what he called "visual empiricism." He translated his experience of a site or building into words. It was a subjective approach, yet he often presumed that his experience–and his interpretation of that experience–was universal. It comes as no surprise that he was early influenced by Carl Jung, and he expected to find universal archetypes in human form-making. Over time, his understanding of archetypes moved away from Jung's ahistorical universalism to historically specific precedents, though a rhetorical tendency toward universal claims remained. He also emphasized the importance of empathy to understanding the experience of a building. This method was manifested on the printed page by fluent prose and warm sympathy. Often, however, the visual evidence Scully presented was neither supported by archeological or textual evidence, nor did it seem to express quite so much as he claimed. His most famous book, The Earth, the Temple, and the Gods: Greek Sacred Architecture (1962), revealed, at least to some, the perils of Scully's subjectivity, and it received rather rough treatment from classicists, one of whom referred to its "mystical approach."
While Scully is not likely to be remembered as one of the great architectural historians, he may find a place among the gallery of distinguished American critics–like Montgomery Schuyler, Lewis Mumford and Ada Louise Huxtable–for his historically grounded but engaged architectural criticism. That possibility is enhanced by the well-chosen essays in this volume. Not only did Neil Levine, professor of architectural history at Harvard, make an excellent selection, he also provided a brief but illuminating biographical essay tracing Scully's career. Better yet, the headnotes he has written for each of Scully's essays are themselves gemlike mini-essays. Since the pieces here reprinted were mostly written for special occasions, Levine identifies the significance of each occasion and the place of the essay in the context of architecture culture and in relation to Scully's developing ideas.

Can anyone of those who attended the Geneva Conference explain to pro-democracy protesters in Syria how will their proposed plan end the massacres, the ethnic cleansing and the ongoing partition of the country? I have read the full text of their final communiqué and I still can't understand how they plan to accomplish this.

Today's Death toll: 114. The Breakdown: 32 in Damascus (30 in the Suburbs and 2 in the City), 27 in Hama, 20 in Homs, 13 in Deir Ezzor, 6 in Idlib, 4 in Aleppo, 4 in Daraa and 1 in Lattakia.
In a new provocation of Turkish authorities, pro-Assad militias shell the refugee camp of Kilis right across the border http://youtu.be/Fk3w1RT6zgY
Recent weeks have seen an escalation in the number of Syrian troops fleeing the country. The troops flee as the international community has failed to decide on a unified response to the crisis in Syria.
Op-Eds & Special Reports
Mounting Pressure on the Syrian Army Unless the army finds a way to relieve growing pressure on its capabilities and cohesion, it will likely collapse, sweeping away much of the regime in the process.
"A combination of military operations by the local resistance with aerial cover from the U.S. and allies will shortly provide a separation of forces between the few real areas that are still loyal to the regime and the majority of the country which has joined the revolution. It's at this stage that talks over transition can truly begin."
Putin's Gambit
I agree that Russia's position on Syria is not about Syria. But it's not simply about the question of who makes the call on international issues either. Russians have their own doublespeak as well, and we just have to find ways to decipher it which the Russians themselves often provide. In my conversations with Russian policy experts back in late May, mention of Saudi Arabia was as frequent as that of Syria and the U.S. The bottom line was: "what can you (the opposition) and the Saudis can offer us to help us change our position?" Some did indeed put it as bluntly as this, so I didn't really have to struggle to piece things together.
Putin views developments in Syria as a new front for the struggle between Saudi Arabia and Iran, and he believes that Saudi is the main sponsor of the Syrian opposition. If Saudi wants to prevail on this front Russia would like to help for a price.
And the price is not a port along the Syrian coast, Russia already has that and has no plans to give it up, nor do they see that a need for such a move could seriously arise. The opposition, in their view, will never be able to control the coastal areas and force such a development.
And the price is not a multi-billion dollar arms deal with Saudi, albeit they wouldn't mind that. But that is not as urgent a need as this stage as that other thing that Putin really needs: driving oil prices up! Current oil prices coupled with chronic mismanagement and corruption in Russian circles will soon translate into an economic nightmare for Russia where the elite has until recently lived in the same kind of cocoon that the Ben Alis, the Mubaraks, the Salehs, the Gaddafis and the Assads have been living in: they thought they were invincible. Then came the Arab Re-Awakening, and Putin and his crowd saw in that, rightly, a clear warning sign.
In order to avoid what happened to Arab regimes, Russian officials knew they had little time to tackle some very knotty economic and developmental problems in record time. But for that, they need cash, and plenty of it, and for this they need higher oil prices which constitute the quickest possible fix to their problems.
But Saudi cannot deliver on that without American approval, and Obama cannot give his approval on something like this during elections season, and so long as the economic situation in the U.S. and the E.U. remains as problematic as it is today. Higher oil prices might good for Russia among few other countries, not to mention oil companies, but, at this stage, they are bad for the world.
So, Russia cannot have what it wants at this stage, and that means that Russia cannot be part of the solution in Syria.

Vulture's Dos and Don'ts for Making Your Own 'Friday'-Style Hit
Come and learn about the wonderful Ark Music Factory.
By now, you're probably familiar with Rebecca Black and her magnificent "Friday" video, that very viral ode to the weekend, partying (partying YEAH!), and the difficulties of choosing a seat in your friend's car. (If you aren't, today is Friiiday! Friiiday! It's the perfect day to watch it!) Discovered, aptly, last Friday, the video has since racked up 13 million YouTube views, made Rebecca a household name, and introduced the world to the Ark Music Factory, an L.A. production company that makes cheesy-yet-brilliant music videos for wannabe tween pop stars. The problem is: Ark Music charges parents to produce these videos (and one of the producers insists on rapping in a majority of the songs). But worry not, aspiring Ark stars! Vulture spent many hours with the back catalogue to determine what exactly makes an Ark Music Video so successful. We offer them to you now, free of charge, in the hopes that you will go forth and Auto-Tune. To the Ark!

Ephemerality and transformation, light and shadow, structure and collapsibility, the designed and the organic are all qualities that I explore in my work to manufacture moments of surprise and delight.
I believe in the universal concept of wonder. The lump in your throat, swelling emotion when you look out into a vast ocean, a sunbeam breaks through the clouds or when you stare at the rain through a foggy window. A sense of mystery, calm and peace wash over.
This initial reaction to the object then progresses into a curiosity about the process. Using my industrial design training, I devise systems and processes to create these works using computer aided design and man-made materials. Once the planning is done, the execution becomes meditative with its repetitive tasks and rhythm. And I find peace.

Shotgun Heroon December 9, 2012 at 4:52 pm
Please go vote to keep Legacy Control on Kotaku every Sunday! As I'm "going pro" the extra traffic and exposure is really helpful and it only takes a moment to do it. Please spread the word, and tell your friends to vote too! Also, there are a few other friends of Legacy Control that you can vote for (as you can pick 10 comics total). Nerd Rage, Unicorn Soup and Nerf This. Thanks so much!
As I've mentioned before, I LOVE the load-uot system Treyarch has employed in Black Ops II. You have 10 slots and you can assign them however you see fit. What I, and many other combatants, choose more times than not it seems, is a "run-n-gun" shotgun class. In this class you essentially shoos nothing but perks that make you a super human. You can run like the wind and jump from any height and take not damage…you are essentially a superhero…that shoots peoples face off.
So this is my first official day as a stay-at-home full time comic creator. So far I am loving it. The biggest perk? I get to hang with my son all day and he is a pretty cool little dude. When my daughter was his age, I was abel to hang out with her all the time as I had a second shift job. So I've really never had this with the boy and it feels nice.
Have a happy Moday…if you dare.

Man has developed many synthetic fibers that can do some amazing things. DuPont has a synthetic fiber called kevlar which is incredibly strong and may actually be used in construction or in the toughest parts of car bodies. Other synthetic fibers like silicone rubber are tough and elastic. Man has had a hard time making a synthetic fiber that is both strong and elastic, but recent studies of abalone shells at the University of California at Santa Barbara may soon make that possible.
The abalone shell is about 3,000 times more fracture resistant than a single crystal of the material of which the shell is made-calcium carbonate. The key is a polymer adhesive made up of protein molecules. The protein has a unique modular structure that resembles a series of springs linked together. The springs are uncoiled one at a time when the molecule is stressed, thus protecting the molecules of calcium carbonate. When the stress is released, the springs coil back to their original structure.
By copying God's design for the abalone shell, scientists hope to develop synthetic fibers for high performance applications. Many things man has done have been simply copies of the wonder-working hand that has gone before. -Reference: Advanced Materials and Processes, November, 1999.

The Podling Project Management Committee (PPMC) is the government of the project. It
consists of ASF mentors and initial committers. The committee is responsible for the
project and decides what to do and which direction to go.
(see here for more information)
First of all you have to think how you want to participate as we have different kind of roles like user, developer, committer. The easiest way is to use what we build as user. If you want to improve parts of the software, or documentation, write to our mailing lists what should be modified and how it should be done.
The following are conditions to become a committer:
If 1 of the 4 statements above are true, then you can be voted in as committer.
When the vote result is positive, you will be asked for some information to setup
your committer status.
(see here for more information)
The following is a brief summary of what to expect as committer:
After your (individual Contributor License Agreement (iCLA) has been received and registered, you will be invited to specify one or more preferred Apache user names.
The e-mail address you provide in your iCLA will be used for the following communications with you.
Please note that there is also a Corporate Contributor License Agreement (CCLA) if you want/have to commit in the name of a company or organization.
Choose one or more user name(s) that would be acceptable to you. These are short names or abbreviation that will be used for a Unix account login.
Your name is "John Doe", so an ID could be "johnd" or "jdoe". Here you can see if the ID is still free or already given to another committer.
Supply all other information that is requested. Return the ID requests as instructed.
When your choices are returned, the first request that does not conflict with an already-issued ID will be used to generate an Apache ID. Write them in the order you would like to have, so the first one is the most wanted.
You will receive an e-mail, from "email@example.com", that confirms the Apache user name for you and also provides you with an initial password. There are also instructions for changing your password. Please be patient as this mail can take some days.
The ID will also be your Apache e-mail address. Note that the account will be set up to forward all received mails to the e-mail address you supplied on your iCLA. It is not a normal mail account but just for forwarding. After you have the account there is also a way to associate your Apache e-mail address with additional e-mail addresses that you have. (ToDo: Add a link to a how-to)
The ID and password will allow you to check in changes and new additions on the Apache SVN repository for the ODF Toolkit incubator repository. The ability to check in material on the SVN repository is important for more than code. All committers will have an use for it.
The ID and password will allow you to login to a personal Unix account on the Apache server "people.apache.org". You can produce a personal website at this account as well as use it as a regular Unix (specifically, FreeBSD) account. You do not need to be able to use this account. You may find it useful as you become more accomplished as a committer.
Being a committer also grants access to some non-public resources and mailing lists. There are details in the private committers SVN tree.
See the Guide for new committers and the Committers' FAQ for more information.
Voting is done when a formal decision has to be made or due to legal reasons, e.g.,
to vote in new members as committers. In any case avoid voting as the normal way is
to come to a decision by discussions. The initiator is responsible for the vote,
that means also to count the votes and present the result. Every member has 1 vote.

Common Sense Dies!
Posted on June 14, 2010 in Politically Incorrect JOKES!
An Obituary printed in the London Times – Interesting and sadly rather true. Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He […]

We have another interesting interview with Principal Exterior Level Designer Gary Platner and In-game Cinematic Project Director Terran Gregory by VG247. Check out the highlights!
Check out the full interview over at VG247.
Interview Highlights
Alex Afrasiabi designed Battle for Azeroth like it would be the last expansion; they didn't hold back, went for the mega, and seized the day on design. Terran is really sad that gnomes didn't make an appearance in the cinematics, but CGI has its limitations to how many characters can be created. Siege of Lordaeron included more characters than any other Blizzard CGI film before. It's Blizzard's mission to tell the most compelling and emotional story that they can. Making everyone enjoy the story in the same way is an impossible goal. With the release of Warbringers: Sylvanas, Horde players started to show their discontent. There's even been one extreme case of targeted harassment aimed at Christie Golden. Creating a story that revolves around an all-out war required bold decisions. They knew the reactions to the burning of Teldrassil would be passionate, but they did exceed their expectations. Storytelling is about highs and lows. Old Soldier would not have resonated so well without Warbringers: Sylvanas. WoW is a living, breathing game. The team's always looking for ways to improve it. They'll support WoW for as long as the players continue to give them support. From a story perspective, they wondered how great an end WoW would need to have. It's an evergreen franchise that they've maintained like a "carefully-tended bonsai tree."

We have the inaugural hotfixes of Battle for Azeroth! We have a whole lot of quest fixes, including the inability to start second or third War Campaign Footholds, as well as mounts and dungeons getting a look.

Captured Dune Scavenger is now usable by both Horde and Alliance characters. Chewed-On Reins of the Terrified Pack Mule is now learnable and usable by Alliance characters. Quests
The Nazmir quest "Poisoning the Brood" will now share credit to party members. The Targets for "A Wall of Iron" will now respawn more frequently. Players that were in the vicinity of, but did not get credit for killing Vilank'dor, will once again be able to complete the quest "To Sacrifice a Loa". Fixed an issue where too many enemies were participating in "Mojambo". Players should now be able to advance and complete "Devour Humanoid". "Adapting Our Tactics" can now be abandoned and re-accepted after selecting an upgrade to pursue Players who disconnect during "Rodrigo's Revenge" can now continue the quest. "The Last Witch Doctor of Krag'wa" will no longer talk to nearby players who are not on the quest. Crawgs in "Great Brewfest Kodo" will now respawn more frequently. Adjusted the range of the Seaforium Smoke Grenade on "Boom goes the Bomb" so that it can better go boom. Interacting with the Mysterious Brew during "Enforcing Fate" should now reliably grant credit. Fixed an issue that could cause players to be unable to select their second or third War Campaign Footholds. Players who had previously been stuck in this state may now interact with the scouting map near Halford or Nathanos to choose a Foothold. Previous Patch 8.0.1 Hotfixes
