Cars 3 – Extended Trailer
As dads we see our fair share of Disney movies. Like it or not it kinda comes with the territory I suppose. Most of the time at least the storytelling is solid, especially where Pixar is concerned. And by the looks of this latest trailer for the newest installment of Cars 3 will not disappoint.
Slated for release on June 16th, this will no doubt be a big hit for families this summer. The first teaser trailer we saw looked pretty dark and I honestly didn't know what to make of it. McQueen crashes violently and then total darkness. That's it. Thankfully this new one has a much lighter tone as Lightning is focused on climbing back to the top. It looks to be a great lesson in perseverance for the kids and an entertaining one at that.
For those of you unfamiliar with the Cars franchise I would suggest watching the first one before seeing this. The second one you can skip all together unless you're in the mood to be tortured by awful humor attempts from a redneck tow truck (Tow Mater).
Luckily for us, Mater is nowhere to be found in this trailer and we can hope he doesn't even make a cameo in the film. I for one am excited to see Pixar continue to pump out great movies and hope this lives up to expectations. This way when I watch them with the kids I won't have to pretend I'm enjoying myself.
We'll find out soon.

Click here to visit the official FACE site.
FACE is a faith-based community benefit organization resource and training center for families, churches, agencies and businesses that are collaborating for community transformation primarily in the Robinson neighborhood in Fresno, CA.
FACE emerged out of North Fresno Church's long history of intentional neighborhood ministries. From as early as 1969 to the establishment of SART (Social Action Response Team) in 2003, the church has been committed to working with the Robinson neighborhood.
The mission of FACE is to address the needs of struggling families living primarily in the Robinson neighborhood and to mobilize and equip people for community transformation.
The Robinson neighborhood has been identified as an area of concentrated poverty. 100% of students at Robinson Elementary are eligible for free and reduced lunches. Less than a third of parents have graduated from high school.
Caring for Individuals: Healing and Growth
People become healthier as they receive relational, emotional and spiritual support from prayer partners and care teams. Adults and children are welcomed into programs promoting healthy lifestyles and academic enrichment.
Resourcing Families: Stabilizing
Struggling families become more stable when FACE shares and connects them to much needed resources.

Demand for UK tech visas continues rising around the world
4 min read
The first day of the weekend Full Stack Marketing #FullStack15 was billed as 'Scotland's best marketing event' and didn't disappoint. With speakers from leading SEO, content creation and product marketing companies, the crowd were treated to the complete digital marketing experience.
Director of Product Marketing for Cambridge based video hosting platform Wistia, Phil Nottingham, provided in depth statistically driven guidance on successful and unsuccessful approaches to video content. Attendees were treated to a great deck from Mike McGrail, founder of local digital marketing consultancy Velocity Digital, on the changing face of social media – you can check out his 'Pay to Play or Fade Away' deck online.
Following in depth presentations on optimisation from Kirsty Hulse of Lindex and Stacey McNaught of Tecmark, Dynamo PR Head of Digital, Lexi Mills gave an expert run through of the complicated history between SEO and PR.
Later in the day the Turing festival crowd heard from an SEO celebrity, Rand Fishkin via video link, followed by his colleague, Cyrus Shepherd in person. With Oli Gardner of Unbounce wrapping up the first day by comparing landing pages to the characters of Trainspotting in 'The Four Corners of Conversion', it was fair to say the debut events had it all.
Day 2 had a very different feel to the first, with billion dollar scale-ups the them. What was evident from the beginning of the festival is that FanDuel and Skyscanner are both very much still immersed in the grassroots tech scene, despite having workforces deep into the hundreds, valuations over a billion and huge user bases (Skyscanner has 48m+ unique visitors per month and FanDuel has over 1.1m paying customers). Edinburgh is one of the few UK cities to have produced two unicorns.
Co-founders of both companies gave talks and participated in panels, not to mention providing sponsorship money to fund the event. Joining them on stage was another Edinburgh based founder & CEO, FreeAgent's Ed Molyneux, who shared 10 great tips for creating a profitable business. In addition to huge Scottish tech companies, attendees heard from Zendesk co-founder, Morten Primdahl; SimilarWeb co-founder & CEO, Or Offer; and DueDil co-founder & CEO, Damian Kimmelman.
With fintech highlighted as a notable sector in the first Tech Nation report, Jamie Coleman, Founding Director of the Festival and Managing Director of Codebase, gave an in depth presentation on the growth of financial technology, which provided an opportunity for him to receive a well deserved rapturous round of applause for organising the festival.
After such a strong weekend, with a great mix of content and world class speakers, we'll definitely be attending next year. If you'd like to do the same, sign up for early bird tickets.

Enjoyed working with these fine fellow mentors, and the students and administration of EIA!
Click through to read Nine takeaways from keynotes at the European Innovation Academy in Nice, France this summer. All the presentations are linked there too.
Thanks to Dany Augustinho, an innovation specialist at Amadeus IT Group, for including mine!
Dany writes, "90% of startups fail. Every entrepreneur should bear this in mind. So, if you've been playing around with our APIs, and considering launching a startup in the near future, it is time to learn from the experts!
"For the third year in a row, Amadeus has sponsored the European Innovation Academy, a summer school that teaches students from the world's most prestigious universities – and some selected Amadeus employees – how to innovate and launch a startup. Three weeks is all that it takes for them to find the right idea, draft a business model, prototype their product and learn how to fund their project."
Here's my keynote, which used Product Hunt as an example: "How Meaningful Community Can Grow Your Revenue"
A few slides...click through to Slideshare to view the full presentation.
And what a surprise appearance in the keynote of another mentor in the program, Gigi Wang's "Know Your Customer: Customer Persona & Customer Validation"!

Had the second appointment for my crown earlier today. This was basically just making sure it fit and then glueing it in place. No anesthesia or anything needed, so all-in-all quite a relaxed experience. Plus I got to keep the mold they made of my jaw last time. Pretty cool ornament to have on display. 😉 Now let's see if I'll be smiling when the bill's arrived. I'm still not quite sure what percentage will be paid by my insurance company.
Maand: maart 2006
Civ I
Fired up the original Civilization for a spot of retrogaming earlier today. Though I've played most later versions of the game, this one still remains my favourite, despite it's now clunky interface. To quote why it was chosen the #1 of the 150 Best Games of All Time in 1996:
While some games might be equally addictive, none have sustained quite the level of rich, satisfying gameplay quite like Sid Meier's magnum opus. The blend of exploration, economics, conquest and diplomacy is augmented by the quintessential research and development model. [..] Just when you think the game might bog down, you discover a new land, a new technology, another tough foe – and you tell yourself, "just one more game," even as the first rays of the new sun creep into your room…the most acute case of game-lock we've ever felt.
Bought a Powerball recently. Nice way to exercise my wrists and parts of my arms.
It is a gyroscopic toy sold commercially as a wrist exerciser device. It can be started with a short rip string or by a snap of the thumb. Once the gyroscope inside is going fast enough, a person holding it in his hand can accelerate the gyroscope to incredibly high revs by following a circular wrist motion with the device.
Went to the Huishoudbeurs yesterday. It's basically an opportunity for all kinds of companies to sell lot's of stuff to (mostly female) consumers. Originally household appliances, but more and more products have been added over the years. I tried not to go to overboard, unlike some, as there were plenty of people there who brought suitcases to take home their spoils! I purchased a set of Herôme French Manicure which I tend to use and now was on offer. And a couple of packetss of Bolletje Eindeloos which was going cheap and was unable to ignore.
I also had to opportunity to check out the new Citroën C1. If I ever were to purchase an automobile I wouldn't mind something like that. But I'm biased, my parents have allway driven Citroën. From the classic C2V to their current, the C5.
Only one point of irritation, as the trains didn't go to Schiphol just as we were heading home, because people had been sighted in the tunnel. Which lead us to take a detour past Haarlem. Ah well.
Iron Maiden
Can't remember when I'd been up this early on a Saturday morning. But the cause was worthy, as I just got back from the GWK to get tickets for the Iron Maiden show on November 27th. The queue wasn't that bad, but hearing the show in Norway had sold out in 20 minutes, I thought I'd better make an effort. Most annoying was a group of teens (that's it, I'm really getting old now) who arrived together but all bought their own ticket, instead of one of them buying 8 at once. Amateurs!
Just ordered the new Katatonia album, which is called 'The Great Cold Distance'. It's an additional birthday present. I tried to buy it in town last night, but all I got was blank stares upon requesting it at the various counters. Hm. Oh well, now I'll have it in a few days anyway.
One thing though, why is it that everywhere I go the Arctic Monkeys seem to be playing? They're really not that special, people. I just don't get the hype. Oh, almost forget something much more important. I found out Katatonia are playing Katwijk (of all places) on May 12th. Let's see if I can try and get tickets for that.
More good news, as I've just found out Agalloch have finished their upcoming album 'Ashes against the grain'. I'll try to get my hands on that as soon as it's available.
Green Mega Man
To quote young Mr. Cartman:
Cause it's my birthday, my bu bubu birthday…
And then I was twenty-seven.
Went to Utrecht on friday. Finally bought a Bamboo Steamer, which I'd wanted to try for ages. We had diner at De Lachende Kikker on saturday, which has the best steaks around. Unfortunatly my jaw was still a bit painful from the recenty dentistry. But it was delicious nonetheless.
Nothing beats the smell of your own burning gums. I had some work done this morning to prepare for a Crown which is to be placed at the end of this month. I had prepared for the very worst and thanks to lots of sedation, it turned out less worse than expected. Still, not exactly
fly fishing in Montana kinda fun. 🙂 Oh well, maybe the huge bottle of Perio-aid will help.
Dutch network Talpa have recently started airing HBO's Deadwood. I'm usually not a big fan of western type movies, but this show's quite different. I'm hooked.
Set in an ungoverned stretch of South Dakota soon after the 1876 Custer massacre, Deadwood concerns a lawless, evolving town attracting fortune-seekers, drifters, tyrants, and burned-out adventurers searching for a card game and a place to die. Others, particularly women trapped in prostitution, sundry do-gooders, and hangers-on have nowhere else to go. Into this pool of aspiration and nightmare arrive former Montana lawman Seth Bullock and his friend Sol Starr, determined to open a lucrative hardware business. Over time, their paths cross with a weary but still formidable Wild Bill Hickok and his doting companion, the coarse angel Calamity Jane; an aristocratic, drug-addicted widow trying to salvage a gold mining claim; and a despondent hooker who cares, briefly, for an orphaned girl. Casting a giant shadow over all is a blood-soaked king, Gem Saloon owner Al Swearengen, possibly the best, most complex, and mesmerizing villain seen on TV in years.

Catch more when winter fly fishing for trout with nymphs
Don't slip into the routine of fly fishing with lures this winter. Time your visit and you'll still find food to imitate. In fact, during winter, nymphing is Iain Barr's favoured method for reservoir rainbow trout…
For me, the winter months spent fly angling for trout are all about nymph fishing. Insects still live in our waters right through the winter with corixa thriving and buzzers hatching in the warmer part of the day.
The darting corixa loses the comfort of weedbeds and become easier, darting targets and small hatches of buzzers can insight a winter feeding frenzy. Bloodworm thrive in the soft beds of the lake making easy pickings for the now slumbering trout. All these are a good source of protein as the fish search for a fast-food diet exerting as little energy as possible.
Hoglouse can be abundant in the weeds and become vulnerable as the weed dies away. Many anglers associate winter fishing with throwing a long line and the gaudiest lure in their box, often a Booby. For me, there is no more pleasurable way to catch a fish other than on the nymph and the winter months are no exception.
With fewer and fewer fish rising on our reservoirs and lakes in the colder months, it is the nymph angler who is consistently taking the cream of the sport.
I favour nymph fishing over any method although I do enjoy dry flies and pulling lures when I have to. In recent years I have probably caught more than 70 per cent of my fish on nymphs, with that figure rising to near 90 per cent during winter months.
It has always been a mystery to me why I can go to my local reservoir or lake during the winter months and have it almost to myself.
I enjoy being out on those crisp winter mornings when a much appreciated glimmer of sunshine pokes through the dispersing cloud to warm my face.
Where to start?
Water temperatures plummet as the frosty nights set in so you must find warmer water where the hatches are likely to occur. This may mean fishing into a wind but don't just choose any bank. Look for a sloping gradient and not a deep bank.
Many anglers insist on throwing fast sinking lines as far as they can into a headwind in deep water.
They are probably casting past the fish as they will be feeding in the shallower, warmer water.
Land jutting out into water (points) will always be a favourable place as the often silted bed at the end of these promontories hold insect larvae that will try to hatch during the warmest part of the day. They also offer a bolt hole if disturbed as the fish slope off into the deeper water at the first sign of trouble. Try the bottom of bays in the corners where the wind is blowing into, this may offer a right-to-left or left-to-right wind.
This is larder for food, as a right angle corner of bank will have two currents bringing the food in.
Don't wade into the water as you will disturb the fish. Stand away from the shoreline and fan cast the water's edge just a few yards from the bank, covering as much water as possible.
A good friend of mine won the Fur & Feather match on Rutland last year in December on Buzzers fished no more than seven or eight yards from the bank!
If you are fishing in more that eight-10ft of water then you are probably fishing in water that is too deep. One of my best winter sessions came in early December with frost and ice on the bank. I actually took the fish on size 16 black dry flies and size 14 Thread Buzzers as they moved into the flooded banks of Rutland's North Arm. This was in the early 1990s and other anglers nearby also enjoyed a field day. It's funny though,
I returned the following week and there wasn't a fish to be seen.
Marginal weedbeds
Look for any remaining weedbeds near the margins. The headbobbing swans and diving coots and moorhens can tell you where the weed is. There will be an abundance of food in this weed and rest assured the trout know it's there too!
Hoglouse and corixa are likely to be here, so a Hare's Ear, Diawl Bach and Cruncher combination will work. Try to imitate the corixa with short six-inch pulls with eightsecond pauses in between.
Tackle set-up
You need the right tackle to fish into the wind. A fast-action rod is required to minimise the number of false casts. The greater the number of false casts, the less line speed you will generate as the wind pushes the line back at you.
It is important to punch the last cast hard into the wind to ensure you get the distance. Aim the last cast parallel to the water at head height for maximum distance. A high cast will only drop back at you, due to the head wind, and punching it hard at the water will result in the line crashing down. When fishing into a head wind, I always use a line weight heavier than the rod states.
Non-stretch leaders
I am renowned for my 22ft leaders but I will reduce this to about 16ft with just three flies when fishing into the wind, and will go down to two flies if the wind is very strong.
It is important to use fluorocarbon (largely invisible in water) as the water is often gin clear during the winter. The takes from rainbows aren't as aggressive as in the summer, so I tend to use lighter line and go as little as 6lb. You may be surprised at 6lb, but I catch most of my big fish during the winter months and don't want to get broke with the fish of a lifetime.
I always use a low or non-stretch line during winter. I tend to miss far too many subtle takes with stretch lines. The fish are preserving energy so will often just mouth the nymph instead of taking aggressively.
Fish them NZ style
I've had fantastic success fishing my nymphs New Zealand-style in the shallow, clear water.
I use a Floating Fry with a Cruncher positioned two foot below it. The Cruncher may imitate a corixa that has made the precarious journey to the surface for a gulp of air.
A small Black Buzzer is positioned four to six foot below that, providing perfect presentation as it drifts back towards you when fishing into the head wind. It also allows your flies to be out there for the maximum time possible.
If you were straight-line nymphing in the usual way, your flies could snag bottom in the shallow water, but the Floating Fry suspends the flies above snags and in full view of the trout.
Be patient
Don't get frustrated if the fish are not pulling your flies. There can often be just a short window of time during the lunchtime hours when the fish come on the feed.
Watch diligently for any sign of fly life and, as you see it, start fishing those nymphs.
If you wait too long the larvae would have all left the waterbed and the fish will have moved off the shallows. It really can be all over within an hour so make the change quickly.
Winter fishing can produce some explosive action and during the warmer days it can be full-on sport all day long. So why not go fly fishing, leave the lure box at home and use those nymphs? You will be surprised how successful they can be.
The best flies to try
Although the fish may be hungry they will not give themselves up easily if the nymph is not fished correctly. With a headwind or crosswind it is important to fish your flies static. With a headwind cast them out and just let them drift back to you, but keep your line tight. With a crosswind cast them out and let them swing naturally round in an arc.
Buzzers are mostly black and small during the winter so I opt for a size 10 grub hook or size 12 B175 Buzzer. This is still relatively big in comparison, but a tempting and realistic mouthful for the hungry fish.
For the corixa I use my tried and tested Crunchers and a Hare's Ear. They imitate any shrimps or hoglouse that may be lurking.

It's pretty amazing that, given the relentless march of technology designed to improve picture quality, no HDTV has defeated the overall mark set by the Pioneer Kuro plasmas way back in 2008. The secret of the Kuro's success is deep black levels, and while Panasonic and Samsung have made big strides in this department with their plasmas, LG has lagged behind, as evinced by models like the
Now LG aims to close the gap with a new TrueBlack filter, and the least-expensive LG plasma to feature this enhancement is the PK750 series. According to the company, "The incorporation of the TruBlack Filter reduces ambient light reflection, providing consumers with better black levels and improving contrast for a sharper and more detailed picture in a bright room." When we asked for more detail, LG's spokesman also claimed overall black level improvements in all lighting environments. We don't expect the PK750 to equal the picture quality of the vaunted Pioneer, but perhaps it can narrow the black level gap with the other two plasma makers. We're looking forward to a comparison review.
The PK750 also includes THX display certification, which might appeal to people who want a quick calibration. Our experience with the PS80, however, yielded better results after tweaking LG's extensive user-menu settings as opposed to using THX mode, and unlike that mode on Panasonic plasmas, the LG's THX settings can't be adjusted at all.
This TV also incorporates the company's Netcast suite of interactive features, first seen on the
Speaking of wireless options, all Netcast LG sets in 2010 can also work with an optional "Wireless Media Hub." When you connect your external sources, such as a Blu-ray player or a cable box, to the hub, it can send the signals to a special receiver wirelessly, which then connects to the TV. LG says the system has enough bandwidth for full 1080p and a range up to 98 feet. The hub and receiver are sold separately as a package, which we're told will retail for an estimated $399.
LG is also touting the 2-inch depth of these plasmas, which makes them lighter as well. The 60-inch model is 40 percent lighter, for example, at 95 pounds. We also appreciate the "single-layer" design, a carryover from the PS80 models that places a single panel of glass over the entire panel for a sleek look.
LG PK750 series features:
- TruBlack filter
- THX certification
- Netcast Interactive feature suite with Netflix, Vudu, Skype, Napster, YouTube, DivX, AccuWeather and Yahoo Widgets
- DLNA compatible for music, photos and video
- Optional "Wireless Media Hub" interface
- Optional wi-fi connection
- single-layer design

Get Accepted By Google AdSense, and How to Avoid Things Which Will Get You Denied
Making Money is Your Business... and Google AdSense is a Business as well
When a would be publisher applies to the Google AdSense Affiliate Program there seems to be one thing which they do not count upon. You can be denied by The AdSense affiliate program, as in for whatever reason there is, and it is a valid reason from Google, you can be denied.
People want to make money and they figure Google AdSense is the best way to do it... that is until their application is denied. Then, they will often run screaming to forums complaining that their AdSense application was denied-- to them for some unknown reason. There is a reason, but they often don't really like the reason they were given.
The truth? You can get accepted into the Google AdSense program with reasonable ease: as a publisher you must understand the terms of Service set out by the company. This is the three or four page contract which you should read before you hit the button "I accept" All too often, when you are denied it is because of not reading rules.
There are many reasons why you were denied by the many affiliate programs out there, but it boils down to about three things that make a denial from the Google AdSense program a possibility. The content of your websites, (all of them) not reading the TOS AdSense sets out, and also giving the company incorrect information- such as your email address or website. We all want money, but you do have to be careful, you are running a business after all.
In this case, there is some work you need to do with Google to get your AdSense account.
A Few Points About The Google AdSense Affiliate Program
I'll begin with hubpages, and what you need to do from here. You can read their FAQs to find out a bit of the steps involved in getting an account. In this case, you will need to make sure you follow it step by step and create a hub which people are already writing comments on.
If you have an account already congratulations, go to your affiliate settings on hubpages, and follow the instructions from there. This is your business, so plan to put that AdSense code in as soon as your get the publishers code.
If you don't have an AdSense account it's a bit more complex, but it seems to follow this pattern:expect to receive some email in regard to your application status to take about a week, try to have at least one high quality hub up so that you have some content that they can look at. Now, some people have said it takes about an hour to be approved, but that is if you have other accounts, such as a blogger account, and have content. Either way expect about a week before getting too excited.
Now Google AdSense will ask you for tons of information, your name address and email, which they will contact you with. Fill it out, all of it, even if you never use your middle name, fill that out as well. Address and all that other good stuff, and make sure your email is one you use, on a regular basis.
They will ask for a website, you need to fill this out as well. If it's for hubpages, follow hubpages instructions to the letter. If you do not follow these simple instructions your application will be denied. If you aren't and if you've read the contract you know that this is ground for Google to terminate your account.
Next step, they will give you terms and conditions, Read this Terms of Service very carefully noting what is and is not allowed on your websites, in fact reread it after you've been approved. This tells you the dos and don'ts. Check the box that you agree once you've filled out all this information.
Then wait.
Two things will happen you will either get a yes or a no. Here are the reasons why you get a no, and how and most important if you can fix it.
Why Was I Denied By AdSense?
One that seems to get most people is an email address: I have all of my google AdSense and its affiliates on one account. In other words, my blog, and my hubs and anything else I might have are all found on the same email address. If you want to have another email address it can cause problems if you have your various pieces of work on different email addresses.
By this I mean if your hubpages account is on "x" email address and you want your Google AdSense account to be on "Y" you might have problems. This isn't a big issue, really but it might get your application denied. This may look as if you might potentially have more than one account, or that you simply have not read the Terms of Service for AdSense. The TOS is very clear about what you can and can not do.
The simple way to fix this is to contact google with the email that you used to apply for the account and find out what you can do, sometimes it's as simple as verifying your email. Your written content, and photos are also important as they can make or break your application. By this it means no duplicate content, or anything that will be against their terms of service. Most of these things are clear.
Do not Get Denied By AdSense
There is one thing that will however get you denied, and/or removed from AdSense, and that is clicking on AdSense ads on any of your sites. Any of your sites. This means: Your hubs, your website, your blog whatever. Yes I know that there are those who will argue that they have a networked house, but it still is held as a rule. Click on your ads on your site and you will be denied, or lose your account.
So don't click on ads on your hubs or your website or whatever.
This one is a basic there is no help for you at that point, unless you can prove it was an accident, and that is very very rare. So don't click on your ads. Don't tell/suggest/whatever to get someone else to do it either. Just Don't.
Google AdSense also has a few other rules that can lead to your denial of an application, in this case it is saying that I own this site and you don't. If you can't prove it, they will say no. Same goes for an email, if you can't verify your email address you might be denied.
Why Me? I Need Money... But I Got Denied By AdSense
Google might deny you from its AdSense program should they suspect that you've done past click fraud. Now before you laugh think of it this way, if you click on some one's ads and then tell them that you've done it, it's on your IP address, which, by the way, you need to prove you are using it as your main IP address for your Google AdSense information.
This fact is critical when it comes to publishing a hub, the quality of the content might be great, but if you have a "record" of doing things on say, hubpages, AdSense does take this into account when seeing if you are a quality candidate. There is also the fact that some countries seem to have higher rates of "click fraud" than others. Which is why some take as much as 6 months of spotless activity on their record to get an AdSense account.
Google wants a publisher who can prove beyond a doubt that they publish quality original content that will stand the test of time, and will be updated and useful for years to come.
I know, you're probably thinking well why should I bother?
Because Google AdSense, does make people money, not a lot but the Google AdSense program never promised that you would make a lot of money. This is a business, and to make money you have to think like a business. Google AdWords is the reason why you make money with AdSense, so there is a cycle which we need to be aware of.
There is another small way you might be denied. this one might seem silly but Google themselves say you can't, and your application will be denied. Only one AdSense account per address per person. So, if you want to apply for an account it will be for you hubs, for your blog, for your website, for all of your online work.
So, if you've forgot your password, ask for it, as a second account is denied, even if you argument is that one is personal and one is business. It doesn't matter really, the reality is that to google you are running a business which you need to report on your taxes.
Why Was I denied... I think maybe....
Quality Content is a Must
The last one is denied based on content, if you have a more "adult" site they will say no thank you to your application so even your keyword choice or photos will have something to do with it. If you don't have anything on your blog/ hub google will deny your application. You hubs should not be sun and not duplicated in any way (as in can be found on hubpages and your blog) but also, it is about 1,500 words long or is very informative in some way.
The simplest way to fix this is to write a hub that is of reasonable length, or have a few posts, or get a few pages on your website with some "writing" on it. Then you can try it again.
So, while it is a big deal when you are denied, it does happen and if you follow the emails google sends there might be a way to get your application approved... it just might take some time. If you're still wondering the easiest answer book out there is Google AdSense for dummies, and it's a pretty easy to read book.
Take your time and you will be approved, if you're not find out why it happened (usually in the email google sends you) and how this can be fixed. If you can fix it, be quick and nice about it, it will get you a better response.
Thanks for the info Rebecca. I was denied today for my Adsense account due to "insufficient content" - I am new and have one 1600 word hub up so far (all original content). I am proof that one good, lengthy Hub is not always enough to get approved. I'm sure it also makes a difference that the email address I'm using is brand new (and created solely for blogging purposes) - perhaps Google doesn't trust that I'm going to be reliable? I'm going to write another and apply again. I hope it sticks this time!
Hi , the share is very informative and also useful to me, thanks for sharing
I've been disapproved a Google AdSense account for HubPages. And disapproved thrice.
The first time I had applied was when I had just joined. So obviously I was denied for 'Insufficient content' .
Second time, it was 'Unacceptable site content' last week. So I properly sourced all the images I had used thinking that might have been the reason.
And resubmitted the application.
But got disapproved the third time, this morning only I received an email, again 'Unacceptable site content'.
What am I supposed to do?
thanks -- I'll try it again!
Nice hub. Question:
I did not apply the adsens part through hubpages and i try blogger before coming here. So my questions is can i apply for another adsens account through my hubpage email? I trying my old account but got denied.
thanks rebecca and keep hubbing... you are helping people around you :)
best of luck from me :)
yes rebecca ....... feeling great. you know when i was no being accepted after many tries, i tried at least 17 times. i sent request again and again to adsense after making some changes... then one day i get accepted. and they at the first month i earned 1.90 dollar (lolz) but now i am getting payment every 3rd month. and the duration is becoming lesser day by day.. you know you are one of those persons who helped me in getting approval... today i wana thank you for that :)
Hi rebecca. i read your hub 1 year ago. i had asked you for help regarding my adsense aproval (my comment is still present above). Now am feeling very glad to tell you that i had got approved by adsense and i have got my first two payments successfully :)
thanks for the link. Tremendous hub telling it like it is. Rated up and useful...
hi nice article and it was quite helpful.
I hope i start making good money with adsense.
Nice Article like that again, but thank you.
Can you have a look on my hubs and tell me when should I sign up for google adsense and if my blogs are ok? or should I change my topics. Thank you.
what is the hub...n how to have teh hub published...
sorry i didn't get it...
i have many times tried to apply google adsense but those were denied...and last time i applied with hubpages.com google adsense said myhubpages is under construction...
And what am i supposed to do...
Great hub! Good information and guidelines. Well done.
rebecca, i truly got afraid, that it won't be selected. Please tell me yes or no. If i read tos then i know i am not going to understand anything since i am new to this. My all contents are pure and not copied. You can check it on copyscape.com. Please kindly say, yes or no, to be selected by adsense.
This hub is even more helpful than any of your others that I have read thus far (which hasn't been that many). I'm glad you wrote this one in particular.
I am unfortunate about adsense so far, I just noted that there is a policy that site owners from India should wait at least 6 months to submit their site.
hi i have applied for google adsense many time but it always says " unacceptable site content"
i don't know why. please visit my blog and suggest me what to do to get approval.
moreover i have made hub accout and posted a hub.
but to post new hub i need a new web address so i have to apply for google addsense for every hub?
moreover adds are appearing on my hub page. what should i do? is single hub is enough to get approval. my hub address is https://hubpages.com/health/doctoronline
and blog address is www.adilclinic.blogspot.com please visit these sites and advise me something i shall be thankful. regards :)
Get adsense account with your own pay name ,first get account then pay us.
A lot of people's issues with Adsense results from ignorance, caused by not reading the terms and conditions. Everything is clearly explained in their T & Cs and just by making sure you know what is and isn't acceptable can stop a lot of heartbreak. One minor sort of correction is that you can have more than one adsense account, one for personal and one for business use. But to be honest most people only use the one. Great hub by the way which I am sure will have helped a lot of people.
Hello. Can you please help me I am planning to submit my site to google ad sense but I am am not sure if it is ready for submission. Can you please check my site
http://jobs-dot-com.blogspot.om I really need your advice.
Hi Rebecca E., I've heard that having multiple blogs for Google Adsense may cause spamming suspicions and thus people have more than one account. Is this true? If a person had 15 blogs or websites with quality content that wouldn't be a problem would it?
Also, I recommend someone who doesn't have a Google Adsense account to write 3 to 4 Hubs on a similar subject and then applying for the account. Or on a blog, posting about 10 to 15 quality posts and starting to build traffic before putting up ads.
Thanks for writing the Hub.
This hub proves that the way to register our hubs an websites and blogs for Google needs to be simplified more. Some people have said it is deliberately made hard for people to complete. You have to have real determination to get to the end of it. Pulling teeth would be easier. Great Hub, Rebecca!
nice and helpful article
Very helpful! Thanks!
Thanks once again. Very informative, helpful and a must read again.
Thank you for the suggestion. I have been denied once. Now I am planning to apply again.
I have applied and they (google) have acknowledged the applcation but I have heard nothing more from them. This was weeks ago! When I go to their site I get this trite little message about my account application having been accepted and that they will be back in touch with me with in 2-3 days!!!! Any idea what gives?
very interesting hub, thanks for the info rebecca, keep up the good work, love your hubs
Thanks for posting there are many different things to learn on this subject, im happy to have come across your information
Still the best way is to get a blog with Blogger, and monetize from there. However, if those people still resort to dishonest means, Google will still ban their account.
Thanks rebecca for the info..in my case i applied for adsense about 2 years back making a blog spot page and it was useless and was denied.. so o forgot about adsense all together until i came here and applied again by making another Gmail and then they said i already has an account approved so i shd use that.. i was u know surprised, i had a google account for 2 years and didn't know it.. strange wasn't it.
Nice Thanks for the info! The following was sent to me by adsense. No really sure what to do at this point.
Thank you for your interest in Google AdSense. After reviewing your
application, our specialists have found that it does not meet our program
criteria. Therefore, we are unable to accept you into our program.
We have certain policies in place that we believe will help ensure the
effectiveness of Google ads for our publishers as well as for our
advertisers. We review all publishers, and we reserve the right to decline
any application. As we grow, we may find that we are able to expand our
program to more web publishers with a wider variety of web content.
Please note that we may not be able to respond to inquiries regarding the
specific reasons for our decision. Thank you for your understanding.
The Google AdSense Team
Not a big fan of Adsense unless you have a very high traffic website. That is the only way you will make the big money. But none the less you can still earn a few bucks with them. Your best bet are affiliate programs. Nice hub!
Rebecca, I agree with you 100%. Love K.
I can't seem to get eBay to put me in their little program & I have a store there! I don't understand the "different email" issue, but I think that is probably the deal with mine. Thanks for a really good article.
Dr. Marie
very good info, i only want to ad that even after your adsence is approved (my was approved right away, without any problems, maybe because i had 2 blogs already)
there are still more things to do before you can get paid (when you reach $100). Google needs to verify your tax id number, then bank account number, if it is going to be direct deposit, then pin number etc. So be patient and keep writing Love K.
I think we all have this love hate relationship with Google, fortunately my account was approved and I'm gaurding it with my life!
Wow! That was alot of information. Thank you, Rebecca, for taking the time... You have been thorough, as usual.
It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out what lovebuglena put so very succinctly-you need the email. Thanks to you both!
Thanks Rebecca for the very informative hub. This info is very helpful for those of us that are relatively new at this computer publishing business.
I had trouble with amazon and eBay. Someone told me that you have to have had at least 10,000 hits on your site before you could be accepted by eBay. Amazon was that I put the wrong words or something the application. I finally got accepted by amazon....but I haven't been successful with it yet. I followed the step by step instructions in the help section for google.
Oops sorry long winded and information I am sure you already knew. Thanks for another informative article.
Tammy :-D
Thanks for the informative hub. I did not have a problem getting my Adsense account approved but wondered why other people were having problems. Now at least I have some idea as to why they could be declined.
I could not get on adsense. I was never denied, just could not finish out the registration. I tried for months, with lots of help from others. Every time I got to the end, it said. my email address was already in use....yeah, by me!!
very helpful, whew, thanks,kimberly
Thank you for another useful hub.
I think I'm confused........... need to sleep, but I'll be stopping by tomorrow!
The key to signing up to use google adsense with hubpages is to use the link that is provided in the email that is sent by google adsense after you click to sign-up to google adsense directly from hubpages. Signing up to google adsense (to use with hubpages) directly from adsense.com will not work and application will be denied and you'll be asked to give proof of domain ownership. That is what happened to me.

The topic of black identity in the West is something that has been furiously discussed for decades though not in the mainstream media. Nonetheless the literature is there, it points in numerous directions but leads to one certainty. The identity of Africans in the old new world is so diluted, artficial and ridiculed that many blacks or anyone else for that matter can't define what it means to be black.
To be of African heritage in the West means you define self through a historical context not written by your own hence self image and perception by others lie in the historical work of racially charged and turbulent history under Western regimes.
The point a lot of people miss is that opinions often are not simply based on how you just get up one day feeling. No instead it is as a result of series of observations and readings which have lead you to believe in particular ideas from which you craft your own reality.
Now imagine the reality of a people oppressed and starved of vital intellectual and cultural capital for 500 years.
Now acknowledge the fact that all the writers of history in this society were thought to be racist and behaved as such.
Think about the fact that in the midst of all of this the printing press came into full force to deliver poisonous vitriol to all corners of the Earth and the readers teaching their descendants these same foolishness.
Even more scary is the fact that an enslaved bloc of people who have no sense of self reserve these feelings towards their children and themselves. Just think how twisted the psyche of these people were, in fact recognize the fact that many still hold these beliefs today, even black people.
This is where understanding of Africa, Ancient Egypt and Ethiopia helps tremendously to fill the void in black people in the West.
The reading and understanding of African history written by Africans can serve as a tremendously empowering experience, so much so that some of the people of Jamaica and now the world have come to a point where they seek fulfillment and knowledge by exploring a cultural space once though lost.
In Rastafari the understanding of history "through ones own spectacles" manifest in the ideas, identity and lineage of His Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia. The rastaman uses Haile Selassie as the nucleus of their existence; in doing so they can redefine themselves as Africans independent of the colonial experience. This is paramount in the Rastafarian frame and is worlds away from the strange misunderstandings that many people hold of rasta as only pot heads.
The same reinvented thinking can be applied to Ancient Egypt which serves as an in your face testament to the fact that Africa was never a poverty filled wasteland; not then and certainly not now. Not only in Ancient Egypt but all throughout Africa where in the 1500's European sailors commented that African iron smelting was on par with and in some instances ahead of the practices in Europe. In Uganda many were surprised to the fact that naked Africans were performing what would come to be known as the Caesarean section. During the procedure the woman was wide awake and felt no pain thanks to the powers of traditional herbs.
The examples are all over Afrika like in the Sudan or the Land of Kush where smaller scaled pyramids stretched across the land. The issue with the fact that Africans for the most part were scantily clad makes no sense and is nothing but mere manifestations of ethnocentric views; if the sun is so hot what the hell would you be doing in a three piece suit?
All of these facts can aid the cultivation of lush thinking in the otherwise empty spaces of black people and everyone for that matter with respect to real black history. From what I've seen from the text books. Black children from the Caribbean, North and South America are taught that their history begins with slavery which can be overwhelming damaging to the self esteem of these children who already feel insecure about the fact that they are societies literal, "black sheep".
Regardless we press on arming ourselves with knowledge on the way.
Buju Banton – Til I'm Laid To Rest Lyrics
'Til I'm laid to rest, yes
Always be depressed
There's no life in the West
I know the East is the best
All the propaganda they spread
Tongues will have to confess
I'm in bondage living is a mess
I've got to rise up alleviate the stress
No longer will I expose my weakness
He who seeks knowledge begins with humbleness

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was granted exemption from personal appearance for today by a court here in a criminal defamation complaint filed against him by DDCA and cricketer-turned-politician Chetan Chauhan.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was granted exemption from personal appearance for today by a court here in a criminal defamation complaint filed against him by DDCA and cricketer-turned-politician Chetan Chauhan. Metropolitan Magistrate Abhilash Malhotra took note of the plea filed by Kejriwal's lawyer V K Ohri that the chief minister was unable to appear due to constitutional duties and granted him exemption only for today.
The AAP leader's plea was opposed by advocate Sangram Patnaik, appearing for Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) and Chauhan, the UP Sports Minister who was also present. The opposition to the plea was recorded by the court.
The court has now fixed the matter for July 15 when it will hear the applications of the accused- Kejriwal and BJP MP Kirti Azad, who was present in the courtroom today – seeking dropping of proceedings against them.
While posting the matter for hearing after summer vacation, the court also considered the submission that High Court-appointed DDCA administrator Justice(retired) Vikramajit Sen has sought six weeks time to peruse the file.
You May Also Like To Watch:
On the last hearing, Kejriwal was granted bail after he appeared before the court which insisted on his presence. Azad, too, is out on bail in the matter. Kejriwal had appeared after the court took strong objection to his exemption plea saying the accused has to first establish his identity before it and there should be a valid ground for seeking exemption.
The court had refused to accept the CM's application for exemption from personal appearance till the time his plea for dropping of proceedings was decided. The magistrate asked Kejriwal's counsel to show where does the law say that the accused is exempted till the time his application is pending.The court had said that Constitution has given immunity to the President and governors and not to chief ministers. Kejriwal had then appeared before the court the same day.
Kejriwal had sought dropping of proceedings against him on the grounds that DDCA is a juristic person (other than a living human being) and the allegations are that Kejriwal defamed the complainant by saying that sexual favours were demanded by the members of the cricketing body. "Since the complaint has not been filed by the aggrieved person (natural person), the court cannot take cognizance under the provision of CrPC and further proceedings against Kejriwal may be dropped," the plea had said.
Azad had also moved an application seeking discharge. The court had on January 30 summoned Kejriwal and Azad, saying their statements prima facie adversely affected the reputation of the cricketing body and its officials.
The complaint has claimed that defamatory statements were made by Kejriwal and Azad, who himself is a member of DDCA, "to remain in the public eye and gain political mileage". "In an interview to a news channel, Kejriwal had alleged that apart from financial irregularities, there were other major wrongdoings in DDCA, including a sex racket," the plea has alleged. The allegation against Azad was that he endorsed the defamatory allegations made by Kejriwal and claimed he had raised a similar issue in 2007.

This section of the city was spared from the devastating Great Chicago Fire of 1871 and became the chosen place for Chicago businessmen to build elegant mansions and town-homes during the city's recovery.
South Loop's increasing popularity is due to its location to the loop, the lakefront and Grant Park and the new Soldier Field. Numerous loft conversions, luxury new construction, historic row houses of Printer's Row and the Dearborn Park residential development are bringing the young and old back into the city.
Columbia College and the School of the Art Institute attract young artists and students to the South Loop. Chicago's Museum Campus is the cultural epicenter of the neighborhood and brings tourists and locals alike to see the world famous Field Museum & Shedd Aquarium almost every day of the year.

Qatar Tourism Authority scores a success at Qatar Career Fair 2013
Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA) has successfully concluded its participation in the Qatar Career Fair 2013 which was held from April 1-6, 2013 at the Qatar National Convention Centre.
Held under the patronage of His Highness, The Heir Apparent, Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani, this year's theme for the event was "Write the Next Chapter in Qatar's Success."
QTA's involvement with the event was an overwhelming success with a total of 657 job applications received for different employment positions throughout the authority, catering for both intermediate and graduate level positions.
Mr. Ismael bin Mohamad Al Sayed, Shared Services Director at QTA, expressed his delight at the QTA's participation in the career fair, reinforcing that participation of such events forms a part of a significant effort that QTA provides in supporting the community. He further added, "Qatar Tourism Authority's participation in the Qatar Career Fair reflects the QTA's commitment in line with the country's 2030 Vision, to develop human capital to achieve a knowledge-based economy. We are committed, as well, to provide Qatari youth with suitable career opportunities as a priority for a brighter future, which will in turn reflect on the future development of Qatar."
QTA's recent initiatives include developing local talent in the buoyant MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Exhibitions) sector, with the introduction of new hospitality training programmes at Stenden University.
QTA and Stenden University Qatar has recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding to initiate a new Tour Guide License Program to develop professional tour guides for Qatar that are knowledgeable about the nation's rich past and history, its culture and heritage as well as tourist and historical sites. The aim is to train tour guides to have in -depth knowledge of Qatar's heritage, history and culture as well as its many museums, theme parks and nature attractions.
Tour guides once trained will be able to share key and accurate information about the places tourists visit in Qatar on sightseeing tours, to enhance their stay and reflect local politics, religion, geography, as well as Qatari traditions and everyday life.

Ilona Raudziune was warned about playing 'Love to Love You Baby' and other Donna Summer hits by noise abatement officers three times before they took away six speakers.
Barking Magistrates Court heard how Raudziune repeatedly played disco hits until the early hours of the morning, sometimes accompanying the song on bongo drums.
The court heard how neighbours in Barking complained that the volume was so loud the walls shook with the vibrations.
But after repeated warnings from Barking and Dagenham Council's noise nuisance team she was issued with a abatement notice on January 14 this year.
She was caught again on February 14, April 12 and May 1 playing music so loud it could be heard at least four streets away.
After the May 1 offence, council chiefs ordered her equipment to be confiscated.
Other equipment seized included the drums, amplifiers and a keyboard.
Raudziune yesterday admitted three charges of failing to comply with a noise abatement notice and was fined £300 and ordered to pay £215 costs and victims' surcharge of just £15.

Manama, Bahrain (CNN) -- Clashes between protesters and police extended into a second day in Bahrain on Saturday, following the burial of a man who died in questionable circumstances this week.
Tens of thousands marched chanting anti-regime slogans in the funeral procession of Seyyed Jawad Ahmed Hashim Marhoon in Sitra, southwest of the capital, Manama.
Shortly after the burial, scores of mourners clashed with police.
The Bahrain Ministry of Interior said it dealt with a group of vandals who blocked streets following the funeral march.
Clashes broke out late Thursday and early Friday, ahead of Marhoon's funeral. Many of the same areas saw renewed clashes following the funeral.
Violence was reported in most Shiite villages across the small Gulf island, including some on the outskirts of Manama, where anti-riot police moved in.
Thick clouds of tear gas, rubber pellets and stones covered many of the streets as police clashed with angry protesters.
Parts of the capital also saw limited clashes, but the heaviest were in Sitra.
Marhoon died in a hospital after being admitted to the intensive care upon arrival.
Relatives say he developed difficulty in breathing after tear gas was fired at his father's home on September 10, but the family fearing arrest and reprisal opted not to seek medical care until later.
In May, a report by Doctors Without Borders entitled "From hospitals to prisons" said medical staff in Bahrain had been unfairly targeted by government forces.
Injured protesters have been arrested at hospitals, according to the report.
The Ministry of Health said the death was the result of complications from sickle cell anemia. The family refutes the cause of death and say their son was never diagnosed nor showed symptoms of the illness.
Bahraini authorities had in recent months blamed the disease for several deaths of pro-reform detainees in their custody.
Late last month, Ali Jawad al-Sheikh, 14, who is related to Marhoon, also died in the same area in questionable circumstances.
Relatives claim that al-Sheikh was shot at close range by police during a morning protest with a tear-gas round.
In both instances, the authorities deny that there was police activity in the area at the time of the incidents, but they continue to investigate al-Sheikh case as "suspicious".
According to opposition activists, 40 people have been killed and several others arrested since the pro-reforms protests began on February 14, ten of whom hail from Sitra.
Among those arrested was Mustafa Al Moamen, who was detained Friday along with his cousin, Redha AlQumaish, during the funeral procession, according to a non-governmental organization called the Bahrain Center for Human Rights.
Seventeen year-old Hussain Mayouf was also arrested Friday night and feared beaten on Nabih Saleh, an Bahraini island in Persian Gulf, after he was taken to a prison hospital, the group says.
An independent commission investigating alleged human rights violations says that at least 33 had been killed since February.
Bahraini opposition has come out in support. Al Wefaq, the country's leading Shiite opposition group, called off a planned rally and urged supporters to take part in the funeral procession instead.
Protests demanding political reform and greater freedoms in Sunni-ruled, Shiite majority Bahrain began on February 14.
Bahrain is home to the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet.

Families are the most important continuing relationship in the lives of people with a disability. Families spend more time with the person than anyone else in most cases, and are there as a backup if things go wrong.
As a result, parents need to be the senior partners in decisions surrounding their children under 18, and significant contributors to decisions around their older children with a disability. Similarly, siblings can make very important contributions towards ensuring a good life for their brother or sister.
While human service staff come and go throughout a person's life, families are there for the whole lifetime in most cases. As such, the relationships with family members need to be supported and not overridden by ideologies of 'client choice' without deep considerations of the implications.
Families can feel lost and unsure about what direction is best. Inclusion or segregated education? What should I be teaching at home? What should we be doing about planning for the future? What can we do when things go wrong? Include has a range of ways that we can assist families.

John Rossheim of Monster.com quoted me on the demand for IT professionals.
In 2011, more and more employers are depending on information systems to help find new business and drive down costs. "More companies than ever are hiring IT people," says Steve Langerud, director of career services at DePauw University. "It's creating demand in areas that no one expected."

Relaying the discoveries of Roger Ekirch (author of At Day's Close: Night in Times Past) and Craig Koslofsky (author of Evening's Empire: A History of the Night in Early Modern Europe), Stephanie Hegarty writes a long and fascinating article about how in past eras people who lived with long, dark nights tended to sleep in two segments rather than in one ~8 hour chunk, as is considered standard and psychologically imperative today. She describes how people spent the period between their first and second sleep:
During this waking period people were quite active. They often got up, went to the toilet or smoked tobacco and some even visited neighbours. Most people stayed in bed, read, wrote and often prayed. Countless prayer manuals from the late 15th Century offered special prayers for the hours in between sleeps.And these hours weren't entirely solitary – people often chatted to bed-fellows or had sex.
Koslofsky explains how different the night was before street lights:
"Associations with night before the 17th Century were not good," he says. The night was a place populated by people of disrepute – criminals, prostitutes and drunks.
"Even the wealthy, who could afford candlelight, had better things to spend their money on. There was no prestige or social value associated with staying up all night."
That changed in the wake of the Reformation and the counter-Reformation. Protestants and Catholics became accustomed to holding secret services at night, during periods of persecution. If earlier the night had belonged to reprobates, now respectable people became accustomed to exploiting the hours of darkness.
This trend migrated to the social sphere too, but only for those who could afford to live by candlelight. With the advent of street lighting, however, socialising at night began to filter down through the classes.

Wicker's thoughts, written only seven years ago, demonstrate how quickly the Communications Revolution has indeed changed the state of journalism. While much reporting lately has focused on the bankruptcy or closing of both major and minor daily newspapers, less has been focused on what these changes mean for journalism itself, it's role in a democratic society and it's role as recorder for future scholars and historians. Objectivity aside, journalism's function is so large, it's easy to take for granted.
The Nation's recently published article, "The Death and Life of Great American Newspapers," by John Nichols and Robert W. McChesney, delves into the mess surrounding newspapers' struggle to survive in the digital age, speculating about what will be left in the wake of journalism's collapse. From the article:
So this is where we stand: much of local and state government, whole federal departments and agencies, American activities around the world, the world itself--vast areas of great public concern--are either neglected or on the verge of neglect. Politicians and administrators will work increasingly without independent scrutiny and without public accountability. We are entering historically uncharted territory in America, a country that from its founding has valued the press not merely as a watchdog but as the essential nurturer of an informed citizenry. The collapse of journalism and the democratic infrastructure it sustains is not a development that anyone, except perhaps corrupt politicians and the interests they serve, looks forward to. Such a crisis demands solutions equal to the task. So what are they?Read the entire article here.

Cantor Michel Laloum
Cantor Michel Laloum was born in Belgium, raised in Australia, and worked and studied for 15 years in Israel, New York and France.
Having attended Shalom Aleichem College, Michel was raised with a strong Yiddishist/Bundist influence on his maternal side, and a traditionalist Sephardic influence on his paternal side. The resulting mix of gefilte fish and couscous is reflected in Michel's ongoing love of mixing Yiddish folk songs and culture with a liberal sprinkling of Ladino and Judeo-Arabic repertoire.
Michel has undertaken a Bachelors of Music performance, a Bachelors of Arts in psychology and philosophy, studies in orthodox yeshivot (seminaries) in Jerusalem's Old City, then to the progressive Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion, where he was ordained as a Cantor (Hazzan) in 2001. He also completed Rabbinic studies at the Academy for Jewish Religion, with classes at the Jewish theological seminary and New York University.
Michel has performed and lectured extensively. He was a scholar in residence while presenting a series of lectures and concerts on the intersection of Jewish Music and Jewish Mysticism in the USA and in France. Serving with the World Union for Progressive Judaism, Michel has presented workshops, lecture tours and concerts in the Former Soviet Union, White Russia, and Siberia, and most recently in Hong Kong. While working in Lyon France, Michel's community, the Communauté Juive Liberal more than quadrupled in size, and became a major proponent of progressive Judaism outside of the Parisian context. Michel's passion for interfaith dialogue brought about ever closer relationships, workshops, shared classes, conferences and services between Jews, Protestants, Catholics, Dominicans, Buddhists, and Freemasons.
Since his return to Melbourne in 2010, Michel has worked with the Union for Progressive Judaism, Etz Chayim (Bentleigh), Bet Olam and before rejoining Temple Beth Israel.

When it comes to orthodontic treatment, many patients wonder… is it worth it? What results will I see? What are the benefits of orthodontic treatment? These are all perfectly normal questions.
Braces can straighten teeth, close gaps in teeth, and better space out teeth, all resulting in a more confident smile. The assumption is that braces are primarily about improving appearance. But that's only one of the many benefits of straight teeth:
- Alleviate unnecessary wear and grinding that can lead to TMJ, ineffective chewing and digestion problems, and even neck pain or headaches
- Teeth are less prone to injury
- Improves oral health--teeth are easier to brush and floss
- Leads to healthier gums, better prevention of cavities and periodontal disease
An attractive smile can contribute to a positive self-image. When you come to Reedy Branch Family Dentistry for a consultation about braces, your dentist will conduct a comprehensive exam and discuss whether and what kind of braces are best for you. Call us at 904-363-3559 to schedule an appointment.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are placed behind the teeth (by the tongue and palate), rather than in front, and therefore offer a great cosmetic alternative for those who want their teeth straightened without the braces showing. This partly explains why they are more common among adults than children. One other advantage is that if you play a wind instrument or a sport, lingual braces are easier to adapt to than traditional braces.
Not everyone can wear lingual braces. The teeth must be long enough to provide sufficient room to glue the braces on the inside of the teeth; therefore, lingual braces may not work for children or someone with especially small teeth. You also cannot wear lingual braces if you have excessive bite problems.Read more about Lingual Braces
