Inside the Online World - February 2012
Website Magazine's February 2012 issue "Building the Ultimate Affiliate" is now available! Check it out here!
If the downturn of the global economy has forced the community of
Web workers to do anything, it has been to focus their collective attention
on ways to extract the greatest amount of value from every interaction,
every platform and every relationship. To do this, merchants and
advertisers are increasingly turning to affiliates to generate brand
awareness, website traffic and, of course, conversions.
But to excel in the performance-marketing space today — and actually make a profit — affiliates must surmount many technical challenges, learn how to use many different tools and resources, leverage their social propensities, ideate and innovate in the face of emerging trends and constantly explore new opportunities and offers. Sound impossible? Not for those who are built for success.
In Website Magazine's feature article for February 2012, we address how affiliates can thrive in the performance-based online marketing business today. Only with a formal understanding of your audience's needs and wants, a dedication to developing community around knowledge and expertise, and a willingness to push forward despite the well-documented obstacles and challenges in the marketplace, will you be able to realize the fullest version of your affiliate self.
This edition of Website Magazine also provides a wealth of insights on subjects of vital importance to 'Net professionals. This month our editors and contributors have addressed important topics including video for the enterprise, social commerce, website navigation, site search, behavioral data, and a whole lot more, including interesting articles on virtual fitting rooms, Web design trends and search engine optimization.

This is flowering season for Euphorbia francoisii. They're fairly variable and I've got one with red leaves and green "flowers"... (Okay, they're not true flowers, but close. More technically, they're actually a pair of bracts with a center group of cyathia. But they serve the same reproductive purpose.)
Anyhow, I thought I'd share.

Footpaths range through salt marshes, river floodplains, and along coastal dunes and beaches. Trails pass through desert-like scrub islands, jungle-like hydric hammocks, and deep, dark bayous. Theres no better way to take in this natural world than by walking it. Ranging from 1 to 43 miles in length, each hike includes mile-by-mile directions, a topographic map, and information on hike duration, mileage, and trail conditions. This new edition includes 20 new places to explore, from hidden urban gems like the Circle Bar B Ranch in Lakeland and Ponce Preserve in Daytona Beach to the quiet rural landscapes of Catfish Creek State Park and Chinsegut Hill. Old standards like Tenoroc, Disney Wilderness Preserve, and Silver River State Park have been revisited and updated to keep you informed of changes in their trail systems.

Download this set of free letter recognition alphabet worksheets. They'll help your young learners practice letter matching, handwriting, and more.
I am working hard to create some really fun skill-based and themed free preschool printables to help you start a brand new homeschool preschool year off right!
If you need resources for specific themes or skills, please leave me a comment. It's always more fun to create when I'm meeting a specific need!
Today, we're focusing on the alphabet. Teaching preschoolers to identify the letters of the alphabet is one of the most important things you'll do this year. These alphabet worksheets are a great place to start!
Alphabet Worksheets
Let's kick off this homeschool year focusing on the alphabet. In this fun Focus on the Alphabet pack, your preschoolers will do just that! They will work on identifying the letters of the alphabet and matching uppercase and lowercase letters. They'll also work on handwriting as they trace the letters.
What You'll Find In This Printable Pack
I suggest printing these pages (3-11) on cardstock and laminating them for durability. You can store them in a pencil pouch or ziplock bag so they pieces don't get lost between uses.
Cut the puzzles apart, and have your preschoolers match the uppercase and lowercase letters. You can also talk about the pictures on each puzzle piece emphasizing the beginning sounds.
To make this a self-checking activity, put small matching stickers on the back of each puzzle piece. Once your child has assembled the puzzles, they can turn them over and check their work. If the stickers on the back match, they've matched the letters correctly.
On this one-page activity, preschoolers will identify the capital letter in the left-hand column. Then, they'll hunt for it's corresponding letter in the same row. This will test their skills as they hunt for the matching letter among five lowercase letters.
These worksheets, pages 13-17, encourage kids to draw a line matching uppercase and lowercase letters. There are six letters featured on each page.
The last two pages in this pack focus on handwriting and letter formation. Each letter of the alphabet is presented, 13 per page, in random order. Students will trace the uppercase letter in the first column. Then, they'll trace five lowercase letters in the second column.
Get Your Alphabet Worksheets Here.
Your preschoolers and kindergarteners will love all of the pages in this alphabet worksheets pack, but I bet the alphabet puzzles will be their favorite!
Enhance Your Lessons with These Resources
Of course, you can't teach kids their ABC's without reading some fun ABC books to them! Stock your book basket with these books. They'll intrigue your kids, and they are perfect for introducing the alphabet and practicing letter sounds and identification.

The administration of Chinese President Xi Jinping has released its first white paper on Arctic policies.
The document asserts that nations that do not have territorial waters and territory in the Arctic Circle possess "the rights and freedom ... to carry out activities" there, demonstrating China's policy of increasing its involvement in a wide range of fields in the region.
China called routes across the Arctic Ocean the "Ice Silk Road", and emphasised efforts to make progress in the development and utilisation of the region. Linking the "Ice Silk Road" initiative to the "One Belt, One Road" policy, which seeks to build a huge economic zone comprising land and sea "Silk Road" routes, the country urged other nations to join its new initiative.
Based on its "One Belt, One Road" initiative, China has enhanced a sense of its presence through active efforts to build harbours, railways and other infrastructure, and to make investments.
The move is also said to be aimed at securing military footholds. In the South and East China seas, China has ignored maritime order based on the rule of law.
The countries concerned have every reason to be wary about China's move in the Arctic region.
There has been an increase in navigable sea areas in the Arctic Ocean due to a global warming-induced decrease in the ice. The distance between Japan and Europe could become about 60 per cent of the route via the Suez Canal. It has also been pointed out that there is an abundance of resources in the region, including natural gas and oil.
The region's importance is increasing both economically and in terms of security.
The problem is that as the interests of each country are complicatedly involved in the region, no international rules have yet been established. There is no agreement comparable to the Antarctic Treaty, which entails a freeze on the assertion of territorial claims to Antarctica and calls for the peaceful use of the region.
Eight Arctic states, including the United States, Russia, Canada, Finland and Denmark, which comprise the Arctic Council, have substantively monopolised the rights and interests tied to that region.
Russia treats securing its national interests in the Arctic Circle as an issue of military priority. The country also gains economic benefits from the region by collecting fees from ships that sail across the Arctic Ocean under its rule, which obligates them to be accompanied by Russian icebreakers on the pretext of preventing an accident.
In 2013, Japan, China, South Korea and other nations that do not lie along the Arctic shore were permitted to join the council as observers. But they do not have voting rights. It is important to impose a check on exclusive moves by Arctic coastal countries, thus securing the unconfined and stable utilisation of the Arctic region.
In 2015, Japan compiled an Arctic policy stating its readiness to contribute to establishing rules in the Arctic region.
There is no denying that Japan started from behind, compared with China, which has crossed the Arctic Ocean using a large icebreaker, and also promoted cooperation with Finland and other Arctic coastal countries in recent years.
When the use of Arctic routes is increasingly active, there will be a rise in the number of opportunities for Chinese warships and other vessels to pass through the Soya, Tsugaru and Tsushima straits. The impact of this on Japan's security would be immeasurable. The government must strengthen its relevant strategy.

The New Yorker, December 18, 1948 P. 19
A seven-year-old boy asked his father to take him to the Bronx Zoo last Sunday afternoon. Daddy excused himself - he was too tired, and besides he was listening to a professional football game over the radio. "All right", said the boy. "I'll run away." He did, too. He packed a small bag and quietly departed. About half an hour later, a policeman observing him asked him what he was up to. "I'm running away from home, but I'm not allowed to cross the street," he answered.

A Carpet Appearance Management (CAM) Program can keep your facility looking professional. It can also save you money by prolonging the life of your carpet.
Stathakis will evaluate your carpet needs and recommend an annual program that could include any combination of corrective cleaning, power pile lifting, professional soil lifting, professional post spotting, special maintenance and deodorizing.

Ever thought of using your brother's white t shirt or that argyle printed sweater of your father?
This blog post is about the tips to utilize clothes of your fathers, husbands or any of your male relative. Just sneak into their wardrobe and take out the stuff you liked the most. Following are few tips that will help you to mix and match your clothes and your male family member's clothes resulting in more outfits for your daily wear.
Plain Shirts:
Never let go that white or black plain T shirt. Whenever you get an upsized white, grey or black T shirt always save it for your next day's outfit. Wear it with plain denim or with colored trousers and some nice impressive shoes.
The Holiday Shirts:
Whenever they go for the holidays, they always bring some holiday themed shirts or trousers, those clothes are got to go for a good hot summer day when you need some air in an easy outfit. It's on you how you accessorize it and make it even more casually looking sexy.
I have a confession to make, all the old belts of my father are under my protection, and I have used them with few of my outfits. They are strong, more visible and look amazing. I used them when I plan to wear a shirt that has to be tucked in. Or over some flared frock as a waist belt when I plan to show some waist 😉
Hats and sunglasses:
Is your father a fan of hats and retro sun shades? Search for these amazing pieces in their wardrobe and you will find some amazing pieces to create your new look. I have found these and I hope you will find them too
Old leather Bags and hand carry:
Your father or anyone in the house must have had old boy satchels or retro leather suitcases. They are fun to carry around. They complement even with your simplest outfits. Sometimes such accessories bring an amazing outfit fusion. The combination of new trendy dress with hippie old accessory is fun to wear.
Unisex Fashion:
There are a lot of T shirts, hoodies or cardigans that can be used with nice bottoms and pumps. It's all in you how you pair them up to make a perfect outfit. If you get a chance to use their Button up shirt and it's slightly bigger in size then wear a tank top underneath. In winters you can easily wear gent's cardigans and trackies but do not forget to accessorize those well. Sneakers underneath or pumps are always the best options.
We commonly see women wearing oversized watches, which look somewhat similar to men's watches. This gives us an idea that we can use their watches as well. 😀
I would recommend you all to use the leather strap ones in which you can easily adjust the size. The chain straps can be a trouble for you, as they are not adjustable.
I hope by the end of this article you have already planned few new outfits 😀 have fun. If you want to add something to this please comment below. #staychic

Young scientists excited by BioDiscovery Lab
The first students from a metropolitan primary school to visit the Lotterywest BioDiscovery Centre have been introduced to the tools used by medical researchers during a special education session at the Perkins.
The community education programs usually offered at the centre are aimed at Year 10 students and above, as well as interested adults.
The group of talented students from year 5, 6 and 7 students from Rostrata Primary School in Willetton, came well-equipped. They had already had a taste of science from Perkins Professor Julian Heng, whose sons attend the school.
|Associate Professor Julian Heng and Richard Johnson
Associate Professor Heng has been teaching a 6 week program at the school, entitled "Genes, Organisms and Life".
The program was co-written with the students' science teacher, the dynamic Richard Johnson who received the Prize Minister's Prize for Science Education last year (2013).
Associate Professor Heng said his goal was to introduce young inquisitive minds into the science of everyday life.
"We are interested to introduce students to life you can see, as well as to inform them on life you can't readily see with the naked eye," he said.
"We want to inspire the next generations of curious minds to adopt a scientific way of thinking about how we live our life, and how we can improve it for the future."

9 April 2013
Navy warship HMNZS WELLINGTON returns to the high seas on Wednesday after receiving the green light from Navy assessors.
The Offshore Patrol Vessel spent eight months alongside at Devonport Naval Base, as part of a plan that allowed the Navy time to train and rest key personnel.
WELLINGTON has completed three weeks of sea training, which culminated in a week-long assessment to prove the ship is ready and capable to proceed to sea. The final readiness evaluation was a challenging 48 hours where the crew of WELLINGTON were put through their paces.
The Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Commander (LTCDR) Phillip Rowe, says his 51-person crew have been working hard since January to get the ship prepared for operational duties.
"The crew have come together as a team, and are working well together. I firmly believe that WELLINGTON and our ship's company will be ready for any challenges we might face over the coming months."
LTCDR Rowe said the crew were well prepared for their first operational deployment, a multi-agency maritime surveillance patrol to the Kermadec Islands.
"The ship sails on Wednesday 10 April. The crew are excited about getting back to sea, and looking forward to contributing to the Navy's operational taskings."
The Kermadec Islands mission is to provide support to the Department of Conservation, NZ MetService and GNS Science, transporting staff and supplies to outposts at Macauley and Raoul Islands. The ship will also conduct maritime surveillance of New Zealand's waters en route.
"For many of the crew, this is their first time serving in an OPV. We have focused as a team on getting ready for this, and now we can enjoy our programmed deployments around New Zealand and into the South Pacific."
There are two Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPVs) in service in the Royal New Zealand Navy – HMNZ Ships OTAGO and WELLINGTON.
NZ has the ninth longest coastline and the fifth largest maritime Economic Exclusive Zone in the world, an area 15 times our land mass. The OPVs enable the RNZN to conduct long range maritime patrol, surveillance, and operational activity around New Zealand, the Southern Ocean and into the Pacific. They are versatile vessels capable of multi-agency operations in support of regional security tasks.
They can conduct boarding operations using the ships Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats, helicopter operations using a Seasprite SH-2G helicopter, or Military Support Operations with embarked forces.
The OPVs have strengthened hulls which enable them to enter southern waters where ice may be encountered. They are not designed as ice-breakers or to enter Antarctic ice-packs, but have the range and capability to undertake patrols in the southern ocean where ice may be encountered.
Please contact Lieutenant Commander Vicki Rendall, Senior Media Adviser (Navy) on 021 244 0638 for further information, or requests for interviews.

'Kubo and the Two Strings' Effortlessly Plucks at the Heart
By Devvon Eubanks
Bedtime stories are a big part of what drives children to dream. Tales of rescuing damsels in distress from a menacing evil, journeys across vast landscapes to retrieve a legendary item, and battles with formidable enemies are fables that excite little ones before their nightly slumber. But in the center of these legendary narratives lies a hero (or group of heroes) that seeks to achieve extraordinary feats on behalf of the quest, the people, or even his own growth as a person. This individual tests the limits of his own ability and becomes an icon to look up to and emulate. Thus we begin with a story of one such boy who goes on such a journey to discover who he is and why he is special.
"Kubo and the Two Strings" focuses on a small boy named Kubo (Art Parkinson) who stays with his ill mother (Charlize Theron) and makes a living as a storyteller in the nearby Sun Village below the mountains where he lives. Long ago, Kubo and his mother ran away from an evil force after his father was killed by the Moon King (Ralph Fiennes) and the boy's left eye was taken. Because of this, Kubo is instructed by his mother never to stay outside after dark or else his grandfather, the Moon King, will know where he is and come to claim his other eye. However, while visiting a village one day, Kubo finds out about a ceremony to communicate with deceased loved ones. Making special preparations to stay later than usual, Kubo attempts to talk to his father and find answers for what has happened since he was a baby, but he receives no response. Infuriated, Kubo tries to leave but finds out that he is too late when he encounters a pair of his grandfather's evil sisters who attempt to take him. Making a daring escape with the aid of his mother, Kubo later finds himself in a strange place, staring eye to eye with a talking Monkey, and is given a mission: retrieve all three pieces of his father's legendary armor and defeat the Moon King once and for all.
At the outset of this film, the first thing that grabs the viewer's attention is the creative animation style. Similar to 1989's "Wallace and Gromit," the clay-like style brings renewed life to the similar graphical styles of recent animated films from Illumination Entertainment and others. Kubo and the various on-screen characters have a unique look and are very vibrant in their movements and acting. When coupled with an Eastern background and atmosphere, as well as a musical score full of Japanese shamisens, drums, violins, and more, the film effectively immerses the observer into an epic tale that emulates much of Japanese mythology and lore. Kubo's journey also takes him across many landscapes, from snowy mountain regions to tumultuous waters full of sea monsters, all while seamlessly building on the plot of magic, monsters, and mystery. It is an extremely well-done story that will entice children and adults alike.
In addition to the setting, musical score, and art style, the characters themselves also add much to the story. First, there are Kubo's traveling mates, Monkey and Beetle (Matthew McConaughey), who share an interesting dynamic as a mother and father to Kubo, as well as friends that he can rely on as the journey progresses. Monkey is a stern, by-the-numbers character that mentors Kubo on becoming a hero and doesn't pull any punches. Conversely, Beetle is a fun and aloof character with great bravery who believes in Kubo and trains him on how to be a warrior. Kubo's enemies are also quite menacing, as the Moon King's sisters are elusive and deadly as armed shadows of the night, relentlessly seeking to bring the boy to the Moon King so he can claim his second eye. The supporting characters in the Sun Village also play a secondary family to Kubo, as he is very close with them and loves to entertain them. Naturally, most of the character development of this film is focused on Kubo, who is surprisingly brave, intelligent, and creative. Unlike many heroes that start out inexperienced and are molded by their journey, Kubo is a capable boy that fights using origami and the power of his three-string shamisen. He quickly adapts to changing situations and shows that he can tackle the most pressing of issues. And he is a character of substance-unlike many animated characters in a film-his charm, confidence, and bravery inspires children and teaches them that any situation can be overcome with faith and focus. Overall, all the characters round out this film well and help to bring more depth to an already grand adventure.
"Kubo and the Two Strings" is a massive success as an animated film and has very little to no flaws. The Japanese environment and musical score, are amazing, the clay-like animation and art style provide viewers a deeper look into the world, and the characters are unforgettable and give inspiration in a story about bravery and overcoming obstacles. It is a movie that supersedes many of the animated films released this year and is truly begging for a sequel. Hopefully the audience won't have to wait too long to revisit the world of Kubo and his friends. Because this bedtime story is one that has a truly happy ending.

Being impulsive!!!
I have very exciting news! I'm departing TODAY for a two week trip to Patagonia! Since returning from Bike & Build, I've spent most of my time applying to jobs, working part-time, and doing some craft projects here and there, so my unemployment period hasn't felt as adventurous and relaxing as I had hoped. After accepting a job that doesn't start until January, I decided I should really take advantage of the time, which to me, obviously meant traveling!
With the whole world to explore, I wasn't sure where to go. I knew I didn't really want to visit another city or Westernized country; I still crave the adventure, unfamiliarity, physical challenge, and feeling of relative smallness that Bike & Build gave me. Michelle, my Bike & Build friend, is doing a fellowship in Sitka, Alaska, and I would have loved to see her and explore the area. However, I was reminded that I might not want to visit the northern hemisphere in the winter, given the shorter days, so I decided to fly the other direction and head to one of the most amazing trekking destinations in the world, Patagonia!
I also had to keep in mind what places were safe for a solo female traveler. For my own confidence, this translated into a relatively touristy place with nice locals, an abundance of hostels, and a decent standard of living. My parents are pretty hesitant about my first solo trip being in a developing country whose native language I don't speak, but they both have been extremely supportive about everything, despite their own concerns. I sometimes forget how hard it would be if my parents didn't acknowledge my own independence as much as they do, so times like these definitely remind me of how grateful I should be. So thanks Mom and Dad!
Anyway, after a ton (read: 15+ hours) of online research, I nailed down an itinerary that squeezed in some of the major destinations in less than 2 weeks, including air travel. I know I'm missing out on some towns that are considered must-sees, but I just have to accept that I'll be returning to Patagonia again in this lifetime! So, for now, here's the plan:
- Dec 5: Depart San Francisco
- Dec 6-7: Buenos Aires, Argentina
- Dec 7-8: El Calafate, Argentina
- Dec 8-9: Puerto Natales, Chile
- Dec 9-13: Torres del Paine National Park, Chile
- Dec 13-15: El Calafate, Argentina
- Dec 15-17: El Chalten, Argentina
- Dec 17: Return to San Francisco
I'm not sure how often I'll have access to a computer and internet, but I'll hopefully try to share as much as possible. I'm bringing a journal with me, so worst case, I'll get to relive my trip through post-mortem posts!

When I was pregnant with my second child almost every night I would dream I was drinking a cup of coffee. I missed coffee!
Lately I've been dreaming of greens! Today I got some radishes at the Farmer's Market and it occurred to me on the way home I could eat the greens for lunch. I couldn't wait.
Braised Greens
Inspired by http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1650,130181-252196,00.html This will work with any greens – radish tops, beet tops, chard, kale (cook it longer), braising mix, and so on.
1 bunch of greens
2-3 T olive oil
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
3 T tomato paste
¼ cup of broth
Salt and pepper
Wash greens, discard any tough stems (like chard, spinach, or kale).
In a skillet heat the olive oil, season with salt and pepper and cook the garlic until golden. Add the greens and allow to wilt. Add the tomato paste and broth. Cook for 10 minutes over low heat.
Serve over pasta.
NOTE: instead of tomato paste and broth about ½ cup of any tomato based sauce would work fine.

Tips For Working With Marketing Agencies/
Hiring an agency to take care of your marketing campaigns has many benefits. You have more time to focus on other important tasks, you can give your business the opportunity to explore untapped markets and you can rely on consistent, fresh content to boost your brand. If you've been considering hiring a marketing agency, here are a few things to keep in mind:
Determine what you need in order to market your brand successfully. Don't focus so much on what you want to create, but what you want the outcome of the campaign to be. When you focus on the outcome, an agency can help you realize the true potential of your campaign.
Be prepared to give your time. Agencies work best, when they understand your marketing goals. Devote quality time to consulting with your agency on your business, brand and goals, to help them achieve optimum results for you.
Be open to new ideas. After your agency gets to know your brand better they will probably come up with new ideas that might not have ever crossed your mind. Just because some ideas are less obvious, or riskier, doesn't make them bad. Give good feedback and as much direction as possible.
Be consistent with your goals. Moving the goal posts throughout a project can diminish the effectiveness of your campaign. Be sure to spend the time to set your project goals, and be consistent throughout the project to ensure that your project hits a home run.
Have one liaison on your team. Agencies recommend appointing one person to work with them directly. This will help funnel the conflicting information that can sometimes come from your team. When one person on your team is the voice and ultimate authority, it provides your agency clear directives.
Marketing agencies have the potential to vastly improve your reach, and your customer base. Investing in the relationship, and working collaboratively can propel your campaign and your business.

Abbas Sam
Senior Project Manager
I became interested in this profession because I've always cared for the environment and recognized the importance of our natural resources. I've been working in this industry for over 25 years after graduating from San Diego State University with a BS in Civil and Environmental Engineering. As the Operations and Project Manager at Millennium's Southern California offices, I love the technical aspect of the work and I enjoy working with our staff for a common goal: building relationships with our clients. That includes everything from marketing, proposal writing, scheduling, staff management and writing reports. Outside of work I keep busy by playing chess and reading. I like to have a general knowledge of everything just in case I end up on Jeopardy one day. Some other interests of mine is soccer and ping pong. I also enjoy practicing Jujutsu and other martial arts.

Highlands crafters go all out for annual bazaar
Highlands crafters are busy putting the finishing touches on their creations in anticipation of the third annual Highlands Arts & Crafts Faire plus Holiday Cookie Bar, set for Saturday, Dec. 2, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Highlands Clubhouse.
Several of the crafters gathered recently in the Clubhouse for a "show and tell" preview of some of the items that will be for sale.
Donna Platt is a fantastic painter who hand-paints items in a tole style such as foot stools, rocking chairs and tiny kids' chairs. If that weren't enough, she crochets baby blankets, "handles" for dish towels and stocking caps for newborns, plus she makes jewelry. "And I made 60 jars of jam, including peach and strawberry-rhubarb, that I usually sell out of completely," she added.
Nancy Crandell is well known for making her "Teddy bears and friends" as well as pillows and Christmas tree napkins. And this year she is offering an unusual pet item that dogs will go crazy over. She sews washable "snufflemats," which are strips of fabric turned into what looks like fluffy flowers in which pet owners hide tasty treats that dogs (and even cats) love to dig through to find every crumb.
Bonnie Fletcher has quite a reputation far beyond King City for her beautiful Brazilian embroidery and quilting, which are really collectors' items, and many stunning pieces will be for sale.
Kathy Bodyfelt sews amazing poinsettia fabric pillows with wrapped fringe in the centers. "I made a bunch years ago for gifts after adapting a pattern, and I decided to make them this year because they are so popular," she said.
As for her unusual name, she explained that it was originally a long Dutch name, "and someone at Ellis Island had a sense of humor."
Mark Nelson is a wood-turner and has been a popular vendor at the faire in the past. One of his unique creations is wine bottle stops, which are created using acrylic and wood burls. "I poor acrylic into a mold and attach it to part of a wood burl," he said.
Nelson also makes beautiful wood bowls and had one on hand made out of African mahogany with inlaid turquoise around the rim. In addition, he makes bracelets, Christmas ornaments and vases with inserts.
"The fun thing about woodwork is that you never know how it will turn out," he said. "Now I've started making walking sticks. When I started, I had no idea if people would like any of this, but I wanted to do something to keep me out of the rain in the winter. But I have found that I can't charge more than $1 an hour when I set prices or they are too expensive."
Among the woods he uses are Hawaiian koa, chechen, Honduran mahogany and cocobola from Mexico.
Donna Escriva makes such functional items as aprons for girls, boys and ladies plus fun pillowcases for kids, and she brought a few aprons to the gathering, which a couple of the ladies put on.
Perhaps the most popular part of the faire is the Holiday Cookie Bar featuring delicious homemade goodies by Highlands residents.
"People can eat some here and drink cider or take them for gifts or home consumption," Crandell said. "We don't charge for them, but people can make donations. The first year we made $200 and were hoping to match that again, but when we counted the money last year, we were stunned that we had raised $350 for the Oregon Food Bank. This year we are donating the money to the Good Neighbor Center in Tigard and the Bethlehem House of Bread in Metzger."
The Highlands Clubhouse is located at 12930 S.W. Peachvale St., off 131st Avenue off Beef Bend Road.

Wrinkling lines across the forehead are one of the most annoying signs of aging in mature adults. These creases and folds are caused by gravity pulling down on the skin. If the skin is not supported properly by the underlying tissue, the folds become even more dramatic.
A brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, can correct this problem. It is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure similar to a neck lift or facelift. There are different types of brow lift procedures, and the one chosen is based on the severity and location of the wrinkling. We suggest a consultation, during which we can examine the forehead and determine which kind of lift procedure is likely to produce the most desirable results.
What a Brow Lift Does
A brow lift can not only correct the problem of forehead folds, but it can also actually lift the eyebrows. Eyebrow droop is commonly associated with forehead folding, and it can dramatically change a person's appearance.
A brow lift can also correct skin sagging that occurs on the bridge of the nose. In some cases, excess tissue is removed once the skin has been removed and lifted upward. Muscle tissue is also sometimes removed or repositioned.
How the Procedure is Performed
The patient is first given an anesthetic. During a traditional brow lift, the skin is pulled away and stretched upward. Excess fatty tissue and skin and perhaps a bit of muscle are removed before the skin is pulled upward.
The exact details of your brow lift procedure will depend on the condition of your facial features and your aesthetic goals, among other things. The end goal is to give you a more youthful and refreshed appearance that you can be happy with.
After the Surgery
The patient will have to wear bandages for several days after the procedure. We will prescribe medication to make your recovery process as smooth as possible. A follow-up session is necessary so that we can see how quickly the area is healing. Of course, all of this will be discussed in detail during a consultation at our office.
Learn More About Brow Lift Procedures
If you are concerned about your sagging forehead skin, visit Hanemann Plastic Surgery in Baton Rouge to get all the facts about brow lift surgery. Although it sounds like a complicated procedure, a brow lift is actually a simple treatment that can take years off your appearance. Contact us today to schedule your appointment!

Yet it seems that many Christians when given the blessed opportunity to minister to the needs of a hurting person instead choose to act as if they have some sort of moral imperative to point out their failures and to tell them, in their view, just what God thinks about it. Where is the love of God in that? Where is the love and grace from them that Jesus showed the woman who was caught in adultery? Instead of condemning her as the Law required and the self-righteous demanded; Jesus chose instead to give her the one thing she really needed and desired, love and acceptance. Not acceptance of her sin, but He loved HER and he accepted HER just the way she was.
The longer I am a Christian the more I am convinced that people can't come to Christ simply to avoid eternal punishment, to get a "get out of hell free pass." Yet that seems to be the message that I have heard preached in most of the churches I have been part of in the past. It is summed up in the phrase "turn or burn." I simply don't believe someone can be saved with a message like that. I think it leads to many false conversions. I know it did in my case many years ago when a preacher scared me down to the front of the church to say a prayer and get dunked.
No, people come to Christ by being convinced in their hearts of His love and acceptance and forgiveness for them and to be joined to the One who can give them, eternally, His life and hope and love. That is the good news that Christ died for. But people will not come to Christ unless the love and acceptance of Jesus is made real to them in the way we Christians live out our lives. Unless they see the love of Jesus in us, they will walk the other way. That love isn't best expressed by trying to change their behavior. A change of behavior isn't what they need the most. What they need is Jesus and to see His love expressed in us.

Parents who do not always do the best job of keeping an eye on their child in public places would do well to read on and learn more about this story. Dealing with a child who likes to cause havoc is one thing. This story is quite another entirely. Most children might knock over a display or bump into a stranger. What this child did will have you pulling your own hair out.
The events that took place in this instance left two parents holding the bag for a $132,000 art bill. This is what happens when you do not take the time to watch your child. Tomahawk Ridge Community Center was the setting for the carnage. Little Troy was running about without the proper supervision when he decided that he was going to hug a sculpture. We're guessing that he must have assumed that it was bolted into the ground.
This is the part where we let you know that the sculpture was clearly not bolted down. The little boy tried his best to return the sculpture to the proper position but he was not successful. The incident took place at a wedding reception and it did not take long before his parents were being hold responsible for it. By the time the glass mosaic hit the ground, his parents were being asked for their information.
An insurance company sent them a letter to let them know that they were responsible for the damages to the sculpture. Even if it was just a momentary distraction, this family remains culpable for what took place. Meanwhile, the family is fighting back against these charges and claiming that there should have been more protective casing around the sculpture. They also noted the lack of signage to warn people away.
According to Troy's family, he has been having nightmares about the experience as well. The city is filing an insurance claim and they need to reimbursed. The piece was given to the city as a loan and someone is responsible for replacing it. The public made an investment in the sculpture and this is an investment that is going to need protection.
The city is now left with a massive bill that needs to be paid off as quickly as possible and this family is going to have to help out. At the moment, no one knows how this money is going to be paid back and this is one story that is far from over.

Beth Garmai
Beth Garmai, (Arabic: باجرمي Bājarmī, Middle Persian: Garamig/Garamīkān/Garmagān, New Persian/Kurdish: Garmakan, Classical Syriac: ܒܝܬ ܓܪܡܐ Bêṯ Garmē, Latin and Greek: Garamaea) is a historical region around the city of Kirkuk in northern Iraq.[1] It is located at southeast of the Little Zab, southwest of the mountains of Shahrazor, northeast of the Tigris and Hamrin Mountains, although sometimes including parts of southwest of Hamrin Mountains, and northwest of the Sirwan River.
Beth Garmai
|Etymology: "The house of bones"
Beth Garmai is marked with a 7
The name "Beth Garmai" or "Beth Garme" may be of Syriac origin which meaning "the house of bones",[2] which is thought to be a reference to bones of slaughtered Achaemenids after a decisive battle between Alexander the Great and Darius III on the plains between the Upper Zab and Diyala river.[3] However, according to Michael G. Morony, it was named after a people, possibly a Persian tribe.[4]
The region was a prosperous metropolitan province centered at Karkha D'Beth Slokh (Kirkuk), It had a substantial Nestorian Assyrian population until the fourteenth century when the region was conquered by Timurlane.[5]

Interdisciplinary Centre for Clinical Research
Chronic airway disease is the third most frequent cause of mortality. However, the therapy of chronic lung disease is limited to a duration of weeks due to insufficient biocompatibility of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) devices. The underlying idea in the research project "EndOxy" is to overcome this limitation by benefitting from the physiological antithrombotic properties of an endothelial lining similar to the native blood vessels. A biohybrid solution with endothelial layer covering the blood contacting surfaces as a biomimicking interface between technical promises an increase of hemocompatibility and, thus, allows prolonged ECMO therapy for patients with chronic lung disease.
START Programm
Interventional measurement
For over 20 years catheter based implantations of artificial heart valves provide an alternative to open heart surgery. The success of a catheter-based implantation depends, inter alia, on the knowledge of the measurement and form of the pathological heart valve. The implantation of an inaccurately sized heart valve can lead to severe complications. As conventional imaging-techniques show divergent measurements, a concept for a new measurement device is developed in this project.
Surface Structures
Improving the hemocompatibility of polyurethane by means of surface structuring.
MoBox - Sweep gas supply for wearable artificial lungs
The mobilization of patients with extracorporeal lung support is the next logical development step in the field of artificial lung research. The "MoBox" project aims to close a research gap in the miniaturization of portable lung systems and is dedicated to the development of an efficiently dimensioned oxygen supply for ambulatory lung support.
"OxyBench" is an interdisciplinary research project aiming for a simulation and test platform for novel membrane oxygenators and technologies in artificial lungs for the treatment of chronic lung disease. The test methods within this project are developed to allow reproducible, preclinical long-term tests of artificial lungs.

The new single from Welsh hotly tipped acoustic 'gems' Toy Horses is an unfortunate disaster. If I was to be incredibly charitable I might try and describe the band as sounding like a more miserable and less exciting Mumm-Ra. The track itself, the plainly named 'And It Was You' is a despondent, dreary and uninspiring ballad. The limited selection of instruments (a piano, guitar and violin over a lifeless drum beat) add to this dismal and dull tone while the lyrics are annoyingly obvious, such as "The older he gets if he gets there at all" and do the track no favours. At its best, it sounds like it was written by some overenthusiastic music students for a secondary School musical.
I was expecting the tone to change half way into a "happy, life can be better, I'm not giving up" kind of chorus, which although is predictable and irritating, I was robbed of, and the dreary melancholic tones continued till the end.
Yet despite my absolute abhorrence of the track, Toy Horses seem to be doing something right, forging a name for themselves from seemingly nowhere. The band without any self promotion was selected by US radio guru Nic Harcourt to play at his SXSW showcase and Wilco's Ken Coomer contacted the band personally offering to produce their debut album. I wait in earnest to see what is released next.

Visit to Bergen Flipper Klubb
So. I've talked to the wife several times about heading over to Bergen knowing they have a pinball club there and well. I needed to know if it is something true to what the people living there claims. "Best city in Norway".
Without anything other than a facebook page with a claim that if you contacted them by messenger they would normally respond within 3 hours I made a shout out asking in desperation if there where any possibility to get my head inside their location while visiting. The tickets where already booked so whatever the response was going to be I would still go.
I quickly found that the main organizer if you like, Kjell Erik was on holiday but he didn't reject my request. Just the opposite. He forwarded my request of desperation to key members asking if anyone would be willing to help me.
Not only 1 but 2 guys quickly responded and made sure that I was given the absolute best possible "guided" tour of their club and machines. I can't thank Vidar especially and Tore for being such stand up and great guys willing to go beyond what could hope for mid regular Norwegian "common" holidays.
What can I report back about the place except it being awesome for someone who love the pre 2000 era of machines ? Hmm … I would go on for hours guys. It is packed full with well maintained machines and from what I heard, they would love to expand.
If you ever are in Bergen. Make sure you look up these guys @ https://www.bergenflipperspillklubb.no/
And Vidar. Let's do a re-run on Demolition-Man. You kicked my ass and I can't stand loosing 🙂

WHAT KEEPS A project leader or the head of a company up at night? There's no single answer, but chances are the rising expectations of stakeholders will top the list. The mandate is to do more with less, achieve higher targets, perform better, meet tighter deadlines – and do all that within budget.
There are seemingly endless challenges, but most of them can be overcome by adhering to a few basic principles. Most importantly, the mindset and behaviour of the team must be aligned with the company's goals, and yet there should be freedom for individual initiative and innovation. To achieve this, the person at the top of the pyramid must be an excellent communicator.
As a leader, you communicate constantly. There are formal messages about the organisation's vision or strategic direction, and routine motivational talks to improve sales, productivity or customer service.
Unfortunately, leaders sometimes forget that good communication is about delivering the right message at the right time, and in the right manner.
To make sure your communication has an impact, take the time to plan what you are going to say, and how.
When preparing, keep in mind the three Cs: context, clarity and congruence.
Context Have you ever left a meeting about a new strategy or restructuring, and thought: "That was nice, but where do I fit in?" It happens often and illustrates why a leader's communication can miss its mark.
The problem is that the communicator is focusing on what management wants and not on what the audience needs. If individuals do not have their questions answered, they have little reason to take goal-oriented action.
As a leader, the first thing you should do is create a context for your message. Start by giving people a reason for listening and make sure they identify with it. Everyone should understand why it is important for them and what they will get out of it.
Once you have engaged their personal interest, move on to the intellectual reason or business rationale for what you have to say. Many leaders make the mistake of starting with the rationale, launching into details about market changes and the need to increase revenue. This will not win over an audience.
Next, go on to the "how" part, detailing the process and action points the team must now implement.
Finally, cover the expected outcome, showing what the future holds and how the team can assess its rate of progress.
By focusing on the "why", "what", "how" and outcome, and explaining their relevance, you will establish a personal connection with the audience. Any talk at the water cooler or in the lift will then be about what you said rather than what you did not say.
Clarity Leaders should know how to get a message across persuasively. Too often, they assume that calling for a meeting and making a statement is all that is needed. They forget good employees are paid to think, and are not inclined to follow instructions blindly.
Do not fall into the trap of expecting subordinates to respond as robots.
Make sure your comments are compelling – on a rational and emotional level. Talk about results and benefits. Be specific at all times because employees rarely pay attention to generalities.
Also, if you think the audience might overlook certain crucial points, highlight the relevance of such points. That is a part of your job.
Even a leader should be prepared to substantiate an argument. Seniority does not automatically allow you to speak with unquestioned authority, so you need relevant facts and figures to prove any point. You can also use case studies, visual aids, or anecdotal evidence.
Since people tend to be sceptical, especially when faced with impending change, there is no substitute for taking the time to plan thoroughly and present a message which is persuasive and backed by sufficient data.
Congruence In business, personal experience often shapes attitudes and opinions far more than a directive from the chief executive. Therefore, it is never enough for you, as a leader, simply to tell people what results you want.
The tone and non-verbal elements of your delivery must be consistent with your message and your body language must fit with the message. If you are talking about a vision for the company, maintain eye contact with your audience. If you are introducing a new cost control policy, make sure your voice has conviction, and give an example of what action you have taken.
How you explain something and what you do often has a greater impact than the words themselves. It is up to you to "walk the talk". If you do not, colleagues will be quick to pick up clues that you do not really believe in your policies, and then neither will they.
Just consider the many instances of chief executives preaching the importance of customer service, but never bothering to meet any customer in person.
Make sure you create the right impression and remember that your gestures, tone of voice, movements and degree of eye contact say as much as your words do.
To inspire a team to follow your lead, you must also know how to speak the team's language. That means showing an interest in their concerns and ideas, and making them feel you care.
Use the principles of the three Cs in your approach – each element is critical to achieving business targets.
You may still have sleepless nights, but at least the people around you will clearly understand their objectives and perform better as a team.
The Channel Senior executives have an understandable tendency to use email to communicate some of their most important messages. The reasons are obvious – instant circulation, immediate impact and consistency across recipients. But that may not be enough when you have to communicate something really significant. Before you deliver a crucial message to your team, ask yourself whether the idea is to inform, engage or persuade. Which method is the audience likely to prefer? Email and other electronic tools make it faster to share information. However, if you need to impress your team as a leader, it is best to communicate in person and follow up, if necessary, with something in writing. In a large organisation, where a face-to-face meeting with every employee is not possible, you could consider a webinar as an option. They are easy to arrange, cost-effective and more personal than email messages.
The Credibility Zone To strike the right note when communicating, every leader has to walk a fine line. At one end of the spectrum, you risk sounding too "macro", falsely optimistic or too assertive. At the other, you can come across as obsessed with details, worried, or uninspiring. Either perception can lead to unwanted consequences. Just a few ill-chosen words or poorly phrased comments can result in a loss of support and trust – and inaction. The daily challenge for leaders at every level in an organisation is to steer clear of extremes and stay in the "credibility zone". To do this, you must ask yourself what you want the message to achieve and what you think the audience wants to hear. The answers to these questions will help you communicate more effectively.
Seven Things to Observe The way subordinates perceive you directly affects their willingness to co-operate or go the extra mile. If they see you as unprofessional, you already face an uphill battle when attempting to exert authority. However, if you come across as competent and knowledgeable, the team is much more likely to work towards the goals you set. These perceptions do not have to be 100 per cent correct, but they certainly count. A leader must be sure to create the right impression and should be aware that people are forming perceptions by observing seven specific things: posture, movement, gestures, facial expressions, vocal delivery, choice of words and attire. It pays to take a moment or two to think about how you want to be perceived. Once you have done that, consider any changes to make in these seven areas to have a more effective style of leadership.

If you see, let them be.
The weather is warming, the flowers are blooming, and kitten season has begun. At the Chautauqua County Humane Society we are receiving reports of "abandoned litters of kittens." At CCHS we appreciate the concern and are glad that you are looking out for the best interest of the kittens.
Are you completely sure that the kittens have been abandoned? These are specifically kittens that are under 2 pounds in weight, or under 2 months of age. Here is some good information provided by Greenvillepets.org on what to do should you spot a litter of young kittens:
See if Mom is around: If she is gone wait 2-4 hours to see if she comes back. She could just be out hunting for a meal.
If Mom is there: Just leave the kittens where they are until they are two months old or weigh two pounds. If they kittens are in immediate danger then move then to a safe outdoor space.
If Mom is gone: You should foster the kittens, or find someone who can foster the kittens, until they are two months old or weigh two pounds.
Click here to learn more about fostering through the Chautauqua County Humane Society.
Weaned kittens: Once the kittens have reached two pounds, or are two months old bring them to the Chautauqua County Humane Society to be altered.
Click here to learn more about the CCHS low cost spay/neuter clinic.
The kittens must be brought to CCHS in a humane cat trap. After the kittens have been altered they can be returned to their natural habitat.
For more information call the CCHS low cost spay/neuter clinic at 665-2209x205. Ways you can help include donations of Snuggle Safe Heating Pads, Miracle Nipples and Weighmax scales.

Cibreo Vivaio, or Florentine musings
Fabio Picchi of Cibreo fame, has realized yet another dream ~ a small organic supermarcato + vivaio (nursery) on the terrazza next to mercato di Sant'Ambrogio. Love at first sight to see an unbelievable variety of fruits all named and spread artfully on the table. I wanted to pull up a chaise and lounge, paint or just study. Plants and seeds are available.


text:
Grapes sourced from old vines, 50 year-old averge age vineyards located in the highest ground of Rioja Alavesa in the foothills of Sierra Cantabria around Laguardia, Elvillar and Kripan. This is the heartland and best "terroir" of Rioja Alavesa.
The grapes Graciano 100%, are picked by hand and put in boxes with a first, vineyard selection that involves discarding there those that don't meet the mark.
The fruit is manually selected upon entering the winery, where grapes not suitable for this wine are discarded. After destemming, the grapes are stored in small 2,000 litre tanks and undergo a cold maceration at 8 ºC for four days. Alcoholic fermentation is induced with selected yeasts and performed with exhaustive temperature controls. Three times per day, the pigeage is conducted manually in order to submerge the cap. Once the fermentation is completed, the wine is macerated until the winemaker determines the appropriate extraction of polyphenols. Malolactic fermentation is carried out in French oak (85 percent) and American oak (15 percent) in new barrels from the best coopers. During fermentation, the lees are stirred to keep them in contact with the wine.
It takes place in the same barrels for 15 months, with the wine racked every 6 months.
Colour: Clean and brilliant, intense cherry red colour with a garnet rim.
Nose: Complex and powerful with ripe fruit very well integrated with oak and mineral nuances.
Palate: Very powerful toasty notes (cocoa and coffee) of high quality wood, perfectly blended with ripe fruit.
Food matches: Recommended for red meats, game and ripe cheeses.

I recently worked with Olivia Kizzie, a newly sworn in Medical Doctor. When Olivia is not curing the sick she is making sure she stays fit. She was a former collegiate athlete, and in her words "fitness as a whole has been my life since I started running track from the young age of 11. Now as a future physician I plan to incorporate nutrition and fitness into my patients plan of care with the goal of possibly making a difference in quality of life for each one of my patients". Kizzie's best friend also accompanied her and she had great energy and made the session a blast.
I'm also excited to let my readers know that I shoot this whole session with my new mirrorless camera Fuji-XT2 camera with lens combo of Fuji 50-140 zoom lens. I was not very confident about how it would perform with low light and off camera flash because all the things I have read. I'm coming from a D800 and the Fuji autofocus smokes the D-800, and the tones from Fuji are amazing. I want go into major detail about specs or such but I love the camera and it feels good to shoot with. Im going to get out of you guys way and let you enjoy the photos.

Awake amongst the Hippos/
I lie here awake at 6:30 AM. There is no longer a possibility of further sleep. There are 7 other Hippos lying around the room. I wonder how many of them are actually awake also. Most certainly lie quite still and make very little sound. My sleeping bag, rated to 20 degrees, was certainly warm enough, perhaps too warm for our host's living room floor. But if we have to be outside, it will be nice and comforting.
This is my view from the floor:

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill,
that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship,
support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the
success of liberty.
--John F. Kennedy Inaugural Address Washington, D.C. January 20, 1961
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry,
Peace, Peace--but there is no peace. The war is actually begun!
The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears
the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field!
Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish?
What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet,
as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?
Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take;
but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
--Patrick Henry March 23,1775
Throughout our history, America has fought not to conquer but to liberate. We go to war reluctantly, because we understand the high cost of war. Those who have given their lives to defend America have the respect and gratitude of our entire nation.
--George W. Bush, May 28, 2005
I took the first picture at the Korean War Memorial at the Mall in Washington DC in July 2004.
The second picture is the Black Hills National Cemetery outside of Sturgis SD. My grandfather who served in WWI is buried there. My father who served in the Army in the late 1950s has asked to be buried there also.
I took the last picture during the night lighting of Mount Rushmore in July of 2003.

Valley Of The Dolls
Like most little girls I loved Barbie. Collecting the outfits was, as you can imagine, an obsession with me. However, even back then I had a flare for the darker side of things as my poor Barbie used to spend an extraordinary amount of time either falling off her horse or crashing her Mercedes convertible. There wasn't a week that went by when she wasn't in some sort of fatal accident. She was always well dressed whenever she died though, so there's that.
The Popovy Sisters however take dolls to a whole new level. This is Barbie's worse nightmare.
The twin sisters Ekaterina and Elena Popovy hail from Perm in Russia and started making dolls in 2004, after graduating at Ural State Academy of Architecture and Arts in Yekaterinburg. They were first inspired by Japanese porcelain ball jointed dolls (BDJ) and went to create their own.
The dolls are presented in collections, such as Widow Sisters, Swan Lake and Royals. Each doll in dressed in exquisite costumes, also designed and created by the sisters and could have been created by the likes of Alexander McQueen. The girls even make the wigs for the dolls.
Whilst the proportions of the dolls are exaggerated they none the less look eerily human.
If I had one of these beauties I definitely don't think I'd make it die in a car crash!

Linkedin is arguably the most powerful professional social media network out there, connecting you to your college alumni, professional contacts and former colleagues, bosses and employees.
It also has powerful tools such as job boards, groups and recommendations that make your LinkedIn profile more authoritative than a standard resume. LinkedIn will likely make resumes obsolete in the future (although there may be no way to avoid writing cover letters).
Also, LinkedIn is for everyone, not just job seekers. Perhaps you discover that your old college roommate is now part of a company where you've been trying to land an account. Or your university is seeking speakers for an upcoming event and you've been looking for opportunities.
The high-quality content shared by experts from all fields will surely help you learn a new thing or two that can help you excel in your career.
Basically, if you work for a living, you need to be on LinkedIn. So here are a few tips to improve (or start) your profile.
• Fill out your work experience robustly.
If you do nothing else from this list, at least do this. Don't just list your job title and place of employment. Highlight your responsibilities because many duties are transferable regardless of industry.
Managing projects, people or even your own schedule all show you as accountable and capable. Don't worry about putting too much information because people who are really interested (such as a potential employer) will appreciate the additional information.
• Use a professional-looking photo.
See that term "professional-looking?" That means you don't have to hire a professional photographer just to complete your LinkedIn profile (although having professional headshots taken is worth it so you can use them on your website, blog, even your email signature).
However, you do want to select a photo that shows you smiling, polished and in good lighting so it's easy to view. Dark backgrounds are hard to view, and don't even think about making a goofy face. This isn't Facebook.
• Add your education.
Last year, LinkedIn rolled out University Pages, which aggregates the data they've collected over the years to show what people who graduate from that school are up to, such as the businesses they work for and the industries they are in. You can also make some connections with old professors, classmates and others associated with the school.
You never know when you may need their connections.
• Leave recommendations for people who you'd like a recommendation from.
One of the best features of LinkedIn is the ability to leave public recommendations for others, and in turn receive public recommendations that will live on your profile forever. You can remove them, but why would you want to remove flattering comments about yourself?
These recommendations are another reason resumes could become obsolete. Instead of HR having to track down references, they can just take a look at the votes of confidence from a variety of references right on your profile.
• Claim your custom URL.
This task makes you easier to find and makes you look LinkedIn literate and digitally savvy.

There are an estimated 1 million alcoholics in Japan, yet less than 10% receive treatment. Of those, it is said that only 30% succeed in overcoming their addiction after one year.
By the end of this year, Otsuka Pharmaceutical hopes to gain approval for the manufacture of a new drug to treat alcoholism. If given the go-ahead by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, it would be the first drug in Japan designed to gradually reduce patients' consumption rather than try to make them quit cold turkey. It could go on the market as soon as next April.
Nalmefene, as the drug is called, prevents the alcohol-induced release of dopamine in the brain and reduces the desire to drink. The drugs currently on the market work in a more direct and sometimes distressing way, such as by making patients feel nauseous when they consume alcohol.
Otsuka Pharmaceutical has already completed the third and final phase of its clinical trials of nalmefene on 660 patients in Japan. Before the trial, participants consumed the equivalent of 1.5 liters of beer or more a day an average of 23 times a month. That number fell to 11 times after the six-month trial.
If the drug is approved, Otsuka Pharmaceutical could start marketing nalmefene to physicians and psychiatrists who treat alcoholism.
Outside Japan, medicines such as topiramate, an epilepsy drug, and the muscle relaxant baclofen have reportedly been effective in suppressing cravings for alcohol. France is considering the approval of baclofen for use in treating alcoholism.
In Japan, the National Hospital Organization's Kurihama Medical and Addiction Center, the country's largest treatment facility for alcoholism, began accepting outpatients in April to help reduce their consumption.
TECH SUPPORT In an altogether different approach, a Tokyo-based medical startup began a clinical trial in October of a smartphone app designed to help people give up smoking.
CureApp plans to seek approval in 2019 for what would be the first such service covered by the country's national health insurance program. In 2014 the health ministry announced its intention to approve software-based addiction treatments.

New York City, NY - An NYPD officer was shot on Thursday, August 10, and his ballistic vest likely saved his life, according to Mayor Bill de Blasio.
The incident occurred about 4:35 PM, when the wounded police officer and his partner, who was with him, responded to 149 Ridgewood Avenue in Brooklyn to a 911 call of an emotionally disturbed person (EDP) inside a building, according to USA Today.
Commissioner James O'Neill said that the suspect's mother had called 911 and told the dispatcher that her son was emotionally disturbed and "acting erratically", that he was not armed, and not violent.
The wounded officer went in through the front door with EMS, while his partner went to the back of the apartment, after being warned by the suspect's mother that he might flee. When the first officer approached a rear bedroom, the suspect opened fire. Multiple shots were fired, and the officer was struck once in his right arm, and twice in his ballistic vest.
The NYPD's public information office said that shortly after officers arrived, there was a radio transmission that an officer had been shot in his vest, and also had an arm injury. Officers rushed the suspect's mother out of the apartment to safety after the officer was shot, found cover away from the apartment, and called for help.
The wounded police officer was transported to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he is now listed in stable condition, and is being treated for non-life threatening injuries. He is from the 75th Precinct Patrol Unit, and was identified by Fox News as Hart Nguyen.
The suspect , age 29, remained barricaded inside the building, and a standoff ensued. The NYPD said about 7 PM that they had made entry into the apartment, and found the suspect dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to CBS Local New York.
Commissioner O'Neill said that two firearms were found by his side. He was not identified.
Mayor Bill de Blasio said that the wounded police officer was 30-years-old, and a two-year veteran of the NYPD.
He said "What could have been just another day, just another call turned into something much worse, and thank God our officer's going to come through it. He's a brave young man. He had a great attitude. He was actually, you know, trying to make light of the situation in his own hospital bed; having a lot of spirit; a lot of energy."
Our thoughts and prayers are with the injured officer. Get well, soon.

At the end of last month I sent out the sixth Crafty Fox Box and the second Paper Fox Box. As I was feeling rather daunted by the prospect of packing so many boxes on my own with little Rudi needing feeding so regularly, I came up with the idea of a Fox Box packing day.
Lovely Marie helped to style the event and gather some eager helpers. We had lots of delicious snacks and drinks to keep us all going and some sweet styling to make us smile. I made up little thank you bags for the packers too.
Marie made these adorable little cards for the packers to pop in the boxes as they packed them. I love that she handcarved the stamp to make the cards with, as the Box Six was all about rubber stamping!
The Crafty Fox Box Six was designed by the fabulous Davina Drummond, who is a huge fan of rubber stamping. She uses them lots in her art work, workshops and with her little girl. She has plenty of DIY inspiration on her lovely blog The Making Home and I particularly love her handstamped baby vests and her DIY patterned tape.
The box contained all your need to make your own rubber stamp, a lovely Yellow Owl Workshop ink pad, a sweet feather stamp from Norajane, a personalised notebook (stamped by Davina!) and lots of great things to stamp and personalise.
I love the sweet little bags that Davina stamped for the carving tools too!
Big thanks to Ella, Marie and Davina for helping to pack all the boxes with me! Tomorrow I will share what was in the Paper Fox Box.
I always love to hear from my subscribers and when Alice Pavi emailed this image to me it made me so happy that I had to share it. Alice has been so inspired by her Crafty Fox Boxes that she made her own version to give to her sister. Just love it! Thanks for sharing Alice.
The Crafty Fox Box is taking a break over the Summer holidays and will be back with something exciting in September!
