We all love Mr. Rogers, right? He said wonderful things like this:"We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It's easy to say "It's not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem." Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes."
and this:
"Forgiveness is a strange thing. It can sometimes be easier to forgive our enemies than our friends. It can be hardest of all to forgive people we love. Like all of life's important coping skills, the ability to forgive and the capacity to let go of resentments most likely take root very early in our lives."
But my hands-down, absolute favorite part of any Mr. Rogers show? The factory videos! There's magic in seeing how things are made!Let's spend our Thursday watching these videos. So, so awesome!
Have you ever taken a factory tour? I toured a Tabasco sauce factory when I was in Louisiana and it was awwwwesome!

Sitting in its own grounds in the centre of Millport town, Garrison House is now the vibrant hub of the island community, serving locals and visitors alike. Fully restored to its former glory in 2008, Garrison House now boasts the local NHS Medical Centre, a state-of-the-art library, the Museum of the Cumbraes, the Courtyard Cafe and the North Ayrshire local council office.
Cundall was appointed to perform building services on this project. The Grade B listed, Gothic revival stone building was refurbished and redeveloped, as it had been made derelict due to fire damage in 2001. The new accommodation was redesigned to create a multi-use building. The rebuilding included a larger proportion of stonework replacement, including what was required for the new extension to the building. The provision of services within the building was designed to integrate with the existing listed building.
The main plant for the development was discreetly housed within a stand-alone building, thus minimising the development's aesthetic impact. The key aim of the design and rebuild was to completely reconstruct the exterior and much of the roof layout, so that the grounds, form and profile of the building would remain unchanged.

Asked by Tiffany
Are Fioricet Tablets Considered Narcotics?
"¢ butalbital
"¢ acetaminophen
"¢ caffeine
It's difficult to give you a "yes" or "no" answer on this. The word narcotic is usually used to refer to a medication that is an opioid or contains an opioid, which this form of Fioricet does not. If you go strictly by definitions, it probably would be considered a narcotic. The definition is "a drug (as codeine, methadone, or morphine) that in moderate doses dulls the senses, relieves pain, and induces profound sleep but in excessive doses causes stupor, coma, or convulsions."
The butalbital in Fioricet is a barbiturate. A barbiturate is "any of various derivatives of barbituric acid (as phenobarbital) that are used especially as sedatives, hypnotics, and antispasmodics."
Fioricet is a pain reliever, not a medication that will stop or prevent a Migraine. One issue that may happen while taking Fioricet is it can create another form of headache called medication overuse headache. You see, taking Migraine abortive meds such as the triptans or ergotamines or any kind of pain medication --such as Fioricet-- more than two or three days a week can make matters worse by causing medication overuse headache (MOH), aka rebound. See Medication Overuse Headache - When the Remedy Backfires for more information on this.

UK names new fine arts dean
The University of Kentucky has named Michael Tick, chair of the department of theater at Louisiana State University, as the new dean of the College of Fine Arts.
Tick is also the producing artistic director of Swine Palace, a not-for-profit professional theater company connected to LSU that serves Baton Rouge.
He has been at LSU since 1999. Before that, he was in southeastern Virginia, where he was instrumental in founding the state's Governor's School for the Arts and served on the faculty at Old Dominion University. Tick has also taught at, among others, the University of Rhode Island, Northwestern University and Harvard. He has a master's degree from Northwestern and a doctorate from New York University.
Outside of academia, he has worked with Trinity Repertory Company, the Newport Music Festival, Newport Jazz Festival and produced several shows that have toured nationally and internationally.
Tick, who will begin work at UK in July, succeeds Robert Shay, who has served as dean since 1998.
"Although I leave behind two daughters at LSU, I will have no problem 'seeing blue!'" Tick said in a UK news release. "It's truly a privilege and an honor to be in this position, and I greatly appreciate the tremendous vote of confidence. My wife, Cathy, and I, along with our 10-year old daughter, Abbie, look forward to relocating to Lexington."

Part 1: How SEO Can Skyrocket Your Traffic 15607%
February 22nd, 2018
5 Comments comments
Over the course of the last few months we have been making small tweaks to our SEO strategy as well as content distribution strategy. These small tweaks have started to have incredible pay off.
We have seen a HUGE (Yuge if you are a New Yawker) growth in organic search. We recently went from seeing a few hundred visitors a month to thousands of visitors a week.
All of this through small but essential changes that you will learn about below!
Search Engine Optimization is all about making small modifications to parts of your website.
In this guide, we will present some of these small changes that could have a huge impact on your site's user experience and performance in organic search results.
We will first go through some of the main SEO activities to make sure that you have a good SEO strategy.
In part 2 we give you a simple cheat sheet that can help you improve your strategy greatly!
Keywords are words and phrases that determine all your SEO activities.
You can help you reach the customers that you want by selecting high quality and relevant keywords.
Keyword analysis involves identifying the words and phrases your customers are likely to use when they search for your products or services.
In order to determine the right keywords, you must understand your customers' search behavior. This will enable you to:
* See whether the products, services and content you offer match customer behaviors.
* Set goals for how much reach and visits are possible within your market.
* Compare your performance against competitors.
* Diagnose problems at a keyword through a gap analysis.
For this to work, you'll need a keyword software or spreadsheet that will help you track the results.
One of the best tools is Google Keyword Planner, which can help you understand customer search behaviors and some of the factors that are important when they are making buying decision.
You will be redirected to a new page where you have several options to find new keywords.
We will search by entering in a word that is relevant to the product or service that we offer.
After you hit enter then you will be taken to a new page.
The following options are available in Keyword Planner:
* Search for new keywords using a phrase, website or category – this can help you find keywords for a new campaign or expand the keyword list for an existing campaign.
* Get search volume data and trends – if you have a list of keywords, you can upload it manually or upload them as a CSV file to get an idea of how popular those keywords are.
* Multiply keyword lists to get new keywords – multiply two or more lists of keywords and get historical statistics or traffic forecasts for the new list of combined keywords.
* Get click and cost performance forecasts -these forecasts are specific to your AdWords account and the bid that you've selected.
After the tool collects the keyword ideas for you, you need to pick the most efficient ones. Pay attention to the following factors:
* Length of key phrases – your keyword list should include 2-4 word phrases. A single keyword may be to generic (for example, "fashion"); a phrase too long may attract little or no traffic (e.g. "where to buy a red flower print bag").
* Keywords with higher KEI (Keyword Efficiency Index) – KEI is a ratio between Number of Results and Number of Searches. Higher KEI means that lot of people are searching for this keyword, but there is no huge competition among websites.
* Keyword difficulty score – It shows how difficult it is to unseat the top ten ranking websites for the selected keyword. The higher the score, the harder it will be to rank in the top, so you should focus on keywords with low and moderate difficulty score.
While on this page open up a spreadsheet and start filling in your gold mine of keywords!
One of the main things you would want to check is whether is your website is visible to search engines. To to that, you can use WebSite Auditor, type in your site's URL and let the tool perform the audit. This step is really important because if content cannot be accessed by the search engines, it will not appear in search results.
When this is done, find Pages with restricted indexing category and see if there are any blocked content, and make sure that important content is not blocked by:
* The robots.txt file in the root directory – Fix the file right in the WebSite Auditor. Go to the Pages module, click the Robots.txt button and specify the rules the search engines will follow when crawling your website.
* The "noindex" tag in the <head> section of pages – In the WebSite Auditor, find the Indexing and Crawlability section and check your pages' status codes. Any pages with 4xx/5xx status codes should be fixes.
* The X-Robots-Tag in the HTTP header – In the WebSite Auditor, find the Redirects section and see if you have set up the redirect to the main domain version.
If search engines detect any spam issues on your pages, they will penalize your website and you will lose your rankings. These issues, that should be fixed as soon as possible, include:
* Cloaking – the content presented to the search engine spider is different from that presented to the user's browser;
* Viruses – any type of malware programs;
* Doorway – a web page that is created with the only purpose of sending visitors to a different page:
* Link Farm – any group of websites that hyperlink to every other site in the group.
All of these techniques are dated and should never be used. Additionally, Google is equipped with thousands of the world's top engineers whose job it is to make sure that these websites are found and penalized. They frequently release updates to their algorithm and websites that traffic came from blackhat techniques are decimated from the change.
So make sure you default to providing value to visitors and the rest will work itself out.
To determine whether you have the right link building strategy, you should ask yourself the following questions:
* Do we understand the content that works best to attract links within our sector?
* Do we have a publishing program to improve this content?
* Did we review all the options for link building and use those that work best for us?
* Did we define a way to know the value of links?
* Do we have measures to know if our link building is successful?
* Do we have someone responsible for link building?
* Is link building an ongoing, proactive process?
* Is our link building process integrated with other marketing activities, particularly online PR and social media?
If most of the answers are "Yes", then you have the right building strategy. If that's not the case, than you should work on creating one. Here are a few tips that can be helpful:
Tip #1: Review your site URLs – Dynamic URLs (such as http://site.com/product.php?cid=1&pid=5) are not user-friendly and search engine-friendly. You need to make URLs static, such as http://site.com/product/guide.html.
Tip #2: Fix too long URLs – In WebSite Audit, go to URLs section and check the pages with Too Long URLs. Optimize the length of the URLs that are too long, and make sure they are no longer than 75 symbols.
Tip #3: Make URLs descriptive – Use keywords in the URLs of the pages to make them more relevant and enhance rankings.
Tip #4: Create a custom 404 page – Customize a 404 page to make it useful for your website visitors – for example, the custom 404 page may include links to the most important pages of your website.
Tip #5: Fix broken links – Broken links cause traffic losses, so you should correct them as soon as possible.
Tip #6: Create and upload an XML sitemap – If you don't have a sitemap, create it and submit it to make sure that search engines know about all the pages on your site. You can do this using Google Webmaster Tools.
A content strategy is not only important to SEO, it also helps drive awareness and interaction through social media, so it can be said that it is a part of a wider customer engagement strategy. To be successful in a competitive SEO market, your content needs to be related to the interests of your audiences and differentiated from your competitors. This means that your content should be:
– Useful
– Relevant
– Engaging and
– Valuable for your audience.
Michael Stelzner, the founder of the Social Media Examiner website, states in his book Launch that creating amazing content means that you have to blend Nuclear Content Fuel and Primary Fuel.
Primary fuel content is created keep the business moving forward, and Nuclear Fuel is the special content used to attract the hundreds of thousands of visitors per month, many of whom later will purchase the products/services.
Stelzner also advises that the lifespan of primary fuel is about three days, and the types of primary fuel include: How-to articles, Expert interviews, Reviews, News stories, Case studies and Contrarian stories.
Nuclear fuel should always be free and includes: Reports based on surveys, White papers, Top 10 contests, Micro events (webinars, videos, podcasts, etc). Nuclear fuel is harder to produce, but it has a bigger impact and it is important for lead generation.
Here are some more content ideas for your website:
* Blog posts – Create unique blog posts that will inform and entertain your audience;
* Media – Create video blogs and podcasts;
* Guides – Create guides that can help your audience in their lives or jobs;
* Embed presentations and guides – For example, how-to-guides, by using www.slideshare.net, www.issuu.com, or www.scribd.com.
* Surveys and polls – People love to rate themselves or to give their opinion, and if the survey is good, they will share it with their friends.
Other than this creative part of content creation, you should pay attention to some technical details, most importantly:
1. Rewrite duplicate/missing titles – In the Site Audit module of WebSite Auditor, find the On-page section and check the Duplicate title and Empty title factors. Pay attention to Too long titles too, and make sure that your titles are no longer than 55 characters, including spaces.
2. Revise meta descriptions – Meta descriptions are shown in search results and can influence the number of clicks your site gets. Meta descriptions should be around 150 characters long.
3. Diversify text-only content – Use images to diversify your page content and get traffic from Google image search.
4. Insert keywords in document names – When naming documents available for download on your website, make sure that you include relevant keywords.
5. Decrease the number of outgoing links – Having too many links on your pages may cause your site to look like a spam site and hurt your site's SEO. Make sure that you have less than 100 links per page.
A backlink is a link from another website to yours. Backlinks can also be called hyperlinks or incoming links. In the context of SEO, a backlink is an important factor when determining how well your pages rank.
As you can assume, getting backlinks is not always simple, but here are a few easy ways that you can gain links to your website:
* Track if someone is mentioning your brand or business name – If you spot a mention of your company on a website that doesn't include one, contact them and ask them to add the link. You can track mentions using Mediatoolkit
* Pitch a story about something you've done to your local newspaper – Local newspapers are often looking for good stories to write, so approach them with some interesting subjects.
* Find a website or a blog that is looking for guest contributors related to your business – If you can write or speak about the subject, send a pitch about the topic in question.
* Create useful and engaging infographic – Infographics can be complicated to create, but if you create a good one, chances are that someone else will use it.
* Link someone else first – If you include a link to someone else's content, they can notice that and return the favor.
If you already have existing backlinks, find them all with SEO SpyGlass, and check how strong your backlink profile is. This information is useful for:
* Identifying the websites that discuss your business,
* Identifying your top content,
* Discovering errors in the links that point to your site,
* Comparing link metrics between multiple sites.

(From an actual text of Ivy with her husband - the struggle is real)
From Ivy - you can email her at email@example.com
A few months ago I came to Ivy, our content writer & helps curate the boxes, to join me (Melanie) on a round. Ivy has worked with me for a year by this time so this was the ultimate test of wills (or she just wanted to help out her boss with content). Below is her experience with a June Round. Share with your friends.
How I Unexpectedly Did Round
"I need you to look up compliant products," my boss said.
Sure, I can do that. I have no idea what "Round" is, but Google is my best friend, so that shouldn't be an issue. Several hours later, I had a list of about five dozen foods and two pages of my notebook filled with rules and shopping lists.
"Babe, I am thinking about trying Round," I told my husband that night.
"What's that?" he asked.
"It's an elimination diet. For thirty days, you eliminate foods that are known to cause health issues, like sugar, dairy, gluten, legumes, etc. Then you reintroduce them and see how you feel. I wonder if my red dots are caused by gluten," I answered.
Ever since I can remember, I have had little red dots on my forearms. I googled it up and found out the condition is called keratosis pilarisor, commonly referred to as, chicken skin. Dr. Google says the cause for this condition is unknown, but people have been telling me for years that it likely has something to do with gluten. At this point, it had gotten bad and it was annoying me a lot and I was – finally – ready to see if kicking gluten makes a difference.
The following day, I told my boss that I was considering giving it a go and she was supportive of the idea. We decided to start after the Easter weekend, together. I will be doing the regular program and she was to follow the plant-based modification of the round.
Sticking to The Program is Easy, but Starting Is Hard
My first trip to the store took me about 2.5 hours. I had to read the label of every single item that I placed in my shopping cart. I spend nearly 15 minutes looking for compliant turkey breast lunch meat. I had no idea that there's gluten in meat! At one point, I stopped googling ingredients and reading the labels and simply decided to search for "whole 30 compliant turkey meat", but that honestly did not help me much, because the store had such a large selection that it took a while to find the recommended manufacturer.
The process continued like this for, well, everything. Even with the fresh produce, I was not still familiar with the rules and I kept checking if I could have this or that. Usually, the answer was yes, but it was annoying. And so, my thirty days began.
The most annoying thing was the amount of time I spent in the kitchen! I am, admittedly, not a great cook. Yes, I cook and we eat, but I do not enjoy spending my time cooking. I certainly do not enjoy doing the dishes! And let me tell you, there. Are. So. Many. Dishes. I felt like I was constantly in the kitchen! Not only did I have to deal with having breakfast, but it also had to get made! I now understand why meal prepping is a thing. I may have to do another round with meal prepping and see how that goes.
My thirty days slowly passed. Half way through the round I saw this "round calendar" thing in one of the Facebook groups and the thing was pretty spot on! It says that around days 12-14 you will dream of junk food. I did do that. On day 13, I woke up and told my husband I had the best crepes with Nutella in my dream and woke up panicking about messing up my diet! The creepiest thing is, I saw the calendar about 5 days later. It was like reading an old horoscope and realizing they got it all right.
The Results Were Not Quite What I Wanted
Since the scale is off limits during Round, you are forced to focus on other benefits of the program. I went down a pant size. My skin was clearer. I was waking up easier in the morning, even though I went cold turkey on coffee. And, other than one afternoon early in my round, I was not hungry. I felt I was eating a good amount of food, and, somehow, I still lost 6% of my bodyweight in only 30 days.
While my face did benefit from my nutrition, I can't report my keratosis pilaris went away. It got a little bit better for sure, but it is still there. I am not sorry, though, because perhaps I did not get what I wanted from the program, but I did get what I needed. The program forced me to face my own weight issues, which I was avoiding professionally. It was sort of a kick-start that was long overdue and it moved my life to a healthier track.
Could it to the same for you? I don't know. I do think it's worth giving it a shot. You have nothing to lose from eating healthy, and with the amazing powers of internet, you can even do all your shopping from a couch. In fact, if you subscribe to the Whole Box, we can do some of your shopping for you!

A Regular Bud: A Story that Still Surprises Me
When I wrote A Regular Bud as a digital short e-book, I never expected it to do what it has been doing ever since it was released.
It's been on more bestseller lists than I can name, because I don't usually keep track of these things...nor do I have google alerts set up. It's been on one web site's bestseller list since it was released. And now it's back on the publisher's bestseller list at number one. When I wrote it, I thought I was writing a little short story that would sell a few copies and I could add it to my list of publishing credits.
It constantly surprises me, mainly because I'm not sure what I did to make it resonate with readers. I've had more e-mails from this book than from anything else I've written. I'm half tempted to write a sequel, but then I have a feeling the sequel wouldn't go over as well at the original. I've been there before. Sequels don't always resonate the same way the original did.
You can check it out here at the publisher's web site. Or it can be found at almost all web sites where digital books are sold.

I really loved this story and I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.
What made me love it so much was the type of fetish
I see plenty of books out there in the fetish genre but I don't see a lot of short simple stories with 'light' fetishes.
You should write more! :)

Thanks for commenting. I really don't always know what's going to work. And I agree, the lighter, simple fetishes relate to more people...I think.

Just bought this from amazon and read it. It was cute, although it would be nice to know more about what happens after....
I know what you mean about sequels, though. Sometimes they just can't be quite as good as the 1st story. Kind of like leftovers...

I'm thinking about it. I actually wrote and had published another story with a similar title...Another Regular Bud. But the characters are different. At the time, I thought I'd start "A Regular Bud" series with different characters and storyline. But I wound up getting busy with other things I couldn't postpone.
I might go back and revisit these guys this year.

- Annoying Pop-up's
- Shows commercial adverts
- Connects to the internet without permission
Enter Voyage
Enter Voyage is yet another ad-supported program that comes from the SuperWeb LLC group, is infamous for producing other adware programs such as Astro Find, High Stairs, Travel Output and many others. Therefore, it is not surprising that we highly advise you to remove the adware program in question just like any of its counterparts. The vendors of this invasive program use similar marketing tactics to lure unsuspecting Internet users into downloading and installing it. On its official website, you are greeted with statements claiming that this program should be used to improve your online shopping experience. While that sounds tempting, you must know that in reality, it does nothing to help you. In fact, this adware program is only capable of causing various disruptions while you are surfing the web. If you are keen on restoring your web browser's default functionality, you should follow the removal guide that we provide below to delete Enter Voyage in a few easy steps.
There are numerous suspicious features that Enter Voyage exhibits. The most prominent trait that is the primary indication that this adware program is active on your PC is a web browser flooded with a vast amount of unwanted third-party web content that usually presents itself as various commercial ads, pop-ups, and coupons. Unfortunately, none of those ads are actually useful; in no way will they help you save money or time while you are shopping online. All these ads and pop-ups will only burden you and eventually make your online experience miserable, to put it mildly. While such annoyance is the dominant feature that this adware exhibits, there is something much more alarming about this intrusive tool than meets the eye. Upon further investigation, we have discovered that some of the ads presented by this ad-supported program could contain redirect links. Thus, by clicking on such an ad you could end up on suspicious or even malicious websites, meaning that you could expose your computer to malicious software. It goes without saying that an application, which is a virtual threat, needs to be removed without any hesitation. Only by executing the complete removal of Enter Voyage you will be able to surf the web the way you are used to once again.
Since it is impossible to download Enter Voyage from its official website it is not surprising that it is spread in the way that its mentioned counterparts are – via bundled installers. Generally, such software bundles are obtained from dubious third-party hosting websites; thus, avoiding them will naturally reduce the chances of infecting your PC with this or any other kind of controversial program. Additionally, you should install a professional antimalware tool on your PC. If you do not have such a tool already, there is a high risk that your PC could get infected with suspicious software. By running a professional malware detection and removal tool, you will have an operating system that is fully secured at all times.
Fortunately, the removal of Enter Voyage is rather simple because you can delete it via Control Panel. Once the manual removal is performed, you need to scan your PC with a professional antimalware tool. This is crucial because after a full system scan you will be sure that every single bit associated with Enter Voyage was removed from your PC. It is important to delete every single file and registry entry associated with this adware because it is the only way that you can stop all the questionable activity of this adware.

According to the latest research, contractor demand in the public sector has increased substantially, with the demand over permanent staff increasing.
The report, which comes from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, shows that public sector service providers are now hiring contractors in order to maintain service levels, which reflects "the ongoing funding cuts as part of the coalition government's measures to reduce the budget deficit."
Because of how contractors work, using their skills means that the public sector is able to reduce their permanent headcount whilst still maintaining their required commitments.
A fifth of all the organisations increased their use of contractors during 2012 when compared to the previous year, with a great deal of this growth coming from the public sector.
The highest demand in the sector was for a few main roles such as skilled managers, technicians and professionals – although many potential applicants did not possess "the necessary specialist or technical skills."
Against a general backdrop of increased competition for the best qualified talent (there has been a sharp spike from 20 per cent in 2009 to 62 per cent in 2013), a great deal of the contractor demand is currently centred around larger organisations (i.e., those that have more than 5,000 employees) with smaller firms as a general rule not carrying the same demand.
Hayes HR director Barney Ely said:
"We are starting to see confidence slowly returning to the jobs market with interesting and challenging opportunities available for those highly skilled professionals who are looking to make their next move,"
"Employers are facing a competitive market when trying to attract people to fill skills gaps."

Return to Nazareth: Encouraging our Fathers
This week we looked at men, Father's and St. Joseph. St. Joseph was the foster father of Jesus and significant masculine model for him in his life. Joseph is a model for men in the family who in the hour of danger, "took the child and his mother by night" (Mt 2:14) and brought them to safety. Father's today are called to model this courage and faith towards their own family, protecting their wife and children from the harm of this world. They are also to model faith that even though the path ahead is unknown, the one who the husband trust (God) goes before him preparing the way. This model continually teaches the family to trust in the providential care of God especially in times of trial.
Men are constantly fed lies by our society. These lies can deceive men away from faithful protective providers to a hesitant second line of defense behind their wife, at best. Boyish and bachelorhood tendencies can sometimes keep men pursuing the wrong challenge while the family suffers. Joseph, calls men back to selfless sacrifice so that wives and children may grow up in the security and safety of a protected home. A home that is not only protected by the father but primarily by God, whom the father looks to for guidance.
Let us pray, through the intercession of St. Joseph, this week for our Fathers. Let us seek to forgive our earthly fathers if we need, that our hearts may freely receive the Fatherly provision of our Heavenly Father.

Noah Staloff - Noah has been working with horses since he was young at various different resorts in upstate new york. He continued his passion
by attending the University of Findlay where he was fortunate to study under some of the leading experts in the industry. The University's intensive course of study provided him with the environment required to attain and hone his excellent skills in equine training. After graduating with a bachelor's degree in Equine Science with a Western Emphasis, Noah moved on to managing a small boarding facility in Warren County New Jersey. At the same time, Noah was working part time as a veterinarian technician for Running "S" Equine Veterinary Services in Califon NJ.
Over the years the training program that Noah has developed focuses on creating a resistance free and highly responsive animal. He truly believes that all finished horses should be a pleasure to ride. Alongside this Noah strives to educate his students, helping them to gain a better, and much deeper understanding of how to manipulate their horse's body as separate parts to allow for a better quality of movement and to gain more effective communication with their horse.
Megan Staloff - Megan started riding at a young age as well, taking lessons from a friend's mom and tagging along at local 4-H events. Wanting to further her education and her love of horses, Megan attended Centenary College's Equine program where she graduated with a Bachelor's in Equine Business Management. Not only did Megan have the experience riding under some great instructors in the Hunter/Jumper industry, but she also had the chance to work closely with Dr. Fugaro of Mountain Pointe Equine Veterinary Services.
Megan and Noah been able to share their passion for training a more responsive and supple mount, but they also share a love of Equine Science. Both are always striving to educate themselves and others on equine nutrition and physiology.

Bhubaneswar: Vehicular movement was affected in various parts of Odisha today due to 'Bharat Bandh' observed by Dalit organisations protesting the dilution of the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act.
The effect of the bandh was majorly felt in the tribal-dominated districts of the state. While buses remained off the road, many shops and business establishments were shut in Malkangiri, Kalahandi, Sundargarh and Balangir districts.
A rail roko was staged at the Khetrajpur station in Sambalpur by the Adivasi Dalit Sena, resulting in halting of Sambalpur-Puri and Sambalpur-Rayagada trains.
Several Dalit organisations also staged road blockade on National Highway at Vani Vihar, Jayadev Vihar and Acharya Vihar in Bhubaneswar. Hundreds of vehicles temporarily remained stranded on the road due to the block. It was lifted following the intervention of police.
Notably, the Dalits and tribal communities were upset after the Supreme Court in its order on March 20 banned the automatic arrest of anyone booked under the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act

Strawberry Sunday
Ohhhh, this is my most favourite part o' the week - showing gratitude for my juicy, juicy strawberries, those moments o' loveliness that make my life sweeter...
Club Cairo - so, my sisters o' sway, the gorgeous goddess-girls that I belly dance with, went to Club Cairo in Bournemouth this weekend to see the most AH-mazing talented ladies entertain us in the way o' belly dance... Wowzers! Highlight o' the night for me was Bex Priest, who mixed it all up with this horror-psychobilly belly dance - totes mesmorising!
I know I sound like a broken record, but I LOVE all things belly dance so to watch the pro-girls, and know that if I put in the time, and effort, I might begin to get that good, makes me super determined to practice my belly rolls and hip lifts every day - hello core muscles, who knew you were hiding under there?!
Body revolution - I'm working on a new project for girls between 12 and 25, it's all a bit secret and hush-hush right now, but you need to know I'm STUPIDLY excited about it and can't wait to share it with the world! Last week, I put a call out on my teen site www.pink-world.co.uk for girls to make a video about what self-esteem means to them, and ohmystars, I have had some AMAZING videos - they've literally made me make eye water with their heart-spoken truths, humour, self-assuredness and general freakin' awesomeness - stay tuned for how you can be a part of this body revolution too - bring on the love stuff, right?!!
Book I loved: Faery tale by Signe Pike Lost after the death of her father, Signe Pike begins to ponder the many mysteries of life, wondering whether true mysticism exists. By her own admission, she is not a believer of the God dude but she deffo has a yearning, a need, to feel connected to something, and that something comes in the form of faeries. Now, the only problem with this, is that the author says she doesn't believe in faeries - awkward, right?!! - although, like me, she does have a readiness to believe and I love that we get to go on that journey with her..
There is a real truth to the writer's thoughts and realisations, and it's hard not to feel moved at times. In terms of actually finding faeries, you can see how much believing in the presence of them actually enriches Signe's life and puts her onto a path of self-discovery, and the faery folklore and subjective accounts from people she encounters, make for an interesting, whimsical read.
This is very much a search for magic and a connection with nature and some might say nothing to do with actual faery folk: the faeries seem to be a vehicle to get Signe from one place to another - to help her to cope with her father's death and fill a hole she's been feeling in her life. We all need something to believe in, right?!

my new Skullcandy headphones - I don't like to be a total consumerist, but I did do a little happy dance when my new headphones arrived. Listening to Beyonce on these bad boys, makes life better. I know it shouldn't, but it absolutely does. And they're pink and black, I mean look at them, gorgeous, non?! Finishing work - for the last 6 weeks I've been working on a government pilot scheme for working with 16 year olds - it's been interesting, insightful, really freakin' challenging and fun. I'm not going to lie, I'm really pleased it's over, it was HARD work, but I've learned so much - about myself, about young people and most importantly, how current youth provision in this country needs a SERIOUS re-think. David Cameron, big Dave, you have a LOT o' work to do.
Burlesque - the movie was a HUGE let-down but the act o' burlesque is always something that I've been obsesso about, glitter, glamour and a li'l bit o' ohh la la - what's not to love, exactly?! Immodesty Blaize is one of my absolute all-time inspir-o-girls - there's an AMAZING interview with her in my new book, she's smart, funny, sensual and kick-ass - my favourite qualities in a woman, so I'm all kinds o' excited to be starting burlesque class this evening. Yep, I shall be learning the art o' tease with a very awesome instructoress. To say the beau is happy about my new extra curricular activity is an understatement. Will report back later in the week...
Other strawberry moments include: Messages from gorgeous girl-friends telling me how inspir-o I am...how nice is that? It filled my heart with the most beautiful happy-stuff to have someone who I totally connected with after our first meeting write me such a lovely message...
The beau. Always. In a gazillion different ways.
Eating stupidly expensive smoked salmon from the packet - so wrong, but so, so good.
Spending obscene amounts of time planning and sketching gorgeous belly dance ensembles.
Creating the first three cards in my SASSY tarot pack - if I do say so myself, they're looking bee-you-tiful!
So, now over to you - what are you grateful for right now?! What are your juicy strawberries? Care to share?!

I like this product. worth every penny
Easy to use
I have a lot of heath issues and I've turned to juicing to get the most benefits from my slim diet. I've tried several blenders and juicers.This blender is easy to use and I'm fascinated with the vacuum technology on this blender. It's smart function makes it easy to use. I've noticed that there's hardly any separation or bubbles which helps me know the vacuum seal is doing its job. I have been very pleased with my purchase and think it's worth the cost.
More energy
I recently bought the Ozen. As of right now I'm really satisfied with the power behind it. It's super simple to use and my juice has always turned out great. I feel like I'm getting more nutrients than when I juice with my slow juicer. I've noticed I have more energy throughout the day than I normally do. I'm happy with my results so far with the Ozen.
Makes life better/easier!
I love juicing for my family. I make sure to have a fresh batch of juice in the fridge when the kids get home from school as part of their after school snack. The Ozen has made it incredibly easy to make fresh juice. It's SO simple to use my 10 year old could use it! It has smoothly blended all the fruits and veggies we've tried. So far I have yet to see any bubbles or separation in any of the juices I've made which is awesome since I know I'm getting all the nutrients from the fruit and vegetables we use. Another plus is that the containers are easy to wash so I can quickly make another batch of fresh juice. The Ozen has made juicing easy. I would highly recommend it.

I sat for most of the day watching the rain sweep across the Fish Hoek Valley, driven from the west by squally winds, lamenting the fact that the endless sunny days have come to an end. It is one of the quirks of our weather patterns here on the Cape Point Peninsula that summer seems to stretch on forever- during the hottest parts of the year, when it is too hot during the day to do much, and everything is so dry you can almost hear it crackle you cannot actually visualize that it can possibly rain ever again. Then winter hits, and in a few months we will begin to think that something has gone wrong with the weather and we will never see the sunshine ever again.
Now I am a self confessed grass hopper when it comes to garden chores (as in the fable of the ant and the grass hopper). I am seduced by the idea of an everlasting summer and fall into the trap every year of being caught out by the turn in the weather. So suddenly I find myself stuck indoors feeling a deep sense of frustration that I am not able to be outside doing all the things that I haven't done for the last six months.
Then it comes time for actually having to go out into the storm (my dogs don't seem to care how bad it is, they still bully me into it mid afternoon) and for the duration of my expedition I do nothing but bemoan how bad it is out.
Which is strange when you consider that I grew up in a place where a double figure daytime high is considered summer, even with the howling wind and rain (break out the bucket and spade it must be a bank holiday). My family are famous for picking the worst week of the year for our annual holidays- the local wisdom was to make sure that you never booked your holidays the same time as us. So I was raised to make the most of it, despite the weather. I've just gotten soft from all my warm weather travels and from living in the Cape.
So there I was, tramping round Fish Hoek sports field in a full length rain coat with enough clothing on to mount an expedition to Antarctica, cursing the dogs with every step. I got into the house (was blown in would fit it better) and said to D, "its absolutely foul out," and her reply made me stop in my tracks. "Oh well, at least its dry and warm in here!"
Yes, it is, but in this weather I have to wonder how many people are not that fortunate, how many people are holding onto a make shift shelter, hoping that it doesn't blow away in the night? How many are cold and wet, unable to get dry or warm no matter what they do? I'm no believer in communism, I have always got off my backside when life got tough and sorted out my own state of affairs and through hard work and a willingness to do the necessary have gotten myself into a nice position in life. I am a firm believer that if you want your situation to get better then you had better take care of that yourself.
There are a lot of people in this area who are in a horrible situation, one that I would hope to never find myself in.
Do I want to move them all into my spare room? I am afraid not, but during this time of year spare a thought for all those less fortunate than you, cut them some slack, put out some old jumpers on bin day, or donate them to a charity that will hand them out. At the very least cut people some slack. We are all very quick in this area to want to be rid of certain elements of our society. Crime is high, but if you were in such a bad situation could you take the moral high ground, I think the temptation would always be there, even to use drugs to escape from it all.
Be safe, be warm and appreciate what you have, and remember the old moral- do not judge a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes!

Fresh. Simple. Local.
Our food is fresh and simple with the focus firmly on quality and where possible we work with smaller, local producers throughout our menu.
We have lots of interesting dishes, from small mezze plates though to delicious soups, pastries, salads and freshly prepared artisan toasties.
Our Food
At the core of our menu you will find our charcuterie selection, where you can build your own board of cured meats and cheese.
Charcuterie boards are perfect for enjoying with friends with a bottle of wine or as something to excite your taste buds whilst exploring our Enomatic wines.
If it's a smaller bite you're looking for, we also serve a selection of artisan toasties and ever changing salads and soups, perfect for a lunch on the go, or a lighter dinner.Book a table
"Delicious wine and nibbles"
The Tasting House is a really nice night out, if fairly low key. Me and my friends came here to catch up, and we had some lovely wine and food too. The concept of pouring your own wine from the tasting machine is quite fun, and the sharing platter we had was truly divine. The only downside is that it closes too early! Read More

"Great spot for great wine and charcuterie"
Really good selection and friendly owners. Highly recommend. Superb wines from Europe, South America and ROW. Cured meat selection was delicious.

"Great concept, great food, great wine"
Original concept and different to anything else in town, this is a great place for excellent wine, yummy charcuterie, couple with good service in a friendly atmosphere. For grown ups this is the best alternate to any of the pubs in town if you want a good lunch with wine.

Simple Surfing
The thing I love about longboard surfing is the complexity hidden in simplicity. It's the subtle art of minimal movement and perfect trim, easy to do but hard to perfect.
This morning it was perfect conditions for pure and simple surfing. Leave the turns on the sand and just stand up! It's 1ft and perfect!
Sorry for the double send yesterday. I kooked it; got the banner link completely wrong; my apologies. It's working today though and you can still save $25 if you shop online at Harris Farm and use the discount code "H4RRI5″ at the checkout.

Podcast #869: SiliconDust Streaming TV Service
We recently read a news story about a TV streaming service from SilconDust, makers of the HDHomerun a device that allows you to take your over the air TV signal and broadcast it over your network to mobile devices as well as set top boxes like the AppleTV.

Smart Home Security
We have discussed Smart Home Security before but with the recent proliferation of Smart Home and IoT Devices we thought it would be good to review some precautions you can take to protect your home network. These are general good practice steps. Some will be simple to incorporate others may require some tech savvy concepts.
Passwords - We know it's a pain but the stronger your password the harder it is for someone to crack it. Never use the default or no password. That is the first thing someone would try to gain access to your stuff. If available use 2-factor authentication. Have a code sent to a trusted device or use the Google or Apple 2-Factor system.
Multiple Networks - Create a seperate network for your IoT devices so that they do not have access to the rest of your network. This way if there is a security flaw in your connected microwave your automation devices will not be vulnerable.
Create your own Cloud - Rather than having your information like video from your cameras stored to the cloud. Have the video go to a NAS. This will minimize the risk of your video falling into the wrong hands.
Monitor your Network - Periodically look at what is connected to your network. If there is something you don't recognize investigate and take action.
We have plenty of network experts that listen to our show. If you have additional ideas please let us know and we'll share with the listeners!
SiliconDust Streaming TV Service
We recently read a news story about a TV streaming service from SilconDust, makers of the HDHomerun a device that allows you to take your over the air TV signal and broadcast it over your network to mobile devices as well as set top boxes like the AppleTV.
Milton Scritsmier of Boulder Colorado was kind enough to write in with his experience of the service. It was a bit longer than a typical email but we wanted to share it with our listeners so we turned it into a segment on the show.
I've been using it for the last month and overall I'm happy. It should only be considered by people who can get OTA broadcasts. But if you do, it has two big advantages the other streaming TV services don't.
One, because OTA is free, you don't have to pay for local TV stations in the SiliconDust package. You get all the broadcast networks offered in your area, not just some of them. The money saved this way can go for the other channels SiliconDust offers in its package (it currently costs $34.99 per month). I'm pretty happy with the channels provided, but it's not heavy on sports.
Two, you can use your own network storage device as a DVR. This means you are not limited in the number of shows you record nor how long you keep them since it only depends on the size of the disk you have. The number of simultaneous viewers of recorded shows is limited by only what your NAS and your network will support. The shows are recorded in H.264 and can be viewed on all kinds of equipment and players. It also means you can skip over commercials any time you want. The quality is better than what I've seen with DirectTV Now, the only other streaming TV service I've tried. Because SiliconDust's equipment works with Plex, you can use it for remote viewing of shows on any device that supports Plex.
It does require a significant outlay in equipment to get started beyond the monthly fee. I paid $150 for SiliconDust's HDHomeRun Connect, which lets me record four OTA shows at a time in addition to whatever is sent to me over the internet. To activate the SiliconDust's DVR service there's a $35/year annual fee. You need some kind of set top box like an Amazon FireTV to run the HDHomeRun app which displays the shows on your TV. If you don't have an antenna for OTA, you'll have to pay for that as well. I live in a remote area and a year ago it cost me $500 to have a professional mount an antenna on my roof and calibrate it. Finally, to record the shows you'll need some kind of NAS. This can cost $200 to $300 for a low-end one if you don't have one already and it needs to be one supported by SiliconDust (for example, WD's NASes work well).
The other big downside is that the user interface is still in its early days. For example, it sometimes gets lost when navigating the schedule. Because the HDHomeRun app has to run on set top boxes and other devices without sophisticated remotes, the user interface is not ideal like it is on a TiVo. But the user interface is not laggy like it is on some other streaming services.
Because of the OTA and equipment requirements, I don't expect SiliconDust's streaming TV service to become one of the majors. But many people who have cut the cord may already have many of the pieces. I already had most of the equipment mentioned above and I cobbled together a NAS from a 7TB external drive and a Raspberry Pi super-clone, so the initial outlay was not that much for me.

Black Friday is coming up, so here's a reminder to everyone to be kind to retail workers. They do not control the stock, so don't yell at them if that doorbuster you were after sold out before you got there. A lot of them had to come into work right after Thanksgiving dinner (especially now that stores are opening on Thanksgiving evening/midnight Black Friday). A lot of them also have anxiety issues, but can't avoid the crowd and the stress that comes with working/attending Black Friday without risking the loss of their job. And a whole lot of them have to do this for minimum wage.
Every year there are injuries and even fatalities that result from the mob-mentality of Black Friday shoppers. Please do not make it any harder on the employees or your fellow shoppers. A person's life and well-being is far more valuable than a widescreen tv.

As the national voice for volunteerism, Volunteer Canada leads the advancement of volunteerism in strengthening society and improving quality of life in Canada by recognizing volunteer involvement as essential to building healthy, quality communities.
Working with its members and partners in communities across Canada, Volunteer Canada develops and implements a wide range of research and public policy initiatives, as well as programs, which all relate to volunteerism and the voluntary sector.
For more than a decade, Volunteer Canada has been working with businesses of all sizes across the country to help them develop, improve and justify their employee volunteer programs.
In 2005, Volunteer Canada joined forces with 21 national corporations to form the Canadian Corporate Council on Volunteering—a peer to peer group of leaders who promote the value and impact of employee volunteer programs.
The Council has continued to evolve since its inception and is now focused on the development of this Centre for Excellence in Corporate Community Involvement. The development framework for the Centre includes four pillars—Information, Curriculum, Research & Best Practices, and Consultation & Support.
The Centre for Excellence brings together the for-profit and nonprofit sectors on common ground for the first time in Canada. Participants from both sectors will learn how to better communicate and work together in partnership by leaning about each other through the four pillars.
This social networking technology tool has been developed to facilitate this collaboration between sectors. It allows corporations and nonprofits to have the ability to login in to an interactive website and connect to communities of common interest for discussion, learning, and sharing. The site also showcases the collected best practices of the members of the Corporate Council on Volunteering and will be the breeding ground for curriculum topics.
So take a look around…and become a member of this fast growing phenomona!

Uluru is one of Australia's most famous landmarks, and as a consequence it is also one of Australia's most photographed landmarks. I see pictures of Uluru all the time on postcards, calendars, and chatchkas-for-tourists no matter where in Australia I happen to be. I didn't think it was possible to take a new, unique or interesting picture of Uluru. Then I saw Angus's pictures of the place. I thought I'd put a small selection of them up, because they're just so good, and so different.
*Click to enlarge the photos in a lightbox.*
Angus also took some pretty amazing photos of Kata-Tjuta, Uluru's under-appreciated step-sister. Although I didn't get to participate in most of these adventures, I did get to do the short Walpa Gorge Walk when I went to pick up Mitch and Gus after getting our tyre fixed.
I may have to print some of these out and frame them.

How might FPWA leverage NY City's investment in worker co-operatives to further develop the business ecosystem through public-private partnerships? Through three webinars elevating the voice of practitioners as content experts and a day-long co-design convening introducing unions, city departments, elected officials, universities, CSOs and anchor institutions to co-op businesses, we drew the road ahead for collaborative ecosystem development. The events yielded a report containing 4 proposals for follow-up projects, to which each participant pledged participation.
Up&Go | Scaling Worker Co-operatives Through Platforms
How might CFL leverage technologies to increase worker co-operatives' impact on people's lives? How might they be pioneers in truly democratizing the sharing economy? Through design thinking workshops with members of 10 co-operatives and consultations with funders & professionals, we created a platform & web app that served the workers whose labor it amplified.
NYC Worker Co-operative Business Development Initiative & Coalition
How might 14 funded organizations & a dozen allies shift from competition to collaboration to develop successful cooperatives and grow the New York City worker co-operative business ecosystem? Over the course of 1.5 years, from January 2015 to July 2016, I guided the Initiative & broader Coalition as it developed its vision & strategy, aligned its activities, established shared measurements that focussed on service delivery, collaboration & referrals, increased public recognition of worker co-operatives, strengthened linkages with potential allies, advanced policy and mobilized new funding.

Above I have looked at the US budget from 1970 to 2011, and as you can see the US federal "outlays" are near an all time high at 24,1% of the US GDP, while the "receipts" are near an all time low at 15,4% of GDP.
Below we see the net effect, a budget deficit of 8,7% of GDP for the year 2011, down from 10.1% in 2009. The last years show the largest budget deficits in the history of the US since 1950…
In comparison the Eurozone budget deficit as % of GDP is just 3,2%, almost a third of the US budget deficit… Below you see the US federal debt as % of US GDP:
As you can see, the US debt to GDP ratio is expected to be around 104% in 2012. Compare this around 91% for the Eurozone, and just 86% for the EU average(EU-27).
Things are much worse in the US, but their monetary policy hides the problem. The US Federal reserve is printing money and buying up US bonds to keep interest rates low. If ECB did this too, there would be no "Eurozone crisis", but perhaps higher inflation. Do read: Why the Eurozone has problems and the US not
