Online marketing for businesses can seem to be a daunting task. If you are a business owner and want to increase the profits and exposure that your business makes by using online marketing it can be difficult to know exactly where to start.
In this article I am going to show you that using online marketing to promote your business does not need to be either difficult or expensive. We will discuss how easy it is to get a website set up to promote your business, how to get targeted visitors to your website and why you need to use your website to collect the email addresses of your customers.
It is easy to set up a website to promote your business online. You do not need an expensive site that costs thousands of dollars. All you need is a simple website consisting of one to five pages. This website just needs to tell your customers a bit about you and your business and what goods or services you provide. It needs to tell your customers how to contact you and where you are located.
Once you have set up your website you need to get people to visit it. This can be achieved by adding your website to directories and by using social networks like Twitter and Facebook. Your website should be search engine optimized so that people will see your business listed on page one of the search engines and visit your site first rather than the site of one of your competitors.
You need to collect the email addresses of your website visitors so that you can send them details about any offers you have, or new products that they might be interested in purchasing. You could send them a regular newsletter that will keep your business in front of them when they open their emails. Then when they are thinking of purchasing a product or service it will probably be you that they turn to as you have already established a good relationship with them by using online marketing for your business.
In conclusion, if you are thinking of promoting your business using online marketing you can easily do this without too much expense or effort. You need to get simple a website set up, get targeted visitors to come to your website, when they are on your website you should try to get their email address so that you can keep in touch with them. There are several good books available which can show you how to effectively market online. Or if you do not have the time to read a long book then obtaining a short report on online marketing for business would be the next best thing.

By Sooyoung "Nikki" Cheon | Undergraduate | BS '13 Accounting
I started the Buffalo Undergraduate Consulting Club for students interested in management consulting. We have more than 30 members. It is a professional club that provides students with necessary resources to build the skill sets required of a consultant. In spring 2013, we held a competition with the University of Rochester. This gave students an opportunity to solve a real-life, complex business problem and apply their skill sets, which was a huge success.
The Career Resource Center (CRC) in the School of Management at UB hooked me up with a consulting company named Capco based in New York City, and through that, I was able to network with them and benefit a lot. Consultants from Capco came to UB as guest speakers for our club, helping us get knowledgeable about what the consultants do, what skill sets we need to develop to become a good management consultant, and overall how to live a fulfilling life.
In addition, the CRC and Capco helped us greatly with the 2013 competition by providing us with the right equipment and facilities, helping us organize the event, and serving as judges for the competition. It was great to see how students from both schools were able to actively solve the complex business problem using their knowledge and skills, come up with the recommendation, and present their solutions to the judges.

Mod Rock
A drum kit is a collection of drums, cymbals and often other percussion instruments, such as cowbells, wood blocks, triangles, chimes, or tambourines, arranged for convenient playing by a single person (drummer). The individual instruments of a drum set are hit by a variety of implements held in the hand, including sticks, brushes, and mallets.
Two notable exceptions include the bass drum, played by a foot-operated pedal, created by Jonathan McEwen, and the hi-hat cymbals, which may be struck together using a foot pedal in addition to being played with sticks or brushes. Although other instruments can be played using a pedal, the feet are usually occupied by the bass drum and hi hat, and as a result the drummer plays in a seated position. Percussion notation is often used by drummers to signify which drum set components are to be played.
A full size drum set without any additional percussion instruments has a bass drum, floor tom, snare drum, tom-toms, and a variety of cymbals including hi-hat cymbals, ride cymbal and a crash cymbal. Various music genres dictate the stylistically appropriate use of the drum kit's set-up. For example, in most forms of rock music, the bass drum, hi-hat and snare drum are the primary instruments used to create a drum beat, whereas in jazz, ride and snare patterns tend to be more prevalent. In the 2000s, an increasing number of drummers have begun to use electronic drum pads which trigger synthesized or sampled drum sounds.

DISGRACED veteran broadcaster Stuart Hall was cleared today of raping two young girls.
A jury at Preston Crown Court found Hall, 84, not guilty of a string of historical allegations involving two under-age girls, dating back to the mid-1970s.
He is currently serving a 30-month jail term after he pleaded guilty to indecently assaulting 13 other young girls, one as young as nine, over a period of nearly 20 years.
At the beginning of his trial last week he pleaded guilty to indecently assaulting one of the new complainants when she was aged 13.
But he was cleared of 15 counts of rape and four of indecent assault today by the jury which convicted him of just one count of indecent assault.

NORTH HAMPTON — Microbrew lovers, rejoice! You're in the perfect place at the perfect time. The popularity of locally brewed suds is at an all-time high, plus this area has a pretty darned rich history of beer making.
Want another reason to celebrate? There's a new way to share your hoppy passion with like-minded spirits and try out some of the region's best microbrews at the same time.
Enter the Beer Bus.
What is it? Think personally guided tours of local breweries with a touch of historical beerspective. Think small batch beer tastings and the option to fill up growlers to bring home with you.
What is a growler? It's the common name for a glass half-gallon jug, commonly used by microbreweries to distribute their products in place of the more expensive bottling system of major beer retailers. Patrons return empty growlers to a brewery to have them refilled. Thus the bus is nicknamed "Greta the Growler Getta."
The concept, officially called the "Granite State Growlers Tour," is new to New Hampshire says founder David Adams.
"I found myself taking everyone I knew to these new breweries as they opened, and thought to myself, someone should really have a microbrewery tour here, much like the winery tours out in California. Why not a beer tour, right here in New Hampshire?" Adams said, noting the rich brewing history and thriving microbrewing culture in the area.
Instead of waiting for someone else to come along and start up all the fun, he decided to just do it himself, with a 14-person bus and an old friend.
His Beer Bus partner, Mark Chag, Jr., said, "We're not promoting a lot of drinking. It's beer sampling and tastings. We don't want to give the impression that we're a frat house on wheels."
Brewery tours
David and Mark have two general tours planned for now. Each costs $55. The "Saturday Beer Run" is about four and a half hours long and hits the Sea Hagg Distillery (rum) and Throwback Brewery, both in North Hampton; Blue Lobster Brewing in Hampton; and Earth Eagle Brewings, in Portsmouth.
The "Sunday Driver" tour is slightly shorter and stops include Earth Eagle Brewings, Blue Lobster Brewing, Sea Hagg Distillery and Top Shelf Brews, in Hampton.
Both tours meet at the Community Oven, at 845 Lafayette Road, in Hampton. Saturday's begins at 11 a.m. and Sunday's at 11:30 a.m. A word of note: eat a hearty breakfast as they aren't stopping for lunch. The Community Oven, recognizing they'll be ready for some good food and possibly more beer, will reserve a table for those wanting a meal after the tour.
And for any specialty groups — bachelor/bachelorette parties, private or corporate functions, birthday parties, larger groups of beer lovers or the like — customized tours are available as well.
In case you were concerned, neither Mark, nor David have any alcohol during the tour and alcohol consumption isn't allowed on the bus. They do, however, have coolers to keep your beer cold during the tour, as well as complimentary water and locally made pretzels.
Two lifelong friends
"I'm not a beer expert and Mark's not a beer expert," Adams added. "We just like beer."
"And we take them to the experts," Chag said.
That's not to say that this is their first round, so to speak. The two lifelong friends have been passionate about beer for a long time. Chag, in fact, leads the tour, highlighting the area's rich and foamy brewing history between stops. David drives the bus.
All of the breweries with whom they're working were enthusiastic from the get-go, Adams noted, but the scheduling is really what made the whole endeavor possible.
"We get one-on-one time with the brewers. You can talk to the guy making the beer, Adams said, noting that often that's not the case with regular brewery tours. "These people work long hours, too and we didn't want to add to their burden."
Both men are adamant that "local" is at the heart of their business philosophies. They say their new venture is a way to help local businesses and share what they love.
"In my humble opinion, the beer at these places is fabulous," Adams said.
Adams and Chag plan on having additional partners soon, including industry-related organizations and other local businesses.
"The bottom line is to get the wheels rolling," said Chag.

Some local beer history
Beer brewing in the Granite State can be traced back to its very inception almost 400 years ago, when local taverns brewed beer and ale for patrons, and later served as meeting places for early American Revolutionaries. Portsmouth has had a long history of beer brewing achievements, from its claim as the king of brewing for the entire country — perhaps even the world — in the late 1800s, to the current rise of many renowned, fine craft-beer breweries along the seacoast today.
Portsmouth's long and colorful history has been intertwined with beer-making almost since its very inception. Dating back as far as 1715, the city was granted the rights to have six taverns serving the town when all other municipalities in New Hampshire were strictly limited to only three. Then, of course, there is the legendary Frank Jones who was once the largest ale-maker in the nation, and whose lasting footprints can still be seen today throughout the city.

Game piracy activity vs. metacritic scoreDrachen, Anders; Bauer, Kevin; Veitch, Robert W. D. (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The practice of illegally copying and distributing digital games is at the heart of one of the most heated and divisive debates in the international games environment, with stakeholders typically viewing it as a very positive (pirates) or very negative (the industry, policy makers). Despite the substantial interest in game piracy, there is very little objective information available about its magnitude or its distribution across game titles and game genres. This paper presents a large-scale analysis of the illegal distribution of digital game titles, which was conducted by monitoring the BitTorrent peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing protocol. The sample includes 173 games and a collection period of three months from late 2010 to early 2011. A total of 12.6 million unique peers were identified, making this the largest examination of game piracy via P2P networks to date. The ten most pirated titles encompass 5.27 million aggregated unique peers alone. In addition to genre, review scores were found to be positively correlated with the logarithm of the number of unique peers per game (p<0.05). URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8501

There are plenty of high-tech ideas to tackle pollution, but recent research suggests that some of the biggest gains in keeping our waterways clean could come from a more traditional technology - fences. Simply fencing off streams and drainage ditches so farm animals can't deposit manure in and around them could cut levels of faecal pollution dramatically, according to scientists.
Simply fencing off streams and drainage ditches so farm animals can't deposit manure in and around them could cut levels of faecal pollution dramatically, according to scientists. This would protect the health of people exposed to river water and help Britain comply with EU rules on water quality.
The researchers created a model of the various factors that lead to faecal pollution – and the harmful bacteria it contains – in rivers. They then used the model to work out how effective different methods aimed at cutting faecal pollution would be, using the Humber river basin as a case study.
Fencing off streams came out ahead by a big margin – the model suggests that by the time water flows out of a region of intensive dairy farming, its E. coli concentrations would be 58.59 per cent lower with fenced streams than without. As well as keeping animals away, the fences encourage the development of an overgrown riverbank zone which can help filter out faecal matter that's washed off fields.
This is just one of several possible ways to address the problem. 'But animals having direct access to the water seems to be one of the major risks,' says Danyel Hampson, a PhD student at the University of East Anglia and lead author of the paper, published in Water Research. 'The simple solution of fencing off cattle from rivers is probably one of the most effective ways farmers have of reducing faecal matter contaminating watercourses. From the farmer's point of view, it is a solution that they can get on and do.'

SALISBURY, Md. – Sea Gull Stadium's first overtime football game in five years was a classic as No. 13 Salisbury University defeated No. 15 Kean University, 49-47, in an NCAA tournament second round contest before 1,192 on Saturday afternoon. With the victory, Salisbury punches its ticket into the NCAA quarterfinals, where the Sea Gulls will be making their first appearance since advancing to the 1986 national championship game.
After trading points through the first two overtime periods, Salisbury (11-1) opened the third extra session with a 2-yard touchdown run by senior superback Randal Smedley. By rule, needing to go for two points, junior slot Ross Flanigan took the ball to the right pylon and leaped over a Kean defender to give SU an eight-point lead, 49-41. The SU defense looked as if it may hold Kean (10-2) on the ensuing possession but Cougar quarterback Tom D'Ambrisi hit Chris Suozzo for a 27-yard touchdown on fourth down to bring the game to within two points.
D'Ambrisi's pass on the two-point conversion sailed just over the head of T.J. Denehy to seal the victory and keep Salisbury's hopes for its first NCAA championship alive. The win gives SU a berth into the next round, where they will square off with the reigning Division III national champion, No. 1 University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.
Salisbury and Kean locked up in a thrilling affair with four lead changes, 46 first downs and 983 yards of offense. SU scored on its opening possession as the Sea Gulls used a 14-yard touchdown scamper by Smedley to take a 7-0 lead six minutes in. Kean knotted the game up at 7-7 on its next drive with a 4-yard touchdown run by D'Ambrisi.
The Sea Gulls made a push at breaking the game open when junior quarterback Dan Griffin scored on a 1-yard run to conclude the next drive and senior slot Tyler Curley bulled in from 4 yards out, for a 21-7 lead. The SU defense was fantastic over the next quarter, as well. The Sea Gulls had several important stops, including an interception by sophomore defensive back Andre Carter that ended a Cougar drive deep in Sea Gull territory. The interception was the first of the day by Carter, who also snagged another key pick midway through the third.
The second half opened with each team collecting passing touchdowns before Griffin raced in for a 27-yard touchdown at the 4:22 mark of the third. Griffin's score gave SU a two-touchdown advantage, 34-20.
The Cougars brought the game to within one score four minutes later when Darius Kinney posted the first of three touchdown runs on the day. The two defensive squads were solid over the final 15 minutes of regulation, but Kean broke through with a 2-yard touchdown run by Kinney to cap a well-orchestrated drive and send the game into overtime.
SU began the overtime with a missed field goal, which allowed Kean the opportunity to win with any kind of score. The Cougars gained minimal yardage on their first two attempts before centering the ball in the middle of the field to give Billy Daniels a straight shot at a 31-yard field goal. On the brink of elimination, the Sea Gulls stood tall as junior defensive back Brandon Lemon blocked the kick to give SU a chance at redemption.
It was all SU would need as following Smedley's second touchdown of the game on the next drive, the defense came through with its late-game heroics to thwart the Cougar rally by forcing the failed two-point conversion.
Salisbury ran for 382 yards in the victory and was led by the efforts of Smedley, who used 26 carries to run for a 206 yards and two touchdowns. Griffin was a dual threat as he posted four total touchdowns on the day. Flanigan and senior wide receiver Doug Ticse each caught touchdown passes from Griffin.
The SU defense was paced by junior defensive back Chris Everett, who posted a team-high 15 tackles (seven solo). Sophomore defensive back Greg Stanton had nine tackles and one interception while seven other Sea Gulls had six tackles. Freshman punter Kyle Hamby had four punts for 171 yards, two of which landed inside the Cougars' 20-yard line.
Kean was led offensively by D'Ambrisi, who was 15-of-26 through the air with three touchdowns and 271 yards. He also collected 57 yards on the ground with one score while Kinney finished with 61 yards and three touchdowns.
The Cougars were led on defense by Bekim Bujari, who posted a game-high 19 tackles (eight solo). Brad Higgins collected 11 tackles and forced one fumble while Brett Yajcaji had seven stops.
The Sea Gulls travel to UWW Saturday at 1 p.m. The Warhawks have won 42 consecutive games while advancing to the national championship each of the past six years.

Suppressing Feelings of Compassion Makes People Feel Less Moral
It's normal to not always act on your sense of compassion -- for example, by walking past a beggar on the street without giving them any money. Maybe you want to save your money or avoid engaging with a homeless person. But even if suppressing compassion avoids these costs, it may carry a personal cost of its own, according to a new study published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science. After people suppress compassionate feelings, an experiment shows, they lose a bit of their commitment to morality.
[emphasis mine]
It seems as if tolerating begging is effectively an assault on the public's capacity for morality. It's a complication to the moral dilemma of caring for those unable to care for themselves. Begging can be, in some cases, a form of organized crime where children a deliberately crippled to increase their effectiveness as cash cows. In other societies it's the only socially acceptable way for the disabled to survive. In times of disaster, public or private, it's the moral survival tactic of last resort, the other option being crime. I don't have any easy answers.
When people feel helpless and overwhelmed, facing the victims of war for example, this may be a mechanism by which survivors become hardened and lose their moral anchor. This fits with what Chris Hedges describes about how war changes us in War is a Force That Gives Us Meaning. He says,
War exposes the capacity for evil that lurks just below the surface within all of us.

I'd say the root of morality is ultimately self-interest. Most of us obviously follow certain moral codes because we have emotions of compassions and empathy, but there's why we have those in the first place: as social animals, it's rational and reasonable for us to figure out how to live together to the best of our abilities.
We encourage and teach compassion and kindness amongst ourselves ultimately because such desires are good for all of us, and we'd all like to live in a world of compassion and kindness. Such attitudes may seem egotistical and cynical, but that's not true: there's nothing ignoble about the rational realisation that we are part of a social fabric which binds and sustains all of us.
I enjoyed reading everyone replies. They are all wonderful. It's good to see the secular viewpoint on this.
No, sex is. Procreation is the root of all things. People don't care when there is no bump and grind.
Not everything is about sex. If what you said was true, then I shouldn't care a whip about anything, since I've had a good bit of a drought in that area. Quite wrong...
I don't reach out to others because of a sexual need; it's a social want, to connect with people on common grounds, to hold meaning through friendship and have meaning in a very clear but simple way.
That's not to say I'm asexual (though I do have a friend who is, and she'd be a bit offended, I think)--but I think in this case, sex is not the root of compassion. It may be for some, but not for many of us.
I disagree. Say what you will but survival screams louder than all others. The main goal of ANY organism is to survive, continue on, pass on the genes. Sex is way our species(as well as many others) does this. So bottom line is yes, it is all about sex. Sex=Survival; everything wants to survive. Once again, sex is the base motivating factor in all endeavours. And I'm not saying that "I won't do anything unless I get sex", I'm saying that it is the "ROOT" of morality, and all things, like the thread says, not that sex is the ONLY reason to do anything; that's a nymphomaniac.
I recently watched a documentary making a similar argument for fear of death being the primary motivating factor in humans. It is the yin to the yang of sexual desire.
I agree with you, Nerdlass. :-)
Equal to men in every way? It's been a while since I've read up on the Vikings but I'm fairly sure women were excluded from political life and more or less under the authority of their husband or father; depending on the precise point we're looking at that might have been marginally better than their Southern counter-parts, but not by much.
Pagan religions had God's and Goddesses because their deities reflected all the aspects of their daily life: some of these were associated with males and others with females. The idea that because they had more Goddesses, women were more likely to be regarded as equal, is to project democratic ideas on ancient religions: they didn't see it that way.
If you look at other pagan societies like the Romans, the Greeks, the Aztecs and many others, you'll find that they are rigidly patriarchal despite their seemingly egalitarian Pantheon.
Be careful with letting modern preconceptions colour the way you view history ;)
Kind regards,
Exactly right. The superstitious not only try to dehumanize atheists but try to deny that the emotional traits we share with other mammals exist, calling it instinct in other species, god-given morality in H. sapiens.
There was a piece In the New York Times that described the Great Divide in American society as being between valuing the sacred and valuing the compassionate. True enough, faith-based thinking gives cover for cruelty in all its forms.
While no southern European would have named his daughter Erica Eriksdotter, nevertheless, the mother was ignored. Yes, marginally less sexist but no cigar.
I have always contended, when confronted by the statement " you're an atheist, you can't have morals because morals come from god" in the following manner. All holy books were written by man. Not by some diety who inspired/revealed them. Since they were writen by man, the moral precepts that we all hold come from man. I believe that the nature of humans, being social creatures, is where morality/ethics rose from. We were just trying to get along, and codified the things that seemed to work (mostly worked) so we could have a rational discourse and not immediately grab for the rock, or club, or spear. It doesn't always work, as we well know. But we do keep evolving (societally) and trying. Yes, we are a violent species, but say to yourself, today, I will not react in a violent manner. Just for today. When tomorrow comes, repeat for that day, and so on. Morality will grow stronger for that, I believe.
Is it really compassion to give money to the homeless begging on the street? You are probably contributing to the cycle of poverty that keeps people very poor and homeless. It saddens me to see people that way, but the fact is, most homeless need the kind of help that a single person cannot give. PSychiatric health, physical health care all the things that help with treatment and care. Serious compassion must come from groups of people willing to put in the work for people on the street. If there was an accident and you were first on the scene, your first human response would be to help immediately but if someone is injured badly you don't do something that could jeopardize their condition out of compassion, you call 911 and wait for paramedics.
Compassion and morality are built into the human character and reflected in our group behavior, the paramedics for example, the hospital that can't turn indigents away. THe big brothers and big sisters. Librarians for one, who organize knowledge so that it can be accessed by as many people as possible. Food drives, clothes drives, people who teach remedial math and literature at little or no cost so that MAYBE they can make a difference in the future of humankind. THis is compassion, but its focused in a way that trys to address the complexity of suffering. Acknowledging that you don't know what to do about the homeless problem is a good start to realizing that no amount of spare change will make any difference. and really, that emotion that you are satisfying by giving change is called pity, not compassion. You pity a person and then give them a token to make yourself feel better, and really to give yourself a heightened sense of superiority. Compassion and morality are duties and the satisfaction you get is about the same as you might get from cleaning a bathroom. It's work. A job that humans can't quit because it's a survival mechanism. And even in war, there are medics that will be on the front line to care for the wounded. War is as old as time and a necessary part of existence, and even in the ugliest of our nature, compassion exists. You have to know where to look.
I would also say that morality is on the incline compared to history Slavery is a crime around the entire world, , more groups of people are claiming the same standards of justice that only an elite few were privileged with just decades before. If you don't believe me look at how many international committees there are, then look at how many there were before the nation state. Theres an international committee of chess players, and they help keep a level of standards in chess to be applied across the globe, almost all IC's are dedicated to maintaining peace so that they can do what they exist to do. There's International post office committees making sure we can correspond over seas. Medical, waste, you name it. all of these agencies have people actively working to improve the relationships of our species because they recognize how important it is to act out of compassion and community because its beneficial to our survival. That's compassion, a well thought out group effort united in a common goal.
This is a fascinating post. Thank you for bringing it up. I think you have hit one of the issues that makes morality much more complex than most people are willing to admit.
Personally, at risk of oversimplifying, I think that empathy is the root of morality, and I think that compassion emerges from empathy. When I reflected on how I respond to begging, I thought about some of the factors that come into play, including whether or not I believe the beggar. I also find myself in a sort of gridlock about equity. I can't possibly help everyone in need, so I have to decide whether to help the person in front of me. If I decide not to, does that equate to a lack of compassion for that person, or a determination that my resources can help more somewhere else?
I can genuinely say that I have felt great compassion for people but have chosen for various reasons to not give them money. The question of whether or not these were moral decisions is a difficult one.

PENSACOLA, Fla. – The No. 9 Georgia College golf team took second Tuesday at the Argonaut Invitational, falling just three strokes behind host No. 5 University of West Florida. The Bobcats finished at 13-over par for three rounds after a final-round 292.
Senior Billy Shida (Berkeley Lakes, Ga.) saved his best round for last, carding a 66 to leap from 23rd to finish third. Shida was one of five golfers to finish under par for the tournament at the par-72, 6,815-yard Pensacola Country Club course. Shida had rounds of 75 and 74 yesterday.
Classmate Joe Young (Cochran, Ga.) finished sixth, following yesterday's 73 and 70 with a 74 today. He finished one-over. Senior Matthew Yonz (Waycross, Ga.) gave GC three golfers in the top-20 by taking 19th. Yonz carded rounds of 76-72-76 for eight over.
Sophomore Patrick Garrett (Kennesaw, Ga.) finished 25th, adding today's 76 to yesterday's 78 and 71 for nine over par. In his first career start, Bayley Craig (Eatonton, Ga.) was 53rd with rounds of 74, 80 and 78.
UWF edged GC by three, but the Bobcats were tops among the three other Peach Belt Conference (PBC) schools in the tournament. No. 25 USC Aiken was third, Georgia Southwestern State University was eighth, and the University of Montevallo took 13th.
The individual title was won by the University of North Alabama's Jace Windom, edging the field and Belmont Abbey College's Adam Hedges by a single stroke.
The Bobcats are back in action Monday March 14 at the First Federal Southeastern Collegiate, hosted by Valdosta State University.

My guy complains about my prickly legs, but I don't like to wax. Any Ideas?
For a superclose shave, stick with a four- or fiveblade razor. Then keep regrowth from feeling coarse and cactuslike by applying a thick cream right after showering (skip waterbased lotions, which can evaporate and leave your hair dry). Try Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant, $16.

Severn Cullis-Suzuki (born 1979) is an environmental activist, speaker, television host and author. She has spoken around the world about environmental issues, urging listeners to define their values, act with the future in mind, and take individual responsibility.[1]
In 1992, at the age of 12, Cullis-Suzuki raised money with members of ECO, the Environmental Children Organization (a group she founded) to attend the Earth Summit in Rio De Janeiro. Along with group members Michelle Quigg, Vanessa Suttie, and Morgan Geisler, Severn presented environmental issues from a youth perspective at the Summit, where she received a standing ovation for a speech to the delegates.[2][3] The group also addressed delegates at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED). Here you can find the original speech transcript in English.
The young can't wait is an article she wrote for Time magazine. in 2002. In that article she wrote:
But in the 10 years since Rio, I have learned that addressing our leaders is not enough. As Gandhi said many years ago, "We must become the change we want to see." I know change is possible, because I am changing, still figuring out what I think. I am still deciding how to live my life. The challenges are great, but if we accept individual responsibility and make sustainable choices, we will rise to the challenges, and we will become part of the positive tide of change.
Here you can see a photo story where you can read and listen about more people like Severn who have fought for saving the world of making it a better place for everybody to live in peace and harmony.
Now, what do you think about what Severn said that day back in 1992? is is still something we have to worry about?

As part of National Tsunami Awareness & Preparedness Week, Santa Cruz is trying to get people ready in case another, bigger tsunami hits the city. The Office of Emergency Services will hold a community meeting Monday night to talk about how business and home owners can be prepared.
A Research Geophysicist from UC Santa Cruz will talk about what kind of tsunamis can hit the area. There will also be someone from the California Geological Survey on site.
Tonight's meeting will be at the Santa Cruz Police Department from 7 to 9 p.m.
Officials list the damage estimate at more than $26 million after a series of tsunamis hit the harbor knocking boats and docks off their moorings the day after the 8.9 earthquake hit Japan.
More than 100 boats received damage ranging from broken masts and dings to total destruction from the tsunami. The harbor is still not completely open.

BALTIMORE – UMBC softball exploded for 10 runs in a shutout five-inning victory against Saint Peter's in its opening game of the day, but was unable to carry its hard-hitting offense into the UMBC Spring Classic finale, falling to Mount St. Mary's, 5-0, on Sunday afternoon at UMBC Softball Stadium.
It was all Retrievers (19-9) in the day's second game, as the black and gold were able to avenge yesterday's 4-2 loss to the Peacocks, with UMBC starting pitcher Nicole Casagrand (Horsham Pa./Hatboro-Horsham) picking up her first collegiate shutout. UMBC posted all 10 of its runs in the third and fourth innings, including a seven-run fourth.
A pair of lead-off walks and a rocket up the middle from sophomore Bridget O'Malley (Brooklyn, Md./Seton Keough) loaded the bases for the Retrievers in the bottom of the third inning. A Taylor Hall (Cosby, Va./Cosby) walk scored the first run of the frame, while freshmen Kaelin Jackson (Export, Pa./Franklin Regional) and Jaclyn Buckley (Voorhees, N.J./Eastern Camden Regional) each chipped in an RBI to put UMBC out in front, 3-0.
A two-out solo home run in the bottom of the fourth from sophomore Danielle O'Neill (Lothian, Md./Southern) started a seven-run inning for the Retrievers. The SPU pitching staff helped UMBC in the frame, walking and hitting a combined five batters, while the Retrievers added four timely hits to take a 10-0 advantage.
Casagrand faced 19 batters in the five innings and allowed two hits and one walk in the win. Tori Feorenzo suffered the loss, allowing three earned runs on two hits in two innings. Crystal Carlucci surrendered seven runs on five hits in 1.2 innings of relief work.
O'Neill reached base safely in all four of her plate appearances and was one of three Retrievers to finish the contest with two hits, including O'Malley and Buckley. Buckley finished with a game-high three runs batted in.
Errors plagued the Retrievers in the finale, with all five of the Mount's runs being unearned. An UMBC miscue in the opening inning allowed a single up the middle from Holly Buckel to put Mount St. Mary's on top 1-0.
Starting pitcher Jessica Holte (Ashland, Va./Atlee) and the Retrievers were able to escape a jam untouched in the top of the fourth inning, as the Mount failed to add to a 1-0 lead, despite loading the bases with one out. In the bottom half of the frame, UMBC found itself with a runner on third after a lead-off single, passed ball and ground out, but the Retrievers were unable to capitalize as starting pitcher Nicole Pagano registered one of her 10 strikeouts in the contest.
A lead-off error in the top of the sixth inning proved to be costly for the Retrievers, as the Mount distanced themselves with two more runs, each scoring on a single from catcher Rachel Heinze. Mount St. Mary's added two more insurance runs in the top of the seventh inning.
Holte fell to 11-3 on the season, while Pagano moved to 8-5.
UMBC's game against George Washington has been moved from Tuesday, March 25 to Thursday, March 27. First pitch is set for 3 p.m. at GW Softball Field.

Tablet Wars: Amazon Refreshes Kindles

The recently restarted Large Hadron Collider has become the world's most powerful particle accelerator, after setting a new record for beam intensity.
Scientists working at the particle collider successfully accelerated a beam of protons up to 1.18 tera-electron-volts (TeV) late on Sunday night, beating the previous record of 0.98 TeV, Cern has announced. In the early hours of Monday morning, both the clockwise and the anticlockwise beams were accelerated to 1.18 TeV, giving the protons a speed of approximately 0.9997 times the speed of light.
The previous record for beam intensity was 0.98 TeV, held by the Tevatron at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory near Chicago since 2001.
"Last night's achievement brings further confirmation that the LHC is progressing smoothly towards the objective of first physics early in 2010," Cern said in a statement on Monday.
The mission of the LHC, deep underground in a 27km circuit that crosses the French-Swiss border, is to smash together particles in the hope of making discoveries about the fundamental nature of matter. When collided together, protons at this speed annihiliate in a burst of energy and other particles; the higher the speed, the more exotic the results.
The first beams were injected into the LHC on 20 November, when it restarted after being out of operation for more than a year while Cern repaired damage caused by a helium leak. The particle accelerator performed its first collisions on 23 November.
A Cern spokesperson said on Monday that no fresh collisions had been observed at the higher beam intensity of 1.18 TeV. "[The aim] was just to increase the beam intensity," the spokesperson told ZDNet UK.
Cern director general Rolf Heuer said in the statement on Monday that while progress since the restart had been good, he was still cautious about prospects of taking the beam to 3.5 TeV in the new year.
"We are still coming to terms with just how smoothly the LHC commissioning is going," said Heuer. "It is fantastic. However, we are continuing to take it step by step, and there is still a lot to do before we start physics in 2010. I'm keeping my champagne on ice until then."
The beam intensity will be gradually increased up until Christmas, while the first new physics experiments will be performed in the first quarter of 2010.

Speaker two was an improvement. Tim Sullivan had a balanced message about Ancestry.com, recognizing the shortfalls of some pedigrees submitted to the website, as well as admitting that the presence of these family trees is a valuable lesson in genealogy for all who use the website. He also made several breaking announcements you can hear in the archived version of the video. I won't rehash his entire talk here, since you can see it for yourself, but the main announcements were a new iOS app 4.1 for Ancestry on iPhone and iPad devices (he explained that 1/3 of users now arrive at the website via mobile devices), $99 DNA tests, $100 million to digitize documents over the next four years, and a collaboration with FamilySearch to digitize 140 million US Probate records. It was a great message, and the perfect place to break the great news to the genealogy community.

All the principles are in place for "Sherlock Holmes 2" now that Jarred Harris has been cast as Professor Moriarty, the great detective's arch nemesis.
A-list stars like Daniel Day-Lewis, Javier Bardem and Brad Pitt had been rumored to be possibilities for the role before Harris was cast, news of which was broken by Latino Review.
Harris, son of the great Richard Harris, has played Lane Pryce on the last two seasons of "Mad Men" and is a fine actor in his own respect. Whille he lacks the star power of the other names mentioned, his manner and bearing are a perfect fit for the hyper-intellectual British criminal mastermind whom Holmes has called the "Napolean of Crime."
The casting of Moriarty comes hot on the heels of news that Stephen Fry will be playing Homes' older brother Mycroft. Earlier this year Noomi Rapace was announced to be starring as well in an unspecified role.
In addition to "SH2," Harris was also just cast in the remake of "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy," alongside Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman, Mark Strong, Ciaran Hands and Colin Firth.

Difference between revisions of "Grand old hotels"
Revision as of 18:49, 8 January 2012
This article is a travel topic
In many cities, there is an interesting old hotel, something to remind you of the days when travel meant long journeys by rail or sea, a place where the rich and the famous of its day would stay. Nearly all of these were built before the Second World War, and many date back to Queen Victoria's reign.
Staying in such places is usually not cheap, though it may be cheaper than a more modern high-end hotel. Nor are they necessarily the most luxurious option; the modern high-end places may be even better. However, the grand old hotels are usually very central and they do have an appeal all their own; the old fashioned fittings, the lack of the latest amenities and a certain graceful agedness are often part of their character.
Of course, you need not stay in such hotels to enjoy some of their services. For example, a visitor to Singapore might just go to Raffles for a Singapore Sling at the Long Bar where Rudyard Kipling and Noel Coward once drank, and check out the Billiard Room where Singapore's last tiger was shot.
A traveler with piles of money might consider a round the world flight staying in many of these hotels.
South Africa
East Asia
Middle East
South Asia
Southeast Asia
Many of Southeast Asia's grand old hotels can be credited to a single family, the remarkable Sarkies brothers from Armenia, who founded all of the following icons:
Of course, there are some other very classy options as well:
Northern Europe
West Europe
Central Europe
South Europe
Eastern Europe
North America
United States
There is a program called [Historic Hotels of America] with 200-odd hotels involved.
The grand old hotels in Canada have a unique place in Canadian history. Most of them were built during first quarter of the 20th century by the Canadian Pacific Railway or Grand Trunk Railway in order to provide elegant accommodation while viewing the natural beauty along the rail line. Later, the railway sold them to international chains, mainly Fairmont.
These hotels are popular with tourists and locals alike and though overnight stays are expensive, they represent a fine piece of Canadiana worth visiting even if you only have time for a walk through the lobby. Two - Banff and Lake Louise - are major tourist resorts in their own right, located amid stunning Rocky Mountain scenery.

As food trucks grow in popularity and start motoring into more and more parts of our city, there are bound to be some growing pains associated with them. The Nob Hill Neighborhood Association will be discussing some food truck related issues at their meeting tonight at 6:30 p.m. at Build New Mexico (122 Tulane).
In particular, some members of the Association are concerned that food trucks have been blocking usage of brick and mortar businesses and clogging up public parking. They'd like to see the area's zoning changed so that trucks are relegated to setting up shop outside of parking lots and away from storefronts. Others believe that the mobile restaurants make the area more pedestrian friendly and vibrant overall and shouldn't be restricted.
If you've got an opinion on this issue, consider stopping by the meeting and voicing your concerns. You can also email the Nob Hill Main Street Board at nobhillabqmainstreet
We at the Alibi will be following this issue as well, so check back for updates in the near future.

Directly underneath the two handed gestures in the Gesture Editor are some two handed modifier rows:
Lower Row
Spacebar Row
etc etc
Does anyone know what these do? When I use them, they dont work and only activate the two handed tap gestures.
Is this because I already have two handed tap gestures set?
The single handed modifier rows work ie alt, ctrl etc but not two handed?

Since the specific space $\mathbb{R}^k$ is given, this might be provable in ZF.
Let $\{F_n\}_{n\in \omega}$ be a family of closed subset of $\mathbb{R}^k$, of which the union is $\mathbb{R}^k$.
Suppose $\forall n\in \omega, {F_n}^o=\emptyset$ ($o$ denotes interior)
Fix $x_0 \in \mathbb{R}^k$ Then by assumption, $\forall 0<r\in \mathbb{R}$, there exists $y\in \mathbb{R}^k$ such that $y\in B(r,x_0)\setminus (F_n \cup \{x_0\})$ for every $n\in \omega$.
I tried to show that for every $r$, there exists $y\in \mathbb{Q}^k$ that satisfies the condition. (Once the existence is guaranteed, since $\mathbb{Q}^k$ can be well-ordered lexicographically, $y$ can be chosen uniquely, hence recursion theorem would be appliable)
But i couldn't. Is there any way to show this?
If it is true, let $y_0 \in B(r,x)\setminus (F_0 \cup \{x_0\})$ and $y_{n+1} \in B(d(y_n,x_0),x_0) \setminus (F_{n+1} \cup \{x_0\})$.
Then, $\forall n\in \omega$, $B(d(y_n,x_0),x_0) \setminus (F_{n+1} \cup \{x_0\})$ is nonempty.
Here, again, i don't know how to show that 'there exists $y\in \mathbb{R}^k$ such that $y\notin \bigcup_{n\in \omega} F_n$.
Please help.
If my argument is wrong, please give me a proper proof.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—Katelin Wahl and Paige Haley scored goals less than four minutes apart to lift the Harvard field hockey team to a 2-1, come-from-behind win against Bryant Sunday afternoon at Jordan Field.
Cynthia Tassopoulos made five saves to backstop the Crimson (4-3) to its second win of the weekend and its third home victory in as many tries this season. Harvard outshot Bryant, 16-9, while the Bulldogs (4-5) held a 7-5 advantage in penalty corners. Jennifer Gullotti recorded four saves for Bryant.
Neither team found the net in the first half, as Harvard held an 8-4 edge in shots. The Crimson got good scoring chances when Emma Keller forced two stops by Gullotti with about 13 minutes left in the half and Bridget McGillivray put a hard shot on goal from the right side about four minutes later. Bryant's best opportunity came on a hard shot by Rosie Bird following a penalty corner. The Bulldogs' MaKayla Hancock also had a defensive save to keep Harvard off the board.
The Bulldogs got on the board first, off a penalty corner about six minutes into the second half. Olivia Jankins sent in a hard, low shot that Courtney Landi redirected into the top of the cage. The lead was short-lived. Two minutes later, Dickson carried the ball deep on the right side and fed Wahl in front for the first-touch finish.
The winning goal came before another four minutes had elapsed. Mariah Pewarski sent a long ball down the right sideline to transition Harvard from defense to offense. Sydney Jenkins collected the ball, sprinted forward and sent a hard pass across the circle. Noel Painter deflected it toward the left post, and Haley got a second redirection on it for the winning goal.
Haley's goal was the first of her collegiate career. Four different players have scored Harvard's four game-winning goals this season, and six different scorers accounted for the Crimson's six weekend goals in Sunday's win and Saturday's 4-1 defeat of Penn.

Reviewing an operating system is an odd endeavor, because people don't really use operating systems; they use applications. The OS should be as transparent as possible, acting as a platform for applications. In today's cloud-driven world, however, the notion that your application will run in a single OS is tenuous at best. Toss in the increasing use of smart devices, whether phones or tablets, and the idea of a single-platform operating system is less relevant now than it was just a few years ago. These days we have "ecosystems"--Microsoft, Apple, or Google, take your pick.
That said, PC users still expect their Windows applications to run as before, and they want to have the same control over their laptop and desktop computers as they've always had. New software features should enable users to do more. And as the reaction to the late, unlamented Windows Vista illustrated, all the shiny new bells and whistles should not harm performance or require new hardware.
Can Windows 8 meet its goal of being one aspect of a new Microsoft ecosystem while maintaining its roots in the PC? Can existing computers run Windows 8 without the need for expensive new touch displays? Will the revamped Windows 8 user interface turn off existing Windows users or pull them into the ecosystem? I'll try to answer those questions and others as I dive deeply into Windows 8.
This review is based on the Windows 8 final release - what Microsoft calls the "release to manufacturing," or RTM, version. The final release is available to Microsoft TechNet and MSDN subscribers. Desktop PCs, laptops, and tablets ship with Windows 8 preinstalled on the official launch day, Thursday 26 October.
We ran Windows 8 on a moderately high-end desktop system along with a standard (nontouch) monitor, mouse, and keyboard. We also used a Samsung Series 9 laptop with an Elan touchpad supporting full multitouch gestures.
The Windows 8 user interface
Windows 8 tries to get you to tie your Windows login to your Microsoft account; it's optional, but if you do link the two, the Windows login and password serve as your Microsoft account login and password. Enabling this link allows tighter integration with the remote and cloud-based features of the new OS.
As mentioned previously, Windows 8 is designed to be part of an ecosystem, alongside Windows Phone and Windows RT. Microsoft believes in this idea so strongly that it has made the Windows 8 user interface (formerly called Metro) the primary interface for Windows users. PCs with the new OS installed will boot into the Windows 8 interface; the OS offers no built-in way to set it to boot to the traditional Windows desktop.
The Windows 8 interface acts as the Start menu now. Instead of appearing as columns of small icons that pop up when you click the Start button, all your applications show up as tiles on the Windows 8 Start screen. You can also search for an application by typing its name when you're in the Start screen; the results list autosorts as you type more characters.
It's important to realize that the Start screen is no more Windows 8 than the Start menu was Windows 7 or Windows XP. The screen exists as a launchpad for applications, not as a desktop replacement. That concept is easy to forget, since the Start screen occupies the entire display. Even so, Windows 8 apps consume the entire screen, whereas desktop applications can still run in a window on the desktop.
However, not all desktop applications appear on the Start screen by default. Some accessory apps, such as Paint, live in the Apps screen. You can force these programs to appear in the Start screen by right-clicking them to select them and then clicking Pin to Start at the bottom of the screen. Nevertheless, getting to the Apps screen is simple: Right-click a blank area in the Start screen and then click the All apps icon at the lower right.

The sculptor John Cassidy (1860-1939) came from a farming background, and was born and grew up in County Meath, Ireland. In about 1880, he left to work in Dublin, where he developed his artistic talents by studying at Art School in the evenings. He then moved to Manchester, and entered the Manchester School of Art in 1883, becoming an assistant teacher there in 1887. Eventually he became Hon. Treasurer of the Manchester Academy of Fine Arts. Best known for his life-size portrait sculptures of local worthies, he had some notable patrons, including Enriqueta Rylands, the widow of the wealthy textile magnate John Rylands. After the World War I, Cassidy was much in demand for war memorials. He is also remembered for busts, architectural sculpture, some larger allegorical pieces, and the dolphin and winged creatures adorning Thomas Worthington's fountain in Albert Square, Manchester.
In talking about the civic statues of this area of Lancashire, Benedict Read categorises Cassidy with Charles Bell Birch and Albert Bruce-Joy as exhibiting "less inspired competence" than their better-known peers, Hamo Thornycroft and George Frampton (364). Nevertheless, he was an important contributor to the civic art of the time in this part of the country and indeed of England. In Manchester itself, for example, his Adrift, more fully described as "representing Humanity adrift in the sea of life ... was the first outdoor, non-portrait example of the new sculpture to be acquired by the city" (Hartwell 189). Elsewhere, he was responsible (for example) for Bristol's well-known statue of Edward Colston (1636-1721), the city's great benefactor (Merritt 30-31), and, nearer home, a fine war memorial in Stourbridge in the West Midlands (see Noszlopy and Waterhouse 153). — Jacqueline Banerjee
