Jupsat Pro Astronomy Software
Robert Parker took his early education at local primary and secondary schools. It was in fourth grade that he says he first developed ''a determined desire'' to become an astronomer - long before there were any thoughts of a space programme. ''Astronauts were no more than a Flash Gordon movie then,'' he later reflected. His graduation from Shrewsbury's Beal High School took place on 16 June 1954.
Parker then continued his combined studies in astronomy and physics at Amherst College, where he also did some laboratory teaching in his junior and senior years, and became a member of Phi Beta Kappa. Among his college honours and scholarships, he achieved the distinction of Magna Cum Laude when graduating with his Bachelor of Arts degree in astronomy and physics on 8 June 1958, joining his grandfather on the alumni roll.21
His interest in science, and astrophysics in particular, certainly seemed to have its origins in being part of a science-oriented family. His father Allan was chairman of the physics department at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, while his twin brother Peter taught physics at Yale. His younger brother, Allan Jr. (born in 1938), became a computer systems analyst in Boston.
Six days after graduating, Bob Parker married Joan Audrey Capers, a registered nurse from Waynesville, Pennsylvania, whom he had first met when they were both seniors in high school. They would have two children; Kimberly Ellen, born on 7 February 1962, and Brian David Capers Parker, born on 8 March 1964. He and Joan would eventually divorce in 1980 and Parker later married again, this time to Judy Woodruff of San Marino, California, who already had three children by a previous marriage.
After receiving his undergraduate degree from Amherst College, Parker continued his chosen career path in science by attending the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. At CalTech, he achieved many deserved distinctions, including: Woodrow Wilson Fellow 1958-9; Danforth Fellow 1958-62; Graduate Teaching Assistant 1959-60; National Science Foundation (NSF) Cooperative Fellow 1960-1 and 1961-2; Woodrow Wilson Summer Fellowship 1961; and NSF Summer
Fellowship 1962. In 1960, on an NSF travel grant, he also attended the NUFFIC (Netherlands Organisation for International Cooperation in Higher Education) Summer Institute on Galactic Structure, held at Breukelen, near Utrecht in the Netherlands.
He received his Doctorate in astronomy from CalTech on 7 June 1963. His PhD dissertation, under the guidance of Professor Guido Munch, was entitled Physical Conditions in Some Possible Supernova Remnants.
From 1962 to 1963, Parker was an NSF post-doctoral fellow on the Madison campus of the acclaimed University of Wisconsin. He became an assistant professor of astronomy on the university's Badger faculty from October 1963 to 1967, and taught the introductory course in astronomy for non-majors, as well as other courses, including those at the graduate level. Quite often, more than two hundred students would attend his lecture sections.
Parker was also on the subcommittee of the Student Life and Interest Committee (SLIC), and for recreation on campus joined a group of faculty members working out at the old Armory Gym. He also ran two miles on the university track every other day.
For relaxation at the family home on Tomahawk Trail, he enjoyed nothing more than the simple pleasures of gardening. He also took great pride in building a stereo unit for his family, and loved tinkering under the bonnet of an old Triumph sports car he'd bought soon after he and Joan were married. Fond of many outdoor activities, he especially enjoyed ice-skating on Madison's frozen lakes in winter, and had once camped and hiked in the majestic Rockies.
By 1964, Parker was a full-time staff member of Washburn Observatory on the Madison campus, and that year he became a supervisor of Washburn's major research facility, in charge of the day-to-day operation of their country observatory at Pine Bluff - the chief research facility for university astronomers. Here, and up to the time of his astronaut selection, Parker became engaged in advanced astronomical research, specialising in interstellar matter - phenomena lying between the stars such as supernova and nova remnants, dust clouds, extragalactic H II regions, neutral hydrogen clouds, and planetary nebulae.

The Foxy Five: A Quest for Safety and Going Home
The Foxy Five web series premiered June 19, 2016. Jabu Newman, the show's creator, enlisted a cast of womxn of color to act out the story. The cast includes Qiniso Van Damme, Qondiswa James, Duduza Mchunu, Tatenda Wekwatenzi, and Nala Xaba.
The show has since garnered media attention across the country. In fact, it came to my attention by way of a former colleague at LiveMag. I have watched avidly ever since, even participating in one of their fundraisers. The Foxy Five forced its viewers to engage with parts of our struggle movements that were not always so pleasant.
Searching for safety
To sum up the series in one word, the term "safety" comes to mind. The overarching theme of seeking a safer existence for womxn is clear from the first episode. The characters band together, marching at UCT, then later rendezvous at their headquarters to discuss their agenda. The topic of "safe space" comes up almost immediately. The term intends to describe a place devoid of discrimination, harassment, emotional or physical abuse. In such a place individuals are meant to feel confident in their ability to be there and feel safe.
The Foxy Five took to the streets to display their outrage over catcalling and sexual harassment. As is a common story for womxn, "the streets aren't safe." The band of womxn took to refining the types of people allowed into their home space. These are just a few examples of the safety seeking throughout the first season.
An unsafe body
Prolly Plebs and Womxn We had the most challenging time seeking safety, in my opinion. Both struggled with finding safety in their skin and minds. For Prolly Plebs, played by Qiniso Van Damme, the question of identity became too great when the audience was introduced to her sister. Prolly spent most of episode five battling with the details of her bloodline: her complexion, accent, hair, and gender identity. The issue of what one identifies as can drive anyone to seemingly irrational behavior when on the path to self discovery.
Womxn We's issue was the lack of safety in her mind, caused by her battle with anxiety. Throughout the series, we watched her battle with trying to complete her studies and balance herself as she adjusted to her medication. Some of the self confidence that we saw in other characters, Womxn We, played by Nala Xaba, never seemed to have herself fully collected, though her intellectualism made it seem otherwise.
The importance of going back home
This year I moved back home. It's no secret that 2016 was a rocky year. I found a therapist in Claremont. Though I haven't been as regular as I should about going, it gives me hope that I'll get to where I'm supposed to by confronting my mental health in the first place.
Unity Bond, played by Duduza Mchunu, leads the struggle song "Siyaya" in a car with the rest of The Foxy Five. I remember my first time watching the final scene and heaving. "Kubi, kubi, kubi…siyaya…noba besidubula…siyaya…besibopha siyaya…besishiya…siyaya…" they sang. As the song played, I understood. Sometimes, you've got to go back home to understand where next you need to go.

Klöckner Pentaplast, a global leader in rigid plastic film and packaging solutions, is announcing results for its second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016.
Adjusted EBITDA grew to € 61.0 million, an increase of 2.5% (€ 1.5 million) compared to the prior Q2, and represents the highest quarterly adjusted EBITDA ever. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales grew from 18.1% to 18.7%. LTM (last twelve months) adjusted EBITDA was € 218.2 million, which is also the highest level ever. Fiscal second quarter's results also reflect the impact of the stronger US-Dollar.
Volumes were flat during the period. A change in mix within packaging business and the impact of lower raw material prices resulted in slightly lower revenues. Net sales decreased by 0.7% (€ 2.2 million) year-over-year to € 325.9 million.
Commenting on the results, Wayne M. Hewett, CEO of Klöckner Pentaplast, stated: "Our second quarter results confirm that we are on the right path and reflect continued strong execution by the team."

The days after a loved one passes can seem surreal; most people feel shock and grief as they process their loss. If you need to plan a funeral for a loved one, it can be very difficult for a trying time. When a loved one expressed in life that he or she prefers cremation over being buried, it is important to know your options. Continue reading to learn more about planning a cremation service for a loved one:
Contact a Funeral Home
After your loved one passes, contact a funeral home as soon as you can. A reputable funeral home can take care of many details, such as having the body transported from the hospital, morgue, or home. Working with a funeral home from the beginning will make the process as easy as it can be during a difficult time. Since cremation has become an increasingly popular choice, the vast majority of funeral homes are able to plan cremation services.
You Can Have a Visitation and Open-Casket Funeral
If your loved one made it known that he or she wanted to be cremated after death, you can still plan an open-casket visitation and funeral. The funeral home that you work with can help you make arrangements for these events. You will be able to choose the time and place, and the employees at the funeral home will prepare the body for the services.
Purchasing an Expensive Casket is Not Necessary
Caskets range from simple wooden models to very ornate models made of a variety of metals and materials. When you're planning a cremation for a loved one, there is no need to purchase an expensive casket. If you want to hold an open-casket viewing and funeral, most funeral homes will be able to rent you a coffin for the duration of the services. You can then opt to purchase an inexpensive casket to hold your loved one's body during the cremation process.
Choosing What to Do with the Cremains
After the cremation is completed, you will need to decide what you and your family wish to do with the cremains. During the funeral planning process, you can select an urn for the cremains; there are many beautiful urns that can hold cremains and be placed in a place of honor in your home. You also have the option of placing the cremains in a small tomb in a cemetery of your choosing. If you're loved one had a favorite place, you may consider scattering some of the cremains in the place that he or she loved best.

My beloved paternal grandmother passed away almost 4 years ago. Before her death, this special woman suffered many months due to a fatal lung disease. After her passing, her large extended family wanted to celebrate her unique life with an elaborate funeral service. They chose to work with the funeral home staff to decorate the funeral venue with things she loved. Because she enjoyed fishing, a large floral arrangement in the shape of a fish was purchased. Also, the family bought a floral cross to illustrate her devotion to her faith. On this blog, you will discover how to work with a funeral home staff on decorations at the funeral service venue.

The MMLA Community
One of the extra benefits of learning at MMLA is getting to live and learn with an amazingly diverse group of teachers and students. With students and teachers from all over the US and the world, the campus is rich in experiences and perspectives that shape every part of learning at MMLA.
I remember being at one of the first English-allowed events, with everyone commenting on the sudden materialization of accents after a week of speaking only Mandarin. It was strange to be reminded of what different backgrounds we had, even though we all shared a common goal. But it was those different experiences that contributed to such a lively environment where internationally focused learning extended far beyond the classroom.
In short, be prepared to feel the international-ness everywhere you step, and be transformed into a part of one, big, multilingual family while you're at MMLA.
Katya Pollock is a ninth grade student from Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada. Last summer, she attended MMLA at Green Mountain College to improve her Mandarin Chinese proficiency. Outside of MMLA, Katya studies Mandarin with an at-home tutor. This summer, she's enrolled in the Chinese Academy at Swarthmore.

The following essay will examine ethical issues addressed through the movie "Blood Diamond". The two main issues identified and discussed are; child soldiers and conflict diamonds. My main lens of ethical theories will consist of the four western theories, this includes, egoism, utilitarianism, ethics of duties and ethics of rights. Even though these theories are based on ethical absolutism, I will still try to apply a pluralistic view. Additionally, some of these theories will be expanded and other theories that do not tend so much towards ethical absolutism …show more content…

Challenging perceptions? Again, check. People on the London Underground aren't meant to be making eye contact, much less dancing with each other.
But the party got started at the bottom of Marble Arch escalators earlier this week, when people postponed their journeys to join in with their fellow travellers singing along.
Natasha Violeta uploaded footage to Facebook and it has been warming people's hearts ever since.
After he got home, busker Ali Köse posted on Twitter: 'Tonight was amazing! The underground got woken up with a good Kozy set! Priceless moment for me'
It had a strong reaction on Facebook, with more than 7,000 shares already.

- "This is a consular ship… we're on a diplomatic mission…"
"If this is a consular ship, where is the Ambassador?"
- ―Captain Antilles and Darth Vader, shortly before the latter kills the former
The Tantive IV (pronounced /ˈtæntɪˌvi 'fɔ:r/) was a CR90 corvette in the service of the House of Organa. The ship was a central player in the events at the beginning of the Galactic Civil War, serving as Princess Leia Organa's personal starship in the leadup to the Battle of Yavin.
The ship was mostly white, as was typical for CR90 corvettes,[source?] painted with red lines.[7] As a vessel of state, the ship featured dining rooms for hosting state dinners, as well as conference centers suitable for negotiations with interstellar dignitaries.[20] Bail Organa had an office aboard.[10] The Tantive IV also carried four 12-passenger[1] and eight smaller escape pods.[7]
The ship was used by Bail as a mobile headquarters during his duties as the Senator of Alderaan, during and after the Clone Wars. Organa took it to Toydaria in order to negotiate with King Katuunko about the possibility of using his world as a staging ground for a Republic supply mission to Ryloth.[5] One year after the rise of the Galactic Empire, it was briefly broken into by Ahsoka Tano in her quest to speak with Bail. She had R2-D2's assistance in this, as the astromech droid secretly opened one of the corvette's airlocks so Ahsoka, wearing a spacesuit, could slip inside. It later assisted with the evacuation of Raada.[10]
In 5 BBY, the Spectres returned C-3PO and R2-D2 to Bail aboard the Tantive IV. The two droids had been on a mission to prevent a shipment of T-7 ion disruptor rifles from falling into Imperial hands, and had encountered the Ghost crew in the process.[21]
When Leia Organa came of age and had her Day of Demand, she was able to requisition the ship for use on relief missions. She took the Tantive IV on her first mission, to Wobani, where she wound up evacuating 100 refugees under the pretense of hiring them as crew for the corvette, unwittingly destroying Bail's secret negotiations to relocate the suffering planet's population. Leia took the vessel on several more missions while completing her Challenge of the Heart, including to the planets Chasmeene and Chal Hudda. During this time, Bail still used the ship for rebel business, including to the rebel base at Paucris Major. The Viceroy evacuated from Paucris in the Tantive IV after Leia arrived warning of the impending arrival of an Imperial fleet in the system.[14]
Galactic Civil WarEdit
Shortly before the Battle of Scarif, the Tantive IV was on a mission in which it was severely damaged, requiring extensive repairs to its hyperdrive, engines and weapons. It was in drydock aboard the Profundity undergoing those repairs when the Rebel fleet was forced to scramble to Scarif.[18] Leia had boarded the corvette with the intention of traveling to Tatooine to meet with the exiled Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi, the battle breaking out before she could leave. Towards the end of the battle, the Tantive IV barely managed to launch from the crippled Rebel flagship and escape the battle with the stolen schematics of the Death Star before Darth Vader could board it to recover them.[11] The crippling of the flagship also damaged the corvette's own electrical grid, leading to its shields and weapons being only partially available.[18]
The Tantive IV headed to Tatooine. The crew did everything in its power to keep the ship running due to the damage, and Captain Raymus Antilles planned to ditch the corvette on Tatooine and acquire a new ship to complete their journey. Eight minutes—three quarters of a parsec—short of their destination, their hyperdrive motivator gave out,[18] and the Tantive IV was intercepted by the Imperial Star Destroyer Devastator. In the following battle, the main reactor of the Tantive IV was shut down, and Imperial stormtroopers boarded the ship.[7] Antilles gave the order for the civilians aboard to launch in the escape pod.[18] After her capture, Princess Leia briefly spotted the ship docked within one of the hangars of the Devastator.[22] Soon thereafter, the Imperials destroyed the Tantive IV.[2]
Before the corvette's destruction, R2-D2 and C-3PO, the former carrying the stolen plans, escaped to Tatooine on one of the ship's escape pods.[7] Lieutenant Ciena Ree relented from destroying the pod under the orders from her captain upon realizing that it carried no life-forms.[3] The Empire then announced that the corvette was destroyed in a catastrophic meteor collision.[23]
- "I survived as a prisoner, first aboard Vader's Star Destroyer and then aboard the Death Star. I never learned the fates of the others."
- ―Leia recounting the crew of the Tantive IV decades later
Decades after the end of the Galactic Civil War, Leia, now leading the Resistance against the First Order, recounted her experiences, thinking that she never learned what happened to the crew of the Tantive IV.[24]
Behind the scenesEdit
The Tantive IV first appeared in the 1977 film Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope.[7]
The design of the ship was originally to be used for the Millennium Falcon, but it was found that both the name and the spacecraft were too similar to the Eagle Transporter from concurrent television series Space: 1999. Thus it was modified and used for the Tantive IV, which had less screen time and didn't have a bird-related name.

I thought that Honey by ABK6 is a really interesting liqueur. Strong with its 35%, very sweet of course because there is a lot of honey/sugar in there. But still, strong enough to experience a solid punch after the palate. Another innovative product after ICE by the Abecassis family. Keep up the good work!

Students, faculty, and alumni gathered together in the University Center to show support for UM-Dearborn's LEO lecturers as they bargained for a new contract on Friday Nov. 17.
LEO stands for Lecturers Employee Organization and was formed to "promote the workplace interests and well-being of non tenure-track faculty at The University of Michigan," according to their website. They are the union that represents the lecturer faculty on all three campuses—Ann Arbor, Dearborn, and Flint.
Despite teaching over 50% of the credits at UM-Dearborn, the LEO lecturers are some of the lowest paid in the entire state making a minimum salary of $28,300 at full-time employment. In comparison, the minimum salary for faculty at Washtenaw Community College is $56,641.
In the 2016-17 school year, The University of Michigan made about 1.2 billion from tuition—38.5% of that or $462 million was generated by the lecturers, but only 7% was spent on the lecturers' salaries and benefits.
Many showed up to the rally to support the lecturers and spoke on their behalf, including Dearborn Pride, student government representatives, alumni and State Senator David Knezek, LEO President Emerita Bonnie Halloran, and more.
The supporters also walked through the UC chanting and holding signs that read things such as, "Respect the Lecs," "Highly qualified, Underpaid," and "Those who knead the dough deserve the bread!"
"Our main goals were increased stability for LI's and part-time lecturers in general in terms of appointments and benefits. Put simply, we want more people covered by health insurance, and we want people to keep their coverage, even if they lose a class or two," according to LEO's WordPress.
"We also asked for expanded benefits for parents, including a child-care subsidy and paid time off for those unavailable for long-term sick pay–non birth parents included!"
The next bargaining session is at the Palmer Commons at the University of Michigan on Dec. 1 at 9 a.m. with a rally at noon. You can visit the LEO Facebook page and WordPress for more information.

Balance between study, personal life fosters greater sensitivity as physician
Paralympian champion Cheri Blauwet worked on accessibility in Africa.
Paralympian wheelchair racer Cheri Blauwet learned early in her life the kind of qualities she wanted in a doctor.
'Even as a kid I had a lot of insight into what was going on with my body,' said Blauwet, 29, whose spinal cord was injured in a farming accident at 15 months old. 'I want a doctor to listen to me and trust me. To take an interest in me as a whole person.'
Those are the sorts of skills she learned in her studies at the School of Medicine, and she hopes to put them to work as a physician, starting in June. That's when she heads off to Boston to start an internship in internal medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital followed by a three-year residency in physical medicine and rehabilitation at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital.
'Stanford has been amazing,' she said. 'It's given me a lot of autonomy to take the reins and run with it. It's how I see my professional life being shaped in the future. I want to continue to walk through new doors as they become open.
'At Stanford I was able to shape my career into exactly what I wanted it to be - dynamic and multidisciplinary, and with an outstanding education in the fundamentals of medicine.'
Blauwet, a paraplegic who has raced in 20 marathons, has won medals in sprinting and marathons at the Paralympics. There is little question that she is a trailblazer. She has traveled much of the world to remote spots where few wheelchairs have gone before, working for the rights of the disabled.
'I kind of shimmy in and close doors behind me and do some acrobatic moves and jump around a little bit,' said Blauwet explaining how she manages to drive almost any car, use public restrooms in remote locales and maneuver down alleyways in Third-World countries from Uganda to Argentina.
Blauwet made a recent trip to Africa so that she could participate in an investigation of how to improve wheelchair accessibility. 'It takes strength and agility to move in areas that lack ramps and pavement and accessible public buildings,' she said.
Blauwet's experience at Stanford, with the main campus as an 'incredible resource at our fingertips,' enabled her to pursue her varied interests and continue to strive for excellence, she said. It was possible, she added, to maintain a balance between studies and personal time - an emphasis on quality of life that many medical students appreciate.
'The importance of family, friendships and mentorship were always emphasized, which to me was invaluable,' she said.
Born and raised on a farm in Iowa, Blauwet attributes much of her success as an athlete and as an academic to both her family and the farming community she grew up in.
'All along they treated me just like the other kids,' she said. 'Good wheelchairs, good accessibility made it so that I could be a normal teenager.' She began racing in high school when she was recruited by her school's track and field coach then attended the University of Arizona where she was a member of the school's wheelchair racing team and graduated with a degree in molecular biology. She began her sporting career as a wheelchair sprinter, but later focused on long distances. Now retired from professional racing, she plans to focus full time on her career as a doctor.
Stanford Medicine integrates research, medical education and health care at its three institutions - Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford Health Care (formerly Stanford Hospital & Clinics), and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford.

Several centuries of family commitment have fashioned the Rothschild family's approach to philanthropy. This tradition is seen in our support for the arts and culture, through our donations and financial support for great artists like Chopin and Jordi Savall. It is also apparent in our social action, symbolized as early as 1904 by the construction of affordable housing, the forerunner of today's social housing. The family also made a commitment to the healthcare field very early on with the creation of pioneering institutions like the Fondation Ophtalmologique Adolphe de Rothschild.
Two new areas have been added to our historical commitment to art and healthcare: education and entrepreneurship.
Ariane and Benjamin de Rothschild are modernizing the Fondations Edmond de Rothschild by implementing a more structured, committed and demanding form of philanthropy. Innovation and sharing play a key role in this approach. The missions are intended to promote the empowerment of initiators of daring solutions for an inclusive and collaborative society. This is combined with an ongoing commitment to making a contribution to an ever-changing world.
We have had to rethink our role to transpose our family's philanthropic tradition
to the 21st century. We have had to become more professional and rely on our entrepreneurial
experience to change scale while remaining loyal to the pioneering spirit of our
Benjamin de Rothschild
The Edmond de Rothschild Foundations have always strived for excellence and today continue to explore new paths in their search for tomorrow's talent.
For example, with the Scale Up programme, the approach takes the form of tutoring. The private bankers of the Edmond de Rothschild Group act as mentors for young social entrepreneurs. The Fondations combine social impact with economic effectiveness by giving these young people the means to grow and succeed.
The Ariane de Rothschild Women Doctoral Program enables young PhD students to continue their research and contribute to reducing the inequalities between men and women over the long term.
Meeting the social challenges of a world in motion, acting as a catalyst for talent, finding innovative answers to the multiple issues of diversity and development and making an economically and humanly viable impact are the goals of the family Foundations. Thanks to successive targeted projects, the local initiatives promoted by the ten Edmond de Rothschild Foundations have been laying the groundwork for sustainable global change led by an international network which is unique in the world.
Regardless if we are working with individuals, companies, governments, civil society
or other Foundations, we combine the energy and resources needed to meet current
challenges. By breaking down the barriers between fields and communities, each person
can discover his or her own strengths and become a catalyst for change. We build
multiple bridges between today's world and the more collaborative, multi-faceted
world of tomorrow through the daring programmes we develop.
Firoz Ladak, Executive Director
Edmond de Rothschild Foundations
The Rothschild family's goal has always been to become involved in each philanthropic project, to see it blossom and to help bring it to maturity.
See ahead. Understand the stakes and anticipate tomorrow's challenges. Identify the most inspired projects and the most innovative partners. Manage risk. Assist, advise and transmit tools and methodologies. Then, evaluate the impact and ensure continued performance over time. The Rothschild family's philanthropic investment is based on a well-thought out, methodical and practical entrepreneurial strategy.

today actually feels like a snow day. the weather is so miserable outside that it's put me in some sort of cozy, lazy state where I don't want to leave my house and no one else wants to leave theirs. It was also Christine's last day in town and I'm a bit bummed because the weather kept us both indoors. Though I do feel as though last night was a fairly good last hoorah.

oh to be a painter
there's something that i love very much about painting – both the verb and the noun. unfortunately though, i don't think i would be able to articulate in words why i like paintings so much.
Maurice de Vlaminck and Kees van Dongen are my two very favourite painters. Both of them are Fauvists, which is probably one of my favourite styles of painting. i can't seem to get a grasp on it myself though. Maurice de Vlaminck does a lot of incredible landscapes and Kees van Dongen does a lot of portrait-like paintings. I don't think i can say that i like the landscapes more than the portraits, or the portraits more than the landscapes. i love that they both use bright colours that contrast and complement eachother, and also how they use dark outlines and accents.

Some kind Of social media following is a must for the majority of businesses. However, getting things going past the starting blocks (and beyond a couple of followers who are mostly family and friends), may feel like an uphill battle.
CrowdFire came to my attention when I was searching For a means to build up my Twitter account. I have been using it myself now for many months, and I am really pleased with the outcomes. I'm so happy to finally get around to sharing them with you. So let's begin.

What is CrowdFire?
CrowdFire Is a web-based utility that"plumbs from" to a social media accounts. Originally designed as a Twitter tool, it now also has functionality for Pinterest, LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook. CrowdFire helps you automate the tasks involved in gradually growing a following on social media.
For example, when I set up the Twitter Accounts for this site, I follow them in the hope they'd accompany me back and socialize in the future, and would spend time identifying people in the home freelancing and working markets. CrowdFire helps you find these individuals and makes it quick to include them. Even more usefully, it makes it possible to keep tabs on those who don't follow you back or people who are inactive and not really worth pursuing, which means that you may keep the record.

Does CrowdFire function?
After Granting CrowdFire permission to manage your desirable social media accounts (I primarily use it for Twitter), all you need to do is access the support once per day and follow the directions it provides you.
For Example it is going to give me a selection of content that is relevant to choose from to share in my timeline. Then it will suggest some reports for me to unfollow in after me, because they've not reciprocated. Next, I'll find a listing of proposed reports to follow because they have been tweeting about keywords and phrases that are relevant, or because they are fans of folks in my markets.
On some Days, I will get extra tasks, like feeding in more relevant keyword phrases, checking my automated message to people who accompany me, or checking that the info in my"About" section remains applicable. Is that if the machine notices I keep ignoring a task, it will provide the option of suspending it doesn't bother me for a short time to me.
Everything's Performed with a very friendly interface, and it takes a couple of minutes per day to manage.
CrowdFire Results
What CrowdFire essentially does for me is almost Completely automate a task which has been previously taking 20 minutes each day (and often not getting done due to additional pressures). But I can always catch two minutes each day to perform it.
Most Importantly, my follower rely on Twitter continues to grow at a speed, and rises with followers , as a result of the fact they're people I know are considering freelancing and homeworking.
Lately, I decided to Begin monitoring my amount of Twitter followers, as well as the amount of individuals I'm following. (Keeping this ratio in line is important when you want to maintain the"Twitter authorities" happy with you!)
30 days of Using CrowdFire boosted my follower count . That amount would be vastly higher if I didn't have the ability to unfollow men and women that aren't currently engaging with me, although I'm following 801 more people now. How Does Crowdfire Work For Instagram
It's also important to reemphasize my Followers are decent, applicable followers, that are interested in the kind of stuff my tweets about. They're followers who socialize with my articles, like them, retweet them, and click through to the site. This is extremely important, since there's no point having a follower number for vanity if not one of those folks ever look at your content.
The amounts above prove that I can continue doing What I am doing and steadily increase my Twitter following (at least till I'm after 5000 individuals , if things get a bit more difficult). As you can see below, I have recently tipped over the 2000 mark!
All these Numbers alone make CrowdFire worth every penny. And it's likely to do all this using the version that is free too — albeit at a rate , due to this follow / unfollow constraints.

CrowdFire Downsides
When I Sat down to write this, I knew drawbacks and I'd struggle, and in typing this up, having attained this stage, that stuggle remains!
One recent change that has bugged me is that you used To be in a position to bang down repeatedly on the mouse to trace or unfollow individuals. CrowdFire lately changed so that you now have to scroll down and click each green"plus" icon then (as shown in the screenshot below).
This is Actually a good thing, because it ensures you glance at. It stops you treating the entire thing as an exercise and being lazy. However, it's made everything take a tiny bit longer.
But I have to be honest — this is a tiny criticism, And I can't think of anything else to moan about. CrowdFire is just one of those tools that easy to advocate. How Does Crowdfire Work For Instagram

You are also restricted in terms of how many people you can follow / unfollow each day, and suggested content you are given to discuss.

the other side of the fence
I've written a lot about slowing down and working at being less busy. Recently, I've been thinking about the people whose lives are full to overflowing, who find themselves with more time on their hands than they know what to do with. Some of you are reading this and thinking "I would love to have that problem". But remember while the grass may appear greener on the other side of the fence – it seldom is – it's just different grass. While the situation is different, it can be equally as challenging to be at the place where you aren't sure what to do with your time.
It can be tempting to fill up the time with tasks and projects. But as I've said before, business isn't the same as productivity. And to re-iterate yesterday's blog, projects, hobbies, and tasks aren't always play. I think sometimes we just need time to become comfortable and used to the change in our live situation. Or maybe we can set some goals around things we enjoy so that we find our sense of purpose and joy in new things. It can also be helpful to intentionally think about describing oneself, not just based on our job or family roles. This is how I got into the egg business; Meg's Eggs grew from a effort to try something new and have something else in my life beyond work.
We are all struggling to find the right balance in life, whether that is slowing down or thinking of new ways to lead a full and meaningful life. Let's be kind and supportive to each other, whichever side of the fence we are on.

Mexican Soccer Club Replaces Jersey Names with Twitter Handles
A soccer team in the Mexican Primera Division has taken the unusual step of replacing the players' names on their jerseys with their Twitter handles.
On Friday, the Club de Fútbol Jaguares de Chiapas (los Jaguares) unveiled the new look, which includes the player's number, his Twitter handle, and then the account of the chief sponsor, @CervesaSol.
"Conscious of the age we live in, where we can all stay in touch through the Internet no matter how distant, Jaguar launched a campaign and carried out various activities linked to Twitter," according to a statement from the club.
"In football as in life, 140 characters are enough to decide which side you're on," the club added. Much of the club's home page is deciated to the club's social media activities, with a feed tracking mentions of the club's handle, @soyjaguar.
According to los Jaguares and its official Wikipedia page, the club was founded in June 2002, giving it a reputation for "freshness," according to the club. Posting a player's Twitter handle on the back of the jersey is a first not only for Mexico but also for football (soccer) worldwide, the club added. It's certainly the first instance that PCMag has seen of a team posting a Twitter handle to the back of a jersey, although a man by the name of Darren Rovell ordered a customized baseball jersey earlier this year.
It's probably unlikely, however, that the manager of the club will allow fans to control their preferences for which players actually take the field. Such is not the case for one recent competition. Last Tuesday, Twitter announced that it is teaming up with The X Factor to allow viewers to vote via direct messages.
Twitter has set up an X Factor hub at twitter.thexfactorusa.com and will be featuring tweets from judges like Cowell, Paula Abdul, L.A. Reid, and Nicole Scherzinger, as well as the host and final contestants.We have one question for los Jaguares, however. Given the 140-character limit on tweets, how many characters will fans devote to "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLL"?

When I was in 7th grade, I saw a report on some news show about this guy who played guitar and piano. He was high energy, wrote great songs about the mean streets, laughed a lot on stage, had a bunch of fantastic players in his band.
Instant love.
I remember going to my best friend's house to play, and told her about the news program I had seen. I reenacted something he did, where he was playing his guitar and jumped up on the grand piano and laid down on his back with his legs flailing and kicking around. In doing so, I broke her bed when I went up in the air and landed on my back... and boy did we get in trouble.
Tonight he is in Boston, sound checking for his show at Fenway Park. My friend J is listening and commenting about it on Facebook, torturing me. Making me completely jealous. I've never had the honor of seeing him live. I would love to. I would really love to.
Instead, I have to live with the memory of breaking my friend's bed, and listening to his music in the summer time, drinking beer in the soft summer rain while hanging out with my best friends on the mean streets of Huntington NY.

All of our templates automatically include a color and a logo that floats atop the header section. However, you might want to add a background image to give your site more depth in the header or just more local texture. Here is an example:
This representative's district is on the WA peninsula so the Tacoma bridge is a nice local touch to her site.
Here is how you can do this:
First, you will need the image that you want to use. It will need to be roughly the shape you need it to be. For the header, that's a very low profile - 2000px X 350px might be a good starting point. Load your image and make note of the URL.
To add the image to your header:
- go to website / configuration / advanced
- Click the section for "customize local css files"
- Here, you can add custom css code to include the header bg image you created and loaded earlier.
- Click edit on the custom.css box
- Paste in this sample code:
.top_header {
background:url(http://buco3.blueutopia.com/images/bg/header_sf.png) no-repeat;
background-size:100% auto;
The above code creates this background effect:
Customize for your site
- top_header is the name of the container (leave as is)
- background:url (change the image url to your image location)
- background-size: (this resizes the image to consume 100% of your page width -- leave as-is likely)
- background-color: (change to your desired hex color)
- opacity: (totally optional)
Click save and refresh your site. If the site doesnt show the changes, be sure to do a hard reset (shift-F5).

Dear Friends,
Restoring a decrepit room takes work: wiping away wall-rotting mold; rewiring tangled, frayed electrical systems; re-plumbing the foul mess of outdated, decaying bathroom facilities; and then completing the transformation with a coat of fresh paint and the addition of colorful furnishings.
Restoring the soul of a wounded, violated child takes a miracle that only the Spirit of God can accomplish, and the process takes endless supplies of skillfully applied love and patience from His people.
Both restoration processes are currently taking place at the Eastleigh Campus of Cindi's Hope Academy through the tender ministrations of the staff, who are quietly transforming lives in the midst of one of the most desperate slums of Nairobi, Kenya.
During our visit last March, my husband Bob and I marveled to see the fruit of these two restoration processes, both made possible because of your gifts to Heaven's Family's Victims of Sexual Violence Fund. Cindi's Hope Academy—a former apartment complex—is gradually being transformed into a beautiful dormitory and school. And seeing the happy, smiling faces of the girls who live there was clear evidence of the miraculous restoration work of God taking place in their hearts.
The work in the hearts of these girls wouldn't have been possible without first providing them with a place where they feel safe and valued. When each arrived at Cindi's, they knew little else but deprivation and abuse. But slowly over the following days and weeks, a soft bed to call their own, 3 nutritious meals a day, education, security from harm and the loving attention of staff began to build trust in each girl's heart. Undergirding it all is the clear presentation of the gospel in word and deed.
Warda is one such girl. She came to Cindi's early last year. Warda's mother had fled from the brutalities of civil war in Somalia with her and 2 siblings, supposedly to the safety of Nairobi—only to find that prostitution was the only "work" available. She was desperate to do anything to care for her children, but soon found that the demands of her new trade made it impossible to do both. The alternative was starvation.
The plight of the children was noticed by a government official who knew about Cindi's Hope Academy, so the 3 were soon rescued from their dire situation. Cindi told me they were all pathetically thin—Warda's arms and legs so thin Cindi could hardly believe they supported her—and their spirits within matched their external condition.
When I first met Warda last March, her smile was shy and she seemed to hide behind long lashes of eyes almost too big for her head, so emaciated was the rest of her body. She had that haunted look I have come to recognize in those holding secret, hideous memories. Rape is an unspeakable act against any human being, but particularly so when the targets are children. Hell itself establishes a beachhead in the minds of these unsuspecting, uncomprehending victims.
But God is a great Redeemer, and there are signs that Warda's miraculous restoration is underway. The smell of fresh paint still lingers, but the beauty within is coming forth. Thank you for your support of this ministry to His fragile "least of these" girls at Cindi's Hope Academy.
Because of Him,
Carole Collins
