text: If you have diabetes, you know there are ways to take control of the condition and improve your well-being. One important step is to keep tabs on your heart health. Diabetes is a major risk factor for heart disease. If you have high cholesterol along with your diabetes, the combination can be dangerous. Find out why managing both conditions can be vital to your health and longevity. Diabetes and Heart Disease Heart disease and stroke are the number one cause of death and disability among people with type 2 diabetes. In fact, if you have diabetes, you have the same risk for heart disease and stroke as a person who already has cardiovascular disease. Thankfully, diabetes is a controllable risk factor for cardiovascular disease. By working closely with your doctor to manage your diabetes, you can reduce your risk for heart problems. The Cholesterol Link One way to prevent heart-related problems is to focus on cholesterol levels. People with diabetes often have high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad," cholesterol. LDL is a waxy substance that joins with other material in the blood to form plaque. Plaque slowly builds up and hardens in the arteries. This plaque buildup can lead to heart attack and stroke. People with diabetes have excess sugar in their blood. Experts believe this excess sugar can eventually contribute to plaque formation in the arteries. Diabetes also tends to lower your levels of high density lipoproteins (HDL), or "good" cholesterol, which protects against heart disease. Taking Control To protect yourself from heart disease and stroke, keep your blood sugar under control. Also, work with your doctor to maintain healthy cholesterol levels. Because of your heightened risk for heart disease, your doctor may want your LDL cholesterol to be below 70 mg/dL. This is especially true if you have additional risk factors for heart disease. You can lower your LDL by eating a heart-healthy diet and getting plenty of exercise. Your doctor may also prescribe medications that can help. The good news is that by playing an active role in your care, and taking steps to reduce your cholesterol levels, you can greatly reduce your chance for heart attack and stroke. In fact, experts estimate that a person with diabetes who lowers his or her LDL cholesterol can reduce cardiovascular complications by up to 50 percent. Remember, you aren't alone. Millions of people with diabetes are taking the same steps to reduce their cholesterol levels and boost their overall health. Your doctor is there to help you get started. Key Takeaways Diabetes is a major risk factor for heart disease. If you also have high cholesterol, the combination can be dangerous. If you have diabetes, you have excess sugar in your blood. This can cause plaque buildup in your arteries. Diabetes tends to lower your levels of HDL cholesterol, which protects against heart disease. Because of your heightened risk, your doctor may want your LDL cholesterol to be below 70 mg/dL.

The National Human Development Report 2013 "Inclusive Growth and Development: The Role of Human Capital" considers how inclusive growth, decent and sustainable jobs, and above all, human capital can boost development with a human face across Cameroon.
This document – Malaysia's first Human Development Report – elects Inclusive Growth as its theme. We define inclusive growth as comprising equitable distribution of benefits of economic growth and of social spending across distinct income groups and the poor irrespective of their group membership; robust generation of broadly accessible opportunity for economic participation and safeguards for the vulnerable; and inclusion of citizens in policy formulation and implementation, towards minimising social exclusion and increasing social cohesion. In accordance with the breadth of inclusive growth, we adopt a multidisciplinary and multidimensional approach encompassing economic, social, political and legal elements, highlighting regional, gender, ethnic and aspects of relative deprivation.
Papua New Guinea (PNG) stands at a critical moment in its development. With Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth of over 20 per cent expected for 2015, following the start of production from the massive PNG Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) project, the country has a unique opportunity to leverage significant sustainable and equitable improvements in levels of health, education, income and other elements of inclusive human development. At the same time, the country also faces considerable risks. If poor choices are made, the impact of the high growth rates will be limited, even detrimental to the development prospects of Papua New Guineans and the nation and the lives of people living in poverty. This report aims to provide information and national as well as international case study experiences to assist decision-making in the country. The report has four purposes: (1) Review the extent to which Papua New Guinea's revenues from extractive industries have led to practical human development outcomes; (2) Reveal lessons from other countries that can be useful for Papua New Guinea; (3) Highlight some specific innovations from Papua New Guinea's experience that can contribute to development in other countries; and (4) Stimulate, inform and shift the debate in the country to enable leaders to make appropriate choices for the wellbeing of citizens.
Each company is free to choose what strategy to follow: to become a corporate citizen, which involves assuming responsibilities towards their communities and country as a whole, or to remain, limited to pursuing narrow private objectives. The first option requires more effort, but is the best strategy for ensuring sustainable and robust development of the company. At the same time, the second option condemns the firms to a long-term failure, taking into account the corporate image losses, due to worse attitudes from clients/consumers, suppliers, government and the entire society, as well as the self-isolation of the firm from the transformational processes within the country.

With its collections of ancient, modern and contemporary art, the Musée de Grenoble offers you a chance to traverse the history of western painting from the 13th to the 20th centuries. Included are major masterpieces of classical Flemish, Dutch, Italian and Spanish painting; one of 20th century Europe's richest collections; and all the great post-1945 contemporary art trends, right up to the most recent artworks of the 2000s.
Renowned in his day and then totally forgotten about, thanks to research and exhibitions, Georges de La Tour now has a prominent place in French 17th century painting. His genre scenes and religious pictures are imbued with an entirely re-appropriated Caravaggio-like inspiration.
This St. Jerome, which comes from the abbey church of Saint-Antoine en Viennois, is a noteworthy masterpiece in the collection. The monumental figure of the injured saint, lost in meditation, seems to bow to the format of the canvas, contained as it is in a space that is also too cramped. On a bare and sombre background, the silhouette of the old man stands out, offering us his worn flesh and the frailty of his human condition. The construction of the body using large diagonals heightens the architectural and monumental character of the figure, which is underscored by the lateral lighting. The monochrome aspect of the décor highlights the beige-ochre hue of the skin and the restrained red of the drapery. The fine, thin paint of the whole piece becomes thicker with very virtuoso brush strokes in the hair of the beard and the saint's hair. The open Bible, which Jerome was one of the first to translate, the blood-flecked cord of penitence, the skull in the still lifes and the firmly clutched crucifix are all elements which bolster the high spirituality of the scene. As with most of his works which were readily repeated in several versions, another less austere St. Jerome is held in the National Museum in Stockholm.

Zachary Holly's defense requests mental evaluation
Defense: Reason to believe Holly has mental defect, unfit for trial
Zachary Holly's defense attorney filed a motion with the Benton County Circuit Court requesting a mental evaluation for Holly prior to his court date.
The four page document filed asks the court for a mental evaluation to determine if the defendant, Holly, is fit to stand trial. The motion was filed on January 17.
The document states that Holly should be committed to Arkansas State Hospital for at least 30 days or longer to undergo a mental evaluation to see if he is fit to stand trial.
The document states, "there is reason to believe Defendant is not fit to stand trial." The document also shows Holly's attorney, Pat Aydelott has reason to believe Holly may have a mental disease or defect that would become an issue in the case.
Holly faces capital murder, kidnapping and rape charges in the death of 6-year-old Jersey Bridgeman. Jersey's body was found in a vacant home in Bentonville; Holly lived next door to the girl's family.
The prosecution is seeking the death penalty.
Amanda Holly, his wife, filed a protection order last week.

The Monticello City Council is hesitant to turn over sanitation collection to an outside agency after a June 28 work meeting. The council discussed a proposal from Baker Sanitation for service in the city.
City Manager Kelly Pehrson reported that the city would clear $29,644 per year from the Baker contract, plus a six percent franchise fee of another $7,200.
Baker offered to purchase the city equipment for $140,000 on a 10-year plan, with payments of $16,650 per year.
Pehrson said the sanitation fund pays for itself and contributes $46,170 for administration fees which would be shifted to another enterprise fund.
Pehrson added that there would still be $5,000 in landfill costs and $4,000 in employee costs. The city would also still handle billing questions, phone calls, and complaints.
Pehrson suggested that it doesn't make sense to contract out the service, unless Baker lowers their rate or the city raises theirs. Pehrson added that there would be a $20,000 a year shortfall in 10 years when the equipment is paid off.
Pehrson said if the sanitation department is run correctly, they should save enough depreciation money over five years to pay for a new truck in cash.
Councilman Brad Randall had concerns with keeping the department in the City. "We take this sanitation fund and milk everything we can out of it. We spread employee salaries and wages out of it. We have robbed from it in depreciation to balance the general fund in the past . . . Right now we have budgeted $45,000 in depreciation saved and $42,000 profit, but I don't see us putting anything back into sanitation other than paying the bill for a truck."
Randall said the city should reinvest the depreciation money, purchase a new truck and sell back-up trucks. Randall suggested that it would be prudent to use the money for its intended purpose rather than leave it in an account where another council could spend it somewhere else.
Mayor Doug Allen said the savings funds are set up right for Sanitation and agreed the city should sell the non-working truck and put the proceeds in the savings funds.
Pehrson said he can appreciate Randall's fear but said his role is to push a council to use money for what it is intended.
Mayor Allen said he does not feel they are "milking" the sanitation department and that it is set up legitimately with the wages and expenses that are being paid from it.
Allen agreed that in the past they have taken money from the fund to balance other funds and make up shortfalls. However, he added, "We aren't doing that now. And it's nice to have something you can dip into if you need to. It's saved us from raising taxes before." He added that the city has a reasonable rate for sanitation.
Langston agreed that they should sell the back-up truck while it still has some use. Mayor Allen said the council should target for a new truck in the next budget year.
The council discussed the possibility of discontinuing the recycling program. The council said there is a great deal of employee time and hauling cost associated with recycling.
Newspapers are hauled to the Moab recycling center, but they earn no money for the city. Councilman Scott Frost asked if it is possible to get another dumpster for recyclables.
Langston said a second truck and driver may be needed, as well as more carts in a different color.
Several council members said recycling is hard on such a small scale. Location is a problem due to the high cost of hauling.
The council questioned if it is financially worth it to continue the program. They discussed the possibility of allowing another entity to take over. Mayor Allen asked for a true cost assessment of the cost of the program.
City Manager Pehrson said they are trying to put one together, but it's a difficult task. The council will put the issue on a future council agenda to determine the direction the program will go.
The council also discussed a problem with installation of new Questar gas lines on Silverstone and Oak Crest. The city owns rights-of-way from curb to curb, so Questar can't go behind the curb because they don't have the right-of-way. Because of this, they are threatening to cut into new roads.
Currently, the city is going door to door on the streets trying to get the five feet of right-of-way behind the curb. But if one homeowner says no, then they can't do it. The City has told Questar that if they cut the street, they will have to chip seal the entire road upon completion but have yet to hear back from Questar.
There is concern why the city didn't plan better to avoid cutting new streets. It was pointed out that Questar didn't have funds for their project when the city did the streets and also thought the rights-of-way were the same as the rest of the city, where there is plenty of right-of-way behind the curb.
The city said residents need to understand that the city doesn't have an endless budget and doesn't know what roads they can do from year to year, so it's hard to plan years in advance.
Councilman Craig Leavitt said, "That's just the way it works... When it has to be cut, it has to be cut. You can plan all year long but still, things happen."
Langston said they are doing all they can to keep streets from being cut.
In other business, the Council discussed the issue of fireworks, considering the dry conditions in the area. On the state level, the Governor's office is formulating a plan to deal with fireworks.
Research by the city office shows that every city is doing things differently, with some taking the gamble and allowing fireworks and some isolating certain areas where they will be allowed.
The City of Monticello has not yet made a decision on the city fireworks show. They want to wait and see what happens in Blanding on July 4th and then determine if they need restrictions on Pioneer Day.
The council discussed the need for strict enforcement of any rules that are imposed, including those that are current state law, such as the 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. time for lighting and the date restrictions. The city will try to inform residents of the laws and include safety procedures.
They point out that people will be held liable and prosecuted if they start a fire thru the misuse of fireworks in the City of Monticello. State law requires that a person must be 16 or older to light fireworks in Utah, and parents will be held liable for their children's misuse of fireworks.
The City hopes parents will help to enforce the rules with their children.

Access to water is essential for human survival, as well as human advancement. Without sufficient water to drink and to grow food, no society—however advanced—can last. We have spoken to Sandra Postel, Director of the Global Water Policy Project and appointed Freshwater Fellow at the National Geographic Society, who has devoted a whole chapter in the latest edition of the State of the World 2013 report to how we can use water and its dependents sustainably.
In your chapter "Sustaining freshwater and its dependents" you state that water management has largely aimed at getting water to people and farms where and when they need it. Now, how successful has that been?
Water is not always available when and where we need it. We have a lot of irrigated agriculture in places that are quite short of water relative to the demand for it. So the way we dealt with that is to move water around through canals and so on. The Western United States, China and India are doing this. A lot of places that rely heavily on agriculture or where people are living in dry climates have ended up moving water to them. Our dams and diversions have been quite successful at doing that, but of course it has an impact on the ecosystem. That said, we haven't always looked at the ecological side of this very well and looked at the consequences and come up with alternatives that focus more on local use of water, more conservation, more efficient use of water, etc. And that is really the shift that needs to happen.

Between 1980 and 2006 the volume of water used for Saudi irrigation more than tripled - and nearly all of it was ground water. Do you support this kind of irrigation method for areas with extensive drought issues?
Ground water is an important source of water and a good bit of the earth's fresh water is underground. That water can be used sustainably as long as it is not used faster than nature is replenishing it. Saudi Arabia is a good example, which is a bit unusual in the sense that its ground water is essentially fossil ground water. It was put in place tens of thousands of years ago. In Saudi Arabia there is very little rain fall today so that ground water is not getting replenished. And they decided - for reasons of national security really - to try to become self-sufficient and engrain in food production. They planted large areas in wheat and irrigated the wheat with that fossil ground water and depleted the ground water. More recently they realized that the aquifers were running dry and they decided to phase it out. But places like China, and India, the Western United States – the food basket regions of these countries rely very heavily on ground water to sustain food production. In most of these regions it's not sustainable. In the North-plain of China, North-Western India, and the central valley of California here in the United States – all these areas are over-pumping ground water. They are pulling out more ground water than is being recharged and so they are depleting it over time. This is a danger to the future food supply because if we are over-pumping ground water to meet today's food needs, where is the water going to come from to meet food needs in the future? About 10% of our current food supply to the world comes from depleting ground water. That's a troublesome trend in terms of food security, food prices down the line, and of course water supply. You can look at it as to we are meeting some of today's food needs by borrowing water from tomorrow. You can see a river running dry, but you can't see the ground water being depleted.
So what is the answer to this concern?
Well, the answer is first to better monitor what is happening to our groundwater, and then begin to regulate its use. Once you do that, farmers and others begin to adapt – they invest in irrigation efficiency, they switch crops to grow crops that require less water. In Texas now there is serious ground water depletion and the High Plains Water District put in place essentially a cap on ground water pumping, which was very controversial in Texas because ground water is private property. And yet the supreme court of Texas decided that even though it is private property it can be regulated by an irrigation district for the common good. More can be done as we begin to further reduce the pumping closer to the recharge level. Right now, farmers are allowed to pump as much ground water as they like, there is not very much incentive to invest in using water more efficiently, to put in a drip irrigation system or a more efficient sprinkler system. I think that actually giving rebates or some kind of tax incentive to invest in efficiency would make a great deal of sense because that would help promote a more sustainable use of water which would benefit the future.
What incentives will the government give to be appealing enough for the people to become more sustainable in their use of water?
Well, there is really two or three ways to think about it. One is economic incentives – for farmers incentives through rebates or tax incentives of some kind, financial incentives to invest in efficiency, that's an important one. Similarly for consumers – water use prices at home often do not give the proper signal for conserving water. Food prices are often subsidized in various ways. And then also regulation – water is life, it is not just a commodity. And it is the government's role as the custodian of the public trust in water, to make sure that we protect the ecosystems that all of life depends upon. The market place can't do that. That's a role for government on behalf of the people. And we are just not seeing enough of that kind of action yet.
You say the good news is that we have barely begun to apply our human ingenuity and inventiveness to meet this challenge. Do you think there is still room to change things, to become more sustainable, in terms of using water more reasonably?
Absolutely! That is really the silver lining in this whole story that while we have so many examples of aquifers being depleted and rivers running dry. Part of the reason is that we are not giving enough incentives to develop soultions, the incentives are not there yet. Once they are put in place we will see all kinds of innovation in technology, in management, in water use practices, in changes in consumer behavior – particularly in North America, a little bit less so in Europe. We have a very meat-intensive diet that takes a lot of water to grow the grain that feeds the cow that produces the meat. So consumers have a role to play, corporations have a role to play, farmers have a role to play, and governments have a role to play in setting the incentives. Once those line up, we will see substantial innovation in the water field that we haven't yet begun to see – more recycling and reuse of water, more efficient irrigation, conservation and reuse in our cities, the ability to use more grey water systems in our homes, planting native vegetation instead of thirsty lawns, and so on – there is a whole host of things!
The latest edition of Worldwatch Institute's State of the World series: State of the World 2013: Is Sustainability Still Possible? will be released on April 16, 2013. Pre-order your copy now and register for the European Launch Event in Copenhagen on April 29, 2013 here.

I am personally against ear cropping/docking for looks (show standards can and should be changed IMO) and it is refreshing to hear from someone willing to describe their personal, negative experiences with the procedure. It is more often those who defend their "right" to do what they want with their dogs (property) that chime in to defend such unnecessary procedures with disregard to their pets' health and well-being during an important stage of their socialization as puppies.

Passenger numbers - How many people take cruises from Bali?
More than 11.5 million international visitors cruised to Indonesia in 2016. The majority of those passengers came from China, with 1.43 million arrivals from this up-and-coming cruise market. In 2017, the target number for cruise passengers has been set at 15 million, with further hopes by authorities to raise those figures to 20 million by 2019.
Last year alone, visiting cruise ships made 350 stops in Indonesia. While that number is down on 2015's effort of 400 stops, cruise passenger numbers increased by 30 per cent in that time from 200,000 to 260,000. In an attempt to further boost visitor numbers for tourism and cruising, the Indonesian government has extended a visa-free policy beyond the initial limits of China, South Korea, Japan, and Russia, inviting 30 additional countries to make the most of the visa-free policy.
Bali's port capacity - Where is Bali's port and what capacity does it offer?
The Port of Bali, Port Benoa, is a relatively new terminal, and one where you will usually be greeted on arrival by Balinese dancers. Some cruise ships are able to pull into the dock, while others will lay anchor in the harbour and tender their passengers to shore. There is also a draft plan in place to build a port large enough to accommodate all ships, in keeping up with rising cruise demand in the region.
Facilities at the Port of Bali
The Port of Benoa is a basic one. The terminal building includes a tourist information centre, a batik (cloth) shop, a massage corner, a currency exchange booth, and a small market. You'll also be able to find plenty of taxis waiting to take you to the town centre of Denpasar.
How to get to the Port of Bali
The Port of Bali is slightly removed from the main centre of Denpasar, but most locations around the island are easy to get to with a taxi.
Denpasar: It's uncommon for cruise lines to arrange shuttles from the Port of Benoa, so your best bet is to take a taxi. It's 12 kilometres between town and the dock, which should cost roughly US$30-40. You may also be able to negotiate a better rate. Note that while there is a bus service between Denpasar and the port, buses do not always run on time.
Denpasar Airport: The Ngurah Rai International Airport is 8 kilometres from the Port of Benoa. This trip takes roughly 20 minutes and will cost US$20-30. Keep in mind that taxi fares here are negotiable.
When is the best time to take cruises from Bali?
At just eight degrees south of the equator, Bali enjoys a tropical climate that creates just two seasons: the wet and the dry. You can expect temperatures to remain in in the high 20s throughout the year, although conditions do vary depending on the season.

Follow @flickrhivemind Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind. If you log into Flickr you will see your private photos and larger thumbnails.
Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr database of photography. Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly
from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos
are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos
(as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of
Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr
user and use Flickr Stats you
may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer).
Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them.
There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see
Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples.
If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a)
make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by
Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at:
https://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. Google has a bad habit of keeping out-of-date links and thumbnails in their search results, I can try to help you remove them.
(c) Finally, you can
Banish Yourself
From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. This is necessary to make sure you are the user in question, and also because people use such crazy characters in their Flickr user names. You can revoke access when finished. Once logged in, come back to this area
and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org. (a few people with weird characters in their user names may have had problems)

No, that doesn't mean I'm going to list over two thousand predictions for social media. If I did, however, I would be almost certain to get some of it right.
Instead, I'm going to list my predictions for the year ahead. Which means I'll probably get most of it wrong.
However, just to lend some semblance of order to this post, I'm going to do it in three sections. These are: part one, in which I look at what I pretty much randomly said about social media last year with a cat sitting on my lap, and decide whether or not I was right or wrong (probably wrong, right?); part two, in which I also look back at the aggregated post I did last year, in which I looked across several predictions to see what the consensus was this time last year, and again see how they panned out (or not); and part three, in which, with a cat sitting on my lap, I give you my potted view on what the year ahead holds.
So, onward and downward…
Part One: What I Said About This Time Last Year With A Cat Sitting On My Lap
Here's what I said, in brief, and my take on whether or not it happened…
How can you invest time and effort, how can you plan, when you don't know what's going to happen over the next few months, let alone the next year?
What I Think Now: I've seen quite large developments over the past year, such as continued Facebook changes, the temporary disappearance of SocialMention and the seemingly permanent disappearance of TweetCloud. However, not all of these have been bad, so for example Delicious has been revived, and Google+ has offered a good, new, stable channel (albeit not a platform).
And actually, I don't think confidence has gone down. Perhaps we're just reaching Gartner's plateau of productivity, in which we've figured out how to use this stuff, and are going ahead and just using it, with our expectations more realistic than they were last year.
Yahoo owns the biggest bookmarking service around, and it cannot make money off it. Twitter, as far as I'm aware, still doesn't have a monetisation strategy. I don't quite understand how Mark Zuckerberg can be so rich off the back of Facebook.
What I Think Now: I think monetisation is still an issue, but not a problem. This is because people are conveniently forgetting about it. (Here, I'm referring to the value companies place on their social media efforts rather than valuations of Facebook etc).
If you asked someone today how much value their website creates, and they weren't running an ecommerce operation, they very probably would have no idea. But, at the outset of last year, I felt fairly sure people would be asking about this more and more for social media because they were all strapped for cash.
Twelve months later and the economic situation is probably even worse, but I think social media could be becoming one of those things you just 'do', like websites.
This is actually probably not a good thing because it means companies will be even more lax with their pennies. As an aside, I have to say, the way comms are run by the vast majority of companies out there makes my jaw drop, and this is why monetisation probably isn't a problem, because people just don't measure it. This benefits the people running the comms because they conveniently sidestep the difficult issues. But it just ain't right, surely…
I still feel my temples throb when I meet up with digital colleagues at PR agencies, who recount phrases they continue to come across such as "Let's do some blogging stuff" or "Maybe we should send some tweets out."
What I Think Now: There are actually some clued-up agencies who are walking the walk as well as talking the talk.
It tends to be one or two individuals in a team who really 'get it', and who I sit down with and take them through it all. That, plus training for an entire group, seems to work well.
But yes, on the whole, I think PR is getting its act together. It's doing this by bringing in specialists, or developing its own in-house resource, or working with digital agencies. Which makes it harder for freelancers…
I admit I haven't found the past year easy by any means.
What I Think Now: It's still tough out there. I've been successful in winning new business, but find retaining it very difficult.
As a freelancer/contractor, what you tend to find is that you get involved with individual projects without any real, long-term, strategic involvement. People are not interested in integrating across platforms, so you might get a Facebook gig that has no input from a web team or Twitter channel, which kind of defeats the purpose of social media.
Last year, I did wonder whether I would continue with this work. I'm actually astonished I made it through this year without going utterly insane. Some would say I didn't.
Digital agencies
While I find PR people don't 'get' digital, I do find digital 'gets' PR. My prediction here is that, far from PR subsuming digital, it will eventually be the other way around.
What I Think Now: I haven't seen any evidence that this has happened. We still have dedicated digital operations such as We Are Social, 1000Heads, Razorfish and so on, alongside PR agencies that have their digital teams.
I guess that, if anything, what I've noticed is that a lot more companies, whether PR, comms or client-side, have their own in-house capabilities now. Which does make my job harder, it has to be said. See previous point.
15-minute YouTube clips are cheaper to disseminate but 135,000 views is NOTHING compared to 2 million viewers – regardless of trendy notions of 'engagement', 'dialogue' or 'the network effect'.
What I Think Now: This is related to the monetisation issue. People simply don't seem to think about the money. So, they aren't disappointed. It's a bit like the smoker who read so much about the damage smoking causes, that she stopped reading.
I think people are probably not as disappointed with social media now because they realise it's not going to make everyone stupidly, instantly rich, popular, or influential. This is a good thing because it means we're a bit more realistic. But it's bad because I'm basically just in it for the money and fame.
Facebook is a juggernaut and it's not going to slow down any time soon.
What I Think Now: Facebook is a juggernaut and it's not going to slow down any time soon.
This is even with the advent of Google+. The critical difference between the two networks is that Facebook is a platform on which other people can build their apps, whereas Google tries to second-guess what people want by giving them apps to play with. So Facebook has long legs and Google+ has little tiny stumps. Facebook will continue to dominate.
Dashboarding and curating
I truly believe that every company should be monitoring what people are saying about it, its issues and its competitors, on a daily basis.
What I Think Now: I've had a lot of success demonstrating this to people, because they really have understood how important this is.
I would say this time last year, hardly anyone really took dashboarding seriously. I just could not convince them. A year later however, by taking some time to demonstrate how quickly and effectively you can set up a dashboard, I've now helped several clients with this and they are very well informed about what's being said about their clients online. I actually think it's wilfully negligent not to know this nowadays, and any agency that does not know this will, sooner or later, be very embarrassed indeed.
Social media only works when it scales up. If you don't have enough followers/members/contacts, it won't work.
What I Think Now: Again, this ties into the monetisation issue. It depends on what you mean by 'work'.
There was a brief period during the year where everyone was gassing on about ROI for social media. That noise seems to be distant and quiet now. I think this is because people are thinking that social media is something they just need to do. But this is a pity because if they take an integrated, strategic view, with everything joined up and working together, then you really can work along the chain sequence and figure out how it all contributes to real, monetary value. So maybe that's where companies should be going, says the social media strategist.
So this ends part one. This post actually turned out to be a lot longer than I expected, so I'll do part two in a bit…

While at Adobe MAX last week, I was asked how a user could flatten form fields with Acrobat X. Flattening form fields means removing the form fields themselves and placing the data onto the PDF as regular items. This is a common request for folks who want to "lock down" a form without using password protection.
A person who overheard the request chimed in with "just print it to a new PDF!" While correct, printing to PDF to flatten form fields is not optimal. If there are any transparent art elements in the PDF, for instance, they will be replaced with non-transparent "flattened" artwork. Any interactive content will also be removed and replaced with poster frames, if available. What, then, are we to do if we want to keep our PDF just like it was, but without any form fields?
Acrobat Pro can automatically preflight PDF documents using a robust and configurable preflighting engine. In addition, since Acrobat 8, it can also apply what are known as fixups to PDFs in addition to preflighting. Preflight profiles in Acrobat often contain only fixups, and we'll use one of these fixups now.
With a PDF open, open the Tools pane and open the Action Wizard panel. Next, we need to create a new Action. Click the Create New Action button to open the Create New Action dialog.
The Action Wizard allows you to schedule a series of steps from a pre-determined pool of steps on one or more PDFs. All of these steps get bundled into an Action, which you can start by clicking the Action's name in the Action Wizard panel. We'll name our new Action later. First, we need to determine on what the Action will act. By default, Acrobat will start with A File Open in Acrobat. This will use the currently open file as the target for the Actions that are about to take place. You can also choose other sources, such as a file or folder to which you would browse, a scanner, or even let the user decide at the start. I'll keep the default setting, since I want to be able to flatten form fields in a PDF that I am completing.
The Action Wizard allows you to provide instructions to users as well, and it's a good idea to let the user know what's going to happen. Click Add Instruction Step to add an instruction step. Enter a title for this step and also the text that will show in the dialog. I included the following: "This Action will flatten form fields in the PDf that's open in Acrobat. It will not flatten form fields in an XFA (LiveCycle) PDF. When complete, it will save a new PDF with the word flattened inserted before the .pdf extension" Click Save to close the dialog.
Having given our user instructions, we can now choose the sequence of events. For this Action, we want to execute a Preflight profile. Acrobat X comes with a wide assortment of Preflight profiles, some of which contain only fixups. The one we want is called Flatten Form Data. To choose a Preflight Profile, open the More Tools panel and then click Preflight, which is at the top of the list. A Preflight step will now appear in the list under Action Start. To configure which Preflight Profile will be executed, click the Options button in the Preflight step. Having chosen the Flatten Form Data Preflight Profile, click Safe to save the step.
The last thing we need to do is to configure how the flattened PDF will be saved. I want the flattened PDF to go in the same folder as the original PDF, but with a new name to indicate that it has been flattened. To the right of Save To:, click the menu and choose Same Folder Selected at Start. Then, click the Options button to open the Output Options dialog. Choose Add to original file names: and enter "_flattened" into the Insert After field. Ensure that the output format is set to Save File(s) As Adobe PDF, and then click OK to close the dialog. You can choose to Overwrite existing files if you wish; it will not affect the original form.
Having configured the Action, it's time to save so that we can use it. Click Save, and enter a name for the Action. I called mine "Flatten Form Fields" and entered the text from our alert dialog as the description. Click Save to save the Action, which will make it available in your Action Wizard panel.
To use the Action, open a PDF with Acrobat form fields that contain data. In the Action Wizard panel, click the name of your new Action. You will be reminded of what's about to happen, and then you can click Next to proceed. You can choose not to show this Actions dialog again. Next, Acrobat will pop up our custom alert, and when you click Next, Acrobat will flatten the form data and save the new PDF. This new PDF will have all form data flattened onto page content and all fields will be removed. This is a great example of how Actions in Acrobat X can help get complex or obscure jobs done quickly and easily.

Michigan Military Records
This entry was originally written by Arleigh P. Helfer, Jr. and Carol L. Maki for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
The State Archives of Michigan is the repository for military records in the state. Mail and e-mail <firstname.lastname@example.com> inquiries are answered. The Descriptive Rolls of Michigan Units (1838'1919) are available for certain individuals serving in a Michigan unit during that time period. Their files also include records of fraternal organizations for veterans of the Civil War and the Spanish-American War. Muster rolls of these organizations include names of members and their military history. A census taken of Civil War veterans in 1888 includes county, name of soldier, rank, military unit, and post office address. The state archives has extensive information on the Veterans' Facility, initially called the Soldier and Sailors' Home. It was established for Civil War veterans, but now serves veterans of all wars in which the United States has been involved. Records, many of which are indexed, span a period of 1885 to 1986. Individuals in those records were inhabitants of the facility: wives, widows, and mothers of veterans, and ex-nurses. The case files may include complete application forms with military and family information.
The State Archives of Michigan has no pension records for Civil War veterans (see National Archives holdings). It does have, however, a file of grave registrations gathered by the Civil War Centennial Observance Commission. The forms, filed by county and by name of soldier, include name, enlistment and service records, place and date of birth and death, name and location of cemetery, and additional remarks. They also have Muster Rolls of the Grand Army of the Republic Posts in Michigan. The archives has portraits of Civil War Soldiers, indexed by unit and by surname.
In the state archives' collection classified as Civil War Manuscripts, certificates, diaries, discharges, journals, letters, and miscellaneous documents can be found. The following published finding aids can be obtained from the state archives for their military collections: Archival 1, Records of the Michigan Military Establishment, 1838'1941; Archival 15, Records of the Grand Army of the Republic, Michigan Department; Archival 17, Records of the Michigan Veteran's Facility; Circular No. 20, Civil War Manuscripts. Check for online State Archive indexes at its website.
The Burton Historical Collection holds extensive records for Civil War soldiers, but they are not cross indexed. One group of their records is for U.S. General Hospital (1864'65), which includes a register of sick and wounded soldiers taken to Harper, St. Mary's, and the Post Hospital in Detroit.
George H. Brown, as Adjutant General, published Record of Service of Michigan Volunteers in the Civil War, 1861'1865, often referred to as Michigan Soldiers and Sailors (Kalamazoo, Mich.: Ihling Brothers and Everard, 1903'15). This forty-six volume set includes an alphabetical index. An index compiled by Colman C. Vaughn lists Michigan individuals who served in the Civil War: Alphabetical General Index to Public Library Sets of 85,271 Names of Michigan Soldiers and Sailors Individual Records (Lansing, Mich.: Wynkoop, Hallenbeck, Crawford, Co., 1915).
The state archives also has unpublished indexes for the Spanish-American War and World War I.

Houston's worst speed traps
Photo: Mayra Beltran, Houston Chronicle
You know it before you see the lights or hear the sirens. You've come over that hill too fast, got a little lead-footed on that stretch of highway, blown through that neighborhood at 32 instead of 30.
Cue the cops: you've hit a speed trap … and the worst part is you knew it was there.
Traffic laws were made to be obeyed. They're there for our safety. But still, there's just something annoying to drivers about speed traps – those little pockets of a city that seem to get a little extra attention by traffic officers.
We asked our readers on Facebook for their most despised speed traps in the Houston area. Here are some of their responses. (For more, visit the Houston Chronicle on Facebook.)

In support of the University of Houston's expanding petroleum engineering program, the Society of Petroleum Engineers Gulf Coast Section has committed $250,000 to establish a professorship.
The first of its kind for the program, the SPE-Gulf Coast Section College Endowed Professorship in Petroleum Engineering will support efforts to broaden course offerings, enhance community outreach and spearhead new research by a Cullen College of Engineering faculty member.
"The professorship established by the SPE-Gulf Coast Section will help expand our developing petroleum engineering program," said Joseph Tedesco, Elizabeth D. Rockwell Endowed Chair and dean of the Cullen College. "Not only does it provide another incentive for faculty candidates who are interested in joining our program, but it supports our efforts to educate the next generation of petroleum engineers."
The final agreement, inked this week, was the single largest gift given in the 74-year history of the section.
"We have never given this much money to one institution," said Bill Bowers, past chair of the SPE-Gulf Coast Section, noting that in 2006 the organization initiated a plan to find new ways to support education beyond their traditional petroleum scholarships and education programs. "We believed that helping to support the establishment of the UH undergraduate PE program is essential to ensuring Houston's place as the center of the oil industry. This and several other initiatives we are undertaking will have a significant impact on the petroleum industry as well as on the economy of Houston."
Already offering a master's degree in petroleum engineering, the program introduced a new undergraduate degree option this fall.
The professorship will be key in further expanding the program, which plans to add six faculty members, grow its master's option as well as add a doctoral degree during the course of the next five years, said Ray Flumerfelt, current program director and professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering.
"This is a critical gift that will allow us to start recruiting the kind of faculty we need to establish a program that is among the most attractive out there right now," said Flumerfelt. "Petroleum engineering, as a discipline, is very attractive and its future is bright. There will be many career opportunities for our graduates."
With nearly 40 percent of the industry's workforce expected to reach retirement age next year, the new degree offering is intended to not only replenish this widening gap of professionals who search the world for reservoirs containing oil and natural gas, but also arm graduates with the technical skills necessary to meet the continually growing global energy demand.
The program's curriculum was created after consulting extensively with the college's petroleum engineering advisory board, which consisted of industry professionals. The core curriculum melds geosciences with the technical aspects of petroleum engineering—computer systems, data mining and database management—and includes instruction in project management and entrepreneurship.
Overall, instruction is aimed at better preparing students to discover and design new methods and equipment to effectively extract natural resources from harder to reach places.
With less than 25 bachelor's degree options offered at universities nationwide, Flumerfelt said, UH's program is especially unique.
"There are few programs out there like this," he said. "If there is any place to have a petroleum engineering program, it is Houston. We are at the center of industry and plan to use Ph.D. industry professionals to teach courses to ensure that our program is at the leading edge of industry and technical developments."
The hope, Bowers said, is the professorship will assist the university to grow its niche program and, together, UH and the SPE-Gulf Coast Section can be a catalyst for future collaborative initiatives.
The largest section of the Society of Petroleum Engineers, the Gulf Coast Section is made up of 14,000 members. Since 1935, it has been their mission to collect, disseminate and exchange technical knowledge about oil and gas exploration, development and production. As a section, the organization strives to support technical knowledge through programs giving to primary and secondary schools as well as community colleges and universities in their 21-county-area.

A tool using the glyphs and remastered vector graphics mentioned on this sub board.
This live sitelen sitelen sandbox web app is made possible by the great work done work before me.
Toki Pona is an artificial language invented in 2001 by Sonja Lang as an attempt to understand the meaning of life in 120 words. In my own search, I am convinced this language should not be used to translate large bodies of text or as an actual means of communication but as a personal tool for soul searching.
Sitelen Sitelen or Sitelen Suwi is a project created by Jonathan Gabel in 2012 who created a non-linear writing style for Toki Pona inspired by Mayan script. I try to keep the algorithm behind the sitelen sitelen renderer in the spirit of Jonathan's project and allow for the different ways of drawing the sitelen sitelen.
The sitelen sitelen renderer parses text based on the context-free grammar by Zach Tomaszewski in 2012. I am continuing to improve this grammar now that I find it to give wrong parses in more exotic sentences.
The grammar is parsed using a parser based on the JavaScript implementation of the CYK parsing algorithm by Yurii Lahodiuk. I altered it a bit so that the output fits more to what I need for the non-linear writing system.
The vectorized glyphs are based on the excellent work by jan Same. To make my SVGs scalable I sadly had to get rid of the non-uniform stroke widths. Also I have slightly different ideas about how to use the containers so I took the liberty of slightly altering some glyphs.

The opening street-scene image of screenwriter and director John Singleton's 1991 "Boyz 'n the Hood" still packs its intended punch: a bullet-ridden stop sign.
The stark first shot marked a sign of the times when the film debuted 25 years ago Tuesday. The same could be said for now as the silver anniversary arrives amid a summer of turmoil that needs to come to a screeching halt.
"Boyz 'n the Hood," which strikes clear notes of caution and optimism amid the constant clatter of police helicopters circling above, represented a cinematic declaration that black lives matter, long before those words became a rallying cry of this decade.
Singleton unflinchingly tackles big-picture, concentric vicious circles: over-incarceration, police brutality, drugs, poverty and black-on-black violence. Yet the film's power derives from its tight-focus core – the linked fates of young friends in hardscrabble South Central Los Angeles from the mid 1980s to the early 1990s.
"Boyz 'n the Hood" brims with unforgettable characters, played by top-notch actors, some in star-making roles: Cuba Gooding, Jr., as Tre Styles, a smart, restless youngster sent by his young striver mother (Angela Bassett) to live with his father to learn the real meaning of manhood.
There's Laurence Fishburne as Tre's dad, Furious Styles, a fiercely intelligent and proud man who can see the bigger picture of destructive cycles – and is determined to steer his equally strong-minded son onto the right path, via tough love. There's Ricky (Morris Chestnut), Tre's best friend, who is working hard on the gridiron to earn a college football scholarship and support his own son.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
But it's Ricky's half-brother, gun-toting drug dealer Doughboy (Ice Cube, also a contributor to the film's soundtrack), who emerges as the most fascinating and complex figure. He's both resentful and protective of Ricky, the apple of their mother's eye to his bad seed. Yet Doughboy is set on the wrong track after being locked up as a grade-schooler for mere shoplifting.
Memorable characters fuel indelible moments – with none as jarring as when police pull over Tre and Ricky, just as they're getting ready to graduate high school and escape their neighborhood. A sadistic black cop from Tre's childhood returns to put a gun to the teen's neck simply for the pleasure of seeing him quake with fear.
Fear emerged as the strongest of the gamut of emotions – frustration, heartbreak, anger and a glimmer of hope, among them – that courses through "Boyz 'n the Hood" straight to our troubled present. The most frightening takeaway is the role of chance plays in nudging young lives over the thin line between survival and becoming a statistic – even when, to paraphrase another seminal movie of the era, you do the right thing.
The message, like the film, hasn't aged. As Singleton told an audience in New York last month during an anniversary screening: "I'm hoping that the #BlackLivesMatter thing is not a fad because black lives have always mattered." (via Filmmaker Magazine)
A quarter-century later, "Boyz 'n the Hood," remains must-viewing – or re-viewing: From the opening stop sign to the bloody, bittersweet conclusion, the landmark film tells a compelling, seemingly never-ending story.

After losing the season opener to North Attleboro, 5-2, Oliver Ames is hoping the journey through the regular season can pay dividends, as the two will meet in the Div. 2 South Sectional championship game on Saturday at 10 a.m. at Campanelli Stadium in Brockton
EASTON -- A lot can change over the course of a season.
After losing the season opener to North Attleboro, 5-2, the Oliver Ames High baseball team is hoping the journey through the year can pay dividends, as the two will meet in the Div. 2 South Sectional championship game on Saturday at 10 a.m. at Campanelli Stadium in Brockton.
"All things being equal, North Attleboro, for the first game of the season, I think was one of the cleanest high school teams that I've seen just coming out of the gate," Oliver Ames (16-7) head coach Joe Abarr said. "We faced (Nicholas) Sinacola, who was outstanding, they did everything the right way, executed a couple sac bunts, they made all the plays, and their catcher did a great job calling the game and controlling our runners, so we know we've got a game set up for us this coming Saturday."
A team develops an identity over the course of the season, and the opening game is not always a clear indication of what a team projects.
"The hitters have been my real pleasant surprise all year. We've had guys that we can rely on between (Chris) Pearsons and (Matt) Muir," Abarr said. "Even some of our pinch hitters in (Jacob Levine). Kid hits bombs, he's come off the bench for us in huge situations."
The strength in No. 6 seed Oliver Ames is certainly its depth in the lineup. When the heart of the order in Michael Friel, Mitch Goulet, Pearsons and Muir is not hurting you, there are guys like Jake Erlich, Nick Zwerle and Sean O'Brien available to pick up the slack.
"Right down our lineup there are guys I think that are constantly ready to step up," Abarr said. "... I have a lot of confidence in pretty much anybody we put out there. They have great approaches at the plate, their mental skills as hitters has come a long way. That's something we've worked on from day one, we don't get frazzled by umpire calls, we don't take ourselves out of at-bats, we don't take bad swings, we're able to move on effectively to the next pitch."
Abarr also noted the overhaul the team had to endure with its pitching.
"We've had a lot of kids step up in pitching roles that were not expected," he said. "I've really been pleasantly surprised, but that's been our biggest working product throughout the year."
Something that should give the Tigers confidence heading into the sectional championship game is the fact that they have gone through numerous scenarios that presented a vast array of challenges throughout the tournament. Whether it was coming back from a 2-0 deficit to defeat Bishop Feehan in extra innings, or hold on to a lead despite a late surge by the likes of Nauset and Duxbury, this team is battle tested.
"We've been on the end where we're chasing games in game one (against Bishop Feehan) and we've been on the end where we're protecting the lead," Abarr said. "I think that's good that we've seen both sides of that game, and our team has learned that in terms of chasing, never count yourself out. It would have been so easy for us in the first round to have said, 'All right, down 2-0, we're really struggling against this guy, we can't figure it out, it was a great season, but we've battled.
"On the other end of the spectrum, (Wednesday) when we played Duxbury (11-7 victory), we were up at some point, our biggest lead was (six), and it ended up being a four-run game," Abarr said. "We learned that you can't take for granted those leads."
As far as mentality is concerned, the Tigers are going into the contest against No. 1 North Attleboro (20-2) with an even-keel attitude.
"We treat our opponents the same. We don't ever try to get too high or too low," Abarr said. "We're going to show up and try and play the game that we know we're capable of, and if we can do that we'll give ourselves a chance to win."

In the Mountains of Poetry
Today's Georgia can only be understood if it is seen in the light of the events of the past two decades. The very difficult transformation the country went through after it declared its independence in 1991, and the conflicts in Abkhazia and South Ossetia which plagued the country since then, still largely shape its present day policies. And nowhere is this better described than in Nasmyth's "Georgia" which is a collection of personal stories of the author and author's friends in Georgia over the years. In his words:
I collected stories of people, very specific ones, through which I tell the bigger story of Georgia over time… I never wanted to write about the political forces here, rather the forces that make the politics. This will always give a book a longer life.
[Interview with Peter Nasmyth, Tbilisi, October 2008]
ESI has written a picture story on this excellent book. It is written and it reads like a novel, yet it is full of facts that give a complete account of Georgia's modern day history. The descriptions are so colourful that reading this book is the next best thing to visiting Georgia yourself. What makes the book special is also that the author has updated the book and added new chapters two times after it was first published in 1998. Here we discuss the 2006 edition which covers the modern history of Georgia up to the events of the Rose Revolution.
Peter Nasmyth is a writer and a publisher. His passion for Georgia was born on his first visit there, in 1989.
I have a genuine affection for Georgia. I am not cynical about the country and this I think helps the understanding. Georgia is not like us (the West) with a desire to be all neat and regulated. Neither is it a shining example of political stability. It is a country proud of its emotional originality and contrariness.

For island residents, experts recommend preparing a 7-day emergency kit instead of the 72-hour kit recommended for mainland residents.
On sunny tropical days when the trade winds are blowing and white clouds fill the sky, it can be easy to forget about emergency preparedness planning.
Evaluating your Homeowner's Insurance policy, stocking emergency kits, making sure members of your household know how to shut off water and power supplies—all of these are "to-do" items that should be revisited regularly to ensure that, should an emergency arise, you and those in your household are as prepared as possible.
Please download this "Be Red Cross Ready" disaster planning guide or visit the Hawaii Red Cross website for additional information.
The Red Cross also offers mobile apps to make it easier to access information when you're on the go. Or, you can use their interactive online Get a Kit tool to customize an emergency kit for your family.
Below are several links that will direct you to local and state resources with additional information to help you plan and prepare for unexpected events:
